Ive already applied one bios update to this mobo

look at changelog since the version you have
does it fix/change something you need etc.

wheat plume
Yes, I had to enable it to install Windows 11
ashen spindle
ngl with dual boot and all that I assumed youd not be using it
wheat plume
using 11?
ashen spindle
yes
wheat plume
why would that impact dual booting?
Unless they forced Fast Startup to be always enabled
and with no way to turn it off
ashen spindle
because your dual boot breaks from simple windows updates so I assumed you'd not risk even more variables that could impact it
wheat plume
I clean installed 11 xd

yeah i have secure/TPM and that junk as well and it aint stopping my dual-booting.
though for my laptop I installed 11 to try it and that required bypassing the TPM checks and stuff so for that one its off.

well lanas dual boot (used to? ) break from a normal update so I assumed it would be safer to not take any chances
wheat plume
The updates on 11 dont break it (fortunatly)

not too surprising. if you mean a bios update then idunno what was in the patch. but if you meant windows update, well, thats not surprising. Windows had updates that literally deleted your Documents folders

IDs you canāt get around but imo itās not good.
Age restrictions especially on games are ridiculous so they shouldnāt be enforced but changed or removed instead
junior ore
they should be removed, yes.
reef patrol
Kids have Roblox and Forknknife (and of course mobile games in general) They don't need actual gambling to spend it all
junior ore
if you want your customers to have these bonus content without gambling : just make it fucking paid DLC
shadow minnow
they should be removed, yes.
Unless itās a really ridiculous game, I think there should be bit of limits but for most things itās ridiculous and make people just go around the restrictions
I would be surprised if there is a single child with internet access who never inputed false age online
Or well there probably is one
But not many
So itās just not effective
And affects the people most likely to follow rules most anyways
junior ore
it's not about trying to get age restrictions to these games because gambling
it's about removing the gambling.
junior ore
like, keep age restriction to the porn stuff lol
shadow minnow
Yeah
But not normal games
Like most people played a game they definitely legally couldnāt even before they were 10, for some just Minecraft or so, some GTA.

nowadays more "legitimate" platforms tend to put harder to ignore restrictions than just asking age

Not like the restrictions should often be there in the first place

Makes 0 sense
shadow minnow
its 13 for discord aside from some countries
Including my country and many in EU
ashen spindle
as you need to enter a legal agreement when you agree to ToS etc.

that "are you 18?" popup am guessing was solely there to cover the pr0n domain owner on some legal technicality

And itās not like they should be enforced

shadow minnow
oh boy you are swining open the door for that to be abused
Well the way current age requirements work clearly doesnāt work either
shadow minnow
And also result of current requirements
As in you canāt play among us under 16 in my country
junior ore
why is that?
shadow minnow
Or be on discord and more
junior ore
thats so odd
shadow minnow
why is that?
16 is age for most things like that idk really, probably the thing with sinning TOS Quin said
junior ore
i mean, I get it. online isn't particularly 'safe'.
frozen ingot
when I was that age the general consensus for using the internet was not giving anyone your real name or personal details anywhere
shadow minnow
i mean, I get it. online isn't particularly 'safe'.
Irl isnāt either
ashen spindle
it's based on laws about when/how you can enter legal contracts in what form
and what laws and ages apply differs from country to country
shadow minnow
it's based on laws about when/how you can enter legal contracts in what form
And the result of that is just dumb requirements for some games in some countries
You can enter army before you can play CoD in some countries
frozen ingot
the whole phenomenon with people posting their entire life publically and services requiring you using real names etc is quite a recent one
mostly "thanks" to everyones favourite big tech pals
whatever happened to being conscious and vigilant of online scammers/con artists/hackers and not giving them free clues
shadow minnow
Eh I canāt say I have never shared any personal info but never to a scammer or such
But also some of these are not so relevant. Like I donāt see how is telling someone what country are you from going to tell them anything

I only got one male-male type usb-c cable, only use I've found for it is plugging it into the usb-c port on my powerbank and then to a usb-c device and boom you get a "fastcharging" power output

people will plug them into a standard receptacle and their generator, then their entire house will power up and the cable will explode
frozen ingot
instead of using the usb-a ports
junior ore
i once had a situation where one of my coworkers had built the computer but flipped the red switch on the power supply. I didn't know he did that until he plugged it in and made fireworks out of the dang thing and he didn't know what caused it. I had to show him the 240v on it and to make sure not to do that again.
he said he was curious >.>
frozen ingot
the usb-c on it is designed to recieve power from a usb wall charger or something to charge the powerbank cells but also to deliver higher charging output to devices that support it

usb c can has special abilities to set what voltage it is set to and the charge direction purely digitally

yeah I learned usb-c had a bunch of that electronic wizardry when researching how to make it deliver a certain volt/watt/polarity etc for a specific application
not entirely straightforward to make it output what you want and then adapt that to a typical fixed polarity connector such as a barrel plug
junior ore

frozen ingot
I haven't tested all the features, but the stuff I have it seems to work as described
this one iirc
astral haven
heres my cursed collection
its capable of 3.3-20v at 5 amps
and the output can be put into anything
guess which ones I think are the most cursed
frozen ingot
realized I can monitor the power draw of my two HE in realtime with that thing to see what my keeb is getting from the usb/cable
I never quite got to the point of using it for my intended purpose
astral haven
its also pretty sweet since mine at least is capable of running usb 3 comms through it
frozen ingot
because I'd forgotten some part and postponed it "til next I need somethin of off aliexpress"
can't recall whether mine let the data rails pass thru
it says it can read "data" as a value so assuming that's a yes?
astral haven
if you can plug in your keyboard and use it, then it can pass data through
frozen ingot
probably sends a copy off to the chairman of the ccp as well
astral haven
that would be extremely impressive if it could
frozen ingot
yeah don't think even the copypasta senseis in china could pull it off for its sticker price
eyy
well within comfort zone
junior ore
well I'm boned. I can't remember if the special adapter i bought for my super famicom is 9v or 12v
empty wren
Did you buy it online?
junior ore
was the only way
bought it months ago, from a UK retro game company.
(and yes, I made sure at the time it was rated for american plug) and it worked and everything.
i just can't remember which one it is and it's mixed up with other adapters >.<
sturdy token
the original snes adapter is 10v iirc
junior ore
right but I got a super famicom
and that uses a different polarity.
can't plug in my normal snes adapter.
also am too lazy to desolder the broken adapter port of my SNES
but no biggy.
i think it's the 9volt
it has a lower amperage too.
and I think I vaguely recall enough that is the one, and discussion how it's less taxing on it or something.
crisp granite
any news about deckard beyond the patents and steamVR beta stuff (existence of dev tools)?
crisp granite
hopefully something
I got 120 CAD on my steam account for reservations if they do open
I doubt it would open at announcement though
or if the headset would get announced at all tbh
even though it clearly exists
true quest
not going to wait as i did with the deck this time
crisp granite
tbh, the deck was hella cool
but it's use was lost on me
so I never actually bothered to reserve
the deckard is...exactly what I've been looking for, so I'd be an idiot to not get in on it ASAP

What happens if you get YouTube premium and use it to download a song on YouTube Music that you can normally view in your own country but then you go to a country that it's blocked from being viewed due to copyright
Can you still listen to the song because you downloaded it before getting to the country or will YouTube Music not let you?

Now that my PC isn't boiling any more it's time to play around with undervolting. And of course my motherboard does shit in a completely different way than all of the guides.

Interested if A770 LE launches like next week and could last me until new gen launches
Seriously the Intel peeps were doing so many interviews, but not a single person asked what were they thinking about launching a pretty stinking unstable product so close to new gen launch
Is Battlemage also going to compete against RDNA4?

Oh no. Putin is everywhere - Even in my CPU.-

"relative game performance"
reef patrol
Honestly if it can match a 3060 I'm perfectly over the moon.
Cause that means Intel actually stands a chance of breaking into the sensible consumer market and shake that up a ton.
junior ore
right but we all know these type of charts are bogus
reef patrol
Time will tell as usual.
ashen spindle
the 770 will probably be around a 60ti with like 50W higher tdp from what it seems like
but first gen is all about fixing drivers anyway
junior ore
trying to decide if watch window for fedex truck for my Deck or play Dwarf Fortress.
reef patrol
Dorf? Dorf.
junior ore
is a great game
I sorta kinda wish the guy had a small team to speed up the development.
then again without the steam version he can't afford such
cursive summit
When's DFs steam launch anyways
reef patrol
When it's done.
cursive summit
The game seems fun af I want to try it
crimson wigeon
Soon
cursive summit
Waiting for the steam version
junior ore
@cursive summit can play it now and just change the graphics. its moddable.
cursive summit
Oh
Brand new blog post for DF is out
Apparently the features are ready and it's bug fixing
crimson wigeon
I'll get the steam ver and get rid of the graphics because
junior ore
but the bugs are the best feature
cursive summit
They still have the ascii version right?
crimson wigeon
Yes it'll always be free
junior ore
there will always be normal dwarf fortress
cursive summit
*but the bugs are the best feature*
As a diehard Bethesda fan, you are not wrong
Do they have like rimworld-ish graphics?
Something more realistic
junior ore
yeah but where as Morrowind bugs are sometimes fun : then skyrim ones not so much
see, bugs in dwarf fortress is fun because they can cause a whacky story or something funny or weird conpisracy theory or things like that
like killer rabid unicorns and twilight zone based artifacts.
cursive summit
junior ore
the bugs within, say, a bethesda game : are the kind you don't want. and especially by people that say they don't care because other people will fix it for them. which is really bad.
crimson wigeon
I prefer the more fun ones like rain being hot causing all creatures on the surface to melt
junior ore
yeah, see, thats a funny one. though sounds like it could hamper the game, too.
i don't see whats so fancy and special about this case. seems normal.
reef patrol
Is it REALLY a Lian-Li case if it looks like a PC case?
junior ore

reef patrol
cursive summit
Lancool was always Lian-Lis normie case
reef patrol
cursive summit
It's priced alright as well
Now that I think of it, idk which one's better, Lancool or O11
junior ore
lmao
reef patrol
Does it use gator clips to hold the front in?
ashen spindle
if it is a good upgrade over the lancool 2 for a good price that could be a a great case for airflow focus
reef patrol
where the fuck do you put fans on it š

solves the issue of stupidly large video cards though
cursive summit
Really sad that rn cards are so expensive, 3070 is only 200$ below 6900XT Red Devil Ultimate and 3060s are priced at 500$ 
Need a PC but the prices are exorbitant
Other than AMD top end, those are honestly well priced rn
At least 6800XT finally fell back into 700$ niche, was hovering at 1000$ for many months
junior ore
well if hardware companies could take a page from Valve in making an attempt to middle finger scalpers.... would help a ton. but continued fall of bit coins will help.
junior ore
thats why gotta report preorders
also it's still a hell of a better method than other companies, using non-new accounts to be able to purchase the thing
cursive summit
I don't see much of the reason for Deck hype
Other than being very well priced for a PC handheld
Do peeps really want to game on a thing with like 3 hours battery life
cursive summit
I'd be very surprised if while gaming it sustains battery life over 4
Last I heard it died at like 2.5 while gaming
junior ore
well fi you run the machine at maximum to purposefully drain the battery... yeah its not going ot last long. that applies for every device :V
cursive summit
... that runs on a battery
junior ore
my point was : don't run the machine always at maximum if it's an issue.
cursive summit
Idk man if I had a PC, I'd rather have a desktop with 2 screens and a 1440p screen
junior ore
it's a PC, a computer. you can adjust the voltage of the hardware to not consume as much when its not needed
cursive summit
junior ore
like if all you're doing with it is emulation you could run it for 8 hours plus.

Is the macbook still passively cooled?
Like when M1 first came out the products had no active fans iirc
reef patrol
Is the macbook still passively cooled?
Passively heated more like.
junior ore
š
passively cooling with a laptop is a paradox if the bottom is sitting flush on a surface
cursive summit
It beats me how people can tout "no fans" as a good decision
Same thing with PSUs
junior ore
the Apple 3 had no fans. it was def not a good decision š¤£
cursive summit
Like why'd you want something that heats up during operation not to cool itself efficiently
shadow minnow
Quiet
cursive summit
I bet the answer is always "but muh noise"
shadow minnow
Yes
cursive summit
Fans don't even make that much noise
chrome estuary
the m1 mba doesn't get hot, or at least mine doesn't. it was the only one that didn't come with fans.
junior ore
it got so warm and hot there was a chip taht would pop out. and some of the instructionsd you could have been given would be to rock the machine in hopes to get it to settle back in
shadow minnow
M1 pro MacBook has fans yet is quiet
chrome estuary
the others come with them.
shadow minnow
Fans don't even make that much noise
Well not on MacBooks (anymore since m1) but they used to
junior ore
m1 macbooks had a fan
cursive summit
Idk man my middle of the road PC makes absolutely no noise during operation
shadow minnow
m1 macbooks had a fan
Yes but itās very quiet
cursive summit
People should embrace the fan
junior ore
yeah. but I think vexx said maybe it didn't.
cursive summit
The only fan
shadow minnow
Idk man my middle of the road PC makes absolutely no noise during operation
My pc does make more noise at lowest fan rpms than m1 pro MacBook with GPU intensive games
shadow minnow
yeah. but I think vexx said maybe it didn't.
M1 air didnāt
junior ore
the M2s are also not passively cooled https://9to5mac.com/2022/06/30/ifixit-teardown-m2-macbook-pro/
cursive summit
Is that a single fan?
junior ore
ooooh Air
shadow minnow
Is that a single fan?
Yes for m2 itās enough
Wonāt be enough for m2 pro though
But considering the max power consumption no need for 2
On m2
cursive summit
Why tf would they call a product with "AIR" in the name and give it no fan
junior ore
that just means they just undervolt the chip to make sure it doesn't get hot enough.
shadow minnow
Light as air quiet as air
junior ore
I thought for Apple air meant thin
shadow minnow
that just means they just undervolt the chip to make sure it doesn't get hot eno...
Well it may not be as efficient with higher voltages
shadow minnow
I thought for Apple air meant thin
Also that
cursive summit
Well evidently whatever Apple's doing makes their shit hot
Embrace the fan
And liquid metal
junior ore
no no no no . you see. warping and bending is paid feature š
cursive summit
Better off just liquid cool your laptop like cmon what are you, a cheapskate
shadow minnow
no no no no . you see. warping and bending is paid feature š
Yeah itās a worry in full alumium chassis
junior ore
yeah some people tried watercooling laptop. wasn't quite there yet.
shadow minnow
Better off just liquid cool your laptop like cmon what are you, a cheapskate
Well yes air MacBooks are the cheapest ones
cursive summit

You must pay extra to bend your PC

Anyways apple wants MacBooks to be quiet even if bit warmer and ngl I really like how quiet 16ā m1 pro is
cursive summit
runs 4 120mm fans, can't hear anything during operation
Apple: NOT GOOD ENOUGH SON
Let's make this puppy overheat
shadow minnow
> runs 4 120mm fans, can't hear anything during operation
Depends on fans of course, I canāt relate
junior ore
i like less hardware failures and less hardware wear and tear over quietness
especially in regards to hardware that will never be repaired by the company, no matter the warranty
At least with the steam deck, if a part breaks, I can order a new part and replace it.
can't even do that with apple laptops, except for the screens. everything else is soldered.
unless they changed.
mild dome
Reminder apple locks even the most basic chips like the ones that manage power so that replacements can't be done by third parties
junior ore
a yup
this is not a company that wants to be friendly. or be resourceful. this is a company that claims to do actions about reducing e-waste but at the same time causes significant amounts and ensures their products are built to fail and be irreparable.
mild dome
"Our new cardboard packaging is green!"
Hey can I repair this one minor component on my otherwise perfectly fine device such that it may run for another 5 years?
"Get fucked shitlord, only evil stealers would want a device that last betond the warranty period!"

no it wont.
it's a bigger check from other companies like Dell and HP
and especially any that run servers.
junior ore
Intel Xeon AND Intel Core CPU*

Not like that matters for most of us consumers

junior ore
been around for over a hundred years

but i will say it was bad to screw up the source linking lol
also I was saying it was headquarted in japan* not japanese exclusive

cursive summit
Where's the statement
I got a statement from Nvidia that 4000 series is launching tomorrow. With 99$ pricetag.
ashen spindle
I posted the image because that was literally all the site had
cursive summit
Basically paraphrasing the text
junior ore
and yet I posted the actual article of it that had way more than that. the search results just gives a brief summary, for sake of finding results.
cursive summit
Apparently they said so. Just need to take their word for it.
junior ore
just read it to find out, Quin.
cursive summit
I wonder where the 20% value came from though
junior ore
well somethings broken on your end :
cursive summit
Android chrome
ashen spindle
ah adblocker caused it
I dont even want to know how that site is set up if part of the plain text is not just text..
junior ore
i use an ad blocker too
cursive summit
Probably was an ad inbetween
ashen spindle
yeah with adblock off there is no ad in there either so that must be some shit html setup or something
junior ore
you'll fine quin that news sites and even some image sites will have techniques to stop copy-pasting. for, you know, plagiarism and whatnot.
ashen spindle
ok so basically it costs more and they need to charge more, inflation, supply, tsmc raising costs. etc.
junior ore
this is in plaintext though
i can copy the text from this news article without issue,.
ashen spindle
origin
ashen spindle
well I also still have umatrix even though that isnt developed anymore, still works fine though

they should have made the pull-out penalty 10% of the promised payment, at minimum
then that would have put a dent on his wallet.

The papers they handed the Delaware court are... not great from Musk's point of view. But hey. Let's see how it pans out.
ashen spindle
well when your law firms are the top of the world I kinda hope every paper especially the first ones make my case look favorable

a billion dollars isn't really anything to someone that can afford 44 billion

A billion dollars liquid

also musk is not the one who has the 44b in his bank lol

Does the 60he work on ps5?
junior ore
I still don't see this an an obstacle for him.
misty saffron
no, sony works on ps5
ashen spindle
because him paying 1b is different than his holdings companies paying 44
junior ore
so it has to be directly from him, ah.
maybe. I still think it wont be that much an issue.
i do hope it'll be an issue for him though. dude is a con artist.
ashen spindle
just because he has more doesnt mean he can directly use it, lots of stock he can't sell legally or wont because he could lose majority of the company etc.

i still can't believe he managed to sell that idea for tunnels.
vacuum super travel tubes wasn't even his idea

do you believe that the customs keyboards are better from the wooting 2he keyboards??
the full customs keyboards are better from the wooting 2 he keyboards??
reef patrol
do you believe that the customs keyboards are better from the wooting...
That depends on your definition. A Wooting will never be able to match your ultimate custom keyboard. But your custom keyboard won't have the Wooting analog features either.
You've got people putting down 3-600$ for the CASE alone these days.
latent mural
you mean that the custom keyboards are better from the wooting keyboards?
this you mean?
reef patrol
latent mural
in everything the full customs keyboards are better from the wooting keyboards??
this you mean?
because i am confused now..
ashen spindle
custom means it can be fully custom
so if you pay some thousand dollars you could take the wooting pcb and customize it to be better
it could also be shit
ashen spindle
it depends
latent mural
what you mean?
latent mural
ok
i understand
but in all the terms
the wooting keyboards are the best on the market now
corect??
from the other brands
ashen spindle
I would say so yes

only smooth for now

they have nice sound

wooting has no click
it has normal clack
latent mural
this i mean
but the sound of feeling when you type
is very nice
am i corect/

astral haven
its very normal for gateron
latent mural
for me is very good
this i mean
is better from corsair and razer keyboards
the clack
this i mean
you type very smooth with the clack of wooting 2 he
am i corect to this?
astral haven
the clack of the wooting is the same as every other gateron
latent mural
do you believe that the typing in wooting 2he keyboard is very good or bad??
latent mural
i understand what you mean
astral haven
the wooting is great for gaming
besides that it has a very long life, but is otherwise normal
latent mural
what you mean?
it has very long life??
what you mean with this?
the wooting for typing isnot great??
astral haven
it doesnt have any electrical contacts in the switch, the switches dont have a set lifespan
the typing is normal
theres nothing special about the typing compared to for example this
https://www.amazon.com/Glorious-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches-Lighting/dp/B09YZ3BNYP

so because it doesnt have
