[feral wedge]

(then again 7000 series is like 1 month away)

[frigid delta]

1 month if supply is good

[feral wedge]

Besides if we can somehow make a custom motherboard with a 7000 series socket...

It'll be amazing.

[graceful burrow]

Unless you plan to take multiple electrical engineering courses and put in effort into doing that you're not gonna get a custom board

[frigid delta]

But with the Wii, it's very small, you're going to have to make sacrifices somewhere

[graceful burrow]

You're just thinking too big

[summer bloom]

@limpid fern how would you like me to show you the specs?

[frigid delta]

Personally with a Wii I'd just go With a low tdp solution

[feral wedge]

What about taking 3 wii's and stacking them together. Then making custom front and backplates for motherboard IO and stuff.

[frigid delta]

I guess

[feral wedge]

And then just cutting holes for each part.

Like 1 Wii can be the MoBo, one can be GPU, use a riser?

[graceful burrow]

Do you even know how much space you have to put a motherboard in?

How are you going to mount it
Cool it

You're thinking too fantastically

[frigid delta]

But you could always just make a really big Wii in micro ATX size if you're going to be hacking apart stuff

[graceful burrow]

Mini itx is smaller

[frigid delta]

Like a big novelty

[feral wedge]

My point.

Just stack 3 wii's, make 4 holes and use a custom front/backplate's.

[graceful burrow]

See but it's just not that simple

Thinking fantastically like that ensure the project never leaves planning phase I assure you

[frigid delta]

I think you're just going to end up with 3 cut up Wii's

[graceful burrow]

You need to get a wii, take it apart, figure out the space you have for a board, find a board that fits
First and foremost

Decide what hardware you can get in it

[limpid fern]

Sorry, yea go ahead

[graceful burrow]

I also think you're just gonna end up with 3 cut up wiis

[frigid delta]

And a lot of structure strength of it would be gone unless it's mounted to piece of wood or just never moved

[feral wedge]

They have kits online for replacement plastic panels.

[feral wedge]

Ok lemme explain.

So one Wii would hold the motherboard and you'd cut the top of it off so the motherboard I/O is exposed while your putting it together.

The middle one would have both sides cut for wires to pass through or anything else you need

And the third one could be the opposite for like

[frigid delta]

So one extra thick Wii?

[feral wedge]

Cooling or anything else.

[feral wedge]

Pretty much.

Then you don't have to worry about spacing or anything.

And just use a custom liquid loop that supports your GPU and CPU.

Possibly a external Wii that works purely for a rad or something.

[graceful burrow]

I think you're vastly overestimating the available size of a wii

[frigid delta]

It's still very small (almost comical) the original Wii is just a bit larger in length and height than the discs it takes

[feral wedge]

Use the smallest Ryzen motherboard available.

That's your solution.

[frigid delta]

The smallest available is a SOC

But far from cheap

[graceful burrow]

Find it then
Find one available
Because I've spent the last several days researching this

[feral wedge]

$200 to $800...

[frigid delta]

R1000

[feral wedge]

They're usually just ITX.

[graceful burrow]

Wii is too small for any itx

Keep going

[feral wedge]

Use a mini-itx MoBo.

[graceful burrow]

Too big

I have a wii right infront of me

[feral wedge]

Found a ddr4 2.5" motherboard.

[frigid delta]

Ryzen embedded is the only reasonable size

[feral wedge]

Sata3.

[frigid delta]

V1000 for 4c solution

[feral wedge]

Then again it uses a Intel Atom CPU.

[frigid delta]

R2000 is coming soon

[unique roost]

You guys are thinking too much

[feral wedge]

You come up with Something lever then.

[graceful burrow]

They are
I've already gone through this kek

[feral wedge]

ba dum tiss

[unique roost]

Make a fat tower as a server and then put a thin client in the Wii

Done ezpz

[frigid delta]

Lol

[graceful burrow]

Hell yeah
And then network video compression would make it authentically look like a wii lmao

[unique roost]

Steam remote play no?

Eh?

[unique roost]

Not if it's local

[feral wedge]

Then again you'd need a custom designed OS.

[unique roost]

If you have a good router it'll be fine

[feral wedge]

What about wired though?

Instead of doing wireless.

Crap then again no Ethernet port on the Wii.

[limpid fern]

Put a fiber usb and dp extention in the wii

[unique roost]

Or you do what Linus did and wire up a HDMI over Ethernet solution

[feral wedge]

Mabye you can use a USB 2.0 To Ethernet adapter.

[limpid fern]

Like what linus and yvon have

[feral wedge]

Since the Wii does have USB ports.

[frigid delta]

I recommend watching the GameCube ryzen APU PC and seeing just how little room there is inside a larger system if you're serious on making it all work inside one case

[unique roost]

No no don't use the garbage Wii native os

Rip that junk out and put in a proper board from a nuc or something

[graceful burrow]

This is basically the answer

[feral wedge]

Well there's like bootmii and stuff you can use.

[graceful burrow]

You're only getting a properly small board if you shuck a nuc

[frigid delta]

NUC is best, everything is already solved for you

[graceful burrow]

Not cooling

[unique roost]

What are you talking about nucs are so cool

[limpid fern]

#tech-chat-1

[unique roost]

All the rage "new unit of computing"

[feral wedge]

Lol

[frigid delta]

So good you can warm a burrito on it

[limpid fern]

Like the ps4

[feral wedge]

Then again we need DP for our video out. Even MINIDP would be better than nothing.

[graceful burrow]

So good you can warp the wii casing

[unique roost]

WDYM the name cools the thing

[limpid fern]

Bro just put the thing in #tech-chat-1 in a wii

Have a pc somewhere else

[graceful burrow]

If it ain't runnin local it ain't a "wiipc"

It's a "wii display adapter"

[frigid delta]

Paint a NUC white and write WII on it

[unique roost]

No one needs to know

[feral wedge]

Use the front panel's plastic instead :troll:

Just use that as a Wii badge and then paint the rest in the same glossy white

[graceful burrow]

Wouldn't be hard to figure out

[limpid fern]

Or put that amd mini pc in a wii

[limpid fern]

Nah gotta yellow it a bit

[unique roost]

Bruh stop smoking inside

[limpid fern]

So it looks like its been in the sun for 6 years

[feral wedge]

Oh wym my Wii is actually still a perfect white! Just scratched up a little.

[unique roost]

My Wii is still pristine snow

[limpid fern]

??

[frigid delta]

It's from exposure, cheap plastic turns yellow eventually

[limpid fern]

Mine was next to a window

[feral wedge]

#tech-chat-1

[unique roost]

Oh that sucks

[feral wedge]

Go look, it's still a perfect white. Just scratched.

[frigid delta]

And missing the rest of the chassis

[feral wedge]

Nah I have the entire thing.

I just removed it to prove a point that you can re-use the front panel.

(to someone else)

Just 3d print a custom case and you have a 'wii'PC.

[frigid delta]

Go full hard mode, use the WII mini

[limpid fern]

Nah use the gameboy

[feral wedge]

(except a fake version of one)

[feral wedge]

Have you not seen the portable Wii?

[limpid fern]

Is the gameboy smaller?

[frigid delta]

It is

[limpid fern]

Well there you go

[feral wedge]

Way smaller. You don't even need the full motherboard on a Wii. It's actually funny.

[frigid delta]

There's one called the KillMii

[limpid fern]

Even more of a challenge

[frigid delta]

Altoids tin case

[limpid fern]

Build a pc in a phone

[limpid fern]

Tictac case

[feral wedge]

Ok but a phone is a PC except microFF

[frigid delta]

Thumbdrive

[limpid fern]

I mean with modurn hardware

[frigid delta]

Wait, that was the atom

[limpid fern]

Like from intel

[feral wedge]

I mean... Technically if you modified a CPU die...

it might be possible.

But what about cooling.

[limpid fern]

With that big Samsung phone

[limpid fern]

Let it throttle

[wary summit]

Guys, it took like 2 days, but i rendered classroom on my phone

[limpid fern]

Epic

[frigid delta]

Noice

[feral wedge]

I'll be surprised if you even get 5 seconds of it being alive.

[wary summit]

now imma render it on a proper phone with SD 8+ gen 1 (i got it last week) (Xiaomi 12 pro)

[limpid fern]

I kinda wanna build a gaming pc in a c64

[frigid delta]

Do it

[feral wedge]

cough cough

You have linus' partner brand.

[wary summit]

frameworks couhg couhg

[limpid fern]

What?

[feral wedge]

We need the ryzen versions though

[wary summit]

facts

[limpid fern]

Wdym framework? Im talking abt commadore

[wary summit]

or get a Zephyruz G14 and slap that in a keyboard

[feral wedge]

FrameWorks motherboard inside a commadore c64

[limpid fern]

No, i mean like desktop

Desktop parts

[feral wedge]

We know what you mean.

[wary summit]

then you'll need noctua and anything but an Intel cpu

[feral wedge]

You can use a framework as a desktop.

[wary summit]

but he wants big bois

[feral wedge]

True.

[limpid fern]

You cant fit a standard mobo in a c64

[wary summit]

hear me out: Get a Alienware XXXXX the one with a socketed cpu and slap that bad boy in

[wary summit]

no shit sherlock

[feral wedge]

Custom motherboard.

[wary summit]

Mini itx?

whats the dimensions of a C64?

[graceful burrow]

This is the first time you've said custom infront of another word and it being feasibly possible lmao

[wary summit]

Pcbway's got you covered

[feral wedge]

Custom motherboard with CPU socket.

[limpid fern]

40.4 (W) x 21.6 (D) x 7.5(H)

[feral wedge]

:) fixed it

[wary summit]

fuck i don't have nitro

[graceful burrow]

Not feasible for even extremely experienced electrical engineers, they have whole teams of experts make those

[wary summit]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/VIA_Mainboards_Form_Factor_Comparison.jpg/440px-VIA_Mainboards_Form_Factor_Comparison.jpg

[graceful burrow]

Have you ever heard of someone making a custom desktop motherboard for a socketed Intel or amd cpu? I sure havent

[frigid delta]

STX am4 board?

[graceful burrow]

Only one exists, made by asrock, not sold anymore

I told you I've done my research

[feral wedge]

Buy it used

[graceful burrow]

Find it used

[limpid fern]

Alienwares laptop and asus

[frigid delta]

Im in no way doubting you @graceful burrow

[feral wedge]

Make it used

[graceful burrow]

Those are multi billion dollar companies my guy

I'm talking about your average Joe

Like I said before
Thinking so fantastically ensure the project never gets off the ground

[wary summit]

https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/nano-itx-motherboard-with-1155-socket.html

how bout this?

[graceful burrow]

1155

If you like not even being able to run gamecube games sure kek

[frigid delta]

The a300 is still available on newegg

But

[wary summit]

is 120mm X 120mm small enough?

[frigid delta]

259.99 cad

[graceful burrow]

Spend 20 bucks more and get a better suited board from minisforum

[wary summit]

https://www.ebay.com.au/p/1524013289?iid=334462981800

[graceful burrow]

via cpu
They still around?

[frigid delta]

Industrial applications I believe

[wary summit]

I have a B450M S2H, should i get a B550M H?

[graceful burrow]

Do you have a reason to upgrade

[wary summit]

rgb header

[graceful burrow]

No kek

[unique roost]

Spend that 200$ on your savings

[wary summit]

budget AM4 mobo with type c? any reconmendations

[graceful burrow]

Usb 3.1 you mean?

[wary summit]

no, any Type C, that can transmit data

[frigid delta]

Not really worth the upgrade if that's all you need

[graceful burrow]

OK I'll find something with usb 2 type c

[graceful burrow]

This fr
Get an adapter for 7 bucks kek

[wary summit]

and also an rgb header thats 5v

not 12v

[frigid delta]

ARGB controller

[wary summit]

and another NVME slot

also 4+ sata ports to be usable when Gpu is in

[frigid delta]

So a full size ATX b550

[wary summit]

probably

[frigid delta]

Is your case large enough?

[wary summit]

was thinking B450 Tomahawk II

[wary summit]

I think so

[frigid delta]

Are you looking on newegg?

[feral wedge]

Tate should deepfry himself so he can actually be useful for something; feeding the poor.

[feral wedge]

True

[full fossil]

Nah

[olive badger]

This guy actually have fans?

[wispy crystal]

Hey, so I’m back around to considering updating to Windows 11. Is it worth it yet?

[slim yacht]

i will advice to not reply to anything he says

dont tell me i didn warn ya

[feral wedge]

No

[slim yacht]

[feral wedge]

Not even close.

[wispy crystal]

What’s the main reason not to?

[feral wedge]

Everything.

[slim yacht]

its just a skin version of windows 10 with some added things to it
its fine to jump ship but it wont show much benefit

generally system wise anything can run it just fine if your machine can run win10 beforehand

[wispy crystal]

Yeah, my main concern was stability and software compatibility as I do a lot of rendering.

[frigid delta]

It's still early for windows 11, if 10 works just stick with that

[slim yacht]

anything that runs on 10 will do about the same on 11

cinebench test still reports windows 11 as windows 10

theyre practically the same, with just a skin on top

[frigid delta]

Like 10 being reported as 8

[slim yacht]

its the same case between windows os transition

you shouldnt have any issue after you update to 21H1

[wispy crystal]

What about stability? Is explorer still prone to crashing or glitching?

[feral wedge]

Bruh who tf uses explorer

[willow patrol]

Can confirm, used win 10 for like 3 years and everything other than the skin is fine for me, Davinci resolve, games, most stuff is the same as it was before

[slim yacht]

*note : im on amd system
no, after 21h1 there isnt any crash on anything

[frigid delta]

Explorer is your file explorer

[willow patrol]

that being from me switching to 11

[feral wedge]

I thought he meant internet explorer

💀

[willow patrol]

the main difference is microsoft's own interface basically

[frigid delta]

It's an old term I suppose

[slim yacht]

technically they almost took a mac approach to the skin
but not bad actually, windows twist on it is pretty pleasant to look at

[willow patrol]

eh its subjective but I like it, as long as it doesnt crash its good enough for me

and the only thing that crashes is microsoft teams but dont get me started on that rubble of garbage

[wispy crystal]

Brilliant. I use Topaz and just nervous about a crash at like 5 hours. But if it’s stable I’m happy to give it a shot.

[frigid delta]

If you're picky about the skin, open Shell makes a host of custom ones

[slim yacht]

lol shit crashes even on the 10
so annoying

[willow patrol]

yea if you're still on 10 you can roll back if you dont like it

[frigid delta]

I'm partial to the XP look

[feral wedge]

I like the windows 10 taskbar though. I can actually see all my icons and stuff. Better for productivity.

[willow patrol]

yea ms apps are their own separate issue

[feral wedge]

I have 2 apps you can use if you need me to dm them to you.

[frigid delta]

I already use open shell

[feral wedge]

It changes the taskbar and other thing

[slim yacht]

theyre identical and you can custom it to the ones you find on windows 10

im basically doing just that

[willow patrol]

i tried using their own "clipchamp" thing and that even sucked which basically just trims video times but it made my video super prone to artifacting

[wispy crystal]

Thanks everyone, I’ll give it a try. At least I can roll back.

Is it any faster?

[willow patrol]

No, it is neither faster nor slower, its the same

im not sure if you meant performance in games or SSD speeds but neither are affected in my knowledge

only real benefit is alder lake

[zinc brook]

use windows 10 i beg u

i am an old windows 11 user

im back on windows 10

windows 11 is horrible in every way possible

if i were to write a list of problems it would reach the moon

[willow patrol]

what build were you on

and what hardware did you run

[slim yacht]

please do so. im currently on 11 after 3 month now
would like to know what your issue is

[feral wedge]

Every fucking thing

Like everything with 11 Is bad

[night heron]

no it isn’t

[slim yacht]

everything is very general, please be specific

[feral wedge]

ITS ENTIRE EXISTANCE

[night heron]

it’s just windows 10 with more features

how could its entire existence be horrible

[willow patrol]

its probably just people that heard tech reporters call win 11 a failure, which at launch it was, but now refuse to rid that opinion that countless youtubers left on people even when faced with opportunity to learn more about it

[tawdry musk]

Some of you really know how to complain about useless points

Like this is just how they do business, if people don't like it they should consider getting a job

[willow patrol]

Im not sure who this directed at

[tawdry musk]

People complaining about windows releases

[willow patrol]

Well I mean it was mostly fair criticism, at least from people who actually knew what they were talking about

but incessant complaining about it without any knowledge or experience of how it works is annoying yea

[tawdry musk]

I conclude that the only reason people are complaining is socialism

[willow patrol]

I don't understand how you came to that reasoning but fair enough

[tawdry musk]

Are you employed?

[willow patrol]

Not on a pay stub type of employment but I work for my dad and his brother often

[tawdry musk]

Oh wow I didn't ask for your life story

[willow patrol]

Well I was just informing you of my informal "employment" as you asked for it lol

[tawdry musk]

Go get a job at a supermarket or a fast food outlet McDonald's are always hiring

[willow patrol]

I dont want to, as well as i dont have the time to bc I'm in school lol

[tawdry musk]

Then what are you doing on here arguing with me, why don't you go study?

[willow patrol]

Im not sure how this is helping me understand the connection from windows 11 complaining to socialism

im not arguing bruh im trying to converse with people

at least i dont think i was arguing but i apologize if i came of as rude or something

[tawdry musk]

Don't apologise

You have a lot of understanding to do

[willow patrol]

yes, that is why I said i dont see the connection

if you want to explain it to me be my guest information is cool but if not i understand if you have better things to do

[tawdry musk]

I do have better things to do
It will make sense
Ask your parents if you get stuck
I'm out

[willow patrol]

Alright then have a good one

[willow patrol]

Back to what i was gonna say, but this is usually what the mass majority of people do which is understandable as people don't want to become experts in whatever random topic they hear about

[slim yacht]

i dont agree so. if its entire system was bad in the first place i would not have migrated. especially knowing how it was on an amd system

[willow patrol]

same, I bought a system that had win 11 preinstalled on it and i gave it a chance and it wasnt really that big of a deal other than the start button and right click lol

[slim yacht]

for you to not nitpick what is going wrong basically tells me you just dont like windows 11 in general. not because of what issues it carries instead

[fossil frost]

i prefer win11 now that the major issues are fixed. i like that all the settings are being condensed into a single location, rather than having 3 different ways of having to find a setting, i like the look of it, i like that its now more responsive.

but i also get that people in general dont like change, and microsoft implemented a change, which triggered a lot of peoples base instinct to reject change and reject authority

in general, this quote stands up very well... "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals"

[slim yacht]

yea and you also have to understand change is fine. and its not so drastic to point the system is foreign like when u learn a gui language in linux distro

its practically just windows

[fossil frost]

the stupid change microsoft made was moving the start button. centre aligning the whole task bar, letting the start button be in a different place depending on what you have open or what you have pinned... that is a very stupid UI and UX decision, whoever signed off on that is not good at UX and shouldnt be allowed to make any more decisions

[slim yacht]

they give you options to reposition it back like win10 so i think this is fine
they probably get alot of complain from those

[fossil frost]

and that is me speaking as a developer, not as a person who doesnt like change... ive worked with building software and UIs for software for 20 years now... changing the UX behaviour like that was an objectively bad decision, especially making it the default

[slim yacht]

yes and thats why people actually complained about it notoriously too

at first i find it kewl myself, and then after i use it....

hate it, so changed back to win10 config taskbar

[fossil frost]

i want things to be where i left them... program icons, start menus... my keys... the thermostat.... if people move them, they are in danger of being hurt 🙂

[slim yacht]

i admin an os instead of designing one so i can just choose any os i like
its different case than you i see

[willow patrol]

haha i got used to it after like 10 days so I had no bother to change it

i do miss being able to easily click the start button but then that would make my windows key feel lonely

[tame rain]

Go outside

[vapid moss]

the antivirus is named after the guy

[pine fog]

Theres McArthur
So why not McAfee

You come here just to tell people to work out and lightly antagonize people?

[night heron]

that’d be based

[graceful burrow]

I mean
Look at their message history

It's all they've done so far

[ivory dawn]

If you are prone to getting viruses, just make sure that either within your browser or in the Internet Options to make everything strict, so anything you do will be either asked or blocked by default. Within Windows Defender Firewall make sure to just scan downloads before you save it to the folder so if it is a virus, it will be automatically quarantined.

[graceful burrow]

Ironically, touch grass lmao

[ivory dawn]

lmao

[neon mesa]

Nothing

Windows defender is the best one out there, only beaten by expensive enterprise options

Nothing free will do

Nor cheap ones

[graceful burrow]

Afaik all the current top ones use the same virus definitions so they're all gonna be basically the same
As long as you aren't braindead and practice safe computing you shouldn't have an issue

[neon mesa]

99% of shit will get caught by defender

[ivory dawn]

Or, I will assign you CyberSecurity courses so you no stupid lol

[neon mesa]

Only zero day ones will sometimes get overlooked by it, even then they're patched really quickly and you're not a worthy target for such a sophisticated attack

[tame rain]

No giving out a good suggestion

[tame rain]

I’m outside

[graceful burrow]

[still horizon]

What do y'all think, i think that a I5-3570k will go pretty well with an RTX 3080

[neon mesa]

Definitely NOT

[ivory dawn]

Fuck no! It won't. You are going to bottleneck your CPU big time

[neon mesa]

Bottleneck the gpu you mean

[ivory dawn]

Yeah

[neon mesa]

The gpu will sip 10% while the cpu melt

[ivory dawn]

Now maybe a GTX 1660 or a RTX 3050 would be better suited

[neon mesa]

Why downgrade the graphics card instead of upgrading the cpu...

Even a 12100F is a million time better

[full fossil]

no, thats old cpu

[ivory dawn]

I know. I am giving relevant stats for a an old i5 and a modern GPU. Now, I would recommend a CPU upgrade

Hi

[solid oak]

guys i need help

[graceful burrow]

Me too

[solid oak]

where can i ask

[graceful burrow]

Depends

[solid oak]

its about python

[silver cliff]

sorry i'm not talking alot i been testing seor mods on 7 days to die before releasing them

thanks

[feral wedge]

Can someone make a USB3.0 To switch game reader adapter?

[graceful burrow]

Why don't you

Good project you could learn a lot doing it

[feral wedge]

Cuz I'm stuoid

stupid*

[graceful burrow]

You don't have to tell me

[feral wedge]

Here's your proof

[graceful burrow]

Currently the only way to dump switch games is via a modded switch

[feral wedge]

(or using a emulator of the same style of dolphin)

Since it only needs save files.

Oh, does it really only use a ribbon cable?!

Wow!

[tame rain]

Do y’all know how I can fix the mic quality on a blue yeti

[feral wedge]

Update the drivers. They have a software for it.

[tame rain]

What software

I just use the mic I don’t got any software

[feral wedge]

Go to the Logitech blue website.

The software should be there.

I don't remember what it's called.

[ivory dawn]

Open settings > System > Sound > More Sound Settings > Recording > Right Click on your Microphone and click on properties > Click on Advanced. From there choose the highest frequency and bit for your microphone. Should help.

[graceful burrow]

G hub

[tame rain]

Ty

[ivory dawn]

And do what ScareCrow said. Go to their site and see if there is a software application for your microphone. If so, that will help in better regards since their, you can adjust the microphone to your liking.

[finite cloud]

is it the original yeti?

[feral wedge]

It should just be the generic 'blue'-branded software for drivers n stuff.

[tame rain]

Yeah

I fucking hate it

[finite cloud]

Overdark's solution might be the best

you could also try the knobs on the back. I forgot what they are called but one of them looks like an upside down heart. use that

[tame rain]

Alright

How about the volume

[finite cloud]

you dont really need to adjust that. just find a volume that works best with your voice

[ivory dawn]

One is volume, the other is gain/loudness, and the other is the environment

[tame rain]

I wish I could get the re20

That shit sounds so clear

[finite cloud]

forgot theres a third on the front

[ivory dawn]

Yeah.

[tame rain]

What is gain for

[finite cloud]

oh it just came to me. cardioid

[finite cloud]

gain is how loud you're gonna sound

[tame rain]

Oh

[finite cloud]

the one on the front is for headphones

so yeah use the butt cardioid and get the right gain

the yeti isnt a bad mic its just people dont use it right. you can make it sound pretty good

[gentle slate]

How beneficial would it be to have an unrelated university degree for a job in IT?

[ivory dawn]

Depends on the degree. Probably anything relevant to complex solving would help. However, pretty much a degree is a check mark and for employers to land you a manager position in IT. Certifications will help qualify you in certain aspects in IT. Get the right cert, you will land in the right aspect. Not always the case, but typically it is.

[gentle slate]

It's a degree in geography. Still vague so far. Just geography. And I'm having a mental boom. So far I hate pretty much everything about this degree and university as a whole and I feel like I aint gonna last another 4 years

[lucid echo]

I have a degree in cognitive science but a lucrative software dev career now, some of my coworkers have degrees in theatre and art history

[junior tide]

helo gamurs

[full fossil]

No

[junior tide]

i got my mom to try out my sim racing rig today

"why are you wasting money on toys"
"sit down mom"

[hearty spear]

I have a friend who went from being an actress to a software Dev. A few months of schooling can do miracles for one's career.

[odd nebula]

yall think linus does leg day?

oh nvm he absolutely does

[hearty spear]

linus 110% works out

[lucid echo]

He plays badminton

Which is super leg heavy

[hearty spear]

There was a whole bit in a recent video where they're giving him shit about not being able to cross his legs

(one of the intel upgrades)

[austere rampart]

in Hasan Piker's reaction video to Linus' left leaning PC video he went "yo guys .. Linus is ripped, look at his arms! Dude is yoked"

[tame rain]

How can I not hear myself

[golden talon]

Just bought the new M2 air super excited for it to come

[finite cloud]

What’s your output

[violet hazel]

rip

[golden talon]

Heard amazing things about these new macbooks

[finite cloud]

nice

[golden talon]

Got rid of the 2020 i3 macbook

[finite cloud]

They’re some of the best laptops out right now

[golden talon]

Yep

[lucid echo]

Can confirm, my M1 Max MBP is kinda magical

Sips power while compiling code, it's insane

[golden talon]

Poor i3 ran at 90 C in just zoom meetings

[lucid echo]

Even my i9 MBP couldn't keep up with encoding those calls lol

[unique roost]

Ok but zoom is a shit piece of software

[golden talon]

i’ll probably crack open the M2 Air and shove in some thermal pads to help keep it cool once warranty runs out

[lucid echo]

For me it was Google Meet. It's just encoding/decoding several video streams that's the bottleneck

[unique roost]

Google meet is much better

[lucid echo]

Great new features too

PiP is fun

[finite cloud]

My MacBook Pro 2017 struggles with anything

It has an i5

[unique roost]

Even more to come

[lucid echo]

Anything from the Johnny Ive era is gonna struggle

[night heron]

intentionally bad thermal designs to push their new arm designs moment

[lucid echo]

I'm all for companies doing shady things but I think this is a little too tinfoil hat for me. I think it had more to do with Ive leaving the company

[finite cloud]

No more thin and light laptops unless the IO and thermals are good

And no I don’t mean 2 usb c Ports

[unique roost]

4 USB c ports then

[unique roost]

I'm more pissed that the mb pro only sports two external monitors

Supports*

And I can't daisy chain them because only thunderbolt docks work

[feral wedge]

Yeah but like, you can technically use it as a desktop.

[unique roost]

??? wdym

[feral wedge]

(if you use 2 monitors)

[violet hazel]

lol facs tho

[upbeat ridge]

But what about 2 usb C, one usb A and a headphone jack?

[finite cloud]

I’m guessing that’s an arm limit but still disappointing

[feral wedge]

Sorry headphone jacks are exclusive to android. More specifically USB-C to USB-C + Headphone jack cases.

[unique roost]

It's not a limit of anything other than apple managements willingness

Pretty sure the higher tier products support more

I just want more screen area for documentation and code

[finite cloud]

Ah. Well, they did say that taking things away is courage so

[finite cloud]

That’s gonna be a problem if I decide to use a mac as a desktop because I got 3

[unique roost]

Eh I'll probably switch to a Chromebook if the build quality turns out decent

[unique roost]

Exactly

[finite cloud]

Most chromebooks suck. You gotta spend decent laptop money to get a good one

[unique roost]

Well I wouldn't be the one paying for it

[finite cloud]

Guess that works then sure

My next laptop or computer won’t be an apple one since I don’t like their computers anymore

[unique roost]

I mean they're pretty good for most dev work and general use

Best build quality and battery life too

[finite cloud]

Yeah you’re not wrong. Still not enough to make me continue to support them

[upbeat ridge]

Someone stole my hostel bed????

[unique roost]

Almost every other laptop brand have flimsy pieces of shit frames

[dull granite]

i managed to at least save it's old hard drive and some ram

[opaque valve]

Is there any channel where we can post what we sell/looking for?

[unique roost]

Hardware swap subreddit

[dull granite]

i want to eat the ram tho

[graceful burrow]

Not within the server, mods have said in the past no selling

[opaque valve]

love the mods

[lucid echo]

Yeah, the native support for UNIX commands is essential for software dev

[finite cloud]

They’re the best :)

[lethal copper]

I’m surprised I can’t find any apis for server usage E.g. cpu %, ram used

It seems like such a basic thing to create so even thought it’s useless I’m surprised I can’t find it online

I guess I’ll just make my own single method rest api for that 👍

Should be 8 minutes in flask

[graceful burrow]

Put it on github so I can roast it

[lethal copper]

Lmao ok

[graceful burrow]

(I won't look at it I promise)

“Smh uses normal flask routes and not fancy OOP rest!!!!!”

[wet wasp]

Does a 3070 bottleneck with an i7 12th gen in "most" games? or doesnt at all

I know it depends on settings and stuff

But generally speaking is it a good combo

[graceful burrow]

It's a good combo you won't have issues

[wet wasp]

what about 10th gen ?

[graceful burrow]

Not worth over 12th

12th >

how much does a ryzen 7 1800 cost used?

[vapid smelt]

I would imagine under 60

[spice sand]

Hexa-core CPUs are 6 cores right

[night heron]

yes

[slender minnow]

is 650w psu enough for a rx 6700 guys

non XT model

[night heron]

yes

[slender minnow]

for 499 cad is it a good deal?

it's cheaper than 3060 in canada

[night heron]

what does a 6700xt cost for you

[slender minnow]

like 599 and above

the non xt is 499

[night heron]

it’s just normal price

not a deal not a rip off

[steady pebble]

Hi!

[slender minnow]

maybe i should get that instead of a 3060

[austere rampart]

I hate it

seems very bugged

5g has many versions

short, mid, and wide bands

[lucid echo]

Well duh your window is blocking the signal 🙄

[night heron]

the fastest version only covers like one street block

the mid band is noticeably faster than lte

and the widest band is basically identical to lte

i’ve gotten like 550mbit from the midband in a test before

you may not even be getting your 5g signal from that tower you’re parked next to

[unique roost]

People who shit on Linux don't know how to use Linux and don't want to learn (which is fine). People who praise Linux to high heaven are masochists

[limpid fern]

poor tom

[tame rain]

Why

[lucid echo]

That's so unnecessary

[molten drift]

Yes yes it is

It's also 20,000$ USD....

[limpid fern]

linux isnt that hard to use either, like i started with mint, pretty easy

and a scammer

[tame rain]

He has valid points you can’t lie and very unvalid ones too

[molten drift]

If any guitar is the same cost as a car.... It's unnecessary

[stark rune]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cx7nXy thoughts

[unique roost]

Yeah but the point that the knowledge gap between simple settings and trying to do something a tiny bit more complicated can be ridiculously wide is completely true

[lucid echo]

The "valid points" are a ruse to trap you into toxic mindsets.

[tame rain]

Ok

It’s still true

Nah calling Linux a meme is a meme

[tame rain]

I don’t believe everything he says is true

[molten drift]

Pretty sure any one with misogynist points of view is not worth listening to in my point of view

[unique roost]

No one with a good tech stack in the industry uses Windows

[lucid echo]

You shouldn't be listening to him at all. Find a healthier source of that information

[limpid fern]

callin linux a meme a meme is a meme

[tame rain]

I don’t waste my time on him I only know what he does and who he is because of TikTok

[molten drift]

Bad news Brian is a meme :)

[limpid fern]

🤦‍♂️

[tame rain]

I agree that you gotta be a loser to follow him all the time

[limpid fern]

hes a prior substance dealer and now a scam artist

[lucid echo]

to follow him at all

[tame rain]

I just said

[lucid echo]

Giving him any credence makes you a loser

[tame rain]

💀

It ain’t that deep either just ignore him

[limpid fern]

except the ones that make memes outta him

[dusky egret]

Also maybe consider a 900W PSU, it’s recommended for the SKU of 6900XT that you chose

It's my favorite cereal followed by frosted cherios

[limpid fern]

i dont like milk with my cereal

[stark rune]

i know nothing about pc but why doe sthe part piker say the wattz is about 600 but u recommend 900

[keen shore]

I have cereal with water after i swallowed a milk zombie that occasionally wakes up

[limpid fern]

also music is 2 of my jobs

so yes i dabble

[dusky egret]

Meanwhile I have 2 separate music streaming subscriptions lmao

[limpid fern]

which 2?

[dusky egret]

Spotify, YouTube Music

[molten drift]

I'm traveling to a state with no sales tax to buy a guitar tomorrow lol

Stuck between which to get lol

[limpid fern]

why do you pay for spotify? existing playlists or vise versa

[keen shore]

dabble dabble do's (flintstones joke)

[limpid fern]

thats yabba dabba doooo

[lucid echo]

Spotify & Tidal here

I guess YT Premium if that counts

[lucid echo]

No ads

[keen shore]

listen an artificial superintelligence sides with my way

[dusky egret]

Spotify for the discoverability, playlists, social aspects and UI, YT music for the larger library of more obscure stuff.

I did the trick of getting them from cheaper countries

[limpid fern]

yea i technically have 4, but i only pay for 2 of them, i pay for youtube premium and deezer then my friends forced me into their subscription for spotify and my work pays for i tunes

[lucid echo]

Tidal gang. Pays artists well. Better algorithm. High-fidelity.

[dusky egret]

Apple Music has lossless as well though

[lucid echo]

Tidal pays artists a LOT more, especially with the payment updates this year

[limpid fern]

they forced me to use a mac and itunes

[limpid fern]

yea thats why i dont like spotify

[dusky egret]

Like 99cents a song iTunes?

I had no idea that was still going

[lucid echo]

Your subscription goes to only the artists you listen to, instead of being thrown into a giant pot for the massive artists to siphon some away. Also, 10% of your subscription goes straight to your most-listened artist that month.

[limpid fern]

sorry i mean apple music

[dusky egret]

Wow that’s huge for smaller artists

[limpid fern]

id move to tidal but i have over a hundred playlists on deezer

[lucid echo]

https://www.tunemymusic.com/

[limpid fern]

yo

thx it keep that for the end of the month

[lucid echo]

You can transfer playlists between Deezer & Tidal automatically
I did that for Spotify. It tells you which songs are missing too (not many, mostly exclusives)

[lucid echo]

You won't regret it. The crediting system is great too. I can see who remixed/produced/mastered/wrote a certain song, and see all their other music on their own page on the app.

Great for tracks with guest singers/producers who aren't explicitly credited in the title

[limpid fern]

ik i just diddnt know i could move my playlists

[zenith idol]

Hi guys, done something stupid, ran a batch file to get rid of spotify adverts a year or 2 ago, it worked, but now i reinstalled spotify today because i bought Premium and now it's saying a firewall is blocking it, i'm 99% sure it's the ad blocker but how do i get rid of it??

Pics in #tech-support

[limpid fern]

ezblocker?

[zenith idol]

Idk what I used, don't know how to undo it now

[limpid fern]

it might show up in programs

[zenith idol]

Tried to look

[limpid fern]

not there?

[foggy yarrow]

is windows 11 worth it rn?

i could upgrade in the settings, but idk

[limpid fern]

from what ive seen it can be a hit or miss

[dusky egret]

Pro tip: don’t get an iOS beta version before checking that your banking app supports it

[limpid fern]

did you make that mistake?

[dusky egret]

Yep, and now I’m SOL because the website’s 2FA requires the app as well

[limpid fern]

F

welp no more banking 4 u

[dusky egret]

They’ve said they’ll fix it in 2 weeks :/

[limpid fern]

go socialise at the physical bank

[dusky egret]

There’s actually a branch like 100m from my apartment, but I haven’t been in a bank since I opened the account, I genuinely have no idea how in person banking works lmao

[limpid fern]

from my limited experience theres usualy some guy in his 60-80s willing to walk you through it

[dusky egret]

Sounds kinda comforting ngl

[keen shore]

note: the following is a totally unrelated loser's tirade about a love affair with compressed media
the older encoding scheme had artists bake their mix for a compressed target/mixdown.
I kind of feel weird listening to those flac files. it robs me of that very carefully designed experience, and makes me wonder f the new compressed files are drawn from a hires master or done the way the artist wanted it.

[limpid fern]

alr i gtg c yall tomorrow!

[tardy ivy]

Hey how is everyone

[vapid smelt]

@full fossil hope you are feeling well today

[topaz loom]

Hey Guys, I am currently working as a mechanical engineer, and also have experience as a drafter. I am wanting to get into the tech field for work, but have little or no experience, and am trying to decide what field/area I should go for. Does anyone have any advice for me?

[warped narwhal]

barely, and gets blocked by your hand

[unique roost]

Chip packaging and board design typically looks for mechanical engineering

Consumer devices is a super competitive field but worth going for as well

Mostly modeling behavior under mechanical and thermal stress

[topaz loom]

I see, so another concern is i am unable to relocate from where I currently live. Will this make things more difficult?

[unique roost]

Fatigue failure etc

Well where are you located? Idk how much the positions offer remote because most likely you'd have to do lab work

[topaz loom]

yeah thats the worry. I live in a suburb near Tulsa Oklahoma

[unique roost]

Yeah probably not going to find much

[topaz loom]

Tulsa is an oil town with not much for tech

[unique roost]

Closest would be Austin TX

[topaz loom]

right, that was my worry. so this is why I was considering doing some type of retraining. However, I am unsure of the direction to go if I do this

[unique roost]

Big semiconductor regions are research triangle NC, Austin/Dallas, bay area, San Diego

[unique roost]

For a remote position? Software engineering

[topaz loom]

yeah the closest of those is still 8 hours away

[unique roost]

You'll need to put in at least a year or two of work/study if you have no experience

[topaz loom]

okay so any advice to get into software engineering?

[unique roost]

Don't believe the code boot camp hype

[topaz loom]

yeah that is the concern. So do I need to go for a degree at my university?

Or are there other options for me to gain the knowledge/experience I would need?

[unique roost]

No but asking if you can audit intro level cs classes wouldn't be a bad idea

[unique roost]

Personal projects demonstrating skills are what would get recruiters to notice you

[topaz loom]

cs classes? sorry not sure what you mean by audit

[unique roost]

You pay to sit and listen and can do the work but no degree credit

[topaz loom]

oh I see. Is this just a cheaper way to gain the same experience?

[unique roost]

Yeah

Look it up at your local university because policies vary

[topaz loom]

okay I see, so I would also look at their list of classes for software engineering to know what ones I want to look into?

[unique roost]

Look at their computer science bachelor's degree website and aim to audit the intro level courses if you have no experience

You could also use online classes on Coursera and stuff

I know Harvard's class is pretty popular

It'd be free but I don't think you get feedback

[topaz loom]

I think MIT might have a similar online course set

[unique roost]

Yeah worth checking out

There's no right solution unless you're a fresh high school grad going into college

[topaz loom]

yeah, definetly not lol

[unique roost]

Then you do cs or ee and do internships

[topaz loom]

thanks for the help @unique roost

[unique roost]

Np

Python and JavaScript are decent starter languages, but you'll have more opportunity if you learn Java and C and really work to understand the algorithms and data structures

[topaz loom]

I see, I think I will just start with Java and C then. Even if it is more difficult I would rather learn the more widely used ones

[iron hatch]

hey, i bought this mic. and its not working in fortnite lol.

i plugged it in on the top of my pc. Am i doing this correctly?

[dusky egret]

[fallen marten]

Linus tech tips

Start throwing me interesting stuff

[fossil frost]

thats bad advice... javascript and python are decent starter languages because they are easy to pick up, and easy to find junior jobs in too... learning C or Java wont get you more opportunities at all now as jobs in both are becoming much more rare... the modern languages such as C# or Swift are where all the opportunities are right now

[lilac sage]

Carbon

[fossil frost]

carbon isnt a language yet, its a concept

there is no tool chain or solid set of rules for it yet

[unique roost]

Sorry, learn JavaScript and python if you want to do more webdev related things. Java and C for more backend and lower level

[stoic beacon]

C# and Javascript are your launching points. Branch out from there.

[fossil frost]

learn C if you wanna do embedded development... thats all C is still used for these days. javascript and python will let you write many many different backend or frontend applications that perform well... java just doesnt perform well, and is only now really used in mainstream as part of android development. modern languages are taking over because of their ease of use and increasing performance

[unique roost]

Mfw someone says Java doesn't perform well

[fossil frost]

tbh, learn a C based language, like C#, or java, or objective c, or c++, or almost all languages that arent python... and you will be able to very quickly pick up any other languages in the C based syntax family

[unique roost]

It's not that much slower

[dusky egret]

I saw a job posting on LinkedIn that required 5-10 years of Carbon experience lmaooo

[unique roost]

But yes that's the primary reason to learn Java not to actually use Java

Learn oop concepts and become familiar with c style syntax

[fossil frost]

recruiters are sales people who failed in sales jobs.. they see a shiny new word and throw it in to their specs

[unique roost]

Nah it just got turned into a meme

That was definitely a joke post. Carbon isn't even used in anything

[fossil frost]

they do it with everything, they did it when swift was released, they did it when .net was first released, they do it every time

[vapid smelt]

[full fossil]

my lian li pc fans don’t spin when i turn my pc on

so the cpu overheats and shuts down the pc

what do i do

[vapid smelt]

just turn on the fans

[inland oracle]

are they plugged in

in the correct things too

[stray apex]

that has nothing to do with the fans

did you remove the plastic from the cpu cooler block?

and add thermal paste, and tighten the cooler properly?

[inland oracle]

how does that have nothing to do with the fans, if the cpu is in a box with no airflow or cooling its gonna overheat

[vapid smelt]

have you tried building the computer correctly

[stray apex]

the pc is not immediately going to thermal throttle hard enough to emergency shutdown because the fans don't spin

[inland oracle]

where did he say immediately

[dusky egret]

Depends on how quickly it’s overheating. If you’re struggling to get past startup then you probably have no contact between the IHS and cooler

[stray apex]

it would have to be immediately, because otherwise it would just throttle really hard

cpus are perfectly capable of dealing with really shit thermals

they just can't deal with having no thermals at all

[inland oracle]

which is what is happening? none of his fans are spinning so there are no thermals

[dusky egret]

Plus if your case fans are working, your heat sink is still getting some airflow

[stray apex]

uh, no

there's still natural airflow and radiation

the heatsink will still have thermal mass

unless the problem is like, the PC suddenly shuts down after booting into windows, which doesn't sound like a thermal issue at all

[vapid smelt]

if you had a blue name this wouldn't be a problem

[lucid echo]

At this point I’m convinced Bramsey is just a troll who thinks up the weirdest take possible then fucks off

[young bloom]

no

[vapid smelt]

im 98.97% sure you right

[young bloom]

im not buy a 60usd game for pilot role

microsoft flight simulator expensive

[topaz ridge]

I mean they technically do create more heat but they help push out hot air

[vapid smelt]

tf its not from a game lamo your not a real ltt fan

[young bloom]

i am joking its youtube alternative

however 40% of people here for tech support

[lucid echo]

No it’s a form a transportation dummy

[young bloom]

Ok

[dusky egret]

I find Nebula to be better value for me ngl

[lucid echo]

You have to buy an actual hydroplane to get a blue name

[hearty spear]

And then donate the plane to LMG

[vapid smelt]

85% of people in techsupport have very easily googable questions

[young bloom]

indeed

[hearty spear]

I was about to say.... 8% lolwut?

[stoic beacon]

This is why we don't feed the help vampires

[lucid echo]

Or you can teach them good researching skills because, ya know, they’re usually children

[vapid smelt]

could someone come in #tech-support to help me 👶

[hearty spear]

but most of them don't like hearing "If you google XXXXXX it'll give you the answer"

[lucid echo]

If they whine then Bad Sanic comes out easy enough

[molten drift]

Given their harassment towards me in dms yes

[lucid echo]

Oh shit really?

[molten drift]

Dming me cause I'm a girl

[hearty spear]

ugh. Humans fuckin' suck

[stoic beacon]

Uhh, that's when you send screenshots to the mods. LTT community doesn't put up with that stuff.

[molten drift]

I gave up

[lucid echo]

Pretty sure that’s bannable

[stoic beacon]

They didn't do anything?

[molten drift]

It was like a week ago I blocked them and deleted.

I get so much stuff in dms from random servers. I literally have been so defeated.

[stoic beacon]

Don't give up on reporting them though, because even though they're blocked for you, they still can harass lots of other people

[molten drift]

It's too late I don't have screenshots

[iron hatch]

Any opinions on the HD 350BT? Wireless headphones?

[stoic beacon]

That's alright, but going forward whenever people bother you like that, don't give up on reporting them...if everybody goes hard on it, eventually, those people will be left behind, alone, in empty Discords, with no more tech tips 😦

[molten drift]

I just want my depression to lighten up it's been kicking me extra hard this week to the point I'm debating calling out of work tomorrow for a 3 day weekend to clear my head.

[vapid smelt]

clearly you need to get a cat

[molten drift]

No more pets after my last one

Also cats hate my existence I'm a dog gal lol

[finite cloud]

Anyone here know what a computer is?

[finite cloud]

Yeah I have that one

[lucid echo]

Should gotten better ram this build is trash

[stoic beacon]

You'd never know it, but there's FAR more RGB on this computer than any computer I've seen in this Discord so far

[molten drift]

I would love to have that not functioning just as like furniture....

[finite cloud]

You can get an old IBM super computer lol

Mainframe* I couldn’t remember the name

[full fossil]

it’s an aio and i did everything you said

[stoic beacon]

Ah, but you didn't get a blue name, he did say to do that too

[full fossil]

wha

my gpu fans don’t spin too

[lucid echo]

That’s normal

[full fossil]

i don’t know if the aio pump is working

cpu is 89 degrees

[stoic beacon]

Idle or under load?

[full fossil]

idle

in bios

[stoic beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/terminator-okay-thumbs-up-melt-lava-gif-9214446

[full fossil]

i didn’t even install windows yet

none of my fans work

idk if the aio is running

[stoic beacon]

And you plugged everything in?

[dusky egret]

Put your head right next to the pump, should be a light gurgling noise

[full fossil]

i don’t hear anything

[full fossil]

pretty sure

i wired it in the lian li hub and connected it to cha_fan3 and usb

[stoic beacon]

I would go back to the manual and double check all of your plugins. The motherboard manual, specifically

[full fossil]

okay

[vapid smelt]

i would just build it right the first time #HelpFullCoopa

[full fossil]

do i leave the cpu fan pins empty

[full fossil]

idk what’s wrong 💀

[dusky egret]

Unlikely that the AIO and the fans are DOA, it’s more likely that the motherboard is being persnickety

[full fossil]

i must have done something wrong

[lucid echo]

Have you sent pics of the fans plugged in?

Can’t post them here but you can share them in #tech-support

[full fossil]

okay

[full fossil]

which part of the fan?

to the motherboard or the fan controller

[lucid echo]

The cables plugged in

[stoic beacon]

Both probably.

[lucid echo]

I’m gonna take a while guess that the fan controller isn’t powered

SATA power cable is just dangling somewhere

[stoic beacon]

Would that explain the GPU fans then?

Ah, wait, nevermind lol. Brain just turned back on.

[lucid echo]

Silent Mode GPU

[vapid smelt]

his gpu is dead he should send it to me

[lucid echo]

Convo has shifted to #tech-support but I’m gonna go cook dinner y’all have fun in there

[brave flare]

hello

[vapid smelt]

can i have some?

[lucid echo]

I’m making chili dogs

#tech-support message
@vapid smelt @stoic beacon can y’all make any sense of this

[stoic beacon]

I saw it, but it looks more like an abstract art piece than a PC to me :/

[vapid smelt]

mess

[lucid echo]

Is it just me or did he couple two devices needing power into each other rather than actually powering them?

Oh nvm

[full fossil]

the hub had two cables so i plugged them both into the psu cable

[lucid echo]

Wonder if people will stop whining now

[stoic beacon]

I was promised something with much more complicated wording in several pages...

Canceling my order immediately

[lucid echo]

Lmao

I know you’re joking but there’s 1000% gonna be a legalese version of this

[stoic beacon]

Oh yeah, they have to

I was a CPA for about 9 years before becoming a game developer...some of the forms you have to read through are nightmarish.

56 page loan agreement that has one paragraph with important information. And of that 7 sentence paragraph, only 3 sentences apply to the actual borrower.

"Pay X each month, Pay Y by this month, if you pay ahead of time, pay Z penalty, and your interest rate is F." 56 pages.

[lucid echo]

I used to do freelance data science for an insurance company so I’m familiar

[vapid smelt]

the lizard company?

[lucid echo]

Nah, more exciting. It was an insurer of bars, strip clubs, and venues

[molten drift]

I mean I'm sitting here working for a different insurance company lol

We handle elderly patients medicare insurance... We're required per the government to be here till 8... My last call was at 4:40 it's now 6:52

[vapid smelt]

but dinner time

[molten drift]

My dinner will be a cup of easy Mac with a slice of ham and slice of cheese at 8pm.eadtern.

Eastern...

Because I have to physically make myself eat or my friends will get mad at me cause when I get depressed I just loose my drive to even eat.

[gentle slate]

How bad would it be to unplug my front case fan

It's been rattling for awhile at random and is obnoxiously noisy

[vapid smelt]

have you tried hitting it?

[molten drift]

Well I would recommend doing so when the system is off

[gentle slate]

I have

Temporarily stops it. Then it rattles again

[molten drift]

And getting a new fan as loosing air flow can be detrrmdntal

[gentle slate]

awww man

[vapid smelt]

seems like your too weak then

[gentle slate]

the case is dented

how much harder should I punch it?

[vapid smelt]

is it a good case?

[molten drift]

Until your fist passes through the wall behind the PC case....

(don't do as I said I am not held liable for damage to property or personal injury including harm death or emotional harm )

[gentle slate]

Uhh idk. Linus seemingly liked it

[dusky egret]

Is it the fan itself or the fan hitting the case

[gentle slate]

the fan

[molten drift]

Less than 3380 seconds to the end of my shift!

[gentle slate]

[dusky egret]

Could be a busted bearing

[vapid smelt]

that's nearly a decade old

[gentle slate]

if it aint broken dont fix it.
