so use what Banjo said

#

Callum... it's social media. They don't need access to your shit to know. You're willingly spilling the beans by visiting, liking and posting 😄

pale sigil
#

Yes but cookies dont leave the container so using different sites via the extension doesn't affect other tabs

#

So tracking is not outside of that tab

#

ofc fbook are tracking your likes, comments etc

pale sigil
#

but anything outside of fbook cookies are not tracking you, everything stays within that container and when you open new links etc its constantly making a new one

#

privacy is a nice thing to have even if you dont have much of it

disney+ doesn't work with linux thanks to drm lol

zenith mirage
#

The mouse strikes again

zenith sonnet
#

What do we learn from that? Don't support stuff with DRM

old marlin
#

Netflix has the same drm

#

And amazon prime stuff

#

Disney just uses a higher security level

#

Will probably get "fixed" in a month with an android emulator thingy

zenith sonnet
#

Urgh

#

Is it possible to make sure that, when the displays turn off after inactivity, and then turn on again, Windows don't hop between displays?

#

Every time my PC is idle and turns off my displays, my browser hops from the right to the left display

old marlin
#

wtf

#

do you use a dock or something?

sick creek
#

@zenith sonnet sounds like your display is actually turning off, not going into sleep mode, and the pc no longer sees the display

#

Otherwise it should preserve the desktops

zenith sonnet
#

Afaik that's what DP does

#

🤔

fair gull
#

my pc keeps freezing for seemingly no reason

#

lol

feral jolt
#

Have you tried percussive maintenance

safe patrol
#

sounds like you need to invest in an electric blanket

#

or better yet... electric sheep

halcyon moss
#

or memory

#

once i had a stick of ram that froze my laptop.. it ran fine on memtest86+ for hours.

#

But if that stick was in my laptop, it froze after a while...

timid chasm
#

My buddy had a random stick that caused bsod. Once he finally got rid of it it never came back.

#

Which 2x 16GiB or 4x 16 GiB RAM kit would you guys recommend?

#

I think it's more like a question of 'Which Trident Z Royal kit should I get?' at this point? Are there comparable alternatives?

#

And every other week they release a new high end kit...

reef patrol
#

Yeah... I stopped caring and bough the best variant of 3600 I could find at the time.

#

I.E. "The kit that Samsung makes the dies for at as low of a CL as possible within reason"

wheat plume
#

I see you like LGR Mansen

#

I approve

ashen spindle
#

ryzen 3000 or different platform? if former you can start by ignoring all kits with higher rated clocks than you will need

reef patrol
#

Oh yes. I've watched him since he started doing Sims stuff. 😄

wheat plume
#

oo!

ashen spindle
#

also, corsair dominator is a 2x16 option that could be cheaper than trident z and still be good, not sure if they have 4x16

reef patrol
#

Not as purdy though imo

#

The Doms LEDs are much more in your eyes eye piercing light. The TridentZ and Royals are more matte.

ashen spindle
#

yes but I dont care about looks on my ram lol

#

mine dont even have a cover, it's just bare sticks

reef patrol
zenith sonnet
#

Either Ryzen 3000 or TR 3000

#

Not sure yet

#

X570/AM4 doesn't have much live left

#

Zen 3, then it's a new socket

#

And Zen 2 > Zen 3 won't be a worthwhile upgrade

old marlin
#

How does x570 not have much life left

#

Wtf

zenith sonnet
#

Like I said, AM4 is EOL in 2020

#

Zen 4 will most likelt be on a new socket

old marlin
#

It still is the most advanced consumer chipset

#

By far

zenith sonnet
#

That it is

old marlin
#

It won't loose all it's relevance over night

zenith sonnet
#

TR40 will probably be at least equal, though

old marlin
#

Ddr5 could be possible for consumers soon

#

Which would be the big change

zenith sonnet
#

With that in mind, TR40 might not be compatible with Zen 4 as well

#

Hmm...

#

Everything sucks

old marlin
#

Thwy can suppirt both

#

With one socket

zenith sonnet
#

I said might

old marlin
#

If they prepare it correctly

zenith sonnet
#

But yeah, can't really plan ahead for an upgrade to Zen 4 with what we have

old marlin
#

And there might be a Zen 3 refresh too

#

So gl waiting 3 years lol

zenith sonnet
#

Hmm, only if they don't get Zen 4 ready in time

#

Which I doubt

#

Given how they already boasted it being on track for 2021

old marlin
#

With intels current plan

#

We get a 10th gen

#

Which is a decacore 9th gen refresh

#

And 11th gen

#

Which apparently will be a refresh too

zenith sonnet
#

Refresh of a refresh of a refresh

old marlin
#

Intels plans after that aren't solid

#

If AMD can squeeze in Zen 3+ or smth they will

#

Well

#

Atm intel already refreshes skylake

#

From 2015

#

Every year

#

Atm AMD has market dominance

#

If they can keep it going for the next two years intel might be in a bad position

pale sigil
#

does it really tho?

#

is there any data on that?

zenith sonnet
#

Intel will be fine, they sell enough through their OEM channels

#

But enthusiast desktop they're like 20% nowadays

#

Mostly people who 'only buy intel because AMD bad'

#

Met them irl, too

#

Weird folk

old marlin
#

Mindfactory has public numbers

#

And intel is pushed back in the OEM market

#

Because they don't deliver

fair gull
#

i mean intel doesnt focus on desktop anymore anyway

#

their main "innovation focus" is server

#

and business

#

not consumer desktop

halcyon moss
#

@zenith sonnet you seem to be suffering from choice paralysis :p

ashen spindle
#

Yeah I don’t remember how many months ago he started looking at stuff and still doesn’t know what to get

old marlin
#

Oh, I knwo intel doesn't focus on desktop

#

they have bad delivery problems though

#

so much that HP only made AMD servers for a while

#

for high end tasks

ashen spindle
#

Yup putting 14nm fabs to 10 and 7 when the first one has delays isn’t great for making enough stuff, but it’s not like they can’t push it forward either and stay even longer on 14

old marlin
#

well

#

they still are comitted to 14nm

#

for at least 2 more years

#

they slooooowly shift into 10nm rn

#

but only in the notebook market for now

ashen spindle
#

Sure but even that’s a decent marketshare, also custom chip designs and IoT takes a lot that we don’t know much about

old marlin
#

yea

#

AMD isn't pushing intel in all markets

#

atm only cpus

zenith sonnet
#

@halcyon moss @ashen spindle It could all be over yet if the stuff went to market yet...

ashen spindle
#

You say that but even if threadripper is on market, we still wouldn’t know if next gen works on it lmao and since you are already thinking that far ahead something like that will always be the case

faint hatch
#

they said they would be incompatible with last gen

#

on treadripper

#

but im still waiting on 3e gen to drop so depending on the price i can go for a 3e gen set ip the preformance is far better

#

but i doubt in my use case that it would be so i probably will just get a 2e gen cpu and board

zenith sonnet
#

All anybody know is that AM4 will almost certainly not support Zen 4, while TR40 might or might not support Zen4

#

There's unfortunately still no prices on the TR platform

#

And it's not just TR that's missing from the market, the 3950X got delayed as well...

#

Maybe because of AGESA 1004

#

Maybe they wanna get it right this time

reef patrol
#

🤔

halcyon moss
#

What is a 3e gen? is that 3rd? but Dutch? :p

ashen spindle
#

Yes I said next gen not previous on tr40, also it’s more likely the delayed it because it makes more money if you sell it in an epyc cpu than 3950x and supply shortage

halcyon moss
#

just curious, wat are you doing with a threadripper?

reef patrol
#

Ripping phat thredz brah

zenith sonnet
#

I need to see how it performs, first

#

No idea if or what performance advantages it offers over Ryzen

pale sigil
pale sigil

#

This survey is huge

so when is the link getting shared then

halcyon moss
#

Thread ripper is probably going to be quite pricy though

pale sigil
#

in the payment section it just asks for paypal email to send funds to

#

lol

#

Lets see if this works 🤷

#

I used a throwaway email on my paypal.... this should be interesting

#

no personal data was asked for

#

lol

#

We will see

#

I lost nothing

#

gave nothing away

#

and.... some places saying its legit, site checks out and they did contact me on linkedin too

#

i have heard of this before, they were drawn to me via my AR app

#

Usually i just delete but hey

#

no harm in trying this time

#

Ssds have made ruggedized laptops pretty obselete for most applications

#

The features are now things like data protection (like erasing/destroying in the event of capture/loss), emp protection, etc

#

You can drop most laptops nowadays and they will work just fine, sans cracked screen

#

Like police dont need panasonic toughbooks lol

reef patrol
#

Gotta have something to bash a suspect's skull with.

halcyon moss
#

ppl treat hardware like shit though

latent mural
#

rugged laptops are more use in heavy industry or similar

#

it's a very niche market

#

and it costs accordingly, i.e. just like any other expenditure for a corporation

#

you also pay for the support, just like for any corporate product

#

you pay for it to "just work" and when it fails you pay for it to be fixed/replaced asap

#

i.e. that fancy shell is also heat resistance, oil resistance, dust restitance

#

and you need those

#

particularly the heat and oil

old marlin
#

is it resistant to corrosive enviroments though?

latent mural
#

the thick plastic would be enough im sure

old marlin
#

oh

#

not the plastic

#

but the internals

#

we actually had 2 servers die to it

latent mural
#

no, you cant drop the device into a tub of descaling acid

old marlin
#

well yea obv

latent mural
#

but the device will survive a spill

old marlin
#

I meant corrosive air

latent mural
#

cant say that about other laptops

old marlin
#

I was serious about having to servers die due to it

latent mural
#

theres no way to protect it

#

youd need a sacrificial anode, on everything

#

or just inside and sorta hope it works

old marlin
#

thick coating on the pcb

#

that stuff exists

latent mural
#

only place it matters is the contacts

#

and you cant coat that

old marlin
#

outside contacts honestly don't matter much

latent mural
#

open contacts like

#

the cpu/pcie slot

old marlin
#

oh yea

#

well, once it is set up I don't really care

reef patrol
#

Linus did a video recently on the niche machines. And Alex? Reviewed one a while back I think.

old marlin
#

linus had a rugged laptop, ye

#

and they had a tablet like a year or two ago

reef patrol
#

I saw that!

old marlin
#

lol

reef patrol
#

😂

old marlin
#

no banhammer emote

#

rip

#

🍌

#

I guess this will do

reef patrol
latent mural
#

what could linus possibly understand about the needs of heavy industry

old marlin
#

well

#

heavy industry can be different

#

we ahve a ton of acids etv

#

so the air can be pretty corrossive

#

others have metal dust

#

gl protecting against that

#

we have a couple sorting machines

reef patrol
old marlin
#

the pcs are disgusting

#

since you basically can't filter that fine metal dust

latent mural
#

i wonder if a sacrificial anode would work (also open contacts made of pure gold)

old marlin
#

well

#

yea

latent mural
#

for corosion

#

you need to bind it to the ground of the motheboard

old marlin
#

if you put one on every single trace that isn't connected to anything else

halcyon moss
#

plasticwrap it

old marlin
#

in theory HDD platters could serve as one lol

latent mural
#

if you rip that decompression foil off

old marlin
#

ehhm

#

hdd have normal atmosphere inside

#

that is essential to the operation

#

for non helium drives

#

otherwise the head would scrape on the platter

latent mural
#

it's been a while since i dissembled an hdd

old marlin
#

it was like that since forever

#

that is why they have a hole on the m that you aren't allowed to cover

#

they often have a membrane under that to prevent liquid damage

latent mural
#

yeah that

#

foil membrane

old marlin
#

@fair gull did you pay your google cloud with a credit card?

fair gull
#

nope

#

gsuite is setup with bank account for me

#

and i found out

#

if the trial ends for you 10€ gsuite business

#

u can suspend the subscription

#

and if u had shared drives AND added a gmail account to them thats not in the gsuite organization

old marlin
#

cause my brotehr was wondering hwo he could pay it

#

sicne credit cards in germany are uncommon

fair gull
#

u can still access the drives and create shit on them

#

free unlimited storage

old marlin
#

wtf

#

so you just start a trial and then suspend it?

fair gull
#

when the trial is over

#

altho we arent sure if the suspension can be done indefinetly

#

support said they wont delete it

#

but you cant be too sure

#

even then 10€ a month isnt bad

#

for unlimited shared drives and unlimited cloud storage

#

and the other bonuses of gsuite accounts

#

like managed android devices etc

old marlin
#

I ma starting to think

#

might get a xeon phi for blender lol

ashen spindle
#

That helps? Is blender able to use avx512 a lot?

old marlin
#

apparently it works

#

a 7110 apparently is still quite a bit faster than a 2990wx

#

atm have a rendering server at work

#

in proxmox

#

with 40c

#

gonna hopefully get 80

#

not fast ones though

#

the 40c are ~3 times faster than my r5 1600 at 3.8 ghz

#

well

#

if ohis work

#

i'll get myself a server with like 4 of them

#

roommate would also have interest in that kinda compute power

ya they got a call from microsoft tech support

#

for removing viruses from their pc

old marlin
#

pastebin is blocked at work for me

#

still thinking how I can make a cheap af xeon phi rendering station etc

#

probably get an old hp z800

#

and throw the cards in there

#

got a better idea?

#

z820 might actually be better for that use case

easy fix dont use linux

windows sucks

fair gull

apparently not as much as linux

apparently?

fair gull

yes it doesnt need to build shit for it to update

wheat plume

I am installing a different version of kwin

anything from the AUR needs to be built on the PC

fair gull

see

#

if i switch to windows shitsiders i dont need to build anything either

wheat plume

if you use the normal repo it doesnt

@thick elk its decent

#

gaming isn't that bad now

just use Lutrus or Steam

latent mural
#

anyone's got a good study material for c#? i can do c and lua

ashen spindle
#

also ReSharper as a tool is amazing to learn more, but not right when you are beginning

#

do you just want to learn it in general or do you already have usecases in mind?

#

finding something more specific is often easier, eg. unity or wpf

latent mural
#

making basic, windows only applications that sometimes communicate with low level and C stuff

#

with basic windows interfaces

ashen spindle
latent mural
#

thanks

ashen spindle
#

you can just drag objects via the toolbox in VS and dont touch xaml otherwise and just do the rest via c# if you want minimal wpf work

latent mural
#

ooh neat

ashen spindle
#

only know c++ as other c language so I cant directly tell you what to look out for

#

Properties for exposing stuff to other classes comes to mind, and LINQ if you work a lot with a lot of data, because it saves a lot of for loops and such

latent mural

oh and dont trust people who use "var" in c#

NGL, i really want a 1tb microsd card or two.

#

i literally have no use for it other than maybe the Switch but it's like bragging rights

#

like 'Oh your phone has 128gb of storage? My sd card holds a terabyte.'

zenith sonnet
#

Does your phone support that?

chrome estuary
#

most phones support up to 2tb

#

Phones have supported that for fuckin a long time, ever since SDXC was an avaliable format

#

and i'm feckin amazed at the massive drops in price for these things. It seems everytime I turn around they're even cheaper. 512 is now ~90$. 128GB is only like ~20$. I remember my stepdad buying my 128gb microsd for my phone way back when and it was nearly 100$

Jesus tucking Christ, a developer for a theme I use is a little bitch

why even made your stuff public is thats the case

pale sigil

Everyone someone even posts a tiny bit of code he disables it for thousands of people

#

Every single fucking time

#

And stars going on a crying rant

#

He’s just wiped everyone’s theme out etc because I pasted a paste bin for support, he made it private on gitlab and invite only

oof

pale sigil

@wheat plume

#

Done with thst theme anway

#

Every few weeks he has a tantrum

And disables the theme for everyone

safe patrol
#

So.... I should mirror the repo and self-host? x3

pale sigil

I guess so ye

#

But it'll break each discord update

safe patrol
#

well if its open source it can be fixt

pale sigil
#

Effort tho s

safe patrol
#

hand to forehead

#

who the hell thought that this was okay for a "dark" theme...

zenith sonnet
#

Yup

#

Monitors have needed firmware since forever

#

What's odd about it getting updates?

old marlin
#

Well moderm monitors are getting more and more feature rich

#

And you can update over hdmi and dp since forever iirc

#

Although mosy monitos support some kind of usb connection nowadays

zenith sonnet
#

USB is preferred usually

#

And I dunno what it added or fixed, couldn't find patch notes

chrome estuary
#

so I'm looking into going for an ultrawide monitor.
My choices are the Viotek GN34CW or the Viotek GNV34DB

Both are 34" 3440x1440 100hz ultrawides.
The DB is a 1500R curve where as the CW is 1800R
DB has 99% sRGB and 85% NTSC where as the CW is 115% sRGB and 85% NTSC
The price is like 20$ difference

feral jolt
#

my ultrawide has a 1900r curve and its not enough

#

i'd have to see the 1500r in person but i'd probably want that

feral jolt
#

i dont know but 1900r is about half an inch of z axis change from the center to the edge

glad scroll
#

@digital cliff 1900 apperently means 1.9m, the maximum viewing distance before you lose the advantage a curved monitor gives you?

#

Mhm

zenith sonnet
#

3900X is trading blows with the 10980XE

ashen spindle
#

very confused that there are no 9980xe values

chrome estuary
#

god hot damn

#

what numbers

#

i9-10980XE

zenith sonnet
#

@ashen spindle Because other than the turboboost and the DL instructionset, it's literally the same

ashen spindle
#

hardware mitigations

zenith sonnet
#

All those benchmarks are done without mitigations to begin with...

ashen spindle
#

which is stupid...

zenith sonnet
#

Otherwise they'd have to turn off HT for a lot of SKUs

ashen spindle
#

?? I mean mitigations in the newest drivers and windows updates

zenith sonnet
#

Which is an official mitigation published by intel...

#

Well, yeah, reviewers tend to avoid those

ashen spindle
#

uhhh no not really?

#

especially not since more attention came to it

#

either way, not putting a 9980 or 7980xe on the same chart makes no sense

zenith sonnet
#

Maybe they didn't have one? Those things are expensive

ashen spindle
#

then add extrapolated ones if they have a lower sku or from a different review and just mark that as such a thing

zenith sonnet
#

We'll get more reviews soon, but those numbers look pretty legit

ashen spindle
#

then again its a site that didn't care for NDA so not really something to care too much about

zenith sonnet
#

Still a leak, though

#

Still
It's barely faster than a mainstream CPU with 1/3rd less cores and half the price

#

And it's their flagship HEDT part

ashen spindle
#

the cinebench score for the 9980xe is usually 3% higher (around 300 points) than that of the 10980xe there, so it's fairly likely that something is missing in the leaks @zenith sonnet

feral jolt
#

every time i see the 10th gen intel naming scheme i just

ashen spindle
#

okay as much as I see its a bit complicated, what else do people want?

#

roll over? hard to do the first core series parts are still in use

warped dove
#

hexadecimal : D

ashen spindle
#

change name? to what? need a completely new naming scheme that would only mean you now need to know two sets of numbers to describe intel cpus by name

warped dove
#

I upgraded from a Q6700 to a 6700K

#

They're like 10 years apart

feral jolt
#

i dont see why they wouldnt simplify it in some way

#

the laptop ones are particularly boggling

warped dove
#

Bro have you seen the SoC ecosystem?

ashen spindle
#

if you got a better system let me know, since I cant think of one for the mainstrea/highend platform that would make sense

warped dove
#

Qualcomm cleaned up their naming and it's still insane

#

Now with more RISC processors coming to mobile and laptops you just have to think like a computer, not look for patterns, or stop caring

feral jolt
#

i couldnt think of a worse naming scheme tbh

ashen spindle
#

then it should be easy for you to think up a better one

warped dove
#

I'm just confused that I've seen some people calling it 11th gen and some people calling it 10th gen - ice lake

#

mean while comet lake is coming out at about the same time

ashen spindle
#

I have not seen anyone call it 11th gen

warped dove
#

me neither until a couple days ago

#

I just rather hear the architecture code names tho

#

because people have been calling comet lake 10th gen but it's just another skylake re-use without all the same amenities of ice lake (I've been looking for a new dev laptop)

ashen spindle
#

intel mixing up multiple uArchs in mobile chips all as i10- chips is a mess, but that's a different point since they are abusing their own system, the numeric names work otherwise and make it extremely easy to get a lot of data about any chip in the Core series, aside from certain exceptions in the middle

subsequent generations name schemes are gonna be... curious

#

with their claims to new amazing iGPUs

#

I'm predicting i7-11750g9

ashen spindle
#

my guess is that with a good performing 10nm+ chip or 7nm if 10nm+ isn't that great they might change the branding of the core series

#

since that's where they start with raja's uArchs and the decoupeling of uArchs and process nodes

safe patrol
#

Make the model #'s like a MAC address
Series:uArch:generation:ghz

#

Then add a character for power consumption

#

H/M/L

#

Done :)

Of course it's really fast on a motorway but dogshit slow everywhere I actually nerd it

but will this actually do anything?

Oh jesus, playing outerworlds and my gpu is at 71c

i mean your character being silent

lol

reef patrol

It might actually do something, @pale sigil

Corporations tend to follow the path of least resistance - Aka. If a single state passes this, others might/will fold, and it will honestly be easier for Apple and the likes to just treat all states as the ones with the most consumer friendly rules to minimize costs.

#

You're in Stockholm? It's a great city.

I can recommend the Photography musem, if you're into gorgeous nature shots and such.

Lot of awesome cafés as well here and there - There's a viking style restaurant with long tables and live music. Just gotta reserve ahead.

ashen spindle
#

71 on your gpu seems normal? means it boosting nice and giving you high framerates?

zenith sonnet
#

For an aircooled GPU that's golden

zenith sonnet
#

Weird

#

Graphics driver crashed, but recovered

#

GPU would stay at 570 Mhz though

#

Wanted to reboot

#

Then got a BSOD

pale sigil
#

im not used to that range tbh

#

and since capping my fps its at 45-50c

ashen spindle

mine is at 80c when I push for fps

Can someone explain to me the buzz about doby atmos

ashen spindle
#

adobe atmos?

#

you mean dolby atmos?

pale sigil
#

oops

#

ye i brain farted then

#

lol

zenith sonnet
#

Urgh, what the hell
Witcher keeps crashing now
No idea why ._.

#

Just plain CTD

ashen spindle
#

spatial sound, almost unlimited sound tracks and such, dunno specifics about it

pale sigil
#

guess you'd need compatible headphones to really take advantage of it

ashen spindle
#

its more for cinema and speakers, dont think headphones are really a target

pale sigil
#

ohh

#

i had to switch to movie etc

#

and i can hear the difference

ashen spindle
#

so you just used the app and stuff sounds better or what?

pale sigil
#

movie wise it has more a kick

#

and surround sound feel

ashen spindle
#

ah so for supported stuff? so I can ignore it

pale sigil
#

no? i use m50xs

ashen spindle
#

no I meant, the movies needs to have it, aka games who dont support it wont sound different

crimson wigeon
#

Probably, but it also does 7.1 virtual surround

#

So if your game is bad at mixing down to stereo it might give you better results

pale sigil
#

ive always wanted surround sound lol

sick creek
#

Yeah dolby atmos is encoded into the audio track

#

Much like how dts works

#

However dolby atmos for headphones is basically just software mixing for positional audio

#

Dolby atmos on hardware that supports it is different tho. You have upward firing speakers to create a better soundfield

#

That’s basically all that sets atmos apart from regular 5.1/7.1.

#

Most of you are probably too young to remember the zalman 5.1 headphones lol

#

They actually had front, surround, and center jacks lul

old marlin
#

@pale sigil dolby atmos was oroginal about spatial sound with over 200 possible speakers, can be adapted to headphones quite well though

#

And works with any headphones

#

The games/movies have to support it though

zenith sonnet
#

Is any of that good? Should I just keep them off?

old marlin
#

Spatial sound is good

reef patrol
feral jolt
#

I use the windows sonic spatial sound for shooters

That doesn't look good @reef patrol

reef patrol
#

Replacing the pump just to be sure. Leak seems to be in the pump itself, not a fitting.

reef patrol
zenith mirage
#

That's what spooks me about water cooling

#

Something could start leaking and I wouldn't notice for ages

ashen spindle
#

Eh, cpu won’t ever get hit if it leaks and if you have a backplate on your gpu that also won’t cause a short, so no really risk there either

reef patrol
#

Coolant could leak into the GPU itself though

ashen spindle
#

Mh yeah I guess that’s true

#

But usually the cooler is below the card like on your pic, so less likely to leak into the gpu rather than just below it

#

But you’re right I didn’t think about that option

reef patrol
#

It all depends on where the leak occurs. Any fitting can be a leak. If the CPU block leaks, it drops down onto the GPU and inside of it worst case. Everywhere else is pretty safe in case of a leak in my loop.

#

It'll just leak onto the bottom and through the case.

ashen spindle
#

Yes which is why I mentioned a backplate, then it’s mostly dripping to the side and worst case just shorts something on the pcie connector which is kinda harmless

reef patrol
#

Backplate won't help. The thing about water is that it doesn't fall straight down from an edge. If there's a gap beneath, it will go inside of that slightly.

ashen spindle
#

my though is, that it wont drop right onto the back where capacitors for the chip are, so even worst case it's repairable damage

reef patrol
#

It's going to hit PCB and components on most cards.

#

It's going to touch parts if liquids drops in the area here.

ashen spindle
#

true

#

but again, even worst case it shouldn't come in contact with the chip or the backside of where the chip is right?

reef patrol
#

It's still going to fry the board to the point of not being worth trying to save. Very rare case but it could happen.

ashen spindle
#

hrm yeah probably, depends on what the pcb layout is

#

either way, there is a risk but it's usually fairly small

#

definitely gonna consider a nice loop for my next pc sometime next year or in two

safe patrol
#

Coolant is just glycol right? I don't think that will wreck anything

reef patrol
#

You're thinking of AIOs.

#

Loop coolant is basically just water and some biocide. Colouring.

Glycol is used in AIOs so they can mix metals 😄

feral jolt
#

is it possible to use distilled water as coolant?

#

0 dissolved solids = 0 conductivity

pale sigil
#

use saliva

#

Kappa

#

or gamer girl water

feral jolt
#

0 conductivity cant short components

ashen spindle
#

Doesn’t really matter because once it leaks the water will get contaminated

#

discord links broken again?

pale sigil
#

if youtu.be is on the link it wont show the thumbnail

ashen spindle
#

urgh thats dumb

pale sigil
#

aye

#

You oppened someone elses short link

ashen spindle
#

then why does it work when you post it

pale sigil

so the link is like a referal link

Been deciding a new case for 2 years now 😓

plush summit
#

idk

#

you could try and inwin

#

how about a card board box

timid chasm
#

is x570 the out of the box chipset for ryzen 3rd gen

chrome estuary
#

x470/x570

#

any am4 works

timid chasm
#

not works

#

out of the box no bios update

chrome estuary
#

hmm

#

then i guess x570

safe patrol
#

Lian Li usually has minimalist

#

Ooo a wooden one

old marlin
#

Actually most b450/x470 come delivered with the bios update

sick creek
#

Also any board with bios flashback will work

#

Like the kind where you can put the bios on a flash drive, plug into special usb port and it flashes it

feral jolt
#

Can you run zen 2 on a board meant for ryzen 1xxx?

sick creek
#

B450 is the minimum afaik

#

Ok nvm, apparently a b350/x370 would work IF it got a bios update

#

But that’s a big if

#

So its up to the manufacturer

feral jolt
#

Dont think they are much cheaper anyway so I guess a lucky few were able to upgrade from 1xxx to 3xxx without a new mobo

old marlin
#

some x370 and b350 boards work

#

but you have to look on the support list

reef patrol
#

It "should" work on all boards in theory, but you'll lose support for first generation Ryzen as a result of the bios update beforehand.

old marlin
#

iirc it should only be bristol ridge

#

which looses support

reef patrol
#

Either way. Read up on your specific board before doing anything 🙂

old marlin
#

with ryzen 1000 that is especially the case

halcyon moss
#

my b450 board came pre-flashed. It had a ryzen 3000 sticker on it.

fair gull
#

just flash it back

#

lol

wheat plume
#

They have the Bose frames in this shop

#

Those sunglasses with Bluetooth earphones built it

old marlin
#

@fair gull tbh if you use bristol ridge you might as well go AM3

#

MUCH cheaper to get

fair gull
#

dont know man

#

if i go amd next its prob a threadripper

old marlin
#

it just is rebadged old CPUs

fair gull
#

i go for core count

old marlin
#

I have been on ryzen for a while

#

pretty great imo

#

much more versatile

#

doesn't lag behind much in games

halcyon moss
#

@fair gull what do you need a threadripper for? always curious about this

crimson wigeon
#

Compiling obviously

old marlin
#

tbh

#

at that point

#

there are xeon phis

#

that excell at that

#

you can just slot it in your current pc

fair gull
#

@halcyon moss mainly hashcat

#

and vms

halcyon moss
#

aha

safe patrol
#

any hashcatting I do will be on a dedicated machine

#

I work in InfoSec

plush summit
#

i want to get a threadripper just because

#

my first enthusiast system

#

with threadriper

#

totaly not going to use hashcat with it

#

totaly not going to log wireshark captures and attemp to capture passwords for other networks

halcyon moss
#

probably mostly let it sit idle? 😉

safe patrol
#

clearly

#

especially if you dont use a laptop at [local coffee shop where folks do work] as a remote network sniffer

zenith sonnet
#

I wonder what the boost clocks of TR are going to be

just buy a pineapple

they check for legal documents and money

Should I install a beta version of this Android 10 ROM?Or use the stable Android 9 version?

#

True true

#

I'm getting sick of the look and feel of MIUI

#

Even though I love the features it adds

#

It feels so old and clunky except for the status bar and recents app screen

old marlin
#

my phone had a beta which borked the google safetynet

#

so better stay on android 9 until full release

maiden crater
#

Question, are all type c connectors on a mobo the same?

#

Like for front io

old marlin
#

?

#

wdym with the same

maiden crater
#

Can I jam a 3.1 gen 2 type c on a 3.2 gen 1 type c header

#

Yes, all these distinctions matter

fair gull
#

type c is the form

#

the rest is downward compatible from both sides

#

the same way u can plug a usb a 3.0 into a usb a 2.0

#

and vice versa

#

the same way you can use usb 3.0 c with the wooting 2 usb 2.0 c

old marlin
#

usually yo uwill get compatability

#

and just get to sue the highest shared standard

fair gull
#

ya sue that motherfucker

#

only doesnt work together if implemented poorly

maiden crater
#

Because I looked for like an hour for a good mobo with a usb type c header and it’s not the same as the case

old marlin
#

?

#

those are standardized

#

give pictures

#

sometimes angled

old marlin
#

insane price tbh

#

for the stuff you get

#

can't complain abotu my p30 so far though

pale sigil
#

considering i paid 270

#

aye

#

for the m9t

#

the price difference isn't much

#

at all

fair gull
#

sometimes also used for c and then extra stuff in the usb c end via extra pcb or smth

#

but thats the 2 headers youll find

ew pop out camera

reef patrol
pale sigil
#

i love the camera

#

leave it alone

old marlin
#

better solution than a noth imo

pale sigil
#

Yup

#

its the main reason i got it

#

either none or that

old marlin
#

although it basically removes water resistance atm

pale sigil
#

Ye

old marlin
#

can get solved though

#

the 9T is already pretty good at it iirc

#

so may not be a problem in the future

#

udnerscreen camera would still beat it though

pale sigil
#

i love my m9t

#

just not the fucking finger print

#

everyone else its instant

#

me? takes half an hour

old marlin
#

lol

pale sigil
#

no matter how much i delete the fingerprint and re do

fair gull
#

good that i dont have a notch

old marlin
#

even samsung calls it a notch

pale sigil
#

i hate notch's so much

reef patrol
#

I like the notch on my 7T a lot more than the idea of a popup

pale sigil
#

worst ever trend

reef patrol
#

But honestly... I wouldn't lose sleep over no selfie cam

pale sigil
#

i hate the 7t notch even more

#

lol

#

i never ever use my selfie cam

old marlin
#

same

fair gull
#

@old marlin no the s10 has a Punch Hole

old marlin
#

yea

#

samsung called that deisgn notch though

#

iirc

fair gull
#

dont care tbh mostly know it as punch hole

old marlin
#

still nto a huge fan

fair gull
#

and its less noticeable than a notch

old marlin
#

a notch doesn't bother me as much as I thought tbh

fair gull
#

like i dont notice it myself anymore

old marlin
#

same

#

only thing that still bothers me are the gestures

#

I liked the samsung ones a lot more than the huawei ones

fair gull
#

what gestures

pale sigil
#

its still a freaking notch

fair gull
#

not really

#

since the display can go round it

#

bigger fan of the samsung punch holes than the actual notches

#

especially hate pop out cameras

#

flimsy ass things popping out of a phone is never good

pale sigil
#

its not flimsy tho

fair gull
#

is it tho

old marlin
#

they aren't flimsy

pale sigil
#

its really not flimsy

old marlin
#

if you break one of them you might as well broke any otehr phone

pale sigil
#

its pretty damn strong

reef patrol
#

Never taking that chance. Also if it ever gets stuck or seeps liquid.

pale sigil
#

never ever in my life

#

had liquid on my phone

#

to the point it could break it

old marlin
#

well

#

like I said

#

liquid damage is the problem

#

although they basically solved that on the 9T

reef patrol
#

A phone should not have moving parts. Not since flip phones. Mechanics wear down and break - and it's one of those things that are never covered by warranty.

old marlin
#

it won't get stuck or break

#

like never

#

it is very solidly built

pale sigil
#

i never use it

#

so i dont care

#

lol

reef patrol
#

So you say. I don't see the reason to risk it in the first place.

old marlin
#

well your choice

#

I get the concern

#

but I honestly doubt that the motor will realistically fail

reef patrol
#

Indeed. And that's why I went 7T instead. I genuinely don't mind the notch as an alternative 😁

old marlin
#

underscreen camera would still easily beat it

pale sigil
#

oh ye

#

for sure

old marlin
#

and is entirely possible rn

pale sigil
#

but that will cost $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

reef patrol
#

True. That's probably going to be the long-term solution

old marlin
#

nahhh

#

not really

#

not much mroe complicated than an underscreen fingerprint reader

pale sigil
#

Sio ye

#

Amazon offered refund vs repair

#

gonna do that and rebuy the pro

#

🤷

#

seems logical

fair gull
#

wont get stuck ever
some really fine sand in it
ruined

old marlin
#

why would anybody choose repair?

#

tbh

#

I doubt that sand will get in

#

if the gasket is done well enough

fair gull
#

have u seen filling sand for glues

old marlin
#

and won't get porous

fair gull
#

that shit is finer than fine

old marlin
#

well

#

small amount of play in the gears basically makes that a non issue

fair gull
#

or soapstone "dust"

pale sigil
#

Have to pay for delivery

#

which is weird

old marlin
#

which they probably have to make it dust resistant

fallow bison
#

What phone you gonna get instead Callum?

wasnt it a privacy issue?

Yeah I had a 1440p phone, now have a 1080p,dont really care

1080p on a good display is fine.

I think call recording would be nice to have
I can't remember shit from conversations an hour later, let alone a phone call

ah, mine still worked, but it was very purple when it wasnt super sunny

pale sigil

Should i just do a repair

#

on my m9t

i kinda feel bad idk why

halcyon moss

Too bad, because it was a competent camera (just low res) and the Zoe stuff was a couple of years ahead of apple and google
