[long briar]

gamers want to spend less while gaining more, datacenters want functionality first

[lucid echo]

I'm talking YoY % growth

[vapid zephyr]

So you're saying Nvidias sales grew by 860% minimum pre GPT craze

[dreamy rose]

profit not sales

[vapid zephyr]

So you're saying their profit grew by 860%

[long briar]

if a brand can provide solutions that are 99% reliable while being most performant, datacenters would pay just about anything for it

[dreamy rose]

i can see AMD struggle to get into a lot of places. because there will always be that 40% not willing to use AMD

[vapid zephyr]

And I don't care if you meant profit or not, they were talking about sales

[long briar]

when it doesn't work ofc

[vapid zephyr]

Stop twisting the argument for your non-existant benefit

Regardless if they meant sales or profit or not anyways, 860% minimum doesn't make sense

[lucid echo]

the point is, datacenters are, and always have been, the real customers. by multitudes.

their prime directive is profit and DC's give that to them

[plush rivet]

ah
public chat looks like public chat right now

[dreamy rose]

no. in general there's some people who have a hatred for the idea of using AMD. they wont ever get to become a near monopoly like Nvidia because of this distrust towards AMD.

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah, Bionic being Bionic again and talking shit he doesn't know about

[dusky jacinth]

I think they could make something that works, but since everyone else already's kinda planted in, they'd have to do something in a way the others cannot respond to in a way that is within reason of cost, volume, let alone flexibility to be worth it. So yeah, that's a tricky road to go down.

[plush rivet]

lol
i dont even wanna know the reasons

[lucid echo]

What's new!

[dusky jacinth]

Though I do appreciate them trying anyway, giving us more options and solutions.

[plush rivet]

this is per usual so
not shocked at all

[lucid echo]

I miss being a kid, and thinking I had everything figured out & that my choices where the best choices

[dreamy rose]

i wouldn't doubt that they could do it. it is a tall task though

[sullen depot]

I just got a Ryzen 5800x3d. I've never bought a cpu cooler before. What should I look for?

Other than of course aRGB

[plush rivet]

peerless assassin is fine

[median idol]

That's pub chat's Moto

[manic torrent]

custom loop 😄

[sullen depot]

Custom loop seems out of my skill level

[vapid zephyr]

Sanic was talking about how AMD had a sales increase in datacenter sales by around 86%, Bionic goes 'if you add a few Zeroes', which means moron's saying Nvidia had a datacenter sales increase of 860% minimum

Which, surprise surprise, would be by far the largest increase in sales in human history for a company their size and yes, doesn't make any fucking sense

[manic torrent]

it's not that hard, but yeah, you probably don't want it

[lucid echo]

Don't ever do it

[dreamy rose]

cooling doesnt matter too much. going for like massive water-cooling isn't gonna give you another 30% improvement or something. unless you buy into Intel's heat dumping power consuming 13th gen stuff.

[median idol]

Oh man you don't want to know how much I've spent on my recent loop

[manic torrent]

because....

[pulsar violet]

Would it be fine to take a picture in-front of LMG offices? (not disturb filming, be a nuisance or anything)

[plush rivet]

😂

[vapid zephyr]

$1200

[plush rivet]

its fully legal
go ahead

[median idol]

Warm

[manic torrent]

I've spent more on my loop than on my video card

[plush rivet]

unless of course its closed property
other than that free rien

[dreamy rose]

i guess if you go and take a picture thats fine., you just shouldnt be loud or that stuff.

[pulsar violet]

Yea true, it would be cool, I’m like 15 km out

[median idol]

$1400

[sullen depot]

All I have is a stock cooler from a Ryzen 5 2600. Would that suffice?

[median idol]

Roughly

[pulsar violet]

Yea not disturb filming nor anything or be a douche

[manic torrent]

no

[pulsar violet]

It’s a plaza I think for businesses

[vapid zephyr]

Not illegal in Canada, it'd just be a bit weird

[dreamy rose]

probably not. you might wanna go for the Wraith stealth cooler at minimum

[lucid echo]

I've spoken about it at length, you can search my post history to read more, cuz I gotta go. TLDR is, as you're aware, it's an expensive time-consuming rabbit hole with virtually no benefit aside from looks and pride.
(I've been doing custom WC for ten years and have three WC machines in my home rn, so I'm not talking out of my ass)

[vapid zephyr]

Eyy, more than average but gotta be worth it

[sullen depot]

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB CPU Air Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes Cpu cooler, ? Does this work

[pulsar violet]

Yea pssh

[lucid echo]

anyways buh bye

[sullen depot]

I found it on Amazon

[plush rivet]

thats fine

[dreamy rose]

peerless assasin is pretty good.

[pulsar violet]

It’s past office hours online it says anyways

[sullen depot]

Good cuz I did not want to spend a crazy amount of money. It's like $35

[manic torrent]

not true at all! it also has sound benefits. 😉

[vapid zephyr]

Just don't piss anyone off, since calling the cops and declaring you a trespasser is a thing they can do within 30 seconds

[dreamy rose]

i seriously dont get how intel can fuck up a cooler this bad. AMDs cooler is hella better

[ebon otter]

i jsut downloaded a 30gb game in 30 minutes. normnallely with my old router it would take 10 hours

[pulsar violet]

There are many businesses in the plaza, I’m not going to be a douchebag lol

[dusky jacinth]

They're kinda better now, just... Well, looks are subjective and the noise is probably gonna take someone who's not going to care that it's running right next to them when it's really going.

[manic torrent]

(seriously a big decent watercooling setup is significantly quieter)

[vapid zephyr]

I'm just saying, the entire plot including street and parking lot is private property, so it's an easy thing to do

Plus a lot of people are saying they're 'not gonna be douchebags' and then they later hit police in the face bruh

But yeah, they likely won't care

[dusky jacinth]

Though that top-end one leaves me scratching my hair out in confusion.

[vapid zephyr]

I have no idea what that kind of black magic that is, but sure, why not

[lucid echo]

I agree, mine is virtually silent (2x480mm and 2x360mm, 500rpm fans). But at what cost? I don't even wanna think about it.

[dreamy rose]

yeah its less about the looks more of the functionality. you'd be better off putting a square of copper on it than the intel stock cooler. AMD's stock ccooler is perfectly good for the x600 and maybe x700 parts and below.

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah, Aki's female friend bought a watercooling rig due to her incredibly sensitive ears

So she paid $8,000 for a questionable system

[sullen depot]

CPU coolers are universal right? I'll be able to use this one going forward on future builds right?

[vapid zephyr]

As long you get a fitting bracket for future sockets, yes

[manic torrent]

Cost is not the primary driver of my build though

[dreamy rose]

i'm pretty sure they are. at least in all reasonable situations

[median idol]

Here are my watercooling components that are in there lol:
CPU Block: Watercool Heatkiller IV Pro LGA 1700 Black Copper with Heavy Backplate
GPU Block: Watercool Heatkiller V Pro RTX 4090 FE Acteal Nickel
Rads: × 2 Watercool Heatkiller Rad 480-S
Watercool Heatkiller Rad 360-S
Tubing 1: Bitspower 14MM Acrylic
Tubing 2: Tygon A-60-G (3/8" ID, 5/8" OD)
Fittings: Bitspower Black Sparkle
Reservoir: Watercool Heatkiller Tube 200 MP D5
Pump: Watercool WCP D5-PWM
Fluid: Distilled Water with Mayhems Inhibitor+ and Hades+

[dusky jacinth]

Their Prism is impressive, honestly. The rgb is... Eh.
But everything else about it (besides when it's going full-bore) is good.

[sullen depot]

Neat thank you guys. I legit have no idea what I'm doing so

[lucid echo]

Me neither homie. I've addressed all this like 5 times in the past if you wanna go digging

[vapid zephyr]

You didn't even particularly go ham either, could've gone much more expensive

[lucid echo]

It's just not worth it for 99.9% of people who are interested in it

[dreamy rose]

eh. nobody needs RGB anyway

[fierce moth]

rgb = more fps

[dreamy rose]

its just a nice to have at best.

[manic torrent]

I really don't think so. like... I don't fundamentally disagree, but I think it's more like 80%

[dreamy rose]

and then thats Subjective too. i am not a fan of RGB.

[lucid echo]

Sure man, don't take what I'm saying too literally

[manic torrent]

whereas ALL my fans are RGB.

[vapid zephyr]

Is your crane RGB though

[manic torrent]

not yet, but it absolutely will be

[vapid zephyr]

Sick

[sullen depot]

Ryzen 5800X3D should last me a while right

[dreamy rose]

yeah. because that's your taste. we are opposites on the spectrum of RGB love and not love i guess

[sullen depot]

Or should I have just upgraded from am4 at this point

[median idol]

Getting the three rads to fit was not an easy task in the 7000D (especially with them being 30mm thick with T30s). It was a tight fit as the side rad to front rad is connected with only fittings

[dusky jacinth]

It just depends on what you do and expect out of what you do in coming times.

[dreamy rose]

i mean if you want to keep your motherboard and just upgrade then AM5 is good. but the 5800X3D is still a really good CPU

[dusky jacinth]

I'd say it certainly would if gaming is all you do.

[vapid zephyr]

Depends on what you play, but usually only worth going to if you're already on AM4 anyway

[dreamy rose]

Productivilty its a little lacking cause of clocks

[dusky jacinth]

^Of course there's that.

[manic torrent]

my bottom rad in the O11 is a 40mm I think. It's thicccccc

[dreamy rose]

you could get away with waiting for Ryzen 8000 or 9000 for your upgrade. Zen5 and 6 are lookin nice

[sullen depot]

Yeah I might honestly just skip the AM5 generation

[median idol]

Here's the area in question

[dreamy rose]

especially on the APU side,

[dreamy rose]

we dont know how long it will last. but it might be a whole 5 gens that AM5 lasts.

[manic torrent]

... wut?

[sullen depot]

Also if you guys can help, My clock speeds on my RAM are atrocious, it's supposed to be running at 3200 but all 64 gigs are running at 1067 MB

32 gigs sorry

[dreamy rose]

we dont know how long AM5 will live. but in the case it lasts till 11000 then you are gonna need to upgrade to AM5 sometime.

[sullen depot]

4 sticks of 8

[vapid zephyr]

Sounds rough, but if it worked out whatever

[lucid echo]

AMD explicitly said 2026 is the end year of AM5

They announced that like a month ago

[dreamy rose]

running in Dual Channel will limit ram speeds a little bit but this is too far

[sullen depot]

Yeah I could go until AM6

[manic torrent]

what socket lasted 5 CPU generations.

[vapid zephyr]

Wah, whatever, if it comes down to it a clear ziptie will do

[dreamy rose]

AM4?

[sullen depot]

Am4 did didn't it

[sullen depot]

Pls halp

[dreamy rose]

we arent talking intel here bob

[dusky jacinth]

That's gonna be few years or so if AMD really keeps to their promises, that is unless they decide to extend it even further if things change later, which we might never know till that happens.

[lucid echo]

AMD skipped 4000 series as an AM4 desktop cpu

[dreamy rose]

there are 4000 series processers arent there?

[lucid echo]

For laptop, yeah, but they aren’t AM4

[manic torrent]

nope

[strong kettle]

theres 4000 series AM4 desktop cpus

[dreamy rose]

AM4 Lasted 5 generations.

[lucid echo]

Regardless, AMD explicitly said 2026 is when AM5 ends

[vapid zephyr]

Hm? Yes

[dusky jacinth]

We got some last gen FX-based APUS for the start of AM4, I think?
Then Ryzen 1000 through 5000.

[manic torrent]

no, AM4 had 4 generations, and a bunch of assorted different stuff going on

[sullen depot]

Why do they keep skipping numbers

[dreamy rose]

5. because there are 4000 series desktop chips.

[dusky jacinth]

Which throughout basically was Zen 1, Zen 1+, Zen 2, Zen 2... Something maybe, Zen 3, and then stopped there.

[vapid zephyr]

That doesn't really make it a generation lmao

[manic torrent]

... which are not a different generation.

[dreamy rose]

6000 was a laptop refresh of 5000, which was a good idea because fuck Vega

though the gap on desktop is a little strange.

[sullen depot]

Yeah so why are my four sticks of 8 GB running at 1067mhz lol

What do

[dusky jacinth]

Though regardless, yeah, AM4 lasted a long while, from 2016 to 2022 officially.

That's 6 years.

[dreamy rose]

why didnt you just go Dual Channel 2x16?

[sullen depot]

Oh would that have been better

I already had the two sticks and then was given two more

[dreamy rose]

they are releasing the 5100 and the 5600x3d

[dreamy rose]

ah i see then yeah you would have wasted money not using it

[dusky jacinth]

Which feels like last-minute stock.

... But then again...

[lucid echo]

AM5 sadly ends in 2026, which is a shorter lifespan

[vapid zephyr]

Because it is, they literally said that themselves

[sullen depot]

Yeah so my 5800 X3D should last until am6 for sure

[dusky jacinth]

Though that may just depend on how things change going forwards.

[dreamy rose]

i mean they are bad bin recycle parts. but it will be good to have some cheaper options again

[sullen depot]

Otherwise why did I just buy it lol

[dreamy rose]

yeah. definitely. unless all of a sudden 8 core becomes completely obsolete.

highly unlikely to ever happen

it happens eventually not just overnight

[sullen depot]

By the time I upgrade am6 should be matured and affordable

[dusky jacinth]

If something turns up or they come to a different realization of what to do with the platform, they might potentially extend it's lifespan. I'd imagine no less than an extra year though, but again, largely depends on what happens later.

[sullen depot]

So I'm hoping to get at least 5 years out of this

[dreamy rose]

easily doable

[neon mesa]

i mean 4 core lasted for like 15 years or so

[dusky jacinth]

That depends on your upgrade cycle and what you're going to do going forwards.

[dreamy rose]

not really. its only cause of Intel.

[vapid zephyr]

Oh yeah, for sure

[sullen depot]

I don't know I was rocking with Ryzen 5 2600 for until now

[dreamy rose]

intel gave us 4 core for too long

[manic torrent]

I tend to upgrade ... often. I have been through 3-4 GPUs and CPUs over the last three years

[dusky jacinth]

When did you get it?

[sullen depot]

It was current so I don't know whenever it was coming out

[dreamy rose]

because you are money man

[vapid zephyr]

Same, I'm not gonna lie lmao

[neon mesa]

i went through like 3 in under a year

[dreamy rose]

sounds like circa 2018

[dusky jacinth]

So basically back in 2018.

[sullen depot]

Yeah probably then

[dreamy rose]

1000 was 2017

[dusky jacinth]

Hmm...

[vapid zephyr]

Went from a 7900X to a 10900K to a 5950X to a 13900K within 6 years, shit was wild

[sullen depot]

I just want my mouse scroll wheel to stop doing weird things

[median idol]

I'm probably going to keep my 5950X rig for a couple more years at least

[dreamy rose]

must make for an effective Space heater/ Entertainment hub then

[sullen depot]

It goes up instead of down sometimes

Like jumps a whole page up

[strong kettle]

my 13600K is already a space heater lol

[neon mesa]

i'll get whatever good CPU in 2027 lel

[eager notch]

Is it just me or does 90 bucks seem like a lot for a hoodie?

[sullen depot]

It's designer

[vapid zephyr]

Yup, even most more expensive merch hoodies are around 80

[dreamy rose]

@eager notch have you ever met Wilma Cocquefiet?

[neon mesa]

considering they can afford such a huge discount probably

[sullen depot]

30 isn't bad for a hoodie though

[manic torrent]

not really, I upgraded my CPU because the 5700x was $300 aud

[vapid zephyr]

Nah, they're fine

[neon mesa]

manufacturing cost is never big for these stuff, it's the design that's expensive

[dusky jacinth]

I went from a 68030, to a PPC G3, to a P4 (forgot the model), then an i3-380m, and now I'm on an R5 3600.

[manic torrent]

and the 5700x is replacing a 3700X I bought second hand with my X570

[dreamy rose]

the 13900K? nah that shit breathes fire.

[manic torrent]

I've spent more on watercooling.

[dreamy rose]

i guess you could say i'm on 2 CPUs atm. an i5 2450M and the Pentium Silver N5000

[sullen depot]

You guys are crazy I'm just trying to play Minecraft with Ray tracing on

[strong kettle]

my watercooling is worth more than my CPU :\

[dreamy rose]

i'm trying to just play Minecraft. cant do shit on Sandy Bridge

[vapid zephyr]

I did have systems before that, my entire timeline was 2700K -> 3960X -> 4960X -> 5960X -> 7900X -> 10900K -> 5950X -> 13900K

[manic torrent]

mine is worth more than I spent on my CPU and GPU

[sullen depot]

All on my big screen 4k TV

[strong kettle]

:\

[sullen depot]

What even is a monitor

[eager notch]

Like I'm not saying they should sell them for cost, because they obviously need to make money, but that's getting into entry level hardshell jacket price from REI or Columbia

[manic torrent]

I have a 48" oled monitor 🙂

[vapid zephyr]

Nah
Even if it did, I have A/C anyway so idc

[dusky jacinth]

Seems like you had a more diversified processor adventure than I got. That's actually pretty cool.

[sullen depot]

Yeah and I have a 75-in TV

[median idol]

Mine cost less than the GPU that's in the loop (4090 FE)

[strong kettle]

funny i have a 1080p 75hz monitor

[sullen depot]

NOLED

[median idol]

Like about $200 less

[dreamy rose]

good question. we'll have to think about it harder soon too

[manic torrent]

which you sit across the room from 😛

[dusky jacinth]

I have two 1440p IPS monitors, which works for me.

[sullen depot]

Currently it's in my living room and I sit on my couches

[neon mesa]

as much as i love LTT, their merch is obviously overpriced
but LTT isn't really a clothing production company and economy of scale is not on their side so you can somewhat excuse them a little bit

[vapid zephyr]

For some reason we thought having Intel X-SKUs was kewl, so we went with it

Then realized that's fucking dumb and then dropped it

[manic torrent]

oh, I have two of those too 😉

[eager notch]

Type of lizard

[dusky jacinth]

[sharp cradle]

some of it, like the water bottles are good deals tbh

[manic torrent]

Their merch is expensive. I wouldn't necessarily say it's overpriced, because it is decent quality.

[neon mesa]

there are many also good quality bottles for less

you are obviously paying for the LTT branding which is fine

[sullen depot]

I'm not spoiled with fancy high refresh displays or perfect blacks or HDR. I got my 75-in TV for like 350 bucks

[neon mesa]

but it is very much overpriced if you are just looking for function

[sullen depot]

Big screen go brrrrr

[sharp cradle]

for less than $30? that's about the price for a decent insulated bottle in my experience

[lucid echo]

If someone's just looking for function, they're not the target audience

[neon mesa]

which is what i said

[dreamy rose]

i'd gladly pay more if i can ha ve a bottle in cream scream

[neon mesa]

it's overpriced just for function and you are paying for the brand which is fine

[eager notch]

I have a $15 bottle from Walmart that works just as well as my LTT bottle

[sullen depot]

Fit is the most important thing to me. I just want to look good in my clothes. Then comes comfort.

[dusky jacinth]

Mine aren't exactly considered "fancy". In fact, they're mostly just the best recommended options for the value.

[lucid echo]

You're also paying for proper labor conditions, better materials, overengineering, in addition to the brand
All very optional things when buying stuff

[dusky jacinth]

Also, after having used big screens for monitors before... They don't work out, at least for me anyway.

[sullen depot]

I don't take care of my things so I usually don't splurge on high end stuff

[dusky jacinth]

So much eyestrain.

[neon mesa]

in term of materials there are definitely competition

and for labor, do LTT manufacture it in house or what

[sullen depot]

LTT contracts manufacturers

[lucid echo]

They've delayed/canceled products based on impromptu inspections of factory conditions

[eager notch]

Buy darn tough socks, they have a lifetime warranty, if ya get a hole in them, you can exchange them for a like pair

[sullen depot]

Is that the brand name lmao

[misty scarab]

what is the appropriate course of action when your team looses at football?

Anger Tea?
Riot?
Get #rigged trending on twitter?

[lucid echo]

• source assembly locally in canada, which isn't cheap

[neon mesa]

it's best to treat LTT stuff as what they are, merch,a high quality one, but a merch regardless

[eager notch]

Dial M for Murder

[lucid echo]

Absolutely I agree, but I think it's a bit disingenuous to say you're only paying for the brand, compared to some cheapo amazon alternative

[misty scarab]

the cheating refs

[neon mesa]

you are indeed paying for the brand
well, and the fact that western labor is overpriced thanks to exorbitant living cost of the western world

[eager notch]

Nope, they have a loom to knit T-shirts in the back of the warehouse

[dusky jacinth]

Set to self destruct, nuke your whole neighborhood, blame it on the winning team.

[lucid echo]

emphasis on only paying for the brand. there are other components, as I listed before

[misty scarab]

Panama nuked my city

Oh wait I know, the US can just unbuild their canal

[dusky jacinth]

[neon mesa]

from consumer perspective, there's not many reason to get an LTT product other than wanting a merch
as there are many competition that match their quality

the screw driver is one example, since the megapro one (well ltt one is based on it afterall) is half price and basically as good

[sullen depot]

Okay but did any of you get a Shiny Moltres today on Pokemon go

[dusky jacinth]

No and I don't care.

[sullen depot]

U would care if you knew he had perfect stats

[eager notch]

I mean the US for a time considered using nuclear bombs for Earth moving projects to build canals or dams

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Plowshare

[dusky jacinth]

No, I would've gone straight back into FireRed or Blue, found it again, and killed it... Again.

[misty scarab]

Is it possible to Undo a canal

[sullen depot]

There are no shiny pokémon in blue version

[neon mesa]

same thing you do when doing sea reclamation

[dusky jacinth]

And I don't care about that either.

[eager notch]

Nuke enough of panama and it just becomes a Straight like the straight of Gibraltar

Or just fill it back in

[lucid echo]

That's a fair assessment. I personally go for them more for the ethical sourcing & functionality more than the branding (I avoid heavily-branded merch in general).
Personally, if I'm buying something, it's a big bonus if the money to be going to something I support (e.g. Awesome Socks Club, t shirts from my favorite band, etc). If that means I'm paying marginally more than another seller with the same level of labor ethics/materials/features, so be it.
I only take issue when folks claim they can just get a $40 backpack on amazon and the only difference is the logo on it.

[misty scarab]

Hi yes, President Biden, Could you refill the panama canal for me

[neon mesa]

which is paying for the brand basically or equivalence (the favorite band example)
and for labor conditions, when's the last time someone consider that for their purchase (if you do, that's cool)

not many is financially sound enough to care about those

[lucid echo]

I 100% agree, it's a privelege to take those into consideration

I won't shame anyone for getting a cheap sweatshop backpack

[manic torrent]

"when's the last time someone consider that for their purchase" all the time - you're making the same fallacial argument others were making before, that every cultural context is the same. And even if someone can't afford to be more ethical (which is absolutely a thing) they can still consider it and be aware. Obviously, there's no ethical consumption under capitalism.

[gilded quest]

yeah
the tshirts and water bottles are "expensive", but fine
You're buying those to support ltt

[neon mesa]

which has been my whole point bruh

you buy to support the brand

anyone looking for purely function, it is overpriced
you're paying for the brand

[lucid echo]

There's an in between though, which was what I was getting at

[manic torrent]

again, still not overpriced. It's solidly mid-market.

[neon mesa]

you can't tell me the screwdriver isn't overpriced for someone looking only function when the megapro is half that

[gilded quest]

2 pack of 40oz water bottles at costco for like $12
they aren't gonna look quite as nice
but will function more or less identically

[lucid echo]

Doesn't it nearly beat out one double the price?

[manic torrent]

it is objectively 'better' than the megapro, and still cheaper than some higher tier units.

[gilded quest]

the screwdriver is a little different
there is actual assembly in canada which isn't cheap

[near nymph]

I'll argue otherwise. The megapro is bigger and lacks the shaft like the LTT driver. As someone who has it. Even though they licensed parts of the design from them. It's not the same product.

[near nymph]

Megapro is also assembled in Canada btw

[gilded quest]

TIL

[manic torrent]

LTT products are typically premium and have a premium price. You can often get similar products for less, sure, but you can also pay much more for other products that are arguably in the same segment - hence midmarket.

[lucid echo]

100%, the LTT backpack was the cheapest bag I've bought in ~6 years, and it is a notch above the rest (aside from my long-distance hiking one)

[near nymph]

The ergonomic of the screwdrivers is also a lot different.

[gilded quest]

ngl, i originally bought the ltt screwdriver cause i'm bad with money and i was feeling fomo
but it has been a genuine nice tool to use and its come in rather handy

[manic torrent]

It's like people who say that "xyz is a scam!" because it's expensive or whatever.

[near nymph]

LTT backpack seems much. But to each their own. 😂

[neon mesa]

never said it's a scam

[sullen depot]

What hiking backpack did you get

[manic torrent]

it is much. it's expensive. being overpriced is an expression of VALUE, not cost.

[near nymph]

You're saying it's overpriced basically. But if you look at comparable products like the Snap-On and Wera screwdriver. Similar price class. You can see the LTT driver is actually not bad

[sullen depot]

I buy the three pack of tshirts at Walmart. Cuz they fit me nice and look good. Plus they're comfy.

[neon mesa]

then the snap on and wera is also not appropriately priced

[median idol]

Probably the only LTT products I'll get are the water bottle and screw driver TBH

[neon mesa]

best comparison would be the megapro

[lucid echo]

I don't remember the exact model but I know it was an Osprey Atmos

[manic torrent]

what does that even mean

[neon mesa]

priced way higher than the quality of the product

[manic torrent]

sooooo, when you throw out all the things you deem irrelevant, your point stands? nice work

[lucid echo]

Ever heard of the PB Swiss?

[gilded quest]

hmmm

[near nymph]

K. How is it comparable? Tell me. Besides the racheting mechanism (which is also different but similar) and bit holder. Tell me what else is the same?

[karmic flame]

I have a single socket thats worth more than some peoples cars ffs

[neon mesa]

well each to their own
my point was you're paying for the brand, and it's not a bad thing
idk why getting so worked up over it

[manic torrent]

all things that do stuff that is same are same.

[karmic flame]

Guess that price?

[manic torrent]

No, you specifcally said they were overpriced.

[near nymph]

You aren't paying for a brand though. Tell me how it is comparable?

[gilded quest]

i'll trade my easily stolen kia soul for that

[median idol]

$15,000?

[lucid echo]

You're getting some flak because there's more nuance to it than 'It's LTT so imma pay double'

my old man has well over 200k in snap on tools but its part of his trade

[near nymph]

Snap-On stuff is nice stuff besides the twistable rachet. Thingy

[eager notch]

The fuck are you working on, cargo ships?

[near nymph]

Yes it's pricey and you are kinda paying for the Snap-On brand. But these are targeting trades workers and stuff.

[manic torrent]

heaps of heavy machinery

[karmic flame]

Best part of snapon is that you can literally cut a 2k wrench in half and they will replace it

[near nymph]

Lol

[dusky jacinth]

'Eeyyy~
You have a nice face btw.

[eager notch]

That use 2.5 inch drive?

[manic torrent]

snapon, like many business, is a service business. it's not necessarily the product.

[karmic flame]

building shit like this.. This is a trailer our family business built long time ago. but you get the idea https://cdn.ironpla.net/i/12509/179/a1d834a1-351b-4b9d-a6c1-d041bb417b9f.jpg

[eager notch]

Aren't most sockets used for semis and other heavy trucks generally 3/4 or 1 inch drive?

[manic torrent]

I was watching a cool thing where a guy had to replace a nut on a hydraulic piston. He literally machined the nut himself, because it's was like.. 200mm or some shit, and he had to rethread it slightly smaller, and the OEM nut was $3000

[near nymph]

I'm not defending LTT. cuz yes I do believe other stuff is better for the price from elsewhere. But the screwdriver being pointed out specifically seem a bit... Unreasonable

Ouch... $600 worth of damage prime day

[eager notch]

Like lug nuts on trucks are generally in the 30-40mm range

[manic torrent]

the thing is - their products are not egregious or awful

[karmic flame]

Some but not all, we built custom commercial trailers. lots of equipment goes up to the mining and gas industry.. its alot bigger than most

[manic torrent]

yes, but excavators and stuff....

[eager notch]

Ah, so it's heavier than road going trucks, that makes more sense

[near nymph]

Mhmm... Do you work with Ximen?

Cuz fuck those guys. I had to threaten to sue them. For them to pay up.

[karmic flame]

yeah weve built trailers that had to go out the gate in pieces, then assembled on location

[karmic flame]

nope

Hot dang. Air Miles is coming back from the grave

Using Bluetooth on Windows is a very unique experience

Windows thinks they have connected to the device while device is still in paring mode

I have a feeling nothing has improved with Bluetooth on Windows since Win7

[eager notch]

It's amazing how even though it's existed for over 30 years at this point, the pairing process for Bluetooth is still trash

[neon mesa]

cloud gaming is just so good but sadly my cell internet is sub par

[manic torrent]

People always say that, but if I'm using Intel Bluetooth I haven't had any issues.

[neon mesa]

faster than the likes of the ally, but yeaa internet limitation

wish it's better in the future

[eager notch]

Get better internet then

EZ

[near nymph]

Cloud gaming isn't for cellular use... Well unless you have some super low latency connection.

[next dove]

Probably, but it is a thing that grinds my gears
If Windows fails to connect to the device, i have to Remove the device from the list > Reboot WIndows > Try to pair device > Goto step 1 if failed

[neon mesa]

it's usable enough for cellular when conditions are good

60ms latency is not bad at all for non comp gaming

[manic torrent]

Yeah I've certainly had that, I just don't think I've had it for a long while.

[neon mesa]

i'll probably get a better cell provider sometimes in the future

[manic torrent]

Been playing black mesa, and going to 120hz made a huuuuge difference. Which is interesting, because it isn't that crazy for other single player modern shooters.

[next dove]

or another thing:
Headphones create 2 devices on Windows: <something> Stereo and <something> Hands-Free AG Audio instead of having a setting to switch modes like on linux
And if some device decided to use <something> Hands-Free AG Audio's microphone, it completely silences <something> Stereo

The only way to get rid of it, is to disable Hands-Free device each time you connect to the pc

[midnight idol]

now you gotta play the portal games
then half life

too bad valve can't count to 3

would have loved to see a portal 3, but the story is fine as is

[neon mesa]

not a shooter player so latency is a non issue for most of my games

only shooter i actively play is pavlov vr

[manic torrent]

That's not windows fault per se. Hands free two way audio is a separate device mode to audio, and provides an extremely different quality.

[manic torrent]

I mean.... I played them all when they came out

[next dove]

I know, but I rather don't like the way Windows handles it

[midnight idol]

old

[next dove]

, give me second, Imma dualboot into linux to show what I mean

[midnight idol]

play them in chrono order now

[manic torrent]

Oh I know what you mean, I use pipewire for Bluetooth

[next dove]

I mean, personally I would prefer if Windows had the listbox widget where I could select, do I want to use Handsfree or high-quality configuration

, and probably the way to prevent apps use the other mode by default

[manic torrent]

The problem is core to Bluetooth though.

[next dove]

It is

, but the difference is rather how Windows and Linux handle it

I just think, the world would be a little bit more pleasant place to live in if I hadn't to reboot Windows each time Bluetooth fails to connect

[dreamy rose]

ahem. you're wrong

I have two of the same monitors but one of them seems to be yellowed while the other one is whiter. Can someone help me

[brisk tundra]

is that laptop monitor?

[sinful dome]

It’s a monitor both are the lg 27gl83a

[brisk tundra]

I unfortunately can't help sadly

but this is what Bing AI has to say:

• Check the color temperature settings on both monitors. You can try setting them to the same value and see if that helps.
• Check the brightness and contrast settings on both monitors. You can try setting them to the same value and see if that helps.
• Check the cables connecting the monitors to your computer. Make sure they are properly connected and not damaged.
• If none of these steps help, you may want to contact LG customer support for further assistance.
  I hope other people here may help you on this issue, sorry!
  :(

[sinful dome]

Alright thanks for the help

[finite cloud]

you can try to change the color of the yellowed one

are they both new

[sinful dome]

Yes.

[finite cloud]

yes to which one?

[sinful dome]

They are both new and I have also tried messing around with the colors but I can’t seem to get the right fit

[pulsar violet]

I saw Arthur Rafael today when I drove past LMG offices today, I went and got a pic in front of the offices but my parents wanted to see why I was fangirling so I did a quick loop around

[finite cloud]

they might have a color tempature mode. make sure they are both on their "normal" setting, no gaming or media settings

if that doesnt help then i think you should return the defective one

Thanks in advance!

I mean, your wifi will probably be shit but you can heat a medium-large sized room/area with a pc. So like in theory a hot enough system with enough time could cook something in a small box.

Put a rack above the system like its an air fryer

Get a cpu cooler that shoots straight up and point the gpu so the hotest air blows up.

[crude jasper]

$200 on food?

Maybe living on your own..

for homecooked meals that need multi-vitamins for long term sustenance, $500 for a family of 5 and $1,000 if you want good food without multi-vitamin

[timid meadow]

What? Depends on what you count in utilities. Just gas/power/water? You could do that for 150 if you really wanted to meter measure that hard in plenty of places in the us.

Less or more. Depends on if your a homeowner or not and what is wrapped into rent if your renting. And what your renting specifically

[fossil frost]

electricity, gas, water... £320/mo minimum in the uk right now. energy prices especially, are out of hand

[crude jasper]

electric/gas/water would be like $200 here
if saving properly

[dense coral]

At least where I live, the only way to pay $150 in utilities is to remove your air conditioner and fridge, and never take a shower

[crude jasper]

320 pound is alot

[zealous knot]

some shit motivators said that in 2023 it's very easy to famous , so create youtube channel and convert 1 million dance studios videos in to ai animated , so getting 250 views on shorts and 0 on long videos , long videos are like for multiple clips edit

[dense coral]

Electric alone is hundreds

[crude jasper]

$420 is what i pay with very carefree usage

[fossil frost]

that £320 figure is if you turn things off when not using them too. and use low power lights, and energy efficient appliances. but... thats what happens when you have a corrupt government who part own the energy companies via shell companies

10 years ago, £320 would have been frivolous usage where i just didnt turn anything off at all... that same usage now would cost close to a grand

[crude jasper]

Where?

Majority of the USA does not pay super high costs

even europe average should not be past $200

again, if saving properly

$200 or more seems very unrealistic for USA prices unless CA or NY/neighboring states

even then thats with recreational use

[fossil frost]

the government in the uk used the russia ukraine invasion to justify almost doubling the costs of energy to the general public, which, doubled the profits of the energy companies, and when they got called out for it, they laughed and didnt care, and said that companies profiting is not a dirty concept...

LTT still lacking, not even an EU warehouse yet?

[ornate heart]

yo

I have had no interraction with tech news for over 2 years already, how much have mobile cpus improved?

I have an asus zephyrus m16 from 2021, with an i9 11900h

is it another simple 10% upgrade over new generations or did anything significantly change??

[summer folio]

Mobile Phones pretty much the same, lil better peak graphics performance ig.

[summer folio]

Deodorant! Tooth brush & toothpaste!

[ornate heart]

all phones do the same thing

you text a few times a day and watch some garbage content on social media and use steam authenthicator

at this point a 200$ phone is the same as a 2000$ phone minus a few luxury things

the difference in processing power does not actually bring you any benefits in more expensive phones

[night heron]

thats why i got into displays and audio

computer hardware is boring

[ornate heart]

I simply asked how much more powerful they got

since at the end of the day the tech itself doesn't matter, it matters what you do with it, what software you run

I have never heard before that "pc hardware is boring"

what do you mean? that the things you do with them is boring?

[night heron]

nope theyre just boring to research and talk about

[bright flame]

Anyone know how to tag the local timezone in a discord post? I see some servers doing this to make sure everyone sees their local time

e.g. "We're playing tonight at 5:00 PM " when I'm in PST but someone in EST will see 8:00 PM in the chat

[rough creek]

i'm not sure if that's possible without a bot

[lucid echo]

Huh weird, it looks/feels very integrated into the discord UI

[shell lichen]

So, does this strike a cord with anyone else, or is this something thats just me (I legitimately am curious, as have never asked this, as far as I can recall)

Did a year or 2 of C++ classes and html in highschool, went to State University branch for IT, did 2 or 3 semesters there (including a class on basic and one on visual basic) but dropped out there due to poor grades in eng and psych courses (cause my adhd ass couldn't focus and do homework for things so unrelated to my major), went to a community college for IT for about a year or 2, did some more stuff on visual basic, dropped out there due to low english grades iirc, went to a vocational/technical College for 4 years on their only IT course, a "Network Specialist" course with a heavy focus on server hardware and software (including training for cisco certs ), general hardware and software repair and maintenance classes, a class.in binary math, subnetting, etc. lastly i got my psych and english credits from a seperate community college while at said vocational school

ADHD, OCD, dysgraphia, and unnamed high functioning autism (that used to be labeled "Asperger's Tendencies" on my paperwork in the 90s and early to mid 00s)

[plush rivet]

So what’s your question exactly….?

[shell lichen]

how relatable is that? I mean, i spent like 6 years or more at college for above

add to that I have never worked in an IT job, just a sing one that just had me remotely doing data entry and form creation, and another proofreading stuff for spare cash

[fossil frost]

sounds like a friend of mine... hes very very intelligent, but absolutely crippled by anxiety and depression

[shell lichen]

I honestly feel lucky I took out no loans and have no student debt, but makes the whole experience feel like largely a waste of time and money

@fossil frost OCD is an anxiety disorder, its a large part of why I dont drive

[fossil frost]

my friend can hardly leave the house, hes on some heavy heavy medication, and it barely scratches the surface for him

[pure olive]

i am advancing in life

[shell lichen]

I honestly think the only reason im doing somewhat okay now, is that I moved back in with parents a couple years before covid, and the above issues were enough to get me on SS Disability benefits like 700-800$ a month, and have been unemployed since like the year moved back in with folks , prior to that worked remotely for cousin for a few years, never left house really, and still rarely do. Basically I moved back into my childhood room, and give the folks like half (varies by month) of above SS check to go towards groceries, bills (internet, electric, water), and then use the leftover combined with like a hundred here and there from working on local computers and phones, and doing freelance proofreading, to basically get a pc part or a video game here and there

@fossil frost tell friend i empathize

i think i honestly have mild depression/anxiety from a fear of underachievement or something, so there is that

[fossil frost]

my friend also moved back in with his parents shortly after a breakdown, a couple of years after university, he couldnt handle living in the real world on his own. he works the odd remote data entry job (like yourself) here and there.. but mostly relies on his parents because hes too scared to go into the city, or do interviews online, or speak to people he hasnt already met before his breakdown

[fossil frost]

i personally, definitely do have those 3 things. but. i have learned how to deal with it 🙂

[lucid echo]

I think you should be telling these things to a therapist, not to a variety of children on a computer discord. I mean that in earnest, not in a condescending way.

[shell lichen]

@fossil frost I grew up and lived and live now, sub rurally (20 minutes from suburbs, 30 from city, 10-15 from a small town , and 2 minutes from a cornfield) so my social interaction has historically been low, and a weakness

@lucid echo Oh, i have one, funny story, look uo his name, and half you see on him is where he showed up on a bigfoot hunting TV show arguing that they shouldn't be hunting them cause they were intelligent.....

[lucid echo]

Only thing I'll say is an important & unexpectedly helpful piece of info - Our internal struggles seem very unique and disconnected from the 'norm', but in reality, there are countless others who are going through the exact same thing you are. To reiterate, these are conversations to have with a professional

[shell lichen]

I just find it funny that when you look up my psych, all of the top results are him discussing bigfoot

[lucid echo]

As long as he helps!

[shell lichen]

that and his facebook page lol

[lucid echo]

I would steer clear of discussing personal feelings & mental health on #public-chat, this is not a healthy environment to discuss those things

[ionic abyss]

hmmm off brand gpus?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdbvrqC6lOY'

[shell lichen]

He used to go to church with my family in the small town i live in when i was a child, and he did say something that helped a lot with the fear of underachievement, basically that he spent the first 30 to 40 years of his life bouncing from job to job and hobby to hobby, and it wasnt untill mid 40s when he went back to college that he found his calling in therapy, and his personal belief is some people simply need to experience life longer to settle down

how can i use CMD to delete an account

[plush rivet]

Which OS

[visual rapids]

windows 11

[stray apex]

Why do you need CMD for it

[plush rivet]

Just saying, you can google this in 3 seconds.
But the command is net user username /delete

[visual rapids]

Kepps giving me errors

[plush rivet]

Running it on admin?

[fossil frost]

then google the errors

[plush rivet]

^honestly

Most of your questions are a literal google search

[visual rapids]

Google dowsnt help

[visual rapids]

i am in safe boot

[plush rivet]

It 100% does
Your not looking lmao

[fossil frost]

paste the errors in here, and if i can find them with a simple google search, on page 1. you have to move to a different planet

[plush rivet]

That doesn’t answer my question but ok
Is the command prompt on admin

[plush rivet]

We both know it is

[visual rapids]

i think it is doing the commands to SYSTEM 32

[fossil frost]

yeah, and i want stupid people to leave this planet, and move to a different planet 🙂

[plush rivet]

That still doesn’t answer my question…..

it’s a simple yes or no dude
It’s not this hard

[visual rapids]

how can i see when i am in safe mode

[plush rivet]

Am I dumb or like?

[plush rivet]

Did you run as admin when you launched it?

[visual rapids]

i am in safe boot sorry

[fossil frost]

and? you can still run the cmd.exe as admin

[plush rivet]

Just paste the error here

[lucid echo]

Meh, I would do that if I wanted more control/oversight. I touch iCue maybe once a year at this point and just let it run.
Does OpenRGB allow you to set hardware (default) lighting in the corsair commander?

[plush rivet]

because at this point idek

[visual rapids]

how?

[plush rivet]

right click and press run as admin

[lucid echo]

Right clicking & run as admin

[fossil frost]

yes, i set my hardware defaults for my logitech kb/mouse, my corsair ram, and my nzxt kraken with openrgb 🙂

[visual rapids]

How in safe boot it is when you hold shift on reboot

[fossil frost]

its not even running as a service, just a regular app, which i run as i need it

[plush rivet]

Holy hell

@fossil frost I’m giving up at this point

[plush rivet]

like I’ve said it like 3 times dude
When you start the program, right click it and run as Admin
That’s legit it

[fossil frost]

i would say they lack the basic knowledge how to use a computer... but they seem to lack the basic knowledge of how to read things at this point

[lucid echo]

I looked it up, appears they don't support the Commander Pro (yet)

[fossil frost]

poo 😦

[visual rapids]

I AM NOT IN WINDOWS

[fossil frost]

yes you are, you are just in a cmd version of windows

[plush rivet]

……what?

[fossil frost]

and even that cmd version lets you run stuff as admin

Delete a user

google and microsoft but they cant help me with stuff (becouse they cant tell us stuff that they fully support)

ive been looking at bootable usb that can remove accounts but they cost

[lucid echo]

(becouse they cant tell us stuff that they fully support)
What?

[stray apex]

Why do you need to do this in safe boot

[visual rapids]

Like bootable usb (not made by microsoft that can you delete it)

[stray apex]

Are you not an admin on this pc

[lucid echo]

...What?

[visual rapids]

going to give this pc to my bro and he has a usb unlock option and idk his password and he wont telll me plus he is out of town so i am trying to delete my account

[visual rapids]

Dont worry

[stray apex]

You're giving a PC to your brother that you don't have access to?

[lucid echo]

You have a PC with two accounts, and you only know one account password, which is the account you're trying to delete?

[visual rapids]

YES

[lucid echo]

Thank you for making that clear!

The answer is to wait until he's back in town and can login to his account. Then, from that account (not in safe mode, not with any boot USB) they can very easily delete your account.

AFAIK there is no way to delete the account you're currently logged into, without logging into another account. That's probably why you've had such a hard time finding a solution online

[visual rapids]

can i hide it anyway

[stray apex]

You could always make another account

And delete your account with the new account

[lucid echo]

Yeah, I thought that too, either way the new user will have to delete a second account

[lucid echo]

What's so scary about your account?

[fossil frost]

this... this is why im calling bullshit on the explanation

[stray apex]

You can also clear your browser history without deleting your account

[visual rapids]

nothing but i just dont want him to see it bc its got tax stuff on it

[fossil frost]

also, if you are giving the computer to your brother... why not just format it after you had finished with it?

[lucid echo]

And I shoulda sold my company equity when the stock price was quadruple its current value. We all make mistakes

[fossil frost]

and "tax stuff" is widely known to not actually mean "tax stuff"

[lucid echo]

Then just delete the tax stuff you silly goose

[visual rapids]

i have but file recover programs

[fossil frost]

this story is getting more and more dubious

[lucid echo]

Deleting your user account is not gonna prevent that, buddy

[visual rapids]

i know i just need it deleted

[fossil frost]

then stop lying and tell us why you really want to delete it

[lucid echo]

We can't help unless you're truthful

[visual rapids]

is there anyway to crack his password (password cracker)

[stray apex]

Why would your brother run file recovery programs on the pc

[visual rapids]

thats it like i can show you the desktop and files there is nothing on it

[lucid echo]

No there is not, and asking/discussing this is against server rules.

[fossil frost]

he doesnt use a password, he uses a usb unlocker doesnt he? or so you said

[lucid echo]

So you're good then!

[visual rapids]

Yes but he as lost the usb

[fossil frost]

and bypassing one of those hardware passkeys, is for all intents and purposes, impossible

[visual rapids]

thats from memory

[fossil frost]

use a different computer, create a installation media, reformat the pc

[stray apex]

Why are you giving the PC to your brother

[visual rapids]

let me ring him up

[stray apex]

If he's lost the hardware key
Why does it even matter that his account still exists

[fossil frost]

because thats the only way you are going to safely recover this probably stolen pc, that is probably stolen from an office that uses security keys instead of passwords

[full fossil]

At that point just reinstall windows

[stray apex]

Yeah
Format and reset is the only thing you can do

[lucid echo]

You don't, actually. If you're trying to hide already-deleted files, it won't work

[full fossil]

It does tbh

[visual rapids]

How would i make an account than

[lucid echo]

Why do you need to make an account?

[visual rapids]

Its not stolen just how can i delete the account

[fossil frost]

reformat the pc, which will destroy everything on the pc. and allow you to create a new account, and allow you to use the pc

[lucid echo]

Why do you need to delete an account?

[visual rapids]

I want to get rid of it for him

[fossil frost]

which is only objectionable, if the pc is stolen, and you are trying to get into it for some reason that relates to the stolen data on the stolen pc

[vapid crown]

Ugh. I just spilled some tea by mistake on the LTT mouse pad. Luckily it didn't get on my keyboard or anything else

[lucid echo]

He can do that once he's logged in
