I use Firefox despite the recent allegations

It's only the recent thing that's not chromium so

[civic cloud]

One step ahead

Already fully switched to firefox

It's 1 min effort to import all the bookmarks and password

[fickle finch]

something wrong with firefox?

[lapis haven]

firefox ftw

[fickle finch]

Hey lupin how is kali?

[lapis haven]

there's so much to do but got no time for it

but i have it on my home laptop still

[fickle finch]

aw 😦

[lapis haven]

how are you btw?

[fickle finch]

alright im happy with how things are going

[twin badger]

You were STILL using Chrome??

I haven't used it in probably 4 or more years

[lapis haven]

good to hear that man 🤝

[fickle finch]

😄

[fickle finch]

just recently got this it technician job and they have me upgrading windows images, upgrading storage, investigating why pc's arent booting etc

[lapis haven]

that sounds fun to someone who's in love with computers

nice

[sterile cliff]

Microsoft edge

Yes go ahead slander me for my choice

I refuse to switch i actually find it decent

[hasty bear]

i also use it still and i don't hesitate to say this

[twin badger]

That's a pretty foolish decision in my opinion

[hasty bear]

nah i won't mind 👍

[twin badger]

Ight, i am just not gonna bother talking to a brick wall

[hasty bear]

how am i a brick wall now?

[twin badger]

At this point there is literally no reason to use Chrome

Plenty of better browsers out there

[hasty bear]

i know but chrome is less complicated

[hasty bear]

is using chrome a crime?

[sterile cliff]

Yea

Its a crime towards ur ram

[hasty bear]

i haven't given that a thought

thnx for telling me

[twin badger]

How is any other browser more complicated lmfao?

[hasty bear]

nvm

i meant something else, you won't understand it

[twin badger]

Just like i won't understand anyone using Chrome in the big 2025

[exotic patrol]

what do you use

[twin badger]

Currently Brave

[exotic patrol]

fair

[twin badger]

Sure, it's Chromium based, but at least it has proper adblocking

[hasty bear]

never heard of that

[twin badger]

Give it a go

It's good

[hasty bear]

oh my god, soo tech savvy 😱

[twin badger]

Don't gotta be tech savvy to know there are better options nowadays

[hasty bear]

lmao

just kidding, i'll try brave 👍

even tho i've been using edge most of the times now

[snow gazelle]

They finally matched ngreedia in RT

[sterile cliff]

[cold elbow]

Successfully moved to firefox

[civic cloud]

[exotic patrol]

nice pick

[cold elbow]

guys the 9070 xt is a great card
buy it

if its 600$

[rose yacht]

i wish i had the money for a build

[unreal wasp]

boys the dedicated pc building servers intimidate me so i will ask here; is swapping out my motherboard, CPU and RAM whilst keeping everything else the same a possible thing I can do? would anyone be able to direct me to some kind of guide or offer some beautiful, delicious ADVICE

[snow rover]

depends

[snow gazelle]

Yes you can as long as the cpu you're buying consumes same or less power than your older one

[snow rover]

as long as the case is standard atx and the motherboard physically fits, and the power supply has the standard power connectors, yes

[unreal wasp]

INTERESTING

what's the deal with consuming same/less power?

[snow gazelle]

Since you're not changing the psu

A few watts extra won't be a problem tho

[unreal wasp]

oh gotcha

i have done the power calculations and I am covered I think - i want to move from a r7 1700 to an r7 7800x3d but i still need to figure out what board and ram i'd like given that i want 2 m.2 slots

i think this is a situation most people would concede and buy a wholly new computer but i am too stubborn for that, I'll probably soft reset my shit though

[snow rover]

7800x3d is really efficient

[unreal wasp]

i have a 750W PSU, a HDD, a SATA SSD and a 3070 otherwise so i think i am covered

[snow rover]

just looked at some of my clips and it pretty much never goes above 50 watts gaming

[unreal wasp]

oh cool do you have one? would you recommend?

[snow rover]

sure, i bought it right when it came out in 2023

[unreal wasp]

noice - apparently there's some new models coming out so i might wait and see but i've seen nothing but good things about the 7800x3d

[snow rover]

9800x3d is the successor but you're unlikely to notice any difference

[unreal wasp]

i'm also too stubborn to move past 60FPS 1080p and i don't play comp games anyways so my objective is to get something that i can exhume the life out of over a good few years

[snow rover]

dude

3070 and 1080p 60 fps should be a crime

you can get a decent 1440p 180hz monitor for like 250 bones

[unreal wasp]

🦴

perhaps once I have this CPU ordeal done & dusted it will be peripherals time

i'm guessing it's not quite as plug and play as a new GPU, this whole cpu-mobo replacement mallarky

[twin badger]

I don't trust my 3070 Ti to be handling this kind of resolution and framerate on newer games

[snow rover]

good thing all new games are shit

[twin badger]

true that

The only new game i was excited for was stalker 2 and that turned out to be a disaster

So now i am not interested in any new game

Firefox & Ungoogled chromium

[fathom crystal]

firefox is selling data now

switch to brave

[jovial tide]

To quote a friend:

mozilla is still just as committed to privacy, they just want to avoid potential legal trouble as the legal definition of "sale of data" is broad and evolving

Still gunna continue using trusty firefox for the forseeable future.

[supple walrus]

been using brave for a long time, serves me well

[lapis haven]

who isn't?!

privacy is dead

EOF

[civic arch]

has google chrome now blocked adblock for everyone?

is opera gx good browser if you do gaming ?

[cold elbow]

Use firefox

[civic cloud]

Continuing to advance the blocking, some people had it last week, I had it two days ago

[twin badger]

Same

Apart from some memory leaks

But those i've had on every browser

[civic arch]

i had this like 2 motnhs ago

or it got blocked

i was probably unlucky and was part of the test people

google usually pushes shit to just some users

[civic arch]

chromium issue ??

[twin badger]

Not necessarily

I've had it happen on Firefox too

[civic arch]

stupid computer ??

[twin badger]

People really treat that browser as the holy grail, when in reality it's not flawless

[supple walrus]

Brave is the best of both worlds tbh

People complain about all the crypto stuff but it's really easy to opt out of all of it

And when you do, it's a great general purpose browser

[civic cloud]

[civic arch]

i just use edge rn

copilot

[twin badger]

Literally

Also

https://www.reddit.com/r/PcBuildHelp/comments/1j3y1ng/dog_peed_on_pc_advice/

[civic arch]

and you can say you are edging when using it

[twin badger]

[civic arch]

edging > googling

[civic cloud]

Real edging enjoyer

[supple walrus]

And this why you coat your PC in epoxy resin kids

Waterproof that shit

[civic arch]

9070 xt looking kinda juicy

probably not worthh to upgrade to from 7800xt

this thing got plenty of power for cs2 and pubg

both run at 400-500fps

pubg suffers alot if you hotdrop tho

ryzen 5 7500f is holding me back in both

[civic cloud]

Get an X3D chip like everyone else

[supple walrus]

Can confirm
9800X3D cracked as hell

[twin badger]

Expensive too...

[supple walrus]

I somehow got a batch one chip with my build lmao

The next day, all of them were sold out at that retailer

[civic cloud]

5800X3D and 7800X3D are valid choices too

[supple walrus]

and for midrange, the 5700X3D is great

As someone who owns one, the 9800X3D is WILDLY excessive

[civic arch]

gonna cost more than my gpu

those are stupidly expensive

[supple walrus]

I bought one because 7800X3Ds were out of stock, and I had the money to just 'why not'
so I got one

Amazing chip, but overkill for like

99% of use cases lmao

[civic arch]

cheapest 7800x3d is 500€

not worth it

[supple walrus]

At least it'll be good for a decade or more lul (9800X3D)

[civic arch]

i could get a ryzen 9 for cheaper

7600x3d is 400€

[civic cloud]

Then you don't need an X3D chip🤝

[supple walrus]

The non X3D 9000 series chips are kinda bleh
Only really marginal gains over their 7000 series counterparts

[civic arch]

9800x3d is probably even more

i could get a i9 intel

600€ for a cpu is just too much

[civic cloud]

549€ here

[civic arch]

around 580-600€

here

[civic cloud]

Got my 5800X3D for 280 but I waited a few months until it dipped below 300 lol

[civic arch]

7800x3d is overkill for a 7800xt tho

im playing 1440p

[supple walrus]

AUD$936
ooof
I paid AUD$830 for mine, which was like, a week after it launched, and was pretty much bang on MSRP

[civic arch]

how much faster is 9070 xt than 7800xt anyways

[supple walrus]

Wouldn't know, and I haven't been keeping track with launches or reviews so yea

Team Green here, RTX 4080 Super

From what limited I've seen though, the 9070/XT has been getting pretty good reviews though

[civic arch]

new gpus seems to be less and less faster

[civic arch]

good price to performance

rt seems to be still slow

fsr 4 is yet to be seen if its good

5080 are stupid rn

like 500-600€ over msrp

if you want one

basically 4090 pricing

[lost fossil]

when u close firefucks

[civic arch]

what you got open

[lost fossil]

not firefox

[twin badger]

It's pretty good

Just not implemented to as many games

[cold elbow]

Yeah im noticing that firefox is using more ram than chrome

[exotic patrol]

ye Firefox is not as efficient but the compromise is worth it

[cold elbow]

Maybe there are some settings to improve that

[civic cloud]

How the tables have turned

[exotic patrol]

how the turns have tabled

[civic cloud]

oui

[lost fossil]

[cold elbow]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[civic cloud]

┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)

[civic arch]

do you even run out

ram usage just wont matter in most cases

[exotic patrol]

when you have 8gb ye

[cold elbow]

Nope but im just saying

I have 32gb

[void turret]

Do you have 16 firefoxes open separately or are those tabs?

[fickle finch]

maybe microsoft edge was secretly the best browser

[exotic patrol]

one Firefox 2 tabs

It still uses multiple processes

[toxic sentinel]

RX 9070 XT is definitely winner GPU on this generation

If it comes close to RTX 5070 in price there seems almost no reason to get NVIDIA

[supple walrus]

I'm just glad my girlfriend convinced me to buy my build when she did (mid November last year)
Waiting would have been awful lmao

The 5080 is outright worse than the 4080S

lmfao

[toxic sentinel]

And NVIDIA still claiming that RTX 5070 is godlike GPU getting 120fps on Cyberpunk best RT settings

[supple walrus]

L m a o

[toxic sentinel]

While it uses multiframe gen which seems to make so much artifacts

[supple walrus]

and to anyone who says the 4080S is excessive
No, I don't care
I like just being able to crank settings up to max with no fuss about tweaking shit, and the 4080S provides that lmao

[toxic sentinel]

5000 series is a big scam

Performance lift is done by multiframe gen which makes games look like shit

[supple walrus]

my girlfriend says it's just 40 series but they changed fabs (foundries)

Lul

Which seems more and more accurate

Ah well, not my concern
The absolute earliest I'll be upgrading is the 60 series mid life refresh, ala, 6080S, or whatever it ends up being called, or even the 70 series tbh, we'll see

[astral marten]

how Do I find game folders in file browser

I just can't

[toxic sentinel]

If my RX 6600 XT will work fine I probably won’t be upgrading for a while

Or if I will it will be RX 9070/XT

[void turret]

@civic arch What finnish websites you use to order components?

[civic arch]

datatronic and proshop

jimms but its not usually the cheapest

[void turret]

Yeah and I heard about drones. Thanks

[cold elbow]

Microsoft ads were too much to handle

[exotic patrol]

If you literally switch to Google or duckduckgo

Every third open

It'll keep giving you a pop up to use bing

that's horrendous

[civic cloud]

Binf

Bing

[twin badger]

No one really says that

Everyone has their own needs

And if a 4080S is what it takes for you to satisfy those needs, that's fine

[storm marsh]

I’m kinda new into the world of pc building and their components, I know some basic stuff like function of the components(mostly learned at school) as cpu, ram…etc but how do I actually find out if my components are compatible with each other? Is there a some hardware specific to check or it’s a digital control?

also I wanted to buy a the singular components not a pre build of a pc to get my own hands on the work and to customize it as I want, anyone have suggestions of what brand should I buy components?

I only know nvidia is for gpu (graphic card or whatever)

[snow gazelle]

Depends on your budget

[civic cloud]

You want to choose your CPU (Intel or AMD) and GPU (Intel, AMD, Nvidia) first.
The choice of CPU limits your possible Motherboard Choices (AM4/AM5 socket for AMD, LGA XXXX for Intel)

The motherboard then limits your possible RAM choice (DDR4 or DDR5)

PSU are standardized, will fit basically everything (unless you're buying weird proprietary motherboards)

Some Nvidia GPUs have a special power connector, but adapters exist

[snow gazelle]

First start with the monitor. What resolution and frame rate you wanna play on

[storm marsh]

I’m not very competent on This field

I’ll get myself more info and then comeback

[storm marsh]

I’m saving myself some money, I’m at 50$/1000$

[snow gazelle]

What display do u use for your console?

[storm marsh]

but the 1000$ would probs me my max

[storm marsh]

What monitor?

It’s not a proper monitor, more like a small tv

Samsung anyways

not very big when I get home I’ll try to look for specifics

[storm marsh]

What’s a PSU? It’s the only thing I don’t know

[civic cloud]

Power Supply Unit

[nova steppe]

Prices change and new hardware releases (like how there was just two big launches in the GPU market), so it's not the best idea to make a list early.

You're better off saving the money first then looking for parts.

Doesn't mean you have to drop the search, however, as research is research.

[sterile cliff]

i mean a 1000 dollar budget

thats still decent

just wait a little longer id say

[storm marsh]

I’m still saving money, as a teenager I don’t have a proper income I do little jobs but they pay 4/5$

[storm marsh]

The 5090 of Nvidia was right? It’s like 2k $

[twin badger]

Keep at it

$1000 should get you a proper gaming PC

though you gotta factor in all the peripherals too

and that's an additional cost

[storm marsh]

Like wires?

[twin badger]

no...

monitor

mouse

keyboard

headphones

[storm marsh]

my bad English doesn’t let me translate good

[sterile cliff]

A small income is still an income keep at it big man

[sterile cliff]

Even cheap periphals can get u gaming

[civic arch]

9070 xt prices released

[sterile cliff]

Although u gotta know what to buy

[storm marsh]

It’s very very small I’ll probably end up going for the 18yrs that I’ll have like 100$

[twin badger]

Granted, you could still build, let's say, a $650-$700 budget gaming PC and spend the rest on the peripherals

[civic arch]

scalping or what but chepast is 720€ and others are around 860€

[storm marsh]

I’m turning 17 so I’ll probably straight away save everything I’ll get on birthday

[twin badger]

Yeah, but... i would not go too cheap

So that you don't end up buying total ewaste\

that you are gonna wanna replace pretty quickly

[storm marsh]

I already got some peripherals, a pair of gaming headset Bluetooth , ps5 official ones

[twin badger]

Given the usual "fuck you, EU" markup, sounds about expectable

[storm marsh]

I’m also trying to do little tech jobs since my school allows me have a better instruction in electric circuits and system I’m trying to repair something for fun and hope it can turn into money

I have ton of passions but not the money nor the time for all of them

[civic arch]

720€ sounds about right tho

it was the asus one

[twin badger]

The Sapphire versions seem to be the cheapest

at least on UK stores

[civic arch]

idk did not find any stock for others yet

[twin badger]

Perhaps there's gonna be even cheaper models from powercolor

[civic arch]

or not for sale just price announced

[twin badger]

or XFX

[storm marsh]

I don’t really know the prices of what I am going to buy since I don’t even know if the latest tech costs one kidney or more, I have idea of how I want my pc to run and execute games but it’s a utopia

[twin badger]

Sounds fun

[storm marsh]

getting electrocuted doesn’t

[civic arch]

im not upgrading i got a perfectly good gpu already

[storm marsh]

I did already get

[twin badger]

All you gotta know is that to have fun you don't necessarily need an expensive PC

[twin badger]

Thats part of the process, isnt it?

Learning from mistakes

[storm marsh]

But I don’t want neither to run monster hunter wilds on 4 pixel

[storm marsh]

done that mistake several times

[civic arch]

you cant get electrocuted that easily

[storm marsh]

oh I don’t?

[civic arch]

all pc power is like max 12v

[twin badger]

That is a wildly unoptimized game

[civic arch]

unless you tinker with the insides of your psu

[twin badger]

Modern games for the most part just fucking suck

[storm marsh]

I’m talking about the little jobs I do

I got electrocuted like 10 times doing a damn circuit

[civic arch]

are you plugging those into main voltage ??

[civic arch]

pcb circuit ??

[storm marsh]

translate pls?

[civic arch]

i hope your not an electrician

[storm marsh]

my school teaches me exactly that.

how to work with circuits

I’m not very good at what I do but I’m learning

[twin badger]

Wouldn't your school teach you safety precautions?

[civic arch]

you got shocked 10 times by mains voltage ??

[storm marsh]

Oh no I would be dead

10 times by a generator

low voltage

[storm marsh]

It does but I’m a idiot

[civic arch]

low voltage is not that dangerous

[storm marsh]

I got the electricity crawling up my arm

if it was main voltage I’ll probably be buried and forgotten

[civic arch]

maybe be more careful

[storm marsh]

I forgot more times that I need a resistor to compensate the voltage I give to a circuit

[civic arch]

or if its low voltage stuff its pretty low risk

[storm marsh]

that ended up in 5 light bulb exploded and burned + me getting electrify

[storm marsh]

It’s low risk but it’s not a pleasure getting electrocuted

[civic arch]

what kind of work are you doing the

[storm marsh]

We build circuits and try to find a usage to them, using microprocessors, switch, resistor, transistor, and type shit

Im at the first year of this new stuff its interesting

[civic arch]

how can you even get shocked by those

[storm marsh]

Either left the circuit open

either a dumbass of my friend raised the voltage

[civic arch]

those require pretty low voltage

[storm marsh]

Tried to kill me

[civic arch]

how high do those psus go

i never seen any test bench go higher than 60

or maybe 90v dc

[storm marsh]

they connected to main voltage so the max here it’s 24

but when we connect the generator we can raise it and go further

and we often use generators cuz we work in pairs or groups

It’s not a pleasure anyways

And I’m a totally flop with handmade work

[crude portal]

What PC IS better self build or already built

[exotic patrol]

If you know nothing about PCs or what an OS is then pre-built but if you have a decent background on what things are then always self build (Custom build)

[crude portal]

Im completly new

[exotic patrol]

then unless you're willing to learn and have the time (its not that complicated) go with a pre-built

[crude portal]

Ok

What pre built would BE good

[fickle finch]

What do you plan to use it for and if its games what kind of games?

[crude portal]

GTA and some games

[crude portal]

So you know any pcs

[crude portal]

Could you say one

[snow rover]

it isn't that simple

what prebuilt to buy entirely revolves around what's available to you and at what price

[cobalt cobalt]

for some reason my prebuilt computer has started taking ages to load things, this isnt a disk issue i dont think and everything runs smoothly most of the time its just that sometimes for 30 seconds it takes ages to load something, could be anything like discord, google whatever

might be the issue

unsure how to fix lol

i have 15gb available

like overall

[cold elbow]

show us disk usage and cpu speed

[exotic patrol]

and crystaldiskinfo

[cobalt cobalt]

unsure what all this yap really means

[cold elbow]

idk things look normal to me

[cobalt cobalt]

mhm

its not even maxing out

my games have been getting micro stutters but ONLY overwatch and marvel rivals

maybe its my wifi actually

because itll just not load the content of a page

for 30 seconds

then its back again

[cold elbow]

do this and keep watching all the cores while you load something or play a game

sometimes its just one core carrying everything

this can probably be fixed if you update your chipset drivers

and make sure you are using the correct power plan

[cobalt cobalt]

@cold elbow found the issue

i loaded into a ow match and it was just like this

[cold elbow]

your cpu should hit higher speeds

[cobalt cobalt]

well

[cobalt cobalt]

idk man it just started happening

[cold elbow]

we have the same cpu

[cobalt cobalt]

how do i make it higher lol

[cobalt cobalt]

tbf might need to clean my pc out

since its been like a year

[cold elbow]

its a pre built?

[cobalt cobalt]

yeah

ive been afraid to like open it incase i just fuck it up

[cold elbow]

first thing to check is your temps

[cobalt cobalt]

how?

[cold elbow]

cpu would throttle its speed when it get hot

if you have an amd card then you can use the driver app to show you

otherwise download HWinfo

[cobalt cobalt]

okay

i have amd

[cold elbow]

yeah open that and go to performance tab

[cobalt cobalt]

@cold elbow cpu temp is 70

50-70

im assuming its just a fan issue

so im going to just dust it

[cobalt cobalt]

@echo mural okay during a game it hits like 80-probably 90

[cold elbow]

yeeeep that may be your issue

start with opening the side panel and give it a clean

[cobalt cobalt]

Using what?

I don't have any compressed air or anything so I'm a little scared doing anything

[cold elbow]

just open the side panel then

keep it open to test if that going to help

[cobalt cobalt]

It's 100% just a dust issue ngl

I might just buy a can during the weekend and then take my pc to the garage since that's always really cold to dust it

Or I could just get a cloth

[cold elbow]

a cloth wont clean a heatsink

i use an air blower

[twin badger]

You can also try doing some undervolting, worked pretty well when i had my 5600. I doubt it's purely just a dust problem.

[cold elbow]

opening side panel usually improve the airflow by a lot

cus most pre builds have awful design

[cobalt cobalt]

I haven't cleaned it in a year

Or well since I got it

[cold elbow]

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617QnLN+hHL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg

get one of these bad boys

cheap and cleans your pc in like 3 seconds

[twin badger]

That's me with my cheap ass case that i haven't bothered to replace in 5 years

I remember my temps dropping by like 10 degrees when removing the side panel

[sterile cliff]

Question

Why do we just keep the sidepanels on

Remove em and boom u get extra cooling

[cold elbow]

in good cases you get better cooling if you keep them on and less noise

[echo mural]

same bro my cpu runs hot

[rose yacht]

change your thermal paste

it shouldnt be throttling to nearly 90 like that

or upgrade the cooler

[lost fossil]

i have one of these turbskis

for some reason my room becomes misty after i apply it to my computer for 3 seconds

[cold elbow]

U should do it outside

Or what i do is running the blower and my vacuum cleaner

Together

[lost fossil]

what i do is running the thing when the computer is on

no time to disconnect shit

[woven apex]

Hi

[cold elbow]

Ye same

[void turret]

Ye, a ratio of sharing and dowloading stuff might decrease

[twin badger]

Speaking of 9070/9070 XT

The prices are abysmal in EU - 800+ for the 9070, 900-1000+ for the 9070 XT

The "fuck you, EU" markup is really wonderful

So much for AMD saving the GPU market

It's fucked and will continue to be fucked, until people start realizing that paying nearly double the supposed MSRP is a financially illiterate decision

[manic ibex]

I leave my laptop running but sometimes it's doing nothing but fans get loud

What is going on

[civic cloud]

Windows sheningans

[wary pawn]

Can be dust, ms antivirus or any other ms product gone mad, background apps stacked etc.

[cobalt cobalt]

Pc year old it shouldn't have fucked up thermal paste yet

I think it's dust but if that dosent work ill just replace thermal paste

[rose yacht]

are you using an aio or a custom loop (very unlikely but i have to ask) or an air cooler?

[cobalt cobalt]

I think a air cooler

Fucking fan

[hexed crystal]

yall i fucking hate cobol so much

[manic ibex]

Thermal paste can be tested before you open the cooler and replace it

[cold elbow]

When you laptop is idle it performs a lot of different tasks like defragging your disk, scan for viruses, update stuff and perform all kind of maintenance.

It's doing it like that to not annoy you while you're using it.

[exotic patrol]

On that note isn't defragging SSDs bad

[cold elbow]

It does trim instead for ssds

[manic ibex]

Oh that makes sense
Thank you

these are just wifi receivers

if your built in adapter is shit then one of these could improve things

[candid frost]

I wanted to know since my ps4 has bad internet due to being far from router

[lost fossil]

alternatively, you could use one of the ones on the bottom and throw a wired connection from your router to your pc or console or whwtever

[civic arch]

cacheless nvmes are so damn slow

game is patching its files and it estimates like 1 day

[lost fossil]

or if there are multiple wireless devices with poor reception, you could get the one at the bottom and connect one of the switches from the ones at the top on the other end and connect your ps4 and other devices to the switch

[candid frost]

I could get this but i think it need some sort of card to work

[candid frost]

I cant connect any wires from wifi router to ps4 due to them being in different rooms

[lost fossil]

thats what i said you can do that with powerline adapters like the ones at the bottom on your photo

people here rally for these adapters but personally they're a but sometimes they're the only optio

[candid frost]

I got timeout

[snow rover]

you do not need any kind of card for a wifi router

you connect it to your other router with a cable and then configure it to be in access point mode or something along those lines

[lost fossil]

but if the router is on the surface and you're in the bunker

and you can't add another cord

you're saying complicated things mr hackerman

[sterile cliff]

Background tasks

[sterile cliff]

Or as this guy puts it

Still windows has some shit tasks that apparently require gigachad energy

9070 xt aint that good value

european dont need scalpers

the stores do it for us

[twin badger]

They can keep their overpriced stock, most reasonable people won't be able to afford it anyways

[civic arch]

850-1000€ seems to be the range

can be decent if you have a shitty card already

but 7800xt or higher not worth

sell my old one for like 400-450€ then pay another 400€

to not even get 2x

#include<string.h>
int main()

{
    char word[20];
    scanf("%s", word);
    int len = strlen(word);
    printf("%d \n", len);
    int i = 0;
    for (i; i <=len; i++)
    {
        int num = len - i;
        printf("%c", word[num]);



    }

}```

So I have a question here

I think there's something wrong with this yet it still works as intended

it's supposed to print the word backwards

But the thing is, I should start printing from word[len - 1] and not word[len] because this way I'm printing one extra character which is occupied by something random and not the last character of te string I entered

so like, how tf is it working

Also is there any way I can optimise or otherwise make this less prone to failure without going too deep?

Or just any general pointers

if my understanding of arrays is right then the rest of the array from positions len + 1 to 20 should just be random shit and not empty

[rapid lake]

Ah

I think strlen starts at 0 and not 1

And the scanf adds an empty character at the end which is why it counts one extra yet doesn’t print anything extra

[civic cloud]

Yes

[rapid lake]

Right thanks Gauss

[civic cloud]

:)

Not like I remember much from coding Class

[rapid lake]

To be fair this one was obvious, I was just thinking too deep to notice it lmao

[rapid lake]

Coding is the only subject I enjoy at this point and I’m not even doing CS

It’s actually fun unlike algebra and analysis

@civic cloud as an engineer do you even use half the shit you got taught st uni

[civic cloud]

I work in project management, so I basically use 0

[rapid lake]

Lmfao

[civic cloud]

The only time I have to think about stuff is during the final design reviews and even then it's like "yes I've heard about these things, seems plausible"

The engineering

[civic cloud]

The engineering department of the company we are working with

I don't even talk with those guys, just the senior engineers

why is nvidias 50 gen so bad

like i would never consider one

amd should have gone and competed for high end

[snow rover]

9090xt when

god this naming scheme blows ass

[civic arch]

i dont want a chance of my gpu burning even if its loe

7800xt is no point for me to upgrade to a 9070 or xt

gpu market has just become worse and worse

[twin badger]

Vote with your wallets

[civic arch]

gamers are known for smart money usage

cs2 cases for example are prime opportunity to make money

( for steam )

[cold elbow]

why? when its too difficult to compete and its less than 30% of the market

[civic arch]

maybe next gen

[twin badger]

Unnecessary, in my opinion

AMD has historically had the most success with mid tier GPU's like the RX 400 and RX 500 series

[frigid echo]

I miss the days of of my Ati HD4870 turbo. You could buy a top end card for about 250$ and it be capable for many years on games.

[cold elbow]

i mean

i assume 250$ back then was a lot?

[snow rover]

that's $366 today

[cold elbow]

hmm

also whoever bought the 6000 series from amd in 2020 are still having a very good value to this day

[frigid echo]

I still have this card in my closet haha.

[snow rover]

i do not

[cold elbow]

2008 card damn

[frigid echo]

yaaaa

I didn't have to replace it till the AMD R --- 270?

ya the AMD R9 270X

and that was only because I was running out of Vram LOL

[cold elbow]

im guessing the 270x was a good card

[twin badger]

I still have my old 270X

She served me well in games from that era

[frigid echo]

it was nicely priced too!

[twin badger]

Bioshock Infinite, Far Cry 3...

[twin badger]

Well, i got mine for free

[frigid echo]

it was also around 250 to buy

[twin badger]

Was given by my mom's brother

He had a 2060 at the time

[frigid echo]

it was just behind a GTX 760 when it was new.

[twin badger]

Somewhere around there, yeah

Between 750 Ti and 760

This is the one i had https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-r9-270x-directcu-ii.b2491

[frigid echo]

then I replaced the 270X with the gtx 1060 - and now I am on the 3060

[jovial tide]

@exotic patrol my PC is doing the flickering thing again...

[twin badger]

Damn, i had a similar hardware change

R9 270X > RX 480 > RTX 3070 Ti

[frigid echo]

now - I am unsure where to go... get gouged by Nvidia, go back to AMD and their 9000 series, or wait for Intel to keep catching up rapidly as they have been doing.

[twin badger]

Rapidly is a bit of an overstatement

Yes, i did like the initial info about the B580, compelling product

But

They really ruined it with the overhead issues

[frigid echo]

if you look at their update history for their drivers from over how long they been in the GPU game

[twin badger]

Which affects the vast majority of their customerbase - budget gamers

Adding to that, i just don't know if i'd personally want to be a "beta tester" of a card i'd have to pay close to 350-400 in EU

EU is really getting fucked over with these prices

Despite a lot of us earning wayyyy less than people in US

I am gonna stay with my current card, until something affordable shows up in the market

which might be... god knows when

[twin badger]

1000 eur for 9070 xt and 1400 for 5070 Ti

roughly

[cold elbow]

pocket change

[twin badger]

That's probably what these retailers expect us to think

[civic arch]

when games gonna force us to have the newest gpus

oh no you got a 4090 but the game needs a 5090

[junior flax]

Good while

tho that’s not rlly how gpus work

it doesnt require a specific gpu

rather an amount of performance

it’s more likely to be like minimum spec 5090

[civic cloud]

They are always oriented at console power

So as long as consoles aren't better than your pc, you're good (CPU cores, VRAM, etc pp)

[twin badger]

At this rate i am deadass just gonna play decade old games for forever

And honestly... i am not complaining

[civic arch]

new games feel kinda bad to play

[twin badger]

If game developers don't care enough to make the game playable for the majority of PC gamers, why should i care enough to buy their game?

[civic arch]

hell let loose for example

good gameplay but holy hell is it blurry

[twin badger]

I've heard it's a fun game

Some sort of WW2 shooter

[civic arch]

yeah

[twin badger]

Ah yes, the TAA hellscape

[civic arch]

its pretty chaotic

[twin badger]

Too many games force that shit by default

[civic arch]

any motion and it just looks bad

[twin badger]

Even the new GTA

[civic arch]

you can see ghosting when driving a car

like really easily

forza has a similar issue

[twin badger]

RDR2 is another good example of this, game looks like dookie if you go the MSAA/FXAA route, but has ghosting if you enable TAA

and looks blurry

[civic arch]

TAA imo looks great when your not moving the camera

[twin badger]

I hate it

That's why DLSS seems like it makes the game look better

Because it sharpens it

[civic arch]

people say dlaa fixes things but idk bout that

[twin badger]

It kinda does

At least it did for me in GTA

Looks way better

than with TAA

[civic arch]

i cant even play gta rn

online aint working or missions

[twin badger]

Ain't missing out on much

[civic arch]

idk if its related to amd gpu

[twin badger]

Like, is it just not loading into a session?

[civic arch]

my friend with nvidia reported similar issues

when i click online it just loads into a black screen

like the loading images are black and its stuck there

[twin badger]

Weird...

[civic arch]

cant quit the game either

[twin badger]

Seems to load in just fine for me

[civic arch]

forcing the game to close causes windows to have a stroke

[twin badger]

Though i know theres some driver fuckery going on with Nvidia's most recent drivers, so maybe thats why your friend experiences issues, i dunno

[civic arch]

nvidias drivers apparently were a bit trash on the 50 series

[twin badger]

Something like that

[civic arch]

wonder how amd got theirs done

[twin badger]

Not only did they rush the actual product, but even the drivers

Nvidia really has dropped the ball this generation

[civic arch]

i doubt amd rushed it

they would have probably waited even longer if not for people crying

[twin badger]

AMD claimed they did more testing on their drivers

promising they will be more stable

[civic arch]

hope that fsr4 comes to older cards too

doubt i would use it tho

im too sensitive for upscalers

[twin badger]

It should come to older cards at some point honestly, it uses some sort of AI cores that the 7000 series also has

[civic arch]

maybe i look in the wrong area of the screen

[twin badger]

What resolution do you play at?

[civic arch]

1440p

27"

[twin badger]

Shouldn't it be less noticeable then?

[civic arch]

i keep it away too so its not too close

[twin badger]

I can understand if you would be on 1080p like i am

[civic arch]

only for cs or pubg i keep it closer

[civic arch]

its just a loss of detail and distant objects lose alot more detail

[twin badger]

Well, it still comes in clutch for those, who need those extra frames on weaker hardware

FSR was my bro when i was on my old RX 480 playing Cyberpunk

[civic arch]

cs2 is just weird on how good it looks

while running great

[twin badger]

Different games, different implementations

Some games do it well, some not so well

[civic arch]

i need to play some older games to see if they actuslly looked better

gta san andreas probably still gonna look fine

not the remaster

[twin badger]

GTA San Andreas felt ground breaking to the 8 year old me

It felt SOOOO much bigger

And honestly, for those times it was a big game

[civic arch]

it looks way worse than i remember on the ps2 when i last tried

no crt tv tho

[twin badger]

Ah, the orange tint on PS2

Shit looked like breaking bad in mexico

[civic arch]

my ps2 only worked if you bonk it

idk why

disc no spin > bonk > disc go brrrr

[twin badger]

Did yours come with the memory card too?

[civic arch]

idk but i had 2

slim model ps2

wonder if any of my ps2 controllers has stick drift yet

how do these ps5/xbox controller keep getting stick drift so fast

[twin badger]

cheap build quality, id assume

Idk, ive never really used a controller that has stick drift

or controllers in general

pretty much always played on keyboard and mouse

why is 9070 xt like nowhere in stock

9070 is like alot of stock

[arctic yarrow]

Basically I set up a batch file to make windows not reboot for updates for the full day instead of their maximum 18 hour period. Here's what I put in it:

for /f %%i in ('powershell "((get-date).Hour+12) %% 24"') do set endHour=%%i
 
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings /v ActiveHoursStart /t REG_DWORD /d %startHour% /f 
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings /v ActiveHoursEnd /t REG_DWORD /d %endHour% /f

Its not mine btw

I just stole it off the net

Also, I just got too lazy to swap it to linux. I might do it in the future.

Basically you just copy that entire thing, put it in a bat file and run it and it should disable all automatic reboots for updates.

I found out mine rebooted today while i wasn't looking and was thinking it was downloading files. Disabled reboot via gpedit.

[void turret]

Idk do I have any usage for it. I have 1tb hard drive

[lost fossil]

if you see one of those 128 tb (that's a T) for dirt cheap, you can grab one and create a 16gb partition to use it as a 16gb drive because that's what it most likely is

[void brook]

agreed, the iso also bugs on usbs that have more than 64 gigs for some reason.

[void turret]

What kind of price is dirt cheap as example?

if you see 128tb for 50€

that's probably 16gb

[junior flax]

This meme is a parody of a scene from Terminator 2: Judgment Day, where the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and John Connor are making a phone call to check if his parents are safe. In the original scene, the T-800 deduces that John’s foster parents are dead because the person on the phone (who appears to be his mother) is actually the T-1000 impersonating her.

The meme humorously replaces the serious dialogue with a joke about PC gaming and graphics cards. The “5090” is a reference to NVIDIA’s hypothetical future GPU (likely the RTX 5090). The joke plays on the fact that new high-end graphics cards are extremely difficult to find in stock, especially at retail stores like Micro Center.

The punchline comes when the T-800 hears that John’s “mom” easily found a 5090 at Micro Center, which is so unrealistic that he immediately assumes John’s parents are dead—implying that the person on the phone must be an imposter, just like in the original movie.

on modern mobos it's above the gpu actually

but even if not, it will still fit, yes

Ok cool, yeah I probably thought it goes below

it deep ends

yes, since this sits directly on your motherboard instead of using a cable

@bronze mountain Yeah, but I think GPU's have always been higher cost in Europe

Thanks to our huge VAT %

[bronze mountain]

if only the problem was Europe

[toxic sentinel]

RTX 5070 and RX 9070 are 1000€ here

[bronze mountain]

hell a 3090 is 1m+

i could only get my rtx 3070 for 150k because i gave the dude my old 1060 and my old 500w psu

and it was still used

[toxic sentinel]

Who buys 3090 when 4090 exist

[bronze mountain]

is there even a difference bruv

[toxic sentinel]

Yes RTX 3000 to 4000 series was quite big leap imo

[bronze mountain]

well in price it sure is

also take dmc5 for example

it ran on my old 1060 with 100 fps

and looked good as hell

[toxic sentinel]

RTX 3060 was 1000€ in Europe a few years back

[snow rover]

3090 is like a third of the price of a 4090 right now

[toxic sentinel]

Then it is understandable

[twin badger]

Honestly they are kind of a decent deal rn, considering that a 4070 Super is 800+

[snow rover]

6900xt for under 500€

seems like pretty good value

would the gpu not start to struggle if it was sucking too much power?

[snow rover]

overcurrent protection would kick in and the pc would shut off

[unreal iron]

it's listed as one of the issues with not enough power though

moniter intermittently losing signal

[snow rover]

i mean it's not impossible but i don't think it's related

if you have pcie power connectors for a graphics card you probably have enough wattage

[unreal iron]

how would I diagnose that then

I don't remember the conditions that sometimes cause it only that i change stuff so it doesn't do that

oh wait i remember one

I set render in minecraft really high

in theory it was within the bounds of my 3060

quality wise

[lost fossil]

reduce the refresh rate or change it from whatever your color profile is to rgb and reduce color depth to 8 bit

this is amd but novideo should have similar settings

i had to do this and change the refresh from 144 to 120 to stop what you described happening on my tv

[unreal iron]

the refresh rate is messing with it?

[civic cloud]

Turn off variable refresh rate

That's what gave me weird stuff in RDR2, might give it a try here if Oleg's stuff doesn't work

[brave field]

Happens semi-rarely with freesync. Dis- and reconnect your monitor's power adapter when it does it. Disabling vrr/adaptive-/free-/g- defeats the point of a high refresh display

[unreal iron]

OK so freesync is turned off on my monitor

i lowered the refresh to 120

(I also have a 119.880 option?)

Couldn't vind Variable Refresh, and color display is already set to rgb 8-bit

[lost fossil]

no, what does is your display cable not being able to send all of the data

thats why you lower the refresh rate and color accuracy

[unreal iron]

Are you saying I have shitty cable

It's probably true

[lost fossil]

possibly

[unreal iron]

You mean to tell me a cable that I spent a whole three dollars for wasn't built to the highest quality standards of the 21st century???

The box told me it was GOLD PLATED! That used to MEAN SOMETHING in this here god fearing country!

I'm not sure what it meant but it meant SOMETHING!

The package had TWO twist ties! Cheap garbage only ever has one!

[civic cloud]

Two twist ties is crazy

[civic cloud]

Yeah but it was ONLY happening in RDR2 and I honestly couldn't be bothered to fix it more than just turning it off

[cold elbow]

[vital turtle]

Can someone suggest me a good headphones which can be used with mobile and laptops alike for gaming?

There are two headphones in my eyes, Hyperx Cloud Stinger 2 Core Essential
And
Razer Blackshark V2x

But Razer's services suck in India so I'm thinking for the hyperx ones

But on amazon there are two listings of the hyperx ones

One is

Hyperx Cloud Stinger 2 Core Essential (₹3699)
And
Hyperx cloud stinger 2 core gaming (₹3490)

[snow rover]

sennheiser hd800s

[civic cloud]

Missed the topic, F

[civic cloud]

If your only options are these two, get the HyperX

[vital turtle]

I'm open to suggestions other than these

[vital turtle]

It's being sold even more expensive than my laptop here tf

[jovial tide]

I also agree with Gauss. I had a HyperX Cloud 2 and it was super solid for audio and comfort

[civic cloud]

Yeah the HyperX Cloud whatever are good all-rounders for an ok price, not the greatest but decent

[vital turtle]

It was a huperx cloud 2, the one in my budget is the stinger 2 core essential

[civic cloud]

You can also grab Headphones of your preference and buy a clip on mid like modmic

[vital turtle]

It's basically at half the price of normal cloud 2

Any idea about IEMs at this price?

[civic cloud]

Yeah can't say anything about the Stinger, try to get the Cloud version

[snow rover]

same actually

not that my laptop is a particularly high end one
