Only if you want 1 solid piece, check glued pieces (Leimholzplatte in german) where the company glues together a bunch of slats to make one bigger slat

[rapid lake]

nein

[civic cloud]

That way you get the benefit of actual fully solid real wood and cheap price

[rapid lake]

He sent me this as an example of steel legs with wooden desktop

[civic cloud]

Dont make me call you the B word

[civic cloud]

lovely hospital vibe

Should have made the desktops white as well

[quaint helm]

buddy

[civic cloud]

And i can see the cover for cable management right there

So why are you saying it doesnt come with one

[rapid lake]

Because I kinda don't want one

Aesthetically it's not very pleasing

[civic cloud]

You JUST said you want one

[rapid lake]

But cables aren't either

[civic cloud]

Spend 5 quid on some cable management channels

[rapid lake]

I can't find any like the one you have lol

Also

[civic cloud]

wdym, they are literally dropshipped from aliexpress

[rapid lake]

The steel one is $250, wooden is $90

[civic cloud]

rip off for the steel version

[rapid lake]

I can get a standing desk for $320 so

[civic cloud]

I can buy those exact legs for 80€ and a melamine plate in that size for ~50

[quaint helm]

galvanized steel? 💀

[rapid lake]

It do be like that

[civic cloud]

Would you actually use the standing mode?

[rapid lake]

He keeps saying it comes with 3 drawers and I keep telling him I don't want those

[civic cloud]

[rapid lake]

This guy is actually dumb

[rapid lake]

Well, no

[civic cloud]

Dont buy a standing desk then

Idot

[rapid lake]

And standing desks wobble I heard

[civic cloud]

Yes unless you pay big bucks

[rapid lake]

I'm putting into perspective

That it's too expensive

[civic cloud]

The ones at the office are very solid but they also cost a grand

[lost fossil]

based?

[civic cloud]

No

[lost fossil]

[quaint helm]

a bum

[rapid lake]

I shall continue looking then

Or cope and get the wooden one

[civic cloud]

You shall do so

[civic cloud]

Dont

[quaint helm]

just go ikea ez

[rapid lake]

I can always shop the legs off and get steel legs right

[civic cloud]

You have the chance to curate a perfectly pretty room/apartment since youre starting from 0

I mean yeah

[rapid lake]

True...

We'll see what happens

I have no job rn

[civic cloud]

Fr, if you mount the desk to the wall it feels way studier too

[rapid lake]

I'm looking for a job

[civic cloud]

Ugh, typical

[rapid lake]

why is it so hard to find a job

[civic cloud]

Dont know, cant relate

[rapid lake]

When I did have a job I'd see job offers all the time

like tf

[quaint helm]

too old to relate

[civic cloud]

too unfireable

[rapid lake]

Those legs can dance ballet

[quaint helm]

[rapid lake]

Btw

I sat on an office chair with lumbar support

[quaint helm]

30$ , 100$ , 250$ and 35$

[rapid lake]

It felt like I was in heaven for a second

[civic cloud]

wew

[rapid lake]

I also tried this one and it was nice, I'll probably grab it later

[civic cloud]

Is it that easy to impress u?

[civic cloud]

Non adjustable arm rests

Non adjustable lumbar support

Bad

[rapid lake]

No I just been sitting on a solid wooden chair for a month

Not good for your back

[rapid lake]

It's a $60 chair bro

$50 even

You have a gaming chair

You got no right to speak buddy

[civic cloud]

My gaming chair has adjustable arm rests and adjustable lumbar support

[rapid lake]

It has an ugly ass pillow not lumbar support

and it looks cringe

[civic cloud]

Are you dumb?

The pillow is the lil headrest

The lumbar support is integrated and can be adjusted in height and depth by two knobs

[rapid lake]

The lumbar support on gaming chairs is usually a pillow too

[civic cloud]

Yes on 100€ gaming chairs

This wasnt 100€

[rapid lake]

cope

[civic cloud]

nah

@rapid lake do i need anything else for my exam on Saturday

Thats my overview notes so i dont have to look stuff up in the lecture

And also math basics because math 101 was long ago

[quaint helm]

ugh matrix

illegal

[rapid lake]

I've been looking for this

lmao

Good luck

[civic cloud]

i can never remember that shit

same for what cos and sin is

[rapid lake]

I've seen those formulas on the left somewhere

[civic cloud]

duh, ive shown them to you before

[rapid lake]

Imma graduate and forget everything

[rapid lake]

true...

[civic cloud]

you dont need to graduate to forget everything, you just need to pass the exam

ive basically deleted all knowledge as soon as i walked out the door

[rapid lake]

[civic cloud]

"what did you have on b)" fuck do i know dude

[rapid lake]

Those nerds

Arguing about answers after the exam

[civic cloud]

fr

[rapid lake]

Oh I know where I've seen that

Mechanics 1

[civic cloud]

yes good old Massenträgheitsmomente

[rapid lake]

The different uh coordinates or whatever

polar cylindrical etc

that shit was so confusing

[rapid lake]

say what now

these germans

something with mass and momentum

[civic cloud]

Massenträgheitsmoment

[rapid lake]

wait why are you taking this

shouldn't you be done already

[civic cloud]

this is for machine dynamics

you need rotation and translatory movement for lagrange

[rapid lake]

derivatives intensify

[quaint helm]

staph

[rapid lake]

This was actually so cancer to study

Good luck, you will need it

You're gonna fail miserably like you did last time You're gonna ace the exam

[civic cloud]

you get 80% of the points for figuring out the movement formula

the rest is the hard stuff

[rapid lake]

right

getting the 20 different velocities

and the corresponding accerlation

[civic cloud]

you lil shit, i actually practiced this time and got 86 and 97 of 100 points on the practice tasks (still waiting for the grade on the last one)

[rapid lake]

W

[civic cloud]

first one was only so bad because i misread one task that got me -5 points

[rapid lake]

What's the passing grade

[civic cloud]

50

[marsh saffron]

what am i looking at

[rapid lake]

ez then

[civic cloud]

i had 45 and 48 on my first two tries

[rapid lake]

Damn

48

[civic cloud]

i should have fought that grade

[rapid lake]

They should've let that shit pass

[civic cloud]

fr

[rapid lake]

They want your money

[civic cloud]

im not paying more

you pay for 3 years

not for passing a certain number of classes

anyway with the switch and having to retake some exams i i have exactly 6 months to sign up and write my master thesis

and those 6 months include a 1month vacation

[rapid lake]

-2 months gauss redesigning his house for the 50th time

[civic cloud]

HEY

rude

[rapid lake]

So what are you gonna do for master thesis

[civic cloud]

well i already had a ~30 page assignment about sensors for self driving cars

and the same prof offers that topic for master thesis

so ill just write 80 pages about sensors for self driving cars

[rapid lake]

You just have to write

Oh it's just a thesis

[civic cloud]

its an online uni, the fuck else am i supposed to do

i dont have a lab

[rapid lake]

Well

[civic cloud]

and i have a fulltime job so i cant just go somewhere

[rapid lake]

Here you have to actually engineer something

And then write 80 pages about it

And present it in front of some judges

[civic cloud]

skill issue if you have to engineer and write 80 pages, my bachelor thesis was engineering+20 pages

[civic cloud]

i probably have to do that as well, let me check

[rapid lake]

What did you make

[civic cloud]

housing for a car brake test setup

they wanted to measure the particle emssions from braking

[rapid lake]

Particle emissions

Like, brake dust?

[civic cloud]

yeah

[rapid lake]

Cool

[civic cloud]

electric cars only have brake and tyre emissions basically

so the focus on that is growing

[rapid lake]

That's interesting

[civic cloud]

yeah i have to hold a presentation at the end as well

[lost fossil]

oreo can only dream of handwriting this good

even if this is bad handwriting (which it isn't)

[civic cloud]

i was writing slowly so i can still read this shit during the exam

[lost fossil]

feel that?

that's

[rapid lake]

You can bring notes with you?

[civic cloud]

[upbeat spade]

they had me in the first half

[civic cloud]

Can i have you in the other half?

[quaint helm]

and gaoose will be ur another half

[spare relic]

Will frame gen be the standard for gaming

[civic cloud]

Most likely yes because many companies will force their devs to produce games faster by skipping optimization

[nova steppe]

Trending to "Unfortunately so."

[spare relic]

So to get stable 60 fps we need frame gen with 100ms input lag and artifacting amd is sleeping on high end gpus

[civic cloud]

Yes

[spare relic]

[quaint helm]

for those 4k user yeah

[snow fiber]

Blame game developers

[civic cloud]

Just to mention it: Factorio has been ultra optimized over the past decade and runs perfectly fine on even the lowest hardware

You should support good devs by buying their game

@rapid lake buy factorio

WORLDWIDE CRACKDOWN ON VPNs BEGINS

🇪🇺 EU Executive Vice President Henna Virkkunen is pushing limits on VPN use, warning new age and ID systems must not be bypassed.

Utah becomes the first 🇺🇸 US state to target VPNs under age verification laws starting May 6, 2026.

Websites can

X · May 2, 2026, 11:28 AM

[snow fiber]

i mean most vpns dont really care about your privacy much

idk about paid ones

warning new age and ID systems must not be bypassed. this seems like scummy move

[snow rover]

you can't just ban vpns

i mean you can in writing but not in practice

[spare relic]

Waaaait a minute they making a game called witcher 4 on unreal engine 5 they said the amount of optimization will revolutionize gaming

[civic cloud]

Its the usual "we need surveillance to protect children!!!1!1!" Bullsh8t

[tame current]

The purpose of gov't surveillance on internet is to protect themselves from us

It's for their own safety, not ours

[quaint helm]

uk how cooked UE5 is right? if they say optimization most of the time is DLSS + FG stuff 💀

[civic arch]

damn speaker soundstage

is so nice

headphones lowkey suck

[wary pawn]

Who is the mastermind of this bs? Every country thinks this is right thing to do.

[rapid lake]

Actually it's really fairly priced

[civic cloud]

its very fairly priced and will never be on sale

[wary pawn]

Some games never go 95%.

[quaint helm]

what kind of discount is this lmao

[rapid lake]

lol

WW2

[civic cloud]

so after reading more into this: ragebait

at least for the EU part

[tawny totem]

Hi

[civic cloud]

they are rolling out an EU made age verification app that Meta and co must implement

and the lady just mentions that they will look at the ways these verifications can be circumvented in the future

which is wildly different from "we will ban VPNs"

[tawny totem]

Hii

[civic cloud]

the french guy linked in that twitter post is also some extreme right wing cunt and calls for frexit over this lmao

i dont speak french but if the second post i see is about elon you know the profile is fucked up

https://www.reuters.com/world/eu-age-verification-app-ready-europe-moves-curb-childrens-social-media-access-2026-04-15/

here something that isnt "bitcoinnews" on twitter

they talk about VPN in the last few sentences

[rapid lake]

Something something big win for elon and the UK is being forced to do something something

That's about as good as my french gets these days

[civic cloud]

good enough to know its a delulu person

[quaint helm]

delulu is the solulu

They're ok

melon did u see arctic's new fan

[crisp rune]

good deal? eh
$1090 usd

[quaint helm]

thats... 121990 rupee(?) right

[snow fiber]

Yes

₹ = INR (Indian National Rupee)

[quaint helm]

that decimal point is weird

why 2 of them

[nova steppe]

They're fine™. Just make sure there's a gap under them because the feet are too short for good airflow

[snow fiber]

It's not decimal

[snow fiber]

What you will be using it for

[quaint helm]

ok two commas weird af

[snow fiber]

It's not standardized.
I don't know the origins nor the background of it.
Some countries use commas like this
1,00,00,000 (10mil)
And some like this
10,000,000 (10mil)

It's not a big deal

[quaint helm]

okok back to real question

[quaint helm]

what will u use it for

[snow fiber]

Microsoft paint and word

[quaint helm]

[snow fiber]

i7 13gen might not be sufficient , it will be fuming smoke after trying to load the application

[rapid lake]

It’s normal here

[civic cloud]

, and . are switched in german

[snow fiber]

I really hate when commas are referred as decimals . Makes it so confusing

[crisp rune]

vide editing, gaming, modelling and all

[snow fiber]

Looks like gpu, ram , storage is the main priority

You are basically asking for a desktop tbh

[quaint helm]

do u move it around?

if no i suggest get a desktop instead

[quaint helm]

wonder how bad is india's ram crisis

[snow fiber]

Found a ddr5 stick at 19k inr (200usd) with 5200Mhz at amazon

Which phone model by Motorola is worth buying as a replacement phone?

[brave field]

moto edge plus, if only they continued it! Might be good used

Maybe the razr+ if you don't mind a flip phone

[lost fossil]

razr v3

[lost fossil]

speaking of razr v3 i was discombobulated a bit when i discovered how thick the razr v3-inspired moto flip smartphone was

[brave field]

The modern replica weird one ~2019 or so?

[lost fossil]

https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_razr_5g-10410.php

oh oh oreo, have you run into any 10th gen Intel ES chips?

[lost fossil]

i never looked for them really so no
look at the bottom of the first table here https://e5450.com/socket-1151/protsessory-mutanty-dlya-soketa-1151/

as for es specifically, i only remember seeing some combo mobos like that one that i have

https://e5450.com/socket-1200/all-es-versions/

[brave field]

e5450.com, its been a while!

[uneven heron]

I see them for sale on eBay but they all from china why

Rather not have flip

Would consider original Motorola razer from 2004 as a laugh tbh

[brave field]

no clue why China. Mayhap someone went crazy doing the boost mobile fraud thing and got carrier unlock codes from there

[uneven heron]

I just want a phone under £200 tbh rather no switch to Apple

Was suggested Motorola

[brave field]

If you're in the US, it's pretty hard. All the good budget choices got banned or went out of business suddenly at the same time

[rapid lake]

You don’t want an iPhone?

[brave field]

definitely buy an older flagship off the used market

[uneven heron]

Not getting a 15 under 200

[snow rover]

for that price you're getting a 2020 se

[uneven heron]

Just need a phone not fancy gadgets or AI anything

Wireless charging compatible would be nice to have

[brave field]

Any carrier restrictions? Most prepaid carriers should offer you something with 1-2 months of service and an unlock after a year

I bet some kid wants newest nvidia card and he finally has enough money, just for the 6050 to release

I'd feel so bad

But if I was him or her, I'd get myself the 6050 instead of 5090

Ddr5 ram is like tax, tax is like a deadly parasite, a deadly parasite is not cheap, not cheap = guilt, guilt = anger and anger leads to the dark side.

Whoever calls her a Skywalker kinda is a annoying guy

True, Palpatine hardware. Skywalker was just the cosmetic skin.

The sequels to the Star Wars series are an unholy act of arrogance.

They should have brought season 4 out for The Mandalorian instead

The existence of the sequels alone are the most stupid thing that could have happened

Palpatine the setup. Skywalker the temu rgb to glue onto.

Why am i paying 6€ for water with syrup and ice? Scam!

Because im a thirsty boy and it was a hipster place

They also gave me pepsi when i asked for cola

Brutal

[rapid lake]

How is this related to tech coding or math?

[civic cloud]

Im questioning the math behind a businesses choice to have pepsi instead of cola

[snow rover]

pepsi is a type of cola

so what is the issue, you got what you asked for

damn i want a steam controller

looks awesome for some games

also has a dongle

some games would really benefit from the touchpads

snowrunner has some issues on controller and needs to use mouse

it has all the features in one somehow???

god the ram prices

[lyric grail]

ikr

[snow rover]

i paid 25% of that for faster ram back in the day

[lyric grail]

but I have ddr4 ram atm

so need to upgrade

but that setup should last a few years

[lyric grail]

64gb is about £700

[rapid lake]

Nice

Still the same question though, why the 9900x

[lyric grail]

because I can

[rapid lake]

And then a 16 pound cooler with that

[lyric grail]

yep

[rapid lake]

You can also get a 7800x3D, but why did you choose the 9900x

[rapid lake]

You don’t cool a cpu worth 400 with an air cooler that’s worth 16

[snow rover]

why not

i have a peerless assassin on a 7800x3d

granted that's worth about 16x2

[rapid lake]

Pearless assassin is the goat

This is a single tower with 4 heat pipes

Might aswell use the stock amd cooler

[snow rover]

9900x does not come with one

[lyric grail]

[quaint helm]

sff wtf

why.......

ur mobo is atx ur case is atx and u bought a sff card

[lyric grail]

I did not know what sff means

[lyric grail]

it was one of the cheaper ones

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-5080-gaming-oc-16gb-gddr7-pci-express-graphics-gra-gig-04127.html
this one to be exact

[quaint helm]

mmmmm this one nice very beefy

[lyric grail]

also thanks for pointing it out, I would not have noticed.

[quaint helm]

might as well change to a more beefy cooler lmao

that shit gonna struggle

[rapid lake]

I’m sure he knows what he’s doing

[lyric grail]

[quaint helm]

👃

[civic arch]

sff cards are cute af

the 5070 sff is so smoll

do you even sacrificie any performance

they are so efficient

[lyric grail]

idk but its only about a £50 diffrence so mught as well get the full size 5080

[civic arch]

i might get a sff in the future

for a small pc

still using my 7800xt

its a beast even today for 1440p

big ass card tho

[lyric grail]

yea, I play 4k and my 3080ti is struggling with current games

[civic arch]

its so thicc cuz i have arctic p12 fans on it

[lyric grail]

so you know its gonna struggle with gta6

[civic arch]

i played some 4k on tv too it was fine

i think 3080 ti is close to a 7800xt

modern games might be utilized better on the 7800xt tho

[quaint helm]

50$ for bigger heatsink is very good lol

[quaint helm]

i bet u can notice a 1-2 degree diff during stresstest lol

[rapid lake]

What if you stripped the sff heatsink and slapped a bunch of old server heatsinks with P12s on them

[quaint helm]

hmmmmmmmm i might as well AIO it

[nova steppe]

Even if he didn't change it, it's just nvidia's spec for SFF anyway. It's still still a triple-fan card. As long as it has a cool supply of air, it would have been fine

[quaint helm]

wait forgot to say , that comment is to target the cpu cooler

[rapid lake]

Let him cook (literally)

[quaint helm]

he have multiple options lol assasin SE , dark rock pro 5 , royal pretor or LF3

[rapid lake]

@civic cloud Come solve this

[civic cloud]

haha

No

Just calculate every step

1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5

[rapid lake]

There's no data on the flow rate from 1 to 2, or 2 to 3

:3

[civic cloud]

Ok so your starting point is 2

Doesnt matter, you still calculate these steps

They said ideal gas

[rapid lake]

And

That's for the air

[civic cloud]

Yes

[rapid lake]

Hmm

I can get the heat transfer from the r22 to the air from 2 to 3

There isn't really 4 steps the diagram is dumb

It's just r22 through compressor, then heat transfer to the air

inside the condenser

[civic cloud]

Yes, pressure stays the same but temperature changes

[rapid lake]

I think I got it

[civic cloud]

Which means you can calculate the amount of r22 needed to call down your air

[civic cloud]

Yay :3

[rapid lake]

I was just confused by the stupid diagram

[quaint helm]

yessir cinebench r22

[civic cloud]

Thats fair

[civic cloud]

Shut up non engineer

[rapid lake]

true

[quaint helm]

at least i aint balding right

Neither of us is

@civic cloud did u do implant

[civic cloud]

No

[lost fossil]

nah let him get cooked

[lyric grail]

[civic arch]

so how does this keep happening

why do games get leaked

is it issue from steam end ?

ds2 now forza horizon 6 got leaked?

[next pike]

Wait what? What did I miss about ds2?

[civic arch]

i think death stranding 2 also got leaked

before release

like a week

[next pike]

Oh okay

[civic arch]

like you could download it

for free

[next pike]

Damn

[civic arch]

or torrent

oh its not blocked

[next pike]

Usually it's an insider job with social engineering

[civic arch]

i think it has happened alot more than 2 games tho

[next pike]

It's very rarely a "hacking" project

[civic arch]

apparently they pushed some preload files and did not encrypt them

[next pike]

Usually someone who's close to the dev team just gets too curious

[civic arch]

so you could just play it

idk just funny

why pay to play early when you can torrent to play -1 week from launch

its stupid expensive for a game too

100€

i hope hawktua introduce the fanless aio on q2

[tame current]

I'll try

[civic arch]

are wireless mouse less good than wired ones?

i feel like the sensor on my wireless one is like slower

or the sensitivity feels inconsistant when doing super small movement

sensor trying to save power?

[civic cloud]

No, only if you have a shit one

[civic arch]

it has 3950 sensor so it should be fine

maybe its just shitty

the op1 8k has a worse sensor but feels more consistant

when doing micro

better use of the sensor idk??

3955 is like small difference like no 30k dpi or 70g accerelation

[dreamy kraken]

[civic arch]

is it better than phanteks t30

that fan is still super good

3k rpm and 30mm thicc means alot of flow

have 2 on my aio and it blows so much air

i never run over 1k rpm tho so the extra headroom is useless

[quaint helm]

50$ per fan moment

[civic arch]

or get 95% of the performance by buying cheap fans

arctic p12 are weirdly quiet for the pric

no weird resonance when on my gpu

is that a supradesign?

Are you done with exams

Finally an engineer?

[civic cloud]

ive been an engineer since i finished my bachelor in 2022 babe

[rapid lake]

That doesn't count

[civic cloud]

it does

[rapid lake]

maybe in Germany

[civic cloud]

you can legally call yourself an engineer in germany if you have a finished degree in engineering

[rapid lake]

But elsewhere no one's calling you an engineer if you just finished 3 years and got a bachelor

[civic cloud]

now youre just making shit up

[rapid lake]

that's how it is

[civic cloud]

sure bb

[quaint helm]

zenbook duo can do that too

[rapid lake]

Here you get a bachelorette of engineering if you're in a french uni, but you can't join the syndicate of engineers or do any enginnering work until you finish your 5 years
If you're in a uni with an american system, then you need to finish the necessary credits which usually takes 5 years, or 4 years if you take summer semester

[civic cloud]

skill issue

[rapid lake]

The french system is incredibly dumb thankfully I escaped it

[civic cloud]

ofc, its french

[rapid lake]

You take 11 courses in the first semester and you can't choose which

Second semester was like 9 courses, 3 of them being math

[civic cloud]

how many credits do you need in the american system, how many credits do you get per exam and how many "working hours" is one credit worth?

[rapid lake]

I think it depends from one uni to the other but the required amount by the ministry of education is something like 150 I think

[civic cloud]

why is it not standardized

[rapid lake]

I don't remember how much the credits are worth though, but most classes are 3 credits and labs are 1 credit

So it's about like 30 labs and 40 classes

[rapid lake]

german discovering life

[civic cloud]

its stupid to let each uni do its own thing, you will never properly be able to compare degress from different unis

[rapid lake]

There is a minimum I'm pretty sure but some Unis will have more classes like culture and extra english courses

And you're not gonna compare degrees based on amount of credits that's stupid

[civic cloud]

anyway here you need 180/210 ECTS for a Bachelor and 120/90 ECTS for a Masters (300 in total), each ETCS is worth 30 hours

[rapid lake]

900 hours

[civic cloud]

what if one uni gives you 6 credits per class and the other just 3? one student will have double the amount of classes done

[rapid lake]

It doesn't work like that

[civic cloud]

thats how you explained it

[civic cloud]

300x30 is not 900

[rapid lake]

They can do it that way but end of the day you have to acquire the same classes and topics etc
