hello bob.

[golden rock]

Should I use a 3060 with an i7 12700 with Ddr5 4800 or with Ryzen 5 5600x 3200mhz

[jovial depot]

My dad is buying himself the pixel 7 and the iphone 11 for my mom cause the iphone 11 is $200

[stoic beacon]

Sounds like a good time?

[pliant karma]

nice I got my 11 for iirc 320 used but hey had it for a year now

[strange elk]

Well they are insistent on prebuilt... what manufacturers should I look at? $1200 is the budget it seems. I just dont want them spending that much on an Aurora R12....

[vapid smelt]

legit e waste pc nice

[strange elk]

I knoW

They said they want it because it looks cool and a friend vouched for it....

=_=

[vapid smelt]

send them like the 4 videos gamernexus made

[strange elk]

Ive been thinking about it this entire time but I dont think theyd understand to be completely honest

goooodddd why are prebuilts so BAD

Why are people spending $1600 for 3060s, or 1300

[jovial depot]

ye

[strange elk]

Is a 3060 better than a 2070

[leaden gale]

Overspending for the "convenience" of not having to build it themselves or directly pay for a Windows license

[vapid smelt]

best buy has like a $30 building fee if you bring them the parts

[jovial depot]

ye

[jovial depot]

why waste $30 if you can build it urself lol

[strange elk]

They dont want to.. and they dont want to wait to get it built, but offers on the table anyway

[pliant karma]

One if my old hs friends did this lol, technically he is legally blind and can't see for jack shit and most of us were busy so no one could come over to help him build his pc

[pliant karma]

yea worked out in the end. Doing tech support over the phone was pure pain but did it

[jovial depot]

lel

[robust fjord]

should be fine? idk

[pliant karma]

I generally do not like over the phone tech support unless you allow me to remote into your system if the problem is inside windows itself lol. Pc component issue just let me come over and do it

[leaden gale]

40 bucks....to install a SINGLE component

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIc1MlbqK2A

[leaden gale]

I mean, to be fair, Micro Center charges 60 bucks to install a GPU

[manic torrent]

that is not a waste of $30. It is a service that you are paying for

[manic torrent]

tbh by the time you do anything there's a floor cost of employment, insurance, warrantee, blah blah blah

[manic torrent]

literally select, right click, google. Don't even have to click through.

how do computer work

[strange elk]

If someone has the info already then like.. may as well ask.

If not whatever

[vapid smelt]

the ssd you sent is gen 4 but has gen 3 speeds the p3 is Read 3500 Write 3000 MBps

[jovial depot]

it is a waste because you can do it urself....

[strange elk]

Ah. I sort of mooched off a premade list tbh.

[manic torrent]

.....

[vapid smelt]

you can repair your car blown engine yourself too

[strange elk]

Except some dont know how to or are too afraid to,.. or just rather not

[manic torrent]

that's not how paying for services works. YOU might be able to do it, but not everyone can. You also may not have time. I pay people to clean my house, is that a waste?

[manic torrent]

.... and I have 🙂

[lilac sage]

changing a head gasket is absolute torture

never do it.

[manic torrent]

It is?

[lilac sage]

yes you basically need to take the whole engine block out

[manic torrent]

I've changed many headgaskets, I'm well aware - and typically no, you don't.

on a subaru you absolutely do.

[lilac sage]

ok, would you say there are harder things to change?

maybe clutch master cylinder?

[manic torrent]

ehhh, I mean nothing is really that hard. Just a matter of having the right stuff.

[strange elk]

Seems they are going for this... its at least upgradeable right?

[manic torrent]

tbh, changing the inlet pipe on a subaru is harder than some cars headgaskets.

[lilac sage]

there is definitely harder things than others

[strange elk]

Ah cant post images here. lovely

[manic torrent]

yes, but most things aren't "hard" once you know how to do them, it's just more or less work.

also once you have the right tools.

[lilac sage]

id call that hard in my book

lots of work/time = hard

[manic torrent]

Replacing valves is way more of a pain in the ass than doing a headgasket

also, valve stem seals and valve/cam clearancing

[lilac sage]

you couldve sent a link, those work

[strange elk]

Starting with linux is hard. Using linux is easy once you pass the learning curve. Might be TEDIOUS for a while, but..

[strange elk]

And I.. did?

[lilac sage]

no, thats a picture?

[manic torrent]

I mean, using windows isn't that easy either - if you've never used it before.

[lilac sage]

its a link to a picture

[strange elk]

Its a link to a picture :/

[lilac sage]

why not just send a link? im not gonna buy it before you lol

[strange elk]

Thats just what they sent

[lilac sage]

RIP

[strange elk]

True

Just a little more of a relatable example I guess

[manic torrent]

see, hard is things like... a bolt breaking off in your timing belt tensioner hole in the block, and having it too close to the chassis rail to get in there straight. I paid a dedicated thread repair guy to do it. He took over an hour. 100000% worth it.

[manic torrent]

not really, I've been using linux for 25 years 😄

[strange elk]

egh... nevermind. Ive been using it since middle school but thats not really the point

[manic torrent]

I know what you mean, I'm just busting your chops

[strange elk]

im just tired lol

[lilac sage]

I guess. havent had any unforseen circumstances like that yet.

fortunately

[manic torrent]

oh man, It also bent all 8 intake valves.

just smashed new valves in there, did a bit of a grind to seat them, threw it back together and sent it. Some time later, the clutch exploded.

the turbo on my subaru when I got it wasn't using a gasket (and I know why - because it's a JDM gasket and they couldn't get one)
This meant there was a constant small exhaust leak, but also the nuts and studs were siezed to hell. Had to remove the up pipe and the turbo as one, and get them apart on the bench - some broke, others came out.

also, it turns out that the up pipe on my car was modified with the FLANGE from the JDM twin scroll turbo, but wasn't the same ANGLE as the JDM twin scroll setup, so when I replaced them with aftermarket headers, the turbo support bracket was all wrong, AND the dump pipe didn't line up at all.

THAT is hard.

doing a headgasket? ezpz

[lilac sage]

damn thats PAIN

[manic torrent]

admittedly, I encounter things like this constantly, because I like to push boundaries.

[sonic barn]

riley had a good stance on a device you could bring everywhere with you, I thought about the same thing. You could easily have a rectangular object like a phone, but pull on the corners and it'll extend the screen. We just need displays that can bend and flex easily

in that mac vid for techlinked

also a future haptic keyboard where you can simulate physical key strokes will be cool

[strange elk]

all I need is an iphone se 2016.. with android and updated hardware, USB C and still has a headphone jack..

But no these people have to compensate for something with these massive ass phones

Steve Jobs had it RIGHT with the single hand use thing

[night heron]

grow bigger hands

[strange elk]

They are already large

[manic torrent]

also with the "I can fight cancer with MAGIC" thing... wait... oh no

[strange elk]

:<

Got a pixel 4.. itll do but... FUCKING OEM LOCK

Its already obsolete since my dumbass decided to update it to android 13 in order to try disabling that

[sonic barn]

se was the last repairable phone

[strange elk]

mhm

[sonic barn]

I also have a pixel 3 I switched to

not getting another pixel, my next will be a redmi note

[strange elk]

You ever bypass it? Or did you try?

[sonic barn]

I can

the bootloader is unlocked for root

[strange elk]

Hm.. so I can get root without modifying bootloader?

Current issue https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/476765664431046656/1044423450476941322/Screenshot_20221121-192432.png

[heady flicker]

new techlinked video

[full fossil]

no, If the bootloader is not unlocked you cannot install any 3rd party software, like root.

[full fossil]

Your Carrier may be blocking it

[strange elk]

It’s a Verizon

Carrier currently AT&T, switching to mint in days.

[full fossil]

lmao finally tuned my headrest to a comfortable position , it was so uncomfortable

[full fossil]

why wouldn't u uunlock bootloader

[full fossil]

.

you can pay them to unlock it iirc

[full fossil]

Not all of the carriers will allow that

even if you could pay them, would you really want to pay them to unlock a feature on your phone that you paid for..

At that point you could just sell your phone and buy an unlocked phone on amazon and do it.

[full fossil]

prolly more expensive

capitalism in america is stupid

[full fossil]

You can still get a decent amount of money for a pixel 3

carriers don't even sell phones in my country , everything is unlocked

[vapid smelt]

the 3 is only 85 ish on ebay

[full fossil]

You could probably find a pixel 2xl for cheap still a good phone

[modest sierra]

what do you guys think is the highest card i should pair with my 5600x

[vapid smelt]

4090

[modest sierra]

really

you think it won't bottleneck

[vapid smelt]

No such thing as a computer without a bottleneck

[west bramble]

you can pair any card with it , but you will become limited by the cpu then , i guess you were asking what gpu would be the best balanced card for pairing with a 5600x

we are all bottled by something

[modest sierra]

ik but like major bottle neck. like i use to run a 7700k with a gtx 750

[vapid smelt]

just dont play at 1080p

[modest sierra]

i play at 4k

[vapid smelt]

geta 4090

[modest sierra]

insufficient funds

[vapid smelt]

rx 6900xt / 3080 12gb/ 4080 16gb

[full fossil]

is the 4090 ever that much better then a 3090 tbh?

[modest sierra]

yeah very much very good

[full fossil]

ehh

[west bramble]

yeah that sounds like me atm . i paired a 1660ti with my i5 10600kf . in the cash department its a good pair but in gaming its like i couls have used 3x 1660tis compute

[modest sierra]

i want to upgrade my pc cuz my 1660s isn't cutting it for 4k gaming--even 1440p gaming bro-- but i need to start saving up for a laptop for college

[west bramble]

a 5600x would pair with a 3070 np

[west bramble]

i know the feeling

[modest sierra]

yeah im thinking ill get a 3070 in the future. maybe even 4070 when it comes out

[west bramble]

i am waiting for a 4060 card to stick in this cpmuter , doing a complete new build in april but i am keeping this pc for lan gaming

tho rumors say the 4060 card might come in at like 6-700 bux and if it does i will deffinetly go with a amd card , like a 6900xt or 7000 series equivalent

[velvet marsh]

I wish I could switch over to AMD, but I can't

[vapid smelt]

cuda locked

[full fossil]

Is amd better than nvidia?

[west bramble]

naa , but for sure some cards are . depends on what cards you compare

i mean if the 6900xt were to compete with the 3080 ti but cost 100bux less then one , then why not just get the amd card

[vapid smelt]

amd is better value for gaming\

[full fossil]

Amd cards are cheaper?

[west bramble]

well for me (1080p gaming only) it would be stupid to py the nvidia premium

[vapid smelt]

NVIDIA SHILL!

[velvet marsh]

I have to for cuda lol

[full fossil]

Yep if you don’t care about raytracing what’s the point

[velvet marsh]

cause the 3060ti outperforms the 6900xt in my workflow

[full fossil]

No way

[west bramble]

i prefere my cpu to be intel and my gpu to be nvidia but i dont mind going with amd if it is gona save me 100 bux and stipp performe thge same..

[full fossil]

Yep I’m going to switch to amd when I need to upgrade

[west bramble]

what workflow is that ?

[velvet marsh]

video editing

[west bramble]

cool . and if you compare it in gaming ?

[velvet marsh]

and resolve

I mean the 6900xt wins easily in gaming

[fluid ridge]

the 6900xt wins easily in gaming because it is a flagship card

[full fossil]

That’s impressive

[west bramble]

i have seen th rtx 6700 xt out performe the 3090 in specific tasks ..

[fluid ridge]

the 3060ti however is not a flagship card

the face that the 3060ti even outperforms the 6900XT in anything is laughable, let alone the entire productivity sector where a good chunk of people who buy high end GPUs need them for something like, video editing

They just cost more money

[velvet marsh]

he's using a 1700x with the 3090ti and a 10900k with the 6600

[west bramble]

i dont think he is awful . but i can se why it doesnt attrack the younger audience

[wraith sonnet]

Is this true?

[fluid ridge]

this is some userbenchmark type skewing

[full fossil]

Hello bronze

[wraith sonnet]

Hello cheese

[west bramble]

he did the compareson on both cards with both systems

[full fossil]

User benchmark is absolute bullshit

[wraith sonnet]

Technically they both were at the same performance tier

[west bramble]

thats how you get a rx 6600 to compete with a 3090 ti .. he explaioned why you should NOT expect the 3090ti to be faster if you are on a old lowbudget system!

[vapid smelt]

he told people on twitter you need 8 cores for gaming had a huge fight with other youtubers then deleted all his msgs

[wraith sonnet]

Just separated by several generations

So, tldw click bait gone wrong?

[fluid ridge]

who the fuck has a 3090ti on a low budget system

[west bramble]

no one i hope 😄

[fluid ridge]

?

yeah so that benchmark is completely useless no?

[wraith sonnet]

Anyone that bought og threadripper without a hint of understanding

[full fossil]

I’ve seen 3090ti’s on 1080p 60

[west bramble]

he set it up like this to just prove a point !

Ah

[wraith sonnet]

Scuf was being a patent troll over the rear paddles, sued valve, valve DCd it because of it, Corsair bought them and Elgato, now the same company that was petty enough to make exclusive PS3 content is a t the point where Google now says "did you mean STEAM deck?"

Valve is super petty and I dig it

My god elon all we wanted was a damn edit button on twitter not for you to destroy it in less than a month... So far he has pissed off a lot of people 2 of note are trent reznor and jack white.

Meanwhile @apple has been scrubbed. meaning apple deleted all followers and tweets. this is likely a silent note to elon if he does not correct his course apple will remove it from the app store... ofc apple is getting shit for the scrubbing so my bet it will be off the app store by nye

[fluid ridge]

2 problems

[wispy marsh]

No, 250usd is 1788¥

[vapid smelt]

we should delete elon from the face of the earth

twitter was dogwater before elon took over, literally impossible to make it worse

also apple's twitter account interestingly always has had 0 tweets

Fun fact: pink is the neural rendering opposite of green. It’s not a real color in the electromagnetic spectrum

Our brains invented a color

However not everyone sees pink or experiences the same hue

[lilac sage]

that brings me to something Ive always thought about

we could all see a color differently but we would never know

[polar fern]

We do.

And you’re right.

Hi

[manic torrent]

ok, I am about to set fire to everything. This is NOT WORKING

trying to control a canon EF-S lens from an arduino

[pliant leaf]

Have you tried turning the wheel on the lens

[manic torrent]

That is the garbage peasants way of doing it.

yeah I think I worked out what is happening. old mate wrote this code assuming the clock speed of the exact microcontroller he was using. Mine is not the same, so the timings are all fucked.

[full fossil]

Lol

[potent dirge]

Hi there from Germany!

[rancid wave]

Hallo aus der Turkei!

[manic torrent]

AWWW YEAH.

got it working.

[vital pond]

hello

[manic torrent]

Lens ID: 34, max/cur/min aperture (46,46,89) focal length(55,43,18) focus (-76,-76,0)

[wispy marsh]

Hmm? Whose three sizes are those?

[gleaming harbor]

happy late 4 hr bithday

[wind pulsar]

Though I appreciate the sentiment, you're better off sticking with English.

[wispy marsh]

You are chinese, yes?

[white fractal]

Is the focus sensor in the lens? I always thought it was in the camera body

[manic torrent]

It is - you can however control the focus with an arduino 😄

[white fractal]

That is pretty neat.

[wispy marsh]

But valve index

[honest sinew]

since when win11 got tabs in file explorer?

[carmine merlin]

"The cables aren't burning! It's just called Fire Wire!" -nvidia

[stark meadow]

what about halfway decent battery

would that even add much battery

oh actually given the meta quest pros battery size probably

fair enough, if you have the money and dont care about facebook data hoarding i cant fault ya

😔

[wispy marsh]

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas

[manic torrent]

@white fractal

The focus values aren't correct, but hey.

[mild bloom]

spinny circle thing

[night heron]

bro controlling the lens with a pc

[white fractal]

Next step is to design an adapter ring so you can use any unmodified lens with that arudino

[manic torrent]

Nope, next step is when the focal length driver arrives and I can add that into the code too 😄

[analog jungle]

Im out here showing up on the server with HP Thin Clients

I will turn them into arcade machines

Why?
Why not? Theyre very cheap and i can easily run more than 20000 games on them

Whether thatll be emulated or not

Everything can be a gaming device
If you try hard enough

Doesnt need to play triple A titles yknow

[jovial depot]

does the pixel 7 have good camera and photo quality? My dad bought my mom a 12 mini cause the iphone has good quality but he is trading it in and buying the pixel 7 and was wondering if the phone has good camera and photo quality

[hardy berry]

It does but unless you're pixel-peeping I don't think trading in any flagship phone from the last 2-3 years is worth it

[thick cloak]

why the fuck did this happen?

[full fossil]

Does anyone know where i can order a matching set of leather phone, AirPods and Apple Watch accessories?

[full fossil]

Yeah pixel and iPhone are the only valid phones

[placid turtle]

Does anyone have experience with Mail in rebates?

Also, is it unwise to order a motherboard now and then a cpu/ram a few weeks/month later? Or better to order all at once

[full fossil]

Take it from someone who acts this way, don’t.

[granite salmon]

Hey. I’m starting a pc building business. I just need to find customers

[full fossil]

Not to discourage you but you look 13

This is an LTT server

[granite salmon]

Yeah

I’m aware

[full fossil]

We all know the basics of PC building

[granite salmon]

Me too

[full fossil]

Exactly so what makes you different

[placid turtle]

Arghhh. I know I shouldn’t but B550M PRO4 is $144 with a $50 mail in rebate it’s so tempting

[full fossil]

Can’t just start a business out of nowhere

[worn viper]

Hey there all... Just bought a LT that had to go back due to faulty DDR5 RAM.
Is there any app that I can DL to test the new RAM as I am leaving the country in a few days and want to test before I ship off

[jovial depot]

kewl

[full fossil]

Trust me I had the same urge at some points

[granite salmon]

Alright

[placid turtle]

Just wait till I can buy everything at once?

[full fossil]

But think about it lol businesses are no joke

[granite salmon]

Lol

[full fossil]

I mean it’s not exactly a bad idea to buy them separately

Warranties are usually over a year

[placid turtle]

That’s true.

[full fossil]

I just do it but then I’m always stressed

I started my PC build like a coupl e of months ago and I still haven’t finished it

[placid turtle]

I might, I just need to make sure I don’t mess up the rebate form. I have to cut like so many bar codes and such and so much just for $50

[granite salmon]

Gtg

[placid turtle]

If anyone has done a mail-in please ping because I want to make sure it’s not too hard to do before I order 🙏

[gilded quest]

a what

mail in rebates are very straight forward

just follow the instructions and mail it

[placid turtle]

“Cut out original model name, serial number, and UPC/EAN barcode label from retail color box and mail with confirmation page and a photocopy of the ORIGINAL INVOICE to the following address.” I feel like I’ll accidentally cut the wrong thing and void my warranty and invalidate my rebate

[gilded quest]

sounds pretty straightforward

usually there is a big barcode area that has model number, serial number, and UPC on it

so cut that out, print a copy of your purchase receipt/invoice, and then mail

keep in mind the product itself likely has a second copy of the serial number

so you're not screwed by removing it from the packaging

[placid turtle]

Great thank you

[zenith monolith]

Hey guys how do i know if i update my bios which was never updated before on my X470 Gigabyte Gaming 7 Wifi. Will it still support my ryzen 7 3700x cpu? And where do i look for that info. Does it support all mentioned cpu-s on the support list or what?

[gilded quest]

yes your motherboard vendor should list all the supported cpus somewhere. I think X470 will support everything?

[zenith monolith]

@gilded questthanks for the quick response, so i could just straight up instal the latest driver and be good with it?

[gilded quest]

yeah just download the latest bios and install it

[zenith monolith]

thank you!

[gilded quest]

my x470 got support for all the ryzen 3000 and 5000 parts, and never stopped working with my 2700x

so you're good

[exotic barn]

Idk how Samsung makes money anymore

I know they make money other then there phones

[gilded quest]

I think Samsung is on the decline

[exotic barn]

But the lately they been pumping out hot garbage

[gilded quest]

they have a bigger GDP than the south korean government or something

[exotic barn]

They have there own military equipment too

[median idol]

I've heard horror stories about those Samsung Ark monitors

[gilded quest]

Samsung, as a conglomerate, is fucking massive

[night heron]

samsung is the largest electronics manufacturer iirc

[gilded quest]

samsung makes bad monitors
so does LG

[night heron]

that's not true at all navy

[gilded quest]

their display divisions make excellent panels

[night heron]

they both make good and bad monitors

[gilded quest]

but Samsung and LG monitor chassis' are plasticy af

idk, every samsung and LG monitor ive seen rattles and creaks

[night heron]

thats what plastic does

[gilded quest]

Dell just builds a more solid monitor

[exotic barn]

Imma say something that offends Samsung users iPhones have better quality control then Samsung phones

[night heron]

$60,000 cars rattle and creak when you squeeze the interior

[night heron]

well yeah thats a given

apple has some of the best quality control on the planet

[exotic barn]

Apple phones are better value to then Samsung phones

[gilded quest]

lol teslas

[night heron]

they dont allow a single dead pixel and do excellent display calibration at the factory

[gilded quest]

I've been seeing a lot of Pixels lately

[exotic barn]

I haven’t seen a pixel in my life before

[night heron]

im looking at pixels rn on my 32" 1440p monitor

[exotic barn]

I seen nexus devices tho before years back

[gilded quest]

I see Pixel 6/7 everywhere around portland

incredibly distinctive camera visor

[exotic barn]

Imma be honest I just use a Mac I can’t deal with those windows devices

[gilded quest]

easy to spot on the train

[exotic barn]

Ooh I am sorry I hope you get better soon

[gilded quest]

bruh i love my pixel 7 pro

[exotic barn]

Portland is a hell hole

[gilded quest]

its different than where i grew up, thats for sure

but phoenix is a dreary place to spend your 20's

[night heron]

mac has been retina since 2015 so you probably cant see any pixels

[exotic barn]

I would rather live in la then Portland

[exotic barn]

Nah nah I mean the screen quality on macs are leagues better

[gilded quest]

fuck LA

[night heron]

yeah that's because mac displays are extremely high PPI and have glossy coatings

[jovial depot]

get ready to be broke

[exotic barn]

Man I live in dc

[gilded quest]

some of the most stressful hours of my life have been trying to drive on LA freeways

[exotic barn]

It’s more expensive here then La

[median idol]

laughs in Detroit

[jovial depot]

how 💀

[exotic barn]

Dc is fucked

La isn’t even the most expensive city in the us anymore

[jovial depot]

my rent is 3k so uhhhhh

[exotic barn]

Mines 20k per month

It’s bad

[gilded quest]

isn't it basically a tie between NYC and SF?

[jovial depot]

you prolly live in a luxurious apartment dawg

[exotic barn]

Nah I live in the hood

[jovial depot]

stop lying bruh

[exotic barn]

Nah dc rent is just insane

[gilded quest]

my problem with california is that any affordable housing is gonna be a 2 hour commute from where you work

[exotic barn]

La housing is so much cheaper for me then dc

[gilded quest]

and if you don't want a commute, you're gonna be stuck with a tiny ass apartment

Phoenix housing was cheap af
at least Phoenix has that going for it

I was renting a 1800 sq. ft. house, with a garage and yards, for $1700/month

included full HOA access, and wasn't too far from uni

[exotic barn]

@jovial depot btw you can get housing for cheaper but it’s governmental housing

[gilded quest]

however the streets boiled in the summer

[jovial depot]

nah its fine

[neon mesa]

HOA is automatic

I've heard how horrendous and karen infected they are

[exotic barn]

It’s because I Live like 2 blocks away from the big ass cia building

They don’t say they are cia but it’s so obv

There hq is like 4ish minutes away

[gilded quest]

In general HOAs kind of suck, but not all HOAs are the same

as a renter i didn't have to pay the HOA fees or deal with them

[exotic barn]

Hoas are shit

[gilded quest]

and the benefits included private park, lake, and facility access

trash cans along the sidewalks

[exotic barn]

I lived in a hoa for years

I wanna smash there fucking skull in I hate those people

[gilded quest]

they did send threatening letters when the weeds grew in my front yard after some heavy rain

[exotic barn]

Or having too many cars infront if the house while it’s fucking Christmas

[gilded quest]

I got a lot of value out of my old HOA, but again, its not the same for everyone

[gilded quest]

mine didn't give a fuck lmao

but also its phoenix

wide ass streets

you can park a car on both sides, and still have bidirectional traffic with buffer room

[exotic barn]

I used to live by a weed dispensary I wish those annoying ass Karen’s smoke that shit because god damn

[gilded quest]

I think politicians should be required to smoke a joint before appearing on a debate

i would definitely watch that

[exotic barn]

Dc construction is slow we have small roads so people drive like idiots

I don’t drive anymore cause how bad it is

I just skate everywhere or take public transport

[gilded quest]

you kind of have to drive in phoenix

public transit is awful, and everything is too far apart for walking

biking is an option when its not 120 degrees out

[median idol]

It's also like this in Michigan too. Idiotic drivers, poor roads, constant construction, and the car insurance is inane here

[hearty laurel]

Could anyone give me a recommendation for headphones? Something decent around the $60 range or so, maybe double as a gaming headset?

[exotic barn]

It’s -10 degrees cel all I need a decent coat and I am good

[exotic barn]

Find a old pair of beats it will cost you like 30$ then get replacement pads for 8

[gilded quest]

bruh i fucking freeze when it drops below 60freedoms

[west sentinel]

how the fuck does beats became cheap

they're apple products

Get a motherboard from ASUS

Intel Celerons are horrible, idk why it's a thing tbh

It's so underpowered and it's worse than those decade old core i3s and i5s

Pentium should be the bare minimum, idk why we have Celerons

[full fossil]

celerons are made to be cheap

that's why it's 60$ for a celeron

two performance cores on the celeron g6900 is pretty fucking good

@cursive whale

[fluid ridge]

watanabe senpai

[fossil frost]

celerons are the chips that failed to be anything else due to wafer defects, so they are fused down and sold for almost fuck all to those who dont really care what they have, as long as they have something... helps cut down waste, and create an anti-halo product

[cursive whale]

The only advantage with Celerons is the very low power draw

[full fossil]

^

[full fossil]

also, CHEAP

[cursive whale]

Ah ok that makes so much more sense

[full fossil]

celerons are for computers that will only ever run ms word

also web browsing machines

[cursive whale]

I think Linux would be perfect on these machines

[full fossil]

yep

except no ms word on linux

[cursive whale]

cuz I have an Asus E410M and Windows 11 runs so sluggish on it

[full fossil]

unless wine

[cursive whale]

I plan on installing Kubuntu on it

[fossil frost]

kubuntu (and ubuntu in general) is about as weighty as any version of windows now

ubuntu is not a light weight distro

[full fossil]

I prefer arch (god i sound so shitty)

[cursive whale]

Arch!!

[full fossil]

arch is pretty light

[cursive whale]

alright, I'm going for Arch

I have Arch on my main laptop

[full fossil]

I hate saying I use arch cuz it makes me sound like a douchebag

[fossil frost]

if you want to go full optimised... go LFS 🙂

[cursive whale]

except it's not that user friendly

[full fossil]

I use arch btw

[cursive whale]

everything in Arch is nothing but lots of commands

[full fossil]

I use gui arch

[night heron]

arch is pretty user friendly now that it has an installer

[full fossil]

I cant deal with just the command line

[full fossil]

i didnt know about it when i installed it on my rpi4

[cursive whale]

welp, I installed mine using 83 different commands

💀

[full fossil]

Yeah i installed mine on the command line

followed along on a yt video

[cursive whale]

I had to follow both a YouTube video and the Arch wiki

[full fossil]

same

[cursive whale]

Arch is so barebones that you need to install some of the dumbest and simplest things like a desktop

[full fossil]

I used the wiki for some stuff

[full fossil]

fr

[cursive whale]

I had to install swap memory, file manager, noto fonts for Japanese characters, wifi, bluetooth, and speaker drivers, ugh

It's way too barebones, but it's extremely light and I love it

My Asus E410M only has a

Intel Celeron N4010
4GB LPDDR4 RAM
64GB eMMC SSD

[manic torrent]

Dude. I have been using Linux longer than you have been alive.

[cursive whale]

Arch is very hard to install and I had to spend like 3 days to figure things out

Lol

[full fossil]

It took me 2 hours at 12

tf you mean

[cursive whale]

I had several other issues like the wifi and speakers not working

[manic torrent]

I mean you're right about arch in terms of commands.... But it never pretended to be anything else.

[full fossil]

arch is barebones because it's supposed to be

[cursive whale]

Hey but after you get things figured out, it's a great distro

I love the pacman package manager

[manic torrent]

Its like buying a car without power steering and complaining it's hard to steer.

takes so long to warm up, needs so much maintenance. My ford focus is so much better

[fossil frost]

at least they can actually be restarted on their own when they stall now 🙂

but yeah, having to be hooked into an umbilical to warm up for 6 hours before you turn it on for the day... bit of a pain

[full fossil]

I drive a weeniemobile

[full fossil]

whenever i middle click on a link, it opens a new tab. but whenever i middle click on a page it doesn't let me scroll by moving my mouse up and down like usual

[manic torrent]

Something has changed.

[full fossil]

[manic torrent]

I mean, something has changed. Some part of the software chain that makes up that function has changed.

[full fossil]

JESUS THANK YOU

[gilded kayak]

guys i just tried to solve a programming issue for 1h just to find out I used '==' instead of '=' 💀 🤣 💀 🤣

[full fossil]

I've done that

[manic torrent]

welcome to programming.

[thin echo]

Btw what did they do to the hardware channel?

[manic torrent]

all dead. all rotten. (now battlestations forum)

[thin echo]

😢

[fossil frost]

wait until you use an S instead of an s in a monospace font, and your IDE doesnt do syntax highlighting (fuck php), and you spend forever trying to find where the problem is

[full fossil]

💀 🤣 💀 🤣🦃 🎸 💀 🤣 💀 🤣💀 🍞 💀 🤣 💀 🤣

[manic torrent]

anything that doesn't do syntax highlighting is pure garbage

[gilded kayak]

i use google docs

[full fossil]

same

[gilded kayak]

because it syncs across my phone and pc immediately

[full fossil]

whoah no need for the rush

[fossil frost]

php as a whole is dogshit, i spent such a long time with it, and still hate it, not touched it for years now

[manic torrent]

heaps of syntax highlighting editors for php. I mean, it's still awful, but yeah

[full fossil]

just outscrolled the youtube homepage

[fossil frost]

not when i was last using it 10 years ago

[manic torrent]

congratulations

[full fossil]

ty

[manic torrent]

uhhhh what? sure there was

[fossil frost]

eclipse sort of did it, but... nothing did it properly

not like you would want

[manic torrent]

I mean, vim has done it for a bazillion years

[fossil frost]

sublime did it, but thats a basic text editor rather than an IDE

[manic torrent]

I flick between text editors and IDEs and consoles constantly

Is the LMG Minecraft server down atm?

K I’m gonna put my PC together

[cerulean saffron]

I'm surprised pikachu face realizing adobe media encoder simply doesnt work with more than 1 audio track

Realized this after wasting hours debugging why premiere pro launches AME when creating a proxy but doesn't do anything

[slim ember]

is there anyone or knows someone with an ASUS ROG X670E-E Gaming Mainboard? 👀

[stoic beacon]

As in, media encoder isn't rendering out your premiere file with multiple audio tracks in it?

[cerulean saffron]

Yup. If I try to do it manually, says it should have same number of audio tracks

[stoic beacon]

Somethings busted then. Premiere and media encoder are meant to have many audio and video tracks lol

[cerulean saffron]

A single video file of mine has 6 audio tracks, OBS HEVC 20Mbps with a lot of mixing. One track has unprocessed native audio, one has raw mic, one has equalized audio with music and another has RTX Voice filtered mic, etc etc

[wraith sonnet]

dumb question, anyone know if theres a specific coolant from an auto store that would be safe to put in a system?

[fossil frost]

you have to remember that jay can easily replace those fittings when they corrode to fuck, and replace any hardware when that corroded loop leaks all over it

[vivid drift]

yeah he says not to do it

[manic torrent]

lol you didn't watch the video

[charred narwhal]

It arrived, my Screwdriver just arrived

[cerulean saffron]

LosslessCut > export all tracks as separate files and group them with the proxy. Once done, replace the proxy file source with original file source and render... the amount of pointless workarounds for something that should've simply worked is the most annoying

[cerulean saffron]

congrats

[full fossil]

Why are asrock cpu fan headers in such a stupid spot

[manic torrent]

because fuck you, that's why

[full fossil]

Why is at the top right of the god damn case, instead of to the left of the ram?

My cables look soooo bad

[fossil frost]

@manic torrent : my GF just woke up (its the middle of the night here), and said "whats that horrible smell? its woke me up"... "nothing... cant smell anything, you must have dreamt it"... yeah... that smell was me.. soldering 😄

[manic torrent]

[full fossil]

[vapid smelt]

Lead solder?

[fossil frost]

lead free with a flux core, still stinks

[manic torrent]

I use extra lead in my solder, so that I will have brain damage like the boomers

[vapid smelt]

Lead solder is easier to use right?

[full fossil]

I like how my mom got me this thick asf flux core unleaded solder, and I actually prefer this thin, cheapo solder

[manic torrent]

much

also I absolutely love my TS80P

[fossil frost]

is it easier to use, or... are the people who use it, now so brain dead, that they believe that its easier

[full fossil]

Yk what, imma go for the 6700xt, especially at $500 cad

[fossil frost]

nice 😄

whats the end goal?

[manic torrent]

waiting on a driver to actuate the focal length as well, then will be able to remotely manage it.

[full fossil]
