Had to buy a $270 router. But hey it works great

[dreamy rose]

nothing of mine will handle it and neither does Australia give all the options

ew no not that. APU on headset.

[neon mesa]

there areWiFi 6 routers for much cheapers

[full fossil]

I just said fuckn PCVR

[full fossil]

I used 3 wifi6 routers

[neon mesa]

you do know you can do wireless PCVR on quest right

[full fossil]

First one worked but broke. Second one didnt work well. Got pissed and bought a highend asus one. All my issues went away. Been working great for 2 years now

[dreamy rose]

yes. i do. thats not what i'm talking about,

[neon mesa]

the online world would be... very different on 2030

[chrome vector]

Really? o.O I didn't think OLED was that old. I thought it was a new thing

[dreamy rose]

not the way i'm talking about.

[chrome vector]

Why werent there OLED gaming monitors before then?

[thin fjord]

cost and burn in

[neon mesa]

OLED gets much more expensive the bigger the panel

[dreamy rose]

didnt they say that in the late 2010s?

[thin fjord]

this

[neon mesa]

i mean, they aren't wrong, the 2010s were VERY different from now

[dreamy rose]

OLED is bad for VR. Mura effect ruins PSVR2

[neon mesa]

back then websites still look like shit, flash is still alive, discord isn't a thing. mobile gaming is still non existent basically

[full fossil]

VR enthusiast since rift CV1.
I’m sad to say VR has been slowly dying

[neon mesa]

smartphones were "smart"

[dreamy rose]

late not early

[thin fjord]

not true i was tearing shit up on modern combat 4

[full fossil]

The iPhone 4 launched in 2010
Phones were definitely “smart”

[chrome vector]

Huh, okay. That's actually why I'm not buying one. I just don't think it's worth it both price and burn in wise. I heard if you play the same game a lot, like RDR2, you get burn in on the compass or if anything else has constant HUD. Besides I heard Micro LED or whatever it's called is coming a long way and will probably replace OLED

[neon mesa]

we went from pentium 4 to super advanced AIs in... two decades
on god

[chrome vector]

I just hate the idea of burn in

[full fossil]

I sill have the “oculus” branded Quest 2 hehe. Meta is so cringe. Facebook pretty much ruined the word “metaverse” to me.

[chrome vector]

There will be a renaissance eventually. It will just take it getting into more people's hands. VR will never truly die. If nothing else Console will likely popularize it.

[neon mesa]

like how handheld is having a renaissance with the deck

[dreamy rose]

Metaverse was never anything other than a Buzzword for Social VR

[thin fjord]

same

[neon mesa]

buzzword for social VR that is rigged with blockchain bullshit and overmonetization

[dreamy rose]

no. we've always had handhelds.

[neon mesa]

yeah but they're kinda dead

[chrome vector]

I did/am building my first gaming rig with an LTT screw driver... I am a cool boi 😎

[full fossil]

Why zuckerberg got to ruin everything?

[dreamy rose]

ever since Gameboy, Nintendos made handhelds.

[thin fjord]

a moment to commemorate

[strong hare]

Nah I think that's good for budget options because that 24hz can be put to better panels and color gambits.

[chrome vector]

Despite the cool things about OLED, I just don't think it's worth it. Didn't go with plasma for the same reason.

[thin fjord]

can't forget sony with their psp/ps vita

[full fossil]

Enjoy your overpriced screwdriver. Shoulve bought extra ssd with the money ngl

[dreamy rose]

you either did or are.

[full fossil]

Who cares about upgrading your pc, we can buy $100 screwdrivers and $350 backpacks amiright??

[thin fjord]

i forgot all about plasma 💀

[dreamy rose]

Pocketstation. heheh, or how about the Deamcast VMU or the Nomad?

[chrome vector]

I already have four 2TB NVME SSDs, I think I'm good

[strong hare]

This is the way.

[thin fjord]

i was never fortunate enough to own one of those bad boys

[dreamy rose]

BOOOO you didnt buy the 8TB SSD

[full fossil]

Id never buy overpriced youtuber gear. I think it’s the asian in me. I was brainwashed err raised to be cheap.

[chrome vector]

I did in the sense that I basically had it completely built, but then I tore it down (long story) and now I'm finishing it. It's a long story and been a long journey because of upgrades and laziness

[thin fjord]

how about a $500 backpack and a butterknife for a screwdriver

[full fossil]

Fanboys: gimme 10!!

[dreamy rose]

i wont question

[strong hare]

I am also a cheapskate. But as pricy as those things are I respect it because I'm also supporting a quality channel (even though I highly disagree with most things they say about mice)

[chrome vector]

Man, I may be an overspending degenerate, but I'm not made of money. Not going with four 8tb NVMEs.... However, now that SSD prices have fallen so much, I might buy a 4tb for something 👀

[full fossil]

I’ve been subscribed to them since ncix days. Im chatting on his discord channel early morning. That’s enough for me. He’s a millionaire. He doesnt need my money

[dreamy rose]

you're gonna fuckin hate me when i say Keyboard is keyboard

[chrome vector]

I just think it's neat

[strong hare]

No no this is correct. I love nice keyboards but it's all feel and choice.

[dreamy rose]

not four of them no, one

[strong hare]

For performance mice are more important.

[full fossil]

I have my opinions but I don’t want to piss off anyone. Better than buying drug I guess

[thin fjord]

wdym your keyboard that came with your pc bundle functions just as well as my $4000 unicorn fart injected blessing from god

[dreamy rose]

i would like to get a Backpack and screwdriver but Poor + Australian = PAIN

[chrome vector]

If LTT store sold drugs, I would be soooooo happy. Until they're shutdown

[strong hare]

I ain't gonna lie I think there's definitely a gap between mechanical and cheap membrane but a redragon is gonna be on par with a $1200 keeb performance wise basically.

[dreamy rose]

"you got those Teams?"
"you got the money?"

[chrome vector]

Abolish DEA, establish LTT

[full fossil]

Dont really care for them tbh with you.

Maybe as a gift?

[chrome vector]

I mean, at least LTT stuff is good quality. If it were overpriced and bad quality that would be shitty. But nothing I've gotten from LTT store has been bad quality, I'll give them that much.

It's all personal preference though.

[full fossil]

My cheap Amazon laptop backpack that I’ve been using for I don’t know? 6 years still looks great. Im too cheap. I dont buy anything expensive unless I actually really like it

Im fine with this. Holds my 14” laptop just fine lol

I dont even remember how much I bought it. Probably less than $50

37.99 5 years ago lol.

[chrome vector]

cant take a photo of it now but I bought a regular (relatively) cheap laptop satchel thing, and I really like it too. I may buy one of their backpacks though. The thing is, I didn't start buying stuff from LTT store until the screw driver came out, its the first Youtuber I bought anything from.

That, and importantly, most of everything I've bought (except for the screw driver) is from gift cards I bought for merch messages, which I don't mind. I've had some good questions answered

[dreamy rose]

laptop bag?

[chrome vector]

Yeah it's listed as a laptop bag, and it is. But it looks like an oldschool leather satchel

[dreamy rose]

i'm needing to have one because some jackass couldnt put their fucking bag away and the teacher tripped over it.

[chrome vector]

It's supposed to look dated. It's cool, I like it

[thin fjord]

is it one of those over the shoulder satchels? ive wanted once since grade school!

[full fossil]

It better be good quality. Their backpack is worth like a 4TB gen4 ssd and some change. Tbh id never buy it even for half off.

[dreamy rose]

Why cant we have nice things in this school. fuck me.

[thin fjord]

nice things + kids = tragedy

[dreamy rose]

i'd rather not use the lockers because these assholes lockpicked my locker last year.

[half shadow]

My not cheap backpack but worth every penny

[thin fjord]

that's so awesome

[dreamy rose]

looks like its been through WW2

[cunning pecan]

i purchased winrar

[full fossil]

My $38 backpack is also “good quality”. How much is the ltt backpack anyway? (Including shipping and everything)

[dreamy rose]

cool. you flushed money down the toilet. whats next?

[chrome vector]

Looks like a tac vest. You got some ceramic plates in there?

[thin fjord]

they're single handedly keeping winrar in business

[half shadow]

Idk I bought a dragon egg mk2 for like 250

[half shadow]

Nooooooo

[dreamy rose]

250USD without shipping

[half shadow]

[full fossil]

Sheeeesh. How much profit are they making on these

Probably cost less than $30 to make in china

They’ve shown a half dozen times they don’t make as much profit as people think

Fans will buy it with a smile on their face. Good for them.

[full fossil]

Big doubt. $250 backpack is nuts to me

[dreamy rose]

they dont tell us but i'd probably bet its 50 to make it, 50 profit, rest for covering R&D etc

[full fossil]

manufacturing isn’t most of the cost, usually R&D is

[chrome vector]

@dreamy rose @thin fjord Yeah I like this aesthetic personally. Both stuff made to look old and actual old stuff, I just think it's neat

Its only $64.00 on Amazon right now, too.

[dreamy rose]

unless you are apple

[full fossil]

R&D for a backpack. 🤣 im sure it cost millions right jk

A chinese factory will do it for 10 bucks jk

Painfully unfunny but sure

[dreamy rose]

probably cost in the 2-400k range. again making Samples. designing etc.

[full fossil]

Shipping
Paying people to design
Transit times
Facility contracts
Facility equipment
Materials research
Testing

[half shadow]

Yea I would believe the boost would be 2%

[unkempt widget]

no, i would just take a test that would be worth 20% of my grade or smth

so i took it, got a borderline A, and it didn't even matter because i was using the full year

[half shadow]

Lol then he gona fail you

[unkempt widget]

no, i got an A anyways

[full fossil]

Good for them. People buy this willingly with a smile for $250 then they really are a big brand with lots of loyal fans

[half shadow]

I’m surprised

[unkempt widget]

bro my bio teacher isn't a villain

[full fossil]

Are you sure?

[unkempt widget]

he gave me two chocolates today

[half shadow]

I would buy a bigger company’s backpack for that amount of money that you know won’t break on you

[unkempt widget]

they were like really really good

[dreamy rose]

Wunderbar?

[unkempt widget]

ja

[chrome vector]

I unironically thought about doing that. There's a lot of things that I used for free when I was broke that I want to buy or donate too. I'm still in the, "can't afford to donate" mindset, even though I like supporting the stuff I like

[dreamy rose]

JAWOHL!

[unkempt widget]

they were these ones

[full fossil]

Maybe growing up in a poor country made me think different. $250 even for a well known backpack is too much for me. Then again I can justify buying a $1200 graphics card lmao. It’s your money so you can buy what you want. You worked hard for it. (Unless it’s an annoying kid giving his broke parents a hard time wanting a $250 backpack)

[half shadow]

Winrar paywall is realy good

[full fossil]

Text wall

[unkempt widget]

at being bypassed

[half shadow]

Yes

[dreamy rose]

Wunderbar is an actual chocolate. but it also means Wonderful in German

[chrome vector]

Yeah, like I said it's all personal preference. I understand not wanting to buy stuff that expensive, because even if it's good quality there is a debate to be had if the quality is actually worth the price.

If you like the company and the product enough it makes sense, but if you're not into it I get no buying it.

I may get the backpack someday, if I build up merch message gift cards again, or if it's ever on sale.

[unkempt widget]

oh didn't know that

[full fossil]

Downloading a cracked version of winrar = you’re an asshole

[amber cairn]

yeah just get 7zip instead

[low rain]

I js use 7zip

[unkempt widget]

i downloaded the real version of winrar, i've just been on their free trial... forever

[low rain]

I need it for my assetto corsa ong

[thin fjord]

i have both winrar and 7 zip

[chrome vector]

I agree. If you don't want to see the message buy it or just get 7zip, damn monsters

The pay message is nostalgic, anyways

[full fossil]

Good guy haha

[half shadow]

Well in my mind you get what you buy I had my sc under armor backpack for a good amount and that thing lasted me 5 years so even if I bought it for 250 it would end up being 50 bucks a year

I like your backpack tho. Looks rugged, something you’ll bring in a war lol

[fossil frost]

the LTT backpack is the monetisation of loyalty, the same loyalty that LTT tell you not to have for AMD or NVidia

[chrome vector]

what phone do you have? And it definitely looks functional, not as big of a fan of how it looks though. It's not like that's the most important thing, I would just probably get a different looking cheap one

[amber cairn]

i got some big targus backpack for like €45 that's lasted 4 years and counting. it's got a huge compartment and it's like "hardshell" so it keeps its shape

[full fossil]

13 Pro Max. I have a small 14” zephyrus g14 laptop. The bag is overkill, too big lol

THATS WHY I COULDN'T PIN DOWN THE TOP BAR.

i haven't owned an iPhone since iPhone 4, and I haven't really used anyone elses iPhone. I want to try iPhone again, if for no other reason than for the fuck of it. I may buy a cheaper used iphone from a generation or two behind to try iOS again.

iPhone without a home button scares me

Cant see myself buying an android phone anytime soon. My last one was the s6 edge plus. Great phone but never looked back once I got my first iphone like 5 years ago?

I went from a Galaxy s9 to a iPhone 12 last year

Wait a minute

[chrome vector]

I just got a great deal on an m1 12.9in 2TB Pad Pro, brand new. Haven't used it yet though, need to put a screen protector and my case on it. I've veen finishing my PC so I haven't done it yet, I'm excited to try it though. This is my first iPad, soooo...

(I only got the 2tb because it was ~$1000 off.)

[low rain]

I went from iPhone 6 to galaxy s9 to iPhone 12 in one year 💀

[full fossil]

120hz but no battery hit. Iphones are impressive.

[amber cairn]

i like the base s23, it's very minimalist and finally it ships with a qualcomm to us in europe too. Dunno how it compares with the iphone on battery though, battery life was always the reason i stuck with ios devices

[full fossil]

Id love an ipad. It’s one of those things Id love for a gift/buy for my mom but id never get it for myself

[half shadow]

I would say you could get the same out of a 12 mini I switched and I couldn’t tell you the difference

[full fossil]

12 mini’s battery life was atrocious in reviews, so I skipped it

[chrome vector]

Why did the rest of the world have Exynos while the US has SnapDragon on samsung phones? I don't think I'd even buy a samsung phone without snapdragon, at least from what I've heard about it. Significant downgrade

[half shadow]

I keep a iPhone 8 with me

[full fossil]

Apple has been putting tiny batteries on their iphones for years. Battery life is still amazing. Apple silicon shits on Qualcom in efficiency

[amber cairn]

no clue, they just enjoyed torturing us europeans i guess. their exynos phones were always worse in some way

[fossil frost]

qualcomm have special trade deals with the US, makes the phones MUCH cheaper and competitive to use snapdragon in the US

[amber cairn]

i know that's what I said, battery life not battery capacity

[tardy terrace]

oh god they did a bts of a dog photoshoot aaaaaaaAAAA

[half shadow]

Well for me battery life never mattered because at the time I wasn’t on my phone much

[chrome vector]

Yeah I can understand that, but I've been wanting to try one for awhile and I am pretty sure I am going to use it enough to make it worth it. Plus, it will last a long time. With this m1 + 2TB I could make significant use of it.

[full fossil]

Yep. Androids have bigger rams and bigger batteries. It’s an soc limitation afaik. It would suck if it has the same battery and ram the iphone has. Imagine the battery life on an android phone with a 2700mah battery?

[half shadow]

Apple is Apple I’ve never owned a android

[chrome vector]

@amber cairn @fossil frost Ah, okay. Yeah, like I said, if they didn't sell snap dragon here I probably wouldn't want samsung. I'm not going to pay the same (or more) for the same but worse product

[full fossil]

Ive owned xiaomi, samsung, LG, chinese phones etc. android is nice too but if I have a choice, im sticking to iOS

[half shadow]

Apple is just built different except for their laptops thoes ain’t cool

[full fossil]

Lol the opposite

Macbooks shit on windows laptop right now. Pains me to say I am a ROG zephyrus g14 owner. Arguably one of the best macbook competitor for windows

You cant really put your desktop in your LTT backpack now can you lol. I have both. It’s nice to have a beast gaming pc and a beast thin and light.

I think Apple tablets are going to take over laptops tbh

[full fossil]

That’s my preference 13-14”

Arguably the better combo would be a beast desktop pc + macbook. I might buy a macbook next time. Bye windows laptops forever lol

[chrome vector]

Yeah, I personally feel like I'd always want a laptop with a gpu (unless I'm using MacOS/Linus Linux maybe) unless I grown a bigger need for an everyday laptop with better battery life.

HOWEVER, now that framework is adding GPUs, and they're frigging removable, it is looking MIGHTY tempting. I never bought a framework because the lack of GPU.... I'm almost disappointed I got that lenovo legion 5 pro however many months ago..

But we will have to wait and see how it pans out

Remember the days when you could just put a new radio in your car without thinking about it? Now every ficking car has to have a shitty proprietary "entertainment" console that gets outdated 5 minutes after you buy it, and they don't update it.

Not to mention some cars get rid of radio buttons all together, objectively making it harders and more dangerous to use.

[full fossil]

I have a 2020 Honda Accord LX(base model) the infotainment sucks. I have no apple car play/android auto.

I don't know why people even bother bidding on an item on ebay until the last minute unless you are going to set a high enough price to reasonably buy it.

not because I didn't think it was a wise desision, but that I was like "Ahhhh buying stocks that seems like a pain"

[paper mesa]

has zen5 had any leaked release dates i feel like theyre accurate within 3 months vice versa

[chrome vector]

True though. When I say 150 comments under it, that's direct replies, too. Way more threads under those.

It's just a little bit controversial

Edit: Its not a parent comment either. It's a reply to a parent comment 💀

[dreamy rose]

Strix could be Q1 24 or Q2/3. Strix Halo, Q3/4 24\

[glass lantern]

except the the last crypto boom I managed to profit off every crypto boom, just have patients and keep your eye out and even if you don't mine you can make out with a profit.

bought a RX480 and basically got a free upgrade to a 1070 because AMD was gud 4 mining

[paper mesa]

why so spread out dates

[dreamy rose]

we dunno they could delay Zen 5 chips. but Halo is the one we wanna see. 16C/32T, 40CU RDNA 3.5 iGPU. LPDDR5X on die presumably for the iGPU.

[glass lantern]

and then got a 1080Ti for $100 after that because there were a bunch of 1080Tis on the market because people were selling before we knew Turing prices sucked which I knew they were going to suck which is why I was happy to upgrade to a 1080Ti.

and the 1070 wasn't much lower than it's MSRP

[dreamy rose]

this is for laptops BTW

[paper mesa]

those are some drool worthy specs ill wait for AMD to drop a bit and im gonna buy

a couple grand worth maybe

[midnight elk]

Samsung has fixed the weird issues with their 970 and 980 evos dying quickly right?

[dreamy rose]

yes, it does strip out defender. however if they looked at the project they would know they ripped out patches for Spectre and Meltdown too.

[long briar]

it wouldn't be the first time they put actual GPU memory for igpu, i7 8809g had 4gb of hbm for the igpu

[glass lantern]

Last mining boom I almost switched my 1080Ti for a 5700XT for $50 profit, but then I was like seems like a hassel, but the 5700XT then went upto like $1000 used...

[chrome vector]

Despite getting a great deal on an EVGA 3090ti, I'm sad I got into finally building a PC on 3000 series. I wish I got in on the 1000 series, not just because it was a great deal, but then I would have had more time with EVGA gpu's.... I love EVGA, and am still so sad they're gone 😭😭😭

Please god, let EVGA start making GPU's for Amd and Intel sometime

Literally the main reason I even bought a 3090 ti is to get the best EVGA gpu I could

[dreamy rose]

thats not AMD thats intel. but yea this sounds pretty good. and apparently as low as 25 watts and up to 120

[long briar]

The iGPU was AMD, Vega m gh

the only company to use hbm for graphics is AMD

And it was AMD's decision on the 8809g to include memory dedicated for the igpu

[dreamy rose]

its only good for a Steam only windows gaming install.

[molten drift]

Aparently McDonald's is putting big Mac sauce in cups releasing tomorrow

They just sent me an app notification about it

[dreamy rose]

which may as well be faster than base windows

[chrome vector]

Yeah I saw that on the app last week. I've never had a big mac though. I am ashamed to admit I have like, 95,000 points on the Mcdonalds app, and really need to spend them

[dreamy rose]

i'm that kinda person to be on an old PC. idk if ClamAV would be enough tbh.

[chrome vector]

I am going to get a free big mac soon

[molten drift]

I mean you could order... Like... 19 free quarter pounder s. Just sitting there making 19 orders on the app.

[glass lantern]

kinda hate that the Red Devil anything is basically a collectors item, any other 6800XT 6900XT or 6950XT is a really good price apart from the Red Devil cards.

[molten drift]

And then just get big Mac sauce and save some calories on the bread.

[molten drift]

My GPU is a collector item?

[glass lantern]

it's not really

[dreamy rose]

is there a Way to Reinstall defender?

[glass lantern]

but people pay over the odds for it.

like $100 over the odds

[tardy terrace]

Did you install atlasos

[dreamy rose]

might be an option when i reinstall if its possible

[molten drift]

I got my 6800xt for 400$ at micro center on sale....

[dreamy rose]

no. not yet.

[chrome vector]

I honestly might soon. It's so fucking dumb that you have to do them as separate order though. They obviously don't want to you to spend the points. If you're going to let me get points, let me spend them how I want to. You're just making your employees job harder.

They better not limit how many orders I can make with points in one day or something, or I'm getting taco bell breakfast from now on 😤😤😤

[glass lantern]

Hate you, hate you so much.

[molten drift]

I am not "close" is about a 70 min drive

[dreamy rose]

Fermi has no Vulcan support.

[molten drift]

But I go when I want 5% off sale.prices and stuff with my credit card through them

[chrome vector]

God I hope they expand their stores in the US, and closer to me. MICROCENTER FOR EVERYONE!!!

Maybe someday I'll go to one, but I just don't want to drive 2 1/2 hours

[chrome vector]

How far do you live to one?

[molten drift]

About a 70 min drive at 80mph average speed.

[dreamy rose]

its possible to use OpenGL, but when i tried it steam died and never started again.

[tardy terrace]

@dreamy rose did that command work?

[chrome vector]

Okay, that's farther than I thought, but still closer than me, so the hate train is still on.

CHOO CHOO

anyway, the 3080 founders—or whatever they are calling it nowerdays—is prettier than the Red Devil anyway 🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂

[molten drift]

Already running a 12th gen 10 core 32gb ddr5 , and a 6800xt red devil.

[tardy terrace]

ok, cool, then you should know that microsoft defender gets it's definition updates from windows update, and that's dead in atlas as well.

[cunning pecan]

i love ikea

[molten drift]

Same.

[chrome vector]

Yeah I don't know your CPU but there's nothing worth upgrading to if you have a 6800xt. Just because it's better doesn't make it worth the upgrade until there's a big enough difference in performance to price

[dreamy rose]

i need to keep this Windows install working until i get my phone back. or else i loose my Discord

[tardy terrace]

then dont try and break it w/ a torn-down windows install wtf

[molten drift]

I mean only think I want to upgrade to is a beefier air cooler which aparently preform.worse than my current one. So... I'm at a holding point.

[chrome vector]

what cooler? I'm running a nh-u12a

[dreamy rose]

Which GPU in 6000 had around 40CUs again?

[chrome vector]

on a 13900k💀

[molten drift]

Ak 620

[chrome vector]

Not sure, I don't have AMD. I know their rough performance, but don't remember their technical details.

[chrome vector]

Heard of it but never used it

[dreamy rose]

oh its the 6700XT on the nose lol

[hearty spear]

it's better than the NH-D15
And cheaper

[chrome vector]

Maybe I should have gone with the thermal assassin. It's supposed to better performance than Noctua... I still like Noctua though 😦

[dreamy rose]

faster 6700XT on a 25 watt APU. thats mad

I'm only a few thousand kilometres from my closest microcenter

Walking distance

[full fossil]

I’m only 30 minutes away and have been avoiding going for weeks

[spiral summit]

Could get there in 5 if I ran

[dreamy rose]

my nearest microcenter is across the world

[chrome vector]

Well kilometers are shorter than miles, and I'm American, so it's not that far.

[polar fern]

2.2 km

[spiral summit]

Fair point

[chrome vector]

@dreamy rose @spiral summit Still not as bad as being mercilessly teased by being between TWO of them, but 2 1/2 to 3 hours away one way. I'd rather have no hope than the illusion of hope.

[polar fern]

Easier for me to borrow my girlfriend’s car & drive the 20 minutes.

[dreamy rose]

i'm not exempt. we have CentreCom here

[chrome vector]

If you're 2.2km from a microcenter I'm about to commit a crime against humanity

That's it, I'm getting me mallet

[polar fern]

No a mile is 2.2 km

[chrome vector]

Oh okay, good, good.

Let me just carefully put this away.

But then again... Linus is near a microcenter.

Maybe the mallet is worth it

Mr. Tech guy mcgee's got all the tech in the world, WHY DOES HE GET TO BE NEAR A MICROCENTER

[polar fern]

On our way driving back from an overnight stay outside Amherst, ma we passed by the one in Yonkers. You could see it from the nightmare highway spaghetti

[chrome vector]

WAIT YOU'RE 20 MINUTES FROM A MICROCENTER?!!?!!!

That's it. I'm getting me mallet. It's over, done. Never to be seen again.

I'm there 2/3 times a month so maybe you'll find me there

I remember during the covid times when I was online I missed a day to go the 3070 launch

[full fossil]

Lmao same. I just went there and bought two P14’s and the $60 2tb ssd lol

[pliant karma]

Intel 670P 2tb recently

[full fossil]

This one

Good enough for a steam game drive lol.

[pliant karma]

oh how much was the 2tb ssd? nvm

[full fossil]

$60. $45 with coupon

[pliant karma]

but damn hell yea the prices have gone down

[full fossil]

Yep. Ram is like 32gb 3200 cl16 for $30+ crazy

[echo canopy]

Cl16 Isn’t that fast

[full fossil]

I think my 32gb 3200mhz cl16 kit was $330 back then for my x99 build

[full fossil]

Sheeesh we have a millionaire over here

Ofcourse it isn’t it’s a $30 32gb kit

$30 is a chickfila

[hearty spear]

I've got a board that's capped the RAM at 2400.
So I overclocked my 3200 CL16 down to 2400 CL11-13-13-13

[full fossil]

Did the same thing with a H610 board capped at 3200. It’s still slow but faster than before

[echo canopy]

That’s still a similar same speed lol

[full fossil]

That’s the point. He got similar performance whilst being locked at 2400

[hearty spear]

probably. But still faster than nearly any 2400 you'd find.

[pliant karma]

lol my b450 board was capped to 3466 so I did the same with a open box 32gb 3600 kit

[full fossil]

As long as it’s stable and faster than stock. I’ll all for it lol

[echo canopy]

No? His bandwidth is severely limited. Only his read and writes have similar latency

[full fossil]

I dont care man lol. He tuned it at 2400 just be happy. He went from bad to less bad. That’s a dub

2400 Cl11 is kinda funny too. Reminds me of ddr3

I still remember my 2x4gb 1066 cl5 ddr2 kit back then.

[echo canopy]

Please tell me you synced your FLCK

[full fossil]

Dude. Tuning a cpu/ram is easy. We can do it too

You’re not the only pc nerd in the chat

[pliant karma]

ye

though this was when I had a 2700x then I moved to the 5800x and a new motherboard so I did not have to tune anything

[full fossil]

Took me a year to boot 3200 on my ryzen PC

Agesa 1.0.0.6 update made everything stable. I can still remember the version number lol

Lol?

The bot deleted that real quick

[pliant karma]

soooo fk annoying

[echo canopy]

I didn’t think they were too stupid too, I was more concerned if they could

[full fossil]

I was using it as an htpc so not much usb devices plugged in. Never experienced the issue. I was locked at 2666mhz for a year though

[pliant karma]

lol I think my b450 board which houses my 5800x after I bought an open box 5900x can support 3600 after a bios update

[full fossil]

I stopped buying Ryzen when it got good lmao

My last ryzen pc was a B350 board with a 3700x

Ryzen 5000 and after. I feel like cpus got wayy faster

[pliant karma]

only thing that died/broke on that board, 3 dead fan headers, broken off usb header and I have no more warranty on that board soo it is what it is

[full fossil]

Competition baby

[full fossil]

How?? Lol

[full fossil]

YAY TIME TO FLY to the us

[pliant karma]

fan header stopped working for some reason, the usb header snapped off from one of my uneventful removals cause msi decides ohh lets put it on the bottom on the board where anything can break it

[uncut axle]

Starlink isn’t that bad tbh, just the issues we are having are because of the location it’s at (kinda temporary tho)

[full fossil]

I have never broken a fan header before, ive brokenone of those fragile usb3 front connectors tho

[uncut axle]

Imagine not being within like an hour or closer to one

[full fossil]

Ive heard of rural areas in the Philippines, like deep in the mountains finally having good internet thanks to starlink. It’s pretty cool. Public schools in the mountains get access to internet now

[full fossil]

It's expensive af though but I guess I need to consider that the alternative is 500KB/s

[uncut axle]

It’s ok for our area

[full fossil]

I live a 7h flight away from one

[uncut axle]

We don’t have fiber or anything, it’s dsl, maybe some other internet with like a 100gb cap, or starlink

[full fossil]

Same here in most of the UK

[uncut axle]

Our neighbors are having a pretty good experience, just their thing isn’t somewhat blocked by trees

Also my dad’s co worker in Canada has it and it works great for him apparently

I believe he’s more in the country side or something (I believe he has a pretty big piece of land)

[full fossil]

Ive seen videos on youtube of it getting setup in public schools up in the province in south east asia.Doing speedtest that was destroying any internet they had available in the area. Sattelite internet is amazing

[uncut axle]

I get like 400-500KB/s download speed, with it being somewhat blocked

[uncut axle]

It’s definitely good for my area, plus it’s not much more then what we pay now anyways

[rustic grove]

guys im getting cpu over temps on my 3770 ever since i installed my rx 580? i used to have a 550 and it was fine until i could actually push my cpu

[full fossil]

Reminds me of internet back in college. 380kbps

[plain dome]

yikes-

[uncut axle]

It’s like $60 a month for dsl

[full fossil]

TF

It's like £18/m here

[full fossil]

28.8kbps dialup to 380kbps broadband internet. It was a massive upgrade lol. I paid like $20 a month back then

[uncut axle]

Another $40 a month for faster speeds? That’s good

[rustic grove]

for £30 here we get 1gbps fibre

[uncut axle]

Like 5mbps with dsl as well, vs like 20-40 with starlink as it is now

[full fossil]

Sheeeeeshhhhh

[uncut axle]

We sadly don’t have fiber yet

[full fossil]

No? Those prices only last for 6 months then increase 50-75%. Check the fine print

[plain dome]

lucky, all of the 1gbps options around me are £50-60

[full fossil]

It's a marketing scheeme

I have 600mbps down, 30 up dsl for $40 a month. Im tired of it but I actually got a free speedbump recently.

[uncut axle]

Also probably some monopoly stuff is happening here(again, I’m in the us, a pretty capitalist country)

[rustic grove]

had vodafone wifi for 2 years, in my area its stayed £30 because we use vodafone for our phones too

[uncut axle]

Idk if the uk is capitalist or not tbh

For the most part starlink is usable tho

[full fossil]

That's really fast. I didn't even know that's possible on dsl. DSL caps out at 60Mb/s here in the UK

[rustic grove]

socialist/capitalist, because our healthcare is free and stuff

Or virgin, or BT or pretty much anyone but community fibre lol

paying sky £90 a month for tv and then they give us dog poo wifi, they expect us to buy into the sky ecosystem and take it up the a**

[hollow pulsar]

I wonder if that lawnmower was under NDA because at least 1 other person also released a video at the same time about that mower.

No, lol

They just had their sponsorship contracts align the video release dates, that's how that works

They didn't specifically wait for the embargo to be lifted, it's a fucking lawnmower

[hearty spear]

"We want you to release the video on 4/26 after 2PM EST." (or whatever)

[timid meadow]

The universe heard my conversations today the same way google does sometimes for advertising. My uncle and i were talking about how he wants to buy an electric lawnmower bc his is broken, come home and linus has a full video up and ready. Out of Tios price range, but still

adapter would work. would rather use a solution that doesn't require extra hw tho

[dawn plank]

doubt theres a way for you to use vga without onboard graphics

What about using just an hdmi/displayport ? is your monitor vga only ?

[red marten]

vga only yeah. my main monitor is hdmi, but my mums pc broke recently and so I wanted to use hers as a second monitor while she doesn't need it

[dawn plank]

yeah no luck

on the absence of onboard graphics, the ports are actually disabled

[red marten]

ahh right, that's a shame. makes sense tho since I think they're wired directly to the onboard graphics

actually thinking about it, my mums pc being broken means she doesn't need her graphics card. I could use her 750 ti for the VGA output

[dawn plank]

nothing would prevent you yea

[midnight elk]

??????? wow thats dissapoitning

I loved all the rgb lol, and the metal was a big reason why i bought mine

i get the morivation tho

[native maple]

Yeah. Only getting it because the price to performance is great compared to other brands here. Similar specs from ASUS would cost me around $3300

[midnight elk]

yeah its a good price, i got the 7i with a 4070ti, 12800HK, 32gb of ram, and 2tb ssd for 1800 dollars, super happy with that

[full fossil]

I mean
That's a lot of the reason I got an HP Omen
Lacking "gamer aesthetic"

I want to be able to do CAD and all of my programming on my gremlin and I think I can do that now

Yeah, you got a sweet deal

[olive saddle]

Whats the best drive for archival storage? Maybe something a bit older and more reliable vs the highest capacity

it's gonna hold all my important stuff like family pictures, in a shock resistant case, in a fireproof safe, in a climate controlled storage unit

I know you have to power them up every year or so to refresh the bits, but other than that the drive will be sitting dormant

anyone know of some hyper reliable drives?

[stray apex]

tape

[olive saddle]

I wish I could afford a tape system, but I can't drop 3k+ on that setup quite yet

[acoustic pond]

they make hdd meant for archival purposes.
https://www.seagate.com/support/enterprise-servers-storage/hard-disk-drives/archive-hdd/

here is one from seagate as a example

[fossil frost]

long term "glacial" storage, a lot of places are using writable blurays

[royal dagger]

Holographic Discs were invented at one time. by idek who... but they supressed 500gb minimum capacity discs...

[olive saddle]

I like the Disk idea

less likely to just stop working one day

[acoustic pond]

until they get scratched

[fossil frost]

and if the drive stops working, buy a new drive, and your disks are still good

[royal dagger]

just don't ever touch em

[olive saddle]

well I'd write them and use them as strictly a backup, all data stored on them will still be on a more standard type of storage in my computer

[fossil frost]

long term glacial storage is intended to be used once, in an emergency, not pulled out every other day

[stray apex]

just duplicate them

[acoustic pond]

if you dont have a data cap with your ISP then blackblaze could be an option too

[fossil frost]

if you pull something out of glacial storage... you bin it, and create a new one

[stray apex]

it's not like anyone is going to sell you a 1-pack bluray anyways

[olive saddle]

I don't have a datacap, but I just backed up everything I could to GDrive, and for 5tb it was almost 3 weeks

my DL speed is amazing but UL is dogshit

[acoustic pond]

with blackblaze it constantly backups up your drives and data to the cloud in case your house blows up or something your data is safe

[night heron]

put your data on 100gb bluray discs and then vacuum seal the blurays so they dont rot

itll last as long as you live

[royal dagger]

@olive saddle https://www.pcmag.com/deals/get-a-lifetime-of-web-hosting-for-under-30

[acoustic pond]

its only 7 bucks a month and it will back up all your data, no data cap as I can see

[fossil frost]

anyway, amazon refunded me for the power supply i bought, then was sent the wrong (much shitter) supply, in the box that the good psu should have been in

[royal dagger]

unlimited storage.

[acoustic pond]

what does this have to do with backups?

[olive saddle]

Something physical definitely, idc how big or successful the company is (google, apple)

I don't trust that my data will be there in 20 years. 60 years.

[fossil frost]

i wouldnt trust anything like this at all... at any point they could pull the plug and just go away, or start charging

[royal dagger]

30 bucks one time payment @acoustic pond @olive saddle use em as a backup

[acoustic pond]

read their AUP, it likely has to be related to web hosting, most host like these dont allow it to be used as a backup, I should know I used to work at hostgator.

[fossil frost]

i would use something like that for my "main" sync, but, i would also have a physical media, local to me, that i could recover from too. because any cloud provider could just go away at any point

[royal dagger]

facts... they told me if i get caught backing up? kaputs

[acoustic pond]

They might not find out right away but eventually they will question why your disk space is so high and investigate and see you are using it as a personal backup space and send you a email

[fossil frost]

or just lock your account until you pay for what you are using

[royal dagger]

ikr. sorry

[olive saddle]

all important files have 4 copies

My SSD that I actually work on
the HDD in my computer
an external hard drive in a safe place
GDrive

I'm looking to replace the external hard drive in a safe place part of that. Right now it's just a 6tb WD black drive that I throw onto an external hard drive dock when I need it. works fine now, but in the medium term I'm looking to buy the most reliable drive possible. Long term tape or discs or something

[royal dagger]

i been with em since sept. 6th 2021.

i backup all the time

[acoustic pond]

https://www.bluehost.com/terms/acceptable-use-policy
perfect example

You may not use your hosting account as a backup solution. Our Services are designed to host your website only and may not be used as a data repository. Bluehost reserves the right to remove backups from your hosting account with or without notice. ```

[royal dagger]

i think

[acoustic pond]

that does not even resolve for me

[royal dagger]

i made a mistake

[acoustic pond]

regardless web hosting should not be used for personal backup storage

[olive saddle]

how often should you power on and refresh a hard drive thats just sitting?

[royal dagger]

they been fine with my 50mb+ .flac t'ings

[fossil frost]

just because "its ok" for you... doesnt mean its a real, fail proof backup system, especially when they say that you cant use it for that

[royal dagger]

there is a cap of 250mb per file

sorry

@olive saddle @fossil frost https://www.starthost.co/

[olive saddle]

I'm good on online backups

i'm looking for a good physical backup option rn

[fossil frost]

just use amazon s3, or amazon glacier storage... im storing multiple TBs on amazon s3 and its costing pennies

[royal dagger]

they are hella cheap as an unlimited everything webhost

[olive saddle]

and can't afford tape

[royal dagger]

just host your pics/files in a private website

[acoustic pond]

You need to clearly read their Acceptable Use Policy or AUP though to confirm what you are doing is ok

[acoustic pond]

and what happens when your website gets compromised and they get ftp access to all your private pics and files?

[olive saddle]

any good reccomendations for a tape drive I guess? are they still several thousand or is there a good one for sub 1k

[royal dagger]

@acoustic pond they explicitly told me. no backups

[olive saddle]

googling takes me to a lot of photography pages?

like B&H

[royal dagger]

i just pretend to host .flac t'ings. on a private page

you cannot even play em' onsite. only download

weep

[fossil frost]

again, they are asking for something that seems to look like are files that need to have a guarantee behind them, rather than "my music"... which needs a solution where the hosting provider actually has an SLA on it, and a guarantee , and a AUP that supports it

[random jolt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWVT6DlO3tw
dang this is almost like the thing a while back where a bunch of tech yt channels tried to sell their 16-22yo audience dyson vacuums

[acoustic pond]

mean its cool but that price tag for it, jesus ill just do it myself lol

[random jolt]

yeah that and 90% of the audience never being able to even afford a home with a lawn in the first place lol

[acoustic pond]

mean I wouldent be that pessimistic lol I have a house with a lawn

[tardy terrace]

It's a neat bot, sure, but using linus' dinky-ass lawn was a poor choice, and it just screamed rushed production

[fossil frost]

there are already a few of these, a farm near where i go on holiday has 2 of those mowing the farm house front and back garden

just dont live in the city... its a waste of time and money and space... live in the suburbs and get much more for your money, and the savings in money.. MORE than covers the commute cost

[thorny axle]

Judging the future by looking at two extremes

[wispy dagger]

So anyone want to help create a custom pc building business?

[fossil frost]

no.. if you want to build a business, do it yourself, or pay someone, dont ask people to make you your money for free

[tardy terrace]

It's also called a system integrator

[wispy dagger]

I’m saying like a partnership

[tardy terrace]

do you understand how difficult a business is

[wispy dagger]

Never said I wouldn’t do anything

[thorny axle]

This is totally the place to ask

[wispy dagger]

Yes I do understand

[tardy terrace]

have you taken any common finance courses

[thorny axle]

You’ll get a bunch of 16 year olds thinking business = money

[wispy dagger]

Yes I’ve also taken a few marketing courses

[tardy terrace]

marketing =/= business knowledge

[hearty spear]

how much data storage do you need?

[fossil frost]

randomly asking in a discord chat about someone starting a business with you, is not how to start a business

do actual research first

[thorny axle]

Give me $200,000 please, and I’ll start your business for you

[hearty spear]

Do YoUr OwN rEsEaRcH!?!?!

[tardy terrace]

it's like someone asking you to start a band with them when you're both piss-drunk in the bar bathroom

[thorny axle]

After you give me your name, social security number, and refund amount with it

[tardy terrace]

[fossil frost]

also a bad way to get somebody to help you

[hearty spear]

What margins are you expecting?
Where do you plan to set it up?
Do you have anyone involved who would give the company "Face" value over any other custom builder in the world?

[graceful burrow]

Do you have art assets for marketing, or an artist to make them

[wispy dagger]

I already own a small building our location is Wisconsin and I can create custom gpu backplates and custom pc cases and also I’m very good with custom watercooling

[tiny meadow]

Does anyone know if it’ll be safe to install my old m.2 with a corrupted windows on it and clean wipe it. I just don’t want my current pc to die again.

[tardy terrace]

What about upfront costs for pc components? Marketing is going to cost an ass-ton if we have no clients

[fossil frost]

the thing is, nobody is going to start a business with you, specifically because you asked on discord, and because of how you asked... because you showed that you have absolutely no business knowledge, no knowledge of the product, no ability to do anything for the business your self, and likely have no start up money for it too... so... what you are asking is for somebody else to do the work for you, and you just leach along and suck up some of the glory from somebody elses hard work... and i got all that, from your few messages... so like i said, if you knew what you were doing, do your own research, and just start the company yourself

[hollow pulsar]

If it's just filesystem corruption, should be fine. This can be caused by almost anything - unceremonious power outage, system crash, etc..

[hearty spear]

So you mostly want to go from painting stuff... to selling whole PCs?

And custom watercooling has a lot of risks associated when selling to the public.

[hollow pulsar]

Sell custom watercooling at $xx
Potential if product fails: You're liable for $x,xxx or more.
That's a bit of a risk. You'd want to have a solid product/service to manage that risk.

[hearty spear]

and insurance

[fossil frost]

and add on the countless other costs that go with running a business

[wispy dagger]

I could do rigorous testing and create a policy that states no refunds for custom watercooled builds but I could repair them.

[hearty spear]

if an AIO Fails? the Manuf is on the hook for whatever dies.

If your custom loop fails? that's you.

[wispy dagger]

I have enough money

[fossil frost]

illegal to state that you do not offer refunds on a product you sold to somebody if that product fails

[hearty spear]

nope. Consumer protection laws state otherwise. You'd be on the hook anyways.

[hollow pulsar]

Courts and local laws can overrule this. You'll want to work in layers.

[fossil frost]

so... you offer refunds, or go to court and have the money taken from you

[wispy dagger]

There would be a repair policy

[hearty spear]

and you pay the lawyers on both sides.

[wispy dagger]

Where I would be willing to repair the product

[fossil frost]

and pay for the dead components caused by the leak too, because you are now liable for those too because it was your work that caused them to die

[wispy dagger]

I’ve built many pcs and I’ve had no problems with custom loops

[hollow pulsar]

I'm not saying don't start a business, I'm saying it's a lot of work and a bit of risk with many hands in the pot... hands you don't want but have to have... etc..

[hearty spear]

are you willing to go origin-PC level pricing? Cuz, that's pretty close to what you'd have to do.

[wispy dagger]

Yes

[fossil frost]

sounds like you dont need anybody to help you then... just do it yourself and hire somebody locally

[hearty spear]

And what's going to convince someone to buy from you (an absolute unknown) vs Origin PC with years and years of proven record?

[wispy dagger]

People who haven’t heard of it

Or people who would like to support local businesses

[graceful burrow]

That's a small ass number

[hearty spear]

If they're shopping for custom watercooled high-end PCs, they probably have

[full fossil]

I’ve been a PC enthusiast since the mid 2000’s. I’ve NEVER done custom loop. I totally respect those people crazy enough to do custom watercooling setup. I thought I loved this hobby and I have never done it. #respect for custom loop owners. Yall are cool as shit

[wispy dagger]

I mean I could advertise on social media

[fossil frost]

people in general dont care about that, they want whatever is cheapest for what they want

[graceful burrow]

Catch this block on social media

[hearty spear]

And local traffic is 100% NOT gonna support a business model this niche.

[fossil frost]

again... feel free to start the business yourself, you claim you already have a building, and have money, and can do custom loops yourself.. so... just do it, and hire somebody if you cant do it all yourself... unless you were lying about all this other stuff... but be prepared to fail, because 100s of people try and start this same business model and end up bankrupt

dont try and drag random strangers on discord down with your own sinking ship

[hearty spear]

If you're even 20% cheaper than origin:
You're looking at PCs starting at 2500$ and going up from there.

The number of people willing to pay that for a PC is very very very small, outside of businesses, and they're buying workstations from dell/lenovo/hp.

[fossil frost]

i would say their pricing would start 20% above origin, because origin are quite large now and would get bulk pricing... this random guy would not.. and would likely start out with retail pricing for components..

[full fossil]

It’s a shitty business with hardly any money. Linus said so himself. Maybe twitch streamers can do it. Hard to imagine theyre selling a lot of these $2000-3000 systems with jobless kids as most of your audience

🧠

[full fossil]

Says who you?

[hollow pulsar]

One of the hardest parts about starting a PC repair/build shop is you're competing with pretty much everyone. Retail vendors, Youtube channels, Experts free time, the kid next door... If you can figure out how to provide genuine value or find a gap in current service availability and fill that gap, you're going to struggle.

[hearty spear]

Also the fact that there isn't a lot of margin in PC Parts.
Selling PCs, components, etc. Will NOT turn much profit.

[dawn plank]

• build pc
• make a giveaway to create engagement
• reroll the winner everytime to create even more engagement
  free marketing

[hollow pulsar]

That too. I was focusing on competition.

[full fossil]

And there’s the re-roll

Haters is the easiest marketing they say

[dusty rune]

i mean..

[last solstice]

not literally making your own business

[hollow pulsar]

I suspect giveaways are one of the worst ways to build grass-roots customers. You attract a lot of folks who want something for free.

[fluid ridge]

and then make the winner yourself on an alt account

[last solstice]

then climb up the rankings and shit and grind that +rep

[dusty rune]

you can charge a build fee of like 100$ if you install windows

and then it takes so long that instead, they purchase the system !
