Better call Saul

[sonic barn]

But Saul is here

He's in my closet

[lean pasture]

does a hp wireless mouse work with a huawei matebook d15 laptop?

[violet hazel]

What do you mean by that

[lean pasture]

it shows me the mouse in settings but its not working

[hearty spear]

is it bluetooth, or use a dongle?

[lean pasture]

whats a dongle

[lean hare]

little thing you plug in your USB port...

[lean pasture]

oh

yes

it has dongle

[lean hare]

is it plugged in?

[lean pasture]

yes

[lean hare]

it should work with any laptop

[lean pasture]

on left side or right side?

[lean hare]

shouldn't matter, unless you have a defective USB port

[hearty spear]

doesn't matter

[lean hare]

Matebook is Windows right?

[lean pasture]

i just got the laptop

yes

[lean hare]

yeah, so it should work just fine

[lean pasture]

it shows me the mouse in the settings but it doesnt work

[lean hare]

not sure what that means tbh... did you turn the mouse on? did you make sure the mouse has batteries or power?

[lean pasture]

ofc

[oak totem]

you could try reinstalling the driver

[lean pasture]

i think the batteries are dead

the red light doesnt turn on

[oak totem]

oh ok try swapping them out for new ones

[lean pasture]

alright

ty

[oak totem]

for sure!

[lucid echo]

[lost nebula]

Hey

Is Lunatic well-known brand or not ?

[lucid echo]

For what product? never heard of it

[lost nebula]

I also never heard of it

I saw a case at amazon

it seems fine but idk anything about that

[lucid echo]

Yeah that's a no-name brand

[silk sail]

Any reason my iphone turned off and wont turn back off?

[molten drift]

Is it charged....

[silk sail]

Yes

It was on the charger all night.

I was on tiktok and it just suddently turned off

hard reset isn't working.

screen is just black

It did feel hot for a moment

[gritty minnow]

Tiktok gather so much data it drains your phone. lel

[oak totem]

i'd try connecting it to a computer to make sure it isn't completely dead

[silk sail]

It didn't show up

also how can tiktok drain it from %100 so fast.

If the phone was just dead i would get the charging indcator but i get nothing.

[oak totem]

if hard reset didn't work, there is no charging indicator after charging for some time, and a computer (or iTunes) isn't recognizing it, there might be a component failure

[void gulch]

bro whats going on in my spam folder

[molten drift]

Pat McAfee and your Ukrainian girl are clearly trying to get into your dms

[pine fractal]

this is tech related, but also not tech related at the same time. but tech related... so not sure where to ask. gonna ask here

color blindness settings, according to my eye doc, and enchroma lol. i'm a strong protan, i see too much green not enough red

in radeon settings, do i need to turn up red? or turn up green? because when i turn up red, things get washed out looking and grey

when i turn up green, red looks rusty orange

or at least what i've throught rusty orange looked like the past 27 years

or should i just use the windows color blind mode? it's literally just a toggle. no sliders with intensity

[night heron]

i also have protanomaly, but not as strong as yours

[pine fractal]

mine is on the severe end

and somehow i made it all through school and into adulthood without realizing i can't see colors properly 😂

[night heron]

my internet went out so i’m back on my phone

but i don’t use any color blind settings

i’ve never seen one that helps me specifically

[oak totem]

windows has color blind filters for different types of color blindness

have you tried the red-green color filter?

[pine fractal]

yellows/greens mix, red/green, red/brown, blue/purple. the only thing that's obvious is when i see something on a black, grey or white background. or like blue and green or blue and yellow

light blue and pink even kind of just become one color when i put them next to each other. can't tell which is which

[night heron]

yah color blind modes change the colors of things entirely instead of just boosting what i’m deficient in

[pine fractal]

if it wasn't for hex codes i'd be terrible at my job (graphic design) 😂

[night heron]

i can still see every color i just don’t see red as vibrantly, i don’t want my whole gui to be different colors

[hearty spear]

Have you seen the "color blind glasses" ? I've got a friend with a pair, and they LOVE those things.

[night heron]

i actually did order enchroma glasses for myself a few years ago

[pine fractal]

what i'm struggling with is that i'm used to red looking a certain way, so when i turn on the colorblind settings, it doesn't look like my red anymore lol. looks different and my brain is like nope that's not red

[night heron]

they brought out the reds in colors that are combination colors, pink was more pink instead of white, orange was more orange instead of yellow

[rocky flint]

Im wondering, Im having someone sending me games to test on discord they want me to download a game via winrar, is this a scam?

[pine fractal]

but it probably is, considering my red is wrong

[warped narwhal]

absolutely

[night heron]

yeah you might as well not use it

unless your display is calibrated youre not seeing the correct colors anyway

[warped narwhal]

it's a quite well known scam too

[rocky flint]

Yeah i downloaded one on my phone but the person said to download on my pc

[hearty spear]

99% Chance it's a virus. 1% Chance it's just bullshit.

[pine fractal]

winrar is just a way to open archives? isn't it? or have times changed

[warped narwhal]

say "do you have a signature"

[pine fractal]

.rar .zip .7z

winrar opens .rar
7-zip .7z

[rocky flint]

Says he wants feedback on the game

[night heron]

why would u download something a random person sent you

[pine fractal]

zip you don't need a program

[rocky flint]

both of them

[hearty spear]

because humans are fucking stupid.

[night heron]

how to get malware or your account stolen as fast as possible

get fucked speed run any%

[rocky flint]

Completely random I thought the first one was legit but now i got a second

[pine fractal]

100% a scam lol

[hearty spear]

jesus christ, you're the reason spammers exist.

[rocky flint]

Ive got the site for both of the people

[warped narwhal]

I'm telling you it's a malware, why are you more hesitant to listen to me than download random apps.

[pine fractal]

could be ransomware, someone's gonna be using your hardware for remote mining, or they're gonna steal a login, or all of them 😂

and have remote access to your photos, webcam etc

[warped narwhal]

it's how it goes

[rocky flint]

I mean I downloaded the first one on my phone, I didnt unzip it and then just deleted the zipped file

[lucid echo]

Never shame anyone for falling for scams. Guy should be proud for speaking up and asking about it. Shame is how these go unreported/uncaught.

[hearty spear]

Go watch this video:
https://youtu.be/DqPPWO7kWu4

[warped narwhal]

tkitch has always been the egotistic asshat

[hearty spear]

probably, yeah.

[warped narwhal]

but I've repeated multiple times saying it's a scam, others have said it's a scam,

yet he/she still doesn't seem to grasp that meaning

[rocky flint]

Yes, Im justy explaining whats its gonna do. I heard you once.

[night heron]

never download or click links from a completely random person on discord that you've never spoken to

[rocky flint]

I had spoken to the first one like years ago.

[night heron]

dont take candy from strangers

[rocky flint]

and the person was on my friends list

[lucid echo]

Sounds like they got the message but are still talking about the experience

[pine fractal]

@rocky flint personally, i wouldn't have clicked the URL unless it was a known URL. like if they sent you a google drive link or MEGA or icloud etc. probably safe to open just the link even if there's a virus hidden in a file. but if it was their own private website they linked to they could have been running a malicious script

and as soon as you click that link it executes

[hearty spear]

But they have Reeses in their van!

[night heron]

they got wifi tho?

[lucid echo]

Those sites can't detect viruses inside compressed files

[hearty spear]

doubly so if the zip is password protected, etc.

[lucid echo]

Possible it was a compromised account

[warped narwhal]

basically there's a scam where they say free nitro or sth then tell you to log in with qr code scan using phone, no way to do it with password. Aftwr scan, other person now on their account releases a script which sends it to everyone in the friends list and oftentimes servers

[pine fractal]

that's why i said even if there was a virus hidden in the archive, google drive, icloud etc are safe links to click. they won't run scripts or auto download a file without asking etc

[warped narwhal]

the "it" can be malware, it can be another qr code scan, etc.

[rocky flint]

Nothing to do with nitro or Qr codes.

[warped narwhal]

nono

the person who sent it to you

must've fallen for one

[rocky flint]

no, They seem to talk properly.

after i asked questions,

[warped narwhal]

so before, the guy was legit?

[pine fractal]

someone's private website "www.notascam.com/downloads/notavirus.rar" could have hidden scripts that are the main payload. not the file lol. or could sneak a download in without you approving it

[rocky flint]

I lost the chat since i deleted the DM

[pine fractal]

and if someone sends a short link, never ever click lol

ever

[warped narwhal]

and gdrive can't scan anything larger than 500mb or sth

100mb? can't remember

[rocky flint]

https://prnt.sc/iS0qmOTauSUU

[warped narwhal]

I'd rather not click on it

[rocky flint]

its a bloody screenshot.

[lucid echo]

prnt.sc is a screenshot site

[rocky flint]

Im trying to find the first DM.

Im just curious whats gonna happen since for the first one, I clicked and downloaded and it made me download a file. But I didnt open the fikle.. This was done on phone when i was on vacation.

[desert dagger]

its a scam

don run it.

[rocky flint]

I didnt run it cause it looked weird. i just downloaded the file cause they wanted me to test the game on PC but i did it on the phone, Seen the file called S hizu.zip and then just deleted it on my files on my phone

[lucid echo]

Delete it

[rocky flint]

when the site was called dragonjumpers.beta.whateverr

Yes I deleted it as soon as i downloaded it.

I justy wanted to see the file.

[lucid echo]

Damn I've never seen such an elaborate githubio virus site lmao

If it weren't for the super vague descriptions and very poor english, I'd almost think this was legit

[rocky flint]

This was the first site That sent to me on a different person. I lost the DM but I can only remember the site. I dowloaded the file from there on this screenshot https://prnt.sc/Sk-nNhroA3BC

[lucid echo]

sketch

Also, don't use prnt.sc

[rocky flint]

The person who sent me the first one asked if i could download it and test it to give feedback vsince she wanted a review for a friends birthday.

I had her on a friends list so I was curious.

[lucid echo]

Likely they fell for it from another message and got their account hacked

[rocky flint]

This person is now messaging me wierd shit saying Have you played this yet?

Give me ID so i can give you VIP

lmao

[night heron]

block them

[rocky flint]

nahhh

Im gonna get them to screenshare

gotta have them block me

[lucid echo]

This type of behavior usually makes you a bigger target

[night heron]

yeah hes basically poking the snake with a stick

[rocky flint]

do I have to worry that I downloaded the file on my phone?

[small bolt]

Probably not unless you actually ran it, if you deleted it and your phone is up to date in terms of security you should be fine. Can always factory reset if you wanna be careful though.

[lucid echo]

It’ll be fine, they’re targeting windows machines

Just delete it

[upbeat ridge]

Don’t mind me stealing some spark juice from the train⚡️⚡️

[limpid fern]

is that a 4 port usbc brick?

[upbeat ridge]

It is, all 100W USB C ports

[limpid fern]

brand, model, price?

[upbeat ridge]

Can’t use all ports at once on this plug, but still

[upbeat ridge]

Idk, idk, and a lot😂

It’s my dad’s and I’m borrowing it for my fake interrailing trip

[limpid fern]

i think its 100w total

[upbeat ridge]

Nope

[gilded quest]

dam euro trains have outlets?

[limpid fern]

400w that small?

[gilded quest]

trains here just have homeless dudes

[upbeat ridge]

300 watts total, but each port individually has 100W capability

[upbeat ridge]

GaN charger

[limpid fern]

ohh

so very expensive

[upbeat ridge]

Yass, recent development, and not much in my country due to 1.5kV not being much when you also have to power the trains themselves off of it, but it’s rolling out

[upbeat ridge]

Yeah something like that, he also has a powerbank that has 2x 100W and 2x 60W USB C

It’s 99Wh

Well no

The just under the airplane limit much of battery

[limpid fern]

99wh

[upbeat ridge]

That one

[limpid fern]

not 99k

[upbeat ridge]

Yeah that would be a lot

[thin moat]

I'm building a pc; where can I check what component is bottlenecking my build?

[vast mica]

Throw task manager up and then put it under load
Or post specs here and someone could tell you

[thin moat]

Nah it's a build on PC part picker

[vast mica]

Then post specs here and we can tell you

[thin moat]

Before I buy anything I wanna make sure everything I have works to the fullest

Ok

damn, I wish my LRT has this
edit: it seems that this is a long distance train I am going to assume, so yeah a plug does not make sense for an LRT
regardless, I wish I have something like that

[upbeat ridge]

This is a regional train running longer distances lol

[brisk tundra]

I just realized lol

[upbeat ridge]

(It’s running Leipzig to Dresden)

Although the S bahn trains do have plugs as well

[brisk tundra]

sucks that Canada does not have long distance trains 🙃

[upbeat ridge]

(S bahn is basically light rail around cities in Germany)

[brisk tundra]

damn, that's nice

[zenith trail]

just wondering im using my motherboards AI tuner thing and i can set a cpu core ratio, i've set it to 47.5 for testing, 4.75ghz stable on 5800x. is this okay to keep like that?

[austere rampart]

this is wild

[primal gorge]

Just got mah LTT merch!!

[zenith trail]

im really considering getting the new warranty shirt

[thin moat]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XHsjv3

lmk if theres any bottlenecking

[upbeat ridge]

Gee I wonder why

[slender minnow]

for future proof, should i get a 6600xt or 3060 for a 1440p monitor guys?

[hearty spear]

Those are already kinda iffy for 1440 on heavy modern AAA Games.

I'd go higher.

For example: On High, Cyberpunk won't maintain 60fps at 1440 on a 3060

[slender minnow]

i only play genshin warzone valorant and maybe the new spiderman game

[hearty spear]

so while cyberpunk is a bit of an outlier today? In a year it won't be.

[hearty spear]

then wtf do you need to futureproof for?

[slender minnow]

cyberpunk is kinda bad tbh

[hearty spear]

in your opinion

[slender minnow]

but should i save more a 3060ti instead?

[hearty spear]

if you only play the games you mentioned? It won't matter much.

But if you're trying to use the word "futureproof" more power always helps for that.

[stoic beacon]

3060ti will give you about a 15% boost in framerate

New Spiderman game might need it

The others won't at all.

[lucid echo]

Yeah never heard of anything like this before. Also using SATA cables as radio antennae... fucking bonkers

[zinc osprey]

Guys

Can someone help me

My laptop screen isnt working and capslock is blinking

Its hp

[stoic beacon]

#tech-support

[zinc osprey]

Ok

[slender minnow]

so which one should i choose? a 6600xt or 3060?

[slender minnow]

yah i also think that because it has 12gb vram meanwhile 6600xt has only 8gb

[stoic beacon]

Nvenc encoders as well, and more software/games play nicely with it than 6600xt.

[ionic abyss]

if I found d a hp 3080 10gb card listed for $350 on a trusted site is it a good buy

new condition

[slender minnow]

btw thanks for u help

[hearty spear]

too good to be true

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, np

[austere rampart]

Yeah didn't even think that was possible

[ionic abyss]

lol if it was needed I'd resell it

was new*

[hearty spear]

"If it sounds too good to be true, it probalby is"

[ionic abyss]

I got my omen 45l with a 3080 and 12700k so i need no card just saw the listing

[hearty spear]

350$ is half the price of a really good priced 3080.
You're not getting a 3080 for 350.

[ionic abyss]

love the omen 45l

[slender minnow]

i hope i can get a more powerful card too, but my budget is limited sadly

[stoic beacon]

If your current setup is working fine, there's no reason to upgrade at all right now, especially if you're just going to upgrade again a bit later. If your current PC is pretty good for what you need, save up for the 4000 series or something, and truly futureproof.

[slender minnow]

also my psu is only 650w

[slender minnow]

i still use an rx580 4gb and a 1440p monitor lol

[stoic beacon]

I see people do that all the time with phones, they have a phone that's working fine, then they upgrade it every year and face issues, budget problems, and are never satisfied...if it's working, you don't need to upgrade.

Oh

That's different then lol

[full fossil]

I am trying to find LMG's business contacts, cannot find any. Anyone knows where to look?

If by chance, any LMG members does read the above, they may also contact me by DM with details.

[stoic beacon]

Another option is to get a used card that can run what you want now, and then when a game comes out that you can't run, buy the latest and greatest

[slender minnow]

that would be great but i would still prefer new

nice, mine is running hot af

like 80c for 3000rpm and it is really loud

[upbeat ridge]

Pretty view

Greetings from Dresden

[full fossil]

Sent an email there a few weeks back. Figured it was a more general mailbox.

[slender minnow]

also 8gb is much better, as mine gets out of vram mostly any AAA games

[stoic beacon]

Vram is really not that important for games, if it helps your decisions...at least, it's not important beyond a VERY low mark, like 4GB

8GB will handle pretty much every game in existence. The speed matters more.

[molten cosmos]

why does lmg get their videos out soo late

[full fossil]

can someone tell me something that'll dissuade me from spending $20 in fortnite to get goku

[austere rampart]

Memory bus size seems to be more limiting than the VRAM on 20xx and 30xx cards

[stoic beacon]

It's not real, you get no true value out of it, and there are better things to spend your money on? However, if you have $20 in discretionary spending, go for it?

[slender minnow]

it just feel better to get triple the size haha

[stoic beacon]

The sooner you stop relying on random numbers for your purchasing decisions, the sooner you will become tech literate. I had a friend buy earbuds a while back with "4x Nuclear Bass Boost." It was a poor purchase.

It's a free game, you want to spend $20 on useless pixels to look cool in a battle royal game

[austere rampart]

Two of my friends who never bought Fortnite before: "Who knew after everything goku with a rifle might pull me in"

[stoic beacon]

To be fair, they did have a lot of bass. It just sounded like crap.

[austere rampart]

never played/bought/etc

[slender minnow]

i would never trust any advertisement like x2 speed or more

[stoic beacon]

But you see a bigger number for vram, and suddenly your pants are too tight...

[full fossil]

for some reason the audio market seems to still be "more bass = good"

after getting into audio production i genuinely cannot stand bassy headphones

[stoic beacon]

I mean, statistically speaking, more people enjoy a disproportionate amount of bass in their music. That's fine, I think there should be a market for bassy headphones. But the bass still needs to actually sound good, even if it's super loud.

[vapid smelt]

skullcandy has entered the chat

[full fossil]

true and i like bass but like everyone's raving about those new skull candy crushers

those things are a muddy mess

[stoic beacon]

I like cheesy, American pizza, even though I know it's not "the best pizza ever" and I wouldn't want pizza purists taking away my greasy, cheesy crap lol

[slender minnow]

thanks for ur help today again, i have things to do now, have a good day

[stoic beacon]

If I have a friend who wants bassy headphones, I help him find good bassy headphones, since the marketing is geared towards profiting off of people who are incapable of doing their own research.

[full fossil]

there is one example where i agree with the masses though. in a car i want all the bass i can get

[molten cosmos]

vomatron

[stoic beacon]

Skullcandy is definitely not a brand I recommend to people, ever though.

Mostly because of build quality alone.

[vapid smelt]

All the Skullcandy headphones I have were free,

They are dedicated for lawn mowing headphones

[stoic beacon]

That's a good way to use them actually. I was going to make a joke about you winning the local e-waste collection competition, but that's actually a good way to reuse.

[austere rampart]

Skullcandy headphones were in all the back to school sale bins

[stoic beacon]

Back to school? That's a weird place for them

I guess if your kid wants some headphones for their morning bus ride, they'd be considered school supplies

[vapid smelt]

These I got for free from school, my high school teacher had a ticket system and you can buy stuff with them

[full fossil]

skullcandy is mid but i will say their old wired earbuds were pretty stellar especially for their price

[stoic beacon]

That's fair, but I hate when people think of the world that way...I wish more people had the self control to save up for actual good products and then keep them for a decent period of time. It sucks that people will spend $50 every year on crappy headphones that get thrown away instead of paying $500 for a pair of headphones that lasts them 10 years.

Same amount of money, less e-waste, better build quality, better sound quality

[vapid smelt]

Apple sells $500 headphones that don't last 2 years

[stoic beacon]

Apple can suck my nuts

[full fossil]

apple as a company is so interesting to me

[stoic beacon]

There are about a thousand reasons to hate them, I wasn't including them in my "premium" line of thinking

[full fossil]

their products are okay but the company itself is so dogsh!t

[night heron]

some of their products are fantastic

[stoic beacon]

Apple is literally the best example I can think of for anyone who is going into marketing. They convinced people to buy subpar products, with subpar support, for a higher price. As a tech company? Horrible. As a PR company? Awful. But as a marketing company? Genius.

[night heron]

to say otherwise is disingenuous

[stoic beacon]

Fantastic with themselves. If the best olympic athlete lived on the moon, he'd be a pretty bad olympic athelete.

[full fossil]

will probably continue using an iphone until jailbreaking doesn't exist

can't see a real value for them without a jailbreak

[night heron]

most powerful phones along with having a more stable and user friendly operating system on said phone

pushing change in the computing space by making an arm processor that’s actually powerful

most efficient ultrabook by a large margin

[stoic beacon]

No, most optimized phones. Again, you are confusing your terminology. Also, you are looking for the phrase" easier to use" not user friendly. User friendly would mean your hardware and software are NOT locked down.

[night heron]

no actually they’re the most powerful

[stoic beacon]

Most efficient ultrabook is true. That is finally a correct statement.

[night heron]

apples cpus shit on qualcomm

[stoic beacon]

No, they are not. They benchmark the best because only Apple optimized software works with it.

[night heron]

you’re coping

[full fossil]

end of the day it's really just preference isn't it?

[night heron]

the single core performance of apples phones is hugely superior

[stoic beacon]

Somewhat, yes. But to have an idiot spam tech facts that are false is pretty annoying to me.

I'm just hoping Discord doesn't have a block list limit @_@

[night heron]

you’re calling me an idiot and blocking me because i said that apple has the most powerful phones

bro doesn’t like factual statements i guess

very emotionally mature discord user

[stoic beacon]

I'm interested to see how they respond to Google calling them out for not accepting RCS messaging. Or if they say anything

[full fossil]

knowing apple

i doubt they'll even acknowledge it

[stoic beacon]

So they aren't opposed to communicating on controversial topics

[austere rampart]

I think the schools are requesting earbuds now for all the online courses and stuff in labs they do

[stoic beacon]

Ah, that's fair, didn't think about that

[thin moat]

yo 3060 12gb vs 3080 10gb for 2x cash

[full fossil]

depends on what you wanna play

but the 3080 is a lot better just so you know

[thin moat]

want a reliable pc for the next couple decades i can tweak

[full fossil]

3080

[austere rampart]

3080 will last longer

[thin moat]

wb 3080 8gb

also any benefit to ti versions

[stoic beacon]

Gaming or Working? Or both?

[vapid smelt]

Get the 12gb model of the 3080

[soft swan]

3070 is also good right?

[full fossil]

vram doesn't matter as much as you think BUT if you want to future proof then i guess you could go with more

[thin moat]

both, i need high computing power for spartan a molecular simulation software

[thin moat]

so much bro

[stoic beacon]

That software definitely uses your CPU, not your GPU lol.

But get the 12GB anyways.

[full fossil]

did u join just to advertise ur nft

[thin moat]

u sure?

[vapid smelt]

Here in the States the 12gb 3080 is often cheaper than the 10gb

[full fossil]

anything simulation related definitely uses a lot more CPU

[stoic beacon]

It's simulation, so yeah, it's CPU.

[austere rampart]

the reliance on the cloud is what turned off Apple for me, along with R2R and etc. No SD card expansion, a slightly better camera (at this point the others have kinda caught up but idk) that you can't even save that many photos to because the storage is so low, unless you pay $1500

[full fossil]

with that said if you want to slack the gpu power a lil bit the 3070 is a good option too

[thin moat]

ima try to get a hookup on highest end intel cpu so hopefully im good. for some reason 3070 doesnt work with my shit

[stoic beacon]

He did say next decade though... 3080 12GB is the way to go, unless he gets a 4000 series

[vapid smelt]

Only one model of the 10gb 3080 is cheaper then the 12gb

[full fossil]

true

[full fossil]

be warned i9s use a lot of power and tend to run pretty hot

[vapid smelt]

i9 for gaming is a joke

[stoic beacon]

He said simulation software

i9 would be good for that

[thin moat]

plan to get water cpu cooler

this looked good https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8jFKHx/corsair-icue-h150i-elite-capellix-75-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-cw-9060048-ww

also more than 650 W?

[vapid smelt]

Both the i7 12700k and i9 12900k have 8 performance cores

[full fossil]

assembling a list on pcpartpicker will help with that

[thin moat]

honestly was gonna see if i could grab this i9-9900K

[full fossil]

it tells you the wattage required for your build

[thin moat]

it says its good, wondering if id need more just in case, also MOBO preferences? like what would a 400 mobo have over a 200~

[vapid smelt]

For a i9 class CPU you would want this https://a.co/d/aYCwzkK

[stoic beacon]

9900k would not be a good pick...there are more powerful i7s and FAR more powerful modern i9s

12900ks for example

Almost three times as powerful as the 9900k.

[zenith trail]

I grabbed a 5800x for $300 a few days back

[slender minnow]

get a 12700 instead

[vapid smelt]

i5 12400f matches the 9900k in multi core on cinebench and destroys it in single core

[austere rampart]

next gen of Ryzen would have to be better wouldn't it?

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, 12700k, and if your heart is set on performance and your budget is unlimited, the 12900ks

[austere rampart]

if your budget is unlimited you might as well buy a Threadripper lol, for simulation software

[thin moat]

i get cheap deals on intel cpus

[sick rune]

buy 128 cores of Epyc

and 3 of those giant samsung monitors

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, then go with the 12700k or 12900ks

[full fossil]

just download more ram /s

[sick rune]

if it's one thing LTT can't show us, it's three of those giant samsung monitors in a multi setup. Such a feature will be impossible ever

[zenith trail]

That alone would cost 10.5k USD

[sick rune]

what, you can't just afford a car right here right now?

[zenith trail]

No

[thin moat]

is the 9900K worst?

[stoic beacon]

9900k is a horrible choice at this point in time, yes.

[slender minnow]

is old already

[thin moat]

ok, windeirng why it was more expesive lOL

[sick rune]

A PC rig with the price tag that looks like an Intel CPU model

[slender minnow]

maybe if u have a z370 or z370 mobo then that would be worth considering

z390*

[stoic beacon]

Price does not equal better. Go to CPU benchmark and look at the pass mark scores.

[night heron]

ipc improvements be like

[vapid smelt]

Nearly 1/4 of the power consumption too

Why not both?

iOS added that and I don’t like it

[lucid echo]

Yes, you can

[finite cloud]

I don’t have an option to do it but I can at least use volume up for burst

Maybe it’s located somewhere else

Linus Tech Tips

[lucid echo]

You talking about this?

[warped narwhal]

ew

HEIC smh

[lucid echo]

What's wrong with it? I'm not too familiar with it

[warped narwhal]

It's an h265 video extension that Apple uses because they hate normal standards

[lucid echo]

So what's wrong with it aside from apple being apple

[warped narwhal]

Precisely because it's apple and androids used to can't open it

[stoic beacon]

Incompatibility lol.

[warped narwhal]

It's fine now mostly

Google photos can open it

Windows can open it with the right app or extension

but the fact that it cause me trouble at one point makes me hate it

[stoic beacon]

The fact that it exists is the real issue. It never needed to be made, and is anti consumer.

[warped narwhal]

Yep

tho Apple was one of the first to adopt it widely

HEIF and HEIC I don't think have any actual differences except for name

and for images only

HEVC for video is standard even for apple

[stoic beacon]

If a company creates a codec, they should be allowed to sell it to people. But to have two identical codecs that are incompatible with different devices is garbage.

[warped narwhal]

well it's compatible now

so it's not really an issue

[finite cloud]

No the feature where if you hold the picture button it takes a video

I wish

[lucid echo]

So there's nothing wrong with it (anymore)?

[warped narwhal]

yes

[lucid echo]

Okay then

[willow patrol]

That was a feature since 15 i think

I’m on 15.5 and it works for me

Both of those were features of iOS 15 at least on Xr and up devices I believe

[lucid echo]

Yeah not sure what @finite cloud is experiencing but it is irregular

[willow patrol]

I think I remember burst photos

I’m not sure what shortcut it was but I remember using it

It was kinda useless

[lucid echo]

There's a setting for using volume-up button

[willow patrol]

Yea I see now lol

[lucid echo]

Really nice for fast scenes like concerts, sports, wild antics

But live photo usually covers all the bases

[willow patrol]

Eh in my experience a video or Live Photo is better as if you take a burst of all fast stuff it always comes out blurry

In each photo

yea

[lucid echo]

With my 12PMax that's not usually the case

[willow patrol]

Hm yea tbh I used to use that on a 7

[lucid echo]

Cameras have improved a little since then

[full fossil]

Where can i post my setup?

like wich chat?

[full fossil]

thanks

[fossil frost]

so it was my sons birthday today, turned 7, and his #1 on his wishlist was a projector for his room... got him a refurbed native 1080p unit with a 2yr warranty... :D... for less than half of what it would cost new. hes been sat in his room with a bunch of movies on a usb drive plugged into it, eating popcorn and sweets for most of the evening 😄

[warped narwhal]

That's pretty epic

[graceful burrow]

I remember night's like that

He'll remember nights like that

[fossil frost]

hes asked to use the money his grandad gave him to buy an amazon fire stick to plug into it, so he can get youtube and netflix on it. so that has been ordered, as well as a ceiling mount for it too. he wants to help me fit it to the ceiling in his room tomorrow 😄

[modern sequoia]

Dose anyone know how to stop people from ip camming you

[graceful burrow]

Damn little man's got a plan and he's executing it well

[fossil frost]

he knows what he wants, and the good thing is, he is very aware of how lucky he is to have gotten a projector as a 7yo

he knows, because he told me about 1000 times today how lucky he thinks he is, and how hes going to tell everyone at school when he goes back to school in 2 weeks 😄

[graceful burrow]

How much did the projector actually cost?

[fossil frost]

£100, same one new was just over £300

[graceful burrow]

Not bad

Esp with a 2 year warranty

[fossil frost]

not bad at all, especially for 1080p native. anything else in that range is 1200x800 or 720p

[modern sequoia]

Who buys a kid a 300$ projector

[fossil frost]

bulb is bright as fuck too, even with just his curtains closed and loads of light still leaking into his room, was still a very good quality bright image

[modern sequoia]

I got a 4K projector that cost me $300 smart projector

[graceful burrow]

If I could tell my kid genuinely wanted something worth 300 bucks I wouldn't even have a second thought about it

[modern sequoia]

lol

[fossil frost]

you wanna know how he knew a projector was a thing? his favourite youtuber replaced the TVs in his house with projectors to have 120" screens... and after watching that video, hes had his heart set on doing the same in his room, been asking for months

[graceful burrow]

[feral rampart]

Hey chat
How are y'all doing today?

Currently in mosquito land

[stoic beacon]

There are far worse things you can buy for your kids than something that you can use to spend time with them.

[stoic beacon]

If the kid is spending 10+ hours alone, accomplishing nothing, failing classes, etc. on the projector, yeah that's a problem. But it sounds like he's about to have some awesome bonding time with his dad.

[fossil frost]

he got "exploding kittens" too :D. played that about 400 times today

[stoic beacon]

Ah, that game is super fun

Have you guys played Poetry for Neanderthals?

[molten drift]

I'm ok working and glad my shoulder is less painful since dislocating and relocating it Sunday

[stoic beacon]

Same producers as Exploding Kittens, super entertaining as well

[modern sequoia]

lol true

[fossil frost]

ill have a look at it

[finite cloud]

Apple changed the burst button to volume up which I didn’t like and now holding the photo button starts recording a video and I can’t change it to not do that

[lucid echo]

Ohhh ok

[hollow zealot]

I was annoyed at traffic, this made my day

[warped narwhal]

I have that game + 2 expansions from the kickstarter

it's a great card game

[fossil frost]

been laughing most of the morning this morning with it, he thinks its hilarious

[warped narwhal]

it's a betrayal game at times though

I've played it with a number of friends before

When you know the next card is an exploding (or imploding with expansion) it's literally every man for himself

[fossil frost]

yeah, the kids got very frustrated when that happened to them, but, gloated like the very sore winners they are, when they did it to me

[warped narwhal]

yep

[thorn dagger]

can someone help me by sending me the dmg files of utm after being mounted?

my mac wont do the mounting process

so google wallet is broken for those who use the galaxy watch 4 and 5 at least if you use a Mastercard as for whatever reason the watches will only let you add a Visa card

[agile jetty]

Mastercard is in my experience.. shitte

[loud acorn]

its basically what all uk banks use now and seemingly thanks to reddit It's what the majority of galaxy watch 4/5 user's want to use with google wallet on the watch

[agile jetty]

Bro imagine using banks
Credit Unions for the win

[manic torrent]

I have literally never experienced a difference

Technically my parents experience, but I have a job so
argued with Mastercard for the fact our CU doesn't carry visa and that I can Legally have a debit card

I was about to say black market but that’s basically crime 😂

[lucid echo]

Why are there no normal crypto bros

Why do they all preach that it’s gonna be the future and change everything

Perhaps because their wealth is dependent on hype and hype alone?

Where have I heard of this structure before - your personal wealth being dependent on convincing others to invest in the same concept, and those people convincing even more people…

If crypto bros just stated what it is - a speculative asset to gamble and make money from - they wouldn’t be as cringe

But instead it’s gonna revolutionize currency and solve inequality

If it was ez there wouldn’t be an entire field of professionals around it

[sonic barn]

I used to pump out essays like it was nothing

[sonic barn]

I made an windows 10 modded for gaming performance

But this is beta

[thorn dagger]

so can any of you help?

[obsidian dome]

Yez

[sonic barn]

Maybe

[thorn dagger]

can you send me utm.dmg after being mounted and send me the files for it

[obsidian dome]

....

[thorn dagger]

i cant do it myself as my mac wont mount it

[sonic barn]

I'm on windows

[obsidian dome]

I need more of devs for my os new

[thorn dagger]

what

[obsidian dome]

My windows 10 modded

[thorn dagger]

do you have hackintosh for it or smth

[obsidian dome]

no

[thorn dagger]

so how would you open it then

[obsidian dome]

By youtube

Btw I need go to sleep 💤

Bye

[thorn dagger]

youtube wdym

[lucid echo]

They’re saying they don’t know what to do and were gonna search YouTube to accomplish a thing they definitely cannot do

[thorn dagger]

you need a mac to do it

[lucid echo]

Yes

[thorn dagger]

and then open it on the mac

and then send me the files after it is opened

[lucid echo]

What is the dmg exactly?

And why won’t your Mac open it?

[thorn dagger]

it isnt mounting things properly

[lucid echo]

Why not

[thorn dagger]

what dmg is called utm

if you search it up you will find it, they are a virtual machine thing for mac

when my mac gets to the mounting stage it crashes

[lucid echo]

I see now, I’ve only used parallels before

[lucid echo]

Funky

[thorn dagger]

paralles is expensive

[lucid echo]

I can get it for you

[thorn dagger]

otherwise i would use it

[lucid echo]

Since it’s a trusted source and not a random file

[thorn dagger]

ty!

yeah thanks

[lucid echo]

Does the App Store version not work?

[thorn dagger]

what utm did is they made it so that the app store version is a donation version and the dmg is the normal free one

[lucid echo]

Odd

How old is your mac that it crashes when mounting a disk image?

[thorn dagger]

idk why they did that

2017 but it is the worst possible version of it

[lucid echo]

I think those are dual core

[thorn dagger]

yeah it says on the page that the only difference is that the mac app store one is a donation with auto update

[lucid echo]

Windows is gonna have a rough time lol

[thorn dagger]

yeah it is duel

well its better than mac a lot of the time

[lucid echo]

That’s a single-core windows installation brother

What are you trying to do on windows?

[thorn dagger]

just use it in general

i perfer windows over mac

[lucid echo]

It's not gonna be a pleasant experience, but it's worth a shot

[thorn dagger]

yeah

[lucid echo]

Why not just use Bootcamp to boot into windows and get bare-metal performance?

[thorn dagger]

bootcamp has same issue as dmg plus i forgot the bios password

[sonic barn]

Bruh

[lucid echo]

Mac has a bios pw? Never heard of that

[sonic barn]

Remove CMOS

[thorn dagger]

yeah it has a crappy bios

[lucid echo]

Clearly you've never owned a mac

[sonic barn]

I doubt it's like Lenovo

[lucid echo]

It is not

[thorn dagger]

could you send me the utm.app please

[sonic barn]

If you remove the CMOS battery it'll reset bios

[lucid echo]

I've been killling time while it uploads to my drive

[sonic barn]

No password after that needed

[thorn dagger]

oh alright

[lucid echo]

Macbooks don't have a cmos battery buddy

[thorn dagger]

if you open it up that voids the warrenty

[sonic barn]

They don't have a bios chip?

[thorn dagger]

and trust me i need the warrenty cuz its so trash and breaking all the time

[sonic barn]

How do they boot up

[lucid echo]

This is not true, but even if you did, you couldn't do anything about it

[thorn dagger]

really

i thought you couldnt open it up

[lucid echo]

They do, but you're not replacing/removing anything on it. There's a rechargeable battery soldered onto the board

[lucid echo]

Unless you got applecare, your warranty is expired btw

[thorn dagger]

dw i got apple care until octuber

[lucid echo]

DM'd you a zip file to UTM.app

[thorn dagger]

ty

[lucid echo]

Good luck! When it's inevitably a poor experience, come back and maybe we can fix your bios issue

[lucid echo]

There's a set of keys to hold down during boot that effectively resets the BIOS
Macs have some fun stuff under the hood. Like, you can reinstall the OS without a USB or internet connection, even if the storage is completely zero-wiped

[thorn dagger]

now my biggest concern is gonna be storage lmao

[lucid echo]

Your goal is futile, but it'll be a learning experience

[thorn dagger]

the iso image is 5gb and i have like 12gb of storage lmao

[lucid echo]

Looks like you'll be deleting some stuff

You need at least ~20GB to have a decent time inside windows

[thorn dagger]

found the problem

i had some apps that were"duplicated" as apple describes it

good question

[lucid echo]

The most cringe question I've read all day

[thorn dagger]

the iso is almost downloaded

i really hope this works, t it worked with parallels before

only dif is that i used parallels on app store

until after i had downloaded windows and everything went nah you gotta pay now

[unique roost]

Do ltt staff ever chat here

Or is it just the fan server

[thorn dagger]

alright the windows iso is downloaded

[lucid echo]

Some do pretty often

[thorn dagger]

moment of truth

[lucid echo]

Moreso in the flotplane chat

[thorn dagger]

7gb left over

[unique roost]

Oh hey that's pretty cool

[unique roost]

Why though

[small bolt]

I can now put "remote" tech support on my resume as a skill

I've done stuff for friends and family but usually in person

Today I helped my buddy troubleshoot his new RAM and walked him through a BIOS upgrade, made sure to tell him that the procedure has a small but real risk of bricking your mobo and that I don't recommend doing it unless you have an issue like this with compatibility

He bought 32GB ddr4 but the seller sent him 64gb so he's not gonna need to upgrade for a while

[willow patrol]

Can somebody help me in #tech-support , everyone left me after i pulled apart my shit and idk how to do the rest

[warped narwhal]

Do you have more brains than the server population's average age?

[umbral birch]

[small bolt]

I have a dollar and 58 cents on me, watch out bezos and musk

[fluid ridge]

is there a difference between a possessive apostrophe and no apostrophe?

IE:
Mike's Cheese
Mikes Cheese

The former option can also mean "Mike is Cheese" while the latter implies multiple Mikes - plural Mikes, so which one is right?

[lucid echo]

For proper nouns, it’s always possessive

[unique roost]

Linguistics is not an exact science

[lucid echo]

Mike is cheese would never be a thing there

[lucid echo]

Generative Syntax says otherwise :P

[unique roost]

But sanic is correct

[unique roost]

Idk what that is

[neon mesa]

i don't think that matters

apple will tell u to get a new device

[lucid echo]

The science of how language works and the cultural rules that define how sentences are assembled

[fluid ridge]

a decentralized and out of government controlled currency is a great way to make sure you wont eat crap when inflation hits or when certain parties want to seize your assets, just to realize they dont have control of your assets

[umbral birch]

The first one “Mike’s …” means that he owns it, or at least in this case, is his

[lucid echo]

AppleCare just decides whether or not you pay for it

Damn y’all digging up old shit

[neon mesa]

i mean still happening today

[umbral birch]

I don’t think I’ve seen anybody use Mikes

[unique roost]

Pretty sure that's still not an exact science

[fluid ridge]

i saw it because you pinged those 2 replying to that crypto bros message

[unique roost]

My linguistics professor would happily argue with you but I wasn't a linguistics major so I'll stop here

[lucid echo]

There are exceptions of course, but it’s pretty close. There are specific rules for almost every edge case, but for many, no one follows it because it just sounds weird. So in that respect, it’s not exact because people dislike the exactness

[lucid echo]

Yes

[lucid echo]

Yeah move that centralization to the exchanges instead

[fluid ridge]

you could choose not to use an exchange

[lucid echo]

Or the developers of Ethereum when they decide their buggy code needs to be forked because of massive theft

inb4 Ethereum Classic

[fluid ridge]

all im saying is crypto is useful in some circumstances

[lucid echo]

Technically yes, but for every problem it solves, it creates ten more

[fluid ridge]

IE you dont want the feds being able to freeze everything

[unique roost]

But a lot of slang and colloquialisms pretty much just throw those rules out no?

[lucid echo]

In milker’s defense, they said “any example except for crime”

[fluid ridge]

fair enough

[lucid echo]

And if the feds are freezing your assets because of something not criminal, there’s probably bigger problems to worry about

[old cairn]

Do you recommend guys the PRO X SUPERLIGHT?

[fluid ridge]

the gov have always feared what they cannot control 🤷

that's why they sanctioned tornado cash

[fluid ridge]

you probably dont need one

but it's a really good (really expensive) mouse

[lucid echo]

Yes, and that creates subsets of rules within certain slang. It’s a tangled web, but very scientific

[old cairn]

Well,I have the money and my current mouse just stops working mid-game

[fluid ridge]

main selling point obviously is that it's lightweight but that means you lose out on things like extra buttons, infinite scroll, etc.

and rgb if you care about rgb

[old cairn]

I don't really need the extra buttons or the scroll

But damn losing the RGB, idk if I can live with that

[unique roost]

Fair enough. I feel like we agree but just think of different things when it comes to the meaning of "exact science"

Which is what I meant because language is still pretty ambiguous sometimes

[lucid echo]

Yeah that’s a loose term. Technically most sciences are inexact . Genus/species taxonomy is entirely arbitrary and change constantly, for example

[finite cloud]

I’ve been convinced otherwise

[lucid echo]

Triage, thank you for defending crypto without being cringe and condescending

[fluid ridge]

hey man im not a crypto bro since it's speculative and volatile but i like the principles for what crypto was built upon

[finite cloud]

Depends. But generally yes if you’re into a small light mouse

[lucid echo]

If you haven’t yet, Line Goes Up by folding ideas is a must watch

[finite cloud]

I guess it’s cool on paper but in practice it’s been terrible

[fluid ridge]

yeah ill check it out

[lucid echo]

Sets a timeline of how the scene has diverted from those original principles

Honestly one of the best nonfiction works on YouTube

[old cairn]

Hmmmm,my current mouse is the Glorious model D but it turns off or stops working mid-game when I do some flicks or lift my mouse and I find it comfy

[fluid ridge]

glorious is really good

better than logitech imo

[lucid echo]

Powerplay so nice tho

Haven’t plugged in my mouse in 4 years

[finite cloud]

I think Logitech makes the best mice

[finite cloud]

Haven’t plugged in mine in…4 days

[fluid ridge]

logitech mice have this really shitty double click problem

[lucid echo]

I’m not a competitive lightweight guy so I can’t speak for that. I got my G502 weighted down cuz it helps my wrists

[fluid ridge]

im experiencing it on my g604

it happens occasionally so it's not the end of the world but when it happens it's annoying as shit

[lucid echo]

Yeah I’m starting to see that but only after 5 years of almost daily use

[finite cloud]

Oh I use their Logi stuff more not their G

[fluid ridge]

ive been using this mouse for ~10 months

i got it last year on black friday, not even a year old yet bruhhh

[manic torrent]

it absolutely isn't - language is basically a random crapshoot. The science is higher level than that

[lucid echo]

Whatever you say buddy

[manic torrent]

The science is about how language forms and is propagated, not so much what it is

and "rules" are more like guidelines

particularly in english

[lucid echo]

It’s not like I took multiple high level linguistics courses on this or anything

[manic torrent]

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/sep/13/sentence-order-adjectives-rule-elements-of-eloquence-dictionary#:~:text=The rule is that multiple,inviolable%2C even in informal speech.

This is one of my favourites

[lucid echo]

There are several lengthy books on generative syntax if you’d like to learn more

The ways in which people break the rules is part of the science of it all

[manic torrent]

yeah, which is higher level 😛

[lucid echo]

It’s not chemistry or astrophysics but it’s also not vibes-based

[manic torrent]

or... lower level? But it's a level of abstraction

oh, no, it's not vibes. No question.

[lucid echo]

It is too late in the night and Covid brain fog is too thick for me to get into this

rest assured, there is a science, but it is not often referenced in popular media/science.

And it’s fascinating

[manic torrent]

100% science

you said exact

and I was just being a nitpicky asshole

[lucid echo]

Yeah, I know

[manic torrent]

same as like... looking at PEOPLE vs a person.

[lucid echo]

It is exact, people just don’t follow it because it sounds really fucking weird in the edge cases. But the rules are there and they are exact.

The usage of the exact science is fluid, I think that’s the simplest way to put it

[full fossil]

Hello

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[lucid echo]

Bye

[full fossil]

How u doing

@lucid echo cya

Bruh

U gonna kill him too?

Smh

He was a cool guy i think

[eternal sparrow]

any1 remember the internet scavenger hunt/game thing that linus promoted a few months ago

it was like something the web 2.0

nvm

[echo ridge]

What are you talking about

[feral wedge]

This person continues to argue with me about 'wiiPC is not possible'

[graceful burrow]

tf is a wiipc

[echo ridge]

thats what i said

[graceful burrow]

ayo explain the wiiPC i'm intrigued

[echo ridge]

i googled it the only thing i saw was this https://sourceforge.net/projects/wiipc/

[graceful burrow]

damn i sure cant read german

[echo ridge]

google translate

[graceful burrow]

oh its just a controller emulator

that's easily doable kek

[echo ridge]

or this

https://www.vrealities.com/products/3d-controllers/wii-pc-2

[graceful burrow]

i saw a lot of pics of people putting pcs into wiis

[echo ridge]

^

[graceful burrow]

hi barrington

👀

[vapid moss]

A wiimote controller emulator? Saw projects for that back in like 2006/7 lol

[graceful burrow]

wiimotes just use bluetooth you can use them on dolphin without much issue kek

[vapid moss]

These were ones to use the motion controls as mouse input

And making diy sensor bars out of 2 candles lol

[echo ridge]

yoo it's a mod

[graceful burrow]

Surprisingly simple yet effective controller
The wii printed money

[echo ridge]

i never played the wii

i bought it played it once and just gamed on pc

[graceful burrow]

It was cool for the time but it being 480p only really hurt it

[echo ridge]

thats what made it cheap

i remember my brother putting homebrew on the wii and i had no idea what it was

[feral wedge]

PC except Wii case.

Like just use a MoBo that uses external power brick n shit

And then install dolphin emulator

Boom ez, use a real Wii for downloading/transferring games n stuff.

Not even impossible to use regular PC hardware, for example a Ryzen 4000 series processer.

The only issue is finding small enough form factor hardware so you can actually fit it inside a Wii.

[frigid delta]

It could work, but the scale would make it kinda slow no?
Or is it limitless budget and custom PCB?

[feral wedge]

Technically, or you could go the other route and just print your own case and re-use the front panel.

[frigid delta]

I know Ryzen APU based GameCube has been done

[feral wedge]

There are ultraSFF motherboards though.

So it's def possible even with a Wii.

[frigid delta]

Ryzen APU does come in raspberry Pi size too

[feral wedge]

True.

It's better to just do a laptop route though. DGPU and CPU soldered to motherboard with upgradable ram.

Then again might not be worth it since you'd have to use a 1650 or something.

[frigid delta]

I suppose there could be a diehard fan out there designing something as a SOC

[feral wedge]

If only Socketed GPU'S did exist.

[frigid delta]

Something that small you do have to make compromises, and sometimes it's ok
Could just hack a NUC into it and call it a day

[feral wedge]

True. Another problem is OS. There's no custom wii-based OS for PC'S.

Unless you use Linux and learn coding, SOL.

[dense stump]

Just gonna mention, asus made, a 3.5x3.5 inch sbc, tbf, you are limited to 8 or 9th gen i7s

[feral wedge]

Did they make it in Ryzen?

I would so buy that rn.

[frigid delta]

Still enough for most people

As a basic pc

[dense stump]

https://iot.asus.com/products/single-board-computer/
The c7865s
Has an i7 and a mini pie slot

[frigid delta]

I don't imagine the Wii has much going for ventilation though

[glacial basin]

welcome to MXM

[feral wedge]

Wait 1 fucking second

[glacial basin]

socketed GPU, used in laptops

clevo still uses them

[feral wedge]

Right the dumb 16x except smaller GPU'S.

Well not dumb. Still.

[glacial basin]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/597869539186835483/1009033060311908391/unknown.png

[dense stump]

I dont know if asus made any, but I do know there was one, called the udoo bolt v8, its a ryzen sbc, heat sink is absolutly massive, tho

[feral wedge]

Mabye you could do a sandwich MXM GPU and mini-SFF with external water cooling?

Even though it would look bad, you'd def need something of the sort for the GPU.

[frigid delta]

Second Wii hiding a radiator inside?

[feral wedge]

Possibly.

[graceful burrow]

Im working on a project like this

[feral wedge]

Ok. Do you know if you could also make like

A XMX GPU with a switched DIE?

Like use a 2080 or something

[graceful burrow]

No
You might be able to swap mxm chips from the same family and manufacturer but you definitely wouldn't be able to swap a full fat gpu die to an mxm card
You don't have the power delivery
You wouldn't have the proper cooling mounts
And most importantly you wouldn't have the same pinout

[feral wedge]

Sadly.

[graceful burrow]

If you want graphics in something as small as a wii you're gonna just need to utilize an soc with integrated graphics

My plan for my project is to take a board out of a minisforum elitemini b550 and throw a 5600g in there

[limpid fern]

Raspberry pi compute module with a 3090ti

Custom cooler

[graceful burrow]

Not within a wii case

Not within my case either

[limpid fern]

Yea ig the wii is only double the size of my laptop power brick

If you can, make the disk reader still work

[glacial basin]

there are mxm 3080s for double the price of regular 3080s on eBay

[limpid fern]

Disguise the psu as the wii psu

Get the wii remotes to work

That actually sounds fun, load some Nintendo games on a pi and make the controllers work, sleeper wii

[feral wedge]

You can just use a controller binder app for that.

[feral wedge]

Laptop slim DVD drive + dolphin.

[limpid fern]

Exactly

[frigid delta]

Aldonist idea is more practical than the MXM route, in both cooling and power scenarios
Even if you liquid cooled it the tolerances are very tight

[feral wedge]

Then again you can still use the front panel and all it's buttons.

Just tear apart an external SD card reader and use a slimDVD laptop drive

Or a slim ROM drive if you can.

[upbeat ridge]

I am convinced I secretly hate myself

[graceful burrow]

I been doing a lot of research into basically doing this myself with a different case 😅

[upbeat ridge]

14 hour journey crossing three countries using almost exclusively regional trains because cheap

(Only the Prague-Bad Schandau is an EuroCity, the rest is regional trains)

[summer bloom]

I’m looking at a pc online and was wondering if the price was worth it or not, could someone please help me?

[frigid delta]

It's a solid plan, the 5600g is pretty solid for emulator and mid spec

[limpid fern]

Sure

[summer bloom]

Can I dm you?
