Eh, people stan public transit but it's mostly only good for urban populations
Public transit is incredibly cost-inefficient for dispersed rural areas
The number of times I've had close calls with death.. it's amusing af
One of these days I'm going to get hit
I swear
Back in the day, car companies would bribe cops to publicly shame jaywalkers instead of fine/arrest them
Only modern instance i’ve seen is back in college where cops would use it as a means to bust underage drinkers. When going out to bars, NO ONE would EVER jaywalk
I wouldn't know, I have never gone to a bar. So TIL?
the battlefield hardline beta came out in 2015 😩
I need to find a cheap am4 aio for a 5800x using a stock cooler lol
my corsair 360 was 50
Info?

yea, that hits hard
Why it does look like the training data for cat deepfakes
uh
Australia internet
I was wondering if that would be a pinout for getting serial comms in an ugly way but sadly that seems utterly useless (no ground)
Wait no, IO, VCC, GND, Reset
the real question is does it work?
lmao, no.
Funfact, sim cards run an itty-bitty real-time operating system mainly loaded with crypto libraries and access keys
I think it could but SIM adapter boards are like... $2
Keep in mind communicating with a sim card is also pretty stinkin' complex.
Eh, not really
I've seen pretty basic tools for interfacing with them, though you can make it more complex for doing fancy stuff with applications I'm sure
Good job FedEx
I mean in terms more than just prodding it with commands
What did you expect? It's shipping
To not look like it was yeeted off a bridge
Luck of the draw 😛
Well now I’m worried….I just used FedEx
I'm bewildered by last-mile parcel services that do things like this
I've had a bashed up box maybe.. twice in the last decade
Hell a lot of the time retail says something is "out of stock" it's because the box or item got damaged by us and now we gotta wait for the next one that comes. This is speaking from experience.
I expect much worse from shipping companies
If retail is this bad
april fools idea: say the channel got hacked
Honestly it's been a few years since I've had something like this happen, most of the time stuff is fine
they won't suspect a thing
Part of the issue is I think the shipper did a bad job and used a non-shipping box
What was in it? No problem because tshirt or something or are you sitting with a maybe dead gpu or broken glass?
It was a rack mount loudspeaker amp, I think it's probably fine
Every time I get something from FedEx the box is always messed up
I was so scared when I got my desk cause there were holes in the package
That took effort.
I've seen pallets where it ain't coming out of the truck without the whole pallet coming down.
after SOOO FUCKING LONG
ive finally made my parts list for my first ever pc that i will get in a year
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2556SEJCRV1TX?ref_=wl_share spent like almost 3 hrs
a year? a little enthusiastic
Umm, I'd have waited a year, before making the parts list
I'd also have used PCPartPicker
Asus made a 4090 air fryer
Boring. I think they did that before with a different GPU
any audiofiles that could give recommendations for 2.1 or 2.0 with upgradability to 2.1 for a tv and a turntable under $450?
audiophiles*
my bad
shrugs all good
It’s nzxt tho soooo
Are the new 3D Ryzen chips actually ass
Chicken bake from Costco>
They're fine
Not as interesting as the 5800 though
who let the tates out...
who up andrewing their tate
well, opted to nab a used 6700xt red devil for a little over 300 bucks.
even though its just a 6700xt, its a heck of an upgrade over a 1070 lol
also got my qnap nas to start adding another 2 6tb drives, it should give me a total of just over 20tb of space, and a new to me dell poweredge r730xd rackmount server to play with
Holy hell ups units are heavier than i expected
They are basically a small towr pc on their own
I mean yeah you're basically going from a 1660ti to a 2080ti
Yeah a 6700xt is a good card.
I hate writing so much the college board gave me permission to take my ap computer science ap test online
I mean, yeah. It's lead acid (typically) batteries that are big enough power stuff for a while.
It isn't online to start with?
No it’s actually a paper test
U have to hand write code
what no thank you
neurodiversity is a mild superpower in a neurotypical world
I’m also blessed with more test time for all my tests
Up to 1.5x times more. I don’t need it it’s just nice to have
Got this one, feels actually sort of decent, idk tbh cause its my first ups
Amazon Basics Line-Interactive UPS 1500VA 900 Watt Surge Protector Battery Power Backup, 10 Outlets - Black https://a.co/d/gxjBZgT
Amazon basics for a ups? I know their getting better but for a ups?....
I bet it's some low-spec'd eaton ODM model
If something happens i can just return it
Im only plugging 2 things into it
And if something happens to the equipment it's attached to?..
Wouldnt they be responsible for that?
Nope. Only one responsible for damage is your insurance. You could maybe try to get them to cover expensive stuff, but they may make you get a lawyer to do it
$20k coverage, other UPS manufacturers have upwards of $100k+
"This limited warranty is null and void if: a power disturbance damages the connected equipment through the phone, network or coaxial lines; the Surge Protector in use during the Occurrence is not provided to us for inspection upon our request at your expense; we determine that the Surge Protector has been opened, improperly installed, altered in any way or tampered with; we determine that the damage to the connected equipment did not result from the Occurrence or that no Occurrence took place; the repair or replacement of the damaged connected equipment is covered under a manufacturer's warranty or seller's extended warranty; you use the Surge Protector in any way with a generator, heater, sump pump, water-related device, life support device, medical device, car, motorcycle, or golf-cart battery charger; or we determine that the damaged connected equipment was not used under normal operating conditions or in accordance with any manufacturer's instructions for the connected equipment."
I would also want to see real examples of amazon covering damage like that before i risk it. Easy to have something fancy on your page, even easier to make up a bullshit excuse because they dont think youll go to court
This is a very, very shitty warranty
There are over a dozen ways for them to skirt themselves out of paying a penny
I intend to use it under normal operating conditions, one pc and one monitor
Do you overclock? there's a way out for them
They almost certainly got a big oem to make it for them
I have a few pcs to spare
that isn't my point...
I dont overclock, and how would they prove that in court? They only request the ups
How would you prove you didnt?
What's everyone most useless tech related items you have owned?
My guy, all you have to do is take off the overclock
Yes. But at that point its he said she said. And then amazon already wins because their lawyers are on retainer, yours presumably arent
My point is to do research into something that's going to protect a bunch of money.
(also from the reviews their modified sine wave looks like a square wave. Blech.)
My guy, its running a few old machines i use as basic game servers i run, the worlds are backed up on a different pc. I have spares too
If you trust amazon to cover it then cool. Your money is your money go ahead. Doesnt stop people from saying it was a poor buy due to x y or z
Think of it as an experiment
I could get an oscilloscope and check, id have to buy one though
Then what would be a good ups
me who gets nothing in india
I'm jealous
If you don't mention it
Then they're not gonna ask
You underestimate the ability of lawyers
Why on earth would Amazon decide that it would be better to give their lawyers tens or hundreds of billable hours instead of just paying a couple grand to fix someone's PC
Amazon doesn't get off on screwing customers for no reason
A couple hundred at this rate, im on a ryzen 5 3600, lol
How can they prove that you overclocked if you don't tell them
I think my psu is dead...
Like it probably costs Amazon hundreds of dollars just to talk with their lawyers
They're not gonna litigate over a gaming pc
Oof, I'm sorry for your loss
What sucks is that there is no way for me to check if my parts are okay bc my power is out
Its not even like top teir, its a 3060ti with a 3600 and 16gb of ram
I have all my stuff backed up offline and in other places as well
plus if its actually decent enough that just means i saved a buck
Very different from UPS
Yes, the point is that you don't need a UPS for a gaming pc
Well it can help against dirty power from a fan etc, You can also use it when your power is out for a little bit
i more only need it for the time it takes for the backup generator to kick in for the house
which is a few seconds
Though they mostly handy because I used them for my server when power is out
this, when my 3d printer is goin my pc doesnt like it tbh
Ah
Yeah, that makes sense
if its atleast good enough for that i'll be happy with amazon lmao
The same thing happens with me but with my fans, And cant put them on a different circuit because My outlets are Daisy chained
Was it a GTX 480? :)
damn, thats even worse tbh
Idk, I don't remember
So if one of my outlets go out more go out as well until the dead one is replaced
I read somewhere that you'd want a double conversion UPS if you're going to combine it with a gen in that way. When I tried that with my cheapo standby UPS it kept cycling on generator power.(used up the battery completely while recieving power)
hm, well I'll monitor it and see if i notice something wrong
Daisy chained sockets is fairly standard. It's all one circuit so you wouldn't recieve any benefit from wiring them in parallel
ik, it's just really annoying when a outlet dies
is this a heartbeat
Oscilloscope, "modified sine wave" output from an amazonbasics ups
It is not good.
I mainly just need it for power cleanup, its not gonna stay off ac for long
Are you sure you're not blowing the circuit breaker with your monster PC and those fans?
what? i wasnt the one with the fan issues
Oh sorry, the underscores guy
imagine when 4090s will be like relics of the past
I wonder where we will be by then
Quantum Computing GPUs? :P
me?
Yeah, at least in the states the standard is 15A for a circuit.
You can blow that with a space heater + a PC easy.
simple load switching, just use only one thing at once
oh yeah I did that a lot in the winter,
why use a space heater when your pc is literally just that
Just mine DOGE or smth in the winter if you're going to use electric heat ;)
ehh I wish my pc could do that, but my room is to big plus I don't have insulation, so in the winter I need 2 heaters up here
nope, i do folding at home, it is just as effective
Doge?
It's a meme cryptocurrency
ah
Don't get into crypto. It is silly.
Don't have to tell me twice
I woke up early today and was waiting for the WAN show to end so that I can watch on my own pace.
Four hours and twenty six minutes.
nah, just over 5 on fp
I don't have fp
hey guys, what presets do i use for exporting in davinci
my circuit is 13A, but the idiots who wired up this house connected my room to 3 different rooms and 2 hallways
Yes, well I was being a little silly. I used to mine a little bit of ETH back in the day, but that was before they started releasing ASICs
Became communist for April fools
Well done


what the hell
That's exactly what I said when I found out..
jesus i hope you can do something about it
Yo to FP subs, What is the FP exclusives I must watch
I have little experience with electrical so, can't do much
any local electricians?
not that I know of
ouch
This is common to chain bedrooms onto one circuit. Is it shitty? Yes.
I know nothing about the wiring of a house so how is it normally supposed to be?

BTW my previous residence was so old that it didn't have an electricity meter. They just had a fixed price that would adjust with energy prices. Can't believe I never took advantage of that 
I got my BLAHAJ
Ikea shork 
Red states are red for that very reason
But communism is red 
Exactly
the liquid in one of my liquid crystal displays is leaking onto my desk 😭
never seen it happen other than some Tesla dashboards until now
Your desk is going to be RGB
which one?
Is there a timer cooldown on tech support posts? I forgot to put a flair so I deleted the old and redid it, but it won’t let me post it
Clearly got scammed. I don't feel bad for you though, it's one of those too good to be true things
its insane just how few people cant smell a scam.
This is the same person who’s trying to wire up that 660 ti into their laptop through the wifi card slot
What’s the model number?
a friend told me i should try doing that with an RX 560
i have the monitor. the Dock, PSU and card i dont. sure, its cheaper than a New laptop. but i need a laptop anyway.
really it should only be done if you don’t have a desktop to plug it into
and intend on treating it like a desktop
@elfin jetty lead acid batteries man, they're heavy.
https://www.elac.com/category/floorstanding-speakers/debut-2-df52/
would i need any equipment to run this? i don't know really anything about audio equipment. i plan to hook up a tv and a turntable and a sub maybe in the future
here is the turntable if this info is needed
https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/at-lp60xbt
Yea lmao
you're going to need a pre-amp
Im making a backup of my system just incase
and then an amp for the speakers.
That’s googles auto complete confusing you. It’s not a 30 series
thx any recommendations?
now, some receivers may have a phono mode, which will substitute a pre-amp. do you have a receiver?
nope
hm...oh nice, that turntable already has a preamp in it, as well as bluetooth.
It may be FTW but it’s not FTW3. that didn’t exist at the time
though i would still highly recommend an amp or receiver if you're going to be powering speakers that big.
Doesn’t matter
what's the difference between the two?
you will have to find a receiver or amp that can power speakers at 140w at 6 ohms.
You have a 660 Ti FTW. Nothing more, nothing less
@craggy yew i mean, how loud do you want the speakers to be?
and how cool do you want the amp to look
i live in a town house, so not loud, and a quick google, i think i would want a receiver? as they have pre-amps in it, but they have more things? would i be able to control volume on a remote if i just get a preamp?
Amp makes noise go loud. Receiver is amp but also has other things like radio or bluetooth
they also do audio from a source, like if you have a roku or something
Congrats @full fossil you have a 660 Ti
i went to upgrade my ssd but i stripped one of my laptop screws in the process any idea what to do
you can send the audio/video signal into the receiver, outputting to a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound, and then outputting the video to your tv.
Newer ones have that yeah
yeah i would be taking audio from an apple tv and consoles as well... so i guess i need a receiver then
@lucid echo uh nah, receivers have been doing that since the 90's.
That’s just the model name that EVGA put on it. Branding/marketing
Oh weird, I’ve had several that don’t
I only heard of it recently. Nvm
they might have been lower end models, because i dont think my family has used a receiver that hasnt done audio and video lol
@craggy yew so the question now becomes, how much do you want to spend
budget friendly
Because that’s the name of it
They’ve kept using that name on other GPUs over the years
mind you, you can always go the much cooler route and use a tube amp
thats just a headphone amp that i have, and it looks great at night lol.
Don’t think about it too hard. Just go play game
those other tubes are called nixie tubes, and i have a nixie thermostat and clock.
headphone amp?
yeah, i have headphones that have high resistance to cut out on static and bg noise
ah yes, tube amps, infamously budget friendly 
lol thats why i asked him how much he was ok with spending
thanks for saving me a google search
is that a wild sanic
@lucid echo oh it gets worse, its a woo audio 6 se tube amp, they're like 1700 or 1800 bucks now.
i got mine in like 2010 for 500 or 600 bucks used
blegh
define budget
so, do you plan on doing HDR video?
$25 or $250
or 8k video
back to this, what does that mean
so the speakers have a given resistance in the voice coil of 6 ohms, and they can withstand 140w at that given resistance
140w of amplitude that is.
so like peak power?
yep
but ideally you want an amp that'll top out sooner than the speakers, or you can damage the speakers.
you don’t technically need an amp that matches the speaker wattage, but you do if you want to use them at their fullest potential
top out sooner? so the amp wont give the speakers too much power?
well, 140w is really loud tbh lol
eg I had 100W speakers running through a 25W amp for a long while
most people dont realize how loud 140w of actual audio sound is.
again town house
thats why i'm suggesting something lesser lol
what’s your budget homie
i will murder you if you use a amp not good enough for a speaker
tbh, that one aint too bad, you may want to consider it, 300usd, 4k video, hdr, 5.2 audio.
too much. dial it back
i'm not sure on if it has a phono in though
i dont plan to go 5.2, at the most 3.2, but im going to start at just 2.0, then add later
i will launch a nuclear bomb at you if you use a amp not good enough for a speaker /s
https://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-8220-Channel-Receiver-Bluetooth/dp/B075P831VY/ this stereo amp has a dedicated phono input
but it doesnt do any kind of hdmi audio/video
whatever you do, dont buy a pyle though
My Google account got terminated 
theyre a pyle of.....lol
is this a reference to the person that went to jail for a death threat that ended in "in minecraft" on 4chan
i got a pyle something at some point. can’t even remember what it was. that’s how long it lasted
so the question is, in usd, how much are you willing to spend.
how will it get audio from consoles and streaming box
around the price of the last two that was sent
~300
i've sadly never had a good experience when buying used/refurb so tend to stay away from it
ok so on the flip side, because this receiver has bluetooth, you might be able to connect the bluetooth from that turntable to your receiver and run it like that, not needing or caring about phono pre-amp's. https://www.amazon.com/Sony-STRDH590-multi-channel-Receiver-Bluetooth/dp/B078WG7HZY/
so what's phono?
its just something old turntables needed to work with amps, like a pre-amp
but the turntable comes with a built in pre-amp so does that mean there's no need for phono?
yeah so it should be fine regardless
now, cheaper turntables wont have bt or a built in phono pre-amp
but that one you linked is just easier to work with as it has modern stuff.
but yeah, that receiver, the speakers, and the turntable should work fine with each other.
you could also try and find a local vintage audio shop and see if they can help you if anything
correct
it's the one a plan to get, origanally i bought this one from best buy that looked like a suit case, and i learned the hard way that this stuff is expensiveeeee
now, you could also wait until audio technica releases the sound burger again
it was $50, it skipped and i felt scared for my new purchased vinyls
@TheGeekn°72#8433
https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/at-sb2022 much more compact, easier to use.
6700xt vs rtx 3070 considering price is the same
also portable
i looked through many reviews of the other, and went through a few "best turntables lists" and it was always in a list
edit: always
they'll be mass producing a model of it.
look up techmoan and he messes with older tech like turntables
3070, better features
yeah but can you even make use of the features it has
raytracing isnt really a value adding feature as it cant really use it
cant do dlss3.
I was thinking the same as the 3070 has a stronger core and better tech but its being choked by its 8gb vram whereas the 6700xt isnt
Yea ray tracing works fine 90% of the time and dlss 2 is available if not
so you're fine with cutting framerates in half, roughly, to enable one eye candy feature?
something that doesnt really add to gameplay in any significant way
8gb vram is it's drawback but you can't really argue with marginally better performance and features innit
there are instances in several newer titles where the 6700xt outperforms the 3070 coz of vram alone
slightly better rast
majorly better rt
yeah but for the price of a 3070, is it worth it
dlss support
Like I said it's an added feature, and, it works fine in RT 90% of the time. Dlss will also help in its longevity
so 3070>6700xt
depends on the game really imo
in my country on the used market they have the exact same price
also vsr support
Any Berkeley students here?
i think i know someone that works in the IT department there
I agree but shi 8gb is considered entry level for vram nowadays
cornell, thats where he works i think.
I ain't ran into any issues with it, not anything that won't make the 6700xt struggle anyway (I'm looking at you Hogwarts)
You might wanna price up the 6900 n all whilst you're looking
mate are you currently using a 3070?
what resolution are you playing at?
Yea
that too, 1080p, both are overpowered lol
Did anyone heard about sonic the hedgehog the murder video game ?
currently 1080p but after the gpu upgrade my next purchase will be a WQHD 1440p monitor
so what are the features of the sony receiver that would be significant?
don’t be concerned about the 8gb “limit”
keks in 3060ti at 1080p
60ti is a cracking card n all
4k and hdr capable i'd say.
one of the cool things you can do with receivers. is hook them up to your pc
and you can get 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound on your pc. if you want.
its why i have like 3 receivers. one for garage, one for living room, one for pc lol.
Im not super concerned but buying a 3070 i want to play 1440p ultra and there are some titles out rn like last of us, hogwarts and far cry 6 that struggle on 8gb cards
Those games are unoptimised pieces of shit tho, although I cant comment on farcry. The vram isn't an issue for last of us or Hogwarts anywau
god damnit dojo now i don't wanna upgrade my 3060 to a 3070
well i gotta get to sleep
i find it stoopid how nvidia is still equipping its cards with 8gb vram when my current r9 390 from 2015 has 8gb vram XD
dm me if you have more questions @craggy yew
Isn't Hogwarts kinda bad though
Or is it just me
Do you think the trend of games moving forward would follow those titles?
I'd honestly rather not support anything Rowling related
Gameplay it's ok ?, The performance is confusing as shit tho, there's no reason for the massive drops in frames. It ain't related to settings like, is weird
That's weird
Like I said those games are widely considered broke, last of us and Hogwarts anyway. Hogwarts especially.
sighhh theres so much FUD on the internet about 8gb cards, resident evil 4 just straight up crashes when using anything over
Aye you can ram dlss on, cut settings, drop to 1080 and you'll go from like 20 to 30 fps. But, then, you can go back to the same scene later on and it'll run smooth as butter
Hogwarts is just generally shit
^
Last of us is a dog shit port.
Im leaning towards the 3070 but would you recon if i could get the 6700xt for like 50bucks cheaper it would be worth it?
I wouldn't be concerned about it, I was using 4gb until 2 yrs ago. Eventually some games you might need to do some fine tuning but the reality is that something like the 70 does have better performance and better features. So price for price, it's a no brainer for me. If games are struggling, you can guarantee the 6700xt would suffer n all
yes
also hi bob
Yea if you're saving money then it's a diff arguement
i vote 3070
3070 is a stupid card. I know. I bought one.
3060ti is king
i vote 6700xt on the fact of new info of it being cheaper then the 3070
gpus are stupid
Thin king?
no.
yes
No, also garbage
the used market is stupid the 3060ti, 3070 and 6700xt are all the same price
I'd say yes
ding dong your opinion is wrong
3060ti is more expensive and slower than a 6700xt
oh i got mine a while ago
honestly this is just personal prefence at this point
mine is more dumb
yea but it has raytracing which i actually enjoy
its not cheaper but if i could bargain the dude down 40-50 buckeroos
Depends where youre from, but the 60ti when released at 370 was a monster.
Not enough.
it is for me
I mean if you game at 1080p30
plus its not a huge performance increase over the 3060ti
no i get like 1080p maxed rtx at 60fps or more
Note that I have a 3080ti and game at 4k
Is this supposed to be here?
in my market 3070 is cheaper then the 3060ti and the 6700xt is 150 bucks more then the 3060ti and the 3060 is 50 bucks less then the 3070
ok cool, not what we are talking about
It's a rat trap.
6700xt is cheaper
he was talking about his 3080
HAHAHAHAHA thats strange asf
p ure raster perf yes but raytracing no
No, I wasn't. I said that to point out I have perspective
Aye, here, the 6700xt is within 30 bucks of the 60ti, so I'd still pick the 60. On release tho you could get it for 370, where everything comparable was priced higher
wrong reply
i would still personally get the xt
i have no use for rt or dlss or cuda
so based on everyones input the 8gb for the 3070 isnt anything to worry about?
the current games are just unoptimized
yesn't
I disagree, it's nice to have features and the 6700 slots right between the 60ti and 70, where the benefits over one or the other were slim enough anyway
The 3070 is a 4k card except for the memory. if you're not doing 4k, it's fine.
i have a 3060 and i used rt exactly twice
That's cos you got a 3060 :p, bogging card
well that isnt confusing at all HAHAHA
weird coz it struggles playing 1080p ultra on some games
it was msrpppppppp during the mining crysis
Display Port > HDMI
on like cyberpunk maybe lol
Yeah, because ultra uses more ram. It's limited by ram, not GPU. Which is fucking stupid given that you can just... Put more ram on it.
In all situations?
Why they no use 2gb chips
Nvidia chooses to give less memory so you buy more often.
ahh yes! the classic download more ram
Still lol, I grabbed a few 60tis for RRP through out 🥷
Why I got nothing for praise for it, keeps pace with the 70 which was 100 bucks more and was readily available at RRP throughout in periods*
I have alot of 3060s
Because market segmentation!
Do you think that Resizeable BAR and UE5 could benefit cards that are Vram limited like the 3070?
when 40 class card?
Why no 16gb special edition
Well RRP for 60 (here) was 300, realistically it was 350 cos aib only, 60ti was 370, no brainer innit
I mean, obviously it helps, but direct storage would actually help more.
isnt direct storage a pcie 5.0 technology?
Again market segmentation! The 3060 12gb is basically a low end cuda card.
DLSS and frame generation help more
I don't believe so - just that it may benefit from it
is Direct Storage helping in any meaningful way anyway?
Do you understand what it is?
watching a LTT video on it rn XD
yes, but is it helping much, can you just, Turn it off and get a Vastly inferior experience.
.... It doesn't exist in PCs yet.
Forspoken has it, doesnt it?
What I thought,but I ain't upgraded my windows lol. It's on console tho innit ?, Which is gen 4 ?
Which is why I said it would help.
It does but the implementation is crappy iirc
Ah yes it does - but that doesn't necessarily mean a lot.
just like the majority of software that comes out today then?
like FR, Half Life never needed DLC to fix the game after launch.
That's valve tho, they tend to be polished lol
like any game studio should be doing.
Aye no doubt but it isn't a modern thing or even recent, it happened plenty of times back in the day n all
Shit quake became the game it was solely due to the bugs lol
AMD Bulldozer is superior for AI.
I knee it was the CPU series of all time.
but people loved Quake. theres a difference between a good game and a game that's taking "DLC" too seriously, by using it to fix the game
i need to go buy Isopropyl alcohol
They did but that doesn't mean it wasnt released broken and back then modding communities were heavily relied on to fix bugs and make the game better
Iirc quake 3 needed osp2 to make it ok
You're too "good" for just using hand sanitizer? 
I'm the best xP
Quake III Arena > All 
you mean Deathmatch Classic?
Clan arena was where the men played
When half life came out dlc wasn't a thing. The comparison is stupid.
yeah, Gearbox Expansions. and even HL2 was the same.
What’s a cheap ultrawide monitor 34 inches and above upto 49 inches (cheap for that size) and the clarity should be good (good ppi) like at least 3440x1440p for 34 inch
The Longest Yard only good Quake Map
Just.... Search for 34 ultrawide 3440x1440 monitors?
Below $1500 preferably

What?
I can see you wasn't a dm6 fan
I thought 43 inch or 49 any recommendations?
I use a 48" 16:9 oled
What brand
Aorus, the FO48U
Samsung?
Ok thx
Thats a tv bro
Ill get lg tv cause for now i am mainly using it for man
what i'm saying is the Half Life series got DLCs that didn't fix the games, because they didn't need it!
It isn't a tv.
Hm
Expansions. Not DLCs. And most of them were independent games. Also what do you mean fix.
Yes, it does. It isn't.
patches for game breaking bugs. and they are the same thing. you dont download them sure. but that argument is pointless
Ok
and yeah. you download it now anyway. because we have steam
... because the cost of game breaking bugs is different when you have a CD release and no day 0 patch. It's a different world. The comparison is not useful
TBF the gearbox releases were standalone games, they were more like mods
ye
i7 4770 or i3 12100F?
i mean not mods
For RX6600
Ye
do you even need to ask?
there were three expansions
Yes (im new to this)
DLC covers a whole lot of things that aren't a whole expansion
you know what the difference between 4 and 12 is?
Yes
what one do you think is better?
Go for the middle path,
Q6600, it's right in the middle between 4770 & 12100
maybe a bit closer to the 4770
you want the 12100, bur you REALLY want Ryzen
no
FX-8350 is more in the middle between the numbers 4770 & 12100
Go for the FX-8350
Calm down
I have a H610M
WDYM no? AMD is perfect now
Is there a reason to be toxic
Motherboard
"omg this guy isn't the most knowledgeable, instead of encouraging or helping him learn about CPUs let's make fun of him"
if you are going to buy a new motherboard anyway just get an AM4 board with a Ryzen 5000 CPU
Ryzen 5 3600?
@shut saddle you're new to PC building you said? And what are you trying to do, build a PC and you are looking for a CPU?

Jake was impressed with the price-to-performance ratio of the Mac Mini, but Minisforum is here to strike back with their new UM773. With an accessible price point, solid specs/IO, and a...
go for a 5000 series CPU
If that's the case then I also suggest AMD instead of getting an old Intel chip
Im new and I’m trying to build a pc
What's your budget, also is it just for gaming and stuff?
If you start at lower number
You can get the feeling of improvement,
by updating CPU more often! 
Intel is only worth it if you're doing things like Blender
Can you stop
Don't listen to r3m, he's just an internet troll
Maybe get Ryzen 3 1200 for starters 
Lol
Pre-amp “PHONO”: 2.5 mV nominal at 1 kHz, 5 cm/sec
Pre-amp “LINE” 150 mV nominal at 1 kHz, 5 cm/sec
would these deliver the same audio quality?
Literally only for gaming(apex legends only almost, def not gonna run any AAA games). I chose a used RX6600. Now I’m struggling to choose a cpu lol
it's not about how many inches, it's about how many inches per second 
What's your budget
intel aint worth it
I agree but if you're rendering in blender all day you will notice huge performance gains in Intel over AMD
maybe just go with a 5600
About 600$
It’s out of my budget
For just a Mobo/CPU, for everything besides the GPU, or for everything+ GPU?
Literally EVERYTHING (monitor too)
But did you already buy the GPU and now you have $600?
I haven’t bought one I just found a good deal
I don't the the 6600XT was the best choice for a low budget
you are looking at brand new arent you?
Nope. Used
Omg I have a genius idea
Get a crt for free and boom you got a high refresh rate monitor lol
okay then. skip the GPU and get the G chip
I’m only going to play apex and rx6600 already satisfies me
lol
There are cheaper cards that will run Apex
I want 120fps
If you have a crappy gpu you can always lower graphics to get more fps, but if you have a crappy CPU you can never increase your fps
no. FR. even though its Vega the Graphics still do alright. better than Intel/
That's how CPU bottlenecks work
A Ryzen 7 7800x3d + gt 710 can get 120fps in Apex, but an RTX 4090 + i7 4770k can't get 120fps
i guess you could look here?
https://youtu.be/W7z5ROqV2QE
Does that make sense? Cuz that CPU can't get more than 70 or so fps in Apex
Cheap upgrade path tho 😉
True the gt 710 is way easier to upgrade than the i7 4770k
Or are you saying it's cheaper to upgrade the CPU than GPU
can i output my gpu's video through my motherboards hdmi port with no igpu
Other way around, with a 4090 you just need a cheap 5600 and you're getting mega gains for cheap
if you are dipping this low then maybe its time to look at a cheapo laptop.
No
i've seen someone do it i think
Yeah but then you need a new motherboard and new RAM, plus reinstall windows probably
It's impossible, how would that work if there's no drivers lol
If you have an igpu then yes you can passthrough your GPU through the motherboard slots
Cheap tho
Point being, I think, its better to invest in a better card, and try to get a board that'll support a decent path, so something like a 450 series for the 5xxx. In all honestly if you can afford the 6600 n all, you're just better off saving up to get a 5600
That'll be a decent rig then. If you're going 3600 + 6600, or dropping the card down, it's just diminishing returns
I always recommend getting a good CPU first cuz it's more practical
But then again I'm the same mf with a Ryzen 7 5800x and Rx 480
guys i need a quick answer.....does shutting down my pc using the power button damage it?
Nah graphics deffo, cpus are easier to upgrade. So 450 with 3600 with the possibility for 5xxx in future
#valorantplayer moment
Seeing as you're buying the board and ram anyway, the only future investment will be a cheap enough CPU to utilise I a pretty good gpu
Also I play games on a CRT, 480p looks great so graphics = overrated gg
The thing I don't like about that tho is CPU bottlenecks can't be fixed, if your CPU can't get the desired frames then you're sol
So while you're saving up for a CPU, you're dealing with 60-100 fps when you want 120+ for example
Guys I have a genius idea. Give yourself a brain injury so you don't notice if your computer is slow.
But it cheaper to fix that bottleneck, is what I'm saying. You can make a good card shine with cheap shit but you can't make a bad card shine with cheap shit
Yes it is but you need $$ to fix it at all. With a GPU bottleneck just lower the graphics
I would get a i5 8th or 9th gen or the i3 12th gen or a ryzen 5 3600
Then you deal with potato graphics so you can improve at your game without being hindered by your hardware while you invest in a better card
Which is why I said anything lower is just diminishing returns and might aswell save for it.
You gotta invest in board, CPU, ram and GPU regardless. The most expensive single component in that is the GPU. If you go 450 and 3600, which would be adequate, you can move up for little outlay to a 5xxx series in the future
Also @shut saddle at your budget I'd recommend a Ryzen 5 2600x or 3600x used, get the rest of what you want, then at the end see how much you have for a GPU
But the difference in price, between a bad CPU, and a good CPU, ain't gonna be more than 50 bucks like
Wouldn't that be more of a reason to get a good CPU first
No?, Cos otherwise you're spending like 2 or 300 on a new card
If you spend $100 on an older CPU, then spend $200 on a beefier CPU later, now you just spent so much gg
Better option, get a $10 GPU and then you only spent $10
The difference between a 3600 and 5600 can't be that much on the used market especially
CPUs last way longer than GPUs when it comes to gaming setups
I'd disagree with that n all, depending on what you're playing obvs.
True and not true. CPUs last a long time, but CPUs don't get high fps for a long time. The i7 3770k can't even get 60fps in newer games now and the Ryzen 5 2600x as well struggles with higher fps in newer updates of stuff
Aye
It's like CPUs just bottleneck so fast once they show a little age idk how to explain it
If one's struggling you can guarantee the other is n all
It's like, for CPUs it feels like anything cheap will get you 60fps, and then you bridge that gap you need to dish out way more money
At least that's true for Valorant, Fortnite, Apex, and overwatch
hey guys! does anyone here have any experience with chromebook 2in1s? i have a few questions
You might have some luck in #linux
ok thanks
Guys i have computers they suck
April fools
I mean depending on the use case they can suck...
True console is best
unfunny
Yes. A UPS is a temporary bridge for you to shut down, or to transition to generator power.
I know what a ups is
I'm just surprised my pc is only drawing 300ish watts at full load
Ah ok. Yeah my GPU alone draws more than that.
thats.. alot of power
I mean, 4k is a lot of pixels
huh, this thing has more options then i thought it would
Lava Lämp 
yes brother
lamp
hell amazon basics ups for the win so far
still on bat power
but then again i'm just browsing the internet and discord soo
I'll do a gaming full load test after
damn even watching youtube and doing other stuff the batt just keeps on going
Can we get a cyber security channel in here?
it sorta happens on every channel every once in a while tbh
after what happened probably not for a while
What happened? Im new here 🙂
like last week the ltt channel got hacked
Ah right! We’ll that wasn’t entierly their fault. As Linus mentioned about the social media session token standards. I was thinking of an area to share news about cyber security 🙂
ye the problem is, even though it wasnt their fault most people will just see that they got hacked and wouldnt take cybersecurity advice from anything related to a company that just suffered an attack themselves.
Did u guys see opera gx is getting deleted?
i think its a april fools joke but it was tweeted march 31st
That is fair. However I’d argue that it comes down to how you talk about security. There are massive security vendors that gets hacked on a regular basis and the reality is that we need to talk about these exploits and attacks widely. Example, before Google helped normalize being attacked most companies would never admit they had been breached. Today more companies are taking security a lot more seriously (exception for Discord with their locally stored 2factor tokens haha).
and the paper they showed was made march 30th
Microsoft has yet to make a good product of their own devising.
Microsoft blackmails companies into using their security solutions like defender by not giving them the same price on their E5 license when renewing if they don’t install Defender for endpoint
I don’t know anything about that, but I stand by what I said
I feel like they have been quite honest about it, but i feel that it may also be a bit too much pressure for them, as if they made a channel, they would either have to hire more people or put more stress on themselves, either way someone has more stress with managing all of these teams. If they made a channel here, they would have to train the mods further to spot people giving false advice. I think it would be nice but probably not economically viable, when there are already plenty of cybersecurity channels on youtube like network chuck and others.
Eh?
Oh i think we missunderstood eachother. I meant a discord channel like a text room hehe
A discord channel for what?
Cyber security discussions
a channel here refers to a discord channel
about half way through
There is an active section of the form which handles most of that
My bad. Thats true. Didnt think of that angle 🙂
not bad for low load usage
this too there is a section on the forum at https://linustechtips.com
Imagine being covered in iron chain mail with your head stuffed in a great helm and now you’re expected to fight for 4-6 hours on foot
here comes the april fools prank... LOL
ayyyyyye uncle linus' server
Oh,this year is Uncle

Makes sense
I thought I'm banned for one minute
Turns out it's now linus farm tips
I mean he wouldnt say anything in here anyways, getting pinged like 5000 times a day.
on average.
Linus faming tips
1337 EU!
Im confused, did just alot of chatrooms also disapear?
Lol
ok I'm sort of tempted to pick up that water bottle, but don't want people to have the wrong idea at work, lol.
No, potato chat is still there!! 
Oh my potato! What's fried there?

Has anyone bought one of the NFTs yet?
Potato
Wait are there actually NFTs I was joking
where is the build channel (ask for build advice)
Go to lttstore.com type in search: potato
Oh god
Not Fungible Token.
fries nft???
(joke)
#build-a-pc would be your channel ❤️
I was joking.
Do you even harvest?
its real 😄

I thought it was 4.20 million
I watched the video, now this discord makes sense
Probably picked by robots
@karmic flame do you know if the LTT store items will be limited time?
what the hell happened
Cannot confirm or deny
Oh, I just noticed the black shaft screwdrivers are all sold out
i left for one minute
So how many potatoes did y'all plant this season?
Bout near 8 million... n you?
55,000 bushels
I didn't plant any I stole them
That's where my other million went you scoundrel
