Wtf how

[manic torrent]

how does any vertical GPU cable work

[wispy marsh]

There's special spatial manipulation plugins that sends signals over air without latency

They call it "portals" or something, idk

[warm dust]

But it's crooked

[median idol]

I find it funny that the 011D has more room for a thicker rad on top than the XL has for the bottom

[manic torrent]

yes, it's cable. It's flexible.

[warm dust]

Wow

bro how come there so many nerds in here

[manic torrent]

Spotify integration? pipewire integration? Voicemeeter network integration coming? awwww yeah.

also now the spotify volume is smooth. You can't make spotify requests that often and there's a lag between the request and the action, so you have to cache what you asked for and not reset your level for a bit.

im on discord on a pentium 4 this is running like total garbage

[stable kernel]

Hmm was trying to look solution for this through reddit etc but came up with nothing.
Is there way to connect to my Philips Bridge without having access to router ? I will have internet and i got 2 Ethernet spots in my motherboard.

Control panel regonizes the device but cannot give it internet obviously. And when bridged it uses 1 IP and Philips Hue / Ambilight cant connect to it then.

I was thinking that maybe you could manage that just with simple switch.

Normally you would connect Philips Bridge to your router but in this case i cannot.

[shy elk]

why wont it work?

[stable kernel]

Actually would this be more of a #tech-chat-1 stuff.

[shy elk]

or tech chat 2

i dont think it really matters which one

oh yeah i was just saying theres 2

[stable kernel]

you got a point there. but Philips Bridge needs to have it own IP so if it uses PC IP it does not regonize it

[shy elk]

the router doesnt work? for it

[stable kernel]

Ah i can only connect 1 device to that router. Going to party with few thousand PC:s and everyone is limited to only 1 ethernet spot from the router. Actually that is misleading. Those are probably switches too 😂 ...

[shy elk]

lan party?

[stable kernel]

yeah

also why would you bring rgb lighting to a lan party?

[shy elk]

hey aldonist do you still think im dumb or is that over

[graceful burrow]

They got this competion for "coolest PC in the town" and i dont usually partake into it.

Why did I think you were dumb before
Jog my memory here

[shy elk]

uhh brayden the guy you called braindead

[graceful burrow]

[alpine cliff]

Oh ok, I thought you were just being that guy lmao

[stable kernel]

Thats why some extra lightning. i was going to install some Philips Ledstrips into my BB Death Stranding Collector edition pod and then connect that with my PC.

[shy elk]

cause i own a pentium 4 in 2023

[graceful burrow]

That's a good one
I don't remember it

[shy elk]

im doing a benchmark

i want to compare my cpu with a core 2 duo

[graceful burrow]

I don't think you're dumb
Brayden braindead is a good one tho I gotta give myself that one

[shy elk]

wdym give yourself that one you came in after everyone else

[stable kernel]

But yeah i could just buy bluetooth ledstrips but then i could not connect it into my ASUS aura and have it synced up with my PC

[graceful burrow]

Doesn't matter to me

[shy elk]

whats the best 32bit cpu benchmark

[stable kernel]

Hence the need for Philips Bridge which i can then connect to asus aura

[shy elk]

does 3dmark do the cpu aswell as thre gpu

you need another pc to get it working lol

do you have a laptop

[graceful burrow]

It does

[shy elk]

how long does a benchmark take

[graceful burrow]

Depends on how fast it runs

[shy elk]

single core

[finite cloud]

Do you have one?

[shy elk]

unknown error occured during benchmark

[stable kernel]

Yeah i do have Bridge already with some lights connected to it.

Many other items are on that list but listed the necessary one right now.

[teal rose]

you could use internet connection sharing then, though if you need to control it via your phone then it's a bit tricky

[stable kernel]

Yeah and id need to do some extra coding and soldering + coding too to make Philips Bridge to be able to understand Wifi 😂

[teal rose]

maybe could use tailscale https://tailscale.com/kb/1109/devices-without-tailscale/

[shy elk]

how do i fix it

[graceful burrow]

Upgrade your gpu

[teal rose]

create a new post in #1027757333117415424 and I'll layout how I'd do this, slowmode makes it difficult here

[shy elk]

its a 2009 gpu its fine

[stable kernel]

I'll talk with their support first just incase.

[teal rose]

2009 gpu, what 3dmark benchmark were you gonna run again

[shy elk]

thats the exact one i want benchmarled

amd radeon hd sapphire 5450

nah they won't know I'll bet

Actually ended up getting some sort of answer. They suggested configuring the another Ethernet card with IP and then connect Philips Bridge with crossover cable. While making sure that it does not send any packets outside of my PC to other people in the network.

[teal rose]

so basically internet connection sharing

[stable kernel]

Made a thread about it.

Is memtest64 software as good as memtest86?

[stable kernel]

another one is for 32 bit another one is for 64

[fallen rover]

64 bit always gives better performance

LTT recommends 64 bit when you can use it

[stable kernel]

or well as raafje said. you can really test those with both but i would always recommend 64 bit one .

[mint yacht]

God no

Memtest86 checks if your RAM is dying or not but will not show you stability issues
Programs like OCCT, y-cruncher or Linpack will be much better for memory stresstesting

[wispy marsh]

TM5

[mint yacht]

That one too but OCCT is the most user friendly lol

Karhu's great too if you test memory often

[full fossil]

What about memtest64?

[wispy marsh]

You use TM5 alongside OCCT

[full fossil]

The windows software?

[mint yacht]

No, bad

[wispy marsh]

To test for memory stability, I use PCBDestroyer config and OCCT VRAM

[mint yacht]

TestMem5, Karhu, Linpack extreme, Y-cruncher, OCCT has a mem test

[mint yacht]

Why VRAM? If you need extra heat running time spy on loop or something would do better

[full fossil]

I understand

[tulip forum]

my friend convinced us to have a LAN Party at his house, All of them carrying PCs and Laptops while I just have a Steam Deck, a portable monitor, keyboard and mice.

Ah fair

[wispy marsh]

Want to? Go ahead

[mint yacht]

TestMem5 then

[full fossil]

Thanks guys

[wispy marsh]

So yes, memory stability is related to fabric stability, which gets stressed when you run vram tests

[silent vector]

hey guys, quick question. Can a school MDM (Mosyle security in this case) see your screen in real time? Or do they have a recording of your screen activity stored inside?

[mint yacht]

I prefer using Y-cruncher for fabric stresstesting, it's damn good at picking up any errors

[quartz wadi]

what are good vpns for gaming

[wispy marsh]

Wireguard

[summer folio]

That just sounds like a laptop with extra Steps.
Did you really bring a Game Boy to the LAN Party btw?

i download Ubuntu Server which allows me to skip DE installation

some shitty galaxy a8 with a fucked screen

[full fossil]

So I wanted a little thought in to my radiator setup that I currently have, looking for something that would be more optimal or just looking to see if I'm doing anything wrong as of right now.

I am running a 4090 and a 13700k chip paired with a 280mm nzxt kraken aio

The 13700k does tend to run higher temperatures than normal, usually at around 80-85c while doing some decently CPU intensively gaming, not throttling. Just not feeeling very comfortable with my current temperatures compared to others.

Fan setup :

NZXT H9 Elite Case

3 intake 120mm on the front, 3 intake 120mm on the bottom, and for the 280mm rad on the top, two 140mm intakes ON TOP of the rad, effectively blowing air DOWN inside of the rad in to the case. Finally, one 120mm exhaust on the back.

Any thoughts?

^^ GPU temps are very cool, around 50-60c gaming

[wispy marsh]

Big case

I knoww

[cinder zealot]

THE PHONE 1 DOESNT HHAVE A HEADPHONE JACK

im not having issues with either

then you dont need to upgrade either

[still yacht]

I said you should meet Negan

[iron pond]

well if I want to play better games

my display is 600 by 1024, if that helps

[unkempt dagger]

id start with the monitor then

[fossil frost]

if you wanna play better games than your current system allows, then clearly either the cpu or the gpu isnt capable enough to play what you want to play, so, one of them will be giving you more trouble than the other, whichever one is holding you back the most, upgrade that one

and yes, monitor first, you will notice more difference from that than you would with anything else right now

[iron pond]

yeah but the monitor is pretty unique, I don't want to get rid of it. I have better monitors in my posession, I just like this one because it's a toaster

I suggest replacing the 1050 atleast with a 580

look for unused ones

[crisp sedge]

Qwhat?

[fierce moth]

Gonna buy a couple of blank DVDs tomorrow

[hollow root]

Anyone know wtf is happening with 6950xt prices

[polar fern]

@late galleon depends.

No, why?

It a good card

@hollow root holy shit

There goes my plan to buy one.

[hollow root]

Yuh

[crisp sedge]

Linuh

I sh yuh yesterday

[polar fern]

and now my plan of getting the ryzen 7 5700g might make more sense to y’all

It’s almost like

I know what I’m doing. 😲

[shy elk]

I keep getting format terminated

[polar fern]

Thankfully already purchased it - it’s here next to case & motherboard in its lil box

[shy elk]

Format Terminated in MS-DOS

[polar fern]

I would check out the form for a more in-depth look into your issue

[full fossil]

if you put a GPU into a 5000C furnace you would get a weird sludge.
(source: the industrial furnace that's at my workplace.)

[shy elk]

Unable to Write boot format terminated

[polar fern]

This discord thing is definitely more casual for most people, and folks who might know about your formatting issue, may not even use Discord to begin with

Also check LGR’s videos for clues.

[shy elk]

It might be cause I'm using free dos not MS-DOS

[polar fern]

Dunno. Not really in my wheelhouse. I do know that there are tons of resources about this kind of stuff all over the Internet, you just gotta look for it really

[shy elk]

I took out the 2 1gb sticks

Something tells me the Windows version I need isn't gonna like that

[manic torrent]

I could probably work it out but like... google is right there

also because partitions were the same for many many many years

[shy elk]

Copying files needed for windows setup who needs an hdd when the flash drive is already there

[cinder zealot]

there are like sections of the screen that i cant press in

the phone is old af so i am too lazy to get a new screen

its also just generally slow

[green magnet]

does anyone know what software LMG use for asset tracking / management?

[cinder zealot]

i COULD put postmarketos but im scared i will get an unusable device

i do have postmarketos on my tablet tho

[calm swan]

both, 7100 to a 7700 and 1050 to a 580

[polar fern]

@hollow root it’s not just the 6650xt

[hollow root]

Yea it's rlly wierd

[polar fern]

Everything jumped like 20% or more in price

[shy elk]

Yeah my pc is going to get my foot slammed into it in a second

[polar fern]

People in the discord here are not going to be able to help you - try looking at the forum or dos related resources elsewhere on the Internet

[calm swan]

bruh

ur joking 😭

[polar fern]

No

[calm swan]

nvidia asw?

[polar fern]

There’s one specific model I was looking at went from $254 to like $310

It looks like basically everything hardware, component… memory, storage, graphics cards, motherboards, processors

This succ

And a bunch of stuff is now also low availability

It could be people buying stuff for school and upgrading computers they bought during the beginning of the pandemic. Dunno

[hearty spear]

honestly: Unless you get really good prices on upgrade parts
I wouldn't.

The only upgrade I'd consider in that is: GPU
Because you can move that to a new box. Buying a decent CPU To replace the i3 is gonna be a bad value

[manic torrent]

boom. Bought one of these for my mixer.

[hearty spear]

a 7700k on ebay is ~125$ for a 6+ year old 4c/8t chip that's very much showing its age.

a 12100f + B760 board + 16GB 3200 CL16 RAM = 216 on Amazon

Yes, it's another 4c/8t, but the 12100 is faster than a 7700k in every single measure.

So you can upgrade to a modern platform that has a HUGE ugprade path for 90$ more than a slower chip on your current board.

(B760 can support 12th gen, 13th gen, and most likely 14th gen as it's a 13th gen refresh.)

[round linden]

uhhhh

i wouldnt go with the 7700k for the single core perfomance any day

and the xtx has more paralax then a 4090 are u kidding nvidia?!?!?!? i thought rt was ur shit? what happen?

holy christmas

[fossil frost]

in the US that may be true, but the 13100 on its own costs more than a full 7700k system with 8gb of ram from ebay here

[honest cedar]

Guys my monitor keeps making a cracking sound every few seconds

I thought it’s because it’s not plugged in properly but that’s not the case

Does anyone know why it’s happening

[round linden]

oh yeah the import taxes in other countries areHORRRRRRIBLE

[manic torrent]

it's probably about to explode

[round linden]

i feel bad just living in the us sum days lol

[hearty spear]

does it have speakers?

[round linden]

yeah ive never bought a second hand cpu

ever ever ever

[hearty spear]

second hand CPUs are generally one of the safest things to buy

[round linden]

for pc parts yes

[honest cedar]

Nah

[hearty spear]

What else are you getting second hand CPUs for, other than PC Parts?

[round linden]

oh servers and cnc

sorry shoulda added that

but there pcs too i guess i just see them as there own beast these days

[hearty spear]

second hand server CPUs are how you save shit tons to hack up old stuff

[round linden]

if i build a server

put a 3995 or a epyc

maybe 8-10k ecc ram

another 2 grand or so on hds

and the list goes on old is good but second hand u never know what asshats could have had it

but if its hold true then yull end up with a great deal ppl off there old pc parts all the time

personally my comp was 4.2k and my foot stool / second was about 2.4

[hearty spear]

yeah, most people won't have 4K of computer in their entire house.

let alone one box

[round linden]

im a enthusiast i went to 6 years of schol not to fuck up lol

but i got high honors,,,,,,, i was high everyday and honed they let me graduate lol

jk jk haha old quote

[wispy marsh]

What's the general consensus on lucky goldstar monitors?

[fierce moth]

Never heard of them

[full fossil]

The old name of LG

[full fossil]

Actually afaik Gold Star was a pretty poor brand

There was a techician that when they changed their name to Lg they didn't aproove warranties for tech

[wispy marsh]

Oh. I have the 32GK850F and they're pretty good

[full fossil]

Lg is a pretty good brand but for goldstar i have no idea

[dapper grail]

Hello

[round linden]

lg ultgra gear hands down one of the best monitors for ur money

[dapper grail]

I have a pixio

[round linden]

my g7 is over priced i paid 200$ in a un opned box for it but still damnnnn check out lg

i didnt know goldstar was still coming out i hadnt looked in so long XD

[full fossil]

I have a question
it's about a mod i have in mind for MarioKart 8
I have in mind to make a mod like CTGP-R on the wii just with the Nintendo switch booster Course Pass
To implement online features with Pretendo network and such

[dapper grail]

I like the pixio because it's good for video editing and gaming while being at a reasonable price but there are better monitors at that price range

[full fossil]

Is it a good idea?

[dapper grail]

Yes

[round linden]

i just dont mod anymore

[full fossil]

thats a shame

i should learn how to make custom maps for marioKart 8 wiiu

[fierce moth]

It doesn't justify the effort put into it, like a majority of people play on mk8d while only a fraction play on a wii u it's even a lower amount to people playing on modded systems

Mk8d alone has more sales than the wii u's sold times 2

[full fossil]

actually for me its better bc I'm going to learn a lot of stuff for programming, 3d moddeling, music repo and a lot more so this is going to be useful for me and for the people who want to play it

[fierce moth]

Well I'd suggest doing something on pc before you delve into rom hacks

[full fossil]

there is a lot of material on mario kart wii/8u/8dx so why not give it a try

[fierce moth]

Just cause you can doesn't mean you should

[full fossil]

why not make a mod that actually makes the game better

and along the way going to learn a lot of new things

[fierce moth]

A mod that barely anyone is gonna use?

[full fossil]

yea barely

i want to try to talk with the pretendo team to make the maps playable online

[fierce moth]

Well best of luck, as you got 1gb of usable ram

I've transitioned to using my debit card for payments and ngl it feels kinda awkward with knowing how much money I have.

I have 170 eur rn but it's kinda hard to feel how much I got

[fierce moth]

Lol, looking into it the wii u cpu is based on the ppc 750 but with some enhancements

But no 64bit tho lol

[fierce moth]

And that chip is from 1997

[full fossil]

that doesn't matter cuz you run the maps in the mario kart 8 engine

which i think is unreal
the gpu is pretty powerful

a custom map with all the files is 400kb

[jaunty compass]

one of these days I really want to turn a steam deck motherboard into a mini pc

[wispy marsh]

The real minipc is inside of you all along

[jaunty compass]

but it's too expensive to buy just the board and i'm not going to teardown my deck for that

[gentle slate]

Why are google apps such a clusterfuck

[fierce moth]

It's in an in house engine

And both the 360 and ps3 has a more powerful gpu

[acoustic pond]

Hey guys uwu

[acoustic pond]

It’s because I accidentally swallowed it

[full fossil]

well you proved that you never owned a wiiu
the wiiu gpu has lower floating performance but it has better efficency than the xbox 360 gpu and has terascale 2 arch

[acoustic pond]

How are Google apps a cluster fuck?

[gentle slate]

A shit ton of crossover

[fierce moth]

Lol I literally have a wii u

[gentle slate]

Unidentifiable icons

[full fossil]

me too

[acoustic pond]

I agree some of their icons are annoying like authenticator

[gentle slate]

Had to go through the history of Google to figure out the difference between Google pay gpay and wallet

i have read a 50 page document on the wiiu architecture

wiiu gpu = diecent
wiiu ram = meh

wiiu io speed is terrible too

Imagine getting 3mb/s over ethernet

[full fossil]

the games are good

[full fossil]

bruh i'm getting over 12 on larger files

[teal rose]

Ftp?

[full fossil]

yes

[teal rose]

Huh they must have improved the speed since I last tried

[fierce moth]

The wii u's menu speed is abhorrent

[full fossil]

no

[fierce moth]

Yes

[full fossil]

with aroma its great

my games are on a 12 year old hdd it is snappy

[fierce moth]

Also, most of the popular wii u titles has been ported to switch

[full fossil]

yes but i can get them for free

same experience on wiiu with the occasional hiccup

[fierce moth]

And that's called piracy

Inexcusable piracy

[full fossil]

and

what are going to do

i'm using pretendo

[fierce moth]

It means Nintendo loses money on that potential sale for that switch sale

If it was a super Nintendo game it makes sense

Cause Nintendo can't get an active income from those games

[full fossil]

Why pay if you can get it for free

[fierce moth]

It's called not committing a crime

[ashen estuary]

noo our hot water died
convenient since I was going to shower

[full fossil]

no one buys this old shit

[full fossil]

what are they going to do ip ban me

if im on a switch maybe but im on a WIIU

[teal rose]

If you're pirating popular games that are ported to Switch, yeah people are buying that old shit

Just on a different platform

[ashen estuary]

probably nothing

[full fossil]

i mean you are kinda right

[fierce moth]

If it wasn't ported it makes sense cause you can not legally obtain that game directly from Nintendo or a authorised seller

[full fossil]

who is playing captain toad on a wiiu

[ashen estuary]

you can legally obtain it but Nintendo won't profit so they don't care

[full fossil]

im not giving dkoldies 25 dollars for mario kart 8

[ashen estuary]

lmao

I can shoot you a copy if I still have it

[full fossil]

no need

if you think that giving dkoldies 25 dollars is legal im a lawnmower

[fierce moth]

It's a morality argument at this point

[ashen estuary]

piracy imo isn't really that immoral

most pirates aren't going to pay for the software in the first place, therefore no money is lost

[full fossil]

you are browsing the internet

[fierce moth]

It is on actively sold products imo

[teal rose]

I mean, mk8 is on switch, so the proper thing to do is to buy it on switch if you don't want to buy a used copy

[ashen estuary]

mk8d, not mk8 iirc

[teal rose]

It's still the same base game

[fierce moth]

Which is essentially the same thing

[ashen estuary]

true but those are small details

[wispy marsh]

??

[full fossil]

plus these things are 10 plus years old

every day wiiu's die left and right

[full fossil]

This is what I get when running as admin but I read a reboot could fix that ( AWE module To enable AWE you must run with Administrator privileges )

[teal rose]

Not anymore, fixable via mods that use the SD card instead of emmc

[undone inlet]

Yello :3

[fierce moth]

And plus this only happens with certain models

[full fossil]

i saw an internal hdd mod which is very cool

[teal rose]

There are very few situations where I would even consider pirating games now, and they mainly revolve around "can I buy this game new in some form today"

So very old games, sure. Games available on switch? Nah

[full fossil]

you cant buy wiiu games now
only scammy resselers

[teal rose]

But games like mk8, botw? You're supposed to buy a switch

[full fossil]

what happens if you have a wiiu

[teal rose]

What happens if you want a ps5 game and you only have a ps4

[fierce moth]

My entire point

[undone inlet]

Installing GAPPs

[teal rose]

You just don't play the game until you get a ps5

[undone inlet]

withou't gaps phones are really Snappy

[full fossil]

mk8 + botw = 120 usd = wiiu used

[graceful burrow]

What games

[full fossil]

every single nintendo game released in the last 10 years

[teal rose]

My guy, I pay 250 usd yearly for one software suite and I'm happy to pay it

[graceful burrow]

Yay wiiu gamepad lag woohoo

Woo poor emulation

[full fossil]

adobe?

[teal rose]

No

Jetbrains. Which, btw, I don't have to pay it for work because work has volume licensing

I pay for my own personal copy alongside using the work copy

Because 250 usd per year is worth what I get

[full fossil]

oh Jetbrains is useful

[teal rose]

120 usd for 2 games that you will get more than 50 hours of enjoyment from? Yeah, that's worth 120 to me

Plus they've been out long enough they go on sale on switch

[full fossil]

For these programs I don't pirate but games

[fierce moth]

There's most likely a calculator for time spent in dollars

[teal rose]

I have like 2400 hours in L4D2 and I only spent 2.99 on it

Almost hitting the 0.1 cents per hour mark

[full fossil]

look i live in a poor county where i cant get these things and that's the only reason why. I have 12 wii games I have bought personnaly form trips

i have pirated my wiiu games but not my wii and og xbox games

[teal rose]

If you are literally unable to buy the games because they're unavailable, then that's a different issue which I did mention earlier. But your PC build is decent so I'm pretty sure that games are not as unaffordable as you say

[fierce moth]

With gta 5 I spent around 1000 hours and spent like 30 aud on it, so it's like 0.03 cents an hour

[teal rose]

3 cents an hour not 0.03

[full fossil]

the whole reason why i bought a wiiu was beacause my wii's gpu failed and because of splatoon
which i have on disk

[fierce moth]

My bad, brain died for a bit

[teal rose]

Oof the calculator hurts me

[fierce moth]

So in that case it's not piracy

[full fossil]

actually here in bulgaria film studios pirate adobe premiere pro and profit of stolen goods

thats a whole different kind of piracy imo

[teal rose]

It's different but it doesn't make the piracy we talked about less bad

[graceful burrow]

I'd check mine but I too damn lazy

[full fossil]

true i agree

[polar fern]

[fierce moth]

[full fossil]

Are you serious rn

[undone inlet]

I had to make a document and place it on my desk so

that i can see which port is which and which ip is which

Hmm, never gotten that

[full fossil]

Yeah, I did read on some forums that a restart can fix that

I bought A Non ARGB CABINET Mid Tower for 45 bucks 4 months ago. Now I thought I'd swap the Non ARGB fans with ARGB ones, but the new fans cost 55 bucks (good enough ones) and a new ARGB Cabinet costs the same. What should I do

[stoic beacon]

Remove all RGB, in my opinion

[north gust]

That's not an option.

[gilded quest]

Wait what

[south stone]

I can't post youtube links here right?

"Does Nvidia 4090 Founders Edition crack like Gigabyte ? 😳"

From northwestrepair youtube channel.

[north gust]

I would suppose not

[stoic beacon]

I saw that one. Basically boils down to, don't move your PC around, and get the little support to hold up your GPU

[wise frost]

hasnt happened to me yet

but that is pretty scary to think about

[stoic beacon]

Because if you aren't causing it extra strain, like carrying it around, it won't. It's nowhere near as heavy as Gigabyte's giant trashy cooler...we have almost 60 4090s at work, and they've all been just fine

[south stone]

I wonder if you could undervolt those massive cards enough to get 95% of the performance, while reducing the cooler size enough not to have 1 kg of copper and aluminum hanging from a thread.

[south stone]

60 4090's at work?

[stoic beacon]

Yes, lots of workstations

[wise frost]

i move around mine quite a bit, however i don’t think it causes much strain because it lays down flat when being transported, dunno we’ll see

Australian healthcare is top notch if everyone's not panicking about shit

[teal rose]

this hasn't been my experience. I pay 33 usd/mo for my insurance premiums, generally get to see any doctor I want quickly, and the maximum I ever have to pay in a single year is about 3500. And there are actually plans where the out of pocket maximum is less (but I picked this one due to certain tax advantages it comes with)

kinda ironic that in 2021 people froze to death in texas

Austrailia is effectively Texas, but with worse drivers and bigger spiders, from what I've heard

Wasn't just 2021 kek

[teal rose]

oh shoot

well, the texan power grid is a clusterfuck so I'm not entirely surprised

[graceful burrow]

True

[tender geyser]

how long does ltx last

[graceful burrow]

Sounds Googleable

[warm dust]

Do Texans not have blankets?

It wasn't that cold

[stoic beacon]

It was below freezing for extended periods of time

[teal rose]

multiple days

[stoic beacon]

If your buildings aren't set up to retain heat and you lose it, you can't really get it back when the power is out

[warm dust]

The lowest temp I see is -15c and that's a pretty balmy day in the winter here

You can 100% survive with a hoodie and thick blanket while having no power

[graceful burrow]

Yeah they should have just put blankets on all the busted water pipes and ruined infrastructure

What a stupid thing to say kek

[teal rose]

not for a week if you don't have an alternate source of heat

[stoic beacon]

It was far more than just body temperature. And even then, if your apartment floods after your pipes burst and you're trying to save stuff in water that is 35 degrees, you're going to die if the air temperature is 4 degrees.

[warm dust]

Water pipes here burst all the time. Only difference is it's in -40 weather

[polar fern]

@warm dust their goddamn gas lines froze, what are you smoking?

[warm dust]

Hoodies and blankets is good enough

[stoic beacon]

I'm not sure if this guy is actually trying to be the dumbest/most insensitive person on the planet, or if he just is that way naturally.

It's kinda fucked up if you got both me and transit on the same side here

[polar fern]

To keep miles of pipes thawed?

[stoic beacon]

"Just get tougher" is the most braindead thing to say when arguing about the laws of physics and biology.

"Put on a blanket" as they're suffocating on natural gas

[warm dust]

Who is stupid enough to try and save their material possessions at risk of their life?

[gilded quest]

How is that possible

[teal rose]

even if you didn't try and save your possessions, there were massive food and water shortages

no power = no fridges = no food

[warm dust]

Food shortages is understandable

[teal rose]

better hope you stocked up on nonperishables

food in a fridge won't stay cold longer than 24 hours

[warm dust]

Everyone I know has at least a week's worth of canned goods though

[teal rose]

that's generally not the case in a city

[stoic beacon]

People died from

1. No water.
2. No food.
3. Hypothermia.
4. Violence related to lack of resources.
5. Gas leaks.
6. Auto accidents.

And many more things. But they should just "put on a blanket."

[polar fern]

Canned goods don’t work if they’re FROZEN

[graceful burrow]

Yeah just put a blanket on idiot

Not in the cities or in the majority of the country.

Preventable? Correct, but were people financially able to prepare for it? In many cases, no.

Were people able to prepare for it with adequate storage and home modifications? In many cases, no.

Were people expecting to HAVE to prepare for weather that cold? Absolutely not.

[teal rose]

this is texas, people don't generally expect below freezing temperatures

It's different to people who aren't conditioned for that kind of weather.

texan infrastructure was not built for below freezing when normally it's like satan's asshole

[polar fern]

The power went out. The temperature was below freezing. The pipes froze. Do you not understand the concept of a home having no heat because there’s no power to make the heat work and the gas lines were frozen so there’s no heat from that either

[stoic beacon]

I know you're still pretty new here, but when it's LTT Discord vs You, you're probably an idiot.

[teal rose]

they were below freezing in a region where houses are not built for below freezing temps

[polar fern]

That region in Texas is built for heat, not for cold

[warm dust]

I understand having a house built with insulation

[teal rose]

it was colder than alaska for god's sake

[polar fern]

Insulation doesn’t help when the outside is well below freezing for multiple days at a time

[warm dust]

It would be smart to insulate the heat so A/C can be more efficient

[polar fern]

Insulation doesn’t work when it’s below freezing for multiple days in a row it’s called thermal saturation

[warm dust]

maybe Alaska summer weather

[teal rose]

in february???

[polar fern]

Ok clearly they’re trolling blocked

[teal rose]

no, it was colder than in anchorage at the time

[warm dust]

I've personally been through it and yes it does help a lot

[teal rose]

you just said 5 degrees C, that's not below freezing

[ashen estuary]

my sourdough is rising

[teal rose]

at DFW it was -19 C

[warm dust]

It was -35c outside. I said my house went from 20c to 5c over the course of three and a half days

[stoic beacon]

Have you had your earthquake structural supports checked recently?

[warm dust]

What

[stoic beacon]

In your home, the supports built into the framing for earthquakes...have you had them repaired?

[polar fern]

Oh yeah. Gotta get them inspected

[warm dust]

Not repaired but audits are done annually

[stoic beacon]

And they're still functional up to a 9.0?

[polar fern]

That lasts 20 minutes

[gilded quest]

What the heck are earthquake supports

[polar fern]

Bearings

[stoic beacon]

They're special modifications added to the framing of a building to protect against earthquakes

[gilded quest]

I don't think they're used back in Arizona

[warm dust]

Equating a house not built for 9.0 earthquakes where the worst we get is a 3 is not the same as -15 degree weather

[polar fern]

Huh imagine that, a regional difference

[stoic beacon]

Actually, it is. Moron.

[warm dust]

I would be more understanding if it was -30 or -40

[stoic beacon]

The worst Texas usually sees is BARELY below freezing.

[gilded quest]

-15C is pretty fuckin cold for the American southwest. To people there, -15C might as well be -50C

[teal rose]

ok now try dealing with 48C weather for a week where you live with no power, I bet your region is not equipped to handle that

[warm dust]

So how is that equitable to a maximum intensity earthquake?

[polar fern]

9.0 isn’t maximum 🤣

[warm dust]

I have a box fan for cooling and it regularly gets up to 40c

[fierce moth]

It's like 11c rn

[teal rose]

yeah, you would die

[fierce moth]

Ima play some vr to warm up

[polar fern]

40c in the house regularly. Box fan. Mhm

[warm dust]

@teal rose #tech-chat-1

[gilded quest]

Now spend a month when it's 45C or greater every day and nights only dip to 35C

[warm dust]

Texans didn't go a month at -15?

[stoic beacon]

At this point, he'll literally rationalize anything. Better to block and move on, there's no convincing an IQ this low. Hopefull the mods clean this dumpster fire of a conversation up. This level of insensitivity and inconsideration is borderline offensive.

[fierce moth]

I feel like Texas is the Australian outback but with guns

[polar fern]

“Insulation, it keeps stuff warm!” No. It keeps warm in/out. It doesn’t make warmth.

[gilded quest]

Idk how long they were at -15C but nobody there is equipped for it and neither is the infrastructure

[wispy marsh]

You wanna know what else keeps stuff warm?

[gilded quest]

Hoodie from lttstore.com?

[wispy marsh]

The water bottles at lttstore.com.

[polar fern]

This segue to our sponsor too

[warm dust]

house with heating at 20c
Power goes out
House insulated
House stays warm

[wispy marsh]

I have enough hoodies

[fierce moth]

I don't think dbrand is gonna keep me warm

[wispy marsh]

I've always wanted a pastel pink hoodie though

[polar fern]

The house does not stay warm if it’s below freezing out for 4 days.

[wispy marsh]

Their roasts will keep you warm alright

[fierce moth]

Those damn robots

[wispy marsh]

[stoic beacon]

Did you guys see the DJI Air 3 drone? The one they announced a few days ago?

[warm dust]

If your house is shit

[polar fern]

Maybe

[gilded quest]

Our houses are not designed to retain heat

[stoic beacon]

Block him, move on, this conversation will go nowhere

[fierce moth]

My ps3 that can run Linux is collecting dust

[polar fern]

Ok my IQ has suffered enough

[warm dust]

How much is a kerosene lamp? 20$? How much is a kerosene tank? 5? But Texans are too stupid to operate one and they'll end up burning their house down

[teal rose]

yeah, people tried that, they died of carbon monoxide inhalation because no one ever needs to burn fuel regularly

[polar fern]

Imagine thinking all houses are the same

[fierce moth]

only 0.12 of all steam users are running arch lol

[teal rose]

it's like shitting on someone for not remembering calculus 5 years out of school. why would you ever remember how to do it if you've never used it

[stoic beacon]

It's....more irritating to get working than other operating systems, so that's fair

[teal rose]

I use arch btw

also isn't steam deck running on arch?

[fierce moth]

but im surprised its lower than ubuntu (ew btw)

[fierce moth]

yeah its a modified version

[teal rose]

I use ubuntu, it's fine

I use and shit on all operating systems equally

[stoic beacon]

Ubuntu is great, just like pretty much all Linux distros

Except Fedora

[wispy marsh]

I hear you guys have hot weather

[polar fern]

@stoic beacon mi’distro

[stoic beacon]

I'm confident at least two of my cousins would eat that.

[fierce moth]

id prefer fedora to ubuntu

[stoic beacon]

That's rough.

[wispy marsh]

They're not friends. That said, I'd take one too

[teal rose]

I use ubuntu server all the time, but ubuntu desktop is fine

[polar fern]

Coleslaw in heat sounds like renal failure

[teal rose]

I don't like having to rely on rolling releases

[fierce moth]

i use arch on my server lol

[teal rose]

https://superuser.com/a/1130899

in school I had a computer security lab, we were given a few VMs and one of them had fedora core 1 on it. I spent 2 days upgrading it like 18 versions. or I tried to at least

whatyearisit.jpg

[fierce moth]

normally id take debian than ubuntu

[stoic beacon]

Exactly...I prefer to use my computer, not waste time fixing broken things just because other people think it's fun. It's like the people who spend $4,000 on making their PC case look pretty, and then flip out when they get poor performance in the games and software they're looking at all day long (instead of their case).

[teal rose]

yeah, I stick to LTS versions usually

I need at least one good working pc

I have spares to screw around with

[fierce moth]

i run arch on my server cause i can

plus i almost never have any issues

[stoic beacon]

Linus and Luke actually talked about this on WAN show a few weeks ago. When it comes to your devices that you need to work, pick the most popular one. They were talking about smartphones (iPhone and Samsung), but the same thing goes for operating systems, in my opinion. Use Windows unless you really want to use MacOS or Linux, and if you use Linux, use one that is fairly popular so that when something goes wrong, they fix it or you can easily fix it.

[teal rose]

I'm just surprised that upgrading a fedora core 1 install to 13 actually worked

I never trust OS upgrades

[teal rose]

hence linux mint for linux desktop, and ubuntu server for linux server

[stoic beacon]

Using Linux Mint for example allows me to ask very large communities for help when something breaks. Using Arch/Fedora etc., allows me to ask a very small group of people who will tell me to go jump off of a cliff. So which one do you think I'm going to use?

[teal rose]

or, think about it another way. if I need linux to work on a hobby project, I would rather spend time working on my hobby project than spend time trying to debug my install just so I can start

[polar fern]

Holy fuck. The fedora guy almost died from Covid. https://nypost.com/2021/08/19/fedora-guy-jerry-messing-fighting-for-his-life-with-covid-19/

[teal rose]

even installing arch requires a tutorial, which sucks when I blow away my virtual machines frequently for each project

[stoic beacon]

And there are some people out there who have more fun debugging their install, and that's okay. It just cracks me up when people come in here and say "So I started using computers 2 years ago, and I've had a MacBook Air...What is this Linux thing?"

And all the arch users tell him to immediately install Arch and i3 Window Manager, and then he's just screwed

[fierce moth]

arch isnt even that hard to install ever since the archinstall command came out

[stoic beacon]

It's not the OS that's hard to install, it's the 87 things you need afterwards

[fierce moth]

archinstall literally downloads everything you need for a base desktop and utilities

really cool ngl, used it myself when i needed a quick linux install

[teal rose]

meanwhile pretty much every tool or utility is available in apt repos or installable via dpkg

which is great when sometimes I need a niche tool that isn't available in the AUR because arch is less used than debian based systems

[polar fern]

Don’t forget to insulate your pipes with a blanket guise.

You don’t need warmth, the pipe does

[full fossil]

I am dissapointed we are yet to see a gaming pc cooled by the ocean

[polar fern]

-looks at global average ocean temps-

[full fossil]

or a pool

[polar fern]

-looks at record heat & water shortages-

[full fossil]

keep the water shortages and the 'record heats' coming

[gilded quest]

Didn't Microsoft look into putting servers in the ocean

[full fossil]

they made that as a experiment (like for 1+ years), but not a gaming pc.

[gilded quest]

I'm sure you could downscale it

But like, why
If you lived on a ship I guess

[pliant karma]

or by the lake lol

[gilded quest]

You'd still have to run some long cables

[pliant karma]

tru I have my capabilities too. well more like I have my ways

if I wanna do it ima make it work one way or another

[south tartan]

when would you want an aio cooler over fans? and vice versa?

[gilded quest]

$500 optical thunderbolt cable

[pliant karma]

[polar fern]

Only $500?

Optical Cables by Corning Thunderbolt 3 USB Type-C Male Optical Cable, 15m https://a.co/d/iR3703L

who dat boi

[warm dust]

NOOOOO

I lost a bet

[olive stream]

When ever I turn my fan off, my pc freezes for a second or my headset tripps. Why does it happen? My fan is not connected to my pc in any way.

[full fossil]

bad circuit

[olive stream]

What do you mean?

[full fossil]

or you have way too much stuff on that circuit

[dull granite]

ye

[crisp sedge]

Hi loona

[olive stream]

I have like a connection extender thing

[full fossil]

how much stuff you got plugged into that and the wall

[olive stream]

I forgot what it's called

[crisp sedge]

So you have specific set of skills

[crisp sedge]

Fan hub?

[olive stream]

Not that kind of fan

[full fossil]

plus whatever else in on that line lol

[olive stream]

What are the things called to get more outlets?

[crisp sedge]

Only hub?
