This is going to be the worst easter ever. First a broken heating element in a laundry machine and now there is something short-circuiting the boiler....
Technician is coming tomorrow, hope it won't be expensive....
I'm more worried about the cost 😅
Hope the electronics aren't fried because that's going to be expensive as hell
At this point, I am considering solar heating instead of gas boiler as the next option
Not to mention EU funds this or next year which could reduce the cost of installation
So much better than cable..
Fiber?
ping tells me otherwise
Oh, didn't notice the ping 
i hope not
It's fiber.
Nice. I am already preparing for fiber in advance (getting it this year hopefully) and plan on buying this
+poe injector for the AP
I live pretty far from a major city
So if you have the budget for it, you need a firewall.. I'm not sure about the sfp ont.. check and make sure that'll work with your provider.
Already did, the one on the picture is actually a rebranded Zyxel pmg3000-d20b module and people have managed to configure it to work for my ISP 
Much better than having a separate ont + modem
Other ISP's only allow you to connect your own equipment to the ISP modem and setup the bridge mode
*well another major ISP that is
Yeah... with at&t I had to disable everything and configure ip passthrough.. kind of bullshit
One of the other ISP's will terminate your contract if they detect you completelly replaced their equipment with yours....
thats gotta be illegal
It's not
they should let me use my own equipment, I just want their service
Thank our wonderful previous leader that did away with net neutrality.
One of the customers claims customer support told them that. Who knows if that's true or not 🤷♂️
They could say it violates the tos and shut you off
that's why I start with any "official" phone call with "This call is being recorded" and also record it.
fuckers ain't lying to me
I'd love to have a dumb ont and not this uverse smart garbage.
This is pretty good. You'll get the most out of your wap by having dedicated network controller
I still hate the guy with passion who did phone line wiring in my house 35 years ago
He didn't place conduits inside a wall and decided to cement the phone wire instead....
21 items
someone has a wishlist
I had to drill the holes and make conduits inside a wall because of that....
well it's time to say goodbye to windows completely and wipe that shit off my drives
This will be... my third order from them
I need to reorganize my network cabinet so It looks neat
man my isp is so shit do you think it would make a difference that all the homes around me are 1.8m+. would that encourage an isp to build fiber around an area?
Definiteky
ok most of the homes aren't built yet so they might start when people are actually living in them
that rover is a statboosting cheatcode
hehe, yeah
Mine shot the one gas thing
but so is mortar sentry tbf
Yesh
I just had very unfortunate luvk
And got sent thru my own flames
Why do helldivers not have fire resistant suits
we burn for democracy
isn't there smth to make you more resistant to some types of damage?
Kinda
I'm using the 50/50 chance of not dying suit
I run a medic heavy armor so I can resist a bit more
And have two extra stims
My bug loadout for all diffs
Is orbital lazer, flame thrower, lazer dog, cluster bomb
500kg, flame thrower, tacpac, gatlin sentry
Tho for bots I run completely different loadout and armor
i like playing bugs
Bugs on the thin their number missions on anything above difficulty 6 is nearly impossible
Bring sentrys
And flame throwers
And designate one person to bring recoilless to deal with titans
I meant solo
Solo
whoops
Impossible
Yeah. its very hard but hunters just dont give you even a 5 second window to chill and shit
I love my eagle cluster bomb so much
cluster, orbital laser, laser rover, mortar/autocannon sentry
very nice, just need to hope I find a support weapon
and Diligence cuz none of the others felt as nice
EVGA has at some point changed the accessory cable (like SATA) power connector pinout at the PSU end, without changing the keying of connectors etc...
And is delivering RMA replacements that can differ from what you originally had.

Seems to have been a thing for 2 years already.
I've heard about this happening across generations, but for.the same model is awful
Another €388 down the drain, boiler pump broke down 

Too bad 10 years ago there was no water tank with integrated heat pump. I am planning on buying this in the next 1-2 years and connect it to an existing boiler (or a new boiler with smaller capacity which will only be used for heating home)
The technician claims it's cheaper and better than solar collectors
Solar collectors would cost €5000 while water tank with heat pump would cost €3000
And you can also use that heat pump to make a vent in the basement in order to cool the air during summer


House heated water generating boiler
Gas boiler
for central heating
If I had an electric boiler, my electric bills would skyrocket lol
Gas is still cheaper here (even if you include purchase and maintenace of gas boiler)
I am sure electricity cost would be much higher than the cost of using natural gas here
I live 30 km away from a nuclear power plant. If something happens to it, I am screwed lol
Guys something is not normal
I've been hearing weird sounds from my PC when it is off for like a month
It sounds like an insect's wings grinding against a surface
But surely an insect big enough to make sounds with its wings wouldn't be able to survive on no food for months?
It 100% sounds like an insect is stuck inside the pc
Maybe like a cockroach with wings idk
Nah, psu off
Maybe it's the PSU. Can you check the exact location where the sound is coming from?
It's not consistent at all
Maybe a few times a day for 1 minute it will flap it's wings
PSU off from the back switch?
Yes
And if you remove the power cable?
I remember the sound from one of my cables touching the GPU fan, man it drove me insane 😭
There is no reliable way to test this
I just hear it once a while
And next time it happens, you remove the cable while it is happening.
Okay I'll try
But I'm telling you it sounds exactly like an insect flapping it's wings
You ever seen a stupid fly thinking transparent glass does not exist and trying to go through it?
And it's wings are grinding against the glass
It's the EXACT same sound
@sterile plinth have you opened it up and had a look inside and made sure the fins of the fan are clean?
all it takes is a small filament like strand of hair to cause an intermittent buzzing sound
as well if the fins are dirty, it could be causing an imbalance at certain speeds which sound like buzzing as it slows down and regains itself
The pc is not on tho
what?? its not ON when it buzzes?
Which is why I expect it would be something in the PSU when the PSU is only on standby mode
thats some scary shit
fun
not so win11 ?
the win10 i have on my htpc is like weirdly locked up in admin mode and doesnt seem to do updates right anymore
...what?
ah yes the famous usb hub non-volatile firewall memory
Is that a fridge? It looks like one.
I try to drag recoilless or something when dealing with even heavier things. But problem is for bugs I'm so used to using flamethrower to clear large numbers
Ubiquiti fridge 
There is a feature called shutting down your pc.
Don't say that too loud, you might give Microsoft ideas to remove it 😂
🤣
"For security reasons, users can no longer shut down their PC so it's available for updates 24/7" 😂
Too bad they can't remove my power plug 
Imagine if they found a way, like if you plug it in, you can never unplug it.
👀
Luckily...circuit breakers!
In a not-so-distant future, Microsoft releases a highly anticipated operating system update promising revolutionary features and enhanced security. Among these innovations is a new "Smart Shutdown" system, designed to optimize power usage and improve system stability. However, beneath the guise of progress lies a sinister agenda.
As users around the globe install the update, they soon discover an unsettling truth - the Smart Shutdown feature comes with a catch. Once activated, attempting to shut down the computer through conventional means triggers a series of ominous warnings: "Shutdown Inhibited. System at Risk." Desperate attempts to force the shutdown result in dire consequences - corrupted files, damaged hardware, and even complete system failure.
Don't tell Microsoft 
post-buff expendable anti-tank is also really cool. two shots per minute, one-hits chargers (if you hit 'em right)
Man this was fun
Now I've already planned out the prison next since my party seems to jump from one horrible situation to the next
For this reason, one of the first things I advise anyone to do on a Windows install is disabling wake timers. Because one other thing this does is rev fans to the max, and I had that happen one too many times in my hotel room in the middle of the night while traveling/
federal signal backup camera... camera was crushed.. now mointor doesn't work either
what could it's dysfunction possibly be.
is this pc good guys?https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/9ZDdWt
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 7600, Radeon RX 6600, Phanteks XT PRO ULTRA ATX Mid Tower
obviously, the operator is one of them. otherwise the camera would've have been crushed
Shorted the signal lines and blew something at the monitor end when crushed?
Power to them, or to ground or whatever was needed.
possible. I'm kind of sol because I don't have the harness that goes with it ):
nothing obviously wrong with it. it just doesn't power on
overpriced RAM, kinda overpriced mainboard, overkill PSU and kinda meh SSD
Also, I recommend getting a simple aftermarket cooler, the 7600 stock cooler gets very loud under noise.
Not a fan of the GPU but it's owned so it's fine. Wouldn't task it with anything higher than 1080p tho
camera gets power from the same harness that connects to monitor.
could u modify the list for me
already on it
to your recommendations of parts
wifi included?
he got an hourly rate of 220€ tho
nah, its not necessary
wifi is good.
this is cable city. We don't trust the ghostly signal transportation. It's spooky
most of my network is wired.. and now I have to figure out a way to secure it from the most dangerous threat known to electronics.
or at least protect my poe switch
my favorite game
it finally got a logo lol
Note that the HDV mainboard I picked doesn't have ARGB headers, so you'd either have to pay more for a better board or get a case without RGB (either in the sense of it not having it or you not connecting it). Some cases have a built in hub with button control, that would still work.
Otherwise, I gave upgrade options and alternatives for mainboard, PSU and case
https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/McPT7R
Part List - AMD Ryzen 5 7600, Radeon RX 6600, Montech AIR 100 ARGB MicroATX Mid Tower
let me see it
I kept the SSD because it's much less expensive than any upgrade I could make
as for the PSU: it's great value at 100€, just gross overkill at 850W A-Tier
idc about rbg tbh
if i decide to upgrade to a 7800xt in the future that psu is good?
if you were to upgrade, a 750w PSU is probably better
the A650BN I had would work but cutting it close
I'd go for either of the other three options
i would help, but i pricing is very different where i live
650W is tolerable, especially if you're just gaming and not putting on some synthetic load.
however, I'd pick either a higher wattage or a higher quality unit just to be sure
yea, gaming and having a couple of programs open
and yeah, even for 7800XT, the A850GF is still overkill - it's a PSU you get for a 4090 or 7900XTX basically
you're welcome
@dire igloowhich one u prefer, the difference is 10$
$10 difference?
yea
also, that psu fits in a microatx?
ah fuck, 20€ shipping on the HDV
yes, there is no mATX PSU standard (even if there is, it's not commonly used). PCPP does the compatibility checking for you, if it says everything's okay, everything is okay
the next smaller common PSU size from ATX would be SFX
And the PSU sizes are about case compatibility, not MB compatibility.
it's a case labeled microATX, that's what I assumed was the question
a case being ATX/mATX/ITX or whatever btw only refers to the maximum size of mainboard it can support
replacing laptops ram rn
looks like you're replacing a laptops ram rn tbh
With the sketchiest setup ive ever seen
this is why we have removable ram slots
yea....
My first personal build
bro built it while a smoke bomb was going off
that red fan is..... e.....
I found where to put power into my camera mointor lol
i found it laying around dont question my motives
you have a hotplate?
Idk why the pic looks like that 😭
fair enough
clean your lens lmao
it coulve been worse. I was debating on buying a big ass microwave and using that as a case
It is clean thats the problem I cleaned it 2 days ago
hm... I've got voltage from the 3.3v and 1.8v regulators
if it works, it works
that aint a ddr5 issue 💀
well too bad
its getting blamed
because its not a capacity issue and i dont feel like testing it again
💀
Louis Rossmann, is that you? 
"The ramp of HBM production will constrain supply growth in non-HBM products," Mehrotra said. "Industrywide, HBM3E consumes approximately three times the wafer supply as DDR5 to produce a given number of bits in the same technology node."
I wonder if this is also affecting R&D on GDDR, and we'll be stuck with 2GB chips max for a third GPU generation.
I do now own the cube of being an annoying coworker
currently it got lubed browns in there. Need to put my blue clickies in tho
unless you clean it, the laptop is irrelevant. Positioning looks clean from the top, nice job 
Do you really have the whole dam setup "just in case" you need to replace chips on your laptop? That shi is expensive too. Impressed
Ive been amassing tools over time for various jobs also i own a business now
The repair failed tho
My air gun sucks ass and on top of that I dont have a fancy nozzle to compensate so I didnt get even heating and the chips didnt fully seat
When I attempted to reflow I saw some balls come out from under and well I dont have rebaing equipment so sucks to be me
damn that's actually sad
time to manually put every ball in place by hand 💀
wondering if someone ever did that already, sounds like a nice challenge for a weekend
nice, gl with that!
https://youtu.be/Jow-D4HdXCc?si=AMWn1VuGyZ5MtlKb looks doable but anyway requires some ballllz

but then you can resell it as a handmade artisinal piece
you can also integrate it into a handmade laptop to then place it in a museum
well, I hope intel's next gen of gpu's are really good. it's really looking like team green is going to pull out
Intel recently made some videos with GN which were cool, but I'm not getting my hopes back up.
It seems like all the positive Arc rumors turn out to be BS.
I think, ofc I'm guessing that nivida will launch a 5000 series. but that might be it
I think they'd spin it off over exiting altogether. One way or the other, someone would probably be interested in continuing their consumer GPU business.
I've seen previous discussions about Intel taking over Nvidia's GPU business as an instant jumpstart, but if anything I can see that going the other way, and some new incarnation of Nvidia's consumer graphics division is the senior in that CPU/GPU arrangement.
NVidia leaving the GPU industry would be a good thing honestly
needing a gpu in a current yeah? both intel and amd have integrated, they should all quit making useless crap 🥱
to be fair if nvidia didnt exist I wouldn't be able to buy a gpu which barely works on linux and only if you roll back the drivers to a year old version
interesting to see if HBM will come back to consumer if they can't get enough GDDR
There is no chance of that happening in the immediate future. All HBM goes straight to enterprise, and capacity shifted to HBM might actually affect other sorts of memory negatively.
"The ramp of HBM production will constrain supply growth in non-HBM products," Mehrotra said. "Industrywide, HBM3E consumes approximately three times the wafer supply as DDR5 to produce a given number of bits in the same technology node."
AMD has hinted over and over again that they might be just as terrible as Intel in a dominant position. Less competition is bad.
Or maybe you think their bad day one pricing (CPUs and GPUs!) will be better when the competition doesn't show up at all?
Flamethrower can eat chargers with one mag to the face if I aim and be skilled enough
You do know AMD has been contributing to the linux kernel as well as making open source drivers for their GPU's right
Granted, HDMI wont properly work bc the HDMI people suck
yes but you're missing the point. I mean I DO have an nvidia gpu and it sucks on linux
oh yeah i may be stupid
silly
that's why i went back to windows, because having a pc with microsoft edge integrated into the very heart of your OS is still better than seeing a black screen instead of your desktop
and no up-to-date driver would work with my DE
How much mission time does it take for you to get that tank back tho (via resupply/backpack or looting ammo)?
You get two expendables every minute for every helldiver that takes the stratagem.
is this a 3D Rorschach test wtf
Can anyone help me slow the fans on my laptop so they aren’t maxed out when im not even doing anything? I have an asus zephyrus g14 2022
does asus have a preinstalled software for it?
what did you try exactly
Adjusting the fan curve, setting it to silent.
also have you made sure that the laptop itself isn't doing work when you think you're doing nothing?
windows search indexing likes to go "oh you've been inactive for a while guess you don't need the CPU brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
Windows isnt doing anything
This is fucking annoying. Nothing should be causing them to max out
no usage of any resource is showing up in task manager?
Nope and it seems to have stopped. For now
leave task manager open in the performance tab and just don't interact with it for a bit, see what happens
Clean the laptop, dust clogging the heatsinks leads to higher temps and therefore higher rpm
Its actually quite clean
bad thermal paste then
anybody ever seen this before with window regions locked out?
surely it's not because I am using powershell, lol
thats how I chat with my private GPT 😛
btw, that window is not even on that monitor at the mo
neither is vivaldi
hellow everyone
if I wanted to submit just the Docs.json by itself it would cost almost 10 dollars for just the one request, but the context window would need to be almost 1 million tokens, and this model only supports 128k tokens
I am aware that a 1 million token model is going to be released soon, however that is still cutting it close when including the fine tuned instructions and examples for what to generate using the data
it also crashed the website I use for using the AI model lol
using the data.json from greeny's repository comes to just over 175K tokens which is much more doable with the model I already have access too but still larger than the 128K context window
somehow that also crashes the website lol
About to have a dedicated circuit for my server... and oh it'll even be grounded... amazing!
Whoever did the remodeling on this house and replaced this panel.. I might try to talk to an attorney about it.. because this is not acceptable
rented or do you own it?
And if you bought it, depending on how long you can probably save yourself that call
Bugs I'm a common user of flamethrower and melting chargers with it. And otherwise I'm running recoilless for bots
I want to ask in here if my prices are fair is anyone interested
Own.
It was remodeled not sure by who or when. That kind of work is not legal at all.
Our code book has a thou shall not for that kind of shit somewhere.
Hear me out tho: a single expendable can oneshot a charger if aimed properly
So they remodeled it, replaced the panel and did that.. and several others, because that's not the only wires I've seen that are taped together
uhhh
it doesn't have to be the perfectly clean & organized stuff you see people post in oddlysatisfying, but my god slightly above "drunk russian" is required
and is that 20 gauge wire on the right side?
looks narrow as hell
might just be me tho, i got spoiled with 14 gauge everywhere
Why are there flies on the bare copper
Why does the bare copper look like pasta/Spätzle?
me after i said i wouldn't eat copper wires 😋
?
dident know fans had a eject button good to know
it had to be done for the sake of science
yup
USB fan hub be like
might be detecting the usb-c conection on the fan hub and then listing the first fan
or it needs drivers 😂
well it still works whitout them so 10/10 would defedently eject again
The more I look, the more I am like "huh, what is this?"
Also 😒
That's not a description, it's just repeating the name.
Device manager is a mess holy hell.
It has so many software components listed too. Those aren't devices ....
hwinfo got every cpu core listed for me as a device
me and the boys on a friday night
Oh absolutely. But I can't aim that fast often. So I use the flamethrower and just torch him till he melts
Plus flame thrower allows me to still make an area of effect wile the EATS is not as good for that
And bugs for me and my playstyle
Area of effect is everything for me
can you eject one?
pfft
for eject I'd need a path and the cpu ain't has one sadly
would be funny if I'd hear just a thunk from my motherboard forcefully trying to eject the cpu against the cooler
I see a fly in it! 😮
make that 2!
is there a way to bulk uninstall windows apps?
go to Start > Settings > System > Recovery. Next to Reset this PC , select Reset PC.
that would reset your PC
and engines
that's where you learn how to back shit up
yeah
I always forget something ... I should make a list
ubisoft is forcing me to sign in and update before I can uninstall an app
feckers
I am so happy that I don't have to fight around with that shit anymore. I fight around with other shit now
installing fan control software lmao
I tried that once
Best part about Ubisoft is downloading one of their games through steam, just to have to download their stupid ass app manager to play it
totally gave up ... couldn't even identify my fans in the app
YoU nEvEr hAvE tO rEsTaRt LiNuX is a fucking lie btw
I mean firefox came preinstalled on my distro lmao
~sudo apt get opera-gx
I have zero idea if that's right XD
apt install
I was close!
yey, made some space
now I can be lazy with game installs again, lol
2 of those drives where read earlier
I use Vivaldi
cannot help but love Chromium again ... absolutely love the browser
You gotta love Opera GX's built in ad blocker that beat every other ad blocker to the punch of stopping youtube's anti-adblock policy
like pressing F2 then searching for commands cos I can never remember where they are in the menus or what their keyboard shortcuts are, lol
it's so fully featured I barely need any plugins
Admittedly, the f12 button being replaced by ctrl+l for Dev console always gets me
this thing?
or whatever it is
ye that
f12 got nuked into the Panic Button
I mostly use it for the network thingy
I used to use it to learn shit from other sites
candy for searching html too
but rare that I need it
are there any good apps for cleaning a system? I have removed lots of games and trying to avoid re installing winwoes
Only one I can think of is WinDirStat
will check it out
but that's more of a way to look at what's using your storage
thanks m8!
It itself doesn't delete/remove files
ah
Lemmie see if I can find a screenshot of it
Nvm about the router, got scammed lmao.
The initial contract I got had the huawei AX3 router(wifi6), but the conract I signed when the IT technician was here had the Nokia Beacon 1.1(wifi5). Ofc I saw the device, but honestly I didn't check a thing and wasn't functioning properly ig.
Also didn't save the old contract and it's gone from their website.
you can still cancel, right?
I have another router I'll use anyways since I need 2 and have it sitting around.
Just found these in my screenshots xD
or you use Firefox which isn't built based on a Google-owned engine - and also isn't chinese spyware
Hey I do still have WinDirStat on here!
alr gimmie a few @midnight osprey and I'll get you a screenshot of WinDirStat
Ye
And if you click a file/folder in the list it'll have a white outline showing what square/squares it is
I approve of the shiny colours 😄
I believe you can change the lighting too

you have to search HARD to get to the bottom of things
I mean either way there's already my shiz going there and one more, really isn't all that bad
I gave into cookies recently
I no longer give a fuck about related ads, lol
we used to have ad spam ... now we have, are you ok with cookies spam
nah opera gx is just rgb coloured spyware, and after their main company was doing hidden predatory loans with like 200% interest for poor people I'd just keep away from opera as a whole
Just not sure which one I'll make the main one.
Wifi6 router is all around better, so better cpu, ram and shit, which would make it better suited the primary router.
But the primary won't really get used for wireless connections while the secondary will.
people say "I don't need privacy, I have nothing to hide" but close the door when going to the toilet
fuck all the predators
many hundreds of years ago, charging even a tiny amount of interest was considered predatory
Wait- WinDirStat may actually be able to delete files xD
they called it Usery
WAIT I LIED
The apps would claim to offer maximum annual percentage rate (APR) of 33 percent or less, but the actual rates were much higher, climbing to 438 percent in the case of OPesa.
438% LMAO
😮
so yeah get away from opera
Actually I'm not sure the router I have sitting around is wifi6, don't have it at home.
omg, my dog is so smelly today ... might have to run out of my office for a while
Ah yes, a modest like 40% of my disk space dedicated to CoD, Starcraft, Hearthstone, and WoW
heh
I believe it's the Asus RT-AC88U
I had about 100 steam installs earlier
I have an image of your router
In that case, that for primary if possible
I prefer wired
Thank you blizzard, for never uninstalling WoW when I moved you to my SSD
sucking back 100 gigs from my D: drive
thats a lot for an old game
Why is my Hiberfil 25 gigs
I'm like good
idk the last time I actually used Hibernation
hibernates @viral wyvern
Well shi- Hibernates
cleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean
Pop!_os
I wanna be able to game without breaking my head
Switched to it from windows mid January
Not just this, but I'm fairly certain I've never had Hibernation on
I never realized gaming could be good quality away from windows
Iirc windows creates it even if you disable hibernation in the registry
Its usable. Today I installed warframe and only had to enable proton in steam and it ran without issue like it was natively supported
nice, what about GPU support?
aaaaah
I have a 2080s in a lappy
way underpowered compared to desktop but it could make a decent PC for linux I am sure
prolly lose the tweaks for the laptop though
I hardly ever use sleep anyways
Like once or twice a day when I go do my Duolingo stuff
I do recommend however enabling automatic sleep if you're away too long
your powerbill will thank you
That's what it is... You know, saying that makes me rethink myself
You know what, time to make a task scheduler task to auto delete that. Cause why not
absolutel;y ... I have 3 monitors, and sleep after just 5 mins
well, turn the monitors off
doritos?
idk it looks something like this
I've seen it on a million boards surely one of you guys has seen it too
I need one for a visual reference
mine is currently covered my a CPU cooler 😄
🤔
I didn't even know this was possible.
shenanigans!
Ubisoft shouldn't be able to block uninstalling.
Sure you're not confusing it with something?
I swear to god this chip exists
Solution. Go to folder. Left click. Press Delete key
@midnight osprey you could use revo uninstaller next time.
How old?
Intel's old PCH's and southbridges look kinda like it but they have 3-4 cut corners instead of just 1
It also removes left overs it find etc.
Oldish? I know its a gray chip not a black chip
How the fuck
And the pin 1 indicator is usually a depression rather than a white dot but that might vary / not be true
do you fuck that up
I am almost certain those IHS's are swapped
Intel has the normal looking ones, AMD have the funky ones
Depends on how new the CPU's are
hmm... I guess...
Welcome to tech chat Fireball 😂
Oh gee thanks, nice to know I can't delete that...
nuke it with powershell (I am not responsible for bricking OS)
xD, I would like to know what is using it before I nuke it
I have a hunch.
Judging by the filename it's probably your RAM state from a previous hibernation
we need less fire based users in here tbh
Probably just whatever writes the file is what's using it
That would likely be a system process if i'm correct
@winged valley Oh you meant just the IHS, not the PCB. Like this:
YES KINDA LIKE THAT
I think the chip has a composite casing though not a metal one
disabling hibernate mode on your PC will allow you to delete that file and reclaim valuable disk space.
knew it
And yes, you are right. It seems it saves the RAM data in that file so it can quickly get out of hibernation again by just loading the needed data bback into the RAM.
It's sleep, but onto your hard drive instead of Ram
That's what intel calls a vent hole
Hmm, I wonder if it's encrypted at all or if its straight up just a dump of RAM strings
that's what I call my small private discord server
I think it's to save power. So RAM is sleeping during hybernation (I assume).
Yeah the chip I'm thinking of isn't a CPU
It's some other component
That would be hilariously stupid, even for microsoft to do
You could copy/paste file. Rename it and try to open it / read it.
Hibernation is a full shutdown with a flag set in either the BCD or in windows to reference that file and fill RAM with its info rather than perform a clean boot
Full shutdown? 🤔
Pretty sure
I assume this can't be. Else Hibernation = Full shutdown.
Also hibernation still consumes more power than full shutdown
But I think you could pull the plug
I call bs
It does?
What part is BS?
Hibernation, I think so?
Last time I checked 25.5 gigs is not close to 64 gigs
It probably just dumps the used address space
yeah prob
I don't fully trust info from random tech sites
Oh, you are right Dregen.
Thing is that isn't a random tech site
3 edits
Microsoft docs
Ok, let me edit it to original then 😂
Voila. The original typo is back for you 😗
4 edits and not the original
Probably some change made with Win11
probably now does only allocate for the used ram
I once followed an Asus youtube guide (their official channel) and it bricked my mobo when trying to flash it because they missed a crucial step of renaming a file
The fact that the update program is capable of bricking because the filename wasn't found is uh
Lawsuit worthy design
Bah, at least try customer support first
Oh interesting, even legacy bios handles hibernation differently than UEFI.
ofc
alr
I didn't bother reaching out as I was tempted to upgrade anyways
UEFI will bypass post and go straight to bootloader 😄 (if it noticed Hibernation)
if you still have the mobo and its still bricked
get a CH341A Green (or if you get a black be aware you have to mod it) and manually flash the BIN/ROM file to the chip
in a moment of insanity I threw my old tech in the bin
ironically, that would have been the first time I needed old tech
You just upset so many people in one message
LOLOL
That seems like a good way to fuck up a system
I have an ADHD mind ... 'tis often overwhelmed
you'd be amazed at the amount of money I have wasted in teh past with my fuck it mentality
I have the opposite problem, can't throw away old tech 😒
I have an experiment to do now, what happens if I set the UEFI hibernation flag to true and then swap out various components for versions that are technically functional but don't pass POST
@night girder I just opened chat and it put me way up there, was about to ping you and correct you about hibernate before I scrolled down lol
I tried to give it away first, lol
dont ask why pregnant man is my top emoji on discord
I never digged into hibernation, so I assumed it was an advanced sleep and thus consumed power.
mine (in this server) is 
Mine is 
because ther is just a lot to be
about
Now I want to know, how much faster is hibernation booting vs full shut down booting.
Typically slower, even though it skips post
booting from S5 is probably faster than whichever one hiber is
bc it has to load a whole file into RAM
Really? So you sacrifice disk space and boot slower?
as opposed to just loading what's needed on the fly
(I have to send it as it's own message now, using a BD plugin that bypa- ahem lets me use any emoji without Nitro)
its so you don't have to close anything
Guys what does it mean when u fall through the map
So convenience. I see.
uhhhhh deaaath... I think
Yes, although it also means that all your startup apps are loaded alongside boot
Or, as Josh (From Let's Game It Out) puts it. Returning to his home
🟣 Femboy nice role
So if you have a ton of really slow startup apps hibernate can save you time
No I am not dead yet and I am not taking any damage
I never encountered a situation like that tbh, but sounds logic for certain use cases I am not aware off.
I try to keep start up apps as lean as possible.
*Personal role, saw it a while back and when I redid my bio added that tidbit in
I have used it in the past if I have very large projects open across multiple apps and don't want to reload it all
Almost got me in trouble with my WoW M+ group once xD
Ooh, yeah I can get that.
My bio, that is
We used to load our projects and grab a coffee and had a 15 minute chit chat 😂
imagine being a femboy
For example there was a project where I was working in Photoshop, fusion360, and vscode simultaneously, with multiple windows/tabs in each on my laptop and I needed to leave them and come back a week later
For a moment I though hibernation could be useful for big servers, with a lot* of stuff to load.
okay mister pastel colour pfp
Nope, can also introduce some potential instability or issues
Welp I've started a war XD
Because of the post skip?
in my defense, gf insisted i have it
handbrake went a lil too crazy
That and because of the potential for read/write errors when writing tens of gigs from mem to disk and then back again
🤢 Wome- (I'm kidding)
drivers are also stored while the actual situation might have changed
One would think the clever ones at Microsoft took this into account 🙄
To make it a robust feature as possible 🙂
They probably did, but the error checking probably only happens when writing to disk
It works well enough that I really don't have many issues with it
Ever had one of your projects corrupted or anything?
Love it when a support fixes itself
At first I was looking at that going "What is leaning on that?" Then I realized it's a 3d print
haha, same
Wait until I have resin and a vacuum chamber. I can print molds
Printing dice is also an option, but they won't be a pretty as I would want them to
Yeah, I wouldn't use them personally, but for science.
Just normal S2/S3 sleep has way more problems usually
From reddit:
then you roll em and realise it's still light plastic in the end
I've been stuck in automation hell for weeks. It started with Vectorio (A small indie game I found on steam, was quite fun), moved onto Factorio
they do look alright though
I don't know anything about 3D printing, but isn't there a "heavier" material you can use to print with?
You seen that Amethyst dice someone made a vid about?
Titaniu-
you usually either kill your nozzle or have fumes to deal with
I see.
Don't think I've seen that. Not really that into dice.
In this Video I craft a beautiful D20 from amethyst. I use a technique to "frost" the edges of the facets. This scatters light and wonderfully highlights all the facets.
I have wanted to work with a piece of amethyst like this for some time. And it was as much fun as I hoped for.

I'd love to get into making like real gems into dice but I really have enough hyperfixations atm
and also limited funds
fuck funds, lol
buy less games 😛
I am overweight so I can fast for long periods 😄
it's not the games...
sounds like a sponsor
Like this segue, to our sponsor!
Pulseway-
(I watch WAY too much LTT)
I want Tungsten dice
more the network hardware, 3d printer, more hardware shit, DnD etc
wait what
was it the big text or the word?
lemme see
Wolframwürfel
not the text
remember the dude that attacked him ... I unsubbed from anyone related to that, lol
uhhh
my loyalty is to Linus!
yup, big words bad
young un taking a stab at the king
Huh... (Not gonna bypass the filter by showing what I said, which was just test)
WOLFRAMWÜRFEL!
last I checked that one was like 400$
regular d20 size would suffice
That Die was probably like 10 lbs wasn't it
I think second densest non-radioactive element after Osmium
maybe even including radioactive stuff
trying to finance my osmium die. Please donate to my go-fund-me
also great thermal properties, melting point at 3400 degrees Celsius(!)
I was thinking to myself "I thought Tungsten was the densest element..." then I remembered it was the highest melting point*
*Of the metallic elements
at that temperature, iron is already a gas
sublimates you and your iron
nope, all elements. Carbon doesn't melt at atmospheric pressure, it sublimates
nope. pretty dense but not the most dense. Similar to gold
platinum and iridium are two names I recognize that are above it
now a d20 from iridium would be great
"Hey thank you for inviting me to the DnD game" smashes through your desk with my dice
so it's osmonium > iridium for density
using a X-ray crystallography
What other source do you have?
Just curious now... 🙂
That doesn't measure density though. Like: 22.59 g/cm3.
I eyeball it
Ah, very scientific!
I just wondered if there were other tools of measureing density that give different values
Love the reaction when it drops through... 😁
I mean tbf you could probably say that the iron at the core in the earth is the densest material on Earth
the densest material is my moms head
just read the fucking popup before clicking it away and complain
but that's IN earth, not ON earth
some random list from a source I didn't recognize
www.thoughtco.com/elements-listed-by-density-606528
it's called "measurement inaccuracy"
some calculate volume by making a specific sized chunk of the material, others measure it by how much water it displaces
maybe someone else made a 3D scan of a given chunk and let a computer calculate internal volume
I hold both cubes in my hand and check if they're the same size and then I weight them
How have I not heard anything about this until now?
cuz it's a fucking ad for a show & not a product
none of the publishers have any integrity about making that clear
Direct quote from the verge
Most confusing thing ever
Of course, all of this is largely moot anyways because you can’t actually buy it. The headset isn’t available in any store or online. It’s not clear how much, if anything, it costs. It just sort of shows up for some people, and how it arrives and who it’s sent to is largely a mystery. It’s like the most elaborate soft launch of all time. If the software and availability kinks ever get worked out, though, the headset could end up being a defining moment in consumer technology — the kind of thing that could actually change the world.
yea, i was looking for specs & pricing & instantly noticed all that missing
I'm pretty sure it's just a big inside joke but very confusing for everyone who isn't in on it
I am not wearing that thing on my head.
What the hell is that even? Glass underwear?
It is a humor piece about a show but does not make that clear in any way
Satire?
promo bullshit
Supposedly not paid tho
so the author's a moron on top of that
don't let the mod see that, I don't think they like that word 😛
i think lending out your name for free while destroying personal credibility qualifies
Yeah, I initially thought it was a reference to the three body generic problem in physics but not as far as I can tell
Just a big inside joke about. A show based on a book
i thought it might have been an actual product
For real?
for about the first 10 seconds
And you are right. They write a whole article and end it off with that 😂
I did too
"Btw, everthing we just said, doesn't really matter" 👍
Never once in the article do they mention that it has anything to do with the show though
It has a netflix trailer? 🤷♂️
yea, that's bad even for the verge
Maybe it's written by AI?
stopped reading the verge a long time ago
still liable for dogshit journalistic practices
for sure 😂
post stuff kinda late and just regurgitate what has already been said elsewhere on sites I follow
oh my first move was to check other sites 🤣
I try to avoid the verge too.
and pcgamer
I like wccftech and arstechnica
what now?!
yea i like ars
🤣
They don’t do like “gamer pc news” but that’s what wccftech is for
yup
ars for general tech news
Name alone says I should avoid 
no, it's legit.
I’m aware
Phew.
But tweakers is slang for like crack head or meth head here
ooh right, sorry forgot that
I don’t know but it’s kinda funny
I think they mean it more like "tinkering" or "adjusting slightly" I guess?
sadly not the first definition that comes to mind for english speakers 🤣 but yea, it works
We love native English speakers
The Netherlands own the website, not us 🤣
sounds like some kind of wholesome newspaper about your local drug dealer
The sad part about all this, it's like 100% the best tech website we have. It's really good.
It has pricewatch stuff and everything. Good sources and good news.
do they have an english version?
Sadly not 😦
is it dutch?
Yeah, but it's a solid website.
A lot of times, they link to the source(s), and those are mostly in english
Did you know whatsapp wants to integrate AI in the search?
It's called the Meta AI-assistent
Who hasn’t integrated ai
whatsapp? 
I can agree with that
Of most things actually 
it has to have some good advantages and arguments to put it in.
it’s just a chat bot with internet access for most usecasss
google's results have been a special degree of shit lately
I haven’t used google in like 18 months
is it worse then 18 months ago ?
definitely
occasionally a miracle happens & it lands on or near what you're after
I use a mix of my own SE or brave or ddg
not a fan of brave
better than ddg and google even with the crypto bs in the browser
Yea
But how does google search engine have anything to do with crypto?
I use it solely because I hate chromium
It doesn’t
Ok, so you still use the engine?
The search engine is still pretty legit, the browser not.
oh yea i migrated away from chrome when the forced youtube ads showed up
sounds horrible
was mainly on chrome for like 10 years until that shit showed up
only really used firefox and safari. Tested others but I didn't like them.
and I try to prevent adds and tracking.
yea same
I disabled cookies on my gaming PC.
then google basically turned chrome into spyware to check to see if you have adblockers/antitracking installed & would bypass it
I can add a few websites to a whitelist, so they can keep cookies.
Google is slowly trying to crack down on adblockers.
🤑
manifest v2 will get blocked in june 😄
I did read somewhere that YT isn't doing so great financial. But I cannot remember where.
if my eyes are that valuable to them, they're free to send me a check
How can you be happy about that?
watching chromium users cry about it after I'm trying to get then to switch over to firefox for years now will be like cake to my sunday coffee
brave also used chromium 
yea
did I stutter?
everything but Firefox and its forks and safari is chromium
Oh work will be so fun when all the tickets come in because of ads
Dunno if we still deploy edge with adblock
luckily there are outside browser solutions to block ads
I got a different one, paid for it, but works for 10 years or more now.
And no problem with ads. It filters out stuff before it get's to browser.
anyway, I am off to bed 👋
rate the service charge list
Actually tho, I would like feedback from other procificent people before prices are live
Bro is new Louis Rossmann
Gotta repair a vibrator then you’re rossmann
Are all of the thousands of repair shop owners just louis rossmann now
I don't own a vibrator and I'm not fixing someone else's
Yea
😴
Edge is chromium too now
Happened before they rolled out the AI stuff even
New edge was always chrome
well anyways are the prices reasonable
I’d say so
🌑 🚶♂️ 🔫 🧎♂️
lets goooo
hope you get some business
Still working on setting web stuff up but almost done
No storefront so for now its completely local
If I get a certain amount of business I'll buy into UPS's "real street address" program and take mailins
I now have a DJI AIR 3
Heh heh, I've still got it. Started a new file last night, and I'm just out and about. When I get back I'll have enough junk to easily push into tier 3 and 4.
Let’s see the spaghetti
i thought that these were repairs you were being charged for and was very confused for a sec lmao
I built a 16 smelter array that's pretty nice. But the hasty nonsense I threw down to automate rotors and RIPs from it is going to be dismantled the moment I get home.
It's built to eventually scale up to two lines of 480 ingots from 2 pure nodes.
I gave this to gf as a reference for the kind of logo I want how bad is the idea
I'd sue if I had to pay that much on one repair bill lmao
Also some of my charges overlap each other depending on context so it'd be impossible to put all of them on one bill
Need to disable Hibernation first with command line command.
powercfg and some options I cannot be arsed to check right now.
That's... A little much. Also try to contain everything in one space. The screwdriver is a bit out of it
Quick sketch up as an example
Still gotta do some sanding but this went really well
Really like how the light interacts with it
Why does the angel not hold a perfect icosahedron/d20?
a icosehedron???
oh one of these wacko shapes
gonna need to level that up to a rhombicosidodecahedron
polyhedron
Spent a few hours untangling and sorting my cables from the CableBox™️. This feels so good
We called our cable box The Beast, for cables entered it and never returned
Before we got rid of it, that is
Before, pulling on any cable would give you the entire content of the box.
Roughly the experience of The Beast
If you got lucky you could find the two in box HDMI cables and pull those out pretty easily
Ugh, it's probably time for the fall cleaning of cables.
Thing is: once you get rid of it, you need a cable that you know you had in there but now no longer have
No longer usable as fair dice
I'm keeping my VGA
ok i've got a fun one for y'all
monitor on a displayport
if i run the brightness all the way up to 100%, it'll flicker off for a couple seconds, be fine for like 5m. doesn't do it at 90% or lower

This shit stores the login info in the url, how stupid is that?
Very
Just means the communication is encrypted.
aka the request body
queryparams are not.
Because they're used to do "logic"
Usually done for search and whatnot.
e.g
mydomain.com/endpoint?search=foobar
Fucking crazy
Massive red flag for sure.
It's wild I can just copy the link to get into my acc
I sent that link to my friend, thought it just contained the game ID
And then he was disappointed cuz he wanted to play on his own account
but ..... you used zipties
yes?
which means you gotta clip that off to use it 😄
the cables I regulary use are stored elsewhere
those are like VGA, USB-C to Mini USB 3 and that kinda shit
(and like 5 million usb a to c)
right next to my 3d printer
Created a throwaway account, didnt see anything wrong in the url, but maybe they fucked up some links
I don't understand if the URL is somehow encrypted then?
urls cant be encrypted ... 😦
I love them too, but they're suboptimal. I went through like 100+ zipties
oh geez 😄
I think the data is. Url and header are sent in clear text
urls also end up in weblogs as plaintext, so very bad to put login info (even emails) in the url
But the payload.. page data and stuff is encrypted
yup
You have a screenshot on the url? just blur out the sensitive parts (if any). as long the ?param=<blurred value>
Join that game and see check the link
I get redirected to login 😄
Well yeah, use your throwaway acc
Assuming you mean this?
s://go.cashygame.com/game/1416c42a-60c9-4ba3-b0ce-898a33.....7675d60bb/waitingroomtutorial
?
I'm not sure which part of it is important, I'd imagine the shit after /1/
When I use that link I can access my game profile and perform actions under my acc
