[lone dune]

Not bad for the amount of stuff on desk

Just maybe need a net

[gentle osprey]

Yeah I have a tray under there

[lone dune]

Why does no one use tray extenders

[covert ravine]

Ah

[covert ravine]

They're so gross

I go out of my way not to have one

[gentle osprey]

They all shoved in there

[covert ravine]

I'm trying to make my setup a server room gone wrong

[lone dune]

Thinking about putting a tray extender for my keyboard and mouse on my fully jarvis desk but dont want to ruin it with holes

[gentle osprey]

Yeah I used heavy duty Velcro strips to mount that

Worked out great

[lone dune]

The only thing i really need to try now is a nice big ole NAS

[steady sail]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CY4WPYB4 or this

[steady sail]

U can search up the TV and find it

[devout raptor]

not a single place sells them

[digital cliff]

buy something used if you don't need it to be super amazing and newest

TVs go secondhand mega cheap

[devout raptor]

i want something thats atleast mid range

used oled would be nice

[digital cliff]

yis, check local marketplaces

[devout raptor]

this might be a good deal actually

[steady sail]

Why do i want an ipad mini

[devout raptor]

because buying tech is fun

[umbral heron]

New iPad is only good if you're interested in drawing

[umbral heron]

Draw, game, other stuffs?

[steady sail]

Reading manga and watching anime/ youtube lol

And a somewhat bigger battery

[umbral heron]

For manga I'd recommend e-reader, it's amazing and lasts for months
For tablets - my brother has Xiaomi Pad 6, I think 7 released recently, great tablet, really nice colors, you can draw on it too

[steady sail]

I dont really need a tablet at all

No, i need Switchy Plushie

[umbral heron]

You just said you want an iPad Mini

[steady sail]

For me thats just a bigger phone

[umbral heron]

Get a bigger phone

[lunar elm]

Ok. Ill tell you why I want to destroy arasaka but Ill only tell you once, wanna hear it? I saw corps strip farmers of water ... and eventually of land. Saw them transform Night City into a machine fueled by people's crushed spirits, broken dreams and emptied pockets. Corps've long controlled our lives, taken lots... and now they're after our souls! V, I've declared war not because capitalism's a thorn in my side or outta nostalgia for an America gone by. This war's a people's war against a system that's spiralled outta our control. It's a war against the fuckin' forces of entropy, understand? Do whatever it takes to stop 'em, defeat 'em, gut 'em. If I gotta kill, I'll kill. If I need your body, I'll fuckin' take it! Fuckin' hell ... You still don't see it. But you will one day.

[tough sonnet]

Yeah the pixels have quite good cams. I got myself the xiaomi 14 ultra. And you really notice that the Sensors get bigger

[ashen spindle]

Wym doomer attitude, if the us fucks around and messes up intels plans there’s just not winning

These people have no clue how long it takes to make a node or anything

[fickle ore]

Can always get another CEO, that might turn into good or bad only future will tell

Its not like LBT is the only good one on earth

Apparently lots of competition soon from NIL, Canon, Rapidus etc: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/1mj310h/china_ships_first_nil_lithography_tool_as_300plus/
Probably makes everytinh a lot cheaper

Well it says it can scale down to 1nm

[ashen spindle]

no its real but it doesnt talk about cost, volume, performance etc.

rapidus is just licensing ibm tech for their node

[fickle ore]

Ye but nanoimprint is vastly less complex than EUV so price is going down and volume high, performance idk

thats fine, just up volume by 10x

[ashen spindle]

nanoimprint isnt even proven to really work at the scale thats needed

the canon thing is at best 5-7 years out for production, being optimistic

the way they do the inner corners always looked kinda bad to me

It's interesting lol I wish OnePlus would have made the Open 2, I've seen rumors saying they're making it this year, but they said so themselves they weren't

[lunar elm]

“it looks like a phone”

[sharp badger]

The fold is quite comfy in hand though and didn't really think of the corners when i held it

Should go looking for the Fold 7 and see how that feels in hand

takes 10 seconds

dosent matter what other people say, goto the source

the literally word "non-commercial"

thats because there is a public commerical liecnes

you have to get one

[fair gull]

isnt HEVC licensed but not HEIF since its just the container

well afaik HEIF is just a container format but uses HEVC for compression and HEVC requires patent licenses

so HEIF is practially licensed

if avif just implements the HEIF then there shouldnt be an issue with commercial use if it doesnt actually compress with HEVC

i personally wouldnt know what youd license then

container isnt license required and av1 isnt either afaik

HEIC is not HEIF

HEIC is HEIF with HEVC

(at least thats how i understand the difference)

so HEIC is images that are in a HEIF container compressed by HEVC

and AVIF woudl then be images in a HEIF container compressed by AV1

[wheat plume]

AAAAAAAAAA THE REVIEWS ARE OUT 😍 https://youtu.be/uv7_1r1qgNw

[fair gull]

yes HEIF should be free to use by anyone

its just HEVC which makes HEIC commerically license required

(im also glad all these abreviations are so similar totally not confusing)

[leaden kiln]

yeah just looks ugly
I don't mind holding round corners
the more square corners on the left side of my fold 5 are still decently comfortable to hold but I'm right handed anyway

[leaden kiln]

I just think thet designed it kinda ugly

I'm not buying a pixel fold so I'm fine with it being ugly
I already have a case on my fold 5, doesn't cover the hinge though

[fair gull]

ngl i hate a lot about the case i got for my flip6

but the hinge flap is genius

[leaden kiln]

I just got four of samsungs official cases cus they were on sale for $3 each
but cases for folds suck ass

glad I got four so I can replace the front half after the adhesive dies after a month and a half

[fair gull]

https://dbrand.com/shop/grip/galaxy-z-fold-5-cases

expensive af

but they are sturdy despite being ugly as shit

also hinge cover

[leaden kiln]

Samsungs official cases for the folds are $100 usually

first party accessories!

that's why I got four of them when the had a 97% sale at a local store here

[unkempt lake]

https://www.theverge.com/games/743535/digital-foundry-game-console-analysis-going-independent

[leaden kiln]

the case I'm using right now has kickstand on the back and the hinge is so loud and creaky
truly would be $100 well spent for anyone paying full price

yeah

I'll see if I can find some at work tomorrow

[magic minnow]

I got a Spigen Slim Armor and a Nillkin for mine

[leaden kiln]

I only rarely use the kickstand
I would use my thinner case but it's made of eco "leather" and I'm worried it would disintegrate and stain immediately

I think it's made of corn so it probably wouldn't get a nice patina like non eco leather

I don't think so

[pale sigil]

Spigen best

[gusty kiln]

I got the grip case for my s24 ultra. Feels like sandpaper but it's great

I got a spigen case for my galaxy buds FE

[tribal dirge]

yeah, M4 max level of performance

except it draws more power than M4 max

other than that it's basically M4 max equivalent

althouhg I find it very interesting that they went with a laptop cpu rather than a proper desktop cpu

since the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is meant to be put in laptops

[gusty kiln]

The gpu on it probably

[tribal dirge]

its pretty decent, it's like RTX 4060 mobile levels of performance

the only turn off is the steep price

[wheat plume]

Helldiver's 2 significantly faster on Linux than Windows
ooo hek, that is a game I wanna play for sure

[ashen spindle]

it doesnt really perform better on linux though?

[wheat plume]

apparently it does, up to 20fps more than Windows

https://youtu.be/D7BehyQVVbU

[frozen ingot]

its a welcome increase

the game kinda chugs at times even on highend systems

[ashen spindle]

sounds more like its broken on the drivers for the desktop then

[wheat plume]

8bitdo promotion in the framework Desktop email xd

[frozen ingot]

helldivers 2 is more cpu bound than not

[ashen spindle]

with the realtive wek gpu in the deskop it could be gpu limited

[unkempt lake]

I'm cpu bound wirh my 7800x3d in that game at 5120x1440 lol

[wheat plume]

so many boxes xd

Sadly, idk if the Handle comes with it or not, to make it easier to carry around
Since its not available on their website

[nimble arch]

What even is the appeal of the Framework desktop anyway? It makes sense with laptops given how many of them are just a single board but desktops largely are still repairable in 2025.

[wheat plume]

the handle is adorable xd

[ashen spindle]

oh lol

hey @marsh glade did the market also say it gets an instant rebounce after the apparently obvious dip? xD

Hehe, one game where latest Intel with fast DDR5 actually beats AMD

[ashen spindle]

open beta
cmon man at least wait for release for benchmarks

[fickle ore]

Just scales insanely well from cores + big & fast L1, doesn't seem to care about L3

[fickle ore]

Isnt gonna change much since its frostbite engine but ill not crown it yet 😄

[marsh glade]

Is it not prescriptive?
I said before earnings that it would be likely to move lower but mostly go nowhere (tread water) and even indicated that Iron Condors; an options play that is profitable when the stock doesn't move, would be a smart play

[fickle ore]

What market? Nasdaq? SP500? World? :I

[astral haven]

That is prescriptive

[fickle ore]

Whats ur thoughts on Nebius? They're opening data centre in the US soonish

O wait they already had one in Missouri, now in NJ

[ashen spindle]

oh from a repairability, no point, the swapping out is also kinda pointless, currently its basically just a "can I get strix halo cheaper than another minipc" and thats it

they wanted to go for swappable lpddr but lpcamm(and now socamm) do still have signalling issues for high bandwidth so it ended up soldered again

[young bough]

Im not gonna lie i thought getting a new mouse would make me an insane gamer but this just aight

[gentle osprey]

Yeah idk about this, my buddy has 14900k/5090 and I have 9800X3D/4090 and we both had maxed out graphics settings, he plays on 2560x1440 and I play 3440x1440 and we were literally getting the same fps

Neither of us were using frame gen

[balmy vector]

well i hope that you guys wouldnt for that kind of game lol

[gentle osprey]

Some people do lol

[balmy vector]

heathens

[dull hollow]

time to see what a 9800x3d and a 9070xt does max settings on 1440p

[gentle osprey]

I was getting consistent 130-160+ and so was my buddy

With DLAA and Ultra settings, no frame gen

[dull hollow]

im getting 120-140 consistant with ultra preset and

[gentle osprey]

Very nice, yeah performance seems pretty good

[pale sigil]

im l iterally just looking up plex plugins

[reef patrol]

[balmy vector]

What are you plugging in? Now they gotcha you gooner

[plush stirrup]

If you change the IP to your PC, does it work?

as a test, so to say

I once had that I could not portforward to any VM on my server with my ISP router... but if it wasn't a VM, it worked totally fine

[lone dune]

Well ripper came for the work station build

[lunar elm]

jacktheripper

[lone dune]

VM glory to my hearts content

[cosmic thunder]

[covert ravine]

So on my search to swap to amd gpu, I've been offered a 6600 xt, 6800, and a 7700 xt

All a tad under vs my 4070

6800 xt should match my performance pretty spot on

[lone dune]

@covert ravine whats ur budget?

Or are u just carely only about a lateral swap and no performance boost

[covert ravine]

Lateral

[lone dune]

Oh yea 6800 is good

All through i find it weird

Considering u would be missing Ray tracing and nividia tech

[unkempt lake]

It will be worse in rt loads

[covert ravine]

Considering anytime the 4070 see's ray tracing it shits itself

[lone dune]

Well guys wish me luck tomorrow

[covert ravine]

I'm not hurt

[lone dune]

Gonna go have em yank my teeth out

[covert ravine]

I wish you luck mr Thunder

[lone dune]

True the 4070 isnt much of a ray tracer anyway

I still dont see the point in lateral switching

[lunar elm]

the 4070 is still better than these

you have DLSS4 and FG

[covert ravine]

I refuse to touch dlss

😔

[lunar elm]

none of them are worth doing a 1:1 exchange, 4070 has the better featureset

RTX VSR for 1440p displays, RTX HDR for PC HDR, DLSS 4, FG

whilst all of those amd cards have none of those features and FSR 3 is a grainy mess

https://tenor.com/view/fsr-amd-fsr2-radeon-upscaling-gif-14361789650951144310

[covert ravine]

So what do you think is a fair exchange

[lunar elm]

Whats ur current display resolution and is it OLED

[covert ravine]

1440p oled

[lunar elm]

do u use HDR

[covert ravine]

Nope

[lunar elm]

RTX HDR is literally a must for oled HDR

[covert ravine]

HDR looks like shit imo

[lunar elm]

windows auto HDR is shit

RTX HDR makes it usable

[covert ravine]

Usable isn't good

[lunar elm]

some games have HDR10+ but yea

RTX HDR is a must for windows

[covert ravine]

Again, what's a fair exchange

[lunar elm]

like in performance 1:1 or add in the featureset into the equation

[covert ravine]

Performance

[lunar elm]

respectively it’ll be a 7800XT and 9070

[lunar elm]

as in
just 1:1 performance or do you want to add in featureset as a negotiation tool

if so it’ll be 7800xt and 9070 respectively

[covert ravine]

Uhh

Hm, okay then

[lunar elm]

I know RSR exists but compared to VSR it loses slightly

and it doesnt have an alternative to RTX HDR

LTT did a video on RTX HDR for windows based systems

[latent mural]

anyone here have a 9700x? I was tinkering with my new build and IDK if I want to let the TDP go up to 105 watts.

It draws 142 under my testing; idles at 50c and peaks at around 85c under full load

IDK if the power draw is really worth it, considering it's only supposed to be a 13% uplift compared to stop 65 watts

[nimble arch]

Daddy chill

[gentle osprey]

https://youtu.be/NWIOU15pNpA?si=Et86BJYpcCET0-fR

[ashen spindle]

hey look @fickle ore 😛

I still think open beta means this isnt going to remain final performance but can go either way

[gentle osprey]

Weird how much more RAM and VRAM the Intel CPU uses

Steve said he don't know why either

[ashen spindle]

vram usage doesnt really mean anything if it doesnt spill over

can just be the driver allocating more and could work with less if needed

[gentle osprey]

Yeah

just kinda weird ig

[ashen spindle]

nah vram usage is basically never accurate

so it's easy to look confusing

[gentle osprey]

Yeah that's fair, cause of the allocation

[ashen spindle]

oh seems like maybe the arl results are much worse because steve mightve been in the wrong memory mode

also another thing @fickle ore https://x.com/rwang07/status/1953568136877224223 what about intel getting lots of dojo orders now?:P

Ray Wang (@rwang07)

$TSLA reportedly disbanded Dojo team, shifting compute to $AMD and $NVDA.

Big stuff here. $NVDA Jensen called it (at least in this case).

How's MSI for mobos?

[plush stirrup]

Good enough 😛

[frozen ingot]

they were cheap crap in the 00s but they do look better now

[plush stirrup]

At least iirc their warranty is good, which is what I usually look at (asus, gigabyte etc)

[tribal dirge]

now how does that happen?

[plush stirrup]

I would note that checking their memory QVL is good to do, since my old RAM caused some issues on my X870 Gaming Plus

[tough sonnet]

Read the Text

[tribal dirge]

you know what that makes more sense, but why not just put it in the microwave for 15 seconds to soften it?

or put it in warm water

Anyone who uses TrueNAS that can explain why in TrueNAS it says 300% CPU but in htop it's not even being tickled

Ah apparently 1 thread = 100%

[halcyon moss]

1 hyperthread

[pale sigil]

Seller claims this has 17k hours, what do y'all think

https://ebay.us/m/beI6JX

Well nearly 18k

[reef patrol]

I think you need to stop shopping for preowned harddisks, and buy a new one. Cause even if all that is true, it could get fucked in shipping.

[lunar elm]

https://tenor.com/view/gundam-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans-bonk-gif-18573813

hard drive vs shipping? sounds like a fun idea

[pale sigil]

£230 😅

[pale sigil]

I mean if I bought if Amazon it's still being shipped

And if it's fucked on arrival via second hand I can get my money back easily

[umbral heron]

So - v1 broke as I was removing supports
v2 almost worked, but thread broke off with supports
v3 expanded a bit too much without cooling, and while removing the inner adapter ring it cracked

[vagrant pagoda]

what is it?

[umbral heron]

filter adapter ring, 49mm lens for 77mm lens filter

[vagrant pagoda]

cpu in linux is per core

300% = 3 cores loaded

[umbral heron]

I won't pay 4€ + shipping for something I can spend several hours printing

[pale sigil]

Aye but I'm guessing it's not in the same sense as how windows shows it

[vagrant pagoda]

windows is 100% = all cores

so you cant compare 2 cpus by % in windows

but you kind of can in linux

still dont see 300% either way

also turn off threads smh

[umbral heron]

smt? on a server?

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah

it makes shit faster

[pale sigil]

I turned off threads and it didn't make much of a difference

But I'm also using Plex which afaik takes advantage of them.

With intel

[umbral heron]

But on server you want a lot of small weaker threads, not less more powerful ones

[vagrant pagoda]

thats what smt is for

[vagrant pagoda]

you got gpu encode on?

[pale sigil]

I haven't needed it

[umbral heron]

Yeah, so you enable smt/threading on a server, not turning it off

[pale sigil]

Quick sync works so well

[vagrant pagoda]

fam

do you know what quick sync is

[pale sigil]

I've had 4 streams open transcoding not tickleing my cpu

[pale sigil]

Maybe I'm getting mixed up?

[vagrant pagoda]

quick sync is gpu encode

[pale sigil]

Oh

Kek

Sorry I thought you meant a dedicated GPU XD

I was originally going to buy an arc GPU but didn't need it

[vagrant pagoda]

yeah arc is quicksink too

[pale sigil]

But anyway, I'm running so much on that bad boy and my CPU isn't being tickled it's nice.

When I run modded ATM 9 it does though lol

[pale sigil]

What do we think

It's going to be used for media only

[plush stirrup]

Has warranty, though at that price? if I pay 30eur more that's a brand new one, that is excl shipping costs and possible taxes depending on your location

[pale sigil]

https://robertelectronics.co.uk/products/ironwolf-st8000vn004-256mb-8tb-hard-drive?_pos=1&_sid=aa0f3e567&_ss=r

Apparently this place does a warranty

"Regardless of whether it is covered by Seagate warranty or beyond the warranty period, we still provide a 3-years warranty"

£127

[plush stirrup]

yeah because the link you sent is an "OEM" drive, seagate doesn't cover those iirc, you'll need to go through the store that sold you the OEM anyways

so if this store fails or refuses, you're stuck with it aswell

[pale sigil]

I can use my credit card but also I can just threaten small claims if they don't honour their warranty

[plush stirrup]

if it's anything like my country, if that store goes bankrupt there goes your warranty

[pale sigil]

"Warranty by Robert computer hardware ltd'

Well ye

[plush stirrup]

and credit card is limited to 120days

[pale sigil]

That is true

But like £50-60 less lol

[plush stirrup]

new HDD's come with 5y of warranty mostly, so also 2y warranty less, and you're trusting a 3year old company to honor a 3year warranty 😛

[pale sigil]

Nvm Google says red flag

I can't justify £208 haha

Wait

Does Seagate allow warranty on second hand drives

I could use Amazon Wearhouse

[plush stirrup]

iirc if it's from an authorized distributor or smth

[pale sigil]

I could also go with a slower drive

5640rpm

[plush stirrup]

Why would you need faster?

[pale sigil]

Idk, worried about transcoding but tbf I doubt there will even be more than 2 people at once

Afaik it takes a few streams before rpm is an issue with transcoding

[plush stirrup]

I'd worry about the cpu or gpu 😛

[pale sigil]

Because the cpu and GPU handles it first

out of stock

Till 10th Sept

https://amzn.eu/d/06UxjL7

What's the catch here hmm

Less warranty

[plush stirrup]

is it 150gbp from amazon us?

[pale sigil]

Hmm?

[plush stirrup]

I can't see the link you sent in that case

[pale sigil]

That's my price

£153

https://amzn.eu/d/aYlf3Q3

£174 hmm

[plush stirrup]

3y warranty, though I would say no warranty since seller is amazon US (which I would assume imports/ships from US), not sure if that's amazon itself, seems unlikely.

[pale sigil]

Oh that's what you mean

It doesn't say Amazon US for me

Ah wait NVM

Ye, that's no good then

[plush stirrup]

Don't you have local stores or local tech 2nd hand marketplaces not ebay?

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/seagate-8tb-ironwolf-nas-7200rpm-hdd-256mb-cache-internal-hard-drive-sto-sea-00562.html

About the same price on all platforms but I will always go with Amazon over them

[plush stirrup]

As long as it's sold by amazon itself sure

[pale sigil]

The iron wolf one is aye

6tb is also an option

But it's only £33 for 2tb more

I've had people tell me to just delete content after a while etc but I kinda like the idea of keeping a Plex library yanno?

Deleting after like 6 months vs monthly

Right now Plex is technically only using 1TB but there's also 600gb of torrents seeding that get cleared after two months. (My Plex server is rather fresh)

Maybe I should just get a 4tb hmm

Then again if I've used 1tb in 3 months then it's going to add up the more I use it and the more people that do.... Hmmm

Although I should probably mention I've already had to clear 300gb of media

Sorry for the spam XD

[plush stirrup]

huh?

[plush stirrup]

usenet is superior to download ISO's on, no seeding 😄

[pale sigil]

6tb is £140 and 8tb £170

Idk where I got my other number from

Sometimes even £25 for the extra 2tb

[plush stirrup]

8tb is still nothing, so go with 8tb

[pale sigil]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Apparently iron wolf is 3 year warranty

Ayyup

https://box.co.uk/wd80efpx-western-digital-red-plus-8tb-3-5-5640-hdd?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22567889166

Oh 3 year warranty too

[digital cliff]

tbh all you need is a 2 week warranty because anything you buy will break in that time anyway

[pale sigil]

Shut it you

[plush stirrup]

higher capacity ones get more warranty 😛 guess you have another reason to go bigger!

[pale sigil]

can piss off xd

i feel uncomfortable with 8tb as is

originally i wanted 2x4tb

[plush stirrup]

trust the proces 😄

[pale sigil]

sure if it dies its onlyt media xd but still 4 out of 8tb being gone is better

[pale sigil]

i mean it aint my desktop

I am struggling though hahaha

I also want to move away from these drives as they are nearing 10 years if not more

[plush stirrup]

that drive just links to one of my vm's, it's just in my pc since at the time I didn't have a normal pc as a server and it was just a minipc

So all data goes over wifi, quite funny 😛

[pale sigil]

Tbh this wouldn't be so bad

[plush stirrup]

I mean it works, so I left it as-is 😄

Hello is there anyone that could help me on enabling secure boot on my computer? I am running into problems Ive seen and followed a couple of youtube videos on how to do it but I always get an error or that it cant validate the patitian

[unkempt lake]

What brand is your motherboard

Also before you start i suggest you update your bios

Most motherboards have it on by default

[reef badge]

The only thing that I know I did wrong was that my OS is on my disk 3

[unkempt lake]

You need to start by turning CSM mode off

[reef badge]

Let me google how to do that

[unkempt lake]

Go under the boot menu

In your bios

Its a field called CSM support

It must be disabled or else you will not be able to enable secure boot

Probably why you are not seeing it

[reef badge]

ahh ok reboot to bios menu got it sec

[unkempt lake]

Once you disable it, save and apply and reboot again into the bios and then you should be able to turn on secure boot from the boot menu :)

Same screen where you'll have found the CSM toggle

[reef badge]

I’m looking for another keyboard to get into my bios my 60% isn’t coming in clutch rn or idk how to navigate to it lol

@unkempt lake would this reinstall windows or anything like that?

[unkempt lake]

bo

No

[reef badge]

I finally got into my bios but I’m kinda lost on where to go so bare with me

[unkempt lake]

Go in the boot tab

After you go in advanced mode

[reef badge]

So turn off CSM Support right?

And reboot and go to bios?

[iron wave]

I ordered some 10Gb fiber stuff.

[reef badge]

@unkempt lake after disabling CSM I saved and rebooted and came back to bios and saw this enabled. Am I good to go or is there anything else I need to do?

PS : I really appreciate you

[unkempt lake]

You are good to go!

Have fun playing battlefield

[reef badge]

Thank you sir! Also was thinking of “upgrading” to windows 11 but idk if I should lol

[unkempt lake]

It's pretty stable nowadays

• you'll kinda have to at some point

[reef badge]

Hmmm now my computer is rebooting itself back to bios

Unless save and exit means rebooting itself back to bios lol

[unkempt lake]

Make sure you have the correct boot device set

[reef badge]

In boot menu again?

[unkempt lake]

You can also spam f12 while your pc boots

[reef badge]

Not sure where to go lol

[unkempt lake]

Under boot option priority

[reef badge]

I can only click the black ones not the golden ones

I can also get on a voice channel and share my screen

Is it the security option?

[unkempt lake]

It is windows 10 but normally win 10 supports secure boot

[reef badge]

No idea what that is lol

[unkempt lake]

Under prefered operating mode

Can you set that to EUFI?

@reef badge

[reef badge]

It only shows me easy and advanced

[unkempt lake]

Oh nvm wrong thing

Can you show me what is in the secure boot menu

[unkempt lake]

Looks fine

I'm just confused why you're saying you can't see the boot devices

Reboot your pc and spam f12

[reef badge]

This plus fn right?

I do not lol

This is f12

[unkempt lake]

Could always enable csm agaim, update to windows 11 then do this again

Idk why his windows 10 is borked

[reef badge]

Can’t update to windows 11 without secure boot

[unkempt lake]

Lit doesn't need to be on

It just needs to support it

and he already has windows 10 so he can just do the update

Then you do what i showed you after that's done

[reef badge]

I have a usb handy but would need to download windows 11

I bought this pc from a friend’s brother

Idk if he had a cracked version of windows 10 I doubt it but could be the case

Do I enable CSM or disable secure boot to try to get back in my computer?

Trying now

Nope

[unkempt lake]

Enable csm again

@reef badge
