[charred otter]

dammit

[arctic yarrow]

Your dad might be able to go for a refund.

[charred otter]

ye

i'll ask him about later

[brave field]

That last one, its interesting

[zinc wyvern]

This one is around the same price

But I don’t know if it is good

[brave field]

slower and older than the others, but it'll also be more than enough for web browsing

[zinc wyvern]

And applications?

Like Microsoft word, and other applications

[brave field]

Word is lighter than web browsing

Do you know any specific other programs he'll use?

Anything like 3D animation or a game or video recording or CAD?

Oh, what's wrong with the last computer that stopped being used?

[zinc wyvern]

Nope, just some light stuff

It stopped working

It was an I3 I think

Like half of the screen is black

[brave field]

Its likely much cheaper to replace the screen or backlight

[zinc wyvern]

This one also looks pretty decent

[zinc wyvern]

Yeah but before it broke, it got a little slow and stuff

It’s like 5 or so years old, and in general like not that good

Like you could visually see the lag and stuff

When like opening apps and the start up

[brave field]

Ah, please don't throw it in the trash!
That last one is overpriced, but also works

[zinc wyvern]

Like the screen is literally broken

I think we put something on it or something because the screen is like internally broken

Ohh and

You can’t take it out of the charger

Because it will die

It lives in the charger

Like if you unplug it, it instantly dies

[brave field]

Sounds like its ready to be wiped clean, sped up, and converted to a desktop PC
https://www.amazon.com/HP-Display-Business-Student-Bluetooth/dp/B0947BNCSY/ this also looks okay-ish, though still more expensive than what really feels like the best option (also yucky resolution)

I'm trying to pick out models with 16gb of ram (or an easy upgrade) and more than 128gb of storage

Windows loves to suck up storage space and system resources, it can get really problematic on laptops, which are also already overheating and slowing down out of the box

[zinc wyvern]

Thanks for helping me man

I really appreciate this from the bottom of my heart

[brave field]

While more cores + less storage is fine, your dad my find himself having to wipe things out or buy another drive sooner on those i5 laptops (tis why I really think https://www.amazon.com/Acer-A515-56-36UT-Display-i3-1115G4-Processor/dp/B08VKT45K4/ just wins, since you can't go used)

anytime friend

contact @jovial tide too

He looks into laptops a lot

[zinc wyvern]

Will do!

So what’s with ryzen

Like are their processors good?

[brave field]

Very

[analog wharf]

Yes

[brave field]

Not as good as Intel's at the moment, but that difference shows in much, much more demanding situations than this

[zinc wyvern]

So would something like this be a good pick?

[analog wharf]

What’s your use case?

[brave field]

More cores, 8gb of ram, and less storage. Overkill for the job, but there's only really tangible downsides compared to the i3 and Ryzen 3 models from earlier at lower prices

[zinc wyvern]

Like browsing the web, Microsoft word and basic use

And like file stuff

Sometimes work related

[analog wharf]

Yea that’s probably more than enough

[brave field]

Which i3 do you have, Skizz?

[charred otter]

My laptop system thingy is up in here give sec

@brave field

[brave field]

Ah, yours is from 2013

[zinc wyvern]

I have bad experiences with I3s

[brave field]

I thought the issue was that the screen was broken, nothing related to the i3?

[zinc wyvern]

Yeah

And this PC is also an O3

I3

[charred otter]

I run browser fine

[zinc wyvern]

And it’s pretty slow

[brave field]

That system is slow because its lacking in ram, really

[zinc wyvern]

And the laptop that we had just warn out

[brave field]

that i3 is being held back badly

[analog wharf]

If all you do is browsing the web, file stuff and other stuff you might be able to just about do with a budget laptop, slap PopOS or Linux Mint on it (because windows is so bloated windows will probably be taking more resources than the apps you run and budget laptops easily run out of resources) and you’re probably fine

[brave field]

I mean, its fair to keep avoiding the i3s/Ryzen3s if it makes you feel better

but the i3-1115G4 is outperforming i7s from the year that Windows 8 PC's i3 came out, you're paying more money for a worse experience by having your ram and storage cut in half just for the i5 name

[zinc wyvern]

Yeah it does a little, I see switching from i3 to i5 or something like an upgrade

In my eyes that’s how I see it

[brave field]

hmmm

[zinc wyvern]

So is there a laptop with full ram and storage with an I5, around 500-700? Or do they not go for that price

And that ram and storage should do you recommend

The i3-1115G4 is actually outperforming the i7s?

[brave field]

i7s from the year the i3 in your picture came out, yes

[zinc wyvern]

Hmm

[brave field]

The mobile Celerons and Pentiums from the latest two generations also beat them in singlecore speeds

still looking, but I guess https://www.amazon.com/HP-Micro-Edge-i7-1160G7-Graphics-Accessories/dp/B09MLPK4XX and https://www.amazon.com/HP-6-Cores-Graphics-Portable-Windows/dp/B09CD34PB5 keep both the naming and the storage/ram setups

prices are just... really high

[charred otter]

So if i send a pic of the side of laptop can you tell what i need to have my laptop go on my monitor?

There is this once plug that idk where it goes

What plug it is etc.

[zinc wyvern]

I searched the intel core i3 that you said and it shows people gaming on it

Is this one the same as the one you showed me?

[brave field]

same i3, yep
Note that laptop does need a ram upgrade though, you'd have to order one ram stick and install it yourself, and its pretty low on storage

but both a ram and storage upgrade are much, MUCH cheaper yourself than buying the higher end laptop, and only require a screwdriver

[zinc wyvern]

So if I buy this one, would it last me a long time?

[brave field]

Also note the gaming performance there won't be the exact same as how it runs on the laptop; Those videos will be laptops with dedicated graphics cards, this one does not have a dedicated graphics card

Last how? Survive physical damage?

[zinc wyvern]

No, like lasting in the house

Like not breaking and stuff

[brave field]

Hardware lasts 15+ years in all laptops after tweaking. It should last 7-10 at the least, without putting in any extra work to make it live long

[charred otter]

What plug is the top?

[brave field]

Laptops from 2011-2013 are still viable tbh

[zinc wyvern]

Definitely Not my pc 🤣

[arctic yarrow]

That's a mini displayport

[brave field]

hey, possibly

Your PC might be plenty powerful, just needing some changes software-side

but yes, it will last

don't forget the ram upgrade though, using it with 4gb only will hurt

[zinc wyvern]

Yeah

How much storage is on this laptop

Like storage for downloading stuff

[arctic yarrow]

128 gb

[brave field]

it comes with 128gb, which is around 60gb or so after Windows/bloatware/web browser profile/updates

[charred otter]

Just making sure

[zinc wyvern]

Finding a laptop is hard 🤣

[charred otter]

I was lucky enough to get my current one for free for Christmas last year and i only reset it once

[brave field]

Has a drive bay though, so with an extra 8gb of ram being some $30-$35 and extra storage being about $50 (512gb SSD, or 1TB for a hard drive), its under $450

[zinc wyvern]

🤔

[brave field]

Would you be willing to learn to perform those two upgrades? It having decent price-to-performance really depends on being able to do that

[zinc wyvern]

I don’t know, it depends

[brave field]

There's tutorial videos, its not a difficult process

Thinking now, you could and most definitely should take the storage from the broken laptop and throw it in there to save money, since the broken one likely isn't going to be used (unless its under warranty!)

[charred otter]

Cookie why don't you make tutorials

[brave field]

I'm terrible and awful at explaining things, and tutorials, and at talking to people, or cameras, and suck at everything really
and there's a gazillion other tutorials accessible from the past 20 years

[zinc wyvern]

Hmm

I think I’ve summed it up

11th gen intel, or ryzen 5000 r5 or r7 with 8/16 gb or ram and 512 gb probably

Do you think I can find one for my price range

[brave field]

yes

[zinc wyvern]

So for those specs am I set?

If I find one for around those specs

Maybe something like this?

[brave field]

Yes. Its likely to be overpriced (that acer aspire is really crispy), but a laptop with those specs will have no issue with web browsing and word processing.
All that's left afterwards is to do the normal laptop checking ("Does this laptop overheat? Does this laptop have an absurd failure rate? Does this laptop come with malware preinstalled? Is the manufacturer going to slow down my laptop after 6 months?") but you need to check reviews from professionals for that

The one you just posted does what you want, yeah

[zinc wyvern]

So would that laptop slow down after 6 months or something

[brave field]

Nothing about the hardware should ever slow down, really. If it has awful cooling and HP loads it up with bloatware, possibly, but I can't really tell you. I don't have experience with it.

[zinc wyvern]

Ohh

[brave field]

Pasting the model number into a search engine/youtube will bring up a few people who will go into details on things like that.

Non-sponsored reviews by professional, veteran laptop reviewers covers those model-specific topics. Two laptops with the exact same i3 and ram and storage can perform differently

[zinc wyvern]

Thanks for your help

I really appreciate you helping me understand this stuff

[brave field]

anytime friend
I couldn't really give you a straight answer, agh

do check in with Arash or MelonBubbles or Claire here before you make a final decision, they spend so much more time looking into newer laptops than I do, and have owned some popular ones too

[autumn bay]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/XUM-Gaming-i7-2600-600Mbps-Windows/dp/B091HH4XNP/ref=sr_1_11?qid=1640131093&refinements=p_36%3A9708207031%2Cp_72%3A419153031&rnid=11416485031&s=computers&sr=1-11

[zinc wyvern]

Yeah, before I make a final dessision I’m gonna go looking on YouTube and stuff

[autumn bay]

is this a good pc?

[brave field]

What usecase? @autumn bay

eh, the CPU in here is from 2011 and the GPU is weaker than a smartphone, at this price its an automatic pass

have a total budget?

[autumn bay]

around 700 usd

[brave field]

Amazon UK? Do you have a budget in pounds? Where is this being bought?

[autumn bay]

my vpn is set to uk, ill check what the price is in pounds

[brave field]

ah, no problem

[autumn bay]

527.51

[brave field]

just wanted to make sure its the right area, UK and US have super different PC markets

@autumn bay The market is still in shambles

[autumn bay]

should i wait a little while before i buy anything?

[brave field]

Three options I see:

• Scan over this every few hours for a prebuilt https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/
• Check the local used market for a GPU and add it to this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bHK3nL
• Get this open box Newegg ABS system https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali431-challenger/p/N82E16883360010R

You probably should wait if you can, but there's no estimate of when things will get better

[jovial tide]

I +1 that ABS

Specially in Canada

[brave field]

ABS would be an instant yes with a 3600 or 10400

oh hey, the laptop discussion above, thoughts? I am still suck when it comes to newer laptops

[jovial tide]

It's too much to read on the cellphone

But for cheaper laptops, for work anything with aluminum chasis works

Most come with low power ddr3 or 4 with longer battery life, ok ish cpu and non gaming gpu

Acer swift 3 and 5 are good examples

[brave field]

@zinc wyvern Here's this, in case its a while before re-accessing this channel

[jovial tide]

https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/acer-swift-14-laptop-silver-intel-evo-core-i5-1135g7-512gb-ssd-8gb-ram-windows-11/15743180?source=collection&adSlot=2

16 hours battery life, decent processor, ok price (price is in Canadian$) good enough build quality, snappy, prestigious but won't game.

Asus has Zenbook similar to that at a higher price

[gleaming prairie]

Ok I have a question, if I go to best buy to get a PC what would be a good one to get?

[proven basalt]

Bestbuy's the worst place to buy prebuilts

They usually only have lower tier laptops and lower tier prebuilts; for everything better, they ask you to buy on their website; at least that's been my experience with them.

[brave field]

not just prebuilts

Best Buy is usually the worst place to get anything

High prices in every section of the store

[jovial tide]

Well here they are the main GPU distributor

So you can get the cards near RTX if you go and camp near select places; one every few months

[brave field]

I envy Canada

Best Buy did sell RTX GPUs online here, but outside of that, they're a waste of land

[jovial tide]

Their TV and sound system prices are not bad; USB sticks are great too

Like you see 150$ entry monitors, ok'ish 600-800$ laptops, TVs that are good and comparable to costco ones

[brave field]

Its beyond bad when someone can order from Amazon and pay 1-day shipping prices without prime and still have it cost less than going to Best Buy in person

[jovial tide]

Well Cookie, there are some other bright sides, like repairs are great; if someone (who doesn't know any good repair person) buys a Dell from Dell he's doomed.

But if he buys that from Bestbuy it's gonna be great for him.

[lilac heath]

[brave field]

I will say, their interiors are nice

Its a comfy place, they have nice fabric floors in some places, its never too cold in there, all the trashy loud people stay away from it

nope, even GeekSquad is useless where I am, rip

[lilac heath]

GT 710🚮

[jovial tide]

I've had some of the best computer conversations in bestbuys

Like when I told them about my Alienware experience, they said if you bought it from us we would have opened and repasted + tested it for you for free. while Dell's like "it's absolutely normal, based on* our extensive testing there is nothing wrong and there won't be anything wrong"

[brave field]

we should trade bestbuys

[jovial tide]

I'll send your montreal's bestbuys lol - you just gotta learn some french

[brave field]

Last time an employee was trying to talk me into a Sandisk Cruzer Blade for ReadyBoost like it was 2007

[jovial tide]

[arctic yarrow]

No, clone the bestbuys there and paste them here.

[brave field]

I just wanted to try and price match an SSD that their site said they would have in store, which they did not

[jovial tide]

It's the people

I bet employees there don't even wanna be there

Here most are extremely into computers and knowledgeable

[brave field]

The cloning process sounds dangerous

I'd be scared of accidentally making mutant Best Buys

[arctic yarrow]

And last I checked, they only get paid $9.50/hr

[jovial tide]

That's just US xd

[brave field]

Pretty low for what they require on applications, yipes

[jovial tide]

Both greek squad and normal bestbuy personnel are well paid here (compared to other general, and IT jobs)

[arctic yarrow]

Meanwhile my chill, laid-back municipal ISP tech support job pays $16.50/hr

[brave field]

Folding cardboard boxes @ $10/hr

[jovial tide]

Btw, have you guys heard of new java vulnerability?

It might have reached your ear with minecraft news

[arctic yarrow]

Well, I've been hearing nothing but that for the last week.

[brave field]

Log4Shell, or the vulnerability that came from the first two patches?

It had the potential to be the biggest vulnerability to date, its good patches rolled out as fast as they did

[jovial tide]

It affects a lot of embeded devices I guess

[brave field]

A bucketload of business backends use log4j

[jovial tide]

But it's not worse than those 2 CPU vulnerabilities

Usually when something like that happens it's up to governments to mitigate it

[brave field]

Probably could be bigger than Spectre/Meltdown if Spring and other frameworks also used Log4J

Exploiting it is just sending a line of text

[jovial tide]

Well it doesn't affect computers with intelligent people sitting behind it

[brave field]

A message in Minecraft, a cUrl request to a webserver, a discord/reddit/twitter nickname

It does

[fervent granite]

eh I just shrugged it off

[brave field]

There's no user input required, just have a program with log4j running open and you're vulnerable

[jovial tide]

I mean isn't it based on java runtime?

[brave field]

Just the log4j library, not java itself, but ye

[jovial tide]

so how does it affect me for example?

[fervent granite]

just don't go into sus servers or run sus java programs and you're good to go

[jovial tide]

I don't have any java programs

[brave field]

You play any p2p game that uses the library for logging
some loser sends you a message with the 6 characters you need at the start, followed by a link to their .ps` or .sh script
you die

[jovial tide]

There are javascripts running on web pages but nothing on my pc

[fervent granite]

Ah yes the good ol' javascript ≠ java

[brave field]

Any program using the JVM as well, as long as the library is used. Kotlin, Clojure, Scala, Jython, etc. all can be problems

[jovial tide]

So

In the end CPU's gonna run it

It's not gonna be as hard as making new generation CPUs immune to spect and meltdown

[brave field]

the risk for the normal person, assuming they don't play minecraft often, is low-ish

but the company side...

Think of all the enterprise spaghetticode that's entirely unfixable

[jovial tide]

Well when there's IoT, solutions are endless

[brave field]

Amazon, Docker, iCloud, Netflix, Cloudflare, Meta, pretty much every company but google has either had downtime or has employees posting about dying of stress right now

all those Ring cameras, smart appliances, BANKS

[jovial tide]

One is whitelisting your acceptable programs

Also most of those are behind firewalls and not even connected to the internet

[fervent granite]

Thank fuck I never went into compsci lmao

[brave field]

and if your firewall uses Java...

say, Unifi, by Ubiquiti...

You super die.

[jovial tide]

Your firewall's not getting any input by outside world

You can't feed it the input you want

[brave field]

In this case, when it goes to read whether it should be dropping/denying or accepting the packet, it do

Ubiquiti just had to release three new updates because of this exact situation

[jovial tide]

That's weird

That should be a local exploit then

[brave field]

if anything is being logged, its bad
and it sucks for internal systems too

What if your entirely safe non-log4j-using system is backed by an IDS written in Java and using the library when it detects an intrusion?

still die

[jovial tide]

I guess time for an upgrade

[brave field]

Pain.

Discord's ToS doesn't really allow people to help you with bypassing anticheat or injecting dlls into games

Sorry, not ToS, their Community Guidelines really don't want you do to that
Not allowed in this server either, no.

[fervent granite]

Who dares advertise

[brave field]

That's... also not allowed here

[fervent granite]

literally right there my man

[arctic yarrow]

Asking for/advertising services is prohibited.

Pretty sure asking for services falls under advertising. It's just like when you do a WTB or WTS in an MMO, both are forms of advertising.

The only difference is what side of the transaction you're advertising being on.

[brave field]

[kindred temple]

What happened?

[brave field]

Your e5-1603, how often does it legitimately hit or exceed its 130W TDP? @arctic yarrow

uh, guy came in offering $600 to make a DLL injector with a GUI for Rust

and then stated that hiring developers wasn't explicitly against the rules

[kindred temple]

you never wanna do that for fixed payment

you gotta want percentage royalty

passive income best income

[arctic yarrow]

I don't think it hits it's TDP since i've obtained it.

I think the cpu is a little overkill for what I do right now.

[fervent granite]

And a bad one at that, I make way more than that in one paycheck lmao

[lilac heath]

Yes make money while you're sleeping

[arctic yarrow]

I'm part-time and I make more than that lol

[brave field]

nice, hopefully that behavior also applies to the E5 v3s on LGA2011-3

[kindred temple]

But in all seriousness unless the anticheat is something like EAC or Vanguard which is pretty adaptable

just do royalty.

nothing much would change after you finish writing one up

[brave field]

Things are slowly coming together, and I can't wait to get my hands on one of those unbranded Aliexpress mystery boards

but I'll have to run an Intel stock cooler until I can afford better...

[kindred temple]

okay i really should stop because this is definitely R10 breaking in some way

[arctic yarrow]

Right now, I think my upload speed is what's screwing me over when hosting servers. I can get max 5mbps with Comcast.

Can't wait for Google Fiber to finish building in my area.

[brave field]

Are you still running Windows 10/Server 2016/2019 for everything?

[arctic yarrow]

No, Windows defender would keep deleting server files, so I changed over to ubuntu server with a very basic gnome GUI.

I tried to disable windows defender, but it would re-enable itself and delete as usual.

I even tried to set exclusions, but, again, it would delete those exclusions.

[brave field]

mmmh

sorry for the barrage of questions lol

[arctic yarrow]

np

[brave field]

Your GUI, do you have physical access to this machine?

noVNC? RDP?

[arctic yarrow]

Yes, I connect headless via anydesk.

[brave field]

ah, Anydesk

Connecting to local machines, can you do that without an account with Anydesk?

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, you can without an account

[brave field]

I'm trying to avoid having my VMs run on Steam Link or... Parsec lol

How's performance?

Get higher than 25fps?

[arctic yarrow]

Honestly, I don't think it really matters, as long as it's not 15 or lower.

I think it's 30fps though

[brave field]

alrighty

thanks again

[arctic yarrow]

If i wanted to start gaming on it, that would be a whole different story.

[brave field]

RDP likes to replace the GPU with its own display adapter that can't use things like DirectDraw at all, which leaves me to use my hypervisor's display server instead
It sounds Anydesk might avoid that

[arctic yarrow]

One small issue with anydesk though, it can't run headless without detecting a monitor.

So I plugged a dvi to vga adapter into it, and bridged the color voltage and ground using some resistors.

330 ohm resistors iirc

[brave field]

sounds perfect
I'll be using a physical display with each VM, so things should work out, I think

[arctic yarrow]

If you're not gonna use a ton of vram, I could donate some gt 550s that I purchased thinking they were gtx 1050s.

Yeah, I fell for one of those graphics card scams on ebay a while ago.

[brave field]

sorry to hear you were scammed

[arctic yarrow]

It was a while ago though, was trying to build a few budget systems at that time.

Hey, a $150 lesson on why I shouldn't purchase goods from a shady chinese ebayer.

[brave field]

Maybe you can still extract some value from them

[arctic yarrow]

Nah, I've given up on that a long time ago.

[brave field]

They have DX11, can accelerate PhysX software, CUDA?

oh

[arctic yarrow]

They flashed it in such a way that the card tries to draw 2gb vram, but it only physically has 512mb

so it crashes every time a game is run.

The only reason why I know it's a gt 550? the layout

They scratched the label off the die.

Or is it an inscription?

[brave field]

printed somehow

[arctic yarrow]

I suppose if I can't find some use for it, I could try reflashing it as a project sometime.

How could I

keep latency as low as possible between two docker containers on two separate machines?

[jovial tide]

Hey, man what is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 8GB ram high or low end pc?
and what refresh rate should i use and
is it considered dx10.1 or dx11?

on gta v

[brave field]

1050 is at the bottom of midrange for 1080p
8gb of ram is fine
The GPU should be slightly faster at Direct3D 11, not sure how much of the 11 featureset is used compared to 10 or 10.1 in tha software you're running

[jovial tide]

i dont understand

[arctic yarrow]

I love how the moment I name a 7dtd server "WORK YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!" It actually starts working.

[jovial tide]

1 is it low or high end pc

[brave field]

Both of those are subjective and depend on other factors

its infinitely closer to low though

[jovial tide]

ok its low

then

2 what refresh rate should i use on gta v

[brave field]

Use your display's refresh rate

[jovial tide]

i mean 60hz or 75hz

idk

[brave field]

If your display is a 75hz display, always use 75hz

[jovial tide]

idk

how do i suppost to know that

[hearty stirrup]

should be a model written on ur monitor

[lost fossil]

wedk either because you never told us your monitor model nor did you look at your settings in windows

[brave field]

Find your display's model number printed on a label somewhere on it and google that

[jovial tide]

im using a tv

[lost fossil]

60

[brave field]

The model number should be on the back of the TV, more than likely its 60hz

[jovial tide]

let me

see

brb

[lost fossil]

i want a vrr tv

preferrably lg c1

cookie

do you think vrr over hdmi 2.1 would work with a displayport 1.4 to hdmi 2.1 adapter?

[jovial tide]

its a haier tv

guys

@jovial tide

@brave field

[lost fossil]

there is no tv in your budget range that is higher than 60 hz anyway

tvs over 60 hz cost an arm and a leg

sometimes a kidney as well

[brave field]

some old ones did have 75hz under game mode

no VRR/DP adaptive/Freesync/Gsync/Gsync-compatible though

[jovial tide]

id

k

[brave field]

use 60hz, in your Windows/GPU control panel settings

[jovial tide]

guys go to #archive_media i show you my tv

[lost fossil]

doesn't matter too much what kind of tv it is

[brave field]

Can't do anything with pictures, only the model number

but there's really a 99.9% chance it only supports 60, and you should use 60

[jovial tide]

my is 30h\

my is 30hz

[brave field]

weird

[jovial tide]

ye

wich direct x should i use

?

[brave field]

11

[jovial tide]

ok

[brave field]

Try them all to be sure, but with most systems, 11 will be best

[jovial tide]

and does even gta v have 30 hz

[brave field]

games don't really care about refresh rate

GTA will run at 30fps if you limit it or use vsync. Otherwise, it'll run at whatever fps your system can push out, and will be displayed at 30 due to your TV. The latter won't require any extra config.

[jovial tide]

hey bro my video memory its full and its red

how do i fix that

on gta v

[brave field]

That's more an estimate, your VRAM use might be fine

really nothing you can do but lower settings that may use VRAM

it shouldn't cause too many issues ingame though, as long as it doesn't go over the VRAM capacity

[jovial tide]

whats vram

[brave field]

Ram, but designed for helping with video output or rendering

[jovial tide]

i fix it because everything was on and very high and i put to normal and it fixed

[jovial tide]

hey @brave field

pls anser

[brave field]

What would you like answered?

[jovial tide]

listen theres one problem i post on tik tok and can u tell me what setting should i change

[brave field]

Sorry, I won't be able to help with that right now
Don't post your tiktok name here

[jovial tide]

pls

[brave field]

[cold elbow]

1650€ for 8gb ram

Terrible value

[oblique aspen]

One second

Is that good for beginner who plays gta and does crpto mining?

[analog wharf]

fuck mining and yea it should be ok

most is good but 1x8 is a big no no

[brave field]

@oblique aspen What do you plan to mine?

[oblique aspen]

Not sure yet to be honest miming don’t matter it’s more will this run games smoothly and is the website trustworthy

[oblique aspen]

Thanks

@brave field your opinion ?

[brave field]

If its cheap enough, sure

8gb of single channel ram is meh, like others have said

Its definitely a capable system

[oblique aspen]

Can I upgrade the 8gb

Thing

[brave field]

yes

[oblique aspen]

And does it matter it doesn’t have a windows operating system

[brave field]

does not matter, no

[oblique aspen]

Ok sweet Thankyou

It’s so expensive

Does anyone know any good pc for under 1.4 k in aid

Aud*

And the pc preferably in Australia’s

[arctic yarrow]

Well, I have no issue with mining as long as you don't use the card specifically for it.

[oblique aspen]

Is digital storm legit

[brave field]

They're a real and existing company, but a bit infamous for having some of the worst pricing in the world. If they have a big sale though...

[jovial tide]

How is everyone ones night?

[lilac heath]

So i found a HP prebuild for 1200$
It has RTX 3060ti
i5 11400 CPU
16GB RAM
1TB SSD

Is it worth the price or not?

[lost fossil]

zamn

psu and mobo will be but otherwise it sounds great

[exotic patrol]

Maybe with i7

Its a pretty decent build for the price but uhh

where'd you find it

[jovial tide]

That's about the price

1200-1400$ is the price for 11400F + 3060Ti

Depending on build quality, warranty, fans, case, ram, board model and so on price jumps up or goes toward 1200

[lilac heath]

On Amazon,but its an open box
So warranty is for 6 months only and brand new costs 1300$

[jovial tide]

ABS (Newegg) sells for 1300-1400 usually brand new

[lilac heath]

[exotic patrol]

Arash should build my gaming PC specs

[lilac heath]

And cooling🚮

[jovial tide]

Middle east man is a different world

One doesn't really have the luxury of building something in a day

In my home town, if you go with ur own list and try to buy part by part; you'll end up paying like 10-20% more. You have to memorize your parts and slowly negotiate to get something close what you want at a good price.

[exotic patrol]

Ikr

[exotic patrol]

Well what sucks is

People in my country use dollar prices for JOD

[jovial tide]

You were in Iraq right?

[exotic patrol]

so they will always end up winning the extra dollar price without it being converted

[jovial tide]

Oh Jordan

[exotic patrol]

no I was in Jordan

[jovial tide]

Anyways nowadays 5600x + some 16GB (2x8 3600MHz ram) + a decent Asus/MSI B550 board would be fine

[exotic patrol]

as soon as I get 16gb of ram I'm fine

[jovial tide]

You also need a good GPU; 1660, 1660super, 2060, 2070, 3060, 3060ti, AMD 6600, 6700, 6700XT are all good

[exotic patrol]

I was going for a 3060 but that's long gone

I prefer Nvidia over amd tbh

[jovial tide]

You can find 3060 OC editions everywhere

[exotic patrol]

How much they cost?

one second I will look it up

This?

Or this?

[jovial tide]

both should be the same

that's the 3060 oc edition which is ok

[lilac heath]

Founder's edition go for cheap i think

Building a PC is not a good option in 2021
Either get a pre build or go for console

[lost fossil]

you can always get a prebuilt for gpu and maybe cpu and then sell the remains or add some cheap cpu with integrated graphics and give it to your family member for browsing meta

question

i found a droplet of tooth thermal paste on one of the pins on one of my ram sticks

i am led to believe that it could be the cause of all of my issues

i cleaned the pins of all 4 sticks with alcohol but

how do i clean the slots

don't ask me how toothpaste ended up in there, i have no fucking idea

[charred otter]

ok well

i need help

i got a usb adapter thingy

plugged it in

and

it didnt work

[brave field]

what thingie did you get

The USB to hdmi/dp thing from before?

[charred otter]

one end is usb that goes in laptop and one end has hdmi port

this is new thingy

old thing didnt work

[brave field]

AFAIK unless this is USB-C, you'd need a separate driver installed to do that. Display over USB-A is pretty weird in general. You've checked the manual and all included documentation, yeah?

[charred otter]

for the monitor or the cable?

[brave field]

the cable

Whatever you just got that is new

[charred otter]

followed all the steps and i still cant figure it out

the instructions said that i should see a monitor thing on the taskbar but these instructions are also made via windows xp

i have a test tomorrow ;-;

[neat jolt]

it's ok

dm me when you can

[kindred temple]

@brave field Do you think the hall effect system thats being used for analog keyboard is bound to be replaced with load cell system, much like in racing pedals?

Because remember, muscle memory remembers pressure more than position.

[jovial tide]

hah

that'll make your keyboard a decent piano

[kindred temple]

And a decent way to drive on a keyboard even more consistently

[jovial tide]

trueee

[kindred temple]

Basically a massive boon for SB war thunder and arma 3 players

[cold elbow]

dont think there are enough travel to achieve something like that

also would not be comfortable for our fingers.

[kindred temple]

There is no travel though, load cell measures in weight not distance.

[cold elbow]

even worse

also would it be reliable and cheap?

[kindred temple]

Even better because its variable

Well, depends

Overall the more solid load cells are those who keep their accuracy the longest

But theyre tough as a brick to actuate, theyre usually 20-50kg

[cold elbow]

[kindred temple]

But with tech improvement and demand, it could be realistic to see low weight small footprint load cells

[cold elbow]

we might see keyboards with only some keys having that tech like AWSD

[kindred temple]

But right now there is literally no reason to do it because almost noone runs analog kb

There's like what? 10 wooting one users rn?

[cold elbow]

probs

[jovial tide]

It's not cost effective though

Think about it, if someone's gonna have to pay 100$ for that to play racing games easier; he'll just buy a controller for cheaper

[tranquil token]

yeah but you would finally have an excuse for pressing the W button so hard.

[brave field]

@boreal boltcombine how?

[boreal bolt]

Well you have hard disk C and D and I thought that you can combine these two partitions into one

I wanted to know if that degrades my system or smt

[brave field]

If they're on the same physical drive, you can delete your D and merge its free space back with C, but you'll lose the data in D

If they're different hard drives, your install will die if either of the drives are removed or start failing
Don't stretch your C across multiple physical disks ever

[boreal bolt]

[sturdy prism]

Fr

Thats enough to buy a used car

Like wtf is going on

[unkempt drift]

I just want maybe a 20 series or something idk

[sturdy prism]

Yeah for a leg and a arm

[analog wharf]

im looking for 2060s and getting results of 10 series cards

[brave field]

3090 is a good blender/Resolve/Unreal GPU

[analog wharf]

fucking hell

[brave field]

for playing games though? wack

[sturdy prism]

What do you recommend cookie?

[unkempt drift]

Deez cookies

[jovial tide]

But a 3090 compared to 6900XT is crap :/

[brave field]

not for the programs above, though!

The 6900XT is near-unusable for those on Windows

[sturdy prism]

What is a better gpu for gaming than a 3090

[jovial tide]

Like you get a very very good XTXH 6900XT for 1500-1700$

[unkempt drift]

No gpu

[jovial tide]

Like the XFX Black Limited

[sturdy prism]

Integrated graphics

[unkempt drift]

yes

[sturdy prism]

[unkempt drift]

I had that

[jovial tide]

yeah it's a gaming card

[unkempt drift]

Unless you shop locally

[sturdy prism]

If you have 1000 customers, but lottery them 300 devices. the price won't be the MSRP anymore.

[analog wharf]

Build a pc and make a server if you can

[brave field]

why are the shenzhen boards so pretty https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003517259374.html

[analog wharf]

lol

[brave field]

They even have white motherboards, which are usually $300+ everywhere else

[unkempt drift]

my old parts were from like a office computer and I had a 1030 in there

[sturdy prism]

Bro they only change the socket type for the new cpus so you gotta upgrade your motherboard

Cash grab

[unkempt drift]

yea that’s what I had to do

[sturdy prism]

Im going to get a 12th gen cpu and ddr5 and a 30 series graphics card... But also be 10,000 in debt

[unkempt drift]

It’s a masterpiece

[brave field]

which parts are left over?

[analog wharf]

disgusting

[unkempt drift]

Don’t bully me

[sturdy prism]

Sheeesh that fan anit even mounted

[unkempt drift]

All of that

In a box

[analog wharf]

that cpu cooler

[unkempt drift]

Yes

I love it

[brave field]

use it, its still useful stuff!

[unkempt drift]

I might re build it in the old case

[analog wharf]

like damn

[sturdy prism]

Mfs nowadays be like - 2500 dollar build

[unkempt drift]

Cable management

[analog wharf]

it disgusting

[unkempt drift]

I mean Ye

Also

The power supply wasn’t in the bottom because the cord was short

so it was next to the motherboard

[sturdy prism]

So its also wasn't bolted down?

[unkempt drift]

Nope

[sturdy prism]

Nice nice

[unkempt drift]

I’m smart

[unkempt drift]

It was like hanging

Vertical

[sturdy prism]

Ay you gotta make it work yk

[unkempt drift]

That’s what I did

lol

I’m glad I upgraded though

[sturdy prism]

Had a old laptop i had to remove the whole ass keyboard and the motherboard was always exposed

[unkempt drift]

I had a old dell laptop

[sturdy prism]

[civic cloud]

[jovial tide]

dude this xbox documentary's awesome

xbox team stole, yep stole, the windows nt code at night to make it work for xbox :/

apparently, the windows team wanted a complete windows for the xbox, while they didn't

[brave field]

Won't be watching yet, do they mention the Dreamcast, the real original xbox, at all?

[analog wharf]

having to compile the kernel is hell

probably another reason why beginners usually stay away from linux

some distros have to make it hard to just complete the basic install process

arch linux is pretty much just having good memory gentoo is an entirely different story

atleast gentoo doesnt use systemd

[brave field]

systemd is good!

[analog wharf]

but artix doesnt use systemd aswell and its pretty much just a better arch

if you didnt have to compile pretty much everything yourself maybe gentoo would be a good alternative to artix/arch linux

arch still has best package manager imo

[brave field]

unless there's more to it (have a model number?), I don't think there's anything super spectacular

[lilac heath]

[unkempt drift]

[unkempt drift]

yea but there more

[jovial tide]

what's the panel?

lower end TN monitors are mediocre

[brave field]

I see no results on displayspecifications, nooooo

VA panel, meh

that price is in line with IPS models

[unkempt drift]

Don’t get it then

I presume

[jovial tide]

Look for Asus monitors

[brave field]

pass from me

but if you do want it, you'll save $20 on Samsung's own site

[brave field]

What would you do?

[jovial tide]

Idk it's a tough question, in Canada most people have like 2-3k after taxes per person per month

A good computer would be a full month's work

I would probably get him/her a good laptop for 1.5k at 10-13 years old. while many people don't really care about this, and buy and give the child the worst of laptops.

[brave field]

wow

big and pricy gift at 10-13

[jovial tide]

Here's my way of thinking

1-Kid needs a PC anyway to be tech literate 2-Most kids play on consoles that's like 500$CAD upwards and I would rather have my kid play at home than to always be at some friend's house for games 3-If he doesn't get a gaming capable PC, he'll never learn how to form a reasonable relationship with games to have a balanced life; which may cause issues later on.
(1500CAD = 1171USD)

[analog wharf]

if parents are gonna give their kids the worst of laptops ok but they should atleast give it the slightest of upgrades which unfortunately most dont

even a cheap sata ssd would do wonders

@lost fossil you can never stop me

I THOUGHT WERE FRIENDS

[vernal turtle]

You. I would like to be able to message you about a request for the server, If That is okay.

A channel request, to be more specific.

[slender trellis]

Can any PCs have animated marquee inside the computer?

[brave field]

yesss

[latent drum]

PC gaming have been sucking shit lately

i hate it

games looking worse than 5 years ago and running at half the fps or more with shit optimizations

[vernal turtle]

Well, could there be a art or fan art channel in this server? It would be easier to post our art

[latent drum]

its really awful
have you guys seen BF2042 or Halo infinite?
games looks like late 2010s

[brave field]

Have the improved on gameplay?

I've heard bad about 2042, but is Infinite good?

[latent drum]

FPS is garbage for the looks

BF2042 is on christmas break
and didnt fix most shit before that break

infinite is boring af
most boring halo i experienced

[lost fossil]

the demand is not rly high enough for that, you'll have to use #archive_media
use @frank agate for suggestions like this

[lost fossil]

no

you need to use some software and some hardware

[vernal turtle]

Okay, thanks for letting me write my idea atleast

[analog wharf]

gaming in general been sucking shit lately

[latent drum]

yes

Halo infinite looks worse than NFS MW 2012

at 30fps

[lost fossil]

man

nfs mw 2012 looks so good for its time

it looks way better than all the need for yeets that came after it

[civic cloud]

Ok old man

[lost fossil]

so that's how it is

[civic cloud]

Yes cri

[plucky raft]

Rude

[latent drum]

fire in the new battlefield is a gif

[brave field]

Why does google translate fail to translate "oskirpichivaniya " and what is it supposed to mean in regards to motherboard BIOS flashing?

[analog wharf]

lmao

What a shame... Tiktok has the most stupid videos (imo) on the planet

It's the Chinese more refined version of Coub.com's idea from Russia

[supple walrus]

Tiktok is the single stupidest invention ever*

[jovial tide]

I completely agree

But a platform without popularity doesn't really matter

[supple walrus]

Genuinely deserves to burn in unholy fire

[supple walrus]

I hate it with every ounce of being

i dont even have an account

@jovial tide @jovial tide

why eyeroll lol @jovial tide

tis fact

[kindred temple]

Tis fact

[supple walrus]

[supple walrus]

Since when did you say tis

[kindred temple]

Lol

I just wanna meme the word tis

[subtle hedge]

Are these specs decent for 1.3k?

HP Pavilion TG01-2360 Gaming PC
AMD Ryzen 7 5700G 3.8GHz Processor; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6; 16GB DDR4-3200 RAM; 512GB Solid State Drive

[civic cloud]

5700G and a dedicated gpu is dumb

[subtle hedge]

So is that bad ?

[strong saffron]

If I cast a higher value than what a data type can hold in C, is there a way to make it equal the highest value? (Other than checking it manually)
eg:

uint8_t x = 300;
// Make x = 255 instead of 45```

https://www.badprog.com/c-type-what-are-uint8-t-uint16-t-uint32-t-and-uint64-t
This makes it seem like what I want is the default behaviour but it isn't

[lilac heath]

G series cpu do not require a dedicated gpu
Whereas X series need a dedicated gpu

[cold elbow]

yeah wasting silicon

[kindred temple]

X stands for XFR, basically AMDs TVB

[kindred temple]

If you upgrade an existing G series system thats no waste

Changing to a 5800x when you already have 5700G is even more of a waste

[cold elbow]

But

The 5800x got discounted

[civic cloud]

Awful explanation for inexperienced people xD

[civic cloud]

ayo what

[kindred temple]

Thats the slogan of Gamers Nexus

[cold elbow]

I met aome people that thinks X cpus should only be used with X boards

[kindred temple]

Lmfao yea

[civic cloud]

Makes sense, they both got X in their name

Aorus Master GPUs should only be used with Aorus Master Mobos as well

[deep wedge]

so does the upcoming dimensity 8000 will beat latest snapdragon?

[kindred temple]

in Security flaw count yes

[trail cape]

Quick question

What pattern with thermal paste is better?

Cross, plus or a dot

[zealous pasture]

so my pc takes a loong time to boot after some random weird shit

i had plugged in my old hdd to get some data(the pc in which it was wasnt even connected to internet ok) and then i removed it

[civic cloud]

Most likely doesn't matter

[lost fossil]

i used to spread but then when i was taking apart my pc i saw that there was barely any toothpaste in the middle of the cpu

i'd still spread with an expired credit card or smth but then ig i'll add a smol blob in the center on top of that
