[errant mesa]

[vapid cypress]

So true

[trim dawn]

Good am5 pcie mobo?

[errant mesa]

with elevator music playing in the mind

[vapid smelt]

what do you mean by pcie mobo?

[errant mesa]

not sure you have a single answer there

[trim dawn]

I meant pcie5 lol

[trim dawn]

I meant pcie5 lol

[vapid smelt]

you will need a b650E

[errant mesa]

there is a lot of factors for good. i suspect there is more then enough that are good, its just relative to you, your budget and goal.

[trim dawn]

Budget? Under 500 aud ig

[errant mesa]

is this a new build or?

[trim dawn]

No. I'm planning to upgrade my am4 5800x3d to match my 4070ti

[vapid cypress]

I do like to turn off my brain sometime

[trim dawn]

Thx bro

[vapid smelt]

wait nvm that was gen 4

[errant mesa]

me too. althought sometimes it just crashes and takes a while to reboot

[trim dawn]

Oh ok

[errant mesa]

hmm

I have a 3900x with a 3080Ti atm

[trim dawn]

Yeah, but my mobo is pcie gen 3 and I thought of getting an am4 gen 4 and I just said screw it

[errant mesa]

fair enough

[vapid smelt]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#c=161,159&sort=price all these will have gen 5

[errant mesa]

i guess look at PC part picker, look at reviews and keep your budget in mind

[trim dawn]

Yeah, thanks

[errant mesa]

also make sure you have enough for your case, such as my case has 4 USB 3.2 on the front...but my mobo only a port for 2 ;-;

[vapid cypress]

Especially when there is math involved

[trim dawn]

I have 3 usb on my case but one rarely works. Tempromental

[errant mesa]

oh lol

Is there a good pcie5 ssd?

[glossy crest]

Guys can i use dell oem power supply that has a 24 pin motherboard thingy on a new motherboard like msi a320m, but the cpu pin doesnt match cuz its a 4 pin and the msi one is 8 pin, can i buy adapter for it? I cant buy psu cuz i got no cash for it

[errant mesa]

most good brands i'd say. I believe samsung have them and are good

[vapid smelt]

the cheapest is 250 aud for 1tb

[errant mesa]

does the psu have another 4 pin? my PSU didn't have a 8 pin for the cpu, just two 4

[trim dawn]

Ok, thanks. Thats all i needed. Ttyl

[vapid smelt]

gen 5 ssds are useless for 98% of people

[vapid cypress]

My name is gen 5 ssd infact

[glossy crest]

1x 4 pin and thats for the cpu only

Is it a fire hazard when i buy a 8 pin cpu adapter?

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/263793153705

Thats my current mobo

[errant mesa]

soz brb , need to replace my 3080Ti with 4090, need 3 more frames on mc

[errant mesa]

not sure i'd trust putting any adapter on a power supply unless supplied by the PSU and said to do so.

[sturdy forum]

Y'all ever be so broke U haven't ate in 3 days

Bro what is the most calorie dense food for less than a dollar

[glossy crest]

so not safe, got it

[glossy crest]

Noodles

[sturdy forum]

Noodles for breakfast time

I've eaten all the canned food in my house

[eager notch]

I straight up believe 99% of people couldn't tell the difference between a Gen 5 SSD and a Gen 3 ssd

[manic torrent]

100%

[eager notch]

A liter of gasoline, it contains about 8000 calories

[manic torrent]

There is no functional difference on a desktop.

[sturdy forum]

Wait fr?

[manic torrent]

Delicious gasoline.

[eager notch]

Yep

[manic torrent]

I mean it's not food, but it does have a lot of energy

[eager notch]

Plus if you drink it, it will provide you with energy for the rest of your life

But obviously pls don't drink gasoline

[vapid cypress]

Calories is literally heat

Heat expelled when you burn it

[eager notch]

So I'm on fire?

[vapid cypress]

Yeah you are burning constantly

Right now!

[manic torrent]

No, calories is energy. Heat is one form of energy

[errant mesa]

farting is both

[vapid cypress]

I'm talking about the unit

[eager notch]

Nope, if you look at the standard, 1 Calorie (capitalized Calories or kilocalories) is the amount of energy it takes to heat up 1 kg of water by 1°C

[errant mesa]

if i remember correctly there is both

[manic torrent]

Which is how you measure it, not what it is.

[lyric spade]

Help

Help me pls

[neon mesa]

correction, a gram of water, not kilogram

[errant mesa]

would you consider this as data entry? inputiing into a weekly Excel file. everything that was used, ordered, time and who etc?

[opal thunder]

some OEM psus are bombs so i would change regardless

[lyric spade]

I need a good branded Psu that won’t blow up my PC for 75 bucks before tax

[manic torrent]

You can also express it in joules. You can state the capacity of a battery in calories.

[sturdy forum]

Currently drinking a litre of gasoline, tastes better than I thought

[manic torrent]

I mean that's literally what data entry is..... Entering data.

[errant mesa]

Uhhh the guy from Taken says goodluck

[neon mesa]

it's just like fahrenheit, celcius and kelvin

the relation of joule and calorie

[errant mesa]

yeah i know...but...i don't trust people

[sturdy forum]

Cx650

This gasoline is boppin

[errant mesa]

could i say that i have 3 years expierience with data entry then? lol

[lyric spade]

The Corsair one?

[errant mesa]

as i did it for such

[sturdy forum]

Ya

I mean their are alot of options sub 75 usd

[eager notch]

Nope, a calorie is different than a Calorie with a capital "C"

The capital C Calorie refers to a kilocalorie, that's what food items are measured in is kilocalories or Calories.

[sturdy forum]

Any name brand will be safe

[manic torrent]

Yeah sure 🙂

[lyric spade]

I was looking at that

[sturdy forum]

Unless it's gigabyte

[lyric spade]

Is Gskill a named brand

Hey my GPU and motherboard is gonna be a gigabyte

[sturdy forum]

Gigabyte has a feature where their over current protection makes your power supply blow up

[vapid smelt]

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

[neon mesa]

Calorie is calorie
use kilocalorie or kcal to refer to kilocalorie

[lyric spade]

I was just looking at this it doesn’t really help too much just a list

[eager notch]

In the land of the free, home of expensive healthcare, Calorie refers to kcal

[errant mesa]

Say a company has two jobs up for offer. either of which i'd apply for....should I apply for both or just the one that I would perfer to do

[manic torrent]

Both, quite possibly entirely different teams and people involved

[lyric spade]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WYZXYN
this is a pc I am building for just over 800 bucks what could I have changed

[errant mesa]

One is Spare Parts Coordinator and one's Logistics Coordinator

Warehouse and Distribution, Warehouse and Data Entry

The best way i've been described....i over think everything.

[eager notch]

You should probably go 6000 series AMD

[vapid smelt]

.....

[lyric spade]

Mmm but why tho

Am tryna get this thing to run ark ascended😭

[errant mesa]

What would you define as "Current"

[lyric spade]

Wym

In a deep sort of way or a computer thing

[errant mesa]

applying for a job and one of the required questions ask for a "Current" Record check

[lyric spade]

Well they wanna check your current record

Like what’s on your record now

[errant mesa]

and they are asking if i have a current one

[lyric spade]

Have you done@any crime

[eager notch]

Because the 4060 isn't a super good value

[lyric spade]

Any time

[errant mesa]

i have one that's nearly 6 months old

but would you say a record check 6 months old is current, otherwise its like 3 weeks for a record check

[lyric spade]

I mean they’re just gonna look at it to see if you’ll be fine at this job or to check and think if you have any issues

[lyric spade]

But I kinda interested in streaming

Ish

And I hear getting a nvidia is better for dat

[eager notch]

Hey, it's your money and if ya want Nvidia, go for it

[lyric spade]

I alr bought the cpu i cant go back😔I shoulda chose the 5700X

[errant mesa]

I got an AMD card..... i cri ere tiem

sold it to a friend for plex server and bought a nvidia

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/k7sMTY

[eager notch]

I have 1 amd card and about 15 Nvidia cards

[lyric spade]

This is my first PC

[errant mesa]

is the AMD a paper weight...and i mean it...god damn was mine heavy, my low end weighed twice as much as my 3080Ti

[eager notch]

I mean not really, it was just really loud because it was a reference blower card, not an aftermarket card

[errant mesa]

Ah yeah

[lyric spade]

I comprende now

How much a 4070ti

[errant mesa]

i did like mine, but the driver issues i had, affected the perfomance and the over all experience...

[opal thunder]

expensive

[errant mesa]

between 1 and 100000 zillion

[opal thunder]

like 1200 CAD

[vapid cypress]

One in a krillion

[lyric spade]

Okay well the 4060ti and 3070 are the same price

[eager notch]

I was mining on mine and Nvidia and AMD drivers didn't like playing nicely so it had to go on it's own system where I could easily get 6 Nvidia cards to play nicely after figuring out their overclocks

[sturdy forum]

I got yogurt but it has the consistency of sand?

It's kefir protein it was on sale

I'm starting to see why

[errant mesa]

ah yeah fair enough

[eager notch]

I do not like sand

[lyric spade]

Sand in your mouth

Terrible

[vapid smelt]

damn you dont like silicon

[lyric spade]

Lord yall wasn’t kidding

That 4070 ti almost my entire pc

[vapid cypress]

I like to eat silicone chips

Has a nice crunch to it

[eager notch]

I prefer silicon in my computer, not in between my toes.

Silicone is what works up the bootyhole

[vapid cypress]

🤨

What now?

[manic torrent]

For semi solid, yes. But for liquid, water based is best

[vapid cypress]

Am I reading this correctly? 🤨

[lyric spade]

If I did wanna run ark ascended it’d be better if I got like 6700xt?

[vapid smelt]

yes

[lyric spade]

Dayum

How you think it’ll run with what I chose

[vapid cypress]

You can check vids

[eager notch]

Koopas overall build is better I think personally, 12tg Gen Intel is pretty nifty

I really should upgrade the storage to full SSD storage.

[errant mesa]

Okay Goodnight everybody

[eager notch]

Peace

[vapid cypress]

Pie

[lyric spade]

Yea am looking around and it’s saying my graphics card would run like 32fps on ark ascended

[vapid cypress]

Lunch in 15 minutes I'm hongry

[eager notch]

SSD Storage is so fucking cheap it's amazing, I remember thinking the great deal I got on my first Sata SSD when I paid 60 bucks for a 240 gig Sata SSD back in like 2016 and now you can buy 2 TB nvme SSDs for 80 bucks

[lyric spade]

And that’s on high settings😔

[vapid cypress]

I had to buy a tray and a specific sata cable for my laptop shit was expensive

Like 20€ I think

Maybe even 30€

Then 70€ 1TB SSD

[pulsar violet]

Are glasses just DLSS for your eyes?

[vapid cypress]

No

More like correct raytracing for your eyes

[rustic holly]

I'm too good. I broke screen time.

[manic torrent]

No

[manic torrent]

Your brain is actually DLSS for your eyes already. It fills in a whole bunch of stuff.

[pulsar violet]

Oh ok then it’s just field of depth correction

[dull tapir]

also flips the image

[dull tapir]

well it is lens problem which results in blurry image

[pulsar violet]

Yea

[dull tapir]

i have -3.5 on left and -4.0 on right

[rustic holly]

I'm screwed.

[dull tapir]

also i have weird condition like werid field of view like my lens shrinks and everything becomes distant

[vapid cypress]

Reality isn't real

[errant mesa]

Just saw the meme for that on reddit

[errant mesa]

Correct, if there is one thing seizures taught me. It’s that.

[pulsar violet]

Saw it on a YouTube post for some reason, I swear YouTube posts are one of the most useless things

[errant mesa]

Oh shit sorry it was a YouTube post.

[pulsar violet]

lol

[errant mesa]

And correct. It’s why I don’t engage in them

[carmine stirrup]

Okay... Agree on the PSU

[lyric spade]

Then what psu should I get😭

[shut lichen]

just wait, I'm working on a list

of course it is, it's a high end seasonic

@lyric spade here's a much better list made from better parts, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4zQwkJ under 800 not including cpu price. if you could stretch it a little over 800, the 7700 XT could be an option over the 4060 ti

[shut lichen]

seriously, stop it lol

[sudden bough]

wait

so if they have a budget and the power supplies are adaquate what is the problem? not everyone can afford a super high end power supply

he prolly has friends and wants to play with them

@lyric spade what's it like to have friends? 🙂

[shut lichen]

because they still need the rest of the damn parts, buying some mediocre thing for slightly less than something better right now isn't worth it in any possible way

[carmine stirrup]

The seasonic is a good deal with that $10 off

[sudden bough]

i suppose

[opal thunder]

thats actually pretty good

[carmine stirrup]

Though I'd get the 4060 from B&H for $100 less

[sudden bough]

but i have a thermaltake and it isn't bad so idk

[carmine stirrup]

(if one went 4060)

[carmine stirrup]

Really, so long as the rails are rated for what you need, it's likely fine. Most mobos go overkill on vrms these days anyway

[sudden bough]

yeah idk. i mean prolly upgrade in a few years anyway

the computer i built that has the thermaltake still works well

i may install folding on it and heat the downstairs

[carmine stirrup]

I run a dual cpu xeon on a used evga 1300w off ebay and it's run folding for a month with narry a hiccup

[lyric spade]

What tier is the one I found

[sudden bough]

wait like 2 cpus?

[opal thunder]

read the image

[shut lichen]

and that's a very "overbuilt" PSU lol, of course it's fine

[sudden bough]

i always wondered what it would be like to have like 4 cpus and 2-3 gpus in a computer

[carmine stirrup]

Yeah, 2 145W TDP 22C/44T cpus

[sudden bough]

😮

[shut lichen]

not a 750W entry level thing

[carmine stirrup]

I also run a lot of used EVGA 750s in other machines

Pretty sure they're all C tier

[sudden bough]

the only computers ive ever used that had multiple cpus/gpus was for a industrial printer

[lyric spade]

Will it be frustrating to you when I say I barley understand it

[sudden bough]

yall should see what equipment they spec for apartments

[sudden bough]

same but i think its rankings of psus

based on some metric someone made up

[carmine stirrup]

tbh, most games ony use 2-4 threads, so systems like that actually perform worse

[opal thunder]

its either the first or second

[carmine stirrup]

since you get like 4 cores at 3.6GHz vs 4 cores at 5Ghz in a desktop cpu

[sudden bough]

yeah but what could you use a multip cpu/gpu computer for? like processing stuff i guess

[carmine stirrup]

but they can unzip files like a mothereffer

[opal thunder]

i dont know which rev the psu you linked is

[lyric spade]

Oh word and thems pretty decent

[shut lichen]

the primary reason to not go with the NZXT one is their customer support is complete trash

[carmine stirrup]

running multiple vms, folding@home, AI work, etc...

[sudden bough]

si

magic

[lyric spade]

Makes sense

Am waiting for the cyber Monday deals to pop up or sum it’s 3:21am

[shut lichen]

EVGA have got tier customer support, seasonic is great too, corsair is apparently pretty good... never had to use it though because I've never had a warrantable problem with a corsair product

[opal thunder]

that price is nice though for an A-tier

might just be cyber monday though

[lyric spade]

Yea it’s a deal

31% off

[opal thunder]

would not buy at full price 💀

[shut lichen]

it's literally a few dollars less than the great seasonic one in the list. it'll go back up to the list price of $130, and then the seasonic will be cheaper once again

[shut lichen]

would not buy at any price, it's nzxt

[opal thunder]

true

[lyric spade]

Might js buy the Thermaltake then

[opal thunder]

damn fr? man i wish i bought a power supply on cyber monday instead of when i did

[sudden bough]

if they were not adaquate people wouldn't buy em yeah?

[shut lichen]

if you don't want to take the advice to just fucking wait to buy things, then go for it, waste money on inferior shit lol

[sudden bough]

what makes it bad?

my old computer has an MSI motherboard and a Thermaltake psu

[shut lichen]

the thermaltake is B tier and $89
thermaltake have the nickname thermalfake for a reason

[sudden bough]

😐

[lyric spade]

Cuhz I js wanna play games💀

[shut lichen]

inferior shit that you won't even be able to use until you have everything else

[lyric spade]

And use it for college

[sudden bough]

laptop for college honestly

OH look at student discounts

[carmine stirrup]

@sudden bough Ethan is kinda prescriptive, not descriptive in their explanations.

Here is the methodology behind the PSU tier list they are referencing.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eL0893Ramlwk6E3s3uSvH1_juom7SMG5SCNzP2Uov8w/edit#gid=1214219159

[sudden bough]

[sudden bough]

[shut lichen]

🤦‍♂️

[lyric spade]

I have a ps5 I barely use it it plays music and YouTube

[sudden bough]

[lyric spade]

[sudden bough]

[lyric spade]

Am a big strong man I could do it

I lift more than game💀

[sudden bough]

OH you can't say dad dy 😐

rofl

[manic torrent]

... you don't need to be big and strong

[carmine stirrup]

Surviving in the woods has less to do with strength than botany

[sudden bough]

This is Greek to me 😉 but doesn't look all that difference between A and B

[lyric spade]

No shot but it helps

[carmine stirrup]

Do you know what plants you can eat? How to prepare and cook an animal?

[sudden bough]

honestly just save the money 😐

[manic torrent]

also engineering. butchery.

[lyric spade]

Kinda ish

[carmine stirrup]

How to make clothing?

[manic torrent]

maybe start small, how to make a fire

[sudden bough]

could go live with the amish... i'm not allowed back there 😐

[lyric spade]

I was in scouts and raised by a military veteran

[carmine stirrup]

lol fair

[lyric spade]

It’s too late I bought the cpu

[sudden bough]

you can save the rest!

[lyric spade]

It’s happening

[sudden bough]

ugh

[manic torrent]

reject bank, return to monke

[sudden bough]

why spend money one stuff you don't need

[sudden bough]

tried got arrested 😐

[manic torrent]

... dude why do you have to call me out like that

[shut lichen]

you're not meant to have relations with the zoo's monkey

[lyric spade]

I probably won’t buy the graphics card if I really don’t want it

[sudden bough]

lol

[sudden bough]

that wasn't me and it was the koalas... 😐

i'm more of the flinging poo type

[lyric spade]

But the pc will be functional

And probably run csgo the first

[sudden bough]

meh do what you want

[shut lichen]

we've tried to recommend wiser decisions, we give up now

[manic torrent]

I only buy things I absolutely need. like 10gb network cards, OLED screens, rack cabinets and such. These are all essential

[sudden bough]

the council has spoken!

[shut lichen]

you can buy whatever you want because you can actually afford it

[lyric spade]

Am gonna run out of pre workout soon

[versed tapir]

is there a server for desktops

[lyric spade]

I have a part time💀

[sudden bough]

what mean?

[versed tapir]

as in background

[sudden bough]

what

[manic torrent]

lol, actually looking at my recent ebay purchases like... brake pads and rotors all round for the car, dishwasher replacement spring, disheasher drain hose, vacuum head

mostly boring adult shit, interspersed with

[sudden bough]

:d

i may be a home owner soon if they let me build a yurt

[lyric spade]

I would’ve bought the seasonic but I thought I had a good choice on psu and let money go

[shut lichen]

🤦‍♂️

[lyric spade]

Yea am 5 dollars short

After tax

Mmm if am lucky I can get my sisters bf to lend me 5 bucks later

Otherwise we’re doomed

And it’s all gonna blow

[shut lichen]

🤦‍♂️

we've said multiple times to just wait and buy it all

[sudden bough]

what

[fierce cobalt]

what phone would you guys recommend for about 300-400$

[sudden bough]

i mean idk buy what you can on sale if there are any deals

[sudden bough]

check with your carrier, they prolly have an iPhone around that price

[lyric spade]

It’s okay ion got many tho like 4 actual good ones

[sudden bough]

;o

thats more than my imaginary ones

[lyric spade]

😭

[sudden bough]

they wont talk to me anymore 😐

[lyric spade]

They don’t even go to my school tho

That’s crazy

[sudden bough]

thats what the psych said...

[lyric spade]

School starts in 4 hours 30 min

But am I gonna go to school

No am going late to hit back

Oh wait I just remembered I can’t I have to turn in my time sheet

Fuck

[sudden bough]

[lyric spade]

No cuz I work at the school I have a time sheet for when I work

[sudden bough]

oic

[lyric spade]

Mhm

And that’s how this pc is being made

[sudden bough]

meh save the money and invest it in a CD or something at a local credit union.

trust when i say money later is better than money now

[lyric spade]

I was supposed to buy a cardio bike so I could boost my metabolism and lose fat easier but that’s on hold now

[sudden bough]

[lyric spade]

No

I don’t wanna go outside I hate people

[sudden bough]

same

[gentle slate]

soon I get b etter paid job

soon I get everything ive ever wanted.

[lyric spade]

I get paid 16 a hour

[sudden bough]

doesn't work like that I promise 😐

[gentle slate]

my pay gonna get doubled. if not more

[gentle slate]

wym. More money = more purchases

[lyric spade]

Ong

They know what I mean

[sudden bough]

you can make money by saving :d

[gentle slate]

slow

[lyric spade]

See

[gentle slate]

make money immediately

[lyric spade]

THEY GET IT

[sudden bough]

meh kids

[lyric spade]

LMAOO

[gentle slate]

like yes if you make 8$ an hour you can make the same amount of money as 16$ eventually.

except at 16$ youll make that money significantly faster!

[lyric spade]

Yup

[sudden bough]

taxes

[gentle slate]

dont pay them. simple

[sudden bough]

utility bills, rent

[lyric spade]

Yes I still get taxed even tho am I minor😔

[gentle slate]

theft

[sudden bough]

car payment tuition

[gentle slate]

ok. but

[sudden bough]

gas food

[gentle slate]

if you make 8$ an hour you still have to pay those

[sudden bough]

yes

[lyric spade]

Food is hsndled with food stamps

[gentle slate]

when you make 16$ you pay those again. And have more money left over!

[lyric spade]

Food solved

[sudden bough]

you wont qualify unless you make under $2k or something like that

[lyric spade]

Well guess what idk but that’s finna be me when am 18

[sudden bough]

$16 is more like $13 after taxes $8 is more like $7 after taxes

[gentle slate]

also regarding taxes, here your income gets automatically taxed. handled by the employer

[sudden bough]

$50k a year is more like $30k a year

[gentle slate]

so what im lookin at

is raw money thatll end up in my pocket

[lyric spade]

And then you also get to look at the stupid amount they took from you for these taxes

[sudden bough]

the lower your income the more you pay in taxes 🙂

[lyric spade]

Or my checks tell me how much they took from me

[sudden bough]

at least in the USA

[lyric spade]

Idk am do welding

[sudden bough]

oh well

[lyric spade]

Gonna glue metal

[sudden bough]

that is lucrative

[lyric spade]

Ches

I woulda done underwater welding

But I’d have to go to Harvard I was told

[gentle slate]

[lyric spade]

And like hell am get accepted to Harvard

[manic torrent]

[sudden bough]

tax code 😐

[shut lichen]

[lyric spade]

My next purchase with my moneys is gonna be a mother board

[manic torrent]

[gentle slate]

[lyric spade]

But

[sudden bough]

Meh

[lyric spade]

That’s the main reason I am building this thing

[sudden bough]

Why? It’s not all that

[gentle slate]

ill also need 500 EUR for a resin printer

500 seems to be the sweetspot for resin printers

[lyric spade]

To play csgo

And Elden ring

[sudden bough]

Meh

[lyric spade]

[lyric spade]

The guy I used to live with would make me play wow

[lyric spade]

Certain games I can’t on the ps5 Ches

Like cs and WOW

[lyric spade]

He’s also the guy who got me into body building

[sudden bough]

Hm

This one is not like the others. This one is not the same

[gentle slate]

can an unraid system be easily expanded storage wise?

[lyric spade]

No am not gonna be a lazy wow player

I am not lazy in the slightest

[sudden bough]

What like adding extra storage to a computer. Yes

[gentle slate]

[sudden bough]

I have two hard drives attached to a dock which is attached to a computer

[lyric spade]

Buenos noches I friend you tickler and toast

I LOVE CATS

[gentle slate]

[lyric spade]

My cat is next to me rn

[sudden bough]

[gentle slate]

I actually wonder if I should separate it more instead of using one big juiced up box

[lyric spade]

She’s so fluffy I love her

Okay I sleep now goodnight strangers

[sudden bough]

Bai bai

[gentle slate]

Pirate box, actual personal file storage like photos, documents, potentially host a minecraft server on it, video storage

[sudden bough]

Ye

[lyric spade]

You’re not accepting friend requests 😔

[sudden bough]

I have that turned off

[lyric spade]

Mkay mane

[gentle slate]

I play games a lot and I'd like to store video "memories" like videos of notable moments. They just hit diff compared to plain screenshots

[lyric spade]

Goodnight till I see you again

[sudden bough]

Hm

I’ve no life I’m always on

[gentle slate]

I have multiple clips from FFXIV with friends goofing around

[sudden bough]

OIC

[gentle slate]

and it just hit me that it would be a great idea

problem is those videos take a fuck ton of space.

[sudden bough]

You could upload to YouTube

[gentle slate]

like it either looks like shit or eats up 5+GB

eww youtube

[sudden bough]

Yes well

[polar fern]

Watching guy Martin’s narroeboat series… closed captions look like they may be from the wrong episode. Oops.

[sudden bough]

[vapid cypress]

Hmm?

[opal thunder]

What? Is the video interesting or am I missing something?

Me no brain rn.

[vapid cypress]

Nothing... a ghost

[opal thunder]

Ahhhh that.

[median karma]

recently if I'm playing a game or something and I receive a discord mention my window automatically switches to dc... how do I disable this?

[opal thunder]

if I?

[tranquil goblet]

I was gonna talk tech or at least ask about tech but it can wait

[opal thunder]

wtf thats not normal

[tranquil goblet]

oh huh that's odd

[vapid cypress]

Then your game is broken

[tranquil goblet]

my message I deleted got sent again

[median karma]

oh yeah it happens only in cs2 now that you mention it

just started happening this past week

[tropic kayak]

is there a difference to what thermal paste i use for my cpu?

[vapid cypress]

Yes

[tropic kayak]

and how do i choose the correct thermal paste? I got i5 7400 if it changes anything

[sudden shale]

I wonder if I can use SSE mods on TESV

[opal thunder]

not that large of a difference afaik

[vapid cypress]

Just look at watts per square Metter as a spec

If you want quality thermal paste

[sudden shale]

Like, I accidentally downloaded TESV mod for my SSE game and it still works, wonder if it'll work vice versa. But, usually older versions work on newer versions so it might be because of that

[sudden shale]

Pick one where you immediately die after consuming the thermal paste (that was a joke)

[vapid cypress]

That is quite a dark joke

Depending on how you look at it

[tropic kayak]

you got any recommendations?

[opal thunder]

arctic mx-6 is good

[vapid cypress]

Nope, maybe ask #tech-chat-1 ?

[haughty delta]

Going to order very soon, making sure 1 more time

https://www.reddit.com/r/MousepadReview/s/PwfpsJgGe5

[opal thunder]

also NT-H1 iirc

[stable birch]

anyone know a company that does a similar aestetic but high quality products? https://chubbycable.com

[sudden shale]

The first thing I'll do when I get a good monitor is take a shit, in the toilet of course not on the monitor. Because usually the packages arrive in the morning and everytime I wake up I have a sudden urge to shit.

[graceful burrow]

Nevermind, crosspost

[steep cobalt]

Whats your budget?

I would recommend the 3070Ti or 4070ti, those seem to be the sweetspots of the respective generations for the pricepoints

The Intel Arc is just too ... bothersome for gaming

its the one we wanna root for, but its just getting bullied between AMD and Nvidia Cards

[fierce plume]

Which camera is she refering to "it's a dollar per picture"
https://youtu.be/wUVWuH9RDGQ

Is it a Kodak?
I want the model

[graceful burrow]

Maybe timestamp it?

[molten drift]

I would imagine it's some sort of Polaroid.

[graceful burrow]

I'd probably be able to tell you
If I knew where in the video it was

But I ain't watching all the way through for someone else lmao

[molten drift]

Their fridge is covered in polaroid photos.

So I would imagine it's polaroid.

[spice pine]

they literally say what it is 30 seconds before that statement is made

Instax Mini Evo

[fierce plume]

Instax reels cost a dollar?

I thought they were referring to some old instant camera

[spice pine]

instax mini, roughly $16USD for a 20 pack, yeah

[fierce plume]

Damn, that's hella costly

[maiden pine]

hey guys is shimmering on fences and stuff normal at 1440p max settings in cyberpunk ?

[graceful burrow]

Are you using upscaling?

[maiden pine]

Nope

[maiden pine]

Even with or without dlss

[night heron]

i dont know about that game specifically but in general you will see jaggies and shimmering with a 27" 1440p panel yeah

[maiden pine]

oh got it

[maiden pine]

so in conclusion jaggies and shimmering is normal at 1440p 27 inches even at max settings and max aa ?

[night heron]

yeah

[maiden pine]

👍👍

[night heron]

27" 1440p is only one fourth "retina" at arms' length away from your face and antialiasing can only do so much

[stoic beacon]

Are you saying 16 year olds don't pay income tax?...

Any help woul dbe greatly appreciated!

[eager notch]

Don't buy the Dell, even basic office machines should have at least 16 gigs of RAM imo

On the other hand, I've had bad luck with hp laptops and my 5 year old Dell laptop still works great

[weary jackal]

Looks like there's 2 SODIMM slots on the Dell and 1 on the HP

[simple tiger]

So the HP is running single channel 16gbs?

[weary jackal]

Yeah

Both come with Windows 11 in S Mode, they'll only allow apps from the Microsoft Store by default

it's easy to disable though

[pliant karma]

at my college's tv studio last semester when I was doing my production we daisy chained 20 arri L5 dmxs

I didn't need 20 lights but I was like I have 20 which was all we had and a couple of softbox lights at my disposal so I went all out with the planning

[molten drift]

Tempting... I just need it as the dragons i added to my mtg deck have effects that I must role.a d20 when ever it does combat damage.

[pliant karma]

hell for the TV Ops class who had to take it down since it was studio reset, they despised me

[graceful burrow]

wait were you actually talking about dice

[molten drift]

Yes I am trying to get a literal d20 dice. Just one.

[graceful burrow]

i thought it was just an acronym that i didnt get lmao

[eager notch]

Mine is for theater

if you need it to be bougie

[molten drift]

I mean that's half the price.... So it can be bougie... But also it doesn't have to be lol

[pliant karma]

one of the productions I was involved with helping with lighting

[eager notch]

I ant find any of our last set but we did finding Nemo with 120 kids

[hasty helm]

foot

[eager notch]

Of course im the only person who actually knows how to set up the AV so I get to set up the entire sound and light system entirely by myself

[jaunty compass]

I bought it since it was $20 and I was curious

It's a modular controller and it was $20

If it isn't entirely awful this thing could be an amazing deal

[fierce moth]

Fuck me

The weather is absolute shit atm

[sonic spruce]

Nah I’m good bro

[fierce moth]

🤦

Yesterday it was nearing 30c and now it's a fuckin thunderstorm

With a shit ton of rain

And it's gonna be summer next week

[vapid smelt]

It's going to reach -6 c at night here want to trade?

[fierce moth]

Gladly

I got decent heaters

And I've never seen snow

[vapid smelt]

What

[fierce moth]

I mean

[vapid smelt]

Don't you get snow on your mountain down there

[fierce moth]

Rarely

Like a couple of years ago

And that's the only place in the state that had it

[vapid smelt]

Last year one of our ski resorts got 903 inches (just under 30m) of snow over the whole year

[carmine stirrup]

The woody is complete!

[vapid smelt]

A wood PC with no brown noctua fans

[carmine stirrup]

I did consider them, but I kinda wanted a copper steampunk vibe. The light is more copper and less yellow in person

[vapid smelt]

Copper custom loop coming soon? 👀

[carmine stirrup]

Not for this PC, I don't think--not with the internals it has right now, at least. it's just a 12600K and a 3060Ti

[white pawn]

and what exactly is it? a link person, a link! 🙂

[jaunty compass]

https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0ogQjW

I bought one out of curiosity

[white pawn]

after using the guilikit king kong 2 pro i refuse to use anything that isn't at least that level of build/component quality 😛 sucks for MS and Sony, I just won't go back to their shitty controllers

[jaunty compass]

This certainly isn't that lol but what it is is $20

[dusty cloak]

Woah

[white pawn]

true 🙂

[jaunty compass]

If it doesn't suck it could be a really good value

[white pawn]

well, definitely let us know once ya get it

[errant mesa]

i want something fascinating to do

[icy rock]

Is just 1 cpu stock fan enough

[white pawn]

install Dosbox-x on a raspberry pi 🙂

when ya figure it out, lemme know, the only article i can find on it is outta date

[errant mesa]

i accidently threw out my Pi and everything i had with it 😦

[errant mesa]

figuring things out is what i do best

[white pawn]

doh!

[sudden bough]

WHAT

THATS NEAT

[white pawn]

yeah, i thought so too, been able to install literaly everything else i wanted to on my Pi4, but Dosbox-x is proving....recalcitrant

[errant mesa]

hmm

any other ideas then lol

i suppose i can listen to the audiobook on nuclear energy and it's history again

[white pawn]

i find it interesting that explaining nuclear energy can be reduced to "we found this rock that heats up when you put too much of it in the same place, so we use that heat to boil water and make turbines spin, and the spinning of those turbines creates electricity" 😛

[errant mesa]

yeah, when i found out about breader reactors, it depressed me

[white pawn]

i know right? you want it to be this cool complicated thing, and then it isn't

[errant mesa]

it's more so that. we have this almost unlimited energy source, that has been tainted

[full fossil]

Think of it like an advanced steam engine

[errant mesa]

and the way they work and the safety's in place. such as the ones in nuclear subs and ships. are idiot proof

[white pawn]

yeah, and the worst part, the taint is because of rumor, not anything that actually happened

[errant mesa]

and then the generation (as in now making commercial ones) thorium salt reactors are incrediblwe

[carmine stirrup]

Thanks! 😄

[errant mesa]

or things that happened of human fault. nothing of safety. three mile island. the reactor would have been fine had they not let the system do it's thing.

[white pawn]

but it's really not that advanced honestly, we just changed the fuel from coal and upscaled the size for larger generation

[errant mesa]

the audio books goes into the research with the nuclear bomb iswell and how they made the nuclear reactor and then some for the US Navy

[white pawn]

i thought 3 mile island was a safety valve issue that only caused a scare but no real problems?

[full fossil]

Most of the design issues are worked out. Providing you don’t get a tsunami you should be good these days

[errant mesa]

I believe that was the cause of the primary pump, and then the secondary pump was to turn on and cycle, they turned it off when the system was to automatically restart it. basically if they had not touched anything, everything would have been fine

[white pawn]

yeah, just checked, 3MI was a safety valve and sensor malfunction that caused a partial meltdown

but no harful radiation escaped, and no one was hurt or even exposed from it

[full fossil]

But nuclear scary

[white pawn]

well, the automatice safety valve didng engage, so they had to use a manual one, which then failed and didnt disengage when elvels fell to correct pressures

[errant mesa]

i just love the fail safes and how idiot proof they are, mainly the ones aboard nuclear subs and ships. the coolant is the same as the moderator...meaning if one goes the other does and shuts it down

[white pawn]

yup

but try convincing the average moron of that

[errant mesa]

so is a million other things. the thing with nuclear is the scrutiny that goes into it.

[errant mesa]

well you remember in the news about the Fukishema Waste water release? and how bad the press is for that. when in reality that water is safe.

[white pawn]

all cause of chernobyl really, which is sad, cause even at the time it was built, everyone told the russians it was a stupid way to build a reactor

[full fossil]

Well most of the reasons they don’t built more is the lack of appetite on the supposed cost and all the regulations that must be followed and the huge lead time till completion (although not as bad as it used to be)

[white pawn]

"no no, we are russian, we will build it so if we don't actively mess with it, it will melt down, backwards of everyone else's design!"

[errant mesa]

well the fault was known, the only reason it happened was not fixing the known issue

[full fossil]

Smaller modular is the way

Mr fusion here we come

[errant mesa]

the biggest thing i saw with nuclear is we found it too early. didn't have the technology as we do today

[full fossil]

The other issue is the overlap of war materials and safe nuclear energy

[errant mesa]

Yeeeep

[full fossil]

Remember when they said cold fusion any day now

[errant mesa]

So sad

[full fossil]

Well it’s been like what 30 years?

[errant mesa]

well the research kind of just stalled

the biggest issue with nuclear isn't the safety, its the investment

[white pawn]

dunno, there seems to be basically the entire world's worth of scientists saying it's not safe vs a few japanese politicians

[full fossil]

Tbh I wouldn’t swim in that water or eat fish from there

[white pawn]

well, Arthur C. Clarke said 50 years after they stop laughing we'll get the first space elevator. pity is, they haven't stopped laughing yet

[errant mesa]

other way around it would seem, Japan didn't just decide it, it's been in the works for quite some time, and plan. it had to be approved, by the UN eetc.

[full fossil]

What was approved? The dumping ?

[errant mesa]

yes

internationally

its going to be over a very long period of time

[full fossil]

Always a bit skeptical of stuff like that

[errant mesa]

theres also a great video explainng why it's "Waste water" as such

and it's funny really, the level at which is lowest is paris. they have the lowest rating. but they dump waste water from their reactors well beyond their rating

[white pawn]

cause yu know, dumping it over a long period of time somehow magically removes the ability for things with a halflife of millions of years to build up to a slow spike, which at similar levels is somehow magically safer than a sudden spike?

[full fossil]

It be nice if some international body could take measurements. Or did that already happen?

[errant mesa]

Look into it first when you think that. and yes, it is safer.

[white pawn]

part of the issue is that the "treated" water isn;t as treated as the japanese are saying

[errant mesa]

yes, it happened.

[full fossil]

I hope it wasn’t the UN

[errant mesa]

Great, could you get the source for that? or is it "Trust me Bro"

[white pawn]

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/premium/article/fukushima-japan-nuclear-wastewater-pacific-ocean

[full fossil]

I mean it would be in the Japanese interest to lie enough to dump it

[errant mesa]

the WORLD is very strict with nuclear.

[white pawn]

i specifically liked this part "Buesseler cautions that the filtration system has not yet “been shown to be effective all of the time.” He says there are other “highly concerning elements … that they haven’t been able to clean up,” such as cesium and strontium-90, an isotope that increases risks of bone cancer and leukemia, earning it the sinister designation of “bone seeker.” "

[errant mesa]

they have to dump it because they have no room. wow very fascinating to find a paywall that is suppose to be an issue

[white pawn]

wait, what paywall?

[full fossil]

So only bone cancer and here I was worried

[white pawn]

I haven't paid for anything on that site and i can see the full article

[vapid cypress]

Tldr it's not dangerous

[full fossil]

It’s a premium article so it probably blocks certain people

[vapid cypress]

You have paid with your soul

[full fossil]

I paid with cookies

[white pawn]

last sentence of hte article "“The root of this problem is that they are moving already with a plan that has not yet shown that it will work,” Buesseler says. “They’re saying, ‘We can make it work. We’ll treat it as many times as it takes.’ If you want to put a nickname on this plan, it’s ‘trust us; we’ll take care of it.’”"

[full fossil]

Lmao hold up. There line is just trust me bro?

[white pawn]

could be that I use firefox instead of IE6 v.2 Spyware Edition

[full fossil]

[errant mesa]

the article behing behind a paywall makes anything said there....worthless

[full fossil]

What? That’s not how that works

[vapid cypress]

I don't read them anyway bleh
