w11 enterprise ltsc is fine

[rapid lake]

If you’re running it on a smart TV maybe

[thin turtle]

W11 professional?

[rapid lake]

But any laptop made after like 2015 that has an ssd will be fine

[thin turtle]

It takes a lot of ram

[rapid lake]

I never checked how much

But I assume it’s 4

W10 for me took 3.4 or so

[snow rover]

i'm using 12 gigs of ram with only firefox and discord open

granted firefox is using 5gb and discord another 1.5

[quaint helm]

for me in using w11 currently pumping 7.5gb ram lol (discord 800mb , edge 1.4g , spotify 300 , steam 300 task manager 70) others = win11 moment

[thin turtle]

So it idles at 6~

[quaint helm]

6 ish yeah

[thin turtle]

When your ram is 32, the OS is taking 20%~

[quaint helm]

taxxed

[thin turtle]

Or like 18

That's a lot

[rapid lake]

Guess I never really noticed how much it uses

With older hardware it doesn’t make that much sense to upgrade because you’ll be paying $20-30 let’s say to upgrade RAM at least, and you’re getting an OS that isn’t all that much better

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

@wise jewel you'll need a mechanical hard disk hdd drive if you're planning on having all recent call of duties installed

that is, if you're short on money

15.36 tb ssds are very expensive

[quaint helm]

at least 1k

[wise jewel]

Dont worry ma'am im just using my old PC setup, thanks for advice also

[supple walrus]

eh

I can get it running on full scale VMs with as low as 4GB RAM

It's not that bad

a lot of 'RAM heavy' stuff is more just preallocation than anything

[thin turtle]

Drop the tutorial

[supple walrus]

Learn how to use virtual machines

[rapid lake]

What are those

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

English pls

[thin turtle]

A machine that's virtual

[supple walrus]

Nothing that you'd use to game, lmao, except if you're running janky multi instances

[rapid lake]

We don’t speak Australia here

[supple walrus]

https://www.cisco.com/site/us/en/learn/topics/computing/what-is-a-virtual-machine.html

[rapid lake]

So it’s like streaming

[supple walrus]

no.

It's like if you had two PCs inside your tower

Two entirely seperate systems

but instead of two seperate PCs, physically, it's creating two on a software level

[rapid lake]

I see

Where it says "on a separate host computer" I thought that meant you used a different computer than the one you have somewhere else to run software and control it through the one you have on you

[supple walrus]

Nah
It's kind of like an emulator
But instead of say, emulating Android, you're emulating another PC operating system

[rapid lake]

So VMs are essentially PCs in the virtual (software) sense that rely on hardware shared between them?

[supple walrus]

Yes

[rapid lake]

What do people use them for

[supple walrus]

and how i can get W11 working on 4GB RAM, is by only giving the VM access to 4GB RAM

[supple walrus]

In cybersecurity they're used for heaps of stuff

[rapid lake]

Ohhh makes sense

[supple walrus]

This is a good explainer

[supple walrus]

Imagine like
You wanted to see if something is malware
But don't want to put your own system at risk
Boot up a VM
if the malware infects the VM, it doesn't matter lmao

[rapid lake]

Are viruses able to infect just software or also hardware?

[supple walrus]

Because the VM has no 'connection' to your actual system

[rapid lake]

Right

It’s just using some of the physical resources

[supple walrus]

Yes, but also no
It gets complicated
But those kinds of malware are extremely sophisticated and rare

Like I can count on one hand how many exist

And far beyond the scope of 'normal' computers

[rapid lake]

So practically

How do you switch between two VMs

[supple walrus]

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

[supple walrus]

The same way you switch between any other application and your desktop

[rapid lake]

Doesn’t that put all VMs on one machine at risk if a virus were to infect one

[supple walrus]

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

[rapid lake]

A physical switch would be "safer” no

[supple walrus]

different use cases for different situations
There's many kinds of VMs

[rapid lake]

Or maybe that’s what this is

[supple walrus]

Like the way hyoervisors work is the machines are 'physically' seperate

Because the hypervisor acts as the go between

[rapid lake]

Interesting

Although I don’t understand these disgrams

Diagrams

[thin turtle]

But don't OS'es share files?

[supple walrus]

Partitioning

Each VM is it's own OS

[rapid lake]

I assume you split the drive into partitions

[supple walrus]

As in
Separate key and all

[thin turtle]

How does a malware not infect all

[thin turtle]

Ooh

[rapid lake]

But the physical drive is still one which is

[thin turtle]

But if I had a movie in windows

Can I see it from linux

[supple walrus]

Sure, there's some malware that have the capability to bypass this
That's where it steps into more advanced stuff like airgapping and Faraday cages

[rapid lake]

Or just use two drives?

It’s not like machines don’t have multiple drives anyways

[supple walrus]

Tldr: if you try to copy something from your OS, to the VM, it won't work

You have to copy it into the hypervisor, and then into the VM

[supple walrus]

LITERALLY

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

auto-matically

[supple walrus]

And in the same way that if a malware is somehow sophisticated enough to 'escape' a VM
99% of the time it's just stuck in the depths of hell that is the hyoervisor now

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

I imagine the hypervisor like a key to a garage where you have all your cars, you use the key to first get one of the cars out and they you throw it away so no one gets into your other cars

[supple walrus]

and windows has systems in place that recognise 'this is a hypervisor, don't accept outbound traffic'
So it literally can't get out unless you manually do it

[rapid lake]

If you leave the key in the car you’re driving

Then if it gets stolen your whole garage is at risk

[thin turtle]

[supple walrus]

Even connecting a VM to the network you're connected to, requires a bridge mirror, or NAT mirror

[thin turtle]

Once I get 64GB of RAM I'll start juggling

[rapid lake]

Use this to analogy to teach people about VMs

I’m thinking of putting the PC on the new desk for looks but I think I’d feel the slight vibration that it makes

[thin turtle]

What the desk made of

[snow rover]

[rapid lake]

Wood

Idk what type

[civic cloud]

Why does your pc vibrate? Do you have harddrives?

[lost fossil]

how many hard drives do you have

[thin turtle]

Why would it vibrations

[rapid lake]

None

[civic cloud]

Tf

[lost fossil]

then it's good

[rapid lake]

Just the fans

[lost fossil]

then jsut put your pc on the desk

[civic cloud]

Your fans shouldn't vibrate that much that it's noticeable on the desk

[rapid lake]

When I pet it and give it a pat on the head put my hand on it I can feel it

[civic cloud]

ok but the pc case has rubber feet

[snow rover]

that's not a good thing

[thin turtle]

Bad fan bearing

[green musk]

here's what's on it

[snow rover]

It’s only noticeable when playing

[civic cloud]

wow you finally replaced the plastic wrap desk with an insanely expensive secret lab desk, nice

[rapid lake]

Why the keyboard cable going 🎢

[supple walrus]

it will change your life

[lost fossil]

cable management

[green musk]

i got a search screen

[supple walrus]

Because the secrelab monitor arms have actual cable management

[rapid lake]

Imagine using a wired keyboard

[thin turtle]

Your gpu is used and probably mined on, that's why the fans are dead @rapid lake
Probably dry of oil or bearings are wearing out

[snow rover]

why would i want a keyboard that i never move anywhere to be wireless

[rapid lake]

Hold up there cowboy

[snow rover]

if it was couch keyboard sure

[rapid lake]

I be moving it

[snow rover]

but this keyboard weighs 3kg and i don't even have a couch

[lost fossil]

[supple walrus]

I wasn't going to pay an extra like $100 ontop of this already expensive, but good, keyboard (that i bought on sale)
Wireless ain't worth $100 when I have a desk that essentially deletes the cable problem anyway

[thin turtle]

I have a coach

[supple walrus]

cooooch

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

You can run the cable down and bundle it with the other cables

Pretty sure the cable management bit on the monitor is just for the stuff that connects into the monitor itself

[supple walrus]

Huh why didn't I think of that (/s)

[lost fossil]

leave this menu and again

[rapid lake]

The monitor I’m getting has one I think

[supple walrus]

The monitor doesn't have cable management

[snow rover]

i just have the cables velcro strapped to my monitor arm

[snow rover]

not actual velcro®

[rapid lake]

I love sarcasm but not this time

[supple walrus]

It's the arms
And it's for all cables

[thin turtle]

@lost fossil do i need a product key?

[supple walrus]

if it's a prebuilt the key should be on the motherboard

it'll just activate itself

[supple walrus]

The moment you do anything that isn't gaming, H + V is the only way you'll ever go

[thin turtle]

2 meters of table

I could sleep on that

[civic cloud]

I like it because it takes less horizontal space and you don't need much space for discord and spotify

[thin turtle]

I'm 6'7 btw

[civic cloud]

No it's 180

[quaint helm]

X axis right

[supple walrus]

I think the Magnus is pretty similar

[rapid lake]

Idk I think horizontal is more functional

[thin turtle]

I live in a diagonal world

For saving space sure yeah

[civic cloud]

It's the biggest of "standard" sizes

[green musk]

do i need to do it?

[rapid lake]

But otherwise I like H

[quaint helm]

u have to

[civic cloud]

Give it a try dude

[green musk]

okay

i will

[thin turtle]

Still almost as wide as a bathroom

[supple walrus]

It absolutely isn't for anyone who does anything productivity related
A HV can be split into a 1+2 combo with three apps, and still have it be readable

[civic cloud]

I think my bathroom is smaller tbh

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

Ideally I want 3 monitors all the same size

But I’m not going there yet

[supple walrus]

Especially when using something like command line

(Or coding, yuck)

Or even just, discord, or generally reading webpages

[rapid lake]

I generally find myself running out of horizontal space when coding ngl

Vertical would be a pain

[supple walrus]

Okay I checked
Regular magnus, without the L extension, is 1500x700
I dont need the L extension because of my old desk instead

[supple walrus]

USE TEXT WRAPPING

[lost fossil]

what about the W extension

[supple walrus]

W O B B L E

[green musk]

this is for laptop

[rapid lake]

I guess

[lost fossil]

menu items should be mostly the same though

[green musk]

right

[rapid lake]

It’s usually just when writing something super long inside a print function or smth, and some languages will let me carry over onto a new line if I use 3 quotations or other syntax

So it’s ok

Anyways I’m getting the first monitor today

[supple walrus]

See i just, hate coding

And cmd/powershell/kali cmd has text wrap by default so

:)

[green musk]

mine says physical disk info instead of raid volume info

[lost fossil]

[lost fossil]

ok but what are the options on the previous page

[civic cloud]

I don't code 🤝

[green musk]

its just this

[rapid lake]

It’s

MSI Optix MAG271C

I think

And the second one’s gonna be

MSI Pro MP251 E2

Pretty good value considering

[lost fossil]

can you go back to the home page and press f8 and show what options it gives you for boot drives

bc i don't know what the hell is going on

[rapid lake]

https://tenor.com/view/real-shit-i-sleep-shaq-triggered-woke-gif-17504394

oreo doesn’t know what the hell’s going on that’s a bad sign

I’d just give up

[green musk]

never

this is what shows up

this is the drive that has windows on it

[lost fossil]

hm

what do you have selected here

[green musk]

i dont have advanced\sata configuration

[lost fossil]

the advanced tab

[lost fossil]

what it has inside platform misc configuration and system agent configuration

or, uhh... you could try bringing up the search bar and looking for "sata"

[green musk]

here

[lost fossil]

in system agent, show what's in the storage interface menu

these options should be somewhere

[green musk]

here

[supple walrus]

that's

No Buenos

Are your drives all plugged in?

[green musk]

only one

[lost fossil]

change that from raid to ahci

[supple walrus]

...the fuck do you have RAID on for?

[lost fossil]

or sata or whatever the other option is called

[green musk]

i got this thing yesterday bro

its prebuilt

[snow rover]

gotta keep all the cat pictures safe

[supple walrus]

It shouldn't even be on by default
It shouldnt even be an option with one drive

[lost fossil]

then go to the exit tab, save and reboot and then spam the del key again

[green musk]

nothing happens

[ocean thunder]

My TV stopped working and I want to get a 45-50 inch TV and I don't want to spend too much, what are some options?

[lost fossil]

ok but press f8 now and what you have for boot devices now

[ocean thunder]

Which one

[green musk]

same as before

[lost fossil]

damn

[lost fossil]

go back to advanced - sa configuration - storage device and check if that setting is set to ahci

[supple walrus]

uh
Oleganski i think shit may be fubar

[green musk]

it was not

[supple walrus]

Are you sure your actual drive is plugged in proper?
Because this looks like it's just using the removable media alone
Which... shouldn't be possible

[green musk]

i changed it to ahci again

[green musk]

the internal hard drive?

[supple walrus]

Did you save the settings

[supple walrus]

Yes.

[lost fossil]

i don't remember if you can save and reboot right from there by pressing f10, but try pressing f10 and see if it asks you anything

[green musk]

its plugged in

[green musk]

i didn't save settings the first time

but

i did now

and im back here

[snow rover]

that is a good place to be

[supple walrus]

Next?

[green musk]

install now

[supple walrus]

Yes

I haven't seen expee in forever

which one

[quaint helm]

10 pro of course

free pro

[supple walrus]

10 home

[green musk]

actually or

[lost fossil]

last time the hurdle was that after pressing custom installation there were no drives to install to

[lost fossil]

10 pro is the only feasible option

[supple walrus]

Yes pro is 'better' but you don't need it chief

[snow rover]

no, your prebuilt will not activate windows pro

[supple walrus]

[green musk]

i clicked 10 home

Plus it was professionally built so if it up and kills itself I have 5 year warranty under ACL

why is there a corsair stuff in fractual case

[supple walrus]

And this PC isn't even a year old

[civic cloud]

Hey I only have a 80 class GPU

[supple walrus]

Because i wanted an anti sag bracket that wasn't just 'pole'
And that one is like, the only decently engineered one around

No way

[lost fossil]

and besides

why not just hang the gpu from the top of the case

no bracket, super stealth

[supple walrus]

Because it's also funny having a fancy ass antisag that no one will ever see

[lost fossil]

idk me personally i would rather have a fancy ass volume of air that noone will ever see

[snow rover]

i considered hanging my cpu cooler from the top of the case with some phishing line

never got around to it

[steel sentinel]

but why

[snow rover]

accidentally bought a few too many laptop chips

[supple walrus]

Don't 'but why'
We were diagnosing shit

Idk why

Ask asooos

[steel sentinel]

makes sense lol

does anyone have a comprehensive list of all current Thunderbolt 4/5 monitors? Clutching my head with TB dock problems and given the smug answers I've got from Mac ppl with TB4 monitors I was thinking about converting one of my Mac setups to no separate docks, just all thunderbolt monitors as a test

[supple walrus]

Your best bet is to ask an actual tech forum/server/subreddit

[steel sentinel]

it often just falls thru the cracks so for something more obscure it's been worth throwing it out there where general enthusiasts collect

[green musk]

cool laptop

[supple walrus]

this is your PC, lel

but

you guys thought it was laptop so

[supple walrus]

It technically is

It has a laptop chip

the worst part is that price u can get 3060ti + 5600x lol which is enough for 1080

[supple walrus]

my microatx test rig is A$899 (587USD) for a 5500 + 3050, plus professional building lmao
This, starts at US$1299

[steel sentinel]

also what can you even test with a 3050
i just got rid of all my 3060's

that was long overdue

[supple walrus]

Do i know how to build a PC?
Yes.

Do i trust myself to given I'm half paralysed?
Nope, let alone with the cost of my actual rig
So I paid like A$60 extra to have it built professionally, which in the grand scheme of a near A$4000 (US$2600) rig, is nothing, especially for the peace of mind

[quaint helm]

test? nothing

[supple walrus]

[steel sentinel]

ohhhh the 5500 doesn't have an igp

ic

[lost fossil]

no i mean i know your situa but it's the wording that makes it sound special

"professional building"

is that what it says in the final price list

[supple walrus]

I mean it is?
They have people on their staff that only build, at their main HQ

They don't do sales/support

They just build custom order rigs

[snow rover]

it's professional building if they get paid to build it

[quaint helm]

i believe they include stress testing in 'professional building' lol if not they just scam you

[supple walrus]

yes, it gets tested and all

quality was good, I checked it all myself on arrival
10/10, sound

[quaint helm]

if we build ourself = noob building?

[supple walrus]

and they probably spent like
A good couple hours on the cable management lmao

Shit is clean as hell

[quaint helm]

i would cut those cable-tie tbh if prebuilts

[lost fossil]

why

[quaint helm]

bcus i gonna add more stuff into my pc

[supple walrus]

I mean it's not a prebuilt lol
It's WeBuild
Custom parts, picked, built & shipped

and why though

[supple walrus]

see I spent $4000 upfront so I won't need to do that for like half a decade lol

[quaint helm]

even if i gonna spend 4k i still gonna do the cable myself bcus i will rmb which wire is for which part lol

GPU is at 99% all the time

Idk if I should keep fps unlocked for non pvp games too

Seems like a waste, keeping the GPU at higher temps just for it to look smoother without any competitive advantage yk

[civic cloud]

Also pulling more watts

Overall just shortening the GPU's lifespan

How can I get rid of, or at least reduce the time it takes to alt tab when running a game in a different res than desktop

[civic cloud]

change resolution

[thin turtle]

What does that do again

[lost fossil]

if the game supports borderless fullscreen or windowed borderless mode, use that

some games such as fartza horizon 5 call it just fullscreen when it's actually borderless fullscreen

[rapid lake]

When using 4:3 I can't do other than fullscreen

[lost fossil]

you can try using dxwnd which lets you run fullscreen games in windowed mode

[rapid lake]

I can actually do windowed 4:3

But that still has the borders

[lost fossil]

it is what it is

[rapid lake]

dang

I guess that's how it's gonna be then

Until I get the second monitor, then I won't need to alt tab maybe

[lost fossil]

you probably will

[civic cloud]

Hitting windows key is usually faster tho

[stone apex]

I think WD Black SN850X is gonna be viable as a main SSD?

[pallid mason]

guys i need help, earlier this day it said that BatllEye is required to play gtao, i verified the game files and restarted, it worked but now it is back with the same problem. When i restarted the game that for enable BatllEye and it says unable to connect to gtao or timed out intiliazing session

[thin turtle]

[thin turtle]

Check #gta-tech-support

And how much time do it take to reinstall the game ?

I'd just do that tbh

It takes like 35 minutes for me

[rapid lake]

On the TV it wasn’t so bad but with this monitor every time I alt tab from fullscreen back to windows it’s like the monitor dies for a couple seconds before coming back to life

Like why can’t the game support borderless windowed with 4:3

[rapid lake]

Ok apparently you could force it to stay 4:3 with windowed fs until today when they broke it with the new update

Moreover on screens, I got my phone’s (iphone 12) screen replaced today, faceid was being really wonky and I’d just bought the phone so the shop changed the whole screen saying the old one wasn’t properly calibrated and couldn’t be fixed

I start using the phone and while faceid works, everything feels so choopy and slow/jittery… it was low power mode

I thought having a faster more efficient cpu meant low power it could still manage to work but nope

It's a cool app, but people need to stop overglorifying it as the be all end all for free fps, becuase it only give significant gains on certain games. Some might even lower fps
