[polar fern]

usually its a bitter/sweet scent if its electronics, as residual stuff heats up

[opal sparrow]

Should be fine as long as it fades within some days/weeks.

[minor shoal]

While I have you here, Is it normal to hear an "electricity" sound when you are playing a modern game? Someone else told me it's normal to hear a little due to modern GPUs drawing a lot of power. Is that true?

[opal sparrow]

Since your temps seem to be alright I don't think it's any big problem

[polar fern]

what ou dont want is metallic/acrid/hot plastic scent

[minor shoal]

It's faint but it's there and interestingly enough it mostly appears in menus. As soon as I get into the game the sound disappears

[summer folio]

That's why you should always wash off all new suff you buy before using it

[polar fern]

ahah

[summer folio]

🚿

[minor shoal]

as far as I can tell from reading online it's coil whine and it's normal to get that apparently?

[opal sparrow]

Are you sure it isn't just the fans?

[minor shoal]

Hold on

Im gonna upload a video so you can hear although it sounds worse on video (probably because my phone is close to the GPU) than it is irl

https://streamable.com/9663ww

normal or nah?

[sweet jetty]

Wussup lttcord

[opal sparrow]

Watched the video, I don't like saying anything without being sure so I can't tell you if it coil whine or not.. Tryin' to find out what it could be so I can be atleast of help to ya

[minor shoal]

Thanks man. I forgot to mention that it's not always there. It comes and goes sort of randomly and when it appears it's almost always only on menus for some weird reason

[fossil frost]

have you just upgraded the gpu? and did you stick with the same psu? because i did that, and found that the coil whine was not coming from the gpu, but was coming from the psu

the higher the framerate (menus are super easy to render), the worse it was

[minor shoal]

went from 1080 ti to 6950 xt and 850W EVGA to 1000W corsair.

now that you mention FPS, the coil whine seems to completely stop if I cap FPS at 165 (my monitor's refresh rate). If it goes over, which is very easy to do in games like e.g. CS:GO, it produces a coil whine. The more FPS the louder. Why is that?

[fossil frost]

some mosfet somewhere, is switching at an audible frequency, and thats what coil whine is

[crystal pike]

How do i make telegram look as aesthetically pleasing as discord (on a phone)

It hurts my eyes seeing the ugliness of telegram

[fossil frost]

the higher you drive the fps, whatever is linked to that, either in the psu or the gpu, is causing the mosfet to switch at an audible range

[minor shoal]

I see. And mosfets are..? I've never heard that word before

[fossil frost]

metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors

the thing that turns on and off super fast to turn 230v into 12v

or 12v into 5v, or 3v, or 1v

[sweet jetty]

Basically a transistor that undervolts stuff lots

[crystal pike]

I learned about capacitors just recently and they’re fascinating
(I know youre not talking about capacitors but i think theyre also cool)

[sweet jetty]

Capacitors are fun

[minor shoal]

oh okay i see

[fossil frost]

it doesnt undervolt anything, it switches on and off super fast, so the capacitor it is in series with, cant charge up beyond 12v, or 5v or 3v or whatever v you are after

[minor shoal]

Is that what these measures are? https://i.imgur.com/nf6hgUQ.png

[sweet jetty]

Yeah, sorry I might have messed up the wording there but that's what I meant :)

[fossil frost]

you change the duty cycle of the mosfet to change the voltage charge of the capacitor, which is what lets you do undervolting 🙂

[fossil frost]

they measure the rails that come after the mosfet+capacitor combo

also, fyi, building a PSU isnt hard at all... i could teach anybody in here to make their own psu... the problem is.. making a GOOD psu, is really really really hard

[opal sparrow]

Go to settings then to appearance/chat settings and go ham

[minor shoal]

I'll just stick to buying them 💀

i'd fuck something up for sure and fry my entire system if i built one myself 👍

[fossil frost]

i mean a power supply in general, not specifically for a pc

[sweet jetty]

Well, that goes for most components lol, I have a friend that's making her own PC entirely from scratch, it's crazy how much dedication that stuff takes

[fossil frost]

made my own cpu and breadboard computer... easier to prototype them in software now, and then use a fpga

[sweet jetty]

That's awesome

Sorry my autocorrect is a little wonky, just reformatted my phone

[fossil frost]

thats the only reason i let google sync my dictionary to my google account, so i dont lose all the stupid non-words that i have in there from over time, so autocorrect doesnt try to fuck me over

[opal sparrow]

Btw, running your GPU on high loads [for example, graphics benchmark] for a while could help reduce the coil whine too.

[sweet jetty]

You know what? That's a nice idea

[fossil frost]

it does not, it makes no difference

[opal sparrow]

I said it could, not that it for sure would. Lol

[fossil frost]

if by "could" you mean, wear the components to a point where they can no longer switch at an audible frequency, then yes, it could, but, that would probably take years at full load and extreme heat to degrade components as basic as a mosfet

[opal sparrow]

That is not what I meant

[fossil frost]

a quicker and more viable fix would be to just hit it with a hammer

same outcome, component broke, no more coil whine

[glass lantern]

OOF some people are proposing using coal ash to create Geopolymers to replace Cement, when even with Geopolymers there are better solutions.

Wanna know why it's such a big oof, well coal contains some arsenic, lead, thallium, mercury, uranium and thorium. which don't boil or burn off when burned which honestly is probably a good thing except that means they are concentrated in the coal ash, and you want to make buildings out of that stuff...

[fossil frost]

YOU contain several of those things too

[glass lantern]

in signifant amounts

coal ash anyway, actual coal not so much.

[sweet jetty]

I want it to rain so bad

The humidity is literally at 99%

[fossil frost]

those things in of themselves, are not inherently bad, its the concentration within the compound, even if it was "significant amounts", what is the concentration, what % of the ash is those things

[opal sparrow]

Love it

[sweet jetty]

Same

[full fossil]

how is everyone doing?

Hello there, I just wanted to share that I just realized I have spent 20.000$ on steam...

[crystal pike]

I wouldve went nuts with it but its lockdown on ios
Did some basic stuff but still garbage
Its not too long before telegram also gets cancelled after they announce their plans to make it closed source and charge money for the api

[glass lantern]

concentrated enough that where coal ash piles are stored need to be treated as toxic waste dumps, to be fair thats because rain father concentrates the water soluble materials in the ground.

[fossil frost]

telegram is an open protocol, literally anybody could create an open client for it, and an open server, and an open network

[opal sparrow]

Didn't seem like there were many options when it comes to customization anyway

[glass lantern]

so mostly the uranium

[crystal pike]

Yeah

[teal gazelle]

hi

[fossil frost]

so. i ordered a 2m DP cable from amazon... turns out.. i didnt read properly, i ordered a 0.2m dp cable from amazon. didnt know they were a thing...

[full fossil]

which tab should i close

i have 256 open rn which one should i close

[fossil frost]

all

[full fossil]

too lazy

[fossil frost]

right click, close all

[full fossil]

nuh uh

too much work

[gleaming cipher]

Anyone know how I get ads back on iPhone somehow they like slowly turned off can’t watch them to get free things in games? I don’t know how they stopped

[dire roost]

sometimes older games stop recieving ads because nobody cares enough to bother

[hard vault]

Hey guys, does anyone of you know a good and cheap hoster that can beat 16GB Ram and 4 Cores for 10€?

[pearl isle]

Guy i did it! i finally got my dream pc! after a year of saving.

[dire roost]

nice man, congrats

[dull granite]

it's AboutCloud.com

[dull granite]

nice man? where

[dire roost]

[hard vault]

[dire roost]

that was to be expected

[opal sparrow]

Never heard of a dp patch cable lmao

[fervent birch]

guys i buy a new mic and my friend tell me its horrible
idk what i did wrong or maybe the mic is just bad

[lethal garden]

Guys I need help

Getting 60-80 fps in valorant low settings
GPU and cpu usage are 10% and 45% respectively

My specs are - i7 10th gen
GTX 1650 ti 4gb
16gb ram

Why aren't the cpu and GPU working at full?

[lethal garden]

On Lenovo legion

What could be the issue

[full fossil]

Is the 4060 worth the 4GB loss of VRAM in comparison to the 3060?

[opal sparrow]

Did you make sure to change the input to that mic? If so, the issue could be either A. the mic sucks by itself or B. the mic that arrived is broken

[fervent birch]

yes input is changed

[opal sparrow]

You could try to find some review video's of that same mic and send it to your friends, if the quality of the mic is the same in the video then you know the problem

[fervent birch]

oh ok and do you know if the arctis nova 7 is bad ?

[opal sparrow]

Steelseries by itself can be a 50/50, I've had headsets from them that were AmAzing but also some that eh.. to say the least, sucked ass

[finite cloud]

Steelseries doesn’t make good headphones

[opal sparrow]

For some this could fix the problem; Windows > sound settings > recording tab > properties > advanced, now set the default format to 48000Hz [if it wasn't already lolol]

[opal sparrow]

Feels like they've been getting worse and worse with time

[finite cloud]

Were they ever good?

[opal sparrow]

Well.. they were fine.. 'Good' is probably a not so good way to describe em lmao

[earnest solstice]

Is it worth to install windows 11?

[finite cloud]

If you like it sure

It’s not that different from 10 besides some visual changes and the ability to use Android apps

[earnest solstice]

@finite cloud Do you use windows 11?

[finite cloud]

Yeah

[opal sparrow]

Was surprised but glad to see not that much had changed

[tired glade]

How you on its UI?

[sweet jetty]

I don't use windows as often but I defo prefer 10 over 11 ngl

[gilded quest]

I like 11

10 is fine (very functional), but the UI feels a bit stale

[sweet jetty]

Idk how to say it but it seems more... Raw? Which I enjoy

[gilded quest]

https://tenor.com/view/ramsay-raw-gif-13771788

[sweet jetty]

The no window edges and super translucent design language isn't for windows imo

[gilded quest]

idk, I guess I just like change

[sweet jetty]

Lol same tbh, I love switching distros but there's always preference

[gilded quest]

unfortunatelty I am an addict for anticheat enabled games

[sweet jetty]

Lmao, fair enough 😭

[gilded quest]

I did get overwatch running in linux, with decent FPS too; but it was so stuttery

[sweet jetty]

Ngl I only still have windows to run megggaa unsupported software or gaming lol

[gilded quest]

and valorant just doesn't afaik

uhhh

[sweet jetty]

Yea valo is awful with that dude

[opal sparrow]

The rounded off edges bother me in 11

[gilded quest]

Is there any cad software for linux?

[sweet jetty]

Ikr

[gilded quest]

the sqaure corners bother me in windows 10

[opal sparrow]

To me the problem with it is just that the app that is open isn't fullscreen because 11 wants those rounded edges. Rounded edges in general are ok, but I want my apps fullscreen

[sweet jetty]

I use Sketchup with wine on mint

[sweet jetty]

Ikr, it's so mac-ish 😔

[opal sparrow]

Gives tablet vibes

[gilded quest]

I use Autodesk Inventor since I have a .edu email, and its kinda like Solidworks which is what I learned on

hmm, I never thought to try inventor with wine

and I think my Spacemouse pro has linux drivers

[sweet jetty]

That's pretty sweet too

[sweet jetty]

It doesn't work well according to database

[gilded quest]

rip

guess i'll keep using windows

[sweet jetty]

make a hackintosh

I mean- what?

[pliant karma]

ahh don't get me started that thing is a nightmare but slowly getting there. lol

[sweet jetty]

I've built 12 and a half hackintoshes

It's nightmare but so fun to tinker with 😭

[pliant karma]

tru

[gilded quest]

no radeon gpus

[sweet jetty]

Oh, sadge

[gilded quest]

I also have a M1 MBA

[sweet jetty]

Oh, I do remember you saying that, nice

[pliant karma]

yea that is me atm I don't have a amd gpu so can't do much but I have a mac so ah no need to hackintosh unless it is a fun side project

[sweet jetty]

I have a mac but it's just so damn fun to build those

Accepting the TOS on them is always so fun 😭

[pliant karma]

But I do wanna take my cousins rx590, maybe trade my 2060 for it

[sweet jetty]

What

I mean, for support it's okay but 2060 is much better in general 😭

Not a valid trade imo 😭

[gilded quest]

I also don't care for macOS in a desktop form factor

[pliant karma]

yea that's where I am torn but if it means getting a rx590 for free without spending money I will trade. But maybe he will get a new gpu this year idk then I can just grab it from him at no cost

[gilded quest]

Can't you get a 570 for like $40

[pliant karma]

panda is cheap atm lol if it is free I take free

[sweet jetty]

Ngl me neither

[gilded quest]

More like $55

[gilded quest]

Windows/Linux desktop, macOS laptop

[sweet jetty]

Well my desktop is currently just collecting dust but it is a windows/ Linux 😭

I just plug in my laptop to monitor, keyboard and mouse

[pliant karma]

I did a small upgrade to my desktop last night that may be a waste but more case fans lol

[sweet jetty]

Nah, more fans are always awesome

I wonder if there's someone out there who tried air conditioning their PC somehow

[fossil frost]

fans may mean more airflow... or... the same airflow at less RPM, thus less noise, or, cooler pc... so.. fans are not wasteful (if used right)

[pliant karma]

still pisses me off that I have that one EK Vardar fan out of all the noctua fans so I'll get a single chromax F12

[fossil frost]

i have my radiator in pushpull, so i can turn the rpm down but keep the pressure up

[pliant karma]

I have no clue what speed they;re set to since all 5 fans are connected to a pwm hub but my system has a low hum so I don't go insane with my tinnitus.

[calm swan]

blender?

[fossil frost]

i have tinnitus too, but, my inner voices telling me im not good enough are louder than the tinnitus usually... so i need to use music or podcasts to drown those voices out

[sweet jetty]

I won't call blender the best for cad ngl

[median idol]

I find it dumb that for my T30s, I have to set them to 3000 RPM just to use the PWM feature.... It makes me wonder why they even added that switch

[fossil frost]

the voices in my head that tell me to kill, nothing can drown those out though

[pliant karma]

100% speed lol I wanna hear how loud it is with all the fans in your system

[gilded quest]

thats not really that similar to inventor/solidworks
and I don't know blender

[sweet jetty]

I have no inner monologue, so those inner voices are just me saying weird shit to me in the mirror or talking to myself, which I think sucks more 😭

Blender is better for 3D printing applications or game model design

[median idol]

Yeah there's 11 of them so it'll definitely sound like a plane getting ready for take off I would imagine

[fossil frost]

about half of people dont have an inner monologue, and the thing is, both sets of people are completely incapable of knowing what the other side have in their head

[sweet jetty]

More so around 30% people afaik from the little Google searches I've done 😭 and touche, I was shocked af to know that stuff like that exists

[pliant karma]

rip yea mines is just ringning. I remember it got worst on finals week when people were presenting their projects but I told my prof like I need music or a podcast in one ear so he was ok with me having an earbud in lol.

[sweet jetty]

What music did you hear then

[pliant karma]

my random playlist

[sweet jetty]

😭 that sounds risky

[pliant karma]

I am insane and just add songs to my like instead of making a full playlist

[sweet jetty]

Imagine rock music autoplaying while you do that

[sweet jetty]

That's what I do too ngl 😭

[pliant karma]

rick roll and monster inc

[fossil frost]

i frequently just get a song playing in my head that i have no heard for years, from nowhere, and i have no idea why. i assume that its because something in my brain got crosswired and accidentally hooked up that memory circuit to recall 😄

[sweet jetty]

Man, I want a music player in my head

[fossil frost]

you dont, its mostly 90s and early 2000s british radio pop crap

[sweet jetty]

Oh, tell me about it lmao, I've heard that shit before

My mum was super super into music

But she had quite a taste too

[fossil frost]

my mum and dad were super into shit music

[sweet jetty]

😭

My dad's into shit music ngl

[fervent birch]

where is sound setting

[sweet jetty]

My mum was listening to the Weeknd when he released his first album

[sweet jetty]

The volume adjuster thingy on the taskbar, right click it

[opal sparrow]

Go to the search bar and type in ''sound setting', it'll pop up

[desert ivy]

What's considered shit music this days

[elfin solar]

Anything one individual doesn't like.

[sweet jetty]

Well, it depends on person to person, but in this case, super old songs with wayy too much autotune

I've done music production, so it hurts my ears

[elfin solar]

Old songs with auto tune lol

[sweet jetty]

Autotune was so bad back then dude

[desert ivy]

Then we are in agreement. Especially the older the auto tune

[elfin solar]

it is crap now

[sweet jetty]

Sure is lmao

[fervent birch]

there is no recording tabs

[sweet jetty]

Plus the music industry have just wanted to show their voices as so crisp and perfect, literally everyone has havee to use autotune

[desert ivy]

Except this gem. Which is the pinnacle of music, autorune and 3d graphics https://youtu.be/68ugkg9RePc

[sweet jetty]

I love subtle vocal effects other than autotune tho, and they've got sooo much rarer

[sweet jetty]

I read those 3 words together and I immediately thought of that or crazy frog 😭

Dude the new version they did on this should be illegal

my new mic sounds terrible

when watching video it sounds good i dont know what to do

[steep girder]

Ew that moment racing game customization give you ecu and like 'cooling' slot with picture of radiator... and 2 tiers above stock ecu improves exactly same amount of same stats as rad

[fossil frost]

racing game customisation is very arcade-y, most are not anywhere close to realistic

[steep girder]

Yeah lol. But new NFS customization in era just before current one (2019 - I bought heat)...

Like the game is amazing. It's nfsu2 and most wanted combined. Plus more realistic environment etc

But at that point I didn't realize just like Android nfs no limits it's more of a sweaty grind and punishing upgrade sinks

no limits is one of those mobile ones where races are still difficult, pvp exists only against real player shadows, etc. You can't throttle or reverse. Just left/right/forward nos/back handbrake start drift

But gimmicky af. Gold and cash, dailys, limits, waiting etc lol. Then there are like 4 parts total in upgrading but they have multiple customization slots each

Once you sink money into customization slot, you can't get it back. Whole parts are swappable and you can store them whole

But yeah short story long I fcked up and didn't realize it was one of those. Sank all money into slow 1999 m3 before as soon as shop was unlocked. One more race and I got lancer evo :/

And profile online ofc :V
Mmo'd.

NVM I CAN SELL! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Why did I google and every single 100 top result was people crying at EA

[full fossil]

Where's GameLinked for #472210112686325770?

Or is it just not being added

[desert ivy]

The 4060 would be good if new games like Starfield had DLSS3. But AMD is really punishing Nvidia's reliance on proprietary technologies with their "anti-consumer anti-competitive" practices

[steep girder]

Yeah I mean also probably up to game devs, right?

[tired glade]

Imagine buying 300$ GPU and enable scalling tech on release of new games?

[desert ivy]

Yeah. If they want to use AMD money to fund their games is up to them. And I say this as a 4070TI user. It sucks but it is what it is.

[desert ivy]

What's wrong with that?

[steep girder]

Like I remember UT2003 and 2004 big ol splash screens. One of the three: 3d nvidia logo. The way it's meant to be played

[tired glade]

Because it's fps booster

[steep girder]

So as youre starting game, you know already. Ok so tested only on nvidia lmfao

[desert ivy]

That's good right?

[fossil frost]

lazy software hack that could be implemented on any card,but they chose not to do, and chose to use it as a reason to rerelease the same shite and call it new

[tired glade]

That's mean GPU itself can't handle the game

[desert ivy]

Or it means that games can be made with better graphics because there's rendering technologies..like it has happened in Playstation for over a decade.

That's a really really ignorant take.

[fossil frost]

DLSS is a very very good innovation, but... my problem is with nvidia, calling the DLSS innovations, a new gpu, its not, its a software innovation

[tired glade]

Oh, that's an argument now

[tired glade]

RT is same

[desert ivy]

It's true that it's a software innovation. But I don't see why they shouldn't promote them

[tired glade]

Especially when software RT was bullied so much

[desert ivy]

Nvidia has RT cores. It's not a software innovation. They didn't invent ray tracing lol

[full fossil]

nvidia here is really playing a long game with DLSS and RTX, basically forcing users to get a below average value GPU just cuz it has DLSS and RTX

[fossil frost]

i didnt say they shouldnt promote it, im saying they should have really really small txt at the bottom of a page saying something like "this gpu is the same as the last gpu, but with better software, you should give us a grand for this 'new gpu'"

[tired glade]

Tesnor cores argument than

[fossil frost]

then again, nvidia genuinely dont care about the consumers. they are about data centres

[tired glade]

And called Rt Rtx

[full fossil]

RTX is the brand name

[desert ivy]

4090s have DLSS and RTX. And they use them so no.

[fossil frost]

what nvidia did do, in my opinion, is create what will become the 5000 series... then trim it down, and improve DLSS, and then they get 2 generations from 1 generation worth of work

[desert ivy]

That's probably true. Mostly anyways.

[low rain]

Wtf is Tumbler #screenshots

[tired glade]

Chiplets gpus still some times away,so they need to sell defected GPUs

[full fossil]

what about people that don't have a thousand dollars to spend on GPUs?

[tired glade]

Oh, that's website still exist

[low rain]

I’ve never heard of Tumbler until now

[desert ivy]

They have other alternatives? Like the inclusion of DLSS3 and RTX cores is a great thing. You might have a problem with their pricing but that's a different issue.

The idea that it's only for low powered cards is factually wrong and ignorant. Since people with 4070tis to 4090 all make use of those features.

[fossil frost]

why... cant i find myself a matx case for less than £100, that isnt dogshit

[crude jasper]

Chiplet will almost be guaranteed in 6090, and potentially (unlikely) 5090

[full fossil]

so to get good RT and dlss nvidia basically makes their 4060 value shit for people to buy the 4070?

[tired glade]

Depends how they will go with it, server road Nvidia doing both big small die and glood together

[desert ivy]

Yes to get better stuff you have to spend more. That is... Obvious

I mean the 4060 is not the greatest value. I don't think they care to sell a lot of them. Since you can still find 3060TIs new.

[tired glade]

It will sell a lot, it's Branding, Marketing and it's entry GPU

Plus Nvidia pull last gen from shelves very fast

[fossil frost]

and then re-sell them as a "revision" of the old gpu

[tired glade]

Yep

[desert ivy]

I know someone that bought it. If Starfield and new games had guaranteed DLSS3 I would've recommended it but he didn't listened to me when I told him the 6700 was better value

[tired glade]

Get rid of 3060 first and than slidely put them back for a month

AMD still can release 7700 before Starfield release

Plus I have zero hopes after Fallout 4

[desert ivy]

I drink big amounts of Copium

[tired glade]

You are demographic that made enough money to sustain Fallout 76

[desert ivy]

I didn't play it unfortunately. Didn't finish Fallout 4 either although I bought it.

[fossil frost]

what... really.... fucking warship

[tired glade]

You know,they pulled 76 from pre release stage and sold it for 60, and people eat it

So,new IP from same people,you know

Even if it's not the same studio

[fossil frost]

i enjoyed fallout 4, but it came out at probably the worst point of my life, and i would have enjoyed a train running over my ball bag at that time, so, my enjoying fallout 4 isnt really a win for them

[tired glade]

Fallout 4 is fine game to play, just story and characters... Yea

Even tho without legendaries it was worse

[fossil frost]

felt like one of those games where it fires LOADS of side quests at you, but would rather you didnt do them, and just sort of... played the main game and accepted that the side quests are just... not there really

[tired glade]

Dlcs stories are very good

Even tho one stand over another

[fossil frost]

this whole twitter thing about rate limiting, has absolutely nothing to do with OpenAI or anybody else scrapping twitter... it has a lot to do with elon refusing to pay google the 1bn dollars they owe them for platform hosting that became due on the 1st. twitter has drastically downsized their infrastructure and capabilities and can no longer handle the amount of traffic they get in any given time period, so they found a scape goat, and lied about it because elon cant help himself but to lie

[neon mesa]

dlss relies on tensor cores which came at the same time as dlss

They don't owe 1 billion dollars. Google wants to charge them 1 billion dollars to keep hosting it. Twitter doesn't have that money. They are right on hosting their own.

I dont know shit about twitter, but I love how mr musker is driving it into the ground

doesn't twitter make money off ads?? "Stop looking at my ads once you've seen 50!!"

[vapid zephyr]

Because it's funny

I'm probably not gonna buy new 4060s for my shop either, I'll probably just hire some people to buy 4060s used in bulk

Nvidia's not getting my fucking money lmao

[vapid smelt]

found the guy you should hire

[dusty rune]

that price is more reasonable than i expected

[granite tinsel]

sold worse than the xbox one X did in that same store iirc

[vapid zephyr]

Xbox in general doesn't sell well in Japan

They're basically non-existant there

[granite tinsel]

ya, that's why it's an achievement to be outsold by even them

[desert ivy]

To be fair, who would buy a GPU on a late night sale in 2023.

[gilded quest]

me

[manic torrent]

That guy

[gilded quest]

I stood outside of best buy for a few hours in 2021 to buy a gpu
only ended up getting a 3060ti :(

[desert ivy]

That's why I said in 2023. Now there's no need to do that.

[gilded quest]

I did it cause it seemed like fun
my roommate and I got up and drove the 2 hours to best buy leaving at 3am

twas a great day; round 200 people outside the store

Saw some guys in LTT merch lol

[tepid jasper]

i mean pc and home console isn't as popular as handhelds there too no?

[desert ivy]

And I'm sure that if you didn't do that you would've had to buy the card in eBay for 200 dollars more. So while it was fun it was also the only way to get a retail card.

[gilded quest]

I mean
I had and still have my 1080ti

I immediately sold the 3060ti to a friend for $500 (msrp + tax + gas money)

[vapid smelt]

scalper

[gilded quest]

I honestly did it cause it seemed fun lol
and if I did get my hands on a 3080 I may have kept it

[gilded quest]

I know
I'm disgusting
I made like $2 profit

[desert ivy]

How much were they going at the time?

[gilded quest]

like $900 lol

Based on ebay, I could have sold for $700 -$900

[wind pulsar]

Yes, but home consoles still make up a significant amount of units sold

[desert ivy]

That's a good friend right there.

[stray apex]

switch is kind of a home console

[wind pulsar]

PC falls significantly behind home consoles, but so does it in most countries

[gilded quest]

they had a 970 and really needed an upgrade
I should have asked for the 970 in return cause he went around and sold that for $250 on ebay lmao

[wind pulsar]

Oh absolutely, especially considering there's more than enough games designed to be played exclusively at home

[full fossil]

where can I find a dc jack for my inspiron 15 5558?

[vapid smelt]

that allot of money for a samsung 970 evo plus

[static crater]

Is stockx legit or a scam cause I see some good gpu prices

[grim marten]

What’s up with the super hated cable mods thread?

[polar fern]

?

[grim marten]

In build a pc

[polar fern]

people have opinions, and its the internet

[desert ivy]

I got the black one too. The best one

[vapid smelt]

the one where the black shaft can get scratched up

[polar fern]

the finish can get marred, but its fine

its not some wall hanging piece of art - its a tool, tools dont ever stay pristine

[fiery cipher]

honestly a finish getting fucked up looks cool as hell

shows you actually use your shit for its intended purpose

[polar fern]

mhm

my buck 110 came with shiny brass ends

now they're almost green

[fiery cipher]

my knifes have gone like dark grey but thats because i forgot to oil them and where they are stored is really fucking humid

[polar fern]

the blade is in good shape, stainless, but the bras parts ... could use a buffing wheel

[fiery cipher]

i just need to buy a rust eraser

but they are like too expensive for what they are

the knifes are fine as is

[polar fern]

all the brass bits - used to be mirror finish

[fiery cipher]

beautiful knife

dont think that would be legal where i live though

[polar fern]

i prefer the 55, smaller and blade length is legal mostp laces

[steep girder]

Thats knife but also flatheat screwdriver at 45 deg angle sharp end down

Which means you could get away with using it on cross and even filips

[fiery cipher]

yeah probably is uk legal but honestly im not chancing it

[polar fern]

this is the 55 - used to have one but no idea where it went

[steep girder]

filips maybe adjust between 45 and 90 until it fits nicely into one of 4 sides

But problem with knife is the moment it becomes heavily used screwdriver, it seriously lowers function as knife

[fiery cipher]

is it a backlock knife?

[polar fern]

the victorinox rescue tool that i have has 2 dedicated screwdriver bits

[steep girder]

That is a knife long enough to stab fatal areas really exactly to kill

[urban vale]

my pocket knife had a mirror black finish when I got it, and now it’s dull and scratched. the way it should be

[fiery cipher]

i know a man who used to carry a stilleto blade on a rope along the back of his kneck because that spot is missed in patdowns

[steep girder]

So experienced person trained w knife will likely beat brus lee or Muhammad ali. Both want to stay away and spend 0 seconds within reach unless they knock out right away. They will survive minimally if they block knife from entering vital areas

[fiery cipher]

stilleto blades honestly have no nonevil use

[calm swan]

anything over 120hz

[indigo plume]

well my rma for my gpu was approved

since hot spot temps were too high

[steep girder]

Tbh kick it out like they train in eastern martial arts because it might not be scary enough to leg. Def foot. The proper way is crescent kick with outer side of foot I think. Either that or inner. But yeah my buddy showed me vid where literally statistically only gun at pretty generous distance can have chance to win fight against knife. Maybe half the police distance they teach them if its drawn and aimed. Still cant be within reach of them because reaction time after they charge

But the thing is people trained w knife can like switch hands quickly. You cant disarm if knife went to other hand in meantime

[rare hamlet]

It’s so small

[steep girder]

So dont disarm. Run. Unless youre far enough with gun. Knife vs knife has insanely majority outcomes both lethally injured. Both people lose. Idk if trained knife user should. The tool only stabs and cuts lol. Even if you win by defeating opponent, they have time reach and perfect moment where your guard is down from striking. So they defeat you back but it goes from WL to LL

[steep girder]

Its big enough to stab all the same critical points in body probably for same kill. Where i am, if it were spring or gravity operated, it would be illegal still lol

Maybe even swiss army knife if any of the cutting tools have mechanics assisting with force to come out, it should be illegal knife

[fiery cipher]

i dont think that why transit owns their knifes

[polar fern]

...

[steep girder]

Only idk about if swiss army knife spring operated open every tool except what can be seriously considered as knife

[polar fern]

i have knives for utility...

[fiery cipher]

yeah this topic went a bit odd

[steep girder]

So like the filips spring opens. It has at least two little knives but screwdriver or corkscrew is the only spring operated.

Its one knife as we call it tbh because 'swiss army knife'. Only its not always swiss (brand) and idk about army but they have similar multitools maybe in some countries. I mean its very useful

[calm swan]

swiss army knife is sick

i got one from switzerland, very mindblowing experience

they just have like 2000 knives on demo lol

[steep girder]

So yeah anyone have a stance? Multitool w knife but screw driver is the only spring assisted open... illegal in Ontario?

[vapid smelt]

we have no knife laws here in god loving utah

[fiery cipher]

knife laws are reasonable in Uk

[steep girder]

Anything becomes a weapon as soon as intent is proven even in the future to use it. So kitchen knife in glove if you told officer its for self defense, its weapon Im pretty sure...

[fiery cipher]

needs blade smaller than 3 inches and non locking

[calm swan]

god bless 2nd amendment?

[polar fern]

<@&750150305383186585> politics

[vapid smelt]

[steep girder]

This is tech. And politcs should have nothing to do with restricting tech from possession.

[elfin jetty]

[steep girder]

Mechanics tbh. What makes an opening mechanism which was just hinge 'assisted' upon adding to it?

[calm swan]

anyways swiss army knife is kewl

[fiery cipher]

svord peasent>>>

[steep girder]

Its actually pretty much same exact reason weapons fall under either of two categories people refer to which have word automatic in name

[desert ivy]

[steep girder]

You can use switchblade like any other knife. You can use a butterfly, spring, any one w assisted mechanism to do perfectly legal things

And yet you cant have them at all in a lot of places

[vapid smelt]

how is that reasonable

[fiery cipher]

thats for a knife you can carry in the street with no reasons to have it

you can carry most types of knife if you have a reason

[vapid smelt]

what the point of restricting locking blades

[steep girder]

Pretty sure the < 3in and non locking is not regulated 18+ and concealing no?

But then there are outright illegal ones to possess from my understanding

[fiery cipher]

because then its viewed as an offensive weapon

you can get the same use out of both types of knife

except its easier to fuck someone up with a locking blade

[steep girder]

Whats an offensive weapon? Any weapon should be used offensively and defensively

The ideal is to make it as effective as possible at killing or at least incapacitating a target fully idk

[vapid smelt]

it easier to find a long stick and sharpen it on concrete

[fiery cipher]

“any article made or adapted for use for causing injury to the person or intended by the person having it with him for such use by him or by some other person”.

[steep girder]

Thats one of those things actually: x weapon is too dangerous so we should prohibit. Duh. Thats why that certain one people buzz about today is used by military. Thats why its best choice for civilian. If youre in state w castle doctrine or stand ground, def better if you actually gotta defend from intruder.

[rough birch]

Since when have weapons offended somebody???

Oh I shoulda read mor

[fiery cipher]

different cultures

[full fossil]

The person below is lying, react to their message with a 🧢

[gilded quest]

wat

[steep girder]

I mean dangerous? Idk. Shouldnt be. If everyone follows law and uses properly, most effective at being safe for everyone involved

[arctic pollen]

looks like my bank account balance

[steep girder]

Most lethal or deadly? Effective? As a weapon yes. But picture somebody used this to justify banning it. Then said basically chill bro, why would you need something like that? Get a shotgun pff

[gilded quest]

nice stick

[vapid smelt]

its spear

[fiery cipher]

you speak so non coherently im struggling to understand your point

[fiery cipher]

ok stick man

[graceful burrow]

Average Dimmskii message tbh
They're known for just vomiting paragraphs into chat

[desert ivy]

It's the first time I've seen called knifes tech. and your logic behind why the 2nd amendment is not political is

[calm swan]

lol

[steep girder]

The last part i didnt bother with quotes. I mean it is incoherent. Because shotgun literally impossible to hit one exact target if loaded with shot. Very quickly it becomes hit cone lol. Even if it meets min length to be legal

[fiery cipher]

verbal diahrea

[desert ivy]

Today in LTT we are going to review the latest hunting knives. Lmao hahaah

[graceful burrow]

basically

[fiery cipher]

linus tactical tips

[steep girder]

Hunting knives are legal in canada even over 3 in and locking. I know that for fact

Had one. At least as far as Ontario goes.

They sell at cabelas and bass pro

[arctic pollen]

Whoa something is legal in Canada

[steep girder]

I think you just need valid id to show youre 18+

[fiery cipher]

so is everyone here just a bit fucked in the head then

[graceful burrow]

I think I'm fine

[steep girder]

Thats my point. What's illegal is same thing but spring or gravity assisted mechanism. What is that and why?

[fiery cipher]

so they haven't broken you yet

[desert ivy]

I don't care about people snitching or political discussions. Or the 2nd amendment. But you calling Knives tech and why the 2nd amendment is not political is the most pepeg thing I've read in a while.

[arctic pollen]

What is what

[graceful burrow]

No I broke them

[arctic pollen]

I think you're describing a switchblade

[fiery cipher]

so you're like the ringleader

[graceful burrow]

No they all hate me

[fiery cipher]

you seem reasonable though

[graceful burrow]

Just wait

[fiery cipher]

[manic torrent]

"AI" doesn't really exist as such, but machine learning has some extremely good applications - this is one of them.

then impersonate government officials?

Nah I'm good

[desert ivy]

I think ChatGPT is the first time I've thought this is an AI. Even though the mathematical principles and computer science behind it haven't changed.

[manic torrent]

yes, because it's emergent behaviour - it remains a language model, however, and has no actual understanding of anything.

[manic torrent]

They are not legally mandating conservation of energy, my dude

[graceful burrow]

Idk why you continue to bother with them tbh

[manic torrent]

true enough, I should stop wasting my brain and fingers.

[fiery cipher]

idk man my spring dealer is raising his prices with the most recent crackdowns

[desert ivy]

True. Although it can fool me into thinking it has. And makes you wonder if at some point it will be able to fool anyone. But IDK my understanding of language models is almost 0

[vapid smelt]

I'm fine, all but 3 are locking knives

[manic torrent]

They know my weakness - seeing people be absolutely mind bendingly stupidly wrong on the internet.

[manic torrent]

fooling someone that you are a normal person is a cool party trick, but it doesn't get us anywhere.

[fiery cipher]

cool ig idrc

[desert ivy]

Hahaha it's amazing how we as humans have a compulsion for collecting things we don't need.

[steep girder]

They are legally restricting specific weapon models and 'like or derivative designs'

I think they say things like ak platform too

[manic torrent]

dude. I understand how laws work.

[vapid smelt]

every time i went to boy scout camp i got knives

[dire roost]

yes me too i also have cutting weapon yes haha

[fiery cipher]

i dont carry a knife on my belt anymore at camps as a cub scout leader

[steep girder]

Right my point being vast majority doesnt. In fact theyre literally told by same lawmakers that 'trust me im official expert -- assault-style weapons blah blah,

[manic torrent]

I would trust literally anyone over you. They could be wearing a dunce hat, and have no perceptible muscle tone and an inability to speak, but I would be paying more attention to them.

[desert ivy]

I used to have Sting from the LOTR replica sword sharp AF. But my office got broken in and they stole it while they left way more valuable stuff. And it pisses me off since it took me months to import it into Mexico and in the end I had to smuggle it so I can't replace itml.

[manic torrent]

I have a hand forged custom sword that we used in our wedding. It's mounted into a display frame.

[graceful burrow]

I wanna see it

[fiery cipher]

i wanna steal it (and smuggle it into mexico)

[manic torrent]

that is a fair request.... now I have to try and find it

[steep girder]

Dunce hat or not. So long as they dont say 'just get a shotgun insteaf'. Thats literally the dumbest thing. If its minimally as practical as auto or even double action, it loads more than two rounds and doesnt need break action and manual eject isnt entirely prying out with fingers one by one

[graceful burrow]

It's fuckin sick

[fiery cipher]

slow down when typing and read please

[manic torrent]

I think so, it was made by a nice man in the US who not long after suffered a terrible electrical accident and has an ABI so doesn't make swords anymore

[manic torrent]

hahahahaha, it's not possible.

[fiery cipher]

what you say makes 0 sense

also arent shotguns really fucking effective

[graceful burrow]

We've been trying for the past few days don't bother

[steep girder]

But at that point, it becomes actually more dangerous. Its semi auto like loads 8 but problem is you physically cannot use it on one intended target a lot. In fact, certain auto shotguns are already classified as WMDs pretty sure

[manic torrent]

I feel like he wasn't this unhinged before.

[graceful burrow]

He just talks past you

[graceful burrow]

Definitely wasn't

[desert ivy]

Haha the issue is importing it, since requires special permits. If you are a private owner there's no issue once you are here. My issues where on having it shipped and not declare it. In the end my dad helped me by asking a driver to just not declare it.

[steep girder]

So literally the one thing a mass murderer who doesnt even need to know which one target will get hit. Shotgun. Mass destruction. Not usable on one precise target

Just get a shotgun

[fiery cipher]

idk why americans are obsess about getting in gun fights over property

[manic torrent]

this is, as per most of your garbage, absolutely stupid, and unbelievably wrong.

[manic torrent]

because they have guns.

[graceful burrow]

Ever held a gun?

[fiery cipher]

ig they spent all their money on health insurance and can't afford home insurance

[steep girder]

Ofc they might be safer if double barrel break action but only because so ineffective that it fails most time against its designed purpose as firearm and weapon: defense against say a bear charging

[fiery cipher]

yeah

[manic torrent]

it's really empowering to ruin other peoples lives AND your own lives so easily and quickly

[graceful burrow]

Was it a real gun or a .22 plinker

[manic torrent]

man I hate it when bears charge me

[steep girder]

Hope you got at least one of omly two shots in enough to kill it

[fiery cipher]

some .22 plinker

[graceful burrow]

Ok so you haven't

[fiery cipher]

i held a musket once

[manic torrent]

just as the founding fathers intended

[vapid smelt]

shotguns hold tight groupings

[desert ivy]

I haven't. I think they are cool. But I think the Swiss approach is better.

[manic torrent]

.... depending entirely on the type of shot and the gun! it's almost like it does what you need based on how you set it up, like anything.

[manic torrent]

the swiss approach only works if you have an actual standard of living and healthcare.

[desert ivy]

Why a .22 isn't a real gun haha

[steep girder]

Anyone with only 2 preloaded even shells of hitconing little shots should. Even if they pre-aimed. One shot doesnt guarantee stopping grizzly. Two even still..

[wispy marsh]

I like the swiss approach to chocolate

[graceful burrow]

Do you live in the usa

[fiery cipher]

and rail

[gilded quest]

cause they use real chocolate?

[vapid smelt]

bet then american wax

[wispy marsh]

Cuz toblerone is amazing

[manic torrent]

I like the swiss approach to war crimes.

[graceful burrow]

.22 goes plink
Everything else goes bang

[gilded quest]

for milk chocolate its aight

[steep girder]

But after two shots, its gg. Break open, be the entire ejector, chamber two rounds, close, aim, fire the two again lol

[fiery cipher]

most of the time they are neutral

[wispy marsh]

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat-hey!

[manic torrent]

no, that's not how the real world works

[steep girder]

Id be surprised if even the shells are out of barrel in shotty they find on ground. Tbh even break action began

[desert ivy]

Yeah. It wouldn't work in the US. Not with those crime rates.

[wispy marsh]

I want to someday own a MA-3516 heavy pistol

[fiery cipher]

literally is for the swiss

[manic torrent]

if you have an overly simplistic view of the world, and believe lies you tell yourself and others.

neutrality is passively taking the side of the agressor.

[fiery cipher]

no its not

[manic torrent]

oh yes it is.

[wispy marsh]

The gun fires 3" .577 rounds

[steep girder]

Well actually one of those lugers from ww2 era. I shot one prettty sure it was .22 or something similarly tiny

[desert ivy]

México allows citizens to have guns, mostly for hunting but the permit is a pain to get and not many people get approved. The approach would work if it wasn't so easy to cross the border and exchange guns for Coke.

[steep girder]

But even double action. Not automatic at all. Hell revolver even might stand way better chance than side by side 12ga break action double shotty

It has a clip and any brass ejection at all lmfao

[fiery cipher]

why do you hate shotguns

[steep girder]

If you dump clip with 'peashooter' of pistol 22 rimfire

[fiery cipher]

i thought pistols used magazines

[wispy marsh]

Shotguns are amazing. I use it to take down Librarians and Nosalises

[manic torrent]

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

The only shotgun worth buying is a break action over-under

[fiery cipher]

i want to shoot a vetinary pistol

[steep girder]

Theyre more dangerous just by design if you load with shot. Again, as you already get into equivalent capabilities in shotguns to even ar15, it could already be legally WMD

[wispy marsh]

I heard of that somewhere in a song.

With your silence, you vote for their oppression
With your violence, you vote continuation

[fiery cipher]

wmd?

[desert ivy]

Calling .22 weapons peashooters is dumb AF haha. I don't get the people who say they aren't real guns.

[fiery cipher]

it can still kill ya

[graceful burrow]

Plinkers Fer sure

[manic torrent]

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.

[desert ivy]

You die a bit slower with a .22. so it's a peashooter

[graceful burrow]

Doesn't get the job done very well now does it

[vapid smelt]

a 12 gauge shotgun 00 buckshot shoots 9 pellets each pellet has the same energy as a single 9mm round that is commonly used in hand guns like Glocks

[wispy marsh]

You heard of the swedish band Refused?

[manic torrent]

It rings a very vague bell

[wispy marsh]

They made that song, as well as Johnny Silverhand's songs too

[steep girder]

Yes but still. Imagine drum mag with even 20 rounds automatic

@graceful burrow whats a WMD dimwhitskii seems to not want to answer

[graceful burrow]

Seems a Googleable term

[fiery cipher]

im mentally slow

and you seem to know this shit

[graceful burrow]

I do know

[manic torrent]

make up for it by using google

[vapid smelt]

i dont the AA12 is a thing

[fiery cipher]

can ya tell me

[steep girder]

Like my whole point is you need certain things like more than 2 rounds and ejector to defend against even wildlife lol. But consider even your 9 shot with 9mm parabellum energy (depends on load tbh). Is there the same practical use for it?

[manic torrent]

lol. practical use for guns. KEK.

[graceful burrow]

Yes

[manic torrent]

The primary use for a gun is to make a bad situation worse.

[fiery cipher]

will you?

[graceful burrow]

I'm thinkin about it

[vapid smelt]

and to shoot beanbags

[steep girder]

The 9 shot still quickly cone out. The whole idea of using for self defense which is the majority of cases where you need a legal firearm you use it by 'aiming at target' and when used correctly it 'hits target'. Repeat until the one intended target threat is neutralized

[fiery cipher]

thats fair has the sniffing gun fumes messed with your brain a bit

[graceful burrow]

I don't own a gun

[desert ivy]

Yeah when in the woods a Tommy Gun with a 100 round drum is the best bear deterrent. Because you never know when you'll be attacked by a militia of bears.

[manic torrent]

perhaps some sort of cannon

[vapid smelt]

takes over 50 yards for all 9 pellets could fit outside a human sized target

[fiery cipher]

but how will you defend your mc mansion in the suburbs

[manic torrent]

nah man I've played lots of computer games and I know ALL about shotguns 😄

[graceful burrow]

Btw the luger takes 7.65mm or 9mm depending on how it's set up

[graceful burrow]

The spread on this IRL patch is really OP. Someone call the democrats for a balance nerf.

[fiery cipher]

i could saw some more off that

[manic torrent]

Shotguns tend to have FAR more spread in games, because if they were accurate, they would be absolutely OP

[steep girder]

I was probably shooting the 7 if its pistol caliber. Then again makes more sense 9mm if its the usual one and 7.65 is some german caliber

[plush rivet]

God yes
If the bullets worked like in the game, fuck assault rifles

[vapid smelt]

rising storm 2 vietnam has op shotguns could kill people at over 80 yards

[steep girder]

I dont recall shooting any weird ammo ever. 9x19 i might have shot the most. That pistol caliber is the very same 9mm 'parabellum' right?

I even shot an ar15 chambered to 9mm pistol round. Same rounds as all those glocks, etc. It was pistol caliber variant. Quiet as heck I even got in trouble because i didnt realize ear protection was off lmfao

Like no kickback. A kid can use it. It had rds which was perhaps the biggest cheat code. Literally i rarely shoot. Not even that useless 40hrs a year lmfao

AR9 is a weird firearm

[manic torrent]

Well actually no

Kid friendliness is a quality that gun manufacturers overlooked in the past.

9mm has significantly more mass than .223

[manic torrent]

P=mv

[desert ivy]

TBH I have no issue with guns, but Americans take it too far haha.

[plush rivet]

Ok this is becoming to much math

[arctic pollen]

So it very easily over-penetrates fired in rifle barrel vs .223/5.56

[plush rivet]

We take everything too far

[vapid smelt]

Mexicans take spices too far

[manic torrent]

Dimmskii takes talking too far.

[steep girder]

Exactly my point. So going back to them legislating away specifically these ones whenever they pop up by exact model. Then lying on stage saying its because of some literally non existing crap lol. Definitely something fishy. Law doesnt make sense. But being a rifle rather than loading 12ga 9 shot same clip size and fire rate... ar15 is physically safer even in hands of mass murderer lmao

[plush rivet]

Bro holy hell
Dude is typing an essay

[desert ivy]

Nah, spicy food is the world standard for cooking. Europeans that grew up without spices are not the norm.

[arctic pollen]

I love spicy

[graceful burrow]

Spicy is goated

[steep girder]

Goat is spiced

and curried

[zenith cradle]

we have onion

much spice

[arctic pollen]

Goat is good but boney

[vapid smelt]

deer is good

[desert ivy]

I think it's because countries that live near the Ecuador are more biodiverse which is why India and China have spicy food too. Even Italian food is spicy on the south.

I have been waiting to buy a new GPU for awhile. my 970 was getting long in the tooth

I grabbed the Sapphire 6700 XT for $319 on new egg

I bought the car yesterday and today it went from $319 back up to to $379

not gonna say it's a steal for a last gen card but I'll take it.

Where is the best place to get a legit Win 10(and please don't say MS)?

[low rain]

I got my main phone taken away so now I gotta use my galaxy s9 💀

[modern terrace]

I don’t know what you expect us to say except for going to the Microsoft website and downloading it for free

[viral aurora]

Free?

[modern terrace]

Activated or not, won’t make a difference

Yeah free

[viral aurora]

I should have been more specific, best place to get a windows 10 KEY

[vapid smelt]

you can download and use widnows 10 for free from the microsoft store, when setting up it will ask for a key you just click the option that you dont have one

[viral aurora]

Don't you still need to activate it after with a key though?

[vapid smelt]

no

[modern terrace]

lol no

[viral aurora]

er

[modern terrace]

You can use it for free forever

[vapid smelt]

https://softwarekeep.com/help-center/updated-how-to-get-rid-of-the-activate-windows-watermark you will have a water mark on the bottom right corner that you can easily remove for free

[modern terrace]

So long as you don’t mind not being able to personalize your windows background and stuff

[viral aurora]

I see

[modern terrace]

Microsoft making windows free on their website has been a huge life saver to me several times

[viral aurora]

Well, I had no idea. Thank you.

[modern terrace]

Just look up windows 10 download and click the Microsoft.com link

Godspeed fella

[viral aurora]

Yeah I have a USB set up already. just though i needed a key for the install. or later activiation

[modern terrace]

Don’t worry about that

There’s barely any difference between activated and unactivated windows

[viral aurora]

ok, thanks

Glad to help

[granite tinsel]

why doesn't macOS have native support for capturing audio from other apps 🗿

[modern terrace]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO here’s the link for it

[granite tinsel]

almost cancelled movie night with friends because discord couldn't install the needed kext for it to actually capture audio in screenshare

[modern terrace]

Because yes

Sounds frustrating

[granite tinsel]

ya

[vapid smelt]

or if you dont want to use Microsoft you can download it from here (its a joke it just a ltt ramsware video thumbnail)

[granite tinsel]

discord wasn't even able to begin to install it, so the solution ended up being to install twitch studio and installing it via that, because both of them use the same kext for audio capture

[modern terrace]

Ditch macOS and switch to windows or Linux

[modern terrace]

Jokes aside, why don’t you just use boot camp and use windows to screenshare

[granite tinsel]

apple silicon

and no parallels either

[wind pulsar]

Because no bootcamp on M-series chips

[granite tinsel]

at least until windows on ARM gets somewhere

[modern terrace]

That’s a shame

Why don’t they have it on the m series

[delicate solstice]

The best place is from Microsoft 🙂

[modern terrace]

Is it something hardware related or they just don’t care anymore

[granite tinsel]

something something trying to run an x86 OS on an ARM SoC

[delicate solstice]

Anywhere else is likely illegal

[granite tinsel]

of course there is windows on ARM but

come on now.

[wind pulsar]

Both, the reason it worked was because the Intel based systems were x86, M-series is ARM

[granite tinsel]

well it's a legal grey area--there's no way you can tell if the key you're buying from a grey market was obtained legally

[modern terrace]

Understandable

[granite tinsel]

and you're not supposed to resell the keys but there's no legal grounds microsoft can actually use to force these people to stop

[delicate solstice]

There is legal ground, it comes to if it's worth it

However, LTT can be liable for trading of things like license keys if they allow it on their social media. Promoting pirating for example can cause them trouble. Best to just play it safe

[plain flower]

What about those channels that promote like, cd keys and stuff

[delicate solstice]

Those channels are those channels and are putting themselves at risk

Just because you see someone do it doesn't mean that's actually allowed

[plain flower]

Jayztwocents I'm sure was peddling some of those shady key selling sites in several occasions

[delicate solstice]

Yea and he likely got a letter telling him to stop

Best to play it safe

[plain flower]

That sucks. Because it's so common people will say "But [youtuber] said it was good"

[vapid smelt]

but it works

[plain flower]

Doesn't mean it's legitimate. Or even legal

thx so much 😊

[primal jay]

I just use a cmd code (not telling)

[uneven flame]

So my laptop is running pretty badly on itself, when its not plugged in it runs very badly without using any applications whatsoever, i have 8gb of ram so idk if that affects anything, when my laptop is plugged in its like its on steroids and becomes a literal god that runs perfectly, im trying to figure out a way to help stop my laptop from running so badly, like i cant even run geometry dash without having the audio slowed or my frames dropping dramatically, its been about a week since i bought this laptop, i love it but its only good when plugged in, i checked power settings and made sure it runs on peak preformance without battery savers, any thoughts?

[primal jay]

Hmmm let's see

So whats the laptop model

[uneven flame]

Asus TUF F15 gaming, rtx 2050ti

[primal jay]

Oh ok i see tuf

Wait 5 minutes

[uneven flame]

8gb ram 512 SSD storage,

Im upgrading it to 32 gb ram so id hope my laptop will run a little okay

[primal jay]

So this laptop has some heating issues

It also has bad battery life

[uneven flame]

CPU goes to 10% when running minecraft

Battery life yeah i know about that, but whats more important is what i can do about the computer itself

Cuz if anything i might as well return it which is something i really do not want to do

Well actually its kinda too late

[primal jay]

Yeah

My laptop has similar issues with battery

And what i do to solve it is just lower the brightness or raise up the laptop using a book

[modern terrace]

When’s the last time you did some cleaning?

[primal jay]

If you play mimecraft i recommend 14 chunks render distance and 12 chunk simulation distance

[primal jay]

Ask him

[modern terrace]

Have you cleaned it lately

[primal jay]

Its a new laptop so i think there is no need to clean it unless he lives in the sahara

[modern terrace]

Never hurts to ask

[primal jay]

Yeah ikr

[modern terrace]

Judging by your specs, it seems like the laptop is turning off things that use up a lot of power when unplugged, I’m sure that’s a seeing you can toggle in the battery settings in control panel

It has that enabled so the battery doesn’t die in like 15 minutes

[primal jay]

Lol

Pretty common with gaming laptops, most people don’t use them unplugged anyways

Is switching to linux difficult and does it work well with gaming?

[fallen cliff]

I used to have a tuf and it did the exact thing but then I upgraded to a msi 4060 12700H and it runs completely fine not plugged in just a bit of performance lost, seems as this is common in tuf laptops, but maybe try reaching out to asus and ask for a replacement and hope for the best

Do you guys also think that the gamelinked video has horrible audio ?

[bright silo]

No gaming laptop is going to run well on battery, though something is up with what you described. I’d make sure you’re sure the program is using the right gpu and make sure that performance mode is correct in Armory Crate. (I assume there are various modes)

Besides maybe the one on the blackmagic/green screen that I found interesting

But that's just how it is

Does anyone know if i want to unwatercool my computer how I can get a aio or fans for my rtx3080 founders edition?

[sweet jetty]

I got a 103 fever 😎

[manic torrent]

why would you do that

[sweet jetty]

I saw Mario jumping on my bed 10 mins ago

[weary nebula]

I don't have fans anymore and i dont want my watercool

[manic torrent]

also: why wouldn't you keep your stock HSF

[weary nebula]

Core i5 11400f, Strix Z590A Socket 1200 LGA,

RTX 3080 (Nvidia INC)

i got these, I know about aio that works on the first one, but for the gpu I don't know

[manic torrent]

Why are you removing the watercooling?

[weary nebula]

and don't have anything for the gpu not even the screws

i'm tired of cleaning it and theres stains on everything

[manic torrent]

wtf?

you're tired of cleaning it. wtf are you using in it, milk!?

I run clear coolant, and I flush it every 12-18 months. It takes like... 30 minutes? Maybe an hour of pleasant downtime with some tunes

(honestly I haven't flushed it at all seperately to changing stuff, I can't leave my PC alone for 12 months)

[weary nebula]

I was using Mayhems XTR white but i got like residue falling out and I read online that in the radiator you could put vinegar, so I drained some of the reservoir and I saw the reservoir had turned white with stains on the side like a glass with yogurt, and it was hard to scrape off, so i thought i wanted to fill the reservoir that i drained (70-80ml) with industrial vinegar and let that run for some days to make it easy to clean when i took it apart

however that was horrible idea, my translucent white (was initially solid white) was now literally transparent

and the vinegar made ALL the water clear again and all the solid white stuff is caked on every surface

[manic torrent]

wait

[weary nebula]

so now I flushed it and took it all apart and put it back together

[manic torrent]

you cleaned it with vinegar, but you didn't flush it... what?!

[weary nebula]

but everything is still white and stained and its so ugly and the flow rate is already falling down again

you dind't understand, it was running Mayhems XTR White, and it turned slightly translucent, and i drained a little and i saw the mess it had left, so I put industrial clear vinegar in and ran it for 10 days

but after 2-3 days the liquid was totally clear inside,

when i drained the liquid it was all clear and transparent

and all the white stuff is on every surface and in the radiator

[manic torrent]

If you run coolant like that you need to flush it very regularly

[weary nebula]

and i can't even clean it out of the tubes, or off the fittings, or do anything

yeah but now i don't know what to do, i'm running tap water and vinegar right now

and its like the silver metal is corroding the nickel plating and i just don't want to be bothered anymore

[median idol]

This is a reminder on why I use Distilled water with Mayhems Inhibitor+ and Hades+ additives

[weary nebula]

I just want back to aio on cpu and something else for gpu

[manic torrent]

dude

[weary nebula]

maybe aio for gpu if possible, or where i can buy stock fans for this

[weary nebula]

no point in distilled water because the radiators and fittings and tubes are so full of white stuff that the cpu block literally clogs after 1 day of using it, because stuff gets flushed around

so i'm using tap water with vinegar and its still kinda working after 10 days with low temps on the gpu and decent temps on cpu and the water is turning more white

[manic torrent]

sooooo, run it without the CPU block

[weary nebula]

so its cleaning but i have corrosion now

[manic torrent]

hell, put the hose on the radiator

[weary nebula]

the gpu block is also clogging so nah

[manic torrent]

yes AND the GPU block

[weary nebula]

I don't know how to clean all this out, and i seem to have corrosion but i guess thats only visually

[manic torrent]

you have made SO many bad decisions one after the other

[weary nebula]

i prefer if i could buy a stock gpu fan or use aio on gpu somehow

i know but most mixes like cryofuel are hard to find wwhere i live

[manic torrent]

....

[weary nebula]

i imported 2 bottles of mayhems XTR White for $139 + $40

[manic torrent]

what the hell

I cannot even. I am completely uneven

[weary nebula]

nothing ships here

not even ek not even amazon ships pirmochill inhibitor

[median idol]

I mean.... I've been using Distilled with additives as my coolant for most of my loops and it hasn't been a problem for me.

[weary nebula]

I can't buy the additives

[manic torrent]

I am certain that you can

[weary nebula]

and i can't find someone who can ship to mexico even to forward me, no stores will

EK canceled my order and removed the fluid

[manic torrent]

mexico, famously known for being so far away from the US it's impossible to ship.

[small zephyr]

why its recomened using thermalpaste on your hotend on 3d printers but regular artic for example just dries out so fast its baiscly just powder left

[weary nebula]

i dont know

its not

[weary nebula]

the temps are awesome but i hate the upkeep

and finding any good or good looking coolants in venezuela is hard

best is if it can be forwarded

[sleek quarry]

whenever i move my mouse/camera in game (ex: gta and minecraft) i get the worst choppiness and stuttering i've seen and i dont know how to fix it

[polar fern]

water cooling is honestly best for cases with poor airflow or hardware that exceeds air cooler capacity in-situ

the air to water exchange should also have as much surface area as possible, as air is a terrible cooling medium
