[civic cloud]

You're excused

time to go to bed and start from scratch tomorrow

[lilac heath]

GG

At MSRP?

I was also thinking about getting a gpu but still kinda confused between a 3060ti or 3070

[arctic yarrow]

Needing a little pointer with a programming assignment using Python. I'm tasked with creating two empty lists in the __init__(self) method within a class, and need the lists to be able to append and remove items at will. The problem is every time I call the class the lists are reset. I've attempted to utilize class methods, static methods with no luck. What other options should I look into?

[cold elbow]

yeah 500$

[cold elbow]

it depends on the price difference
for me i found a lot of demand on the 3060 ti which kept its price high so 3070 it's

[lilac heath]

Price of 3060ti is around $480 and 3070 costs $540

Wish 3070 had more vram

[civic cloud]

Wish my 3080 had more vram

10gb

:(

[lilac heath]

U can always download more ram

[snow rover]

why are people so crazy about vram

[lilac heath]

:)

[snow rover]

8gb is plenty for a 1440p card

[lilac heath]

MSFS requires 8+ vram at 1440p

Ultra settings

[snow rover]

nobody plays msfs at ultra settings

[cold elbow]

u see i would go for a 3070 there

[lilac heath]

Nvidia messed up big time
Why does 3060 have 12gb vram

[cold elbow]

mining

[lilac heath]

Well 3060 isnt powerful for mining anyway

[cold elbow]

also they wanted a reason to jack the prices

[lilac heath]

Same

Or should i wait for 4k series to drop

[cold elbow]

I upgraded because I wanted something better and had the money for it
my old 1070 ti well it's old

don't do it if you don't have to.

[lilac heath]

Well i have a gaming || laptop || with 3050 now
I wanted to build a pc but had no option cus of the prices last yr,couldnt justify paying $1k for gpu alone

And that too for a 3060

[cold elbow]

oh god

gaming laptop

so yeah if you have the money and a 3060 ti/3070 gives you the performance you want then just do it.

keep in mind next gen they will release the high end cards first and these will probably have shit availability so you will have to wait another 6 months to get something decent

on the other hand current gen is getting cheaper and cheaper because of the used market

[lilac heath]

What if the price of 3080 drops to $600 after the release

I have a budget of $1-1.2k

Not including the monitor and other peripherals

[cold elbow]

well as i said
buy what you think is good for your use and stop worrying for what is coming next... tech change every month
that if you really want a system now.

but if you can wait then nvidia and AMD both gonna release new shit, and that gonna take a while.

[civic cloud]

New shite best

[cold elbow]

not really

we wait for new shit to buy old shit

[civic cloud]

NEW SHIT

the exterior will look something like that, holes will be filled with screw heads

why have i spent 10 consecutive hours in fusion 360 again

[cold elbow]

Looks neat

[brave field]

@arctic yarrow When you call the class' functions, you're making sure you're not just creating a new instance/object each time?

[arctic yarrow]

Oh damn, forgot to followup. Turns out the issue all along was I was placing a list inside a list instead of throwing the values in the first list to the second list. That caused an error when I attempted to remove a value from that list later.

[brave field]

ooh, glad you figured it out

Whatchu working on? Have a github/lab repo? 👀

[arctic yarrow]

Well... I think so from trying to fix a bug in an LC3 emulator.

But I haven't logged into it for about a year.

Oh, it's just an assignment for my OOP class

[brave field]

ah, fun

[arctic yarrow]

What's even more fun is I have on average 4 hours of homework per day from physics alone on top of that.

[brave field]

How does an OOP class in Python work? Do you just skip over the part where half the course in languages like Java is over things people don't use half the time, like abstracts?

Sorry to hear, that's quite the workload

[arctic yarrow]

Well, 1400 introduces python and gets you to eventually work with functions and libraries.

1410 introduces classes and methods, and I have no idea what's next tbh.

[brave field]

Crisp. Information systems? Data science? What's your end goal/degree/cert?

[arctic yarrow]

I'm going for a CS degree with an engineering focus, and those classes are required for it. My end goal is to obtain a position at the micron facility near me that helped do the R&D for 3d xpoint, aka Intel Optane.

I'd like to eventually end up on their R&D team.

[brave field]

sounds wonderful

Micron, are you more focused on R&D for their storage NAND or (G/LP)DDR memory?

[arctic yarrow]

More on their storage.

[brave field]

best of luck, I wish I had my goal so set out

Do you like controllers? The ways things are stored themselves? Longevity, speed?

[arctic yarrow]

TBH, it's more of a surface "I like the tech and I want to be involved in making better ones" and Micron is the closest option.

[cold elbow]

we might face some semiconductors drama soon since the US banned sales of some chips that amd and Nvidia makes in china

[lilac heath]

[lilac heath]

Just in time before the launch of 4k series

And China invading Taiwan will cause even more problems regarding chip shortage

[cold elbow]

Yeahhhh im very worried about that

[lilac heath]

[snow rover]

people are talking about getting into engineering semiconductors and whatnot, meanwhile i'm just designing and printing junk in my bedroom

[cold elbow]

i want to design and print junk in my bedroom as well

[snow rover]

well that's easy

[jovial tide]

is photomath good if i dont want to do shit?

[cold elbow]

A very weird question

[pliant lynx]

erm

if u doing deriative/differentiation/integration, use website

if basic math like algebra, normal photomath work

photomath gives u answer only but doesnt provide u with detailed steps and explanation iirc

[snow rover]

it does

wolframalpha is obviously much more in depth but also harder to use

Problem recording using obs
I'm trying to record gameplay but when I use lossless NVDIA encoder .mkv it records everything black and when I start recording in CBR 20k-60k kbps and switch screens, the frame rate drops so bad I cant see anything. I used to record the game before as well but at 1280x720 but ive changed it to 1080p and idk whats wrong. Using a laptop

[vapid grove]

what printed would you recommend

[snow rover]

i don't know the current market

[pliant lynx]

canon

mg series

[midnight jungle]

Thanks @maiden relic

I don't know which one to get from those, i got them recommended because they're price are kinda good

The MSIs are kinda over my budget tbh

[crude jewel]

pls help

[snow rover]

your question isn't exactly conducive to answers

[austere plaza]

anyone good with python or c++?

[midnight jungle]

Hmm

[cold elbow]

@midnight jungle don't touch the Asus F15
It's a pile of shit
Dell is definitely a no-no because DELL
Hp Is meh
Msi is a hit or miss

My recommendation is an Acer nitro 5 with AMD CPU.

[snow rover]

lenovo laptops are solid

i remember one of the fairly recent msi models having issues where the screen literally snaps off with use lol

[cold elbow]

My experience with lenovo was horrible

They managed to fuck up a gaming laptop in so many ways
Overheating
48hz monitor
Shit battery life
And some bug that drains the battery when it's off
Horrible keyboard
Too heavy
And many more that I can't remember.

[snow rover]

48hz monitor what

i refuse to believe a panel with that specification exists

[cold elbow]

They put a dust filter in the already restricted intake holes and guess what?
U cannot clean that filter

I can talk about it all day

OH OH OH

I ALMOST FORGOT

The LAN port comes with a spring-loaded plastic thing that holds the cable
That thing broke by itself making the port unusable

[lost fossil]

ibm fell off

[civic cloud]

Acer Nitro 5 is ok, got one as well

[civic cloud]

horror

[small mural]

yep, 6 core 11th gen is going for $750

which is a steal

but unfortunately you get 8 gigs of ram plus a 1650 for that money

[snow rover]

that's not a great deal

[small mural]

huh

its a decent option for the money i think

[snow rover]

not with that gpu

[civic cloud]

Got one with...5300U for less than 400

And it runs factorio

[small mural]

thats a ryzen 3 isnt it

[civic cloud]

Ye

[midnight jungle]

Which one do you recommend?

[small mural]

hmm

acer nitro 5 yes

[midnight jungle]

I got an offer on the acer nitro 5

[small mural]

asus f15 has fucking fake cooling vents

[midnight jungle]

I5 10300H rtx 3060

The cpu looks meeh

[small mural]

hmm

ye cpu is meh indeed

four (4) core cpu

[midnight jungle]

Is the acer nitro 5 good for games?

[small mural]

decent

depends on specs

[midnight jungle]

Because i want to enjoy games with a high fps and pretty graphics, nothing toooo fancy tbh

[small mural]

budget?

[midnight jungle]

I guess 1400$

[small mural]

hmmmm

theres the Asus G14

[midnight jungle]

I need to check the availability first lol

Imma check it out

[cold elbow]

get the AMD one cus it comes with 6 cores CPU that is more efficient and cooler than intel's 4 core cpu lol

[small mural]

yep

[midnight jungle]

I'll have to see if it's available or nah

[small mural]

Amude > intel throwable grenade CPU

[midnight jungle]

Rtx 2060

[small mural]

[small mural]

laptop 3050 is actually mid at very best

[cold elbow]

im guessing they dont produce a lot of heat and game well

[midnight jungle]

[cold elbow]

💀

[small mural]

[small mural]

if there is, avoid the F series at all costs

those are MID

• fake cooling vents

[midnight jungle]

I just need to stay near the budget lol

[small mural]

like F15 F17

[midnight jungle]

I heard a lot about tuf f15 and fake cooling stuff also

[cold elbow]

[cold elbow]

[midnight jungle]

2000 MAD is like 200$ xD

[small mural]

could be the newer 6000 series one

[midnight jungle]

I can't

[cold elbow]

why cant u buy a desktop gaming laptop and a cheap laptop for mobile

[midnight jungle]

[midnight jungle]

I don't need a desktop

[small mural]

i meant the laptop that goes for $2000

[midnight jungle]

And certainly don't wanna share

[midnight jungle]

Oh

[small mural]

could use the 6800HS or something

[midnight jungle]

Well i googled the prices for a g14, like 2300$

[small mural]

hmm

the 2020 G14 goes for $1200 i think

4000 series

[midnight jungle]

What specs?

[small mural]

also depending on your region

let me check

[snow rover]

g14 is the small one right

[small mural]

yeah

14inches isnt that small

[snow rover]

you're always gonna pay a bit of a premium for ultrabook size

[midnight jungle]

[small mural]

ill check the bigger G15's price

nvm its even more expensive

I'll need it for school too( programming) lol

[snow rover]

i do all my code compiling on a 3ds

[arctic yarrow]

I see. Well, the best option usually is a relatively cheap laptop and a gaming desktop.

Programming doesn't require a good GPU most of the time.

[midnight jungle]

I understand that for gaming i need a desktop

But i don't want one

[civic cloud]

TSMC totally said no

They have to use their allocated production, but they allowed them to push it back in time

[charred otter]

So these keys do not work

How do i fix

[earnest zenith]

Take it to an electronic store

[charred otter]

Mann

There isnt a way to clean it?

I wanna do it myself for free

[rapid lake]

They don’t register you mean?

[charred otter]

Ye

And for a few it typed the numbers above it

So i typed in "F" it Typed "f4"

[rapid lake]

It might have water damage. I wouldn’t bother since this keyboard is pretty cheap anyway

It’s a wireless right?

[charred otter]

That is the laptop keybaord

But like is there not a way to clean the water damage?

[rapid lake]

ohh

Did it even get water damage? I just guessed you might have dropped something on it

[charred otter]

Mountain dew

Probably the worst

I did managed to clean the 3 in the middle

So there is a way

But idk how i did it

I literally just pulled the white things with a screwdriver a tiny bit and it worked

[rapid lake]

You need to turn it off and let it try dry for one or two days

Get the battery out and put it in the sunlight

On another note

Wtf is this

Im ngl

It doesnt seem worth it but

If it is

Extremely small form factor computers, mainly used for office work.

[charred otter]

Are the decent?

[arctic yarrow]

Well, not for gaming.

[charred otter]

I wouldnt mind getting one to watch youtube on or something

I have a monitor, keyboard and mouse i could put it on

[arctic yarrow]

Then it would work very well for that. In fact, you could possibly mount it to the back of a tv

[charred otter]

Oooh

If it does youtube can i do discord on it?

[arctic yarrow]

Yup

[charred otter]

I mainly wanna get my laptop fixed because i want to use it for discord

[arctic yarrow]

It's basically a computer without a discrete gpu.

[charred otter]

Oh ok

I'll look into getting one, but honestly by time i get a job I'd probably have better options

[civic cloud]

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, there's definitely more powerful options, but if you want to have a very compact option for basic computer tasks that's a good choice.

My laptop only really ran minecraft but i rarely ever play it and i recently reset my laptop deleting it lol

Hi so I uh just finished building my pc and connected a flash drive with windows 10 in it but it says "no device drivers were found"

[brave field]

The device driver message only pops up if you click the button to check for drivers. Proceed with normal installation without clicking it and you should be good

If no drives are showing up in the menu at all, make sure your drives are properly connected and your UEFI recognizes them, either as simply connected, or potential boot options (don't set them as boot options though)

aliexpress is good if you buy from sellers with good reviews

Your router is very slow at restarting?

Or maybe you changed settings to the SSID not showing up anymore

[rapid lake]

No it usually restarts just fine, as for the latter I don’t know how that might have happened, I’ve reset the router to default settings multiple times and never faced this problem

Even manually connecting doesn’t work

maybe the port just got gunked up and the cable doesn't connect all the way

see if u can clean it with a needle

[frigid echo]

also check to see if it's the cable itself cables can go bad too

Needle will damage the port

Use a vacumn cleaner with thin nossle instead ,it will suck out the dust particles easily

I had the same issue until i cleaned the charging port

Can someone help me choose a good VPN primarily for gaming? There's so many and i am confused to as which one is actually good.

[cold elbow]

free > Windscribe
paid > nord

[twin badger]

Eh, Nord is a bit pricy

[brave field]

Why are you using a VPN for gaming? You might be able to get a legitimate low latency option elsewhere if it is just to change your public IP in peer to peer games

[twin badger]

such as?

[brave field]

Setting up your own Wireguard server on a VPS somewhere. You won't have to rely on the company juggling thousands of other users, but it might not be a worthwhile fit if you're doing things other than just changing what your public IP appears as

[twin badger]

What the hell is a wireguard server and vps?

Like, i am pretty uneducated on these things, i just need something that doesnt require too much hassle and works properly

[brave field]

I'm sorry, didn't mean for it to come off that way.

If Windscribe doesn't do it, give ProtonVPN and Mullvad a try.

[twin badger]

Well, apparently proton VPN isnt too good speed wise

[fervent granite]

proton works fine for me

I use it for torrenting and it's pretty good; it's privacy policy is also pog

[twin badger]

I need it primarily for gaming

[cold elbow]

well then windscribe is free if you know how to set it up

i used it before using nord
and im only using nord now because the company offered me an account.

windscribe givers you like 15GB per account per month (you can create another and keep logging in and out) and you can set it up by the "split tunneling" feature to only consume data by the game and anything else running not going to use the VPN
which means only the game gets VPN access and that allows you to consume very little data.

What is the advantage of some Python libraries using functions that can accept a naked dictionary as a parameter when the original developer has specifically made classes so you don't pass dictionaries all the time?

Do I use the PublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions(id=) class they created specifically for this but never mention in the docs, or the example code's ({"public_key:" b"user_id"})?

[arctic yarrow]

Probably additional functionality built into those classes and methods to allow empty dictionaries to be filled, at least that's my guess. IDK, I'm still learning it.

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting the Ryzen 9 7900x CPU when it drops in late September, I was wondering if my motherboard is compatible with it or if I have to buy a whole new motherboard and swap out everything and re-install Windows 10 OS and buy an activation key as well due to my activation key being linked to my current Motherboard(ASUS ROG Strix B450-F/Has AM4 Chipset), any advice or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

[vapid grove]

Different sockets, and you can't use DDR5 on a B450. Going to need new motherboard and RAM. Pretty sure you can use the same Windows activation code if its not an OE version.

[rose moon]

Damn, where can I go to check my activation code for my Windows 10 OS? I bought a key from a 3rd party website for cheap

[vapid grove]

type slmgr /dli in the command prompt

should say either oem or retail

[rose moon]

It's Retail Channel

[rose moon]

Would my current Motherboard be able to be upgraded to the Ryzen 9 5900x or 5950x? (ASUS ROG B450-F)

[vapid grove]

Yeah 5xxx is AM4

Should’ve used the activation script on GitHub for free instead

Nasty display stuff. Some displays can be detected while off, some are detected only when on, and some are detected even without power. Some stop being detected for a few milliseconds when turning on/off.

You can lessen the glitching or any freezes by trying to not use exclusive fullscreen programs and keeping your display refresh rates as multiples of each other (in case you're using 1703 or earlier). Can't get rid of it fully though

but it can be less than ideal if he has to take the laptop somewhere so i mentioned that also

He just said his laptop screen is glitching around when he turns it off

And then it's still connected

[lost fossil]

do you take that laptop anywhere?

not really

well when i cut off power for the other display, my screen starts glitching sort of flickering

and the laptop still detects the other screen as detected

so either i have to remove the hdmi or i have to change display mode from extended to duplicate

removing hdmi often will make the port loose

so i was wondering whats wrong

Turn off power as in power button on the monitor or pulling the plug?

Have a fairly serious question to ask here, hopefully it's normal. If not, I dunno...

So I'm trying to fix VR "jitter" I've been having for quite some time. Just now, I let my PC idle for ~5 mins, and I saw the "System" process jump up in the list and start using a decent amount of my CPU (like 7%) with a very high power usage. Is this normal to happen?

I managed to let it sit again, and this is what the process does after sitting idle for a few mins

[brave field]

Normal-ish

System does very questionable things if you leave your PC alone for a while

Seems longer than 5 minutes usually, though. Does it happen in the same timespan on any other systems, if you have them?

[jovial tide]

I don't have any other system, but in this case, it's around every 5 mins it does this

[cold elbow]

If you have a hard disk connected then it might be just defragment

Or any other shit that windows need to finish but don't want to annoy you... So it's doing it while idle.

I need help with this not sure what i should do?

[cold elbow]

Restart your pc

[vernal bloom]

Done it

[cold elbow]

Do it again

[vernal bloom]

Just did now the notification os gone

@cold elbow you think its a good idea to get window 11 on gaming pc?

[cold elbow]

No

It's not necessarily now

Unless you have 12th gen intel cpu

[twin badger]

And what if you have a 12th gen intel cpu?

You get some sort of performance boost?

[cold elbow]

yes it is more optimized for the E-cores that comes with it

[twin badger]

Well, i'll stick with AMD either way

Dont like how windows 11 looks like

[sour marsh]

If you're aiming for AM5, They likely will lock out DDR4 from AM5

[twin badger]

Thats been known for a while

I am aiming for something from 5000 series, i simply dont see a point in getting the "newest and greatest", if it also requires upgrading motherboard and RAM

[sour marsh]

aiming for 5800X3D

sadly $500 is a bit too much for me

[brave field]

It goes well, Veronica. How are you?

[fervent granite]

My man cookie really got left on read

[cold elbow]

I hope this is not real

[tame current]

I think the lifespan of phones, gadgets or even console controllers are reduced so that companies will sell more of those

[covert yew]

My PS4 controller's analog stick is already drifting on its own only after few years, my bro's PS4 controller is suffering the same while PS2 controllers could last longer without issues

[latent spire]

Console Controllers for sure, i've gone through so many PS4 controllers in the life span of my PS4

[tame current]

Not to mention PS2 games are harder on the buttons

[covert yew]

My 9 yr old laptop even though I joke about it, still runs smoothly
When the battery is dying u can buy one for 20 bucks

[latent spire]

even through normal gaming the Triggers always got fucky with me

[tame current]

Such as games which require players to repeatedly spam buttons or press buttons fast which are way less frequent in newer games.

[covert yew]

Games like far cry 3 literally ask you to 'smash the spacebar'

[tame current]

What's next? Phones and tablets will become irreparable?

[covert yew]

Its already happening

[latent spire]

i think/Hope we wont ever reach that point completely

i know Apple fucks people over with repairs

[tame current]

That's a way to get around repair warranties

[covert yew]

Others are following

[tame current]

And I believe PS4 controllers are not just the controllers suffering from drift issue

Unless XB1 and Switch owners can prove it false

My iPad already scared me when I was unable to unlink my card due to a bug

[latent spire]

Switch Joycons are dog ass

they've been Notorious for drift issues for years

[tame current]

Oh my

[latent spire]

and Nintendo just says "Send to us we'll fix it or Fuck you buy a new pair"

type Joycon in the google search bar and the 2nd result is "Joycon Drift"

[tame current]

Just did

[latent spire]

Switch is a good console, just buy a Pro controller

which is just "Xbox controller but we put a Nintendo logo so its different see?"

[tame current]

Jeez, I can't imagine how long PS5 and XBX/S controllers will last

Probably shorter than the previous gen

[latent spire]

the PS5 i can see the controllers not lasting long

but the XBX ones i can see being fine mainly because they didnt change much

[tame current]

I see

And is it just me or prices of OS(Windows 10) are on their way on getting out of hand?

I was thinking that one payment for lifetime might justify their prices?

[cold elbow]

this is why you should not get yourself in any eco-system, any cheap keyboard can last for decades
I have a Logitech G19 from 2010 and still working just fine with heavy daily use...

companies like Nintendo care first about profit then about profit then about profit then about how to screw you up and profit more

they can spend extra few cents to give you better controller that will not drift after few weeks of use but they would not do that.

[cold elbow]

i dont think i will ever pay for a windows license
if they want me to pay then they need to remove all their bloatware and ads...

if they force them on me i will keep using it for free and hide the watermark with a script.
MS knows that the majority of their casual users are using it for free but they profit from companies and OEMs. and yes they charge them a lot because they can.

what else you gonna do? use linux? are you insane?

[tame current]

And if I'm not mistaken, the W10's built-in antivirus seems too basic and antivirus software require separate subscription fees

And many gamers complain about Windows updates degrading their game performance, especially speed

[civic cloud]

W10 antivirus is totally fine

[cold elbow]

nope

[civic cloud]

Shut it melon

It is

[cold elbow]

it is just "better than nothing"

[tame current]

Microsoft locked most of the MS office features behind license fee. You can't even type anything in unlicensed W10 MS office

[cold elbow]

if you are careful enough then you dont have to worry

[civic cloud]

bruh

[cold elbow]

but if your grandma using the computer then you better get her a decent anti-virus

[civic cloud]

The others do the exact same shit while costing big monies

[cold elbow]

imo, custom DNS is more important than an Anti-virus.

[civic cloud]

There's like 3 which are actively better than win10 antivirus

[tame current]

As a flight simmer who constantly looks for flight sim add-ons, I'm sure that I'm gonna need something better than the licensed W10's antivirus

[cold elbow]

google exists :D

[civic cloud]

"oh no, a company wants money for their products"

[cold elbow]

bit defender is great and guess what? it is free.

[civic cloud]

Bit Defender can suck my left nut

[cold elbow]

why would you want that weirdo

[civic cloud]

no u
