but there are two entries for the one you mentioned so idk

one is available at that price

nah I'm looking at Deutsche Amazon and it's the same there

#

well, I checked the DR5 spec and it cools up to 210W and this CPU asks a 200W cooler

#

should be fine I guess..

#

cooler is not the worst thing to upgrade later down the line I guess

#

I checked many configurators on many different sites and it's even a miracle to find who stocks Noctua.. most sites have ridicolous cooling solutions

#

it's the hardest piece along main board

Have any of you heard of this promoter for streamers named Doland Rich? I'm asking around before I give him money so I'm certain he's on the up and up

@pastel crag sent me to this guy. I was just trying to get serious about streaming professionally cause I genuinely want to do this as a living

Any mods that could investigate this for me just so I know for certain?

violet coyote
#

I don't mean it in that way, I'm just asking cause if this isn't on the up and up I want to know but if its legitimate I dont want to just dismiss it

#

Especially since a member here recommended this guy

opaque halo
#

Just because someone here recommends them doesn't mean it's legitimate (especially just some random person). Several have said already it's a scam. If you want to "give it a try", that's completely on you.

I might just ghost this guy then. I am disappointed cause I was looking for someone that legitimately could help me out.

Just block them without explanation.

In terms of streaming professionally, the honest answer is it's a million to one shot. Get a solid day job and make YouTube bangers to build an audience, funnel em to Twitch. The doors to organic growth from 0 to Ninja are essentially closed now. If they were open for you, with respect, you wouldn't be asking or considering paying folks.

Do it because you love it. Make friends on the platform you like. See what comes. That's the best way about it.

I have a whatsapp pc question i cant seem to find the answer for

#

i was using my laptop the last few days and had whatsapp on it and noticed some of the newer contacts do not appear saved and instead of showing their name, it still shows their number as if i didnt save them

#

one of them even shows an old name i used despite changing the contacts name 6 months or so ago

#

on my phone and desktop pc, everything is up to date

#

so anyone know why there is a sync issue?

#

I want to add that I probably use whatsapp on my laptop at least once a month, so it must have updated the contacts sometime in the last 6 months i was using it

livid plover
#

restart app/force sync if option given, or re-login i guess

vernal current
#

i restart it everytime i turn my laptop on, that doesnt seem to do anything

#

i can still use it fine sending and receiving messages

#

just the contacts are not update

I appreciate that. I essentially grew up on Debian and its derivatives, my RHEL experience is just "That one lab at uni" and work ... but largely Ubuntu is everywhere now so that's the arena I find myself in. I might try Mint or Pop, but Ubuntu Studio has been good to me for the most part.

I also like that you can make your own

The BEST default ujust invocation is ujust update tho

It updates all things on all package managers, and updates the system itself

"how to i overclock my gpu tho"

"ujust install-lact"

#

if I were to set up me steamdeck today it'd be bazzite based

#

but on launch day that wasn't a thing, and like steamos still works so 🤷‍♀️

scarlet kernel
#

They have a build for steam deck specifically that keeps all of the Steam Gaming Mode stuff like firmware control

#

So it's a raw upgrade over steamOS

tall vapor
#

yup yup, just can't be arsed to migrate

scarlet kernel
#

Yeah, it's not a massive upgrade

#

You go from arch to fedora and get some basic convenience

#

That's all

tall vapor
#

yup p much

scarlet kernel
#

But for something like the Rog Ally?

#

It's god-tier

tall vapor
#

the integrated waydroid rather than havin to do it yourself and such is nice sure

#

but

#

I got that all set up already anyway

#

sure kernel upgrades are a bit annoying cause gotta rebuild the modules that waydroid needs, buut..... eh so do the steamos upgrade, run the rebuild script and done

#

though yeah if I was to set the deck up today? of course it'd just run bazzite and we done

tall vapor
#

for stuff that doesn't yet work with steamos ootb on non-steamdeck in terms of controls. on like the ally it's gettin much better as of late as they fix stuff up to do a more general release, yup yup

but still

Let's just say that the deck2 will be mine as soon as valves gives us that buy button AFoxy_HeheLaugh (unless they do the launch model as LCD rather than OLED for some godforsaken reason)

what do fine people here use for video players? I don't like VLC because it's really slow to start up and cannot display video without going out of fullscreen (bitrates, fps and such).

Steve Jobs was against third-party apps on iPhone at first because "we have HTML5 and Safari for that"

Ring has a wireless doorbell as well. The app will notify you of any motion. You can also set it to call your phone when someone rings the bell. You can see them as well as chat with them over you phone. There is also an indoor chime which you plug into a standard outlet. The chime can notify you where there is motion on any of the cameras as well as announce if there is activity at the front door which is picked up by the Ring doorbell @marsh helm

those are both owned by amazon right?

The ring cameras can store to a SD card. If you want to use the features, you need to connect them to a Wi-Fi router. The videos are uploaded to a secure storage and you can opt to not capture video and just do the live feed if you wish.

It sounds like you may want a "local" security system which stores to an internal HDD on the "box" which the cameras connect to. Some are wired and some are wireless.

there are plotter heads afaik

the new H2D bambu comes with one for cutting

tall vapor

I have a plotter that I bought as a cheap kit for fun, the head is a suuuuuuuuper cheaply made 3d printed thing

but also cricut, and that a proper plotter has many much nicer features like roll feed

tall vapor
tall vapor
livid plover

wrong but sure

#

they make ones with ethernet and you can just non-network the other ones nowadays

tall vapor

I literally tried looking for a way to run such a thing without any of their stuff

not too long ago either

#

out of curiousity

#

didn't find nuffin

look again. orcaslicer and disable the networking

for the bambu?

or the cricut

livid plover
#

start a print with SD card

tall vapor
#

okie ya so that still works without auth

#

stilll

#

not exactly behaviour that I'd want to support LOL

livid plover
#

no still, just read. it's heavily suggested to do cloud but not required, at all.

tall vapor
#

but no network without cloud still

#

and the "still" is in regards to their bs

livid plover
#

LAN-mode

#

but also, just build a CoreXY yourself, same thing minus the integrations

tall vapor
#

which does require auth and their bambu connect software even if you're runnin orca

#

the lan mode that is

#

either way I don't see anything defensible in this document, the /ONLY/ thing that should require a connection to them or their stuff is when you literally use their cloud

#

otherwise?

#

ew.

livid plover
#

but how else will they sell you on their nice features and fancy RFID tagged filaments?

tall vapor
#

and yah, the cricut can only be run with their stuff which is what I initially wrote

tall vapor
#

literally the apple of 3d printers

livid plover
#

shame prusa took forever to improve on their stuff

left heart
#

I like the idea of being able to hook up a 3d printer to LAN for submitting jobs and firewalling it off from everything external. sucks to be unable to do that.

I like the idea of buying something and then doing what I want with it

I'm also amazed apple follows any USB-PD standards

tall vapor
livid plover

good, cause supposedly it's one of the better USB DAC in a 3.5mm jack adaptor you can get

#

the google one supposedly awful

left heart
#

it's pretty good as long as you don't load it down with something high impedance

tall vapor
#

yup yup the apple usb-c to 3.5mm adaptor is a surprisingly good dac for it's price

#

which is funny cause it's apple

#

only thing I wonder is whether it still falls apart after like a year like all their lightning cables did

livid plover
#

i don't mind, means they're easy to get when it breaks

tall vapor
#

and like yeah as long as you're runnin it with some IEMs or sth that's perfectly fine indeed

left heart
#

my ancient sound card was PCI, after I upgraded my motherboard to something modern I was using onboard audio for years and eventually got fed up with the shitty cabling my case had to the front panel. grabbed a fosi ds2 and it's been... mostly fine

#

I do appreciate it just having a usb-c port on it rather than a built-in cable sticking out

tall vapor
#

I've been runnin a umc204hd for a couple years by now that I got for cheap cause broken usb port (fullsize b, y'all know exactly what happened)

and yup replaced it with a port harvested from a dead printer

#

dead printers are a great source of metal rods in random diameters, USB-B ports and screws

left heart
#

oh it also came with a cute little 15cm usb-c to usb-c cable that I now use with an SDR dongle because it's just a better quality cable than the one that came with the SDR doggolul

tall vapor
#

I wonder whom all of the multi port usb-c pd charger bricks are for? Yes the ones that turn off power for a couple secs to all the ports whenever you plug in another device cause why tf not that surely is convenient and totally not cheaping out?

ah, apparently sabrent actually makes a decent one of those that doesn't do that

bigger number better, no need to actually be able to handle the number tho

livid plover

how could they

next you're gonna tell me that the one that amazon advertises as "240w capable" can't actually handle 240w which means that the aliexpress listing is actually much more honest

at this rate I'm gonna find some narrowband red LEDs and put something together myself. fortunately I usually don't need a flashlight to see when I'm out observing

they sell it as 1W (halogen equivalent), but once you open the box you will find 1W (bogstandard lightbulb equivalent)

i love seeing those "big-ass-LED-COB-on-CPU-Cooler" flashlights

I have a couple of those, but they're for my plants doggolul

tall vapor
livid plover
#

i'd guess so, haven't looked much into them, just saw them and laughed at the absurdity

left heart
#

the constant reminder that, no, LEDs are not 90%+ efficient in terms of electrical power consumption

tall vapor
#

and even if the LED itself might be when they're properly driven

#

ya still gotta take the circuitry that drives them into account

left heart
#

the diode itself is also not anywhere near that efficient

tall vapor
#

then also the efficiency of the phosphors that convert the LED output into actually human visible light

#

then the losses as the light passes through that crappy milky plastic you put over it

left heart
#

the ratio of radiant flux to electrical energy consumption for a white LED is lower than 0.5

tall vapor
#

which compared to anything else really is still hella good

left heart
#

oh yeah, excellent in context

#

just you still gotta cool them

tall vapor
#

yup

livid plover
#

most of the time it's the stupid ass cheap crappy driver/power supply that fucks off on LED stuff. the whole "10.000hr lifetime" seems to not apply to anything but the LED

tall vapor
left heart
#

the "efficiency" numbers you typically see touted are regarding how well the light curve matches photopic vision response curves

livid plover
#

that too, tl;dr: the only thing livign 10k hours is the plastic/aluminium housing

livid plover
tall vapor
left heart
#

not quite, it's a bit different to what CRI is trying to measure

livid plover
#

ah yeah fair

livid plover
left heart
#

as an example, the unit Lumen is typically weighted to photopic vision response curves

#

so the Lumen/W figure you see on a lot of LEDs is actually Lumen (photopic weighted) / W (radiant flux output of the diode)

#

rather than W (electrical power consuption)

#

so if your light curve matches well with photopic vision, that's how you get those 90% "efficiencies"

tall vapor
livid plover
#

do explain

that's also why low pressure sodium bulbs have such high Lumen/W, the sodium lines match up very well with that

livid plover

Oh didn't realize they were that efficient, and has the cool yellow vibe

used to be common in street lighting, still is to a degree

livid plover

Yeah. Neighbour had a big fuckoff projector with that bulb in it at one point for house renovations

yeah the big issue with them is the mercury

livid plover

and yup, they take a while to warm up

and like their literal garbage cri

makes them work as street lighting

but not much else

afaik the narrowband nature is pretty decent for lighting in fog too

#

but yeah, pretty much a street lighting exclusive

with the niche machine shop optical flat testing use-case too

fair

#

but you still just use the made for streetlighting bulbs for that

😅

left heart
#

there are some cool narrowband amber LEDs that the dark sky association recommends to replace old streetlights with. there are a couple of cities that have them in their lighting codes

and others just turn the night to day and don't bother to ensure they actually light up the street and not like the whole sky

the plugin has had a long history of being reliable at breaking

especially at OBS update cycles

to the point that it was the top support issue by number of incidents for multiple consecutive OBS releases

the recent changes they made to add their multistreaming has brought the plugin back into the "very bad" category again

do they now have a multistreaming server?

if you're referring to them offering something similar to restream.io for multistreaming, I don't think they do

for multistreaming i am actually still unable to get a new hardware still

don't they handle the multistreaming online now?

From what I'm remebering, your hardware can't handle the multiple encodes you want, you're unable to buy better, unwilling to stream less, and unable to pay for a service that does the multistreaming for you.

Then why try anything else? You have your free premium sub there, just use t until it runs out, then decide what you're going to do. Pay for it for longer, or get better hardware.

And i am actually using their software for 1 full year

#

It expires next year

#

I am just exploring the update

#

I actually just finished my test run

#

LOL, where are you searching?

civic quarry
#

Bing

silver fable
#

Last I checked, Bing was a bug. roflBBB

civic quarry
#

And the computer i have

prisma dove
#

according to my pest control company it is a bug

civic quarry
#

Specifically

carmine ibex
#

actually, hasn't the 50% off thing been a thing for a while... idk

silver fable
#

Even Bing is telling me you just need to fix your stuff.

civic quarry
#

After updating

#

It doesn't

silver fable
#

Just tells me it's something on your end. Faulty hardware, cable, monitor, driver, something.

civic quarry
#

Nope tried all that doesnt work

#

Try searching my pc model

#

And i got this from co pilot

Just to be clear there is no “windows 11 second monitor bug”, you really should reach out to proper support if you’re having issues with that

#

!techsupport

wise bayBOT
civic quarry
#

I did reach out to support already

#

And it worked for a while but after my graphics card and my windows it stopped working for no reason

#

That is why i say its a windows 11 update second monitor bug

amber sparrow
#

Except it's not

prisma dove
civic quarry
#

Ok like what

#

Its not the cable either it seems to work with my other pc

prisma dove

#

simple way to confirm whether that's a software thing or not would be to just boot off of a live usb with the lin distro of your choice and see if it shows up there?

Either way first thing to check of course would be to check where the second monitor is plugged in 🤷‍♀️

#

but yus

civic quarry
#

It just stopped working all the sudden

prisma dove
# civic quarry I didn't do anything

If you turn on your pc and connect it to the internet, it always does something.
Screenshots are unnecessary. We don't have the resources here to do anything for your hardware.

#

of course, a production date of 2008 may be a contributing factor.

silver fable
#

17 year old TFT monitor shit the bed.

civic quarry
#

Not in a situation to buy a new monitor either

#

I am basically stuck until microsoft does something

silver fable
#

I don't think Microsoft can fix your broken monitor.

civic quarry
#

I did update my drivers this morning from windows 11

#

Update and its not a broken monitor

#

It works

#

Just not working whenever the monitor is connected to my pc

prisma dove
#

Well, sounds like you narrowed it down. Nothing we can help with here. Time to move on.

civic quarry
prisma dove
#

🤷‍♂️

#

Not the place for this

civic quarry
#

Ok

civic quarry
#

Yep its official

#

Its my windows 11 preview version

#

I found out just now

#

It seems like i have the preview version of the windows

prisma dove
#

well you never mentioned Preview version, that changes everything. You seem to leave out the important details, like unproven beta versions of the operating system. Don't be the guinea pig. Stay on stable releases for everything if the production content is a factor.

civic quarry
#

Yes i know i must of misclicked

#

I just found out using chatgpt

#

I took a picture of my system info

#

Upload to chat gpt

#

And it told me

jaunty fulcrum
#

so, it's "not official"
"chatgpt told you" is not proof of anything

civic quarry
#

If you want to see my windows build see it

jaunty fulcrum
#

nothing on that screen says insider. 26100 is 24H2, which is publicly released

civic quarry
#

I thought 24h2 isnt released

jaunty fulcrum
#

It carries the build number 10.0.26100.

The update began rolling out to all users on October 1, 2024

civic quarry
#

Yet?

#

Preview version 24h2

#

Insider version

#

24h2

jaunty fulcrum
#

is that in the About screen on your PC?

civic quarry
#

Yes

#

Wait hold on

jaunty fulcrum
#

what version does the winver command say?

civic quarry
jaunty fulcrum
#

confirmed, not an insider build. that's a standard Windows 11 installation running the latest Patch Tuesday update, released 7 days ago.

civic quarry
#

You sure?

#

It seems its a beta like a canary developer preview

jaunty fulcrum
civic quarry
#

Then why does my monitor dont work then

#

It works when i plug it to a different computer which is a monitoring computer

#

It all the sudden stopped working

jaunty fulcrum
jaunty fulcrum
civic quarry
#

Definitely not true

#

I plug it into the hdmi port

jaunty fulcrum
#

on the motherboard or the graphics card?

civic quarry
#

Internal port hdmi

jaunty fulcrum
#

do you have a graphics card? because usually when one is plugged in, the motherboard hdmi is disabled.

civic quarry
#

My computer only has one hdmi port

#

Since its a laptop

jaunty fulcrum
#

then, with the monitor plugged in, press Windows10 +P on your keyboard, and select "Extend"

civic quarry
#

I do i have hp notebook 15 fc0000

#

Its doing nothing when i tried that

#

And then when i plug in to detect the monitor it gets an error says we cannot find another display

#

That is pretty much why i am calling it a bug

jaunty fulcrum
#

or a dead hdmi port, that can happen.

civic quarry
#

Its a bug that doesn't affect everyone only a certain people

prisma dove
civic quarry
#

Definitely not true either because my hdmi works with a different cable and my tv works

#

Just not my monitor

#

It connects its definitely not dead

prisma dove
#

Then it's weird issue, but not a bug in the software technical sense. Like you showed us earlier, that monitor is very old. It may not be compatible with the latest Windows or GPU drivers.

civic quarry
#

It used to work and then it stopped working

prisma dove
#

And you can't expect Microsoft to support something from April 2008

#

Right, likely because you updated Windows.

wheat karma
#

mess about with the display settings on the monitor, maybe source settings idk

left mulch
#

You’re suggesting that an HDMI monitor is somehow unsupported by recent windows updates?

#

This makes as much sense as “second monitor bug”

civic quarry
#

Well my monitor dvi to hdmi

left mulch
#

Have you tested plugging anything else into the monitor with the same cables?

prisma dove
#

I've had issues with older monitors, granted much older than that one. And one of them was in an all-in-one.

open rune
#

If this is an HP W1707 it would also have to go through an adapter to connect to a laptop HDMI port right? Specs say VGA and DVI

#

That might also be worth looking at

#

Damn I'm late

#

lmao

civic quarry
#

I have a converter cable

#

I dont need a adapter

open rune
#

Same difference really

left mulch
#

unplug the HDMI from the laptop and plug it into a different device that you can test like a video game console or anything that connects through HDMI

#

this will give you a quick answer of whether it is anything related to your laptop at all that is having an issue

civic quarry
#

I dont have another video console

#

All i have is the tv

left mulch
#

you do not have anything that outputs video through HDMI?

civic quarry
#

Nope except the tv
