Hello guys! There is a distinct cracking sound of electric current from my keyboad (wooting 60he v2) when the light brightness over 50%. Is there something wrong with my keyboard? In need of help!!! THANKS!!!

[reef patrol]

You have sensitive ears. You're hearing a bit of coil whine from the LED controller.

Perfectly harmless.

[grand dragon]

So it's normal right?

[reef patrol]

Yes.

Higher LED brightness, more audible.

[grand dragon]

I see. Thank you ❤️

[fair gull]

its very free-ing thought to not rely on big corpos

the actual scary part isnt the server but someone legally trying to get the domain all your emails go to

[reef patrol]

I don't like the idea of emails potentially vanishing if something goes down.

Google reads my mail, but at least if something vanishes, I'm one of a billion people losing data, not a single person who did an oopsie.

I wish our state email inboxes could be used for personal use.

[reef patrol]

That actually kind of happened a few years ago. My uncle, bless his heart stopped paying for our domain, which is our last name. Thinking no one used it. I very quickly had to ask him to turn it back on, cause 90% of my email was bouncing, cause I use Gmail as the storage, and my domain as a forwarder 😄

[fair gull]

i meant more a company wanting the name or someone with more money to fight a legal battle for it in general

[reef patrol]

Ahh. Benefit of using a last name. Basically can't argue for taking it over.

Denmark's pretty hard on that. We have had a few cases of "big brand wants local restaurant to shut down, cause it sounds similar"

Like McDonaldsons or something like that. And every time it goes like "Well it's literally his name. Go kick rocks, big brand" 😄

[fair gull]

in germany and the netherlands this is the same at least for lastnames but im still kinda worried ngl

That it'll still have a license and be activated?

[lyric hatch]

Should be automatically added once windows is connected to the internet

Why do i screw myself over, i should have just bought the 8tb drive right awasy 🙁

now wd is completely oos

[wheat plume]

What you mean WD is oos?????

They shut down????

[ashen spindle]

not what out of stock means..

[nimble arch]

Just use the latest Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft directly and grab any additional drivers you need.

i had a hefty discount too

[wheat plume]

Oh..stock
Thought it was out of service

The official way requires a Lenovo Support account and requesting a support ticket to get the download

Dawn of A1 clones https://www.creativebloq.com/3d/3d-printing/sorry-but-the-anycubic-kobra-x-is-trying-too-hard

With bambulab having such a prominent foothold in the market it was a matter of time until other copypasters followed a similar design profile.

The machines will look industrial but I can already see sacrifices in easy to modify in the frame alone. Most people will probably rejoice at more cohesive appearing package.

[reef patrol]

I read that as AI clones and got really confused how AI would help 3D printing, but curious 😄

[empty wren]

If anyone else gets confused this is an A1

[empty wren]

People have been using it for spaghetti detection pretty much

[reef patrol]

You mean like stopping the printer before it starts going nuts?

[empty wren]

Going nuts when layer stacking has become dismal

Basically adding closed loop to what normally is an open loop system, through a camera-microprocessor-machine vision algorithm

[reef patrol]

Yup. Just what I imagined

[tribal dirge]

A1 is a pretty good machine for its price tbh

esp the A1 Mini

[empty wren]

The mini yes

The a1 is what normally is more

$300* yeah not bad, a little more than what I paid for a ender 3 v2 when that was the hotness

*On sale currently instead of $400

Honestly still probably a better deal than giving a noob an ender 3 v2, I struggled for a month to get it working and had more success with cr touch.

[unkempt lake]

I have a 2080 but its in my living room with a 9700k

Being used for VR

Tbh it was still a really competent gpu to this day, only was worth replacing for vram reasons

For like new aaa stuff

For vr games most vr games are fine with 8gb and for chill tv games its perfect xd

[empty wren]

That makes sense, I played some early and later vr titles on 4gb

[tribal dirge]

yeah the 8gb of video memory is ehhhhhhh

[unkempt lake]

I mean back then the 2080 ti was just way too expensive 1000cad for the 2080 vs 1400cad for 2080ti

I was coming from a 980 4gb

I remember hesitating between a 1080ti on clearance for like 900 or a 2080 for 1000cad

And i was like fuck it ill get the 2080

I wasn't struggling with 4gb how was i supposed to predict the future of 8gb in 2018 lol

[empty wren]

Probably will not be even relevant perhaps in the future if headsets started using foveated streaming.

[unkempt lake]

i mean i have 2 others pcs i my home 7900xtx and 9060xt i just happenend to have the 2080 lying there and was like

guess i'll use it for vr?

[empty wren]

That is fine anyways if you are going in wired but higher quality VR

No man's sky and some mods for games would push that barrier higher

[unkempt lake]

Like i basically had all the parts just gathering dust i just needed to buy a case and an extra cooler

75$ case and 40$ cooler

[unkempt lake]

Can stream from the pc upstairs for a thing like that

[empty wren]

Only reason I said that above is valve is gonna support lighthouses for now and intends to support them if another manufacturer wants to use them

But apparently just like Meta they are certain streaming is the way. Though at the very least they did some work and did document that 6GHz router would make up for a dongle.

https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/comments/1ow7ut5/foveated_streaming_is_not_foveated_rendering/

Couple that with foveated rendering it may lower the vram barrier or make games more usable on less vram in the future that would typically not be.

This is not gonna be the nicest comparison but like dlss makes raytracing somewhat viable. Except the case above hopefully is not used to hide sloppy optimization.

[jaunty ivy]

Same but different

Also how are people gonna know that what they aren't looking at isn't fully rendered if they can't look at it?

[vapid ruin]

i mean, as long as the dev can support it, it might be possible to do both at the same time for more savings on resources.

so in any case, very naisu of valve.

Do hope quest 4 can support it too, even if it ended up costing the same as steam frame.

[jaunty ivy]

Hmmm. Buy 2nd monitor or steam frame?

[vapid ruin]

if you don't have interest in vr before, monitor!

For what they charge and have been providing it hasn’t been a great value plus all their older good movies my Uncle has in his plex

I’m sure once they spend all this money we get a “ai” surcharge

You probably will want to skip the blue though it is a clicky variant 😉

✋ no thank you no folding phone

[reef patrol]

Got to try a flip phone the other day...I am tempted. Next time maybe.

Just something oddly nostalgic about it, reminding me of old phones...and the flip gameboy.

[nimble arch]

A colleague of mine went through a foldable phase and the screens would always break within a year.

He had several Samsung models.

Ain't no way I'm touching those.

[analog sinew]

the nature of the inner screen being plastic and susceptible to even fingernail damage would make me not use it

[lyric hatch]

Yep

Can't imagine what 4 years of wear and tear on one of those would end up looking like

[leaden kiln]

I can because I bought a used fold 3

[leaden kiln]

I love sample sizes of 1

[empty wren]

advance sp

[leaden kiln]

doesn't samsung make all the folding screens anyway

I think my fold 5 lasted more than a year easy, but I take care of my things, could've maybe used a screen protector replacement but it still works perfectly fine even though I don't use it anymore

[empty wren]

Rollable master race

[lyric hatch]

That's just one of the downsides you also pay way more, sacrifice battery life and cameras

[empty wren]

Cameras , do not they not use similar or same cameras as the slab but now you can actually use higher end camera with a screen?

[leaden kiln]

I think samsung uses sensors a few gens old on theirs

which sucks for the prices

the thinness probably doesn't help though

[empty wren]

Fair point

[empty wren]

Periscope lacking makes sense as Mega said. That 50MP is probably a typical 12MP just binned down.

[lyric hatch]

Yeah and the 3x is a pretty poor sensor overall

Probably the weakest out of all the cameras in the Samsung flagships

[empty wren]

it is interesting they both have 3x

Regardless though, cheaper hardware more expensive screen that is being beta tested would not appeal to many

[lyric hatch]

I'm sure it has a market, just not for me

[empty wren]

I only seen one at the university

Most people have slabs

[leaden kiln]

I just have regular iphone now even though my previous 2 phones were foldables

just having moving parts in a phone in general sounds like a bad idea
they are kinda awesome but not really worth it

[empty wren]

The Motorola droid actually gets sales time to time probably more reasonable for someone to grab it

[steady sail]

I hope i can survive 2 more years on my iphone 14

[leaden kiln]

yeah we had the phones with the popup selfie cameras too but they stopped with those I think

[empty wren]

Yep

[analog sinew]

phones in 2k27 will cost 3000$ for the ram alone

[gusty kiln]

I still get another 5 years of OS updates for my S24U

Prob won't upgrade until an S29 model, that is if I stay with sammy

[empty wren]

This is just my opinion, but too many phone get released every year.

[gusty kiln]

every other year would probably be more healthy

like how GPUs are now

and soon CPUs

[pearl eagle]

does some1 have a 7inch monitor in their pc and can recommend one?

[native snow]

what is the word "medium" referring to here?

[umbral heron]

Doneness
I prefer medium rare ones

It refers to the spring stiffness, it's medium, about 50~60g, about in the middle of usual 30~80g range for springs

[reef patrol]

It's in case we ever decide to put out a lighter or heavier switch.

[native snow]

ohh

[reef patrol]

This is the Medium, the normal middle ground, comparable to most other keyboards out there that don't specifically throw in special switches.

[native snow]

i would love a lighter one actually

[reef patrol]

You could for arguments sake swap the spring to our lighter ones if you really wanted to.

[native snow]

would most likely mess something up

dont trust myself with that stuff

probably will get them they seem great and the price is amazing

this and an aluminum case and its as if I got a v2

[thick elk]

Done spring swaps myself, it is not that hard, but takes some time. prefer 100g myself which generally are harder to find premade. (Especially for the old flaretech wooting)

I also tried fn + backspace to reset keyboard but it didnt turn on after i did it

If so, try reset once again

[open pendant]

Bro

I cant get into anything

[umbral heron]

Unplug, wait 10 seconds, plug back in and wait 10 seconds, it'll recalibrate keyboard

Ok ill try

Wait it worked

[spiral island]

Well, it's been real Firefox

[magic minnow]

Zen Browser is really good too

[distant tapir]

I use Edge

[spiral island]

Yeah I heard good things about both, had to pick one 🙂

Don't want to use a chromium browser ideally, so hopefully this works out.

[magic minnow]

Zen is Firefox based as well

[analog sinew]

switched to librewolf today aswell :D

been on ff for all my internet history ever, so about 15 years atp but ig they just had to sell out for slop

[ashen spindle]

see im not switching off of FF because of AI or anything

but because I barely used it for a couple of months and now its the 3rd time it had an issue, I close it, and it lost all tabs I had open

[fair gull]

i jist use zen browser cause it does what arc did but actually works crossos

[spiral island]

What's the secret sauce w/ zen? I was trying to find salient differences between waterfox and zen and didn't find much.

[fair gull]

tabs at the side and folders for pinned tabs

together with soon maybe pinned tabs = bookmarks so they cant get lost if the browser crashes or such

just nicer to be able to see more tab name and scrollable tab lists where it doesnt rob screenspace most of the time. he only time tabs on the side really steal space is when consuming videos but nothing fullscreen or the shortcut to hide the sidebar cant fix

especially nice since a lot of websites have quie blank sides and mainly content in the middle

i also love that a lot of link styles first open a popup instead of a new tab

[sudden imp]

If they have an AI browser that’s stored locally and stuff it could be a cool novelty

[analog sinew]

then do it as a side project not put it on longterm users that didnt ask for it 🤷‍♂️

same with microsoft, make your agentic os and call it idk PORTALS cause its windows from the future

[halcyon moss]

i'll see what they'll do.. im not making any rash decisions based on this news

[sudden imp]

woah, they should hire you

[analog sinew]

they could hire any bum off the streets and he'd make better decisions than these billionaire ceos that have no clue what human life is like 🤷‍♂️

[analog sinew]

to me, switching to a ff fork took like 10 minutes. export import settings and done, same experience for me, -1 user for them

[fair gull]

exactly

[spiral island]

I did get fairly used to vertical tabs on FF. May have to check out zen instead.

[sudden imp]

How long till I can post in memes again

[reef patrol]

Being on the server for 30 days

[spiral island]

ah, looks like waterfox also supports vertical tabs ✨

[sudden imp]

I feel like ai could have a use it’s just we can’t find it since it’s being put into everything and pissing everyone off

[spiral island]

ML has plenty of use cases, LLMs... I still haven't come up with any use cases that I think are good for humanity. Mostly really good at disinformation and scams.

[fair gull]

zen screenshot with actual tab stuff

[spiral island]

Nice, I did install it and will give it a shot, but it's definitely more of a look-and-feel departure from FF than waterfox

[fair gull]

oh yeah

but i do like that as well

it just works like i want a browser to work (and no dumb manifest v3 only bs looking at you chromium)

[tribal dirge]

looks almost the same as Arc

[fair gull]

thats the idea

they liked arc and brought it to a firefox based browser

well except it actually works the same on all platforms unlike arc which only worked the best on macos

[tribal dirge]

I still have gripes with firefox, like not being able to use certain websites with it.

like my banking websites

[halcyon moss]

Wild. I never run into issues

[fair gull]

since they started fixing gradients to dither better i have no issues with ff anymore

actually less since i can use all my favorite manifest v2 extensions

[leaden kiln]

can’t use webhid/webusb so I still need something chromium for that

[spiral island]

Never had issues outside of WebHID stuff, but I just fire up edge when needed

Oh that's not true, there is one singular stupid site that insists I use chrome, so I keep it around... for just that site xD

[wheat plume]

Wootility?

Wait
No
Can't be
Wootility isn't a stupid site

[spiral island]

No, I forget the name right now - our company gives some $ towards team meals each week, and it's the site for the company that manages it.

Hoppier

By "improve your experience" they mean allow you to log in and use the site. Technically correct -- the best kind.

[fair gull]

what how

or even why

[fair gull]

btw there is addon/program combinations for this where it basically adds it to firefox by running a program on the pc

[spiral island]

Oh neat, I will look into it 👍

[urban dust]

Hi everyone, I have the Gateron Spark switches and they're currently not selectable under the beta firmware. Which one should I choose then?

[modern sky]

the one with the same travel

[unkempt lake]

Today i discovered i could use my pebble time 1 again

[wheat plume]

Bluefin swappiness is 10 by default.... is that a good value to use??

[empty wren]

Apparently raspberrypi imager fails to update the setup files. Had to do it manually.

[spiral island]

Is the moumou phone for you or…

[unkempt lake]

Everything belongs to moumou

My tv is called moumouTV

[spiral island]

Correct answer ✅

[unkempt lake]

ny pc? MoumouPC

she just lends em to me

[spiral island]

This little surprise came in my latest Amazon delivery. Loose in the shipping box, didn’t order it. I’m so excited to find out what’s on it.

Any guesses?

[fair gull]

it just means it keeps more in actual ram than swap

iirc bluefin was media smthsmth so prob intentional

[fair gull]

the adult stuff

like 18+ movies with blood and gore

or those video games i keep hearing about

[spiral island]

What if it’s some of them bitcoins I keep hearing about? Would they even fit in such a small drive? Mysteries

[leaden kiln]

would be pretty heavy with coins inside

[leaden kiln]

is your wallpaper azusa

[wheat plume]

Wut?

[ashen spindle]

is there a reason you're looking at the swappiness or are you just looking at numbers and wonder if they are correct

[wheat plume]

Usually when I install a distro, I set it to maybe 20 or so
But now that I have a lot more ram than I had before, I was going to change it to 10 but it's already at 10 anyway so that's good!

I was also wondering if it's even possible to permanently change the value on Bluefin due to it's immutability

It's likely it would be reset once the system updates to a newer deployment

[modern sky]

Maybe it's half life 3

[wheat plume]

Maybe it's Maybelline

Pluribus episode 8

Invincible season 4?

[spiral island]

@tribal dirge the last caps came in and are installed! Just have to rebuild her and cross fingers. Another night 😊

[tribal dirge]

hell yeah! I would love to see this thing run again!

also man, I forgot Motorola made CPUs back in the day LMAO

[spiral island]

I don’t have a mouse/kb for it so if I am very lucky I’ll have to shell out some more

[tribal dirge]

aye!

[spiral island]

Also, more projects, hate how Nintendo would solder batteries in 😡

Gotta wait for a coin cell harness now

[tribal dirge]

lol

[tribal dirge]

my dad still tells me how the Apple 2 was revolutionary at the time.

cauz it was the first computer with color graphics

[spiral island]

Those were early days for me, but yeah every year seemed like giant leaps

Color screen was another big one

(This one’s monochrome)

Biggest jump I remember affecting me was the Zip drive, going from 1.44MB to 100MB on a disk was world changing

[empty wren]

Figured out dietpi and kiauh, little more left for kalico

[magic minnow]

@unkempt lake friend bought this

Good card?

[reef patrol]

Sure. Can't comment on price though.

Got the XT model mostly untouched and it's kicking butt, replacing my old 3080.

I believe you can undervolt? the non XT and get similar ish performance?

[umbral heron]

Tiny bit less, but yeah
Both RDNA 3 and 4 love undervolting

[fair gull]

yes

[leaden kiln]

Fire

[leaden kiln]

cute

I have anime boat as my wallpaper(penguin manju go)

[fair gull]

sorry jellyfin is what i thought of. serves the linux community right that distro confusion is setting in

[rough osprey]

this you?

[fair gull]

i wish

then i could at least play guitar

[lunar elm]

low profile VC cooler versus ayymd 9950x3d

[rough patrol]

that fan has more surface area than the cooler itself

[lunar elm]

it sucks at cooling am5 btw

fatass IHS

[umbral heron]

I have this big boy for mine

[fair gull]

i wish someone worked on a coincell holder for gba games

they need to be extra flat

[analog sinew]

the V stands for speed

[spiral island]

I haven’t done a replacement on gba, but I have for game boy cart. These worked perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B5G2Z3TP?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Going by the name I assume they’d work

Link’s Awakening, reawakened

[tribal dirge]

ohnoes

[tribal dirge]

I use this one but with Noctoua fans rather than the stock Arctic ones.

[marsh glade]

Same

AIO FTW

[fair gull]

the issue with gba is that the coincell holder would need to go ontop of the maskrom and then also be not much thicker than just a coincell with tabs soldered to it. since the case pretty much touched the coincell

[tribal dirge]

they came out with a 3rd gen one just recently!

[marsh glade]

Oh I've got the smaller version

ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280

[tribal dirge]

nice

the new 3rd gen ones use thicker radiators and better fans with higher SP.

[lunar elm]

I got the lianli galahad 2 360 perf but its fatass radiator cooperated with the assrock mobo and not the mpower

like what is its problem

also a 420mm lf3 pro is so meta

Gemini actually has some useful features

Well, NotebookLM at least.

[lunar elm]

gemini has stml

[analog sinew]

waaat what a surpriiise

[magic minnow]

We need a 5090 in this format

[novel burrow]

Please, how do we get to Wootomation?

[umbral heron]

I believe that's called kindling

[analog sinew]

wootomation is outdated and no longer supported. use another macro software unless you want an incomplete thing (with wootings name)

[novel burrow]

Well, how do I add a macro to my Wooting then, please?

[reef patrol]

You learn how to use a different macro app such as AutoHotkey

(Also please don't spam multiple channels with the same question)

[novel burrow]

okay sorry But is AutoHotkey bannable?

[ashen spindle]

depends on the game

[novel burrow]

fortnite

[ashen spindle]

you'll have to ask in the games discord or on their page

we cant answer that for you

[novel burrow]

Okay, but do you have a website where I can install it?

[reef patrol]

All macros are on paper bannable.

So... your own risk. Doesn't matter if it's hardware or software based. It's against Epic's TOS.

[novel burrow]

okay tank you

[lunar elm]

yeah this isnt gonna work out for the LP cooler

[pale sigil]

Anyone here who has any idea about doorbell chime wiring and bypass for a smart doorbell

Wish I could get a closer pic 😭

But I read on Google I can increase the voltage to my doorbell doing something to my old chime

[ashen spindle]

rip

low power coolers do struggle on actual cpu usage I guess

[tribal dirge]

Iirc most smart doorbells either come with a bypass kit or you are able to buy a bypass kit separately

And then just follow the instructions on how to wire up the bypass kit

[pale sigil]

i think used mine to fix a fuck up with the wiring i caused lol

[tribal dirge]

Ooop

[pale sigil]

there is not much info other than this

[storm spoke]

B

[wheat plume]

🤔 this is cheap for a glass pad, right?

[wheat plume]

oh LOL

[empty wren]

It will kill your ptfe skates, just warning you now

[fickle ore]

• glass sucks

[wheat plume]

Mine are already killed cause im using them on bare dining table

[empty wren]

Rip table

[wheat plume]

not too bad xd

I do have a mousepad but its uh... cant use it infront of family 😅

[empty wren]

You could also look around for other mousepads as well like below..https://yuki.gg/collections/mousepads

Surely there are more anime cloth ones to chose from

[wheat plume]

Literally all sold out XXDDD

well, not the first design

nah I have one of the Helluva Boss Valentines Day desk mats, anime style, but not anime XD

[empty wren]

Could find a similar image with a mouse pad🤷‍♂️

Choice is up to you in the end

[wheat plume]

nah it is a desk mat, you put your keyboard on it too

[halcyon moss]

Do you still need a mousemat when you have a deskmat?

[wheat plume]

no xd
I wasnt looking at getting one, just found this brand and wanted to ask if this was a decent price or not for that mousepad

[empty wren]

Novelties will always be expensive

[leaden kiln]

[wheat plume]

[pale sigil]

It's glass

[wheat plume]

With artwork on it

If it was just a plain slab
That would be super overpriced
But the artwork makes a stupidly overpriced product a now slightly silly levels of overpriced

[dull hollow]

skates are cheap

[leaden kiln]

but the art looks bad

[dull hollow]

just buy blanks

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=5800x3d&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p4624852.m570.l1313

My 5800X3D going up in price

[serene ruin]

Need to get ddr5 ram. Whats the best way to go about it with this new surge in price?

[rough patrol]

uh

[serene ruin]

Trying to upgrade from AM4 to AM5 so i need DDR5 😪

[rough patrol]

good luck

[serene ruin]

Ye ik thats why in asking whats the smartest way to go about it given the circumstances

[ashen spindle]

get the lowest speed possible, assuming you go with an x3d cpu

like you see 6000 MT everywhere but you can just get away with 5200 or so and not lose any performance on those cpus

[rough patrol]

could grab a lower amount than you would under normal circumstances and gamble on prices becoming more normal sometime in the not too far future

but that is honestly just a gamble

[serene ruin]

9800

Or i might try out intel idk

I have the option since im getting a new mb anyways

[ashen spindle]

well on intel you'd want faster ram

on amd you could make use of the fact how x3d works and get the absolute cheapest sticks

[fickle ore]

It's time to buy good ram, bc its getting even more expensive soon

[serene ruin]

Wym? How does it correlate well together?

[ashen spindle]

x3d cpus have extra cache, that means the cpu uses the ram less often basically, thus making higher speed ram not give as much or any performance difference

so you can get the slowest cheapest ones and not lose out on fps

[serene ruin]

Interesting

[fickle ore]

Until you run out of cache

[ashen spindle]

yeah this is about gaming workloads

[fickle ore]

So you'll want fast ram anyways because you do not want to experience the running out of cache fps drop

[ashen spindle]

thats not how that works

[fickle ore]

yeah its complicated but the gist is it's noticeable in min fps

[ashen spindle]

no the min fps is whats getting lifted up by x3d int he first place

[fickle ore]

Yeah until you run out and then the bottleneck shifts to ram

[serene ruin]

6000 good then?

Or is it better to get 5200

[fickle ore]

for your wallet or your fps?

[serene ruin]

I also will be using CAD next spring semester on this computer

So that might need the better ram then i take it?

[fickle ore]

mm https://wccftech.com/apples-server-chip-to-use-intel-emib-packaging-amid-choked-tsmc-cowos/

[fickle ore]

Idk, if RAM prices are gonna be high for the next 2 years and you'll upgrade in that timeframe again, faster ram might be good pick

[ashen spindle]

you can just go with the cheapest you can find, and if you got free time see if you want to do some manual tuning

[fickle ore]

Say next gen Intel Nova Lake is gonna rock, it will have x3d like cache and it will like fast RAM, you'll regret not getting faster RAM

[ashen spindle]

why would he upgrade next year again when he only now is ugprading from am4..

[serene ruin]

Whats the odds ram prices equalizes again?

[fickle ore]

Ask him

[fickle ore]

After AI wars, so 2-4 years

[ashen spindle]

over what timeframe?

[serene ruin]

This upcoming year

[ashen spindle]

end of the year maybe

[serene ruin]

Trying to see how much of a gamble

I might do the low ram but just praying i find a 6000 out there

Even if i can score 2x8

And get 2 of em

[fickle ore]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ram/dont-wait-if-youre-planning-to-upgrade-your-ram-or-ssd-kingston-rep-warns-says-prices-will-continue-to-go-up-nand-costs-up-246-percent

[serene ruin]

Cause i need to make sure i can run all my engineering programs on this build

[ashen spindle]

just saying thats one way to maybe get some cheaper options atm that wont cost you any performance

any non game will be more than fine just because the cpus are quite fast on its own

[serene ruin]

Ah ok

[serene ruin]

Dawg you do understand this is all just approximation? This will die down before 2.5 years

[fickle ore]

ok bro

[ashen spindle]

it takes like 1.5-4 years to make another memory fab, if it would actually last 4 years of demand we'd get new fabs, they are not making any new fabs because none of them expect it to last that long

[serene ruin]

Not new fabs

They just need a breakthrough

China already got their quantum computers for mass production

I love our new era

[fickle ore]

They arent gonna bother making fab for consumer RAM if AI keeps being a good customer

[serene ruin]

Going to be engineering these humanoids real soon

[serene ruin]

Theres always a market

Its just too over saturated rn

They just need an effective method to have their own chips

Because they wouldnt be stripping it from consumers if they had their own

[fickle ore]

it was a shitty business, prices were too cheap

Anyways lets hope prices fall earlier but Im not hopeful

[serene ruin]

Praying i find someone lowballing themselves

Gonna hunt fb marketplace lol

[toxic kraken]

can you make macro's in wootility?

[serene ruin]

You can. Thats all i know

Unless it was discontinued?

There was a way before

[toxic kraken]

ok I try to find it

[pale sigil]

Amazon made a death star

kinda fitting

Mozilla’s new CEO, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo, announced that AI is coming to its browser. The news caused consternation among many open source, open web, and anti-AI advocates on social media, especially on Reddit.

Part of the reason AI in Firefox hit a nerve is that, in October, Google forced Gemini and AI Mode on Chrome without an opt-out. That led Chrome users like me to find alternatives, such as the Chromium-based Helium browser, which strips Google’s AI from the browser. Many Firefox users are concerned that Mozilla might similarly force AI into the browser without an option to turn it off.

The public outcry prompted Enzor-DeMeo to address the issue on Reddit on December 17th.

To be successful Firefox should serve almost everyone. Browsers are a unique product, it’s a product that has to work for just about everyone on the planet. Developers, Linux users, students, parents, and people who never change a default setting. Their needs differ. Sometimes they conflict…

[woeful hollow]

im trying to build a pc rn and idk what to get since im not good at building pcs

i was trying to know what the best parts are

i have this so far

doesnt matter the cost

im just trying to get the best pc

[lunar elm]

best performance or like best future upgrading

max performance get the apex and overclock ram

[unkempt lake]

With ram prices just enjoy what you have

[unkempt lake]

Are you trolling

[woeful hollow]

no :D

[woeful hollow]

best performance

[bright briar]

what games do you play?

[woeful hollow]

monster hunter wilds

[unkempt lake]

then you clealy need a threadripper and an rtx 6000 with 96gb of vram

[woeful hollow]

elden ring

[woeful hollow]

dawg what

[unkempt lake]

https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00134219

You said no price limit

[woeful hollow]

oh bet

[unkempt lake]

12k gpu

very reasonable

[woeful hollow]

ok bro it has to be reasonable

like 2k-5k

[bright briar]

those parts alone is more than 5k

[woeful hollow]

no for like

[bright briar]

and you still need more

[woeful hollow]

a part

[mild dome]

With those case fans, would you prefer looks or pure performance?

[woeful hollow]

both

this is what i got rn because i added some

[mild dome]

A balance of both? So LEDs a must, or can you sacrifice them for the greater good?

[woeful hollow]

hm

i mean as long as the inside of my pc is somewhat visible to people and myself so i can admire it

[bright briar]

seeing ram at 700 breaks my heart DX

[woeful hollow]

vro 😭

[boreal meteor]

Buying a $200 kit for $700 is crazy

[woeful hollow]

whats a kit

🥀

[lunar elm]

get a case that can do a 420mm aio
9950x3d like what u put
X870E Asus Apex
5090 Aorus Master, waterblock it and get a professional to solder a 2nd 12vhpwr connector and you flash 800w vbios
RAM get 2x24GB 6000 CL26

[mild dome]

Well the Phanteks T30 performs really good, but has no LEDs, it's an industrial grey colour

[lunar elm]

And then overclock the ram, see if it can do 6400 CL26

if not just go tune gear 2

[woeful hollow]

dawg

I dont understand ANYTHING of what you said

[mild dome]

Me or Zab?

[woeful hollow]

these?

[lunar elm]

yes

[woeful hollow]

zab

[unkempt lake]

Fortnite child wants good compootah use simple language

[woeful hollow]

ew fortnite

[lunar elm]

if ur 9950x3d imc bin is good you can probably do 6400 CL26 stable at like 1.25-1.3v

[unkempt lake]

Zab

[woeful hollow]

yo what is this brah

I just play games yall I dont understand pc building 😭

[unkempt lake]

I'm laughing my fucking ass off

[mild dome]

I recommend the Antec Flux Pro, it's really nice

[woeful hollow]

WHAT AM I LOOKING AT

[unkempt lake]

YOU SAID NO LIMITS

SUFFER

[lunar elm]

5090 Gigabyte aorus master, research what waterblock you need, watercool it, and then hire/find a professional to solder another power connector onto the card

Then you can flash a 800w video bios instead of the stock 600w

[woeful hollow]

WHAAAAAA

[lunar elm]

LOLOLOL

[woeful hollow]

huh

[mild dome]

Feed it more juice!

https://tenor.com/view/unlimited-power-star-wars-gif-10270127

[unkempt lake]

@lunar elm i think he should hire someone to pour Ln2 into the system

To just stand there

[woeful hollow]

what makes this worse than that

[lunar elm]

no need just block it

[woeful hollow]

i feel like yall r tryna sabatoge me 😭

[lunar elm]

this cannot flash the 800w vbios

[unkempt lake]

no he can hire the local homeless man

[woeful hollow]

whats a waterblock

[boreal meteor]

Lmao the guy said he doesn't know anything, bro just keeps word vomiting on him

[woeful hollow]

wym solder another power connector onto the card

and how do i flash a 800w video bios

[unkempt lake]

Yes you have to buy a soldering kit

[woeful hollow]

whats a x870e asus apex dawg

[lunar elm]

because the power connector is rated for 600w and at best like 684, 1000 has been done but just better for a 2nd connector

[unkempt lake]

Should also get a wireview pro

[lunar elm]

a overclocking board with 2 ram slots

[woeful hollow]

its a 3k card dawg

i aint soldering another thing onto there

ion feel safe

[woeful hollow]

motherboard?

[lunar elm]

yes

[lunar elm]

i said professional

[woeful hollow]

brujh

[woeful hollow]

what case can do 420mm aio

and what aio do i get

[lunar elm]

havn hs420

420mm arctic lf3 pro

[woeful hollow]

k

[lunar elm]

or just also block the cpu

useless for gaming

the other 8 cores are for other tasks

[woeful hollow]

ima just add it

cuz why not

its not out yet

[lunar elm]

higher price for at best 5% improvement in 1080p

[woeful hollow]

beo

[bright briar]

ain't no way this guy is fr

[lunar elm]

it’ll be in a weird spot betwee 9800 and 9950 x3ds

[unkempt lake]

Yeah but he's dumb enough to want to add a 9950x3d for no reason

[lunar elm]

im not even taking him seriously im just throwing random shit

[unkempt lake]

He's dumb enough to wait for 5% more SPEED

[woeful hollow]

DUDE

[woeful hollow]

i aint waiting 5% more speedx

tf

[unkempt lake]

go buy a 5000$ prebuild you will not wait the

[bright briar]

SPEED IS SPEED

[unkempt lake]

You'll press power and it will boot

Building yourself takes time

Tru speed

Right there

[woeful hollow]

yeah im building it myself

[unkempt lake]

Make sure the 12vhpwr cable for the gpu is a little loose

It helps with venting the hot air

[lunar elm]

just add like 8 arctic p14 pros to the hs420 and ur done

that part list is valid, now idk if ur genuinely trolling or what but just go with the list if ur deadass

[woeful hollow]

you said your trolling

dawg make up your mind 😭

[lunar elm]

when

that is not trolling

[bright briar]

I'll buy it for myself

[woeful hollow]

[lunar elm]

because genuinely if ur getting a high end system with no budget

throwing every high end part at the list is the easiest thing to do

so I am thinking of getting a wooting 60he+ cause i find i would like a smaller keyboard and i see wooting is the best out there. but im conflicted between getting a ducky one 2 pro 60 or aula f75 or fun60. the other options are cheaper im just wondering if anyone could give me some genuine input as to what they think. idrc abt modding a keyboard (im not trying to put more money into keys i just like the all black look) and im not a crazy rgb programmer but i do like nice rgbs. i rly appreciate it

[lunar elm]

ur in a wooting server ur gonna get biased opinions

fundamentally all are the same difference is that wootility is the best software out of the 3

[thick ermine]

Yeah, software and support over the life of the device will surpass the competition.

[lunar elm]

you pay premium for the best software and good QC, cant say bout the others since ive got no experience

[bright briar]

you answered your own question

if you're not sure sounds like you genuinely don't want it

[stone tulip]

Get wooting, fuck the other brands. When you have a woman over she’s gonna wanna try that wooting keyboard out 🫡

[wheat plume]

Only Wooting will Woot her™

Ok nah that's cursed xd

[halcyon moss]

Wooting still supports their first keyboard.

[wheat plume]

Yep 💜
They backport as many of the settings as possible that get added to Wootility

(do not buy that board.. new ones are much better)

[wheat plume]

Also check the Respawn page to see if any of the boards you want are on sale

[winter patrol]

bro is deciding between a $30 board and a $160 board, he's got bigger concerns

[wheat plume]

If you are good with very slight and barely noticable scuffs

[wheat plume]

YEH LOL

[halcyon moss]

if you're tight for cash... get the more affordable one.

it makes no sense to go into debt for a gaming accessory

[stone tulip]

Here’s some refurbished ones

[umbral heron]

Nvidia: Smuggling GPUs to China is impossible
China: Hold my beer
https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1pq6s1m/5090_smuggling_business_in_china/

[magic minnow]

You guys think the 6090 will be at 32gb or higher

[marsh glade]

No

My guess is most will have 24gb, and some will regress all the way down to 16gb

[magic minnow]

It’s honestly a possibility

[umbral heron]

6090 will be 24G
Just enough to play 4K, but if you want more for training AI you can spent 4x as much for a workstation GPU

[magic minnow]

So 5090 would be the card to get now right?

[reef patrol]

4090 with it's massive 24GB feeling very good about itself these days.

[magic minnow]

It’s in stock why is no one buying it

[thick ermine]

Because it’s $1359.99 more than a 5090FE

[magic minnow]

I regret not getting the FE when I had the invite email

[thick ermine]

You can sign back up for priority access. They do drops every once in a while

Also, hot stock is a good app on iPhone and android for stock alerts

[magic minnow]

Idk if it would be justifiable to upgrade from a 4090

[thick ermine]

It’s not

[magic minnow]

I was hoping the 6090 would get a little more vram

But with how the ai bubble is going I don’t know

[thick ermine]

It’ll have to pop eventually

[lunar elm]

prob 2028 tbh with 48gb vram and like 3k msrp or smth

[thick ermine]

I don’t foresee there being an insane memory shortage like now when the 6000 cards drop

[lunar elm]

what goes up must come down

[magic minnow]

And it’ll barely be enough to run Black Ops 10

[thick ermine]

If they don’t kill off the black ops ip after 7…rip

[umbral heron]

Also keep in mind that if corpos want to keep on investing in LLMs they are going to need something different than GPUs
Google is already switching to NPU-first approach
ASICs are going to be a way forward, like with crypto nowadays

[thick ermine]

Also, I’ve got a feeling companies are going to work on creating their own chips like Apple instead of solely relying on TSMC (in china) for production.

(Although Apple still does rely heavily for most of their chips still)

[umbral heron]

Yeah, Google already does that
And it looks like they may win the race, Gemini month ago was borderline useless, now it's the best model available
Anthropic is in close second
OpenAI just barely scores high in benchmarks, but their models are getting worse and worse

[thick ermine]

I wish their pixel phones were better. The 10 is honestly a flop imo.

[magic minnow]

Super bad

[halcyon moss]

openai's models are not getting worse, they're not getting better at the same rate as claude and gemini

[umbral heron]

I preferred GPT-4 way more than GPT-5
Current iteration of GPT-5 couldn't even answer my simple questions about bash streams and I had to correct it multiple times, whereas Gemini got it right first try

[magic minnow]

Do grok next

[umbral heron]

I don't have Twatter account

[umbral heron]

When Framework 12 with Ryzen

[magic minnow]

https://www.idropnews.com/news/shazam-popular-segments-viral-songs/256833/

This is pretty cool

[ashen spindle]

dont think you want a framework12, wasn that the one where they got the 65% color accuracy screen on lol

[reef patrol]

How do you even manage that 😄

[halcyon moss]

very cheap screen?

[ashen spindle]

50% ntsc 65% sRGB

[umbral heron]

[ashen spindle]

thats more than just cheap thats impressive to even find

[reef patrol]

I genuinely can't remember the last monitor I looked at, that didnt do like 97% accuracy.

This takes a special kind of incompetence surely 😄

[nimble arch]

Framework OLED when?

[ashen spindle]

you know what funny? its 1500:1 contrast, that means its above standard contrats for an ips but the colors are still that bad lol

[reef patrol]

[ashen spindle]

whenever you think you want a framework theres always a reason why you shouldn't

[umbral heron]

Repairable smol notebook

[ashen spindle]

yeah and you're only paying for that by making it cost about as much as getting a new one would

or I guess in thie case by having a worse image than a chromebook lmao

[halcyon moss]

oof, a 1000 bucks

[umbral heron]

Firefox is backing out even more - now all AI features will be opt-in, not opt-out

[reef patrol]

May their dicks remain unhammered for a long time.

For context.

[analog sinew]

doesn't rly matter

By even 1) Putting it out there in the way they did
and 2) Starting with opt-out

They've already shown their colors

"We have decided to boil the frog instead of hammering it" ah ah nonsense

lmao

[nimble arch]

The future of gaming is bright

[umbral heron]

Momnimng Dashiiii

[unkempt lake]

Hi

[ashen spindle]

shocking news, mobo vendors dont make good bios

[nimble arch]

Imagine getting gatekept out of your favourite game due to an out-of-date UEFI.

Especially on older motherboards and/or OEM pre-builts that might not get updated.

[crimson wigeon]

Just say no to games that do this shit

[nimble arch]

The problem is that more companies are copying the Riot Games rulebook

[ashen spindle]

I mean its more that its features that really should be working on boards with it

[umbral heron]

Only when it comes to competitive multiplayer
And not sure why there's Secure Boot and TPM requirement too, they don't really do anything
Secure boot would if they checked for status also, not only if it's enabled, otherwise I can sign and boot anything I want and game will be like "Secure Boot is enabled, all good, go on"

[ashen spindle]

they dont on its own but it being on helps them catching certain hardware cheats

[unkempt lake]

at some point... who gives a shit

[ashen spindle]

people who dont want to play against cheaters in valorant?...

"who gives a shit if they can catch more cheaters" is a wild take

[unkempt lake]

The number of people who use dma cheating is fairly small

Most cheaters are lazy

[ashen spindle]

they arent the majority, but its also not like its only 5

[unkempt lake]

The number of people who are willing to put the time and effort to setup DMA isn't significant enough imo

[ashen spindle]

dma has been getting quite big with the rise of normal cheats getting easier to detect

[unkempt lake]

Still fairly limited

[nimble arch]

Even a tab target MMO like WoW or XIV would be better with this level of anti-cheat

[ashen spindle]

one person using it ruings the game for the other 8?9? in the lobby

for pvp maybe, otherwise a mmo doesnt need it

[unkempt lake]

Player reports would take care of it

[ashen spindle]

after the fact, and only if you notice it and it gets handled upon

doesnt help if I get people banned at the cost of I waste one round with them first

I'd rather not do that and play the game instead

[unkempt lake]

I'd argue getting legitimate players banned because their bios isn't up to date is worse

[nimble arch]

They don't get banned, they just can't run the game.

[ashen spindle]

yeah just update bios

[umbral heron]

[unkempt lake]

If your computer is affected by this bug, you’ll be given a restriction

You still get flagged

[ashen spindle]

yes and you update bios and its gone..

[nimble arch]

This but I'm cosy on the sofa playing on a 65" LG C5 instead of a gaming monitor.

[ashen spindle]

there is no real difference between "you need to enable tpm to play" and "you need to update bios to play"

[unkempt lake]

Sorry if i dont trust riot to handle it
