I could be totally wrong tho I always preferred Crystal when it came to gen 2 I wish I still had my gb color

[upbeat spade]

no i'm pretty sure all new copies of hgss came with the pokewalker

it was central to the marketing

the fact that i still remember the marketing from like fifteen years ago shows how awesome i thought the game was

[pearl notch]

Ahh I never actually purchased one new I just figured you could 😆

Well then with them not bringing it back for future titles make me wonder if hgss was a lose to Nintendo

Cause I’ve never known that money hungry company to stop making stuff if they made money from it

[upbeat spade]

well, it was one of the best most accurate pedometers ever made

it probably had a pretty disproportionate production cost

[pearl notch]

Fair

Did you ever play the game cube games

Colosseum and xd gales of darkness

[upbeat spade]

never owned a gamecube, i did watch gameplay though

it's a real shame, i never owned a console that wasn't a handheld

[pearl notch]

I miss pokemon stadium and stadium 2 on n64 probably never let my dad live down the fact he gave my GameCube and n64 to my uncle’s current gfs kids at the time they cut all the power cords for no reason 😢

[upbeat spade]

with like, scissors? damn

[pearl notch]

Ye

It was years later the eldest brother got really bad off on drugs and thought console power cords had copper in them

[upbeat spade]

wtf

[pearl notch]

I was like 23 when I found out and still cried like a baby knowing the consoles I had spent countless hours on had gone to such a terrible home if I would have known I would have demanded my uncle return them

😢 it still brings a tear to my eye thinking about it Ik buying a power cord isn’t hard but I’m sure they did far more than I was told about

[upbeat spade]

is it gone now? maybe you could get it back

[pearl notch]

Definitely gone

Probably sold them to a pawn shop after realizing power cords don’t have copper needed that fix fukn druggie

I told my dad this year all I want for my birthday and Christmas (only 2 months apart) is a GameCube with the gba attachment it’s may got plenty of time that’s all I want for both holidays I don’t think that’s a tough ask

[upbeat spade]

i wonder how expensive gamecubes are now

my neighbour had one

[pearl notch]

Honestly not that much maybe 200 at most

[civic cloud]

Less than 100 on german ebay

[pearl notch]

I think the gba attachment will cost more than the system it self tbh

[upbeat spade]

on canadian ebay costs about 100 here, not counting any controllers or attachments
hell, i'm not sure half of these even come with the power cables

[pearl notch]

You can buy cords at any retro game store for around 25-45$

[upbeat spade]

i don't even know if we have those

would have better luck going back to japan or taiwan and finding small retro game stores than here

[pearl notch]

That’s sad retro game stores are so unique and amazing it’s like walking through childhood as an adult

[upbeat spade]

it is

i almost bought nintendogs from one in taiwan
i was gonna buy a 3ds monster hunter game, but it turns out they only sold japanese region games and my 3ds is NA

[pearl notch]

💀 funny enough tho with inflation and such it’s like nothing has truly change I couldn’t afford some things then and still can’t now

[pearl notch]

Wack sauce

[upbeat spade]

real shame

hey, at the very least i own a 3ds

they're getting expensive

not gonna get hung up over what region it's from at this point

[pearl notch]

True I want a certain one but it’s far from my willing price range

[upbeat spade]

they're only ever going to go up, and at some point it would make more sense to buy an ayn thor instead

better sooner than later i think

[pearl notch]

But we’ve been having quiet a few Pokémon conventions coming through soon so I might go see if I can strike a deal with a 3ds vender

[upbeat spade]

they were selling some 3ds and 3dsxl at that store

unless you're a diehard fan... they costed more than a switch. i wouldn't

[pearl notch]

I want it just to say I have one ngl my biggest dream is to one day own all consoles even if they just sit on a wall shelf just knowing at any time I can still play games from my childhood seems like a dream come true

Well expect Sony I own a ps2 that’s really all I need ngl

[upbeat spade]

hm, i don't really feel that way, guess it's a collector thing

i would like a 3dsxl because nintendo did this weird thing where they made the xl versions to a higher standard quality

[pearl notch]

Ye definitely a collector thing

[upbeat spade]

there's a huge difference in the dsi and dsixl, the dsixl feels super premium - not even just in comparison, it feels like it comes from an entirely different company with how much higher quality it feels
i think the difference in quality from 3ds to 3dsxl would also be like that

also my hands too big and cramps after playing on the 3ds for too long 💀 but that's life

[pearl notch]

Ye I got a 3ds from a friend when I found it survived his mothers house fire

Never really play it tho always wanted a 3ds

Xl

[upbeat spade]

well, it is what we have

might as well use it until the opportunity presents itself to upgrade

[pearl notch]

I actually just bought Batman Arkham origins black gate for it

But after I did fr abd lg got its port so 😬 it’s kinda got ignored

[upbeat spade]

too much option huh

obviously i modded cfw into my dsixl, and actually one of the advice that is frequently given is to not put too many games in at once
because you're never going to finish any of them since you're playing too many games at once

[pearl notch]

I have it in my switch bag so I always have it if I do so choose to play it

[upbeat spade]

in the switch bag? no way, it's never gonna get touched lol

you have to bring it standalone

[pearl notch]

Looool 😆 it’s in the same pocket as my switch games so if I look it there it’s like a lil hidden treat

And we both know once I buy my gba sp they’re both gonna get neglected cause the gba I’m buying comes with a hard case

[upbeat spade]

yeep that's the issue with having too many options

so you just have to make the conscious decision to stick with one or two games on one device for a month or so

[pearl notch]

At least it’s a good issue to have like hmm what do I wanna take with me today the gba nah the switch nah the 3ds sure!

[upbeat spade]

i mean yeah, but it's a waaay easier decision process for me when i just say "i gotta grind to e4" and pick up the dsi every time

[pearl notch]

Loool I do plan to buy more games for the 3ds but all I have is Batman and a fire damaged Luigi’s mansion or super Mario bros 3 can’t remember which it is

[upbeat spade]

fire damage didn't affect its performance?

[pearl notch]

I honestly been to scared to put that game in it for some odd reason it’s like the universe saved the 3ds it was in the only not burnt room in the house but the game was probably 35-45ft away like right were the fire stopped so it’s got horrible smoke damage

I cleaned it but idk if I wanna risk the whole system for Mario

But as far as the 3ds it self no a single scrap cut or any grime on it it’s like something laid on top of it protecting it

[upbeat spade]

lucky

hope they're doing fine, why'd your friend give it to you?

[pearl notch]

We were walking through the house and I seen it and said mine he just looked at me and said idc man I’m not 12

So in my pocket it went

[upbeat spade]

he don't get it 😢

[pearl notch]

Not at all

He grew out of gaming once he started racing go-karts and we grew apart but his mom lives like 5 mins from my house so I went to check on her see if she needed anything losing a house and all and that’s when I found it

Sad thing is I’m not sure if insurance covered it cause she left a candle lit and left and a cat pushed it into the curtains

[upbeat spade]

damn, costly mistake

[pearl notch]

Very

[upbeat spade]

you can't leave even small a fire unattended like that if you have children or animals

[pearl notch]

Cat got out and 3ds survived everything else was gone

Well and the few pictures in the room with the Ds

She moved away shortly after that and i haven’t talked to any of them I think they’re all ok but i think that friend doesn’t like me cause he said i act childish the way i care about video games

[upbeat spade]

the hell? that's a weird way for him to judge a friend, especially one who went out of his way to check on your mom

guess it was about time for you to part in that case

[pearl notch]

Eh idrc anymore it did hurt at first but everything happens for a reason right we had our time as best friends and I wouldn’t go back and change it but I’m definitely not gonna change who I am for someone like that

[upbeat spade]

real

[compact mica]

would this still be good? (brand new pc build)

AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D
Gigabyte B650 Eagle
2x8GB Kingston 5200MHz
MSI RTX 4070Ti Gaming X Trio 12GB
Chieftec Vega M 850W PSU
Krux HydroX 360 ARGB
Modecom Volcano Panorama NF

[quaint helm]

that ram

go lower on ur gpu and find better ram

[snow fiber]

Since when 5200mhz is considered bad

[cold elbow]

16 is

[quaint helm]

he can save 300$ for none TI

[snow fiber]

16gb ram is pretty decent

[cold elbow]

Sureee

[civic cloud]

More than 16GB RAM? In this economy? No thank u

[snow fiber]

Don't buy gpu, you will save a ton. Buy all ram

[cold elbow]

I would drop to ddr4 and save ton of money and get more performance

[quaint helm]

if u want to be special one sure get 5200

[snow fiber]

Hm?

[quaint helm]

down grade 4070ti to 4070 and get 7700x 👏 still have extra for 32g 👏 smarty

[snow fiber]

you are so strange

Why would recommend someone to buy 32gb ram by downgrading the gpu despite knowing the ram situation. Genuinely the worst advice I have seen today

[civic cloud]

I only know one niche game that uses more than 16gb ram anyway, why the fuck would you recommend that

You can grab another stick of ram down the line

Rather have better gpu and cpu

[cold elbow]

D D R 4

The solution to everything

Jesus guys

[quaint helm]

reject dr4 go dr3 🤓

[snow fiber]

You will have to upgrade the motherboard if you want to go ddr5 in the future

[cold elbow]

Who cares... u buying it for dirt cheap

[quaint helm]

balance thing is better than high ball one and low ball another

[snow fiber]

There is no high ball or low ball.
Instead I might end up recommending buying less ram . Yes ddr4 is an option if you want . It's all upto him and his future planning about this pc

[quaint helm]

he can do alot stuff if he down grade Ti to non-Ti lmao , 2 more core , LF3 , or even a better 16g if he wants

[snow fiber]

You are so obsessed with ram
I can't

[cold elbow]

Yeah but none of that gonna get him extra fps

[quaint helm]

in lf3 we trust trust tgt bcus u like arctic

[cold elbow]

Lf3 is like 70 bucks

I heard amd is making more 5800x3D

Is it avaliable now?

[snow fiber]

Am4 right?

[cold elbow]

Yea

[quaint helm]

240mm sure

[cold elbow]

Or was it 5700x3d

[quaint helm]

5700 3d i believe

[cold elbow]

I have that... a banger cpu

[quaint helm]

OR u mean this one?

[cold elbow]

Hurrrayyy

[civic cloud]

10th year anniversary with 10x price

[quaint helm]

lisa wont do those kind of stuff trust lisa love am4

[boreal oxide]

thanks

gonna grab one

always wanted this cpu but brand new as I tend to dwell on legacy hardware more than next gen

I wonder if it was relesase already

gonna do some deep searching for it

[dense raven]

Welp

[slender bronze]

@dense raven

yikes

[dense raven]

I guess It's a good idea to not get nuked by mods today.

[dense raven]

U plannin on getting a monitor?

[ornate river]

Y'all seen this new GPU
Really
Tasty
Xperience

[dense raven]

Lmao

Pc finna be full with this GPU

He not gonna need more power for the rest of the day

[ornate river]

I was legit contemplating about upgrading from 16gb to 32gb, but even for DDR4, stocks are low and the prices are fucked for me

[slender bronze]

once I get a pc

[ornate river]

And it's like investing in a dead end

[slender bronze]

what the ...

[dense raven]

[dense raven]

No price stops me from getting that 2x16 DRR5 kit!!!

[ornate river]

My saving plan is just waiting years for RAM to hopefully stabilize, and go straight for ddr5 with 7800x3d

Other than that, 16gb is still serving me well

[slender bronze]

we got ddr7 ?

[ornate river]

Bit too soon

[dense raven]

I'm waiting for it to go down to under 300$

Cuz it just went up to 452$ again

[slender bronze]

what's the current prove

[dense raven]

Like I said, the ddr5 I want costs 452$ rn a few days ago it cost 240$ or sum.

[slender bronze]

this all due to ppl posting ai slop

[dense raven]

That encourages the AI creators to enhance it further.

Why won't they go bankrupt now? I don't understand

Nvidia is hurting himself

[ornate river]

Well they're still losing money because most people are using generative AI for free

[slender bronze]

nahh

[ornate river]

It's just a pretty long term drop

[dense raven]

And I hope it keeps going on.

[dense raven]

With all that investment in AI slop? Nvidia is indeed hurting himself.

[slender bronze]

nahh

[dense raven]

Wdym Nahh?

[slender bronze]

ai companies are in need of gpu and who is the current best supplier nvidia

[dense raven]

That's exactly why they should stop investing

[slender bronze]

infact they were even considering to discontinue gpu for gaming but idk if its true

[slender bronze]

nvidia is in business so they don't care as long as they make money

[dense raven]

Somebody make them regrett it please

[slender bronze]

its not gonna happen

the industry is growing rapidly

[dense raven]

AI is loosing money so hopes are up

[slender bronze]

really?

[dense raven]

They loose more money more than they gain

[slender bronze]

ai bubble gonna burst?

[dense raven]

Next year they say

[slender bronze]

when are we gonna expect rtx 60 series

[dense raven]

Maybe next year?

Idk

[slender bronze]

what's your dream pc build

[slender bronze]

what is your gou

[dense raven]

4060 laptop GPU

[slender bronze]

dayum

[dense raven]

Who needs 50 series if we got the 40

[slender bronze]

rich brats

[dense raven]

Fair

[ornate river]

Idk 8gb vram seems like treading a thin line nowadays

[slender bronze]

💯

[dense raven]

Still good enough.

[slender bronze]

imagine it they drop pc release date with trailer 3 😁

[dense raven]

I hope so.

[ornate river]

May 21, trust

[dense raven]

I'll get my hopes up if it doesn't come, i'll be disappointet

[quaint helm]

understand now 💀

nvidia 'invest' in ai company = ai company have money , ai company buys gpu from nvidia , then software companies uses AI from big company(from big AI company) and pay for the gpu usage i believe

[dense raven]

Why invest in the first place

[quaint helm]

bcus they cant afford to buy gpu so nvidia invest in them

[dense raven]

let them go bankrupt.

I don't have much patience, I want my 2x16 DDR5

[quaint helm]

i believe its slowing popping now

[compact mica]

how come a 4080 is nearly the same price as 4070Ti for me?

average price of 4070ti from the store im shopping from

[wary pawn]

Because AsUs

Some sellers think some brands require more money.

Second image Asus got a discount, while the first one didn’t. Both look around same without discounts.

[wary pawn]

@rapid lake

[compact mica]

what

[dense raven]

Holy fossil

[quaint helm]

ok first , its strix (famous for overclocking b4 astral exist) , second , its asussy ( asussy tax)

[quartz kayak]

Bro said off grid computing

[civic arch]

damn some crossfeed sounds

nice on headphone

[rapid lake]

damn

I mean I appreciate the engineering

That's actually pretty cool

But the idea is not

[civic cloud]

Battery with a solar panel would lowkey be nicer

[wary pawn]

For an underground bunker with unlimited fuel.

[rapid lake]

But that's not very innovative

[civic cloud]

Neither is a lil engine

[rapid lake]

Where have you seen a 2-stroke generating electricity to power a device

As a standalone system

We just got a new battery and UPS for work btw

I didn't realise our old UPS was... old. The fan ran 24/7 and when you turned it off it was like you just shut off a fighter jet. This new one is 1/3 the size yet it doesn't need to keep its fans running to dissipate the heat

The battery is 200Ah 12v lead-acid battery, I tried to carry it alone thinking it wasn't "that heavy" and I almost tumbled

[civic cloud]

Self made ebike

But beside that, never cuz its stupid

[civic cloud]

Weak ass nerd </3

[nova steppe]

Ghost ping due to filter

Oh

It's all of them

I'll dm it

[rapid lake]

says you

[plucky raft]

you are the nerd nerd

[lost fossil]

reminded me of how i replaced the fans in my ups and the next time the power went out, so did the ups with an error code... which i dismissed until it happened a second time, at which point i looked up what the error code meant and it was related to the fan

tried to make the ups quieter
made a power strip that ate 10% of the power as a result

[lost fossil]

that thing has to have been like 90kg

[civic cloud]

Have you learned something from that

[civic cloud]

I can do squats while holding you in my arms <3

[lost fossil]

yes i did

[civic cloud]

Shut up

[lost fossil]

i learned that that ups uses a bastard child of the dell fan connector

where in terms of pin order it's the same pinout but every pin is shifted sideways by 1

[civic cloud]

Why would they do that

[plucky raft]

Send Me Door

[lost fossil]

because they're dell

fuck dell

there's even an activity in gta online called the fucking dell raid or something

[civic cloud]

Trying to avoid the filter eh? Quick oleg, ban her

[civic cloud]

Bro what

Are you stealing pcs in that mission

[lost fossil]

there's some hacking

[civic cloud]

Hm

[plucky raft]

what are you talking about nerd

[civic cloud]

You know what im talking about bish

[plucky raft]

trying to avoid filter

get banned nerd

[plucky raft]

we have a UPS that its fan only work when its on battery mode

[civic cloud]

so be it

I have no regrets

Anyway gn

[plucky raft]

gonna tell melon

[rapid lake]

You really gonna let him talk to you like that

[civic cloud]

what do you want now omg

[rapid lake]

Didn't know dell made UPS systems

[rapid lake]

It was completely filled with distilled water so it might've been lmao

[civic cloud]

Is your battery watercooled??

[rapid lake]

Even with 2 people carrying it felt just possible

[rapid lake]

yea

[civic cloud]

damn aight

[rapid lake]

it has an arctic liquid freezer 360

rgb

[civic cloud]

Can you water cool my bed

[rapid lake]

What are you doing with your bed

That it needs cooling

what a freak

[quaint helm]

ill pour water on u then the water cools ur bed

[civic cloud]

Im hot

cant wait to get this

I have a thing for legacy hardware

currently saving for it and gonna pair a rtx 3xxx series card

or 4xxx series

[quaint helm]

sleeper build moment

[boreal oxide]

WOOT!

yup

@quaint helm

I liked your orginal avator more

was more cyber borg

why changed it?

[quaint helm]

aksually

[boreal oxide]

aye

[quaint helm]

nerdy cat is new meta

[quartz kayak]

True

[quartz kayak]

I can

[civic cloud]

Thanks babe

[quaint helm]

np

[tawny totem]

Hi

[cold elbow]

H

[civic cloud]

i

[nova steppe]

M

[quaint helm]

but it not using p12 tho

[cold elbow]

Can u even do that

Forget the space

Does it have a standard psu

Or pcie cables to run the gpu

[nova steppe]

because all that air resistance will absolutely chomp down on the batts, plus 120mm is a bit too large for a mini desk fan. 80-100 better

[cold elbow]

I used a 150mm as desk fan

[nova steppe]

that's a desk fan

i said mini desk fan

[cold elbow]

Desk fan

[nova steppe]

b a l l c h i l l e r s ✨️

[cold elbow]

Smol fans are just too noisy

[nova steppe]

can't hear them over the car

[cold elbow]

And doesn't push good enough air

[nova steppe]

and true

i point them at my knees and the airflow goes up my body to my neck, and keeping the neck cool helps cool the whole body

[cold elbow]

Said desk fan

[nova steppe]

i need a power source, I have many fans

[cold elbow]

So you have only fans

[nova steppe]

places stopped selling fan controllers as 5.25" drive bays went out of fashion

[cold elbow]

And no power

[nova steppe]

yes.

[cold elbow]

Dont need one since thqt fan runs on any 12V thing

[nova steppe]

yeah, i need a 12v thing

[cold elbow]

And comes with the noise reduction thing

[vagrant crown]

Just wear this instead

[cold elbow]

U probably have lots of 12v things

[nova steppe]

when I was doing a thing with overclocking with cold temps, I just hooked it up to a 9v battery

[nova steppe]

yes, but the wires are paper thin in the few cables I've looked at, but I guess I can take a peek at a few more

[quaint helm]

aorus have fan too?????????????

[nova steppe]

flow would get blocked by VR headset

[nova steppe]

i'm glad you noticed

||and no||

i just put a sticker on it

[cold elbow]

Do u have AC

[nova steppe]

none of the stickers were wide enough to cover the entire label of the white fan

[nova steppe]

yes

[quaint helm]

wait ure cooling the wheel's motor thingy or cooling ur leg

[nova steppe]

everything from the knees up to my neck

if I'm not sitting in the seat, you can feel the airflow if you put your hand above the headrest

[cold elbow]

A large fan in a corner can probably do better job

[nova steppe]

I already feed in the cool air from the hall into the room with a box fan

there can be up to a 10 degree F delta between the area by my PC exhaust and the hallway

[cold elbow]

Which means ac is not in your room

[nova steppe]

even just opening the door after my room heats up, if you use smoke/fog, you can see how strong the convection currents are

[cold elbow]

Throw pc outside

[nova steppe]

it is, it (read: the insulation) just can't keep up with the heat output of my PC unless I turn it down enough to freeze the other rooms on this side of the house

[nova steppe]

I've thought of a window radiator more than a few times

[cold elbow]

No like.... using a fancy KVM

[nova steppe]

also considered that

if there was a good looking path through the wall/attic to my room, then I'd do something like KVM or running something akin to a Mora

i was typing the first part before you mentioned the kvm yourself

[cold elbow]

There are fiber kvms

Probably too expensive

[nova steppe]

I also need a ton of USB, so I'd need like, shit in parallel

[cold elbow]

Yeah it come with a lot

I think that networking dude is making them

Forgor his name

[nova steppe]

idk what the total bandwith for whatever revision they're on now for stuff like thunderbolt

last I saw of kvms were when Linus was still in his old house

[cold elbow]

I think linus used these

Oh yes.... level one tech

[civic cloud]

They are wildly expensive

Easily 300 and more

[nova steppe]

yeah, i've also considered just getting another PC with a pretty good CPU and just streaming over network

the CPU would be for doing music plugin stuff natively. it's cpu intensive

i could prob use my audio interfaces through thunderbolt, actually

[snow fiber]

So what's the conversation, overheating and usb ports?

[nova steppe]

TL;DR: my pc makes my room hot

[civic cloud]

quite unexpected

you also make your room hot xoxo

[rapid lake]

@civic cloud Hey

[civic cloud]

@rapid lake Hey

[civic cloud]

odd to say hey just to ghost me afterwards </3

[rapid lake]

I didn't notice

[civic cloud]

wow ok

so what do you want

[rapid lake]

Anyways

[civic cloud]

desk?

[rapid lake]

No

[civic cloud]

murphy bed?

[rapid lake]

Not that either

[civic cloud]

then idk

[rapid lake]

Go buy Deep Rock Galactic

Let's play

[civic cloud]

no, ive played it with gamepass and its as enjoyable as HD2

aka fun for a bit and then repetitive

[rapid lake]

That's why you play for one hour every couple days

[civic cloud]

melon used to roast me for that playstyle

[rapid lake]

It's the lifer playstyle

she's a no-lifer

anyways, bye loser

I'll have a lot of fun playing drg without u

[civic cloud]

truth has been spoken

[civic cloud]

what the hell

[cold elbow]

Wtffff

[rapid lake]

don't wtf me

[civic cloud]

hes right

[cold elbow]

Hd2 is not similar to deep rock

And not as repetitive

Im tired of gus false takes

[rapid lake]

Drg is better

[cold elbow]

Nah

[rapid lake]

For rock and stone

[cold elbow]

Played it for 30 minutes and stopped

[rapid lake]

I want to try HD2 now that I liked drg, I didn't really like PvE before, at all

[rapid lake]

It's a bit boring alone

It's meant to be played with a squad, all the roles compliment each other very well

[cold elbow]

Played it with friends that invited me to it

Guess im just not a fan of tunnels and stuff like that

[quaint helm]

not a fan of miner

[cold elbow]

Super earth needs me

[quaint helm]

instead of E its ummmm

[nova steppe]

o?

[quaint helm]

idk

[compact mica]

fight me: asus rog strix 40 series had the best look

[civic cloud]

1. Cba to fight you
2. Nvidia founder is always the sexiest design

[quaint helm]

look at 30 series and think again

[civic arch]

focusrite gonna arrive tomorrow

can finally get rid of the noise hopefully

[quartz kayak]

What did you order from focusrite

[civic arch]

scarlett solo 4th gen

[quartz kayak]

For a mic setup?

I think its a solid

I had the vocaster one and it was so good

[civic arch]

for my speakers

and mic

and headphones

i need the external part to get rid of pc noise

also it has balanced out

i can use 6.3mm to 3.5mm and i get balanced

[quartz kayak]

Im gonna get a fiio k11 bcs thats pretty much endgame for iems

[civic arch]

i would have got a headphone amp if i found a good one at the same price

as the focusrite

but its nice to have phantom for xlr mic

that fiio could drive planars probably

1400mW

[median nova]

@civic cloud What chair do you have at home

imagine it's a gaming chair

[quaint helm]

trust me he either gonna say ikea or some chair that cost more than 500$

[brave field]

I have, somehow, talked myself into trying to get 10gbit lan for under $100

[rapid lake]

Are you sure that's physically possible without robbery

You might need to pull a heist on the nearest networking equipment shop

[civic cloud]

secret lab titan evo xl 2022

had some ikea chair before

[lost fossil]

to the edge of the universe and back

[brave field]

well, I'm seeing NICs that are super cheap

but switches are not! But if I look at 2.5gb or 5gb, the NICs triple in price (and switches are still high)

so uhhh... maybe if I can find a super old switch to match the super old NICs

[lost fossil]

it's like printers and cartridges

[brave field]

These old 100M/1G/10G NICs can't negotiate 2.5 or 5, so they suck paired with modern 1G/2.5G/5G hardware. Gotta do 10gbit everything, which is still looking pretty cheap compared to 2.5gbit everything

[rapid lake]

Buy HM Aeron C size for your fat ass

I found a really nice chair for under 300 btw
Sihoo M18/M57

[civic cloud]

Tall*

[rapid lake]

It has its problems though

[civic cloud]

and ur so mean

[civic cloud]

Don't we all

[rapid lake]

True

[civic cloud]

What are the problems

[rapid lake]

The aeron lowkey looks sexy asf but from what I watched it's not very comfortable

[rapid lake]

Well

The armrests for one are plastic so your arms slip

And they can only be adjusted vertically

It only reclines about like 120 degrees, and the headrest + lumbar doesn't adapt so you have to adjust it yourself

The tension knob for the recliner is under the seat so it's awkward to adjust

That's abou tit

[upbeat spade]

it's comfortable if you're normal

it wouldn't be one of the most popular chairs in the planet if it weren't

but if you're the height of master chief like gauss is, the chair probably won't suit you well

[rapid lake]

It's too stiff, and the plastic edges make it impossible to sit any way other than "normal"

[upbeat spade]

yeah, that's the one thing about hm's chairs

you sit in a certain posture and it's good

you deviate from it and it's not great

[rapid lake]

Yeah that too, I think the C size would be perfect height-wise

But depth wise it would poke into my knees hard

[upbeat spade]

if you don't like to sit normally, the chair that i have is specifically designed for sitting weirdly

[rapid lake]

The embody doesn't have that issue

It's like that really hyped up chair

omni something

[rapid lake]

[upbeat spade]

knoll generation

https://www.knoll.com/shop/en_ca/home-office-ergonomic-work-chairs/generation-chair-by-knoll/1093.html

though mine is a version without swivel arm rests, instead they're padded on the inside so that they serve as back rests

so i can literally sit sideways in the chair comfortably

the back is flexible with the intention that when you're sitting sideways, you can push your arm down on it and it'll become an arm rest

[rapid lake]

You didn't buy it for that price though did you

[upbeat spade]

absolutely not

never buy an office chair for brand new price

[rapid lake]

I could design and build my own one from scratch for cheaper lmao

[civic cloud]

Bad

[civic cloud]

Ok wait you can adjust it

Good

[rapid lake]

I'm not sure if the m57 has 3d adjustments

but like for $200 what can u expect

[civic cloud]

Wait why is your sudaahlah now

[upbeat spade]

ya sudahlah

[civic cloud]

That is sick

Take my money

[rapid lake]

Oh yeah they are adjustable

[upbeat spade]

i think you might be too tall for this chair though

[civic cloud]

😩

Short people have it so much easier

Economy feels like business class for u

@rapid lake have you moved yet

[civic cloud]

Goddamn 2.5k

[upbeat spade]

yea so i bought mine for like 250

[upbeat spade]

i'm not that short

i wish

[civic cloud]

Both of these look kinda cheap but i cant put my finger on it why

Maybe the chrome legs

[civic cloud]

Damn what a steal

Have you considered a ball instead? Cheap and ergonomic because it lets you sit ✨ dynamically✨ @rapid lake

[upbeat spade]

i don't think i could sit on balls

it's hard

[civic cloud]

This could be you, including the beard and the 7/8 skinny pants

[upbeat spade]

that desk looks miserable

[civic cloud]

It does

[upbeat spade]

sorta thing you buy from ikea to put in your 9 year old kid's room

[civic cloud]

You already know the whole desk weighs 2kg in total

[upbeat spade]

you could axe kick it and it would crumple

[civic cloud]

Eh i mean the cardboard stuff is surprisingly strong

Dont spill water on it once it has a crack tho

[upbeat spade]

the thing is coming off my ikea desk

the uhh

edge

[civic cloud]

D:

What have you done with it

[upbeat spade]

i used it for too long

[civic cloud]

Probably gooned onto it

Nasty

[upbeat spade]

wtf

i don't goon

[civic cloud]

Do you have normal big box hardware stores in your city? They usually sell real wood desks for quite cheap

[upbeat spade]

i don't think so

[civic cloud]

Like 180x80 for 120€

In that case you need to continue suffering with your ikea desk

[upbeat spade]

yea.

[civic cloud]

:(

[upbeat spade]

[civic cloud]

Ill pity you while i build my own bed soon™

[upbeat spade]

it took me like four years to get a bed frame

i just put my mattress on the floor instead

significantly easier to change bed sheets, just gotta vacuum more frequently

[civic cloud]

Girl what

Why

And why did it take you so long to get one if you have access to ikea

Their cheapest frame is like 200

[upbeat spade]

the frame i had before this was ikea

i think my heater melted the resin in the wooden bed slats, which happened to be two pieces of wood glued together in the center

so the bed slats cracked

and my room is like the length of most beds so it's very much a pain in the ass to build any furniture in there

[civic cloud]

wth

[civic cloud]

Do you have access to other rooms?

Honestly if you have no space id just slap some euro palettes down and call it a day

Or just two boards on the side and some slats across it

Cheap and can be built in a tight space

[upbeat spade]

palettes wtf

honestly i thought about getting like, a tatami mat and a futon

but i don't really think there's much of a difference between that and just putting the mattress on the floor

[upbeat spade]

nah, they gave the tallest person the smallest room

fr

fucked up

[civic cloud]

Idk, im too german to consider that comfy

[civic cloud]

That IS fucked up, you should sue your parents

[civic cloud]

Normal for students??? Cheap and sturdy

[upbeat spade]

think that's not a thing here

[upbeat spade]

what's wrong with the floor 😦

funnily enough, for about a month after building my current bed frame i kept waking up extremely early

probably because i wasn't used to sleeping so close to the window, now the outdoor light shines directly on me when i'm sleeping

[rapid lake]

Bro what

I don't know if we'll live to see tomorrow yet

[civic cloud]

ugh

lil dramatic, dont you think

[upbeat spade]

damn he's just like me except his sources are external instead of internal

[rapid lake]

come here

don't be dramatic

[civic cloud]

Let me check if lebanon is on the list of countries im not allowed to travel to

[civic cloud]

Get curtains?????

[upbeat spade]

yeah that's on the list

[rapid lake]

Ofc it is

[civic cloud]

It really do be

Sorry bbg

Cant risk my security clearance

[upbeat spade]

my curtains are some shitty cloth that lets the light in, i've been meaning to get blackout ones but i don't really want to drill into the wall

[upbeat spade]

1984

[civic cloud]

Why? Its easy to fix a hole in the wall and blackout curtains are cheap (at ikea)

[civic cloud]

Oh i could still go, its just more effort

[rapid lake]

It do be like that

[upbeat spade]

cuz i suck at putting holes into things and making them level

and because i'm lazy and would rather suffer

[lost fossil]

better suck at putting holes into things than the other way around...

[lost fossil]

it only has to be more or less level don't ask how i know

[civic cloud]

But youre a guy

[civic cloud]

Bro

[upbeat spade]

yea

[upbeat spade]

it'll be too low and i'll get mad enough to put another hole into the wall and it'll be too high

like me

[civic cloud]

Dont play league

[upbeat spade]

im just scared of putting holes in things

how about you come and do it for me

[rapid lake]

oof

didn't know they came with those gpus

[turbid relic]

Aint upgrading until gta 6 is released officially

[rapid lake]

anyways if that fixed it then I'd say just leave it as is and if it does it again update drivers/reinstall if you're already on latest

or go back to older drivers

[turbid relic]

Yea it started again

[turbid relic]

Yea Ill do that

So I download from the nvidia panel right ?

[rapid lake]

Yes

The nvidia app

[turbid relic]

Aight

Thanks for the help

[quaint helm]

novideo

[lost fossil]

use ddu to do the cleanest uninstall and then do a clean install

none of that nvidia panel stuff

you might have to download drivers from the lenovo website

[turbid relic]

They are notoriously vague

They usually don’t have the latest drivers

[turbid relic]

Aight Ill do that

[rapid lake]

ngl ddu was confusing asf

[quaint helm]

my friend's laptop used to have this issue too (also from lenovo) i just help him DDU and install nvidia driver thats all (via anydesk)

[quaint helm]

more cheaper than ram 100% trust 🤓

[rapid lake]

wasn't ram getting cheaper

where's the cheap ram

[civic cloud]

Fair enough

[snow fiber]

Out of stock

[rapid lake]

sigh

[snow fiber]

How long do you think the ram situation will last

[rapid lake]

At least 2 more years

[snow fiber]

My guess is one more year

[rapid lake]

Whenever the major AI companies' contracts with the major RAM companies end

[snow fiber]

Late 2027

[snow fiber]

Ai companies need to make enough money to pay for ram as well while maintaining the profit

[rapid lake]

They're not making any profit

[snow fiber]

So the contract won't mean much

[rapid lake]

But investors are still investing

[snow fiber]

Claude is making the profit

Openai in the other hand.....

[rapid lake]

Are they

Last I checked they still hadn't broken even

[snow fiber]

They also made an insanely strong model recently

I forgot the name

[snow fiber]

Could it be because of source code leak?

[rapid lake]

Idk I might be wrong tbh

They're private though so they can't be wasting too much money

Unless they decide to go public and sell half the company to keep it alive

But it seems like they're gonna stay private for now

[snow fiber]

Good for them

[quaint helm]

imagine DR6 go towards consumer first then AI company no matter what

[rapid lake]

Ngl ion really care for ddr5, if only am5 was compatible with ddr4

the performance boost is not significant enough to be worth the money for a mid range build

Where do I get a 2.5 sata SSD for cheap rn everything is expensive

[snow rover]

define "cheap"

[ivory frost]

Under 100

Everything is 100+ rn

They used to be like a year or two ago as little as 30 something

If u can find lower than 80 I’d be happy

[snow rover]

i mean, used good 1tb drives are under that locally

[ivory frost]

I wouldn’t get used with drives

They get worn because of rewrites

Depending on what used them

[snow rover]

of course, but manufacturers have specs for tbw and you can see the info for used drives

[ivory frost]

Ok cool! This one I found has 99% health

Hopefully they aren’t lying

They have 100% positive on ebay

[quaint helm]

~~dm them and ask them to show the crystaldisk page if u dont trust the % health ~~

[ivory frost]

They got this showing

I think that’s what u mean

[quaint helm]

ok good 99% 👏

[snow rover]

this is basically new

[quaint helm]

'power on hours : 36' thats VERY VERY new

[snow rover]

samsung rates the 500gb drive for 300 tbw

[ivory frost]

Awesome

[ivory frost]

The ones I found with health pictures included are around 65

[snow fiber]

65% health?

[ivory frost]

Dollars

[snow fiber]

ok

looks good to me

[ivory frost]

Or should I contact the sellers selling for 30+ and ask for health pictures

Because there’s a shit ton of listings

But 65 isn’t terrible

Lowest i actually found is 45 so I think that’s good

[ivory frost]

Alr this seller has 99.4% 3386 positive reviews

What we thinking

[quaint helm]

ur choice most of the time

[wary pawn]

I would ask for Smart details, disk tests etc.

[ivory frost]

The one I’m looking at has the CrystalDisk info shown

[wary pawn]

You can still ask device details to be sure, if you are not getting it directly (ie after checking yourself).

I hope you won't find a cucumber in the box.

[ivory frost]

What do you mean by smart details?

[wary pawn]

CrystalDisk show them

IF you meant to say "device details", then i meant devmgmt entries, disk connected to the pc and speed tests done etc.

[wary pawn]

Looks new.

Laptop cooling pad sir

[spring fulcrum]

Or maam

[lost fossil]

p sure anything with an alright rating will do

idk about mice and i might become a laughing stock for mentioning this but I got a vxe r1 se not too long ago and I like it quite a bit

[ivory frost]

This is weird. It’s showing this price but when I enter the site the product doesn’t show up. Amazing if true I contacted dell support and they said to just keep checking back because they are trying to fix it

[spring fulcrum]

I'm from India so could u suggest SMTH from Amazon or stuff coz I'm really confused
Like SMTH that can give me 8-10 degrees cooler stuff

Ill use a cheaper mouse, that doens't matter tbh

[lost fossil]

idk man I don't even have a laptop... but I see some offerings with very small cutouts, those should definitely be avoided. you need something with a mesh across the whole surface

[lost fossil]

that vxe is very cheap

[rapid lake]

@lost fossil Is your mousepad larger than 90x40 cm

I can't seem to find one larger than this but it's too small

I want more of a desk pad

[lost fossil]

it is

120x60

[rapid lake]

Where did you find this gem

[nova steppe]

Also, if the laptop is at least a few years old (like 3, 4+), it wouldn't hurt to replace the thermal paste if you're comfortable with opening up your laptop and doing such.

[twin badger]

Can attest, used drives can be good deal, if you know what you are buying

[quaint helm]

man i straight up avoid those laptop cooler and went for a heatsink cubes lul

[quaint helm]

it will hurt if u still have warrenty

[nova steppe]

most laptop warranties don't last that long

[quaint helm]

mine got 2 year only lol

[nova steppe]

i just change power plans/lower resolution while just propping up the laptop so that it has better access to fresh air for better temps

I had Trust GXT 278. Was working, but also a little noisy.

[quaint helm]

i paid full price for gpu , i have to use it fully

You do realize that means going above your refresh rate and more heat more power being drawn

Basically burning your gpu for no reason

if it's cheap enough you can just replace them every now and then
