[fossil frost]

and.. its wrong, because its 2357 currently

[coarse comet]

It's the same thing what's gonna change in 3 minutes

[fossil frost]

3 minutes ago, i needed a piss, now i dont...

a lot can change in 3 minutes

[coarse comet]

Nothing substantial

[tough spruce]

Vr sim racing is cool

[fossil frost]

btw, @manic torrent , pinging again 😄 ... i only realised today... that a very cheap source of addressable RGB lights... is fucking xmas tree lights...

[tropic dune]

hey guys! i was watching thiojoe's video about ventoy and i had an idea: install ubuntu and windows on the usb. like not a bootable drive to install the os's, but a full version of the os. i know that its possible to fully instal both os's on a drive, but not if you can install both on the same drive using ventoy

[coarse comet]

I wish I could do sim racing I've been saving for 2 years and yet only have £90

[unkempt widget]

is it addressable?

[manic torrent]

nope! garbage! also many of them are not addressable as such, and "RGB" is literal RGB not PWM RGB

[fossil frost]

the lights ive pulled out of the attic today, each bulb can be multiple colours, and are 3 wire

[dusty depot]

Since there are now quantum computers, how much longer do you think it'll take for "quantum internet"?

[fossil frost]

and its not all or nothing colour... individual lights can be different colours

[dusty depot]

Transfer those q-bits over a wire.

[fossil frost]

quantum entanglement means you dont need wires

[manic torrent]

cool - that's not common for xmas lights. I just buy full strips and cut them to suit my needs and solder them

[dusty depot]

That's some crazy wifi capability. 0ms

[manic torrent]

we can't even get a quorum of IPv6....

[dusty depot]

if you chop up a q-tip into bits, are those q-bits?

[unkempt widget]

that's a q tip bit, not a q bit

[dusty depot]

I haven't had coffee yet this morning don't pay attention to me.

[spark wolf]

is it possible for developers to port there games from windows to linux?

[unkempt widget]

currently drinking it

[dusty depot]

yeah

[unkempt widget]

too much work for too little reward

[dusty depot]

It's possible, even if unlikely.

[fossil frost]

yes, but since linux is currently a very small sector of the market, they dont bother because its not worth the time

but, with steamos getting bigger... and the steamdeck being a success, there may actually finally, start being some financial incentive for it

but, many lazy developers/publishers, will just rely on the fact that proton is pretty good

[dusty depot]

I'm thinking that since my top of the line gaming PC is already 4 months old, it's time to get a new top of the line gaming pc.

Any suggestions?

[fossil frost]

no, because you are attention seeking, not actually doing it

[dusty depot]

Okay, my PC is actually much older than 4 months, I am looking to replace my laptop with a gaming tower.

I was looking at those new solid state "fans".

The little chips that generate a stream of air using vibrations.

Just not sure if those have officially hit the market.

Hmm, yeah plus they haven't been tested a whole lot.

I've already had to replace the fans in my laptop once and it's only been a couple years.

I figured the solid state airjet might last a little longer since it doesn't have moving parts, but that's hard to say.

[vapid smelt]

i9 13900ks, rtx 4090 with 64gb of ddr5

[dusty depot]

Yeah, absolutely, but I meant like, what mobo should I get?

[short trail]

Amd new drivers is brokey again

[full fossil]

Maybe wait for the benchmarks on the ryzen 7000x3d series

Since you said gaming pc

[dusty depot]

I do kinda want to use a ryzen over the rtx simply because they seem more friendly with virtualization, and I do virtualization often enough to warrant the preference.

[full fossil]

Ryzen over Intel you mean?

[dusty depot]

yes

no wait, nvidia

[full fossil]

NVIDIA over AMD?

[dusty depot]

no no other way

AMD over Nvidia xD

AMD is more friendly with virtualization*

[full fossil]

Oh so more than just gaming

[dusty depot]

of course, that depends on what I virtualize.

[full fossil]

If we are talking pure gaming, 4090 is gonna slap around a 7900 XTX

[manic torrent]

yes, nvidia drivers used to arbitrarily limit you if you were trying to passthrough a GPU

[dusty depot]

Is that still an issue with the 4090?

you said "used to" so I'm thinking it must no longer be the case.

Let's say hypothetically I were to virtualize MacOS, not that I'd ever do a silly thing like that.

[manic torrent]

AIUI they no longer do

[polar fern]

Imagine dual 4090 😬

[dusty depot]

Imagine the electric bill.

[polar fern]

Folding at home tho 👀

[dusty depot]

an extra $200 per month on electricity for an additional +1 frame

That's exaggerated btw.

[polar fern]

1 frame per kWh

[dusty depot]

I dunno, I kinda feel like even one 4090 is overkill for most games.

Imagine all the frames you'll get while popping bloons.

[polar fern]

It’s not for games tho really

More like physics & simulation

[sullen depot]

Ryzen 5 2600 and rtx 3070 should be able to handle all games 1080 60fps right

[manic torrent]

yes. CPU is more limiting than GPU. cheap s/h CPU upgrade would be recommended.

[sullen depot]

Is it really that much of a bottleneck

[dusty depot]

I do a lot of code compiling, so I'll definitely be prioritizing a CPU over GPU.

[manic torrent]

In some games? (forza horizon 5, far cry 6) it absolutely is. In others? not so much

[dusty depot]

Oxygen not included

[sullen depot]

O

[dusty depot]

One of my favorite games.

[sullen depot]

Maybe I'll get the Ryzen 7 5800X3D when it drops in price some

[manic torrent]

5700x cheap af and basically the same as a 5800x

[dusty depot]

Mine all those etheriums. Is mining even still a thing?

[manic torrent]

no

[dusty depot]

Didn't think so

[vapid smelt]

poor mans cpu * real chads buy the r7 5800x3d

[manic torrent]

the cost effective mans CPU 🙂

[sullen depot]

I don't want to update my mobo yet

[dusty depot]

I'll just do some ninja training and replace the transistors in my CPU with manually switches. Fastest CPU in the worl.

[manic torrent]

My 5700x runs at 4.85ghz max boost

[dusty depot]

That's pretty good.

I thought they had a max of 4.6

[vapid smelt]

unlike intel they are unlocked

[dusty depot]

How do I unlock image posting through subbing to Linus' twitch? I don't even know his twitch channel.

[vapid smelt]

?

[polar fern]

What?

[dusty depot]

Sorry, I had a thought and I was like "Let's use keys to express the thought" and then I wasn't even mentally here anymore I was sleeping.

[polar fern]

Just search linustech

[dusty depot]

okay

[vapid smelt]

https://www.twitch.tv/linustech

[polar fern]

Linu tec tip

[dusty depot]

Hmm, I don't like the idea of linking discord to twitch. But, whatever.

[manic torrent]

BRAIN HIT KEYS OOGA BOOGA

[dusty depot]

That's why coffee is important, but I can't get coffee until my package arrives. 😭

still a 2 hour window.

[manic torrent]

Sometimes I blow on my ice cream before I take a bite, here's what i suspect was going on
brain: food, is very temperature!
also brain: no worry, learned from soup, know what do

[dusty depot]

lol

[manic torrent]

Really? My package came this morning early. I have at least one more coming today

[dusty depot]

I did the scheduled deliver thing. Between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM.

I normally opt for the 12:00-2:00 since it opens up my morning a little more, but I have stuff to do in the afternoon.

[vapid smelt]

taycan 4S, obviously

[vapid smelt]

best family car you can buy

[manic torrent]

oooh judgy judgy

[dusty depot]

Testing to see if I can post images now.

Oh, it worked. That's my kitty-cat server.

[graceful burrow]

What does it serve

[dusty depot]

It's got a SD card in it, so I just store some files on it currently. Can send + retrieve.

I made it look like a cat cause my daughter loves it, but I also plugged it in near the ceiling (air conditioner electrical outlet) so she can't touch it.

[dapper turret]

Everytime I wear headphones my hair gets dented

[graceful burrow]

Smart

[dusty depot]

That's why a lot of people wear a hat with their headphones.

[graceful burrow]

Yeah that's how it works
There's a fix tho

[tropic dune]

you can get a r5 5500 from microcenter for dirt cheap. great cpu if you have 2x8gb ram

[dapper turret]

whats the fix

[vapid smelt]

r5 5500 is ass

[tropic dune]

3200 cl16

[dusty depot]

Like a touque.

[graceful burrow]

Shave your head so there's no hair to dent

[dapper turret]

ok maybe il try that in the future

[tropic dune]

kinda but for the price its a really compelling offer

$90 at microcenter rn

if u find something better for <$100...

[dusty depot]

I'd rather spend 200 than throw away 90.

But if it works for you...

[vapid smelt]

12100f is $107 on amazon

[tropic dune]

oh...

[tropic dune]

wait, it even beats the 5500 in multi threaded performance?

[ripe patrol]

wasn't the 5500 the one with the oddball pcie lanes or something?

[vapid smelt]

5500 gen 3

[grand kite]

so real

[tropic dune]

it only has gen 3 but for 90% of use cases for a cpu of that price, its prob fine

but if the 12100f is beating it...

also it only has 20 usable lanes so 16 for ur gpu and 4 for nvme ssd

kinda goofy ahh

[jaunty compass]

i'm curled up in a heating blanket at my desk

[jaunty compass]

yeah the 5500 is pretty awful

pretty awful product

it loses to the r5 3600 performance wise

which was same architecture and older

the r5 3600 had pcie 4 though lol

[tropic dune]

oh

so the name "5500" is there to scam users who don't do any research such as myself

[jaunty compass]

the 5500 was basically

pretty awful, actually

[ripe patrol]

"what can we make during covid supply shortages" scenario probably

[jaunty compass]

yes, exactly

so was the rx 6500 xt

[manic torrent]

"what bottom tier garbage can we sell to povos"

[tropic dune]

"we have all of these cracked wafers laying around, do you think they will notice if we box them up?"

[jaunty compass]

the rx 5500 xt was slightly faster than the rx 6500 xt

even in scenarios that would favor the 6500 xt

[tropic dune]

"bUt mOrE fEaTuReS"

[jaunty compass]

and the 5500 xt had 8 gigs of vram

the 6500 xt had fucking like
4, didn't it

💀

[tropic dune]

4 or 8gb

[jaunty compass]

it was 4

the 6500 xt had fucking 4

[jaunty compass]

wait lmao the 5500 xt had a 4 gig version

and it's still faster

that's an L for the 6500 xt
a major fucking L

[vapid smelt]

in some games it beats the rx 5500xt even the 8gb model

[jaunty compass]

that's because they had to put it to medium so the 6500 xt doesn't die painfully

[vapid smelt]

"beats" better 1% lows same fps

[manic torrent]

and then the 6600XT gets double.

[jaunty compass]

6600 xt my beloved

I actually use one of those

[manic torrent]

So do I

[vapid smelt]

ah here is a clear beating 72 vs 68

[jaunty compass]

favor quality, what does that mean?

is that like
medium or medium high

i still love the fact that for I expect you to Die 2
they had a sad clown sing the opening

[vapid smelt]

idk its a quality preset set by horizon zero dawn

[jaunty compass]

schell games went hard for the I expect you to die 2 opening
it's way better than the first game's opening

[manic torrent]

puddles?

[jaunty compass]

yes

[vapid smelt]

your brother chocolate is better

[full fossil]

Ice cream? No. Milk? Yes

[vapid smelt]

chocolate ice cream is WAY better

[full fossil]

I prefer vanilla ice cream

[heady flicker]

I'll take strawberry ice cream any day

[limpid hamlet]

[ember maple]

Anyone know of some free good pc applications for designing and architecting houses and property ect. ?

[limpid hamlet]

its a game with no addons or expansions

[limpid hamlet]

blender

https://www.blender.org/

[ember maple]

Ik of that and nothing else but it’s hard to learn

I thought there’d be more than one

[indigo lintel]

Is Google SketchUp free? Might be worth a look. A lot easier to use than blender

Been a while since I've used it myself

[ember maple]

I’ll check it out ty

[heady flicker]

hard to go back to sketchup after using inventor for so long

[indigo lintel]

Oo not heard of that one before. Autodesk do make good software. I don't do too much CAD myself but am always down to learning of new goodies xD

Might get back into it

[ember maple]

I’m just starting! 😇

[indigo lintel]

Ah nice! Hope you have fun!

Oh, Steam big picture mode is finally the Steam Deck UI

General release, not in the beta

[polar fern]

Steamy decks

Steamer decks

[muted relic]

I do want a Steam Deck.

It would be almost entirely dedicated to emulation

[velvet marsh]

This is what mine is for

[polar fern]

Steam deck

[finite cloud]

ooo

i dont have one of those

[vapid smelt]

im glad i upgraded my steam decks storage on my own only 90 bucks for gen 4 512gb ssd

[finite cloud]

Heh, big Steam Deck

[full fossil]

Why no color

[finite cloud]

okay yeah they definitely ripped this straight from the steam deck lol

[muted relic]

The UI is great if you got a controller. Can relax away from the keyboard.

[vapid smelt]

[muted relic]

Great for anything that's not a shooter.

It's just the home button on whatever controller you're using.

[finite cloud]

I’m using this

[sonic barn]

Has anyone tried making a phone laptop using a usbc dock and a 3d printed laptop frame like that razer concept

[muted relic]

Then don't use the steam deck UI. It's intended for controllers

You switch to desktop mode on the steam deck when you're using a KB/M

[finite cloud]

i know what its for i just wanted to try it

Alright there

it changed the icons to play station icons thats neat

[wanton jewel]

wut, linus is at xqc's house?

[vapid smelt]

What is a wut?

[jaunty compass]

as a deck owner, it's a great device

[graceful burrow]

Same
Love me deck

[jaunty compass]

my recommendation is get the base model and upgrade the storage

[wanton jewel]

what

[muted relic]

Oh I know. I got a spare 128gb SD card too.

I could get a 512 GB ssd for like $80, and put both into the cheapest model

[jaunty compass]

for emulation, if you do newer titles i recommend upgrading to a NVME internal drive

because shader caching

[onyx pecan]

I'm a stick

[jaunty compass]

that can cause major stutters if you have slow storage

[onyx pecan]

I agree

[jaunty compass]

that's just a fact
idk how you can really agree or disagree with a known fact

[manic torrent]

You can when you're a stick

[onyx pecan]

?

[onyx pecan]

Is that your pc in your pfp

[manic torrent]

yes

[onyx pecan]

I like it. It looks cool. Stick is too broke to build cool pc like that

[manic torrent]

Cheers, I just started watercooling one day, and took it way too far

[onyx pecan]

...

[jaunty compass]

rgb'd out watercooled pcs are overrated lol

[primal vale]

I'd honestly rather buy computer parts offline than online

[onyx pecan]

Too much work to replace water etc especially if your a lazy stick like me.

[jaunty compass]

get a refund 🗿

you very much should be

able to get a refund

well then that's on you for not saying anything

well no

it's still definitely on the seller

basically

but amazon's customer service is pretty decent (usually)

much of the time they'll just fucking eat the cost of replacing or refunding things if something is wrong

[plucky crest]

hi can someone give me a hand real quick,

i stupidly bought fl studio off a dodgy asf website and need screenshot of a vbscript msgbox on windows to get a refund as I'm on a mac and its no refunds if i bought for the wrong platform

MsgBox "FL.Studio.Producer.Edition.20.9.2.2963.exe cannot be opened due to an unknown error.",16,"FL.Studio.Producer.Edition.20.9.2.2963.exe" 😦

[manic torrent]

Try it

[pliant karma]

your board not qmk/via compatible?

[manic torrent]

See what happens

[finite cloud]

Tis. It’s a keychron Q1

[pliant karma]

hell yea.

lol realising that I broke the mac/windows switch on my V1 I might actually have to send it to keychron to get it fixed

[manic torrent]

..... it's a switch.

[pliant karma]

cause I plan on using this keyboard on my macbook

[manic torrent]

just open it up

[pliant karma]

you know I am not that guy to fix stuff lol.

[manic torrent]

haha, everyone should be fixing stuff 🙂

[pliant karma]

but it is broken clean off. no way really to switch it without damaging it more

[finite cloud]

Is it hotswap? You can probably just replace it

[manic torrent]

nono, the switch is a toggle on the side

[pliant karma]

prob I just don't wanna go through the soldering process

[manic torrent]

replacement would be disassemble and solder

[finite cloud]

Ooooh that switch. Yikes

[pliant karma]

burned my hand once so now I have a fear of soldering irons lol

[finite cloud]

You get used to it

[pliant karma]

actually I can remap keys on via. that is what I have been doing since I got this keyboard

it's stuck on the mac layout but I just remapped with via

for windows

[finite cloud]

I’m not sure also if the V1 is the same way but my keyboard has that switch on its own board so maybe you can replace just that if it is. Keychron will send you parts if you ask

[manic torrent]

lololol I burned myself so many times

[pliant karma]

I caught something on fire 🙂 long time ago when I was modding one of my nerf guns.

the soldering iron also burned through plastic when it fell

but then again I might not even dock my mac so I can just use it as is.

[finite cloud]

In macos you can change the modifier keys as well if you want to do that

[jaunty compass]

well they fucking scammed you

so it should be

ehh, bit of fire is a occupational hazard

[pliant karma]

yea that will do. lol I still know some tricks around mac os

[tough palm]

Yeah there's a thing in china for "partitioning boot drive"
It's so freakin wide spread; Lenovo do that Samsung do that Dell do that even my freakin girlfriend
absolute insanity
And because of so they leave absolutely no space for over-provisioning for the SSD controller so they wear out super fast
👍

They would go as far as to completely ignore Windows' "User" folder (including documents, downloads, music, etc) and put all documents (and even new software installs) in the new partition

[ripe patrol]

you haven't modded nerf blasters until you've set fire to a lipo 😉

my PC will sit above my monitors with the window facing outwards

providing glorious RGB for all to see, as well as making valuable room on the desk.

Not to mention, providing a counterweight for the monitors, not to mention - I love making this shit, not to mention - this is not something other people have, particularly because it's insane and actually costs quite a lot of money by the time you're done

No, the winch controls the length between them, so the winch runs when the monitors move in order to keep them in balance

oh, and there's a secondary PC position over to the right on the shelving, which is the "business" position 😉 - My wife didn't like the PC above the desk, so that was the compromise.

a monitor? dude there are three.

But the monitors are all firmly attached to the monitor arm slide.

I should add a PC failsafe though, so if it falls, it only falls so far.

So for people who don't speak Finnish, that video is a review of the LTT screwdriver by a Finnish tech review company

[manic torrent]

Finnish is one of the 24 official languages of the European Union, yet it is also one of the least widespread with only around 5 million native speakers, about one percent of the EU population.

[wise tundra]

They seem to like the ratcheting mechanism, but they talk about how they think it's over engineered to the point that the price has increased from the extended engineering phase to the point it might not make sense for the customer. They also complain how the handle itself feels cheap (they clarify that a hard plastic handle in general feels cheap and that the reason) and would like a bit of rubber feel to it

[manic torrent]

I mean, that's pretty much bang on - It wasn't made to be affordable per se.

[supple lotus]

There is a earthquake on my city rn

[vapid smelt]

cool

[red breach]

It's a vanity product. Stuff in this class exists in every market, especially the tech one. I think they looked for low hanging fruit ripe for disruption, and a pc-focused ratcheting driver was something they could pull off as a luxury item for under $100. It's not... bad, it makes sense, but like.... I'm not paying big bucks for a screwdriver no matter how nice it is

[red breach]

stay safe!!

exactly.. it wasnt made to be affordable... it wasnt made to be the best... it was made to be exactly what linus wanted, and however much it ended up costing, he knew he would get his money back because he knows how well his merch sells, and as long as he didnt get railed in the reviews of it, he would make his money back, and more

[red breach]

oh this recently happened, glad you're ok

[vapid smelt]

when i had my 5.7 earthquake it woke me up then i just went back to bed

[supple lotus]

I have 7.4 rn

[red breach]

bingo! it's not even a bad product or project either as far as merch crap goes

compared to others in it's class (being youtuber vanity screwdriver sets), however, I'd much rather the style of multi-driver set GN sells (conveniently for a bit less money than the LTT set) https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/gamersnexus-tear-down-toolkit

[fossil frost]

there was a 5.4 in the uk a while ago... i was sat up playing games at 1am... and my ex-wife (gf at the time)... was in bed... and i took my headphones off and said "how long are you gonna be getting comfy for, youre taking the piss now"... thinking it was her moving about in the bed causing the bed to shake 😄

[red breach]

the real answer is "go to harbor freight and spend $8" https://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/screwdrivers-nutdrivers/screwdrivers-screwdriver-sets/screwdriver-set-32-piece-61259.html

[fossil frost]

for a screwdriver for working with computers, literally any magnetic driver with replacable bits is fine, because you are never going to kill the bits because its not like you are power driving stuff into the wall with them, torque is never gonna be high... literally anything at all will do

[red breach]

I wish I could post images. https://www.harborfreight.com/media/catalog/product/cache/9fc4a8332f9638515cd199dd0f9238da/6/1/61259_W4.jpg

$8. all you'd ever need in terms of screwdrivers to work on a PC, laptop, or small household appliances. and the kit includes a storage box to put it all in. FOR $8.

[manic torrent]

and yet, people buy the LTT screwdriver. In huge numbers.

I hate those bloody moulded boxes. ech

[red breach]

Listen, if you've got the money for it, spend it how you want!

[manic torrent]

but I realise most people don't have a massive rolling toolbox

I

[red breach]

I'm a "$50 black plastic cabinet" kinda guy for all of my tools

mostly because I'm a broke 25 year old who grew up with a dad.... who grew up with a single mom. No multi generational tool lineage for me, lots of HF "junk" that's served me well over my decade or so of buying tools

[full fossil]

JavaScript is out of heap, I can't believe i work here

[dreamy rose]

[red breach]

I want to get myself a cart but I can't justify the $500+ even a cheap one costs. Maybe I get one secondhand someday

[fossil frost]

people also buy a cheapo energy drink at about a 20x markup, with good marketing, because they got logan paul to promote it... influencer power is quite large

[manic torrent]

Ah yes. I did at least get a kick start, but most of my tools are mine now. I am 41 though. And at 25 my toolbox was relatively well kitted, but cheap!

[red breach]

my maternal grandfather had a beautiful vintage craftsman set. Still pissed my cokehead uncle took them and let them rust in his shed

nothing fancy, just a nice pegboard full of heavy-weight american hand tools.

[manic torrent]

I mean, I grew up with two parents, but I no longer speak to them, so you know, you pays your money, you takes your chances 🙂

do minecraft moders make a good amount of money? OwO

[summer gulch]

Isn’t there a chat for cryptocurrency?…

[timid meadow]

Not from what ive heard. Unless your directly hired by the big devs

Im sure certain pack makers make enough to get by on in donos if their work is popular enough.

[manic torrent]

Ehhhhh even then

[unkempt widget]

no
most do it as a hobby

with no income

sometimes people get a trickle of income by forcing people to download through links that have ads in them

[full fossil]

awwww :[

[full fossil]

so your saying i should just make a new game instead?

[timid meadow]

You shouldn't make any game with the goal of profit. Game design is a hobby till long after your first one drops. Unless youve got a team behind that first one

And even then

[unkempt widget]

though realistically how much money would you make from that

are you looking to leave your current job? lmao

[full fossil]

ofc xP money is only so i wouldn't starve XD
i have really good game idea OwO
my favorite games:
modded minecraft, terraria, skyrim,
i really wanna make a game inspired by them,
i can already see the progression system in my head, game goal, the challenge , and how much fun it would be fun with friends, i just need to make it 😭

[full fossil]

ofc XD my job sucks

[timid meadow]

If any of you future game devs want an idea, give me phantom abyss in VR please. Or Spelunky first person vr

[unkempt widget]

you play modded minecraft?

[full fossil]

at work, yes XD

[unkempt widget]

💀

[timid meadow]

Hopefully the ue vr injector drops soon

[unkempt widget]

does minecraft work on linux?

[full fossil]

whats phantom abyss? OwO

[mental kraken]

Yes

[full fossil]

if u asked such questions again, i will drown you :V

[timid meadow]

Do you have gamepass? Its a first person temple runner thing. Its sweet

[full fossil]

im gonna google it XD

[full fossil]

looks interesting, i never played any runner games XD

[full fossil]

@unkempt widget im joking xD

[timid meadow]

Its technically early access right now. Devs say they have more important stuff to do then vr but like...in terms of vr is is a complete game as is. Drop vr now, then update it later

[unkempt widget]

ngl i kinda expected it to not work tbh

but who am i to say

[graceful burrow]

Well, does it?

[full fossil]

its java :V java can run on my rgb boots

[full fossil]

🔪

[unkempt widget]

but can it run on linux?

[graceful burrow]

There are few things nowadays that can't run on linux

[unkempt widget]

ac runs through our lights, but you can't use linux on ac power

[graceful burrow]

I said few not nothing

That's just a stupid observation tbh

[full fossil]

:[

[plush rivet]

? Why would a OS use DC power?

I don’t use Linux so I could be wrong

[unkempt widget]

it was an example

[graceful burrow]

It was an extremely poor example that very obviously just confuses people

[unkempt widget]

our computers use dc power, that's what a power supply is for

[unkempt widget]

that was the point, to confuse peopl

[plush rivet]

I was gonna say lol

[graceful burrow]

L tbh

[graceful burrow]

Just don't take what they seriously tbh

They're just shitposting

[plush rivet]

I was like how the hell does an OS determine AC DC conversions lol

i'll take that as a no

damn you run minecraft on a vm?

[fossil frost]

Statistically, there are very few things that DONT run on linux (as long as you include derivatives like android)

[mental kraken]

Well they can run on Linux but that doesn't mean they run well

[full fossil]

i will run u in a vm

come to my server :V but only one person can come, cuz its lagging

and do the farming for me >:[

[fossil frost]

wtf... how is it lagging? i run my kids minecraft server in a docker container limited to 2 cores and 2gb of ram and it runs like a dream for me and all 3 of them on it at the same time

[full fossil]

my entire persona revolves around just talking about linux cus im cool like that

[fossil frost]

you could run a simple minecraft server on a fucking rubber duck's squeaker...

[full fossil]

its like 500 mods XD

[fossil frost]

then its not the minecraft server thats the problem, its you that is the problem

[plush rivet]

I think you found your problem

Tbh playing with that many you realize your gonna play like 2% of that content

[full fossil]

it is minecraft problem >:[ cuz its using only ONE CORE

some people like minecraft mods

[full fossil]

it doesn't supports mods xP

[plush rivet]

you can save a good amount of money that way

[full fossil]

only plugins, i think

[unkempt widget]

use different aio

[plush rivet]

Why exactly that one is fine

[sweet jetty]

Sounds silly but I CANT RUN ROBLOX ON IT FOR MY LIFE

Istg

[unkempt widget]

i thought msi aio are shit

[sweet jetty]

I needed it to play with an old friend

[fossil frost]

AIO is fine, unless they wanna go for the liquid freezer 2 360

[plush rivet]

No? That’s personal opinion they are perfectly fine

[unkempt widget]

pumps?

[full fossil]

lmao xD use roblox studio thing

[pine gale]

@plush rivet @fossil frost Thank you greatly appreciated. @unkempt widget what AIO would you reccomend it sounds lame but I wanted one that tells the temps on the motherboard lol.

[fossil frost]

same pump as every other AIO

[plush rivet]

Ignore that the AIO is fine

[sweet jetty]

Roblox studio is for game development

[unkempt widget]

still overpriced

[full fossil]

and launching the game on linux :V
tho it just uses wine, so u could also use lutris directly

[sweet jetty]

Tried both

[fossil frost]

liquid freezer 2 is the only AIO better than most AIOs, especially because of its offset mount

[sweet jetty]

Literally every method on the internet

[full fossil]

i did too, and it worked, try again >:[

[plush rivet]

It’s a 360mm what are you expecting

[sweet jetty]

Huh, interesting

I game on my mac now so happy allie

[full fossil]

try this
https://lutris.net/games/roblox/

[sweet jetty]

That sounds cursed but its actually not bad

[full fossil]

i see xD

[unkempt widget]

do you need an msi aio for it for temps to show up on mobo?

[plush rivet]

ok I’m convinced you just have a personal problem with MSI

[pine gale]

No I dont believe so was just going msi to match the MOBO.

[unkempt widget]

i like msi lol

[plush rivet]

Again the AIO is fine

[fossil frost]

no, my NZXT AIO integrates with my MSI motherboard and its temp/pump speed/fan speed reporting just fine

[pine gale]

lol alright again thank you all so much super helpful honestly.

[unkempt widget]

it's overpriced, 360 rads don't go for 310 dollars

[plush rivet]

Are you paying for it? If he wanted to ask for a cheaper option he would have asked

[unkempt widget]

what are you going to use the computer for

[plush rivet]

it doesn’t matter if they feel like buying it

[fossil frost]

that doesnt matter, they are buying what they want to buy with their own money

[pine gale]

Hard Daily gaming up to 12 hours usually on all types of games.

[plush rivet]

Once again you are fine.

[fossil frost]

and? they asked if the parts will fit together... which they will

[unkempt widget]

wow i'm just tryna be helpful

[fossil frost]

being helpful is if they ask... forcing your opinion on them without them asking, is interfering

[fossil frost]

never forgetting arguments you have at all... yes... that is very pathetic

[plush rivet]

I usually argue, get over it and move on

too much work getting annoyed at people

[unkempt widget]

i get over it, but whenever i see that person's name, i get reminded of it

[plush rivet]

some of the people I argue with tbh become really good friends

[plush rivet]

Fair yeah lol

idk I never hold grudges I don’t like doing that

Good question

I haven’t checked on AMD in a minute

These new Ryzen 7000X3D are the fastest gaming processors in the world. With up to 14% faster performance than the previous generation. The AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors with 3D V-Cache technology will be available for Socket AM5 starting February 2023
so this month

[fossil frost]

march/april from what amd said, then unsaid

[unkempt widget]

they said it was feb 14, but that was a mistake

[fossil frost]

it was feb, then march/april. then it just went away

[unkempt widget]

damn we will never see 7000 x3d ever

do i mount the cooler on first b4 the radiator

i mounted the radiator to the front of the case first, then mounted the cooler.. because you need to mount the fans and the radiator to the case at the same time, because the screws pass through both to secure both at the same time

If I might add… most people really do NOT want to self host the absolute nightmare of what we call “email servers”. At least if you want to have any ability to send emails to others. Completely internal and not exposed to the Internet is probably fine. But otherwise, it’s a grade-AAA first-class ticket to frustrationville hosting the never-ending carnival of whack-a-mole.

[gilded plinth]

I selfhost everything I can except for email, it's such a pain it's not even worth it

[verbal wharf]

I also avoid self-hosting email... I don't want it to "Just work... until it doesn't" and then have to fix it myself. Not worth it when a third party can do it for like 3 euros a month.

I use Vimexx, they are not the greatest, but pretty cheap. I use them for mail hosting and domain name. However my nameservers are configured to cloudflare because I use their api to dynamically update ip-addresses when my ip changes

4.50 euros, but there are cheaper options

one server i did it like 200 times out of 10k messages
2% of my messages were "your mom" jokes

I can't find any stories of the 737 crash. The media are ignoring a commercial airliner crash. Pathetic!

Can I get a medium coke and a Whopper?

Looking for some gym headphones - any recommendations?

[lapis zinc]

My sister uses Airpods

She works out in them and they don't fall out

[full fossil]

i wanna host tor nodes, but i should probably ask support if they allow that XD

[full fossil]

I got AirPods 2nd gen - looking for something over ear with noise cancelling

[lapis zinc]

My Sony headphones are noise cancelling but I don't remember the model name. They're comfortable and have good sound

[latent cove]

Hello

[lapis zinc]

It's called the Sony ZX and it's USD10

[latent cove]

Hey i have a question

[lapis zinc]

Proceed

[latent cove]

is source engine's code been leaked?

[lapis zinc]

Idk

[latent cove]

Because i saw a github page called Advanced Source Engine

[full fossil]

why would u want that when unreal engine 5 source code is open OwO

[latent cove]

https://github.com/nillerusr/source-engine

[lapis zinc]

OwO

[latent cove]

HL2 Source Ports

[full fossil]

UwU

[fossil frost]

yeah, in 2018, and its not in a usable state, and anybody who does use it, will get absolutely boned by valve

[lapis zinc]

I'm not an internet sleuth, so what does OwO and UwU mean

[latent cove]

Look a the github link i sent

[fossil frost]

yes, i found the same link via google with a very simple search... you can get the source code, but if you do use it for anything at all, you are gonna get crushed into the ground

[latent cove]

Not if you are a AAA Dev

[latent cove]

but i do understand what you are saying

Also Postal III best source game

Does anyone know a good website to buy replacement Dell laptop keyboard keys?

[full fossil]

Dell key caps killed the chat

I'm pissed at dell to an extent so that is my take atm.

[olive sand]

Hello

So my CPU just jumped to 100% and my fans are pumping pretty hard. I was watching one video of youtube when this happened. Any idea what is going on?

[full fossil]

I left my crystal ball at home unfortunately xD

[fossil frost]

check task manager, and see which process is hogging all your cpu...

[keen wolf]

I just broke my keys so I just want replacements

[severe quarry]

Hi, I've been seeing this more and more lately (especially after the arrival of the 11) a lot of PCs have secure boot turned on in the bios (uefi) , but secure boot doesn't load - most of the time you just turn it off and on or reset the keys, but I'm still wondering why this is happening, I don't think it's the 11s are problem but rather a uefi problem - but the problem is that it happens on boards from relatively many manufacturers (I've already encountered it with Asus, Lenovo etc), does anyone have more info on the topic?

[full fossil]

secure boot means the os wont boot if you change the drive

keys are mated to the os drive and the hardware

[severe quarry]

i know what secure boot means - i was asking about general problem

[sweet jetty]

Could be just a general problem

Maybe reset the mb by removing the battery for a bit?

[full fossil]

what general problem?

it being enabled by default?

[severe quarry]

as i said i know how to fix this, but this is happening on the most of the motherboards (i or my friends had)

[severe quarry]

the secure boot is "enabled" in the uefi but the status of the secure boot is "inactive"

[full fossil]

no idea i havent played around with it

[sweet jetty]

Idk, doesn't really happen with me tbh

Maybe change the registry to make tpm and secureboot non required

[severe quarry]

like there are some apps and games that requires secure boot a tpm 2.0 on windows 11 - so this dont fix the problem

[sweet jetty]

I see

[gilded plinth]

I hosted 2 exits (1 Gbps each) for almost a year, not worth the trouble.

Maybe a relay or a bridge would be fine but I just gave up with hosting Tor stuff

no embed bruh

[polar fern]

Viral horror? We’ve been doing that for three years now.

[verbal wharf]

Thats really cheap

[lethal copper]

I've been thinking about my future PC upgrades and realised the only real problem I have with my setup is the noise

How quiet can I make my PC and server which are under and on my desk respectively?

[dusty rune]

replace hdd with ssds, lower fan rpm or buy quieter ones

[lethal copper]

I'm currently running too many cheap jet-engine sounding fans in my PC and my server is on stock fans while it doesn't enough to need them

[lethal copper]

Why would I have HDDs as my boot drive in 2023?

[dusty rune]

read again

[polar fern]

🇹🇷🇸🇾💔😑

[lethal copper]

I feel like if I get some be quiet! Fans for both it will make them a lot quieter

[dusty rune]

theyre fine

[polar fern]

Boot drive sounds like a charity event

[lethal copper]

Also I feel like 6 case fans is too much

[full fossil]

What kind of trouble did you get? OwO

[dusty rune]

not really

[lethal copper]

I should probably downsize to 3 intake 1 exhaust

[dusty rune]

yeah thats fine

could go 2 exhaust

[polar fern]

6 fans too many? 🤔

[dusty rune]

https://youtu.be/fOYCDOJ0plU

[lethal copper]

When 3 of them are cheap RGB fans and the other 3 are stock case fans maybe

[polar fern]

🤔

[lethal copper]

I might try to experiment with fan curves first just in case

Where do I edit that? I am on Ubuntu

[dusty rune]

if you want the quietest, you can go the phanteks t30 or noctua nf a12

[dusty rune]

bios

[polar fern]

Curvy fans

[copper lance]

is 4090 good enough for coolmathgames

[lethal copper]

Really?

[dusty rune]

yes

idk about on linux but i know bios is universal

[lethal copper]

Only if it's not bottlenecked by the CPU. You need a strong CPU like Elbrus 16C and not one of those weak intels

[polar fern]

Uh

“Fan curve”

[copper lance]

ok

[gilded plinth]

No real "trouble", just a lot of abuse emails and IP reports. Considering what people on the mailing list say, I feel that I was just lucky

If I wanted to host something public today I'd probably check out hosting some mirror

[white musk]

Hi

[full fossil]

Oh lol, i should probably get a different vps for that i guess XD

What is XD

?

its kind of like a laugh

Who would win in a fight: 5 adult Linus or 100 child sized Steve Burkes

Discuss

[timid meadow]

Nope your fine. System ram and vram are different

[dusty rune]

1st

also, do you really need an aio for that

fine

i wouldnt use a 6950xt with a 650w psu

huh?

how does the performance of the 6950xt matter here

i said the psu is too low wattage

didnt mention the 3070

[long briar]

650w is quite low, but 5600 is also very power efficient

[dusty rune]

i wouldnt live life on the edge like that

[long briar]

you'll probably be fine actually, but iirc the 850w df isn't much more

[dusty rune]

yes the 6950xt beats a 3090 in gaming at times

[long briar]

is 400w not enough for it?

have 250w for cpu motherboard and drives

• you can spike up to around 750w before it trips

[dusty rune]

wtf do you mean way better graphics

[graceful burrow]

That's not how it works kek

[dusty rune]

the graphics depend on the game

[long briar]

No

nvidia is strictly worse, but 6950 costs more

the only reason you'd go nvidia atm would be for cuda support...

[dusty rune]

idk what video ure looking at bruh id suggest to quit watching it

[sonic barn]

you get better driver support, more features and rt cores

amd doesn't have the implementation for ray tracing really

[long briar]

rt is a gimmick, features is similar if not worse than the competing software aka Radeon software and drivers are kinda shit for both sides

[polar steeple]

Logitech unifying receivers blow chunks

[dusty rune]

not better driver support

[sonic barn]

movies would say otherwise, same with upscaling like dlss

[dusty rune]

fsr is on par with dlss

[sonic barn]

no??

[polar steeple]

Yes

FSR kicks ass

[long briar]

fsr competes with dlss pretty well

[gilded plinth]

fsr is pretty cool

[sonic barn]

fsr can be ran on nvidia cards too

[long briar]

and video playback can be done by anything with a decoder

[graceful burrow]

Fsr rules

[sonic barn]

its a sampling method

vs a upscaling method

[polar steeple]

And?

[dusty rune]

fym no

[polar steeple]

FSR being available to Nvidia too doesn't make it any less important to AMD lol

[sonic barn]

nvidia had the same fsr thing for a long time, its just increasing the sharpness of an image

[long briar]

I mean look at thr shitshow nvidia control panel and geforce experience is compared to radeon software

[long briar]

completely understating how great it works and that's unfortunate

[dusty rune]

and yet FSR is still giving the same results as DLSS

[long briar]

nvidia couldn't beat an "old feature" after hyping it up sm?

[weak bridge]

truth

[sonic barn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRS4lo90Pls&t=582s

[polar steeple]

Neither DLSS or FSR is simply sharpening the image bruh

[sonic barn]

give me a video of that

[weak bridge]

FSR = DLSS = play at lower resolution upscale to higher resolution

[polar steeple]

Simulated upscale even

[sonic barn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olpH-qcxJOE&t=12s

[weak bridge]

both are basically the same thing to the user, with minor differences here and there that shouldnt alone sway a purchasing decision in either direction.

[dusty rune]

https://youtu.be/w85M3KxUtJk

[polar steeple]

Windows wtf why can't I rename Bluetooth devices

[dusty rune]

1st

[sonic barn]

ok then yeah

still nvidia has better support and drivers

[dusty rune]

get the 6950xt

[plush rivet]

Not all the time

[dusty rune]

the drivers arent better though

[weak bridge]

3070 is like $380 on newegg

[plush rivet]

Nivida has drivers just as trash and AMD has trash drivers

[polar steeple]

Huh

[plush rivet]

Ain’t no way

that’s the price of a 3060

[long briar]

shiittttt drivers are broken every 4 releases or so on nvidia

[plush rivet]

Wouldn’t say that either

[long briar]

and it's windows too, have fun on linux
