[vivid cloak]

um

It's obvious.

I'm a X fan, yes I do.

Well that doesn't supposedly mean he's like the only and the best one there are other rappers

What source are you getting this info from?

What does that mean

[primal ledge]

Anyone know why when I try and cancel an order in processing on newegg it says canceled voided?

[grizzled wedge]

Hey everyone, CTO & CPO at Marqi, Chicago-based FinTech startup. Nice to meet you all! Twitter: imGiaLiu

[vivid cloak]

I really don't compare rappers on the basis of top ten or something, I like someone, I listen to him. I don't care who falls in the top 5 or the top 10.

[fluid ridge]

you guys arguing over who the best rapper is when it's clear it's eminem

[fossil dirge]

Which keyboard and mice is better Razer or Logitech?

[leaden gale]

Razer automatically forfeits because Synapse is literally a keylogger and requires sign-in

That being said, my understanding is that Logi's mice and keyboards are better received than Razer's stuff is.

I mean, the Razer Basilisk is a brazen knock-off of the Logitech G502

[fossil dirge]

Oh I see

So Razer is not recommended

[leaden gale]

Yeah, we generally avoid recommending their peripherals

I'll freely admit that their BlackShark V2 headset is pretty damn good though.

[polar fern]

I’ve yet to come across a categorically bad Logitech product.

And a mouse I thought was broken? Was fine

[lavish aurora]

Hyperx stuff randomly stops working

watch the video

this is a pretty specked out monitor but since its rog it will be at least $800

1440p, OLED, G-Sync Ultimate, 0.03ms response time, 240hz, full rgb

[polar fern]

Hmm

Man

[polar fern]

Indeed

I’d hesitate to recommend a stained glass pc case, as stained glass is not very strong.

You could literally bend it apart

Plus it would be a pain to clean

BRB

[eager notch]

Whorese

[manic torrent]

The stained glass isn't load bearing

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZN0w77cqyo

[polar fern]

Correct. Not load bearing, but you’d need to treat it with caution

[manic torrent]

As you would with any hand made custom design

It's connected with lead?

[vapid smelt]

one of the tastiest metals

[olive sand]

What's the best mouse for under $120

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vJ448d/logitech-g-pro-wireless-wireless-optical-mouse-910-005270

[olive sand]

Not to sound like too much of a dumbass, but why is that so expensive if it only has like 2 side buttons and the design looks easy to manufacture?

[fluid ridge]

less buttons = lighter

[manic torrent]

1. precision and lightness
2. R&D
3. product segmentation
4. logitech LOOOL

[fossil frost]

because it makes it light... too light to use IMO

[vapid smelt]

4*

[olive sand]

I am a bit skeptical about most carbon offset programs, but the mouse looks nice

[manic torrent]

I didn't, but I imagine someone hand made it, because that's how you make stained glass. You can also recover it from places.

indeed, but part of that is the age and shitness of the picture.

[leaden gale]

Perfect for Noctua

[manic torrent]

I made a wood case for my car, back in '99 or so

[vapid smelt]

subs

[manic torrent]

and a PC. with a palm pilot interface

[finite cloud]

Tell that to LGR

[vapid smelt]

a yes that one i7

[finite cloud]

No

Need an IBM Z

[hallow harness]

why is civ vi no longer in cpu bench on ltt?

[teal estuary]

one i7-620UE please!

so you dont need to google that, its an 18w 1st gen dual core with a boost of 2.13Ghz

[hallow harness]

too late i had to google that to see for myself lmao

[compact canopy]

while the stained glass case looks cool, that's uh, i'd be terrified to own that thing lmao

[teal estuary]

it is an i7 though

[compact canopy]

if i ever decide i don't care enough anymore about an internal optical drive in the future, i defo would be going for the fractal north case. it just looks so goddamn clean and the wood is -chef's kiss- truly aesthetique

[vivid cloak]

Nope, you will need a good wifi connect at this point specs don't even matter 🤡

[leaden gale]

Just toss your ODD into an OWC Mercury Pro, problem solved

[compact canopy]

yeah but like

that's a 100$+ CAD solution

which i am not in the game for anytime in the next year or two at the minimum lmao

[leaden gale]

I'm sorry, what

The Mercury Pro costs THAT much?

[compact canopy]

yes

[leaden gale]

It only cost me 50 bucks, wtf

[compact canopy]

it's over a hundred dollars canadian for the box

[leaden gale]

Is CAD really that shitty

[compact canopy]

i mean, it's been shit since....well tbh basically since trudeau came in around 2015 but alas, it's been especially shitty the last year or so yes. granted, it would be only around like 70-80$ if you converted it

[full fossil]

thats more than a *** external one...

[compact canopy]

the rest is the cost associated with getting units over the border

yup

it's more rn than a decent LG internal one

just for the enclosure

[teal estuary]

how often do you need a 5.25" drive?

[compact canopy]

genuinely fairly often

[teal estuary]

weird

[compact canopy]

my monitor is basically my tv

[teal estuary]

you haven't just ripped it?

[compact canopy]

and i have a lot of movies on dvds

[teal estuary]

i haven't used a 5.25 drive in years

[compact canopy]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[teal estuary]

i stand by my you haven't just ripped it?

[compact canopy]

look. my internet goes down for most of a day usually once every couple days, and forget what we're technically paying for, it's usually slowed down to like, 5mbps down on a good day

we can go a full week with down at under 1mbps in the wintertime

and that's considered normal

[vestal island]

I think it’s time to switch providers

Or update ur router

[compact canopy]

so i often don't have the luxury of internet to just go around using that to watch movies and whatnot. as it stands it's taking 5-10secs for discord to register that i've sent anything rn

there are no other providers out here unless we wanna be on literal dial-up

that's all you get where i live unless you wanna pay out the ass to get starlink set up ig

[tender glade]

Just moved to firefox

feeling snappy

[compact canopy]

our infrastructure is just trash lol. power outages happen whenever the wind blows, and i live in one of the windiest settlements in ontario lmao. i was on literal dial-up until i was 16 (i'm almost 22) because there was nothing faster

[teal estuary]

FF FTW!

[teal estuary]

ripping doesnt require internet though...

[compact canopy]

also i don't have room for a million movies on my computer, to be clear

[teal estuary]

its literally taking your disk, and copying the data off it

given that you would have a physical backup w/ the source disks, no need for redundancy w/ the disks either

[compact canopy]

besides, if i have an ODD, why would i just rip everything to an easier-to-lose form and then leave it to collect dust 🤷

[teal estuary]

because then you dont need an ODD in your computer

[compact canopy]

k but i would need the odd to get the stuff off to begin with lol, and considering i only have 512gb on what i'm using rn, it's uh...space better used for games and whatnot imo

[low rain]

Got a free windows 10 key major W

[compact canopy]

noice

[low rain]

And no I didn’t pirate

[fossil frost]

if somebody wants a ODD on their computer, then leave them to it, its their computer, not yours

[median idol]

Firefox is the way

[full fossil]

Would a i9 9900k be fine to combo with a 3090?

[teal estuary]

ODDs are just clunky devices anymore

[vapid smelt]

its only $380 for a new 20tb hdd

[compact canopy]

also there's some nostalgia games that run off disks

[fossil frost]

so? thats your opinion

[compact canopy]

"only 400$" ah yes

[full fossil]

That’s not bad

[teal estuary]

for 20TB, thats not bad

[compact canopy]

the price of a decent cpu

[full fossil]

Long time no see, you was the guy that told me to get a 2070 like 4 years ago 😭

You can also just get 8tb hard drives for 109$

[teal estuary]

you can do better, but its not horrid

[full fossil]

And you helped me put my parts together when I killed my mobo

[compact canopy]

i don't have the money rn after the purchases i made recently on a new pc to drop another 400$, assuming that'S canadian

[vapid smelt]

i dont remember this

[full fossil]

Hi coopa

[vapid smelt]

did you sell it for a profit during the great gpu shortage?

[full fossil]

No I kept it because I didn’t want to wait to get another one

But if I got a 3090 would it work with my i9 rn, it’s oc to 5.2ghz

[compact canopy]

maybe in a couple years i'll put down for a really large harddrive or two and spend days ripping over a thousand (honeslty probs closer to 2k) movies but like

i don't have the cash rn, nor the time to sink into doing that

[manic torrent]

I am old and don't care anymore. I gave away all my DVDs and blu rays

[full fossil]

I swear I’m just being ignored

[manic torrent]

I am ignoring you, can confirm

[teal estuary]

^

[full fossil]

Why?

[manic torrent]

honestly... just tabbed into discord and saw you whinging, no idea what you're on about

[full fossil]

😭

[manic torrent]

but people with the new flower thing seem to whinge a lot

[full fossil]

I was just asking if a 3090 would be compatible with my i9 9900k

[fossil frost]

yes, it would, there is no reason for it to not be

[compact canopy]

i mean, good on you ig, but i would rather not do that in my current situation personally. i'm also the guy who still has and uses the vhs i grew up with for the 200-odd movies i have on tape lol

[fossil frost]

commonly known as a "hoarder"

[full fossil]

Idk, because I was hearing it’s like 2x better than a 2070 or 3x and my 2070 is a slight bottleneck for my i9

[compact canopy]

or known as someone who wants to not....throw out a shitload of tapes into a landfill when they still work perfectly well to watch old movies on?

[fossil frost]

fuck... i wish people would fuck off with the word "bottleneck"

literally everybody who complains about "a bottleneck" in here, have absolutely fuck all idea w hat they are talking about

[compact canopy]

it's one shelving unit of vhs tapes that's held them all since i was little

[full fossil]

I wasn’t the one that said it, multiple people told me that was going to happen before I bought a 2070, they said it in this server

It was years ago tho so idk if times changed

[manic torrent]

oh, it's not for everyone, but I just have to rationalise. I don't have a huge amount of space or time, and I need to make space and time for the things that I really want.

[compact canopy]

besides i'd rather own and use them physically than fully rely on either watching the stuff on the internet illegally or finding and buying dvds of them all

[fossil frost]

bottleneck is a fancy word that people use to say "if you wanted to wave your manhood around, you should get all the hardware of the same generation, to make sure you can absolutely max it out... in a way where you would never actually max it out... but at least you can say you can"

[manic torrent]

If you upgrade your CPU from a 9900k you will get more performance with your 3090, but it will also work perfectly fine as is.

[fossil frost]

buy the 3090 if you want one... it doesnt matter... just buy iut

[compact canopy]

fair enough

[full fossil]

What would I upgrade the i9 too?

[fossil frost]

nothing... just keep it

[full fossil]

A 12900k? I heard that’s like a 3 fps difference

Ok

[fossil frost]

if you want a 3090, buy one, you dont need our permission or our validation of your choice of purchase... its compatible, that is an answer to your question... if you want it, just buy it

[manic torrent]

.... it depends entirely on what you're playing, and how many tabs of adult videos you have playing concurrently

[full fossil]

Ay man, 12 tabs is needed

[lime current]

h

[vapid smelt]

did you keep your vhs?

[manic torrent]

I never had VHS. Never owned a player.

I bought an Xbox, used it for DVDs and for sailing with xbmc

We also never had broadcast TV hooked up. Which is normal now, but was weird in 2001.

[full fossil]

Wireless advocates collapsed

Wow

Can I send links here to ask questions?

[fluid ridge]

questions are banned

refer to rule 132

[full fossil]

😭 seems like it no one every responds to me

[fluid ridge]

shit question probably

[full fossil]

It really wasn’t

[fluid ridge]

what is it

ill see if i can answer

[full fossil]

Should I get this https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3090-rtx3090-suprim-x-24g/p/N82E16814137610?item=9SIBF9VJ962161 or get a new one

[fluid ridge]

get a 4090

you dont want to be using obsolete hardware do you

[full fossil]

4090?

[full fossil]

How much is that?

[fluid ridge]

1400USD MSRP IIRC

it's a 3090 but better in every way

because you cant just "flash" a windows ISO with software like etcher or rufus

[mossy meteor]

Ya my dumass forgot about t he media creation tool

[fluid ridge]

you need the media creation tool

yeah

[mossy meteor]

Ty anyway

[fluid ridge]

i believe the tool allows you to download the raw .iso file but it's useless if you cant use other software to flash

[mossy meteor]

ya making one now!

Should i use vmware or virtualbox

[vestal island]

Are u trying to put it on a vm or downloading windows on another computer

[balmy anchor]

Hmm i saw it said there would be preshow stuff on the game awards but its not started on steam yet

[mossy meteor]

Yeah i used virtualbox before haha

But which one do u guys prefer

[vestal island]

Virtual box

[ocean narwhal]

yeah virtualbox

[full fossil]

hello there

is there somewhere a "recommendation" for external batterys? i need a powerbank for my laptop but i dont find any which has the port i need

what iam searching for is a powerbank with the lenovo proprietary SlimTip connector and about 20000mAh of charge so it can last me the entire day in the bureau

[balmy anchor]

Hmmm if your laptop is not so power hungry like for example an ultrabook you could maybe find a usb to your connector cable and use a regular 65 or 100 w powerbank with the capacity that you need

[red spindle]

honestly just get one of those car jump pack battery things with the outlets on it and tie some leather straps to it and wear it like a backpack

you can charge everything

[fluid ridge]

vmware is better than virtualbox

vmware is an industry standard

how do i put this, it's like Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve vs Vegas Pro or Filmora

both will work but one is just plain better (at a higher price of course)

[full fossil]

1,600$

[fluid ridge]

honestly if you're throwing around a cool 1500+ for only one part of your computer you probably dont care about a 200-300 dollars more/less

so i guess msrp doesnt really matter

[wraith sonnet]

Hey is the broadcast broken?

For the steam deck thing

[eager notch]

I don't know if this is a good or bad thing.

[vapid smelt]

ew your a reddit dweller i have less respect for you now

[manic torrent]

cry more

[ocean narwhal]

Embarassing kinda

[manic torrent]

that isn't true. I mean, it's not NOT true, but it's not as simple.

[ocean narwhal]

Did anyone notice that in the stadia dev kit review he tried to shit on amd for releasing cards with different rams. without actually confirming if the card is different in any way besides ram?

[sonic spruce]

I must speak to a Canadian right now

[manic torrent]

that... is certainly a take.

he said that the only thing they could find about it was an entry which had more ram.

[ocean narwhal]

Now saying he shit on it is a strong word

[manic torrent]

with the exact same name

[ocean narwhal]

However, suggesting only 8gb is 'even worse' is probably not even true since its 1080p

[sonic spruce]

What’s whole milk called in Canada?

[manic torrent]

true enough - but I think it's nit picking

[manic torrent]

in canada, milk comes in bags

[ocean narwhal]

Seems like a weird thing for him to talk about and not even open gpu-z

[compact canopy]

what do you mean by whole milk

[ocean narwhal]

full-fat

[manic torrent]

yeah but I also don't expect that technical detail from LTT. It's edutainment at best. If you want that level, gamers nexus is far better.

[compact canopy]

like, 2% milk?

[ocean narwhal]

im p sure its more than 2%

yeah

google says whole milk is about 3.5%

[manic torrent]

Milk is approximately 87 percent water and 13 percent solids. As it comes from the cow, the solids portion of milk contains approximately 3.7 percent fat and 9 percent solids-not-fat.

[ocean narwhal]

Also, it tastes yucky and bad

[manic torrent]

hot take on milk

[ocean narwhal]

Im a skimmer what can I say

[compact canopy]

oh

[manic torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEQQ13jdccc

[compact canopy]

my

[ocean narwhal]

now I also do realize skim milk is damn near milk flavored water

[vapid smelt]

bro said yucky like he is a 4 year old toddler lmao

[ocean narwhal]

Kingly though

[ocean narwhal]

Yucky!!! 🤢

[compact canopy]

god

[manic torrent]

even standard milk is milk flavoured water.

even people are people flavoured water.

[ocean narwhal]

😳

[compact canopy]

it's censoring me what the hell. ffs. k 3,25% milk in canada is called h 0 m 0 milk smh stupid bot

i hate everything

[ocean narwhal]

lol

homogenous milk?

[compact canopy]

yes but no one says that

[ocean narwhal]

homomilk is pretty epic

[vapid smelt]

[ocean narwhal]

nark

[compact canopy]

but apparently you can't type the actual name people call it on here

[ocean narwhal]

nobody shall question the all knowing communication blocker

[vapid smelt]

[glass pumice]

Man I really don’t wanna buy an Anker charger but they are literally the top company making iPhone chargers

What do I do

[compact canopy]

it's the damn name for milk you give to little kids for crying out loud

[sonic spruce]

But what is it called?

[manic torrent]

milk.

Just like what I call your mother when I see her.

[compact canopy]

Lmao

[manic torrent]

Ma'am.

[ocean narwhal]

whom'st phantom pinged me

[sonic spruce]

So it is called h0 m0 milk

[compact canopy]

yes

[sonic spruce]

Ok then

[vapid smelt]

go Aukey

[glass pumice]

Do they got super fast chargers

Cause I am using Anker cause their 20 w brick is really fast

But after 2 years of use the wire and brick don’t work as well

I’ll look at aukey though

I’m still super disappointed in Anker man

I have a ton of Anker products

Some are still returnable so I’m gonna return the ones I can

[vapid smelt]

https://www.newegg.com/p/359-0361-00004?Description=Aukey 65W

[glass pumice]

Thanks

Should be enough to give my iPhone 14 pro max the 27W it can maximize at

[vapid smelt]

why do you need more than 20?

[manic torrent]

20 is weak sauce. My chargers are generally 45W+ . Ideally 100W potentially

[glass pumice]

27W makes charging extremely fast, thats why

[vapid smelt]

i like to trickle charge with 15-10w

[glass pumice]

my iphone 14 pro max supports 27w max

[manic torrent]

I just chuck my pixel on the X on my desk mat.

[vapid smelt]

a new charger just for 7 watts more power,,,,

[manic torrent]

I would do that 🙂

[nova ingot]

Anyone watching the steam wards for the steam deck give away? How does it work? Do i have to be watching the event or will i just get an email telling me I won

wtf would you do that, wow

[nova ingot]

350mb is a texture mod pack for a player model.

[hollow pulsar]

No one is reporting on this or seems to have the info, or even cares. Likely just a marketing text they can slap on the product description to drive sales. I wouldn’t expect much in the way of the cache. Pray tell though, what need have thee of cache on the SSD?

[nova ingot]

Anyone tried 'your phone' on microsoft?

[nova ingot]

Reduces wear on the SSD for the most part. Also increases performance.

[gilded quest]

Do you have a Galaxy?

Samsung has an app called "Samsung Flow" and I really like it

[sonic spruce]

Isn’t it a good idea to have a ssd with cache than one without?

[gilded quest]

Allows you to do phone to tablet or phone to PC (phone/tablet have to be Samsung, PC just needs to run windows)

[manic torrent]

yeah it's great except that you can't change what sound device it uses and it outputs on the centre channel rather than L+R

[nova ingot]

Been using a macbook for a few months now. Just now trying the compatibility between the phones and the laptops. like being able to snap a photo and just instantly having it avaliable on the desktop

makes filling out forms a lot easier.

Like I'm filing a repair request, and didnt realize i had to snap a photo. Normally id do it on my phone if i anticipated that i had to add a picture.

[manic torrent]

I mean, google photo sync doesn't take long, and you can also click through and click the cloud icon to sync it immediately

it's not rocket surgery

[shadow hazel]

I'm asking chatgpt to build websites and it just... does

[nova ingot]

Still. Passing a file through the cloud to get it into your device.

[manic torrent]

I mean I sync them all there regardless, so it's not a big deal. this is not a new concept.

[nova ingot]

I guess thats why humanity passes their teleportation through xen instead of direct tunneling. No wonder the Combine cant figure it out.

[manic torrent]

exactly.

also: that's how a lot of shit works, because integration is hard.

[nova ingot]

Its still a workaround, but still better and faster than pulling out a DSLR and doing a transfer, or worse. Using a scanner.

[manic torrent]

everything is a "workaround"

sell em for $350 or $300 (aud), sell 3070 for $600, That way my budget is nice and padded and I can get a 3090 or a new AMD card or whatever

So I know by default docker containers don’t have their ports exposed to the outside world, but can they reach the outside world? Ie can a malicious docker container start scanning my LAN without me giving it some sort of outbound networking permission?

[manic torrent]

the standard configuration has them NATed so they can use the network, but it's trivial to change

the reality is that it's all arbitrary and you can do anything. A docker container doesn't even need a network at all.

[vapid smelt]

lmao its mostly due to cost

[manic torrent]

yes, cost vs utility

also, the US is a fucking giant flat plane of mostly arable land

we have rocks and hills and shit

[vapid smelt]

here in utah even houses on the mountains have basements

granted those are the rich people homes

Tbh I thought Utah would be like Arizona. Basements basically didn't exist in Phoenix

[neon mesa]

Basements aren't a thing in most parts of the world houses

[gilded quest]

We all had attics tho

Endless flat land. Much cheaper to build out than up/down

[tepid bolt]

Is it more expensive to build up or to build down

[neon mesa]

Down

Building down is like building up
With the addition of digging down

[gilded quest]

Yeah. Especially if the ground is baked to a crisp

[vapid smelt]

we have so many basements i know of a few houses with sub basements too

[neon mesa]

Basements is a good way to hide all the bod- bottled thermal paste

Okay in essence I have a 5600x let me check your graph

[vapid smelt]

[ocean pawn]

Is it worthy to upgrading it from 5600x to 5800x3d

[nova ingot]

I got a 5900x instead of a 5800x3D only because the 5800x3D is sold out

[manic torrent]

If your PC works fine and it isn't an issue for you, don't bother upgrading.

[nova ingot]

i considered returning it, but 5800x3D is now $330 or something

[manic torrent]

5700X =~ 5800X. The stock setup is a few % lower, but with boost on, it's the same shit

mine boosts to .. 4.85ghz? I think

never put more than half it's load anyway (2200G + 6600XT)

the 2200G especially at only 11W max load

I have 9 120mm fans

[heady flicker]

mine's definitely the stock thermaltake case fan

I haven't bothered to replace it yet

[idle skiff]

I dont need to run my case fans like crazy bc my room is a consistent 30°F so I can keep them to where they're effective and basically silent

But the PSU is always the loudest fan in the system by far

Why is 3090ti getting half the fps after the 4090 launched

planned obsolescence

nvidia throttles old card = you buy new card

[primal cairn]

3090ti was marketed as "The best GPU" "You can throw anything at it with no noticeable difference in performance"

[fluid ridge]

well yeah the 1080ti was marketed as the best gpu at one point

[vapid smelt]

if that was true people would just use the older driver versions

[primal cairn]

Then it's getting 30 to 40 fps from the same game it was tasted on

[fluid ridge]

technology advances my brotha

[fluid ridge]

people too dumb to do that

no, nvidia actually partners with microsoft, linus torvalds and tom apple to secretly modify all driver files in existence to the new version

What can you do with a HDDs parts. My 1TB WD blue made some awful noises last night and decided a real fast SSD transplant was needed. The HDD is right now an actual paper weight so it has a second lease on life briefly. it was really hot to the touch and clicking aggressively loud.

Those games don’t need updates tho

And they were made for a time when hdds where the norm

So imma just rule of thumb this

If game doesn’t get updates

Hdd

[full fossil]

depends on the game

[sonic spruce]

If it’s fast load times on hdd, hdd

[sonic spruce]

Star Wars battlefront 2 (2005)

[full fossil]

i mean sure but im saying it depends on the game

skyrim will load faster on a ssd period

[sonic spruce]

I mean in general

[full fossil]

in general. it depends on the game.

[sonic spruce]

Ffs

In general I’m talking about

[full fossil]

in general. it depends on the game.

[sonic spruce]

I know it depends on the game ffs

I’m talking about old ass games that will take 10 seconds to load off a hdd

[graceful burrow]

Will still load faster off an ssd

[full fossil]

ok. and im talking about in general

like you said

[sonic spruce]

So these 3 games

Star Wars battle front 2 (2005)

Sonic cd
Yu gi oh duel links

[full fossil]

im gonna have to block you red otherwise ill get banned, good luck in life 👋🏾

[sonic spruce]

Why?

[sonic spruce]

I know that but what’s the difference between a load time of 3 seconds and 5 seconds?

2 seconds I won’t even notice

[graceful burrow]

2 seconds is 2 seconds

You can't just dismiss it because you're ability to tell time without a clock isn't up to par

[sonic spruce]

How much storage is it?

Let me find out

[full fossil]

jesus christ dude this one time i was troubleshooting a weapon system to shoot down missiles and the idiots on the other side were like "its not within the 3 seconds window" and it was like 2.9 seconds

bruh the nuke will HIT YOU

[graceful burrow]

What are you even talking about

[full fossil]

weapon systems shooting down incoming threats

[graceful burrow]

Funk

[sonic spruce]

5 GBs of storage + 50 mbs of storage + 4.3 GBs of storage

That’s like 10 GBs on my ssd….

[graceful burrow]

What does that have to do with loading times

[full fossil]

a lot technically

[sonic spruce]

I’m putting all my games on my ssd ig?

[full fossil]

the defense system has to load up and do the thing

[sonic spruce]

So anyways

How do I choose if the shit I download goes into a ssd or hdd?

[full fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/rick-and-morty-my-purpose-robot-butter-omg-gif-5234754

[sonic spruce]

Cuz I want to put photos and movie and other stuff into hdd on my pc instead of my ssd

[graceful burrow]

So then do it

[sonic spruce]

How?

How do I set up a ssd and hdd?

Do I partition it or something?

[graceful burrow]

Why would you partition when you can just make folders

[sonic spruce]

I don’t know what partition is

Or how to choose if something goes on hdd or ssd

[graceful burrow]

Stuff you want to load fast? Ssd
Stuff you don't care about loading fast? Hdd

[sonic spruce]

How do I make them go onto the hdd or ssd?

[graceful burrow]

Depends on what you're downloading from

[sonic spruce]

Say I want to save something from photoshop onto my hdd, or a song or some shit, how do I do that?

[graceful burrow]

Nearly every program had an install path in the installer

[simple quail]

there's likely a setting in the browser to let you choose the location where the file is saved

[graceful burrow]

You just choose the folder on the drive you wanna save the file to like any other

[sonic spruce]

This is so confusing

[graceful burrow]

It really isn't

[simple quail]

on Windows, the HDD and SSD are usually shown as separate drives (C: D: E: etc.)

[sonic spruce]

I’ll try to figure it out

When I format my pc and reinstall windows do I need to put in the windows key I have now?

Or I have to put in a new one?

[simple quail]

you can either put the same key, or proceed without it, as it probably will pick up the key from your previous installation (or your firmware, depends)

[sonic spruce]

Uhhhhh

I’m gonna format it to put windows 10/11 on ssd

Cuz it’s on hdd rn

Is isolpropal alcohol good for removing thermal paste?

I’m gonna upgrade cpu

no the msi one is the worst by a lot

oh

can you show results? first time i hear this

now im interessted in the difference between brands

[slate flame]

all the msi navi 21 (6800+) coolers are horrible as they are direct heatpipe and dont have a coldplate

this causes some areas to recieve very little or no cooling

while the "gpu temp" is good your hotspot will be sitting >110C

i have a 6900xt gaming z trio (xtxh, basically a 6950xt with slightly slower ram) and i thermal throttle at stock lol i run 100% fan speed, waiting for the morpheus 8069 to come out

3 more days until d-day.

[slate flame]

half a kg of aluminum heatsink for ~$120 aud > 360mm custom loop for ~$500

[dire roost]

ive seen one

[chilly schooner]

Surely you can build a loop for less than $500.

I'd gather you could do one for $200-$250.

[dire roost]

at least

or go aio, sell ur old card for a watercooled one

[wanton glade]

^^

why would you watercool your gpu tho, it's fine

[indigo plume]

Any android recommendations looking to upgrade from a52

[chilly schooner]

I like my Pixel.

Cheap too.

[dire roost]

i have a70, cheap too

its pretty average but aight

[chilly schooner]

Anyone use customs screws for their motherboard?

And by custom I mean, different variety from the standard ones.

[indigo plume]

I thought the pixel was expensive

[chilly schooner]

I got my Pixel 6 for $450.

[indigo plume]

Like the s series samsung

[nova ingot]

Selection was better in the past.

[dire roost]

nah i just use black ones from my screw collection

[chilly schooner]

Idk what they're at now.

[dire roost]

@indigo plume get the a70

only downside on that imo is that its fucken huge it took me like 2 weeks to get used to it

and i have pretty big hands too so your mileage may vary

[chilly schooner]

A70 is indeed huge, family has it.

[indigo plume]

I already have A 52 which pretty similar

[dire roost]

true

[indigo plume]

I wish it had wireless charging

[dire roost]

yea its pretty wack

but i have mine limited to 70% cpu speed and w that i only charge it at like ~22:30

[indigo plume]

higher end phones charge faster as well pretty sure

[dire roost]

so w that not having wireless is pretty fine

[dire roost]

a70 comes with super fast charger

0-100 in an hr? i think

[indigo plume]

The new s series have fast charging 2.0

[dire roost]

sum like that at least

[chilly schooner]

Yeah charging rates on new phones is euphoric.

[dire roost]

yea but does it come with the charger?

[chilly schooner]

Lol good point.

[dire roost]

imo id rather have one included then spend 30 or more on a seperate charger

[indigo plume]

How many watts are standard fast chargers

Think new ones are 45w

[dire roost]

idk lemme see

[chilly schooner]

22W for old pixel, new one is 30W.

[dire roost]

super fast is 25

^samsungs

[chilly schooner]

Don't really need the new 30W either, it's marginally faster than the 22W.

[indigo plume]

45w is only available on s22 I think

[chilly schooner]

That's because the chargers modulate their wattage as the battery fills to increase battery life health.

[slate flame]

no idea what wattage my s21 ultra is but it charges pretty fast

[dire roost]

45W comp: S22, S22+, S22 Ultra, Fold3, Galaxy Flip3, A53, A32, Galaxy Buds2, Buds Live, Buds PRO, Tab S8, S8+, Galaxy Book2, All Galaxy Smart Phones (above S8), Galaxy Fold and Z Flip, Fold2, Z Flip2, Z Fold3, Z Flip3, Galaxy S8, S8+, S9, S9+, S10e, S10, S10+, S10 5G, S20 5G, S20+ 5G, S20 Ultra 5G, S21 5G, S21+ 5G, and S21 Ultra 5G. Galaxy Note8, Note9, Note10, Note10+, Note10+ 5G, Note 20 5G, and Note20 Ultra 5G. Galaxy A10e, A20, A50, A02, A12, A32 5G, A42 5G, and A52 5G

[indigo plume]

Phones have gotten to expensive

Feels like I'm giving up an organ every time I buy a new phone

[chilly schooner]

Yep.

[dire roost]

i got my a70 for 150 secondhand

[chilly schooner]

That's why I went with the pixel, plus the new "features" are hardly worth it.

[dire roost]

crazy deal ngl

[dire roost]

i love on screen finger print and high hz screens but other than that last 2 years were useless in terms of innovation

apple users would disagree tho lol

[wispy marsh]

I guess. They're catering to more things now

[chilly schooner]

Yup, the high hertz is a nice addition. Really smooths things out.

[dire roost]

i remember booting up subway surfers for the first time, that was nuts

[chilly schooner]

I had my Pixel 3 XL since release up until 6 months ago when I bought the Pixel 6.

If the bluetooth and wifi module didn't stop working I'd still be using the Pixel 3 XL.

[indigo plume]

Also camera quality doesn't matter to me

[chilly schooner]

I loved the hardwired fingerprint sensor on the back.

You could even swipe down settings with the fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 3 XL, truly a remarkable feature. Wish they didn't get rid of it.

[dire roost]

oh yea i had that on my huawei mate 20 too

what i do hate about certain samsung generations is the bixby implementation

[chilly schooner]

I'm not a fan of Bixby either/

[dire roost]

same

i remember the first time i tried to turn off my phone and it said "configure bixby"

painful experience

there's a setting to change it but they dont tell you they just tell you "trying to turn off your phone? hold the side button and the volume down button"

[indigo plume]

I just use Google assistant instead

[fossil frost]

decent price, depends what you are upgrading from though

[hoary quartz]

have a 6800xt but can still return it. Originally i had a 1080ti @fossil frost

[chilly schooner]

D-day in 3days, XTX baby.

Pumped for that card.

[chilly schooner]

Why not save a little more and grab the new 7k series?

[fossil frost]

i wouldnt bother then, unless you have a genuine use case for upgrading. and if you do have a genuine use case for upgrading... then you would be better served by a 7000 series

[dull violet]

Android kit kat is best os

[cursive slate]

why didnt they link the discord server to their youtube?

[chilly schooner]

https://www.asrock.com/Graphics-Card/AMD/Radeon RX 7900 XTX Aqua 24GB OC/

This card is sick.

[full fossil]

Can’t wait to see the 7000s launch Nvidia gonna be freakin out

[chilly schooner]

It'll be glorious.

[full fossil]

Yeah I use Nvidia but I’m thinking about upgrading from my Alienware prebuilt 💀

in the near future like not very soon

[chilly schooner]

I've been team green for over a decade, I think it's time for team red.

[full fossil]

yeah especially cuz I’m getting into Linux as well, once I scrap my prebuilt in a couple years imma grab two separate drives to dual boot and get like the most performance with one of the 7900 cards

[rancid raptor]

Hi all, who works where?

[slate flame]

i dont have a job

[full fossil]

im unemployed

[rancid raptor]

Hmm, why?

[full fossil]

mr willy wonka

from the dollar store

[slate flame]

because im 14 years and 2 months old and i cant get a job yet?

[chilly schooner]

I make machines.

[slate flame]

need to be 14 and 9 months or something like that in australia

[rancid raptor]

The funny thing is, you can

[slate flame]

even still i dont need one

[rancid raptor]

Not really a job, but there is freelancing

[wanton glade]

just don"t buy a new phone bru

[rancid raptor]

It is better to start developing before it is too late

[slate flame]

k

[full fossil]

wdym, freelancing at 14? I thought not many people need young devs without a degree or qualifications

[rancid raptor]

Besides, you can find out in advance what you want from life, so that you don't have to look for anything afterwards in a panic.

there are many freelancers. qualifications do not work almost anywhere

[full fossil]

well for a job you need a degree, I guess you don’t for freelance

[rancid raptor]

But everything changes when you have something to brag about. examples of work, a lot, reviews, work experience. you can quite earn on this the main thing to come up with how.

[full fossil]

ah ok

[sonic barn]

Just say you can code anything and use open ai

[sonic barn]

Don't need a degree for a job unless they want one

There's also certifications

[rancid raptor]

I have an acquaintance who built his first PC on a dumpster and eventually learned to program, now he knows 12 programming languages... crazy guy

[wanton glade]

there's also skill (design jobs amirite)

[wanton glade]

damn sick

[full fossil]

god dayum

What sorta languages are useful nowadays

Python, java, js?

[sonic barn]

Is that including html js and css?

[rancid raptor]

by the way, that guy wanted to run away from his drunk father, and he succeeded.

[fossil frost]

knowing 12 programming languages isnt particularly impressive... if you just learn a programming language... it doesnt mean you know how to be a programmer... if you learn how to be a programmer... you should be able to pick up any programming language with relative ease... Personally i could write C, C++, PHP, C#, Python, Javascript, Java, Objective-C, Rust, ASM, and depending on your definition of programming language... CSS, HTML

[chilly schooner]

Can't go wrong with python, and javascript.

Depends also on what type of development you want to do.

[sonic barn]

Compile html to byte code

[fossil frost]

http 3.0 is exactly that

[full fossil]

I just wanna work on personal projects and maybe to get qualified for some school courses

I have pycharm atm

[rancid raptor]

I don't remember what languages he studied, but as a fact, he is now making good money. the funny thing is, he does it with the help of a Minecraft server

[fossil frost]

come to think of it... ReactNative is exactly that too

[chilly schooner]

React is becoming rather popular

[fossil frost]

React isnt a programming language. its a platform/library that uses several existing programming languages

[chilly schooner]

Ye

[sonic barn]

I know C++, java, JavaScript, SQL, bit of kotlin

And html and css

[chilly schooner]

Been meaning to learn js, but haven't found the time.

[fossil frost]

SQL, forgot about SQL... i always forget about SQL 😄

[wanton glade]

can you make a mod that can get me a girlfriend ? 🤓

[sonic barn]

Also if you include bash and PowerShell

[sonic barn]

I guess you're a bit no SQL

[rancid raptor]

But still, are there anyone here who has a job and can talk about it?

[fossil frost]

yes, me... but... im about to go to the xmas party for that job... so wont be able to talk about it until tomorrow 😄

[wanton glade]

tbh, learning different programming ain't difficult, it's just translation from one to another, (not all of them, but stuff like C,C++,C#,python,java,whatnot)

[full fossil]

bruh Automod 💀

[sonic barn]

I mean I have an algorithm bot for ibkr

[rancid raptor]

ha ha, okay)

[sonic barn]

Trades once a day in mutual funds

Mainly vanguard

[rancid raptor]

Do you make money with a bot? Or did you make a bot for Discord yourself?

[sonic barn]

It's a broker so ofc

[fossil frost]

learning programming isnt the same as learning a programming language... learning programming is about learning how to follow logic, how to do research, how to apply similar solutions to different problems, how to break down problems, how to create new solutions that fit existing problems better than the existing solutions, and many many more things.... a programming language is just a tool you use to complete those tasks

[scarlet needle]

is there a way to upgrade your bios without having the old cpu?

[sonic barn]

I only made 20% so far

So like 4000$ since I'm broke

But I'm in college

[wanton glade]

me neither, good thing I don't need it motherfuckaaa
