[civic cloud]

Yeah same oleg

Literally unable to

[thin turtle]

I will use Linux

[junior flax]

Wasn’t related just wanted to add it in

[thin turtle]

A fun little story

[junior flax]

U get it

[wicked galleon]

is coding hard

[snow rover]

if the goal is to write a program that does a simple task for your usecase and works on some level, no

if the goal is to make actually good software that will also work for other users and work efficiently, yes

[thin turtle]

No

[wicked galleon]

ty

im tryna get in cybersecurity

but damn that shits hard

[thin turtle]

You can always be harder

Just don't let it break you

[wicked galleon]

ty

[junior flax]

to get into yes

I only started in september when i started my uni course with no prior coding knowledge though i feel once you start to get the hang of it its just like learning another language, for me it started to just click in my brain

Tho i feel its definitely easier to get into nowadays with the use of AI which i use to help and explain some stuff

Its a learning curve

[fickle finch]

I disagree with this because in the end you'll rely on AI to do the work and not use your ability to problem solve

Programming is all about problem solving which is a skill that needs to grow like a muscle

I feel everyone that's saying AI is mean't to be seen as an augment to help with work, but in reality you're feeding it knowledge then training your skills

If you're an experienced programmer and you're given a task you think about an efficient way to write the code, write it in a way that can't be exploited, and easy to understand when other programmers begin working with your code

AI is useful when it comes to knowledge, but it shouldn't be used in a way that can negatively impact your abilities

[thin turtle]

Word.

[fickle finch]

Just my 2 cents

[thin turtle]

eminem

[brave field]

The fun part about letting AI work on your code is that it has no idea what its doing

You can barely ask ChatGPT or Gemini 5 questions without it telling a blatant lie. Copilot is probably much better though, since its trained off code that should run

[lost fossil]

copilot more like cope a lot

[thin turtle]

perplexity helps good in matlab

[rapid lake]

DeepSeek >

Actually I've only used it a couple times for when I hit the limit on images in GPT

HAte when that happens

worst thing is that it stops the whole chat so you have to start over

[cold elbow]

Look what i got

Keyboard nerds will say that these are a lot of keys

[thin turtle]

joystick

[civic cloud]

Same size as you

[cold elbow]

Shut up

[snow rover]

these are a lot of keys

[fickle finch]

Lol

[lost fossil]

jokes aside, what is that kb good for even

it's the most unintuitive numpad known to mankind and it doesn't even have the meth operators to be used for the calculator

[snow rover]

i am the meth operator

[snow gazelle]

prolly use it as a stream deck

[sterile cliff]

Not small enough 0/10

[rapid lake]

I'd use it as stress buttons if the switches feel nice

and the joystick is smooth

it even has a scroll wheel how nic

[jovial tide]

Macros prob

[quartz kayak]

Sideways numpad

It looks cute i like the

[tidal plume]

What’s better 9600X or 7700?

[thin turtle]

See benchmarks

[tidal plume]

Explode

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

intel i7-7700 has nothing to offer against an amd 9600x

[thin turtle]

[cold elbow]

AMD R7700

I liked this one tho

[cobalt cobalt]

I was messing around with my mic settings because something was automatically adjusting my mic volume (found out it was sea of thieves) anyway as I restarted my computer it blue screened and then restarted is this a Bog issue that like I should sort out or nah lol

[brave field]

check event viewer in case something specific may have done it. BSODs show as Critical-level events in there, so look just before it. Do you recall the error message?

you're probably fine, if it isn't recurring and only happens during restart

[cobalt cobalt]

Once during restart did it afterwards no blue screen

[lost fossil]

that's the one that i had

one of the fans started farting though so i had to fix it with what i had (a couple of thin 80mm fans)

[cobalt cobalt]

Hopefully none of my changes affects anything in the future!!

[silk plaza]

thats a whole lot of surface area and not a lot of airflow 😫

[lost fossil]

stop right there

you're trolling too much

[silk plaza]

nuh uh

[wary pawn]

I thought it was a laptop at first glance.

[jovial lichen]

Building PC ;_;

My set right now

Cost total 938$

X_X

[civic cloud]

Nice profile pic

You can save money on your CPU cooler

[jovial lichen]

I got nitro for free but already cancel to expire soon

Anyway yea this will be my first step

Then I will replace my main to z790 pro msi wifi
And rtx 4070ti + 1000w plus gold

Plan to 5070ti but...i really not sure of it

If anything not smooth

I will take red team a.k.a Rx 9070 Xt

[rapid lake]

I have a network question

[snow rover]

great

[rapid lake]

thanks

it's great indeed

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

Ok jokes aside, if I use one of those wifi extenders which have a LAN port, and then wire that to my device am I gonna get similar results from plugging it directly into my router

I feel the answer is no but I wanto make sure

[civic cloud]

What does that have to do with your CPU cooler

[thin turtle]

That's a good question

I also am interested in the answer

[rapid lake]

Because I'm not running a cable from the living room to my room

[thin turtle]

[jovial lichen]

Oh im very sorreey, my brain error sometimes

[snow rover]

the answer is it depends but probably not

[civic cloud]

I've used that setup a few years, it really depends on your adapter and distance to router, but in general it's an ok experience 👍 you will have a little more latency and the latency/bandwidth will fluctuate more

[thin turtle]

Do you have telephone lines in your house

[jovial lichen]

Lumborgor 😄

[thin turtle]

You can let your cat 6 through them

[rapid lake]

It's not much, probably like 10 meters lol

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

And I'm using wifi

[jovial lichen]

[rapid lake]

It's just that, on console with LAN I get about 10 mb/s, but on my laptop with wifi I'm getting 1

[jovial lichen]

I really dont know how to use water cooler so I use that instead

[civic cloud]

The adapters are kinda expensive and the solution isn't really better

[snow rover]

the solution is to just run cables across your place

[civic cloud]

Silence american

[snow rover]

since when have i been american

[rapid lake]

We do but routing cat6 through that would be really difficult, the telephone lines are like 1/20th the diameter

[thin turtle]

Just push the wire through the wall

[civic cloud]

idk it's a very American statement

[jovial lichen]

Or just punch it

[rapid lake]

I have one already is the thing

[civic cloud]

okay I thought you wanted to use these coax adapters that let you use them for ethernet

[thin turtle]

Remove that telephone nonsense

[thin turtle]

Nah

30m cables are fairly cheap and can get anywhere

[civic cloud]

What do you have? I don't want to get topics mixed up

[rapid lake]

adapter

[civic cloud]

Adapt to what

[rapid lake]

wait no

[civic cloud]

[thin turtle]

Get a technician to do it

[rapid lake]

I have the wifi extender already lmao what am I saying

[thin turtle]

Cat6 and phone lines have the same width

[civic cloud]

okay and what's stopping you from using it to try it out? Just plug it into the wall and your pc, sign up and you're good to go

[rapid lake]

not our phone lines

[thin turtle]

Ya

[rapid lake]

lemme show you

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

I forgor how to set it up

[thin turtle]

Plug and play

Usually

[civic cloud]

Do you know how to Google "part number manual"

[rapid lake]

what no

[civic cloud]

[rapid lake]

I'll give it a shot

[thin turtle]

Extenders ain't that complicated

It usually adapts whatever the original name is

Maybe there's a companion app like tp-link

[civic cloud]

Have you shot it yet

[rapid lake]

as it turns out the extender does NOT have a port

but

with extender

without

repeating the test shows download speed still lacking on the original wifi

but upload is the same weirdly enough

[thin turtle]

Huh

[rapid lake]

Not the outcome I was hoping for (mainly because I thought it had a LAN port) but a good outcome nontheless

[thin turtle]

Why like dis

[rapid lake]

second run

with

without

[thin turtle]

So you using WiFi?

[rapid lake]

I'll be using the extender's wifi yeah

[thin turtle]

Oh that makes sense

And the extender uses cable?

[rapid lake]

idk I'll see if I can find a cheap extender with LAN port

[rapid lake]

no

[thin turtle]

I didn't understand the situation

[rapid lake]

the extender is like the wifi middleman

[thin turtle]

Oh yeah

So you are in the room testing

[rapid lake]

Yes

[thin turtle]

You're doing the right thing

I support you

[rapid lake]

this laptop's from 2015 so you can expect bad wifi

actually on inspection, shit doesn't even have an ethernet port

[thin turtle]

Yeah

Shit happens

[rapid lake]

I could use an adapter like this one

[civic cloud]

TP link has them for like 10-20 bucks

[rapid lake]

but I imagine that only would slow things down

so I need a new laptop and one of these

[rapid lake]

ya this one's 27

[civic cloud]

Wow fancy

[rapid lake]

disregard, it does have one but there's a tab I had to press for the cable to go in

massive difference

using ethernet straight from router

I mean I knew ethernet is more stable and all but gaddayum

[thin turtle]

It's way faster

In your case there's 50% gain

[rapid lake]

bit more but yeah around there

I don't need fast internet tbh it's not like I'm gaming these days

but for downloading things like movies and whatnot on the fly it's nice

[snow rover]

what the fuck is that buffer bloat on a local network

[rapid lake]

what the fuck does that mean

[thin turtle]

[snow rover]

basically router too slow to handle enough packets

this is not good

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

and this?

[snow rover]

that's still bad but much less so

40ms latency is more acceptable than 600

[agile siren]

This latency issue is so called the "Buffer bloat" issue. Usually happens when there is congestion/no more bandwidth to spare for other traffic.

[rapid lake]

who are you talking to

[snow rover]

you

[rapid lake]

what would be the ideal number here

[agile siren]

how is an internet speed test be a local network buffer bloat issue?

[snow rover]

ideally your ping would not increase under load

[rapid lake]

ok so the difference betwen the idle latency and latency while downloading should be small then?

[snow rover]

yes

[rapid lake]

interesting

how is yours

[rapid lake]

also what if it's the server I'm connecting to

we don't have really good servers here I don't think

[rapid lake]

so this is where all the internet is going

btw

this happens sometimes

[fickle finch]

cute ethernet port

[thin turtle]

@snow rover so this means I need a better router?

[snow rover]

not necessarily

the latency might not be on your end or it might be a software issue

try different devices and browsers and speedtests and whatnot

[rapid lake]

the hardest part of fixing an issue is finding out what's causing it

[jovial tide]

@lost fossil idk if you still play BP Remastered, but have you had an issue where the game crashes from just pausing? I can't even change my graphic settings lmao

[thin turtle]

I'll ask the service provider to fix it

they gave me the router

[snow rover]

isp provided routers are usually not very good

[thin turtle]

Pee

There's this goofy cpu cooler with rgb that doesn't change

Cable management is bit 🤏

[jovial lichen]

Soon

Just 1 more month

And I will have mah gamin pc

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

i felt insulted when you assumed that i don't play BPR Remastered anymore

you need to install bpr modder (in the googles) and the bugfix thing there as well as this
https://github.com/matty-ross/bpr-utility-mods/blob/main/binaries/webcam.dll

would've dm'd but

[thin turtle]

RTX™️

[thin turtle]

.

[jovial tide]

I figured you still did, but didn't know. Awesome, thank you

[thin turtle]

This is bullshit

I explained my issue clearly and this customer service agent is trying to gaslight me into believing that everything is fine

I literally sent him this and he's playing dumb

this is a fiber package btw

literally from the ground to the router to the pc, no interruptions no extenders

through a cat6 cable

[snow rover]

can i close the ticket now

[thin turtle]

this is the whole setup

lmao

[snow rover]

because that isn't good?

[thin turtle]

a ps5 can do 60 fps at 1440p innit

now imagine paying that price for a single pc component and getting 90fps

not so good

it will be less than a ps5 but hey

[mystic solar]

I wonder if Discord would compress this photo..

[civic cloud]

probably

pretty sure they compress everything and only show original size in the browser

[mystic solar]

No 16K photos for you then

[civic cloud]

[nova steppe]

this counts for both my PC issues as well as me setting up my car in a sim. I keep chasing red herrings, but when I finally find the issue, boy does the disappointment of the simplicity of the solution sting

[snow rover]

actually about to fucking break my desk in half

i just somehow closed fusion completely accidentally or it crashed without notification and i lost multiple hours of work

no recovery files no nothing

don't be like me, save every 5 minutes

[thin turtle]

How do you have fusion

Isn't it cancelled

Or you do the

[quartz kayak]

This is a 500mb plan btw from like 2015

[quartz kayak]

This

I put another router on my bedroom and i think thats sucking up everything

Data

[quartz kayak]

Should i update my internet

Bcs i have a 500mb plan with tv but our main router is weak

We pay like 45€ a month

And a phone

[snow rover]

yes

combed entire drive for any hope of recovery files but nope

that's like 3 hours down the drain because i'm stupid

amazing

[thin turtle]

[civic arch]

do people use their wrist or whole arm to aim ?

i heard people play just with wrist by using high sens

2400 dpi at 15% sens in ow is insane

its like 4cm for a 360°

[silk plaza]

Depends on their sensitivity, personally I try to aim for as much "1:1" movement as I can

Sometimes even lower

So yeah usually my entire arm is involved, I have a desk sized mouse pad

[civic arch]

1:1 in what way

[civic arch]

i play with 60cm 360°

its really easy to get like good muscle memory

[silk plaza]

Just means that the cursor (or center of screen) moves precisely the same distance and direction as physical mouse movement

[thin turtle]

wrist for smol precise shots, arm for wider ROM

[silk plaza]

For ex. with rainbow six siege, I'd generally have my dpi at 400 and sens at 10-10 / 11/11

[thin turtle]

I will snipe with arm and will use AR by wrist

[cold elbow]

I noticed most good players use low dpi and a big mousepad for games that requires fast and accurate aiming like fps

[thin turtle]

I don't want to be a good player

[cold elbow]

True, u don't need that in princesses dressing games

[civic cloud]

That's super competitive dude

[lost fossil]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078SYW29Q good mousepad

[cold elbow]

Im not sure what to feel about this

[lost fossil]

why

[cold elbow]

Are you roasting me

Trolling me

Or being deadass

[lost fossil]

no i am absolutely deadass 100% fr

[cold elbow]

Stop right there

[lost fossil]

i actually had one, but black, it was but i don't use these tryhard sleeves so my hand would start sticking to it after some time so i had to stop using it, but in terms of peak gaming it was peak

[civic cloud]

It's cold and uncomfy

[silk plaza]

They do work surprisingly well for tracking, just not very practical

[cold elbow]

I just didn't think that people use actual cutting boards
I thought that glass mousepads just exist

[lost fossil]

they do exist, it's just that this one works surprisingly well as a mousepad

for not as expensive compared to the actual glass pads

at least when it was available

[upbeat spade]

they're not tryhard sleeves, my hoodie sleeves are just long

[civic cloud]

Femboy hoodie

[civic arch]

i noticed aim way more precise to shoot fast

hit some banger shots and people are like wtf

im somehow always the last alive in cs matches even tho im running first

brain understands better where it needs to move the mouse

why do i feel like ow2 is better warm up for cs than any static bot shooting

[civic cloud]

Ain't nobody got time for warm up wtf

I play two games once a week

[sterile cliff]

Yea 400 dpi or even 800 dpi

Then they fix the sens on the game settings

[twin badger]

Because you are practicing with actual players and you often have to flick...?

With bots you are not obligated to do that

Oh and also the mental factor of having the chance of being shot if you miss, which adds pressure to aim better

as opposed to bots that will do nothing to you

[civic arch]

if i play damage im mainly ashe cuz windowmaker is actually griefing

it requires good accuracy and headshots

kiriko if support also needs good aim

maybe its just getting comfy with the mouse ??

[twin badger]

Of course

with bots you are mainly doing the same movements over and over again

with actual enemies, sometimes you need microadjustment shots, sometimes you need to hard flick

more variation

=

more consistent aim

[fickle finch]

Do you guys know about TrueNAS

[cold elbow]

Yeah

[civic cloud]

Yeah

[fickle finch]

they just told me about it today

it can do so many things

[cold elbow]

Well

It's a NAS OS

pretty much it

[fickle finch]

it creates an URL that you can use to access it anywhere no

It can host applications, storage space, etc

[cold elbow]

You'll need a domain for that

[fickle finch]

oh?

[cold elbow]

Or static ip i guess

[fickle finch]

when they showed it, it was just an ip address but maybe thats if its connected to the network

[cold elbow]

That's local network

[fickle finch]

oh locally

what does what do

[thin turtle]

[void turret]

You dont know what a screw cutter does? Hmm

[thin turtle]

What the hell a screw cutter

[snow rover]

a thing that cuts screws if you did not gather that much

[thin turtle]

Why do you want to cut a screw

[snow rover]

because i don't want to buy and have to wait for the correct length

[thin turtle]

[civic cloud]

too long and cba to buy new

you can also just use an angle grinder

or a metal saw

[snow rover]

let me just get the angle grinder to cut 1.5mm off this m2 screw

done it with a dremel before but the cutter is nicer because it doesn't leave metal dust everywhere

[lost fossil]

cannot unsee

[lost fossil]

or a ddns service, which there are plenty of, free included

[snow rover]

duckdns gang

[cold elbow]

Are you gonna trust these?

Thats it.

The cloth ones were comfy er but after like 5 years they always have to go. This one still looks brand new and i got it 2nd hand

I also got a good deal for it

[nova steppe]

What about in terms of mid gaming? Was it still peak? Does the mousepad make the gaming peak? Does this hurt the horse? 🐎

I tried a glass/ceramic mousepad once and it was too smooth. The lack of resistance was offputting

[lost fossil]

for mid gaming it's actually not the best because of it being too smooth as you said...

[nova steppe]

[thin turtle]

I love this split screen feature

@placid notch mentioned

[cold elbow]

Hmmmmw2

[thin turtle]

Are there any reliable bufferbloat testing websites
This waveform.com tool been "warming up" for a hot minute now

[cold elbow]

I guess that it's not warm enough

[thin turtle]

2 goddamn seconds

[cold elbow]

Are you using wifi?

[thin turtle]

no, cable

[cold elbow]

Holly molly

[thin turtle]

router so ass

[cold elbow]

Bonkers

[thin turtle]

fiber package btw

[cold elbow]

Do u have like

Small fiber converter then a router?

[thin turtle]

I guess so

it goes into small chamber first

[cold elbow]

So if you plug the cable that is coming directly from that smol fiber box

Are you going to get internet... if yes then u can do the text again and see if it's bad provider or router

Also There's a big chance that you have a double NAT situation

[thin turtle]

the box has only Fiber Optic receptors

[cold elbow]

And what comes out of it

A lan cable

[thin turtle]

no

[cold elbow]

[thin turtle]

smol fiber cable

[cold elbow]

Then that fiber cable goes into your router?

[thin turtle]

yes

[cold elbow]

Rip

[silk plaza]

Whats this? 🤔

[thin turtle]

internet speed test

with buffer test

or latency

[silk plaza]

Yeah but what site is that

[thin turtle]

so uhh new router?

[cold elbow]

U can do a makeshift test

[placid notch]

[cold elbow]

Download a game and run a ping test

[thin turtle]

what games have that

[cold elbow]

U open CMD

Command prompt

Write

ping 8.8.8.8 -t

[thin turtle]

while running online game?

this is so ass

[cold elbow]

No

While downloading a game

[thin turtle]

ah

and now what do I do

one of the moments of all time

[cold elbow]

Your ping not going up

So

You have good enough internet

But not good upload speed

[thin turtle]

yes

[cold elbow]

U might face issues while gaming and someone upload a big file

[thin turtle]

this was the highlight innit

[thin turtle]

also streaming and video calls

I've seen it all

[cold elbow]

Hmmm

Well

Your ping will go up if you saturate all your upload bandwidth

[thin turtle]

contacted the isp and they brushed it off by saying the speeds are fine

[cold elbow]

You can maybe limit it

And i don't think your router is the issue here

[thin turtle]

so the speed test is doing this?

[cold elbow]

Most isps do this scummy acts of giving bad upload because most people aren't aware about it

[thin turtle]

yep

[cold elbow]

Maybe ask for more upload speed

[thin turtle]

I will file a formal complaint

[thin turtle]

they will tax me to hell lol

[cold elbow]

Heck yeah

Write there that melon said your upload sucks

[thin turtle]

limited speed to 40Mbps

[cold elbow]

Huge improvement

[thin turtle]

Fr

I'm not sure if this software is free forever tho

[cold elbow]

Which software

Why u need software

[thin turtle]

Where to limit then

[cold elbow]

Router settings

Limiting your pc wont fix shit because anyone else in the network can upload

[thin turtle]

I hate that place

I can't even log in

[cold elbow]

I remember some isp giving me a shitty router that was locked down

There's not much to do even if you login

After a lot of digging i was able to find the admin or super user login credentials for that type of router

And changed lot of things... even stuff im not supposed to mess with

[thin turtle]

Did you give yourself faster Internet

Imagine

My package in only 200Mbps btw

They are bumping 400Mbps because I filed a complaint last year about them renewing the contract even though I told them to cancel it

Now everytime I contact their customer service they point that out as if they are blessing me and I shouldn't be complaining

[cobalt cobalt]

hey gangs i was midway through a crime scene cleaner game and my pc just completely froze cut me off discord and made a low buzzing sound through my headphones

i had to force shutdown which fixed the issue but anybody know the problem?

im hoping its just a windows glitchj

[thin turtle]

[cobalt cobalt]

wym by that 😭

[cobalt cobalt]

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!!!

!!!!

1!!1

1!!!!

1!!!

[thin turtle]

Hol on

That's likely a graphics card issue

Now why that happened I don't know

Maybe GPU is cooked, drivers aren't updated, or it's just overload situation

[cobalt cobalt]

Might be

honestly i think its fine now im running a game fine

[thin turtle]

If you can recreate the issue with monitoring temps and voltage and such metrics

[cobalt cobalt]

it happened when i started streaming a game and tabbed back in

[thin turtle]

Mhm

[cobalt cobalt]

hopefully i CANT recreate the issue 😭

im gonna do something in a game rq if it freezes ilyk

[thin turtle]

Was the game situation involving a lot of props?

You probably crashed your pc through multitasking

[cobalt cobalt]

Yes lmao

[thin turtle]

Unless you have a very good setup, then you don't have to worry more about it.
But it's a good practice to try and see how that happened and why

[cobalt cobalt]

Csc isn't great optimised

[thin turtle]

You did a bad thing

Don't do that again

[cobalt cobalt]

LOL

Alr

I'm going on sea od thieves

Going to make a outfit and leave

[thin turtle]

I have this silent crash aswell where everything just shutdown and I'm back to desktop

But freezing, rarely happens

I believe my issue is not sufficient RAM

[cobalt cobalt]

Nah it wasn't that it was GONE Couldn't press anything gave it like 30 seconds

[thin turtle]

I only have like 16

[cobalt cobalt]

Same 😭

[thin turtle]

yeah i just went through the exact mission that it froze on and nothing happened

IM SAFE!

pc lives another day!!

[thin turtle]

Maybe too much background processes previously

[cobalt cobalt]

I heart crime scene cleaner ts is unoptimised asf but it's cool

[thin turtle]

Yeah

[light vector]

guys is it safe to buy games like rdr2 or minecraft on instant gaming website?

[cold elbow]

It's on your own risk

[lost fossil]

but if im not wrong there's a lot less risk than with g2a

[nova steppe]

Oh Windows... Never change... (please do.)

[gaunt topaz]

I really haven't seen that since Windows 8.1 or the memes ("I'D LIKE TO CLICK 'NEVER'!!") lol

is it even still a thing in newer builds of Windows 10 (or maybe even 11) or is Windows secretly keeping my computer up-to-date even though I disabled that multiple times

[cold elbow]

I saw this yesterday

Also i solved the NAS access issue in the latest windows 11 update

[lost fossil]

Windows Update is not responding

[civic arch]

anyone use fancontrol software ?

is it possible to somehow make it change fan curve when opening a game

my pubg crashed cuz my cpu was boiling alive

[rapid lake]

can't you like, assign a hotkey to change between different presets

[civic arch]

oh probably

[sterile cliff]

Maybe

Should be in the application's keybind settings or smth

For specific actions

[void turret]

Hi guys, firefox better than edge?

[lost fossil]

i mean really who doesn't

[rapid lake]

Anything is better than edge

[void turret]

Edge is Explorer Mk2 ?

[rapid lake]

Yeah basically

man why does siri suck so fucking bad

90% of time it doesn't even understand what I'm saying

is there like an AI or something I can use instead that can also do some of the stuff siri does on iOS?

[quaint helm]

free reward tho

aint no way chrome better than edge

[sterile cliff]

I use edge as a daily browser

I prefer it to chrome

[glass snow]

May I have some suggestions of apps that can entirely uninstall other apps on Windows fellas

[civic arch]

edge is good imo

i just set my mouse software page as the default

firefox does not support hid yet

[civic arch]

how bad is siri ???

googles ai seem to be decent ish

[cold elbow]

It have a temperature sensor so it will raise fan speed when it starts to get hot? No?

Create a mixed curve to target both cpu and gpu temperature sensors for case fans

[civic arch]

i had it set to static cuz i was on desktop

[civic cloud]

Apple whack

[sterile cliff]

To be fully honest even android with bixby sucks

They all suck tbf

Cant recognise basic fuckin words

[rapid lake]

[thin turtle]

Will bottom fans do anything useful here?

Ignore the ugly cables

[cold elbow]

Yes

Two intake

Two exhaust

[quaint helm]

cooling the psu/ sata (if have)

if u think its useless u can put it on top (so 1 intake 1 exhaust) (more cooling for ram)

[cold elbow]

Positive pressure isn't ideal

[thin turtle]

I wonder if I can open these

[thin turtle]

PSU has it's own fan

[quaint helm]

more cooling cus why not 🤷‍♂️

[cold elbow]

U can to remove hdd cage

[quaint helm]

its just a sata cage u can remove it via side panel

[thin turtle]

Oh fr

[quaint helm]

yeap (just hope ur cable aint messy and u can remove it easily)

[cold elbow]

And then lose it

Then u buy hdd with nowhere to mount

[thin turtle]

I will put it in the box

[quaint helm]

i believe theres like 1 or 2 sata ssd slot 🤔 like middle of the case (side panel pov)

[thin turtle]

I think one of the bottom fans will be useless here

[quaint helm]

remove it

[thin turtle]

[quaint helm]

cooler master psu always look cool

[lost fossil]

tbh not even ugly, all things considered

What's this for

lum(p sum of )bag(o)

[lost fossil]

cable management

[thin turtle]

I also got zip ties

[quaint helm]

velcro , make ur cable management look nicer

[lost fossil]

had to explain cable management to a coworker of mine, let me show how I use them (learned from Nzxt of all ppl)

one sec

[thin turtle]

[quaint helm]

o god not nzxt

[lost fossil]

pro painter

[thin turtle]

Where do I start even

[thin turtle]

Hmm

[quaint helm]

top right first then middle left imo

[lost fossil]

idk but u got the hooks for that cable tie right there

[quaint helm]

imo left side for those pcie cable , front panel ones = middle

[lost fossil]

what my coworker ended up with

[quaint helm]

reasonable for m-atx case

[lost fossil]

it's just one cable manglement channel though

[thin turtle]

Al

[quaint helm]

ur choice ig i dont like bending the cable too hard ill give at least a 90 degree max for cables

[thin turtle]

[thin turtle]

I have no idea about what I'm doing rn

[snow rover]

that power supply and molex centipede are uhh

confidence inspiring

[thin turtle]

[quaint helm]

ure doing great 👍 ill give it a 9/10 👏

[thin turtle]

[quaint helm]

cable-tie will make it look cleaner ~~lets not talk about when u want remove it ~~

[thin turtle]

[snow rover]

man i don't even remember what that side of my pc looks like

i put the cables in and quickly hid them behind the panel

[thin turtle]

I did that and the panel looked pregnant

[quaint helm]

i broke 1 of my case fan's ground cable when closing the side panel

[thin turtle]

Now this guy will get in the way of the intake fan

[quaint helm]

u can put it below 3rd gpu fan 👍

[thin turtle]

All the way to the right

[void turret]

Yes

[quaint helm]

b4 the big hole

[thin turtle]

We'll see how this will turn up

[quaint helm]

gamerock series

[thin turtle]

[quaint helm]

3080 rite? 🤔

[thin turtle]

[nova steppe]

brother if that tiny thing had any considerable effect on cooling, then fans would hardly work at all

[thin turtle]

No like physically

Can I put it on the fan?

[quaint helm]

dont 🤣

at least the side

[void turret]

On the corners but not on blades please

[nova steppe]

no

like they said, just have it to the side

[thin turtle]

I don't think there's any screw holes here anyway

They lied about the bottom fans

[nova steppe]

[void turret]

I didnt even see this, looks good

[quaint helm]

either 1 of the spot 👍

[thin turtle]

Yea

[thin turtle]

No

The back will do the least support

[nova steppe]

[nova steppe]

that's the end where you have it now

where they circled

[quaint helm]

i mean since the surface aint flat (man the only cons for gamerock series card) no choice lol

[thin turtle]

The one parallel to the PCIe slot?

[quaint helm]

if it doesnt block then sure else just put it at the corner

[nova steppe]

the biggest circle is like where you have it here

[quaint helm]

if u have a 3d printer it will solve everything for u 🤣 maximum airflow , no air lost

[nova steppe]

i need to get a 3d printed manifold for the top of my case so I can move the exhaust air somewhere else

[quaint helm]

i want to do something like this lol (vid by optimum)

[thin turtle]

This man is incredible

[nova steppe]

i remember back when he had only a few thousand subs

[quaint helm]

he legit take 'i pay for the fans i will use it fully' to another level lol

[thin turtle]

Now now chat

I will get a 14600k CPU and will most likely use a 240mm AIO

Shall I mount it as intake or exhaust

[quaint helm]

just get any am5 cpu 👍 dont have to worry much about heat issue

[thin turtle]

I don't wanna swap the whole motherboard come one mane

[quaint helm]

urs is b570m? man that air cooler is fat unable to see cleary

[thin turtle]

B760m

This one

[quaint helm]

ig find any cpu that have F since this board cant do some heavy overclock

[thin turtle]

Yeah but the still the 14600k is more suitable than a 14400 for a 3080

14600Kf will still be unlocked

[quaint helm]

mmm true

[quaint helm]

but no point lol amd dominates now 🤷‍♂️

[thin turtle]

Well the point is saving

[quaint helm]

mmmm saving mmmm save money and get F instead of K 🤣

[thin turtle]

[quaint helm]

theres no big diff tbh just lower boost by a little.....wait 14600kf cheaper than 14600k dam

[thin turtle]

Between the 14400 and the 14600k there's a 600MHz boost difference, but how much that difference matters is what I'll look for in youtube

The 14600k has bigger cache size in all L 1,2,3

[thin turtle]

Omg

Why is the 14600k this close to 7800x3D

[cold elbow]

Why not

Just ignore the massive power consumption

[thin turtle]

The price difference

[thin turtle]

lol

[cold elbow]

And the bios update that kills its performance or it kill itself

[thin turtle]

Didn't they fix that

Like the price increase is more than the performance

It's literally double

[civic arch]

amd is stupidly expensive

you can get close to the performance with intel too

while being cheaper

7800x3d is probably still 500€ +

600€ for a 9800x3d nice

[thin turtle]

[cold elbow]

Meanwhile u only really need a 9600 or 9500 i think

[thin turtle]

I think I'll stay with my heater brand a little longer than I thought

I was thinking abou switching to AMD when I upgrade the GPU again

But what the hell man

How's intel losing to this shit

They really dumb

[cold elbow]

Mhmm

[civic cloud]

I blame the shareholders

[thin turtle]

[civic arch]

9500 the new 7500f ?

my 7500f has been really good so far

seems to keep up with a 7800xt somewhat

[cold elbow]

Yeah it's good

Especially if you game on 1440p

[cobalt cobalt]

@thin turtle u won't believe this twin

[thin turtle]

[cobalt cobalt]

Today as I played sea of thieves my video drivers crashed and reset themselves 😭 ts I looked up the issue and the first thing I see Is "my issue sea of thieves"

IM LITTERALY PLAYING CURSED GAMES

[thin turtle]

🤣 🤣

Play hitman

[cobalt cobalt]

NO

[thin turtle]

[cobalt cobalt]

I might have to update my drivers tho I keep gpu up to date but nothing else rlly

Also I just hate hitman the games pricing structure sucks @thin turtle

[thin turtle]

Buy world of assassination

It has all 3 games

[sterile storm]

Can I just order these and replace the joystick kit, or do you have to do a thing called Soldering and what does soldering mean?

Two of my Ps5 controllers have stick drift, and my local repair shop is charging $45 per stick

[thin turtle]

Soldering is fixing the electronic components onto the PCB (printed circuit board)

It's a process similar to welding

[sterile storm]

How do you solder something onto the circuit board?

Is it cheaper to have someone fix it, or is it cheaper for me to fix it

Or replace the controller?

[thin turtle]

It requires knowledge

And training

[thin turtle]

Idk, but for soldering, you'll need tools specific for the job

[sterile storm]

I asked my dad and he has a soldering kit, he even asked why, and I told him, he wishes I was more motivated for other things

I've never soldered anything before, and I don't think he has for a controller at least.

[thin turtle]

tell him you want to practice on your device

let him guide you through it

[sterile storm]

I saw a video where someone cleaned part of it, and they managed to fix it, instead of replacing it

Do you think I should try cleaning it, or just replace it without worrying about damaging it

[thin turtle]

stick drift is an inherit flaw in the technology used for joysticks

it is destined to do that

[thin turtle]

try to replace it, you'll learn a thing or two

ask your dad to help you

[sterile storm]

Hopefully he's willing too

[thin turtle]

[sterile storm]

He's at work, but I asked him if he's soldered something before

My mom said I should just buy a new controller, and my 13 yr old brother says I should sell it broken

[thin turtle]

maybe buy a new controller and keep this one for science

[sterile storm]

Well I have 3 in total and 2 of them have stick drift, one has camera drift, and the other has movement drift

[thin turtle]

what's a camera drift

[sterile storm]

Well the right stick

I say the camera drift because 90% of my games use the right stick as camera angles

[thin turtle]

so stick drift

[sterile storm]

Well yea lol

So both controllers are messed up, the blue one is completely unusable because my character moves when I don't want it too (left stick)

[thin turtle]

it's cooked either way

[sterile storm]

But I probably should learn incase my 2 year warranty ends by the time I need it for my 3rd controller

[thin turtle]

did it come with a warranty?

use it

[sterile storm]

My newest controller has a warranty on it, that one's not broken yet

I paid a bit extra for the warranty on it, because of the stick drift for my controllers

[thin turtle]

I hate these shops

[sterile storm]

I got it from Walmart and I use Allstate, it covers mechanical issues, so like stick drift

[civic cloud]

Buy a controller with hall effect joysticks, they last much longer

[sterile storm]

How?

[civic cloud]

wdym how?

[sterile storm]

Like is it a controller your talking about?

[ashen turret]

anyone got experience in roblox tas?

[rapid lake]

roblox tax? didn't know roblox has taxes

[civic cloud]

Yes because you just said you bought a controller with extra warranty against stick drift? So I'm telling you to look for a specific feature of your next controller which solves the stick drift problem?

[rapid lake]

what is a hall effect joystick

that's what he's asking

[sterile storm]

Ya like I only like using official controllers for my consoles

Or licensed

[civic cloud]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor

[rapid lake]

[civic cloud]

a hall effect joystick is a joystick which uses a hall effect sensor
"What's a hall effect sensor"
Look at the wiki page

[lost fossil]

the problem is that he's a console player and so he might not be able to use a 3rd party controller with halo effect sticks

what i did was replacing drifty modules in my OFFICIAL SONY DUALSHOCK 4 with cheap halo effect ones from aliexpress

so it is very much official still but now with near bulletproof sticks

[cold elbow]

8bit makes nice controllers and cheap

[civic cloud]

yeah they are like 30 bucks and are Xbox certified (idk if they make PlayStation ones)

[chrome mirage]

What Nvidia graphics card is equivalent to PS5 Digital edition??

[snow gazelle]

3060

[lost fossil]

if ps5 has an equivalent of an rx6600 then gtx 1080 ti

[willow drum]

yo

is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in a dell g3 3500 with intel i5 and geforce 1650

[wispy mesa]

Its a laptop so no

[quaint helm]

aint that high

[quaint helm]

IF u good with soldering and know what to change sure 🤷‍♂️

[mystic solar]

yea according to my storage, I have 879GB of storage still available so idk wtf your talking about

[thin turtle]

Ps5 runs 1440p native innit

The pro does something around 1800p

The PSSR is ironically only useful for people who have 1080p monitor

So anything 1440p or a 4k TV will not get affected by the PSSR propaganda

Everything there is upscaling or native

Or was it three Ss

PSSSR

PlayStation Super Sampled Resulotion

Spectral super resolution

I thought it was a super sampling technique

Everything I said up there was wrong

PSSR is just for upscaling

It doesn't do super sampling

Me when I spread misinformation. Smh

[cold elbow]

So Microsoft just extended office and defender updates for windows 11 by 3 years

I said it before
Microsoft wont abandon win 10 like they said they were

[thin turtle]

The community wins

[civic cloud]

I love spreading misinformation

[rapid lake]

But you have to compensate for the fact that PC games won't be optimised to the hardware that you have in your build, unlike the PS5

[sleek snow]

what rpi serving what

[thin turtle]

Serving these volts

[quartz kayak]

Terraria server would be cool

Or

[snow rover]

not very good

[quartz kayak]

I wonder if thats possible im guessing not

Bcs of ram right

[snow rover]

i reckon it's more the cpu

i have an i5 2400s as a nonsense server and that's still pretty slow

[thin turtle]

How does a gpu become a server

[snow rover]

what gpu?????????????????????????

[quartz kayak]

I read online that a raspberry pi can host a very basic minecraft server

😩

Very basic

I want 500 mods

[snow rover]

go get a 9950x3d then

[thin turtle]

[thin turtle]

Do some old i7

Or the infamous 12100f

But you need more cores right?

Generally

[quartz kayak]

If you saw the struggle of my main pc running an atm server while playing it

What is he

Monka?

[lost fossil]

just a hmmm

or hmm

[civic cloud]

do the what

[thin turtle]

The shrink

[civic cloud]

make it big

nice

[quaint helm]

its optional but it decrease the heat by a little too

[quaint helm]

imo thermal grizzy makes good contact frame

[thin turtle]

I did order this

[quaint helm]

i only like thermalright's paste 👍

[void turret]

thermalleft's bad?

[quaint helm]

umm not a fan of the design thats all

[snow rover]

ah yes, the design that you'll totally see under the heatsink

[willow drum]

should i get a ddr4 16gb ram for my dell g3 3500 laptop?

[wispy mesa]

that depends on your laptops use

and glowing soldering iron on a security camera

[mystic solar]

Wtf Apple? EVERYTHING MUST have an undo history especially for me

[nova steppe]

You should be asking yourself that. Do you need more memory? Do you have the funds available to buy it? If so, then go right ahead! Just don't get anything faster than 3000MHz as your laptop only supports up to 2933MHz.

[willow drum]

im planning on getting it and will the ddr4 16gb be enough

[nova steppe]

for most tasks, yeah. it also states it only supports up to 16GB, as well

the only time I've run out of memory on my laptop that also has 16 gigs was a BeamNG "scenario" (race)

[quaint helm]

same tbh everygame its fine for my memory , beamng = 16 is nothing 💀 memory is never enough

[thin turtle]

is there a lore reason for this

why isn't the disk pulling ahead

1:1 speeds

it's beautiful
