Question

Is there something like a portable air compressor for pcs and laptop?

Cause I dunno if I should get one

Or just like... Keep buying the compressed air cans

[void dove]

smallest air compressor ive ever seen, was probably a bit smaller than a carry-on case and cost $100, so no, probably not

i do have a really small one for inflating tyres, so its not a proper compressor, but its extremely noisy, and i have no idea how much it cost

i actually use a 30 year old paint sprayer to clean out my PC, since its just a compressor but without the actual tank for air (paint comes from the attachment, soo i just dont attach it)
also its old and free, has a hose attachment, a nozzle, etc, and still works a charm, but also really noisy
my dad used it when their house was built to paint the fences 🙂

[old jetty]

I see

Good to know

Air cans work, but the problem is that I can't get off all the dust

Also it's 3-4 euro a pop

[fading canyon]

Computer being picked up from repair joint tomorrow. The ssd housing ffxiv had died, causing a cascade that killed some other components. Got everything running on a shoestring budget except the ssd. Any suggestions for where to acquire a ssd of the non m.2 variety that would house windows 10 and ffxiv with acceptable space to float?

Well, this is unfortunate. It turns out Apple's custom NVMe drives are amazingly fast - if you don't care about data integrity.

If you do, they drop down to HDD performance. Thread.

I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding, the drives are actually 500x the speed of anything ever developed because our lord and savior tim cook would never fuck up like this

[latent grotto]

The drives are actually so fast that they loop back and look like they're only running at like hdd speeds

[umbral moss]

the technology to comprehend their speed won't be invented until the year 3035

so far ahead of our time, completely incomprehensible to our underdeveloped neanderthal meat pudding

I mean...

It's an upscaler

So yes?

I mean it works...idk how well but it's not uncommon

Oh lol it's literally an ASIC based upscaler to 1440p/4k

So yeah

People buy it...

Hi, can you work through these issues and propose solutions? Totally not things affexcting our environment btw. No, you aren't getting hired either way

[somber solar]

I like this one

[sly elk]

ohhh

we actually do a code exercise that matches a thing we do often at work

where i work xD

[jaunty light]

[sly elk]

it's a piece of the "read packets off a serial port and parse/do things with them" problem that.. we do all the dang time. maybe not daily but everyone ends up doing it at least once lol

I mean sometimes there's standard ways of doing it

but most devices are a little weird somehow

so if you were using c you'd search for a sync byte, verify the data length is available, use pointers and chuck the chunk of data at another function. done.

you'd be surprised how few people think to use pointers (or in python, array slicing)

[jaunty light]

Hm I know some of these words

[sly elk]

the number one thing that kills peoples chances in the interview is when they list a bunch of cool projects, only it turns out they didn't do any software on them even though they applied for a software job

[potent arrow]

Wtf this is what my degree does

[umbral moss]

my favorite are the people who are like "I worked on this extremely complicated project" and their abstract pitch is like "yeah, you're right, that is cool"

[umbral moss]

and when you ask them to explain what the project actually was you find out they had no fucking idea what they were doing and were just, like, a janitor or something watching the competent people work

[sly elk]

yup 😦

I mean even if they seem competent and do well on the other parts of the interview, it leaves a terrible impression

[jaunty light]

Yes its me I wrote this entire project.

[umbral moss]

oh nah, you can usually tell when someone is a potato and is just coasting on being part of a complicated project

we had a phd come in and present his work to us, he had no fucking idea what it was about and what he was saying

[sly elk]

[frigid pewter]

from what I can muster, It works with a bit of tweaking

[modest moss]

theoretically you could just install windows on there and it'd run great

but don't quote me on that

[sly elk]

where's the rest of it?

[frigid pewter]

That's about it

It's meant to be taken apart and put back together over and over

[sly elk]

i strill think it's missing something 😄

it's a jet engine?

[umbral moss]

looks like a standard turbofan, yeah

looks like it doesn't have the exterior housing

[sly elk]

it kinda looks like it's also missing the front

but some of them the fan part is the same size?

I don't work on planes so I'm totally clueless 😄

specifically this one

[sly elk]

i wish this had eyes on top

-clicks- ahhh ok

oooooo

[sly elk]

maybe they looked like that on a 737-200?

they look funny xD

i wonder if anyone still flies a -200

i'm used to seeing them with the fat engines hanging in front of the wing

[frigid pewter]

The school program I'm in has a lot of engines but without housings

[sly elk]

After 40 years, in March 2008, the final 737-200 aircraft in the U.S. flying scheduled passenger service were phased out, with the last flights of Aloha Airlines.[36] The variant still sees regular service through North American charter operators such as Sierra Pacific.[

[frigid pewter]

I'll post some more since they're cool when I go in next week

[sly elk]

awesome!

are you going to learn to fix them?

that would be cool 🙂

[frigid pewter]

yeah it's an aircraft maintenance program

Airframe and Powerplant

[sly elk]

cool!

[frigid pewter]

in the starting classes but now we're getting into the hands on stuff

got about two-ish years left

[umbral moss]

as far as I know the difference is in the slip ratio between the combustion chamber and the unused flow

although I don't think I can run the inner kernel hot enough to generate the pressure differential like a combustion chamber

[frigid pewter]

how the fuck does that even happen

"Recipe for a crash: temperamental aircraft, gusty winds, tiredness of a crew, inexperience of a first officer, loss of focus, bad reaction."
-Random youtube commenter

[deep sapphire]

Those things had issues with rear weight bias because of the engine mounting so people had to land hard with them

[sly elk]

"the DeathCruiser-10 was just as prone to rollover after a wing strike like that"

[deep sapphire]

Well rather come in faster than with wing mounted engines which has no bias weight distribution

[sly elk]

hey their management was really on the 8 ball though

[jaunty light]

mcdonalds 777? my favorite

[deep sapphire]

MD did a reverse merger with Boeing and their shitty business practices ruined Boeings name

[sly elk]

hehe

'bought boeing with boeing's own money'

top notch management move

then again MD let china steal their aircraft design lol

[jaunty light]

50% heavier, 200% slower, amazing chinese plane

[sly elk]

I honestly know nothing

[deep sapphire]

That was a pretty common thing in the 70s on

[sly elk]

about any of the companies mentioned

at least the plane parts

[jaunty light]

to be fair, I don't know shit about russia or china planes, but I know a lot about ours

f35 still sucks btw, actual waste of money.

best thing it's got to its name is being quiet

[deep sapphire]

That’s the only thing that matters

[umbral moss]

scope creep

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

then when they got the proposal to accommodate their new power demands they threw a tantrum

[jaunty light]

scope creep is close, but it's a single word

scope creep is awful

[deep sapphire]

Singleword

[frigid pewter]

f35

"we want it to do EVERYTHING"

[deep sapphire]

[jaunty light]

bleh I can't remember. it's like, constant revisions to the design regardless of if it works or not and budget

[sly elk]

no no

[deep sapphire]

CyberTruck

[jaunty light]

but not continual, diff word rip

[sly elk]

1. we want it to do everything, 2. it absolutely must never fail, 3. it must be fully redundant and perfect, 4. we will impose a ridiculous amount of oversight, 5. we will micro manage it

[jaunty light]

it failed step 2 and 3 already

[sly elk]

6. you must use these really old electronics because flight heritage

[jaunty light]

3 being that it's single engine

[jaunty light]

dont get me started

[sly elk]

flight heritage requirements are cancer

we needed spacex

[frigid pewter]

F35 production not being a money siphoning scheme from Lockheed lobbyists

but we needed spacex

and a lot of spacex avionics are old as shit now too

https://youtu.be/i3RqDp7i308

[jaunty light]

So before they even produce a working stealth multirole, they have developed another B through F model that costs even more but still doesn't work but has other features

mostly because we can sell it to other suckers

[sly elk]

i dunno what to say about tesla

[umbral moss]

the F35's problem is that they went from an F-18 replacement to some weird multi-role fighter/bomber thing

and it's so fucking heavy they had to redesign the engine like 25 times

[sly elk]

aloy is bae

[jaunty light]

the funniest thing was when we gave the finnish actual unusable trash for aircraft and they were beyond pissed so they worked hella OT to fix everything and give them a 2 weeks long test range

California

[sly elk]

oh so they did build them there

that's what I thought lol

[frigid pewter]

Parts built in different places but assembled at the site

[sly elk]

yea I don't get that

I've driven past seal beach a few times and I remember it had this big ole entrance with a bus stop and stuff

but it's kinda out there

[jaunty light]

I might take a job at NG in the space park but it depends if they offer me a lot of money or not

[sly elk]

i worked at a crappy rocket startup nearby XD

just not much lol

[sly elk]

they still make satellites....

and space thingies

[jaunty light]

i'm sure it's better for contracts not DIRECTLY under the DoD, but who knows

[frigid pewter]

Boeing still has that site near LAX

[jaunty light]

NG's site is a bit under that

ok thank you, I'll use that as a benchmark

[tough idol]

Gib keyboard recommendations. Mine is finally giving out

[sly elk]

do you have a particular thing you;re interested in?

[tough idol]

Mechanical

[sly elk]

here come my questions 😄
What is your budget?
Do you like quiet keys or clicky ones?
Do you want something you can buy from amazon/bestbuy/target/walmart or don't mind waiting for something unusual from the internet?
Do you have any particular colors you're interested in?
Any particular size? Do you want a full size one? Or a smaller one?

[tough idol]

I'll give you a toughie

Gimme a mechanical that is quiet

And will last me about half a decade

Could care less about the budget of it, or how flashy it is. Keyboards don't get that bad

If you can't find me anything, I'll just settle for another Isku

[sly elk]

honestly a cheap membrane keyboard will probably outlast most mechanical keyboards lol

the tricky part with brands is the request for quiet. Unicomp has been around the longest, afaik they make their keyboards in the US and inherited all of IBM's old equipment to make them.

maybe a das keyboard? But I think those are also tactile

I personally have had really good luck with my corsairs and they do make 'cherry mx silent' keyboards

I can't remember when I bought my corsair strafe but 5 years ago sounds about right?

hmm unicomp only offers a 1 year warranty.....

das is also 1 year, but 3 if you buy it from them

[jaunty light]

I want whatever god awful contraption sarah made

the tap dancer keyboard

make everyone hate you, but not as much as you hate yourself for using it

[sly elk]

lol 😄

the loudest switch in the samples that came with my keyboard is a kalih copper

wait maybe it's the kalih bronze

if you ask me, the most obnoxious switch type is the oldschool buckling spring

not because of the loudness, but they do not make consistent sound

apparently 'Outemu Blue' switches are really loud

[jaunty light]

There's a buckling spring somewhere in the lab here

remake of the model M

actually thought about stealing it because it felt nice but it would very obviously look out of place at my desk..

[jaunty light]

its not just any power supply

GAMER power supply

[dreamy chasm]

Rgb gamer psu

waow

[strange verge]

Used but only a little dusty just needs a wipe paid £65 for it

And will do :)

[astral ridge]

Oh that’s a good deal. Congratulations

[strange verge]

Thanks 👍:)

[dreamy chasm]

Anyways, there's a ton of sub 100-150 usd psus with solid power delivery and long warranties these days

And you never need top of the line unless you're genuinely looking to overclock everything in your system

[jaunty light]

excuse me, are you trying to recommend NON GAMER PSUs to gamers???

[dreamy chasm]

pepelaugh

[jaunty light]

a non gamer psu will increase system latency! your system will not be fast enough to be an esports grade gamer!

[astral ridge]

Anyone have recommendations for UPS’s for the a higher end gaming system. Mine is not strong enough when it matters

[jaunty light]

how much money do you want to pay

the answers are no and yes

[astral ridge]

That not important, what is important is the limit to what I can do in my house.

[jaunty light]

depends on peak load and runtime

[astral ridge]

Yeah…. I redid ours at work - for our server room. I understand the basics and how it works but, there were much larger devices with power available to them that doesn’t exist in residential homes

I’ll pull up my PC and see what it would need

[jaunty light]

lol yeah ours are like, 40k and 100k ~

almost put in for lion because of how space efficient it was, but the upgrade was gonna be a stupid number, like $200k

one rack had the capacity of like 3 or 4 lead acid ones

for desktop if you need less than 1000w peak for like 5 minutes I would think anywhere from 200-400usd would serve

more than that and you are exponential, thousand dollars and up

[astral ridge]

Definitely not the one we have in the server room costs a nice car

It’s the 1000W

We’ve used cyber power at home before, but now that I look at the one more closely it’s not good enough for the PC.

[jaunty light]

it's simple, just be rich!

for our floor systems we buy whatever, but it's usually cyberpower 1500va or APC 1500va. don't really have a preference, they fail at about the same rate

guess the APC is generally more useful since all the plugs are online, but at the same time there's pros to having a trip and battery on the cyberpower ones. which I use, because i charge my phone on the usb

[astral ridge]

Well you see I work from home with the computer so it’s a business expense

[jaunty light]

Yeah if 1500va isn't good enough, that cost goes up substantially

[astral ridge]

Yeah we’ve just the cyber power - had better luck personally but you know what that is.

I just didn’t think about it and used the good model we had for our office PCs and not - the better one that can do 1000W

[jaunty light]

generally we mostly buy APC because you know, SE+APC, so I can say I like the 3000c, but they aren't cheap by any means

3000c and something else we have, diff models but same vendor

one of those fuckers I have an entire rack hooked up to over 20a and it handles it

well, except the 30a which goes to facility power, but you know..

actually I think that one is a 6000va

this monster

[wintry swan]

I have a question
So i have installed steam FF14 free trial from back in HW. My country was NOT actually supported for steam FF14, but the free trial was up in the steam store so i still download it

Now, im backing up on different pc, but when im going to download the free trial again, it doesn't exist in the store anymore.

Will my account get deleted if i changed to PC version? Or is Steam vs PC version is a thing in the past?

[deft iris]

Your account cannot be both PC and steam

If you downloaded and started the trial on steam, you must buy the game on steam.

If you don't want to use steam, you need a new account

@wintry swan

as for it not appearing in the store, I can't tell you why it's doing that. It's there for me.

[wintry swan]

It says that it was disabled because it was not in the supported region

[strange verge]

Hey guys anyone know how to set the G13 stick to act as an analogue stick and not like a Digital dpad I've changed it to stick in LGS but in game its still working as a dpad

[wintry swan]

So i guess my only hope is the steam server linking that was just announced huh

[astral ridge]

Never any issues?

We decided on a brand around 2008 (I think….) APC was our first choice but we had some problems with them - a lot of other companies did as well at the time so decided to try Cyberpower. Helped that they cost much less back then

[modest moss]

@deep sapphire @potent arrow so yeah, I called the garage doing the battery change to cancel it and get a refund because we wouldn't be able to get it there, and they were like nahhh we good, we'll send a guy to you to take care of it, they were gonna give a jump start and get the car to the garage, but instead they just brought the new battery and installed it on the drive, even popped back to the garage to get a replacement cable for one that'd corroded because the car wouldn't start after sticking in the new battery... they don't offer a mobile service at all, and didn't charge extra

[potent arrow]

That's so blessed

[modest moss]

yeah they're a proper honest bunch

[potent arrow]

They know how to get that loyalty

Same reason why I go to my mechanic, dude drove a few hours once to save my ass xD

[modest moss]

thing is they're not even a small business who need to worry, they're a branch of a big national chain too

international even

2460 branches across europe

turned out it was actually one of the dads of a kid in my son's class who came to do it

[potent arrow]

That's amazing

[modest moss]

[dull garnet]

Eww qlc

EWWWW

Also screw buying a refurbished ssd

[kindred brook]

Whats wrong with QVO drives

I'm buying for ps5

[dull garnet]

What?

PS5 needs nvme

Unless you mean for PS4 games externally

[kindred brook]

for ps4 games

I got a shit ton of ps4 games

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

external ssds are really good for ps4 games still

[dull garnet]

Yeah

[kindred brook]

right now

I got a WD

[dull garnet]

I noticed a bunch of pop in with ff7r on my PS4 pro

Might get an ssd for it

Not so bothered about PS5 rn

[kindred brook]

I actually heard

ps4 pro is modable now

I kind of want to dabble in that

but I traded in my ps4 pro

😭

[modest moss]

PS4 is still pretty great, I saw HFW screenshot comparisons and yeah PS5 looks a bit better, PS4 still looks amazing

[kindred brook]

the biggest hype for PS5

is to play games in 60 fps

ps4*

who the fuck plays 4k 30fps

I tried that shit in FF7 remake and was like no thanks

[dull garnet]

Only on 8.00

I updated the other day to 8.03

[kindred brook]

nooooooo

[dull garnet]

Not got any use for a cfw PS4 tbh

[dull garnet]

I know that Sony platforms haven't been great since the PSP

[kindred brook]

lol

[deep sapphire]

PSP didn’t even have any games

[dull garnet]

It did

JRPGs, arcade ports. First party was lackluster though sure

[modest moss]

PSP was trash

[hard drift]

Psp did vita didn’t

[modest moss]

both trash

[deep sapphire]

Neither did

[deep sapphire]

Agreed

The DS was better

[modest moss]

OG DS was solid

[deep sapphire]

3.99 a gallon of gas

MY WALLET

IT HURTS

[hard drift]

[modest moss]

is that an actual dvd rental place?

[umbral moss]

don't forget to rewind your dvds before you return them

[modest moss]

||rip||

[hard drift]

No

[dull garnet]

Truth

Discounting Pokemon I reckon DS and PSP are about the same

[late basalt]

Ask mrab about their wallet

[paper tusk]

i would say psp is a lot better in what the hardware can do for devs and user experience but sony just has to fuck up storage in the name of drm (memory stick encryption in the case of vita)

[rapid hollow]

Might need some help here, sometimes on XIV after a recently long playtime session, the game will lock up, audio will still play, and moving the mouse cursor outside of the client makes it look like the system is responsive then it locks up with no commands being accepted

[paper tusk]

might be straight up crashing but with the dialog box in background. can't say without more information

[deep sapphire]

Okay I will

[paper tusk]

would get quicklauncher and do a file check

[deep sapphire]

@hot shadow how’s your wallet

[rapid hollow]

Yeah it locks up the pc entirely, not just the game

[deep sapphire]

Sounds like a driver issue

[rapid hollow]

You see I’d agree if this didn’t happen with both gpus

Nvidia had it happening more often than not

[deep sapphire]

Radeon heh

D-Delete this

[paper tusk]

[rapid hollow]

Anyways the system is stable-ish as well because I left furmark stressing it out overclocked for like 2 hours

[deep sapphire]

Welp my power steering pump seems to be going to shit

ANOTHER THING TO FIX

[hard drift]

That’s what you get for owning a ford

[paper tusk]

would schedule checkdisk on next boot in case the storage drive is flaky or security descriptors are fuckered

[rapid hollow]

I also checked all storage drives

[rapid hollow]

So there’s nothing much I can relegate it to

[paper tusk]

since it sounds fine as long as aren't accessing storage

[rapid hollow]

Unless it’s the cpu

Because it’s a issue that happened on both manufacturers and I did deep clean the nvidia drivers

[deep sapphire]

RRRRRRRRRR

[modest moss]

skill issue

[deep sapphire]

Check event viewer

Does it only happen with ffxiv

[rapid hollow]

Event viewer also has nothing really correlating with any critical issues

[modest moss]

but nah this sort of thing is the old favourite of reinstall the game, and failing that reinstall windows

[deep sapphire]

I got the patch on btw, hardware Hank Stan forever

[rapid hollow]

It has happened only with xiv atm

[deep sapphire]

Alright then yeah try doing the file check in quick launcher

[modest moss]

wait

hardware hank is a brand

and you're not actually called hank

[rapid hollow]

Also here’s the thing

[modest moss]

my life is a lie

[rapid hollow]

In one of those 2 lock ups

[deep sapphire]

LMAO

[rapid hollow]

There was like a very small corruption grid of pixels that looked like it was being drawn

Just 2 out of like 7 times

[modest moss]

yeah use the quicklauncher and do an integrity check

https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher/releases

[rapid hollow]

It sounds like it’s a driver failure since it locks up all graphical stuff and the system but sounds still play

[modest moss]

but like you said, it's happened across both nvidia and amd

so could be a corrupt file

[rapid hollow]

I’m gonna try that to be sure because I did have some power outages due to the power grid being on a shoestring

[velvet flint]

I'm not sure what happened

[rapid hollow]

Gentle breeze I go out

[velvet flint]

I linked my phone number from my previous account to this account but suddenly

A server icon vanished

I can't rejoin it

The server invite is all the same

And I still can talk to server mates

[velvet flint]

My previous hacked account

[rapid hollow]

Tho for being a xiv only problem

I haven’t played cyberpunk as much in one sitting but I’m playing it on ultra with raytracing

And it didn’t happen

[velvet flint]

Can anyone help here?

[deep sapphire]

only with this server or all of them

[velvet flint]

No just a single server unrelated to here

[deep sapphire]

does it happen on mobile too

[velvet flint]

I'm doing this entirely on mobile

I can still access the rest of servers fine

[deep sapphire]

what about desktop, sometimes they update at irregular intervals

[velvet flint]

Desktop shows the same results

I'm scared

[deep sapphire]

you would most likely have to contact discord then

[velvet flint]

I'm worried the hacker who trashed my previous account is coming for this one next

[deep sapphire]

just make sure you have 2FA and didnt use the same password

[velvet flint]

Should I make a backup account just in case?

I've changed passwords just in case but

I can't remember if it was before or after unlinking the phone number

[deep sapphire]

they cant expose 2FA unless you get phished

[velvet flint]

I unlinked my phone number after the server icon disappeared

@deep sapphire so I'm not sure what is going on

My server friends can still talk to me

But they don't see me on the server

[deep sapphire]

like I said you'll have to contact discord for help, I dont know enough about the inner workings of discord to answer that

[velvet flint]

Or at least mutual servers

Should I make a backup account just in case?

[deep sapphire]

no, just setup 2FA

you should be fine

[velvet flint]

I set up 2FA but still got fucked over

I still can't rejoin that server

[deep sapphire]

did you get phished

did you click on something

[velvet flint]

Yes I did for my previous account

[deep sapphire]

thats why

a common phishing technique going around is someone you may or may not know will ask you to test a game

block them immediately if they ask that

even if you are friends with them

[velvet flint]

I already know that

Now that we're past that event

I'm not sure what I can do now

[deep sapphire]

contact discord

[rapid hollow]

I mean this just sounds like when you got banned from the old account it also banned your ip just for some alt protection

Get on your phone on mobile data and try joining from there with a new invite

[deep sapphire]

well I would normally agree with you but from what I understand they can see him in the server still and can ping him and what not

[rapid hollow]

“Server icon vanished “
“I can’t rejoin it”

[deep sapphire]

but is it just grayed out like its failing to load the server or is it just flat out no there

I dunno

I DO NOT KNOW

[rapid hollow]

Yea that’s a critical point lol

[velvet flint]

i've been doing this on mobile the whole time

[deep sapphire]

we have a hardware store here called Lowes and their website is so fuckin awful

it always crashes on me and I've heard others say the same

I even tried it on edge and same shit

you'd think a major company could figure out web design but guess not

[velvet flint]

@rapid hollow otherwise I wouldn't have the problem

I'm currently backing up my stuff just in case

[deep sapphire]

like I said, contact discord support they would know more about the issue but that is a decent suggestion, have them kick your account and then send another server invite

[rapid hollow]

Yeah contact support or try a vpn or something

[velvet flint]

used VPN and it worked

do I turn the vpn off now?

[rapid hollow]

Yeah

The ip ban just doesn’t let you join back but you won’t get auto banned for using a vpn, joining then turning it off

[potent arrow]

WHY AM I AAAAAAAA

[modest moss]

wut

[prime jungle]

FFXIV is not loading the CHR files for my character

the files are in my documents but FFXIV is loading the default beggeininger

[hard drift]

make sure onedrive is closed and or you check the option to always keep on this computer when selecting either documents or the final fantasy folder

[prime jungle]

thanks...I found the folders... there were duplicate files. figured out which ones had my settings and deleted the newer ones. everything is back. my hud, hotbars and macros... fuking panic attack I had just now.

[hard drift]

Lol np, it happens

[deep sapphire]

you're doing good things my son

[hard drift]

Pfft I’m not your son lol

[deep sapphire]

its okay my son

[dull garnet]

More like

Thanks for doing my work son

[hard drift]

It happens

[modest moss]

expand, does it happen when loading, playing or closing the game

does it happen every time, or occasionally

what hardware are you using

[hard drift]

Did you try ddu and reinstall drivers?

[modest moss]

can try a clean install of gpu drivers

[hard drift]

Did you also check windows store to see if it did all the directx updates since they changed that

It does it everytime for gpu driver updates/reinstalls pretty sure

Well that could also be an issue in itself

[sly elk]

man I knew this was a bad idea lol. my new speakers have a wireless sub and it randomly disconnected and I had to unplug them for a bit to get them to re-pair

why couldn't they just include a cable >>

ooo the schittr 😄

[hard drift]

You used ddu?

[rapid hollow]

Can you play games normally ?

Haven’t noticed anything like a slowdown or anything ?

Did you mess up with the factory settings of your card ?

Undervolting and such

The game doesn’t like undervolted cards

Try turning off game mode on windows

For all it can work also do a sfc /scannow

[sly elk]

ah this dude lol

Uninstall shue

[umbral moss]

corsair has the xeneon displays on sale for $599

[modest moss]

not sure what a second reinstall will do, what else did you change since?

[potent arrow]

Ahhhh

[jaunty light]

improved PLANTS

[deep sapphire]

its highly likely its some other program you have running

or installed

do you have any custom shaders, enhancers, anything at all that attaches itself to ffxiv

razer synapse, gshade/reshade pretty much any gaming software

a good trick is to launch msconfig and do a selective startup

then only launch ffxiv

if it doesnt crash, its highly likely its something that was running

[jaunty light]

but how am i supposed to know my health is low if all my RGB doesnt start flashing red to let me know??

[kindred brook]

iin a year

actually if I keep waiting

graphics prices

right?

RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT?!

[hard drift]

yes but not super high end prices

since they're going to be mcm

[kindred brook]

mcm?

[hard drift]

multi chip modules

[kindred brook]

all i want

is a 3080

is that a mcm

[hard drift]

no

mcm won't be until next gen so 4000 and 7000

[kindred brook]

WHAAAAAAAAAT

do like a 3080 X2?

[hard drift]

if nvidia is even doing mcm, only know of amd so far

[hard drift]

possibly, but of course more along the lines of 4080x2

[kindred brook]

lol

[hard drift]

but of course that means higher powerdraw

so we'll see how mcm pans out

student loans in the US are offered privately and publicly, the ones backed by the US government are basically permanent since they're treated like tax liens

so you can't file bankruptcy and avoid them, they just garnish your wages forever

variable interest rate loan

instead of a fixed duration, fixed APR loan

[modest moss]

but you have a 3070ti don't you?

[kindred brook]

Community college

university

"cheap"

[kindred brook]

YESH

I have a 6700k

[modest moss]

the difference between a 3070ti and a 3080 is fuck all

[kindred brook]

nope

[modest moss]

if you buy a 3080 I'll be fuming with you Raz

I could see you upgrading cpu/mobo/ram with your raise, but your gpu? c'mon bro

[kindred brook]

ok

no gpu

I do need a mobo/memory thouhg

I need to use my 980 pros

:x

[modest moss]

get a nice mobo/cpu/ram upgrade, and then do gpu later, year or three

(and send me the 3070ti when you do)

[kindred brook]

I'll just focus on my debts this yet; if memory drops in price then I'll bite

black friday deal maybe

yeah

[earnest rover]

I'm kind of baffled by the announcement to keep PS4 support for 7.0

[jaunty light]

black desert has so much post it's insane

i didnt play the remaster or whatever they call it, but im bettin it just slapped more post onto the game which already ran at like 5fps when you entered a town lol

never forget

ya basically walking into one of the starter ports or places ppl fished would be immediate 15-20, everywhere else was fine

[quiet steppe]

what do i do about this, im using a 2020 macbook pro

any suggestions?

[quaint spear]

😄

BootCamp?

wowzers. I have been using my new laptop for almost a year. Then I loaded up my old desktop with a HDD in it.

the laptop has a SSD but only 250GB of storage.

the desktop? 1tb of HDD.

no wonder I typically left a PC on all night and all day in the old days.

ten minutes to boot and get Win10 running!

[jaunty light]

we're spoiled! back in my day we waited 25 minutes to boot up!

[dull garnet]

Windows 10 runs like crap from a HDD of late

[dreamy chasm]

theyre probably under the assumption that everyone doesnt have their install on a dying harddrive

[dull garnet]

Meanwhile my Debian c2d laptop on a 80GB hdd boots barely slower than my first gen i5 laptop with an ssd

[jaunty light]

Tfw spinny disk = dying hardware

[dreamy chasm]

it might as well be dead

[dull garnet]

My windows 95 laptop on a 2gb hdd boots nearly as fast as my gaming pc

Lol

[jaunty light]

Hell no it aint. Not unless you fucking rich

[dull garnet]

Guess it depends how much crap you install

[dreamy chasm]

there's ways to make your install more lightweight iirc

[jaunty light]

My 10 inst is about 25 rn

Fresh 21h1

[dreamy chasm]

moreso just moving shit off of boot

[jaunty light]

Pls normal hdd prices soon

I need 10 to 20tb NAS but i aint paying 400 dollars an 8tb

Imma decom our work 1040 and steal that fucking thing at this rate

[sly elk]

yea windows 98 without crap starts pretty fast

like <30 seconds

I think my desktop boots a lot faster though

[jaunty light]

Got a blank check for hardware but even then, NVMe SAN is scary expensive

Oracle wanted 2M for a PB

[dreamy chasm]

Just move nonessentials to load in post boot

Might help a bit?

theres no denying that w10/11 isnt as lightweight as older versions, though

[jaunty light]

I think we had some 10 ltsc on spinny til like 3 yrs ago and that was rough

Like an update cycle would be 2 hours of waiting on the "preparing updates" screen

except I still get to deal with that because LTSC server updates are almost 2GB and spend close to an hour, even on NVMe

[glass wadi]

those dx11 errors really are the red ring of death for xiv

can range anywhere from restart to reinstall windows

[dull garnet]

25 seconds to 95 desktop

[dreamy chasm]

ssds arent really v expensive if all you want is a boot drive nowadays, tbh

40 bucks for a 512 gb m.2

Enough for your OS plus a few programs

[sly elk]

Mmhmm I love my nvme drives

I even use one as an external lmao

But that was more because I decided it’d be more useful than sticking 512gb on a pcie adapter card

At some point I’ll probably buy that expansion card anyway and get a 2tb >>

[dull garnet]

I have nvme for boot, sata ssd for games and a spinnan dask for dataa

[dreamy chasm]

I'm p sure grabbing an nvme and slapping it in a cheap enclosure is going to be better than most premade externals

[dull garnet]

Depends what io you're using ig

[jaunty light]

nvme maybe not, sata yeah probably

[dreamy chasm]

a midrange 1tb is 100 bucks and a usb c enclosure is around 20

seems like

[jaunty light]

I've had a bunch of nvme addressing issues but that could just be mobo/chipset quirks.. i dunno if actually true M.2 any protocol to USBC actually work

yee that

i've never tested it

[dull garnet]

My mobo has a usb-c on the back

I doubt I'd bother giving it a reach around

[dreamy chasm]

Ive only ever had issues w the initial install

[jaunty light]

you can give me a reacharound any time

[dreamy chasm]

But that just required me to install nvme drivers

[jaunty light]

genuinely, I did my 21h1 install because of that

[dull garnet]

[jaunty light]

the x570 hero would only see my 250GB drive in slot 2

if both NVMe slots were populated, neither worked

or I guess m.2 slots* with NVMe drives

[dull garnet]

More like x570 an hero

[jaunty light]

even though it works NOW

after I clean installed windows, booted that bitch with no drives attached, powered down, then attached all my sata drives and installed my old 250GB NVMe, it worked..

what I need to look into is if there's any difference with storage architecture on NVMe vs SATA

[dull garnet]

Sounds fucky and wrong

Gotta love PCs

I know on my board that two sata ports are disabled when nvme is in use

Could it be something like that?

[jaunty light]

naw, since it's configured the same way now. I don't think I have any limitations with running 2x NVMe and maximum SATA connections on x570

[dull garnet]

Ah, I would hope not. I have a lowly B450

[jaunty light]

how many lanes you get on b450?

you should have at least 16 CPU right? maybe 4 extra with budget chipset?

[dull garnet]

Wakarimasen lol

idk B450 + 5600X

What you said seems about right, running GPU at 16x and a single nvme at 4x

[jaunty light]

idr what the x570 pch offers. but I know the 5900x is supposed to be 24 by itself

at 24 no chipset it should've been able to do the GPU+2 NVMe, I was trying to boot to windows for cloning and it wouldn't recognize slot 1 M.2

[dreamy chasm]

sounds like some fuckery

i had no issues on my end

but i only have one m.2 drive

i didn't even take safety precations and just straight up cloned while the OS was running

[jaunty light]

I think magician does live clone

But yeah it was just a weird quirk

[dreamy chasm]

I should probably buy a bunch of burner usbs just for stuff like windows reinstalls and backups

[jaunty light]

I got my 10 year old crucial 16gb for that

Godawful retractable USB

[dreamy chasm]

[jaunty light]

Cant plug it in properly i shpuld shuck the enclosure

[dreamy chasm]

I unfortunately have either given away or lost all of mine

removing the enclosure would probably be for the best

[jaunty light]

I have a PNY 128 somewhere, flip style at least that eorks consistently

[dreamy chasm]

wrap it in electrical tape or smth

[jaunty light]

Planned fuckery ass looking enclosures

[dreamy chasm]

I'm just going to buy a cap-style usb if I can help it

worst case scenario is i lose the cap

unless its made out of paste and elmers glue and the usb connector somehow breaks inside my drawer

[jaunty light]

Hell at this point id prefer some sbitty SDXC or something

[dreamy chasm]

i had to install windows off of a shitty sd card just bc i had nothing else lying around

i really need to get a half decent usb drive

nature is healing

finally, gamers can purchase 1000 series GPUs
