it has mucho RGB

[hasty nova]

Water cooled 🤔

[errant raptor]

ye

240mm AIO

[hasty nova]

Not a fan of that no pun intended

[errant raptor]

watfuk

[cunning geyser]

lol

in that one you get a nice cpu

for future is more than enough

so if you want too then in future if you need just buy a 1060-70 so u'll get a nice decent gaming pc

[hasty nova]

Do you know of any other websites ?

[errant raptor]

LDLC

but it's a french website tho

[hasty nova]

In the UK

[errant raptor]

you can buy internationally

(i think)

[hasty nova]

I really would like to make my own

Hmmm

[errant raptor]

then buy a 1060

xd

[cunning geyser]

then I'd suggest you wait till you convince your parents

[errant raptor]

yeah

or wait for the 1000€ price bar

[cunning geyser]

better to wait and get something good rather than get something which isn't what you thought it should be

[hasty nova]

She said to me she'll give me 650 pounds and let me do what I want with it

But that's not eno8gh for custom build is it?

[errant raptor]

it is

clearly fucking enough

you can crack win10 anyways

[hasty nova]

Not veri good though 😟

[errant raptor]

but

trust me

[cunning geyser]

That isssss enough

[hasty nova]

Are you sure?

[errant raptor]

i had a jank ass pc based on an i3 530 and my brother's GTX 745 2gD5

was like the best i ever made in this time

it was my first own built pc

it had some issues but still worked very nicely

and to convince your parent, tell them it's lego.

lol

That you can't "fail" the assembly cuz of the way it's made

[hasty nova]

Do you guys know any websites were you can build your own PC and have them build it for you

[wide temple]

pcspecialist

cclonline

overclockers

[errant raptor]

I only know french websites badly

[cunning geyser]

visit local shops

[errant raptor]

yeah

[wide temple]

scan.co.uk

[errant raptor]

sometimes you can get nice deals on parts

[hasty nova]

This will be my first time getting a serious gaming pc

[wide temple]

all the ones I listed are UK firms

[errant raptor]

lol what u had before

and right now

[cunning geyser]

in terms of trust, local shops will serve you better than a "website"

[hasty nova]

I had a lenovo G70 laptop

[errant raptor]

rip

[hasty nova]

THE HDD died

[errant raptor]

before building my pc i had a core 2 duo based machine that i modified to install a gtx 460

yes

[wide temple]

all the websites are listed are major UK retailers

[errant raptor]

it was these times

[hasty nova]

Funny thing is I knew she was dying but I just kept pushing on until she finally kaput

[errant raptor]

i have an old HDD from 2008

[wide temple]

better than a "local" shop which most likely has zero idea what they're doing

[errant raptor]

it's still in my pc

[hasty nova]

Thanks moh

[errant raptor]

xd

i mean

just build it yourself and or do like me

[cunning geyser]

0 idea and they are still running a business? lol

[errant raptor]

i waited to my parent go away from home 😉

(i was 11 pls don't judge)

[wide temple]

that's not the point, a major retailer will have better credibility than any local shop, period

[hasty nova]

Can you guys help me on building my own PC because every time I try to build my own always seem to go wildly over budget

[wide temple]

a local shop serves the local community, websites serves globally

[cunning geyser]

you cant really measure the credibility of a company by it's website or its reach, global players also fcuk up sometimes

[errant raptor]

well i can try to find you some good parts for a "beginner" gaming pc

[hasty nova]

Ok AMD or intel

[cunning geyser]

either

[wide temple]

and so can a local shop, but a major retailer is likely to solve your problem better than any local shop

[errant raptor]

AMD

[wide temple]

especially with the advent of social media if things go completely wrong

[errant raptor]

cuz i have one and it works better than i excepted

[wide temple]

you also have the advantage of having buyer protections if you buy online using a credit card for example

you wouldn't get that if you bought locally from a shop with cash or debit

[hasty nova]

What is AMD hyperthread

[wide temple]

https://www.cclonline.com/pc/custom-pcs/

I can vouch for CCL, I've been to their showroom irl and they're excellent

also dealt with them online, service is 10/10

[cunning geyser]

global players won't really bother about the reviews of "one" customer, so many times apple has also fcuked up, but they still sell

[wide temple]

nothing to do with reviews though

you simply get better protection from major global e-tailers than some local shop which is family owned

[cunning geyser]

it's all about running your business, if they are a local shop doesnt mean they are all crooks lol

[wide temple]

I never said they were all crooks though

[cunning geyser]

you can get better deals with local shops sometimes, like I did, and I am pretty happy with it

[wide temple]

sometimes yeah

same can be said for online tho

[cunning geyser]

yeah true but that doesn't measure the "credibility", no local shop will give you shitty stuff just to screw themselves

[wide temple]

but you're more likely to get screwed over by a local shop than an e-tailer

[cunning geyser]

well lol now that depends on your luck

[hasty nova]

If you get screwed by a website, can you get your money back

[cunning geyser]

if you buy from credit card

@errant raptor lmao

[errant raptor]

wat ?

[cunning geyser]

I saw bot..commands..lol

[errant raptor]

xD

i don't really like turkey for some reasons

BECAUSE they are driving like... ye

And mic spamming

[cunning geyser]

ik, driving is still "tolerable" but the mic spam.. is...

[errant raptor]

and just

they are not driving terribly

but the turkish way

[cunning geyser]

😂

[hasty nova]

Is this any good

[kind dock]

Not really

Have you considered going custom?

[spiral yew]

@hasty nova if you want something somewhat future proof you'll need to spend about another 300£

[hasty nova]

This is going to be my first gaming pc

I have a tight budget, and I'm planning on adding to it in the future

[spiral yew]

What games do you want to be able to play?

[hasty nova]

Ets2, war thunder and world of tanks

[spiral yew]

What I would do is take the game with the most demanding recommended specs and go from there

[hasty nova]

Well that pc will be able to play ets2 on max right ?

[spiral yew]

Depends on what you mean by max

[hasty nova]

High settings at 60fps

Well ??

Wait

Hang on

[spiral yew]

I wouldn't go with a pentium processor

[hasty nova]

Yes I know but it's a prebult

I'll buy a high end i3 in the future

[spiral yew]

I would choose either a good i5 or i7 processor

[hasty nova]

For now I think it's good enough

[spiral yew]

I don't think that Pentium processor is a quad core it's most likely a dual core

[hasty nova]

Lemme look

Ahhh

It's a dual

DOH

Shouldn't hurt it to much should it ?

[spiral yew]

And 8GB Ram is starting to become not enough ram

Hang on

[hasty nova]

If it's good enough for ets2 it's good enough for me

[spiral yew]

Look at the difference between these 2 cpu's http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-G4560-vs-Intel-Core-i5-6500/3892vs3513

[hasty nova]

Look at that price

[spiral yew]

Yes I know it's a little pricey but the i5 is a quad core and the Pentium is a dual core so the dual core has less processing power

[hasty nova]

What will be the side effects in ETS

[spiral yew]

http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-G4560-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4590/3892vs2604

A 4 year old CPU does better than the Pentium CPU

[hasty nova]

You've made that very clear already that a pentenuim is not very good, i have already stated that i will be getting a better cpu in the future

I want to know what side effects it will have on ets

[spiral yew]

Less processing power and the possibility of bottle necking your gpu due to the processor having less power

You'll most likely lag more with the dual core than you would with a quad core

And since we don't know the specs of the motherboard you might have to replace that along with the CPU

[hasty nova]

How would I find out the specs of the motherboard when the pc arrives ?

[spiral yew]

Look inside the case to see what the brand and model of it is

[hasty nova]

Then I assume I google the model and see if it is compatible with a new model processor

[spiral yew]

Yea

And if not then you'll have to buy a new motherboard and CPU and you would also have to make sure the ram is compatible with the new motherboard

[hasty nova]

And if doesn't support it, I'm gonna end up doing what I didn't want to do in the fist place, which is build a pc

[spiral yew]

Yep

[hasty nova]

It's minor to be honest

[spiral yew]

When I got my first gaming PC it cost me $1200 USD or £925.85

Lol your comparing a 4 year old quad core with a newer one so of course the newer one is gonna better

[hasty nova]

Boi

I am so saving up for that

[spiral yew]

Ahh that's so lame discord didn't post my message

[noble ferry]

Intel haha xd

[grand dragon]

Broski why are you still saving up for Intel

Whatever, go for it

[errant raptor]

lol go amd

[hasty nova]

Will an AMD chip fit on the motherboard ?

[upper dove]

AMD and Intel have different sockets (And each CPU has a socket number so only specific CPUs with the same socket number as the motherboard can go into that socket and work correctly)

[hasty nova]

But the pc I chose will play ets2 right ?

💡

I have an i5 laptop can I take that apart and use that i5 chip on this pc

[errant raptor]

NO

lol

laptop cpus :

• sucks
• are soldered

[hasty nova]

DOB

DOH

Is there anything I should know when getting a pre built gaming computer do I have to install or download anything of the bat

[upper dove]

Windows updates

[hasty nova]

Anything else ?

[upper dove]

I can’t really remember last time I got a new windows computer so someone else can say

[hasty nova]

What about bios ??

[dire gull]

Bios is most time the newest version if you buy a new system

About bios spoken, must still update mine, have a version from half 2016 and most recent is in early August 2018 😮

[errant raptor]

gj

i have the F22 bios

[hasty nova]

Damn it, I've just looked at 2 core and 4 core gameplay side my side

[grizzled crow]

I'm so pro

[thin ivy]

Wat dat

[grizzled crow]

LED

Someone did this to the old one

Like the triangle bit with the LED circuit is friction mounted

[hasty nova]

Let me guess is this at your church

[grizzled crow]

Ye

[upper dove]

✝

[night summit]

lol

[grizzled crow]

It never gets turned off that loop

Unless I'm replacing something

[night summit]

O.O

[grizzled crow]

Its in like the kitchen/hall area

So its separate to the church one

[night summit]

Fair enough. Never knew you worked in a church tbf Krav

[grizzled crow]

Its not a job smh

But tbh the hall loop is better cos I installed all the cable under the floor

[night summit]

Gg

[grizzled crow]

Like a million meters of loop cable and a staple gun

[night summit]

Ouch

[grizzled crow]

What

[night summit]

That’s quite a bit of work then?...

[grizzled crow]

And naaa

There's the little thing

That's nothing

The main body of the church needs redoing and extending

[night summit]

Mhm. Doesn’t sound surprising tbf

[grizzled crow]

Which is massive

Iike 10x the size of the hall

[night summit]

Ooooh

[grizzled crow]

That's the start

[night summit]

O.O

[frozen meadow]

That wiring is still better than my cable management...

[night summit]

Ahaha. And mine

[grizzled crow]

That was done like 20 years ago

[frozen meadow]

I have no wireless anything on my pc

nothing is wireless 😂

[grizzled crow]

Not been touched until i move it

[frozen meadow]

oof

[night summit]

I only have a wireless mouse. That’s bc I don’t like my trackpad

[frozen meadow]

if it works dont fix it

lol

i have wired mouse, wired keyboard, wired headphones (usb), wired condensor microphone (usb), wired everything tbh

But worth part is, the giant cables (HDMI 2.1) connecting to my monitors

they're as thick as krav hahaha

[grizzled crow]

But actual box that powers it needs moving

[night summit]

Mhm

[grizzled crow]

Its like the other side of church far away from the desk

[frozen meadow]

oof

[night summit]

Oh

[frozen meadow]

good luck with that

[grizzled crow]

And not in the cabinet

And why

All I do is link them 2 grey cables up and then cut the nearest cable to the hole for the mixing desk then link it up

Obvs not gonna use electric tape

[frozen meadow]

Console wars

i have a crap camera yes

Playstation 1 Playstation 2 Original Xbox Xbox 360 Pro (Jasper) Playstation 3 Slim PSP (off camera) PS Vita (off camera) Xbox 360 E Xbox One (off camera) Playstation 4 (off camera) Playstation 4 Slim (off camera) Xbox One S (off camera)

list of my consoles

tho i have more

[night summit]

Get a camera then xD

[dire gull]

XD

i have a pc and tv 😮

no consoles

[frozen meadow]

I was a console boy before pc

Xbox 360 was great

[night summit]

I’ve got a Xbox one S downstairs but never use it since I’m upstairs on my laptop always working

[frozen meadow]

Only reason i still use my Xbox 360 E is for playing DVDs or i just randomly wanna play on 360

[dire gull]

if i wan play a dvd i play it on my PC streaming to my tv

[frozen meadow]

oof

my pc dvd player is loud

like

xbox 360 pro fans

yano the noisy things that sounded like a messed up jet engine

literally louder than that

[dire gull]

mine make not that much sound

[somber dawn]

Same

Idk why

Like a jet engine, exactly

[hasty nova]

Guys will a 2 core processor still run ets2 on Max graphics at 60fps

[frozen meadow]

if mine managed to do it and is half dead then pretty sure a dual core could

plus its not about the cores

it's about the processing power and clock speed

and ets2 is a single core game (optimised for just 1 core)

[grand dragon]

^

Fuck single core games though

I'm glad the newer games start to go towards multicore

[frozen meadow]

cant wait for ets2 to go to DirectX 11 or 12 and add multicore support

cos that would just be perfect

[grand dragon]

Vulkan more preferably

That thing atleast works

And for linux support vulkan would be ❤

[hasty nova]

Would there be any visual difference to the game if the game went into multi-core support

[somber dawn]

Will they change the directx version?

I thought it'll stay on DX9

[wide temple]

No short term plans for moving off DX9, however, they are working on long term plans to move off of DX9

DX9 only has support for single core, which is a huge factor in the abysmal performance that you sometimes get with ETS2

[somber dawn]

Wow that's why my performance is shiiii

Ahem

Bad

Specially that it's an old i5 so it needs all the power it has

[frozen meadow]

Ahh my cpu is giving in and i need to do a mobo swap cos different cpu

Time to uninstall all my drivers and kill my machine hahaha

[hasty nova]

What's a mobo ?

[spiral yew]

Mobo is short for motherboard

[frozen meadow]

oof

gone from 2 core to six core

and 16GB of ram to 24GB

im happy

and it actually went successful and i have never seen my pc so fast and so, responsive in years

it booted up faster (and installed drivers) than my old mobo booting up normally (with fastboot)

like oof

All i had to do was uninstall every single driver i could (including uninstalling cpu in windows) and it worked

then gotta re-activate windows 😉

[spiral yew]

Of course going from 2 cores to 6 cores is gonna be a big improvement

[grand dragon]

Yeah duh

[frozen meadow]

Still works better than i thought xd

[somber dawn]

Is the 6300 good?

[wide temple]

Not in 2018 it isn’t

Very dated processor

[grand dragon]

Yah its the more cores less power amd old logic

[frozen meadow]

Yep

Still better than an A10

[somber dawn]

Better than my i5 750 for sure xD

[wide temple]

nah

[somber dawn]

I know it's similar, I looked up comparisons a few months ago

[wide temple]

that's a surprise

I looked it up and indeed you are right

[thin ivy]

Ahhh

6300

I had that cpu with the 1050ti too

Now i have an r5 1600

[frozen meadow]

PlayStation 2 has only just reached end of life stage

Whaaaaat

[somber dawn]

RIP PS2

[errant raptor]

lol amd announced 7nm gpus in 20185

2018

[warm sigil]

20185 would be a bit toooo long until they get released... xD

[grizzled crow]

[hasty nova]

Guys I just got my gaming pc

[warm sigil]

nice

[warm sigil]

self-built or pre-built? (I hope self-built ;D)

okay looks pre-built to me

[hasty nova]

It had to be pre built unfortunately

But don't worry I plan to add parts to it in the future

[sinful monolith]

nothing wrong with prebuilt

[warm sigil]

Well, pre-built is normally okay-ish, but self-built has huge advantages

Thing like the PSU and Coolers are often not that good in pre-builts

[hasty nova]

Why doesn't keys for my keyboard work ?

Wierd?

[warm sigil]

What do you mean?

[hasty nova]

Some if the keys aren't working?

Some do and some don't?

[warm sigil]

What keys aren't working? Normal letters or some functions keys?

[hasty nova]

Normal letters

[warm sigil]

hmm weird

Try another USB-port

[hasty nova]

Ok

Nope didn't work

[warm sigil]

hmm... is your keyboard connected to the front or the back USB-slots?

[hasty nova]

Broken keyboard I suspect

Back

[warm sigil]

Do you have another keyboard to try out?

[hasty nova]

Yea

[warm sigil]

Then try it

If it's not working either, then you may have broken USB ports

[hasty nova]

The other one is working

I think the keyboard I bought is dodgy

[warm sigil]

Yeah, that's probably the case

Did the broken keyboard came with your PC?

[hasty nova]

No

Separate

I'm going to send it back

[warm sigil]

Yeah, probably the best solution

[hasty nova]

In the meantime I'm going to buy another one as I'm using the downstairs computers keyboard

[warm sigil]

Did you already have a mechanical keyboard?

[hasty nova]

No

I mean yea

Also what should I do upon opening up the desktop on the pc

[frozen meadow]

i dont even have my prebuilt anymore

i basically have a full custom built pc now

just transferred hard drive over without making new windows install

and it went perfectly and feels like a new windows install, just i dont have to reinstall everything

[upper dove]

🍏 🖥

😉

[warm sigil]

@hasty nova if you mean, what you should do after opening your Desktop, then go to ninite.com and download a lot program in just one installer, I only can recommend it

[dire gull]

Good for mobile or Ipad but not as PC Heyhococo

[warm sigil]

My thoughts @dire gull

More like for iPad, I still prefer Android for Phones

[dire gull]

for me never android

[marble forge]

https://youtu.be/M7HwZrQxh08

[hasty nova]

Thank you

[frozen meadow]

Android ❤

Android 9 i am waiting for my phone

[somber dawn]

Android is love, Android is life

I got 8.0 on my s7

[hasty nova]

Nice, got everything setup, ets2 is installing, can't wait

[wide temple]

don't double up extension sockets like you have done

somewhat dangerous

[dire gull]

that is not the best idea. For a elektricien like me is it too bad to see

[grizzled crow]

im sure that'll set on fire

and kill you

[dire gull]

Not everyone is smart

[frozen meadow]

Do what my mate did and have literally 12 extensions plugged in each other

boy did he love changing many fuses

[dire gull]

Charge fuses?

Have you that old main breakers

[hasty nova]

I've done this for so many years, nothing bad has ever happend

[dire gull]

Here something like this are also a good one for fire

officially you are advised not to branch out more than one extension socket from your fixed wall socket because most time the wire size is smaller

[hidden shell]

Looks like the back of my system

[frozen meadow]

WHAT?!

[dire gull]

No way

[hidden shell]

Yes way

[dire gull]

Hoe can you live with that mess of cables

[hidden shell]

Meh ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It used to be all neat but I keep changing stuff, so I have to cut tie wraps all the time 😃

[dire gull]

Use reuseble zip ties

[hidden shell]

Sitting in front of it I don't see them !

[dire gull]

Hehe i cant live with that

Is a time ago But only thing that is added is my g29

And look still the Same

[hidden shell]

Nice, looks clean. Mine used to look like that.

[night night]

mate

[hasty nova]

Mine

[night night]

r/cablegore and r/cableporn

[dire gull]

Yea i dont like cables al around the Floor 😂

[dire gull]

It is Good enough for me This way

[night night]

there's a fork

on your floor

[hasty nova]

I know

[night night]

and a piss stain

and some

[hasty nova]

Gravy

[night night]

lotion maybe?

[dire gull]

The Floor need also to eat

[hasty nova]

😉

[night night]

so

you feed your floor gravy with a fork?

nice

[hasty nova]

No ?

[night night]

o

[hidden shell]

Gross

[hasty nova]

The fork is temporary

[dire gull]

It is for the picture?

[hasty nova]

The gravy I fell asleep with a plate in my lap while I was watching a movie and the plate spilt on the floor

[night night]

[hasty nova]

Meme review

👏 👏

[night night]

Meme 👏 Review 👏

[hasty nova]

Moneeeeeey

[dire gull]

A +1 for the utp labels 🙄

[hasty nova]

Ok guys I have a question

[dire gull]

But the large plugs my god

[hasty nova]

Ok guys I have a question

[night night]

Ok guy ask the question

[hasty nova]

My power unit is 500W but I'm not sure how much my extension can take??

[night night]

mhmmmmm

[hidden shell]

I know how to make a clean setup though, did this a couple of months ago 😃

[night night]

This is so sad, "Alexa... Play despacito 2"

nice sysgen

[hasty nova]

Answer question please

[night night]

👌

[dire gull]

Only way is to calculate your watt of al your hardware

[night night]

^

[hasty nova]

I want to.know if it bloo up

[night night]

erm

try it and find out 😉

That'll work

might cost a bit

😕

[hasty nova]

How much can the extender take?

[hidden shell]

Extension of what?

[dire gull]

Evert component have a amount of watts that they use xount it up and you have a idea of your useage

[hasty nova]

I have screen and computer and Xbox one and Wi-Fi extender and phone charger and laptop charger connected to my power outlet extender

[dire gull]

A powr supply can not be extended

[hasty nova]

How much before boom

[dire gull]

You mens now your breaker?

[hidden shell]

Add them up, max is around 1500 watts

[hasty nova]

:o

Is that ok ?

[hidden shell]

And it won't boom, the breaker will just trip

[hasty nova]

Trip ?

[hidden shell]

The breaker will flip, disconnect, trip, turn off

[dire gull]

On a 16amp breaker in the netherlands they say max 3500watt so there is Some space for setting Things on

[hasty nova]

Oh that happens all the time so i go i seletaped the switch into the on position

[hidden shell]

Oh, you are on 240volts, it's different then.

[dire gull]

230v yes

[hidden shell]

Well it's double the wattage then

[hasty nova]

Our breaker keeps turning off, so I seletaped the switch so it won't turn off, yeeeet

No power outages boi

[hidden shell]

[dire gull]

Breaker amp * voltage = watt

[hasty nova]

@hidden shell ?

[hidden shell]

You taped the breaker !! Then it will boom !!!

[dire gull]

If it is a Good breaker the tape wont work

[hidden shell]

Big fire hazard

[dire gull]

Beauce it trip internaly

[hasty nova]

I don't know I just used duck tape

It hasn't tripped since

[grizzled crow]

🤔

[dire gull]

People think tape a breaker works 😂 funny

[grizzled crow]

you're deffo gonna die @hasty nova

ngl

[hidden shell]

You are kidding, no way

[hasty nova]

What do you mean I'm gonna die???

[grizzled crow]

with your dodgy electrical stuff

[hidden shell]

In a blasing fire

[hasty nova]

It kept tripping before I tapped it

[grizzled crow]

your house is probs gonna burn down

[hasty nova]

Almost every week it would trip once or twice.

[hidden shell]

Breakers are there to save your life

[hasty nova]

Are they?

[hidden shell]

Yes

[dire gull]

No

[hasty nova]

Well there annoying as hell

It kept turning off

[dire gull]

Only for burning down Everyting...

[hidden shell]

You are drawing too much power, the wires get hot and might catch fire...

The breaker is there to prevent that

[hasty nova]

Oh ?

[dire gull]

A breaker is there for a reason, you have to much things on the breaker which mens he trip to protecg everyting

And my autocorrectie fails

[hasty nova]

Breaker attack

Breaker protect

Breaker destroy my internet

[grizzled crow]

ok

[hasty nova]

On a serious note, if it's really there to save me from going up in flames then maybe i should un tape It

[dire gull]

You have to much stuff on the breaker that is the reason why he trips

[hidden shell]

Yes, you really should

[hasty nova]

But it kept turning off before I taped it

[hidden shell]

Because you have too much stuff on the same circuit

[dire gull]

Sysgen a Good breaker trip internal the leaver have then no function, they have always put it off before they can turn it on normaly

Yea that is the mens reason that it trip

[hidden shell]

Yes, I know

[dire gull]

But i dont know what kind of breakers the uk use so

[hidden shell]

I don't quit beleive a peice of tape would prevent it from tripping, they trip internally

[hasty nova]

But we paying for the electricity so why are you saying there's to much ??

[hidden shell]

Shake head...

[dire gull]

Every breaker can only use a max amount of watts

[hidden shell]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc979OhitAg

[dire gull]

And your main fuse/breaker have also a limit for use

[hasty nova]

And I've got 500W right here baby

I know how electricity works but I don't understand the breaker box, why can't we increase the watts to breaker if it's to much?

[grizzled crow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q31SzeVjP0

[hidden shell]

to increase the breaker, you would have to increase the wires size in the wall, to the breaker box, then change the breaker for a stronger one

[hasty nova]

I watched the video but i don't know which problem it is ?

[hidden shell]

First reason, Overloading

[hasty nova]

I think I might get my dad to call the electric peopless

[upper dove]

An electrician 😉

[dire gull]

They say the Same as we do probaly

[hasty nova]

But he can pin point the problem

All these are just generic suggestions

[dire gull]

I have learned for elektricien so i know what are the problems can be But that is for who dont have learn it also not that hard normaly

If a breaker trip it means overloading

[hidden shell]

Or a short

[dire gull]

If a earth fault breaker trip there is a fault in one of your elektrics

Yea also

[hidden shell]

Breakers do fail, it could be defective and too "sensitive", but in your case, i suspect you are drawing too much power

[wide temple]

don't do any electrical wiring yourself, call a certified electrician, holy shit

you are playing with literal fire

[dire gull]

Have it in my house a 6 month back they the breaker was broken and dont came off

[wide temple]

and remove the tape before something does catch fire as others have said

[hasty nova]

Well nothing bad has happend, yet

[wide temple]

doesn't mean nothing bad will happen

[hasty nova]

And I went to remove the tap already

[wide temple]

good, make sure you or someone in your family calls an electrician, it might be expensive but it's better to spend money rather than skimping in order to save

especially with something that has the potential to be life threatening

[hidden shell]

Power is equal to the voltage multiplied by the current
So if you have a device that is drawing 2 amps, and your voltage is 240V
240V X 2 amps = 480 watts, do the same with everything you have attached to this circuit and add them all up. You should not exceed ~3500 watts

[grizzled crow]

i wired up a socket etc without calling an electrician

https://www.tenor.co/siKR.gif

[wide temple]

wiring a socket is taught at school you dumbo

[grizzled crow]

no its not

[wide temple]

yes it is, we were taught it in science

physics I think

[grizzled crow]

we didnt

[wide temple]

did you do triple science?

[hasty nova]

Yea I was carrying clothes upstairs during the night and breaker flipped, I almost fell down the stairs

[grizzled crow]

i cant remember

looooool pingu

[hasty nova]

Not funny

[grizzled crow]

ik its hilarious

[hasty nova]

The clothes were clean as weel6

[wide temple]

biology, chemistry and physics as separate subjects?

[upper dove]

It comes under additional physics now Moh 😉

[wide temple]

I'm old ok >.<

back in my day it was just Biology, Chemistry and Physics

[hasty nova]

Haha additional, becuase peoples to stopped to learn science

[wide temple]

or "Additional" science if you did it as a solo subject

[dire gull]

Hehe i feel old to But not old at all

[hasty nova]

I'm 17 tommorow

[dire gull]

We dont have that lesson anymore the work in my time with themes which you have to make met everyting needed in it

Man, I'm enjoying 60fps

Bloody brilliant

[spiral yew]

@hasty nova did you get the pc with the pentium or the i5

[frozen meadow]

If it was a pentium he wouldn't even get 60fps in Minecraft

[night pine]

New cpu just arrived

[cosmic pawn]

Got my new internet finally all setup 😍 http://www.speedtest.net/result/7609697288.png

[upper dove]

🇳🇿 = Good internet
🇦🇺 = Less so

[cosmic pawn]

😂

So true

[upper dove]

I remember Clarkinator’s streams and they always had a high ping (If he sees this ❤)

[cosmic pawn]

280ms ping to the eu servers 😦

[tardy carbon]

280ms

[upper dove]

Could be worse

Could be like 599ms average just below the ping kick 😉

[cosmic pawn]

XDD

[hasty nova]

I got it with pentuim

But it's amazingly goodn

I'm getting over 80fps all round

And around 50-60 fps on Calais Duisburg road

[spiral yew]

the last time i played i think i got 180ms ping to one of the EU servers

[hasty nova]

I miss clarkinator

[dusty timber]

Why?))

[night summit]

🤔

[hasty nova]

Cuz

[frozen meadow]

Me too Pingu

[night summit]

He was a good member of the team tbf

[frozen meadow]

He was helpful even after he left TMP

[hasty nova]

If he comes back will he get his old position back

[night summit]

Mhm

[frozen meadow]

Most likely not

But

He could still get a manager role

[night summit]

Probs

[hasty nova]

Really want him back

Does anyone still have contact with him

[upper dove]

He's still on discord here but doesn't speak anymore

[hasty nova]

:c

😢

We need to start a petition

[upper dove]

I guess you could ping him but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hasty nova]

How ?

[upper dove]

You could DM him

He's in the user list from #general under retired legend

[hasty nova]

We need to get him out of retirement

[cinder fulcrum]

or just search clarkinator

Heyhococo how are you today?

[hasty nova]

Yo

His not in retired legend

Nuuuu

[upper dove]

Wat

He is

But you have to go into #general to see every single user cos #tech is only an assignable channel

[frozen meadow]

Also, i have contacted clarky not so long ago :p

[upper dove]

Oh aye

[hasty nova]

See If we can summon him back

Guys !!!!!

Omg

I need to post this

I know where all the retired staff have been going

[upper dove]

[hasty nova]

There going to HGVmp

Most of the retired staff are there

[frozen meadow]

we can get away with saying it better here

[grand dragon]

WireGuard is really groundbreaking.

Used OpenVPN for ages with my VPN service and I regularly had a loss of 20-30mbps when I had my VPN on.

And now with this new WireGuard VPN technology.. My internet is almost the same as normally, 6mbps less http://www.speedtest.net/result/7621538846.png

And this is to a swedish VPN, not even finnish which is my country. It is pretty crazy. Internet privacy with literally zero speed cost

https://www.wireguard.com/ For people who want to read on this..

[wide temple]

Is it open source?

I use OpenVPN on my own router to connect to it from the outside

Don’t have any complaints really

[grand dragon]

Wireguard definitely is open-source

Nowadays its widely adopted in every linux kernel and android kernel mostly

Just that the only windows version thats available is TunSafe (not the official wireguard) and it just recently was open-sourced and I think its time to use it till Wireguard releases the official one

[wide temple]

Hm, I wonder if they’ll add support on routers then

[grand dragon]

A combination of extremely high-speed cryptographic primitives and the fact that WireGuard lives inside the Linux kernel means that secure networking can be very high-speed. It is suitable for both small embedded devices like smartphones and fully loaded backbone routers.

[wide temple]

I only really use OpenVPN on my phone

[grand dragon]

"Fully loaded backbone routers"

[wide temple]

They recently updated the app too and it looks so much nicer

[grand dragon]

might be already supported

[wide temple]

Probably not on mine since my router doesn’t get updates anymore

[grand dragon]

I suggest you to check if your vpn provider has wireguard servers

[wide temple]

I don’t have a VPN provider

:p

My own connection is my VPN

[grand dragon]

So its just your router?

Ah

[wide temple]

I don’t trust third party VPN services

As much as I’d like to use one

[grand dragon]

Well I suggest you get a VPN service, I use Mullvad. Its rated the best at the moment with privacy

You dont need to register to the site

There is no passwords etc. no emails youre 100% private

pay by cash, (means you can send a IRL mail with cash)

No activity logs kept, fast servers etc.

Its 5€/monyh

month

[wide temple]

see, when someone says they don't store activity logs

I find it really hard to believe

[grand dragon]

Yeah well with mullvad its pretty much proven

[vocal cliff]

How is it proven?

[grand dragon]

https://thatoneprivacysite.net/2017/10/03/mullvad-review/ https://www.mullvad.net/en/guides/no-logging-data-policy/

How do you think they are going to log anything important when there is no user information kept AT all?

There is no registration

There is nothing to keep

Torrenting and P2P is allowed too, so you're fine.

Also this nice image, which had some content redacted

The only con is that Mullvad is located within the fourteen eyes jurisdiction, but even still, when there is no registration info kept etc. if you pay with bitcoin there is absolute zero way to identify you.

Fact is though, most of the vpns are located within the fourteen eyes so

[vocal cliff]

A company can tell you they don't log all they want. What they do on their servers we do not know. VPN providers have been busted for saying no-logging, but have logged. Just because they don't request your personal information such as email etc, does not mean they don't log information

[grand dragon]

What do you think they are going to log huh?

When there is nothing to connect to you

[vocal cliff]

You think your IP is nothing?

[grand dragon]

And I know, PIA and pretty much everyone has been busted for no-logging

Pretty much yes when there is no proof of you doing anything illegal under your own IP

[vocal cliff]

How do you know there's no proof?

[grand dragon]

Because there is no user info kept anywhere

If you torrent something, how are they going to connect it to you if they for example called Mullvad when they have nothing on you?

[vocal cliff]

By IP...?

[grand dragon]

Didnt do with your own IP

🤷

Like I said Mullvad doesnt keep logs

[vocal cliff]

Your IP connects to the VPN, no?

[grand dragon]

Of course

[vocal cliff]

And how are you so sure what they do on their servers?

[grand dragon]

No logs no proof 😛

It's pretty much given if they dont even keep user info they have zero reason to keep logs either because it doesnt make sense. Actually, there is zero way to prove they actually don't keep logs but they have been in this business for a bit now and still not a single proof that they keep logs

But yeah, you can never be 100% sure

[frozen meadow]

but...

you dont know if they dont log 😉

[grand dragon]

🤔 😉

[cunning geyser]

VPN providers log your data so that in case you do anything illegal, they can get you, if you think you are 100% hidden, you are highly mistaken here

[grand dragon]

Mullvad allows torrenting and p2p in their VPN and it also has 500k+ users, I would think so far if they actually kept activity logs, there would be a bust

And anyways, how do YOU know they log? Call me highly mistaken all you want

[cunning geyser]

Lol just because they have 500k+ users doesn't mean they don't log. It's something that none of us would know.

[naive temple]

Does someone know a good free vpn for windows.

[grand dragon]

Numark either way my point is id rather trust a swedish company with completely private registration and no strings attached than other companies that promise no logging but don't actually advocate privacy at all

[spiral yew]

Muzolf have you asked them to show you proof that they don't log your IP and if not then how do you know they aren't secretly logging your IP

[grand dragon]

I've asked my question, but until the real answer I'll be laughing at your faces ;)

[frozen meadow]

Yano they will lie through their teeth like every other company

[cunning geyser]

of course they will lie, even facebook says your data is safe, but it got breached and was shared with an analytics firm

[grand dragon]

Say what you say but I'm adamant about who I trust

Facebook is not even comparable to vpn services.. Facebook doesnt keep your data safe to begin with when your profile is public anyways

[cunning geyser]

You have no idea about GDPR then 😂

[grand dragon]

Yes I do have an idea how GDPR works, whats your point?

[cunning geyser]

Maybe you should read this if you don't know about the facebook data breach

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook–Cambridge_Analytica_data_scandal

And my point was about the "lieing" part, they will say "yes we don't log" to look professional and safe but you will never know the truth.

But either way, if you trust them, then good for you.

[spiral yew]

Well that's interesting my mobo has a LN2 mode

[grand dragon]

Well you must have a pretty high-end motherboard

[wide temple]

Asus motherboard?

[spiral yew]

yea ASUS ROG

That happend almost everytime after the new release for a iOS 😆

[frozen meadow]

😮

I wonder where they got that idea from...

[frozen meadow]

lol

[upper dove]

[frozen meadow]

I still got the original PS1

not the PSOne btw

that weird rounded remake xd

[upper dove]

I do have an original PS3 that I believe plays PS1 and PS2 games, can’t remember exactly but I believe it can

[frozen meadow]

if it's the giant one that isn't a matte texture then yes

i have a PS3 Slim

and a PS2 Original

and a PSP

and a PS Vita

and my brother and dad have a PS4

yet i'm an xbox guy

xd

[upper dove]

Yea it’s the glossy fat one from 2006

[frozen meadow]

it can play PS2 games

but has the yellow light of death 😱

[upper dove]

Can’t remember if it does PS1 games tho

And this one doesn’t

[frozen meadow]

all PS3s can play PS1 games

only the fat one can play PS2 games tho

i hate the Playstation controllers mainly because of the joystick positions

and the weird shape that ain't comfortable for the hands

-_-

[upper dove]

I don’t mind the PS4 controllers, PS3 ones are a bit eh

[frozen meadow]

PS3 are a bit cheap

PS4 are quite good

until you keep accidently touching the touch pad

[upper dove]

Except mine is broken cos my brother dropped it or something >.<

[frozen meadow]

rip

i mean the thing i hate most about Playstations

is the interface

it's horrible

[upper dove]

It’s alright xd

[frozen meadow]

just blocks stacked next to each other

like rly

and you have to scroll all the way to the end to see ALL of your games and apps

instead of just clicking one button and they're all there

[upper dove]

Xbox One is too complicated xd

[frozen meadow]

Xbox One is quite good tbh, it's like all the stuff is in the right place and easy to use

xd

Xbox 360 new dashboard is ew, Xbox 360 NXE (before windows 8 metro dash) looks great and was rly easy to use

dont know why they ditched the nice designs tbh

[upper dove]

Cos they wanna make Xbox look like Windows and Windows to look like OS X

[frozen meadow]

lol no

i hate metro design

fluent is mehh but aero is great

[upper dove]

Switch to OS X and it’s bliss xd

[frozen meadow]

material design 2 is just 😍

my dad has a Mac, i have no clue how to use it

but it's nice

[upper dove]

It’s brilliant, once you know what you’re doing 😉

[frozen meadow]

lol

i'd like to see you play DVDs... oh wait

[upper dove]

External DVD drive 😉

[frozen meadow]

U DIDNT GET THE JOKE, smh ur rubbish at this

[upper dove]

Nvm

[frozen meadow]

i was meaning that M$ makes you pay £13 to watch DVDs

cos they removed the codecs

but i re-added them for free

they're not taking my money they can f off

xd

[upper dove]

At least most Windows PCs come with a DVD drive unlike Macs xd

[frozen meadow]

ye

[upper dove]

But Macs can play them right away 😉

[frozen meadow]

tbh i am waiting for M$ to scrap Windows 10 cos of how big of a fail it was

and it still is tbh

[frozen meadow]

I overclocked the crap out of my graphics card and my cpu is the one having a hard time lool

anyway

30-50fps average turned into 60-70fps average

and that was in italia dlc too

[somber dawn]

wow

Maybe it's because 1.32 I have way better fps

[fickle plank]

I have a 75hz monitor should I buy gtx1060 (6gb) or gtx1060 (3gb) or gtx1050ti?

[frozen meadow]

1060 6gb

is best

[fickle plank]

Do it depend on the hz of a monitor?

[frozen meadow]

not really

[somber dawn]

It doesn't,but get a 1060

The Hz is just the max FPS you can see on the monitor

[warm sigil]

@fickle plank For ETS2 a 1050ti should be enough, but if you play other, more grphically intensive games too, then I'd recommend a 1060 6gb.

[flat grove]

75hz with a 1050(ti) is in most cases already very borderline, especially due to the very limited graphics memory. From my experience a custom 1060 6GB is what you need for 1080p75 at ultra.

[warm sigil]

I have a 1060 in my desktop pc and a 1050ti in my Laptop, all I can say is that I get with a 1060 @ FullHD & Ultra often more than 100-120fps with 100% resolution scaling

And with the 1050ti (Laptop) on High-Ultra @ 100% resolutions scaling in FUllHD a steady 60fps (with vsync on)

I think a 1050ti would be enough to play ETS2 High Settings 100% resolution scaling @ 1080p75

Maybe even Ultra

[fickle plank]

My monitor ain't fhd so k won't see it anyways

[fickle plank]

How is this PC for ets2?

Gtx1060
8gb Ram

[flat grove]

that looks pretty decent

[fickle plank]

Gtx1060 6GB

[frozen meadow]

Im happy http://www.speedtest.net/result/7652185735.png

[somber dawn]

How much do you pay?

[frozen meadow]

£80+ a month i think

[somber dawn]

Wow

[frozen meadow]

instead of the £120 with our old one

[somber dawn]

Well at least we pay only £10 hehe

[frozen meadow]

pay more m8 and get better xd

thats decent for £10 tho

xd

[somber dawn]

Well ofc xD

£80 a month, I think we pay half that and get the same speed

[somber dawn]

20/10 or something for $3 a month but he's from Bangladesh
