and keep in mind that while copper is good at conducting heat, aluminum is better at radiating heat

copper block, dense alu fin radiator

[manic torrent]

There isn't any upkeep if you do it right, which ... you have not

[crude jasper]

...What?

[manic torrent]

mixed metals are GREAT with water.

[night heron]

😹

[manic torrent]

I can't see ANY issue.

[polar fern]

well, as long as they are separated in the loop

[manic torrent]

.....

[night heron]

aim to have as many varieties of metal as possible in your loop

[crude jasper]

mixed metals are fine if you have proper additives and nickel plating but Copper being worse than aluminum in a radiator? 🤣

[median idol]

Oh boy here we go

[manic torrent]

because water is well known for not conducting

[polar fern]

you can always use alu for the block its honestly fine

[median idol]

Trust me, even if that's the case..... Mixing metals is a big no-no in custom loops

[polar fern]

well pure water is an insulator, hense distilled water

i'd flush the loop with distilled water then fill it

[mint yacht]

Also y'all the aluminium fins in a radiator don't touch the water

[polar fern]

well theres the tubes and the fins

micro-channel

[crude jasper]

And why exactly would the pipes be aluminum

[wind pulsar]

In a finstack copper is worse, yes

Aluminum is better at radiating heat, copper is better at transferring heat

[manic torrent]

The thing is, metal is terrible, water is terrible, electricity is terrible. Everything sucks, might as well shove your loop full of white goop and ruin your shit.

[wind pulsar]

[fierce moth]

white goop aye?

[polar fern]

thicc

[night heron]

is there any particular white goop that you would recommend?

[polar fern]

pva glue for maximum flow

[mint yacht]

EK Mystic fog cryofuel

[median idol]

https://tenor.com/view/kekw-gif-20776575

[mint yacht]

It's the only fluid I know of that looks like that but doesn't break any rules in the server
And diluted PVA ig

[fierce moth]

milk, but thats not goopy

[polar fern]

um. https://www.amazon.com/Alphacool-14193-NexXxoS-Monsta-Radiator/dp/B00BEZOSFI

thicccc

[night heron]

i presumed that you were insinuating the use of a more viscous white goop

[mint yacht]

What's the thickest 240mm rad?

[wind pulsar]

The Nexxxos monsta ones

[polar fern]

thats what that is

[night heron]

NexXxoS

[polar fern]

but thats a 360 mm

[night heron]

seems like a username that someone would use on xbox360

[wind pulsar]

...

Ever considered that they might exist as 240mm radiators?

[manic torrent]

mine are 360 - one is thick and one is thiccc

[wind pulsar]

Those are 86mm

[polar fern]

yeah just being specific

oh wow they make athletic cooldown vests wat

[median idol]

Me with my dual 480 and single 360 rads in my 7000D

[night heron]

i do not fancy the appearance of radiators that measure in lesser than 280mm

[wind pulsar]

They got you covered

[small zephyr]

🤔 hmmm best thermal paste i found for 3d printing that i can buy without problems is kyronaut extreme its supposed to be good up to 350c

[timber bone]

We gotta get Linus to react to Bringing the Backrooms into VRCHAT by DarrenZues he made a Linus Avatar for VRChat

[night heron]

splendid discovery akira i am most pleased

[mint yacht]

Christ
Maybe I'll get myself one

[wind pulsar]

They're actually not that expensive, around $140 or so

[night heron]

i reckon you should slap one of them fellers in ur computer

[wind pulsar]

You'll almost certainly have to do push-pull though, so these will actually be around 130mm thick

[polar fern]

https://www.amazon.com/Alphacool-UT60-Radiator-refoidisseurs-radiators-Universal/dp/B007R7676A?ref_=ast_sto_dp

[median idol]

Only times when push/pull actually has an effect when rads are that thick lol

[polar fern]

something something boundary layer pressure in an enclosed space

[night heron]

i concur it will most certainly necessitate a push-pull fan configuration in order to achieve optimal efficiency with its impressive girth

talking like this is so fun idk y

[errant solar]

Hi

[polar fern]

ooo https://www.amazon.com/Alphacool-14373-NexXxoS-HPE-60-Radiator/dp/B09RPKJ6Y8?ref_=ast_sto_dp

ahoy, how are ya?

[median idol]

There are rads like the Hardware Labs GTR rads that require like 2K RPM in order to make them work efficiently

[polar fern]

i kinda like this one https://a.co/d/491eotC

[fierce moth]

foobar2000 is the best audio player, i can literally play game audio formats like SPC

[tepid jasper]

just slap a car radiator in your computer

[crude jasper]

radiation hardly matters in forced-convection heatsinks, if they're performing better its because of design being different. so something is larger or smaller, and thicker or thinner
Surface finish also plays a role

[polar fern]

the issue with car radiators is that the fin density isnt very good

[mint yacht]

I love tiny rads like this

[median idol]

Alphacool rads are pretty nice, they even have multiple ports that can drain the system more easily

I think EK has newer rads that followed suit

[polar fern]

you could hypothetically put a lil cooling duct on the side of the case where air goes in the front and out the back or in the bottom and out the top, just tuck the radiators in there - you could even have seperated baffles to go toward multiple radiators

that way no fans in the case needed

could just be a glass box with holes for the tubes

kinda like this

[median idol]

Yeah I've seen it on some computex videos and it does sound like an interesting concept. Am definitely curious to see how it compares to other coolings in practice

[wispy marsh]

[fierce moth]

That text is extremely small

[wispy marsh]

This is the next screen

[polar fern]

minimalistic gone too far

[fierce moth]

I need to bloody zoom in

[whole swallow]

gotta have Apple iEye ocular replacements to continue being an Apple customer

[calm swan]

is ms office down wtf

[mystic slate]

fixed a corrupt harddrive so now i’m up 1tb storage

[manic torrent]

by realising that it's 2023 and you don't need hard drives anymore?

[mystic slate]

storage.

i found it in my basement

[fierce moth]

hard drives are good for mass storage on the cheap

[mystic slate]

it’s free

[manic torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/its-free-real-sate-gif-7215175

[mystic slate]

as we say in sweden. free is delicious

[fierce moth]

i was gonna play some vr but i got distracted playing tetris on my gba

[river yoke]

AAAAAA

[wispy mirage]

Do I need to have the software for bitsum high performance mode always active? Or can I install it and then have it closed

[fierce moth]

one of these would be good for my retro consoles

as my monitor does not have native AV

and hdmi is expensive (at least on the gc)

[fossil dirge]

That looks like a good monitor

[fierce moth]

i only really need a mini one to sit beside my main monitor

so when i play my gamecube or wii i can just play

[jaunty cairn]

@fierce moth , can't you just use an a/v to HDMI adapter?

[fierce moth]

poor quality

theres a lot of noise when i use one

[jaunty cairn]

I didn't think of that. I guess I can see why, the adapter is just upscaling to a higher resolution

[graceful burrow]

A tft display is gonna look just as bad kek

[fierce moth]

i am looking at options

[fierce moth]

but yep, gamecube with standard av cables outputs 480i

you can get specialised hdmi adapters that output 480p but thats super expensive

mainly cause they use FPGA's

but they run gcvideo which is a neat project that reversed engineered the original gamecube component cable

so people could run hdmi on it

[sweet jetty]

Supsup lttcord

[fierce moth]

yo

[sweet jetty]

What's poppin

[fierce moth]

nothin much

just playing some tetris on my gba

[sweet jetty]

That's nice

[polar fern]

This any good? https://a.co/d/9CHcRuo

[west oar]

high price

[fierce moth]

its australian dollar

[west oar]

good price

[ivory lily]

yeah its fine

[gilded quest]

It's fine, but if you want to save a few bucks, you can get an RM750X for $120 https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-RM750x-Fully-Modular-Supply/dp/B08R5W27JS/

[tardy terrace]

the 2021 series is rock-solid, I have the 850x, absolutely no complaints

[patent mantle]

Let’s gooooooo I’m going to LTX, first time going!

[lusty kiln]

corsair's rmx psu's are great

[sweet jetty]

Good luck! Hope you enjoy

[patent mantle]

Thanks!

[fierce moth]

idk why but classical is well suited to listen to when i play tetris

[sweet jetty]

There's a song called dopamine highscore, it's the first song I put on while playing tetris lol

Fits the vibe a lott

[fierce moth]

nice nice

there is rarely a moment of when i play a game that i dont have music playing from somewhere else

music in games nowadays is ass imo

just shitty rap music or other mainstream songs

[sweet jetty]

Fr tho, except very few ones

I never play undertale without volume, the ost is so beautiful

[fierce moth]

fr fr

either that type of music, or they should bring back the orchestra

cause super mario galaxy had such bangers

[lucid echo]

sounds like you're playing the wrong games lmao
I can't think of any (except maybe GTA) with that kinda music

[desert ivy]

The Rivellon song of Divinity Original Sin 2 was number 2 on my Spotify 2022 playlist

[desert ivy]

Saying a whole genre is shit and that mainstream songs are bad is just an ignorant take on music.

Like all the great old bands were once mainstream.

[fierce moth]

i suppose, maybe im just built different

[lucid echo]

#NotLikeOtherKids

[gaunt compass]

hey guys am i allowed to talk ab cheap windows keys here ?

[lucid echo]

In a general sense yes, but no direct links or instructions

[gaunt compass]

what ab like website names

[fierce moth]

yep purely a zoomer problem for me

[gaunt compass]

cuz i just want to know which ones are legit yk

[lucid echo]

Or you can just do this
https://medium.com/wireless-bidet/how-to-activate-windows-10-using-command-prompt-9c5d248f3420

I've done it on a dozen different computers

[median idol]

This. I've done this on pretty much all of my modern windows installs

[gaunt compass]

so i would wait until i build the pc to do this ?

[lucid echo]

Feeling different from your peers & enjoying a different era of culture is extremely common amongst all generations, you'll see it more and more often as you grow up

[gaunt compass]

also am i able to upgrade to windows 10 at some point ?

[lucid echo]

Well, it's impossible to do without a running computer, so yeah

[lucid echo]

That works on 10 and 11

[gaunt compass]

oh ok awesome ty

[desert ivy]

Bringing the music down of accomplished musicians just because it isn't to your preference is just cringe AF.

[fierce moth]

i feel its weird to me, as i like shit thats like from 3-4 centuries ago

[lucid echo]

Kids be doing kid things

[lucid echo]

Nah that's not weird, lots and lots of folks of all ages enjoy it. But if feeling like a special cultural outsider improves your self-esteem, go for it bud. Just don't shit on other people's taste

[desert ivy]

You can like stuff without bringing other things down you know. Actual musicians who know about music like the music you think it's shit. So just something to think about.

[obtuse slate]

would the 5600X3D be good for flight sim? i may also consider a 5700X

[fierce moth]

personally, given enough time ill probs start to appreciate it even though it doesnt appeal to me

[lucid echo]

A very important lesson to learn while growing up, is that disliking mainstream media/music/culture does not automatically make you a better person

[fierce moth]

i am only 17 rn after all

[obtuse slate]

weird

[neon mesa]

i don't know man
disliking the current tiktok brainrot trend seems beneficial

or maybe even life saving as you don't need to eat tide pods

[lucid echo]

if the 5800X3D is in your budget, I would look at that

[fierce moth]

this, i dont bother with tiktok imo

[desert ivy]

You don't realize it yet, but that's you becoming a boomer.

[neon mesa]

i'm 18

[obtuse slate]

not really no I'm gonna use that money for addons or a new ssd

[neon mesa]

like even china has different tiktok
you know shit is bad if even the creators know it's bad

[desert ivy]

Then it's stereotypical teenager angst about their generation.

[fierce moth]

its universal that tiktok is shit

[rustic crane]

Hey linus when HDR videos

[obtuse slate]

im on a 3600 rn and it barely uses 20% of my CPU when flying. so I'm thinking cache is more important than core count

[lucid echo]

That's kinda a separate thing

• You can consume tiktok all day, but only the counter-culture non-mainstream channels
• You can never go on tiktok, but still consume mainstream "pop" media and music

[opal sparrow]

The trend of pretending to have a mental disorder.. Can't believe people do that

[fierce moth]

its not confined to a single generation

[obtuse slate]

am i the only ppl who don't use tiktok?

[neon mesa]

anything for pity points

[opal sparrow]

I do not have any social media

[obtuse slate]

even better

[lucid echo]

Post a thread on #1106613567966429224 with the parts you are considering, your usage/needs, and the budget you have. PCPartPicker links help. You'll get more consistent answer there.

[obtuse slate]

ah for sure thx

[neon mesa]

discord is one

[fierce moth]

hate to be that guy but <@&750150305383186585>

[rustic crane]

I didnt ping him

[opal sparrow]

Well I thought it'd seem obvious that I meant besides Discord lolol

[neon mesa]

i mean do you even know if the ping is on

[rustic crane]

I deactivated

[fierce moth]

best be safe than sorry

[desert ivy]

It's why Catcher in the Rye is one of my favorite books. Like teenage angst and criticisms about culture have been repeating over 75 years

[rustic crane]

Yeah but its better you ping them because linus said he would do them like a lottttt of time ago

Maybe they'll tell linus

[neon mesa]

pinging linus is against server rules

[fierce moth]

^

[neon mesa]

and linus probably already knows

[rustic crane]

I know its against the rules

In fact i didnt ping

[lucid echo]

They're talked about this. Youtube fucks up HDR uploads a lot, and they won't be posting any HDR content until their system is improved

[rustic crane]

Oh ok

[desert ivy]

Snitching

[rustic crane]

Thanks

[sage quiver]

My understanding is that they've been working through some workflow issues with HDR, especially pertaining to consistency between different device/player types. That said, best not to give the impression you pinged LMG staff, even if you did not.

[rustic crane]

I just wanna take advantage of my HDR screen, i mean, everyone has at least HDR on their phone

[desert ivy]

I always replied with ping on because I didn't know you could turn it off

[rustic crane]

Ok

[lucid echo]

IIRC youtube doesn't let you upload two separate SDR/HDR variants, so you have to rely on them converting your HDR content to SDR

Floatplane allows it, however

[rustic crane]

Dont wanna pay to see an uncut video

[sage quiver]

Uncut?

[desert ivy]

I wish everyone catered to the highest common denominator.

[fierce moth]

yep id wouldnt be surprised if hdr was floatplane exclusive in the future

[lucid echo]

That's not how FP works

[rustic crane]

Wasnt floatplane for the behind the scenes

[sage quiver]

It has their regular content as well, minus the sponsor spots

[fierce moth]

floatplane is for supporting creators

[sage quiver]

With higher video/audio quality

[fierce moth]

like lmg and others

[lucid echo]

They sometimes have extended cuts of the longer videos, but they also upload all the normal videos with the ad reads removed

Also exclusives like staff interviews

[desert ivy]

HDR on the type of content LTT produces doesn't make sense TBH. Like basically all it provides is 10bit color for reduced color banding which get lost in compression anyways

[lucid echo]

They've only uploaded HDR videos a couple times, and only when it really made a difference. The bio-luminescent watercooling fluid is one example

[neon mesa]

personally prefer youtube premium

[lucid echo]

But yeah for their general videos not much sense

[lucid echo]

Porque no los dos

[rustic crane]

I guess its a bad idea then

[neon mesa]

and iirc youtube premium also gives more revenue for creators

[sage quiver]

More revenue relative to regular ad-supported views, yes

Significantly more

[desert ivy]

Yeah to make a difference it would make their videos a lot more expensive since it's my understanding that a proper HDR grade is more difficult to do.

[fierce moth]

i run with floatplane and yt premium

[lucid echo]

Yep, premium is ~1000x the per-view revenue for creators vs ad-supported viewers

[neon mesa]

you'll end up with a mountain of subscription is why not

[desert ivy]

I had Floatplane for two months and watched 1 video in total. It wasn't for me.

[neon mesa]

have to keep the amount of subs low

shit gonna add up if you willy nilly sub everywhere

[fierce moth]

and i sometimes put the live vods on to listen while i work or sleep

on yt normally

[neon mesa]

1000 youtube premium users is enough to offset 1 million normal users? damn

[rustic crane]

The opera gx browser actually removes all ads, even youtube's
It used to remove Spotify's ads too but not now

[desert ivy]

Especially if they are leeches that use ad-blockers.

[dusty rune]

edge solos

[neon mesa]

edge the best browser

[rustic crane]

Edge is cooler because you have those rewards

[neon mesa]

especially edge dev branch

[desert ivy]

I'm glad YouTube is implementing ad-blockers measures to prevent people taking revenue from creators.

[fierce moth]

sweats

[lucid echo]

Oh boy, the browser wars have begun in pub chat, peace out yall

[desert ivy]

Firefox for life here.

[dusty rune]

i have 3500 points after a few months

[fierce moth]

i run pihole 💀

[rustic crane]

Cant wait for a 10 second pop up that says im using and ad blocker like on aternos

[neon mesa]

ads have gotten obnoxious and there should be better ways to serve ads
but some people are also very entitled here

[dusty rune]

cant tell if ure ironic

[neon mesa]

100% ad blocking and want free content is basically piracy

[lucid echo]

I prefer my browser to be non-profit

[calm swan]

10 second double unskippable sucks

[desert ivy]

No, I'm genuinely glad. I pay for YouTube premium.

[fierce moth]

pihole best adblocker

[neon mesa]

there needs to be a balance

[desert ivy]

If everyone was like me, or didn't use ads, the creators I watch would have more money to produce more content.

[lucid echo]

The theory goes that ads would be less insane if fewer people were using adblock
But I highly, highly doubt that google would ever backtrack the ad volume at this point

[neon mesa]

yeah google being nuts with ad volume AND people being entitled with the ad blocks is a vicious negative feedback loop

[fierce moth]

when are ads coming thats the length of a movie /j

[rustic crane]

I actually once found an ad of an entire fucking netflix movie

[neon mesa]

as bad as youtube is
not as bad as cable TV making you watch ads that are half the run time
and you still pay 60 a month for it

[rustic crane]

1.33 hours

[neon mesa]

glad cable TV died out

[edgy sun]

Double unskipable. You try to skip once but double fail to do so. The ad begins to double play. Fml

[desert ivy]

My opinion is that running a video service is very expensive. Like if you intend to watch one or two videos a day ads wouldn't bother you. It's only when you use YouTube as your main source of entertainment where being a free user it's painful and annoying

[fierce moth]

but the replacement aint much better

it used to be good but not anymore

[neon mesa]

i'd take the current streaming space mess over cable TV

[opal sparrow]

[desert ivy]

Yep. It's a million times better now.

[calm swan]

no like on ios its literally 2x 10 second unskippable, same with windows

[edgy sun]

Nah where I am theres actually no more analog antenna tv. I miss it because it was like 10 free channels. All you had to do was screw antenna into same coax cable plug

[neon mesa]

youtube premium is easily one of the most reasonable and best purchase around and still it isn't enough as people are too used to free content

[fierce moth]

steams entire existance is to provide a better service than what the pirates were offering, yet streaming companys cant do the same

[neon mesa]

you get youtube premium and youtube music on youtube premium package
easily way better than things like spotify premium

[desert ivy]

Also Cable TV used to be heavily compressed 720p with overlays. Soo bad

[neon mesa]

even worse, interlaced

[edgy sun]

I mean now everything costs money. Tbh toward the end we even had air hd channels along w their old ntsc

[desert ivy]

Aaah true. Forgot about that.

[fierce moth]

this, and if you have a family subscription you can have like 6 people with one sub

[neon mesa]

they still exist on my place, you just need a Analog digital converter box and you get the free local channels

[calm swan]

murica has like 30 different streaming subscriptions which makes MORE people want to pirate stuff

[neon mesa]

or even not need the box as a lot of TV already has digital analog converters

[fierce moth]

this

[edgy sun]

Nope. Literally free to air stations were 1080i. Not sure bout p

[desert ivy]

There's also 30 times the amount of series coming out. So 🤷🏽

[fierce moth]

but most of them are subpar at best

[calm swan]

eh it used to be just netflix and hulu but then disney started the whole "every company for themselves" thing w/ disney+

[neon mesa]

it's a dilemma between monopoly and convenience

it sucks having many streaming services but monopoly is also bad

[edgy sun]

Dont smart tvs do that these days? I remember the 720 late '00s plasma did. You just need tv that can tune the hd channels too. Yeah theyre digital though.

[neon mesa]

already mentioned it

[desert ivy]

Also that's a very lame excuse. You don't have to subscribe to anything. You can subscribe, cancel immediately and access thousands of hour of content and then move to another different library.

[calm swan]

best streaming service deal is ironically the disney bundle tho, $15 for espn+, disney+, and hulu which is a great deal

[neon mesa]

pirating is ironically more convenient than legit nowadays
the downside is shitty quality and depending on the site, shitty buffering

[desert ivy]

I used to watch everything that came out on TV back in my cable tv torrent days. Now? I can't finish one streaming service. Let alone all

[unreal crescent]

i was able to run shaders on my 2015 dell laptop

[neon mesa]

though my biggest problem with streaming services and other things similar isn't the over saturation of the market
but geo blocking
bitch if you don't want my MONEY then i'll pirate it

[fierce moth]

[edgy sun]

Yes love monopoly when one satellite tv provider exists in socialist competition-free vacuum. Then better and cheaper satellite provider comes along. But why improve or innovate. Why compete at all. You know like federal court judge and the prime minister nephew idk lol.

[lucid echo]

All the streaming services should come together to provide all their content on separate channels at fixed times with ~20mins of ads per hour.
We could call it - Cable Television

[neon mesa]

i wanted to watch houseMD the other day but guess what
on both play movies and peacock it's geoblocked
well pirate realm i go

[edgy sun]

Im sure theyll find something to charge em with. All for the right price. Luckily you have all the money saved from jacking prices lmao

[desert ivy]

The only viable alternatives to me are torrents or Usenet. And they are not IMO easier. I have Plex + Usenet + Radarr + Sonarr for auto downloading but still, it isn't easier than Netflix.

[lucid echo]

RIP RARBG

[desert ivy]

That's when I pirate too this days.

[neon mesa]

i just watch directly on the site lol

[spice nacelle]

is g2a a trusted place to buy a windows key?

[neon mesa]

i didn't say anything about locally hosting it

[lucid echo]

https://medium.com/wireless-bidet/how-to-activate-windows-10-using-command-prompt-9c5d248f3420

[edgy sun]

DCC.

[spice nacelle]

wtf

[calm swan]

i know a few decent ones but yes most are shitty

[lucid echo]

I've done it a few dozen times, so have many others here.

[spice nacelle]

are you sure?

[neon mesa]

i don't know if this even falls under the piracy rule sending that link

[spice nacelle]

I don't wanna break my PC lmao

[lucid echo]

Absolutely certain. It's how OEMs activate their systems

[spice nacelle]

gotcha thanks

[fierce moth]

pirating games isnt really required for me as i can get them cheaply on steam, retro games tho is a different story

[edgy sun]

Wireless bidet lmfao. I trust this tech news source. Just as much as i trust wireless juicer that doesnt squeeze fruit

[spice nacelle]

I'll pirate without mercy lol

[neon mesa]

most of my games are legitimately purchased
and i love the convenience compared to pirating it

[fierce moth]

like, nintendo if you dont me to pirate your games give me access to them for a paid fee

and is not subscription based

[neon mesa]

i used to pirate them when i'm younger since no money
but now money isn't an issue

[desert ivy]

There are rules about helping people circumvent DRM on LTT.

[spice nacelle]

should I get pro or home? @lucid echo

[neon mesa]

nintendo is the dumbest mofo ever

[lucid echo]

No reason to get Home

[edgy sun]

Windows it doesnt matter. I mean you can download free off Microsoft legit. Nothing you do in cmd will actually activate it properly

[spice nacelle]

pro it is then

[edgy sun]

Youre still using unlicensed

[neon mesa]

"you can't pirate our old games we don't even sell anymore, but we also won't provide you those games"

[fierce moth]

this

its either pirate the games or buy it from a sketchy reseller

[edgy sun]

Well honestly you bought the game back then? If you download it today, might fly. The nocd isnt really where the real pirating happens

[neon mesa]

both of which don't give/take money away from nintendo

since they don't even fricking sell it anymore

[fierce moth]

im talking about old consoles

[desert ivy]

I use some mental gymnastics to allow me to pirate Switch games in my console. Like I've bought so many bad games I can't return that I think I'm entitled to free ones. It's not really true, but it's how I choose to see it. Also I already bought this game in a past console, I'm not going to buy it again.

[neon mesa]

like how steam say it
to fight piracy, give better service than the pirate provide

steam ftw

their refund policy is basically free trial

[calm swan]

^^

[desert ivy]

That helps reduce it but in the end there's people that are going to pirate no matter what.

[neon mesa]

those people won't buy it no matter what you do anyway

[fierce moth]

but thats the main thing, its to reduce it

piracy was rampant before steam came along

[neon mesa]

companies forgot one of the options
that if they can't pirate they just won't consume the content

so either way you're not getting the money from the hardcore pirates

[spice nacelle]

what does this mean? "Set key management machine address. Very Important Step!!!"

[neon mesa]

steam's approach is the best approach
provide better service than the pirates

[edgy sun]

Oh no. PS2 and stuff read special cdrom and dvds only they had available blank. They intentionally wobbled tracks or something a specific way. They read on extra secret physical layer lol

[neon mesa]

oh and regional pricing is also very very important in combatting piracy

[lucid echo]

Just move onto next step, that's what it's referring to

[desert ivy]

I agree. But then you see so many people saying I pirate it because it's a bad service, and is like no. As if using a torrent, or some shitty website with bad quality was easier than just pressing play in Netflix

[spice nacelle]

oh gotcha, thanks

[edgy sun]

But idk you could mod your ps2. Idk if anything can stop you?

[spice nacelle]

nvm I got access denied

didn't work

[edgy sun]

But guy selling modded ps2 is pirate

[lucid echo]

skill issue

[fierce moth]

you can softmod the ps2, but you cant bypass the mechacon (the security processor on the ps2)

[neon mesa]

i just use sketchy kms to activate my windows
i live on the edge 💀

[fierce moth]

so that means no burnt disks

[spice nacelle]

crying

[lucid echo]

read the instructions better

[spice nacelle]

I did exactly as it showed in the image

says I need elivated privileges

[edgy sun]

Yeah now they found a way to use video player right? Its easy as playing crafted file

[desert ivy]

I don't mind the rules but your inability to Google stuff is irritating to me.

[lucid echo]

pictures are not the same as reading, it's pretty obvious what step you missed

[fierce moth]

yeah but that method cant play retail ps1 games tho

[spice nacelle]

I didn't miss any of them though?

[lucid echo]

I wonder what mode your terminal has to be in for elevated privileges..... Some way to 'administrate' your computer's settings

[lucid echo]

You absolutely did

[desert ivy]

Google this FFS. How do I get elevated privileges 🤦🏾

[edgy sun]

Right yeah i remember the woes. My zero day mod method didnt play copied ps1 and sometimes didnt even play copied ps2 lol

[spice nacelle]

oh

guys I regret to inform you that I am an idiot

[edgy sun]

It was like rng success rate burned games read as ps2 format lmfao

[spice nacelle]

apology video coming tomorrow god damnit lmfao

[desert ivy]

You better have a goddamn Ukulele

[spice nacelle]

I'll even do an interpretive dance if you want

[dusty rune]

interpretation dance while playing an ukulele

[edgy sun]

group needs to be NT Service\TrustedInstaller

[lucid echo]

twas a joke, they didn't open command prompt as Admin

[edgy sun]

User needs to be member of Guest or Power Usurper

[spice nacelle]

it didn't work again wtf

[spice nacelle]

yeah it hit me like a train when you said that lmfao

[desert ivy]

It's a reference to another YouTuber that got cancelled for some dumb reason.

[edgy sun]

Windows settings administrates you

[spice nacelle]

I know lol, so was mine

[desert ivy]

Just buy the g2a key

[spice nacelle]

yeah I think I'ma just do that

[edgy sun]

Is that actual administrationing though? You can go one step further and run as system

[vital gust]

I am become death

destroyer of worlds

[edgy sun]

Literally windows admins you. Even xbox game save service n shtuff runs as system lmfao

[lucid echo]

For what they're doing, you just need the basic Admin CMD

[edgy sun]

Yeah Im kidding actually forgot to mention! Lol

[sick coral]

just bought my floatplane sub for the ltx show

[edgy sun]

Honestly i never did really get anything out of it when i tried. Psexec method didnt work because i had to auth w password. Then I figured out some way

Task manager said cmd running as system but i literally didnt see difference

Was trying to set priority or affinity on lsass

Then got mad and tried end task. Still denied

[edgy sun]

You need to be more specific. Theres literally a tool on github that does it automatically for you. But its still pirating

[fierce moth]

im thinking of upgrading to win11 on my "unsupported pc"

[edgy sun]

Also windows dedender will pick it up immediately as PUP

[fierce moth]

and just hiding the shaming

[edgy sun]

Lol imagine being ashamed of not upgrading to 11

[indigo plume]

Sent my gpu back to xfx to be looked at

[edgy sun]

I just wish latest dev branch of WSL2 worked on 1903

That installer on github says 2004+ maybe theres a way though...

[hollow junco]

which one? i've had xfx and im looking to get another one

[edgy sun]

Currwnt Win 10 has x server if you update wsl2. You can run graphical apps sometimes. Then again other x servers been available and I did it way before

[indigo plume]

7900xt

[edgy sun]

Does it still have bulldog with spikes on box?

[indigo plume]

Has some sort of heating issue think it needs to be repasted

Cuz hot spot temp is like 40 degree higher than edge temp

[edgy sun]

Hot spot temp is maximal value read between all measurements

[iron hatch]

is there any professional for instagram? i have lots of questions regarding monetization that i dont understand. Ill greatly appreacite someone to help me

[lucid echo]

I kinda wish big silicon never started reporting hotspot temps, or made it more obfuscated/disclaimer'd
So many folks come in here thinking their GPU junction temp is the average temp and freak out about normal temps

[sick coral]

HOLY SHIT I HAVE IMAGE PERMS

[slate agate]

I mean it can show you if the cooler isn't mounted correctly

[edgy sun]

Lol good luck reaching a real person support

[iron hatch]

im trying

[lucid echo]

I'm not saying it's totally useless info, it can be very valuable. But as a regular in #1027757333117415424, more often than not, it's just very misunderstood

[edgy sun]

Well on gpu youd be better off sending to oem and letting them worry lol.

[lucid echo]

My junction temp is 101º is my gpu gonna explode???? /s

[edgy sun]

They used it for calculating other temps apparently. 10C margin just to be safe lol

Can you even take off case of GPU w/o voiding warranty usually?

I remember a sticker at some point. I didnt care ofc because it was old and glitchy

[polar fern]

When Amazon refunds you unexpectedly.

[edgy sun]

Explains where the refunds go for people supposed to get lmao

[polar fern]

🤣

Cat.

[edgy sun]

I want lynx. Not catis. But both tbh only if i have barn

Cats pee until maybe growing out of it like 10 years ... or you gotta spay/neuter them 😦

Or barn. Thats a rl solution now. Then again they have like 1/6 life expectancy

[edgy sun]

Did you neuter yours? I was actually living w parents and they did it. Have old af cat. Now i wish he made mini sammy's. Awesomest cat

I didnt exactly protest until now though honestly. There was piss on the ceilings somehow. Plus hed run away and never come back apparently. Anyways yeah i love pet but im conflicted about ever getting one 😢

[polar fern]

Yes. It’s standard for most rescues/shelters to reduce strays

Decided to go with an asrock B550 taichi AM4 board instead of the proart. Just can’t reconcile the lack of Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, plus the taichi has a bunch of audio stuff as well as two video display outs

[fierce moth]

the ole spray and pray guns

steamvr screenshots suck lol

[gilded forge]

you'd have better luck digging through the TOS or something rather than reaching a human in support. I still think monetizing anything on Instagram, twitter, facebook...is weird and stupid

[gilded forge]

making screenshots in any VR sucks

[steep girder]

Fb and insta you literally cant reach support at all if you get banned and appeal gets denied. Ofc theres like a week or some sht to appeal which means you can log in perma'd. Noice

[gilded forge]

my bank decides to decline whatever the fuck they want. it's almost random bit if I buy more than like 3 items within an hour it flags it as potential fraud for some reason

[steep girder]

I actually ended up reaching them from my fb account lmfao. Also why are they separate. Why are they two services tbh lol

It's like a separate service for just the pics and videos in feed format but you cant even really post on others' pretty sure

You buy similar social network. Dont merge. What. I guess ultimately they must have at least marketing data merging in the backend. What you as social media company truly care about lol

[gilded forge]

because Instagram isn't Facebook's creation. they acquired Instagram years ago and barely anyone remembers that, but they just kept it separate. also probably for the better. ain't no way in hell I'm installing Facebook. it asks way too many permissions for me to feel comfortable. Instagram wants like 3, Facebook needs like 20.

[steep girder]

Actually you can pos5 on others

[tawdry escarp]

wow i joined on october 8 2018
bye guys

[steep girder]

Honestly facebook has lite versions of apps or on browser. Ultimately the only real use of the apps is messenger

[dull granite]

why

[neon mesa]

should have went with the one without wifi and bluetooth and then add adapters

on board wifi is usually shitter than pcie ones

[steep girder]

I remember when they did it I got mad: popup with y/n import contacts and sms messages

I pressed yes by mistake but the allow permissions to call logs and sms saved me haha

[gilded forge]

yeah but then again, I have like no use for Facebook. local news? Google News. internet news? Twitter and commentary channels. tech news? wan show and techlinked.

[neon mesa]

i use facebook unironically

mostly for PC and VR groups

a good way to interact with local communities rather than international ones

[steep girder]

No I mean the app itself makes sense for messenger because for ease of use. It's a ux thing. Tbh they actually forced people to use app

[low rain]

My hands have never hurt this bad holy shit

It’s so bad

[gilded forge]

I suppose, I have messenger as standalone bc my mother and family members are too stubborn to move to Signal.

[steep girder]

The messenger I can only get to on mobile browser with desktop mode enabled. Facebook itself is pretty bad android browser. Like no search bar sometimes

[steep girder]

Well fb messenger app also installs the background service pretty sure

Idk maybe fb messenger lite version won't. If your phone came with fb preinstalled idk. If you can disable package, maybe service wont run

[polar fern]

@neon mesa not worth the extra expense.

[steep girder]

But ultimately its not possible to delete unless you get root somehow

[polar fern]

Fakebook

[steep girder]

Fakeblock. It's real.

[neon mesa]

how much for proart and taichi

[polar fern]

Suckertvrd’s privacy siphon

Proart is like $240, taichi is like $190

[neon mesa]

ah then it's fine

i thought the wifi one is more expensive

[fierce moth]

gotta love rufus

[neon mesa]

the fact that windows 11 need more than those 3 requirements

[polar fern]

Yeah having the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth on top of the extra cost not justifiable

[neon mesa]

like bitch

though my installation is bypassed anyway lel

[fierce moth]

fr, just cause my cpu is "unsupported" doesnt mean it cant run windows 11 just fine

i literally ran it on a vm back when i was maining arch

[fierce moth]

dont u get a watermark?

[ebon phoenix]

first time I "hacked" an iso image and it worked, first thing I said was "fuck you, Microsoft"

[neon mesa]

what watermark

[fierce moth]

the "your pc is shit" one

[ebon phoenix]

They only put on a watermark if you don't activate it

[neon mesa]

i never get any

[fierce moth]

or something like that

[steep girder]

Likely could get it running one way or another. Old cpus youre missing a lot on win 10 already

[neon mesa]

my windows 11 on my "unsupported" pc is 100% identical to my laptop's "supported" one

[steep girder]

Like app virtualization and whatnot

[neon mesa]

my 2200G has everything needed

[fierce moth]

unfortuantly i gotta nuke ventoy to get these custom options

[steep girder]

Search in start system info

See how much is disabled or not supported

[ebon phoenix]

Ran it on many "unsupported" systems and have seen no difference. Might it be a little slow since it's older hardware? Sure. Though, Windows 10 had the same problems.

[fierce moth]

"managed" huh

[fierce moth]

i am the fucking administrator

[neon mesa]

nothing is unsupported

[steep girder]

It could but ultimately most of the lagging would be due to hw being older lol

[ebon phoenix]

yeah

[neon mesa]

VBS i disabled manually due to it interfering with some stuff

[steep girder]

Dont forget each new win as a rule of thumb must immediately waste the perf overhead from new gen upgrade

[fierce moth]

the rule of two

lol, sorry star wars nerd here

[neon mesa]

the perf between win11 and win10 is basically identical

[steep girder]

I dont remember but i think my kernel dma is also off

Says unsupported. Wtf does it require

[neon mesa]

it used to be on, i disabled it manually

so does virtualization based security

[steep girder]

Oh... driver reasons?

[neon mesa]

messing with some software that needs deep system access

[steep girder]

I mean careful if youre relying on win defender its written to optimally use hw virtualization. Like sandboxing and such. Then again, is that really the better way

Honestly why are they using intel x86 hw features for security

[neon mesa]

VBS also hurt performance from what i read so off you go

[polar fern]

Oh man. Why is tuna & apple juice so yummy

[steep girder]

I guess from older hw? Im on covfe lake and i dont really notice much. I did enable intel sgx extensions or whatever

[polar fern]

Covfefe lake?

[steep girder]

So an extra service autoinstalled. I think its part of intel oem chipset driver from update

[steep girder]

The one after kabibi lake

[patent patrol]

Just found a kitten inside of a trash can

What is with people : (

[steep girder]

But if anybody knows answer: should intel sgx service on win attempt to establish connection outbound on occasion?

If I remember correctly it was 80 and/or 443 tcp to some cdn. Akamai or some crap

And something else which is legit part of win (sig verified apparently) occasionally attempts to connect https to some googleusercontent

Is microsoft supposed to get stuff from there? User content with like 40 level domains all number sounds sketch. It's actual google pretty sure but sounds like drive or something else on personal acc?

[steep girder]

😾

[wheat monolith]

80 would be sketch, 443 is TLS, secure web traffic so is expected

[steep girder]

Yeah might have been just https

[wheat monolith]

It’s likely just checking for updates.

[steep girder]

80 sometimes alongside 443 I add rule just in case. Maybe before you can get 80 then it redirects to 443. Those you probably gotta allow both

[sharp bobcat]

I have returned

[steep girder]

That program connects 80 first lmao. But I thought that was proper way no?

[sharp bobcat]

what in the goddamn

[steep girder]

Actually no modern firefox might assume https:// in protocol

The port it changes to 80 or 443 depending on http or https

But honestly every site should have redirect to to https 443

Id bet ssl only mode is the more broken one. I still see odd plaintext site. A lot of times it's ok because I'm not saving any executable files or posting secret information

[fierce moth]

yo, i heard you like drum mags, so i put a drum mag inside of a drum mag

[steep girder]

If site is just text content and images, honestly dont rewrite either one. I actually get pissed off in rare instance where im running archaic browser and literally cant connect to anybody

The ironic part is that it was like xp and i needed to download an actual browser

ie6 you feel the pain of most sites redirecting you to connection errors

[steep girder]

So you can chamber while you chamber

Wtf is that like 7.62x99999

[fierce moth]

its 5.45×39mm but i have no idea how many rounds are in the thing

[steep girder]

Idk feels like jammin time

[inland spindle]

Guys what do yall think about intels new arc gpus?

[neon mesa]

they're old enough to not be called new at this point

but right now it struggles against new gen

which is fine considering the card releases a while ago

[dusty rune]

i have a funny video about that

[inland spindle]

Did they suddenly start burning? 😅

[dusty rune]

the drivers of 1 person in this server did

[inland spindle]

Oof

I almost burned my cpu socket once by putting an I5-2400 on the motherboard with the gtx 550 ti, both power hungry i think

[dusty rune]

i made an edit about everytime they had an issue and added circus music over it

[sharp bobcat]

[inland spindle]

JESUS

Literally can't imagine one soldier using this big ass magazine

[sharp bobcat]

big PP19

wait it is PP19 right

[inland spindle]

Yeah

[inland spindle]

Nice

[steep girder]

Idk what do you think the one gpu running games only ever tested and optimized on geforce and radeon mostly?

[pulsar violet]

So what your telling me is that I can design a background set in unreal engine 5 and green screen myself in to make it seem like I’m in a totally different set?

[inland spindle]

Idk i kinda had high hopes for it, intel to be a competitor in the gpu market but it seems to me that it just doesn't hit that well like nvidia and radeon gpus

[steep girder]

I wasnt sure but a quick glance at what people are complaining about on reddit and it's def looking worse than either amd or nvidia so far in terms of perf and functionality in AAA games. But that's exactly what i'd expected

[inland spindle]

Definetly don't want a next-gen version of the HORRENDOUS intel hd graphics

[steep girder]

Right a lot of it is market. It's kinda hard to get in on the action against nvidia and amd. I wouldnt mind seeing intel.

[neon mesa]

intel arc is nowhere near the same as their integrated ones

the A750 performs really good at $250

[inland spindle]

Joking about that one but still i hope that they wont release gpus that are all slow and no go

[neon mesa]

though the RX 7600 is giving it a run for its money

but again, the A750 is last gen

[steep girder]

It's a common misconception that it's as simple as graphics card makes game run better. A lot of it is also game dev makes gpu run game better so that game run better on gpu

[neon mesa]

you might be able to get A750 at $200 which would make it a good deal

the A750 also still have room for improvement as the drivers get more mature

[inland spindle]

Plus they have been dominating on the gpu market since their beginning so... Yeah Intel suddenly joined so we will see how will it fare against them in the long run.

[steep girder]

GPUs have so many higher level apis with complicated functions. You're usually stuck with differences depending on card and gen I guess. On the inside, both amd and intel are completely different cpus. GPU-wise lol

[inland spindle]

Yeah it's nice to see Intel. I would like to see Nvidia make a cpu.

[steep girder]

Yeah that's the whole thing. Rn it looks like AMD overtook nvidya. Honestly better time to join in would have been while they were at peak competition

That way neither is dominating and you can get in on the action. Honestly best time could have been covid lmfao. When 3090 was 33x retail price and sold out

[inland spindle]

At the end of the day they are just gpus, its nice to see a lot of options we the customers have on the shelf.

[inland spindle]

That time miners stole all the gpus i think

[steep girder]

But idk gpu I feel it's noticeably affected by just optimization. I remember back when nvidia was on top for AAA games, I tripped out at times looking at same game but AMD. Ati actually back then fck me I got used to saying AMD

[inland spindle]

Now the chinese or some government demand giving the gpus back

[steep girder]

It's not just perf. It could be quality and (ideally mitigated all) compat. Like games could crash just from nvidia vs amd. Same happened with cpus when cyberpunk came out. AMD people were crashing out because they compiled the game with intel avx instructions or whatever theyre called

[inland spindle]

It was the game developers fault of course

[steep girder]

Something along the lines of multiple data ops but like 768bit lol. Jk would make sense 512 or 1024 maybe. I literally have no clue what goes on down there. But amd didnt support those instructions

[inland spindle]

Literally the game was announced like back in 2012 i think

[full fossil]

Helo

[inland spindle]

Hi

[fierce moth]

now picture me doing this to 30 of them while playing coconut mall in the backgrounnd, and the spears are throwable

[steep girder]

Right maybe they didnt even know about it either if compiler flag had to be added to disable it. Meh doesnt sound like something g++ or gcc would have on by default if they compiled mingw cross plat lol

[fierce moth]

am i evil for enjoying this, idk but it feels good

[steep girder]

Idk even what engine was written on. Like multiple data optimization sounds managed maybe

Matrix<4,4> myCSHaeperpeMatrix = what::did

But yeah tbh for all you know it made it hella better. Game needed every fps they could find. The other way to look at it is why can you have windows load bytecode with instructions that arent supported if that's how it happened.

Tbh ive seen instruction not supported before.

[inland spindle]

Yeah, anyway is the 4gb model of the gt 1030 any good for bugdet gaming?

[dusty rune]

5600g prob better

[gilded forge]

well if you don't have a dedicated GPU, then getting one would certainly make games..well, run.

[inland spindle]

I cant even buy an old gpu without paying an obscene amount of money for it plus shipping

[fossil frost]

you can get an rx480 for about £90 on ebay now

you can get a new 6600 for £200 or less

[inland spindle]

I have a special app like Ebay in Serbia

[dusty rune]

olx?

[steep girder]

Well yeah but again like intel hd's. What used to lag more than dedicated nvidia or ati? I remember skylake i5 k one specifically stuttered in source when it loaded texture pretty sure. Thats what it seemed like

[tribal gale]

I was saving to get an 6700XT for 200 dollars...

[inland spindle]

Btw some tech store in my city is offering the geforce 210 like how old is that gpu

[steep girder]

Honestly maybe it was when model showed up in view first time idk. But like the vram was reserved chunk of cpu ram I remember

[dusty rune]

wildly old

[fossil frost]

2009, so... old as fuck

[dusty rune]

bottom of the barrel 2009 gpu

[gilded forge]

probably great if you have like an old XP machine or something

[steep girder]

So the ihd driver on glgentextues and teximage whatever when you load it... it ends up in same same stick maybe if its shared. Driver 'loads' texture from ram to ram.

[inland spindle]

1gb model, 5500 rsd, so roughly 55 usd i think.

[steep girder]

But it's also not optimized for accessing and using as 2d bitmap idk. Probably like bind texture hurt it more.

[inland spindle]

Nah i use some pc that i souped up components from another old one

Geez my whole pc is souped up

[steep girder]

Whatever idk. All I know is it had a tiny bit of mempry one way or another

Because passthru

[inland spindle]

Intel Celeron G1620 @ 2.7 GHz
MSI Gtx 550 Ti 1gb
4gb 1333 mhz ddr3 ram
120gb sata ssd
1tb hdd seagate barracuda @ 7200 rpm
Windows 10 Pro

500W PSU

The cpu only isn't obsolete i think

[steep girder]

Should be windows 7. Bitness idk these days

[inland spindle]

If i swapped the celeron for an I5-2400 then the pc would nuke itself

[steep girder]

32 bit is smaller binaries and mem usage but nowadays you have more crap that isnt even avail 32bit id wager

[inland spindle]

Aren't 32 bit systems obsolete now?

[steep girder]

No not at all. In fact I still see run 16-bit software in start search lol. Teasing me. It wont work because 64 bit nt is 64 bit

And x86 64 switches between 32 and 64 addressing

16 bit if it can still run on metal, it can only do from 32 mode apparently.

Also the way the os kernel was written but dosbox works for a lot of purposes too lol

Apparently you might still be able to find semi-legal exact build of nt 4.0 one that can run in 64 bits version. It's based on leaked sources

I couldnt find it after giving it a brief try. Again though dosbox maybe is better if it suffices

Ohhh wait nope windows had 16bit apps which didnt run in dos mode. Dang.

Usually an installer too on cd. Software itself is 32 bit.

🥖

[slim moon]

https://ibb.co/SnyCNSM

Is this legit? I9 for 400 ?

[fossil frost]

probably not no

[slim moon]

If it’s not

I can just return it no

[fossil frost]

you can try, but amazon may accuse you of being the one who is scamming them

[gilded forge]

if they were obsolete, MS wouldn't still be offering 32bit options

[fossil frost]

not at all true... 32bit can be obsolete, and have microsoft still offer backwards compatability or... just be lazy and not be arsed to reewrite an enormous codebase

[edgy sun]

But srsly they did already stop distributing 10 32 bit. Then again, win 7 altogether is no longer supported

And yet its ideal for that pc if you wany windoz

Your issue is 4gb mostly. Windows 10 69h2 uses close to half of that I thinm

[desert ivy]

Isn't Win11 64bit only?

[edgy sun]

Its not even bitness. It's mostly services and garb

[full fossil]

I'm currently on 420h2 which requires 32gb of ram

[edgy sun]

Exactly. I dont think they got the memo that processing power stopped doubling like it did every few years

[gilded forge]

theyvr stopped selling licenses for windows 10 at all

[edgy sun]

Tbh ram. I mean that stopped too. I went like sub-1gb to 4 in 8 years. Now im just staying on 16. It's only a matter of time.. microsoft catching back up 😨

[edgy sun]

If thats true even with enterprise being an exception...

Time to go Linux I guess. It's happened

[desert ivy]

Probably something niche like enterprise use. 32bit is very much obsolete in the consumer market.

[edgy sun]

Meh. What I still havent seen w my own eyes is an arm64 version running lol

Last ive seen non intel win was pocket pc. And blackberry I guess

Thats 9x tho actually

[full fossil]

Hey guys

What is the possibility of meeting linus within Vancouver?

[polar fern]

zero

[pulsar shore]

if you go to his house 100%

[full fossil]

Ya sure

[edgy sun]

Enterprise always gets longest support at least

[polar fern]

he doesnt live in Vancouver.

for one, and secondly, he mostly stays home

[full fossil]

I do math

[pulsar shore]

which makes my previous sentence even more correct

[full fossil]

3.7993921e-7% chance of me meeting him

[fossil frost]

also, people in general, are not very welcoming of unknown internet stalkers

[full fossil]

• we need to add in other factors such as other people from the world

No just as speculation

[polar fern]

the percentage is below 1

[full fossil]

Like just for the purpose of this an avid ltt fan is on the streets of Vancouver what is the possibility of meeting linus

[frozen turret]

aprox. <0.0000000000000001% plus minus a few more factors

[fossil frost]

about the same as meeting him in london, or new york, or LA... or any other major city he does not live in

[polar fern]

like i said, less than one percent

[full fossil]

Linus lives in Vancouver he doesn't just private jet to LMG from around the world

[desert ivy]

IMO the issue on why it's called obsolete isn't that old stuff will stop working Windows is excellent at that but that you won't get anything new with a 32bit system.

[polar fern]

no he does not

[full fossil]

I'm saying the general area of Vancouver

[pulsar shore]

hey guys what are the odds of meeting Linus, like in general

[polar fern]

general area is not an area

[pulsar shore]

no i think its a rank

[full fossil]

The area where he is most likely to live in

[desert ivy]

Big if you go to LTX I suppose. More if you pay for Whale access

[polar fern]

sigh

[full fossil]

I think you all didn't pay enough attention in school...

[fossil frost]

ill make it simple, we dont know where he lives, we are not gonna help you with your stalking of some youtuber

[polar fern]

who me?

[full fossil]

I'm not going to stalk him!

Lol

[polar fern]

the chances are too low to even bother thinking about

[fossil frost]

thats exactly what a stalker, who has just asked for information on how to stalk somebody, would say

[full fossil]

That wasn't even my question

[desert ivy]

He just asked about the city relax

[full fossil]

I said what's the possibility of meeting linus not where linus is

[fossil frost]

we answered your question, several times, and you carried on

[full fossil]

That's because some of you didn't understand the concept I was trying to make out

[fossil frost]

we understand the concept, we just dont care, because if you want us to work it out mathematically, or just jump right to the answer, the answer is going to be the same, practically zero

if you want to calculate the possibility of meeting any given person in any given location, for your homework or something like that, matt parker did those sorts of calculations on an episode of his podcast "a problem squared", i cant remember the episode though, but it was somewhat recent

[full fossil]

But fine ignore everything

Hey guys

Im having an issue with a game im playing, idk if its related to my internet or my laptop

[fading radish]

I’m in need of tech tips

[pulsar shore]

good conversation starter

[pulsar shore]

shoot

[fading radish]

U familiar with hp prebuilts?

[pulsar shore]

as much as i am with any other pc

[fossil frost]

just ask the question rather than dancing around it

[fading radish]

Oh… ok well idk how that is but I made a post in build a pc thing do u wanna check it out

Oh hmm

Im using an asus laptop and windows 11 sucks

Cant even find the stuff i normally know about

Wish i could upgrade in reverse :<

[fossil frost]

windows 11 doesnt suck, the only useability problem with win11 is people who refuse to admit that they are incapable of adapting to slight change

[pulsar shore]

i answered your post btw

[pulsar shore]

the slight change in this case is that they made it bad as a joke

[fossil frost]

nah, its just that people, in general, bitch about everything and anything that there is to bitch about, because they use it in place of an actual personality

[gilded forge]

well home and pro is supported until oct 2025

Hello

[pulsar shore]

hi

[low rain]

I wanna try the Amazon basics cpu cooler 😭😭😭

[pulsar shore]

but why?

[fossil frost]

attention seeking probably

[low rain]

I don’t know 😭😭😭

[pulsar shore]

fair enough

[stable yarrow]

just a question which one is better, r9 7950X or th 3990x ? (in terms of performance, all cores)

[dusky jacinth]

7950X

Wait, actually, I take that back...

I almost forgot my head for a sec with how crazy Threadrippers are all core.

3990X all core is the more powerful cpu in most cases.

[manic torrent]

In reality though, for most use cases, mosts of the time, the 7950X is "better"

[wind pulsar]

In multithreaded applications no shit, it's a 64 core

[manic torrent]

If you need that much local compute, you're doing specialised stuff.

[wind pulsar]

All core uses obviously the 3990X, but the 7950X is a much better all rounder

[manic torrent]

applications 🙂

[full fossil]

Helo

[wind pulsar]

I will rebel and say 'uses' instead

[manic torrent]

much better - also less confusing. Particularly because it's applications as a verb, when you might expect it to be a noun.

[manic torrent]

Good morning

[full fossil]

It's 6:33pm for me lmao. I'm tired tho.

[median idol]

19:34 (7:34pm) for me

[manic torrent]

0933 here, I'm just enjoying a coffee and some breakfast

Before my stupid "therapy" for my stupid "mental health"

[dusky jacinth]

Well yeah and that's what he asked.

[wind pulsar]

08:37AM for me

[manic torrent]

yes, but most people ask absolutely the wrong question. They also used the superlative 'better' which is a subjective measure.

[dusky jacinth]

Of course.

[median idol]

02:38 am in the old country

[manic torrent]

I changed hitman to render at 20% more resolution and downscale.... Oh boy does it look better

[fierce moth]

damn, not bad vr aiming

5avg, 150 points

[median idol]

Has anyone tried sleeping in VR?

[fierce moth]

ive heard of people trying it

but it wouldn't work well for me, as my headset is wired

[edgy moss]

I have a crazy idea that might just work. Do you guys think that you could run an external GPU off of a thunderbolt to m.2 adapter?

[fierce moth]

why would you?

the first main issue would be power

then the second issue would be the lack of lanes (or just the slot itself)

[edgy moss]

m.2 is 4x pcie 4.0 lanes, and i want to DIY an external gpu enclosure

[fierce moth]

theres still a power issue you need to resolve

and its not even certain that the slot itself can take it

[edgy moss]

yeah i could do that

[fierce moth]

also theres the fact that my headband is shit

[median idol]

It's something I've been looking into since sleep for me has always been non-existent (even as a baby) but it's been getting really bad lately. It sounded like something that could at least help calm/relax the nerves a bit

[edgy moss]

that sounds like a bad idea lol

[fierce moth]

as the back of it is just hard plastic for the adjustment nob

[fierce moth]

maybe with a quest 2

[manic torrent]

You know what the key thing is about sleeping? Your eyes are closed.

[median idol]

That's the thing LMAO. Even when I do I can barely get past a couple hours, even when I'm on a cocktail of meds or sleeping pills

And yes even with all electronics not present

[fierce moth]

i found this

and some of the comments are funny

time to upgrade

[vital lintel]

Nice

[manic torrent]

you can, and people have. It's the same shit, but honestly it's going to cost you just as much if not more and be janky as fuck

[edgy moss]

true

[manic torrent]

I have two egpu enclosures. They are cheap AF second hand.

[edgy moss]

would be a fun project

"fun"

[manic torrent]

ehhhh, I don't think so, you're just plugging stuff into each other in a dodgy way

[edgy moss]

well i would build an enclosure

[manic torrent]

and then you'd have to sort out a power supply for the pcie connector(s)

[edgy moss]

shrimple

flex atx psu

[manic torrent]

yeah, and here's me who bought a $150 AUD enclosure with everything including 400W flexATX PSU and can spend project time on problems that AREN'T solved.

[fierce moth]

fuck you microsoft "unsupported pc" my ass

[manic torrent]

It was still a project 🙂

[edgy moss]

where dude? I can only find them for 300 or above

[manic torrent]

gumtree, FB marketplace. forums.

The 150 one was a bargain, the other I think I paid 300 for

[edgy moss]

i really just like working on stuff

[manic torrent]

The thing is, it's a) a case. b) a power supply and c) a motherboard and d) often a power supply for your laptop too. It's an expensive item

I like working on stuff too, I just don't like working on things that are janky that are unlikely to be any cheaper than doing it nicely, and don't add any functionality.

[edgy moss]

I mean its hypothetically as simple as plugging it in and turning it on

[plain aurora]

W or L https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P7zgY9

[edgy moss]

W

[manic torrent]

it's absolutely that simple

[edgy moss]

hahaha it always is at first

[ionic abyss]

oh dear lord played gollum

[edgy moss]

I was debating either making an external enclosure for a gpu to plug into my laptop or making a pc case

[ionic abyss]

im playing as something that looks nothing like gollum

id get a refund but i paid next to nothing for this

[edgy moss]

LMAO

[manic torrent]

the 6600 isn't amazing, but goddamn it's cheap.

[fierce moth]

😎

[edgy moss]

i go onto facebook marketplace and i see a razer core for 90 dollars

but its 5 hours away

[weary wagon]

guys i recently came into a third monitor and im not sure exactly what to use it for. currently have my main and secondary, the latter of which is permanently occupied with discord. new monitor is 1366x768 and for some reason comes with the room im renting, so i might as well use it.

suggestions?

[manic torrent]

if only there were services that brought you stuff from other places

[edgy moss]

yeah

[manic torrent]

1366x768? What year is it

[edgy moss]

id have to ask them if theyre willing to do shipping though

[weary wagon]

it's an ancient tv. some of the rooms in this house still have CD racks

[manic torrent]

yeah I would just use it to watch youtube, and/or set it on fire

[edgy moss]

someone is really trying to sell a Radeon HD 7950 for $275

[ionic abyss]

how did they get the look of gollum so wrong

is the reference material on lord of the rings so lacking they cant make gollum look like gollum

[manic torrent]

I mean, I'm fairly sure, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it MIGHT be that gollum is from the original source material of a BOOK, which primarily consisted of words.

[ionic abyss]

ive read all the books and seen the movies

and im sure recreating gollum is possable in almost any modern game engine

[crude jasper]

yah ~ 3990x main advantage is the power/performance ratio ~ not really worth it on a dead platform

i'd rather wait for a 32c AM5 CPU or next gen TR

[dusky jacinth]

I have doubts about AMD releasing another one that isn't going to be relegated to just OEMs and such.

[crude jasper]

Wat

[manic torrent]

ok?

[wind pulsar]

It doesn't really matter even if they're OEM only

They'll just find their way on second-hand markets

[crude jasper]

That and it likely isn't going to be OEM only

they've always shown up on retail sites one way or another

[wind pulsar]

You can also get a 13490F fairly easily even though it's a relatively rare CPU even in China, where it is sold exclusively

[ionic abyss]

13490f???

[wind pulsar]

Yup, has been existing since Alder Lake, there is a 12490F as well

It's effectively a slightly higher clocked 13400F. It was the same case for the 12490F vs the 12400F but for some reason the 12490F liked to be 15% better than the 12400F

[rough birch]

Idc what anybody says I like those old websites that have absolutely everything turned up to 120% and give your eye strain

Properties of the camera, was dialing in settings to make it look not horrendous

It was over exposed

Nah he IS hot

[vapid smelt]

Is it the photo or is the mouse super skinny

[pulsar violet]

Wide angle lens to get the whole shot also it’s a viper mini

[wind pulsar]

That's an ultrawide shot, so that's distortion

[pulsar violet]

The left monitor is not that big

The lights are removed cause I’ll clip them on when I need them

[jaunty cairn]

It s still a cool setup

[pulsar violet]

Thanks, gotta move it for university though 🫠

[vapid smelt]

How far is your uni from your house?

[pulsar violet]

400 km

Nvm

[fiery cipher]

are all the monitors for one computer?

[pulsar violet]

Yea, top is tv

[vapid smelt]

400! Do you hate your parents that much

[pulsar violet]

I live in rural Saskatchewan I’m going to Calgary

[fiery cipher]

ahh so you don't normally use it as a computer monitor?

[vapid smelt]

Saskatchewan sounds fake

[pulsar violet]

I do, top is usually unless I’m doing something so I put obs up there or a movie when I’m in bed, then left is discord, middle is main

[pulsar violet]

do you ever lose your mouse?

cursor

[sweet jetty]

What keeb is thattt

[pulsar violet]

Sometimes but I just move it to the bottom left to find it

[fiery cipher]

fair when i lose mine i use double ctrl in powertools

[sweet jetty]

+1, powertools is such a blessing on windows

[fiery cipher]

i dont like the zones thing though

but any form of window management on windows is ass

[pulsar violet]

I’m Colton gonna be fuming but it’s the overhyped Ducky One 2 Mini with no mods

I was gonna do a foam mod but then decided not to

Cherry MX Reds

[sweet jetty]

Lol, it's okay, mod when you wanna

It makes a hugeee difference in terms of feeling, trust

[pulsar violet]

Watch Dogs 2 likes to go on my vertical monitor even if I change the settings

[pulsar violet]

Yea, just don’t like the rattle or anything

[fiery cipher]

i hate allot of things about windows

like fucking automatic protocol assignment

[sweet jetty]

Bandaid mods are super good for that, takes 20 mins tops

[pulsar violet]

I want my keyboard to sound like this

[fiery cipher]

annoys the hell out of me had to got through the registry to reassign a protocol to an app

[pulsar violet]

The switches are soldered in so I don’t think that’s possible but I may be wrong

[sweet jetty]

DUDE IKR

How did the person manage to make it sound like that ON A CARDBOARD

[pulsar violet]

Idk like, I’m in awe

[sweet jetty]

Oh, the stabilizers come off easily, doesn't matter if switches are soldered or no

[fiery cipher]

carboard is like quite isolating right? because of the air pockets and shit

[fallen cedar]

yes

[sweet jetty]

And if you're willing to get a little creative desoldering is always possible if you wanna mod switches

[fiery cipher]

big sean wassup

[fallen cedar]

thats me

[sweet jetty]

I mean, yea, but that cardboard sheet is thin af so idt air pockets are big on there

Yea, I just don’t want to risk it run but if I ever mod a keyboard I’ll probably get something like a red dragon or RK cause they are pretty cheap

[fallen cedar]

they wake up early

[fiery cipher]

at like 2am and the markets open at 3am

[sweet jetty]

Fair, there are many more custom options too that aren't that expensive, building your custom keeb is the best thing, trust me

[fallen cedar]

thats about as far as my fishmarket knowledge goes

[fallen cedar]

tbh I wouldnt bother sleeping at all

[fiery cipher]

they buy the fish from auctions

they go to sleep at 6pm

[fallen cedar]

nerds

[fiery cipher]

or somin very early

[fallen cedar]

ill sleep at 6 am

[sweet jetty]

Not if they're insomniacs 😎

[pulsar violet]

Yea true, I’ve watched hypo, glarses, Linus, and CarterPCs in the keyboard space so that’s how I got into the modding ideology
