I love gamecubes

[full fossil]

hmmmmmm

[near nymph]

orange pecan cookies from costco

[full fossil]

hm i have a old dell i want to use it as a router.

[full fossil]

ohh nicee

[near nymph]

Also the Oatmeal Raisin cookie they gave to Creators and Whales were pretty nice... At LTX23

they threw one into the staff/volunteer lunches

[median idol]

Oh and those date cookies (kleicha) are also the bomb

[elfin jetty]

[median idol]

Yeppers Iraqi date cookies. We get those a lot from the Arab markets near me

[near nymph]

Nice Shaft Bro

I'm not sure why Mike from TheStaceyRoy was carrying a box of Cheese crackers around...

[elfin jetty]

I love it, I couldnt go to ltx but I got myself a black shaft screwdriver back when they launched

[near nymph]

I got a popup and 2x stubby, and well... 2 black screwdrivers now. and a custom driver 😄

I just gave my friend stubby and 2 drivers

[near nymph]

ngl. if someone paid me I would have just mailed on to them.

anyways... how is everyone doing tonight?

[median idol]

Having an existential crisis

[rough socket]

I slept with cockroch so not the greatest

[polar fern]

Just finished a mug of fruit black tea + chocolate sauce. 👍

You have a cookotchka?!

[elfin jetty]

tea + chocolate? I've never heard of that

[polar fern]

Oh, my friend.

You are missing out.

[elfin jetty]

wait

is it like hot chocolate but with tea adding to the flavor?

[polar fern]

for several years before the pandemic, I would regularly go to Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts and order the Chai tea and have them add chocolate sauce to it. 😌

[elfin jetty]

ima have to try that sometime

[polar fern]

Hot chocolate is a weird gross American thing where people add water to chocolate powder. No. This is chocolate sauce I add to the tea & stir in. I usually add milk or half/ half to my tea (or coffee).

It’s still weird to me how some people make oatmeal with water instead of milk. Like what’s appealing about hot & damp oats

[elfin jetty]

oh nah i do it with a chocolate bar and hot milk

[polar fern]

That is the proper way to do it

[elfin jetty]

pretty good tbh

[polar fern]

Stir the bar in the milk. Mix different bars together. Different types of milk.

[elfin jetty]

I think ima try some of those chocolates with the melty centers next time i go to the store

[polar fern]

When I get the money together, I’m going to be buying some goat milk and a bit of baking chocolate and I’m going to see if I can make a chocolate drink which works & has a bit more flavor profile from the milk.

[rough socket]

We slept in a french castle for a wedding and there were cockroaches in our room

[polar fern]

They are cleaner than you are, fun fact.

People think that insects are somehow dirty, but they aren’t. I mean, flies and stuff land on guano, sure, but mostly they’re clean.

The inside of a honey bee hive is basically sterile, for example.

[rough socket]

Yeah but still I'm not too fond of sleeping with cockroches

[polar fern]

I can understand not wanting stuff walking on you while you are sleeping, sure. I’m just saying that they are harmless.

Not trying to minimise your discomfort just trying to explain that they’re not dirty or something

[idle nymph]

I add milk to cacao, taste good

[polar fern]

Yis.

Spicy cacao is also pretty good.

[idle nymph]

Dunno bout that

[full fossil]

Who the hell uses water...

[polar fern]

I know.

it’s a weird thing left over from the space race era, where you just added water to anything = ready to eat

[brave lodge]

Milk + cocoa powder is hot chocolate not water and it’s good

U can use water but it’s ass

[polar fern]

Post mix powders + water usually are.

I am going to hop in my flying car and fill my drink container with wet dust on my way to the zero-g dance hall.

[idle nymph]

I love chewing-gum gum tbh

[elfin jetty]

Gonna out myself and say ill do this when im lazy, lol

[polar fern]

That’s fine, but you don’t really wanna -boil- the milk by itself because the solids will stick to the bottom of the pot.

A bit of wispy vapor coming off the top is what you are looking for, and then you turn the heat off

You can also make proper masala Chai tea this way

[shut lichen]

step 1: put about 2 heaped teaspoons of drinking chocolate into cup, may vary based on cup size
step 2: add a tiny bit of hot water to cup, to make the powder into a thick liquid
step 3: measure out enough milk to fill cup
step 4: heat milk. microwave is easiest, just hot enough to be too hot to drink, no need to get anywhere near boiling temp
step 5: remove skin from milk if it has formed
step 6: pour a bit into cup and mix
step 7: pour the rest in while continuing to mix

if you're a fancy fuck with an espresso machine, use the wand to heat and foam the milk

[polar fern]

🤔

[past egret]

this tbh

[fierce moth]

Gamecubes are cool

Bottom one is my personal one, and the top on was a customers gamecube coming in for a mod chip

[sick coral]

14$

[fierce moth]

I could get an ltt water bottle or add hdmi to my gamecube

[sick coral]

buy water bottle

how can you game if youre dying of dehydration

[fierce moth]

I mean, I do have glassware

[bright granite]

Can anyone remember any videos about click farms?

[summer folio]

The 22 year old forum I always reas, just shut down, this is so sad

Now the internet is a worse place

[sick coral]

Vtol vr and H3vr is a go to

[near nymph]

I just received a heat warning as an emergency?

[fierce moth]

The people who issued that warning shouldn't be allowed in Australia during the summer

[bright granite]

Damned climate change

[near nymph]

I wanna go to bed...

[worn shard]

Wil pc/laptop prices drop in the next 2 years?

[plush rivet]

No idea
We don’t know the future

[polar fern]

Probably not

[split shoal]

WOOOOOOO

[polar fern]

Glad you’re so excited

[split shoal]

Carlton just beat Melbourne in the AFL

[split shoal]

Or the top end of Australia anytime

[polar fern]

@near nymph stay indoors/shade etc.

[near nymph]

28c-33c
Mhmm... 28c I can survive...

33c doe... Ummm

[midnight elk]

It got to 40c yesterday for me 😭

[tacit robin]

Guys do you know where to buy pc parts in UK?

Any official site or anything?

[neon mesa]

Seems like my S8+ top 1/3rd of the screen no longer register touch screen, i have to replace my phone earlier than i thought

LCD replacement is more expensive than used units

Thinking on getting a used note 10+, cheap and a solid 2 generation upgrade

[indigo comet]

I'm in Ireland, but I just buy from amazon or the companies site.

[wraith belfry]

Hi

[polar fern]

Ahoy

[wraith belfry]

How r u doin

[polar fern]

Utterly sleep deprived, but otherwise pretty good … and you?

[wraith belfry]

Not rlly

[polar fern]

having a rough time?

[wraith belfry]

Yea

[polar fern]

That sucks, I’m sorry

[wraith belfry]

Broke my arm yesterday

[polar fern]

I can see why you would be having a rough time then for sure

anyone else get hurt or just you?

[wraith belfry]

Only me

[polar fern]

Sounds incredibly frustrating and scary

[wraith belfry]

Yea

Its my first time breaking smth

[polar fern]

Well you’ll probably be fine but it’s going to be really frustrating for at least a few weeks

[wraith belfry]

3 months healing

It broke in 3 different places

[polar fern]

that sounds complicated and frustrating

[wraith belfry]

It is

[polar fern]

Well, I’m glad you’re here

[wraith belfry]

Question

[polar fern]

?

[wraith belfry]

Can u help me build a pc?

On nl.pcpartpicker.com

[polar fern]

not really up for that type of thing, but I could definitely answer single questions about components and stuff as could several other people active on here

Did you have a particular build in mind?

[wraith belfry]

Intel

#1139925634966110208

[polar fern]

Well, that’s just one part, I’m talking about the whole package

Do you have a concept of what you want to look like when you’re done?

[wraith belfry]

Chat at #1139925634966110208

Ill say the needs in there

[polar fern]

Like I said, I’m not really up for an in-depth discussion about building a PC, but I can definitely point you in the right direction on specific items

[wraith belfry]

Oh ok

[polar fern]

Normally I would be happy to walk you through the entire process. However, I am just too sleep deprived. I’ve been awake over 24 hours and my brain just isn’t working the way it should

[wraith belfry]

Oh

U should rlly get sleep

[polar fern]

Yes that’s the plan, but I have some stuff I need to do around the house first which can’t be put off

[wraith belfry]

Ok

[polar fern]

Also, if you are able to, I would suggest checking out the forum and asking questions there. Make sure you’re very specific because the more information people have the better the answers they can provide you

[indigo plume]

ive gone back to the g502

[past egret]

Is it possible to change the delivery date on Amazon? I ordered a couple of things and I set it to come on Tuesday cause that’s when I’m gonna be home but this morning I got a notification saying it’s gonna come this morning but nobody is at my house including me and we won’t be back until tomorrow.

[full fossil]

shouldve ordered a day or 2 later idk

[shut lichen]

unless you need to sign for it, they should just leave it

otherwise you just go get it from the post office

[low rain]

I just don’t want somebody to steal my package

My packages have gotten stolen like twice

[shut lichen]

sucks to be you then I guess

[low rain]

That’s why I set shipping for Tuesday

[shut lichen]

amazon arrival dates are just an estimate

they will often arrive earlier, sometimes much earlier

[full fossil]

Sometimes MUCH later

Amongus is a good game (lie)

[low rain]

Mine usually arrive late 💀💀💀

Like a day or two late

[timid meadow]

Mine are usually pretty accurate. Depends on where you live 🤷

[mild elm]

What was the point of this message

[bleak compass]

Never had a late delivery

They usually come a day early

And I live in the middle of nowhere

[full fossil]

None

I've realized something, I've been watching Lucifer for some time and
He is bri'sh
The root of all evil is the uk

[dull tapir]

anyone here knows where they sell shelves like monitor stands for desks

there is nothing on ikea

[full fossil]

grovemade, though they're pricey

[dull tapir]

are they in europe

[full fossil]

i'm sure they ship to europe, but they're not based there

[dull tapir]

then i bet tax will be insane

i just see those shelves in all setups

but i am not able to find them online i thought ikea would have them

i did have to make a custom maple wooden desk

[full fossil]

https://oakywood.shop/collections/desk-organization this company is from poland

[dull tapir]

i checked some carpenters but they sell shelves for 350 eur while i paid for whole desk 100 eur

[oak kindle]

@dull tapir are ideas really bulletproof?

[dull tapir]

thx pretty pricey for such small selection

[dull tapir]

ideas are but their byproducts are not

jesus oakywood sells shelves for 180eur and 200eur you can make at home for 50eur or 60eur

[tired glade]

Yep, but not everyone can do it

[oak kindle]

wdym

[wild lynx]

guys the 14th gen will use lga 1700 or the new socket lga 1851 ?

[oak kindle]

the rpl refresh will use lga1700 yes

[wild lynx]

is it confirmed yet ?

[dull tapir]

you are not able to shoot ideas right

because they are not materialistic

[full fossil]

Yes they confirmed it like a decade ago lol

[summer folio]

When random blank window pops up on your screen when not touching pc & dissapears as quickly
Then mouse has loading wheel & back to normal

[safe peak]

is there a recent thread or forum post about which gpu to get in different budget tiers?

[oak kindle]

yes, but you can convince people out of them

[cursive slate]

hello

iam unable to expand my local disk volume, can anyone help me please

[night heron]

14th gen is confirmed to be another refresh on the same lga1700 socket

[cursive slate]

i have unallocated volume

[night heron]

they might give lower skus more cores and theyll probably bump clockspeeds a bit

[peak dew]

Whoever created protective gpt partition deserves to be shot in the dick

making my BRAND NEW SSD USELESS ffs so annoying

I did diskpart select disk clean convert mbr

and after all that it goes from 2tb to 1gb

so it works only as a 1gb drive and not the full 2tb

[night heron]

mbr is poopy

[peak dew]

I did EXACTLY what google told me to do to fix the issue

I personally HATE MBR and hope it gets wiped from existence

[shut lichen]

user error

I will not elaborate

[peak dew]

It worked for 2 mins

[olive sinew]

Thought about the orange or pinkish one but I got the teal

[idle nymph]

FUCK YEAH

[olive sinew]

I plan to acquire all of the bananas

[hot tartan]

How many specifically

[night heron]

im actually totally down with it

lockdown was fun, the internet and gaming was poppin while everyone was stuck home

2020-21 was peak valorant

[tardy terrace]

Lockdown was not fun because a good third of the world collapsed

[full fossil]

Skill issue

[idle nymph]

I dont care lmao

Was the best time of My life

Except for the Hardware pricing

[shut lichen]

as someone from a country that actually did lockdown properly... I'd happily have another holiday

though I can't trust that a certain few idiots won't try rioting outside of parliment again

[summer folio]

We had no lockdown in Sweden 😔

[idle nymph]

We had à massive one in France lmao

Was fucking civil war here

[full fossil]

It helps that your population isn’t that dense and is healthy

[shut lichen]

the eftpostle and his clueless followers like to ruin things for us

[night heron]

average day in france

[full fossil]

We just had people whining about freedoms

[idle nymph]

Yeah thats True lmao

I stg France is à fucking warzone at some time

[full fossil]

It’s france
As much as there’s “lol surrender!!” memes, they don’t fuck around

[idle nymph]

We fuck ourself up more than we fuck up other country up lmao

[idle nymph]

Lmao you should see the average riot here

Its like à fucking terrorist attack

[full fossil]

Pass

[idle nymph]

Its wild

[shut lichen]

a bit history of not surrendering, and they get remembered for the times they surrendered

[idle nymph]

I mean, it was really à big ass defeat, but yeah it get annoying

Were the country whit the most war won, yet they all see us as coward

[full fossil]

Anyone who unironically thinks france is a pushover doesn’t know shit about history

[idle nymph]

Aka the average American id say

[jaunty compass]

they lost like two wars and now everyone makes joke about them surrendering 💀

[jaunty compass]

so what you're saying is we need to learn a thing or two

[idle nymph]

The worse is that people only remember ww2

[idle nymph]

Yep, learn From us, the national Day is the Day we all rioted against the King

Ironic thing is that Day is not about that dya, but about the same Day one year later when we did à big Party to celebrate

[shut lichen]

half the people online seem to not even properly remember ww2

[full fossil]

I try not to discuss ww2 online, it brings out the weirdos

[shut lichen]

yeah

[wispy egret]

the rules say not to ping staff but instead" DM our moderation bot" is this warship?

[idle nymph]

I never talk about it, make me Lose faith in humanity

[full fossil]

Yes

[shut lichen]

well it's the only bot... and the description it has literally has "moderation" in the first few words

[wispy egret]

true, thats what i assumed but the account lmgcommunity sounded like it could be also so wanted to make sure i was messaging the right one

[shut lichen]

it's not a bot

[summer folio]

What? New rule just dropped?

[forest knoll]

i bought a dxracer chair today, but its so hard to assemble the backrest

like its impossible, idk if i am doing something wrong but i literally cannot do this shit

[summer folio]

Oh, you meant LTT staff members?

Not discord staff members

aka golden, langley, momo

Linus only ever typed here like twice, so not very hyped to engage with his community

[hardy palm]

OK, I got a question.

I just got a ROG z11, and I need replacement parts.

[full fossil]

mf said 4k is worth it

its just like 720p

[karmic flame]

@wispy egret Dm me

[vapid zephyr]

The rules say to tag the Mod role or DM warship for issues, not that you exclusively have to DM warship now

[vapid zephyr]

Him engaging with the Discord would be a horrible idea anyway, so

[vapid smelt]

He has more in fp chat

[median idol]

I never see him online

I've seen Jake post once in a blue moon

Probably the most I've seen post from my time here is Nick Heavy

In terms of LMG staff

[idle nymph]

Why so? Just wondering

[vapid zephyr]

Because the chat would either explode with messages or reactions

[idle nymph]

Thats... À good reason tbh

[rare hamlet]

Anyone know how your able to play Minecraft Java on pc with someone else? Can’t be LAN

[summer folio]

install an emulator,
Minecraft on console supports split-screen multiplayer

[hot tartan]

Or free server hosting

[rare hamlet]

No like say I’m in a state I want to play someone in another state

So not like side by side

I can’t figure out how to play Java on multiplayer

[rare hamlet]

Yea but it’s not free it’s like 3 bucks a month or something to play on a world

[indigo plume]

Welp I returned embody chair

[full fossil]

Host the server yourself

[rare hamlet]

Yea that costs money

[full fossil]

No it doesn't

[indigo plume]

Embody over priced and just hurt my back

[rare hamlet]

Where are you seeing it doesn’t

[full fossil]

if your locally hosting it on your computer it's free dude

[indigo plume]

And arm rests were terrible

[rare hamlet]

I’m on Minecraft Java

[indigo plume]

Idk how embody rated so high

[full fossil]

yeah look up on YouTube how to host a minecraft server

[rare hamlet]

I’m trying to play with someone on the other side of the United States

[full fossil]

It would work from anywhere

[indigo plume]

Who needs server just use hamachi lmao

[full fossil]

Hamachi is stupid af

[indigo plume]

Why

[full fossil]

cause it's such a pain to set up

[indigo plume]

My buds used it all the time

And a server isnt

[full fossil]

you gotta get all your friends to download it and connect every time you wanna play

[indigo plume]

And hamachi takes like 10 mins to set up

[full fossil]

with a server it's just ip and join

[indigo plume]

And hardly has issues

[full fossil]

more issues then a server

[rare hamlet]

Don’t you need to be on the same network tho

[full fossil]

Nope just look it up lmao

[indigo plume]

If u have zero experience with servers it def harder to deal with than hamachi

[full fossil]

Hamachi is outdated plus how are you going to use plug-ins and if you want to join the world it has to be when your friend is online

[rare hamlet]

I am

[indigo plume]

Why do u need plugins lmao

[full fossil]

servers are very newbie friendly

[indigo plume]

Nah

[full fossil]

yeah there are countless guides forums and stuff

[indigo plume]

I watched read some post about and it just made my head hurt

So FK that

[full fossil]

the help is out there not anyone else's fault if you can't take it in

[indigo plume]

Not everyone is a zoomer

Who is tech savvy

[rare hamlet]

Only thing that’s free is lAN but it doesn’t work because you need to be on the same network

[hot tartan]

A friend of mine uses a website called Aternos for free server hosting

[full fossil]

yup

[indigo plume]

Not everyone grew up with advanced technology

[full fossil]

this is not advanced technology it's the minimum

[night heron]

man i was able to host a minecraft server as a 13 year old with zero software knowledge and very little hardware knowledge

[indigo plume]

When I grew up MFS just played on GameCube and that's it

No technical bs to screw with

[full fossil]

you just click buttons

especially for aternos

[rare hamlet]

I’m trying to do it for free and play someone from the other side of the US only thing is LAN buy you need to be on the same network

[night heron]

hosting a minecraft server is free and it's not limited to lan

[full fossil]

No it is not do your research before coming to these conclusions lmao

[night heron]

you just have to forward a port for people to connect to in your router settings

[indigo plume]

It's too hard

[rare hamlet]

How do you do that

[full fossil]

youtube

[indigo plume]

Tried port forwarding once and messuo my internet lmao

Idk what I did

[full fossil]

I don't think that's possible dude

[indigo plume]

Well I did it

[night heron]

probly touched a different setting on accident

[indigo plume]

When from open nat types to restricted on like everything lol

[full fossil]

that would be the parental control settings or something

[indigo plume]

So internet to hard

Same with server stuff

[full fossil]

well oh well then best leave it alone I guess

[indigo plume]

I'm not a tech wizard

I'm 28 year old man who just play games don't do any tech stuff lol

[rare hamlet]

How do grian mumbo etc play hermicraft what thing are they using to set the server up

[indigo plume]

Like I don't even build my own PC's

Cuz I'll just break something if I build it

[full fossil]

Dude I'm telling you right now Look up a video on YouTube of how to make my own minecraft server

[hot tartan]

@rare hamlet go google aternos server hosting

[indigo plume]

Embody most overrated chair

Guess I'll stick to the gaming chair

[full fossil]

im using an old wooden kitchen chair

[polar fern]

I’m 6’5 & been in 7 ER visit bike crashes. Don’t @ me with back pain. 🤣

Thought it was F10?

Or shift 3 times?

[rare hamlet]

Just try alt f4 and close out of the thing your in

[polar fern]

Right click the applications icon on the taskbar

Select “move”

Move the cursor to near the middle of the screen

Use the arrow keys to move the window on the screen

Press enter

[polar fern]

Ok try this: Launch the program or app.
Press the Shift key and right-click the active program or app icon located on the taskbar.
Select Move from the pop-up menu

Press the left arrow or right arrow key until the program or app appears on the screen.

[dull granite]

[dull granite]

hello 12

hello biker and hello bowser's minion

Why are ergo chairs made for ppl who are midgets

[polar fern]

Press Alt+Tab to select the lost window, then hold the Windows key and tap the left or the right arrow key to snap the window back onto the screen

[vapid smelt]

How tall are yeee!

[indigo plume]

6'4

Tried embody chair it hurt me

[polar fern]

@indigo plume recently bought a fairly expensive chair, only to find that the headrest is more of a shoulder rest

[indigo plume]

Guess I'm too tall for it

[polar fern]

Yeah. They’re meant for people up to around 6 foot

[indigo plume]

Lower back pain

From the lumbar

[polar fern]

I sat in the chair, and my elbows were about 3 inches above the arm rests

[indigo plume]

Also the arm rests were terrible

[polar fern]

Yep

Tall problems.

[indigo plume]

Like zero adjustment for a 2k chair is ridiculous

[polar fern]

@full fossil any luck?

[indigo plume]

Even the secrecy lab chair got more adjustable arms lol

[polar fern]

yeah you don’t even get what you pay for. It’s like luck of the draw really especially when you’re tall

[indigo plume]

I'm going back to secret lab chair for now

If I got aeron I'd prob have same problem

[polar fern]

I gave you all of the stuff that I know and have found on Google, so I’m not really sure

Maybe try moving the taskbar to the top of the screen

[olive sinew]

What is everyone’s favorite OEM? (I.e. Dell, Acer, etc.)

I’m all for MSI and Dell

[indigo plume]

Idk what OEM means

[olive sinew]

manufacturer

[polar fern]

Not a corporate fanboy. I use what works and recommend the best available options.

[indigo plume]

I guess LG

[full fossil]

original equipment manufacturer

[olive sinew]

Yeah

[indigo plume]

Lg has never let me down with monitors

[full fossil]

lg and dell

[olive sinew]

Yay more dell fans

[vapid smelt]

Dell only makes good monitors

[forest knoll]

how tf do i assemble the backrest to the rest of the dxracer chair, like i have to make it not fall whrn its placed there and even if i do the screws are impossible to screw in because there is cloth in the way

[eager notch]

The whole problem with this sort of product from today's main channel video is if someone is too tech illiterate to run an antivirus scan, good luck getting them to be able to change the default boot device

[hot tartan]

Dell monitors are pretty good

[olive sinew]

I like the old Optiplex models

[hot tartan]

I have an XPS and I love it

I’ve wanted the qd oled one for so so long

[polar fern]

@eager notch there are a few other videos that can tie into this one with more elaborate instructions

[full fossil]

Old laptops are not bad imo tho

[indigo plume]

Is there any ergo chairs that actually are made for ppl who are tall

[polar fern]

Very few

[full fossil]

Hell no

[hot tartan]

Almost all the other displays in my house are oled, laptop, phone, tv, but my monitor is still just some random Dell one lol

[eager notch]

My HP monitor is better than the Dell monitor I have with the same LG panel

Because I broke the Dell one and so it doesn't work correctly anymore

[olive sinew]

But what good Dell monitors are there? (that aren’t pocket busters)
I have a Dell monitor but it makes everything look like it has a brown or green tint over it
(Yellow colors are washed out/look green regardless of settings)

[indigo plume]

Dell overpriced

[vapid smelt]

You think we buy prebuilts?!

Same company so yes

[olive sinew]

I mean sure, mines just Dell branded though, not from the Alienware branch

[eager notch]

I bought this one in 2021 and it was great until I broke it (entirely my fault)

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/s2721dgf

[olive sinew]

I’m broke, so anything I can get new or used for a decent deal? I guess that’s how I can put it

[eager notch]

We talking $50 or $10,000?

[olive sinew]

That things beautiful

[forest knoll]

how tf do i assemble the backrest to the rest of the dxracer chair, like i have to make it not fall whrn its placed there and even if i do the screws are impossible to screw in because there is cloth in the way

[olive sinew]

I’d say like 150 or so? Not looking for anything more than 24” 1080p honestly

Anything for refresh rate though, idc if it’s a 60hz

I just want good color quality

One that doesn’t look like poo lol

[eager notch]

Return the DX racer and buy a proper office chair

[forest knoll]

nah

[hot tartan]

Good color quality is where it’s at

[olive sinew]

I have a big Acer T272 (or something like that) monitor too but it doesn’t fit on my desk and it can’t be mounted sadly

[summer folio]

Get a TN monitor

[olive sinew]

It’s color is pretty nice it just doesn’t fit because it’s that leaning stand design that Acer likes to use

[summer folio]

Colors should be very dull

almost grey

[olive sinew]

My other monitors colors are near perfect but to find one at the same $5 I got it for is impossible

[olive sinew]

I just want one where the yellows don’t look like poo green

I’ve messed with every setting and can’t get it right lol

[eager notch]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012015 if ya don't mind paying a bit more this is probably a very good monitor

[dusky osprey]

should be illegal to make a monitor without vesa compatability

[olive sinew]

That doesn’t look too bad at all

I’ll keep that in mind thanks

[summer folio]

Doesn't Monitors have internal PSU? What if the Gigabyte Monitor explodes?

[olive sinew]

I very much agree

I wish my big Acer would let me mount it

[summer folio]

You can always mount it?

[olive sinew]

It’s nearly the same touch screen one Linus did a video on a long time ago- mines just newer

[eager notch]

Have you ever heard of a monitor exploding?

[olive sinew]

Nah, no sort of mounting holes for it and the stand isn’t removable sadly

No vesa mounts I mean

Just the big elbow looking stand bc, well.. Acer

[eager notch]

Anything is removable with enough motivation and the right tools, ya just need a 🪚

[olive sinew]

Lmaoo

Maybe a drill too I guess

Never took apart a touch screen monitor, wouldn’t imagine it’s all that different from a regular one?

[native crag]

Damn it's hot outside

[olive sinew]

Not too bad here, temperature-wise, except for the 97% humidity

[eager notch]

No it's not

[native crag]

I was cleaning my compressor condenser coils outside to ensure it's as optimal as it can be (used coil cleaner).

It got me thinking. On the return line back to the compressor, it's still cold; which is normal. But would be interesting to run that through a heat exchanger first to cool a water loop. That loop would run back to a PC or rack enclosure. Similar to the idea Linus had with the pool, but I would actually get chilled water with the heat being blown off the condensor coil outside.

[olive sinew]

As someone who lived in Orlando for a year, why would you live in Florida?

[jaunty compass]

i'd rather be cold than hot, you can always put on more layers

you can only take off so many

[native crag]

Rather be hot than freezing

[jaunty compass]

as someone who had a high school classmate die of heatstroke, I don't agree

[native crag]

Stay hydrated

[jaunty compass]

the heat makes me nauseous

so i find heat

very unpleasant

I'm sorry but you're just wrong, you get exhausted way faster.

Florida has no geography, there's more elevation change in a 2mile radius of my house than in the entire state of Florida

[jaunty compass]

I am properly hydrated

I wouldn't call water my favorite drink, but It is the drink I have the most by far

[eager notch]

And hurricane prone

[uneven stirrup]

Hi

[native crag]

Problem with Florida is the shallow water table, too close to sea level. Louisiana, parts of it is below sea level.

[jaunty compass]

I live in the tornado place instead of the hurricane place

[native crag]

Nope

[eager notch]

Literally nothing happens here where I live past the occasional fire and blizzard

[jaunty compass]

we get tornadoes here
my nearest best buy was obliterated by a tornado in 2020

and they did not rebuild it

[eager notch]

Also what is happening in Hawaii is not representative of the average forest fire

[dusky jacinth]

I've lived here for several and this is the hottest year it's ever been for me.

[jaunty compass]

I wish i did

I'm gonna be honest, i really wish i did that would have been galaxy brain

they didn't rebuild that shit it was an insurance write off

[dusky jacinth]

This current summer even on the Panhandle of Florida is painful.

[jaunty compass]

I know

[native crag]

So here's the danger. Historically when you have a really hot year globally, that results in the following historic flooding. All that water vapor locked up in the sky has to come back down

[jaunty compass]

I really wish i had looted a gaming laptop while the place was destroyed

it was only an ef3 and the thing was obliterated

there were cops there the next morning but not that night

[native crag]

When there's a natural desaster, it's always the TVs that walk out of the stores. Like, really?!

[jaunty compass]

Gee I wonder why

[native crag]

I would be going for the water and TP

Not that I would engage in theft, but just sayin. Priorties man

[jaunty compass]

I would; that place was never opened and it became an insurance write off 🗿

I was able to find some photos of the damage to the mall

the mall would have been packed but basically nobody was there because of covid

[tired glade]

Why there were stuff inside closed mall?

[jaunty compass]

it wasn't closed

[indigo plume]

Welp I going back to secret lab chair lol

[jaunty compass]

but barely anyone was there because of covid, it was in 2020 in march

[indigo plume]

Embody wasn't it

[knotty pond]

Hello my friends

[tired glade]

Aren't those like 600$?

[jaunty compass]

not personally, no; I was with my sister since she lived nearby there at the time

[indigo plume]

Well I bought it like 4 years so idk

[jaunty compass]

I was making sure she was okay

[indigo plume]

Don't remember how much I paid for it

Every chair I try is made for midgets

So I just go back to secret lab every time

[jaunty compass]

no, they're pictures taken by the local media

[indigo plume]

Better than paying 2200 for embody

[jaunty compass]

not oklahoma but it was declared a major disaster

because of the pandemic, nobody died

there were 22 injuries and a ton of damage but nobody actually died

I sent pictures anyway
jonesboro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6C90yA0veU

[jaunty compass]

i found one of linus singing welcome to the internet

[elfin jetty]

Omg yes

[tired glade]

There are game chairs that cost 2200?

[indigo plume]

No

Embody was 2200 after tax

[tired glade]

I mean, get artopidic chair at that point

[jaunty compass]

i think the thumbnail of the fly me to the moon linus is the best one though

[tired glade]

And will last 20 years

[indigo plume]

Ain't that basiclly what ergonomic chairs are

Like Herman miller and stuff are

[tired glade]

Not release, artopidic is for broken spine, ergonomic is for holding spine in perfect condition

[indigo plume]

Probably still made for ppl who are short

[tired glade]

With ergonomic you don't need to hold your neck too

[tired glade]

How hights in that equation?

[cobalt hearth]

the things I will do to remove one coord from my laptop setup amazes me.

[indigo plume]

[tired glade]

Why 6.4?

[jaunty compass]

just found an amazing video

[indigo plume]

I'm 6'4 is what I'm saying and most chairs made forppl like 5'7

[jaunty compass]

this is the n64 portal guy

[indigo plume]

Companies pretend tall ppl don't exist

[knotty pond]

Good thing I’m 5 6

[jaunty compass]

they don't 🗿

[tired glade]

What's is 6.4 and 5.7?

[knotty pond]

I’m 14 to…

[jaunty compass]

heights

[indigo plume]

Cuz making shit for tall ppl isn't profitable

[jaunty compass]

i'm 5'8"

[indigo plume]

Cuz it's too small or a market

[tired glade]

That's just different business

[jaunty compass]

so quite literally the average height

[jaunty compass]

Ironic, isn't it

[tired glade]

Lol,bots selling nitro

[indigo plume]

Okay for Eu ppl 6'4 is like 194 CMS

[cobalt hearth]

can any smart people explain to me why a dp to usb c cable wont give display output to a usb type c 3.2 gen 2 connection

[full fossil]

Does the usb c port itself support DP out

[heady topaz]

If anyone sees this I need some help with my pc constantly crashing on Fortnite game, it’s not a hardware issue at all. I will give you a a shoutout in my YouTube channel (750 subs) if you help me trouble shoot my probelom, I’ve done endless fixes

I am currently factory resetting my pc a clean reinstall

[cobalt hearth]

I honestly dont know, whenever i plug it in it just says the USB capabilities are limited, so my best guess is no?

[full fossil]

Just check your device’s specs in the manual for it

[cobalt hearth]

its a dock

[full fossil]

I mean what you’re plugging the dock into

[cobalt hearth]

im plugging the dock into a thunderbolt four port, so yes it does support it, if I swap it and take the usb c out of the docks port and into the laptops it works perfectly fine

im assuming that that specific port doesnt work with dp, which is really not fun since I need one more video capable usb c/thunderbolt port

[full fossil]

Does the usb c port on the dock you’re using support DP passthrough?

[granite tinsel]

the cable's probably directional; do you have it going the right way?

[cobalt hearth]

The dock has two ports, one of them works with my other monitors dp to usb c, the other doesnt, so i believe one does and one doesnt.

the dock im using is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQM9ZH41?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

[cobalt hearth]

its a displayport to usb c, so the displayport side plugs into my monitor. so I think so? Im not entirely sure if that was what you were asking.

[granite tinsel]

do you know if the displayport side is downstream and the USB-C side is upstream?

[cobalt hearth]

Yes the displayport is downstream

[full fossil]

Looks like there’s only one TB4 output port on the dock
Usb 3.2 doesn’t always support DP passthrough unfortunately

[granite tinsel]

ya that could be it

[cobalt hearth]

_> is there a way I can get it to work without spending another 100-200$ on a dock

[full fossil]

Can’t use the HDMI ports?

[cobalt hearth]

well if i want my monitor to not be locked at 60hz, no

[granite tinsel]

man this is making me glad i did pick a macbook over an AMD laptop...

[cobalt hearth]

its an intel laptop 😦

[granite tinsel]

💀

[full fossil]

Why would it be locked to 60hz tho

[granite tinsel]

no thunderbolt on an intel laptop in 2023???

[cobalt hearth]

no clue, just is.

[cobalt hearth]

it has one thunderbolt port that powers my dock

[granite tinsel]

...oh right it's the dock's problem

[full fossil]

It has thunderbolt 4, they have a dock plugged into that and it has one TB4 port out

Idk why though, HDMI can handle 4k 120fps fairly easily

[cobalt hearth]

and afik you cant split a tb4

[cobalt hearth]

maybe i have a really shitty hdmi cable in, ill try swapping it rq

[full fossil]

Yea I have a few old cables that cap out at 1080 60

[granite tinsel]

i used to run both of my monitors off a single dock with my macbook but it caused audio noise and prevented me from running both monitors at full refresh rate, so i ended up splitting off one into a separate cable

[cobalt hearth]

how

i have been searching for a splitter that supports video for hours, litterally how

[granite tinsel]

macbook has more than one TB4 port so i can just plug the second monitor directly into that port 😔

[cobalt hearth]

_>

[granite tinsel]

ya not really relevant to your problem, sorry about that

[full fossil]

If your dock doesn’t have two ports that support DP out then it just doesn’t

[granite tinsel]

oh ya the dock i do use is an anker powerexpand; it has one downstream TB4 port and three upstream TB4 ports

i wouldn't recommend you get it now tho since

anker

[graceful burrow]

Ew anker

[granite tinsel]

ya i got it before the eufy shit

worse, my household uses eufy stuff, and it'd be too expensive for us to switch, so we're kinda just stuck with it and hoping that they patched their shitty security

[graceful burrow]

Rip

[elfin jetty]

knowing them, yea no

[cobalt hearth]

great news after randomly selecting one of my 12 different hdmi cables its now capped at 144hz

is there hdmi cables that support 1080 at 165 hz? thats the max my monitor is capable of

what version would I need (at least) for that

[keen trellis]

What server would you guys suggest for looking for Android Phones?

[granite tinsel]

maybe like tech chat, but here's fine too

my default recommendation to start from is probably a pixel

[full fossil]

Any 2.0 cable?

[graceful burrow]

The output port also has to be 2.0

[cobalt hearth]

i dont think i have those in my house lol

i have 12 different hdmi cables and i dont think one of them is 2.0

[granite tinsel]

budget of like $600-800: pixel 7 (actually it's on sale for $450 rn holy shit)
budget of $500 or less: pixel 7a
wanna pay more for style and a more close-to-stock software experience? nothing phone 2
uhhhhhhh what made samsungs good again

[dusky osprey]

Buy like a last year flagship of whatever Samsung had

[granite tinsel]

you'll lose software support faster

plus any new old stock now is going to suffer from having a battery that's sat around for a while

[dreamy rose]

a last years flagship isnt gonna ship with a dead battery.

[dusky osprey]

Bro last year not 5 years ago

[granite tinsel]

i'm not saying dead

[dreamy rose]

well the way you say it makes it sound like its gonna be nearly dead

[dusky osprey]

If you buy a refurbished one they probably replaced the battery as well

[granite tinsel]

ya if you buy refurbished sure

[dreamy rose]

that too

how much you willing to spend.

A good solid office chair the always going to be the answer

[indigo plume]

I mean considering I bought the embody

I'm willing to spend of worth money

If*

Returning it next week due to pain it giving me

[granite tinsel]

actually i should note... give it a bit of time; herman miller chairs can feel a little uncomfortable at first as they have to basically first undo whatever bad ergonomics your last chair had

if you've already had it for a few weeks tho then disregard what i just said

[fallow path]

Herman Miller tends to be a benchmark

I can say nothing staples has is going to be good lol

And honestly the IKEA options are not much better.

Am I being silly

[granite tinsel]

probably? i mean if you don't care about maximizing performance then i guess it's not a huge deal to not use a tower

[rose oasis]

Fan spinning? Have you tried repasting?

How long ago did you buy it?

[sacred fossil]

It stays sustained at high temps and yes fans spin and are quite loud. I bought it in late March and I have not tried to repast as I don’t want to void the warranty but if it comes down to it I will

[near nymph]

What case do you have it in?

[near nymph]

Repasting does not void the warranty. There are laws in place in the USA making the void warranty stickers basically illegal.

They can only void the warranty if they can prove you damaged it

[sacred fossil]

Interesting. At this point I really just want my money back to swap for a 4090

[near nymph]

What case do you have it in?

Could it just not be getting enough airflow? In which case a 4090 wouldn't be any help either

[sacred fossil]

4000D airflow. It is very tight as I have an AIO for my cpu but I was running it with the side panel off. I was planning to purchase a larger case like the o11 but it seems to still overheat

[near nymph]

Same results with side panel off?

[sacred fossil]

Yes, even in an open air test bench I threw together with extra parts. I guess I will repaste it now after I do a little more research to the message you sent

Intel pentium

[next pollen]

one that is better than a i-5 2400

[full fossil]

lol, all modern intel cpus

[next pollen]

yea but that only uses up to 95 watts

cuz if it uses more than that, my psu may give up lol

im trying to upgrade my pc cpu but powersupply is a 240 Watt psu

and my gpu uses 90 watts, and in total my pc components use 210 watts

so im looking for a cpu that uses up to 95 watts so i can keep the system at that 210 watts

[eager notch]

Upgrade your PSU to one that won't destroy your computer when it inevitably blows up

[rugged kettle]

Why are you using such a low-watt psu?

[next pollen]

Cant

[eager notch]

If you can upgrade your CPU, you can spend half that much on a power supply that isn't going to blow up your computer

[next pollen]

not a money issue

its a connections and sockets issue

i'll send picture of computer

no, in 2018

[near nymph]

Oh. Eh

Sounds like it's time for a new router

[rapid jackal]

and the router worked just fine up to a few months ago when the speeds went to 200...

and it says it supports gigabit.

[near nymph]

Check cable? I dunno maybe a router configuration setting?

[rapid jackal]

everything I can find says it should be working.

might try a factory reset on the router.

[tardy terrace]

"supports gigabit" does not mean that it is capable of sustaining said speeds at a constant

It should mean that, but companies are scummy.

[rapid jackal]

and Netgear's no help cause they want money $49 for one month of support or $99 for 12 months.

[near nymph]

Don't buy Netgear anymore

[rapid jackal]

Don't plan to.

[near nymph]

If they are gonna act like cheap Chinese junk then just buy cheap Chinese junk

TP Link seems to have some nice Wifi 6 routers

[rapid jackal]

[rapid jackal]

hmm...will be something to think about...

[near nymph]

People seem to like it and saying they are getting full speeds

[near nymph]

Hey. ISPs are pushing faster and faster speeds hoping people don't use it. Since only nerds usually have equipment for it

[safe peak]

did linus ever talk about reaction content on wan show?

[near nymph]

I think he said it was stupid

[rapid jackal]

and I agree.

[near nymph]

I should probably get a new router... I'm using a Huawei router. It's kinda ass

Well the signal doesn't get to my basement that well

[cerulean crane]

Does anyone know where I can post my laptop for sale?

People know some places better than others. So I thought I’d ask

For example jawa

[tardy terrace]

I was bein' silly with that initial response

[near nymph]

The dark web obviously. But yeah Facebook marketplace is usually good

[cerulean crane]

[near nymph]

No. You never told us the details of the laptop and the condition

Check the tech chat

[tribal topaz]

Because 3nm technology is new, the A17 chip is expensive to manufacture, which means it will only be available in the ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌ Max. The standard iPhone 15 models will adopt the A16 chip, which is currently limited to the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max.

[tribal topaz]

do u guys think the performance outweighs the cost ?

[fierce moth]

Pretty much any mid range to flagship phone from the past 2-3 years is sufficient for daily use

And not a lot of phone apps will sufficiently utilise that extra performance in day to day use

[vapid smelt]

I would just care about power/battery life like zekrom said phones are plenty fast as is

[tribal topaz]

apple did mention that would focus on battery this time

[dreamy rose]

anyone with a brain reaches the same conclusion: In rare cases it helps channels, most cases is profiting off of the work of others.

[neon mesa]

What phone would you all recommend? I'm looking at used S20s for $220 ish.

Since half of my S8+ touch screen went kapoot

It had a good run

[dreamy rose]

phones dont need to be as good a Ryzen 9 laptop chips. they really just need to focus on not eating your battery. or being able to function for at least a day on 4000 mAh batteries.

[neon mesa]

Literally using my galaxy watch to control a cursor to use my phone rn lmao

[dreamy rose]

sounds like a plan, but don't stick exclusively to Samsung.

[neon mesa]

Either samsung or google, other ones meh.

Especially not iPhones, fuck iOS

[dreamy rose]

Xiaomi and Motorolla have had some alright budget devices when id looked at them.

[neon mesa]

I like Samsung mainly because i used this S8+ for soo long
