[cedar pebble]

It’s the proper way to do it

[sonic spruce]

Is 2 Molex to an 8 pin gpu a good or bad idea?

[vapid smelt]

if you want to start a fire its a good way

[full fossil]

cook le pc

[sonic spruce]

What about 3 Molex?

[vapid smelt]

Molex adapters are sketchy

[full fossil]

used by barbarians

and ancient romans

[sonic spruce]

What about 2 Molex to 6 pin?

[candid magnet]

the romans used molex connectors to power their pumps that ran their aqueducts

[vapid smelt]

^

[sonic spruce]

Or sata to 8 pin?

Or 6 pin?

[full fossil]

it could theoretically work, as long as it isnt a shitty cable

[sonic spruce]

So basically no

[full fossil]

Poseidon uses flex tape

[sonic spruce]

Wtf can I do with molex besides fans ???

Another disc drive?

[full fossil]

molex can do 156w, with a good connector

that escalated quickly

[candid magnet]

if the bad part of the molex to sata adapter is the sata side, maybe molex isn't that bad?

[cedar pebble]

Aren’t both rated for 12v 1.5a?

[manic torrent]

"molex" is horrific

it's an absolute piece of shit disaster from 50 years ago that needs to die

[wind pulsar]

How Viva La Dirt League would say; 'Eat shit 'n die'

[sonic spruce]

This is the specs to my pc is there a way to get an 8 pin or another 6 pin or 2x4 pin connectors I can combine to a 8 pin?

Like six people are gonna get the reference too, it's fun

Since it's from a super old BORED episode

[manic torrent]

HP? ooooof. If the motherboard is standard, replace the power supply

[candid magnet]

sata side was the problem

[sonic spruce]

Upside down atx standard but yeah it’s standard

[sonic spruce]

I’d rather not for budgetary reasons

[manic torrent]

molex is rated for high levels of resistance and low levels of compliance, and it's an absolute piece of crap. the tolerances are huge and garbage

[candid magnet]

glorious molex connector supplying enough current to burn up sata connector without a sweat

[sonic spruce]

Then I’ll just get a fan hub or something ig?

[manic torrent]

get a second hand 12V external power brick and solder it

[sonic spruce]

Can I use a card reader?

[sonic spruce]

A what?

[cedar pebble]

Yeah honestly soldering wires is about as safe as using molex connectors lmao

[sonic spruce]

You mean a laptop charger?

[full fossil]

someone told me they didnt know who dre was, how to I break it to them that I'm killing them?

[vapid smelt]

dre? the rapper?

[manic torrent]

I solder wires that transfer FAR more current than a molex could dream of....

[cedar pebble]

Now that’s some gaming right there

[sonic spruce]

So I can’t turn molex into something for gpu, ok I get it

[vapid smelt]

bake a cake for them

[sonic spruce]

Do they make 1650 super with only 1 6 pin cable?

Molex has always scared me

It’s so flimsy

It’s extremely jank

[manic torrent]

you can be smart if you ARE smart, but if you don't know what you're doing, yeah you can blow stuff up

[sonic spruce]

Do I look rich?

[full fossil]

and you have to mess with the cables to get the pins and holes to align properly

[sonic spruce]

I have a 6 pin connector

[vapid smelt]

6500xt is for rich people?!

[sage quiver]

The measure miners went through to power their GPUs were mostly scary and often dangerous.

[full fossil]

molex to pcie is a scary contraption

[manic torrent]

This is the power supply for my RGB/etc

[cedar pebble]

For sure, the main thing is making sure you get high quality molex cables if any exist

[candid magnet]

1650 super is 100w, molex officially can support 5A, so in theory the two cables could support 1 1650 super

[full fossil]

I love it

[manic torrent]

They more or less do not

[candid magnet]

are you gonna show us the rgb

[cedar pebble]

Yeah not surprising lmao

[sage quiver]

What’s in the tin?

[sonic spruce]

Well I’m too broke do afford

[candid magnet]

not including the pcie power

[manic torrent]

more RGB 🙂

[full fossil]

are jee bee

[sage quiver]

Damnit, I don’t have it handy

[vapid smelt]

i think its agaisnt the law for old people to have that much rgb

[cedar pebble]

Tbf I plan on sending 500A through a small ass 4L pcb so I’m definitely bad with electricity 🗿

[full fossil]

I love that so much

how?

[inland night]

Philips hue probably

[manic torrent]

nope

[candid magnet]

arduino stuffs

[manic torrent]

all custom RGB strips with WLED / esphome and using signalRGB

[sage quiver]

Found it

[full fossil]

you got something you wanna tell jawa? @manic torrent

[vapid smelt]

was this after ltt?

[sage quiver]

Nah

I don’t recall which video it’s from, unfortunately

[sonic spruce]

My budget for a 1650 super is about $100 - 30 -15 =…

$55 usd unless other stuff goes on sale

[full fossil]

buy a 4090

[manic torrent]

The thing is, the flashes of white from an RGB strip (RGBW is ok) are absolutely punishing for power supplies, and most LED strips which come with cheap power supplies would burn out.

and there's too much voltage drop on 5V over modest distances, so I am using 12V, and they have dedicated 12-5V regs per strip

[candid magnet]

did you make a circuit diagram

[manic torrent]

not of this, it's mind numbingly simple

of this? .... also no, because YOLOOOOO

[candid magnet]

is the black box custom?

[sonic spruce]

HAH LOL

[candid magnet]

pontoon or sub?

[wind pulsar]

The custom black box, hell yeah!

[manic torrent]

pontoon, it's a rescue platform / tech demonstrator

[candid magnet]

how are you controlling the arm

[sonic spruce]

So what rubber mounts for a noctua 60mm fan would be good?

eBay or Amazon

I don’t want vibration

[manic torrent]

currently? I'm not. I had it setup to run through an ESP32 arduino, which it will again, but I need to setup reverse kinematics

[full fossil]

buy a blowiematron

[wind pulsar]

You won't need one, as all Noctua fans come with rubber pads

[sonic spruce]

FR?????

Thx ma’am

[wind pulsar]

Yeah.. I mean they gotta justify their price somehow

[sonic spruce]

True

[vapid smelt]

remember when linus stole pads from amazon

[candid magnet]

very cool, I'd like to make something like that someday

[sonic spruce]

Mouse pads?

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vorkmWa7He8

[manic torrent]

I got a noctua industrial 40mm .... turns out the fan that was in there was already actually more powerful. I then decided that I'd be better off with a bequiet 80mm fan, and it was much quieter (for my RC battery charger)

[sonic spruce]

Are deskpads worth it? Or should I keep using mouse pad only?

[wind pulsar]

Preference

[sonic spruce]

I’d prefer to have hand support

[candid magnet]

what are the black ducts?

[manic torrent]

Just do it - it's not prohibitively expensive. the arm was like $200 AUD, plug $100 of servos, plus wiring etc

[manic torrent]

50mm electronic ducted fans (e-jets)

to give rotational control and thrust

[sonic spruce]

Wrist rests I mean

[manic torrent]

I love desk pads. I have a small cheap one from amazon I'm using right now, and I take with me when I go to the office. LTT on my main desk

[sonic spruce]

Send amazon link

[candid magnet]

also flysky receiver? don't you have anything better? it looks like you fly fpv drones

[sonic spruce]

Also if I get a 1650 super should I use a pci 16 riser?

[manic torrent]

what would it need that would be better? It works with my TX16s, it has telemetry, it talks ibus to the arduino, the range is plenty for what it needs to be

[wind pulsar]

Why would you?

[mossy meteor]

Hi guys, has anyone ever had a hp elitebook 8460p? If so, why is the fan so incredibly loud?

[candid magnet]

I guess if it works then don't fix it, but I would've reached for a crossfire/elrs receiver with more range

[manic torrent]

I literally don't have anywhere to run it where an ELRS would be needed 😄

[sonic spruce]

It’s bent in the case where you would put the screw for it

[thorny cargo]

I miss covid in the sense that then i could wake up 5 minutes before school which is now 3,5 hours

Is there a 4 pin fan connector?

[sudden grail]

Which channel should I go 2?

[vapid smelt]

yes the pwm one

random question for everyone; if you could wipe your memory of an album and listen to it again for the first time again, what would it be? Also would it be on good headphones or great speakers?

[graceful burrow]

I wouldn't
I'd rather wipe my memory of a video game or two

[karmic summit]

thats perfectly cool. Id say id do that with the mass effect trilogy. and play it on PC instead of a mismash of playstation and PC

[graceful burrow]

I'd delete my memory of the elder scrolls series
I've put thousands of hours into oblivion, and hundreds in the others each

That or dark souls

[dreamy rose]

i'd wipe everything of NFS Hot Pursuit and absolutely love playing it again.

[karmic summit]

man, that would be a sick one.

Id also argue for final fantasy X

[dreamy rose]

i'd do Undercover as well but i like it for Nostalgia instead of it being an amazing game. its just flawed because it was rushed thats all.

Undercover is great. just not what it deserved to be.

[fossil frost]

if you have been blown out of your boots, the safety tech probably isnt that good 😄

[amber ginkgo]

hey

suggest me a good M.2 gen3 250-500 gigs ssd

let me see

from 30-55 dollars

just a good m.2 gen 3 ssd

lets take 250 gigs

only need it for the boot

mistake?

[fossil frost]

you need 500... because stuff gets installed to the bootdrive too, and it gradually gets clogged up with shit

250 was good in the win7/8.. .and early win10... 500gb is what you want now

[cyan vapor]

126/222 GB used for boot drive, win10, it's been years :P

no idea why you'd need 500

[fossil frost]

250gb usually have a smaller percentage of SLC too.. like 10%, 500gb will be higher percentage, so higher raw gb number too.. and 1tb will have an even higher percentage... and an even higher raw gb number too

so the 250gb drives only get their rated speeds on a VERY small amount of the drive, and on VERY small data transfers

which is why my boot drive is 1tb gen4... even though i dont use around 600gb of it... the performance is just loads better than the 250 or the 500

[cyan vapor]

for that price range, forget dram cache too :/

[fossil frost]

dram cache on nvme is pointless anyway... which is why its usually omitted

dram cache is for sata

[cyan vapor]

lots of nvme drives out there with dram cache, it helps with longevity too

[limpid fern]

It improves speed

[cyan vapor]

pointless and usually omitted eh, yet manufacturers like Corsair don't even sell a drive without cache.

[fossil frost]

funny... because this flagship drive doesnt have one https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Storage/M-2-SSDs/Force-Series™-Gen-4-PCIe-NVMe-M-2-SSD/p/CSSD-F2000GBMP600#tab-tech-specs

it uses dynamic SLC, same as almost all NVME drives

[cyan vapor]

I don't know why manufacturers dont advertise the dram caches, but tom's hardware says that drive has cache as well.

wait.. that was MP600 Pro

[fossil frost]

it says it has cache... but not a dram cache.. it has a SLC cache

[cyan vapor]

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/corsair-mp600-pro-m2-nvme-ssd-review-faster-speed-less-endurance

it says ddr4 cache specifically, but that might be a different product

[fossil frost]

ah, sorry, yes, the pro does indeed have dram cache AND slc cache

it also has 5 cores on its controller... :S

[cyan vapor]

I guess the trend is moving to SLC caches though, cheaper to manufacture and gets the job done

[fossil frost]

if the controller is good, and they use dynamic SLC, its not noticeably slower for consumers. will let manufacturers use all their dram for enterprise drives

Why is my laptop fan at 100% when both the cpu and gpu are below 35c

Cpu and gpu are around 5% usage

[rare spire]

anyone know why the newest GN video was removed before I could watch it? it was just their typical HW News video, got taken down for some reason.

[rare spire]

check BIOS.

[limpid fern]

It does this every few weeks

[rare spire]

how do you fix the issue?

[limpid fern]

Restart

Classic dell ig

[rare spire]

so all of a sudden, once every few weeks, it randomly ramps up to 100% fan speed regardless of workload?

[limpid fern]

Yea

[rare spire]

wtf?

[limpid fern]

Exactly

[rare spire]

is there anything else that happens on your system once every few weeks? a program you infrequently use?

it's possible it's a virus, and task manager is misreporting. have you run an antivirus scan? (not a quick one, but a full, indepth one?)

[rare spire]

I'd start there. tbh I've never heard of anything like this though

[limpid fern]

Yea

It did this since instal

Might be a win 11 issue

[rare spire]

are you running the stable build of windows 11?

fan control typically isn't done by the OS. it's either BIOS or custom software if you download it.

I doubt it's an OS issue tbh.

[haughty cedar]

could it be a connection problem?

[rare spire]

chad's got the big brain here.

true
but its dell

[dreamy rose]

we are talking about computers not peripherals

[rare spire]

I've had numerous issues with dell over the years. supposedly they were good before I was born. the old folks still say they're good now. I've been doing non professional tech support since the mid 2000s and they've always been garbage. I can't understand why people keep buying things from a company that makes unreliable, slow products that come preloaded with bloatware and have awful customer support and terrible stance on right to repair. as far as I can tell there's no upside, and yet for decades people keep buying them.

ty for the info ^_^

[fossil frost]

nvm... its JUST been marked as private 😄

[dusty rune]

yeah i was about to say

[fossil frost]

though because im already on the page, i can still watch it

[rare spire]

bruh

[dusty rune]

[rare spire]

words of wisdom.

[dreamy rose]

ngl i knew they were shit but my friend Was having issues for four months and in those four months of constant calling he finally got a refund.

how Shit does your company have to be to completely break your drivers, hang up. do the same shit for four months then give a Refund.

[fossil frost]

people dislike dell because disliking dell is the thing to do, and people are sheep. there is a reason that 1000s of businesses all round the world are kitted out with nothing but dell workstations

because they are reliable, and their customer support (for business customers at least) is impeccable

[dreamy rose]

Bad take, Businesses don't upgrade while consumers do. sure there's people who don't know shit and hate because its popular but dell is a Genuine shit Company. Proprietary Expensive brackets for upgrading drives? Fuck that.

[fossil frost]

dell are primarily a B2B business... and some of their excess bleads over to commercial customers... if you realise that is how it works... and consumers shouldnt buy from dell, only businesses... then you will realise that there is nothing wrong with dell, but customers of dell's have incorrect expectations of what they are buying

yes they should use standard parts... but... at the same time... if you are buying from dell, you should know what to expect

[rare spire]

side note, but in the rules is says you can contact the moderation bot for non immediate issues and a mod will get to it when they can... but I don't see how to contact that bot. how do I do this? my message was deleted because I said a word that a bot didn't like, now I have to rewrite the whole thing, and the word wasn't even a bad word, I have no idea why it's flagged.

[rare spire]

if a company makes bad consumer products, they either should not sell them or make them better. defending a company for making lots of E-waste makes no sense imho.

however, you're also right, consumers should realize that the products are garbage and not buy them. Sadly, most consumers are not tech savvy and rarely listen to the advice of the technical people around them for purchasing decisions... and then we're left to deal with their issues.

[dreamy rose]

normally phrases are banned because they are Copypastas or Racist or what not.

Can I ask my manager to contact my other manager so they can set my schedule up one job after another

Or is that werid?

[rare spire]

bruh

legit just trying to follow the rules here. I would just ask the staff, but you'll get "punished" for doing that if it doesn't require immediate attention... which realistically, it doesn't. the rules say to message the bot. but I can't do that because there's no clear way to actually talk to the bot.

guys how do i enable s3 sleep state in my laptop

it said that system firmware doesnt support s3 sleep state

is there anything in the bios i could do to enable it

[fossil frost]

there might be, if you look for sleep states in your bios, it might either be "max sleep state" or just have "S3: Enable/Disable" or something along those lines

if not... then you are SOL

[graceful jackal]

whats sol

also the laptop is an ideapad flex 5

some people said that it has a hidden bios

tho idk how to enter it

if you evade taxes you can save up for pc parts way faster

i <3 tax evasion

[short copper]

shit outta luck

[graceful jackal]

damn

sometimes S0LP sleep state fucking suck, it just overheats your machine and drain the goddamn battery out. S3 sleep state was just purely better in every aspect. i have resorted to hibernating every time i close the lid or press the power button. thing is, hibernating is slower than s3 sleep state. so thats why i want to have s3 sleep state back

most solution i found online is for linux where there is an option for s3 sleep state

or the solution is editing the acpi table of the bios, which i dont want to do because this is a brand new machine

and all my apps im using i think only comes in windows plus idk how to use linux

so yea think im shit outta luck

i cant get s3 sleep without sacrificing other features or machine stabillity

Best laptop at the time for $700

yeah no

good laptops don't come with shit customer service and bad support mixed with awful bloatware and lots of OEM Crap

[limpid fern]

What other laptop in 2020, in South Africa has a 1660ti, i7 10750h, 32gb 360.mhz, 2tb Samsung 980, is thre?

[dreamy rose]

maybe the spec was ok but it is Dell and comes will all the downsides.

[limpid fern]

Ive got a way around the bloatware

Well not windows bloatware

[dreamy rose]

Ah don't be scared just Debloat windows,

[limpid fern]

Eh its fine now

[dreamy rose]

its fine when the telemetry is gone

[limpid fern]

But since i installed win 11 the fan isnt controlled propper

[fossil frost]

its fine when its there too... telemetry uses no power at all... yes it shouldnt be there, but justifying removing it by saying it makes windows bloated is just outright lying

[dreamy rose]

Sounds like problems that come by every time a new windows releases

[fossil frost]

removing it "because i dont want to be tracked"... is fine

[limpid fern]

I dont care if people know my location, websites do it anyway

[dreamy rose]

will take up some drive space even if its minimal. but yes it shouldn't be there in the first place

[fossil frost]

its more the what apps i use, the buttons i click, the days and times i turn the computer on, the length of time i use the computer... all that is stuff MS dont need to know... crash reports... thats fine... they can have those... but they dont need all that other crap

[limpid fern]

I now have 6tb in my laptop, i dont cqre about a few mb

Anyone else hate the new task manager

[fossil frost]

probably because its controlled by a driver, or a 3rd party app (preinstalled by the laptop manufacturer), and you didnt reinstall those once you installed win11

nothing to do with win11, its more to do with your not completing your setup for your laptop properly

[limpid fern]

Oh well

[fossil frost]

i quite like it

[dreamy rose]

not everyone can afford outrageous amounts of stoarge. some have small boot drives

[limpid fern]

But it only does it every few weeks

[twin raptor]

I think it's fine

[limpid fern]

Its not a problem its just weird

[night heron]

i haven’t tried windows 11

[dreamy rose]

task manager or Telemetry?

[night heron]

i’m waiting for windows 11 enterprise LTSC which probably won’t release until late 2023 at the earliest

[fossil frost]

the word "hate" seems to suggest that there is a problem for you

[twin raptor]

Task manager

[dreamy rose]

havent used it an i'm skipping 11 anyway.

[limpid fern]

I dont like the look

[night heron]

windows 10 is supported until 2031 for anyone who really dislikes 11

[fossil frost]

2025

[night heron]

31

[twin raptor]

Not a big fan of telemetry, the information it sends is not relevant to making a better windows anyway. I'm okay with sharing usage info if it makes sense, but this just doesnt

[night heron]

(windows 10 enterprise ltsc IOT 21h2)

is supported until 2031

[fossil frost]

my only problem with win11 now is that the default install still puts the task bar in the centre, and it doesnt belong there, UX wise, its a stupid place to go

[fossil frost]

ahh... so the enterprise version... which no consumer is actually using.... home and pro versions are supported to 2025, which is what actual real world people are using

[night heron]

i guess i’m not real world people

[dreamy rose]

WDYM? your Age, Full name, Location, Credit card number, Social Security Number and Spec are all Crucial to making a Better windows.

[twin raptor]

Oh yeah, ig they could come in handy

Good luck finding my ssn tho lol

Hello i am Windows 11, and i have an IQ of 6!

[twin raptor]

pushes harder " I need the click"

[twin raptor]

At least 40, you are speaking

[limpid fern]

Just take a dremmel and make the notch yourself

[twin raptor]

Just as the pc gods Intended

[dreamy rose]

40 isn't needed to speak.

[limpid fern]

Or manually solder wires to the ram and cpu

[fossil frost]

since the IQ test is deeply flawed and doesnt actually provide a metric of inteligence, 6 can be just as good as 600 depending on what questions were on the test, who administered the test and where it was administered and under what conditions

[dreamy rose]

just ask those who Shill for Appke

[limpid fern]

Nerd

[twin raptor]

Read that anecdotally somewhere, I ha ve no sources

[fossil frost]

USA still thinks IQ means something, it does not

[limpid fern]

But apple is better

[twin raptor]

I know IQ testing is flawed because mine is 145(99.98th percentile genius) but I'm dumb af frequently.

[fossil frost]

only reason the USA hangs on to IQ meaning something, is because its in the law that says somebody has to have a certain IQ to be able to be executed...

[dreamy rose]

"BuT MaH ShItStY NiNe fOuR TwEnTy hUdReD dOlLaR CoMpUtAh!!!!1!"

[limpid fern]

No its not, according to buzfeed my iq is 322

[twin raptor]

Lol then mines off the known charts

[dreamy rose]

Buzzfeed says mine is 6000, the same IQ as 6000 PE Teachers.

[twin raptor]

Mines 69420 take that

[limpid fern]

Apple is better for certain things, customer support

[dreamy rose]

i knew nobody would get it

[limpid fern]

We know pe teachers are dumb

Pe is dumb xd

[fossil frost]

supporting customers by charging £400 for a £40 repair

[dreamy rose]

its a reference to a show from the 80s. little heard of today.

Red Dwarf. nothing like S Tier actors with British Comedy.

[fossil frost]

ive watched all of red dwarf, about 100 times... dont remember a PE teacher joke

[dreamy rose]

Holly's message at the start of Episode 2 iirc

its when hes talking about the accident

[fossil frost]

ahh now i remember 🙂

[dreamy rose]

who do you like the best?

[fossil frost]

original holly.. and cat... but only because of how well DJJ played being a cat, but as a cat that evolved to be human like

[dreamy rose]

there was one person who said that the Cat being played by him was kinda Racist, yeah hell no, he really did just play an amazing cat.

Anyone else coulda done it but he was PERFECT

my favorite charicter has to be Kryten. Such a Funny droid.

[fossil frost]

i love that he started off really up tight, then turned into a bit of an arsehole

[dreamy rose]

out of every charicter in the US Pilot he was the only one done by the same actor and therefore the funniest one.

[fossil frost]

the US pilot was absolutely terrible

[dreamy rose]

it feels like watching a Star Trek clone loosely based on the Red Dwarf plot but with the main charicters.

[elfin python]

How long do motherboards generally last

[dreamy rose]

untill you brick them or put too much voltage through them.

Why is Discord adding new features behind a paywall (Nitro)

[white fractal]

Because they actually need to make money and a profit if they want to stay in business

[rustic flax]

nitro is so worth it now

[mystic ivy]

I used to have Discord Nitro when that 3 Month free promotion happened on my old account

but I have not had Nitro ever since

[rustic flax]

yoo same!

i got that free enitro thingy cause i downloaded it on my phone

used the whole family's phones and used them

[mighty grotto]

i cancelled nitro for over a year when they deleted light mode for april fools

[night heron]

they’re trying to stretch the gap between the $3 nitro and the $10 nitro

[limpid fern]

Do you want to work for free with no exposure?

[night heron]

to give people more options of how they can afford to support discord

[dry trellis]

I've only used ios for a year but am a little lost coming back to Android lol

Trouble finding some settings (mind you, settings ios flat out just didn't have)

[limpid fern]

Use the search bar

[dry trellis]

Oh it was troublesome even then. A bug on this relatively new phone it seems where search occasionally wouldn't show anything

I've got it mostly figured out now

[limpid fern]

Which phone

[dry trellis]

Keyboard settings. The keyboard felt horrid coming to and having all these different gif and emoji and whatever. Had to turn a lot off. Felt cluttered

Zenfone 9

[limpid fern]

Sounds like an asus product

I dont know the phone

[dry trellis]

It is. However android is mostly stock

[limpid fern]

U want windows for phone?

[dry trellis]

5g settings and auto switching appear so far to only be accessible by searching

Absolutely not

[limpid fern]

One thing i hate abt my work phone (iphone) is that you cant turn off location service in the quick menu

So theres a perk of android

[dry trellis]

Oh I had the intention of coming back to Android. Just gonna be done growing pains after being out of it for a year. And also stock android on a new phone there's a lot of Google bloat

[limpid fern]

Looking at you Samsung

[wind pulsar]

[amber ginkgo]

I5-11260H vs AMD Ryzen 7 4800H, which performs better

keep in mind both are laptop/mobile cpu's

[full fossil]

I think, i5

[sinful dirge]

True although I had one that did have a brain

[full fossil]

IQ is trash, and person who designed it must be dealt with.

IQ represents nothing, we should have separate memory and intelligence tests.

[full fossil]

But do remember that if AI comes to play they will exceed the memory test way easier.

[dry trellis]

Fuck id fail a memory test

I feel like I understand concepts without issue, but so often the words to describe them leave my brain.

[full fossil]

Well that is not how "you understand"

This is more like someone or you write it on paper and forget.........

[dry trellis]

That's perhaps fair. I write stuff down to remember. But never actually revisit my notes because then I can recall.

[full fossil]

That what makes a good-obedient student. But not a successful one.

[dry trellis]

You know the poem by Neil gaiman. "The man who forgot ray Bradbury"

I recommend giving it a listen

[full fossil]

nope, not a literature guy.

[dry trellis]

I don't read often, but I actually only know it from listening to it. Recommended in Pandora after listening to a lot of Amanda Palmer.

It's worth a listen

[full fossil]

This world is sh*t itself, to become successful, one need to see some failure or incomplete-success

[dry trellis]

It's on Bandcamp to give a listen. I'm sure it's on YouTube too

||enough of digress||

When new quadro/server cards be comming soon? I see like generational changes in architecture of card so newer cards will be faster from hardware side.

[tired glade]

2023

And still no word about new CDNA

[mighty grotto]

december apparently for the RTX 6000 Ada

[tired glade]

Some sources say 2023

[mighty grotto]

https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidias-new-ada-lovelace-rtx-gpu-arrives-for-designers-and-creators

NVIDIA says December

[tired glade]

Oh,q4

They doing financial quarter, right?

[mighty grotto]

end of the text they spell out the month

[tired glade]

Oh, it's called fiscal

Starting in December

Can be paper launch

The NVIDIA RTX 6000 workstation GPU will be available from global distribution partners and manufacturers starting in December

It's not Ada, it's just Rtx 6000

[mighty grotto]

what

[full fossil]

refresh?

[tired glade]

They even dropped quadro

[mighty grotto]

that card is based on Ada

unlike the RTX A6000 which was Ampere

[tired glade]

RTX 6000 GPU

[full fossil]

just 6000?

[tired glade]

It's again Titan P situation

Yep,just 6000

[mighty grotto]

not really?

[tired glade]

It will look different

[mighty grotto]

Quadro RTX 6000 -> RTX A6000 -> RTX 6000

no confusion here

[tired glade]

They just dropped quadro

Basically,quadro 6000 is worse than 6000

Thanks Nvidia

[full fossil]

hi. everybody.

Who want to start business with me? You can get more than 20k monthly,
You should have some IT knowledge and from US or UK

[fossil reef]

Good morning folks. I got "an exciting opportunity " after commenting on the underpowered 4090... reported the fake LTT account

[full fossil]

of course a little knowledge need

[full fossil]

Well I will work but do not have skill, can adjust pay. But the main deal is I need overseas account.

[tired glade]

Hahah e

[full fossil]

MONEYYY

[tired glade]

Only people from Us,Hong Kong and Singapore apply

And UAE

[full fossil]

nah bro nobodys gonna believe 20k monthly

say like 1k or 2k and you'll attract more ppl with ur scam 😹😹

I am serious and you can get that without working

[glacial basin]

unless you're advertising on Facebook

[tired glade]

If it pyramid, yea, you can make 20k a month

[full fossil]

don't say more.

[tired glade]

Yea, it's pyramid

[full fossil]

"you can get more than 20k monthly" 💀💀

only reply if you are right candidate.

||Digressing?||

[tired glade]

It's recruitment,you won't go over 1% of CEO

Oh, it's can be a cult

[tired glade]

Haven't saw those since 2020

[full fossil]

||Can here be some tech chat||

this is some kind of strange business. if interest. dm,

[tired glade]

Yea, it's a scam

Anyway, alerting modes?

[full fossil]

Is it illegal to pay to get a job?

unfair for sure.

[full fossil]

of course

not illegal.

[tired glade]

4 rule

[full fossil]

which country and can I get some citation/proof?

and a certificate or contract to show legitimacy

[tired glade]

And company registration too

[full fossil]

dm

Okay. We should stop this topic and start chatting some tech-chat

[tired glade]

Someone dm him,if he link you something weird - it a scam

[full fossil]

Wait, just ask which country and Compnay registeration/LLC license number.

true

[tired glade]

It's publicly available information

[full fossil]

you can do it J2

what

It is a must as per international law for employment. Every country agreed and publicly display this nation wide through websites for legitimacy.

except if it is not-permanent/temprorary/contractual-based employment

[tired glade]

Cult pyramid scheme,are they still working?

[full fossil]

I need some help how much a Quadro T1000 can handle? I mean in polygons-&-triangles or some benchmark shapes.

[tired glade]

Thats pre rtx, right?

[full fossil]

way older architecture too, but my market is spammed from other countries scrap GPUs.

[tired glade]

770 lvl of performance

performance
2.500 TFLOPS

In 32

Any 2 gen old GPU in same price category will be better

[neon mesa]

we live in the age where 2 gen old is now RTX

time moves

[full fossil]

Well then it is better to go just expensive. For sure these people donot realise this is scrap by now and just selling/spamming at expensive. I will rather go RTX A4000

[tired glade]

Yea, special when new gen that close

[neon mesa]

i think i'll get a new GPU on january

by then the price effects of RX 7000 should be fully in play

dropping RX 6000 price more

[tired glade]

In high end, maybe, in low, most likely will be same priced

[full fossil]

How well intel UHD graphics handle CAD?

[neon mesa]

one word, no

yes if you like lag

[tired glade]

Cad not supported by igpus

[full fossil]

CAD and not graphic designing.

[neon mesa]

there are always ways to run unsupported shit
but it will run like your grandma

[tired glade]

You can load windows 11 on 8080,too

[full fossil]

Hurt, my Grandma is guns blazing 90s

[neon mesa]

no cap?

[tired glade]

Key word - load

[neon mesa]

aha

[full fossil]

I think semiconductors industry being bad, the hired shit-expensive workers and blamed all the expenses on us, even 1080 Ti should have costed around 300$ by now.

Time to riot against gamin industry.

[neon mesa]

it's always a dilema between paying worker nicely and paying 1200$ for a GPU

but rn it's mostly executive pocket

nvidia's margin is huge

[mighty grotto]

I mean a lot of the cost is also non manufacturing

[neon mesa]

70% margin

[mighty grotto]

Idk how you'd bill dlss training hours on their in house supercomputer against a GPU price ... but it's a necessity for DLSS and thus sorta part of the cost

[full fossil]

fuck me*

[neon mesa]

wasted

when regular upsampling like FSR works

[full fossil]

Useless DLSS they are optimising Hardware so fast like DLSS 6.0 will not run due to lack of tensor cores on RTX 3000s

[eager notch]

My grandma runs a marathon in 3.3 hours

[mighty grotto]

I mean that's just one of the examples, there's also software development that needs to be paid for etc

[full fossil]

Do have to give credit to DLSS though, it is very seemless and others are still trash and ghosts a lot.

[eager notch]

Just kidding, she's actually dead

[limpid fern]

F

[neon mesa]

meanwhile DLSS 3 fucking up UI elements

[mighty grotto]

You don't pay for the drivers but somehow the money for the programmers needs to materialise

[tired glade]

You pretty young, I see

[neon mesa]

which is a lot more of an issue that slight issue on one pixel

[tired glade]

World record is 2 hours

[eager notch]

I was joking. My grandma is actually dead

[full fossil]

Nah easy fix through game engines having separate rendering for UI

[eager notch]

Even running a marathon in 3 hours is pretty impressive for most people

[neon mesa]

added complexity for no reason

[night heron]

yeah they should render the UI on top of the frame instead of in the frame

that way motion interpolation won’t break it

[full fossil]

it's UI u think there is even some complexity?

[night heron]

it’s not for no reason either, motion interpolation is fantastic for bypassing a cpu bottleneck

[steel quail]

i don’t wanna build a pc so if anyone can tell me if my pc options are good can you dm me and i will send pics of specs

[full fossil]

Also it would be so less and useless since E-sports know that one face-off is either win or loose, no time to see UI

[tired glade]

I did it in 3'5 hours,a few years ago and was in mid of crowds

[full fossil]

wat it do guys and gals

Hello! @full fossil

[elfin python]

My dad suggested I spray my motherboard with evaporating alcohol spray but to be honest it’s probably dead and I will go into debt to replace it with stuff

[full fossil]

I spary WD 40 on my motherboards.

[steel quail]

what pc would be good for gaming and can handle games while maintaining a decent amount of storage maybe 1tb around the price range of £1000-£1060

[tired glade]

If you dry it, nothing will happened

[elfin python]

Well that was that I was thinking

But he’s kinda stubborn

[full fossil]

yeah it'll be fine if dried

why did he suggest spraying it? what is this on context to?

[tired glade]

It's fine,one of the ways to clean pc

[elfin python]

He bought a damn rtx 2070 super and the most he does is do excel work for his job

[steel quail]

don’t worry my boy eric from way back in 06 he used to take his motherboard out to the pool to clean it

[night heron]

i would look at an i5 12400f or r5 5600 based system with a 6700xt-6900xt depending on what resolution you play at

[full fossil]

Well the thing is there are companies even local shops who can assemble the PC for you around 50$, so you will still pay for hardware.

+1 that they even activate windows for you, once.

[steel quail]

leave it for 24 hours and it’s clean as clean can be

[steel quail]

1080P

[elfin python]

My motherboard is dead and I told my dad my pc is dead, and I could borrow money from him to buy computer parts and after I get a job I repay him

[steel quail]

i can use 720P sometimes

[full fossil]

what caused the board to die?

[steel quail]

it’s my first pc but i passed in computing and got the highest 9/9 Grade

[elfin python]

Probably old age and poor quality
It is an OEM Acer motherboard and it’s probably 8 years old

[steel quail]

but i’m nervous now because it’s been a while

[full fossil]

wait did you diagnosed? is there topic in #1027757333117415424

[steel quail]

can someone tell me in dms (i send a photo of 2 pc) and tell me if there worth it

[full fossil]

oh gottcha

Send me

snag a used one off of ebay

[elfin python]

Well I doubt it’s anything else
My psu works just fine and my cpu and gpu are in good condition

[elfin python]

Nah I’m thinking of upgrading already

[steel quail]

i have to be added to message

[full fossil]

Can it be just some boot looping but you took for not working?

[elfin python]

But I need an adapter for pcie to mini SATA
My art projects are in that boot drive

[elfin python]

I doubt because my fans would not spin

Everytime my pc boots I can hear fans and hard drives spinning

Now it’s absolutely nothing

No really nothing happening when I press the power button, psu is turned on

[steel quail]

hey

[full fossil]

can it be just reseating the ram?

[elfin python]

Probably not

[steel quail]

who do is speak with

[elfin python]

But I’ll try anyway if you say so

[elfin python]

Me

[steel quail]

hi

[steel quail]

i’ll dm

[elfin python]

My pc would boot without Ram but it would just show me an error if everything else is working

Soooo…. Dead motherboard…?

[full fossil]

no

make topic/ticket in #1027757333117415424, I'm comming along

[elfin python]

To be fair it’s the most likely cause since it’s one of the oldest parts of my pc

[full fossil]

goto #1027757333117415424 I will help you out there.

[elfin python]

Okay done

Is there any functional difference to using the old style amd clips as opposed to screwing directly to the backplate for my cooler master hyper 212 evo

[full fossil]

Ah can you ping me, i cannot see

[full fossil]

Got you ping.

[misty scarab]

I need food ideas

[elfin python]

French toast

[misty scarab]

For brunch

[misty scarab]

Ihop?

[elfin python]

Make it yourself

[misty scarab]

Not home

[elfin python]

Oh nvm

[night heron]

french toast > waffles > pancakes

[misty scarab]

It's getting awfully late for breakfast tho

[night heron]

you asked for brunch

[misty scarab]

Back in secondary school this would lunch

Meaning more of a lunch than a breakfast

It's only breakfast because it's my first meal

[night heron]

pick your own food

[misty scarab]

Can't decide

[elfin python]

How do I fix a broken power button

Turns out my power button is broken so my pc won’t boot

So instead I routed my reset button as power instead

I still have a black screen though

[full fossil]

food is for the weak

[small bramble]

hewwooo my laptop fails to update

[gilded quest]

[night heron]

you without food

[runic lagoon]

I swear that’s the kind of easy issue that ends up being an erase and install. Good luck.

[robust fjord]

Linus featuring inplay GS 250LK on the 4090 taming vid

[robust fjord]

imagine a guy buys a 4090 then buys this PSU

[tired glade]

You need those 4 8-pins after all

[small bramble]

i cant bro this has 4 years of things on it 2TB SSD

[brittle girder]

does anyone remember in some video i saw a charger that linus used or it was sponsor video, anyway it was endorsed for sure, its like one charger for many things, usb usbc etc. cant find it 😐

[tired glade]

No

[small bramble]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnVVQI-efls

is it this one?

[brittle girder]

oh no it was much more recent

and it wasnt docking station just charger that supports fast charging and had multi connectiosn for cables

[small bramble]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XbKf0A39rU

[brittle girder]

thats just cables no?

[small bramble]

bro im so hungry wtffff

[full fossil]

Hint: go eat

[finite cloud]

Life hack: food

[elfin python]

I feel like my pc is going to grow arms and attack me at night
It honestly is failing badly

[finite cloud]

If you have the money you should replace the parts that aren’t working

[full fossil]

fr, that's a good life hack.

[full fossil]

can't

[full fossil]

why is that

im doing a fast

[full fossil]

Fast??

cuz im an idiot and wanted to challenge myself

[full fossil]

no eat for 48 hours

[full fossil]

wtf.

[finite cloud]

Well don’t starve yourself

[full fossil]

New challenge how long can "you" go on without eating

im still drinking protein shakes

just, not food

[finite cloud]

And don’t question why you are hungry when you aren’t eating anything

[full fossil]

fair

[full fossil]

[elfin python]

Well I don’t officially have money to replace them

But if I did use the money in my bank account I would be in debt to my parents

[finite cloud]

Well. The least you can do is figure what’s wrong with your computer and make a list of what you need

[elfin python]

Either it’s a
-broken motherboard
-cmos battery gone bad
-bad gpu

I’ll try to replace the cmos first… since usually resetting it fixes the problems temporarily

[elfin python]

I would need a new motherboard… and cpu, and Ram, and ssd
Nobody makes LGA 1150 motherboard anymore so I may as well upgrade

[full fossil]

go for raptor lake

might as well

[lilac sage]

the chinese still do im pretty sure

[full fossil]

13600K is crazy value, 13400F is just a renamed 12600K

[lilac sage]

you could go to aliexpress and find multiple LGA 1150 MBs

but ye just go get a newer PC. its been almost a decade

[full fossil]

aliexpress can be kinda sketchy for pc parts

[lilac sage]

it is sketchy

but thats the most relaible way to get a new LGA 1150 MB

https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=LGA+1150&N=4814 600438202 100007627 this works too

all the cheapest ones are those made in china new

[full fossil]

yep

i dont think anyone wants to pay 200+ for a decade old mobo

[elfin python]

Let me check ddr 5 prices

[full fossil]

you can still do ddr4

[elfin python]

225 Singapore dollars for Corsair ddr5 4800mhz 2x16gb

[elfin python]

Oh yea true I can get a z690 DDR4 board

Is that advisable

[steel quail]

@lilac sage https://www.overclockers.co.uk/refract-gaming-jade-1080p-1440p-pre-built-gaming-pc-fs-1dj-ep.html

what’s your thoughts on that for under £1200

[full fossil]

go b660, overclocking is in the coffin

[elfin python]

True my hyper 212 ain’t gonna do shit with a 12600kf

[lilac sage]

thats fine

[steel quail]

overclockers delivery time is good?

[lilac sage]

no clue I dont live i nthe UK

[elfin python]

Then how about B660 ddr 5 board

[lilac sage]

I have no personal experience

but they are a reputable company

[elfin python]

And the cheapest brand name ddr 5

[full fossil]

sure

[steel quail]

any vouchers for overclcokers

[full fossil]

ddr5 just isn't price effective rn

[elfin python]

Eh I’ll see how it goes but I was considering ryzen 5 5600 btw

[lilac sage]

rn the 5800X3D is cheap in the US

[elfin python]

Also
Do people sell pcie to mini SATA adapter cards

I need it for this old boot drive so I can take out everything on it when I get the new pc parts

[full fossil]

hog it and start to flip them.

[steel quail]

expensive shipping for overclockers

[lilac sage]

is it expensive expensive or realistic expensive?

[elfin python]

So I guess I’m getting either:
B550 and ryzen 5 5600
Or
B660 ddr4 and 12400f
Or
B660 ddr5 and 12400f

[full fossil]

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/refract-gaming-jade-1080p-1440p-pre-built-gaming-pc-fs-1dj-ep.html this was the system I suggested to @steel quail

[steel quail]

yh

[steel quail]

shipping starts at £14 and increased depending on if it’s a saturday or sunday

[full fossil]

well then @steel quail OC UK got a system under 929 pounds

you donot need to spend all of the 1000

what are some PCIe accessories you guys use in your builds?

besides audio, network cards, and video capture.

[chilly zephyr]

wait that newest video

did they literally just receive that garbage for free since they didnt wire any money

did these guys just turn LMG into a free disposal service

[smoky wadi]

Will anyone add me as your friend on steam, I'm so lonely? https://s.team/p/gmhq-bjbb/cvhnccwf

[wind pulsar]

None

[smoky wadi]

anyone??

no

it's a steam friends invite link

first check

then say to the mods

[wind pulsar]

If it isn't, then they can just ignore the ping and thats it

[smoky wadi]

okay

I have a proof even, about that

[wind pulsar]

It isn't one, I still don't get why you would post a friend link still

[smoky wadi]

to make yall 101% sure that it isn't

idk for some security

[full fossil]

think i may just go ITX, cant find a reason why I would need the extra lanes

[smoky wadi]

also, the link is not what I want, I just need steam friends that's all I can remove the link and just name my username, in order to get the friend request

[south stone]

I mean, we're at a times where cpus are already overclocked the heck of it, so back to cooling solutions...

[full fossil]

What games ya play on steam

[south stone]

I wish the solution to keep things fresh (under 80c) wouldn't have to involve deliding, lapping, or a 720 aio.

[lilac sage]

doesnt seem that bad

how much does it cost to ship a PC case to somewhere else in the UK?

[wind pulsar]

In terms of ITX solutions, Deepcool LS320

[steel quail]

whatp

[wind pulsar]

Will cool esseentially anything that isn't a 13900k

[steel quail]

@full fossil is it as good?

[wind pulsar]

As what? the currys build I sent you?

Not even close

[steel quail]

no

the overclockers

[wind pulsar]

The one he sent you had a 12400F and a 3060 in it, the 929 pounds one has a 12100F and a 3050

That's a significant difference in terms of GPU power

[smoky wadi]

I like, indie games: terraria, stardew valley, undertale, deltarune and FPS: CSGO, Team Fortness 2, Apex Legends (sometimes) and good story mode: like gta san, gta 4 and Recident evil 4

[full fossil]

What's your steam name

[steel quail]

but it’s cheaper right

[smoky wadi]

rudork (with a ghost pfp)

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, of course

[steel quail]

i haven’t seen the £929

[lilac sage]

10100F and 1650 is much cheaper than both

[wind pulsar]

Also significantly worse

[lilac sage]

ye but cheap.

newegg prob has like 9100F and GT 1030 systems somewhere

even cheaper

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ADMI-A10-9700-Illuminated-Keyboard-Computer/dp/B077GXH1B2/ref=sr_1_5

lmao this one is awful

[wind pulsar]

This one is worse than the one I use right now lmfao

[full fossil]

go to dms

[steel quail]

so what’s the best bet for around the 1000 - 1200 mark

imma get that refract jade

i just wanna say thanks to everybody who was helping and if you find a better deal available on overclockers or curry’s just @ me it will be appreciated and thanks i am very grateful

Windows 11 says "adaptive (72 or 144)"
Why can't it go lower than 72?

good for my budget?

[full fossil]

build your own for cheaper

[steel quail]

can’t

[candid magnet]

can't build or can't find a cheaper config

[steel quail]

can’t build as installing windows is a roadblock

no laptops and no drive with windows activated

[candid magnet]

you don't need windows to be activated on the usb, but also you can buy windows versions that come with a usb

[full fossil]

get a copy of windows on USB and install from that

if thats your only road block there are ways around it.

still recommend building your own

[steel quail]

yh i know i could but i genuinely don’t wanna hassle (maybe when i’ve had a fair share of pc) it’s my first pc

[wind pulsar]

Stick with them not wanting to build one

Which is totally fine

[full fossil]

in the end obviously whatever they decide

but demystifying some aspects of it would help if it is a relatively easy road block

[wind pulsar]

People say that it's gonna take 2 hours tops, but when they're a total beginner and watch a video at the same time to build it, that's gonna take a lot longer than two hours

[steel quail]

so the cheaper version of this( downgraded version graphics wise) runs 180-220 in pubs (fortnite) and 340 in creative so i could say estimated 240-280 on my one

fps*

[full fossil]

as long as it lines up with your expectations then pull the trigger

cant say much to the final build quality as it is a toss up with some of these preconfigured builds, but should be fine.

[candid magnet]

good learning experience 👍

[full fossil]

half the reason i like building from scratch is I have total control over the software installation

dont have to worry about incorrectly configured setups.

and yeah my first ever desktop was one I built myself, dove right into it sophmore year of high school

and with the abundance of information readily available now-a-days, never been an easier time to DIY a computer.

just an expensive lego.

[fluid ridge]

because its adaptive from 72 or 144

[lunar geode]

HI

[wind pulsar]

Idk if you knew, but there's enough people that don't have that time

[final glacier]

Yeah probably

[final glacier]

i mean if it can go to 72 i would say it could go 36 or less too, idk

[wind pulsar]

If you prefer keeping a normal username, I'd change your username

Because mods are gonna change it as soon as they see itt

[final glacier]

okay i will

[final glacier]

what do they change it to

[wind pulsar]

Usually the meaning of the name

[final glacier]

what if they dont know the meaning

[hearty spear]

If they're feeling magnanimous, they'll ask. Otherwise they'll pick something.

[final glacier]

wtfah im not allowed to change my name??

[hearty spear]

nope, you're not.

[final glacier]

[plush jungle]

[lean palm]

[plush jungle]

I got it working I reset network drivers

I guess the fall scrambled stuff up

[hollow citrus]

[stoic beacon]

Too easy to be a troll and then swap it

[hollow citrus]

yeah i was planning on changing it to something really stupid

[candid magnet]

If you have gaming time you have building time

[dusk fog]

You can zoom in while watching YouTube videos now. I have wanted this feature for so long I can’t believe we finally got it

[dusty rune]

overall pretty good update

[dusk fog]

Yeah being able to get a close look at things during tutorial videos is going to be an absolute life saver

[dusty rune]

the color around the player on browser is annoying

[dusk fog]

The new dark mode on iPhone is so much better tho

check hard drive health if you have one

[wind pulsar]

That.. is not how that works

[spiral rampart]

i have a wired qoution i think their is a tool for it but i couldnt fin anything on google i think people here might have a answer
is their a way to find the coordinates (x,y) on er point on the screen given resolution
like some interface where i touch a point on the screen and i give the pixel coordinates

[teal estuary]

yes, APIs for that exist

i know GLFW can do it in a cross platform way, but that would require a fullscreen window, which may be fine if its mostly for testing purposes.

[spiral rampart]

thanks ill look into it

[frosty ocean]

This could be considered a strange question, but is ROG Rig Reboot still a thing? If so, how does one "apply" for it?

[worthy hatch]

Alr so its been 3 days i have been trying to update my pc.
It is always getting stuck while restarting during the update, i even left it overnight, it was still loading
Is there any fix for it?

[manic torrent]

I don't know, but I don't think so?

[worthy hatch]

All i saw on google was to hold down the power button and force restart
I cant even get into startup repair by using f11

[barren yarrow]

Downgrade 💯💯💯💯

[pulsar violet]

Thanks for telling me apple, after I write a whole paragraph

Sometimes I hate this eco system

[frosty ocean]

Rip

[lean palm]

I like my iphone but i’m not sure if I would get another tbh

[pulsar violet]

Yea just fusterating how uptight they are about the Apple Watch sometimes and how you have to factory reset it to do anything at this point

[worthy hatch]

Have you tried logging into i cloud through a pc then going into devices and removing the apple watch?

[pulsar violet]

Gonna rn

[full fossil]

@stoic beacon 👀

[pulsar violet]

Had to erase it cause apple really values privacy that they lock their own users out

Even contacted apple support

[worthy hatch]

Yeah idk i have not connected my watch to my new phone either

Just been using a normal watch

[pulsar violet]

Yea

[pulsar violet]

Nevermind I was scared for no reason

Apple really did keep my data… wait

[full fossil]

Oh they got it all.

About the latest video.. 5Ge shows up on iPad Air Gen 4 even though iPad Air 4 doesn’t support 5G

iPad Air 4 is only LTE

[candid magnet]

Explain how it doesn't

[hallow plank]

I extracted the firmware from the ipsw file and found out they are just tricking people

[full fossil]

People can be fucking clueless sometimes

[wind pulsar]

You buy prebuilts because you don't have the time to build them- preferably just plug it in and let's go, not build one and a half hour until like three or four hours (because prebuilts tend to be bought by beginners or people completely clueless about pcs) bombared by kids and/or being disturbed by calls or whatever. Some just want it to be plugged in, come back the next day after work late at night, go on the computer for two hours and be done with it

[frozen helm]

Gamakay lk67 and you have an easily upgradeable platform that looks and feels great for 100$

[candid magnet]

If one has hours to play games, they can spend that time instead learning to build a pc

[wind pulsar]

If you don't get it even after that explain, then you're simply neutrally ignorant because you don't know or have any understanding how hard it can be with brat- I mean kids, an idiot, or simply don't care 🤷‍♀️

[full fossil]

can anyone help me out with speeding up download speeds for steam? vc would be easier for me

[candid magnet]

Video game time is like the lowest importance, anything you want can replace video game time

[wind pulsar]

Except you, have I said anything about gaming though?

[wind pulsar]

And what I explained doesn't even include that some people just don't want to build a pc because they're lazy fucks

[candid magnet]

I'm only considering prebuilt gaming computers

If you have time to play games on the computer you plan to buy, you can use that time to build it too

[candid magnet]

My original message was "if you have gaming time then you have PC building time"

[wind pulsar]

So? I specifically left out the gaming part, don't you force it on me

[candid magnet]

Now you're arguing against a completely separate point

[wind pulsar]

I'm not arguing with anything, you wanted an explanation, I got you one

You don't want to accept that, that's not my problem

[candid magnet]

I asked for an explanation of "if you have gaming time then you have PC building time"

And how that's not the case

[white fractal]

Because knowing how to build a PC has zero value to gaming?

[candid magnet]

I believe it does, but more importantly if you plan to game on a gaming pc, and are looking to get one, you do have time to build it if you have time to play on it

[molten drift]

Ok.. so what about people like myself where even with our prostetic building a PC is very difficult

I game. on my.pc and would much rather have had a warranty, and someone build it for me .

[hearty spear]

There are a lot of reasons people would rather buy a pre-built, and we don't have to have it be justified.
If someone doesn't want to build it? That should be the end of it.

[candid magnet]

you have time to build it regardless, I'm not saying everyone has to

[dusk fog]

I had no idea that I could only send images because I have floatplane I’ve just been doing it lol

[white fractal]

I mean, gaming is about enjoying time, you know, playing a game. Not learning something you don’t care about.

[hearty spear]

No

[wind pulsar]

I didn't even consider that, that's a very good point

[wind pulsar]

Are you trolling?
