[quaint helm]

bend above is a crime tbh

[quaint helm]

those aftermarket cable?

[sharp coyote]

Corsair has
Cablemod has

[quaint helm]

i see cablemod

How can i set up my router to use a vpn?

[cold elbow]

Vpn provider should give you some details that you plug in the router

[fickle finch]

Anyone setup a pfsense at home

[muted mantle]

due to most mid- to high-end keyboards being 60% or a similiar form factor, i think getting a macropad or an external ten-key would be the best choice i can make so i wont be hindered by the lack of additional keys

what macropad would you recommend? or do i make one at home?

[lost fossil]

@muted mantle

[muted mantle]

looks good, too bad its on aliexpress

shipping and handling is gonna cost twice the amount of the product itself

[lost fossil]

look up sayodevice

[muted mantle]

i play both osu and gd, i know what a sayodevice is

[lost fossil]

damn

[muted mantle]

the problem there is that it has only three keys

yeah, programmable, but not a replacement to tenkeys

as a matter of fact, i own a sayodevice
its really good, even when i dont use it for its ”intended purpose” i can bind macros to it and use it as a traditional macropad

[lost fossil]

well the tool used to reprogram my pad which is the same as that one from aliexpress is called sayobot

[muted mantle]

yeah it works because umm uhh idk same principle more keys?

[lost fossil]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TPF4B8W this looks identical to that one from aliexpress

and in customer also viewed there are different-size suggestions also

[muted mantle]

thats cool

[rapid lake]

Are there really no good keyboards that are full size

Can you afford a custom one perhaps

I mean that’d be two birds one stone, custom keyboards are really cool

[snow rover]

chat i have finally decided on a monitor and bought one

it only took like 2? years

[cold elbow]

-Buys a n expensive keyboard
-Realize it doesn't have enough keys
-Buys another keyboard
-Realize it doesn't have enough keys
-buys another keyboard

Just buy a full keyboard with media and macro keys

[cold elbow]

A better monitor will release next month

[snow rover]

so true babe

it is what it is

when is ces 2026

soon

i can regret my purchase in a week

[cold elbow]

[rapid lake]

Some company made a 1080hz monitor…. at 720p

Cringe

This lowkey looks cool

It looks kinda cheap, but cool

Almost like the Xbox

[quaint helm]

[rapid lake]

HKC ANT275PQ MAX, that offers extreme smoothness but typically at lower resolutions (like 720p) or dual-mode (540Hz at 1440p)

540 at 1440p is still pretty impressive

[quaint helm]

oled? 🤓

[rapid lake]

I don’t think so ngl

[snow rover]

it is oled

[cold elbow]

Nice mini fridge

[snow rover]

oh nvm that one is actually ips

but there are oleds that are 540 hz at 1440p and 720 hz and 720p

[cold elbow]

Human eye cant see beyond 2000hz

[quaint helm]

rmb u will blink ur eyes , 1/4 of the hz gone too

[quaint helm]

why no 1080 tho

[civic cloud]

[quaint helm]

4299 u only get 5080 might be some low tier 5080s

[civic cloud]

Well 1k of that is the RAM

[civic cloud]

540 Hz 1440p Monitor and my trusty GTX 1060 😎

[muted mantle]

i mean sure, but i think that would still be limited to 60% to tenkeyless as i really havent seen any full-sized casings available

but true, custom keyboards are really fucking cool

[snow rover]

https://deltakeyco.com/products/pre-order-vertex-intro-s100

they exist

[lost fossil]

what is this distro block

[quartz kayak]

What in the xbox series x

[civic cloud]

i thought its a phone for a second

[mystic solar]

Lemme get this right, you want +1,200$ for a FAKE iPhone?!?..

Your fckn insane in the membrane

[lost fossil]

did u buy it tho?

[quaint helm]

ifone

[mystic solar]

Absolutely not

I’d rather spend an extra couple hundred and get the real one

But ion need a new phone atm

[cold elbow]

didnt mention your 10 gigs 3080 cus you will get bullied?

[civic cloud]

The 3080 gets enough FPS in eSports titles to make that monitor not be completely useless

The 1060 doesnt

[rapid lake]

Does it have to be 100%?

You just want the numpad right

[muted mantle]

numpad is something i want but extra keys are always useful, i can work with a tenkeyless

[rapid lake]

tkl has no numpad

but you get arrows and some extra keys

idk what mine is but it's slightly smaller than a full size

[muted mantle]

oh wait yeah tenkeyless has no numpad i dont remember the terms to use mb

[rapid lake]

My hand for comparison

[muted mantle]

full keyboard minus the ”extra” keys?

[muted mantle]

oh thats a compact full keyboard

95% or something

[rapid lake]

Tbh idek what it’s missing because I never really thought I needed more keys

It’s 101 keys or something

But the size difference it big iirc compared to full size

Since the numpad gets a little area of its own

[lost fossil]

numpad steals a lot of mouse space

[rapid lake]

Says you wit a 200cm desk

[lost fossil]

which is especially bad for mfs who freak out at the sight of my setup with the inverted case

bc they have their case on the right which means even less mouse space

[civic cloud]

thank you for the hand for scale

[lost fossil]

it's ~150 actually

[rapid lake]

don't put it in your gooning gallery babe, I'll come over in a few years

[civic cloud]

im not into hands and i aint waiting several years

[lost fossil]

just the right length for a cumpooter and two 27 monitors

[civic cloud]

yeah no wonder so many suck at shooters, they cant move their mouse

[rapid lake]

damn

[civic cloud]

do you not have speakers on your desk oleg

[rapid lake]

and you said my 130cm is small

it's average bro

[lost fossil]

are we still talking about desks?

[rapid lake]

ayo

[lost fossil]

i don't have speakers other than the soundbar for the tv

[civic cloud]

its about what you do with it, not how big it is

[civic cloud]

and the soundbar is to the right of the desk iirc

[muted mantle]

ok this puts things into perspective for my dumbass

[lost fossil]

don't @ me

[civic cloud]

why

[rapid lake]

Ngl if I knew before I would've gotten a keyboard with a cool little volume knob

just to play around with

[civic cloud]

get a fidget spinner

[muted mantle]

yeah the volume knob on my sayodevice is godsent

its so amazing like wow, i dont have to change audio volume through windows and i can instead turn the knob

[lost fossil]

yes

[cold elbow]

that is a finger

i thought something else

helll nahh

[civic cloud]

nice christmas tree and i appreciate the kallax...but a TV console with drawers or doors looks much tidier (check out besta at ikea)

[civic cloud]

would be the same size

[cold elbow]

no

not that

u dirty minded goose

[civic cloud]

tf you mean then

[cold elbow]

[lost fossil]

check out besta at ikea
yeah next time i leave this country (which is probably never)

[civic cloud]

how did you get the kallax

[lost fossil]

i got it before the whole thing

[cold elbow]

come to finland O leg

[civic cloud]

im sure you can still get a 2nd hand tv console

does it not bother you that the sound is coming from the side when you watch ypt

[lost fossil]

[civic cloud]

or do you watch all videos on the TV

[lost fossil]

no i only use the soundbar when i go into mancave mode

like on the pic

[civic cloud]

ew do you use the monitors speakers????

[lost fossil]

no?

headphones ofc

[civic cloud]

all the time?

in summer?

[rapid lake]

did you eat the cables in your pc setup

[lost fossil]

is this like a rare thing in first world countries

is my country actually not a 4th world one after all

[lost fossil]

yes

[rapid lake]

and why is bro searching abigail's message history

[civic cloud]

Get some wall deco sis

[lost fossil]

https://youtu.be/3viekW3AnRA?t=161

[cold elbow]

12000 BTU AC

[rapid lake]

why is AC a fourth world country thing

[civic cloud]

And yeah AC is very uncommon here (it used to barely get above 30 in summer)

And by the time your brick house heats up the heatwave would have been gone

Now it's 30+ for weeks

[cold elbow]

wall type AC is the 4th world country thing

[lost fossil]

i'm here with all the gadgets and things i take for granted and gauss is wondering how i survive in the summer with headphones on my head

[rapid lake]

[lost fossil]

i'm p sure he can buy an ac after working for like 4 hours

[civic cloud]

I'm just worried about you ❤️

[rapid lake]

True

[cold elbow]

goverment might shoot him

cus he is using power

[rapid lake]

ACs be like $200 here

[civic cloud]

You guys overestimate how much I make

[rapid lake]

for a good one

[cold elbow]

wtfffffffffffffffffff

[rapid lake]

what

[cold elbow]

so cheap

about 500-600 here but the inverter one

[snow rover]

• another 1k for installation

[lost fossil]

i like my room bland and boring my sister put a bunch of christmas new year stuff around her room, including those big socks that you put chocolate bars in

and all i've done was putting that 🎄 on my desk

[civic cloud]

Why? At least put up some cool posters or art up :( no way you actually like the prison cell aesthetic

[rapid lake]

Oh yeah those are a bit more expensive

We have one at work that's got an inverter and connects to wifi it was like $350

[lost fossil]

i could print some nekopara artworks

[cold elbow]

i think the old ac units (on/off) are banned here

[civic cloud]

Idk who that is but make sure to get high resolution images otherwise it's gonna look shite

[cold elbow]

u guys stopped talking before i could finish my meal

so sad

[lost fossil]

nah i just went to see if there are any absurdres nekopara artworks on the internet

[civic cloud]

Focus on your meal instead of staring at a screen

[civic cloud]

Found any?

[rapid lake]

Now we know

Tf

It’s ddr4 but still

[brave field]

meh

[rapid lake]

That RAM gotta be like $200

If it’s fast

[stone apex]

Is someone familiar with bluetooth speakers not charging?

[thin turtle]

Why you need an inverter for an AC

[rapid lake]

So uh since they said the steam machine would be similarly priced to a gaming pc

[thin turtle]

DC motor?

Why

Wtf

[rapid lake]

I guess it’s gonna be over $1000 the

[rapid lake]

Isn’t the compressor dc

[thin turtle]

No

AC

[cold elbow]

It's more power efficient and more comfortable

[thin turtle]

Air conditioners usually run on a single phase capacitor start capacitor run single phase ac motors

[cold elbow]

Normal ac either run on 100% or zero

[rapid lake]

The ones with inverters are dc i think

[thin turtle]

Comfortable how

[cold elbow]

Inverter can adjust its speed based on cooling load

[thin turtle]

DC motors are unreliable asf

All them brushes and commutators

[cold elbow]

You set a normal ac to 22 it will hover between that number like from 24 to 20

[thin turtle]

[cold elbow]

Inverter will lock on 22 all the time

[thin turtle]

Speed control in ac motors is not rocket science either

Anyway

[cold elbow]

Yes but in an AC you have to control 3 motors

[rapid lake]

I’ve seen brushless dc drills

[thin turtle]

No

[cold elbow]

Yes

[thin turtle]

What are you talking about

[rapid lake]

So compressors are probably brushless too

[thin turtle]

There's one motor only

[cold elbow]

Condenser, evaporator and compressor

[thin turtle]

Hmm

And dc have one motor?

[rapid lake]

Electrical engineer getting humbled

By a melon

[thin turtle]

That's literally mechanical engineering

She knows best

[cold elbow]

When i wrote AC i meant air conditioner

[thin turtle]

How about reliability

How long do they live

[thin turtle]

BLDC motors don't usually drive heavy loads

[cold elbow]

Technically they should live more than traditional AC

[thin turtle]

Compressors require a big starting torque

[thin turtle]

Why so

[rapid lake]

Go look it up they’re brushless

[thin turtle]

Must be some big ass motor

Hence why it's expensive

[cold elbow]

Starting a motor is probably the most contributer to bad reliability

Because too much friction and no lubrication

[rapid lake]

Bro

[rapid lake]

Go get educated

[cold elbow]

Inverter doesn't start and stop a lot

[thin turtle]

Small loads is like fan

[cold elbow]

Besides they start at a very low speed then ramp up

[rapid lake]

They can generate high torque

[thin turtle]

They can

[rapid lake]

Do u have fridge with inverter too

[cold elbow]

Yes ofc

[rapid lake]

That’s the biggest money save

[cold elbow]

It makes so much sense because temperature doesn't fluctuate a lot which is better for your food

[rapid lake]

And they’re so quiet

My room shares a balcony with the fridge

[thin turtle]

Well ac motors ain't less reliable than bldc motors though

Once you get rid of the brushes life becomes easier

But yeah bldc is on the expensive side of motors

[rapid lake]

I think the point is DC motors are easier to control than AC

[thin turtle]

Not usually used for these applications, but maybe they found a way idk

[thin turtle]

Not really

[rapid lake]

Wdym not usually ACs with inverters been a thing for > 10 years now

[cold elbow]

The point is that you CAN control the motor

[thin turtle]

😭

[cold elbow]

And btw some of them are infact AC

[thin turtle]

What y'all yapping about

[cold elbow]

They just give it lower frequency

[thin turtle]

AC motors can be controlled

[cold elbow]

Yes

[thin turtle]

VFVVD

Or something

[rapid lake]

You live in the desert and you don’t know there’s ACs with inverters 😭

[cold elbow]

Wtf is that

[thin turtle]

Variable frequency Variable voltage drive

[cold elbow]

That's what i just said

[thin turtle]

Ok

[thin turtle]

We don't have these

[rapid lake]

What do you use then

[thin turtle]

Single phase ac

Using bldc sounds like overengineering

But maybe certain applications need precise temperature

[rapid lake]

It saves power

[thin turtle]

It's more expensive

[rapid lake]

And?

[cold elbow]

Inverter AC units are single phase

[thin turtle]

Wdym

[rapid lake]

You save money overtime

And you use less energy

[cold elbow]

U probably have them and dont know

[thin turtle]

Are you serious

[rapid lake]

Yes

[thin turtle]

You won't buy it

It's too much

Wth

[rapid lake]

We literally have 3 inverter ACs

[thin turtle]

This is like buying a tesla to save petrol money

[rapid lake]

💀

[thin turtle]

Well Lebanon ain't that hot

[rapid lake]

[thin turtle]

They have a capacitor

[cold elbow]

No shit

[rapid lake]

What does Lebanon have to do with anything bro

[thin turtle]

Well that's what the single phase ac need

[rapid lake]

Lowkey this guy is trolling

Go play mc

[thin turtle]

An inverter makes ac signal into dc

[cold elbow]

Too much brainrot

[thin turtle]

Smaller ac

You won't need bigger units

[rapid lake]

It’s the opposite

[thin turtle]

Then why are we using it

[rapid lake]

Idk ask melon

I just know it saves power

[thin turtle]

Where do you get the dc from

[rapid lake]

Go google

[thin turtle]

Also bldc use a permanent magnet

So cringe

[thin turtle]

Since when

Also had @rapid lake

Never bring that shit up again

[cold elbow]

Ask omar

[thin turtle]

That BLDC is widely used in industry

Industrial environment usually have a 3 phase AC supply

And need very big motors

BLDC of that size is too expensive

[cold elbow]

Since you are an electrical engineer

[thin turtle]

I don't think it is even possible

[cold elbow]

Why people use 3 phase

[thin turtle]

They have a bad intertia to torque ratio

[thin turtle]

Because tesla

[cold elbow]

?

[thin turtle]

Lord and saviour of electrical engineering

[thin turtle]

You mean what now

Why not dc?

In what regard

Grid?

[rapid lake]

It’s true

[thin turtle]

Well a three phase ac generator will produce a way higher voltage compared to a dc generator from the same size

Let alone the commutation issue

And brushes wearing out

Moreover, AC motors are considered "perfect", since they have a very low speed regulation

Meaning they can stay at an almost constant speed no matter how big is the load

Given they are in the operational range

[thin turtle]

It isn't

No one use big ass bldc

We would have electrical helicopters if they were so efficient

They are very heavy

And expensive

Why am I even speaking with you

You get trivial answers from ChatGPT

Nothing realistic

[thin turtle]

And don't say UAV

I mean helicopters as big as the current ones

[rapid lake]

[brave field]

@civic cloud sell at the top

If you're scared, make enough of a profit to cover the cost of selling, then reinvest into a lower risk ETF that includes it

Not financial advice

Or do what many people in my family do and sell when it plummets, then rebuy when it recovers

[civic cloud]

thats what i usually, thats why im selling my direct shares and only do ETFs

ASML and Airbus are the only ones that have more than double digits value

[brave field]

I guess you can also take small profits after each milestone it hits

15% up? Sell half or something. Cuts down your risk

[quaint helm]

tech-coding-math , no chemistry allow

[civic cloud]

probably the best decision to minismise sellers remorse (if it goes up/down)

[brave field]

@civic cloud Does your broker let you queue up both stop limit and stop loss orders?

many crypto exchanges would let you pile on orders that don't expire. Makes it easy to set up exactly the profit-taking suggestion and step away so you worry less about things

Well luckily i got my laptop sometime ago coz its not a good time to get a pc...

[noble trellis]

Still not answering the question of what the estimated price is

[glossy marten]

Idk much but people are saying gpus are gonna be 150% more expensive..

Ram is more expensive than a ps5 rn

[noble trellis]

I'm saying try to keep it simple, What's the average price?

[glossy marten]

Like from ~$750 to ~$850-900 for a 5070

[noble trellis]

I'm not even sure what a 5070 is, what would the price of a computer all together be

[glossy marten]

Well that all depends on what specs u want, u might wanna research on that part by urself and expect atleast 10% increase in its price

Tho 64gb ram rn is already more expensive than a ps5

[noble trellis]

Smh

@glossy marten You're making it way too complicated

[glossy marten]

Eh 2000$ for a decent enough pc

[cold elbow]

I didn't say that

And didn't look at who you were replying to

[civic cloud]

double L

[rapid lake]

You don’t scroll on whatsapp status

You tap

The only app I have where I can doomscroll is youtube and I wish I could get rid of shorts on ios

[civic cloud]

Sorry it looks very similar and both are from facebook

[rigid sage]

Same for me on android. What about here though? You can technically doomscroll here

Doomscrolling is the reason I uninstalled reddit and Facebook

[quaint helm]

i feel like this gonna be same as meta's glasses but with fAnCy rog logo on it

[rapid lake]

You can use apps to remove shorts entirely

[civic cloud]

I'm pretty sure those are all scams, there's no x-ray apps

[rapid lake]

What

X-ray?

[quaint helm]

who wear longs longs u wear longs longs

[quartz kayak]

Why is asus still releasing qd oleds when tandem oleds are an option

[civic cloud]

Price

[quaint helm]

budget 🤷‍♂️

[quartz kayak]

500 vs 600

And most ppl will buy tandem

[quaint helm]

best comparison some like performance base stuff , some like aesthetic base stuff 🤷‍♂️

[thin turtle]

@round sierra

[round sierra]

[thin turtle]

You wanna become an architect?

[quartz kayak]

The screens are basically the same.

[round sierra]

Probably yeah

[quartz kayak]

Only difference is better blacks and how much it lasts without beeing burnt

[thin turtle]

I recommend you set your upgrade path now and then buy the good components on at a time

[round sierra]

Once at a time, oh man

[thin turtle]

Because architecture kinda need a good build depending on what you'll do

[quaint helm]

welp it return back to the answer , WILL U SPEND MORE FOR A BETTER BLACK COLOR?

[quartz kayak]

And 60% more lastlonging? Yeah

[quaint helm]

what that pfp

[thin turtle]

See, I really hope you take the path where you'd learn the computer first then upgrade

[round sierra]

This guy is using my future job as references

[thin turtle]

But I don't have enough reasons besides that I'm a nerd

[round sierra]

Hm, ok

[thin turtle]

Chad horse

[thin turtle]

So in case you get the job you can upgrade

And you know where to go

That's how I built mine

[quaint helm]

chorse

[round sierra]

Ahh, fair enough

[thin turtle]

I bought a conservative prebuilt but requested some parts that I was sure about them being better for upgrades

Like the original offer had ddr4 ram

I told them to put ddr5 in it, that cost me an extra motherboard though

I made a mistake that I bought a small case lol

These mid-tower are not very suitable for big graphics cards

[snow rover]

never understood sff and all that

why would i not want space in my case

it's not like it matters whether it takes up 10 or 50 liters of space in my room, completely irrelevant

[thin turtle]

Desk space

That's also irrelevant

[snow rover]

pc goes on the floor

[thin turtle]

Noo

[quaint helm]

floor.

[thin turtle]

Ants will eat it

[quaint helm]

maybe they like looking at how cute their pc is

[round sierra]

Well i might buy a ATX case anyway

[thin turtle]

[round sierra]

(Not sure why they called that way, but its the biggest and cheapest as zeb said)

[thin turtle]

ATX is the motherboard standard ig

The size and screws placement

ATX is mid tower innit

[quaint helm]

theres E-ATX

[round sierra]

E ATX?

Oh man, now i have to research that

[snow rover]

e-atx isn't a standard

[thin turtle]

This research is really tiring, just buy a cheap one and learn on it

[snow rover]

manufacturers will call anything bigger than atx e-atx

[quaint helm]

most of the time is mid tower tbh 🤷‍♂️ rarely full tower

[round sierra]

Bruh, as my test subject or what?

[quaint helm]

enlarge atx 🤓

[thin turtle]

It is impossible to learn it all without having hands on experience

[round sierra]

Well we were told in the current school that i go, that i am gonna learn this year how to build PCs and what each component does

So i might test it there then

[thin turtle]

A computer is not supposed to be used unmaintained, you will need to open it eventually

[thin turtle]

Well then wait until that time

[quaint helm]

to remove that issue , dont install ur side panel 🤓 my fans are dusty af

[thin turtle]

[round sierra]

Wont the prices increase anyway until then?

[thin turtle]

Not necessarily

[round sierra]

Well i might wait then

[thin turtle]

How long

[thin turtle]

For now, I think you should get familiar with the market

Look for start ups as I said earlier

[round sierra]

Start ups?

[thin turtle]

They might have some crazy deals

[round sierra]

Well i have one question tho... do i have to buy a OS?

[thin turtle]

Small businesses, like instagram guys

[round sierra]

Ah, ok

[round sierra]

Or do they come made in the system?

[thin turtle]

They usually give you if you buy a prebuilt

[thin turtle]

No

It is installed with a flash drive

Or a CD

[round sierra]

With a USB stick?

[thin turtle]

[thin turtle]

Yes

[round sierra]

Huh, ok

But a specific one, or can i download a OS from my laptop and upload it on a newly build PC

[thin turtle]

Yes

[quaint helm]

tbh i feel like in few year lisa gonna release a newer am4 chip since dr5 platform expensive af

[thin turtle]

Download from anywhere and the computer will suck it in

[quaint helm]

adsorb

[round sierra]

Huh, ok

[round sierra]

Yes for the 1st one or both

[thin turtle]

The motherboard comes with a prebuilt system called bios/uefi. But that is just hardware level

[thin turtle]

Idk anymore

You download from your laptop

And put in the computer

[round sierra]

From a certain website, or my laptop itself?

[thin turtle]

Then activate windows

[quaint helm]

i think windows have 1 page for 'clean installation' blah blah

[thin turtle]

From Microsoft

Windows

[round sierra]

Hm, ok

[quaint helm]

OOPS microsoft

[round sierra]

So i stick a USB stick in my Laptop, download from microsoft (preferably) windows 11, stick it into my PC, then upload it there?

[quaint helm]

https://www.wikihow.com/Install-an-Operating-System-on-a-Brand-New-Computer 🤓

[round sierra]

Sounds easy lol

[thin turtle]

Yeah

[round sierra]

WikiHow exists... i forgot

[thin turtle]

Then you buy the licence in the new computer

[round sierra]

BRO WHAT

Tf you mean license?

[quaint helm]

i feel like i gonna buy a new usb drive my seagate portable hard-drive have walled by a password process

[thin turtle]

Windows 11 is a paid product

[round sierra]

Well how much does it cost anyway?

100 bucks?

[thin turtle]

You can run it for free but you have to pay for all the features

[thin turtle]

Depends

[round sierra]

Well ok

And i buy that from my PC?

[thin turtle]

There are ethical ways and questionable ways from which you get the "keys"

Ethical is expensive

[round sierra]

Lemme just buy it bruh

[quartz kayak]

Imagine paying for windows

Do better guys cmon

[round sierra]

No need to pirate it

[thin turtle]

You buy it but for way less

[quartz kayak]

Now that i think about it

Why does windows have ads

Its a paid product

Holy shit

[thin turtle]

It's a one time purchase

That's why

No reoccurring revenue

[thin turtle]

You can run it without activation

[round sierra]

And you said its cheaper right?

[thin turtle]

You will have this forever

[thin turtle]

Free

No piracy

From windows

[round sierra]

This lil box with "activate windows"?

[thin turtle]

Without the box

Just watermark

It will be everywhere

You'll have less features too

And like 0 updates

[round sierra]

Might just buy it then

[thin turtle]

[thin turtle]

There are people who sell activation keys

Idk what's the legal stance on that

But they are very cheap

So

[round sierra]

But trough 3rd party yes?

[thin turtle]

Yeah

They are genuine keys

But idk what are the conditions for them

Maybe they are a single use

[round sierra]

Isnt buying it trough windows single use too?

[thin turtle]

I don't think so

Well that's not the case for their Microsoft office apps

I'm just making assumptions

Didn't look it up actually

[snow rover]

windows retail keys are not single use

you can transfer them

[quaint helm]

home cost like almost 250$ lol

[snow rover]

oem keys are single use

[thin turtle]

Wow

Wasn't windows pro universal?

One at a time

[civic cloud]

My first Laptop came with a windows license and I've used that ever since lol

[quaint helm]

intel or leave 🤓

[civic cloud]

X2 ELITE EXTREMEEEEEEEE

For EXTREME office work

[quaint helm]

INTEL OR LEAVE

[thin turtle]

you just move the licence around?

should've done that for myself too

but this was a prebuilt anyway

[quaint helm]

heat will be ur issue rmb zenbook is slim af with only 1 fan

[civic cloud]

you can add it to your microsoft account

dont hmm me

you would know this if you spent 20secs googling

[quaint helm]

mmh

this server's icon still have christmas vibe

[kindred vapor]

So?

This server can have the Christmas icon throughout the year and no one can do anything about it

[civic cloud]

toxic

[thin turtle]

I will change it

[supple wharf]

[quaint helm]

gen5 and 14.9gbps dont expect much for the price

[supple wharf]

I didn't pay that price, that's the fun part

I "bought" it remotely for pickup (it's from microcenter so I didn't pay until I got there) and it was the last one they had so I got to pay 550 for it

[thin turtle]

Is that French

What's Byte in French

Octet

Interesting

[brave field]

Note the people reselling keys for cheap are gray market @thin turtle

even the ones that have the verified Microsoft Partner badge are gray market. They're not authorized windows key resellers despite being a partner

Some of them straight up sell keys that have already been used instead of just selling stolen ones

[thin turtle]

True, I called them "questionable" for that reason

The legal stance is not clear

[brave field]

It's unfair that they end up being able to post their listings on otherwise reputable sites

[civic cloud]

I thought most are Company keys that weren't intended for personal use?

[quaint helm]

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-rumored-to-bring-geforce-rtx-3060-production-back-this-quarter @rapid lake long live 3060

[rapid lake]

Would be nice

Bring back 3070/80 too

[quaint helm]

nah fk those

wait xx80 maybe yes but 3070 is a fk no

[quartz kayak]

Arent the 70s always the most liked nowadays

[rapid lake]

I doubt they’ll make the 12gb 3060s

[quaint helm]

its either xx60 xx80 or xx90

[quartz kayak]

No?

60 is entry level

[supple wharf]

xx70 models are most definitely a thing

I didn't read the conversation

Disregard

[quaint helm]

i didnt put xx70 bcus it shares the same die catergory as xx60 just a little better than xx60 while cost way more

aka WASTE OF MONEY

[rapid lake]

Well, no

The 5070 is much faster than the 5060

Even the 60ti

But back then yeah it was bad

The 5070 at $500 is pretty well-priced

It was starting to come down around that price but now idk

[quartz kayak]

70 is like the normal ppls

Anything else is just too much money so no one buys them

[civic cloud]

so after AI buying up all the GPUs (price increase for us) it's now buying up all the RAM which is a double price increase for GPUs and RAM for us :(

I'm so glad I can have a stupid text bot now

Really worth it

[quaint helm]

at least i can see cat doing karate kick and flying at the same time

[thick cobalt]

How important can updating bios be

[civic cloud]

If it works there's barely any reason to update

Unless you're so far outdated that you don't have access to resizeable or something like that

[quaint helm]

*unless ure overclocking its better to update bios if theres newer version

[thick cobalt]

Idk ive been having game crashes recently and the only thing I can really do is update bios as ram is 500 for to replace mine

And I am not doing that

[quartz kayak]

Last time i updated my bios was in 2021

And it changed absolutely nothing

[quaint helm]

better update every driver

[quartz kayak]

If you have an nvidia card its more likely to be drivers

These last drivers have been crashing a couple

I rolled back

And theres no crashes anymore

Ofc it depends from cards to cards but i heard the 40 series were the most affected

[quaint helm]

AI AI AI 🤓

[thick cobalt]

Nah I have a 9070xt

[quaint helm]

wait gamecrash... how hot is ur card

[thick cobalt]

Hot. Lmfao

But there isn't really anything I could about the heat

[quaint helm]

above 70?

[thick cobalt]

I am not sure, I know i feel the backplate and it can burn me if I held it there

But im sure the card itself isn't above 80

As i have fans that blow air right into the bottom of the gpu

9070xt in a micro atx build

[quaint helm]

[thick cobalt]

If I switch to a AMD cpu, I'll go back to ATX

[quaint helm]

240HZ OLED FH........nvm skip

[quaint helm]

3000d and 7 p12 pros 🤓

[thick cobalt]

1080p oled still gonna charge like 1k for those I bet

[quaint helm]

MORE

[thick cobalt]

1.5k

[quaint helm]

this aint gonna be cheap tbh its a dock for a AR glasses

[thick cobalt]

Yeh they will not be having my money

I cant even afford a oled itself rn

Once again my dying gpu fan starts screaming at me which promopts me to clean the whole case and gpu heatsink

It’s like a monthly reminder type shit

[civic cloud]

aw the fan is worried about you

[rapid lake]

No it's asking for its meds

I'm going to ask a relative aborad to order a bunch of fans for this gpu and send them whenever he can

[lost fossil]

get 2 80mm or 92mm fans (depending on the width (?) of the card), remove the stock fan shroud and stock fans, strap new fans to the heatsink with zipties

[rapid lake]

Yeah no

That looks ugly asf and I have nowhere to plug them in on the mobo

[cold elbow]

Yeah ues

Yes

Or lubricate the fan bearing but that would not be easy for you

[quaint helm]

u have external fan hub or connect to ur pst case fans if u have them

that is why i said "for you"

I'm telling you I've taken apart fans before 😭

And you can't pop open the fan to see the bearing

[quaint helm]

https://videocardz.com/newz/sandisk-retires-wd_black-and-wd-blue-branding-launches-optimus-ssd-tiers-for-2026 pointless changing design bcus memory gonna cost so much

it's not worth the effort anyways it's probably toast

[lost fossil]

that's why u do the thing i suggested and end up with a way better cooler

[rapid lake]

meh

[lost fossil]

[cold elbow]

but he is not on that chart so it checks out

[quaint helm]

slap a noctua air cooler 🤓

[rapid lake]

why would I buy fans for like... $20 and make my gpu ugly as fuck when the oem fans are like $2

[lost fossil]

are u sure they're $2 actually

i mean if that's the case then sure ig

[cold elbow]

cus they are not 2$

[lost fossil]

a pair of thermalright or arctic 80mms cant be that much

[cold elbow]

and with the fans mod you will get quiter fans and more cooling btw

[lost fossil]

[cold elbow]

i will probably do that later

dont like the noise my card making

[rapid lake]

I've guessing that comes with a set

[quaint helm]

[rapid lake]

So it's $3 ish per fan

[cold elbow]

and with shipping and time?
