Wat

[crisp granite]

7700K
last year?

[thick pine]

The cooler is relatively new

[crisp granite]

ah

still under warranty

[thick pine]

Fuck if I know

[crisp granite]

making strange noises?

[crisp granite]

all of em have at least a two year warranty

the best have 6 year warranties

[thick pine]

No just runs gta like shit and core temp said he his 95 max

[crisp granite]

(Arctic my beloved)

[crisp granite]

so temps are fine in ANY other application?

[ashen spindle]

new socket means new cooler most likely anyway so it's w/e

[thick pine]

Yep

[crisp granite]

...that is just weird

[thick pine]

Tbf he was trying FiveM which obviously isn’t base GTA

So idk

[still loom]

Fairly sure it's common for a lot of Intel CPUs to go over 90 under load 😅

[crisp granite]

uh
over half decade old intel chips under an AIO don't do that

lol

they were actually not impossible to cool back in the day

[thick pine]

That’s what I’m sayin lol

[fleet sand]

depends on the cooler though

[ashen spindle]

doesnt matter anyway since that cpu definitely is old by now so an upgrade helps a lot

[thick pine]

So what’s the logical upgrade step?

Without going ddr5

[ashen spindle]

am4, 5800x3d

[crisp granite]

any used AM4 board and used Ryzen 3000 or 5000

actually yeah, 5800x3d

chip is a beast

not that expensive either

[ashen spindle]

really good for gta as well

[thick pine]

Thanks man I’ll let him know

[still loom]

Maybe just use less volts to the CPU from the motherboard

It's probably overclocking automatically way too high

Reduce the voltage by maybe 0.1 and you might see like a 10 degree difference

[thick pine]

Yeah but wouldn’t you lose performance for everything else?

[still loom]

Some boards automatically volt the CPU higher than other boards though

Yeah you will lose a little bit of performance but you are less likely to throttle

These are 2 boards with the 7700k compared

One board is 94C normal under load temp, uses higher volt automatically

Reduce that voltage on the far right column and the temp is down

[ashen spindle]

even if it reduces the temps, still wont give a lot more fps

[still loom]

Won't give more FPS, but if your CPU is getting too hot and it throttles at 100C you will lose FPS

[still loom]

Also these changes are done by GamersNexus, so these are normal operating temperatures for a 7700K using different boards

The chip runs hot

Very much depends on what motherboard you're using as to how hot exactly it will get

[fleet sand]

those temperatures were recorded under torture tests

kinda different from playing gta XD

but lowering voltage will drop temperature regardless

Damn

Bitcoin is doing well I'm actually making money

[thick elk]

Interesting, what prompts the increase in price?

Ph it's just back at november levels, so I guess it's just the media cycle around ftx dying out .

Still 0 interest in investing in bitcoin on my side

It's still just a speculation tool.

Still it is quite a large short term spike even for bitcoin

And barely over 20k is still a lot higher than pre late 2020 levels, meanwhile the real market for bitcoin has not really increased much

[final flame]

@cursive summit
got the moondrop click here's my thoughts so far

• Works perfectly on android no need for uapp to boost the volume
• The bass response is very good no lack of bass
• No audible noise floor even at max volume
• Cable itself is longer than the apple dongle
• it seems to power the 6xx in terms of volume just fine, the bass response on the 6xx also seems to be fine, although I don't have a proper A B system to that is a bit difficult to test
  Overall quite a nice dac for iems, personally I'd say it's better than the apple dongle on android and in performance, I have yet to see how it performs on ios my apple dongle is also broken so this is just off of memory

[wheat plume]

if you screen share in a voice call on Discord using the website instead of the app, WHY IS IT LOCKED TO FUCKING 5 FRAMES A SECOND?!?!?

[cursive summit]

Seems fine, though if it packs a bit more power than your typical mobile dongle it's kinda scary cause I like my NDH20s completely bassless

[thick elk]

My main gripe with the 6xx / 600 / 650 is comfort, the earcups are not that deep and replacing them with thicker ones requires eq guesswork to make them sound decent.
Still not enough trouble to buy something else, but even at the price without vat being charged definitely would not buy them again.

[cursive summit]

Crappy V shape signature

I hate V shape signatures with a passion, I like the neutral shape a lot more

[final flame]

the click powers the 6xx to a respectable volume at about 75% in android

[thick elk]

volume wise it runs fine even on the default headphone jack as long as I don't stack it with eq and replaygain too much

on my phone that is

Not that I use it outside of desktop use

[final flame]

ok the click works perfectly fine on ios

no issues with latency

and sounds like it does on android

I will say though the click is ever slightly taller than the ipad pro so if you do set it down on a flat surface then you damage the click or usb c port

[slim dragon]

hi

[vagrant pagoda]

https://www.teslarati.com/wyoming-phase-out-evs-2035/

[wheat plume]

🤦‍♀️

[reef patrol]

I guess they didn't catch on to the whole "no oil by 2050"

[vagrant pagoda]

I'm sure all 10 people got together and agreed

[wheat plume]

too far away ;-;

this is the first thing ive ever heard happen in wyoming

[vagrant pagoda]

Exactly

[thick pine]

Gas and oil isn’t going anywhere for at least 1000 more years

[wheat plume]

1000? it will be all used up by then

[vagrant pagoda]

You know we can make more.

[wheat plume]

make??

synthetic fossil fuels?

[vagrant pagoda]

Yes

[wheat plume]

.....

oh fuck sake

do these manmade fossil fuels also give off the same awful emmisions the real ones do?

[ashen spindle]

everything can be made in the lab, its just a question of when, how profitable and at what scale

[wheat plume]

but are they just as bad for emissions?

[thick pine]

Not even close

[ashen spindle]

if its quite literally the same thing, how would it be any different in any aspect

[wheat plume]

fuck sake .-.

[thick pine]

We haven’t even tapped into 5% of the earths natural gas resource

[wheat plume]

and the world is already as fucked as it is? .-.

damn it

[vagrant pagoda]

And natural gas aka methane is over 90% microbe produced

[thick pine]

I’m sorry but digging up fossils and burning them to make machinery run is like the single most driving factor for the “easy, modern life”

We aren’t gonna stop

[vagrant pagoda]

It isn't like oil that forms from heat/pressure breakdown of biomass

So you can take a suitable microbe and mass produce methane

[thick pine]

@wheat plume you know EV’s produce MORE emissions than regular combustion engines?

[vagrant pagoda]

Aka how cows work

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah lithium is DIRTY

People think steel is dirty because of what a 1800s iron works looked like

Modern carbon arc foundries are very clean

[wheat plume]

yep

[vagrant pagoda]

Lithium is generally processed by leeching

Or worst lithium salt mineing

Which is MINED by leeching

Millions of gallons of toxic waste water

[thick pine]

That’s not uncommon

Tons of industries contaminate millions of gallons of water

Tbh it isn’t even that big of a deal

There’s HELLA water

[vagrant pagoda]

If you clean it before dumping it

[thick pine]

It’s reused lmfao

[vagrant pagoda]

It with lithium salt mineing you pump it into a open field

To evaporate

But huge amounts of it make it back into the ground

[thick pine]

Okay idk about the mines and shit in underdeveloped, exploited countries

[vagrant pagoda]

You mean we're almost all lithium comes from

[thick pine]

Probably majority of raw materials

[reef patrol]

Yes - But not doing anything to try and improve things is not a solution.

[thick pine]

We are naturally improving every day

[reef patrol]

No - We are not naturally improving fossil fuels. That's not how that works 😄

[thick pine]

You think there’s not hundreds if not thousands of researchers working on clean energy?

[vagrant pagoda]

Yeah we are

Cars get more efficient

Fuels get better refined

[reef patrol]

That's not fossil fuels. The push for clean energy is a side effect of EV focus.

[thick pine]

It’s fucking sham tho

[vagrant pagoda]

You have no idea theb

[reef patrol]

Great - Let me know when we figure out how to make oil fields worth of fossil fuels cleanly.

[vagrant pagoda]

Most of "clean energy" money goes to make fossil fuels cleaner

[thick pine]

The power plant that produces the electricity is just as bad if not worse than the millions of engines on the road

[true quest]

or renewable at all lol

[reef patrol]

But the important bit here is that they aren't inherently dependent on a finite source of fuel.

[thick pine]

How do you think the power is generated? 🤣

Fuel

Doesn’t matter if it’s an EV charger

Or a combustion engine

[vagrant pagoda]

The money someone like GE spends on researching filtration equipment for natural gas plants likely eclipses the entire automotive rnd field

[reef patrol]

It's almost as if you missed the argument entirely.

[thick pine]

They are inherently dependent on the power grid

[vagrant pagoda]

Or the money ExxonMobil spends trying to remove 1% more nitrogen from gasoline

Or a ppm or two of sulfur from diesel

[reef patrol]

Combustion engine - Fossil fuel
Power plant - Multiple avenues of fuel sources.

[thick pine]

Fair but there’s nothing wrong with fossil fuel

Other than the fact that it’s finite

[reef patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/hysterical-laughter-laughing-gif-25735842

[true quest]

lol

lmao even

[wheat plume]

🤦‍♀️

[reef patrol]

And with that - The debate ended on a low note.

[thick pine]

?

[wheat plume]

Yeah....

wtf

[thick pine]

What’s wrong

[vagrant pagoda]

A modern natural gas plant in it's life releases less carbon than solar of the same size

[thick pine]

Yes

[reef patrol]

Great - I literally never claimed otherwise

[vagrant pagoda]

And it's lifetime cost is likely a 10th of nuclear

[thick pine]

Fr what’s wrong with fossil fuels?

[vagrant pagoda]

Renewable is great

[reef patrol]

Here's an axe - Go chop up some dinosaurs and leave them in the soil for a few million years.

[thick pine]

Why are there people making trillions of dollars harvesting it?

[vagrant pagoda]

That isn't how you make natural gas lmao

[true quest]

it is how you make crude

[reef patrol]

It's almost as if there are two separate debates going on here or something, Ion

[vagrant pagoda]

Nope

[reef patrol]

But enjoy your little pow wow

[true quest]

yeah

[vagrant pagoda]

Crude needs heat and pressure

So soil isn't going to do anything

[true quest]

for how long

[thick pine]

Typical ignorant European stance, says something is bad for the “environment” while living in a country that burns billions of tons of it to keep the lights on

Like

It’s literally braindead to think burning resources is bad

[true quest]

because he owns the country

[reef patrol]

Oh no! Personal attacks!

[thick pine]

It’s THE ONLY REASON WE HAVE WHAT WE HAVE

[reef patrol]

Also entirely irrelevant to the discussion you were having here.

[vagrant pagoda]

I mean the could be french though

[thick pine]

The only reason your business exists is because of modernization

[vagrant pagoda]

They have their power together

[thick pine]

It’s literally any developed country

I would say the same about an American trying to say that fuel is bad 🤣

[misty saffron]

my business exists because of weird people wanting to feel better than the rest

[thick pine]

It’s fucking braindead, we only thrive now because of the advances made in resource use hundreds of years ago

[reef patrol]

And that has literally nothing to do with the argument of "fossil fuel bad, let's work towards a different source of fuel"

CONGRATULATIONS

[ashen spindle]

yeah nobody said we should stop using power lol

[thick pine]

Yes

He actually did

[reef patrol]

Who? Where?

[thick pine]

Dementia?

[ashen spindle]

it's entirely about replacing things that have bad side effects with other things that do the same thing with less bad side effects

[thick pine]

That’s not a thing btw

Carbon neutral maybe

But oil and gas are here to stay

[reef patrol]

Alright - Feel free to take that debate up with... the scientific community.

Have at em sport!

[thick pine]

The scientific community is only allowed to exist because we burn fossils

There would be no computers, no infrastructure, no internet

[reef patrol]

That is literally not an argument.

[thick pine]

Exactly

[misty saffron]

that’s a really weird religion you got there

[thick pine]

So stop saying it’s “bad”

It’s not

If anything

[reef patrol]

Jesus christ on a handrail.

[thick pine]

It’s God

[reef patrol]

I'm so out. 😄

[ashen spindle]

"we used stuff because we didnt know better and werent advanced enough to use better options, so those things are free of flaws"

amazing logic

[empty wren]

You know we got solar, wind and geothermal energy too

[thick pine]

Barely

Compared to fuel?

[empty wren]

There is nuclear

[thick pine]

That’s excellent

But look what happens when it spills and shit

[empty wren]

It can be quite safe when followed correctly only gripe is burying that waste

[misty saffron]

have you ever seen a gas leak?

[thick pine]

No one cares

[reef patrol]

That is not a bloody argument! The status quo of things has absolutely shit all to do with whether or not something is "bad", and whether or not we should keep doing it or invest elsewhere.

Even the oil industry knows this, and have been putting insane amounts of money into investments elsewhere, because they are capitalists who can see the writing on the wall. The cow is running out of milk, and they want to keep making money.

[empty wren]

Bruh what

[misty saffron]

clearly you do

[true quest]

too advanced for him, likely never heard of an oil spill\

[thick pine]

No I mean literally

No one cares

You aren’t understanding what I’m saying

If nuclear material spills

[reef patrol]

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got dinner to make.

[misty saffron]

i’m convinced you don’t understand either tbh

[ashen spindle]

because you are not making any sense

[thick pine]

It’s god damn defcon 5

But a gas tanker flips on the highway?

Meh

They clean it up but there’s no hazmat, quarantine, etc.

[zealous lake]

Guys why are you arguing with a contrarian who is baiting you to go mald in a discord server.
It's not like anyone here is open to changing their mind on anything. Chill a bit

[misty saffron]

don’t remember the last time i’ve seen a nuclear waste tanker on a highway but alright

[empty wren]

Lol

[ashen spindle]

almost like different material means the stage at where its an issue also varies so you cant compare it 1 to 1 lol

[thick pine]

show me the person

i’ll block them on discord. personally. don’t joke with me.

[ashen spindle]

you know a reasonable person can find flaws on both sides and argue against both things in an opposing situation?

this isnt the american voting system

[thick pine]

It’s not arguing if you play both sides

It’s being a douche

[ashen spindle]

if I think both are flawed why not

[thick pine]

I mean I agree

[misty saffron]

[thick pine]

However one has been the single most important thing to human advancement in the last 500 years, the other is generally a scam

[ashen spindle]

[misty saffron]

[thick pine]

I don’t mean it doesn’t work

I mean the information they are presenting to the world is just bs marketing

[ashen spindle]

think he wants us to go back to put asbestos in our walls too

[thick pine]

No I think you guys should just do a little bit of thinking for yourself instead of listening to what CNN or BBC tells you

[misty saffron]

there’s a city called asbestos in russia, i feel like i should move there

cnn? bbc? lmao

Oh okay

[misty saffron]

just trying to educate you on how to have a productive conversation, that’s it 🙂

Actually if we did not rely on oil so much gas prices would not be as concerning as they are

Because it may as well be an energy monopoly which is undesirable

[thick pine]

Gas prices are entirely politically motivated

Yes but does not mean you dig everything up

N...no... they're dead, Dave. You missed the entire argument - And THAT is probably the biggest takeaway from this entire farce. That you don't actually read and listen to what people say, and just rant on 😄

[thick pine]

Brooo

It was ironic

I am for slaughter farms

I think it’s evolutionary genius

[thick pine]

We also used to enslave entire populations to work for us, the same argument could be made for any of the immoral practices of the past

And burning rocks for combustion isn’t replaceable yet, that’s why there can’t be an argument against it… currently

In 5023 there might be

Feelings have nothing to do with respect my guy

I respect the fuck out of my homies but we constantly say mean things to each other and call each other dumbasses (or worse) when having discussions/arguments

[misty saffron]

so, friendly banter

No

Banter isn’t thinking your buddy is a dumbass for whatever reason

Banter is joking

[misty saffron]

you have a very skewed perception of reality

[thick pine]

No I have a very real perception of reality

Banter is literally defined as joking

[ashen spindle]

I do not respect others opinion so by my definition I respect them correcctly

[thick pine]

I respect your dumbass opinions I just don’t respect your feelings

Feelings are irrelevant

To everything except relationships

[ashen spindle]

didnt know telling someone what rules are is threatening but sure

[reef patrol]

Alright. Let's stop this there.
Gonna put on the moderator cap now and warn y'all.

Move on or I'll start handing out timeouts if y'all continue

[forest hearth]

yeah it is but idk what to do since i have not been responded too in my post

[ashen spindle]

then wait till someone can help

its sunday

[wheat plume]

If this house wasn't so fucking insanely dusty
I'd love to build a PC in a case like this

On a case like this*?

[frozen ingot]

so clean your house

[wheat plume]

I dust my room every fucking week

And it's still not enough

[fair gull]

why do you dust it

thats the opposite of what youd want

you wanna dedust

[frozen ingot]

heard of vacuum cleaners?

[wheat plume]

Probably... Yes

Anytime I leave my steam deck charging on the dock and come back a few hours later
The screen is covered in dust

[fair gull]

in dust or small dust particles that are in the air

[ashen spindle]

even in a dusty house, just means you need to clean it more often but it works

[fair gull]

also please dont dust

dedust

[vagrant pagoda]

lol

imagine having such poor air quaility you need a filter

[wheat plume]

My air is fine...just mega dusty

[thick pine]

You should probably replace your houses air filters too

[wheat plume]

Air filters in a house?

[thick pine]

?????

[wheat plume]

Oh
I forgot that's a thing in America

[thick pine]

Oh my god it isn’t a thing everywhere

That’s disgusting

[wheat plume]

Nope
Not at all

[thick pine]

So your AC is just taking air from outside and shoving it into your house with no filtration?

[wheat plume]

What AC?

[ashen spindle]

no houses here dont have AC built in so you dont need filters

[wheat plume]

We got a stove to light fires in
Or windows to open if it's too hot

[ashen spindle]

any AC obviously has filters

[thick pine]

What in the medieval times fuck

[wheat plume]

Xd

[thick pine]

That’s tuff tbh

I lived with no AC for a bit when was 19 and broke

It was hell

[wheat plume]

Yes
But its hot af in America
Here it's regularly 6c and raining

So AC is very much not needed

[thick pine]

And your heat is just a fireplace?

[wheat plume]

Yep

That can't produce enough heat to reach the radiator in my room .-.

[ashen spindle]

no most places have either oil or gas heating or heat pumps

[thick pine]

Okay so you guys hsve heat

Just haven’t discovered the AC technology yet

Civ 5 irl

[wheat plume]

We have oil heating
But we don't use it cause mom doesn't want it on except emergencies

[ashen spindle]

no we have AC we just dont need it

[thick pine]

Yeah it can be expensive especially if you have an old shitty system, in my appt with no AC we didn’t use the heat either

[wheat plume]

Apparently oil heating is more expensive to her than buying 2 grand of coal and 1 grand of timber a year

[ashen spindle]

or are you saying the artic is behind because they dont have AC either

[wheat plume]

Lol

[thick pine]

What

[ashen spindle]

if you only need heating, why would you put in something that heats and cools

[thick pine]

For temperature regulation?

[ashen spindle]

you can heat, if its hot you open a window

[thick pine]

Not if you don’t want pollutants to freely enter your house

[ashen spindle]

wtf kinda place are you living in

[thick pine]

Wym

There’s shit in the air everywhere bro

[ashen spindle]

if your outside air is so unhealthy you need to filter it

[thick pine]

No?

But there’s pollen

Dust

Birds

[wheat plume]

Only shit in the air here is fumes from cow shit

[thick pine]

Etc

[wheat plume]

And manure

[thick pine]

Yeah that smells

[wheat plume]

You can't drive for more than 5 minutes and not smell manure

[thick pine]

Why not keep it out

[pale sigil]

Are we still arguing

[thick pine]

We are talking calm down

Ffs

So soft

[ashen spindle]

you know that you can also put filters in the windows if you need to keep pollen out for allergies

[pale sigil]

Let's all agree I pollute more after I eat Mexican.

[wheat plume]

Xd

[pale sigil]

.Awww thanks, Lana does say that when I let her out of my basement

[wheat plume]

:')

[tropic nacelle]

also AC is bad for the environment so the fact a lot of places in europe dont have AC is a good thing.

[thick pine]

So what happens when a bird flys in your house in the summer

[wheat plume]

They can't fit through the window gap

Ez

[thick pine]

It’s a marker of the quality of your shit in your house

I don’t want dusty shit

[ashen spindle]

wym bird flies into your house

[wheat plume]

I blame the stove
Always soot and ashes in the air from it

[tropic nacelle]

you have birds flying in your house? The wildlife stays on the trees outside in my country (UK)

[thick pine]

Bro generally, wildlife doesn’t behave differently in different countries 🤣

[wheat plume]

We once had a bat in our house
Luckily we got it out without hurting it

[thick pine]

See

[tropic nacelle]

well they do actually but ok, they still dont live in your house when you open the window right ?

[thick pine]

I’ve only ever opened a window for cooling when I was broke

[ashen spindle]

what a flex

[tropic nacelle]

in my 30 years in multiple houses ive yet to have a bird fly in my house when the window has been open

[wheat plume]

Flies on the other hand ...yep :/

[thick pine]

Your lucky ig? We had birds regularly flying in and out of the garage, birds kill themselves on windows

[wheat plume]

Bees
Moths
Flies
Other bugs

[thick pine]

Why would they not accidentally fly into the house??

[wheat plume]

-.-

[thick pine]

Bugs too that’s gross

[tropic nacelle]

because big windows they cant see

[ashen spindle]

if that happens more than once you put something on the window so they dont fly into it?

[thick pine]

Bugs LOVE inside

[wheat plume]

Birds are too scared to go near the windows

They fly away when I open them

[ashen spindle]

or you just put a window net in and nothing at all flies in

[thick pine]

Yeah but it happens

[tropic nacelle]

its not a common occurrence unless you are showing food though right?

[thick pine]

Yeah fs

[pale sigil]

I think you're broke in more than one way.

[thick pine]

Probably cause it’s closed more often than open 🤓

[ashen spindle]

do you also not open a door to not ave stuff fly in?

[tropic nacelle]

like most birds would not come to a person just because of food, they need time and coaxing in to do it. I dont know why you assume everyone has a problem with birds coming in their house so they cant use windows and must use AC haha

[thick pine]

Doors are open for a second

Can’t let that juicy heat and AC out

[thick pine]

Bro it was one of 3 examples

[pale sigil]

Your house must stink

[thick pine]

Nope not at all

[tropic nacelle]

so its happened 3 times in your life and that makes it the norm so you cant open windows ever?

[thick pine]

No need to open windows bro

[tropic nacelle]

you waste power just because you dont want to open windows?

[pale sigil]

We literally had 50 or so birds in our garden.

[thick pine]

We “waste” power to come home and walk inside to a comfortable temperature every day

[tropic nacelle]

dare I ask are you based in america?

[pale sigil]

They yeet milliseconds after any movement

[thick pine]

We “waste” power to come home and walk inside to a comfortable temperature every day

So it’s just a luxury in Europe

I understand

[tropic nacelle]

not a luxury really, its just not a necessity. Its bad for the environment overall and when you dont need it why would you waste money on it?

[thick pine]

Because I want it?

[pale sigil]

I mean it is a luxury lmao

[thick pine]

It is a luxury

[pale sigil]

UK during the summer is hell on earth.

[thick pine]

It’s just much more common in the states

[pale sigil]

I'd love an ac

[thick pine]

That’s what I’m sayin

Like fuck

[ashen spindle]

well it was not needed till recently is the difference

[pale sigil]

41c I wanted to die

[ashen spindle]

climate change made it so you want one, didnt need one before

[thick pine]

It’s not needed at all apparently

According to your fellow continent dwellers

Bro the AC unit is outside 🤣🤣🤣

You’re tripping

[tropic nacelle]

if only we moved to renewables and nuclear sooner, we could have avoided the wasteful energy on AC due to global warming from fossil fuel burning

[thick pine]

Jesus Christ please don’t

[tropic nacelle]

tis a shame UK people were scared into thinking nuclear was bad so delayed so much and is only in the last few years finally moving ahead with anything

[thick pine]

Nuclear is fantastic energy it’s just extremely dangerous and takes a VERY long time to get rid of the waste

[tropic nacelle]

its quite safe, you could compare it to like planes vs cars

[thick pine]

When it’s maintained and no accidents happen it’s very safe

But we are humans and we have error

[tropic nacelle]

when there is something catastrophic it is bad but generally it is significantly safer so you avoid the significant daily deaths

[thick pine]

One fuck up kills thousands and ruins land for hundreds of years

[vagrant pagoda]

i mean

you just stick it in the ground

[tropic nacelle]

even in accidents it is "fine and safe", its when it is intentionally ran out of spec and not maintained that is is a concern but only then really

[pale sigil]

Dangerous

Do tell

[thick pine]

Yeah and it can easily happen again

[pale sigil]

People like you are why we are decades behind on nuclear power :p

[thick pine]

People who know what nuclear waste is?

🤣🤣

[tropic nacelle]

it doesnt though, the waste is put away in special containment centres which is fine, its an incredible means of power with no greenhouse effects which if we continue as is means the human race becomes extinct so a concern over what "may go wrong if someone ignores all warnings and keeps doing it badly" seems shortsighted

its why you have nuclear for baseload and solar, wind, tidal for the rest of the generation. It can be done it is just a political and capitalist issue stopping us fixing the planent long term

[thick pine]

It is being done tho

[tropic nacelle]

at an extremely slow rate when it can be faster

[thick pine]

I’m sure it could

Why don’t you become a nuclear physicist and speed it up! 🤓

[tropic nacelle]

money doesnt mean anything if you are dead, that should have been motivation enough but the oil companies have sadly spent their money hiding client change reports and actively undermining any green movement, they only moved recently as their cashcow is ending and they essentially use all that funding to monopolise the green energy production again.

I mean the technology is already developed and in production, I dont need to actively develop it. Its literally just setitng up the sites and approving the building process and then build it

[thick pine]

Money is literally the only thing that means anything when you’re dead, unless you’re an artist

[tropic nacelle]

how does it? You cant spend money when dead? Im an atheist but I dont think many religions say you respawn with your money from previous saves

[reef patrol]

I swear to loaf - Are we back on the whole fuel crisis debate again?

[thick pine]

You leave behind money for your family dude

[thick pine]

Hey! I told him to stop 😆

[tropic nacelle]

if the human race perishes due to the enviornment being dangerous to life then how do they spend it? 🙂

[reef patrol]

You're replying.

[crisp granite]

to be fair, I plan on doing so
but that's only because it'll save my offspring excessive toiling to make a down payment on a property under their own name
help em build up wealth under their own name, and do the same for theirs
wealth is generational, after all

[tropic nacelle]

I have just read up, I missed this and genuinely added a comment without knowing this and went off this way.

[thick pine]

It’s gonna take hundreds of thousands of years for the burning of fossil fuels to kill us, Russia and American will probable nuke the world before that happens

[tropic nacelle]

no its not?people have already died due to significant weather shifts and flooding, this is just the beginning.
Look how people in america have frozen in cars recently....

[crisp granite]

[reef patrol]

[crisp granite]

my condolences

[thick pine]

So which is it? Global warming or global cooling?

It’s all bs 🤣

[crisp granite]

honestly
I do wish the old folks homes were government run

[reef patrol]

The next person to mention fuel, global warning or nuclear energy I am timing your ass out.

[tropic nacelle]

😦

[thick pine]

Penis blasters

[crisp granite]

it's not fair to bankrupt those who are already...yk

close to end of life

[crisp granite]

my new car does 20L/100km
most fuel efficient car I've had to date

[reef patrol]

That's one. Any other takers?

[thick pine]

My truck gets 10 MPG 🇺🇸

[reef patrol]

That's two.

[tropic nacelle]

caring for those who cannot care for themselves is brutal, I only had to do it a short time thankfully. Its not pleasant, they live but its "living" on a checkbox

yeah its not a nice experience, my aunt had dementia and parkinsons, not a fun experience and it really pressed how silly it is that right to die is not a thing in the UK

(obviously it depends on the person, it should be a choice)

id go the morphine + something to end it quickly but yeah, I wouldnt want to live in that state myself and neithere did my aunt on her good days she would always say this is too much. There have been some good finds recently in dementia and parkinsons though so maybe in the next few decades those and cancer could finally be cracked fully... one can hope!

well most people after 60 have significant chance of having a debilitating condition, in the UK retirement age is 65 if memory serves... crazy to think you are likely to be a cripple before your retirement xD

[pale sigil]

I FOUND IT

BEHOLD

@cursive summit Was it you who mentioned changing cooler pic a little ago?

[cursive summit]

Maybe

I like the Kraken AIOs for that feature

[wheat plume]

Yep
.-. can we stop this crap?

[vagrant pagoda]

?

[reef patrol]

Cloud locked hardware.

Internet of shit etc...

[ashen spindle]

would agree but for all we know that screenshot could be talking about some valid case ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tropic nacelle]

That's why home assistant is such a great thing once you set it up, buy things which are supported or open platform already and ignore all the long term issues with these random products being dropped because it's not worth the costs.

It's good that matter is finally released so an open platform is supported to help avoid these issues.

[near path]

does the wooting have some bind that spams every key? sometimes all of my keys just go crazy and idk what is causing it

[crimson wigeon]

Nope

Try reducing RGB brigthness and use the provided cable if you're not using it already

[reef patrol]

Sounds like voltage issues with the cable. What NGL suggests is solid. Reduce LED brightness

[near path]

ok i'll try that ty

[crimson wigeon]

Maybe an update should nerf the max brightness a bit 🤔 for those with capable systems have an option to un-nerf it with appropriate warnings

[reef patrol]

Wouldn't help - Every cable is different, and we can't retroactively force this.

[thick pine]

Well that’s pretty good

[pale sigil]

Strange

WoL isn't working for me

Now I have to get out of bed :(

[halcyon moss]

sounds like a good idea anyway 😉

[pale sigil]

Nuuuuu

Its 10 and I'm a lazy bum atm

[tropic nacelle]

Wish I could have a lay in today! What is WoL?

[pale sigil]

Allows you to remotely turn your pc on via network card.

Basically wake up signal via network

[limber trellis]

Wake on LAN if you're a nerd
Warrior of Light if you're a bigger nerd 😉

[tropic nacelle]

Wow I really need my coffee, yep familiar with WoL, not sure why I had a game acronym in my head haha

[ashen spindle]

Both would work since his WoL is still not done with ARR

[pale sigil]

God I hate arr

[ashen spindle]

I think I found a new good comparison, ARR is like getting a big bland salad in a 5 star restaurant, cleanses your pallet and makes a good foundation, but for the most part its a just a big salad and not fancy

[pale sigil]

Nah it's more like going McDonald's for a burger, it's there, it exists and you come away disappointed wondering why you even tried it.

[tropic nacelle]

Quickly learn only go for the mcflurry or milkshake, it's the least disappointing item they have

[pale sigil]

But you just can't help come back every now and then to he reminded why you were disappointed the first time.

[ashen spindle]

as I said many times, its fine if you end up not liking it, but you can not judge the parts that you havent done

cant judge a cake based on how a salad tastes

[pale sigil]

So basically

[old marlin]

ngl

dunno when I ate mcdonalds the last time

think it was when one coworker wanted to go there like 2 years ago

[pale sigil]

Just like adding onions to a burger, if I get past the shite and reach the onions I'll have a good time.

Got it

(in the context of maccies)

[ashen spindle]

idk I ate fries at mcdonalds once in the last 10 years nothing else

or its like reverse GoT season 8 happens first

[pale sigil]

The only reason I go McDonald's is because I can get large meals for like £2.60

Using my friend's staff code

Or medium for like 1.89 I think?

Cant remember

Otherwise I didn't touch it for years

Though I was always a sucker for that milkshake

[ashen spindle]

wrong channel for that anyway so back to tech

https://videocardz.com/newz/redditor-shows-how-geforce-rtx-4080-founders-edition-would-look-like-in-white

here your dream color on an FE card xd

[old marlin]

peak news

[pale sigil]

Would be an eye sore

Tbh

When my GPU warranty runs out I kinda wanna spray paint it but I know I'll fuck up.

So I probably won't.

I'm also cursed

I also would love to make a custom loop to cool it

[ashen spindle]

well you can take it apart so the spray painting wouldnt break anything by accident

[pale sigil]

GPUs look so fucking cool without a heay sink

Sorted

Tbh Ive been thinking about moving away from my current case in general, I just don't give a shit anymore and I'd love to out it on the floor.

But it's very much glass

Just get a cheap airflow case like you XD

[reef patrol]

REE intensifies

[pale sigil]

Wdym reee

I don't have a carpet floor and it would get airflow just fine

[old marlin]

same

just put PC on floor like a year ago

nvm

like

5 months ago

[reef patrol]

Computers don't belong on floors. Only peasants do.

[pale sigil]

One day I'll have my itx dream

One fucking day

[still loom]

A custom waterloop on the floor

[pale sigil]

Well no

If I did a custom water loop I probably wouldn't put it on the floor

[ashen spindle]

why would a custom loop not like the floor

[pale sigil]

@reef patrol how much are we talking for gpu loop setup

[still loom]

Have fun bending the pipes 😅 Make sure you get a few extras

[pale sigil]

A decent one

[still loom]

Loop setup for CPU and GPU is gonna run you around 400-500 euro

[pale sigil]

Not a god tier

[still loom]

Maybe more

[reef patrol]

Depends entirely on how rich you want to go. I think I spent well over 800€ on my setup, case included (regular hardware excluded)

[old marlin]

if I did a custom loop it would still sit on the floor

[ashen spindle]

computers are peasants working for me, so they belong on the floor 😛

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/peace-im-out-shades-on-swag-chewing-gif-16460738

[old marlin]

it doesn't stand in the middle of my room though

[reef patrol]

The biggest challenge aside from budget is finding the right GPU that has a decent block available.

[still loom]

Check EK website, it will show you prices

[pale sigil]

Your case was super fancy tho

[old marlin]

having pc on desk means I have to look at my mobo

and get reminded that all mobos are evil

[still loom]

Just the block for your GPU is like 200-300 USD/EUR

Then you have pipes, pumps etc etc

Fittings

Easily looking at over 500

Not to mention all the pipes you measured or bent wrong

[old marlin]

gpu only was the question

also don't think hard line was required

mainly comes down to what size rad and what gpu blocks you want/can/should get

https://www.caseking.de/kolink-stronghold-midi-tower-tempered-glass-retro-special-edition-gekl-123.html

wtf

based case

like 0 airflow

and overpriced for how cheap the chassis looks

[ashen spindle]

still better than the last lian li clone from nzxt

[old marlin]

lol

[ashen spindle]

where they made the top glass and put 3 fans under it

[old marlin]

glass top totally makes sense

[ashen spindle]

glass is transparent so I guess it must also let some air through

[old marlin]

only legitimately interesting thing that you might be able to do with it is mounting a mora to the rear panel

what is also quite odd is that they place the PSU on the upper side

for no good reason

[still loom]

A..... floppy disk? 😅

[tropic nacelle]

I don't get the popularity of the pc on the desk. It seems odd to me especially those who aren't water cooling as noise is a bigger issue.

I rather have my desk space for monitors, keyboard and writing pads. My pc sits on the floor under my desk.

[old marlin]

same

[still loom]

Aesthetics 🙂

People are proud of their PCs so they are on display

[old marlin]

that is what keebs are for

[still loom]

truuueee

[tropic nacelle]

But who is in your room looking at the pc? Is this a case of people put it on the desk, take a few photos and claim it's on the desk and looking nice then they move it to the more sensible place with more room?

[old marlin]

exactly

but I can take my keeb to a meetup

not that many lan parties around anymore tho

also a hassle to go to one with whole setup anyways

[still loom]

https://tenor.com/view/its-an-illusion-creepy-jason-ink-master-s14e3-magic-gif-26755506

[old marlin]

btw any of the people here are gonna be at mechanicon?

[reef patrol]

@quartz token might know more about this.

[old marlin]

I mean I know that wooting is prob gonna be there

since they are a sponsor

[reef patrol]

I never fully understood our presence there, so I am abusing a cheeky ping, while providing info.

[old marlin]

there are odder ones there

like skypad or some random mobility analytics company

[pale sigil]

Prob the cheapest event to sponsor

[old marlin]

possible

I mean skypad is also gonna be on premise

dunno about that mobility company

rest is basically exclusively keyboard or keytboard related in some way shape or form

ig biggest outliers would be caseking and drop otherwise

[quartz token]

We are there yeah, not sure still exactly who will join. But Erik and me definitely will 😄

[pale sigil]

Awe

Wish I knew

Would have come over

[latent mural]

Yo I need some help

So basically I tried to turn on my PC but it didn’t turn on

And like it now just turns on a bit and turns off

I’ll send a video

[tropic nacelle]

Powersupply probablem? Maybe power cable in case is loose.

You'd need to check what's happening inside rather than relying just on the case fans showing you lights

[old marlin]

it's an innumerable amount of things that could cause basically exactly that

[limber trellis]

No beeps right? Could be psu

Could also try to unplug for like 15 min and replug and start it up again. Does magic sometimes

[latent mural]

Very dusty but I don’t see anything

[latent mural]

Wdym

[cursive summit]

https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/lg-86-inch-tv-recall-tipping-hazard-january-2023/

Wew

I think it was... @prisma crag who was looking for a massive screen?

[limber trellis]

Your PC can return “beeps” if there is a problem found in the POST. No beeps usually means it doesn’t even get to POST. Unplug PC from outlet for 15 min, retry. Still same issue is maybe a PSU problem but if you don’t know what you’re doing seek a professional

[reef patrol]

I might be wrong, but that looks like some 3rd/4th gen motherboard. I highly doubt it beeps without a speaker connected.

(Sees brunkager)

[latent mural]

rip still doesn’t work

I unplugged it and turned off power

Gonna just take it into service

Sucks because I wanted to play rd2 but I’ll just do it tomorrow

[reef patrol]

Yeah if you have a local PC repairman, that's probably not a bad idea. It could be a LOT of things.

Something as simple as a borked BIOS, that needs a reset to a dead RAM stick or CPU. So many things to test one at a time on a checklist

[latent mural]

I was playing a game and my fan was on like max power for the whole time

wdym

What is that 💀

How do I fix it tho

Funny thing is I don’t hold my cock while I piss 💀💀💀

Let it free roam

bro I haven’t seen a more accurate description

[ashen spindle]

the ram is in the two black colored slots I think

[latent mural]

Is the problem ram?

[ashen spindle]

likely some oem ram that is super thing

[limber trellis]

Yeah its the thin ramsticks

The oldschool ones

[ashen spindle]

nah on the picture it just looks like as if its missing lol

[latent mural]

Bro what does that mean

Do you know what the problem is

[limber trellis]

No

[ashen spindle]

no it just means on the picture it looks like as if its missing

but its not

thats all

[latent mural]

Rip

[limber trellis]

Def let the repairman dust it out as wwll

Or get some compressed air and do it yourself

[latent mural]

Probably

Dawg I just bought it off some guy

He like put old parts together into a pc

nah

:')

[frozen ingot]

the best

the os could have used some improvements sure

Even still mid tier processors are probably the go to for the most part or extreme part for battery

High end has issues as far an Qualcomm goes which I feel like they manage to hide sorta, which happens some number of generations

Would be nice if mediatek produced processors for the US so we have radios

They are doing well as far as battery goes and chips can be overclocked without much consequence so long as thermal management is there

Can you use the Raspberry Pi 400 as just a keyboard if you wanted to?

plugged into another device

[empty wren]

Probably if you configure it correctly

Though why not just get a dedicated keyboard instead at that point

[wheat plume]

I was just wondering cause I just saw someone using an RP keyboard for his steam deck dock

[empty wren]

Speaking of I do not understand why usually even high end keyboards have meh cpus though

Since they could have cool features by now maybe some hyper fast polling

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah put a 7950X in my keyboard goshdarnit

[empty wren]

I mean if it is thick enough and has the cooling why not

Yeah

But some of them are one of cades

[crimson wigeon]

Final mouse keyboard might do such things

[empty wren]

Yeah but only cuz they lost relevance

Mouse holes everywhete

And a few without fully extruded mouse holes

[wheat plume]

🤣

[gusty kiln]

I bet they vibrate

I actually like the look of that board

unlike their other boards

[wheat plume]

or spring mounted so they can wobble slightly horizontally with wrist movement

[old marlin]

eh

the height is not so much a problem

"proper" typing posture doesn't have your wrist touching your desk anyways

[sharp badger]

https://youtu.be/K7ykd4vf1Rc I kinda like it though

[old marlin]

eh

I would use it

have no problem with the layout

has some stuff I don't need/want (wireless, wireless charging) which increase price

it also not coming in kit form but with switches and caps I don't want is also not good

also massively expensive

better typing feel and sound

and more easily useable for people that are used to more normal keyboards

if I can get one aftermarket for a good price in a color I like I might

but not for the 800 something that was charged for it

it very much is

a lot of money goes into the design of that board

complex machining

a lot of parts

so price has to be high

aka

boring

still in love with my F1

board is just too good

I mean I also do

but that doesn't go for noise that I make

I love living in a region that isn't just a giant ass plane

so I can't hear the giant autobahn that is next to the town I live in
