i was planning to downsize my ssds anyway

#

rn i have to use a m.2 e key adapter to plug an ssd into the wifi m.2 slot

jovial tide
#

xD

brave field
#

great workaround really kek

cold elbow
#

U sound like a disaster

brave field
#

If you don't have an Intel AX200 to stuff the slot with, why not

cold elbow
#

Is it also held in place with zipties

lost fossil
#

it's held in place by a fan that goes there and prevents it from falling out

cold elbow
#

NZXT would be proud of you

brave field
#

ooooh, fancy

cold elbow
#

Heck even gigabyte

brave field
#

huge step up from the standard, folded over tape

#

beautiful work

jovial tide
#

Well if it works it works

#

There's nothing wrong with that

cold elbow
lost fossil
#

it's limited to x1 speed tho which is unfortunate

#

but it's qlc so it wasn't gonna reach even x2 speeds anyway

Because it may be seen as advertisement

jovial tide
#

@prisma charm is this against the rules?

brave field
#

That should be fine

#

What's being advertised?

near umbra
#

The channel?

jovial tide
#

I mean LinusTechTips is a well known figure streaming something important.

brave field
#

Its a link to an informational video in a relevant channel, no?

near umbra
#

That's why I wasn't sure

jovial tide
#

They are speaking about nature of anti cheats, linux anti cheats, possibility of person IDing for games.

brave field
#

I wonder how things apart from just gameplay will work with the more intrusive anti-cheats

#

Can't watch now, have they said anything about BattlEye only being able to read filenames in the WiNE folders or such?

#

Or EAC's ability/inability to see processes form other users?

jovial tide
#

They are not talking about specifics but different creative models of anticheats that can be used.

#

Screenscanners (AI based), person IDing, etc

brave field
#

ah

#

I'm hoping the general Linux community gets as toxic as possible about the intrusive parts of BattlEye, the growing number of anti-cheats that read browser history and such, anything with equivalent permissions to NT AUTHORITY, and the likes

#

Hopefully that stuff is sandboxed/containerized to death and Maplestory2/Genshin/Valorant sort of anticheats don't have the power to completely wipe your OS, while still beingplayable

jovial tide
#

So they are saying, they won't mind it if it's on a gaming device like SteamDeck. Luke even goes as far as I really have nothing private on my pc so I'm not sure, but I'm so tempted to give it up.

brave field
#

grrrr Luke using the absolute worst counterargument to that as possible

jovial tide
#

They should make SteamOS the standard linux gaming version (anti cheat included)

#

Doing so will solve lots of problems. That NT authority level access won't ever be a problem.

kindred temple
#

@brave field @jovial tide would you 2 buy framework

brave field
#

the Framework laptop?

#

Far too expensive, and not as upgradeable as I'd like

jovial tide
brave field
#

but if it dropped to something like $100, sure

jovial tide
#

It's not bad Cookie

brave field
#

If socketed laptop CPUs made a return, and those small, replaceable GPUs came back, I might be all over it

jovial tide
#

1250 for these

#

plus aluminum body. not bad at all.

#

then you need to put a SN550 in it (they don't offer one) it adds up to 1200-1250

brave field
#

Not compared to other brand new laptops, just because we've come to accept paying over $1000 for a slightly above average display, no GPU, and bad storage

#

Its still too hard to justify imo

jovial tide
#

You can put anything you want in the storage. that's the point.

#

Like I would put SN550 you can put anything else you want.

brave field
#

All the moving and replaceable USB ports and such are more failure points, and you can get a used Thinkpad with 3 storage slots, a replaceable display, 9 cell battery, and a 20-30% multicore performance drop for $150

jovial tide
brave field
#

Don't get me wrong, its a super cool concept

#

but, it, and almost all current laptops, are just abysmal price-to-performance wise

jovial tide
#

yeah I know, it's like a laptop people buy to support a cause. failure point we'll have to see.

brave field
#

I mean, even that $900 one is just ridiculous

#

You're seriously going to offer someone 8gb of ram and 180gb of usable storage for the price of 4 to 5 PCs that do the same email checking and youtubing?

kindred temple
#

Mass produced brands will wins out above any indie electronic brands, cookie.

#

Thats how EoS works.

brave field
#

Well yeah, I get that, but the Acer, a mass produced option, sucks too. Things shouldn't be this way.

jovial tide
#

well easiest repaired laptop is a concept that's never been there before.

#

some desktop tinker type people will be into that for sure.

kindred temple
#

The best Indie v Mass Market imo is not in laptop honestly. Its in Sim Racing.

kindred temple
#

Honestly, yeah.

#

I never buy laptops for what it is i buy it for status symbol, showing what i stand for.

#

Because we all know that PC will trample over in its performance improvement

jovial tide
#

PES_TinFoilHat in that case I stand for the aliens

brave field
#

buying for what you stand for

jovial tide
#

I like this Alienware laptop. the bios is soo nice it's unbelievable.

#

If I was in US I would have probably bought legion.
1920USD (after 15% tax that is) for M15R6 is a bit overpriced monkaHmm

brave field
#

Where cheapskate users at

#

sorting by lowest price is the way to go

jovial tide
#

Well I did that last time and I ended up with A515-51G

#

15w hard CPU lock you can't do anything about, and horrible thermals.

brave field
#

$1000, owie

jovial tide
#

Cookie that A515-51G I bought for 850CAD for the total of 1150 I think (with bestbuy warranty and tax)

brave field
#

8250U, MX150, TN display, 8gb of ram, 256gb SSD, and a plastic body, interesting

jovial tide
#

Yeah that would have been 650USD but not good for gaming at all.

brave field
#

What really is the point of a gaming laptop?

#

All the OEMs actively fight against giving you a decent gaming experience, why is that?

jovial tide
#

Well you can still play mine sweeper on it KEKW

brave field
#

Its always a "Oh, we made the GPU throttle at idle, oops" or "Yeah, it can play games, but it isn't portable at all" with many of the OEMs, why?

jovial tide
#

Acer A515-51G was never a gaming laptop, the equivalent would have been Nitro 5 or Nitro 7 of that year. But still horrible power deliver, and thermal limit.

#

Well people have budget limits for laptops and they wanna sell more by any means necessary. Like if you want a 650-900$ laptop it's likely for you to get a Nitro 5.

brave field
#

Sorry for bad sentence structure and confuse, wasn't saying anything about the A515-51G's gaming ability, it just seems really overpriced to me. The gaming-focused ones always seem to get some non-gaming thing right and all the gaming things wrong

jovial tide
#

✅ Gaming name ✅ Discrete graphics card ✅ Last gen or 1 gen older CPU ✅ 8-16GB ram ✅ SSD

#

This sells a laptop easily, and yeah I'm talking generally.

kindred temple
#

.

#

.

jovial tide
#

Good points. But I still think because there is no way of comparing laptops easily on the internet.
Like a 3060/11600H laptop is not the same as another one. Laptops with similar specs aren't the same.

kindred temple
#

Its far more complicated than just slapping the review bits and bobs in a top of the line test rig.

brave field
#

I wish I had info on profit margins

#

I mean, even then, knowing their customers

#

they're still cutting enough corners to cut the prices in half and make profit, it feels

jovial tide
brave field
#

The salesperson telling you what things are worth is worthless though

#

Dell can put whatever they want in there as long as you buy it, no?

#

Its not like we can order soldered-on parts as an OEM and verify ourselves

kindred temple
#

GTAO Discord Computers, lets make it happen.

jovial tide
#

This is my invoice for example (Canadian $)

kindred temple
#

@ omar#0047 can we order 1000 Dell G5 with the patron money

brave field
#

yeah 16gb of ram 100% should not be 160 CAD for Dell themselves to order

jovial tide
#

Idk this is what they gave me.

brave field
#

lines up if that's the price they'd charge you to order it through them, but you can buy SODIMM cheaper yourself on Amazon

jovial tide
#

and this is what I got

kindred temple

😄

kindred temple
#

Tech companies invented onlyfans, the concept of having to pay a fuck ton of money just to get their attention

jovial tide
#

Hmm why is my GPU running at x8?

kindred temple
#

Because most laptop dont even have full 16

brave field
#

failure rates? How could someone get insider info on stuff like that, direct from the person making the decision to go with x8? Who specifically in the manu/design process decides which laptop PCB should offer its GPU a full x16?

jovial tide
#

well Cookie Dell releases all of those usually

jovial tide
#

Both board makers, and laptop makers have a say in this; then market itself (in addition to former experiences with sales) dictates what to get.

cold elbow
jovial tide
# cold elbow Your ram is cl22??

Yep, and there was no way to know before buying it. It seems like all of this laptop's rams are either x16 or x8 C22 @ 3200MHz or @ 3466 MHz

Can someone help me i think my laptop is broken?

jovial tide
fading comet
jovial tide
#

hold down the power button for a few seconds?

fading comet
#

Let let me try that

#

Ok thanks it works

jovial tide
#

should be ok after that hard reset

cold elbow
#

they probably some shit type with little individual chips

jovial tide
#

does it? it's not that bad

#

also, most non xmp laptop rams are like this.

cold elbow
#

we use at least 3200 cl 16 or 3600 cl 18

#

even laptops

#

at least it's Samsung

#

can u tinker with the timings?

jovial tide
#

no you can however put a xmp ram in if it's compatible and enable xmp.

#

but I couldn't find one in Dell's ram upgrades category so I have no idea.

cold elbow
#

what speed you are running now

jovial tide
#

kind of sad

#

3200MHz 22-22-22-52

cold elbow
#

well i guess that's alright for an intel machine

#

well i guess that's alright for an intel machine

jovial tide
#

I mean Ms. Melon it's not that bad let me show you

cold elbow
#

it just annoys me that machines like that gets mixed up with memory like that

#

it does not cost them a lot to use better memory

jovial tide
#

So it's intel's architecture
This board can't support more than 3466 I think, and is made for 11th gen CPUs
This is basically an enhanced HM570 chipset

iron lantern

thats terrible

#

3400 cl16 is mediocre at best

do you think this laptop is worth 1000$?

i would never buy an alienware anything

i would never war light up shoes eithr

cold elbow

not wise

cold elbow
jovial tide
iron lantern
#

but the thing is

#

if he wants people to buy

#

its gonna be in the 500~ range

cold elbow
#

bruh

#

500 for rtx 2060?

#

u crazy?

jovial tide
#

NotAnotherPatrick clearly doesn't know anything about laptops.

iron lantern
#

thats funny

#

i own a rtx 2060 i7 9th

#

alienware m17 r2

#

anything below r3/4 is hot garbage

#

especially with how long hes had that m15 plus how little of a lifespan alienware gets, 500 bucks is a reasonable price for a secondhand

#

nobody is going to spend 1k on a piece of crappy hardware that only has its price because of an alien logo when they could easily spend it on a pre-build and a 60 hz 1080p monitor especially during blackfriday

#

or cyber monday

jovial tide
#

900-1100$ Alienware R1 is not that bad I would buy if I didn't have a laptop

iron lantern
#

Why would u need an alienware laptop in the first place

#

the only reason someone would buy a secondhand alienware laptop is if they dont have the dedicated space for a full fledged desktop

#

and thats like already minimum

#

plus they could just get an all brand new asus laptop

jovial tide
#

not only you don't know much about laptops, you don't know much about people too. Sadge

iron lantern
#

if ur world is only about secondhands i cant help it but the bare minimum of people wants a semi-usable laptop when they could spend that 1k on a brand new laptop that they could use and do stuff with for those 5 years pepeLaughYou

cold elbow
#

Brand new laptop with a 1050 non Ti yes

#

Bravo

iron lantern
#

not only u tried to denounce my point but also u dont own a shitty alienware laptop that runs at 100 celcius watching youtube, who the hell wants that

#

only the most uninformed 5 yr old does that

jovial tide
#

Have you ever owned Alienware M15 (first gen)?

iron lantern
#

does anything below r3 have to do with that?

#

because r2 and r1 share the same problems

jovial tide
#

How do you know?

iron lantern
#

because ive gone through forums that is a common problem with an m17 r2 and its the same problems first gen m17 and m15 have

jovial tide
#

Well good job! internet warrior. like forums teach people everything.

iron lantern
#

oh now assume im going through 3rd party forums

#

oh no no no

#

dell forums

#

they address the heating

#

first hand users understand the problems of the first 2 generations of m17 and m15

#

they have rtx, cool, but they aren't cooled

#

the only thing they have are two losuy fans that just keeps the gpu at 50~ celcius

#

while not worrying about the cpu temps at all

jovial tide
#

here's the cooler you talk shit about

#

it's better than 95% of all Acer laptop coolers

iron lantern
#

while doing absolutely nothing

jovial tide
#

lol childish

iron lantern
#

see, this is the difference between an alienware fanboy and an actual alienware buyer

#

alienware are overpriced garbage

#

that requires multiple generation

#

to fix simple things

#

sure, good build quality

#

doesnt make up for poor performance for what specs it gets

jovial tide

listen, this look better than my M15 R6 on full load -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiKr01DthNI

lousy fans, literally no cooling what so ever

jovial tide
#

so much dogmatism omg
just because you see topics in a troubleshooting forum about high temps doesn't mean its faulty

iron lantern
jovial tide
#

That's a 2080

#

Ofcourse that cooler can't handle 2080

#

Was I talking about 2080?!?!

#

This video is exactly why they don't go higher than 3070 in new series

thats funny

#

dude, I was just saying I would buy that second hand if I didn't have a laptop. that's all.

iron lantern
#

Thats because u idolize alienware

It's not a bad deal for 1000$ and it has no cooling problems as is.

KEKW nope you think I am

ew

vapid grove
#

I've never seen someone get their panties so twisted about Alienware criticism before

#

Gaming laptops monkaHmm

kindred temple
#

Alienware laptops honestly do have some commendable stuff, but they aint no saint.

jovial tide
#

Idk man it's just a no brainer.

kindred temple
#

Because that applies to the Zephyrus series

jovial tide
#

If it's a good option, I would buy doesn't matter what.

iron lantern
#

alienware are a good option?

#

alienware doesnt even sell their earlier gen when newer gens come out

jovial tide
#

That laptop above isn't bad, yeah if I wanted to buy one second hand it would be an option.

iron lantern
#

plus alienware shit doesnt even last that long at good performance

jovial tide
#

See these are baseless claims

iron lantern
#

baseless?

jovial tide
#

Yep

iron lantern
#

im pretty sure the m15 r6 came out this year

#

and the m17 r2 came out

#

3 years?

jovial tide
#

2

iron lantern
#

approaching 3

jovial tide
#

So what to buy for 1000$ ?

iron lantern
#

and im already seeing its design flaws

#

save it up for an actual desktop build

jovial tide
#

lol

iron lantern
#

or buy a dell surface

#

or macbook air

jovial tide
#

remove the problem altogether nice solution

iron lantern
#

macbook air is fine for a laptop

jovial tide
#

yeah I don't really wanna comment on these

iron lantern
#

overpriced but def lasts way longer than 3 years

#

even the shit u throw at it, it still works

vapid grove
#

All I know is when I punch in M15 on Google, almost every result has 100°C somewhere in the text OkayChamp

jovial tide
#

KEKW trueeee

jovial tide
iron lantern
#

its not

kindred temple
#

Its not, yes

iron lantern
#

alienware has seen this trend of good build quality, good parts, but a mesh of all of them causes problems

#

because alienware designers are a bunch of interns just coming into the market

kindred temple
#

You need an actual large heat output to stress a cooling solution

jovial tide
#

every cooler dissipates some amount of heat maximum. they put a hotter gpu in it ofcourse it can't handle that.

iron lantern
#

i have a rtx 2060

#

and

#

it throttles

#

like mad

jovial tide
#

that would be overbuilding it @kindred temple (laptops)

#

that's the definition of overdesigning

kindred temple
#

And why would that matter?

#

Every enthusiast darlings are overengineered stuff.

iron lantern
#

hey

#

look at that toasty toasty cpu

jovial tide
#

lol

iron lantern

def could bake a pie

But u load a gaming laptop with junk like work its basically the same as getting a business laptop

same thing vice versa

u get a business laptop and fill it up with games

both are going to be slow

jovial tide
#

Bottleneck is just a term

#

You can play on a laptop with good power delivery, and mediocre everything else.

arctic yarrow
#

Every PC has a bottleneck, whether it be a GPU bottleneck, a CPU bottleneck, a RAM bottleneck, or a storage bottleneck.

#

As far as gaming goes, you generally want to aim for a GPU bottleneck.

#

Meaning your GPU is utilized fully or almost fully while your CPU is not fully utilized.

Express works without any problems but nord connects 1/100 times for me even after trying every protocol i think its just ISP's being a dick

Express has L2TP which is usually unblocked while nord doesn't; you can even connect most modem/routers to this vpn.

do they not support openvpn? What

why would you trash your computer? oh well

One reason would be better security, you should realize right now many AMD people are struggling with the new vulnerability that just came out.

Theres only 3 dell laptops that can run windows 11? Now I am really mad lol

What is on this one that I cant do it...

Idk you tell me, what does it say?

jagged belfry
#

im downloading that health checker now to see

Oh thank god

its only a different error

#

Its just the TPM 2.0 must be supported and enabled on the PC

#

I bet its not enabled

#

but then it says TPM: TPM not detected

#

dude

#

this is just a strike out

#

it tells me to enable TPM to go to windows security -> then device security

#

but..

#

But it might not be turned on in the BIOS via the TPM application I opened up. Guess I need to check out the BIOS

jovial tide
#

yeah check that, also if there's no tpm in there sometimes you can get one and add it to motherboard

jagged belfry

okay i am in the bios so time to look

okay i think i found it. It said disabled so I enabled it

AYEEEE

funny my laptop is working better compared to when it was running on win10

I dont know if I want to do it on my pc though

jovial tide

it's not bad at all

jagged belfry

Is it optimized and compatible with all games on steam and stuff?

#

Is it going to cause any issues?

jovial tide
#

so far all of my alienware drivers were installed

#

discord is fine, steam I'm installing

jagged belfry
#

If my laptop was compatible I would have done it as I dont use it as much or have alot of stuff saved so if it gave any issues with games I wouldnt have to worry too much

#

Not like I have a crazy amount of data on my computer tho. Majority of the storage is from games

jovial tide

you can just upgrade it if you want. I mean it works ok that way too.

But it clearly runs wayyy better when you do a clean install.

I'm gonna stream come and see community #2

I have to go eat dinner in a few so I cant right now. But maybe later

I just want to mess around with it. my work is talking about upgrading to windows 11

question

#

waterblocking your GPU most likely removes warranty I assume?

jovial tide
#

Depends on the company. But if you do it well, even if card gets broken you can reassemble it then send it for repairs.

#

You can also buy a water cooled card

sour marsh

I am gonna waterblock mine myself

jovial tide
#

what card do you have?

sour marsh
#

RTX 3080 TUF OC

You should be able to water cool it safely with the right parts.

Just take your time and do it carefully.

If reinstalling/updating drivers didn't work, I'd go on and do a fresh install of windows.

if after that again black screen happens, then you should stop seeking the issue on software side and troubleshoot the hardware side

I still don't see anything good about it

probably not upgrading till win10's end of support haHAA

brave field
#

Looks like very, very little has changed from the original prerelease ISO, and if that's the case... there's no positives to upgrading from 10 to 11

#

Only negatives, in being personally identifiable via unique key in TPM, higher demands for graphics hardware, and the nightmare that is forced secure boot

#

though, the sounds effects are nice. Ripped those from the ISO

jovial tide
#

imo, with win11 MS is just trying to pierce its claws even further into individuals everyday routines/info/data, at least by the sounds of it.
I'm not saying there is nothing else added to this build, it definitely has some improvements, visually, kernel etc... but they also trying to gain more info on their users.

Is there any easy way to deal with two folders, in the exact same location, with the exact same name, in Windows?

These three folders are actually 6 folders, and take up double the space they should, but Windows won't display the copies that are identically named no matter what display options I set

how did u get them to be in the same folder with the same name in the first place

I used Windows' drag and drop copying multiple times

but the length of the characters can not be the same

I don't remember caring about noise in new york because of the street noise

iron lantern
#

oh

#

i think

#

what happened

#

was it went into those folders

brave field
#

My drive's free space is half what it should be, right clicking with all folders selected shows that the folders use half the space that Windows reports is currently in use, and if I use Virtualbox to delete one of the VMs and remove all data, the folder remains in Windows, but the hidden used storage is cleared
But I'm avoiding deleting it all through Virtualbox because it deletes my config files and one of those folders is not governed by Virtualbox

the content of the drag and drop went into those folders of the same name

Hey, I have a really dumb question. So I have 2 of these 2TB hard drives for my Xbox. (They look like this) Can I hook these up to my pc and install games on it like WZ or Cold war or Mc etc If I don't care about load times
