[cerulean talon]

At least nvidia makes it obvious who to blame with everything labeled NV' :D

[modern iris]

true

AMD is confusing sometimes.

[cerulean talon]

Replace "Some" with "All"

Though, neither of them holds a fucking candle to xilinx.

[modern iris]

Nah from time to time I know what's the problem

[graceful sparrow]

I don't know

[cerulean talon]

Jfc, they have the worst fucking naming schemes.

[graceful sparrow]

I did nothing to my PC or the game

[golden stream]

huh looks like driver issue to me

[modern iris]

Have you seen the naming that I give internal projects at work? XD

[graceful sparrow]

it just happened while playing world of darkness

[cerulean talon]

I know nvidia rolled a drive update a couple days ago.

[cerulean talon]

Mine are fucking awful.

[golden stream]

blame nvidia

[graceful sparrow]

did they?

[modern iris]

Try a clean install of the drivers should solve it

[cerulean talon]

Yes, to patch the discord bug.

[graceful sparrow]

how?

[cerulean talon]

DDU to remove the old ones, pull down a fresh copy.

[golden stream]

^

[jaunty light]

qwwsfhhhdseh already exists

[modern iris]

We have PinkPantherCottenCandy-V0.0.1.1.exe on our drives atm

[cerulean talon]

That's better than mine. My build artifacts are git hashes.

[graceful sparrow]

I don't know shit, I'm sorry

[modern iris]

ok that's worse

[graceful sparrow]

DDU?

[cerulean talon]

https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

[graceful sparrow]

where do I get that?

[modern iris]

there

[golden stream]

^

[cerulean talon]

9/10's asleep, still can google at speed. :Softwaredevs:

[graceful sparrow]

one of these yeah?

[modern iris]

yes

[golden stream]

yes

[cerulean talon]

I also like <language>-<purpose> for my projects. :D

[modern iris]

Damn the netherlands are the favourite I see

[cerulean talon]

No versions, of course.

[golden stream]

the host location should not important with stonk internet tho

[cerulean talon]

Just git shas for versioning.

[jaunty light]

dont need versioning if you keep appending new to it

[modern iris]

Nah since I have to give the order to start a project I can name it what ever I want

[graceful sparrow]

what do I do here?

[jaunty light]

projectNewNewNewNewNewNew

[cerulean talon]

I did too, it wasn't worth my time most of the time. :P

[modern iris]

Also smth we had. It started with New and we went from there

[graceful sparrow]

I don't know what to do right now

[cerulean talon]

I'm slightly better about it now, because my code's used by more people.

[modern iris]

Nah I gotta be creative. Annoying as many ppl as possible before I take over the job of my boss and can't do it anymore

[cerulean talon]

I was the CTO. :P

[modern iris]

Mine is used by the whole company

[cerulean talon]

Classically, my code is used by a very, very smol number of people.

[graceful sparrow]

what do i do here?

[cerulean talon]

It's only more recently my code has seen large enough uptake that I auctually care.

[modern iris]

Nah I have 200ppl using it

[cerulean talon]

Oh yeah, that's too smol. :P

1k is when I started to care.

[inland mauve]

[graceful sparrow]

please, help

[cerulean talon]

And/or when I get phone calls about it.

[graceful sparrow]

I don't wanna press something wrong

[modern iris]

If ppl have a question they can write me an email on my work account. I will answer it.. Eventually some day... maybe

[cerulean talon]

Exactly, that's why when I get a phonecall I care.

[graceful sparrow]

Do I pick GPU or Audio?

[modern iris]

Go and download the new driver first before you start that

[graceful sparrow]

new driver from...

Nvidia?

[cerulean talon]

Nvidia.

[modern iris]

yes

[cerulean talon]

!faq ddu

[opal panther]

Error!

No tag named ddu exists, Kupo!

[cerulean talon]

Hrm, that'd be useful.

Oh look, a mod walked in.

walks out.

[modern iris]

XD

[graceful sparrow]

this one yeah?

[cerulean talon]

Technically, I can't update FAQ.

.>

[sharp star]

Yeah, download the latest drivers first

Then disconnect yourself from the internet

[modern iris]

Mod is typing

[cerulean talon]

Mod is still typing.

[modern iris]

Ah yes windows trying to install ancient drivers on the PC

[royal forge]

Mod stopped typing

[sharp star]

Yep

[royal forge]

Oh god mod started again

[modern iris]

Back at it

[real edge]

download the new driver from your manufacturers website (nvidia/amd), restart the pc in safe mode, run DDU to uninstall your old drivers, then disconnect your internet as the PC restarts(clean and restart), then install the drivers you downloaded

[sharp star]

Windows will always try to install ancient-ass drivers

[cerulean talon]

Per above, can we file a request for someone to FAQ that? :D

[sharp star]

So this is why the “disconnect yourself from the internet” part is important

[graceful sparrow]

How do I do safe mode?

[cerulean talon]

I'm mildly surprised there's not a DDU thread in tech-support.

[sharp star]

Start > Change advanced startup options (assuming 10/11)

[real edge]

hmm I do not make FAQs but I can try

[cerulean talon]

I don't have access.

[modern iris]

My last laptop had an AMD chip in it and was running windows. And it kept installing a 1year old driver and downgraded when I upgraded. Even after turning it off it kept happening from time to time

[sharp star]

I think it’s Advanced Startup

[cerulean talon]

I'm not important enough. :(

[sharp star]

Yeah I think you can make a FAQ for DDU but you should also link Nvidia/AMD/Intel drivers as well (not specific driver pages)

[cerulean talon]

@modest moss Just saying, it exists.

[jaunty light]

[graceful sparrow]

uh...

[cerulean talon]

I can't make FAQ's, but I can turn on and off catgirls.

[cerulean talon]

That's normal.

Physx is part of the Nvidia driver suite.

[graceful sparrow]

that loading bar is gone now...

[modern iris]

Can I uninstall IRL physics?

[jaunty light]

it makes fizzy effects

hence fizzicks

[graceful sparrow]

I can just close this now yeah?

[sharp star]

go back in time and assassinate Sir Isaac Newton

[cerulean talon]

Yes, just undo the fundimental theories of the universe.

[modern iris]

I will do so

No more backpain

[graceful sparrow]

help, please

[modern iris]

yes

[graceful sparrow]

now...what do I do?

[cerulean talon]

Reboot.

[modern iris]

that

[graceful sparrow]

in safe mode yeah?

[cerulean talon]

No.

Just normal, you just need to reload the drivers.

[graceful sparrow]

ok

[cerulean talon]

Step one: Did you install a driver? Reboot.

[modern iris]

@cerulean talon should I tell u smth scarry?

[cerulean talon]

Step two: Are you sure you didn't install a driver? Reboot?

[cerulean talon]

Heck yeah.

[modern iris]

Booting windows 10 from a 2.5 inch 5400rpm HDD with 200GB of bloatware in the autostart

[cerulean talon]

That's not scary.

[graceful sparrow]

How do I check the driver?

[cerulean talon]

Booting that over usb 1.0 on an external drive.

Now that's scary.

[cerulean talon]

That installer above got it.

[graceful sparrow]

I meant check

[cerulean talon]

Nvida geforce experience.

[modern iris]

Ok booting that over a serial port adapter.

Or from a floppy drive

[cerulean talon]

Booting that off an EMMC to SD adapter to CF over IDE.

[modern iris]

I mean someone made an installer on floppy for windows 10

[modern iris]

offff

That's pain

[golden stream]

I won't ask how I would ask WHY

[jaunty light]

Insert floppy 1 of 10234 to begin Windows 11 installation.

[cerulean talon]

Did you see the IDE SSD's? :D

[golden stream]

you can do et doesn't mean you SHOULD do it

[graceful sparrow]

this is the right one yeah?

[cerulean talon]

Yes it does.

[cerulean talon]

yes.

[graceful sparrow]

neat

[modern iris]

No. did they exist? I bet someone was so crazy and made one

[cerulean talon]

My ability to do something means I should do it.

[graceful sparrow]

nothing more I need to do?

[cerulean talon]

They're available now to produce, the entire thing's been open sourced.

[modern iris]

Try if the game keeps crashing

[sharp star]

other than seeing if your game works

no

[cerulean talon]

Hackaday had a decent article on it.

[sharp star]

If your game crashes again you might need to replace/RMA your GPU

because that could point to a hardware problem

[graceful sparrow]

Cause it only started crashing today

[modern iris]

Damn. I can finally upgrade my P4 and Athlon XP PC's with an SSD. XD

[cerulean talon]

https://hackaday.com/2023/01/19/that-old-thinkpad-needs-an-open-source-2-5-ide-ssd/

[modern iris]

wow

I did not expect that

[graceful sparrow]

i am not sure is this an old display

[sharp star]

It’s a few years old

[graceful sparrow]

yikes

[sharp star]

But it still holds up

[graceful sparrow]

ok

[graceful sparrow]

how many years?

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, wild stuff, neat to see tho.

[modern iris]

next thing we see is replaceable battery in an iPhone

[cerulean talon]

Technically, it is.

[jaunty light]

thank you again for very good UX microsoft

[cerulean talon]

Have you seen the gear they ship for that though?

[modern iris]

I know it is

[sharp star]

three, approaching four next week

[modern iris]

I know you can rent it

[sharp star]

Oh and I just found out they’re discontinued

[cerulean talon]

It comes in like 3-4 BIG pelican cases.

It's HUGE.

[graceful sparrow]

oh shit...

[modern iris]

I was thinking about getting my old iPhone 7 a new battery.

[modern iris]

That's ok for a GPU. I know ppl who haven't upgraded in 7 years or more

[sharp star]

I know someone who didn’t upgrade for a decade and sought me out for advice

[graceful sparrow]

game is not crashing...yet

[sharp star]

Speaking of old cards

[graceful sparrow]

but I gotta go for dinner

[modern iris]

Friend of mine played AC Origins on a GTX 745 or smth like that

[sharp star]

Is the GT 1030 still being made?

[jaunty light]

ye

[modern iris]

Idk

[sharp star]

fucking lmao Nvidia

[modern iris]

I mean it's a decent card for retro games cause you can get XP drivers for it for some reason

[jaunty light]

they usually keep the lowest of a generation going forever

[sharp star]

lmao Fermi

[modern iris]

Ok hear me out GTX480 + a Pan + bacon

[cerulean talon]

There's only 1 GPU I want made rn.

Lemme find it.

[sharp star]

counterpoint: wagyu black beef on a Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition

[cerulean talon]

https://www.aspeedtech.com/server/

This right here is the GPU I want.

[jaunty light]

dont even need to go back to the day, 4090 will do that for you

[cerulean talon]

I've got one, and it's amazing >.>

[graceful sparrow]

When should I start thinking about getting a new display?

[graceful sparrow]

Like, how old of a display, should I start concerning

[cerulean talon]

https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=PAUL#Specifications

Check this baby out.

[sharp star]

depends on how old because I went with a first-gen G-Sync monitor for years before it started exhibiting issues

[modern iris]

Uhh uhh I know that one

[graceful sparrow]

I mean like, display card

[jaunty light]

i think they mean a GPU

[graceful sparrow]

Yeah

GPU

[modern iris]

@cerulean talon boot windows 10 from that

[jaunty light]

until it doesnt work or perform like you want

[cerulean talon]

I love this thing. >.>

[modern iris]

:P

[sharp star]

you can still get away with a 30 series GPU now that they're dropping in price and GPU mining is effectively dead

[cerulean talon]

Sorta-ish.

They're trying again still.

[modern iris]

wdym with getting away? Depends on what ppl do they should be fine

[cerulean talon]

But ETH mining, which is what demanded the nvidia cards, is dead.

[modern iris]

It's Nvidia they will always try to empty ur wallet.

[cerulean talon]

I meant from the miner side.

I work in that space. :P

[sharp star]

If Jensen ever pulls his head out of his ass then maybe we'll see a price reduction on 40 series cards

[cerulean talon]

So I'm kept abreast of all major miner developments.

[modern iris]

It's so deep in there if he starts pulling now he could be done by the release of the 6xxx series cards

[sharp star]

Intel's at least looking promising but they still have a ways to go with their formerly absolutely broken drivers

[royal forge]

So what happenin wit crypto now?

Can we take it out back and

[modern iris]

I never did the mining. To expensive in the UK

[cerulean talon]

At the moment, bitmain is rolling another round of ASIC's, unsurprisingly, there's a few new algos on the block that are /just/ now making it to FPGA's.

So we'll see ASIC's in 6 months.

[modern iris]

I mean if u only play the latest and greated DX12 games they are great. XD

[cerulean talon]

I didn't either, I just run a mining pool. :)

And work with the mining devs.

[sharp star]

yeah, their newest drivers were heavily focused on DX9 and they still need work

DX11/12 were largely the same

[jaunty light]

someone will get rich on artificial scarcity just not us

[cerulean talon]

In the GPU mining side, Kaspa's the big one atm, but FPGA impls are coming from TRM.

[modern iris]

before I got the 7900xtx I thought about getting an Intel card just for encoding

[cerulean talon]

But they don't use enough memory to demand high end nvidia cards.

ETH was the nasty mofo in the room that drove nvidia through the roof because AMD didn't work well on it >.>

Which is why you could still occassionaly get AMD cards.

[real edge]

!faq DDU

[opal panther]

How to do a clean reinstall of your drivers

Step 1: Download Device Driver Uninstaller.

Step 2: Download the newest driver from your graphics card manufacturers website: AMD and/or Nvidia.

Step 3: Disconnect your internet and restart your PC in safe mode.

Step 4: Run Device Driver Uninstaller and click on 'Clean and Restart' after you select your device type and GPU.

Step 5: After the PC restarts and you are disconnected from the internet, install the drivers you downloaded from Step 2.

Step 6: After you install them, restart your PC one final time and reconnect your internet.

[real edge]

there, you can now use this command

[modern iris]

Yeah. I always liked AMD but till the current cards I never had a reason to use there stuff except the CPU's since Ryzen

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, 7xxx is the first one's I'm considering.

I've got a 6900xt up in my dev rigs, but I need the vram for my monitors.

[real edge]

thanks codingway and wynne for helping me

[cerulean talon]

Tbh, it points out an interesting bug in kupo I need to unfuck.

So I'm pleased.

I think I know where it is, but that's just gonna annoy me.

[modern iris]

U made kupo?

[cerulean talon]

No, Eanae made kupo, I'm just the current dev.

[modern iris]

Ah

[cerulean talon]

Eanae's taking a break so I'm maintaining and working on new features.

not bad of a FAQ, dunno if linking Intel's Arc drivers is needed for now

[jaunty light]

inb4 it rolls an r18 from pixiv

[sharp star]

probably not?

lmao

[cerulean talon]

Nah, it's a limited API.

I've audited about half of them and they're fune.

*fine.

[deft iris]

How finely did you audit them

[jaunty light]

never say never

[cerulean talon]

It's also currently under "Only a kupobot admin can turn this on."

[cerulean talon]

I have multiple TB's of high quality data I've reviewed, I'm qualified.

[deft iris]

that sounds like rookie numbers

[cerulean talon]

That's only what I save.

[deft iris]

👀 💦

[modern iris]

When it doesn't start with a PB it's nothing. XD

[real edge]

I actually had that in mind as well but I went to their website and it was a hot mess

[cerulean talon]

Man, if furry artists didn't up and delete their profiles every 6 months, I wouldn't have to back up tb's of data. :P

[jaunty light]

the 6k VR stuff is what the 100tb storage is for

[cerulean talon]

Most of ours is 4k movies.

.>

We went a little crazy with usenet.

[modern iris]

My stuff isn't even 4K it's just shows. Like 7 - 20 seasons per show or so

[cerulean talon]

So we've got a 70tb array for shows, and a 50tb array for movies. :P

Then the rest of the arrays are either highly redundant or SSD.

[modern iris]

I got 90 for both

like all together. No split

[cerulean talon]

Yeah.

We had to split ours due to the disk limits of the old nas.

[modern iris]

offf

[cerulean talon]

Ran out of PCIe slots. :(

Couldn't slap in another raid card. :D

So I just bought a new NAS. Until I upgrade the old one to an epyc.

[modern iris]

Last time I upgraded the NAS I moved everything over to my main PC cause back then I had enough storage for that in there build a new NAS with the old drives and moved everything back. That was still over 12TB on a 1G connection.

[real edge]

how I started the decade

[cerulean talon]

I'm thinking about doing a 45 drives box for my next NAS.

And just being "F all this"

[modern iris]

Thought so too. Gonna wait till my box is nearly full and then going to think about it again

[cerulean talon]

I already have a place to jam my tape drive soon(tm)

[modern iris]

I never used tape drive but I heard they great and expensive

[cerulean talon]

Very expensive, very large.

[modern iris]

Nice

[cerulean talon]

I want to use it for bulk backups, I send everything small to rsync.net

Like 30tb+ per tape large.

Price wise is like 10-12k, so not terrible.

Go back a few gens to like 3-4tb tapes and you can get a drive for ak.

[modern iris]

ooof. I have like 30 filled up atm. And don't have any new stuff atm to put on the NAS except the daily backup of the PC and Laptop

[cerulean talon]

Haha.

I just rsync my home dir to rsync.net

Well, backup tools, but you know what I mean.

[modern iris]

Yeah

For the laptop I just use the old windows 7 backup cause I don't 100% care what happens to the files on it not that important. On the PC I have my own backup program.

[cerulean talon]

I tailscale everything to a secure nas these days.

Easier, then that gets shoved to rsync.

Like all my software dev happens over smb mounts.

:D

[modern iris]

I have to have SMB for the laptop and the phone and NFS on the PC

[cerulean talon]

I wish NFS on windows worked better :/

But yeah I use NFS for all the linux mounts.

[modern iris]

Yeah. It's there but also not

[jaunty light]

nfs sux

[cerulean talon]

NFS is king.

[jaunty light]

king of being the worst

[cerulean talon]

Better than a LUN.

"Lemme mount this twice" "oops"

[jaunty light]

dont direct mount ya luns then

at least theres nfs4 now but even then

[cerulean talon]

If I'm just re-exporting them wtf's the point?

[jaunty light]

prevents u from multi mount

[cerulean talon]

I wish it was better, really.

I'd love a good network file system overall, but they're all kinda bunk.

[modern iris]

Yeah. Imagine someone would work on making a better one at work most of the time

[cerulean talon]

I've thought about trying, but I'm not that good at low-level systems programming of that nature.

I'd have to do it in fuse or something.

[jaunty light]

the problem is sun made nfs and there is no undoing it

[modern iris]

True

[cerulean talon]

Not wrong.

I'll still take NFS over SMVB.

*SMB.

[modern iris]

SMB is trash even more than NFS.

[jaunty light]

just like ms made ntfs and still cant kill it dor fuck knows what they are pushing these days

[modern iris]

I mean microsoft also pushes a touch interface on an OS where over 85% of users don't even use touch

[cerulean talon]

:sadtrombone:

Wow, I don't have a sad trombone emote? I'm sad.

[modern iris]

Oh no.

No, I'm not going that deep (yet)

[royal forge]

[cerulean talon]

I think I've worked out how I want to do opt-in vs opt-out commands.

I just need to implement it.

[jaunty light]

it was a trap, now you are shackled to oracle licensing forever

[royal forge]

!hank

Booooooooooooooooooooooo

[jaunty light]

all roads lead to corporate hell

[cerulean talon]

It's off.

[royal forge]

awww

[cerulean talon]

Until I write the opt-in command system, it's not going to stay live.

Right now all commands are opt-out, not opt-in.

[royal forge]

naruhodo

[modern iris]

Changed some things in the windows 10 install. :P Still funny how it thinks it can communicate with MS servers

[cerulean talon]

This is nothing new. Oracle hell is just life.

[jaunty light]

2025, oracle has now counted each trace of your system PCBs to add additional licensing cost

[cerulean talon]

Intel's already there.

Well, does explain why it's 2025 for oracle.

[modern iris]

true

[sharp star]

I like how Microsoft is becoming a lot more obnoxious towards Windows 10 holdouts

[jaunty light]

dont let them know that they could also use NIC speed

sorry your oracle database only has 1Gb tier

upgrade to qsfp28 tier today for 100,000usd

[modern iris]

Wasn't it intel where you could pay to unlock parts of your CPU to get more performance?

[sharp star]

yes

[cerulean talon]

Processor extensions.

Not perfomance specifically

[sharp star]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Upgrade_Service

[modern iris]

Still stupid

[cerulean talon]

Good luck detecting my custom NIC's.

[jaunty light]

avx1024 will be an extra $25 per month.. forever!

[modern iris]

They are at it again with xeon CPUs

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, it's dumb.

[modern iris]

Next thing they do is make there own motherboards again in that weird formfactor

CPU up front and behind that the gpu

I once had one of those

[royal forge]

lads, any recommendation for a USB C charger?

Samsung is too stingy and not giving one

[sharp star]

you could ask Dell or HP to do that, since they like non-standard motherboard form factors and layouts

[modern iris]

I have a ugreen 100W charger it's decent.

[royal forge]

hmmm

[modern iris]

Dell are the worst.

[royal forge]

alright.

I heard Anker was being evil

[cerulean talon]

I like the GAN Ankers.

[royal forge]

i thought Anker became the baddie?

[deep sapphire]

[royal forge]

whats ya reasoning?

Yeah I don't like Linus either

[modern iris]

Mine is GAN idk if that one is tho. I'm not logged in it just looks the same

[royal forge]

Just outta curiosity

[deep sapphire]

WHERES THE CAT BOT

[sharp star]

gone

[royal forge]

!cathank

damn

[cerulean talon]

He drives me insane with inane topics, poor handling, and comes off as an expert.

[deep sapphire]

!Aoi

[cerulean talon]

Hank, whatcha gonna bribe me for 5 minutes of cat bot?

[modern iris]

I used to watch him but I stopped a while ago now

[deep sapphire]

Cute cats in the chat

[royal forge]

He wont tell you about Chevvies for 5 minutes

[sharp star]

admittedly I did watch him at one point

then I stopped

[cerulean talon]

I don't mind chevvies.

[royal forge]

i like Linus videos at times

[cerulean talon]

That being said, for linus, I think he's fine for an entry level user.

[royal forge]

the quick news is nice

[cerulean talon]

I've been way past there before YT was a thing.

:P

[modern iris]

true

[real edge]

linus feels like the mcdonalds of tech

as a channel

[royal forge]

but im not a fan of the constant, uh... ?gamer? build stuff?

i like the in depth reviews

[cerulean talon]

Hank, I'll give you 5 minutes of catgirl.

[royal forge]

but GN is a bit... much

[cerulean talon]

If I see abuse I bap you.

[modern iris]

I'm not. I was 7 when YT became a thing

[sharp star]

GN feels like an overload at times

[cerulean talon]

I was close to 18-ish?

[modern iris]

2006 was it when it came out right?

[cerulean talon]

05

[modern iris]

or was it 5

[cerulean talon]

So I'd be 16?

[modern iris]

Oh then I was 6 XD

[sharp star]

HUB and GN are fine imo

OK, so from what I understand, Anker sold a camera as "offline" but actually was transmitting the data to a cloud, which anyone could access

[cerulean talon]

It's also one of the things that needs fixing.

[modern iris]

yes

That's why I stopped using anker.

I'm only on my laptop and my phone is one. That's it I don't have a lot of devides at home. Well and 2 VMs but they don't do anything rn I guess

[modern iris]

But U can tell I'm on windows cause of the amount it blocks there

[cerulean talon]

Technically, it's only 5 clients.

Technically.

[cerulean talon]

I agreed upon a 60 second global. I'll probally tweak it when I do the opt-in command.

[wide hill]

is there any some kind of magic AI tool that fills in colour on the black borders on a gif?

there is a video i need to turn into a 5 second gif, but the text inside it and the background wouldn't fit

[modern iris]

I think you would need to edit the og video file and then make a gif out of it again

[wide hill]

nono, i got the video

it's just that it doesn't fit

[modern iris]

wdym doesn't fit?

[wide hill]

turn 16:9 to 1:1, and the text gets cropped, make the video smaller so the text fits in the 1:1, you see black bars on the top and bottom

so i need something to fill in the black bars

[modern iris]

You either have to cut off the parts of the video or remake it. You won't get around the stretching. I think. I'm not a video editor or anything like that tho

[wide hill]

i said cutting off won't work

[sly walrus]

why does it need to be 1:1

[wide hill]

No level of professional tools can help if you’ve got shaky hands tbh. All it takes is one slip and oops, console bricked forever

@deep sapphire WATCH MY DIRTY SLUT OF A CIVIC GUZZLE WINSHIELD JUICE

[deep sapphire]

Lmao is that just water?

[potent arrow]

It's uh

Walmart brand windshield fluid

I run through it so much, I don't wanna spend much on it

I'm in Canada so water is out of the question

[jaunty light]

bet you wont show your bookmarks

[inland mauve]

that's a lot of mechanical keyboards you could connect

[torpid kayak]

I just notice the Asus Prime AP201 is a mini-tower

while I find it cute, I'm worried about things will be put inside it taking a space of each other 🤔

[modern iris]

That's an upgraded pre built? I notice the PSU either Dell or HP as far as I know

[potent arrow]

just choose the right size parts and you should be fine

seems like it fits ATX psus so thats fine

[modern iris]

Nah USB-Sticks for RAID to boot Windows

[potent arrow]

the website lists all the size limits and stuff so thats easy

[jaunty light]

it still isnt enough

[torpid kayak]

I heard people suggesting Thermalight Peerless Assassion 120, which is known for outperforming any $50 and below cpu coolers

like, it has six heatpipes 😮

and costs like US$40

[paper tusk]

i also suggest it since slightly better build quality/mount than ventro v5 and much better thermals because double tower

the bling (rgb) fan option i'm not the biggest fan of because no rubber isolation like the non led option)

at least in amazon stock pics

[jaunty light]

I should record my truck and have hank diagnose

could just be a shitty hose somewhere causing a vacuum leak or something

[sly elk]

maybe

9i think it's funny that dell still uses square fan grilles

bwah i wonder what the deal was with late 90s dells and microns looking the same

but yea i think that was when dell started the weird grilles

the micron version

[cerulean talon]

I miss the beige towers some days tbh.

[sly elk]

what I appreciated was that every average joe wanted upgradability and expansion slots.. lots of expansion slots

[cerulean talon]

Yeah, but that was also ISA/AGP?/PCI days where we didn't have one nice easy slot

So you needed a ton of different crap.

[sly elk]

so these things had easy-open cases and all kinnds of expansion for use cases that would seem ludicrous today to do that

true

[cerulean talon]

Just run without case sides. This is the waaaaay.

[sly elk]

hehe I remember how there'd always be that one slot that had both pci and isa slots in it

[jaunty light]

only found a handful of them F

[sly elk]

and then

[jaunty light]

not even EGR with the L connectors either just random replacements that RA is trying to recommend

[sly elk]

the best/worst part of these rigs were how fast they became old

the pentium mmx launched jan 1997. The pentium 2 launched may 1997, the pentium 3 launched february 1999, the pentium 4 launched november 2000

[cerulean talon]

I remember building my first PC around an Athelon xp 2k+ Everything prior to that for me had been pre-built. Wild times.

[sly elk]

we went from super socket 7 to LGA in 7 years lol

[cerulean talon]

Sheesh, was it that fast?

[sly elk]

sorry, 7

[cerulean talon]

Not much better, but at least that feels more reasonable.

[sly elk]

the first lga 775 came out in december 2004

but you could still buy ss7 machines in 99

k6-2 stuff and it was kinda obsolete by then but people still bought it

yea but ss7 to lga was like 3 generation jumps lol

imagine if intel came out with an extremely faster processor 6 months after launching a new one now o_O

[cerulean talon]

For awhile, I knew people still buying up old AMD server chips, I can't even recall their name, for crypto mining because they were better than GPU's hash/watt.

[sly elk]

it's kinda hard to imagine turning around a whole chip design that quickly

[cerulean talon]

Was wild.

Also, they do that.

[sly elk]

the funny/wild thing today

is how you buy a random hard drive

[cerulean talon]

We just call it under the same generation.

:D

[sly elk]

and they use like a 50mhz arm m0+

because it's the cheapest mass produced chip you can get

[cerulean talon]

Right?

[sly elk]

like you can run a full blown linux OS on a hard drive controller lmao

[cerulean talon]

I wonder if they're one time programmable or not.

I was looking at those as cheap uc's for awhile.

[sly elk]

i like the bluetooth socs heheh

where it's like

[cerulean talon]

I've got a tray of ESP32-wrooms.

:P

[sly elk]

"yea this thing can be used as a uart passthrough BUT YOU CAN ALSO JUST RUN A WHOLE THING ON THERE"

[cerulean talon]

Yeah. We were playing with cryptomining on the wrooms because they have SOMUCH SRAM.

Like wtf.

[sly elk]

lol

[cerulean talon]

Project died due to lack of hardware AES.

But was still fun.

Dunno, I'm still shocked at how much memory is on processors these days. Computers got wild.

[cerulean talon]

Huh, the idea discord rich presence plugin is more decent than I expected.

[golden stream]

You mean the betterdiscord or official discord rich plogon?

[cerulean talon]

"Discord Integration" plogon. I'm used to them just breaking horridly so I'd stopped bothering to try.

[golden stream]

Ohhhhh that one ok

[cerulean talon]

I don't usually bother with statuses on discord, but I felt amused tonight. :D

Have seen it in a store. It's huge. I would take it for work

ooo

so much bondi blue

they even have the matching george foreman grille lol

[sly elk]

aw shit

NOOOOO

my trackpad's battery is bulging ;_;

i was wondering why the damn thing keeps sliding around

[cerulean talon]

;.;

[sly elk]

this makes me a sad panda

[modern iris]

Reminds me of an old wireless keyboard of mine which always had alt+F4 pressed for some reason when u haven't used in a month

[sly elk]

it's only 3 years old 😦

I do leave it plugged in 24/7 but still

this is bull shit ><

maybe i should just buy a trackball

ergh ya know

lmao i posted about it in /r/apple and they deleted it

[modern iris]

lol

[sly elk]

yea it drives me nuts

i like apple stuff too but why do they have to be such dicks about it

[modern iris]

About apple.
I was thinking about getting the battery replacement kit to try and fix an old iPhone.
Anyone done that before? I am good at building a PC but those parts are huge compared
to smartphones.
I mean I even have trouble doing my makeup or my nails so fixing a phone? idk.

[sly elk]

as long as you're cool undoing the glue

[modern iris]

I sure am. I also don't mind if it breaks but still would be cool if it's working afterwards.

[cerulean talon]

It's not super hard, having a decent (Not super expensive, but not incredibly cheap) temp controled heatgun helps a /ton/

Makes it way easier not to blindly overheat the battery.

[modern iris]

I guess I could borrow one from work should not be a problem

[cerulean talon]

Other than that, things are just generally tight, I suggest having a magnetic work bench mat to keep screws from going everywhere.

[golden stream]

Heat gun temp control is FRICKIN COOL change my mind

Imo p good for baking?

[cerulean talon]

It's nice we've got PID contollers small enough for it.

[modern iris]

All the regular stuff I have. So basic fix electronics stuff I got @ home

[cerulean talon]

Roomie got a /super/ nice one for working heatshrink, and I'm jelly of it.

[cerulean talon]

Yeh, if you've got a hot air rework station, that works for the adhesives too. Better as it's got a smaller nozzle usually

[golden stream]

Also question:
Should I nuke windows and install linux distro?
No dualboot option, this smol rig is using bluetooth keeb

[cerulean talon]

I mean, what do you want to do with it?

:P

[modern iris]

Last apple I fixed was in 2015 and that was a MacBook

[modern iris]

Yes linux #NoWindows

[golden stream]

Regular lightweight graphic stuff so linux should not be an issue

[cerulean talon]

Then yeah, just go linux.

Windows has it's place, but if you're not on something that's windows specific, yeet that to linux.

[golden stream]

So uh long story short: my win10 FRESHLY INSTALLED nuked its bluetooth driver
Opened device manager w onscreen keeb, NO BLUETOOTH DRIVER

Me: YOU DUCKING IMMA NUKE YOUR ARSE

[cerulean talon]

Seems accurate, send it to linux.

[modern iris]

Ah yes windows. Did that to the lan driver on my old PC

[cerulean talon]

Windows and I have the worst f'in time w/ bluetooth.

[golden stream]

Ya, lemme search my linux boot stick

[cerulean talon]

Also, the fact LACP isn't available in 11 any more is depressing.

The hackery it takes to get LACP working is a pain.

[golden stream]

Also yes this rig lol

[cerulean talon]

I keep around a USB crash cart for rigs like those. :D

[golden stream]

Yes I bring mah rig to coffeeshop

[cerulean talon]

Okay, that /is/ a classy way to go tho.

[golden stream]

Everyone: mac is the way to go for graphic stuff waiting in overheating
Me: ^

Not a powerful one (R5 5600G) but can get the job done ez

[sly elk]

do people still say that?

[golden stream]

Yeah

Still rampant in my school

[sly elk]

I remember knowing a whole bunch of angry millennial artists who insisted on using windows because mac was too mainstream

[golden stream]

You can't do 3D stuff well on mac tho

[sly elk]

like I knew a couple of people who would legit get angry if "macs are good for art things" came up on IRC hahahaha

[golden stream]

Also this one

[sly elk]

why the hell would anyone use an apple mouse 😮

my trackpad was fabulous until the battery swelled ;_;

but apple mice are awful

[golden stream]

DUCKING WINDOWS kinda sadge that I didn't bring screwdriver here or else imma rip the SSD off put my old one in

Tbh, yes Apple mice are awful

The trackpads are great ngl

[royal forge]

WINDOWS ISNT FUCKIN MAIN STREAM???

[golden stream]

BRO IDK

Then again Windows is way more versatile

[sly elk]

it's more to show up at a class full of macs and whip out a dell I guess? which sounds hilarious

I hate using windows for anything serious

[golden stream]

That's why I have rule of setting bios always default to boot disk, and always have linux and windows boot disks

[sly elk]

i mean i would never judge, if you love windows that's great ^^

[golden stream]

More like, bc they work awful on linux

[royal forge]

I wont use linux cz.. well

[golden stream]

Like Unreal Engine editor on linux needs quite a lot of workaround

[jaunty light]

all I need is 30a power and free cooling so I can have an enterprise stack to do.. things and stuff on

[sly elk]

hehehe

[jaunty light]

isn't as fun if you have a 100% virtual environment where else am I going to intentionally fuck up all the things

[cerulean talon]

I really need to make my stupid pihole redundant.

[jaunty light]

[cerulean talon]

It just occassionally crashes, and then I get hammered with ads, not fun.

[golden stream]

download and install bluetooth driver
troubleshoot
"ur device is not supporting bluetooth"
literally B550 ITX and all ITX has onboard bluetooth
the fucc

[jaunty light]

have you tried turning it off then on again

[golden stream]

[dapper nymph]

im interested in this, how much did it cost

[golden stream]

Here's spec:
CPU (+GPU): R5 5600G (iirc 200USD)
Motherboard: Asus B550 ITX (tbh not rmb the price but I paid like 360USD or something around that)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance DDR4, 2666MHz bc f SEA I guess
Case + PSU: Inwin Chopin (recommend getting the Chopin Pro or whatever its refreshed rn)
Storage: cheap arse Kingstone NVMe 1TB

Monitor: XP-Pen Artist 12v1 (~160USD), yes I draw stuff
Keeb: Logitech k380, hey it's cute but tbh the feel is arse

Total: ~700USD or something idk me forgo but then again this is SEA price which may or may not inflated lol

Yes it's a piece of last gen stuff with gradual upgrade but hey it works well

[dapper nymph]

seems reasonable as there's no gpu that isn't a cpu gpu

not sure about the mb

[golden stream]

Some lads modded the case to fit a low profile GPU tho (replace PSU with an external laptop brick)

The MB is the top of the cherry (or so) in the B550 of choice also bc it's the only one available in my place bruv

[dull garnet]

you should get a tower cooler

then your pc would look like this

[golden stream]

Ngl I would love that if not for portability

[potent arrow]

Jsyk, I have no idea why. But a lot of board this gen have two revisions for bt and wifi. One for AMD Bluetooth chipset and one for Intel Bluetooth chipset

Doesn't even matter if the board is meant for Intel or AMD

[golden stream]

Ya, 2 of my boards are Intel chipsets
The weird thing is, w10 nuked its own bt driver, was totally fine the last time I used it

Welp, if w10 nuked itsef, time for linux (again)

[potent arrow]

Shit drives me insane

Ah yes I have a Mobo rev. 1 and a rev 1.1

One of these uses amd chipset.....

[golden stream]

Yeah that's when things may gon haywire

Lemme check mine

I think rev1, no info of 1.1 on the box, formatting NVMe atm

[potent arrow]

Bollocs

Tell me

What kind of fucking Bs is this

Lmfaooo

These two PHYSICALLY look the same btw

[golden stream]

The WAT

[potent arrow]

Not to mention when I order a bunch to stock up, I didnt realize and it causes me great pain

Do you see what I mean now

[golden stream]

Can see tho

[potent arrow]

Look at the bt drivers

[golden stream]

At least ASUS is just Intel, but I once tried to get Gigabyte one

[potent arrow]

The only difference

[golden stream]

WAT

[potent arrow]

But completely different drivers and chipset ._.

[golden stream]

Bruh

[potent arrow]

Yeah

Why does it have two revisions numbers.

[golden stream]

So, rev 1.2 can use both, just pick whatever
While rev 1.0 and rev 1.1 must mind their rev version
NANI

[potent arrow]

-______-

Kill me

Dw you can't tell on the box either jsyk

I've had to go into bios to check everytime

[golden stream]

So must log into BIOS to check??

[potent arrow]

Yeaaaaaaaa

It's anoying

[golden stream]

Man manufacturer and driver jank

[potent arrow]

The funny thing is, I still exclusively buy gigashite for budget builds

Asus ROG boards for higher end

Everything else is garbage, atleast last gen was. I don't plan on revisiting the other boards

[golden stream]

I have a b350 AsRock, it was totally fine and very uwu until I updated bios
Just stuck in boot loop for no reason

Welp, I don't like Asus price but for the sake of headache

[dull garnet]

don't they print version number on the motherboard anymore

[golden stream]

No

At least to my cheapo msi one, but they did stated it on the box so hey good enough

[dull garnet]

my tomahawk says ver 1.0 right there on the board

[potent arrow]

ASRock and Mshit

[golden stream]

O ye my msi does

[dull garnet]

msi is based

skill issue

[potent arrow]

Four dead Msi boards last year reeeeee

[golden stream]

At least their msi afterburner is 👌

Lol

[dull garnet]

discontinued

[golden stream]

Uh wat

NANI

[potent arrow]

I have an ASRock graveyard, so I don't ever want to touch them again

Yeah afterburner is dead

[golden stream]

WAIT WAT

[potent arrow]

MSI wasn't paying the dude

So he's not deving it anymore iirc

[golden stream]

OK MSI THAT'S NOT REALLY NICE

ME SADGE

[potent arrow]

They are blaming the sanctions

[golden stream]

prob unable to pay him instead of not want to pay him

[potent arrow]

Uh

The guys is calling it an excuse lol

They just stopped contacting him allegedly

[golden stream]

Then again the situation is pretty sadge

The latest version still work fine right?

[potent arrow]

Ye

[golden stream]

Ye that should work well enough on my personal rig

[potent arrow]

For now

[modern iris]

Did I just use a stick of RAM to open a coke bottle?
Yes. Yes. I did.

[golden stream]

See GreenWithEnvy on its way to be abandonedware and also Afterburner me sadge

[golden stream]

RGB RAM or non RGB?

[modern iris]

ECC RAM

[potent arrow]

Oh that's fine

I feel like I have too much eec

[golden stream]

Ya that's fine

[modern iris]

It's from an old PC only DDR3

[potent arrow]

Old stock crapware EEC but;but EEC nonetheless

Yeah!

[golden stream]

Ya ^

[potent arrow]

I think I have a bucket full of ddr2 sodium still

I whip them at my friend's often

[golden stream]

Dem

That's like some ancient stuff

[dull garnet]

i used to have a ddr2 dimm as a keychain

[modern iris]

At least I couldn't make any errors opening the bottle than. Am I right?

[potent arrow]

breaks bottle

[modern iris]

That would have been it.

[potent arrow]

Mmm I think the coolest piece of PC garbage is my Itanium 2(?)

[modern iris]

I tried to get one for ages. Where u get that ?

[potent arrow]

Someone gifted me two of them

[modern iris]

Damn

[potent arrow]

It's like a fat ass nvme

[modern iris]

Wait do u mean optain?

Itanium are CPU's

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium

[potent arrow]

No like it looks like a fat ass nvme lmfao

The CPU comes on a module

[modern iris]

Ah yeah it does

[potent arrow]

When I got it originally I was like....what in hell

[modern iris]

PnP CPU imagine

[golden stream]

It IS a fatass NVMe lmao

[potent arrow]

Imagine size of the suction cup rofl

I would guess finding a motherboard for these would be ass

[modern iris]

*smiles

yeah would be

[potent arrow]

26$ for ewaste

[modern iris]

I tried a few used ones but all dead

[potent arrow]

One of mine is definitely... functional

I can't test it, but it's basically NIB

One day I'll see if I can get a Mobo for it

[modern iris]

I wasted like £300 on those and then gave up buying them

[potent arrow]

Yep hence my 0 rush to do it

[modern iris]

Not on mobo's I got a working one. But CPUs

[potent arrow]

Oh I do have a stick of ddr 3 that registers as 6.1 gb in bios

Doesn't boot

But it's definitely a weird oddity

I'm not sure how it works

Never RMAed it because it's cool

[modern iris]

I have a stick of DDR3 ram that says AMD only and only work on old FX CPUs.

[potent arrow]

Wha da fuck

[modern iris]

I didn't know that was a thing until someone told me it was.

I had an old AMD CPU and then got my first "real PC" which was a XEON and I could not use the RAM in it.

[potent arrow]

I do want to figure out how this ram even reports 6.1, so many questions. Like how does it's controller handle it, how does the motherboard even know what to do with it..etc

[modern iris]

I mean 6 would be somewhat reasonable but where do the .1 come from

[potent arrow]

I've always considered an Eatx board/Xeon build growing up because I was very broke

Yeah it says .1

Rofl

Don't even know

It is a 16gb vengeance dimm too

Like huuuuh

[modern iris]

This was my ever real first build with the xeon.

Didn't even had an SSD at the time

[potent arrow]

Be quiet case

Yummi

[modern iris]

yeah

still have it somewhere

[potent arrow]

Small board

My first PC for a while was in a milk crate lol

[modern iris]

yeah the cheapest 1150 board I could get at the time so the 200+ CPU could work. XD

[potent arrow]

My old girl

[modern iris]

LOL

[potent arrow]

Used a PC side panel as a PSU and HDD shelf

[modern iris]

I mean it worked

She served me well

Sorta

Lol

I had the xeon not for long tho before I switched to Ryzen and then to Threadripper

Notice how the only thing that's holding up the GPU is a pcie slot cover...

So sometimes the GPU would fall over and crash the PC...

[modern iris]

Nah I always had a "good" case.

[sharp star]

you may as well have made a PC out of Jenga bricks

[potent arrow]

Look the motherboard is actually secured

I printed the ATX standoff layout

And put standoffs into it

Only thing that isn't secured is the gpu

The PSU is riveted to the side panel

[modern iris]

3D printer ig?

[potent arrow]

No like the paper layout lol

So I knew where to screw them in

It will fit up to full atx

.... mostly

[modern iris]

My question would be what if you have a 4090 and a 3D printed case.
Would it melt?

[potent arrow]

Yes

[golden stream]

Yes

If considering the heat

[modern iris]

Or more like a fusion and they become one

[potent arrow]

There was a reddit post where someone's 3D printed case started to sag

It was hilarious

[golden stream]

[modern iris]

lol

[potent arrow]

Man if HRT wasn't so fucking expensive I could've bought my fucking CPU by now

3900x starting to annoy me

[modern iris]

Why?

[potent arrow]

Doing school stuff makes it choke up

I'm also like two generations behind and I want to upgrade lol

[golden stream]

lol

I would ask how but then you deal with stuff so yeah

[royal forge]

buy it for me?

[modern iris]

I have seen it @ a store. It's huge. I probably could replace 2 - 2.5 screens at work with one of those.

[lost python]

Fuck Samsung

[real edge]

the G7 has been amazing for me

[dull garnet]

based

[wide hill]

you mean you aren't going to use it vertically and add 2 more monitors to the side?

[modern iris]

@ work I would

at home. No not really.

[dull garnet]

you're supposed to have 3 positioned vertically on your desk!

[sharp star]

buy three of them and you’ll have an officially-sanctioned FFXIV zoomhack

[modern iris]

Imagine 3 of them and then playing minecraft. IRL FOV

can this do

4k streaming?

[modest moss]

allegedly

[kindred brook]

HMMMMMM

[dull garnet]

they only state for h264

but its probably most things you care about besides av1

[kindred brook]

h264 is compressed right

[hard drift]

i mean raz probably doesn't have av1 support anyways

[dull garnet]

yeah, pretty old though

[kindred brook]

how do I know if I have AV1 files

o.o

[dull garnet]

you don't

[modest moss]

you'll have h.264 or h.265 most likely

[dull garnet]

x264, x265

Hi10p

friend of mine bought an nvidia shield just to do sw decoding with hi10p files, what a dummy

[kindred brook]

yeah I got HEVC h.265

can this do that

np

[dull garnet]

i'm sure

[golden stream]

Ok I have a question

So uh, somehow my system got shorted (hardware wise). Now it refuses to boot. Seems borked for now.
Data wise, should not be an issue as I can salvage it with my other rig.
Hardware wise, where should I start looking and troubleshooting first?

[modest moss]

do any fans spin or leds light up?

[golden stream]

Nope

No spin no light

[modest moss]

try a new power lead first

could just be the fuse in the plug

at least, UK plugs are fused

[golden stream]

Ya, nothing

Lemme try testing individual parts then

in the morning lol

[modest moss]

psu next then

[golden stream]

Ya suspecting PSU for now

At least data are safe, so prob no worry, disks are removed

[dull garnet]

got that SEA power
