[quick blade]

yes with time people do get accustomed to it

[ocean narwhal]

144+ is definitely the pick for buying a new monitor nowadays

[frosty orchid]

Yeah have a BenQ Pro monitor. it cap out at 60/ 4k but that's all I need it for when using art apps.

[quick blade]

they cost alot

like

[vapid smelt]

$180 new

[quick blade]

which specific model

[ocean narwhal]

amazon has some random models for 180

[slim yacht]

taking the context of using a 3080, if you dont want to spend on good monitor then why the 3080 in the first place ?
thats a weird purchasing decision if you ask me

[frosty orchid]

I thought about getting the BenQ 32" 4k/120fps 😛🤤

[glacial basin]

some 1440p 144hz IPS monitors go on sale for $199.99

[vapid smelt]

Take it back 120

[quick blade]

yess xD

this is what im saying

[slim yacht]

thats dirt cheap actually

[ocean narwhal]

oh yeah naw 1440p also if ur buying a new system

that u can get for 180

I hope that 24" 1440p165hz is cheap-ish

[quick blade]

i cant upload images - but 300hz cost 400 500$

very very expensive

twice as expensive as 165hz

[gilded quest]

well

[vapid smelt]

Lier! It's 181.99!

[gilded quest]

typically high end stuff is more expensive to build

[ocean narwhal]

oh noe

[quick blade]

yes

i never believed in "high end future proofing" concept

[slim yacht]

i still would go 300hz lol
cost more but on long run that investment pays you off pretty well, especially to your vision

[frosty orchid]

I use mostly Adobe apps. I only game some times. FPS count is not my top requirement. I rather have more compute$. I want the 3080 for its compute powers.

[quick blade]

just get a decent mid range and buy something after 7 years

[gilded quest]

worked for me so far
1080ti in 2018, still going very strong

[quick blade]

1080 was a exception

[slim yacht]

good to know

[quick blade]

pascal was amazing

[slim yacht]

theres no future proofing in anything matter of fact

[quick blade]

like really amazing

[slate agate]

psu

[quick blade]

people with 1080 are very lucky

sad to think now a modern 3050 defeats a 1080

but again - 1080 has been out for 5 years almost

[slim yacht]

not even that
some psu units from the same lineup might degrade/fail much faster than any other
it depends on many factors

[slate agate]

sure that, many psu's come with a decade warranty

[vapid smelt]

They both trade blows depending on the game

[quick blade]

yes but - 3050 is an "entry level" card xD

[frosty orchid]

Yeah, that's why I'm glad TWSC told JenSung they were not canceling the RTX4000 order. Now there will be plenty for all of US LOLOL.

[slate agate]

I've had one last 8 years between multiple builds until It just wasn't enough power for my most recent build

[quick blade]

i feel like in the future "PSU bottleneck" will be a real thing

4000 series

[slim yacht]

a friend corsair 850 from year 2012 still going strong actually
went from a 580 system to a 1650
it aint much but the psu work

[quick blade]

intel 13 gen and rtx 4000 will make ur PSU cry

[glacial basin]

what the fuck even is that term, like if it's tripping OPP just sell yours and buy a new one??

[quick blade]

13gen chips are very power hungry and no one is covering this

[gilded quest]

what

[slate agate]

mine was a corsair from around then as well, but the 650w I didn't feel was enough for my current system, on 850w now

[glacial basin]

a lot of people are dude

[vapid smelt]

Only the i9 12900k is idiotic in power draw the rest is fairly normal

[gilded quest]

how the heck can people cover something that doesn't exist yet

[glacial basin]

unlocked PL2

[glacial basin]

ES moment

[quick blade]

what i mean is that modern GPU and CPU are now using lot more power and people need to change their perfectly working PSU

[frosty orchid]

Naw we will have Qbit by then. But for now the industry will transition to Chip-lets based architectures.

[gilded quest]

yeah but the coverage should happen at launch?

[quick blade]

they can comment on the trend

[gaunt hawk]

ThE m1 Is MoRe EfFiCiEnT!!1!1!11111

[slim yacht]

rumored power draw i guess
leaks also indicates 13th gen and 4000 series rtx being a power hog

[vapid smelt]

A 12900ks pulls more power then my Rx 5700xt

[quick blade]

yes and imagine both of them paired in the same system

[quick blade]

my point exactly

[slim yacht]

to be fair its going to be
4090 + 13900k locked would still run you about 1400w psu minimum

[quick blade]

intel abandoned their "tick tock" strategy - it should be implemented this gen

[frosty orchid]

Chip-Lets is the Reason Apple's custom SOC is so good.

[quick blade]

"minimum" cris

[gilded quest]

....for their monolithic dies?

[gaunt hawk]

4090ti + 13900ks with oc will be destroying outlets 💀

[halcyon ocean]

really the m1 is just an iphone 12 soc with more cores

[gilded quest]

the M1 was the A14X
aka ipad class

M2 is pretty much an A15X, albeit with an improved IMC

[quick blade]

apple got dissed hard by folks saying "macbook body is too eww for i9" - they went in and made their own SOC and ran it in the same body as the overheating i9 and yielded wayy more power

[slim yacht]

current maximum psu is about 1600w with 80+ titanium and that cost alot of cash
you'd probably spend the kind of money you would on a house to build that kind of system

[quick blade]

m1 is not only cpu - its a gpu aswell

its wrong to say its similar to A14

[frosty orchid]

If that is true I'll 3D print a custom Empanada *warmer * out of High-temp ABS for internet Kicks.

[slim yacht]

M series is a soc no ? make sense to pull more power

[gilded quest]

you claim iphones dont have GPUs?

[quick blade]

M series is very different to A series

[quick blade]

i didnt say that - im saying A series are very different that M

[gilded quest]

the M1 original was not very different from an A series

[halcyon ocean]

m1 is an SOC, which means it has memory, cpu, gpu, and whatever media encoders on a chip, hence system on a chip

[gilded quest]

the Pro/Max/Ultra were much different

[quick blade]

so are the mobile A chips

[slim yacht]

m1 standard is designed in clusters and architecture meant to outperform a series
theyre very different line, tho they are build on the arm architecture and are built by tsmc

similar but not really

and m1 have much more powerful gpu too

[quick blade]

i never thought that an ARM based chip like the M1 will ever give challange to the likes of x86Ryzen

[slim yacht]

anything on mobile that is a mix of things to run on a single chip is an SOC to be frank

[gilded quest]

like the ipad chips have always done

[halcyon ocean]

iirc the m1 cpu cores are the same as the a14's not very sure about the gpu cores

[quick blade]

macbook is just an overgrown ipad with ~legs~ keyboard

[gaunt hawk]

Yeah but can standard breakers keep up with it?

[halcyon ocean]

and a better os

[slim yacht]

theyre both build under tsmc still
and it is no longer a dominating chip since Amd ryzen U chip is overtaking them at 15watts lol

you can find U laptops with far better battery life to at lower battery capacity with ryzen

[quick blade]

intel U series of CPU were horrible 6th-8th gen

glad they made a new P class now

[gaunt hawk]

@slim yacht dumb question a breaker can supply 3700 watts

[gilded quest]

M1 was to the A14 as the A12Z was to the A12

[slim yacht]

depends on where you are

[gaunt hawk]

Linux?

[quick blade]

depend on region i belive

[frosty orchid]

IDK, being enslaved too MacOS, Tim Cook and company is not for me.

[quick blade]

you folks have 120 AC ?

[slim yacht]

im from asia so use Uk system
240ac/dc

[halcyon ocean]

you can run asahi linux natively on ARM macs

[gaunt hawk]

Where i live its 3700 WHAT SOME COUNTRIES ONLY HAVE 1600?

[quick blade]

do you mean 220?

[slim yacht]

its 240hz here

[gaunt hawk]

Same

[gilded quest]

US is 120V @ 15A, so 1800W per circuit

[gaunt hawk]

:x

[quick blade]

220V here - some countries in asia also use 240 ; i thought everyone from asia use 220

[slim yacht]

so you can run a ganging breaker then
120 + 120 in a socket
youd need cables rated for over 30 amps tho
shit aint cheap

[gaunt hawk]

Wtf imagine

[slim yacht]

its 220-240v
but our electrical standard specifically in my country maintains 240v

[quick blade]

i see

[slim yacht]

electrical cost

[gaunt hawk]

Isnt 120 alot more inefficient?

[slim yacht]

our plug here are rated for 13amps max per socket

[quick blade]

AC power transmission - doesnt matter what V

[vapid smelt]

The us uses 240 https://www.electronicproducts.com/why-doesnt-the-us-use-220v-like-everyone-else-in-the-world/

[gaunt hawk]

Ah ok thanks

[quick blade]

end of the line there are series of rectifers and buck boost converters

AC is use in transmission since there are no line losses

DC has line losses

[vapid smelt]

Nearly all homes in America have 240V alternating current lines at the service entrance to the household as well as select locations within the home.

[quick blade]

america has 120V no?

wait you mean Vpp?

[slim yacht]

thats not really how it works
120v for stuff that doesnt require alot of power
240v for shit that needs high amount of current

[gilded quest]

our household wall circuits are 120V

[quick blade]

US has 120V AC at the walls

[gilded quest]

but the connection for single family homes is actually 240V

[quick blade]

i see - i didnt know that

[gilded quest]

multi-unit dwellings, it depends

[quick blade]

isnt that dangerous -to keep track of i mean

[slim yacht]

for system that uses 240v entirely it uses a system called phases
US breaker specifically uses a 120 single phases in shift system

which means you can access 240v when you need to by adding another breaker

[quick blade]

i remember configuring the buck converters for a solar setup wrong - the default setting were for the US @120V ; nearly blew my face off

3@phase setup are common where im from

[gilded quest]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMmUoZh3Hq4

[quick blade]

ill watch this

[gaunt hawk]

Hah in physics we learned you use higher voltage in lines for more efficient energy delivery cause the more energy gets delivered at the same time the more efficient it becomes because the losses are always the same apparently

[quick blade]

AC doesnt matter if its 120 or 240

[gilded quest]

There is a vehicle that uses 24V electronics for this very reason

[quick blade]

no line losses

[gilded quest]

the electrical runs were too long for 12V

[eager notch]

Except when it doesn't

[quick blade]

duh duhh DUHHHH

yaar xDD

[gilded quest]

sub2floatplane

[slim yacht]

from current lines it is 240v so that it doesnt carry energy losses
from energy lines to home, id would be separated to 120v each phases (left and right)
you just need to add appropriate breakers to support what you need to use

[quick blade]

anywy - what is ur current PC powerdraw

not PSU - power draw

[midnight elk]

what should I do with old ass 2012 pc

[quick blade]

chrome OS flex

[midnight elk]

it has FreeBSD on it rn :troll:

[quick blade]

this is a good setup

[gilded quest]

235W @ Wall

[quick blade]

235

idle?

[gilded quest]

browsers and apps but no games

[quick blade]

gpu?

[slim yacht]

you still lose power over current line regardless of how efficient an electrical system is
thus the creation of step up transformer and a step down with supplies running very far in range

temperature/length are very important factors

you can only really get effcient energy once the energy enters your home where u use them

[quick blade]

the recent trend of having more and more powerful "BFGPU" is causing the industry to shift to more power inefficent means

AMD is the only company atm which still cares about efficiency

[gilded quest]

vote with your wallets when 40-series comes out then

[slim yacht]

bro i dont even have a wallet

[gilded quest]

vote with your tweet storms?

[quick blade]

i dont think 40 series will lauch so soon - nvidia has alot of 3000 stock

[midnight elk]

its almost insulting how little most computer parts companies give a fuck about eff

[quick blade]

this

[slim yacht]

tsmc does
amd does as well

[gilded quest]

they absolutely care about efficiency

[quick blade]

nvidia shut us up for 2 generations by giving us cripped "MAX Q" gpus

[slim yacht]

apple also*

[gilded quest]

but they also have marketing departments

[quick blade]

max q was just a scam to get us to buy lower tier cards baited with the same name

[slim yacht]

their silicon engineers definitely wanted efficiency
as the engineering term itself says : if low input = huge throughput, then its efficient
goal of engineers in a nutshell

[gilded quest]

also a good time to remind that Efficiency != power draw

a thousand watt GPU can be incredibly efficient

[quick blade]

heat should be taken in consideration

[gilded quest]

sure, but thats not efficiency

[quick blade]

the linearity of the performance - power should be straight

like a graph

[frosty orchid]

Unlimited Power! ⚡⚡

[slim yacht]

efficiency in a silicon should be taken into power draw as well
if i can give out more performance at much lower power then its very efficient
power/performance graph is very important in silicon, especially when cooling is in agenda

[quick blade]

i cant upload images - i wanted to make a graph for better understanding

[gilded quest]

look back at 11th gen with AVX512

[quick blade]

power to perf graph should be linearly increasing - then its efficient

[slim yacht]

tbf with you 11th gen sucks
its just a copy of 10th gen with new name pretty much

[gilded quest]

did AVX512 workloads cause obscene power draw? yes
was it inefficient? not exactly

[quick blade]

xeons are incredibly inefficient

[slim yacht]

anything intel before 12th gen was very very inneficient
i can tell you that much

[gilded quest]

are they

[slim yacht]

8th and 9th gen intel was fine tho, its not great but it was not a energy hog

[glacial basin]

it's 10th gen with pcie gen 4

[slim yacht]

^

[gilded quest]

not even slightly

[quick blade]

the problem with intel is that they have been selling (AND STILL ARE) Quad core i5 for the past 8 years in laptops

[gilded quest]

11th gen was Sunny Cove cores backported to 14nm

[slim yacht]

performance wise 11th gen and 10th gen are just way too similar its not even worth buying them

[glacial basin]

i5-10400F all the way to the i5-12600K have more than 4 cores

[gilded quest]

completely different uArch to 10th gen

[quick blade]

tick tock - intel refresh

[glacial basin]

hell even the i5-9400F has 6 cores

[quick blade]

mobile cpus

i shoulve mentioned that

[vapid smelt]

I5 9600 is 6 cores

[slim yacht]

intel mobile chip has always been that way till 10th gen
that only changes when ryzen 3000-4000 came to laptops

[quick blade]

4 cores in i5 laptops for the past 8 years

[quick blade]

yes - amd competed with 6 cores

[gilded quest]

12th gen mobile has less high performance cores than 11th gen mobile (looking at the lower wattage parts)

[vapid smelt]

Should we tell him about the 4 core mobile i7s Intel also sells

[quick blade]

intel then changed their gaming CPU from "HQ" to "H"

Q=quadcore

[glacial basin]

2p8e i5

[quick blade]

"hyperthreading" isnt more cores

[gentle spruce]

something tells me intel doesn't know its own naming scheme

[quick blade]

last time i said that i got oofed here

[slim yacht]

thats just intel doing stupid shit to their chip tbf

[solar spade]

hi

[slim yacht]

lol their own engineers dont even remember probably

[quick blade]

ayo i got oofed again xD

[midnight elk]

Can someone tell me the difference between performance cores and efficency cores??

I havent followed intel bs in a while

[quick blade]

big.LITTLE

basically

[gentle spruce]

big power

little power

[night heron]

2p8e sounds stupid at first but it's actually a pretty solid chip layout

[glacial basin]

1p = 2e iirc

[quick blade]

it is for thin and light

[night heron]

most games only heavily load one core and give light work to the rest

[quick blade]

very raw explanation

[night heron]

having 2 P cores is totally fine for most people

[quick blade]

P cores can clock higher than E cores and have more power

[slim yacht]

one runs over 45w
one runs under 35w
*that is with scheduling by windows
performance runs when you need powah, so efficiency chip turns off entirely and when you need them efficiency core performance shuts down
its almost similar to big.Little system you find on phones SOC

[vapid smelt]

P cores are just normal everyday cores, e cores are weaker but power efficient cores

[midnight elk]

interesting

[night heron]

funny thing is modern e cores are more powerful than most peoples' processors

they're not weak cores by any means

[quick blade]

important thing to note is that ONLY windows 11 currenly has the proper scheduler for P and E cores

[night heron]

intel gets insane multithread scores

[quick blade]

windows 10 performance with 12 gen is not good

[midnight elk]

I think my amd a6-3620 would outpeform it easily 😎

[gilded quest]

P Cores are the standard big core (like you would have found in 11th, 10th, 9th, etc, gens)
E Cores are the small simpler cores, previously limited to the Atom line

[quick blade]

not really , E cores arent that weak

[gilded quest]

(although both have new uArch in 12th gen)

[night heron]

theyre really not that bad

[vapid smelt]

And if I recall right E cores use less space on the CPU itself

[night heron]

theyre like skylake cores

[gilded quest]

the E cores are significantly smaller

[quick blade]

there was a video on youtube of a guy disabling P and then E cores to see difference in bench

[gilded quest]

did I say they were weak???

Cause I didn't

[quick blade]

atom is stupid weak

[gilded quest]

but

[slim yacht]

e cores still perform decently well if fed enough wattage
its just that intel designed them in such clusters where theyre targeted to consume much lower power

[quick blade]

like intel atom is insult

[gilded quest]

bruv

[quick blade]

worse than potato

[vapid smelt]

Compared to P cores E cores are weak

[quick blade]

E cores hold up against 6th full cores basically

[gilded quest]

Atom SoCs were bad, but the E-Core heritage is obvious

[quick blade]

cherrytail

[midnight elk]

intel turned naming core counts into naming star wars robots 😭

[gentle spruce]

hey now my primary education relied on atom laptops

be nice

[quick blade]

ayo what happen to that exynos AMD samsung phone

RDNA on samsung

[gilded quest]

they intel could make an atom chip with the alder lake E cores if they wanted to

[quick blade]

cherrytail cpu

[gilded quest]

drivers were bad

[quick blade]

AMD said Drivers 🅱️ roke

[gilded quest]

or samsung did bad with them

[slim yacht]

its the only way they can compete with amd
amd with all cores going at same frequency and all active are still much more efficient than intel as a whole with a big.Little system

[night heron]

the e cores do so well that the i5 12600k noticeably beats the i9 10900k in multithreaded applications

[gilded quest]

yeah E Cores go brrrr

[midnight elk]

The new amd cpus seem so exciting its unreal

[slim yacht]

they had problems with drivers and rdna was a heat mess for exynos 2200

[quick blade]

s22 has horrible battery

[midnight elk]

I have an r9 alr and i kinda wanna try to find a way to get my hands on one of the new ones

[night heron]

it's cool seeing such high clockspeeds

i want to see intel 13000 though, from the rumors it's a lot better than ryzen 7000

[midnight elk]

yeah but if it requires a fucking air conditoner to prevent it from throttling then what does it matter 😭

[slim yacht]

not unless amd starts playing with 3d-v cache that is

[quick blade]

i wish them to release a good 150-200$ cpu

its been a long time for a good cpu in that range

[night heron]

intel chips aren't hard to cool

the i5 12600k and 12700k are very reasonable

[little osprey]

Hello

[quick blade]

i5 12gen F is currenly the best bang to buck

[slim yacht]

i mean even right now you can get very good deal with 5800x3d and 12600k

[quick blade]

F means no iGPU

[night heron]

and with rumors suggesting the 7950x is going to pull double the power of the 5950x i bet both teams' cpus will be "hot"

[quick blade]

but i would still reccmm old AMD gpu to 12 gen

[night heron]

that's the best solution, both next generation platforms are going to be a lot more expensive than our current gen

[quick blade]

amd socket hav better upgrade path

ddr5 caused some problems tho

released at the worse time

destroyed backward compatability with ddr4

[slate agate]

the 13900k is needing it's power limit off to hit those really high scores we have been seeing

[night heron]

there's not really a right time to launch a new ram generation without screwing people over

[slate agate]

that's 350+w the 7950x won't pull anywhere near that

[quick blade]

tbh all events do that

even amd did that

[slim yacht]

its actually near that at 350w
and at lower clocks too

[quick blade]

none of the high scores you see are "on air" cooling

[slate agate]

no that's a 'feature' intel is letting motherboard makers add to the bios of their really high end boards

[lilac sage]

Amd has a power limit?

[quick blade]

lab tested - nitrogen n stuff

[night heron]

for sure, and that's why the 13900k's single thread score is so much higher than the 13600k

[lilac sage]

ngl i never hear about amd’s power limit

[quick blade]

TDP

[slim yacht]

350w maximum apparently
intel can just open pl2 and go 400+ brt

[lilac sage]

tdp has nothing to do with power draw tho

[quick blade]

pl2?

[slim yacht]

power limit 2

[quick blade]

i misunderstood

[quick blade]

is that a program?

[slate agate]

7950x is around 230w

[night heron]

i dont see a problem with them releasing high power draw flagship parts

[ripe parcel]

i was wondering is a 9000watt subwoofer overkill

[slim yacht]

no, you can adjust power consumption in bios

[night heron]

the person who buys a 13900k wants the absolute best and will want the overclocked chip

[quick blade]

i see - like BD PROCHOT and stuf

[night heron]

for everyone else who wants to be more economical the 13600k wont be so redlined out of box

[slim yacht]

its not really similar to laptops but its something like that

[quick blade]

i have a problem with intel cpu getting stuck at their base clocks for no reason at all

[night heron]

it's the same as how i dont mind nvidia releasing 600w+ gpus, i was never going to buy a 4090Ti anyway, so who cares

[quick blade]

i see

[slim yacht]

i can tell from you saying bd prochot you use a throttlestop

[night heron]

there'll still be lower power cards

[quick blade]

yess xD

[ripe parcel]

is a 9000w subwoofer overkill

[quick blade]

i dont know why my intel cpu does this

[night heron]

nah seems fit for a tiny room

[quick blade]

getting stuck at base clock

1.58Ghz

[slim yacht]

put it in a bedroom
should be fine

[quick blade]

throttlestop fixes the issue - but i wish it did that automatically

[ripe parcel]

it 1800 dollars. plus a 2200 dollar amp

[slim yacht]

i ditched intel laptops because of that lol
even expensive laptop cant handle intel chips

[quick blade]

it this an intel specific problem?

do amd laptop do this?

[vapid smelt]

The only good laptops are from apple

[quick blade]

its getting stuck at 1.58Ghz at 40C

[slim yacht]

its oem and intel
intel chips are hard to cool due to it loving to pull too much power
and oems find it hard to cool intel cpu's having to design beefy cooling

[ripe parcel]

there all overpriced

[quick blade]

i see

[slim yacht]

no
amd can go full boost clock at 3w on battery just fine
its really efficient

and that being all cores active

[quick blade]

i see - thanks

ill try to get an AMD based laptop next time

i currenly have my main lenovo flex 5 facing this issue

[slim yacht]

dont take my words for it, do some research on specific laptop you want
different laptops deals with chip very differently

[quick blade]

i also have a All amd Dell G5 SE - it is a good amd laptop

its my first experience with ZEN cpu

my experience with AMD so far is good - very power efficient cpu

rx5600m has this smartshift thingy so i dont worry about power

[little osprey]

I've literally only had two different types and one of them was tobshiba never buy from them

[ripe parcel]

excactly

[quick blade]

toshiba satellite laptops are good tho

very repairable

[slate agate]

laptops with zen 4 should be monsters if that performance bump at low power over zen 3 are anything to go by

[slim yacht]

rx5800m at 115w performing like 3080 laptop at 165w
theyre actually very efficient, its only shame they had no mux switch

[quick blade]

old inspirons - satellites , thinkpads

[little osprey]

I had their touch screen one back in like 2014 and it just broke like all the pieces started to break off

[ripe parcel]

im looking at a hp spectre x360. 16 inch 2 in 1. 16gb of ram. 3 or 4k screen i think

[little osprey]

The plastic shells on Toshibas suck as well lmao they break way too easily

[quick blade]

any suggestions for anything cable management related is welcomed

Not that I know of

anything good cable managment related tho?

[ripe parcel]

Let cable ties

cable ties, zipties, velco tapes
if youre looking for something ltt makes then maybe something from usams

velcro wire management or sum

Not necessarily endorsing these particular products or vendor but here are some ideas inspired from my boss' recent cable management makeover and my own recent efforts.

[wispy marsh]

Hey, I have data from three places

What is the most foolproof way to set up a fileshare server in my own environment (linux host) and have it accessible from the outside?

Both the host and the client are DDNS. I have a 16gb, 4-core 2600 with a LVM of 4TB mirrored drives.

[royal peak]

How accessible do you wish the share to be?

[wispy marsh]

For the moment, me

I don't mind using access keys instead of passwords

[polar fern]

Watching the project farm screwdriver review again.

[royal peak]

If you only need to be able to upload/dowload files and not read/write on it "live", SSH/SFTP should do the trick.

[full fossil]

so i quite literally have files on C: that will not delete. I've tried everything. Changing permissions, Nsudo. Lockhunters option to delete em on startup. Nothing has worked.

[lavish patrol]

what files, are they .sys? on the root of the drive? or are they ones you made?

[full fossil]

Its an old windows install. Well, multiple old windows installs

[lavish patrol]

for example hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys can’t be deleted

[polar fern]

May have perms linked to current files.

[royal peak]

Is your C: quite literally full by any chance ?

[wispy marsh]

Yep, it will mainly be used with things like rclone, samba

[full fossil]

Quite literally not full ngl 800gb free of 1tb

[wispy marsh]

I need to

• pull (duplicate) from OneDrive
• pull (duplicate) from iCloud
• pull (duplicate) from my gaming PC

[full fossil]

and 100gb of it is old windows installs!! D:

[wispy marsh]

Settings.exe will take care of that. Head over to the storage section.

[full fossil]

First thing i tried

[wispy marsh]

Are you a local administrator?

[full fossil]

Yep

[wispy marsh]

Run a privileged explorer instance to delete those files

Task Managed's Run will allow you to do that

Alternatively, powershell
Start-process explorer -verb runas

[full fossil]

Says i need access from SYSTEM

[wispy marsh]

Which file are you trying to delete?

[full fossil]

The folders
Windows.old
Windows.old.000
windows.old.001

[royal peak]

Try "The Unlocker", get it from majorgeeks

[full fossil]

didnt work :/

[stray apex]

Those will autodelete in a bit

[full fossil]

I tried this program called DISM ++ and it worked

😄

[wispy marsh]

Next time, you could try Advanced Run

I used that tool to remove Edge from my PC

[bleak crow]

And add internet explorer I hope smh smh

[polar fern]

Test

👍

[finite cloud]

[vernal zinc]

hello everyone

[pure star]

anyone know discount codes for newegg first time buying

[slim yacht]

its just like learning languages, youre never too late

i started learning code at 21

[glacial basin]

as a Chinese idiom says: "If you live until you're old, might as well learn until you're old"

[feral wedge]

Guys

I just found something out

All edm sounds the same

:troll:

[finite cloud]

i disagree. but hip hop music? yeah most of that sounds the same

tit tit tit tit BOOM. tit tit tit tit BOOM "yuh, huh. money. girls. cars. drugs"

[lucid echo]

there are other kinds

[finite cloud]

half the songs my brother plays sound identical minus a few

[lucid echo]

sounds like your brother listens to bad music

perhaps there's music he doesn't listen to that's better

I learned at 21-22 and got a good-paying dev job by 24

[velvet marsh]

It's not terrible if you need a Surface specifically, otherwise there are better options at the same price or lower

[halcyon kestrel]

RTX 4090ti stock market when

[rustic crown]

Id rather bet on energy futures than 4090

[vapid smelt]

ryzen cpu with intel integrated graphics

[halcyon kestrel]

4090 gonna be eating like 300 watts

[rustic crown]

600*

[halcyon kestrel]

fr

[rustic crown]

Its hotter than the 450w 3090ti

[halcyon kestrel]

1000 watt supply

[solemn coral]

gonna be blowing any PSU under 1000 with those transients

[rustic crown]

Then add intel 375w CPU

[halcyon kestrel]

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X Pro with RTX 4090 ti will be amazing

64 core CPU with 8K GPU

I heard the 3990X pro can run 8k games alone

[velvet marsh]

No

[rustic crown]

The 5995 is a better cpu still

Still less power than a 13900k

280w vs 375

[velvet marsh]

5995wx will draw more than 280w

[rustic crown]

I haven't see the pbo yet

My 2950 non pbo is 180 pbo is 225

[velvet marsh]

My 3960x will hit like 320

[rustic crown]

Zen+ doesn't have the power hungry io die to deal with

[velvet marsh]

True

[rustic crown]

But it has 2 numa nodes

[velvet marsh]

The 3960x is also significantly faster than the 2990wx

[rustic crown]

I got my board for less than a good x370

[velvet marsh]

Just 1 numa

[rustic crown]

linux sees 2

Cores 0-7 and 8-15

[velvet marsh]

Which distro?

[rustic crown]

Neptune (debian)

[velvet marsh]

ah okay, yeah 3rd gen is 1 numa

[rustic crown]

The io die is like the northbridge

and all the cores talk to it for ram

Its like westmere-m

[velvet marsh]

I can't do over 3000 on 8 sticks or it freaks out lol

[rustic crown]

I'm at 3400 on 4

[velvet marsh]

I could do 3600 with 4 easily

but with 8 dual rank it doesn't like it

for gaming completely avoid the surface

[rustic crown]

My friends surface book melted the stickers on it playing osu

[velvet marsh]

it's not designed for loads like that

[rustic crown]

osu is a 2d game

a dell latitude handles gaming better than a surface

And its a business notebook

[velvet marsh]

it's not even that, it's just a bad value for gaming

[rustic crown]

Lol will melt it

Minecraft would shut her surface book down due to temps

[velvet marsh]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-ideapad-gaming-3i-15-6-fhd-laptop-core-i5-11300h-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1650-256gb-ssd-shadow-black/6500619.p?skuId=6500619
That one at $90 more is like 10x better

[rustic crown]

A ideabook with a zen apu would be a better laptop

[unique roost]

We doing laptop recs? What's the budget? Purpose is playing Minecraft?

[rustic crown]

Surface machines are made to run office

Not anything 3d

[velvet marsh]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-14-laptop-amd-ryzen-3-8gb-memory-128gb-ssd-natural-silver/6502175.p?skuId=6502175
Hell this would be better than the surface

I'm saying if you're gonna spend that much at least get something worth it, if you don't want more performance than the surface just get something cheaper

[rustic crown]

I owned a surface pro3 for a bit

It has a 15w cpu, that hit 97c all the time

A dell e5440 with same cpu, maxed at 65c

And is a cheaper laptop

[slim yacht]

what he said is true, why do u spend that money on surface when you plan to play game as well ? surface laptops arent meant to do such things in the first place
toasters or not buying a surface is kinda stupid at that point

im not gonna be surprised when people like you complain your chassis feeling like lava when running simple apps/it lagging due it being on i3/atom/pentium

low end or not its gonna make your surface cook an egg

dont dm lmao

referencing to a tiktok video wont solve anything, surface machine matter of fact is not meant to do even light gaming

i have a surface laptop

[rustic crown]

I have 2 of them in my service contracts

Probably the most common for needing work done

[slim yacht]

same amount of money can run me some decent laptops that runs on ryzen 6000 and will be far better than a surface

thats not the point of buying a surface still, and that isnt a justification

[rustic crown]

The dell latitude I pulled from a dumpster runs games better than a surface

[slim yacht]

im trying to tell you spend money on better shit

[rustic crown]

you are trying to bring a prius to a road race

And say its a mustang

the fact that the sticker on the back of my friends surface book melted off is not good

[velvet marsh]

I can't because I wouldn't waste money on a surface

[slim yacht]

cant show you that either because i sold it to get an actual gaming laptop

[rustic crown]

Its cooling isn't upto the job

[slim yacht]

its top specced unit costed me about 1.8k
sold it back and got a scar 15 instead
thats too much money for a low end laptop equipped with a touchscreen and a core i3

core i3 ones was 800 dollars only
mine was a core i7 15inch

and my scar 15 battery literally outperforms it, being a gaming laptop
this is not talking thermals already

tldr dont get a surface lmao

[rustic crown]

I can get a new hp with a i3 8gb ram for 400 usd

[slim yacht]

scar is 1.8 for ryzen 5900hx and rtx 3070
got the surface laptop 4 for about 1.85k

[rustic crown]

For the same spec as a 800 surface

[slim yacht]

or you can spend 800 on a 6000 series amd laptops and it will serve you far better

[rustic crown]

Nothing about the surface is good

Its just a mac that runs windows

[slim yacht]

do it then
aint my cash, theres no free return and refund system here unless theres a problem with it

where u are there might be

no

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJedsO2YO6w

if you really want to game decently, i still dont recommend a surface lol

[rustic crown]

A dell latitude seems to beat the surface at basically everything

Ports price battery

[slim yacht]

albeit you already have a desktop and want a portable small touch capable laptop, then surface does serve its function

[velvet marsh]

This is actually a really good deal right now

It's hit or miss

[rustic crown]

open box is a return that was inspected

I got my mobo as open box

If it has a return window its fine

[velvet marsh]

Could also be a display model

[rustic crown]

They wipe and reinstall the os and check over

Display models for bb are different machines most of the time

[velvet marsh]

no they're not

At least not for computers

[rustic crown]

I got a display from them and it lacks some stuff

[velvet marsh]

Also with Optane definitely back up your data, it's basically impossible to recover

[velvet marsh]

like what?

[rustic crown]

it lacks a battery, also lacks the second drive hw like a retail had, and its lan didn't have a mac address

If it has a warranty and a return its fine

[velvet marsh]

It may have been a different model then, because Best Buy literally opens a box and puts it out on display

I used to work for them, and I have friends that still do

[rustic crown]

It depends if its a demo unit vs a show unit

[velvet marsh]

No computers are mocks anymore

They stopped that in about 2016

[rustic crown]

Demo units are pre production and made to let ppl see the product before its being sold

This is pre 2016

[velvet marsh]

Yeah, they no longer do that

[rustic crown]

4th Gen machine

I get stuff on the ewaste and eol side, bub worked retail

So we got different ends

For the most part yes

most places have 30/90 return times

User damage, like dropping it

Or a mfg recall

check each store for exact lengths

Ya

You need to keep the og packing and box

and you just pack it up when done and keep your order paperwork and open a return

Each store has a its policy so read up

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/help-topics/return-exchange-policy/pcmcat260800050014.c?id=pcmcat260800050014

Best buys

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GKM69DUUYKQWKWX7

You can

If I was you id go to a store like bb

Look at it then order, also look at other units on the display

You will need to know if you want it within 30 days of getting it

As Amazon cuts it off hard afternoon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=GMZNGRA9B5PCJB5F

As seem here

that's wrong

And probably a filing issue on Amazons side

Does it say fulfilled by Amazon?

Its refurbished by Amazon, and probably is a error

Amazon refurbished is known to fill stuff out wrong

Still has 30day returns

Remember it is used and may have signs of use

Its the amd version with the custom amd zen chip made for it

It has a vega 9 igpu

[vital basalt]

[flat ether]

is ther a good way to attach a rasberry pi to the LTT Backpack? Like can I DIY a Pi in that bad boy?

[vernal river]

Yeah I configured that I may need to move to BC to work

[manic torrent]

It's 2022 if you're not using dark theme you will be mocked mercilessly

[manic torrent]

Just... Put it in.

[graceful burrow]

Yeah like
Just do it?

[gilded quest]

Auto switch at sunset/sunrise is the way to go

[fossil dirge]

Who's ready for the Apple event

[rustic crown]

More unrepairable junk from apple

[fossil dirge]

LOL 😆

[stoic beacon]

I was wondering if somebody was going to say that That's what I've been trying out the past week and it's really helped to be able to see stuff when in direct sunlight

[rustic crown]

My phone is oled so no light themes for this

[full fossil]

steam really is only good for valve's own titles and well games that dont require another launcher on top of steam

[ionic abyss]

so replacing rgb ram with faster nonrgb ram will be OK right

or does rgb create preformance

[full fossil]

can sony control the secondary market for its ps5s by requiring those who resell ps5s to contact sony to pay a fee relative to the market to unlock their ps5?

[graceful burrow]

Probably falls under antitrust
That would be stupid

[full fossil]

control scalpers

[graceful burrow]

How would they even know it's sold
Just sell the primary account with it

It's a stupid idea and would absolutely ruin them

[full fossil]

they raised the prices except the usa

scalpers control the usa ps5s

[graceful burrow]

Sure but hard locking consoles is more than not the answer

[full fossil]

they bricked stolen and scalped ps5s

[graceful burrow]

Gonna need proof

[trail rivet]

google

[graceful burrow]

I could see it happening with stolen ps5's but unless the scalped ones were also stolen I highly doubt it

You make the claim you provide evidence kek

It isn't illegal to sell things for way over market price

[trail rivet]

ask intel lol

[gilded quest]

It really helps with outdoors use, or indoors in a bright environment

[gilded quest]

Plus dark text on a light background is just more legible

[graceful burrow]

Wow I was right lmao

[full fossil]

goes to show dont buy things without recipets

receipts

[trail rivet]

never do that anyways xd

[cerulean saffron]

does anyone know why YouTube android app has Mic and camera permissions by default......

[full fossil]

youtube shorts

[cerulean saffron]

not only does it have permissions, it also records audio

[graceful burrow]

It's a Google app and you can record and upload directly from the app

[trail rivet]

to post shorts obv

or to listen to us creaming over linus' servers

[cerulean saffron]

I have a rooted phone with xPrivacyLua which blocked it from camera/mic... I wasn't recording anything

[graceful burrow]

Doesn't matter

Just because it has permissions doesn't mean it's actively using them

[trail rivet]

dont know what your point with this is

[cerulean saffron]

XPrivacyLua tells you when an app tried to access the restricted things... Mic and Camera do that whenever the app is opened.

I restricted another app too, and nothing shows up unless I actually open the camera/try to rec audio

Just privacy concerns that's all

[trail rivet]

ask yt

[cerulean saffron]

lol like they're gonna openly say "yes we do that"

[full fossil]

I came to the conclusion that software has no real value since it can be easily copied. Its the drm that has the value, I mean denuvo does give the game value, because without it it can be easily copied and flood the market

[vernal river]

and now a segway to our sponsor....

[trail rivet]

ridgewallet

[full fossil]

LTT being based in Canada sucks because I used to go to Toronto alot before the virus

[stable blaze]

use code linus to get 10% off

[full fossil]

the sponsor is linux

[abstract rivet]

What is causing Error Code: 0xC0000005 during installation of Windows?

[full fossil]

#tech-support and try googling the code

[gilded quest]

segue*

[full fossil]

i remember that segway jousting

[gilded quest]

that was fun

[ripe mirage]

Guys should I go for i5 12400 or 5600g I’m not getting a gpu rn I’m waiting few months

[full fossil]

LINUS SUS TI)S

[cloud forge]

new apple watch is cool

[tired glade]

Sorto

[hybrid shell]

5600g

[hollow citrus]

apple watch ultra is expensive but i can see the attraction. Honestly it doesnt seem like it can do much more than a normal series 7

[sonic spruce]

I can hear electricity?

[dusky egret]

As a diver, its a mega value if it can compete with something like a Garmin Descent which is like twice as much as an Apple Watch Ultra

[spare narwhal]

Should I have auto/enabled/POR set for turbo power limits, want the most performance out of my chip

[mortal tiger]

5600g hundred percent, made me consider wether or not i actually wanted to buy a gpu lmao

[dusky egret]

I just hope that Huish has a good oxygen integration that doesn't cost too much, usually those modules are like $500

[stoic beacon]

Assuming it can even come close in metrics and battery life...that's what I've found with Garmin watches vs the "smart" smartwatches from Samsung and Apple. The metrics are nowhere near as accurate, and the battery is always worse.

[hollow citrus]

hey huge changes to the airpods case

[mortal tiger]

is the apple event live?

[hollow citrus]

yeah

its been live for like 45 mins

[tired glade]

?

[mortal tiger]

oh shit lmao ill go watch it thanks

[stoic beacon]

Looks nice, they learned from Google's cases...they kept the lightning though, bummer

[finite cloud]

Not huge but nice changes

The speaker is a big deal though

[dusky egret]

Yeah, I'll 100% wait for the reviews, but if Apple and Huish did their jobs properly then they could clean up with Scuba Divers, we've been waiting for something like this for years

[tired glade]

Had they upgrade anything or updated?

[finite cloud]

Rip iPhone mini though it seems

[stoic beacon]

Are you really that surprised?

[dusky egret]

It's minor changes but I think MSRP is still the same?

[tired glade]

Yea,just 2

[hollow citrus]

yeah but i might buy it just to charge with my apple watch charger. my airpods case is always dead cuz i only have 1 lightning charger but i have magsafe and the apple watch charger

[dusky egret]

iPhone Plus is back though

[finite cloud]

I guess not really. I like the mini though :<

[shell swallow]

rip the mini

[tired glade]

Wait,there wasn't plus with 13?

[hollow citrus]

wow iphone 14 is the same shiz, different price

[dusky egret]

I wonder if the value of my Mini will go up now

[stoic beacon]

Are you surprised?

[shell swallow]

13 was: mini, regular, pro regular, pro plus

[finite cloud]

Oh yeah it is

[tired glade]

Oh,just 1200nits

[hollow citrus]

hell i was kinda hoping for the pill shape camera cluster on the display in the leaks

[tired glade]

There was plus

[shell swallow]

I think the Pro will have the pill

[finite cloud]

Nah it was pro max

[dusky egret]

Gen 1 airpods pro at 180 is decent-ish value now tbh

[tired glade]

Oh, just all day

[stoic beacon]

They're not going to change it, now that they have such a hard ecosystem lock. They can drip feed upgrades to people year after year for more money now, and nobody will change

[finite cloud]

For $20 more you can get beats fit pro

[hollow citrus]

i miss when i would actually get excited over new tech, now its all the same

[tired glade]

Are they using double core with shared cache?

[finite cloud]

So far I’m only interested in the Apple Watch Ultra

The 14 is basically a 13 with a new chip and big size

[tired glade]

Oh,just 2 cameras

[dusky egret]

I thought they were basically the same thing

[finite cloud]

They haven’t unveiled the pro yet though

[stoic beacon]

I still get excited over it, but nothing from Apple has ever excited me. It's the same stuff, with the same absurd ecosystem restrictions, with higher prices.

There are plenty of companies innovating still. I'm excited about VR. I'm excited about foldables and AR. I'm excited about wearables (that aren't ecosystem locked).

[cedar quartz]

I was hoping at least better camera here come on

[tired glade]

Oh this is just standard

[finite cloud]

No the beats fit pro is AirPods Pro for $50 cheaper

[stoic beacon]

Apple will drip feed everything to the people they've trapped

[hollow citrus]

foldable phones are actually so cool it shouldnt be possible

[tired glade]

1,5 for outdoor,oh

[dusky egret]

Guaranteed that the prices of iPhone are going up 100 this year, hence binning off the mini

They'll have the plus sit at the 999 price point and say it's the iphone for most people

[tired glade]

Camera man knows what he does with that camera

[finite cloud]

There’s still a chance for a mini pro :)

[shell swallow]

don't get your hopes up :\

[tired glade]

Wait wait,first time auto focus?

[dusky egret]

Battery life

no

[finite cloud]

13 mini was better than the 12

[tired glade]

They add even more ai enhancement

[dusky egret]

Bruh how can they make HDR this boring, just show some side to side images and move on

[stoic beacon]

I hope they do it well, instead of whatever Siri is supposed to be.

Oh, you meant for photos specifically...

[tired glade]

Oh,they failing

[stoic beacon]

Not as blown out as Samsung, but still nowhere near the accuracy of Google and some of the others

[tired glade]

Just 2 cameras

Oh,my,that looks cheap

[finite cloud]

The non pros have only 2 cameras and has been like that since what the 11?

[ionic abyss]

only 2 cameras a phone needs atleasy 3

[tired glade]

Yes

[hollow citrus]

watch the base model is gonna start at $1100

[ionic abyss]

atleast

[finite cloud]

The mini used to start at $700 which was nice

[tired glade]

They removing enough port

[stoic beacon]

The mini was a rarity designed to get people who like compact phones locked into the ecosystem. Then they go back to the standard fare.

[shell swallow]

i think the 13 non-mini started at like $800? it'll be similar here. the pro max/ultra/plus will be closet to $1000

[finite cloud]

There’s one port what are they going to remove without making a stupid decision

[tired glade]

They will remove charger port next year

[wintry dagger]

apple is really good at rereleasing shit

[dusky egret]

bro they're really pitching no sim tray as a feature

[finite cloud]

iPhone 13 2

[hollow citrus]

tbh its probably the same chassis

then they dont need to buy new tooling

[wintry dagger]

everything is literally the same except for the new watch dive thing

[cedar quartz]

Sim tray gone 💀

[wintry dagger]

looks like it

[wintry dagger]

oof so once you buy your phone from your carrier you cant switch carriers 💀

[stoic beacon]

I am just stunned at the surprised being expressed in a Discord of tech users...none of this should come as a surprise. Not a single thing lol.

[hollow citrus]

the airpods case has some great improvements

[finite cloud]

Wait they took out the sim tray?

[dusky egret]

Yeah it's eSIM only

[wintry dagger]

only difference is the nc and the transparency mode

which is slightly better

[finite cloud]

Alright I guess the 12 mini is gonna my last iphone

[dusky egret]

It's going to be more difficult for people who travel as well. What a shame

[tired glade]

Wtf Apple?

[hollow citrus]

nah the case has a lanyard loop, find my, apple watch charging, and speakers now

[tired glade]

So, for most of humanity

[dusky egret]

not anymore, gen 1 pros are cheaper than fit pro

[tired glade]

Oh

[finite cloud]

Well it’s got satellite now so that’s cool I guess

[tired glade]

They want to remove g network

[stoic beacon]

They know that pretty much everybody outside of the US looks at Apple and realizes what a hellhole their products are. So sim tray not needed anymore. Main market for iPhones are the platinum blonde carbon copier girls from Mean Girls.

[cedar quartz]

Yeah I like this satellite thing

[finite cloud]

Oh I thought you said Gen. 1 AirPods

[wintry dagger]

wait no they didnt remove the sim card slot

you guys are stupid

[forest wedge]

finished installing ubuntu

[wintry dagger]

they have the sim card slot but you also have the option of having an esim

[finite cloud]

Oh. Who the heck said that then

[tired glade]

Are Apple have satellites ?

[wintry dagger]

idk

[stoic beacon]

It's not the 14 they're planning on removing it from, it's the 15
