[analog sinew]

someone who does not have a screwdriver should probably not solder

[dull hollow]

if it already doesnt turn on and doesnt work then..

[digital cliff]

just grab the iron and go to town

[analog sinew]

i like how this is actual advice that can work masquerading as fake advice

[analog sinew]

yesss

[unkempt lake]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt7A4wHvRtk

[warm goblet]

What is solder?

Like do i need more than just a screwdriver to put it back into place

[analog sinew]

yes

you need... to solder

[warm goblet]

Can i take it to like an electronics shop to fix it?

[analog sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/diy-solder-soldering-computers-gif-3451061

[warm goblet]

I’m sorry im not well educated with electronics so idk what that is

[analog sinew]

yeah a repair shop should be able to resolder a port

thanks for the bricks, i shall build us an abode

[warm goblet]

Alright thank you

[zenith arch]

[wheat plume]

OMFH FINALLY, we can move the fucking toolbar in Chrome to the bottom

you need to enable it in chrome://flags though

Oh...you don't need to use the flags

[pale sigil]

Why would you want it at the bottom

Also hasn't it always been on the bottom on iOS? Lol

[wheat plume]

Yes
Safari, Firefox and Duckduckgo browser always had this

I think Edge Browser too

Edge even has extensions on phone now

[wheat plume]

Easy to reach

[marsh glade]

Because people buy phones that are too big, and this is a bandaid to a symptom of that disease

[sudden imp]

Phones are relatively large by default now

But I do prefer the search bar being closer to the keypad by default

[unkempt lake]

I feel like ~6inches is a good size that's not too big

I'm happy with my 14 pro and was happy with my X

the max models just feel too big

[sudden imp]

Yeah I got a 14 pro rn aswell.

Max is a small tablet at is this point

[lyric hatch]

Tough to find phones under 6.1" nowadays

[sudden imp]

Cases also just add more bulk

[halcyon moss]

S25u here, s21u before. Sometimes I think this phone is too small

[misty matrix]

tbh I think 6" is about the ideal size

???

[digital cliff]

i don't know about the screen sizes but the iphone size is great, would even want the iphone mini size

shame there have been no phones in this size category for 5 years

that are affordable anyway

[devout raptor]

i went bigger to read manga

didnt help much doe

[halcyon moss]

[devout raptor]

I do NOT miss clippy, but it's a fun little reference..

[analog sinew]

at least the old one was preprogrammed and therefore nota liar

GNOME Desktop regression

[halcyon moss]

Gnome she'll works very good for me.
I don't really miss old gnome

Also, it's been soooo many years

[wheat plume]

is pretty <3

the fact that SAVE is in the DROPDOWN MENU is really freaking stupid .-. it should be in the headerbar

[halcyon moss]

Learn your shortcuts :p

Or a decent editor, like gvim

[wheat plume]

I use them..but the Save used to be in the headerbar but this new editor removed it :/

[halcyon moss]

I agree though. But save is done on exit as well

[wheat plume]

Nah, This editor acts like VS Code xd if you exit, it saves the state

oh wait..not anymore

[ashen spindle]

Ctrl-S to save is like the universal key in literally anything how are you looking for a menu point for that

[wheat plume]

yeh but for users who dont know that shortcut

Then the save button is missing...

There are many people who use computers every single day that still use the context menu to copy and paste

yes

dont forget the esc first if you are in insert mode

[digital cliff]

i don't get how to use vi for text editing honestly, by the time I go edit a file I've forgotten every single command again and can't use it

[ashen spindle]

feel like the overlap of people who dont know shortcuts to save and people who use code editors is tiny so it doesnt really matter where it is in the context menu imo

assuming its not using esoteric shortcuts that are not the general norm

[digital cliff]

well, what lana's screenie is about is less a code editor and more just a general-purpose lightweight text editor

mostly meant for config files and the like

[plush stirrup]

My hate towards windows just increased, it keeps forcing me to schedule a time to update, I keep scheduling and clicking cancel, but now I don't have audio anymore lol at least the option to normally reboot is still there, wish me luck xD

[ashen spindle]

if you dont want updates use GPE

[plush stirrup]

I'm fine with updates, just not them forcing it on me 😛

and suddenly when they're forcing it on me my audio dies completely for the first time in, idk almost 2years, since whenever I have this PC

reboot gave me audio back at least 😛

USB as well as displayport audio stopped working, so not just one device

I mean at my internship windows also bullied me this way, it's really fun calling a customer and suddenly losing audio 🥲 and that was a fresh windows install with only basic software that company uses

[wheat plume]

no....you click that Reboot and it WILL apply the updates regardless

[ashen spindle]

no thats not the case

[wheat plume]

o

[frozen ingot]

why are the top two even an option when updates are queued

I put it to sleep and half hour later it'll wake up and attempt to update

[ashen spindle]

because if the update is there but not scheduled it will just lock/sleep and not reboot to update

[frozen ingot]

same with the restart/shut down without updating, you pick either and it'll still update

[plush stirrup]

It didn't update for me

if I wait long enough the restart/shut down without update will disappear

need to test something and I prefer not to update anything rn before I've done that 😛

[ashen spindle]

if a update is not actually scheduled to happen on restart, a restart wont apply it

[balmy vector]

More of a shut down fan

[sharp badger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps30hmBP4Tc Oh wow it's actually releasing lol

[wheat plume]

thumbnail gives me Houdini vibes

[sharp badger]

Also new unified fan frame 🤔 (Black & White alternatives)

[wheat plume]

oo those look CLLEEAAANNNNN

[sharp badger]

And phone lookin AIO screen

[marsh pewter]

iphone 9 ass screen

[pale sigil]

This'll be fine right?

[thick elk]

It's just AAA batteries, no real problem using this.

[halcyon moss]

That stuff though.. It's vile

[unkempt lake]

it's just water vapor dude

[marsh pewter]

not really

[unkempt lake]

you realize i'm just making fun of people who vape right?

[marsh pewter]

no

[unkempt lake]

i vape

grape flavor best flavor

[sudden imp]

nooooo oh nooo noo so bad ahhh for lung ahhda

[pale sigil]

they are great

[sharp badger]

Only seen those in the video so will have to see what releases once Phanteks have their event, can otherwise just turn off the RGB i'd guess, they could look quite nice in some builds with just white lighting

[sudden imp]

Okay I liked hytes cases but that literally looks like a blender render wtf

Im torn on the feel

[sharp badger]

The purple, neon green & pink look nice

[latent mural]

guys what is the new 60he about?

do i need it or just stick with my current one

[sudden imp]

https://youtu.be/37p6icPPoi0?si=yCBdpXusMWnHWXy9

fractals lighting being integrated with windows lighting stuff is sick

I love this cases look aswell very nice for your standard tower. I’m curious what their daisy chain fan solution is like in other cases and builds

https://youtu.be/AiekGcwaIho?si=OwhAnMAHtEtYqw4o

Welp guess it’s per the course for Nvidia BS.

Scummy behavior. It’s honestly disgusting that these people can sit here and try to manipulate for good coverage while having 90% market share.

Loved the “their drivers don’t even fucking work anyways”.

[sudden imp]

The fact that directors or managers will immediately put their employees in front of them as human shields is so shitty

[pliant ridge]

nice thanks for sharing

[somber coral]

im beginning to dislike nvidia more and more (started with them becoming an ai company, then not being ready for 50 series release, then the new drivers not being able to run marvel rivals)

[sudden imp]

Their practices is what is the grossest. They don’t have to do anything and still make money. The whole trying to manipulate the media is unnecessary.

I feel like GN hinted at a class action suit coming their way in the video.

With the 5070 = 4090 comment

[sudden imp]

Their drivers are being worse than AMD now lol

[marsh glade]

I picked the right gen to swap go Radeon

[lyric hatch]

True, not a lot of value to be had with Nvidia at the moment anyway

[sudden imp]

Fr, I like the no nonsense just a gaming gpu experience that AND is giving.

Oh are you at computex mark?

[somber coral]

Speak of the devil lmao now I got no display :D

[marsh glade]

Currently I'm two stops on the MRT away

[marsh glade]

So far so good!

[sudden imp]

Thats good! Wish all goes well. I’m going to try and sleep now it’s like midnight.

[halcyon moss]

So about this.. It's seems to be already quite a good year?

[unkempt lake]

i hate that you remembered this

[halcyon moss]

Hahahaha

Muhahaha

[jade olive]

Hi! I received my order number a few days ago.
Does anyone know how long it usually takes to ship from Hong Kong to Taiwan?
Really looking forward to receiving the keyboard—thank you!

[sudden imp]

What have we got this year though?

[unkempt lake]

Clair obecur, doom, ff rebirth

So far

Then next month its insanity

Switch 2

[lyric hatch]

Playing Clair obscur now

[unkempt lake]

Tony hawk

Donkey kong

Mario kart

Then stellar blade port

[marsh glade]

Split fiction

[unkempt lake]

Mafia

Yes split fiction as well

Which we alrwady got

Metroid, pokemon

[marsh glade]

Switchy Commits Tax Fraud

[lyric hatch]

Yeah but those games require buying switch 2

[marsh glade]

(not yet released though)

[unkempt lake]

soon for wooting buyers who message wooting about changing the price on the invoice

Nice improvement

[halcyon moss]

apparantly blue prince is also quite good

[unkempt lake]

I too love tax fraud

[sudden imp]

That’s a indie right?

[marsh glade]

I've been looking at this, will pick it up on sale

[halcyon moss]

its a game

[sudden imp]

I saw a couple of people playing it-

[unkempt lake]

Well i am

[lyric hatch]

I might eventually but not for those launch titles

[unkempt lake]

Mgs3 remake

[unkempt lake]

Fair, i personally also have a few switch 1 games left to finish like echoes of wisdom so

Enhancements for those are nice

[sudden imp]

Lowkey wanna emulate B&W

[unkempt lake]

Get the rombats ntevo roms

And have fun

Btw that reminds me i am really hoping i can snag some of the b&w anniversary tcg packs

I'll fucking cry if i can't

[lyric hatch]

Need another Super Mario Galaxy or Breath of the Wild to draw me in

[sudden imp]

I’d love another Mario galaxy game

[old marlin]

Kingdom come deliverance 2, new doom, bl4 and kf3 are also upcoming

[marsh pewter]

god I hope we don’t get another zelda game in this series

two mainline and two spinoffs are enough

well

if they make a really good game to finish off a trequel that would be nice

but i’m not sure what on earth they’d do for it

https://tenor.com/view/funny-team-hahaha-gif-18072160

[marsh pewter]

they still haven’t announced a mainline 3d mario game so galaxy 3 is entirely on the table

you won't know unless you try

Honestly could be fun to have Steve and Calder sit down and just talk shop about office ergonomics. Not a Wooting specific talk, just "how to sit here for hours on end - as we do, and not be in constant pain" 😄

[trim crane]

would be pretty neat if wooting does come up in the convo

[reef patrol]

Sure. I just remember Calder being very big on ergonomics, to the point where he's held entire TED talks about it internally 😄

[trim crane]

@topaz fog please don't hardcode WASD as movement considering there's not only AZERTY but all the other non-qwerty layouts in existence

i had 8 hours allow it

Add support to all keyboard layouts, but when it's AZERTY it crashes the game

[digital cliff]

ah didn't realize it was for a timed jam or so

[topaz fog]

the time limit was one work day

9070xt red devil went down to $749 5 minutes ago in amazon but Got sold out really fast . Whoever you are congrats you saved yourself from buying a 5070-5070ti

[ashen spindle]

I mean that’s still not a good deal lol

[vapid ruin]

If it cost as much as 4090 brand new, it's good

Also hope it can have mass adoption in AI

[crisp granite]

That genuinely seems wild

Interesting way to design a chording keyboard

plus the add ons are wild

hmmmmmmmm, going to do further digging, might have to get one

It’s treated as two separate gpu so I don’t think it changes anything it’s just less space taken up by it

[marsh pewter]

it is

https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/graphics-cards/asus/rtx5080-o16g-noctua/ It is kinda nice though

Phanteks T30 GPU, when?

[ashen spindle]

Yes vscode is open and that’s why the post is not saying they are making the editor open source because it’s not about that part

[bright briar]

if only noctua made white fans

[sharp badger]

https://noctua.at/en/product-roadmap Seems like they don't have them on the roadmap anymore but maybe there's something at Computex this year?

They had some samples 2019

[astral haven]

The editor itself relies on plugins for most functionality, and the plugins that microsoft maintains aren't open source

[crystal ferry]

What ?

That’s a srs question gng

I wanna order Asia horse cables but

I’m afraid my 5070ti will straight up melt it

[vagrant pagoda]

5070 dosent draw enough

[trim crane]

I don't wanna be that guy but even the 5070 has melted cables

[vagrant pagoda]

there was one and it was a defective card in japan?

unless there has been more

[odd prawn]

You can literally settle for it

9070xt is $899 right now again. 5070 is $749. 5070ti is $999

9070xt red devil selling for $899 for 3 months now

So whoever bought the 9070xt for 749

[ashen spindle]

the msrp is 599 so its still not a good deal lol

[vagrant pagoda]

you can get msrp 5070s in the us

549

[unkempt lake]

and in canada https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/powered-by-nvidia/270368/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-5070-windforce-sff-12g-graphics-card-gv-n5070wf3-12gd.html

[vagrant pagoda]

they really need a canada dollar cymbal if its gonna be that bad

[odd prawn]

Lmao lol no the msi dual fan is literally $649 us right now

[vagrant pagoda]

wally word has pny 5070s for msrp online and instoire

[odd prawn]

$759

[unkempt lake]

Canadian

[odd prawn]

In my currency

[unkempt lake]

799 is msrp

So its technically under msrp

[bright briar]

oh dashi you waste your time trying to explain the conversion rate from cad to usd

[vagrant pagoda]

760 cad is 550 usb

[gusty kiln]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6vkgEjmqmA

[bright briar]

most dont know better

[gusty kiln]

match your noctua gpu with this noctua X antec case

[unkempt lake]

Indeed but i'm basing it off the still official msrp

As it hasn't been officially ajusted

[vagrant pagoda]

'still good though

[unkempt lake]

Yep

Meanwhile the cheapest 9070xt i can find is 999cad

Msrp was like 840? Iirc

[gusty kiln]

715 usd, which sounds like the real msrp

[ashen spindle]

if you talk about prices in another country and just convert it to dollar without making that clear its a bit confusing xD

[odd prawn]

Okay yeah so the $749 USD 9070xt red devil was a good deal

989 USD to 749

But Got sold out fast

Lmao

Still lucky even though + $149 msrp

[crystal ferry]

well its a ti

i wanna ask someone pairing that cables with a 50 series but like noone got this combo

[dull hollow]

mirocenter got a restock a day or 2 ago here

suprisingly still some in stock

cheapest one in stock is an asrock

@$700 usd

they dont even list mine in-stock or out of stock

[gusty kiln]

three cheapest ay my local microcenter

[thick elk]

Hmm, used to US prices being better than EU prices on these, but I guess tariffs and weaker dollar.

[dull hollow]

xfx prices were like this since launch

im not sure about ASrock

[ashen spindle]

mix of the msrp being changed last minute, tarrifs and differnet demand/supply in different regions

[thick elk]

Probably yea, just in my mind microcenter had decent prices still.

[dull hollow]

there were a few at msrp of $600 when i went n bought my 9070xt but havent seen prices like that since

[dull hollow]

for bundles and everything else, its priced pretty good

[thick elk]

Cheapest in the Netherlands seems to be € 739 for the ASUS Prime model.

[ashen spindle]

#🐸│memes

[dull hollow]

only thing that exceeds expected price at microcenter are cpus and gpus which is pretty much in line with every where else

[thick elk]

BTW looking at the listings, clicking on it found this picture: https://tweakers.net/i/BVc2qHh98I4EDlBwOqmXOq1w2zs=/i/2007309158.jpeg

Got to love showing off using the cheapest grade of steel

Not that there is anything wrong with using that, but still.

[unkempt lake]

Microcenter is irrelevant as it's so limited in terms of locations even in the us and you can't buy anything online as most of their inventory is in store only

[dull hollow]

yeah

[unkempt lake]

Only reason why they have stock is because of that system lol

[sudden imp]

More cases seem to be introducing this “air guide” at the bottom of the case near the psu shroud. For example meshify 3z

I think havn is doing something like that too

[steady sail]

https://youtube.com/shorts/rKL7c39d4tI?si=jKA2aq_7pOiUKYE5 “super TN” with 610hz

[analog sinew]

makes sense. people have been 3d printing em, so only a while till manufaturers get the memo

and there really is no point blowing air into the psu shroud when the psu has its own contained intake

ig unless you have a 50 series and wanna cool your 12vhpwer

[sharp badger]

I like how they integrated the leds into the case of the Meshify 3

[sudden imp]

More and more cases seem to be getting better for airflow

[analog sinew]

yeah

i hope we get gpus with 120mil fans some day

not these dinky triple 55s or what they rae

[dull hollow]

some fat ahh gpus

[sharp badger]

Aren't they getting there?

4080 Noctua was 120mm

[analog sinew]

they are already fat asf

they just fill it with 3 dinky fans and edgy gamer plastic

you can buy adapter brackets for basically every gpu to get normal 120 mil mounting holes

and then you dont have fans that can rev to 4k rpm yay

and they are easily swappable yay

they could even ahve rgb get that in ya

[dull hollow]

[sharp badger]

The 5090 FE has like 150mm fans so AIBs should be able to make 120mm fit

[analog sinew]

yes

[sharp badger]

But maybe they just want to keep marketing the military ultra max rgb pro fans

[analog sinew]

also yes

ULTRA FROZR PREMIUM TRIPLE CONTRAROTATING FAN DESIGN

[dull hollow]

i wonder what size the fans on my 9070xt are

doesnt list it anywhere and im not home

[sharp badger]

What brand?

[dull hollow]

card itself is 339mm total length

[dull hollow]

gigabyte aorus elite

probably 100 or sub 100mm per fan

[sharp badger]

Yeah

[dull hollow]

rarely spins up to 1500 anyways

i personally havent seen it over 65c with 10% power limit

[sharp badger]

The Gigabye 5070 Ti has hawk fans and they are 105mm https://www.gpufanreplacement.com/products/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-gaming-gpu-fan-replacement?_pos=1&_fid=9a3023ff0&_ss=c

So i'd guess that the 9070 xt would use a similar size?

[dull hollow]

id assume so

[short zenith]

Can someone make me a build with a $1500 budget

[sudden imp]

You’ll need atleast a 5090 for

[bright briar]

https://tenor.com/view/fortnite-gif-15083008533786162490

[crystal ferry]

what do you think of paring a 5070ti with a asiahorse cable

[unkempt lake]

just use the included adapter

and stop worrying

[ashen spindle]

I dont use anything cosmetic lol

[sudden imp]

Did AMD reveal anything at computex?

[ashen spindle]

keynote is in 2 days

[sudden imp]

sweet

Do they tease upcoming technology or do they just annouce it all when its time

[ashen spindle]

we probably get 9060 info/release and infos about datacenter things like mi355

[steady sail]

I hope that amd doesnt fuck up the 9060 xt

Give that shit atleast 12gb vram

[unkempt lake]

its 8 and 16

i think 8 should be only for the non xt model personally

[fickle ore]

B770 :3

[steady sail]

Maan

[short zenith]

Is there any good prebuilts for around 1500

[gentle osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RPpWC8

There's a quick build, $100 over your budget, I'm sure someone here can tweak it or you can

There's also 5070ti for $70 more

[dull hollow]

do you really need cl28 ram?

[gentle osprey]

no

[dull hollow]

a bit expensive for ram

[gentle osprey]

There's cl30 for like $80-90

[dull hollow]

xfx is stupidly overpriced

[gentle osprey]

They're all overpriced lol

That's $4 more than the cheapest one I found

[dull hollow]

waow

[gentle osprey]

yeah it was an ASRock model for $848 or the XFX for $852

rest are more expensive or out of stock

[dull hollow]

most cards listed online have increased but xfx launched with that price

[unkempt lake]

just buy a 5070

literally better value atm

because you can actually get em for msrp

amd needs to get their shit together

[dull hollow]

and in stock

[unkempt lake]

they have an easy victory but they're too dumb to grasp it

cant keep their shit at msrp

[short zenith]

waht can i drop

to make it around 1500

[dull hollow]

what dashi just said, you can go 5070 or wait for amd to reveal a 9060xt in the upcoming days

[gentle osprey]

^

I was just tryna get you 16gb vram

[unkempt lake]

i understand why but also with the price difference its kinda painful and at 1440p 12gb should still be perfectly fine

[gentle osprey]

Yeah, market is rough

[unkempt lake]

yep

rn its basically b580 or 5070

b580 i saw plenty for msrp here in canada

but i know thats not really an option in the us

for 359cad the b580 i think is poggies

and they're in stock

[dull hollow]

b580 is 250usd msrp, im seeing 350-450

[unkempt lake]

i can grab a reference one in stock rn for 257usd or an aib for 285cad

[dull hollow]

or out of stock for those that are remotely closer to msrp

[unkempt lake]

intel killer value in canada

canada computers has them but in store only

memory express is out of reference designs but i know someone who bought one like 3 days ago lol

so it must be a recent out of stock and they have aib models for very reasonable prices

newegg has the reference for a little over msrp

like its genuinelyh easy to grab an intel card for a good price here

[steady sail]

Tbh im still happy with my non-xt 9070

[dull hollow]

im happy with a slightly overpriced xt from launch compared to prices now

[unkempt lake]

im happy with my 7900xtx i got for 22% off 6 months after launch due to a pricing error

literally got changed an hour after i bought it xd

but they sent it out

[dull hollow]

i dont see parts getting cheaper anytime soon for us in the US

we picks the worst time to upgrade

i got my pc right as covid started and upgrade just before tariffs

cousin wants to build new pc after tariffs begun

[untold sierra]

i present to yall the wooting one a wooting keyboard that has been around since 2016

[unkempt lake]

meanwhile i avoided the crypto boom by buying a 980 in 2014, bought a 2080 right after the cryptoboom ended in 2018 which means i avoided covid and the second crypto boom and after that ended i grabbed an xtx when no one wanted it in summer 2023

[dull hollow]

never more interested in amd till nshidias 50 series reveal

[unkempt lake]

@dull hollow be like me and time your upgrades better :P

avoid all the problems

[dull hollow]

i was going to upgrade this gen anyways, 2070s can barely keep up at the settings i want to play at and i skipped 40 series

[short zenith]

alr

[lyric hatch]

Ah so you upgraded in a bad gen last time too

[dull hollow]

more like it was my first gaming pc

i was using some junk office pc before that

[unkempt lake]

i'd say 20 series was a good time to upgrade

was after the crypto boom

there was stock and the 20 series's features ended up keeping the card relevant

[lyric hatch]

2000 series was the beginning of the end for good pricing on gpus

Also a very mid upgrade outside of the 2080 ti

[dull hollow]

cousin is still on a 1080

that’s why he’s upgrading

[unkempt lake]

i do regret not paying the extra 500cad for the ti

[lyric hatch]

1080 Ti was a goat tier card we ain't seen nothing like it since

[unkempt lake]

i remember hesitating between a 1080 ti and a 2080

[dull hollow]

don’t think his is a ti

[unkempt lake]

but then i went 2080

and honestly

i dont regret it

nico still uses it and can play indiana jones and doom on it

wouldnt have been able to if i had went 1080ti

[lyric hatch]

$699 flagship

Look at that gen on gen upgrade

[dull hollow]

his 1080 has always rivaled my 2070 super :v

[unkempt lake]

no

1080 ti was similar to a 2070 super

but not the regular 1080

also over time we did see a gap form between pascal and turing

like the 1080 ti and the 2080 were = perf but as more games released the gap moved in favor of the 2080

[dull hollow]

yeah it started getting noticeably worse in the last 1-2 years

tho that just might be the game

[dull hollow]

i probably should clarify we only really play like 1 game together

[unkempt lake]

pascal hasnt been getting as much love optimisation wise

but yeah i dont regret getting a 2080 over the 1080 ti

but i regret not splurging for a 2080 ti with how the market went

[dull hollow]

hes gonna buy me gta6 for building his pc (yes i know its not out)

[somber coral]

Why does it say that I got amd audio drivers

[dull hollow]

didnt you take your brothers 9070xt before

[somber coral]

I used ddu

[unkempt lake]

you have an amd motherboard?

7700 no?

[somber coral]

7800x3d

[unkempt lake]

Exactly

Normal for you to have audio drivers lol

[somber coral]

huh i thought it would say nvidia

[magic minnow]

I work at a news station and we have a construction company working here and they over pressurized the water so it started to pour water into the main server room. Apparently the 4 servers it was pouring water into cost 2 million dollars

[somber coral]

do i hear a lawsuit

[unkempt lake]

thats why insurance is a thing

[magic minnow]

I don’t think so, so far. One of the engineers caught the water thankfully

[somber coral]

if they caused damages then lawsuit no? or insurance claim

[unkempt lake]

Insurance

[somber coral]

didnt even know you could have insurance for servers

[unkempt lake]

i mean

it's just general property insurance

[somber coral]

no idrea that was a thing either

[magic minnow]

But what about the on air time cause apparently without those servers there wouldn’t be anything able to broadcast from here

[unkempt lake]

But it covers goods inside the property

[unkempt lake]

Like if your house catches on fire

[somber coral]

so if my pc go boom

[unkempt lake]

Your pc would be part of the check that your parents get

[somber coral]

:D

[unkempt lake]

That wouldnt be covered

[somber coral]

lawsuit/

[reef patrol]

Yikes.

... xD

Lian Li's gone from cooking to getting cooked 😄

[umbral heron]

Is cable

[reef patrol]

The PSU is physically sticking out of the case, so they made a weird side panel to adapt. Instead of... extending the case by like... 5mm

[analog sinew]

what the hell is that

[reef patrol]

They put the fans... IN the glass.

[analog sinew]

yes my pc looks like a sub and no it cant be cleaned

[umbral heron]

Oh
Pretty sure they could shorten it by 5mm

[reef patrol]

widen

[umbral heron]

Oh, it's their case

[wheat plume]

The classic "Extend, Embrace, Extinguish" is starting again

[umbral heron]

Everytime I see "Microsoft ❤️ Linux" I spontaneously burst into laughter

[wheat plume]

Same

Most azure instances are Linux too xd

[umbral heron]

Imagine whole world running on Windows Server

[old marlin]

if semi trucks are so good why aren't car company execs driving semi trucks privately

[umbral heron]

While Rascal Flatts - Life is a Highway in the radio

[ashen spindle]

So do you just want them to not open source it?

[umbral heron]

No... I don't trust corporations, and especially Microsoft, every time they done something "good" there's always something behind it
It kinda stinks the whole Java and ActiveX kerfuffle all over again
Embrace Linux on WSL, make things that work only on WSL (Mesa Dozen for example for DX12 only for Linux on WSL), start making soft which works only with their extensions, and boom - Desktop Linux is no longer

[ashen spindle]

Don’t have to trust them to take what’s good though?

[umbral heron]

Their solutions will get more popular because they have all the power over compatibility with Windows software, which is most popular right now after all
Contributors will switch to their software because it's more popular, and only handful of devs will support independent software
Then Microsoft changes their game, and we are left with nothing
No, thank you

[nimble arch]

Desktop Linux is no longer
It ever was?

We've got Valve at least

Which are doing great work with SteamOS.

[umbral heron]

Maybe it's paranoia, I dunno
But Microsoft are the pieces of shit in IT industry

[umbral heron]

7% of PC share
It goes great as for now

StatCounter is shit, because it only cares about websites that use them, so FB, Twitter, etc.
Meanwhile for example Cloudflare has more accurate statistics

[lyric hatch]

Still not doing that hot on Steam

[nimble arch]

Some of us just want to play games

Although I imagine those stats might be a little different if you remove people playing Football Manager and nothing else

[lyric hatch]

Not sure it'd make too much difference to the 132 million monthly users on Steam

[balmy vector]

👀

[umbral heron]

That's gonna be expensive

[ashen spindle]

Yeah but you can’t hate on every change that’s positive just because it could be with a negative plan behind it, or we’d never get any improvements

[lyric hatch]

yeah but to keep your gamer hands sweat free

[crimson wigeon]

Nice

But how much does it weigh?

[rough osprey]

2kg

aio could be interesting tho

finally one you dont need to replace the fans on

[lyric hatch]

Probably around 100 grams if I had to guess not sure how much the fan weighs

[rough osprey]

the normal mouse is 46

lil fan around 30

probably needs a bigger battery tho or

[analog sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-chosen-one-you-were-the-chosen-one-gif-7521423

@unkempt lake

[halcyon moss]

I work in linux and im to lazy to reboot lol
so all my gaming these days is in linux.

[lyric hatch]

it's gotten a lot better to the point where the vast majority of games work flawlessly

[nimble arch]

I work on macOS but the gaming support is certainly a thing.

There's been some really good ports recently, the ones Apple pay for, but the rest is just... yeah.

[halcyon moss]

prbably because of proton, support in linux is better

[lyric hatch]

oh yeah mac is shocking now can't play nothing

[nimble arch]

I'm interested in seeing how Cyberpunk 2077 ends up running on macOS.

[halcyon moss]

native? probably quite well

[nimble arch]

The macOS version will have full path tracing support just like the PC version.

[umbral heron]

Time to steal 4060 from my cousin and run PT on that

Can Radeon do path-tracing?

[halcyon moss]

yes, but no

[umbral heron]

Nah, I just want to see how many FPS it'll chug out

[lyric hatch]

doesn't support shader execution reordering which is apparently what makes it work at all on ada

[umbral heron]

Ah bummer
So I need to get some 40/50 series then
I wonder how Linux would behave with PT

[lyric hatch]

idk it's hard to find any information about RT support on RDNA 4 tbh

[umbral heron]

Supposedly it's better than on RDNA3
But I still got stable 60 on XTX with RT on 1440p

[old marlin]

You mean an EC1-CW

Or better yet a deathadder v3

[umbral heron]

But with Noctua colors

[magic minnow]

They should make it out of Mercury so you can get the sensation of money slipping through your fingers literally

[coral girder]

Should i get a glossy qd oled or matte woled monitor if im gaming in a bright environment

Like ik matte woled is better for this but how much better and should i consider glossy?

[dull hollow]

matte woled would be ideal for less reflections and glare, matte coating would help maintain darker inky blacks

[gusty kiln]

Glossy would be fine if the light source isn't directly behind you

[sudden imp]

is computex over now?

[ashen spindle]

Only just started

[sudden imp]

huh??

I thought it was like a three day event

[ashen spindle]

Yeah and it started today

Keynotes are not part of the show floor event

[sudden imp]

ahh

[gusty kiln]

Amd keynote 10 hours from now

[unkempt lake]

Ready for disappointment

[umbral heron]

What they will present even

[unkempt lake]

9060xt

Which i bet will be overpriced

[umbral heron]

https://tenor.com/view/boo-gif-19787475173016375

I want 9080XT

[minor citrus]

I'd love something worthy to ditch my 6900XT for, but I don't feel that's going to happen soon

[umbral heron]

[dull hollow]

hitscannnn hyperlighttttt

@bright briar 40g, friendlier viper mini shape, only has holes on the bottom, solid shell

cant feel flex in the mouse

[bright briar]

yeah buts its super expensive

[dull hollow]

its 90$

us anyways

[bright briar]

sorry i thought you were talking about this

i misread mb

yeah hitscan only 90 usd

[dull hollow]

oh

yeah viper mini expensive

[bright briar]

iirc correctly its like $300+

[dull hollow]

but thats the signature edition, normal is quite a bit cheaper

[magic minnow]

Viper V3 Pro

[bright briar]

i tested that when it first came out and i hated the shape

[magic minnow]

[bright briar]

also forced me to use beta razer software and then the software stopped working all together

so i said f*cka razer

how dare they take away the viper ultimate from me with its nice charging dock

https://tenor.com/view/i-hate-you-anakin-star-wars-gif-10358450

[magic minnow]

I find the synapse weird since you gotta go out of your way to update the mouse firmware regardless

[bright briar]

i tried dav3 pro as well and the shape was to big

faker edition

[magic minnow]

Get the Viper V3 Pro mini shell

[bright briar]

that got mini?

[gusty kiln]

Maybe the deathadder v3 hyperspeed

It's smaller

[magic minnow]

It’s custom made

Perfect example of a guy who has no clue then lmfao

[unkempt lake]

I mean he also thinks he found what causes asrock to kill 9800x3ds lol

Which yes he found some wacky shit with asrock bioses but you can't really claim that to be the cause without testing

[gusty kiln]

is a good idea of it weren't for the fact that everything is the same architecture now

Would cost too much money to diverge the design again

[ashen spindle]

Yeah it would be a good idea if reality was different

[gusty kiln]

AMD is about to do the same thing so the same pain will start there too unfortunately

AI/DC over gamers

Unless they do the thing were ai/dc is a node/design ahead of consumer stuff

[thick elk]

Respect Hardware unboxed for still getting a review out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e1a2-VxxvQ

[ashen spindle]

And doesn’t really have issue in the same way and consoles will mean they are going to get a massive order again in the next gen

[unkempt lake]

Public drivers are out everyone can make a review xD

[thick elk]

it's one thing to make a review, it's another to do it in such a short time with a good number of games, in a hotelroom.

[ashen spindle]

Nobody who makes reviews and is at computex can do good review that’s the main complaint about the 5060 launch

[thick elk]

That and the fact that and all the other stuff nvidia did

still they did give it quite a good shot considering the circumstances.

Got to save something for future generations

[sudden imp]

How critical is it? and do they mention anything of the "pre-briefing" that esseintially was a threat or was that only GN?

[gusty kiln]

Lol most tech channel posting a video criticizing nvidia PR tactics while LTT is unboxing a gold plated 5090

Classic

[ashen spindle]

that was just gn, they only got the treatment of not getting any drivers so had to do it at computex in a hotel room

[zenith silo]

They bought that thing 😭 😭 😭

[gusty kiln]

Several channels have made video talking about dealing with nvidia in general not just the treatment with GN

https://youtu.be/8RHQJenbuIc?si=Lyi1DgvFQP9dj-hM

https://youtu.be/Nvbu3ckzNvQ?si=ViGavghLZpf4AiAU

https://youtu.be/Vnq_JDCagCM?si=AtC9686YMREnyvyM

Tech tuber sentiment with nvidia is at an all time low

[ashen spindle]

yeah but my nvidia stocks are in the green so I cant blame them too much

[gusty kiln]

I mean same but I was just memeing how yet again LTT is coming off as tone deaf with the relation to the rest of the tech community

[zenith silo]

[ashen spindle]

yeah I can totally understand if they dont want to make a dedicated piece to it, or with the GN feud not speak about it etc. but just showcasing the pointless gold 5090? man schedule that for another day

[gusty kiln]

It's more about ltt than nvidia in my post

Kek yeah

[zenith silo]

The gold 5090 thst only has around 700-800$ in gold on it btw

That sells for like 10k😭

[crimson wigeon]

Maybe it gets you drivers that work

[gusty kiln]

[zenith silo]

Absolutely insane markup

[gusty kiln]

Btw what's your cost basis?

I think I got in around 105

Or did you buy during the tariffs temper tantrum

[ashen spindle]

dont know atm, did not diamon hand it when it rose so I only reentered sometime last year and a bit during the deepseek dip

nah was thinking but didnt want to put more in it

[gusty kiln]

Ah

[ashen spindle]

put the free cash into two defense ETFs instead lol

dont know enough about the field but worlds fucked so that likely is going up lmfao

[gusty kiln]

Yeah I'm almost 2x on my defense etf

Looking into energy etf next

All these AI mega centers need all that juice and infrastructure

[ashen spindle]

yeah but I dont think we get that many because its kinda dying down

[zenith silo]

How would one first get into stocks?

Thinking about potentially putting some money in one of these times

[ashen spindle]

could check with your bank, try some of the trading apps that let you play with a fake account first

[gusty kiln]

Just don't do options and shit off the back

[ashen spindle]

only rule you should follow is dont make wild decisions, think about long term, only invest what you can, and average increases are great, dont need to hit a 500% gain to be worth it

[gusty kiln]

Hold stocks in companies you actually believe in, and maybe day trade the meme/hype stocks lol

But never use more than you are willing to lose in the latter case

I'll probably not bother with meme stocks, gambling never ever works out for me

I ain't lucky like that

[ashen spindle]

some sort of ETF that is managed and beats inflation is the best you should aim for imo

but yeah can ask your bank probably, just be aware if they have deals they might suggest some that give boni to them

[gusty kiln]

Your 401k is literally just stocks

[gusty kiln]

So if you have that you are already doing it

[ashen spindle]

oh yeah in the US 401k is a thing

[unkempt lake]

mine is pokemon cards

[zenith silo]

I have only ever worked on the books once so don't got that

[gusty kiln]

Lmao

[unkempt lake]

🧠

THEYLL GO UP I SWEAR IN 100 YEARS ILL BE RICH

REDDIT SAID IT

[ashen spindle]

also there are some inflation adjsuted bonds or something iirc for US citizens? think @astral haven mentioned that a while ago that could be some boringly safe invest option

[zenith silo]

I'm Canadian 😭

[ashen spindle]

oh

[unkempt lake]

buy pokemon cards

r/pokeinvesting

told me i'd be rich

they must be right

[zenith silo]

If i buy them the whole market would end up crashing for thst

[unkempt lake]

reddit would never lie to me

[unkempt lake]

please make it crash

i want to play my stupid tabletop game again without going broke

[zenith silo]

When it comes to gambling I'm the least lucky person in existence, that's why I won't ever go to a casino

Don't need to bankrupt myself when I know I won't win

[zenith silo]

[unkempt lake]

like its depressing

what people have done to the hobby

[zenith silo]

I lay partial blame on Logan Paul

Even though it's not really his fault

[unkempt lake]

sometime i think i should just 100% give up, sell my shit while its worth money

but then im like

i just want to play my damn game

[zenith silo]

Its always that what if

Of what you have just exploding in price astronomically

[unkempt lake]

it already did tbh

i did trade a few things

things im not very attached to

like i genuinely have some cards that went up like

example

preorder bonus from a while ago

a fucking stamped squirtle

[zenith silo]

Wish I kept all my old cards, some of them are worth a few hundred now

[unkempt lake]

worth like 50cad is now worth like 350cad

i have a lot of cards that just kinda exploded randomly

[unkempt lake]

if you have no attachement to em

nows the time

[zenith silo]

Gave them away like 10 years ago lol

[unkempt lake]

[zenith silo]

Yeah i wasn't old enough to think hey some of these really old cards might be worth something

I miss my ancient mew card

Was cool looking

Probably not worth anything

[marsh pewter]

that doesnt look good

[analog sinew]

can i at least get sandals?

oh

[marsh pewter]

nope, its empty. im on an ubuntu install rn, cant even boot into endeavouros. using chroot and running ls shows 0 files.

ye

[gentle osprey]

Yikes

If 50 series wasn't already shit enough

[thick elk]

The cards themselves nothing unexpected really, similar smaller upgrade and 8gb becomes more of a problem every year.

[unkempt lake]

8gb isn't like unusable and if you have an older gpu fine you're probably already used to lowering settings

But on a brand new product.... 🤮

by the time next gen consoles come around its gonna be rough

[marsh pewter]

arch-chroot then pacman -S grub fixed it

[thick elk]

Ah so the bootloader itself was in tact just the grub package broke

[dull hollow]

why did arcane do this its so distracting on oled

im not sure if discord compression shows it but i hate how theres so much Digital noise on the black bars

i just wanted to watch Arcane for the first time

theres a windows app for netflix?

sounds about right

amazing

[marsh pewter]

I did, I just reinstalled grub

only way to get 1080p without extensions tho

[dull hollow]

oh waow

it is immedately a lot better

not as much noise but still some

[thick elk]

Legally not how it works, moraly probably fine for most.

[woeful valve]

fffgdfffggfg

[marsh pewter]

it’s not illegal if you don’t download it

at least in the US

generally streaming pirated content isn’t illegal, just hosting it is

[dull hollow]

steam is having a peepeepoopoo rn

[astral haven]

Series I bonds for future reference
with I meaning inflation

Requires a SSN to buy

[thick elk]

From what I understand assuming the US, it's a grey area, no judge has ruled upon. could fall either way. Of course there are 0 consequences either way.

[astral haven]

It does probably break the ts and cs of your ISP, so they are probably legally allowed to sue you and or drop you as a customer

And if you do it wilfully enough, there are some wonky combinations of ancient laws that turn t&C breaking into a felony

[lone dune]

Finally came

[dull hollow]

bro might just be rich

[lone dune]

Next pc is gonna be gold theme

Gold tubes , connectors and stuff so had to get the gpu

[sudden imp]

I wouldn’t be surprised if AMD tried to abandon the connector till it get situated

[unkempt lake]

Found the saudi prince

[lone dune]

Nah . Just grew up very fortune

My family is actually in the government of my country. Cousin was the Prime minister

[unkempt lake]

The card isn't sold outside of the middle east/north africa

[lone dune]

My dad and mom both anesthesiologist

Well aware i buy alot of my stuff from over seas and import

Same with the majority of my animals

[mild dome]

I believe AMD's current stance is: let the AIB manufactures decide on their own if they want the old or new standard
It's only Nvidia that REQUIRES partners use the 12VHP, and expressly forbids 8 pin

So if we checkout what the AIBs are using for the newest AMD GPUs we can see what tech they prefer

[gusty kiln]

30 minutes until AMD keynote

[lone dune]

Well they gave me the house . They have other houses But also gave me money to start my own bussiness lol

I dont game all day lol

Or spend all day with my animals
