[real edge]

yeah its sus

their cards are cheaper here as well

makes me wonder

[royal forge]

Ye.. i wonder if its cuz Zotac is a more... ?asian brand?

I dont actually know their origin

Ah Zotac is HK

[real edge]

yeah

so, china (sort of)

[royal forge]

All of Zotac’s products are manufactured and produced in Dongguan, China.

Welp

I think Asus has a factory in.... Taiwan?

@YouTubeCreators Hey guys, can you please fix this? This is a product review of a video card. Why on earth are you restricting its visibility? You're hurting the video performance and consumer awareness for something which is fully suitable for all ages - https://t.co/IaBjhohNJF

YouTube trying to protect tech giants?

[potent arrow]

Whats fucking new

[modest moss]

MS trying to push me onto 11 already

nah group policy editor innit

[latent grotto]

You can just decline to upgrade

[modest moss]

it was making the windows update thing look ugly

do your windows features go as well as your pc buying?

[latent grotto]

but there's no reason to run 11 atm

[modest moss]

every time something goes wrong in windows we should all ping ice

[latent grotto]

I'll ping ice when I upgrade to 11

[modest moss]

so you basically work on the things I uninstall/disable, pog

[latent grotto]

Can we please have the windows search just do only local searches

I dont fucking need to see shit on bing

Can I just break it

[modest moss]

shouldn't need 3rd party apps to control basic OS functionality

[latent grotto]

I dont understand why there isn't a setting for this tho

[hard drift]

gotta collect that user information

[latent grotto]

I mean what

[hard drift]

[latent grotto]

Always has been

[hard drift]

i don't use google except for youtube and even then, i try and avoid it

alphabet is an awful company and has been involved in controversy a lot over the years lol

apple but i can tell things not to track me

[modest moss]

What an awful response, whataboutism at its finest

Other corps are shitty so it doesn't matter if we're shitty too

[hard drift]

[modest moss]

Shame on you

Mute him bidori

[hard drift]

wtf am i supposed to do lmao you're the tech mentor

[latent grotto]

get promoted then mute him

[hard drift]

i refuse

[modest moss]

Hack my account, prove you're the prophesied successor

[latent grotto]

[hard drift]

🤢 no thanks

[odd sand]

Isn't there a setting? I only get local searches

[latent grotto]

none that ik of

[odd sand]

I dunno, maybe I did this then? https://www.howtogeek.com/224159/how-to-disable-bing-in-the-windows-10-start-menu/

[sly elk]

aw but then you won't have the chance to use Edge to view the bing search results

[wide hill]

was going trough meta store support to be able to get a replacement cable for my rift s, only for them to almost dismiss the ticket by responding it like this https://img.thaun.dev/z8r9p.png

it's almost a year ago since windows 11 was released, why does they still not officially support it

i don't even have an HDR monitor

nah, it's the issue where the "displayport signal not found"

not sure what the issue for that answer is though

https://img.thaun.dev/937k4.png

[sharp star]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN8ZAf15DrM

[sly elk]

sounds like the resolution is buying another displayport cable lol

[wide hill]

yeah, and did you know, it maybe i don't know, but it's an optical cable.

[hard drift]

yeah the cables aren't cheap

[hard drift]

only x8 pcie lanes

[wide hill]

sad part, you can't even buy it on the store without going trough support

something broken?

https://img.thaun.dev/p4mcn.png

good luck

[hard drift]

it's because they stopped making the rift S 😭 so now you are stuck with their stupid data collection VR

[hard drift]

https://www.aliexpress.com/i/2255800375276214.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt they have it on aliexpress

but it's still expensive 😔

[wide hill]

oh yeah i know they have it

i am just praying that i could get a decent price trough official means

[hard drift]

how long have you had the headset?

[hard drift]

it wouldn't be much better, that's about what the cables originally cost lol

and since they stopped making the S i doubt they'll have cables for much longer 😔

[wide hill]

i ordered it on 2019-09-19

[hard drift]

ah yeah, way too far out for warranty sake

[wide hill]

yup

[sharp star]

lmao AliExpress

The only time I'd bother with it is if I went through with a cringe build

[hard drift]

the cables/headset was discontinued

it's pretty much the only option

[sharp star]

yeah I know but it's like

yeah

[hard drift]

could do amazon from a 3rd party for 150

[wide hill]

but, support agent didn't seem to say that the cable was discontinued yet

and even their support page has "replacement cable" option

cause they just asked about my invoice information etc.

[hard drift]

it was out of stock even when they were still making the headset

i don't think they planned on supporting it long after the quest/quest 2 came out

and since it's nearly 3 years old at this point they were just like fuck it, won't matter out of warranty

[wide hill]

guessing they use support page to verify that the customer actually owns a rift s?

omg, i got a response back

https://img.thaun.dev/rh0pp.png

aight, i guess it's waiting time.

[hard drift]

only thing i can think of would be link cable (usb c) to dp and then use that but that sound jank AF

[wide hill]

rift s has a link cable?

[hard drift]

no, for the displayport not working

[wide hill]

what

well, it's not a displayport into the headset

it's only displayport to the pc

the connector to the headset is the thing here on the left

[hard drift]

and you tried another port?

[wide hill]

yeap

the only way to use the rift s, is only possible to this weird af connector

[hard drift]

idk then seems like a clusterfuck for support

[sharp star]

Proprietary cables can eat ass

[wide hill]

even vive has a similar connector, but to headset <-> dock

it looks like they have wireless support for it though

was hoping to see how much a valve index costs, but it says it is unavailable for my country

ah, 1k usd for valve index

[hard drift]

you can buy just the headset but the problem is you need basestations

[wide hill]

oh hey, i found one on amazon

https://img.thaun.dev/p79ca.png

[hard drift]

don't buy it

[wide hill]

don't worry, i can't afford it even if i wanted to buy it

[hard drift]

vive cosmos might be better but unless you buy the 200 dollar faceplate it needs basestations too

[deep sapphire]

affordable

[wide hill]

these prices, really are high

https://img.thaun.dev/2p2db.png

[deep sapphire]

buy it

just to spite bidori

[hard drift]

yeah it's because shipping it lol

it's not exactly light for shipping cost

[hard drift]

it wouldn't spite me smh

it'd make me sad that i can't use mine

[wide hill]

send me cash and ill do it

[deep sapphire]

I've spent too much money this month sorry

[hard drift]

same

[deep sapphire]

about 2300 dollars

[hard drift]

[deep sapphire]

fuckin WALLET HURTS

[hard drift]

i wish

[wide hill]

there are only a few brands that gets sells vr headset in the locals

HTC Vive, Meta, and HP

oh and playstation vr if that counts

[modest moss]

Rade-on?

More like Rade-oh-no

[hard drift]

We need more people in the inside out tracking game 😭 for pc it’s only really meta, hp and htc with the one attachment nothing else

And it’s mainly just meta for a good one that’s budget friendly

[modest moss]

everything is so smol at 1440p

[modest moss]

what cpu/gpu is this?

[potent arrow]

https://c.tenor.com/347fiNks-ukAAAAM/scaleway-scale.gif

[jaunty light]

5900X 3090

[modest moss]

pretty happy with my score then if it's only 700 behind a 3090

[modest moss]

getting 90-100fps in limsa

that's better than I expected

I should look into gshade I guess

[hard drift]

can always scale it up if you really think it's too small

[modest moss]

I'll get used to it, I increased text size in discord and skype

[hard drift]

skype

[jaunty light]

Yeah I didn't notice much improvement from a 2080 ti in xiv

[hard drift]

well yeah, at 1440p you're more cpu constrained than ever gpu

[modest moss]

this shit looks great anyway

[hard drift]

good

[modest moss]

how is he getting 6k more than Honk with just 5950 over 5900

[hard drift]

5950 is worse than 5900x and 5800x3d

what is your buddy using

[modest moss]

I wonder if windowed gets a higher score than borderless windowed

[hard drift]

within margin of error

??? why would it be thermal throttling

[jaunty light]

1440 max?

He do any heavy OC? Water?

[hard drift]

same model card?

[jaunty light]

I can always put an AC next to it and see

[hard drift]

probably just better 😎 better sample

[jaunty light]

Strix

[sick edge]

It's not guitar/bass shaped. Sad.

[agile roost]

Based

Strix is god tier

[modest moss]

I wonder how much overclocking would boost my score

[modest moss]

I meant cpu, but I cba, I'll just leave it doing autoboost shit

this cooler is good, have to admit that

25c idle right now

one annoying thing about this case is the power button flickering as a hdd access led

I wonder if it'll annoy me enough that I use the other headers

[hard drift]

just destroy the led that's what i do for cases that have them lol

[modest moss]

I'm not attacking the power button

[hard drift]

😔

[jaunty light]

Black sharpie or tape

[latent grotto]

break the housing for the power button

increases fps by 20%

[modest moss]

or just yanno, do it properly and use the alternate headers and not connect the drive activity header, like the nzxt support page says

https://support.nzxt.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409019584283-Why-is-my-power-button-flickering-

[hard drift]

destroy the led

[jaunty light]

Wire christmas lights to the header

[modest moss]

cyberpunk gonna take forever to download :(

[hard drift]

i forgot that game existed

[modest moss]

I don't even really want to replay it, just see how it runs compared to the 4690k/1080

[hard drift]

lol

i mean you can also turn on raytracing if you even care

[modest moss]

I will in cyberpunk just to see how pretty it looks and how badly it runs

[hard drift]

and of course dlss

[jaunty light]

Maxed out with no DLSS i got a whopping 4fps with a 2080 ti

[hard drift]

[jaunty light]

At 4k*

[modest moss]

DLSS I only manage with in-game settings the same as RTX, no nvidia control panel settings right?

[hard drift]

correct unless you want DLDSR

which is basically lesser dlss but all games using fullscreen or something like that

[modest moss]

I turned HDR on

it looked worse

I turned it off

[hard drift]

lol it's because most monitors that have hdr are ass

it's just brighter and eh because the monitors don't have enough zones for it

[modest moss]

it looked like it might be good for watching a movie, but I like my pc vivid colours

HDR seemed kinda, too realistic

[hard drift]

yeah it depends on the implementation

[sly elk]

one thing I remember about CRTs was that bright green (#00FF00) was annoying as shit to read on a black background. It wasn't just the brightness but the way it'd blur due to the way the tube handles contrast

also things like how your geometry in 1280x1024 is different than it is in 1600x1200

or how certain colors or images would possibly cause the geometry to warp a little lol

[potent arrow]

I always remember one imploding on me and cutting my arm open

[sly elk]

yikes o_O

how'd that happen?!

[potent arrow]

I uh

:)

[jaunty light]

oh yeah baby overclocking got me a wildly better score

[deep sapphire]

[agile roost]

Lol

[deep sapphire]

You are something else

[sly elk]

ouch

somehow a crt fell off a desk in our house once

i think someone tried to move a table without taking the monitor off

[frozen bolt]

Do I want Windows 11?

[lost python]

No

I have been using it for a few months now and while some things are neat, the fact that i need a third party tool to get back basic functions on the taskbar, is really annoying

[frozen bolt]

Thanks Rob.

Was on the fence there.

[royal forge]

The taskbar is very.. apple-y right?

[eager sandal]

can just wait a few years

till win10 becomes obsolete

[royal forge]

Jump to win 12

[lost python]

thats just the design.
but taking away the option to resize it, move it around or have the god damn task manager available when you right click it, should be illegal

but you can also move the elements back to standard positions, which i strongly recommend because else you have your pinned symbols move around constantly when opening programs

[royal forge]

I get genuinely confused with their logic at times

[jaunty light]

win11 nicely fitting that "inbetween windows that sucks"

win11.1 soon

[sudden marten]

microsoft simply has infinite money and does not need to care if their product is good or not

what is the average person gonna do? not buy a windows pc?

[inland mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/linux-trash-linuxbad-gif-18671901

Linux is great but also holy shit

holy fucking shit

can it be a pain

[lost python]

maybe nivida will someday put some work into their linux drivers so gaming on linux becomes a little bit more realistic

[deep sapphire]

It’ll go from .5 percent to .6

[real edge]

700e 6800xt

800e 3080 12gb

nvidia said that there will be price cuts

prices will drop more but I wonder by how much....

[jaunty light]

https://tenor.com/view/manjaro-users-pc-when-they-gif-22374154

[jaunty light]

more or less yea you'd be surprised even now how many are still running 7 out of spite of 8 and 10, + business licensing

[inland mauve]

7 is end of life so that's just a ticking time bomb

[jaunty light]

Hospitals: hold my beer

[sudden marten]

im not really surprised people do that

8 and 10 were kinda bad

[hard drift]

supposedly these are the price cuts

nothing else

3080 12gb finally getting an msrp

[real edge]

I see

the price of it is already at 800$

[hard drift]

yeah, so i wouldn't expect much more

[real edge]

I think it will drop more tho

[hard drift]

it originally had no msrp

[real edge]

800$ is too much for an old card so I think it will drop more when next gen gets announced

or close to

[hard drift]

yeah but with the current swing of things, i'm wondering how delayed announcing these will be

since the rumor is all about them trying to move a lot more of this stock since there's so much

[real edge]

yeah

high supply but no demand

[hard drift]

that's what happens when everyone knows a new gen is right around the corner and prices were terrible

[real edge]

I will wait for further drops and then maybe buy a 12gb 3080

I do not want to change my PSU yet

[hard drift]

good luck

[real edge]

it still has life in it

and standards for psu will rise over the next couple of years

[hard drift]

yeah, and especially at this point if you can keep it chugging along until early next year you'll probably get something a lot better for a decent price

[hard drift]

they're already changing 😭 we're probably going to start seeing adapters for gpus soon

https://videocardz.com/newz/this-power-adapter-for-evga-rtx-3090-ti-kingpin-has-five-8-pin-connectors like this chonky thing

[odd sand]

TSMC told Nvidia they either had to keep the wafer orders they made, or find another company to buy the production time from them

[hard drift]

which we know won't happen

oversupply of 40 series?

[odd sand]

Watch they delay the cards and make some sort of Frankenstein double card out of them to release the year after

[potent arrow]

[hard drift]

buy one get one free

[potent arrow]

Shinon I hate you, but you have a completely valid point

:3

[hard drift]

they're already delaying cards 90% chance

[potent arrow]

The hybrid monstrosity part is too real

[hard drift]

i expect mid range cards such as 70/60 class to be out next year

[hard drift]

it would be as power hungry as the kingpin 3090ti 😭

[odd sand]

Nvidia 4090 Titan Ti Special Edition™

[potent arrow]

Nah it'll be like

3070 Ti Super Mega

[odd sand]

That power adapter thing for that one card is ridiculous. Where do you even fit that in a case

[hard drift]

in front of the card duh

[potent arrow]

Or like...

[hard drift]

where the cables would originally go

[potent arrow]

3650 shows up

[hard drift]

we don't even have 26 series yet 😭

better not have 36 series yet

[potent arrow]

If we do I'll cry

[hard drift]

it's likely to happen

[potent arrow]

I know

That's why I'm cringul so hard

[hard drift]

especially since "if you buy a card without raytracing it's a waste" or some shit according to nvidia lol

[potent arrow]

"Raytrace Deez"

[hard drift]

but if they release a 26/36 series it means raytracing to more people at more affordable prices (hopefully)

[potent arrow]

I just bought 4 3070 so I hope it gets delayed :troll:

[hard drift]

even if it comes out people will still likely get last gen parts

[potent arrow]

I'm budgeting a lot for next year, I assume these new cards will not be very cheap to stock up on

[hard drift]

100% won't

likely to increase in price yet again and a global recession is coming 😔

[potent arrow]

Time to raise my service cost yet agaaain

[odd sand]

Yep. Even though every indicator says 40 series should be the same price or cheaper, I'm sure they will charge more.

They've learned now they can basically set the price to whatever and demand will remain high for at least a year

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-reveals-arc-a750-desktop-graphics-card-performance-in-five-games-faster-than-geforce-rtx-3060

[odd sand]

That's good. They released their weakest card first, so nobody knew what to expect from th erest

[hard drift]

i mean we knew to expect shit frametimes and unoptimized drivers and trying to cheat benchmarks

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-7000-6-core-cpu-with-4-4-ghz-clock-and-gigabyte-x670e-motherboard-spotted-together looks pretty good

[potent arrow]

Here I go again

[modest moss]

only fools build pcs

[hard drift]

so you're a fool?

[modest moss]

100%

I mean it turned out good in the end

but 100% fool

[hard drift]

was it worth the upgrade?

[deep sapphire]

Shue can shitpost faster now

[hard drift]

meanwhile in hank land

[deep sapphire]

I don’t care about that, I only care about my tool chest

I need MORE MILWAUKEE STUFF NOW

[hard drift]

https://videocardz.com/newz/aida64-now-supports-geforce-rtx-4090 everything will start supporting them before it's even out/announced

[deep sapphire]

Good

Nvidia is the best

That’s why @modest moss went with them

[hard drift]

is that why they had to release a hotfix for old games today

[hard drift]

is that why they're wasting silicone on a 1630?

[deep sapphire]

1630? Never heard of it

[hard drift]

there's just one shit model

shit gpu

[deep sapphire]

That’s better than AMD where every model is shit

[hard drift]

is that why nvidia is trying to compete

[deep sapphire]

They don’t need to compete

[hard drift]

if that was the case the super cards would've never needed to exist

[deep sapphire]

Super cards came after a year on the market

Once again you don’t know how tick tock works

[hard drift]

they only did it because they had to compete smh

[deep sapphire]

80 percent

[hard drift]

if they didn't have to compete it would've never existed

that's because of mindshare

[deep sapphire]

Just think 20 percent (mostly europoors) foolishly purchased an inferior product

[hard drift]

which will soon crumble

[deep sapphire]

do you guys prefer controller or mmo mouse?

[modest moss]

let's try maxed RTX on fortnite

getting like 60 fps but it looks kinda jank

too much detail where you don't really want detail

[modest moss]

@hard drift DLSS is only worthwhile if I need to increase fps at a small quality loss, right?

I mean, no point turning it on when I'm getting 160fps with everything maxed right

[odd sand]

Correct. Most useful for 4K

[hard drift]

correct unless you really want to have more fps lol

[modest moss]

downloading cyberpunk, I'll need it for that lol

I played it on that gtx 1080 and got idk 40fps on reasonable settings and it looked great

expect this'll look awesome

what fps does your rig get on that?

that's playable

so I can maybe get 60 if I'm lucky

[odd sand]

Watching the "Prime day" stream from Linus and he says at one point there is no point buying a 12900K and a 3060ti. That if you can't afford a "matching GPU" you should buy a cheaper CPU.

[hard drift]

that's without dlss i bet

exactly

[odd sand]

I think that entirely depends on what you play and use the system for. If you multi-task a lot and like a lot of simulation and indie games then that is fine. Also a lot of games are still more CPU heavy than GPU heavy

[hard drift]

auto is shit in most games smh

never let the game tell you what to use

[modest moss]

gonna guess he'd say I did the right thing getting 12700k and 3070ti then

[hard drift]

cyberpunk raytraced is the next crysis just for raytracing mostly though

it runs fine without 😭

because it's unplayable without

[odd sand]

Granted, the 12700K at this point is 350 turboing to 5.0ghz and the 12900K is 560 for 5.2 and KS is 750 for 5.5...

So I would agree in that particular case, you'd rather put the 200 saved into a better GPU

[agile roost]

^

[paper tusk]

there's also a new hdmi audio driver in the package and everyone gets to play guinea pig to see if it fixes the rtx3xxx atmos dropout bug

[hard drift]

my favorite

[odd sand]

Also what the differentiation is between the specific SKUs of each gen seems to change.

11700 to 11900 was both 8 core and 5.0 and 5.3 turbo. 12700 to 12900 is 8/4 and 8/8 cores with 5.0 and 5.2 turbo

9700k didn't have hyperthreading, but the 10700 and later do

[potent arrow]

Zzzz

That's the slowest I've been

[deep sapphire]

Can I buy one

[modest moss]

if I send one to you I have to send one to daisy too, and I'm quite lazy, but maybe

[deep sapphire]

I’ll put it on my tool chest

[modest moss]

hmm it's £1.85 to send a letter to either USA or Mexico if it's under 20g, that's not bad

maybe I'll try to not be lazy during the week

[odd sand]

OHBOY HE GOT TO USE THE PIG

Speaking of which, is Red2 any good? I enjoyed the first one

[sly walrus]

how much of that enjoyment was based on morgan freeman

[modest moss]

you mean the spy movie?

it was ok

[finite frost]

where can i get saudering lessons so i can fix my headphones with confidence?

[deep sapphire]

YouTube and buy a cheap soldering kit with some thin 18-20 gauge wire

Practice on it

Headphones have really thin wire though so if it broke from the wire and not the solder point you might have a hard time fixing it

[finite frost]

naw, its the plastic shell that cracked... its also an apple product so ye. it has sentimental value to me though.

[modest moss]

you can't solder plastic

[finite frost]

no, the way apple made it, in order for me to replace the damn shell it has to be extra. they pulled the wires through multiple layers of plastic and solder it onto the last speaker layer in the outside.

[modest moss]

sounds awful, gl with it

[finite frost]

Ye...

[deep sapphire]

AirPod max?

[finite frost]

No, beats studio 3

[deep sapphire]

Oh gotcha

[finite frost]

Boss gave it to mee after workin 4 years. i was goin hard

[deep sapphire]

You’ve worked hard for us, here’s a broken pair of headphones

You know what our company gave us, a box of frozen meat

[finite frost]

it was new before. i took care then i fucked up once after usin it since 2019

[deep sapphire]

It happens, headphones are fragile junk

Ironically my AirPods probably lasted longer than any listening device I’ve ever owned lmao I’ve had mine for like 5 years now and they still work granted the batteries are basically shot

[velvet flint]

Could anyone give advice on this

Screen suddenly showed these lines

[deep sapphire]

Check your display cable make sure it’s fully inserted on both sides

[velvet flint]

Not even disconnecting or turning on and off helped

[deep sapphire]

Are you using HDMI

[velvet flint]

Uh yeah

[deep sapphire]

Does it change the picture if you wiggle it at the base

[velvet flint]

No?

[deep sapphire]

If it’s a thicker cable they can wear out and cause things like that

[velvet flint]

I'm not sure

[deep sapphire]

Well, it could be graphical artifacts then, though if it’s consistent like that for any image on the screen I still think it’s either the cable or monitor

[velvet flint]

It's consistent

I don't think it's the cable

[deep sapphire]

Do you have another monitor or TV you can use real quick and see if the image stays the same

[velvet flint]

Image temporarily blacks out when I touch the thicker cable

No

But I do have my laptop

[late basalt]

Time for new monitors and gpu

[velvet flint]

Image looks fine

[deep sapphire]

I don’t think it’s the GPU

GPU artifacting would change based on the image it’s rendering

[late basalt]

Unless it’s the plug

[deep sapphire]

Well you said the image blacked out when you touched it

[velvet flint]

the thicker cable at the back right?

of the monitor

[deep sapphire]

Well there are normally 2 cables, one is for power and one is for display. That one going to your laptop is the one I suspect is the issue

You see how it’s sharply bent from the laptop

That can damage thicker cables pretty easily over time

Happened to me awhile back

The only way to conclusive tell though is if you have another tv or monitor you can use to check briefly

But you can buy a new HDMI cable for 20 bucks if it is going bad so not the end of the world

[velvet flint]

Oh that's a adaptor

[late basalt]

If even that expensive tbf too hank

[deep sapphire]

Yeah they can go pretty low

[velvet flint]

It's a hdmi adaptor idk

[late basalt]

Displayport-> hdmi?

[deep sapphire]

Well regardless, the adapter or cable is most likely bad

If you touched it and it lost signal but you’re positive it’s inserted fully on your TV or monitor I would replace it

[velvet flint]

Oh dear

Is there a temporary fix?

[late basalt]

Nope

Other than using a different cable/monitor that you have on hand

[velvet flint]

damn

[modest moss]

Cyberpunk with RTX on everything basically max is 50-60fps in the desert, that's pretty good

[deep sapphire]

[modest moss]

lol turning off RTX and DLSS only gives back an extra 10-15fps

[sly elk]

I agree that looks like a bad cable

or a bad control board in your LCD

it kinda reminds me of gameboy screens when you turn them off

and pretty much every LCD looks like that when you immediately remove power, you just can't see it because they look so dark these days when off

KNIPEX Cobra XL Pipe Wrench and Water Pump Pliers (400 mm) 87 01 400 https://a.co/d/cL4DA0t

[velvet flint]

I'm using a different monitor and it's definitely either a cable or a monitor problem

[deep sapphire]

Good deal if you can wait a couple weeks for shipping

It’s most likely the cable, monitor failure would look more drastic but it’s pretty uncommon for LCD panels to immediately fail like that unless it was physically damaged

I got this crash, any helps

[odd sand]

Googling shows pretty vague results saying it could be anything from bad ram to corrupted files, etc.

While FF14 has a lot of screwy crash errors, that's not one i've heard mentioned here before

[deep sapphire]

My hunch is corrupted game file or as shin said could be a memory fault

If it happens at the same spot it’s likely a file issue

[noble basin]

what should I do?

[deep sapphire]

I guess it depends, does it happen all the time or was it just a one time crash

[sly elk]

HEHE. https://www.reddit.com/r/battlestations/comments/w0001k/my_quiet_lil_nook/

i wonder if they're running windows on the laptop or just have another computer hooked up to the screen

[vast apex]

A question

Is the whole statement of "wired mouse is far better than wireless" still hold true today

[sly walrus]

less lag

[vast apex]

Is that a yes or no then.

[sly walrus]

do you like lag?

[vast apex]

Nevermind. Thanks for the input anyway.

[hard drift]

It’s not really noticeable for most people although it’s still technically true but the lag is a ton less noticeable than it used to be

So you could play just fine with either wired or wireless and barely/not notice

[vast apex]

Alright, that's the answer I wanted. Thanks.

[hard drift]

Np

[royal forge]

PERSONALLY, i've used wireless before, and found it's USUALLY ok

but for some reason, it gets fucky fucky when there's too much interference, i think??

like, too many bluetooth devices or some bollocks

but on the other hand, I have a friend who swears by his wireless logitech\

meanwhile, i'll never change from my MX518

GOD DAMN is DDR4 CHEAP

[hard drift]

Yup, phasing to ddr5 coming soon

[royal forge]

price drop pls for ddr5

god damn are some of that shit expensive

[hard drift]

It’ll happen with am5 being ddr5 only (as far as we know)

[royal forge]

yea

hopefully soon

[hard drift]

probably early 2023 since it comes q3-4 this year

[royal forge]

nuuu

i'd like to build when 4000 drops

[hard drift]

Lol

[jaunty light]

logitech still more or less has the best wireless system

[hard drift]

Considering the rumor is 4090 only really being this year, you still can

Budget stuff is rumored for early 2023

[royal forge]

ouch

[royal forge]

ye, but I love my MX518 for the size and weight

i've yet to find a wireless equivalent

[hard drift]

Plus we all know when gpus first release they’re normally out of stock quick, lets hope they get in stock quicker this time

[royal forge]

well

we can hope miners are not in the way this time

[jaunty light]

never will be lol they killed that shell with the 5/6 series that weigh too much and succ

[hard drift]

Even without them it was normally like this lol

[royal forge]

well

aggravating things i guess

[jaunty light]

you could try the roccat kone pro i guess but its not the same shape for sure

[royal forge]

ye, for me, it's the shape that's the biggest deal

[jaunty light]

damn the mx518 is only 25 bucks now lol

[royal forge]

ye

is super cheap

but

ya know

when, down the line

it is not in production..

[jaunty light]

u plannin on breakin 20 of em?

for the price of my GPX i could buy 6 or 7 of those

[royal forge]

nah

but i worry about what happens when they are not in production no more and mine finally breaks

@sly elk I see that setup here and somehow they know..

idk I think it's things like "be a trucker without having to BE a trucker"

like the joy of driving a mack 18 wheeler around

without having to shower in a random truck stop bathroom because you haven't in three days and driving the middle of nowhere with a 3 hour nap as the only sleep you've had lately

[jaunty light]

Drinking 10 beers like a real trucker do without getting arrested

[sly elk]

lol

yea "functional alcoholic"

ha now i wonder if I can find a corner of the internet where people are claiming it should be legal to drive with a higher blood alcohol content

it's been a few years, but I remember a time when some people on the internet argued that they could safely operate a phone while driving and were staunchly against anti-phone-while-driving laws

do you expect to use it longer than 100 months?

or 90 months or w/e

I tend to let windows handle it yeah, but others might disagree

[jaunty light]

just install more ram

[deep sapphire]

@potent arrow

I did it

I converted it to an impact wrench

if you need page file you need ram

[deep sapphire]

Let me show you

[jaunty light]

How reliable will it be? Who knows

[modest moss]

I have 2x 1tb nvme installed, 32gb ram, windows is on automatic paging and has set a 5gb one on system drive and none on the other

[deep sapphire]

[fair parcel]

[jaunty light]

having a 100GB page file just means you're shoving like 150% of your workload into something 1000% slower

[deep sapphire]

That’s okay Kobalt is a good brand

At least you didn’t say masterforce

[modest moss]

yeah I've gone through periods in windows 7 days where I had 16gb ram and no pagefile at all

[fair parcel]

yeah I just stuck with them since I got my drill on sale so I don't like to mix/match

you know OCD and stuff

[deep sapphire]

I love how Menards wants to charge you milwaukee prices for their power tools

stains on the monitors?

[jaunty light]

anime stickers are the answer

[real edge]

don't they have a return policy?

if the monitor has smudges that cannot be removed then that is a cause for return in many cases

especially if you are in the EU

check the return policy of the store you are buying it from

they should offer you a full refund in the case of damage like this

[jaunty light]

why arent they just using the, you know, antistatic .. foam? they ship every other monitor with

[real edge]

idk but

every store should have a return policy

that should make damage like that worth a full refund

... hmm but

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

but the webcam sucks 😦 there's no arguing that.

but still, as much praise as I'd like to give dell for their monitors, the build quality is meh

[jaunty light]

people always assume res is diff. like not knowing 1440p and 2k are miles apart. and 4k and 5k are also miles apart

gotta pay for that in house panel R&D sucks to suck

like buying $20K cinema monitors because you NEED full rec709 and DCIp3

[sly elk]

5k has like 40% more pixels than 4k

but it's "only 1 more k" so people get all triggered about how much more expensive it is, and how there's no 144hz 5k monitors

[jaunty light]

2560x1440 vs 3440x1440

[sly elk]

(3440-2560)*1440

1,267,200

[jaunty light]

maff

about 35% more
