let me upgrade my old ass monitor dorime

royal forge
#

I WANT A 4TB NVME FOR MY JAPANESE CARTOONS

#

I cant even afford an ssd for my 3D assets

hard drift
#

again, why tf are you downloading this shit

royal forge
#

Becuz shit internet

hard drift
#

🤨 how does that make sense namazuconcern

royal forge
#

They replaced everything but the motherboard (which i suspect is the problem) and they are sending it back to me

hard drift
#

your internet is too shit to stream it but good enough to constantly download it....

royal forge
hard drift
#

yikes

umbral moss
hard drift
#

i remember those days 😭

modest moss
#

just put in a 4tb sata ssd instead

umbral moss
#

or are they going to replace the case and send it back

royal forge
#

This is ship of thesus level stupid

umbral moss
#

we noticed that the chassis has a small crack in the corner, so we replaced the external casing and are sending it back to you

royal forge
#

I know one of the usb ports is cracked

#

So i told em

#

I dunoe if the clowns remembered

hard drift
royal forge
#

I did

#

I printed it out

hard drift
#

inbetween the screen and keyboard?

modest moss
#

dude he went in there

royal forge
#

Left the error logs on my desktop

#

Yes

hard drift
#

well shit, they're stupid lol

royal forge
#

I even screenshot the location and PRINTED IT ON THE PAPER

modest moss
#

just take them to court or forget it

royal forge
#

Its legit not worth the effort if i gotta go there to dispute it

#

I'll ask around and see what do

modest moss
#

you go to the nearest magistrate's court

#

How do you file a claim?

Just follow these steps to file a claim:

Go to the nearest Magistrates’ Court. See the registrar or clerk in charge and ask for Form 198 (Order 93, rule 3(1)).

Fill in the form, with all the necessary details (Order 93, rule 3(2)), in four copies (Order 93, rule 5(1)).

State when, how and why the claim has arisen. Keep them SHORT and straight to the point.

Give the form to the registry of that Magistrates’ Court and pay RM10 (Order 93, rule 5(1)) as a filing fee.

The court will inform you and the defendant of the hearing date.

If the defendant fails to file his defence within the required period or fails to attend the hearing, the court may give the judgement to you.

If the defendant offers to settle out of court before the hearing, you can accept by:

writing an acceptance letter to the defendant

and

sending a copy of your letter to the court.

Your case is then considered withdrawn.

What happens in court?

Both sides present arguments and evidences to support their case.
The magistrate will pass judgement after hearing from both sides.

If you win the case, the magistrate will award you either the whole claim or part of it. You can also claim for costs not exceeding RM100 (Order 93, rule 15).

#

don't they teach doctors how to google?

umbral moss
#

don't you guys have phones?

royal forge
#

I dunoe if they want me to travel to the court near their place or if I can do it online

modest moss
#

eh, should be at the court where you file it

royal forge
#

It SHOULD be, but I've dealt with worse shit

modest moss
#

it's one country, file locally

royal forge
#

I have to fly across an ocean if I wanna go there

#

So thats why im hesitating

modest moss
#

honestly, you know what, it's exhausting

#

just do what you wanna do

royal forge
#

It is exhausting, if i could, i would just go file a report and get on with it. But the problem is that
A. I gotta spend a fair bit of money just to fly over
B. I have limited days off for the whole year and i'm savin em for xmas

#

Thats the whole thing. It's not that i dont know how to google or whatever

#

Its the logistics bollocks that i dont want to deal with

modest moss
#

you literally haven't bothered to find out whether you'd need to travel or you can do it locally, so it IS the googling at this stage

#

anyway, whatever, I'm over it

royal forge
#

Shue, i have googled it. But you have to call them because they dont do online

#

But the fuckers dont answer calls because thats the literal sterotypical local government

modest moss
#

Go to the nearest Magistrates’ Court. See the registrar or clerk in charge and ask for Form 198 (Order 93, rule 3(1)).

#

took me 30s to google malaysia small claims court and find instructions

#

and those forms and/or the clerk will tell you the rest

royal forge
#

Shue, ur a great bud, and i dont wanna argue with ya over it.
The nearest court is 30 minutes away with jungle roads. I'd like to be sure before venturing out. Thats all

#

the prevailing hypothesis is that the assembly line made a mistake with the torque setting on the bolts that go into the hub, so everything can be vibrated loose with enough shock

deep sapphire
umbral moss
#

it's not the wheel side, it's the hub side

#

also, rust will lock the lug nuts just fine haha

paper tusk
#

^ (or expand the lugs to the point where they are annoying. I need to replace 2 lugs because of that, and another one because of prior damage because putting a socket completely down are hard)

That’s a common issue with modern vehicles using cheap shitty 2 piece design

#

I like the flat square chunky fender and the wheels are great too

umbral moss
#

the floating center so the R is always upright is hilarious

#

they actually wasted engineering time on that

sly elk
#

maybe in green

#

good grief

#

I wonder how much $$ they've spent on repairs lol

#

i like how porsche interiors never seem to age either

#

12 year old car with 81k miles and the seat still looks pretty darn good

umbral moss
#

would prefer a rolling body to electrify it pogianger

#

the dream is a dodge viper with a dead engine

sly elk
#

that one's 25k and hmm

umbral moss
#

fitting the EV bobbins in the viper's fuckin YUGE engine bay seems like a dream

sly elk
#

i wonder what these things typically cost to keep on the road lol

umbral moss
#

porsche?

#

pretty expensive, they require above average maintenance schedules and the parts are more expensive because they're imported

#

plus the materials are more limited since porsche doesn't mass produce the cars like a corolla

#

not gonna find 45 million MY 2012 porsches out there

sly elk
#

the maintenance costs are a bit more than a corolla for sure

#

but nothing that horrible

umbral moss
#

repairs

#

lol

#

why are you doing $2700 in damage to the car every year

sly elk
#

i like how it has $2k of repairs every year including the first year

#

I'm wondering the same thing lmao

#

my jeep is almost 3 years old and the only maintenance I've done on it... is 2 oil changes. 5900 miles XD

umbral moss
#

that has to be bodywork

sly elk
#

LOL

#

maybe ripping the bumper off

umbral moss
#

like dents and scratches that need repaint

sly elk
#

from running over a parking curb thingy

umbral moss
#

nah dude, if you repaint a hood that's got a couple nicks in it the whole fuckin hood has to be repainted

#

which is expensive

sly elk
#

because for whatever reason, like 40% of the people who buy low riding sporty sedans do that

#

they run over the parking curb thingy

#

and then they back out and rip the bumper off

umbral moss
#

the body shop told me that I'm better off waiting for the rust to spread on my subie's roof because it would cost the same to paint it now as when it was completely fucked up

sly elk
#

idk

#

i'd paint it anyway because i don't want the whole damn thing to get rusty

umbral moss
#

the rust abatement requires sanding the paint, primer, and rust down, and since they have to do the whole roof to blend it properly it makes no sense to do a spot

sly elk
#

i don't have to worry about this with my jeep ^_^

#

the roof is plastic

#

the hood is aluminum

umbral moss
#

they fucked up with the windshield specifically on my car

sly elk
#

sadness 😦

umbral moss
#

the last time I had it replaced they installed it with a small leak somewhere

sly elk
#

i like how subaru uses 2 cameras for their collision avoidance

#

i also have a soft spot for the old wrx and the brz

umbral moss
#

so it's slowly getting destroyed by rainwater sneaking into the body panels from somewhere near the top driver's side of the windshield

sly elk
#

which subie do you have?

umbral moss
#

sly elk
#

those are nice

umbral moss
#

it's pretty fast

#

turbo 4, manual 6

sly elk
#

sedan or wagon?

umbral moss
#

sedan

sly elk
#

it's funny how much the aesthetics change

umbral moss
#

even though it's functionally a WRX the insurance company doesn't rate it that way

sly elk
#

YAY

umbral moss
#

costs me 1/3 of what a WRX does to insure haha

#

I bet the corolla GR is also mad cheap to insure

sly elk
#

lol

umbral moss
#

because they consider "GR" to be a trim level, not a performance car that should be insured differently

#

it's funny that toyota found their balls again after the current CEO decided he liked motorsports and races competitively

#

you know what, all these grocery getters fuckin suck, let's start making performance cars again

#

although they fucked up the supra and the 86 is kind of ugly after they retired scion šŸ˜”

imagine if they had GM's CEO

aka a camry that has fake vents on it

umbral moss
#

vents in the hood are largely cosmetic anyway

#

they only serve to add increased drag pogianger

sly elk
#

always erred on the side of caution with that

sly elk
#

I mean the vent DOES have a hole in it, but it's small.

odd sand
#

Finally flushed out the airdams for the brakes when I visited my parents. Car washes couldn't get in there, so I used their hose and was able to power it out

#

Probably a couple years of gravel and road grime stuck in the bottom of them

sly elk
#

from a random youtuber

#

that's the bottom of the hood vents on my rubicon xD

#

the hole is just for rainwater to drain onto the hood insulation thing xD

#

it's easy enough to swap the vents out for functional ones and cut holes in the insulation. but idk why bother.

jaunty light
#

i eat curbs all the time when im being careless

#

perks of having side wall bigger than sports car wheels

sly elk
#

i mean, i daily drive a jeep so I can also do that xD

#

but I don't like hitting curbs unless i hit them on purpose

umbral moss
#

driving a jeep is like being on a boat šŸ˜”

#

so spongy

sly elk
#

I kinda like the spongy feeling

umbral moss
sly elk
#

I mean i like cars that are grounded to the ground, too

#

though I don't like the way honda achieves that

#

lol I remember the SI having a bouncy ride

umbral moss
#

the subaru has a fairly stable ride but it dislikes speed bumps because it transfers that shock directly to you

#

WHAM

sly elk
#

what happens if you take a bump from an angle

umbral moss
#

doesn't really affect stability too much

#

but my tires are also sticky as hell

jaunty light
#

get a firm truck

#

although ti doesnt really eliminate roll

#

mine rides soft because stock suspension but because i have leafs and torsion bars offroad is like death

sly elk
#

lol

#

i don't use my jeep for carving canyons so whatever

#

i don't really have a car for that

jaunty light
#

then again I have torn my front end a new asshole by going like 50mph into a dip and it's been completely fine

sly elk

ugh i hit one of those in long beach today

#

i was doing like 22mph and hit a dip at an intersection

#

friggin BAM

(not in the jeep though)

umbral moss
#

I'm a big fan of the potholes that never get fixed in NY

#

even if you draw dicks around them

#

the town just assumes it's a crime scene outline and dutifully ignores them

#

fixing them would require effort and money and that's like, cutting into my skimming off the top

So for whatever reason Cyberpunk 2077 isn't letting me quicksave. I looked up this issue and saw that other people have had similar issues, but theirs was usually that they couldn't save period, for me it's just quicksave, and it's like this regardless of what save file I use.

#

Because their name is on the product and they generally take good care of their titles

#

csgo was ported to Source2 and has a reporting system so ppl can get ppl banned fairly easily

#

TF2 they literally stopped actioning on any reports like 4-5 years ago

#

They're really good in literally all other areas of their business and portfolio ... except for TF2 despite it having consistent numbers for 10+ years now. In fact its actually higher now than it was

#

It used to average 50k and the last period of time it was like 70k even

#

Also they continue to take money for MvM and sell keys for crates and take their cut from that stuff despite basically doing nothing in 5+ years. I think the pyro update was the last time they did anything and even that took forever and was more harm than good

umbral moss
#

valve's weird "nobody has to work on anything they don't want to and there's no managers" command structure makes a game like TF2 very easy to abandon

#

it doesn't have anything sexy about it to put on your yearly review and it doesn't make enough money to justify spending time on it over like, dota or csgo

It's just very uncharacteristic for them to fuck over their customers in TF2 given how much good they do basically everywhere else is all.

#

modest moss
#

I really would have pinned you as an MPC-HC + MadVR person

potent arrow
#

Im practical.

modest moss
#

about the only thing VLC wins at is compatibility and 10bit

potent arrow
#

I produce a lot of video media

modest moss
#

and MPC-HC is compatible af

potent arrow
#

Why do you think I use vlc xD

#

I always get a shit ton of weird encoded videos

modest moss
#

VLC is a backup player

potent arrow
#

and I can trust vlc will work everytime

#

so I can carry it on a usb stick or on my laptop and know on location I can play the video

#

Or the direct network stream

modest moss
#

for your own watching pleasure use something better :(

potent arrow
#

There's nothing wrong with vlc tho

#

it just works

modest moss
#

shit looks better on other things though

potent arrow
#

like what

modest moss
#

MPC-HC, especially if you use MadVR (I don't bother with that but it's the media player equivalent of gshade)

potent arrow
#

and it's not like Im watching fullscreen anyways. Most times when I watch things its in a small window floating because I dont watch things just for bacground nosie

#

yeah

#

Im not like that shue xD

#

Im an audiophile, but for video Im very none picky

modest moss
potent arrow
#

Im still using 1080p 60hz because I dont notice shit

#

Im literally blind as fuck, so visual quality is always out the window for me

modest moss

I only care if it's 1080p minimum LMFAO

otherwise its w/e

modest moss

I forgive you

potent arrow
#

I would fuss mroe about it if my eyes work tbh

or if I watched full screen media

#

you could give me a high refresh fancy 4k monitor and I wont be able to tell

So I gave my UW monitor to a friend, and bought an LG UltraGear 27 inch 4k monitor

#

The perfect size, and I'm not sitting awkwardly from the size of the UW monitor. This is good.

#

Shisui in such high def glory, awwwyeah

modest moss
#

nice gift, and glad you're happy with the new one

hollow hamlet
#

It even has an LED ring in the back that is the cutest rainbow ever

sly elk
#

i like those

#

is it bright though?

hollow hamlet
#

Uhhhhhhhhh, not too bright I don't think, and it can be toggled off

odd sand
hollow hamlet
#

It was uhhhh 34? I think lol

odd sand
#

Really? Usually I consider that to be the good UW width. The 49s are just too impractical

#

I like 4K for work, but for games it just kills your FPS

i sometimes fantasize about getting a pro display xdr

: P I want a neo for more real estate

hollow hamlet

but holy shit those are 3k here

#

half the price of my fucking computer

sly elk
#

o_O

#

yea the neo is hella expensive

potent arrow
#

canaduh

sly elk
#

XD

#

I was thinking my computer didn't cost much more than 3k

#

but i've gotten kinda silly about it lately so it probably has

potent arrow
#

I dont update my computer as frequently so dropping a few grand is w/e

#

Get the best and then let the thing die

#

rinse repeat

sly elk
#

upgrading would still be a lot cheaper than starting from scratch i think

potent arrow
#

after 4 years its meh

#

by then performance of all the parts would be severely outclassed

#

I take the NVME drives and put them in 2.5 enclosures and then shove them into my back server

outer sand
#

have electric piano keyboard, how do I combine this with my PC to use the same external speaker? šŸ¤”

#

and Is it recommended to do this?

#

I also have a pre-amp apparently...

#

never knew, I just remember I bought it around 2013..

#

do I need pre-amp to connect my keyboard and PC to the same speaker?

boreal surge
#

I'm assuming no from my generic understanding of computer peripherals...

graceful pine
#

Run a line out from the preamp into your pc

#

And you’ll need some form of daw

#

And use the line in as input into the daw

#

You’ll probably also need a di unit

#

Since a preamp normally doesn’t have one

#

If anything the preamp isn’t really relevant here

#

That’s for running directly into an amplifier

#

If your going just into a pc use the di signal or midi input to trigger other sounds

#

And the sound going into the daw can then been sent out of that external speaker

#

Or more simply if the keyboard doesn’t have great sounds, can just run into the daw and trigger other sounds(what I do personally with ableton live, but that’s an expensive daw)

#

Now I realize I’ve just been talking in music gear jargon lol and written a mini essay

outer sand
#

ok so preamp is irrelevant yeah

#

hmm not sure about the output of this keyboard, but I bought it pretty cheap like 5 years ago

#

so it's probably a midi output

#

but It has that 1/8 inch output

graceful pine
#

If it’s cheap then it might not have a line out, but if the preamp came with it there probably is

outer sand
#

will something like this work?

#

I mean not exactly like this

#

but 2 male that I connect to my PC and my keyboard

graceful pine
#

Normally line outs are bigger than that

outer sand
#

then there will be another male that I connect to my speaker

graceful pine
#

And to run the sound into your pc you’d need a di unit

#

Now of course the midi output could be used but that’s not the midi connection

#

And the midi output would have to trigger sounds in a daw

outer sand
graceful pine
#

The external speaker in question might have a port for a line out

outer sand
#

What is this? Pre amp yeah? This one isn't useful?

graceful pine
#

Could maybe just run through the preamp into the speaker

#

Bypassing the pc

outer sand
#

Rip do I have to buy another device? -.-

graceful pine
#

If you have the cables you could directly connect to the speaker

#

But the speaker for both you’d need a di unit or midi cable and just get the signal into your pc

outer sand
#

so basically 2 male to both my PC and my midi keyboard that can connect to my male external speaker won't work?

sly elk
#

does your PC have a line-in jack?

outer sand
#

cause there must be a reason why I have this pre-amp... some sort of not enough energy or something...

graceful pine
sly elk

and which kinda keyboard are we talking?

outer sand

electric piano keyboard

graceful pine
#

what brand

sly elk

but which kind

#

yea make/model

graceful pine
#

And can we get some pictures

outer sand

Casio

sly elk

the model can make ahuge difference

graceful pine

Oh a Casio

sly elk
#

some straight up have a usb port

graceful pine
#

Man those are really cheap not sure if they have a line out

outer sand
#

hmm don't think It's on sale anymore, it's pretty old

sly elk
#

that's ok, model # still helps

graceful pine
#

It probably has a usb a port

outer sand
#

no it doesn't have usb yeah

graceful pine
#

Not a usb b

#

But a usb a which is a square hole

outer sand
#

oh yeah it has

#

for the power lol

sly elk
#

that's usb-b

outer sand
#

that can output sound? I never knew

graceful pine
#

Yeah it’s commonly used a midi output

#

I have one for my keyboard

outer sand
graceful pine
#

Just a stereo Jack

#

No line out or usb

outer sand
#

if I need to buy another device, I probably just won't change anything ._.

graceful pine
#

Actually no

sly elk
#

how is your computer plugged into your speakers?

graceful pine
#

It’s a 3.5mm Jack

outer sand
#

3.5mm -> 3.5mm both male

graceful pine
#

Usually a line out is a 6.5 mm Jack

sly elk
#

i mean you can do a few things, then

graceful pine
#

You could connect it directly to the speaker

sly elk
#

^ yep

graceful pine
#

But can’t see anyway to route it through your pc

sly elk
#

you could get a 3.5mm switcher (they exist). You could get 3.5mm to rca cables and buy an a/v switcher as well, same difference.

#

you could also get a mixer box

graceful pine
#

It doesn’t have a midi output it seems that would be the easiest one

sly elk
#

or you can get a cheap usb audio interface that has line-in, and feed the headphone output to that (but can you control the volume on the piano's output?)

graceful pine
#

Could run it through a di unit probably
