it's the same for backlit keyboards, RGB on your pc

it looks pretty

that's it

[quartz kayak]

Backlit keyboard actually have an use

They exist so u can see the letters in the dark

Everything else is just cosmetic

[jade pivot]

do they not have ceiling lights where you live

[quartz kayak]

Prefer working in the dark with a backlit keyboard than in the light

I am not a moth

[jade pivot]

do you still need to look at your keyboard to peck the right keys

[quartz kayak]

Not now

Used to

And im p sure that most pc users do

[jade pivot]

considering that most people didnt grow up with computers, sure

my point still stands, there is no practical advantage to those things

i can justify expensive headphones because there's a difference

or a monitor with better contrast, lighting etc

[quartz kayak]

I mean

Most backlit keyboards are better than non backlit keyboard

Theres also a really extense market of good mechanical non rgb keyboards

[jade pivot]

i know, i have one

[quartz kayak]

So its really just ur preference

No ur looks weird

[jade pivot]

it's functional

[quartz kayak]

Arent we all (im not)

Also rgb makes you have more fps

And mouses with holes make ur hand breather better

Its like geox

[jade pivot]

it's also excellent at collecting your dead skin shavings

[quartz kayak]

Just clean ur stuff

Are you a chameleon

[jade pivot]

not that i know of

[quartz kayak]

I did not mean to send the are you a chameleon here

[jade pivot]

i actually bought the same keyboard twice

my cat killed the first one

[quartz kayak]

The same?

Eh

[jade pivot]

with different MX switches, the REDs were a bit too loud for my taste

[quartz kayak]

Just fix the old one and buy new switches

[jade pivot]

fish

that keyboard broke 6 years ago or so

i dont collect garbage

[quartz kayak]

Mom just got me a usb drive

Wooooo

[jade pivot]

[quartz kayak]

NOOO

I GOT BAITED

LMFAOO

[jade pivot]

just steal one from work like a normal person

that's how i got my 128 gb stick

[quartz kayak]

[quartz kayak]

Dont have work

I actually think i lost my pen on my old internship

[jade pivot]

no windows 11 for you

[quartz kayak]

My mom left me other one

Its fine

[jade pivot]

go break your computer

now

i want entertainment

[quartz kayak]

Is 8gb enough

Im guessing no

This is really annoying

[jade pivot]

it is

[quartz kayak]

WOOO

Ok what do i do firs

Wait actually i should do some stuff first then i ll ask u

[jade pivot]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

check your main drive for important stuff first, you'll have to format

[quartz kayak]

Wont that make that annoying watermark appear

[quartz kayak]

Ik its fine

[jade pivot]

you can activate the corresponding edition with your w10 key

[quartz kayak]

Am i suposed to have the key?

Bcs i bought it prebuilt and idk where it is

[jade pivot]

if it's prebuilt, there should be a sticker

[quartz kayak]

Where

There is no stickers on my puter

[jade pivot]

on your forehead, dumdum

[quartz kayak]

[jade pivot]

https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_key_scanner.html

since w10 links the key to your hardware ID, it should activate itself. You want to grab your key just to be safe tho

also, install the right edition

if it's w10 home > w11 home etc.

[quartz kayak]

I also dont know if that will work

[jade pivot]

it will

[quartz kayak]

Bcs my os is like an image of other os

Look its complicated

We ll see

[jade pivot]

so you're trying to tell me that your W10 is cracked?

[quartz kayak]

Not really

Its original

But

[cold elbow]

Holly molly

U guys talked too much here

[quartz kayak]

Its not in its computer

[jade pivot]

if it's legit activated, there's a key

[quartz kayak]

I mean i activated a key on the pc at some point if thats what ur asking

Idk if that key is the one im using rn

[jade pivot]

that software will grab the current key from the OS

that key will work unless it's some vendor preinstalled image

in which case you'll have a sticker on your forehead PC

[quartz kayak]

@jade pivot i think it showed me 2 keys

[jade pivot]

[quartz kayak]

and

no wait

[paper cradle]

So you know how you get either a ips monitor screen or VA panel screen yeah

Is ips the oled version and va panel the lcd or led version?

[wispy mesa]

IPS and VA are both LCD (VA can be LED), OLED is OLED

[paper cradle]

Is lcd better than led or led better than lcd?

[wispy mesa]

generally lcd is better than LED

[lost fossil]

what the fuck

LED > LCD

but LED displays experience burn out (not burn in, actually)

[wispy mesa]

Wait youre right, ive got them backwards in my brain

dodge viper experience

[jovial tide]

Guys what should I use to clean my laptop fan?

I have never opened my laptop and have no clue what to use

[jade pivot]

canned air

[jovial tide]

Where can I get that?

[jade pivot]

in every hardware store or amazon

[jovial tide]

Ok thanks

[jade pivot]

it also cools your drinks if you spray upside down

[wispy mesa]

or inhale it for a good time

[junior flax]

bro 💀

[rose yacht]

All monitors have problems

Ips has blacklight bleed

Va has ghosting

Oled has burn in

[lost fossil]

crt has burn out

[snow rover]

backlight bleed shouldn't be an issue in any normal situation unless your unit is particularly awful

[nova steppe]

TN has amazing viewing angles 😍

[snow rover]

too bad ips can't really display black

[lost fossil]

kinda racist if u think about it

[paper cradle]

I’ve heard ghosting before but what does it actually mean display wise

Like do pixels disappear and shit

[snow rover]

no

mostly on va it's black smearing

[paper cradle]

Apparently black smearing affects the ms response time

According to Google

But I bought a 1ms response time monitor so I should be fine right?

[snow rover]

advertised 1ms is closer to 10ms in reality

[cold elbow]

People are satisfied by reading the number and will probably not notice the difference even comparing with a monitor with 5ms adversed but perform better than their 1ms.

[snow rover]

samsung odyssey g5 marketed as 1ms

averages 21.9ms

[paper cradle]

So ur saying I’ve been scammed basically

[snow rover]

you've fallen for marketing tricks

[quartz kayak]

Victim of advertisement fraud

[paper cradle]

So how tf are we meant to know if it’s 1ms then

[snow rover]

watch independent reviews

though a real 1ms monitor doesn't exist

[paper cradle]

I did but nowadays reviews only exist for £1000 monitors or £100 monitors

[snow rover]

that's just not true

[paper cradle]

Nothing between

[paper cradle]

Ok mate it’s clear on YouTube

[snow rover]

what's clear?

[paper cradle]

That only reviews for £1000 monitors or 100 monitors exist

It’s what gets the views

[snow rover]

then how come i can find dozens of reviews for my 500-ish euro monitor

[junior flax]

same for my £280 monitor....

🤯

[cold elbow]

Check channels like monitorunboxed

Great channel

They also release best monitors each year for all price points and resolution in their other channel HardwareUnboxed

[quartz kayak]

@charred otter if you have the world file without it beeing modified maybe i can get ur server back

[charred otter]

its not the world file being the issue, loads of .jar crashes etc

[quartz kayak]

You can remake the jars

[charred otter]

everyone agreed to fresh restart anyways

[quartz kayak]

Easly

Ok i ll teach j so u do it next time

[charred otter]

ye im getting the files reset completely so its easier for me

[quartz kayak]

What platform are u using for your server?

[quartz kayak]

Are u just doing it on windows?

[charred otter]

ive got FTP ofc

[quartz kayak]

So ur not the host?

[charred otter]

no, Host Havoc is

[quartz kayak]

Wouldnt you prefer urself to be the host for free?

Its normally less laggy and free

[charred otter]

with my shitty wifi no....

[quartz kayak]

Whats ur mb

[charred otter]

2

[quartz kayak]

What

U get 2mb of internet?

[charred otter]

ye

[quartz kayak]

🏴‍☠️

[charred otter]

2mb up

like i said

shitty wifi

😭

[quartz kayak]

How can u even use discord

2mb is like

Nothing

Theres no way ur wifi is 2mb

[nova steppe]

that's not even enough to stream 720p

[quartz kayak]

You need atleast 45Mb to play java in any server @charred otter

[charred otter]

um i can play java fine

maybe it isnt just 2mb up

but its what i got

like i said when i get better wifi

[quartz kayak]

Can u run a speedtest for me and show it

https://www.speedtest.net/

[charred otter]

ok correction i got 2mb download on steam @quartz kayak

[snow rover]

nice upload ping

[quartz kayak]

Thats fine then

If ur doing vanilla you only need more than 10Mbps

[charred otter]

no it inst

i want FASTER

[quartz kayak]

Well yeah it isnt. But its enough

U want to try and host one? Its easy to do if u wana test it

[charred otter]

eh ive got this server already i think its good enough

[quartz kayak]

Well okay.

Have you tried

Actually no u havent.

Next time you should try

Taking the world file off and starting the server without it

It ll auto remake all the files

Then u just drop the world file back in and delete the new one it made

And that should work

If its modded be sure u also put the mods in again so it deletes any issues with them

Its literally that easy

Unless u ve chamged anything in the world fine then theres nothing i can do

[charred otter]

my main issue is im never sure where to put the mods, maybe making a mod folder isnt what im supposed to do since @quiet socket was saying there were no mods when i had all the mods in the mod folder i made.

there arent any guides on this shit so ive been just yoloing it

i got it to work ONCE

i can do it again

[junior flax]

bros Internet is not fast

[charred otter]

didnt ask

[junior flax]

nai get it

i had to beg my dad to upgrade our internet

and even now we only get like 50mb down 10 up

[charred otter]

well i'll be paying for the internet soon ive just gotta get the old box removed and a new plan in. ive just been very busy with work

[quiet socket]

Just send them to me

[junior flax]

fair

If I could I'd pay for my own but I'm pretty sure u can't have 2 providers in 1 house

+can't get a contract cos 17

[vernal bloom]

Need help so my pc on but its not showing that its on on my monitor. Also lately been having a problem too when i click the turn off button it never switches off it just stays on and also like yesterday it needed update so i went and click on update and turn pc off it did the update but the pc did not turn off

[quartz kayak]

That depends on the mods. If it is a modpack it will have specific files for the server

[quartz kayak]

Its easy. U can just ask me im used to it

[charred otter]

back to sqaure one. for the 4th time

what are the toml files

[quartz kayak]

Ur using a custom server with java 17?

So ur doing mods?

[charred otter]

yes. melk said about toml files

i dont know what that is

[quartz kayak]

Melki is silly we dont talk about him

Whats the modpack?

[charred otter]

or there isnt any mention of it in here https://hosthavoc.com/billing/knowledgebase/306/Setting-up-Forge-for-Minecraft-1.18---1.19.4-Java-17.html

[charred otter]

my own modpack

[quartz kayak]

Firstly you need to know if the mods are compatible with each other and with beeing used on servers

Because alot of mods from 1.16 up arent compatible with servers

[charred otter]

they are in 1.20.1

cuz the server is

[quartz kayak]

I ve never really made modpack myself.

[charred otter]

i had 80 mods but melk had me remove a lot

[quartz kayak]

Im at 1% gime a sec

@charred otter have you played that modpack in singleplayer yet?

[charred otter]

i have yes

i can again since i got rid of a shit ton of mods

[quartz kayak]

Okay do u have any important stuff in the server rn? Or can we set it up from 0

[charred otter]

i dont besides the library folder

[quartz kayak]

Library folder? Whats that

[charred otter]

https://hosthavoc.com/billing/knowledgebase/306/Setting-up-Forge-for-Minecraft-1.18---1.19.4-Java-17.html

[quartz kayak]

Oh yeah i forgot ur server doesnt install forge automatically

Lmao

[quartz kayak]

Okay just start the server vanilla in forge

[charred otter]

i did 😭

ive done all of this already

[quartz kayak]

The mods of ur modpack should all have a server file

U need all of them aswell

Im p sure its on curseforge individually in each mod

Like theres on modpacks

[charred otter]

im trying something

[quartz kayak]

Do u not have the server mod files?

[charred otter]

wym

[quartz kayak]

Some mods need a server file to work on a server. Else it will just not work or crash

Like biomes o plenty

[charred otter]

yes im trying something i'll let you know if it works

[quartz kayak]

Why are you trying something it should be really straight forward

[charred otter]

im not sure where that file is

also

still jar file not found

i tried uploading the whole "modpack" file

it did not work and it was mostly all junk

[quartz kayak]

@charred otter searched a lil and aparently biomes o plenty only needs forge to run

[charred otter]

ive made a support ticket just now gonna see what the pros say

[quartz kayak]

why dont you just play an already made modpack

[charred otter]

i got it

turns out

the IP CHANGED

[quartz kayak]

What

Ip?

Eh?

Ur just dumb

Such a skizzle moment

[charred otter]

turns out when the fire happened at the data center they changed ips to my server 😭

its been the wrong ip this WHOLE TIME

i had the old one

[quartz kayak]

I dont even wanna hear about it

Just go away

GO AWAY

[charred otter]

[snow rover]

[brave field]

[snow rover]

i don't have a black case

[brave field]

I've been cheated on and lied to

Komplett.no is German? What a scam!

I have so many apologies to type up

[jade pivot]

i'd complain

actually it comes from french apparently

or rather latin

[jovial tide]

I love coding

[gaunt granite]

i kinda had the opposite experience with the same conditions last week, I was in scotland camping in places with largely not even a GSM signal, let alone 3/4/5G, it was great, not having any access to the internet at all, I just spent all day climbing, talking to friends, or doing similar stuff

[supple walrus]

[gaunt granite]

I was camping on skye about 40m from the beach, it was peak living

talk to your bank now

[junior flax]

ye

if ur from UK ur protected

[jade pivot]

there is a very small window where you might be able to reverse charges

[junior flax]

if he's uk ur protected on all purchases

if he paid by bank

big banks have knowledgeable fraud departments, lying is not the best course of action

"hello bank, i made a purchase and i suspect it might be illegitimate, pls help ty"

[paper cradle]

So I’m supposed to just tell them I was high when I bought it? 😂

[jade pivot]

[jade pivot]

i'd recommend velcro ties, something like this

i was about to say

[plucky raft]

I have some but prefer the free wires that comes free

They also take less space

Or use ltt cableties

the first scratch on that case would make me sad

[snow rover]

it's not a case

[jade pivot]

so what then, stickers?

[snow rover]

basically yes

i've had a dbrand skin on my phone for what, 3 or 4 years now and it's actually held up very well

[jade pivot]

are you using a case nonetheless?

[snow rover]

no

[jade pivot]

i've never been without one since i dropped a 1 month old iphone

[snow rover]

imagine spends hundreds of hours perfecting the feel of a phone

and everyone puts a case on it

[jade pivot]

imagine paying 800 bucks for a new phone and then 300 bucks a month later to fix it

[snow rover]

just don't drop it

[jade pivot]

good one

[cold elbow]

I don't understand people that don't use a phone case

[snow rover]

i don't like how a case feels

[brave field]

it makes my phone significantly thicker

[snow rover]

or looks

[cold elbow]

Then get a good feeling case

[snow rover]

no

the mfs at samsung spent time making this phone feel good

and i will respect that

[cold elbow]

Phones are unusable for me without a case... too slippery and i sometimes touch the edge of the screen

Also any drop and phone is damaged.... i dropped mine many times amd still looks brand new

[junior flax]

I don't use 1

my phone rn is so bad tho the battery is gone

like runs out of charge very fast

[cold elbow]

Replace battery maybe

[jade pivot]

But if the phone breaks, the parents will buy a new one

duh

[brave field]

parent my MVNO gives me a free replacement for an extra $20 monthly!

All for free!

[jade pivot]

except for the 300+ upfront cost because you want that extra storage

and a contract extension for 24 months

besides that, it's totally free

[cold elbow]

20$ a month that's 240

I paid 350 for my phone 3 years ago

[junior flax]

my parents buy nothing for me anymore

I'm 17 and work for my shit

by nothing I mean like expensive shit like tech etc

[junior flax]

I have a Samsung s10 idek if it'd be worth

[cold elbow]

I also have s10

[jade pivot]

that thing is 4 years old tops, only problem is the glued backplate

[junior flax]

also the fact it's cracked on the back+fromt

so if I wanted to take it off I'd have to replace

[jade pivot]

The parts are cheap

And a 10 bucks case to prevent the damage in the first place even cheaper

[junior flax]

link them to me 🙂

[jade pivot]

we're on the same internet, i believe you can google it yourself

[snow rover]

goggle

[junior flax]

actually I found the ifixit guide

[junior flax]

I'm lazy 😂

[snow rover]

the quality of 3rd party replacement parts might be a little bit dubious

[jade pivot]

might be cheaper to get the same thing used tbh

[snow rover]

i've learned from cars not to touch aftermarket parts that are cheaper than oem/oe

[junior flax]

I'd rather just upgrade at that point 😂

[jade pivot]

I'd disagree on the car comparison, at least regarding mechanical parts.

Excluding brakes and engine related parts

[snow rover]

i bought aftermarket wiper blades

surprise surprise, they were shit

[jade pivot]

Just gotta oil them up a bit

speaking of, i'd prefer not to pay the 300-500% markup on "certified" oil from my car mechanic

[junior flax]

why would I put oil on my phone

[jade pivot]

i don't know, maybe you're into it?

[junior flax]

🤨

[snow rover]

glass isn't slippery enough

[jade pivot]

Back in the day we used to oil up our CDs to make the disk drive read faster

[fervent granite]

disc

[cold elbow]

U can't be serious

[jade pivot]

i remember the tasty smell of cooking oil when i was burning CDs at 16x instead of 8x

[quartz kayak]

Overclocked cds

[cold elbow]

I actually never owned or used a cd player

Seen some dvds tho

[jade pivot]

i am kidding

but i used to pirate like a mf way back, borrowing and burning ps1 disks

and it would take forever to burn a CD on a 8x drive

[cold elbow]

Oh

What's the capacity of cd?

[jade pivot]

700mb or 1400mb

depending on single or double layer

[cold elbow]

Wtf is double layer

[jade pivot]

a CD is basically data etched into a layer of glass or plastic or whatever

they just figured out how to get two different layers on a disk at some point

[cold elbow]

Ahaaa

Kinda cool

[jade pivot]

it is

but it's just a continuation of the vinyl record tech, grooves in a polycarbonate medium

[jade pivot]

i might be remembering wrong about the CD stuff, didn't look it up

[rose yacht]

My mother introduced me to torrenting when I was a child (I had no clue about piracy or torrenting). Now I am sailing the 7 seas like a lone wolf

[junior flax]

my grandad introduced me to pirating when I was like 9

[rose yacht]

W grandad

[junior flax]

he'd download p2w games for me on mobile and they'd have millions of coins worth thousands of £

he taught me how to virus scan them n everything lmao

it got me into exploiting kinda which led to me making over 1000£+ exploiting on roblox

I'd run 7 accounts overnight on roblox exploiting

then sell the items they obtained for irl

hundreds of little transactions like these

for a 14yo it was good money 😂

You telling me you black marketed on roblox

💀

[junior flax]

yes at 14

it made me good money so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rose yacht]

At 14 I had no idea what an injector was

[junior flax]

lol

i commissioned scripts n shit off ppl

to make it better

[rose yacht]

Let me guess.. on v3million

[junior flax]

maybe

haha

I actually started off selling for a discord with 2k+ people

the owner knew a dupe and it started there

then I started cutting bits off for myself and selling

[rose yacht]

Nice

[junior flax]

then found a good script to afk farm 7 accounts overnight

[rose yacht]

The best I did was afk on bf to get to max lvl

[ocean thunder]

I want some good headphones for Apple Music

I gotta search it online

Damn that thing is nearly $200

[jade pivot]

the quality on the newer crushers is kinda dubious it seems

[ocean thunder]

I gotta wait a while before I can get that

[jade pivot]

try to find the crusher 360

[ocean thunder]

Can you send a link?

[jade pivot]

they dont sell them anymore, look on ebay or sth

[ocean thunder]

[rose yacht]

what the fuck do you mean they dont connect for more than a min

my pro 2s work for 6~ hours

[ocean thunder]

I’m not gonna buy new AirPods and have them not work

If they don’t work then I don’t expect the other models to work

[rose yacht]

what iphone do you have and which gen airpods did you have

[ocean thunder]

Don’t try to fix it because it doesn’t fix

Tried apple support and looking around online for months

[rose yacht]

no i am just curious

cuz i had second get airpods and one day the left one i think just died

[ocean thunder]

No

[languid narwhal]

I love my AirPods. Good for at home and everywhere else

I use a headset when traveling though

[junior flax]

I have samsung buds2pro and love them

since I got em I use them everywhere

[quartz kayak]

I wana get samsung buds bcs my earbuds are getting old

Also i have a samsung phone and the ecosystem is just better

[junior flax]

Best purchase I made all last year

[jade pivot]

airbuds only make sense if you own apple stuff or are an insta influencer posing for shit

[junior flax]

I disagree I'm neither of them and I love mine

[jade pivot]

because the apple music codec doesnt work over regular bluetooth

[jade pivot]

i'm sorry, obviously buy them if you like them

[junior flax]

it was My 1st pair of airbuds

[jade pivot]

personally, i'd buy something else for that price

[rose yacht]

my first were the gen 2 airpods

then the pro 1s and now pro 2s

[jade pivot]

i bought some in-ears for sports but for anything else i use headphones personally

[quartz kayak]

Theres better choices

They are really expensive

[jade pivot]

my sports in ears were 220€

[quartz kayak]

Wild

My earbuds were 160€

The most i wasted on buds in my life

[jade pivot]

they were sorta worth it, because they have a certai shape to stay in the ear

[quartz kayak]

Is it those that you get them made

At the shop

Then they give you the specific size with your ear

[jade pivot]

these

also noise cancelling

[quartz kayak]

Noise cancelling is pretty normal nowadays

Ur 70€ buds come with it

Mine also have them

And ambient

I played legit till like 2020 then realised it wasn't for me and duped cars

that's on xbox

that how I like to play so

[cedar kindle]

Well, I can understand wanting one for the simple reason of not being crashed by other modders etc.

[quartz kayak]

Having a modmenu is basically useless against other menu users

[junior flax]

• it don't bother no1 else so shrug

[cedar kindle]

That depends on what menu you use.

[quartz kayak]

Bcs theres crash methods that are unavoidable no matter the modmenu

[cedar kindle]

Not really, any methods get patched quite quickly. Some crashes are unavoidable due to GTA being buggy most-of-the-time.

[quartz kayak]

Theres always crashes that arent avoidable no matter what menu you use or lua scripts you have

[cedar kindle]

If the menu you use is made by competent devs, then said crash will be patched. Things like Host Kicks are unavoidable.

Most basic crashes are avoidable yeah. But not everyone uses basic modmenus or lua scripts

i randomly called it that, but that's where I store all my torrents. If there's something catastrophic, I can yank out the drive

@lost fossil can I dm u and ask if a meme is allowed

idk if itiz

[lost fossil]

if you gotta ask this question it's better not to go there

[nova steppe]

If something gets detected while the torrent is going, then I can remove it. I also extract any ZIPs on the drive so it stays isolated. Does it... not work like that?

[jade pivot]

shit infects your OS, not the drive its on

so no, it doesnt work like that

besides, with current speeds you have no chance to yank out anything

[spiral jasper]

Why is it only 100gbs

I mean its the os so its probably fine. But the fact that its so close to beeing full is giving me ocd

thinkpad x1 carbon

[charred otter]

Lmao um maybe a lil cheaper than that

200-300 range preferably. I start in september so id like to buy it in 1 or 2 paychecks

[snow rover]

nothing new in that price range will be anything other than e-waste

[jade pivot]

acer travelmate is a solid businessline

starts at 500 something iirc

hp & lenovo offer similar stuff with probooks, thinkbooks, but a tad more expensive

but you'd probably get more bang for your buck if you look at used stuff

[snow rover]

we have thonkpads at work

they're nice because they're actually portable

[jade pivot]

they're nice, but the quality is a bit hit or miss

and a thinkpad was the only one that came apart after a tech fixed it back in my msp days

x1 carbon looks cool but i'd never buy that without onsite warranty

[junior flax]

I just use an ipad to do coursework etc

[paper cradle]

If ur monitor has free sync or g sync should u turn them on is it good?

sure, it doesn't hurt. all it does is smoothing out the fps if your fps dip below the monitor refresh rate tho

can It smooth my 2fps to 60

[jade pivot]

can you drive 300 kmh with a smart fortwo with 60 hp

Userbenchmark

[jade pivot]

whats wrong with userbenchmark? isnt it just aggregated data

[arctic yarrow]

Guy who runs the website has a massive problem with AMD, to the point where he cooked the numbers to make intel and nvidia better.

Which caused an i3 to look better performing than an i9 in the same generation

[jade pivot]

good to know

but intel cooked their own data to make amd worse

[arctic yarrow]

I mean, look at this review here

clearly unbiased /s

[jade pivot]

but comparing nvidia to nvidia should be fine then, no?

[arctic yarrow]

No, because the way they cooked the numbers makes even comparisons in the same generation and manufacturer unreliable

[jade pivot]

which aggregated data site would you suggest then

if i hear linus, i will slap you over https

[arctic yarrow]

https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/singleCompare.php

data collected from passmark benchmarks

[jade pivot]

looks cleaner for sure

[arctic yarrow]

There's several others who are also reputable, like 3dmark

[jade pivot]

problem with benchmarks is that they're not representative for how a certain card behaves in different games

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, but it gives you a general idea

You definitely need to look at them from a game-to-game scenario, like youtube comparisons, for whatever games you play.

[jade pivot]

4080 it is then

[cold elbow]

I bought the cheapest earpbuds from soundcore and they are surprisingly good

Wait what happens if fps dips below the monitor refresh rate?

I didn’t understand the last bit

[quartz kayak]

It explodes

💥💥💥

[languid narwhal]

Less smooth screen

Nothing special will happen

[jade pivot]

if your gpu dips below your monitors refresh rate in terms of fps you get choppy pictures

gsync/freesync is a way for the gpu to sync with the monitor so if your frames dip down to lets say 40 fps for a bit, so does the refresh rate

[cold elbow]

It also deals with tearing

[nova steppe]

I was so lost when people were talking about V-Sync adding input lag, but when I finally had a frame time counter up and compared it in a game (can't remember which), i was like "Ah, yeah, I see."

[paper cradle]

Does that apply to a console that outputs a maximum of 120 fps

Because if ur playing on a 144hz monitor with a console u will always be under 144 hz because it outputs maximum 120 fps

[quartz kayak]

Consoles dont have gsync

[nova steppe]

the tech is on the monitor

if you have it turned on on the monitor, it will do 120Hz peak

[jade pivot]

g/freesync is a special protocol between monitor and gpu

i dont think there are any TVs with sync

oh well, there actually are

[wispy mesa]

yea there is tvs that support it

[nova steppe]

He was mentioning monitors

[charred otter]

I just want a good cheap laptop that i can use for travel purposes

[nova steppe]

TL;DR: Thought Adaptive Sync would work on all devices. Was wrong.

I was doing some testing and I was mistaken. I thought the option for using Adaptive Sync would stay even when I wasn't using a device that had a gpu that supported it, but it was greyed out. But it should still allow you to keep it at 120Hz if xboxes have that option in their settings

[brave field]

I saw someone mention Userbenchmark

[junior flax]

lol

[brave field]

On top of the site owner just roasting AMD and constantly changing metric weights to make AMD lose, their software ALSO isn't a benchmark

It puts a whopping 0% load on your components while it's running. What exactly is going on if it's not putting load on your system?

The results might as well be a random.randomInt() call

[arctic yarrow]

They don't roast AMD, they just rail at them rabidly.

Roasting implies they have a head up on AMD.

Which they don't

[brave field]

Well, some of the 12th gen CPU reviews rightfully roast over-the-top brandwarriors and marketing, but you're right

No other parts of their reviews actually review anything

Christmas is later this year. Can’t decide between a new Nintendo switch, another N2DSXL (for modding), or a steam deck.

Update on this: ran into SO many issues while installing and getting the CPU to work. After buying fresh new thermal paste, a 70 dollar AIO, and 3-4 days with a unusable pc, got it to work a couple of days ago.

[nova steppe]

#tech-coding-math message
I know this is old, but you kinda need thermal paste regardless. I'm guessing you had overheating issues since you've mentioned it twice

[spiral jasper]

Which one is better

What's the difference in the latency

[snow rover]

why would you buy a kit that slow when cl30 is available for less

[spiral jasper]

So the lower the cl the better?

[jovial tide]

Anyone who can help me with a connection problem in my PS4?

anything over 6000mt/s is a waste for am5 so you should go for the lowest possible latency

[charred otter]

Travel/School. Something that can handle basic apps. Def not gaming

[brave field]

Specs-wise, it's usable, but you can do better. The storage setup is a joke and 4c4t Celeron is... meh

As for the non-processing things, you might want more than 768p on a 2023 system

something like this probably is better to use, taking CPU and price only into consideration https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Latitude-1920x1080-Business-i3-1125G4/dp/B0C5D3CQP3/

[charred otter]

That isnt bad at all

I definitely just want something that doesnt struggle opening chrome

My current laptops are old

They were used/hand me downs anyways

[brave field]

What's your current laptop's specs like? Many laptops will still be very usable with just an SSD and 16gb of ram

struggling to open chrome is almost always solved by not using a hard drive nowadays. Decade-old hardware gets new life with an SSD

[charred otter]

Uh

Has to turn on

Its also not just the struggle to load apps

The battery lasts about 20 minutes

It also tends to heat up very quick

[brave field]

all laptops have bad thermals

you got me though, first time I've run into a slow laptop that's actually weaker than what I've been using for school and development
fair enough, buy something new

[charred otter]

Ye but it shouldn't heat up trying to open chrome

[charred otter]

Lmao

My other laptop is slightly better than this one. Only issue it has is the keyboard got damaged and the touchpad doesnt even work anymore

Also this laptop is heating up WITH TASK MANAGER OPEN

[brave field]

The amount of laptops from the past 4 years being thrown out or replaced because of slow hard drives is unreal. Shocked to see an actual old machine

[charred otter]

ye it was my uncles

He gave it to me cuz i was in need of a new laptop

Then i got my PC

Which is amazing but not portable

When it comes to managing a discord server, Minecraft and DayZ server i need to have something. Aswell as have it for school etc

This bad boi barely handles np++

Could you imagine the heat from this thing if i had correl(designing software) or photoshop on this thing LMAO

[brave field]

Skizzle's Sizzle
The other might be fine with a keyboard/touchpad replacement, do you know its specs or model number?

Not on hand unfortunately. But it was also a gift from my other uncle and its getting there in age. Think its easier to just get a new laptop lol

[brave field]

Are you open to the used market?

[lilac heath]

Budget?

[lost fossil]

people use the letter p to describe a resolution but is it possible to use i on a non-crt display?

[jade pivot]

p stands for progressive scan

[lost fossil]

yes and i stands for interlaced

but can you use interlaced on a modern digital only display

probably a question

[arctic yarrow]

Yes, but it's worse than progressive scan

[lost fossil]

i know, that it's worse, it was more of a theoretical questioп

[arctic yarrow]

Every other line is refreshed each refresh on interlaced, while every single line is refreshed every refresh on progressive

Oh gotcha

Yeah, you can manually set interlaced on most displays and pc settings

[jade pivot]

interlaced was used to save bandwidth on tv broadcasts pre HD

since you technically skip half the frame

but it gets artifacty and choppy on fast scenes

[arctic yarrow]

Effectively, interlaced at 60hz is like progressive at 30hz, but also with bluriness and visual artifacts.

[jade pivot]
