15

amateur hour

I have 185 tabs open

if I load them all into memory firefox just turns into one of those 1000lb walmart creatures that needs two scooters to get around

[hard drift]

....

[sullen maple]

actually, it's like 10-15 taps on browser and crypto app that kinda consume lots of ram and other small apps

[hard drift]

[modest moss]

you mean you're mining?

[sullen maple]

no, just a platform on windows

to check manage crypto only

[modest moss]

shouldn't really hang with 16gb ram based on that usage

[hard drift]

....

if it's not doing anything but checking why is it consuming a lot?

[sullen maple]

lots of other taps of different charts maybe xD

it's like that when not gaming

[modest moss]

88 fates to get my 12 atmas today THANKS BIDORI

[hard drift]

WTF DID I DO

[hard drift]

turn off the app while gaming...

that should be common sense as a miner anyways

[modest moss]

you showed the pretty stick

[sullen maple]

I'm not a miner

[hard drift]

miner, investor, same thing idc

[sullen maple]

the crypto app to manage my wallet only xD

anyway

[modest moss]

you have 6gb ram free there

[sullen maple]

but when I'm gaming I think most of them gone

[modest moss]

getting more ram is unlikely to help

close tabs and the crypto app when gaming?

[hard drift]

😐

[sullen maple]

sometimes u gotta make that app open for some instant deals xD

[hard drift]

[dreamy chasm]

crypto apps shouldnt need more than a tiny bit

[sly elk]

i've been wanting to show off my cool looking new spekaers lol. finally organized my desk and took the old speakers down (gonna put those in my bedroom after I move probably :D)

[odd sand]

Nice. After I'm settled at the new apt I'm going to do a hard think about a new desk I can bring out

Using a 25-30yo computer desk still

[still cypress]

What resolution monitors are those?

[umbral moss]

I really wanted to replace my current setup with 2x xeneons but it seems like the monitors are kind of poop and the acer 1440/144 displays are better/cheaper

[sly elk]

1920x1080@240hz on the side screens, 3440x1440@120hz on the middle one (i usually use the side ones at 144hz though)

[still cypress]

Oh nice nice

[sly elk]

i wanted nice IPS screens and these had just came out when I got them ^^ the high refresh rate was a big bonus

nice smooth scrolling even on my side monitors 😄

[still cypress]

I was thinking about this yummy spectacle here:

[umbral moss]

[still cypress]

https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/27--odyssey-g7-gaming-monitor-lc27g75tqsnxza/

😋

[sly elk]

aye those are popular, just make sure they fixed the kinks with them?

i thought a long hard time about getting a g9 when I was getting this setup 😄

[still cypress]

Kinks? Just get a warranty

Yea it's popular. I hear nothing but good things about the G7

[umbral moss]

I'm very satisfied with my predator XB1, honestly

and acer has them on sale for $379 a piece right now

[dreamy chasm]

im still running a dell ips monitor from 2013

[umbral moss]

I love the 1440/144

best balance of attainable performance and high res

plus the XB1 has breddy gud color reproduction

[modest moss]

I have a dell ips from around then, Dell U2312HM, it's dying but what a great monitor at the time

[dreamy chasm]

E2311h on my end

I might buy a p2414hb if finances ever get better for me in the far future

I was about to buy a monitor at some point but irl shit dictated no

[modest moss]

rl has a habit of being a twat

[dreamy chasm]

truly

anyways

its an old monitor but it works

i cant really complain lol

[late basalt]

if it's consuming that much system resource for managing your wallet, then that shit's got malware in it doing mining for whoever wrote the program and you got fucking suckered into being a slavebot

[modest moss]

Cyan do you know what nata de coco is? I bet you do

[dreamy chasm]

Yeah

It's sweet so I

Dont eat it often but

It's a nice treat every now and then

[modest moss]

my kid randomly bought me a lychee flavoured drink and it had that in it, had never heard of it before

[dreamy chasm]

It's just fermented coconut water, really

[potent arrow]

aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[modest moss]

yeah it's clever

[potent arrow]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[dreamy chasm]

It's great whenever you get some nata that's just the right amount of firm that you can bite into it, but it isnt chewy

[potent arrow]

[modest moss]

hi Sarah, glad you're alive

[dreamy chasm]

whats wrong sarah

[still cypress]

This is my current monitor. It has 4k 60hz, but the response time is 15ms. I'm trying to figure out if upgrading to IPS is worth it https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27UK650-W-4k-uhd-led-monitor

[dreamy chasm]

i mean

[potent arrow]

IM OUT OF SNACKS

ITS 11 PM AND I DONT HAVE SNACKS

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE

[dreamy chasm]

oh

[late basalt]

shame most stores have already closed

[modest moss]

no 24hr store near you?

[latent grotto]

imagine having the motivation to leave the house

[potent arrow]

NONE

AAARGGH

Plus I have covid

[still cypress]

Door dash ftw?

[latent grotto]

go sleep if you got covid

[potent arrow]

I JUST WANT SNACKS

[modest moss]

Levant be a bro and deliver snacks

[latent grotto]

no

[dreamy chasm]

it might be, but it's going to be subjective

[latent grotto]

i don't wanna get up

[modest moss]

wow, toxic

[dreamy chasm]

i personally dont care about refresh rate, so a 60hz monitor w really good colors would be my endgame if i could afford it

[hard drift]

The best part of upgrading would be color/response time

That response time is ass

[modest moss]

for context they're planning on buying 3080ti/3090/3090ti

[dreamy chasm]

ah

[potent arrow]

I need to get you into prostitution

[dreamy chasm]

def get 1440/144hz then

[dreamy chasm]

?

i have a boyfriend

[potent arrow]

Get him involved too

More money for battlestation

[dreamy chasm]

i'd consider it if i was single

[dreamy chasm]

nah

[modest moss]

jesus and I get told I say weird things in here

[dreamy chasm]

sarah is a gremlin

[potent arrow]

IM TIRED AND HUNGRY AND SICK

I JUST NEED SNACKS OK

[dreamy chasm]

its just more noticeable when you do it since you're usually pretty sober, shue

[potent arrow]

I got a bag of jalapenos and Gatorade

[dreamy chasm]

nice

[latent grotto]

shue got that deadpan delivery that makes it sound like everything he says is serious

[potent arrow]

Gonna sit in a corner and finish this before I go postal

[still cypress]

Okay ty guys

[latent grotto]

just sleep

[potent arrow]

Levant you are first to go

[modest moss]

next time I'll use emojis and say UwU and shit

[latent grotto]

ok do it

no balls

[still cypress]

Is that not enough?

[potent arrow]

no

I literally eat 5 packs of ramen normally whenver im in this mood

[modest moss]

Sarah is special

[potent arrow]

and like 6 dietcokes

but i have NONE OF THAT

[still cypress]

Wow 6?

[latent grotto]

i'm more surprised sarah isn't fat yet

[hard drift]

High metabolism gang

[potent arrow]

I have a fast metabolism and sometimes it goes into overdrive and I get so fucking hungry

[dreamy chasm]

i have to be forced to eat sometimes

[still cypress]

I mean, a good trick is to mix the Gatorade with water. Maybe split the bottle into 1/3 and mix with water. You can stretch out the serving size.

[potent arrow]

I want my diet coke REEE

[eager sandal]

would more ram would help run ffxiv better

i have a potato

so i dont really know if it would help noticeably

[potent arrow]

it would help everything

[eager sandal]

more ram it is then

[dreamy chasm]

yeah

[potent arrow]

8 is minimum these days

[dreamy chasm]

w10 barely runs on 4 gigs as it is

im guessing you have a laptop w soldered on memory?

[potent arrow]

there should be minimum another slot tho

[eager sandal]

i think it does? my brother got it but there's 1 other free slot

should be fine if i get one online

[potent arrow]

hp ladptop?

[dreamy chasm]

ah

yeah, just get one w similar speeds if you're able ot

[modest moss]

what laptop is it?

[eager sandal]

dell inspiron 3000

i did some really wacky crap to run ffxiv at not 15 fps

[modest moss]

yeah I'd bet it'll help a little

[dreamy chasm]

having ram run at dual channel might help things

[modest moss]

it'll still be shit though

[eager sandal]

thats fine

[dreamy chasm]

also, there might be ways to force the igpu to run higher clocks?

but im not sure

[eager sandal]

every little bit helps

ohh boy i think that wont be safe for a laptop

im still using it for school so i hope it lasts for a while

[dreamy chasm]

ah

fair

[modest moss]

can probably get 4gb for like $30, probably worth a punt

[hard drift]

My keyboard has landed in the US soon ™️

[dreamy chasm]

https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-2400MHz-PC4-19200-SODIMM-Laptop/dp/B01HOM9IZ4/ref=sr_1_5?crid=IZX3U75AAQT9&keywords=8gb+sodimm+ddr4&qid=1646021588&sprefix=8gb+sodimm+ddr5%2Caps%2C571&sr=8-5

its 8gb for 30

a 4gb dimm is probably in the 20-ish usd

id probably just skip a lunch or two to get the 8gb stick if i had the choice between either

[modest moss]

but then it won't run dual channel

I'd buy either 4gb or 2x8gb probably

[late basalt]

depending on how old the laptop is, that might be like trying to squeeze another 5mph out of a farm tractor already redlined

[dreamy chasm]

dual channel works w differing ram sizes

its just a bit jank

[eager sandal]

4gb here is around $20 and $46 for 8gb

[dreamy chasm]

oh

[eager sandal]

prices kinda suck here

[hard drift]

I mean it’s ryzen in a laptop so recentish still

[dreamy chasm]

what country are you in

[eager sandal]

philippines

[dreamy chasm]

ah

[potent arrow]

a

[dreamy chasm]

a'

[modest moss]

🅰️

[dreamy chasm]

why is this so funny to me

FREE AIR FRYER

[late basalt]

air fryer probably worth more than the laptop at this point in time

[umbral moss]

if you put that on your lap it's also an air fryer

[kindred brook]

SHUE

should I do this

with 10% off coupon

nah

I shouldn't

[eager sandal]

you should see the reviews

some just type some incomprehensible stuff and then post pics of unrelated things

[dreamy chasm]

yeah

it's like

@potent arrow you sure this looks like a bad chair?

cheaper by a good 10 bucks or so than the other option im looking at

[potent arrow]

I'm sure

I don't see many adjustment handles and that shit breaks it for me in my books

[dreamy chasm]

logistics is a pita

[late basalt]

it's also scummy ¯_(ツ)_/¯

iirc something like 80-90% of those stores never even see or touch the garbage they sell

[sly elk]

yea

unless you buy a chair from like, amazon

or from an internet store that has a real location nearby

eh screw it. most online chair sellers have a return policy like "yea if you take it apart, put it back in the box, and pay $100 to ship it back to our warehouse in china, sure. We'll give you your money back!"

[late basalt]

^

[sly elk]

why can't they have the same policy as all the online mattress sellers do?

the "we'll give you your money back and tell you to donate it to goodwill" policy

I mean even with the fancy upholstery and the cool metal frame, those things can't possibly be worth more than $400

[late basalt]

drop ship stores practically never physically handle inventory, so they're basically little more than shell companies

[sly elk]

that said

the mesh back thing must've been a real deal for chair companies lol

all they have to do is stretch some mesh on a frame and that's it

i'm honestly not sure who has the biggest scam going

those $500 gaming chair companies

or herman miller

i just want something that doesn't fall apart in less than like 10 years

i wonder how many landfills are full of $100 staples chairs

[late basalt]

hey now

staples has quality stuff too

in fact, the chair i've got now is from staples, and it's probably been like... shit, i dunno, 7 years?

sure the pleather is shedding but still

(and it's creaky as fuck )

[sly elk]

o_O

staples sells anda seat chairs?

should be?

they have an xl chair on indiegogo I was tempted to get, but haven't 😄 bit afraid the seat might be too narrow

[dreamy chasm]

i dont even have 50 bucks to spend on a chair rn

[sly elk]

-deletes his troll post on /r/pcmr- that sub is dumb as fuck

lol

[jaunty light]

gamer chairs

https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs/ergonomic-chair this is supposedly pretty good, but definitely expensive

[sly elk]

You’re a big guy?! Your pic doesn’t look that way lol

[jaunty light]

it's a 300 piston on that chair I think. I got a heavy one for this leap I got which is like 450 or somethin

[strange verge]

https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/lanespelare-gaming-mouse-pad-black-60507794/

best kept secret right now in cheap good mouse pads its co developed with asus and feels like a qck
for £6 if you buy it in store £10 with delivery

[dull garnet]

I bought my last two qck for a fiver

[strange verge]

In that size tho?

[dull garnet]

No

[jaunty light]

thick size

[fervent field]

im so mad i wanted to buy a battery bank for my steam deck but the good ones have literally doubled in price because there's been a battery shortage since late last year

😭

https://twitter.com/ipsusu/status/1498123891964792832?s=20&t=QCsQmwWBYBJ0E5NKBCr0ug

ipsusu ipsu (@ipsusu)

was looking at power banks for steam deck and like

wat da why this so much more expensive, is there a major battery shortage since like November 2021? https://t.co/FdL97QSWdd

Twitter · Feb 28, 2022, 2:32 AM

its ok i dont have da steam deck yet i dont need it ;;

[dull garnet]

Might get another hour

[fervent field]

actually this one looks just as good, been as low as £63.99 just last month so can just wait for it to drop

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-PowerCore-Delivery-Portable-Charger/dp/B08S6YRTDN/ref=pd_lpo_3?pd_rd_i=B08S6YRTDN&psc=1

[royal forge]

Anker is a reliable brand

(plus, stylish design)

[iron kiln]

Is there a “stable” older nvidia driver atm? Read that people were struggling with the latest one but I don’t know if I should go with it anyway

[fervent field]

ye i've set a couple price alerts, not expecting to get my steam deck until late april so i got some time

[royal forge]

but im not sure how much extra juice you'll get?

seems like steamdeck would take quite a bit of power

[fervent field]

Steam deck battery is 40Wh (5,313mAh apparently)

the battery bank is 25,600 mAh

[royal forge]

im assuming 25600 is the battery capacity

[fervent field]

ye

[royal forge]

because apparently using units is too difficult

[fervent field]

it can charge at maximum fast charging speed of steam deck also

but no way am i going to get like, 5 whole charges

[royal forge]

buy one of em foldable solar panels

was it on a linus tech tips vid?

hmmm

like

just slap it out on the sidewalk

fuck ye

GAMING ON THE GO

[fervent field]

nah this 25,600mah one is da way to go, 26000mah is the limit for being able to take a battery on a plane lol

and solar is poopoo

[royal forge]

i can never game on a plane

i just get on the plane

tell myself i'll finally watch that movie i missed

then fall asleep till i arrive

[fervent field]

i mean less about gaming on the plane, more about being able to travel with it lol

wont even let u check it in luggage without special permission if its over 26000mah

[royal forge]

ah

why not a switch?

i thought that was THE handheld

[fervent field]

cuz u can play ffxiv on the steam deck!

[eager sandal]

i am happy

been living with 4gb ram for like 4 years

[fervent field]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um5r-btTpUA&t=558s

[royal forge]

OOO

[eager sandal]

mm yes crafting time

[royal forge]

inb4 i miss my stop because I was clearing savage

[fervent field]

hell yea

but ye ima set up a mobile wifi hotspot thing with my phone

[eager sandal]

i mean, you can do savage i just dont think it looks comfortable

[fervent field]

apparently its very ergonomic

heavy tho

[royal forge]

inb4 i start insulting my teammates as morons on a bus

[fervent field]

need to tuck in ur elbows or rest your arms on a surface

[eager sandal]

imagine just playing up with you facing the cailing

and then you drop it on your face

[royal forge]

isekai

straight up isekai-ed

not truck kun

it's STEAMDECK CHAN

dropped an M there

[fervent field]

prob the best, no waffle review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxcvwuaXC_w

[eager sandal]

i'd love a steam deck honestly, would even be a nice alternative if you want to make it for desktop stuff too

[fervent field]

yeah! got my order in on day 1 but the preorder page was messin up so im not the first quarter :(

got the baby 64GB version cuz i managed to get a 512GB sd card for super cheap

literally like £32

[eager sandal]

oh, okay

[royal forge]

but how would u play XIV on the steamdeck?

[eager sandal]

i was about to ask

about the storage

[royal forge]

i assume you'll need the steam ver?

[fervent field]

nope

[eager sandal]

you can install windows on it

[royal forge]

Oho?

owo

[fervent field]

you can run the non-steam on the linux os too

[royal forge]

ah finally

my windows 98 machine

is mobile

[fervent field]

either through lutris or just add it as a non-steam game on the desktop mode

im sure someone will make a tutorial

i have steam version tho cuz i started on the free trial way back

[royal forge]

ah.

[fervent field]

but yeah storage is way overpriced on this thing

[royal forge]

xiv is STILL region locked on steam for me

so

[fervent field]

what you mean?

[royal forge]

64GB ain't much space tho

[royal forge]

like, i can't access the steam XIV page

[eager sandal]

yikes thats a huge price difference

[fervent field]

ye its nothing

[eager sandal]

cant see the store page

its region locked for me too

[fervent field]

oh damn

[royal forge]

i was like

hackerman

to get XIV

[fervent field]

i think they dont support certain regions for the steam version

[royal forge]

like... you need to make a SE EU account, but then link it to an actual address in UK or something

[fervent field]

cuz they only take payment in certain currencies yeah

[eager sandal]

whatever they dont support in steam ver they dont support at all

[royal forge]

(technically don't support)

but then

look at all us SEA players

[eager sandal]

you need to do workarounds

[royal forge]

we had like.. dedicated threads on workarounds

like

VPNs

or other whack shit

[eager sandal]

e.g. linking a cc to a supported payment method on a certain regions, having somebody pay for you and you just pay them back

[royal forge]

like why we shud use the EU SE and not the JP or US one

etc etec

[eager sandal]

or whatever

i just wish they supported SEA countries they're really pooped

[royal forge]

yea..

[eager sandal]

most especially now that materia's a thing

[royal forge]

but we're the forgotten region

To japan, it's just japan then south of that... Australia

[eager sandal]

like it's SEA centric how r u not having payment methods for a lot of the countries there

[royal forge]

Nah. it ain't

we actually have better ping to JP than materia

[eager sandal]

i dont

LOL

[royal forge]

because Aus sucks

i dunoe

[eager sandal]

i have 125ms

and i have somehow 200 on jp

[royal forge]

my connection to Aus sucky

[eager sandal]

and then i have 170 on us

[royal forge]

country? if ya dont mind me askin

[eager sandal]

🇵🇭

[royal forge]

huh. That's a surprise

[eager sandal]

yeah its probably my isp being crap

[royal forge]

i thought ya'all route through SG as well

[eager sandal]

i've tried mudfish though, didnt really help much

iunno

isp doesn't really care about routing

or rather specific nodes

[royal forge]

eh. u can usually ping em to find out

like the ole trace route

but what's the point, when ya know...

[eager sandal]

wanted to try getting into that but god am i so lazy

[eager sandal]

i have another obsolete question for you guys

do ui mods work in dx9

[modern iris]

No

[glossy timber]

looks like its call the isp time

8mbps on a 360mbps package

[jaunty light]

ISP: we said up to

[glossy timber]

my contract is up if they wanna play that game

[modest moss]

Virgin?

[modern iris]

Yes

[latent grotto]

But is it ethernet or wifi

[deep sapphire]

[glossy timber]

yeah

[late basalt]

Guess you won’t have any internet

[glossy timber]

wifi but i get faster internet if i tether to my phone so it's not that

[late basalt]

ISPs sell capacity

[glossy timber]

im about half a meter away

also there's more than one isp here

i can swap

[umbral moss]

😔

$140/mo for 1Gbps internet

look man, I just want to download the tiddy faster

[late basalt]

You’d just be buying line capacity again

[glossy timber]

and our countries law states its breach of contract if they stay under advertised speeds

so

cope

usa

[late basalt]

Good luck enforcing it

[glossy timber]

if we pay for 360 here we get 360

[late basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/kekw-kek-bttv-twitch-emote-gif-15123134

[glossy timber]

its breach of contract you can walk away

again, there are enough isps that the threat of leaving here actually works

[late basalt]

You’d have to provide some sort of proof that there’s a breach of contract

[glossy timber]

yeah easily enough done

there's services to help you with that here

[late basalt]

‘Sides, what’s to say there isn’t equipment issues happening? Line repairs? Etc

[glossy timber]

i did actually check that

[late basalt]

Instead of just going “reeeeeeeeeeeeee where’s my speeeeeeeeeeeeeed”

[umbral moss]

you're looking at it like an american company, not a euro company

"how can we justify our bullshit service and raise prices?"

[glossy timber]

here theres just a meme cycles of isps slowly raising prices then you call them and go

im cancelling if you dont lower

then they lower

and it continues forever

but yeah theres enough consumer protection laws here to stop isps being too fucky

[umbral moss]

imagine living somewhere where the law protects you, not the corporation

[glossy timber]

weird i know right

tbf i went on the isps website and it just kept breaking so maybe virgin media hq is on fire

its also on the isp to provide the router so they can't even blame that

bad rng

[umbral moss]

if we fail to provide adequate service, you are legally entitled to one (1) whole legal arbitration attempt, provided by an arbitration service we choose at a venue we choose on a date we choose

[glossy timber]

damn thats a clause

so when your isps are being fucky do you just kinda

pay big money for shit or go offline

[umbral moss]

most companies in the US have arbitration clauses that are specifically designed to disempower you from filing a real lawsuit

[glossy timber]

bit meme

[umbral moss]

you agree to the terms of service, which automatically waives your right to sue since you also agree to the terms of legal redress via arbitration instead

some bright bulb decided to weaponize that against intuit (the shitheads who make turbotax)

and they filed 100,000 arbitration requests, which intuit has to pay per case

[glossy timber]

thats big brain

i wonder why there are so few isps when the market is so easy to meme over there

[umbral moss]

because the law is structured to protect the incumbents, not promote competition

[modest moss]

you got fttp available in your area?

[umbral moss]

ISPs have sued municipalities that started running their own cable/fiber to provide a municipal internet service

[glossy timber]

i haven't actually checked

[umbral moss]

and won

big pog, I checked with my ISP and my new house can get 1Gbps internet bidirectional

[glossy timber]

oh it is available

poggy

[umbral moss]

uploading those sizzle reels at LIGHTNINT SPEED to the internet

[latent grotto]

i don't have fttp here yet

[glossy timber]

just move

[latent grotto]

i'll just move into the office

[glossy timber]

5head

[latent grotto]

i'd at least check and see if you're getting 360mbps on ethernet before calling your isp

[glossy timber]

i'm on a laptop so thats hard but again it'd be weird if the laptop was the issue when im getting faster connection using a mobile hotspot

[latent grotto]

2.4ghz or 5ghz

[glossy timber]

5

[modest moss]

it's surely easier on a laptop, move the laptop to the router and plug a cable in

2 min job

[glossy timber]

thats only true if the laptop has an ethernet port

[umbral moss]

[latent grotto]

why don't you have a usb c to ethernet adapter

[glossy timber]

im using both my usb-c slots

also it has literally never been an issue before today

[modest moss]

ghetto setup matey

[glossy timber]

always got the full 360

im literally spitting distance from the router

i can reach out and lick it

but yeah

ghetto

not wrong

could just leave my isp for

[latent grotto]

if you call them they may very well say "welp you're not on ethernet and we don't guarantee wifi speeds"

[glossy timber]

its alright my contract ended 6 months ago

if they pull that bullshit they can swallow my nut

probably why the speeds are lower i guess

they're not contractually obligated anymore

[modest moss]

I only mean ghetto not having the capability to go wired

[latent grotto]

i guarantee you you're gonna need to at least try with a few other devices before they even think about sending a technician if you're not on ethernet and they don't immediately see something wrong with the equipment

[modest moss]

eh he can connect his phone to wifi and do a speed test

console as well maybe? got a playstation or xbox?

[latent grotto]

yea this is what i do for work so if you can't connect with ethernet i need to know its something that affects more than just your laptop before i even think about scheduling

[umbral moss]

yeah, my ISP says "1 gig internet, actually 940 Mbps for wired connections"

[latent grotto]

i don't work for virgin but i suspect their procedure is similar

[glossy timber]

they send a technician fast enough when you go okay i'll cancel my payment

[latent grotto]

jokes on you i give no shits

ok you wanna cancel lemme get you to retention

[glossy timber]

british isps will stand on the floor and let you walk over them when you say you'll leave fr

ooh 14mbps now

we're going up in the world

but yeah i guess i could get an ethernet adapter just to go hey its still shit

[dull garnet]

oh yeah well i get 19mbps

[glossy timber]

damn

thats cursed

get well soon

I had a faint memory of using this controller to play buzz lightyear of star command on pc in 2000 god looking back that really was the dark ages controllers for PC lmao

[dull garnet]

SideWinder

controllers on PC was pretty terrible until xinput honestly

[potent arrow]

I used to use the wingman controllers

that thing

was awful

[strange verge]

Really was!

It was a godsend when the xbox 360 controller became plug and play

[strange verge]

I remember the wingman!

[dull garnet]

at the very least you had to install the driver

i was a stubborn XP user until the end lol

[strange verge]

Same!

It was a sad day when I had to move to windows 7

[dull garnet]

damn you TRIM

and later DX11

screw DX10

[sharp star]

why are all the bad controllers boomerang-shaped

[strange verge]

Because they were all clearly designed by Australians

🤣

Tbf that ps3 boomerang controller looks sorta comfy depending on your hand size

I like how sony thought about making something different then saw the reaction to it on the internet and backtracked to essentially a wireless if it ain't broke don't fix it ps1/ps2 controller

must be a controller config setting in steam big picture mode that'll sort you out, idk what though

[hot basalt]

okay I figured it out. I disabled the Steam input and now it seems to be working again. Looks like Steam Big picture was getting the in the way of ffxiv detecting the controller

you need to give me power of attorney

didn't you just get a new job where you need to relocate?

[kindred brook]

half of that is right

the first half lol

I can work remote still

[modest moss]

ah ok, I was going to say at least wait until you've moved

fuck it, buy all the things

[kindred brook]

also its not a new job

its the same job

except higher pay lol

well "higher pay"

its like 25% pay increase

BUUUUUUUUUUUUT

I got benefits now

so that 25% = benefit pay prob lmfao

i mean it's a new generation still

unless 13th gen is really that big of a difference i'd do 12th since it'll probably go down in price

[modest moss]

did you really just ask whether buying a product that isn't even out yet would be early adopting?

[hard drift]

won't matter

they'll more than likely bring a new chipset with it too

or atleast an enthusiast level one

Yeah

When it decides to work

I still ain’t gonna recommend people AMD gpu’s unless they’re willing to go through a RMA or get a refund because the drivers are doodoo

no

[hard drift]

i've had 0 problems on these ones

[modest moss]

you had to replace your GPU to play FFXIV

[hard drift]

that's because navi 1 was garbage lol

hello guys is that normal that after i click on the play button of ff launcher (im on steam) the launchers closes without launching the game ? sorta instant crash i guess ?

[hard drift]

it's not normal, try quicklauncher and or an integrity check

i already checked integrity so im going to try this 3rd launcher

i also crash with XL even with repairing files, i reinstalled the game and i got a «wmvcore.dll missing» 😭

[hard drift]

open command prompt in admin and run "sfc /scannow" and also do "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth"

see if it fixes it

if that doesn't work i also found that some said this helps to fix it https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49919

[gusty snow]

apparently the os found some corrupted files and repaired them

what is the second command meant to do ?

[hard drift]

also helps to verify operating system health

[gusty snow]

it just gave me 2 version numbers

[hard drift]

it should be doing something if you entered it like that

should look like this

[gusty snow]

the last line is missing

[hard drift]

might be loading idk

but if you entered DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

it should do exactly as i posted

[gusty snow]

i copy-pasted your text 😭

lets try anyway

[hard drift]

you are running admin command prompt correct?

[gusty snow]

yup

[hard drift]

i mean first go check if the game works since it found/fixed files

may not even be needed

[gusty snow]

oooh the bar finally appears

[hard drift]

nice

[gusty snow]

after that i have to eat its evening there ill keep you aware of any progress

[hard drift]

okay np

[hard drift]

just keep this in mind for later incase those don't work

[gusty snow]

sadly it is not working still this crash at startup, yet i did your 3 fixes

including media feature pack

[rapid hollow]

I’ve done some water cooled builds and whatnot

First of all why the fuck do you need so many radiators this isn’t a f150

What the fuck is going on

Listen I know I said I did water loops but not making the computer 90% radiator

[gusty snow]

where all the other stuff go then ? power block and hdd/ssd ?

[rapid hollow]

But alas depending on your components just a single 360mm radiator should be enough

[rapid hollow]

Dual chamber

[gusty snow]

oh okay

[rapid hollow]

There’s not being typical and just wasting money to not be typical

It’s a good case and all

But you don’t need that many radiators

What are you even trying to run

Radiators and fans that is, unless you want to make the build completely fabless then you’d use that MANY

[gusty snow]

@hard driftsorry for bothering u but at the moment i am kinda desesperated

[rapid hollow]

Listen I’m not the right person for cramming so many radiators but for a build that makes sense I reckon a normal 360 rad would be enough for that loop

Thickness doesn’t matter much, it does but actual area size (120/240/360) matters way more

[hard drift]

Um, I’m not at my pc atm so i can’t lookup more ideas on fixes only other one i remember is just making sure windows is up to date/optional updates installed

[gusty snow]

i also did this too bad, do you know people or forums i could look at a potential fix for my issue ?

[hard drift]

Check ffxiv forum or lookup the dll missing error and see if there’s other forums for fixes

[rapid hollow]

The example you gave was a bit weird to know what where was where but this one makes more sense

[hard drift]

That’s what i was doing

[gusty snow]

k thanks

[rapid hollow]

But I think 2 rads is overkill and 3 is a waste of money especially since it’s a single gpu as much as the 3090 can heat up

Up/down config should be good enough for cooling beds

[hard drift]

It is, the returns are not worth investment after 1 radiator and that’s been shown it’s extra money for little to no extra headroom

[rapid hollow]

And I’d use the other area on the other chamber for actually cooling the other components like hard drives and the power supply

As much as they have some leeway on how hot they can run it’s always nice to have some cooling on them

Like unless you’re looking to run 2 3090’s and over lock the shut out of your cpu I still think 2 rads would saturate how much water can transport anyway

That looks nice but not that practical to be honest

Too many possible failure points

Go run a dual loop tho if you want to keep the cpu and gpu separated on their own loops tho for better thermals if you want

I just can’t really justify the random ass third rad

Like it does look like it makes sense to have more radiators to dissipate the heat from the water but remember that water can hold so much heat by itself

You can’t strongarm that

That 1080mm still gives diminishing returns per size

Here’s a similar product

You can do 2 thick rads if you want the looks

Btw you can do 30mm rads just fine, you don’t need 60 ones but it’s more of an aesthetic thing at that point

that should still be enough to avoid 100c?

if i'm understanding the beginning right they fucked up the bios

but i'm watching now

he said they managed to trick it into being 100% load the whole time

[sly elk]

tells me all I need to know

[rapid hollow]

there are some

but MSI isn't one of them

[sly elk]

yea how the hell do they get a 10700 to 100c lol

were they using low noise fans at like 300rpm?

[rapid hollow]

have you heard of cases being poorly designed and having close to no airflow

[hard drift]

100% all the time will saturate a lot of coolers especially with no airflow lol

[rapid hollow]

you cant brute force a hot ass 14mn++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ chip with fans on a shitty case

[hard drift]

"power limits are way over ambitious and fans are set to a cap under their maximum"

[sly elk]

so kinda what I thought lol

[umbral moss]

would be nice to see a true 2.5x over my titan, but like. it's nvidia

[sly elk]

it's funny because default fan curves usually are on the noisy side

[hard drift]

probably next gen

[umbral moss]

leather jacketman will always find a way to underdeliver

[sly elk]

like corsair aio defaults to like 50% fan speed at a cpu temp 30c?

something silly like that

[umbral moss]

the rumors are always like "it's 5x last gen performance!!!!" and then the actual GPU drops and it's like 15% faster than the previous GPU

while costing 40% more somehow

[sly elk]

lol

yup

most tech things are like that, too

apple used to do that a lot

[umbral moss]

like the S22+ being basically the S21.5

[hard drift]

yeah, next gen won't be able to get away with as much as this generation did for both sides

[sly elk]

"The new one is over 200% faster than the old one!"
(they're actually talking about the base 2013 13" with a hard drive that they sell for $800 on the edu store)

and now with phones

[rapid hollow]

unless we get pascal 2

[sly elk]

"It's 500% faster!" (at this one particular benchmark that is completely unrealistic and nobody gives a shit)

android phone companies were super bad about that

[jaunty light]

14+^69

[sly elk]

I love the ones where they overclock the cpu for a split second for a benchmark test

[hard drift]

once mcm comes around i'm sure we'll see better longevity of gpus

[sly elk]

but if you actually ran the processor at that performance level for more than a few mins it'd melt a hole in the phone

[umbral moss]

nah, there's still a physical limit to how many transistors and how much power you can cram in there

at some point the idea of a "transistor" just fucks off because you're talking about two dipole coupled silicon atoms

[sly elk]

i think gpus are very much in a malaise performance/watt era right now lol

[hard drift]

yes but people have stopped caring as much about power usage so 500w gpus are becoming things

[umbral moss]

you can't realistically dissipate 500W with air lmao

[hard drift]

so we'll see things fed more power for extra performance along with multiple gpu dies essentially "doubling" performance but as for if it actually turns out that way we'll see

[sly elk]

I dunno

[hard drift]

we'll probably see hybrid designs more often if they do

[umbral moss]

anything cheap enough to satisfy BOM cost won't be powerful enough to dissipate 500W comfortably

[sly elk]

a 3080ti can get into the high 300s

keeping that cool with air is possible but loud af

[umbral moss]

also consider you're talking about explicit mgpu as DX12 implemented it

[hard drift]

the cards pulling 500w are more than likely going to be enthusiast level so people won't care to pay the extra for the fancy coolers

[sly elk]

honestly

[umbral moss]

and explicit mgpu hasn't fuckin been used anywhere

[modest moss]

they sure are in europe, gas and electricity prices are through the roof

[sly elk]

when I play forza my computer sounds not far off from the fan on a car radiator on a hot day

[umbral moss]

on top of the fact that you don't get a linear gain for adding GPUs

unless you're severely GPU limited, which isn't the case for these XXXTREME GAMEN chips

[sly elk]

it's also a giant jump when you're using something like an m1 macbook air hahaha

averaging 20w on a good day?

[hard drift]

yeah, which is why it'll be interesting to see how it goes, rdna 3 is the first generation of consumer cards to use MCM and they're already using it in CDNA (amd server achitecture)

[sly elk]

-gets out CHONKER- -idles at 180w-

[umbral moss]

if only europe had committed to using nuclear power twenty years ago

[modest moss]

yeah, sucks

[umbral moss]

instead of being like "it's fine if we import all our energy"

[modest moss]

france did some, their bills went up by 4%, mine are probably going to triple

[umbral moss]

I'm sorely tempted to start a wildcat nuclear energy project and see how long it takes for the NRC to find me

[hard drift]

building a nuclear reactor is surprisingly simple, the hard part is getting the fuel 😔

[modest moss]

even if the UK builds a bunch of nuclear plants now it'll take far too long to lower my bills

[hard drift]

gotta get the funds from somewhere to build these plants... time to raise taxes

anything after pascal on the nvidia side is just "what if we made the 1080 ti current again with some funny cores"

people that bought pascal and stayed with it laughing hard

if there's anything that we've learned in the last three years, it's that the idea of "paying for things" is actually a fucking myth

if the government wants to do something, there's always money to do it

[umbral moss]

I read an article from a nuclear advisory guy who was advocating the same thing I am, that mega-scale facilities are a huge waste of time and money

you're better off building smaller, redundant facilities closer to the point of use

it mitigates meltdown risk since there's way less fuel in play and you can build the things faster and cheaper

until they get outsourced to shit local companies and fuck up residential areas

[jaunty light]

it's fine, just eliminate all of your energy production then buy it from elsewhere and posture that you are carbon neutral

[umbral moss]

I mean, the risks are pretty negligible when you're talking like, 30-50kg of fuel

it can't go kaboom and at worst it'll require a couple of hazmat guys to come and take it away if there's a vessel failure

At least no gigabyte or you’d have to wear thick clothing for the explosions

[hard drift]

Please tell me that’s not your build…

If so… shame
