[thin turtle]

Sorry

[rapid lake]

Hybrid as in

Like assisted electric?

[thin turtle]

They use that motor thingy

[thin turtle]

Yeah

[rapid lake]

Agreed

[thin turtle]

So pointless

[civic cloud]

so? Nobody cares about what uni you went to, this isn't the US of A

[civic cloud]

Ever tried to cycle up a hill?

[thin turtle]

I have big thighs

[rapid lake]

I mean they’re fast and stuff but
The sudden power that it gives when I’m trying to turn slowly but need a bit of speed is

I rather have full control with electril throttle or just pedals

[thin turtle]

And expensive

[rapid lake]

You can rent them here

For like $40

A monrh

[rapid lake]

Mayhaps

[thin turtle]

Omg that's like half a bike price

[rapid lake]

It all depends on where I get a scholarship

[civic cloud]

Yes get the monies

[rapid lake]

Wtf kinda bike is $80

[thin turtle]

The good ones

[rapid lake]

That’s way too cheap

[thin turtle]

Why does it need to be higher

[civic cloud]

thats bare minimum, what are you on about

[rapid lake]

Good bikes are $500+

[civic cloud]

like even used shit ones are at that price

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

Minimum aluminium frame with disk brakes

[thin turtle]

What a disk brake

[rapid lake]

Like

Brake pads which press against a disk

As opposed to the rim of the bike

[thin turtle]

Is that gooder

I don't think these 80 dolla bicycles are aluminium frame. They heavy asl

[rapid lake]

Yes, rim brakes are usually impossible to align so they wear unevenly, and also have lesser contact area meaning less friction and less stopping power

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

Cheap mechanical disk brakes are bad but still better than rim brakes most of the time

[thin turtle]

But if the bike has multiple gear ratios, then climbing hills shouldn't be a big deal

Unless you're weak

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

Because the cheap ones have only one piston pushing against the disk, which then meets the other pad by flexing

As opposed to clamping onto the disk from both sides

[rapid lake]

Even cheap bikes have like 21 gears

[civic cloud]

My 1st gear is still quite fast, so driving up hills suuuuucks

[civic cloud]

I have 8 :D

[thin turtle]

Weak

[thin turtle]

Weak

[rapid lake]

Good bikes have 8

[civic cloud]

Thanks 😎

[rapid lake]

Because they don’t have multiple chainrings

[thin turtle]

Idk maybe you use a bicycle for commute

I use it for exercise

[thin turtle]

I must consult you when I buy a new bicycle

[rapid lake]

I use it for… wait I never use mine

[rapid lake]

Consult Berm Peak on youtube

I just had a phase where I heavily got into bicycles, but then I got a motorcycle

[civic cloud]

Same at least Not since I moved flats and office

[rapid lake]

So now riding a bicycle feels meh

[civic cloud]

I need to pump up the tyres

Then I could use it to drive to the gym

But it's a 20min walk

so

Might as well walk

[civic cloud]

Bad boi

[rapid lake]

If it’s flat

Use bike

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

Bike go wee

[civic cloud]

It's as flat as Oleg's mom

[thin turtle]

[civic cloud]

Yeah but I sit all day so actually walking feels better

[rapid lake]

Relatable

I should try walking more often

[thin turtle]

Don't sit

Put the pedal to the metal

Unless there's a speed limit

[rapid lake]

Man

PS4 controllers are still $60

The whole thing sells for $200

[thin turtle]

I always go top speed in me bicycle

Until my legs give up

[thin turtle]

They're not outdated tbh

[rapid lake]

Top speed? What’s that 30 km/h?

[thin turtle]

And ps5 controllers are like 70

[civic cloud]

I don't think the bus driver will like it when I disturb him

[rapid lake]

Wait so @civic cloud

[thin turtle]

You don't have bike lanes?

[rapid lake]

What did you mean with cheap monitor arms being bad and hard to adjust

Because this one was pretty cheap if I do say so myself

It’s cheaper than a good single stand

[civic cloud]

These are the shit ones and they are annoying to adjust once the monitors are on

[rapid lake]

What the fuck is that

[civic cloud]

The cheap ones

Was like 40

[rapid lake]

This one was $36

Get rekt

[civic cloud]

The spring loaded ones like you have are like 120

[civic cloud]

Wtf

[rapid lake]

It’s

A gas spring

[civic cloud]

How is it that cheap

[thin turtle]

🇨🇳

[rapid lake]

NB

North Bayou

[thin turtle]

What

[rapid lake]

The brand

[civic cloud]

No name stuff

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

NB F160

They have a triple one too for like $50

[civic cloud]

Ok it's 26€ on aliexpress

Crazy

[rapid lake]

Damn

Yeah I think that’s the exact same one, but there are different F160s too

[thin turtle]

Why does one need a monitor stand

[rapid lake]

I’d say I got robbed but getting it from AliExpress would cost way more with shipp

ing

[rapid lake]

More desk space, also looks cleaner

[thin turtle]

Will it not be on top of the table anyway?

[rapid lake]

It doesn’t touch the table

I mean the stand does

[civic cloud]

Because the stand that comes with the monitor takes up lots of space on your desk??

[rapid lake]

But it only rakes up like

[thin turtle]

It doesn't

[civic cloud]

Yes it fucking does

[rapid lake]

Barely any space

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

Depends

If he has the V stands it does

But the square ones don’t

Those ones are also really bad

[civic cloud]

The square ones are ugly

[thin turtle]

I havd a disk stand

[rapid lake]

And wobble

[civic cloud]

Fym

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

What’s that

[thin turtle]

Heavy disk and the monitor mount on top

[rapid lake]

Lumbago setup reveal when

[thin turtle]

[rapid lake]

Because I can’t picture what you’re saying

[thin turtle]

Something like this

It doesn't wobble

Whatever you mean

[civic cloud]

had literally mentioned those

why is your desk so deep

is that 1m deep

have you considered turning your pc 90° to get more mouse space

[thin turtle]

This is not what it looks like today

Matter of fact I don't even have a monitor

[void turret]

Is this yours

[thin turtle]

[thin turtle]

90 as in it blows hot air on the display

They get damaged yk

[rapid lake]

I like that keyboard

[thin turtle]

Yes and no

[void turret]

Why your rgb is so bright

[rapid lake]

But yeah that do be a pretty deep desk

[thin turtle]

I like yours too

[rapid lake]

Kinda small though

[civic cloud]

your PC exhaust air is like 40C, chill

[rapid lake]

In terms of length

[thin turtle]

This is my pc now

[civic cloud]

definitely average

[rapid lake]

You said you were getting a new keyboard why

[thin turtle]

The gpu still rgbing

[thin turtle]

It had dead buttons

But I figured the only work on a certain angle

[rapid lake]

What the pen doing

[thin turtle]

Buys me some time

[rapid lake]

Interesting

Idk if I’d go from that to my keyboard though

Mine is not RGB and it’s… cheap

[thin turtle]

djmeg recommendations

[lost fossil]

motivated me to clean my room thank you

[thin turtle]

Your pillow probably

[rapid lake]

Wow we got a top taskbar guy

[thin turtle]

It's 50cm

[rapid lake]

But yeah nice setup

Very clean

[rapid lake]

Ain’t no way

How deep is your case?

[thin turtle]

Wait lemme get the tape

[rapid lake]

I see what you meant with wall mounting now

[lost fossil]

these days i don't tell everyone to wall mount their monitors bc i realized that some people live in places where walls are made of cardboard so they might not be able to support the weight of a monitor

[thin turtle]

66 cm

The case is 38

[lost fossil]

ok why is your desk so narrow

[thin turtle]

In what sense

[lost fossil]

in this sense ↔️

[thin turtle]

Oh

I didn't really buy this

It just spawned in my room

[lost fossil]

are you renting that desk

[rapid lake]

Two slight problems, the wall here is kind of hollow in some places because of the way the stones are, and second is that I may change my mind at any point about the formation of the room

Like the bit where the stone is hollow

We ran into that issue while mounting the… closet or whatever you wanna call it that’s above the desk

There

[thin turtle]

So basically a costumer gave my brother this desk for "adjustments". Then they refused to pay the cost. Now they're demanding my brother to sell it for them and I'm taking advantage of the situation

[lost fossil]

costumer

[void turret]

Cupboard?

[rapid lake]

Lol

[rapid lake]

Yeah that’s what it’s called I think

[thin turtle]

Well it's one of these people who just try to find an excuse to throw things away

[rapid lake]

Cupboard, except it contains no cups

[void turret]

Yeah, some english words are funny

[rapid lake]

True Arab customer

[thin turtle]

I adopted the desk and the costumer was never heard of

[rapid lake]

Arab dad mindset

[thin turtle]

This looks nice

[rapid lake]

It’s alright

The wood is really bad and like 30+ years old at this point

[thin turtle]

It's from the closet right

[rapid lake]

What I really didn’t like is that the desk’s feet are in line with the top

Instead of the top sort of protruding

Same thing with the back, so I asked for a cutout so I can mount the monitor arm

Also run the cables through it

[rapid lake]

We used the old wood yeah

I don’t have a picture but just picture the "cupboard" but with a desk of the same length and depth, then one big drawer and the base of the whole thing

[rapid lake]

This is what I mean

The top should extend beyond the feet

That desk is about $300

I could just but a new one in the (near) future

Oak wood

Wtf desks are actually kinda cheap

This one is expensive in comparison to other ones

[pearl notch]

What’s a good pre built pc I could get since my ex took my 900 pc

[rapid lake]

https://tenor.com/view/hold-up-hold-up-meme-fallout-meme-gif-3737350009659669155

[rapid lake]

The one you had

[pearl notch]

Trust Ik what you about to say

[nova steppe]

I heard the top tier Alienware is good ||for wasting your money||

[rapid lake]

It’s already built

So it’s prebuilt

Just get it back

[pearl notch]

I built mine I just don’t wanna do it again rn I’m in the middle of building one car and buying another

[rapid lake]

I think NZXT has custom prebuilts

Not sure

[nova steppe]

does building the car only take a few hours to build like the PC will?

[nova steppe]

They do, but idk if they've changed over the last few years...

[pearl notch]

No but it eats 3x the amount of money

[thin turtle]

Buy a prebuilt that's not from a brand

[pearl notch]

I just never looked into pre builds so idk what company to go with

[rapid lake]

Maybe check out a local tech shop?

[thin turtle]

Like your local Walmart or something

[nova steppe]

so temporarily have the car take 0x of the money so the computer can be obtained

[pearl notch]

Deadass?

[rapid lake]

There’s also ZTT if you’re in the US but

[thin turtle]

Yes

[rapid lake]

Hella overpriced imo

[pearl notch]

Currently the car is taking all of my money

[thin turtle]

Nothing special about brands

[pearl notch]

Plus buying another isn’t cheap

[thin turtle]

You might aswell buy parts and let someone build it for you

[nova steppe]

so temporarily have the car take 0x of the money

[pearl notch]

All I really wanna play is siege division 2 cs2 and tarkov so if I Walmart pc can run all dat im good with that

[thin turtle]

Just make sure they're compatible

[thin turtle]

Idk if Walmart do prebuilt PCs tbh xD

But you get the idea

It doesn't need to be from a certain brand

[pearl notch]

You can’t read huh I’m also purchasing a car plus I have about 7000 in parts otw for my first build I don’t have time to sit down and build a pc I barley have time to game rn

[thin turtle]

Just good parts

[pearl notch]

Bet

[nova steppe]

you never said you spent the money, so I assumed you were going to spend money, so I was saying to not buy anything for the car in the short term.

[pearl notch]

I gathered what you mean I don’t need anything fancy just make sure the specs are good easy enough

[thin turtle]

Just share with us what you find and we will happily help

[thin turtle]

Yeah

[pearl notch]

Car always comes first both of them are dream cars gaming is something I’ve done since I was young so I still enjoy it but my cars will always come first

[nova steppe]

okay

[pearl notch]

Ion need no 4090 to run basic shit like I want to right

[thin turtle]

Yeah

[pearl notch]

Ye I do or no I don’t

[thin turtle]

If you wanna play only shooter games then you won't need more than a 4060 ti or equivalent

You invest more in the CPU for that matter

[pearl notch]

Ye my last pc was a 3090 but lagged when I played for long periods of time

[thin turtle]

Why so

[nova steppe]

never checked temps?

[thin turtle]

Yeah it might be overheating

A 3090 is yum 😋

Sad it's gone

[pearl notch]

I was gonna say probably over heating issues but since she took it I haven’t really worried with pc gaming just miss mnk tbh but most console shooters have ban them

[thin turtle]

What resolution is your display though

[thin turtle]

Yeah

It's someone else's problem now

[pearl notch]

Facts her sons 😂😂

[rapid lake]

It’s someone else’s problem now

[thin turtle]

@pearl notch you wanna play shooters at 4k?

Or like 1440p?

[rapid lake]

I think bro just wants to play

[thin turtle]

I'd recommend a 5070Ti or 9070XT for that

Whichever cheaper

[rapid lake]

5070ti is like $800

[thin turtle]

Then get a ryzen x3d cpu

[thin turtle]

How much for a 9070xt

[rapid lake]

Haven’t seen one here

[thin turtle]

The guy had a 3090

He can definitely afford something like 1.5k build

[rapid lake]

How does the 5070ti compare to 3090

[thin turtle]

Better

[rapid lake]

Without dlss

[thin turtle]

Yes

Or equivalent idk

[pearl notch]

Honest idc I have epilepsy so I wouldn’t be playing for long periods anymore so 4k would probably work

[rapid lake]

Can you like

Tell these fine people what your budget is

[thin turtle]

That's a fine idea mister

[rapid lake]

https://tenor.com/view/arthur-morgan-arthur-rdr-2-dancing-vibing-gif-13519536361487634834

[thin turtle]

[pearl notch]

Idk probably anywhere from 400-700

Rather stay on the 400-500 end but I’ll do what I can

[thin turtle]

Then you can't afford a 4k capable buid I'm afraid

500 will get you something on the budget builds

[rapid lake]

Did you consider used

At least for the GPU

[thin turtle]

Yeah might work

[pearl notch]

I’m considering any and every option

I’m not against a used pc as long as it wasn’t treated like dog shit

Sorry for the deplayed reply’s I’m still at work

[nova steppe]

[pearl notch]

If I was 16 again I’d probably consider that too 😂😂😂

[thin turtle]

Buy the pc from your ex

Then add some proper fans

[pearl notch]

Fuck no

[thin turtle]

[pearl notch]

She can burn for all I care

[thin turtle]

It's just business

[rapid lake]

@pearl notch let’s not use that language

[pearl notch]

Fair

[thin turtle]

Didn't know it was like that sorry

[pearl notch]

Like I said my budget can go up to about 700 but anything higher I’d just build one

[thin turtle]

I think you should buy one that's cheap enough and has upgrade path

[pearl notch]

Ye I was just really looking to see if you guys knew any good companies

[thin turtle]

There's only 2

When it comes to gpu

Well 3

And 2 in cpu market

For a cpu + motherboard make sure it is AM5 socket

And for gpu anything goes really

Just make sure it has a good price to performance value

Or something cheap to start

Then you may upgrade some time later

[pearl notch]

Ok bet

[thin turtle]

Just try to meet this checklist and you'll be in a good shape to comfortably upgrade your build.

• a big and vacant case
• a Bxxx AM5 motherboard with any AM5 cpu really.
• a good powersupply which is capable of supporting your future system

The Bxxx is for motherboard name

It is usually B850 or something like that

[pearl notch]

Say less

I appreciate the help guys 😅 hopefully I’ll be able to build a bigger and better pc in the future once I’ve finished my mk3 Supra and my c5 corvette

[thin turtle]

Yeah there's no need to rush

[pearl notch]

Nah gaming ain’t going anywhere as long as time doesn’t fuck me up I should be able to build a monster by 2027

[thin turtle]

Do your research and take your time then

[pearl notch]

Honestly I might just get a decent monitor and hook my Xbox to it for now I’m tired of playing on my flat screen

[thin turtle]

[void turret]

Welcome to the better side

[rapid lake]

Men

@thin turtle @civic cloud @lost fossil

I really want the right monitor to be more angled to face me but it’s a pain trying to get it to be like that

[snow rover]

[rapid lake]

What do we think so far

[snow rover]

the desk is so depressing

[rapid lake]

The deks itself or because of the stuff that’s on it

[lost fossil]

is this possible

[civic cloud]

Looks fine to me

[snow rover]

the deks itself

[rapid lake]

Or lackthereif

[civic cloud]

I've started to enjoy the 2nd monitor being vertical

[rapid lake]

Yeah fair

[civic cloud]

Have you tried a vertical orientation?

[lost fossil]

agree, especially considering that it's not the same size anyway

[civic cloud]

And because the desk isn't very wide

[rapid lake]

Explain

[lost fossil]

works better for discord too when there's so much wasted space when it's in landscape mode

[civic cloud]

Eggsactly

[lost fossil]

you currently have both arms angled to the right

what if you rotate the left one to the left

[rapid lake]

I haven’t tested it practically, I don’t yet have the PC in here

But I don’t like how it looks

And how I’d need to look up to read stuff or whatever…

Also I will be using the second monitor mainly for youtube

So vertical would be

[civic cloud]

Give it a try

With vertical you can have YT and discord open

Horizontal, nuh uh

[rapid lake]

You think I should move the whole thing to the right?

I want the right monitor to basically touch the wall

I can move the whole clamp to the right 10 cm

[lost fossil]

fym

[civic cloud]

I hate that

Ewwww task bar at the top

[lost fossil]

i feel like with the way you have it right now, the arm sticks out behind the desk a bit too far

[civic cloud]

This only works cuz you don't have the user list open

[lost fossil]

if you rotate the left one to the left, you could "flatten" it if that makes sense

[lost fossil]

do i really need to see a bunch of people named !

[rapid lake]

True

[rapid lake]

This

So yes I should move the whole thing to the right

Otherwise I’ll have have to move both monitors to the left leaving a gap on the right

[lost fossil]

also idk if that's what you're going for but your monitors look like they're a bit too high off the desk

[civic cloud]

yes ! You must see when I'm online to say hi to me :)

[civic cloud]

True, top of the monitor should be slightly above eye level at most

[lost fossil]

yeah and they need to be lower then you won't be able to do that with both arms turned in the same direction

also... that's a really damn thin bezel wth

[thin turtle]

lovely

where the pc at

[civic cloud]

Not there yet

Keep up

[nova steppe]

my curved monitor has the thinnest bezels out of the rest

[thin turtle]

[civic cloud]

Are we comparing sizes now

Nvm edited

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

@civic cloud

[rapid lake]

Well

I’m tall

How about this

Idk if it’s best to have the difference in height at the top or the bottom

[lost fossil]

that's a lot of space between the wall and the desk

[rapid lake]

Because they’re different sizes

[rapid lake]

There has to be some space

Maybe this is too much yeah

[lost fossil]

2cm is enough

[rapid lake]

Impossible

The monitors would take up too much of the desk like that

Actually

[lost fossil]

that's why you angle your monitor arms like ✌️, the first half, that is, and then you fiddle with the second half of each arm to bring the monitors to where they need to be

[rapid lake]

?

[lost fossil]

the way it looks rn is that they go into the wall basically head on and then do a near 90 degree turn

[lost fossil]

yes

[rapid lake]

This what you mean

Alright

Now I adjust them to line up?

[lost fossil]

yes

[rapid lake]

Ok lemme tighten that joint

[lost fossil]

i used to have a 27 next to a 24 at work and imo it looks better when they line up at the top

[rapid lake]

I’ll try

Bare in kind the 27inch is curved

And has wider bezel

So

[lost fossil]

i just realized that i made a mistake when assuming how a double arm mount works

[rapid lake]

I just

Can’t get the left (main) monitor to come close

[civic cloud]

What are you trying to tell me here sir

[rapid lake]

To the other one

[lost fossil]

did you do it like this?

[rapid lake]

Either I have to move the right one off the wall

[lost fossil]

see if something like this works

[civic cloud]

ngl this would have been easier with the shit monitor arm I have

[lost fossil]

ngl this would have been easier with a cheap 15 inch tv mount for the main monitor

and basically any other arm of any kind for the second one

[civic cloud]

Wall mounting is weird

[rapid lake]

Oleg is weird

Adds up

[lost fossil]

idk, now that i'm thinking about the options you have with a double monitor arm, i feel like you signed up for a headache when getting that instead of two separate ones

[echo mural]

I like the wall color

[rapid lake]

That’s the best I can do

[rapid lake]

Ty

I like your role colour

[lost fossil]

kinda looks like u were able to bringthe desk a bit closer to the wall

[civic cloud]

But it's so far away from the right wall now

Yo did you build a PC holder like me? Just full wood?

[lost fossil]

looks like there's room to rotate this a bit to bring it closer to the wall

[civic cloud]

But then it isn't angled anymore

[lost fossil]

does it need to be angled that much?

[civic cloud]

Yes

[rapid lake]

Quick question

[lost fossil]

then he could move the arm mount to the right a bit

[rapid lake]

I did do that

What you guys see doesn’t exactly translate to what I can do

Because yes the arms are weird

They don’t have as much mobility as you think

[lost fossil]

need a pic from directly above the desk, some behind the scenes

[rapid lake]

I don’t have DP cable yet so can I temporarily use the mobo hdmi

[lost fossil]

every graphics card (or at least the vast majority) has at least one hdmi

[civic cloud]

You can use mobo HDMI, but then you will be using the integrated gpu

[civic cloud]

I have 3xhdmi and 3xdp :3

[lost fossil]

integrated gpu
didn't had get a faulty cpu? i mean with the f index

faulty or fucked, either works

[pearl notch]

Eh

[rapid lake]

It has one

And yes I have no iGPU

I was gonna get a DP anyways but I wanted to test what it looks like today

Gonna have to calibrate colours all over again

Also the idea I copied from gauss to hang the PC from the desk

Well the woodworker screwed up the dimensions and made it way too tight of a fit, I can barely press the power button and can’t fit any cables or anything or press buttons on the front IO

So imma just put the case on the desk behind the monitor

Hide all the cables

[thin turtle]

[thin turtle]

you could modify that

[rapid lake]

I don’t have any wood left and I cba

Looks bad anyways

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

[rapid lake]

[lost fossil]

the hell

was he sober?

[rapid lake]

Probably not

[rapid lake]

Oh I didn’t see this

[thin turtle]

can you not remove this?

[rapid lake]

Well

[thin turtle]

and what will you do about airflow

[rapid lake]

That part is screwed into the desk

And connected to the sides

[rapid lake]

I will just put the PC on the desk where it belongs

Gauss and his weird ideas smh

Never copying gauss again

[thin turtle]

gauss has a whole water cooled system

[rapid lake]

God damn there are more cables than I thought

[thin turtle]

and lives in germany

[rapid lake]

Cable management is gonna be fun

[lost fossil]

you can replace it with the 90 degree what're they called

[thin turtle]

you live in the middle east

it gets hot

[rapid lake]

I could but still the whole thing is suboptimal

[thin turtle]

hinges

[rapid lake]

We call them elbows

[lost fossil]

somewhat ironically, it's the middle west where it is hot currently

[thin turtle]

isn't that the pipe

[lost fossil]

middle east - eurasia
middle west - europe

🗺️

[rapid lake]

I could move the monitor arm to the left and then you’d be able to see the case

On the desk

But, I don’t even care that much about the aesthetics of the case itself

In fact I don’t like RGB

[lost fossil]

i wouldn't put it on the desk when the desk is smol like yours

[rapid lake]

Small

In terms of

[lost fossil]

length

[rapid lake]

It’s 130cm

Is that small

[lost fossil]

it is

[rapid lake]

Damn

Time to get new desk

[thin turtle]

unrealistic standards

[lost fossil]

my desk is 156cm i think and you'd think that 26cm is not that much but i can see that two monitors and a pc would not comfortably fit on your desk

[rapid lake]

What can you expect from the wall mounter

[lost fossil]

the mousepad is 120

[civic arch]

why is keyboard on that side

[quaint helm]

Maybe just for the picture

[rapid lake]

You don’t think it can fit there

[lost fossil]

that's not the real keyboard

[rapid lake]

Behind the monitor

[civic arch]

do you put the monitor closer

when u game

[lost fossil]

no

unless you're fine with the left monitor hanging off the side of the desk

[civic arch]

that does not look comfy to look at

[lost fossil]

it is comfy af

[rapid lake]

Not even tilted slightly to the side?

The case I mean

It’s either that or I move the whole arm

[civic arch]

i find its easier to look at a monitor thats tilted

[rapid lake]

Back to square one

[lost fossil]

i mean, it could work, after all it turned out that your room is much bigger than it looks on photos

give it a try

Things do look smaller on camera

[nova steppe]

But who gave the woodworker the dimensions?

[rapid lake]

I gave him the dimensions of the case

And told him to add about 5cm leeway on each side

Clearly that isn’t 5

Or even 2

Maybe not 1

Now what do I need for cable management

Zipties?

[thin turtle]

[lost fossil]

it is probably and most likely, but in order for my monitors to be neatly "connected" with each other, they need to be perpendicular to the desk

[rapid lake]

Magnetic monitors when

Snap them together

[lost fossil]

a lot of them

[rapid lake]

What if I need to take out a cable

[lost fossil]

you plan ahead so that you don't need to

[rapid lake]

Is it such a bad idea to not cable manage the first week

[nova steppe]

i got this roll of velcro that's about an inch wide, and I just use a razor blade to cut it into strips for "custom" cable ties

[rapid lake]

Until I know I’m not moving any cables

[rapid lake]

Damn that’s awesome

[nova steppe]

there are reusable zipties, I use them, myself, but they are larger to allow for the release mechanism

[rapid lake]

All zipties are reusable funnily enough

You just need to uh

[nova steppe]

yeah, just a different amount of effort

[rapid lake]

Yes

Velcro tends to get dirty

Especially with a window behind

[nova steppe]

naaaah, it's not an issue

[rapid lake]

I’ll see what I can find

[rapid lake]

All on sale wow

[lost fossil]

but i do have some actual authentic legit velcro ones, too

[rapid lake]

Would’ve been useful to save all those velcro straps you get with cables

The latest one I have from the mouse still

[quaint helm]

How much in dollars avg

[lost fossil]

idk like 2.5

[quaint helm]

Seems pretty cheap

[snow rover]

i just bought a 100 pack of not velcro® ties

they're p good

Not velcro

So just regular zipties

[rapid lake]

So that’s how much these normal cost

I haven’t bought an HDMI cable in

Actually I’ve never had to buy one

[quaint helm]

my country some online shop sell it for like 3-5$ ugreen for like 7$

[rapid lake]

I realised this is before tax too

So it’s $10

[rapid lake]

Is it safe to assume all DP cables support 144hz at 1080p

[thin turtle]

Get DP 1.4 or whatever the newest thing is

[exotic patrol]

o and reo has the answer

[thin turtle]

And yes DP supports higher bandwidth than hdmi, generally

[lost fossil]

these days you'd be hard pressed to find a displayport 1.0 cable so generally speaking any should work for 1080 144

[thin turtle]

But both are good for 1080p

[thin turtle]

Why

I find them everywhere

u can use these vapes to charge lithium batteries

but i have another one in the cart https://aliexpress.com/item/1005007964047875.html

is it because vapes are so toxic that their steam can be used to energize lithium

This looks like an easy question until I figure out what a lagrang is

[lost fossil]

it all looks easy until they start adding letters...

[thin turtle]

It's not hard really

[young garden]

too many tryhards on math, they added the letters update

[thin turtle]

But I don't remember the formulas

I'm in summer break

[thin turtle]

I can't find these

[thin turtle]

But what's a lagrange

[lost fossil]

y'all taking this seriously and all i see is

||||

[thin turtle]

Nyx

[civic cloud]

Step 1: set a coordinates y/x (already done here)
Step 2: determine how many free movements this system can make (max is 3 translation and 3 rotation)
Step 3: give coordinates of the center of mass with generalized coordinates
Step 4: do d/dt for the things in step 3
Step 5: calculate kinetic (translation and rotation) and potential energy of all masses
Step 6: L=T-V, tidy it up
Step 7: do d/dt (dL/dr')-dL/dr'
Step 8: tidy that up and you're done 🤝

this is the solution

[thin turtle]

So there's one variable remaining

I was right

[civic cloud]

Yes it's your free movement variable from step 2

This is an easy example because you only have one free movement

[thin turtle]

Yeah

I kinda understand what this is about

Round 1 of cable management

The Ugreen cables looks cool but ngl most of them are way too long (2-3 meters) which would be a pain for cable management and they’re $20-30

I didn’t manage to match the colours of the two monitors unfortunately

Looks a lot worse on camera though

[lost fossil]

i don't recommend angling the 2 monitor this much

i used to have it angled in a similar way and it gets dansgusting after a while

[quaint helm]

that way the white monitor angle at is quite awkward lol

[lost fossil]

have u considered swapping the two monitors around and having your secondary monitor on the left?

[rapid lake]

It’s aight now

Might tweak a bit later but rn I don’t need it anyways

Couldn’t find reusable zipties or velcro nearby

So I’ll probably have to order them from somewhere, but I can’t see the cables from here after a little bit of work so that’s good enough

Just the main hdmi + power cable and the keyboard which is wireless anyways

How do I get the windows I open to open on the monitor that I open them from

[lost fossil]

i had to use a 3rd party program for that

[rapid lake]

ah yes of course

[nova steppe]

If it makes it any better, the shortcut to move programs to other monitors is Shift+Win+Left(or)Right Arrow Key

Moving it with the mouse is probably faster

[lost fossil]

i agree but it is what it is

[civic cloud]

[lost fossil]

i was thinking he could move the white monitor to the left, making it hang off the desk

which would put his main monitor in a really good spot and also give a lot of room for his left hand (currently i don't see a lot of it)

just treat it like a laptop lid, you "open" it when you're on your PC, and push it back out of the way when you go to bed. If you leave your PC on and the display is on, it'll keep most of its light away from you that way, as well

I'm assuming the PC on the desk is temporary until the desk is adjusted to fit the PC, unless I missed the convo (and there were a few) where it was said that wasn't going to happen.

wait really

[wispy mesa]

yes

[lost fossil]

[junior flax]

To specify it’ll mostly be used like 90% for media

Maybe roblox when my girl wants to play on my xbox when round 😭

[lost fossil]

anyway, even tho it's going to be used primarily for media, you should still see if there are available options in your budget that have a 120hz screen

[junior flax]

Could stretch to this?

uhh

'2gb ram ULTRA FAST" 🫣

[mystic solar]

It’s a projector, not a pc

It don’t need 32GB of ram

The one I currently use is some pos mini projector that was initially a Halloween decoration so I think it’s time to upgrade

Plus it’s too big and takes up a lot of room and weighs quite a bit which can be an issue especially with airplanes luggage weight limits so this would be better hopefully

[vagrant crown]

2gb ram is still dead for something like that as it’s not just a projector it’s hosting the apps natively

[high delta]

you could argue that it is, "Pre installed Apps"

[vagrant crown]

Even firesticks have like 3gb nowadays iirc

[high delta]

would be a different thing if it was purely a projector where you simply plug in a hdmi

[civic cloud]

Omg I had that video a while ago as well

[mystic solar]

I’m not using the native apps lmfao I’m using the HDMI slot with another device that supports SD cards, Micro SD cards, USBs, and hard drives

[vagrant crown]

Better off just buying a plain projector though

[mystic solar]

I have said it needs to be small and portable though it cannot be big and bulky as I need it to be able to fit in a carry on bag with other valuables
