i have removed ssd while pc is running

plugging it in wont work

atleast on windows

do modern mobos still have the big ass letters on then that say the model

[brave field]

haven't touched anything AM5, LGA1700, or later

at their prices, they better not

[frail lark]

Meanwhile, since you guys are here:

I also have a 2TB USB 3.0 that worked perfectly fine the last year, but something happened this month with it, is not saving the files that i move on it

Like, Files and Folders, both

They are completely accessible when i copy them on the USB, but if i disconnect it and connect it again, the Folders are Empty

[civic arch]

thats pretty weird

i never heard of such thing so no idea what you should do

[brave field]

some fake drives would overwrite old data with new, but that's new

[civic arch]

is it a usb stick or a drive

do 2tb usb sticks even exist yet

[frail lark]

USB

[civic arch]

what brand is it

all of those 2tb usb sticks seem sketchy af

[frail lark]

Idk if I'm honest, I can't remember…

[brave field]

h2testw it

[frail lark]

Wdym "sketchy"?

[brave field]

If it was a big name brand, you'd probably remember it based off its super high price. Triply so if Samsung

[frail lark]

Which one you mean?, if we talk on that angle where i took the Pic, i used the Top Right one

[brave field]

bottom left in this pic

[frail lark]

Top Left*, i meant

[brave field]

try bottom right

or check your manual to see if ports get disabled when using an APU

[frail lark]

This one?

[brave field]

yeah

[frail lark]

So should i connect it there now?

nothing here

[civic arch]

on the mobo specs its funny how much the 8000 series fuck up the usage

[civic arch]

did you restart

[frail lark]

Yes

[civic arch]

check the power connector too

on the psu end

[frail lark]

I disconnected everything that has to do with power before plugging in the Disk

[civic arch]

the sata power connector

[frail lark]

Where's that?

[civic arch]

the bigger connector

[frail lark]

I'm in the BIOS and seeing this tho

[civic arch]

that might effect it

[frail lark]

Should i change something?

@civic arch @brave field ?

[brave field]

Looks normal to me

They're all enabled, the drive just ain't there for some reason

[frail lark]

So the Disk is just broken?

[brave field]

I don't want to say broken, its not often a dead or dying drive entirely isn't detected. At the same time, you've just reseated the cables when installing it and tried a different SATA port already, those cover most of the problems with detection

Does the laptop's BIOS detect it, even if not an OS? If so, maybe your cables are just bad

[frail lark]

The Laptop BIOS doesn't detect it

[cold elbow]

10% is the new 100%

[ebon oak]

Whoever buys 50 series are wasting their money

Next time imma buy Intel GPU

[frigid echo]

Waiting for the b700 series to see how those stack up

[arctic yarrow]

I'm gonna see if I can nail a 9070 XT tbh

[wispy mesa]

then theres me who actually wants a rtx 50 series gpu because of the bloated tensor cores

[exotic patrol]

get one

[wispy mesa]

i will

[exotic patrol]

which one are you getting

[wispy mesa]

70ti probably

[exotic patrol]

fair

[civic arch]

nvidia is probably not my pick anymore

wayland is absolute pain if u got nvidia

[brave field]

The 4060 is slowly starting to look like a worthwhile purchase

The more I see used 3070 prices climbing this week, and the continued incompetence at AMD.... eugh. The budget cards probably won't exist until June

[exotic patrol]

yep

[compact sierra]

Dumb question but is it possible to download more ram to a pc? I keep getting people on pc in game telling me to download more ram

[arctic yarrow]

Yep, you just go to the web site for it and download more ram

No need to buy sticks of ram off amazon, those are scams.

[compact sierra]

It's actually possible to do that?

I found a gtx 960 is it worth getting?

Can a 250 watt power supply be able to run a gtx 960

[twin bay]

Oh yeah

Hey guys

Can someone help me identify a certain software

I’ve been trying to look for it

But I can’t find it

It’s this coding software

[nova steppe]

@lost fossil

[jovial tide]

https://downloadmoreram.com/ This one I believe, right @arctic yarrow ?

[exotic patrol]

Definitely that one's the best

[jovial tide]

There's a few others, but this one in particular lets you choose your own plan

[compact sierra]

I'll check it out

[sour marsh]

... You have to be trolling at this point

[exotic patrol]

always has been

[compact sierra]

rule 5 • Uphold mature conversations and respect each other; excessive profanity, hate speech or any kind of harrassment will not be tolerated. This includes spam, as well as toxic and aggressive behavior.
does it fall under rule 5?

[sour marsh]

Which part of rule 5 was I violating? Because from where I see here you are purposefully causing problems for other members by asking questions that quite frankly can be found out on their own. Schools has taught common decency in how to search on the internet.

[compact sierra]

your right i should stop and start being decent because it can further risk being muted or banned

[civic cloud]

You only just noticed? It already became a meme to say "stop right there, you're being trolled"

i left the lights off cux my mousepad is really dirty

hold on

if the keyboard was wireless it would be cleaner

[snow rover]

wall mount the monitor

[civic arch]

mouse still barely there

[civic arch]

maybe later that would reduce the wiggle it has

its not any worse if it was not extended

i need to get a bigger table if i want a second monitor

unless i wall mount this and use the arm for the second one

i needed the monitor mount to be on side cuz i hit it with my mouse

[snow rover]

ansi keyboard, based

[lost fossil]

see, having an inverted case and having it on the left just makes sense... a lot more space for mouse movement

meanwhile everyone here is shitting on my australian pc

[exotic patrol]

what kind of motherboard offers UEFI but can't boot from a uefi usb

[thin turtle]

No worries

[lost fossil]

[chilly sky]

Anyone here want to talk about coding dmme

[civic cloud]

No

[supple walrus]

tbh i just have my PC under my desk

[nova steppe]

My desk isn't stable enough to hold my PC, so that's why I put it on the floor.
Then it was due to the lack of space on the desk that would result from doing so.

[lost fossil]

do you live in that one country where houses are made of cardboard and clay?

[nova steppe]

Yeah man

But the desk is Grade A Chinesium made with fiberboard and steel™!

[civic cloud]

Buy a stable desk pls

[lost fossil]

get a concrete wall
get 2 or 3 mounts
use them to wall mount the desk
???????
PROPHEET

[snow rover]

the problem with desks is that if you want anything better than basically cardboard in any reasonable size, you're either making it yourself or paying out the nose and ass simultaneously

[civic cloud]

"making it yourself" is basically buying a nice plate at the hardware store and some legs on amazon

Nice stable desk fur sub 300€

That's barely one afternoon of effort

[sterile cliff]

Or go out chop a tree and craft a desk

Boom

Problem solved

[civic cloud]

OR even better, get on your local version of Facebook market place and get a desk for free

[lost fossil]

buy a door, cut to size

desk done

[sterile cliff]

Oh yeah facebook marketplace is a thing

[lost fossil]

oh wait doors are also made of cardboard these days

well, go to FaZebook marketplace and buy a used door

[sterile cliff]

You can also just prop spawn a desk gmod style

Now to get a prop gun

[civic cloud]

I wouldn't use an American door as a desk

[civic cloud]

Walmart

[lost fossil]

what about a russian door from the 80s?

[sterile cliff]

Hmmm

DA

[civic cloud]

I can only base it on the doors in my grandma's east German soviet block: they seem good enough

[lost fossil]

[civic cloud]

Will probably bend

Just like my IKEA table

I can literally see my PC being tilted towards the middle

[lost fossil]

ur ikea table is made from cardboard, don't ask how i know

[civic cloud]

It's the better, very heavy cardboard

[sterile cliff]

Dont slander ikea, the swedes will carpet bomb ur house

[civic cloud]

That's ok, it isn't my house

[lost fossil]

i will die for ikea, or i mean i would've until the first half of 2022 and beyond

but their computer desks are fucking shit

[snow rover]

i need to make an ikea trip

buy a light and some new towels

[civic cloud]

You get what you pay for, especially the height adjustable ones

[snow rover]

oh and some sealed containers for storing filament

[civic arch]

real

those cardboard tables bend and sometimes even crack

my desk is just a piece of wood i found in the firewood storage space

its solid no complaints

like 1300x600 size aroudn that

[snow rover]

600 is baby size though

i wanted 2000x1000 so my only reasonably choice was diy

[civic arch]

i think 800 would be enough

current size my hands reach the top when gaming

[snow rover]

50cm for mousepad and 40cm for speaker, and you need some breathing room

[civic arch]

i got no room for speakers

[snow rover]

well yeah because you have baby size desk

[civic arch]

my mousepad is 1200x600 too

im probably gonna buy a bigger one soon

most likely like 1600x800

idk if i need 1600x1000

leaves some free room for the pc and the empty cans of monster

is laminate the cardboard stuff tho

[snow rover]

ikea?

[civic arch]

no

if its ikea is it cardboard tho

[snow rover]

well laminate just means it isn't real wood, the structure could be anything from sawdust to hdf

ikea karlby is mdf covered in real wood veneer, the cheaper ones are more cardboard i presume

[nova steppe]

buy me one then? i didn't get this because I wanted it. The desk is so shit, the monitor I have discord on wobbles when I type

[civic cloud]

do you live in the middle of nowhere that the second hand market doesnt exist?

[nova steppe]

i have no income, it's not about locale

[civic cloud]

You can get a lot of furniture for free on the 2nd hand market

[lost fossil]

600 is the only size of kitchen counters that ikea sells

or more like,
600 is the only size of kitchen counters

[civic cloud]

600 is fine for desks

[lost fossil]

if you wall mount your monitors then it's not a big deal

[civic cloud]

800 is better

[lost fossil]

it is better but 600 is what i had to deal with

is gud

[civic cloud]

🤝

[twin badger]

I really need a new desk myself...

and a chair

[manic ibex]

I need chair

Currently using a table chair

[twin badger]

Tables are probably the least convenient thing to upgrade - gotta first of all know wtf u gonna do with your previous desk - whether you are gonna throw that shit out and where, or you gonna sell it off. You gotta get all your peripherals off it. Then, if you buy a desk online, you'll probably be able to get delivery of it to your door step, but if it's something off of FB marketplace - chances are you are gonna have to pick it up yourself. Oh, and then you probably gotta assemble the whole thing, if you buy it new.

Oh and you want a good desk that will last? $$$

[arctic yarrow]

Honestly, I wouldn't go for "gamer racing" chairs, just get a comfortable office chair.

[snow rover]

i was going to use my old desk as a workbench but seeing as it is available flat space, it simply became item storage

[brave field]

@cold elbow 3070 is attractive because I'm on an RX 580 right now lol

I just don't find the 7600 at $230 or used 30 series below the 3070 compelling enough for the price. 3060ti is $30 less than the 3070 and 3060 is another $30 less

and playing at 1080p, vram should be fine with the games I play

emulators, esports, and I get to AAA games once they've been out 5 years

[snow rover]

vram is just a meme thing people use to be mad at nvidia for anyway

[brave field]

I know the correct answer is to wait for the 5060 and 9060 since it'll only be a few months, but those few months feel long this time around

[ebon oak]

Very good gpu

8gigs vram? Imo it's enough for most games

You can't go wrong with that

[brave field]

I think I'm just too out of touch to make a good decision here

as much as I keep up with the benchmarks and listen to the arch breakdowns and all, the way I actually do things doesn't seem to line up with much of the market

b570 vs 3070 vs 7600 reads as AV1 vs blender vs AFMF2 to me

[ebon oak]

Ahhh yes new Intel GPUs are also good budget friendly

They are actually good

But tech support is not that good atm

[brave field]

I am not against a buggy card, as long as they're willing to work with consumers

The progress Arc has made from the A to B series in driver issues has been insane. Meanwhile, AMD continues to tell people on their support forums to just beg productivity application developers to use Vulkan for the viewport and switch to a compute library that'll be replaced in 4 years

@ebon oak What are you using?

[ebon oak]

Recently bought 4090

[brave field]

any challenges?

[ebon oak]

No nothing

I got a proper setup for it

Right psu and motherboard

[brave field]

Playing at 4k?

[ebon oak]

1440p dual

I don't like 4k

[brave field]

ah

Dual, you play on both monitors?

[ebon oak]

One monitor

One monitor i just watch videos

Or discord

[lost fossil]

[ebon oak]

Recent is less than a year

[lost fossil]

[harsh grove]

would it be worth it to invest into a 5070?

[ebon oak]

No

Buy Intel gpu

[brave field]

we don't know how it performs

[lost fossil]

how does one invest in a graphics card

are you a scalper?

[brave field]

I'm gonna be one next cycle if this keeps up

[lost fossil]

[civic cloud]

Ayo

[brave field]

scalpers provide a valuable service and benefit a large number of consumers

they just annoy the other consumers (many of which still use said service)

[civic cloud]

Spoken like a scalper

They are like landlords, but worse

[brave field]

If stock is going to be bad regardless, let the people willing to pay extra pay for their chance. If the stock is better, the scalpers lose money.

but landlords? They provide nothing!

tbh
cardboard and plywood (as all wood)
All made from trees, so, yes, kinda lmao

Idk what wood Ikea desks actually are but
Borderline cheap plywood so lmao

Whoever sniped that before I could get stupid mf discord mobile to @ staff, thanks lmao

[upbeat spade]

depends on the table

the cheap ones are cardboard

they have an internal honeycomb inside made up of cardboard which supports weight while keeping down the weight of the table itself

it's definitely not something i'd put a tower on

[jovial tide]

I managed to snag a pretty solid (for once) desk on Amazon and it's height adjustable too which makes it even nicer. My issue always was that all the desks I had were so flimsy I thought I would break them especuially with my racing wheel lmao

[upbeat spade]

i should get one, but i don't put my pc on my desk anyway

i have a little table under my table that fits the pc 😎 might not have great airflow down there though, but on the other hand heat hasn't really been an issue

but yeah, with a wheel, i'm starting to think i should get a sturdier desk

unfortunately in no position to have a sim rig frame sitting around

[civic arch]

how the hell is a b580 similar to the us pricing

250€

thats way too cheap

sparkle model some others went for 300-340€

[twin badger]

Yes yes! Buy an Intel GPU, so that i can buy the other options for cheaper price!

[twin badger]

Never seen it sell for anything even remotely close to 250 Eur

Usually way over 300

And at that price... no thanks

Especially with the fact, that my 5700X3D would still be affected by driver overhead issues

[ebon oak]

[civic arch]

which model

[twin badger]

Any

[cold elbow]

I just dont understand why amd is not improving in the productive kind of loads...

Do they just not care?

[twin badger]

That's a good question. There is a reason pretty much every Twitch streamer uses Nvidia, the codec on AMD is... goodn't.

Not even gonna go into the Blender performance

[snow rover]

sounds like a skill issue

hevc good

[thin turtle]

What format can be used for templates?

I'm using krita and I want to create a template for pdf or docx

[civic arch]

also its the best thats why streamets got one

i doubth the 4090 is doing any work tho

its all about the fps

[twin badger]

Mmmh, not necessarily.

Even entry level Nvidia card will have a better codec than top of the line AMD one

Obviously the biggest streamers got the best GPU's, which happen to be Nvidia's, but i am more so talking about the average joe

Any word on the pricing, or just rumors?

[lost fossil]

novideo rn:

[brave field]

Not even word on the announcement date

some reviewers have had them since late December, store employees have been posting pics for the past two weeks

two different AMD employees interviewed have blamed unexpected pricing pressure from Nvidia

these cards have to be some of the worst value GPUs ever conceived for their best option to be delaying the announcement of the announcement

[arctic yarrow]

hmmmm.... $500 9070 xt?

[brave field]

I could only guess the original plan was to release the 9070 XT for $1299

so much for my 9060 plans, those cards are probably pushed back to September now

[cold elbow]

Amd radeon marketing never fails to fail

[civic arch]

classic amd

nvidia is avaible soon

the pricing was insane

rtx 5070 starting 679€

ti model is 924€

very affordable and nice

amd hopefully not much worse

tax was raised from 24% to 25.5% too

price on nvidias own site so its gonna be even higher elsewhere

but this on the local SSD

so this means it takes 3 times the space it needs ???

Drive compression?

well no, filecounts

huh

I am still transferring the files but this doesn't look promising

[thin turtle]

The reason seems to be "cluster size"

Since this folder has lots of files it has more wasted storage

[mystic solar]

those poor headphones.. 😭 on my vacation I’m not joking but I broke my MacBook AND my AirPods Max.. that was a great trip ffs

[nova steppe]

how did you "break" them? the headphones, i can understand, but how did you break a whole laptop?

[mystic nest]

Its a mac- if even the screen breaks it essentially bricks the laptop until its replaced with an apple certified display

It happened to me a few times before i switched to windows

[mystic nest]

What CPU do you use? It could be an issue with the windows compatability

[jovial tide]

13th gen intel i9-13900F

[mystic nest]

How old is the thermal paste on it?

It could be overheating

[jovial tide]

Like a month

Temps are fine, it's also water cooled

[mystic nest]

Check your backround apps then

There might be some random process using it up

It might also need to be re seated

[mystic solar]

Some mf stepped on it on the airplane on the way down, and my AirPods just all of a sudden stopped working 2 days before returning home. I contacted Apple and they determined it’s a hardware issue, I’ve gotten estimates before and it would cost more to fix them than get new ones so I got the new usb-c ones

[nova steppe]

damn

[mystic solar]

That was my old MacBook anyways, I have a newer one I left at home so im fine with that,

all ther gamers gonna have fomo and buy that shit

[junior flax]

ye always get applecare

it was like £40 for 2 years of my airpods max

[jovial tide]

Anyone know how I can fix these closed ports?

Only thing I can think of is the ports that sons of the forest gave me are in use, but I also saw reddit posts about the network test bugging out saying they are closed but they actually aren't, so idk.
Skipping the network tests just makes the game not show up in the MP list

[mystic solar]

I usually get Apple products on an auction site that I trust very well bc I get it for half the price, however then there’s no option for AppleCare or I would get it

[junior flax]

ah fairs

[mystic solar]

Like this MacBook Pro I just got, paid 300$ for it and it’s brand new

[junior flax]

paid £1100 for my mcb air 🥲

[mystic solar]

rip.. this one isn’t a new one though. It’s a M1 but idrc my old Mac air was a M1 (which I broke) and I had no issues

[junior flax]

i don’t think much difference between m1 and m3 anyway

m1 still good

all i needed mine for was vm visual studio rlly

[mystic solar]

Fr I don’t think so either unless your using it for some really taxing purposes

Which I’m not lmao just for schoolwork

[junior flax]

ye i think rlly only thing for me was vm windows for visual studio

cos my friend has a m2 8gb air and it lags doing it

[mystic solar]

It’s got that fucking touchbar though.. idk how I feel about it rn

[junior flax]

cos my friend has a m2 8gb air and it lags doing it

while i got a 16gb m3 air

no issues

[junior flax]

i think i’d like it

[mystic solar]

👍 I buy products based on what purpose they serve to me rather than blow a fuck ton of money on something just so I can say I have the “top of the line” like the AirPods Max serve me a vital purpose so I got another set already

All depends on the person use with it

Or if your rich ig (I’m not)

[junior flax]

ye like i needed airpods max my pro 2s started to hurt my ears bad

[mystic solar]

Tbh I’m 99% sure my old ones broke just because I’ve used them so much.. 😂

It’s literally the only explanation I can think of why they broke

[brave field]

@jovial tide Are those ports forwarded from your router?

if you're hosting publicly, and the test is correctly trying to connect back to your public IP (hairpin?), that'll return closed without it being forwarded there

[jovial tide]

Yeah, I went onto the spectrum app and forwarded them. Weirdly enough 7 days to die works fine

[brave field]

did your router have a preset for 7 days, or did you do it manually?

Other things worth looking out for:
You can check for other programs using the port you want by using netstat -ano | Select-String -Pattern "your-port-here" in Powershell
And if you hit the wrong button in this popup, check Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security for an entry named after the exe. The server might be blocked from Windows' end

If buggy, buggy. Annoying.

[agile siren]

i think the forest had option to connect directly via ip address (not too sure) . dosent the second game has it?

also, any idea if game and server supports IPv6?

[jovial tide]

Sorry for the delay, I was away. 7 days I had to do manually. But that I ended up doing a bit differently compared to sons of the forest. I did two different numbers for the internal and external ports. As for the firewall, everything is allowed through, so that shouldn't (cross my fingers) be an issue

[jovial tide]

Not too sure tbh. I can see if it does

The person forgot to remove their information from it

I cannot factory reset it for some reason

[upbeat spade]

google "cannot factory reset mac mini"

[compact sierra]

It's the first time I've had to do this

[upbeat spade]

it's the first time you've ever had to google for instructions?

[exotic patrol]

[fervent granite]

got ‘em

[compact sierra]

This is what I got to work with

So I managed to erase the harddrive but unfortunately reinstalling the OS is going to be a problem

It's really proven difficult since it is throwing up error codes

Alright it keeps giving my this error code

Does this every time I try to reinstall the OS

What could be causing this error

[junior flax]

crucial virus error

be careful..

[fervent granite]

are you trying to install from a usb or with recovery mode?

I prefer installing from a usb i've made vs using recovery mode but it's a little harder to do if you don't have a mac

still possible on a windows pc tho

[compact sierra]

I was trying to re install it through the recovery modes install Mac os setting but it kept that error

[fervent granite]

try manually creating the usb

[sterile cliff]

Thats what she said

[compact sierra]

I haven't tried using USB yet

[compact sierra]

I'll give it a try

[compact sierra]

Alright I think i got it working I did a bit of digging and found out after looking at a few videos i think it had something to do with the date and time

[compact sierra]

How did you create a USB for mac os

I tried changing the date and time but that didn't work but I got a lot more work to do

[fervent granite]

I just followed apple's guide https://support.apple.com/en-us/101578

if you don't have a mac there's probably some software for windows on google that will let you do it

samsung is mid

the operating system is pretty bad imo

one of the worst android skins

Literally everything is customizeable

Thats the only reason i love oneui

No?

Want to see you change menu colors on a pixel without rooting

Volume and upper menus

google phones might be the only one

other android phones not so much

Ur just lying ur teeth out lmao

Huaweii and xiaomi are like that aswell

So is oneplus

what

have you ever used those phones

💔

[civic arch]

why you sucking samsung dry tho

[quartz kayak]

Yes i had a huawei before this one

their android skin sucks ass

[civic arch]

its not that intuitive either

in comparison to other

[lost fossil]

are you sure it's 1:38?

[quartz kayak]

If i wanted something intuitive i d buy an iphone

[civic arch]

weird design choices all around

i have a s21 fe as a second phone and i hate it

its just a bother to use

[quartz kayak]

No wonder its an fe

[civic arch]

yeah stands for failed edition

not a bad phone for the price of 0€

[quartz kayak]

A base s series is better in every way

[quartz kayak]

Thats real

[civic arch]

it has some nice things but the ui is just mehh

good screen and cameras are still there

[quartz kayak]

Ur just not a good user im guessing

[civic arch]

fingerprint under screen also is cool

[quartz kayak]

Everything you hate on oneui you can change to better accomodate you.

I also have the stock oneui experience

But once u tweak stuff out its literally the perfect phone

[civic arch]

not everyone has the time for that

i dont think iphones are that intuitive if you used android tho

They really arent

I tried using an iphone after using an huawei all my life and i honestly hated it

WHERES THE BACK BUTTON

[civic arch]

aint there that motion where you slide your finger from the side

[quartz kayak]

No thats only on android phones

[civic arch]

button is better but no phone has physical ones anymore

[quartz kayak]

To go back theres a button on the top left OR right (they havent figured it out yet)

[civic arch]

i dont use the on screens anymore tho

i use the motions

[mystic solar]

I remember when I used to have to buy a separate app AND pay a monthly subscription just to be able to do this..

[civic arch]

i thought iphone had those too

that android copied em

like from the iphone x days

[quartz kayak]

They are implomenting one that looks just like samsungs but they suck so much in comparison

[civic arch]

with phones getting bigger and bigger a button on the top is a no go

if you want to use it one handed

At least my phone has good security features unlike Samsung where they sell your data to google. At least they have in the past
