knotty elm
#

Any good steering wheels under $100?

spiral yew
#

knotty elm
#

Ah that sucks, not spending an arm and a leg for a wheel when I can just get a set of keys and go in my garage lol

plucky whale
#

that PC makes me jelly

knotty elm
#

lol

#

Funny thing is that the cooler is stock and I never get above 60C... ever

spiral yew
#

the cheapest wheel i'd recommend is the G29 since the G27 is almost impossible to find new or one of the thrustmaster wheels

#

a 150 USD?

hexed aurora
#

@knotty elm Wraith cooler or which is it that they bundle with the 1600?

spiral yew
#

GPU-Z reads my memory size at 8192 MB

@hexed aurora Yeah the Wraith Cooler

knotty elm
#

I'm wondering if I should sell my 1440p monitor and downgrade back to a 1080p monitor

#

Yeah thats what makes me want to downgrade

#

1440p can't downscale

#

xD

#

That looks like 98

#

Aww man... I though my pc was 64 bit

#

lol

#

Make sure you install Bonzi Buddy, better than google

#

Is your dialup working? Maybe somebody is using the landline

#

Ah, maybe the wheel needs some WD-40

#

My telegraph doesn't work anymore. It keeps making clicking noises

marble forge
#

grizzled crow

frozen meadow

#

Jesus

#

My CPU idles at 40C with stock cooler

#

Ah. Im going to try overclocking and check temps again

#

Where is that lol

#

Ryzen 1600

#

#

#

I just got a 140GB ssd in the mail from amazon too, going to fix an iMac I got from a friend for $85

#

lmao

#

Nothing, everything I have is either on steam, a cloud, or my server

#

Meh, just re install. You don't know what you need till its gone xD

#

Ah

#

Did you make sure it was 64 bit Windows?

#

Good xD

#

Then you should be fine

#

who needs that

#

windows defender aint important, windows says so

serene jewel
#

windows defender does nothing

#

it only stops the most obvious malware

cinder nexus
#

install something else to protect your pc

serene jewel
#

^

#

my opinion is, if your smart enough to get a better av, your smart enough not to download malware

#

Yeah

#

windows 10 you can just walk into system files and edit them

knotty elm
#

I use windows defender, does me just fine

serene jewel
#

Macs you cant

#

Windows Defender is okay for casual use

#

but if your a person cracking stuff then you need a good antivirus

#

^

knotty elm
#

Oh I do lots of that ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

I don't do stupid stuff

#

Virustotal is my friend

serene jewel
#

nah guys let's head on off to softonic and download some free games

#

Now i've built my much better pc (compared to what i had) im being so careful not to clutter it up

#

I download larger games and files at night while im sleeping

#

I've only got 1TB

#

ye

#

nocturne bay

serene jewel

#

Geforce Experience (at least for nvidia cards)

prime merlin
#

geforce experience is better but if you want a platform to upload then plays.tv is better

manic depot
#

@prime merlin You can cut and upload videos to platforms like youtube too with geforce experience

grizzled crow
#

Even my old Netbook from 2009 is doing better than my PC

#

And my Netbook is a packard bell!

rose lion
#

my previous pre built the only thing wrong is that the case is bent

frozen meadow
#

This was my pc just after i got it but i had to take side panel off as it over heated all the time, even with side panel off it over heated :/

rose lion
#

i had to replace the psu cause the one the person before me who owned it put in died because they never cleaned it and smoked around the pc and i had to redo the thermal paste

frozen meadow
#

Btw this image is from 2016 31st Jan

#

#

1.2MP ftw

#

But ye

#

i lost almost 2TB of stuff due to Hard Drive Failure

#

fking toshiba drives

#

i'm now stuck with a slow 1TB hard drive

rose lion
#

clear crane
#

i wasnt alive back then

rose lion
#

it opens on the right instead of the left

frozen meadow
#

I need to clean my pc out from dust and stuff

#

And i need to get rid of useless s**t in my pc too

rose lion
#

but i put the psu in that picute in it

frozen meadow
#

One HDD to the other

clear crane
#

'share' files are just massive

frozen meadow
#

ikr

#

like 1 vid is 1gb lool

#

or should i say "clip"

#

Wow my HDD is slow

#

I set mine to 2 mins

clear crane
#

30 seconds

frozen meadow
#

500mb each unless for some reason it makes it bigger a lot

clear crane
#

and then sometimes i record the whole session

frozen meadow
#

me be like

clear crane
#

thats me with my phone trying to load a photo into full quality

#

i hate icloud

frozen meadow
#

LOL

clear crane
#

clear crane
#

I knew you were going to say that

frozen meadow
#

lol

rose lion
#

most my videos are in the 2-3gb range

clear crane
#

I am changing to android on the next upgrade

frozen meadow
#

noice ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

Get a Samsung boi

#

๐Ÿ˜›

rose lion
#

i have to take my phone in and get it checked out

clear crane
#

this is an 11 minute video

frozen meadow
#

I would get a Samsung but i rather have a properly working PC that isn't slow

#

and that doesn't have a hard drive that looks like it might fail :/

rose lion
#

as yesterday android popped up and said your phone is corrupt and cannont be trusted it will not reboot then proceeded to reboot

frozen meadow
#

Rather not go through all the s**t i did in september again

#

hard drive failure rly sucks

#

I rly need to move a lot of stuff onto another HDD

#

see if my C drive goes faster again

#

Cos it used to boot up in just less than a min

#

now takes 5-7 mins to boot up

rose lion
#

@clear crane most my videos are 1-3 hours long

clear crane
#

ok

rose lion
#

as they usually are my entire play session

frozen meadow
clear crane
#

the computers at school have a 0 second time

frozen meadow
#

i'm moving probably 200GB of stuff rn

#

my other hard drive is gonna complain soon about low storage

plucky whale
#

considering how bad my computer is this really makes me think

#

8 GB of some 1600mhz ram

#

and an SSD

#

it's 1.5 amd ghz

#

with worse ipc than a first gen atom

#

jk

#

steam

#

that's about it

#

also pretty sure it doesn't include starting windows

#

because it definately took more than 2 seconds to load windows

#

๐Ÿค”

marble forge
#

what xD

#

lool

#

it's more like Se-kun-den though and the stress is on kun, and the den at the end is rather short xD

#

I can totally see your point though lol

#

#

๐Ÿค”

#

I've had that before

lol

pine hill
#

I just realised the Pixel 2 XL comes with an OTG adapter. That's amazing

clear crane
#

mhm

#

the pixel 2 is amazing

pine hill
#

Transferred all my old photos and videos in a few minutes without having to get my PC involved

#

There was no cable or adapter included to connect to a computer that lacks Type-C, so shrug.

clear crane
#

i think there is a cable for pixel 2 that is type c to lightning lead

#

to transfer an iphone data onto it

pine hill
#

They give you an OTG adapter that takes male Type-C to Female Type-A

nocturne bay
#

Honestly, I don't like how it looks. The rest of it's not bad though

pine hill
#

I liked it enough to put it in a mostly clear case

nocturne bay
#

Fair enough

40% fragmented hdd, rip

so ye, spent all night doing my pc up and now it's doing epicly good

nocturne bay

XD wow

dusty timber

nocturne bay
#

Ouchhh

#

Glad I'm an AMD guy ;)

hexed aurora
#

it could've just as easily been AMD though, AMD has more bug workarounds in the linux kernel than Intel, so both sides are kinda screwed in the long run

nocturne bay
#

Yeah

#

It is kinda tricky to stop everything years in advance though

hexed aurora
#

well, so far Intel has more critical security voulns, thanks to IME, so that's nice I guess blobcat

sand valley
#

#

More technical information is available now on the CPU vouln.

#

Meltdown has only (so far) been verified on Intel, this is out-of-order execution voulnerability

#

Spectre is verified on AMD, Intel and ARM and attacks branch prediction and speculative execution

#

the short version is; we're all hosed, Spectre can be partially mitigated with software, while Meltdown can be fully mitigated with software

nocturne bay
#

;-;

hexed aurora
#

it's a whole load of suck, for everyone

nocturne bay
#

Aye xD

plucky whale
#

Goddammit you lazy companies

#

This is hilarious

hexed aurora
#

It's not really a lazy thing (except lazy in looking into potential impact of out-of-order execution), bot are side channel attacks, and they are notoriously difficult to spot

plucky whale
#

They've been around since the second gen Pentium iirc

hexed aurora
#

Intel CPUs post 94, exxcept Itanium and Atom before 2013 are impacted of Meltdown, but that's the least of your worries, Spectre is arguably worse, since it's significantly harder to mitigate outside of straight up replacing your hardware

#

that said, good luck finding hardware that isn't voulnerable

nocturne bay
#

;-;

#

I think my laptop is a Pentium..

hexed aurora
#

Modern pentium isn't the same as old pentium

#

All modern CPUs are affected

nocturne bay
#

Not that modern

hexed aurora
#

it's probably post the '90s

plucky whale
#

Even my phone is affected

nocturne bay
#

Nooo

plucky whale
#

?

nocturne bay
#

Xd

hexed aurora
#

heck, it's likely a Core derived pentium

#

Last non Core derived pentium was Pentium 4, over 10 years ago

#

since then, pentium is a lower tier bin of core products

#

ARM, AMD and Intel are confirmed voulnerable to Spectre

#

Kinda surprised not to see IBM Power on that list

#

RedHat claims POWER is impacted as well infactโ€ฆ

#

System z as well

plucky whale
#

Actually according to arm the cores in my soc aren't affected

#

Goddammit autocorrect

#

Now my craptop on the other hand

hexed aurora
#

Your ARM chip is affected by Spectre, but only A-73 cores are affected by Meltdown

plucky whale
#

Apparently they're all A53 cores

#

Okay that's a bit wierd

#

It should say that it's a snapdragon 625

hexed aurora
#

Snapdragon 625 is using Cortex A53, so that's kinda expected

Hi

#

I've got an Alcatel POP4, and I got a new SD card for it. I set it up as internal storage, and migrated some data, but now it won't install apps to the card, or move current apps over..

#

It's a U3 SD card apparently, but it doesn't want to install apps there by default and it doesn't have a "move to SD" option

dusty timber
#

What OS vesrion did you have on the phone?

#

Anyway, OS on this phone doesn't allow you to move apps to SD (lame developer desicion at Alcatel HQ)

#

You should use App2SD hacks

#

But your mileage may vary

nocturne bay
#

OK? Its Android 6.0.1

dusty timber
#

So, App2SD

#

Check out XDA if they are have a solution

nocturne bay
#

XDA?

nocturne bay
#

Ooh

#

I'll be back

nocturne bay
#

Apparently rooting is a thing?

hexed aurora
#

it's a thing, but be careful, 1. you'll basicly reflash your phone in most cases and 2. you are exposing your phone to greater risks

nocturne bay
#

I just need it to last the year, and I need to be able to install apps. Apart from that, I'm not that bothered what I do with it, there's barely anything on it anyway

dusty timber
#

Root is not always bad (if you know what exactly are you doing)

#

Also, App2SD needs root iirc

plucky whale
#

I got a redmi note 4x I want to root

#

I just need permission from the company to unlock the bootloader

nocturne bay
#

I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing tbh ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ gonna try OneClickRoot

#

Andask a friemd

hexed aurora
#

there's been a couple of 0days that directly attacked rooted phones @dusty timber

plucky whale
#

that is true

hexed aurora
#

so even if you knew what you where doing, you could be attacked

dusty timber
#

I know that pretty well

#

And, since my first Android phone (Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S), nobody attacks me

#

So, use your phone right and be thoughtful in general

#

Just saying

plucky whale
#

I had my last phone flashed with cyanogenmod

#

back when they still existed

#

Then moved to lineageOS

#

used the nougat version for a while

#

then that phone died

dusty timber
#

My old Nexus 5 on the shell is the one with Android Oreo (man, I love the community)

plucky whale
#

I have someone's bricked s4 lying around

#

they didn't want it back

nocturne bay
#

Apparently can't root my phone xD

plucky whale
#

F

#

I can I just need an unlocked bootloader

nocturne bay
#

;-;

#

So my phone is useless

plucky whale
#

๐Ÿค”

#

how is it useless

#

mine's not rooted and it's still fine

nocturne bay
#

Can't download any apps

plucky whale
#

srsly

nocturne bay
#

Yep

plucky whale
#

I have no words for that

nocturne bay
#

Mhm

#

I kinda need apps to travel soo

plucky whale
nocturne bay

K

plucky whale
#

also comes in a 64GB version with a helio x20 instead of the snapdragon

nocturne bay
#

Seriously though, why have a smartphone where you can have ONE app??

#

Alcatel are about to get a beating

hexed aurora
#

I'd avoide Xiaomi considering that they have leaked stuff to a server in the PRC, which means the government in PRC has access to that data

plucky whale
#

I can only find articles from 2014

#

do you have anything more recent?

#

also it's not like america's government is much better

#

and if you look at google's apps most of them have opt-outs/opt-ins to send data to google

going back to meltdown/spectre

#

my phone's SOC doesn't do out-of-order execution

#

so it can't be affected by this

quick ravine
#

Wasn't it speculative branch prediction

hexed aurora
#

Out of order execution is Meltdown, speculative branch prediction is spectre

#

only some ARM chips are voulnerable to Meltdown, but all modern cpus are suceptible to Spectre

Is this enough for streaming ?

depends

but generally, yes, definitely

plucky whale

I think you'd want higher upload

dusty timber

At least symmetrical

deep oriole

well thers only one way to find out. Give it a good test

hexed aurora

Symmetrical isn't necessary, but 10mbps is cutting it close

dusty timber

I have one

100/100

#

Well, almost 100

#

I'm on vacation in my main house now, so there is a 50/50 down there

This is my main house (for now)

#

Yes, this is Russia

#

Now you've seen a symmetrical internet connection troll

#

Nope troll

dusty timber
#

Hey

#

Stop tagging me dude...

#

I said you earlier about that omg xD

#

Well, your internet connection is lightning fast troll

#

Indeed

#

The Internet connection uses the Ku-band, which delivers throughput around 10Mbit/sec down and 3Mbit/sec up from the station--roughly equivalent to a home Internet connection.

#

So, definitely spacey troll

plucky whale

#

If I can stream 720p with 110 kbit/s upload I'm sure 8mbps or so is enough lol

#

@plucky whale what kind of school are you attending that has fast internet AND EVEN WIFI

plucky whale
#

a good one?

#

now if they didn't block discord

marble forge
#

our school shares what I believe is a 16mbit/s connection between up to ~150 PCs

#

no wait that would be relatively fast

#

I get around 0,01mbit/s when 20 other people are using their PCs

@sand valley
Don't think the case has a great airflow system. Do you get 2 fans delivered when purchasing the case?
Also, are you gonna purchase 2x4gb RAM or 1x8gb? Are you planning on upgrading to 16gb in the future?
Anyway, it's ok. I would actually go for a 1060 instead of 1070 and spend the extra money on a Intel 8th gen processor.

sand valley
#

Im gettin 2fans

glad parrot
#

I don't know, Ryzen is great but the performance per core is slow and seeing the 8th cpu, Intel is definitely better and upgrading a CPU is something you won't do for a while

#

However, upgrading a graphics card is something you'll do regularly, if you obviously have the budget

#

Anyway, what about RAM? 2x4gb or 1x8gb?

odd crest
#

Yes, the Ryzen processor is already dominated by Intel processors

sand valley
#

1x8 i think

glad parrot
#

Good, you can then also purchase another 1x8gb in the future and get that dual channel performance

sand valley
#

Already have one 1x8

#

In my current px

#

#

Yes it is true

grizzled crow

#

I assume he means, "and my 1tb HDD"

odd crest
#

sand valley
#

#

Yes

odd crest
#

Okay i Have 2tb hdd And 500gb SSD

sand valley
#

I have 244gb ssd

glad parrot
#

So everything looks ok, it's just the case and your ram speed might also be a thing. A couple of months ago, people advised 3000mhz for a Ryzen CPU, I don't know if AMD fixed the issue with below 3000mhz RAM, so that's a thing to know and maybe you should look it up.

#

Other than that, I suggest you to really think about how you want your CPU to performance and then choose whether you want to go with an 8th gen Intel or just want to stick with Ryzen

#

Intel 8th CPU is more future-proof compared to Ryzen

#

But it obviously costs more ๐Ÿ’ธ

sand valley
#

My uncle works in a pc shop

And

He said he will give me a i7

@glad parrot

Wait, the 3 parts for 800 or the 3 parts and the setup you shared which then costs in total 800?

In total

Hmm, well then that's a good deal

I wish I had an uncle who can sell me parts for a lower price than normal

Hmm, I'm always afraid of the cooling system of small cases, I'm not really a fan of them troll
But on a serious note, I would go for the Fractal Design Meshify C. Great case, great company and ATX motherboards can also be placed in this case.
