So what exactly did he do
This shit better be free
Because if it crashed or somehow was made worse?
I wouldn’t know the next step of trouble shooting, then didn’t want a bigger problem on my hands
What he did seems like a logical troubleshooting step
I have a MCA and it may be since I got the 9070xt and had issues with pc again
Like few days later
What did he do simplified?
Made it so the mobo wouldn't try to autodetect what it had plugged into its pcie slot
As sometimes that can cause problems if it fucks up during the autodetect
4 diff gpus on system 💀
Do u think riser cable is fucked
Or my issue was likely fixed
Hoping they don’t have to reimage OS, but if they do then shiit oh well
only testing it will tell
I’m going to leave it there for a week
there will be a 5080ti?
probably
huh
Think MSI might be the first with it, its been teased a few times and they dropped AMD
Everyone's trying to be the next EVGA
no? no aib gets first dibs at a new sku they all get it at the same time
if they announce the 5080 ti later on do you think they will fumble that too quin?
no idea, we know where the performance would roughly be so all depends on price
@unkempt lake
And @ashen spindle
And one of u guys @ someone
I asked him what he thinks killed the other 2 gpus
I’m assuming the crashes
yeahhhhhhhhhh that sounds strange
Ah yes. Gen Gen.
But that is correct. Riser cables have generations, and if the BIOS isn't set accordingly, that can cause a lack of boot.
Hoping this is all there is to it
And that it’s fixed finally
Hopefully…
just fix these problems yourself instead of wasting money on other people "trying" to fix it
time to brick my computer using DDU for the first time 🔥
(im not even sure if it worked)
@zenith silo
Drivers can definitely cause issues with 4 different gpus
But I'm still confused how the gpus died
Still so wild how you had so many die😭 😭
are you buying used gpus?
Yea, but I upgraded tho, 7900xt to 7900xtx to 9070xt
No, microcenter give me them
9070xt open box but got it for free
you built your pc or the people at micro center?
Family member built it for me
Pc was fine for like 2 years straight
they're not dead...
its just stupid software issues
because of the riser
its why swapping the gpu never fixes it...
Didn’t get it replaced sadly
Out of stock, don’t think I need to get a new one tho?
I am upgrading my motherboard today. Can i use my old sata ssd and hdd plug in a new motherboard? I have a windows installed in my sata ssd.
yes
Hi mom
As long as you aren't using any kind of encryption on those drives? Yes.
no encryptions at all
tmw a bunch of 5060/5060tis are... pcie5 8x...
meaning everyone who has a pcie3 mobo gets FUCKED
does it though? has anyone tested the scaling?
inb4 .5% difference
the cards aint out yet but in pure bandwidth pcie3 owners will get fucked
do they though? has anyone tested the scaling?

Why would you use an x8 port anyhow?
because the card is pcie5x8...
Oh it has fewer pins? That's neat. Real neat.
exactly
Well - Get with the program I guess. Not like anyone should buy a 5060 to begin with.
on a pcie4 board it won't matter
Clown tax.
bbut on a pcie3 board its gonna be painful
can be a lot in certain games
not the same card, scaling can be better or worse with other cards
if you buy a riser for making a case work and can only get a 5060, sorry should've budgeted better xD
I got my Gen3 riser just when Gen4 came out and burned out left and right due to poor QC.
Didn't want to risk it.
considering it's still not a massive improvement... cutting a solid few % off it would be painful
and maybe make the card not as big of an upgrade as people will anticipate
making it an even more mid product
and... 18% difference with RT on
for scaling
They say it's a 20% uplift between 4060 ti and 5060 ti
that means we could have results where you get a whopping 2% improvement from upgrading
🤣
you can not take numbers from a different card and assume its the same scaling
i know
its just an educated guess
we know there will be an impact tho
we just dont know by how much
yes pcie speeds double each gen, that in a vaccum means nothing
i think 2% is too generous of an "impact"
the point is we dont know unless you know what bandwidth blackwell cards currently make use of in games?
dont think anyone has tested it yet
we ahve 5090 pcie scaling numbers but that could be a better or worse result than on a 5060
yes so thus we have no clue how big the impact would be if we dont know what speed the data is actually using
you can assume or guess but certainly not to a 2% difference result
7 years between 3.0 and 4.0. mmm
Calm down
Is it risky to turbo boost the AMD CPU?

Let me look
For the ram
Why that ram
Is it for asthetics?
Because you can get cl30 patriot viper non rgb for basically the same price
And the cl36 version is cheaper
Is it because you wanted pretty lights?
Personally i'd buy the cl30 patriot viper kit
non rgb
@somber coral
oh thx lmao, i was looking for non rgb lol
couldnt find them for below the price of rgb
get rgb
its matx no point
bro is finally going somewhere with this list
bro gayming dude
doing that without the ming
thats why he got the rgb🤯
probably not
you could prob take 3 off
2 in the very front, 1 at the very back (after moving one to the middle back)
I took four off
mfw steam trains were faster than current US high speed rail
btw js asking does the regular wooting 60 he fit the optinum case or is it only the wooting60he+
Both will fit - 60HE and 60HE+ are identical in dimensions 
Thanks!
And also, does the wooting plate kit with the ansi layout fullly support the wooting60he
and what materialo is trhe plate made out of

%¤&#¤% Youtube. Stop fucking with the video rows every so often at random. Give me a setting 😄
Greatest Christmas show
I gotta rewatch it at some point since I haven't seen it since I was a kid
Gotta scale YT to 80% now just to get four videos in a row showing.
Holy mother of upcharging. (Now in USD)
microsoft activation scripts, however…
Let's keep it legal.
They aren't, practically.
nice, a cheaper option
I guess if there's a place that should learn how to use linux, it would be people who can't afford it
Or are already paying for corporate licenses, which don't require per-device purchases.
So receiving an unlicensed machine and not paying for a license would be highly beneficial.
Corporate orders make deals directly anyway where windows can just be skipped
And if your company tells you so but your own laptop you should likely find a new company xD
Not always, no.
I've sold plenty of licenseless laptops to smaller companies, who don't have the kind of pull to do contracts for OS less laptops with distributors.
And I've also had my fair share of Microsoft spies, trying to catch us in a lie, selling machines in ways we're not allowed to.
Odd, you don’t really need pull for a contract as a business, I think this company got a deal with the hardware seller when they were just 10 people or less in the start.
To get good deals? You absolutely do.
For basic deals that include don’t charge us for windows I mean
Yes - Ones that most distributors don't stock in abundance (here at least)
Fun fact - in EU you can send request to manufacturer for refund of preinstalled Windows licence

i'd rather not watch youtube on my phone 😅
Don't pay those assholes for YT premium 
TIL
Too late
I watch a lot of YouTube on my Apple TV though so convenient ad free is nice
I also get the student discount still
Wish I could do away with ads on my Android TV 
They're even baked into the home screen.
SmartTube 
I'm using it on my Android TV box
Doesn't fix my home screen ads though sadly.
I don't really have an issue with paying for Premium, especially for only £8 per month. Google are very good with sharing the revenue back to monetised creators and I watch a lot of content on YouTube.
No way in hell Twitch will ever make me pay for Turbo though, they can keep it.
Google won't get a penny out of me
Constant porn ads on YouTube, when I wanted to watch a video on fresh OS I got 4 30 second unskippable ads, and creators are getting paid jack shit for ads
There must be value if I buy something, opting me out from something I don't want is not value
It also doesn't skip in-video ads, which are just as annoying.
HUEHUEHUE SEGUE TO OUR SPONSORZ
SponsorBlock was such a upgrade 
I can't say I've ever seen a porn ad on YouTube or other mainstream internet platforms.
I've seen some shit ads for products I'd never buy, or Amazon just advertising their own stuff on Twitch, but nothing that's outright bad.
That means you are pure of heart
Maybe it's just a UK thing, I know ads are regional on a number of these platforms?
And legit companies want to advertise in the UK on all these websites?

Yeah I've not seen porn ads where I am, but I have seen horny ads like those dating mobile games that probably are just citybuilders in disguise
I have vanced on my tablet and phone for sponsorblock
Something something Evony.
But I have YouTube premium family in Egypt for like £2 a month
Fuck you mean Discreetly? 
That thing is still around?
Imagine actually giving websites the ability to deliver them in the first place
It used to be easy with pihole 
In regards to YouTube
Everything else is easy to block
I even blocked itvplayer ads etc
Xbmc ftw
apple tv 
You can jailbreak it but tbh just yeet it for a fire stick
Still has ads
Fire stick has ads
where
Nowhere near as bad as webos
And you can kinda bypass most of them
The ads are for shit on Apple TV but it still adds
you dont see them outside of the apple tv app tho?
For me it's just the first window showing prime shows, however you can have it automatically land on the main page Vs ad banner
I think he thinks you meant the box
Not the service itself
i do
The entire home screen is an ad
Exactly
you see the content of the app - in the photo its hovering on the apple tv app
if you go to netflix it shows netflix stuff
Which is where it defaults to when you power on
The TV app is a content aggregator
Even if Netflix refuse to support it for some reason
no it defaults to the position you where at last
You can't have an ad free apple experience with only your own content
Unplug it and then plug it back in
It defaults to the Apple TV app
My dad has one in his rv and it does it every time it powers on
Even though he only uses it for YouTube and Plex
Either way
lemme try
Yes but not xbmc
Mine fucking plays actual commercials a window
Lol
Sounds and everything
I never bothered using webos except for 4K content before I got a 4k fire stick
Idk what ads are ubless I got someone else's house
streaming services are depressing these days
mine defaults to the first app
However I have an old version of webos
Looks like webos still plays commercials
Vs ads for content
does your dad have apple tv on the first slot by chance
I'm glad that I disconnected my C2 from Ethernet and WiFi. All firmware updates are done via USB now.
That's only when the cursor is sitting on an app and generally it just shows shit you watched recently
Ex if iwarched shrek on netflix i'll see a shrek thumbnail and it will be like continue watching:
I wish the BBC would actually update their tvOS app for iPlayer so it supports 4K HDR and subtitles.
Or some crap
it just got one bug that is annoying sometimes
@sonic adder why is my mouse rocking back and forth on the glasspad
is this shit uneven?
use dot 
4 dots on
how is it rocking with 4 dots
because the bottom of the mouse isnt perfectly flat
that base is rip
its a lamzu atlantis mini
ye but 4 dots can kinda help if the flex isnt too weird
are you sure none of the dots are accidentally put on raised edges?
ie the edges for stock skates
im sure that mouse is a piece of shit
ill just stick to the beast x it doesnt have that problem
i had my ulx rocking once but i think it was just because i wore my skates unevenly, switching their places helped, but if the dots are brand new its a bit more cooked
put them on yesterday
froggie also says you kinda have to like ware them in
do like figure 8s with your mouse on the glass pad for a few minutes (is what he said)
wont that completely kill the skates tho
woah thats not feasible
not in this economy
i can finally take my gacha gaming to a new level
So I'm looking to get into 3D printing to make more accessories and mounts for my set up. And I'm probably gonna get a resin printing for fine details printing miniatures later on. I've been building a black and yellow set-up for years now and it turns out to be unbelievablely difficult to get a uniform yellow color across accessories. And buying 3d printed parts online is a mixed bag typically resulting in a lot of eyesore highlighter yellow. So my question is. Does anyone know which resin out there has that perfect wooting yellow? Bright but like not an eyesore.
fr
how does a "60 ti" not even come close to previous gen 70 non ti
why youre having issues with your oled?
no i just wanted to know
deer up to something
mini led superiority
i have the screen turn off in windows after a minute for the savings
but honestly a screen saver might be better, looks pretty
need one with the presence sensor
when i have a chance to play doom its awesome on oled
I'm from the future and I just have to say that microled wins! Look at how bright my monitor gets in hdr:
oled jeff is peak obvs
maximum bubble quality
Same my retinas get burned
who cares about brightness
i havent touched that game in a minute lol
also why is 10% brighter then 2%
i think 300-400 nits sdr is perfectly fine for me
People that like: BFI, good HDR
any higher and i feel the fatigue
100nits sdr is all i need
I agree for sdr
But for hdr my preference is way higher. Much higher than any consumer monitor can give me
to some extent ig
Dont really use hdr mainly cuz my games dont support it best
At leasst windows has autohdr
Most "big" games work flawlessly with it
One of the reasons why bfi was probably dropped on LG oleds is due to low brightness as it reduces brightness of the already weak dim displays. So if you're a bfi fan you should be a fan of brightness 😡
Yeah ghost of tsushima was probably the best, next to destiny 2
For the games i tried at least
The sony games in general just pop
there is enough brightness they just dont care about us
Ratchet, spiderman,...
LG CX at 120 hz with bfi was super dim
The hdr is nice on those
Id have to calibrate it again in windows cuz now i have the asus and not the lg
I like the asus’s presets though
that thing is also pretty old
Yeah using the windows hdr app is a MUST
a monitor with 200+ nits sdr should have bfi ....
Agree
Brightness hasn't improved that much anyway
LG CX on left, C4 on right. The C4 model here is bigger than the CX one even
Ok yeah having screensaver instead of turn off display is definitely better lol
1 minute blank screensaver with 15 minute display turn off seems to be the move
For the C series it certainly hasn't
g5 has like 330 100% and 2300 peak
in filmmaker mode too
although these numbers arent that important when the color brightness is still pretty low
White subpixels...
But yes that should be able to do much brighter bfi than CX. Shame they gutted it
i'm from the futurer future and i have to say nanoled is even better
Yes. I don't want to pay high-end money for noticable colour dilution. My C2 had that and it was calibrated well even
where is cheap microled
But past a certain brightness on HDR the white subpixels kick in and it noticeably dilutes the colours
Microled doesn't have a very bright future ahead imo. It seems like it's about to be supplanted by cheaper tech before ever becoming viable for normal people
Which is fine to me as long as the alternatives are good and not super expensive
it seems like the most straightforward option if we could manufacture it
if we
Well get to it then 😡
i could never get into this show it was too adhs

restricting access to mature content is a good thing in theory but in practice the means to doing such a thing are usually extremely invasive

Tips penguin M'distro.
Damnit why you gotta make Miku mid range Asus. Anyone who really loves Miku wants a Miku 5090
the miku gpu is China only anyway right
Yeah
I need to get good keycaps
hey guys, if i can get a 4090 for 1100 usd, it is worth?
If u yeah sure
But i would checkout the gpu with ur hands in a system
is very uncommon to see a 4090 for 1100 usd right?
Yeah and its sounds like a scam lmao
Soo just go and meet up with the seller at their house with a live test in pc
i was wondering, i'm not about to buy it, but i didn't knew what the usual prices of the 4090 are
yeah i would do that if i ended up buying it
thanks
Check ebay or something like that or even Jawa
check sold listings in your area to know prices, we dont know what prices are like in your area
they're a little bit worse bro
like the 4090 usually are for 3000 usd or even more
and that if you are lucky, because it's so difficult to find one
Says little 3x price difference
in a phisical store or in a online store
sometimes it's even worse
Considering that nvidia doesnt make that gpu anymore
A used 4090 in Hungary is 1900$
wow
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
For 1100$ its either just a cooler or the whole gpu but without the chip
miku 9070XT for cals please
Asus never dose cool amd GPU stuff
miku gpu
just saw it in a thiojoe video but... damn even updated from the original 1-65535 its not better this way. wtf nintendo
That's a lotta ports.
I bought a wooting uwu and all the keys double click consistently, even if I put in new switches. What is going on, I am not tech savvy.
debounce? I assume, but it's probably more fit for #1019755933959733258
with ur wootility settings as well
what should i look for in the settings?
whats ur actuation point and rapid trigger settings dude
try put them on a higher scale
bet
My ISP doesn't even allow me to portforward port 1080, why would they need so many ports 😭
i think i fixed it no cap thank u goat

Ffs ordered 70 poms and needed 90 ow well have to have a few lekkers in the mix

This why I keep saying 50 series is ass
But we all know that 
Some people don't seem to know
Nvidia making gaming affordable 
no xD
the rtx 50-series is the best advertisement radeon has had in years
What can you do with the ai computers there making dgx spark and station
Seriously
9070xt is a great card. Unless you are like using blender professionally for movie work. Your pc would work great with a 9070xt.
AMD drivers are fine to today’s standards.
don't let the people who bought 5090 from scalpers see this
This is no biggie right, just dont huy
Goodbye iPhone 
https://youtu.be/t0vjMTN63Dw?
8gb vram is just diabolical 😭
third launch in a row where the budget cards get 8gb
pay more you get 16gb
next up for amd: flash 9070xt bios onto the 9060
for virtually same performance ill pass
4090 was the steal of the century
ehhhhhhhhhhhh
not really
was still overpriced as fuck
buying 4090 for 2k ❎
buying 2k of nvidia stock ✅
well this was done first in their enterprise segment
Is UDNA going to address productivity? also I really would love to get a 9070XT but I can't fit one in my M2 in its current config
Gonna be tough to crack cuda
Yeah they have ROCm it just isn't as good in most cases and would take a lot of work to get companies to bother to support it properly in their applications
supported gpus is rocky with rocm
ROCm is as performant, it just... was a little too late, everything runs on CUDA now
There was ZLUDA project, which got shut down by AMD... but v2 seems promising
But yeah, UDNA is basically fusion of CDNA and RDNA, so productivity will be one of the main things
like my laptop 6800s isnt one of them :/
my igpu isnt one of them
Yeah, official supports sucks too
For CUDA it was all Nvidia GPU ever since 700 series
For ROCm... XTX and Radeon VII
Plus PRO GPUs of course
Tensor cores are also just really good, don't think AMD has caught up on that hardware aspect either
they better support the strix halo
because lots of ppl are buying a framework desktop for ai
Raw performance of AI accelerators on AMD is more or less the same as Tensor cores... just that support sucks 
And Strix units have literally AI in the name, so I hope they are supported 
no support for the 9070(xt) either
But apparently it does work on that one. But yeah the compute support is pathetic
Thanks to the fact that drivers are open-source ROCm will work on any GPU with accelerators, so all RX 6000s and newer
But AMD did little to nothing to support them 
I knew that HP is a joke, but come on
The fact that trey tried to put shitty display in laptop and market it as "privacy feature" is one thing
But come on... NO SPEAKERS? 
teach me your ways because i cant get it working on my 6800s with ollama
Neither could I on my 6700XT 
I got it working on my 6700XT. Just installed rocm and it works ish
Well have not tried ollama yet
Okay just tried ollama it almost just works, had to use the magic env var HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 though. But with that set it uses the GPU and generates AI slop real fast
Players rave and rant about the wonders of kernel level anti cheats, and how games like Valorant barely have any cheaters compared VAC secured Counter Strike servers.
But are they as good as people claim?
This video is a deep dive into the world of cheating, how cheaters typically cheat at video games, and how they continue to cheat on games tha...
one of the few videos where I can bear an ai voice over
gpt4.1 isn't bad for coding
soon valorant ban
rootkit anticheat considered a privacy threat
That actually would be a good thing 
Would force devs to make an actual working anticheat instead of hammering kernel
i doubt they can do that
its pretty clear paid workers cant outmatch the passionate degenerates online
Move anti-cheat from client to server side for most things
Keep local one for local hacks like wallhack, but these don't need kernel access
Pay the online degenerates to make the anti cheat
Just lock down the operating system like it's a console 
Worked for Denuvo 
wheres empress
Probably just lost it completely 
If anything they would say you need a anti cheat made by an American owned company so you just get the same but it’ll just be worse for riots games lol
The privacy aspect is just a pr reason for why they look into banning deepseek stuff
China already has all our data this is just a pissing war
why is marvel rivals pushing dogshit ads on tiktok
Because people use TikTok for some reason 
yeah but does that game really need ads
they are super unprofessional and low effort
So what the tiktokers like
Seems like it works 
Advertising that works works
not really sure if they work
I’m surprised we don’t have more of the Xbox stuff in the Windows gaming ecosystem
The Xbox One still has no jailbreak
Because gamers rejected it.. well mostly
But the Xbox PC versions of games tend to be neglected by developers compared to Steam versions
56G?!
more than overwatch
Are there like some referral codes in this game or something?
I meant as a developer API toolkit, not as the actual platform.
So the GDK
We're halfway through this current generation and the previous generation Xbox, unlike PS4 or Switch, has no functional jailbreak that lets you do whatever you want.
one of the major downsides of game pass streaming is that its alwasy xbox games... so it always needs a controler
or crappy KB mouse support
You can install Linux and/or Windows on Xbox One and use games from MS Store though 
switch and ps4 both do?
unless i ran some undiscovered stuff on my ps4 and am running unknown tech on my switch

Maybe I'm wrong on the Xbox One but there's nothing close to a jailbreak in the traditional sense?
i really wanna do an uhm actually or maybe more a well technically on that
Go ahead, it would be fine to be corrected on this.
oh no the part about no layman cfw/ACE for xbox one and seires x/s is right
more about the term jailbreak as thats more traditionally just iphones
technically i guess cfw is also a type of jailbreak on any device where you normally have limited perms i guess
although especially on playstation side people cant seem to agree. they use jailbreak and cfw interchangeably and then there is HEN which is technically also a jailbreak.
for xbox idk what they call the new xbox 360 stuf grimdoomer released but traditionally it was custom dash/modded console when you wanted to refer to them
360 only got a layman capable exploit recently as well
And even then it's unreliable and not persistent.
It's mostly useful for a less involved solder hack.
yep but thats basically ps4 levels before pppwn came out (unsure how stable that is)
I'm sure they'll find a permanent solution eventually.
Uhh we do have basically everything but the fact that it’s custom hardware? There isn’t any functionality that you could just add to pc that would magically improve anti cheats or the likes
Except you know... A completely locked down system with the ability to permanently ban machines.
Which is definitely not a good approach.
Yea and that’s not something they could do with just software on a pc so that’s not something we would get
technically they could. they could do it like nintendo where you got console specific certificates to connect to a network.
pay for the cert on pc. costs 100 or 150bucks. no cert = no online game
But that’s not a hardware feature so it can be circumvented
how
its not circumvented on the switch either
the network refuses connection if you cant provide a valid signed cert
unless the signing keys leak i dont know how youd circumvent this
Oh was thinking of something else hmm I guess technically that could be hard to break but wouldn’t be something that could work on on pcs unless the emote ecosystem gets fucked

Was waiting for GN to talk about this.
Sponsor: ID-Cooling Frozn A720 Black on Amazon https://geni.us/VDnou4Y
This video is about the WinRing 0 driver (not to be confused with Security Ring 0, but related in this story) and how it has propped-up the fan control and RGB industry for over a decade now. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, security updates have broken this code, resulti...
rgb industry?
theyre like replacing the old files with new ones, so it will stay teh same file size
scared me too the first time hahah
The code that most RGB apps use to control it use an old, kernel level driver that Microsoft killed off recently iirc?
So now everyone have to make their own, user mode stuff, or use MS's RGB system I guess?
Good
ah so nothing of value was lost 🧌
Depends on who you are I suppose.
In the positive it means RGB apps no longer should be able to tamper with other devices.
In the negative, it means scrambling for a solution on a per-manufacturer basis.
TLDR; Everyone was complacent and just used the simple and easy solution, without looking to the future.
They could just use dynamic lighting without requiring their apps open
I believe SignalRGB were one of the few to make their own drivers, specifically anticipating this?
Or at least I've never gotten dynamic lighting to reliably work with Razer and Logitech peripherals without having to keep something else running in the background.
Well... no. You need some kind of software to tell RGB how to behave.
Yeah but that would mean they wouldn't be able to wall you into their garden as easily!
It's a good watch. Apps have been built upon apps that rely on a driver that ceased development fifteen years ago - and no one thought to resolve that till MS pulled the certification 😄
I would actually kinda like if companies used Microsoft’s RGB stuff
Unless your device has some niche features that need specific controls let me control the colors with the OS
I found a 9800x3d for $350 should i buy it and sell my 7800x3? Im on 4k will i even get more fps
Depends on the game, most of the time no but certain games are so cpu bottleneck that you will get more fps even at 4k
I still remember when I was in highschool and my friend would hand mod 360's with a bunch of data lines that transmitted an exploit directly to the hard drive while it boots through just loose fucking raw wires
It looked like someone trying to make frankenstines monster lol
depends
also depends on what "dynamic" means
Sure. Some RGB hardware can retain settings, but for most of them, they need a constant barrage of instructions.
That includes my Corsair iCue stuff. It's all dumb hardware, even the big controller unit.
yea
at least razer stopped putting really dumb rgb controls in their devices
they still somewhat arbitrarily limit the "on device" effects because average users apparently are too stupid to know why some would be restricted and some wwould work
And for any kind of reactive stuff like "mah music", you need a background service to feed that data onto hardware. Which Microsoft's RGB API might be able to do? I haven't look into it. But you're also limited by what they want you to do, and any potential cross device/brand syncing.
yea obv
roccats (rip) aimo™️ system would dynamically react to it's own inputs
but to sync up devices you would still need software running
My Corsair stuff is so dumb. It can't do the correct colours while uncontrolled, using identical RGB values. So my RGB changes its effects and colours once Windows boots up. And if I am unzipping or installing something, taking up the CPU, my RGB will literally start lagging.

being on the side of having seen the razer perspective.... most people actually dont know what rgb effects can run on device and which cant
I love rgb
yea and razer prob has to deal with dumber customers than wooting since they still do a lot of sales in brick and mortar stores
which is also why they push their software via windows update
i dont think its dumb people but uninformed
bit of both
I wish I had gigabit 😛 but that would cause me to be thrown on "smallband" quicker
if you hit 3TB on gigabit here you get 20Mbps down and 2Mbps up 😄
Watching the video, seems like a case of https://xkcd.com/2347/ from the first 2 minutes
Should have waited, he did his job linking the relevant xkcd.
But the funny part is that in this case said project was abandoned by the maintainer 15 years ago or so
Sounds like windows software yea,
Abandoned/No longer anyone paying for recertification.
So everyone kept using the "free", heavily outdated and insecure version.
It's far from the only thing, I don't know if office still does it but it hapily ran macro's on untrusted spreadsheets or other office documents for a very long time.
Wow, Nvidia msrp is real Apparently
https://tweakers.net/nieuws/234086/steeds-meer-videokaarten-leverbaar-voor-adviesprijs-maar-amd-prijzen-staan-stil.html
Aftere watching oof the whole concept of that driver is pretty bad, and really should not exist.
For the cards people don't really want yes
5070ti isn't bad
finally bit the bullet and got a psvita
yeah 5070ti is fine but that one doesnt have a FE so the msrp will never be really hit xD
I got rid of mine many years ago, do they still fully work? 🤔
So did you get the oled or the newer model?
and if you have a 3g model you can replace that with a psvsd to get a microsd internally and keep the gamecard slot free
pch-11xx
oled with 3g
Ah, got the same one, have not used it in years though. at the time there were no options to use the game card or micro-sd slot so I have a decently sized first party storage card (also used of course)
wait the vita was oled?
Original model
Yes. the launch model was oled, they later replaced it with lcd.
It's not a great oled though, but it certainly is oled.
I believe they dropped to LCD for the second revision
Still a pretty nice screen for a handheld in it's size for the most part.
afaik better than the lcd still but thats only research on the nrt. havent seen both next to each other irl
I think at the time I came to the same conclusion, but was a good while a go
they just weren’t playing fast enough
Also colored spots on greys are a thing, which they didn't really work around.
As in uneven brightness
at least the slim vita had micro usb (my beloved) instead of the goofy old plug 😔
Bazzite 42 releases today alongside Fedora 42, bringing BETA support for the MSI Claw handhelds, improved HDR support under both GNOME and KDE, and various improvements throughout the project! HDR Support As of GNOME 48 HDR support is now generally available. KDE Plasma 6.3.4 has also made numerous improvements to their HDR support! If you want...
FUCK YEAH!!!!
it really was but i felt like they didnt push out a lot of games
thats fair
i really enjoyed the og psp and psp slim
i didnt get my hands on the vita
I was thinking of buying a vita if I feel like it while I'm in Japan
(this pic came from reddit)
hell yeah
👴
👴
I think I had a psp for a bit when I was younger, they were kinda goofy with the tiny disks
and I had a steam deck for a little bit too
so vita seemed like a fun one to try if I find a cheap one
I was surprised by how expensive they are here
you'll probably find a nice one in japan
they always got secret gems in that country
vita >>>> 3ds for handheld modding
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Arcira/saved/Dj3QGX alr chat am i pressing buy
nice list
oh what
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Radeon RX 9070 XT, Lian Li A3-mATX MicroATX Mini Tower
nyat bad
seems alright, not kowing CA prices could maybe save a bit if you are fine with 48gb ram by going 2x 24gb
but the rest seems fine
2x24gb are all 7000mhz+, the ones aruond 6000 are still more xpensive
ah alright
maybe these but im losing 12gb of ram for 400mhz
u mean 16
yeah sorry i just woke up
dose anyone have canada computer or newegg coupon
eh ever since that got somewhat well known i find it harder and harder to find actual good deals in japan
wait thats not bad
thats mine
yeah but its qd oled
yes… that is what i have
yeah but my room is like pretty well lit
its a matte screen
i dont see any issues here 
alr we clicking buy on this one?
or do i buy an aoc monito
do you have a best buy near you
can someone help me with my wooting problem? keyboard won't detect enter key and no graph movement shown in analog-monitor.wootility.io then buggy with the right shift key, i've tried to unplug 5 seconds not touching anything after replugging, troubleshooting on wootily web, changing switches, keyboard restoring/ reset on wootily.
480hz 1440p oled is like touching heaven
we do not need 480hz 😭🙏
480hz is like cold water after you woke up during mid night
you dont need to drink
but its just so good
what games other than valorant are you running at 480hz
i think 360 is the highest ill ever go
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes
360 also super based
was gonna get dual mode then realised i cant run val at 480, even with 9070xt
cool get it from them and ask if they price match
arent you getting a 9800x3d
yeah
also you most definitely can get 480
same thing, its an x3d

sacrifice your brother
thanks for the suggestion mr 6'2
i have a 7700x and im playing max settings @450-500fps
no problem
wtf
happy birthday by the way uncle
ok im still not getting dual mode too broke for that shit
happy birthday boomer
you can easily go over 700 fps with that and a 9070xt
is it your birthday
yes
at 1440p?
haha your birthday is the same as my friend whos like a 40 year old
*acts likes he 40
what the fuck are these numbers LMAO
pulling straight out of their ass
are we copping btw
you can get 400fps on val with a pc thats sub 1000€ super easily. if not 500fps
i lowk want the knife
bro these numbers are unreal 😭
unless youre willing to et me 1k i still cant afford it 
ts had to have been made by the guy who runs userbenchmark
unc said ts 😭😭😭😭😭
i get like 240fps on haven specifically 300-400 on the rest
on ascent custom rn
where tf did they get these numbers from
exactly bro thats what im saying
has to be the guy running userbenchmarks
shitting on amd lol
pooped out ig
you can get like over 120 fps all high on an i3 6100 and 1050 ti
also val doesnt even have an ultra option 😭
that guy knows something we dont
he knows the method
valorant with RT

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/9HTZxr/gigabyte-b650m-gaming-plus-wifi-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-gaming-plus-wf opinions on this board instead
get another asrock board or msi
yeah im just saying its pretty clean
mATX?
fuck gigabyte
i hate the rgb but'
my case is matx
oh
my gpu is gigabyte :D
i havent boughtr it yet
but it probably will be
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/nfyH99/asus-tuf-gaming-b650m-e-wifi-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-tuf-gaming-b650m-e-wifi this one works as well
i just dont like gigabyte mobo

Ya
i am NOT paying for another 30$ shippiing
The link i sent you has free delivery :)
too late
Yayyyy
i forgot to buy my ssd from newegg
its fine i havent placed the order yet
actually wait if i give him my 980 pro he dosent need it
It's fine there's good deals on ssds often
ill just give him one of my 3 ssds
theres actually 4am deliveries??
probably
wait i just bought two cpu coolers
i should not be doing this this late at night
we got a genius on our hands
double the cooling 🔥
i was wondering why it was 100$ for a 50$ cooler
howd i save this much wtf happened
being smart with your money and not being dumb choosing parts 
no i checked the prices like 45 minutes ago and its 50$ cheaper then that
bro bought 2 coolers
that’s why it’s 50 less
nono not that
nevermind my mom literally just told me i spent too much ._.
how much is a 7800xt vs 9070xt new
260$
ill keep the mobo
and psu
we're doing this ig
don’t need extra case fans?
its matx do i?
depends, how many does it come with
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/CjFmP6/lian-li-a3-matx-microatx-mini-tower-case-a3-matx-x i cant even find how many it supposrt
well this answers my question
10x120 wtf
get a 5 pack of p12 maxs
case fans
yeah ik
if you cant get a 5 pack of p12 maxes get 5 singles 
it might be a bit more that way but what can ya do
https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/BDL_MM00004648 ig we're doing this
actually you might need more than 5
does the cpu cooler even fit in the matx case
how tf do i check
look up the cooler measurements, look up case specs
every case should say what the max cpu cooler height is
Good case I use it

its gonna be tight, this doesnt account for actual mounting it to the motherboard
couldnt i just put the cooler on first then mount mobo'
