[onyx crown]

[spare crystal]

Aw shucks I thought I was being helpful

[full fossil]

what?

[onyx crown]

There ain’t no way you don’t know what to get that’s how we know

[onyx crown]

Dw dude I know you were trying to help

[graceful burrow]

:what:

[spare crystal]

Youre in the Linus tech tips discord and still don't know just buy a pre built

[onyx crown]

[graceful burrow]

Why are you guys shittily gatekeeping a noob? They want to learn

[full fossil]

what kind of prebuilt dell opiplex?

[graceful burrow]

Good way to push people away from the hobby

[fossil frost]

because i know a troll when i see one

[onyx crown]

Same

[graceful burrow]

You're an idiot

[spare crystal]

i use a dell optiplex 7010

[summer berry]

[spare crystal]

That I upgraded the ram and GPU of

[agile siren]

just download more ram smh

[onyx crown]

lol

[scenic charm]

I've used a 7010 usff

[spare crystal]

So @full fossil if you're serious, I can talk to you a bit more about it in #tech-chat-1

[spare crystal]

Tower meself

[scenic charm]

that fucker is dense

[full fossil]

ok

[lilac bear]

he's not fighting static he fighting cancer

[scenic charm]

You see it and go "oh it'd gonna be 0.5kg it's 2.4kg

I use a 3020 rn

Sff, getting a thinkpad

[ornate flax]

I wonder if Asus would send LTT one of their 135” micro led monitors to see how it stacks up against that giant TCL mini led TV Linus just got

[somber ether]

Does anyone in here has the reference 7800xt from saphiere ? If yes how are the temps like?

[agile siren]

i kinda want lmg labs to just measure the TCL monitor properly

[polar fern]

linus already said the logistics of transprting the tv to the labs was impractical

[somber ether]

I just ordered mine yesterday for 580 euros could've gotten the nitro+ model for the same price but it wouldn't fit in my p300

[polar fern]

mastodon is NOT a twitter knockoff wtf you talking about

the amount of smoke and misinformation people allow themselves to emit smh head

[peak phoenix]

Mastodon is just a crappy alternative. Just like Lemmy is a crappy Reddit alternative.

[polar fern]

and as it currently stands, "x" is a knockoff of twitter, mutilated and twisted into some hyper-monetized hate speech platform

its not an "alternative" its is own thing

[peak phoenix]

You can tell yourself that if you like, but people see it as an alternative to Twitter.

[spare crystal]

I've never heard of mastodon or Lemmy. I've definitely heard of twitter and reddit

[polar fern]

and if you wanna legitimize twitter, with its lack of rules and proper user protections, go ahead, but please keep the bullshit out

[spare crystal]

I think it's more the lack of customer awareness that adds to the feeling of it's inadequatcy

[graceful burrow]

That's what makes them knockoffs

[spare crystal]

Yep

If you like them and find success on them, great

[polar fern]

Dictionary

knock·off
/ˈnäkäf/
nouninformal
noun: knock-off; plural noun: knock-offs; noun: knockoff; plural noun: knockoffs

a copy or imitation, especially of an expensive or designer product.
"knockoff merchandise"

[spare crystal]

But they aren't as big or as popular, and will not have the same place in the industry

[peak phoenix]

I don't call them knockoffs really. Just alternatives that will never see the success of Twitter/Reddit.

[polar fern]

its not monetized or algorithm driven, far superioer in user protection and the app is like 40 megs on ios

[spare crystal]

It's sad that alternatives don't have the foot in the door to succeed but I can see why

[peak phoenix]

Perhaps popularity is a better word than success. Success for Mastodon and Lemmy is just existing and being distributed.

[lilac bear]

LTT Labs is a joke anyway

[polar fern]

mastodon is succeding wtf you on about

[agile siren]

not impressed so far.

[lilac bear]

at best it is a content farm

[polar fern]

anyways

[spare crystal]

For success a standard user of an app would have to have heard word of mouth of it, without delving into niche groups right?

That's my personal category for a successful app

Personally

[lilac bear]

mastodon is for people that get angry at other people for being normal

[spare crystal]

Ok cool

[graceful burrow]

I've never heard anyone mention mastodon outside of internet groups lol

[peak phoenix]

Mastodon is below 2M active users compared to X/Twitter that's up around 500M.

Like I said, Mastodon success != popularity ultimately. I don't think it will ever exclipse X.

[peak phoenix]

Yeah, and Lemmy is even more obscure.

[polar fern]

the iea of success as being the biggest is a strange concept

[lilac bear]

that is the goal. no

[spare crystal]

It's not about the biggest it's about knowing of it without going into specific niches to hear about similar things

[polar fern]

uh no

yall hopeless

[peak phoenix]

OK then.

[polar fern]

mastodon is already a massive success

[spare crystal]

If you've found an audience on the platform, great. But it's not successful

[polar fern]

ok breh

[lilac bear]

it was supposed to be a twitter killer and welllll

[spare crystal]

👍 😊

[polar fern]

no thats also not true

its its own thing

threads, counter social, and the trump site all use the mastodon api

soooo yeah anywyas imma play some minecraft

[torpid fiber]

coffee is just better after the 5th time in the microwave

[spare crystal]

Ill give it a look, cause it seems interesting and I want to see what the API is like

If I like it I'll let you know

[polar fern]

sure

[peak phoenix]

Get a warming plate.

[polar fern]

almost all of the instances are user funded, so you wont see ads on the primary mastodon platform

[torpid fiber]

but thats money

[polar fern]

ember mugs have built-in warming

[torpid fiber]

lttstore.com?

[peak phoenix]

If a warming plate is money, an ember mug is out

[lilac bear]

imagine LTT homeless kitchen set

[torpid fiber]

sign me up

[polar fern]

an ember mug can sit on your desk, warming thing cannot

[peak phoenix]

Eh? I have a warming plate on my desk.

https://www.amazon.com/Jisiloe-Coffee-Warmer-Pressure-Induced-Accessories/dp/B0C9TRDQM3

[torpid fiber]

i have a microwave in the kitchen

[lilac bear]

if they can't afford a $30 warm plate
they cannot afford a $200 mug

[peak phoenix]

I think it's under 200USD but...I've never been able to justify it. Can't run in dishwasher IIRC. Short battery life. Not very large.

[steel marsh]

if my cup of tea is cold id just make another one

[peak phoenix]

An insulated Yeti mug is a better investment if you won't go with a warming plate IMO. Just....don't microwave an insulated mug.

[peak phoenix]

My teas gone cold I'm wondering why....

[spare crystal]

Saw a cool guy who gave me tech tips, but the ui is pretty simple and the users are all politicians, responsive tho! I've tried some that are laggy messes haha

[spare crystal]

Got out of bed at all..

[peak phoenix]

Meh, I just linked to the first one to come up. Others are there. The one I have works well enough.

[spare crystal]

I like that the most active hashtag used with 126 participating but 0 posts today (dead 😢) is ScifiACat, where they make funny sci-fi movie names out of cat based words

That was the positive quality of mastodon

[ionic abyss]

i just saw a heated vest that claimed it could go upto 250f temps is that even needed???

[spare crystal]

Yes

Optimal tea temperature for steeping

[ionic abyss]

for what slow cooking the wearer???????

[spare crystal]

Wait

A vest????

[ionic abyss]

250 f temps

yes a vest

[spare crystal]

Nahhhh

[spare crystal]

You like yourself medium rare

Those things are a fire hazard nightmare seriously

Get those hand warmers and just put em in-between your coat and shirt

Safer

[peak phoenix]

The cheap ones? Yes.

I will trust the ones from Milwaukee, Dewalt and such. Reputable companies that won't just hide behind the fact they're chinese based.

[spare crystal]

Oh yeah definitely

But never an unbranded Amazon one

One of those cheap prefabs that they slap a label on and put it up for production

They just spam, and sometimes ping randos until they get help

I still think Linus is correct

riot shield isn't even that good

just hit the feet

[heady vortex]

Riot shield is good for sneaking up on people because when they instinctively turn around and shoot center mass it won’t work

[full fossil]

and what happens if they crouch riverence

[heady vortex]

I never use it because it’s a crutch and I love the auto shotgun but it’s a very effective strategy

[full fossil]

then what

what do u suggest i do

move and deal enough damage to the shield to cause the cool down break

[wheat karma]

ok P: keep your secrets then

im watching last fridays WAN show

dbrand are kings XD

[graceful burrow]

Eh

Overpriced schlock sold via marketing only really appealing because it's purposefully polar opposite from what we normally experience from marketing
It's novel because it's different

[toxic needle]

i meant more the trolling linus stuff lol

[graceful burrow]

I don't watch Wan show

[toxic needle]

well DBRAND put up a billboard in vancouver with linus on it saying "visit shortlinus.com"

[graceful burrow]

Yeah that's what I was talking about tbh

Meh

[toxic needle]

:< i tink its funni maybe i am pleb

C: o well back to wan show

[shut lichen]

it's funny how much products cost when you actually include the cost of doing business in the product

[graceful burrow]

Deadass just buy a skin off Etsy you have more options and it's all the same shit lmao

It's all just cut vinyl with a sticky back

[toxic needle]

i guess it doesnt effect me because im not buying a skin to begin with

i just thought the trolling was funny

[full fossil]

DBrand's only selling points for me are the cases and screen protectors.

You don't need a skin unless you want your phone to look different. But again, who am I to judge?

[toxic needle]

the fact that they did a wrap of his car

[shut lichen]

quality of the vinyl does matter. most skins on the market are thin trash that peels up pretty easily

[toxic needle]

and sent him a entire box full of broken glass

[graceful burrow]

Any modern autobody shop does vinyl wraps

[graceful burrow]

Yes consoom

Give in to the so called guerrilla marketing

I have a bridge to sell you

[toxic needle]

:c

[full fossil]

I'd rather have my phone wrapped with PPF

Or simply, case.

[toxic needle]

i just use a 12 dollar case from walamrt

no scratches no cracks doin just dandy

[novel tapir]

just use a case/no wrap like a normal person

[graceful burrow]

Just grab a spigen case off Amazon ezpz

[toxic needle]

i remember when i had my iphone 5s

i had like a lifelock super duper case with screen guard and waterproof thing where you had to physically screw in the audio jack toget past the seals

screen cracked when i dropped it in walmart

[vapid smelt]

30 bucks hell nah

[full fossil]

Mine's like $51

[graceful burrow]

I paid 12 bucks for mine lmao

[toxic needle]

12 bucks for mine too

[full fossil]

51 as long as the customization promo is still up.

and i got a free popsocket from my bank

I get dopamine shot when that one shit finally shits out.

[graceful burrow]

Can you not be a weirdo homie

[vapid smelt]

if they didnt hide the phone id number and showed it before and after i would believe it

[full fossil]

Ah yes.

Theft.

But yeah. I definitely would spend a bit more on a case if it guarantees drop protection.

It's in Taiwan so it's definitely the real deal.

Reminds me of one thing though.

[vapid smelt]

But the WHO says taiwan is not real soooo

[full fossil]

I never said it was real.

Besides this fucking territory has 27c winters.

It's funny because in the afternoon, this place can go from 26c to 8c in like a few hours and do the cycle again.

[vapid smelt]

thats hotter then my house temperature

[full fossil]

No wonder everyone got sick.

Both literally and figuratively.

Anyway. We need legitimate drop tests. One of the things I really dislike from big YouTubers, except EAP, is not to take all of the cases in the market and just drop them.

[polar fern]

temperature does not make people sick, microbeeal shit does

[graceful burrow]

Idk man if it's too hot for too long I start to get nauseous

[full fossil]

And the amount of cold and flu my friends have too.

[polar fern]

thats more like malfunctioning, not sick

[vapid smelt]

and when i get too cold i get hypothermia

[polar fern]

i have had hypothermia before

it not fun

[old yacht]

meh, too boring tbh, plus risk of destroying hardware, i see how it could be usefull but not our style

"the iphone killer"

[full fossil]

Only for it to die sooner.

[lilac bear]

its cheaper on amazon

[lilac bear]

it was a troll post

iPhone models are so similar so it is easier to design 4 cases for a whole gen

rather than a case for the like 50 androids in one generation

[polar fern]

iphones are actually faily different if you look closely

look at the botton areas

the speaker/port area

[novel tapir]

expensive

[lilac bear]

I know but I mean for one generation

[novel tapir]

I just use a casio royale with leather bands

[lilac bear]

theres base, plus, pro, and pro max

and then Android you get into multiple companies

[full fossil]

And the gaming phones

[hollow needle]

i could not dissagree more

what makes you say these horrible things

[lilac bear]

funny enough theres only like three

[full fossil]

Stop it. People here will call you iPhone shill

[lilac bear]

Black Shark, ROG, and Redmagic

S23U technically counts as one but it isn't geared for gaming

[hollow needle]

gaming phones wont take off imo
too expensive

[full fossil]

And a stupid concept

[hollow needle]

needing extra performance for mobile games is like putting a 4080 in a digital thermometer

[full fossil]

Stupid gimmick as usual

Just like folding phones (except old folding stuff)

most people tend to use their phone for email,browsing social media and web browsing.

[steel marsh]

also messages and calls.

Folding stuff is more of a gimmick and another point of failure rather than something useful.

apple does have an extremly good marketing department, thats my idea of why most people from the US use iphone

not much else is super innovative

[full fossil]

I use both MBP and iPad Pro and I can say with complete confidence that both producrts are actually super damn good.

[hollow needle]

MBP?

[full fossil]

Repairability aside, no other brands can touch them. Macbook Pro spoiled me so hard I can't use windows laptop anymore

[hollow needle]

integration is another huge thing for apple

they make all of thier software extremly efficent on thier hardware

apple as a company only has 1 line of hardware, so they only need to cater to the few specific products they release

[full fossil]

Haven't tried MLX but I wanted to later in the future lol

Probably next week after I am done with creating this one model

or wait, lemme show u

[hollow needle]

however with windows, they have a huge range of hardware, so they need to be acomodating

[full fossil]

And unfortunately their feel and quality does not come close to your regular macbook.

[hollow needle]

with some of the surface laptops, it does come pretty damn close

[full fossil]

Yeah, but performance wise?

[hollow needle]

microsoft is making big strides with surface, and im exited to see it thru

[full fossil]

[full fossil]

I can train a machine learning model using a battery power and zero noise with my macbook

Idk just use Asus

[karmic flame]

Cause Linus hates discord. This is not new news

[full fossil]

Jakkuh is the server owner because Linus does not know the existence of this server.

if linus hates discord, explain this.

[tardy terrace]

Gimme a min

i kinda wanna make a mod of my own

just adding some of my personal favorites in old jazz

so it has more of a FONV vibe

its downright criminal that theres only one frank sinatra song in the fallout series

You won't, because I don't use them.

[fierce moth]

it feels like the mod page is littered with them (on the main vortex page)

[hot tartan]

respect Peyton, respect

[steel marsh]

rather have them than anything racist,fascist, sexist or bigoted.

[fierce moth]

thats besides the point

[steel marsh]

i know

but you can hide the adult stuff

If you browse Nexus I can assure you there are no mods like that.

the nexus mods do good at them

[tardy terrace]

I have a pride flag mod & i love it

[pale osprey]

@full fossil @lilac bear how is this an iphone moment. i used the same case for the iphone 6 7 8 and se2

[steel marsh]

but if you want to filter out certain mods you can

with the filter thing

[full fossil]

There used to be one but it was deleted instantly. Now what we hate from Fallout 4 is the amount of overly-sexualized content modders churn out at a daily basis.

Yet at the same time., complained that we tried to turn the game into CoD.

[tardy terrace]

I try to make fo4 into a post-apocalyptic tarkov

[full fossil]

Same.

I always turn my Fallout 4 playthrough as Vanilla+ using Horizon

[hot tartan]

Only fallout I’ve played is 76 for like 15 minutes

[steel marsh]

i havent played since release

my fave fallout is 3

[full fossil]

Sometimes when I don't play much I would make mods

One of my proudest works is to create the framework that ables players to do this to their guns (as long as the animations existed) https://youtu.be/-mKALeNLcEs?si=qQwTl7SzZXng389g&t=23

[fierce moth]

imo fonv is better

[steel marsh]

a better game yeah, but i have nostalgia for fallout 3

[fierce moth]

also, i was playing fo4vr and i installed so many mods to try to make it better

[steel marsh]

if i got a vr headset id probs stick to games that were made for vr

[fierce moth]

but i cant use a second arm as a foregrip

which really breaks the immersion

[steel marsh]

what would be useful is like a vr version of the thing the wii had where you put controllers in this piece of plastic where it essentially was like a gun

something more modern

that vr controllers can be used in

[fierce moth]

those exist, but the quality varies between manufacturer

theres some fancy ones that has a stock that vibrates to simulate recoil

[steel marsh]

nice

[fierce moth]

imo best gun simulation ive played was in h3vr

no stock needed

[full fossil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgc2ZIZx-F4

h3vr can do the same thing

as well as individually load rounds into mags, and more

except you know, the cameras get bigger

so the camera hole also needs to be bigger

[pale osprey]

you say that but im using a 12 pro max case on a 13 pro max

but the 6 7 and 8 where flagships....

[lilac bear]

RECENT flagships

[lilac bear]

now thats a good point

only took hours

[vapid smelt]

i mean they kinda are recent they still get os updates 😛

[lilac bear]

your mom still gets updates I hope

[pale osprey]

its not a good point its just fact. you have always been able to use old cases on new phones

sorry I don't make generalized comments about using the same phone case from the iPhone 8 to the iPhone 15

[wispy marsh]

See here, each phone has a unique genetic makeup

[pale osprey]

i was far from general when i explained which cases work with what phone
stop being petty cause your wrong

[wispy marsh]

It's called the IMEI and that greatly influences case compatibility

[iron hatch]

Im really getting worried, I believe there is a virus or someone thats messing with my stuff. Someone took my epic games account thats for sure, then I’m receiving random google alerts from all of my gmail accounts at the same time saying there’s suspicious activity that I should check out. Do any one of you guys know how to prevent myself from these dangers? Any antivirus I could use? Any safety measures?

[lilac bear]

do not click random links
reset the passwords for all your accounts now
if this persists I'd suggest buying a new SSD and throwing out your old one

[gritty fulcrum]

Reinstall windows completely, wouldn’t even trust an AM at that point. Just completely reinstall and THEN change all your passwords.

[lilac bear]

would a reinstall work though compared to a fresh SSD

[iron hatch]

First off, I have no clue on how to reinstall windows completely, and what do you mean by change all passwords? Even instagram account ones? Like which exact ones?

[gritty fulcrum]

All of them, better to be safe than sorry

[iron hatch]

And is there no easier alternative like running an antivirus and just deleting the virus?

[lilac bear]

virus already has your passwords

[gritty fulcrum]

I wouldn’t trust it tbh, can easily be bypassed

[iron hatch]

Okay, so what will reinstalling windows will do?

All my apps on my desktop will be gone?

[iron hatch]

Yeah but the thing is, I have no clue on wether I have a virus or not

[gritty fulcrum]

Don’t see why not, technically the virus’ code could still be on it, but windows won’t be able to see it never mind run it

[gritty fulcrum]

Either way you need to change all your passwords, it’s good to reinstall just to be safe

[iron hatch]

What will reinstalling do? Deleting everything I have on my pc?

[gritty fulcrum]

Yeah?

[iron hatch]

That sucks if I’m being honest

[gritty fulcrum]

There’s no chance of finding the malware specifically, just have to clear everything

[iron hatch]

Yeah, better safe than sorry

Okay, what are the steps to follow then?

Wait firstly,

How can i prevent such things to happen? Like how can I prevent these viruses or people to log into my stuff? Any virus protectors I could run?

[gritty fulcrum]

Back up all your important files MANUALLY. Use the media creation tool from Microsoft to create a bootable USB, then boot into that USB and just follow the steps to install a fresh copy of windows

[hot tartan]

Windows built in anti virus is pretty good, as long as you don’t download something real bad

[iron hatch]

Yeah I dont have that on for some reason

[gritty fulcrum]

Malwarebytes scans every 2 weeks is usually good enough unless you know something specific that’s wrong. Malwarebytes usually catches stuff. But the free version doesn’t have active protection though, but tbh as long as you do regular manual scans you should be ok

[iron hatch]

Okay but what if I dont have a virus and im doing this for no reason?

[gritty fulcrum]

Do you really want to risk it?

[iron hatch]

I want to check to be sure if I have a virus, thats the thing

[wise tundra]

Anyone got on mind any long CPU workloads I could run on a bunch of Linux servers to try to use as much power as possible?

[iron hatch]

Once I do know I have a virus or somethings wrong, I’ll follow all your steps

[gritty fulcrum]

There’s no way to tell, at this point it’s done it’s damage and hidden itself, even if you could check there’s nothing you can do anyway

[iron hatch]

Alright, and once I do follow your steps, will the virus be completely gone?

[wise tundra]

I was first thinking about compiling the LLVM project but I don't feel like setting up the dependencies on random distros

[iron hatch]

The thing wont access my gmail, accounts, etc?

[graceful burrow]

infinite sample blender render

[iron hatch]

And what If the virus still has my IP? Will that cause damage?

[gritty fulcrum]

Yeah, just make sure it’s a fresh copy. It should give you options like “remove everything” or “keep my files and apps”.

Make sure you choose remove everything otherwise it won’t do anything

[gritty fulcrum]

Nah ur IP changes itself constantly you’re ok

[wise tundra]

Wouldn't it be a pain to install Blender on a bunch of servers? These don't have any DEs or WMs

what's up my bitches and bros and non-binary hoes?

[iron hatch]

Okay.

[gritty fulcrum]

😌

That’s the one I use too

[iron hatch]

Once everything’s done, how can I be sure to be safe from “hackers, viruses”? Ill use malwarebytes and wont click on random links

How do I know my phone is safe too? (iPhone)

[gritty fulcrum]

iPhones are generally pretty secure in themselves. But on android you can install AMs too

[iron hatch]

Okay

Wait, I didn’t understand, IP addresses change constantly?

When I click on a link, my IP address isn’t exposed?

[graceful burrow]

deadass been a lot of needless transphobia today, so based

[iron hatch]

If thats the case, what would be the consequences of me clicking a bad link? (for an Iphone)

[gritty fulcrum]

In terms of IP, all they really get is your approximate location and device details in most cases.

[iron hatch]

No bank information? No passwords?

[gritty fulcrum]

iOS is pretty good with not letting connections through from things which shouldn’t be connecting

Not from your IP no, but possibly from other things

Malware, phishing, etc

[iron hatch]

I see

[tardy terrace]

[iron hatch]

I have so many confusing questions, its crazy

[gritty fulcrum]

Ask them to chatgpt

[iron hatch]

Ill ask chatgpt the other questions required for general knowledge and reinstalling windows. Regarding all the answers you gave me, how does that explain the fact a “hacker” changed my gmail and password from Epic games and completely logged me out of it? He even had access to my 2FA verification code sent to my number

I’ve even gotten notifications from gmail that all of this has happened in one minute, at 6:55am to 6:56am

I’m genuinely so stressed

[graceful burrow]

believe it or not you're wrong on all fronts

i cannot think of a cable i need or will need in the immediate future

[daring tide]

[barren willow]

now im stuck because i have the windows usb ready i just need to format the ssd which isnt possible if i cant see anything

there i posted in #1027757333117415424 hope somone helps soon

[carmine stirrup]

The windows install process will have an option to format the ssd

Your bios should also have an option to do it

@quick swan

[quick swan]

thank you, one person already helped me tho

[fallow pine]

Hey guys is a 250 dollar 1650 i5-10400f and 16 gb of ram worth it?

[carmine stirrup]

Just on its own?

Or case, SSD, mobo, etc...

[polar fern]

I already told you that you need to zero out the drive, not just format

If there’s a virus on the drive, a format may not get rid of it

I also recommended that you simply buy a new drive and gave you a link to one that was reasonably priced for the same storage capacity

[carmine stirrup]

I would recommend that too if there was certainty that it was indeed a virus

[polar fern]

scan said that it was a virus

If there’s a security concern with passwords and stuff just replace the drive.The one with the virus on it, smash it with a fucking hammer or something

@quick swan

[daring tide]

Already helped him it’s not a big virus it’s just a file that won’t delete

I helped him format and reinstall windows anyways

[polar fern]

🤔🤷‍♂️

[quick swan]

whats that AV called something like Malware something

and its blue lol

[daring tide]

Malwarebytes

[quick swan]

yes that

[polar fern]

Sigh

Glad you got it sorted anyway

that reminds me, I need to buy a 2 TB drive soon

[fallow pine]

A whole pc

[carmine stirrup]

SSD or HDD?

If it has an SSD I think it's a decent buy. If it's an HDD, I'd try to get $25 off

[fallow pine]

He has two the c drive is 250 and the d drive is 1tb so ima ask hkm

[fallow pine]

Its a bit hsed tho

[carmine stirrup]

hsed?

[fallow pine]

Used*

[carmine stirrup]

oh yeah, I imagine being 4 years old or so

maybe 5

[fallow pine]

Nope 6 months but is it worth it?

[gleaming harbor]

i dunno how you benchmark a vr headset

[manic torrent]

With vrmark, obviously

[slim creek]

I never looked into vr I honestly don't know how it works lol

does it use your gpu or something else

[manic torrent]

Yes it does.

[slim creek]

and your cpu too?

[carmine stirrup]

it's just two screens working in stereo

so two slightly different viewing angles to create the 3D effect

so it effectively doubles the frames the GPU has to render (and that the CPU has to prepare) but the resolutions are generally lower

[slim creek]

alright

[steady sky]

hey guys what's this cable called? Sata to ???

well 4/6 pin to ???

[shut lichen]

just sata power cable

[summer folio]

1337 EU!

[steady sky]

ah okay thank you i don't know why i couldn't figure it out myself

My friend got a new SSD he wants me to install but he has a modular PSU which he kept zero cables for

[shut lichen]

what kind of idiot throws out psu cables?!?!

oh and definitely don't just buy a random cable, you have to make sure it's meant for that PSU, since there's no standard for pinouts on the PSU side of cables and everyone does it differently

[steady sky]

ikr?! To be fair I think someone else built his PC but still, i don't know why he doesn't have it at least in storage somewhere

[steady sky]

Ahh damn, might mean i'll have to order online rather than just hopping into a store today then. But better safe than sorry, much better this than he blames me for blowing up his PSU hah

Hi. Im having difficulties finding an ltt video... It was regarding a 3d gaming screen refreshing technique that "increased" the frame rate perception. Can anybody help?

Good morning

[edgy sluice]

is having 40 to 50 degrees celsius temp on mobo fine?

[polar fern]

@steady sky one end goes into the power supply

[edgy sluice]

daisy chained arctic p12 pst fans the argb ones

[steady sky]

Yep I'm trying to figure out what I need to buy before I headed out to get it

[polar fern]

That is a standard cable that you can hook to two different drives

You do not need to hook two drives to it for it to work

You can also use it with accessories that use sata power

my parents laptop has 4 gb of ddr3 ram and they dont know whats wrong with it 😢

it takes 10 minutes to boot

[full fossil]

Be a good kid and upgrade it to 8gb and a SSD

[radiant turtle]

My friend laptop takes half an hour to just bootup

[spare crystal]

thats what im doing caue i love en

[waxen verge]

👍👍👍

[split wolf]

hey can anyone help me figure out what i should do to upgrade my pc

[thorny nacelle]

hi

[turbid lynx]

is kingston kc3000 1TB a good option for the new m2 ssd?

[elfin jetty]

I love this new cpu cooler

[full fossil]

:)

[elfin jetty]

yo sweet

[spare crystal]

thier hdd under 0 actual task is at 100%

omfg

[gleaming harbor]

is overcooked a party game like jackbox games or you can play singleplayer on overcooked (not jackbox games)

[elfin jetty]

and people say zotac cards arent great

[tiny sky]

hi!

[elfin jetty]

sup

[jade willow]

hey y’all in raw performance for things like virtual machines, 3d rendering and programming, which one is better? (pricing is completely equal.) the ram and ssd on the m2 is tempting but so is beefer gpu and cpu on the m3…

[spare crystal]

You can play single player but it's better with friends

Their ram is soldered on 😭

I can't help them

My parents in so sorry

[full fossil]

M2. The M2 and M3 does not have much performance increase

Even if there was, you won't feel it

[jade willow]

yeah i mean im tempted by the AV1 decode and the ray tracing on M3… i just don’t know for the same price

do you know what the percentage of speed improvement is on the top bin m2 max vs m3 max?

[tender wyvern]

Apple keep advertising privacy but they still use SMS to communicate with other devices, which means companies have to use SMS to send 2FA codes, which isn't encrypted at all.
Unencrypted 2FA codes isn't secure, Apple.
Apple's stubbornness is why you should avoid texted 2FA at all costs and use an authenticator app instead.

[jade willow]

i mean as an apple user i hate google and don’t want their closed source rcs implementation pls

so i like how they’re implementing the gsm standard and then pushing for encryption on that as opposed to google’s closed fork

fuck google’s grandstanding.

[elfin jetty]

mfw my 5700x beats a 5800x

[jade willow]

ain’t a 5800X just a binned 5700X lol

like in clockspeed and that’s it

so simple OC of a couple mhz or even a good PBO would fix lol

[elfin jetty]

yuh but if you oc a 5700x you can get the same performance for like 40 usd less

[jade willow]

yeah 100%, for a gaming machine you’d be stupid not to

[elfin jetty]

even more surprisingly I've done all this on my og b450 tomahawk max

[jade willow]

workstation id rather pay the $40 to ensure its reliable at its clock

[elfin jetty]

I love msi motherboards

[elfin jetty]

havent had any crashes so far and I've been pushing it

been good for like 3 weeks so far

[jade willow]

no crashes =/= workstation grade

[elfin jetty]

I know

[jade willow]

i’d want to see it run 100% for a week straight or something tbh before trusting it

[elfin jetty]

anything I'm gonna be running 24/7 is either going to be stock or underclocked

but honestly a 5700x and 5800x are pretty close in performance anyways so I'd still go 5700x for workstation use

[jade willow]

yeah it’s an interesting dichotomy

my old gaming pc was a 9900k at 5.2ghz stable

[elfin jetty]

my last cpu was a ryzen 5 3600, this is the beginning of my genisis pc

[jade willow]

but i don’t game on PC anymore and i switched to mac with a linux based NAS as its better for my workflow. my server runs a 13500 i7

[elfin jetty]

mac gaming?

is it any decent?

[jade willow]

i game on PS5 and Switch predominantly, but i can run things like Skyrim with mods, Sims 4, Sims 2 and Fallout 4 on my mac so i’m happy

Sims 4 is native, rest is through a vm through parallels

[daring tide]

i think i did something wrong, this isint the sims 4 mod i was looking for..

[jade willow]

i wouldn’t ever buy a mac for gaming, but if you wanna play something on the side it gets the job done

i’m on a M1 Pro base model.

[elfin jetty]

I've tried uwuntu before, i deff want to try linux again but I've been busy as hell

[elfin jetty]

honestly most of what i do on pc is gaming so i have beast of a gaming pc

[jade willow]

i just use Debian or Arch depending on use case. Debian for stable bases, Arch for testing shit or if i need new packages

fair, i used to be the same but after i transitioned and got my it job that fell away. now i just console game predominantly

[elfin jetty]

I wanna switch to linux to get away from microsoft's bs at some point

[daring tide]

i used to always game, before i downloaded a sims 4 mod

[elfin jetty]

[daring tide]

i switched to linux and switched back

[jade willow]

my old 9900K rig was great, 2080 Ti 32GB ram, but it was collecting dust so when the M1 Pro came out i sold my gaming pc and bought that

[elfin jetty]

"I used to be a gamer like you, then I downloaded the wrong sims mod..."

[jade willow]

i ran Debian on it, i can’t stand windows. i grew up on Mac so i don’t understand windows outside of my IT job

[elfin jetty]

fair, I do have a steam deck already so maybe i can try out linux with its docked mode

[soft swan]

2080 ti for a macbook

[jade willow]

that’s a great idea. it’s got a good base and you can install apps to test it out

[elfin jetty]

I grew up and have been tinkering with windows since a teen, I've never touched mac or iphones

[daring tide]

"and then i became a weeb, all i could think about are waifu's, its getting me tired thinking about them"

[jade willow]

i didn’t game anymore. for my use case (virtual machines, 3d modelling, video editing, programming) the difference was similar or in mac’s favor

[daring tide]

anyone tried fortniteOS nobody has it doesnt exist

[soft swan]

I might be wrong but isnt nvidia better for 3d

[jade willow]

that’s fair. i just grew up tinkering with macs and repairing iPhones. Android confuses me

[soft swan]

for blender at least thats what i use
