I my fan, pc and monitors plugged into an extension cord and when I turn my fan off, my pc lags and sometimes I loose audio and need to replug the headset.

Wait I can't send pictures here

Anyways the fan is not connected to my pc

[crisp sedge]

Turn on your fan

[olive stream]

It's on.

[full fossil]

what country

[crisp sedge]

Plug your pc directly to your wall

[olive stream]

I don't have bad outlets. Norway

[olive stream]

I can't. It's too far away from the outlet

[full fossil]

you don't need to have bad outlets, just bad circuits

[crisp sedge]

I’m only one Nor-away

Superman got nothing on me~

[full fossil]

or a terrible extender

[olive stream]

My pc doesn't lag or anything. Just when I turn off the fan for some reason. Only like a second though

Started an hour ago.

[full fossil]

it sounds like the sudden drop in load on the extender is fucking with your pc

[olive stream]

one of my USB ports died then revived itself 3 days later. My keyboard and mouse USB's have also been tripping

[crisp sedge]

That doesn’t sound bad

[olive stream]

no

[full fossil]

bad power delivery

[crisp sedge]

That sounds great!

[olive stream]

But my headset and mic still worked when the USB ports died. All the USB ports work now though.

[olive stream]

My mic works but my pc thinks it's a USB stick

My pc is doing a bit of trolling

[crisp sedge]

[burnt anchor]

where did you buy it from @long rover

[modest leaf]

thoughts on a CRT VR headset? i feel like the response time would be so amazing

[summer folio]

Go for it!

[modest leaf]

but are we ready for this sort of advanced tech tho?

Disney Quest VR = CRT

[fluid pewter]

just got permbanned from all of steam, with a 14 year old account

[long briar]

You do realize OLED is as good right...

[fossil frost]

what did you do

[fluid pewter]

I asked someone if i could buy his mann co crate. it got auto filtered as spam and I got auto banned or something

[long briar]

and you actually need a bit of motion blur while using VR to avoid dizziness

[fluid pewter]

the exact wording was "hey can I buy your mann co crate #24"

[long briar]

then appeal what are we supposed to do about it

[full fossil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFswDJPvtPY
so guys somebody just did that....

[steep girder]

I never thought about that. Makes sense. Finally a use for motion blur :)

[modest leaf]

no one makes a relevant OLED headset except PSVR which is poorly supported if at all on PC

[steep girder]

Nah it's just warship. It responds in like .0069s and you get your message removed

If you do it a bunch of times I think only then you might get AB like a few minutes. No biggie. Just stop posting what it's auto-removing :P

[fossil frost]

warship has nothing to do with steam

[steep girder]

Ohhhh

[long briar]

There's a reason lmao

[modest leaf]

y tho? I'd do anything for my C2 OLED in a VR headset

[long briar]

This.

When you move your head around, your vision naturally blurs

[steep girder]

My bad didn't read. Dude that's insane. Pretty sure asking somebody if you can buy their crate is fair game no?

I mean they had their inv set to public etc etc. Wtf. Definitely appeal that shite

[long briar]

when you move a headset around, your eyes aren't actually moving

[modest leaf]

kinda confused because low refresh OLEDs have blur or it could be introduced

[steep girder]

I've gotten Steam to lift my permaban from dota ||shhhhhh|| so you should have a standing chance

It was a BS ban though. I was in low prio pool for fun inactive for a year etc etc you know how she goes

[modest leaf]

the colors, contrast, HDR, and response of OLEDs are so needed in VR 😩

[steep girder]

I just told them never once cheated, never once smurfed, couldn't believe I got banned despite being fair player, etc

I really feel like a asking for a crate isn't AB-worthy unless you're omitting some serious details lol

[long briar]

Fake motion blur helps yes, but then you also run into something called the "screen door effect" of OLED displays

just because OLED's pixel density caps out sooner than LCDs

as in usable pixel coverage*

[modest leaf]

i dont want to live in a world of only LCD VR

gross🤢

[long briar]

You won't, it'll just be a good long while before OLED/MicroLED becomes cheap enough + developed enough to be viable in a Super high density application

[long briar]

Sim racers have been using motion blur for ages just because it replicates real life racing

[modest leaf]

why must i live through this torture

this cruel world

[long briar]

Would you like to go back in time?

[modest leaf]

yes, for CRT VR

[long briar]

VR wouldn't be a thing.

[modest leaf]

the real pinnacle of displays

[long briar]

You don't even know the improvements in image quality of LCDs compared to CRT

My recommendations: You're young. Stop taking things for granted.

[modest leaf]

LCDs are objectively worse, wym? response time is worse, color depth is worse

[steep girder]

Except when they smoothly increase the FOV for some reason to give the illusion ludicrous speed go

This ain't near light speed not sure why timespace has to bend

Noticeably at least

[modest leaf]

where's your sense of humor or accurate judgement?

[long briar]

When you're "driving" 200km+, things actually just all turns into a blur

Perhaps it's tuning the motion blur to be more representative of what humans actually see

[steep girder]

Yeah I did 200 on the dot once. My foot instinctively went off accelerator and locked up lmfao. Good thing though there were OPP up ahead

Maybe I'm just soft.

[modest leaf]

when did you drive 200+km? your peripheral, perhaps, but not where you're directly looking

what's insane is to see the lane dividers turn solid

[long briar]

which is what motion blur does in sim racing?

[long briar]

Yea all I need to do is drive beside a merge lane and watch people move over a solid white line

crazy

[ionic abyss]

i belive linus needs a plumber to look at his cooling loop

[long briar]

until your room becomes a Sauna, a screeching high pitched squeal every time you use it

[ionic abyss]

if he doesnt do it now he will have to in time

[full fossil]

who do you think designed it lol

[long briar]

...? They said the idea was stupid

but can be done?

I thought that was established very very early on

[full fossil]

it was, in like 2021

[fossil frost]

yep, literally the first video they posted on it earlier on this year

[ionic abyss]

the idea will work but it doesnt take but a small mistake to bork a plumbing job

[long briar]

small mistakes happen all the time

[ionic abyss]

atleast linus didnt drop anything that video

[full fossil]

hence why they got a plumber to design it

[long briar]

When you hire a plumber, you're really hiring their experience. Anyone can design a loop, not everyone can fix it if something weird goes wrong

[fossil frost]

plumbing CAN be super easy, but it can also be super hard depending on how complex you are trying to make the particular loop

[ionic abyss]

its not a complex run

[full fossil]

fixing plumbing is one thing, designing it? lol hire a professional
which he did, so

[supple dust]

also ask for their price before calling lmao

[fossil frost]

the price is always free, because i make my brother do it 😄

[vapid smelt]

My dad's a plumber no need to hire one 😎

[long briar]

Trained or self taught lol

[vapid smelt]

Trained

[long briar]

Sheeesh

[vapid smelt]

From normal plumbing like installing plumbing in houses and business to being a head plumber at a huge hospital making just over 100k

[long briar]

my dad is kinda just your everyday electrician that loves to work on just about everything... cars, plumbing, construction... etc...

also 100k here is pretty simple actually

[fossil frost]

sounds like my dad, mechanic, electrician, builder, plumber...

[long briar]

Just go into trades involving oil

It's kinda crazy actually

[full fossil]

maybe dabble in electrical too, just in case lol

[long briar]

electrical for?

[fervent stone]

hmmm not sure which one to go for APC or CyberPower for UPS? are people die hard for APC?

[bronze hatch]

any of u guys see DIY perks lake pc at the same time as LTT?😂

[long briar]

APC is kinda like the Nike of UPS

[fossil frost]

they (used to) sponsor some of the most terrible people on earth?

[long briar]

kekw

[full fossil]

they make dogshit shoes and market it as "air technology"?

[long briar]

I meant moreso on the quality side of things, they're fine, good even.

[long briar]

spoken like someone who wears loafers to work every day

or an elitest about shoes idk

[full fossil]

spoken like someone who runs marathons and wears steel toes to work
Nike shoes are awful

[long briar]

In that case I can see it

iirc Nike heel support is garbage?

[fossil frost]

i run in saucony, and daily/work in DC's 😄

[long briar]

for their sport oriented shoes

I don't run and I work in Adidas

[full fossil]

brooks and red wings/carhartt

[fossil frost]

i used to run in brooks, but they changed their support I bar system, and it started fucking with my knees

[long briar]

Basketball is Under Armour and Snowboard is k2

If anyone goes snowboarding though, avoid k2 boots

and most of their bindings, the boards themselves are generally ok

[fierce moth]

Gotta back up everything on my laptop

[full fossil]

yea they changed stuff like 9 years ago or so, I had to change the type of shoe I ran in from the launch to adrenalines

[fossil frost]

they changed the adrenalines about 4 years ago, which is when i had to switch away from them

[fervent stone]

basically APC it is then lol

[long briar]

no

compare the exact models

[fervent stone]

BX1500M vs CP1500AVRLCD3

[next coral]

what group do i post in for help with my pc?

[fervent stone]

techsupport

[long briar]

I'd say go Cyberpower in this case

[fervent stone]

oh?

why the choice if you dont mind me asking

[long briar]

Faster transfer times, higher surge protection rating, cheaper cells once they (inevitably) wear out

and two extra outlets

[pliant karma]

I got 2 APC units but I got them for free from my moms work

just had to replace the battery on them

[fervent stone]

DAMN YOUU!!!! XD but thats awesome

[long briar]

aye nice

[fervent stone]

faster transfer times - thats nice sorry not 100% understanding on that context. Cheaper cells? - wouldn't I want better quality cells?

[pliant karma]

lol the unit keeping my wifi network alive has never been tested in a power outage but the blackout recently it stayed on for 4 hours before power was restored . Could have gone 5 more hours but hey it works

For what bro

[long briar]

Transfer times are basically the time it takes to move from battery to mains, and cheaper as in pricing. Cell quality are similar at a lower cost

[pliant karma]

depends if it handed in cash then I spend it, online transfer that goes to savings.

"Do you have to speak Russian at ISS?
Yes, all astronauts and cosmonauts aboard ISS need to be able to communicate in both English and Russian. English is the official language of the ISS program, but the reality is that everyone needs to speak both. That goes for the European and Japanese astronauts too."

-Internetz.

[full fossil]

figured

[long briar]

well it does but like, there's really no reason to not

[rain dust]

Not 18

Thats the reason, rather just wait a few months

[long briar]

which is good, many banks don't charge fees for minors

[fervent stone]

ahhhh that makes sense thanks for explaining it

[rain dust]

What fees?

[long briar]

...

[rain dust]

Bro my bad, plis help old wise man

[summer folio]

Bank accounts only exist for the government to controll you easier

Only use cash & cryptocurrency, duh

[rain dust]

U killin me bro

[fierce moth]

Generally taxes and surcharges

[full fossil]

erm, cash is still controlled by the gobernmint

[fervent stone]

Annual fees for credit card, extra protection things stuff like that...

[long briar]

Credit card is 18+

[fierce moth]

I will never get a credit card

[pliant karma]

my college student chase account is like that forgot how long but they'll soon charge a fee so gotta check but it is small anyways

[full fossil]

if you're from north america, good luck in life

[pliant karma]

^and also getting airline miles 🙂

[fierce moth]

I don't plan to travel to North America

[rain dust]

Idk where that is, but i BELIEVE where im at theres no annual fees for debit cards, and also no protection fees bc thats required by law that you get compensated in certain scenarios

[fierce moth]

Or live in North America for that matter

[pliant karma]

But I have 2 got accepted on a third one so waiting

[fossil frost]

a credit card is not a debit card

[fervent stone]

Never said for debit cards, certain credit cards has annual fees, and protection fees is mostly for surcharges and accidental stuff usually whatever bank advertises mostly

[summer folio]

Pretty sure both Mastercard & Visa get's a % of every purcharge you make, so it should be free.

[rain dust]

Im aware, thats why i specified

Why do i need a credit card?

[fierce moth]

So you can give more money to banks

[full fossil]

that fee is for the vendor's usage

[fossil frost]

i use my 0%-interest-on-purchases credit card to pay for my car insurance as a single payment, and then pay the credit card back over 12 months

[summer folio]

I have never seen a store accept American Express tho.
That's must be an USA only thing.

[rain dust]

Yh most credit cards have annual fees prolly, but as said i dont think i need them

[fervent stone]

depends on where you are, it helps builds your credit score, specifically for Canada it helps build your Credit score to buy cars, houses, and if your credit score is to low they even go and reject you on getting phone plans but again that depends on where you are

[summer folio]

aka AMerican Express are useless cards

[rain dust]

Germany

[fervent stone]

then thats completely different XD

[full fossil]

pretty much in NA if you have bad credit, you're fucked

[fervent stone]

yeah lol

[full fossil]

though it's relatively easy to increase, assuming you're in a financially stable position

[rain dust]

You dont happen to have any idea on germany, right?

[summer folio]

[jaunty compass]

I hope we get some more retro time soon

[fossil frost]

in the USA, we are probably not far off some citizens secretly becoming actual cattle

[summer folio]

You and the misses?

[fervent stone]

not at all! NOPE! XD, the only thing that would probably be similar is credit cards depending on what kind your using they sometimes gives deals on certain aspects like cashback or maybe some sort of incentives but not at all

[rain dust]

Thing in germany is idk what i REALLY need a CreditCard for except if i want to buy something im not currently capable of buying like a car or sth...and i think ill wait on stuff like that bc i dont see the sense in spending 2,5k in drivers license and another 2,5k on a old beat up car

[rain dust]

Yeah heard that too, should be same here

[fervent stone]

hahaha yeah, i used to work in Mobile Sales so i had to reject a fair bit of people for low credit scores and identity theft, not fun lol...

[fossil frost]

2.5k on a licence? mine cost £39....

[full fossil]

you'd take out a loan through a bank for a car
the credit card is to build a credit history so the bank will help you at all

[rain dust]

Bro wtf do you mean

No drivers lessons, practical hours etc. Costs?

[fossil frost]

lessons isnt your licence... and i spent about £290 on lessons. £39 on a licence. done

£29/hr, 10 hrs...

[summer folio]

I went to Car/Truck mechanics high school so my license was free/part of class.

[fossil frost]

sorry, i had to pay for a test, i think that was about £50 or something like that... so yeah, less than £400 total if you wanna call lessons part of the licence cost

[rain dust]

Aint no way, germany double that rate for hours AT LEAST, and also double the hours you have to take

[fossil frost]

there is no minimum hours you have to take in the UK, if you pass your test, you get a licence, but an instructor wont put you in for a test if they think you wont pass it. i was ready after 8 lessons, but had paid for 10, so did 2 extra to make sure

[full fossil]

from what I understand german license exam is actually hard

well, not "hard"
but hard compared to here in the usa

[fossil frost]

my friend was in the army, he had no licence, they asked him to get in a truck and move some cargo around... he said he had no licence to drive. so they issued him with a UK driving licence, there and then... no test, no lessons, no nothing

[full fossil]

sounds about right

[rain dust]

For us minimum hours required, and if you fail (test costs ofc) then either retry and spend money or more hours to be prepared better

Certain required number of THEORY hours, same with tests

And driving in my case is not worth like 4k-5k

[full fossil]

y'all have decent public transport though, right

[jaunty compass]

I was referring to the videos on the LTT channel

Or are those on short circuit

I forget

[rain dust]

Hwhahahhahahyhahahhwhs

[full fossil]

FL

must be good enough that you don't need a car so

[rain dust]

Public transport is literally KNOWN for being always late and the entire population jokes about it

Besides that tho its fine

[full fossil]

better than here
we don't have any at all

[rain dust]

Where, wtf

[full fossil]

texas

[fossil frost]

my grandma died, left me some money, spent less than £400 on lessons/test/licence. and then spent £1000 on a 10 year old car that i could actually get insurance for, then spent £900 on insurance. because of where i live, work was limited before being able to drive, driving opened up a lot of opportunities for me. this was well before WFH was a thing anywhere (im in my late 30s here 😄 )

[summer folio]

Well, it's a driving license for adults.
If you allow kids to drive like USA, you gotta lower the difficulty ig.

[full fossil]

15 year old test and adult test are the same

[rain dust]

Oo dayum, thing is here public transport probably costs similarly to driving, and the connections aint that bad

School is like 500m from my house and i work rarely, but my work is right next doors

[summer folio]

My point being was it's crazy letting kids drive death machines.

[full fossil]

no choice here tbh

both parents working 9+ hour days, no public transport

[jaunty forge]

Happy US National Raspberry Cake Day! 🍰

[full fossil]

but yea it drives me nuts seeing a 16 year old driving a lifted F-250 to the mall on their phone

[summer folio]

To be fair, old farmers laws allows kids to drive tractors 🚜 as early as USA here in Sweden.
So rich parents let's their kids register a car as Tractor & configure the engine to go maximum 18 mph = legal for 15-16 years old to drive...

[rain dust]

Yeah but as said, only benefits are flexibility, comfort and jobs (some need driving)

I can just use my parents car but that takes away some flexibility since they need it, and same with job

Im not paying 2-3k when i have public transport for a drivers license

Im afraid of putting my money in stocks kinda too

[idle nymph]

Imagine showing to party Ina tractor

[summer folio]

Also gotta remove the backseat from the Volvo.
The vehicle should be specialy made for transporting things to be allowed as "A-Tractor", not people. 🧃

Bought clothes, hardware and setup already

[summer folio]

[summer folio]

You can gamble on Stocks? Always fun

[rain dust]

As you said, gambling but with the chance of actually winning lol

[rain dust]

Ongg, but just spending it didnt really fulfill me as much as i believed it would

It is nice and seems to "ease" the circumstances you live in kinda tho

[summer folio]

Money does not bring happiness, indeed.

[fossil frost]

it does not, but having it removes a reason for sadness

[rain dust]

I thought my unhappyness was related to money in some way, partially im honest it was, but thats only a small part lol

New clothes and hardware made me less "frustrated" if i for instance have games i couldnt play i was kinda annoyed from it 💀

[timid meadow]

Anyone else catch the scuffed Floatplane ad spot in todays pc pool vid? Beginning of the ad spot linus says something along the lines of "check out this video of the stubby screwdriver", whilst showing the vid of custom lxt screwdriver walk through. Not a big deal, just found it amusing

I think as the other guy said it doesnt make happy, but removes reasons for unhappyness prolly

[timid meadow]

You will be happier with your bills paid then without, youll be happier with a 4090 then a 1060. Once you have all your wants and needs tho (which is alot lower number then most realize), then it tapers out.

[summer folio]

Nobody said debt brings happiness, why u gotta bring in bills into this smh.

[rain dust]

Tbh i got many things i wanted (new gpu as you stated, new setup, new clothes) i either dont know what i want or what i want cannot be bought/its not up to money

[summer folio]

Why would you be happier with a 4090 than a 1060? That makes 0 sense tbh.

https://tenor.com/view/giant-spider-paladin-gs-tibia-video-game-gif-13662153

[rain dust]

Bc playing brings joy, and when sth goes wrong/bad thats less joy

Youd have more joy with a game on max graphics and playing any game, than playing games on low, looking like roblox or not even being able to play some

[summer folio]

I disagree on the whole higher graphic fidelity = More happiness theory.

[timid meadow]

Its not directly that, its an overall quality of experience thing

Doesnt apply to everyone. Nothing does. Normal only exists in statistics

[rain dust]

Fair enough, i FEEL the same, but in theory if you think abt it

I had a rx580 recently and while playing i always got annoyed from the bad graphics etc.

[summer folio]

I played Tibia instead of Wow because Tibia was funnier

https://tenor.com/view/tibia-gif-22073088

WoW on top

[summer folio]

Played Private Server on Fast exp, hit max level(255?) & won the Server 1vs1 Tournament.
After that experience I had "finished" WoW. No need to play anylonger.

[rain dust]

Playing with friends makes a big diff for me tbh

[summer folio]

Hence also why Blizzard slowly milks it 10 level at a time/expansion.
They don't want you to realize the truth.

[rain dust]

Would not play alone either, not anymore that is

[summer folio]

I spent most Time on Tibia in Server Game Chat
So basicly a Discord Server General Chat, but you had MMORPG built in.

[rain dust]

Its obvious, ive played private servers bc its free (mists of pandaria) bc i dont wanna worry abt if the abo-costs were worth it that month if i dont wanna play or sth

[summer folio]

You see?

[rain dust]

Wdym

[summer folio]

Playing for free brings more happiness, not paying for things.
Free = Happiness

[fossil frost]

no, you didnt

[rain dust]

If you can have the same thing for free, free would make you more happy for the reason that you save money.

That's my understanding as well but I wasnt sure if anyone from LTT acknowledged the Amazon thing and officially stated it wasn't them. I guess I can check the forums too

[graceful burrow]

They literally made a video going through counterfeit products my guy idk what more confirmation you need

[silver sinew]

They do sell official shit on amazon though, just not everything

[fossil frost]

no, nothing

Ltt has sold on amazon in the past. I dont see any current listings that look like anything more then a dropship tho.

[shy elk]

Is emulating my own playstation collection illegal

Cause I dropped my dualshock and it broke

No actually I rage quit playing a Japanese game

[fierce moth]

Nah, perfectly legal as you own both the software and the hardware

[summer folio]

United Soybean Board?!?

[fierce moth]

Best of luck to me, gotta not get stabbed on the train

[graceful burrow]

If you download the iso it's illegal in the usa, even if you own the game
If you dump the iso from a disc it's legit

[summer folio]

UK or Paris?

[graceful burrow]

Dunno bout other countries

[shy elk]

I own spyro the dragon p

@graceful burrow

[graceful burrow]

OK and

[shy elk]

I have the cd on my shelf just asking if it's legal to play on my pc

[graceful burrow]

Reread what I said.

[fierce moth]

Straya

[graceful burrow]

I'd be more worried about hostile wildlife

[summer folio]

Punch a kangaroo

Aldonist was quicker

[dapper robin]

https://tenor.com/view/godwit-gif-8688504

[timid meadow]

Yes. And that's exactly why you should do it

Because its pointlessly illegal

[shy elk]

I mean I own the game disc no one can actually do anything about it

[graceful burrow]

Unless you dump the roms yourself*

[graceful burrow]

If you download it online they absolutely can lmao

[sweet orchid]

What was that video where linus tried to see if staff could tell the difference with that vr technology being ported to games where it fills in a predicted object in your view in games. I can't word it any better lol but I can't find the vid

[shy elk]

Yeah but if the asio see real discs they'll just leave

[graceful burrow]

No that's not how it works kek

[shy elk]

Cause I can show them I own the games

[graceful burrow]

The illegal action is the downloading itself

[shy elk]

They only care about films here

[graceful burrow]

You never specified where here is
Maybe you should look at your local laws instead of asking rando's on the internet

[shy elk]

I'm running a bootloader virus on a real pc for the lulz

[graceful burrow]

It'd make to much sense to just do a simple Google search tho ik

[shy elk]

I can't a virus is killing my pc

Well the mbr anyway

my ltt order just got here

80x150cm is substantially larger than i thought

[lament owl]

can anyone help me with my problem in #1027757333117415424

[wispy marsh]

It's a large towel ain't it

Oh, was it a mousepad?

[young root]

yes

my desk is curved hella so shit don't fit

[somber crane]

The malls balls are big and hard, big and hard, in their yard

[young root]

very big

[indigo plume]

any suggestions for a ergonomic chair for tall ppl

[young root]

no

i'm 6'5" and use what i would call a lounger type chair

[past egret]

did the aeron not work

[young root]

it was free, it's probably 20+ years old

[indigo plume]

I feel like aeron wouldnt have enough upperback support

at my height

[past egret]

its the same across the sizes

and the lumbar is more important

[indigo plume]

im not denying the lumbar is important but feel like it wouldnt come up high enough on my back to support it correctly

[past egret]

i dont think you know what youre talking about but neither do i so im just gonna say the aeron is already a good choice

[indigo plume]

was thinking getting the embody insead

[past egret]

equally good choice

they both do pretty much the same thing but i liked the mesh on the aeron more as well as arm support

[indigo plume]

Guess I would order aeron and If I dont like I could return it

could*

[past egret]

did you seriously not find a retailer

[indigo plume]

thre no retailer near by

[past egret]

ok

if youre gonna order and return it, just a heads up its really big and i had to get my mom to help unpack it when it came it for me

[indigo plume]

all the office depots near buy dont have herman miller stuff

[past egret]

thats weird

[indigo plume]

yeah idk

[rain dust]

Wanted to check price and found this first lmao
https://youtu.be/gi9R57g9s9U

Herman miller aeron, how much ist it?

[past egret]

1.4k usd brand new

[rain dust]

Who tf spends that

[past egret]

me, everyone who needs a good chair, offices

[rain dust]

U comfortable with me askinh ur monthly salary after tax?

[past egret]

no

[indigo plume]

its also a buy it for life kinda item

[past egret]

its worth the money, as anyone who has one says

[indigo plume]

its got like 10 year warranty

[past egret]

12 years warranty

[rain dust]

Yh but it costs like (probably) a monthly salary

[warm dust]

What's worth?

[past egret]

i mean when you have a job that needs you sitting down pretty much whole day, you can afford it

[warm dust]

Oh chairs?

I sit on the ground with my back against boxes

[rain dust]

To be fair i spent a monthly salary on my pc/setup, but thats many more things

[past egret]

theres also a standing desk version which ive tried and is pretty cool

[rain dust]

I got an awful 160€ gaming chair thats crippling me

[cedar pebble]

Having a proper chair is definitely important if you sit all day

[rain dust]

Yeah but spending money feels bad, especially if you dont make much

And besides, i got the chair like 1-1,5 yrs ago and feels bad switching it out that early, yk? Its not awful but def not good and a decent chair would run me like 400€+ prolly

[cedar pebble]

Yeah never spend more than you can afford

[rain dust]

Idk if its abt afford

I could prolly spend 500€ on a chair like rn without feeling repurcussions, but 500€ is not worth it to me personally, also due to me being so fluctuant (buying/upgrading things and suddenly not using them)

[pliant karma]

lol at that point ltt deskpad is now a yoga mat

[young root]

tryna find a new desk

[past egret]

well a chair you have to sit on anyway

[pliant karma]

ok well looks like I just dropped my cpu temps down 5c the moment I put my exhaust server fan to 100%

[rain dust]

How low do decent chairs start?

[timid meadow]

Decent depends on the person, specifically your overall build and stature. Few hundred bucks on the low end. Heavier bros need more

[rain dust]

I mean i think a noblechair was decent when i tried it tbh

But ull prolly say its horrible

[past egret]

you can try the ergochair

[timid meadow]

Nah, i game on a couch rn. My back is all fucked up (from gaming on a couch too long)

[past egret]

i heard its a good alternative

[wispy marsh]

Aeron is good

I bought used at ~600, plus Atlas headrest

[sonic spruce]

So who was it I asked for advice yesterday or the day before?

Anyways

[young root]

i paid 0$ for my chair

0 big ones

[distant moat]

Should I buy a 5800x3d or 5950x I do some light cad designing and occasionally some blender render for gaming the cpu heaviest game I play is modded Minecraft

[young root]

5950x

[distant moat]

Thanks

[rain dust]

Already have mobo etc?

[distant moat]

Yeah existing upgrade

I want this to be probably the last Am4 cpu I will buy

[rain dust]

Ah, bc i believe a 7700x was better even :/ oof

[rain dust]

Nah not in multicore

Im stoopid

[manic torrent]

It's exactly 80x150cm 🙂

[young root]

good job bob, you're literate

[full fossil]

Mines like 60 bucks and it's fine lol just wobbles a bit 💀

[distant moat]

How about 5900x vs 5800x3d cause I wont have enough money for cooler after 5950x

[full fossil]

My first and last am4 CPU was 1600

Now I switched to 5800h

[distant moat]

currently on 5600x rn but can't bother to upgrade my motherboard and ram too just for am5

[jaunty compass]

I'm on an i7 11800h; i have no idea what my next upgrade will be

but i know it will be a full platform upgrade, since I went into it knowing that

"Never stop gaming"

you should shut off your computer immediately and figure out why its doing that

[rugged bridge]

its fahrenheit

[velvet marsh]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XRn3Y9
What about this one?

[finite cloud]

80 celsius is still pretty hot. unless they are running a game in the background or something then i guess that makes sense

[rugged bridge]

for a laptop 80 is somewhat common, at least for me

but yh only if they are running something intensive

[hearty spear]

200f = 93c

[finite cloud]

oh

yeah okay thats slightly concerning then

[hearty spear]

100c = 212f

hershey chocolate is basically chocolate flavored wax

Hersheys literally taste like m&ms

The chocolate inside M&Ms isn’t even good

Peanut M&Ms though…

[fierce moth]

There's this import shop in the city that sells all these lollies, I saw Dr pepper and I shied away from it

[polar fern]

Hershey’s chocolate is probably next to the worst

Lindt is the worst

uhh yeah that's how it goes. Get a new monitor

I got bored...
Just did alot of research on Trans surgeries cuz I wanted to know what happens to the male genitalia during the mtf surgery.

[graceful burrow]

Ye

[polar fern]

Yep

[unkempt widget]

on a laptop? perfectly normal

[sweet jetty]

Alright, thanks

Its actually funny how the gpu runs at 70 degrees while the cpus at 95

[graceful burrow]

Where tf have you been

[unkempt widget]

outside

[slow fern]

I thought it would be the other way

[graceful burrow]

Prove it show me some pics of outside that you took

[polar fern]

If you’ve a laptop, blow dust out regularly to avoid Sweater Syndrome

[sweet jetty]

Seems like gaming laptops aren't lap-tops 😭

[slow fern]

Would repasting maybe help bring down the temps a bit

[polar fern]

No

[sweet jetty]

Depends, how new is it?

[slow fern]

If i open chrome the cpu instantly jumps from 50 to 85

[unkempt widget]

i don't really take pictures, i'm gonna go on my friend's insta and find pictures there

[polar fern]

Fans?

[slow fern]

Like new new, maybe used it less than an hour

Fans go vrrroooom

[sweet jetty]

Yeah, don't repaste it for a couple years 😭

[polar fern]

Maybe the fans are spinning wrong

[slow fern]

I feel like there’s something wrong with the thermal paste application cause idk why the cpu temps all over the place. It jumps instantly

[unkempt widget]

fuck i forgot how to use instagram

[polar fern]

Probably fan curve

[slow fern]

Its a ryzen 7 6800H too which i thought would be comparatively more power efficient which would essentially mean less heat

[polar fern]

@unkempt widget step 1: delete instagram. Step 2: feel good that the fascists aren’t scraping your data

[sweet jetty]

Gosh I hated insta

So many creepy people in general

[slow fern]

I mean i got it for 850$ , its got a ryzen 7 6800H + 3070Ti. Was an openbox, prolly the temps are why they returned it in the first place

[unkempt widget]

here is a picture of outside

[graceful burrow]

I post my film photography on Instagram :)

[sweet jetty]

And people go like "omggg how do you not have insta" like dude it's not compulsory? It's literally become a social norm and it's awful since most people don't care about their data

[manic torrent]

nah not a problem at all.

[graceful burrow]

It's a pretty place tho

[unkempt widget]

no

[graceful burrow]

Nah it sketches me out

[slow fern]

Its 50C here, so anywhere else would be better

[graceful burrow]

I don't believe the 50c where are you

[unkempt widget]

it was 32-40 earlier this summer here in ningbo (200ish km south of shanghai), and in humidity and it could go up to 50c

[slow fern]

Kuwait

Its 40 already at 7 am

[unkempt widget]

and then now a typhoon hit

[graceful burrow]

Holy shit they ain't jokin

[manic torrent]

fuck me. I believe you now

[slow fern]

[graceful burrow]

I hope you got a way to stay cool that's dangerous as fuck

[slow fern]

Theres AC basically every single place

[manic torrent]

so you know... I know hot stuff.

[long briar]

you literally can't find anywhere without ac

[graceful burrow]

My AC is at 15 Degrees but the room temps at 20

[graceful burrow]

Have you lived in Kuwait all your life?

[slow fern]

Ac working overtime

[slow fern]

Basically yeah. Moved here when i was 4

[sweet jetty]

It was 50c at peak Indian summers a bit back

[graceful burrow]

Have you noticed the weather getting hotter over the years

[unkempt widget]

worst thing about the heat here in eastern china is that it's fucking humid

[long briar]

Americans are welcome, you might just have a fun time trying to get around because the English signs while increasing, still suck ass

[graceful burrow]

Or has it been pretty steadily miserable

[sweet jetty]

That's just everywhere, no?

[graceful burrow]

That's part of the fun
I'd just stick to the touristy areas
China is a dream country to visit, I got a couple

[graceful burrow]

Yeah :(

[long briar]

there was an at most 5% grade hill that had a caution steep sign

[vapid smelt]

must be because of all the crypto mining kicking off heat

[slow fern]

It usually dint go above 45 for the past 10 years but now it goes over 45 very frequently. Winters are usually around 7-20C.

[graceful burrow]

I want less intense weather like when I was a kid :(

[slow fern]

Sometimes it hails literal ice and the deserts get covered with a layer of ice

[long briar]

for me it's both. Hot seasons getting hotter and cold seasons getting colder. Usually ranges from -40c to 40c throughout the year nowadays with a week or two at both peaks

[sweet jetty]

Trueee

[slow fern]

The weather here is very very extreme

[graceful burrow]

Winters in the American Midwest have gotten colder, summers hotter
Hate it

[modest sierra]

dude im in central valley california and we've had 3 weekends in a row where its been 110+

[slow fern]

Moving to Linus’s province (British Columbia) in 20 days so cant wait lmao

[unkempt widget]

winters here are also getting colder

[long briar]

what's that in the correct temp units?

[long briar]

good luck

[graceful burrow]

"climate change isn't real tho no evidence 🤡"
We need to work towards fixing that

[sweet jetty]

Around 43.4

[unkempt widget]

49c i think

[long briar]

BC is a very expensive place to live, but other than that it's rather rainy and given most of its major cities are near the ocean, stable temps

[sweet jetty]

It's (temp in f -32) x 5/9

[unkempt widget]

i remember last year november when it went from 18C to -6C in under 36 hours

[graceful burrow]

@long briar You're in China too right or am I misremembering

[long briar]

I'm from China

Guangzhou so SE China, moved to Canada really early on

[sweet jetty]

Dude I wanna see the Chinese phone markets so bad

[long briar]

I visit in the winters because I can't stand heat anymore

[unkempt widget]

worst thing about the heat in southern china is it's humid lmfao

if you sweat, you're not getting rid of that sweat anytime soon lmfao

[long briar]

Really funny story, it was the winter when I visited a few years back and I was in shorts and a t shirt... while everyone was in like down jackets

[manic torrent]

irony is, china is doing 1000000000000x more than the US

[graceful burrow]

You won't catch me rooting for the usa

[modest sierra]

i don't know i onyl speak in freedom units 🦅

[long briar]

helps when the people actually respect the government despite it's... yk

[unkempt widget]

lol it was late march this year when it was around 16-20C at daytime and i was in tshirts and everyone else was like "are you not cold"

[manic torrent]

it's not a matter of respect really, it's more one of enlightened self interest.

[slow fern]

Its got 12% tax on electronics and thats the only thing that freaks me out a bit

[long briar]

Yeeee it was more my grandparents kept trying to get me to wear jackets and stuff and I'm like "it's hot enough already"

[unkempt widget]

LOL MY PARENTS DO THAT TOO

[slow fern]

Theres 0 tax here so its a bit of a downgrade in that regard but i prefer rainy climates so its worth it

[long briar]

that's just BC things. Want no PST? come to Alberta

[graceful burrow]

I wanna be the big bumbling American tourist that's one of my bucket list items
I'm 6 foot tall I stand out most places

I could be a great bumbling American

[unkempt widget]

lol i'm 6 foot tall and i don't stand out at all

[long briar]

5% GST from federal government and nothing else

[sweet jetty]

Imagine being 6 feet tall

[graceful burrow]

You short or somethin?

[sweet jetty]

Shawties

[unkempt widget]

i bet you're 5'4

[long briar]

that depends on where you go, but yea that's pretty tall for most of China... I'm 5'7 and average for my age kekw

[sweet jetty]

No I'm 7' 😎

[slow fern]

Laughs in 6’4

[graceful burrow]

I don't believe you

[sweet jetty]

(real)

[unkempt widget]

and what's your age?

[slow fern]

7 inches or 7 feet?

[graceful burrow]

You gotta prove the 7' claim

[sweet jetty]

Bet, how?

[long briar]

I don't wanna disclose but I'm old enough to drink

[sweet jetty]

🤨

[graceful burrow]

Shit idk

[long briar]

(legally in Canada)

[sweet jetty]

How's the weather down there?

[long briar]

in China if your parents aren't reporting you to the police you can drink at any age

[slow fern]

Do a handstand while holding your phone and take a pic

[unkempt widget]

lie down next to 11 bananas

[graceful burrow]

You can't ask that I'm still way above average lmao

[sweet jetty]

guys im 5'0

[unkempt widget]

if you're taller than the 11 bananas, you're 7 feet

[graceful burrow]

🤏

[long briar]

To think that I'm only as tall as 5 and a half subs

[sweet jetty]

Lmfao shut up

[unkempt widget]

lol nobody cares if you drink in china

[sweet jetty]

6 inch subs or 12 inch?

[slow fern]

I could eat all that in 5 minutes

[graceful burrow]

Do you want a piggy back ride save you some steps

[long briar]

rookie numbers

[sweet jetty]

😭😭😭 lmfaoo

[fallen cedar]

we talking about buts?

[long briar]

exactly, as long as you're not harming anyone else...

[sweet jetty]

Nah, Im good man

[unkempt widget]

you could buy alcohol in convenience stores and the cashier would not id you

[slow fern]

Sorry all powerful sub gobbler, I had underestimated your gobbling powers

[long briar]

subs are 12" standard

6" is half of a sub

[unkempt widget]

not that i did it or anything

[sweet jetty]

Really? I thought they were 6" standard

[graceful burrow]

@unkempt widget if I ever go to China I'm hitting you up so you can tell me some cool places to go

[unkempt widget]

you can visit the city i live in (ningbo) and die of boredom

[long briar]

actually maybe, north america has things just... big

[graceful burrow]

I do that in the American Midwest already

[unkempt widget]

oh fair enough

[graceful burrow]

Ain't shit here but nothin

[slow fern]

Whats a good place in china to recruit workers for my sweatshop

[long briar]

like 4l milk jugs and family sized bags of chips

[sweet jetty]

THATS WHAT SHE S

[unkempt widget]

the nice thing about china is it's really cheap

[long briar]

except for gas

[slow fern]

I can provide incentives

[sweet jetty]

Depends commodity to commodity

[unkempt widget]

well you're not gonna rent a car if you visit china

[sweet jetty]

Afaik

[long briar]

holy balls it's always funny how I can fill full tanks of gas in a large suv and not think too much about money... then my relatives find out and go wtf

[unkempt widget]

you could get across the entire city of shanghai in less than 10rmb (1.5usd iirc) by subway

[long briar]

that said yea, China rail infrastructure is far superior

[graceful burrow]

It costs more in the usa to take a train around the country than it does to just fly

[slow fern]

We got gas here at 0.28$/L

[graceful burrow]

And not by a small amount it's like 3x more expensive

[slow fern]

Cheaper than water afaik

[long briar]

it's a little under half that where I live rn

[sweet jetty]

India is super cheap with practically anything

[unkempt widget]

cabs in shanghai are kinda expensive, but in ningbo, you can literally get a 30ish minute cab and it would cost like 16rmb (2.24usd)

[sweet jetty]

Middle East?

[slow fern]

Not with oil and electronics though but other day to day stuff seems to be cheap

[slow fern]

Yep

[graceful burrow]

If I go to China I'm bringing back a Sparkle a380

[sweet jetty]

Electronics and oil are at par with most of the west tbh

[slow fern]

Ah tbh yeah thats true

[unkempt widget]

you can rent a bike (it's literally everywhere, like there's a rental bike within a minute of walking no matter where you are) for 1.5rmb/30 minutes

[long briar]

it's 131.9¢ and 147.9¢ Canadian dollars per L for regular and premium gas respectively where I live

[sweet jetty]

The internet prices tho... Absolutely dirt cheap

[long briar]

They have the population

[graceful burrow]

I'd be worried about "the great Chinese firewall" but I can't image it's hard to bypass if you're tech literate

[long briar]

A good VPN will do just fine

[slow fern]

Compared to the middle east, I had a friend who said it was cheaper to get a flight to dubai , buy an iphone and then go back for the price of an iphone in india

[long briar]

Tho don't ever admit you're using one

You likely won't get in trouble but it's not worth risking it

[graceful burrow]

Fair

[unkempt widget]

so if you sit on a bike for 3 hours and a half, you would barely use 1 usd

[long briar]

remember: if you run android, you can't access play store in China

[graceful burrow]

You can manually set VPN stuff on android so you don't even have to install an app

[long briar]

you have to use a third party store. Apple doesn't have this problem

[unkempt widget]

lol if you're in a bar/club and someone hits you up, they always ask for your insta as well as your wechat

[sweet jetty]

550 dollars a year for gigabit fiber wifi and your phone number 😭

[slow fern]

Wait does the symbol represent CAD or is it like the penny version of CAD

[long briar]

that's cents, 100 cents = 1 dollar

[unkempt widget]

wtf where do you live in canada

[slow fern]

Ahh

[long briar]

Alberta 🙂

[unkempt widget]

it's like 200 in vancouver now

[long briar]

ye it's crazy

[slow fern]

I assume 200 is basically 2 CAD?

[unkempt widget]

yes

[slow fern]

Interesting

[long briar]

I had some friends over from BC and I was filling up a van with 50L of gas... And they were like "wtf I'm taking a pic and showing my friends"

just cause I didn't break 3 digits to fill a tank of gas

[slow fern]

I pay around 15$ per month for 1TB 5G internet at ~800MBPS

[rare hamlet]

[long briar]

it was like literally 96 at the time

[unkempt widget]

another nice thing about china: you literally don't need a car to go anywhere

[long briar]

A car for me is literally necessary to get anywhere

[long briar]

yessir... I miss walkable cities

[sweet jetty]

Damn, fair

[unkempt widget]

first of all there's grocery stores and stuff like that everywhere

[long briar]

yea so that's where I get screwed. it's about 70cad for 500/150 fibre ON PROMOTION

Phone plans are worse

[unkempt widget]

and calling a cab is literally less expensive than driving a car

[sweet jetty]

Oh, I forgot to mention, the phone plans are for 3 people in those 500 buckos

You can have upto 5
