[slate tulip]

and we aren't losing at all

AMD just has some rabid fanboys, lol

[wind pulsar]

'we'?

[sonic barn]

fanboys

[gilded quest]

don't mobile chips use Iris XE graphics? Don't those use the same base cores as ARC?

[steep void]

🇭 🇺 🇭

[wind pulsar]

You're not about start one of these stupid fanwars, right?

[manic torrent]

1. yes, 2) no

[slate tulip]

"we", meaning, Intel

[steep void]

What are we talking about bruh

[wind pulsar]

Do you work at Intel?

[slate tulip]

since I am an Intel employee, it's just kind of natural

[wind pulsar]

Errr.. cool

[slate tulip]

I mean, it clearly says so in my bio, lol

[gilded quest]

i don't click on & study everyone's discord profiles

[sonic barn]

I hope you're selling your shares

[steep void]

Yeah tbh ain't nobody got time fo dat

[wind pulsar]

I mean, people doubted me being a woman, so I have enough excuse to doubt that anyone here does anything meaningful at any major tech company

[gilded quest]

wtf is this

[steep void]

Meaningful text

[slate tulip]

Why? Arc will do great

[gilded quest]

is it a secret code or something

[sonic barn]

your ceo is stupid

[slate tulip]

And our CPUs are competitive or better than same-gen AMD.

[sonic barn]

he opened too much fabs and now the company is 1/3 debt and can't be paid

valuation went from 300+ billion to 100billion

[fossil frost]

CEO is an engineer who worked on several of the products that billions of people use today

[sonic barn]

mobileye ipo failed

[steep void]

I found it in sun tzus book the art of discord

[gilded quest]

you sound like a Balmer stan tbh

[sonic barn]

gets paid 173 million and screws the company

[wind pulsar]

Except when they pull three times the wattage since you can keep almost the same performance on 7000 series eco mode and pull 65 or 105w depending on the CPU

[sonic barn]

anyways I shorted intel when it was 40$

[wind pulsar]

Err, cool

[fossil frost]

and?

[sonic barn]

they are doing this to themselves each quarterly report is worser than the last

[fossil frost]

its intel... its not like intel wont bounce back.. .and... a lot of companies have a large percentage of their books as debt

[gilded quest]

so you're financially incentivized to make others think intel is gonna fail?

[sonic barn]

nvidia and amd as well as ON can pay off their debt right away and still retain massive free cash flow

intel cannot

[sonic barn]

I don't hold a position in anything anymore

[fossil frost]

no they cant, they just do their books in a different way... if any of them had their debt called in tomorrow. they wouldnt exist the day after

[sonic barn]

that was back during the early fall

[gilded quest]

intels massive fab expansions is certainly a bet for the long term

[sonic barn]

each are 10 bill around to make and they got a ton across a bunch of countries

[fossil frost]

its almost like people are building more data centres, and more people are buying more devices with cpus in them

[sonic barn]

they rely on tsmc for the majority and pat said they will continue

[gilded quest]

cause every region wants to have a domestic fab

[molten drift]

Navy I just ordered the switch

Fingers crossed it just works. And isn't dead like the last one.

[slate tulip]

Why a switch instead of a SteamDeck?

[manic torrent]

why use anything

[sonic barn]

I use a rock

[slate tulip]

@gilded quest you seem cool. Wanna grab a drink sometime?

[manic torrent]

just get your abacus out

[slate tulip]

harder to emulate on an abacus though 😛

[manic torrent]

is that code for the old in out in out?

[slate tulip]

Nope. But there's a lot of good places to grab a drink around here and make a new friend :)

[manic torrent]

I can't have new friends anymore

[slate tulip]

That's sad

friends are the best

[manic torrent]

I mean I can, I just don't go anywhere on account of the pandemic, and my immunocompromised son

[slate tulip]

I'd be friends with @molten drift , but they just got a switch instead of a SteamDeck

[wind pulsar]

..

[wind pulsar]

NO THEY DIDN'T

[molten drift]

I didn't

[wind pulsar]

MY BRAIN

[slate tulip]

I know, I agree. It's definitely sad that it utilizes AMD instead of Intel

[molten drift]

I got an HDMI switch

[slate tulip]

Oooh, okay. Much better

we can be friends now

[magic crown]

much lighter, doesn't require any knowledge and is ready to use out of the box

[molten drift]

Isn't that my decision to make

[manic torrent]

I need to buy a two monitor hdmi switch with rs232.

[slate tulip]

eh, can't argue with that

[slate tulip]

only half of it! 😛

[molten drift]

Well I decide no

[slate tulip]

eh, what can you do. Probably too far away to grab a beer anyway

[molten drift]

If I want someone as my friend I'll ask if they would like to be

I don't drink

[wind pulsar]

Why compare a damn Switch with a Steam Deck in the first place

[sonic barn]

you should try water, I am addicted to water

[magic crown]

exactly

[manic torrent]

I just try to be nice to people. I mean. Not everyone. And not all the time.

[slate tulip]

try water

[sonic barn]

if I don't drink water, I die

[slate tulip]

100% of people who have drank water have died - be careful

[wind pulsar]

You can live without doing the act of drinking, easily

[sonic barn]

vampire?

[wind pulsar]

Just eat things with a high water content

[sonic barn]

hmmmm

[wind pulsar]

e.g most fruits

[sonic barn]

water melon

[slate tulip]

at work we have those fountain drink machines where you can mix and match, it's pretty cool

I just finished a vanilla strawberry mountain dew 😋

sadly, no watermelon flavour, just vanilla, cherry, lemon, and strawberry

and they have like, unflavoured tea, mountain dew, pepsi, ginger ale, mug rootbeer (sad), and sierra mist

[manic torrent]

at work I have a coffee machine and soon I'll have a fridge!

[wind pulsar]

'unflavoured tea'
A lot of people call that water

[neon mesa]

Colored water

[slate tulip]

err... unsweetened tea

lol

[neon mesa]

Unflavored and unsweetened definitely means different

[slate tulip]

yes

[sonic barn]

the only tea I like is earl grey tea

[slate tulip]

sorry, I'm multitasking here, sometimes my fingers say things my brain doesn't mean

[manic torrent]

hot?

[neon mesa]

Tea is tea

[sonic barn]

yeah but really don't mind if its cold a bit

[manic torrent]

whooosh

[neon mesa]

Room temperature tea is bad

It has to be either really cold or decently warm

[slate tulip]

Bleh. Linux GUIs are dumb

[gilded quest]

I'm making some tea right now

[manic torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-the-next-generation-the-greatest-generation-friends-of-desoto-tgg-gif-22560899

[slate tulip]

everything works fine until you try to introduce a GUI to linux

[manic torrent]

GUI is fine, but ... for embedded type stuff. desktop GUI is the issue.

[slate tulip]

no way. This server works fine. I have ansible scripts and a template that work fine

but it all breaks as soon as I introduce a GUI to the mix

[manic torrent]

Well then, it would seem that your scripts are not robust 🙂

[slate tulip]

nah, they work 100% fine. Who uses a GUI on a server?

clearly the GUI is the oddball out

[gilded quest]

2023 is clearly the year of Linux on the desktop

[slate tulip]

If I have 1000 server instances, and only one runs a GUI, and it's the one with the issues...

[hearty spear]

Depends on what the server does

[manic torrent]

I don't generally disagree - although I have had to for bullshit reasons. Licensing some products comes to mind

[fossil frost]

ffs

[slate tulip]

awww, I thought it was funny

and i got the reference

[fossil frost]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-groundskeeper-willie-groundskeeper-willy-drunk-tractor-gif-20354102 Brothers and sisters are natural enemies! Like Windows and Linux Users! Or MacOS and Linux Users! Or BSD and Linux Users! Or Linux Users and other Linux Users! Damn Linux Users! They ruined Linux!

fuck it, thats what you are getting now

[slate tulip]

ah, much better

[sonic barn]

qt is cross platform, there's also other frameworks which can be supported

[slate tulip]

it's good enough,lol

[manic torrent]

My home server I use for audio/video management and routing, so it has a gui with touchscreen and a physical midi control surface

[sonic barn]

qt is better in linux than windows

[slate tulip]

personally, if we could have just used Remote Desktop Services in Windows, this would have been done days ago

[manic torrent]

(as well as servery stuff like home assistant and frigate and whatever)

[sonic barn]

also xorg synaptics beats any mouse driver out there

[slate tulip]

but they want a GUI in linux with remote desktop for multiple users

[gilded quest]

https://clearlinux.org/
I forgot Intel had a distro

[slate tulip]

Yeah! I chatted a bit with the guy in charge of that, he's an Intel fellow. Nice guy

[manic torrent]

using what transport though?

[slate tulip]

tried to see if we wanted to do some drink our own champagne in the DC I'm responsible for, but they didn't want to go that route

[slate tulip]

RDP preferably

[fossil frost]

everyone else knows it as "eating your own dogfood"

[sonic barn]

meanwhile amd technically works closely on linux since they got an officially not broken driver for the kernel

[manic torrent]

rdp in linux?

[slate tulip]

Yeah, but that term sucks, 'cause who likes dogfood? A neat canonical employee I was chatting with said they preferred the term "Drinking your own Champagne", so I stole it (with permission)

[fossil frost]

champagne tastes worse than dogfood

[manic torrent]

I had an X11 program that users needed to use, so they log in to citrix and run it using Xming

[slate tulip]

Yup. Trying to get xRDP to work so users can just use the existing mstsc client rather than have to get a VNC client

[sonic barn]

also amd partakes in more open source stuff like vulkan

[slate tulip]

I mean, Intel is one of the largest corporate contributors to Open Source in general, and the Linux Kernel specifically

[manic torrent]

could have just rolled out amazon workspaces linux 😉

[fossil frost]

was gonna say... doesnt intel specifically hire staff to JUST work on linux, like, thats their only job, write code in linux

[sonic barn]

every company does

[slate tulip]

Yup. I've walked by their cubicles

[slate tulip]

Idk anything about it, sounds like a lot of work for our needs

[manic torrent]

less work. more money,

[slate tulip]

dammit, can't paste images

[cursive solar]

can someone help me in the tech support channel

[slate tulip]

https://news.itsfoss.com/huawei-kernel-contribution
(Intel in the top 2)
https://thenewstack.io/contributes-linux-kernel/
Intel #1
https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/blog/the-top-10-developers-and-companies-contributing-to-the-linux-kernel-in-2015-2016
Intel #1

To cite a few sources

[sonic barn]

kernel is 6.0

https://www.linaro.org/blog/linaro-in-top-five-for-most-active-contributors-to-the-6-0-linux-kernel-release/

[slate tulip]

Intel is still #1 in that list for "By changesets" and #2 "by lines changed"

[sonic barn]

yeah but it depends mainly on what was worked on, technically they could overwrite eachother's commits if they are broken

[manic torrent]

yeah ok whatever - it doesn't really matter

[slate tulip]

Sure, but I doubt that level of pedantry is required merely to provide proof for my claim of "intel contributes a lot to Open Source"

[sonic barn]

every company does

[manic torrent]

I'm pretty sure most companies contribute close to zero to open source

[sonic barn]

well any that use git

[slate tulip]

my claim was "intel is one of the largest contributors" - whether they are #1, #2, or #3, and for the kernel from 2016 or 2022, it's still proof for the claim that they are "one of the largest"

[sonic barn]

they technically contribute to open source unless they aren't using git

[slate tulip]

Not at all. You can use private git repos, you can have private github, you can run a private git server, or you can just use git and not commit the repositories anywhere

[sonic barn]

well I meant the public ones

there's some stuff like electron which discord uses although their own code is closed source

[slate tulip]

@fossil frost how are you things going for you today?

just a few hours left at work for me

[fossil frost]

went slowly today at work, chasing and debugging an issue that ended up being a cloudops issue that wasnt actually a bug... despite cloudops lying to me and saying they had deployed what they were supposed to do

[slate tulip]

Oh, wonderful, I hate that

[manic torrent]

yeah, I always check that first.

[slate tulip]

I spent 2 weekend planning a transition of our management portal from an old IP and hostname to a new one. New DNS entries, new public IP, network team had to make firewall changes, it was a whole thing. My plan went flawlessly... But the IT team assured us that their proxy servers weren't going to be an issue when my boss explicitly asked them about it for the changeover.... were an issue

[fossil frost]

i did, and they were 100% certain they had upgraded all the servers... turns out... they were 100% morons

[manic torrent]

but I also encourage and actively ask other people to check my shit if I'm coming to them for help, just to be sure for sanity

[manic torrent]

oh no, I mean, CHECK. like... SHOW ME.

tbh, if you can't see it on a dashboard, it's your fault

[slate tulip]

in some cases, you can't. Like here, we can't just "check" on the proxy configs. Everything is so siloed it might as well be on a different planet

[manic torrent]

yeah but you can often get them to screenshare to verify

[slate tulip]

you open up a ticket, get transferred 20 times, before you talk to someone from the right team in to reply to you in a ticketing system

[manic torrent]

haha, oh man I remember when I worked at telstra, a big telco, I would have 2+ hour long meetings and talk for 30 seconds.

[slate tulip]

oh, we are so large, and so siloed, it's a nightmare if you have to work with anyone else

there's some great things about Intel - this is not one of them

[manic torrent]

I impresssed a banking client when we were workshopping how they wanted their SSO to work, and I was changing the code live (on the client test system) and they could see the changes they were asking for.

... then it went live and the whole thing exploded horribly, because the SSO JIT provisioning was calling the original code to create/modify users which wasn't written with any performance or blocking issues in mind, but had a lot of security checks.

hashing their SSO assertions was the answer to that one. compare, and if it's the same, just go on through.

[grizzled briar]

Hello

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[grizzled briar]

Going to be honest I know 1% about pc I just enjoy linus XD

[manic torrent]

you'll fit in well with some of our regulars here then

[graceful burrow]

As funny as it is, God it's true

[grizzled briar]

Going to be honest i bought a shitty first pc and I am looking for a good gaming pc for someone who knows 0 about pc specs or anything along that line

[graceful burrow]

#build-a-pc

If guiltyspark, shanic, or Chrysolite tell you something take their word for it, they're experienced

[grizzled briar]

0-0

I totally didn't see that link

[stoic beacon]

Gonna throw Mi3n and Rauko in that list as well

[graceful burrow]

True

Rauko doesn't visit bapc often

[manic torrent]

If I talk, it's either critical sage advice, or total garbage, and it's hard to know which. Sometimes it's both.

[slate tulip]

gah, google is annoying. There is a command to disable x-fowarding in the ssh client, and all the google results are how to do it in the config

I bet ChatGPT would be faster

[wind pulsar]

I am hurt

But it's true, I don't know jackshit

[manic torrent]

just set it in the config file as a default

[slate tulip]

except that I don't want to

[manic torrent]

haha

[slate tulip]

thus my annoyance

I want to disable x-forwarding for one host only, not all of them

[manic torrent]

it's ok, scp had a regression where if it was in quiet mode, you got zero output - but you used to get the responses to your commands. I was using this for automation.

So there's now an additional parameter in scp, because of my automated file transfer application 🙂

[manic torrent]

yeah, you can do per host config

[slate tulip]

I know, but I don't want to permanently add a section for the host to my config

I just want to temporarily disable it

and google is like "fuck you"

[static bough]

is a aspire 3 laptop good for 300

it gets around 30 frames on uh gta low settings

I saw

[gilded quest]

This is meaningless

[manic torrent]

-o means you can use any config item on the command line

[static bough]

i3 uhd graphics 600

[gilded quest]

There are a million different Acer Aspire 3 versions

[static bough]

I’ll get the i3 gen brb

Intel® Core™ i3-1005G1 Processor

[gilded quest]

Is this in the US?

[static bough]

I heard it’s pretty good for it’s price

pretty sure

[gilded quest]

Are you in the US

[static bough]

I don’t know

:/

[gilded quest]

You don't know what country you're from?

[static bough]

England

[gilded quest]

Hmm

[static bough]

but idk where I am right now

am I allowed to send a link to the laptop?

[gilded quest]

I'm trying to gauge if this is a good price for your region or not

[full fossil]

Are you a schizo?

[sonic spruce]

I have mega big problem with my gpu, I posted it a while ago in tech support

[static bough]

I haven’t found any better ones at the same price all are like Intel ceelerin

celeron

[static bough]

idk

the laptop is Intel® Core™ i3-1005G1 Processor 8 gb others I find at the same price are 4gb and trash cpu

[gilded quest]

I feel like you can get newer for not much more; but it's not an awful price

[static bough]

this is my best find

[gilded quest]

It's extremely meh

[slate tulip]

yeah, I guessed there was some -o command

just venting my frustration about google not wanting to tell me and make it easy

[static bough]

I want to play csgo low settings at more than 60 fps for a budget of about 300 as I am furnishing a house currently

playing csgo on my Xbox 360 at about 20 fps is starting to get frustrating

[full fossil]

Your pc cant play csgo above 60fps?

[gilded quest]

Uhhh

[static bough]

I don’t have a pc

I’m furnishing my house

I’ve barely even got flooring down ☠️

[gilded quest]

21 fps UHD 600

But on a celery

[gilded quest]

i3 will probably be a bit better

[static bough]

yes

it’ll do I suppose but I’ll go and find a video demonstrating with an i3 I saw a few earlier

[sonic barn]

the uhd on the i7 7600u was good

[static bough]

https://youtu.be/gK6eLj5e9FQ

not sure if this is with uhd600

[gilded quest]

Good isn't the word I would use

[static bough]

but average 70 fps

[gilded quest]

It's usable

[sonic spruce]

So when I use my gtx 960 in my pc. The boot screen to show bios shows up. Then it goes black while showing a command prompt like screen. And then nothing else happens. What’s the problem?

[full fossil]

Windows or linux?

Sounds like a driver error or the os is fucked

[sonic spruce]

Windows

[sonic barn]

its uhd

I had the i5 10310u and it sucks

[static bough]

thx

also

nvm

[sonic spruce]

I didn’t install drivers update

This was first thing to happen when I put gpu in

[static bough]

so I’ve searched for parently around 50 fps on cs which I really don’t mind

[full fossil]

Did you swap gpu or new build?

[sonic spruce]

Swap

[static bough]

720p ls

[slate tulip]

Ooops. The fact that I gave a VM 1TB of RAM instead of 1TB of disk might be the reason it didn't want to start, lol

[full fossil]

Nvidia to nvidia or nvidia to amd or amd to nvidia ?

[dreamy otter]

I think I just found the best thrift store ever

\

that iphone is $550

[sonic spruce]

Nvidia

[sonic barn]

android

[sonic spruce]

Oh uhh, new build. Gpu from difference pc

[dreamy otter]

highly doubt it

i've bought stuff from there before

it's mostly returns or excess stock

[sonic spruce]

New build, gpu from different pc

[full fossil]

Is there even an OS installed on your new storage then?

[sonic spruce]

Yes

[full fossil]

If not then thats why lol

[sonic spruce]

I booted into windows before

[full fossil]

Is it booting off your OS drive in your bios settings?

[sonic spruce]

Uhhhhhhhhh

My SSD drive I’m pretty sure

Like what do you mean?

[slate tulip]

It's 2023, doesn't everyone just boot off of a LUN these days? 😛

[sonic spruce]

?

[full fossil]

No lol

[manic torrent]

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3135 AH, there it is!

[sonic spruce]

So is problem my boot drive or?

[manic torrent]

stupid bug.

[sonic spruce]

Is it my bios?

Do I have to load bios so it detects the gpu?

[full fossil]

[sonic spruce]

?

Oh yeah btw I’m using a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter

It worked before on a different psu

[manic torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/chiquichico-gif-26004262

[full fossil]

[sonic spruce]

If you have the answer I’d like to hear it

[full fossil]

Have you tried google

[sonic spruce]

Yes

So boot pc without gpu

Uninstall drivers

Put gpu in

Then install drivers?

Man should I trust this?

[full fossil]

Define this

[dusky patrol]

I found a deal for 2 ps5 with overheating issues I'm assuming they just need to be cleaned...

Like 358 for both

[full fossil]

Make sure they werent taken apart or tampered with

If they were youll go deeper in the rabbit hole than planned

[dusky patrol]

I was thinking of buying them getting them cleaned then just turning around and selling one

[manic torrent]

two possible outcomes: 1) they are screwed and/or bricks in a case. 2) it's as you say

what is your risk appetite, how much can you afford to lose, and what is the take home

and will it be a good story and/or a fun time

[dusky patrol]

So don't buy from ebay got it!

[manic torrent]

I do dumb shit sometimes, because the experience/story is worth the risk

sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't 🙂

[leaden gale]

That's a terrible conclusion, but okay

Ebay has very aggressive Buyer Protection

[manic torrent]

My wife was very fuckin impressed when a smashed car that I paid $8k for got dumped in our driveway

[leaden gale]

Holy shit lmao

[dusky patrol]

That sucks!

it didn't suck at all!

[cunning falcon]

anyone know how to fix errors with partitioning drives?

[hearty spear]

Nope

[hearty spear]

With or without data destruction

[cosmic coyote]

with DLSS 3.0 yes

[cunning falcon]

fixing issues without data destruction

I have every single unus annus video on the drive including backups of their website and livestreams

though I have a backup of the backup and another one on my google drive

[hearty spear]

I have no clue what that is, but k.

What is the issue

[cunning falcon]

"one of my drives partitions has changed to Simple volume when i tried to extend it. I can't extend it and when I try to allocate the space thats free seperately it doesn't work but the letter that I chose for the drive is no longer choosable"

[cunning falcon]

Exactly why I don't want it gone. its a channel that markiplier and Crankgameplays did for an entire year and made a video every day and then deleted the entire channel after

[cosmic coyote]

If you have a backup I dont understand the issue

[cunning falcon]

I have games and other stuff on the drive too

[cosmic coyote]

ah ok

[hearty spear]

It sounds like something that a partition repair software could fix, but I haven't touched any if it in well over a decade

[static bough]

aww:(

[cunning falcon]

Its also changed to dynamic for some reason

i've got a new drive coming in to dual boot linux on separately instead of using the drive so thats why its not already on the drive

looking at disk 2

No screenshots here lol @hearty spear wanna move over to dms?

[hearty spear]

Try running a Linux scan off a live USB?

[cunning falcon]

im not using linux at the moment

and don't have one for that

[hearty spear]

Honestly a thread in #1027757333117415424 would likely get a software suggestion

Don't have a usb stick?

[cunning falcon]

I do. I don't have a linux install on my pc. just windows, the open storage was from my linux install that I no longer have.

haha, no, this is actually me having LESS monitors, not more.

Sticking to just three (plus the little one for managing AV etc)

[cunning falcon]

i've got 3 at the moment waiting to change my setup so I can switch my main monitor from here to the one from my other setup

[manic torrent]

I'll be ditching 2x24 1x32 4k and 1x27" 1440 144hz

[fading horizon]

12700f or 13400f? I think they dont bench too far apart and its rougly a $60 difference. I game and do a bit of multitasking, nothing crazy. Playing a game and on second monitor a few tabs open and maybe a YT video.

[manic torrent]

probably sell the 32, give away the old 24, keep the new/light 24 as a spare, and use the 27" in the lounge

[cunning falcon]

My main monitor is the TUF 27 inch 1440p 165hz VG27AQ

[manic torrent]

I tried gaming on my 27" monitor at my desk, but it felt like a toy

[cunning falcon]

my second monitor is only 24 inch but its 144hz 1ms and i use it as a portrait display for discord and art related things

[full fossil]

mornin peeps

[cunning falcon]

and my third monitor is a 120hz 4k 50 inch tv screen lol

[manic torrent]

yeah see I use my 4k120 oled 48" screen as my main monitor

[fierce moth]

God damn

I have a pretty shit monitor

[cunning falcon]

i'm at an L shaped desk setup for the three and my main is angled in the corner to match how I sit but I'll have to rearrange everything to fit the 32 inch one I bought

I ended up buying this a while ago on sale

does anyone know any gaming mice for competitive minecraft?

[green locust]

get a g502 lightspeed then bind scroll to click

[full fossil]

already got a g502 lightspeed

the problem is that it double clicks most of the time

now im on a office mouse and looking for a new gaming mouse

[green locust]

I love when my windows have a TRAIL.

[cunning falcon]

I had an issue with a bunch of use on my g502 and it started having left click issues and stuff

I asked logitech and they sent me an entire new mouse for free

so I opened up the old one and repaired it now I got a second one that I put at my other setup

[full fossil]

cool

[hollow knot]

I once put the wrong type of thermal paste on my gpu (it contained gallium) it was a 3080 founders edition (made of aluminum) so it got messed up pretty bad but I was able to send it in and get a brand new one for free even though it was 100% my fault

@dusty rune

The 3080 LM incident

[full fossil]

Where the fuck do you find gallium thermal paste

[hearty spear]

Liquid Metal

[hollow knot]

Thermal grizzly

[full fossil]

Oh THAT stuff

[hollow knot]

their conductanaut

it contains gallium

[full fossil]

I just know it as liquid metal, just didn't know what the metal was

[hearty spear]

There's a reason we always say "don't fuckin use it!"

[hollow knot]

[full fossil]

Yeah I don't play with that stuff even on my cpu

The short risk ain't worth the temp difference

[hearty spear]

It also messes with copper, just nothing like alu

[hollow knot]

it says its good for copper on the package

[full fossil]

I think it's time we patent mercury thermal paste

[hollow knot]

Pure Cobalt-60 thermal paste

What If we just put a teaspoon of neutron star material on our cpu to passively cool it

[olive panther]

My Corsair 1200W PSU just caught on fire

Replacing the vrm thermal pads on my 2060 was very stressful

Was wearing gloves and shit, felt like surgery

“Ummm accctually its not safe to cool your pc with a radioactive cobalt isotope” -

[full fossil]

See the activists have it all wrong, global warming is real but it's something the Earth is doing to people

[olive panther]

Is PSVR2 worth buying?

[hollow knot]

Who cares if Antarctica melts its not like anyone lives there

[hollow knot]

Standalone is the way

[cunning falcon]

"umm actually ill shove a Radioactive Cobalt Isotope up your ass"

[olive panther]

Like the Meta Quest?

[hollow knot]

wait for quest 3

[olive panther]

Is that coming soon?

[hollow knot]

See if its any good

spring sometime

[olive panther]

oh I see, thanks

[cunning falcon]

Is it?

[hollow knot]

I think so

[cunning falcon]

I got the quest 2 start of last year and its been amazing

[hollow knot]

Yup

[cunning falcon]

no announcements have been made about it yet or any info so I'd doubt it

[hollow knot]

i still have a quest 1 from 2018

[cunning falcon]

especially with the backlash and money loss on the quest Pro

[hollow knot]

Igt ima go

[manic torrent]

pretty sure people live in the places that would flood

[native crag]

Could be worse - could be snowball Earth

[manic torrent]

honestly, worse/better on that, not really seeing it. "oh but people would die in DIFFERENT ways"

[native crag]

lol, yeah. Different for sure.

[olive panther]

So should I get the Quest 2 Pro or the regular Quest 2?

[fresh vector]

i have the quest 2

[olive panther]

How do you like it?

[rotund veldt]

I hope we could still sideload games on the quest 1 after they stop supporting it.

[dreamy otter]

It’s FaceBook. I wouldn’t be surprised if they just displayed a message on it saying “This device is no longer supported. Please upgrade to newer hardware to continue your Virtual Reality experience.”

and then blocked access to all the apps 😂

[naive light]

it would be great if they included that in the terms of use

if someone's going for an escape from reality then it's less likely that they will spend time on tedium

[errant valve]

there really is no announcements on ltt

[fluid ridge]

you own the hardware, not the software

facebook would be within their rights to no longer provide you access to software they make

it's tough but it is what it is

[wary summit]

guys

[olive panther]

yes?

[wary summit]

should i dual boot my school laptop 700/250 or just 2 accouts

i don't want my school messin around with netblocks and stuff, plus its BYO or we rent a ThinkPad from the school

[hollow pulsar]

Do they require installing anything?

[wary summit]

yea

like supposudley "monitoring" software

so i think imma dual boot

any news about dual booting on Windows 11? I cant access googl in china rn

[hollow pulsar]

Or VM

[sage flume]

any1 wanna help me cheat

[hollow pulsar]

Actually, if you dual boot and use the second OS partition for school, you can later on remove the partition and expand the primary OS partition to fill the space again.

[wary summit]

yea what im thinking

however, its now already 400 remaing out of 900

440 / 930 remaining

should i get a 2tb drive?

[hollow pulsar]

Is school going to use that much space?

[wary summit]

I'm going to use that much space personally

[hollow pulsar]

You have your answer then.

[olive panther]

Cheat on what? Your significant other?

[sage flume]

on a test and nvm

[full fossil]

[small zephyr]

🤔 wow i just brought my first flagship performance like phone but its 2 years old xD

but 180bucks for an xiaomi mi 10t pro considering i paid for my garbage phone i use atm 160bucks was an worthwhile update

going from an ultra weak to an snapdragon 865 with 114hz display so worth it

😭 well but it got a punch hole selfie cam

i hate the build in display camera modules, only reason i like my honor 9x is because of the popup selfie cam

[primal cairn]

Where can I buy water cooling kit, like the tubings and pump and stuff

[echo cairn]

How do you add tag on a tech support post on mobile?

[pure nova]

newegg or amazon

newegg would be cheaper I would think

[small zephyr]

corsair and ek got some ready kits but they are ultra expensive

the ek one are like 250-300bucks and corsair one are like almost 400bucks i think

[pure nova]

https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=water+cooling+kits

that is what I found

[primal cairn]

Thanks👍

[pure nova]

some of the kits come with the pump tubing and a 3 fan radiator

[small zephyr]

but to be true at theese pricing its better to just buy the parts yourself or an aio

[primal cairn]

Woah they are expensive

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ aio like 100bucks for 360

[pure nova]

less it also depends if they want a singe duel or triple fan

I have seen single fans go for 50 to 75 usd brand new

[small zephyr]

🤔 i hope the xiaomi mi 10t pro i ordered comes fast as the genshin impact case i ordered on aliexpress xD

[small zephyr]

dual fan is like 50-70 as well and dpending on the brand you even get tripple fan aios for under 100bucks

my Xilence 240mm (dual fan) was 50bucks

and since Xilence is a daugther of bequiet i trust em

and welp basicly all aios are the same only difference may be the radiators thinkness after all they all use the same pump

90% of all aios use the asetek pump patent

[pure nova]

good to know

[small zephyr]

the 10% that doesnt put the pump in the radiator

and thats kinda stupid in my opinion, even if the fans are above it it still means less finstacks

[pure nova]

so my mobo went out the window and I am in dire need of a new one any recommendations? preferably not asrock they kinda are on my do not buy list atm

[small zephyr]

like seriously you dont need an 280bucks corsair aio if you can get like one from xilence for example for 100bucks

asrock is one of the best manufactors for amd mobos tho

[pure nova]

I have one had it less then one year and it failed

[small zephyr]

the never buy in am4 is as my knowledge gigabyte

what socket by the way

[pure nova]

am4

[small zephyr]

maybe some asus rog strix

or some on the higher end msi

[pure nova]

a it guy that I go to told me to stay away from am4 msi boards

they are no bueno

[small zephyr]

the higher end ones are okay but on the low budget ones they use cheapo vrms

and gigabyte got the worst vrms on am4

as far as i know the am4 aorus mobos tend to break a lot

but welp you usualy cant go wrong with strix motherboards

they tend to be on the more expensive side but are quite good feature wise

[pure nova]

nah asus are good they got their peps covered 100p

[small zephyr]

and i think the soundchips on strix mobos are realy good

[pure nova]

their return policy is out of this world

[small zephyr]

😂 i may buy an strix board mainly because of the great soundchips xD

[pure nova]

correct me if I am wrong isn't it like 60 day money back or sum like that

[small zephyr]

i m no audiophile by all means but i dont wanna use an external internal audio card to use my logitech z906 speakers at its full potential

[manic torrent]

Looooool

[small zephyr]

and my b450m board from msi is just a bitch in this case

[pure nova]

I have a full on sound bar and sub and when I have it on when I hit my jakes going down I5 on ats on god it shakes my whole fuckin house

[small zephyr]

if i put the 3 jacks into the mobo it doesnt let me configure like i want, welp it lets me but it wont realy work so i needa use an single jack into the console of the speakers

i dont like soundbars

[manic torrent]

I suspect user error

[pure nova]

lmfaooooo

[small zephyr]

nope

[manic torrent]

You need to use the Realtek tool to assign the plugs

[small zephyr]

i did

[manic torrent]

And then?

[small zephyr]

they dont use the rear speakers at all

[manic torrent]

You also need to change the speaker config

[small zephyr]

if i set rear sub and dront speakers it just dont like it

[manic torrent]

You might be using the wrong 5.1 config, rear instead of aurround

You need to first, plug stuff in and work out what's what

[pure nova]

my mobo got some dog shit onboard audio card

[manic torrent]

Second, use the Realtek tool to assign plugs and test

[small zephyr]

my old one worked just fine tho but i know for a fact that msi matx board with only 3 audio ports dislike the z906

the old mobo from my friend had the same problem

[manic torrent]

Third, set the soundcard settings to 5.1

[small zephyr]

i tried literally everything

my old 50bucks 5.1 speakers worked just fine

[manic torrent]

They are all more or less the same

[small zephyr]

but i tried it on multiple msi motherboard with the z906 its just not likeing it

[manic torrent]

It may be that the z906 has a different resistance so it isn't detected? Seems like something that should be able to be fixed

[small zephyr]

if i set 5.1 it puts the audio from the back speakers on the front speakers it cant reconize the back ones

🤷‍♂️ i dont know why it wont work but i tried mutlple ways i even have an usb audio card but welp its 20bucks one so yeah its old

and i dont think my motherboards audichip doesnt support dts or dolby digital

[manic torrent]

This is why I don't use that at all. I have a Linux system running pipewire, that I connect to over the network using VBAN, and it sends audio out via HDMI to my reciever

[manic torrent]

... DTS / DD are done in software when you have an analog output card

[small zephyr]

i atm use the 3,5 headphone cable to hook my monitor to the dpeakers

[small zephyr]

welp if i try to activate dts or dd on my audio cables in motherboard it just wont let me do it

[manic torrent]

What cables.

How are you "activating" it

[small zephyr]

if i plug the speker over headphone port into my monitopr and use hdmi audio over my pc i can set it up its some weird voodoo

over windows sound settings

[manic torrent]

You cannot send DTS/DD out via analog.

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ i noticed

[manic torrent]

You can only transmit it via spdif, or HDMI/DP

[small zephyr]

thats why yeah 3, 35, jack suck

[manic torrent]

No, that isn't it at all.

You just decode the DTS/DD on your PC.

This only matters when you have a source that's DTS/DD

[small zephyr]

yeah but if i have a source thats dts the speakers controll hub should show me its decodeing in dts/dd

but even if i use it it wont work it only puts it in my pc on 2.1

[manic torrent]

.... Only if it's using spdif.

[small zephyr]

my usb card does have spdif

[small zephyr]

and using chinch i weirdly enough can only use it on headphones

[manic torrent]

Also I don't think windows can just output DTS by itself

You need a DTS bitstream

[small zephyr]

i brought the dts shit in windows store

[manic torrent]

I really don't think you have any idea what you're doing

[small zephyr]

i even have dolby atmos, but well that actually is only for headphones tho

if i have speakers that supports dts/dd it usually should just lets me say use dolby etc in windows settings

but if i try to say windows use this it instantly turns it off

welp at least 5.1 works over the display but i wanna upgrade my mainboard and cpu anyways so i wanna get something with an decent audiochip like an asus motherboard which got spdif per default

i would have no problems buying an soundcard but it wouldnt realy fit, one pcie prot is covered by the gpu and the next one is placed so i would choke my gpu if put something there so i need an decent onboard solution

and realtek is okay but could be better

[balmy anchor]

Is xpc technologies a know brand?

[full fossil]

Can anyone recommend gaming headphones under $100?

[manic torrent]

.... It's the same chip. Just different plugs

the latency in wireless mice shouldnt be noticeable right when you have a good receiver?

[small zephyr]

thank you apple for your anti consumer trends yoou set

[small zephyr]

jup just buy a wireless thats more as 10bucks on amazon xD

welp, logitech razer and corsair uses all different kinds of technolgies but they all have realy low latency

[manic torrent]

Latency in wireless gaming mice hasn't been noticeable for over 20 years.

[full fossil]

cool cuz idfk care abt the cord for my keyboard but when i drag my mouse the cord really sucks

[full fossil]

okay mr bob

[manic torrent]

Wireless cheap shit mice? Yeah absolutely garbage. Do not want.

[small zephyr]

welp you should prob at least spend 30bucsk at minium to get something decent wireless

and dont buy some crap random chinese bullshit on amazon be carefull there xD

[manic torrent]

I don't think I have ever bought a mouse for less than $30

Certainly not something that wasn't a spare/temporary thing

[small zephyr]

i swear you find in some cases better quality products on aliexpress as on amazon nowadays

[manic torrent]

...yes. because they are marketplaces

[small zephyr]

and my acutally good china shit keyboard you wont find it elsewhere basicly

womier keyboards are realy great quality

48$ for an mechanical keyboard with perfectly stabilzed keys and hotswap switches with extra stuff like silicon mat between the faceplate and the pcb to stop rattle and stuff

theres keyboards for more money as that that arent even near the value of this thing

[fossil parrot]

Ngl steelesieres keyboards mice headsets and mouse pads are really damn good

[small zephyr]

🤔 i have 2 mices

[manic torrent]

I have... Uhhh.. 5? Ish?

[small zephyr]

i brought the corsair dark core pro rgb se (the first gen) and an speedlink orios

i hated the dark core so i brought another one but the orios is wired

[full fossil]

Nothing makes me happier than coming home to a full mouse trap

[small zephyr]

since i got the dark core i hate corsair.... icue is just a freaking nightmare and the mouse feels way to big

you basicly always have 2 fingers on right click and that sucks

so i rather get anoyed by cables, but since i use my Hatsune Miku as mouse bungee its kinda good actually

🤔 asus tuf matx mobo or an asrock steel legend matx?

okay i think the steel legend won, it got intregrated io shield rgb and costs 40bucks less

urgh my genshin impact case i ordered on aliexpress takes seemingly until march to get delivered

good thing the xiaomi mi 10t pro got an basic clear case with it

[graceful burrow]

Why would you expected a quick delivery with aliex
Sure, it can happen, but it's not common

[small zephyr]

yeah i just didnt want to buy stuff for 10bucks to get the 15day delviery

but i hope it wont take too long since china and germany arent to far apart and its only an letter style delivery so yeah i hope it will be faster as march xD

but why buy boring black or clear cases for 10bucks locally if i get for 4 bucks cases with prints on em on aliexpress

since i mainly brought the phone to play games like genshin impact and mobile legends on it i thought why not a cases with my favourite char on it

🤔 the mi 10t pro may be 2 years old now and i got it used in like new condition for 180bucks, its still an msrp 500bucks phone when it launched lol but its the first phones that is basicly an non sub 200 phone i ever brought

i just dont wanna deal with sub 200bucks phones anymore always only get updates for a year or 2 at max are realy poor in performance and miss many features i would like, like fast charge or nfc

[manic torrent]

I have the first gen and the second gen

[manic torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/papi-ace-tiny-hands-small-hands-typing-type-gif-24733464

[small zephyr]

i have rather big hands

but the dark core's body in width is to massive

i tend to have my ring and pinky finger on the side of the mouse and since my fingers arent realy nible since i broke my hand i cant realy spread them far apart but on then dark core i cant without being uncomfy

and driver wise it was a fucking nightmare to update the firmware for example

or the super useless battery life icon for windows from the icues app which cant see how much battery life is left

[robust fjord]

always remember folks, roll back drivers for amd peeps on RX 6000, avoid the 22.11.2 driver for now, DOA GPUs on news running that(mostly 6800 and 6900)

someone did a linus drop tips on the thermal protection part of code it seems, if not QA failure. Better be safe

[mortal pier]

When is the apple car coming out

[amber cairn]

is that confirmed by now?

[graceful burrow]

Wanna see an alleged pic?

[amber cairn]

i saw that someone had posted a video from some random repair shop owner saying a bunch of AMD cards were coming in fried but dunno if that's been independently verified?

[amber cairn]

oof

[graceful burrow]

Apparently it's giving 12v to vcore
Which is monstrously high

[amber cairn]

That's a big fuckup from AMD if it's legit.

welp any chance discrete intel GPU's will catch up to nvidia within the next 10 years?

[graceful burrow]

Yes

Im hopeful for new Intel gpus
First shot out the gate honestly isn't bad

[amber cairn]

it's probably the best AV1 encoder for the money

honestly it could've been a lot worse and they did price themselves appropriately i'd say

[robust fjord]

barbequed GPU

I bet AMD would either replace those 1:1 if not full refund

[amber cairn]

they're within warranty so they better

6000 series is barely over a year old no?

[robust fjord]

would be sweeter deal for peeps that lost the gpu if they swapped it with 7000 series

[robust fjord]

yep, a year old slightly

so all are still within warranty

[orchid kestrel]

yep, most companies do a series per year, intel CPU, AMD CPU and GPU, Nvidia GPU

intel GPU i do not include because they havent consistently release a GPU series a year

[amber cairn]

probably as to be expected as intel couldn't quite hit the targets they were aiming for out of the gate with the first gen stuff. Second gen might be a lot more interesting and hopefully intel won't scrap the dGPU division before a gen 3

[small zephyr]

🤔 is getting screen protector worth it if the screens nowadays are already scratch resistant?

[sonic spruce]

How much power does molex deliver?

I keep getting answers saying 54 watts and 132 watts

I need molex to sata power for a disk drive btw

[fervent prairie]

Depends. Phone tablet sure, but not for a watch. At least I would scratch everything.

[amber cairn]

it makes it more fall-resistant in some cases

[magic crown]

depends on if you are talking about 12 v or 5 v

[amber cairn]

a case + glass screen protector might save it from getting a real nasty shattering from bouncing off concrete depending on how bad the fall is

[small zephyr]

my honor 9x which definly got an worse quality gorilla glass screen as the 10t pro i ordered doesnt have a single scratch after 2 years of use

without protector

but i use a regular silicon case around it tho

[fervent prairie]

My pixel 7 screen protector already has 2 scratches with a dbrand grip case
Just be like Linus

[small zephyr]

well it got some scratches but you only see em when the screen is off and are verry minor

welp i will have to stick for a couple months sadly with the standart silicon cases xiaomi phones comes with tho since aliexpress will prob take some months

[sonic spruce]

I’ll send photos

[small zephyr]

xD but i kinda mostly dislike screen protectors mostly becuase you will always have bubbles in most cases

im still buffed i managed to mount the top screen protector oon my DSi xl perfectly

the button one sadly got a small bubble thanks to a stupid dust piece which got in there the second i put the protector on lol

🤔 i may but some anti glare foil at least on the new phone tho

i realy like matt finish makes it less of a pain to look at in sunlight

[fervent prairie]

Seems like you're doing it wrong. I never have bubbles under my screen protectors🥦

[full fossil]

they are such a scam, they get scratched up so fast and u have to buy ANOTHER ONE,
i just took that crap off, and my screen is shiny af for years now without any visible scratches :V (cuz the glass is hardened)

[small zephyr]

i somehow always end up with em

[past egret]

i accidentally got a piece of dust under my protector

that really grinds my gears

[small zephyr]

for my dsi i brought em because the screen lens and the touchscreen are in mint condition

and thats fucking rae on ds/dsi/3ds's

[full fossil]

fair enough xD

[small zephyr]

that always happen to me i carefully clean it i remove the film put on fucking dust corn

i must say tho matt foil on dsi screen feels kinda weird with the pen

[amber cairn]

if it's minor scratches you can usually buff it out. Surface scratches aren't that big of an issue it's when it's deeper grooves and bumps that's kinda yikes

[small zephyr]

welp its more like an paper feel tho but its like the ipad either you like the paperlike foils or not

[full fossil]

how to put screen protector :V (its on phone, but same idea)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXyo40xwT1s

[small zephyr]

😂 my nintendo dsi got an Playstation move strap on it

kinda weird haveing an strap with playstation logo on your dsi

🤷‍♂️ but i still had an broken move controller so just put it on there xD

urgh i just played crab rave on my old phones, devastingly bad i hope the mi 10t pro that comes in 2 days will play it better

there is no better speaker benchmark as crab rave

🤔 my 20bucks redmi buds 3 lite are suprisingly good in crab rave tho

[past egret]

im gonna buy the sony wf1000xm3s

[small zephyr]

noooooo my new phone wont have sd card slot

[amber cairn]

really solid pair of headphones, the noise cancelling is amazing

[past egret]

the downsides of it is really just how big the case is

wish it was a bit smaller but it should be fine

[full fossil]

welcome to the future, where u pay double to get scammed xD

[small zephyr]

well at least it got 128gb i just wont be able to store as much pawn on my new phone as on my old one

well i have an dedecated 128gb sd card in my old phone for animes

[full fossil]

u can change internal memory chip with flux and blowtorch xD
512gb one only costs 40$

[small zephyr]

🤨 good thing i decided for the xiaomi 10t pro instead of the 11t

the 10t pro got optical image stabilisation and higher resulution

it only got an lcd screen instead of amoled tho but ips is good enough for me

Pawn what does that acronym stand for sus

[simple quail]

acronym, you say

[small zephyr]

pun was intended

[small zephyr]

no thanks i may have an soldering iron but i never used it.... so blowtorch nah thanks

im gonna keep my ebay refurb warranty

[simple quail]

lol changing the storage chip is a very risky process anyway

[sonic spruce]

My pc is making a beeping noise and screen is black when gpu is plugged in.

[small zephyr]

🤔 to be true i brought my soldering iron to fix the broken caps on my xbox one s all digital but to get replacement caps for it i needa buy another xbox one so nope

i rather buy an new working series s in that case

[sonic spruce]

Help please

cant use soldering iron cuz the pins are underneath the chip xP
so u heat up the solder on the board, and u place the chip on top

[simple quail]

can't you just read the labels of the caps and buy similar ones from an electronics store?

[simple quail]

why not just do it in a sauna

[sonic spruce]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[fervent prairie]

Remove the old hard drive and use it to store more of your pawn🦆

[small zephyr]

tried but i have no knowlegde which ones i can uses instead of theese and if i try searching for whats printed on it only find like 80bucks replacement on some sketchy console modding websites

[full fossil]

water damage xP

[small zephyr]

i use the harddrive in my pc now xD

[simple quail]

you can operate the sauna without water ;)

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ another free 1tb drive i gladly take it lol

[full fossil]

ill operate you without water

[small zephyr]

ended up buying another one tho since my ps4 drive died and didnt want to remove 1tb storage of my pc xD

🤔 but dang i got that 2,5inch hdd for my ps4 for 20bucks

🤔 and weirdly enough that was still more as i spend on the whole ps4

i spend literally 6$ on it

got it from a friend cuz the disk drive was "broken" for only shipping fees

[simple quail]

look at the capacitance, voltage rating and form factor, and just make sure you match the polarity where applicable, capacitance, and make sure the voltage is the same or higher on the new caps

[small zephyr]

all the disk drive needed was a little bend and a little clean of the rollers

[simple quail]

I once warmed a pizza on the sauna stove lol

[small zephyr]

i have no sense of stuff like this and get confused quickly since im an total noob and before i waste money i just throw it away

im only guessing its the caps tho

[simple quail]

if you're just guessing, it's very likely the problem is something else
the Xbox One S isn't that old

[small zephyr]

since if i use my multimeter on the power lines i dont get voltage readings so something for the power delivery is broken and some caps didnt gave me an beeb so im only guessing that it is that

[full fossil]

OwO sounds delicious

i dont have a sauna or a home tho xP

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ welp when i try to turn it on it instandtly shuts off so its either some caps or mosfets

and both are only avaivable on other xboxes

and paying 100bucks for a broken xbox considering i paid 100bucks for it before it broke yeah nope

[fervent prairie]

At this point, how about another Xbox. 🦆

[simple quail]

are you checking the continuity between the poles? capacitors are supposed to just create a capacitance between them, not pass current directly through, and the continuity beep probably comes from something else connected parallel to the cap

[small zephyr]

now i just use gamepass on my pc

[small zephyr]

yeah thats why i only think it is

[simple quail]

can also be a software problem, depending on how instant it is

[small zephyr]

nah from what i read online this problem comes almost always from faulty caps or mosfets

[simple quail]

well, it depends

[small zephyr]

but getting an multimeter on theese mosfets is realy hard mine is to big for proper touch of em

🤨 so i just dont bother and save for a series s or x

🤔 but well first i first needa pay for my phone tho

🤔 its not that bad tho 20bucks for 12months

[simple quail]

I've seen a faulty power supply, but it was in a rack-mounted NAS which was powered on 24/7, and then off for a long time, and the electrolytics probably dried out in use as it wasn't really willing to keep the NAS powered when installed

[small zephyr]

psu is fine thats the only thing i know how to test properly

[fervent prairie]

Sell your organs

[simple quail]

it might fail under (relatively) heavy load

[small zephyr]

xbox one s psu realy tend to die al lot

its the most likely death of the system in most cases

but well to be true i use, my nintendo switch my dsi xl, my ps4, my ps3 and my pc

as well as some casual phone gaming

🤷‍♂️

so yeah mayben i dont need an xbox for now i dont even know where to put all my shit its already realy tight under my desk with my massive subwoofer and the literal shoe rack i use for my consoles

[simple quail]

does it come as part of your cellular plan or?

[small zephyr]

nah ebay, rather the payment service i used

[simple quail]

ah

[small zephyr]

for my cullular plan i use prepaid

my credibility is well lets say it so if i want nonprepaid cell service i needa pay like 300bucks upfront

[simple quail]

well that sounds fun

[small zephyr]

and so i rather not i rather keep my 6GB 5G prepaid for 15bucks

🤔 and the 5bucks i load on my old sim to buy the monthly pack in genshin impact since my new sim wont let me do inapp purchaches even through its activated

[simple quail]

my phone plan was just transferred to me the other day, apparently it's 30 € a month for unlimited 5G

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ i wrote the providers support and they said they dont know whats happening

🤨 i pay 55bucks for an easybox 6591 with 1000mbits

for home internet

[simple quail]

my home Internet is technically free, because I'm alright with the 100 Mbit/s link I get as part of my rent

[full fossil]

"unlimited", its probably limited to 1tb :V

[small zephyr]

i hate it that you cant just order internet for home why is it always bound to telephone... whats the point of 3 telefone numbers if you dont use it cuz you use your smartphone like everyone else

[simple quail]

speaking from experience, it's not

[full fossil]

i see, mine was XD

[fossil frost]

unlimited is "you dont regularly use more than the average user", its a stupid marketing term, but you will get throttled or cut off if you use quite a bit more than average

[small zephyr]

unlimited here in germany is unlimited

but what do you need so much mobile data for? do you watch so much pawn on the go?

the time where i used my phones data for my pc i used around 20GB a month

[simple quail]

I almost always go over 100 GB of data usage each month

[full fossil]

it what happened to me xD it said on the plan "unlimited internet GB's", which apparently means 1tb lol

[small zephyr]

and i played mmo's with discord voice calls everyday

[simple quail]

I've started using Wi-Fi recently though, because the mobile data is horrendously slow in my new home

[small zephyr]

now i use aroound 5gb and only for reading mangas on my phone

is it worth getting an wifi 6 AP just for my new phone?

[simple quail]

I once did a huge transfer from my Nextcloud on a mobile hotspot, I can't imagine what the operator must've thought when they saw me use over 2 TB of data in two days

[neon mesa]

@small zephyr notice something?

[small zephyr]

stole my pfp

[neon mesa]

not exactly

[simple quail]

discombobulation ensues

[neon mesa]

look closely

[small zephyr]

but i still needa change mine it was a gif but aint got nitro anymore

[simple quail]

they're not that expensive, but as long as your current AP supports WPA3, I don't really see a reason to upgrade

[full fossil]

lmao XD
i tether my phone internet to pc, so i always use at least a 1tb a month,
once i get a home, im gonna buy fastest internet i can and use probably more internet than my city XD

[simple quail]

that is, unless you have many MU-MIMO capable devices far away from the access point, with a weak link

[small zephyr]

dont know what specs mine have but its the best cable router on the market around here thats not like 600bucks asus rog

the fritzbox 6591

my providers router was garbage so i got this extra for 5bucks a month

[summer folio]

How much ratio do you seed on your Torrents?

[full fossil]

whats a nextcloud btw? OwO

[full fossil]

Linus pirate tips

[small zephyr]

i dont use torrents i rather use ftp to trasfer stuff to my other devices

[simple quail]

a self-hosted cloud, kinda like Google Drive

[small zephyr]

transfering files to the ps3 over ftp is so much better as usb xD

[simple quail]

seems good enough tbh

it has MU-MIMO anyway

[full fossil]

interesting xP
i heard google servers are protected with machine guns :V very safe

[small zephyr]

well appearantly not good enough wifi signal for my appartment tho

i have powerline in every room and an extra AP in the corridor

🤷‍♂️ even in the next room i only get one reception bar

vertically its no problem weirdly enough if im 2 floors above by my neighbor my reception is perfect

[simple quail]

you could look into optimising the used channels / antenna position

[small zephyr]

if im outside i get it until im around the corner but inside my appartment reception sucks becuase of the walls

[simple quail]

2.4 GHz goes through the walls better than 5 GHz

[small zephyr]

i just got the worst reception blocking wall ever here the floors arent that bad as the walls

[small zephyr]

i got the problems even with 2,4ghz

thats why i use an 10meter lan cable to the corridor to have wifi in the kitchen or in the rooms of my roommates

[neon mesa]

consider a cantenna, it will blow through any wall

welll the drawback is it's a directional antenna

[simple quail]

build a giant tower next to your modem with a 1,000 W antenna

you might need to cut a hole in your roof for optimal height

[small zephyr]

🤔 if i buy an certain type of satalite wifi antena thing i could get free 10gb/s wifi

but i dont wanna spend 1000bucks on a wifi antenna xD

i got the tv tower around the corner and if i look out the windows i see it and i know that a get the city wifi project is active there and it uses some weird properitary atena type thingys and i now that accecs keys and stuff sicne i know the guys which made it

[full fossil]

if its not optic fiber, i dont like it :V cuz it always add ping

[small zephyr]

it is fiber

[full fossil]

but its antena OwO

[small zephyr]

nion fiber internet here is like 100-200mbits at max

[wanton glade]

yo guys, 5600g vs 12400f ?

[small zephyr]

antenna thats got as big as an tv stattalite receiver thats around 500meters away from me

the latency will be no issue

[weak bridge]

12400f

[full fossil]

ill believe it when i see it XD best case its probably gonna be +10ping, worse case +25ping

[small zephyr]

the lateceny isnt even that big of a deal at the other side of the city

[wanton glade]

how much better is it ?

[simple quail]

a good wireless signal can be indistinguishable from a wired one, though wireless will almost always be more susceptible to interference

[small zephyr]

the 5600g prob got the better apu tho if thats the reason you would get it

[weak bridge]

depends on the game/workload

[small zephyr]

since it neither 2,4 or 5ghz i doubt there will be much interference

[wanton glade]

let's say blender

[wanton glade]

what apu

[small zephyr]

the 5600g got integrated graphics

thats the g for

[wanton glade]

oh ye true

[weak bridge]

It's 2.8% slower.

[wanton glade]

ok, what about 12400 vs 5600g

[wanton glade]

and a game like horizon zero dawn, or spiderman miles morales ?

where do you get your sources btw

[weak bridge]

gamersnexus

[small zephyr]

well always depends on the markets but amd tends to be cheaper

[weak bridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P_AGv-DJbU&ab_channel=GamersNexus

[small zephyr]

in terms of cpu and motherboard costs

[wanton glade]

trustworthy ?

[weak bridge]

more trustworthy than LTT

[simple quail]

there can be interference from all sorts of things, not just other Wi-Fi appliances; Bluetooth is notorious for having trouble when you use your microwave

[small zephyr]

welp ltt sells an 250bucks backpack xD i can understand your misstrust but ltt is trustworthy

[wanton glade]

sounds good

[small zephyr]

no rma or quality can justify 250bucks for a backpack considering ypu get super high quality back packs with led panels on the back for under 200bucks

[weak bridge]

12400 is usually equivalent to a 5600X, I think the 5600G's are usually slightly worse than 5600/X chips, but the main drawback of the 5600G is that it's PCIe 3.0, and on a dead platform. 12400F has an upgrade path down the road with 13th gen.

however, 5600s can be way cheaper than 12400s

[small zephyr]

if ltt backpack would have an led panel the 250bucks would be justified but duh how did they come up with such absurd high prices for a backpack

[simple quail]

when you don't mind spending a little extra money everywhere, it quickly adds up

[small zephyr]

welp maybe but my 50bucks backpack is super big high quality and im sure its like almost twice the volume

i dunno i compare the ltt backpack to an gucci bag

costs more for the logo

[full fossil]

perhaps xP

[weak bridge]

I think some wireless mice are lower latency than wired

[full fossil]

every time i touch anything metal, i literally create a bright blue lightning strikes, and it hurts af TwT

[simple quail]

is winter's dry air fun or what

[small zephyr]

that mostly depends on the circumstances tho because they mostly uses some form of 2,4ghz protocol and 2,4ghz is used by almost anything and can get worse if there are other devices with 2.4ghz signals

[weak bridge]

what does logitech's lightspeed stuff use

[small zephyr]

even if they call it slipstream or whatever in the end it still some form of 2,4ghz conection

[full fossil]

lol, its super fun, i literally walked by my co-worker monitor, and i turned his monitor off for a second with my magnetic powers XD

[simple quail]

technically yes, but the difference is most certainly indistinguishable

[weak bridge]

yeah, I don't care if you're a CS:GO pro or not, if you're able to tell the latency difference between wired and a good wireless mouse (not bluetooth), you're a psychopath

[small zephyr]

god i will have fun with my new phone in elcetronic stores

[simple quail]

pick up a nail with your hand and point the sharp end at various things

[small zephyr]

it got ir blaster, its so fun turing the tvs on and of the staff will get comfused af xD

[simple quail]

I wish my phone had an IR blaster

[small zephyr]

when i got my redmi note 4 one of the first thing i did was consusing media markt stuff (german equivalent of microcenter of some sorts)

ever saw electronics store stuff being confused af why the tv's turn off when they turn em on?

[hallow monolith]

also that feature was quite handy a couple times lol

they still add IR blasters on new models to this day

[small zephyr]

jup my tv aint got a remote anymore

[manic torrent]

no you don't, get a wifi/IR bridge.

integrated it with home assistant. Boom. Also What TV doesn't have wifi and integration these days?

[mossy pendant]

bad ones

haha

[simple quail]

there was a store somewhere which sold an IR power button sequence blaster, which only had one button and one job; send the power button sequence of every manufacturer's TV

[hallow monolith]

oh yeah, about home assistants

[small zephyr]

dude my tv still got an vga port

[past egret]

why does my phone has a barometer

[manic torrent]

I'm sorry you are poor 😦

[mossy pendant]

That'd be great to bring to a best buy

[small zephyr]

its old af but its 1080p xD

[mossy pendant]

My monitor still got dvi 💀

[simple quail]

we had a plasma TV until 2020

[mossy pendant]

got it for free at a garage sale

[manic torrent]

damn that would to be a VERY specific time period. SFA TVs had VGA

[full fossil]

1894

[hallow monolith]

never trusted home assistants, never will; here's one more reason for me to do that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oExqM3saeQw

[small zephyr]

and my tv will be kept because it got composite as well

[manic torrent]

I have a monitor with DVI from 2010, but I'm about to get rid of it. It does also have hdmi and dp and vga though.

[hallow monolith]

come on, no embeds?

[small zephyr]

composite gets rarer and rarer

[small zephyr]

its from toshiba

[manic torrent]

not for green plebs

[hallow monolith]

snob.

[mossy pendant]

I dont even got hdmi or dp. I gotta get an adaptor from dp to vga
