my personal gaming pc is srs buisness 
bandwith I'd suspect, and increased latency
bandwith maybe, latency not really
if the distance is bigger, you still can't push beyond fixed speeds for light/electrons
same reason why we don't just get bigger L1 caches for example, which would make stuff much faster if you could just add more
ok I looked it up, thought backplane meant something else
so just a motherboard but with a pci socket for cpu basically or what is your idea here
oh hell yeah, going over a variable slot instead of having traces directly to ram and such? sounds like an easy way to lose performance
so basically a motherboard but the lower half is cut off
hm idk enough about electronics to know if that would introduce more bottlenecks or so
having a standard size for mobos should make it easier for putting stuff together though, also then cpu's would need support to not break from the cooler's weight or we need gpu coolers for gpus idk
seems like too much stuff to change for not too many benefits
i heard serious business

okay no you cant try it by using something like water as the standard
you cant try to make this the new thing instead of what we have but force watercooling
like it needs to make sense to completely replace it or else why bother if it only segments the market even further
Y'know, sometimes you just wanna use your PC to light something on fire and hold your drink. Oddware has you covered with the Thermaltake Xray from 2004! Providing a 12V DC lighter alongside a cupholder in a single five and a quarter inch computer case drive bay.

oh my god i want to buy a 2080ti but they're 1300$ after taxes and 236$/m if on payments
damn
It's possible to find deals on occasion
Not that anything is a great deal with a 2080ti
i bought One
F
well i own a 1080 but one of the ports is broken on it and my main monitor is a fairly decent 4k.
plus the payments thing is through amazon and I can pay it easily.
but that's a lot of fucking money
even if it's over 5 months
got a 1080 as well, I'm waiting for the 3000 series, most likely introduced at gtc in march
yeah and that's something else i wanna wait on
I kinda wanna buy nicer 4k since this is more of a business 4k.
Something like the Predator series or Nitro series perhaps
and here my 2080ti runs 2 24" 1080p monitors
Quite an upgrade 😄
i went from 970 to 2080 ti yeah it was a huge upgrade
why would one want a 1080ti over a 2080ti
price/perf
yeah it was a much better deal
cant really compare that imo
the whole rtx shit is barely taken advantage of rn
but the games that can use it
look brilliant
and run brilliant
yeah i dont play minecraft tho
what

the only game ive played so far that had ray tracing was metro exodus
i wasnt particularly impressed
metro is like the worst game i have seen implement rt
dont think I have a single game that supports it lel
yeah i did the $1 month of xbox game pass and then dropped the sub because it was shit
the only thing i know of that has an actual good RT implementation and a nice tech demo to go along with it
is bright memory
god damn windows update always changes my power settings
i thought my psu was dying and had a mini heart attack
laughs in Linux
I do kinda wish there was one settings file for literally every windows setting that you could generate and have it load it after an update
is there any OS that can do that?
welp
i only use templeos
wow xddd no networking ftw
god has his messangers
:PP you talk to them in that game

TBD
so hyped for this
created by one man studio
Based on a cherrypicked trailer? Sure.
The entire game? I remain doubtful 😄
"cherry picked trailer"
if u mean the game anyone can get for 5 bucks that has a nice hour or 2 of gameplay
yes
totally shit
def doesnt look like the trailers
It’s very possible
It's....not out?

its out
Was a dope af game
There ya go - Context helps 😛
Oh wait I think that’s it
I mean its the first thing you see on the steam page.. the early access thing
Shroud played it
No what I see is a bunch of chinese letters, an epilepsy inducing logo and an autoplay video 😄
That's as far as I got. Oh and "TBD"
It’s such a dope game
i sometimes still cant believe its made by 1 dude
i mean first trailer was 2017 or so
So all that time he’s focused on backend
he did pay an artist recently
to actually get modified assets of his
and some other shit
Either way it’s s superb game
yep i replayed it a few times
can u explain to me why u use linux and not windows?
because not everyone has an open bench with a fan as pc case
reference card? aib?
then ask zotac
not really, minimum fan speed set to 45% of max is making perfect sense
in terms of definiton
if you want less you turn the fan off, if you want to run the fan the lowest speed is apparently set to 45% of max rpm
thats how it sounds like yes

I sense approval ☺️
Oh yes. 😄
So based off some calc and monitoring I use roughly £12 a week just for 90% if my room 😒
ouch
Wow our rate is higher than I thought
This just can’t be right
This just doesn’t add up
If I base my electric usage in this I should be using around £2.45 a week
And we get charged £1.90 a week set payment
Rounding it up I should be using £10/month
Wow
But for some reason we are constantly topping up our meter
We have an old meter you use a key with
That's weirdly low
But it depends on what appliances you run, I guess
2.2 KWh a day is next to nothing
Thing is @zenith sonnet we are constantly spending £10-20 topping the meter up
Like j just put £5 on
And we used 20 quid in 2 days
Or 3 can’t remember exactly
@zenith sonnet that 2.2kwh is just my room
Computer, monitors, router, switch, lamp, charger
That's not much, then
Your stuff is weird
actually more like 3 a day
Why do you have to top up power meters?
We just get billed at the end of thr year for what we used
it's shite
only got one coz the last people never paid their bills
so now we're stuck with it
This is why I’m saying it’s weird
Our last bill the entire year was like £900+
My total usage since June last year
@zenith mirage what’s your rate
no idea tbh
Well, you got no high power appliances, and probably do not much heavy gaming
Do you have a meter?
Your power is so cheap...
It doesn’t add up we are topping up constantly
Yet so little is power usage
Well
I’ve just always grown up with us having it
20 / 0.175 = 114 KWh
Well, that really is a lot for two days
That's approximately 2400W average
Maybe someone has been running a space heater the whole time?
last billing period we used 2.207kWh
If you're still not taking advantage of free upgrade to 10 at this point, I don't know what to day 😄
Take that to a local shop and top it up
'stop providing support'
Who uses Microsoft support anyway?
Security updates
There will still be critical security updates
now i just need to figure out what a billing period is.. :p
When I’m gaming I usually use 230-300w
oh, seems to be the last year
Nothing changes, everyone will just keep using it :p
It’s stilly to use windows 7
@pale sigil Has someone been running a space heater or similar appliance the whole time? Dehumidifier? Power tool?
Neither uses that much power
@pale sigil what happens if you press the blue button on the meter?
I'm sure it's nothing bad, I've just never done it
Also I'm pretty sure the rates on these prepaid meters are trash
We're on 17.42 pence per kWh apparently
Free bitcoin mining
tmw u read about win7 support ending
tmw u check ur service queue and theres like at least 50 planned upgrades next week
makes me wanna quit
cause everyone comes to us and is like "we cant work with it" and so on
change job? 😄
and when we are like "it just means no more updates except critical security patches"
they are like "what do you know... ure not microsoft"
sadly doesnt work
theyd call
or email us
or talk to us when we are not working
like in the store etc
ehh make them call microsoft, how is it your issue
because we provide it support
u dont call ur car manufacturer either if its not working
rip
Can I make a living building custom watercooled computers? 🤔
possibly
if you can market yourself
problem is getting customers
well ultimately its up to how well you can market yourself
can you convince everyone they need water cooled pc's?
and can you convince them that they should pay you extra to do it?
@zenith mirage you're on a lesser rate than me by 0.022 lol
bleh
Im a little upset
but
we have been working to mitigate windows 7 in our org for the past year
so we are down to probably less than 5% windows 7
@zenith sonnet from my experience id say no
unless u do international
which becomes a real pain in the butt
Germany is big enough a market
just on watercooling? no
Just the question, whether or not I would get customers and if they're willing to pay
Watercooling is comparatively big here
u said just on watercooling and i can tell u no
Just custom builds?
custom builds in general yes
One of our three big etailers is based around watercooling
lije i get tons of requests for watercooling
but not custom loops
just aio
and u def cant really live just of that
Upsell them, lol
theres only so much theyd pay more
like i have worked in pc retail for 5 years now and on parts alone u wont be able to live and they wouldnt even pay much for putting it in
the people that want that wpuld usually say "i could just look on yt then so just sell me the aio" or "its cheaper on amazon/conrad/whereever"
i barely make profit of coolers i bought in bulk
Lol, that's harsh
thats the reality of any store selling smth thats noot food
same pc building is just one of our services
we mainly do it support
i can't see how that would be enjoyable to do all the time
i hate swapping components in my pc
Same, lol
literally the worst way to lose time

Your youtube history must be a strange place @fair gull
need to open this one my phone welp one sec
i rarely logged into YouTube
ahh
does android stop you getting security patches if all your apps arent fully updated?
cause I am not getting the january patch
and my phone thinks its a pixel 4 so it should be
that image isnt loading
thank discord
open it in browser
high res scrolling cap
thanks sharex for having that feature
my wifi is too busy struggling to load a 22 minute long video in 1080p60fps
ooooof
i really wanna run that docs macros
better make a vm snapshot first tho
so win10 doesnt do 128mb of ram
but 256
everything just takes 200years to open
i think this word doc is actually borked
hmmmm
no clue what the crap this is supposed to do
and a huge macro list
Sub n()
End Sub
woops
what language is that?
VBA
vb?
yes and no
ya VBA
tbh that shit scares me
I will do powershell scripting and batch scripting
but never have I tried doing vba shit in excel
Ive had to use it in outlook
when I needed to do stuff to excel I used python
does nodejs have good libs for excel?
eh
I can use it
but it has fallen from my favor ever since I learned more logically structured languages
I much prefer langs that use physical character syntax like brackets to designate logical structure
if (files.length) {
debugMessage(`Files in ${folder.name}:`);
const columns = [
{ width: 93, name: 'Name' },
{ width: 20, name: 'Date updated' },

{ width: 38, name: 'Hash' },
{ width: 15, name: 'URL' },
]
for (let entry in columns) {
entry = Number(entry);
sheet.column(entry + 1).setWidth(columns[entry].width);
sheet.cell(1, entry + 1).string(columns[entry].name);
}
sheet.row(1).freeze();
let i = 2;
for (const file of files) {
debugMessage(`${file.name} (${file.id})`);
const extension = path.extname(file.name);
if (!['.nsp', '.nsz', '.xci'].includes(extension)) continue;

i++;
}
} else {
console.log('No files found.');
}
over the stupid python tab system
Python would prefer if you used 4 spaces tho
which is generally inserted by tabs on most ides
Gimma an idea what to do with 2 thermistor cables?
eat them

The audio is pretty bad but i have to admit.... the delay is insanely low
Well I think spatial sound would be really important for br
Today is the day, my friends, the final day for Windows 7. It's long journey have finally come to an end 
@old marlin That's insanely cheap
Even if it's not that great, still a good deal
Personally I'd spend 20€ more and get an AData XPG, though
Depends on your use, really
I wouldn't store music or videos on an SSD
And it's space for plenty of games
And if you don't game, you'll 'never' fill it up
if you game most aaa games are going to 100gb these days
and yet here i am.. playing graveyard keeper on my 3700x with 5700xt :p
I have just a 512gb drive rn
it is only limiting because mhw got an update which made it almost 80gb
My 1TB drive is almost full :/
i need an hdd for my gameplay clips
you need salad state
My work needs a bigger nas
smh
tired
cant get my fekkin acronyms right
we presently have one with like 30 tb, raid 5 or 6 so we get about 20 or less
personally I would love 10tb nas
I have about 1 tb of shit to back up
and then I will likely do consolidation backups
not to mention the shit I would love to have a copy of in the cloud
so my present data foot print is probably ~2-3 tb
and it will grow a lot more since im saving more shit these days
am I a bit crazy for wanting this much storage?
probably
but dammit I want it
i just use google drive
1TB of data to backup? videos or something?
music making shit
- historic game backups
I have several kerbal space backups
for pre aquisition kerbal space program
with some historical config shit and projects
I dont like google that much
Holy crap
Edge is so much faster now
eh idc 10bucks a month for unlimited storage is unbeatable
The old Win10 installation is just keeping on running, lol
Been using Edge Beta for a couple months now
God damn it
Ryzen is so snappy
Holy crap
Ever felt like letters lagged behind when you typed?
No?
the real question is if its actually ryzen that made the difference or that u just got a new cpu
Feels like they did on the old rig
not for me
Maybe all the security patches degraded the experience of the 5820K
It's not like it was too slow for discord or edge
lol 5820k
But Ryzen is noticeably quicker
Right click menu on the desktop? Quicker now
Folder opening? Quicker
Downloading? Quicker
Speedtest.net? Better results...
Still need to do a clean install, though
Was the 3700X 4.4GHz?
Seems like I got plenty of good cores
GPU temp when idle: 27°C junction. Awesome
@fair gull 4790 with all security patches is slower than some FX CPUs in MC apparently
we talking intel 4790?
yea
I loved that processor
my first desktop had that processor
I overclocked it about 8%
bleh
dots
workin on em
gonna make nice readme
oh wups
wrong discord group

well that was supposed to go to a linux group
bit tired today
Fite me
I mean you knew what I was talking about
so
why did it need clarification
so you could feel right?
ackshually if you're one of those programmer nerds you would call them guilds ackshually
ur good, im being salty for no reason myself
furry confirmed
we already knew mage was a furry

I... I have no idea.
Same
...

It's odd and it's scary
wonderful
time to burn everyone and resume to talk about tech, though I dont think anything interresting in hardware space will happen till gtc, aside form 3990x launch next month
why does my microwave sometimes turn on by itself
pff
This chat wasn't about either tech nor hardware for a bit.
no its also about xeanoa's pc that he's never building bc he waits for better parts
Speed stripes.
speed stripes would make it go faster
Also flame decals.
Whatever happened to regular darrell
perfect
and fuck spelling
cause too many chars
/giphy Tayko
wups
meant to do nick
fek im tired today
hands are just defaulting to usual commands
and I guess bat works
my job rn
f.lux
flux ftw
ya makes all screenshots look aids
does not work with displaylink
ftw indeed
you can turn it off quickly if you really need clean screenshot
and I really care more about my eyes than the color in screenshots
same
at least it is better than what my coworker does
his apps have this stupid darkness filter
that just darkens shit
@ashen spindle uk that win10 has a blue light filter itself right?
makes it almost impossible to read anything he screenshots
that goes all the way to hellscape
as I said builtin bluelight filter does not work with my displaylink drivers
I had flux installed and it means I dont run the risk I need to change it after windows updates
so no point in changing it to windows' solution
heh

You sometimes need colors.
I just like my eyes not hurting after a day of work
Graphics designing is so much easier with colors.
@foggy solstice guess im lucky to not work in that branch right?
not that normal monitors show the actual color anyway
It's just an example, there are others.
my profession luckily doesnt need accurate colors
u can sadly
I have some that I have had to
although what really hurts me
are people who make me walk to their office
to press a single button
My printer does not work!
turns it on for them
yes
My title is officially IT Help Desk
but I am basically the Sysadmin/Business Analyst/Help Desk/It Everything
It is.
They just missed it.
like dos and donts
well also note these are construction workers
so
40's mostly
a lot of these people started their jobs with pen and paper
so if i become a construction worker now im mostly 40
Blue light filters aren't all that great either
I hate them
to not causing me a headache and making looking at my screens a pleasant experience
I can't deal with the colours being so far off
i imagine mages screens being pure red and burning themselves into his soul
Some people choose to use the light theme.
Hours, and it still feels off?

Sometimes these people are in charge of UI design.
like i got so used to it that wihtout bluelight filter looks off
I wish these people weren't.
I stare at windows 2012 servers all day
bright white interfaces and shit
is wonderful
thank you bluelight filter
so buy a crt?
LCDs sound like racists.
Due to my astigmatism I have issues with light text on black
Light on medium gray works, though
they are not pointless
Just imagine every letter bleeding colour
The background needs to be bright enough to mask it
i hate white text on black
I have no issues with night driving
windows night light saves me tho
I cant see very well at night
because lights glow like freaking beacons spreading massive light everywhere
mostly creates giant shafts of light that go all the way to the bottom of my vission
@dapper ridge btw to quickly chime in on the unlimited gdrive ```
rclone size games:
Total objects: 244252
Total size: 134.698 TBytes (148102145367791 Bytes)
holy fucking shit
thats the top drive
out of all the ones i have
so i dont have to worry about not finding download links later on
and that is business right?
gsuite business?
@dapper ridge yes
encryption
@proud nacelle only if reported
i have collected all that shit over a year now
and nothing
well
this is business
not sure if they run scanners on business
I know they do on personal
I have had some of my stuff share locked due to copyright concern
i even got a cool organization logo
hence why I dont store anything in google drive
so ya i wont waste thousands of dollars/euros on drives to build a nice raid 6 or smth
if i can spend 10bucks on unlimited storage
and we do know u can technically use it as cold storage aswell
since u can suspend a business plan
which leaves the drives intact and accessible
just locks the business accounts
and according to their support they wont ever get deleted
I think box does
since u can technically always reactivate
and backblaze
so u could make 40 shared drives
add another account as manager
on all of them
and suspend the plan
in theory
at least
btw if anyone wants a copy of that games drive.... hit me up and add me to ur google shared drive 
i do have a gog folder
a lot of repacks
and pmuch all console games ever
except a few psx games
i borrow for an unspecified amount of time
and this is more archival
oof
Im trying to find a copy of nfs underground 2
i got 20
different langs
beta builds
physical copies for ps2 and pc
obviously isos of those aswell
best nfs
imo at least
that is the only one I ever enjoyed
my life now
turned up bluelight filter to save your eyes

I wanted orange, but it gave me lemon lime.
all nfs2 copies on the drive
and as i mentioned i own the game multiple times for ps2
cause
its a good game
^
now there is a cat size hole in the yard
:p
why archive anything
obviosuly for future generations
the hardware is lost at some point
its not made for eternity
sadly
yes
for me there is
i like video games
and i like the journey video games had
maybe not right now
like
animals arent all endangered rn either
I think all art should be preserved
doesnt mean we can just let them be killed for no reason
regardless of quality or message
^
like at some point
these games wont be able to be found anymore
i had a serious ahrd time finding a game i really like from my childhood
it is all part of the human spirit and an expression of the human condition in a way
one day i found someone like 100km away from me who owned a barely working copy
scratches all oiver and shit
i was so fucking happy
sure the english version is pmuch everywhere on the net
but i wanted the german one
so?
thats still not what was sold
1:1
no i wont
still doesnt make it the original
easy as that
why do we even make international releases lol
just let modders do it
only release in jp now
nowhere else
semantics are important in this case tho
why have a modified copy when you can have an original translated one
feels more valuable
not tarnished by another person
and i wish i could just go to smth like archive.org
or what it was called
the problem is
a shit ton of this
is copyright material still
exactly
tons of IP etc
if that wouldnt be a problem
id already have mailed them
@digital cliff thats why i offered
if someone wants a copy of this
and has gdrive business
dm me
copying them takes like 10mins
or so
no
if u want free games use pirate bay or some shit
some yes
some no
also a ton from other collections
i know
private collectors i met
they either exchanged me for music i had
or just marketing docs etc i had
since i own a ton of german crap
which they didnt have
like i met someone
who pmuch collected nintendo marketing material
u dont go anywhere
at some point a convo starts like this
u get a dm
u talk
and u just meet them then and there
urg
sorry to change topic a little but we have a guy who broke the first toughpad in our org
LOL
"hey kid u want some nice tunes"
prob shot it with a Tiger Panzerkampfwagen
shush
dont blow my cover
ive been found out
gonna delete this account
hf bois
knocked it over with this?
it was a toughpad
stupid service tech thing
they used to use ipads
I wanted to use toughbooks
well
thoughbooks would have been indestructible
yesir I know
I have to jump through hoops to get them anything
they want to save all this money
but want the best of the best
oh well
its broken
and now I have to replace the dam thing
with another 2.5k device
I dont have it yet
he just called me
ill have it within the hour tho
he apparently shattered the fuckin screen something bad
i know how to convinve highe rups to buy toughbooks
get them all in a meeting
bring a toughbook
lock the door
bash someones head in
and say if they dont approve they are next

ez
"Even after dealing with your underground business and killing someone with the toughbook body and blood all over it, it will still work fine"
it took us 2 years to convince them that cloud storage would be better than spending hundreds of thousands
in march
I will put in my 2 months
so the IT department can prepare
if I did 2 weeks it would collapse
i dont get it
and besides
I want to get out of this business
I hate IT
it is my least favorite thing
I want to be a programmer
It is the one thing I actually enjoy doing
software engineer*
yep
id rather not want to be a software engineer
there is not much else I want to do with my life
maybe kill myself later but for now I want to develop
for all the programming i do in my free time
and i do enjoy it most
i wouldnt want to get paid for it
its the shittiest job to get into
and the shittiest job once ure in
eh, if its getting Alzheimers or dying by my own hands at the age of 50, id take the latter any day
who says ud get alzheimers tho
im gonna die to something
maybe u just get old and die in ur sleep
and as I get older my Quality of Life will deplete
just a fact
I dont want to be old
I've known tons
that are really up there
I've watched them go from being incredibly healthy
riding bikes 20 miles a day
to limping down the halls
unable to lift a thing
yea can happen in a year
fuck that
or you might get a stroke like my grandpa
Im not a very positive person ngl
was working in the garden one day
sorry, I usually filter it
and then never recovered from it
also making your hobby your job isn't all that great
nothing makes me satisfied anymore
since you loose something to do as rehabilitation in your free time
so honestly I might just dig ditches the rest of my life
I disagree
modern technology is pretty much the root of all my depression, anxiety, and in general stress
Ever since the vibrator incident?
wha


Im fine
I know actual depressed people
u are depressed bro
a bit sure
I know
again sorry for getting dark there, just not very excited for what the future has to bring for me
get help
this is america
you think I can afford that shit
xD
im better off starving in a gutter
when is Nvidia's next card coming out?
well
tino
I love programming
creating
solving problems
it is my passion
but
I fear for what a job will do to it
but I have worked the last 10 years of my life towards that goal
and if I change my mind
I have devoted that time and effort to nothing
I think honestly no matter what I do
I will hate it
regardless
3 months ish and im gonna probably have a new job
ill try programming next
maybe I can find a position I enjoy
I do dread the hunt for a job tho
it starts in march
?
hi
oh ye

you should always have a hobby besides what you do at work
sorry @ashen spindle
I do wood work

Make Music
i also work my wood
play with lego obviously
do general art stuff
frisbee golf is one of my favorite outdoor activities
and I hop around with different hobbies
im tempted to get back into modeling again
its just
this job is killing me
and I want to program
NO
take ure time
