what about gaming monitors

[jovial tide]

some have bad blacks but high refresh rates, some are 1080p but high refresh rates, some are 4k 30hz, some dont have built in speakers for those who dont have standalone speakers, some can't be wall mounted, some can't be tilted in all directions

[cold elbow]

My monitor is perfect

[jovial tide]

1440p or 4k?

[cold elbow]

1440 165hz ips ultra wide

Also 34 g sync

[regal peak]

My monitor is perfect for me too since I use it almost exclusively to play games

[jovial tide]

is it the gp850 by any chance?

apparently thats a really good monitor

[cold elbow]

No it's lg

[jovial tide]

what model

[cold elbow]

Cant remember

[jovial tide]

gp850 is LG, so it might be that

[cold elbow]

I guess

[jovial tide]

i'll probably get it, looks good for its price point

[civic cloud]

gp850 is a good monitor

[regal peak]

I have a 1080p 240hz

[civic cloud]

LG makes all the good panels anyway

and Samsung

[jovial tide]

yeah that's probably okay for most games, especially if theyre competitive multiplayer. But for high fidelity games like forza i'd probably choose a more expensive 1440p panel anyday

anything above 165-180hz isnt too noticeable either

[regal peak]

I used to be really competitive but I do kinda wish I had gone with a 1440p just so I could appreciate the beauty of games like rdr2 and gta 5 a tad bit more

[cold elbow]

1080 is enough

Especially with today's GPU shortages

[regal peak]

I built my pc like right before the gpu shortages so I managed to get away with a decent one

whatever works for you is always the best

@slim bluff Wasn't it that bpytop came first, and the author moved on to making btop after the ideas were done?

[slim bluff]

idk

just btop is so much more performant when you get down to 100ms

[brave field]

oh, author went from bashtop to bpytop to btop

the colors in yours

is it always less saturated like that?

[slim bluff]

it's the gruvbox dark theme with true colour

[brave field]

thanks friend

@slim bluff Oh, general thing

For programs you install using make, how do you properly uninstall them?

[slim bluff]

you bloody hope there in an uninstall instrution

worse comes the worse you'll need to read the make file for where they have been installed

and delete them

[brave field]

think I'll stick with py until I understand the makefile

[slim bluff]

is bpytop not in your repo?

[brave field]

it and bashtop are, btop isn't

[slim bluff]

ah right

hehehe

tfw when you almost torrent without setting up the vpn first

[jovial tide]

[lost fossil]

tfw when u need to set up a 🅱️pn before torrenting

[fervent granite]

[jovial tide]

All my homies don't use a VPN

[lost fossil]

[fervent granite]

I just forgot to configure it in qbittorrent but I caught myself

[brave field]

legally torrent free and open source linux iso
suspicious letter from ISP in mailbox
Thanks AT&T

[jovial tide]

you can usually ignore the isp letters you get after you torrent something.. but doing it again without a vpn isn't advised

[fervent granite]

or you could play the old man card and pretend you don't understand anything

[jovial tide]

I don't think they would believe a 17 year old has late Alzheimer's and needs a cane to walk

[fervent granite]

You say that like they know who they're talking to

[jovial tide]

If they're sending letters, I doubt they want a friendly email conversation

I don't doubt that someone would show up at some point if you kept downloading torrents after requests to cease

What old man downloads torrents doe 😭

[fervent granite]

[jovial tide]

My headset gave out and I need ideas for a high end PC headset.

[analog wharf]

Fdm

Counts as a torrent kinda

[slim bluff]

I only really ever end up torrenting anime because all of the streaming sites don't even really help the artists, you better torrenting and then donating to a charity that supports them

And the sites UI also suck ass

[ionic thistle]

I prefer direct download since it's safer

[regal peak]

I have well over minimum requirements for windows 11 and settings says I dont

troll face

[small mural]

Do you have TPM 2.0

[slim bluff]

It's compatibility rather than specs

[regal peak]

yeah. thats the weirdest part

PC Health check says my pc has all the requirements but my settings says it doesnt

im gonna try flashing the bios

[small mural]

You can install it through the Win11 installation assistant

[arctic yarrow]

Just making sure I'm using the correct formula. To calculate the propagation time between 2 links, I divide the propagation velocity by the distance and convert to ms, right?

For instance, the propagation velocity of a typical fiber optic link is 0.66c, which is roughly equivalent to 2 x 10^8 m/s. Say I have a link length of 100km, I divide 100,000 meters with the propagation velocity, then multiply by 1000 to get the propagation delay in ms.

So that would be a propagation delay of roughly 0.5ms.

[regal peak]

i need help my screen likes to flash black for like a second when I do shit like fullscreening a stream on discord ive tired everything

grrrr

[cold elbow]

Might be free sync/g-sync thingy

[regal peak]

hmm ive tried turning g sync on and off and it did pretty much nothing

this happens with like streams on discord, face cams on discord, youtube embeds on discord, and the little pop up videos on steam, my whole screen just goes black for a second or two

[cold elbow]

What about overlays

Or free sync

And tbh I can't understand what is going on by your explanation

[regal peak]

its hella hard to explain, but pretty much when someone is streaming a game or something on discord, and almost everything I do causes the screen to just go black for a second, like if I tab out, switch to another server, switch to another application, etc.

[fierce ether]

someone teach me lua

[jovial tide]

??

how does this work?

[brave field]

might include other types of videos, cached items, or things like downloaded advertisements, if you don't have those blocked

[jovial tide]

but shouldn't those videos show up in the files

I barely have anything

Also what downloaded advertisements?

I'm searching for big filed through zarchiver, what folders should I look in?

@brave field

[brave field]

/android/obb and /android/media on your internet are common places for caches

malicious awful apps that like to download ads to show them when you're offline use their own location under /android/data

your own material likely defaults to a DCIM folder

If you're using an SD card or adoptable storage at all, that often contributes to the storage breakdown at the bottom too, check in there if so

[jovial tide]

I'm in that folder, what to remove?

[brave field]

whatever large file is causing the problems. Go into each app's subdirectory (or if they have a separate, suspiciously-named one, in there) and see if there's anything big

[jovial tide]

Like app>files ?

[brave field]

if the app's directory is structured like it, or the file manager you use shows the folder is large, yes

[jovial tide]

it's done

60gb of nothing gone

[gloomy bridge]

my hdmi keeps getting fucked ive had the port replaced and it worked for a while but its acting up again the cables fine its been replaced a few times anyone know how to fix (its a ps4)

[pliant gazelle]

Hey I don't know if this is anything for tech support, but I have a weird issue involving steam. For some reason it bugs out and crashes whenever I use my library and wall paper engine crashes after 5 seconds each time I've restarted my computer.

I've tried updating but the install is stuck on 93%.

Not to mention something is preventing the .ico files from loading my downloads pictures on my desktop.

[pliant gazelle]

This is resolved now. My hard drive broke on me.

i'd get all white if it didn't have a huge tax

and yeah, white dont stay white, I learnt that the hard way with my white grey shoes

[jovial tide]

the actual color is supposed to be gray. It just looks whiter on camera

[reef hedge]

that happened to my friend eric once

nice, if you're upgrading from a hdd it'll be a massive increase in smoothness

[ionic thistle]

y'all know what's the shortcut to increase and decrease the audio ?

[jovial tide]

Search "sound settings" in the Windows search bar

[ionic thistle]

okay and ?

[jovial tide]

That should be it. Once you click on it you'll see controls for every app

[ionic thistle]

oh
i mean like whats the shortcut to do it like the ones in laptops

since the volume might be too high when playing a game

[ionic thistle]

does it work for laptops only or ?
cuz its not working for me

[jovial tide]

I thought you're on a laptop

[ionic thistle]

im on desktop now, i used to use a laptop so thats why i thought it was the same

[jovial tide]

If you're not on a laptop, those buttons won't exist on a keyboard usually. Just gotta adjust it manually

You can create shortcuts and stuff but yeah I have no idea how to do that really

[ionic thistle]

sorry for wasting your time

[jovial tide]

No worries xd

[civic cloud]

Some keyboards have those shortcuts built in

[ionic thistle]

lemme check the manual on mine rq

[civic cloud]

I mean, it's usually printed on the keys

All the dust

It's less duty than it looks like, i promise

[jovial tide]

My old one had a volume dial, I miss that volume dial.

[civic cloud]

You can buy volume dials

Like just a knob with usb

[jovial tide]

Yeah ig, more wires tho

[civic cloud]

Yeah thought about it, but it's kinda silly

[ionic thistle]

mine says it has it

[jovial tide]

I think you can setup Alexa with stuff like this, I might try it. That'd be cool

[ionic thistle]

but it doesnt seem to work

[civic cloud]

frick

maybe you turned secondary key bindings off by accident?

[ionic thistle]

how do i do that

[civic cloud]

depends on your keyboard idk

[ionic thistle]

lemme see, gonna get the box out again

nope

lemme just tap from f1 to f12 and see

FOUND IT

it was f2-4

while the manual says its f10 to 12

[pliant charm]

This may not be the right channel for this, but does someone know what is happing with my TV?

It kinda just flickers like this now

[jovial tide]

Try another HDMI cable. Find the cheapest possible fixes first

[pliant charm]

There’s nothing connected to it

Might be the power cable, but I can’t really get it out

[jovial tide]

Oh, hm

What brand of TV is it

[pliant charm]

Like i was playing ps3 went inside my ship in AC roque and it started doing this, I disconnected everything and now it just does this

[pliant charm]

Samsung

Ive had it since like 2019, tho I don’t really use it that much

[jovial tide]

Yeah try these:

also try to change the power cable to a diff one, and check if it's the right one for that TV

[pliant charm]

I did 1, didnt work, currently doing 2, but I can’t do the rest tho cause I can’t use my tv, doesn’t ket me do anything

[jovial tide]

Hopefully 2 resets any faulty settings that were enabled or something

[pliant charm]

The only thing connected to it is the power cable itself

[jovial tide]

And is it the same cable that came with the TV?

[pliant charm]

Yeah

I always use the supplied cables

[jovial tide]

hm yeah I have no idea what could be wrong with it that you could fix yourself

Is it a new issue?

[pliant charm]

I mean ive never seen it before

I first thought my game glitched, then my ps3 and when I unplugged everything it still does the same

[lunar anvil]

i am about to perform a clean install on my pc

should i stay on win11 or downgrade back to win10

[analog wharf]

upgrade back to win10

[lunar anvil]

any difference in gta v, battlefield 4 and nfs heat?

[analog wharf]

Ehh

Wont impact gaming much

Just downgrade to win 10 for more functionality

Rtm version of 11 have less functionality cant even drag and drop apps to taskbar

[lunar anvil]

literally

that annoys me af

so ima upload my saved passwords to my google drive and go back to win10

[pliant charm]

Yeah its still broken, even with a new power cable it still does the same

Well rip $1200 TV

[fervent granite]

downgrade you mean

[arctic yarrow]

When attempting to access an FTP server created by vsftpd, I encounter this error:

Login failed.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection```
All sources point to SELinux disabling access, but SELinux is currently disabled. Does anyone know what other reason it's not able to use that directory for the FTP server?

Here's the contents of my vsftpd.conf file.

[analog wharf]

no

[arctic yarrow]

Ok, I have a (small) workaround. I can set up the local root on the primary drive, but apparently am not able to set it up on my secondary drive. It will work temporarily for small files, but 250GB<8TB.

Just for shits and giggles though, I'm gonna link the entire drive instead of a specific directory after doing a recursive chmod.

I got a different error this time:

Login failed.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection```

I assume adding the line "allow_writeable_chroot=YES" will fix that though

Hell yes, I'm in.

Apparently vsftpd will not work unless every single point in the path is set up with the correct permissions, not just the directory.

shit, still not working on the intended path

same error, "cannot change directory"

Maybe the directory itself is corrupt somehow

NVM, linking the directory specifically instead of using "$USER" fixes that.

Gonna test FTP access on windows now

It works flawlessly

Sorry about that massive block of text but I guess typing out the problem and possible solutions seemed to have made the brain juices flow and help me resolve the issue.

I did it guys! I'm not an absolute moron with linux!

[civic cloud]

lets goooo

[arctic yarrow]

So... off topic a little bit, but ryzen 7000 series might release either Q4 of this year or Q1 of next year because of TSMC's issues with 3nm process. Should I just bite the bullet and grab a 5600x with an x570 motherboard when prices go down in July? I think I'd have a decent upgrade path up to the 5950x if needed in the future.

[civic cloud]

i mean, do you need to upgrade now?

like, really?

[arctic yarrow]

No, but the upgrade itch is getting unbearable xD

[civic cloud]

resist the urge to consume

[arctic yarrow]

I want to move on from 4 cores

[civic cloud]

seems reasonable

i mean if you really want to upgrade, go grab a 5600X

will do just fine

[arctic yarrow]

We'll see how everything progresses, but come July I'll likely pull the trigger.

[arctic yarrow]

That's when I believe prices will be the lowest.

On top of that, I'll have more disposable income since I'm not taking classes this summer and will use that time for some on the side work.

3050 ofc

[broken aspen]

is the $200 difference worth it then?

😔🤙

[lilac heath]

How much is the price of 3050 rn?

[broken aspen]

i dont know but im looking at prebuilts and the difference of these two is only $200

so im wondering if its worth getting the more expensive one

[lilac heath]

Cost of prebuild then?

[lilac heath]

Bruh

Way too expensive

Definitely not worth

[broken aspen]

you think so?

would be it better if i just got the parts myself then?

let me show u another opten

option

[lilac heath]

Ngl this prebuild should be around $1k

Max

[lilac heath]

Ripoff

[broken aspen]

im glad i came here before making an impulse decision

[lilac heath]

What's ur budget btw

[broken aspen]

$1500 a little more or less

etsy

[lilac heath]

https://nzxt.com/product/the-starter

[broken aspen]

is there anything more um “tough”

Rtx 3060 is a good gpu

$1200 is the cost of prebuild

U can do 1440p and 4k gaming on it easily

[hollow wedge]

urgent

[broken aspen]

looks promising

i just dont wanna make any expensive mistakes

[lilac heath]

Get parts seperately then,It'll be cheaper
But more time consuming and complicated

[broken aspen]

i dont do too well with complicated🫠

hold up

[broken aspen]

u mean get the exact things of this pc and just build it?

is 500gb ssd too little?

[lost fossil]

for everything - yes. for windows only, 250gb is more than enough

[fervent granite]

throw in a 1 tb storage hdd and you're good to go

[broken aspen]

i see

ight i think i know what to do

can yall help me build it?🙏

[fervent granite]

plenty of youtube videos on it

[lilac heath]

U can get the gpu for less price,other components might cost same as compared to the prebuild

[fervent granite]

gpu for les price

doubt it

[lilac heath]

Gpu prices are falling almost daily now

Yea

Triple fan would be expensive ofc

[broken aspen]

will it make that much of a difference if i built it myself?

a pc only has 4 parts?

6?

[fervent granite]

way more than that

just look up stuff and you'll get a feel for what you need

[broken aspen]

alr

[lost fossil]

man i really wanted to get a gigabyte 3080 vision at the end of 2020

had several options to choose from

[lilac heath]

At msrp?

[broken aspen]

last question. lets say i get this but im upgrade storage. what should i use to upgrade that?

[fervent granite]

emmc storage

[broken aspen]

[civic cloud]

But gigabyte trash

[broken aspen]

good?

[lilac heath]

U can expand the storage by putting an ssd

[civic cloud]

Fuck hdds, ssd best

[fervent granite]

hdd better for hoarding

[lunar anvil]

hdd pretty enough for documents photos musics etc but for games go for an ssd

[analog wharf]

Actually for games a hdd is better

More storage for cheaper usually

Use ssd as boot drive and hdd for games/documents

And it only really makes a difference to story mde loading, online loading more depends on your internet

So for online only games ssd doesnt help much

And seagate drives are kinda shit, get a wd blue

[lunar anvil]

some games like rust differ a lot

rust on hdd takes 30-40 minutes if you're joining to a server for the first time

[civic cloud]

If you don't mind waiting longer in every loading screen, sure

[lunar anvil]

and stay away from adata su630 and su650 if you're looking for a sata ssd

[civic cloud]

^

[analog wharf]

I prefer to use hdd tbh

and my ssd is pretty small

And as i said before, even tho you can find cheap ssds you still can find cheaper hdds with more storage

Personally i only use my ssd for OS and some other stuff

No games atm after my clean install

And if you have 50kbps and 100ms internet connection an ssd wont really help with online games

It'll make loading singleplayer games alot faster though

[slim bluff]

price is generally the best indicator

well

not always

1080 is steal

[broken aspen]

so ssd>hdd for games?

[analog wharf]

hdd > ssd for online games
ssd > hdd for singleplayer games

[civic cloud]

SSD>HDD

always

literally always

*if your budget allows it

[lost fossil]

a big qlc drive is perfect for games

hello gaus

[lost fossil]

as i was saying

qlc is bad because low write endurance

but for games it's not a problem because you write once and forget about it

[analog wharf]

i finally got msi afterburner to work after clean installing on my ssd

[slim bluff]

made a super inefficient sorting algorithm in my programming language

  $..0 check 0 eq -> $..0 pass_through sort
  $..0

3 12 5 sort OUTPUT

[lunar anvil]

ssd's are becoming cheaper as the time passes so ssd will be superior to hdd in every aspect after some time

[slim bluff]

thread 'main' has overflowed its stack
fatal runtime error: stack overflow
fish: Job 1, 'cargo run' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)

[lunar anvil]

do i use this channel to get tech support for other games?

[jovial tide]

as long as it isnt gta, go ahead i guess

[lunar anvil]

in csgo and valorant, i am having some freeze issues

when someone plants/defuses the bomb in csgo and when someone uses a spray in valorant

[lunar anvil]

my system is well enough for both of these games

i own an i7 9750h paired with a gtx 1650

i performed a clean install after having some files corrupt but issue still persists

no no

the game freezes for a second and its back normal

both of these components never exceed 70 degrees

installing the game on a ssd seems to dilute the issue but it still persist sometimes

yes

when the game goes normal the temps are like 72 and drops quickly

both goes around that mark

they're not exactly the same but they're like 73-71 or 72-73

ultimate performance

i dont have any recorders installed and only discord

maybe sometimes microsoft edge and thats it

[analog wharf]

aight i changed fan speed in msi afterburner to 60 pog

[cold elbow]

Why would u do that

[analog wharf]

who?

[cold elbow]

U

[analog wharf]

lower temps better

[cold elbow]

Are you using a custom curve?

[analog wharf]

No curve shit im too lazy

i just unticked auto and manually set it to 60

[cold elbow]

[analog wharf]

and its staying like that because im too lazy to setup a curve

[lunar anvil]

i dont have any other antivirus than that though

[cold elbow]

It takes few seconds

Lazybum

[analog wharf]

aight

and i think im also gonna tick apply on windows startup

[cold elbow]

Yes also

[analog wharf]

done

[lunar anvil]

maybe i can go for kaspersky and whitelist the games there

[cold elbow]

Temp and power limit to max

[analog wharf]

i literally just downloaded msi afterburner to change fan speeds tbh

And why would i set temp limit to max

[cold elbow]

And temp limit

[analog wharf]

Its currently at 83c, just the temp it throttles at

[cold elbow]

To stop it from throttling

[lunar anvil]

alright

[analog wharf]

Who cares, i never reach 83c

[cold elbow]

Gpu boost starts throttling at 62C

[analog wharf]

on 1060?

[cold elbow]

Yes

[analog wharf]

Ehh

[cold elbow]

I used to overclock my 1060 a lot

So i know a lot about it lol

[analog wharf]

But honestly real thermal throttling that starts to make a huge difference only really starts at 83c+

I just installed it to change my fan speed

[cold elbow]

Whatever float your boat i guess

[analog wharf]

I dont really care about the throttling when it only really starts to make a difference at 83c anyways

[lunar anvil]

that did not solve the issue

[analog wharf]

I changed speed slightly to 70 percent

loud is better

[lunar anvil]

happens only when i die, the bomb is planted/defused or someone close to me uses a spray ingame

some people do but they don't know how it got fixed

probably a game bug because everyone said it went away randomly

i used the bloat remover to disable defender and now some bits are still off

i will install bitdefender and add my games to the whitelist

if i don't like the result i will go without both

i dont install sus software

[analog wharf]

not really

[lunar anvil]

i know what i'm doing but phishing websites creep me sometimes

[analog wharf]

not all avs are trash

some good ones are bitdefender, malwarebytes especially and windows defender is getting better and better over time but still hogs resources

[lunar anvil]

well avast and avg are clearly trash but malwarebytes and bitdefender are great

[analog wharf]

also something exists called a worm that can spread through your network so before following "experienced peoples" tips of uninstalling avs/firewalls and shit say no fucking thanks

just because you are "experienced and know what youre doing" you never know

for example if there is someone else e.g a family member on your network who might know less about pcs, they can always accidentally click on a shady link and end up with a worm infecting all the pcs on your network, i'd like you to guess a good way to stop that without an antivirus you so called "tech experts"

to the tech experts

p.s an antivirus/firewall is always necessary

true but ye

im just sayin the truth

[civic cloud]

Windows Defender ist best

Least Ressource intensive

[analog wharf]

just dont download advast/avg get a proper av like kaspersky, malwarebytes, bitdefender or the preinstalled windows defender on all windows10/11 machines which is also quite good

[brave field]

[civic cloud]

Many thanks 🤝

[analog wharf]

I mean does it actually help

i swear i watched pc securityc hannels video on it

basically, the malware can still kinda infect your pc

in some ways, a standard account is worse

and malware will still infect your pc that more depends on common sense and your antivirus

I guess a standard accoutn can be useful if someone is borrowing your pc for example, there is less permissions so chances are they cant mess as much stuff up

[brave field]

What he said in his video still backs up the claim though, he just says it isn't as effective as most people say. He loses his virtual external drives and samba shares to the ransomware because Windows doesn't require admin to mount a partition

[analog wharf]

there is still stuff they could mess up but slightly less

[analog wharf]

a standard account can be usful but tbh as he said its not really as effective as said

the only time i would use a standard account if maybe someone else was borrowing my pc for example

it doesnt really protect you from malwares, have some common sense and also use a good av

but it could be good for people borrowing your pc, they cant really open apps that require admin account/admin privileges as easily and they cant install apps outside of the microsoft store as easily either afaik

and yea due to those restrictions it can be better in somew ays

[brave field]

This is why the world needs more hypervisor options
Instead of having people use your PC, have them use a non-existent one in fullscreen

[analog wharf]

honestly the only good hypervisors are qemu and vmware imo

virtualbox can go in the trash

[fervent granite]

forgot hyper-v and parallels

[slim bluff]

every index past the 0th index

the 0th index is far right and nth is far left

yeah

so the parameters to a container is just an array

and it follows rusts method of creating ranges

2..5 would be index 2 to 4

except in my language that would be 4..2

because it's postfix arrays are reversed

yes

do you have 1..

first index and onwards

[analog wharf]

hyperv is ehh

good for enterprises ig

for the average user vmware or qemu is better

[jovial tide]

I'm running linux mint, does anyone know a way to use opengl or vulkan with gta?

PlayOnLinux too I think

I do have directx, its just that it performs really badly

Welcome to Linux

[analog wharf]

i mean linux gaming is still kinda ehh

if you know what you're doing and have a extra gpu to use for your host i would fire up a windows vm and use gpu passthrough

There is tutorials

[jovial tide]

So much aggravation to play GTA 5 smoothly

[exotic patrol]

Linux Gaming is like macOS gaming

[analog wharf]

its still better than macos gaming

macos gaming

[jovial tide]

true

and i think it was just a one time incident actually after a bit of playing the micro stutters arent nearly as bad

only getting 10fps in a bunker tho lol

[analog wharf]

ya

try gpu passthrough

on a vm

[jovial tide]

its fine outside im getting 100fps but in a bunker my gpu usage is 100% and my fps is 5-10

[analog wharf]

does the same thing happen in any other interiors? probably just a game bug

but yea i would give gpu passthrough a go

[jovial tide]

ill try that

[jovial tide]

ill try it

ok no my whole game is running at 5 fps ima try a new session

[arctic yarrow]

Steam has a compatibility layer called proton installed by default. You can use that for gaming. Keep in mind you will be instantly permanently banned if you try it on destiny 2, fortnite, and rogue company because the devs are dicks.

[jovial tide]

I am using proton, but srsly, you get banned on those games for compatability? its almost as if they dont want a wider audience lol. good thing i dont play any of them lmao

[arctic yarrow]

The owner of epic games has a stick up his ass for anything valve, and bungie doesn't want to put in the minimal work required to enable anticheat through proton, despite it already being supported.

[jovial tide]

oof, that sucks for fans of those games who thought they were gonna get better fps on linux and then just got their acc banned

[arctic yarrow]

Yup, and they say it's a non-appealable permaban. All because they want to use an alternative OS or the Steam Deck.

On a side note, I actually don't know what kinda black magic valve dumped into proton, but some games, most notably elden ring, have better fps when going through proton.

[jovial tide]

what version of proton should I use?

[small mural]

You want to game on.. Linux?

Interesting

[arctic yarrow]

Well, I think linux gaming will hit a golden age since Valve released the steam deck (which runs on a modified arch distro). This may most likely cause devs to work on proton support for their games and ensure either native or proton compatibility in the future.

Except Tim Sweeny. Fuck him.

[civic cloud]

Sweeny has a smoll weeny

[arctic yarrow]

Sweeny got outcompeted by Gabey and he's angwy.

[lost fossil]

if deck takes off for real, do you think this will generate enough bad press?

[arctic yarrow]

For Destiny... maybe. For Fortnite and Rogue Company, not a chance because of Tim Sweeny.

[bronze gorge]

[brave field]

Sweeney is cringe

expressing that Linux support allowing a few extremely knowledgeable people compile their own kernels with cheats would kill their games, but also expressing that there aren't enough Linux users to make any noticeable positive or negative differences in the same tweet is lame

He says this right after removing Linux and Mac support for Rocket League, and then making Fortnite playable on Android...
Somehow, there were no complaints about Gentoo users on Rocket League before he bought Psyonix, strange.

[arctic yarrow]

Compiling your own kernel just to cheat on a game sounds like too much work for the demographic who cheats on online games in the first place.

[brave field]

Don't mind me, just gonna quickly study and understand 30 years' worth of source code and improvements, and modify it well enough for EAC to not complain so I can use aimbot.py

[sour marsh]

if only they'd release it in Norway

It's a joke that Norway is not recognized by valve

[arctic yarrow]

Well, valve did explicitly say they're initially shipping tot he US, Canada, EU members, and the UK.

Norway isn't in the EU currently.

[sour marsh]

ah yes Norway is not part of EU

basically a middle finger

[arctic yarrow]

You could have a proxy reserve it in one of those regions, then ship it to you. However, I'm unsure if your steam account would work on the deck. I assume it would though since all it is is hardware and a modified linux distro with steam installed on it.

[civic cloud]

[frigid echo]

at least they are on the AMD side - the Nvidia side still bonkers

[lilac heath]

True
3050 still costs around $400

[jovial tide]

I'm excited to see the RX7000 series, might end up copping one.. usually I'm a massive rtx fan but the performance of the 6900XT is nearly the same as the 3090 with better power efficiency, very interesting

[lilac heath]

But less vram

[lilac heath]

Depends on the pricing tbh

There are also some reports suggesting that gpu prices might even fall below their msrp due to excess supply cuz crypto mining has become less profitable due to which miners have flooded ebay with used cards

[jovial tide]

16 is more than enough in most circumstances tho, it'll probably increase with the next series

I honestly hope the prices are reasonable, I'll be saving up from now until like January when they're available so

get this owosuplex

[neon bluff]

Hello friens,
I have a quick and probably stupid question. My knowledge when it comes to pc parts n stuff is absolutely non-existent.
So basically my question is:

Is my Motherboard ( Asus m5a78l-m/usb3 ) compatible with an Intel Core I5-10400F?

Thanks for the help :)

[neon bluff]

so technically i would need an AMD CPU again? i see

thank you for clearing that up :)

Do you have any recommendations for AMD Cpus in a similar price and performance range?

Don't laugh at it, it's absolute garbage

It's an AMD fx-8350

I just wanna upgrade to something that can actually run stuff ehh

[arctic yarrow]

No offence, but that board won't be able to run anything newer than a 2012 AMD processor.

[neon bluff]

I understand, i bought it used so well

I'm really grateful for your help :)

[arctic yarrow]

8350 is kinda ancient though. It will struggle with modern titles.

[neon bluff]

It struggles with Valorant and having Discord open on my Second monitor

So ehh

Lag spikes is all i can say

It runs smooth, but has lag spikes from time to time

Like, without having discord open it runs with no lag spikes. Discord is just using so much cpu stuff

[arctic yarrow]

If you're budget concious, an office PC with at least a 7th gen intel i5 processor would work ok. Otherwise I recommend a B350 motherboard with a Ryzen 5 3600.

Youll need to get a ddr4 kit with that too.

[neon bluff]

So that like a full upgrade-

[arctic yarrow]

Yeah, but your current motherboard is already at the end of it's upgrade cycle.

[neon bluff]

well, what did i expect for like 230 bucks-

Is there any ways i can limit the cpu usage of discord?

[arctic yarrow]

Unfortunately not.

[neon bluff]

Oof

[arctic yarrow]

Yes, but that would make discord run worse and potentially cause it to crash.

[neon bluff]

Thank you guys for the help :)

[arctic yarrow]

Np

[lost fossil]

that cpu with its 8 cores is probably worse than a modern intel based office typewriter

[cold elbow]

what the fridge

[arctic yarrow]

I wouldn't worry about cards that were used to mine with. Most of the time miners underclock the card and keep it at a constant temperature. Gaming stresses out graphics cards more than mining because of stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction.

[lilac heath]

[analog wharf]

honestly i would say true and anyways i get higher temps gaming than mining

[calm shale]

whats 1+1 icant solve it

help

[lost fossil]

[calm shale]

[arctic yarrow]

It's not the higher temps that concern me most, it's temperature fluctuations. Ever cracked a glass fresh out of the dishwasher drying cycle by pouring cold water in it? Same principle.

[astral sphinx]

Yes... but a DNS issue is the most likely cause because websites take a long time to load.

Need a suggestion

Should I buy a laptop w GTX1650/Quad-core i5 11th gen for $875

Or a laptop with GTX3050/Ryzen 7 5800H for $1050

is the extra bucks worth it for the upgrade?

[twin badger]

Id say yeah

Obviously i would always suggest a desktop PC, but i am just gonna assume you are some sort of a college student

or something like that

someone who needs to move the PC quite often

[slim stream]

Laptop is better now but you can't upgrade it

[lilac heath]

At msrp

[last drum]

yes

[last drum]

i dont follow

[lilac heath]

Desktop 3050 is obviously much better than the laptop version

[slim stream]

I mean the components in the laptop would give you better performance if you went with it over the desktop computer, but you can’t upgrade a laptop after you buy it. So while it would be a great machine for a couple of years, if a component fails you’re screwed, and you can’t upgrade any internal hardware to keep it a beast with modern games

Unlike if you went with the desktop, which has weaker internals but you can upgrade them and sell off older parts as much as you want as you save up money. So in the longer term the desktop would be the better option

[last drum]

yh but I go to college in a few months so I'd rather buy a laptop

Thus the decision between the two laptops at hand

[arctic yarrow]

Why not go with what I do and use a cheap laptop and a gaming desktop?

Aside from the graphics card upgrade
That ryzen CPU destroys the intel in terms of every fucking thing
U get more cores, better battery life and lower temperatures that will leave thermal headroom for the GPU to boost higher or stay cooler.

Try selling it on your local classifieds? Do cash only though, people can claim fraud if you use paypal or venmo.

And only plan to meet in a public place where there's a lot of people around.

If you're currently taking F2F classes at a college or uni, that's a good place to do the transaction.

Just a random question M1 vs rtx 3050ti mobile which one is better for 3D Design (blender,etc)? I need opinions + reason

[civic cloud]

3050ti cuz apple gay

[arctic yarrow]

Here's a chart comparing the M1 to some RTX 3000 series in video editing software:

I'll try to find some 3d editing benchmarks, but it looks promising.

Here's a comparison between a mobile 3060 and the m1 max in blender:

[civic cloud]

the M1 is only good in video rendering because of the software magic apple is doing

also high bandwith ram

[arctic yarrow]

So the max would be either comparable or slightly better than the 3050 in blender considering these results. The M1 pro or regular M1 would not be comparable.

[civic cloud]

is the max the new one?

or is that the ultra?

[arctic yarrow]

M1 ultra is the newest one, which performs better than the M1 Max.

[civic cloud]

is the next one going to called Super Ultra?

[arctic yarrow]

Dunno

[civic cloud]

should have went with M1, M2, M3

[arctic yarrow]

Marketing > Common sense naming schemes apparently.

[civic cloud]

at least its not as bad as with USB Standards

[arctic yarrow]

You want USB 3.1 Rev 2?

[civic cloud]

[arctic yarrow]

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2

[civic cloud]

stop

[arctic yarrow]

What's next? USB 3.2 gen 2x4?

Image of usb slapped on a 2x4 beam emerges

[lost fossil]

minus one that's usb 3 quic maffs

[cold elbow]

I want HDMI 2.1 but not really

[agile siren]

Probably because it has better and faster hardware encoder then NVENC.

and yes the high bandwidth memory.

[lilac heath]

Did u find an rx6700xt at msrp?

They are available at amd's own website

But performance of 6700xt is between 3060ti and 3070

[jovial tide]

Ah yes the 7308

Performance of a I72 is crazy

And the speed of the ZR52 is incredible

I must say

[arctic yarrow]

@jovial tide There's a shitposting channel in case you weren't aware. I advise you go there.

[jovial tide]

No no I'm talking about PC parts

[arctic yarrow]

Well, unless you're talking about very niche equipment, what you mentioned does not exist.

[jovial tide]

I have probably spelt them wrong

[lilac heath]

[jovial tide]

Could've just said you were shitposting, it'd save you a few words

[fickle eagle]

What’s a good amount of ssd space to have, I’m gonna be using this pc for gaming so I don’t think I need to much

Is 512gb enough

Or could I get away with 256gb

[lost fossil]

gaming = at least a tb

if ur only gonna store games on it then qlc is good enough, qlc drives are cheap enougg that you can potentially even get 2tb

[fickle eagle]

Hmm alright

Also what does p1 and p2 mean on nvme

[arctic yarrow]

My kubuntu install got fubar on my server, and I didn't have a kubuntu install on my bootable flash drive at the time, so I installed zorin on it to get it back up and running. It actually seems to perform better and has less instability than my kubuntu install.

I wonder why kubuntu hated my machine tho. Maybe it had something to do with the hardware config.

[lilac heath]

No

[jovial tide]

Ima guess it means partitions

But I don't know much lol

[brave field]

the performance and oddities are features in KDE, not bugs

They had to do it so they could implement the Wobbly Windows animation

[arctic yarrow]

Seems kinda dumb tbh.

[jovial tide]

i read it ''tech-coding-meth''

[arctic yarrow]

Tbf, code that runs properly the first time after you write it out gives a high like meth.

[lunar anvil]

does control flow guard really decrease performance

[quiet moss]

anyone familiar with programming can give some suggestion?
There's a simulation game called 'OMSI2', which is a bus simulator, but suffers from freezing screens and lagging, long loading time etc.
I tried the method as how t0st fix GTAO, using the luke stackwalker, which turns out most function are function started with 'nt', such as 'ntreadfiles'
I am not a pro but I believe this is why its lagging as well as its a 32 bit software
anyone have any idea for 'rewriting' the game? Thx a lot

[arctic yarrow]

What you're asking is very complex, and most of us (including me) are amateurs at programming. You might want to browse around in stack overflow or some other place for similar solutions.

[analog wharf]

idk but what im looking for is a 6600xt

[quiet moss]

okok Thx a lot

@hexed crystal Played around with it a bit more, this is what my fps is with max settings (RTX on, DLSS Quality)

FPS is rather low however, after doing some tests

So I'm wondering what's wrong, cause seeing public benchmarks on this game, people were getting 90-100fps low with DLSS and I ain't even getting that

[hexed crystal]

Uh

Probably ultra preformance with low settings

[sour marsh]

Does almost nothing

the game is kinda wacky

[hexed crystal]

Uh no?

[sour marsh]

I am getting subpar 100 fps on ultra with DLSS quality on 3080

I do not know why

[hexed crystal]

Ultra performance DLSS can take you from 40 fps to 90

I get 60-70 fps with Performance DLSS on ultra settings on a 3060

1080p too

[sour marsh]

join vc

level 25

[hexed crystal]

cant

At work

[sour marsh]

😵‍💫

[sour marsh]

thanks, undead is getting 60fps now

same settings as you just said now

[hexed crystal]

Lol there we go

[jovial tide]

Threw it on Balanced as a test, and it's pretty nice

[hexed crystal]

Usually i dip to low 60 in high density areas such as the cities but ill get 80-90 in the badlands

Nvidia dlss is a lifesaver

[jovial tide]

Any quality changes between balanced and performance? Or rather any significant ones?

[sour marsh]

,

[civic cloud]

Why are you so wide

[jovial tide]

That's normally how the game is. It's probably the car that makes it look wide

Might also be cause I use 90fov

ignore the bad words

to show 1=2

Yeah no, I don't think that's appropriate

[civic cloud]

its also wrong

Nerd

[fervent granite]

you didn't even have to do all that work because it's already known that a is equal to b and 1, not that that makes 2 = 1 or anything but it's just wasted effort

[jovial tide]

#memes-and-shitposting please :)

[lost fossil]

man

i kinda hate how techtubers talk about cases fitting the biggest gpus but they don't talk about xfx merc cards which are the longest modern cards at 340mm

[arctic yarrow]

Well... xfx is trash tier.

[lost fossil]

well

in the current market u get what u can

[arctic yarrow]

Then again, I have a grudge against them ever since they denied an RMA for a DOA gpu.

Claimed I "overclocked it".

It didn't even display right out of the box.

I still have that dead rx 570 gathering dust in my closet.

[brave field]

No display :(

Does its VRAM or video encode/decode or compute engines work? Any chance it could be useful to toss into your server?

[arctic yarrow]

worth a try I guess.

[jovial tide]

Got a question for my ebay listing. So I'm selling my GPU(s) and was wondering, should I list the specs for the card to make it more "official" (I guess?) or do I just list about the card itself? Like for example how long it's been used and whatnot

[brave field]

Absolutely list the specs if the GPU is one that has multiple SKUs using different dies or VRAM configs. "GTX 1060," for example, could be any of 5 distinct GPUs, which could make an auction sell at much higher prices.

[jovial tide]

What about the GTX 1660?

Specifically the Gigabyte model

[brave field]

Probably would just list which Gigabyte model/cooler it is and leave it. There's only one desktop 1660 out, so the cooler (and making sure you don't sell a 1660 Ti or 1660 Super at 1660 prices) is all that changes between the branded options.

[jovial tide]

Alrighty, both my main cards are up hopefully I get some offers

[lilac heath]

Gpu market is falling now

[jovial tide]

All the more reason someone goes ahead and actually buys them

[twin badger]

But not for as high of a price

[jovial tide]

No one is gonna buy a 1660 for a high price regardless lmao

[lilac heath]

1660 is a good gpu for mining

[jovial tide]

Laughs in proof of stake

[lost fossil]

that will keep getting delayed

[jovial tide]

[ionic thistle]

okay~~ but can it run crysis tho~~

Is there a way to turn off the BIOS sound on Steam Deck?

[slim bluff]

I wonder what a mathematician would do when they see x = x + 1 in a code base

[cursive token]

what value is x?

as x is most likely DEF

[slim bluff]

x could be any number. Int or float it doesn't matter

although most languages will likely abstract this statement to x++ or x+=1

[arctic yarrow]

I keep myself sane by telling myself "=" is an assignment operator, while "==" is an equal-to operator.

Of course, I've now started using "==" in mathematics, soooo....

[slim bluff]

just wait until you get to ===

js is wonky

JS

> 12 == "12"
true

Python

>>> 12 == "12"
False

[arctic yarrow]

In python, an Int can't be equal to a Str IIRC.

I assume in JS 12 === 12.0 would return false, right?

Since strict equality factors in types as well.

[slim bluff]

nope

> 12 === 12.0
true

[arctic yarrow]

Hmm, so Python's "==" is equivalent to JS "==="

[slim bluff]

my language is the same

eq 12 12.0 => true

yes

[arctic yarrow]

Well, easy enough to fix that in python:

True```

[slim bluff]

python is just significantly better than js in every way

> [12, 345, 234, 1]+[]
"12,345,234,1"

[arctic yarrow]

JS is faster though.

[slim bluff]

in what way

[arctic yarrow]

In executing loops.

[slim bluff]

depends how you go about it

[arctic yarrow]

This is also true, you can loop utilizing C in python.

[slim bluff]

you could jit compile a recursive function or memoize a function in python

i'm implementing tail recursion optimisation right now in my language so it doesn't have a conventional function recursion depth like python or javascript

[arctic yarrow]

Reminder though, you're still talking to a noob at programming. I still don't know why classes exist in python and why/how you would implement them.

[slim bluff]

in the future you'll be learn all about them... and then you will realise that simplicity is just so much better and classes can go fuck themselves

[strong saffron]

Regarding the why: I just use them whenever I find myself passing in and returning the same set of variables out of several functions.

[slim bluff]

python just needs a struct and enum keyword

and remove classes

[arctic yarrow]

Isn't there an enumerate function?

[slim bluff]

that just ties an index to a value when you iterate over something

[arctic yarrow]

Oh ok
