I remember the first time I built a PC a VERY long time ago, I spent almost a week trying to find out why the computer only recognized my integrated graphics

Probably about 30 hours of double checking everything just to realize, I needed to plug the cable into the GPU

[manic torrent]

also - don't worry I have issues like that all the time. I have approximately 70 bajillion HDMI cables in my setup to allow for my overcomplicated video setup.

[stoic beacon]

To be fair, Google didn't exist yet

[manic torrent]

try setting up dial up networking in linux as a total noob in 1995 😄

[stoic beacon]

I won't touch networking, no matter what year it is. Not then, not now, not ever.

Give me anything software related, give me anything hardware related, so long as it's not networking.

[manic torrent]

That's bizarre - everything is networking!

[fossil frost]

try building a computer for your 10 year old about 2 weeks ago, and trying to debug it not booting, only to realise about 3 hours later, that you forgot to plug in the EPS cable

[stoic beacon]

I'm pretty sure you know what I mean lol

[full fossil]

I’m just happy my stuff works

[manic torrent]

yeah but networking is just more different IO.

[stoic beacon]

It's more the software side of networking that intimidates me. The crazy stuff I see people set up for control of their networks is nuts

I like plugging in a router, then plugging a device into that, then having a nice GUI with minimal controls

[full fossil]

Now I have to go spend time with my family 😢

I spent all day with those shitlings now I have to go out with them and my parents

[stoic beacon]

You'll miss it someday.

[full fossil]

:(

I hate that you’re right

It isn’t fair

[fossil frost]

im 37, and i am still to get to the day where i miss spending time with my mum/dad/brothers

[full fossil]

My little siblings are little demon spawn

[stoic beacon]

I remember it too, trust me, and if somebody said that to me then, I would've hated it too...but eventually, you miss it

[stoic beacon]

You just described anybody under the age of 23

[full fossil]

I am an Angel wdym

[manic torrent]

I miss who I wish my parents were, don't miss my brother really. life is complicated 🙂

[vapid smelt]

Smh putting me in that category

[manic torrent]

what's my age again?

[full fossil]

72

[vapid smelt]

45?

No 43

[stoic beacon]

My guess is 40

[fossil frost]

spending time with any one of them on their own, i can take, but when they all get together, its unbearable... only person who could make spending time together with everyone, was my nan, and she died 2 years ago, because covid meant she couldnt get cancer treatment...

[vapid smelt]

Fuck Bob is 41

[stoic beacon]

I win I guess

[full fossil]

Fuck the world man

[full fossil]

How old are you?

[vapid smelt]

33?

[stoic beacon]

I'll give you a range, just because there's already too much info in this discord about me that I'm probably going to end up doxxing myself lol. Between 40 and 50

[full fossil]

I guess 47

[manic torrent]

WHOOSH

[stoic beacon]

Good timing

[stoic beacon]

I have never seen the music video for that song, wtf

[fossil dirge]

I really want to get my home theater setup already

I need to get the seats

[manic torrent]

my PC is my 'home theater' - the lounge is a lounge.

[fossil dirge]

And I need to upgrade my home theater with a 4K projector, a receiver with THX certification and IMAX Enhanced, and 4K Blu Ray Player with Dolby Vision

Well I can watch movies on my PC

[full fossil]

That’s a lot of nerdy words

[fossil dirge]

I do have the Logitech THX Certified speakers

What so funny about my Logitech THX speakers

[manic torrent]

logitech speakers peaked at the Z5500

[fossil dirge]

So your saying that my Logitech speakers are bad

[fossil frost]

not bad, just not good

[manic torrent]

I mean, not bad, they are just built to a price and a purpose.

when you're comparing logitech "THX" speakers to a 5.1 receiver with decent speakers and powered subwoofer.....

[fossil dirge]

Yeah having a receiver is a lot better

There is a receiver that's THX Certified which is from Onkyo

[manic torrent]

I have a denon AVR1912

[fossil dirge]

Does it do Dolby Atmos

[manic torrent]

It absolutely does not. atmos did not exist at the time

[echo ridge]

How did my phone die

[fossil dirge]

That Denon must be old then

[echo ridge]

And without me charging it it has 7 percent battery

A hour later

[manic torrent]

correct. circa 2011.

my speakers are even older - but I have excellent sound for $notmuch

[fossil frost]

its almost like buzzwords such as atmos... dont really give you any better of an experience

[manic torrent]

speakers - $300 AUD, receiver $170 AUD.

[vapid smelt]

when you first voted who won the presidential election

[fossil dirge]

The receiver didn't cost that much

[manic torrent]

no it was extremely cheap - and it has network control so it's integrated to home assistant.

[vapid smelt]

Damnit I was trying to lower it to a 4 year gap

[echo ridge]

Oh ya one of the people doxxed them selfs couple days ago by the same way as linus with the quest 2 reviews on wanshow

[stoic beacon]

Clinton won the first year I voted, but yeah, I could have voted for a ways before that

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, I'm not super worried about it, but still, you never know

[vapid smelt]

Oh fuck I forgot I need to do math for this question

[echo ridge]

I will never take a screenshot of Amazon after seeing that

[fossil frost]

actual tech question.... ive put a rx480 in my sons cheapo gaming pc (for esports based titles), with a i5 7500k, and 16gb of ram... now... he would end up wanting to stream, at 1080p... do we think it would be beneficial to have a capture card in the pc too, and pass the gpu through the capture card before going to the screen, to let the capture card do the bulk of the work for streaming? would it make any difference?

[stoic beacon]

A capture card always helps take a lot of the load off of the GPU

[full fossil]

can my school use a censoring software to look at what people search on our school provided laptops even at home?

[vapid smelt]

My guess is 45

[fossil frost]

yes

[fading girder]

^^

[full fossil]

aight tyty

[vapid smelt]

Do they own the laptop

[echo ridge]

If you were 50 you would be 21

So probably 45-50

[manic torrent]

they absolutely CAN

[full fossil]

they give it to us to use for 3 years then they throw it away, but we did have to sign a contract for it

[echo ridge]

Which time

[full fossil]

tyty

[echo ridge]

Of Clinton

[manic torrent]

legally and technically I believe. Ethically? ehhhhhhhh

[echo ridge]

92 or 96

[gilded kayak]

throw it away instead of keep it. big L

[manic torrent]

That said, the problem is that the school has a duty of care to ensure children don't get fucked up on the internet

[full fossil]

meh idk about privacy laws here in sweden lmao

[manic torrent]

and minors rights are VERY different

[stoic beacon]

Second time lol

[vapid smelt]

Wait he had 2 terms?

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, he didn't get impeached until year 6

[full fossil]

yea im pissed about that, we have to pay 50 usd if we want to keep but considering this is is shit im not lmao

[echo ridge]

Are you 42

[fossil frost]

my "yes", was based on the same "yes" as if you had a laptop supplied by your place of work.. you always assume yes, its always yes, unless you are absolutely 100% certain that they dont and cant, and have no ability to do it, and, cannot recover any of that information once you hand it back

[full fossil]

tbf we turn 18 year 2 of when we get the laptops soooooooo

[stoic beacon]

No, good guess though lol

[echo ridge]

43?

[fossil frost]

so, its always best to just go with "yes", because its the safer option

[full fossil]

true true

[manic torrent]

I mean, from a technical POV always yes. even if it's not legal, it's not illegal ENOUGH to stop anyone.

[stoic beacon]

I'm not going to actually say, I do not want to doxx myself

[echo ridge]

Wait im dumb

I did math wrong

[manic torrent]

oh nos

[fading girder]

Bob is right, Schools are expected to monitor/control PC/Devices provided to students to "protect" them

[manic torrent]

that is where you failed

[full fossil]

when its done at a large scale then it would increase the sentence by alot also people would sue

[echo ridge]

48-50 is around the range

[fossil frost]

and in not saying no, you have now given the correct answer and doxxed yourself

[manic torrent]

not really. it's expected now.

I tell people my age all the time

that's hardly the straw that doxxed the camels back

[fading girder]

oh trust me, some of the content students go to ....

[vapid smelt]

44 final answer

[full fossil]

yea i did expect it and i did find the software sooooo

[manic torrent]

oh, it's super fucked up

[full fossil]

my mates were joking by going on my school pc (not this one it was at my previous school) and searching questionable stuff lmao, never got in trouble though

[placid turtle]

Hi there, is the ASRock b550 PRO4 a good motherboard? I can get it for $95 cad. I want to use a 5 5600 with it

[stoic beacon]

It's a motherboard.

[fading girder]

Recently some schools started automating alerts based on keyword usages that are sent to admin and counselors

[fossil frost]

tbh, the law usually is on the side of, you dont own the laptop, the school own the laptop... so.... its theirs to monitor as much as they want, and you can do fuck all about it

[fading girder]

would hate to have those conversations with students

[placid turtle]

I realize. Some are better than others, hence me question

[gilded kayak]

i hope students abuse that fully lol

[fossil frost]

i had to set up something like that once at a place i worked, because sales people were wasting a lot of time

[stoic beacon]

I tend to stay away from asrock, as their consistency and build quality is poor. I would recommend the Asus route. Others here have had success with asrock though. YMMV

[placid turtle]

Ah shoot.

[still root]

I have a asrock and i hate it lmao. It works good as mb but the bios is just so freaking crap

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, the bios is also painful

[full fossil]

meh you could go through the pain (if it was hidden enough) to uninstall it but it would work 100% of the time

[still root]

I got the b550 extreme 4

[fossil frost]

then YOU are the one doing something not only against the TOS of you having that laptop from the schoo, but also illegal

[full fossil]

exactly

[gilded kayak]

ppl who supervise others: oh wow i am helping u i am so helpful to help u away from bad ppl. actually: they are creepier than anything they could have experience on the internet

[fossil frost]

when i installed the monitoring software on the work network, there were a few people who commuted in from very specific places... and a lot of searches came up such as "dogging locations in [where they lived]", or "cottaging locations [where they lived]" ... after about a month of it monitoring, my boss asked me for "a list of the most searched terms over the course of the last month.... and some of those terms were in the top 10 list... he asked me to print out the list.. and then went into the sales office, called a general meeting, and read the list out from 10 to 1 😄

[stoic beacon]

I really don't think that's true 99% of the time. It's really easy to get into trouble on the internet. It's wise to guide people until they're capable of doing so properly

[gilded kayak]

hard no. but this is not an arena and we cant 1v1 here

[manic torrent]

yeah that's absolutely fucked

[fading girder]

lmfao that's epic

[echo ridge]

meh

[manic torrent]

IMHO in a business perspective - log stuff, sure. only EVER look at it if a specific and actionable complaint is made.

[echo ridge]

so did you skip a couple presidential elections

[fading girder]

In business I think you're right Bob, there are supposed to be laws/rules they need to follow as there is SOME expected privacy ... but anyone can BS a reason why you were in that content/pulling logs

[fossil frost]

i didnt want to install it and run it at all, but... same as a lot of people, i was put in a position where i wanted to get paid later on that week, and tbh, it wasnt just this 1 guy doing these searches, the top 10 searches for a place whos business was doing a lot of research on other businesses, were nothing to do with businesses, so they were wasting a LOT of company time

[manic torrent]

yeah. thing is I don't WANT to know. sometimes if you know, you have to do things. I don't want to know. I have enough problems

[fading girder]

yuuuup

[manic torrent]

who fucking cares. everyone wastes company time. it's called working

if you are doing your job to reasonable metrics, great

if not, then talk about it.

[fossil frost]

company was a formalised scam. everything was done under immense pressure, boss was a dick... all reasons why i left

[gilded kayak]

work isnt a religion. in fact, i would say quite the opposite. i am not interested in work for any purpose other than what i can gain from it. in the modern world, that is

[fading girder]

don't need to install a mouse jiggler and pretend to work .... if you're actually working and getting your job done

[manic torrent]

some people do though. Because if you need to take a 10 minute poop, ZOMG ALARM BELLS

[pulsar sierra]

Anyone know a good free voice changer?

[manic torrent]

punch yourself in the nuts free

[fossil frost]

how amazon warehouse employees are treated now.. thats pretty much how we as developers/designers/sales people were treated when i was there

[stoic beacon]

It really depends on your line of work. If your job is to complete X number of documents a day, then you just need to complete those and be done. No sense sitting there for another 6 hours.

If your job is to be available for 8 hours straight to answer customer/employer questions and you're playing WoW instead of doing that, there's an issue.

[full fossil]

voicemod but the changers get switched every day i believe

[pulsar sierra]

Why 💀💀💀

[gilded kayak]

personally i am strongly anti-work tbh

[stoic beacon]

That's disgusting.

[manic torrent]

yep. 100%

[pulsar sierra]

So I can't use the same one?

[manic torrent]

why? it's corporate nature applied at the personal level.

[stoic beacon]

I guess it depends. Are you anti-work because you believe others should work and provide for your needs of shelter, food, and water?

[full fossil]

you can after a randomised period of time but no lmao

[manic torrent]

looooool "others provide"

[fossil frost]

companies want you to feel lucky that you are allowed to work there... when in fact, the company should count themselves lucky that you are willing to work there and allow them to make money

[pulsar sierra]

F I won't wanna use that one then

[stoic beacon]

Totally different from what I'm asking about

There are plenty of good places to work, but there's a big difference between people who dislike bad employers and people who believe they should never have to work for anything in their lives

[manic torrent]

Your position is that if someone is not able to "work" in a job provided by a company for whatever reason, they do not deserve food or shelter?

[full fossil]

im anti-work when it comes to unpaid/unfairly paid work, but i believe that we as humans need to work

[manic torrent]

yes, but amazingly, there are motivations OTHER than money

[stoic beacon]

No, my position is that if you can work and choose not to because other people will provide for your well being and your addictions, then you are not contributing to anything

[gilded kayak]

what im gonna do is block ethan and move on. no time or energy for drama, there r better things to do.

[manic torrent]

oh I want to live in that magical world

[stoic beacon]

Yikes...

[full fossil]

paid in this case meaning stuff that benefits you positively, should've clarified mb

[manic torrent]

where addiction is just a choice, and there's no overall societal issues

[placid turtle]

Will it suffice? Or is it better to wait out a better board? There isn’t anything marginally close to that price atm

[fluid ridge]

me too

[fossil frost]

people in qatar dont work at all, and the entire country is a welfare state, universal basic income... works very well as long as you are from qatar (other than all the foreign slave labour and the killing of people they dont like)...

[fluid ridge]

i believe in free stuff

[manic torrent]

yeah but I have my job, and I get paid, but I also incessantly work on projects for my own amusement.

[stoic beacon]

I'm guessing this is a /s but I can't tell at this point with all the other stuff flying in lol

[manic torrent]

no, 100% cereal

[fluid ridge]

people seem to forget that the migrant workers in qatar are yes, treated like shit, but are paid EXPONENTIALLY HIGHER than what they would have made back in their home countries

[fossil frost]

no, im not being sarcastic, qatar is a welfare state...

[full fossil]

as everyone should (work on their own projects for amusements)

[fluid ridge]

you are applying western first world standards to third word conditions

[stoic beacon]

And it's supported by slave labor?...

[fluid ridge]

it does not work nor translate

[manic torrent]

perfection 😄

[fluid ridge]

yeah but by choice

[fossil frost]

yep, like the USA is, and the UK, and... all other rich countries in the world...

[fluid ridge]

and unlimited money

they dont do it out of necessity, they do it because they have like a population of 53 people but 530 gazillion dollars to burn

[full fossil]

i would say first world countries have been supported by slaves which then made them get the opportunities to become first world countries

[manic torrent]

if you're a factory worker. and the factory closes down, and there aren't sufficient jobs for you locally, and you are caring for your grandfather who lives next door, and he's too old to move, and you have a whole life where you are - do you
a) take a job many hours away and never see your family
b) die in poverty
c) die from preventable disease due to poor healthcare.

[fluid ridge]

this is a fringe case for perhaps less than 10% of the migrant workers

in reality most are attracted by the pay

[manic torrent]

I'm not talking about migrant workers.

[fluid ridge]

like i said earlier they are making fucking bank in qatar compared to what they would make in their home country

[stoic beacon]

I believe he's talking about 1880s America

[full fossil]

also i think never seeing your family is a bit to the extreme

[fluid ridge]

ah

[echo ridge]

it will

[manic torrent]

LOOOOOL 1880s.

[fossil frost]

so... now...

[stoic beacon]

Given that you can live just about anywhere in the US and have a job that pays a fortune right now

[echo ridge]

it's a very average board

[manic torrent]

it really isn't. If I had to commute I would literally not see my son most days.

[fluid ridge]

depends where you live and what you do

[fossil frost]

YOU can... not everyone can

[manic torrent]

wow, you have no fucking idea

[fluid ridge]

bring ya son with ya

[vapid smelt]

Wear a space suit to hug him

[fluid ridge]

the marines stationed in okinawa bring their families over too

[stoic beacon]

I mean, based on Wendy's wages, I could cover rent in Seattle within 4 days, unless I'm living in a very fancy place alone lol

[full fossil]

depends on where you live, here in sweden holidays are massive which would allow you to see your son then but yea its not a good situation to be in

[placid turtle]

Thanks. Precciate it

[manic torrent]

yes, but it's also not uncommon - don't get me wrong I have privelege out the wazoo, but many many people do not

[fluid ridge]

but that depends on where you live

pulling that off in NY or Vancouver is impossible

[full fossil]

defo agreed with

[stoic beacon]

Ah, yeah, I'm not as familiar with those two cities

[fluid ridge]

but for the most part i agree with you

[manic torrent]

In australia, a "normal" house is like a million dollars. I am not exaggerating

[fossil frost]

is that at a location in seattle, and, does that apply to any location? or just specifically that location, where not everyone would want to completely relocate their life to?

[fluid ridge]

if people are willing to move to wyoming you can probably find a mansion for 150k and a entry level job paying 20-30 an hour

[fluid ridge]

same here in vancouver

[stoic beacon]

That was just my example city, but that goes for Seattle, Spokane, Boise, Portland, Bozeman....plenty of areas in the Pacific Northwest. But maybe it truly is much much worse on the east coast, and I just don't know about it

[placid turtle]

Will cutting the barcode and serial number off a mobo box automatically void my warranty with newegg? Will i just be left with manufacturer warranty?

[fluid ridge]

but also nobody wants to live in seattle

[full fossil]

east and west for that matter

[fossil frost]

that is still just a limited number of cities. and not every city

[fluid ridge]

walking through seattle and portland is a try not to get shanked challenge

[manic torrent]

so basically what you're saying is if you're poor and born somewhere expensive, it's your fault.

[stoic beacon]

No, I'm just saying you can work out of it

[fluid ridge]

it would be your parents fault

[stoic beacon]

Now more easily than ever

[fluid ridge]

if you're poor dont have kids

[manic torrent]

ooooh, the ole bootstraps

[fluid ridge]

extremely unfair to the child

[fossil frost]

in the same way that if you are born in the wrong country... also your fault, and you are not allowed to move to another country because of racism

[manic torrent]

this can be overcome by being born rich 😄

[full fossil]

have to be uncomfortable with some things to make bank, but honestly its largely dependant on why not Seattle like if its a chinging palace then yea maybe not that city

[stoic beacon]

I mean, yeah, if you were born 4,000 years ago, wouldn't you just use "the ole bootstraps" and go hunt/forage so you didn't starve to death? Or would you just sit at home and die and whine that you had to work?...

Mocking my point because I suggest that working is okay is pretty unfair imo

[fluid ridge]

the bootstraps is the only way to get rich

or get extremely lucky

[full fossil]

uuuuuuuh not that simple

[fluid ridge]

or both

[manic torrent]

that is irrelevant - if you think that people can use bootstraps to get up, you're deluded. It is POSSIBLE, however it is EXTREMELY difficult and unlikely

[fossil frost]

like having your dad own a mine, and making a bunch of money from slaves, and then using that money to invest in cheap tech stocks, and then conning people into paying much higher prices for those stocks.. and then using that new found fortune to keep doing the same scam over and over until you eventually buy twitter for $44bn and have a mental breakdown in front of the whole planet?

[stoic beacon]

Do you really think that the majority of the population is that incapable of working?

[manic torrent]

Exactly this. perfect plan.

[full fossil]

the world is easier to live in rn thats WHY we advance tech and such, the average human right now wouldnt survive 4000 years ago

[stoic beacon]

Must just be where you're from, geez

[manic torrent]

not at all. That's not what I said.

[stoic beacon]

Eh....that's pretty much what you said

Either way, this is clearly going nowhere lol

[fluid ridge]

bob how are you so anti-work when you make well above average in terms of pay

[manic torrent]

you're working minimum wage. You have no spare cash. Your car breaks. What do you do?

[manic torrent]

because I give a shit about other fucking people?

[fossil frost]

no.. the point is that any given individual should be able to do this... not all people all at the same time

[manic torrent]

stupid shit like... insulin

[fossil frost]

minimum wage doesnt even cover rent where i live

[manic torrent]

and god forbid you get sick

[fluid ridge]

yet you reap the benefits of "pulling yourself by the bootstraps" while continuing to say that it doesnt work

[vapid smelt]

Tech is cool

[full fossil]

stupid shit like food, rent, phone, gas money etc

[manic torrent]

I didn't pull any fucking bootstraps. I grew up in a house full of books with computers my entire life.

[vapid smelt]

In the 1970s sure

[fluid ridge]

but you still needed to do a lot of fucking work to make the amount of money you do

[manic torrent]

understanding that some people are poor is not contradictory

[stoic beacon]

Maybe @tender glade will wipe the last hour of borderline politics that have happened here and we can get back to tech talk. This is so pointless.

[pulsar sierra]

I checked and I don't think it does

[fluid ridge]

1984!

[manic torrent]

not really. I'm talented in an area that is profitable. It's luck and privelege. Plenty of people work harder than me for less

[full fossil]

it was smth like that maybe every 1 week or smth, but i have a poor memory but i defo know it changes

[pulsar sierra]

Oh

[gilded kayak]

@stoic beacon if u want someone to rage on, i suggest you rage on me. i am secretly the one most strongly opposed to you

[fossil frost]

my uncle said it best to me a while ago... its the same for you too.... "you are incredibly lucky that your job is your hobby, and your hobby pays really well"

[stoic beacon]

Please go back to having me blocked, I much preferred that

[stoic beacon]

Rule 10 of the server

[vapid smelt]

Tech is cool

[manic torrent]

yeah man I hate it when people who understand economics and know more than I do talk about stuff.

[fluid ridge]

i cant tell if this is extreme humility or guilt for being successful, or you really do work a useless job

[full fossil]

oh lmao mb

[lilac sage]

you can love work but also hate working.

[fluid ridge]

perhaps hook me up with your boss if the latter is true

[full fossil]

could also trick your brain into loving work

[lilac sage]

yep, or trick ur brain into forgetting you even worked

[vapid smelt]

My brothers medication was 5k for a month supply

[full fossil]

yup

[stoic beacon]

What did you guys think of the Steam Deck vs laptop vs desktop video?

[full fossil]

damn us hits diff

[manic torrent]

my work is absolutely not useless - and not many people can do it. But my skills are a coincidence of how I grew up and how my brain works, they are not something I did as such. I didn't make myself smart, I was born this way. Taking credit for that would be stupid.

[fluid ridge]

so it's extreme humility

[manic torrent]

it's not even extreme - it's just an understanding of how humans work.

also - bear in mind I fostered kids for over a decade, so I know very well the reality for many people

[fluid ridge]

bob after he saves a child from a burning house: it wasnt me, i was just lucky the architect happened to put the door in such a way that it allowed me to navigate the home

[manic torrent]

I never saved anyone from a burning house when I was a firefighter.

I mostly just put out cars and stopped traffic and fought a few bushfires. I did get a medal though

[fluid ridge]

i was joking lol

[manic torrent]

I wasn't

[fluid ridge]

ok another one

bob when he lands the plane with an engine on fire: It wasn't me, I was just lucky that Boeing designed this aircraft in a way that can operate on a single engine and a offline hydraulic system

[manic torrent]

haha, ok, I have only piloted a single engine plane, and only once.

but - fortune favours the prepared.

[gilded kayak]

triage nice joke except its actually true. as it turns out airplanes have some very advanced autopilots

[full fossil]

that would actually work as an argument considering that its made to do that, it would req skill but average skill in the world of piloting

[manic torrent]

that can depend on your isp and how they are set up

[fossil frost]

hmmn, amazon's checkout seems to be broke... i cant checkout

[full fossil]

@manic torrent got my pc into the case and running cinebench rn cuz y not

Check out #1044767705137414184

[placid turtle]

Could anyone recommend a good motherboard for AM4 that is under $170 CAD? Preferably something that isn’t ASRock, don’t want to deal with their warranty

[fluid ridge]

asrock makes good stuff

[full fossil]

hello can someone help me with some fps issues my config is rtx 2060, i5-9600kf and 2666mhz ram do you think my ram is the problem because my cpu when i play a game or browse stays at 100% but my gpu is fine

[placid turtle]

Newegg says 3 years manufacturer warranty but on the ASRock website they say they have 1 year and only available to the authorized sellers :/

[fluid ridge]

well then you're entering with the cynical presumption that the thing will fail before that 1 year is up

i have an asrock mobo and thing has been solid through and through

[placid turtle]

Honestly I don’t doubt that but the thing is I won’t be able to test it right away because I haven’t ordered other parts yet so I’m wondering if it’s still a good idea to go for it or wait it out

Because the one I’m eyeing is $144 cad on sale instead of $209 regular

[leaden gale]

Same here, had this B450M Pro4 since Black Friday 2019 and had no issues

Lil buddy about to hit 3 years of faithful service

[fluid ridge]

[placid turtle]

Hm, I might order it and just skip the mail in rebate.

So I’ll have my 30 days to buy the other stuff

[fluid ridge]

mail in rebates are actual fucking scams

why make us do all that work to get 20-50 dollars

if you give a discount give it at checkout

[placid turtle]

I agree. Why make us void the return policy for $20 lmfao

Well the B550 AsRock is still a good deal so i might just take it hopefully it’s alright

[manic torrent]

I refuse to use mail in rebates or other discounts like that - even repeat customer discount things that require more effort on my part. My life has improved noteably, because I just don't fucking care.

I mean, I may be a few more dollars out of pocket, but nothing noticable (although if you're counting pennies, no judgement, I'm using my financial privelege)

[vapid smelt]

Not sure if $20 savings is worth a mail in rebate even more so if it's newegg

[manic torrent]

I don't care if it's $200

I will never mail that fucking thing in, so I just don't EVER buy stuff with mail in rebates.

[vapid smelt]

$200 totally worth it imo

[manic torrent]

ADHD means I could sit here with a $2000 cheque for months.

[hearty spear]

mail in rebates are the devil

[placid turtle]

ASRock B550 PRO4 for $144 or MSI B550 MPG for $160? (CAD)

[hearty spear]

only if you actually send it, AND get it back in a useful form

[hearty spear]

probably not much of a difference, unless one has any specific features you want.

[placid turtle]

Hmm alright

[manic torrent]

yeah but then you get a fucking $200 visa card, and then you have to remember to use it. blahhhhhhh

[hearty spear]

that would be my caveat about "a useful form"

just give me a fuckin' check, none of this visa card bullshit

[manic torrent]

The only useful form would be a refund/rebate to the same method I paid with

[manic torrent]

nope, never going to the bank, ever.

[hearty spear]

I'll take a check since all I have to do is take a couple picturesz

[manic torrent]

closest cheque deposit ATM is 25 mins away

[hearty spear]

electronic deposit ftw

[manic torrent]

yeah we should have that, but don't.

[hearty spear]

now THAT is lame. Local bank?

[manic torrent]

just australian things

[hearty spear]

got santander as an option?

[agile lake]

Banks are bs

[manic torrent]

we more or less have 4 banks.

[hearty spear]

they used to not be, now they are absolutely shit.

[agile lake]

Yep

I remember 5-10 years ago banking hours were like 8-8

[hearty spear]

the only reason banks are useful is to make depositing checks easier.

[agile lake]

And weekends 9-5 or 6

[hearty spear]

Where did you live? Narnia?
They've never been that around me

[agile lake]

Canada

Rbc and some other banks did weekends and 8 to 8's

But only lastest a short time

[hearty spear]

Boston:
5-6PM Weekdays, Saturday: Noon-1PM, Sundays Closed

[agile lake]

Normal hours are 9-4

Nowadays

[hearty spear]

that's short by US standards now, weird

[agile lake]

It's a pain in the ass.

[manic torrent]

our post office used to be run out of a dinky shop. The hours were 8-5 MF, 9-3 Sat. 9-12 Sun
Now it's a full australia post, 9-5 m-f and 9-12 sat.

[agile lake]

That's good at least

[manic torrent]

.... unless you have a "job"

[agile lake]

Oh

[manic torrent]

in which case you have THREE HOURS A WEEK to get to the post office

[agile lake]

Sounds like my old town

[manic torrent]

and if something arrives on monday, you can't pick it up until saturday

[agile lake]

We lived on the highway, but our po box was a 30 minute drive

[manic torrent]

like it's ok for me now because I wfh

[agile lake]

No one got time for that

Here amazon hires so many independent delivery companies that half them just leave it in your yard

Come home to like 7 boxes on my front step, how about reading the note on the door

[manic torrent]

haha, I wfh and have cameras

and a nice easy place to put stuff

and a nice big mailbox with a drop chute thing

[placid turtle]

My RBC is 9-1 💀

Closed weekends

[agile lake]

Gross

I'm with scotiabank now, will be leaving them soon too.

Had a hell of a time with them dealing with my car payments, just gonna open up with the credit union that my car loan is through

When both banks tell you to go talk to eachother.

[placid turtle]

Oh the Scotiabank here is atrocious

I’m with a local credit union as well as CIBC at the moment. So far so good

[agile lake]

"i need you to redraw the payment" "oh the car loan lender has to issue the redraw" so i go to the credit union

"oh no your bank is supposed to just resend the payment."

...

Wasted 30 minutes driving for that

And the bank has no idea on how to send the payment again, so credit union just set up another date for it to draw.

And they tried to nsf me over it too.

[placid turtle]

Jesus

[agile lake]

48.00nsf for something that likely costs the bank maybe <1-2 dollars in fees?

If they're forcing us to not use currency and stick to electronic transactions.... how about getting rid of that stupid fee

[long briar]

CIBC pog if only because Costco is partnered with em

[placid turtle]

Literally the only reason I’m with them 💀😆

[long briar]

yea that's why I have a card with em too

it's solid in general tho

Servus is decent as well

[placid turtle]

Haven’t heard of that one before

[long briar]

it's the local credit union here

BMO is also alright, RBC is meh

the only ones I'd avoid here are PC, and I still wouldn't use RBC if I could avoid it

anyways anyone have the gif for kekplosion

nvm found it

[fluid ridge]

rbc is a solid bank

i use RBC

[placid turtle]

So many Canadians i love this

[twin raptor]

I use it. Nothing bad, nothing good. Except the app. 10/10 app.

[fluid ridge]

rbc also holds an incredible amount of money

say tomorrow they decided to freeze and take all of their clients cash, the RBC corporation would instantly become the richest company in the world

the amount of capital they manage is in the trillion+ zone

which means the biggest american banks have even more

[bitter rain]

Should I go a770, a750, rx 6600 or rtx 3060? I have a free sync 1080p 144hz monitor. Used is on the table but not preferred. Performance per dollar is what I’m looking for

[wraith sonnet]

what games are you playing

are you streaming?

[twin raptor]

Rtx 3060 is my daily. 10/10 would recommend

[wraith sonnet]

6600 is mine

11/10

[bitter rain]

Satisfactory, Minecraft, occasional Fortnite

[wraith sonnet]

6600

[bitter rain]

No no rt

[bitter rain]

What about the arc ones?

[twin raptor]

Amd or Nvidia both fine, Intel if u are OK with experimental

[bitter rain]

Bc they all are dx12 or Vulcan

Maybe a tiny bit of video recording and editing but nothing crazy

[wraith sonnet]

arc has issues with older versions of directx, AMD works closer with unreal engine and openGL

[bitter rain]

Also does arc support free sync

[wraith sonnet]

I think everyone supports free sync

[bitter rain]

How much are used 6600s

[wraith sonnet]

I got mine for 150

[bitter rain]

Or new if comparable price

[bitter rain]

Wow

[wraith sonnet]

new is 250

[bitter rain]

Aight I’ll go used then

Is eBay my best bet?

[wraith sonnet]

fb marketplace

[bitter rain]

Do they have a decent return policy thingy?

[wraith sonnet]

no idea

I just go local only

[bitter rain]

So I have no scam protection

[wraith sonnet]

probably

[bitter rain]

Ok, only problem is I don’t live in a huge city

[wraith sonnet]

you could ask if a bestbuy would be willing to validate

[bitter rain]

Good idea

They’re like 175 on eBay so I’ll just go with that

[wraith sonnet]

or a local SI might help out

[bitter rain]

It’ll be a nice step up from my 1050 ti

[wraith sonnet]

I work at a place called pc laptops but their a Utah chain only

I imagine there's going to be someone like that in your state

[bitter rain]

How old would I need to be to get a. Job in tech repairs and building

14? 15?16?

Or 18

[wraith sonnet]

you would need to not be a minor most likely

[bitter rain]

Shoot ok

Thanks so much

[wraith sonnet]

I would start by getting into linux

on the junior level if you say that you can write code and do data recovery in linux you're set

just make sure you can back that claim up

[manic torrent]

plus, you can make cool stuff.

[wispy marsh]

Linux helps to protect you against ransomware

[wraith sonnet]

so my work machine has a 7820x and a 1080

it's like weirdly similar in performance to my home system

I'm used to the idea of my home system either being completely outclassed or outclassing

[remote whale]

13900K ($599) or 7950x ($554?)

Thinking getting new build

[dapper stratus]

I would go with Intel

[hybrid shell]

same

[neat tinsel]

Intel

[remote whale]

If the 7950x comes with free ram?

[neat tinsel]

different story

[remote whale]

Fuck

[neat tinsel]

what RAM

[hybrid shell]

13900K has more cores

[remote whale]

6000mhz ram cl 36?

[dapper stratus]

Oh yeah

[remote whale]

Micro center deal

[dapper stratus]

Microcenter has that deal

[neat tinsel]

yesn't

[dapper stratus]

What is it?

Wasn't it like 32gb

[remote whale]

yeah

[neat tinsel]

that might be M die

do they say the timings

[remote whale]

Can't see it but it does say Gskill Flarex something

https://www.microcenter.com/product/661189/gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-(2-x-16gb)-ddr5-6000-pc5-48000-cl30-dual-channel-desktop-memory-kit-f5-6000j3038f16gx2-fx5-black found it

CL 30

[neat tinsel]

Pretty sure this is M-Die yea

quite nice

[remote whale]

So go for that?

[dapper stratus]

I would go with the RAM

[neat tinsel]

I'd probably say so

[dapper stratus]

And CPU

[neat tinsel]

How good is your cooling?

The 7950x will chug power if you let it but 105w eco mode does just fine

[remote whale]

Probably getting 360mm EK AIO

[neat tinsel]

fine AIO yea that'd be enough

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6aKQ-eBFk0

[remote whale]

I wish I can put D15 on 7950x. But this gen cpus are yikes

Too much power consumption on both side

[neat tinsel]

The 9 class chips always chugged power more than the rest

[remote whale]

One of the reason I'm thinking getting this instead of 13900K. Power Consumption

[neat tinsel]

This year they're going all out to top charts but you can limit them and lose basically no performance

[vapid smelt]

7950x is the only worth while cpu to get for am5

[neat tinsel]

kinda yea

Even then depending on the task the 13900k eats its lunch too

[vapid smelt]

7600x finally getting a price cut but its still not enough imo

[remote whale]

AM5 mobo is expensive -.-

[vapid smelt]

5

[remote whale]

Recommendation on AM5 mobo?

[vapid smelt]

only 260 for the cheapest x670E

[remote whale]

F.......

Price to pay if there is 5 years upgrade path lol

[vapid smelt]

AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su confirmed this week that the new socket will have a similar lifespan to its predecessor, the AM4 socket. She claimed that the firm was delighted with the evolution of AM4 and that AM5 should follow in the footsteps of its predecessor.

holy shit its $1200 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/s4c7nt for just cpu,cooler,mbo, and ram

[remote whale]

• ram but yeah still $1K oof

[slate agate]

or you could buy one 4080 fe for the same price

[wraith sonnet]

b650 is out though?

[vapid smelt]

for a 7950x

[wraith sonnet]

nick in public?

[sudden dagger]

Don't worry the 3D versions will be more expensive 😄

[latent plank]

b650 boards give similar performance

[slate agate]

ASRock B650M PG RIPTIDE is $149 atm

[remote whale]

For a 7950x?

[vapid smelt]

i hate the extreme shit

[remote whale]

3d version only for single chiplet so 7700/7800x and under

[wraith sonnet]

you don't need gen 5

[latent plank]

its just some features and over clocking

[wraith sonnet]

we literally haven't come close to gen 4 speeds yet

[remote whale]

SSD still gen 4

[manic torrent]

The primary use for gen5 is to talk to chipsets to provide more and faster gen4

but ... as said, you don't need it.

[latent plank]

gen 5 ssds wont be around for a while

[manic torrent]

and are kind of pointless tbh - you're not going to make any difference in any workload that matters

[remote whale]

yeah. saw that 990 pro with pcie 4... it's not coming out anytime soon

[wraith sonnet]

I simultaneously love and hate the enthusiast space, people will go after the expensive thing no matter what

[slate agate]

gen 5 might start to be a thing one should care about at the end of am5's socket life and am6 is just around the corner

[latent plank]

server side, thats it

[vapid smelt]

rx 6500xt on pcie gen 5

[wraith sonnet]

even then most internal servers don't need even gen 3 speeds let alone gen 5

[latent plank]

true

[manic torrent]

oh, gen5 on a server is A+++ because you can do stupid I/O. But..... it depends.

[mint abyss]

I have some questions with ShortCircuit's most recent video about Soundcore VR P10 earbuds:

1. Does it work well with Windows PC?
2. In the video James said it claims 30ms latency, is it normal to have that much latency for a 2.4ghz rf connection wireless earbud?

[wraith sonnet]

do I need my payroll to be processed on gen 5 speeds? god no

[full fossil]

I didn’t set it to that

[night heron]

my room is smaller than i thought

[full fossil]

I also reset the bios to defaults

[vapid smelt]

guess the asrock default settings set your power target stupidly high

should be 160ish

Linus should come to the mall of america

[full fossil]

amazon uk checkout broken for anyone else?

[mossy meteor]

Hey anyone of u on iOS that has heard about the app TestFlight? I’m reading so much different things about it..

[polar fern]

Hmm it’s not showing free prime sub option

[wispy marsh]

It's just https://beta.apple.com, but for dev's apps

[polar fern]

Did Amazon remove the free prime sub?!

[polar fern]

I don’t see the option

No wonder it didn’t work

Yeah it’s not there

Yeah it’s gone

[mossy meteor]

Ah i see!

Also, any tips on a new SSD for my macbook air 2013? This one seems to be hella slow, doesn’t have to be a super fast SSD, and not extremely big either, i am reinstalling macos as we speak, but it tells me that will take roughly 3 hours.. that’s ridiculous

[polar fern]

That sounds about right

[mossy meteor]

I mainly use the macbook just to sync with my iphone, watch some youtube in bed and stuff because its very lightweight

[polar fern]

macOS is about 5-7 gigs it’s not just dumping files. It’s expanding & moving stuff too

Has to verify the files as well

[mossy meteor]

Ah i see, but a new SSD will speed up things a little bit right? It came with the standard “macintosh HD”

[polar fern]

No

On my 2018 Mac mini it would take the same amount of time

[mossy meteor]

Yeah not talking about the install now, just the system in general

[polar fern]

It’s not the SSD. It’s the install process

No

It may be near end of life if it’s getting slower as it’s bypassing unusable bits

That’s the only thing I can think of

[mossy meteor]

Hmmm, that makes sense, i’m surprised that it updates to macOS big sur though.. lol

[polar fern]

I wouldn’t go past Yosemite

New SSD may be a good idea & take it back to Yosemite

BRB

[mossy meteor]

What about the security updates though lol

[polar fern]

Meh

[mossy meteor]

?

[polar fern]

Unlikely to be an issue unless you’re poking around on sus sites all day

[mossy meteor]

I hate the fact that upgrading ram memory in a macbook is such a pain in the ass to do, this is my first ever MacBook, just one to try out and see what it is, but when i saw a tutorial on how to upgrade ram memory i gave up.. lol

But what can i say, it’s apple

[inland spear]

anyone feel like buying me assetto corsa competizione

[polar fern]

The one where you have to remove the whole bottom?

[mossy meteor]

Yep the quadrillion screws

[polar fern]

Mac mini comes apart with 12 screws.

Like all the way apart

[mossy meteor]

Yeah this one only removes the back cover

[polar fern]

Laptops are different

[mossy meteor]

Bottom*

[polar fern]

Mhm

[mossy meteor]

If i would want to upgrade ram in this poor thing i would have to solder and stuff

[polar fern]

BRB gotta harass Amazon CS about this twitch thing

[shadow copper]

[polar fern]

Which model?

[shadow copper]

my last keyboard was a razer hunstamn mini and i want to get into other keyboards to try diff brands out

[polar fern]

I forget who the keyboard guy is at ltt - plouffe?

[shadow copper]

intel upgrade he had his own vid

[polar fern]

There may be a video or two you could watch with keyboard reviews. Let me look

[shadow copper]

yeah i saw the vids but i want a review from someone been using it for like afew weeks and how they would decribe the experience

[polar fern]

Oh

There’s the #peripherals channel

[echo ridge]

going to mod it

[wanton glade]

[tribal compass]

Can anyone recommend a good headset to replace my steelseries h wireless, it needs to be wireless, was looking at maybe senheisser

[echo ridge]

Pc37x

Oh wireless

[full fossil]

can someone help

[pliant karma]

lol I was in the same situation but tbh just kinda went back to wires

had razer kraken for while and ahemm corsair void, used both of them alternatively until I got HE-4xxs

[wanton glade]

guys, what do u recommend for a good headset ?

I'm a cheapo, will pay around 50 bux

[tepid bolt]

hyperx cloud ii

[wanton glade]

nice

ugly asf imo, but good

[past egret]

grado?

nvm theyre 125

[wanton glade]

💀

wooden headsets tho

[past egret]

the hemp is not the only product they sell

you watch too much dankpods

[wanton glade]

nvm I'll get a epos

they make good shit

[pliant karma]

i watch too much of him and cinicle

[wanton glade]

pov : u in an ltt server

[pliant karma]

blame them for me getting into this

though I was surprised when one of my audiophile buddies loaned me a spare Schiit Heresy and in the end just let me have it so I have something to take me into headphones

[wanton glade]

bru audiophiles are cringe

[past egret]

at least crinacle documents his reviews

[wanton glade]

just buy a decent headset, no need for some 300 bux super calibrated shit

[past egret]

just because you dont need a audiophile setup doesnt mean everyone hates it

be open minded

[wanton glade]

nvm bro, I said that because audiophiles in other servers are all like "if you donn't buy a 200$ headset you didn't experience life" 💀 cringe asf

they're the non open minded people here

[past egret]

oh the eliteists

theyre a loud minority in most of these hobbies

happens everywhere

[wanton glade]

yes

hate them
