of course there's no simple way to automatically block all music

argh

[analog wharf]

same happened to me

[fervent granite]

I wouldn't mind it so much if they didn't recommend music I've already listened to like 3 years ago

[snow rover]

i've never listened to music so all the recommendations are just trending music

like just why

i don't want this shit in my feed

it's in youtube's interest to keep people on the platform as much as possible

feed being full of shit i'm never going to watch isn't exactly conducive to keeping me on the platform

[hexed crystal]

just got into 3d modelling with blender

[arctic yarrow]

How's the temps?

[hexed crystal]

stable

my thermals are fine

[zealous raft]

"I'm gonna use my pc to the fullest" that's like just a crazy amount.

[analog wharf]

AMD experience unfortunately

Drivers are improving but still quite bad sometimes, having to deal with drivers timing out and crashes until I DDU etc

[unreal iron]

Cookie been away a while frfr

@arctic yarrow can you help me fix my pc

I may or may not have broken it

[arctic yarrow]

What did you break?

[unreal iron]

I dont know

[arctic yarrow]

What is it doing?

[unreal iron]

So background, I had some power fluctuations when I uh bumped the outlet

Twice

[arctic yarrow]

Ah. Is it not powering up?

[unreal iron]

It does but it gave beep codes for Gpu

I reseated gpu

Now it boots but if I hit GO it will fail and give beep code again

And I have to re seat gpu

I know that it's failing to load the os and I need to turn on Legacy

[arctic yarrow]

Do you have onboard video?

[unreal iron]

The settings have been reset and I need help setting them back to whatever gets me to boot

On board? Like Mobo?

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, or on your cpu

[unreal iron]

Mobo has an hdmi yes

How does a cpu have an hdmi port that would be weird

[arctic yarrow]

What I meant to say is does your cpu have an integrated gpu.

[unreal iron]

Idk

[arctic yarrow]

What's the cpu?

[unreal iron]

I dont know

[arctic yarrow]

Hmm. is it intel or amd?

[unreal iron]

Intel

[arctic yarrow]

What I'd like to know is does it post and go to the OS when the graphics card is removed.

You most likely have an integrated gpu

So let's try that real quick.

[unreal iron]

Plug into that and press go?

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, plug your monitor into the onboard hdmi port, remove the graphics card, then boot it up.

LMK what happens.

[unreal iron]

On it rn

Hmm

Beep code for video

[arctic yarrow]

Same beep code?

[unreal iron]

1 long 3 short

It's either video or ram

But it works when I repeated gpu so I thought that's what it was

[arctic yarrow]

What's the brand of motherboard?

[unreal iron]

Asus

[arctic yarrow]

Was the monitor turned off when the pc booted up, or turned on?

[unreal iron]

It's been on this whole time

It beeps and no video

[arctic yarrow]

Ok. Try reseating the ram.

[unreal iron]

Without the gpu?

[arctic yarrow]

For now yes.

[unreal iron]

Beep code no video

[arctic yarrow]

Ok, let's put the graphics card back in it, and check the default video device in the bios.

[unreal iron]

I have a backup gpu for testing, but it won't be good if I try to game with it

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, let's test it with the backup

[unreal iron]

It boots

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, that's a dinky little thing, but it should suffice for troubleshooting if it's functional.

Is it beeping?

[unreal iron]

No. Bios screen same as the other gpu

[arctic yarrow]

Ok, what's the default video device selected?

[unreal iron]

Uh idk

Cookie knows this screen better than me so I will send you photos of what you tell me to

[arctic yarrow]

Hmm, are you able to jump into a VC and stream your camera? I can't see those images too well.

[unreal iron]

Record how

Less brightness?

[arctic yarrow]

I meant to stream your camera, sorry

[unreal iron]

I'm on my phone can I do that

[arctic yarrow]

let me check

[unreal iron]

What room 1000?

[unreal iron]

@tropic star when feeding a game through a capture card, do I want a headset with mic attached to the PC or the console

[lilac heath]

Anyone else facing sudden drop in performance and stutters after updating to the new nvidia driver?

[sour marsh]

I'd say valve is just cheap and doesn't wanna deal with our toll system

[granite violet]

is the valve steam deck still worth buying?

[cold elbow]

yes\

[cyan basin]

anyone know how to cheat ixl without photomath

on pc

[snow rover]

what is ixl

[acoustic ridge]

Who need a website made 😄

[plucky raft]

@acoustic ridge what kind of website?

[acoustic ridge]

A website on the interent lmao, i know css js and html

Coding 😀

[plucky raft]

Oh good luck

[acoustic ridge]

Lmaoo

[plucky raft]

Why you laughing

[brave field]

@acoustic ridge designing a site to have a static image as a background that spans the entire viewport, but also have a navbar, how do you handle it?

Do you put the background in the body element? Make a giant div and stuff the site's content into that?

[acoustic ridge]

Lmaooo, never really said i was that goood 😭 but i would assume you put some into body and youd need some js for that so you would have to link it in the heading, not a div, a div is to kinda sort a website.

[acoustic ridge]

Ive been coding for like 2 weeks now

[fervent granite]

weebly is good enough

[brave field]

if you have any tips, pls share

[acoustic ridge]

Hmm?

[acoustic ridge]

Nah 😭😭😭

[ionic thistle]

y'all think i should get this or a series X ?

[twin badger]

Thats not a lot of storage

Also, price in usd?

[ionic thistle]

let me check rq

$561.14 CPU only

since i already have a monitor

[twin badger]

Meh, i would pass for that price

[ionic thistle]

while a series X is $508.20

[twin badger]

If you know games you wanna really play on series X, get that

[ionic thistle]

alr thanks

[fervent granite]

Series x is super dope

[lilac heath]

RX 6600 is the best budget gpu rn

Do not get 16 series or 3050

[twin badger]

If you are into older cards, 1080's/ti's are relatively cheap for the performance you are getting

[wispy mesa]

Depending on what the rest of the website is, both are applicable to a certain solution

[ionic thistle]

its a prebuilt one plus i low key prefer nvidia since im more used to it, its hard to find a prebuilt with that gpu tho

[lilac heath]

Nvidia fanboy

[lilac heath]

Idk why AMD gets criticised for poor driver updates whereas the latest nvidia driver caused major stutters so i had to roll back to the previous one

[ionic thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-perhaps-family-guy-thinking-gif-13587558

[lilac heath]

[ionic thistle]

i just dont use AMD cuz i have no clue about the company while nvidia i know for a long time

[civic cloud]

That's dumb

[ionic thistle]

sadly, i agree

[wispy mesa]

me with iphone

[fervent granite]

at least the reasoning makes sense and isn’t just “amd bad nvidia good”

[snow rover]

amd bad nvidia good

[sour marsh]

Nvidia marketing team bad

[ionic thistle]

so i plan to get the PC since i saw the gpu can run modern games like cyberpunk at 1080 ultra at like 40 fps while high at like 50-60fps (which is enough for my 60hz monitor)

[snow rover]

the pc is fine i just think it's a bit overpriced

only 8gb ram and 256gb storage is just bad

you're going to need to immediately upgrade both

it's just a pc built for profit with garbage components for everything other than cpu and gpu

[jovial tide]

Hi everyone! I need some help asap.
So i was playing cod and the D button on my keyboard started acting funny. Its not really working. Sometimes it do type a D sometimes nothing. Is it dead?

Its mechanic

[snow rover]

probably

is it a hotswap keyboard?

[jovial tide]

Nah

Its a White Shark Shinobi

blue switches

And no hot swap

[snow rover]

that's unfortunate

[jovial tide]

I use it with xbox

[cold elbow]

Spray it with perfume

[snow rover]

you can just try pushing down the stem and squirting some alcohol inside but that's about all you can do

[cold elbow]

That should fix it

[snow rover]

unless you desolder the switch

[lilac heath]

[jovial tide]

Should i rly spray it?

[cold elbow]

Yup

[jovial tide]

This sounds goofy

[cold elbow]

Make sure it gets to the inside of the switch

[jovial tide]

and will it not ruin anything?

[cold elbow]

Why would it

It's alcohol

[snow rover]

idk about perfume but alcohol won't

[jovial tide]

I dont think i have the balls for that

[cold elbow]

Been cleaning my keyboards and mice like that for years

Recently my G403 and back to factory condition

[jovial tide]

My perfume does not have much alcohol

[cold elbow]

It doesn't matter

U see perfume is made to evaporate and leaving nothing behind

[lilac heath]

Series X will obviously perform much better than 1660super

[cold elbow]

Meanwhile, alcohol going to fix the contact point inside the switch

[ionic thistle]

yea but i'd have to buy the games that i already have again

[jovial tide]

Google said its good too

Soo ill try

[ionic thistle]

plus all the in game progress will be gone

[cold elbow]

[ionic thistle]

since i've been playing games at low low graphics

[lilac heath]

Dont get a prebuild then

[cold elbow]

A pre built with 1660 super?

They probably using garbage tier motherboard

[snow rover]

it says the components there

[ionic thistle]

da specs

[snow rover]

no name case and psu

8gb ram

256 ssd

cpu cooler isn't listed so probably stock

[cold elbow]

Yeah the bottom of the barrel motherboard

But it works™

Questionable PSU

[ionic thistle]

im getting the 16 gigs version

[ionic thistle]

i also plan to move my current ones to that so it doesnt really matter to me

[jovial tide]

Okay im doin it

[cold elbow]

How much is that again?

[ionic thistle]

is stock bad ?

[jovial tide]

I spraid it in

and spamming it with a toothpick to get it in

[ionic thistle]

561 usd iirc

[cold elbow]

Heck

[ionic thistle]

2k smth in myr

[cold elbow]

That is a lot

[lilac heath]

Get a better gpu

[snow rover]

stock cooler is usable but rather loud

[lilac heath]

Sell the 1660s

[cold elbow]

Can you upgrade the psu?

[ionic thistle]

maybe

[cold elbow]

Do that then

[ionic thistle]

or could i move my current one to that ?

[snow rover]

if you're upgrading everything why buy it in the first place

[jovial tide]

Melon, how much time untill it dries?

[ionic thistle]

since i got mine changed recently

[cold elbow]

What is your current?

[jovial tide]

Cuz it aint goin away

[cold elbow]

Just use it right away

[ionic thistle]

wait let me check rq

[jovial tide]

And how much should i spray?

Like i sprayed 5 i think

[cold elbow]

If you want it gone fast use a hair dryer

[jovial tide]

Naaah gotta do it sneaky

My mom wouldnt understand what im doing

[snow rover]

hmm yes i will hair dryer my keyboard

abs starts to warp at like 70c

[jovial tide]

Since she aint that tech knowing

[ionic thistle]

shit i forgot one sec lemme find pics of the receipt

[cold elbow]

U dont have to turn on the heat on your dryer

[snow rover]

there are hair dryers with no heat?

[cold elbow]

Yes

Wtf

All of them

[wispy mesa]

wait that isnt true, it leaves the smelly stuff behind the aclho is just used to move the smelly stuff

[cold elbow]

Do u even hair dryer brooo

[snow rover]

mine is just like hot as fuck or just off

[jovial tide]

Well its the same kinda

But it gets the D a lot more

[cold elbow]

[ionic thistle]

ffs

i cleared my history

i got it changed in july

[jovial tide]

Chill im not at the children playground

Yet

[cold elbow]

You have the power supply

Just read what it says

[jovial tide]

Okay its not working

[ionic thistle]

its in the pc

[cold elbow]

So

[ionic thistle]

it got no mirror

plus im too lazy to take it out

since its under the desk

[cold elbow]

Welll

Good luck

[jovial tide]

its strange. If i push it down hard it works

[ionic thistle]

lemme check the history on my phone

i remember googling it

[cold elbow]

Mechanical switches are weird

[snow rover]

the contacts inside the switch are probably messed up then

[jovial tide]

Should i keep spraying it?

[snow rover]

which means new switch or toss the keyboard

[ionic thistle]

i found it

[cold elbow]

Nah it should fix it right away if you have contact issue

[jovial tide]

F it ill get a hot swap next year

[ionic thistle]

its the kingses ks 600w power supply

[jovial tide]

I have 100 euros saved up

[cold elbow]

It might be a mechanical issue, not an electronic issue

[jovial tide]

Any good hot swap sugessions?

[snow rover]

if the pcb was broken it wouldn't act like that

[ionic thistle]

this

[cold elbow]

Wtf is kingses

[jovial tide]

Imma get banana split switches in it

[snow rover]

kbd67

[ionic thistle]

probably a malaysian brand or smth

[snow rover]

i spent like 250 total though

[lilac heath]

And what are ur current pc specs?

[cold elbow]

Then idk how to evaluate that

[ionic thistle]

geforce gt 730 and core i5 6400 with 8 gigs of ram

not sure about the motherboard

lemme check rq

[cold elbow]

It might be a bomb or a rebrand of something good

[lilac heath]

600w for that

[jovial tide]

Can you send a link? And does it work with xbox?

[snow rover]

every usb keyboard works with xbox

[jovial tide]

Good to know

So can you send a link?

[cold elbow]

Just buy a reliable keyboard

[lilac heath]

Windows on eggsbox when

[cold elbow]

If it's really 600

[ionic thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/kid-awkward-worried-nervous-embarrassed-gif-4782036

[lilac heath]

[ionic thistle]

its working tho so we gucci

[cold elbow]

I would never risk buying an unknown power supply

[jovial tide]

Is it worth to get some special switches or should i just get standard reds?

[snow rover]

https://kbdfans.com/collections/diy-kit/products/kbd67lite

[cold elbow]

There's a fine line between working and killing your pc components
That's power supplies for you

[ionic thistle]

oh

[cold elbow]

Or maybe burning your house down

[jovial tide]

Cuz special switches are hella expensive

[ionic thistle]

my mum is friends with the worker there so i assume it should be fine

[snow rover]

don't buy overpriced switches

anyone asking upwards of a dollar per switch is just scamming you tbh

[ionic thistle]

standard reds

[jovial tide]

So should i just stay with the standard reds they give?

[snow rover]

who is they

[jovial tide]

Most likely when i buy one it will have red switches

They is the company i will get from

[snow rover]

standard reds are probably fine especially when lubed

[jovial tide]

Okay

Thanks for the help everyone

[cold elbow]

Cant u like removed a switch from the for example (pause / break) switch that no one use on keyboards and replace it with the D?

Why spending money at all

[ionic thistle]

so melon, u think i should move my psu into that pc or should i just leave it be and just transfer my disc drives

[jovial tide]

Not hot swappable

[cold elbow]

Cant you upgrade the 500 PSU from their site?

[ionic thistle]

nope its on shopee

[jovial tide]

If it were hot swap it would be the first thing i do

[ionic thistle]

basically like amazon ( i think)

the reviews are quite good

[cold elbow]

Ok, do u know about building computers?

[ionic thistle]

not alot tbh

[cold elbow]

That's enough

Build your own system or look up the used market

[lilac heath]

And what about warranty since u told that its a used prebuild

[cold elbow]

Wait what

It's used????

[ionic thistle]

oh its a new prebuilt

[ionic thistle]

nope

[ionic thistle]

i have no clue how to tho

i know how to remove the gpu

ram

and cpu but other than that

[cold elbow]

You swapped power supply and know how to swap drives
Know how to install Windows
That's pretty much all you need to learn

[ionic thistle]

i have no clue

[cold elbow]

A simple youtube video should get you going

[ionic thistle]

oh i took it to a workshop to swap the psu

[cold elbow]

And we are here to help

There are a lot of bad things in that pre-built already

[lilac heath]

Nvm confused with something else

[ionic thistle]

such as ?

ive never really bought a new pc before

my current one was from a old internet cafe that i used to go to

[cold elbow]

Two things u need to pick properly are the power supply and case
The motherboard is a bit important also

Who knows maybe you can find a good used and fully assembled pc

[ionic thistle]

i think it might not be a prebuilt actually

[cold elbow]

It's

They usually send you the boxes with it so that is normal

[ionic thistle]

ahhh okay

the reviews are mostly 5 stars

and the lower ones are usually due to shipping issues

[cold elbow]

Yes it supposed to work out of the box

That is not the issue

The issue is the parts themselves

[ionic thistle]

also the case is 1ST PLAYER T3 OR X7 it seems

ill ask the seller more when i finally have the money

thanks for your time man

[cold elbow]

X7 is awful

T3 is less awful

[ionic thistle]

should i change the case ?

a PC case shouldnt be that expensive right ?

[cold elbow]

nope but should be built to modern standards

if you think of the entire build, nothing it too bad but it add up

like wtf even is this ram

no name which is terrible if you wanna upgrade it in the future

psu is questionable

motherboard is gigabyte ☠️

cooler might be bad

for the case it looks ok but it might be bundles with these cheap constant full speed fans that I hate.

[lost fossil]

that gigabyte roast

[arctic yarrow]

TBF, gigabyte has become garbage tier.

[lost fossil]

you can always rewire their molex connector to work at 7v instead of 12

[cold elbow]

done that before

[analog wharf]

Especially their psus

[snow rover]

the uhh

[brave field]

what sort of computery nonsense can you do to an old truck?

I'm thinking adding a second battery, AC outlet, air compressor, fluid tank, and some other stuff DIY'd and duct taped together, but what sort of fun stuff could be done with computers or robotics?

[wispy mesa]

Cellular router, entertainment system

Integrated home assistant, link up the door windows to be automatic, lights other buttons etc

All controllable with an app

Smart truck (:

And locking system

[lost fossil]

i got the new youtube layout today

dark mode performs worse

[wispy mesa]

same it looks like the new roblox

[cold elbow]

I checked it today and all it shows are videos that I have already seen

[fervent granite]

why do they keep making ui's bigger?

[civic cloud]

People get older and blinder

[lost fossil]

funnily enough i bitched about it today with exact same reasoning

mfs make ui for blind people these days

like aliexpress russia where the mobile app can only fit 2 items on the screen

bc everything is just so big

[civic cloud]

That's the worst

4 items on one page and then you have to load the next page

Which takes like 30 seconds

[lost fossil]

stop

[fervent granite]

and for mobile users it looks like, not sure why they felt the need to make everything with buttons

[cold elbow]

Stop complaining boomers

You will get used to it in no time

[fervent granite]

nope

I still haven't forgiven youtube for getting rid of this based ui

[analog wharf]

seems the new layout breaks youtube redux for me

[twin badger]

I don't mind the new youtube UI

Guess i am not one of those that gets overly attached to old things and then has a breakdown when a change takes a place in

[lost fossil]

it's not that i don't like the new ui, but the way the background around the video reflects the video like some ambilight, that actually hurts performance

[wispy mesa]

You can turn that off in settings

It hurt my eyes a little bit

[lost fossil]

[civic cloud]

Maybe in app settings instead of video settinga

[wispy mesa]

it was there before, see its off for me

[twin badger]

Performance...? It works just like it did for me before

[lost fossil]

[twin badger]

Yeah well... didnt really change anything for me

[ionic thistle]

yall for some reason xbox game bar record button doesnt work anymore

it used to work

now its greyed out

cant click on it

[celest grotto]

I just opened this channel for curiousity and i think i just found gold

[celest grotto]

It's just muscle memory and probably really minor inconvenience when just when you start getting comfortable they decided to change it again

[lost fossil]

wdym

[celest grotto]

An extension that will increase performance sounds good

[lost fossil]

for now i switched to light mode and enabled dark reader

@lost fossil you can finally take some dickpics with that :D

Just like huawei

nvm just youtubes confusing new layout

[twin badger]

oh fuck, not again

[cold elbow]

do this

then

[twin badger]

wow... 6 gigabytes...

crazy.

[cold elbow]

[analog wharf]

ignore d drive

[twin badger]

I will just go thru it with a WinDirStat

And see what kinda shit i have on my main drive

[cold elbow]

u need more storage

[analog wharf]

soon hopefully

[cold elbow]

or do a cleanup

[twin badger]

Me too...

[cold elbow]

you will find a lot of useless crap

[twin badger]

Gotta think about getting another drive

[analog wharf]

yes same

[cold elbow]

wait for black friday

[twin badger]

when is that?

[cold elbow]

next month

[twin badger]

[cold elbow]

usually you see a lot of SSD sales during that

[twin badger]

I mean... how cheap will that make the storage?

[analog wharf]

i'll need to get something soon

[cold elbow]

got me a samsung 980 1TB for 80$ last year

and i already need more

[twin badger]

Pain

[cold elbow]

i have 2TB HDD that im not using

but i hate the noise they make

[analog wharf]

I dont really care for NVMe's that much though since im looking more for cheaper multiple tb storage ( around 2-4tb) rather than speed, so hopefully HDDs go cheap too

Already have a 980 non pro as my boot drive

[cold elbow]

you can probably get two of them and RAID them

[twin badger]

Mine is only a tiny bit noisy when starting up games installed on it or doing some sort of file transfer/drive checkup

[cold elbow]

im just too sensitive for noise lol

you can barely hear the system running

[twin badger]

Then ig the GPU coil whine is a big compromise for you

[cold elbow]

so the only thing you hear is the hard drive

[cold elbow]

my old 1070 ti used to have it so i replaced it

no coil whine anymore

[analog wharf]

coil whine not a big issue for me

[twin badger]

My card did too, had to replace with some aliexpress fans

[twin badger]

Its not a big issue as long as you wear a headset

like, all the time

I kinda dont

[analog wharf]

pretty much

[twin badger]

sometimes i dont want to have it on

[cold elbow]

why replace the fans to solve coil whine??

[twin badger]

Because oiling didnt help

[cold elbow]

what

wait so your fans used to make coil noise?

[twin badger]

Sort of

[cold elbow]

eh

[twin badger]

they sounded worn out

[cold elbow]

coil whine is usually the card itself making noise

[twin badger]

huh

[cold elbow]

yup

[twin badger]

Pretty sure its the fan mechanism inside

[cold elbow]

nope

[twin badger]

wym

[cold elbow]

https://youtu.be/T7HsXHqtxrI

[analog wharf]

my 6600xt stays quiet when im not gaming but when i am i have my headphones on so it doesnt bother me much

you'll mostly be noticing coil whine when playing intensive games

[twin badger]

Ok its not QUITE like that

its uhh, a different noise

[cold elbow]

all my pc fans are off when its idle
this is how quiet my pc is

btw coil whine on cards does not mean its bad or dying... it is totally fine

[analog wharf]

for me only GPU fan is off

[twin badger]

I am not thinking of it like that

[cold elbow]

you can fix that

[analog wharf]

fan noise dont bother me too much

[cold elbow]

even when you are trying to sleep

also fans running all the time means more dust

lowering the fan life in the process

[lapis haven]

and wait ~1 month to complete

HDD user moment

[twin badger]

I am an HDD user and it took me about 20 seconds

[cold elbow]

it does not take long if you use the tool from time to time

[lapis haven]

did you also clean windoze update leftovers?

in admin mode

[twin badger]

Yes

[lapis haven]

thats what takes ages to complete

[analog wharf]

windows update leftovers arent that large unless you are constantly updating and only using the tool every few months

[cold elbow]

they are large after a major update

[twin badger]

20 gigs of temp files, interesting

[cold elbow]

it save the roll back files

[twin badger]

Its mostly downloads though

[cold elbow]

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution

go there

delete everything

it might stop you tho

[analog wharf]

just run the tool everytime you update

[cold elbow]

yup

[twin badger]

Thats a 103 mb folder

[cold elbow]

If I want to stream 1080p at 60 FPS, what upload speed should I have?

[fervent granite]

diskpart also works

after you've selected your drive you can use remove letter and assign letter

[cold elbow]

how to know that im a linux user without saying that im a linux user

[fervent granite]

[civic cloud]

Ok igor

[lost fossil]

labs

[lost fossil]

thats a lot of fps

[arctic yarrow]

10mbps minimum. 20 recommended.

[cold elbow]

this looks badass

[lost fossil]

idk mang the smooth look of 6000 series is

[cold elbow]

But this looks evil

[flint viper]

I get like 120Mbps upload lol

[arctic yarrow]

You should be good then.

I'd even say you're good for 4k60 streaming, provided your hardware is capable of encoding it.

[lost fossil]

yt or twitch?

[frigid echo]

oh no! They are using a functional Power connection! Such reasonability! D:

[plush moat]

Can anyone help me looking for a pre built pc

[lapis haven]

If I want to help you, I'd say dont buy pre-builts.

[lilac heath]

But not everyone has the time and knowledge to assemble a full PC all by themselves

[fervent granite]

You could always learn though

I find most people wanting to learn this stuff don't even take the time to google themselves, and expect others to do it for them

[twin badger]

I wonder how much the lack of GDDR6X memory will impact the performance

[cold elbow]

Would say AMD naming is cringe

[twin badger]

Cringe or not, performance matters more

They could call it whatever they want

As long as its bang for the buck

[craggy thicket]

Reminder for @lost fossil: <#tech-coding-math message>
Set <t:1666954154:R>

[cold elbow]

Naming is a huge factor in brand recognition

If people can't recall the name of your product or at least do not know which one is which then you are failing

Look at the sony phone line up that even enthusiasts can't tell which model is better or newer than the other

[lost fossil]

@civic cloud take pic of pc

[cold elbow]

Also gus Halloween is over

[civic cloud]

@lost fossil

[twin badger]

An extra letter really isnt gonna destroy their brand recognition

[cold elbow]

But it will confuse customers
Pike why they couldn't choose xt and non xt?

Or add an extra number how they used to do like 7750 and 7780

[lost fossil]

[civic cloud]

@lost fossil heppy?

[lost fossil]

YouTube

[civic cloud]

Yes

[lapis haven]

wow

[civic cloud]

Wat

[lapis haven]

nothing just starring

[lost fossil]

then i suggest streaming at 1440, that forces youtube to use the vp9 codec which looks way better

the bitrate would be 20-25mbps

[flint viper]

I’ll test it out. Thx.

[civic cloud]

my eyes are up here

[lost fossil]

noone was looking at your eyes gauss

[lapis haven]

[civic cloud]

fucking perverts

[granite oak]

Weirdo

[twin badger]

An extra X just means faster, nothing confusing on my end. With that being said, i think what made Ryzen cpus popular is also their naming, since now you got ryzen 3,5,7,9 just like intel, thus making it way easier which product is in which category of performance

[sour marsh]

Ok I finally got time to see the AMD presentation

WHY ARE THEY PROMOTING 8K

also they're really selling on 8 pin being the godly power cable

instead they could have just said "we decided not to change our powercable" instead of trying to lowball on Nvidia

Also with all the things they said to like mock Nvidia, but didn't even show stats for 4090 vs 7900XTX

I do gotta give them creds for sticking with processor 5mm die

[lost fossil]

5mm is a big die

[sour marsh]

hold on

lemme watch it again

wait wait

That's not full 8k...

maybe I am seeing things

[cold elbow]

i never watch any of these companies' presentations and you should not waste your time either

[twin badger]

Would it be worth it to go from a 1500X to 5600?

[lost fossil]

yes

but why not 5800x3d

obviously it's more expensive but it's a dead end platform so wouldn't it make more sense to go with the best option

[twin badger]

No need for such a powerful CPU

And also the budget

[arctic yarrow]

5700x

It's exactly like a 5800x, but underclocked.

[frigid echo]

not too bad an approach. Especially with the 5800 3xd still beating the latest gen CPU's currently.

for gaming as a refrence

[arctic yarrow]

That's gonna be on my upgrade path. Ether that or the 5950x for the lulz.

[twin badger]

Its good, but i know damn well a ryzen 5 would be sufficient for my needs

[brave field]

$135 5700X wen?

We see a $160 5800X today, it must be soon

[lilac heath]

Yes no point in giving free marketing to their competitors
Nvidia also never mentioned AMD in its presentation tho

[civic cloud]

Wat? Where

[lost fossil]

well amd never mentioned novideo either... directly, anyway

[lost fossil]

it arrived

Huh?

I actually need help with a Q

[plucky raft]

Man you are so lazy that you don't bother to write "question"

Also people wont help you yo solve your homework

[latent turret]

Everyone does that 😂

Someone that is nice might want to

[plucky raft]

Maybe they help you when you are stuck on a step

[latent turret]

Yeah I am

I don’t want the answer I just want to know where to start with part (a) aha

[high drum]

7900xtx is obvs less powerful but powerful enough to compete at a lower pricepoint

and more energy efficient

4090 is actually insane bro

[jovial tide]

Wasn't the 5800x3D CPU more powerful than the i9 12900k despite the lower price?

I mean, yeah the 12900k was targeted more towards enthusiasts but it was also a gaming CPU just like the 5800x3D

[high drum]

ryzen are always so competitive it wouldnt surprise me

that being said intel are fair with most of their pricing anyway

[sour marsh]

I still dislike the way the presented this.

[analog wharf]

Maybe in raster it will get close/on par to 4090

[analog wharf]

nvidias presentation wasnt much better

it was worse if anything feels like 80% of it was talking about other shit and 20% gpus, atleast amd was right to the point

[sour marsh]

Nvidia tried selling 8K gaming last time, guess what happened?

I am not praising Nvidia, They started this trend of crap

with the 8K gaming selling crap

[sour marsh]

Being right on point is nice, However it doesn't help their 8K advertising is the same trap Nvidia fell into

AMD did a better presentation overall, However I am still left a bit annoyed by a few things

They sold on the idea that "We will keep the 8 pin connectors guys!" as if 12W connector was actually bad

It was a poor nvidia jab, at least come up with an excuse that they didn't feel the need to upgrade to 12WHP Adapters

anyway I think I have repeated myself too many times, This is what happens post covid

[analog wharf]

Aslong as keeping 8 pin means it wont melt im fine

[sour marsh]

that is fine and all

but I wouldn't sell the 8 pin as " godly plug "

just say "We decided to use 8 pin"

[flint viper]

I was watching Netflix on my Xbox with a capture card passively plugged in and now my OBS is saying I have an HDCP lock. I wasn't even recording anything. Is there any way to fix this?

I didn't even have OBS open.

[lost fossil]

so, 6600m

don't mind the soap on these screenshots, i am using chrome remote desktop

[lost fossil]

i think apps like netflix require hdcp to be enabled so maybe it force enabled it for your xbox

[flint viper]

Thank god I fixed it

[lost fossil]

if you use hdmi 1.4, you could use a cheap hdmi splitter, these remove hdcp from the signal

[flint viper]

I almost had a heart attack

I’ll look for the HDCP thing you mentioned

[bronze wyvern]

so i was playing warzone and i realized i have about 80 to 90 fps on all low right? and i looked up a video to see what the fps should look like on my pc.. i watch the video and the average fps on low is about 110-120 fps

[civic cloud]

What CPU do you have

[bronze wyvern]

(gtx 1660 ti, ryzen 5 3600x, 16gb ram)

[bronze wyvern]

whats fsr

[jovial tide]

FidelityFX Super Resolution, basically upscaling an image from 1080p to higher resolutions with better performance than if you increased your resolution normally

from how i understand it

[analog wharf]

most true meme

its sad because 1080p and 1440p are still the most popular resolutions yet gpu manufacturers are out here showing 8k

plus PC gamers use monitors over TVs most of the time and super high resolutions is more of a tv thing, sure you find 4k monitors but its not as common as with TVs

most monitors are still 1080p/1440p

[light sinew]

4k monitors are fortunately getting cheaper but we're still not at the point where a smooth 4k capable desktop and monitor are standardized

It's still a pretty extreme luxury to make a setup like that

But now 8k exists the same was we saw 4k back in like 2013

So technologies doin its thing one day 4k will be the new 1080p

[snow rover]

with a normal size monitor, the pixel density is already good enough at 1440p, i don't see myself moving to 4k anytime soon

[light sinew]

Idek how well I would run 4k on my computer my monitor is 1440p

[analog wharf]

mine is 1080

but i use vsr to get it to 1440

[light sinew]

1080p is like standard now 1440p is the small step up and 4k is the luxury

[analog wharf]

pretty much

[light sinew]

8k isn't functional that's pretty much still experimental

[snow rover]

1440p is a lot more pixels than 1080p

[light sinew]

No movie or videogame without probably some modifications would let you play or watch in it

[snow rover]

it isn't a small upgrade

[light sinew]

Small step up as in price 1440p 144hz quality monitors can be found for only like $300

So it isn't crazy more than a good 1080 one

At say $250

[civic cloud]

Those are shit tho

[light sinew]

No they aren't

[civic cloud]

They are

[light sinew]

High end ips 144hz 1440p monitors can be found for $300-$400 easily

[civic cloud]

lmao no

[light sinew]

Maybe it's a your country thing

[civic cloud]

Nah Europe got AOC

[light sinew]

Aoc is fine

They aren't the best but good bang for the buck

I've found 1440p 144hz aoc monitors for $259

Amd that was years ago the technology only gets cheaper as it becomes common place

When 1440p becomes the new 1080

[civic cloud]

Yeah and those suck so

https://youtu.be/SN0CvLhksbM

[light sinew]

What fucking gucci burberry secret club monitors are you buying... every single 1440p 144hz ips I scroll through is $300 the most was like a $350 asus

Are you buying some drawing montior they use for art because those are usually 4k so idk why anyone would get one in 1440p if they are doing professional work on it

Oh no I'm mistaken, the $350 one is a 1440p ips 165hz

Not 144

You just got some overpriced monitors over there or something

I even found a 4k samsung 144hz ips for $600

That's expensive for a 27 inch monitor but it's 4k so that makes sense

I found an alienware 1440p for $700 but thats 240hz

Idk who tf needs 240hz lol

Competatives I guess

[twin badger]

Not quite, the difference between 1080p and 1440p is about 1.5x, while between 1080p and 2160p it's over 4 times

[snow rover]

read that again and think about it

[twin badger]

Whats there to think about?

The difference is not as big as it would be with something more high-end

[light sinew]

1440p is an upgrade but nowhere near 4k

[snow rover]

how can 2160p be over 4x more than 1080

the math doesn't check out

[twin badger]

Count the pixels

[snow rover]

i did

[light sinew]

Ohhh you don't know how pixels work

This makes a lot more sense now

[twin badger]

1920 x 1080 and 2160 x 3840

[snow rover]

it's exactly 4x

[twin badger]

Do the math

[snow rover]

not over 4x

[twin badger]

Jesus fucking christ

[lost fossil]

4096x2160 is more than 4x tho

but who tf uses 4096x2160

[cold elbow]

Ps users

[lost fossil]

ah right

[light sinew]

I guess it's a slightly wider monitor

[lost fossil]

[light sinew]

[twin badger]

Thats what this channel is about

@snow rover

2 times 2 is 4

[snow rover]

and 4 is not over 4

it's 4

[twin badger]

DUDE

[light sinew]

Nobody said over 4

[snow rover]

read again

[light sinew]

[twin badger]

I was doing the math quickly

[snow rover]

.

[twin badger]

Are you really gonna nitpick this shit?

[snow rover]

yes

[twin badger]

To win argument?

Fucking idiot

[light sinew]

You're right no need to be aggressive but you are in the wrong, didn't math it out and nit picking at a singular word

So it just makes you look bad instead of just accepting and moving on

[snow rover]

what?

[light sinew]

The only thing he could've changed was "it's 4 times" instead of "it's over 4 times" he understood what was actually right and just added a word by mistake

You didn't know how the pixels added up, so we showed you

Then you nipicked at his wording

[snow rover]

i know exactly how pixels work

[cold elbow]

[light sinew]

Well I guess you do now after my calculator screenshots

[snow rover]

but i'd really for you to show me where i was objectively wrong

[light sinew]

You were confused on how it could be 4x of 1080

[snow rover]

no, i was not

i said that 2160p being over 4x more than 1080p doesn't check out

which it objectively doesn't

[light sinew]

So yet again you are nit picking a singular word?

Are you like an english teacher or something

[snow rover]

well if you look at it in the context of that message, it isn't that nitpicky

it's a rather major point

[light sinew]

It's redundant to look like you were confused because he said an estimate instead of the actual value

You made yourself look like you had no clue by saying the math doesn't check out instead of just saying "it's not over it's exactly four" you made a big spectacle over the word over

[snow rover]

yes, i could've worded it better, hindsight 20/20

[light sinew]

I'm still wondering where all these Balenciaga 1440p monitors are that are a lot more than $300

Every single 1440p 144 ips ranges within the $300-$400 range nowadays

Other than maybe little niche brands like those people who make custom steampunk keyboards

[snow rover]

if you only look at 144hz then maybe yes

but the 1440p mid refresh rate category has everything between like 200 and 800 dollars

[light sinew]

144hz is what I was using as the metric

1440p 144hz montiors under $300 are usually va panels

And anything over $450 is a higher refresh rate for certain

[snow rover]

well yeah 165 and 170 but i'd put them in the same category

the cheapest reputable 1440p 240hz i can think of is the m27qx at around 450 dollars

[light sinew]

$450 is pretty good for 240 what's the catch? xD

[fervent granite]

is there a technical reason why the series x can't do hdr over resolutions lower than 4k?

seems like an arbitrary limitation to only allow hdr in 4k?

[tranquil jackal]

If i were to purchase an i9 laptop with weak specs, could I change them out? Cause I'm thinking it'll be cheaper than purchasing a laptop with the specs i want for even 50% of my pc

[light sinew]

The only simple swaps you can make with a laptop are RAM and hard drive storage

A graphics card would be a lot harder

Or something like that

[cold elbow]

I9 on a laptop means living with a space heater

That is either downclocked or thermal throttling

Or maybe power limited

[tranquil jackal]

Yup those parts

[light sinew]

Yea ram and storage aren't too bad

[tranquil jackal]

How? Is the power consumption the same as a desktops?

[cold elbow]

Hell no

[light sinew]

Regardless gamer laptops get enormously hot

I've had an RoG for a few years the shit idles at 76c

[cold elbow]

Also, laptop specs are misleading most of the time
U won't get the same performance as a desktop

[tranquil jackal]

Meh I'm not looking for a gaming laptop just something i can effectively run Adobe, VS and 3ds max on

[light sinew]

Ah

Get a mac lol

[cold elbow]

Go for something with AMD cpu

And maybe a 3050

[light sinew]

Yea amd is better than intel

[tranquil jackal]

Higher clock speeds and core count?

[cold elbow]

And power efficient

[tranquil jackal]

£1500+ for macbook pro

512gb ssd

🤨

[light sinew]

I was half kidding but yea macs are a decent option if you don't plan on playing games

[fervent granite]

Can confirm

[light sinew]

The prices get really steep though their extra storage is overpriced as shit

$600 for a tb ssd like fuck them sideways

[analog wharf]

get a mini itx

[fervent granite]

would definitely upgrade ram before storage though

[light sinew]

Ram is also overpriced

[cold elbow]

Isnt the mac mini 700$ ?

[light sinew]

Every apple extra you purchase has at least a 200% mark up

[fervent granite]

yeah but because it's soldered ram it's better to get as much as you need since you won't be able to get more after the fact

[light sinew]

Yea that's how they gouge you

I hate apple they just look pretty

Cunts make nothing repairable

[civic cloud]

Apple be like: 32gb ram? 500 extra pls

[light sinew]

It's ridiculous

[tranquil jackal]

Gonna be using it almost everywhere so option out the window

[light sinew]

32gb of ram for $500 like bruh in what world

[cold elbow]

It's like how they only offer 64gb and 256gb ipads

It's why i hate apple

[light sinew]

64 is pretty small nowadays

They shouldbhave a 128gb model too

[analog wharf]

Yea mini itx are portable so aslong as you are near areas with plugs you're fine

[fervent granite]

64 is actually pretty good

[light sinew]

In 2015 maybe

Lmao

[fervent granite]

I barely use half my storage, most of it is on the cloud anyway

[light sinew]

I have more than 64gb in photos and videos on my phone

Let alone music, and anything else

[tranquil jackal]

But I'd also need a monitor to connect it to?

[analog wharf]

You can get a portable monitor too

[cold elbow]

They know that everyone would buy the 128 so they dont offer it
Now u have people buying 64 and 256

[light sinew]

Yea that's the downside

[light sinew]

Scumbags since the early 2000's should be their motto

[fervent granite]

who knew people felt so strongly about companies

[tranquil jackal]

😅 too much effort moving them around

[analog wharf]

fair enough

[light sinew]

When they do scummy shit they should be expected to be called scumbags. It's simple cause and effect

[cold elbow]

As i said something with amd cpu and rtx 3050
MAKE SURE IT OFFERS GOOD COOLING

[light sinew]

Charging $600 for a tb ssd and not letting me replace my phone camera is scummy shit

The very definition

[analog wharf]

you could connect to it remotely with a phone/tablet but not sure how good that would be

i dont like to recommend laptops as most have shitty cooling/thermals

instead i recommend alts

[tranquil jackal]

Hopefully i can find a good laptop. Lmao I can't trust laptops after having a 2 core pentium that can barely run without freezing

[cold elbow]

Acer nitro 5 is alright

[analog wharf]

oh well if you find a good laptop that has actually decent cooling good for you

[cold elbow]

But i still need to post our famous gif

https://tenor.com/view/excuse-me-gif-19259515

[analog wharf]

it might be easier to find something reasonable since you're not planning to run intensive games which is what makes laptops turn into portable heaters

[tranquil jackal]

How important is cooling? Dumb question i know

[snow rover]

imo laptops are basically unusable for almost anything demanding because fan noise

[cold elbow]

If you don't have good cooling then your parts will reduce their speed

[analog wharf]

Fan noise is not the problem

[cold elbow]

So you wont get what you paid for

[snow rover]

yes it is

to me it is

[analog wharf]

The problem is that most laptops will thermal throttle when you try to run demanding games, especially those bulky "gaming" ones

[snow rover]

well yes that is an issue but fan noise affects the user experience more,

[analog wharf]

If you have an issue with the fan noise put on headphones

[tranquil jackal]

Ohh right. Thought it was cause of chances of failing and overheating

[cold elbow]

Of course

[snow rover]

i don't like closed back headphones

[tranquil jackal]

What about pc's with 5+ fans all running a game at 4k?

[snow rover]

i run my pc fans at 30% and they're completely inaudible over game audio

[dense juniper]

you cannot buy that case then not watercool. smh. looks so empty, atleast stick another pc in it if you aint gonna watercool it

the more i look the more i wanna punch you.

i hope you disable one of those gpus when you game

okay okay so problems i see is -
SLI
Cable management.
Lack of watercooling
RGB!!!!
Pigtailed gpu
Having front and top as intake.

oh and that can of coke. stay healthy man

[light sinew]

holy fuck

why would someone do this

[light sinew]

Yea this looks like a child that got like $5000 from their grandma back in 2017 and just bought tons of shit with no research or care

[fervent granite]

that rgb is disgusting

[light sinew]

Yea pink yellow and green is a horrible combo

and it is just too abundant

[dense juniper]

on a serious note, the pigtailed gpu, and sli are really the only problems, maybe airflow

[light sinew]

idk much about sli's and duel graphics cards what's the issue with that one

is it placed improperly?

[dense juniper]

most games perform worse with 2

[light sinew]

That's odd lol

I wonder why that happens

usually double the thing means better

[small mural]

Unicorn puke

[dense juniper]

and like 95% just dont use it at all( like the card will literally sit at 0% usage, sure i guess if you have a use for sli like work or something then i can understand but if its pure gaming, it was a pure mistake

[light sinew]

so sli's are only beneficial for rendering editing workstation modeling type of jargon?

it's useless for games?

[dense juniper]

pretty much yea

[light sinew]

ah

[dense juniper]

theres only a handful of games that will use both. and those are much older, support for sli got dropped by devs along time ago

[light sinew]

Why wouldn't the computer be able to just use the power of both cards the software or game has to specifically be designed to support duel cards?

in reality a 4090 is probably insane enough to be completely stand alone for 99.99% of applications

but for people with money no object syndrome i'm surprised there isn't a way to slot two in there are just make it work

[dense juniper]

if it doesnt melt lol

[light sinew]

the 4090 alone probably uses as much wattage as my entire desktop

so sounds about right

[dense juniper]

you not seen theyve been melting around the power pins ?

[light sinew]

nah I stopped caring about graphics cards after I got my 2070s because any cars after that are all infinitely out of stock.

[dense juniper]

cant remember the whole story and reasoning behind it but

[light sinew]

getting a 30 series was extreme luck, being a bot, or overpaying

it was like getting fucking limited yeezys or jordans

lmao

ridiculous

[dense juniper]

i got fucked over with 3000 series

[fervent granite]

these new cards are making me feel old smh, I swear it feels like the 2070 only came couple of years ago

[light sinew]

I bought my 2070s on August 2020. People were like "30 series comes out in less than a month don't be dumb just wait for them to come out"
Boy i'm glad I hard ignored anyone who said that shit

[dense juniper]

literally months on end using a discord bot which links and auto pings me when a store like amazon gets stock but gone by time i check it. then after about 5months i finally get one ordered. says will be another 3months since was on back order. then 2 weeks before expected date i got an email saying my order was cancelled due to lack of stock

The 2070s went from the $500 I got it for to $900 used

that fucking shortage ruined anyones dream of building a computer

pre builts became objectively ideal

literally still using my ftw 3 1080ti lol

1080ti was such an insane card for its time, even now it's still good because of how op it was back then

after that shortage i lost interest in gaming due to mental health. so didnt care to buy a gpu. only really sztarted gaming again within the past 2-3 months

[light sinew]

I never really cared for videogames for videogames sake. If I want a story I read or watch a movie the only videogames I play are Racing sims and like sandbox building games.

games that i can use to replicate something I cannot afford

i literally had 5900x in its box for 9 months because i wasnt gaming. just sitting on my shelf. only put it in my pc like 10 weeks ago
