[dreamy chasm]

also

hm

should i bother trying to get a 3.0 drive

[jaunty light]

usb3? prolly ye

shit I probably paid like 70 bucks for the 128gb usb3 I have, now they're like 10-20

[dreamy chasm]

I just need a couple of 16 gig drives

this for 6 bucks... not bad

I love how I get 90% of the results filtered out if I apply the "original guarantee" filter on this site

[jaunty light]

[dreamy chasm]

the next cheapest option is a 16 gig drive from hp that costs twice as much

[jaunty light]

just buy it

[dreamy chasm]

Hhhh

[dreamy chasm]

@rapid hollow btw, have you had any issues with xiv and the 6600xt you have ever since you got it?

im curious

[hardy mauve]

Here's the thing you need to watch out for on "cheap" flash drives: Their legitimacy. The cheap ones you find on those sketchy sites (Wish, etc) that look too good to be true, usually are. I've seen cases where 512GB+ drives were just 128GB or less ones hacked to look bigger. The truth finally comes out when you try to actually use the full size of the drive and experience corruption/file loss.

There are utilities on the web that let you test the capacity of flash drives.

[dreamy chasm]

im only looking at sandisk shit atm

avoiding anything high capacity + cheap for obvious reasons

[hardy mauve]

Sandisk is legit but just beware of the clones

[dreamy chasm]

will do

[hardy mauve]

Same with cheap external HDDs

[dreamy chasm]

there is a guarantee on this with a refund if I get something shoddy

[hardy mauve]

Decent

[dreamy chasm]

yeah

[hardy mauve]

Just hate to see anyone get burnt trying to save a buck or two.

[dreamy chasm]

its the main reason why im considering it for the most part

yeaah

[potent arrow]

No

Bad

[dreamy chasm]

i appreciate the concern

?

[hardy mauve]

I've been in the IT industry for ages now

[dreamy chasm]

i just need a flash drive sarah

[potent arrow]

I have a few of those kingstons

[dreamy chasm]

for windows

[hardy mauve]

I've pretty much seen it all

[dreamy chasm]

oh

[hardy mauve]

Are you installing Windows with it?

[dreamy chasm]

Not exactly installing

[potent arrow]

Also you don't want anything bigger then 8gb for windows installs

[hardy mauve]

8GB is plenty for any OS install tbh

[dreamy chasm]

Moreso just "shoving a windows iso into it and forgetting about it until i need to reimage"

i cant find anything 3.0 that isnt 16 gigs

[hardy mauve]

I wouldn't do that unless you're creating a custom image

Especially with an OS. Always get the newest ISO to avoid the headache of having to update it right after

[dreamy chasm]

i see

makes sense

[hardy mauve]

Unless you need an older version for something

[dreamy chasm]

well, i still need a flash drive just in case

[hardy mauve]

I keep many on hand for OS installs, etc

[dreamy chasm]

I did my initial install with an sd card that's plugged into a shoddy adapter and I regret it

[potent arrow]

[hardy mauve]

Yeck yeah I avoid that route

[potent arrow]

Find a couple SanDisk cruze

[hardy mauve]

Having a flash drive handy also helps me in the event I gotta reinstall pfSense on my firewall

[dreamy chasm]

it was my only option at the time bc i didnt have the foresight to buy a usb drive along with everythign else

are the sandisk ultras any good

oh wait nvm

32 gigs

[hardy mauve]

They are actually

[dreamy chasm]

oh?

[hardy mauve]

IIRC the Ultras are 3.0

[dreamy chasm]

ye

[hardy mauve]

I have a 16GB ultra on hand

[potent arrow]

32 + gigs uses fatex32 and that does like windows install thingies

[hardy mauve]

Honestly, If you're going to use it for an OS install, go with the 16

[potent arrow]

16gb could work

I just prefer 8 cuz cheaper here

[hardy mauve]

Cause at that point, you can also include some extra software installs (Browser, etc)

[dreamy chasm]

fair

[hardy mauve]

VERY handy if doing multiple machines in one go

[potent arrow]

I just use ninite

[hardy mauve]

No need to go out to the web and download stuff

[hardy mauve]

I've heard of that, but never used it much if at all

[potent arrow]

https://ninite.com/

I prefer it for client set ups zzz

[hardy mauve]

That works well as long as you're not limited on bandwidth or data capped

[potent arrow]

U live in the fucking sticks if you are datacapped for <20mb

[hardy mauve]

Or are stuck on Xfinity and capped at 1.2TB a month

<20mb isn't bad tbh lol

[potent arrow]

<20mb is still relatively nothing

[dreamy chasm]

man

[hardy mauve]

I misread that. Still morning here

[potent arrow]

I'm literally in bed with no glasses on listening to the screams of the damn

[dreamy chasm]

its funny how if I turn on the original guarantee filter on products on this site, 80% of all the usb drive options go away

[hardy mauve]

Gotta love that

[potent arrow]

What is original guarantee

Brain is struggling to parse that

[hardy mauve]

Probably manufacturer's guarantee

aka a warranty

[potent arrow]

You don't neeeeed warranty on a USB cyannnnn

[dreamy chasm]

p much just this, plus whatever warranties the store/seller has

its not really any added cost sarah

I just want to reduce my chance of getting shitdrives

[hardy mauve]

I'd say the best thing to do is check a local store.

[potent arrow]

Unless ur ordering from AliExpress just pick a SanDisk and call it a day

Won't be getting something shit..usually

[dreamy chasm]

ye

[dreamy chasm]

I might whenever I'm able to

seems legit

[hardy mauve]

Multi region? wtf

[dreamy chasm]

lmao

[hardy mauve]

Since when are flash drives region specific

[dreamy chasm]

i dont understand what that bit is about

[potent arrow]

Or do what I did, beat the crap out of an eldritch horror with a 2001 Toshiba satellite while crossing the abyss to get a random USB drive

[dreamy chasm]

but if the drive works

[dreamy chasm]

[hardy mauve]

I have a late-90s IBM thinkpad you can wield.

Hinges are toast but I think it still boots. I had TinyXP on it last time I used it

[dreamy chasm]

neat

i can still remember the last time i used xp

was a good 10 or so years ago on a c2d laptop that overheats to all hell because my family couldnt afford better

[hardy mauve]

I still have the old Dell laptop that I used in college back in the mid-2000s

Grandfather used it up until his passing in 2019 mostly for solitaire and chess

[dreamy chasm]

[hardy mauve]

Only runs XP, but still works to this day. Battery's been replaced at least once

Part I liked about it was the PC card slot. Gave me a good way to use my old 3G aircard with it

[dreamy chasm]

man

i havent seen those in forever

[hardy mauve]

I have mine still

Granted it'll no longer be usable in the next 3 days

But man back then, I had mobile internet before it was cool

[dreamy chasm]

3g has to die someday I guess

[hardy mauve]

Was AT&T 3G lol

[dreamy chasm]

I had to go through a painful sim replacement process a few months ago just bc they were killing 3g connectivity here soon

The internet speeds are nice at least

[hardy mauve]

I haven't used 3G in about 10 years

[dreamy chasm]

I was on it until recently

Mostly bc I havent found a reason to upgrade for the most part?

[hardy mauve]

If it works lol

[dreamy chasm]

Yeah

I just needed the sim for texting and the occasional internet browse

[hardy mauve]

Good if you use a flip phone

[dreamy chasm]

funny story, i havent used one in 10 ears

LOL

[hardy mauve]

lol xD

Same with me and physical cellular aircards

Not with the advent of actual mobile hotspot

[dreamy chasm]

Yeaah

Aircards still arent exactly dead here though

since some carriers like to lock the plans w better value behind sims that only work on those aircards

... Last I checked, anyway.

[strange verge]

Someone asked me her about the G13 I've only used it for a day but after getting my binds set up I love it takes up less space on my desk so I can have my hands closer together for better ergonomics and having my 4 fingers always on the keys and not needed for movement it was strange at first as I've been using WASD and hot bars on the G600 for years but I'm slowly getting used it :) so far I'm liking it :)

Keys could be better tho wish they were mechanical and not membrane as they're very mushy but other than that it's a great :) I wouldn't pay £100 for it tho not worth it imo

[dreamy chasm]

this is why i just have a tkl

[hardy mauve]

Haven't seen one here in the US since 2011.

[strange verge]

This is even smaller than tkl aha 😃

[dreamy chasm]

why do people buy these

@hardy mauve do u have any idea?

[potent arrow]

Work

Provisioning to workers

That adapter is because most work laptops are actually 2 in 1s with only 1 USB c TB connector

[hardy mauve]

Bulk data storage, or for use in an office/industrial setting

Sorry, working on my e-bike before I ride it to the parade route tonight

[dreamy chasm]

Oh, no worries

I see

Makes sense.

[sly elk]

?

[sly elk]

why do people buy them in a large quantity? or with the adapter? or why do they buy 32gb flash drives?

I think flash drives are obnoxiously slow for provisioning new computers?

if i were doing that as a job i'd get a usb3.1 or 3.2 SSD and do it that way

though, hard to say on the cost tradeoff

like having 1 really fast ssd vs 20 of those cheap ones, the 20 cheap ones would win because you could do 20 computers at the same time

[hard drift]

😔 the amazon page i ordered from for my light extension lied to me now i need a 7 pin male to male connector and i can't find one

[sly elk]

aw

[hard drift]

there's a shit ton of 4-6 pin ones but no 7

[sly elk]

7 pin isn't a ws2812 is it?

[hard drift]

uhhhh

[sly elk]

sorry

[hard drift]

no idea

[sly elk]

entered the wrong number xD

[hard drift]

still means nothing to me lol

[sly elk]

what kinda LED strip is it and what were you going to use it with?

[hard drift]

c by ge light strip

[dreamy chasm]

It's honestly probably due to cost

[sly elk]

I can't find any pinout of those GE LED strips >>

[hard drift]

yeah it's awful

[sly elk]

or a good enough picture to find out what the 7 leads are for

[hard drift]

ah i can take one

[sly elk]

are the joints between the segments labeled?

it looks like they might be?

[sly elk]

but probably not lol

oh wow they are

good

C B G W R V+
OH that's a weird layout

[hard drift]

yeah

[sly elk]

it has 5 LED modules

so that's why it has so many pins lol

[hard drift]

lol

but it looks nice 🙃

[sly elk]

i'm not sure what kinda rgb led that is exactly

i don't think the rgb one is a ws2812 either though

I think they're just rgb 5050s

because the r/g/b pins lol

i wonder what the unlabeled pin is for

[rapid hollow]

Ground ?

[sly elk]

you can get a 5050 RGB LED controller or adapter but it won't have the "C" wire, you could probably just tie that to the "W" wire and then whenever you want white light it'd light all 4 of the white lights up

ah that's a good point lol 😄 probably

[rapid hollow]

I just have a rgb strip on my desk when I need to read or see things

Or want mood lighting

[hard drift]

sadly my room doesn't have light lol, apartment is expensive AF but they didn't put lights in the rooms really, so i use a light strip for my light

[rapid hollow]

Wtf

[hard drift]

tell me about it lol

[dreamy chasm]

Boutta slap rgb strips onto my gamer chair uwuwuwu

[dreamy chasm]

That said, wtf

??

No ceiling lights?

[modest moss]

go to fucking ikea and buy lights you fool

[dreamy chasm]

Buy some cheap led bulbs or smth lol

[latent grotto]

Buy rgb fans

Use the light from your pc as a lamp

[modest moss]

I swear, for a zoomer, Bidori is such a fucking millenial

[hard drift]

only the kitchen/dining room in terms of what is really used, hallways/closet somewhat have them but they suck

[hard drift]

lmfao what

[modest moss]

[hard drift]

[dull garnet]

i like sitting in the dark too

[hard drift]

i don't like sitting in the dark...

[dull garnet]

who needs more than monitor glow

oh

[hard drift]

[dull garnet]

i do

[hard drift]

this didn't explain anything

[rapid hollow]

[hard drift]

my room is mostly storage for my parents lol

[modest moss]

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/barlast-floor-lamp-with-led-bulb-black-white-10437807/

[hard drift]

there isn't an ikea nearby and i don't have room for that without me potentially tripping on it lol

[modest moss]

#technology-discussion message

[hard drift]

that doesn't mean anything

[sly elk]

it looks like a $10 lamp, that's for sure.

[modest moss]

splash out and get this then

[hard drift]

where am i putting it

[modest moss]

up your arse for all I care

[hard drift]

😔

[modest moss]

buy some fucking wall lights then

I swear, gonna report you to Hank

[hard drift]

the paint sucks...

i tried using wall lights and the paint chipped away and they fell

[modest moss]

what

[hard drift]

there's paint holes on the walls now

[modest moss]

use a drill and some screws

[hard drift]

trying to minimize the holes i put in the wall since there's already cracks in the walls 😭

[modest moss]

...

[hard drift]

That’s not oven some of the worst ones

[sly elk]

it's like my house XD

[hard drift]

The people maintaining this place literally suck lol, we try and get them to fix stuff and they break it further

[sly elk]

definitely like my house

[hard drift]

Lol

[sly elk]

the landlord is the cheapest landlord in existence

after the latest drama with the furnace

I'm convinced he installed it himself

[modest moss]

maybe stop buying mad expensive computer hardware and put that cash towards buying your own place

[sly elk]

I remember when I first moved in, he proudly told me about how he fixed the (gas) oven himself

when I walked past it later I realized it was leaking gas

[hard drift]

Houses here are literally like 2m

[sly elk]

gas company came out and had to replace the valve because he broke it lol

[modest moss]

move

[sly elk]

oh I am preparing to move

[hard drift]

Dads job plus i cannot afford to so we can’t lol

[modest moss]

just clamp some lights to your desk and/or bed frame then

FIND A SOLUTION BIDOOFI

[hard drift]

Lol

That’s why i did light strips on my bed frame

[modest moss]

doesn't sound very solved

CYAN KILL HIM

[hard drift]

[deep sapphire]

[hardy mauve]

You may want to have your foundation checked. This is a major sign of issues.

[hard drift]

I’m at the top floor… the apartment people have been told

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

Not my job, it’s an apartment smh

[hardy mauve]

Ick. Hopefully they take action soon.

[modest moss]

kinda your problem if that shit falls down with you in it

[deep sapphire]

Nah he rents

Property manager is responsible

[hard drift]

Yup lol

[deep sapphire]

And if they don’t fix it you rat them to the state

And they get in big trouble

[hardy mauve]

Kinda like what happened in Miami with the condo building that collapsed

[deep sapphire]

https://youtu.be/iNQvIV1Kxgs

[hard drift]

[deep sapphire]

Original take by bidori

[hard drift]

I’m leaving smh

[modest moss]

not about responsibility, more about consequences and us not wanting him to die innit

like if you rented a truck and they gave you a ford, would you continue to drive it?

[hard drift]

Lmao hank does

[modest moss]

or you rented a computer and they put in AMD parts, would you game on it?

[hard drift]

[deep sapphire]

Unfortunately it’s still up to the property manager to address it but bidori needs to inform them asap

Renting a computer with AMD parts ha

Gross

Makes me wanna PUKE

[hard drift]

we have, they've fixed them as they've shown up

[modest moss]

right, he's gotta (well his parents) have to bug them

[hard drift]

nah, i bug them usually

because the fuckers are incompetent

[modest moss]

cracks often suggest subsidence and fixing the cracks don't fix the underlying issue

[hard drift]

like who tf installs a light backwards so down is on and up is off

[modest moss]

that's what Lily meant

[deep sapphire]

Always listen to cat girls

Very important

[hard drift]

they'd tell you to jump and you'd listen smh

This speech is hilarious

[modest moss]

does he still have the tv show where he investigates conspiracies like the JFK shooting?

[deep sapphire]

Haha I don’t think so

“I shot looters during the new orleans flooding” literally said that in his book

[modest moss]

I could never tell what Jesse Ventura's politics were, never really tried, but he's shouty and entertaining

[deep sapphire]

He’s an independent he doesn’t sway with either side he just believes what he thinks is right

Badass dude

[modest moss]

just as long as he's not an -ist or -phobe on the dl

[stark hedge]

Yaaay finished both builds in a week.

[deep sapphire]

That’s a nice case

@deep sapphire mom told me ford = found on road dead lmao

[sly elk]

I do this with battery powered string lights.

[sly elk]

except for the taurus i rented once

that car was sweet

for 2013*

[kindred brook]

battery powered string lights EH

HMMMMMMMMM

[sly elk]

admittedly my anecdotal experience is not a huge sample or possibly even relevant anymore

my dad had fords when I was a kid and they were always having problems

friend of mine at work has a mustang, the engine on it broke after like 3 years

[hardy mauve]

Yeah. Stripped USB cable and a 100 ohm resistor

[sly elk]

i forget what exactly happened

but something failed bad enough the dealer had to replace the engine under warranty

tbh that's about it. Aside from the many crown vic taxis I've been in haha

never saw a crown vic that didn't have a flashing check engine light

ofc!

[hardy mauve]

Good ol P71

[sly elk]

I think by the time they became taxis they were like zombies lol

but yea I live in california

nobody here really drives fords unless it's a truck

or it's some kinda public agency that hasn't switched to priuses

lol

man

[hardy mauve]

Just get a Chrysler lol

[sly elk]

how do people drive with their windows that dark

especially at night

[hardy mauve]

That can't be legal

Def illegal in FL

[sly elk]

in my experience, window tint laws are completely arbitrary

I think they're mostly there to harass people driving old cars

[hardy mauve]

Can't tint the windshield

[sly elk]

but I also think having windows tinted like that is incredibly unsafe haha

the funny shit part about that

is that every now and then when I see one of these park somewhere

the owner steps out and like, they have an artificial tan or whatever

so it's not like they have an exposure to UV rays problem

and really I'm thinking of the times

where I've gone on a trip with my sunglasses on and forgot to carry my regular glasses with me

driving at night with sunglasses sucks

lol someone in the comments on that window tint thread: "Oh ok, Jag owner didn't want people able to ID him after he stole half their shit.
"

ahh finally got far enough down where people are like

"it's for my privacy, why do you care?" kinda comments

smh people who think they're kim kardashian and think everyone's out to get them

putting limo tint on your car windows is going to attract police attention, not lower it. XD

Id get my windows as tinted as possible if I could legally. Why would I want the street garbage looking at me while I'm driving?

sounds so american lol

[jaunty light]

Thats why i got that 5%

[rapid hollow]

“Street garbage” yet drives jaguar

The ford of “luxury” cars

[dreamy chasm]

sd cards sure are cheap these days

i remember 64 gigs being a lot more expensive

now its just

[dull garnet]

micro sd wise i wouldn't buy anything that isn't sandisk

[sly elk]

i don't think it was the jaguar owner xD someone else defending limo tint

[rapid hollow]

I have tints in my car but it’s because fuck driving on a heavy sun day wish it blasting

I don’t have it on the front window tho

[sly elk]

admittedly bright sunny days suck for driving xD

[rapid hollow]

It’s only on the amarok for now but I’ll put it on the Sentra as well

Question about discord overlay for FFXIV. I have been try different things for the last three days to get Discord to detect or even allow me to "add it" FFXIV. It currently only recognizes the launcher itself but not the game's exe. Has anyone run into this issue? I have tried all the basic stuff like running as admin and doing fresh installs of both already.

[latent grotto]

did you try adding the game while its open

[rigid flame]

Yes…

It doesn’t detect the game or list it in the Add It list.

It’s almost like something is blocking that but not the launcher.

[hard drift]

try removing the launcher after you launch the game

see if that changes anything

[rigid flame]

Thanks I’ll give that a shot when I jump on in a bit and report back if it worked or not.

[rigid flame]

Unfortunately this didn't work.

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-680m-rdna-igpu-outperforms-geforce-mx450-discrete-graphics

[dreamy chasm]

Love to see it

If they release these APUs in laptops for a good price they'll be disruptive, specially in lower cost laptops

Shame that we probably will never see an rdna APU on Am4, though

[hard drift]

they already are releasing them soon

[dreamy chasm]

The laptop skus?

[hard drift]

yeah

those are the ones with that igpu atleast

[dreamy chasm]

6600u seems compelling

[hard drift]

yeah, i wonder if it'll still hold up faster than the mx450

[dreamy chasm]

Imagine if they sold something with this igpu inside of a cheap desktop processor

[hard drift]

ah wait the benchmarks had the 6600h it's worse but not terrible

so the 6600u will be worse than that

in gaming it's pretty good

[hard drift]

soon ™️

[modest moss]

are they going to make any drivers to go with these or nah

[hard drift]

pfft they already do for igpus and they're atleast better than intels

like leaps and bounds better

soon ™️

[dreamy chasm]

Nice

The igpu drivers are just about as good as the drivers on their desktop dgpus iirc

[hard drift]

yeah

[dreamy chasm]

Being able to compete with the mx450's p good for an igpu

That level of performance is the bare minimum I'd recommend people shoot for anyway

[hard drift]

yeah, can't wait till they're out

[dreamy chasm]

Same

[hard drift]

probably going to get my brother one for a graduation gift

if they're out in time

[modern iris]

The age of Nvidia is over.

[hard drift]

nah, the real competition is soon to begin

the age of the consumer is now

[modest moss]

we've never heard that before

[deep sapphire]

When they have 95 percent market share I doubt that

[hard drift]

It’ll go down from there for sure

[deep sapphire]

Hahahahahaha

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah probably

[potent arrow]

[dreamy chasm]

[potent arrow]

No

[deep sapphire]

[modest moss]

do you voice anime princesses?

do you think Hank and AM have jerked off to your anime princess voicework?

[deep sapphire]

wtf

[modest moss]

I'm not kink shaming, it's cool with me that you and AM are into hentai catgirl princesses

[deep sapphire]

yeah but that comment was kinda weird lol

[dreamy chasm]

comment's kinda sussy

[modest moss]

I feel like that comment was pretty standard for this channel, but eh if it bothered anyone, my bad

[latent grotto]

I think the issue stems from that English isn't a tonal language

And so it can feel like there's a lack of emotion

[late basalt]

Nah, imo it’s more the fact that English takes like a quarter of the words/syllables to say the same thing

So sometimes dialogue is kinda disjointed

God forbid the fucking idioms

[hard drift]

Wtf happened in here

[hardy mauve]

?

[umbral moss]

both old english and the germanic influences on modern english have no tonal requirements

just add words until you achieve understanding 👌

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-13th-gen-core-raptor-lake-s-desktop-processors-rumored-to-launch-in-late-q3-2022 neat 😮

lets see if it competes/beats am5 processors when they come out

[hard drift]

not to mention raptorlake is the same socket as alderlake

[deep sapphire]

Isn’t that what people wanted

[hard drift]

yes but we don't know restrictions

[deep sapphire]

[hard drift]

i could see intel saying "no ddr4 lga1700 will be compatible"

or just them backtracking and saying "due to limitations old boards won't be compatible"

[hard drift]

Also i think people want something like amd did, pretty much a 5 year lifespan for a socket

[deep sapphire]

Personally I never really understood that though cause when are you really upgrading your processor that frequently

Specially now days

[hard drift]

i mean there are some serious gains to be had from going from 1700x to say a 5800x

or even looking at the newest one assuming it's even faster than a 5800x by a decent amount, that's a huge gain

okay now i am done with tomestones, brb time to setup new monitor stand

[deep sapphire]

That’s because zen 1 was just flat out slow in single threading

Going from zen 2 to zen 3 saw less meaningful gains

[hard drift]

yeah but still overall, even going from 2700x to say a 5800x3d might mean serious gains

[potent arrow]

https://youtu.be/xHsxIkjQCuo
These all look terrible

[deep sapphire]

Nothin like a marker to fix that problem right

[hard drift]

new monitor stand is weird idk if i like it

[jaunty light]

does it have rgb

[hard drift]

no, but it does have 2 usb ports lol

[jaunty light]

🤔

[kindred brook]

Why is it alot faster to charge a battery to 50%

Vs 100%

[deep sapphire]

thermal expansion

if you were to rapid charge past a certain cut off it could overheat the battery and cause it to basically blow up

[round flax]

Hello, I'm using a dualshock 4 for FF14, however sometimes the game will not accept any inputs from the d-pad, face buttons and analog sticks

it will accept inputs from my mouse, keyboard, Dual shock 4 touchpad and I've ruled out it being lag

happens around every 10-15 minutes, for up to 4 seconds

[modest moss]

have you tried it both wired and unwired?

[round flax]

yes

[modest moss]

don't suppose you have a spare DS4?

[vestal crane]

Does this happen with other games?

[round flax]

sadly no, but I'm sure the controller is fine, it's only ff14 where this happens

my DS4 application looks like this right now

[vestal crane]

Oh

[modest moss]

you could try launching XIV as a non-steam game and using the steam controller drivers

[vestal crane]

Thats why

You don't need to use DS4Windows

[round flax]

oh

[vestal crane]

FFXIV has built in support for DS4

DS4Windows/Steam Controller support interferes with FFXIV's built in support

[modest moss]

back in SB I had to use steam to make rumble work on my DS4, other than that yeah it was fine without

only on my laptop though, np on desktop

that's why I will suggest steam support as a potential fix, hadn't guessed they'd be using DS4W

[vestal crane]

Tbh with Steam being what it is, I'd suggest just uninstalling DS4Windows entirely

Anything it can do, Steam does better

[round flax]

alright, then if I want to use my DS4 for ff14, do I just plug it in and calibrate the setting from the settings in game?

[vestal crane]

Yeah

[round flax]

alright thank you so much!

[modest moss]

probably won't even need to calibrate

[round flax]

ok bad news, it stll does that .-.

[modest moss]

try it with Steam

[round flax]

so I use steam big picture?

[modest moss]

yeah you'll have to poke around and find the DS4 profile in steam, it's been ages since I needed it

[round flax]

used steam, still does it

[modest moss]

allegedly this is a fix;

"Bring up Device Manager. Scroll down to Software Devices. Select the device called, Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator. Right-Click this device, and select Disable."

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/gx5t4m/any_of_my_controllers_ps4_and_xbox_one_freezes/

[modest moss]

no? you can just re-enable it?

they did a format because it didn't fix it

unless this is something I wasn't here for

[round flax]

already did that didn't work sadly

[modest moss]

your next options are reinstall FFXIV and then reinstall windows probably

[deep sapphire]

I wanna say someone else in here had the same exact problem

like a month or 2 ago

did he ever figure it out, all we could conclude it was that driver that was causing it

[modest moss]

I want to say they either reinstalled game or windows, but I can't be sure

[deep sapphire]

gotcha

ok, so I never knew how annoying is to see the title bar in windows if you wanna play an game in window……now how the fuck do I move an progam/window OFF THE TOP SCREEN! it move it back down like it’s something no one should do! BUT I WANNA DO IT!

the only internet search I get is the issue people have with already off the top of the screen title bar, not how to get the title bar off the top of the screen……I know windows thinks all people have made mistakes and lost half of the progams/window to the top, but I wanna do that and I can’t

[dull garnet]

What? Do you have two screens?

[dreamy chasm]

What

[modern iris]

How poggers would it be if Denuvo released an operating system?

[modest moss]

it would be pointless

AMD driver moment

[hard drift]

Lol

[lost python]

are they all active running instances though or is it just windows bugging out again?

[latent grotto]

Windows kinda bugging out

But its from amd drivers crashing and reopening

Happens with mine too

[potent arrow]

[hard drift]

They close on hover

Mine does it but it doesn’t crash anything so it doesn’t bother me

[potent arrow]

Then that's a windows bug

It happens alot

Idk why but it does

[modest moss]

"But its from amd drivers crashing and reopening"

sounds like it's more AMD than Windows

[potent arrow]

It's not, It's know where windows shows multiple popout system bar icons

Happens to many different programs, iirc it's due to program instance handling

[modest moss]

only happens to me when shit crashes

and AMD crashes and crashes by the look of it

[hard drift]

Lol

[potent arrow]

I feel like I'll need to physically nuke my phone of all covid germs when I'm over this disease

the mystery of the BBQ lid

[sly elk]

part of why SSDs are so much faster than HDDs is because the data can be split on multiple nand banks and read across those banks simultaneously, kinda like a HDD RAID

[dull garnet]

remember sshds

what a load of shit they were

[deep sapphire]

I own one

I agree

[sly elk]

lol

it's just a hdd with a bigger cache?

[dull garnet]

it is supposed to cache your most used files to the ssd portion

[sly elk]

I always hated those

especially apple's version 😄

[dull garnet]

except it ended up being slower than a decent hdd iirc

[sly elk]

"Fusion Drive"

[dull garnet]

for data not on that ssd anyway

aka 'ewaste accelerator'

Hmm even that somehow got knocked off for a sec

Rogers

I have to diagnose the modem

[green aspen]

Back online, i had to factory reset modem, for some odd reason it 'failed'

[dreamy chasm]

Concern

[potent arrow]

rogers ™️

is it the white rectangle modem?

[green aspen]

Yeah the gigabit one

[potent arrow]

hahhhaha

I KNEW IT

https://tenor.com/view/golfing-deadstream-fail-whoops-ouch-gif-16669955

[green aspen]

Rogers has this reputation for being shoddy when it comes to stability over a lengthy period of time, maybe the modem overheated

[potent arrow]

That modem

is LEGENDARY

for how often it overheats or self resets

or just flat out stops working

[green aspen]

Yeah, it's like you have to open it and attach a heatsink to it lol

or thermal pads

[potent arrow]

Or the better option is ask rogers for the modem only option

[dreamy chasm]

why do people put shit that runs hot into modems that dont get any airflow

god

[potent arrow]

then get a seperate ap/router to go with it

[green aspen]

My modem sits in the basement on top of a cool surface of a freaking freezer

[potent arrow]

doesnt help when its designed like shit

[hard drift]

because ignorant people will pay for it 😔

[potent arrow]

telecomonication stuff is "high powered" its up to the manufacturers to design around those processors

[green aspen]

Because ISP in canada locks things behind a paywall

[potent arrow]

Im with rogers and I got a modem only option

and have an erx with a few aps

[green aspen]

Is it a 1Gbps unlimited plan?

[potent arrow]

had enough of that bullshit

Nah

[green aspen]

Those ones usually does not permit custom modems

[potent arrow]

really?

[dreamy chasm]

ik

[potent arrow]

well nto custom modem

[dreamy chasm]

like

[potent arrow]

custom router

[dreamy chasm]

all you gotta do is put a tiny fan into it

[green aspen]

That's how ISP makes money, making you buy their modems for their best plans

[potent arrow]

call them and see if you can

[dreamy chasm]

a tiny 80mm fan

[potent arrow]

modem I agree, but not router/ap

[green aspen]

well 'gateways'

which has modem/router functions

I bridged my modem into the router before and it worked fine, but somehow still overheated lol

even when the router is doing all the work

[potent arrow]

bleghhhh

I hate our telecoms lmfaooo

[green aspen]

There's a reason why they are called 'incumbants'

[potent arrow]

we live in a society

[green aspen]

Fun fact is, Rogers as a company is in a corporate spat with it's own board lol

[potent arrow]

lol

[green aspen]

Bell as a service company is slightly better but still bad, it does not have stability issue because well, it doesn't simply run on copper, but phone lines.

Copper cables are really really old tech

[potent arrow]

I mean it works, and by the books it works fine

from my education its completely fine

its the fucking datacenters

[hardy mauve]

Eh, no different than Comcrap or CenturyStink

[green aspen]

Cable is fast but they communicate one way very rapidly.

[potent arrow]

with 1990s switch eequipment

[green aspen]

DSL or VDSL and such, basically communicates both ways simutanously.

[potent arrow]

Like most of rogers infra is very very dated

a couple of my classmates who worked there as a telecoms eng coop student showed me some really old garbage

Im not sure about bell tho

[green aspen]

Bell is a little higher standards but they are just as bratty with their influence and power

Simplyput, phone lines or cable lines, there's no alternatives and they both don't want you building fiber

That's why starlink would be nice, but even Musk's company can become shoddy with time and power

like his 'brain interface tech' which supposedly made them 'euthanize' their experimental monkeys

[potent arrow]

In my opinion until latency improves with satelittes will be more of a fat push for our telecoms to evolve

[green aspen]

Yeah, I don't think its a good idea to surgically implant a interface into the brain

the body's immune system wouldn't take to it nicely and your body will basically self-destruct at a cellular level lol

Starlink is actually very fast

with very low latency comparable to a little higher than broadband but much lower than satellite

So if you get 50ms on cable, then it's about 75-100ms on Starlink.

Remember that even on broadband you gotta jump hoops between servers to get to a destination

Starlink might 'bypass' that and you just jump from your satellite, to their server, to the destination.

Technically, you can bypass every surface level blockades using starlink since it's like a VPN network of satellites?

Anyways, such technology is nice but expensive as an investment and with the economy and such today, is made harder to pull off.
