[sly elk]

then it totally makes sense

i have a space on another desk for my laptops lol

i used to just keep them under my pc on the stand but that proved to be a giant pain in the ass

but having 2 desks is cheating so

[potent arrow]

You see that switch box?

On top of the red?

[sly elk]

yea

that's your usb switcher yes?

[potent arrow]

It goes to the dock under my monitor

So I can switch to my laptop w/e I need it

[sly elk]

and that's the 34" that comes with the C shaped stand? XD

[potent arrow]

Cheap ass LG that failed

So I fixed it and used it lol

[sly elk]

yay

[potent arrow]

Like I said, utilitarian as fuck

[sly elk]

i guess this dude went stylish-ish

full razer hahaha

[potent arrow]

Ew.

[sly elk]

i like their wireless charger but it costs $60

no way in hell man

[potent arrow]

I have a set of edifers and a hd6xx

[sly elk]

oh yea I rarely see actually stylish on /r/battlestations though

that one's just minimal

i've seen it in /r/macsetups from time to time

[potent arrow]

I refuse to browse macsetups

[sly elk]

compared to /r/battlestations: better desk/workspace variety, worse hardware variety

[potent arrow]

Also an item on their desk is worth like

My entire set up alone

I do want one thing for my desk

But idk where to find one

I want one of those old flip radio clocks

But holy shit

[modest moss]

Sarah did you build my pc yet

[sly elk]

lol here's an example

the desk costs more than most /r/battlestations posts

($3800 with the monitor shelf)

but they don't have any neat sound hardware at all, so there's that

most mac setups aren't all that crazy though. most are probably cheaper than your average /r/battlestations setup

[sly elk]

i would say copious amounts of thrift shop/goodwill searching will get ya one

some goodwills here have a larger electronics section than others

at those, finding an alarm clock like that would probably only take a few visits

[potent arrow]

Not in canada

Building yet another pc
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/9WjH8r

[modest moss]

do mine first ; ;

[potent arrow]

Come to Canada

[modest moss]

it's a long swim and the parts might get wet

I might have to do it myself :(

[sick edge]

tHE SWIMMING OR THE BUILDING?...

[modest moss]

I'll build it

[latent grotto]

Swim to Canada and get some poutine

[sick edge]

Gaining more weight than you lost, solid plan.

[crimson relic]

Is there a solid mmo mouse you guys could recommend for ffxiv?

Hopefully under $100

[agile roost]

razer naga

[hard drift]

another decent one that i personally prefer is the corsair scimitar just because the buttons are textures and i've had bad luck with razer/heard mixed things although it'll all depend on you

[crimson relic]

From what I've read it's between the razer Naga and the g600

[hard drift]

go logitech if those are your options

[crimson relic]

Naga got something bad about it?

[hard drift]

razer quality control is dogshit

[void dove]

id argue logitech's is as well as their warranty department are absolute scam artists

[crimson relic]

[void dove]

but you know, your mileage may vary

[hard drift]

^

[void dove]

i dont touch either of them, after a company burns me i move on to another

[hard drift]

i've heard personally a lot more complaints on razer over the years vs logitech atleast but it all varies

[crimson relic]

How's the corsair hold up.

[hard drift]

pretty decent although with most mice the plastics wear over time which is why i like the textured buttons

my brother uses it regularly still 🙏

[sly elk]

-scrolls up-

I've had logitech and now razer lol 😄 never owned a corsair mouse

logitech used to have amazing CS and would just send you new replacements if your old stuff broke

I think both their quality and CS have been coasting real hard the last 5 or 10 years

kinda like apple was back in 2018 or so

at the height of the butterfly keyboard BS

naaais

[potent arrow]

CHRIST

thats like a whole student loan

Why would anyone want that many

Pfft hahahahaha

[jaunty light]

pulled a sarah and nicked my thumb with my sharpest knife 😔

[sly walrus]

👍

[royal forge]

Regarding the talk with Logitech

I think it very much depends on the model u buy

I still have my mx518

Which succeded my G400S that lasted... 5 years?

But havin tried some of their headphones

I think they should just stick with Mouse and keyboards

Maybe I picked a bad pair, but it looked so gamer-y

[sly elk]

hehe

i like their mice and that's about it

and if it lasts more than 3 years that's good enough for me

[royal forge]

Does anyone here have experience with 3D modelling and animation?

I wanna pick their brains on the impact of CPU, GPU and RAM on subjective stuff

like, load times, performance in general and sims

blender has a database containing info on stuff like render times

but i want to know about other stuff

[odd sand]

Probably better off visiting an actual gamedev discord for that

[potent arrow]

: P for 3D stuff gpu impact is pretty heavy.
For 2D animation, blender, sims etc pretty much cpu

[royal forge]

Is there a suggested CPU for 3D work? like gotta be a i9 or smthng like that?

what features should I look out for, in particular

if i'm using blender

any suggested RAM amount? and don't say "the more the better"

[odd sand]

More cores the better and more cache the better and lots of ram

If you are just learning 32gb is probably acceptable. If you are getting more serious, 64gb. Very serious as a consistent hobby? More is more. 128gb+

AMD excels on that front since they like pushing more total cores than Intel most of the time.

[royal forge]

i was wonderin if blender would benefit from a stronger single core or multiple cores

AMD has me... a bit worried

[odd sand]

The CPUs are always solid, it's just the GPUs that have been sus for awhile now

Dunno if upcoming Intel or AMD will be better since they are approaching from different angles.

Supposedly AMD 7000 series will be 16c32t whereas Intel is going with the P/E core split for 8+16c32t

And the promise of really crazy amounts of cache on the AMD with the 3d vcache

[potent arrow]

: P my 3900x does fine for the fluid sims I have to do for school

And I've done plenty of physics sims in blender and other programs

Although my 3060ti does some of that work too

[void dove]

blender has tile based rendering, which splits parts of the render into individual sections (tiles) and sends them to a single CPU core each, so does extremely well on a high core count CPU,
this is why AMD CPUs have been very sought after for rendering work since Zen1 came out

while Intel has caught up to AMD in terms of performance (5960x vs a i9 12900k) where intel loses, is efficiency, the intel chews through double the power vs the AMD

so you will pay more on the power bill, AND possibly need to buy a chunkier power supply to handle it

[jaunty light]

don't let hank hear you say that

[odd sand]

Yeah I'm mildly concerned about if I get the 13900K and I have a 3080, will the 850 still be good or should I jump to 1000w. Especially if upcoming GPUs are supposedly going to be power monsters

[jaunty light]

i like sitting at 50% util at peak so i sized to a 1300

if I had to guess I only pull 500w at most under max (normal) scenarios so the 850 would still be fine

[odd sand]

I don't think that would even fit in my current case. I barely get the modular cables into place with the 850 as it is

I should really do it with the bent needlenose pliers from now on

[jaunty light]

i don't have a photo but i think the 1300 and 850 seasonics i have are same size

[sly elk]

yea that saddens me

if the new cpus run hotter than my 9700k i'm going to have to get a new case

[jaunty light]

6.7 x 6 x 3.4 inches TX850
5.91 x 6.69 x 3.39 inches 1300PD

[sly elk]

because this one already gets louder than I would like 😦

[jaunty light]

the corsair ones that are 1 kW are super long for some reason

[sly elk]

nah

i think that part is greatly exaggerated?

[jaunty light]

hx1200 is a good 2 inches longer than my 1300w somehow

[sly elk]

i went from a 750 g3 to an rm1000x and the size difference wasn't really noticeable

ok yea that I can believe

[jaunty light]

6.6 vs 8

[deep sapphire]

6.9

[jaunty light]

oh on that note do you have a tray that slides out, that was a good 100% of my problems with every other case

these days I can connect the cables with psu half in then seat it

[deep sapphire]

I already fixed it

[jaunty light]

inb4 breaks again with your 3 out of 10 quality repair

[deep sapphire]

I said fuck over the radio

Don’t you smugger me

[jaunty light]

[royal forge]

Ye, but Sarah, you know I have a bit of PTSD with AMD now. But maybe dealin with them directly would be a better experience i guess

[royal forge]

Wdym by sus? Just harder to get or?

[royal forge]

AH. I see. But if I also wanna do fluid sims, i'll need powerful single cores right?

DDR5 is still a meme/pie in the sky ye?

Or is it just that my local sellers wanna clear their ddr 4 stock?

[paper tusk]

I don't consider ddr5 ready for prime time yet (decent latency 32gb kit is 400 buckazoids)

[royal forge]

Ye

I was just..checkin prices

It was..

Ridiculous

Like, it costs HOW much for 32GB?!

[jaunty light]

gotta see if nextgen splits support again or if they go ddr5 only

[royal forge]

5600Mhz too

RGB was another 10% more or smthn

I flinched at the prices for some pc parts

[jaunty light]

ye I wanna go 64 or 128 but not for $2000

[royal forge]

Brb sellin kidney

Maybe i can afford two nanoleaves

Or maybe an 8GB DDR5 stick

[jaunty light]

you can afford the big rgb panel wall

[royal forge]

Bold of u to assume i can afford it

[jaunty light]

god gave you two kidneys for this moment

[void dove]

Not sure tbh, depends on how well it works with multithreading I guess

[sly elk]

tray that slides out? 😮

i would expect the O11 is the easiest to deal with power supplies

[jaunty light]

well not really a tray.. but rear loading instead of from inside the case

[sly elk]

that tray is a fan filter?

[jaunty light]

terrible photo that's just the dust filter yea

[sly elk]

that doesn't look like the psu comes out the rear

[jaunty light]

the plate for the psu you take off and put the psu in, then use the screws

[sly elk]

yikes

[jaunty light]

the case plate..

the meshify was the same system iirc

[sly elk]

on mine the psu just goes in sideways lol

from my pic before 😄

that vertical support thing is removable too

I just never bothered because I didn't need to

yea this is all reminding me why having a dual chamber like the o11d is really nice

[potent arrow]

you just bought from a shitty laptop vendor, dont blame the chipset lol

[sly elk]

pc building on easy mode

i wonder how fast I could throw together something in an o11d lol

[jaunty light]

oops I actually think the C had it but not the 4000d its still internal load tf

[sly elk]

someone at work bought a 7000d for a project

i was pleasantly surprised how nice that case is

[jaunty light]

better than expected for how cheap they are

i just needed clearance for the 3090

[sly elk]

?

[jaunty light]

had a meshify c before, wouldn't fit a strix 3090

[sly elk]

oh yea those corsair cases are nice

they're not really cheap

oh actuallym, 104 for a 4000d

how's the quality on it?

on the 7000d the door felt really substantial and was on hinges, I was surprised

[jaunty light]

good but has some cheap bullshit

[sly elk]

can you take the drive bays in front of the psu out?

[jaunty light]

fewer 2.5in cages, the front panel only has 1 usbA

[sly elk]

that seems like it'd be the biggest obstacle to the psu

[jaunty light]

yea you can do that and slide it forward a little bit

[sly elk]

i'm amazed they did that when they know how big their own PSUs are lmao

meh, hard to ask for much for something that is currently on sale for $95

[jaunty light]

+All panels or dust filters are easy to remove and reattach as needed. The system to attach the side panels is particularly nice as they won't fall off if the screws are not tightened. +Interior has plenty of room for nearly any setup. The cable routing system is very simple and having the ties pre-installed makes it even more of a breeze. Cuts for cable routing are thoughtfully placed for minimal visibility and ease of use. +Two cuts are made in the PSU shroud for light strip cable routing at the bottom of the case. Great attention to detail. +You can move the HDD cage closer to the front if you need more clearance for the PSU/cables. +Price is pretty good, though keep in mind its limited front-panel USB and stock fans.

that was the pluses I put on my review last year

[sly elk]

i'm still miffed about how janky the fractal focus case i bought my brother was

that said, $50 mid tower

my hopes weren't terribly high for $50

and frankly even then, it was overpriced. ,and I think i paid 65 for it.

the metal was seriously flimsy

[jaunty light]

one annoyance is that the front panel shroud for cables is really hard to fit the strimer into, if you take it off the case is ugly as shit

leave it on and you get like 1 inch of strimer visible

[sly elk]

hahhahaha

hahahhhahhaha

I feel so conflicted about strimer cables

[jaunty light]

the 5000d has 2 USBA and the 7000D has 4 on same header cable tho so if u care about that

[sly elk]

they filled in a big blank space in my case beautifully

and for the $$ I definitely didn't feel ripped off, they're really nice pieces of kit

but I don't understand how they are so popular

especially in builds where as you point out, if you route your cables as intended, you'll barely have any visible

I've seen a few builds where someone had a GPU like 1" above the bottom of their case

they ran the strimer cables straight down, so you saw like.. half an inch of the RGB

and the rest was laying against the bottom of the case

[jaunty light]

yea had I known i had zero clearance I'd have not got one

[sly elk]

luckily my case has jack shit for cable management

so I had a lot of freedom on how to run them

[jaunty light]

wheres my wireless power

my triple 8 pins just lay on the bottom of my case

[sly elk]

also one sad victim of rgb becoming very popular

was nobody tries doing accent colors anymore

just all-white or white/black

[jaunty light]

thats what ur gundam mobos or eva are for!

i prefer all black over how it used to be

at a certain price point u got a poo brown PCB

ultra high end was black.. mid end was blue.. maybe red

[sly elk]

there was a while where high end was blue

[jaunty light]

and then you had biostar

hold my beer

[sly elk]

DFI LANPARTY

[jaunty light]

oh yea I think around teh x58 days blue as pretty common between gigabyte and asus

[sly elk]

and the glow-in-the-dark lego gigabyte boards hehe

[jaunty light]

then asus started doing that sabertooth shit, and gigabyte had the G1 SNIPER GAMER ASSAULT MOTHERBOARD

[sly elk]

I do remember some oef these having uv reactive plastic

haha old asus boards were 'gold'

[jaunty light]

i still like the designaire boards gigabyte made

[sly elk]

YES

those were pretty

the a7n8x. at the time everyone was like BUY ASUS NOTHING ELSE

friend asked for parts recommendations

i parroted that stupid board

his was a lemon

someone should try bringing back green mobos

it's funny how in the grand scheme of history, green mobos .. were not all that popular

most of the 286/386/486 era stuff that I remember was that gold color above

there were some companies that made green boards during the p1/p2/p3 era, and by p4 everyone was doing blue

[jaunty light]

almost all of the ancient hardware I touch are gold PCB so I wonder if that was just the easiest thing to fab

[sly elk]

maybe

yea green is surprisingly uncommon even though it was the stereotypical color

[jaunty light]

and then there's like new school green and old school green

[sly elk]

you mean like

[jaunty light]

yea old green PCBs are like, also tinged yellowish?

[sly elk]

HEHE

my first new pc had something like that one

[jaunty light]

or just different shades entirely not the stereotypical ever..green

[sly elk]

OH

msi red

I completely forgot about those

msi made red motherboards

those are probably by far the rarest

[jaunty light]

mm yeah baby nice and red too

[sly elk]

yea there were red radeons but i don't believe those were terribly common either

all of the radeons I had were blue

haha i totally forgot about the red pcbs

[jaunty light]

the weird thing about the iceq that his made were they were blue and green

[sly elk]

those tabs

it's probably because the tabs have no layers inside

usually there'd be a layer of something right underneath the top layer and that makes it look darker

[jaunty light]

i wanna say all the factory ATI cards were red pcb tho

[sly elk]

fair enough, but it was still extremely rare to get a red motherboard

[jaunty light]

at least up until the 5000

[sly elk]

there was also purple

[jaunty light]

the 48702 was black but the 4870 4850 etc were red

excuse me where do I buy this

[sly elk]

ECS amde a few purple boards

i think they were trying to get in on the gamer action

but ecs always had a bad rep hahah

that one you're pointing at is an amiga board

those are custom small quantity things

[jaunty light]

i'd buy something with a purple pcb

[sly elk]

amiga revivals are so weird

in the 2000s someone tried to do a powerpc revival

i think they gave up on that and went back to making replicas of the original

[jaunty light]

oh no their promo shit tho

[sly elk]

yea I see nothing newer than the days when nv400 was a chipset lmao

EW

POOP BROWN

hehe, soyo dragon. there's a name i haven't heard in forever

[deep sapphire]

Is that your selfie

[sly elk]

idk if that's the one, but someone made a shiny silver board at some point

[jaunty light]

i am generic fantasy dude wearing a helmet who may or may not be from.. what's that game..

titan quest?

[deep sapphire]

I remember that game

[royal forge]

I also blame @deep sapphire for brain washing me on AMD

i should pick a new avatar but i like my avatar so whatever

2 cables, daisy chaining can cause problems sometimes

Yeah you can use a 2 headed cable and leave one of the 2 connectors dangling

It’s fine

It looks annoying but it’s fine

yeah 😔

[deep sapphire]

Lmao the guy I bought my truck from put some junkyard drive shaft on it and the shop can’t find a replacement u joint for it, on top of that he said the vibrations were causing a tail house leak that was pretty good so that’s nice

Hopefully I didn’t burn up any clutch packs in the transmission

Can’t wait for a nice 1200 dollar bill

rawr i forgot one thing last night when we were talking about logitech vs razer

the logitech models that have a free spinning wheel use an optical rotary encoder

[dull garnet]

i loved that wheel on my mx master

more fun than any game

also i let my mouse install drivers and

[sly elk]

at least in my experience with razer so far, the viper ultimate I have just uses a regular mechanical encoder

[dull garnet]

i have da viper 8k

shit is so cache

[potent arrow]

I love the fact that this isnt a case of duplicate processes, rather completely different processes entirely

[dull garnet]

yeah...

[potent arrow]

Why does the mouse need like

[dull garnet]

the mouse does save settings to itself so i could uninstall them now but still

[potent arrow]

8 proceses

[dull garnet]

7 are for rgb

[potent arrow]

what the fuck?

[dull garnet]

i'm joking, but probably

anyway i turned the lighting off after amusing myself with the sound activated setting

[sly elk]

yea I never installed the razer crap

but there's a downside to this

every time i unplug/plug in the dock or the dongle

it pops open the installer for razer's software lol

[dull garnet]

if i do a clean windows install it prompts a driver install lol

[potent arrow]

...

Is it fetching from the net or is it preloaded on the dongle?

I wonder if you could theoretically purge it from the dongle

[dull garnet]

net

[potent arrow]

Love it.

[dull garnet]

its like when it pulls nvidia drivers

which are already 6 months old

[potent arrow]

I never had issues with windows update service

[dull garnet]

real helpful windows. but ofc i just dl them prior to wipe now and install before i plug net back in

[potent arrow]

but nvidia and shit I always get their update directly

[dull garnet]

p much

nvidia is the main issue, and i'll grab amd chipset drivers directly too

[potent arrow]

intel driver's seem to be fine however

Oh bios I grab directly too

[dull garnet]

not like this amd bros...

[deep sapphire]

Fuckin Amazon I ordered 2 SAE socket holders they send me metric then want me to return them and wait a week for a replacement

I just can’t win with delivery drives hell I ordered pizza earlier and they wrote my address down wrong

[sly elk]

It’s not surprising they mixed up metric and sae though

I wouldn’t be surprised if they just grabbed whatever lol

Yeah but what makes it even worse is it wasn’t even the right color I ordered red they gave me black

[potent arrow]

@hard drift

It's time

It's time to fix it

[deep sapphire]

…

Maybe Amazon isn’t at fault here

Unless that’s an Amazon label

[latent grotto]

The question is who you bought it from on amazon

Cuz Amazon really just handles shipping

[deep sapphire]

HOW DO YOU FUCK UP THIS BAD, THE STICKER IS NOT THE SAME DRIVE OR UNIT

[latent grotto]

I remember buying a rice cooker on amazon

And I got 2 rice cookers

[deep sapphire]

Lmao

[odd sand]

They don't look, they don't have time to look. They just go to the bucket they're told to grab from. Now if you're unlucky the bucket is mislabeled and asking for another will be another Metric

[latent grotto]

Was really confused when I saw the box cuz it was huge

And I was like "did I buy an industrial size rice cooker or something"

[odd sand]

Amazon pickers have like 15 secs per item or something silly like that

[latent grotto]

I returned one of the rice cookers

[deep sapphire]

I get that but I don’t have a lot of free time either and my tool drawer for my sockets is a mess. Finding any good socket holders from big box stores is a headache

I just hate shopping let’s go with that

[odd sand]

I'm wondering if I should buy the watercooling components now, like on Prime Day or something or wait for closer to fall. I'm afraid there will be a run on that stuff later when the new CPUs drop

[deep sapphire]

Maybe you’ll get my socket holders instead

[odd sand]

I suppose I could email them to confirm the CPU waterblock will work for Raptor Lake

We have a huge video going up today. Heads-up: There is one error in it. We accidentally referred to a triceratops skull as a tyrannosaurus skull. We sincerely apologize to the cretaceous Hadrosaur and its family for the error. (Yes, this is related to computers).

also WD SN850s getting the PlayStation branding

[hard drift]

Does that really have a blue led…

Also do heatsinks even fit the ps5??? I could’ve swore it had an integrated one with the shell

[sharp star]

yes

[sharp star]

and yes

[hard drift]

How would you even see the led lol

The chassis would cover it

[sharp star]

exactly

[hard drift]

What a waste smh

[sharp star]

which is why I buy the naked version and get a non-RGB heatsink

[hard drift]

Yeah

[odd sand]

So you can pay 30% less* for the same non-branded one?

[hard drift]

30% less you mean :p

Sony brand drives it up for sure

[odd sand]

Heatsinks work in the PS5 as long as they are thin ones like 3mm thick. If you get those wacky 15mm thick then no

[hard drift]

But i like my thick heatsink

Keep my ssd nice and cool

[latent grotto]

just cut a hole in the shell

[hard drift]

[latent grotto]

what

your problem is solved

you're welcome

[sly elk]

haha WTF

I finally gave in and bought that cablematters displayport kvm

and they had the kvm itself for $125 or a bundle with a couple usb-c dongles for $117*

in my invoice the bundle is actually the separate items

and they shipped them separately, too!

[modest moss]

I think mine is just the newer version

[hard drift]

yeah but the older version of it or atleast the non b maybe was the shit one

monitor naming is ass so i don't recall

[modest moss]

I read something about a production issue where they needed to change factory/country

[hard drift]

yeah i'm pretty sure that's why my monitor originally got delayed since it uses an LG panel

[modest moss]

https://uk.creative.com/p/speakers/creative-stage-v2

tell me that this will make my LG TV sound better

[hard drift]

i mean tv speakers usually sound pretty eh, so it probably will

i personally like some of creatives stuff, currently using their x3 dac/amp still and it's pretty good

[hard drift]

i personally would go for the stage 360 just because of dolby atmos but it can't be that bad hopefully

but it's sadly 100 pound extra

there's a code to get the V2 for £75 too

[modern iris]

any recommendations for a good mmo mouse?

[hard drift]

#technology-discussion message there aren't too many out there really but this will give you an idea based on what was asked earlier

if you want to "fancier" you also have the steelseries aerox 9 which is wireless but it's newer and has the hole shell if that matters and more expensive

[modern iris]

are all of them customizable, can i use shift + the mouse buttons

[hard drift]

umm i actually have no idea on that one @sly elk any idea?

i imagine you can but never thought to try lol

[modern iris]

i would like to minimize the button load on my keyboard cause i use a laptop

that is why i need it to be customizable

if your house was built after the 80s building code requires GFI outlets in all bathrooms and water sources

https://tenor.com/view/danny-lee-super-kazuya-kazuya-gachimuchi-gachi-gif-22029354

its literally illegal to have a house built without GFI outlets near any water source, that includes kitchen sinks, utility sinks, bathrooms etc.

[odd sand]

If it doesn't have the little Reset test button on it its not GFCI

Like this, or some have a test and reset button

[potent arrow]

iirc the code is that you have to have one

but not all of them have to be

mm nvm
Class A GFCI outlets must be installed on all receptacles within 1.5 meters of a sink, tub or shower stall

lol

oh no nvm im right

if the receptacle is downstream of a GFCI its alright

But generally that one itself has to be GFCI

because its the closest to the sink

[odd sand]

There's a GFCI on the end of my island and it trips randomly even with nothing connected to it

Sometimes it will go 1-2 weeks, other times it trips 2-3x in one day

[potent arrow]

Theres probally an outlet thats on the same GFCI circuit

thats causing it to trip

[odd sand]

As I said, nothing is connected to them unless the insinkerator counts

[potent arrow]

lmfao nothing OFFICIALLY is connected

those are called GFI not GFCI

but they can be used interchangeably

iirc

[odd sand]

My parents got a whole home surge protection installed when they got a new main breaker box to the house a few years ago

[potent arrow]

Im not a liscenced electrician however, just a dumb ass who does home stuff

technically they did it right

technially

[odd sand]

Was built in 72 so was like 45yo when they did it

[potent arrow]

I guess it works shinon

[odd sand]

Friends in Monterey when they got theirs rewired the breaker box was from like the 50s and no GFCI in the entire house lol

[potent arrow]

lmfao

[odd sand]

The circuit was like ... 12A? for the kitchen? something stupidly low

[potent arrow]

I was trying to figure out why my friends pc kept shutting off

and the socket in their room was tied to a gfci in the washroom below

[odd sand]

They had to run an extension cord for their kettle or it would trip the breaker

[potent arrow]

ugh

[odd sand]

As I said, eventually they dropped a few grand to get the kitchen and bathroom rewired and added a 240V to the garage for their EV

There was a sink in the closet of the master bedroom

It wasnt even a walkin closet, it was only like 3ft deep

[potent arrow]

have fun reseting everything all day

[sly elk]

Sounds like my ducking house

There’s two panels

And only the newer circuits have grounded outlets

I just scolded the landlord into replacing 2 because they were ducking burned

smh

if you have to pay rent for features, whose car is it exactly?

as usual the people in charge of companies that make things don't understand the economies of intangibles

aside from a few exceptions (like IBM mainframes), there's no place where you're being charged to 'unlock' functionality that is already there

tesla's been on my shit list for a long time

smarthome things? in those cases you're paying for the service and the continued development though

even if the need for the service to exist is extremely dubious

but honda link is the whole remote start/unlock from your phone, right?

that still requires infrastructure

yea I think that's a fair ask

connected car stuff is funky lol

in our cadillac the head unit runs android and very obviously has stuff it pulls off the internet and we don't even pay for internet service for it

like

it has spotify

and doesn't require you to pay for internet service to use it lmao

i'm actually surprised about it

yea the hotspot thing costs $$

i had it on my jeep for a couple years because there was a special online where you could get it for $15/mo

and it uses AT&T and has a much larger antenna than the one on my phone

so I let my phone use wifi calling hahahha

no dropouts

it was great

stopped the service when the jeep was sitting in my driveway all week going nowhere

yea it's kinda funny

my jeep doesn't have internet service atm either and it can still download ota updates

funny how gm and chrysler are basically giving smart features for free while bmw is trying to charge for basic shit

the ota updates don't include map updates

those cost money bwahahah

interestingly gm uses an sd card for the maps

i mean there's further oddness about it all 😄

on gm the screen and the computer are 2 separate units, computer sits under the seat

the chrysler one is an all-in-one unit

I have to give props to GM here

you can replace the computer to update between generations

the chrysler ones are kinda-sorta-interchangeable but not really. in fact, officially, it's not supported at all to swap the radio

like they have 3 factory unit options on the jeeps

if you go from 7" to 8.4", no support

and there are config file changes that need to be done on the car computer to enable all the features of the 8.4"

[odd sand]

I wish I could even spend money on it. For my Stinger there literally are no map updates available

Even though at this point I find a solid 20% of all the speed limits appear to be wrong bc they've got a hardon for lowering residential speeds by 5-10mph lately

Even way the fuck out of town in a rural area in spots it will be marked as 35mph now 🤔

[sly elk]

lol

[odd sand]

eg: Completely separated highway with sound deflection walls, speed limit 40mph 🤦‍♀️

[sly elk]

yea that happened with the stuff in our cadillac, which is funny because it shows speed limits in the cluster

speaking of that....

the camry my bro rented

it had speed limits in the cluster, but no GPS maps!

[odd sand]

This section is 30mph even

Needless to say, basically nobody follows the limits in these areas

Wait a second... is the dealership fucking stupid? I notice there's actually a website for nav updates

https://update.kia.com/US/EN/updateNoticeView/758/pop2

Need to find an SDcard to format for it. I wonder where they even have an SDcard reader in the car ... you can;'t just use a USB memory storage?

LOL its literally there? Wut.

[sly elk]

hehe

[odd sand]

Welp I dont have an SDcard reader I can find anymore so this will have to wait. I can probably borrow one from my friend

My old 2010 laptop still has one builtin but I havent powered that up in like 3-4 years bc it has a cracked screen

[potent arrow]

I used to use old digital camera for this whenever I lost my fucking SD card reader

Most of them had a formatting software built in

And I can use USB to camera as an SD interface

Actually the most scuffed thing, but worked well

[dull garnet]

i just have one of these. have so many devices that use micro sd lol

[odd sand]

That's true, I could try putting it in my DSLR and connecting that to my PC

Cross my fingers on using the SDcard that came with the car. I suppose I can always copy off the existing map data on the card just in case. Assuming the camera doesn't immediately ask to format the card to read it

I'm just kinda annoyed two different Kia dealers said there were no map updates available when there's a fucking website for it AND you can pay to get the update shipped pre-installed on an SDcard for like $25 if you want

How do they not know these things

[potent arrow]

My Sony cams don't auto format

I can just hit cancel : P

[odd sand]

I have an A65 so I assume that will be the case as well

[potent arrow]

Yep

[sly elk]

yea but those sd card readers are cheap ^^

is XPG

a decent brand

6000 mhz memory

[royal forge]

250USD

That used to get me a half decent cpu

Christ. DDR5 is nuts

[kindred brook]

https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Vengeance-2x16GB-PC5-41600-1-25V/dp/B09NCPTVX5

actually

this is pretty decent

no frills

180

I wonder whats the sweetspot for ddr5

DDR4 36000

3600*

[paper tusk]

that'll work fine but the speed and latency isn't the greatest

I dont know anything about am5 memory controller so make a prediction about what the next specs sweet spot is

[kindred brook]

what about the XPG memory

[paper tusk]

I suspect it'll be 5600 or 6000, depending on how much money someone wants to piss away

[kindred brook]

hmmm

[royal forge]

Why piss away?

Actually, sorry, i'm very uninformed on this

The ram speeds, do they make a huge diff?

Like e.g. 5600 vs 6k

it's cough up money time

almost double the asking price

[real edge]

still feels too early for ddr5

[kindred brook]

the XPG is 249

[paper tusk]

I dont know if the difference will result in app performance either

xpg isn't a brand I'm familiar with

is intel cool with supporting sockets

for next gen

like will the z690 work with 13 series

probably only take an hour or two when I actually get to it, but ugh effort

have you checked temps and done clean driver install?

can also help to reseat it

[odd sand]

I don't think we're gonna hit the sweetspot for DDR5 for another 1-2 years. Probably DDR5-6400 eventually.

This happens on startup

@potent arrow Copying the map data over via my camera now. But the battery was dead and I only charged it to 20% so hopefully it holds out until the download is done

Hmm Corsair is recommending the XD3 for me not the XD5 ... is it bc they dont think I'd have room for the XD5 reservoir with the front-mount of the rad and fans? Also why not top-mount the fans and rad then? https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Hydro-Pump-Reservoir-Combo/dp/B08JQK6Q4T/

Corsair 570X

[dull garnet]

[potent arrow]

A9 for actual work and A6000 for adventures

cuz the a6000 can eat a fuck ton of shit and I dont sweat

there is a video somewhere where I taped the poor a6000 to a dune buggy

[odd sand]

Yeah I'm sure its out there. I'm just noticing the config wizard on Corsair's site recommends the XD3 which has a tiny reservoir like an AIO

Seems like if you have a regular ATX board its recommended to front mount or you won't have room for the tubes off the CPU

Rad+Push fans is right up against the edge of an ATX board in that case

Which will limit how you route the tubes off teh CPU or make it less elegant

That has a 360+fans in the front and a 240+1 fan on the top

Ah that's probably why if they say it only takes a 240 on top that would be why

The wizard recommends a rear 120mm but I think they just want to upsell me on more shit bc I don't have a GPU waterblock so I dunno what that would be for

Bc I can't imagine a CPU requiring more than 360mm without extreme OC

Base for 13900K is 125, but I think ppl said it could max near 250-270

I have a 3080 but its not part of the waterblock

angle grinder would be better wym

I found a desk mount plate with Versa 100mm for my monitor that supports two monitors, but it’s only rated to hold 18 pounds on each mount. My monitor is 16.9 pounds. Is that pushing too close to the limit?

[dull garnet]

Nah I bet that's fine

If anything I imagine they would advertise under capacity

[hollow hamlet]

Just concerned if I should get the base desk without the mount and get a vivo mount rated for 22 pounds or not. I dunno what brand that one is that’s included lol

[hard drift]

I mean up to you, what’s cheaper

[potent arrow]

fucking

REGEX

[hollow hamlet]

It’s about the same price I just dunno if 17 pounds on an 18 pound rated mount would stress it

[dull garnet]

[potent arrow]

WHY DO I HAVE A REGEX EPRESSION 20 OPERATIONS IN

Go for a better mount then

Amazon prime day has pretty good deals on PC parts. Would recommend people to check it out

Feel free to ask me any pc related questions

[modest moss]

I'd like to ask you why on earth @tame fulcrum is the way he is

[hollow hamlet]

Why are all the pc parts “too big” to fit in an Amazon locker? I ain’t risking ordering this stuff to be lost because it’s left on the porch

Even the cpus and I know those are tiny boxes.

[minor finch]

Uh.. I never used Amazon lockers before. They just like to put it box within boxes xD

Just the pc cases and Gpu, 360 rad have big boxes.

[boreal surge]

Tbh why aren’t post offices delivery locations now that you mention it?

They can basically act similarly to the front desk of managed apartments, hold packages till right person comes

And if they don’t come they literally can ship it back from there/have infrastructure in place to handle auction of abandoned stuff

[hollow hamlet]

I haven’t encountered any apartment complex who assumes responsibility for your package. They refuse drop offs at all the ones I’ve lived at c_X

Fair enough, I think I meant something more like the mail room in college dorms

[kindred brook]

Whats the standard for DDR5

the equivalent of DDR 3600

[minor finch]

7200 CL 36

[kindred brook]

wow

those are quite expensive

[minor finch]

Very expensive

[kindred brook]

I don't think those are even out yet

why tf is the standard so expensive lol

[minor finch]

You have to do extreme overclock

Current ddr5 world record is 10Ghz or 10000

[kindred brook]

what

where do I find

DDR5 7200

Lol

[minor finch]

Pretty much non existent

This is why I only recommend ddr4 right now

[kindred brook]

well that's a bust

I'll just keep my 6700k running then

till ddr5 is more affordable

[minor finch]

Probably be a lot better after AMD Zen 4 is out.

[kindred brook]

Nah I'm on team blue

@deep sapphire TEAM BLUE

[minor finch]

It’s just Zen4 current rumors is DDR5 only

[kindred brook]

I thought it was leaked zen4 is also ddr4

[minor finch]

Which will force manufacturers to speed up the process

Yea both have been rumored

Hard to say

[kindred brook]

I'll just hold off another year with upgrading my CPU and mobo then

[minor finch]

DDR5 was rumored first but received a lot of anger which might made amd rethink

[kindred brook]

Thanks

just canceled my z690 lol

motherboard purchase

[hard drift]

it's not rumors, it's confirmed by amd
