I just can't stand the noise or light when I'm sleeping

[bright silo]

noise?

[granite raptor]

Gigabyte didn't do a good job with their manual, but guessing from how they named the port on the left should be it

[forest valve]

I have very sensitive hearing

[granite raptor]

I'll let yall know if my house burns down tonight

[bright silo]

there should be no noise?

[forest valve]

There always is some noise whether it's from fans in PC etc

[bright silo]

you can tune the fans so they spin at a low enough RPM to not be heard when idle

[forest valve]

I'm not doing all that lol, easier to turn off my PC

[bright silo]

its easy to tune the fans too but that works too

i turn off my PCs to conserve electricity, albeit only a tiny amount but still

[forest valve]

It's not just noise though the light bothers me, even the blinking Ethernet port LED

[bright silo]

why is it facing your bed lol?

[forest valve]

It's not it's to the side in front

[bright silo]

anyways you can fix the lights issue but as you said turning it off may be easier

[forest valve]

Yea

I left the power LED disconnected in case I need to leave it on to download overnight or upload on rare occasions

[bright silo]

you can typically turn that off in bios btw so you dont have to unplug it

[forest valve]

I never plugged it in

[dawn anchor]

is adding a second fan to a one-fan cooler worth it?

also how would you get the mounts

or is it even possible

[bright silo]

probably not and mounts can be found on amazon probably

[full fossil]

The problem is if the manufacturer sells that cooler with 1 fan, it probably just can't dissipate enough heat to need 2 fans

[granite raptor]

@bright silo hey man it booted and i got into the os

Thanks bro! Any recommendations for stress testing the cpu? What software does linus use

[bright silo]

im lost, what was this about again?

[granite raptor]

Hey, I recently lost my main pc cable to my Headphones (Logitech 433) which let me use my mic attached to the headphones. when i bought the product there was the pc cable which I lost, and another phone cable to connect to a mobile device. I plugged it in from my pc to my headphones but the mic doesnt work. Can anyone help.

[neat bane]

what the HELL is base system drivers. ive seen people say theyre chipset drivers but ive already tried like 3 different drivers and 2 different auto update driver apps and nothing has managed to fix it

[amber cairn]

When they're manufactured to be cheap and disposable, the OS has an expiration date and they're mostly bought for schools that thought they'd be cheap short-term and now screwed themselves with having to resupply more often which leads again to more e-waste

[neon mesa]

so, this isn't a (good) gaming PC, but if you need a small, low-powered box for basic tasks, or to sit on a TV And run media / apps?
At 350, you could do a metric fuckton worse:
https://slickdeals.net/f/16596812-acemagician-amr5-mini-pc-ryzen-5-5600u-up-to-4-2ghz-16gb-ddr4-512gb-m-2-ssd-3-yr-warranty-360-free-shipping

[dreamy rose]

5600U is acceptable but it'd probaby be much worth looking at a 6000 series mini PC.

or with a 7735

[hearty spear]

but for 350? you could do a hell of a lot worse

[dreamy rose]

absolutely

[hearty spear]

like, if I didn't have a full sized HTPC already? I'd probably consider one of these.

[dreamy rose]

that is celeron territory at below 400

[hearty spear]

and with a "performance" draw of 25W? It ought to be fuckin' quiet 99% of the time you run it

[dreamy rose]

a little pricey. but i'd say its worth it for the ability to game decently well.

I was searching for pico 4 off Facebook on an ecommerce app.
And suddenly on Facebook i got pico 4 ads from said ecommerce app 💀

[dreamy rose]

they shoulda been serving you Quest ads instead. Meta weak AF

[neon mesa]

I would get quest 2 if they didn't hike it 100 bucks

Now the Pico 4 is cheaper AND better
Take my fucking money (and data)

[hearty spear]

if someone wanted to game? Potentially.
But most people want a HTPC to basically be a better version of a Roku

[neon mesa]

Though i would use the pico for PCVR anyway soo, no data for bytydancy

[hearty spear]

(And for anyone who is good enough, They'll use steam Big Picture off their gaming PC or something along those lines.)

[neon mesa]

I was legit about to get the quest 2 last year

But the price hike on august hit at the same time and i decided to get a PSU and Case upgrade. And also spend some on flight sim. Followed by RTX 3060 upgrade. So it has been very much postponed

[dreamy rose]

legit i find the last of us optimization controversy to be a little weird

its the same situation as crysis, the game looked decent at max settings but it was also not well optimized but it wasnt as big of a controversy as it is now

it's just a neverending cycle

[gilded quest]

has it improved since launch?

[full fossil]

yeah kinda

[gilded quest]

is the controversy that is runs poorly
or is the issue that studios/publishers are letting go of QA & QC staff and rushing out titles that are clearly not ready yet

[hearty spear]

both? both?
Both is good

[full fossil]

Crysis was fidelity that hadn’t been seen in a game before
The point was to break hardware
Tlou is just broken

All sony ports are like this. Start off awfully, get better, end great

the point being to break hardware isnt an excuse for shit optimization

some modern lower end pcs can run the game fine but you'd expect it to run at above like 150fps at ultra, not only 70fps

[clear creek]

Yeah a randomass youtube channel having a higher number was the worst thing to happen to youtube, and not the Adpocalypse, Removal of Dislikes, and other terrible decisions done by Youtube

[hearty spear]

Yes and no:
If you're doing something that's actually ground breaking? Then the optimization for the hardware isn't around.

But nothing in TLOU is groundbreaking, graphics wise, it's just a shitty port.

[full fossil]

No.
The closest equivalent for OG crysis is the CURRENT version of cyberpunk with path tracing,
Can it be ran? Sure, by the highest end system at 20fps

[fluid ridge]

discord should have a zero knowledge end to end encryption option for DMs and private servers

[stray apex]

why would they ever want to do that

[fluid ridge]

market share from the rest of the E2EE instant messaging apps

[stray apex]

what market share

[fluid ridge]

• it's great for the end users

[stray apex]

do you think signal threatens discord's position

[fluid ridge]

Signal, Matrix, yada yada

[stray apex]

are people going to gaming telegrams

[gilded quest]

let signal do its thing

[fluid ridge]

IDK man, as such a dominant platform i think more features wont hurt but thats just me

if they have time to add shit nobody asked for like super reactions maybe something someone would use is cool

[gilded quest]

how would they sell my data to advertisers if my chats were E2EE?!

[fluid ridge]

that is true

[stray apex]

they could make it nitro only

[gilded quest]

now that would be interesting

[fluid ridge]

they would look bad if they do that, paywalling privacy isn't the best look

[stray apex]

no, they'd be stupid if they didn't paywall it

[fluid ridge]

i dunno if the people would be happy though

the backlash was insane when discord removed the "We won't record your voice calls" clause so much so that they updated their blog to clarify at the top of the page that they wouldn't

[fluid ridge]

also signal isn't the greatest because it requires a phone number as it started out as a SMS messaging service rather than the encryption model they are now

and phone numbers are probably not the most secure thing to be using as an authentication vector

[gilded quest]

i don't even use signal

or telegram
my only E2EE is android messages with my family since google finally turned on E2EE for all RCS chats

[fluid ridge]

i took matrix (element) out for a spin a few times but there's just not enough people aware/using it for me to switch over

[ocean stone]

Yeah same thing went for Guilded

It was far more feature complete compared to discord but it was either too complex to switch to from discord or there just wasn’t anyone interested in it

And a lot of their advertising budget went into sponsoring just twitch streamers, rather than diverse people groups such as students

[fluid ridge]

oof

[ocean stone]

They had threads and forum channels before discord, and they even have calendar channels and a bunch of cool concepts, but the marketing that went into it was just so poorly thought out and hyper focused on one group of people that it just didn’t make sense to use it other than to support the streamer that influenced you into using it

Server subscriptions was another feature that was there before discord had it too

are there usb ports on the back of the icue 4000x or is it only on the top

99% of cases only have front panel (top/front) USB ports...

noooooD:

[gilded quest]

Your motherboard provides the rear USB ports

[meager hamlet]

yea thats what i meant

[gilded quest]

dingus

Accusing someone for something they didn’t do is also against the rules

Calling you dumb for not understanding how ai is smarter than us is not against the rules, grow up

Gosh, did you not read them properly @hearty steppe ??

DRINK IRON BRU NOW

But yes, I was surprised myself

Gonna do more screenshots at some point, but not now

I'll drink some water instead but enjoy your bru.

I have to eat like 3400 callories a day to maintain weight because I have very high metabolism

They sell both the meatballs and gravy by the entrance/exit.
Meatballs come frozen, and the gravy's a powder you can make at home.

I could never get into body building because I'd have to consume like 4500 callories to gain weight

Man I'm hungry for kubbah hammuth right about now (it's kind of like meatballs but not exactly)

[molten drift]

I want the frozen boxed gooey cake I just don't know if I can get it that late to close tonight. Cause I get out when they have a hour to closing then arrive at like 830 and I usually can get to check out for 8:45

[full fossil]

Some people call that a blessing but I consider it a curse because I actually hate eating now

But I have too

I just gotta finalize my measurements on my lunch break but I'm pretty sure I found out how to lower my PC case perfectly so I can get my tv/monitor moved over more.

British food is shit on more shit plus even more shit

My kitchen is small so I always have to do it at like 3am when everyone is sleeping

this is the most bri*ish thing i've ever read perhaps

no, british would be a boiled cabbage stew or something

carrots have too much flavor

[spiral kraken]

what the hell is a boiled cabbage stew, it sounds revolting

[full fossil]

I usually use bbc foods because the ingredients are actually reasonable and not like 22 spices plus caviar

[shut violet]

So you’re using recipes popular in British culture then

[gilded quest]

"boiled rocks and tree bark"

by entertainment what do you mean

literally anything

[dusty rune]

do you mean watching netflix?

do you need to have a wifi module on your motherboard or do you have ethernet

[full fossil]

The motherboard won't include WiFi unless it explicitly says so

[meager hamlet]

def aint gonna have ethernet

[full fossil]

Then you'll need a motherboard with wifi

[meager hamlet]

ik

thought they meant that as in router and modem in my house

Technically discord has a search on Google function now so

[hearty spear]

you have ebay, craigslist, fb marketplace, and who knows what else near you.
You can do your own legwork.

Sorry I was using, like, performance gap comparison

ou shit nvm

Its like a 300 price diff im good ill keep the 6700

[full fossil]

[dusty rune]

yea but u were wrong

[full fossil]

Smh my h

[dusty rune]

6800xt is like a 3080ti and the 6700 is a 3060ti

[hearty spear]

the 6700 is a very good card still. I wouldn't upgrade from it without a really good reason

[white hearth]

im upgrading to a 6700 from a 580

why would u not care

[hearty spear]

i really dislike the 6500 xt, but it's not the worst?

[dusty rune]

the performance would be pretty terrible since its pcie 3.0

[gilded quest]

i guess the 5600G should have encoders which will offset the 6500XT lack of encoders

[gilded quest]

ugh why would asus pair those together

[dusty rune]

to scam single moms

[peak dew]

Should I order parts on newegg or amazon

sticking to the pricetag, I'd get this:

takes an extra week on newegg but it is $50 more expensive on amazon and I have to sign for shit

5600g also only has pcie3 so

I’d like to stick to Lenovo & AMD.

which 3060 is that

[gilded quest]

why the fuck

[polar fern]

I think the SKU that I found is not the right one it had a slightly different config

The processor was a 5700

why would u lock yourself into proprietary bullshit

shooting yourself in the foot with this

[dusty rune]

i meant model cause it looks sick in the pictures

[polar fern]

How

[stray apex]

the entire reason you're stuck buying a new PC is because of proprietary OEM bullshit

[dusty rune]

i just mentioned how, in 2 ways

[hearty spear]

lol, no idea

[fossil frost]

dont waste your breath, they are known for making up their mind, then trying to force other people to come round to their way, and have no ability to see things the way others see it, only the way they see things themselves

[hearty spear]

lenovo and hp and other OEMs lock shit up, so you can't fix most of the tower issues if anything comes up.
I won't buy them

which is what the guy was after... somebody to pay for his mistake

[fossil frost]

awesome.. i wanted to start getting those, but there are too many to start going back through to collect them as a set, so i go for 1 offs

[hearty spear]

I'm defo curious what would cause a CPU to do that, because... that's not how CPUs work.

[molten drift]

Theirs not many, only bonsai, orchid, birds of paradise 2 vase ones, succulents and dried flowers.

[gilded quest]

Dropping it in the socket and bending pins could be what happened

[dusty rune]

the pins seemed fine tho

maybe the mobo malfunctioned and sent too much voltage?

[fossil frost]

even still, warping like that is the result of fibreglass getting wet, and then drying quickly...

[polar fern]

Hmm

[dusty rune]

oh? thats def interesting

maybe he dropped water on it

that would explain how it got wet and dried quickly

[fossil frost]

hes fucked it, tried to explain it as "i dont know what happened.. it just went like this" hoping it would reach somebody who could tell him what to say on an RMA, or someone like GN or LTT would step in

[polar fern]

No, the real issue with my current desktop PC is that it is a Zen+ system and I didn’t realise at the time that it would not be able to use newer processors as I haven’t specd out a PC for use in many years. I also didn’t think the prices and availability of things or the pandemic lasting forever would be an issue.

[dusty rune]

well it didnt last forever

[polar fern]

It’s basically like I’m starting from scratch, except for I have most of the rest of the stuff that I need.

if I get most of these computers and stuff that people are suggesting I will not have an optical drive and I will not have a memory card reader, and I actually do need both of those things for my setup to make sense for what I plan to use it for.

[hearty spear]

Most Zen+ boards can be bios updated to support ryzen 5000 chips

[dusty rune]

5800x3d mmm ahh

[polar fern]

How do I do that without bricking it?

[fossil frost]

depends if you wanna go ryzen 5000, or 7000... if you go 5000, its cheaper but is a dead platform right now, but, the 5800x3d will be top dog for quite some time yet, and if you do go 5000, your existing ram will work fine

[shut violet]

I actually have recently bought and installed an optical drive in my office pc

[dusty rune]

by updating the bios?

[fossil frost]

what motherboard do you have?

[stray apex]

Well yeah
That's why you should build your own pc

[dusty rune]

the pop air has an optical drive i think

[stray apex]

Basically nobody puts optical drives in PCs anymore

[hearty steppe]

I have school mf

[hearty spear]

two

[polar fern]

most of the computers that I’m seeing just don’t have the features that I really need

[stray apex]

You'd have to go for some pretty specific oem models for a prebuilt with a 5.25 bay

[hearty spear]

then pay more attention to school and not starting pointless shit on discord.

[polar fern]

I don’t just want a box with a graphics card in it.

[stray apex]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wNrG3C/cooler-master-case-nse400kkn2

[hearty spear]

What specific features are you after?
Optical Drive, Card Readers, and??

[stray apex]

Two front 5.25", one front 3.5"

[fossil frost]

you are not going to get a prebuilt with an optical drive now, nobody builds them anymore... you will have to self build... and, if you can tell us what motherboard you have right now... we may be able to show you where to get your bios update from to support 3000 or 5000 series cpus

[shut violet]

I love my optical drive

Ripping uhd blurays is cool

[stray apex]

They have a Lenovo prebuilt

[polar fern]

Optical drive (dvd—ram/rw) cardreader and front mounted audio and USB ports so I don’t have to keep going around the back or have 500 hubs

[fossil frost]

i have an external blu-ray optical drive that plugs in via usb3.0, for... emergencies...

[hearty spear]

(And very few PCs come with DVD drives anymore, there's very little reason for most people to have one. Just get a USB DVD or Blu-Ray drive.)

[polar fern]

It’s not to watch movies on its for archiving and transferring data between locations

[shut violet]

Ripping media is what mine is used for

[hearty spear]

So, get a USB DVDRW Drive. They're cheap.

[shut violet]

Or burning cds for the retro systems

[fossil frost]

external usb3.0 optical drives are just as good/reliable as internal ones, and have the bonus that you can put them away in a draw when you dont need them

[stray apex]

Where on earth are you going to get a prebuilt with a memory card reader

[hearty spear]

most HP/Dell/Lenovos have one slot at least

the lenovo on my desk at work has a SD slot on the front

[polar fern]

Nevermind. I give up. Clearly this is too specific of a use case and I am just wasting my time. All of the suggestions and ideas that people have been presenting are much appreciated, but I really need to move on and realise that it’s going to be extremely expensive to replace the current pc desktop that I use with one that works for me.

[dull granite]

wharshappening

[dusty rune]

not really expensive tbh

[hearty spear]

Not really. You could build a PC to do exactly what you want easily.

[fossil frost]

transit came in like an attention seeking missile, and ignored all valid suggestions as wrong

[zenith remnant]

Optical drives are less than $100, get out of here with your negativity, people are honestly trying to help you

[dusty rune]

just buy a pop air and external sd card reader

[polar fern]

maybe, but then I don’t have a warranty and I’m not okay with that because I don’t have any money to just replace shit at random & have unknown amount of downtime.

[dusty rune]

and an optical drive if you cant use ur current one

[hearty spear]

any PC part you buy has a 3-10 year warranty out of the box

[fossil frost]

they dont want help, they want attention

[dusty rune]

why would you still use an optical drive

[polar fern]

this isn’t some side hobby. This computer will be used for serious video editing and I honestly need to just let that idea go. I guess because the hardware thats in the current system is really aging rapidly and starting to struggle with basic things even webpages so again, I just need to drop the idea for now and move on and I can just use my Mac for most of the stuff for the foreseeable future.

[zenith remnant]

They work with data transfers so they need multiple media support

[fossil frost]

so continue to struggle and ignore our suggestions, and stop attention seeking

[polar fern]

I’m not being stubborn, I have specific needs that I’m not willing to change on because the way I’m going to be recording video & images requires these things

[dusty rune]

oooh

if i pay $100 to pay off my phone it comes to 25cents per month for the pro max

[stray apex]

is this with a contract or something?

[dusty rune]

which pro max tho? 14?

[ionic abyss]

yes att

[polar fern]

👁️👁️‼️https://a.co/d/7GXvAM7

[ionic abyss]

yes 14 pro max

[stray apex]

I mean, I doubt you'll actually notice much of a difference, but it's also not that much money

[ionic abyss]

i was just going to do the s23

[dusty rune]

eh, an iphone is good if youre a social media addict

[ionic abyss]

but they shrank the phone

[stray apex]

they're not really that different these days

[dusty rune]

i cant get my instagram to go to messenger chat instead of direct

[gray whale]

S23 phone?

[ionic abyss]

yes the 23 is smaller than my 21

[gray whale]

I kinda regret getting it. It is kinda too small

[dusty rune]

its usually better supported in apps like instagram or tiktok

[turbid falcon]

as long as the case has 1x 5.25 external bay, you can easily combine a card reader and optical drive into it using this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0756MZTPG/

[gray whale]

Should have bought the ultra

[stray apex]

sure, but it's not like snapchat not using the camera at all

[dusty rune]

true

[gray whale]

I would get atleast s23+

6.1 is kinda too small.

[ionic abyss]

i have been a android user since the dream came out

[gray whale]

Once you tied 6.8 phone it is hard to go back to smaller size phones

The screen is hard to read etc

[ionic abyss]

android has come a long way since the htc dream i started with came out

[dusty rune]

i dont get how people use the iphone mini

[turbid falcon]

front audio is available to pretty much all cases

[ionic abyss]

isnt the mini a modern iphone 4/5

[stray apex]

Why?
Unless you're old and need big font or game a lot, a small phone is fine

[dusty rune]

its just so small to type on

[ionic abyss]

how can i get a 14 pro max for 25cents per month but if i want the 14 plus it costs $8 per month

[stray apex]

Because the plus is for old people

[ionic abyss]

im 50

lol close but not senior

[hearty steppe]

Hey my mic isn’t working please come help me in tech support

[gray whale]

yeah right?

[ionic abyss]

is it plugged in

[gray whale]

the 13 mini is so small and the battery sucks

[ionic abyss]

is the mic switch in the on postion

[gray whale]

their watch is probably bigger than the 13 mini

[stray apex]

Yeah, small phones are nice for one handed use

The battery is an issue though

[gray whale]

I like how easy it fits in my pockets

i used to have s20+ and the pocket is really tight after i put the phone in it

s23's battery isn't really that good.

everyone said the battery is good but i found it mediocre at best

[molten drift]

I really can't wait to be done with my work week in 2 and a half hours then I can make a mad dash to Ikea before they close an hour from when I get out of work.

[molten drift]

Theirs gaming batteries now... What in the marketing is this

[vapid smelt]

We have gamings ups

[wind pulsar]

RGB batteries

[gray whale]

yeah like hours of playing genshi

[latent cove]

[molten drift]

That's even more upsetting

[gray whale]

gaming glasses... and gaming jacket....

[polar fern]

@molten drift hay! How are ya?

[wind pulsar]

No, luckily not

[cerulean saffron]

That's why I ended up recommending Pixel 4a / Pixel 5a to anyone who asked for a small phone

[molten drift]

Enduring torture. All systems are still down at work but they are still having us sit here.

[wind pulsar]

Uhuh

[polar fern]

🤦‍♂️

[full fossil]

the 13 mini lasts days for me
The battery life does not suck

[cerulean saffron]

"wait till IT team fixes it" situation?

[polar fern]

That succ

[gray whale]

to all the tech ppl out there. do you fear the new chatgpt thingy?

[molten drift]

Only 144 mins to go

[gray whale]

that one day, it will replace ya all?

[full fossil]

Fear? No
Respect

[vapid smelt]

The 5a is small?!

[wind pulsar]

No, I'm dead by the time it takes over anyway

[alpine gale]

something something if you advertise it, people will buy it? 😄 Makes claiming certain things as work expenses difficult though. I had to fight to claim my Logitech G610 MX Brown keyboard as "for work use" because it had "GAMING" in the product title. 😒 Insurance people, do you brain? Please use brain.

[molten drift]

Yes and the issue was a ransomware attack on Monday that was discovered. And still is not resolved.

[turbid falcon]

did you see what i linked?

[polar fern]

Mhm

[dusty rune]

nah cause bing contradicts itself if you ask how many more pixels 8k has over 4k

[echo canopy]

Usage patterns greatly effect it

[turbid falcon]

so you've finally unblocked me huh?

[echo canopy]

It has a relatively poor battery life

[molten drift]

I would love to use a k63 for work but yeah I don't wanna deal with it lol.

[gray whale]

for now, but it will get better and smarter

[polar fern]

It’s a huge waste of compute wattage.

[molten drift]

I just wanna get my kallax to redo my setup. A quick in and out of Ikea trip.

[turbid falcon]

and still, that would give you all that you wanted for the front of a pc, and what i'll be doing to my pc in a few days time, that way i can remove the larger optical drive i have in it currently

[dusty rune]

you upgrading your case connections?

[molten drift]

Hmm. Bk or McDonald's on the way home from Ikea tonight I'm not sure which to do.

[cerulean saffron]

No lol absolutely not. Yesterday I spent 6 hours loading GPT-J-6b model and it's responses were super strange...
I was actually hoping I could teach a model how to talk like me and develop different styles with different people/groups/etc

But after hours of prompt testing, I realized how lifeless and meaningless it actually is... The algorithm basically making guesses, blurting out text that gives the least error or loss value. I wanted to find something more... but at the end, these are just algorithms. I'd say it felt strangely empty.

When put together by experts and people who know what they're doing, yup it's an extremely powerful tool and it can somewhat imitate a person but it'll never be close to any real person.

[vapid smelt]

My cars ac blower motor is dead and to replace it I have to move my engine with the power of ratchet straps

[cerulean saffron]

oof... Can you find out if it spread around using SMB? im curious

[molten drift]

What's smb

[turbid falcon]

more like reducing the size of a couple components and combining them as 1, which the icydock adapter will let me do to my current system

[cerulean saffron]

4a only* not 5a

[molten drift]

Ratchet straps are magic

[dusty rune]

doing that before a cpu/gpu upgrade.. man the priorities...

[cerulean saffron]

Windows default file sharing protocol aka Samba (SMB)

[molten drift]

I dunno I'm not an it person

[turbid falcon]

also means i could fit in a 360mm aio/rad on the top instead again if i wanted

[molten drift]

I'm a customer service rep. Not an it person.

[dusty rune]

i take it back, great idea

wooo yeah 360mm aios

dude actually i have another idea

hard tube it so it gets to 30KG of weight

[polar fern]

Mhm

[cerulean saffron]

oh ok... well good luck w the situation, hope it ends soon
And if a ransomware spread through, even if they're restoring from backups, I'd assume it'll take 4-6 hours atleast

[turbid falcon]

and i can trim down the adapter to make it fit closer into the current 5.25" cage

[dusty rune]

the ultimate workout

[molten drift]

It's day 5.

[dusty rune]

if 5nail painted his nic just cause it looked ugly you can for sure do that

tbf green pcb was really ruining it

[turbid falcon]

pc is on a shelf i could put 50-60kg of weight on tbh, and ofcourse i can trim it, i got a dremel after all

[cerulean saffron]

yikes... that sucks... and 5 days, how big was this attack 😮

[molten drift]

I don't know again .. I'm not IT . But I'm going crazy they are just having us sit waiting for our shifts.

Been watching a bunch of YouTube lol

[polar fern]

Mhm https://a.co/d/dix4I4q

[dusty rune]

we already said this one 10 times

[turbid falcon]

the bigger question is "who im management opened up a personal email at work?"

[cerulean saffron]

and I finished my task at work 2 weeks early so im doing the same 😂

[polar fern]

Wasn’t me

[dusty rune]

that shelf can hold me almost

[vapid smelt]

Very good case

[turbid falcon]

higher up on my wall there's a shelf made from mahogany, looking at it being able to hold 100kg easily

[dusty rune]

on the 1st of next month im gonna hit the gym tho

[molten drift]

I'm one of the only people without a photo at work for this exact protecting reason lol

[cerulean saffron]

Ah people can make mistakes, happens. The level of absolution I follow regarding cybersec is what my friends have started calling "paranoid" 😂
I never ever open email attachments even if they're legit... I forward them to an alt email that's logged into an ubuntu VM, scan it in virustotal from there, then open it

[turbid falcon]

this is called being smart

[cerulean saffron]

on a personal level yup easy but trying to teach this to every single employee who might open an email - it can't be done...

[molten drift]

I just want to get out of here and get dinner and get stuff done from ikea. Thankfully it should be a sub 25 min Ikea trip once I get there.

[dusty rune]

that type of wood is very nice in terraria

[turbid falcon]

isn't that why there's usually a rule at work about never opening personal emails there?

[full fossil]

That and it’s far more likely you’ll have malicious spam

[turbid falcon]

it's a very nice wood for boats, cabinet making, and furniture

[turbid falcon]

and 9/10 it's management that abuses said rule

[dusty rune]

id image its pretty pricy as well

[cerulean saffron]

Ah 90% of the time people just don't care... even if they're told so. Companies like banks and companies that want to protect their IP at all costs are who invest the time, effort and energy into setting up a laptop that you can't actually get into even if you open malicious email (unless there's an unknown escalation exploit that hasn't been patched yet)

[full fossil]

Oh yeah our IT dude is always on fucking youtube and we can’t even get emails working

[polar fern]

What the … 👀 https://a.co/d/4oXNLfO

[full fossil]

The captain fucking lost it at him

[dusty rune]

no airflow

wait actually

[polar fern]

It has an external cooling loop connector thingy on the back of the case 😲

[molten drift]

I would just show how I'm sitting watching lgr while working but .. no embed perms lol

[turbid falcon]

it can be in large quantities, in small amounts it can be cheaper than cherrywood

[cerulean saffron]

drop it in #tech-chat-1 ig

[polar fern]

@molten drift have you seen the wood grain video yet?

[molten drift]

No need it has nothing to do with that channel detcord and yes transit I've subbed for years.

[dusty rune]

nvm it might have airflow

[polar fern]

Oh

[dusty rune]

you are naming type of woods i have never heard of in my life

[turbid falcon]

mesh front, almost exactly the same mesh front my panzer has

[dusty rune]

it looks pretty nice

[dusty rune]

panzer like that one sabaton song

[molten drift]

I mean sugar maple, selepe, wenge, korina, tiger maple, claro walnut. Just to make some more

[vapid smelt]

Panzer like the German WW2 tank

[molten drift]

Which... Sabaton bases their songs off war....

[dusty rune]

did germany copy the songs name

[molten drift]

I severely hope your joking

[dusty rune]

yeah dw

[fossil frost]

all of which suck in comparison to Oak 😄

[vapid smelt]

Speaking of sabaton

[cerulean saffron]

ahhh reminds me of Stratum 128x texture pack on Minecraft and when I went crazy trying to decide which wood to use for a build, Oak / Dark Oak / Birch 😂

[turbid falcon]

when waxed/oiled

[dusty rune]

spruce is the way

[molten drift]

Wenge wood would like a word.

[turbid falcon]

depends on which oak you're referring to

[dusty rune]

if you dont use spruce youre trolling

[molten drift]

Rauko wenge always wenge. Amazing grain ... And ash.

[vapid smelt]

In school we used alder wood

[cerulean saffron]

I went with dark oak planks + spruce logs and built a whole mansion... this was 3 years ago

[dusty rune]

thats good

[polar fern]

Woah!!! https://a.co/d/e9WJ0c1

[molten drift]

Basswood is nice but I prefer ash, wenge, and korina and spaulted maple

[dusty rune]

my bases r usually in caves/mountains

[turbid falcon]

ash is always nice, though birch and beech are just as nice tbh

[dusty rune]

i usually quit playing because i can never find diamonds

[fossil frost]

red oak (which is technically from the americas, but is now considered to just be "oak" in the uk now)

[polar fern]

Ash going extinct

[dusty rune]

might use xray just this once

[turbid falcon]

good old english oak from the uk is better tbh

[dusty rune]

hm. im curious what my desk is made off

[molten drift]

Well in that case transit... Get me some korina and a respirator

[fossil frost]

sessile oak, which is what my kitchen table and chairs are made from 😄

[molten drift]

Korina is toxic. If inhaled.

[polar fern]

Our forests are being wiped out by a storm of invasive species, climate change, and neglect.

[molten drift]

But so beautiful.

[turbid falcon]

probably chipboard with a melamine coatine

[polar fern]

Sigh

[ocean thistle]

Anyone else having wifi problems?

[turbid falcon]

i'd love to get a small section of japanese greenwood tbh

and some iroko

[molten drift]

Such beautiful cuts of wood. https://www.crimsonguitars.com/pages/master-build-gallery

[molten drift]

No I don't really use wifi.

[fossil frost]

tbh, a close second to proper british oak, is wallnut... i do like me some wallnut

[fossil frost]

yes, it isnt as good as people claim it is

[molten drift]

And rauko that link I posted is a British guitar company.

[turbid falcon]

iroko btw

[vapid smelt]

Sexy

[dusty rune]

mmaybe

[turbid falcon]

i saw, ty

[pure merlin]

Hey, can anyone help me in tech support?

[molten drift]

The black gold and resin one was made of 10,000 year old bog oak.

And theirs videos of most the guitars they make being made by hand on their YouTube channel.

[turbid falcon]

sweet

[turbid falcon]

south african wood dude, teak is similar in grain but not in colour

[dusty rune]

poor tree

[molten drift]

Currently on my "break" and watching Randy Santel and it's making me hungry

[vapid smelt]

I've been working for an hour and done nothing

[dusty rune]

i havent been working for the past 15 years and im tired

[molten drift]

Coppa I'm at 36 hours of nothing this week.

[dusty rune]

why did i have to be born at the end of summer..

[turbid falcon]

though the japanese greenwood is fun to get hold of, well known for blunting chissels and saws alike

[molten drift]

Cause your parents conceived you 9 months earlier

[turbid falcon]

i sometimes say this about being born at the begining of spring

[molten drift]

Which means you were likely a Christmas or new years baby

[turbid falcon]

some teak for you

[cerulean saffron]

what's with all the wood today 😂

[molten drift]

Wood is great.

[dusty rune]

mornings man..

[molten drift]

I went to trade school for carpentry who ever is reacting...
