Not ur type then ahahah

[jovial tide]

Sound card? Wifi card? @quaint helm

[civic cloud]

They do what the name says

[quaint helm]

optional stuff

the most last stuff to consider

[jovial tide]

I have to pay for windows?

[quaint helm]

of course lmao it aint free

[high delta]

or is it

[jovial tide]

you forgot to mention

[quaint helm]

dont...ik what u gonna do

[jovial tide]

Who you say you have mid range or high end?

[quaint helm]

wym 💀

[proper sundial]

You can use their free trial for lifetime

[jovial tide]

Explain 🤔

[proper sundial]

You can install a windows for free you don't have to pay, you'll get the setup on Microsoft website, it'll come with free trial

Although you won't be able to configure some things in free trial like themes and stuff

And some restriction

[jovial tide]

So you’re paying for full access?

[civic cloud]

yes

[proper sundial]

Yes, it's upto you, there's no restriction in playing games and doing other stuff though

[jovial tide]

Is it worth it for $100? Probably wont be doing any too much configuration depending on what it involves

[proper sundial]

I'd just say you stick to the trial

Or find an alternate way

[jovial tide]

Do you have to get windows? Any other browser work?

or is windows the default/ better option?

[proper sundial]

Windows is the best

Other OS you won't even understand how they work so Windows it is

[jovial tide]

Okokok

[lilac heath]

[jovial tide]

?

[jovial tide]

As I stated before im a console player. I dont know about pc

[civic cloud]

You could install the arch Linux browser

[alpine echo]

Firefox is old news

[proper sundial]

Installing XP

[cold elbow]

But why

[brave field]

In a nice, protected VM, on your local network?

[proper sundial]

yes

[proper sundial]

why not its XP the legendary XP

[cold elbow]

Idk never tried it

But it's pretty old

[proper sundial]

really?

[brave field]

It still feels like Windows even today, except for not having start to search and window snapping

[cold elbow]

Yeah it's before my time

[proper sundial]

how old are you if you could tell

[cold elbow]

Old enough

[proper sundial]

I feel amazing already

even a 2010 kid would know about xp though

[cold elbow]

Xp was released back in 2003 right?

[proper sundial]

yes

[cold elbow]

And windows 7 was back in 2007?

[proper sundial]

2001 to be precise 7 in 2009

[cold elbow]

My dad computer had windows 7 and my first computer ran windows 8

[proper sundial]

I am from windows 98

[cold elbow]

I cant typee wtf

[brave field]

that's surprising

a huge number of computers out in public ran XP until ~2011

[proper sundial]

11 dude it ran till like 15

and we still have 7 running

My office staff has 7

[cold elbow]

Damn

[proper sundial]

they dont need 10 they do accounts tally and stuff

they are good

[cold elbow]

People used to hate on Windows 8.1 but i liked using it over Windows 7

[brave field]

Those darn core2duo machines lasted FOREVER. Came with an XP sticker that said "Vista-compatible" and are still in use, running 10 today

[proper sundial]

having experience from 98 to 11, we kinda keep 8 in our list it was just worst

[cold elbow]

8 was bad yeah

8.1 wasn't

[proper sundial]

yea my staff have it running he's still working in core2duo

[brave field]

stop this 8 slander, 8.1 didn

[proper sundial]

I have atom too

[brave field]

't deserve to exist

[cold elbow]

It had lots of cool features imo

Including how it deals with drivers

[proper sundial]

in my whole life experience only 10 is such a stable os I have now

[brave field]

The one version of Internet Explorer that didn't suck, an actual metro settings app that didn't suck, huge improvements to rendering, smooth animations, lighter at idle than 7, 8 was great!

[proper sundial]

including 7 but 10 you know new stuff

also the best part of old os like xp 7 and vista are they dont have backdoor stuff now that we have new 10 and 11 theres like 1000 stuff running

our pc aint idle at all

[cold elbow]

It's amazing that im still using the old control panel daily

[proper sundial]

I installed chrome in xp they telling me my clock is ahead

am exploring xp from future

[cold elbow]

That doesn't look like xp

[proper sundial]

I remember I used to get clock is behind

its xp only

[civic cloud]

Fuck the tile menu on win8

[proper sundial]

you must be having that grass wallpaper in your head

[brave field]

xp x64 😆

[cold elbow]

They kinda removed it in 8.1

[civic cloud]

I don't remember

[proper sundial]

now even a 2075 kid will say its xp

even I put this wallpaper in windows 10 no one will know its 10, this wall is so goated

[brave field]

nostalgia is that low quality clicking sound in explorer

and the balloon sounds

[proper sundial]

yes I am exploring all that, am just making myself comfortable in this environment

getting all the stuff I used to have

[nova steppe]

some of the PCs in my school's computer lab still ran 98 in 2005 💀
then we were on XP until 7 was already a few years old

[cold elbow]

Must been fun

Didn't get to enjoy that

Born right in time to get scamned

[proper sundial]

well you can enjoy it any time now thanks to vm

[brave field]

Does that mean you missed out on Windows Media Center too?

[proper sundial]

you wont feel nostalgia but its a must try

if you like pc

[rapid lake]

Uni and school ran W7 here

still do probably

And I meant it's not half bad

[cold elbow]

No idea what that is

[proper sundial]

yes no wonder 7 is enough to manage all their school work

[cold elbow]

Always used vlc

[proper sundial]

well vlc is also from that time

but media center is something else

[brave field]

yeah but vlc was ugly

[cold elbow]

It runs everything i throw at it

[proper sundial]

whenever we open it in fresh installed windows we used to select express settings fast so we can run our content

[cold elbow]

!ban @deep vortex phishing

[brave field]

Media Center was the smoothest, sleekest thing out there. And unlike RealPlayer, it didn't support any codecs anyone actually used!

Lmao what

[brave field]

So much time spent trying to get media to work with its beautiful UI and sound effects. It would've been magical with a remote and a plasma TV!

supported PCI tv tuner cards too, for the 5 people who had them

[cold elbow]

Wait like

[brave field]

and it could communicate with the Xbox 360/Smartglass and its DLNA features

[cold elbow]

Turning your pc to a satellite receiver?

[brave field]

yes, guide and all

[cold elbow]

Kinda cool and you can record

[brave field]

The vista-era builtins were awesome

[cold elbow]

I once got my hands on an old vaio

[brave field]

The MSN Internet Checkers and Backgammon and the XP version of Spider Solitaire, I miss it!

you've gotta get some VMs and try

[cold elbow]

It had windows 7 but had a recovery partition with windows vista so i installed that and man it looked goofy

[brave field]

howso?

[cold elbow]

Windows aero or whatever they called it

Too many animations and bubbles

Slow af

[brave field]

Vista aero and not one of the versions of 7 aero?

Do you remember lots of black, or lots of blue? Glass?

[cold elbow]

Lots of black glass

Everything looked like glass

Oh and it was loaded with lots of junk

From sony and Microsoft

[brave field]

That's the slowness right there

The few people who bothered with Windows Widgets Gadgets made performance hogging garbage

What do you think of 7's aero glass in comparison?

[cold elbow]

It's much better

I liked windows 7 in general

[brave field]

I resent 7's aero for having stricter requirements

its non-glass styling looks horrible compared to Vista's

[cold elbow]

7 for me was like an empty room or foundation

U have to put things there yourself

Like browser, media player, antivirus and even drivers

[brave field]

That was nice, except for that one super barebones version that was literally empty

I want to say Windows 7... Starter? Home Starter?

[indigo badger]

windows 11 peak

[quaint helm]

10 better

[void turret]

7 even better

[indigo badger]

windows 10 is losing support this year and i'm pretty sure windows 7 isnt even effectively usable for anything new anymore

Pc offer

•SSD: nvme 1tb
•GPU: RTX 3070 8gb
•CASE: rgb

550$ onlyy

All parts new warranty 1 year
Gpu used

I got robbed, paid the same amount ($555 even) and got a 3060 12gb instead of a 3070

[lost fossil]

rule 10

[lost fossil]

will probably do better than 3070 with its extra 4 gigs of memory

[rapid lake]

Doubt

Haven’t had any game get past 10gb even

Also not them trying to match the case RGB fans with the cpu cooler because you can’t change the rgb on that

It’s not even that cheap of a cooler it’s like $30 so it should have a cable for the rgb

This is funny

Interestingly the 3060 makes use of its 12gb there

So although it’s overall slower, when the faster GPUs have to be conservative with their VRAM while it doesn’t, they have the same performance roughly

[quaint helm]

fun fact those 3 almost use the same die ga104

[rapid lake]

Same way CPUs do that aswell

But overall paying $70 to trade in 3060 for 3070 is a bad choice

The 3070ti might be justified but ultimately still not worth it

If I knew any tech shops that did it, perhaps

But I know no one is risking that

And the only soldering I’ve done was for a little physics project in school which didn’t work

[quartz kayak]

Yea its kinda big but i got used to it this sounds so bad sorry

The only issue is the volume (reason im getting a dongle)

[lost fossil]

my issue is that my ear canals are angled upwards (or at least way more upwards than usual) and so default "heatshrink" earhooks don't work with my ears bc they easily pull the earphones out

Its never really "free"

But Janet and Luther said the best things in life are free

Was it all lies

[upbeat spade]

then evidently both are overpriced 😎

[quartz kayak]

Everyone is so silly today

I hate buying cool things

I ve been thinking about the cables and i still cant choose

[upbeat spade]

purple

[quartz kayak]

[snow rover]

copper

[quartz kayak]

The purple looks nice but the iems are black and the tips are white so the black and white would fit better but i could end up buying new iems in the future

[quartz kayak]

Wgere copper

[snow rover]

at the copper store

[quartz kayak]

What

[quartz kayak]

.

[vagrant crown]

A or B?

Choose one

[upbeat spade]

buy new tips

or just

don't care

purple > coordination

[quartz kayak]

What do you think duck

[vagrant crown]

For me would be purple ofc

[upbeat spade]

i didnt even coordinate my eartips

bc the green ones fit me better

like just

just choose

just get one

[vagrant crown]

It’s not that easy to just choose lol

There’s a process

[upbeat spade]

it's easy here

because there's only one correct answer and it's purple

[lost fossil]

i get moondrop's spring eartips and all of them fit my ears whereas all others don't, regardless of size, they all fall out

[upbeat spade]

i'm not buying springtips if they don't come with chus anymore 😔

[lost fossil]

i thought it's because they have a smooth surface so i got some cheap smooth surface tips on ali and they fall out

[upbeat spade]

i'm pretty sure it's because springtips are designed to push outwards

that's what all the ridges are

[vagrant crown]

Have you considered new ears?

[upbeat spade]

they're spring-y bits that push outward

[lost fossil]

i

[lost fossil]

if this was an option i would do it in a heartbeat

[snow rover]

go to the ear store

[lost fossil]

earie suggestion

[snow rover]

aliexpress needs to hurry up i'm getting tired of this mouse

ion know how it's even possible to fuck up the firmware so bad that a 250mah battery lasts a day

or the battery itself is bad

[lost fossil]

modern phones lead me to believe that 250mahh is not a lot

[snow rover]

i mean it isn't a lot

but it should be plenty for a mouse

a gpx battery is 290mah and it lasts like a month

[quartz kayak]

Since when are eartips 10 euro

Holy shit

[upbeat spade]

always has been

wait until you see how much focal earpads are

[quartz kayak]

When i was small i would buy eartip boxes on the chinese store for 2 euro with like 6 tips

[muted mantle]

so uuh this is interesting looking

and they are making headphones now

[snow rover]

which are somehow even uglier than the phones

[muted mantle]

i mean

nvm they are fucking hideous

i was gonna say they fit the aesthetic of their other products but these look nasty compared to ear's

why is the base (3) the most expensive one

or is (3a) kind of like a "budget" version of the (3)

[snow rover]

yes

[muted mantle]

ok thats fair, the camera layout and, a small screen on the back of the (3) gives it away?

why does it have a small screen there lmao

[lost fossil]

idk i think the bottom right one looks the best out of the 4

[muted mantle]

they all looks stupid imo

(1) and (2) are the best looking

[lost fossil]

in the age of glass slabs they do it to stand out

which is fair

[muted mantle]

(2) has a slight edge because of the sliced up lights

by "sliced up" i mean this

(1) looks annoying, (2) has some layers to its lights

wild price difference

both have 12gb ram 512gb storage

the other one is white, thats the only difference

[snow rover]

man 550 for a used one is not a good deal

snapdragon 8+ gen 1

i mean it could be worse

taking a photo of the phone in the mirror with it

[cold elbow]

I do that a lot

When I get a LAN cable to my room, can’t I just set up a router there aswell?

For better wifi coverage

[snow rover]

yes but you don't want multiple routers

[rapid lake]

Do they start interfering with each other

[snow rover]

well not exactly but it will make performance worse and may even cause issues

if you aren't locked into some isp crap, get one good router and if you want wifi, add access points

[lost fossil]

good thing cora asplained bc i was packing to the at that exact moment

[rapid lake]

Access points meaning

[snow rover]

a wifi router but it doesn't do router things

[rapid lake]

Like a repeater

Or whatever it’s called

[quaint helm]

mesh?

[rapid lake]

Ngl idk what our "router" even does here

[snow rover]

@lost fossil what is the current good version yt-dlp

[lost fossil]

access point meaning it takes traffic from your local network and broadcasts it wirelessly

instead of taking internet traffic from your isp and then broadcasting that along with the network traffic

[rapid lake]

There is a cable running from the ISP directly into what looks like a router (I can’t tell) with a bunch if LAN ports, and then our LAN cable as well as other subscribers is connected into one of said LAN ports, then that cable runs down to our "router" inside the house

[lost fossil]

it's been a hella long time since i donalded with ytdlp so i can't answer this

[rapid lake]

The ISP’s router or whatever it is is on the roof, and he has one on most nearby buildings

[snow rover]

then what is the current good youtube downloading tool

[toxic sentinel]

@rose sigil Ryzen 5 5600/Arc B580 or equivalent Nvidia/AMD

[lost fossil]

does ytdlp not work anymore?

[rapid lake]

[snow rover]

ion know there are so many 🍴 s of it

it probably does if i knew which one

[rapid lake]

So what’s this device that does that

[rapid lake]

And also

For added context

[snow rover]

unifi u7 or something

[lost fossil]

router in the general public understanding is internet box + wifi access point + Ethernet switch

access point is just an access point

[rose sigil]

[snow rover]

HOW

[lost fossil]

unless the official one at githuh/yt-dlp has been compromised, it's that one...

[rapid lake]

I heard the B580 was having issues with older CPUs or something a while ago is that still true

[toxic sentinel]

Yes, but it works with Ryzen 5 5600 quite well

As that's the system what I have

[rapid lake]

But is that issue irrelevant now

[toxic sentinel]

You need to have Resizable Bar enabled on BIOS though

[lost fossil]

probably clueless people cloning it and adding a very specific feature for their very specific needs

[rapid lake]

Or did they not manage to fix it with drivers

[toxic sentinel]

Not really as you need to have Resizable Bar support

[snow rover]

i'm glueless

i want a gui

[toxic sentinel]

There is going to be performance loss if you pair it with Ryzen 5 3600 still I think

[toxic sentinel]

I have manual overclock on my B580 though

[rapid lake]

What’s XeSS

[toxic sentinel]

Upscaled with XeSS

[quaint helm]

intel's dlss

[rapid lake]

Is it intel’s version of fake frames

[quaint helm]

indeed

[toxic sentinel]

Intel's DLSS

[snow rover]

intel's fake resolution

[rapid lake]

eh

[toxic sentinel]

It's just upscaler, but it has also frame gen if want to use that

[rapid lake]

What are the options for XeSS

[toxic sentinel]

It hits 60 without frame generation though

[rapid lake]

On 1440p?

[toxic sentinel]

I can get over 100 if I enable frame gen

[rapid lake]

That’s nice

How much is it

[toxic sentinel]

With balanced XeSS (balanced DLSS)

Anyone help me i am.unable to login steam i don't know what happened now i don't have access to steam mobile and I can't login with it and I am not receiving otp too on mobile number only my gmail otp is coming

[rose sigil]

i hate frame gen so much

[toxic sentinel]

I did pay 260€ for my B580 as I bought it used (practically new as it didn't work well with seller's system as it didn't have resizable bar)

[toxic sentinel]

To be fair even RTX 4070 and probably even 5070 can't run Cyberpunk 2077 native 1440p with Ultra ray tracing on playable frames

[quaint helm]

5070 > 4090

[toxic sentinel]

RTX 4070 can use Quality setting on DLSS and get 60fps though

While B580 has to settle on balanced XeSS

[quaint helm]

that price during the launch or after months?

[toxic sentinel]

I have also manual overclock though so it might bring couple of extra frames

B580 overclocks quite well above 3000mhz

[toxic sentinel]

Couple months after launch

[rapid lake]

5070 probably can

[toxic sentinel]

Maybe as it should have better ray tracing than 4070

[rapid lake]

Oh wait you said ultra rt

Nah I don’t think so

[toxic sentinel]

They're doing awesome job with Battlemage imo as generational leap since Alchemist is huge

I was checking some graphs that B580 even outperforms A770

And A770 had more cores etc.

[rose sigil]

even my 5070 ti can't 💔

50fps

[toxic sentinel]

Only caveat is probably that XeSS isn't as popular as DLSS/FSR and that Arc GPU don't work with systems without resizable bar that well as performance hit will be massive

And CPU needs to be decent to get most out of Arc

[toxic sentinel]

[rose sigil]

cyberpunk feels like it's running worse now than it did a few months ago last time i benchmarked it wtf

Begging, ban

[thin turtle]

Harassing a patron is against the rules

[civic cloud]

who tf made you a patron

You gotta stop changing your name and pfp every day

So confusing

[thin turtle]

Why

Do you know what the 4th ammendment is

[civic cloud]

I'm not american

[thin turtle]

Me neither

[civic cloud]

Why do you care about their laws then

[thin turtle]

Gauss you are such a smarty

[civic cloud]

aw thanks babe

You have bright moments as well xo

[thin turtle]

I'm just arguing for the sake of argument

[civic cloud]

That's silly

anyway gn

[thin turtle]

Bye

[civic cloud]

Bye

[snow rover]

nope

[steel sentinel]

if you like slideshows, sure

[vale latch]

Cable management and a couple of display figures is all thats left

[snow rover]

a monitor arm would be huge

not literally

figuratively

[quaint helm]

Wait for geforce now then

[toxic sentinel]

At least Nvidia drivers won't break chromium for a year like AMD drivers did back in series 6000 era

[snow rover]

nobody cares about chromium though

[toxic sentinel]

Most browsers use that engine though

Except Firefox

[snow rover]

bad browsers

[toxic sentinel]

idk Brave is pretty decent

These too

I buy both with cable

[upbeat spade]

huak tuah

i've never heard of this before

i mean eartip is eartip but like, if i'm getting eartips it's because something keeps falling out of my ear, not because it's purple

like i got sancai because the stock moondrop eartips made my ears hurt and i figured the sancai would relieve it, and it does

[thin turtle]

Did you just spit on his face

[quartz kayak]

My ears are fine

[civic cloud]

Lmao

At least I'm not the only one 🤝

[vale latch]

Im definitely getting one for my right side monitor when I get a 3rd one or else i would have no room for my mousepad

[proper sundial]

You'll have room for mousepad a monitor is not going to take that place you just have to keep it to the edge

[vale latch]

No i wont

[twin badger]

They never did that for me

[lost fossil]

get led strip channels to diffuse the light

[rapid lake]

I love when I have to add something to my order right as it gets sent out and now I have to pay delivery again

All because a different store said they had something in stock but then two days later apparently it’s out of stock

[proper sundial]

Here if you get grocery from Amazon you'll have time to add more stuff to your previous order(before it sent out)this is recently added also they made min. order price like $3

[rapid lake]

I had 36 hours, but the issue is that I trusted the other place to have what I needed

Now I gotta order it from a different place which doesn’t have free delivery

But for some reason this monitor seems to be out of stock in a lot of places, and I only found the one with white stand

[lost fossil]

why do you need the stand if it's going to be wall or desk mounted

[rapid lake]

I don’t

I didn’t imply that I did, I was just pointing out I could only find one and it was white

[lost fossil]

ah naruhodo

[rapid lake]

Either this monitor is discontinued or idk import fees for it have gone up

[civic cloud]

Oleg can't read

[lost fossil]

maybe

but this

and I only found the one with white stand
kinda sounds like he wants one with a black stand but the only available option has a white one

[rapid lake]

:well:

Yes I’d definitely want to have the black stand just in case

But I don’t care at this point tbh

This is where the setup will go

Unoptimal placement of the window we just built but eh

[lost fossil]

i saw some setups on the internet with the window behind the monitors and it can look comfy

[rapid lake]

Show

[proper sundial]

Cozy space

[rapid lake]

Btw what you see there is two thick electricity cables and right next to us (like 2 meters away) is the side of another building

Quite the view

[rapid lake]

Pros is that we don’t get too much sunlight, and no one can see inside

[rapid lake]

Where exactly is the window

[proper sundial]

Curtains you see behind the modem

[rapid lake]

Send the link while you’re at it

Pleae I’m lazy

[proper sundial]

My room is kinda like this only, left must be your door?

[rapid lake]

Nah the door is right behind me

[rapid lake]

To the left is (what used to be) a balcony shared with the kitchen

But we converted it to an extension of the kicthen

[proper sundial]

Oh my left is door attached to hall and behind is my cozy bed

Not so small not so big

This room is heaven in winters

[rapid lake]

I’m just glad the room gets some air now

[rapid lake]

My bed goes right there under the window but it’s disassembled rn

Right next to where the desk is gonna go, I like having something next to me to put stuff on it when I’m falling asleep

Like phone or the remote for the fan

[lost fossil]

i thought you'd be able to put the desk to the right of the window

[rapid lake]

Yeah that’s right

[proper sundial]

That'd not be good ig

[lost fossil]

oh shit he [going to be] just like me fr 📺 😭

[rapid lake]

The window looks small in the pic

[proper sundial]

Just put the desk under the window

[rapid lake]

It’s like 1.5 meters wide

[rapid lake]

The desk goes from the wall all the way to under the window (to the right bit)

And then next to it is the bed

[slow hare]

hello friends

[lost fossil]

i may be stupid

[proper sundial]

Oh so your bed and desk in the same side

[rapid lake]

Do you mean having the desk centered under the window?

Like right in the middle?

[lost fossil]

but i am not of understandment of how this is going to be

[rapid lake]

Ok lemme draw

[proper sundial]

No desk to the corner like mine

[lost fossil]

can u post an ultrawidelens shot of the room

[rapid lake]

Kind of

[lost fossil]

[rapid lake]

The desk is a bit wider that that

[rapid lake]

Yes

[rapid lake]

That’s how it’s gonna be I couldn’t get the idea across

[proper sundial]

Don't you think your bed is very small?

Oh your bed is going the camera way

I thought you're fitting the bed in that space horizontally

[rapid lake]

In a moment of peace I can look to the left out the window into the (not) lovely view and think "Wow, what a nice view"

[rapid lake]

Imagine

Dwarf bed

[proper sundial]

Yea

Haha

This is my room

[slow hare]

nah bro the desk will be bigger it cant be that small

[rapid lake]

Again the dimensions look smaller in the pic

[lost fossil]

use ```
and ```

[rapid lake]

The section that you see is 300 cm

[quaint helm]

nice 'drawing'

[rapid lake]

And the desk takes up 130

[lost fossil]

god damn that's a big ladder

[proper sundial]

It was ai

[proper sundial]

Thanks worked

[slow hare]

still if u keep that window closed all good goodies but if u opend it ,it will be problem

[slow hare]

dont lie to him

[proper sundial]

When did that wall came

I never told him to draw a wall

[rapid lake]

To the edge of the window from the right side is 110

20cm of the desk will be under the window only

[proper sundial]

You don't have space in the front(camera facing) cause there's door right?

If you had then you can put the bed just like me

[lost fossil]

need a shot from the hallway

[rapid lake]

Get some perspective

[rapid lake]

Yes

[lost fossil]

oh damn there's a lot of room left out

[rapid lake]

But again I like having bed next to the desk

[rapid lake]

Oh no

There’s another bed

[proper sundial]

But still on the left the bed will be not comfortable

[rapid lake]

How so

[proper sundial]

It'll be conjusted

[slow hare]

why u dont put ur desk on the other wall dont u think its good idea ?

[proper sundial]

Assuming your bed is at least 6 ft tall dude you'll cover the walking space

You're putting it vertically

[rapid lake]

What’s 6ft in real units

[proper sundial]

72 inch

A standard bed size

[rapid lake]

By tall you mean

[proper sundial]

6x6 bed but single bed is like 6x4 though

[proper sundial]

Yes

[rapid lake]

I don’t see the issue

What matters is how wide it is

And it’s 90cm

[proper sundial]

You're putting bed next to your almirah vertically?

[rapid lake]

90+130 that leaves me with 80 cm on the left

[charred otter]

W

[proper sundial]

I mean eating the space vertically

[rapid lake]

It’s always been like that

[charred otter]

This reminds i still gotta move my room around for the 8th time

[rapid lake]

I don’t think it would fit horizontally

Also

[proper sundial]

No, but don't you think walking space will get less?

[rapid lake]

It’s nice having the wall to my right and the bed to my left

Encapsulated

Cozy

[exotic patrol]

I agree

[rapid lake]

Nope

I can still walk around fine, I mean I’m not running marathons in my room

[proper sundial]

Yea that's cozy

[proper sundial]

Yes

This is mine

But there's no space behind bed And desk (right in the image)

Left to the desk is the gate

You close the gate you quit the world

[vagrant crown]

9ft x 9ft are you in prison?

[rapid lake]

Lol

[proper sundial]

Oh it's a reference

I didn't calculate

But yea it's not more than 10

[rapid lake]

Can’t you put the setup to the right side and the bed under window

Then you have more space overall

Looks a bit crammed

[proper sundial]

Like bed (my head rest under the window and leg facing down) ?

But left is gate

.

Only problem is the gate here

Look fine to me

You can use this

Seeing you got space on your left

Just put the bed left to the pc and attaching toward the wall

Also I've a L shaped setup too so where the bed in this picture is my second table

[civic cloud]

Staying in ur lane, moistured, happy, focused

[civic cloud]

Where tf is the entrance?

I'm so confused by the two drawings

[proper sundial]

Left

I mentioned gate is on left like 5 times pal

[civic cloud]

So you have to climb over your bed?

[proper sundial]

Now all 600k people know how I enter in my room and my gate is on left

[civic cloud]

Just add it to the drawing, pal

[proper sundial]

Oh this is not mine

[civic cloud]

Bro

[proper sundial]

This is mine

a smol desk on short legs , a big pillow and a blanket on the floor to comfortably decay in front of the tv

[quaint helm]

[lost fossil]

[thin turtle]

How big is the pillow

[lost fossil]

i know what kind of roast you prepared but no it's not that kind of pillow

[thin turtle]

I wasn't about to roast

[quaint helm]

bro is about to deep fried

[thin turtle]

I'm just asking out of curiosity

[proper sundial]

Give the link, I want to beat you so bad

[vale latch]

oo i gotta do that. i totally forgot to put that on the list of stuff i gotta do

[civic cloud]

Is the man cave a pillow fort for gooning?

[lost fossil]

this shitty pic is the best i could find

||no, i don't wear them||

[thin turtle]

I forgot

[proper sundial]

Cozy

[thin turtle]

Is that battery acid on the floor

[proper sundial]

Now you remember send

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

no it's ipa

[proper sundial]

Why you think it's battery acid

[lost fossil]

he's toxic just like acid

[proper sundial]

This much ipa?

[thin turtle]

Acid isn't toxic

[proper sundial]

Like 5l ipa for cleaning a cpu paste

[lost fossil]

enough to last until the end of time

[proper sundial]

Yea

[lost fossil]

or at least until the end of my time

[proper sundial]

I've 750 ml i think that's enough but I use it in plenty stuff though

[thin turtle]

I wanna clean the PC after I let you win

[proper sundial]

I am a small Grand Master from my town but that was 10 to 12 years ago

[thin turtle]

I'm a big grand master from your town

[proper sundial]

Let Queen and King decide

[civic cloud]

Wear what

[proper sundial]

The fluffy flip flops I wonder

[thin turtle]

[quaint helm]

u use discord on a tv? dam

and why tf is ur pc upside down lol , invert-sag?

[lost fossil]

including you, roughly n people saw my pc

and n of them asked why it's upside down

[lost fossil]

because if i lived in the flat across the hallway, my room would've been mirrored and my pc would've not been upside down

[rapid lake]

Because I thought it was your move

I literally wasted a whole minute thinking it's your turn

[rapid lake]

They’re here

New Monitor and dual stand

The two deivery drivers arrived within 5 minutes of each other

[quaint helm]

👏 now go build it

[rapid lake]

Really feels like a waste to pay delivery twice because of this shit

[rapid lake]

Still cleaning up

[rapid lake]

Not long ago I think

[lost fossil]

are u gonna keep those tiles in ur room or are u gonna replace them with quartz so that ur floor does not feel freezing cold all the time

[quaint helm]

man they have so much free time......previously they add like few useless series of 50series card , now changed the company font/logo💀

[rapid lake]

So

You see, a lot of things are not to my liking including those tiles

[quaint helm]

need cold floor ALLLL in one cooler

[rapid lake]

But I know it’s always gonna be like this until a move out

[lost fossil]

i see how it is

[rapid lake]

So I’m not gonna bother paying for those types of renovations or trying to convince my parents to do it

Changing tiles is costly

Besides we put carpets during winter

[civic cloud]

Yeah just slap a big comfy carpet down

[rapid lake]

And you know, I’m not living in Russia

[lost fossil]

it's just that these tiles reminded me of old soviet apartment buildings

[rapid lake]

So it don’t go below 10

[lost fossil]

no it's not that

[rapid lake]

I know what you mean

They do feel cold

[lost fossil]

it's bc these tiles conduct heat way better than quartz or laminate so they succ energy out of your feet which makes them feel cold

[civic cloud]

succing feet? They are living the dream of some people on this server

[rapid lake]

💀

[civic cloud]

Anyway, micro cement is the new hot trend in interior design

And it's very sexy

[rapid lake]

Good things come in small (micro) packages

[civic cloud]

Real wood is also great (but not the sealed variant Americans use)

Laminate feels kinda cold as well

[quaint helm]

more direct answer

[civic cloud]

Bro really just made a meme for this

[rapid lake]

Sometimes I hate my discord username

[quaint helm]

man is ready to send any meme anytime mememan

welp he have mememan emoji too

[lost fossil]

funny that u called me a mememan bc...

[quaint helm]

nah i mean by the emoji not u i read ur mind and ik theres an emoji called mememan

[lost fossil]

[vale latch]

Yall are not ready to see my old gpu cable

Thankfully i got some extensions today. Pc looking much cleaner. Before ajd after

[quaint helm]

not sure am i high or what i think ur anti-sag thing is quite high

[vale latch]

Its fine

[fickle finch]

4 fans to dissipate air out and 3 to take air in?

[vale latch]

The anti sag thing makes zero difference when i take out out so im just gonna keep it there

[fickle finch]

Why do you have that many fans if you have liquid cooling?

Maybe I'm not understanding

[rapid lake]

It turns out

The whole monitor is white not just the stand

So I’m gonna have some black and white going on

[vale latch]

U can never have too many fans. Also liquid cooling is technically worse

[fickle finch]

I thought liquid cooling is better because it cools down the heat much faser

[quaint helm]

[vale latch]

3 are intake, to get new air, 3 are exhaust to get rid of hot air. I cpukd technically remove one but no point

[vale latch]

Its more for looks

At least i was told air cooling is better. Could be wrong

[quaint helm]

iirc aio is better bcus the of the heat limit like max heat limit

[fickle finch]

Won't you need more power because you installed more fans

[quaint helm]

just a little

[fickle finch]

I see

Maybe better air flow the more the fans 🤷‍♂️

[vale latch]

Its miniscule

[quaint helm]

both have pros and cons , air cool : can use for years without worrying but the heat limit will be higher than aio
aio : cool cpu's heat a little faster but can last like 3-5years only bcus of the liquid

[lost fossil]

that's an average gpu cable

final result looks tho

[nova steppe]

All the fans look like they're exhaust, no?

[rapid lake]

The very humble desk

[quaint helm]

looks like 4 intake 3 exhaust

[rapid lake]

Mickey mouse sticker needs to go asap

[quaint helm]

I put the second monitor on the wrong side btw

This white one should go on the right

Gauss was right about these stands being insanely to adjust

I’m gonna guess it’s too nsfw to post here

[junior flax]

Is it worth upgrading to am5 from am4 currently?

Currently have a R5 5600x paired with a 4070 super

Tho i want an x3d chip as heard performance gains r good

[quaint helm]

9000 series yea sure

[junior flax]

Ye i was looking at 9800x3d

[civic cloud]

Wow the blue walls are certainly a choice

[civic cloud]

Wdym you even got the good ones? You should be able to loosen some nuts to make them move easier

[civic cloud]

Youre probably fine to upgrade to a 5800X3D and get on AM6 once it arrives

Or do you have a game where you're actually CPU bottlenecked?

[quaint helm]

i bet camm2 gonna be the main ram when am6 release frfr

[junior flax]

I’m not too sure tbf

[vale latch]

Front/side is intake. They are reverse blade fans

Extensions installed

[nova steppe]

Alright, them on the side being reverse blade was going to be my next question. Thanks 👍🏾

[rapid lake]

As you said it’s a pretty shit pic

[rapid lake]

I was like 3 when they got painted this colour

They went for a very "kid" design iykwim, even painted clouds on the ceiling

And put cloud stickers on the wall

And even the closets have a moon on them

Closet door handles are stars

You see where this was going

[civic cloud]

yeah its time for a renovation

nice that your parents cared that much

[rapid lake]

Yeah but definitely not touching them once everything aligns

[rapid lake]

Oh yeah they also got some stars that glow at night

Well, only for a little while before they started turning yellow

[rapid lake]

I explained to o🦵 that it’s not worth doing rn

When I’ll move out soon(ish)

[civic cloud]

when

to where

[rapid lake]

In 2-3 years

I know that seems like a long time but you also gotta consider my country has the tendency to become a warzone at any point rn

So the $800 or however much I’ve spent so far on the setup is even too much

But anyways, we found that routing the main ethernet cable to my room and placing the router there and then a wifi extender for the rest of the house is the better choice overall

No need to run meters of cable through tubes in the wall from one end of the house to the other

[civic cloud]

That's a big enough time frame to warrant a quick wall painting tbh

[civic cloud]

Yeah fair

[rapid lake]

Well

Just to get some clarity, what colour do you think I should go with, and how much would it cost to do

I’ve never tried painting a wall but I’m sure it’s not that hard

[twin badger]

Good luck getting one

Especially for a reasonable price

[civic cloud]

If you have no specific vision you're going for just do white

Maybe not 100% white, perhaps a lil off-white

[lost fossil]

once you go black, you nev... anyway, going with white is easier for the future if/when you change your mind

[civic cloud]

It's easy, you just maybe need to do two coatings if the current colour is dark

[quartz kayak]

Racisn

[civic cloud]

pls keep ur kinks to yourself oleg

[lost fossil]

i do, that's why you don't see me talking about them

[civic cloud]

[rapid lake]

I don’t like white

I just wanted to get your opinion but the first colour that came to mind was dark grey

Or dark blue

[civic cloud]

If you want to paint your walls in an actual colour, sure go for it

[rapid lake]

Though the rest of the room isn’t going to match and I’m not getting new bed and closets

[civic cloud]

But you want to have a matching set of furniture

Yes exactly

[rapid lake]

Which is why, I’ll just deal with this until I can start from scratch in my own place

Do things my way

[civic cloud]

🤝

It won't be perfect the first time

[rapid lake]

Yeah, that’s also true

But change is always nice so if I don’t like it I’ll just do something different

[exotic patrol]

what are we talking about again

[civic cloud]

Interior design

[exotic patrol]

Oh I see

[civic cloud]

@rapid lake look up "NTS never too small" on YouTube if you want to get some inspiration for small spaces

That's what gave me the idea to buy a Murphy bed for too much money

[lost fossil]

more like inferior design

[civic cloud]

cringe oleg

[rapid lake]

I’ll take a look

[civic cloud]

Go back to ur gooncave

[rapid lake]

I plan to do my masters in europe so I can see myself living in a studio at some point

[civic cloud]

Or a shared flat

[exotic patrol]

that'd be awesome

[civic cloud]

but roommates are a risk

So if you can afford a studio, go for thaz

[rapid lake]

If it’s someone I know yes

[civic cloud]

Yes get to know people and then move into a shared flat

[rapid lake]

Otherwise, I ain’t dealing with that headache

It’s gonna be either germany or france, since I already know French and I’m learning german

[rapid lake]

Probably yeah

[civic cloud]

For both, don't go into the biggest city, go to the medium sized ones

Much easier to find a place to stay

Like 150k-300k

[rapid lake]

That’s gonna depend on Uni

I’m not used to long distance commuting everyday to get to uni

[civic cloud]

Long commute doesn't have anything to do with the city size wdym

[rapid lake]

Well

The major Unis would be in bigger cities

[thin turtle]

I hate hybrid bicycles

Oh
