Need help with my ps4

I deleted all the notf then it went to 45mb then 3 mins later i tried to install warzone it said no space then went to check the storage is shows this again

[arctic yarrow]

The problem you're experiencing is you still have those games installed, taking up all of your space. What games are in your other section? You might want to try uninstalling some of them.

[pliant lynx]

anybody can help me up with this? i want to start from the extreme left

i added a space before the string to eliminate of it repeating the first letter

[kindred temple]

Move the space to the end?

[pliant lynx]

erm i will dm u my current source code

[zealous pasture]

So my bravia suddenly shut off

And when i try to start it it greets me with a red les flashing for 6 times

How can i fix this

[astral sphinx]

is increasing ram speed something that will make significant performance boost?

default is set to 2133 Mhz or something

[brave field]

significance depends on the workload

overclock your ram via its XMP profile if its advertised to run above 2133

[slim bluff]

I assume you are using C++ mind showing me your code?

[vernal bloom]

Yh it was cw that took all the space

[pliant lynx]

ok

The other day I asked her about is she still working in LMG she literally politely told me to shut the f up

Angrily saying can we just not talk about LMG on my streams please? and not answering

[kindred temple]

uh, no shit?

idk about you but if you keep insisting on talking about my work in such a way i would be mad too.

[kindred temple]

Seasonic boutta need to expand their RMA warehouse

[jovial tide]

well there's a moving average and there's 100% utilization

[kindred temple]

Ive talked far too many time at how gaming utilization of 60-80% is not representative of their worst case scenario of power consumption

[jovial tide]

well worst case scenario is higher but their yearly bill will be lower 🤷‍♂️

[cold elbow]

but im glad that intel is back to the competition

but they can only run with 360 water coolers to get max 94C lol

[jovial tide]

o o that's bad

go for it , its amazing

[junior flax]

I dont think i have that big hands

[latent drum]

its mostly for men

10900K is really unkillable huh

[civic cloud]

Is this with DDR4?

[latent drum]

DDR5

this is good prove that a 10 ring core 12th gen will probably be a drop grenade

[cold elbow]

U left all the charts that destroys the 10900k and went for these

Anyway this is a 10 games average

It should be even bigger gab but most games are gpu bound

I like the 12th gen core i5 tho
Looks like a killer value for its money and amd might finally drop the price of their 5600X

[arctic yarrow]

Hopefully this lights a fire under AMD to try to leapfrog Intel.

Right now though, Intel is still looking really toasty compared to AMD

Thermals are kinda suck.

[jovial tide]

Well most people are not gonna buy 12900k so

The 12600k and kf matter most

[arctic yarrow]

True.

[jovial tide]

The i7s are way out of reach nowadays

[eager tapir]

did they discontinue the r5 3600?

[jovial tide]

why buy 3600 when you can buy 5600x?

just wait a couple of days, and the CPU shall be yers (rhymed better)

[eager tapir]

No, I've had mine for a few years

[jovial tide]

well sell it and upgrade to 5600x if your board supports

[eager tapir]

On ebay?

[jovial tide]

depends on which country ur in

[eager tapir]

US

[jovial tide]

yeah ebay's fine, what's yourboard?

[eager tapir]

and ye my board supports chipset am4

b450

[jovial tide]

so what is the model exactlu

[eager tapir]

o

[jovial tide]

like we have B450 Tomahawk pepega edition

[eager tapir]

msi b450 gaming pro max carbon

wifi 🙂

[jovial tide]

Oooh that's a good board

[eager tapir]

ye its not bad

[jovial tide]

That's top of the line board

[eager tapir]

nice

[jovial tide]

Just one bios update and you can put that bitch (5600x) in

[eager tapir]

true

[jovial tide]

You can also install Win11 if you want
The old one you can sell on facebook or ebay

[eager tapir]

I had installed win11 on my laptop and its laggy af

so I downgraded back to win10

[jovial tide]

Well it depends on the specs you know

I have it on 10400F it works just fine

[eager tapir]

I'm gonna wait for more bug updates to be pushed

[jovial tide]

OS is not buggy, it's just incompatible with some hardware still
And you don't wanna upgrade, it's better to clean install it

[eager tapir]

maybe its bc my mb on my laptop is like 5 years old

[jovial tide]

That is true. and that's probably why. but if it has win11 drivers in the support page you can clean install win11 and enjoy it.

[eager tapir]

Yeah maybe

I'll think about it

[jovial tide]

anyways the 5600x would be a nice upgrade
depending on your GPU ofcourse

[eager tapir]

I have a 3060 ti

[jovial tide]

Yeah that would be a good upgrade for 3060Ti

[brave field]

used datacenter SSD prices are plummeting

[latent drum]

yes

the 12400F will be garbage this gen , but next gen will be way better

i still stand by my point of 10ring core and 4 E cores would have been better

[civic cloud]

I'm sure the engineers at Intel know what they are doing

[brave field]

lower than wccftech, but wccftech is known for being the least credible out there

This competition makes me really excited for Ryzen 7XXX/Intel 14th
Mayhaps AMD will make something under $300 again. Or both can push 5600x-like performance into the $150 range. The power use is scary, though.

[latent drum]

We know nothing about intel 14th

We know intel 13th

[brave field]

Knowing nothing is the fun part

[latent drum]

AMD 7000 will have 8 Zen 5 cores and 16 Zen 4D cores

We dont know if 4D will have hyper threading or not

But it will probably

[brave field]

Really want to see someone test things like fork bombs on 12th gen, just to see how the scheduler will deal with that.
If someone makes a multithreaded program that does nothing but make arrays and fill them with garbage, will the scheduler let P cores waste cycles on it?

[latent drum]

Iam wondering if AMD little cores have hyperthreading
Will intel also make it?

[analog mason]

anyone good at understanding gaming laptops and stuff

[brave field]

gaming laptops could mean a lot of things. What needs to be understood?

[jovial tide]

What price? What do you expect from it?

[analog mason]

1,300 the one im looking at has 16gb ram and 1tb space

any other questions you have please ask idk anything

If ur awake could u help

I

[fervent granite]

might as well reinstall windows

[junior flax]

Bruh

😭

[fervent granite]

It's not that bad, you can still access your personal files

besides now would be a great opportunity to debloat windows

[junior flax]

Tru 🤣

Still upsetting

[junior flax]

What u mean

How do i reinstall it

[fervent granite]

well you could go about it in 2 ways

the first is just reinstalling windows and choosing the "keep my files" option

the second is to make a bootable linux usb and access your files from there

[junior flax]

So i dont have to reinstall games?

[fervent granite]

oh yeah

[junior flax]

Lol yup

Ok so guess in reinstall

Rip

But hurray to debloat

Done it

Ok time to wait

@fervent granite

I try resrt

It trying tell me to login

BUT I AINTGOT THE PASSWORD AAAA

[fervent granite]

did you try shift click+ restart?

[junior flax]

Yes

Thats how im doing it

Lemme restart pc again

[junior flax]

Ok so to make sure

I do this

Troubleshoot

Reset pc

Keep files

[fervent granite]

Yeah it'll tell you if that option is available

It won't just proceed without you confirming first so no harm

[junior flax]

Ok

Please wait it says

"Reset this pc choose account to continue"

@fervent granite

I tried password

But wont work

Guess i full restart

[latent drum]

forgetting your account password is a whole new level

Anyone can tell me what execute pernission in Linux folder does exactly ?

[junior flax]

i swear down

i didnt

😂

it just wouldnt work

[jovial tide]

Is it out yet?

[latent drum]

yes

not in all countries

reviews are out though

[jovial tide]

the reviews are disappointing

[latent drum]

?

it beats the R9 5900X

[jovial tide]

permissions set on files have different meanings compared to permissions set on directories, the execute bit set on a file is self-explanatory, but that bit set on a directory means the said user can access/open/list files and directories in that directory.

Idk?! problem is that DDR5 ram costs as much as a high end DDR4 ram but they are not using those high end DDR4 rams.

You can have DDR4 4600 CL16 while the DDR5 ram with the same cost is 4800 or 5200 CL40 !

[latent drum]

Well

it turns out DDR5 is dick useless

at most its 5% increase in special workloads

Idk, one of my university professors* was saying there are companies that do nothing but massive amounts of data gathering

for the distant future.
she even named a big company that does this, and explained it's unclear what they are doing or planning to do with the data long term.
It's one thing to store large amounts of data and actively do something with it,
it's another to store data for distant future to do some unknown crazy shit with.

Can I connect a monitor to a laptop

[kindred temple]

I dont see why ya cant.

[jovial tide]

But like can I change my monitors settings then?

[kindred temple]

Yeah, in windows settings

[jovial tide]

Where do I change hertz in windows 10 settings

[kindred temple]

Advanced display settings

[jovial tide]

I have a 155hz monitor but i can only change to 60hz

[nova steppe]

you're using a displayport cable, right?

[jovial tide]

I'm using a HDMI 2.1 cable to connect my laptop to my monitor if that's what you mean

[nova steppe]

so the little dropdown only goes up to 60Hz? even with updated drivers?

There aren't more options for you?
https://i.imgur.com/bU2rDKo.png

epic embed fail

[jovial tide]

Only 59 and 60hz

[nova steppe]

What GPU is it?

[jovial tide]

UHD graphics 600 or something i don't know

[nova steppe]

Open the Intel Graphics Control panel (or whatever it's called, idr) by right clicking on your desktop, and see if there's an option to raise the Refresh Rate

it might be an option like "Make Custom Resolution" or something like that, and just change the refresh rate

[jovial tide]

Where do find the control panel?

[nova steppe]

You might see it by right clicking an empty space on your desktop. For me, it's Nvidia
https://i.imgur.com/HiAjxuj.png

oop

you might need drivers

[kindred temple]

Amad its a laptop

[nova steppe]

yeah, even my laptop shows an Intel Graphics Panel or summ like that

[jovial tide]

Do I need to download the panel or sum

[nova steppe]

do you know what model laptop you have?
As for the graphics thing, you should just be able to look up "Intel UHD graphics 600 drivers" and it should be one of the first results

[jovial tide]

Aspire A315-34

[nova steppe]

oh yeah, that's def not gonna go over 60hz

[jovial tide]

The monitor is a dell s2719DGF

It's a 155hz one but i guess i can't change it to 155hz

[nova steppe]

the laptop could probably only push 1920x1080 at 60Hz to that monitor. It doesn't have a gpu strong enough to do higher (without lag, that is)

[jovial tide]

At least I changed my monitor to 1440p

[nova steppe]

pog

[jovial tide]

Guess I'm stuck with 60hz tho

[cold elbow]

Check if that monitors comes with a setting to enable higher refresh rate

Or it might be the hdmi limitation

[jovial tide]

HDMI is a 2.1

[cold elbow]

Not on the laptop.

[zealous pasture]

is a 500w psu fine for a 3060ti

my pc without the gpu consumes like 150w

and 370 with it(if i get one)

[kindred temple]

650 would be very much recommended

Even 550 would be cutting close

[zealous pasture]

130w gap isnt enough?

[kindred temple]

No, no

Its not about the TDP

[zealous pasture]

[kindred temple]

The TDP of 3000 series is irrelevant

[zealous pasture]

does that mean ill have to settle for a weaker card

[kindred temple]

The power spike when in high load is long and strong enough to trip most OCPs

So get recommended wattage if possible

[cold elbow]

U cant just say 500w there is efficiency and 12v rail power
So much more details

[zealous pasture]

its a gold rated supply by corsair

idr its name anymore

[cold elbow]

Gold by corsair is probably fine

[kindred temple]

Gold corsair?

So RM550?

[zealous pasture]

wait

[cold elbow]

You will probably peak in worst case scenario to 350w and even less

[zealous pasture]

yeah its an rm550

[cold elbow]

Unless you have a power hungry cpu

[zealous pasture]

nah

65w

[cold elbow]

Yeah then dont worry about it

[zealous pasture]

a calc says 500w is enough

or can i just connect a diff smoler psu just for the gpu

or can i undervolt it

[kindred temple]

Dont mind about it then

[zealous pasture]

or should i settle for a 2060s

[kindred temple]

No, no need

3060Ti on a good ass 550 with low powered CPU should be fine

[zealous pasture]

65w 3200

[cold elbow]

@zealous pasture

It will work even with overclock.

[jovial tide]

3060Ti pretty much needs 650 psu

[cold elbow]

No it doesn't

[jovial tide]

what if you have an oc version?

you're gonna shutdown then have to buy the 650 anyways on top of the 500-550 you just bought

[cold elbow]

His cpu is 65w

[jovial tide]

hmm what's my cpu? 10400F?

[cold elbow]

Card needs 200W

And he owns a gold psu

[jovial tide]

It's also 65w

then there is rgb, fans, and so on

[cold elbow]

And

[jovial tide]

and then there are jumps in power usage sometimes

[cold elbow]

And

[jovial tide]

booooooooooost shtudown bam

[cold elbow]

His peak is barely 300W

Lmao

[jovial tide]

Then why do they put 650 psus for 3060tis?

[cold elbow]

I can get u a system with 1000W

[jovial tide]

No I mean the prebuilt manufacturers are not dumbasses

They put the least they can put inside

[cold elbow]

For a new build i would say get 650 for future upgradability and ummm longer life

But he already owns a gold 500W psu

Why replacing it

[jovial tide]

Oh in that case yeah he can try

If it boosted too much then buy
It never hurts to try

[cold elbow]

And about that spikes

Psus can handle spikes over their rated wattage

Time to disassemble my keyboard and clean it

[jovial tide]

Oh too much effort

[cold elbow]

It's been like 2 years

And yesterday i spilled cola on it, mouse pad and chair

how do you disassemble a keyboard?

it needs that tool to take the keys out right?

At least EVGA isn't scummy enough to say this relatively small shipment costed them everything and they'll need their loyal and faithful supporters to pay 15% extra to cover it

I think it's the best thing ever happened. I think it's good enough for a year or two at least for all games.

[cold elbow]

I think it's a weak comeback

Amd needs to slash the 5600x

[brave field]

They have to

well, they should

5800X being the same price won't stop people from buying the 5600x, but it looks stupid.

[jovial tide]

hmmm we'll see in a few weeks

[jovial tide]

right now 5800x (at least in Canada) is not looking that promising; it's nearly 500CAD

[lost fossil]

if we get price drops

I already have the 10400F

That CPU is a winner for sure

yeah but the board and ddr5

kind of disappointing
like you can get 4600MHz CL16 for the price of 5200MHz DDR5 CL40

[kindred temple]

Thats what im waiting

Still disappointed with power consumption on Intel 7.

I hope Intel 5 actually bring power change

[jovial tide]

There's a curve to power use; you don't judge a CPU by only 100% utilization power usage.

The same way you don't judge a car with its 6500rpm petrol use

You should when you need 100W more than your competitor just to beat them.

[kindred temple]

Lemme fire back in that case

[jovial tide]

how do i change the color of my keyboard

[jovial tide]

What's the keyboard?

[kindred temple]

If Chevrolet can make a V8 that can do 30mpg at 7000rpm with 500+HP, you gotta question why Dodge can only hit 11mpg with same engine at same range

[jovial tide]

i got it in like 2017 its a gigatech 440l, very cheap one.

[jovial tide]

Well it's not a good measure!

You compare the two in city tests or highway tests not maximum rpm or top speed petrol usage.

[jovial tide]

try openrgb

[kindred temple]

No shit, but thats really EPA issue in that case.

[jovial tide]

I'm at the website what do i download there's Like a million links

[jovial tide]

openrgb? there's just one

windows 64 - releases page

I downloaded it

does it recognize your keyboard?

[analog wharf]

lmao true

[boreal token]

Is a 17 10700k and a 3060 ti good combo

For gaming

Or r5 5600x and 3060 good

Sry 3070

[fierce thicket]

How the fuck do you clean a console

I’m sick and tired of trying to clean my ps4

Someone help

PLEASE

[jovial tide]

dude, a 10400F + 3060Ti is a good combo

It's either 10400F or 11600KF

[cold elbow]

Yes

It will cost u more for no performance gains in games tho

[plucky raft]

@cold elbow what is a good thermal paste to use and affordable?

[arctic yarrow]

Personally, I prefer using Arctic Silver 5.
https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-AS5-3-5G-Thermal-Paste/dp/B0087X728K/ref=asc_df_B0087X728K/

[plucky raft]

That looks good thank you

[arctic yarrow]

NP

[cold elbow]

Yeah i usually use arctic mx-4 but the silver 5 is more affordable

[civic cloud]

The Noctua paste is good as well

[cold elbow]

get yourself an air blower and blow the air vent for a second... dont let the fan inside spin too much

u can also use compressed air

[fierce thicket]

Oh alright thanks guys

Wonder if it still works

You have to stop posting random stuff without explaining what's going on, nobody knows what's happening

It's a random table for me

[strong saffron]

how old was it?

oh it has that right there

[lost fossil]

i gave signalrgb a shot and it looks real smooth

iirc it's closedrgb but i don't care too much, also openrgb doesn't work for me for some reason

at last

i bought it in july and installed yesterday

[civic cloud]

Why tf

[lost fossil]

because i wanted to upgrade from 950+970 to a gen 4 drive and i saw that the 980 was at its lowest price in months so i said yolo and got it

so now i have a spare 1tb 970 evo

[jovial tide]

290MB 😮 is it good?
Openrgb doesn't work for my motherboard too, it works well for the razer hutsman keyboard though

[lost fossil]

yeah it's very good

and it's only one program for everything

[jovial tide]

That ArmouryCrate is disgusting!

[lost fossil]

wtf is that

[jovial tide]

Let's see how this one works

[jovial tide]

do I have to sign up?

[lost fossil]

they have a pro subscription but iirc it's only for custom game integrations

i don't think you do

[jovial tide]

It doesn't work for my motherboard

[lost fossil]

wait

the big layout doesn't work for some devices but if you go to my rig - devices, you should be able to customize your mobo lights manually from there

[jovial tide]

it automatically shutdown

[lost fossil]

shutdown your pc?

what's your mobo

[jovial tide]

argb the whole argb is down

b560m-a-ac

[lost fossil]

but it's an anus mobo

it should be good

but wait, does the app crash or what

[jovial tide]

yeah it's weird as soon as I run signalrgb the argb shuts down

[lost fossil]

[jovial tide]

I don't have that!

[lost fossil]

[jovial tide]

I just have motherboard then I press config nothing happens it's all dark

[lost fossil]

[jovial tide]

I have to go to the dark side and install armourycrate + aura

in the middle of armourycrate the lights just kicked in

there are things I can't do in word easily, how do you easily type greek letters in word, you pull up the char map in latex you just type /delta for example

fractions are a pain in word too

/frac{1}{2}

[strong saffron]

You can type LaTeX in an equation field in Word and convert it

Alignment, tables, header/footer, page numbering, bullets/numbering etc. are all way easier in Word imo

especially tables

[slim bluff]

thats where markdown comes in

page numbering is automatic (depending on the latex engine), bullet points and numbering you just type them, tables aren't too bad either just different and tbf header and footer are a pain in latex

lol header and footer in latex

\documentclass[twoside]{article}

   \usepackage{graphicx}
   \newsavebox{\header}
   \savebox{\header}{\parbox[b]{\textwidth}% measure header

sorry to hear

[fervent granite]

12996 ± actually

[brave field]

What do you not like about matlab?

@fervent granite I suck at math, why ±?

[fervent granite]

because the square root of 12996 is 114, you can square -114 or +114 and still get the same answer

This is true for all "even" roots

As much as I don't want to admit it arch is kind of a vibe

haven't touched it since, until now

just wish it had an eli5 instead of haivng so much junk though

I must admit AUR helpers and pacman suck in comparison to xbps in void (I'm moving from Void Linux to Arch)

yay -Q package is probably one of the commands that could be so much better but yet isn't

[fervent granite]

[brave field]

That wiki is super useful, but the install guide in it is weird

[lost fjord]

Don't you have to re apply thermal paste every couple years because I've never done that

And I've heard that for xbox if you don't re apply it can just turn off

Reapplying paste only whn yours is damaged

On some computers that doesn't have high thermal load the paste can last for a decade

blowers may create a huge electrostatic charge when used, make sure the device is properly grounded first

or just use it on a completely unplugged devices

even when the device is unplugged, theres still the chance, especially on boards with alot of tiny chips and components like motherboards

[cold elbow]

I've been using an airblower for years on all kinds of devices
One of them was a loud ps4
Blowing it from the back created a dust storm but after that it was dead silent

building and buying are both fine, but it heavily depends on your budget and usecase

Buying a prebuilt might be cheaper than building nowadays, just make sure you do research so you're not buying shitty builds.

Right now buying is the easiest way to get a dGPU for usecases that require them

If you are buying a prebuilt I recommend reinstalling the OS so you don't have to deal with all the bloatware on it.

MSI is a big brand, all have both great and awful products. Some of their stuff catches fire, and others are loved.

A | State1
B | State2
C | State1

In a database like this, does the City attribute from people table have a one-to-one relationship with City from cities table (because it's the same attribute) or one-to-many (because it can appear more than once in the first table)?

Don't worry about it, we all start out as noobs. Only assholes hold your level of experience against you.

What is this

The pc boots and then makes this screen

The mouse and keyboard are lit up

[jovial tide]

so does it boot to windows afterwards?

[dense birch]

looks like a boot device problem
do you have any usb devices attached you normally wouldnt

[unreal iron]

No I get the boot screen, then when the bar fills up it goes to that

[jovial tide]

so you see the bar fill up then your windows doesn't load

[unreal iron]

Yes

[jovial tide]

just with that info, I would say you need a windows reinstall

[unreal iron]

[jovial tide]

also after 3-4 boot fails it should go to recovery window

[dense birch]

go into bios and make sure its reading the drive

[unreal iron]

I cannot

[dense birch]

oh, you cant get into the bios screen?

About 6 months ago when cookie helped me update the bios the f2 and f12 commands stopped responding
