hello

When you sell something (example: an xbox) is it dangerous to give the warranty and receipt to the buyer?

But its safe for me right?

He cant do "wrong things" with it?

[quaint relic]

Unless they've printed your personal info on it, then no

[wary summit]

anyone see the new chinese gpu?

[full fossil]

hm its only the location and phone number but he already knows it since he comes to pick it up from my house

And he can use it to repair it ?

In case he needs

[quaint relic]

Then no, he cant do anything bad with it. If he can use it for warranty claims is dependant on the store

[full fossil]

Wait dont you use warranty to repair it? (If its broken but not by you)

Ok thanks, all i wanted is to make sure im safe giving him the receipt and warranty paper

[quaint relic]

Some stores will insist that the warranty is only valid for the original buyer, but again, they cant really provet that it isnt him unless they have a name on there

So it should be fine 🙂

[full fossil]

I like how steam deck handles warranty

Per serial number of the device

[quaint relic]

I always leave the reciept when I sell stuff, its just good etiquette

I always keep mine in the box the thing came in 🙂

[full fossil]

Tbf i dont know how other countries are but in mine they always try to find an excuse saying its your fault

Like apple and "holding it wrong"

I think he only wants it in case i sell him a defective product and scam him

[quaint relic]

They might try that, but only thing crappy stores will insist on it..

mhm

[dawn gazelle]

wsg

[full fossil]

Well to be fair, im letting him test it before buying

Well not really pointless

Seeing the store and date it was purchased

Yes

Thanks

Tbf, its 2 months old

Actually 1 month old, its a nintendo switch

And now im just selling it for half the price after 1 month because i realised i dont like it

God im so wasteful of my money

[marble fulcrum]

hi

[ancient harbor]

Soon doing the transition from a desk PC setup, to a laptop setup.
Any great advice out here?
What I will have is, keyboard, mouse and two monitors.
I also have a PS4 connected to the main monitor.

[tropic yarrow]

Anythings free if you put the words “free” “pirated” “torrent” next to it

[fallen cedar]

uhm sorry can you please not talk about illegally obtained software, that might risk the server

[dreamy rose]

GOG is the only platform other than steam to by ur games

[ancient harbor]

I will have a laptop AND a ps4

Not limited to only ps4 games

[dreamy rose]

not worth being the product

its epic games, they make anti consumer tactics super popular. which it works because people THINK they want it and they buy out studios to ruin their games.

they destroyed Rocket League, they destroyed Fall guys, they damaged GTA Online. worst of all Coffee stain sucked up to them and put Goat Simulator 3 on EGS as an exclusive.

[rugged rapids]

AMONG US? Its free rn???

Also isn’t procedural generation coming built in with UE 5.2?

😳

[dreamy rose]

UE is a good project. but literally anyone else could be doing it anyway. Epic has no real staying power anyway. apart from Fortnite and the lure of Free games.

[rugged rapids]

Bet? Do it.

You need to have the balls to make a game engine, it’s not so easy as it sounds

[dreamy rose]

Anyone can make an Engine. they didnt have to make it

[rugged rapids]

Man why u got such a cynical world view

U only see the bad in things

[dreamy rose]

they are all struggling to fit necessary textures into 8GB of VRAM. that's what they are struggling with the most. its to the point they don't give a shit about 8GB cards anymore. UE5 aint helping that either. man only if Nvidia put an extra 30-40 dollars into their cards they wouldn't suck for gaming.

it is. 8GB is Entry level. RX 6400 ah hardware, anything 10-12 is low end and mid range is 16. anything above be High end. the problem is that Nvidia is cutting corners where it matters. weh, its nothing they care about anyway. as far as they are concerned slapping DLSS on it fixes everything.

nevermind the fact a game will Skip rendering things or default to ass textures. Upscale it! it'll look nicer

[fallen cedar]

thing is

dlss does kinda fix everything

especially with nvidia reflex

[dreamy rose]

it doesnt fix whats not there.

[fallen cedar]

sure, but your brain is easily fooled

most of your eye doesnt see colour but you fill it in regardless, might not be there but you can still enjoy it

[dreamy rose]

you can see when it outright doesnt render something dude.

[fallen cedar]

I mean obviously there is a sweet spot

[lucid snow]

Anyone in uk who just got the alert too lol? (Ik its a test but it freaked me out i wasnt expecting it)

[dreamy rose]

or if a texture looks like ass, you can easily tell. i mean Mario Kart Wii doesn't look amazing. those textures are ass. no upscaling can change that, although through Emulation, Texture packs exist.

[dreamy rose]

the test is on is it? bruh. imagine asking why you need it. like dude its a fricking EMERGENCY ALARM for a frigging WW3 or impending natural disaster. i think that much would be obvious no?

you're asking someone with a GT 540M if they've ever used RT.

i'd probably be in hospital if i tried.

still. nothing can be done about a game outright not rendering something. this is why RDNA2 Sells like hotcakes. cheap with more VRAM.

i'm expecting to see a climb in steam users using Radeon. however small or large it is its a step in the right direction.

[rugged rapids]

Can’t seem to find this infinite generation plugin whats it called

[full fossil]

What is this title 💀

[dreamy rose]

is floatplane just more Spicy or smth?

nah its there on youtube.

[full fossil]

No that's youtube floatplane is more informative

[rugged rapids]

@sonic barn tell meeee

It's literally vanced without the Google account

[rugged rapids]

Got it

[full fossil]

Basically degoogled youtube

[agile hearth]

i need help

[dreamy rose]

only if i had a Phone i'd be using Ad free youtube

[dreamy rose]

Dont ask for help. just state your problem.

[fallen cedar]

substance abuse

[agile hearth]

i connected my ps4 controller to my pc to play some games but when i tried to connect it back to my ps4 it didnt work

[dreamy rose]

i've had that problem. couldn't be assed to figure out why that was.

[agile hearth]

i did, now i cant go into the settings of my ps4 cuz all of them are bugged

yess

[dreamy rose]

now i just have a PS4 Controller that wont charge cause its not been used for a long time and its useless for gaming

[agile hearth]

i did everything

ok

[dreamy rose]

and tbh nobody should be. if you're outside of steam you're basically forced into a Driver and sometimes it dont work so.

if you are getting a controller make it a Switch/Wii U pro or Xbox One S/X or Series controller. those are plug and play.

[lucid snow]

idk britain preparing from some ass shit against russia or smth i dont see much point in it

[dreamy rose]

tensions seem high around now. lots of shit going on.

[lucid snow]

yh

[dreamy rose]

thats inspiring.

[dreamy rose]

i'm actually curious about this. how would the system reach someone without a TV or a Phone? like for instance if one went off rn i would only have a PC. how am i to know. or did they think of that?

[frigid chasm]

it wouldnt

i imagine they still broadcast these signals over radio though

[dreamy rose]

Radio. TV. Cellular. same tech.

[frigid chasm]

uh

[dreamy rose]

they do it through landline in Australia.

[manic torrent]

also float plane doesn't have to drive clicks with the title

[low rain]

I js got called immature for not wanting to vape like wtf

[full fossil]

Guys how reliable are Integral USB drives

[dreamy rose]

dont talk to TikTok users

[tardy terrace]

Don't vape if you're a kid.

Seriously, nicotine addiction isn't a thing to fuck around with

[low rain]

It was by a fucking 13 yr old 😭

[dreamy rose]

[full fossil]

[low rain]

Idk why people like vaping, I tried it and that js was ew.

[full fossil]

Bro probably looks like a chimney when he smoking that flat vape

[dreamy rose]

well done you huffed Burnt CPU Smell

[full fossil]

God no don't try vaping

[low rain]

Bro I never did that again but that was so bad, I coughed so much idk why people actually use vapes daily

I could never spend my money on one

[tardy terrace]

Nicotine addictions is not something to take lightly

[full fossil]

That shit is expensive

Like 8-10€ a vape is mad expensive

[tardy terrace]

w/ a mod I pay about $50/mo for replacement pods & juice, and the mod itself was $45

[full fossil]

Holy shit

[tardy terrace]

Like I said, don't fuck with nicotine.

[low rain]

Rookie numbers, the stuff that goes around my school is like $30-50 💀

[full fossil]

Imma stay with my coke and ice

[low rain]

Dr Pepper>sprite>Fanta>coke>Pepsi

[full fossil]

I drink knock off coke

[tired glade]

Homemade or bought?

[dreamy rose]

i'd rather my teeth not feel like rubber after one sip.

[full fossil]

Ngl vapes are shit all around

[low rain]

Wtf is knockoff coke?

[dreamy rose]

Cok

[full fossil]

Coke cola is the original and expensive

I just drink the cheaper variant

[low rain]

Oh

[tardy terrace]

protip- also don't drink soda

[full fossil]

Same deal but cheaper

[low rain]

Kirkland is the best water though

[dreamy rose]

no

[full fossil]

Tap water also good

[low rain]

Not to me

I only drink Kirkland or fiji

[full fossil]

My tap water tastes fresh and cold

[tardy terrace]

tap water depends on the area

[tired glade]

Oh, someone buys water in bottles after all

[low rain]

Bottled water is goated

[tired glade]

Or get a filter for your tap water

[full fossil]

Ye

[tired glade]

Or heavy metal populated area?

[tardy terrace]

no, well, technically yes

[low rain]

If I don’t have any bottled water I js get sum filtered water from my fridge but I don’t like drinking tap

[tardy terrace]

oregon tap water is pretty nice

[tired glade]

Bottle water is filtered reused water

[full fossil]

[low rain]

I’m from Washington and I think it’s decent

[tardy terrace]

all water has been reused.

[tired glade]

Technically

[low rain]

But Kirkland is js the best 💪

[tired glade]

How much per litre?

[low rain]

Idek

I js pick it up whenever I go to the store

[tired glade]

What's js?

[low rain]

Just

[tired glade]

I have 3€ filter even those, I don't even need it

[low rain]

Hear me out

People try to hard to get TikTok followers

[tired glade]

You like 5 years late with that news

[low rain]

Ik someone who posts like dance vids and lip syncs like every fucking hour and they only get like 400 views average 😭

I just shitpost and get wayyy more than that

[tired glade]

Trends and such

[dreamy rose]

TikTok dancing is cringe

sometimes theres talent. but many times its just moving around.

[tardy terrace]

some of the memes are funny but most of the time you're wading through sub-par trash.

[dreamy rose]

true. i only watch the comps on yt to filter out the shit

[low rain]

My phone battery went from 3% to 4% but it’s not in the charger

[tired glade]

Saving algorithms in work

[dreamy rose]

sounds like it needs calibration

[long briar]

Transients in a nutshell

batteries are monitored by voltage, when you're drawing higher current your voltage sometimes drops which in this case was enough to register as "less capacity"

[tardy terrace]

when you put a load on a power source, voltage droops as amperage increases. So the battery controller probably just averaged out

[low rain]

Oh

[frigid chasm]

very

[sullen lodge]

all i’m hearing on youtube now is airpods with a screen on it

[brazen dust]

Whats the best value nvidia card atm?

[sullen lodge]

wdym

like good graphics card for not a lot of money?

[full fossil]

Hm

[brazen dust]

Best performance per dollar

Will be using this for gaming but primarily for 3D rendering is when ill make heavy use of the GPU

[dusty iris]

What would happen if suddenly I lose the power while updating the bios?

[sullen lodge]

it would screw it up

[chrome grail]

There's a possibility of bricking your motherboard

[sullen lodge]

i would only update it if you’re having issues

[tardy terrace]

^

or for cpu compatibility/zero-days

[sullen lodge]

^

[chrome grail]

But updating the bios can increase performance, right?

[sullen lodge]

yeah

well probably not hugely but

[tardy terrace]

It depends, and probably no

[crystal flare]

Anyone seen "power on: the story of xbox"?

[brazen dust]

Yeah but its not ultra stable to do regularly plus it isnt always a big performance change

[full fossil]

i habe 40 euros and im looking for a single player game any suggestions?

[tardy terrace]

save your $40 and wait for the summer sale

[full fossil]

good idea

[rugged rapids]

Fr

[crystal flare]

It's an interesting documentary series.

[rugged rapids]

Whens that again?

[tardy terrace]

probably the start of summer

[sullen lodge]

i bricked my intel h61 motherboard by trying to change the boot logo and i changed the boot mode to legacy and it just stopped posting

so now i have a dual bios motherboard

[chrome grail]

ah, yes

[tardy terrace]

i loved that about my asrock extreme6

[sullen lodge]

well hey now i learned not to do that

[tardy terrace]

I could accidentally brick a bios after dumb overclocking ventures, swap back to the stock one, and reflash the primary

[crystal flare]

Anyone into competitive speedrunning?

[sullen lodge]

no

also is there a way to know if one bios was bricked?

[tardy terrace]

yeah, it doesn't post

[chrome grail]

I'm so hyped for my PC build that is arriving soon, yet i'm still anxious that something is not working

[sullen lodge]

so like how does that work, as soon as one is bricked it automatically switches?

[tardy terrace]

no, it's usually a manual switch on the board near the 2 chips

[sullen lodge]

i sold an iphone for like 80 dollars and got some of my pc parts used

ah

[full fossil]

80? witch one?

[crystal flare]

I still have no os installed on my pc.

[sullen lodge]

iphone 8

[full fossil]

oh ok

[sullen lodge]

but i got the wrong ram, it was ecc so i had to use 6gb for a little bit

and that’s when i learned ecc and non ecc

[crystal flare]

Do I need an internet connection to install windows 11?

[sullen lodge]

yeah im pretty sure

wait actually no if you’re running it off a usb

[tardy terrace]

actually come to think of it i think bios chips use an SPI interface for literally all communication w/ the system

[chrome grail]

I've looked in the compatibility list for ram of my mobo, it says the ordered ram sticks are going to work, can i trust the list?

[crystal flare]

Oh, really? Well I am booting off of a USB, sooo...

[sullen lodge]

yeah you won’t need internet

[tardy terrace]

yeah you will

win11 requires it, and a microsoft account on install

[sullen lodge]

oh really

[tardy terrace]

source: me installing win11 on vm's

[crystal flare]

I forgot about the whole windows account bs.

[full fossil]

Hey

[full fossil]

Me using windows pe on a CD like a Chad

[sullen lodge]

oh i never heard about the windows account thing

[tardy terrace]

It's a bit handy because I can sync some settings & other bits, plus the activation key to my account, so it's just a login to finish reinstalling

[full fossil]

Ye

[sullen lodge]

i had a windows 7 pro key that worked on win10 but for some reason it won’t let me use it now

[full fossil]

Probably already used idk

[tardy terrace]

if it's an oem key, that's why, also win7 is officially dead af.

[chrome grail]

yea i was just going to ask if i could use a win7 license for win11 😐

[tardy terrace]

you can use as low as win8.1

[full fossil]

You can

[chrome grail]

why tho

[tardy terrace]

ok after googling if you wanna use the win7 key you have to install win10 first, then updoot to win11

[full fossil]

Idk some future proofing

[tardy terrace]

i guess win11's kms cut off older keys

[full fossil]

Idk

[tardy terrace]

What do I do w/ this dinky-ass r9 390 sitting on my shelf

[chrome grail]

crypto minin'

[tardy terrace]

noooooo god that's just another 300w of heat in my room

[chrome grail]

no need for a heater then lol

[tardy terrace]

it's about to be summer

[chrome grail]

in the summer you go outside and enjoy the weather 🙂

[tardy terrace]

I am a hermit

If I had a chance to stay indoors for 90% of my life (which I do), I'm going to take it. I have a hard time trusting literally anyone at face value, let alone cars. Fuck cars.

[chrome grail]

You could try to sell the R9 390

[tardy terrace]

Ech, was the first "high-power" gpu I'd bought with my own money, too much sentimental value

I even got the kraken g12 & strapped my aging corsair h105 to it

[chrome grail]

then put it on display in a self made enclosure

[tardy terrace]

Look at this ol' beauty

My first ever actual hardware mod

[chrome grail]

looks cool actually

And that USB hub

[tardy terrace]

oh my god the hub is so so so good

[chrome grail]

how on earth are you using almost every single port

[tardy terrace]

well let's see-
Joystick, throttle, trackIR, headset, 2 more button boxes, console controller, drawing pad, external hard drive

the 3 at the end are usb micro-b, mini-b, and type c for soft charging/device connection, also a dvd drive & a usb>sata adapter

kb/m are plugged into the pc directly

[chrome grail]

convenient then

yea for extra speed

[tardy terrace]

PLUS w/ the ports having individual switches I can turn off devices that cause conflicts in games

[chrome grail]

that's actually a nice feature indeed

[tardy terrace]

Stormworks likes to throw a shitfit if you have anything but a controller or kb/m plugged in

[chrome grail]

no need to unplug all the cables then

i-tec USB 3.0 Charging Hub 16

[tardy terrace]

best $90 i ever spent for peripherals

[full fossil]

any decent budget speakers you'd recommend?

[tardy terrace]

Like, what level of quality are you going for?

[full fossil]

basic

nothing special

[tardy terrace]

logitech z333's are pretty solid, I had it for a while

[full fossil]

im already satisfied with my speakers but left one is turning on and off

[full fossil]

they kinda big

[tardy terrace]

scroll up a bit and look at the pic I posted of my frankengpu, you can see the satellites sitting on my desk compared to an xbox controller

(also those itty-bitty tweeters aren't actual speakers, just for show)

[full fossil]

how does a scroll wheel

work is it just for turning volume up and down

[tardy terrace]

go up in the conversation history

OH i misread, the dial's for volume, and you can turn the unit on/off, and has a headphone connection

imo it's better than having the controls on a speaker

[full fossil]

yeah much more practical

i had one of these back when i used razer tiamat

any other suggestions @tardy terrace

[tardy terrace]

def can't go wrong with these-

60 bucks for the z333 is it worth it?

[worn carbon]

should I buy a second hard drive to usb adapter with a fan on the bottom and just slot in a 16 tb drive

[tardy terrace]

eh, yeah, I'd say $60 is a good deal

[worn carbon]

almost all of my gamepass games are xbox one

[tardy terrace]

you're better off building a 4-drive nas and raid-5ing it

[full fossil]

there are used ones for like 45

and i can just transfer non played series x-s games

[tardy terrace]

oh for xbox

[worn carbon]

yeah xbox

i got rid of my shadow because of ping issues

[tardy terrace]

No, don't. Those are going to be RMA's from people.

[worn carbon]

i miss my creature comforts of pc, but I would rather have 15 ms input lag that I can control, then 200-600 ms ping spikes from my ISP

i was on shadow

[full fossil]

these are probably going to be an overkill

i just need speakers to be better then my monitor ones lol

[tardy terrace]

i mean, you don't want a subwoofer?

[full fossil]

i never knew what subwoofer does

[tardy terrace]

the rumbly bits of sound

[full fossil]

so imagine not

subwoofer is the thing u put under the desk right

[tardy terrace]

yes

[worn carbon]

makes bass

[full fossil]

can i put it on the desk

[tardy terrace]

it goes wubwub
please don't that's a bit silly

[worn carbon]

desk into vibrator

[tardy terrace]

[worn carbon]

i think depending on the sub

[tired glade]

Ok, people,what sauce to make for steamed veggies and tomato fried chicken?

[tardy terrace]

pesto

[full fossil]

i dont listen to music so subwoofer would serve no purpose

[worn carbon]

uhh butter

uhh big mac sauce

[tardy terrace]

damn that pc in the video is so fucked

[worn carbon]

i think so

[full fossil]

hey guys what web browser you use

[wanton jewel]

chrome

[worn carbon]

Microsoft Edge dev

[tardy terrace]

chrome, I'm too integrated w/ google services

[tired glade]

[worn carbon]

I could use Safari, but I hate safari

[full fossil]

There ain't privacy in it

Nope

[tardy terrace]

your responses indicate you know very little about browsers

[worn carbon]

Only thing that's slow is my internet

[tired glade]

I don't want to make it for 3 hours

[full fossil]

what about g560 ones

[tired glade]

On pc or on phone?

[wanton jewel]

what do you mean by privacy? most browsers track you

[tardy terrace]

you said you didn't want to spend that kind of money. If you're going to spend that much, get the klipsch ones

[full fossil]

It knows what you search everything and it eats your CPU

[worn carbon]

otther then uhh like mullvad browser tor browser or that librefox or hardened firefox

[full fossil]

PC

[tired glade]

I don't like heat spices

[full fossil]

are they in the same range of price with z333?

[worn carbon]

garlic

[tired glade]

Modified Firefox

[tardy terrace]

almost like literally anything you do on the internet.

[tired glade]

Already in veggies

[wanton jewel]

thats called chrome history? edge has that aswell. chrome has sleeping tabs to conserve memory

[full fossil]

I am using Brave right now and it is eating my cpu

[tardy terrace]

The g560's are $175. The klipsch ones are cheaper, and will out-perform w/e logitech has to offer except maybe their 5.1 system

[full fossil]

Ya but it takes 30% ram and 15% CPU

[worn carbon]

then you might like a salsa

not like a spicy one, but like 8 tomatos, and 1 jalapano

that doesent matter lol if your not using more than 1 tab at a time its not going to use a crazy amount of your cpu, unless your playing a game or something on it

[pliant karma]

do you ever close tabs

[wanton jewel]

we need them open for "work"

[wanton jewel]

why not?

[full fossil]

awwwwww

[tardy terrace]

I keep lots of stuff open for quick referencing like WSL guides, SDR/frequency info, common-usage tabs like yt/twitter/emails, fp, common shopping sites I browse, etc

[full fossil]

My parents think computer parts are a waste of money

[wind pulsar]

I have no idea why I wrote 16 even though I clearly knew you had 32

[tardy terrace]

16 of those tabs are for SDR things

[full fossil]

i habe 16 gigs

[ionic abyss]

did shark gaming try to replace that pc?

[full fossil]

habe?

[tardy terrace]

I don't think it came clear through text but i wasn't complaining about the usage on my end

[full fossil]

have*

[ionic abyss]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoGKwig8dwU

that is a warranty replacement for sure

[wanton jewel]

they might have but i think they didnt since i would assume linus bought the pc for content or something like that

[ionic abyss]

as the builder id still offer a replacemtn

replacement*

[full fossil]

also i will tell you something i have taken the risk to buy a laptop from aliexpress

[ionic abyss]

and some one was mad at that box

that is unlikely to be accidental damage

[full fossil]

what the hello happend to this PC????

was this been through worl war 2?

[wind pulsar]

Extreme shipping damage

[full fossil]

i see that but this kind of damage jesus

[tardy terrace]

100% kek'd at the board surviving

rip ssd, they should do a bts teardown & analysis to see what died on it

[ionic abyss]

i am cringing as i watch linus "fixing" that pc

[pliant karma]

lol you'd be surprised how much a motherboard can sustain..not like I have tortured boards in the past

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, the case did a great job protection the mobo, really

[full fossil]

this has not just been driven over this was thrown out of an airplane

[pliant karma]

and thrown out by me

[ionic abyss]

that pc is the worst case option

[full fossil]

LOL

[tardy terrace]

in my dumbassery franken-pc antics when I was a wee teen I used a very old, very shitty psu on a pc i was trying to fix, it ended up failing spectacularly and shorted mains voltage to what I guess is all of the voltage rails. Dumb board survived.

[full fossil]

i cant tell from here but i think tha RAM and the SSD survived

[wind pulsar]

Nah, I assume people kicked the package
It's unironically not unusual for delivery drivers or packaging station people to do that, especially considering those are usually massively underpaid

[full fossil]

kind of

[full fossil]

yh i saw some vids of that

[wind pulsar]

Either kicked the package or they threw the package because of time constraints

[tardy terrace]

That bottom damage doesn't look like a drop-kick, that's a uniform bend the whole run along the bottom, looks like it was compressed against a drain groove on a cargo container and the rolling door slammed on top of it

[full fossil]

byt i dont get it why not just protest or go to the boss

[pliant karma]

ha I was testing the gigabomb psu in my dell optiplex. It failed spectacularly too

[full fossil]

this way you will just be fired

[pliant karma]

took out 2 1tb wd blues and an 850 evo with a visible spark

[tardy terrace]

spicy

[full fossil]

oh at least the cpu and the motherboard survived

[tardy terrace]

god could you imagine mains-voltage hardware components

[wind pulsar]

Because protesting will not feed yourself and/or your family and bosses usually don't give a shit

[full fossil]

ehh makes sense

[pliant karma]

850 evo sustained the most since I saw charred stuff on the pcb itself so it def was dead dead. The WD Blues however manage to semi lived so uhh they still work in my spinning rust NAS

[wind pulsar]

The reason pilots at Lufthansa can protest like once every three weeks is because those pilots earn more money than some villages

[full fossil]

wait is this provate property before its shipped for you or after its shipped to you?

[wind pulsar]

It's your property the moment you ordered it

[full fossil]

than he can sue

[wind pulsar]

Not worth it, costs too much money

[ionic abyss]

well shark gaming should do the right thing and offer a replacement

[wind pulsar]

They're not gonna

[ionic abyss]

or refund

[tardy terrace]

why, the dude had linus personally fix his pc

[ionic abyss]

not doing so would be bad pr

[wind pulsar]

There's no such thing as bad pr

[tardy terrace]

I'd take that warranty because if something went wrong you could just pester them about it

[full fossil]

im still watching he is currently hitting it with a hammer

[ionic abyss]

it only takes 1 or 2 customers getting a pc in that shape to kill a small brand

[wind pulsar]

They will milk that attention as much as possible, they don't give a shit about a package getting a little damage

[tardy terrace]

Hey, percussive maintenance is a legitimate form of work on electronics.

[ionic abyss]

LITTLE DAMAGE??????????????

[full fossil]

little so little

[wind pulsar]

Out of their point of view, yes

[tardy terrace]

[full fossil]

\

[wind pulsar]

Why care about a singular pc being unusable when you sell 200 working ones

[full fossil]

got whooped in our undisputed league

I hate losing

[wind pulsar]

Plus they can just claim that the damage was due to shipping, which is what they assume

So why should they offer a refund for something they're not responsible for

[ionic abyss]

what would it take to become big damage if that was little

thats what shipping insurance if for

[tardy terrace]

be on the impact side of a t-bone on the trailer

[wind pulsar]

Irrelevant really, the shipping damage is not on them

[tardy terrace]

boom, laptop

[full fossil]

ok so everythong survived but the ssd did not

[ionic abyss]

shipping dmg might not be their fault directly

[dull granite]

fun fact: intel i9-13900KS runs just fine with a lga1700 stock cooler

[ionic abyss]

but the customer didnt recive a working product

or a product in accaptable condtion

[dull granite]

in greenland tho...

[wind pulsar]

They'll claim it wasn't their fault so they don't care

Thought you meant the 13900/F, because that's the only 13th gen i9 worth getting lol

[full fossil]

Is Sony a dying company?

[ionic abyss]

no

[tardy terrace]

lmao, no?

[full fossil]

no

Saw someone saying this on r/pcmasterrace

[tardy terrace]

Don't take anything on reddit at face value.

[full fossil]

reddit?

Yes

[ionic abyss]

i expect no warranty support for the 12700k i got to oc to 7.4ghz when it dies that was me having fun

[full fossil]

yeah reddit is full of people that dont know that they are talking abt

[ionic abyss]

and yes i won the silicon lottery with this chip

and i dont expect this cpu to have a long life

[full fossil]

what we do now?

[tardy terrace]

Life, watson.
We do life.

[tired glade]

Sony is dying for last 25 years

[full fossil]

interesting medicine

[full fossil]

wdym no it is not

[tardy terrace]

sony is such a vast company, how is it dying

[full fossil]

exactly ps2, 3, 4, and 5 were the biggest hits

[tardy terrace]

wat

[tired glade]

Basically,that Reddit opinion about Sony

[full fossil]

oh damn

[tardy terrace]

sony's at a peak rn

[full fossil]

👍

[tired glade]

PS2 is 2000 peak

[long briar]

they're like, the leaders in mirrorless cameras

huge large scale media company

I don't think that counts as dying

[tardy terrace]

i don't get how you could say "sony is dying the last 25 years" with a straight face

[tired glade]

Sony owns 2 top 10 biggest banks on planet too

[tardy terrace]

not to mention game studios, the whole playstation market, now their VR market

[tired glade]

So, Reddit is wrong again

[full fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/hitman-agent47-47-shots-fired-shooting-gif-24035348

[tardy terrace]

their tv's have gotten worlds better in terms of picture quality and UI/control

[full fossil]

but this does

[tired glade]

Lg and Samsung ships more TVs a year

[long briar]

are you really surprised?

[full fossil]

reddit is always wrong

[tired glade]

Scroll up and understand - reaction was point of conversation

[tired glade]

Not always

[long briar]

most of reddit is "go with the flow" rather than "think critically and form your own conclusions"

[tired glade]

Yes, that is point of Reddit

[tardy terrace]

god imagine reddit as an actual institutional think tank

[glad mist]

Just dropped my ltt water bottle on accident and part of the lid broke

2% of my TikTok followers are 55+ yrs old 😭

Gonna try and superglue it back but is there any way to buy new lids other than lttstore

I don’t wanna have to wait a week

[long briar]

IIRC their lids are intercompatible with a lot of other bottles... but I don't remember which

I should really move that USB hub hanging off the front of the desk, but I’m not sure if the headphone cord is long enough

Plus I do use it for stuff it’s not just sitting there a static

🤔🤷‍♂️

[molten drift]

So close to relaxing today.... Just two more tasks of cleaning left.

[worn carbon]

it turns out that bryan cranston (walter white) made a book

[polar fern]

Speaking of cleaning, that is the next thing I have to do

[worn carbon]

just give me a rough estimate aboout how much this costed i wonder

[polar fern]

I have health issues that require me to have a box of tissues nearby, however, pulling the tissues out of the box, often creates a plume of paper dust which is all over the right side of the desk pad. 🤦‍♂️

[fathom widget]

omg, the PC delivered by sharkgaming...

[molten drift]

Ive been scrubbing every surface. Hanging up curtain holders.. vacuuming. Right now. I just gotta mop and move one rug back I've done the other 6 rooms in the apartment and just my room to finish.. but I should.look.for a placemat for under my PC some time

And the other 2 Beverley hills cop movies on blu-ray. They only had one of the three at the store.

[polar fern]

Computers: $1400 upgrades: $250. NAS & drives like $800, monitors together like $300, speakers like $100, webcams also around $100 each, ltt screwdriver was like $82 after tax & shipping. Mouse was $99 & $54(?), desk pad like $35, mouse pad like $20, desk MSRP like $220…

@molten drift woah

The headphones were another bit of money, so were the USB hubs

my screen does look sexy af thou

Those bezels are non existent! Crazyy

i actually feel like display manufacturers can remove bezels completely.

the only thing stoping them is the progressive removal of said bezel

so that the consumers feel like progress is being made

[worn carbon]

i hope google doesn't terminate your account

[near nymph]

They told me I'm a valued customer and they are expediting a card replacement.

Google will likely terminate my account. I'm not sure what to do

[worn carbon]

see if you can transfer your data to another google account before termination

[near nymph]

And they will also likely terminate my business account. So I'm making sure my business doesn't go with it. Moving everything to Office365

[worn carbon]

its a feature in account.google.com

[near nymph]

They ban based off association. If my recover account is another Gmail account. That will go along with it.

If one account in a workspace gets banned. The entire workspace goes with it

[worn carbon]

that's stoopid

so if you have a g suite (now workspace

and one account gets terminated, the whole thing goes away

[near nymph]

Yeah. Currently Im transitioning to Office. I can't risk loosing all my business contacts and stuff.

[worn carbon]

I love Office, I pay for 365. Worth every penny.

I hate the stupid web editors, those are dogshit

[near nymph]

I don't like office365. They are buggy ASF with 3rd party email client like thunderbird

While mashed potatoes and mint ice cream may not seem like a typical pairing, you can use them to make a unique and delicious dessert! Here's a recipe for Mint Ice Cream-Stuffed Mashed Potato Balls:

Ingredients:

2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 pint mint ice cream
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:

Take the leftover mashed potatoes and mix in the all-purpose flour until well combined.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form the mixture into small balls and set them aside.
In a shallow dish, beat the eggs and set aside.
In another shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs.
Take a small scoop of mint ice cream and place it in the center of each mashed potato ball.
Roll each ball in the beaten eggs and then in the panko breadcrumbs, making sure each ball is well-coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the mashed potato balls until golden brown on all sides, turning frequently to ensure even cooking.
Remove the balls from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
Serve immediately and enjoy your unique and delicious Mint Ice Cream-Stuffed Mashed Potato Balls!

buying a 6750xt and putting it in a matx case

[frigid chasm]

literally has like 1 inch of clearance

[polar fern]

Uh, so dumb means unable to speak. Just .. so you know. … 👍

Language.

[frigid chasm]

not by definition

[polar fern]

1 inch is fine.

[stray apex]

Dumb hasn't meant that since like, the 1700s

[frigid chasm]

most commonly used definition at least

[polar fern]

Dumb animal, dumbfounded, dumb waiter … 📖

[tardy terrace]

I'm a big dummy but I still speak.
Also, speak =/= type

[frigid chasm]

my name is a 100 gecs song too

i love laura les

[polar fern]

👍

[tardy terrace]

pretty pedantic of you to go out & pick apart someone's username at random

[polar fern]

Still trying to figure out which path to follow for new computer

[tardy terrace]

[rigid tide]

i think my cat is competing for the fat award

[tardy terrace]

[rigid tide]

i don’t know what my parents have fed him but he is FAT but no health problems

[tardy terrace]

no problems that you're aware of

[rigid tide]

yeah 😭

[tardy terrace]

[polar fern]

[tardy terrace]

[worn carbon]

[tardy terrace]

[worn carbon]

oh my bad did i jump in at the right time?

[polar fern]

Hi

[worn carbon]

i mean wrong time

my bad

if you mean i'm trans, I'm not.

[rigid tide]

bye what is going on

[worn carbon]

idk

[polar fern]

With a community this large and high profile every once in awhile we will get people in here with their own agenda.

[worn carbon]

what hat are you talking about then?

[tardy terrace]

right off the bat you picked someone who is visibly trans in their profile, and someone w/ the trans flag as their icon.

[worn carbon]

What's the gnome hat?

[tardy terrace]

Mhm.

[worn carbon]

Bro got a red card

[full fossil]

hello guys

[rigid tide]

nuh uh… just admit it

[worn carbon]

lmfao bro got a red card

i only get red cards in fifa for slide tackling

i remember when I was in the server in like 2019/2018 and I would like be muted for spamming and like I would like leave and rejoin and all sorts of stupid crap to get un muted as quickly as possible

[full fossil]

@full fossil dude get off of drugs

[polar fern]

I think this is the case I’m going to get

[tardy terrace]

why would you torture yourself with acrylic

[worn carbon]

man why not a mac pro case

[gilded quest]

Solid side panel > acrylic

[tardy terrace]

^

[worn carbon]

not the new cheese grader but the 2010

[stray apex]

get the nr400

[polar fern]

I don’t care about the side panel, I care about the 5 inch drive bays

[stray apex]

it has the same number of 5.25", an additional 3.5", and a glass side panel that's not going to look terrible in a year

[tardy terrace]

I want this cutie, but w/ wood accents like the north has

[polar fern]

I’m never going to see the side panel so doesn’t matter

[worn carbon]

how are you gonna fit a gpu in that

[full fossil]

@full fossil sent me this https://discord.com/channels/@me/1099799025991028877/1099799052805222460

[wind pulsar]

Yeaaah, though I still think the Acrylic panel fits the Q300L fairly well

[worn carbon]

wait how the fuck do yall have image permissions

[tardy terrace]

my 2080tiFE'd fit, plus 2x 120mm fans for cooling

[stray apex]

you see that mesh part of the side
that's the gpu

fractal ridge isn't as tiny as it looks in that picture

[rigid tide]

im trying to make backstory for my original character but character.ai keeps on going down help

[polar fern]

Focus g

[worn carbon]

it looks like if it was 4 inches by 24 inches or less

oh yeah yall have perms from twitch subs

[gilded quest]

My only problem with acrylic is that it's easier to scratch

[worn carbon]

i remember when you were a twitch sub you got a purple role

[tardy terrace]

https://www.newegg.com/black-fractal-design-ridge-mini-itx/p/N82E16811352201

[gilded quest]

Ridge is nice

[polar fern]

They changed that few weeks back

[worn carbon]

looks too small

I'm just not used to that

[tardy terrace]

twitch sub?.. the blues are FP subscribers

[polar fern]

That’s what she said

[worn carbon]

Blue FP Purple Twitch

[polar fern]

Gpu remind me a little bit of

[gilded quest]

I want silverstone Alta F1

[worn carbon]

welp time to go give linus tech tips my hard earned prime sub

[polar fern]

That struggle tho

[tardy terrace]

I wanted the TU150 from LianLi for a while but ehh.

[worn carbon]

because i want to be able to send high quality memes case pictures

[tardy terrace]

ATX is overrated in 2023

[polar fern]

High quality case pictures

[gilded quest]

Semi agree

[worn carbon]

is hand held the future

[tardy terrace]

bring back matx form factors

[gilded quest]

I think mATX is the ideal form factor, but high end mATX boards are few and far between

[stray apex]

asus has a neat new matx case

[worn carbon]

or desk pcs

[stray apex]

to be fair
high end motherboards are totally useless for almost everyone

[gilded quest]

To be fair
I don't care

[stray apex]

but the market does

[gilded quest]

I love my ProArt

[polar fern]

I prefer desktop because phones are far more capable than they used to be. No need for laptop

[worn carbon]

ok uh

[tardy terrace]

I'd be happy w/ one full x16 slot, 2 dimms, a 4/8x, and like.. 3 m.2's

[polar fern]

Oops, I forgot to move my Magnifier out of the way

Oh well.

[gilded quest]

Laptops are very useful lmao

[worn carbon]

i gave linus like 1 dollar because of twitch revenue split

[wind pulsar]

Yeah, if you're argumenting that way, then you don't know why laptops still exist

[tardy terrace]

dude just get floatplane it's $5/mo

[worn carbon]

my main machine other then gaming is my mac

[polar fern]

👍

[gilded quest]

Bottled water

[echo canopy]

2 dimm also means usually higher clocks/tighter timings

[gilded quest]

$3/month for the cool kids

[elfin jetty]

keks in desktop, laptop, phone, steam deck, and soon to be a pda i put together with le potato

[worn carbon]

ok

[stray apex]

I bet in ten years that's all going to be replaced by your phone

[worn carbon]

lets go

[tardy terrace]

also i really like the little expansion cards that board makers are doing nowadays

[worn carbon]

no embeds for heic 😭

[gilded quest]

Your first attempt was HEIC bruuuuuh

[wind pulsar]

I personally just get 67 ounces of ice tea and dilute them with water because they're too sweet for me as is

Upside is that I can drink more

[elfin jetty]

No, because i use different equipment for different things.

[echo canopy]

iPhone moment

[worn carbon]

i didn't want to upload anything else

i used to upload stuff in the past here, I left, and rejoined recently

[gilded quest]

You need normie photos smh

[stray apex]

for now
eventually we're probably just gonna be running ar/vr HMDs powered off a phone

[elfin jetty]

Im not gonna be playing cyperpunk 2077 on my phone with maxed graphics lol

[worn carbon]

I have messages here from 2019, when I was quite dumb

[gilded quest]

I just drink water from the tap
(Well Brita filtered cause I love that carbon taste)

[elfin jetty]

Why would i want that? I want a pc, not some stupid phone to do everything

[gilded quest]

My roommate basically refuses to drink plain water. Idk why. Water is delicious

Nothing is better than a glass of ice water

[elfin jetty]

Depends on the mineral content

[polar fern]

@gilded quest I have chronic heartburn it’s alkaline water to help with that, and the water at my girlfriend’s place is basically toxic. Thanks for judging me though. Very cool.

[stray apex]

why wouldn't you want that? there's no actual benefit to having every single device be separate for consumer use
