#

diskpart

#

list disk

junior flax
#

how open cm

jade pivot
#

list par

junior flax
#

nvm got it

jade pivot
#

paste the screenshot

junior flax
#

Disk 0 is boot

jade pivot
#

it's not gpt, there's your issue

junior flax
#

ah

#

how fix

jade pivot
#

secureboot needs gpt formatting

junior flax
#

oh I need to format which means lose shi

median thorn
junior flax
#

out of like 3.5tb storage I have 1.5 left

jade pivot
#

conversion is a bit of a hassle

#

you'd want to backup first

lost fossil
#

livecd programs can convert in one click

junior flax
lost fossil
#

but it didn't work for me the one time i tried to use apuSus

#

probably because i moved systems

jade pivot
#

dont even need a liveOS, you can convert from the recovery boot menu

junior flax
#

but I lose all my shit ye?

jade pivot
#

no

junior flax
#

oh

lost fossil
#

corsair obsidian knows more about it so i'll let him asplain

jade pivot
#

you just really want a backup first

junior flax
#

OK

#

what can I back it up on

#

I don't have a usb

jade pivot
#

external hard drive or something

junior flax
#

aint got1

#

could I back it all up on the 2tb

#

create a folder or some shit

jade pivot
#

depends on what data you actually need from your primary disk in case stuff gets kablooey

junior flax
#

uhh probs nothing

jade pivot
junior flax
#

I might need to go through ittho

jade pivot
#

then follow this tutorial

junior flax
#

cheers

jade pivot
#

after the conversion, enable secureboot

junior flax
#

👍

#

thx for the help srry I'm bit of dumbass lol

jade pivot
#

you wanna do the offline conversion

#

not online

junior flax
#

I converted it said for windows to boot it needs to be in eufi

#

I changed to uefi

#

back to automatic repair

#

it's gpt now too

jade pivot
#

🤨

#

do you have OSes on the other drives

junior flax
jade pivot
#

gotta change the boot type to UEFI in the bios as well

junior flax
#

it used to be on the disk 1 ages ago but I never fully wiped t

#

it

#

99% sure I deleted all the files tho

jade pivot
#

just deleting files isn't enough, you need to wipe the drive

junior flax
#

Well shit 💀

jade pivot
#

it's probably trying to boot into the old OS, that's why you're getting recovery menu prompts

junior flax
#

ah ok

#

anyway to stop that without wiping?

jade pivot
#

easy test would be to unplug the drive

junior flax
#

ye will do

#

ye goes into windows

jade pivot
#

works?

junior flax
#

ye booted

jade pivot
junior flax
#

genius xD

#

So what can I do with that old drive now

#

other then fully wiping it?

#

I could fully wipe it I just idk what I'm losing

jade pivot
#

first, edit the boot order to select the correct drive first

junior flax
#

OK back Into bios

jade pivot
#

you can remove the hidden partitions from the second drive with the disk management utility

#

or remove the bootflag via diskpart

junior flax
#

what do I change here

#

nevermind I assume change #1 to that

#

@jade pivot after that reattach 2tb?

jade pivot
#

ye

#

probably want to check the boot order with the other hdd attached tho

junior flax
#

@jade pivot should I just disable?

jade pivot
#

idk, select the correct one and try

junior flax
#

ok

#

disabled it and its gone into windows

#

it's in files aswell

#

Who rockin these

junior flax
#

definitely not 🙂

#

i enjoy playing vr

#

but the whole idea of my vision of the real world being changed

#

not for me

jade pivot
junior flax
#

how do that

jovial tide
#

I don't keep up with Apple or anything of the sorts tbh

jade pivot
#

it'll have some uses for certain jobs

cold elbow
#

Im excited apple vr because they will probably push the industry into a better path and not whatever meta is doing

jovial tide
#

If only that could be said about gaming as a whole

languid narwhal
#

Apparently 4k display for each eye

jovial tide
#

per eye? Wtf?

jade pivot
#

i wont buy it unless i can get a glass holder for 1k

languid narwhal
#

Their newly announced mac book is like starting at $1299

#

I can’t imagine how much this is gonna cost

jovial tide
#

💀

jade pivot
#

a 1200 mac is cheap

#

mine was 2,3

#

looking forward to the professional stuff you can do with the glasses tho

jovial tide
languid narwhal
#

Guess how much it starting at

jovial tide
#

uhhhh

#

1.5k?

languid narwhal
jovial tide
#

Oh.....

junior flax
#

3499....

jovial tide
#

wow

languid narwhal
#

I can already see them announcing different versions of it down the road too

jovial tide
#

What a time to be a reviewer eh?

languid narwhal
#

2 hours of battery btw

jovial tide
#

💀 wat

cold elbow
jade pivot
#

apple battery backpack when

cold elbow
#

I think most vr headsets deliver 2 hours

languid narwhal
#

Maybe

cold elbow
#

That's why we use power banks

languid narwhal
#

I can see Apple selling those separately

#

I’m not too familiar with VR headsets

jade pivot
#

google glass lasted 3-5 hours tops as well

cold elbow
#

It ain't gonna be cheap considering that vr gear in general is overpriced already

cold elbow
jade pivot
#

it's still used in som industries

#

it just was shit for consumers at the time

cold elbow
#

I wouldn't call google glass a vr headset

jade pivot
#

i'd put this closer to google glass than say a oculus quest due to the purpose it was designed for

cold elbow
#

Hmmm vr stands for virtual reality meanwhile google glass is kinda far from that
It assist you in the real word

jade pivot
#

unless they're going heavily for windows compatibility i don't see them competing against gaming vr options

cold elbow
#

And doesn't create a virtual reality

jade pivot
#

it does AR too, otherwise there's no point for the outward facing cameras

cold elbow
#

Can it cover your entire vision and take you to a virtual reality

jade pivot
#

my point is, this aint a gaming thingamabob

#

they probably added facetime for the rich fools who need new toys

#

it's mainly a gamechanger for 3d modeling or other professional stuff

frigid echo
#

Ya Google glass is AR more so focused

languid narwhal
#

Who keeps buying those Mac Pros

#

Price raises every year

junior flax
#

@jade pivotsorry how do i remove the bootflag?

#

i looked up on google and followed this

#

but i got this

#

actually

#

what partition do i make inactive here?

#

system?

jade pivot
#

ah ye, gpt doesnt do that anymore

#

the recovery & system partitions are where the old windows sits

#

could just delete them i guess

junior flax
#

whats the command to do that

jade pivot
#

it's probably easier to just check for important files and nuke the drive

junior flax
#

its over 1tb of shit on there

#

from over 2 years of stuff

#

i'd rather not lol

jade pivot
#

you can delete easier from the gui version

junior flax
#

this?

jade pivot
#

it probably wont let you delete some partitions tho

#

ye

#

that's basically diskpart for mouse users

junior flax
#

ah

#

ye it only lets me delete

jade pivot
#

nuke or live with it i guess

junior flax
#

ig ill live with it

#

thx for all the help didnt mean to come off rude then if i did

jade pivot
#

np

#

clean will nuke the drive

fervent granite
#

Yeah mb forgot he had data on the thing

jade pivot
#

you can select par then delete them

#

but those are protected

fervent granite
#

I’d move over the stuff somewhere temporary then nuke the drive tbh

#

Maybe Linux gparted might help

jade pivot
#

i'm sure he'll appreciate it if you send him an external drive to do that

fervent granite
#

I mean he’s got 461 gb on his main drive I’m sure he could make room

cold elbow
jade pivot
junior flax
#

i set them all ages ago to organise my drives

cold elbow
#

I split hard drives into two

#

One called "fast" and the other is "storage"

junior flax
#

i want to organise my drives fully but it'd take me days

#

2 years of shit and tons of archives

junior flax
#

i do want to get a big hard drive so i dont have to constantly delete my game clisp

cold elbow
#

Build a NAS

fervent granite
#

kinda pricey ngl

junior flax
jade pivot
#

150+ for a decent one

cold elbow
#

Depends on what kind of garbage you have

#

Might be free

junior flax
#

oh

#

i missunderstood

cold elbow
#

Like a shitty laptop

junior flax
#

well i have an old motherboard and an i5 4690k

#

old gtx 970

cold elbow
#

Sweet

junior flax
cold elbow
#

Dont need a gpu

#

Hook everything together and install trueNAS core

junior flax
#

ill need to get a psu and case

#

@fervent granite hey hey hey friend hey

#

Is there any way to get Xcode 13.2.1 without an AppleID?

frigid echo
languid narwhal
jovial tide
#

guys nothing can go wrong if i local reinstall my pc and keep files right? i also checked for corrupt system files and there werent any so it should be fine

brave field
#

If you're using Windows' built in function to do that, you won't get a completely fresh reinstall, but it should give you the option to rollback or recover if something does go wrong

fervent granite
brave field
#

this OS is eating me alive

fervent granite
#

what you need Xcode for?

brave field
#

compile iOS app... I think

#

and I can't seem to find if I can just use the CLI tooling to do it or if I need the GUI

fervent granite
#

Well cli tools are available as a separate download

#

But yeah if you want the whole thing you’d need to make a free dev account

thanks to Apple's new Proton-like tool.

#

They forked WiNE, added proprietary D3DMetal after years of blocking MoltenVK and other translation layers, added a 3mb closed source Ruby program, and called it their own tech

We will see a $20 Apple™️ Competitor Gaming Libraries entry on the App Store soon, stay tuned

Imma need some consulting for a small laptop with a 350€ budget. hmmm

#

Any decent brands to look out for? Also would anyone recommend refurbished ware?

snow rover
#

no

#

cheap windows laptops are just e-waste honestly

#

get a Thinkpad used or something

lilac heath
worthy schooner
#

Just an average laptop with okay performance.

#

Just not a chromebook or anything. KEKW

lilac heath
#

Yea R5 5500u has good performance and battery life

worthy schooner
#

The HP is 409€.

#

You sure I can't get anything that's just a bit weaker but way cheaper / cost-efficient?

lilac heath
quartz kayak
#

Thinkpads are insane

#

My internship had some serious thinkpad laptops

#

I think they had them with i7s 11th gen

#

Insane

cold elbow
#

cpu is 6 cores 12 threads and better iGPU

#

probably a lot better battery also

lilac heath
#

Yea

11th gen i7

#

On a fucking thinkpad

jade pivot
#

thinkpad is the business line, you can get all sorts of fun stuff if you pay

#

get the p73 with a xeon processor, 144gb ECC RAM and a dedicated rtx3000

#

might just cost around 6k or so

#

ECC Ram is the good stuff

can u send me 1 of these links, I need a laptop for college and want a decently fast 1

jade pivot
junior flax
#

mainly assignments

#

Big word assignments 10k+ words

#

I have a pc but want a laptop for portability

#

as I struggle to complete them rn on pc cos get distracted

jade pivot
#

unless you start 3d modelling or other gpu intensive stuff even the cheapest models will do

worthy schooner
#

299€

#

Bit more if I wanted a 1TB variant.

#

Again, I likely won't use it much.

jade pivot
#

good laptop, it's a refurb tho

#

which generally isnt a bad thing if it was fixed by the vendor

#

but its not "new"

twin badger
jade pivot
#

like a cnc machine from 98 that runs on thoughts and prayers

twin badger
#

in that case yeah

#

thought you were referring to up-to-date machines

jade pivot

i said business apps

such as the app that controls the cnc machine FeelsCheekyMan

what the hell is a cnc machine?

snow rover
#

head first into the amd experience

cold elbow
#

congrats

snow rover
#

do i even have enough pcie cables

#

and of course it doesn't fit in my case so it's going to be a cardboard box pc for a while

cold elbow
#

or u can use a hammer

snow rover
#

or a dremel

cold elbow
#

or a nuclear bomb

twin badger
#

Get an EATX case EZ

jade pivot
#

just trim the card a bit, it's fine

twin badger
#

the only thing that gonna make it fit

rose yacht
jade pivot
#

or be me and impulse buy a cube case the size of a fridge because i didnt read the measurements

rose yacht
#

i bought a corsair case (which said its 20% smaller than normal cases) and a 3070

cold elbow
#

my chonky amd card fits easily in my case

#

so buy one

twin badger
#

what case u got?

jade pivot
#

i bought this monster

cold elbow
#

lancool 2 mesh

jade pivot
#

the plate the mainboard goes on could be pulled out separately, which was cool

#

and then i thermal bluescreened my CPU anyway because the 3090 was a stupid pointless brick

cold elbow
#

that looks like a fridge

jade pivot
#

it was on sale and it looked cool

snow rover
#

how do I get this fucking USB header off

#

I'm about to desolder the connector from the board

jade pivot
#

usb what?

cold elbow
#

usb3 i assume

#

the most cursed connector

jade pivot
#

but it plugs in any way...

snow rover
jade pivot
#

ah

cold elbow
#

yeah this mf

jade pivot
#

you pull until it snaps

#

and then you post a pic of the result

snow rover
#

i can't even lever it off because the housing is made out of chewing gum and just deforms

cold elbow
#

try to push it down on the connector then pull it from the other side

#

like this

twin badger
# snow rover

You think that is bad? Try pulling off this badboy in the first try

snow rover
#

ATX connectors are nowhere near as bad

#

finally got that diabolical piece of shit off

jade pivot
#

those are easy, you just need a flat driver or sth to lift of the lip a little

snow rover
#

mild violence was involved

jade pivot
#

the usb thingies need some power

#

now those super flat foil connectors on laptops can just rot in hell

jade pivot
#

they replaced the lower half of my 2019 mac because the shit overengineered butterfly garbage fkn keyboard was broken

rose yacht
#

and here we are

#

people still thinking gaming laptops are better

jade pivot
#

i got a free new battery as well

#

because apparently that is somehow tied to the keyboard?

rose yacht
jade pivot
#

not really

#

it was at 97% health after two years when i sent it in

#

my problem is, the fkn garbage butterfly keyboard is acting up again....

rose yacht
#

my iphone 13 pro max battery degrated to 89 after 1 year of use

jade pivot
#

lithium batteries suffer degradation depending on charge cycles

#

super empty or super full bad

rose yacht
#

cuz of the

#

well i usually let it go to 100

#

since i put it to charge before i go to sleep

jade pivot
#

they dont actually charge to full if you have a regular charging schedule

twin badger
#

Idk anyone who has said that

rose yacht
#

in some servers or whatever

jade pivot
#

my almost 5 year old iphone X battery is at 86% health

rose yacht
#

daily use?

jade pivot
#

yes

rose yacht
#

the fuck

#

its barely 1 year old (my phone) and its at 89%

#

and i have 4 hour weekly

jade pivot
#

all depends on if it can do the optimized charging thingamabob i guess

#

or just a shit battery batch on your end

rose yacht
jade pivot
#

in which case you might have good chances with support

#

if it's less than a year old definitely

rose yacht
#

i either send my phone to service to get it changed (cuz no way i am buying a new one)

#

or diy

rose yacht
#

i got it around feb - march 2022

jade pivot
#

idk about customer protections in your country

rose yacht
#

idk if those even exist LOL

jade pivot
#

but here the first year the vendor has to prove the defect wasnt due to user error

#

it's EU wide

rose yacht
#

oh

jade pivot
#

could also check the apple website for recalls, there might be one

rose yacht
#

bulgaria is in the eu, so ig it could work

jade pivot
#

they are pretty straightforward for that sort of thing

#

shit, they stopped the recalls for the mac keyboard

rose yacht
#

oof

jade pivot
#

gotta visit the geniuses tomorrow

how good is the rep of corsair generally? here in my country its not such a common brand and i've bought 2x8GB ram sticks of 3,2MHz, but couldnt find any informative reviews about it

#

it was either that or 2x8gb hyperX fury ram sticks for a stabbing 80 dollars

brave field
#

Corsair doesn't make the ram so you'll generally be fine regardless of the brand

#

Note that LPX tends to be kinda poor bins though

wet bay
#

ohh alright

#

got those for 44 dollars, i believe its quite a cheap deal

brave field
#

Depends on the country

#

and the cas latency, but $44 ain't bad

#

With some dealhunting, 3200cl16 can be just under $30 in the US

wet bay
#

just so you can understand, if i bought that same piece in my country, it would cost a total of 120$ (shipping+fees)

for 2x8GB ram

anything else is a stab in the wallet

lost fossil

so u gonna put it in your undies and smuggle it through the customs? hmmm

wet bay
#

how exactly is someone carrying an item they bought to another country (to do something completely unrelated to the product) illegal

lost fossil
#

i don't know

#

but who knows what might happen when you accidentally decide to carry an item through customs in order to avoid import tax HYPERHMMM

#

hopefully nothing

wet bay
#

i can understand the illegal sense of buying products from a country and taking it for others (example: you cant buy meat from a different country and take to brasil, as infections and other stuff can happen) but an item like that seems quite stupid

wet bay

it just sounds very odd for me such an object would be illegal to carry

on the cbp of US it doesnt say anything related to parts of eletronics

not sure about my country

bringing in foreign stuff may incur import tax

wanna look up the max value you're allowed to get through customs

#

i dont think you can hit that with 40 bucks ram tho

cold elbow
#

just dont keep em in the box and dont carry a lot of them

wet bay

and ofc products like meat and stuff like that (which are already prohibited at CBP of US) are illegal

so eh

didnt find anythign about eletronics

One fan hmmm

junior flax

it's only to cool me 😭

I could buy some p12s for cheap

#

mhm

#

4 of em

cold elbow
#

Just connect it directly to 12v

#

Without that thing

junior flax
#

I wanted that thing so I could have it like a proper fan

#

I could control speed and turn off without unplugging

cloud sapphire
#

Sounds like u just have a HP laptop honestly

#

All HPs have that issue

#

Just try factory resetting if u can get it to turn on if it don't turn on just throw it away no point in fixing that , it would just come back slow AF

Asus , Acer , Alienware and stuff like that is more for gaming HP is for office work

Man... the coil whine on my 6700 XT is starting to get a bit irritating. It went from somewhat acceptable, somewhat low pitched levels of whine, to just annoying screetching noise whenever i put my ear next to my PC

lost fossil
#

solution - don't put your ear next to your pc

#

also try to undervolt because coil whine comes from the power delivery system

twin badger
#

Yeah well, i can hear that noise now even if i dont do that

#

The point wasnt about me constantly putting my damn ear next to my GPU

#

the point was about the fact that beforehand even if i did put my ear next to the GPU, it was somewhat tolerable

lost fossil
#

it also wasn't a serious solution FeelsKekHide

#

no but do you run any undervolt at all?

#

you'd get 2 birds stoned at once by reducing the whine and making the card run cooler

twin badger
#

I believe i was trying to do that at some point

I dont think i am noticing a particular difference even with an undervolt

why crack the OS when you can get a legit activation for under 10 bucks

also, w10 can still be activated with a 7-8 key

lost fossil
jade pivot
# lost fossil why spend 10 bucks if i can spend 0

because the OS cracks usually come in a prebuilt image from questionable sources or strip down system components to bypass activation. it's just less of a hassle/security risk to get one of those msdn keys

#

but if you prefer to run cracked, you do you. i don't care

wispy mesa

modern cracks are risk free but you're still violating the EULA and getting a 7/8 key legitimately is one of the easiest things possible (and you shouldn't do it or talk in depth about it here)

plus you get benefits, like the account-linked digital license some people enjoy

how do i not get a ton of noise into my audio when the gpu is under load

using optical for audio rather than usb isn't an option right now

Plug into the motherboard maybe?

plugging the usb hub into a different outlet than everything else helped but didn't eliminate the issue and it's super inconvenient

hmm ok

so i could try putting a galvanic isolator between my pc and the hub

actually i just got a genius-ish idea

why don't i just make a usb cable where data and power are separated into 2 plugs on the other end

then i can power the tone board from a phone charger and hopefully not have pc noises come through

#

As i said
Side fans needs to be off completely or removed because all they do now is creating turbulence
And do u know what that does? It's noise
And harming your airflow

And imo aio extra two fans are also not needed at all and they also create massive turbulence

#

After u fix that start stressing and tinkering with your fans speed for example bottom fans should never go to maximum speed.

Same goes for the rear fan... it's almost useless.

found a thread about someone trying to homebrew an isolator and getting warned about too big a power diff popping boards tho

there's no continuity from the power pin of the data input so it should work

what if i just tape over the power pin of the cable going to the usb hub

will everything explode

my expertise is rebooting servers, but if you manage to break the contact for 5v and ground in the cable, i'd say worst case nothing happens
