Have you experienced bad Acer products like this?

[snow rover]

no, i'm just saying they don't have a reputation

[sterile storm]

Well the reviews seem good

And it appears that the SSD from Acer meets the requirements for the ps5

[sterile storm]

Wonder which one is better...?

[snow rover]

acer will be faster on big writing loads

in practice you probably won't notice any difference whatsoever

[sterile storm]

So even staying with Acer is better?

[hallow brook]

I'm coding the most secure social network with AI rn like the world has never seen before 😂

[lost fossil]

are u sure it's u coding it and not ai?

[wicked ferry]

I would recommend one that isn’t even on that list

The WD Black

[wary pawn]

@lost fossil @cold elbow https://fxtwitter.com/meowved/status/1810524729276551262

[cold elbow]

I really wanna know how is this happening

Cant be that the fan is that strong to vibrate the cooler even when it's loose

[sterile storm]

I've looked at that, and it's expensive

[cold elbow]

AI event

Cant wait for this trend to dissappear

[sterile cliff]

give it a few years

it will go away on its own lol

[shadow star]

I don't think AI is something that will go away , I think it will be integrated into things that don't even need AI

A potential AI vs Human battle soon lol

[sterile cliff]

yeah thats when the people revolt

u cant just use AI for everything

[shadow star]

I don't think big corpo gives a fuck about it

[sterile cliff]

yea true

they wanna maximise profits

and lay off a ton of hard workers

[shadow star]

exactly

[civic arch]

do any of them have cache

which is better these days samsung 990 evo or wd sn770?

both are similar price for 2tb

[sterile storm]

Probably

[civic arch]

have you checked which kind of drivers are good tho

i thought the ps5 had really fast required

[cold elbow]

gigabyte at it again with shitty motherboards

[civic arch]

no heatsink on the power??

where do you find those kind of info?

i wonder where my msi board would fit

its also a b650m mobo

[cold elbow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naX-DnKekCM

[sharp coyote]

Gm7000 has dram

[civic arch]

msi mag mortar is like 70c

so pretty good

[vale glacier]

@jovial tide what a steal of a deal lmao 🤣🤣🤣 $10 off 🥴

[jovial tide]

😭

[vale glacier]

Best buy is wild 🤣

[jovial tide]

The only complaint I have right now with my new card is, it's still 8gb. But I don't play many games that tend to exceed that threshold, so I'm fine with it

[exotic patrol]

tlou1 be like

[jovial tide]

Works fine for me

[vale glacier]

Yeah I have an issue with at least on my Xbox Series X buying games, downloading them and never finishing them or ever going back to them 🤣

And then them just taking up space on my console lol

Need to do a cleanout of the storage sometime

[lost fossil]

amogus elite ax is really good though

[brave field]

Almost everything AI is being shoehorned into works better without the use of AI

and jobs will be fine because millions would've already been automated out of office jobs decades ago if it was viable

receive email -> print pdf -> copy printed sheet -> sign using pen -> copy signed paper -> scan as pdf -> send email
If you work at one of these jobs, and then become more productive by automating your work, you get fired.

[exotic patrol]

you need people to make the AI better

And it still doesn't even come close yet

[shadow star]

True but AI and machine learning is soo deep that I think no one has full knowledge of it

[fervent granite]

it would be nice to not see ai plastered on every piece of software

[tame garden]

why is google dns better for me?

[exotic patrol]

The DNS is closer to you

[wispy mesa]

https://dnsspeedtest.online/

tests with your browser

to see the best

[tame garden]

thanks

[tame garden]

oh thats why

[civic arch]

i think my dns is cloudflare

its the fastest for me

[sterile cliff]

if its the fastest one thats what u apply

im on cloudflare too

[cold elbow]

I host my own dns

[wispy mesa]

same i manually apply hostnames to IPs, no upstream

[gaunt granite]

I selfhost DNS, and upstream it to 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8

[wispy mesa]

sure same, i use pihole with no blocking just statistics, then use mullvad tracking/adblocking

[cold elbow]

Adguard is a good dns

[civic cloud]

weird flex

[lapis haven]

you jealous?

[civic cloud]

Always

[brave field]

Adguard Home is better than Pihole out of the box but arm builds are rare

[fervent granite]

oh sick this is just off-brand pihole

didn’t think they’d make something like that for free

[brave field]

off brand with DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS built in

and a prettier gui

[fervent granite]

pihole gui isn’t that bad

[brave field]

Yeah, its fine

[lost fossil]

i remember when i set up pihole (most likely incorrectly) and the torrent container in my proxmox stopped resolving everything

so kinda had to move back to the regular setup

[wispy mesa]

interesting

[cold elbow]

Reminds me that i left some ports open and people were using my dns to ddos

[wispy mesa]

ah yes my favourite wifi speed

[icy holly]

NASA wifi

[snow rover]

that's "only" 405 mbps

[icy holly]

But why in bps

[icy holly]

If ur getting 405 mbps that’s still nasa Wi-Fi

[fresh heron]

That's more like 10gbps

[lost fossil]

you're wrong on that one

[nova steppe]

That's literally residential at this point

[arctic yarrow]

Is that on a wifi 5 or wifi 6 card?

405 is about the maximum I've seen for wifi 5 in real life tests.

[snow rover]

dunno i don't even have wifi at home

[latent drum]

Daily reminder to not buy intel cpus

[lost fossil]

this question might sound a bit weird does this graph include amd cpus?

[latent drum]

Nope

Because it didnt happen on AMD systems

[lost fossil]

i know but the question is technically still valid

[latent drum]

Alright then

The white color around the middle circle is AMD cpus

[nova steppe]

that takes up a significantly larger area

[brave field]

haven't read up on the latest updates about the crashing but its interesting that it happens much mroe often on the i9s, despite far less people having them

Power issue? Wouldn't the -KS SKUs be at the top if so?

[warm spoke]

yes

[wispy mesa]

Its a 6 card not 6ghz but 2.4ghz + 5ghz

[nova steppe]

the 6 in wifi 6 is not ghz

[wispy mesa]

Yes that was the point of my message

6 card not 6e

[supple walrus]

who tf still uses 2.4ghz in 2024

hell

my laptop with wifi6 can't even pick up 2.4ghz

[wispy mesa]

alot

All wifi 6 are 2.4 and 5ghz lol

Thats what wifi 6 is

You probably cant “pick” it up due to routers using band steering

[supple walrus]

weird
my wifi has dual networks, one for both
my phone picks up both fine, but not my laptop

[wispy mesa]

Laptop probably is only displaying the highest it needs too

Since it will use 2.4ghz and 5ghz together for wifi 6

[supple walrus]

i mean not like it matters anyway, at least for my phone

I use 5G pretty much all the time because australian NBN (internet) is ASS

[wispy mesa]

My nbn is great

[supple walrus]

somehow we have some of the highest quality + speed mobile infrastructure in the world but still worse than third world for actual internet lmao

[junior flax]

Any recommendations for a new ssd? I have 1.5tb currently but starting to run out and i prefer having my games on ssd then hdd

[wispy mesa]

Got 1g/50 for 120/m

[supple walrus]

if money isn't an issue, the Samsung 980s/990s are great

top of the line

[junior flax]

mhm

[wispy mesa]

Yea one of those or a PNY if you want good but budgetish

[junior flax]

might hold out till prime day and then get one of them

[supple walrus]

Yeah
samsung is the best, but as expected, they're big budget items, price wise

you get what you pay for, as they say

[junior flax]

I could probs delete games but i jus like having them all installed so if i feel like playing something i dont gotta wait hours for it to install 😭

[wispy mesa]

Laptop or desktop?

[junior flax]

Ye i’ll have a look on prime day see if any deals happen

[junior flax]

Desktop

[wispy mesa]

Are you out of NVME spaces?

[junior flax]

No i have 1 left

[wispy mesa]

Ah ok

Yea

Check how its wired

[supple walrus]

I have 2x1tb in my laptop, and i've still got like 300gb space on the secondary 980 evo plus, and 700gb on the OS drive

[wispy mesa]

Either chipset or cpu

[nova steppe]

m.2 is not always nvme, it could be sata

[supple walrus]

ye

[junior flax]

I have 3.5tb total but 2tb is hdd and i dont like putting games on it

[wispy mesa]

Depends on key but yea

[supple walrus]

I can never go back to using HDDs after using M2 NVME for so many years

[wispy mesa]

Me with 9tb total

[junior flax]

ye i mainly just use my hdd now for clips etc that i like to keep

[nova steppe]

i just said that because you said "NVME spaces" and not M.2 slots, is all

[supple walrus]

When I end up building my PC I'm planning to put 2+1tb 990's in it (M2 NVME)

[wispy mesa]

Ye i just only wanted to know about nvme spots

[junior flax]

I wonder if it’s worth moving my boot drive over to a m.2 ssd instead of having it on a 500gb samsung data?

sata *

[nova steppe]

for raid? it would be more economical to just do 1 2tb if not

[wispy mesa]

I have my boot on sata too lol

Wanna upgrade my boot to cpu based nvme and get a new sata to replace that

[junior flax]

Ye i’ve had it on there for a few years

[supple walrus]

not raid per se, I just like having a split system so I can have redundant backups

[nova steppe]

not really, unless you're running a bunch of programs on it that would perform better with low latency, like Premiere

[supple walrus]

my laptop already has one so i might aswell stay the same

[junior flax]

Not rlly mainly just use my pc for gaming

I do my uni related stuff all on my ipad

[supple walrus]

money isn't an issue so, lol
my build is like just under 3k USD for the tower alone

[junior flax]

I’m so glad i just slowly upgraded my pc over years

it’d make me feel so bad to have a lump sum like that gone 😭

[nova steppe]

that's most often more cost in the long term, though

[supple walrus]

4080S + 9900X (when it releases - currently planned to be a 7800X3D)

[junior flax]

Ye i’m shit at saving so couldn’t save that much 😭

[supple walrus]

yeah I did a lifecycle comparison cost awhile ago, I'll see if I can pull figures

[junior flax]

Ima hold off upgrading for a bit rn tho i’m happy w where my pc is at

I currently have
r5 5600x
2080 super
32gb ram

[nova steppe]

every couple of times I get upset at my games, I debate just selling most of my components, but then I remember I still need the CPU for music programs and plugins, so the only thing I can downgrade is my gpu and total storage

[supple walrus]

found it

[junior flax]

I mean what i’ve done past few years is just focus on one part of the pc at a time

As i only got a job a year ago i used to have to rely on bdays/xmas n stuff

So one year i redid gpu

next cpu, ram mobo

then a few months ago i got new case, aio, fans

[nova steppe]

but if you change mobo, then you'd also have to change CPU

[supple walrus]

^

[junior flax]

^

i did them together

[supple walrus]

be grateful that the 9000 series are AM5

[nova steppe]

ah

[junior flax]

i got a bundle from scan.co.uk which saved me a little bit of money

For me doing that each year has helped me play what i want and i’m happy w my build rn

next thing i’ll probs upgrade is to am5 platform

[supple walrus]

once costings release, based off tech specs, the 9600X/9700X are great budget platforms

hopefully they're near parity cost wise to the 7000 series

[arctic yarrow]

IOT devices

[junior flax]

Ye i’m off for summer now for around 2 months so going to be doing abit of overtime at work so might look into that

[supple walrus]

speaking of
3G shutdown here in Australia is sending a lot of IOT devices into not fun times lmao

like eftpos terminals, medical equipment, all sorts

[arctic yarrow]

IOT devices that solely rely on cellular is... not a smart move IMO.

[supple walrus]

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-06/telstra-to-extend-3g-network-shutdown/103808110

[supple walrus]

many are REALLY OLD

[nova steppe]

so was 2G already shut down?

[supple walrus]

i'd have to check, but yeah

[nova steppe]

hmm

[supple walrus]

australia's 5G rollout has been astronomical

and there's 4G coverage in like

98% of the country or something, at least in the case of Telstra

Purple = 5G, Green = 4G, Blue = 3G

98% of the population^, not area

also shows how empty the middle of australia is lmao

[civic cloud]

[shadow star]

is it all just....forest??

[wispy mesa]

no

its desert i guess

bushland

[shadow star]

[shadow star]

I have heard so much about Australian forest fires so I assumed that aus is full of forest

I thought you banned rai for sending a map of Australia 😭

[supple walrus]

lol

[civic cloud]

We should do that tbh

[lapis maple]

@pallid zephyr a good reference would be linus tech tips scrapyard wars for you

I've forgotten everything except for the first one but essentially he showed in that how you can get a decent setup for cheap

i.e. by getting older parts that still work well but just have lost a lot of value over time

so perhaps you can go back to like the what 2017-18 top of the line stuff with like intel 7th or 8th gen, nvidia 1000s and see what fits your budget

[pallid zephyr]

Thanks man im looking forward to it🙏

[lapis maple]

no idea how much those cost now but you can build a pretty respectable rig with those parts

although keep in mind custom built especially in this situation is probably gonna be way easier and cheaper than finding a good completetly intact rig

[pallid zephyr]

Yea bro, i just need a low end pc which can run almost any games on potato graphics😅

[lapis maple]

yea so then maybe cheeck out i5s from 7th or 8th gen paired with like a 1050 or 1060

or even 900s graphics cards depending again on budget

or a 1030

[pallid zephyr]

That looks fine

[lapis maple]

all comes down to how much you can find them for

[pallid zephyr]

What might be the lowest yet but a good old one which cab barely run anything

[lapis maple]

a 1070 or 1080 would be fantastic but those should probably be paired with an i7 (7700 or 8700 would be amazing) but that's inevitably gonna be more expensive

hmm

[pallid zephyr]

Thanks for that info sir🙏

[lapis maple]

you can look at gtx 950 or 960

with an intel i5 from around the same time

I probably wouldn't go older than that if you want to keep playing the games you like. even gtx 900s is pushing a bit imo

[outer ledge]

1080ti should be great

[mellow steppe]

7th gen works like a charm, i know it since thats what i use. i7 2600

[lapis maple]

& that along with 16gb of ddr4 ram, like a 650w psu and a B-series mobo would be neat

[lapis maple]

yea I remember in like 2018 or smtg i7 8700k, gtx 1080ti was like my dream

[mellow steppe]

im actually looking to get 1080ti

[lapis maple]

and 7700 was amazing too

[mellow steppe]

i currently got a 550ti xDDDD

[lapis maple]

💀 yea good idea

[pallid zephyr]

Thats a whole lot of numbers😂

[mellow steppe]

its a fossil lol

[lapis maple]

idk older parts actually so

[lapis maple]

tl;dr
good:

• Intel i5 7th or 8th gen
• Nvidia GTX 1050/1060
  still decent:
• Intel i5 older
• Nvidia GTX 950/960

[mellow steppe]

seriously, once i switched out my 550ti, im gonna hang it up on my wall as a relic lol

[lapis maple]

probably someone else can give advice on if any older stuff can still hold up but I doubt

[lapis maple]

would be cool to show ppl

you don't see old cards a lot

[mellow steppe]

Especially that has been used this much

this card served me since 11 years lol. Its retirement is long overdo

[lapis maple]

damn

have you looked at 1600s actually

[mellow steppe]

Honestly speakong, probably its my cpu that has been carrying the poor thing

[mellow steppe]

i dont think i got big enough power supply for that

[lapis maple]

idk price performance differences vs a 1080ti tbh but good cards that are significantly newer

what even are the power usages for each

[mellow steppe]

my prob is my mother board is quiet an oldie too. Cant support 1600s

[lapis maple]

oh damn that's not what I expected

[mellow steppe]

the things i know for sure it can support are 1050ti, 1060ti, and 1080ti

[lapis maple]

yea true

[shadow star]

How about i5 11th Gen

[lapis maple]

much more expensive

price is a big concern for him so 7/8th gen seems to me like still respectable but older hence cheaper

[mellow steppe]

honestly cpus are pretty good even older ones

as long as you pair it up with a decent enough gpu, they will chug along

[lapis maple]

1660ti has a graphics card power of 120w and minimum system power* of 450w, 1080ti just shows max graphics card power of 250w

no single measurement to compare

[lapis maple]

fair, but idk older stuff lol

[mellow steppe]

what limits me is my power supply and my mother board

[lapis maple]

how many watts and what chipset

[mellow steppe]

HP Z210 and the watts im not really sure. Gotta check that at some point.

[lapis maple]

ah yea that's also old

I'm sure you'll figure smtg out

my strat for my PC is just milk it dry and replace the whole thing when the time comes

[mellow steppe]

i dont really wanna replace mine

there is just waaaay too much personal stuff on here that would take hella long time to move to a different pc

[lapis maple]

yea fair

[brave field]

the 1050 was weaker than the 960 on release, go for the 1060 6gb if you have the choice

The RX 580 will likely fit in the budget better if you end up having to purchase it yourself instead of finding

[cursive skiff]

tried to downgrade but then the software tells me that the time has run out of using the old one

something like that

[compact sierra]

https://www.mcbaincamera.com/productdetail.php?mcbain_id=U8904783 is this a good entry level camera?

Entry-level APS-C (crop) sensor DSLR camera with kit lens
This used item is in "bargain" condition with a shutter count of 18,485

is the shutter count of this dslr camera good

[wispy mesa]

what is your use case

[compact sierra]

night time sky photos and night time architecture photos of buildings

and wildlife and nature photos

[wispy mesa]

so star trails

or just sky pictures?

the camera should work for both of those, only issue i can see is the lense highest aperture is f3.2 which may not be enough to make dark shots have good details

see this

since its lighter it allows you to lower ISO

if you got another lense with the camera youd probably be good

[compact sierra]

this d5000 i linked has a f3.5 to 5.6 lense

[wispy mesa]

yea

[compact sierra]

so yes star trails and sky pictures

[wispy mesa]

so f3.5 is a bit to high for night pictures

[compact sierra]

can it still work

[wispy mesa]

oh yea

you just wont have as much play in lighting after the fact

for editing

but for entry level youll probably be fine

[compact sierra]

i could always just upgrade to a better lense

[wispy mesa]

yep

[compact sierra]

later on

how is the lense going to perform in conditions without any lights or street lights

[wispy mesa]

it should be fine, youll just need to have a longer exposure and a tripod

if you wanna take a picture of the sky with a forest below

get a nice torch that can change its brightness

and you can manually light up subjects as you want

[compact sierra]

ive seen some use these work lights people use on contruction sites to light up the night sky

[wispy mesa]

if youre trying to lightup clouds yes

[compact sierra]

will the kit lense that it comes with work well when trying to capture photos of birds in midflight

[wispy mesa]

uhm im not sure the camera its self can shoot fast enough, if this page of specs im looking at is real

4fps with full frame shots

it can do 1/4000 of a shutter speed

meaning it can take pictures of birds without blurry wings

but that depends on if you can get the shot you want

in 4 or so shots per second

[compact sierra]

is that fast enough

[wispy mesa]

in modern cameras 4 shots per second is very low

so it depends on luck and a bit of skill of getting the shot you want

imagine playing a game in 4fps

and youre trying to line up a moving box in the middle

might be a bit hard

[compact sierra]

on the mcbain camera website it says it has a shutter count of 18,485

i'm not sure what this means

[wispy mesa]

means its taken 18,485 pictures in its life

since its second hand

thats pretty good

[compact sierra]

https://www.vistek.ca/store/470793/EOS-Rebel-T3i-w-EF-S-18-55mm-IS-?

i did find this one that's slightly more

only 249

[wispy mesa]

that one has a 3.7fps

but as a higher mega pixel count

3.7fps with autofocus

so you if can manual focus it may go faster

[compact sierra]

https://www.vistek.ca/store/470225/D300s-Body--? also found this d300

has a 24 fps rate

[wispy mesa]

the 24fps is a video frame rate if you want to do movie etc

With Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL3e: Approx. 1 to 7 fps (CL), Approx. 7 fps (CH); With optional Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D10 and Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL4a: Approx. 1 to 7 (CL) fps, Approx. 8 fps (CH)*
*With a battery other than Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL4a, the continuous shooting speed may be slower than 8 fps in continuous high-speed mode.

this one goes up to 7 which isnt bad

[lost fossil]

[wispy mesa]

lmao

[compact sierra]

does the type of lense effect the fps on the camera

[wispy mesa]

it can lower it yes, but generally wont make it higher

[lilac heath]

Android?

Thought so

Downgrade to 126.21 stable
Best version imo

[fervent granite]

205.0 works too

[lilac heath]

[fervent granite]

I was able to download Fallout 4 under 1hr while playing GTA 5 online using this ^

[nova steppe]

it's more your download speed, the SSD cache, and the cpu overhead that matters more, as you'll never hit those write speeds

[sterile storm]

Well is 60 gigabytes of a game downloading under 1hr good?

[nova steppe]

for most people, yeah

[sterile storm]

Okay that's good. I bought the extended storage for GTA 6 when it comes out next fall, and Star Wars Outlaws, Lego Horizon Adventures, Funko Fusion, and TDU Solar Crown

[sterile storm]

The Acer SSD comes with a foam pad instead of a Heatsink, does the foam pad help absorb heat too?

[nova steppe]

that's a thermal pad that's supposed to be used between the ssd and a heatsink

[sterile storm]

Well that's what came on the Acer one

[sterile storm]

Is the thermal pad helpful?

[nova steppe]

it's supposed to be in between a hot object (in this case, an SSD) and a heatsink. On its own, it does nothing

[sterile storm]

Can you buy a heatsink separately to add onto it?

[nova steppe]

yes, i've done so before

idk why that ssd would come with a thermal pad and no heatsink tho

[sterile storm]

Do u think I should for my ps5? Or should I be okay?

[sterile storm]

True, it is only $129 for 2tb so that's pretty cheap

[nova steppe]

I have no clue how hard PS5s push SSDs in terms of thermals, so it would really only be worth it if you're constantly downloading games, and not just the occasional game here and there

[sterile storm]

Oh yeah I barely download games

I do play them often

If it becomes a problem how can I tell the issue, or see it

[nova steppe]

you'll see a sudden drop in write speed because it's thermal throttling

[sterile storm]

What does the write speed do?

[nova steppe]

that's just the speed of the data being written to the drive

[sterile storm]

So like loading a game, or downloading something?

[nova steppe]

yeah

well, not loading the game, that would be the read speed, but the download, yes. as well as saving games

[sterile storm]

Like for an example, I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077, and I go to save the game, but it takes to long for it to save, is that how it'd work?

[nova steppe]

ye, but that's such a short time that it should be fine

the longest it would be under load is downloading a game, say, 50gigs or larger

[lost fossil]

big folder lmfao

while the topic is ssds, a reminder that qlc drives get a bad rep but they're the perfect fit for a game library bc you don't download games often for qlc speed to be an issue and the $/gb is very good

[lost fossil]

very hard because the ps5 m.2 slot is in a closed off place with zero airflow

[nova steppe]

it's the companies that keep adding heatsinks with the OFFICIALLY LICENSED PS5 ssds

[sterile storm]

Gotcha

[sterile storm]

So ur saying heatsinks are useless for the ps5?

[fervent granite]

drill a hole in ps5 for airflow

[lost fossil]

the opposite

you need as much heatsink as possible

[sterile storm]

So I should buy a heatsink if I buy to many games or something?

Rn I only used 100 gigabytes of 2Tb.

[lost fossil]

what ssd is it

[sterile storm]

This

[lost fossil]

hm

it's gen 4 so it gets toasty

[sterile storm]

How much are heatsink add ons for the ps5?

[lost fossil]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QT5DH1X/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT5F8ZXD/
smth like this

[sterile storm]

Not September for the first one XD

[sterile storm]

When should I be worried about having a heatsink on it?

[lost fossil]

when you're donalding a lot of games

even if you don't, it's not good for the drive to run very hot for a long time

[exotic patrol]

?

[nova steppe]

i would, too

[exotic patrol]

why

[nova steppe]

[sterile storm]

Does it get hot periodically?

[civic cloud]

Damn bitch got ignored by the AI

[rich latch]

So I have this problem of putting my controller in my lap and it constantly falling out and hitting the floor and now the charger doesn’t stay in how do I fix this or should I just take it to GameStop

[wispy mesa]

Explain more

Confused

[rich latch]

Charger won’t stay in controller

It used to tho

When I first got it

Like last month

It just falls out randomly

[wispy mesa]

Try different cable but if that doesnt work, probably return it sounds like a defect

Or you can squash the metal a bit

So it holds in better

[lost fossil]

it's not a defect if he fucked it up

[wispy mesa]

well he said it drops because it falls out

[lost fossil]

i remember that the micro usb used to not stay connected to my old tablet, it turns out to be a worn out cable

[wispy mesa]

nothing really indicates he dropped it first in his messages

[lost fossil]

putting my controller in my lap and it constantly falling out and hitting the floor
now the charger doesn’t stay in

he kept forgetting that his controller is on his lap

now after years of abuse the connector or the cable gave up

[wispy mesa]

ah ok yea i misread that

[lost fossil]

so he fucked up

[wispy mesa]

i though he meant it dropped off lap because the cable isnt stay in

[lost fossil]

try a diff cable, if the issue stays then a local tech repair shop should be able to fix it for relatively not expensive

[rich latch]

Falls off my lap onto the floor

[rich latch]

Ok

[lost fossil]

i wonder what ctrl+esc+f5 does

what if it deleted cookies for the website and then reloaded the page

[junior flax]

selling my gpu today what would be smthing safe to put it in my backpack while travelling there?

i was thinking of rolling it up in a t shirt

[junior flax]

or hoodie

would that be fine?

[exotic patrol]

no

[lost fossil]

i feel like a towel would look less unprofessional

also make sure that whatever you end up using is made from cotton so that there's no risk of static buildup

[junior flax]

ye idk about the towels we have in my house about that

but i have 100% cotton t shirts so

[junior flax]

only to a friend so that’s fine

[wispy mesa]

i put mine on the back seat and drove normally

unless shipping

[junior flax]

i don’t drive and using public transport so 😭

[wispy mesa]

ah

get uber

[junior flax]

i’ve wrapped it in a 100% cotton t shirt and hoodie then made sure snug in my bag

[junior flax]

ye i think im gonna do that tbh but idk cos it’ll be like £15 😭

[wispy mesa]

thats the price of a 2hr public transport there and back for me lol

[junior flax]

i get free buses so was gonna use buses

[wispy mesa]

ah ye

[junior flax]

i lose my free student bus pass next month and i’m so sad about it

[native basalt]

yoo i wanna ask a question so informatics is a program at a university that covers topics like Artificial Intelligence and Full Stack Application Development (FSD). Which one do yall think is more interesting?

[exotic patrol]

What do you enjoy more

It doesn't matter which one as long as you like and are interested in that specific field

[wispy mesa]

FSD is more likely to be properly 'developed' as a course and AI may still be a new course that is rough and needs 'testing'

[exotic patrol]

When you say FSD I think of tesla's full self drive

[wispy mesa]

yea lol

[native basalt]

Honestly I was looking forward more into Computer science that specializes in cybersecurity, but unfortunately this program isn't available. The programs they mention that is similar to it was AI and FSD

[exotic patrol]

I'd personally recommend FSD for that

Rai already mentioned the pros and cons for each and FSD is more suitable I think

[native basalt]

Thanks for the feedbacks!

[civic cloud]

I think of Full Scale Demonstrator

[shadow star]

My college has both the courses and I can say with full confidence that FSD course students are more happy than AI students

[shadow star]

I’m also kinda fascinated by cyber security but I think it’s not for freshers plus it’s kinda tough to get in

[stuck lichen]

are NZXT prebuiltd good for the price?

[brave field]

NZXT BLD's pricing is okay sometimes. Have to make sure there are no Walmart/Newegg/Microcenter deals first. Its usually better than Dell/HP if you want a gaming-focused system

[dire ruin]

that's what i got. it lasted me pretty long for $1500

just recently had to replace the psu

[civic arch]

is there any good programs that are free

for making music

like electronic so no need for vocals

im interested in messing around no solid idea yet what i would make

[brave field]

LMMS!

[civic arch]

how hard is it to learn ?

[brave field]

also I think Reaper still has a free tier if you want something used by professionals

[civic arch]

some tutorials exist?

i think my compressor is from the reaper website

really nice and plugs into equalizerapo

do i get the stable version of lmms?

[brave field]

A little complex compared to other software, but most DAWs are. I can say its similar enough to FL Studio. You can probably use other DAW tutorials as long as you get a feel for where things are in the GUI

[civic arch]

open source software is my beloved so gonna mess around with tht

thanks i will check those out

will start with lmms

[civic arch]

lmms has alot of resources on it

pretty nice

Hello chat, can I get some advice on a PC I'm building? I'm new to everything and just ordered a Ryzen 7 processor

[outer ledge]

What Ryzen 7? That is the least important part of a CPU's name bruh

[uneven heron]

Ryzen 7 5700X

I didn't realise there was multiple iterations

[nova steppe]

and the advice you wanted was...? 😅

[uneven heron]

Is it a good purchase?

[nova steppe]

if you got a good deal on it, yeah. Purely on market value, it's better to get the plain 5700 over the 5700X, from just a few comments I've been told, but it's a good chip nonetheless

[uneven heron]

Thinking of pairing it with the Radeon RX7700 XT

[civic arch]

sounds pretty solid

how much more is an 7800xt or a 7900 gre

7700xt is on par with a 4070 basically

[uneven heron]

Like £100+

I'm using Amazon as a base guide

[civic arch]

no idea on ryzen cpus tho

i got a ryzen 5 7500f myself

works well with a 780xt

did u already have am4 mobo?

7500f is basically the same as a older gen ryzen 7

[uneven heron]

I have no clue what that is.

I've been given a list of parts to collect and I know someone from work who builds PCs as a hobby. I'm planning to upgrade from my 2017 Dell laptop and get a PC

[civic arch]

x3d might be faster in some games tho

if the game likes 3d cache

[nova steppe]

I had a 1700X

[uneven heron]

It's an MSI monitor

[uneven heron]

Idk why not? They can also be a soundbar

[civic cloud]

thats crazy

[civic cloud]

factorio loves 3D Cache

[civic arch]

factorio is capped to 60fps

[nova steppe]

performance is not just fps

[civic cloud]

okay and? It keeps those 60fps longer

Performance will (eventually) go down if your factory has grown a lot

I've only managed to get the game below 60fps once and that was only for a few seconds

[civic arch]

the factory must grow

[civic cloud]

THE FACTORY MUST GROW

I can't stand bolsters on chairs anymore

[cold elbow]

Yeah lol

And it looks ergonomically bad

[charred otter]

What is a bolster

Well i ordered it whilst i was away here so

I yolod it

I even joined the LTT discord and was gonna ask questions ive had but i never did

[nova steppe]

The parts the come off the sides of the backrest

[charred otter]

I personally like my chair

[nova steppe]

You can't lean over in the chair because of them, and if you do it anyway, it's uncomfortable, as they're usually just the outer material, with a thin strip of PU filling, then the hard plastic behind. At least on the cheaper ones.

[nova steppe]

Yeah, for now

[charred otter]

Ive had for a few weeks now

A month actually

Fae better than my old one

I tried looking for months for a good chair

[clever hornet]

currently coding a login form with rate limiting and anti brute force attacks, how long should I keep attackers from logging in? 15 minutes?

thinking of making it last 24 hours idk

it currently logs failed login attempts to my database

[brave field]

I think it depends on what you consider an attacker

[clever hornet]

like say someone is trying to gain access to your account through password guessing

im preventing that with anti brute force measures

[brave field]

Is it multiple fails on one account from one IP? Multiple attempts at different accounts from one IP? Attempts from different countries at once? One browser user agent trying multiple accounts? etc.

[clever hornet]

yeah it logs the IP Address

also made my sign up form log IP Addresses too

[brave field]

But then you have the issues of VPN users getting blocked or CGNAT users getting blocked or attackers being able to spawn new ipv6 addresses after getting blocked

[clever hornet]

true

should I disallow VPN IPs?

im using PHP btw

trying to code a secure social network 😂

[brave field]

maybe do x attempts per username per country, and have the block timer only be lifted after clicking a link sent to the account's email

[clever hornet]

smart

ill try it

[brave field]

but then you can have a denial of service...

[clever hornet]

ill use cloudflare

coding a social network from scratch is complex af 😂

[brave field]

I mean, someone with a botnet could repeatedly send requests to keep the user constantly having to go into their email to get the ban lifted

These questions kill my motivation to develop anything lol

[clever hornet]

Lol

I mean its easy with PHP

easiest backend language to use

my fave language too

whats urs?

[brave field]

I really like Python, but Kotlin is a close second

[clever hornet]

idk if you can make a social network in python

[brave field]

Python get a lot of use for web backend, its been done before
Reddit and Instagram use Python to some degree

[clever hornet]

see my vision is to make a social network with an AI powered news feed and more

and a chatbot helper

[brave field]

Sounds like a fun project to make

[clever hornet]

gonna be the first AI powered social network

[brave field]

What will the AI elements do? Is it responsible for recommending news from other websites? Summarizing the news from multiple sources? Or promoting news related to what the user prefers to search for?

[clever hornet]

got muted for trying to post my code lol

[brave field]

the bot can get annoying the few times someone posts code here :/

[clever hornet]

fr I was only pasting my database schema

[brave field]

How do you deal with those types in your DBMS and PHP database libraries?

[clever hornet]

I use phpmyadmin

-- Create users table
CREATE TABLE users (
id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
username VARCHAR(50) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
password VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

My users table so far

[brave field]

Does everything in your tech stack agree on what type TIMESTAMP is, for example?

[clever hornet]

ill post it in small snippets to avoid mutes

[brave field]

wait wait it'll do it again

even if split into multiple messages

[clever hornet]

dang

yeah I use timestamp as you can see

[brave field]

Your PHP libraries and DBMS agree on the format and everything for it? Nothing like ISO-8601 being preferred in your language but your database wanting a unix timestamp?

[clever hornet]

yep the SQL works fine

even using bcrypt for password hashing

[brave field]

nice

Do you see a benefit to salting them as well?

[clever hornet]

yeah enhanced security

they'll be protected by a secure salt string in the database config file as well

[open wedge]

[civic cloud]

Why

[wispy mesa]

you are correct

NFC requires a antenna, they just cut it away

[exotic patrol]

I guess the way they got it to look real is by recording it previously then timing it with him getting close to the chip

But I figured that there was no way the chip is all it took

i have that cpu but it has an X on it 😮

[civic cloud]

How bad is it to cut the power to your pc before turning it off

[nova steppe]

if you've cut the power, that's no longer "before turning it off"

and windows does not like to be interrupted suddenly, so if you keep doing it, it will ask to do a chkdsk when you boot up, if not worse

just use the shutdown option so that everything goes through its proper sequence

[civic cloud]

You get what I mean

[nova steppe]

i didn't apparently

[civic cloud]

mf changed PFP mid convo

[nova steppe]

that's discord

you're on mobile, aren't you

[civic cloud]

anyway I started it up again and I didn't greet me with an error message so all gucci 🤝 I just need to be less on autopilot when turning my stuff off for the night

[civic cloud]

yes 🥺

[lost fossil]

i have this monitor lamp (the kind that linus hates) and it has a remote, it's "hold to turn off". i also have my windows set to turn off the screens when pressing the power button and there have been a couple times when i held the power button instead of the remote

[civic cloud]

Brain doing funny things fr

Also those monitor lamps are pretty cool, especially when you have to work at your desk

Like when you're studying

[civic arch]

why use a monitor lamp

just turn on the damn lights

my eyes would kill me if i did not have any light

ips panels look way better on higher brightness too

[charred otter]

Wait so hitting the power button isnt good

Not the psu power switch

The one on my case

[nova steppe]

if it's set in windows that a single press will initiate a shutdown, then that's following the sequence

pressing and holding until it shuts off is not

[charred otter]

It turns off yeah

[nova steppe]

doing either of those things results in turning off

[lost fossil]

it doesn't work quite like that, not with it not being 1987

[kindred vapor]

it used to be a problem back in day of xp
nowadays doesn't really affect much
but frequent happenings will have significant impacts

[civic cloud]

Using the big ceiling light all day is barbaric

[civic cloud]

ok but are those impacts zod?

[kindred vapor]

it's mostly software failures
but these days many software are designed to handle them
for example chrome will restore your tabs
wallpaper engine will ask you to restore plugins
in case of hardware hard disks may develop errors which is why amadeus was advising chkdsk

you might also run sfc scannow

[civic arch]

why???

[civic arch]

why is chrome so unstable these days

[civic arch]

???

[kindred vapor]

ask google??

[civic arch]

firefox would be the best but it cant handle all things

[lilac heath]

Which game?

[civic cloud]

Yeah chrome did the restore tabs thing, so all good :) do I have to do the scan thing or is that optional

[kindred vapor]

doesn't hurt

[civic cloud]

It hurts because I have to figure out how to do it first

I'm old and don't have time to tinker with my pc

Damn maybe I should go back to console for gta6

[kindred vapor]

don't you dare

[kindred vapor]

it's very easy

run cmd as admin

then type chkdsk

thats it

same goes for sfc /scannow

[verbal vector]

GTA and No man's sky

[lilac heath]

And how much fps do u get

[verbal vector]

50-60 in gta and 20-30 in nms

[exotic patrol]

Open Nvidia control panel then manage 3d settings and make sure that your OpenGL renderer is not set to Auto

[verbal vector]

ok ill check that rn

[lilac heath]

Right click on desktop>Nvidia Control Panel>Manage 3D Settings>Program Settings>Add GTA5.exe>Just under that choose High Performance Nvidia Processor

Then apply the setting

Do the same for no man's sky

[exotic patrol]

let him do the opengl renderer first so it applies for everything incase it's using the iGPU

Also where is he checking the usage

rivatuner overlay or Nvidia overlay

[lilac heath]

Didnt ask him

[exotic patrol]

Anything would be valid except task manager

[civic cloud]

How do I do that

[lilac heath]

True

[kindred vapor]

Type cmd on start and then Crtl Shift Enter

[exotic patrol]

I thought that only worked in the run box

[kindred vapor]

Works on start too

[exotic patrol]

Nice

[verbal vector]

okay my setting for opengl rendering gpu is on auto-select

[exotic patrol]

Put it on the gpu

[verbal vector]

ok... did that

[exotic patrol]

ok but what are you using to see the usage

[verbal vector]

i just use alt+r for nvidia's tracker

[exotic patrol]

ok

restart your PC after applying and saving the gpu and see if the usage remains bad

[verbal vector]

[fallow forge]

Is amd still better than intel currently?

[civic cloud]

Crazy

[fallow forge]

The cpus from.the last 2 years?

[kindred vapor]

The cpus from last 2 years by intel are fucked

[lilac heath]

Amazon

[sterile cliff]

i think so yeah

[kindred vapor]

Don’t buy them

[fallow forge]

Checking for a friend

Won 7k on a gambling site with an 80 cent spin

Wants to upgrade

Has a 9900k now

[lilac heath]

Damn

[sterile cliff]

🤑

[civic arch]

how did intel mess up so badly

[kindred vapor]

https://www.techspot.com/news/103876-intel-laptop-cpus-crashing-company-remains-silent.html

[civic arch]

what was the issue on their chips

was it just bad silicon

[kindred vapor]

They are not saying anything

So there are just speculations

[civic arch]

has amd seen a rise in market share?

[kindred vapor]

Yes amd is rising

[civic arch]

is their cpu the same as the gpu seller

their gpus have not been selling that well

[kindred vapor]

Amd makes both cpu and gpu

[civic arch]

wonder if they gonna make less gpus

[fallow forge]

Oof

He wants to get a 4080

[civic arch]

at some point cpus is worth more at the fab

[fallow forge]

But he doesnt plan on upgrading his cpu

9900k with a 4080 is a massivebottleneck

[civic arch]

that sounds kinda bad

atleast a 7600 or a 7800x3d

even a 7600 would probably be fine

[fallow forge]

I got a 7600x

With a 4070

[civic arch]

what kind of hardware does the xbox run

[civic arch]

how high are the clocks on a 7600x

[fallow forge]

No clue

[civic arch]

is it worth the extra 50€

[fallow forge]

Dont look at that

[civic arch]

also no cooler

[exotic patrol]

both use an amd CPU but the Series S uses an unnamed RDNA 2 GPU with 4 teraflops while the Series X uses the same but with 12 teraflops

[civic arch]

i got a pretty similar setup

i have 7500f and a 7800xt

basically amd 4070 in terms of performance

has been pretty great

cs2 runs around 400-450 fps

i kinda wanted to go for 4070 too

but they were 100€ more for a decent model

[fallow forge]

I went from a 12600k and a 2070s to a 7600x and a 4070

Mad difference

[civic arch]

was the 12600k that much worse??

how much difference there was in gta?

[fallow forge]

Went from 85ish fps to 100+

[civic arch]

in online?

[fallow forge]

And i used to be on 1080p, now 4k ultrawide

Yeah

[civic arch]

what about story mode

story mode hits the 184fps cap for me

online too if theres not much people

[exotic patrol]

cap to 150 with rtss

[civic arch]

idk if theres difference

[exotic patrol]

yes

[civic arch]

i just put the cap in the amd thing

adnenaline

[exotic patrol]

oh

ok

[civic arch]

that software is the worst

its really confusing

and people shit on nvidias control panel

[exotic patrol]

The problem with Nvidia panel is how outdated and unstable it is

But it's functional atleast

AMD is like a 50% chance

[civic arch]

how does the 4070 handle 4k ultrawide?

[fallow forge]

No clue

Rarely play gta anyway

[civic arch]

i hate how it forgets my settings

do many games need dlss??

thats a lot of pixels

1440p uw is basically 4k

[lilac heath]

Yeah even tho it is outdated but way more reliable than adrenaline software

[civic cloud]

Wtf

[civic cloud]

Tell him to get a 7800X3D and 4090 and call it a day, he got 7 grand
