public-chat

[steep girder]

But it flew at so many machs of fps that entire intro is gone in a second

dos games often assumed how many hz your cpu was lmao. Somehow i guess. There was no delta i think. Idk why it usually crashed shortly

[brazen sundial]

Is it cheaper to build or buy a pc

[tired glade]

Depends how you value warranty

[brazen sundial]

Probably been asked before but due to taxes,shipping,inflation I think it's changed

I payed 1k for my pc when it costs around 600

[tired glade]

That's scam and half

[brazen sundial]

Shipping

[slate wing]

just build a PC lol

[fiery delta]

How do you remove a child lock of a oven cause some shit may or may not off happened

[tired glade]

Had you shipped like 2000km or something?

[slate wing]

even if you get a good gpu and cpu then can and often times cheap out on things like the mobo and whatever storage device they put in it

[brazen sundial]

Ny so no

[steep girder]

Ny so you shipped like 2km but paid 999999$ tax

[brazen sundial]

Wait why is 5 3600 100 dollars

[steep girder]

Then, years down the road, it broke so you had to throw it out but legally you had to have licensed electronics recycling guy come to take it

But none of them wanted to. So like illegal dumping or keep it forever. My buddy hung a gpu from his car mirror. So theres that

[tired glade]

Oh, right, taxes not included in price tag

[brazen sundial]

One flaw of ppp

[tired glade]

What's ppp?

[brazen sundial]

Pcpartpicker

[steep girder]

The supplier paid taxes to bring it in so that the store clerk can put it in his shop he pays property taxes on. It stays there until customer buys it and pays two sales taxes: one federal and one state or somen

Years down the road you go to waste center and pay to recycle it which is one giant tax with same 2 sales tax applied to it

Or you sold it on kijiji tax free..

but then your grandkids inherited that money and paid tax

[steep girder]

Unless you tell it where you live and where each part is from down to state/province...

If its now exactly 0$, then it could be legit. Unless he punks you and sends glitter bomb or something. Broken gpu that fries pci slot or cpu would be cruel :p

Oh lol. Well thats a bit better if usps/canpo is handling it

Harder to break lol

That just means you have to sign when package arrives at door or when you pick it up from post office/shipping center somehow no?

Thats a good thing for a mic because you cant have it 'lost'. Well just pay when you get it lol. Or at least when you get tracking code. Tracking code tbh you still dont even know exact weight idk. Let aside whether or not its used covid mask inside or mic lol

Either way hes gonna have to pay it i think. If not, then yeah when you sign i guess. But not to him then

Well i was just about to say: nobody usually pays shipping or anything unless its like ebay and you have an invoice somewhere + a receipt when you pay tbh

If you pay import fee at the end, they probably can give you receipt just for that. Then you dont need the guys receipt because it arrived lol.

But otherwise, you need his receipt and invoice at least. Some sort of record of you paying for whatever fees you covered for getting the item shipped

I mean its 16 bucks lol im just saying in general. You still didnt really explain in detail. Like who and where... and if anybody else witnessed lol

The receipt theyd have to make somehow. Probably makes sense if they made an invoice first. Usually the invoice like on ebay is recorded when you buy or win auction.

Tbh ask for invoice for whichever portion of shipping along with receipt to show they paid it. Maybe theyll just not do it for 20$

what

If it cost you when it arrived, dont tell him anything lmao

Just dont pay anything until you get it at your door

Lmfao i mean the guy you won a free mic from. Dont pay anything bc its free

When you get it, if its a real working mic then pay him duty if he wanted it. Unless you pay whatever to post man. End of story.

Idk man. If you think its legit enough that 16$ doesnt matter lmao

Is the mic like 200$ (or more)

[lapis forge]

Hello everyone

[steep girder]

I have no idea. Gotta look that up. So long as its not condensor lol

Tbh condensor is fine because its free

I think theyre much more expensive + dynamic range sounds like a barrel

Im talking trash tbh. Idk. It curves differently or cuts off i dont remember. Then there were some advantages pretty sure

Its 78usd tho. On their website

Are you in usa canada or somewhere else

[dull granite]

if you can't tell between AI art and real art, you have a bad eye for art

even with "normal" hands, it's NOT that hard (to differentiate)

[steep girder]

https://fifinemicrophone.com/products/fifine-k688?variant=42245572296893

Free shipping + no tax lol

had?

i dont have a tiktok still lol

I can try but wont it give me sign in page like twitter and insta

Tbh i dont wanna look at tiktok except the audio guys themselves i guess

Oh wait streaming customer base. Makes sense. I guess im like those investors. Out of touch from streamer world lol. If id do it, i would use headphone mic i got rn. Its 3.5mm stereo jacks both not xlr/usb. My mobo makes no noise tho in back audio headers :p

So i can set realtek to like 48000 24 bit and mix it well. Unless i need desktop streamer mic lol

But like why. Could mic up your shirt; now it's hidden. Same w headset except you can see it. Mic on desk no matter how good, your head is stuck facing one direction + same distance lmao.

So you found driver or something else that was accessing outside memory it is allowed? Pretty sure i remember those bsods mean you crashed hard

[full fossil]

Haven’t posted in a while, but Linus needs a Sparc T7-2 server to reiview

[grim ether]

I would like a mic on a proper stand

[full fossil]

It has 512 THREADS

[grim ether]

My kraken x headset is mid

[full fossil]

From 2009

And a terabyte of ram

64Cores 512Threads

[steep girder]

Just 4 years after most games broke that ran on one core intel lol. Dual core and already ut99 rngs the speed of everything lol. Unless you set affinity to 1 sometimes. It fixed

But then again it occasionally started turbo mach 77 so might not have time in task manager. Had to run with command line. That i dont get either. Why did dual core break timing again...

[nimble trout]

Synapse Burnout

[steep girder]

Dos i understand but second time around you had to use one of the timers. There was some hires call and a less precise. One of them made last frame time wrong because 2 cores

[nimble trout]

Just run 77 different scenarios, or start keeping a diary on FF03B5

[slate wing]

> 2 threads per core is a meme. It serves stupid purposes often done better on the gpu

[steep girder]

But again wrong frame time ended in negative 99284728 micros since last frame. Like entire engine moves all back in time.

[slate wing]

Part of why Intels “fy” or whatever died

[nimble trout]

I mean, unless you know how to be quiet from birth. Inner voice is loud when it's a biography you read over Keanu Reeves before the diary.

[steep girder]

Then you wake up as keanu and its 2077 still

[nimble trout]

Or I am me and have no fear of what they are putting in their video game

[steep girder]

Picture an alternate reality where he looks different

[nimble trout]

Steam Index

[steep girder]

But to everybody hes still keanu reeves and its no different. The only reason hes diff is because you said so.

[nimble trout]

How are ghosts created in ghost games?

[steep girder]

The same way as everything else with ai

[nimble trout]

Oh, or a system of traumatic learning? 😉

[steep girder]

An objective like move target in a queue

[nimble trout]

You can't claim certain authentication levels without proof.

[steep girder]

Yeah exactly. Their existence is pretty sad i guess. Theres no learning though.

[nimble trout]

Public Affairs normally.

[steep girder]

Unless you plug in real ai. Then sht gets real

[steep girder]

what is the meaning of $(pwd)

[nimble trout]

Password with the parameters that you can include symbols

[steep girder]

and what is the meaning of pwd

[nimble trout]

Owned of course... ofc could be used in future "models" to represent of course.

Do you know how to take down an empire?

[steep girder]

Maybe.

[nimble trout]

"belittle it until the weight of everyone else's thoughts matter to you. Self love is the answer when you don't feel accepted"

[steep girder]

But it requires a couple billion at least pretty sure these days. And drones or something

[nimble trout]

I mean, that is always speculation

I was truly shocked to find out that the fourth wall does not break if you use the black and green hammer.

[steep girder]

You need to be as advanced as the empire and have as much potential at least. Maybe less but you got lucky. Or you have less tech or numbers but you make up for it in strategy

[nimble trout]

Oh no sir, I can show you how the Army forced us to write a paper for internal uses over a sensitive topic. Grammarly is normally installed.

[steep girder]

But honestly aint no strategy to see hypersonic bullet before you can ever hear gun shot... and dodge it lol

[nimble trout]

Oh no, I thought you were here too, Life isn't a joke.

During Harry Potter testing, I got Slytherin and the first guy I saw was blind, I haven't touched the game since.

[steep girder]

I mean makes sense in the army and such or things like legislations. Any legal documents really in of themselves are stating fact

[nimble trout]

"It requires honesty beyond oneself."

[steep girder]

So like syntax matters lmao. Has to read as exactly what its supposed be.

[nimble trout]

Yes of course, but for public affairs, I talk to everyone.

[steep girder]

Grammarly is one thing. Then you gotta do the logic n stuff too. Scientific basis is usually there in the end somehow. So like using man in the constitution lol

[nimble trout]

Voice and video exist too, I just don't spend the time to set them up every time I decide to type.

[steep girder]

Technically means just man. Then you interpret it as 'the way its clearly meant to be'

[nimble trout]

Or you actually break the 4th wall because the law still exists.

[steep girder]

Tbh its really man as in our species or just the men lol.

[steep girder]

Idfk lol

[nimble trout]

Exactly lol, that's all it means, I am not Bartmoss nor Dexter, but if you didn't have to die to Dexter, you should be able to not do his mission and save Jackie everytime

[steep girder]

Depends on how you interpret it. Usually quotation marks or other things indicative of dialog go a long way

[nimble trout]

Yeah, when I have to write scripts, schools will purposefully put you in a different category, effectively making you the fifth authentication.

[steep girder]

Dimmskii types yet another demented message into the public chat channel on LTT Discord server -- the one you are reading at this very moment.

[nimble trout]

Well yes, that is how it works.

[steep girder]

Dimmskii types yet another demented message into the public chat channel on LTT Discord server -- the one any of its readers are reading at this very moment

[nimble trout]

I just read it and confirm for my computer that I saw it.

You ever get "owned"?

Because my world will actually fall apart if I change 0 to 1

[steep girder]

No the important part is if you read it as id intended in a scientifically formal voice, the second one is better

[nimble trout]

Oh of course, taking apart the device and being able to identify every part is subject to your Advanced Individual Training

You always include a physical thing too, to be able to identify me at any time.

Oh, and I can't afford that control toy, I hope I can get it in the next 6 months. I have to be realistic about how to train someone how to use the internet, because that is where I was failed as a young person.

[steep girder]

Idk what youre on about. But after 4:12:00 pm edt Dimmskii wrote a single message. Its readers were being referenced as observable physics.

[nimble trout]

Hear me out?

Trust me bro.

[steep girder]

You cant swap 0 and 1 lol

0 is 0 and 1 is the first count from it.

Whenever we write 1 the symbol itself is implicit of at least another one usually we consider to be 0

[slate wing]

What the hell are y’all taking about lol

[steep girder]

Trying to pwn the universe by flipping the switch on mathematics i guess

[cloud horizon]

woof

[steep girder]

@nimble trout btw also 0 is the special one because the next is after 1. It means the same thing tbh. Youre reading 0 and 1 and interpreting their symbols as whatever that pure crap is

Just numbers lmao. Something began. Idk. This is getting tedious on phone

[golden talon]

no

[nimble trout]

Who is going to cover that bill to allow me to have the power to switch a 0 to a 1 or to allow me to turn something on or off?

[steep girder]

Ill leave yall with this: all classical measurements and information we consider complete is minimally represented in a binary system: two different symbols you can read in any sequence with n>1 elements. Mind you its the sequence of symbols. The next can either with at least the smallest countable infinity as the limit (you always have one next basically).

[nimble trout]

Yes, analytically is not my favorite writing style because I am used to AI replying back but doesn't mean what I have to say doesn't get said. Regardless if I am at 0 or 9 or 12 or the size of a local government. It isn't a bug, it's showing people that they should put self-love above all before putting oneself.

Because regardless of what is happening at home, I can trust myself.

[steep girder]

This kinda makes sense though because you have to finish reading whatever the entire logical at its base expression is. You cant have a base infinity system really because think of a different digit each time: each one will be expressed as every prior in between and finally 0 which is the first symbol. All of them together now express that theres a next which isnt 0. You make a new squiggle for it same thing happens.

[nimble trout]

We normally signify this with a Purple Heart or a Purple Check Mark

Since more of the game continued, I never left my headset until I explored all of it. There is content in that game I do not recommend streaming.

[steep girder]

In other words, you dont have a digit for every number at all. Additionally, order comes out of this too: each digit is really > the prior > the prior ... > 0. At 0 the definitions stop.

[nimble trout]

Exactly

Or add letters

It is a calculator for whatever you want to type into it.

Trust me bro "Auto:Bio:Graphical" is not something the doctors normally give out.

[steep girder]

Irl you can look at it from the last digit as after the prior defined the same way until you it 0. Each digit has a next count. But pay attention to digital now. So you picked binary. Ok. After 1 its 10. The radix or base we have we write digits which represent those numbers

[nimble trout]

If you spend your whole life finding it's meaning, effectively the answer is 42 or 0 with nothing in-between

[steep girder]

So the way you read 0 and 1 as digits you already have no say in the second 'positive integer' being after it by adding one more place as a symbol lmao.

[nimble trout]

Trust me bro is a sticker but effectively means nothing unless you have a big issue to take care of.

The remedial steps are already functioning as intended.

And I can put that on my student-id because that is how I am here. FF02B5

Yes, decoding is not ethical.

"Be My Eyes" exists for the visually impaired

[steep girder]

42 is count to 10 four times and then two more. The answer sadly cant be just 42 because already you have a bunch of primes poping up with non-primes in between in a seemingly random order... yet it's somehow the product of what we did.

Actually your 0 and 1 switcheroo:

Picture starting at the last next element as 0 and counting down through every positive natural until you hit 0

And make 0 the next element you havent expressed yet as its own count (the minimal way we consider it that number)

[nimble trout]

We do not need to decode my brain for me to do the right thing.
Effectively, just taking over a business does not limit colors that company provides.
I plan on getting that number to at least 2 by next fiscal year.
Yes a robot knows it's mistakes
or was it a forced action?

Yeah, it goes pretty deep man, "we" all knew that. Trust me bro

[ashen igloo]

Does anyone have any of the extra colors of the rubber side things that go on the noctua fans?

[steep girder]

You always have the next number before the one you started on and so forth. But you never hit any of the ones at the starting point we consider. Name any count: you still have numbers in between. It looks like the new 0 is actually representative of our origin were used to; every previous is also exactly what the next used to be. You just named something additional at the end from the other side lol. So what we mean by these symbols is actually some immutable sht. At least to our physics

[nimble trout]

I just use hex as a calendar, it's more "simplistic"

[gilded plinth]

Some people on r/Noctua have boxes of them, are you trying to get some free ones?

[gilded plinth]

@ashen igloo

[ashen igloo]

I just want 1 of each color.

[pliant karma]

I heard free and Noctua

[gilded plinth]

Maybe try asking here, some people sent others a few

https://www.reddit.com/r/Noctua/comments/11qcz4g/

[steep girder]

Try base 1. Literally the last smallest digital base before binary. In the end, its not a base but if youre reading it in a practical way, its actually a binary still. You already have a second symbol. You just dont realize it yet

So tally obv

[nimble trout]

No, I don't really need anything than a hug bro, tldr: College and Life hit hard and the lines I once saw as family no longer act like family, since my 18th birthday I have had issues and figuring them out on my own since then. You do get confused over time. So don't do what I did.

[ashen igloo]

Oh thank you!

[steep girder]

But right away you dont have a 0 written. Irl the symbol is there as nothing written. Youre still reading the place you expect there to be sticks

[idle nymph]

Whats this? I want some ngl

[gilded plinth]

Anti vibration corner things for Noctua fans

[ashen igloo]

oh rip

[cloud horizon]

« i want to die »

• me, 5s ago

[ashen igloo]

this guy is in the EU

[idle nymph]

Wait this is Rubber color for noctua 😮

[ashen igloo]

I am in the USA

[idle nymph]

I need one ngl my Fan go breeehhh everyime they spin

[gilded plinth]

You sure it's just the vibrations?

[slate grail]

Hey what's the best deal on 4TB+ hdd's and 1TB+ ssds?

[gilded plinth]

https://diskprices.com/

Filter only for new

[idle nymph]

Prolly and even if not i still want one

[slate grail]

I need stuff for backup

Posted in #tech-chat-1

[steep girder]

One of my fans went drrrrrret yesterday at post until i moved it arnd a bunch. Still not sure which fan it is. I checked cpu ones for cable hitting blades

[slate grail]

I already have at least 4-5 1TB ssds

[idle nymph]

Mine go sometime drrret idk why

Yet i still want on of those cool thing where can I get them

[steep girder]

Imagine like pcie power is between blades and you set it to full speed. Always was scared of it.

[steep girder]

Idk probably not good. Especially if case vibrates and theres like hdd too

[idle nymph]

I dont have hdd, and i use noctua

[slate grail]

$354.35 is not $65

[gilded plinth]

How old are the fans?

[idle nymph]

I really need to change case one day

[steep girder]

In mine the case vibration is secondary tho. Its tower cooler hitting the right rpm and making sub note with entire pc lol

[slate grail]

I bought 6 RF120's from a buddy for $40 CAD

[idle nymph]

Old asf boi, my Dad got it when he build his pc whos like 12 years old

My dad pc had an dual 750ti System later

[nimble trout]

In the last 5 years

[steep girder]

The workaround is to not have fans spinningvat that speed lol. Kinda bad. Like sink dancing. I guess i screwed it on tight enough otherwise it would lose contact and maybe grate pins into socket lol

[slate grail]

I'm glad I got my EVGA RTX 2070 XC Ultra for $220 a month or so back

It was a nice upgrade from a 1060-6gb and matches my previous RX 6600

[nimble trout]

Are you seriously just asking for a desktop pic?

Just wondering lol

[steep girder]

Only thing i hate about towers tbh. Like 1lb chunk on copper legs dangling sideways. Like gpu but i guess neither break if you dont give it vertical g lol

[heady flicker]

you could buy high capacity drives like this one https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1666823-REG/seagate_st16000ne000_ironwolf_pro_16tb_hard.html

[graceful burrow]

Build two nas' and send one to a friend far away

[heady flicker]

then just cram everything in there. probably a good idea to have it run as a raid

[steep girder]

I think the atx standard was made so mobo faces up

[slate grail]

I need something cheap lol

[heady flicker]

16tb for $250 is pretty decent imho

[slate grail]

Yeah it is

[ebon otter]

Am I cool?

[steep girder]

So mid tower i should flip on its side but theres a bump on door :/

[slate grail]

But I don't have a spare 350 CAD

[heady flicker]

but then I'd be buying like four so total will be $1000

[gilded quest]

Do you want the truth or to feel good

[ebon otter]

None

[steep girder]

Yes. You have your name after; the word 'semi' is prepended to the entire nickname to complete the pun.

[nimble trout]

I have a asus Hyper M.2 X16 Gen 4 Card for raids, but don't ask me to set it up, its still brand new.

[steep girder]

I tried hard for that one idk

[nimble trout]

L5C0CS0376798K7

[gilded quest]

Is this your bank password?

[steep girder]

feel good nand truth ?

I hope thats the right way

Yeah makes sense then that law !(feelgood | truth)

|| rather because not bitwise. And fck xor really

[steep girder]

I would like both please

[nimble trout]

not at all

[idle skiff]

He says, sweating and calling his bank

[nimble trout]

Is it really the shirts that bother you guys? I can wear formal attire regardless of the day, just may not look fantastic. I am not the best at tying ties.

[steep girder]

Because thats one of each. Must be better than neither. Neither is the choice with the smallest possible quantity of them and yet you say yourself how theres at least 2 options

[nimble trout]

2B or not 2B

[steep girder]

Yeah so what show up in like sneakers and sweat pants with adidas hoody? Comfort max

[nimble trout]

I would love to man, Khakis and a green shirt rn

Green isn't only worn on M317B5

[steep girder]

I mean ive done it a couple times, a guy does it every day. We dont have dress code

[nimble trout]

That sounds lovely honestly.

[steep girder]

The worst is like teams call with board people there. So you put on formal clothes at home

Then take them off again when meeting is over

The new norm is weird.

[wind pulsar]

No no no

[nimble trout]

I even read from a book today out loud and recorded it, I am just so nervous to put myself out there, I messed up quite a few times guys and I would rather take full blame for everything going on than just accept I messed up.

[wind pulsar]

You forgot the most important part, really

[nimble trout]

That I have two tickets to LTX? lmao

[wind pulsar]

Only wearing half of formal wear since the people on the online meeting can't see it anyway

[nimble trout]

true ig lol

[steep girder]

Just dont forget and stand up to get something lmfao

[nimble trout]

lmao

[steep girder]

Gonna go from innocent call to tubin or whatever his name was pretty fast

Lol whats funny is i can see enough ppl actually did that and somewhere it probably happened a few times at least

Like underwear and socks + jacket and tie

[wind pulsar]

I know, that's why I said it

I know a few of my accountants do it and they genuinely think I don't know

[steep girder]

Picture seeing that out of nowhere. Id die of laughter after a brief second of shock

If you know, they must be bad at it lol

[wind pulsar]

They probably know that I don't care, tbh

[fluid jacinth]

Hi

[cunning ocean]

hey @all ryzen or intel cpu

[wind pulsar]

If they do their job, idc what they wear lmao

[fluid jacinth]

I have a Intel CPU and gc

[wind pulsar]

Stop trying to incite a war, thx br

[cunning ocean]

dawg im just askin

[tired glade]

What gc?

[fluid jacinth]

Graphics card

[tired glade]

GPU, you mean

[fluid jacinth]

Sure

[tired glade]

A750 or a770?

[wind pulsar]

I personally don't care if it's AMD or Intel, whatever

[fluid jacinth]

Rx 6800

[tired glade]

That's AMD GPU

[fluid jacinth]

I5-12400f

I said Intel CPU amd GPU dude

[tired glade]

CPU and GPU

That part

[wind pulsar]

.. Do you happen to speak English natively in some way?

[fluid jacinth]

Yes

[wind pulsar]

Oh dear

[steep girder]

I mean youd better consider it in some cases

Mostly nvidia gpu i think

[fluid jacinth]

If you played CSGO you would lol

[steep girder]

Bc could be amd doesnt 'support' rebar on nvidia card

[wind pulsar]

Wtf does that have to do with CS:GO

[fluid jacinth]

Intel cards can barely run it

[wind pulsar]

Then your info is outdated

[tired glade]

That totally,450 fps unplayed on AMD

[steep girder]

Oh lol intel hd?

[pastel moon]

does anyone know any good portable monitors or maybe a better question

[wind pulsar]

That issue has been fixed long ago, Intel Arc saw a 136% FPS uplift with recent driver updates in CS:GO

[fluid jacinth]

Ok

[pastel moon]

anyone know a good 24" gaming monitor

[tired glade]

For some games*

[pastel moon]

that's lightweight

[steep girder]

Intel hd should run it. I can check on my 8700k bet it will run... if i can use it wo unplugging the real one tho. Not worth

[wind pulsar]

No, context was on Intel Arc

[steep girder]

If it wont run csgo nicely, it means thatcits not running at all lol

[fluid jacinth]

Dell has some decent ones

[steep girder]

Oh idk. I have one that says iris

On a notebook

[tired glade]

Do you play CS?

[fluid jacinth]

An old game that is very popular

[steep girder]

Its absolute trash pretty sure tho..

[steep girder]

Yeah if its not go

[tired glade]

Counter strike global offensive

[steep girder]

Source mostly nowadatd

[wind pulsar]

Filter evasion bannable btw, not a good idea to do

[tired glade]

Why are they calling it Counter strike 2, Valve come on

[wind pulsar]

I mean, most people are calling it 'CS' anyway, might as well go with it

[steep girder]

TF2 is the third team fortress made

The hl1 mod was tf classic

[tired glade]

And first under Valve

[fluid jacinth]

Bruh

[steep girder]

The first one was made before. It wasnt qn hl mod

But quake 1 lol

[fluid jacinth]

I only started PC gaming like 2 years ago I haven't play some of these games

[steep girder]

Yup. There you go. gaben secretly released a number 3. He just disguised it as 2

Or rather valve hates 3 so much that theyd rather call a third game 2 even

[fluid jacinth]

Remember splitgate lol

[tired glade]

I don't remember last AAA I even played

[steep girder]

But the first valve one was pretty much a source port of the quake mod. Hence the classic lol

[tired glade]

Vavle license doom engine

[steep girder]

Tbh hl isnt that diff so not much to do

[tired glade]

But they mod it

That's why it is called the "Source" engine

[steep girder]

Well quake engine. And supposedly a bit of q2 before anyone else had it. Id did license them exclusively

[tired glade]

Id engine

[steep girder]

But hl1 they added skeletal anim + software renderer had color lights

And it was faster too somehow

[tired glade]

Carmack checked it when hl2 release,he still can see parts from original Wolfenstein engine

[steep girder]

Also cgame and vgui separate. So not just server mod lol

[steep girder]

I mean yeah. He used it too. wad files. They are a container of just lumps i think

[tired glade]

He wrote it

[steep girder]

I think theres less actual format to them though.

bsp files are also that but they have expected lumps at start and such

They are actually kind of like the container but inside lump format. Source engine games like even csgo to this day use lumps lol

valve bsp some version maps

[young root]

how do i make a thumbnail

[past egret]

for?

[young root]

a forza video

[past egret]

take a screenshot of a car and then just put a lot of circles and arrows on it pointing nothing

in bright red colir

[steep girder]

printscr , alt-tab, start, paint.net, wnter, ctrlv , ctrl e , 25, tab , 25, enter

I think ctrl e its muscle memory. No ctrl a i thinm

[past egret]

couldve just used regular paint on your pc

[steep girder]

Ctrl e is mspaint

[steep girder]

There is no regular paint anymore though

Theres some paint but its an 'app' or something and you dont always have it installed

[past egret]

? it comes preinstalled unless you used a debloater

[steep girder]

Or microsoft store neither. Then you try to download but error 0x8008.. whatever

[past egret]

k

[steep girder]

That one error store always gives lol. I thought it was me but i recently disabled nothing

[pastel moon]

gotcha

[steep girder]

Right after install. Idk just saying. Kinda bad. If you wanna use wsl... the distros are from store. Theyre the ones that usually break too. Its just installer and setup though.

[pastel moon]

not super informative

[steep girder]

But i still can download appx package

[pastel moon]

anyone have any brands and models for good 24" screens (fairly lightweight) 144-240hz

good value for money

[steep girder]

from obscure microsoft page. It can run but sometimes if no store gg. Like file not associated. ps error. So try the wsl -l --online

Lol wsl.exe doesnt have that yet. If it does then easily 0x8008 like in store. Updates install fine

[young root]

i gotta wait to make it lmao, my drivers keep crashing

[steep girder]

But last hope usually appx package which by default installs. Begs the question why is sideloading allowed by default...

[young root]

i'm using the same drivers i had for my 7900xtx for my 6950xt

[steep girder]

Its a store with apps. Its ok though because you can literally install apps on someone elses comp. Microsoft does too once a while because recommended lol

Ngl i love chrome because its answer when searching shit are better

Hows that?

[plush rivet]

uh no

explain to me how apple is a scam when it owns so much in the tech market

[heady flicker]

apple has it's own niche

it's really good at what it does best

[plush rivet]

but doesnt mean its a scam lol

just because its high pricing doesnt mean it doesnt keep up to that price tag

[idle nymph]

Aka making people pay a shit ton of money for thing you can do on cheaper

(jokes btw)

[sturdy dune]

apple may not be first or good value but they tend to set the minimum standard

[sullen depot]

Yes hi where is the tip of the tech variety

[plush rivet]

how are they not good value

the M2 laptop is the best laptop cpu on the market currently

and its not even stupid expensive

[sturdy dune]

ah, i dont know much about M series

[idle nymph]

Price

[plush rivet]

that dont argue something you know nothing about lol

[sturdy dune]

The only thing i think Apple really shine out is Mac, good for productivity and Video edtiting and shit like thag

[plush rivet]

their displays are also super good

ipads also are the undefeated king of tablets

[vapid smelt]

also 2560x1440 is not "2k"

I understand now

[idle nymph]

What i dont like about Apple : 4000 Dollar and cant fucking game and no compatibility whit window ios or anything

[plush rivet]

its not made to game

a computer can be used more than gaming lol

[novel niche]

Nvidia added GeForce now on mac

[idle nymph]

They mostly use the tablet whit Keyboards

[sullen depot]

How much do y'all think I can get for a s22 ultra with a crack on the lower left corner?

[idle nymph]

If i pay 4000 for it i expect it to at least run minecraft

[idle nymph]

And it still cant run shit

[fossil frost]

i paid £12,000 for my car... it cant run minecraft

[sullen depot]

I thought about repairing it but it's like 300+ dollars

[idle nymph]

[sullen depot]

Can y'all actually load Minecraft onto Tesla's lol

[graceful burrow]

Nvidia tesla or tesla tesla

[idle nymph]

Some Tesla have this Feature

[sullen depot]

[past egret]

go up to a tesla owner and ask if its a new toyota

Minor amount of tomfoolery

[fossil frost]

or ask them why the model 5 seems to have been designed by taking a ford mondeo mk5, and a piece of tracing paper, and doing a brass rubbing of the ford

[steep girder]

you mess up and 0 speed lol. i used to catch up because others run into wall later

but leading 2 if youre behind enough its just time to put down controller. but my fav is still revolt to this day. pc game like mario kart only rc toy cars

its free now too because somebody bought it when acclaim died to make xbox version but never finished. then they found source and undid the xbox code back to pc. free now :p

deadware lol. never thought. only guys like not giving source code because idk. its not gpl. literally finders keepers ware 😛

but yeah oil spill powerup is banana peel

plus more physics-y. like oil in round tunnel lol

What I love about Cinemark XD is that it’s THX Certified and it has a great audio and video experience

[steep girder]

so before it became tpp only

they mocapped the animations and had destructable env. rf1 was even more tbh. all on ps2

[elfin jetty]

@full fossil

battery backups

[wind pulsar]

It's almost like Apple products are not designed to run games on them, god damn

[elfin jetty]

for literally anything that plugs into an outlet

[steep girder]

you can save some on the batteries if you get used w dead ones + sketchy open ones. thats what i ran

[elfin jetty]

bro

its self explanatory

its a backup battery

[fossil frost]

do people still play 2D platform games? and... are 2D platform games still made these days?

[elfin jetty]

seems... unsafe

[steep girder]

unless you only plug cameras, idk. its still for like uninterrupted during power surges and stuff

even then

[elfin jetty]

it keeps the voltage stable

[steep girder]

but you need router modem and a pc/nas maybe too

[steep girder]

that too. i think the sine wave purity can vary a lot no?

idk what that means for psu but...

[elfin jetty]

it depends on the ups ya get

[elfin jetty]

just more steady and less noisy power

[idle nymph]

If i pay 4000 on a product ans they annonce thatvproduct Will have gaming perfomance (like läßt meeting or idk) i expect it to run games

but 500eur and shipping only from germany +50 lol

idk man germans and their hand crafted stuff how is it so good

[idle nymph]

German

[steep girder]

or like bmw with their renowned sound engineer just for seatbelt ding :p

plus they cancel out engine sound with speakers i think. pretty cool...

[fossil frost]

active noise cancellation like this is in a lot of cars now

[idle nymph]

Too Bad they make You pay monthly for the Feature in the. Car

[steep girder]

yeah nowadays tho... i mean somebody told me m got bad a while ago because they merged it w main line assembly. not sure about m or anything more sporty but they dont make manual anymore :/

if their entire line up to highest end sports stuff doesnt have standard at all ill die inside

[idle nymph]

Sad

[steep girder]

i mean auto can usually smoke manual unless they are really pro... even still

[idle nymph]

Yeah i dont understand jackshit about car, good night bro

[steep girder]

but you gotta feel the power. plus you still have a shot if auto sports car doesnt have right shift points. then again you have the shifting still probably. its not the same w/o clutch tho

[idle nymph]

What

[steep girder]

all you gotta know is theyre trying to make all cars electric by like 2035. probably means also freemium speed subscription and you can get override remotely like irobot

[idle nymph]

Ohvye

a 2022 i5 and 2022 ryzen 5 will be roughly equivalent

[past egret]

i dont get people that says nuclear isnt clean

the US doesn't have any long-term nuclear waste storage facilities lol

gotta keep the deserts of Nevada free from radiation

[vapid smelt]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucca_Mountain_nuclear_waste_repository

[steep girder]

i mean nuclear waste doesnt renew apparently. and a soda can stored properly of mostly lowest grade waste per person is polluting too much idk

[young root]

i'm the problem 😎

[vapid smelt]

then we need a shit ton of batteries

its mostly decayed enough to be safe in like 5 yrs or so lpl

[steep girder]

lmfao that too

[stray apex]

get your facts out of here

nobody gives a shit about those
nuclear radiation bad

[steep girder]

batteries we reuse so well rn lpl

i mean nuclear can still go 0 to 100 i admit

but like idk in japan it was literally plant on shore of tsunami zone with a wall lol

maybe we can do a few better choices like dont build it there or cover up active meltdown like chernobyl

whatev. maybe fusion dropping soon

[steep girder]

but the good ol russian tokamak design its entire history was basically like:

it didnt work. probably because too small. lets make it bigger lol

the iter is a multinational collab theyre pumping billions idk. but look up on youtube the american one.

[pastel moon]

I was initially working off this list:

24ish" 1080p240+ IPS options:

Asus: VG259QM
MSI: MAG251RX
Viewsonic: XG2431
AOC: 24G2ZU

[pastel moon]

xg2431 features

[steep girder]

the plasma spins magnet field this time i think. plott twist..

then like 2nd stage once it builds enough power. it shoots two ends into eachother in higher pressure magnet field plus it collides or something

if i remember correctly the power for stage to field was from the first part where it generates enough to get there. kind of like wind turbine tbh but replace wind w plasma lmao

tbh.. I don't even know fully how tokamak works but it might also spin something. My bad. nope.

[manic torrent]

mehhh. that is already the case.

[steep girder]

Well capitalism is one thing but not having enough power for 2035 goal and still going for it lol

I guess yeah alleged deals with over the ocean green solar panel shipping can easily tempt someone into leading humanity headfirst towards rolling blackouts. Now this is actually the time to pick out UPS maybe lol

Tbh no because the battery charged less than it was discharged

Texas already had a nice blackout during ice storm (of all things) because wind turbines apparently froze lmao. They said it was because not enough money was spent on getting the heavy duty ones for north pole.

[elfin jetty]

Texas' power grid is held together with duct tape and prayers

[steep girder]

But honestly its texas I certainly never even imagined that turbines would freeze there lol. They broke too

So repair costs. They're basically giant coolermaster fan lol. So eventually all of them need some amount of maintenance. Then 2035 we like drive around 300km field on teslas from one end to another to fix them

[steep girder]

Well I mean it was the turbines apparently. Maybe its bs though who knows. Im surprised that much power was getting produced in the first place...

[pastel moon]

I mean 360hz for £270

or £165 for 144hz

feels like 360hz is worth it

[steep girder]

Actually netherlands but wind is higher... I think

On google, it shows 'how much is nuclear power' but then it lists energy in TWh with unknown time frame lol

I guess year

but wind its per century

[manic torrent]

dude, "not having enough power" is a garbage argument.

[steep girder]

Are you sure 420Hz isn't better tho

[polar fern]

Spot the snoozle

[manic torrent]

not having enough power RIGHT NOW to meet targets in 12 years, oh no.

if only we didn't have 12 years

[steep girder]

Well availability? I mean wind can like... die. Idk how much less it produces when theres the most calm possible weather

[polar fern]

Power for what?

[manic torrent]

you don't have the information to make an informed conclusion, you're regurgitating reactionary garbage.

[steep girder]

Im literally looking it up right now. But how does power not matter?

[manic torrent]

cars.

[manic torrent]

looking it up AFTER you have made various claims, not before.

[polar fern]

Like grid power for charging?

[steep girder]

You can have 6.9TWh per year energy output... but what good is that when one day it stops producing power altogether. Now everybody is without electricity

[manic torrent]

obviously it matters, but to say 'omg we can't have electric cars' is ridiculous

[steep girder]

Oh no Im not saying that lol

I dont even want an electric car tbh

[manic torrent]

wtf are you on now. Dude, there are people who spend their entire lives working on this shit

[fossil frost]

if only there was a way of storing that energy... or... other ways of generating electricity at the same time

[steep girder]

Fair point...

[manic torrent]

😮 impossible

[rustic grove]

guys today i celebrate 5 years of watching LTT

[manic torrent]

congratulations?

[polar fern]

We should be reducing car dependency, not just switching out the drive type

@rustic grove woo 👍

[manic torrent]

I don't disagree - but it doesn't change that the argument came from being reactionary, not from any actual information

[steep girder]

Im guessing storing enough energy for a day or two is easy?

[polar fern]

Mhm

[manic torrent]

it's not that simple. but again - people are literally experts in this field. They design and build power grids so they DON'T go out.

[rustic grove]

what graphics cards can run fairly decently off of a 500w psu? (as well as an i7 3770K, soon upgrading though)

[manic torrent]

what happened in texas was a failure of capitalism and regulation.

[steep girder]

How though. We'd gotten here potentially thanks to cars without which we'd be in dark age potentially. We were always car dependent... just that before they were machines we called them horses 😛

[fossil frost]

its almost like there is an entire industry dedicated to doing just that...

[steep girder]

Tbh one horse per person: is that enough horse farts to endanger ozone layer more than cars?

[manic torrent]

if only it was possible to do more things locally, and work from home

[fossil frost]

"we were always car dependant"... really? the industrial revolution happened long before cars, humanity became what it is now, before cars...

[rustic grove]

im siding with you here- power grids and other away-from-home power sources are VERY redundant in terms of power coming in and the power being dished out.

[fossil frost]

how long do you think cars have existed? how long do you think they have been affordable?

the flintstones isnt a documentary, or archive footage...

[manic torrent]

120 years give or take

[polar fern]

The idea that we don’t have enough grid power before switching everything to electric vehicles is based on bullshit misinformation.

[manic torrent]

not even, it's based on nothing, and then backed up after the fact with misinformation.

[polar fern]

Basically

[manic torrent]

like, this is a complex issue, but what's not complex is if we have the ability and knowledge to deal with it.

[polar fern]

By the way, power grid capacity is another topic relevant to metals recycling

The amount of electricity needed to smelt raw ore into refined metals is absolutely wild

[wind pulsar]

We were always dependent on naval trade in some way or another, but fuck the cars, wtf

[manic torrent]

ironically, without cars we'd do better than without trucks

[lament willow]

i did some speech synthesizing today

[wind pulsar]

Even more so, just infinity snapping the cars away would make it much easier by default as well lmao

[polar fern]

https://primary.world-aluminium.org/processes/power-generation/

[rustic grove]

so lets say this is true, in that case people who agree are trying to say that there wont be enough power to go to every house if they all were charging EV’s. right? we are already used to houses using 950-1050KWH a year (UK), so it dosent make theoretical sense to say that Electric cars will change the redundancy and amount of backup systems that the power grid has.

[manic torrent]

reducing car dependence:

• improves quality of life for everyone, especially those with low incomes
• reduces environmental impact
• decreases noise levels and air quality
• increases activity levels
  and a bunch of other side effects. Most days I don't drive at all... although I do have two cars

[polar fern]

Well it’s not saying that it’s true, it’s a fact

[fossil frost]

most people would charge their car over night.... guess when the power grid is at its absolute lowest usage?

[wind pulsar]

The first car ever was made 137 years ago and cars got pretty affordable around 10 years later, when our lord Ford came along

[steep girder]

Fair enough. I kind of disregarded ships true. But weeks in the atlantic ocean sounds cool to do a few times. Tbh always wanted to be on cruise ship or something across atlantic. I've touched the pacific and atlantic water; ive crossed from new to old world many times since I'd been a kid. But something about sailing from east coast to north sea eventually into baltic through some river to the very end of gulf of Finland. Literally back to where I was born.

[manic torrent]

yes, although ford is deeply problematic, but yes

[polar fern]

There is more than enough electricity being supplied to the grid for all of the stuff

[steep girder]

I'd only teleported there and back by plane

[rustic grove]

yes, and not to mention the people who have solar, which is a growing market

[fossil frost]

B&Q in the UK are now starting to sell DIY solar for the home this year

[manic torrent]

electric cars LITERALLY store energy

[polar fern]

I want to see neighbourhood sized fourth gen nuclear power

[rustic grove]

yeah, due to lowering entry costs companies based here in the UK will do that

[manic torrent]

we'll probably see fusion before then 😦

[polar fern]

🤷‍♂️

[steep girder]

Probably giant liner though. I would be scared to take anything with a sail across atlantic lmfao. The waves can get nice and shtuff happens according to murphy's law. Like two ships supposed to pass eachother on right side I think by protocol but one somehow doesnt notice you... the captain panicked and tried to dodge left; other ship turns right as per protocol

[polar fern]

The current mode of fusion has been successful is not something that can be easily scaled up to commercial power production

[steep girder]

They collide and like ship seemed fine until it wasn't. It was sinking slowly.

[fossil frost]

i think we would see something that used to be a warehouse or an office building sized building converted into "micro stations" before then

[wind pulsar]

Was about to say, there'll be no need for that since people have set their eyes to Nuclear fusion instead of further developing Nuclear fission

[polar fern]

What we need is a mode of fusion, that’s both cost-effective and can be deployed on commercial scale to replace oil/gas fired plants

[manic torrent]

meh. forget that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_wave - this is something we didn't confirm until 1995

[polar fern]

4th gen nuclear is designed from the outset to be unable to have a meltdown

[steep girder]

I mean fusion can be done to the point where fission happens lol.

[rustic grove]

i have a load of parts coming over the following week, because my 3rd gen i7 needs to go into retirement already and my radeon hd 7770 needs to just disappear and never come back

[manic torrent]

oof yes. That is a barely functional PC

[polar fern]

Rogue waves are most common with currents and winds oppose each other

[unkempt widget]

held together is a strong phrase

[rustic grove]

it was fairly decent to me and still is, funny enough i ran vr on it for a while, but i need an upgrade since i brought a quest 2 upgrading from my rift

[steep girder]

I think hydrogen bombs are special in that way. It's like a nuke but with a shell of heavy water. Deuterium and tritium. Then theres some moment where it fuses into helium 5 or some crap. Then fission again I guess. Tbh not sure what helium 5 does but it somehow speeds up chain reaction. Or maybe Helium 4 or I have it all wrong entirely.

[unkempt widget]

(it isn't held together at all)

[rustic grove]

also need the power to run higher frames in game, and 3d renders

[manic torrent]

even calling it a grid is strong

[rustic grove]

i visited texas a few years back and im pretty sure i saw a powerline held with tape (seriously)

[unkempt widget]

bruh

[steep girder]

But I know for a fact that hydrogen bombs are called fusion bombs sometimes because they are designed to have some brief fusion and it helps nuke explode nuclearly lol. Tbh idk why you need that but... I guess if we can build it

[rustic grove]

texas moment

[unkempt widget]

btw isn't thorium super safe

[manic torrent]

basically

[unkempt widget]

we just don't use it because we can't blow people up with it

[steep girder]

Tsar bomb was still largest to this day and that was like 50s. They actually dropped a smaller one that was a fraction of what originally they planned. They didnt even have a way to drop it properly. The pilots were flying out of there for their lives lol

[manic torrent]

guys I saw a fusion bomb in the sky yesterday

[steep girder]

Then like the shockwave apparently wrapped around the earth a few times lmao.

[vapid smelt]

🌞

[steep girder]

That's not a fusion bomb though. Idk if you even saw the fusion part really lol

[manic torrent]

how is it not

[unkempt widget]

imagine how intimdating it would've been to feel a rattle on the ground because the enemy of your country just tested a nuclear bomb

[steep girder]

Either way the light coming out is the energy coming out.

[rustic grove]

oh yeah funny thing, i got to work on an ibm power 10 a few days ago, really complex shiz

[steep girder]

I don't think it happens in the surface. The fusion really starts deep in our sun

[vapid smelt]

soon the sun will go boom

[past egret]

soon as in like a couple billion trillion years

coming to a system near you

[unkempt widget]

it's like 8.9999999 billion

[steep girder]

It's sustained fusion inside a star right in front of us since forever lol. Talk about getting taunted.

[unkempt widget]

because i've been told it was 9 billion years, a few years ago

[glass sable]

“Soon”?

Man what are you

[unkempt widget]

™️

[vapid smelt]

in 420 days

[unkempt widget]

he's very old

[glass sable]

😱

[steep girder]

But it's because of gravity tbh. Kinda different. We'd have to build something heavy (probably big enough) to gravitate itself together to the point of any fusion

[unkempt widget]

and will live for very long

[manic torrent]

what even IS gravity. fuckin magnets. how do they work?

[glass sable]

The immortal penguin

[glass sable]

Shhh don’t think too hard

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, apart from it being 'a force', we don't actually know jackshit what gravity is

[manic torrent]

actually... not a force.

[glass sable]

^

[unkempt widget]

never knew gravity was made by magnets

[glass sable]

No he’s saying they’re both magic

[unkempt widget]

oh

[steep girder]

Then like it's already in a different ballpark where you have some few thousand times that mass maybe and it's collapsing so hard that it breaks apart even the stuff making up the nuclei that fused. Apparently it has to be possible within a very tiny sweet spot to get just quark soup or some weird crap.

[past egret]

shadow wizard shitz

[unkempt widget]

wdym gravity's not a force

[steep girder]

But it's insanely rare probably. Usually overshoots and black hole lol

[unkempt widget]

tf happened to your pfp

[steep girder]

Who knows wtf that is. It fused its own spacetime lol

[wind pulsar]

Generally seen as some type of 'force' or a 'mutual interaction'

NASA even calls it a force, so idk
https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/what-is-gravity/en/

[wind pulsar]

I changed it?

[unkempt widget]

oh i thought it was a weird mobile bug

where your server pfp doesn't show up

[steep girder]

NASA looks at it classically. Relativity and defs quantum mechanics aren't really a part of physical expedition and mission control whatever

[wind pulsar]

It doesn't matter

[steep girder]

Tbh we still to this day only measured G with respect to everything else... not entirely to exact precision lol

[wind pulsar]

It's this now

[steep girder]

But it's good enough lmfao. I mean if you can plan orbit to descent on mars on 20x20m target...

[unkempt widget]

don't they teach G as 9.82 in sweden

[steep girder]

I guess the landing is probably also important tbh. Still though. I mean they launched new horizons like a decade in advance and it passed by pluto that closely

Even correcting a tiny bit once a while.

[wispy marsh]

What's a good remedy for chronic insomnia?

I saw those sound headbands linus featured

[wind pulsar]

A doctor

[past egret]

diazepam

[wispy marsh]

New pfp

[past egret]

lots of diazepam

[wind pulsar]

It's the screen I sent above, mhm

[wispy marsh]

I don't think they sell diazepam

[steep girder]

I think it wasnt even correcting target. It was something causing it to go off original course too. But yeah NASA: landing sht on next planet bullseye with calculations based on theory technically

[wispy marsh]

Elezen do be tall

[wind pulsar]

That's a Miqo lol

[steep girder]

Lol I forget. Isn't it 6. something x10 to some power

A lot of them are 6 for some reason

[manic torrent]

sleep

[steep girder]

Planck in the usual form whatever that signifies is 6.626x10^-34 if I remember

But more digits

Avagadro is 6 something. Lots of 6. Idk.

[wispy marsh]

I almost got a planck

[steep girder]

6 * 6 + 6 =

[vapid smelt]

666

[steep girder]

42 hl3 confirmed

[wispy marsh]

42

[steep girder]

Ok im signing off for a while. Gotta do boring things

Didn't get the planck

[cunning yoke]

Is there a tool/method for transferring/syncing save files for emulated games across a Steam Deck and a PC?

Ideally one that's as hassle-free as possible

[graceful burrow]

Yes I cannot remember the name though

[cunning yoke]

SyncThing?

[wispy marsh]

Robocopy

[graceful burrow]

Boilr I think?

[cunning yoke]

Ooh, hadn't heard of that one. Wonder how well that works with Emudeck + retro acheivements

[graceful burrow]

It is not boilr

[cunning yoke]

But does Boilr make it so there's a steam cloud save?

Ah okay. Still seems like a useful tool for rounding up all the random games I have strewn across multiple launchers and such on my PC. It'll be nice to see my library at a glance when I'm deciding what to play

[pastel moon]

?

[pastel moon]

360hz for £270
144hz for £165

what do you think?

[neon mesa]

144

You just can't notice anything higher

Even VR only requites 120 for absolute smoothness

90 is the standard even

[full fossil]

idk if i should’ve got 24GB vram

[neon mesa]

What for

[pastel moon]

gaming

fps mainly

streaming

[neon mesa]

Lmao no

[full fossil]

you can check #gaming

particular game used 14GB vram

[harsh pike]

do pixel buds a and airpods have the same sound quality?

[full fossil]

check reviews

[harsh pike]

lk

[vapid smelt]

can your gpu run your games you play at 360fps?

[vapid smelt]

https://crinacle.com/rankings/iems/

[pastel moon]

building a PC will be 7900XT & 7800x3D

[full fossil]

pixel buds might sound better but if you value noise cancelling and transparency airpods are still on top and theres no competition, that being said airpods still sound good they have a pretty mature bass and is mid forward

[full fossil]

is there one for headphones

[vapid smelt]

i would go 4k 27inch or 1440p 27inch personally

[vapid smelt]

https://crinacle.com/rankings/headphones/

[full fossil]

27" 1440p uwu

[harsh pike]

i thought regular airpods dont have noise cancelling

[vapid smelt]

what rock are you living under?

[full fossil]

uh oh i didnt find a JBL Quantum 300

the finest rocks and dirt

[full fossil]

i know 😔

[vapid smelt]

making up fake headphones smh

how about pc38x

i need to buy a new headphone

[vapid smelt]

uwu

oh but its open back

[vapid smelt]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RFNZYJZ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W1G95PH my "gaming" headphones

[full fossil]

o.o

[vapid smelt]

open back is way better for gaming and overall sound

[full fossil]

but sound leaks right

[vapid smelt]

yeah

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

[full fossil]

umu

[full fossil]

oh i mean airpods pro, i would get pixelbuds vs regular airpods

[pastel moon]

I would

but I'm travelling and gaming and streaming

I don't mind going 1440p but can't got above 24/25in

plus is there a way I can ditch the standard stand and use a different add-on to stand up the monitor? @vapid smelt

I really need to save on weight and make it as compact as possible

but want a 24" which is suited for gaming with <2ms and 144hz+

[vapid smelt]

laptop

[pastel moon]

I can't

going for sff PC (too long to explain why over a laptop)

[heady flicker]

open back was a blessing I never thought I needed

[pastel moon]

what I'm going for is very unconvential

thoughts on BenQ Mobiuz EX240 24 Inch 1080P FHD IPS 165Hz @vapid smelt ?

[manic torrent]

looks fine

[pastel moon]

the answer was yes right? ofc with a 7900XT and 7800x3d

so then the 360hz?

[vapid smelt]

yeah it can run that

[pastel moon]

I really need some DIY solution to get rid off stock stands

[manic torrent]

hz is diminishing returns

[pastel moon]

and to make it something that is more like a portable monitor stand with just a monitor size bit that props out

[manic torrent]

there are many many ways to DIY monitor stands, and I've done most of them 🙂

[pastel moon]

yano?

[manic torrent]

like this?

[pastel moon]

but whole point here is diff to most ppl - not a monitor arm or stand that stays but like a portable one

[pastel moon]

yeh tbh you're the only one I've seen

[manic torrent]

that's because it doesn't exist

[pastel moon]

just wondering first of - how big are those screens?

[pastel moon]

it rly doesn't 😦

[manic torrent]

XPS13 with a 15.6" 4k IPS additional screen

[pastel moon]

gotcha

and I'm trying to do something even more non-sensical

I'm trying to have a portable setup which is still

[manic torrent]

it's optimised for weight as well

[pastel moon]

24" main screen

[manic torrent]

your setup is movable, rather than portable

[pastel moon]

and 17" or more secondary

[pastel moon]

yes

[pastel moon]

I neeed this too

many things here are it is "moveable" and it is lightweight as possible

[manic torrent]

yeah but I'm guessing you're not carrying it around a city to get to work

[pastel moon]

nope

[vapid smelt]

dyi laptop screen

[pastel moon]

more like travelling on a plane to a destination for 2-3 week

then onto another and another

[pastel moon]

ooo..

it could work tbh - scares me a tad tho

port-wise and setup wise it won't be as simple as a normal monitor right?

a normal "made for market" monitor

[vapid smelt]

4k 144hz

[manic torrent]

https://eblaztr.com/

[pastel moon]

this is fine for secondary and have seen a couple options - like a made for purpose ViewSonic VX1755 17-inch 1080p IPS 144Hz Portable Gaming Monitor

[manic torrent]

you sound like the ACTUAL market for this product

[pastel moon]

though admittedly that's a lot cheaper

[full fossil]

71.41 delivery

[pastel moon]

yep lol

[vapid smelt]

still cheaper than most 4k 144hz monitors

[full fossil]

its also 17 inches wide with only hdmi and type c

[lilac sage]

honestly why is it so big.

[vapid smelt]

more ppi bb

[full fossil]

i guess if you want that

[lilac sage]

use desktop parts and then stick a laptop monitor instead. it isnt that hard

[pastel moon]

already spent 5 hrs on a meshroom beat build though

but I'd be open to it, if it could fit all components

I don't think it can fit a full GPU though

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuvmzSGlP08

[neon mesa]

It's literally bigger than a lot of SFF build

[lilac sage]

its kinda dumb

[pastel moon]

watching atm

[pastel moon]

yeh but tbf it kinda solves the monitor stand mount issue

kinda..

[full fossil]

its also dumb

[neon mesa]

You can use laptop monitor with diy hinge

[pastel moon]

YES

was thinking this tbh..

and then just stick to my meshroom build

[pastel moon]

but curious watching this

I like the "idea"

[neon mesa]

There are one of those series s sized cases

[pastel moon]

?

[neon mesa]

PC case

[lilac sage]

Xbox Series S sized case

like velka case

velka 3

or the dan cases

[neon mesa]

Really looks like pain to build on

[lilac sage]

ye

[neon mesa]

It would be easier to "build" a laptop

You can do with spareparts

[vapid smelt]

https://www.amazon.com/SSUPD-Meshlicious-Mini-ITX-Small-Factor/dp/B09CGQTTTR

[neon mesa]

What prevents us from just reball a new cpu into a laptop?

Aren't the chips ball socket standardized

As long as they're the same generation to be safe

[pastel moon]

thats the case I was planning on using

[pliant karma]

good old sennys

ahh yess novideo moment on my remote system

that is actually connected to a display atm

while being remoted into cause I am lazy to have any keeb+mouse connected to it

[vapid smelt]

upgrade to intel

[pastel moon]

okay watched it all and it honestly is exactly the market I'm in for @manic torrent

but dimensions are too big

[pastel moon]

so maybe the best thing is stick with the Meshroom S build and then go for this?

[pliant karma]

a770 is on my radar so maybe but 750 might just work well enough

[pastel moon]

laptop monitor + DIY hinge?

[pliant karma]

since I only use this system for rendering

[vapid smelt]

what a nerd

[pastel moon]

wondering what the pros and cons to that would be

versus just a standard monitor (lightest I can find)

[pliant karma]

https://tenor.com/view/theft-irish-judge-american-gods-a-prayer-for-mad-sweeney-robbery-gif-18716055

[vapid smelt]

do you own a 3d printer?

[pastel moon]

no 😢

[pastel moon]

were you gonna say just 3D print myself at right dimensions?

[vapid smelt]

yes

[neon mesa]

770 if you need vram

[vapid smelt]

are you asking to be banned?

[pastel moon]

any laptop screens for 24" 144hz+

?

[vapid smelt]

24inch laptops?!

[pastel moon]

lol

it's not a thing?

[vapid smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-no-nonono-noooo-cat-no-gif-25423213

[pastel moon]

17 inch is cap right?

tbf I'm looking at my 16 inch laptop rn and I don't mind the size tbh

so maybe 17 inch is enough..

used to have a 24 inch monitor

but now if I went back it'd probably feel HUGE
