yeah, the dickholes who fuck up their ignition timing and exhaust valve springs so they get backfires because they have no back pressure on their exhaust system

time to put a 5 inch tube on a naturally aspirated engine from 1994

[lost python]

oh fuck the intentional backfires, there is this one guy with his cheap ass mustang with china exhaust who keeps doing this here every couple of days. its like someone is shooting around right below my window.

[umbral moss]

just as obnoxious as painting your car asshole yellow

"look at me everyone, my car is a piece of shit"

[lost python]

its kinda ironic, because at least 70-80% of the guys i see racing around are doing it in a rental car. they cant even afford their own, but still pretend to be cool while not realizing that pretty much everyone along this ~5km street hates them

just sucks that the cops wont do shit about it. they installed a speeding cam further up the street but its too far away to have any effect here and that also took them like 5 years of complaints to finally do

[umbral moss]

there's a strip of road alongside the college where my mom lives that's just about 1/4 mile long

One closely connected trend is that it’s impossible to find dope new two-door non-coupe / non-sportscar whips these days. You might be lucky enough to spot a fire vintage BMW 700 or 320i out in the wild — you might even happen across an ‘80s-era Corolla Tercel that f**ks. But not only do they not make ‘em like that anymore (have you seen how punitively lame contemporary Corollas are??) basically no one makes new 2-doors period.

@odd sand any recommendations for (free) study resources regarding compTIA A+ and Network+ exams? I know Microsoft offers study material for there stuff too, so I’m not as worried about MD-102 (MD-100 is involved in one of my classes and it’s being retired next month )

ANother DIFFERENT Question

...Is it fine to swap the primary display of a laptop?

[void dove]

as in, digitally, so just,. plug in a different display to the laptops display out, and swap in windows?
or do you mean physically, like literally replace the panel/display entirely.

physically, is in many cases, impossible or extremely difficult, as many laptops dont use a standard connector internally in the laptop.

they may use a standard "signal" LVDS, but the pinouts/connector, wont be the same between many panels.

and most of the time are ribbon connectors, so good luck adapting from one panel to another

youll have to do a bunch of research, if you want to do a laptop panel replacement yourself, or see if you can find an Exact panel model replacement online for that specific laptop model.

[lost python]

like, a video editor? could try davinci resolve

[proven oyster]

Digitally

Cus

I am in a weird hole

I use ScreenToGif
I like it to capture footage

And then do edits and so

I found out it has two methods of capture. Bitblt and DirectX

But DirectX doesn't work... on a laptop Secondary screen, because of Desktop Duplication API

But

if i make the second screen, that is, a monitor i plugged in, to be the "Main Display"; it can actually work like that

But, that made me wonder, okay, software wise... what does that mean

Is it fine to have the laptop screen be considered a "Secondary display" software wise?

[void dove]

i can't think of any reason there would be a downside

most software doesn't give a shit what your "primary display" is set to

youll have to figure out the exceptions if they happen, but its not the norm.

[muted spoke]

if you're on windows 11 the built-in win+shift+s tool can do video captures now too, then just edit the resulting video?

[proven oyster]

ScreenToGif Record goes Straight into it

Which is helpful since, while it can edit mp4's and such, the ability to directly put it on the editor as frames without "Extracting" is better

i am in a bizarre tech hole

I also found out that MP4 has NVENC encoder for STG

Which i heaaaaar its really nice?

[wise jay]

whats a good free stresstest for my 4090?

[inland mauve]

if you already own CP77, there's a benchmark in that

[wise jay]

So should I just use the ones in games I own instead of using a 3rd party one? Or are you saying the one in CP77 is particularly good and demanding?

[inland mauve]

it's pretty good because you can turn on overdrive mode and see how well it performs

CP77 is maybe the only game right now that implements path tracing in a modern game at a modern graphics standard

there are other benchmarking tools available, CP77 is just the one I'm most familiar with because I used it to benchmark my 4090

If you want to compare to other computers, 3D mark is nice

anyone
use a dehumidifier here?

[lost python]

a proper electronic dehumidifier will have an effect for sure

[torpid kayak]

hm :d

[umbral moss]

does it do either of those things though? the RT path isn't natively programmed into the engine and that's a big chunk of why the performance is dogwater

as far as I know there are no games with native RT/PBR built from the ground up

neat

[sly elk]

good grief that's an old concept lol

or rather, this dude copied what old dell towers do

[lost python]

but with some interesting results

tl;dw is top input and front output reduced temps for gpu and cpu by about 8-10°C

[sly elk]

but yes, that actually works

[lost python]

CPU was hitting 100°C in cyberpunk before and after stops at like 77

[sly elk]

also that looks like bottom input and front output?

[lost python]

bottom and top are input actually

and both front fans are out

[sly elk]

yea that makes sense

funny thing, I don't use ducting but my case has 2 bottom intakes and 3 front intakes? the front intakes don't make much of a difference in temps for me.

the 2 bottom intakes make a huuuge difference

but that's just the way my case was made hahahaha there isn't a front mesh panel

[dull garnet]

people used to do this with cardboard

lol

not on this level mind you

[sly elk]

I remember when pc cases used to come with duct thingies

but they weren't anywhere near that good

lol I also remember seeing people do this

using the "duct not meant for dryers but often used for dryers" lol

[lost python]

oh yeah my HAF X came with an extra duct for the GPU

like one on the side for the side fan and one for the front.. but i dont remember if it was CPU or GPU

[sly elk]

yea I saw those when I was looking for this lol

[sly elk]

I had a case that had something similar to the lian-li thing, except it wasn't as cool looking

[lost python]

lol yeah this really didnt make much sense

kinda crazy that this old ass case, from a time when GPUs were actually tiny compared to today, still came with an SLI compatible GPU frame

they dont make em like they used to
i remember using the HAF X as my seat during a lan party. sturdy lil bitch

[dull garnet]

they were tiny but their heat output wasn't

[sly elk]

metal got more expensive, and with the glass side panels and the emphasis on aesthetics, I guess they figured people wouldn't count on case durability as much

you can still get some durable af cases, but they aint cheap lol

[lost python]

ye i do prefer my modern cases

because the HAF x was like, idk 12kg? in empty state

was a bitch to carry around

[dull garnet]

I was using a full tower lian li case for a while... With an matx motherboard

Full aluminium tho

Great temps in winter

[sly elk]

yea lian li made some amazing cases back then

i've never had the pleasure of owning one

I had a knock off raidmax that employed the same aluminum everywhere design philosophy (except for the plastic front panel)

when empty the case weighed like 5lbs lol

the old powermac g5 case is all aluminum as well, and has that exact same thing going on lmao

a fully assembled powermac g5 weighs a lot because of the gigantic heatsinks

but the empty case doesn't weigh much

[dull garnet]

coolermaster had a period of aluminium cases too

i wanted one of these so bad

[sly elk]

yep, the ATCS 🙂 though there's also a model they made that was just a chieftec dragon with an aluminum skin

i'm not sure the wavemaster was all aluminum?

[dull garnet]

possibly just the door

even so

[sly elk]

you can always tell because the inside of aluminum cases is shiny 😄

[dull garnet]

i ended up with one of these

P180 was the correct choice

[sly elk]

look at the total lack of ventilation though lol

[sly elk]

these were from that weird era where suddenly people went nuts with sound isolation

stuff like the nanoxia deep silence

which had foam walls everywhere lol

tfw you forgot where you put your mouse's charging cable

[dull garnet]

I remember people adding foam to cases lol

my friend mounted his HDDs with bungee cord lol

[inland mauve]

my brother's old computer is in one of those old Dell cases that do a lot of work to direct air flow

unfortunately the mobo attachment points are inverted

so it's not very useful to do a modern build

also doesn't have enough room

[kind rune]

im glad cases look better now

[sly elk]

i think there were some damn cool looking cases back in the day, and not having to make the front/top/bottom all mesh made for some more interesting designs sommetimes

[dull garnet]

[sly elk]

that said, lian li made a lot of weird ones 😄

[dull garnet]

https://hexus.net/tech/news/chassis/8986-lian-li-liberally-sprinkles-pc60-chassis-lots-expensive-copper/

tfw no copper case

[sly elk]

the silver version of that case was the 2000s standard high end case

aka the 2004 equivalent of the O11 lol

all aluminum, rolled edges, lots of nice stuff

i still wanna get one of those for a retro build :3

silverstone also had some nice clean look cases

i drive a jeep.. which I haven't been driving the past couple days because I kept smelling something like burnt oil

[dull garnet]

I think a friend of mine used a NOS one for his current PC

[sly elk]

and I haven't really had time to figure out what is causing the burnt oil smell

yea and the exterior design is ancient now

right

honestly the US one looks more unique so I kinda prefer it?

but it's an old design by now

i forgot when they did that weird zigzag

2010!

lol and people whine about the charger/300/challenger being old

the thing that peeves me about that design is you have to duck your head getting in/out

which makes no sense to me for something that big

the 2nd row is awesome

the 3rd row is disappointing lol

it has the same problem the pacifica does (and the grand caravan before it) but I think it has a lower ceiling too

I bumped my head against the ceiling (seatbelt thing?) trying to sit in the 3rd row of the odysey lol

oh right that's your sienna

oh

-confused af-

I was talking about the head room thoguh xD

but the 2nd row in the odyssey rocks

I've never driven one so I can't comment on the odyssey's driving experience

I ahve driven a pacifica (and rented a voyager for a week) so I am familiar with those

and it was funny because on paper I leaned heavily towards the odyssey because they were legit cheaper out here

i think even with my employer discount the pacifica still cost a little more

yea I haven't bothered checking measurements

maybe I sat wrong 😄

I just remember bumping my head and being surprised

you can't use the "but the pacifica is a chrysler" argument on me either 😄

I have owned a few ya know

my own opinion, not having much skin in the game because I'm not buying a van (too high for my mom sadly)

#1 is the sienna, no contest

unfortunately they cost $15k more out here because of that

and you either pay a $5-10k markup above MSRP or you wait 6-12 months for the only toyota dealer in your region that sells at MSRP on their waiting list

[deep sapphire]

all the japanese players that come to the MLB drive Tahoes

[sly elk]

I also found the honda/toyota dealers are like
"ok so your costt is $47k msrp + $5k in nitro, window tint, lojack, and other non-negotiables because fuck you"

[umbral moss]

my favorite is the "destination charge"

[sly elk]

the chrysler dealers are like
"well we put nitrogen in the tires and the EVMS tracking system.. oh you don't want it? ok fine we'll sell it for $300 at cost" lol

[umbral moss]

bitch, the car is here already

why am I paying to ship it to you

[sly elk]

or rather idk

it's a california thing I think

most people in california equate "I want a new car" to "time to go to the toyota dealer"

so toyota dealers act kinda cocky here

[umbral moss]

a charge for nothing that just makes it more expensive for no reason sounds like a california thing

[sly elk]

now if you're a millennial!

you get a subaru

and you like love it

[umbral moss]

but they should already have that in the MSRP

[sly elk]

all car companies do destination in all states. IN FACT, california is one of the better states for dealer bs fees because there are very few allowed

[umbral moss]

why is there this annoying dance of "we want you to pay our invoice but here's a shitload of nickel and dime things to get it back"

https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/vehicle-industry-registration-procedures-manual-2/collection-and-payment-of-fees-and-penalties/dealers-document-preparation-and-electronic-filing-service-fee/

even better

CA DMV regulates how much a dealer can charge you for paperwork fees

[umbral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/brooklyn-nine-nine-rosa-diaz-fart-noises-fart-farting-gif-22683456

[sly elk]

If a dealer has a contractual agreement with DMV to be a private industry partner pursuant to Section 1685, the document processing charge shall not exceed eighty-five dollars ($85).

no $1200 "filing fee" BS here

also all deposits for car purchases are refundable

also they're required by law to offer you (not for free) a sales cancellation thing if you want to have the ability to cancel the deal

ouch

this is all they have here

1 van lmao

[solid panther]

I have the opportunity to grab a 4070 but i feel like id be bottlenecked by the r5 5600x

[sly elk]

isn't it just hybrid?

is the 4070 a pcie 4 8x card?

I think the 4070 is still a pcie 16x card

which is important if you're running a pcie 3.0 motherboard

because if you buy a pcie 4 8x card, it will run at 8x on pcie 3.0 which will bottleneck it

[wraith agate]

[deep sapphire]

if the 4070 was an 8X card people would be outraged

[sly elk]

and the jeep was a weird anomaly for me, I like cars more anyway

[sly elk]

I mean, people were already outraged about the 4070

[deep sapphire]

true

I thought about that as I was typing that

[sly elk]

I'll counter and say, that for someone who doesn't have a gpu made in the last like 5 years, a 4070 is probably fine.. if not ideal

[wise jay]

bruh my 4090 was cheaper than those

[sly elk]

and tbh I think more people should be more honest about what they're actually going to do with their gpu

because if you're not interested in playing AAA games with RTX on a 4k screen it's kind of a nuisance and a waste of money

I'm not saying you shouldn't buy one if you want one anyway

but the damn thing costs $2k and it's hella noisy when you start using it

like

I kinda hate playing games with my 3080ti because how fucking loud it is

i didn't realize that until I was playing some driving games on my sim rig with a 6650xt

[wise jay]

huh. I havent noticed my 4090 being that loud so far although my AC is drowning it out right now too

[wise jay]

Nvidia dropped their prices overnight and pissed off everyone

It was such a pain to figure out what brand to go for with my 4090. Couldnt go with EVGA like I always have

[deep sapphire]

nvidia didnt do anything, they set an MSRP, vendors arent required to follow it

and all 3000 cards were overpriced from crypto boom

[sly elk]

goin from a van to a midsize car?

oh ok

[deep sapphire]

you could've gotten an FE for MSRP even during crypto boom, nvidia never jacked the price up on those

[wise jay]

Ya and what happened was Nvidia lowered the MSRP without telling the brands making their cards so they all got reasonably pissed because they didnt get a heads up

[sly elk]

i want an ev for the whole 'responds the same every time, no weird vibrations or noises' but at the same time... I don't wanna spend money on cars anymore

though

I often get the desire to buy a 70s big block chevy car

or a 555 like a 57 bel air or something

[deep sapphire]

you'd be better off buying a modern big block and swapping it out

the heads on those 70s/80s blocks are dog shit

you can find 8.1 big blocks in junkyards for 500 bucks

there's one for sale in calabasas that costs 152k

[wraith agate]

Oh wow, it costs as much as... well let's say I'd need 4 months worth of payment to pay one month off

[sly elk]

damn they don't have a new one for sale

[sly elk]

you know what, this also looks like a corvette lmao

or more specifically it kinda looks like a camaro

except way cooler with that huge rear engine bay, of course

I should really buy a drill set

Only drill I got is like one that was made before I was born with a second handle on it

[wise jay]

ya I had a hand me down wired drill and I eventually bought some cordless ones

[snow cypress]

Just installed new cpu but now the screen for my kraken x53 cpu cooler wont turn on. The fans are working though

[wise jay]

is there a seperate cord for the fan and the screen?

[snow cypress]

Yes but I have both plugged in

Tried not to mess with those cords

[deep sapphire]

https://youtube.com/shorts/LfuyjuM00x0?si=Lqx5WBw1girvpldl

get one of these

[late basalt]

isnt that just a rotary jackhammer hank?

[sly elk]

a familiar feeling xD

[vast apex]

Need serious advice here

If PC randomly shuts down

What’s the likely problem here?

[royal forge]

Does it properly shutdown, i.e. "windows is shutting down" message?

Or just off

[vast apex]

It randomly gives the "Windows is shutting down" message

[royal forge]

I assume all drivers are up to date?

[late basalt]

check in Event Viewer

also, how sensitive is the power button?

you may be bumping it without realizing it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vast apex]

Just a (stupid) context, My aircond is leaking water but it only affect the ones near the power button

it doesn't enter the CPU (of course, I wouldn't be asking this question if it's that)

just the top part of the PC being splashed with water

[royal forge]

As in, u hav water dripping on the pc?

[late basalt]

could be enough to cause it

[vast apex]

only on the top surface.

[royal forge]

Could just be shuttin down to prevent water damage

[late basalt]

it wont

you could drop a pc in water and it'd still run if it didnt commit seppuku

[royal forge]

Hmm.. could it just be shorting something then

[late basalt]

just keep a towel on top of it for the time being and that might be enough to solve the issue

outside if checking event viewer to see if a process or program sent a shutdown signal

[vast apex]

Where do I check?

Is it this?

The critical one seems to be caused by Kernel-power

[late basalt]

if you click or doubleclick on it, it should bring up more specific info as well

[vast apex]

システムは正常にシャットダウンする前に再起動しました。このエラーは、システムの応答の停止、クラッシュ、または予期しない電源の遮断により発生する可能性があります。
The system has been restarted before the it normally shuts down. There is a possibility that this error is caused by the possibility that halts the response from system, crash, or unexpected electricity blockage

[late basalt]

yea, could be a drop of water getting somewhere it shouldnt

[vast apex]

sigh.

Ok

[late basalt]

like i said, try a towel to catch it and see if that helps

[vast apex]

What should I do then

Ok

[late basalt]

never a cup or container, because that's begging to be knocked over and completely fucking it up

Murphy takes extreme offense to computers

[vast apex]

What

No

So it shouldn't be an issue if it's just minor water splash on PC?

that doesn't enter inside, and only wet on surface of the PC (powerbutton)?

(Self note: Need to reposition PC)

[odd sand]

And after that the battery is drained /s

[real edge]

yeah

that price seems too much

a ps5 is 500$

you keep it for 5 years

or more

and through that sub

it becomes a rental pc at that point just with a few exclusive games

you pay more for yearly sub over the course of the consoles lifespan than the console itself

[sly elk]

MOVE YOUR DANG PC AWAY FROM THE LEAK

my goodness lol

also if the power button is on top where the dripping is happening, maybe it got wet and is randomly shorting out

check your windows power settings to see if your computer is set to shut down when you hit the power button

shutting down when the power button is pressed is the most common setting for windows

[real edge]

https://tenor.com/view/chobit-pat-anime-gif-10468802

if it wasn't necessary to buy the sub to use the internet with the console

[vast apex]

Uhh yes? That’s to be done. And I don’t mean that

[real edge]

imagine if steam charged monthly to use its storefront

that is what playstation plus feels like

to me at least

yeah and a bunch of other online games

[odd sand]

I get early release from work tomorrow and oh look Starfield comes out...

Inb4 singleplayer game has online login servers that will be fscked

[dull garnet]

I've never had PS+

across countless PSP, 4 Vita, 4 PS3, 3 PS4 and now a PS5

[sharp star]

lol I cancelled my PS+ sub and it's good until June next year

So I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts

[sly elk]

i saw $50 for tears of the kingdom

didn't buy it though

[dull garnet]

that's nearly enough headers to power all of your fans

[sly elk]

lol you can see them all over the place

after getting a commander pro and a commander core, I don't really care for on-motherboard fan thingies anymore

having those wires all over the front is ugly

but it is useful if y ou only have a few fans!

but imagine having 34 cables come off the motherboard lol

[velvet flint]

not the greatest brand to get a card from but also not the worst

[glossy ravine]

Oh, MSI has it a bit cheaper

There's a 15 dollar coupon and then a 10 dollar rebate thing.

i hope rtings has their review of the hisense u8k up soon, because there is a cashback promo right now and you get 200€ back

[deep sapphire]

expecially on radeon**

https://tenor.com/view/george-costanza-nod-smug-gif-13235912

[dull garnet]

For example I was looking at the asus dual 4070 but the idle load was 10w higher than the FE

And then the msi options had further issues

[velvet flint]

could anyone explain this

UI's missing and if I click on any tabs I can still interact with the video

[lost python]

youtune aint loading

try using a different browser and see if it happens there too

[lost python]

anyone have a recommendation for a bluray player?
because by the looks of it, if i want to play 4k blurays i have to invest like 200€ for one and at that point i wonder if i shouldnt just buy a ps4 lmao

nvm ps4 cant play 4k blurays either

[odd sand]

Buy a PS5? heh

[lost python]

ps5 doesnt support HDR10 or dolby vision

seems like if i want the full package i have to get some 350€ blueray player which is ridiculous

oh my god the entire TV industry is such a scam lmao
fucking bluray players are so expensive just for the ability to play a disc, even 5 year old models

and cheaper ones at best upscale from 1080p, but cant play native 4k

[odd sand]

This is $180, HDR10 and Dolby Atmos etc. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-ubp-x700-m-streaming-4k-ultra-hd-blu-ray-player-with-hdmi-cable-black/6454118.p?skuId=6454118

Open box from $105

Not sure what country you're in though, but you can look up the model number at least

I assume the price on them isn't lower bc physical media is a niche now

[lost python]

hmm

germany

[lost python]

in this case yes thankfully
but the TV-related industry loves to use completely different modelnumbers for different regions and i hate it so much

funny that the sony name for that player is UBX700 with high resolution audio and then in the specs it says it doesnt support high resolution audio

221€ in germany seems to have everything i need

[odd sand]

It says high resolution audio: Yes

Only possible downside is no optical out

I splurged on one of these about 2 years ago. I still haven't had a big movie night to really test it out though

https://www.jbl.com/soundbars/JBL+BAR+9.1+TWS-.html

As in, move the satellite speakers to the back and watch a movie in surround

[lost python]

not sure if i will get a soundbar because i dont think my neighbours would approve

if the TVs sound is good enough, i will just stick with that, which apparently it is according to some review sites and channels

[umbral moss]

sound bars are speaker magic, honestly

there's a huge difference between a TV speaker and a soundbar, even if you don't have a captive woofer

[solid dirge]

I have a 2.1 attached to my computer that I never use

The .1 is very relevant because that sub fucking POUNDS for such a cheapo thing

I'm on the 2nd floor and when I turn that thing up to half (for the record it's marginally taller than my ankle at height) that little bastard is heard CLEARLY across the fucking apartment complex

[sly elk]

i feel really oldschool

[solid dirge]

It's hilarious. But I have concerns about rigging it into a soundbar.

[sly elk]

i would prefer a tv setup like that

oldschool stereo 😄

[solid dirge]

Nothing wrong with boomer style

[sly elk]

no tv hanging on the wall because I feel like it reminds me too much of the TVs on the wall at work

[solid dirge]

OG style is better though because those fuckoff massive speakers make decent end tables.

Definitely don't have some in my bedroom next to my computer stand, no sir.

[sly elk]

yea it's one of those things that is out of fashion for a reason lol

but i like it

tbh I don't have such a setup. I just have a small cheap pansonic tv i bought 9 years ago lol

[solid dirge]

Wallmounts.. I'm a paranoid fuck so I'm always concerned about them falling off, but they work

[sly elk]

i almost never use it, so I never had a justification for upgrading

this looks kinda nice

oh wow lmao

anyway who needs that when you can buy a tv that costs as much a a car

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKIA5ckPcow

actually forget it

the 'wings' take forever to open lmao

ignoring that stupid thing, I do like their floor-standing TVs

but for the cost of those things you could buy... a dozen regular TVs

[dull garnet]

i'd also rather just have good stereo

[sly elk]

If your television is equipped with the optional motorised floor stand or wall bracket, you can turn it using the remote control.

lmao

so that tv has a motor in the stand to turn the tv to face whatever direction

they also offer one without the motor for like $1800 less

[sly elk]

yeeee

but speaker bars do have their place

[dull garnet]

i used to have 80s b&w speakers with 8" speakers attached to my PC

anime never sounded so good

lol

[sly elk]

the desk looks cool but a bit small, love the giant speakers!

[dull garnet]

desk was awful

long gone

[potent arrow]

I never got the trend of glass top desks

[wraith agate]

I'm afraid of glass top desks ever since I fell through one

[deep sapphire]

did someone do a WWE move on you through one or something

LMAO!

there is no trend o_O

idk if there ever was a trend

Clean your keyboard

[torpid kayak]

do people use those sticky goo thingie to clean their keyboards?

[real edge]

I dont but

I can imagine many people wanting a simple way to clean their keyboards

now in order to clean you need to remove all of your keys

and who wants to spend hours doing that

[late basalt]

the people who spend days agonizing over key caps and assembly

[odd sand]

The thing is, that's literally a bandaid bc the real shit is what fell UNDER the keys

[dull garnet]

I set my seeding ratio target to 0

[odd sand]

That used to be a bugaboo for torrenting back in the day, but most things are being seeded by seedboxes connected to fiber backbones, so there is no point to seeding anymore usually.

I've had times I left seeding on overnight and the next morning I was still at like 0.1 ratio lol

[dull garnet]

my upload is only like 4mbps sooo

[odd sand]

When torrenting was new, anime episodes were like 175-230mb and upload was like 35kbps ;p

[dull garnet]

well yeah

now they're like 1.3GB

[sly elk]

ahh that.. I've seen that before lol. they wanted the backlight i think

It was like they did it in the patient rooms so they didn't have to have the lights as bright?

[deep sapphire]

based

dont seed

dont let NBC take your internet down

[flat prism]

Any pc spec guys here my girl is gonna buy me a laptop and I wanted to check the specs vs price to see if it’s a good deal but I don’t truly understand specs

[inland mauve]

I did this a few weeks ago to clean my mechanic keyboard

it did indeed take ages

but it was necessary

and it's much better than a keyboard where the keys aren't removable

[old jetty]

I'll ask again here just in case, any suggestion for a headset with a good microphone? (also good sound quality in general)

[real edge]

the best combo is to get a USB microphone like a blue snowball and audiophile headphones

you can also do this with a modmic

it attaches to headphones

as an addon

gaming headsets tend to have poor quality audio

[sly elk]

and if you're worried about background noise, a samson q2u and a mic arm so that the mic is close enough to hear your voice.. and only your voice

[minor hollow]

Most important is the use case

[flat prism]

I’ll dm you the specs

[minor hollow]

Nah

Post it here

When I say use case I mean what do you plan to do with it

[flat prism]

Strictly for gaming

[minor hollow]

What kinda games

[flat prism]

Tarkov bg3 ff14 pretty much everything

[minor hollow]

And is there a reason it's a laptop and not a desktop?

[flat prism]

I’m military and travel a lot so desktop isn’t a option right now but eventually when I settle I will build 1

[lost python]

1400 is alright for a laptop with these specs

big issue is really just that the gpu only has 8gb vram
but you aint gonna find more than that at this pricepoint

[minor hollow]

Yeah this will do the trick then

You'll play pretty much anything on it

On good settings too

[flat prism]

So the price matches the specs?

[minor hollow]

Its pretty fair

Prob not beating it at the price range outside of some cyber Monday type sale

[flat prism]

Oh nice okay man thanks so much

I was also gonna get like a fan that the laptop sits on when playing this is a good idea or is the fan built in good enough

[lost python]

always a good idea tbh

just make sure you get a good one or else you have a jet turbine running below it

[flat prism]

lol okay guys thanks I really appreciate it

[lost python]

lenovo pls

[potent arrow]

I really really really think the community needs to move away from recommending the snowball

It was good for it's time and the price, same as the yeti

[real edge]

I just said the one I have, it was an example

[potent arrow]

But now we have multitudes of headsets that just make their price not worth it in the slightest. Any cost below an interface XLR set up is usually just taken up by those headsets

[lost python]

problem about mics like the snowball or yeti is that they love recording your keyboard taps because they sit right on the desk

[potent arrow]

That too lol

[lost python]

or just basic ass USB mics on an arm. i paid like 50€ for mine about 8 years ago and its still great

[potent arrow]

And those headsets not only have a good mic, they have good headphones too

[real edge]

they dont for me, but they love the cars vrooming behind me cause I sit next to a window :3

[lost python]

i heard it when we were playing apex

[real edge]

wtf is your memory

[potent arrow]

Beyond those price ranges it's just XLR and interface territory

[potent arrow]

Pretty much lol

It's kinda mergh

[old jetty]

ye, looking into getting a usb mic to stick on top of the headphones

[potent arrow]

Yeah, not aiming at you directly. I'm just fucking pissed off at this stupid community sticking to a stupid expensive mic for a million years like we have gotten nothing better

[lost python]

oh right

what you can actually also do

[old jetty]

modMic is also the name of the brand, or just what they're called? (sorry for ignorance Nhadala)

[potent arrow]

Modmic yeah

Brand

By antilion

[lost python]

is get, for example, beyerdynamic custon one or any other headphone with basic 3.5mm detachable cables and get one of those cables that include a microphone, like the vmoda boom pro. that way you dont have to deal with wireless baterrylifes or multiple cables

[potent arrow]

Vmoda is pretty good

Problem is availability

[lost python]

can only speak for us here and they are pretty available

[real edge]

there are good headsets now? I remember back then they had bad quality mic and questionable headphones

[potent arrow]

Expensive here because they arnt

Vmoda? It's an inline mic

They are pretty decent nowadays

[lost python]

looks like this. basically a cable replacement that includes a microphone

[real edge]

so if you wanted good sound and good mic your only option was a 100-150$ audiophile headphones like beyerdynamic and a USB mic for like 40-60

cause headsets always gave away something

[lost python]

but headsets have become better for sure.
i just still think they are often too expensive for what they offer but its not that bad anymore

[potent arrow]

Do I have to plug the corsairs again lol

Like you really can't say these don't sound good lol
https://youtu.be/1PpHeorQjDA?si=RpXZKIBELqa90QKc

[old jetty]

ye, got a vmoda (mostly cause it was 50 euros cheaper compared to mod mic)

gonna try and see how it goes

[potent arrow]

For 90$ I would say the hs65 sounds better then a snowball, and it has good pair of cans

[real edge]

open or closed?

[potent arrow]

Closed

[real edge]

I have someone next to me and cars vrooming behind me so closed is the best option for me

[lost python]

id already completely ignore the corsair because of all the fucking plastic lmao

[potent arrow]

Yeah but pricing lmao

They have to cut costs somewhere, but I get ir

[lost python]

since the beginning of time, these headband designs have randomly snapped on people

[potent arrow]

I wouldn't like using plastic either

[dull garnet]

This is still the case

[potent arrow]

I admit two of my clients have cracked their headbands, but none outright broke

[dull garnet]

Except I don't own a mic

When I played mmos I was the silent guy that lurked in vc

[real edge]

[lost python]

ngl

the corsair microphone sounds great

[potent arrow]

Das what I'm saying

[lost python]

i dislike everything else around it but the mic is damn good lmao

[potent arrow]

I admit defeat in this one Corsair line lol

Look at the price

It's crazy man

[lost python]

hs55 sounds like ass tho

[potent arrow]

Like for the price, I think it's a win

[potent arrow]

It's the only 3.5mm one

Probably the same shit razer was doing a few years ago

[lost python]

msrp 99$
meanwhile germany:

[potent arrow]

Jesus Christ why

It's below MSRP rn for me

[lost python]

oh there is a wired and wireless one

wired is 79€ for the HS80

but its like soldout everywhere

[potent arrow]

How about hs65?

That's what I keep stocked

Wired

[lost python]

nope not available anywhere

except ebay

average delivery time seems to be 2 weeks at minimum lol

[potent arrow]

Whew

Wth is going on there lol

[real edge]

greece

[lost python]

the usualy regional "fuck you" we get from companies that seem to hate everybody not in china or the US

214€ lmao

[lost python]

yeah id stick to wired lol

[potent arrow]

Anyways that's why I've been saying, not sure why a snowball is considered when these are offered. I'm sure other brands have similar options too

[dull garnet]

Still want some Sony CD900ST

[lost python]

i love that most of these gaming brands finally moved away from slapping 6 tiny ass mini drivers into each earcup for "surround" though

[potent arrow]

After a million years

Also the earcups are fabric not cheap vinyl

So that's REALLY nice

[lost python]

as someone with sweaty ears, i approve
but as someone with sweaty ears i also hope they are replaceable and not forever glued into position

[potent arrow]

Replacable yeah

Also here's the photo from my clirnt

Both cracked in that area

[sly elk]

i gotta say, headphones breaking like that is an extremely common occurrence

[potent arrow]

None of my seinheisets have broken there

[real edge]

my beyers didn't break there

[potent arrow]

More at the hinge for me

[sly elk]

aye lmao my audiotechnica and my beyers never broke there either, but the pleather flaked off like a mofo

[potent arrow]

The only time thever broken tho was because I blacked out and fell out of my chair

[sly elk]

and honestly the beyer headband is sooooo simple I wouldn't really call it amazing quality lol

better material choice though

[potent arrow]

Yeah

Huh interesting

I might sell my steam dexk

with the blue switches

coming back to my browns are

Those are the switches you use in a lecture hall class you hate /s

[dull garnet]

I love blues

[sly elk]

I've always used linears (red, silent red, and silver)

I've tried a blue keyboard before and it was interesting for sure, but I'm not sure i'd ever want one lol

I have this pack of switches and the loudest one in there is.. not the blue

i think they might have been kalih speed copper?

[dull garnet]

My full kb is speed silver, they're fine but less fun

[umbral moss]

I like MX brown if I'm not making my own

although I haven't tried any of the novelty tactiles like the akko starfish or holy pandas

apparently everglide dark jades are also good?

this was my favorite

I had no idea how these worked

and I was amazed how simple it was

fuckin ingenious

[modest moss]

that's proper tech entertainment

I do enjoy those 'how it's made' shows on tv

[minor hollow]

tech connections is great because it's not trying to sell you the latest gadgets and gizmo

it's like

"yeah this was invented 40 years ago here's how it works"

[dull garnet]

i enjoy youtubers that don't just buy shit and make dumb videos

[sly elk]

i like LGR and 'this does not compute' for retro stuff. for modern stuff that guy and gn are ok I guess lol.

[wise jay]

I love me some LGR every once in a while

You know nothing about tech until you watch Big Clive

argh using screen time to ban certain apps is.. impossible really

I don't know who designed this bull shit

and why it works so much better on iOS than it does on macOS

[odd sand]

This is why I don't give my niece and nephew fancy lego kits. Their legos are in 2 giant boxes and spilled out off the table onto the floor and god knows where

Their mom doesn't make them properly clean up after themselves, sadly.
