not letting me go on it

[fierce moth]

Can't be assed setting up a web server

[sweet jetty]

That's nice

[brazen carbon]

oh, what the web for?

[chrome vector]

Linus would kill a fool who touches his socks. Touching his sandals would be a fate worse than death.

[full fossil]

So, I'm stress reading a Wikipedia article on a theorized existence of a particle that defies every law of physics known to human kind.

[sweet jetty]

Which one?

If it's subatomic, it'll make sense

[chrome vector]

Linus's face when the new CEO tells him he's banned from dropping things

[fierce moth]

Fucking Dracula type shit going on atm

Thunder + organ music, surprisingly a nice vibe

[sweet jetty]

Oh nice what organ we using?

[full fossil]

Having a pain with my computer

[sweet jetty]

That was my punchline 😠

[full fossil]

): shes not booting properly after putting a new graphics card in

[chrome vector]

I hear liver is nice this time of year. Goes well with a nice chianti

[restive tulip]

hello

[fierce moth]

Pipe organ

[sweet jetty]

Try putting the old one back in to see if it works

[full fossil]

It boots but there are lines on the screen

[sweet jetty]

Uh oh, sounds like a hardware issue

[full fossil]

What part of the hardware

[chrome vector]

....try....not....to....say...

I've got a nice pipe organ

[sweet jetty]

Do the lines appear with the old gpu?

[full fossil]

Not as much

[sweet jetty]

💀

[full fossil]

But they do still

[sweet jetty]

Oh, try a new display or a new cable

[full fossil]

I tried a new display already

And ordered a new cable that arrives tomorrow I am really hoping its not motherboard

[sweet jetty]

Its hard to say tbh, Im no troubleshooting expert but hopefully the cable fixes it

[polar fern]

Have you tried the 8675309 code?

[full fossil]

Whats that?

[polar fern]

🤦‍♂️

[fierce moth]

[subtle turret]

My PIA vpn subscription just ended. Does ltt have any pro codes?

[sweet jetty]

Oh, this covers some troubleshooting tips for your issue
https://youtu.be/uHgt8giw1LY

[full fossil]

Good thing my internet loads the title before the video

[sweet jetty]

😭 I'm sorry I had to do it

[full fossil]

That was mean but it didn’t do anything so

[meager violet]

hey guys, any tips for packing a cpu? don’t want to break pins.

[native venture]

it matches the reaction to the caption imo

[subtle turret]

Put it back in the original box

[fierce moth]

Had to format the ps3 to set up ps3 Linux

[wispy marsh]

- OS treats everything as an object
- Bootloader handles loading of several OSes on the initial drive
- Runs windows-compatible programs without needing translation
- Extremely high security due to forced security updates
- An extremely interrupt-driven system```

||This, is also a lie.||

[full river]

would anyone be willing to help me on this monitor problem i have, its really simple

dont have to though

[manic torrent]

perhaps if you told us what the problem was, we might be more able to help

[wispy marsh]

A class monitor?

[full river]

check tech support

[ionic abyss]

ok so i just saw a otterbox case that was $0 per month for 24 months lol

so cases now have contracts??????

[full river]

and go to my name

[wispy marsh]

Anything can be a contract with the correct payment provider.

[timid meadow]

Is it just me, or is it super annoying to see "someone check tech support" all the time in pub chat? Either ask here or dont, the channel exists for a reason. Crossposting is weird.

[ionic abyss]

ok i never knew cell service providers could get you to sign a contract for a phone case

[wispy marsh]

Your phone (ISP), your car (credit card), your soul (contract with the devil)

[full river]

im just getting fully aired mate thats why

[manic torrent]

"Entering Power Save Mode" is simply your monitor turning off because it's not doing anything

[wispy marsh]

Oh, I can understand if it's an addon for when you purchase a phone or a phone plan

[full river]

it happens when i turn my pc on though

[ionic abyss]

there are fine phone cases for $20 on amazon

[manic torrent]

yes, because it detects the signal.

[manic torrent]

while this is true, the case in question isn't $20 on amazon.

[honest cedar]

My pc says ‘updates are on the way’ and it’s been a while

[fierce moth]

Mmm ps3 sounds like a bloody jet engine

[manic torrent]

wait longer

[honest cedar]

Okay

What do I do if it just stays on it?

[manic torrent]

cry

[timid meadow]

Like the windows update screen during a power up or down?

[woeful trench]

If anyone's around that can do tech support please check the thread I just posted, my system is busted and I'm panicking 😭

[wispy marsh]

Buy a faster drive

[timid meadow]

You definitely dont just hard shutdown and hope for the best. I mean, unless you want to. You shouldnt. But i do 🤷

[wispy marsh]

This is very difficult for me* to troubleshoot unless you see any bent pins or dust inside the ram/pcie slots

[fierce moth]

I might lose my marbles soon

Constant usb changes

Had to find a usb hub

[woeful trench]

I don't, and the problem happens even with no GPU installed and the display connected to the mobo onboard graphics port 😭

[small swan]

is $768 after tax good for a 7900XT?

[full fossil]

also a fun thing people forget to mention, heat exhaustion can take up to a week to fully recover from

[stable birch]

lol ive had both. sucks

omg new Twisted Metal TV is pretty awesome

[full fossil]

man's from the future

[analog bramble]

the 2nd pcie port does not detect my external ethernet port, and the 1st one is occupied by graphics card, is there a way to still connect the ethernet port to the pc? my default motherboard port is gone bad....., is there like any other connection to the motherboard that the ethernet port can take or maybe usb?

[full fossil]

I want to buy an electrical shaver. Which one should I buy?

[past kernel]

you can do usb over ethernet

[honest cedar]

Wait it’s fine now. I just switched it off and powered it on again

[past kernel]

personally id just do a swapperoo with the ethernet and gpu cards

[sweet jetty]

Windows moment

[past kernel]

if it works, that is

[prime prism]

How does a GPU help?

[full river]

guys what do u reckon 240fps with nvidia reflex low latency off or 225fps with nvidia reflex on+ boost

[stable birch]

I got one, then switched to double edge razor. much better for the face

[analog bramble]

are there any issues when doing usb over ethernet?

[polar fern]

I had non-critical (no hospital needed) heat exhaustion a few years ago, when I pushed myself to do outdoor lawn stuff before I went to a concert - very huge mistake

Landscaping companies may do well with switching to automated machines to save themselves the exertion

[stable birch]

or just providing realistic work schedules and appropriate cooling spots and breaks

[polar fern]

Not always possible with the extended hot weather we are seeing anymore

[full fossil]

yeah it's far worse for your body than people think
Got it a few weeks ago from working on my car in the shade of my garage without enough water

[stable birch]

Do we really need more mines for batteries to power robots to do everything that humans can do?

[full fossil]

couldn't properly work out for a week

[polar fern]

We don’t necessarily need to use chemical batteries 🙂

[stable birch]

right, we can use human labour!

[hardy cobalt]

😭😭😭

[full fossil]

you can have mechanical assistance and still maintain healthy working schedules, assuming greed isn't a factor

but alas

[polar fern]

Landscape maintenance is a huge and very competitive industry

[full fossil]

unfortunately

[polar fern]

And one area of the economy that technology in the form of more sophisticated hardware has yet to really gain a foothold

[full fossil]

americans love their shitty grass

[sweet jetty]

We need better battery tech asap ngl

[polar fern]

It’s not even about grass, actually

Landscaping maintenance is not just about mowing a grass lawn (which is an unnatural monoculture)

[full fossil]

here in texas, the grass obsession can please die

[polar fern]

It’s also about pruning and edging, and making sure plants are healthy & properly placed for best results

[full fossil]

I wish they'd just edge and let natural plants grow around here

[polar fern]

White stone “lawns” or native landscaping can work too

[full fossil]

like fr edging makes a bigger difference in presentation than just trimming
unfortunately it's a concrete jungle around here

[polar fern]

Concrete also stays warm after sunset, which is stupid

Tho i will say, walkability still needs to be maintained

[full fossil]

at least it's better than asphalt here

what walkability heh, this is the southern usa, get a car or fail /s

[polar fern]

Concrete is actually incredibly carbon intensive. And asphalt is basically just the sludge left over from crude oil refining and crushed rocks from open mines

[elfin solar]

Nothing quite like asphalt in the scorching heat !

[full fossil]

true but in the climate here asphalt is obliterated in a year, and it retains a shitload of heat

[sterile garnet]

I'm so annoyed right now, ordered a gpu and ups tracking says "Thursday, July 27, by 7:00pm" of course I wasn't awake at 9:30 am to come sign for it

[full fossil]

It's a pretty reasonable time ngl shrugs

[full fossil]

yea on the highway tire noise is much more prevalent than engine noise

though for fuck's sake can they hurry up with the inner city electric semitrucks

Just like a general thought to the rules, why is having alt account on this server not allowed? Is it like a privacy thingy or smth?

[full fossil]

@meager furnace took my LN2

[meager furnace]

Bro you wouldn't know the first thing to do with ln2

[graceful burrow]

It's against discord TOS so it has to be against the rules here

[kindred lance]

Well chief

[vapid zephyr]

I assume because of Discord ToS, which forbid those either way

I put it in radiator

It would be best to list some options available in your price range and area

[limpid fern]

Screen change lets go

[pliant karma]

My question is why but I have done it in the past for lols so I know how it feels

[limpid fern]

Its for a client

They wanted their drive and refused a $10 ssd

Some people simply dont have the money

[pliant karma]

ah I see

[limpid fern]

Its on the “just a moment” screen now tho so almost done

Its been almost an hour

I started at 18:29 and its 19:26

[pliant karma]

I remember dealing with someone who refused to use the 256gb ssd I was willing to toss in free cause I had so many but he insisted using his 2tb hdd cause he did not want to have more then 1 drive in his system

or better way to word it 2 seperate drives

[limpid fern]

This is a laptop that wasnt an option

Im on the select your region screen lez go

[pliant karma]

oh I'll add that hdd died a couple months after he blamed me but I was like you provided your own drive I didn't touch it at all until installing the drive.

That's a discord glitch

[forest remnant]

Anyone notice that the beginning sponsor segment is getting longer?

It used to be nearly exactly 10 seconds, now it's closer to 16

And the lack of the animated intro means if you skip you're likely to miss half of the host's sentence

[gilded quest]

Uhhh

You notice sponsors with your blue name?

[forest remnant]

I bought fp like 3 days ago I'm not used to it

Also I'm out of the us, so mobile network is slower and fp doesn't handle buffering as well

[gentle slate]

idk where to ask, but what could create small black dots on a monitor?

like physical dots. On the glass itself

[dusty rune]

dead pixels?

[dusty rune]

dust maybe

[gentle slate]

Coz that wasnt here in the morning and now they're there.

[dusty rune]

can you wipe it off? do you feel anything when touching?

[gentle slate]

i feel bumps and they stuck

correction theyre actually white small dots

im so confused on wtf this is

weird ahh microscopic monitor barnacles

[limpid fern]

Paint

Food bits
Toothpaste

Some liquid

[dim forge]

With sponsor block I've noticed all of it got longer lately

All the "paid sponsor" segments are def longer

[forest remnant]

yea

[full fossil]

6700xt/6750xt

[forest remnant]

There's a wan show clip of Linus saying he wants to keep it at 2 arrow taps to skip sponsors but ig money talks more

[honest cedar]

how loud should a pc be?

[dim forge]

I mean for LTT stuff I have sponsor block turned off for the channels since we basically all know where they money is helping with the company lol

[dim forge]

What's your definition of loud first off

[honest cedar]

well its unexpected how loud it is even tho like not much is running

the temps are fine tho

[dim forge]

I mean if it's jsut chilling not doing much you shouldn't really hear it a whole lot over like your TV

[honest cedar]

alright nws

[dim forge]

That's what I would assume anyway lol

[pliant karma]

my pc I can hear a low hum when the room is silent minus the audible fan in my both of my battery backups

But I run noctua ippc fans so there is that

[dim forge]

Yea my suggestion is basically if your running stock or like not to high fan rpm lol

I have no idea how loud a PC "should be" if it's like oc'ed and all that lol

[pliant karma]

oh I have tinnitus so I need loud pc ha I can't handle silent systems or a silent room

always need some sort of ambient sound to not go crazy

[indigo phoenix]

Mine runs at like 1500RPM almost all the time with the default curves. But I set it higher by reducing the temp range by about 30º

[dim forge]

O I definitely feel that lol tinnitus squad lmao

[pliant karma]

atm got headphones on and music so it helps+ac unit in my room

[indigo phoenix]

Just checked and the new speed is usually around 2200RPM during light use. ~27ºC

[fierce moth]

Been thinking of making a custom gamecube mod

Custom pcb and everything

I'm currently in the ideas phase rn

[graceful burrow]

What would it do

[fierce moth]

Usb C pd power

[graceful burrow]

O
That wouldn't be too hard, I know there are psu replacement boards for the gamecube already

If you're just routing power for something as low power as a gamecube it's not that hard
Do it

[fierce moth]

So rough idea is, custom pcb that has voltage regulation (possibly regulation for amps) replaces the original power jack with a usb C port with a 3d printed cover, With usb pd profile support from 12v @ 3 amps upto 20 volts @ 5 amps, everything regulated hopefully

Been talking with some of the gc folks about it

Cause with the gamecube, a lot of information about usb C modding is inconsistent

Some recommending 12v pd modules while others recommending 15v and 20v

And documentation on the internal power supply seems to be non existent

[graceful burrow]

Definitely sounds like an area that needs more work

[fierce moth]

My idea is hopefully collect enough information to be able to make a mod that effectively allows usb C power input regardless of what usb C brick you use, then put that in a neat pcb that you can just solder on

And make it open source for the community

[graceful burrow]

You wouldn't even need to solder it into the gamecube, it's a separate board

[pliant karma]

lol said person who raided server is back on alt but that is good cause we know and the admins on the server have given me full rein to torment him so I stepped up moderation so he can test out the bot

this is gonna be fun

my test subject

[fierce moth]

It's an internal mod, sorry if I wasn't being clear

It replaces the original power jack with a usb C plug

[graceful burrow]

No I mean
If you make your own psu board to replace the one in the gc

[fierce moth]

That's easier said than done

[graceful burrow]

Send the voltages where they need to go

[ionic abyss]

How bad could a 10cent case be for a s23 ultra

[fierce moth]

this is the original internal power supply, that two pin power connector goes to a different board that has the actual externally accessible power plug

[ionic abyss]

The claim silicon rubber and carbon fiber and include a liquidpel liquid screen protector for the 10cent prrice

[fierce moth]

I personally don't know what each component's power usage is as documentation got lost to time

[graceful burrow]

Fair

[graceful burrow]

You'd genuinely have to be an idiot to believe it would be good lol

[fierce moth]

The power supply connects to this board

[ionic abyss]

Just not sure a 10cent case will protect my 1200 phone well

[graceful burrow]

I feel like it's doable

Not as a drop in replacement tho you are right

[fierce moth]

Rather than replace the entire power supply, have the old power jack removed and have that usb C giving the gamecube what ever the original external power supply was giving

[graceful burrow]

Yeah that's a lot easier

And gc psu's don't die left and right like some other retro consoles

[fierce moth]

That's one thing that's well known and can be adapted around

[sweet jetty]

Something's better than nothing

[fierce moth]

Just replace the bulky external part

The external gc psu currently outputs 12 volts @ 3.25 amps

So you just gotta make sure your voltage/current regulations can meet that

[graceful burrow]

Honestly not even that much power when you consider the standards back then
In the time of 60 watt light bulbs

[fierce moth]

Yep, Max power usage of 39 watts on the label

[graceful burrow]

Conversely
I can run gamecube games at 3 watts on the steam deck so like

Which is also nuts
How far we've come

[fierce moth]

Yeah but you'll always get that one guy making remarks saying it's not on original hardware

[graceful burrow]

There are merits to both sides of that argument

[fierce moth]

So that's why you gotta make mods to make the experience even better

[graceful burrow]

I say do whatever you enjoy more it doesn't matter kek

I want a big crt

[fierce moth]

Also now that a lot of cheap 3rd party psu's are flooding the market its making even more sense to have a usb C option

As it's both smaller and won't blow up lmao

And you can use the same charger for everything

It's even better if you have a GaN charger

I'm supprised how much VR headsets maintain their value on the second hand maket, because I wouldn't want a headset someone else has used.

Like GPUs CPUs especially RAM I gotcha, but VR headsets where you put it on where you sweat from the 3rd most... without a steep discount, 0 interest.

[lost latch]

How often it is in good taste to bump the #1027757333117415424 thread?

[glass lantern]

like even buying cloths second hand I would be more comforable with because you can throw them in a long wash in the washing machine with some oxi and they will be as fresh as new, but you can't throw a headset in the wash.

[graceful burrow]

Never, we have channels for a reason and crossposting can be seen as spam

[glass lantern]

To be fair I would suggest going to the forums instead

[graceful burrow]

Unless you mean just like
Posting in the thread

To bump it to the top
Do that as much as you want

I'll try that

[pulsar violet]

So I'm moving out for uni and have a HDD in my PC rn, how could I transfer everything onto a same capacity SSD to make that basically a copy that will replace the HDD?

[glass lantern]

well as long as the you are not using it as bootable media or don't have a bunch of applications installed on it you could just copy paste it.

[pulsar violet]

I have my seprate boot SSD drive but I have applications such as games and software aka discord and that stuff

[glass lantern]

but it is bootable you can pick up a acronis true image 2020 perpetual licence for like $10 - $15

[pulsar violet]

My boot drive is my SSD im good on that front, just want all other things to be safe as well

[glass lantern]

and to be fair it's just super handy to have an application that will backup your OS drive.

what should i get?

[pulsar violet]

or how can I transport a HDD safely? cause its a 6 hour drive and I'm not willing to keep my HDD in my PC chassis while transporting due to vibrations

[full fossil]

gtx 1650

[glass lantern]

honestly I have never had an issue transporting HDDs, they are a lot more hardy than they used to be.

I have litterally dropped unpowered HDDs and they have been fine.

[gilded quest]

A bigger budget
(How cheap can you find a 1070/1080?)

[pulsar violet]

Yea, Linuses Mark Rober and Facebook Server Rack video has me a little on edge with transport

[glass lantern]

not suggesting you try it and it should be avioded, but still

[gilded quest]

When I drove my server cross country I got a pelican case style hard drive carrier

[glass lantern]

as said though a backup/mirroring/imaging software solution is a nice to have anyway so I would suggest just taking the plunge and get a propetual licence, you will be suppsied how many times it comes in useful.

[pulsar violet]

Yea I'll look into it, thanks for helping btw

[full fossil]

i did that

[graceful burrow]

Now wait

[sick coral]

well that budget is for buying on ebay, locally i dont have to pay for import tax so my budget is more like 110$
as for the 1070, i did find this one for 95$, but i also found rx 580's for wayy cheaper, as well as an 81$ rx 5700 xt on ebay that i hope to be able to argue with the seller to bring it down

[gilded quest]

Oh 5700xt isn't bad

[mint dust]

Oh shit I appeared in the ltt vid

[full fossil]

get an rx 5700

[quartz thorn]

Can I talk about video games on here?

[ruby flare]

You mean 570 with that money ?

[full fossil]

if i meant 570 i would say 570

but i said 5700

[ruby flare]

With 75 buck

[full fossil]

yes

[ruby flare]

Sry i forgot im eu

[full fossil]

im in the uk and i managed to pick up a 5700 a while ago for about £80

570s are like £40-50

[ruby flare]

In france its a average of 200 euros sad

[fossil frost]

must have been broken or stolen, because they certainly dont cost that anywhere else in the uk

[ruby flare]

Oh god im not the only one who found that sus

Even use a 5700 for 80 its reaaaally cheap or you are pretty lucky

[full fossil]

when you understand a basic level of dealhunting, its possible

[sick coral]

pounds and dollarss are not the same

[full fossil]

but the market basically is

so if you treat £80 as if it were $80, it makes more sense in this market than if you were to directly convert £80 to dollars

ah thats fine lol

[gilded forge]

Windows S Mode (tho I haven't actually tested this in quite some time), Ublock has a site blocker built into it, a non-admin user account (local would probably be ideal, if you're in Win 10 that is), and I know MS Family and daily screen time exists, and ofc the built-in parental controls inside of Windows, Defender, and MS accounts.

luckily dew doesnt exist in vegas, it may be stupid hot here but its dry

until monsoon season that is

[trim dawn]

Tf is monsoon season?

[sturdy dune]

we get a years worth of rain in about 2-3 weeks

heavy downpour, also it doesnt get cooler lol

[trim dawn]

How often?

[sturdy dune]

end of summer

[shy kelp]

ahh yeah well the the NYC area the humidity is rediculas. Makes it so much worse. The city today smelled like a dirty ashtray full of stewed piss

[trim dawn]

Every year?

[sturdy dune]

yeah

[trim dawn]

We have that as well. Its January/December

[sturdy dune]

sometimes we get a little rain around then but not often

[trim dawn]

Except it kills around 100 people nationally, requires the military to be brought in

[sturdy dune]

woah

[trim dawn]

Don't forget about tons of insurance payouts

And hopefully, we get it early because 2/3 of Australia is supposed to be burned to charcoal

Y'all are gonna be mad but....I bought a 4060ti to swap out my 3060ti 😭😭😭

[sturdy dune]

[rare hamlet]

you should have gotten a 6700xt or something

[trim dawn]

Nah, I hate AMD gpus

[rare hamlet]

Bruh

[pliant karma]

I remember this conversation in another channel lol

[trim dawn]

They're the same price 😭😭😭

The 3060ti and 4060ti are the same price

[pliant karma]

4060ti 8gb or 16 since I know there is a 16 coming out

[rare hamlet]

Bro 💀

[trim dawn]

8gb. If I want high graphics with RT I'd just switch on my PS5

[pliant karma]

Non of the games I play support RT minus forza lel that I cranked to extreme.

kills my 3070s vram but ehh fps is over 100 so that is good enough

but then again I just play a lot of sims so my steam library just has a lot of flight sims and race/driving sims

[trim dawn]

I bought the 4060ti for $662AUD and the 3060ti is going for $720 AUD up to $950AUD

[sturdy dune]

woah

i mean the 4060ti does have less vram and lower bandwidth so

3060ti is actually an awesome card ngl

[trim dawn]

It is, but I need the frames for COD

Oh, and don't even get me started on the 3090ti pricing, the 4090 is 50%less than the 3090ti

Also, what is the best stuff for cable management?

[vapid zephyr]

It doesn't

Both cards have 8GB VRAM, they're talking about the 4060 Ti 8GB

[vapid zephyr]

Cable ties, if you feel fancy velcro ties

Don't buy them off of LTT though, you can get them for half the price off of Amazon, even with the same design

[fallen rover]

Is 8GB enough video memory for CS2?

[trim dawn]

I don't think you understand how bad my cable management is, I'll send you a pic

[vapid zephyr]

Easily

[fallen rover]

Thanks. I will buy it

[vapid zephyr]

People are bullshitting too much, 8GB will still easily run you like 90% of games

[fallen rover]

Ye true. I don't need it for ray tracing

I just do some efficient programming and video gaming

But I wanna be ready for CS2 this summer, gonna be more demanding than CSGO

[vapid zephyr]

Not by a lot, no

[trim dawn]

Hey, I sent you a pic of my messy setup

[vapid zephyr]

All that was done was add some cool shit and fix up the decade old textures

[vapid zephyr]

Not gonna look at that, I'm already sitting at 4,200 message requests

[gaunt compass]

my gpu needs 3, 8 pin connectors, but each cable has 2. so is it ok if the last connector is just hanging out in the case ?

[warm dust]

So wouldn't it be better to have a climate that has less powerful rainstorms but happens throughout the year?

We get thunder without rain so it starts fires easil

[manic torrent]

I responded with my sloppy meaty hot dog with beans

[vapid zephyr]

I used to like beans as a kid, now I kinda don't

[manic torrent]

rice and beans combine to form proteins you would otherwise need red meat to get. This is what I have learned.

[rare hamlet]

Ok so a pcie cable has the main cable and the pig tail. You want to use the main cables so you’ll have 3 hanging

[gaunt compass]

is there any way to remove this ? its blocking space for the psu cables

oh i cant send pictures

its like where the hard drive would go

+$9,000

[past egret]

ask your bank

write it off as business expense

[mint abyss]

gotta pay taxes for it too

and tip the 10 man team to install it

[dreamy rose]

8GB is fine for 1080P Low/Medium.

that being said, dont go buying the 4060Ti 16GB. thats a piece of shit

[dreamy rose]

CS2 has good reason to be more demanding. the glow up from Source to Source 2 is crazy. even TF2's stylized Graphics benefit greatly from Source 2's lighting and RT stuff

[vapid zephyr]

Even high, stop using AAA games as an example lol

[dreamy rose]

AAA is what people look at. yes older games are gonna be perfect. but people dont have hype for Cyberpunk anymore.

plus you wont be saying the same shit in 2 years will ya?

[vapid zephyr]

I will, no worries

Unless something huge happens that breaks everything, which is obviously impossible to estimate, 8GB is gonna be enough for 90% of things

[dreamy rose]

Oh people are gonna rip into you then

[vapid zephyr]

Nobody is gonna lmfao

We'll see what happens when 5000 series comes out, makes sense to re-evaluate my statement then

[dreamy rose]

when you say "8GB is enough for 1080 High" when they are expressly tired of optimizing for it and will not anymore. quite possibly have Low be the only one they optimise for. yeah people are gonna rip into you.

[vapid zephyr]

Nope, they're not gonna do shit

Can't be wrong if it's true after all

Most games are indie games, fuck AAA titles

[fallen rover]

It's not RT. It's temporal paralax cubemaps

[dreamy rose]

and by that point 8GB should be relegated to older cards. at least if Nvidia wants to be decent. which they probably will, its better marketing to the tech illiterate who see "ooh massive increase, i must buy!"

[dreamy rose]

they give the same effect.

[vapid zephyr]

Is a migraine the same thing as a concussion because in both instances it hurts the head?

[manic torrent]

8gb is fine if you have a card of 6600xt type performance or less

[vapid zephyr]

Ngl, re-evaluating the 4050 was worth it

I'm kinda hyped for it now
It'd be a great low profile card even if it's a ratshit 6GB card

[manic torrent]

Low profile is a very specific use case 🙂

[vapid zephyr]

Still, it's very good that you'd have the option

[dreamy rose]

isnt someone making the 4060 a LP card with 3 fans or something

[vapid zephyr]

All I want now is that it's $199, if it's $249 I'm gonna cry in the corner

[manic torrent]

Oh, it's way better than my T400 with 2gb

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah but the 4050 will most definitely be able to run without external power, the 4060 can't

[vapid zephyr]

It just barely can't, but it can't

[dreamy rose]

its literally gonna be 250, its Ada, low end becomes the shittest value you can get

[manic torrent]

The thing is... A low power card, and especially a low profile card you fundamentally change the market

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah, but they also decreased the price of the 60 tier card, the 3060 was $329

[dreamy rose]

they went down to 300? why would they go down to 200 from 250?

[vapid zephyr]

I don't fucking know, might as well pray at this point

It's very realistic for Nvidia to go with $249 because money grabbing garbage, but pray it's $199

[dreamy rose]

i see a 7500 being a 200 dollar card. and getting slammed because its a 500 class Radeon.

[vapid zephyr]

Because if it's $199 I can forgive the 4050 being worse than the 3050

[vapid zephyr]

I would have laughed my ass off if they just put in the marketing that you can put it in your optiplex 😏

[dreamy rose]

i'm waiting on AMD/Intel laptops. just cause its so odd i dont actually want it

[vapid smelt]

The used GPU Market will destroy the 4050 unless it doesn't need external power

[dreamy rose]

Intel/AMD exists already just not the other way around

[vapid zephyr]

Yes, that's what I'm hoping for

And considering the 4060 already pulls like 80w, it's very realistic

[dreamy rose]

god i hope they get a 7000G series in

they probably wouldnt need a 7500 if they threw a 16CU iGPU into a design

[gilded quest]

Phoenix apu in an AM5 package perhaps

[vapid smelt]

If only the 6500xt was a low profile card

[gilded quest]

Amds leaked strix point halo apus are for up to 16 CPU cores and up to 40 GPU CUs

[dreamy rose]

phoenix only does 12 max, though they could modify that like they did the Zen 2 stuff thats named 7000

[gilded quest]

Strix point is leaked for 12 hybrid Zen cores and 16 CUs

[dreamy rose]

they should be going from 2 to 40 with RDNA 3.5

over Strix and Strix halo

[gilded quest]

Idk how feasible it would be to add a bigger gpu into the chiplet design

[dreamy rose]

they arent trying to cram it into a regular chasis

seems they plan to have vRAM on die

[gilded quest]

Wat

I just want a gaming laptop with strix point halo and LPDDR5

[dreamy rose]

with Halo they arent aiming to put it in a regualr Laptop chasis. they are planning on SIs to make designs with new sockets and go rom there. since you shouldnt need a GPU it should be fine

you might not even want a GPU if the max TDP if the best deisgn is literally 120 watts.

[gilded quest]

Eh, I'd take a G14 with just an apu

https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv25338548

AMD just needs to release their 7800 XT or what not at 600-650 and they've got this gen. maybe 7800 at 550, 7700XT at 400-500, 7700 at 300-350

cause if the 7900 XT drops to 700 then their lineup fits.

XTX should be 800. no ifs or buts

This has practically everything you need to know to hackintosh anything, feel free to ask if you have problems, reddit has a huge community too

[sweet jetty]

? Not everyone just wants to game man, macOS is nice

[polar fern]

Meanwhile plays tons of games on his Mac

[crystal pike]

I can tell ya
I hackintoshed my laptop and its nust pointless

I don't play games
But i regret the time i wasted on hackintoshing

[sweet jetty]

Did you use a pre-made plist?

I have hackintoshed 5 laptops and they run buttery smooth

[crystal pike]

I made my own and did use a pre made plist about a year later because i lost mine

[sweet jetty]

Maybe you missed something, because proper plist and kexts will make your system mostly stable

[crystal pike]

I upgraded to an ssd and didn't have a sata to usb so i just used a premade one that time
But it was still pointless

[sweet jetty]

What specs were you rockin?

[crystal pike]

Its not about stability
Its just not exactly worth the time
My laptop is not that powerful either

[sweet jetty]

Congratulations, that's your problem

[crystal pike]

U series haswell cpu

[crystal pike]

I wouldn't expect an optiplex to be better tbh unless it has an H cpu

[sweet jetty]

How do you expect a not powerful laptop to perform beautifully with a hdd?

[polar fern]

Early renditions of mac osx had real plist corruption issues.

[crystal pike]

They work fine on mine

When it was hackintoshed

[crystal pike]

It has an ssd

[sweet jetty]

Do they flicker or just not work?

[sweet jetty]

You mentioned switching to it after

Huh, never encountered that one before

[crystal pike]

Ye when i upgraded i did hackintosh again

Heres a tip

Use a hard drive when creating installation medias
Takes seconds

If the hdd is recognized as a usb

[sweet jetty]

Some SSDs do that too, it's p fire

How to disable windows 10 command prompt boxes from popping up & disappearing while working on stuff?

[crystal pike]

windows issue = skill issue

[polar fern]

Useless response. Thanks. Blocked.

[sweet jetty]

Disable cmd from startup apps in task manager

Or it's an antivirus doing it (if you have one)

[crystal pike]

But im your friend

How can you do that

[polar fern]

Can I schedule it to wake from sleep, do the tasks, and sleep again?

That’s what I used to do in my mac only days.

I think it’s both the task scheduler & Norton

[dusky osprey]

do yourself a favor and uninstall norton

[polar fern]

Why?

[dusky osprey]

it's garbage

[polar fern]

Oh, so no actual reason. Gotcha.

[crystal pike]

I need some nature good looking wallpapers that are not trash for a 1440p display

[dusky osprey]

🤔 do you want me to write a theseus why or something

[polar fern]

“You should get rid of your antivirus on a computer I didn’t pay for”

Tech bros be like

[crystal pike]

If you don't know how to use the internet keep it

Or use linux
Built in antivirus

[sweet jetty]

Why do you have Norton 😭

[polar fern]

Do me a solid: parse advice that you’d take vs general public should take before dispensing.

Because I want my shit secure

[crystal pike]

Keep it secure by minimizing the amount of software you have
Stay up to date on updates
And use the latest version of a browser

[sweet jetty]

That's fair, but in my experience windows defender does prevent most malicious stuff

[polar fern]

Not good enough

[sweet jetty]

If you're more prone to getting hacked or downloading suspicious files, an antivirus makes sense

[polar fern]

$60 for a year of coverage more than adequate price/protection.

I have UPS for hardware, useless if the software gets crunked

Anyways

I guess I’ll have to look into off-hours scheduling

[sweet jetty]

What do you do, if you don't mind me asking?

[dusky osprey]

im not even against anti virsus software in the first place its just norton isnt doing anything more than windows defender actually does

[sweet jetty]

Yeah, Norton, mcafee, avast, they're all pretty suspecious and don't prove to be helpful tbh

[polar fern]

My initial question was about scheduling tasks so they don’t pop up random console windows that disappear not about what antivirus or not I should use

[sweet jetty]

I think you can do that, but you'll need to know what tasks are they in the first place

You can do that if it's cmd stuff* that is, I'm unsure about antivirus

[polar fern]

I’m genuinely not an idiot and I understand how these things work. Going off topic into some other thing which has nothing to do with what I’m asking about comes off as mansplaney and very much likely to ignore and/or block

[sweet jetty]

No one said you are one? It was a general discussion, we already answered your question before that...

[wispy marsh]

Yo wan show up?

[manic torrent]

win10 doesn't do this

something you have installed or group policy or whatever is doing it

[junior kite]

prob malware? i had to reset pc cus powershell windows would randomly open

[fierce moth]

Depends on what software you use

Always check your start up policies

[visual rain]

is cdkeys legit

[fierce moth]

It's a grey market, we can't help with that

[timid meadow]

Is it an organization/business machine?

If so you probably cant do anything.

[graceful burrow]

Nope, can't talk about third party sellers here

[timid meadow]

I mean, it doesn't air for another 12 hours or so

Wait no 36 hours its on Saturday this week

[wispy marsh]

?????????????

[timid meadow]

Because of LTX

Like 95% sure it was one of the last things talked about on last weeks wan. Unless thats the one your asking about then my b

[deep sedge]

i'm going to pee

[fierce moth]

Damn it, I need a ps2 DVD remote lol

[deep sedge]

i finished peeing

[deep sedge]

Powered by NVIDIA.

(because of the price)

[timid meadow]

Get a phone with IR

[graceful burrow]

Zekrom likes the real deal a lot

[wheat horizon]

upgraded my internet today

download and upload are better but the best thing is the latency

[sweet jetty]

W

We have a 500 connection here, mostly because no one stays here for super long lmao, idm it gets everything done

[wheat horizon]

went from a B on a bufferbloat test to A

[sweet jetty]

That's a W

[dreamy rose]

Bloat? oh you mean Windows

[wheat horizon]

[sweet jetty]

😭

[wheat horizon]

latency was 21ms unloaded with +36ms on active download

now its 4ms unloaded with +7ms on active download

i also dont have to use an ISP shitbox anymore, even in bridge mode

best birthday present

[native venture]

how old is your GPU guys?

[dreamy rose]

12

and don't laugh.

[native venture]

12, what? you didn't specify if its days, months or years. also what gpu is that?

[dreamy rose]

years

[native venture]

eyo, that's cool.

[fierce moth]

Not all ps2's have ir receivers in them

[fierce moth]

Unironically, the ps2 DVD player is the best one I have rn

[dreamy rose]

mmmm. riiight its not like it sold well as a console.

it sold as the dvd player

[native venture]

iirc, ps2 slim have IR receiver but i dunno if it applies to all model

but if you want a phone with IR blaster, go with xiaomi

[dreamy rose]

the fat model very well should have one

the remotes are for the DVD player part.

[fierce moth]

Only late model phats have in built ir receivers

[native venture]

hmmm, i see

[fierce moth]

Iirc from the 50000 model up

[dreamy rose]

so they made you use the Controller as a shitty remote or made you pay for a dongle AND a remote

[fierce moth]

Yeah

Although I can just get a remote plus dongle for 9 aud

[native venture]

hey, at least you cannot lose the controller unlike a remote that could slid between the couch foam

[dreamy rose]

well. it is harder to loose it, just not impossible

[idle nymph]

Round 6 month

[manic torrent]

just get a wifi/IR bridge

I have one in my office and I use it to change my AC when it's in here, and to turn my monitor on/off and switch inputs.

[fossil breach]

how can i use keymapper in wsa windows 10 ?

[buoyant otter]

if i get a 1080p monitor for my 6800xt what hz should i get,,, is 165 enough

[sweet jetty]

Whatever hz you really need 😭

[buoyant otter]

[sweet jetty]

Uhhh

[graceful burrow]

There is no "enough"

[sweet jetty]

It can handle practically any framerate 1080p monitor

[buoyant otter]

o 😭

[graceful burrow]

It's personal preference

[buoyant otter]

im just broke so like monitor expensive

[sweet jetty]

Do you game?

[buoyant otter]

yesh

[sweet jetty]

Is your PC primarily built for gaming?

Like, that's the main thing you wanna do?

[buoyant otter]

yeah

[undone inlet]

hehe i made ai :)

[sweet jetty]

Alright, so you need a combination of good framerate and well, budget

[undone inlet]

200kib fiinished model

[sweet jetty]

Ayy grats! What sort?

[buoyant otter]

yeah

[sweet jetty]

Look at how much you're willing to shell out, and head to Amazon and set filters by price

[buoyant otter]

okok

[sweet jetty]

Don't forget to look at Youtube reviews :)

[buoyant otter]

in your opinion is a 1080p 165hz for 165$ good? its acer

[sweet jetty]

It's the nitro thing, right?

[buoyant otter]

yep

[sweet jetty]

I've seen some people use it, never seen it in person, so can't really comment on it

[buoyant otter]

would you say its good value in terms of specs?

[sweet jetty]

Im sorry but this advice is coming from a person who uses a TV as a monitor so 😭

[buoyant otter]

W

welp

i didnt know windows 11 was so expensive to activate

[sweet jetty]

I mean, it does seem like a decent deal ngl but I'll still see YouTube just in case

[potent sage]

Do you think a 4090 could rum minecraft

[buoyant otter]

[sweet jetty]

Windows being windows, you can literally buy a used ThinkPad or smth from eBay with activated windows and use the key in the same price as buying a new key 😭

[buoyant otter]

fr

wait i have a dell computer can i take the key from it??

[sweet jetty]

Yeah

[buoyant otter]

o shit how

[sweet jetty]

Type "wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey" in cmd and it'll show you your key

[buoyant otter]

ok perfect

[sweet jetty]

Ofc not dude
