I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure it happened on some brand of phone?

my bro was really silly and kept installing any app he heard about on fb

this led to his alarm clock having ads hahaha

[potent arrow]

China fome

[dull garnet]

Stock android is pretty nice

[sly elk]

he wanted help with his phone

I looked at it for like 2 mins and nuked it

[potent arrow]

Xiaomi n Op

Tho two notorious for ads

[deep sapphire]

Milwaukee

LMAO

[sly elk]

as a general rule, I'm not buying a phone made by a company that doesn't have a large presence in the US

also OnePlus fans

[potent arrow]

Kyanche be like my prof

[sly elk]

at least old ones

they make even the most rabid apple fanboy seem harmless

[potent arrow]

He made his own flip lol

[sly elk]

like the ones that foam in the mouth on macrumors

[deep sapphire]

I like android I just got tired of my old android phones like 5-6 years ago they were always having dumb issues so I got a 7 Plus and I loved it so I've stayed on apple

newer androids seem a lot nicer

[sly elk]

like I think if you post on reddit that you had a problem with a one+ phone

someone will dox you

[deep sapphire]

back then you couldnt get anything decent that wasnt a flagship

[potent arrow]

Enkidu

Wait

[sly elk]

I'm exaggerating heavily

[potent arrow]

Kyab

Hank uses chinaphone

[deep sapphire]

beep boop

[sly elk]

there was an indie kinda phone that I really wanted

[deep sapphire]

I dont even do anything cool with my phone I'll just hold on to this for awhile

[sly elk]

geez who made it

ah here it is

the Pro1 X

[deep sapphire]

physical keyboard 👀

[sly elk]

it looks gnarly but physical keyboards are lovely for playing emulators on

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pro1-x-smartphone-functionality-choice-control#/

i'm not sure how well these things held up, and $750 is a lot for what ti is

also the fact they still haven't shipped the fucking thing

looks like it also has a rounded edge screen 😦

[sly elk]

looks like Linus hated it 😄

[potent arrow]

no

[sly elk]

ok i like watching him unbox a phone

and drop shit everywhere

i wonder if he has early onset parkinsons

[potent arrow]

I am a scsi connector

I'm gonna have nightmares

Scsi scsi scsi

[sly elk]

"scuzzy"

one of the first times an acronym threw me off

"sequel" for SQL still grinds my gears

[potent arrow]

@sly elk https://youtu.be/bcNC--27LYU

[sly elk]

one nice aspect of having aphysical keyboard is it leaves the screen free to do whatever

oof speaking of odd linux things

framework laptop linux compatibility according to a random youtuber called "elevated systems"

looks like fedora is the only one that works 100%

that looks nais....

good thing the hood tilts all the way back, or changing the battery would be annoying

[deep sapphire]

get that DODGE shit out of my face

[sly elk]

it's a jeep

[deep sapphire]

https://www.engine-specs.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/488-magnum.jpg

[sly elk]

clearly not a doge

[deep sapphire]

thats a hemi

and by default

its a dodge

[sly elk]

fine. here.

[deep sapphire]

looks unreliable

[sly elk]

is it me or does that engine seem off to the left

[deep sapphire]

LS swapped a jeep

the mopar bois might be mad

[sly elk]

i'll just stick to my v6...

[deep sapphire]

just sell it and buy an FJ

I saw an FJ in the toyota dealership

[sly elk]

the only mod I have in mind for it, is to eventually replace the stupid dual battery setup with a proper dual battery setup

nah

[deep sapphire]

sucks they stopped making the FJ

for once a toyota vehicle isnt ugly

[sly elk]

i still didn't like it

but the bronco was designed by the same person I think

I mean

[deep sapphire]

the FJ got legendary fuel economy

and by legendary I mean really bad

because the windshield was basically flat

[sly elk]

could be worse

if GM ran FCA

the Wrangler would be a 4 door crossover

[deep sapphire]

https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/amv-prod-cad-assets/images/08q2/267369/2008-toyota-fj-cruiser-photo-200286-s-original.jpg?fill=2:1&resize=1200:*

hate me if you want but the blazer looks pretty cool

cause they just borrowed the style from the camaro

but as a blazer

it makes me mad

[sly elk]

ierno

[deep sapphire]

but lets be real

the K5 became the Tahoe

[sly elk]

I think the FJ looks like a cross between a hummer and a minivan, with the front grille of an old Toyota cruiser thingy

[deep sapphire]

the S10 Blazer was never a real blazer

nor is this one

[sly elk]

then again these look like lifted mail jeeps

[deep sapphire]

beep beep

yeah they all stole the design from Jeep lol

Jeep styling is an icon and nobody can take that away

[deep sapphire]

my step dad has a YJ

[sly elk]

yea that's going to be my vice someday i guess

i like jeeps

[deep sapphire]

the YJ looks cool but as an actual off roader its pretty dog shit

leafs on the front and back

[sly elk]

not because they're the best off roader (they obviously aren't) or the most powerful (LOL) or anything like that

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

yea yea I know

nothing matches a hilux

[deep sapphire]

you can tell AMC was broke at that point amirite

[sly elk]

it's ok

I don't even go offroading

i'm just a jackass

[deep sapphire]

its okay

you fit right in

but I cant talk

im buying a TRD Pro

I dont give a shit out off roading

I just like the color

I think the last time I went off roading was in my friend's K5 blazer

thats a vehicle made for it, already rusted out frame full of dents

who gives a fuck what happens

a newer jeep or something

I'd be too scared

[sly elk]

yea

i bought the rubicon because i thought it looked cooler 😄

though i almost went with a sahara again

haha there are people rich enough to buy a brand new rubicon and trash it on a trail

[deep sapphire]

isnt rubicon the top trim

[sly elk]

there's a few of those on the jeep forum

but there's also lots of like

60 year olds who bought their first new car ever, a base model sport with manual windows

[deep sapphire]

as someone that has crank windows

im never going manual windows again

[sly elk]

hehe

[deep sapphire]

you need to do anything with the passenger side forget about it

so fuckin annoying lol

[sly elk]

I'm proud of those dudes for finally getting the vehicle of their dreams

[deep sapphire]

ikr

[sly elk]

might not agree with them on anything else though

[deep sapphire]

and it wasnt a corvette

[sly elk]

i think i'd drive a corvette

they're weird cars

the biggest obstacle to corvette ownership is GM's dealership network

i actually wonder why they make the MSRP so low if they don't intend to produce according to demand

[deep sapphire]

Corvette has always been a volume sports car

thats why its so affordable relative to its performance

I just dont think they can produce enough like anything else

but it looks bad on the brand to have huge mark ups

specially when they get blasted online for it

I kinda hope dealers learn from that

im fine with 1-2000 mark up

but 5000+ fuck off

[sly elk]

yea reading this, it seems that may be more uncommon than I thought https://www.reddit.com/r/Corvette/comments/rpzs5q/how_do_i_get_a_2021_stingray_at_msrp/

like it sounds like if you're willing to wait a year, you can get one for msrp

man somebody's blowing up firecrackers outside

[deep sapphire]

oh my god I wanna beat the shit out of him so bad

who asks that question and then goes and says that

[sly elk]

OH YEA

that was messed up, I agree

who the heck scalps a car

while I don't think it's wrong to take advantage of market pricing, I do think it's messed up to buy something with the intention of scalping it >>

[deep sapphire]

yeah while asking people to see if they can get it for msrp

fuckin dickhead lol

[sly elk]

why'd this dude just stop in the middle of the street lol

they didn't even park lol

ahh they left

[deep sapphire]

drunk

[sly elk]

LOL that's a good point

probably

cuz when they stopped it kinda jerked like they slammed the brake

[sly elk]

random thought: I have never seen the suburban in that parking lot ever move

it's been there since the day we moved here haha

[boreal surge]

Actually that's a very nice candlestand

[sly elk]

hehe i ordered strimer plus cables >>

didn't think it was worth it before but they look really sweet in videos lol

(for those looking, beach audio has the triple 8 pin for $58)

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/rgb-rgb-intensifies-intensifies-intense-corsair-rgb-gif-13433637

I like the 24p but i cant get over how it just ends and sleeved cables pop out at the end on the pcie ones

looks better on a horizon gpu than it does vertical

[sly elk]

Hahaha true

I wouldn’t do it on a vertical gpu

AFAIK the rgb part is more like a plastic cover you can take off and put on any braided cable set

It’s not really the cables themselves

I don’t feel terrible because the 8 pin extensions I was considering were going to cost half as much so whatever

[potent arrow]

Imagine having a glass sidepanel

[sly elk]

It’s like a fish tank but a computer lives inside

Yes I am not even going to try and justify it lol

[potent arrow]

Lmfao

Different strokes for different folkes ig

I never see a point in showing off the interior

Ain't nobody gonna see it

[sly elk]

I see it

But I’ll concede that nobody else gives a shit

[potent arrow]

I take solace in knowing it's clean inside

[sly elk]

and that’s ok

[potent arrow]

And that's all I care

[dull garnet]

if i didn't have a glass side panel you wouldn't be able to see all the dust inside

[sly elk]

No I was speaking of my own computer

Hehehee

They do get dusty

[potent arrow]

I mean I would hope I spend more time looking at my monitor and using the pc instead of gawking at the pc

But oh god yeah I am very guilty of needing to dust the thing

[dull garnet]

#carpet-gang

[potent arrow]

If I move it, a dust wakes up from hell

[sly elk]

Oh I don’t gawk at my computer all the time lol

I have nice monitors and enjoy using it

I guess it’s like cars

Some people really care about the appearance of their car a lot

Others don’t

I would argue even people that don’t care do tend to care more than they think they do

[potent arrow]

I only really care if it's obtrusive because desk space lol

[sly elk]

I have mine on a separate piece of furniture but it does impose things

Like having longer cables to make that work

[potent arrow]

I have mine on my desk because my room is literally 70% desk 20% bed LMFAO

My dream is to dump the pc into a file cabinet or something where I don't see it and have a switch under the desk to turn it on

[sly elk]

Sounds like a cozy room

Yea if I were you I’d have a mini itx rig

Sometimes I get annoyed ar the size of my tower and want something small

I wonder how small the o11 mini actually is

[potent arrow]

Mines sub 9L remember?

Small

I'm probably gonna get a monitor arm eventually

And wall mount the speakers

[sly elk]

That’s a big table for a small room

[potent arrow]

I rather have a big fat desk then a big bed

lol

Its a literal conference table

that I stole from my dad's workplace

[sly elk]

Is that an Lg 34?

[potent arrow]

(i got wrote up for it woops)

yeah it was a defective lg 34

[sly elk]

Fun

[potent arrow]

wouldnt turn on so I took it for free and fixed it

[sly elk]

What was it

[potent arrow]

defective psu

[sly elk]

That giant ass power brick

[potent arrow]

was not getting the intended dc in to the mainboard

the brick was fine but the mainboard wasnt getting anything

[sly elk]

Is it an older one or a newer one

[potent arrow]

2019 I think

[sly elk]

My old monitor is a 34um94 and ifs so slow it annoys me

[jaunty light]

Join us!

[sly elk]

Like the menu is very slow

[potent arrow]

mines 70hz

[sly elk]

And it takes a long time to wake from sleep

[potent arrow]

oh no mines pretty fast when it comes to the onboard menu stuff

[sly elk]

Yeah the one you have comes with a horse shoe shaped stand

[jaunty light]

Buy an alienware monitor with a fancy rgb stand and then dont use the stand

[sly elk]

I have that one on my desk at work

It’s a nicer stand

The old one had a clear stand

[jaunty light]

I like my viewsonic and AW menu its bitchin

[sly elk]

That doesn’t height adjust

[jaunty light]

Joystick controls

[sly elk]

Yea the aw menu is nice

Haven’t used a modern viewsonix

[dull garnet]

that's a pretty smart way to elevate your speakers lol

[sly elk]

Haha ageeed

[potent arrow]

I have alot of milkcrates

: P

[dull garnet]

mine just... aren't

[potent arrow]

remember I built a pc in one right

[sly elk]

They look like ass but

It is extremely fictional

Functional

[potent arrow]

I love my milkcrates

[jaunty light]

Fictional indeed

Milk isnt real

[potent arrow]

[sly elk]

It’s an industrial look for sure

Very practical

(I nose bleed alot)

it looks like a crime scene

[dull garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/nosebleed-anime-fountain-exaggeration-lewd-gif-5146985

[sly elk]

Why would that affect things on

[dull garnet]

i really want to replace the beeg amp with some small chinese one

[potent arrow]

Im probally gonna eat my words and go full schiit stack

[dull garnet]

this one matches my dac amp

[sly elk]

Shit stack

[potent arrow]

I still love how my stand is an ikea shelf

with 3d printed legs

[sly elk]

I have Kleenex

[potent arrow]

that I hammered self taping screws into

[sly elk]

Who doesn’t

I’d b e concerned ufnuoy@don’t have Kleenex

[dull garnet]

also based on how drunk you were last night, should you even be driving yet?

[glossy timber]

[deep sapphire]

someone else had the exact same issue as you

go into device manager and under the xbox controller driver tab disable the top result

[slow bobcat]

that one i havent tried ill try that

[deep sapphire]

its some weird name

[slow bobcat]

ive tried deleting my nvidia wireless controller manager and geforce and google answers suggested by it just dc's like every 30 seconds

[deep sapphire]

I cant recall what it is exactly let me check

Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator

I am getting the fatal error when playing FFXIV. No matter what I have tried, I have changed the screenmode in the cfg file to 2 and even turned off direct x 11 support. Neither of the steps did the trick.

And though I am playing in full screen mode. The same error pops up.

[hard drift]

fatal direct x error?

[deep sapphire]

I’m out to breakfast but when I get back home I’ll help you out if someone doesn’t answer it here

[boreal lantern]

Thanks for the heads up.

[boreal lantern]

Sighs!!!

And yes @hard drift

Though that there are reports that Mac users that wants to upgrade to Mac OS Monterrey may have to wait a while longer until that OS can support Mac OS Monterrey. If that's the case, then the same is also true for anyone with Windows 10 that wants to upgrade to Windows 11.

[hard drift]

nah this game runs fine on w11 from my experience aside from windows 11 being weird lol

[boreal lantern]

But my laptop has Direct X 12. Could it be that's what causing it?

[hard drift]

no, the game doesn't run on dx12 your laptop just supports dx12

[boreal lantern]

That I am aware of that. Plus @deep sapphire did say that he was out, he mention that he would help me once he gets back home.

Ah. There he is.

[deep sapphire]

Hey hi

Open dxdiag for me and save the report and send it to me in PM

in the last few days you've done that like 10 times even if valid

[deep sapphire]

Lmao it helps!

you could do directx tests

with the spinning cube

good times

Hi guys, can someone help me with this topic? Im willing to go for Wifi adapter for gaming. But what is the best one? Should i look for more download speed?

[deep sapphire]

look for one that supports dual band and 802.11 AC

802.11 AC is currently the fastest option up to 1.2 gbps

though you'll likely only get 3-600 mbps but thats plenty fast (this is assuming you have something like a gigabit connection)

[jaunty spoke]

Wifi snelheid 5 GHz
2402 Mbit/s

is this one good

snelheid : speed

[deep sapphire]

yeah that sounds good, surprised it goes that fast though I thought AC only supported 1400 mbps lol

[jaunty spoke]

Asus PCE-AX3000 wifi 6 PCIe-kaart

ok thanks bro

[deep sapphire]

let me look it up

[jaunty spoke]

ok thanks

[deep sapphire]

ohhh right MIMO

yeah that'll be really good

[jaunty spoke]

Thanks brother

[deep sapphire]

np 🙂

[jaunty spoke]

@deep sapphire do i need a motherboard with wifi to install this mimo?

my motherboard is this one ROG STRIX Z390-H GAMING

[deep sapphire]

nah, it'll work in any PCI-E slot

just make sure you have one free but you should if all you have is a graphics card installed

[jaunty spoke]

hmmm

[deep sapphire]

I'll find a pic

so you know what im saying

[jaunty spoke]

ok bro

[deep sapphire]

https://cdn2.channelpro.co.uk/sites/channelpro/files/2016/04/pcix16.png

it'll look like that but different color depending on your mobo

the wifi adapter will be a lot smaller but it will still work

smaller expansion cards are usually called "1x" devices but they will still work in an existing long slot like that

I can look at your board it might even have a dedicated 1x slot

https://c1.neweggimages.com/ProductImageCompressAll1280/13-119-158-V01.jpg

yeah you see that small one

2nd from the top

you can just plug it in that one

[deep sapphire]

discoooord

wow the bot blocked it

oh well

[dreamy chasm]

oof

[modest moss]

it was worth the click

man, I'm going to so much effort just to have my own name on my crafting/gathering gear

[dreamy chasm]

I feel like intel's doing their selves dirty by not releasing lower end chipsets and 200-250 dollar cpus sooner

Anyone who isn't filfty rich is currently just buying ryzen right now, I'm almost sure

Unless you're in that segment of the market where the 11400f-h510 combo is in your price range

[modest moss]

they probably have too much stock of the 11400 etc

[sly elk]

?>

the microcenter $329 12700k is a pretty good deal.

with ryzen i'd want a 5900x >>

and those are like $600 no?

aint it like, the 5800x is a better deal but only uses one chiplet so it runs hotter

odd topic but I was surprised how little lag there was when I paired my airpods with my switch >>

I was expecting much worse

[jaunty light]

I think you can get a 5900x on sale for 449 sometimes

599 seems high i got mine for 549

[sly elk]

449 vs 329 is a harder sell haha

I'd want the ryzen since they run cooler :]

[jaunty light]

is the 12700k better on avg with ddr4 or 5

or both

[sly elk]

i dunno

I get the impression with all of 12th gen intel ddr5 is not worth the $$

you just get it if you really want it ... or you bought a ddr5 board without realizing until it was too late

[jaunty light]

i really like the 12900k perf with new scheduler but im not going win11 yet

[modest moss]

you are a nerd gamer with high end kit, Cyan is talking about actual mid range

[jaunty light]

mid range doesnt exist anymore

[modest moss]

exactly the point Cyan was making, no?

[jaunty light]

to be fair i ahve not read anything more than like the last 6 because gamer

[dreamy chasm]

You have older cpus to look at for midrange atm

[modest moss]

you either go high end or you get a dogshit 3600g

[dreamy chasm]

Also, how much does the 12700k cost outside of mc

I don't take those into acct when evaluating things, unless I'm helping someone out with a build and they're next to one

[modest moss]

12700k is £385 GBP on Amazon

12600k is £288

[dreamy chasm]

Not bad on the 12600

[potent arrow]

Just buy

[dreamy chasm]

12600k would be a good deal if z690 wasn't such an expensive platform to get into.

But like

If you're looking to get cheaper, Intel literally doesn't have any options in their 12th gen lower end atm

[deep sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/anger-management-jack-nicholson-yes-duh-nods-gif-5222702

Buy Intel

Yes

[sly elk]

ofc midrange exists

and there are boards <$200

but mid end got way more expensive

[deep sapphire]

Supposedly the cheaper boards are made like shit

So I would be careful

[dreamy chasm]

This is part of my point

[hard drift]

Cheaper anything by intel is shit

[sly elk]

question

made like shit == you won't be able to OC

[dreamy chasm]

You're shelling out 200-250 bucks for a half decent board

[sly elk]

or made like shit == it'll crap out in 3 years

[jaunty light]

both

[sly elk]

that's awful

[dreamy chasm]

Yeah

[sly elk]

it's already a big beef of mine that a lot of 'gamer' components are not made to last

[dreamy chasm]

They've had the same issue with their last gen

[sly elk]

like those dead 3 year old GPU posts on reddit

[dreamy chasm]

Getting h510 or a b560 with shit vrms will throttle your performance if you unlock boost

Even on an 11400f

[sly elk]

if i bought a gpu and it died in 3 years I'd name and shame and shit all over their brand everywhere

[dreamy chasm]

There isn't a huge disparity between Intel and amd between titles either

If you're gaming

And this is what, an extra 250 bucks for cpu+mb over if you don't have a microcenter next to you, plus scalper tax if you decide to get ddr5?

It's just objectively awful value rn

Intel needs to release a midrange chip and let board partners release half decent $100-150 ddr4 boards if they want the people to pay attention to their new generation

They're outclassed in everything outside of the high end otherwise

[hard drift]

Sad but true

[deep sapphire]

That’s a nice point you have

I like nice points

Back in middle school me and my friends would have pencil sword fights and I got stabbed in my hand

I still have some of the lead in my hand lol

Just be like me and use 20 year old hardware because who gives a fuck amirite

[dreamy chasm]

Core 2 quad enjoyers

i7 920 chads rise up

[dreamy chasm]

Does it ever hurt

[dreamy chasm]

[deep sapphire]

Oh the black out game? Hahaha I remember that

[dreamy chasm]

Man, I kinda miss the g3258 glory days

[deep sapphire]

Nah I don’t even feel it and you can barely see it

Classic American muscle baby

[dreamy chasm]

Buy an H81 board and a g3258 for 100 bucks, overclock it to 4.2 and slap a decent gpu on it

[deep sapphire]

I don’t wanna leave my truck it’s cold out

Trade me your weather you live in Asia right

[dreamy chasm]

Yeah

[deep sapphire]

Yeah trade me your weather

[dreamy chasm]

We have good cold weather in exchange for summers being piss hot

Sure

[deep sapphire]

It’s like -14c

[dreamy chasm]

It's cheaper in the phils, probably

[deep sapphire]

I’m not gonna retire in Asia because I’m a boring American that lives in a boring fly over state

Aren’t you in Vancouver

That’s basically Asia at this point

I dated a girl like 10 years ago from Vancouver island

Lmao I don’t mean anything bad about that

Sorry if it came off that way

[dreamy chasm]

Number of stages =/= quality

I remember back when asrock had a bunch of 12+4 vrm boards that were worse than we'll designed 4+2 back in the Haswell days

[deep sapphire]

Victoria was a beautiful city

[sly elk]

taichi!

[deep sapphire]

Really nice downtown

[dreamy chasm]

I'll visit the US one day

[sly elk]

who doesn' tlike having gears all over their board

[dreamy chasm]

I'm in Asia rn and I hate it here

[deep sapphire]

Alright well if you end up here for some reason we can go drink and talk about the weather

[sly elk]

tbh i never cared for the taichi designs xD

but they are very popular

[deep sapphire]

[dreamy chasm]

Sure thing

[deep sapphire]

Real documentary of Minnesota

“Ooooh it’s gonna be cold tomorrow”

[dreamy chasm]

I buy closed cases and shove my case somewhere I don't see it, I'm not v concerned with looks

[deep sapphire]

Oh yeah I can’t imagine

It’s brutal here but Winnipeg

That’s a new level of cold

Can’t even use your hand brakes cause your hands are frozen

[sly elk]

are you?

[deep sapphire]

The only thing we had was 3M’s thinsulate

That only worked so good

[sly elk]

I bet i could find a case you'd refuse 😄

[dreamy chasm]

I'd refuse it unless you paid for it

[dreamy chasm]

I'm going to hurl

[deep sapphire]

LMAO

that’s the most 2003 shit I’ve ever seen

[deep sapphire]

I bet the person who built that had one of those button downs with the blue flames on it

[sly elk]

oh wow here's a weird one

[deep sapphire]

Is that your dad

Oh lmao

Nice hat

I dig it

Lmao

[sly elk]

these are nasty

i thought he was a sheriff

[deep sapphire]

Stopping over at the A&W in the Chevy cavalier after school eh

[sly elk]

I believe people who say they don't care about how their computer looks, actually do care

they care a lot

[deep sapphire]

Dodge makes some dog shit but I’ll be honest those 90s caravans I still see them all the time

Quite impressive really

[sly elk]

ooo an inwin

[deep sapphire]

Most Chrysler products get eaten by so much rust it looks like a thanksgiving buffet of bite marks

[dreamy chasm]

I care to the extent that I'd buy the 50 dollar case that doesn't look like ass, over the 50 dollar case that does

[deep sapphire]

Hahaha

That hair

[dreamy chasm]

But I don't pay extra for looks

[sly elk]

@deep sapphire I like in california where cars usually don't rust

[deep sapphire]

Did you have the black baggy pants too

[sly elk]

but you know what?

[dreamy chasm]

Nor do I care enough to coordinate

Is my point

[sly elk]

crappy paint comes off

[deep sapphire]

Fuck my truck has so much rust

[sly elk]

particularly honda paint

[modest moss]

I knew you were classy af

[dreamy chasm]

"hi, I'd like to not have a case."

[deep sapphire]

All 4 wheel wells are shot

Cab corners are shot

Frame only has surface rust amazingly

[sly elk]

honda has the worst paint ever

[deep sapphire]

They 100 percent do

[dreamy chasm]

Opaque panel fractal case type beat

[sly elk]

that's cool hair

[deep sapphire]

Toyota probably has the best paint

[sly elk]

yea that's why i get annoyed about the fractal design types

that brag about not caring about aesthetics

[modest moss]

plain black case pls, no glass

[sly elk]

they don't care MY ASS

[deep sapphire]

My 2000 Camry rarely saw a car wash and yet the paint looked flawless

[dreamy chasm]

Bro, you're being pedantic here

I already clarified what I meant.

[sly elk]

XD

-gives a cookie-

sorry

[dreamy chasm]

Smh

It's fine

[sly elk]

fractal cases have cool chrome feet

[dreamy chasm]

I just like their no bullshit design philosophy

I would've bought an r4 if the s340 wasn't on sale at the time I built my Haswell rig

I have an itx rig now though

[dreamy chasm]

Which... has rgb ram, but only bc it was cheaper than a similar black kit

[sly elk]

SHARKY!

[dreamy chasm]

Throwback to when I had to troubleshoot issues

[sly elk]

juicy

sharky!

[dreamy chasm]

Seems expensive to reproduce

I don't blame them

[sly elk]

so compact

[dreamy chasm]

"I heard you like multiple failure points"

It's pretty small, ye

I need it to be small enough to put in carry on luggage

[sly elk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz_9wMkImto

[dreamy chasm]

Just in case I have to move

[sly elk]

I wonder how it doesn't overheat

yea your case is the best xD

[dreamy chasm]

It will overheat

That's the secret

[sly elk]

I do envy those mini computer builds

plus, it's not like it's any louder, right?

[dreamy chasm]

They're a pain to work with, but they're nice once it's all in there

[sly elk]

since the gpu and cpu just vent right out the side

[dreamy chasm]

It's as silent as I want it to be

I am running an underspecced cooler but, it's fine on stock clocks

It ends up being whisper quiet at load for most of the things I'm doing

[dreamy chasm]

Mhm

Phanteks fan outtakes and a noctua cpu cooler

High quality 850s can supply most of the 3000 series just fine

[sly elk]

ye

[dreamy chasm]

If they're designed well enough to handle the high draw

Granted, you shouldn't be shoving a 3080 in a cramped itx case with shit thermals

But that's a given

https://youtu.be/Bdohv96uGLw

3 8pin-outs are enough

I'm pretty sure

[sly elk]

yea I'm all too close to buying one of those

and trying to shoehorn my build into it

[dreamy chasm]

Doesn't the mini take two sff psus

Let me check

nvm, I'm misremembering

It's jerry rig level jank, but you have to short two pins out in the 24 pin cable

[deep sapphire]

Magic

[dreamy chasm]

People have powered 3080+150w cpu with a 600w power supply before

850 would be plenty given that it's a unit with a good design

Probably not for sli, though

Well, yeah

You might be able to get by with 6, but I guess you might as well populate all the slots if you're spending that much

[sly elk]

yepp

[boreal lantern]

So. I have played FFXIV with Razer Cortex running freeing up extra RAM and resources has worked. It disables any programs that are running when the game is running. Then when you have finished with the game, the programs and resources would be re-enabled automatically.

To learn more of how Razer Cortex works. https://www.razer.com/cortex

Yes

[warm osprey]

so I'm getting this error constantly and it happens at random times, i got a new video card (3080ti) with stock settings and no OC, up to date drivers, my windows is up to date and I already tried re installing the game but it still happens

[deep sapphire]

go to dxdiag, save the report and send it to me in PM pls

[boreal lantern]

It does work with 4k gaming as well.

[dreamy chasm]

What gpu did you have prior

And did you run a DDU before installing your new drivers?

[deep sapphire]

I got him squared away in a PM

another case of the horrible EW sound system implementation

I really need to write some kupobot documentation for common steps

would be way easier to help people

[hard drift]

Tech mentor making it harder for themselves

[deep sapphire]

well I balance it out by not having to fix issues on my PC

[hard drift]

Lies

You fix issues just don’t tell us

[deep sapphire]

and instead use that time to work on my truck

[hard drift]

Damn ford driver

[deep sapphire]

😭

n-no she's just old

[hard drift]

Lies

It’s ford

[deep sapphire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI4wU7YxQY8

[hard drift]

Truth sucks

[deep sapphire]

because of one movie

Cobra

are they really? jesus

[hard drift]

Yeah

[deep sapphire]

yeah thats true

she lived a good life

not many can say they were loved all throughout their life

man this scene gives me chills, just shows a ragged man struggling to even job, out of shape

one of us

this movie is too good

jog**

lmao

social media was a disaster

but at the same time

a blessing

what do you do

I mean we wouldnt be talking with eachother rn right

I still dont entirely follow what meta is, is that just an umbrella company now

like alphabet

well I just meant, social interaction over the internet

and to be frank its always been a shit hole, its just it wasnt as wildly adopted like it is now

which I attribute to facebook

and the iPhone

the iPhone gave normies the internet, Facebook gave people with shitty opinions a platform to talk

myspace was a hot mess though and largely was kept to younger groups

asianfriendfinder...

smh

how does that count

isnt that a dating app

LMAO

what is friendfinder

[dreamy chasm]

Now we have r*ddit

[deep sapphire]

reddi*t

[dreamy chasm]

r*dd*t

[deep sapphire]

omg are you guys the boston bomber!? doxxed

[dreamy chasm]

That bit was stupid

[deep sapphire]

I avoid r/popular like the plague

its so obvious its just bots

the dumbest subs get so much attention it boggles my mind

ADULT ENTERTAINMENT

ONLINE DATING

mmmhmmm

[dreamy chasm]

I just browse porn and cat pictures

Not at the same time

[deep sapphire]

slay queen slay

I also browse porn (pictures of trucks) and look at ducks

[hard drift]

what a fuckin chad

oh I saw a honda

LMAO

[dreamy chasm]

Outlet sparks when I plug in my charger

Should I be concerned

[deep sapphire]

I mean what kinda sparks, just from initial contact

?

[dreamy chasm]

Ye

[deep sapphire]

nah ur fine

[dreamy chasm]

Then it's chill

[deep sapphire]

that happens

[dreamy chasm]

Sweet, generally haven't had this happen much before so I was wondering

[deep sapphire]

if you smell burning or something then I would remove it but if it just sparked slightly in the plug holes then its fine

my charger does that too sometimes

granted north american power outlets are some of the dumbest designed power outlets in history but yeah

[dreamy chasm]

I'm on 240v and it's still happens from time to time, fwiw

Pretty sure we have the same plug as us too

[deep sapphire]

oh really?

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

this?

[dreamy chasm]

Yuup

[deep sapphire]

oh no shit lmao I just thought this was only in america

[dreamy chasm]

Our outlets don't have the gnd prong though

Yeah, nah

That said, we were pretty heavily influenced by the USA culturally at some point, so I'm not surprised it turned out this way

[deep sapphire]

🤠

[dreamy chasm]

[deep sapphire]

I think the UK has the best designed plug

but they have one of the newest adoptions

as they did it after WWII

[dreamy chasm]

Makes sense

"hey, how can we learn from the fuckups?"

[deep sapphire]

the plugs have built in covers in the holes to prevent accidental shocks and the prongs on the connects have plastic on the inner portion of it so if the plug is slightly out of the socket and you touch it, you wont get zapped

pretty smart

[dreamy chasm]

Definitely

[deep sapphire]

https://media.istockphoto.com/vectors/plug-and-socket-illustration-vector-id121086665

[dreamy chasm]

I'm pretty sure I've been shocked by the nema plug at least 5 times in my life

It's uh, never fun

Would love to have the UK plug over here

But, alas

[deep sapphire]

yeah lmao they are shit, the grounded ones usually stay in the socket fine but the non grounded 2 prong design is just stupid

[dreamy chasm]

For sure

[deep sapphire]

and I still have zero idea why some of them have a hole, I dont think anyones ever explained to me what purpose that serves

[dreamy chasm]

I've uh, had to very slightly bend prongs on appliances to keep them inside the socket before

[deep sapphire]

I use to think that was some lock mechanism but im pretty sure thats bullshit

[deep sapphire]

wow you really are like americans

I almost wanna cry im so proud

[dreamy chasm]

According to page 17 of ANSI/NEMA WD 6-2002, "The hole in flat blade is optional, and it is intended for manufacturing purposes only. However if used it must be located as per dimensions shown above."

According to one of those ask sites

So, it's basically useless

[deep sapphire]

just to save costs on material? haha

[dreamy chasm]

Yuup

Gotta save 5c on those costs

[deep sapphire]

thats the spirit, everything must be cheap

safety? not my problem

[dreamy chasm]

God

[deep sapphire]

[dreamy chasm]

[deep sapphire]

I wonder what other countries use that

[dreamy chasm]

A concerning amount

Is the answer

https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plug-voltage-by-country/

[modest moss]

Unsurprisingly, I have never been electrocuted by a UK plug

I think our supply is juicier too

240v

[deep sapphire]

we have 240v as well but its not standardized

I think though your outlet still produces the same output regardless if you are using 120 or 240

[modest moss]

I thought you were mostly 110v

[deep sapphire]

110/120

we all just say 120

[sly elk]

kinda

[modest moss]

UK electricity STRONK

[sly elk]

efficiency is different at 120 vs 240

you'll see that with PSU tests, as well

so the ultimate wattage pulled may vary a little

[modest moss]

STRONK

[deep sapphire]

yeah I know 240 is better

[sly elk]

UK outlets have that cute little switch

and the fuse in the plug too, right?

[deep sapphire]

yeah

[modest moss]

yeah the stop dying switch and the not burn the house down fuse

cute af

[deep sapphire]

we have something called GFIC I believe or something like that

which prevents that

[modest moss]

not all outlets have switches though

[deep sapphire]

but are only installed near sources of water

[sly elk]

what?!

[modest moss]

but all plugs are fused

[sly elk]

I thought all outlets had the switch

[dreamy chasm]

Cost cutting on life saving features, fuck yeah.

Murica

[sly elk]

yea GFCI ground fault circuit interrupter - but those only are on some outlets

usually in the kitchen and bathrooms

[deep sapphire]

yeah

[dreamy chasm]

Outlets where I am don't even have a gnd prong

[deep sapphire]

you could technically install them everywhere if you really wanted but no real point

[dreamy chasm]

We do have high humidity but like, blegh

[modest moss]

you have outlets in the bathroom?

[sly elk]

yea most of the outlets in my house have no ground

[deep sapphire]

but it prevents you from pulling a bathtub

[sly elk]

in fact

all of the bedroom outlets only have 2 prongs

[deep sapphire]

why wouldnt you have outlets in your bathroom

[modest moss]

so you don't die

[deep sapphire]

how do you use hair dryers and things like that

thats what GFCI does

[modest moss]

we only have super weak ones for like shavers

[deep sapphire]

it prevents you from bathtubing yourself

[dreamy chasm]

Gonna run a really long extension cord so I can continue tub shenanigans

[deep sapphire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcqzsMzM8y8

I just clicked this video I have no idea if it sucks thanks google

[dreamy chasm]

It's deprecated and unnecessary now

[deep sapphire]

is it to put a lock in the hole

"no more xbox timmy"

[modest moss]

chastity plugs

[deep sapphire]

[dreamy chasm]

Nema chastity

[deep sapphire]

so basically if the current doesnt come back through the negative terminal it cuts off the power

like if you dropped a razer or hairdryer in the bath

[dreamy chasm]

Or a toaster

[deep sapphire]

brb bathtubing myself

[sly elk]

hehe

the shaver outlet

[deep sapphire]

I had no idea the UK didnt have outlets in the bathroom

so how do people with long hair dry it

they just go outside of the bathroom or run a cord into it?

why yes I love smelling like shit

you know I read that but at the same time, having greasy hair is gross to me

[modest moss]

they would either towel dry their hair or wrap it in a towel and go to the bedroom usually yeah

[deep sapphire]

my friend tried that for awhile she said it worked out alright for her

[sly elk]

lol

so in theory

[deep sapphire]

the not shampooing thing not the towel thing

[sly elk]

if your hair gets greasy it's because you wash it too much

[deep sapphire]

we all use hair dryers here

[sly elk]

in theory

[deep sapphire]

makes it way faster

[sly elk]

I don't use a hair dryer

and my hair is past shoulder length lol

[deep sapphire]

yeah but hygiene standards have evolved considerably

[late basalt]

No we dont

[sly elk]

yes, like steve from GN

[deep sapphire]

okay you guys dont but everyone I know including me when I was a hippy 15 years ago did

[late basalt]

I keep my hair short enough i dont need to use a hairdryer or towel

[deep sapphire]

smh dumbass I didnt say short haired people

okay that was rude sorry

dipnod

there

I dont think thats a word

but im going with it

[dreamy chasm]

And some makeup

[modest moss]

I'd hit it

Got a sister?

[dreamy chasm]

LMAO

[sly elk]

oh that's funny

[modest moss]

yes I'm aware it's you, my point stands

[dreamy chasm]

You just need makeup and a wig

[deep sapphire]

and a hair dryer

[modest moss]

buckle up, I'm going in

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

so now we can get catfished by faceapp pics too huh

technology is amazing

[deep sapphire]

https://media.tractorsupply.com/is/image/TractorSupplyCompany/1313325?$456$ who needs a hair dryer just use an air compressor

[sly elk]

haha

there are barber shops here that use those

[deep sapphire]

based

[sly elk]

I hate those places

tbh this is part of why my hair is long

[deep sapphire]

I would hate that, cold air

[hard drift]

My dad saw that and instantly identified it… i hate you

[deep sapphire]

"oh yeah I have one of those in my garage"

[sly elk]

the worst thing to me

[hard drift]

Nah we don’t have a garage

[sly elk]

is getting my hair cut short with hair clippers

those machines are the devil

[deep sapphire]

mood

I need to take the trash out brb

where's that AMD processor

[sly elk]

I find it funny saying that, because I just gave my brother a haircut with clippers an hour ago. But he likes those kinda haircuts.

[hard drift]

Use the air compressor to launch it

[sly elk]

@deep sapphire it blew up

[modest moss]

Ice gonna be making deepfake movies of his fem alt

[sly elk]

[dreamy chasm]

I need to get my split ends trimmed
