Yeah its alright ngl

[full fossil]

im just an amd cpu guy

[unkempt nest]

I went from an R5 3500 + 1650 Super to an R5 5600x + 6700XT

idc what intel has ill use an amd cpu no matter what

[wind pulsar]

Cool story ig

[unkempt nest]

[dreamy rose]

Design fault.

[unkempt nest]

but nah brand loyalty is actually dumb asf lol

[full fossil]

true thats why i be buying noctua fans

lol

[wind pulsar]

Doesn't matter, still user error

One that could be avoided with better designed cables, but still user error

[unkempt nest]

I bought Artic P14s to use as intake and then used the two 120mm that came with my case as exhaust

[dusty rune]

both

[wind pulsar]

I'm not discussing this with you either, because you're that kind of deluded person that would rather jump off a cliff than admit they're wrong

[dusty rune]

also, burning cables was like 50 cases max out of thousands

[full fossil]

arctic makes good fans for sure

[primal cairn]

It's like saying a meteor killing millions of people is the result of human error

[idle nymph]

I went from an 2600 and a 570 to a 6800 and a 5700x

[dusty rune]

huh?

[wind pulsar]

What the fuck are you talking about

[dusty rune]

not the same at all lmfao

[wind pulsar]

What shit anology was that

[dusty rune]

users bended the cable and didnt fully plug it in, how is that causing a meteor to fall

[full fossil]

lol

[idle nymph]

Btw what are the best Fan brand? Noctua is quite good, i use two of them in my pc and they lowered my temp by 20c (not even a joke lmao💀)

[dusty rune]

actually delusional

[dusty rune]

phanteks t30 is the best 120mm fan although its 30mm

[full fossil]

water

[primal cairn]

Oh I thought the reason was the cable was curved and that caused the melting

[dreamy rose]

Technically, but its a Design fault first and Foremost. the fact ppl had plugged it in but it never was fully inserted in the first place is a pretty big fault in itself. only thing stopping it is the fact ppl know about it, cant say that about 10-20 years into the future

[full fossil]

if you ask me im always gonna say noctua, so maybe dont ask me lol

[idle nymph]

I aint paying so much for water cooling

[unkempt nest]

I convinced my roommate to upgrade his 570 to a 6600XT not much before I built my new rig. The 570 and 580s still hold up surprisingly well nowadays, but are definitely at the end of their perceivable lifetime.

[idle nymph]

Alr

[wind pulsar]

The fact that their cable burned was because of a HUMAN error that could've been partially avoided if Nvidia, a company lead by HUMANS would've designed their cable better

There's no human involvement in an asteroid crashing down and killing half a country, where does that correlate

Should I play World or XIV tonight?

[dusty rune]

what world

[idle nymph]

The 570 yes, the 580 can still play in 1440p médium and some 1080p high

[primal cairn]

My thoughts was "That shouldn't be the problem if they made the cable not melt when bent, since everyone have their cables bent to a certain angle"

if a meteor hit the earth everyone would be dead tho not half a country

Well, the government could have saved them all by ... Idk

[unkempt nest]

My next build is gonna be a full send, top of the line, water cooled monster. Quote me on that. Although I don’t plan to build a new rig for at minimum another 3 years lol.

[median idol]

Ah pub chat being pub chat. What a beautiful sight

[dusty rune]

no...

[primal cairn]

Anyway my bad, stop with that please 🥺

[full fossil]

hot take water cooling isnt worth it but it looks nicer

[dreamy rose]

the US ppl will handle it by shooting it with guns dw

[unkempt nest]

Yep. They’re kind of value beasts right now. If I were on a budget I’d probably pick one up used.

[dusty rune]

not that hot tbh

[primal cairn]

Why not f22

[unkempt nest]

But the silence bro

[primal cairn]

Chinese spy meteor

[full fossil]

the silence is all i need to prove my point

[dreamy rose]

gun rights. not jet rights

[wind pulsar]

I don't care, user error
It's not like melting cables were exclusive to 12vhpwr either, there were also PLENTY pci-e 8-pins that melted because dumb fucks can't plug their cables in correctly

[full fossil]

noctua on top keeping water cooling off the streets

[dusty rune]

id rather buy some t30s than noctuas

[idle nymph]

Getting one to upgrade my mom pc into a gaming pc and secondary rig

[full fossil]

better price for performance for sure

[unkempt nest]

tbf the way gpus are looking the only way we’re gonna be able to fit them into our cases anymore is by water cooling them lmfao

[idle nymph]

I love noctua color ngl

[primal cairn]

So I'm buying a zotac

[unkempt nest]

40 series looks tiny when it’s got a water block on it lol

[primal cairn]

Thanks guys

[idle nymph]

Buying a New case for gpu soon

[wind pulsar]

The reason why we monkey brains roam the planet today is LITERALLY because a massive fucking asteroid hit the planet and wiped out 90% of the earths population, one of our ancestors being lucky enough to have survived big rock bonking, so that is factually wrong

[median idol]

Here's my take as someone who does water cooling it's s an expensive hobby within another hobby that can be expensive. If anything most people either do it for silence, looks, or for the absolute hell of it. It only really benefits high end hardware TBH

[unkempt nest]

Nice. I’ve been looking around the used market in interest of building a secondary “sleeper” pc in an old case lol

[idle nymph]

Well have to buy a whole ass pc case for gpu one day

[dreamy rose]

huh. i just thought about it for a second, why DIDNT anyone catch the fact the thing wasn't plugged in the whole way in the first place? it melted, it was clearly visible

[idle nymph]

Its gonna be à sleep er pc lmao

[unkempt nest]

I love mid towers but at this point I’m not gonna be able to fit anything in it lol

[idle nymph]

Fr

[idle nymph]

Look at noctua gpu to laugh

They are massive (i stg if someone make a thats what she said joke)

[full fossil]

dawg an asteroid travelling at 10s of thousands of kilometers per hour has enough inertia to wipe us out if it was the size of a football field. i cant quote it specifically but i know its a fact

[unkempt nest]

Yeah. As much as I would actually love to have a full send sleeper, I don’t have that kinda budget lol. Still technically a sleeper if it runs way faster than it looks like it should.

[dreamy rose]

towers are for Workstations and super expensive VR Rigs. or Arcade machines.

[wind pulsar]

Because it's enough for one or two pins to be off by a milimetre to melt the entire thing

And usually people don't even look at their pc, how would they notice apart from the smell when it already happened

[unkempt nest]

Eventually I just wanna have a rack mounted system in a completely separate room, Linus style. But I have to get my life together before that happens lol

[wind pulsar]

I guarantee you that's not the case

[wispy marsh]

get my life together
Not happening

[unkempt nest]

Are you guys still on this damn power connector Bs? 😂

[dreamy rose]

i mean like when searching for the point of Failure

[idle nymph]

Its in à old Dell case, ill put a 3600 and a 580 in it if i got to change cpu and gpu and mobo, otherwise im snatching an 6600xt to put in

[unkempt nest]

get my life together finish my degree and get a big boy job lmao

[wind pulsar]

If an asteroid a diametre of six miles can't wipe out the entire earths population, a footballfield asteroid won't either

If I can get away with it I can stuff all my old hp prebuilt parts in it, minus the 1650 Super cause I gave it to my brother for Christmas (man needed an upgrade dude was still running a 960)

Then have fun stating more bullshit facts then, even though 'stating a fact' is unironically the same thing as 'guaranteeing' someone that something will happen

I’m that age where I know what a floppy disk is and what it was used for, but never actually had to use one myself

[manic torrent]

oh wow, yeah nah I used a LOT of floppies.

like I literally submitted assignments on floppies

[dreamy rose]

i have gotten close but not used a floppy.

[wispy marsh]

Which one is like ER/MHW?

[wind pulsar]

Ah no, I just graduated very early

[unkempt nest]

Every time we find old surplus equipment at my work, I mess with my boss and call them “3D printed save icons” lmfao

[timid meadow]

I never had to use floppies for anything important, but ive worked with them to recover data and i have a few in my storage area waiting for a use

[junior tide]

my class was the last to do comp sci assignments on floppies, they switched to usb drives afterwards

this was like primary school

[wind pulsar]

If I hadn't graduate ahead of time, I would've gratuated around 2018

Has anyone used a zip drive? Apple was pushing these for a while back in the 90s and early 2000s

the world really has the lame ass systems where you gotta go to 3 schools huh. why cant we do it the right way with primary and high instead?

Actually talking to a doc about shit you’re struggling with.

Source: me not finding out I had adhd until after I was 18

[manic torrent]

I was diagnosed when I was 40

[timid meadow]

I got diagnosed after a series of severe outburts of anger as a child, followed by 2 weeks in a psyc ward. There's an abusive childhood linked to mine tho so diagnosis came early weather i wanted it or not.

[unkempt nest]

point proven

[idle nymph]

I dont think i have ahd and the tism, but idk, maybe i should see a psych

[unkempt nest]

GANG

[idle nymph]

The tism is a funny name ngl

[unkempt nest]

adhd and the tism overlap a lot

[manic torrent]

but I also have the usual childhood trauma, particularly as a child of boomers

[full fossil]

dude was walking among the dinosaurs when he was diagnosed was your doctor fred flintstone

[timid meadow]

Tism is a spectrum that includes adhd

[idle nymph]

What are Symptom of the tism?

[full fossil]

i have aspergers and adhd

[unkempt nest]

Bob I’m gonna DM you a meme cause I can’t post it here

[dreamy rose]

nah he was sniffing Wafers at Fairchild

[full fossil]

lol

[manic torrent]

no, but they are often found together

[manic torrent]

Aspergers is autism (ASD)

[full fossil]

i know

i didnt know until i was 20

and i am 20

[unkempt nest]

the only reason I suspect I may have a flavor of the tism is because I find myself counting bullets in fps games

[dreamy rose]

tisim causes vaccines.

[timid meadow]

According to google

A pervasive developmental disorder characterized by severe deficits in social interaction and communication, by an extremely limited range of activities and interests, and often by the presence of repetitive, stereotyped behaviors.

So as far as im concerned, even if not yet medically, id consider most adhd a form of high functioning tism.

[manic torrent]

ehhhh, maybe. I play on authentic with no HUD and I still don't bother 😄

[manic torrent]

as I said - they are very commonly found together.

[unkempt nest]

[dreamy rose]

what a lame playstyle.

[manic torrent]

playing it on the hardest difficulty?

otherwise it's a pure turkey shoot

[dreamy rose]

if you dont have a heath counter/bar burnt into your vision are you really gaming?

[manic torrent]

haha no, sniper elite.

although I am tempted to do tarkov, because that is the obvious next step

If you wanna commit sewer slide play Overwatch. Youll at least have fun sometimes

[manic torrent]

I played TES back at the time

[dreamy rose]

thats it. thats ALL it is

[unkempt nest]

Absolute joke of a “tactical shooter” lmao

[manic torrent]

I like sniper elite, because no other game has the ability to shoot people in the nuts and show you in great detail.

[dreamy rose]

i do like the lean mechanic tho. wish it was more common

[unkempt nest]

When someone can jiggle peak a corner while full spraying an AK and win a gunfight against someone holding that angle, then it’s not a fkin tac shooter lmao

[dreamy rose]

mine got to over lvl 200

[manic torrent]

oh, and I played far cry 5 and new dawn a LOT. far cry 6.... ehhhhhhhhhh

it just wasn't compelling

[unkempt nest]

Siege is one of those games that’s like if you weren’t playing on release, then there’s really no point in starting now

[dreamy rose]

if you can cover your body behind a wall in a doorway thats a tactic

[unkempt nest]

Garbage software

[dreamy rose]

all software is garbage.

[unkempt nest]

Yeah a CoD tactic lmao

[manic torrent]

the story in far cry 5 was so much better - I mean it was clearly insane garbage, but it was absolutely believable. and you were operating on a local scale. Far cry 6 is supposed to be this whole country, but it's literally not big enough.

[unkempt nest]

Yeah games that use third party software for socials are just… bad

[manic torrent]

the scale is all wrong, it's both too big and too small at the same time - it ends up feeling a bit stupid like just cause. but just cause leant in, and is like.... yeah it's stupid, so what!

[dreamy rose]

it means "Task failed successfully"

[unkempt nest]

Nah there’s literally a bug in siege rn that makes parties not work half the time

[dreamy rose]

it wouldnt of failed then.

[manic torrent]

I love seeing xbox racers on forza and their wheels just going everywhere as they mash their controllers trying to turn.

I race with.... a keyboard.

[dreamy rose]

i like using arrow keys to race

I am WAY better with the keyboard than with a controller.

[unkempt nest]

I wish racing games would pick up again

[dreamy rose]

and Z to go

[unkempt nest]

Everything is either too Arcady or too Simulation style

I need like a Forza Motorsport 4 type beat

[dreamy rose]

Simracers kinda suck ngl

[unkempt nest]

I need a racing game with actual progression instead of being able to have the best car within an hour

[dreamy rose]

i mean really what have they done for Gaming in general?

[unkempt nest]

I mean Sim racing has done a lot for actual motor sports

[dreamy rose]

but how did it get to the point of being a sim in the first place?

[unkempt nest]

I would genuinely not even bother playing the game

[unkempt nest]

The same way Mil-sim games came about

People want as close to the experience as they can get without real risk

[loud mist]

/96 is curium on the periodic table if you guys were wondering

[dreamy rose]

people would have needed to realise that games can do it. and when did they find that out?

[unkempt nest]

Idk ask a developer bro lmao

[dreamy rose]

the Arcades.

[wind pulsar]

I graduated with 98/100 points, I don't have a lot of clue what 3.97 is supposed to represent lmao

[dreamy rose]

this is why we stick with Deathmatch Classic

[unkempt widget]

just below a straight A

[unkempt nest]

3.97 GPA. Basically straight As with the exception of one B my first year lol.

[dreamy rose]

i'm not talking about siege. you got it in the Complete pack

[manic torrent]

everything gets taken as far as it can go. it's what humans do

[wind pulsar]

Ah, I'm fairly sure that's about equivalent to around 95 points in my school assuming the quality of study is the same

[dreamy rose]

the public realized through games like Virtua Racing, Daytona USA. and Sega Rally Championship. Daytona being the one to show the world what 60 FPS could do.

[wind pulsar]

I can't just say 'It's bad, because my school had A+es', that wouldn't make a lot of sense if a school doesn't use A+

[manic torrent]

sega racing being a LOT more of a sim than daytona, but still nothing close to a sim today

[unkempt widget]

roughly what percentage do students get an A in your school?

[unkempt widget]

@unkempt nest

[manic torrent]

the problem with this is that it also depends on the school etc etc. If you are poor and go to a shit school, you're screwed

[wind pulsar]

My school did, requirement for As in a test is 90 points and A+ is 98

[unkempt nest]

90% average - 100% average was simply considered an A for us

[dreamy rose]

not only did Daytona use the Model 2 so well to make people dream of what could be done. it was also the very Rig Sim racers dedicate their wallets to.

[unkempt nest]

A 90 and a 100 held the same weight

[unkempt widget]

also depends on area

[manic torrent]

yeah for similar reasons

[unkempt widget]

some parts of the us have much better schools, even if they are poorer

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, doesn't with my school, 90 is A, 98 is A+

[unkempt widget]

but that's a rare case

[unkempt nest]

Idk tbh. I think I was in like the top 5-10%ish of my class? I don’t remember it was a couple years ago now lol

[dreamy rose]

hahah try that with Rhythm Heaven

[wind pulsar]

Between 1 and 50 points was treated the same though, between 1 and 50 was straight up F

[unkempt widget]

i have a classmate who's the dumbest fuck i know with a 4.13 GPA

[unkempt nest]

1-59 was an F for us.

[dreamy rose]

i think it should be obvious

[unkempt widget]

i'm just saying - grades aren't the only thing that matter

[unkempt nest]

It depends on how it’s calculated. Weighted vs Unweighted, grade scale, etc…

[dreamy rose]

grades can be paid for

[unkempt widget]

he just got 3 A+'s and 5 A's

[unkempt nest]

I think weighted I had a 4.3 or some shit cause I took college classes but ye

[unkempt widget]

idk what credits are, we don't do that here, in fact we don't even have GPA, i just calculated it rn

[hollow pulsar]

I wish recess counted for something. I’d be graded on a slide.

[unkempt widget]

bruh isn't the highest possible like a 4.33

[unkempt widget]

lol

[timid meadow]

I was a gifted kid then school got hard and since i was "gifted" i never learned to study and barely graduated then dropped out of community college

[unkempt nest]

sumn like that idk

[unkempt widget]

class behaviour is the most bs grade criteria tbh

[dreamy rose]

i wish hours spent gaming counted too

[fossil frost]

i know a few people who got incredible grades at school, but... they had absolutely no ability to interact with other people, so completely failed at life

[unkempt nest]

like I said I don’t really remember, none of that shit mattered after I started college lol

[wind pulsar]

Our gradings didn't matter that much anyway, since if you don't achieve the class average you get a disciplinary warning to do better, if you don't within the next test, you're out of school

Thing is, the average was around 95 points

[unkempt widget]

wow

[wind pulsar]

So to survive, you had to make sure the entire class fucks up

[wispy marsh]

Sounds elitist to me

[unkempt widget]

that seems like an awful lot of stress for kids

[unkempt nest]

Yeah I went to public school lmfao

[wispy marsh]

Throw a smoke bomb in there or something

[unkempt widget]

and a shit ton of competition as well

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, was some stupid rich snob private school

[unkempt widget]

lol

[wind pulsar]

Surprisingly people didn't give much of a fuck about competition

[unkempt nest]

It is surprisingly easy to meta game public school

[unkempt widget]

were there forced donations?

[wind pulsar]

They were largely happy if they were good enough to not be kicked out of school

[wispy marsh]

The smell would make your score look good

[wind pulsar]

No because you paid like $200,000 to get in in the first place

[unkempt nest]

wtf

[wind pulsar]

Sorry

[unkempt widget]

ah ok

[wind pulsar]

Per year btw

[unkempt nest]

WTF

[unkempt widget]

so roughly like 25% of students get kicked out after every test?

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, there are invisible citizens of the world that we don't see

[unkempt nest]

bro my entire 4 year bachelors degree is gonna be like 80k 💀

[unkempt widget]

damn

[wind pulsar]

Ah no, generally speaking the school invests a lot where that doesn't happen

[unkempt nest]

I mean like not out of my pocket cause yanno I meta gamed shit but

That’s still fuckin wild

[wind pulsar]

So if you DO get the ultimatum to do better, you get assigned like two private teachers or someone who was willing to do it to study with you

[unkempt widget]

bruh

i swear i would not last a day in that school

[wispy marsh]

The hell of being an invisible citizen

[unkempt widget]

not because i don't have the ability, but i'll get so pissed off i start refusing to do anything

[unkempt nest]

idk I just went to public school, meta gamed it enough to get a scholarship to go to college, and then gg ez two years into college now lmfao

[wind pulsar]

They'd know you'd have that attitude fairly quickly since you do interviews at that school

So you'd probably not even get in

[unkempt widget]

i act very nicely during interviews lol

[dreamy rose]

the kinda school where you'd hear shit like this when walking in
https://youtu.be/CU1nBD8jvcQ

[wispy marsh]

It's normal

[wind pulsar]

Acting nicely gets you refused lmao

[unkempt widget]

wow ok

[wispy marsh]

Usually happens to kids of politicians, CEOs

[unkempt nest]

I just wanna know what I gotta do to send my kid to school for 200k a year 💀

[median idol]

My school has this grading system:
LF - below 50
F - 50-59
D - 60-69
C- 79-79
B- 80-89
A- 90-100+

[wispy marsh]

You don't

[unkempt widget]

btw @unkempt nest did you answer my question about how many people get an A in your class?

[wind pulsar]

They want you to be obedient enough to listen to the teachers, but want you to be yourself as much as possible

[wispy marsh]

They're born rich, that's just how it is

[dreamy rose]

Elon musk

[unkempt nest]

I think so. I don’t think As were necessarily uncommon, but they also weren’t handed out so idk

[wispy marsh]

They probably have enough to buy your city, and the next few cities over depending on how much cash they hold

[unkempt nest]

Like I can’t even mentally image 200k lmao

[wispy marsh]

They can't mentally imagine how small 200k is

[wind pulsar]

My family has been big in real estate for idk how long, so they have quite a bit saved up

[wind pulsar]

Oh yeah that's near nothing for us (at least on a yearly scale)

My fiancee went onto the same school as well and truthfully it was only 200k because we lived in the dorms

It's half if you don't

[unkempt nest]

mfw I might earn a salary of half of that amount a year lmao

[dreamy rose]

Akira's family singlehandedly responsible for the 2008 financial crisis

[wind pulsar]

That's sick

[analog quest]

2070 i7 9th gen something vs 5600x 6750xt?

[wispy marsh]

I can see that. The first time I heard of this, it was in a gathering. One of the guy's CEO does billions worth of transactions on a daily basis

[idle nymph]

Dam, i might have the tism💀

[wind pulsar]

5600X/6750XT would be much better in pretty much every way possible

[wispy marsh]

I went "what"

[dreamy rose]

All AMD is the betterbuild

[unkempt widget]

in our exam system
(Cambridge International Assessment IGCSE)
it depends per class, so for Chemistry, it would be:
A* - 80%
A - 65%
B - 51%
C - 36%
D - 31%
E - 26%
Ungraded - 0%

But for smth like business, it's this:
A* - 56%
A - 46%
B - 36%
C - 26%
D - 22%
E - 18%
Ungraded - 0%

But in my school, we just do:
A* - 85%
A - 70%
B - 60%
C - 50%
D - 40%
E - 30%
U - 0%

[analog quest]

or 12400f 6750xt?

[wispy marsh]

The dude asked his boss to be a little more thrifty

The boss proceeded to ask him if 2bil is a lot of money

[dreamy rose]

buy the Ryzen with it.

[analog quest]

bought a used aorus 6750xt for 300€

[unkempt nest]

I’m currently running 5600x + 6700XT, and I’ve pretty much haven’t run into a game I can’t run at high - ultra settings at 1440p lol

[wind pulsar]

That'd probably be a little cheaper, but you can also just go with the 5600 and 6750XT and pay less as well

[unkempt widget]

i'm pretty sure it's based off bell curve (e.g. top __% get's a, etc)

[analog quest]

what’s a good budget mobo for the 5600x

cheapest

[wind pulsar]

B550 DS3H

[unkempt nest]

Basically any B550 board

[analog quest]

👍

[wind pulsar]

That's straight up a lie btw lmao

[analog quest]

oof

[unkempt nest]

basically

[wind pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LKLwrH/asrock-b550m-hdv-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550m-hdv This thing can just barely run a 5600X for that matter

[dreamy rose]

best laptop to buy RN really be the TUF A16

[wind pulsar]

It's that dogshit

[wispy marsh]

So yeah, invisible citizens. They might be wearing a tee, slipper and pants, having the same food as you are

But they can demolish your city in a day

[unkempt nest]

I have a gigabyte B550M board and it’s literally fine lmao

[wind pulsar]

I am wearing a Togepi onesie and I stand by it

[wispy marsh]

You just ruined my mental image of you

[wind pulsar]

Yes, because on AMD they're fine

[wind pulsar]

I like cute things and it fits my hair

[unkempt widget]

a b550 chipset would definitely not work with any intel chip

[wind pulsar]

The DS3H on AMD side can relatively easily power a 5900X at full power, albeit it'll run toasty

The DS3H on Intel are straight up unuseable

[wispy marsh]

No, because in my mind a togepi + onesie is a baby/toddler's piece of clothing

[unkempt widget]

what does ds3h even mean

[wind pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/thanks-obvious-captain-thankscaptainobvious-gif-18783644

[wispy marsh]

Dark Souls III High-Definition

[unkempt widget]

wow how long did it take you to get that

[hollow pulsar]

Never until someone explained it.

[wind pulsar]

That's because I had it made KEKW

[analog quest]

why is the 5600g cheaper than the 5600?

[hollow pulsar]

NEKWaAM (Not Everyone Knows What a Acronym Means)

[wind pulsar]

It's really just a white onesie with a togepi hood

[unkempt widget]

because the 5600g gets destroyed by the 5600

[unkempt widget]

?

[wind pulsar]

Because the 5600G is effectively a 5500 with an iGPU

[wind pulsar]

Nothing, that's just a name

[analog quest]

okay, and is there a huge difference between 5600 and the x version?

[unkempt nest]

With this in mind, the 5600 and 5600x are nearly identical. 5600x just has slightly higher clocks

[wind pulsar]

No, they're nearly identical in terms of performance

[unkempt nest]

see previous message

[analog quest]

👍

[unkempt widget]

ok

[unkempt nest]

2 weeks after I bought my 5600x the 5700x dropped to the exact price I paid for the 5600x lmao

I was a lil sad

I think the only thing I would upgrade in my pc rn tho is probably ram

[wind pulsar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-pboYgSF2Q

[idle nymph]

Either i have the tism or im just a loser socially

[unkempt nest]

inb4 the government finds him

[timid meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[wind pulsar]

But I will admit that I have clothing that I probably shouldn't wear as a general sense but I still do because the fabric is soft to the touch and I like that

[idle nymph]

Damn💀 why did you do me dirty like that

[wispy marsh]

I can stand by that

[unkempt widget]

according to a website quiz, i have autism

[wind pulsar]

I just can't describe what it is because minors shan't know lol

[unkempt nest]

as far as clothing goes, I am the least materialistic person imaginable lmfao

[unkempt widget]

most trustworthy source

[unkempt nest]

My PC is probably worth more than my wardrobe

[wind pulsar]

I personally don't give a shit either as long its materials feels nice

Can be $5 or $500, idc

[deep niche]

hi

[unkempt nest]

I think the most I’ve ever spent on a single piece of clothing is $80 lmao

[wispy marsh]

Minors know "birthday suit"

[deep niche]

akira if i get rid of something cause i just kinda wanna upgrade can i get rid of something and what would it be

[wispy marsh]

I think by that definition, everyone knows "birthday suit"

[wispy marsh]

First I would rid of ||poverty||

[deep niche]

bro im an australian

[wind pulsar]

I just won't talk about the clothing I wear that would probably fall under NSFW with minors, or here in general lmao
It sounds weirder than it is, I'm not quite sure if it's NSFW or not, but I'm not taking chances

[wispy marsh]

Is your surname Prasad and are you Shammi, Jayden or Jashan?

[deep niche]

no

[wind pulsar]

What does that have to do with Australia

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, don't.

[deep niche]

poverty is like idk

[unkempt widget]

what

[unkempt nest]

I started wearing jeans and hoodies when I was like… 12 and have rolled with that since

[deep niche]

idk im brain dead

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, Shammi's the average australian

Wiki says his net worth is 30m, but that was in 2018

[deep niche]

well akira

can i get rid of somethin in the thing u sent me

[wind pulsar]

Even though the most popular names for men in Australia are Oliver, Noah and Jack?

[deep niche]

omg

[unkempt nest]

my entire net worth could probably buy a 5 year old Toyota Camry

[wind pulsar]

Why's that

[wispy marsh]

Oliver?

I barely know 'er

[deep niche]

no way my name is oliver

[unkempt widget]

wow

[deep niche]

price and i want more storage

[wind pulsar]

You can downgrade the gpu ig

[deep niche]

no

i need that gpu my gpu is shit rn

[unkempt nest]

just get more storage later gg ez

[wispy marsh]

I'm not sorry I don't know anyone named Oliver, Noah or Jack

We have the strangest names here

[unkempt nest]

I started with a 500GB m.2 and now I have 4TBs of m.2 and 2TB of sata ssd lmao

[timid meadow]

Storage is cheap get storage later

[unkempt widget]

idk anyone who's named oliver, but i do know people named noah and jack

[deep niche]

its 1 tb

[unkempt nest]

Fr and it’s on hella sale on Amazon rn

[deep niche]

but my files on this current pc are about 6 terabytes

[wind pulsar]

can you overshoot the budget by around $10?

[deep niche]

yes ofc

[unkempt nest]

There’s like a 1tb Sabrent rocket m.2 for like $90 rn, and that’s the high end

[timid meadow]

If your buying a pre built of any kind, get the lowest spec ram and storage then upgrade on your own. Its usually cheaper

[deep niche]

nah

[wind pulsar]

Yeah then nevermind, you won't get more than 2TB fast storage for around $1550

[unkempt nest]

Swap current pc storage into new build?

[deep niche]

danmit

[deep niche]

i cant im gonna use this old build for a server

[wind pulsar]

It already is 3200 CL16 ram lmao

[unkempt nest]

Not that being my current spec lmao

[unkempt widget]

how tf

[wind pulsar]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/CQRg9r I guess have the others have a go

The build I made for him, change around ig

[deep niche]

ty

[unkempt nest]

Let me see if I can find the part picker link I made for my current setup lol

[deep niche]

2 terabytes is fine

im gonna use my old build for a server and use it for my storage

[wind pulsar]

[timid meadow]

I didnt see the list, i said pre builts specifically. List seems fine

[wind pulsar]

Oh ffs say that

[deep niche]

no like

[wind pulsar]

Then that list will be fine regardless

[deep niche]

i want storage onboard but im fine with cloud storage, i just want about 2 tb onboard

[wind pulsar]

I still need to do the Arc giveaway list, bruh

[wind pulsar]

Then there you go

[deep niche]

you are a legend

[unkempt nest]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9F7wfv

That’s my current build

[wind pulsar]

I see the H212 and closed the list

I hate you already

[unkempt widget]

wow wtf 42 cfm?

[deep niche]

2 grand aussie

[unkempt nest]

It’s on a 5600x chill tf out lmao

[unkempt widget]

isn't this cooler like 40 years old?

[wind pulsar]

H212 shall burn

[unkempt nest]

Also I need to update that, keyboard ain’t accurate anymore

[wind pulsar]

Still useable if you replace the fans anyways

[unkempt nest]

I didn’t know any better shhhhhhhh

It’s literally fine I’ve never seen my cpu hit above like 74C lmao

[unkempt widget]

i have an offbrand aio cooling my 13600k
it's a fucking fireball (85C+)

[wind pulsar]

Alriiight, time to set up the giveaway list

Still debating with myself if I should get an Intel arc build and buy like 10 of them or go with an unnecessarily overkill build

[deep niche]

idk what my temp reaches

i think like 70 to 80

i use a i7 7700 rn

[unkempt widget]

i have a feeling if i use better thermal paste, it would be much cooler

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, 12th gen celerons beat that by a large margin nowadays

[unkempt widget]

aint no way bruh

[wind pulsar]

(Celerons are the dual core office cpus)

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, the 7400 actually also has better singlecore performance than the 10100 lmao

[nova nimbus]

WAN.

[nova nimbus]

Wang

(this family guy meme, bro..)

[unkempt widget]

isn't 10100 quad core?

[wind pulsar]

Quad core, yeah

[unkempt nest]

but ye I should probably upgrade my ram now that I’m doing virtualization shit for school now but ye

[wind pulsar]

The G7400 obviously still gets slaughtered in multicore tasks, but has better singlecore performance

[deep niche]

omg

i got 69 c

[unkempt widget]

nice

[unkempt nest]

nice

but like yeah fr as long as it’s not hitting 80C who tf cares what cooler you’re using

If it works it works

[wind pulsar]

I will still mentally spit on H212 users

:)

[unkempt nest]

ngl, got the H212 simply based on aesthetic reasons

[wind pulsar]

Thought so

[unkempt nest]

Matched my all black theme lmao

[unkempt widget]

also i heard noctua is making white coolers

[wind pulsar]

Even back then people only really bought that thing because it looked cool

[unkempt nest]

I mean it performs adequate for me

[wind pulsar]

Not yet, at the very least

[unkempt nest]

Like I said, my cpu never sees over like 75C max lol

[wind pulsar]

Yk what

I will do Arc builds but will follow my usual theme of making builds that will 100% trigger people

So NZXT build it is

[unkempt nest]

If I were to upgrade for the hell of it, I’d probably grab an AK620 or whatever that new cooler was that Gamers Nexus reviewed recently

[wind pulsar]

The Thermalright Peerless Assassin

[unkempt nest]

Oh you didn’t see my NZXT case? LUL

[wind pulsar]

I told you I closed the list after I saw the H212

[unkempt nest]

[unkempt widget]

oh you didn't see the h510

it's funny how the h510 is called h510 flow, when there is no airflow

[unkempt nest]

H510 FLOW

There’s a difference

[wind pulsar]

[unkempt widget]

there's a difference?

[wind pulsar]

The H510 Flow beats most cases if you feed it proper fans

[unkempt widget]

wait what?

[wind pulsar]

What are you even talking about

[unkempt nest]

I have two 140mm fans in the front of mine lol

[wind pulsar]

Yes lmfao

[unkempt widget]

oh what they're different? i always thought they were the same

[unkempt nest]

Nah the flow has a mesh front

[wind pulsar]

The H510 is a block and the H510 Flow has a cheesegrater at the front

Like, why the fuck would it be called 'Flow' in the first place

[unkempt widget]

i like that name actually

[unkempt widget]

same reason they called it greenland ig

[unkempt nest]

In hindsight I would’ve gotten the Corsair 4000D but 🤷‍♂️

[wind pulsar]

They called it the Flow because a murderer used the H510 Flow in hopes more people would visit his town?

[wind pulsar]

Nah, if proper fans H510 Flow > 4000D Airflow

[unkempt widget]

idk

[unkempt nest]

I’ve got mine setup with two 140mm intakes in the front, and two 120mm exhaust in the back and top

[unkempt widget]

because whenever i see people mention h510, i always assume they're talking about h510 flow

[wind pulsar]

You don't know why they called Greenland the way it is, don't you

[unkempt widget]

i do lol

[wind pulsar]

I mean you do now, because I literally said it

[unkempt widget]

i've always known lol, which is why i said it

[wind pulsar]

So you just made a horrible anology, got it

[unkempt widget]

i always make horrible analogies

also to be pedantic, it's analogy, not anology

[unkempt nest]

@wind pulsar can you actually look at my list and tell me if I should upgrade anything? I’m thinking about upgrading my ram in both capacity and speed for virtualization shit, but other than that I think I’m fine tbh

[wind pulsar]

Clearly I don't give a fuck

[wind pulsar]

Sure ig

[unkempt widget]

ah gotcha

[unkempt nest]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9F7wfv

[wind pulsar]

Nah, that's fine

[unkempt nest]

cool

[wind pulsar]

If you need to correct spelling mistakes to have SOME way of correcting someone, you know how deep you've fallen

[unkempt widget]

lol i just did it out of spite :)

[wind pulsar]

If you say so

[unkempt widget]

which doesn't make it any better

[unkempt nest]

In other news

Am I dumb for staying on Windows 10 lmao

[wind pulsar]

Not really, no

[unkempt widget]

depends on preferences tbh

if you like windows 11 and are staying on windows 10, yes

if you like windows 10 and staying there, then no

[unkempt nest]

I’ve hated every second I’ve experienced with Windows 11 so far

[unkempt widget]

did you do a fresh install instead of upgrading?

[wind pulsar]

You will have to swap at some point, considering security updates will get ditched in 2025

[unkempt nest]

Haven’t tried it on my personal rig. All of my windows 11 experience is from my job. Imaging new laptops to W11, and then troubleshooting problems people have with it cause Microsoft changes shit unnecessarily lol

[wind pulsar]

My god, NZXTs monitors are expensive

[unkempt nest]

Honestly my only complaint is the UI and them adding extra steps to previously simple tasks

[signal mountain]

Are older cd roms/floppy drives more reliable, or less reliable than more newer ones? (by manufacturing date, not hours of use)

[night heron]

and not good anyway

[unkempt nest]

I’d imagine less reliable due to… common sense

[wind pulsar]

Hit me up with a 1440p replacement for giveaway build

[night heron]

suddenly i am very busy

[wind pulsar]

Screw you lmfao

[unkempt nest]

my search requirements for the monitor I got was “1440p, 144hz, IPS” lmfao

That’s literally it. And landed on a Gigabyte one lol

[wind pulsar]

Otherwise ten poor people will get 1440p NZXT monitors, are you fine with that?

[unkempt nest]

shit I’ll take one tf 💀

[wind pulsar]

People I actually know*

[unkempt nest]

‘Twas joke

[wind pulsar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/h884zf

About done

[signal mountain]

Well the older ones are heavier and bigger so I think more reliable but I asked here since I might be wrong

[unkempt widget]

why not a ryzen 5000 cpu with an nzxt mobo

[signal mountain]

What do I do with my crapload of old cables? (how to organize them)

[wind pulsar]

Because I don't want to spend $300 again

[unkempt nest]

Cause AM4 is a dead platform lol

[unkempt widget]

what

[wind pulsar]

Why do others need to tell you how to organize YOUR stuff

[wind pulsar]

That's not how it works, no

[unkempt widget]

lol

[wind pulsar]

Reminder that I'm buying 10 of these, and it already is at $22,000

[unkempt nest]

Like… nothing new is gonna be released for the AM4 platform. If you built a system now with a 5000 series cpu, if you want to upgrade at all in the future you’re buying a new mobo

[unkempt widget]

what the fuck are you doing

[wind pulsar]

Builds to give away, what the fuck do you want

[unkempt widget]

ah that would make sense

[unkempt nest]

the fact that you have over 20k to blow just for the fuck of it is hilarious

[wind pulsar]

I don't need to turn it to $22,500

[wind pulsar]

My workstation before my system was around $50,000

[night heron]

ill get back to you in 3-5 business days

[unkempt nest]

How do you even spend that much on a single system lmao

[wind pulsar]

Ah, I'll just get them cheap $200 VA monitors

[wind pulsar]

By buying Threadripper

[unkempt nest]

that math ain’t mathin

well maybe

[wind pulsar]

If you buy Threadripper exceeding $40,000 isn't that hard

The CPU alone can exceed $8,000 no problem

[unkempt widget]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/262b3y
i made this list on pcpartpicker as a joke because i was bored

[unkempt nest]

Ye I was thinking about the 5k threadrippers lmao

[unkempt widget]

it's about as expensive as it gets with consumer stuff

[unkempt nest]

either way, damn.

I wanna watercool my system for the meme tbh

but that’d be such a waste of money lmao

[wind pulsar]

Ditch the RTX 8000, A6000s are like $1500 more

[signal mountain]

I meant as in asking for inspiration/ideas on what others have done to organize theirs

[unkempt widget]

k

[unkempt widget]

nope apparently not

[crimson hawk]

My friend got the chance recently to test out the single slot A4000. It did good even in games

[unkempt nest]

I would hope so

[unkempt widget]

apparently the most expensive consumer gpu is the gv100

followed by the gp100

followed by a gtx 690???

[unkempt nest]

me and my 6700xt against the world baby

[unkempt widget]

followed by a... gtx 1060 3gb???

and then an rx 470???

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, those are about equivalent to a 3070, the A2000 is about a 3050

[unkempt widget]

and then the rtx 8000, and then the a600

[unkempt nest]

part picker prices are goofed lol

[crimson hawk]

Honestly really cool you can get a single slot 3070-ish

[unkempt widget]

not even joking lol

[crimson hawk]

Ah yes, right above the $5500 GTX 690

[unkempt widget]

small price to pay for salvation funny number

[unkempt widget]

you could get a 1 slot 4090 prolly

[crimson hawk]

6900K and RX 6900XT much funnier

X99 moment

[unkempt nest]

Can someone build a 7700x and 7700xtx to satisfy my love for 7s

I’d do it but I’m broke

[crimson hawk]

honestly

I’m trying very hard to find a reasonably priced upgrade for my system but I am telling myself to wait longer

I don’t play enough games to warrant it

[unkempt nest]

yep, it’s always gonna be cheaper after you build it, just saying

[crimson hawk]

my cpu is probably fine for now

[unkempt widget]

wait tf the 6900k has a 14nm process, while a 11900k also had a 14nm process?

[unkempt nest]

If I waited a month longer to build mine I would’ve had the same spec for less, or a better spec for the same price lol

[crimson hawk]

Gpu is aging tho

[crimson hawk]

Yes. Intel™️

14nm++++++++++++

[unkempt widget]

that sounds like it's bigger than 14nm

[crimson hawk]

Wait wrong link

[unkempt nest]

Cause they had no reason to move off the 14nm until AMD started being competitive lol

[crimson hawk]

they were loving 14nm

very much

[unkempt widget]

i would gues that's their favourite number

[crimson hawk]

6700k -> 11900k

[unkempt widget]

did 12th gen just jump down to 7nm?

[crimson hawk]

meanwhile amd was like “lol innovation”

[unkempt widget]

isn't the 5930k 26nm?

[crimson hawk]

They call it Intel 7 bc they wanted the PR but it’s 10nm process

For 12th

[unkempt widget]

what about 13th

[crimson hawk]

Still “Intel 7” 10nm

[mint yacht]

Their only saving grace with the naming is that intel 10/7 are actually the closest to being physically that small

Whereas TSMC 10nm is closer to 14nm lol

But yeah, Intel was on 14nm for a very, very long time

[full fossil]

doesn't TSMC have like 3nm now?

[mint yacht]

Not a clue, I don't keep up with the latest processes

[full fossil]

https://www.phonearena.com/news/tsmc-3nm-good-start_id146228

apple bought all the chips

[wind pulsar]

Yes and are working on 2nm

[full fossil]

I'm still on my 14nm ryzen 1000 :(

[errant valve]

I got the Samsung Galaxy Book, gonna get an EGPU

ended up with a samsung galaxy book 3 360

[rigid moon]

no fun

intel sad

amdd 5nm...

[dull granite]

i love extremely cheap SSDs

like those 256GB DRAM-less SATA ones

[rigid moon]

no

you will lost your data

[neon mesa]

DRAMless sata is shit

if you're buying cheap, buy a cheap nvme

they're not far in price

[rigid moon]

also i just found out that a full white 6750xt cost 1100 dollars

all asrock

[neon mesa]

nah they just didn't get the memo that prices have dropped

[gentle slate]

yall do integrated GPUs impact how performant a CPU can be?

[rigid moon]

air tower cooler

[rigid moon]

a lil bit

[wind pulsar]

Yes

[neon mesa]

if you mainly use them, they're obvious bottlenecks
but if you have dGPU, no.

[gentle slate]

oh. is that why some cpus dont have em?

[rigid moon]

to make the cpu cheaper

[neon mesa]

iGPU don't make the CPU itself go slower

[gentle slate]

that makes sense

[neon mesa]

it being there doesn't slow down anything

if you have a dGPU it will just sit there not bothering you

[gentle slate]

nah cuz I know some CPUs dont have igpus and ngl. theyre handy

[rigid moon]

yea but if you have intel they will help you a lot in render stuff

[gentle slate]

my GPU shit the bed recently and I've been running on my intel integrated

[neon mesa]

it's like putting on shitty wheels on a V12 car

[rigid moon]

buy 4090

[neon mesa]

the wheels doesn't really make the engine itself go slower

but the wheel will still limit the car

[rigid moon]

super slip, it drift

tbh with 1500 dollar you can build a good pc

everything just wayyyyy too cheap

[lean solstice]

I just bought a new 7600x for 170€

[molten drift]

gotta love my mom, , she knows im super depressed today being the anniversary of my dogs death, so she calls me as im taking a bit f fast food" wanna go out for dinner tonight?"

[full fossil]

pog

[wind pulsar]

[full fossil]

thats sweet

[slate wing]

They renamed it to Intel 7 as its similar to TSMC 7NM in transistor density

[crimson hawk]

I see

[slate wing]

Reminder that NM has meant nothing in a long time

even TSMC 7NM has gates the size of like 40NM iirc?

[gilded quest]

iirc once we went to FinFET, nanometers isn't the same meaning as it used to have. Intel 7 (10nm process) is designed to have a similar transistor density as tsmc & samsung 7nm processes

[slate wing]

GlobalFoundries 14NM no less lmao

[gilded quest]

intel 4 (7nm) will theoretically be competitive (in transistor density) with tsmc 5nm

[slate wing]

its not a different meaning its no meaning

thats why intel straight up droped the NM sufix

[neon mesa]

oh this is new

win11 getting better and better

[dim forge]

Maaan someone got the LTT screwdriver in another server I'm in and like wow

[slate wing]

If only the UI didn't suck/was actually consistent and it wasn't windows

[neon mesa]

win11 UI is a lot more consistent than 10 evev been

[slate wing]

Comparison of different "7nm" nodes
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/375444977033150494/1086321227574018161/image.png

[neon mesa]

everything actually having proper UI and not reuse from win7

[slate wing]

that was vista and windows 7

no? control panel and "settings" are still split/you need both to actually to power user shit

control panel being a carbon copy from windows 8/10 still

[neon mesa]

a lot of settings have been moved to the new settings

[slate wing]

not all of them or in a easily accessible way

[neon mesa]

the only thing i use Cpanel for now is just the sound menu

[slate wing]

you can still get windows 3.1 dialog boxes in windows, the ui is inconsistent as FUCK

[neon mesa]

but then it's accesible through settings

[neon mesa]

i mean then windows 7 has this same issue

[wispy marsh]

WinUI is consistent

[slate wing]

yes, but its a known issue with windows that has only gotten worse not better

[slate wing]

"WinUI" annoys me as the actual ui for windows 8/10 is called metro UI lol

[wispy marsh]

For those of you who have windows 11, go to the classic control panel

Windows 7 came out thirteen years ago

[gilded quest]

I'd rather not think about how old windows 7 is

[wispy marsh]

I believe there are multiple versions of different consistent user interfaces which were written with multiple languages across the last thirteen years

[cold finch]

bro wdym i have windows vista

[neon mesa]

at this point it's more on your preference for windows 95 looking UI

because win11 UI is certainly consistent

[cold finch]

get a mac

jk get linux

[slate wing]

right click a file and click show more options. TWO FUCKING different drop downs for right click. FUCKING TWO

[wispy marsh]

MacOS from Apple which is insanely infamous for not allowing their design to be changed, gave MacOS a visual overhaul for the majority of the systems over the last five generations

[cold finch]

bruh have my fine arts exam in 8 hours

India

[neon mesa]

i find myself not bothered by this as most of the time i don't need the extra million buttons

[wispy marsh]

Wanna know something funny? Go to youtube and right-click twice in a row

[cold finch]

scared

[slate wing]

Its still jaring as fuck and annoying for me personally as i like making shortcuts

[cold finch]

why u fighting guis

be happy

[wispy marsh]

ExplorerPatcher does that for you

[slate wing]

Okay and? what does that prove?

[neon mesa]

and still your argument fell short as this "old" one certainly fits windows 11 theme

[cold finch]

[wispy marsh]

The inherent stupidity of terrible UI from large companies is universal

[neon mesa]

most of the option there already on the new context menu anyway

[slate wing]

It does not fit windows 11 theme it is from metro which was used in window 8/10

notice the much sharper corners as well as not being huge fucking buttons for tablet users

[neon mesa]

it's literally the same thing as this one almost

with the difference being the extra options being hidden and the left icons

remove those and it's exactly the same

the only time i need those show more options is probably when i wanna open nv cpanel

or when i wanna unlock files used by processes

considering thins on the second context menu is a lot less used it's well worth the trade off being able to use commonly used ones faster than aiming for those small ass buttons because there's a million different options

[slate wing]

its pretty different now
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/873545481983230022/1086324403442290819/Screenshot_2023-03-17_092359.png

[pliant karma]

I completely forgot I could access those without having to hit show more options

[neon mesa]

seems still pretty same

[slate wing]

While this is the show more options dialog box https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/873545481983230022/1086324805164339303/Screenshot_2023-03-17_092644.png

[neon mesa]

llike i said, the icons are the main differentiating thing

[slate wing]

the first one is windows 11

the second one is windows 10 in windows 11

[neon mesa]

okay and your point is?

[slate wing]

Its inconsistent

[neon mesa]

they're different fucking OS duh

[pliant karma]

yea also should reload my system from scratch one of these days but I have no time atm so that's on the backburner.

[slate wing]

tabs at the top of the screen for several different windows apps now also dont use the same style

Windows 11 could be fluid and consistent like MAC or KDE but its just not as its the same OS with a half ass reskin

[neon mesa]

tabs?

explorer tabs?

[slate wing]

yes, powershell does not use the same tabs

despite both being by MS for windows

[neon mesa]

idk they look pretty much the same

[slate wing]

they both use tabs but they dont behave the same

they are close enough to not be a issue

windows 11 is FINE, but its no where near as good as its competitors

[neon mesa]

at this points it just looks like UI preference

[plush rivet]

Why would windows need competition it’s the most used OS in the world

no matter how much you like Linux there’s nowhere near enough users compared to windows

[neon mesa]

because other then the context menu which is close enough in aesthetics if you have translucent on you can't point out much inconsistency

[slate wing]

wrong by a long shot. its linux

modern android is linux even

[neon mesa]

don't need to shift the goalpost
linux as a kernel is most used
but we are obviously talking about desktop OS

[plush rivet]

Wrong again.

[neon mesa]

and you can't exactly call a kernel a full OS

[plush rivet]

most people don’t even know Linux exists

[gilded quest]

competition is exactly what we need when one company becomes too large and complacent

[slate wing]

linux is the single most used kernel but for destkop its majority windows yes

[plush rivet]

But saying it’s up there with windows is not correct

but windows does need competition yes

[neon mesa]

calling a kernel a full OS is not exactly fair

[gilded quest]

Linux on the Desktop is not competitive (market share) with windows

[slate wing]

it not a fact it does not need it but it DOES HAVE competition

[plush rivet]

very little

[neon mesa]

because if we include all of Windows NT there would be a lot more

[plush rivet]

almost everyone by default chooses windows

[slate wing]

KDE and gnome look sexy as fuck and you dont need the terminal to do most things on linux anymore. Macs are making a resurgence. Its quite nice

[neon mesa]

and again the point is desktop market share

[slate wing]

but anways

[neon mesa]

and it falls down under your preference again

which is subjective

[slate wing]

its not a UI preference, the ui is just inconsistent. Its not that its bad either, i like windows finally getting features mac and linux had for YEARS

[neon mesa]

your original point is consistency which you have yet to provide more evidence on outside of the context menu

and the control panel
but then 90% of shit is already on new settings
control panel being there for compatibility purposes only

[slate wing]

okay then what about the fucking task bar menus? how they block each other and are difference shapes/layouts?

[neon mesa]

taskbar right click menu?

[slate wing]

left click

[neon mesa]

looks pretty good to me

[wispy marsh]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/931960199911206945/1086327636143378502/image.png

This is what the taskbar should look like

[neon mesa]

i have a different preference

[wispy marsh]

lol RoundedTB fellow user

[neon mesa]

startallback actually

[wispy marsh]

Ah

no

[neon mesa]

as much as i love windows 11

i gotta say i despise the start menu

and search menu

this is a lootttt more useful

[slate wing]

I honestly dont use the start menu / taskbar for apps

[wispy marsh]

I heard you like minimalist taskbars.

[neon mesa]

that's just psychotic

[valid pelican]

😭

[gilded quest]

LG dualup?

[wispy marsh]

What's that?

[neon mesa]

the win11 styled win7 start menu is a lot faster than win11's original

[gilded quest]

a monitor

[neon mesa]

basicaly like a shortcut

[wispy marsh]

No, I have two LG screens

[gilded quest]

your screenshot was very odd aspect ratio

dualup is 16x18 aspect

[wispy marsh]

It's not, it's 16:18

[gilded quest]

wat

[wispy marsh]

The resolution is 2560 * 2880

[gilded quest]

so 2 monitors on top of each other?

[wispy marsh]

Yeah

[neon mesa]

in mosaic?

[wispy marsh]

In eyefinity

||/jk||

[gilded quest]

tis why I thought it was the DualUp lol

[neon mesa]

ah the AMD equivalent

[wispy marsh]

My back hurts looking at this

I'm getting an aeron next month

hey guys

[earnest marsh]

looks good, but the unsurprisingly the functionality sucks

[neon mesa]

what functionality do you expect...

[earnest marsh]

tfw bluetooth drivers on windows still crappy

[neon mesa]

it does what it's supposed to

[earnest marsh]

the phone to PC link is awfully laggy
and the bluetooth drivers are still no good at all

[neon mesa]

it has nothing to do with the taskbar UI you replied to

[gilded quest]

Intel Unison has been super reliable so far

[earnest marsh]

fairs

[pliant karma]

lol I see I also started using it recently

[earnest marsh]

its a bit sluggish too (might just be my pc though)

[neon mesa]

what do you use unison for

[gilded quest]

occasional photo transfer and notifications

[neon mesa]

personally i just use onedrive for it

what does unison use for transfer

[gilded quest]

its mostly for notifications

[pliant karma]

bluetooth iirc

[gilded quest]

not bluetooth

[pliant karma]

oh

[neon mesa]

so wifi

[gilded quest]

my windows pc never has bluetooth on

its not as useful as samsung flow

but alas I do not have a galaxy phone right now

[neon mesa]

these phone link apps are pretty useful to me as a whatsapp user
would have been useful

oh i heard phone link have the ability to mirror your phone but i don't know how to get that to work

[pliant karma]

my relatives use whatsapp but I've never wanted to use it lol
