fair gull
#

but should it ever get worse

#

ill instantly get help

dapper ridge
#

last year I had a breakdown in college

#

this year I almost lost it during an all hands meeting

#

so I know I need help

fair gull
#

so get help

#

top priorety

#

no excuses

dapper ridge
#

bleh

#

I may

#

can we please change the topic

fair gull
#

are we human

#

or are we dancer

dapper ridge
#

Im curious about when Nvidia will release their new GPU's

fair gull
#

soon tm

dapper ridge
#

I currently have a 1080

fair gull
#

boo

dapper ridge
#

and decided it was not worth a 2080 super

#

primarily because the upgrade would not be significant enough

#

so I decided to hold off for next gen

fair gull
#

if u wanna do DNN yes

#

its worth it

dapper ridge
#

DNN?

fair gull
#

the 2080ti shoots the 1080ti out of the water big time

#

deep neural networks

#

basically AI programming

dapper ridge
#

well I Know that

#

this is for gaming

fair gull
#

i got a 2080ti specifically for DNN

#

well it can game

#

so i no complain

#

the gaming isnt super many better

#

but the ai is much many more better

dapper ridge
#

my primary use is to stay up to date for gaming

#

and I want raytracing

#

I just dont have the money to blow on an RTX for a minor upgrade in speed

fair gull
#

eh i could have done with a gtx960

#

but i wanted le AI for free time programming

#

out of the 5grand i spend on this pc the 1.4 for a big ass 2080ti was pmuch not much

dapper ridge
#

I just spent 1k to get maintenance on my car

fair gull
#

lucky for me i dont have a car

dapper ridge
#

I dont have any money to spend

#

you live in Germany? Austria?

fair gull
#

germany

dapper ridge
#

I have a friend in Austria who has one of those tiny electric cars

#

but it makes sense over there

fair gull
#

i dont have a car or bike

#

why would i

#

5minute walk to work

dapper ridge
#

public transport is better and things are closer from what I've heard

fair gull
#

so waste of money

dapper ridge
#

I drive about an hour to get to work

fair gull
#

that i can invest into shit im actually interested in

dapper ridge
#

my dream is to work from home

#

I find it unlikely

fair gull
#

make ur own software company lol

#

or become one of those programming youtubers

#

like codebullet and the codingtrain

dapper ridge
#

eh, I think ill just suck it up tbh

#

I mean honestly

#

I dont need things to be happy

fair gull
#

like i thought about making my own software related company

#

to basically make actual good ERP systems

dapper ridge
#

oh?

fair gull
#

and not ones that rely on java se 1.5

#

but

#

programming for money would ruin it

dapper ridge
#

isnt crm mostly javascript and C#

fair gull
#

id rather keep it as my most favorite activity

#

erp != crm

dapper ridge
#

coulda swore CRM was an ERP

fair gull
#

na erp is enterprise resource planning

#

aka

#

doing ur finance

dapper ridge
#

lol we kinda use CRM as an erp

fair gull
#

ur HR

#

etc

dapper ridge
#

oh nvmd

#

im rarted

#

lol

#

we use Dynamics SL

fair gull
#

crm is more like the marketing towards customers

#

so

dapper ridge
#

meant that not CRM

fair gull
#

keeping contact etc

dapper ridge
#

Dynamics SL is our ERP

fair gull
#

thats ERP

dapper ridge
#

we are moving to Criterion

fair gull
#

ya

dapper ridge
#

for HR

#

and not sure what Finance plans on doing

fair gull
#

most ERP shit i know uses java from 300years ago

#

same for medical devices

#

but ya as i said

#

id rather not do it as a paid thing as to not ruin it

dapper ridge
#

I can understand taht

#

honestly I got into programming by doing work for gmod server owners

#

so im used to being told what I need to do and then doing it to satisfy a "customer"

fair gull
#

i got into programming by having owned one of the biggest german gmod communities for 3 years

dapper ridge
#

ah nice

fair gull
#

but ultimately closing it down

#

since it got to be more work than a fun project

dapper ridge
#

Im still a co owner of the community I ended up programming for the most

#

but

fair gull
#

which is how it started

dapper ridge
#

I have not touched that in years

#

im basically a myth

#

some of the shit I made still being used and has my easter eggs in it still

fair gull
#

now i just make our kind of ERP for my workplace

#

which i coded in my free time

#

to test the waters basically

dapper ridge
#

brb, gotta deliver an assload of hardware to our shipping dept.

dapper ridge
#

I want to replace my work keyboard

#

it is starting to get on my nerves

wheat plume
#

everytime I use the keyboards in college I go to the bathroom to disinfect my hands

dapper ridge
#

well this is my keyboard

#

I own this one

#

its just

#

the space bar

wheat plume
#

o

dapper ridge
#

it keeps coming loose on the left ballancer thing

#

so spaces dont work

#

my current diy solution has been some clinex inside the spacer to make it a tighter fit

#

but it is annoying nonetheless

wheat plume
#

oh wow

dapper ridge
#

the main thing is I need the numpad

#

I type lots of numbers at work

#

so it is super handy

#

but all my spare keyboards are 60% or TKL

wheat plume
#

ahh, I have never used a TKL jeyboard apart from the one on this laptop

fair gull
#

so thats why u typed jeyboard

dapper ridge
#

eh

#

I like tkl for backpack size

#

although im currently running around with a ducky 60%

fair gull
#

i just fold my w2

zenith sonnet
#

Urgh
Windows is shitting on me

#

Won't activate

dapper ridge
#

is it an oem key?

#

like preinstalled

zenith sonnet
#

Legacy Win7 Ultimate key

#

Now Win 10 Pro

fair gull
#

tmw the it help desk does his job in discord

dapper ridge
#

emphasis on migt

fair gull
#

depends on where he enters it

#

in install it wont work

#

only works with internet when actually booted

dapper ridge
#

yeah if it is install it wont

#

post install tho

#

I had to write the program above tho

#

stupid hp labbytops were not activating post imaging

#

was causing lots of problems

#

only works with oem tho

#

just, save reaching out to MS last

#

they are

#

not the most helpful with licensing from what I've had the pleasure of experiencing

#

lol wat

#

fucking Microsoft

#

I was on hold with them regarding azure, they kept transferring me around, making me hold for 10 minutes, and then eventually just said, please submit a ticket and hung up

fair gull
#

why is that a powershell thing anyway

dapper ridge
#

you lookin at my script thing

zenith sonnet
#

I entered my key during installation
Now Windows tells me no key was found
They stupid?

fair gull
#

how does one enter a win7 key during install

#

literally doesnt work

#

for win10 that is

#

ya when u already have win10

#

and activate the 7 key

#

u can not enter a 7 key during install

dapper ridge
#

@fair gull if you are talking about that thing I wrote, literally all it does is grab the oem key and force enters it using commands

zenith sonnet
#

Well, it accepted the key during install

#

Not not any more now

dapper ridge
#

it was written in powershell because I needed a quick asap solution

#

support if I remember

#

I wrote that almost 2 years ago

#

lol dont use it then :p

fair gull
#
$Result = Get-WmiObject -Query "select OA3xOriginalProductKey from SoftwareLicensingService"
$LicenseKey = $Result.OA3xOriginalProductKey

slmgr.vbs -ipk $LicenseKey | Out-Null
dapper ridge
#

yesir

#

that is what it is

#

and then used ps2exe to make it an exe

#

ezpz

fair gull
dapper ridge
#

I needed it as an exe to add to our image so it would jsut run

fair gull
#

thats the entire code

dapper ridge
#

bootiful

zenith sonnet
#

Stupid question
I copied the System Drive before Wiping and reinstalling
How do I find the key inside?

dapper ridge
#

wat

fair gull
#

wot

dapper ridge
#

well it is if its oem

zenith sonnet
#

It's retail

dapper ridge
#

yeh

fair gull
#

so

dapper ridge
#

then it should be oem

#

run this in powershell

#
Get-WmiObject -Query "select OA3xOriginalProductKey from SoftwareLicensingService"```
#

that should get oem key

#

or there are lots of tools

#

that can find it

#

in your bios

fair gull
#

did u just copy from my copy of ur code

dapper ridge
#

I mean tons

#

lol yes

fair gull
#

smh

dapper ridge
#

since that is exactly what my code is

#

and I lost the source

fair gull
#

code ur own shit

#

jesus

dapper ridge
#

hey

#

hey now

fair gull
#

i mean i gave u the source

#

literally

dapper ridge
#

my pc got ransomwared

fair gull
#

did ur buttplug get encrypted?

dapper ridge
#

yes

#

yes it did

#

was sad

#

yesir

fair gull
#

thats kinda sad

dapper ridge
#

I was running a websrv from my pc

fair gull
#

for an it guy

dapper ridge
#

well

#

for one

#

it was not my fault really

fair gull
#

was it ur pc?

#

u had admin?

#

ur fault then

dapper ridge
#

but it was not my access rights that did it

#

it was my bosses

#

he is a domain admin and his acount got hacked

zenith sonnet
#

How's that supposed to work if I'm on the new machine?

dapper ridge
#

and it encrypted all network attached shit

#

and my pc at the time was serving a protected websrv socket for a display I ran

fair gull
#

@zenith sonnet dont u have the original key?

zenith sonnet
#

I should have it

dapper ridge
#

and so my computer got targeted

fair gull
#

like if its retail

zenith sonnet
#

Used Magic Jelly Bean to read it out, and I think it's the one I wrote down on paper somewhere years ago :p

fair gull
#

so find it

#

and retype it

#

done

zenith sonnet
#

It says not a valid key

dapper ridge
#

urg

#

might have to

#

submit and either find a free key

#

buy one

#

or call microsoft

fair gull
#

did u ever check if ur key is actually legit

zenith sonnet
#

It is

fair gull
#

type there

zenith sonnet
#

Bought it straight from microsoft

fair gull
#

so u should also have an email with the key

#

or a system builder cd

#

or the plastic package

zenith sonnet
#

Not any more

dapper ridge
#

uff

fair gull
#

call m$ then

zenith sonnet

heh

fair gull
dapper ridge
#

bleh

#

I miss my old things

#

I had a python app I wrote

#

for fun at work

#

cause I was getting rusty at python and needed to tutor python programmers

#

it was an AD phone list manager

#

so you could add change and remove phone lists

#

I lost that to the ransomware

fair gull
#

thats why i always backup my pc to le cloud

dapper ridge
#

work pc

fair gull
#

same for that

#

just with work cloud

dapper ridge
#

I dont have a cloud big enough then

#

and my work only recently started to adopt cloud storage

fair gull
#

i mean

#

i have some free space

dapper ridge
#

oh fuck

#

I thought that said TB

then I clicked on it

#

hot dam

#

so like

#

fair gull
#

love raidrive

#

best program i found sofar to map pmuch any cloud storage as network drive

dapper ridge
#

raidrive

fair gull
#

#

unlike some foss solutions i saw

#

dapper ridge
#

fair gull
#

dapper ridge
#

how long?

fair gull
#

5years now

dapper ridge
#

im at about 2.5

#

at this job

fair gull
#

this is my first job

#

and only

dapper ridge
#

this is my second

#

my first job was a bit

#

sad

#

I worked at a pizza place

#

I dont miss it

#

well

#

I was the only one who did any work half the time

#

the rest were 17 year old assholes who sat on their phones

#

but I had a job to do

#

so I did it

#

the last straw tho

#

was when they were gonna give me a significant raise

#

and instead minimum wage got increased so they scrapped the raise

#

after that I was done

fair gull
#

this is my life now

#

tons of service requests

#

running around

dapper ridge
#

I wish we had a ticketing system

fair gull
#

i coded that shit

#

cause i wished we had one

#

so i build one

dapper ridge
#

my boss makes us use email

#

we use email

#

to manage tickets

#

it is

#

a special kind of hell for us

fair gull
#

bro at least u had them digital

#

we used paper to do tickets

dapper ridge
#

no way physical requests?

#

holy shit

fair gull
#

it is

dapper ridge
#

it is

fair gull
#

lose the paper

#

its gone

#

like

#

no way u gonna find out what happend or was to be done

#

plus this way customers get a qr code

#

they can scan it

#

and see their device status in real time

dapper ridge
#

seems like yer pretty talented Tiny

fair gull
#

eh

#

idk

dapper ridge
#

im a shoddy programmer imo

fair gull
#

same

#

this was like what

#

3 days

#

which were weekend days

dapper ridge
#

I've been working on this off and on

#

Im almost to the point of scrapping it again and starting over

fair gull
#

HEY

#

thats not stephen

#

thats mark robotberg

dapper ridge
#

yes

#

im using his face as a template

#

this link fixes it

fair gull
#

tmw theres a linked in symbol linking to google.com

#

kinda bland tbh

#

oh wait

#

sneaky bish

#

u javascript whore

dapper ridge
#

not js

#

I dont think

#

cant remember

fair gull
#

ofc is

#

if i enable js

#

its blue

#

and says $author

#

and replaces itself

#

noscript

#

safety measure

#

i still love js

#

if its not used retardetly

dapper ridge
#

it's not javascript

#

I can confirm

#

I opened my source to remind myself

#

#

nice page to print for customers

#

including qr and all

dapper ridge
#

fancy

fair gull
#

which gets transformed with css

#

to be 4 pages

#

and have some text thats display none rn

#

no worky cause of the css theming framework

#

i tried brother

dapper ridge
#

but see it works without js

fair gull
#

im no big fan of display:none

dapper ridge
#

or you mean that anim

fair gull
#

but it was the only solution

dapper ridge
#

im a bit confused

#

I might be losing my mind here

#

omg you were

#

fek

#

im dumb

#

ignore everything above

#

yes, I am aware of the blue not being in the non js

#

just been working on my blog framework instead of fixing small bugs

#

I have been writing this site to try and make it 100% functional without js

fair gull
#

in the mean time i have to force myself to write php rest apis

dapper ridge
#

and mobile friendly

fair gull
#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

dapper ridge
fair gull
#

@proud nacelle hope u like that i add new dom elements into a container on the frontend

#

and not use display none

#

requires tons of js tho

dapper ridge
#

yeah...

#

I completely agree

#

which is why I strive to make my sites work with or without it

fair gull
#

its not functionalility in my case

#

but i dont need the disclaimer for sotrage etc in my quick preview of whats printed

dapper ridge
#

im punishing myself

#

Instead of using a well established blog framework

#

im writing my own in C#

#

because fml

zenith sonnet
fair gull
#

@proud nacelle how can i dynamically show smth thats html when i print the same php site

#

lol

dapper ridge
#

you cant

fair gull
#

exactly

#

so i use display none and the print media query in css

#

works without js

#

and very good at that

dapper ridge
#

yeah I figured it out Tiny

fair gull
#

wrong gif

#

thats the right one

#

fucking ffmpeg took ages

dapper ridge
#

yep

#

I know

#

lol

#

fair gull
#

I WANT A BOX OF NOTHING

#

NOW

dapper ridge
fair gull
#

wha

#

i load the php site

dapper ridge
fair gull
#

it shows me a quick preview

dapper ridge
#

well now you have to have all users using cookies

fair gull
#

this is literally what the print.php returns

#

so when

dapper ridge
#

idk

fair gull
#

i want

#

to print that

#

i go

dapper ridge
#

js is pretty good for web apps

fair gull
#

to my browser print

#

and print

dapper ridge
#

awe tiny wont let us scan the qr

dapper ridge
fair gull
#

then it becomes this

#

no reload of the page

#

#

thats what i wanted

#

and php cant do that

#

yes

#

i told u 6 times

wheat plume
#

wat dis?

dapper ridge
#

if you like dogs and cats

they have fur

#

furries like fur

liking dogs and cats means you are a furry confirmed?

They have what feels like quadrupled the available settings

#

While not making anything more difficult to access

#

They even present it in a better way

Fake news, great

Windows 10 swallows Windows 7 keys without hiccup

I have backups of backups of backups of backups

With every new iteration of Windows

Sometimes there's a gem in there

ashen spindle

speaking of, yesterdays windows update is quite important, fixed bugs in the cryptography api for windows

zenith sonnet
#

Can you make Edge Beta open the homepage when you open a new tab instead of the new tab page?

reef patrol
#

Could have told you that, Xen. ๐Ÿ˜

#

Microsoft never ended the free license upgrade campaign. I've used it for two years professionally.

zenith sonnet
#

I heard about that

#

The issue was, that apparently I've been using Win10 with a RTM key which stayed activated on my old rig since before release :p

reef patrol
#

Just keep in mind your key is now locked to the motherboard. Unless you tie an MS account to your windows login. Then you can get a "I've moved hardware" option

zenith sonnet
#

So, you get OEM keys for a retail license with the upgrade option?

#

Wait wait wait
I need to reboot
This thing gotta be kidding me

reef patrol
#

Yeah they stopped the concept of retail Vs OEM. They expect you to use MS accounts.

#

You can't even install Windows 10 now without being pestered about it, till you physically unplug internet and tell it you're offline.

zenith sonnet
#

That's not true

reef patrol
#

Used to be an opt out, but they removed it.

zenith sonnet
#

I was connected and online, and just had to press a button to install with an offline account

reef patrol
#

I'll gladly post screenshots when I I stall tonight. bcaBoing2

Install*

#

Straight Win 10 1909, downloaded a few days ago with the Microsoft tool

crimson wigeon
#

Apparently the non pro version hides the local account option

zenith sonnet
#

They did make sure to tell me twice that an online account would be better

#

But that's about all

reef patrol
#

No such thing as a non pro installer, ngh

zenith sonnet
#

In a non-obnoxious way

reef patrol
#

But like I said. I'll show you pics tonight. I've been renting about this for months. wutcat

Core vs pro or whatever

reef patrol

Still same installer. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

It's just Win 10, the activation changes the features

crimson wigeon
#

Either way I've always had the offline account option, even when connected

zenith sonnet
#

And yes, offline account was available, no issues

#

Where was I?
Why is there already an 'Flash Player' folder in my appdata...

#

Fuck this thing

crimson wigeon
#

Or if you're feeling ballsy just stay forever in audit mode

zenith sonnet
#

Ok @reef patrol, now the real funny part:
See the installed key there?
That's the EXACT key I tried to use to activate Windows, but it would tell me is not a valid key
I've had to enter my old Win 7 Ultimate key, and now it activated, but with the key it didn't accept before

#

And apparently it's not stored on the mainboard

crimson wigeon
#

That is the generic key

zenith sonnet
#

I have no idea how that works

#

But as long as I can keep using that using that Win 7 key, I'm good

crimson wigeon
#

Basically it's for installing pro and using your motherboard id whatever to activate

zenith sonnet
#

Maybe that's why they never ended the upgrade programme?
They couldn't work this out?

crimson wigeon
#

Probably

zenith sonnet
#

Generic key... good to know

#

Oh, I need a new wallpaper

#

Something darkish, 7680x1440px

#

Things I should get/install I haven't been using before?

reef patrol
#

They stopped using the oldschool keys

#

They check with the cloud every time now.

zenith sonnet
#

This is weird

reef patrol
#

On your next windows install simply say you have no key and it will suto activate once it hits desktop.

#

With that motherboard*

zenith sonnet
#

Yeah, that much I know

#

Used that before

#

Is there a no-installer version of CrystalDiskMark? That page is so weird

#

Ok, there is

#

Found it

#

Urgh

reef patrol
#

The page is terrible. A lot of those tools are.

#

Afterburner springs to mind

zenith sonnet
#

Can't live without Afterburner/RTSS

#

Most important tool for Freesync users after the Radeon Drivers

zenith sonnet
#

Urgh, guess it didn't trim properly yet

#

Those benchmark scores are terrible

old marlin
#

With a flashed bios, yes

#

Wouldn't really recommend that though

zenith sonnet
#

Some GPUs have two BIOS chips
Could flash one and keep a backup

#

Also, what programs?
The driver software (first party) can do some overclocking as well

#

And you're likely going to have that installed anyway

#

Stupid question: can I make C:\ appear as an item between 'This PC' and D:\ in the file explorer?

#

I didn't, it's always been there

#

That's where, like, USB drives, appear, too

#

I can only find some curious registry editing stuff for Win 7 so far

#

Wait a sec

#

I think D:\ is shown there because it's considered a removable drive?

ashen spindle
#

think so yea

zenith sonnet
#

I'm gonna pin C:\ to quick access and call it a day..

old marlin
#

You could add it as a network folder lol

#

No wait lol

zenith sonnet
#

Still, why is Flash Player installed here?

crimson wigeon
#

I don't think it ever stopped being preinstalled since win 8

zenith sonnet
#

You can download an uninstaller

#

asmedia creating ryzen 600 serie chipsets

zenith sonnet
#

That reminds me

#

Install the chipset drivers from the Gigabyte website?

#

Or let Windows Update handle that?

old marlin
#

Should both work lol

#

Although windows ones are sometimes outdated

zenith sonnet
#

Well, for X570 they can't be far off

old marlin
#

As long as there aren't any grave errors it shouldn't matter much anyways

#

Or the ones you get from the manufacturer are worse

#

Had that happen on an msi z170 board

#

Their killer network driver ate my ram when it had an update available

zenith sonnet
#

May also be, that Window's drivers are worse

#

Lol, Killer was bad in the past

old marlin
#

Can be

#

No way to say

#

Yea gl updating your drivers with 100mb of ram available

zenith sonnet
#

Did install the Realtek Audio driver though

old marlin
#

Everything else was in the undistributable piol

zenith sonnet
#

Windows did not install them

ashen spindle
#

@fickle ore why are you mad that asmedia is making them again?

#

Was also a bit obvious given that they will also make them for b550 and such

old marlin
#

Anything known about node size for it?

ashen spindle
#

My guess is whatever makes most sense on GloFoโ€˜s options to meet the conditions that they need to order x amount with them

old marlin
#

I hope 7nm may get rid of the fans

ashen spindle
#

No need for the 500 series chip anyway

#

Be no pcie4 ok b550 and such

#

And Iโ€™d bet thereโ€™s enough time till 600 chips come out to optimize it more than amd did for 570

old marlin
#

True

ashen spindle
#

also I already figured out the next big marketing plan from amd

#

Ryzen 5000 on 5nm with pcie5 and ddr5 on 5/5

#

AM5

old marlin
#

Lol

#

Won't be pcie 5 can tell you that

ashen spindle
#

Ehhh

#

Industry wants to roll out stuff faster, gen6 is already specced iirc

#

But I could see it only being a threadripper feature for that year, so they could still announce it :p

#

After all we know that the aurora computer is supposed to arrive 2021 and that will use gen5

old marlin
#

Rip Samsung i guess lol

ashen spindle
#

?

pale sigil
#

?

crimson wigeon
#

โ“

old marlin
#

They take ages to update

#

They probably wanna get it perfect

ashen spindle
#

?? Still donโ€™t know about what you are talking

#

Phones, ssd, washing machine?

old marlin
#

ssd

#

the only thing that cares about new pcie gens basically lol

ashen spindle
#

well, you can also add more stuff, not just faster stuff

#

and samsung had a pcie4 ssd at ces

#

and since they are one of the 3 big memory makers, even if they dont sell their own stuff, they make money from it

old marlin
#

true

fickle ore
#

cos asmedia is crap

ashen spindle
#

idk i've not really heard anyone complain about their 470/450 boards' chipset really

#

whats the issue with them you know about?

fickle ore
#

ryzen asmedia usb

#

google loads of issues ๐Ÿ˜„

ashen spindle
#

hm I can only find stuff about first gen

old marlin
#

and don't generalize companies based of a single product

fickle ore
#

yeah asmedia usb 3 has been shit all this time

#

not just a single product

#

i dont trust them one bit to make good usb routes

#

asmedia sata chips :E

ashen spindle
#

got any link to it? would love to read more about it but all I find are x370 board's having issues

fickle ore
#

nah, just in my head having read motherboard usb 3 reviews since 2010

#

maybe they improve this time

#

tho evrythin on ryzen is on the die so can probably disable the chipset entirely

#

shit LAN isnt yet on the die

ashen spindle
#

well I would assume so, they need to prove to amd its worth they let asmedia handle it, we'll see if the b550 boards have any issues

#

also zen3 could handle stuff differently from zen2

fickle ore
#

is the improved 7nm+ smaller node than the 7nm used on zen2?

#

maybe we can get LAN on die?

ashen spindle
#

the IO chiplet is not on 7nm anyway

#

and we dont know if it will be for zen3, or even if they continue with the io-die layout

fickle ore
#

hope they do 7nm for IO this time

ashen spindle
#

why

fickle ore
#

can fit more stuff in it I guess

ashen spindle
#

if they spend the neede time etc.

#

oh boy saving 2 watt hell yea

dapper ridge
#

question

#

is AMD actually going to have a gpu that competes with NVidia this year?

ashen spindle
#

yesn't

dapper ridge
#

wonderfnt

ashen spindle
#

3000 series comes out, so it depends if they release it before or after

pale sigil
#

1.25 I think

#

Oops

dapper ridge
ashen spindle
#

you know what your chip does as you designed it so you can start with an area, then you try and tune stuff, get chips before engineering sample that run at like 1ghz for current gen chips

Alright lads, got an issue, wonder if anyone's encountered it before. Trying to boot a live OS off a USB, but the laptop I'm using boots into the existing OS without giving me the option to enter the BIOS

#

So the question now becomes, how the heck do I change the boot order

fair gull
#

im in great need bois

#

i need to have a usb device that can take a 2.5mm aux remote shutter control

#

anyone know any usb devices that would preferably output a singla like a kbd input

#

also willing to solder wires

dapper ridge
#

@zenith mirage what kind of laptop is it?

zenith mirage
#

Erm

#

One sec

#

It's an old one I got given for free

#

Some kind of HP pavilion

dapper ridge
#

hp

#

ok

fair gull
#

turn it off completely and hold f9

dapper ridge
#

should be f9

fair gull
#

if u want bios f10

dapper ridge
#

yep

fair gull
#

if u want a boot menu hold esc

#

as in boot f key options

#

not boot override

zenith mirage
#

Righto chaps, I'll give that a go

#

We hey, we're in

#

Cheers

dapper ridge
#

TinyDutch is pro

fair gull
#

still need to find a way to make the remote trigger work on pc

pale sigil
#

The what

dapper ridge
#

yeah im also confused

fair gull
#

i have a 2.5mm aux remote shutter control

#

for a camera

dapper ridge
#

arduino?

fair gull
#

they are called remote trigger

#

and

#

now i need an adapter to basically detect the press of it

#

on pc

#

cause

#

while the new camera has a remote trigger

#

is bluetooth only

#

i need a wired one

#

so people dont steal it

pale sigil
#

Still confused

fair gull
#

how

#

by what

#

@dapper ridge can the arduino detect if 2 pins of the 2.5mm jack are shorted?

dapper ridge
#

pretty sure

fair gull
#

cant find a 2.5mm jack shield tho

#

thats how its supposed to be

#

i mean if i can write a small app that could detect those shorted pins on the headphone out of a laptop that would also work

zenith mirage
#

Why can't it just be simple and have drive names? FeelsChromosomeMan

fair gull
#

is it actually a uefi boot stick

#

if ur stick is a legacy stick it shouldnt boot on uefi

zenith mirage
#

So try enabling legacy support and see what happens?

fair gull
#

yep

zenith mirage
#

Same deal

fair gull
#

is it actually a boot stick?

#

like did u properly make a bootable stick

zenith mirage
#

I've booted into it on my PC

#

But this laptop won't take it

crimson wigeon
#

Have you tried using the boot menu?

fair gull
#

can u send a screen of what bios options u got

zenith mirage
#

Quite a few times actually

crimson wigeon
#

What does EFI file get you

zenith mirage
#

I'll give it a go

fair gull
#

efi file opens the efi shell

#

so u can navigate to ur efi file manually

crimson wigeon
#

Yes

zenith mirage
fair gull
#

press enter altho thats ur hdd

#

or ssd

#

anyway

crimson wigeon
#

Seems like it doesn't even detect the other drive.. uuh... tried other ports?

fair gull
#

get into bios i need to know all the different tabs u can select

zenith mirage
#

Yeah see sometimes my PC wouldn't pick up the drive either, but it would after a restart. This laptop won't take it in any port

dapper ridge
#

try a different usb device would be my next suggestion

crimson wigeon
#

Overcomplicated solution that definitely won't work, ubuntu? Boot that shit and install rEFInd it'll surely detect everything

zenith mirage
#

Maybe this is a battle I won't win

#

If it doesn't work it doesn't work

#

The thing was free so I can't really complain

dapper ridge
#

try a different usb stick if you can

#

make sure to use rufus

#

or I guess etcher, I prefer rufus tho

crimson wigeon
#

Also check the filesystem perhaps it's NTFS and that UEFI doesn't support it(however unlikely that is)

dapper ridge
#

I have had laptops that just dont let me boot from specific usb devices

fair gull
#

@zenith mirage did u ever check if security might have some kind of usb blocking options

#

i know some laptops do

#

not super familiar with the insydeh20 bios

#

seems like ill be building an arduino device

dapper ridge
#

teensy is pretty good

zenith mirage
#

Tried two USB sticks, now both won't boot on the laptop or my PC

#

So uhhh

#

Yeah, I'm giving up for now

dapper ridge
#

sorry m8

zenith mirage
#

Nah, I appreciate the help

ashen spindle
#

oh vulkan 1.2 version is out/in beta now, neat little update I guess

#

surprised nvidia has beta drivers for that on release ready

zenith sonnet
#

HWMonitor was the one that got reliable Ryzen results?

ashen spindle
#

?

dapper ridge
#

maybe

#

pretty sure they are different

crimson wigeon
#

Yarp, very very different

zenith sonnet
#

Hmm

#

61ยฐC with Prime full load

ashen spindle
#

Oh btw looks like the card outperforming a 2080 ti in the openvr bench was an Nvidia card with the new ryzen apu, but ofc that is not found on /amd anywhere lel

crimson wigeon
#

ha

zenith sonnet
#

Was it?

ashen spindle
#

Yup, the dxdiag of it got updated and now shows an Nvidia thing as gpu be it now sees the apu as cpu

zenith sonnet
#

I need to try prime with more than 20% pump speed, lol

#

The water doesn't even get warm, so it doesn't speed up

#

how to disable all overclocking on my asus mobo

ashen spindle
#

reset it then put a bios pasword on it?

fair gull
#

why the bios pw

ashen spindle
#

closest I can think of disabling overclocking without breaking stuff

fair gull
#

well

#

while ocing was fine the first year

#

rn sometimes the system just freezes up

#

sometimes it doesnt

ashen spindle
#

so you just want to reset the cpu oc?

fair gull
#

ya

#

idk what guide i followed to oc

#

so idk what i actually did

#

lol

ashen spindle
#

some boards have multiple profiles, you could save the current one and see if there is a reset button?

fair gull
#

but i think there was xmp shit also

ashen spindle
#

but xmp is only memory

fair gull
#

ya i think i did cpu and xmp

#

wanna pmuch disable both ocs

ashen spindle
#

and if you have xmp you could just disable that

fair gull
#

or reset

ashen spindle
#

check where the xmp is and just tell it to not select what oyu have rn

#

for cpu, set vcore, load line and multiplier to auto or default or whatever its called

fair gull
#

i think i already did that

ashen spindle
#

and its still runnin oc speeds or what?

#

or are you just wondering if you forgot something?

fair gull
#

yes

#

cause it still freezes

#

and idk why it would

#

didnt really change software

ashen spindle
#

did you do ramtests/diskchecks?

crimson wigeon
#

Don't know if they still have it but my older mobo has this automagic overclock physical switch make sure it's not on

fair gull
#

ssd is fine

#

only thing i didnt do yet is ram test

ashen spindle
#

is the gpu oc'd

#

?

fair gull
#

nope

ashen spindle
#

well try only one ram stick at a time if you have two, or memtest them

fair gull
#

while im almost sure id bsod when its mem problems

ashen spindle
#

well mostly yea, but it's an error and not intended feature after all

reef patrol
#

How to? Reset to defaults in BIOS, enable XMP but if it asks for changing CPU core speeds say no.

#

That's "stock".

#

It'll still turbo boost as per Intel design of course.

thick elk
#

Or some voltage may be stuck where it shouldn't be

ashen spindle
#

multi core enhancement is what you want to look for, turn that off to make sure the board's oc is gone

wheat plume
#

does windows make a swap file or partition?

thick elk
#

file

wheat plume
#

ooohh

thick elk
#

I have a separate numpad on the left for exactly that reason

wheat plume
#

ooof

thick elk
#

As for the extra cable, I have an usb hub stuck to the bottom of my desk for all of those

wheat plume
thick elk
#

Actually doesn't seem too bad imo

#

but yea trippy

wheat plume
#

oh, its reversible, the angle of it, it can go back or forward like usual

fair gull
#

welp win event log has nothing

#

this whole asus ai tweaker shit is too much for me

#

ill prob also bite the bullet and reinstall my system even tho i know ill miss smth

#

and later regret setting it up from 0

thick elk
#

did you run your memtest

fair gull
#

nope

#

but i have other windows issues like it randomly switching focus etc

thick elk
#

That's just called using windows in general

fair gull
#

uh no

#

so far i havent found anyone with these issues

thick elk
#

As for running the memory test I would generally recommend google's stressapptest.
Only issue is that it is generally a bit of a pain to get to it.
For that reason I made a modified arch iso which includes it.
To run it just install this iso on a usb stick using Rufus: https://we.tl/t-kPvuKUUpsS
boot it and type stressapptest -s 3600
This takes as the command says one hour but generally if there are no issues found in the first 5 minutes it's probably very stable.
I had unstable memory where I could game for hours without crashes and here I found errors in the first minute.
If it doesn't give you any errors reinstalling windows is a good bet

dapper ridge
#

I like arch windows

foggy solstice
#

@wheat plume Didn't this server discuss this exact keyboard once before?

wheat plume
#

idk

foggy solstice
#

I believe someone wanted a Wooting with left-sided numpad.

wheat plume
#

oo perhaps

foggy solstice
#

The response was a canned "we're not doing that right now", so we'll see where it goes.

#

Personally I'd buy another Wooting if it had that.

dapper ridge
#

I might try it

#

im used to right side numpad tho

foggy solstice
#

I was used to using M+Kb before using the Steam Controller.

#

It's real easy to get used to better things.

fair gull
#

@thick elk wha ill just use passmarks memtest86

thick elk
#

It's less stressfull in general it takes quite a bit longer to find errors from my experience but sure

fair gull
#

"less stressful"

#

memtest just fill ram and check if it returns expected data

reef patrol
#

Some are apparently more stressful. I guess they do it faster to provoke errors

zenith sonnet
#

@fair gull My Asus board had a jumper which forced XMP on, even when I explicitly disabled in BIOS

#

And XMP for some reason OCed the CPU slightly

#

And Prime is a pretty good memory stress tester, too

old marlin
#

@wheat plume nice board

#

numpad on the left is called southpaw

fair gull
#

@zenith sonnet where does one find that jumper

#

manul doesnt list it

zenith sonnet
#

Then there may not be one

#

Manual should list it

#

But the description may be everything buy obvious

fair gull
#

only jumper listed is clear cmos
