you could have paid full price for 2 250mb ram sticks too

you gotta look at the positive side my guy

at least you got something shipped to you

[gleaming mural]

This is not a "look positive" type scenario, wtf

[fluid ridge]

everything can be a look positive scenario

just lighten up and dont be so pessimistic

you can do a lot with 2gb of ram

more than what you can do with no ram that's for sure

[gleaming mural]

excuse you but what gave you the right to call me pessimistic when i have yet to show signs of that LMFAO

I am being more of a realist

[fluid ridge]

right here is an extremely pessimistic

[gleaming mural]

and 2GB DDR3 isnt going to do anything in 2022

We're not in 2009

[fluid ridge]

see that's being pessimistic

you can do a lot with 2gb of ddr3

[gleaming mural]

No its being factual

[fluid ridge]

way more than 0gb

[gleaming mural]

Big difference

[fluid ridge]

would you rather have 2gb of ddr3 or 0gb of nothing

[gleaming mural]

Who gives a fuck if it's 0GB or not? I paid for something and got ripped OFF

[fluid ridge]

yeah but im saying it's not that bad

look at the glass half full

[gleaming mural]

Pretty sure you wouldn't be saying all this if it was you

in this situation

[fluid ridge]

but i absolutely would

[gleaming mural]

wow thats sad

[fluid ridge]

i paid 700 dollars for a defective 3070

i didnt cry or moan or even RMA that shit

[gleaming mural]

Welp money wasted then.

[fluid ridge]

i sucked it up and said at least i have a 3070, plugged that shit in and moved on

i pushed forward and you gotta too my brother

[gleaming mural]

Bro your 3070 is waiting for it's death

💀

[fluid ridge]

unfortunate then, at least it wasn't DOA

if it worked for a period at least it worked for that little bit of time

same situation here, at least you got ram

[pliant karma]

yes good lol the combo I got off newegg is still alive. Just the psu had to be RMA cause yea you know the fireball it caused. Technically I used it in another system of mines so i just lost an hdd/ssd

[fluid ridge]

oof

at least they didnt mail you a pipe bomb

there's always a positive side

there cannot be light without darkness remember that

[pliant karma]

oh and my 3070 also has met the snip tools. rgb cable is to say the least removed so gigabyte logo is no more rgb

[gleaming mural]

I pay for a product which is advertised as SUCH. I am not paying for something I did not want.

If you're fine with being ripped off then okay, fine by me, that's your problem, but I don't think it's really your place to tell me from what standpoint to view the scenario

[fluid ridge]

im not telling you anything brother

all im saying is you are extremely cynical

[pliant karma]

also went and added thermal pads behind the pcb so direct contact with backplate👀

[slim raft]

happy 14th birthday LTT!

[fluid ridge]

it would not hurt to lighten up a little fr

[wind pulsar]

While that is a metaphor, light can definitely exist without darkness, as darkness literally exists BECAUSE of the light getting blocked by something or not being there

[fluid ridge]

yeah ok but at least you get the main idea

[wind pulsar]

Darkness, strictly speaking, as an entity doesn't exist

Since it's defined as 'the absence of light' rather than an entity

[gleaming mural]

I am not going to be happy because all that happened was that some gutter trash of a human being decided to exploit me and probably thousands of other people out of money for financial gain.

That's not happening

[pliant karma]

curious what happened to your 3070?

[fluid ridge]

i am not saying you should be happy

i am saying you should stop being a stinky pp head

[gleaming mural]

.

[fluid ridge]

that doesnt mean be happy

that just means look at what you have and appreciate what you got

a lot of people dont even have ram at least you have ram fr

[fluid ridge]

also when my 3070 came in it came from a really shitty batch of QC from gigabyte

it had 2 bent pins brand new

i googled it, apparently it was a very common issue

[wind pulsar]

You're making this a way bigger and way more unnecessary thing than it needs to be, ngl

[fluid ridge]

i just sucked it up and shoved that shit as hard as i could in there and i fit it in

[gleaming mural]

L, not my problem ✋

[pliant karma]

oh shit damn. Hmmm guess I dodged a bullet with my vision 3070

[fluid ridge]

i am trying to comfort the homie redfield

[fluid ridge]

vision looks really nice

except it's expensive as shit

[fluid ridge]

what a rude thing to say

i have been trying to make you feel better this whole time my brotha

[pliant karma]

3060/3060ti/3070 vision cards are bricks. 3070ti/3080/3080ti/3090 vision cards bullpup rifles

[wind pulsar]

How to make yourself look cringe 101;

[fluid ridge]

dude i am trying to help him out

[gleaming mural]

I don't see how anyone else not having ram is my problem

You're not

[fluid ridge]

it's not your problem but im saying it could be your problem

[gleaming mural]

Literally not.

[fluid ridge]

trying to point out that there are worse things in life than getting a few extra less gigs of ram

[gleaming mural]

And why are you of all people trying to give me a life lesson I never asked for?

I am aware that there's worse things

[fluid ridge]

because you seemed very distressed over losing a few gigs of ram

[gleaming mural]

All I did in the server was ask for help identifying whether the RAM sticks were authentic or not

[fluid ridge]

i can confidently tell you they are not

[gleaming mural]

I figured

Looking at the ADATA logo shows some major difference.

[wind pulsar]

That's great, you're doing horrible though

[gleaming mural]

^^

[fluid ridge]

better than nothing

at least the scammers didnt mail him a pipe bomb or a nerve agent

[wind pulsar]

No, sometimes it's better to just shut up

[fluid ridge]

[wind pulsar]

Because that was.. an experience, that's for sure

[fluid ridge]

man im sure he feels better now

[wind pulsar]

I mean if you mean by laughing at you, then probably

[gleaming mural]

what made you think I was feeling down in the first place 😂

[fluid ridge]

oh

then i guess it wasnt a problem

[gleaming mural]

What you think is not always /reality/

[wind pulsar]

Oh

[fluid ridge]

you could have been feeling bad about being scammed

[wind pulsar]

That's even better

He made himself look like an idiot for no reason then

That's great

[fluid ridge]

i am a qualified therapist

probably

[gleaming mural]

Uh

[wind pulsar]

Being a therapist doesn't disqualify you from being an idiot though

[fluid ridge]

dude how am i an idiot

i tried to make this man feel better about being scammed in good faith

[whole hedge]

hello i am new here

[fluid ridge]

[gleaming mural]

I was never feeling down in the first place

Nor did I ask for you to do such

[fluid ridge]

well you could have been

at least you weren't

[whole hedge]

says he therpiest but i feel judged

[wind pulsar]

Again, sometimes it's good to shut it

[whole hedge]

how are you guys

[fluid ridge]

i am excellent

[whole hedge]

are you actually therpiest

i do not belive youb

[wind pulsar]

No, that was sarcasm

They're obviously not a therapist

But being one is also nothing too special, there's no reason not to believe him

[whole hedge]

sorry i just came in so

[whole hedge]

shrinks are meh

they do not care about no one

[fluid ridge]

well at least you have ram

[whole hedge]

i need friends

I’m enjoying my favorite birthday so far and it’s so cool I found out a lot of things today as well on my 21st birthday that are super cool

if your comfortable telling us

[regal forum]

How long is a DDR4 RAM stick DIMM?

how many cm

[whole hedge]

idk

[indigo beacon]

whats the best ethernet cable?

[regal forum]

thanks for the usefull answer

@whole hedge 😂

[whole hedge]

cat 6

[indigo beacon]

Is cat 6 a type of ethernet cable?

[whole hedge]

yes

[full fossil]

13.335cm

[regal forum]

thanks

[indigo beacon]

wht abt cat 7?

[full fossil]

yes and cat 8

[indigo beacon]

whats the difference

[dire plover]

That Linus made his channel on my birthday

it’s wild tbh

[whole hedge]

aww how nice

[whole hedge]

faster speeed

[dire plover]

I’m honored to be born on the same day my favorite tech channel was made

[whole hedge]

lol

[indigo beacon]

no like between the types of cables

[full fossil]

can u explain what u mean by that?

[indigo beacon]

cat 5, cat 6, whats the difference between them

[whole hedge]

beo i just told you each numver of cable is faster

[indigo beacon]

so the higher the number the faster?

[whole hedge]

yes

[regal forum]

whats your internet speed/what do you need them for?

[indigo beacon]

whyd u lie and say cat 6 was the best when theres a cat 8

[neat tinsel]

Cat 7 and 8 are not commercially available

They're not fully standardized for consumer use

[regal forum]

cat 6 is 1000MB/s

[full fossil]

I wasn't the one asking.

[neat tinsel]

Anything on amazon that claims Cat 7 or 8 is lying

[regal forum]

unless you have internet faster than 1000Mb/s or otherwise known as 1Gbps, you dont need more than Cat6

unless you need it for a NAS

[wind pulsar]

Because 99.9% of people don't even have internet fast enough that they'd need anything more than Cat 6e

[regal forum]

and both client and server NAS have higher than 1Gbps LAN ports

[regal forum]

NAS

[whole hedge]

facts

[indigo beacon]

Can u link me to the best cat 6 avaible on amazon? Thanks

[wind pulsar]

Even that, unnecessary

[regal forum]

possibly, if client and server have like 2.5Gbps LAN

[neat tinsel]

Cat 6a caps at 10gig ethernet at 100 meters

[whole hedge]

there all the sams

[wind pulsar]

Yes, because there's so many that have and/or need it

[regal forum]

ooooh wait

[wind pulsar]

Point still stands

[regal forum]

sorry i got confused with Cat5e

Cat5e is 1000Mbps

cat 6 is 10Gbps

yeah your not needing more than that

[full fossil]

just buy a cable dudes ur not saturating it

[regal forum]

Cat 6 is perfect then

[neat tinsel]

yea and Cat 6a is just Cat 6 but carries a 10gig connection for longer AFAIK

[night heron]

i would pick cat 6 because it's easier to terminate than cat6a and higher but still supports 10gig at distance

[regal forum]

for domestic use not necessary

[night heron]

if you need more than 10gig you should go fiber

[regal forum]

funny thing, i have a CAT 8 cable and i dont even know why

we just have one and i use it to connect my server with

[neat tinsel]

10gig is offered in my cities but hasn't arrived to my area yet

[full fossil]

if you have to ask about the different cats you can just buy one and ur fine. period. if you know you have requirementsz your not asking some discord channel to hand hold you through the process 😐

is that the best one

[full fossil]

best is subjective terminology

[compact canopy]

imagine having fiber near you or internet beyond consistent 60mbps being available at all bar getting starlink now ig?

[whole hedge]

bro jist freakin by a cable its the same shit

chill

[indigo beacon]

i just need to make sure i get the best one cuz i have no budget

[whole hedge]

then by tomorrow tomorrow is balck friday

[night heron]

okay then here you go, buy a kabeldirekt 40gigabit cable: https://www.amazon.com/KabelDirekt-Ethernet-transfers-Suitable-switches/dp/B085443BTV

[regal forum]

today is black friday

[night heron]

you wont get better than that unless you make it yourself

[indigo beacon]

r u sure that ones the best?

[full fossil]

dude oh my freaking god

[night heron]

yes, but what is the application you're using this for?

[wind pulsar]

You don't NEED the best

[indigo beacon]

overwatch

[indigo beacon]

I do

[night heron]

your networking equipment matters more than the cable

[indigo beacon]

i cant fucking handle spiking anymore

[wind pulsar]

No you don't, the best you'll need is a Cat 5 cable, since the chances of you having a plan higher than a gigabit are lower than me ever being better than silver in any kind of shooter game

[night heron]

games use like

2 megabit up and down at most

that cable i sent you is rated for 40,000

your networking gear is substantially more important than the cable

[indigo beacon]

Its ok to go overkill?

just a waste of money?

[gilded quest]

I dream of the day lol

[indigo beacon]

or will it not be compattible

[night heron]

i dream of the day we have any fiber whatsoever

[full fossil]

speaking of networking equipment that new wifi 7 tp link router is 🫦

[gilded quest]

6GHz APs are so expensive

[wind pulsar]

I was like 'Yeah that's not doing 40 Gbps' then I saw the '1 foot' length

That made more sense to me

[full fossil]

i bought the asus rog axe160000 or w/e its nice

quad band 🤤

[gilded quest]

For how much

[full fossil]

700

[gilded quest]

Yeah that's too much

[night heron]

cat 8 does 40gb up to 100 feet

not like anyone actually has 40gb rj45 gear

[full fossil]

i buy lots of dumb things

[wind pulsar]

I know, but I meant in correlation to the price of the cable

[night heron]

anything over 10gb is an extreme waste of money in a house

[full fossil]

https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-be900/ this one is 🤤 🤤

it actually looks sexy too instead of an upside spider

[gilded quest]

I will wait for a Unifi WiFi 7 AP

[night heron]

i feel like the time it took to go from wifi 6 to 6e to 7 is much shorter than the time it took to go from 5 to 6

[full fossil]

6 and 6e is/was a blunder

[night heron]

almost nobody even has wifi 6 as is

aside from on their phones

[compact canopy]

tfw most people in my county don't even need more than a cat 4 cable

[full fossil]

all my stuff is wifi 6

[gilded quest]

I was planning to skip wifi 6 (AP) all together

[full fossil]

my alienware is only wifi 6 and everything else is wifi 6e 😔

[night heron]

yeah but we're in a technology enthusiast discord server funk

we are the 0.01% of people

[neat tinsel]

I really want 10gig for my house but it's so old we'd probably be limited by our wall ports lmao

[gilded quest]

But then my wifi 5 AP developed gremlins

So I said fuck it and upgraded

[night heron]

if the ethernet cabling in your walls is standard cat5 yah ur not getting 10gb

if it's cat5e there's a decent chance youd still get 10gb

[neat tinsel]

We rent too so gonna be hard to convince the owner lol

[neat tinsel]

I dont even know how you test that without ripping it out and looking internally

[full fossil]

can get an eth tester

[night heron]

if not at least multigig

and 2.5gb gear is dirt cheap compared to 10gb

[fluid ridge]

why pay for wifi when you can just buy unlimited data and hotspot

way cheaper 😎

[full fossil]

hotspot is basically wifi famy fam

[fluid ridge]

exactly but for less

[regal forum]

or your smart

[full fossil]

the reason i want/need the router is stuff on my lan

[night heron]

unlimited data/hotspot is just cellular internet

[regal forum]

are you get a USB sim dongle

[full fossil]

but i could just get a switch for my local stuff im just dumb

[night heron]

a lot of people in rural areas use cellular internet because theres nothing else available

[regal forum]

and use a router that supports 3G/4G connection

[fluid ridge]

ohio moment

[gilded quest]

Why are all switches greater than gigabit so expensive

[regal forum]

like mine i got router for $30

[night heron]

they do be

[neat tinsel]

I assume economy of scale

[full fossil]

i need to steal a switch from my work

borrow*

[night heron]

fiber gear is a lot cheaper but fiber cabling is expensive

[gilded quest]

I technically paid $1100 for my router

[neat tinsel]

anywhere u uh know to get one

[full fossil]

ethernet test set? anywhere

amazon, hardbor freight, walmart prolly

[night heron]

a 10gb switch shouldnt be expensive to you then

[full fossil]

im sure lowes and home depot sell em

[gilded quest]

I have one 2.5GbE switch and could really use another (or a 10gig), but it's just prohibitively expensive

[night heron]

unmanaged passively cooled 8-port 10gb rj45 switch for $360: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-SX105-Wall-Mount-Protection-Auto-Negotiation/dp/B0916BNNML/

[full fossil]

i dont know how to tell between cat version besides a machine telling me what im plugged into

[gilded quest]

Well my router is a 7 year old gaming PC that served a good like as a gaming rig followed by a hackintosh and now a router

[night heron]

unless you mean 10gbE in which case yeah that's expensive as fuck

because that's really like a 100gigabit switch

[gilded quest]

Not bad for new

I think my 8 port 2.5gbe was ~$140

[night heron]

i use all gigabit gear

i dont have enough network traffic to warrant spending the money

[gilded quest]

Technically our hard drives can saturate gigabit

[full fossil]

My monitor and gpu are gigabit

[gilded quest]

And we have a server

But we do not really need > gigabit

[night heron]

i have a nas but it's only 3 drives in raid 5

[gilded quest]

Mostly just future proofing

[night heron]

if you dont need it right now then id wait

[gilded quest]

Since a bunch of clients are now on 2.5GbE+

[night heron]

because cost will only go down

[simple tiger]

Did ltt discord remove the deals chat?

[gilded quest]

Yeah that's why I'm in no rush to get a second switch

[simple tiger]

Is there a thread for any black Friday deals

[manic torrent]

forum

[gilded quest]

Although I check eBay occasionally

Hmm. eBay switches will probably all be loud

[night heron]

sometimes you can find absolutely insane deals on ebay

i dont know if theyre still available but there were brand new 8tb seagate exos drives for $100

[gilded quest]

But I imagine they all have server acoustics

[simple tiger]

Is there a mega thread?

[night heron]

yeah this is why i will only buy passive network gear

my switch doesnt need to have a fan lol

[gilded quest]

My networking hub is in the home theatre room

[night heron]

i dont want to use PoE and need active cooling

[full fossil]

Yep I’ve come across a few of them

you should post it in #off-topic

[full fossil]

i legit try and stay away from amazon as much as possible lately

why???

[full fossil]

[gilded quest]

I said home theatre not theatre room ahaha

[full fossil]

id rather buy from not amazon

[regal forum]

amazon is amazing

i love amazon

[full fossil]

yes

[gilded quest]

Home theatre= OLED + couch + cheap Atmos setup

[night heron]

u said home theatre room 👹

[gilded quest]

Oh shit

[night heron]

this is better than a projector anyway any day imo

[gilded quest]

Uhhh. Room that contains home TV lmao

[night heron]

im not in the camp of "bigger is better"

id rather sit close to a 65" oled than use a 120" screen from far away any day

[gilded quest]

65" C9

[night heron]

valid

i just got my first oled tv the other day

i grabbed the 48" lg a2 for $560 for my bedroom

How is it?

[full fossil]

120hz 4k 🤤

[night heron]

the c1 is an amazing tv

i just dont game on a bedroom tv and dont need the additional brightness for blackout viewing

[gilded quest]

Hmmm 60Hz

[full fossil]

damn cause as much as my 43in 4k tv new back in 2020

i sit in front of the c1 like a foot away as monitor and i dont go much past that

[night heron]

60hz, no vrr or allm, no black frame insertion, 500nits hdr instead of 700

but other than that it has superb calibration out of box

it's nearly perfect out of box except it has around 2.1 gamma instead of 2.2

[gilded quest]

So it's still worse than the c9 panel

[full fossil]

[night heron]

yes

[gilded quest]

But that price tho

Nvidia plz do HDMI 2.1 (4k120) shield

[night heron]

no point

what would you do on a streaming device that's 120fps

[gilded quest]

I want the interface to be 120hz

[night heron]

ah

i wish movies were natively filmed at 60fps

[full fossil]

120hz 4k streaming over wifi would actually prolly need that wifi 7 😄

[night heron]

im not a fan of motion smoothing but im not a fan of 24fps either

but i just cope with 24fps

[full fossil]

unless ur hard wiring the shield

[gilded quest]

I would love to see a proper 60hz Hollywood film

I watched the Hobbit, which was 48fps

[night heron]

i would take 1080p60 over 4k24 for movies personally

[gilded quest]

There was a lot of jarring things about that movie, but the frame rate was not one of them

[gilded quest]

I disagree there, in the sense that theatres exist

And big tvs

[night heron]

i think 1080p is fine from couch distance honestly

[gilded quest]

But I want 4k60 lol

[night heron]

same

[night heron]

(for movies)

[full fossil]

after watching some actual uhd movies in 4k on a legit dolby system its.... hard to want to go back to just regular blu ray 1080 stuff

[night heron]

you can have 1080phdr

[full fossil]

yea but its not 4kuhdhdr

[full fossil]

u should try to play on my old 55inch 1080p tv at 30hz

🤤

[night heron]

i dont want to go back down to 1080p either im just saying id be willing to if it meant id get native 60fps

because 1080p upscaled to 4k on oled is still gorgeous

from a couch distance

[mighty verge]

Hey guys, should i go b660 or z690 for my build.

[nova ingot]

Just bought a 16:10 monitor. 24" 4k for my laptop to dock.

kinda weird not looking at an ultrawide or 27" for once.

24" 4k must look fantastic

[nova ingot]

Certainly hope so. Replacing a cracked 1080p monitor my brother had.

He paid like $280 for it right when his school started. not a gaming monitor, hes working in medical, so I hope he likes it.

[vapid smelt]

z690 if you want to overclock

[full kelp]

Alright, and I was thinking a 12400f for the cpu as well

I have a 3060 for the graphics card. I got it for like $200

[vapid smelt]

will you use ddr4 or ddr5 ram?

[modest sierra]

is it worth it to et a WD Black SN850 with a heatsink

or without it

[vapid smelt]

yes

[native fjord]

Is picking up a msi gt70 2pc dominator worth it if it's at a really cheap price?

[full kelp]

Ddr4, I'm on a budget

if you need it for extra displays i guess if its under 20

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/32NxFT/asus-prime-b660-plus-d4-atx-lga1700-motherboard-prime-b660-plus-d4

I guess I could do that, and a 12100-F instead and go full budget mode

[native fjord]

No I want to use it for some gaming while I'm away on the holidays not anything serious and it's a laptop @vapid smelt

i made a mistake i saw the gt 710 and was assuming it was the graphics card

He's asking $150

[vapid smelt]

im not sure how long the battery would last on a 2015 laptop

$80 for a corsair 750 gold psu full modular sound like a good deal?

I'm running an Intel cpu for this build

[vapid smelt]

cl18 3600 and cl 16 3200 both have the same first word latency of 10 ns

This ones rgb

[native fjord]

Oh then speed doesn't matter as much for a intel cpu

[full kelp]

Let me list what I have for this build so far

i3 12100-f
B660-plus D4

I have like two massive 200mm fans on my case that are rgb but I turned them off and now the software to turn them back on is like broken but I'm to lazy to fix it

[eager notch]

I got a really idiotic primary PC config

[full kelp]

Damn, I kinda wanna go for the 32 gigs of ram now even though it's not pretty

[native fjord]

Well if you fly in dcs then you need all the r but most games are fine for 16

[vapid smelt]

we can fix that problem with a solid steel side panel

[native fjord]

Lolll

[full kelp]

Hmmmm

[native fjord]

Airflow go brrrrrrrr

[thin crane]

LG G2 or Samsung s95b…. Someone please just decide for me. Gonna be the 65 or 75 inch version. Mostly used with an AppleTV

[native fjord]

LG are known to be the better TV @thin crane

[night heron]

the main difference is the s95b is brighter but has worse black levels in a bright room

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/38bT9r #fixed now it looks stylish

[full kelp]

Did you just put a solid panel

[vapid smelt]

[night heron]

the next time i buy a pc case its gonna be solid side panel

i never look at my pc so why would i want it glass

[vapid smelt]

the only time i look in my pc is to see if i need to dust it

[native fjord]

@night heron exactly then you don't worry about scratching the glass like I have

[night heron]

same

i build it, and then only interact with it to clean it

i never admire it

[full kelp]

And I plan to do 2 ssd. A 500gb for the os. 2tb of the games

[native fjord]

My cable management is horrible I like to hide mistakes loll

[thin crane]

I have a very low brightness environment. Would you say the black levels are similar in that case?

[vapid smelt]

separate drives for OS is pointless imo

[night heron]

yeah if your room isnt bright the black levels are gonna be pretty similar

[native fjord]

@vapid smelt so that laptop I'm looking at would it be worth it to buy it?

[vapid smelt]

i dont think you'll get much gaming on it

[full kelp]

@vapid smelt should stock cooler be fine

[vapid smelt]

for a 12100f it more then enough

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/q6H7YJ/thermalright-assassin-x-120-refined-se-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-ax120-se-d3 if you want a overkill cooler for 19.89

[native fjord]

I dont do like aaa gaming much I mean I might do some bf3 or bf4 and maybe mine craft and some ksp but nothing super intense

[thin crane]

Are you familiar with the he LG c2 at all? I am wondering what the drop off from the G2 is for just streaming on Apple TV and Directv DVR… don’t game on this tv at all

[polar fern]

Dang no more image posting for 10 days

[vapid smelt]

[fluid ridge]

but his margins are crazy if he can afford to sell something at 20% of the original price

he might be taking a crazy loss idk but that doesnt seem like something linus would do

[manic torrent]

gross margin vs net margin, clearance, cost of storage, etc etc etc

[fluid ridge]

i assume he is taking a loss then

i just hope hes not selling something at 25USD if it costs him less than 6USD to make/procure

[manic torrent]

why? also, again, do you not understand gross/net margin?

It's a purely luxury product. Nobody needs a meme mousemat.

from what i know, you can't play games that use the rockstar launcher fully offline

it's a rockstar problem

[dark sorrel]

on pc yeah, i have one so i know
dont know about deck

[surreal blaze]

quick question

[polar fern]

Sure

[surreal blaze]

anyone know where I can find some solid 3 printer recommendations for small - large objects including making helmets

[polar fern]

What kind of helmet?

[surreal blaze]

high tech military grade helmets, with different filament grade levels like carbon fiber or something along those lines

that and for basic things such as cosplay

[magic crown]

what's your budget?

[surreal blaze]

under 500 would be great but in reality, I know I'll have to spend up to 1200

[magic crown]

also just for prop or do you actually expect to use it?

[surreal blaze]

actual usage

[magic crown]

might want to try use that money on a actual helmet instead

fdm won't have the tensile strength for that type of usage

no matter the material

[polar fern]

I recommend not printing stuff that will land you on a watchlist. Just a friendly tip.

[surreal blaze]

That's fine I can make it work even if its basic structing, and I already am so its fine

[magic crown]

what size are you looking at?

also how willing are you to tinker with things?

[surreal blaze]

any size works, and I have lots of free time

[magic crown]

artillery sidewinder x1 is a fairly good starting point that doesn't need a whole lot of mods to work out of the box

[surreal blaze]

how does it pair with the program solidworks?

decent or not the best

[magic crown]

solidworks doesn't really have anything to do with it since it's just a modeling software

you might be referring to a slicer, which any popular ones would work just fine

[surreal blaze]

just took a quick search seems to sold out most places, you think the updated model would handle just as well

[magic crown]

as for carbon fiber, it's simply not worth it on most materials, won't provide any structural benefits on materials like pla, petg or abs, tho it would help with things such as nylon (soft and prone to heat creep) and pc (lacks tensile strength), but it would also require a enclosure to print those materials

[magic crown]

yeah should be fine given your $500 budget

[dull granite]

how do i remove someone else's post

[surreal blaze]

there's the x2-3d that on the same par in your opinion

@dull granite personally not worth it let them make an image of themselves, can't really delete something only manipulate

@magic crown actually just found a few after a bit, but what are some of the drawbacks without modification

[magic crown]

another option i would suggest is the new bamboo lab x1, a printer that's designed to work out of the box with minimal tuning, but starts at $1k ish and proprietary parts

[surreal blaze]

I don't mind, even if I find a broken one I'm confident I can fix it new is great but quality is better

[magic crown]

print quality, speed, limited nozzle temp meaning you are limited to pla & petg

[magic crown]

gl fixing something with proprietary parts and software

[surreal blaze]

understandable on the second part, but most of the materials are carbon and plant based
would you be able to give me an example of one of the hardest filaments used on the machine

[magic crown]

peek

tho finding/building a printer that could actually print that material definitely won't be cheap

not to mention the cost of material itself

[surreal blaze]

that's fine, starting small is better and working up is easier
I just want to enjoy the process
of course since inflation and production costs, some industries need to make the profit to stay above water

but $1 per gram isn't too bad for the structural validity

[magic crown]

3d printing (especially fdm) at it's current stage is more suited as a prototyping tool rather than quality/mass production of a specific part

[surreal blaze]

oh of course I'm using it for fun

also I really do thank you for your time and educating me appreciate you @magic crown

[magic crown]

no worries, let me know how it goes

[surreal blaze]

one last question, any programs you'd recommend to start with 3d printing that can be used at all levels from novice to expert @magic crown

[magic crown]

try out some slicers and pick the one you like the most

cura, prusa slicer, super slicers are all pretty good

i personally use a mix of cura and super slicer depending on the printer

also check out some 3d printing youtube channels, they will guide you a long way

[surreal blaze]

Thank you so much, also do you mind if I add you I really enjoyed talking to you about this topic
Gave me a great foundation to go off of

[magic crown]

yeah ofc!

That's not really a close call

That's how it's supposed to work

I am just shitty that my egpu breaks bitlocker if it is plugged in.

On the hilarious side, if you enabled bitlocker while having an egpu plugged in, it would never be able to boot unless you had an egpu of that type plugged in 🙂

[full fossil]

🤔

you sure? pretty its just the hsm in the cpu

you have hardware ROT somewhere

https://www.rambus.com/blogs/hardware-root-of-trust/

im not actually sure how win 11 and its inherent requirement of hsm works

but bitlocker isnt hsm

im not a pro at this by any means but what the kek if its locking ur comp out for plugging in an external gpu

[manic torrent]

because an external gpu =~ internal gpu

[full fossil]

i know, but why is ur computer signing everything needed to boot

i can understand in the enterprise but consumer?

it should just be "this cpu has these keys to this boot partition"

not "this cpu is locked to this mobo and this drive and this gpu and this keyboard and this mouse"

[manic torrent]

nope

also it isn't entirely locked

You can use key recovery

but the whole point of bitlocker is to secure the data

[full fossil]

but ur egpu is flagging ur key recovery window?

somewhere someone has failed a consumer trying to use something easily without security implications

[manic torrent]

because it changes the machine identifier.

oh, I don't disagree.

but I understand how it works

[full fossil]

just sans ur cert that verifies the key of an alt config 😄

using an egpu is more concerning in the long term anyway though

First you said 'every company does this'

Now you say 'not most companies', which excluded smaller ones

Okay and that was an overexaggeration, why do you care so much

I clarified my stance

You can clarify your stance while backpadelling

[dense coral]

Okay

You mean, "every company that encompasses the dark ideals of corporate filth"

What I meant is just do a clean install of an OS

[feral kernel]

oh

reinstall windows

[distant bloom]

A clean reinstall. Yeah.

[feral kernel]

but the connection

[distant bloom]

Format the OS drive completely then add whatever OS you are using

If you are super paranoid. Rewrite the entire drive with random 1s and 0s. Since technically when you delete stuff, it's still on the drive until it's rewritten

But I don't even do that unless I'm selling an old drive to someone

[feral kernel]

[fervent oracle]

Whats the difference between these psus? i cant see anything are they both pretty much the same quality?
Corsair RM1000e and Corsair RM1000x

[distant bloom]

AFAIK, The reason why people get caught using a VM is because there is some shared file folders.

[wind pulsar]

The RMe uses cheaper parts and a smaller fan

But they're both top of the line A-Tier PSUs, so no worries there

[fervent oracle]

are you saying the x psu is better spec wise?

[wind pulsar]

Yes, you can still go with the usually cheaper RMe though

[fervent oracle]

well they are the same price so ill go with the x then

[wind pulsar]

Sure thing

[fervent oracle]

thanks

[native fjord]

Is buying a cheap msi gt70 2pc dominator for $150 worth it?

[distant bloom]

Isn't that a 2013/2014 laptop?

[wind pulsar]

In terms of ranking, I'd say it's RM < RMe < RMx < RMi

[native fjord]

@distant bloom yes I've been wanting a laptop to do some light gaming while I'm at my parents place for the holidays I don't have that big of a budget either

[distant bloom]

I think that uses a 870m. I have a laptop that would probably be similiar spec to that laptop. It's also from 2014. I couldn't play RL even in training due to the unstable frametime

[wind pulsar]

Though I'd say the differences between RMi and RMx aren't that big, though @stark ether knows better

[distant bloom]

The value is it worth it is going to have to depend on you and highly tempered expectation. but you could combine that with cloud gaming (using your home pc or a service)

[stark ether]

It's RMe < RM < RMx = RMi, but that aside

Because RMx and RMi are the same thing with or without icue control and RM is 90% the same parts

The only one different enough is... RMe

[native fjord]

@distant bloom yea I have a very beefy pc at home and ik how to setup the cloud so thanks for the advice

[distant bloom]

But I also don't think the price is terrible. I expect my nearly same spec lenovo from back then would probably get 100-150$

[stark ether]

Which should you grab? The cheapest

[distant bloom]

moonlight is amazing software. I was testing it the other day. If you have nvidia gpu, that's def worth checking out

[wind pulsar]

What's the difference apart from the smaller fan and Taiwanese capacitors though?

[stark ether]

Completely different manufacturer and design

It's closer to CX-F than it is to RM(x/i)

[wind pulsar]

I see

[vapid smelt]

We should all use raidmax psus

[distant bloom]

No problem 🙂 Value is super hard to tell someone because it's so individual / expectation focused.

[stark ether]

Also, RM also has Taiwanese/Chinese brands as caps

Not like it matters, but oh well

It's all Chinese/Taiwanese anyways

[distant bloom]

I saw one of those in the wild once

[wind pulsar]

My media player uses one from Xilence or whatever the name is

Hasn't blown up yet, see it as a w

[stark ether]

Xilence has some decent units

But also some crap ones

[vapid smelt]

I own one not in uses ofc was with my old fx 8350 pc

[wind pulsar]

I genuinely have no idea which it is, unfortunately

[stark ether]

It's the same company as BeQuiet, but more or less their budget side

Like Kolink to Noctua

Except that Kolink has 0 control over Noctua as a brand or company, while Listan does over both Xilence and BeQuiet

[wind pulsar]

The only thing I know by heart is that it is a 430w PSU iirc

[wind pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wsvbt6/xilence-performance-a-430w-80-bronze-certified-atx-power-supply-xn060 There we go. xD

[distant bloom]

I still have an fx 8350! The worst PC I ever built in my life. By have, I mean, it's somewhere in the storage room

[wind pulsar]

What I noticed about my unit is how it makes very funky noises sometimes- I assume when it is exposed to very cold air, since that is usually the case when that happens, so I can't record it now- but otherwise it's silent

What makes this media player super load is actually the CPU cooler, not my psu lmao

[stark ether]

Surprisingly not too bad

Also, double forward PSUs tend to whine a lot

So it's probably that

[wind pulsar]

No, it's not a whine

It's hard to describe, it sounds like an engine screaming for dear life

I can't just record it either, because it's kinda random

[full fossil]

its more than likely ur gpu

psu is decent i guess very bare bones

[full fossil]

Anyone know a good camera and mic that’s good for podcasts?

[night heron]

are you looking for a webcam or a dslr

[full fossil]

Dslr

Or both works actually

[wispy marsh]

Hey

What do you guys think about a samsung c4?

[night heron]

if youre not willing to fully commit to spending hella money on a dlsr you could use your phone to record

phone camers are really decent quality

even your previous phone that's a couple years old shits on any webcam

[full fossil]

Aight ty

[wispy marsh]

What is a "legally otaku"

[distant bloom]

This is a really damn good price

[pliant karma]

ohh nice

[wispy marsh]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IWOCCOW

[distant bloom]

The base of the name came from Legally Blonde. One of the reasons I went to law school, but I'm not a blonde. But I am an uber nerd and always have been. So I went with Otaku even though it can be viewed as an insult

[pliant karma]

I just got a go pro lol and a couple of first party things for it.

[wispy marsh]

All lawyers are otakus

[distant bloom]

I wish, but atleast there is alot of passion in the field. Misguided or not

But you will find alot of nerds in the legal field that really like some particular niche or hobby. But there are alot of regular normal people too. No different than the average population

[full fossil]

legal is fun

[distant bloom]

But that is how I got the name. It use to not have Miss in it. Then I got tired of people seeing a photo of me and asking. So then I added it so I'd never have to answer. Then I removed it after it became an issue and then people still asking anyways. Or I get 'people who call themselves female online are male' Then I added it back when I realized I shouldn't make decision based on random strangers online lol.

And then apparently otaku is some places controversial too. But I do like this name 😢

[distant bloom]

Extremely. Well some areas atleast. I don't really like traditional type like other than contracts being my main base skill

If you get hit by truck-kun, don't call me.

[wispy marsh]

The spirit is right, just causes some confusion is all

[distant bloom]

Apparently so. Confusion I wish I didn't have to deal with.

[wispy marsh]

Confusion!

I wish I had a lawyer 13 years ago... when I was 11 I woke up during my open stomach surgery on 4 different occasions. My parents were too exhausted to sue

I could've been rich

[full fossil]

that sounds.... fun

[dire hill]

What do I install to learn how to code

[long briar]

lighting is more important than the camera

[distant bloom]

Probably not.

[indigo plume]

Are water cooler nessary?

[full fossil]

aight tyty

[long briar]

I'd highly recommend getting some good lights that cover the light spectrum evenly

[indigo plume]

Like I'm planning on getting 5600 do I need a water cooler

[full fossil]

books that walk you through the process

[long briar]

then something on the cheaper side like even an older t5i with c-af will do

[distant bloom]

This

[wispy marsh]

You need a device to have software (an environment beyond the kernel) to provide a coding ISE

[full fossil]

no but they are nice

[dire hill]

Yh but I need a compiler

[full fossil]

aight tyty

[distant bloom]

no

[full fossil]

a compiler that the book you are using tells you to get

[indigo plume]

Is there affordable ones

[long briar]

as for lens... you can decide that later

[vapid smelt]

You just need a $20 cooler

[long briar]

no, they're pretty efficient

[indigo plume]

Most water coolers I see after 150+ cad

[wispy marsh]

He just needs the stock, free cooler

[distant bloom]

Classic Hyper 212

[indigo plume]

And the nzxt ones 200+

[long briar]

212 overpriced

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vHH7YJ/thermalright-assassin-x-refined-se-argb-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-ax120-se-argb-white-d2 $18 plenty for a 5600

[wispy marsh]

Frankly, your 5600 probably doesn't have the silicon fitness to run enough current, to warrant needing watercooling

[indigo plume]

5600 is good pairing for 6800xt right

[long briar]

sure

[vapid smelt]

Yeah

[distant bloom]

I would not go no-named knockoff brand for any main component in a PC

[long briar]

thermalright isn't noname

[vapid smelt]

Idk the stock free one sucks as much as last gen Intel stock coolers

[indigo plume]

Cuz I was told most ppl wouldn't see diff between 5600 and 5600x

[full fossil]

thermalright is pretty well known yea

[vapid smelt]

5% at most

[long briar]

also they were first (iirc) to make lga1700 contact plates and uh... yea those are very nice

[fluid ridge]

is that not a you problem

[vapid smelt]

It is a me problem

[wispy marsh]

I have a thermalright axp90 because i can't fit a axp100 with my 5600x

[fluid ridge]

like ya body too immune to the chloroform or whatever they use to put you to sleep

Immunity to anaesthetics and sedatives? At 11?

Are you killua zoldyck?

[fluid ridge]

hunter hunter enjoyer

[distant bloom]

I had to double check to see if I tagged your post by accident x)

[long briar]

o was it not to that...?

[full fossil]

its a good general statement

[wispy marsh]

Thermalright is just thermally right

[long briar]

fair enough

[wispy marsh]

[distant bloom]

It was more a response to 'just get a 20$ cooler'.

[vapid smelt]

My body is amazing.... The one They used didn't work so they just kept pumping me with it (they said they gave me enough to sedate a baby elephant)

[fluid ridge]

at least you didnt feel pain

[wispy marsh]

Maybe you actually are a baby elephant

[vapid smelt]

I was told I was talking to them with my wide open stomach

[long briar]

ah m'bad

[distant bloom]

The hard part about tech market is I don't know all the brands that don't have US dominance. So I try to not say something is no named brand unless it's apparent

[fluid ridge]

if you dont remember it you didnt feel pain

[distant bloom]

I think Thermalright made some 12th gen intel bracket, right?

[vapid smelt]

They got them men in black drugs to make you forget

[wispy marsh]

https://youtu.be/5d97DnoHz5c

[fluid ridge]

the pen zapper

[distant bloom]

I totally see why you thought I was talking about your post directly

[wispy marsh]

[long briar]

I thought it was a response to the thermalright cooler lol yea

[distant bloom]

I woke up during my ankle sugery for my ligaments and I asked the doctors to pull away the curtain. They smiled and did and I passed right back out

[long briar]

Yea you're defo right tho

[long briar]

yep and it drops temps by almost 10c

Personal experience on a 12700k

[distant bloom]

I can't remember who asked, but Gamers Nexus does an amazing job when it comes to benchmarking coolers. I have used his data for many builds I've done for other people who wanted 'the best' or 'cheap but otherwise functional and has good thermals for what it is' X)

[night heron]

contact frames for 13th gen are great

[vapid smelt]

1$ for every C

[night heron]

$15 for 10c is pretty solid

[wispy marsh]

They covered two of my favourite AIO metrics in their reviews

[distant bloom]

What I'd do to get rid of the ambient pc temperature out of my main room <,<

[wispy marsh]

The first one is heat saturation, and the second one is fan normalisation

[night heron]

forreal

at this point high end pcs are legitimate space heaters

[wispy marsh]

Air conditioning?

[long briar]

it's actually so pog

[distant bloom]

My electronics have nothing on my cooling bill. It's about 10F hotter than the rest of the house

[full fossil]

move ur pc out of ur room

[distant bloom]

It's doesn't help

[full fossil]

run cable ti monitor

[long briar]

which I need cause it's actually freezing here

[wispy marsh]

Lower the temps

My room is up to 10°C hotter when I play a game

[vapid smelt]

Basements are amazing for pc cooling

[night heron]

improving your pc cooling actually makes your room hotter
