It does have important data on it, but it's also an intel 2600

[timid meadow]

So its even more prone to failure when shit hits the fan then newer hardware? Solid argument for buying one. Also, eventually youll upgrade that server. Why not ease your mind on upgrading?

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, a used nas and multiple i3/i5 mini-pcs would replace nicely

[manic torrent]

IF any of your local systems have important data on it that isn't also offsite, you never cared about the data in the first place

[timid meadow]

I know i know i need to buy backblaze

[wispy marsh]

You caught me

[timid meadow]

I should stop paying for Aldons blue name and use that $5 to protect my data

[wispy marsh]

Bob's making me buy a backblaze sub

[manic torrent]

Bullying people into sensible data management 😮

[wispy marsh]

Look, if you're renting out backup services...

[manic torrent]

I literally work for a company that does backups 🙂

[timid meadow]

Bob works for BB? 👀

[manic torrent]

nah not consumer level stuff, we do managed services for businesses.

[timid meadow]

Fun

when bb says all of my attached drives, will it recognize my unraid server through windows?

[wispy marsh]

Soon: Bob leaks HumanGPT source code

[manic torrent]

is it attached?

[timid meadow]

Over the network via smb

[manic torrent]

so, no 🙂

you need B2 object store from backblaze to backup your NAS

[timid meadow]

$2400 a year 💀

[manic torrent]

what are you backing up....

[timid meadow]

Initial thought was my whole server. But that doesnt seem realistic

Oh wait im dumb im looking at cloud not object

Im still seeing $5 per tb per month for anything thats not the personal plan. Ill probably just copy anything i need to an internal drive for the sake of sending to BB. because even if i trim everything down, its still like 2-4tb between my personal stuff, wifes stuff, and media i actually cant find anymore

Ive got a spare 6tb drive i can use

anyone have any arguments or additions to this message?
"are you just gaming, not streaming, nor developing or rendering? you don't need a X90-chipset, you don't need an i7 or i9 processor- games won't use all your cpu cores anyway, you don't need a current or last generation 70 or 80 series GPU, you don't need an SSD or RAM faster than your cpu memory controller, you don't need a PSU with more than double your system's maximum wattage draw under the worst of conditions, you don't need a spacious case, you don't need rgb fans, anything more than 64GB or dual channel memory can actually increase latency, you don't need gigabit internet, display size is game specific but the most commonly used display resolution and frequency in esports is currently 1920x1080 at 144hz- a 4k display would add unnecessary frame times anyway."

[wispy marsh]

Sure

"In short, don't gatekeep your users and tell them what to do."

I made that up after realizing build redux recommends an rtx 4070 and a z790 board for 1080p minecraft, presumably unmodded- which is insane.

urk, it's future-proofed?

[wispy marsh]

"This spec has a performance buffer in case you'd want to play Cyberpunk 2077. The Phantom Liberty DLC is coming out soon, and our recommendations would net you ~120fps at 1080p."

[patent quiver]

Not bad, depending on your work ethic. Honors ush is a joke. Alg 1 is pretty basic. Apcsp is a bit of a challenge and hon chem takes effort but not too bad

German might be terrible idk

[fleet yacht]

what’s Honors English like

[patent quiver]

Took ap sem as a sophomore but English 9 honors was pretty easy, just I suck at normal English classes for some reason so I found it harder than it shoulda been

Most people said it was they’re easiest class tho so just depends. Honors just goes slightly faster than non honors, no harder. Honestly I’d really recommend sem tho if you think you can do it. Assuming your school offers it

[tired thorn]

So inspirational

As a wise man once said all you need is an Intel Celeron N40-

[fleet yacht]

So it’s going to be no more torturous them a regular mainstream class(i’m sped for mental health reasons)

[patent quiver]

Nah not really, English classes are stupid no matter what tho lol

Ap sem is really no harder, just more concentrated work, and more periods with less work, skills you learn are so much more applicable tho later

[shadow hazel]

For that GPU price why not get a 3070 or a used RTX Titan?

[vapid smelt]

3070 is much slower

And the RTX Titans not great for gaming

[slate agate]

titan rtx was held back by it's stock cooler was it not?

[dreamy rose]

why would you buy a Titan anyway?

[vapid smelt]

Flex

[manic torrent]

3070 is an absolutely stupid card to buy in 2023

[dreamy rose]

Titans a workstation card is it not

[vapid smelt]

Imagine ever buying a 3070. Or Water cooling one

[dreamy rose]

oh yeah that too. you could put that money in a fire and itd be a better investment

[vapid smelt]

Back in my day they were marketed as pro gaming cards

[manic torrent]

3070 made some sense in 2021, but it's the worrrrst in 2023. If it had 12GB vram? fine.

even a 3080 10gb is a solid.. yeah nah. in 2023. If you're getting an older nvidia card, either go down or up

[slate agate]

titans aren't really workstation class cards either anymore. the first few models actually were because nvidia was not artificially nerfing things like FP32 (float) and FP64 as they do on "modern" titans

they used to be more like quardos. but then workstation people started buying the cheaper titans so they killed that

[dreamy rose]

its a real shame because the 70 class sounds like the sweet spot. but no this is Nvidia, so consumers can get fucked.

[manic torrent]

yeah absolutely. Nvidia just tiered it too hard.

also the 3070 Ti is like... the same card but it says Ti

(because again, fucking tiering)

[vapid smelt]

1070 8gb 2070 8gb 3070 8gb 407012gb

[dreamy rose]

i guess its just more proof that Nvidia's Marketing and Naming can trick the shit out of people who dont know shit about fuck.

[vapid smelt]

But the 3070ti has faster vram!

[polar fern]

Thicc

[vapid smelt]

That does nothing most of the time

[manic torrent]

the vram speed being what the 3070 was really lacking in! 🙂

[polar fern]

My face is vram

[manic torrent]

lol no - thicc is larger than 40x40. I got a noctua industrial fan to go in my battery charger, but the fan I removed was a 40x80.

[polar fern]

😯

[manic torrent]

yeah it was some jillion RPM behemoth, but it was super noisy. Replaced it with an 80mm fan and some "temporary" tape to route the air. It's been 3 years

[polar fern]

“How much cfm do you need? Yes.”

[manic torrent]

but the 40x80 was just so damn noisy, and I wanted to be able to charger batteries without obnoxious noise. Wasn't a big deal when my office was inside, but when I moved my office to the garage, blahhh

[polar fern]

More air interaction is more noise usually.

an $1100 system with a 1080 doesnt sit right with me for 2023 lol, unless ur using a bonkers high end hedt platform or something

you could prob drop cpu down to a 5600, go with a much higher end gpu, the 5600 likely wont hinder performance when ur gaming with a higher end gpu, especially at higher resolutions

$200 for a 1080 is also a downright scam

that's like used 6600xt money

Nah the Intel versions are still going to be a thing for a longgg time so

[north wraith]

fair

[sweet jetty]

Heck, people hackintosh ryzens now

[north wraith]

I miss remebered what a hackintosh was lol

[sweet jetty]

😭

[north wraith]

thought that was when you put a custom os on the mac not the other way around

[sweet jetty]

Welpp

[north wraith]

still cool to know!

[sweet jetty]

You can't put a different stable OS on Apple silicon yet, sadly but there are Linux projects working on it

[north wraith]

yeah thats what I was thinking it was

[gilded quest]

Free from university, and that's how much university cost me

[sweet jetty]

How does that correlate to windows keys?

Also for what its woth I am assuming you cant use the latest OS on a hackentosh?

[sweet jetty]

You can, it'll just be less stable than one or two versions old

[north wraith]

I see

thats pretty neat actually!

[sweet jetty]

People installed Sonoma on hackintoshes the second it went out and it worked smooth like butter

I don't like Sonoma tho ngl, makes it look too cartoonish

wait ventura thats it

[north wraith]

yeah thats what I had the last time I had a mac now I have inherited an old mac that I can get to run Ventura

[sweet jetty]

But he's retired now, so it only makes sense

[indigo plume]

I think that was subs

[north wraith]

I will say this about macs its crazy that I can still use it for light pc work even though its like 7 years old now

and the battery feels pretty soild too at least to my PC gaming laptop standards (very low ones)

[fallen cedar]

he hasnt cared about subs for a long time and mr beast helping him with the wole t series thing indicates it would be genuine

[full fossil]

i am afraid to upgrade my gpu cuz all the gpu upgrades i've thought would be a good idea just havent been

[graceful burrow]

What upgrades have you thought of lol

[full fossil]

well, the gpu upgrades ive done, i thought they were a good idea at the time, as they were cheap and offered good performance, but i ended up quickly regretting them

[graceful burrow]

...
In what ways

What were they
Why were they regrettable

[full fossil]

970 -> 980 ti (got it for free from my dad); thought it would improve my performance in halo infinite, turns out nvidia drivers cucked it
980 ti -> 2060; ended up not using any benefits of the 2060 whatsoever
2060 -> 5700xt; thought it'd be nice trying my first amd card, drivers have been great but thermals have been god awful on the 3 variants i tried

now im afraid to pick a gpu for myself cuz i might make a stupid choice again lmao

i really dont trust myself at this point

[wispy marsh]

2000 series is a scam, except the supers

[graceful burrow]

Yeah those are meh upgrades lol

[wispy marsh]

5000 series was a gen1 launch

[full fossil]

you think a 6800xt would be a decent upgrade from my current 5700xt

[graceful burrow]

Hell yes

[wispy marsh]

I'd say 7900XT+

[full fossil]

if i had 7900xt money, that'd be an option

[wispy marsh]

If you have $600, the 6950XT is roughly that

[graceful burrow]

The 6800xt is a large upgrade you don't need a halo tier card

[wispy marsh]

Plus, the 2.2ghz+ memory actually does help on the 50XT series

[regal trail]

Is 17 fans too much?

[full fossil]

i have about £350-400 to put towards a gpu. as much as i love pc gaming, i dont really need max high end performance

[wispy marsh]

I see

[full fossil]

a used 6800xt lines up in that price

[wispy marsh]

Isn't 400£ about $550?

I have the 6800xt, i like it

[full fossil]

yeah but markets are about the same so treat £400 as if it was $400

[graceful burrow]

[wispy marsh]

[wispy marsh]

6800xt is fine

[full fossil]

i wanna go with the sama im01, but how the hell do i configure airflow in the thing

[graceful burrow]

The 6800xt is quite a large upgrade

[wispy marsh]

I get ~5fps in cyberpunk with pathtracing at 1440p

[full fossil]

maybe i should go ap201 instead

[wispy marsh]

~30 with RT low, and ~90 without RT

It's a mid-tier setup too

[full fossil]

i dont think i'll use RT unless it can actually provide a noticeable increase in visuals without affecting performance in a major way

im not willing to drop half my frames for slightly fancier lighting

[wispy marsh]

Pathtracing looks gorgeous

But i assure you that sticking with standard shadows is worth the performance difference

[full fossil]

i dont think i'll be using path tracing any time soon

[wispy marsh]

It's much, much more than half your frames

[full fossil]

only like a select handful of games have it, most of them i have already played, like portal and cyberpunk

[wispy marsh]

So yes, I recommend the 6800XT

[full fossil]

to me, i see ray tracing and path tracing as cool, but i still dont see it any differently than i did when the rtx 20 series launched

aka. gimmick

[wispy marsh]

Honestly tho

RT is a narrative. It's not a feature

I think it's so much more computationally expensive than framegen or upscaling that it's more of a distraction rather than nvidia willing to admit they don't care about the average consumers

[fallen cedar]

[wispy marsh]

I'm not wrong in today's context

[fallen cedar]

by what definition of narritive

[full fossil]

nvidia is saying a lot of gamers use ray tracing, but are they counting the people who turn it on once when they get a new rtx card and "woah it looks so pretty" then turn it off because performance goes from 60 to 20, or people who actually use ray tracing?

[wispy marsh]

"Taking away your talking rights"

[fallen cedar]

what

[full fossil]

1984

[fallen cedar]

im more confused, I don't really give a fuck if you like ray tracing or not, im just asking how is it anything but a feature

you could argue its a gimmick I suppose but that would still make it a feature

[full fossil]

its a feature that has dubious levels of usefulness

[fallen cedar]

still a feature

[wispy marsh]

Fine, it's a feature, but primarily a narrative

[full fossil]

did i say it wasnt

[fallen cedar]

how is it a narritive 😄

[full fossil]

the only game ive noticed that actually looks different and/or better with RT is the "new" ratchet and clank tbh

[fallen cedar]

a narritive in my mind at least means like a story

[full fossil]

i have a story for you

[fallen cedar]

cant wait to hear it

[wispy marsh]

The story here is nvidia doesn't wanna be your friend because you don't use the minority of games that emphasize on RT and newer DLSS revisions

[full fossil]

"the story of ray tracing"

nvidia uses a semi-useless gimmick that allows them to upcharge their gpu pricing but people still buy their gpus for whatever reason
amd follows, with a worse implementation but good priced gpus

the end

[fallen cedar]

hmm I see

[wispy marsh]

To be fair, they're putting in a lot of work to help older game engines use the newer features

But, devs have to do that for free

[fallen cedar]

thats just marketing though, like they need something to tell you for you to buy a new one

[wispy marsh]

Ain't nobody got time for dat

[full fossil]

"ray tracing" "frames win games" etc

apparently frames winning games is why you should buy a new gpu

[fallen cedar]

if overselling was the crime than there are a lot more criminal companies

[full fossil]

the crime is nvidia's ceo kinda looking like bowser

[fallen cedar]

thats a good thing tho

[full fossil]

just less fat

[fallen cedar]

did you know hes been the ceo of nvidia since always

[full fossil]

[full fossil]

i feel kinda left out in the pc/tech community cuz i legit know so much stuff about desktops, some about laptops + mini pcs, but i can not be bothered to know anything about anything else

like, i can not be bothered to learn about servers, workstations n stuff in that general area

or like networking or NASes or whatever

[fierce moth]

Workstation = more powerful desktop

[full fossil]

i know what the idea of a workstation is; but i know jackshit about the hardware, i dont know anything about quadros, xeons, anything remotely HEDT. im lost when it comes to that stuff, and i feel like i might need to know about that, considering im going into college for computer engineering

[fierce moth]

Google is your friend

[fallen cedar]

if it says "enterprise" on it its scam

and so is a college degree tbh but thats another story

"workstation" prebuilds are hilariously priced

[full fossil]

nah im in the uk, college is a lot more required so its basically free, but it's a lot less of a big deal than it is for the yanks

[fierce moth]

Apprenticeships are the way to go

[fallen cedar]

its still hours that youre never getting back, but sure decent enough

[fierce moth]

But only apply to trades

[full fossil]

i didnt bother with an apprenticeship tbh

[full fossil]

i already have a job, why work another one where im likely not gonna learn a ton

at least college is interesting enough for me

[fallen cedar]

if its in the field, sure

[fierce moth]

With an apprenticeship you get paid while you learn

[fallen cedar]

or lie on your resume and learn while they pay you

[fierce moth]

Generally you have one day at trade school and the rest with your employer

[full fossil]

i can stick on a documentary in the background while im at work and do the same thing

[north wraith]

its not the same thing

[full fossil]

yeah yeah ik

[fierce moth]

at least I'm not paying collage fees lol

[full fossil]

my job is so shit that i get paid to just sit on my arse all day anyway, so an apprenticeship would force me to actually work

[rough socket]

I had a job
I started an apprenticeship while doing the same job I was doing
Bow every Friday I do basically nothing while "learning" and after the apprenticeship I'll get a non-negligible raise in salary
And while doing it I earn more than I was due to taxes being basically inexistant for apprentices
Andddd for the next jobs I'll have a bigger degree to ask for more

So it's a big W

[full fossil]

who said im paying

im 17, i still have at least one parent alive to leech off of for another year

[fierce moth]

I meant in general

Plus I field in electro

[rough socket]

Oh well
I'm 25 and got a house, I'd be glad if I had done this apprenticeship earlier

[north wraith]

[fierce moth]

So apprenticeships are a bit more involved

[full fossil]

but it aint me so im happy

[north wraith]

I dont think I had any f ing idea what I wanted to do for a long term job when I was 17

[full fossil]

i hope one day mfs will find a way to softmod the 360 cuz i cba soldering anything to anything

[polar fern]

They sound totally tubular.

[north wraith]

yeah I agree would be HIGHLY impractical but would be neat to see

[north wraith]

maybe a fresh water squid lol?

[fierce moth]

It's Australian slang lol

[north wraith]

nice thats tracks

also good morning?

[fierce moth]

It's afternoon over here

[north wraith]

ah

[polar fern]

Vacuum tube computers (the huge ones) didn’t just need floor space, they also needed asscheek loads of cool air circulation or the thing would melt itself.

[north wraith]

thats right yall are about 14 hours a head of me

lol was going to say what kind of tubes?!?!

[full fossil]

currently 9am here in good ol greece, glad to be on holiday

[north wraith]

oh yeah 2 am here also on holiday

[polar fern]

Are you not on fire?

[full fossil]

im not but i cant say the same about my pc. followed the ol ltt guide about how to safely ship your pc, and i did just that

[polar fern]

It arrived as a pile of ash & melty?

[full fossil]

fortunately no

but the gpu seems to think it is a pile of ash, judging by the 110c junction temp

[north wraith]

dang thats like 212+ in freedom units

230 to be exact

[polar fern]

Was gonna say 100c is 212f

[north wraith]

yeah had to math

[polar fern]

Ok bbl

[north wraith]

so your pc can also double as a tea kettle I guess

or a space heater

[full fossil]

alr; my current plans for my pc are a new case, more fans and a new gpu https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/7YJhDq

[north wraith]

pro tip: dont forget to unpack you'r toiletries after going on vacations for a month....

and with that fun chore to look forward to in the morning I bid you all a good night (by my timezone)

[humble star]

Hey, why do reviews keep mentioning no 3.5mm headphone jack when the type C can apparently transfer better audio to the earphones?

Is it all because of the jack being "dedicated"?

[north wraith]

becuase how many headphones do you know that use USB c compared to 3.5 mm

[humble star]

New tech definitely takes time to adapt. But still usb type C earphones are way beyond that.

[north wraith]

I have never ever seen a pair of wired USB c headphones

[wispy marsh]

I wanna go home

[humble star]

I think that is because people jumped ship to the TWSes because of the ease it brings

[north wraith]

yeah

[humble star]

I mean. I am not being cynical or anything. I was just curious

[north wraith]

basicly if you buy a new headset you might as well get some sort of wireless thing with that money

yeah yeah sorry I might have been a little cynical

its a good question now that I think on it

[humble star]

TWSes really do come for cheap these days

[pliant karma]

I wanna sleep but I am night watching my friends server if there is a raid since we had one

and I spent 5 hours repairing the damage

[humble star]

Still nothing beats headphones. I was just wondering if USB Cs were indeed better why even mention 3.5mms in the reviews

[north wraith]

I think a big part is there are still a lot of very good 3.5mm headsets that can be found cheeply so people want to know if it will work with it

[fierce moth]

Why not lock it down?

[pliant karma]

it is locked atm just rougue invite link one person still has. I don't have full admin control so I can't remove that still active link

[north wraith]

I was going to sleep too but then I got thinking about headphones lol

[fierce moth]

Rip

[pliant karma]

Server owner is away on vacation in europe sooo I am trying to manage as much as I can with the given power

[humble star]

Yeah this was something I have been thinking about for days but no article seemed to talk about it

[north wraith]

at least now you know that if you get raided it that link's fault

[pliant karma]

yes ;p

[fierce moth]

Sometimes I question why humans are assholes, must be instincts

[north wraith]

now that I think about it I feel like ive seen ads for USB c headsets for the switch?

but that might have just been a wirless dongle deal

[humble star]

Dont even cost as much as those TWSes plus no latency. Only hassle are the wires which I can understand.

[fierce moth]

It is possible, as the switch supports usb output for some devices

[pliant karma]

I question high schoolers lol cause this server was made back in 9th grade when I was a freshman and just grew for the past few years. We still have some Sophmore-Senior high schoolers in it.

[fierce moth]

Found this out when I used my blue yeti on my switch lol

[north wraith]

nice

aight I should actualy try and sleep for real now

good luck with the server stuff my dude

hope you dont get raided

[fierce moth]

Although this was likely implemented so users can use usb amps and dacs

[pliant karma]

Funny thing is I was on night watch when r/place happened defending canadian flag and reimu cause apparently some people working on the flag were not happy with something not related to canada on it even though there was a clear alliance with the community that made that character

so we had some rougue people trying to wipe reimu but of cource she was rebuilt within minutes

[fierce moth]

Where's the ltt presence on place?

[full fossil]

humans.

[pliant karma]

was planned but with the resenment some ltt fans had towards reddit it never went through

I wouldn't be able to help anyways since I was occupied keeping eye on 2 murals for r/placecanada and helping quebec/newfoundland rebuild after being botted so it was a fun few days

[fierce moth]

Fair enough

[pliant karma]

Lol some members maintanining the flag did also raid XQC when word got out that he had plans to try to kill the canadian flag.

so charzar build took a hit.

[wispy marsh]

Wow

[sweet jetty]

I did r/theweeknd, we got attacked like 4 times, but ended up getting a smol spot

[pliant karma]

lol we had to build 2 canadian flags one to throw off xqc

it worked since the decoy spot was raided and actual spot stayed as is

[sweet jetty]

😭

We got raided by some Spanish streamer

[pliant karma]

although we were not fully coodinated still enough to operate

[sweet jetty]

Tbh who was

The place announcement was so sudden

[pliant karma]

rip some peruvian streamer wanted to raid bad apple animation i think I said it before but you know how that ended

[sweet jetty]

Yea 😭

you and 6k viewers vs many more people then you GL with that

Im ngl this server is very dead considering it's size

[full fossil]

one of my cousins is having a birthday soon, planning on building a budget (but still pretty decent) gaming pc setup for him

im thinking ryzen 5 3600 + rx 5700 should be a decent low budget combo that can still pack a punch for a lot of games

[wispy dragon]

Hello

[sweet jetty]

That's actually good depending on what they're gonna throw at it ngl

What's your budget, tho

[full fossil]

i dont really have a set budget other than "dont spend too much"

[sweet jetty]

Lmao fair

[full fossil]

ideally i'd wanna spend as little as possible while still providing something that both looks and performs well

mainly cuz i dont have a ton of money

[sweet jetty]

Yeah, I mean, that seems quite nice for a PC

[sweet jetty]

You're giving them a ryzen 5 and rx5700, your defination of not a lot of money in this argument is very different 😭

trust me when u know how to deal hunt, spending not a lot of money is the real deal

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/K8HXmr i wouldnt say £310 is a lot for a gaming pc

[sweet jetty]

Oh wow, I thought he parts were much more expensive than they actually were

You gettin everything new?

[full fossil]

of course not, the rx 5700 isnt even sold new anymore

[full fossil]

cpu is used, cooler is new, motherboard is refurbished, ram is new, ssd is new, gpu is used, case is new, psu is open box

[sweet jetty]

W

I was only concerned about the psu but open box is nice

[full fossil]

yeah

£30 for an open box tier c 80+ bronze psu isnt all bad. people scream when they see 'gigabyte' and 'psu' in the same sentence, hence why this thing was as cheap as it is open box. i guess someone just returned it after hearing about all the gigabyte psu nonsense

they're decent

[buoyant otter]

What fans do y'all recommend

[full fossil]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/dRztxs this is the full setup i'll be building for my cousin. he already has a desk and chair, so no need to worry about those lol. but this should be a solid pc setup for him that wont leave me bankrupt and should be better than his aging xbox one

[buoyant otter]

And ive heard noctua nhd15 is a waste of money for an air cooler is that true?

[full fossil]

unless you really need low noise levels then yeah

the thermalright peerless assassin does a pretty great job for under half the price of the d15

[timid meadow]

Scythe is also a great budget option for coolers

[buoyant otter]

I was gonna get the ps120 from thermalright

[full fossil]

yeah the fuma isnt that bad

[buoyant otter]

Ive heard its good

Are noctua fans worth getting or are there better alternatives

[full fossil]

overall, should be a solid 1080p esports/AAA system

[full fossil]

again, only if you need really low noise levels

[timid meadow]

You pay for the name a little but reliable in my experience

[full fossil]

if you're gonna be using headphones, get something like the p12s by arctic

[buoyant otter]

Ok

[full fossil]

you're not gonna hear the p12s when you have your headphones on

[buoyant otter]

Ahh ok

And the 1800max rpm is enough?

Hey, I may or may not have lost the cpu to my streaming pc so would I be able to use my laptop as a stream pc without a capture card? It has 8gb of RAM, 11400kf cpu and Intel Iris xe graphics

[native venture]

As far as searching for any search result of "DC to DC vs DC to AC to DC", nothing shows up on search result and some of the answers are not even match on the question.

[shy elk]

Why can't we just use ac

[native venture]

Do you guys think that adding a buck converter that is directly wired to the 12V UPS battery to be used by a RPi4 and a router more efficient than doing DC to AC conversion and using the power adapter back to DC?

[limpid fern]

Dc to dc will be more efficient that dc to ac to dc

What voltage is your router?

[native venture]

12V, 2A

oh, i can just hook it up directly

[limpid fern]

For the pi you will need something like a cigarette lighter to usb adaper

Fyi this may voit you UPS warrenty

[fierce moth]

Pis don't use 12v,but they use some weirdo usb C input

[limpid fern]

Perhaps put a 5a fuse between the router and usb board

[native venture]

Oh, warrantly is not an issue. It was already opened up.

[fierce moth]

Specificly the pi 4

[limpid fern]

Dont they accept 5v?

[native venture]

A buck converter would be needed to convert 12v to 5v3a, right?

[limpid fern]

Just get one of those cheap car phone chargers

[fierce moth]

Yes, but they use a different pinout on the connector

[limpid fern]

Another option is a 12v lithium ups

[native venture]

aren't cheap cigar phone chargers max out to 5V2A?

whyyyyy

hmmm, ok give me time to read the article

[dull tapir]

anyone knows for a good EU shop that has low prices and things usually in stock trying to order all new pc custom parts from one shop

or is it only amazon i know some german shops that barely have anything in stock

[limpid fern]

Do you have a microcenter in germany?

No

[dull tapir]

i am from slovenia

idk what is most recommended shop to buy all pc parts from

pcpartspicker links me to amazon

but half of items are sold through third party shops on amazon and i do not trust them because third party shops often sold me open boxes

[native venture]

ok, this might take a bit longer to understand the USB-C problem on rpi4, but i can guarantee that i can hook up my router straight to the UPS battery without any issue. and for the rpi4, i might either need like those smart USB chargers with LED screen or smth that can utilize 12V as their input

Cat 5e is only $20~$40

I get it! its crazy but I think most places will be cheaper but then cost the earth in postage!

[dull tapir]

pcpartpicker links me to multiple shops and if i order from multiple shops i pay 45 eur shipping on each

this is why i wonder if there is any good shop in eu that would mostly have all in stock

also how reliable are third party sellers on amazon

[fierce moth]

I have the space for one, I'm just broke lol

[dull tapir]

because i bought couple of items as brand new from them and they shipped open box and damaged

[reef quiver]

Most amazon and eBay sellers are hit or miss,

[dense flame]

You're realistically better off using pcpartpicker to just figure if the components you're looking for are compatible with one another and figuring out how to source the individual items locally.

[reef quiver]

I am unsure of anywhere to get all items from.

[dense flame]

The curse of living in a small country I suppose.

[dull tapir]

yes i used it as configurator

but i am not able to find any good stores that are in stock and are not overpriced we have 920eur for 6950 and in german stores 6950 alost usually costs 830eur

[dense flame]

The problem is you're probably going to be able to do better research than anyone here. Quick, tell me what the best retailers in .. I dunno, Romania are.

[dull tapir]

this is why i am asking if anyone knows any global EU website

like caseking

https://www.caseking.de/en/asrock-radeon-rx-6950-xt-phantom-gaming-oc-16384-mb-gddr6-gcar-013.html?tplview=desktop

[dull tapir]

what do you mean

[crystal pike]

So if i keep mobile data on while not being subscribed to a data plan or have any data, would it drain the battery?

[reef quiver]

no, If you turn off data your battery lasts 25-40% longer depending on what you are using it for

[reef quiver]

research and see if they sell all the part and instead of getting delivered you can go pick them up

[crystal pike]

I don't have any data
I just wanna get rid of that annoying (!) In the status bar next to the signal indicator

[dull tapir]

i checked half of items are missing in each shop i checked like 6 or 7 and also prices are far higher than on amazon

[reef quiver]

Unfortunately that is built in unable to remove!

[manic torrent]

what? on what device? what use is a phone without data? what year is it

[reef quiver]

Some countries are expensive for data

[crystal pike]

I use wifi, i live in the future

[dull tapir]

if not i will just get a prebuilt

seems more affordable

[manic torrent]

still doesn't change the statement

[crystal pike]

fr

[reef quiver]

Might be your best option since where you live is difficult to collect parts.

[reef quiver]

I agree but some people don't use phone like me and you!

[crystal pike]

Is this your car

[dull tapir]

this is why i bought some time ago pc with 8400 and 1050 and swapped 1050 for 1080

[manic torrent]

for sure, but genuinely, in 2023 a phone without data is more or less junk

[crystal pike]

Its not that i dont use data
I simply don't have a plan rn since i don't need one and the ! is annoying

[dull tapir]

prices here are just insane compared to low wages we have

[fierce moth]

Trying to figure out how to run Linux on my ps3

[dull tapir]

and tech costs more than in first world countries

[reef quiver]

If you can afford to get a few prebuilds and combine them for a mega pc 😛

[crystal pike]

I don't think you can do it anymore afaik

[dull tapir]

i usually buy prebuilts and i sell bad parts as used and replace what i need to

[fierce moth]

you can if you have a modded ps3

[dull tapir]

because this is cheapest i can get parts

[bold echo]

How many times did you destroy a screen protector? I managed to destroy two in less than 20 minutes

[reef quiver]

Yeah from what I am aware of you can remove (!)

somehow dust got in during both atempts

i know a guy with like dozens of modded ps3s

[bold echo]

Idk but the professional needs to try until he gets it correctly and I pay at the end

[crystal pike]

It was a messy uv one so it was even more expensive for him

[bold echo]

here I paid 20$ and now it is in the trash bin

[crystal pike]

Yeah he respected that lol i only paid for one

[crystal pike]

skill issue (fr)

[fierce moth]

time to do some mad science

[crystal pike]

What are you gonna do

[bold echo]

somehow the dust removal sticker from spigen instead of getting the dust out, it would make it even worse

[fierce moth]

might compile a ps3 linux kernel

[reef quiver]

As long as I dont hear an explosion!! we good!!! :lmao:

[bold echo]

and it was dust free(the sticker I mean) when I used it

[fierce moth]

with suitable organ music in the background

[crystal pike]

I was trying to remove a piece of dust from the dial of my watch a while back
And the sticker made it worse it left some residue on the dial

[bold echo]

Something like that

The first time the dust was already on the screen protector

[dull tapir]

and then i get toxicity when i mention prebuilts but some have really messed up choices when it comes to accessibility

[bold echo]

I know it was my fault but idk how it got there in the first place if the screen protector had a peel that I didn't take off

[dull tapir]

could i afford it yes but nto gonna pay 2500 for something that is worth 1500

[bold echo]

it was blue dust from a puzzle(so this is how I know it was my fault)

[crystal pike]

Yeah stickers generally make it worse imo just try to get it perfect the first time
Use a coffee filter to clean the display before installation so it doesn't leave any dust

[reef quiver]

Yeah I get that but its your location that is preventing you building one!

[bold echo]

the display was dust free

anyways my pixel 6a will now go screen protector free for a couple of more days until I can get in the city

[crystal pike]

Oh the protector
Yeah thats like bad

[crystal pike]

why would you even install a protector

[bold echo]

I broke my last phone screen three times

[crystal pike]

It only prevents scratches and the weird layer on top of the glass from evaporating or something

[fierce moth]

not yet™️

[dull tapir]

true that is the major factor

hence why people here use prebuilts

[crystal pike]

A screen protector doesn't protect the display
In my experience every phone that had a screen protector, the display ended up breaking before yhe screen protector

[dull tapir]

looking at american amazon and bestbuy gives me stomach aches

[bold echo]

I have yet to confirm that as I never had a screen protector

[crystal pike]

I have one installed because i hate level 7 deeper grooves

[reef quiver]

Well good luck! Apologies couldn't help more!

[bold echo]

last time I broke my screen it just felt flat on the floor

and the time before

so that is already covered by my case

[crystal pike]

Well I personally recommend one but not for protection
Just to prevent scratches
If you really wanna keep your display from breaking get a hispanic dad phone case

[crystal pike]

Jesus what are you a monster

[wispy marsh]

Don't hold your phone by your slippery squid tentacles

[bold echo]

Both times it was just bad luck

[dense flame]

https://craziestgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/sea-creature-iphone-case.jpg

[bold echo]

once it felt from the bed while I was sleeping

[wispy marsh]

Definitely the tentacles

[crystal pike]

Kinda your fault fr just put ut on your desk or something

[bold echo]

the other time it was charging and idk how I grabbed the cable with my chair and bang

[wispy marsh]

[crystal pike]

ive done this too many times

[bold echo]

about scratches I don't worry that much

[crystal pike]

So youre a monster

[dull tapir]

no problem i appreciate your time

are amazon third party sellers reliable

some of them do ship but i often got damaged products from them

[honest cedar]

Hello, I just bought my pc from pcspecialist but one side of the fans isn’t working. Is it supposed to be like that?

[dull tapir]

but amazon always refunds

[crystal pike]

Headers? Idk never had a desktop

Glad i knew that one

[honest cedar]

Wait nvm I’m stupid

It’s actually spinning 💀

[fierce moth]

I call this, jank

[reef quiver]

my old setup was worse than that I had no case on my ps3 and pc xD they lay on the table!!

[fierce moth]

My ps3 is on top of my pc case lol

[pliant python]

Yooooooo

[reef quiver]

no overheat issues?!?

[past kernel]

love the internal dvd drive thats clearly doing nothing

[fierce moth]

Nah, ventilation isn't on the bottom in the ps3's case, and my pc doesn't have side panels on

[manic torrent]

When your case hasn't arrived yet....

[fierce moth]

Hey, it gets used sometimes

[past kernel]

uh huh

[reef quiver]

think we all just need tobe thankful we all still here 🙂

[dense flame]

If it works, it works. Though I'd recommend getting something soft under that mobo or you'll bend some of the welds. The box the mobo came in works fine.

[rugged bridge]

Dude, Meta (Facebook) made it so easy to stalk or find ppl on Instagram wtf lol

[pliant python]

I just fried my Wii after trying to score as many points as possible in Wii sports baseball 😢

[fierce moth]

Last time I used it was two days ago

Cause I needed to burn a DVD lol

Soon™️

[past kernel]

damn thats a throwback

[manic torrent]

I think I'll be ok

(and even that is an old pic)

[past kernel]

i remember doing kernel mods on my psp slim to get emulators on it

[dense flame]

Cozy setup. Is that a sound bar or something?

[manic torrent]

No, center channel

[dense flame]

Niiiice.

[past kernel]

i even got it to run linux at one point

[dense flame]

Monitor sizes and resolutions?

Oh shit those are floor standing speakers. You're doing what I plan on doing later down the line.

[manic torrent]

27/48/27 (1440/4k/1440)

[dense flame]

~100ppi across the board, nice.

[manic torrent]

ehhh, it's different enough - I use displayfusion to scale it so you can't tell with the background

[pliant python]

@slow tapir you still on that Finland trip?

[dense flame]

Hm, is my math off?

Was 100ppi at 4k closer to 43"?

[manic torrent]

it's almost never nice and tidy because I'm always pulling it apart and upgrading/changing stuff for one reason or another

[manic torrent]

24" 1080 == 48" 4k

32" 1440 would be the same PPI, but they would be too big.

[wispy marsh]

It looks a lot better now. The previous config was not spectecular

[manic torrent]

which previous one?

[wispy marsh]

The previous photos

[dense flame]

It looks lived in, which is appreciable at least. What's the thing on the right of the desk?

[manic torrent]

I have been through a LOT of setups

[wispy marsh]

Mini viewer for adult content

[manic torrent]

it's a behringer X touch one midi control surface with a 9" touchscreen custom mounted to it

[wispy marsh]

Absolutely Hardcore Hardware

[manic torrent]

I am possibly keeping that one there, but moving main control of the audio to a large mixer panel

[wispy marsh]

Give us the soundcloud link for your sick mixes

[fierce moth]

It's alive!!!!

[wispy marsh]

I want some hardcore hard bass!

[manic torrent]

no this is just for handing my room/house audio

[wispy marsh]

...

[manic torrent]

You know what they say, if it's not broken, fix it 'til it is.

[wispy marsh]

Windows (other than 7 and 8.1) arrives broken, factually

[fierce moth]

Muahahaha

My friend literally just said to me, how about just use it normally

[manic torrent]

why is 7 and 8.1 not broken?

[somber crane]

We should all send Linus mutated superfungus, rotting teeth, weightloss, viagra, and other shitty ads until he changes his tone on ad blockers

[wispy marsh]

Because 7 is the most popular and 8.1 is the highest-performing for me.

[wispy marsh]

You haven't watch WAN show, have you?

[sweet jetty]

Brave of you to assume he'll actually check discord

[manic torrent]

uhhh, ok then. Seems like a completely sensible stupid thing to say

[wispy marsh]

It actually is!

[somber crane]

Dis he change his tone?

Shitty ads suck

[wispy marsh]

He mentally filters out ads.

[sweet jetty]

What's your hardware?

[manic torrent]

I should send you grammar and spelling and idiom links until you understand the difference between tune and tone.

[wispy marsh]

At that point in time? 6600K & RX480

[sweet jetty]

10 and 11 shouldn't be bad on that

[wispy marsh]

I run 11 on slightly better hardware now

[sweet jetty]

Were you on a laptop, by any chance?

[somber crane]

&blokt

[manic torrent]

oh man, that's some delicious ironing

[wispy marsh]

Yep, before 10 8.1 I was on a laptop

[sweet jetty]

Yeah, 8.1 is good on touchscreens

[river vine]

Hey guys

[sweet jetty]

I don't like windows in general now

BSODs get on my nerves

[past kernel]

w11 is just so janky

[somber crane]

Never been fond of guys being hyperpretensious

[sweet jetty]

But it's the most compatible OS ever, so gotta keep one just in case

[past kernel]

and the ssd performance tanked in the last few months for 0 explicable reason

[sweet jetty]

I'm sorry, didn't want to come off that way

[past kernel]

i just downgraded after that

complete utter garbage os

[sweet jetty]

But I've had way too many bad BSOD experiences to like windows

[manic torrent]

lol

[sweet jetty]

I get it's appeal tho

[manic torrent]

skill issue

[sweet jetty]

True 💀 I defo have Murphy's law with my tech

[past kernel]

gen4 nvme 970 having like a tenth of its rated bandwidth

its crazy how they let such a buggy mess get pushed to public

[manic torrent]

yep, that's a common windows 11 issue. It just gets slower and slower.

[sweet jetty]

I used win 11 for a month

[manic torrent]

narrator: no, it fucking isn't, I don't know what the fuck that guy is doing

[sweet jetty]

I don't like it's design langauge, it's very Mac inspired but not Mac inspired , it's very hard to say

But for people that like the transparency, I can imagine it being a W

[wispy marsh]

It's a Microsoft Design Language

Just like Metro and Mica. Created to be thrown away.

https://killedbygoogle.com

[past kernel]

the task manager is also just a shell on win32 api

[manic torrent]

see how you're being unreasonable. You're having an opinion about aesthetics. What you need to do is flip the script and use that to tell us that windows 11 is garbage and everyone who ever uses it is an idiot.

[manic torrent]

what? you're just vomiting up words you heard in a youtube video.

[sweet jetty]

Rounded windows, no edges, centred taskbar, I think Microsoft lost it's design language for "modernity"

[sweet jetty]

😭😭😭

[past kernel]

i work with win32 api....

i did it in college.....

[manic torrent]

and so why would you call task manager a 'shell' when windows shell is actually a thing.

[past kernel]

because its putting lipstick on a pig

[manic torrent]

....

[sweet jetty]

...

[manic torrent]

task manager ... manages... tasks

[sweet jetty]

Interesting metaphor

[wispy marsh]

You can't fault them. Everyone on the Apple side is using a centered Home Bar - iPhone, iPad, Mac. Microsoft has long-lasting tablet-centric and phone-centric DE design.

[manic torrent]

I don't know what you want here.

[past kernel]

you have the same people requiring tpm and good specs and then just make apps not function with those requirements in mind

[sweet jetty]

To each their own, I don't like it tbh, wish win 10 gets support for way longer so I don't have to live with that

[past kernel]

would it seriously kill to make a dedicated x64 task manager? seriously

[manic torrent]

you can very easily modify the UI in windows 11 to make it more or less the same.

[manic torrent]

If it's so easy, you do it.

[merry hare]

is 448$ for 3060ti bad?

[past kernel]

they have teams dedicated for this

[sweet jetty]

Touché

[manic torrent]

oh wait, is there decades of compatibility bullshit in there?

[past kernel]

tpm

[manic torrent]

wut?

[sweet jetty]

Not everyone using win11 has a tpm man

[past kernel]

its official requirements

[manic torrent]

the vast majority do.

[sweet jetty]

Which are easily bypassable

[past kernel]

then its on you if your system wont be up to par

[manic torrent]

I don't understand how you're connecting task manager and TPM

[past kernel]

you rebutted with compatability

[manic torrent]

yes. for software.

[past kernel]

ah, then specify

[wispy marsh]

old.reddit.com/r/tronscript

[manic torrent]

.... task manager isn't a driver

so why would it be hardware?

[past kernel]

I dont know many apps that need win32 api access for task manager

[manic torrent]

you claim to understand things, but there is no evidence to back this up

[sweet jetty]

I'm seeing 360 on Amazon US

[wispy marsh]

Task manager is a video decoder!

https://youtu.be/3EWdiEsah0o

[merry hare]

im not in the us, im in europe

[manic torrent]

and because YOU don't know them, they don't exist.

[past kernel]

im sure old is best though

theyll totally fix that nvme issue one day,

[sweet jetty]

Im seeing €360

[past kernel]

its only been how many months now?

[sweet jetty]

Have you filed a bug report?

[past kernel]

this has been a widely reported issue

[wispy marsh]

Fun fact about windows:

• OS treats everything as a file
• The bootloader allows you to select from multiple installed kernels
• You can switch to CLI and DE mode freely
• There are multiple flavors and multiple open-source projects on its source code

[sweet jetty]

Cloudflare decided to block me 😭

[past kernel]

id probably switch and never go back if it wasn't for wine being a bit of a pain at times

[sweet jetty]

Wine is painful sometimes, yeah

I can't play roblox man 💀

[brazen carbon]

• hi

[manic torrent]

I use windows as 95% or more of my interface, and linux to actually do stuff.

[sweet jetty]

Hii

[past kernel]

i still use ubuntu for cross compiling

[wispy marsh]

I'm sorry for shitposting. I'm not sorry you lot don't pick up my mistakes.

[past kernel]

in a vm

[manic torrent]

cross compiling to what

[wispy marsh]

[brazen carbon]

[sweet jetty]

I accidentally turned off my Linux machine while updating, it still worked, HOWEVER if this had been done with windows

[past kernel]

C and assembly

its a major pain in the ass to do anything in windows with assembly

[manic torrent]

for what though. You're saying it's cross compiling, but what is the actual target

compiling stuff in linux in a VM to run on linux isn't cross compiling

[past kernel]

theyre builds of my own kernel im making

[sweet jetty]

That's sick

[past kernel]

you need to in order to link certain stuff

[manic torrent]

need to WHAT

[past kernel]

its complicated but it needs to be specifically set up as a cross compiler

[fierce moth]

Tf, I was playing some organ music on my google home, and I bloody heard thunder outa nowhere, bloody spooked me out

[past kernel]

theres probably vids explaining it

[past kernel]

its definitely a learning experience

id recommend doing it if you really like low level stuff

[sweet jetty]

I wish, but I already have two ongoing projects rn plus classes so

[past kernel]

probably not something you cam slot in tbf

[brazen carbon]

do u own bruhs.xyz?

[sweet jetty]

Oh, definately lot lol

[past kernel]

i did my first few stable builds in about 4 weeks, but that was on a time crunch and i had nothing else going on

[brazen carbon]

@fierce moth do u own the website bruhs.xyz?

[past kernel]

and i knew C and some basic asm beforehand soo

[fierce moth]

Yes sir

[brazen carbon]

web down?
