49.98 cad on Amazon with prime

[bleak vessel]

Usually go belkin but they don’t have any

How bout plugging power surge into power surge

What else is good?

I know apc is, but they don’t have the numbers of ports

[frigid delta]

Eaton is tripplite, they've got a century of engineering under their brand

[bleak vessel]

63 😭😭😭

[frigid delta]

It's a small price to pay

Also don't plug strips into strips

[bleak vessel]

And it’s discontinued but still sold

Expensive

Found a 12 outlet for 36

[full fossil]

hi

[bleak vessel]

God damn it, any other brands?

[frigid delta]

Not really

[bleak vessel]

Cause I am not gonna spend that much

There has to be another brand

[vapid smelt]

63 to save $600 worth of stuff

[bleak vessel]

My house has a circuit breaker already

[pliant karma]

yooo I can create a fire easily. Sparking battery backup jkjk

[bleak vessel]

Ughhhh

[frigid delta]

I'd hope it does

[bleak vessel]

75 with 16 outlet

[vapid smelt]

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Protector-Outlets-PowerPort-Extension/dp/B078YLFFXL/ 23

[frigid delta]

Usually has a insurable amount tied to it

[bleak vessel]

I don’t trust Anker

[vapid smelt]

[bleak vessel]

Look at reviews

Bro, every product it like that

[bleak vessel]

Look

At, pics

[frigid delta]

I have a APC surge protector, it's maintained my PC through storms and power outages
But if I actually care about what I have plugged in I'm not going to cheap out

[bleak vessel]

Does apc have 16 outlets?

[pliant karma]

apc battery backup too?

[bleak vessel]

I know they have 12

[frigid delta]

No, nothing special

[pliant karma]

ah

[vapid smelt]

omg 1 photo of one that caught on fire then 99%of the rest are fine

[pliant karma]

kinda glad I got one a while back then got 2 more. But hey I can keep my dell server that will commit soduku one day and remote pc on one battery while main pc is on the second battery. And my network/wifi router on the third battery

[bleak vessel]

What strip does Linus use

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XozhdsYHDc anker

[frigid delta]

I think he's got custom outlets in some studio sets

[bleak vessel]

Cause sponsor

So I don’t trust

[frigid delta]

Ask an electrician if you're worried lol

[vapid smelt]

do you really think linus takes money from any sponsor that throws money his way?

[bleak vessel]

I can’t find a power strip that is reliable with insurance

[bleak vessel]

Yes

[frigid delta]

Don't go with Amazon basics, how about that

[bleak vessel]

Not tripplite

[frigid delta]

He's declined sponsorships for being too pushy, Samsung once did do a somewhat pushy sponsorship with him thp

[vapid smelt]

wow you really think Linus doesn't verify that the company and products are good before accepting them

[pliant karma]

ironically I have 2 of those, but I only use them on film sets when I know I need power for cameras. Of cource lights are completely on their own circuit

[bleak vessel]

I’ll only have 3 things on at a time

So I just need a good one that has 12-16 ports

Not tripplite

[frigid delta]

What is your budget exactly

[bleak vessel]

40 max

[frigid delta]

Save up another 20 and get tripplite

[bleak vessel]

Idk how I would even mount it under my desk

Without destroy the desk

[gilded quest]

Only use the cheapest power strips with suspiciously thin cables

[frigid delta]

There's holes for mounting in power strips

Screws

[bleak vessel]

I don’t wanna screw

If I don’t gotta

[frigid delta]

Tape

[pliant karma]

👀 and the on/off switch does nothing jk

[bleak vessel]

It’s 79 for tripplite

[gilded quest]

If the plastic doesn't already smell like smoke when you take it out of the packaging, then you spent too much

[frigid delta]

You only have $600 of stuff plugged in but need 16 ports, what are you doing exactly that needs all that

[bleak vessel]

Can’t send pic here

Sad

[pliant karma]

ah so also personal heater

[frigid delta]

Describe what's plugged in

[gilded quest]

sub 2 floatplane

[vapid smelt]

https://www.amazon.com/GE-Protector-Circuit-Warranty-34462/dp/B01L8P2ZQ2/

[bleak vessel]

3D printer, led light, lights, hakko soldering iron, hot air gun Battery charger

[bleak vessel]

Need 12-16 ports

[vapid smelt]

buy two

[bleak vessel]

Only have room for one

[frigid delta]

Don't put all that stress on a single outlet lol

[pliant karma]

^

[vapid smelt]

what kind of wall outlet only has 1 plug?

[bleak vessel]

One is in use

For a dc power supply

[vapid smelt]

can that not work on a power strip?

[bleak vessel]

Idk if it’s safe

[vapid smelt]

is it in uses 24-7 and cant be unpluged?

[bleak vessel]

It’s not in use 24-7

[pliant karma]

also never run 2 portable heaters on an outlet. twas a fun moment for panda when he was dumb

[frigid delta]

Save double and get a fire extinguisher

[bleak vessel]

I prob use it at least 1 min sometimes

And that’s it, don’t really use it much

So I could plug the power supply into a power strip?

[frigid delta]

Just get a regular 8 plug and just physically plug in what you need

[bleak vessel]

It’s a hassle

Cause it’s a electronic work station,

[vapid smelt]

lol

[bleak vessel]

Never heard of that brand

[frigid delta]

If it's a workstation, don't cheap out

[graceful burrow]

I love blowing my circuit breaker

[bleak vessel]

Shouldn’t a circuit breaker protect it?

[gilded quest]

What's wrong with that

[vapid smelt]

https://www.amazon.com/GE-Protector-Extra-Long-Warranty-11824/dp/B00OQIKERG 12 outlest

[frigid delta]

Circuit Breakers don't always protect your devices, it's just to keep you safe

[pliant karma]

should but you should never rely on it 100%. I've had some of my old crap die to that once I won't speak to how but it was not pretty

[gilded quest]

The worst is when you have an 8 port power bar and can only get like 4 things on it cause all the adapters are terribly designed

[bleak vessel]

That’s my issue too

[frigid delta]

My work uses Tripp lite and Eaton and it's been trouble free for decades, 60-80 bucks is well worth it imo

[graceful burrow]

I've seen so many appliances die from power surges when I worked phone support for large appliances don't trust the circuit breaker

[pliant karma]

bruh that's my Schiit AMP for ya, brick takes up like 3 ports on my strip

I did move it to the power bar recently so now it's all freed

[gilded quest]

I daisy chain power bars everywhere cause of that

[pliant karma]

I daisy chained 4 power strips once....this was 12 year old panda

it hurts to think of the shit I did as a kid with power

max I have done was 6 stripes

[gilded quest]

Eh if it's low wattage things it's probably fine

[frigid delta]

Don't forget to mix your PSU cable brands, the smoke means it's thinking

[pliant karma]

[bleak vessel]

So should I get 2 8 ports

Plug dc power supply in

[pliant karma]

and also buying a psu that will blow up

ahemm me who has actually dealt with one. And you know which psu it is

[frigid delta]

Amazon recommended brand only, make sure it weighs less than paper

[pliant karma]

oh I was talking about gigabyte lol

[frigid delta]

Oof

What amperage is your breaker even

[bleak vessel]

It’s not on all at once

15amp

Yes

3 devices on max st a time

[pliant karma]

one I got from newegg bundle took out 1 ssd and 2 hdds in an old dell optiplex. Lucky it did not kill the 1050 in it. I did RMA it and then resell the unit for the full asking price kinda surprised someone actually bought it off me I never heard a word from them after it left my hands.

[frigid delta]

But really tho, get a good quality one, the price isn't too much more

[bleak vessel]

For all the stuff

So I don’t need to keep unplugging

[frigid delta]

Check Obituaries for updates

[bleak vessel]

Cause it’s frustrating

[pliant karma]

lol then again I do not need an update. I know that unit blew up again at some point

and I have a dismantled P750GM sitting on my shelf

[bleak vessel]

U less y’all can solve my issues, have a lot of cables piled near it

[frigid delta]

I agree with @full fossil a real surge protector is worth it

In theory it'll pay for itself

[pliant karma]

It will regardless

[bleak vessel]

Belkin been fine for me

But the thing doesn’t hold much

[frigid delta]

Unless you are using 16 plugs at once just get a smaller quality unit and keep it within reach for swaps

[full fossil]

16 is too many

[bleak vessel]

What’s a small quality unit

[frigid delta]

But the warmth of the cable keeps him warm

[full fossil]

Lol

[frigid delta]

Just type Tripp lite into amazon

They offer a suite of surge protectors

[bleak vessel]

Can it handle my dc power supply

My supply is the ps-305dm by dr meter

[frigid delta]

Googling that immediately says to NOT do that

[bleak vessel]

Oh

[stiff grotto]

waddup

[bleak vessel]

Really?

[stiff grotto]

yeah

[bleak vessel]

God damn it man,

[stiff grotto]

i know it sucks

[frigid delta]

As well as appliances

[bleak vessel]

2 ports are for my printer, one for light, UGHHH

AND other more

K was thinking 2 8 strips

[frigid delta]

Is your outlet 120v

[bleak vessel]

But nvm

Yes, it is

Want me to send u a dm of my stuff?

[frigid delta]

No

[graceful burrow]

Why do you have a separate port for a light for your 3d printer

[bleak vessel]

Because I’m, one for my light for my desk, 3D printer requires 2 seperate port

And got other stuff

[graceful burrow]

That doesn't explain anything
Infact you've just confused me more kek

[bleak vessel]

What do I needa explain

[frigid delta]

At this point what kind of fire insurance policy you have lol

[graceful burrow]

Why you have a separate plug for your lights just for your 3d printer kek

[bleak vessel]

It’s not for my printer

For my electronic work station ish,

[graceful burrow]

I misread then

[bleak vessel]

Anyone know a power brick that can output 12v dc? Needa get rid of cables to help

[frigid delta]

Do you only have one outlet within reach

[bleak vessel]

Wym

One outlet?

[frigid delta]

Like in the room how many wall outlets do you have

[bleak vessel]

One in reach

Others in use

[graceful burrow]

Homie's absolutely tripping a breaker soon

[bleak vessel]

Across the room

[graceful burrow]

100%

[frigid delta]

Can your printer setup be placed at a separate outlet within the room?

[bleak vessel]

No

[frigid delta]

Has there been any breakers blown with how it's setup currently?

[bleak vessel]

No

[graceful burrow]

Surprising
There's still time

[bleak vessel]

It won’t ever blow

It’s not all running at once

But it’s hard unplugging

Cause it’s so tight in

[stray ice]

An someone help me

Pls I’m scared

[vapid smelt]

#1027757333117415424

[frigid delta]

Regular plugging and unplugging will loosen any port

[stray ice]

No one has helped me still

[vapid smelt]

sounds like a you problem them

[stray ice]

Can u help me

[bleak vessel]

It’s gonna be very hard to unplug and plug

[graceful burrow]

It's been like ten minutes in a predominantly north American server at night

On a Sunday night

[vapid smelt]

dude its only been 18 mins why are you so impatient

[stray ice]

I’m scared

[full fossil]

wrong server

[frigid delta]

If no magic smoke it's probably just not plugged in

[graceful burrow]

It ain't getting damaged further sittin there waiting for help just let it vibe and watch a YouTube or smth

[frigid delta]

I want you to show your local fire marshal your 16plug setup and tell him changing plugs is too much
But seriously spend the extra on a good one

[bleak vessel]

Might get 12 outlet belkin

And combine 2 12v supply together

[frigid delta]

Don't forget an extinguisher

[frigid delta]

Combined?

[bleak vessel]

Yeah, like a power brick that can go 12v

Idk if they can go that high, but a power brick with 2 usb output

Belkin isn’t that bad

You're still limited by 1800w maximum draw

[frigid delta]

You mean a UPS?

Get a good one, don't plug your DC power supply into it @bleak vessel

[polar pine]

Guys, don't forget to sign up for the Kraft Mac & Cheese Class Action Lawsuit to get your payout

[frigid delta]

For the Velveeta thing?

[edgy moss]

just bought a ugreen charger

Code BF45W saved me $12 on a mini 45w

[bleak vessel]

no, cause i have 2led light using 12v, same volateg, i wanna combine into one, is it possible

[frigid delta]

Maybe, depends

[echo ridge]

If you want a eu server go to like bulid a pc or someshit

[bleak vessel]

On?

I wanna get rid of some stuff I can combine

Into one port

[frigid delta]

LEDs can be daisy chained if it's a strip

But I've had some melt from to many

[torn bone]

I know yall r tech nerds but any chem nerds here

If me and my friend were allegedly to ferment booz in masonjars in our hs dorms what would the best way to do so and not die be

[wispy pollen]

straight facebook. Ain't gonna bother with unofficial ones, especially when I first made it in 2012

[frigid delta]

I don't think you're gonna find help on alcohol distillation for high school age kids

[torn bone]

The fermentation of something is inevitable i just wana do it without dying, dont plan on drinking it just wana do it for science :p

[sonic barn]

Could be another window or tab open, even some program that logs input. Also cookies can be taken

You can't handshake a https connection though

[frigid delta]

You're probably going to end up with methanol if you don't know what you're doing, which will make you very sick and blind

[torn bone]

Any way to remove it

[frigid delta]

I really can't help with that

[opaque mantle]

Wi-Fi 5Ghz via Wi-Fi 6E - are they the same thing, or is 6E an extension to the 5Ghz?

[wispy pollen]

I literally block all pop-ups, plus the last hack before this was from 2018, and that's definitely from a rookie.

I doubt there were any keyloggers active.

[wispy marsh]

How do i check temps and fan speed in the operating system?

[fluid ridge]

hwinfo

[wispy marsh]

It does not work

[fluid ridge]

but it does work

[wispy marsh]

It is exe

[fluid ridge]

yeah

I can't use exe

[fluid ridge]

why nit

@wispy marsh what OS do you use?

[wispy marsh]

Promxox

[eager notch]

0/10 LTT screwdriver doesn't work for lugnuts

[buoyant current]

o wow, that was unexpected

[wispy marsh]

[fluid ridge]

maybe dont use an operating system nobody else uses

perhaps app compatibility will work better

[wispy marsh]

But windows require a license

[fluid ridge]

no it doesnt

[keen eagle]

Not really

[fluid ridge]

literally just dont activate windows

[keen eagle]

Only if you wanna access personalisation and stuff like that

[fluid ridge]

i have been using unactivated windows for 7 months

[wispy marsh]

I run proxmox for lightweight container and docker container

Windows is anything but lightweight

[keen eagle]

I thought you said you were running windows 7 for a sec 😂

Anyone on Google DNS?

[fluid ridge]

why

[keen eagle]

I haven't been able to access Reddit for a couple of days now

[fluid ridge]

literally why would you

[keen eagle]

Google WiFi Routers

Mesh

[fluid ridge]

why would you use gogole hardware

thye steel data

[keen eagle]

Lol this is from like 2018

[dull granite]

good for you tbh

while scrolling through some subreddits may not suck complete ass, reddit is generally cancerous

[fluid ridge]

google is an advertisement company

[keen eagle]

You don't realise how much you use reddit on the daily until you can't access it

[fluid ridge]

as such, their objective is to collect as much data about you as possible

[keen eagle]

I am aware

[fluid ridge]

i only use reddit for r/crazyfuckingvideos

[keen eagle]

I don't care about Google having access to my data tbh

[fluid ridge]

when google has your data the FBI and CIA has your data

1.1.1.2 blocks malware

i use a pihole anyways it is what it is

[keen eagle]

I just haven't messed with my DNS at all lol I just left it on default until now

[eager notch]

It ain't that hard to get windows activated, the last legitimate copy of windows I bought was my laptop in 2019 and I've built 5 computers since then all using that activation that is tied to my Microsoft account

[keen eagle]

I'm Indian

[fluid ridge]

the indian government backdoors to the CIA

[keen eagle]

Lol I doubt that but sure

[fluid ridge]

the CIA has backdoors in every major government in the first world

[dull granite]

are you sure they didn't block it

like they did with tiktok

[fluid ridge]

exactly

[keen eagle]

Reddit? Nah I can access it just fine on my ISP's DNS

[fluid ridge]

this guy knows what he's talking about

[dull granite]

oh

[keen eagle]

Referring to India as "first world" is very charitable lmao

[fluid ridge]

doesnt matter if it's india, china or somalia

the high eagle sees all

[keen eagle]

Either way I'm not very concerned with them having access to my data

I don't do shady shit

[fluid ridge]

this is the type of mindset that allowed 1984 to happen

[dull granite]

1984 never happened

[dull granite]

i dunno how shipping looks in NZ

[vapid smelt]

pcpartpicker has the newzeland option

[dull granite]

yo

really

[austere valve]

btw this is the site which pc parts r most popular https://www.pbtech.co.nz/

[dull granite]

that's nice

[vapid smelt]

why must nz be so weak

[austere valve]

idk

and there is also like a sale rn on https://www.pbtech.co.nz/

[vapid smelt]

what if for some reason the rgb parts are cheaper and better?

[austere valve]

sure

[dull granite]

hmmm there's no deepcool ak620

i dont know 😭

[dull granite]

hmm

[austere valve]

[dull granite]

ye

i5-13600K is a great option

[vapid smelt]

2000nzd is too little for that and a good gpu

[dull granite]

oh shoot i didn't saw

that it was nzd i thought it was 2k usd

sorry

[austere valve]

all goods

[dull granite]

2000$NZD should be enough for a pretty good gaming pc

RX 6600 PCs being good and 1660 s being fine enough

[vapid smelt]

1200usd is 2000nzd and their parts cost more

[dull granite]

hmm

[austere valve]

ya

[manic torrent]

RGB is critical

[graceful burrow]

[manic torrent]

Tbh. No RGB you might as well be using a 2005 HP ex lease office PC

[austere valve]

hi

[vapid smelt]

3drending doesn't benefit from integrated gpus right

[graceful burrow]

[graceful burrow]

No lmao

[dull granite]

is it better to get nvidia rtx card for 3d rendering

[manic torrent]

It can.

[dull granite]

because of better RTX support

even if performs a little bit slower

[manic torrent]

You're just saying words you think you understand

[vapid smelt]

im brain dead right now and forgot what benifited from quick sink

[graceful burrow]

You can use it as a render device in blender if you have it active but it ends up being slower because your actual gpu is much faster

[dull granite]

wha

[manic torrent]

Encoding/decoding

[manic torrent]

Yeah, you can 🙂

[graceful burrow]

But it doesn't benefit :)

[manic torrent]

Some things you can actually use both and have it benefit .

[graceful burrow]

You're lying
Build an rc car to prove it

[dull granite]

Rtx 3060 it is

[austere valve]

yaa

[vapid smelt]

@austere valve does New Zealand include vat in the price?

[austere valve]

vat?

[vapid smelt]

value added tax

[austere valve]

i think

wait nah i can use it as an expense for buisness

but yes there is tax

[dull granite]

how much cores you would need

6 core cpu or 8 cpu

hmmm

[vapid smelt]

32

[austere valve]

8?

[dull granite]

i5-12400F is

[graceful burrow]

96

[dull granite]

18$ more expensive than 5600X

which is like 10-12$ us dollars

[manic torrent]

I bought a 5700x today

[dull granite]

oh i forgot about this lil fella

it's 350$

this one is pretty nice

damn i dont even touch it and I know that

[dull granite]

Blender artists equipped with NVIDIA RTX GPUs also maintain performance advantages over Mac. Midrange GeForce RTX 3060 Studio laptops deliver 3.5x faster rendering than the fastest M1 Max Macbooks per Blender's benchmark testing

[austere valve]

oh

ok

[manic torrent]

Than a MacBook. That's a shit comparison

[dull granite]

ohhh

i though it was like m1 ultra or something

ok im dumb

ok but RTX 3060 is still a good choice

[austere valve]

should i buy this???

[dull granite]

should be enough

but you can bump up the price to get more higher quality parts like case, psu etc

or not

it's 2000$

prob like a cpu

idk

any is fine

Except cd is a built-in.

So if they aren't a dumbass noob, it won't take long.

[full fossil]

If you run that command

It does alias it

I just tested it in a container

[manic torrent]

Yes, but if you know that cd is a built in

[vapid smelt]

https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/738DNc $2075 if you want a i7 12700 and a 3060 im not sure if your application scale better with amd or nvida in gaming the rx 6600 is just a hair behind the 3060

[full fossil]

Even worst alias cd="echo bash: cd: command not found"

[manic torrent]

You know that's not possible

[full fossil]

That’s why it’s funny

[tranquil grove]

is $70 enough for a good keyboard(like to build a custom one)

[vapid smelt]

free is better

[full fossil]

It’s a harmless prank but
It’ll take a second of “cd is missing!? How??!!”

[manic torrent]

Yeah except I was once on a system where /bin was a symlink, and it got removed.

[full fossil]

grinds teeth

[manic torrent]

How did it get removed? I removed it. Because I stupidly assumed it was a directory.

[austere valve]

k ill check it

[manic torrent]

That was a tense moment.

[dull granite]

rx 6600 is not hair before rtx 3060

but 6600 xt is better than 3060

[austere valve]

so should i go with https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/vVBkPX?

?*

[vapid smelt]

i would

a computer

[dull granite]

um yeah

[fossil frost]

tbh, the 12700 might be a little overkill for a 1080p gaming machine, but if you do anything at all other than gaming on it, even the slightest hint of programming or other production work, then yes, makes 100% sense

[full fossil]

wat

where did you get 139 from

32 gigs of ram, rx 6600, i7-12700

2 tb, nvme storage

650 watts

liquid cooling
all of this is plenty for 1080 gaming

lol

better than my build that cost the same like 2 or 3 years ago

[wise tundra]

Lmao what's the chance that I happen to use the same Optiplex as Jake on the "Your Router Suck." video

[tawdry musk]

Did torproject.org get hacked?

Hot take: Diet Coke is the worst soda ever created

[wind pulsar]

Save yourself some money and go with a 12600k, the performance is near identical

A 12700 just isn't worth it

[fossil frost]

for gaming yes, for production, no

[wind pulsar]

Still not worth the uplift

[fossil frost]

its worth the extra cores

[wind pulsar]

That's great, you can just go with a 13600k then

[fossil frost]

then why not the 13700... more cores still...

or... do what i did myself, and go for the 5950x

[wind pulsar]

Because the way it works is slightly different this time

The most balanced gaming-production option is not the 1x700k anymore

[tawdry musk]

More cores don't make better gaming

[wispy marsh]

That's what ubm said

[full fossil]

Unless the game runs the graphics on your cpu XD

[full fossil]

I'm honestly tempted to just get a 13600k

[full fossil]

Imagine having the money for this

me sitting here with a 4 core i5 from 10 years ago that was mid range at release

I'm planning on getting a 13900ks + another 600 for a custom loop

[wispy marsh]

I use a 2600

[full fossil]

My motherboard itself was 500

[wispy marsh]

Can't overclock, can't game

[full fossil]

My r5 2600 died

[wispy marsh]

Can run a server, though

[tawdry musk]

It's not just that, it's just too many cores can get real laggy

[wispy marsh]

The 3700x has twice as many cores as the 2600

[full fossil]

Again if your game runs on pygame and is a big game, more cores = better

Kek

True

[tawdry musk]

No

[full fossil]

Main thing is I spend all my income on new hardware

[tawdry musk]

4-8 cores is ideal for gaming

[wispy marsh]

Imagine a 4c8t 2600 gaming today

[tawdry musk]

Why would you game with threads on

[wispy marsh]

So it'll have a more tightly-knitted performance

[tawdry musk]

If your CPU usage is light you get better performance

Threading improves utilisation on low CPU use

[wispy marsh]

It tops out at 3.8ghz single-core

[tawdry musk]

People need to go back to Intel for gaming advice

[wispy marsh]

Tbh is a really old chip

[wind pulsar]

That is not how that works, but I generally agree

Keep it a normal standards, not that kind of reasoning

[graceful onyx]

Anyone have idea what thunderbolt 5v switch does in bios?

[wind pulsar]

But why

[dull granite]

i got 3 unsolicited *messages* after 0.46 seconds of choosing female pronouns role in a christian server :c

[graceful onyx]

1 sec, gonna slide there as well

[dull granite]

couldn't get all of them (roles) cuz they set it up so you can have only one

Christian servers are something else

most fun ones are "nof@p" ones

because even if they have only two jobs (be supportive and don't be h%%%y) they still fail at this

[willow snow]

I want you guys to know I had a dream last night I bought a beanie, but Linus was mad I didn’t get an LTT version and then we “tested” them to see which one gave you worse “hat hair” 💀💀💀

[wind pulsar]

'Women have it so much easier'

🤡 🤡 🤡

[gaunt cave]

On a... Christian server? All my misgivings about the religion aside, isn't a Christian server the one place where you should be safe from that stuff?

[dull granite]

yea

i guess

[sonic barn]

Indeed

[idle sigil]

see if they have linked socials and just post there images lol

[pure pike]

hey is anybody good with custom roms?

[tight marlin]

Yeah, I’m surprised. It’s usually just threats because you aren’t straight.

Please do

[tight marlin]

Source, am a Christian

[whole lake]

Intel extreme tech upgrade but you have to use intel GPUs

[dire roost]

i think we can all guess why

[night heron]

because it’s a controversial topic and we’re in a tech server

[dire roost]

exactly

[tribal lance]

does anyone know what would be better secondary storage for my chromebook running windows, a usb or a sd card

[dire roost]

id guess usb

[tribal lance]

thats what i thought

[tight marlin]

I have no clue, it’s the one bs word van I see here.

[tribal lance]

just would have to find a nice small usb

[dire roost]

totally possible

[dire roost]

how is it bs

[tight marlin]

I have a ton of old usb drives

[dire roost]

same

[tight marlin]

It’s a normal word in an average vocabulary. Banning curse words isn’t bs though, as not everyone talks with a sailor mouth.

[dire roost]

he got it to run windows so now its just a book

[tribal lance]

f emmc storage, 4gb ram an 16gb storage no fun

[dire roost]

its a tech server

[tribal lance]

yessir, 12+ hours on windows is nice

[tight marlin]

I had one with 2gb of ram and 32gb of storage

Thing was a good small laptop. I took it everywhere

[tribal lance]

yeah this ones specs are weird

[tight marlin]

Wish it didn’t power loop

[tribal lance]

runs terraria lmao

[tight marlin]

Would light up power light, screen light up for a bit, and then off. Over and over

[dire roost]

whats on ur pfp? just curious cause i cant make out what it is whatsoever

[tight marlin]

Toaster protogen

[tribal lance]

did you try reflashing it

[tight marlin]

You couldn’t, it wouldn’t even post

[tribal lance]

im new to this chrultrabook shit, so idk how bad they are when they loop yeah

[dire roost]

whats that

[tribal lance]

but yeah thats unfortunate

[tight marlin]

Lost nothing of importance though, I’d only ever put I port any data on something that I can recover from

[tight marlin]

Banned word

[dire roost]

ohhh

i see

[tight marlin]

We are f bait for sci-fi fans

[tribal lance]

smart, im just using it as a secondary, basic pc

[dire roost]

i never really bothered to get into chromebooks, too much of a hassle to start

[tribal lance]

getting windows onto 16gb was not fun

[tight marlin]

Mine was for one free game on steam

[dire roost]

getting windows onto anything isnt fun

[tribal lance]

thats fair, i just had this laying around from highschool

[tight marlin]

Windows 8 on 32 gb isn’t fun

[tribal lance]

real, might put linux on this

[dire roost]

ahh nice

[dire roost]

that'd be a W

[dire roost]

windows 8 is so ass

[tribal lance]

fr

[tight marlin]

Had to do that for my hp stream

[dire roost]

chromeOS ass windows

[tribal lance]

8.1 was okay

[tight marlin]

Somehow a tablet runs windows 8 better than a laptop

[dire roost]

what'd u use it for

[tribal lance]

yk, chrome os isnt actually that baf

[dire roost]

take that back

[tribal lance]

its got steam now

native

[tight marlin]

Free 18+ game and to test Linux

[tribal lance]

noooooo

[dire roost]

oh nice

[dire roost]

chrome OS

[tight marlin]

Oh wait, I had more than one. It was a few games. Learned running sudo commands

[tribal lance]

It actually gets better battery on windows 10 lmao you right

15 hours remaining lmao

[dire roost]

i once had ubuntu for the sake of it but other than that i have no linux experience

[dire roost]

whats battery life on chrome OS

[tribal lance]

Ubuntu is good, especially this last release

[tight marlin]

Sudo install (I forgot the rest it’s been a while

[dire roost]

also thats cause chrome OS does so many unnecessary processes (somehow even more than windows 10)

[tribal lance]

I don’t think I ever saw it above 13 hours

[dire roost]

nutty

[tribal lance]

And ig their power management probably isn’t good

[dire roost]

i like the interface

[dire roost]

complete ass

[tight marlin]

I just use pop os

[tribal lance]

But imagine what it would get if this wasn’t used for 4 years of school

20 hours 💀

[night heron]

chrome os is more efficient but most laptops power management software are only on windows

[tight marlin]

If my school doesn’t claim this Chromebook when I’m done, I’m so putting Linux on it

[night heron]

windows + undervolt > linux + auto voltage

[tribal lance]

Yeah, but I do have to say chrome os is a good mix of snappy and battery life

[tribal lance]

I was wondering if I could undervolt this, but idk it’s not a big deal

[tight marlin]

It’s $50 in parts

[burnt bone]

Chromebooks are just Laptops that come without the Windows activation fee with Coreboot firmware.

That's all they're good for

[night heron]

chromebooks are awesome for schools

[tribal lance]

this i know

[tight marlin]

My iPod needs a lot in parts

[night heron]

you’re not getting a $200 brand new windows laptop that performs as well as a chromebook

[tribal lance]

and most people who just surf

[tight marlin]

What performance

[burnt bone]

Yeah true. But for me I see chromebooks as a secure Linux laptop

[night heron]

responsiveness in basic office tasks

that’s all chromebooks are meant for

expecting any more than that defeats the purpose

[dire roost]

i dont like the always online functionality

[tight marlin]

They ram a game better than a laptop with higher specs

[tribal lance]

yeah, the only problem with chrome os is its so locked down

[burnt bone]

Install Arch Linux on it, register it with secure boot, and enjoy the lightning fast and secure Coreboot firmware

[night heron]

chromebooks are cheap dummy proof office devices

[tribal lance]

i was thinking mint

but idk about touchpad drivers

[burnt bone]

libinput should cover it

[tight marlin]

Teachers need to be paid more

[dire roost]

i disagree

teachers need a pay cut

[mild elm]

???

[tribal lance]

they need a wage increase in canada

[dire roost]

sorry let me rephrase, a particular teacher just yelled at me so he needs a pay cut

[tribal lance]

but so does everyone

[tight marlin]

Construction workers get paid more. Garbage men get paid more.

[dire roost]

other than him def raise the waiges

[tight marlin]

And someone just handed me a phone to jailbreak

[tribal lance]

yeah i could literally make 35/hr rn

[dire roost]

thats a lot

[tribal lance]

that brings back memories

[tight marlin]

It’s a 6, rose gold

[dire roost]

ew

[tribal lance]

i wanna restore my 6

i miss it

[tight marlin]

He owns it, but someone put it into lost mode at his home and he doesn’t have the password to undo it

[dire roost]

i miss my samsung galaxy advance

[tribal lance]

i miss my XR, im using a 8 in 2022 someone shoot me

[tight marlin]

I miss Pablo

[tribal lance]

me too

[tight marlin]

But I’m getting better with an iPhone

[tribal lance]

he was a homie

[tight marlin]

Pablo was my note 20 ultra,

[tribal lance]

last samsung i had was my s8

2 day battery will be missed

[tight marlin]

He’s been through some stuff. Being stolen, recovered, sitting in a drawer until he became mine, and taking some falls on a bike

He got named Pablo because of him being stolen

[tribal lance]

damn man pablo been through the ringer

[tight marlin]

He got stolen by a Hispanic couple. They caved in when we told them we had photos of my dead sister in the phone that haven’t been backed up

Pablo is now going to be recycled or fixed up and sold off

Don’t know what AT&T does with traded in phones

[tribal lance]

so they ended up giving it back?

[dire roost]

a70 i have rn has ~20hrs

[tribal lance]

nooo pablo

[tribal lance]

my iphone 8 gets 4 hours screen on if im lucky lmao

[tight marlin]

Yup, and he got paid off a few minutes before he got returned since the store was closing. My stepmother having been kidnapped and taken to Mexico helped since she had some Spanish. So my dad was give a replacement note 20 ultra and a few minutes later Pablo was back

[dire roost]

[tight marlin]

So then that phone replaced a phone that had screen issues

So Pablo has been through a lot.

[tribal lance]

dude the pablo backstory is crazy

[tight marlin]

Yes

[tribal lance]

i need a new phone lmao

[tight marlin]

And now he is no more mine.

[dire roost]

pablo was born in juarez

[dire roost]

fr

[tribal lance]

ill probably buy myself a used 11 or sum

[tight marlin]

Pablo had fun in his life. And that phone lived a life

[dire roost]

refurbished da way to go

[tight marlin]

What does AT&T do with traded in phones?

[mild elm]

Probably your fault

[tribal lance]

well its either i buy used 11, or fix my xr which needs a lot lol

[tight marlin]

I’ma test airdrop at lunch

[dire roost]

he told me to put away my phone and when i didnt do it after .3 seconds he started to yell, when i asked why he said it was because he was already pissed off by my classmate

[mild elm]

Why was your phone out in the first place

[dire roost]

i was texting my mom about dinner and the explanation part of the class was already over so i thought it'd be okay

[tribal lance]

kill the teacher ong

[dire roost]

das what im saying

bro i got people in my class coming in late cause they were doing lines in the bathroom and he gets mad at me for texting my mum 💀

[tribal lance]

i can watch a show on my phone in class teacher dont care

[dire roost]

on my school it differs per teacher

[tribal lance]

ew wtf kids need to stick to weed lmao

[dire roost]

some allow you to eat some yell at you as soon as u think ab drinkin water

[dire roost]

agreed

[tribal lance]

same here, but most are chill, and they probably dont give a f about me since im doing grade 12 again lmao

[dire roost]

bro im in college 💀

[tribal lance]

yeah nvm thats different then lmao

get off yo phone

[dire roost]

i am also redoing the year

like i see his point but he could have some grain of respect

[tribal lance]

yeah well most teachers dont know what that is

what you going to college for?

[tight marlin]

To go into debt

[tribal lance]

real

imma just go to trade school and get me automotive service tech

[tight marlin]

Trade school for IT

I fix old sound equipment

[tribal lance]

id do IT if its something i could see myself doing for years, but i see myself being a mechanic longer, and ill just do pc stuff on the side

[tribal lance]

yo thats cool

[tight marlin]

I pull it from the basement and attic, and then give it a new life

[tribal lance]

i want to actually get into audio, i love music and computers so might as well f around with sound equipment lmao

[tribal lance]

thats awesome man

[tight marlin]

I am kind of into it. It’s not the highest quality and people hate on me for not having the newest expensive audio. But I love it myself

[tribal lance]

i see audio equipment like cameras, yeah the new Dslrs may be better than film, but film just has a unique look to it, just as old audio equipment has a unique sound

[tight marlin]

Yes

And you can fix the old stuff yourself

For the most part, crts and camcorders need some special care

[tribal lance]

yeah id never fix a crt myself, i like living kinda

[tight marlin]

CRT because it’s dangerous to you, camcorder because you are dangerous to it

[tribal lance]

ive seen my life flash from a flash capacitor in a camera lmao

[fossil frost]

fixing anything electronic CAN be dangerous... but is not dangerous at all if you know what you are doing

[tight marlin]

You can work on a crt yourself, I have the knowledge and tools to do it. But it will be something I don’t wanna do myself

[tight marlin]

Yes, I have fixed my self contained subwoofers

Big capacitors

Tools in the wrong place can kill you or hurt you

I’ve shocked myself with outlet vintage a few times

[tribal lance]

oh yeah

[tribal lance]

howd that feel

[tight marlin]

I can still feel the tingle in my left arm sometimes

It’s been a few months

[tribal lance]

lmaooo

thats me and the hole i put through my bottom lip, it still tingles sometimes lmao

[tight marlin]

Fixing audio equipment can be dangerous if you don’t give the electronics respect

Respect the capacitors.

Or even better, let the device sit for a while after you unplug it

My sub is the one device I won’t let the capacitors empty. As it takes an hour to recharge them

[fossil frost]

unplug it, and then try and switch it on a few times, that usually drains caps to a level where you probably wont die

[tribal lance]

holy fuck an hour for a cap?

[tight marlin]

It’s a few big caps

[fossil frost]

big caps they use in PSUs or old TVs can last years

[tight marlin]

My subwoofer sat in the attic for a while.

[tribal lance]

thats crazy, i had no idea, like you mean hold a charge?

[tight marlin]

And then I gave it life again. Holy shit that took forever to fill

[fossil frost]

yeah, those big caps can hold 100s of volts for years

[tight marlin]

Respect the electronics

[fossil frost]

caps in microwaves too.. 100% can kill you if you dont discharge them first, and can take years to discharge on their own

[tribal lance]

yes sir lmao

[tight marlin]

I’ve done some shocking before using a test light hooked onto the power supply rods with the plug partially on. Tapping that testing end on capacitors gave some fun sparks

CRT discharging procedure is interesting

[fossil frost]

microwave is the 1 electronic thing in a house that i would say... never open it up.... its usually always better to just throw it away and buy a new one... because you are not just messing with electronics there, you are potentially messing with letting radiation leak out if you dont fit everything back together properly

[tight marlin]

Alligator clip on the shaft of a flathead, clip to crt ground. Put the flathead under a suction cup and wait for a spark. If it doesn’t spark, poke a few more times. They should be discharged if the circuitry is working right

It sometimes they don’t discharge themselves

[fossil frost]

my favourite thing to forget is... when changing the connectors on a lipo battery for an RC car (they always come with the wrong connector)... never... ever... cut both wires to the connector at the same time.... cut one... tape it... cut the other... cutting both at the same time... you can short the lipo, and short it long enough to damage it and cause it to start causing big problems for you 🙂

[sleek eagle]

Something fun about seeing the 1960s ibm mainframe in my basement and my 2021 laptop running the same program and watching the technological gains over the 60 years between them.

Also the density of storage increasing from the 14 inch diameter hard drive platters to the 512gb m.2 ssd in the laptop

[cunning yoke]

Is $75 for a PSP new in box (not sealed, but never used) a great deal? Honestly not sure I'd have a ton of use for it, but it seems low

[sleek eagle]

Sounds okay

[cunning yoke]

Yeah it doesn't seem stellar or a must-buy. Shame I already have a modded switch and 3ds

[sleek eagle]

I’m not the most qualified on psp prices as I much prefer to buy pre 1979 computing

[cunning yoke]

haha fair enough. From what I can tell on eBay, it's about the standard price

and I know it'd just sit on a shelf for quite a while anyway

Plus I just ordered RAM so I can build a new NAS. That's already gonna be a project

[full fossil]

my amp is from the 70's

[cunning yoke]

What do y'all who have a Plex/Storage/Torrent NAS use for the OS?

[full fossil]

my tape deck is also really old

[sleek eagle]

Computers not that old though

My ibm 1800 mainframe was built 1965 if I remember correctly

[full kelp]

My sister just got a new pc.... it has a xeon platinum 8124m 18C, 48 gb ram, a 1660, 750W psu, and an intensity pro capture card all for $100!! I'm so jealous

[sleek eagle]

I’m jealous as well for that price

[full kelp]

Told her ill try and get her a new gpu because 1660 is a little out dated

[gaunt cave]

folks i have a question...ive been upgrading my wifi recently and: is 6e not "common"? like most devices made in the last couple of years have 6e at least mid and high end ones but then: the new google tablet for example does not, there's like maybe 2 APs that do...are we still a couple of years till 6e adoption? But hten you have like eero and google wifi pods that have 6e

[sharp willow]

750w psu is that going to be fine ?

[wispy marsh]

Metallica has a new album

Their first single from 2022 just released 45min ago

[gaunt cave]

i usually use pcpartpicker to figure out the watts and put that at like 50-70%

[full kelp]

Could probably get away with a 650 but recommended going higher

[sharp willow]

oh my... I thought xeons were "wattovores"

[full kelp]

Yeah they can consume up to 300W when under full load on all cores

The gpu is just such a low spec that the 750 is more than big enough. If I put a rtx card in ill been to swap the psu

[sharp willow]

ah so I was right to put 1000w on my dual 2698b and dual quadro rtx 4000

[full kelp]

Yeah, you definitely want a 1000W or more

Playing in the safe side

I'm the kind of guy who hated buying a 650W for a 12400f and a 3060 because 750 is the lowest I like going in a pc

[tepid bolt]

I run an 11700k on a 650w psu

[sharp willow]

burn baby burn XD

[tepid bolt]

400w+ cpu les gooo

[polar fern]

Sigh.

Where’s my screwdriver?

Gonna be 2023 before it arrives here. 😑

[gaunt cave]

i know this is a point thats been said before but. it's weird that ltt store acts like an american store not a canadian one

[tight marlin]

Explain? How does a site act like a different country

[gaunt cave]

currency, and shipping. though with shipping i assume they use distribution partners in US and Canada outside of western so it's pretty much the same either way. the currency is odd (iirc someone mentioned it at some point and someone else said taht since most customers were likely to be american that made the most sense)

have u seen the hasan minhaj bit about how sports (like cricket and football) have the ability to bring countries and peoples together?

[tight marlin]

Most sites will convert currency so it displays the currency of your location

I’m debating if I should get a box of old tech to try to fix

[tight marlin]

Who?

[polar fern]

I’m not concerned about where the item is originating/shipped from. I just want it to ship. Was supposed to ship last month.

And don’t get me wrong. I am glad that LTT is seeing such success.

I just want my screwdriver.

Or at the very least some idea of when it will arrive here.

[graceful burrow]

have you contacted support

[polar fern]

I am an incredibly patient person. I have literally waited outside in the freezing cold for a train to arrive for multiple hours. I have also walked multiple miles to get somewhere where I needed to go without complaint. I simply feel at this point that more transparency in the current shipping situation should be a priority.

Yes.

[graceful burrow]

and what did they say

[polar fern]

no response yet

[graceful burrow]

sounds like you're not very patient ngl, if you're making posts about it twice a week

[sinful moat]

New video link for Jason David Frank funeral service

https://www.facebook.com/jasondfrank/videos/1266119097290372/

[graceful burrow]

who

ah the power ranger, i heard about that

big rips to my man, i get it

[polar fern]

I have not even received a shipping notification. I don’t mind if it takes a while to actually get here, but it’s another thing entirely hasn’t even shipped yet weeks after it was said on wan show to expect the black shaft to ship early November.

[sinful moat]

I actually met him back in February.

[graceful burrow]

maybe it's still early november in canada

[polar fern]

and as a customer who is on a fixed income that decided to treat himself to a very much needed tool, I feel that I am definitely allowed space to voice my opinion.

[tight marlin]

Ahhh, that dude

[polar fern]

oh yeah, that whole thing is like holy … shocking just I don’t even know what to say about it

[tight marlin]

Remember Grant Imehara

I probably butchered his name

[polar fern]

Yeah, that was also incredibly upsetting

It should be said though that with the recent and not so recent revelations about Covid and vascular damage. I cannot personally shake the thought of it actually being Covid related.

[sinful moat]

You can speculate all you like. Doesn't change the fact that heart disease was one of the biggest killers before COVID hit.

[tight marlin]

I remember seeing the power rangers with their helmets off, it looked kind of messed up but someone explained that one of the rangers specifically asked for his color so that people wouldn’t get confused

[nocturne phoenix]

Hello y'all

[polar fern]

The footage of them in action etc is actually from a different TV show & the footage of them with their helmet off was actually filmed later

[sinful moat]

Yeah. Walter was supposed to play the Blue Ranger character of Billy but instead requested to be Zach so he could more directly give a positive representation of black culture at the time.

[tight marlin]

Ahhh

Thanks, this is cool to learn

[sinful moat]

Black man, Black Ranger

Walter did not think he could properly mesh the character of Billy with the culture at that time. Zach was more of an open canvas that allowed him that freedom.

[tight marlin]

Iirc, was the blue ranger Scottish?

[sinful moat]

No. He was pale white white.

[tight marlin]

Ahhh

Like blue-eyed blonde white.

Yost is not a Scottish name I don't think

[tight marlin]

Nice

[sinful moat]

That blonde faded though. He's more dark-haired now

what gpu do you recommend for a 350-375£

[nocturne phoenix]

Hello guys, I recently upgraded my whole coputer and got this:
RTX 3080 VENTUS X3, Ryzen 7 5700x, 8x2gb ram 3200mhz, 1tb m.2 ssd 3rd gen, asus rog strix b550f, and coolermaster cl360l V2, I am very disappointed of the performance of my pc because I compared my installed games to people's benchmarks and their results are waaaaaaaay different than mine, for example I did a csgo test and the dude on youtube had a 700 avg fps and mine was 350... I tested PUBG ( the game I play most ) I had a lot of drops in frames.. even their benchmarks were different than mine.
is there anything to consider? everything is brand new except for the my gpu ( bought it used 4 months only, was used for graphic design )
my last hope is to change the thermal paste of my gpu maybe? I'm not sure, maybe there are a couple of things to change in bios? even thought the bios was updated last week ( the seller updated it for me before he sold it )

[sinful moat]

Used: you can get a 3070.
New: 3060 ti should do fine for 1440P

[nocturne phoenix]

please help I'm really sad

I'm really noob in pcs btw

[night heron]

350fps is normal

benchmark results for csgo are way higher than what youll actually get while playing

[nocturne phoenix]

but comparing to that guy he had 700

[night heron]

i get like 300-400 with an i9 10900f

[sinful moat]

That guy could also have his computer suped in a way that you don'y

[nocturne phoenix]

what do u mean by suped

[sinful moat]

High FPS is useless without a high-refresh monitor.

[nocturne phoenix]

yeah I have a 1080 144hz

[tight marlin]

Two builds made from the same parts can have different performance even without over clocking

[sinful moat]

You're only going to SEE 144 fps then. Relax

[night heron]

benchmark results are not real life results

[nocturne phoenix]

I know, I'm not mad because I'm not getting 700 fps, I'm worried because of that 350 fps diff

[sinful moat]

It. Does. Not. Matter

Period

[nocturne phoenix]

I know I know, but we did the same test, same map. same settings

[night heron]

i promise you there's nothing wrong with your pc

that's the amount of frames a 5700x is supposed to give you in cs:go

[nocturne phoenix]

I wish

[sinful moat]

If it bothers you that much then go down to #1027757333117415424

[night heron]

theres nothing wrong with his pc genuinely

[sinful moat]

But there is NOTHING wrong with your computer

[night heron]

that's the correct fps for a 5700x in csgo

[nocturne phoenix]

but how could u tell

what about pubg I get drops

[sinful moat]

Because I know that you CAN'T tell.

[nocturne phoenix]

and my fps isn't the same as yt benchmarks

[sinful moat]

And because you cannot tell, I know that there is nothing to worry about because your computer works and it is not broken.

[tight marlin]

I use beamng as a benchmark

[sinful moat]

It is FINE.

[nocturne phoenix]

no, the main reason I upgraded my pc is to play in a smooth framerate, I had a rtx 3050 and r5 3600 and I'm pretty much getting the same fps....

[night heron]

nobody's is

[sinful moat]

Odds are you have a bunch of software running in the background that the YTber is not. That could easily make the gap.

[night heron]

yeah because upgrading your gpu wont give you any more fps in csgo

youre cpu bottlenecked

[round flare]

Any one else with 1440p and 144hz

[night heron]

and r5 3600 - r7 5700x is only one cpu generation newer

[nocturne phoenix]

I have 0 sofrwares runinng, I hate filling my pc with a lot of programs

[night heron]

if you want more fps in csgo then return your r7 5700x and buy a r7 5800x3d

[nocturne phoenix]

I'm not talking about cs, cs was just a test to measure

[full fossil]

Hey guys i'm making a game that's an fps where you rule a country and an army and like soldiers are npc's and you fight other players who also play a country's ruler
Any ideas for a name

[sinful moat]

Incorrect. You have a LOT of software running in the background. Normal Windows thread count before adding on GeForce and AMD processes is around 160-175

[sinful moat]

Just another RTS.

[nocturne phoenix]

Okey, is there any program to download and then compare it to someone just to see if my pc is functioning properly?

[full fossil]

no not hoi5

[nocturne phoenix]

maybe some bios upgrades or whatever?

[tight marlin]

I sometimes check task manager and it just shows my antivirus running two instances

[sinful moat]

Passmark's Performance Test is a dirty but quick way to do so.

[nocturne phoenix]

lemme see

[sinful moat]

Will allow you to compare with similar hardware

[nocturne phoenix]

Aight

maybe changing my thermal paste will make any diff?

even a slight diff

[sinful moat]

Not likely. Get a baseline before you make any changes.

[nocturne phoenix]

whats baseline 😄

[sinful moat]

Get out.

[nocturne phoenix]

bruh

I'm learning, why you coming harsh at me

[tight marlin]

Ok, a baseline is what it’s current performance is. You compare the results of it after the change to the results before the change

[wind pulsar]

Correct, get out if you're not trying to be helpful

[sinful moat]

You can't take a joke?

[lilac sage]

Get out is a movie not a joke

[wind pulsar]

Ah yes, the classic 'It was a joke' thing

[nocturne phoenix]

I thought I was the only one 😂 it's okey he's only joking

[sinful moat]

I don't mind being helpful. I guess I just don't want to deal with super-new techies today. I'll step back.

[nocturne phoenix]

LOL

I got my pasmark test, can I send you a pic @sinful moat

can't send one here

[sinful moat]

Try using the tech support channel as I recommended.

[nocturne phoenix]

oki

[sinful moat]

Actually one of the tech chats might be better

[full fossil]

XFX SPEEDSTER SWFT309 RADEON RX 6700 Gaming Graphics Card with 10GB GDDR6 HDMI 3xDP, AMD RDNA™ 2 (RX-67XLKWFDV)

good or mid

[night heron]

good

[wind pulsar]

mid, but the good kind of way

(literally)

[full fossil]

anything better in the price range

[wind pulsar]

It's a midrange card, it's pretty good

[wind pulsar]

Aside from a 6700 XT, no

[full fossil]

k

[echo ridge]

Depends on price

But usually good

[dire hill]

can anyone send me an autoclicker

[echo ridge]

No

[night heron]

opautoclicker on source forge

[dire hill]

ok

[full fossil]

Is there a function for amazon that let's you search for "Date first available"?

[willow snow]

Does anyone happen to have a link to the 3D print model for the Screwdriver bits?
I thought someone had made one but I can't find it anywhere

[hearty spear]

they're standard quarter inch drive bits. just with a shorter shank.

[willow snow]

yeah but wouldnt a standard bit case be too big for them?

[hearty spear]

not really?

[sonic barn]

wdym

date first available can be items (impossible since sellers are different than amazon too), shipping dates, sales date, etc...

[wind pulsar]

No

They specifically said they can house standard bits, just not 12 of them

Literally was one of their main selling points that you can use their proprietary bits as well as standard bits

[peak granite]

@silk grove is a fucking DONKEY

[silk grove]

who?

[peak granite]

Shush

[silk grove]

who asked?

[peak granite]

Your mum relayed the message to me when I was going down on her last night

[full fossil]

I'm asking if Amazon has something similar to Google
advanced search functions and operators you can enter on the search bar to get more accurate results

[willow snow]

im not talking about the screwdriver, im talking about a case for the bit sets you dont have in the driver

[hearty spear]

just use a normal case.

they're just short quarter inch shank bits

[balmy flicker]

So what hoodies do you have the chance of getting

it doesn't 100% say

[fluid ridge]

damn

sam me personally i wouldnt take that level of disrespect
