[harsh quartz]

Yes but I deserve it, they don’t

[vapid cypress]

They are responsible for their actions

[tired glade]

Not just losing your future for imaginary cool points, but also paying for it, that's a combo

[low rain]

How do you steal a fucking sink

[vapid cypress]

And I hate them

[harsh quartz]

They likely got addicted at a young age and were never given a. Good way to get off of them

Hating the people only makes the addictions worse

[vapid cypress]

I still hate them

Don't wanna be near them

[merry gull]

Ask the person who stole it
there's seriously 2 pipes sticking out of the wall

[harsh quartz]

Damn, let that sink in

[vapid smelt]

[harsh quartz]

I’m just imagining someone stuffing it under their jacket and hefting it out like a giant can of tuna now

[merry gull]

LMAO
I think they had a big ass backpack

2 years ago some stole a, get ready for it

||a whole promethean board||

How the FUCK did they get it off the wall, hide it and walk out of school with it

[harsh quartz]

We didn’t have individual sinks at our high school, we had a semi-circle big tub lookin thing that was operated by one giant foot pedal that made either the whole sink turn on or the whole thing turn off

[vapid cypress]

Bro lived in the 80s

[harsh quartz]

No but the school was built well before then

[vapid cypress]

Bro needs to pedal water

💀

[harsh quartz]

Used to be two schools then they built a third building to connect them and made it one big school

[vapid cypress]

Weird

[indigo plume]

My PC dead

[harsh quartz]

Not really, our schools have anywhere between 1200-1300 students in them at a time, they needed bigger schools

[vapid cypress]

Do you live in the UK or something

[harsh quartz]

No

[harsh quartz]

The anime killed it

[shadow hazel]

1. create ram disk
2. set ram disk as hibernate partition
3. enter hibernate mode
4. ?

[merry gull]

wouldn't that just defeat the purpose of hibernation

[indigo plume]

Got new cpu and PC die

Gg

[vapid smelt]

step 4 give me a 4090

[vapid smelt]

did you not have the newest mbo bios?

[indigo plume]

Idk

The MOBO isnt that old

Got in like March

[graceful burrow]

What model

[indigo plume]

B650 msi pro

[graceful burrow]

Shoulda updated the bios tbh

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiTngvvD5dI so was the melting cpus

[indigo plume]

Well I have my friend looking at it

Since he's more techy than me

[polar fern]

I’d floatplane but

[solar night]

😦 Email support maybe?

[polar fern]

Unfortunately, I have a disability income which is restricted to certain types of payment methods and it’s just not compatible with a bunch of different things. I am hoping that in a few months that will change, however

[undone drift]

the fp exclusive is very good

[polar fern]

New computer without front panel on

I actually ended up turning off all of the RGB stuff 🤣

[solar night]

Check your DMs

[polar fern]

I also still need to get a 120 mm exhaust fan for the back of the case, and possibly one next to psu for more fresh air to gpu

Oki

[summer folio]

RGB bad

[polar fern]

Honestly, because the computer points at the bed in my girlfriend’s bedroom, it’s best that if it’s off anyway.

Lenovo & Mac mini still small enough to cart around. This thing stays at her place because it weighs 50 lbs.

Unexpected kindness is one of the best things ever.

[undone drift]

i just bought a 5000rpm fan and 25ft of pipe to try to pull the hot air from the pcs outside like Alexis computer does anyone think itl work

[fossil frost]

no, it wont have enough static pressure

[summer folio]

Btw, is your nickname:

1. Trans IT Biker
2. Trans it biker
3. transit biker
   

[polar fern]

oh, and some of you have been suggesting for me to use a Ryzen 7 5700x instead of the G. Looking into possible purchase options. The G is much more affordable for my financial situation, so it’s going to be tricky budgeting for the x. Thankfully, I already have the one processor so it’s not like I am going without in the meantime.

@summer folio find the capital letters

[undone drift]

i like your pfp

[polar fern]

👍

[soft swan]

Just get a 5600 then

[polar fern]

I should probably also get the two additional fans first if I am going to figure out budget for the 5700x because gpu gonna be werkin

[half summit]

What do you guys think of the new linus video?

[polar fern]

Did not watch it yet

[indigo plume]

So apparently when I installed my new cpu I bent the pins on the mother board

[polar fern]

Trying to figure out what tea I’m having with my dessert

[indigo plume]

I can never do things right

[polar fern]

@indigo plume fffuuuuu

[indigo plume]

This is why I don't build l my self

[lilac bear]

who

[indigo plume]

I always mess up somehow

[polar fern]

That is the most frustrating and crestfallen feeling anyone can have honestly.

[half summit]

My condolences

I have never taken off a cpu

[indigo plume]

Also water cooling is a pain in the ass

To install

I'm going air cooling next time

This Corsair 150i or whatever install process annoyed me

[polar fern]

when I was repairing the display power cable on my old old iBook, I accidentally pulled out the header on the board for the trackpad and trackpad button. I don’t think it was 100% my fault, however, because it had been worked on under warranty multiple times and I think one of the warranty technicians at Foxconn contractors may have bumped it or strained it

[undone drift]

I like bread

[polar fern]

If you have the iFixit kit with the two plastic spudgers, you might be able to bend the pins back into place.

[undone drift]

does anyone remember Linus saying they are making the ifixit style driver with storage?

[polar fern]

Definitely risky, but still something that could save the day

[indigo plume]

Well my mother board was already in rough shape so I getting new one

[polar fern]

That sucks.

[indigo plume]

Yeah

But it is what it is

Nothing I can do about it now

I just don't know how I bent the pins since I matched the triangle and stuff

Guess it was shifted off center or something

[polar fern]

One time I was trying to fix someone’s computer and I ended up pulling the sata cables down vs out because for some reason they had the cables zip tied to the part of the case that you opened. The boot drive was then borked & I had to contact the manufacturer to have the whole unit replaced and because of back orders I ended up giving the client a brand-new computer that was actually more capable.

[jagged birch]

i have also build my own pc

with the ltt scrouwdriver

[polar fern]

I told them that there was a problem with that particular model, and the manufacturer upgraded them, leaving out any of the painful details 🤣🫠

I’m not sure who zip ties and cable managers like that, but clearly was never meant to be open by a person?

🫠

[jagged birch]

[polar fern]

Indeed.

[jagged birch]

i hope it still works

that you can clone the drive

[polar fern]

Oh that whole thing was replaced awhile ago.

[shrewd sparrow]

Open the ssd and bend it back

It will work

[polar fern]

It’s already long gone

[shrewd sparrow]

Ah fair

[polar fern]

Just a reminder to people that servicing or building a computer is not without risks and you really need to know not just what you are doing, but you also need to know how ridiculous human beings can be

I have never had a sata or ide cable zip tied to the panel that you open to service the computer before or since.

[jagged birch]

i had almost droped my msi rtx 4080 suprim X when i build my new pc

[polar fern]

And it was zip tied to an internal structure that you can’t see from the outside of the case

[undone drift]

i mistyped its 5000 not 500

[fossil frost]

Still probably has no static pressure

[vapid zephyr]

That's why when you build your pc, you put something like a thick blanket or mat on the floor if you're unsure

[polar fern]

100%

[vapid zephyr]

It's not necessary to be Linus, after all

[polar fern]

I always put any machine I’m working on on top of an extremely thick towel has enough space on it to hold the internal components as well

[median apex]

I’ve always built or upgraded my PC’s on the carpet because I don’t have much table space. Never had an issue

[jagged birch]

yea he dropt more hardware that thare are alot of complations online of it

[vapid zephyr]

Had someone that dropped his 13900K on the floor, the guy had a panic attack. Luckily you can basically play football with LGA CPUs if you really wanted to

[polar fern]

Here is me building my new computer on said towel

[jagged birch]

nice motherbord

[harsh quartz]

I do the towel thing so that I don’t lose screws :p

[vapid zephyr]

Ye, that's a taichi

Which seems overkill for a CPU that has a stock cooler on it

[median idol]

My younger brother has that borad

[vapid zephyr]

Ironically, the stock cooler doesn't look out of place on that taichi lmao

[harsh quartz]

Same with 4 sticks of ram

[polar fern]

If you look at the top, the fans are in two different directions and I did not notice until just before I put everything else together

[vapid zephyr]

Happens

One of my employees did the same thing in an extremely tight ITX case, had to disassemble the whole thing again

Was fun watching him suffer

[polar fern]

The wraith spire is rated for 95 watts tdp. The processor is 65 watts tdp. It never goes above 75°C even at full utilisation.

It’s literally more cooler than the processor will ever possibly need

[flat parcel]

I swear I remember seeing someone going overboard with their case fans and also having the fan directions wrong on reddit like two weeks ago

[polar fern]

I also picked the wraith spire to have a bit of wiggle room for summertime when it gets super hot

[vapid zephyr]

Happens, but you can't really judge immediately judge somebody's fan orientation anymore since there's reverse fans now

[flat parcel]

Yeah, not judging

Happens for sure

[jagged birch]

was it smart of me to use ddr4 32GB 3200MHz with the i7 13700k and 4080

[sonic spruce]

is there a channel where i can pay for help?

[soft swan]

No

[sonic spruce]

why not ddr5?

[soft swan]

But it’s not awful

[polar fern]

The other night it got below 50°F outside for the first time since spring and my girlfriend has pets in that room which need at least 72°F or they can die so I turned on the new computer folding at home and it brought up the temperature in the room by about 5°F in about 25 minutes. 🤣

[sonic spruce]

i got 16gbs at 5600mhz + i7-12700k + z690 mobo for $350 at microcenter

[polar fern]

The room was about 68°, which is not okay.

[jagged birch]

ddr5 was a bit to expensif for me and i wanted rgb

[polar fern]

we have to get them heating pads for the winter because it will definitely get below 68 on the coldest days

[jagged birch]

[sonic spruce]

my friend got ryzen 7 7700x + ddr5 6000mhz + B650 mobo for $400

[flat parcel]

What kind of pets?

[sonic spruce]

I spent at extra $10 for the same thing as him lol

[vapid zephyr]

Not at all, no

[median idol]

Micro Center is a god send

[vapid zephyr]

Yes it is

[soft swan]

The difference is small

[sonic spruce]

rgb cpu cooler and case, there you go

[vapid zephyr]

No, the difference is massive on 13th gen lmfao

[sonic spruce]

yes, its only a 2 hour drive away tho

[soft swan]

I mean plenty of people used ddr4 on the 12900k

[soft swan]

I meant price diff

[polar fern]

my only real concern with the Ryzen 7 5700 X is it has a slightly lower max tjunction rating.

[jagged birch]

i got the gskill tridant Z rgm ram

[vapid zephyr]

Yes, because it didn't make much of a difference for 12th gen, it does make a very noticable difference in 13th gen

[polar fern]

@flat parcel i’m sorry I can’t share that information because it is personally identifiable

[jagged birch]

4 stick of tham

[soft swan]

People were still saying 12700k and above, ddr5

but like now it doesn’t matter

[flat parcel]

Cool. no worries

[jagged birch]

i am interestid in also the 14 gen of intel

[soft swan]

The kind of animals you have is personally identifiable ? 💀😭

[jagged birch]

if it stays 1700 socket

[flat parcel]

Lol

[polar fern]

Perhaps if the political climate in this country was a tad different, I would be more comfortable sharing, but alas.

[mint yacht]

It is all but confirmed that 14th will be on 1700

[soft swan]

Dw there’s tons of people with cats and dogs in the world

[soft swan]

If you have 13th gen, no point

[flat parcel]

I'm not even in America. But you using farenheit is probably more self identifiable than anything else atp

[warm dust]

This saying always confuses me

[mint yacht]

It is also almost entirely confirmed that 14th gen and 13th gen are identical other than clockspeed lol

[median idol]

Z790 is doing some refreshing for 14th gen

[jagged birch]

ooh noice

[polar fern]

@soft swan my girlfriend is a public facing figure, and if I share information that she has shared people can identify both of us and our location and I’m not going to do that

[soft swan]

Ooh I didn’t know that, my fault

[mint yacht]

All but confirmed
It's like... everything has happened to point in the right direction, except for an actual confirmation

[polar fern]

All good

[warm dust]

All but confirmed makes me want to think it's dead, cancelled, done and a hoax over it being true

[vapid zephyr]

14th gen is confirmed to be on LGA 1700 and it is confirmed to release this december

[soft swan]

It’s meant to be like a 5% difference

[vapid zephyr]

Yes, that was fairly nonsensical, it barely made a difference

[warm dust]

It just trips me up sometimes

[jagged birch]

yippee

[polar fern]

14th gen will also require a nuclear operators license for the small nuclear reactor required to power the damn thing I bet.

[vapid zephyr]

On 13th gen it's easily 10%, sometimes 20

[polar fern]

And also, you have to build a giant evaporative cooler, the size of a small town to cool the thing

[soft swan]

Yea and ddr5 was on the expensive side that time

[vapid zephyr]

Anyway, you're missing out on a lot of performance with DDR4 on that 13700K

[flat parcel]

is it still not?

i thought it was

[vapid zephyr]

Irrelevant, we're living in the present and it's cheap now

[flat parcel]

oh damn

[vapid zephyr]

No. A decent DDR5 kit is like $90

[soft swan]

No

[polar fern]

I don’t see DDR5 becoming fully mainstream until a few years from now.

Maybe 2026 or so

[vapid zephyr]

Yeah, seems realistic

[soft swan]

I’m talking about like early 2022, that’s when it was expensive

[soft swan]

And you had like 5600mhz being the high end

[jagged birch]

i still run windows 10

[flat parcel]

a lot of things were expenisve early 2022 I feel like

makes sense why it's cheaper now

[vapid zephyr]

That was the time when people scalped literally anything related to computer parts, so yeah

[soft swan]

I mean ddr5 was still brand new, and you had some stability issues at the time

You had good cpus but overpriced gpus

[polar fern]

Between the issues with Covid closures of factories and stuff and the shipping container debacle and the truck issues going on primarily in North America a lot of hardware was either hard to come by or very expensive 2021 into mid 2022.

[flat parcel]

yeah i remember gpu prices being crazy

[flat parcel]

yeah the chip shortage contributed heavily as well

which was mostly due to covid then again

[soft swan]

Everything except gpus and ddr5 was pretty normal ish if we’re talking pc parts

[vapid zephyr]

I remember when people accepted that the shortage shit was gonna continue until 2024 lmfao

[polar fern]

I have heard from some people that they still have Christmas stuff from 2020 & 2021 stowed in various warehouses because of all of the bottlenecks in the logistics chain. 🫠

[soft swan]

It wasn’t that bad

Like intel CPU’s were cheap at the time

[polar fern]

I do believe the plan was to release that inventory into the main supply, starting either this or next month

[soft swan]

But ryzen were expensive

[polar fern]

I’m talking about regular consumer junk, not just computer hardware components

[vapid zephyr]

Ryzen was always kinda expensive, so that's irrelevant

[flat parcel]

weren't there also concerns about how the used gpus flooding the second hand market after a lot of crypto mining industries crashed? I think that might have affected the price of brand new gpus as well

[polar fern]

Yes

[soft swan]

I thought they were the budget option, before at least, but a 300 dollar ryzen 5 was pretty out there

[polar fern]

However, a lot of those used graphics cards are in pretty bad shape.

[flat parcel]

yeah i remember seeing clips of some random ass bloke washing a gpu rack

[polar fern]

some of the ccx miners did not maintain the hardware properly, so they get clogged with dust and they had fan failures and probably overheating too. Buyer beware with anything possible used for mining.

[vapid zephyr]

They were when Zen came out because that gen was dogshit. The 2600X was already $230, the 3600X $250 and the 5600X $300

Ah, the 1600X was also $250, how surprising

[manic torrent]

"budget" is not the same as value for money

[polar fern]

Mhm

[vapid zephyr]

Ayo, can you lift your curse for me

[polar fern]

Low-cost does not mean quality for cost.

[vapid zephyr]

On every page I go, I get recommended shit for the Australian market, I get Australian YouTube ads, I get Australian and NZ videos recommended, AliExpress recommends me items in Australian Dollars

What the fuck is going on Bob

[polar fern]

Quality for low cost is a rarity anymore

[vapid zephyr]

And usually Intel wins in that regard, yes

AMD blew their chance by keeping the 7500F exclusive to some bullshit market

[polar fern]

@vapid zephyr https://youtu.be/XfR9iY5y94s?si=h2ZAk2uY4KJTDilR

[vapid zephyr]

I'm not old enough to understand this, I'm afraid

The only thing I understand immediately by the thumbnail is that the people that made the music video for this must've had the time of their life

[sterile patrol]

that computer repair shop was funny as fuck

[polar fern]

I actually prefer this song: https://youtu.be/RY7S6EgSlCI?si=AkiY1vgqqEmA8vtj

[sterile patrol]

max actal value of all the stuff in there was like $2k tops

Maybe like 5

[polar fern]

I should watch that video now

[sterile patrol]

Linus basically buys junk it’s funny

[soft swan]

Yea but previous gen ryzen were kind of a good deal when 5000 launched

[vapid zephyr]

Who cares if they were, they were last gen

[soft swan]

Not that bad to get a 3700x for a lot cheaper than a 5600x

[manic torrent]

incorrect IP assignment to location my maxmind

[vapid zephyr]

I literally did nothing

[manic torrent]

that's the beauty of it, it has nothing to do with you 😄

[vapid zephyr]

I guess I'll embrace being Aussie then

Only thing that's missing is that Teamspeak shows my country code as Australian

[manic torrent]

https://www.maxmind.com/en/locate-my-ip-address

[sonic spruce]

Has to be in C++, you will be given tools

And pre-existing code

[manic torrent]

[low rain]

Finally switching to ios 17

[polar fern]

I just updated myself.

I am testing the text to speech feature right now, which with iOS 16 went from pretty good in iOS 15 to total garbage

It actually works

I am blown away

[low rain]

My dad went to help my sister move into her dorm and I js checked his location, hes at a pizzeria so hopefully he brings some home cause some pizza would hit rn

[polar fern]

Speech to text with iOS 16 was a constant never-ending headache of weird last second changes in the text and wording and constant strange punctuation where it shouldn’t be.

Pizza is the best bread.

Pizza doesn’t care if you have pineapple or not

[sudden bear]

As an Australian I have been summoned

Why is she holding there baby like that

[polar fern]

No clue.

I don’t get outraged at people doing things who I don’t know, and have no viable way of correcting their immoral unethical or inappropriate behaviour.

[edgy plover]

question for anyone that streams. so i had this clip from stream and i got it through making a highlight (i think that’s why it’s called) but when i downloaded and watched it the video was so pixely and blurry so i was wondering if there was settings i have to fix or what

i stream at 5500 bitrate is that too low?

Anyone able to help me I have a b550 a pro motherboard used dragon centre to update it turns out you shouldn’t now it just loops repair mode whenever I turn on pc

[manic torrent]

because ease of development, testing, distribution, support, security, etc, etc,etc.

[full fossil]

Imagine trusting google with any level of privacy

[restive lion]

at least steam isnt electron

electron apps are the worst
- sent from discord the electron app

[manic torrent]

.... that's not what this is at all, and you have no idea what you're talking about. Using a browser framework to run your app is not the same.

If you can help me out honestly be much appreciated or if u know someone who can

Enter Safe Mode.
Use System Restore.

[full fossil]

i need them for disassembling my 360 hard drive to put a 1tb drive in

[eager notch]

Linus, you are very mistaken, I ain't buying 300 earbuds because im gonna eventually lose one,

[heady flicker]

woah

that looks more realistic

[eager notch]

I mean im no audiophile, but these 25 buck jlab ones sound just fine to me

[rugged kettle]

Why do you have 42 items in your cart

[eager notch]

Well at one point I was considering buying totes to move and I never removed the items from my cart because I hardly ever shop online at Walmart

Wow, I really just put my address out there

[rugged kettle]

Yup haha

[eager notch]

Im an idiot

[rugged kettle]

Also your name in the first screenshot

I thought maybe you were buying the earbuds in bulk 😆

[eager notch]

Jebus christ

[pliant karma]

lol yea nah. I spent little on my galaxy buds 2s haha

but they've been solid for the past few months

[eager notch]

Generally im pretty good about remembering to censor stuff but today definitely wasn't that.

[rugged kettle]

Ehh it was only your first name. Also your street address is pretty common

It's like living in Springfield

[rugged kettle]

They really do, my wired sony earbuds I bought for like $12 are the best earbuds I've ever owned, and I have a pair of Sennheisers

[polar fern]

I only buy usb B mini cables in bulk

[rugged kettle]

Wow

...did you forget to censor something again? Lol

[eager notch]

I've had enough of my shit leaked that everything that can be 2fa is, this is all the attempts to get into my main email in the past 12 hours.

I counted and there have been 41 attempts in the past 24 hours

[eager notch]

Nope, I just thought the screenshot was too long

[teal estuary]

your password shit or something?

[graceful burrow]

Nothin compared to my old outlook account, which would get 1.2k attempts a day

They never got in

[polar fern]

The king of connectors

[graceful burrow]

You would think that

[teal estuary]

wanna see my UFW block messages?

[eager notch]

Yeah, it has some stupid 25 character password and 2fa so everything is unsuccessful

[teal estuary]

they just kinda roll through from SSH attempts

[graceful burrow]

Not particularly but I can't stop you

[gilded quest]

Mini B is ass

[eager notch]

Nah, micro-b was even worse than mini b

[polar fern]

Obviously, I’m joking

[gilded quest]

Micro B at least held in place

[polar fern]

The funny part is that micro B can plug into mini B

[gilded quest]

Impossible to tell with you since you have so many bad takes

[teal estuary]

UFW: Uncomplicated FireWall, this is it blocking shit on the one server i have thats exposed to the internet

[eager notch]

USB 3 micro b was even worse than micro b

[polar fern]

Are they really bad though? 😉

[teal estuary]

im not actually going to show it because it has IPs in it, but its a few seconds between them usually

[heady flicker]

makes me think I should add 2fa to everything

[polar fern]

You definitely should

[gilded quest]

I have no desire to go back to micro B but I'd take it over mini b

[teal estuary]

if 2fa is an option, you should be using it

The only thing that ever got past my account security was that massive data breach back in the early 20 teens when AOL and yahoo had most of their user data stolen. I don’t really count that though because that was not through my accounts

sure thing, we are just going to text you an authentication code to verify that its really you
my phone, isn't working

[heady flicker]

[teal estuary]

what about RCS?

[eager notch]

My phone provider has no support over the phone, only over Twitter DMs, reddit DMs, Facebook messenger, and their website chat

[teal estuary]

im sorry, what?

[polar fern]

I have long Covid and have been having a bit of shortness of breath over the last day or so, so I’m going to head out for now

[eager notch]

Yep.

It's cheap though and it's on Verizon so it's what I use

[teal estuary]

ahh, that explains it

[eager notch]

I had 2 phones with unlimited data for 25 bucks a month each including unlimited hotspot

It's called visible

[teal estuary]

ahh, yea, thats pretty nice

im not paying my phone bill though, so, dont really care

whats their abuse threashold? because im one of those people that will take unlimited to mean exactly that

[eager notch]

I live with my parents because my area is too expensive to live in by myself so one of the things I pay for is my phones

As far as I've seen, no one has actually been booted for using hundreds of gigs of hotspot data.

The caveat is the hotspot is throttled to 5 Mbps so you can really only do like 1 1080p video stream at a time

[teal estuary]

hundreds of gb?

oh you sweet summer child i would use a few TB

[eager notch]

In theory the most you could hotspot at 5 Mbps is 1600 gigs in a month even hitting it 100% 24 hours a day

[teal estuary]

oh is it limited to 5mbps?

i can easily hold that, but thats pretty slow

What’s better dvi-d to vga or dvi-d to DisplayPort?

[rugged kettle]

DVI to DP

[gilded quest]

Nothing with VGA is better in 2023

[rugged kettle]

^ this

[olive stump]

VGA was bad back in 2013

[sonic spruce]

Thx

[sonic spruce]

Well my current 2nd monitor has DisplayPort and vga which is why I’m asking

My main one for now, has hdmi, dvi-d and vga

And the tv I’m using has hdmi, vga, component, composite, s-video and rf

So if I do dvi-d to DisplayPort, can I still get 75hz?

[rugged kettle]

VGA is Analog, DP is Digital and so will give a much better picture. Going from DVI to VGA will just lower the quality

Not sure about the Hz

[sonic spruce]

True

And can I put a pcie 2.0 x8 or 2.0x16 card in my z690 mobo or no?

make sure your wire length is roughly 10cm

or under

this is genuinely the easiest way kek

[fierce moth]

Okay

You using an original pico?

[graceful burrow]

ye

[fierce moth]

Wires should be shorter than 4 inches

So check wire length

Or use new wires

[graceful burrow]

i got a lot of experience with 4 inches

[fierce moth]

Show me your soldered points on your pico

[graceful burrow]

nah tonight im taking this w

ill remod another night

im just really really glad i didnt kill it

[fierce moth]

Aight

[graceful burrow]

actually fuck it im gonna do it
i know the joins on the pico are good, test with mulimeter

[fierce moth]

Are you using differently coloured wires?

That helps me when I mod cubes

im quadruple checking

designed and printed a GPU stand for my case/gpu.. printed in PLA because "it cant get above 50-60 degrees inside the case, the components might, but the case temp its self, surely not"... turns out i forgot 1 thing... it was clipped to the GPU heatsink to prop the gpu up, the gpu heatsink certainly does get above 60c, and softens the PLA and causes it to just flop and not support shit anymore 😄

gonna reprint the same thing in PETG now 😄

[full fossil]

hello !!!!

[spare lintel]

i am quite annoyed to here everywhere "dont buy amd gpus cause of drivers issues", yet there is no real drivers issues since adrenalin drivers rework (rewritten dx11 game code).

but people, and especially reviewers are completely silent on nvidia years existing driver overhead issues which makes your performance hurt if you dont use best CPU on the market

[full fossil]

is there a channel here for people selling their parts

[graceful burrow]

no we cant sell here

[full fossil]

alr

[spare lintel]

and since all reviews are done high highest CPUs on market, this issue is not shown on actual review of mid tier GPUs/CPUs combos which actually is majority of userbase.

[manic torrent]

If you listen to hearsay, it's on you

[spare lintel]

even as example if you got 5600x/12600k cpu, and something like 4060ti/7700xt (or previous gen series card alternatives), nvidia drivers overhead issue make AMD cards like 15-20% more faster. yet no one besides hardware unboxed mentioning couple times are talking about it

i would love to see more reviewers pressure on nvidia actually to fix this bug. cause you can't have both ways.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLEIJhunaW8

this is original Hardware unboxed video in depth analysing it. besides this (and new video like few weeks ago) i dont see anyone actually really mentioning it.

this was the stuff i hoped LTT's new lab would cover. But it seems it wont be done any time soon...

[full fossil]

whats happening

[fierce moth]

@graceful burrow I may be helping webhdx with testing a ethernet breakout board for the gc

[fossil frost]

nvidia have no incentive to fix anything for you or any other consumer, because their money is entirely in the data centre, so that bug is only going to get fixed if it happens to accidentally make it on a list when other high priority stuff has all been fixed

[manic torrent]

ehhhhhhh, that's a fairly specific limitation. I mean, it's not NOTHING, but it's hardly the end of the world. You really have to have a mismatch of hardware

[graceful burrow]

That's fuckin sick
This gc is formally modded
Swapped out the pico entirely to make sure
Glad it's over cause the fumes were gettin to me bad

Even in a ventilated room

[fierce moth]

the lead toughens you up lmao

[graceful burrow]

[fierce moth]

my dad calls lead free solder "vegan solder"

[graceful burrow]

By choice
Unleaded solder melts like shit it's such a bitch to work with

[fierce moth]

yeah

you have to use so much heat

which is shit for the component

[fast nacelle]

Hello guys i just built my new PC and i got Windows 11 Pro on it ( not licensed ) and was wondering will i be able to upgrade from windows 10 pro to windows 11 pro by just logging into microsoft account

[manic torrent]

[vernal heath]

Can you?

[fast nacelle]

Goodd, thank you. ❤️

[manic torrent]

I mean, lead exposure is really bad, but... yeah no lead makes solder very hard to use.

[fierce moth]

i just dont breathe it in

i wait till it clears

[spare lintel]

its nothing. you literally losing 1 tier worth of performance. and its not specific limitation. it probably the wast majority. most people have older/new mid range CPUs. Not the highest tier CPUs which means this is quite a problem, but reviewers uses always the most powerful CPU which eliminates this issue and doesnt show the reality.

majority of people has CPUs of the range of performance between 10600k and 5600x. and this specifically impacts these people. not high end.

[fierce moth]

my soldering equipment aint nothin fancy

but it gets the job done

[spare lintel]

of course nvidia wont bother fix it unless there is need to do so. but its more about not having double standards when reviewer occasionally says "amd sometimes has drivers issues" when nvidia is no better and infact has actual issue which effects direct performance.

amd bugs are often more related to chipset bugs where multiple monitors for some reason didnt work properly

it is just that if reviewer mentions that amd had bugs in past, i think they also need to tell the nvidia driver overhead bug as well which is already existing for like 4 years.

[fierce moth]

i use, leaded solder, flux pen, desoldering braid and a temperature controlled iron

i have to get a new desoldering pump tho as my old one broke

i also kinda want a hot air station

for SMD rework

[manic torrent]

The highest tier? I have a 5700x.

Very far from the highest tier.

[graceful burrow]

@fierce moth buttoned it up, still works, did a lap of f-zero gx that i loaded onto it, no real issues other than it booting into PAL mode which i think i can change, gotta explore the settings more later

[graceful burrow]

it is a miracle the pads didnt rip

i did not have the right tip for that job lmao

[fierce moth]

Personally I just bridge the two points with solder

[graceful burrow]

i didnt have enough heat going into it to melt both at once

but i got it

Clean rip is the software you need

Runs on both wii and gamecube

[polar fern]

My girlfriend has a Wii first gen & we hadn’t play games on it because her manchild ex husband took the other remote

Recently discovered it has GameCube controller ports.

I have 5 GameCube controllers.

Gonna be fun. 🙂

Bought an RF switch for my N64, so no issues there.

[graceful burrow]

You still need the wiimote

[vapid zephyr]

Of all the things he took the fucking remote? xD

[graceful burrow]

You can't control the wii menu with a gc controller unless it's modded to do so

[vapid zephyr]

I guess that shit happens when an ex doesn't realise he's entitled to half the assets and just throws a temper tantrum

[polar fern]

Yeah he took the second wiimote

She has the one & the accessories

👀

Yeah yeah I know the cables. It’s facing a wall so I dun care

[vapid zephyr]

I don't judge, I'm doing the exact same thing with my htpc

[polar fern]

[loud wren]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-affirms-native-resolutio-gaming-thing-of-past-dlss-here-to-stay

I do like Nvidia for their Gpus

But I also do hate Nvidia for things like this

[polar fern]

It’s not “ai” guise, it’s just math.

Lemme be more specific. Predictive pixel mapping tied to known assets is not “ai”

And mayyybe folks don’t want upscaling

[loud wren]

No issues with Downscaling from a higher Res or Native, but Upscaling, or even Frame Generation.. it is cool and all but nothing I would be proud of to announce "Heyy our game is playable on all GPU's Using DLSS Or FG"

[polar fern]

It’s hilarious to me that people are using the term “ai”. Folks have been using this term since the 1980’s & the beginnings of computer generated predictive modelling.

Industry buzzwords do get recycled

My question is that is this going to result in added you power consumption?

[timid meadow]

Afaik that feature cant even be modded in in a typical fashion. The mod for using a gc controller off rip is just auto loading past the wii menu into your hbc of choice (commonly usbloadergx)

[loud wren]

I don't think there will be much difference in Power Consumption, as the GPU is still being utilized as much but just puts out more frames at that

so it will be the same Afaik, unless They fix current Power Consumption

[polar fern]

I see

[graceful burrow]

Yep bit of a pain for sure

[loud wren]

Still crazy how this type of Power Consumption wasn't accepted back then, but today even more is totally tolerable

Yeah. My graphics card is 150 watts. Main processor 65 watts. Dunno what folks are doing needing over double the wattage for things like Minecraft. This thing while streaming at 8000 bitrate 1080p gets 100-200 fps.

The monitor is 120 hz so I should lock the framerate at 120

Yes I’m aware.

[manic torrent]

And refresh rate isn't pixel change time blah blah

[polar fern]

Mhm

I remember games having frame buffer settings

[proven sinew]

how many grams of mushrooms can you guys collect

[neon mesa]

Minecraft still have the cpu frame buffer thing

[polar fern]

Dunno. I don’t collect them

[vapid zephyr]

Ah shit, now we have one of those guys here

[proven sinew]

i head its like 250 grams per day in germany or something

or it might have been netherlands

[polar fern]

You mean the dept of agriculture limits?

Yeah no idea.

[vapid zephyr]

There's no limit in Germany

[proven sinew]

in poland its 2kg per person per day (unless its private property then you can collect as much as you want)

[proven sinew]

i hate google

why does it say that and sometimes something completely different

theres no limit in poland

[polar fern]

Casual vs commercial usually has some kinda structure.

[loud wren]

Yeah had a R9 295X2 which at highs consumed like 400-500 Watts
Now a Vega 56 Undervolted on the 180-200Wattage Count

No idea how people can tolerate having a 400-500 Wattage Card especially in countries like Germany where Electricity Prices are just kaboom

[vapid zephyr]

In Germany you can collect as much as you want as long you're a private person (so as long you don't sell it), it's generally recommended to not exceed 2,000 grams though

[proven sinew]

ok so you can collect 2kg for free but if you want more you gotta pay some amount of money

[bitter pine]

When we getting a GPU with a stock ln2 pot?

We got liquid devil that comes with a waterblock so why no ln2 devil

[manic torrent]

Tomorrow

[bitter pine]

Based

[loud wren]

LN2 Mainboards when - kind of a throwback to my MSI Z97 Max AC with Watercooled VRMS

[vapid zephyr]

Commercially maybe, but as a private person no

[bitter pine]

Light power load

My Vega 64 probably draws 500 or 600w

[loud wren]

Sounds like my Radeon VII which I gave the Liquid Metal treatment

[vapid zephyr]

Mushroom picking is actually a national sport in Poland and there's no limit as a private person, there's no taxes either

[loud wren]

[bitter pine]

And my 6950 has done over 1000w continuous

[bitter pine]

Based

Mega based

[loud wren]

it didnt help much

but it made it atleast not throttle anymore

[bitter pine]

I kinda wanna get one now that I know how to use mpt with it

[proven sinew]

google keeps telling me like 3 different things

[vapid zephyr]

Mine doesn't

[loud wren]

Its such a Shame how Overclocking it is like only possible with MPT as anything else just wont work properly

[vapid zephyr]

Mine doesn't even mention anything about taxes or some shit

[bitter pine]

I would love to overvolt and remove power limit for vii

[proven sinew]

the fucking what

there aint no reason they should be that expensive

i think they are protected in poland but why so expensive

[loud wren]

@bitter pine curious though, as you mentioned having a Vega 64... did you ever have any issues like this?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/976176531296628756/1076596271298646166/image.png

I had the issues that my Radeon VII would randomly act up and report crazy clock rates

[bitter pine]

Its clock reporting is broken

You need to power mod it

[proven sinew]

just googled it and its illegal to collect them unless its on your property

[bitter pine]

I power modded my Vega 64 with my evc

[tulip tusk]

can you translate into EUR or USD?

[bitter pine]

But you can probably use old drivers with soft power play tables

[proven sinew]

111,42 euro

[bitter pine]

Unless you have a strix model

[proven sinew]

for 250 grams of morels

[tulip tusk]

that's a hell ton

[loud wren]

that would explain a lot as it for some reason didn't like going past 1200 MHZ on the HBM, doing so would break the clock reporting

it wouldnt impact performance

but it looks odd in charts definitely haha

[tulip tusk]

sounds overpriced to me

[proven sinew]

better off to get on my own (ive never seen them + its illegal to collect)

[bitter pine]

Amd really half assed Vega tbh

[tulip tusk]

Then why are they on a website?

[bitter pine]

Lot of issues they never fixed

[proven sinew]

maybe they plant them on their own

[bitter pine]

Because they were too busy locking it down from community fixes

Like power play tables and bios flashing

[tulip tusk]

And the government is not questioning that?

[proven sinew]

its illegal unless its on private property you own

[bitter pine]

It's like they wanted to declare war on Vega

[tulip tusk]

i see

[bitter pine]

Like they forgot it's their product

[proven sinew]

silly ass mushrooms

[tulip tusk]

this looks brutal

and poisonous

[proven sinew]

one on the right is called something something involved with a burning sensation because when you eat it it apparently has a burning sensation

[tulip tusk]

and the right?

[proven sinew]

the one on the left is called devils fingers

and the one on the right is also called devils tooth sometimes

[tulip tusk]

i feel like i can die from it as soon i touch it

[polar fern]

I mean heck, my Lenovo’s psu is 210 watts.

[lone crater]

Anyone here do cyber security?

[proven sinew]

its also under complete protection (the one with the red drops)

[polar fern]

Could stream Minecraft on that perfectly fine

[proven sinew]

ask @plush rivet

[tulip tusk]

210?

My ASUS only does 120 watts

[lone crater]

Aye

[polar fern]

This is a desktop

[tulip tusk]

oh

wait

since when are they making psus?

[dusty rune]

how will they know u stole the mushrooms

[dusty rune]

yeah i dont think he did cyber security

[proven sinew]

also fun fact. they arent poisonous they are just not edible (devils tooth gives a burning sensation and many people think devils fingers is also not edible because of the repulsive smell)

[proven sinew]

he did tho

[dusty rune]

what

[proven sinew]

piecreator is cyber security

[tulip tusk]

Interesting, i like that

[polar fern]

This is the Lenovo I use.

It good.

[tulip tusk]

i think a 4080 would be a good fit in there

/j

[loud wren]

I am curious of one thing though, did AMD ever State, as to why the Radeon VII wasn't a Full Vega to begin with?

[polar fern]

4080 would be like 1/3 the case

[loud wren]

I would Imagine it to be way more popular if it had 4096 Shader Units

[tulip tusk]

ik

[proven sinew]

but i think both of them are extremely rare

[bitter pine]

They were basically just failed mi50

[proven sinew]

especially the devils tooth because it is strictly protected

[manic torrent]

I work in cyber

[bitter pine]

The full dies went to mi60 and the ones that had partial defects became mi50 and the ones that failed the bin for mi50 went to vii

[tulip tusk]

considering the way they look, they most definitely are

[polar fern]

You could do it if you compacted the board & meshed a big section of case for airflow.

Micro atx board & move the psu to the top

[loud wren]

Damn, would they have been a full blown Vega, I would imagine the card to be a direct 1080TI Threat if not even slightly past it

but i wouldn't even want to know at what pricing

[bitter pine]

Radeon vii already averages a bit past 1080ti

[proven sinew]

also this is called dead mans fingers. they are mushrooms

[bitter pine]

It just cost too much to make

And using full die would make it cost more

[loud wren]

yeah in some games definitely, especially raw Performance wise

[bitter pine]

Cause then it would be higher on the binning list

[loud wren]

sadge

[bitter pine]

Tbh, they could have probably matched 1080ti with Vega 64 if they didn't decide to go schizo about power draw for God knows what reason

Like they weren't gonna get bashed for having poor efficiency anyways lol

Like if it's gonna happen just release a card that ignores it to smash the market

Cause at like 1300mv without a power limit it hits like 1800-1900mhz

[loud wren]

It's Crazy either way how Efficient as well as Unefficient a Vega was

If Undervolted the Cards were extremely efficient, but they were also insane Overclockers which like you said would have been way better to compete

[proven sinew]

also it is edible but its hard and very fibery and sometimes even wooden

[bitter pine]

It draws probably like 500-600w but if a v64 beat the 1080ti for $500 I'm sure people would pay that

[loud wren]

basically Radeon VII values in that case already for the clock speeds

[loud wren]

Definitely yeah

[bitter pine]

Instead it became the 1080 for slightly less money but way more power

Which is a lot harder to justify to some people

It would probably land just behind a 1080ti with way more power but would be there for way cheaper if they didn't care about power draw

Amd just got really lucky idiots became obsessed with crypto for some reason

[tulip tusk]

nvm

[loud wren]

I mean the Vega Cards were a Minus for them either way

They didn't make money of the cards

[bitter pine]

They definitely made money

Just not as large of profit margin and other GPUs

Mainly cause hbm pricing

Once hynix hbm came out the profit went up more but hynix hbm sucked

[proven sinew]

why i get ghost ping

[polar fern]

Hmm

@proven sinew probably something that got shot down by warship

Hmmm. Trying to find a decent affordable video camera is turning out to be a challenge.

[plush rivet]

hi

[rancid cargo]

Is movavi safe to use, i wanna get the free video converter, anyone used it before?

[polar fern]

🤷‍♂️

Check the ltt forum.

[proven sinew]

mayonaise on top

[tired glade]

VLC can convert videos pretty efficiently

[vapid zephyr]

You can ask Aldo I guess, he's the only one I know that knows stuff about cameras

[tidal minnow]

Vlc has a converter? Dam

The only issue I have with vlc is that all of my videos I had downloaded. Their thumbnails were swapped.

Probably because I switched phones

[hexed belfry]

🍞

[polar fern]

It sucks because a lot of these electronics and camera sites don’t have the compare option available on the mobile browser page so you literally have to swap between two pages to compare them

[lone crater]

Can i dm?

[fierce moth]

Just picked up

I can use it to add ethernet to my gamecube

[tired glade]

Nice colour

[fierce moth]

Aliexpress do be weird tho

[silent elbow]

I fucking liked the western society (not the woke one), the guns, the memes, the language, the internet culture

[plush rivet]

Sure

[silent elbow]

im not a self hating culture (through I loved Filipino culture) but the meme culture of the west is just better and understandablle for me

which makes me less attractive in my country

[fierce moth]

[silent elbow]

i mean im more into western culture

even through I dont live in a western country 😄
