have u looked at MT3608?

most of them don't have a soldered port but you could get one of these

into one of these (the female variant)

and then the last one is soldered to the booster

the good thing about MT3608 is the variable resistor that lets you adjust the output voltage

i burned a couple of them and also ruined a usb cable trying to pry it open to get the wires i need to solder them to the booster but in the end it worked out alright

needed that to power a computer fan from usb and as u know computer fans use 12v

though it was too loud at 12 but i was able to bring it down to 8-9 thanks to the variable resistor

[lapis haven]

first thing i'd do is replacing those pesky potentiometers

[lost fossil]

dunno it served me well

my dumb ass thought i could use one to bring 24v down to 12 and of course it burned because i just kept spinning

it was then when i learned that they only go up

hmmm maybe he's looking for a totally different application

[lapis haven]

I've done that once too, but it wasnt my fault, the potentiometer was already turned beyond its limit and.... explosion!

[lapis haven]

i learnt do get rid of those pepega potentiometers ASAP! and replace them with these:

[lost fossil]

that makes the board worth like 20x more in raw parts tho

[lapis haven]

well yea but atleast it makes ur life easier, i mean way easier

[lapis haven]

thats the module i sent the picture

not sure what module he is using tho

may be a different one

[lost fossil]

yeah but i thought it was just like any voltage up/down converter for some shenanigans so that's why i suggested the other one but after looking it up on aliexpress i found out that these have a specific purpose

[lapis haven]

heres the exploded one

i reused its heatsinks for some other project

it was a step-up converter

oh btw look at this ancient intel cpu:

bet you never saw these before

[cold elbow]

I don't see zipties

[lost fossil]

[lapis haven]

yea! i dont even know what intel were thinking by designing such a cpu

[lost fossil]

meawhile oldest cpu that i have is the core 2 duo e6750

[cold elbow]

I have a Pentium 3

With some DDR memory

[brave field]

@lapis haven The original microUSB version. I have a boost converter with USB-A out, pretty much a USB port on a PCB with a + and - terminal. The USB-A is outputting super low amperage. The TP4056 works fine otherwise, I think

What I'm doing is already stupid though, I guess. An 18650 battery at 4.2v outputting 5v via the boost converter connected to the TP4056, being fed into a microcontroller that converts the 5v back to 3.3v. Just don't want to spend the money and a week waiting on an LDO or something similar

The TP4056 doesn't do any converting on the output side, only converting inputs from some 3-6v (microusb/usbc/+ and - next to the port) down to whatever the 18650 needs to start charging.

[lapis haven]

you got me confused here tbh, could you draw a simple diagram of the parts you are using and how they are connected?

are you using a single cell for this whole circuit?

like this?

im pretty sure there much better ways to do this

[arctic yarrow]

It's been ages since I've seen one of those. Pentium 2 processor, right?

I remember my dad getting upset over those cpus falling out of the slots xD

[brave field]

GIMP absolutely if you're good with programs of the sort, though I think blender is far easier for making both 2D and 3D logos

[fervent granite]

illustrator might be a better option though ngl (idk what the foss alternative is)

[brave field]

@lapis haven

[civic cloud]

Perfect

[lapis haven]

thats right, "Pentium II Deschutes" according to wiki.

I have the board aswell, I'll send photos later.

[lapis haven]

a few questions:

1 - are you using a single cell battery? if so, you should use more than 1, I'd say 3 or 2 as bare minimum, in parallel.

2 - what is the end consumer? i mean is it an arduino?
3 - make sure the usb cable connected from the converter to the microcontroller is not too long.

you just made it so complicated imho, but you said you dont want to buy something else. it can be simpler like using a powerbank module, so both the charger module and the boost conv. could be integrated in one package.

also, the switch should be here instead imo, because even if there is no load connected to the module, it still draws afew mili-amps from the battery, secretly draining the battery:

[lost fossil]

cloud storage?

[civic cloud]

Fuck is that

[lapis haven]

no! from satellite providers which also provided internet access in the past (like Eutelsat) ,basically someone from another country for example started to download a file, the satellite would propagate the data at the user in a way that if any other user had a satellite dish and one of these cards, could also grab a copy of the same file.

[lost fossil]

no but you grabbed files from the sky as u said

that means it was a cloud storage

[lapis haven]

you could say, yes

and 70% of the files were...

eheem

adult videos

[lilac heath]

...

[lapis haven]

there were nerds who could tweak those cards and set them as their internet connection's receiver device, and used a dial-up modem as the send device

they could download/peruse the net almost free of charge, ofc not the whole internet, just some specific european websites

[cold elbow]

That is interesting

Never knew they exist

I'm such a zoomer

[lapis haven]

DVB cards still are in use tho

[cold elbow]

To steal content or because it's reliable?

Why cant u just use the tv

[lapis haven]

I stole many content with it yes I've recorded tons of metal/rock concerts and music videos with that thing.

[lapis haven]

well, its always better to have the tv on your pc

[cold elbow]

True

[brave field]

@lapis haven Thanks so much. 😃 I had the switch there because the TP4056 supposedly has an undercharge protection IC (the rightmost small black one on the PCB?), and with load sharing, I was told there was risk of it instead overcharging because the load would tell the module that the cell isn't full yet. End consumer is the chip at the bottom that consumes 3.3v. Do you know of a powerbank that outputs the 3.3v directly? Seems it would be easier to just replace the USB-A board with an LDO and keep the rest of the circuit, no?

one cell, yes. I have others, but no holder, and I feel weird soldering directly onto a battery's terminals. Heat concern

[cold elbow]

Why not buy a battery charger

[brave field]

avoiding spending, limited time, I'd end up throwing out pretty much every part I have for the project. The solar panel also doesn't output a stable 5v into a powerbank without some sort of extra board to do that

[lapis haven]

yes! I meant that protection circuit, which uses battery power even when theres no load. when you dont use the controller, you just turn the switch off, no need to worry about undercharge of the battery anyway, you could say its a better way to make sure the battery wont undercharge, instead of relying on the circuit.

about the microcontroller board, what board is it?... does it need only 3.3v? then why are you using the boost converter? you could use only the charger module's output directly connected to the m.controller. I think the charger module also regulates the output of the cell so the boost converter seems to be completely redundant.

[lapis haven]

I think only 1 cell is abit too low for all those stuff, current wise, it'd be better to add more cells to double/triple the current capability

[brave field]

ESP32 devkit1, it has an onboard 5v to 3.3v for its USB port and VIN pin. The board itself runs on 3.3v, but tolerates 2.8 to 3.5v or so. The TP4056 out pins output the battery's voltage directly, and the battery being 3.8v or the 4.2v it outputs when full is high enough to fry the board. The boost converter accepts any voltage the battery outputs and turns it into a stable 5v, so the onboard microcontroller regulator can convert it back down. Hugely inefficient

[lapis haven]

oh, I thought the TP4056 also regulates the output...

with your current setup, does the microcontroller even work? or it doesnt turn on?

[brave field]

it turns on and works. Just drains really fast, low amperage, and I'm taking that fire risk

[lapis haven]

well, im afraid the only solution for this whole circuit (which is indeed very inefficient) is to add more cells to increase the capacity/duration of the operation.
is it necessary fot the ESP32 to be mobile? i mean is it necessary for it to be powered only with battery?

[brave field]

aww
Yes. It will be running outside in a waterproof junction box, far from any sort of outdoor-safe AC power source

[feral crest]

So for some reason, my internet is broken
I live in NA yet when i search for NA servers in battlefield, it still shows up as 300+ ping
Same for every other mp game
Any solution?

pc btw

[lapis haven]

yea, you can add more cells, or use a module like S7V8F3 which is an efficient auto step-up/step-down converter which outputs a fixed 3.3v.

[brave field]

@feral crest Make sure you're not using wireless, and then head to speedtest.net, fast.com, or librespeed, and check if your ping to those servers is high too.

S7V8F3
Perfect, thanks!

[feral crest]

Well i only have wi-fi... not internet

ethernet*

This is what i get (i have slow wifi i know)

[lapis haven]

no problem man, that is exactly what you need, input is from 2.7v-11v and output can be set from 2.5v-8v, fixed, while input can be lower or higher, perfect for the cell battery which changes from 4.2v at full state to around ~2.9 at low state
I know your goal was to not spend money but, its the only way.

[snow rover]

today (so tomorrow) i'm redesigning the audio interface holder

the previous design hasn't stood the test of time very well

curiously, the plastic has permanently deformed

[civic cloud]

Hot

[snow rover]

this is what it came out of the printer as

[lapis haven]

nice

[lapis haven]

is that flexible material?

[snow rover]

no it's just normal pla

[lapis haven]

why is it deformed like that?

[snow rover]

under stress it has had a bad time

[lapis haven]

oh

how are you gonna fix it?

[snow rover]

i figured 2mm would be thick enough as the audio interface isn't heavy, but obviously that was wrong

so the fix is to make it bigger

[lapis haven]

are those material heat sensitive?

[snow rover]

well yes but the hottest this room has ever been is like 30c

[lapis haven]

its not about the room, the back of you monitor maybe gets hot? or the audio unit itself?

[snow rover]

no they don't get more than lukewarm

the monitor has an external power brick

[lapis haven]

hmm

[civic cloud]

Do triangles instead of rectangles

Or a double T

[snow rover]

triangles aren't that nice to print at a fairly low resolution

all of the beams will be t-shaped in the v2

[brave field]

@feral crest Any of these? Seems Microsoft/Azure is having some issues

[feral crest]

Now that i think about it, i think the lagging began after i did some auto network fix for the xbox application

[unreal iron]

@brave field I have come to bargain!

A friend has asked for a pc to run Apex Legends, or or runs minecraft on Medium well.

[brave field]

Budget, country, display res/refresh?

[unreal iron]

Probably about 1k, us, she just wants it to play better than xbox

She's asking if she should just get an xbox Series

She she's not gotten to play on pc before

I was thinking of recommending she just get an xb, but wanted to ask if you could beat it. She's ok with a prebuilt

[brave field]

She should probably just go with the xbox. A PC won't be fulfilling if your only goal is to run two games better than an Xbox One. Price-wise, very doable though.

[cold elbow]

Series S

[small mural]

I agree

But it’s a bit down on storage (expansion SSDs are expensive lol) and no 4K gaming

But I don’t think most people play on 4K tvs tbf

[unreal iron]

I'll tell her yea

[unreal iron]

[snow rover]

minecraft is god awful on controller

[charred otter]

Its fine

Plus minecraft now lets you use mnk on console

And it works the exact same

Also, How does one know what is using the most wifi in my house? My ps and laptop are struggling lag wise and they never used to do that

[snow rover]

your router probably logs the bandwidth usage per device

so login to your router and start looking

[brave field]

What else does it say in the area where it says it is off? Could you send a screenshot with Win+Shift+S?

What other things does it say?

Do you have another antivirus, an activator program, driver updater, or a school/work account?

[lapis haven]

so glad to hear AMD is moving from PGA to LGA

I was about to start buying the parts i needed for my build, I think i should wait and see what the new 7000 series are gonna offer, then I'll decide.

[brave field]

I'll miss it. Return policy is much nicer on the CPU end than the board end.

[snow rover]

so what's the benefit

are people actually bending so many pins it's an issue

not to mention how hard the socket pins are to fix

[brave field]

you can pull PGA CPUs straight out of the socket while removing the cooler, depending on how the mounting system is

[snow rover]

funny i just took my cpu cooler off

had the pc running for a while so it was still warm

wiggle it side to side and it came right off

[brave field]

AMD's allows for your shiny new 5950X to have bent pins day 1, while your cheapo $60 board survives it all. I think there's some minor science thing that lets LGA CPUs draw a bit more power somehow too. Secure PGA mounting isn't impossible or anything though. They could just use a door on top like Intel does

[snow rover]

not like intel's mounting system is even good lol

[lapis haven]

LGA's draw more power? is that really a thing? I didn't know that

[brave field]

no source provided, take with grain. I recall it saying they have the capacity to, but don't require it or anything.

Pins are smaller though, so there's maybe some space/heat efficiency there? They already neglect PGA for their top end CPUs for... some reason.

[lapis haven]

PGA is the inverted version of LGA imo

I don't think that'll be too obvious, i mean the power consumption. not sure though, just by imagining how the 2 type contact the cpu in my mind, they dont seem to be much different.

considering AMD has always been paying much attention to power optimization, this decision could falsify that if the power consumption thing is really true.

[lapis haven]

this is somehow a big change for AMD, no one really knows yet, maybe that'll come out to be true.

[snow rover]

how ugly would it be to have a blue and red speaker

very good price but it's a mismatched pair

[lapis haven]

you make music by any chance?

[snow rover]

or if you just take them apart and paint them

[snow rover]

well yeah but it's like the most toy looking shit ever

[lost fossil]

until you press the play button

[lapis haven]

well not everyone is into music, and gamers usually use headphones so its a good price cut

[snow rover]

and they use terrible headphones too

probably

[snow rover]

razer kraken is like shockingly bad

same with the steelseries headsets

$250 to $350. Real sellers with years of feedback under the recently sold auctions search.

[lapis haven]

you using switching PS for it?

[brave field]

yes

[lapis haven]

thats the culprit

audio systems usually use the old linear transformers because there is no high freq chip to disrupt the audio output, using a step-down AC-AC transformer and a full bridge rectifier should eliminate the noise.

[unreal leaf]

Stupid question but can you convert digital units to physical?

Like implying bites have any mass or something

🧠

[supple walrus]

Well

Kinda

Storage is sort of a 'physical' data

Like SSDs/HDDs

[unreal leaf]

How much kg is a byte

[supple walrus]

Depends how dense the storage is

At most? A few atoms

With modern storage

[lapis haven]

information has no weight

i mean

if it did

our brains should've gained like a ton of weight since our birth

[ashen briar]

Lol

do you mean how many kilobytes make a megabyte? perhaps?

[lapis haven]

Sir einstein's brain probably weights 10tons

[supple walrus]

Yeah as I said the closest you can get is physical storage to attributing 'weight' to data. Like if you look how much equipment was required to store mere kilobytes in the 60/70/80s, it was alot of equipment

But the data itself has no attributable weight per se

[ashen briar]

or kilobytes in a byte

[ashen briar]

[supple walrus]

https://www.computerworld.com/article/2473980/data-storage-solutions-143723-storage-now-and-then.html

[lapis haven]

well that comparison is somehow irrelevant to the subject of the discussion, the data itself, i think he asked about that. well ofc, the 'mediums' that we store data on have shrunk through the years, but that doesnt have anything to do with the actual data. data has been the same since the beginning

[supple walrus]

Yeah I realise, as I said, data itself has no physical weight,

So the closest relevance there is, would be the data medium

Data is essentially just electrical signals, so electrons, so pieces of data would weigh literally mere atoms

[ashen briar]

ones and zeros

True/false

[supple walrus]

Transmitted via electrical signals, those ones and zeros represent on/off

[ashen briar]

yes

[supple walrus]

BUT we could also include mechanical computation, butt that's a whole different can of worms so I won't go there

[lapis haven]

an electron weight in kg according to wiki:

[supple walrus]

Aka: literally nothing

Literally a single atom

[ashen briar]

Pretty lightweight

[lapis haven]

right

[lapis haven]

thats the case for computers

the information probably is stored in different form in brain for example

[supple walrus]

Let's.... Not. Neurological sciences is an even more fucky can of worms than mechanical computing xD

[lapis haven]

yea let's not

[supple walrus]

Neurological sciences in a nutshell: we don't know how it works, we just know THAT it works

[ashen briar]

Yeah ofc data is stored in a very different way than a brain. Also what Alpha just said.

We store all that in infastructure. And communicate back and forth with servers. While data is stored on hard drives.

[lapis haven]

thats why i always say nature is like a billion years ahead of us in technology

we literally know 0 yet

[ashen briar]

There's so much to learn about the universe for sure

[supple walrus]

It's like gravity. We know gravity exists, we just can't see 'physical' forces of it
'Oh but you can't see air either' yes you can, using a high powered microscope you can see, and detect all the different elements

But there's just, no known element that acts gravity

There's theories around a fourth atom - the gravitron, but it's yet to be proven to exist

[ashen briar]

Gravity is a real bamboozler

[supple walrus]

Oh and don't get me started on the likes of antimatter and dark matter xD

[ashen briar]

There are also these wierd places across earth that have lighter or heavier gravity. Which are typically places of tourism.

[ashen briar]

Yes please start

[supple walrus]

[ashen briar]

Also strange matter too. Interesting stuff.

[supple walrus]

Amtimatter is scary stuff

It makes fusion reactors look tame

Sun in a box? How about a single gram being able to produce more energy than the earth has used, ever

[ashen briar]

The thing I find fascinating

It took humans longer to go from bronze swords to iron swords than it did to go from iron swords to harnessing the atom (nuclear)

[ashen briar]

Yeah now we can just bomb each other to oblivion and leave a radioactive wasteland

[supple walrus]

Once the foundations were laid about nuclear sciences, it's opened up quite literally endless possibilities

Even outside of nuclear, the science of medicine has come so far in the last 100 years

[ashen briar]

We're probably barely touching the surface of anything though event know. In a millenia things will look quite different in scale.

it would certainly be like how we're comparing the old eras.

[supple walrus]

And material sciences, and literally every science field, has come so far in even just a century

[ashen briar]

Yeah too bad there are a lot of people who want to use those sciences for evil intentions. There is good, but also evil as well.

And it's like, zombie movies

Zombies, are slow as fuck

The Military wouldn't collapse, literally two dudes and a machine gun could sit there for hours killing entire hordes

[ashen briar]

WELL there are actual cases of people biting people. Being on seriously heavy drugs. Zombies are sort of a thing i guess you could say.

[supple walrus]

^

[lapis haven]

thats why i hate the sci-fi genre

[ashen briar]

No the military wouldn't collapse. Zombies couldn't even happen. I don't think. They would be slow, weak. And they're probably starve to death rather quickly.

[supple walrus]

Zombies aren't smart... they won't even dodge, they're literally going to WALK TOWARDS the loud noises and flashes and make it EASIER to kill them

[ashen briar]

Yeah they're brain function would be extremely low.

[supple walrus]

Actually reminds me of a meme from a zombie game

@ashen briar

[ashen briar]

Sure you know there are plenty of humans on this planet who do some very stupid things.

[supple walrus]

(Right side text)

[ashen briar]

I like the "Hee-hee" shotgun go boom guy

[supple walrus]

Lel

[ashen briar]

He looks a lot happier

[supple walrus]

Like, the right side of the meme is so true

[ashen briar]

It's true though

You can just quietly hoard large amounts of ammo in a backpack. Sneak it back and forth to a really good spot. Then sit there and shoot zombies all day. Like, a water tower would be perfect too. Not with a shotgun of course, A hunting rifle with a scope.

It wouldn't be very difficult at all to wipe out zombies all day.

[supple walrus]

Why horde ammo in a backpack... just have your backpack BE the ammo

[ashen briar]

That would be perfect

Oh well not everyone has access to that kind of equipment though

[supple walrus]

No need to reload, you've got what, 650 round belt at your disposal

[ashen briar]

But it would be an easy win for the military. The hardest part would be body disposal.

[supple walrus]

And we circle back to the reason the military wouldn't collapse... this backpack

[ashen briar]

Ah yes ze flammenwerfer

[supple walrus]

Its a good corpse disposal tool xD

[ashen briar]

Also a very fun weapon

[supple walrus]

Hell yes

Being the corpse disposal team in the military during a zombie apocalypse would be fun as fuck lel

[ashen briar]

No need to bring a sack lunch either. Just roast some chicken on break.

It would be rather enjoyable

[lapis haven]

why shoot bullets? those deep quarries could make a good grave for them, just lure them into it, then one rocket and you get rid of like a thousand, body disposal problem also solved

[supple walrus]

And even if a zombie catches you off guard.... you've got a flamethrower... Literally could not ask for a better CQC weapon

[ashen briar]

I don't even really think you'd have to aim for their head. Realistically a pile of decaying flesh wouldn't stand up very well to much.

[supple walrus]

You don't even need to aim

Literally just, press trigger and sweep side to side

[ashen briar]

Yes oh yes for ze flammenwerfer

[supple walrus]

And I mean.... Automatic shotguns exist too

[ashen briar]

here in the US 100% legal to build your very own flamethrower.

no not really

Id say it would

Depends from game to game

And what framerate you are targetting

[brave field]

ultra... eh? Probably does super well if you throw that out. Some games' "ultra" won't run on a 3090 either.

[twin badger]

Id say the esports titles probably would run fine on 1440p

On high, some on ultra

With AAA... really depends

Maybe with DLSS

Since its 1440p and the DLSS image compression wouldnt be as noticeable

Lens flare is usually caused by a dirty lens so clean it.

been wanting to get more nvme in my pc for a while

[solemn forge]

Guys I’m wondering why an external hard drive that has its own power supply and charger actually takes up 20 watts of your pc power consumption

Is the usb connection enough to generate that kind of power?

I have like a couple externals connected and my 750w psu is not holding up lmaoo

[cold elbow]

is it a 3.5 or 2.5 hard drive?

[solemn forge]

3.5

[cold elbow]

you probably need external power supply for that

u cant run it off USB A

[solemn forge]

yeah already plugged in and working but im just wondering why it taking up my psu power consumption

[cold elbow]

maybe because it's spinning?

at 7200RPM

[solemn forge]

yeah but isn't it powered by its own power supply

did some google search as well and clearly uses around 20 watts of my psu even with external power supply connected

weird

gonna have to upgrade to 1200w soon

[cold elbow]

wait how is it even connected to your pc and external psu

[solemn forge]

its connected via usb 3.0 port and the psu im talking about is the one powering the pc

the external hard drives have their own power supplies (i.e. chargers)

[cold elbow]

i still dont understand how are these external hard drives are connected by USB and also by external chargers at the same time

[solemn forge]

they are because 3.5 uses more power than your average usb stick

somehow they also take up your psu consumption

[cold elbow]

this is above my knowledge

corsair does have one

gus gonna love this

OOOUUUU

I thought it was only the NZXT Kraken Z series that had the addressable led screen

If Corsair have one im getting that

[cold elbow]

yeah ICue is a much better eco system

[fallow depot]

Yee, even though my eco rn is Logitech, Aura and Firestorm

Logitech G hub for my keyboard, Mouse and Headset that is

[cold elbow]

dude

just use signal RGB

[snow rover]

i have nothing with rgb

[cold elbow]

i have zero RGB software running in my system tho

[snow rover]

no shitty software to deal with

[cold elbow]

my motherboard can deal with RGB from the BIOS

as for the keyboard... programmed it and disabled the software

same for the mouse

[snow rover]

VIA keyboard is 🤌

it just works

[fallow depot]

Still better than MSI Mystic but you do be spitting facts

[cold elbow]

omg msi RGB software is baad but stil miles better than gigabyte that can brick your system lol

this is why signal RGB is the best solution nowadays

[civic cloud]

Nice

[fallow depot]

Yeah Zotacs Firestorm isn't great but still better than Gigabyte or MSI and I use Aura for my Ram RGB. My chassis fans are static so can't change those

[cold elbow]

omg static fan speed is TERRIBLE

[fallow depot]

Or soild, whatever term you prefer to use

I meant RGB static

As in can't change RGB

[cold elbow]

hmm

why cant you

[fallow depot]

Their Soild Blue, pink and Yellow

[cold elbow]

OHHHH These

can you like

yeet them and get some arctic p12s

5 awesome fans for 30 bucks

[fallow depot]

After buying the GPU, CPU, ram, motherboard and PSU I cut corners where I could to save a couple dollars

[cold elbow]

yeah cut corners by buying and AIO with screen

[fallow depot]

And I wanted a decent mesh airflow case

Listen

Aesthetic

[cold elbow]

[fallow depot]

But chassis fans are on the list

Just not priority

[cold elbow]

you better off buying one of these small screens that plugs by HDMI

[snow rover]

i'm going to put arctic p12s on my gpu

it'll be like the asus x noctua gpu but shittier

[cold elbow]

WWWW

but they gonna look better than noctua for the same performance

and like 4 times cheaper

[cold elbow]

skull emoji

[fallow depot]

💀

Still though, screen AIO is next

[cold elbow]

btw what kind of shit case you bought to get these fans?

[fallow depot]

Airflow cases are instantly 60% better just cause airflow

Air make hardware go brr it cold

[cold elbow]

the word airflow does not mean much

you need actual results to support these claims

[fallow depot]

Nah I watched a Linus Tech Tips video about airflow cases so it's gospel

[cold elbow]

for example NZXT tried to make an airflow case but drilling holes and the case still sucks compared to others

it says airflow tho

[fallow depot]

How dare you question god you heretic

[cold elbow]

i bought my lancool 2 mesh becsaue it's a charts topper and filled with features

not just a case with mesh front

[fallow depot]

I wanted a Lian Li mesh airflow case but couldn't get one that synced with the rest of my items

so i went with this instead https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/cases/atx/90926-dp-atx-matrexx50-mesh-4fs?gclid=CjwKCAjwi8iXBhBeEiwAKbUofVDIS87bHJx9EqUQ0YKXZyjolI_c39CE3UWFvVup76otRV7DwTlMahoCuuYQAvD_BwE

So I'm gonna go with a top mounted 240mm aio

Not a chart topper, but is good where it matters

[cold elbow]

Make sure that your ram or motherboard heatsink wont interfere with your AIO

[fallow depot]

Yeah I'm not gonna go out out and spend $300-$400 on an aio and just try to slap it on. I like to do my research

[cold elbow]

Holly shit

[fallow depot]

Australian Dollar

[cold elbow]

My aio was like 90$ and im pretty sure it's gonna destroy whatever corsair, nzxt or asus offers

[fallow depot]

I won't be that fortunate

[cold elbow]

U can but you dont wanna

[fallow depot]

Sure

The joys of planning and disposal income. Just pay someone else to do it

[fallow depot]

[fallow depot]

[cold elbow]

Hell yeah, my grandparents were in Turkey at one stage

[fallow depot]

Australia is not cheap and semi good weather. But jobs pay well so that's why I'm still here and not America

[cold elbow]

My brothers upstairs on xbox get like 80

it's not about speed

you can probably contact your ISP to change the router location

[junior flax]

Not possible

My dad wont like that

[cold elbow]

some houses have their cables in pipes inside the walls

[junior flax]

Its a new extension im moving into so

He doesnt wanna ruin the walls with lots of holes

Andiits on bottom floor

[cold elbow]

as i said you might have pipes in the walls already

you can route a cable there

[junior flax]

Ok

Il ask

[snow rover]

wifi is just a mindset.

if you can't find a cable long enough, you can make one

[junior flax]

As i said

Its nothing to do with the goddamn cable

Its the fact that my dad doesnt want any holes drilled in walls cos its a new room and new walls so he doesnt want them ruined

[snow rover]

you don't have to run it internally

[junior flax]

😭

Nor does he want a wire running through hallway and shit lol

The way it is the router in front room
Front room enters hallway on left going to kitchen on right going to door to outside

My room will be directly infront

maybe talk to your father?

try to convince him?

you cant have good/reliable online gaming experience with wifi, no matter what adapter you use, period.

i don't massively care because mobile sucks anyway but god

everything that works has to be ruined

A new update was released a few days ago actually and it suffers from a lot of issues

Expected for a major update

Especially running media, it's a mess

[brave field]

nice, thin, rectangular typing area, not having a nitro gifting button and two media buttons with the exact same purpose taking up 8-10% of the screen, more accessibility options, why did they change so much?

[snow rover]

i really hate how much of the very limited screen space is taken up by nothing

[cold elbow]

Literally no one

that's why I stayed on version 16.0 for so long, because I hate having that useless icon

I eventually updated and erased the acutal gift button picture, so now it just looks like nothing is there

button's still functional though

[twin badger]

What changed from the update?

In c# if i want to make a project that increases 100 every day would i use a for loop?

Like
For(int i =0; i <=365; i+=100)
{
Console.WriteLine(i)
}

Would that work?

[brave field]

What is the goal of the 365 in the loop? Will it reset after a year? If you run this loop, you'd get 0, 100, 200, 300, and then it would stop

[tranquil jackal]

Each day the count increases by 100

So day 1 = 100, day 10 = 1000 and day 365 = 36 500

[rapid lake]

Wait, shouldn’t the second condition be i<=36500 in that case?

[tranquil jackal]

How?

[lapis haven]

just declare a separate variable before the loop, then increase it inside the loop with each iteration, let theionly do the iteration task.

int value = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < 365 ; i++){
Console.WriteLine(value);
value+=100;
}

[rapid lake]

I don’t know, haven’t coded in a while but that seemed to make more sense in my head

[lapis haven]

though im not sure what mechanism are you using to apply the "everyday" logic

and Im not familiar with C#, so there may be other more efficient ways to do it

I mean are you gonna use Thread.Sleep() to represent each day?

[light sinew]

My old computer from the good ol days

This can hopefully run a google chrome tab if I’m lucky

[twin badger]

Can it run crysis tho?

[light sinew]

Yea max settings with ray tracing

[charred otter]

That's better than my laptop

[light sinew]

I have a regular gamer laptop but it is 17.3 inches so lugging that in a mini suitcase and having it barely fit on the desk is troublesome.

So I wanna make this my school laptop

For taking notes and basic stuff

[brave field]

What do you use for notetaking?

[light sinew]

A pen and paper

I don’t bring my RoG laptop to school

Unless it is absolutely necessary

It’s like 11 pounds

[charred otter]

Jeez

[light sinew]

I only needed to bring it in to take in person tests on our schools website BlackBoard

That was only every once in a while

[charred otter]

How do i see my specs

[light sinew]

Thankfully the parking lot was close to the building

[charred otter]

What is it again

[light sinew]

On a mac or windows

[charred otter]

Windows

[light sinew]

Usually I just go on minecraft to check stats but the proper way would but ctrl shift escape I believe

Actually no there’s a better way

I just forgot how to do it

[brave field]

fan of dxdiag and msinfo but neither show your GPU on the same page

[light sinew]

There should be a list on windows settings of just the parts you have I just don’t check it because I never needed to

[charred otter]

Well

I was wrong

That computer is worse than my laptop shockingly

[rapid lake]

Use task manager

Ez

[unkempt drift]

these prices

[fluid solar]

2+2 = 4

@brave field which SSD is good

is SATA good?

Looking to add a additonal slot

for my pre-built

it has room

[brave field]

SATA has lower maximum bandwidth on paper, but not all will fit in your system. Unless you're sure your prebuilt has an open m.2 slot compatible with a SATA or NVMe drive, go for a 2.5in SATA SSD of some sort

Both 2.5in and m.2 SATA drives are going to be great options for normal usecases. What sort of things do you plan on doing on the drive? @chrome lotus

[fervent granite]

you could make that chart extra long by including proprietary apple ssd's

[lilac heath]

💀

AMD is much better for budget-midrange cus their prices are below MSRP rn

[cursive saffron]

😜 still rocking the ol rx580

[drowsy steppe]

every sata ssd is different unless it isn't

[chrome lotus]

just for additonal games

[brave field]

oh yeah

just grab whatever cheapo drive with good GB/$ you can get your hands on. Preferably with DRAM, but even DRAMless will do for just games

Here's some sorting params. You can choose country from the top right: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#sort=ppgb&t=0

[drowsy steppe]

would do dram with tlc if close to dramless with QLC

[brave field]

Silicon Power A55 is superb, hopefully available in their region

Do you have any up-to-date links on controllers? I need to brush up again, but I'm only finding ones back from when the 660p first came out and people fearmongered HDD speeds when their drive was full... and nothing about SLC or MLC

[drowsy steppe]

been a while since i fucked with ssd's, heard there were like twenty ssd's that changed from TLC to QLC with a change in controller performance, some big, some small

[brave field]

yupyup

pretty much every highly-acclaimed non-Samsung NVMe drive moved their smaller 256gb and some 512gb models to QLC, and Samsung made their nasty QVO series with prices higher than everyone else's non-QLC drives

[drowsy steppe]

so i just fuck around with NVME's considering they're not as bad with dramless or they can't be dramless or something like that

ssd's are for nerds

that's my excuse

[drowsy steppe]

Even Helix NVME's?

[brave field]

mmmh, not sure about Helix

[drowsy steppe]

I remember Mushkin Enhanced Helix-L or LT are pretty good

Silicon Power A80 was also good

MP33 was good but i think they moved to QLC so substitute with MP34

[brave field]

but for a while, Silicon Power A60/80 and Sabrent Rocket were the only affordable ways to guarantee non-QLC

[drowsy steppe]

Crucial P2 was recommended but it also become QLC

Either the WD sn570 or SN550 was good

Yeah it was the Mushkin Enhanced Helix-L that was very recommended

XPG SX8200 was recommended but controller change i forgot perf diff

Hynix gold was praised

Crucial P5 was on sale and that's it

@brave field are you perhaps one of the 1000 people in the world that actually know HDD's

cause i sure don't
