I sure forgot you were Australian lmao

It's 7am rn here kek

[manic torrent]

I spent so much on portable crap so I can play games in the lounge

could have bought a second PC wayyyy cheaper 🙂

[pearl sun]

When i boot up windows it shows me a BSoD that my PC doesn't have a Kernel but that's because it boots up "for some reason" on my HDD

[manic torrent]

oh, because you're booting from the wrong device, and/or it's confused about your stuff

[graceful burrow]

Are the spiders in aus as big as we (in usa) think they are

[manic torrent]

surely google would sort you out.

[pearl sun]

And Apparently idk how but my HDD and SSD has Microsoft Reserved Space and i only need That in my SSD

[manic torrent]

yeah pretty much. Orb weavers are freakin huge

[pearl sun]

It isn't that's why i am here

[manic torrent]

either you haven't tried very hard, or you REALLY suck at describing your problem

[pearl sun]

i suck at describing my problem

[graceful burrow]

The irony is ten minutes ago you said you hated going into #tech-support but here you are anyway

[pearl sun]

i can explain well in a vc tho

[slim yacht]

need more tea

[pearl sun]

i wish anthony could help me out here 😭

but i can't tag him can i

[graceful burrow]

Make more tea

[pearl sun]

make coffee instead

[graceful burrow]

Not unless you want a quick warning from warship

[slim yacht]

im out of tea until tomorrow man

[graceful burrow]

Bruh rip

[slim yacht]

theres coffee. i dont drink coffee

[pearl sun]

oof

[slim yacht]

i like coffee dont get me wrong, but the effect it gives
got my heart pumping blood while i feel like shit

[pearl sun]

#tech-support

i did explained well this time

[coral verge]

Guys what do you think of the rtx 40 series and gaming?

Do you think game developers are gonna need more powerful machines

Or same old

[night heron]

i’m sure game studios upgrade their hardware regularly

[ocean narwhal]

How good is 40 series supposed to be?

I haven't seen any leak stuff

[night heron]

rtx 3090: 10496 cuda cores, 1695mhz boost clock
rtx 4090: 16384 cuda cores, 2520mhz boost clock

[ocean narwhal]

Wowie

And how many watts 🙂

[night heron]

[ocean narwhal]

Anyways I guess it depends on the studio

[night heron]

i don’t think game studios use consumer hardware anyway

[ocean narwhal]

It's definitely not required for every developer on a game to need mega fast hardware

[gentle slate]

Okayyyy front fan is getting plugged back in despite it being noisy. It still blows air and without it my SSD reached 75C

[night heron]

i feel that, i think one of my servers fans are dying

too lazy to open it tho

[ocean narwhal]

I saw on a notification that supposedly Nvidia is launching only 4090 and not even 4080 at first

That's bonkers that people actually buy 90 tier cards

[coral verge]

Think about it gaming can't get any better I think the metaverse stuff will be worked on more now

Bc I don't thing we gonna need 1 million frames

But we are gonna need more in vr

[neon crag]

Good morning, I wanted to ask you for an opinion: I recently bought an iPad Pro and since I use it to do a lot of heavy work and multitasking that consume a lot of battery, I wanted to use the iPad in charge to preserve its battery. However, I am concerned that the heat generated by stress and battery charging will ruin the battery more than charging cycles do. Any opinions?

[coral verge]

Welp batteries die even nothing is being used

If u are utilising it its fine but I don't think u have much to worry about

[neon crag]

I know, but I really stress my iPad battery, is it better to use it on charge?

[coral verge]

Using it on charge welp for me I think it's not healthy but I use my laptop on charge all the time

So no they built that for to handle it

[neon crag]

I see, thank u!

[coral verge]

As long as its not hot

Or in a hot place

[neon crag]

I’ll use my laptop base cooler xD

[coral verge]

Don't forget I'm not a professional

I'm using simple logic

[neon crag]

Me too, i just wanted one more opinioni

Thanks

[marble sleet]

I just crashed Scrap Mechanic...

[ocean narwhal]

Need a seat belt

[manic torrent]

Huzzah

Off camera: my 6600xt egpu

[graceful burrow]

Tkl

[manic torrent]

Yep. Low profile

[graceful burrow]

Sorry to hear

Ah rip that laptop key tho

[sterile swallow]

hello

is this a server for the big boyz?

[manic torrent]

No. Server for small peens only

[graceful burrow]

Depends on what your definition is

[manic torrent]

Key is fine. Frame is broken :) new one in the post

[gentle spruce]

3cms pretty big right?

[night heron]

seems pretty average

[sterile swallow]

wtf

someone help

[graceful burrow]

Poggos

[night heron]

oh coo my monitor delivered

i’ll grab it off the porch when i go home for lunch

[sterile swallow]

nice

[manic torrent]

I actually bought a whole kB.... But it has the wrong switch frame style, because dell.

[graceful burrow]

Love Dell.

[night heron]

dell be like

[graceful burrow]

Built a simple pc yesterday

[manic torrent]

H510 makes me want to self terminate, but won't matter for that build

[graceful burrow]

That isn't an h510 but I agree regardless

That's a fractal pop air kek

And it's entire front panel is mesh

[manic torrent]

Is there a difference?

[graceful burrow]

Yes kek

[manic torrent]

I mean it's probably nicer

[graceful burrow]

Hard to be worst than a 510

[brittle nova]

are there any vcs in this server that i cant see or nah

[graceful burrow]

Floatplane has two

I bet the admins have some that even we can't see as well

[brittle nova]

hmm

[graceful burrow]

Oh floatplane only has one now

It used to have two I think

[brittle nova]

I kinda needed help with something thats akk

*all

[graceful burrow]

If it's a tech support question then #tech-support

[brittle nova]

yeah ig that works cheers

[blazing linden]

so who is using that samsung odyssey arc this weekend? 😂

[lucid echo]

No one uses it anyway

[graceful burrow]

Bad is subjective

And relative

[lucid echo]

In what context?

[night heron]

ehhh

it’s the very definition of “ok”

it’s the default expected ppi for windows

[graceful burrow]

Yeah it's bog standard kek

It's not bad it just is

Probably just a shitty monitor tbh

[night heron]

yeah there’s a lot more to displays than just ppi

[craggy oyster]

uh yeah, how to i set this up?, there is a "myth" that if you dont connect 2 pins it starts acting as a keyboard forever and becomes useless

[graceful burrow]

Nop
Don't ask me

[night heron]

most computer monitors look like ass in comparison to tvs

[graceful burrow]

I don't use arduinos

[night heron]

because they’re matte tn or ips panels in comparison to glossy va panels in tvs

the contrast is like 1/5 that of your average tv

[lucid echo]

Never heard of this pin thing

[night heron]

i’ve never looked into arduino

[graceful burrow]

I use picos for my microcontrollers

[lucid echo]

My only complaint of arduino is their weird butchered form of C++

[graceful burrow]

I just use micropython with the pico kek

Python easy

I should definitely learn c though

[lucid echo]

It’s my fav. Throw shit together way faster

There’s ways to get py on arduino but I never messed with it

[full fossil]

netfliz down?

[graceful burrow]

Never heard of it

[craggy oyster]

I have the arduino uno and arduino leonardo7

[full fossil]

omeglul now it wörks

[graceful burrow]

👍

[craggy oyster]

and mostly no clue how to program them

[full zinc]

Is there ab app that can work almost like Noise Cancelling Headphones?

[lucid echo]

No

[craggy oyster]

i have the project book for uno but no getting started guide for leonardo

[lucid echo]

IIRC they are programmed about the same, but just have different endpoints/features

Just be sure to suffix any google searches with 'leonardo'

[craggy oyster]

can you please define "suffix", i am not native english

[stoic beacon]

Include it at the end of your search so that relevant search terms come up

[lucid echo]

example: "how to control relay arduino leonardo"

[craggy oyster]

all right

[static scroll]

Hello

[polar pine]

🤔

[static scroll]

Hi rcmaehl

[polar pine]

Bonjour

[static scroll]

I have something for you

[feral wedge]

Yes that is a real GPU. It just uses a custom '16'X slot that can be inserted into 16X slots or the slot it's meant for but 16X GPU'S can't go into that slot.

[polar pine]

Yeah, saw a video on it

But wew

[feral wedge]

Soon we need 32X slot GPU'S.

[polar pine]

Non-sense. PCIe 4.0 GPUs aren't even using the full x8 yet

[feral wedge]

I'm telling you PCIe won't be enough.

[feral wedge]

We're on 6.0 now.

Moving onto 7.0 on next GPU'S or the ones after.

We'll need 32X really soon.

[polar pine]

No no. I'm fully ready for PCIe 7.0 x1 GPUs

[lucid echo]

Only the highest end ones do

In specific workloads

[feral wedge]

Such as a geforce 10.2

[polar pine]

But yeah, let's jump up to higher PCIe revisions and upgrade GPUs. I want to see a 64 gamers 1 computer video from LTT from bifurcating 64 PCIe 6 x2 GPUs

[pine bane]

Thoughts on iMovie? I opened it for the first time in over a decade

[analog jungle]

Im confused

What the hecc is that

[indigo charm]

Guys how can I tell if my graphics card will fit in my pc

I have all my parts in except my graphics card ( which I’m putting in later)

[polar pine]

Google case name "gpu clearance"

[granite tinsel]

between the PS1, N64, and sega saturn, which was the most powerful 5th-gen console?

[polar pine]

Saturn if you go by emulation difficulty

There's a lot of custom chips so it can be hard to compare apples to apples

[upbeat ridge]

Tren

It’s on time for once

[fresh wave]

nice train

[upbeat ridge]

I’m honestly surprised shakes fist to DB

But I’m going to Prague the cheaper way

So a stopping service to the border, then the EuroCity that comes from the station I came from, but this little manoeuvre saves me 10 euro

[spiral kraken]

lemme guess, proprietary oem bullshit

[feral wedge]

Not really. It was mostly used as displayout but for work environments and stuff.

It's why that one had serial.

It was semi-OEM, Yes. But it wasn't as bad as dells and shit.

[hearty spear]

you're nuts.

[feral wedge]

I'm not. Think about it. More vram = more data needed to power it.

[hearty spear]

We don't even have gen 5 GPUs still

[feral wedge]

We have gen6 PCIe though.

[hearty spear]

okay, and? We have no peripherals to support it.

[lucid echo]

And no GPUs to even come close to that bandwidth

[feral wedge]

There are literally GPU's that support PCIE6.0???

[hearty spear]

A 3090 barely saturates PCIE 4.0 x8, let alone a full x16!
What do you think doubling that speed is going to do

[hearty spear]

no, no there aren't.

[feral wedge]

Oh my god brb

[hearty spear]

RTX 4000's are only PCIE 4 still.

AMD's RX 5000's might be the first gen 5 cards, but I'd be shocked if they even saturated a PCIE4 x16 link still.

[lucid echo]

Pcie 6.0 was just defined this year, and there's always 1-2 years before any hardware supports a newly-defined standard

[feral wedge]

Crap I was thinking of gddr6

USB is the worst offender of confusing names

I hate USB now.

What

[hearty spear]

What does that have to do with GDDR6 or PCIE6? None of which have confusing names?

[cursive condor]

watch this

[hearty spear]

no

[feral wedge]

Never said it did?

[cursive condor]

the chair is legendary

[cursive condor]

you will miss the chair otherwise

[polar pine]

What is the speed of DDR5 anyway

[cursive condor]

chair gang

[hearty spear]

bummer.
Okay I'm now over it.

[polar pine]

Is PCIe fast enough to put DRAM on the PCIe bus so we can finally get rid of DRAM slots

[cursive condor]

you need to see the vergil real life chair

[hearty spear]

not even remotely

[hearty spear]

never. And your continued typing is only making me less likely to ever click.

[cursive condor]

the chair will haunt you the rest of your life

[feral wedge]

C o n c r e t e

[cursive condor]

but it can be your friend too

[hearty spear]

so about needing PCIE 7 GPUs?

cuz you were awfully fuckin' confident 5 minutes ago

[lucid echo]

They were mistaken and owned up to it, I think it's time to move on

[feral wedge]

I said 'soon needing pcie30x slot GPU's'

Not needing pcie 7.

Now move on.

[hearty spear]

We also can't have x32 slots on consumer products. And unless something changes dramatically, we never will.

[lucid echo]

The move is to always increase per-lane bandwidth rather than adding more lanes

But even the 3090Ti can't saturate gen4 x16

Not even close

[feral wedge]

Then again we could also move towards using the entirety of the 16x slot first and then moving to the most bandwidth on the 16x slot.

[cursive condor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxrQ3SqSt6Q&ab_channel=D’StarDeemz

[hearty spear]

not if you fuckin' paid me.

[feral wedge]

Unrelated

[lucid echo]

Stop reposting this

[hearty spear]

Well, maybe if you paid me enough. What're you offering as payment for me to click on the link?

[cursive condor]

i am just vibing

[cursive condor]

nothing

its a meme

[night heron]

id like to see a gpu parry a twelve pound sledge hammer

[hearty spear]

You are just an idiot. And memeing is not allowed on this server.

[night heron]

i meme quite frequently so i don’t think that’s true

[cursive condor]

what since when

[molten drift]

I really can't wait to learn more of am5.. I decided to get the new platform upgrade over a guitar or bass espically with my handicap.

[cursive condor]

yeah ik

[night heron]

oh you mean posting meme videos yeah i don’t do that

[feral wedge]

I mean it's not explicitly against the rules. It's just kinda more so "hey don't spam and be random"

Nor post random vids cough cough

[hollow jackal]

Read this channel's description lol

[cursive condor]

i didnt spam

[hearty spear]

4. Do not spam, shitpost, troll, or advertise. This includes (but is not limited to) gameservers unrelated to LTT (eg. private Minecraft servers), low-quality content (such as memes or recycled posts, etc), general spam, religion, and politics. If you're not sure your post is allowed, it likely isn't.

[molten drift]

Rule 4 specifically mentions memes ..

[feral wedge]

Ok I never said you did.

[hollow jackal]

Also this channel specifically

The chat for all things related. No memes or shitposting. If it's not related to this topic, it doesn't belong here.

[feral wedge]

"low-quality" clearly means 144p images.

[cursive condor]

ahh

k

[hearty spear]

also as @hollow jackal mentioned: It's literally in the channel description

[ocean narwhal]

If only I had permissions to post no memes in general discord mod gif 😔

[feral wedge]

You can post the link and call it a rickroll

[cursive condor]

bruh true

k

[lucid echo]

Don't be weird

Be normal

[feral wedge]

Go bye bye now

[cursive condor]

bye

[hearty spear]

AM5 seems like it's gonna be awesome

[cursive condor]

k

[molten drift]

I hope it Will I'm trying to get a nice preformance buff compared to my 3600 and 16gb 3200speed

[hearty spear]

I'm sure it will, but I'd be cautious about being an early adopter. There's always some early pains.

[feral wedge]

7000 series will be so cool

[night heron]

surprisingly i had no issues using first gen ryzen as an early adopter

i never had usb or ram issues

[hearty spear]

Talking about the 7000 is gonna get weird, when both the CPUs and GPUs will be in the same numbering range

7900? CPU OR GPU?

[stoic beacon]

They'll probably do another reset and confuse everybody again for a few months

[hearty spear]

but we already know that both the CPUs and GPUs are both 7000's. And 7900's for both are confirmed.

[lucid echo]

Is the GPU confirmed to be 7000 series? I wouldn't be surprised if they did 8000

[feral wedge]

Well no, Xt end-fix. For example; 7950XT.

[lucid echo]

Ah nvm

[stoic beacon]

I mean moving forward from here

[hearty spear]

Except there are Non-XT and XT GPUs

Just like there are both X and Non-X CPUs

[feral wedge]

Rx pre-fix. (Rx6800XT)

And also RX6900XT

[hearty spear]

not everyone spells it out. If I mention 6950 in convo? It's a GPU. If I mention 5800, it's probably a CPU.

[lucid echo]

Yeah I was about to say, gone are the days of listing specs by numbers only

[willow patrol]

I think you mean Suffix or something

[lucid echo]

3900/3090/32
Pretty clear what I'm saying

[stoic beacon]

I mean, if you say RXC3P0, I still know which CPU you're talking about, I'll know it's not a GPU

[feral wedge]

Pre-fix and suffix are synonyms.

Pre means before.

[willow patrol]

Sorry I read the wrong thing

[feral wedge]

Oh it's fine.

[willow patrol]

But suffix is an antonym of prefix

Such as -ing -ly

Act-ing

[feral wedge]

Then again you can just put a R before the numbers for GPU'S and a X/HX/whatever after the numbers for CPU's.

[feral wedge]

Sorry that I didn't get a good education mister entitled to rich private school.

[stoic beacon]

That's just 1st grade American public school lol

[feral wedge]

I learned that shit in like 3rd grade.

[hearty spear]

probably closer to middle school than 1st grade, but def not private school stuff

[stoic beacon]

I still remember Mrs. Wallace teaching me that in 1st grade, decades ago, with the big plastic sign things around the room

[feral wedge]

I don't remember anything from school.

[stoic beacon]

Geez, middle school??

[lucid echo]

That sounds like a personal problem

[feral wedge]

I hate school so it's a good thing.

[lucid echo]

Cringe

[stoic beacon]

Yikes

[feral wedge]

Imagine being bullied and teachers near laughing in your face

Couldn't be me smh

[stoic beacon]

So the correct statement would be "I hate bullies and bad teachers."

[feral wedge]

School didnt even remind me to go to the office to take my meds so I almost had multiple seizures while being there

[lucid echo]

This sounds like something you should be telling a therapist, not a computer discord server

[stoic beacon]

Ah, the meds help you remember to take your meds then? There's a movie like that, What's Up Doc or something, with a judge that did that lol

[feral wedge]

It's also the fact that I'm slow at learning and so I was way behind but they just kept pushing me into the next grade instead of holding me because it was for "anti-skipping"

[stoic beacon]

"The yellow pill reminds me to take the red pill." "Sir, what does the red pill do?" "I have absolutely no idea."

Sanic is right though, therapist would be a good idea

[feral wedge]

No? They were supposed to remind me to take my pills and they didn't. They had a med office inside the school.

[feral wedge]

Bad )real(

[molten drift]

I think the biggest pain is gonna be cost lol but I'm willing to shell out. Just not sure what chipset and motherboard to go with and if I want 8 or 6 core.

[feral wedge]

I want a 7950X and x570 gaming MSI version (but 5000 series version socket)

[molten drift]

You want a 7950x which... Is a 7000 series processor which is lga... But with a 5000 series pin on CPU... So you want no CPU contact?

[feral wedge]

No?

I specified 5000 series socket.

[molten drift]

5000 series socket would be am4 which the pins are on the chip the socket

[lucid echo]

Do you mean 5950X?

[feral wedge]

Wait

[molten drift]

A 7000 series have the pins on the motherboard.

[feral wedge]

Give me 1 second here

[molten drift]

So if you want a 7000 series chip that has no pins... And a 5000 series socket with no pins. How do they contact.

[feral wedge]

7000 series socket*

[lucid echo]

7950X is 7000 series yes

[molten drift]

So you want a msi... X670 gaming board....

[feral wedge]

Hold on.

[molten drift]

I'm sorry but I'm one handed I don't have all the grip strength you keep asking me for.

[feral wedge]

#screenshots

[lucid echo]

You want an X670 board

With the AM5 socket

[molten drift]

So literally what I said....

[feral wedge]

But also MSI (but cool)

[lucid echo]

Okay?

[feral wedge]

((but real))

[lucid echo]

Not imaginary?

[molten drift]

Learn to read

[lucid echo]

I want an imaginary motherboard personally

[feral wedge]

Exactly

[molten drift]

https://www.msi.com/Landing/amd-am5-x670-b650-motherboard

They exist and aren't imaginary

[feral wedge]

Yes but x670 colors and vrm and AIO

But cool.

And (((real)))

[lucid echo]

You should really avoid using parentheses like this

Clearly you don't know the connotation

[feral wedge]

((((real))))

[stoic beacon]

He can't, he hates school 😥

[molten drift]

To quote y2j " you just made the list" ((for real))

[molten drift]

He should already have reading capabilities If their 14 and on discord

Sorry for the ping slipped

[feral wedge]

(not real).

I will not give context.

[hearty spear]

You should know, that going out of your way to try and sound Macho on the LTT discord is arguably one of the world's dumbest flexes you could make. Just sayin'

[feral wedge]

Not real

(real)

[lucid echo]

I think they just want attention

[feral wedge]

No. The exact opposite. I wanna be ignored.

[stoic beacon]

#screenshots Wish granted

[hearty spear]

1. You're on discord, therefore a fuckin' nerd.
2. You're on the LTT Discord of all places, therefore a bigger fuckin' nerd.

The majority of the regular posters on here? Are already fully accepting of those facts.
I am a fuckin' nerd. End of story.

[molten drift]

So tkitch think I should camp out at micro center on launch day or night before?

[feral wedge]

Wait who said I was flexing

[feral wedge]

3 nights before just to be safe/

[hearty spear]

That seems silly, but if you really wanna lololol

[feral wedge]

Incase it's another 3080/90 launch day and they make a list.

[hearty spear]

Maybe I'll bring you something for breakfast

[lucid echo]

I'm gonna guess they're a just young kid who thinks they sound cool and wanna fit in

[neon mesa]

nerds hoping to even have a micro center (me included)

[feral wedge]

No (bad)

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, I was about to say, nearest Microcenter from me is roughly 6,000 miles :/

[molten drift]

I mean I wanna get it launch day and I don't think their site will have it online to have it online and available for reserve.

[lucid echo]

Throwback to when I was 30 mins from two different MC's

[hearty spear]

Sanic's probably entirely correct.

[hearty spear]

I'm 10-15 from one.

[molten drift]

I'm about90 mins driving to a microcenter

[feral wedge]

Sanic is wrong (real)

It can be confirmed with photosynthesis

[stoic beacon]

That's still a decent trip, what makes you go that route instead of ordering online? Unless there's something about Microcenter I don't know

[hearty spear]

For someone who doesn't want attention?
You're really bad at shutting up and not drawing it to yourself.

[lucid echo]

They'll just keep being cringe if you give them any attention

[feral wedge]

Mhm

[stoic beacon]

Right click his name and block, it cleans up the chat log nicely

[neon mesa]

no MC here but there is a computer center full of a lot of smaller independent shops
tho it's a navigational nightmare and prices are worse than online

it's good for the shopping experience

[lucid echo]

Discord's blocking system sucks ass though

[molten drift]

They have bundling discounts for the ram and motherboard that I'll need to buy with the new processor and I get 5% off or 6 months no interest with my store card.

[neon mesa]

as good online is, buying it directly physically hits different

[stoic beacon]

Better than nothing though

[lucid echo]

Debatable

[stoic beacon]

Lol

[neon mesa]

i rather not block

[molten drift]

So there's a bonus for in-store Ethan lol

[hearty spear]

I don't get to fondle my parts awkwardly in store buying online.

[stoic beacon]

The main thing I wish I had was a temporary mute for DMs instead of a full block

[lucid echo]

I just stop giving them the attention they're craving

[neon mesa]

the "blocked message" thing is attention nightmare

[neon mesa]

sounds sus

[lucid echo]

Triggers the monkey brain slot machine thoughts

[hearty spear]

intentionally sus

[molten drift]

I mean I can punch all the people with my shiny metal hand in person.

[neon mesa]

my experience buying physically
"got ripped off, would come back for more 10/10"

[stoic beacon]

Why are you camping out then? You already have too high of combat stats, you could just win fights for your hardware

[hearty spear]

I just stand around in person, making people feel awkwardly short near me.

[molten drift]

Cause ticketed purchases exist.

[stoic beacon]

Ah...you could fight the people checking the tickets too

[molten drift]

My 4'10" self Dosent appreciate that

[stoic beacon]

They probably don't have metal hands

[hearty spear]

I'm about that tall.... kneeling

[molten drift]

That's how you get arrested by the Boston police

[neon mesa]

makes me appreciate being 166CM more

[lucid echo]

The only line camping I do is to be front row at concerts

[hearty spear]

I'm 203cm give or take

[neon mesa]

that's 5'6 for the american

[neon mesa]

soo you 7 feet wtf?

[molten drift]

I camped at a chic fil a over night... Got 100 free meals for it...

[hearty spear]

6'8"

[lucid echo]

A band I like sells unique posters for each show, limited to ~150, only at the concert itself. Get a couple of those for $40 each and they resell online for ~$300. Pay for the entire trip right there. Just gotta get in line super fucking early

[neon mesa]

[hearty spear]

depends on if you mind throwing out the $ value of the product.

Oh dang. Didn't think I'd hear that name here

[hearty spear]

if you can ignore throwing out that much money? Then it's absolutely not worth it.

[neon mesa]

i don't think it's worth RMAing 15 bucks hdd when i also need to pay shipping it there

Liquid metal on the motherboard smh

I would NEVER tell people to use that

[lucid echo]

They took the computer to a repair shop to install his new CPU cooler. They offered to use liquid metal instead of thermal paste to "improve performance"

Now their motherboard is coated in liquid metal, one hour before an important work call

[hearty spear]

So, funny story, and entirely true:
I'm being moved out of my office in the near-ish future (2-3 weeks give or take?)
The upstairs office space has /really/ short cielings. The sprinkler heads up there only clear my head by about 1.5" when I stand up straight.

So I asked Maintenance if they could RAISE THE CIELING up there, along with the sprinklers. And the response? "Well, if you hit one and break it, it'd cause over 100K$ in damage... so... We'll take a look, and as long as nothing's above it, then yes, we will."

[hearty spear]

holy shit. That mobo is probably boned

[molten drift]

I mean... That's very fair lol

[lucid echo]

They tried booting it several times

It kept crashing

[hearty spear]

I legit asked because I thought he'd laugh. And he did. Then he did some math on what'd happen if I did break one.
Then he's like "yeah, we should try"

I got my Xbox 360 and xbox series x but I want an og Xbox for gauntlet legends dark legacy and. Crazy taxi sequels... And I'm sure I'll find other games.

But I would modify it with a noctua fan lol

[night heron]

wouldn’t a 360 or xbox one play those original xbox games

[molten drift]

No

Xbox 360 plays a select few og Xbox games.

And Xbox one plays a even more select few

[night heron]

oh i figured the 360 had full compatibility

[molten drift]

Nope

[night heron]

that sux

[molten drift]

It's like 110 titles with Xbox live connection on a 360

Which is how I play a bunch of my original tony hawk games.

And Sims games

But my favorite game of all time the regular gauntlet legends not dark legacy was arcade, PS1, N64 and Dreamcast only so no easy way to play that on a HDTV. So a og Xbox is my next best betm

[rancid turret]

Hello guys Im thinking about getting a laptop with 165 hertz, if I cap my game (League of Legends in this example) at 144 frames per second will I get unplayable input lag or screen tearing? Thanks in advance.

[lucid echo]

Not necessarily. There are solutions to mitigate screen tearing. Input lag is not a concern

[stoic beacon]

You don't need to worry about input lag in a Moba, especially not the amount that vertical sync would introduce...There might be better solutions though

[rancid turret]

Yeah cus I heard somewhere that its not always possible to change your refresh rate on laptops

[stoic beacon]

You'll want the refresh rate of your laptop to be set to 165hz. You shouldn't experience screen tearing at 165hz, and if you do, just cap the FPS to 144 or enable vertical sync

[rancid turret]

But maybe that person was trolling or didn’t know how to change his refresh rate (even though its easy to do lol)

[rancid turret]

Yeah I will cap my fps since its personal preference for me. I just wished Riot games added custom framerate caps

Valorant has them but League doesn’t for some reason

[stoic beacon]

It'd be cool, but given that probably close to 980,000 of their players just have a 60hz monitor, it doesn't really matter

Valorant is a significantly more competitive game, where input lag, refresh rate, and other things actually matter. It also tends to attract more intense gamers. League, not so much.

[rancid turret]

Yeah I agree with that

And I probably wont notice anything if I cap my frames to 144 and I have 165 hz

[stoic beacon]

You won't, it'll be buttery smooth, running at 144 FPS

[rancid turret]

Aight thanks brother 🙏🏼 @stoic beacon

Then give them your 2 weeks ahead of time, or at least let your manager know that you're shopping around so that they aren't left in the dust when you do move on to a new job.

[plush rivet]

[stoic beacon]

Yes, that would be the professional thing to do.

[plush rivet]

Gotcha, thanks. Now let’s say I get hired by Starbucks. if I immediately say I need to serve my 1 weeks will that be a turnoff or is that a standard practice? Sorry for the questions this is like my 2nd job like ever

I don’t wanna quit on the spot

[molten drift]

If you can give notice that's a nice thing but your not penalized for it. They don't owe you anything accept for a check.

[stoic beacon]

It won't be a turnoff, your new manager should be understanding of that and will appreciate the fact that you do that, because it means you will do the same for them when you move on from that job.

You'll burn a LOT less bridges in life living it this way.

anyone with an iphone should update to iOS 15.6.1 because Apple's shitty code had a vulnerability that was so severe it could allow malicious actors to take control of your entire phone, mac, or ipad

[vapid smelt]

Fake news iPhones are unhackable and more secure then android phones

[fluid ridge]

i would say apple has a pretty good track record compared to others in terms of security and privacy but fuck man, this is like the second time in 6 months where apple was like "yo you guys should probably update your phone because we forgot to prevent against XYZ attack that would totally steal all of your data"

[lucid echo]

I've been trying to find details on how the exploit is actually performed

[fluid ridge]

this isn't just a phone update too, i believe it's also out for ipad and macos

[lucid echo]

Often these exploits make the news because of what CAN happen if hacked, but they never disclose that, like, the hacker needs to have physical access to your device, or do a very specific, targeted, well-timed buffer overflow.

According to Apple the vulnerability could have been exploited by "processing web content", meaning accessing a web page which contained malicious code.

Any attackers that knew about the vulnerability - and how to exploit it - could, by directing a victim to such a web page, be able to execute any code they wanted on the victim's device.

Well that's not great

[stoic beacon]

Oh....yeah, that's a bad one

[lucid echo]

What's extra cool is that every iOS browser has to use Safari WebKit, so even though I'm using Firefox and not Safari, it's still vulnerable

[stoic beacon]

But it's good for all apps to have the same stuff, that's why apple good

[vapid smelt]

Does that mean other search engines have to be re-built using safari WebKit?

[lucid echo]

No just means that Chrome/Firefox/Brave on iPhone is just a reskin of Safari

it's legal if you get a ps2 and the games you want to play from second-hand markets, dump the ps2 bios and the games using the ps2 and emulate it on pcsx2

i dont understand

you need to have
1.) ps2 firmware
2.) the game files you extracted from a game disc

man thats too much work tbh

well, that's what you need to do if you want it to be "legal"

Does anyone know why windows 10 installation could have failed

[rustic grove]

disk corrupt, or formatted weird, bad iso, try a full pc reset

[pearl silo]

Did you burn the ISO to dvd?
I ask bc I did that at one point and it failed. I had to use an old disc of w10 and then have it upgraded using the OS itself.

I forget which version I was trying to burn that failed. It's on a disc marked "Winduhs Tan" lol I know not to use it

[soft swan]

Nah I just clicked upgrade this pc

It went to the blue screen install and then crashed

[molten drift]

I think that's in a different part of the world..

[pearl silo]

How old is your install? Mine should have problems but somehow doesn't and it's almost frightening. The only time it bluescreened was with a few specific scenarios when transitioning from Intel to AMD.

[soft swan]

I installed it today also by blue screen I meant it was installed the update not like an error blue screen lol

[pearl silo]

I almost wish they would use different colors for different errors.

Maybe that would cause more issues than it solves... Lol

[soft swan]

Yeah lol , I’m gonna try and restart the pc maybe

Idk what else would fix it

[pearl silo]

I always make a ghost copy before windows updates. Aomei has a boot able version of their backupper that can be burned to a live CD and it can backup and cline and stuff.

I'd suggest using that tool and making a ghost copy to experiment on with fixes like recovery media and whatnot. If you find a thing that works, then test for stability and then perhaps deploy to main drive.

Or if you don't care, grab the important stuff, take note of programs and their installers, nuke the OS and start fresh. (I only ever had to do this once. Please use caution and quadruple check you have all important files)

[manic torrent]

It was always resizable BAR, AMD went and called it SAM, and nvidia had to scramble to support it also

Because stuff is hard. Allocating resources to obsolete platforms that will be difficult to support...

Few years I bought a 1050. Then I bought a 144Hz monitor. Damnit, three months after buying the 1050 I'm now buying a 1070 because the 1050 can't drive the 144Hz monitor 😄 It gets like that sometime.

haha yep. 1660S on 1200p - bought a 34" ultrawide. 3070 - bought a 4k screen. The 3070 is JUST enough for 4k, but it's 120hz, so a 3080 would be better. No point upgrading now when new cards will drop soon enough, and nothing wrong with it

[tame rain]

Does anyone here play guitar

[stone relic]

I do, poorly.

[tame rain]

Electric?

[stone relic]

Mostly, yes.

But I have an acoustic.

I Tele, two strats and a LP Junior.

[tame rain]

I want to get a guitar but idk which one is good

[stone relic]

The first question is what's your budget (and where are you located, which will help guide that).
Then, what kind of music do you want to learn.

[hearty spear]

@molten drift may be able to help, also

[stone relic]

A strat is a great all-round choice. It's the "doesn't do anything perfectly, but does everything well" electric. If you want to play more rock or downtune, then you might want to look at something with a shorter neck instead to accommodate thicker strings.

[tame rain]

I just want to learn in general like music theory and all that

[stone relic]

Ibanez have some really common starter guitars popular with those more in to metal.

[stone relic]

Self-taught, or do you plan on having a tutor? Are you happy to pay for courses? Rick Beato's stuff is extremely good, but there's a steep start to the learning curve.

[tame rain]

What about a fender squier classic vibe 60's Stratocaster

Is that a good guitar

[stone relic]

If it is, as you say, more generic and you're keen on getting in to music theory (which, imo, is the right way), go for a strat.

For me personally, the classic vibe aren't the right feel, but they might be for you.

I started with a Squier Affinity HSS, and it's been absolutely fantastic.

[tame rain]

Wym

Whats the the difference

Between that and the 60’s

[stone relic]

different tone; different neck radiuses and pickup configurations.

[tame rain]

Oh

[stone relic]

More modern strats tend to go to a more U-shaped neck rather than a C-shape; chunkier headstock (makes zero difference than look) but has more pickup configuration options, goes for a warmer rather than a twangier tone. But you can always change pickups.

[tame rain]

Oh alright

[stone relic]

The other thing I would recommend: Go in to a store, try a few out. Figure out what feels best for you. You can't figure that out from buying online. Me, for example, I had my head set on a particular guitar for my third one, and on actually trying it out discovered I didn't like heavily lacquered and thicker necks - I really like smooth satin necks.

[molten drift]

do not learn to play guitar expecting to use it to meet girls,

squire afinity is a great starting point,

[manic torrent]

😮

[molten drift]

the classic series is a nice step up from affinity

[stone relic]

I'm currently working on a project to build myself my first own-hand-made custom Telecaster - it'll be a high-end replica of a 2004 Avril Lavigne signature Squier. Candy apple red, single Seymour Duncan JB bridge humbucker, dark rosewood fretboard.

[molten drift]

but for the affinity serires ,is a great learning tool and upgrading to a better guitar in a year or so,

[tame rain]

Before you said that I was thinking about this guy posing as Steve lacy cause of his girl 😭

[molten drift]

i would reccomend a affinity tele more, since a whammy bar just over complicates thing,

[stone relic]

The 2021/2022 Affinities are just insane in the quality of the money you're paying. For AUD469 full retail (who pays that) the new teles with the through-body string routing are just crazy good.

[tame rain]

I want to learn cause I want to

[stone relic]

This is the way.

[tame rain]

I just like learning new skills

Nothing is really gonna get you a girl like it’s all up to you and your personality

[stone relic]

So things you might want to consider. I think from memory (and I am not 100% sure) that the Classic Vibe has a thinner body than most other regular strats. This MAY make putting new pickups in it more difficult later on.

[vapid smelt]

What about harmonicas

[molten drift]

worked for bruce willis

[tame rain]

So the affinity is better?

[stone relic]

The Affinity strat definitely has a thinner body than the Fender Player Strat, that I know as I have one of each.

[stone relic]

No, the classic vibe is marketed as being a higher level than the Affinity and the price tends to reflect that - AUD469 vs 699 from meory, somewhere around that mark?

Let's have a look - are you in the US?

[molten drift]

i reccomend these over, the strat, https://www.amazon.com/Squier-Fender-Affinity-Telecaster-Butterscotch/dp/B0002GOE6S

It depends on what you want to play. Personally I have grown more fond of my Tele over my Strat, but I would still recommend a Strat for a beginner if they're intending on learning more well-rounded styles.

[molten drift]

no guitar is made for one style akashra,

[stone relic]

However I would also strongly recommend getting a 2021/22 Affinity Tele over the 20. Massive changes.

[molten drift]

besides the tele has no spring reverb bleed from trem springs, and no whammy bar to worry about tuning for a beginner,

and easier setup for a beginner

[stone relic]

The one linked above pictures a '14 model. That MAY not be what you receive though.

Tuning a tele with a trem bridge is definitely going to be easier, especially if you down-tune. I basically never use the trem arm.

[tame rain]

Y’all know a lot about guitars

[tame rain]

Yes

[stone relic]

Do you have a budget in mind?

[tame rain]

Like $500

[stone relic]

Do you already own an amp etc? Would you prefer a starter pack, or to buy the amp etc independently?

[tame rain]

I don’t got an amp

Amp independently would be good

[stone relic]

okay. So that'll cost a little more, but in that case you probably want to get someone to demo a few different ones, see what feels right for you. Fender list the Classic Vibe 60s as USD450 at the moment, that doens't really leave you any room for an amp - unless you want to buy one secondhand, and that's always a good option. You also need phone cables, picks, get a strap and a tuner too.

I have a Marshall 10G, a Fender 15 and an Orange 12 amp - by far my favourite tone comes from the Orange, but that's because I'm more in to pop/punk, and the Fender is better for more generic stuff.

[tame rain]

Alright

Ty for all the help

[stone relic]

I started with one of these packs. It's been fantastic. https://www.fender.com/en-US/squier-sale/affinity-series-stratocaster-hss-pack/0372820002.html USD360.

I'll send you an invite to a really good guitar discord server I sit on if you like, you'll get heeeeeaps of help there if you want it... but also varying strong opinion 😄

[manic torrent]

strong opinions from musos? 😮 😉

[stone relic]

Ask them for their opinions on politics 😄

[tame rain]

One last question I’m planning on playing jazz and R&B type music so would the classic 60s vibe be good?

Mostly that but Also learn and play in general

[stone relic]

MAYBE have a look at the Jazzmaster, but I would strongly suggest just get a good all-rounder for your first guitar. If you stick with it and enjoy it, your second, third, or eighth guitar will probably be more suited to what you really want to play.

Seriously though - as a beginner, any guitar is good.

[tame rain]

Alright thanks

who is the biggest sellout guitarist of all time

[stone relic]

I can't tell if I'm being trolled or if you actually want me to weigh in on this 😄

[manic torrent]

[stone relic]

(obviously it's Slash)

I suppose there's different areas of sell-out heh

Where in floatplane is the Livestream?

[manic torrent]

stairway to heaven is the best guitar track of all time.

I just play power chords - I don't need to learn music, there's no need.

[stone relic]

All these Queen 'fans' who have never heard a track other than Bohemian.

[manic torrent]

My son is a massive stan for queen. He's 5. But when freddy comes on the TV, he's transfixed.

[stone relic]

Introduce him to Innuendo and Mustapha early and you're set to break the trend of him falling in to all their sterotypical known tracks.

[manic torrent]

honestly... I don't know who those are.

[lucid echo]

Cool Cat is such a dope song, people don’t believe me when I tell them it’s queen (until Freddie starts riffing hard)

[stone relic]

Innuendo. The title track from the Queen album 'Innuendo' 😄 Mustapha is the opening track to Jazz.

[rugged bridge]

[stone relic]

It's barely a notch above "I'm in love with my car" 😄

[rugged bridge]

LMAO yea

[manic torrent]

I'm a pretty basic bich. 🙂 I am usually a "greatest hits" kind of guy

[lucid echo]

I wish akashra didn’t block me so we could talk queen

[stone relic]

Greatest Hits II has a special place in my childhood. It represents the point I realised how much a violent child my father was when in a rage he literally took the CD, threw it, and shattered it.

😄

[rugged bridge]

@stone relic

[manic torrent]

Oof. That's certainly a story. At least you realised - My parents were not violent, but I did not realise how toxic and abusive it was until decades later.

Where can I go to post a probably not problem with floatplane? Nvidia decided to surreptitiously update itself at 11pm local time (totally unreasonable) when the only new thing I was running was floatplane so I initially thought it was their fault until nividia showered me with 100 windows notifications afterwards letting me know how proud of their service to me they were... But floatplane videos sat at loading again until I restarted everything.

Bit of a stretch for anything on floatplane side and I'm happy to be malcontent with nvidia but I would also expect the browser to shield from that kind of shenaniry, as it was immediately able to play YT videos again. Any tips on next steps or just move on? Is there anything worth looking up in chrome?

[sharp scaffold]

Does anyone here use bitwarden, I'm trying to figure out if I can use it as an authenticator and password manager, not sure

whats up

[silk sail]

Should i get a replacement phone from apple for 500 or just get a new one? I don't have $500 to drop right now. So getting a new phone and paying it off monthly makes more sense.

[snow void]

what is the new phones model

and what is ur old phone's model

[smoky bison]

Ello

[snow void]

hi :)

[willow patrol]

If its relatively new you could just get it repaired at a local repair shop (not apple) that would be a lot cheaper, pricing ranging from whatever is broken

I’m talking 6 and up new

Not 13 pro plus max ultra

[finite cloud]

Their refurbished line has some pretty good deals if you wanna check that

i still also remembers how mentions about 11% better ipc gains over 10900k while in benchmarks both of them chip perform marginally the same

Looking for ways I can have my old tablet as a bluetooth adapter (so i can have bluetooth headphones with my pc)

google is confusing me a bit

[manic torrent]

Get an actual Bluetooth adaptor

[wet wasp]

not feeling it

[graceful burrow]

Then I guess you're not feeling having Bluetooth headphones on your pc lmao

[wet wasp]

ik there is a way to do what i want to do

Im just asking for help and yall throwing it in my face

[graceful burrow]

Then do it

[wet wasp]

:/

you really gotta be like this huh

[graceful burrow]

I want you to do it so you can explain how it's done because I enjoy learning

[wet wasp]

Bro I can here asking for your help on how to do it

when i say "your" i mean everyone

[slim yacht]

as in connecting your pc to your tab and connect to a bluetooth headphone ?

why? just get a bluetooth adapter

[wet wasp]

alr i dont like saying this but im broke af and tryna save few bucks here and there and I saw an oportunity

[slim yacht]

you can get many bluetooth adapter for cheap actually. the process of turning your tab into an adapter is logistically much more pain in the butt vs just buying a cheap adapter

[wet wasp]

im still gonna try :/

[carmine merlin]

I found an adapter for 4 dollars

I'm unsure if that converting your tab to a usb adapter is worth it when you could find a 5 dollar bill under your couch and buy one from a local computer store

[slim yacht]

bluetooth system in your tab modem is not really designed to be a sink (an open channel bluetooth ). it was just designed as host instead. for something to be an adapter it needs to be open which android specifically lock right out of gate. unless you can kernel modify youre stuck with needing to buy an adapter

[wet wasp]

fuck

[slim yacht]

talking any device using SOC in general, you cannot modify how bluetooth system works as it is already in preset out of factory

[wet wasp]

I have an idea....

really dumb idea but its an idea

lord forgive me for this one

[carmine merlin]

apparently its 15 usd

[slim yacht]

just dont break your tab whatever you do lol

[graceful burrow]

I like how one of the pics is it plugged in to a mac
Those have had Bluetooth for an extremely long time kek

[carmine merlin]

now find a 20 dollar bill under your couch

[wet wasp]

im not even using an old one lmao, i tried using an old one and it didnt even have bluetooth. My poor galaxy tab a7 will have to fry for this one

nah i dont think it will fry

[slim yacht]

my guy, get some sweat and buy some adapter

be safe instead of gamble it out

[wet wasp]

nah bro its fun 😃 👍

[carmine merlin]

losing a 150 dollar device is worse than spending 15 usd to get a adapter

[slim yacht]

yeah all fun and games until you somehow brick your tab

[graceful burrow]

It's always fun for me

Watching people brick their hardware

[slim yacht]

[wet wasp]

what if I just use an app that lets me screen share and just yk

[graceful burrow]

I say do it

[slim yacht]

what are u actually trying to do

[wet wasp]

just use my headphones on my pc

[slim yacht]

your headphones have bluetooth?
