i just got an ebay deal for a razer viper v2 pro for 35 it’s in good condition should i buy?

[graceful burrow]

Ew razer no lmao

[past egret]

g502 superiority

ive had 2 and they both still work

after 7 years of combined use

[sonic mulch]

Is 100$ cad for a 2tb ssd realistic!

[fallen cedar]

the mice are fine actually

with the rest I generally agree

ok

[steep girder]

I continued rest of wall in off topic because I got atted there. Im also done now. In retrospect its pretty disorganized. Im a bad writer

As essay, would definitely not even pass any peer review far enough to be even deemed something one would consider an essay. It needs thesis first and foremost

[brisk tundra]

what do you guys think I should get? https://shop.neosmartpen.com/collections/neo-smartpens

[full fossil]

expensive.

[steep girder]

Definitely not nvme

[grim ether]

110 cad for a 2TB MP44L

[steep girder]

Whats mp44l

[grim ether]

gen 4 nvme ssd

[steep girder]

Teamgroup rings a bell but never seen em lol

[grim ether]

teamgroup makes good stuff

[steep girder]

Looks like good reviews idk

[grim ether]

always good value

[steep girder]

Yeah honestly then could be my next nvme

[grim ether]

I did a teamgroup 4TB XS70 for my C:

[steep girder]

But idk upgrading nvme means system drive. Something bad has to happen first lol

[grim ether]

well

you could just use R drive image or something

[split obsidian]

maps

[grim ether]

takes a couple hours at most to clone your partitions (assuming you are using SSDs ofc)

[steep girder]

Like 2tb might as well as a bonus now that I know. Still though are they worse than samsung or wd black in some way?

[grim ether]

Depends on model

[steep girder]

The under 150 for 2tb lol

[grim ether]

With samsung

a lot of what you are paying for is brand name
they make reliable stuff but so do other people at lower costs for essentially the same product

for best value per gigabyte at very high performance, MP44L is the move

For extremely high performance (you will likely not notice the difference) at a good value, SN770 by WD is a good move (154 cad for 2TB)

[steep girder]

I mostly get wd black tbh. I think it's cheaper

[grim ether]

Its definitely not

its 50% more expensive per GB lol

Use PCpartpicker. it will help

[steep girder]

I was actually told stay away from wd black ssd

[grim ether]

whoever said that is silly and doesnt know what they are talking about

[low rain]

I have a wd blue 😭😭😭and I regret it

[grim ether]

yeahhhh wd blue is something special lmao

i wouldnt do wd blue SSDs

[steep girder]

And i think i heard samsung is better. But honestly wtf team group is even on Can computers in stock 2tb for like 150 cad

[low rain]

Next week I’ll prolly buy a 980 pro

[steep girder]

I would have tried if i saw

[grim ether]

use pcpartpicker

https://www.newegg.ca/team-group-2tb-mp44l/p/N82E16820331920?Item=N82E16820331920&nm_mc=AFC-RAN-CAN&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-CAN&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fca.pcpartpicker.com%2F&ranMID=44589&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-0sXIZBo4dhjcJdn.lNisag

[steep girder]

Wait no Kingston lol

[grim ether]

$110 for 2TB at 4.8GB/s read and 4.4GB/s write

[steep girder]

Its actually cheaper 2tb!

[low rain]

I have a hdd too 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[steep girder]

Like Kingston id stay away from usually especially system ssd

[brisk tundra]

I can afford it

[steep girder]

But it wasnt 110 bucks for 2tb for sure

[sonic mulch]

thats good to know, thanks

[full fossil]

Not saying you can't but I'm saying it's damn expensive

[steep girder]

Id probably buy 150 even 2tb

[brisk tundra]

yeah

[grim ether]

The MP44L on the link I sent you is $110 for the 2TB model. Read it carefully, theres a promo code there.

[steep girder]

SSDs actually dropped in price recently right. Plus it could be next gen on top of that

So makes sense 2TB is now possible 100cad

[grim ether]

Flash has been dropping like a rock in price for a while. SSDs have been cheap for quite some time now

[steep girder]

cad? promo code lol i guess. Would have been useful if i were replacing. Tbh would have been useful if i waited in the first place

I bought 1tb for pretty much that price

[grim ether]

you know you can just move everything over to a different drive right

you dont have to wait for something to stop working lol

[steep girder]

Yes

[grim ether]

yeah same lol

[steep girder]

Thats exactly how it looks like

[grim ether]

I bought 2 1TBs at that price early in the year

wasted money tbh, not going to be buying drives under 2TB in future

[steep girder]

Last time i had os break so o had to reinstall. Took the opportunity to also replace ssd because now is as good time as any

[grim ether]

I suppose

[steep girder]

I mean goal was 1tb. 500 was definitely crammed. I didnt run out yet but still lol

[grim ether]

Next time you reinstall though, id really recommend taking an image of your entire drive right after you finish setting what you want up on it. The actual image is only the size of the data, so it realistically should be between 40-60GB in most cases

then next time you need to clean install, you can just restore from the image instead and all your licensing and personalization is done

[steep girder]

2tb system drive idk tbh. I mean I have my other ssd for that. 4tb for sure has to be second ssd

[grim ether]

Actually I lied

[grim ether]

its way less. My day 1 image is 22 GB

[steep girder]

You shouldnt really put anything on system drive other than os program files etc

[grim ether]

thats just simply not the case

[steep girder]

Anything microsoft makes sense like office

Recently i learned hard way

Cant find latest copy of code and realized system restore ate it

I remembered i put in like root of c temporarily. I even questioned myself at the time

[grim ether]

There is literally nothing wrong with keeping anything you want on your OS drive

Take backups, store things properly and you wont have any issues realistically

[steep girder]

I literally did something i normally wouldnt

Then tried for fun system restore from newer windows 10 to older version. The little information on internet said bad idea but i went for it

The restore points were there idk

So it broke os. I couldnt even use recovery because sometimes you get that thing where no accounts are there

System restore worked off install cd so i tried the newest 'revert one'. It errored. Idk but I remember seeing hint that it wasnt even using correct drive letters. C:\ is wpe and d e f one of them are system. It didnt write it in error

Then i tried a few more older ones all failed

Then reinstalled windows and backed up everything except windows folder

The proj folder was already gone which is why i was still oblivious to it

[polar fern]

The iOS 17 video legit reaffirms my take on lmg/ltt.

[mint ore]

should i still buy an msi laptop after what happened?

[steep girder]

But i questioned at that moment should i leave system behind? Lmfao second time. Maybe it would have had the system restore with code

[polar fern]

What happened?

[mint ore]

msi got their signing keys leaked

apparently

[polar fern]

Oh shit

[mint ore]

cuz like im trying to find a laptop under 1250aud that actually has good performance, and theres a few sales going on, or maybe i should wait a bit??

like rn im on a 1650 mobile i5-10500h that i'm about to return for being faulty

so just anything better than this 😵‍💫

[polar fern]

It’s possible that they have already recycled through their inventory to address this issue, but it’s also possible that some retailers and resellers may not have participated if they did do that

[steep girder]

Does it really matter though? Like 30% of people search windows pc drivers and click first link to install driverscannerfixer

[polar fern]

Honestly, it’s probably better to go with something else or wait

[mint ore]

yeah

[steep girder]

Half official drivers are unsigned as is

[polar fern]

Anything on that computer that you type or install or anything could be used. Too much risk

[warped edge]

I’m building with a Evga Rtx 3080, should I go for a 750w psu or 850w?

[polar fern]

What processor?

[steep girder]

Like windows update idk if they make them. But oem site? It's a free for all

[warped edge]

7800x3d

[polar fern]

Prolly 850

[warped edge]

Alr bet yea I’ve read the Evga model can use upwards of 400w alone

[mint ore]

higher = more headroom for the future

[polar fern]

Well higher wattage rating also is more efficient if you’re not near its capacity

[steep girder]

Yeah lol ^

[uncut axle]

Oh yeah

[polar fern]

Like my pc build only needs around 400 watts, but I’m going for 750 because efficiency.

[dusty rune]

lol

[modest leaf]

reject nvidia return to 3dfx

[long briar]

a good 750 is plenty, like rm750e

[dusty rune]

clearly the 10w will make a huge difference

[modest leaf]

3dfx was more efficient than a 4090 but they died off

[dusty rune]

oh yeah transit has me blocked oops

[long briar]

But 850w is fine too

if you've got the extra budget then why not, otherwise 750 is fine

[pure jackal]

Will the rm750e work with a 3080

[dusty rune]

best to just go 850

[pure jackal]

Or is it gonna blow

[long briar]

yes

[dusty rune]

or grab an ax1600i

[polar fern]

Which 3080?

[dusty rune]

would last longer than your bloodline

[steep girder]

I dont mind 850 gold because i know it can output 850 stable and draw like 1000 W AC for that. So it can handle hella more fluctuations right?

[polar fern]

Okay, I’m going to go back to watching YouTube and TV

[modest leaf]

bruh platinum if u can why would you lose money on electricity

thats some major weenie energy

[mint ore]

why does intel still make 4 core 11th gens?

[warped edge]

Evga ftw3 whatever it’s called

[steep girder]

Well i mean its not that detrimental to me. On the other hand, i havent really checked. Id have to compare same pc gold and plat psu lol

[graceful burrow]

4c8t is enough for basic computing tasks

And even most gaming kek

[mint ore]

it was a laptop with rtx3050, 16gb ram and an i5-11320h ????

[steep girder]

But its efficiency so on my usually no watts unless im playing game that draws near max power

[pure jackal]

Ballin with 4t

[graceful burrow]

Well enough for basic computing kek

[steep girder]

And gold vs platinum lol would that even make a diff? I dont keep pc on even half day

And i dont use maybe even over 100W except a smaller portion of time its on

AC tho... that is 99.9999% electric bill in summer. Real pc cost happens at max power when it heats up room and i turn down thermostat just to start the ac again for a while

Then i forget idk

[elfin jetty]

Oh come off it, its not terrible

[steep girder]

Arm 64 is already more than enough for basic computing

[graceful burrow]

That's what I'm saying bud

[elfin jetty]

[steep girder]

i5 is like enough for complex computing with virtualization

[desert ivy]

I don't know the context of the conversation. But I'd take into consideration first the brand, and then the rating. But yeah, all things equal better go for Platinum

[steep girder]

So you can compute inside compute

[dusky jacinth]

So is the Pentium G7400.
Which I know is not a laptop chip, but still. That thing is ridiculously overpowered a dual-core cpu, especially in this current day.

[elfin jetty]

Computerseption

[desert ivy]

And gaming,.like Retro NES, and Mame arcade games.

[desert ivy]

Do they? Or are they old stock or old laptops still being sold. It's super common. And why they are removing the gen from the naming. So people have a harder time figuring out they are buying a 2 year old CPU

[steep girder]

Depends on what you take away from the platinum though. Id only care if it truly did indicate better components usually. The actual efficiency i dont care about

[elfin jetty]

What do you think would happen if everybody just kept refering to it by generation

[modest leaf]

nah i put a cheap 350 watt noname in my pc and its powering my 4090 fine

[gentle slate]

Bro I kinda wanna go raw on my s23

[steep girder]

In theory, yeah youre wasting less energy. But that maybe matters if youre mining and actually use even above 500W consistently and it runs 24/7

[modest leaf]

0 problems with the dirt cheap chinese psu

[gentle slate]

Like no case. Why do cases look so ugly

[modest leaf]

yea, cases are all more or less the same and a lot are uglier than my ex

[gentle slate]

Even a low key transparent one basically conceals the phones color

Not to mention it feels cheap

[steep girder]

Right. Thats number 1 thing to avoid. Its 0.125 danger tiers below roadside psu in the rain

Linus tip was genius too. Consider a psu manufacturer that was too cheap to coat their units. That saves like 6.9 cents. Now think about what it says about rest of psu lol

Cheap unit breaking is fairly good outcome for psu. Could zap the atx power or cpu so -1299usd.

[modest leaf]

i literally have my 4090 and 2 ssds running on this cheap 350 watt psu that was given to me for 6 months now no issues

[steep girder]

PSU you shouldnt cheap out on because its an electronic thats basically giant rectifier capable of 1000W from wall AC to 800W dc.

[modest leaf]

no i was jk u think im that wild to put a cheap trash psu behind a video card like that

[steep girder]

Well thats great. Check your vdroop and vsag and whatnot. How much is compensation? If its giving out dirty power, its just worse on vrms idk

You can check if you get like normal corsair or evga equivalent unit and vrm mos cools down lol

If it does, cheap psu found a way to cheap. If not, idk what to even complain about tbh. You got a cheap psu and thank god it works and performs fine lol

[near nymph]

Listening to Speak Now Taylor's Version... Woot woot

Ngl not a fan of it.

[steep girder]

Idk exactly how to check that stuff tbh. But id only care if the vrms are like 10c hotter. Tbh i never know because i dont compare psus

[limpid spear]

uWu

[gentle slate]

I've had a psu do that

[steep girder]

But 10C cooler just swapping psu could mean its actual psu difference and it means like a year difference for my mobo or cpu

[gentle slate]

Psu and mobo were fkn cooked

[steep girder]

Yeah but have you ever used a cpu or mobos vrm until one of them broke?

[gentle slate]

Nope

[steep girder]

Oh. Well idk what even vrm cooking should do to cpu lol

I mean vcore highest you can set it to cooking cpu sometimes. I know 8700k shouldnt go over like 1.4v 5.0 oc

But 1.4 is kinda treated like max. Good chips run 5.0GHz less than that.. but then some mobos i think you can set way higher lol

[north wraith]

So did the Reddit protests actual do anything?

[steep girder]

Says vrm frying can take out cpu though

[steep girder]

If psu and vrm cooked, for sure it was psu cooked vrm. Then your best hope is cpu was left untouched lpl

[graceful burrow]

Moderation bots and bots on subs like r/blind and stuff like that are allowed without the bullshit fees

[steep girder]

But yeah vrm regulates voltages to cpu and apparently good chance cpu fried

[steep girder]

Yes but they can tell who the bots are because they post text that doesnt read in narrator properly :p

[desert ivy]

No. Except some Subreddits still taken over by mods on a powertrip.

[graceful burrow]

I don't care, dimmskii

[steep girder]

Bro I dont care about reddit in general. Why is it an issue lol

But tbh r/blind i can get behind

[graceful burrow]

Can't wait for the impending 13 paragraphs

[steep girder]

Nah. Reddit doesnt deserve it. I mean i respect world news in those times when mods ban no source whatsoever. Thats what it was good for

[desert ivy]

The only reason I haven't blocked him is because I wouldn't understand half the conversations. Since he replies to everyone with something barely related to the point.

[steep girder]

But also they kinda moderate out editorialized or shady sites w no sources

[graceful burrow]

Genuinely barely related
And so much

[steep girder]

So hows reddit barely related to reddit?

[graceful burrow]

I'm talking in general my guy

[steep girder]

Bots are kind of stupid. Same with discord. Youre not supposed to restream youtube vids with disc bot because of youtubes own terms of use or something

[graceful burrow]

You spout shit confidently and then when you get called out you're like "look idk shit that means you gotta excuse me" and then write 14 more paragraphs about the thing like you know what you're talking about

[steep girder]

Well honestly i do need a bot that plays youtube music on server. Everything else you literally have no coverage even legal or public domain songs

[desert ivy]

No one cares dude. Shut up. Since today no one can talk because you wrote 10 messages and change the topic every 5 seconds. We were talking about Reddit. I would've liked more people to Chime in. But you are starting with the dumbest comments about bots. Like what?

[steep girder]

Well its pretty demanded rn. Disc bot that works with yt still...

[elfin jetty]

[steep girder]

This is relevant to literally general demand on app youre typing into lol

[desert ivy]

Go to a psychiatrist for your untreated bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

[graceful burrow]

[steep girder]

Ok thanks for diagnosis lol

[desert ivy]

No. Seriously go to a psychiatrist and tell him Yesterday I spend 12 hours of my day writing on a chat. I got told to shut up by a dozen people and wasn't engaged in any way.

You are going to get prescribed medication and it's going to help you.

[steep girder]

Roger that. Have a good one brudda.

[stark kindle]

Should i rather get a gigabyte m27q or msi mag274qrf-qd

Like which one is better

[desert ivy]

Isn't one 1440p and the other 1080p ?

[stark kindle]

dont think so?

both

1440

[desert ivy]

Weird for some reason in my Amazon the MSI showed as 1080p

[stark kindle]

MSI Optix MAG274QRFDE-QD, 27"

[desert ivy]

To be honest I would get the cheapest. They are pretty similar. Both are rated on rtings.com it's the site I use to check the stats.

It's what Linus intend to with LTTLabs and probably their main future competitors

[stark kindle]

mhmm

i can run 1440p right with 3080

ppl on another discord say its bad cause of the vram lol...

[desert ivy]

Yes. I would honestly get an Ultrawide.

[stark kindle]

im from germany

so idk which monitor to get tbh

[desert ivy]

If you have a 1080p monitor with a 3080 your priorities are messed up haha. Like the PS5 is 4k gaming with a 2070 and less VRAM. It can run 1440p more than fine..it can do 4k too

[stark kindle]

i got a 5600x and 3080

what monitor can u recommend me the most in your opinion no one rly answers me on the tech support channel

[desert ivy]

That's a 4k 60hz. Or a 1440p 120hz.

[desert ivy]

Its the g34 gigabyte available. Ultrawide? 34 inch?

[stark kindle]

isnt that bad for the PPI?

[desert ivy]

No, a 34 inch 3440x1440 ultrawide has the same PPI than a 27 inch 2560x1440. It's like the same vertical height but it has a lot more pixels to the size.

[stark kindle]

mhmm

[stark kindle]

https://geizhals.de/?cat=monlcd19wide thats whats available maybe you can translate via google

[desert ivy]

I got Duolingo German

What's your budget?

[stark kindle]

mhmm

500 max euro

[desert ivy]

https://geizhals.de/samsung-odyssey-g5-g53t-g54t-g55t-v131058.html

The G5 by Samsung is super popular. That's the 34 inch version.

For less than 400.

[gentle slate]

Is windscribe worth a sub

I ain't got much use for a VPN, but I have routing issues to the US. Frequently drops packets.

[desert ivy]

You could go a 4k 120hz monitor but that means you would have to run the games on Medium if you want that 4k 120fps.

[desert ivy]

Are you sure a VPN is going to fix that? Like have you tried them B4?

[gentle slate]

Idk

It worked for japan in a way

[stark kindle]

mhmm is the g5 that good is the ppi not bad on 34 inch to 1440p

[desert ivy]

GIGABYTE M34WQ, 34

The Gigabyte is under 500 dollars. It's an IPS panel Ultrawide high refresh rate. It's what I would get TBH.

[desert ivy]

It's the same as the ones you sent.

It's the same vertical resolution and PPI. The extra pixels are on the side.

[gentle slate]

How at risk are the s23s cameras for scratches?

Those things bulge out like mountains

[desert ivy]

Google image search 27 inch vs 34 inch ultrawide

[desert ivy]

Same as other phones. Any decent case will have a bump to protect them on falls though

[gentle slate]

But having a case feels so shit

Using a case feels like going from a nice premium phone to an ancient nokiq

[desert ivy]

Then why worry about it scratching breaking?

[manic torrent]

.... You either get to have a phone with a case

Or a smashed up useless pile of glass and garbage.

[stark kindle]

is it worth for the price up from g5?

[desert ivy]

Using it without a case might look like a super flex and it will work, but the look of satisfaction and schadenfreude when you arrive to your friends with a broken phone is not worth it lol

[gentle slate]

Who cares about flexing I want it to just not feel like plastic garbage :(

And leather cases are wack.

[manic torrent]

Omg you're so whiny

[crimson hawk]

I think the most rewarding thing is right before I get rid of the phone taking off the screen protector and faded beaten up case to reveal a pristine phone

[desert ivy]

They use 2 different panel technologies IPS and VA. The Gigabyte is more expensive and it's IPS. Some people don't like VA. Some even prefer it since it has more contrast.

[stark kindle]

which one looks better and crisp

[crimson hawk]

Get a tech21
They don’t feel cheap and have saved my ass more times than I can count

[eager notch]

I bought a thermal camera so I can take thermal photos through the side panel like Linus

[desert ivy]

I haven't physically seen a VA monitor. Some people love them. Some people say they show Ghosting IIRC. I think I would prefer a VA due to better contrast, but I can't know for sure. Both have the same PPI.

[stark kindle]

mhmm

i wonder if they get displayed at Bestbuy or memoryexpress cause currently im in Canada

[crimson hawk]

i think I’ve used a VA before but let me go recheck my old monitors specs before I weigh in

[manic torrent]

My ultrawide VA was fine, but VA absolutely sucks in portrait

[desert ivy]

Yeah the Samsung is Curved so it would suck even more haha.

[crimson hawk]

okay i was right
so it was a curved monitor so definitely not the same in all regards but it was very washed out for me. remember the colors not being anything impressive
it also wasn’t a very “premium” monitor either, but in comparison to the Dell ultrasharp IPS I have, worlds apart

[stark kindle]

im usually playing lost ark the most

[eager notch]

I have an HP IPS and an AOC VA monitor, get the IPS

[stark kindle]

and league of legends i kinda want it to look crisp but not be ass you know

[crimson hawk]

I would definitely recommend IPS over VA from personal experience

[desert ivy]

People prefer IPS because it's more color accurate for general use. If it's only for Multimedia I wouldn't care TBH.

[velvet marsh]

I have a samsung monitor, and it's colors suck

[full fossil]

just get 5 1680x1050 monitors and link them

[eager notch]

IPS is just better in general than VA imo

[crimson hawk]

But make sure the specs aren’t crappy, IPS screens can be IPS and still awful (ahem, Lenovo’s laptops with 45%NTSC IPS panels…….)

[desert ivy]

Lol then you def want Ultrawide. Being able to see more horizontally is huuge in those games. In Diablo IV you move faster lol.

[stark kindle]

so the gigabyte one

[eager notch]

Nah, dual monitors

[full fossil]

then the border is in the center

[crimson hawk]

I’m a dual monitor proponent
One for game one for discord spotify game guide watch update progress etc
Two 27s are perfect for me

[desert ivy]

The Gigabyte ultrawide 34 inch is the most foolproof choice. You could save 100eur for the G5 but you risk not liking it haha.

[eager notch]

And?

[desert ivy]

That way you don't get the advantages that some games offer in Ultrawide.

[eager notch]

I fail to see a problem

[desert ivy]

My Immersion.

[full fossil]

i tried that and it f‘ed me up playing games

[crimson hawk]

Well I also hate curved monitors

[stark kindle]

hmmm

[eager notch]

Maybe I'm just a masochist

[crimson hawk]

Though that’s more personal choice and i would argue can vastly differ person to person

I’ve never felt a need for an ultra wide to get “better immersion”

[full fossil]

i use it to see more

[crimson hawk]

I’m sitting at my desk. If I look down there goes my immersion lol

[desert ivy]

They are not bad on Ultrawide unless you want them on vertical. I find curved unnecessary TVs or 16:9 monitors though.

[crimson hawk]

I see those 43” Samsung ones that are so heavily curved and vomit

Just me probably but what a waste of money imo

Been happy with my two 27s and probably could’ve been the same amount of happy with 24s

[eager notch]

This is the best gaming experience imo

[desert ivy]

They are too expensive to be worth it IMO. Although for racing or flight sims they must be great

[eager notch]

https://youtu.be/n5xvPUobfDA

[crimson hawk]

This is awful to me
It’s so… stretched

[full fossil]

that won’t fit on my desk lol

[eager notch]

Get another desk then

[desert ivy]

Weird seeing anyone but Linus in main channel. Is that from when he was thinking about retiring?

[full fossil]

it won’t fit in the area i have lol

[crimson hawk]

Idk I like my single standard monitor call me casual

[desert ivy]

Get another Area lol

[full fossil]

i can’t lol

[eager notch]

Remodel your room to make it bigger than

EZ

[crimson hawk]

Real gamer talk

[full fossil]

it’s at my work lol

[crimson hawk]

I’m moving into a dorm in the fall and really excited to see how much of a toaster oven it’ll be with my 3090

No more 520W LN2 kingpin bios

[full fossil]

my wifi card stoped working so i had to get a new one and haven’t taken my pc back yet

[eager notch]

So start a rumor about the person who are next to you in your office so they get fired and then take over their space

[full fossil]

there is 3 of us

a phone guy and 2 computer

[desert ivy]

So get them fired and make Mega-desk

[eager notch]

So get both of them fired so you're the only person left

[full fossil]

the owner is one the computer guys and the phone guy is the reason i can get there

lol

[desert ivy]

Did you make a decision?

[stark kindle]

kinda torn ngl

[desert ivy]

Can't you get the cheaper one and return it if you don't like it? Are you currently in a 1080p monitor?

[stark kindle]

yes

i got an 1080p r n

[desert ivy]

Dude. That's almost a crime haha. Probably one of the few people with a 1080p monitor that has a 3080.

[stark kindle]

hahaha

[stark kindle]

Could i run it with a 3070 too?

[graceful burrow]

Do you one better
4070ti with a 1080p

I'll be going back to my 1080 here soon

1080 is a great 1080p card lol

[full fossil]

na 1060 3 gb

[desert ivy]

I paid like 1500eurs for a 3440x1440 IPS 120hz monitor in 2018. Prices RN for this types of monitors are cheap rn

[graceful burrow]

I feel bad for anyone running that card

[full fossil]

im running 4 monitors with nv link

[graceful burrow]

Get well soon

[full fossil]

on a 1060 3gb

afterburner go brrrr

[desert ivy]

If you have a 1080p old monitor don't matter what you get you are going to love it. To me the monitor is the most important part of the system. It's what you look at, it's a part that will last you years and doesn't become obsolete.

[stark kindle]

@desert ivy i got a 3070 asus tuf aswell which im mostly using cause technically the 3080 doesnt belong to me but my cousin doesnt rly care bout it anymore so i sometimes use it

[stark kindle]

or do i need to use 308

[full fossil]

y’all got good gpus

[desert ivy]

Yeah the 3070 is good for 1440p

[full fossil]

the best i have is a 2060 laptop#

im broke

[desert ivy]

I would get the 1440p monitor even if I had a 3050ti. It's just life changing.

[full fossil]

na 6720x1050

[desert ivy]

That's a crime haha. Hahaha your priorities are all wrong. 😛. Are you mix maxing your gear acquiring process or something

[full fossil]

just better

[stark kindle]

mhmmmm damn

[graceful burrow]

Nah I was building a pc for a buddy and the gpu box came damaged
Convinced him to let me run in until the rest of his stuff came in to make sure it worked alright
It does
My rig is normally a gtx 1080, 5600, and 32gb of ram
Just modest af

His stuff comes in tomorrow so I get to take it out

[gentle slate]

I wanna download a game but I dunno if i shud do it on my jobs network

[graceful burrow]

I'm gonna miss how powerful that 4070ti is

On the bright side I got a seller lined up for a 3090 for 600 + ship

[desert ivy]

Yeah are 1080p the ray tracing is at another level

[vivid warren]

question... how do i check if my pc is overclocked? and if it is how do i undo it?

[full fossil]

i have a 4th gen i5 12 gb of ram and a 1060 3gb

[graceful burrow]

Which is about on par with a 4070ti and has 24gb of vram

[graceful burrow]

Are you the original owner

[gentle slate]

imma just hotspot it

unlimited 5g go brr.

[vivid warren]

yeap

[steep girder]

If youre using your company vpn or the machine is in company win domain.. nooope

[graceful burrow]

Did you overclock

[vivid warren]

no

[graceful burrow]

Then your machine isn't overclocked

[full fossil]

i love ur pfp

[gentle slate]

like its a "company" but more of an underground "company"

[vivid warren]

but it is runing pretty higher than my base speed..

[graceful burrow]

Boosting is normal

[vivid warren]

oh.. thank you 🙂

[gentle slate]

my ancient i5 4670 goes from 3.4ghz to 3.7

[desert ivy]

All modern processors have boost speeds and base speeds.

[gentle slate]

massive booztz

[steep girder]

Well i mean lol idk what underground means but if you can underground install game and they cant say anything about it

[graceful burrow]

Can't wait to build this pc

[gentle slate]

I shouldve prepared for job better

for monday I'll install factorio, dyson, FFXIV and runescape on my laptop so I have stuff to do.

[steep girder]

Main signs are is windows enterprise edition and was it preinstalled? Was user premade for you and they gave you login?

Maybe like you cant sign in without network. But it can cache roaming profile nowadays tbh

Or a big tell is if you try to do something usual but it says 'denied contact your administrator' or some crap

if so, you my friend are in domain. Idk

[gentle slate]

oh nah its on my personal laptop. just company network

[steep girder]

Well i mean depends. Network as in vpn? Any network tbh just disconnect and install what you want

[graceful burrow]

Gonna keep a "what the fuck is Dimmskii even saying" counter

[steep girder]

If you are connected, they might see which servers youre connecting

[steep girder]

Im saying answer to should i install game on work notebook is no.

[graceful burrow]

I don't even think you understood the question lmao

[steep girder]

Trust me lmfao. Rule of thumb words of wisdom

[steep girder]

.

[graceful burrow]

You're the least trustworthy person in chat

[steep girder]

Do you understand though

[graceful burrow]

I don't think I've ever understood a word of yours tbh

[gentle slate]

did I cause a war by asking a question

[graceful burrow]

No this has been going on

Inflamed it, maybe

[steep girder]

I mean answer can only be yes and no. Did i not respond with the 99.9999% safer one in general?

[graceful burrow]

Dimmskii's known for talking out his ass about things he doesn't know about, and then writing novellas about them

[steep girder]

What i can also say yea. Install game on somebody else's machine. Sounds like a good idea

[gentle slate]

I forgot my phone charger and now there's no charger to use. God bless USB C adapters. Can't use any other one now

[steep girder]

No. It's actual personal experience and even stories of others i personally heard lol

[graceful burrow]

Dimmskii stop
I don't care lmao

You're wasting keystrokes trust me

[steep girder]

Im answering completely other persons question

[graceful burrow]

But you're @'ing me

[steep girder]

And again, the answer to should i download game on work machine is no lmfao. End of story. Yall can draw conclusion

[graceful burrow]

@ them
Not me

[gentle slate]

this reminds me of when mom and dad fight

[steep girder]

Well yeah you said im talking out of ass lmfao

[graceful burrow]

Yeah
I was right, too

[steep girder]

So i guess if i turn out to be wrong, its actually yea. Yes install game through company vpn and even make shortcut

[graceful burrow]

Click

[steep girder]

Steam shortcut to cs go looks great on domain user profile desktop on their server

[graceful burrow]

That's 2

[steep girder]

Maybe im wrong who knows

[desert ivy]

Dimmski has been online writing walls of text for the past 13 hours. So people have lost their patience

[pulsar violet]

How interesting

For a pretty barebones app

[desert ivy]

Some ad servers frameworks do that or some developers just tick everything

[steep girder]

🤘🔥🤘 viel dank

[full fossil]

mhm

[steep girder]

I love how health and fitness data only includea your heart rate over timeline if you spent extra 800$ on flagship galaxy lmfao

[full fossil]

yo

[desert ivy]

Ah it's Twitter. Every social media company does the same. It's not weird at all.

[full fossil]

hey
i reinstalled windows because i think i contracted the SeroXen malware
I didn't do no generic reset. I deleted every last goddamn partition on the drive and ran diskpart clean all

Can SeroXen survive all that?

[steep girder]

If theres no heart beat sensor, theres no heartbeat lol. That or smart watch

[full fossil]

Ya and I chose the clean data in reset this pc

Can seroxen survive that

[desert ivy]

I wouldn't think so. The amount of malware that could survive that is pretty small. And would be patched quickly on a clearbet malware

[full fossil]

Seroxen is a rat that has a rootkit

Does reinstalling remove ring 0 rootkits

with my method

[steep girder]

'''The rootkit is stored in an obfuscated form in the Windows registry and is later activated using PowerShell via the Task Scheduler, injecting it into "winlogon.exe."'''

Soft. Its fileless but lives in registry. Just nuke system partition and reinstall lol

[full fossil]

Will my method remove it bro

[steep girder]

Format windows partition after you back up. Simple

[full fossil]

I just chose clean data in reset pc

[full fossil]

i nuked the WHOLE GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING DRIVE
i wiped every last fucking partition
I EVEN RAN DISKPART CLEAN ALL

ya, i think that sumbitch is dead

[steep girder]

But you cant use any binaries that were exposed to it. So no dll exe etc. Best method is if you neex things, only media files like documents, music, pictures, etc come

[full fossil]

I dont back up

I don't havw anything important on my pc

[steep girder]

Well i mean nuking everything w/o backup is fastest lmfao. Also safer in theory. But a virus that persists in windows reg...

definitely not appending to music or photos lmfao

[full fossil]

does that mean my method will remove it

he chose the factory reset option

with clwan data option

[steep girder]

Maybe ntfs alternate streams watch out for those. Yet another pointless microsoft thing which generally only exists to get pwnt

[desert ivy]

Yes. Don't worry.

[full fossil]

I just want privacy

[full fossil]

reset survival my fucking ASS

thank GOD for usb reinstalling and factory reset option

[steep girder]

Back up all your ntfs partition files to like separate new virvgn exfat partition by copying over

[full fossil]

idk how to do that

[desert ivy]

Do you know how you got it? Your only risk RN is not get infected again.

[steep girder]

Factory reset might work too lol

[full fossil]

Powershell grabber

We were testing it on our selfes

turns out the owner put a seroxen rst in it

[steep girder]

Well honestly i read and it looks like just common attack rn. It doesnt even have to spread like a worm or anything. People are just downloading without realizing lmfao

Something about gamers targetted and roblox. Ofc

[full fossil]

however only i got seroxen files

he didn't

$sxr-seroxen2

[steep girder]

Remote desktop is no prob. Even if youre max infected by it pull ethernet and boom. Youve 420 iqd the attackers

[full fossil]

Was the name of the folder I think

[steep girder]

Lets see your spyware connect now.

[desert ivy]

You guys ran different executables? If it was the same, you guys both have it. The attacker might wait to remote connect to another person.

[full fossil]

shitty educational purpose "virus" that us stupid kids decided to test on ourselves to see how much info it can grab

long story short, he got seroxen and i reinstlaled too cos i suspected i had it too

[full fossil]

No we ran the same ones thats the part I'm confused on

oh god on the cortana stage

STFU CORTANA

He didn't have the seroxen files

[steep girder]

When layer 1 is gone lmfao. Even wanncry to most vulnerable known target cant ever spread.

[desert ivy]

Weird, but I woudln't risk it.

[stark kindle]

@desert ivy is the Gigabyte one the best best then i decide but i wanna be sure ya know since its so much money

[full fossil]

it was a batch file that opens a infostealer builder

[steep girder]

Bro i have like network debug device and some weird driver in registry which nobody knows about every single windows 10 install

If youre worried about remote desktop access on windows 10, dont even use clean lmfao

[full fossil]

and we fucking promise we were not gonna be malicious

we only ran it on ourslevs to see how crazy it is

It's on github I have used it in the past without getting seroxen

Also is my bitwarden password safe

[desert ivy]

I guarantee you, you won't regret it. The difference will be night and day.

[full fossil]

I didn't save it anywhere

[steep girder]

Idk why that would be on github. Its not that impressive. A true fileless windows infection comes back out of the ether lol

[full fossil]

I mean you can always just change it

[stark kindle]

im watching this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxEHORnt-Pc rn

[full fossil]

should I change my bitwarden password jic

[full fossil]

there were "image loggers" disguised as SeroXen on github

Maybe use 2 step as well

[steep girder]

Ive seen legit articles where people resort to memhunter lmfao

[full fossil]

Bitwarden has that?

[tired glade]

You should do that at least one a year

[full fossil]

Yes

[desert ivy]

yes, change every password if you want to be safe.

[tired glade]

And double password if you want

[full fossil]

My pc is on reseting this pc 37%

[full fossil]

I only had useless passwords stored in my opera gx browser

[desert ivy]

you didn't have your email pw stored somewhere?

[full fossil]

No

only in bitwarden

Does reinstalling windows reinstall the registry

Reinstalling windows resets everything

Bruh

[full fossil]

well safe to say that this "reset survival" feature is grade A bullshit

[full fossil]

Bro I'm tired*

Huh?

seroxen allegedly has a survival reset feature

[full fossil]

some mf said sum about "reset survival" but i think thats if u just reset windows with the default options

also

[manic torrent]

Uhhhh.. reboot survival? What the fuck does reset mean

[full fossil]

I'm pretty sure the ss he showed us wasn't even seroxen bc seroxen is a modified quasar rat

more like anarchy panel

[full fossil]

I am wondering the same thing

[full fossil]

probably either referred to a kep my files "reset" or a hard reset (powercycle)

[manic torrent]

You can't just change words, they have very specific meaning

[desert ivy]

you can check this too https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/m34wq

[manic torrent]

What is a hard reset.

[full fossil]

Windoss reinstall

[manic torrent]

Yeah that's not a hard reset.

[full fossil]

hold the power button to shut off

aka force shutdown

[manic torrent]

You realize that windows rebooting is actually more of a restart that a shutdown and power on is?

[desert ivy]

they have a section where they compare it to other monitors. the only one they say it's similar it's the LG 34GN850-B and it's way more expensive

[full fossil]

top 10 reason why disable fast startup

[manic torrent]

Reinstall onto the same drive without wiping it? Reinstall what where

[full fossil]

Why

I have fast startup on

[manic torrent]

Mehhhh

[stark kindle]

so its like the best ultrawide i can afford? i mean i just want the best monitor for 1440p and for max 500 euros

[desert ivy]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6481n_Mza9Q

[full fossil]

he chose an option that will clean his drive off. as in, no windows.old fiolder

[desert ivy]

yeah, LMG made a video on short circuit you made be interested

[full fossil]

the clean data option

[manic torrent]

"clean his drive off" is not specific enough.

[full fossil]

as in wipe his hard drive

wipe the data and malware off my drive

[manic torrent]

"no windows.old" is not the same as wiped drive

[full fossil]

wiping the drive clean

[manic torrent]

Also is the drive wiped, or the partition?

[desert ivy]

After researching this, yeah. I don't think you can do better. Unless there's a weird sale I don't know about going somewhere.

[manic torrent]

Is it using secure boot?

[full fossil]

I have secure boot enabled

[full fossil]

for me i wiped my drive, i deleted every last partition and ran the clean all cmd

[manic torrent]

I think the core problem here is that I understand how computers work and the best way to understand this conversation is to lobotomise myself.

Brb, getting an ice pick

[full fossil]

Bri what i mean is i chose the remove everything clean data factory reset

[desert ivy]

I paid 3 times more for a probably worse monitor in 2018 xD.

[full fossil]

i love ms edge
favorite past is when i went on the opera gx site and downloaded that

Ms edge is ass

it gives u bunch of knockoffs

cudnt even find the right tempmail

on there

[full fossil]

ud search for a good school with ms edge and the first result would be columbine or stoneman douglas

@manic torrent 💀

bro be shitting them piles

[full fossil]

spicy piles and a single shoestring

[full fossil]

Ima get cokecan ahh

[eager notch]

I just went through and purged 48000 emails

[fierce moth]

Ugh my case shat itself

Can someone recommend me some rugged case brands

That's not otterbox

[eager notch]

I've always had good luck with Spigen cases

[fierce moth]

36 aud for a case ain't bad

[timid meadow]

2nd for Spigen. On both my watch and phone rn

[eager notch]

The Spigen tough armor is a dual layer case that has that outer hard plastic shell and silicone inner cover, the Spigen rugged armor is more of a traditional just silicone case, frankly I prefer the single piece case

[eager notch]

Yep, I'm prone to dropping my phone a lot and this Spigen case was 13 dollars and other than a few scuffs, I've had it on the phone since January 2021 and it still looks decent and is still 100% functional.

[fierce moth]

Otterbox is a pos, barely had it for an entire year and it's starting to peel

[desert ivy]

I bought one and the quality is great, but ended up not using it. It's just too big and adds extra weight to my already heavy phone.

[wispy marsh]

$13??

My spigen cases are always >$30 online

[graceful burrow]

I love spigen cases

[dusty rune]

so spigen makes very good cases?

[polar fern]

Weird weather stuff

[dusty rune]

good to know

[graceful burrow]

If I'm lookin for a case, spigen is the first I look for I been using them for four phones now and have never been disappointed

[polar fern]

I’ve been using speck cases since my iPhone 3G

[near nymph]

I've destroyed the shit out of my Spigen cases

I have always been satisfied with it

[graceful burrow]

They're the goat, simple as

[polar fern]

Dunno, my iPhones have been dropped from 5 feet edge-on onto exposed concrete & tile corners & phone was unaffected.

[past egret]

i just use whatever garbage i find on amazon or its equivient

because how often must you be to drop your phone that it warrants a bulletproof case

[near nymph]

Yeah Spigen cases are cheap and durable

[polar fern]

I didn’t actually drop it I bumped it with my elbow off of the shelf etc

[dusty rune]

i drop mine very often.. should have bought one

back, camera, and corners are cracjed

[sweet raft]

Anyone that has any experience with the ASUS UM3402YA-PURE5X Zenbook 14" OLED Laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 5825U with 16 GB, 512 GB SSD and AMD Radeon™ Graphics

I am looking to buy a laptop for my lil brother that needs it for school but also gaming as he is used to game on my pc with 3080 and 32g ram it needs to be decent at gaming aswell?

[polar fern]

The speck case on my 4S lasted 4 years. Was wrecked by the end, though it had been with me while I was a nyc tour guide & it got bumped all the time just sitting in my pocket

[past egret]

obviously signs of untrained muscle control and coordination then.

[dusty rune]

no it just falls of tables and chairs

[near nymph]

Okay being straight up... It is VERY unlikely you will find someone unless it's a popular model of computer like a MacBook Pro. You are best off Google up reviews.

[sweet raft]

Okey thanks tho👍

[polar fern]

@sweet raft sounds fine. Keep in mind that “gaming laptops” are basically portable space heaters

[near nymph]

It's a 5825u. Gaming performance won't be wonderful.

[past egret]

still a lack of responsibility, its like dont put glasses on the side of your desk in case it falls

[dusty rune]

i never accidentally broke my glasses yet

[near nymph]

Sure you can probably lower down your setting and play Valorant if your asking.

[near nymph]

I dropped my Aluminum wallet on my face with my glasses on... That was a very expensive mistake haha

[eager notch]

I bought it in Jan 2021, but it appears to still be the same price today

[dusty rune]

only time my glasses broke, it was the frame and cause i got hit by a ball right in the face

[near nymph]

I need to get new glasses next year haha

[dusty rune]

he can use parsec

[near nymph]

I have a... Get new glasses every 2 year thing going on haha.

[dusty rune]

i replace mine almost yearly

[near nymph]

Is your vision changing that much to warrant that?

[dusty rune]

ye

[near nymph]

Geez.

[dusty rune]

this year they remained the same

[near nymph]

Oh that's good;

[polar fern]

5800u series processors are more for power savings

[dusty rune]

last year they changed by 1

[near nymph]

Wtf

[dusty rune]

from -3 to -4 i think

[polar fern]

I’d recommend 5900hs instead.

[near nymph]

I have a big head. So frames are hard to find. They recommend me to buy sunglasses to slap normal lenses in. But the problem with that is... I have a astigmatism so a curve to the lens will cause distortion after including the corrective lenses.

Aka I'm fucked

[dusty rune]

oh yikes

[near nymph]

I'm tempted to just 3D Print custom lens frames haha

[dusty rune]

not a bad idea

[near nymph]

BAHAHAHA brain not functioning. Anyways my friend has a HP Multijet fusion machine he says he can help me out with

[dusty rune]

would have more personality for sure

[polar fern]

Local independent eyewear place that made their own lenses and everything went out of business because the owner ended up getting severe long Covid issues. They had so many different options for different size heads and distances between centre of eyes etc. very inexpensive compared to the mainstream chains as well.

[dusty rune]

i found a frame that i really like so ill try to keep it for as long as possible

has sunglass addons w/ magnets

[near nymph]

SpecSavers here in Canada. Have pretty damn good deals

Definitely my go to next time. Clearly was bought out by luxxotica and their promotions have plenty of fine print excluding oversized frames. :/

I need a lens minimum of 58. I usually wear a 60

At this point I may just get contacts

[polar fern]

This place could give you frames & fully kitted custom lenses for normal and sunglasses for like $100.

[near nymph]

$100 is perfectly justifiable for glasses

[polar fern]

I mean, two pairs

One pair of regular glasses, and one pair of sunglasses

[near nymph]

I'm willing to pay... Up to $400 CAD for 2 pairs

SpecSavers have great promos that can reach that budget.

I'm not ready to pay $699 for 1 pair of glasses from the main stream stores

[polar fern]

I was at an event one time with my girlfriend and her kids and some of her family and I noticed her son squinting to read a digital sign board. I asked him if it was blurry and he said yes, no one else noticed that he was having vision issues. He wears glasses now.

[lilac bone]

get ready for the fortnite balls

[steep girder]

All those specs because only gaming notebook line has them. But cherry on top is display 60Hz

Literally nobody thought of changing displays because theyre not gamers. 60Hz all laptop models that year. Gg. We did good

[near nymph]

A clear vision is important to me. If my friends some day come to me saying they can't afford basic glasses. And I have money to spare. 100% buying them a pair. When I first got my glasses because I was holding back due to not having enough money to spare. Holy smokes it was life changing.

[polar fern]

Mhm.

[near nymph]

Yeah... Umm... I usually pay $300 a pair... Cuz my frames are fucked

Unless there is a promo going on

After a lot of shopping 😂

[polar fern]

dental & eye stuff should all be free because people deserve to be able to see things properly and be able to chew food properly as well.

But here we are.

[near nymph]

When I got quotes initially it was $600-800 a pair. So I put it off.

[steep girder]

Anyone know difd between color filter stereo glasses and polarity

[polar fern]

$800 for fuckin eye glasses JFC

[wispy marsh]

Does yours have magsafe?

[near nymph]

Btw I just need normal lenses. They aren't even expensive lenses.

[polar fern]

Bonkers

[wispy marsh]

My specs are $600

[near nymph]

Wat da fak?

[wispy marsh]

[steep girder]

Lol 800$ unless they have optics. Rip

[polar fern]

I may need glasses at some point, but I believe Medicaid will cover most of the cost

[steep girder]

Should be no more than 200. Even then thats brand....

[near nymph]

Canada healthcare I think only covers it if your a kid... With low income parents? I'm not 100%

[dusty rune]

when i buy glasses i get a birthday discount!

[near nymph]

Lmfao. Do you line it up for your birthday?

[dusty rune]

yes

[steep girder]

No optics are expensive because they get match to your eye lmfao

[wispy marsh]

Ovvo model 3905, screwless spectacle frame of aircraft-grade steel alloy, and zeiss prescription with bluelight filter + transition

[steep girder]

And both eyes usually different. Idk but perscription is expensive

[polar fern]

If you think the eyeglasses are expensive, just try to buy a wheelchair, CPAP machine, insulin pump, Eppipen or even orthotic inserts

People profiting off of disability is disgusting

[wispy marsh]

300 for the frame and 300 for the lenses

[dusty rune]

yikes, when i buy i pay 200 max

[steep girder]

I wouldnt buy wheelchair. Just screw bike wheels on chair lmfao

[polar fern]

Oh so you chose the fancy pants

[near nymph]

EpiPen are fucked. Insulin should be covered by Canadian healthcare. Wheelchair is eh...

The problem with wheelchairs, orthopedics, glasses, etc. Is medical certifications

[wispy marsh]

JerryRigEverything nonprofit wheelchair foudation

[near nymph]

I'm not saying Regulations are bad... But honestly for glasses... It doesn't take a PhD to figure out how to cut and slap into frames.

[polar fern]

Didn’t he get one of those stair climbing models for his wife?

[steep girder]

I heard a lady tried to get her claim for wheel chair in canada. They told her like euthanasia is now also covered so if youre mad kill yourself basically. Wtf she just wanted scooter or chair lmfao

Fuckn canada. Gotta love social benefits

[near nymph]

Wheelchairs should be tax deductible... Eh? Glasses to. But well... You need the money first

[polar fern]

Pay to exist

Like I understand that there is some artistry involved in some eyeglass making, but there should be a basic model for people to use that can adapt to their specific need that isn’t necessarily a luxury/fashion purchase on top of the functionality.

[steep girder]

No in ontario like its funded social program. People with disabilities entitled to whichever thing. Honestly I hate Ontario is the irony. I really fkn hate odsp for offering euthanasia to paralyzed person. Like wtf...

[near nymph]

Do ya know how fucking cheap glasses are in India? I got my glasses relensed for $30 CAD.

[steep girder]

Ill fund 9999999 socialized wheelchair people and run down gov just for saying that. Honestly I never minded helping somebody with that walk of life....

[polar fern]

@steep girder offering end of life care is not a big deal, but it definitely is insulting to deny wheelchair and instead suggest end of life care if that is, in fact, what happened

[steep girder]

Yeah but i mean it wasnt offered. I personally believe it's not up to us but meh. Too big a thing for me to feel like I have a say in. Who knows too...

But they legit offered it because they were made that benefit was delayed. Its a thing trust me...

[polar fern]

If someone is suffering and the suffering will never stop and possibly only get worse it should be absolutely up to them if they want end of life care. It’s very strange how we treat death as some scary taboo thing.

All of the world, and the universe is just one perpetual motion of continuous reactions and events. Life beginning and ending is simply part of that motion.

[steep girder]

Right thats perhaps too intense for me to judge. On one hand, I have beliefs, on the other, I can easily imagine myself eating my words

But it was some ridiculing shit idk. Kinda like bank rep telling you pleasure taking your money instead of bye..

[polar fern]

I believe in this segue to Lttstoredotcom

[steep girder]

She wasnt terminal. Just needed stairmaster to arrive already lol. Because entitled legally

Idk clear difference lol

If youre so mad about it may we suggest kill yourself basically..

[polar fern]

The linustech accessibility store .

[steep girder]

Idk man euthanasia kinda sketch. All they gotta do is say you consented or somehow plant evidence.

Now instead you wake up dead. Cool legal thing to have 👍

[polar fern]

My girlfriend picked out a sticker pack for herself when I ordered the two new desk pads.

That is not how it works 🤣

[steep girder]

And lol ontario supreme court and their antics

[steep girder]

Oh lol come to ON. Youll qyickly learn how DA cant be wrong because it looks bad in paper

Not that common I guess but happens. Hope youre not the guy who needs to be euthanized

[polar fern]

Only thing I know for sure about Canada is everything is singular.

The 401. The queen Elizabeth way. The escarpment.

[steep girder]

Canada is great. Free healthcare. Freedom. Come!

[polar fern]

I have been to Canada

[steep girder]

QEW isnt 401. But 401 is somewhere top 10 busiest hwy on earth still I think

[polar fern]

I know I’ve been on both

[steep girder]

Lmfao same

Literally had to blast music and do crazy stuff to stay sane 4 mo lol

[polar fern]

I took a train from Trenton New Jersey to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. It was really cool and a fun trip and I wish Covid could go away so I could renew my passport and go on the other train to Montréal.

[steep girder]

Omg that one tar bump like 5 cm high east but they just brought construction temp sign and didnt fix ever

Its might be something to make sparks fly if your suspension or shocks low enough. Thank god i never went at it >50kmph lol

Traffic saves lol

[polar fern]

The biggest surprise for me living in Pennsylvania, was the roads did not have any potholes in them. Even the roughest pavement was perfectly fine to drive and cycle on. I know Québec is definitely different in that regard.

[steep girder]

But my concern is if you show up at that spot, all you had to to was bring jackhammer instead of sign

Could have fixed. Nope like 99 pylons and sign for 2 years lol

[polar fern]

It’s probably an excavation that they overfilled

[steep girder]

Nah its a global thing. Its a schtick in Russia, States, Canada, wherever. So long as you have tax dollars on road lol

[polar fern]

Sometimes during roadworks they will overfill any excavations in the road surface because over time the weight of vehicles will compress it down. better to have a bump vs a dip because a dip will quickly turn into a pothole & be splashy full of rain water

[steep girder]

Road is best to fix without doing anything. Ofc Russia is extreme. Ontario aint seen sht yet lol

[fossil frost]

if you want to see how to fill pot holes badly, come to the uk... everything is done badly, and then we are charged up the arsehole for it... and then thats only if the local council can be bothered to fill them

[polar fern]

In Germany on the autobahn, they don’t do small patches, they replace whole sections as to not affect the stability of the road surface or the undergrade support

[steep girder]

Nah it was like tar and gravel bump on farthest left lane of 401. Around mississauga

[fossil frost]

near where i live, somebody started spray painting a dick and balls over the top of the worst pot holes that have not been filled... and the internet nicknamed them "wanksy"

[steep girder]

Going east from Hamilton

[polar fern]

I stayed in Hamilton - really lovely place

[steep girder]

Hamilton itself ye

[polar fern]

I enjoyed the entire trip and I could see myself living there if I had the means

I would probably want to live near the Hamilton go centre

[steep girder]

Lol yeah. Its crazy bubble. Close to NY state

Should pop one day lol. Hopefully before everyone goes bankrupt

Idk toronto looks like nyc like decade behind or so

[polar fern]

Well I’m poor and I’m American so there’s no way I could afford to move there. Just hiring a vehicle to move my stuff let alone paying for a place to live, would be astronomically beyond my budget.

[steep girder]

If it continues lol. On the other hand, imported labor idk

[steep girder]

Wait if youre US citizen...

[polar fern]

?

[steep girder]

Fl? :)

[polar fern]

Huh?

[steep girder]

Dont tell me you live in NY state.

[polar fern]

No … Pennsylvania

The keystone state, where you’ve got a friend

[steep girder]

Oh. Still idk i mean go to non-dem state. Opinions aside, you got US citizenship. I fail to see how moving to ON is any better than like TX or FL

[polar fern]

Also, the second state to sign the declaration of Independence after Delaware

Um

[steep girder]

Or Nevada apparently if your incorporated lol

[karmic pilot]

Hee hee

[polar fern]

There’s literally no comparison between those places & Ontario

[steep girder]

Lower tax idk. In Ontario to afford Hamilton mortgage, you gotta first pay like 30% income tax then ON health and pension which you cant opt out of lnfao

Well idk. Different opinions I guess

[polar fern]

if I were to move to Canada, it would definitely be to Hamilton. I like the city.

[steep girder]

If love to have even 5% of my sht taken not 30%

[polar fern]

Yeah, but you know having things actually work and function as a country I think it’s worth paying a bit more in taxes

[steep girder]

I mean might as well be anywhere ON. At least if you move to NY-like Canada province its the one with free healthcare

Idk its not bad

End of the day first world problems I guess lol

[polar fern]

Well, I stayed in Hamilton for like 10 days with my girlfriend at the time while she visited family.

I was tempted to buy a bag of milk and a milk bag pitcher, but you can’t take Canadian dairy across the border without some giant fee

[steep girder]

No its all nice. Like sulfur springs. South west ON between Huron and Toronto is like historically Mennonite turf

[polar fern]

Mhm

[steep girder]

Literally best beer and cider and oktoberfest you can find all of NA maybe lol

[polar fern]

I don’t drink alcohol, but I believe you

[steep girder]

Its also Canada lite btw. Southern most point in whole country lol

[polar fern]

There’s this place in Mississauga that I went to which had the best desserts I’ve ever had in my life from a chain restaurant

[steep girder]

But yeah its nice. The economy tho lol

[near nymph]

but the A car is already on the magically not there sidewalk?

Dang these drivers practice tests are silly.

[steep girder]

stop before sidewalk for sure. Then depending on left or right

[near nymph]

I said check to see if it's safe to do so. Since in the photo the mofo is already on the imaginary sidewalk

[steep girder]

Yeah just stop before everything lol

[near nymph]

I need to get my license... Dangit.

[steep girder]

Unless theres green traffic light tbh. Only case when pedestrian is in wrong

[polar fern]

You pull up to the stop sign if there is one, otherwise you pull to the end of the driveway apron. Turn signals as needed. Check for vehicles - proceed when safe.

You don’t stop for an empty sidewalk.

[near nymph]

Now... You need to if an instructor is looking

[polar fern]

?

[near nymph]

You gotta stop for a empty sidewalk according to ICBC

[polar fern]

Bizarre

[steep girder]

If theres no light or sign, you gotta stop if youre turning regardless. Fk the sidewalk.

[near nymph]

Well... They didn't mention empty. They just say you gotta stop lmfao

[polar fern]

Why would you stop twice for such a tiny distance?

[steep girder]

If youre going straight idk tbh. Hopefully one of you has stop lol

Or treat as all way is what id do personally i guess idk

[polar fern]

I am a complete streets and transportation equality advocate, and I say stopping for the empty sidewalk makes no sense.

All you’re doing is wasting brake and fuel and time

[steep girder]

Oh yeah speaking of equality I guess theres right of hand rule. Only two global understandings

Right of hand and stop all way.

After that its FFA. Why did they make seemingly uniform intersection with no sign lol

[polar fern]

And if the sidewalk is obstructed by a hedge or a wall or something that’s different

[steep girder]

Nah sidewalk isnt usually a thing either. Tbh wbl told pedestrian to cross lol

[merry gull]

So some psychotic motherfucker installed OBS on a laptop at Walmart and started streaming the webcam on Twitch for 10 hours straight.

[steep girder]

In ON, 4 way with no sign and worse yet sidewalk is glitch in matrix pretty sure

I mean irl make sure pedestrian isnt in front of car before advancing lol. I wouldnt even if i was in the right lmao

[plain dome]

[desert ivy]

Says banable words on stream. 😼

[steep girder]

Because pedestrian vs bumper is unfair dm

[desert ivy]

Or steal the stream key

[steep girder]

Nah its always light, stop one way or stop all way. If theres no sign, still something has to indicate right of way

[merry gull]

Twitch took it down for violating something, not too sure what but there's WAYYYY worse things on twitch than that

[steep girder]

Ped must cross when the law by happenstance tells them its safe to do so tbb lol

[fossil frost]

unoriginal.. done that, but worse... many times 😄

done worse than that too

a bunch of the laptops in currys (the chain electronics store in the uk), were not in kiosk mode, and we logged in to a admin account with no passwords... so i switched all their browser home pages to p-hub... and then added a password to the admin account, and set a group policy blocking the home page of IE from being changed (we are talking several years ago now)

hooked all the cameras up to live stream to some russian website for people who make money from being on camera... 😄

installed apps that made alarms go off at random times throughout the day

(these are all separate occasions over a few years)

GAME used to have all of their display wall TVs be the same TV i had at home... so i took the remote into the store and changed the input channel to regular tv 😄

[desert ivy]

Why? That's not funny. Only obnoxious and could even expose underage people to inappropriate material.

[fossil frost]

because now, they lock down everything into kiosk mode, password all the accounts on the display models, and have nation wide policies to make sure stuff like this doesnt happen... the same as any company that gets hit by any sort of attack.. and these are the sort of attacks that people made against companies 15 years ago

if the attack isnt blatent and obvious, it wont get dealt with in a real way

and... it was pretty funny too

like right now... costa coffee in the uk.... they have a bug/exploit in their rewards system, where you can buy 1 drink, and rather than collecting 1 stamp, you can get 16 stamps (2 free drinks)... i tried to responsibly disclose this to them, but they are not interested

so now, any time i buy a coffee, i get 2 free coffees

[merry gull]

i-

someone put this man in solitary confinement

[desert ivy]

That's the dumbest justification for sociopathic behavior I've ever seen.

[fossil frost]

i got free coffee from starbucks for about 18 months a few years ago too... they made the fucking stupid decision that.. you top up your account via the app, and when you scan the QR code at the till... somehow... it tells your phone to deduct the amount from your account... which requires an internet connection... so if you simply disconnected your phone from wifi/mobile network, the app still generates a qr code, but you never get charged for the coffee...

[merry gull]

LMFAO that's hilarious omg. W devs

[fossil frost]

they DID accept my responsible disclosure, but said it would take an effort to fix.. and they paid me for it too... but i did then continue to use it to get free coffee.. 😄

[merry gull]

they... they paid you to have a coffee?

[fossil frost]

they paid me a bug bounty for showing them this problem in their system. and then after accepting the money and signing a contract to say i wont disclose the exploit until AFTER its fixed... i continued to use the exploit because they didnt say i couldnt

[merry gull]

true that

man if i got paid a bug bounty from discord's shitty ios app i'd be rich

[fossil frost]

the last 3 companies i have worked for... in the weeks before i started, i attempted to attack their software, found holes in all 3 places, disclosed properly. and. in one of them (my current role), i disclosed during my interview, as part of my interview 😄 and in all 3 places, my first job as my "get familiar with the code" was to fix those bugs 😄

[merry gull]

lucky you

should teach me, is a great practice for the route im going rn

[dusty rune]

idk if you should admit to this online

digital footprint gonna be crazy

[fossil frost]

why? i dont really care... it was 15 years ago

[merry gull]

i admitted to fucking with my school wifi gaining access to it like four times, then getting staff wifi access due to their exposed passwords in the PUBLIC active directory lmao

[fossil frost]

tbh, the thing that SHOULD worry me is all the murders ive done

[merry gull]

i-

oki

[fallen maple]

Hello Can Any Of u guys help me i have a pretty decent system around 2 year old. i have a cv 650 watt power supply and i have a i5 10400f and i have a 1660 super and i have 16 gb of ddr4 ram 3200 mhz and 500 gb ssd. i want to upgrade my gpu dont know if i should do 6650 xt or 6700 xt cause of the 4 gb more vram and not that much more money but i dont know that much about pc so i dont know if i can use the 6700xt with my powersupply again its a cosair cv650.

[fossil frost]

ive had both the 6600xt and the 6750xt (the 6750xt is cheaper and more powerful)... 6600xt would be more suitable to your PSU, because i had the same PSU, and got MASSIVE coil whine from it when i installed the 6750xt, and had to replace the PSU, but the 6600xt was absolutely fine (and is also fine with the same PSU in my sons pc right now)

[merry gull]

that's a heavier crime to falsify grades, especially getting the grade system unauthorised
my school IT dept is smart, butttttt they made one mistake. the substitute teacher account, okay... they put the password in the description and you'll never guess the password

it was deadass abcd1234

[desert ivy]

I figured how to bypass the school computer firewall by messing with the registry. Although nowadays you probably can just google it lol

[merry gull]

i love how were just admitting the shit we've done casually and no one ain't doing a thing

[merry gull]

group policy exists, it's restricted in my district now :(

[fossil frost]

none of what i did is/was against the law... (except for the murders)

[merry gull]

my staff wifi is a radius server (username and password)
substitute teacher account

[merry gull]

you definitely live in the UK

[desert ivy]

Yeah back then computer security was more lax, expecially since there was a lot of security by obscurity. Nowadays, if a security software becomes popular a TikTok will teach you how to fix it.

[merry gull]

im swallowing up all the carcinogens canada is making rn
i love pennsylvania

[fallen maple]

okay so u would say 6600xt btw my motherboard is z490 asus tuf im pretty sure. i was going for 6650xt but then i was thing about 6700 xt cause like not much more value and 4 more gb vram wbut what do u think

Im from denmark im 15 so my english is not the best when it comes to spelling:(

[fossil frost]

if you are playing 1080p, 6600xt is plenty, 6650xt is an overclocked 6600xt

[desert ivy]

Get the 6700xt

[merry gull]

don't you dare say the joke.

[fossil frost]

dont buy a 6700xt... buy a 6750xt if you are getting a 67something... the 50 is cheaper and faster

[merry gull]

✏️

[desert ivy]

Yeah get the best GPU you can afford a 650watt GPU is more than enough

[merry gull]

vienna sausage

now u make it seem like i do drugs

thankfully it wasn't the joke i expected so u... idk if i should pass or fail you

[fallen maple]

i just look and the cheapest 6750 xt i could find is 90 dollar more than the cheapest 6700xt i could find

[merry gull]

you're right, but you know who is?
the people from our sponsor, brilliant!
sorry

[manic torrent]

Which is good, because I find your lack of grammar disturbing

[merry gull]

[fallen maple]

Guys all keep it real with 650 watt and z490 i want to upgrade to 6700xt or 6650xt or what should i do?

[graceful burrow]

Buy a mcdouble

[fallen maple]

to expensive

[graceful burrow]

Buy a single patty mcburg

[fallen maple]

to cheap

[glossy crest]

guys whats good, quadro k2200 or gtx 750ti?

[graceful burrow]

Single patty mcburg with one extra slice of cheese

[glossy crest]

w

[fallen maple]

@fossil frost what do i do the 6600xt 6650xt 6700xt cause cheapest 6750xt i could find is nearly 100dollars more then 6700xt

[merry gull]

That's reminded me
I ordered a big mac without the big mac bun, thinking it was the bun in the middle
sooo i removed it and i was served EVERYTHING except the bun, in a plastic container...

[graceful burrow]

Duh

[desert ivy]

Get the 6700xt. It's perfect for your system

[fossil frost]

6600xt is plenty for 1080p, and you can more or less OC it to a 6650xt. i went for the 6750xt because its over-requirement for what i want, so i can crank settings and have a little room to spare

[fallen maple]

Aight Lome question does the cv 650 have the pin that support 6700xt cause when i search it up i get the answer but im, new to this stuff so idk

[desert ivy]

Yeah, it uses standard PCIE commectors

[merry gull]

mmmm commectors
i like that typo a lot actually
communications

[fossil frost]

depending on the card, its 2x 8pin, or 1x8 and 1x6 or 2x6pin... (different cards have different pins, must just be whatever was left in the bin)... but they are all standard pcie connectors and your psu should have 2x 6+2 connectors, allowing them to be either 6 pin or 8 pin

[fallen maple]

this it what it has i think. Interfaces/Ports SATA Connectors: 7 CPU Connectors: 1 x 4+4-pin EPS PCI Connectors: 2 x 6+2-pin PCIe Motherboard Connectors: 1 x 20+4-pin ATX Molex Connectors: 2 Floppy Connectors: 1 x Floppy.

QTY Cable Total connectors
1 ATX Cable 24 pin 1
1 EPS/ATX12V 8 pin (4+4) cable 1
1 PCIe 8 pin (6+2) cable 2
2 SATA Cable (3 SATA) 6

[desert ivy]

Yep that works

[fallen maple]

so with that i can use the 6700 xt

[graceful burrow]

What does it matter

[fallen maple]

yo lome what would u say it the best 6700xt brand?

[graceful burrow]

It's mostly new pc builders with a few regulars who know stuff and a few regulars that talk like they know stuff but know jack shit

[desert ivy]

Idk about AMD brands. The cheapest one you can get

[graceful burrow]

He's right

[fallen maple]

WHY?

[graceful burrow]

Because they're all built well

[timid meadow]

Everyone thinks their the funniest person ever their first day here huh?

[graceful burrow]

Yeah

[timid meadow]

Says every new member

[graceful burrow]

Falls into the latter category

[timid meadow]

Trying to not be the ass that just assumes your a troll

Yes you can?

Keyboard and mouse like normal?

[graceful burrow]

They're named after a mass killer ofc they're a troll

They're here to do nothing but shitpost

I recently applied for a job and I got it so I’ll try out for a short period and then I’ll decide

[timid meadow]

Sounds like a you problem. I prefer a large screen to a laptop in the bedroom

We know what you are talking about. We just know you are challenged

[full fossil]

is it normal my gaming laptop is reaching 87c in furmark

[graceful burrow]

Yes

[desert ivy]

Yes

[full fossil]

As a wise man once said; don't get a gaming laptop

[desert ivy]

You can play in bed with it but resting it in your chest 😂

[timid meadow]

Its only a gaming laptop till next year when its beat up and non upgradable

[full fossil]

its already reaching 34c over here do you want me to be a nuclear reactor

[desert ivy]

Idk about the AMD Manufacturers

[full fossil]

yep, don't get a gaming laptop unless its required

A 4090 laptop you get a computer that gives you 4070ti desktop performance for 4 times the price

[full fossil]

too less info, maybe they want to game?

[full fossil]

lol

get a damn steam deck or rog ally

[timid meadow]

On a more fun note, will i piss off windows for some weird if i "hotswap" between 10 and 11? As in installing 11 to a new drive for testing on main then just swapping back to the old ssd. Would it throw a fit about games or programs or data on my other drives?

[full fossil]

if you want to play cp with full RT just use the steam streaming thing

just get a portable monitor and very long cord lol

[graceful burrow]

Nah I've been doin it

[desert ivy]

Get a TV haha why do you care about 4k content on a laptop

[full fossil]

no gaming laptop is doing 4k gaming

[timid meadow]

Awesome. Means i can do whatever i please then reset as soon as i break something when the wife needs it

[desert ivy]

He said he doesn't care about gaming so all it remains is movies.

[full fossil]

who the hell wants a 4k laptop?

[timid meadow]

Everytime i break something "babe why doesnt this work"

Well because you havent used it in 6 months so i decided to play with it and apparently we both have terrible timing

[full fossil]

just get a laptop with high PPI

msi titans with 4k monitors exist, but don't expect the battery to last more than 2 hours lmao

[desert ivy]

There's a middle ground between 4k and 1080p that doesn't need a 10kilogram 17inch beast with shitty battery life.

A 4k display to watch YouTube? What's the point. At least with movies it made sense.

[full fossil]

most 4k laptops are 17 inches

[timid meadow]

Are 1440p laptops a thing or did we just skip 2k and jump on 4k?

[near nymph]

[full fossil]

they are

what kind of screen size do you want

[scenic epoch]

a few other activities

[desert ivy]

Not exactly 1440p but yeah they are a thing

For years now

[timid meadow]

Well yea, its 4x (that may be wrong?) the pixels, its gunna make a difference at any size

[full fossil]

16 inch oled 4k laptops are much less expensive

[desert ivy]

You have tried 4k and 1080p. You have 0 idea what you are talking about because you haven't tried the most popular 15 or 13inch 2k.

[timid meadow]

And you can definitely go back to 1080p. Different devices for different usecases, gamin is gamin

Ill game at 360p for all i care

[full fossil]

how about you get a portable monitor

[desert ivy]

Well if you are coding from bed sure you need the screen real estate. But most people code from a desk lol

[timid meadow]

Eh tbf by the time you stretch to portable monitor (in this specific usecase), you may as well just get a bigass tv

A portable would be worse then the tv for laying in bed

Then you still need a device to display on the portable

[desert ivy]

Ideally you have the best device for each task. Like a Desktop, a Laptop, and a good phone or tablet. But guess that's just too expensive.

[timid meadow]

I keep trying to use a laptop, but keep falling back to using my phone as my sole portable out of sheer convenience. Laptops stay in the home/homelab

[desert ivy]

For work I don't know why I like programming from a comfy couch. Rather than a desktop with extra screens.

But on the bed I use my phone. Having a laptop on the bed is something I never could get used to

Maybe if I had MacBook air

[timid meadow]

Couch gaming is the best. Most pc games nowadays support controller, steam covers those that dont

Peripheral tables exist to sit in your lap if you want mkb

[desert ivy]

Yeah last two games I've played had been on the couch and they worked perfectly. Even Diablo 4 worked perfectly good with a controller

[timid meadow]

Thought about swapping to mkb. If i do itll be one of those 1/4 keyboard macro pads or whatever tho instead of a full kb
