Don't cheap out on a power supply

[quasi blaze]

All right I will check it out

[grave cove]

yeah do not fuck around with psus

just get a good one and it will usually outlast everything else

[graceful basin]

I mean, CPU and RAM are usually immortal

[grave cove]

yeah but i mean it in the sense that you'll end up upgrading those before you upgrade your psu

[graceful basin]

Oh for sure

[quasi blaze]

I would have liked it if they showed the prices for these

[foggy jungle]

40-50% is a little too far above what your intended maximum is as a 'benchmark'. Most power supplies run at peak efficiency somewhere in the ~70-80% usage mark

I do a 25% overhead unless I'm buying underpowered components with the intention of upgrading later.

[foggy jungle]

This isn't true with the last ~two generations of Intel processors.

[graceful basin]

Fair

[foggy jungle]

Not to be pedantic; I harbor no 'favorites' when it comes to components, but prioritizing reliability in one generation has the potential from placing you in a precarious situation before you're willing to upgrade.

[robust zephyr]

There is a microcode patch for that at least, but it's not clear if that merely delays the demise of the processor or what

[quasi blaze]

If a power supply carries more Watts, does that make it a better power supply?

Yeah

Unfortunately I have one of the affected processors and I am hoping it doesn't die any time soon

/account/register/seller

That's like saying a hammer is better than everything

[uneven pine]

I mean... General use? Everything?

There's nothing on Linux nor MacOS that I would consider a better experience than Windows

Except the obvious of developing for crapple products is far nicer on Mac

[timid latch]

Linux has better wm options

[uneven pine]

Okay I'll give you that

[young shoal]

having a compiler just installed is pretty nice on most linux ¯_(ツ)_/¯

installing c++ on windows is very annoying

[uneven pine]

If you care less about your computer actually working and more about feeling technical and smart, Linux has more options for that

Like the wms are one of my main reasons for Linux

Past that, Windows is just better

[young shoal]

[timid latch]

at the end of the day its subjective

like I have my reasons for not liking windows, and to other people those reasons are why they use windows

windows is the same on every system
which is why I use linux, more customizability.
and why others stick to windows, because its stable.

[green pelican]

I personally prefer to own my computer and not be spied on

And fuck Microsoft in general

But I cannot comprehend why arch daily drivers base the entirety of Linux off of that

Arch is ass no wonder you hate linux

[low chasm]

to be fair, as far as development goes, there's always WSL

[young shoal]

WSL is the savior of developing on windows

[green pelican]

The only good windows feature

[uneven pine]

THF moment.

[uneven pine]

I've used Linux daily for over a decade, Debian, Ubuntu, Tumbleweed, Arch is very recent because it's the one OS I got to work well on the bedroom PC and not have massively outdated software. I've had very bad experiences with it in the past (nothing Arch based has survived a single system update previously). This one is, while buggy, surprisingly holding on.

[fringe rain]

idk, if you find windows fine cant you just make a nice lazy desktop on linux and use that

i feel like you're trying to find problems

or your hardware REALLY just doesnt fw linux

[green pelican]

No it's definitely not a myth

Try not updating a windows PC

Then tell me you own your software when it updates without your consent

Or when it automatically uploads your files to one drive

Or in the future when recall spies on you

Remember when the renamed "My PC" to "This PC" 👀

The NSAs exabyte server farm In a Utah desert begs to differ

[robust zephyr]

Dragnet surveillance is quite real

[uneven pine]

But I promise you the user base of people with legitimate, genuine reasons to be using these things are not the majority of the userbase

[green pelican]

It's been proven almost all communication in, from and to the USA is stored

This is not TFH this is publicly accessible information

I can cite sources if you wish

[uneven pine]

Sure and if you actually genuinely cared about that, and genuinely cares AT ALL about your privacy, you wouldn't be using discord.

[green pelican]

I love this argument, I also wouldn't drive a car if I didn't want to die right

I have my boundaries

Anyone who knows anything about privacy will tell you it's not a "on off" switch

Anyone who thinks so has browsed r/privacy for 5 minutes and lost their mind

[signal canopy]

this is a dogshit take

tbh (respectfully?)

[green pelican]

I'll be waiting for a decent argument in support of mass surveillance

[signal canopy]

people who care about privacy have their reasons

[green pelican]

People don't want to put in the effort so they give up

It's unfortunate

[signal canopy]

i, for one, don't want to be linked across multiple accounts so i have an ad profile created for me. it's creepy and intrusive, i don't like it.

so, since that's my threat model, i do things accordingly

you can't just say "x is bad for privacy" and then end it at that

that's my ted talk

[green pelican]

I'll be advocating against the NSA till the day I die

Bullshit arguments and attacks aren't gonna stop me

[signal canopy]

gov gonna do gov things, they gonna oppress and survey

[green pelican]

And convince people it's not a big deal

Guh

[signal canopy]

i just accept it as part of life

[green pelican]

But as long as I have the privilege to not care it's ok right!!?!?!?

I'm not being killed for speaking against my government so it's ok!

Ahh take

[signal canopy]

my take?

[green pelican]

Nah

Average mass surveillance supporter take

Or denier

I'm not sure what the difference would be

[signal canopy]

the goverment has its security reasons tho

sometimes

[green pelican]

The FBI confirmed they have caught 0 terrorists with the help of the Patirot act

[spare oriole]

genuinely cares AT ALL about your privacy, you wouldn't be using discord.
tbf i agree with this
discord collects, and gives up a ton of data

[uneven pine]

Discord actively tracks users, logs, stores, and uses all user activity and data to train AI models (it's right there in the ToS), etc etc

It's hypocritical to argue about privacy and use the platform

[green pelican]

Are you telling me my arbitrary lines are hypocritical lmfao

[timid latch]

Anyone who knows anything about privacy will tell you it's not a "on off" switch

[signal canopy]

if i cared that much about my privacy, i would haul my ass out to Saskatchewan and chop wood and fish for the rest of my life

[green pelican]

I drive a car and don't want to die, I'm such a fucking hypocrite

[timid latch]

"you are fine with your calls being recorded, that means you are fine with me installing a camera in your bedroom right?"

[green pelican]

W

[uneven pine]

Honestly? Yeah. Your arguments specifically have been directly in line with this. With what you've argued you should be directly opposed to using discord.

[signal canopy]

wow, look at that. logic? coherence? how incredible.

[green pelican]

I only share my opinions I can't force anyone to take them seriously

If you think im insane block me and live your life

My internet texts can't hurt you

[spare oriole]

oh lord

[signal canopy]

where tf is this going

[uneven pine]

It's hard to take your opinions seriously when your actions directly oppose what you're saying

[green pelican]

I'm heated

[uneven pine]

And I'm just chilling at work lol

[green pelican]

I draw my own lines of privacy

[spare oriole]

then take a break

[uneven pine]

And they're hypocritical lines

That's all I'm saying

[green pelican]

I'm being a hypocrite for using internet at all

[timid latch]

you can say something is bad, while still using the service simply because there arent good alternatives

[uneven pine]

Sure

And I do that

I hate shitcord, not specifically about privacy though

[spare oriole]

break

[green pelican]

Can I want to live while doing something that is actively dangerous

[spare oriole]

break

[uneven pine]

But I use it because there is no alternative

[green pelican]

Noooo

[spare oriole]

break

[green pelican]

Noooooo

[uneven pine]

But I don't sit here arguing about surveillance and data collection while using it

[signal canopy]

the addiction must persevere.

[spare oriole]

telegram, matrix, IRC, so on

[uneven pine]

Though it would be EXTREMELY easy to just... Not use discord.

[uneven pine]

None of those have remotely the same level of community and integration

That's my point. No real alternative. Discord is what the Internet chose.

[timid latch]

"theres no alternative" and "its easy to not use it" seem like competing ideas

[green pelican]

Awfully hypocritical

[uneven pine]

It's like calling GIMP an alternative to Photoshop, which many, MANY people do

GIMP does not have nearly the same functionality

None of the listed "alternatives" above have remotely the same features as discord,let alone community.

[spare oriole]

but they are alternatives.

they just dont sastify your wants

[green pelican]

But my addiction

[spare oriole]

but they do fill needs

[signal canopy]

but i mean is discord collecting and handling data even comparable to windows, the os, doing it?

[uneven pine]

An alternative sound provide at least most of the same functionality.

[green pelican]

My armcord disables lots of that shit anyways

👀

[hybrid root]

[signal canopy]

yeah armcord is where it's at.

[green pelican]

So real

[green pelican]

You hypocrite

[spare oriole]

i'd argue those are wants.

[signal canopy]

lmao what

[green pelican]

/s

[tropic lichen]

replacing the platform is the easy bit, it would take me no effort to uninstall discord and instead install a matrix client in like <5 minutes
the hard part is also getting everybody you want to talk to make the exact same move

[uneven pine]

So if I gave you two tin cans on a string as an alternative to your computer because it can let you communicate with one other person, which is something you can do on your computer, you'd agree that it is an alternative?

[signal canopy]

well discovery is also a big reason why discord is so popular

[tropic lichen]

see also: why a lot of people who hate twitter continue to use it, despite the alternatives being plentiful

[green pelican]

It's like people are willing to make sacrifices for things they don't inherently support

[signal canopy]

how else would they get their copious amounts of misinformation and propaganda

PC Building is just like deck building in Hearthstone

[glossy niche]

ive heard people say this before but i really gotta say ppl who call PC building "lego for adults" have never touched a lego in their lives

never had a lego where there is only one way to connect it and doing it wrong costs you lots of time and money

[honest star]

I think the point is that you just have a bunch of pieces you kind of snap or connect together. There's no soldering or anything fancy. Just slot in/clip in/screw down in place, connect stuff, and you're usually good.

Especially RAM. You just press it in and the latches do the rest

maybe maybe saying it is like lego mechanically is valid, but equating building PCs as a hobby to legos as a hobby is what my interpretation was

Why is the 3000D cheaper than 5000D?

[grave cove]

i have the next model of this same one, its great

[graceful basin]

the 5000d is bigger

as is the 4000d, they both fit eatx boards

[quasi blaze]

4.7/5 ratings from 18,000+ people on Amazon (which is excellent)

[young shoal]

using ratings again? yikes

[grave cove]

corsair cases are generally just pretty good

[graceful basin]

I mean, corsair made tons of shit cases before the airflow series

which is impressive, because, y'know, it is a case

[quasi blaze]

It is indeed the most popular out of 5000D

It’s more affordable but less volume

Putting popularity aside

[graceful basin]

oh, one thing to check is whether the case fits your cooler of choice (if you're going for stock cooler, the answer is yes) and the GPU

[young shoal]

there's only like 1 inch of clearance between the wall of the case and my cpu cooler

and same with gpu

it heats up a lot lol

[graceful basin]

I have like 2mm

but temps are fine

[young shoal]

is it glass?

[graceful basin]

yea

[young shoal]

yea

[quasi blaze]

Are my components compatible with the Corsair 3000D computer case? https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/xY4NNz

I had to switch cases because Cougar MX410 MESH-G RGB ATX Mid Tower Case is out of stock on Amazon

[graceful basin]

yea, that should be fine

[grave cove]

whats the graphics card? often times its the problem (i.e won't fit in the case)

[quasi blaze]

I don’t have one. I won’t be playing games

Maybe I will in the long future

[grave cove]

you should be fine then

[quasi blaze]

If I do, i will probably get this https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/6jn9TW/xfx-speedster-swft-210-core-radeon-rx-7600-xt-8-gb-video-card-rx-76pswftfy

[quasi blaze]

Will it fit? @grave cove

[spare oriole]

You’ll want at least even a basic GPU

Integrated ones suck IME

[quasi blaze]

For what?

Because I have been getting the opposite advice from what others are telling me

[spare oriole]

some CPUs come with integrated GPUs but they suck

which is probably where their advice come in, all CPUs need a GPU in order to provide a visual experience basically

the difference is whether it's integrated, external, or both

The CPU is a mathematician that sits in the attic working on a new theory.

The GPU is hundreds of thousands of 2nd graders working on 1+1 math all at the same time.

They're both suited for different jobs.

&

Computers don't "need" GPUs.
It's just that if you have the CPU doing all of the processing for images then there is a whole lot less CPU "time" available to do all the general-purpose stuff a computer does and everything would be slower - including the graphics.
GPUs are designed to mathematical processing very quickly and can do graphics processing while the CPU is doing other general-purpose stuff.
There are lots of chips on a motherboard doing special purpose stuff so that the CPU doesn't have to do it (that's why phones now have SoC - they put a bunch of special purpose shit on the same die as the CPU).
two good explanations imo

[weak peak]

Sounds like child labor to me dawg

[spare oriole]

that's where your mind went to? sus

[weak peak]

[low chasm]

do they really? if you're not doing anything that needs a dedicated GPU, you should be fine.

they said they weren't gaming

[spare oriole]

it really depends on the integrated GPU, but there are a lot of out there that are that shitty

[low chasm]

yeah but shitty for what

or rather, what does "shitty" mean?

[acoustic moss]

agreed

if youre not doing anything graphics heavy iGPUs do pretty well these days

[uneven pine]

there are people who paid $200 for this

who must be SEETHING right now

9.5 hours of wiating in a queue today just to login

only to get minecraft sky

the loading screen is also officially the most intensive thing I've ever ran on my PC

I've never seen my GPU over 74c

[weak peak]

bro has disks

[acoustic moss]

@buoyant wolf have 2

[harsh tundra]

You're the one who wrote about hundreds of thousands of 2nd graders 😛

[harsh tundra]

Lol. What's the program?

[harsh tundra]

Btw. Does/can that temp program save the results somewhere? Open hardware monitor is nice but i would prefer to see the readings from before the crash, after I restart. Because gpu crashing obviously doesn't let me see the temps anymore
(gpu overheat causes dwm.exe to crash, causing black screen that needs computer restart, we're trying to pinpoint signs of it, so history of readings would be nice)

[naive igloo]

woah what are those

[quasi blaze]

I will never forget that meeting where my manager told me “I come up with dumb ideas and you implement them. Haha!”

I believe that sentiment to be true for most corporate hierarchies; The higher-ups may not come up with the best ideas but you need to implement them because it’s your job as the specialist

[young shoal]

it's not

[quasi blaze]

if your manager wants you to implement something, you need to do it otherwise it’s considered insubordination

[young shoal]

it depends

weren't you arguing for being assertive?

[quasi blaze]

Lol I knew you were going to use my past arguments against me. Yes I did

Defiance != Assertiveness

[young shoal]

asserting your opinions, if they go against your managers wishes, is defiance

[quasi blaze]

No it’s not?

[young shoal]

yes it is

[quasi blaze]

Can you please explain your reasoning with supporting statements?

[young shoal]

by definition

[quasi blaze]

This is an extremely vague supporting statement

[young shoal]

nah. it tells you exactly what I'm basing the argument on: the definition of defiance

[quasi blaze]

Please tell me what the definition is

[young shoal]

asserting your opinions if they go against your manager's wishes

[quasi blaze]

That’s not what defiance means…

[young shoal]

i defined it thus

[quasi blaze]

What you are doing is changing the original meaning of the word “defiance” to support your argument

[young shoal]

yes. how else would you do it?

[spare oriole]

Not really, sometimes my boss asks me things and I push back because I don’t agree with what he wants, he either listens or doesn’t, if we don’t agree then during our eng meetings I just assign myself different tasks, but I guess that’s not possible for you because you’re the only dev at the company

[young shoal]

huh. if you don't agree, and you just work on different tasks, isn't it still happening?

the point of disagreeing isn't that you have to do it, it's that it's happening

[spare oriole]

I mean yes, but if I’m able to make a good argument as to why it’s not a good idea; and I’m able to provide a better alternative, then it doesn’t happen

What’s Keezy arguing for this time around?

[young shoal]

right, but that's different from just doing a different task

[quasi blaze]

This

#ot1-perplexing-regexing message

[quasi blaze]

By using the true meanings of words to support your argument

[young shoal]

there is no "true meaning"

[quasi blaze]

You’re arguing with semantics now?

[young shoal]

no, semantics is kind of the opposite

[quasi blaze]

You have manipulated the actual meaning of the word defiance to counter argue my argument. It’s possible to vocalize your opinion about why your higher-up’s idea isn’t good and still comply with their instructions in implementing it. That wouldn’t be being defiance because you’re still complying with their instructions.

[young shoal]

i'm pretty sure any reasonable definition of defiance would include that situation

.wa s define defiance

[median dome]

Wolfram Alpha

bold resistance to an opposing force, power or authority, expressed through behavior and attitude

[young shoal]

there you go. vocalizing your opinion is resistance to opposing authority, expressed through behavior

[spare oriole]

[quasi blaze]

That’s not being resistant to anything…You’re just explaining why their idea is not good a one.

[young shoal]

what's the goal of explaining why their idea is not a good one?

[quasi blaze]

You’re a specialist. You have a better understanding of data structures and algorithms than your non-technical manager. You’re like their consultant. You guide them on the path to their requested destination — And their suggested paths are not optimal so you as a specialist can find the optimal path because you have the knowledge and experience to do so

[young shoal]

so, you are suggesting a path that is different from the one that they suggest?

going in a different way rfom what they want?

isn't that resisting?

[quasi blaze]

No? You’re still going to their requested destination…you just found a better route.

[young shoal]

right, you're still not listening to them though

[quasi blaze]

Yes you are because you’re still complying to their instructions. You’re just vocalizing that there’s a better route.

[young shoal]

right, you're resisting the route they chose

[quasi blaze]

We’re going around in circles (no pun intended) I don’t think you’re comprehending me.

You’re still taking Route A (the route they want you to take) to destination X but you’re suggesting Route B because it’s better and why Route A is bad

That’s not defiance

[young shoal]

exactly. so, vocally, you're resisting the route they chose

[quasi blaze]

So suggesting a better option is equivalent to resistance

[young shoal]

idk why you say "equivalent"

it is resistance

[solemn tulip]

it is pushback on their idea

which could reasonably be called resistance

[spare oriole]

^

[quasi blaze]

Okay but is that defiance?

[spare oriole]

yes.

[young shoal]

now that we've established it's resistance, we have this: #ot1-perplexing-regexing message

[spare oriole]

resistance is inherently defiance imo

[solemn tulip]

defiance is strong resistance

you could argue the "strong"

[graceful basin]

at the same time, a higher up getting offended that a specialist they're paying dared disagree with them does not make them look good.

[quasi blaze]

So if I hire a mechanic and I tell them I want conventional motor oil to change my oil and they suggest full synthetic oil but they still add conventional oil. That’s considered defiance?

[solemn tulip]

weak defiance 🙃

[quasi blaze]

…the mechanic is a car specialist. They would know more than the casual customer

They would know more than the average customer on what their car needs and doesn’t need

[solemn tulip]

I don't see how that is an argument for anything?

[young shoal]

yeah that doesn't matter

[quasi blaze]

I was changing the scenario to see how that’s being defiant

[solemn tulip]

it is resistance, defiance is strong resistance

where any particular case falls on the spectrum could be argued over

[young shoal]

the relative skill levels aren't relevant

[quasi blaze]

Okay so you agree with my position

[young shoal]

no, that's not agreement

[solemn tulip]

I haven't taken any position, I have merely nitpicked y'all

passive pedantic phoenix

[quasi blaze]

If you truly believe suggesting better routes to my manager is defiance then why haven’t I been written up for insubordination?

[young shoal]

it is acceptable defiance

[quasi blaze]

If it’s acceptable then why are you arguing against my position?

[solemn tulip]

is anger mild fury or strong irritation?

[young shoal]

because your position isn't whether or not it is acceptable

[honest star]

I feel like mild fury. Strong irritation feels more akin to frustration

[solemn tulip]

I was trying to find a word for "mild anger" but couldn't come up with anything better 😔

[spare oriole]

so you're vexed that you couldn't come up with anything better?

or irritated?

[young shoal]

tilted

[quasi blaze]

This conversation circles back around my first point because if you dare to resist their idea or come up with a better one, it’s considered being defiant

[uneven pine]

Keezyposting hours

[quasi blaze]

Or being resistant for better or for worse

[spare oriole]

it's probably their lunch break

[young shoal]

you said, #ot1-perplexing-regexing message. but we've now established that it actually is

[uneven pine]

Idk, how long does lunch last in the average highschool? From my scrolling they've been here a while

[spare oriole]

on average, about 30 mins i think?

[solemn tulip]

defiance is strong resistance
resistance is weak defiance

as said, you can happily argue where on the spectrum any particular instance is

[quasi blaze]

This sounds like circular logic to me

[solemn tulip]

what logic?

it's word definitions

[quasi blaze]

That whole statement

[solemn tulip]

it's not an argument

it's just stating what the things are

[quasi blaze]

Your definitions are circular is what I am saying

[solemn tulip]

circular is the wrong word

it's not a chain of logic

or well, I'm not trying to prove the first statement

the first statement is literally what the word means

the second is just a consequence

[quasi blaze]

Okay but anyways, should I not provide better solutions to my manager as his specialist then?

[solemn tulip]

did anyone argue that?

[quasi blaze]

I am asking

[green pelican]

Mine gave us 15

Shit was literally prison

[spare oriole]

wtf

[green pelican]

Or 20 ish but that included walking to and from

[spare oriole]

you should suggest and advice them on better alternatives.

[green pelican]

It was fucked I'm glad i cooked before i left

[uneven pine]

Cooked what

[green pelican]

SecURLy

[quasi blaze]

Even though we established that it’s being resistant?

[spare oriole]

yes.

[green pelican]

I made a website with guides on bypassing the filters and unblocked site lists

[spare oriole]

it is acceptable defiance
like PSVM said

[green pelican]

They almost got me but I'm a crazy hacker so

[spare oriole]

cringe

[green pelican]

You're on my list you'll see one day

👿

Me

[spare oriole]

that weak list you're always on about?

[green pelican]

Weak vruh

I will destroy you krrt

[quasi blaze]

Okay. We do agree that not complying with your manger’s instructions is insubordination. Right?
