[patent carbon]

Just gives me more time to get my Matrix server deployed at home.

[vapid ruin]

half expected since it's prop after their IPO

[pale sigil]

Missing items again and it came like this.

Last time it was food and before that ram.

I hope my case arrives....

[pale sigil]

My collection is expanding...I have two rolls in the kitchen

Got another 3kg coming tomorrow

It would be nice if I had a printer to use it on though

Really happy re usable spools being sold with filament now

[thick elk]

That's quite a lot of I hope PLA

[heady hazel]

petg is fine imo

[thick elk]

I mean stored like that will absorb moisture evne through the bag.

can work with drying but still.

[heady hazel]

i printed petg directly from the spool like that worked fine

[thick elk]

To be fair sunlu / jayo generally needs drying from the factory

[heady hazel]

geetech was fine

[thick elk]

It depends on circumstances to be fair. you will generally hear it if it needs drying

the bubbling

[pale sigil]

Petg/pla but also a roll of tpu

[thick elk]

My solution is just a large crate with desecant in there, keeping the humidity at max 25% once that's exceeded time to recharge

[pale sigil]

Also the petg are vacuum sealed

And I have a dryer

And my new amd can dry 4 at once

Also the missing item was 1kg of silica beads

But yes it's mostly pla

[thick elk]

Ah should have a better solution for those myself, now they just dangle loose in the crate

[pale sigil]

I bought vacuum bags from Ali

And a pump for storage

But I also dry them before storing

[thick elk]

As far as I know effect of vacuum bags is somewhat limited

[heady hazel]

i just use a box with dessicant in it

[thick elk]

problem is moisture exchange through the plastic of the cacuum bag.

[pale sigil]

I did but it became a pita for me

I created a filament box from IKEA but like, being in the wheelchair it's just a hassle now, back then it was easy.

[heady hazel]

fair enough

i just put whatever filament into the ender 3 and it largely works

[pale sigil]

I've had pla that's easily a year old

Dried and it worked fine

[thick elk]

PLA does not really care much though

[pale sigil]

If a spool is acting up I just use it for ugly functional prints

[pale sigil]

It most definitely does but not as extreme as petg

[thick elk]

Fair enough

[thick elk]

70% humidity is high even for indoors in the uk

[pale sigil]

My first peg roll was cursed, it made me hate petg.

Petg

I tried a new roll months ago and it came out good

So I started using petg

[thick elk]

I just know Sunlu really does not dry fillement well when you get it.

[pale sigil]

Pla pissed me off so much, I'll print something for 4 hours for a clip to snap in seconds.

[heady hazel]

time to print tpu for fun

[pale sigil]

Eg this

Had to reprint the hold like 2 times

I'm excited to try tpu

[heady hazel]

tpu is nice for seals etc

[pale sigil]

My new printer was supposed to be dispatched today but it didn't 🙁

[thick elk]

I have 2 reasons not to use pla, both stupid.
One was something left near a window in france and sagged. The other is using a textured sheet on a prusa which does not have the best adhesion with pla.

[heady hazel]

Pei sticks well with pla

[thick elk]

Have yet to try tpu, do have a small rool (decided to get a sample of a couple of 250g spools of different materials)

[thick elk]

Just that textured one did not, was new at the time so there is that.

Either way as long as it's dry little reason for me not to use petg so I use petg.

[pale sigil]

Somehow

My pla outside is still alive

The camera holder I put out in the summer

[heady hazel]

differentl colors, and pla is depending on the load more durable

[thick elk]

Oh it is actually fine in our climates, just extremes like in a hot car or window in the sun when it's 30c outside.

[thick elk]

Durablility way it yeilds not always favorable and there are other factors, honestly most of the time difference can easily be solved by a little bit more robust design.

Colors is a fair point if I cared for those much.

(not me recently ordering 5kg of black)

[heady hazel]

i mean there are cool pla colors out there for display pieces

[thick elk]

There are just been mostly functional in my prints.

[empty wren]

Pla creeps yes

[thick elk]

It creeps a bit more but really depends on your use-case how much it matters and how much you can engineer around it.

[empty wren]

There are significantly better polymer options out there in my opinion

[thick elk]

For me I'll just stick to petg, drawbacks are easy enough to manage, is cheap easy go-to for me.

[empty wren]

Pla just has the advantage of color options and needing low requirements to print at all

[empty wren]

Pet-g can be better than abs

Slightly higher heat resistance

[alpine patio]

yea

[thick elk]

ABS would be a nogo for me, like to be able to stay in the same room as the printer without needing an enclosure and filter.

[empty wren]

There are some filter pellets that turn abs fumes into edible by products

Not saying to eat the pellet, just that it becomes harmless

[empty wren]

But fair enough

[thick elk]

Still rocking a prusa mk3s, though plan to mess around to get it to klipper

[empty wren]

Should be simple

You can get look into ratos if you want later

They have a mk3 config

[thick elk]

I did order an accelerometer have a spare raspberry pi or I'll just run it of the server that is right below the printer, will see.

I mostly don't print that much but my last print definitely would have benefitted from faster print speeds.

Large ramp for my robot vacuum, 6cm tall as wide as the doorframe and at a 9 degree angle.

multiple parts of course

[empty wren]

Marlin also has input shaping

[thick elk]

Yea but probably not on the old mk3s boards

klipper makes a lot of sense for me, can always look at other upgrades somewhere down the track. On paper at least should be able to get a printer that can keep up reasonably well out of it.

[empty wren]

Fair enough

[empty wren]

There is one plastic in particular I used directly with a heated component, helped keep a design compact that way.

Pla would not survive

Pla can be annealed to survive a few hot hours in a car though

https://proto-pasta.com/blogs/applications/anneal-htpla-cf-for-a-truly-durable-fiddle

[thick elk]

Hmm, though this is one with additives to make it work, and fair. interesting use case the that one. Still in practice I would say most builds are not too sensitive to the choice of material.

[empty wren]

Depends what you need

[empty wren]

Can still anneal the more pure kind

Carbon fiber weakens layer bonding anyways

[heady hazel]

yeah i think annealed pla has actually good promise for a lot of parts

[empty wren]

If it has no real load sure

[heady hazel]

depends on the load direction and type

[empty wren]

Most plastics creep under mechanical load

It is why at times some people even forgo polymers altogether

And just use aluminum or steel

Annealing will help ppa/paht with creep some

This sadly creeped... (PPA-GF)

[thick elk]

As far as I understand the fibers don't help much with creep?

[empty wren]

I did not have it annealed

[empty wren]

Fibers can give extra stiffness

Though if one buys poor quality filament the fibers will be shards

Which will make parts look matte, but the inside will have voids

Also carbon fiber can increase thermal conductivity

[thick elk]

Hmm those are fair points, don't increase it's strength nor do they prefent creep.

[empty wren]

It can make it stiff, meaning it will probably snap before it creeps

Though the above picture is basically high temp nylon

Which if you know nylon it is very ductile

And typically from what I seen 15%≥ fiber content is common

[empty wren]

Typically used to reduce warping though

And hide defects

[thick elk]

Makes sense, also on the note of warping walls are very much an underused technique nowadays, they can really help at ton (especially petg on an open printer)

[empty wren]

Ah you mean the draft shield

[thick elk]

yea welp

[marsh pewter]

be careful with CF filaments, they often shed tiny shards of carbon fiber that can get stuck in your skin

[empty wren]

Very true

[thick elk]

To circle things around, petg remains a good default, even if it's not always the answer

[empty wren]

There is also pctg

And pet

[thick elk]

not nearly as cheap though

sub € 10 a kg is hard to beat.

[empty wren]

Fair enough

If you get it that low

[indigo sonnet]

any way to prevent shedding?

[empty wren]

Your extruder will bite into the filament

[marsh pewter]

not really. I think its recommended to just work with gloves and a mask and give it a clear coat when you're done with the part.

[heady hazel]

imo most of the time you can just get petg and pla, maybe a bit of tpu if you need flexible stuff

[empty wren]

Yeah microcenter here has that all

[heady hazel]

i get all my stuff from aliexpress tbh geetech has a warehouse in germany so it ships locally

[empty wren]

Great

[empty wren]

@heady hazel small printed block will lock the lid down( it has gas struts)

[heady hazel]

oh thats fancy

[empty wren]

just gonna have tnuts

maybe will design a better part later

[plush stirrup]

That’s a first

Heatshrink as packaging

And this is corsair 😅

[empty wren]

well free heat wrap then got even two different sizes there

[plush stirrup]

I have enough of that 😭

[empty wren]

ah alright then

[plush stirrup]

I think I even have 5m of heat shrink 😄

[plush stirrup]

Don't buy AMD problem solved 😄

[unkempt lake]

dumb take

Literally this is just a breakdown on a per sku basis and is interesting

We could make the same exercise with nvidia cards too

[ashen spindle]

which ones are the 12v models?

[unkempt lake]

The taichi lol

The one with the most failures

[plush stirrup]

I mean sure, but at least nvidia doesn't enable auto gpu updates 😅
I still have to downgrade my GPU firmware due to that shit

[unkempt lake]

Nitro + isn't sold in europe

[unkempt lake]

The fuck are you on about

[ashen spindle]

wat

ofc its sold in europe

[unkempt lake]

Also if you're talking about windows swapping out your gpu drivers for the hell of it i've had it happen on nvidia

[unkempt lake]

I mean at the retailers in question

[ashen spindle]

????

[unkempt lake]

Wait nvm it is on yhe chart

I just missed it

Silly me

[plush stirrup]

my AMD GPU is all problems, I seem to be on a new driver due to some auto update which I didn't even know existed, and now every time I stream on discord/watch a stream my driver crashes (though it also happens without doing that)

[unkempt lake]

What auto update are you talking about

Only auto update is the one for the chipset drivers

[plush stirrup]

Well it somehow updated my GPU too 😄

[unkempt lake]

Just sounds to me like your windows decided to update your gpu drivers which windows can and will do at times

Because windows is stupid

[ashen spindle]

whats your gpu and cpu?

[plush stirrup]

9950x3d and 7900xtx

[dull hollow]

@unkempt lake has there been a new adrenalin
im on 26.1.1

[unkempt lake]

I've had my intel gpu in my work machine switch versions randomly while i was working a few weeks ago

[unkempt lake]

There's 26.1.2 for nioh3

But thats an optional one

[dull hollow]

i dont even know what it is so i guess i wont update

[ashen spindle]

do you have the igpu of the cpu disabled?

[frozen ingot]

I've never in my 31 years of using windows had it updating my gpu drivers by itself

[ashen spindle]

windows might be trying to select drivers for the igpu and that bites itself with the gpu drivers

[unkempt lake]

Had it happen on intel nvidia and amd sometimes windows is funny like that

There's a setting called device instalation setting that you can just turn off

[ashen spindle]

amd is still at fault if this is causing it because they did the absolute braindead move of moving rdna2 to legacy branch in drivers so it now conflicts if you ahve rdna2 igpu and rdna3/4 dgpu but it shouldnt autoupdate

[plush stirrup]

could be but still all I've had since I had this was driver crashes, had to RMA one gpu, got denied because the webshop was shit, had to rma a different route, now driver crashes again, I hope it's software related this time x)

[ashen spindle]

I would try and disable the igpu if you dont have it disabled already

(assuming you dont use it)

[plush stirrup]

I do

[unkempt lake]

I'll say it is an assrock

[ashen spindle]

then idk sounds cursed

[unkempt lake]

But also all your wierd ram problems you once told me about @plush stirrup

[frozen ingot]

I've had it change dumb shit in the OS itself, but not install or update drivers/softwares that wasn't by and for microslop functions

[unkempt lake]

Honestly i've seen driver crashes related to ram

[plush stirrup]

yeah but still

[unkempt lake]

You're also running like 128gb of ram and all 4 sticks

Did you try running them at 3600mhz?

[plush stirrup]

those haven't happened after I swapped ram I think, don't fully remember if it ever got stuck on the new kit/board but it has never gotten stuck since really.

[unkempt lake]

Instead of 5600+

[plush stirrup]

2x 64GB

[unkempt lake]

What speed

[plush stirrup]

5600, as the kit is designed to do and as is listed in the QVL of my motherboard, seems to be running stable

[unkempt lake]

lmao

Clearly it isn't stable

Run it at 5200

See if that helps

[frozen ingot]

I member one instance windows updated and out of the blue figured my multichannel audio interface must be a 7.1 home theater setup, so I spent like 3 days tearing my hair out troubleshooting my interface and even contacting the manufacturers because I only got sound from the left speaker regardless of what possible fixes I tried

[unkempt lake]

Your imc only technically suppots 5200 and honestly with 128gb of ram i don't trust it to do more

128gb be picky

[plush stirrup]

AMD rates it for 5600 though+?

[unkempt lake]

nope

Wait no you have a 9950x3d

[plush stirrup]

yes

[unkempt lake]

I thought you had a 7950x3d

But yeah no 5600 should run

Ever tried a memtest tho?

[plush stirrup]

I think I did after installing them, it was fine, I tend to do it on all my devices when I install new ram/upgrade ram

[unkempt lake]

Idk seems like a basic step of troubleshooting this

May wanna run another one

Shit breaks

Also did you try rolling back to something like a driver from like september

[plush stirrup]

I'll boot into another windows install soon and see if anything happens on there I've been busy lately trying to get backups setup now that I bought HDD's

[unkempt lake]

I'll say i do know that there's been an automatic amd chipset update recently

[plush stirrup]

not yet, but the other windows install should, in theory still be an old driver

[unkempt lake]

Maybe try rolling that one back

[unkempt lake]

Only recent update i can think of tbh

[frozen ingot]

never really got conclusive results out of memtest, how the system breaks during stress usually gives me enough clues its ram related

[plush stirrup]

in my case it's just the game that crashes and discord due to the stream I think, firefox etc stays open but videos on there go black/green too after that happens

[frozen ingot]

sounds gpu related to me

if both game, stream and video playback peace out but your system remains running

if ram has a serious failure it typically brings the entire OS down with it via bluescreens/crash to boot

[plush stirrup]

Yeah the screens just go black/it freezes for a bit until I get an amd popup telling me about a driver crash

[lunar elm]

If it isnt fully stable it could be corrupting your drivers and OS

[tribal dirge]

[sullen bear]

Have you tried ddu?

[smoky parrot]

It sounds like a gpu issue but keep in the back of your mind that discord is a dogshit program coding wise

[sullen bear]

From the one message ive read its almost 100% the gpu drivers

[steady sail]

For sure but u don’t need DDU for that

[sullen bear]

I mean its good practice to just ddu into fresh driver

[steady sail]

You don’t need DDU for that both AMD and NVIDIA offers a good driver remover

[umbral heron]

Not sure for Nvidia
For for AMD their own utility is definitely better

[sullen bear]

Nvidia offers a driver uninstaller seperate from the app, but at that point why not use ddu?

[pale sigil]

DDU to be sure

[lunar elm]

amd used to give me a free ddu like every 2 weeks

[frozen ingot]

I never bothered to remove the current drivers for my 4060 when I swapped in the 5070

still works fine

[pale sigil]

Bambu said my printer will dispatch today 🙏

[tribal dirge]

Yayyyyy

I love my X1C

[old marlin]

which did you end up ordering

[pale sigil]

P2s combo

[old marlin]

mmh

I'd love to get one

[tribal dirge]

Niceee

[old marlin]

but just too pricy for me

[tribal dirge]

Rip

[old marlin]

yea I just don't print enough atm

and I got other stuff to spend money on

[pale sigil]

So like

I thought 3kg spools were just thick

But nope they are similar thickness but bigger lol

Gonna be a nightmare to use

Definitely can't dry it either 😅

[tribal dirge]

Trueeeee

[old marlin]

legit only reason why I would spend money on a printer rn is so I could fdm print minis

cause fuuuuuck resin printing

[reef patrol]

[halcyon moss]

why would you dry a network cable?

[old marlin]

wouldn't want it too wet

[pale sigil]

-_-

I try re using my spools vs bin then

[marsh glade]

You don't want to leak your IP

[pale sigil]

Whoo, printer dispatched.

[heady hazel]

Yeah seems a wrong extruder spring was the issue of it not feeding

[magic matrix]

Does Wooting offer keycaps for mac? I don’t really care that much about rapid trigger or whatsoever just wanted a good keyboard for my Mac however Wooting doesn’t seem to sell that as an option right?

[lyric hatch]

You can get third party keycaps that have Mac modifiers. Wooting does not sell any though

[magic matrix]

Do they work with the wooting keyboard? Is there anything like keycap height or width or whatever that i need to look into?

[lyric hatch]

Just needs to support MX stem (99.99% of keycaps you find online will)

[magic matrix]

Alright, thanks

[lyric hatch]

If you want a standard profile keycap set look for cherry/OEM

[pale sigil]

Microslop at it again

20+ notifications

[marsh glade]

Why on God's green earth would you have an Xbox app installed

[pale sigil]

It's not my screenshot XD

[marsh glade]

Then why do you care?

[pale sigil]

It's funny?

Especially with the whole AI shite

[marsh glade]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-urkel-ill-be-the-judge-judge-steve-urkel-gif-9821832899727075374

[pale sigil]

And how they replaced loads of work force with it to code?

[halcyon moss]

i see you're jumping to conclusions again

[marsh glade]

Well I don't think he's jumping

[halcyon moss]

rolling then

[crimson wigeon]

Apparently if you live in one of the blessed countries the Xbox app has a Bejeweled clone that you can play to earn those sweet MS rewards points, so that's probably the only reason to have that app installed

[marsh glade]

I could live my entire life without ever earning a single MS reward point, and be nonetheworse off for it

[crimson wigeon]

Yeah but some people do want them gift cards, can't blame them with this economy

[balmy vector]

Get gift cards through built in bejeweled, use gift cards to buy real bejeweled, peggle, and pvz

[pale sigil]

You can tell this is from a bygone era

Even budget cases have glass xs

I don't care to be clear

[marsh glade]

Heh get it? Care to be clear? Because it's glass ?

[smoky parrot]

Truly a dad to us all

[marsh glade]

[frozen ingot]

because the whole side isn't glass?

[pale sigil]

My current desktop isn't fully glass I don't think

[frozen ingot]

mines got a glass side, didn't need it but the non glass was out of stock and was only like €10 less anyways

[pale sigil]

I like this case so far

[frozen ingot]

looks weird

why is it so wide

[frozen ingot]

are you building a server

that's the kind of case I wanted in the 00s when you still had half dozen spinny drives

[nimble arch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRI78tq9Eik

[frozen ingot]

still an assmung, pass

[pale sigil]

Moving my server to it aye

My server was using a Lian li A3 with a 3d printed HDD caddy XD

[vapid ruin]

Quite okay if it lit pays them as much as a day worth of job

[pale sigil]

Some of my HDDs are younger than I thought, 2016!

[pale sigil]

Hmm no stand offs came with the case

Nvm

[reef patrol]

inb4 Amazon strikes again.

[sudden imp]

is that a server?

[fair gull]

technically any computer can be a server

[sudden imp]

thats true

[hollow path]

server? i barely knew her

[pale sigil]

So much space lol

Everything works... Until I get my sata pcie expansion card it's pretty naked

Ngl the one thing I hate is the fact the HDDs are a brick to install

Couldn't be assed installing the SSD at the bottom XD

Works, all good for now.

Bloody heavy though

[heady hazel]

@empty wren looking good with direct drive and the new settings

[pale sigil]

Need to get a little table for it XD

Nothing is booting 🙃

[pale sigil]

Please don't make me find a long HDMI cable 😭

Nothing showing on screen 🙃

[frozen ingot]

did you put the cpu in upside down

[pale sigil]

No error lights are showing

[pale sigil]

I tested it before putting it together and it was fine

[frozen ingot]

unplug everything but the bare minimum and double check all the cables

and cards, ram sticks etc so that they're properly seated

[pale sigil]

I will but it's bizarre

Its going through post

But nothing showing on my monitor

Ok it's booting

It's just the boot process hanging

[frozen ingot]

you get a post screen?

[pale sigil]

Unsure why

Ye

For some reason my other monitor didn't wanna work with it

[frozen ingot]

check the ram

if its seated properly, try removing one stick at a time until something changes

if you're down to one and its still the same, try swapping that one with the others

[sinful quest]

personally I would do it the opposite way, starting with one, if it works testing two and so on
but this is my opinion

[pale sigil]

It's not hardware at this point

Also I dropped my zinc 80he on my foot 😢

[sinful quest]

your feet fine?

[pale sigil]

Ye

[frozen ingot]

if it crashes/freezes at bootup its very likely hardware

[pale sigil]

I swear to God if I fucked my truenas install somehow

[pale sigil]

No now my issue is truenas won't voor

Boot

Only the bootloader worjs

Works

[frozen ingot]

or yeah your system drive is corrupt in some way

[frozen ingot]

that works too

[pale sigil]

Hmm the SSD is detected at least

[sinful quest]

at least something

if nothing goes wrong while setting up a set up, it's no fun or something

[frozen ingot]

its a sigh of relief every time I start up the first time after finishing the build and everything works fine

[pale sigil]

Looks like the bios reset

[frozen ingot]

I just want shit to work, troubleshooting pc's sucks ass

[sinful quest]

yea

and troubleshooting over distance is even worse

had to help some friends with setting up their system and I wansn't able to do it in person

[pale sigil]

Hopefully it sorts it

Secure boot is a no no with truenas

Yup

It's booting

Thank fuck

[green topaz]

Does anyone know when the Optimum Keycap set will be back in stock

[pale sigil]

I wonder why the bios reset....

[sinful quest]

ayyy lets goo

[frozen ingot]

maybe you got the bios reset pins touching by accident

[pale sigil]

Maybe

[heady hazel]

could be that you accidentaly shorted the cmos pins or the battery is dead

[pale sigil]

Truenas takes so long to boot for me lol

[frozen ingot]

if its an older mobo it could be battery too yes

[sinful quest]

you boot with a ssd right?

[pale sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/macgruber-im-in-imin-gif-24174214

[pale sigil]

Yes

Time to put it back away, the fucker best boot.

Yanno how much of a pita it is carrying this bastard in a wheelchair?

[frozen ingot]

ssd is kinda non-descriptive in this day and age when they've been around for almost 2 decades

[pale sigil]

Its a thicc boi

My office is a mess too

[frozen ingot]

nobody boots of an actual spinny boi these days unless they're like in the third world or using a $149 laptop from walmart

[pale sigil]

Even those use flash storage

[heady hazel]

i had it after 4 years of using mine roughly

[pale sigil]

This is a UK

I paid way to much for it tho

NVM I didn't

I was wondering why the fans were super loud, I cannot be assed re making the fan profile today

[heady hazel]

its kinda a pain to replace ngl

[frozen ingot]

at least if its sits right under a card slot or cpu cooler

[pale sigil]

Everything is as it should be but fucking hell it's loud

Because my fan curves reset

[reef patrol]

[tropic sundial]

anyone else following some dude that’s experimenting with using ice to cool their cpu?

[pale sigil]

Nevermind it's annoying me enough

I'm doing it now

There's 4 fans in there now

[sinful quest]

[pale sigil]

There used to only be 2

Kinda regretting using all the fans

Lulu likes it

[heady hazel]

yep

[frozen ingot]

yeah that's a dumbass place for it

bet it gets nice and toasty there too right next to gpu and cpu

[heady hazel]

likely

[pale sigil]

Ye so um

These fans are loud AF

I'm just gonna disconnect them

Christ even one is loud

[frozen ingot]

my mobos auto fan curves does a pretty good job

[sinful quest]

Have you tuned the curve yet?

[pale sigil]

I'll just buy some p12s

[frozen ingot]

even at full load the pc only makes a slight wooshing noise

[pale sigil]

Yes unfortunately the case fans are 3 pin

[sinful quest]

Well thats a pain

[pale sigil]

However my p12 is 4 pin so I can at least control that one

So I'm just gonna disable the case fans and order a new p12 for the HDDs

[frozen ingot]

arctic gud fans

my chassis fans all arctic p14 and p12 pwm fans

[sinful quest]

noctua also gud fans

[frozen ingot]

I should fucking hope so for those prices

[sinful quest]

I hate standing up quickly
I almost passed out

low blood pressure?

[sinful quest]

Maybe, it's sometimes worse and sometimes less worse

[frozen ingot]

its common to get dizzy and a bit fainty from it

I never had that issue but my blood pressure is also too high instead

[sinful quest]

I actually passed out once at the hospital
I was there cause of my knee

[pale sigil]

For fuck sake

[frozen ingot]

might wanna get that checked out

I reset the bios on my desktop, I keep hitting the button when I lift it

I fucking hate the reset bios button so much

[frozen ingot]

as in lift the motherboard or

On the io

[sinful quest]

Happend once and i told my doctor but he said I am fine

[pale sigil]

This mobo takes like 10 minutes on "first boot"

[frozen ingot]

well guess its better than high blood pressure at least, as long as you don't fall and bang your head from it

[frozen ingot]

I thought I had one of those buttons on my io panel but luckily its just for flashing the bios from a usb stick

I'd hate having a reset back there its way too easy to hit by accident

tbf it's mostly not as bad, but everytime I am worried or anxious it's getting meh

It must be a "gaming" PC
Basically my other cousin and his brother has 7600X and 4060 in his PC
And they need to have similar builds

[sullen bear]

5060 is cheaper

classic ayyyymd

[ashen spindle]

… what does this guy think he could get more than he already has?

[frozen ingot]

in terms of the software that's not an unreasonable assumption to make

[umbral heron]

FSR4

[ashen spindle]

Fsr4 ain’t happening even on the cut down int8 versions that’s basically pointless on rdna2

Same way you can “use” the latest dlss 4.5 heavy model on Turing but it’s less frames than native lol

So what other software feature could there be?

[frozen ingot]

turing is way older than 2 years

[ashen spindle]

Rdna2 is 2020 not 2 years ago..

[umbral heron]

I still want it FSR4 on RDNA3
It is possible, works really good, but AMD doesn't want to give it

[ashen spindle]

That’s another topic sure but on rdna2 I wanna know what possible features one could expect that’s lacking?

[umbral heron]

I mean I guess maybe some driver support for new games, but that's it

[ashen spindle]

That makes it sound like it couldn’t run new games which isn’t the case

[frozen ingot]

its abandonware at that point for amd

[marsh glade]

I suspect you're looking for wisdom where there's none to be had

[old marlin]

man people really only care about the fake and upscaled frames

[nimble arch]

It's coming to PS5 Pro in the PSSR update due this year. Then maybe it'll release for RDNA3.

[frozen ingot]

you realize not all of us have pocket change for a 5090 to run everything at native?

[rough patrol]

people need ai to hallucinate frames where they are good at the game

[old marlin]

games that run shit will run shit regardless

[umbral heron]

I mean in case if something breaks

[ashen spindle]

but you cant just say classic ayymd and then post something about... nothing? like yes not getting fsr4 on rdna3 is a joke, but like, what exactly is the classic ayyymd case for rdna2?

[old marlin]

and like a 7900gre or something of similar power can handle most stuff at native just fine

and the stuff it can't handle is bs like bl4

[frozen ingot]

I don't see where rdna2 is even mentioned in that post

[old marlin]

which just runs like ass regardless

[ashen spindle]

what do you think a 6800xt is?

[sullen bear]

I run dlss with a 5090 cuz the anti aliasing is better than native imo

[umbral heron]

If you have around ~100fps it's a good way to boost it to stable 120fps for example

[frozen ingot]

native AA these days is TAA in like 90% of games yeah

[old marlin]

with how shit forced TAA looks, yea

idk how we arrived at either upscaling or forced TAA in a lot of games

[sullen bear]

Dlss + dlaa = best u can get rn for visual fidelity

In my opinion^

[umbral heron]

Native + FXAA

[old marlin]

dlss is not contributing in that way

[sullen bear]

Idk native fxaa looks too oversharpened sometimes or jagged

[nimble arch]

DLSS/DLAA clears all alternatives

[umbral heron]

I like jaggies

[old marlin]

meanwhile people actually say that framegen is fine

[nimble arch]

NVIDIA won the middleware war

[frozen ingot]

so does rdna3 work on 6800 then?

[ashen spindle]

what

[old marlin]

wha

[sullen bear]

Frame gen is fine if your base amount of frames is high enough

[umbral heron]

6800 is RDNA2
7xxx is RDNA3

[old marlin]

hell no

even at 60 base it is ass

[sullen bear]

If you have 120+- fps frame gen is good, if u have to start with 40-60 fps its ass yea

120 to push to 280 or smth

[frozen ingot]

yes but you can allegedly force fsr4 to work on a 6800

[old marlin]

if you have 120 frames why are you using framegen

still does not make it better

just smearier

[sullen bear]

To get 280fps

[old marlin]

you don't get 280

you get 140+blur

[ashen spindle]

yes thats what I talked about earlier when I said its the same as using dlss4.5 on turing and getting below native performance

[sullen bear]

Idk i never had frames that low so far

[umbral heron]

You can
It's abysmal, because AI accelerators in 6xxx suck, but you can, sure

[old marlin]

it is "280"

but it really is 140 with blur

[ashen spindle]

fsr4 the older models work on rdna3 and should be enabled, on rdna2 its just giving you lower fps

[sullen bear]

Meant that ive never tested it from 140 to 280 cuz im always 200+ fps

[ashen spindle]

thats why I asked what about rdna2 is a "classic ayyymd moment"

[frozen ingot]

I mean they did try to end new driver support as well, they were basically forced not to by user backlash

[ashen spindle]

yeah except nothing changed and ending new driver support isnt what people think it is, its not changing what games run or not

[frozen ingot]

I mean the games can technically update in a way that would cause problems with older drivers

[ashen spindle]

they are still getting driver code updates and changes to prevent that and fix that

they would have gotten this before as well

nvidia does the same just calls it something different

[frozen ingot]

it can be the other way around too which is an increasing problem with current nvidia cards

lot of older games don't like the 50-series that much

[ashen spindle]

entirely different thing mostly about physx for ancient games that didnt get updated and they fixed that now too

the issue with dropping rdna2 to legacy/stable/whatever its called now has mostly to do with adding new vulkan features not getting into current gen consoles and potentially limiting the vulkan roadmap

[frozen ingot]

don't have to be ancient, its enough to go back like 10-12 years

[ashen spindle]

but for consumers nothing changed on rdna2 cards

[frozen ingot]

and yes the vulkan debacle is another issue

[ashen spindle]

nono thats not another issue, thats the only issue about the drivers

thats why people should be mad at amd, but it was never a case of they would not fix broken drivers or not support new games

people just went with what headlines said

[frozen ingot]

still no official fsr4 support on rdna3 either

[ashen spindle]

yes, again, thats also valid complaints

[steady sail]

I mean which card could use FSR4 from RDNA3 ?

[ashen spindle]

all of them

they couldn't use the best version since they dont have the hardware for it, but they could use a version of it thats still an option to run slower than fsr3 but better IQ

[frozen ingot]

yeah you can run it with 3rd party fixes apparently

[steady sail]

I see

[ashen spindle]

the 3rd part fix uses the leaked int8 model that is one of the earlier abandoned ones that is behind in IQ of newer fsr4 versions

I have a question guys

Is this a good deal for 650 euros ?:

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E Gaming
64 Go RAM Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz CL16
INNO3D RTX 2070 SUPER iChill
SSD Sabrent NVMe 500 Go.
Fractal Design Define R6
LDLC 1000W Gold Plus

[ashen spindle]

absolutely not

[potent heart]

Thanks

Ill take all the info you guys have

[plucky tapir]

Prices here for sold stuff: 3900X 150 euro, X570 Strix 70 euro, RTX 2070 140 euro. If you think the rest is worth 300 then maybe but if it was pre-AI prices I'd say no.

[potent heart]

I need to learn

[ashen spindle]

64gb is going to eat a lot of budget atm unless you need it for work

1000W is way too much and costs more for something thats not needed

[potent heart]

No I was going to sell 32go

It’s a prebuilt btw that’s why

[ashen spindle]

x570-e board is also overpriced since you dont need any features there unless you want to overclock

3900x isnt good for gaming for gaming you dont want the x900/x950 skus from amd generally

costs more for no gain in gaming

[plucky tapir]

Peak efficiency is around 50% load so I'd get 1000W for a 500W system.

[ashen spindle]

thats not a 500w system

its like 300W while gaming

or less

Series s is a budget console from 6 years ago

[unkempt lake]

and comparable to most handheld pcs on the market...

Well the new new ones with z2 extreme

Actually those are lesser

Gpu wise

Anyhow

Point is having better than series s in a 15w slim console

Is insane

[rough osprey]

No, just tvs

Samsung never made 8k panels themselves as far as I can tell, dunno who makes the panels for their TVs tho

Google says Tcl but 🤷‍♂️

[ashen spindle]

its only half nvidias fault, its a bug in the api that some fan control software uses that isnt public

so they didnt break anything that they or certified apps use but still removed it so people dont break cards from fan software thats using undocumented api

DAPs are a waste of money imo. They are just inferior phones with a dongle built-in

And they are often thick and unwieldy, as well as being an extra device to keep on you instead of just using a phone

[rough patrol]

I like the idea of your music listening not being tied to a phone

[astral haven]

My phone being tethered is annoying
I use a Bluetooth adapter rather than a dongle, but if you want a step up in quality, dap is the way to go

[distant tapir]

Transparent dongles are easy to find. Not worth paying for all the other stuff like a big thick slower Android device with a worse screen than a phone etc.

[rough patrol]

I dont even believe in them being a good audiophile product, i‘d much rather say they have the potential to be a good lifestyle product

[astral haven]

The wire being stuck the phone is the annoying part

[rough patrol]

Not having to use your phone for everything is good actually

[distant tapir]

The expensive DAPs are basically just phones without a call or sms function

I had a DAP before that wasn't running Android but it was unpleasant to use

So I just use my phone

[astral haven]

And that is the benefit

[lyric hatch]

If you're not carrying around audio gear like this on your commute do you even listen to music

[astral haven]

Iems? Weak, should be carrying around a full estat energiser setup

[distant tapir]

All that for performance that is probably worse than a Protocol Max

[sudden imp]

no chrome

It’s a laptop for university and doing stuff on chrome works better

[wheat plume]

Recently got the Fiio Echo Mini DAP and I love it
It's so basic with a tiny ass screen and physical buttons to use and navigate with
And it's so small and light I can keep it in my pocket when listening to music or on my desk when using it as a DAC

[lyric hatch]

Eh doubt it only so much you can do in such a small form factor, paper specs don't mean much

[distant tapir]

Protocol Max has been measured. You can do plenty in a tiny form factor. Look at the Apple Dongle

[lyric hatch]

Right and you can measure a keyboard for 0.001mm deadzones but doesn't mean there isn't misinputs and other issues with it doing so

[leaden kiln]

Bigger is better

[pale sigil]

My new 3d printer is coming tomorrow

[distant tapir]

What measurements are missing to capture any potential audible issues in the Protocol Max?

[astral haven]

Interaction with variable impedance headphones is rarely measured

[distant tapir]

Protocol Max has very very low output impedance

[astral haven]

Its more likely with crin stuff since the truthear blue and red are all over the place impedance wise, but there's wacky stuff that goes on with many drivers

Oi is a metric that has become a target that has lost its usefullness as a metric

[lyric hatch]

Sustained power at the top without clipping mainly

[astral haven]

That's unlikely to be a problem with that style of device

Also if you need more than 3v @ 600mw, get a different device

On a semi related note, anyone know how to get a short cable for 2 pins iems that is the length of the mh755 cable?

[wheat plume]

https://youtu.be/NvP4cRTgFos

[umbral heron]

The Act requires operating system providers to collect the birth date or age of the primary user of a device through an account holder’s account setup process. Operating system providers need not collect additional information like photos of government IDs to verify the user’s age. Based on this age information, operating system providers must send digital signals via real-time API (age signals) to developers upon request, transmitting the user’s age range bracket – under 13, at least 13 and under 16, at least 16 and under 18, or at least 18.
So basically just a prompt "how old are you" while installing OS is enough

But yeah, that's idiotic idea, introduces nothing but more bureaucracy https://www.alstonprivacy.com/california-enacts-digital-age-verification-law/

Delete the extra padding and put the settings menu back under my finger where I just tapped you monsters!

My SO* wants a refurbished tablet (ugh), for light school work and watching Youtube at home. What's a not terrible iPad to get at this point?

[old marlin]

tablet or ipad?

[iron wave]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[reef patrol]

Either honestly. Her main use is going to be Youtube and ChatGPT. So yeah...very mild. I suppose some kind of iPad would be easier to repair etc... but we have zero Apple in the household.

[old marlin]

redmi pad pro is a pretty good deal

200€ new, screen looks good for an IPS screen as well

not suuuper fast but if you don't game on it that doesn't really matter

[reef patrol]

Never heard of it. This one?

[old marlin]

use mine for dnd so editing a pdf and browsing at the same time

[old marlin]

yes

[reef patrol]

Hah - Another one of those "half off but not actually a sale"
Can get it for 270 here

Suppose I could just grab it in Germany from Amazon.

[halcyon moss]

modern samsung tablets have 7 years of software support

[reef patrol]

Let's see.... 128GB model, no pen. 220€

Seems fine.

[jaunty rose]

I saw the leaks, some guy got terminated because of it

[pale sigil]

her head is weird

[reef patrol]

Generic civilian no 45?

[jaunty rose]

I think it’s weird to buy her so soon though, haven’t had time to really know her as a character

Imagine buying a skin for someone that you end up hating later on 😭

[clear perch]

guys what keycap & switch puller do yall recommend?

[rough patrol]

keycap puller: ws keycap puller
switch puller: ws titanium switch puller; tx switch puller
combined: TX multitool

[clear perch]

this one?

[rough patrol]

yeah, i have it and its quite nice but if you want something more economical you could go for some of the others i listed

[clear perch]

This is good (as long as it doesnt break like the wooting one that came with my kb)

[magic minnow]

Use a flathead

[rough patrol]

the keycap side might break if you put too much force but it should be fine

if you manage to break the switch puller end, i salute you for being stronger than me

that stuff is solid metal

[clear perch]

i made a keycap puller with lego dw

if it breaks i have that one

its lowk ahh but works

[rough patrol]

if it works, it works

[clear perch]

wait technically i can use the switch puller as a keycap puller too right?

its from wuque studio right?

[rough patrol]

i would recommend against using a switch puller to pull keycaps

[clear perch]

also do i choose s or l for the keycap puller sorry for so many questions

which one do you recommend

[rough patrol]

i have s

s is for regular sized keycaps, L is better for large keycaps like spacebar

[dull hollow]

gaterons 3in1 is also pretty good

[rough patrol]

s still works for larger stuff but its not as nice for it

[dull hollow]

i think it costs more than the 5in1 tx though

[clear perch]

ait bet thank you for your help🙏 💯

why is everything so expensive the shipping is more then the switch puller😭

[rough patrol]

if you are in the EU you may be able to find the ws stuff on maxgaming

[clear perch]

Thanks ill look there

[clear perch]

is there any cheaper stuff im saving up for the superstrike

[smoky parrot]

I bought the switchpuller on MaxGaming

[rough patrol]

you can get the ws keycap puller and the tx switch puller on maxgaming

would be cheaper

but like, if you cant afford those things then dont buy em

[smoky parrot]

No, absolutely buy them if you can't afford

While you're at it, send me the money in a letter between two common pokemoncards

[rough patrol]

oh, i thought i should pull the card apart, place the money inside and glue it back together, then do that a few more times and put them back in a pack that i seal back up

[clear perch]

it isnt

the price isnt even that bad its the shipping

like the tx multitool shipping costs 2x as much as the product

[rough patrol]

Tried aliexpress?

[warm ore]

welcome :D

[heady hazel]

@empty wren seems my extruder is hungry, i wonder if its an issue of the extruder or the filament

[empty wren]

i would suggest you fiddle with it

some parts are adjustable

also you can lower retraction now that you have direct drive

[heady hazel]

i did but so far it seems to print fine , ill fiddle wiht the extruder adjustment i guess thats the issue then again this is after 4 hours of printing so not the worst

[empty wren]

to me it looks like too much retraction

and gears being maybe too close

[heady hazel]

i suspect the proper spring is not that one neither the other one which was spinning

the previous one we tried was too short

[empty wren]

the one above seems fine

it is just i forget right now how the either the bearing or gear moved

but one had mechnical adjustment

[heady hazel]

the gear is stationary driven by the stepper i think

[empty wren]

ah must be the idler bearing then

[heady hazel]

could be that it has too much pressure and bites into the filament

[cerulean arch]

Didnt get it to under 50, will see what i can do with Superstrike but ar least 50g too

With Obsidian Pro Air Dots and Donuts

[reef patrol]

Pull out the battery and use it wired.

[pale sigil]

Ye it's magic

[thorny robin]

Hey i wanted to ask if anyone here has really good knowledge on gpus?

Im trying to swap from console to pc i have a 2.5k budget and im stuck between the radeon rx 9070 xt and the 5070 ti

[ashen spindle]

they are about the same in performance

[thorny robin]

I mainly play story games and marvel rivals along with fortnite and warzone from time to time

[gusty kiln]

the 9070 is like 200-300 cheaper than the 5070ti

[thorny robin]

I also play on my 1440p monitor

[ashen spindle]

yeah if one of them is cheaper by a good chunk get that

[wheat plume]

OMFH
Actually accurate AI video summary on YouTube for once

[thorny robin]

Oh ok then ill check out the 9070 xt then thank you guys

Can't understand it but through google lens it's bascally comapring phone given out to reviewer and the retail version

like damn

[pale sigil]

I've been using 60hz on my phone for like two weeks

And didn't realise

[leaden kiln]

I could never tell the difference when I was using a samsung

[frozen ingot]

shows how nescessary of a feature it is on a phone

[leaden kiln]

I can easily tell on my iphone though

both 60 and 120 felt more like 80-90 on my samsung

[lyric hatch]

Maybe back when the touch sampling rate on Samsung was 60hz (S10 and earlier) but you couldn't tell the difference now

And it's very easy for me to tell 60hz refresh rate is real choppy

[empty wren]

Does not help android having micro stutters despite energy aware scheduling

90Hz smooths it out nicely in my experience

[lyric hatch]

Well the new iOS helped equal that one out

[pale sigil]

Just scrolling is insanely smoother

You're insane

But you could have also had un

[leaden kiln]

I can easily tell the difference on my iphone, I still can't at all on my fold 5

[pale sigil]

The thing that changes refresh rates all the time

Browser apps will usually run at 60hz for example

[empty wren]

Could try override toggle in developer options

[leaden kiln]

well I sold it last week

[pale sigil]

You don't even need to do that

In display settings

You can set constant refresh rate or refresh rate for every app one by one

[soft drift]

which switches for 60he+ module can u guys recommend?

[soft drift]

especially for gaming?

[dull hollow]

theyre all roughly the same

its just how much stability you want

and what sound you like

[leaden kiln]

I think that might be exclusive to the phone you're using, never seen that option

[dull hollow]

performance is the same because that comes from the keyboard

[wheat plume]

Housing crunch on some units
For the Peach Magnetic

😅

[soft drift]

are all of them useable in wooting software (rapid trigger etc.)?

[wheat plume]

Yep
Wootility let's you pick what switch you have
