[near nymph]

Well… distributor

[vapid plume]

Nice

[near nymph]

Adventure 4 is a wonderful printer. 10/10 would recommend

I have one to bring to libraries to show off 3D printing

[vapid plume]

Yeah, my finder doesn’t even have a heated bed

[near nymph]

Well it’s good for ABS.

I mean it’s not a fancy printer.

Lol I use old filament boxes to ship stuff.

I used to use anycubic filament.

[vapid plume]

It does print pretty good though apart from the bottom warping

[near nymph]

It’s stacked to the roof

@vapid plume heads up. Don’t get ERYONE filament

It’s shit

Different spools.

💩

[vapid plume]

I do have to say, the filament included with the printer wasn’t all that great

[vapid plume]

That’s baaaaaaad

[near nymph]

Flashforge sample printers are kinda 💩

Exception to the creator 3 pro

[vapid plume]

Too expensive for me

[near nymph]

This is the stuff the creator 3 pro comes with.

[vapid plume]

Did flashforge improve their filament in the past couple of years?

[near nymph]

These are some local Canadian filament I have. Not cheap.

[near nymph]

PLA Pro? Yes.

PLA is just cheap.

[vapid plume]

Good, the included spool was really bad

I now buy renkforce filament

Do those filaments come with a resealable bag?

[near nymph]

NOPE.

Only resealable bags I know… is Polymaker, Zortrax, this weird Chinese stuff…

[vapid plume]

It’s pretty damn handy

[near nymph]

Polymaker is my favourite filament brand

I just don’t have a wholesale agreement with them

[vapid plume]

Is that the one with the nice smell?

[near nymph]

Wdym nice smell?

It’s plastic. It smells like shit

[vapid plume]

There’s a filament with pancake smell or something when you print it

[lethal copper]

Oh boy about to try my luck buying cod mwii in Russia

Costs exactly 60$ so I don't think I'm overpaying, but will require some Argentinian xbox redeem shenanigans

As kids these days say, YOLO

[brittle cloud]

$60 for a laggy game that freezes a lot of the time

[lethal copper]

Ehh I heard a lot of positives

And I loved MW2019

Despite being able to run it at 20FPS 480p when I got it

[brittle cloud]

its good until the servers freeze

[viscid phoenix]

Felt dumb while trying to figure out what's wrong with my webcam

It turns out the laptop hinge clamps it so it can't get power through

I've failed 😔

[near nymph]

Don’t be like my friend. Don’t sniff 3D printers. He did that with ABS and now he has stage 2 Lymphoma

Cancer

[graceful burrow]

Abs is known bad

Regular pla is fine

[viscid nymph]

good morning

[frigid ice]

Anyone sort out crashing issues with MW2 ? my games seems to crash like every second game

[near nymph]

It’s melting plastic at the end of the day.

[glass bramble]

hey guys what mouse is the best for you the steelseries rival 3 or the logitech g203?

[near nymph]

Shouldn’t be sniffing that stuff

[graceful burrow]

g502

[glass bramble]

bro i have a budget

[graceful burrow]

it's like 49 bucks

[glass bramble]

and im not from the us so not everything is cheap

[near nymph]

Where you at?

[graceful burrow]

you asked what the best mouse for me is

[glass bramble]

yes but i chose these 2

[full fossil]

Lol, I read it the same way.

If you're on a tight budget, it's probably best to follow deals and grab whichever one is a good deal and mouse.

After a certain point, people have preferences on what is "best".

[oblique nexus]

hey guys i put toghter a new rig and i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions

[near nymph]

Huh?

What suggestions your looking for?

[oblique nexus]

11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700KF @ 3.60GHz 32 gb of ram and a 3060 ti

[shrewd karma]

g103 is also very good

[oblique nexus]

i have some studders when playing games

[shrewd karma]

Lasted me 3 years of punches

[near nymph]

What games?

[eager notch]

I prefer to huff spray paint thank you very much

[oblique nexus]

scum gta rp r6

[shrewd karma]

Maybe you haven't turned vsync on?

[oblique nexus]

i dont think i do

[shrewd karma]

Try turning it on and see

[oblique nexus]

ok

[elfin frost]

do you think core isolation is important or is it ok to disable it bc i wanna use msi center over clocking features

[vapid plume]

I don’t sniff 3D printers 😂

[echo ridge]

where you live

[eager notch]

Idaho

[visual fern]

i cant load the roll into my designjet plotter

[jovial depot]

my mom got diagnosed with diabetes but she rarely eats anything sugary...
maybe its because she isnt active a lot

[jovial depot]

thanks for the five guys french fries

[eager notch]

Five guys isn't any good though

[jovial depot]

i like their french fries

but the prices tho 💀 😭

[cinder terrace]

you got windows 11?

[cursive solar]

is there a really big different from a 3050 and a 2060 super? bc the 2060 super is slightly cheaper and idk if its worth it to buy the 3050

[cedar linden]

idk if this is normal but about 1 in every 15 boots i get no post and then i just turn my pc off and on and it’s fine. is this normal?

[shrewd karma]

do bit of research of how much sugar wtf you buy from the supermarket has and then come tell me she doesnt consume sugar

the amount of sugar in a simple tomato sauce is crazy

literally you are better off eating sugar from a spoon than this shit

[jovial depot]

she eats like once a day. she stopped eating sweets three years ago...

[shrewd karma]

you dont have to eat sweets to eat sugar

its in everything, literally

[jovial depot]

the once a day is flatbread, lentils, and rice

[shrewd karma]

then its from her family

so you better go check out yourself too

[jovial depot]

still but you get diabetes by eating really sugary stuff. My best friend eats a lot of sugary stuff everyday but he burns the calories by going to the gym everyday so i don't think he will get it

[shrewd karma]

bro

its not that simple to say diabetes is from sugar

[jovial depot]

im jk ffs

[shrewd karma]

bruh

[jovial depot]

she aint my mother so doesnt matter

[shrewd karma]

why would you joke about your mom having dibates

diabetes*

[jovial depot]

i wasnt joking about that

[jovial depot]

i was joking about this

[jovial depot]

she is my stepmother so

[shrewd karma]

[jovial depot]

what

[shrewd karma]

kids these days

[jovial depot]

TELL ME

[weak sonnet]

yeah it really doesn't have to do with sugar

that's just the memes skewing facts

[hearty crane]

Linus: AMD offers great excellent access to overclockers
Doesn't realize the YEARS of reverse engineering work Hydra is built off of.

[tawdry rapids]

i almost got diabetes, and it is mostly from eating sugar too much compared to other sources of energy

but ive since fixed my diet

[lusty heron]

Should i get a evga 3070 or a msi 6800 xt

[paper glen]

dor my brother im looking for a gpu to go with a 5600x and im thinking of a 3060ti, 3070 or an amd equivilant. i have no experience with amd gpu’s zo no clue whether or not it is any good. i will be the one to solve any issues and thus not looking for any.

[full fossil]

Did i get kicked out from here?

[mild elm]

6800xt for sure

[full fossil]

Server disappeared from my list idk why

[mild elm]

6700xt is the same as 3070 for a lot less

I’d go for that

[paper glen]

and no issues?

[full fossil]

Yo guys

[empty carbon]

hello

[signal badger]

2060 super is just slightly slower than the 3060

3050 is quite a bit slower

3050 performs more in line with 1660ti

[frigid ice]

10

[signal badger]

They are trying to find a reason to recommend amd.....tbh, the only reason and also the reason most amd gpu buyers are buying it is because value for money

[cinder terrace]

Oh alright. Not sure then.

[signal badger]

simple as that

6800xt can beat the 3080 is rasterized performance and even 3090 in some cases, being much cheaper, so it's a great value for money

ofc, we are ignoring a lot of value added stuff nvidia has, but most gamers dont really care about those, those who do wont buy amd anyway

deriving from amd's charts, and using the 6950xt and 4090 benchmarks already available, we can kinda tell the 7900xtx will be 80-85% of the rasterized performance of the 4090 while being almost 40% cheaper, but rt is gonna suck, expect 3080ti level rt performance

[paper glen]

how is the 6650 xt?

[cinder imp]

Is anyone else having a weird buffering-issue trying to watch Youtube or Netflix where it just loads the quality to 360p and buffers almost every few seconds? I am perfectly fine with other things lol

[signal badger]

youtube, nope

[cinder imp]

that's weird, yeah all of a sudden my PC is having a issue watching youtube and netflix but i can go on twitch and other things perfectly fine

and i checked my PC and did a whole scan, everything is fine along with my router and upload speeds/data

[signal badger]

did you try a different browser

[cinder imp]

I tried microsoft edge (yes I know) my Netflix works better there but it still buffers.

I've cleared the cache too, idk it's weird but I can watch youtube and netflix perfectly fine on all my others devices. it's just my pc sadly

[signal badger]

did you update any gpu drivers lately?

[cinder imp]

nah i've had this issue for acouple of months

some days it's perfeclty fine then it's back to being trash

and my PC specs aren't bad either, neither is my SSD or HD's so i'm not sure if it's a corrupted chrome file or what

[signal badger]

hmmm

[cinder imp]

could I dm you

[orchid swallow]

have the stand off but not the screw for my m2 ssd

how to MacGyver this

also hard mode because i dont have tape or zip ties

[mild elm]

I’d do 6700xt

Less than a 3060 ti

[signal badger]

Sure

[echo ridge]

6650xt if you don't have the money

[tepid bolt]

Considering that the 7900xtx is the 4080 16gb competitor according to AMD I genuinely believe they're probably overtaking Nvidia this gen.

Depends on what the 4090ti offers

[mild elm]

He was looking at 3070 so he does have the money

[slate agate]

a $2000+ price tag

[jaunty topaz]

anyone have budget chair recommendations? anywhere from $100-$150 is what i’m looking for

[dusky egret]

IKEA Markus

Also did anyone see Linus’ recent tweet ☠️

[spiral hare]

anyone tried logan paul & ksi’s prime?

[signal badger]

It's gonna beat the 4080 in rasterization for sure, no questions there. But they are still far off in RT

The rt performance is expected to be 3080ti/3090 level, which is already 75-80% of the 4080 (RT)

But hey, if u don't care about RT, what AMD is offering would be awesome

[sonic spruce]

What’s the name of a desktop pc that uses a laptop charger for power?

[signal badger]

Sff?

[sonic spruce]

?

[signal badger]

U can use DC to atx adapter

[sonic spruce]

What’s the name of the computer tho?

Like it’s an itx desktop pc but it uses an ax power brick cuz laptop ram and desktop cpu

[signal badger]

Mini PC? They don't really have a general name

[sonic spruce]

Oh ok

[fervent prairie]

get a office chair. gaming chairs are mostly bad for your back🦆

[fluid ridge]

how?

i thought gaming chairs forced your posture when gaming hence gaming chairs

[ocean narwhal]

im no expert on ergonomics but im pretty sure most gaming chairs are designed after car bucket seats which are not designed to be comfortable nor good for your back

[slate agate]

a good office chair is better then a gaming chair

the reason you see gaming chairs pushed by like every techtuber is they are sponsored, they are given the chairs most of the time on the condition they use them in their videos.

[ocean narwhal]

I want an xchair once i get myself a proper jopb

my brother got one he liked it a lot

[fluid ridge]

man i need a chair that ties me down with straps

you guys know L from death note? how he sits forward and has his legs on his chair? i do that ocassionally

[ocean narwhal]

👀

[fluid ridge]

i feel like a chair that forces you back against the chair itself is the ultimate posture saver

[ocean narwhal]

I be sitting cross legged / "indian style" all the time

even at work a lot im sure it looks strange to ppl

[fluid ridge]

scoliosis

[ocean narwhal]

scoliosis awsom

[paper glen]

yeah should be fine just looking for back for the buck preformance and whats avalable in the netherlands

[echo ridge]

6850xt when

Hi momo

[tender glade]

how the fuck does microcenter afford this

[echo ridge]

Isn't the 12700k more the 350

It is

[tender glade]

yeah they give you a free motherboard with the purchase of the cpu

[echo ridge]

Is that the ddr4 or 5 one

[slate agate]

ddr4

[echo ridge]

Because the 4 is 230

[wind pulsar]

By reselling stock they either couldn't sell or selling returned stock

It's better to just have them gone instead of having them on a shelf for a long time

[ocean narwhal]

thats a pretty good deal eh? wtf

[echo ridge]

Honestly the 3600 is kinda meh

The 12th gen is amazing

[ocean narwhal]

3600 kinda old now

but 350 for 12700k + ddr4 mobo

[echo ridge]

The board is 230

And the 12700k is 357

[slate agate]

get the am4 combo, resell the 3600 on the 2nd hand market, help offset putting a 5800x3d on the board

[echo ridge]

Or get a 12700k plus the board sell the 12700k get a 13700m

12700k

[wind pulsar]

Or simply don't, keep the 12700k and use it, since there's zero need to sell the 12700k

[stuck stratus]

what's wrong with a 12700k

[gilded quest]

They got the socket wrong on the ad lol

[shy patio]

Question, there is a movie i want to have but it is not on any platform besides Youtube! BUT the original is in Danish! is it possible to change language when buying a movie on Youtube? 🤔

[wind pulsar]

I assume by changing your viewing region

[shy patio]

changing location?

[swift idol]

VPN

[shy patio]

ooh

i dont have VPN :/

[swift idol]

WindScribe is free for like 30gb.

[ocean narwhal]

be very careful using a free vpn

[swift idol]

It's fine for getting around geoblocks

[ocean narwhal]

I prob would shy away from it, i cant imagine using it to watch youtube is a big deal tho

[echo ridge]

I was just saying you could not that you shoulf

[swift idol]

You're under arrest for watching youtube

[dusty rune]

this isnt fair

😭 😭 😭

[swift idol]

Strong USD means better pricing on parts. American's get the good stuff

[echo ridge]

I'm driving to the us now

[dusty rune]

i need a visa

[echo ridge]

Hehe canada

[dull granite]

soooo is windows 10 AME basically dead?

[echo ridge]

No visa travel

[shy patio]

but so basicaly i need to be on the VPN even if i buy the movie whilest on the VPN to get English language?

[dull granite]

1000-1050$ then?

does amazon ship to india

like without overpaying

[swift idol]

Isn't India's computer parts insanely inflated price ?

What about a 6600-xt ?

[dull granite]

uh

how to check which amazon listing is official

like straight from intel

or straight from msi

damn

[swift idol]

the right side "sold by"

[dull granite]

ok

who the hell is Appario Retail Private Ltd

[swift idol]

You're going to need a bigger budget by the sounds of it.

[dull granite]

https://www.amazon.in/dp/B09NPJX7PV?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

[fossil frost]

hmmmn... firework induced fog outside my house is so thick... that i cannot see the house across the street... about 100 metres away...

[dull granite]

check this out
Is this legit?

nope
no reviews

do you have any local

computer stores

like you could go there to check the prices

damn

thats a lot

can you google map it

and check if they have a website?

oh yea check your regional stores first

bruh

oh

do you know any indian pc stores

like with a website

[swift idol]

You're going to need a bigger budget or accept a lesser build than a 3060

[dull granite]

nice

not secure site

[orchid swallow]

wow is this placebo or is 32 gb 3600 mhz making everything feel faster

going from 16 gb 2113 mhz

[dull granite]

60k for an 3060?

[fossil frost]

given that you are probably lying again, i would say its imaginary... but if you are indeed telling the truth, there will be a noticeable difference in a lot of applications

[dull granite]

wait

can you buy from other stores

or exchanging indian rupees for dollars would be a bad idea

[echo ridge]

No

[orchid swallow]

what did I ever lie about

[fossil frost]

quite a lot a few days ago

[orchid swallow]

like what exactly??

[dull granite]

oh

[fossil frost]

your age, your system, your knowledge of.. well, stuff in general... i could go into a lot of specifics, but, i cant be arsed to scroll back to get them

[dull granite]

apperantly 60k rupees is ~730 dollars

but probably it wont ship

[swift idol]

Agree with what you said from my observations too.

[dull granite]

400$?

[north gust]

I have an RTX 3060 OC Eagle Edition By Gigabyte i bought 3 weeks ago
Whenever the fans start spinning, there's a rattling sound for a second then it goes away
Should I RMA?

[dull granite]

its

360-400$

[orchid swallow]

I never lied about my system, someone implied I was in 7th grade and I jokingly corrected them saying "no 8th grade". If you take that seriously its on u

[fossil frost]

your words and how you act, as well as your name on here, suggest that you were not joking

[north gust]

Ahem...

[orchid swallow]

it's discord dude

not serious business exactly

[dull granite]

uh

its asus?

or which one

asus dual 3060 v2?

can you just send link

[north gust]

That's too expensive. I found Gigabyte one For $320

[swift idol]

I paid £1499 for my card. I hate the thought I bought the FOMO

[dull granite]

i mean in europe you can find rtx 3060 for 450$

it is a bad price

but you cant do anything about it

[grave fox]

Any predictions on Samsung black Friday deals?

[dull granite]

its accepatble

but its like

more than half of your budget

ye

[north gust]

Ye

[dull granite]

send the link then

[north gust]

Sure one sec

Nevermind

Indian Rupee fell so low

[sonic barn]

on ebay a 3060 is 225$ usd

[north gust]

I didn't realise 440$ is 35800 INR now

Damn

[dull granite]

oh yea

@full fossil check used market

[north gust]

Holy hell man. Glad i got GPU earlier

[dull granite]

buy used

[sonic barn]

https://www.google.com/finance/quote/INR-USD?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjwk5WU_5f7AhV3hIkEHQHpCQUQmY0JegQIBhAc&window=1Y

[north gust]

Yeah try OLX.in

[dull granite]

cuz rupee dropped 25%

[dull granite]

now only issue should be availability

cuz big country

i can

but you will have hard time finding it

[north gust]

Can you help me out for a bit

Your budget maybe too low

[dull granite]

ok

[sonic barn]

just download more ram

[north gust]

Ayo can y'all just help me with 1 question cos I'm balling my eyes out cos i think something happened to my new GPU

[dull granite]

@full fossil i guess you should buy used parts
theres basically no different choice

you're one that can find them yourself

because we don't know where you exactly live

[swift idol]

What did you do ?

[dull granite]

and driving 500 miles to get your one pc fan isnt worth it

[north gust]

I have an RTX 3060 OC Eagle Edition By Gigabyte i bought 3 weeks ago
Whenever the fans start spinning, there's a rattling sound for a second then it goes away
Should I RMA?

[dull granite]

hm

[swift idol]

So a fan

[north gust]

25,000 INR

[swift idol]

RMA it, it's a fan if it's under warranty

[dull granite]

no more than 300$, maybe around 250$ would be a realistic option

[dull granite]

oh in indian market

[north gust]

It happens only when fans start spinning and once they're spinning it stops

[swift idol]

Yeah it's the fan

[dull granite]

thats pretty good

do they send it to you or you have to get it yourself?

[north gust]

What's the issue in it

[swift idol]

It's broken, the bearings are probably ruined

[dull granite]

olx is more like you contant the fella

[north gust]

You ask them, and if there's the option to get it, go get it yourself offline

[dull granite]

and you money pay and they thingy give

[north gust]

Shit.

[dull granite]

you can try to strap on some external fan

but it will 100% void your warranty

[north gust]

Any idea WHY it happened

[dull granite]

cuz youre modifying it

[swift idol]

Shit happens, things break.

[dull granite]

cheap fans

its gigabyte eagle bruh

[north gust]

Nope. You're not paying to a seller but a man who is selling his old stuff

He might as well just send u a brick

[dull granite]

ye

[north gust]

Gigabyte has cheap fans????

[dull granite]

yep

its gigabyte eagle what do you except

[north gust]

What if the New Unit also has the same issue

[swift idol]

To be fair, thing's go faulty on parts regardless of brand, things break that's why you get a warranty.

[dull granite]

this shit made for half assed prebuilts or ones who wont pay 50$ more for gigabyte gaming oc

[swift idol]

Then you should buy a lottery ticket

[dull granite]

bruh

[north gust]

Thanks. Guess I'll have to fkin take a day off from work to go get it replaced

[swift idol]

I mean if a faulty graphics card is the worst of your worries, you're doing good in life.

[north gust]

Yeah, i mean i spent my first ever salary (entirety of it) on 3060

So it is worst of my worries

[swift idol]

Lucky you.

take it as a blessing

[north gust]

How!?

I spending the second salary on CPU+Mobo upgrade (Going from i3-9100 to i5-12400F)

[swift idol]

Well you aren't in the hospital dying for example. A faulty GPU is hardly the end of the world. RMA it and get it replaced.

[north gust]

So i can go back to the store who sold it to me?

[dull granite]

nice
i3-9100 to i5-12400F is a big jump

[swift idol]

Well yeah.. that's what warranty is

[north gust]

I thought Gigabyte Only showroom...well that's one relief

[north gust]

Yeah. After this I'll have to upgrade PSU

I'm Running 500watt

[dull granite]

ayo

this might not be enough for stable rtx 3060 usage

but i dunno if it works for you

does it crash anytime?

[north gust]

I don't really overclock it

Hasn't crashed so far. Had a BSoD once but i think it was RAM

[dull granite]

oh then its fine

[swift idol]

I must be super lucky as I never have trouble with my PC in over 6 years

[north gust]

I play like Genshin Impact, Fortnite and Resident Evil 2 on 1080P 60FPS

[north gust]

Here i am with a 6 month old PC and spending all my earnings on it and still getting issues

[north gust]

So don't have to Overclock

[swift idol]

Luck of the draw

[wispy marsh]

The wan show this week, i have mixed feelings

I like the discussion, but the wifi in france seems terrible

[north gust]

@swift idol

[fossil frost]

only troubles i have ever had are ones that i have created myself

[north gust]

https://youtu.be/Qj78YUm4tP4

This is exactly what is happening to my GPU @swift idol

RMA?

[swift idol]

Yeah. So it's the fan

stop asking dude, you know it's faulty lol. Send it back

[fluid ridge]

now now

everyone has struggles, no need to be a hardship one upper

[swift idol]

Can't help it. Part of the internet rubbed off on me.

[fluid ridge]

"i lost my arm in a boating accident"
"at least you had arms to begin with"

like smh man

[swift idol]

Sorry mother, won't happen again, Mother

[fluid ridge]

you are forgiven my child

👼

now dont do that shit again or ill beat your ass you hear me

[fluid ridge]

i believe you just have bad fan bearings

[fossil frost]

depending on your branch of christianity... that is very accurate.. an alternative is the expectation of payment for the absolution of sins... or, the branch of christianity that one belongs to could be a cult of child rapists who use their power to cover their tracks and maintain their power

[fluid ridge]

take the ol puppy out and drench it in some vegetable oil or lube or something

[fossil frost]

i think what i just wrote violates the "no religion" talk though

[swift idol]

Wise idea when it's under warranty ?

[inland oracle]

i love it when i search for a program and it changes to a bing search at the very last frame before i press enter

[fluid ridge]

well it's an easy fix

[inland oracle]

microsoft inflating their stats

[fluid ridge]

if you want to RMA it you can but that's such a hastle for such a quick fix

[fossil frost]

thats why web search is turned off 🙂

[fluid ridge]

or you could also ignore it/turn the fans off

[swift idol]

So you are going to tell someone who's upset their card is broken and admitted crying, encourage them it disassemble it, take the fan out, drench it in oil and put it back together.

[fluid ridge]

sorry he cried over his gpu

i take back what i said about you being a hardship one upper

that guy needed to hear those words

[fossil frost]

RMA the card, if you were capable of fixing the card, you would have already tried, or looked into it, and wouldnt be in here asking...

[north gust]

Pretty much yes

I'll ask the store to give me another brand atleast. FK gigabyte

[fluid ridge]

what GPU do you have?

[north gust]

3060

[fluid ridge]

also gigabyte GPUs are fucking ass

my gigabyte 3070 came with a bent power connector

[north gust]

My Dumb friend who i thought was Tech Savvy told me GIGABYTE BEST GPUs

[fluid ridge]

i literally spent hours trying to force that shit in and i realized it had a bent pin

[north gust]

Won't be returning the fkers money anymore

[fluid ridge]

i took a screwdriver and just unbent the pin, fit in so snugly

[swift idol]

They're fine. You just got unlucky.

[fluid ridge]

no AIB makes the best GPUs because they dont make GPUs

[north gust]

Contradictory Information...Brain.exe has stopped working

[fossil frost]

ok, the fog outside my window is NOW so thick that i can no longer see the end of my garden, and i only realised that, because a car just drove past my house with its fog lights on, and hazard lights on, going about 8mph... because you can genuinely see fuck all

[fluid ridge]

AMD and Nvidia make GPUs

[echo ridge]

They do put flashback in the inside of there motherboards and not next to the usbs LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

[fluid ridge]

AIBs are phone case manufacturers, not phone manufacturers

[fossil frost]

AIBs get certain limited freedoms with their BIOS and their board layout and cooler layout and branding... but are getting increasingly restricted (by nvidia at least)

so a bit more than a case manufacturer, but they are getting very close to being a sticker manufacturer

[north gust]

QC is ass in Gigabyte then

[fluid ridge]

i agree

gigabyte QC is lower than average

[north gust]

Why are their GPUs so famous then

It's not like they're super cheap either

OH SHIT I ordered Gigabyte H610 Motherboard...gonna cancel it right away

[fossil frost]

because nvidia set the price, not gigabyte

[fluid ridge]

they're not

because they dont make GPUs

[swift idol]

Be a shame if he get's an Asus 3060 and it's faulty lmao

[north gust]

Why you gotta be like that

[north gust]

Their GPUs as in the ones they slap their fans on

[fossil frost]

because its the luck of the draw.. you didnt get "a bad gigabyte graphics card" you got "a bad graphics card in the sea of 10s of 1000s of graphics card that were shipped out this month".. you were just the one who happened to be unlucky this time round

you could be unlucky again, but statistics suggest you wont be

[swift idol]

My brother uses a 3090 Gigabyte the last 18 months, been fine.

[deep wraith]

I'm a bit surprised, I've always known gigabyte to be a safe option when choosing cards

[swift idol]

They are, people just love to hate everything in tech spaces

[north gust]

And people like me who are new to this space are lead to believe they must be shit if everyone who has been here longer are saying so

[deep wraith]

I've got a 1050 Ti, 1080, 2080 Ti, 3080 Ti and a 4090 from them, never had any problems other than 3080 Ti cooking an adjacent network card

[fossil frost]

as i said, its the 1 in the 10s of 1000s that were shipped this month. just happens to be the 1 guy who watches LTT and knows about this discord, so is disproportionally represented to us

and gigabyte are usually a safe bet for anything, like a lot of manufacturers are... but all manufacturers let mistakes slip through the net

[swift idol]

They aren;'t you got unlucky

[north gust]

Did you even read what i said

[swift idol]

yes

[fossil frost]

you got unlucky this time, RMA the card, get a like for like replacement... move on

[north gust]

I said people like ME who DON'T know anything about this SPACE will THINK Gigabyte is ass cos People ALREADY in this space tell me that Gigabyte is ass

[swift idol]

Also a lot of people in the tech space talk out their arse and make it up as they go along

[north gust]

Yeah yeah

Guess I'll buy CPU and Mobo from the same guy then

[fossil frost]

people in the tech space dislike [insert manufacturer here] in equal measure... because the tech space is full of fanboys

[north gust]

While I'm out for RMA

[deep wraith]

I've got a pair of faulty DDR3 sticks from Kingston a while back, but they've replaced them (and replaced them again 7 years later when they failed which was a bit of a surprise for me). Excellent support and I understand that hardware fails, especially if you use it 😉

and I certainly don't hold it against Kingston

[north gust]

I couldn't care less about Brands. As long as I'm getting stuff from any at the right price, that Brand is O K for me

[fossil frost]

people shit on NZXT, but i broke my mounting bracket for my AIO, emailed them asking how i buy a new bracket on its own... was offering to send them money, because it was my fault... they asked for my address and sent me a new one, next day delivery

[north gust]

You sure don't live in India

😭 it's so hard to claim warranty regardless of how good the damn manufacturers are

[deep wraith]

those Kingston sticks I've bought in US, but 7 years later I've sent them for replacement again in EU, they just replaced them. I don't know about India, story might be different there

[eternal canyon]

who wants to sponsor the ram for my first pc build

[north gust]

India is unorganised and Shop owners are greedy and ignorant. So yeah

[fossil frost]

uk, so, our protections have gotten a bit worse over the last couple of years, because 51% of people are either racists, or stupid and believed the lies... but the consumer protections here are still pretty good compared to a lot of the world

[swift idol]

i voted brexit kekw

[fossil frost]

im gonna go make a late night tea, and get some biscuits for it too... 😄 (yorkshire tea too, not indian tea)

[fossil frost]

stand by your vote? or regret it?

[swift idol]

Protest vote at the time

didn't think it would win

[fossil frost]

a lot of people didnt think it would win, but, because of a perfect storm of stupidity... it did

[swift idol]

my GF is estonian so I guess I am racist ?

[eternal canyon]

jk btw but my first pc is almost done. core i5 9400, asus gtx 970 oc, evga 600watt psu 80+ bronze, and cheap amazon case and i got an old hhd

[fossil frost]

and now we are cut off from the world, and are about to get plunged into one of the worst recessions in the countries history (partly brexit, partly covid, but we would have been able to recover better as part of the union)

[fossil frost]

i said racist, OR stupid... 🙂

[swift idol]

EU has higher inflation but we don't talk about that.

My life is shit in our out the EU makes no diff to me.

[dusty rune]

1L of milk became 2$ dude

i cant live anymore

[fossil frost]

EU, or the Euro, or the EEU? or the individual countries within the EU? because inflation was never linked to the EU, but our ability to cheaply sell products to fix our economy, WAS linked to the EU

[north gust]

It's ¢45 here

[dusty rune]

😭😭😭

get me out of this god forsaken country

[north gust]

India has cheap food but 200% tax on computer components idk why

[swift idol]

I tried to "end myself" in 2016 so protest voted in anger at society. Is what it is

[dusty rune]

eh your vote prob didnt matter in the end

[fossil frost]

you have so many fucking cows in india... how is it so expensive for milk

[north gust]

First off the corporations don't buy milk from every other guy who has a cow. Only rural areas people keep the cow clean and feed them good stuff

They get paid good money to keep the cows healthy

The other side is, where most cows come from, the damn City streets, where the caretaker leaves the cows out in the open to shit on streets and eat plastic garbage all day, and in the night the owners come and takes their herd back to milk that almost -poison milk

I'd rather die than even sniff that shit

[fossil frost]

thats the same thing in any country though... but 1l of milk doesnt cost more than a tank of petrol

[north gust]

Petrol has been pricey lately. $2 a litre

[fossil frost]

my guess was gonna be that india is fucking enormous, and its expensive to move milk around... but... other places are huge too

[swift idol]

Weak currency and poor logistics is part of it.

[north gust]

We have LOTS of milk consumption. 40% food items have milk one way or another or atleast dairy products. We don't have as many Lactose Intolerant people over here

[jovial depot]

fellow indian

[jovial depot]

Milk is $4 a gallon

[north gust]

I've been caught "slanderin" my country...guess I'm gonna disappear soon

[jovial depot]

i do it all the time. i live in the US so

Im indian but i live in the US

[north gust]

You're safe then

[jovial depot]

i dont really like the country but its ok ig

[swift idol]

How is life in the US in your opinion ?

[north gust]

Our Indian Govt is basically Extremists at this point. If you're caught CRITICISING you're called Anti National Terrorist

[fossil frost]

again, same in the uk (dont forget, we owned your country for quite some time, and are part of the reason its in the state it is now), but milk doesnt cost a fortune here

[north gust]

It's not a fortune? 40 cents isn't that much per litre

[jovial depot]

better than india that's for sure. Things are kinda expensive than india but its fine. You could get ramen noodles for like 50 cents there 💀

[north gust]

Yeah

[fossil frost]

$40 == 40 dollars.. not cents...

[jovial depot]

i have been living in the US for almost 7 years now

i was 9 when i came here. im 15 now

[swift idol]

Yikes, Living in America does sound comfy if they had free health care.

[north gust]

I did Say 40 cents a litre not 40$

[jovial depot]

countries have free health care???

[swift idol]

In the UK we do yeah

[jovial depot]

nice. i heard in Germany, there isnt college tuition

[north gust]

Lmao America be like: Lose a pinky, empty that Piggy

[fossil frost]

ahhh. i misread the C as an S 😄

[swift idol]

I think all countries in the EU have free health care actually

[jovial depot]

lmao. we manage tho. my dad makes a good amount of money

[jovial depot]

nice

[north gust]

I was wondering why you were surprised

[fossil frost]

probably going to end soon though, the way this government is going, it will be sold to the lowest bidder before the next election

[swift idol]

Let's hope not as when I go though a self end phase normally they save me lol

[jovial depot]

is $130k a year considered above average in today's world?

[fossil frost]

i know its easier said than done... but... you would be best to avoid those phases

[swift idol]

If you earn a good salary in America to be fair with low taxes it probably does work out a better quality of life

[jovial depot]

a 130k is nice no?

[swift idol]

I suffer with severe mental illness, hear voices, think people are after me, cameras in my house etc.

[echo ridge]

my girlfriend used to work (until she became burned out and switched career), in a place that cared for and helped people with the symptoms you describe

[north gust]

As a person with genuine split personality disorder, i go through the same but in India no one cares about things like "Mental Health". Indian People think DEPRESSION Doesn't exist. You're just Bullshitting

[swift idol]

Yeah here they tell me I have various things but I just try live my life as best I can when my head is clear

[jovial depot]

funny cause im rewatching lucifer rn

[north gust]

I just finished watching it for the 3rd time

I love Tom Ellis. DETECTIVE

[jovial depot]

im wstching it the second

[north gust]

I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep since I'm barely affording my CPU Motherboard upgrade and now i have to go and get my GPU replaced

[jovial depot]

my stepmom had depression for like a month. hospital fines were bing but insurance covered it

[jovial depot]

be grateful, im using a laptop that can't even run minecraft properly

[fossil frost]

a lot of countries around the world (uk included) still have the general attitude that mental health is a myth and depression isnt really a thing. especially in men... if you have mental health issues as a man, you are just assumed to be soft and are told to just get on with it and generally ignored

[jovial depot]

My stepmom is indian btw

[swift idol]

That's why being wealthy in America is better than the EU. You pay less in insurance in America than you would tax in the EU so it works out better for you

[jovial depot]

yeah, say that to the special ed kids at my school

[fossil frost]

its getting slightly better in the last few years, but... still nowhere near where it should be... and... the new health crisis about to hit the world, is the mental health crisis

[north gust]

My GPU was new and already fucked. I spent my entire first salary on it

[jovial depot]

but did you know that calling an ambulance costs $700-800

[swift idol]

I take roids and go to the gym 5 days a week. I walk around 230 lb's and people think I am normal when I sit in the corner crying back and forth lol

[twin raptor]

Get mental health. It's $3 at dollarama

[swift idol]

Calling an ambulance here is £0

[echo ridge]

say that when your "out of network"

[jovial depot]

i can't even get a job to save up for pc parts cause im not on a work visa

[jovial depot]

why are u taking roids 😭 stay natural king

[fossil frost]

im well aware that mental health, anxiety and depression are real, suffer with anxiety myself, so does my GF, and so does my oldest son (hes 10)

[jovial depot]

Insurance covers it here so im fine

[swift idol]

Feels good

[jovial depot]

dang, old man on discord. never seen before

[fossil frost]

roids are not helping your mental state, they are making it much much worse

[north gust]

As long as you're not taking too much of em i think it's fine

[echo ridge]

ask gulity

pretty sure im older than @manic torrent

i talked to a 37 year old man in this server before actually

[fossil frost]

[jovial depot]

are you older than 37?

[jovial depot]

well ik it wasnt you. must have been someone else

Wew I am finally not the oldest person in a server for once. It's a miricle

[fossil frost]

born 1985. best year to be born

[jovial depot]

how so?

[fossil frost]

well, any year divisible by 5 is a great year, makes it super easy to remember how old you are 😄

[jovial depot]

im 15 lel

Ok boomer. 👀

[jovial depot]

oh

[echo ridge]

im born in 2008

[jovial depot]

shitty year to be born, you missed out on a load of good shit being born so late 🙂

[jovial depot]

how is he supposed to control his birth lmao

[echo ridge]

ill live 23 years longer

[jovial depot]

why only 23?

[fossil frost]

not really... not if i have anything to do with it... and i find out where you live 🙂

[echo ridge]

because math

2008-1985=23

i love costco. its the only place not making my dad pay $4 for gas ffs

[fossil frost]

dont complain about fuel prices in the US... just dont

[jovial depot]

why not

[echo ridge]

we pay 7 dollars a gallon

[fossil frost]

$7.94/gallon here (uk... £1.85 per Litre)

[echo ridge]

just don't complain about gas

[jovial depot]

why that much

[fossil frost]

because thats how much it costs

[echo ridge]

because thats how much it costs

[jovial depot]

did someone upset the UAE or smth?

[echo ridge]

no

it's been like 6 dollars gallon pre war

[jovial depot]

then why does it cost more than the US

[echo ridge]

shipping

[hidden linden]

hello

[jovial depot]

oh

[jovial depot]

good evening

[echo ridge]

we don't have shit load of oil

[fossil frost]

even though we pull out insane amounts of oil and gas from the north sea... we sell it to everyone else for cheap, and then buy it from everyone else at much higher prices... and that cost difference is passed straight on to the general public

its a scam by the UK oil companies to affect a transfer of wealth from the people to the companies

[echo ridge]

part of the reason why your oil is so cheap is us

the canadians

[fossil frost]

in better news... i just bought each of my 3 kids one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FDNQ7GK and bought myself one too

[echo ridge]

knock off nerf

[jovial depot]

sure gas must be expensive but you guys don't have to pay $800 for simply calling an ambulance

[fossil frost]

i find xshot to be more powerful and more accurate than nerf now

[jovial depot]

ahem, how much were those?

[jovial depot]

dang, that cheap for a big and good looking gun like that. nice

[fossil frost]

noope, we just have to wait 15 - 20 minutes while we are choking to death because the government has stopped putting any money into our free health care service

[echo ridge]

don't mind the delivery i have it set to canada

[fossil frost]

yep, thats why i bought 4 of them

[jovial depot]

we dont got free healthcare anyway

[echo ridge]

we still have fees for ambulance

it's like 50 cad here in canada

[jovial depot]

nerf are overpriced. like a tiny gun costs like $15

[echo ridge]

and people are mad about that

[fossil frost]

yep, and they are shit too... nerf are very under powered and inaccurate now... xshot which are the budget brand version, are much more powerful and much more accurate... you really feel it when you get hit by one 😄

[echo ridge]

if i wanna feel it

i would play airsoft

and shoot someone in the eye

[fossil frost]

and i have a 5 yo, 7yo and 10 yo, and me, a 37yo, who are going to have a battle with them on monday after school 😄

[jovial depot]

three kids at 37

[echo ridge]

jesus

[jovial depot]

must be making a lot of money to take care of three kids

and ur a nice dad. wish my dad spent time with me when i was small. But he worked until like 12 pm

[fossil frost]

my income tax that the government takes off me, is more than people get paid on a minimum wage job... and i hate that fact for multiple reasons

[jovial depot]

he still does but he is a stay home work dad now so i see him more

[fossil frost]

1. because tax is too high. 2. minimum wage is too low

[jovial depot]

dam

[jovial depot]

might as well get a double barrel 12 gauge shotgun

"if you wanna feel it"

[echo ridge]

but i don't want murder charges

[jovial depot]

no i meant to yourself. you did say "if i wanna feel it"

[echo ridge]

now i don't wanna kill myself

i would rather kill you

[fossil frost]

im a 37 year old child, so for me, playing with my kids is as fun for me as it is for them. and we have lots of stuff we do... my 10yo loves gaming and youtube, so we play multiplayer games quite a lot and we are learning davinch resolve together.. 7yo loves practical things. so we are building a couple of little mini autonomous robots right now. and my 5yo loves cars, so... lots of hotwheels tracks, spanning large parts of the downstairs of the house 😄

[jovial depot]

no you can't. i need to have coitus before dying

then you can shoot me.

[jovial depot]

my dad once bought me like two boxes worth of toys when he went to NY for two months in 2012

lot of hotwheels and rc cars

[echo ridge]

yall got toys?

[jovial depot]

i broke all the rc cars so i had to play with my hotwheels 😭

[jovial depot]

i used to. i dont play with em anymore

[fossil frost]

i still play with toys now... its just that i have very expensive toys... my road bike is worth more than most peoples cars... and my RC car can outrun most peoples cars too

[jovial depot]

i don't believe an rc car can do 120 miles an hour

[fossil frost]

on the streets i mean.. my RC car can break the speed limit

[echo ridge]

i mean what cars

[jovial depot]

its a tiny car, they wont really care if it breaks the speed limit

[echo ridge]

until you hit someone in the balls

[fossil frost]

3800kv brushless motor with a 3s lipo, with some very very stupid gearing... in an OpenRC F1 car 😄

[jovial depot]

nah i got a hammer for that

plus im learn pak mei by myself and can just ball punch someone

i heard that you can stream netflix stuff on discord now, am i right?

[full fossil]

Will this cause performance loss? One NVME drive,GTX 1660 TI and one USB C adapter pci-e 4x.

[echo ridge]

no

[full fossil]

Its PCI-E 3.0

[echo ridge]

no

[fossil frost]

depends... if you want it to be a washing machine... its going to suck... if you want it to play games... its going to be fine

[echo ridge]

lmao

[full fossil]

I want to play games and add that USB-C to continue to be the family tech support.

[fossil frost]

it will be fine... any peripheral you plug into the usb-c is going to saturate long before you saturate the pci-e bandwidth

[full fossil]

Ok

[jovial depot]

so um in my technology class at school, i learned that EU government is demanding apple to change to USB-C. what's your guys' opinion on this?

[full fossil]

Its beacuse I was worried that my GPU wouldn't have enough bandwidth.

[full fossil]

That it should use USB-C

[echo ridge]

old news

[full fossil]

to get an universal cable.

[fossil frost]

its already done. next iphone will have usb-c instead of lightning. and its good, because there will be a universal standard

[jovial depot]

same. It makes all of our life easier

[jovial depot]

ye my teacher told us on Friday

[full fossil]

True sadly my a320 doesn't have USB-C so I will use a PCI-E card to add it.

[jovial depot]

you have your own airplane?

[full fossil]

Wait what?

[jovial depot]

a domestic one too?

[jovial depot]

a320 is an airplane

[full fossil]

[jovial depot]

[full fossil]

[echo ridge]

737>a320

just not the max

[jovial depot]

didn't it have multiple crashes???

people didnt like the 737

[fossil frost]

737 Max had a lot of crashes. and IIRC, is still grounded

[jovial depot]

oh the max...

[fossil frost]

the other models of the 737 are fine... and im pretty sure its still the most flown model in the world

[jovial depot]

damn, it has been 3 years and it still hasn't been fixed

[jovial depot]

i thought it was the 747

my bad

[echo ridge]

alot of planes had crashes

atleast it wasn't the dc-10

[fossil frost]

saying Boeing 737 is like saying Ford Mondeo... you have to qualify it with mk1, mk2, mk3, mk4, mk5, and the region it was made too. and what trim it was sold with

[jovial depot]

yea but the 737 max had multiple crashes in a short amount of time

[jovial depot]

ford mondeo??

[echo ridge]

737-800 non max

[fossil frost]

a model of car from ford that spanned about 40 years

[jovial depot]

oh

never heard about it in the US considering the US is big on ford

[echo ridge]

it's 737 original classic then ng and finally max

[fossil frost]

its called the Ford Fusion in the US i think

[jovial depot]

i have heard about that yes

a sleeper ford fusion

gah damn

[fossil frost]

the uk/eu models come with uk/eu engines, which shit all over engines you get in the USA

[jovial depot]

lol

[fossil frost]

european engine builders can get a 2 litre engine, and make it put out 500 bhp.. where as an american engine builder would need an 8 litre engine for the same bhp...

in fact. european engine builders took a 1.6 V6 with a huge turbo, and some hybrid help, and made it put out over 1100bhp in some cars

(current formula 1 engines)

[echo ridge]

depends

[fossil frost]

although, F1 engines only need to last about 1200 miles

[echo ridge]

if it's na turbo charged super charged twin turbo

[echo ridge]

is there any 500 hp 2.0s in a production car

[fossil frost]

Koenigsegg do a production car with a 2 litre 600 bhp production car, VW do a couple, but i cant find the model numbers exactly... and im pretty sure peugeot do one too... and while the honda civic doesnt come with 500bhp stock, its not hard to tune the 2.0L civic to be well over 500bhp

ford do a ford focus that does 400bhp from a 2.0L too, not quite 500, but close enough for a sports version of a family car

[finite cloud]

Impressive a little engine like that can perform so well

[fossil frost]

manufacturing tolerances and materials used are just getting insanely better, tighter tolerances on their own account for a lot of the performance increase from old 2L engines to modern 2L engines

[manic torrent]

lol, I was born 81

[fossil frost]

too late to be born in a good year by 1 year, or... too early by 4 years 😛

[manic torrent]

except you have to live with the fact that people who aren't wealthy get to die in the street

[fossil frost]

just do what people in the USA and are in that position do... and just not give a shit, and step on the throats of those poor people as you walk by

[manic torrent]

You probably thought you were older because I have a 5yo son, but I've been caring for 0-5 year olds for like 15+ years 😄

[fossil frost]

or have your city ship out all of those people to a certain area of the city... then complain that part of the city is rough

[manic torrent]

and put no toilets in there, and complain about shit in the streets

[fossil frost]

btw, while you are here... at what point during your learning to solder, and then moving on to soldering stuff properly... do you stop accidentally slipping with the iron from time to time, and accidentally stabbing yourself in the hand with a 300c iron

[manic torrent]

let me know when you do, then we'll both know

[fossil frost]

😄

[manic torrent]

I have a nice burn scar on my arm from a soldering iron injury... from last year or something

[fathom widget]

for me it was sort of a year of doing it professionally every day.

[fossil frost]

soldering some neopixels onto a PCB earlier on... accidentally stabbed myself in the finger... stings like fuck now

[manic torrent]

I mean I don't stab myself, but certainly if you are doing it enough, you'll get some burns.

[fathom widget]

worst is focusing on the small component, reaching for the soldering iron, and grabbing it at the wrong point, burning your hand.

[manic torrent]

the best way to avoid it is to have the right equipment - a fine soldering iron for small jobs, and a big fat one for big jobs.

[fossil frost]

by stab, i mean, i slip, and the tip of the iron hits me hard enough in the hand, that i burn through more than just the very top layer of skin

[manic torrent]

Do you not have a third hand?

[fathom widget]

You need to relax your hand a lot more. You should not push hard with the soldering iron.

[fossil frost]

i have a 3rd leg... but no 3rd hand... i do have a pcb clamp though 😄

[manic torrent]

https://www.google.com/search?q=third+hand

most of my soldering iron injuries are when I'm NOT using the iron.

[fathom widget]

Using IPA to clean the spot before and after soldering. And using good flux helps a lot.

[manic torrent]

I have a 5200 mah lipo battery here - 3S, but one cell is dead dead dead, two are fine. really annoying.

[fossil frost]

get a knife and cut the cell off 😄 (just in case anybody else doesnt get that this is a joke, nobody actually do this... its really fucking stupid)

I think I will open it and convert it to a 2S battery. Just because I can

[manic torrent]

it actually isn't that stupid

[fathom widget]

for amateurs I recommend not messing around with any lithium batteries.

[fossil frost]

if you are not somebody who knows exactly how to do it, its incredibly stupid

[manic torrent]

indeed, sucks to be those people

[fathom widget]

yes, the risk is that at best you kill some cells, at worse you start a fire.

[fossil frost]

personally. i would whack it with a hammer, let it... get fat... then blame the manufacturer for sending me a bad battery, and get a replacement :D, and if that didnt work... LITHIUM FIRE!!! LD

[manic torrent]

Nothing like a lithium battery fire to liven up your day. Mostly I just burn ESCs 🙂

It's pretty straightforward.

[fathom widget]

oh, I forgot, always do soldering in a well ventilated space. You do not want to inhale to much of those fumes.

[fossil frost]

forgot about that a few weeks ago, was just sat here and thought "damn... my head is starting to hurt... ohh well.. i must be tired..."

[fathom widget]

...

[fossil frost]

was only about another 20 minutes later i realised "ohh... wait... the window isnt open and all these fumes arent great for me in this sealed room"

[fathom widget]

as my old boss used to say; "if the head is stupid, the body will suffer."

[fossil frost]

had a headache for a good few hours after that...

[manic torrent]

The control box for my rescue platform boat / technology demonstrator

[fathom widget]

I love how much "work in progress" that looks like 😄

[fossil frost]

also, you are talking to the same guy who found some magnesium ribbon when they were at school, and then just set it on fire, in my hand... and took much longer than most people would take to think "probably shouldnt be holding this"... and then dropped it.. only for it to land on my foot, so kicked it away and tried to pour water on it

turns out... you cant put out a magnesium fire with water...

[fathom widget]

...

[manic torrent]

uhhh you pretty much can't put a magnesium fire out period.

[fossil frost]

yep, found that one out about 22 years ago 😄

ruined some shoes too

[fathom widget]

I spilled superglue on my jeans at work once, started a chemical fire. That was not nice. And the fumes are extremely toxic.

[manic torrent]

I had some jeans I liked that got holes eaten in them by battery acid

[vital elm]

Wat

[fossil frost]

done something similar... tried to superglue 2 pieces of styrofoam together...

[vital elm]

Was your flesh intact?

[manic torrent]

and gearbox oil spilt out of a gearbox in my boot, and I had to get a new boot liner 😄

[manic torrent]

yeah, flesh is much more acid resistant than jeans

[vital elm]

Good think it wasn't a lye solution.

[manic torrent]

I mean if I was dealing with something that dangerous I would have taken more precautions 🙂

[fossil frost]

turns out that people who like to experiment with stuff, hurt themselves a lot, and learn things from hurting themselves 😄

getting (slightly) hurt, is all part of the fun

[manic torrent]

I sliced the same finger open twice :/

after that, I got some proper scissors for cutting lexan, and stopped using the knife

You can still see the scar, and there's some weird nerve thing going on in the finger

[fossil frost]

my most recent safety purchase was a...... paint scraper.... because... im sick of trying to remove bits of plastic from the 3d printer, only to have a needle size and shaped piece of plastic, shoot under my fingernail... its only plastic... but... it fucking hurts... so... scraper it is

[manic torrent]

JFC, I have like 10 paint scrapers

[fathom widget]

I will get a resin 3d printer as a hand me down from a friend. It will be the first one I own. Any good advice on "must have" tools?

[fossil frost]

some way to vent all the fumes... resin printers fucking stink

[fathom widget]

Yes, I am trying to solve that one at the moment.

I rather have a fuming vent over where it stands.

[fossil frost]

ah ok... then some sort of post processing wash bath.. you need to use isopropyl alcohol to wash them after they have printed, and, cure them with UV too

[fathom widget]

Yes, I will get an UV curer as well, and I already have IPA for my electronics work.

[manic torrent]

ipa is handy generally

[fossil frost]

then, just spend time learning about the various software tools

[fathom widget]

I need to start looking into that 🙂

[manic torrent]

my 3d printer is half upgraded

just haven't got back to it

[fossil frost]

using mine to build a robot with the 7yo. got some stuff printing off now, so that we can add it to the bot tomorrow when hes not in bed

[graceful burrow]

Since when do you have one

[manic torrent]

since before I joined this server?

[graceful burrow]

Liar

[manic torrent]

my wife was very happy when it arrived and I spent the next 2 days building it and making it work

[graceful burrow]

What do you use it for

[manic torrent]

it holds up the spare parts sitting on it

[graceful burrow]

[fossil frost]

the main reason to have a 3D printer, is to buy and print parts to upgrade the 3D printer

the other reason, is so that you can complain about the 3D printer not working properly since you upgraded it

[manic torrent]

confirmed

Pull up the board

Wifi

[full fossil]

I searched it and no

[graceful burrow]

Then no

[full fossil]

So sad beacuse I wanted to add another PCI-E card and remove the wifi card.

[graceful burrow]

Do it and run ethernet

[full fossil]

But there is a giant wall between my pc and the modem.

💀

[graceful burrow]

Run a cable around it

[full fossil]

No thanks I may just change motherboard its more easy than getting my family to understand it.

@ParikPatelCFA @profitwithant You don’t understand scale.

Use $50 to buy 10 tomato plants.

In 6 months you have 250 tomatoes.

Plant those into 250 plants.

6 months you have 6,250 plants.

Plant them.

6 months you have 156k tomatoes.

Plant them.

6 mo you have 3.9MM tomatoes.

Sell them for $1 each.

tomato

[fluid ridge]

a dollar for 1 tomato is a daylight robbery

[amber canopy]

yes

[bleak vessel]

Is 40 dollars for the total of 2 james bond movies worth it? For 2 4K UHD movies, or should I go for regular and spend 25 in total

[echo ridge]

More like midnight robbery depending where you live

[fluid ridge]

dont pay for movies

[bleak vessel]

Why

They don’t have it anywhere else sadly, gotta rent or buy. Might as well buy a copy

[fluid ridge]

because you can get them for free?

[bleak vessel]

How

[amber canopy]

torrenting

[bleak vessel]

Way to get hacked

👍

[amber canopy]

ah yes, a popular service used by hundreds of millions of people would hack you, totally not like its been used like billions of times, plus you can just torrent on some old crappy pc then move the file to your main device

[bleak vessel]

I don’t have a crappy oc

[amber canopy]

plus theres a mobile app

[bleak vessel]

Like?

[tender geyser]

Not terrible

[modern terrace]

[manic torrent]

time since 2020 has lost all meaning

also driving a truck is probably sinful

[wary summit]

I have mud runner from epic games free

it's not worth paying unless your interested in truck driving that's not very accurate

[full fossil]

what doyou do in it

[manic torrent]

You drive a truck.

[tender geyser]

Did anyone else make an order from lttstore and include the free shoelaces?

[wispy marsh]

They didn't include shoelaces with mine

I got my water bottles

[orchid swallow]

what would include shoelaces?

[tender geyser]

Well I had the shoelaces in the order but never received them

[wispy marsh]

Though that earlier this year, before they had shoelaces

[orchid swallow]
