Hmmm a t14 with an i7/ ryzen 7 would be your best bet or if you're able to find an x1 extreme for that price, it would be a steal (ofc very hard steal to find)

I found some but with u series chips like i5 10--- u

I think it's low power

[sweet jetty]

Yeah, no don't go under i7/ ryzen 7 since the t14 has 4th gen chips anyways

[sharp parcel]

I thinking there's new t14's

[sweet jetty]

Don't look for new lmao, you never look for new ThinkPads, find some on ebay

[native venture]

oh, new gpu i see

[sweet jetty]

ThinkPads are very much used in corporate, they upgrade like every 2-4 years so chances are you can find a barely used one for half, sometimes 1/4th the price, that's why ThinkPads are still so famous

Would lighting a spicy iphone 4 battery on fire be dangerous?

[undone inlet]

nah

just put educational perposes

it wouldn't explode cause its on camera

[undone inlet]

just get a knife

I just saw one blow up on yt and it looks like thermite

[dreamy rose]

mmm. what for?

[undone inlet]

up and down motion.

[fossil frost]

ive stabbed several phones right through the battery. its fine. it doesnt explode, it just fizzles, and gives you plenty of time to move out of the way before it does anything too dangerous... although, dont do it inside, because it can light your house on fire

[dreamy rose]

it really depends on how charged it is how violent it goes, though any charge can burn down an office if the room is flammable enough and it goes unattended for that long.

you can get chairs that'll Combust in some similar fashion. its weird thinking a chair out of all things could be a fire hazard.

I just tried using my i5-12400 to encode on OBS, damn I was impressed that it doesn't have blurry pixels on the same bitrate as my 1060 NVENC encoding.

But since 1060 is 7 years old already, can I safely use my CPU to do encoding on OBS?

[graceful burrow]

Why wouldn't it be safe

[full bear]

It’ll be fine

[dusky osprey]

No the encoding police will come after you

amd 6000 is a great value at the moment

does anyone "own" the pcmr branding? i was a bit shocked to see it on the merch

Just don’t be stupid on those sites and you ll be fine

Dang, I'm poor. I only have my phone, PS4, and leapfrog laptop. At least the leapfrog laptop is in 4k with an i9 processor

[shell lichen]

looking at an old pc mobo, all the stuff online says it has 2 usb headers, with a variant version labelled to have 3, but looking at mine, the mobo headers are labelled 2 and 3 (usb4 has nothing on it on mine). looking around mobo, i found a header labeled usb1 alll the way back by the rear io. Would that be usable you think? Do people online not notice that header cause its nestled RIGHT up against rear IO and partially obscured by exhaust fan? got an image online of the variant with 3 headers on bottom, and then photos of mine with 2 and an empty one at bottom, then a close up of usb1 at rear

[versed wave]

Probably 9 or 10 wan show is always late but we still love them

[vernal moth]

Hello, is there anyone i can ask for help or advice about an issue ive been having with my laptop? Already sent it to service the second time. Problem occurs at home, but not in showroom lol.. its really frustrating

Hey! Part of your name is from tkinter!

@hearty spear cant in this channel, did in both tech chat channels

[versed wave]

Damn I’m not even 30 years old

[hearty spear]

yes those are 3 usable usb headers

[shell lichen]

including the close up photo of the one at the back by exhaust?

[hearty spear]

Si

nothing else has the same 5,4 pin setup

[shell lichen]

wonder why NOBODY online mentions that rear header, they onlu mention 2 at bottom from mine, and 3 at bottom from the variant

[vernal moth]

because getting units like that installed generally takes months to get ahold of the parts?

One of ours at work broke, and it's expected to take 4 months to get the replacement parts

I like how I choose the brightest color xbox controller

[finite cloud]

What was what? Hot pink?

[gilded forge]

so twitter isn't twitter anymore. so what if Mark rebranded Threads as Twitter

[fossil frost]

as bright as this?

[gilded forge]

the black buttons annoys me

[fossil frost]

there was no option to make it match the blue

[pliant karma]

MC didn't have many color options I just went random

[polar fern]

twitter is for goose-stepping folks, has been for over a year now

anyone still there .. yikes

[full fossil]

twitter? what's that?

[polar fern]

indeed

[full fossil]

all I know is X.com

[gilded forge]

Ms is weird. I just use the default black on black controller because I don't need anything flashy. plus it matches the series x

[fossil frost]

only if you make it that way, if you choose to stick to the places that are still worth being, its fine

[polar fern]

i too have a font domain

[fossil frost]

i wanted a second controller, and i had just got myself through a.. major life event... so i treated myself to a custom controller

[polar fern]

its called hate speech sans moderation, best site ever

[finite cloud]

That is pretty bright

[fossil frost]

again, if you go looking for the hate speech, its very easy to find, but if you look for literally anything else, you find that too... you only find what you choose to find on twitter

[polar fern]

anyways back to ksp and other non-short mustache guy gang worshiping things

[fossil frost]

yep, keep your eyes and mind closed, keep believing you are right, and everyone else is wrong... as you always do

[polar fern]

[full fossil]

I hate pastel colours, makes me nausaute

[gilded forge]

not entirely true. a new Twitter account scrolling through a brand new "for you" timeline is gonna be full of absolute conservative assholes and nazis and Elon

[polar fern]

exactly

[full fossil]

lemme do that and get back to you for fact checking to see if you're a liar.

[polar fern]

jumped that sinking ship last november

and to be honest, twitter was an ugly mess before the rat sank it

[fossil frost]

i signed up for a new account to test this theory a few weeks ago... i saw mostly the same sort of people i see on the youtube front page... mostly mr beast style influencers... and within seconds of searching for some cycling and swimming content... thats all i see on that account now

[polar fern]

just hastened the demise

[gilded forge]

I mean Elon supports Tucker Carlson and Desantis...so his idealogy would reflect what new users would see because Elon is most likely what new people see first.

[polar fern]

and that guy who accidentally slipped on a bannana peel in his jail cell - they were besties

[pliant karma]

I try to stay neutral but I misplace sutff in my office enough that I just need something really bright so I can see it easily

[full fossil]

doesn't, if you interact with clearly politicals tweets related to him of course you will.

[polar fern]

anyways - oribital rescue pods

[fossil frost]

@polar fern is well known for seeking out whatever corner of the internet dislikes them, just to prove a point, and then when you disprove what they have said, rather than being an adult about it, they block you and tell you that you are wrong and blame everyone else, when they are the common thing that is wrong

[polar fern]

i keep forgetting to lock the rcs tanks

[gilded quest]

Doesn't the algorithm have a special rule to extra promote elons tweets?

[full fossil]

twitters algorithm is there for you to browse, you can make it personalised for you and show liberal content like how you probably want it to be.

[finite cloud]

I just turned my Xbox on to look at it why is it a PlayStation now

I thought the code was leaked lol

[gilded forge]

Elon, Twitter employees, and any creator with Blue.

had it for about a month now and I hate it. I regret being invited to Alpha Skip Ahead...

[finite cloud]

This is public so it’s official now

[gilded quest]

That must be new. I had him blocked just fine until I deleted my Twitter a few weeks ago

[polar fern]

what kinda speakers you got going on there @finite cloud

[gilded forge]

oh btw if you scroll down, there's a section called "most played games" it's basically a panel for ads on the most played games on the Store.

[finite cloud]

Klipsch ones I don’t know the exact model

[polar fern]

yeah i think it kept getting played with till he installed that new ceo

oh nice

i hooked my soundsicks 3 to myu girlfriend's smart tv - they sound amazing except a bit directional and no wireless remote.

[finite cloud]

Xbox Home Screen has always had ads but now it’s just only ads. You used to be able to customize it to look basically however

[polar fern]

been looking or a replacement with remote

[full fossil]

misinformation, you can block elon musk....

[gilded forge]

I grew up with the Blades dashboard, and then the Xbox 360 was updated two more times, eventually landing on a glorified Bing ad.

[gilded forge]

[fossil frost]

the blades dashboard was great, it was just really really fucking slow to respond

[full fossil]

weird, he's there when I block him, really weird right?

[gilded quest]

Well...I can't anymore cause I don't have an account

[polar fern]

ugh i need to disable like 60 of those tiny monoprop tanks on this craft x-x

[dusk sparrow]

I took off the CPU Cooler and the entire fockin CPU came out

[polar fern]

@full fossil its not misinformation, haha

[finite cloud]

This default background reminds me of a PlayStation too

[vapid smelt]

Smh you didn't twist

[polar fern]

um

[dusk sparrow]

I was having trouble screwing in the stock cooler it was being a bitch so I had to take it off and on a few times

[polar fern]

well you skipped a step - is the lockdown bracket busted?

[dusk sparrow]

Entire CPU came out 💀

[finite cloud]

Oh never mind it changes based on the color theme

[dusk sparrow]

I was replacing the thermal paste so it was fine before

[vapid smelt]

Am4/Ryzen bracket sucks ass

[polar fern]

-shrug-

i don't tinker so it not an issue for me

[full fossil]

okay man keep spreading misinformation, what next? can't unfollow elon musk?😂 :

[dusk sparrow]

I have the most GHETTO setup you'll ever see rn

The screws on the stock cooler are fucked so I have my PC sideways and the cooler just placed on top 💀

[polar fern]

look at this guy

[vapid smelt]

....

[polar fern]

go ackchually someone else man, not interested

[dusk sparrow]

My thermals are ok atm lol

[polar fern]

are zip ties involved?

[dusk sparrow]

Nah its just sitting on top

[full fossil]

lmaooo

[dusk sparrow]

IF IT WORKS IT WORKS

Probably gonna get a new CPU/MB/Case cus this isn't a long term solution

No need to replace my GPU at this time tho

[gilded quest]

No embed 😤

[full fossil]

blame discord for no mkv support

[fossil frost]

yeah, annoyed about that, im supposed to have perms

ahh, shitty discord

[gilded quest]

mkv bad?!

[full fossil]

discord bad

[fossil frost]

ill fix

[gilded quest]

Gif it

[polar fern]

humm

symmetry tool ftw

[fossil frost]

blocking elon is easy (mp4 version)

[polar fern]

only 30 to lock hehe

[dusk sparrow]

U think I should keep my PC in this ghetto position or replace the Cpu/mb

[polar fern]

howevee i have an issue - the 5 person pods need more RCS and they also need a docking port on the one side but they are already a bit tall off the core

[dusk sparrow]

It's currently working

[pliant karma]

dicsord just doesn't like mkv

[polar fern]

if the bracket is actually broken, definitely i would replace. it's just asking for issues

[gilded quest]

Ayo

[dusk sparrow]

The screws on the cpu cooler were defo fucked as well it was refusing to screw in full stop

[polar fern]

yeah you could end up pulling pins out part way and killing the cpu

[dusk sparrow]

Was thinking of replacing the CPU at some point

It's an r7 2700

[polar fern]

well it would happen with any cpu if the lockdown is not working

[merry hare]

Is anyone familiar with switching from AMD to Nvidia?
I should use DDU first to uninstall the AMD drivers and then after i take out the AMD gpu i put the Nvidia and install Nvidia drivers, correct?

[full fossil]

and the thing is, I follow elon musk and check his tweets often but still rarely see him in my feed.
the reason he shows up on peoples feed is because he has 150m followers.

[full fossil]

yep!

[fossil frost]

i couldnt care less where he appears and how... my point was that "you cant block elon" is provably false

[polar fern]

electronics such as cpu do not like intermittent contact, very bad for the intake gates - can fry them

[gilded quest]

Uh

Intake gates?

[polar fern]

yes

[gilded quest]

Plz elaborate

[polar fern]

you ever heard of transistors? they're binary gates

[dusk sparrow]

Its firmly on atm

[merry hare]

thanks

[gilded quest]

What do you mean by intermittent contact tho

[fossil frost]

"intake gates" are not a thing.. the pins on a cpu dont directly connect to any transistor too, they connect through PLLs or through diodes, or resistors

[gilded quest]

Like removing and replacing the CPU on occasion?

[dusk sparrow]

Its cus my PC is ghetto asf rn

[polar fern]

youre really asking me to type out factual info that you can learn yourself? D:

[fossil frost]

again, TransitBiker talking absolute bollocks and expecting everyone to just accept it

[gilded quest]

You run the risk of physical damage, but the fuckin transistors don't give a shit

[fossil frost]

yes, because you are bullshitting and we are calling you out on it

[dusk sparrow]

I took off the CPU cooler and the entire cpu came off 💀
the cooler was refusing to screw in so I have my PC case sideways rn and the cooler just placed on top

[fossil frost]

yeah, done the same thing myself, i just put the cpu back and it was fine

[dusk sparrow]

Running 50 degrees on apex

[polar fern]

if the cpu loses physical contact rapidly with the socket on just a few pins with active current, iy can create current spikes that fry the intake gates

[dusk sparrow]

The screws on the cooler r fucked

I might just get a new cooler

[fossil frost]

there is no such thing as "intake gates" you are talking absolute bollocks

[dusk sparrow]

at the moment its working fine lol

[polar fern]

most solid state semiconductors dont like jank connection with their board

[gilded quest]

Yeah intake gate is nonsensical

[polar fern]

uh ok.

do a google search for "transistor"

[fossil frost]

they have blocked me for disagreeing with them, and proving it, in the paste, ask them to explain

[fossil frost]

"transistor" isnt "intake gate" if you google "intake gate" you get fuck all to do with CPUs

[gilded quest]

Transistors have gates, yes, but "intake gate" isn't the right way to think about them

[polar fern]

love how i gotta detailed elaborate everything

[gilded quest]

You shouldn't be fuckin with the CPU when the system has active power, that's correct

[fossil frost]

tbh, @polar fern is bordering on intentionally spreading misinformation here

[polar fern]

thanks for mansplaining, how could i ever get by my electrocis classes with you - hero ❤️

[fossil frost]

you are a liar

[dusk sparrow]

Im not touching it 💀 gonna just leave it

Temps are ok

[gilded quest]

I've never been someone's hero before

[dusk sparrow]

Want u lots opinions

[gilded quest]

I feel all warm and fuzzy now 😊😊

[full fossil]

a little shock hasn't killed anybody :)

[dusk sparrow]

I'm going to College in a couple months, should I bring my entire PC or get an eGPU casing and use my Huawei 16s

[fossil frost]

being shocked doesnt kill you... your heart stopping is what kills you

[gilded quest]

No but removing certain components from an active system is highly likely to damage them

[full fossil]

if there is space, preferably the PC

[dusk sparrow]

My only issue is transporting it

[gilded quest]

Did you keep the case box

[fossil frost]

be careful, and it will be fine

[dusk sparrow]

Nope

[gilded quest]

Bruh

[dusk sparrow]

My Laptop has an i9-12900H, 16 gigs of ram whereas my PC is an r7 2700 and 32 gigs of ram

Ram is the same speed ish on both

[fossil frost]

a laptop 12900 isnt a desktop 12900, nowhere close 🙂

[gilded quest]

Is the desktop gonna be mostly for gaming, and the laptop for schoolwork?

[pliant karma]

my friend when he removed the stock cooler off his 3600

[dusk sparrow]

Yes

[gilded quest]

I would take them both, personally. Unless your dorm is very tight on space

[dusk sparrow]

Was thinking of keeping an eGPU case inside my room and plugging in the laptop when back from lectures etc

[dusk sparrow]

Fair

[gilded quest]

So that's the other thing

[pliant karma]

actually he ask me to do it I just yanked the cooler off like it was nothing since I ran a some warm up tests on it but cpu did rip out...still alive though

[gilded quest]

Are you gonna want to dock your laptop at your desk to do schoolwork regardless of having the desktop?

[dusk sparrow]

probs not

My only concern was logistically it'll be easier with a laptop as I'll be getting there via a train and not a car

[gilded quest]

Then I say bring the desktop

[dusk sparrow]

Can probs put the PC into a suitcase

[gilded quest]

Oh, that makes it a bit difficult

If you can transport the desktop safely, I'd do that. Cheaper than getting egpu case

[full fossil]

full desktop power CPU on a laptop without any dgpu would make a good combo with a egpu

[fossil frost]

or take the laptop with no egpu case at all... and then you have no excuse for not doing your work

[dusk sparrow]

Not an option ❤️

[gilded quest]

Do you already have the egpu enclosure?

[dusk sparrow]

Saw one on FB Marketplace for about 150

[gilded quest]

That's not terrible

[fierce moth]

me like shooting things in vr

[hazy sleet]

macbooks are better than windows laptops, except for gaming and some compatibility issues

why is anthony called emily

[green forge]

Okay so I asked about this week.
But i have a mint Xbox 360, kinect, two controllers, PSU, and 6 games.
What price should I set for it?

[hazy sleet]

150$

[green forge]

Got it, thanks!

[gilded quest]

Ya know, it's kinda like different products are better for different people/uses

[hazy sleet]

but as a laptop, macbooks are better at so many fundamental stuff of a laptop: screen, build quality, speakers, microphone, touchpad, webcam, battery, keyboard

[gilded quest]

Again, it really depends what you need

[fierce moth]

but do i have to pay 500 bucks if something goes to shit?

[gilded quest]

Yes they have better battery life, but that's not a primary concern for some people

[fierce moth]

most likely yes

[plush sluice]

POV: you weren’t paying attention to how much sugar you were adding and made the sweetest coffee ever

[green forge]

something something, claiming x product is better than y product is a straw man's argument. Ultimately down to personal choice/opinion

[gilded quest]

Sometimes you need to run software that's only gonna work on an Nvidia gpu

[plush sluice]

This coffee is sweeter than any Starbucks coffee and that’s saying something

[gilded quest]

There's different products for different people

[green forge]

Sometimes you value upgradeability.
Sometimes you value how fixable or durable it is.

[gilded quest]

There's great products from a variety of suppliers which is good for consumers since they can pick the product that best fits their needs

[green forge]

like there's a reason Thinkpads and framework laptops are popular

[gilded quest]

Yay competition

[fierce moth]

i love myself a good thinkpad

[gilded quest]

I barely see thinkpads these days

And framework is still a niche within a niche

[green forge]

So do I tbh, dunnoh what happened to them but yeah

[fierce moth]

rn framework is a bit inaccessable if you're not in "the know"

[green forge]

not niche enough to not have supply constrains

[green forge]

or live outside the US. something something paying for shipping and import taxes is not worth it

[gilded quest]

i think framework has been the most positive linus has been about a product

[gilded quest]

And supply constraints isn't uncommon for a fledgling company with limited production capacity and capital

[fossil frost]

my thinkpad does not look nice at all... its chunky... but... it has a 12700, 64gb of ram, and 4tb of nvme storage, and a battery that will give me 5 or so hours of decent usage with those components, or, a set of fans that make it sound like a jet engine when im pushing it to its limit when plugged in... my thinkpad isnt designed for me to use for dick swinging in starbucks... its a tool that does a job for me 🙂

[gilded quest]

Again, I hope framework takes off

I'd like to buy one someday, but I won't be shopping for a laptop again for a few years

probably because they are not allowed to ship to iran, so easiest course of action to avoid having to go through the effort of refunds, is just to block access in iran

[marsh folio]

anyone wanna play gartic phone w me link is my bio

my XM4's are fantastic

[rapid jackal]

I like my Sennheiser Game Zero; Use it for Gaming and Work

[mint yacht]

Wireless headphones may have latency which will absolutely make them not good for gaming most of the time

And by may have I mean they absolutely do

[finite cloud]

$400 can get you a good audio setup

[devout needle]

i get that but what would be a good option then?

[mint yacht]

IEMs for travelling, normal headphones for gaming at home

[fringe haven]

[fossil frost]

obsessed with faster loading times... the less compression you use on your images, the less decompression you have to do, so levels and other assets load faster

games already load fast

I was looking at the Discord profile of an LMG staff member and they have an X account connected, but it looks like someone sniped the username and is now using it to post X's about crypto

[fossil frost]

DM the staff member, DM the mods?

also, as much as musk wants it to be called X, its still twitter, and its still tweets 🙂

[finite cloud]

Which staff member is it?

[misty scarab]

Emily

[finite cloud]

Oh. Yeah I don’t know how you would get in contact with the staff but maybe if one of them comes around you can tell them to pass it to her. Or DM the mods and maybe they can. LMG forums could work too

[polar fern]

So the asrock b550 taichi has 8 sata connectors, but 4 connect to a RAID controller, and 4 are standard?

anyone want to comment if its good?

[full fossil]

did you already buy it?

I have it in front of me

so you're looking for validation of your purchase

just want to know if people think its a good monitor!?

Does LMG have a a patent on the screwdriver?

[full fossil]

uh yeah

[jaunty compass]

I'm sure they've gone through the requisite procedures to protect it legally

[past egret]

no, henry f phillips does

[austere mulch]

not on the ratchet, I thought it was licensed?

same with the clip storage, no idea what would be patented tbh

"Using patents from Megapro Tools Inc.: 5,265,504 & 7,258,046"

from the store page, nothing afaik is patented by lmg/CW

[manic spire]

I was just wondering, what would keep megapro from cloning it

[indigo pendant]

Depends on the licensing agreement with LMG.

[full fossil]

24 inch ips 240hz 1080p or 27 1440p 27 inch 144/165hz

[final matrix]

not bad, definitely not a terrible purchase

[vapid crown]

I’ve been looking for a new 4k monitor lately. I was looking at 27” but got convinced for 32

Trying to avoid ASUS if possible.

[finite cloud]

you picked a good product but next time if you want an opinion, just ask before you buy. there are a lot of knowledgable people here

[long briar]

unlikely, but the mechanisms have patents from other companies. Bit storage and and ratchet is Megapro, for example

Handle design isn't really patent-able

the mods to megapro's ratchet to be even lower backdrag would still be under megapro's patent, as is the bit holder design.

The only part that may be patented is the ninja star that allows for two different size bits to be stored

Why is Floatplane not linked on LTT Video descriptions anymore same with the about for LTT I remember there being a link for LTT's Floatplane at some point

[wispy marsh]

Because everyone knows about floatplane at this point

Or their editor just forgot it

Might wanna submit a query ticket

[scarlet flame]

oh I thought it was like this special yt thing to not be in TOS of yt or whatever

advertising of another video platform is what I meant to say

[wispy marsh]

I don't watch twitch, but you bet current streamers have video links to all of their twitch or xHub sites on the yt

[scarlet flame]

wait no im dumb I forgot about that

Personally I’d get the 27 1440p. The difference between the two qualities is pretty noticeable

[winged ferry]

are sony xm4s good for gaming

and are they better than the playstation pusle 3d headphones

[vapid crown]

Are gaming on a console?

[winged ferry]

ps5 and pc

i also want stuff that is good for listening to music

[vapid crown]

Ah. I’m not sure how good it would be for pc gaming because of Bluetooth lag. Don’t know much but most wireless headsets include a wireless dongle.

[winged ferry]

im pretty sure you can use them wired

[vapid crown]

If you can then it shouldn’t be a problem. I’d double check first

[winged ferry]

or i might get a steel series headset

[vapid crown]

They’re pretty good.

[winged ferry]

i have the ps5 pulse 3d and they are decent but i want something better

[quick spindle]

I'm having so many random, not major, issues with my new pc, imma just cry T.T

[manic torrent]

Xm3 is ironically better. XM4 does not support low latency codecs like aptX and LDAC

[winged ferry]

do the xm3 still sound close to the level of xm4?

[manic torrent]

Honestly I don't know.

[winged ferry]

what are some other good headphones for gaming and music

are the sony whch720n headphones good?

[manic torrent]

There are reviews all over the interlols

But basically anything wired or with dedicated USB wireless dongle is fine in terms of latency

[winged ferry]

i mostly used them wired anyway so that doesnt matter for me

Cool now that you have both of those pieces of info you've got all you need to do a quick Google search to see what other 13900k's get so you can compare your performance

[mossy pendant]

yup

can't wait to build my own ltt screwdriver. i was never the biggest fan of the orange accents

I finally realized to stop waiting for a pi to come back in stock, and I ended up just buying a used nuc for 100 bucks haha

[small scroll]

Can someone help me with the rgb on my case

[finite cloud]

if you want one ill sell it to you. i have a few Pis im not using. a Pi 2, 3 and a Zero W 1

i also have a Pi 3 B+ that doesnt work

[mossy pendant]

I'm good, but thanks!
I was gonna get an 8gb pi 4 but i was able to get a more powerful nuc for even cheaper haha

[mossy pendant]

#1027757333117415424

[finite cloud]

yeah thats true you can do that, for $30 more too

pretty much the only thing Pis are good for is the pins and small size

i know they can do other stuff but compared to a nuc thats what they benefit from

[velvet marsh]

i need to find my 3b+ for my 3d printer

[finite cloud]

also the storage can be changed

[mossy pendant]

I'm just running headless ubuntu server on an i5 6260U with 8gb of ram. overall, i'd say its better than if i'd have bought the pi 4

[finite cloud]

its definetly better for a server

my server is a Mac Mini. I have a pihole running too but i might turn it off and use the Mini because thats already my server for other stuff

im using a PoE Pi 4 for Pihole

[final matrix]

i use a alienware x51 r2 from like 2013 converted into a rack with a i5 4430, 16gb ram and a gtx 1060 as my server right now

it’s extra jank but it gets the job done for right now

[velvet marsh]

My server is a 9900k 32gb of ram on Unraid

Do microphones improve with age? Mine sounds much better today than what it sounded like in 2015

[final matrix]

i also use mcsnet gigabit internet - they run fiber to a tower and then they use relay nodes to wirelessly carry the signal around the town - i get 700-1500mbps depending on the conditions and around 600 up and down on the wifi (ax1800 linksys e7350, i wanna upgrade a little more)

[finite cloud]

the way you record might be different. audio doesnt really tend to change much over time

[final matrix]

sometimes drivers can improve over time, besides that - no (apart from above)

what mic do you use?

[fallen rover]

Blue Yeti with a sock on it

It's a condensor type of mic

[final matrix]

the original blue yeti got an update with Blue Voice on G Hub it didn’t originally have

[full fossil]

i use a pretty budget mic

[final matrix]

so G Hub let’s you apply EQ, compressor, limiter, etc in real time but that was a recent addition to the original yeti

[fallen rover]

I didn't know that. I've just used the mic without software tbh

[full fossil]

i got an open box samson meteor mic for £25. tiny little condenser usb mic

[fallen rover]

Those are great. 3kliksphilip recommends them

[full fossil]

yeah, it sounds great but picks up a ton of background noise lol

[fallen rover]

Might have to change the gain in Windows. I set mine to less than 100 and it makes zero noise

[full fossil]

it says the volume of the mic is at 84

[fallen rover]

It's not called gain, sorry. It's audio level

[full fossil]

yeah it just picks up so much background noise

picks up my whole house, even with windows/doors closed

ive tested it, i've been able to go all the way across my house, downstairs, have a conversation with my gf, and my mic upstairs in my room can pick it up quietly but clearly

how do i fix this

[graceful burrow]

If you unplug the mic it can't pick up stuff it shouldn't

[fallen rover]

So strange. I know 3kliksphilip uses one and he sounds perfect

Not like a professional mic, but still no noise

[final matrix]

he uses it when he’s on the go i think but most videos are recorded with a blue yeti iirc

[fallen cedar]

there is so much software shit that gets done

[final matrix]

i may be wrong though, he might’ve upgraded further

[full fossil]

maybe i should try clownfish voice changer's ai denoise thingy

oh wow it sounds much better

my mic is very close to my keyboard (about 10cm away give or take) and it isnt picking it up

[fallen rover]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7aTFzQKamA&ab_channel=3kliksphilip

He sounds good here, it's from his 2013 era

At the 1:40 mark he says motorbiking streak of lightning

[final matrix]

Krisp also is pretty good at AI denoising - Discord has support for it built in to the client (in voice settings), but it’s available standalone too

[full fossil]

krisp sounds... idk what the right word is, messy?

sometimes it'll even have a hard time picking up my voice

but sometimes it'll also pick up stuff in the background, clownfish seems to negate that

[fallen rover]

I've tried that at times but my e gf doesn't like the quality of it with asmr

[fallen cedar]

e gf

[full fossil]

lol

[fallen cedar]

Nope

[fallen cedar]

chore or a hore

Chore. As in something isn't fun, feels like work

[fallen rover]

My e gf

[fallen cedar]

is it just a voice call

if it is bait I don't care, too curious

[gusty shuttle]

[fallen rover]

Yeah. Basically she calls me at specific times when I'm with friends in real life, and then I can show them who's calling and they think that I have a gf

It's all a facade

this conversation is a façade

youre a façade

my 20 year old sister is talking to stuffed animals and i’m concerned

[full fossil]

we arent

[dreamy rose]

why?

[neon mesa]

i'm starting to regret buying the 5600 early lmfao
i bought at 112 USD
it's now at 92 USD
that's a solid 20 bucks drops in 20 days

[slim creek]

idk

[dreamy rose]

AM4 going mad cheap now.

[neon mesa]

a CPU of this caliber for only 92 USD....

if only GPUs are the same

[dreamy rose]

seems we've hit a floor right now. maybe later we'll see cheaper prices but for now stuff gotta come out

[full fossil]

you talking about the 5600g or the plain 5600?

cuz i dont think i've seen the 5600 under $120 USD yet

[dreamy rose]

over here the G is cheaper

189AUD vs 199 for the 5600

[fierce moth]

Damn, might have to cop with birthday or Christmas money

As my 4th gen 4670k is showing its age

But gpu upgrade comes first

[full fossil]

unless ur gpu is incredibly weak, it shouldnt come first with that caliber of cpu

i wouldnt touch a 4c4t with a 10 foot pole, even for a basic office system

[neon mesa]

5600

[graceful burrow]

Where is it that low

[full fossil]

i dont think even used prices are hitting that low

[fierce moth]

The 4670k is still plenty performant for my uses, gpu is a much more important atm

[neon mesa]

local marketplace

though a detail i forgot to include is it's OEM with only 1 year warranty

[graceful burrow]

So a one off deal
Which means it's not really down to that price lmao

[neon mesa]

not a one off deal, OEM chips are sold constantly

[full fossil]

if its a local marketplace, i'd consider it one-off as it isnt really replicable for a lot of people

[graceful burrow]

But they aren't readily available to everyone
Which nullifies the claim

[neon mesa]

not to your place maybe

but these tray CPUs are readily available on my place

[full fossil]

"oh yeah theyre sold constantly as long as you live in one specific area"

[neon mesa]

so like a 5600x3D

[full fossil]

as aldonist says, that nullifies the claim

[neon mesa]

did i say it's for everyone?

[full fossil]

the thing is; the 5600x3d isnt cheap, nor is it being sold constantly

[neon mesa]

i just said i regretted it because for me it's now 92 USD

[full fossil]

nope, but you also didnt say it was specifically for anybody either

[neon mesa]

also if you want it that badly, aliexpress has them

[bright mauve]

Hi guys, my name is Samuel, I'm a frontend developer with 1 year experience currently looking for a job in case you know someone that knows someone please help me out. I'm desperate at this point 🙏

[full fossil]

aliexpress has them, but then you pay tax + chinese shipping prices, which makes it almost the same price as a new 5600 with stock cooler included

[neon mesa]

tax which depends again on where you live

[full fossil]

saving $4 isnt really worth it

[neon mesa]

these tray CPUs are a solid 50 bucks cheaper on my place
as the boxed retail ones are 145 USD

[full fossil]

plus amd doesnt really do warranty on oem or unofficially sold tray cpus

[neon mesa]

so no they're not a one off thing
these companies buy them in bulk and re sell them

[full fossil]

yeah

that doesnt make it any more readily available

[neon mesa]

what are you arguing about anyway?
i'm not saying its 92 USD to everyone

[full fossil]

but you never said it was 92 USD for just some specific people either

people could take that anyway they like

[neon mesa]

context is key

[full fossil]

which you didnt provide until after you were called out

[neon mesa]

and prices always vary depending on where you live regardless of what it is

called out for what?
you guys make a problem out of everything

"call out" as if i did some scandal or shit

also, these ARE readily available in basically every asian country
or is your way of thinking, "not in the west = not available"

if it's not available for you then too bad

[full fossil]

when you dont specify where the things are available in the first place, people are gonna ask, so dont moan about being asked lol

[neon mesa]

nobody fucking asked me?

they just ask where i got it from then say shit like it's a gotcha moment

[full fossil]

yeah nobody asked

sure

[neon mesa]

which i answered

[timid meadow]

4c4t is still fine for basic office work

[neon mesa]

@timid meadow do you think these guys are being mean for no reason at all, since you are an observer, you can read up for context

[full fossil]

mean?

[neon mesa]

i mean you are all being argumentative for no reason

[timid meadow]

Pub chat bein pub chat. Dont stress over it

[neon mesa]

though i can't expect more from leaf icons

[neon mesa]

right

[full fossil]

lol

[timid meadow]

For reference, i literally build and give away ddr3 (and low end ddr4 as it comes across my bench) systems to homes in need. 4c4t is alot better then nothing. Especially if all you need is basic office work and web browsing

[pliant mason]

[graceful burrow]

I didn't ask you, nerd

[full fossil]

aw shucks

[graceful burrow]

I mean gosh darn it, partner

[fallen rover]

How about we be a wee bit more accommodating around here. How does that sound for a change?

[graceful burrow]

If you feel I've broken a rule call a mod

Otherwise I'm gonna continue being me

[elfin solar]

Aldonist is the resident troll. Don’t take that away from him 😞

[fallen rover]

Why would I need to reach out to a mod? I'm asking you nicely

[graceful burrow]

I'm not a troll I give tons of good info and help a lot of people

I'm just also incredibly abrasive

[elfin solar]

When you are’t trolling. Yes.

[dreamy rose]

i think you will find its bradon.jack1992 thats the troll

[graceful burrow]

Who tf is that kek

[dreamy rose]

or maybe 195789230510

[graceful burrow]

I'm confused lol

Sniped I saw it get deleted

Dunno what it said lol

[dreamy rose]

stupid keyboard left out the O in Account

[graceful burrow]

[dreamy rose]

so what i was saying

the most generic scammer account i can think of

[fallen rover]

C u next Tuesday?

[dreamy rose]

C U in The N T. actual unoficial slogan for the Northen Territoty.

[graceful burrow]

Anyway
@fallen rover im a bit of an asshole/dick/Jerk or whatever adjective you want
Don't take it personally, I'm never as serious as I come off

I've been called most names here, it's whatever

I usually say "boo get new material"

[dreamy rose]

i bet you've never been called a Riggidy Roo Ah Uncle

[fierce moth]

Hold up going to Melbourne /j

[graceful burrow]

Damn he came up with a new one 💀

[graceful burrow]

Just a quick day trip

Does aus have any microcenters

[fallen rover]

You're quite alright, and I know you are rather helpful in this server. However, I'm just asking you nicely to be a bit more careful with what you express towards random strangers; you might not know what they are going through

[fierce moth]

Nope

[dreamy rose]

we dont have those we have Centercom. closest thing

[fierce moth]

We have msy which is a local hardware store

But they only sell pc components

[graceful burrow]

Nobody knows what I'm going through either, there's two sides to that coin
It is what it is
If I feel that I've hurt someone's feelings I'll apologize and act accordingly

[dreamy rose]

Scorptec

[fierce moth]

They don't have a store front here in SA

[graceful burrow]

I don't chat here professionally so I'm not gonna act professional

I don't get paid to

[dreamy rose]

how about Australian PC Manufacturers? so far i've seen Breeze/Leader, Aftershock and Kazura

[fallen rover]

That's fair enough. I've been through stressful periods in life too. Personally, I prefer just playing some CSGO when I'm feeling a bit anti-social

[graceful burrow]

I can't play games right now

[fierce moth]

Nah pretty much only msy

[graceful burrow]

Can't even sit at a computer

When I said nobody knows what I'm going through either, I meant it

[fierce moth]

For more hobbies type stuff we have jaycar, they sell 3d printers, pis ect

[fallen rover]

I know. That's why I responded accordingly

[dreamy rose]

i remember when Apple decided to build a store in the Melbourne square. i don't think it ever went through tho.

man that was like 2019. shit was long ago

they wanted to demolish a historical building are you joking

[graceful burrow]

Average apple plan

[fierce moth]

Apple has a store up at Rundle mall which is a major shopping strip in the city

Rundle mall also contains the malls balls

[graceful burrow]

Malls balls is so fuckin good

[dreamy rose]

Rundle Mall rn:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYmCUE7LYIk

[neon mesa]

the mall architect got balls of steel

[fierce moth]

Literally, solid balls of steel

[graceful burrow]

How the fuck do I not have any Duke nukem emoji

[dreamy rose]

do you touch grass?

[graceful burrow]

Do you

Take a photo next time you're out

Because I sure won't believe it if you just tell me

[dreamy rose]

you are missing my point. you touch grass cause you don't make emojis out of everything.

[graceful burrow]

I never said I wanted to make one I just want one at my disposal because it's funny media

That's a whole ass different operation you described

[fierce moth]

I gotta go into the city next Tuesday anyways to do some 3d printing

And hopefully I don't get stabbed by some dude

[graceful burrow]

Bring a knife
Stab first

[fierce moth]

Very illegal

Just carrying a knife without a reasonable excuse will net you jail time

[crystal pike]

How do peiple send images here

[fierce moth]

And self defense is not a reasonable excuse

[crystal pike]

is this server racist or something (joke)

[fierce moth]

Yes, we hate green names /j

[crystal pike]

Don't tell me you need nitro for that sgit

[fierce moth]

You either, nitro boost, sub to ltt on twitch or pay for floatplane

[undone inlet]

balls of steel 💀

[crystal pike]

well either way i wanna know if mark is using ab s21 or an s22
Ill post the pic in screenshots

[dreamy rose]

classist

[hard mirage]

Wanna try out new discord?
Send the Sparkle emoji in your preferred server
Once sent, tap on the Sparkle emoji to open the description box
In that box, tap and hold on the image until the new layout appears
To disable it, turn it off in the appearance menu in discords settings!

[neon mesa]

Ok this is actually creepy.
Probably common sense already
But how do Facebook even know i use AliExpress recently and they started shoving me aliexpress ads

Really need to disable them cookies next time

[fierce moth]

U use Facebook?

[neon mesa]

Unironically yea, for the local PC enthusiast group

Also damn they even know I'm looking at the black edition intel CPU too 💀

[hard mirage]

@neon mesa have you tried the new layout?

[neon mesa]

What layout

[fierce moth]

I only use Facebook for that Facebook marketplace deals

[hard mirage]

Oh that's trivial, the share to Facebook buttons on all those sites share the data back to Facebook :)

[hard mirage]

@neon mesa
✨

[fierce moth]

And I require it anyway cause cough cough oculus

[manic torrent]

It not racist, it's a class/caste system. The good news is that there's class mobility.

[neon mesa]

Is it desktop only

[hard mirage]

https://youtu.be/PO-XBQHT-Ks

[hard mirage]

Mobile only in fact

[neon mesa]

Laughs in pico and selling my data to winnie the pooh instead of lizard robot 💀

But eh at least I don't need a tiktok account for it

And using it only for PCVR so they get nothing

[fierce moth]

You don't get much choice, you either send your data to Americans or the Chinese

[hard mirage]

I guess no one is trying it out

[manic torrent]

Not true, you can do both

[neon mesa]

Ok how do i get old layout
It's actually horrible and unintuitive

[hard mirage]

As I said, in appearance settings

It's a toggle, btw the new UI is rolling out in a few weeks, will become the default in a few months

[neon mesa]

That's just cringe

[hard mirage]

Enjoy

[neon mesa]

If it ain't broke don't fix it

[hard mirage]

I already gave up on discord being usable forever ago when they moved to react native, aliucord for life

[fierce moth]

@manic torrent Ur in Victoria right?

[crystal pike]

I stopped using facebook because of locals.
I get a deal, they agree, we set up a day to meet, i call and they say they sold it to someone else.
What drew the line is when i was fed up i said we'll meet on the same day and take it and they still sold it to someone else.
8 deals and the outcome was practically the same
They sold that shit less than 12 hours after i contacted them
THE ITEM GOT LISTED LIKE TWO OR A WEEK AGO

[fierce moth]

Rip

[mint ridge]

okay I have something serious to ask

is anyone here in Ontario?

I need some medical advice

I'm not on any insurance, I'm stuck with OHIP, and my tooth just chipped really bad, it's not painful but it opens me up to infection and possibly losing the tooth, which will kill my already slim chances of getting a job

[fierce moth]

Look, you sure you should ask us?

We're tech nerds, not medical experts/professionals

[manic torrent]

correct

[mint ridge]

I'm asking everywhere I can because I'm genuinely panicked

I just thought I'd try here in case someone here does know something

[fierce moth]

I'm coming for u then /j @manic torrent

[shy elk]

Who's coming to Melbourn linus? lol

[fierce moth]

Fucking christ, the city is chaotic

As it's afl game night

[neon mesa]

i think it's a your people problem

my sell/buy interaction with my locals are smooth

[fierce moth]

I generally don't have bad experiences with fb marketplace

Cause as long if cash if offered sales go by smoothly

[crystal pike]

The funny part is most of the time the person they sold it to is someone they know

Why list it then

[undone inlet]

jeff gerling would love this

I mean you could just get a console and mod it for emulation and shit

Or put Linux on it cause you have nothing better to do with your life (aka me)

[pulsar violet]

I currently have a 3080 and a R 7 3800X and I mainly use it for Gaming and VR, I was told by my friends that my 3800X is bottlenecking my system, should I upgrade?

[timid meadow]

May as well max out that am4 board

5800x or something would be a solid upgrade

[fierce moth]

Man I'm defo going to ltx next year

[eternal hearth]

really depends on if you have adequate performance if not then it might be bottlenecking

[plush rivet]

It is
Get a 5600

[normal ledge]
