Does anyone here know solidworks well? ( I need help with the hardware of it)

[fossil frost]

solidworks is a piece of software, it doesnt have hardware

[manic torrent]

.... I wouldn't use it.

[warm shell]

I know @fossil frost, Im trying to build a PC parts list for my dad, but I am not knowledgeable in Solidworks. All I know is that It loves single core GPU performance

[fossil frost]

you know wrong

[warm shell]

please inform me, I don't know anything about it then

[heavy talon]

pcpartspicker would be a start. Watch LTT clips how to build a PC.

[fossil frost]

depends what you are doing in solidworks, if you are just creating the models and not doing any high res rendering, CPU with many cores, and RAM is more important

if you are doing the hi res renders, and doing a lot of them... you need as much GPU beef as you can get

[warm shell]

Thank you so much!

Does it have a preferance for Nvidia or AMD?

[heavy talon]

I don't think she wanna render a PC in SolidWorks (Her father is using it?)

[warm shell]

That is solid advice, thank you

[harsh quartz]

It is inanimate and has no preferences

[stoic beacon]

For Solidworks and the programs you'll branch into from it, you'll want Intel + Nvidia, with high core counts / efficiency cores

[fossil frost]

you can also install the professional certified drivers for gaming gpus too (i do this on my work machine)

[warm shell]

Thanks y'all so much 😭

🙏

This was my first list, but ima change to an intel CPU and Nvidia GPU https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/

oops

[summer nova]

I’m joking lmao, they pricey

[fossil frost]

^^^ this was gonna be my next comment... depends on how complex what he is doing actually is

[warm shell]

yeah, i dont know what he is doing in solidworks.

[stoic beacon]

That's not the case, depending on what you're doing. The efficiency cores of the Intel CPUs are not to be laughed at

Yes, a threadripper will outperform them, but a basic gaming CPU from AMD will not

[fossil frost]

and... if hes using the machine for work... he really should be going for the 7950 or a threadripper, because spending the extra money now, saves LOADS of time and money in the long run

[warm shell]

would the Nvidia 30 series work okay?

[full fossil]

LS has a BASED position on housing

[harsh quartz]

Everything is to be laughed at

[full fossil]

His recent WAN show was a banger

[stoic beacon]

Unless you're rendering in solidworks, the GPU doesn't matter much. The CPU controls how much it can handle.

[lilac bear]

you need at least a 4090

[summer nova]

Nvidia consumer cpu when

[harsh quartz]

4090 TI super

[full fossil]

"tax the everlasting crap out of people who own multiple properties"

[fossil frost]

you sure? https://gamersnexus.net/megacharts/cpu-power

[full fossil]

buy AMD if you have a budget and care about price to performance, but buy nvidia if you need features like RT, DLSS and FG

if you dont care about any of that just get AMD i have an RX 6800 and it runs great

[lilac bear]

buy Nvidia because they are the best

[full fossil]

buy nvidia because you need features out of their selections not because you fanboy a company

[harsh quartz]

He's not asking about gaming here. Nvidia is 100% the choice for GPU here.

[summer nova]

I wanted a nvidia GPU until I won a amd GPU … now I’m team red 😭

[full fossil]

ohhhh i see

[fossil frost]

depends... high res rendering, solidworks would use the nvidia gpu more so than the amd one... if hes just using it as a display output, get whatever is cheapest

[full fossil]

yeah i retract my statement

[warm shell]

He is using it for rendering

[full fossil]

yeah nvidia is gonna do u good here

[warm shell]

tysm

[lilac bear]

told you

[full fossil]

i do like shadowplay thats one feature i miss

[full fossil]

why u fanboy a company

[warm shell]

ima try to find a higher end 30 series card

[full fossil]

my statement still stands buy what makes most sense to you

[fossil frost]

yeah, its almost like its a feature that literally everyone else tried, did better... and set up as standalone apps

[warm shell]

is 12 Gb Vram enough you think?

[full fossil]

man you PC fanatics are passive aggressive af

[lilac bear]

"oh he's trolling"

is literally correct

[fossil frost]

depends how much rendering is being done, and how large the canvas is

[stoic beacon]

A 4090 is not necessary for Solidworks, bud.

A 30 series will be just fine.

[lilac bear]

but is the best

[full fossil]

never said you were trolling, but fanboying a company makes no sense

[warm shell]

i dont think large simulations will be done at all

[fossil frost]

you are trolling, just because they chose nvidia, doesnt mean they chose the 4090 you recommended, because you are a fanboy

[stoic beacon]

Not for him and his budget.

[full fossil]

i like you again

[stoic beacon]

You buy the hardware that is correct for you. Sometimes it's Intel, sometimes it's AMD, sometimes it's Nvidia.

[full fossil]

truly based

[warm shell]

Is a RTX 3060 12gb for 299 a good deal?

[stoic beacon]

Now if you need Nvidia and somebody comes in screaming about how you never should buy from them and you have to have AMD, that's a fanboy.

[fossil frost]

then buy whatever fits your budget that is nvidia, because the nvidia features will be used better, and whatever you can afford, is the best one you can get

[full fossil]

fanboying a company makes no sense and stifles competition imo

[warm shell]

i looked at the 3080's and they are way too much lol

[full fossil]

how muxh vram difference brtween 3060, and 3070, 12 vs 16 right?

[stoic beacon]

You can try and find a used one. Or a used 1080Ti. Those are still very, very good.

[harsh quartz]

Doesn’t really stifle competition but yeah it’s dumb

[warm shell]

My dad wouldnt like used

[stoic beacon]

That's sort of how the GPU market is right now, sorry.

Used PC components is not the same as used mattresses.

[fossil frost]

not really, not for about 6 months at least now, i do agree with your second point though

[warm shell]

i know, he is a xoomer, and is very conventional

[fossil frost]

used PC stuff that is solid state (stuff that isnt spinny), either works, or it doesnt... there is no inbetween

[stoic beacon]

Well, I meant more for them, since a new 3080 is outside of their price range...the only options are to drop lower, or buy used

[harsh quartz]

I like to have a used mattress in my PC, that’s how windows goes to sleep

[lilac bear]

buy a brand new RTX 4090

[fossil frost]

ive found that the 2nd hand market isnt that much lower priced than the new market though, used market is lagging behind the retail price drops and discounts

[warm shell]

Please be quite @lilac bear

And yes, i don't think i'd call it "fanboying", but people in general need to realize that there is not one company that has a "multipurpose-has-all-solutions" deal.
There's no single hardware that fits every build or purpose.

[fossil frost]

yeah, check ebay listings for stuff that has sold.. less than 10% away from new (on average)

Riverence has always been a troll apparently, one who even practically lives in this channel.

[full fossil]

there's preferences and there's fanboying

two separate things

[stoic beacon]

In this case, Nvidia is the right call, but not a 4090, especially since a 3080 is outside of the budget.

[silk star]

That's true. I'd call the latter something else, probably, but i know what you mean.

[full fossil]

i used to use intel from the pentium 4 days until ryzen came out

[lilac bear]

how do you know unless you live in this channel too

[harsh quartz]

Intel and Amd have good CPUs and GPUs and are good one stop shops

[warm shell]

@late flax , can you help us with a troll?

[full fossil]

got any suggestions?

[dusky jacinth]

I don't, but I've been told you do and I've seen you around enough to know without having to stick around long either to confirm that statement.

[fossil frost]

preference is "im gonna buy this because it suits my needs, and im willing to overlook a small thing because of all the major things that i like"... fanboyism is "im not buying anything other than nvidia because fuck amd and intel... " guy is doing #2

[lilac bear]

oh yes you've "been told"

[full fossil]

maybe it's comfortability buying a brand

but not shoving it up the other person's ass either. "i like intel bc of my good experiences but i respect u using amd!"

[lilac bear]

I get I was wrong when I guessed the headphones were $400

but Bob was also wrong when he said 4 grand

and for some reason Bob was all focused on me being wrong

[fossil frost]

someone else also being wrong, doesnt make you less wrong

[harsh quartz]

No, but it doesn’t make them right either

[solar stratus]

X.com goes to it

[dusky jacinth]

And then there's the other ones who get burned by one side, so badly they end up just arguing with people, attempting to get people to only get anything within a set criteria they've decided is best.

[lilac bear]

it doesn't make them right either too

[fossil frost]

never said it did, but you are using someone else being wrong, to justify your being wrong... rather than just accepting you were wrong and moving on from it

[silk star]

Also very true. I, for example, use Linux as my daily drive OS and for me, AMD is the better fix. But only for this "edge case", because i'd have less compatibility problems caused by the proprietary drivers.
A friend of mine, especially on a budget, has more use for a 3060 TI, because he wouldn't even use 100% of a 40xx Nvidia.
And since the 4060 TI doesn't improve that much over the 3060 TI, it wouldn't make sense for him to spend that money on that. He's upgrading from a 1070, so the 3060 alone will be a huge improvement compared to his gaming experience now.

[full fossil]

"fuck nvidia"

Tbf, bob makes it very hard to move on even if you admit your wrong

[silk star]

Yeah, but my next PC will be Windows again.
Linux is very very finnicky and at times frustrating and tricky to maneuvre around incompatibility problems from games.
Everytime i install a game, i first have to check on protonDB, if there are known problems, possible fixes, or tinker myself. And... i love convenience. So installing a game, clicking "play" and it just starts... and works... that's more convenient for me

In fact, I'm actually surprised that Chimera is apparently an independent distro, not based on anything else kinda like Solus is.

[full fossil]

snapdragon arm CPUs for windows when

i wanna get off of mac

[fossil frost]

AR for mid/long range, auto shotgun for up close... SMG as a backup close range but also for mid-close

[full fossil]

why, and whats the difference between ubuntu and other distros

[fossil frost]

same with gentoo, its its own thing

[dusky jacinth]

Since we know Steam OS was based on Arch and older builds on Debian, which is interesting because Chimera and Steam OS 3 are quite similar.

[fossil frost]

nothing, its identical, except for that it has its own slightly different window manager configuration by default that you can change to be like any other distro

[harsh quartz]

Ubuntu is just a plug and play version that anyone and everyone can use. It’s specifically designed to be similar to windows.

[full fossil]

frenzy and smg both seem kinda redundant in my eyes, my brother and i have a system where i usually snipe and he sneaks around to do poke damage close range

[dusky jacinth]

Well it's also treated as a major branch other distros build off of, like Chrome OS.

[full fossil]

so whats wrong with that

but whatever works for u guys

[fossil frost]

for us, its more to do with that he just doesnt get that we are a team and we both need to perform different roles, and he wants to just play like he plays solo

[dusky jacinth]

In fact, the major branches are apparently: Debian, Slackware, Fedora, Gentoo, Arch, Mandriva, Arch, SUSE, and (debatably) Android.

[harsh quartz]

Why not just use windows at that point? I never said I judge others for using it, I just said I didn’t like the distro cause I would rather use windows

[full fossil]

hahahaha that explains it

[full fossil]

i just cant see what kind of utility linux has that differs from windows, as a noob question

[fossil frost]

isnt ubuntu considered its own major now? since there are so many sub branches of it? and its so far removed from debian now

[dusky jacinth]

Apparently not for whatever reason.

[full fossil]

i only see linux useful for work related purposes if u wanna go into IT or sysadmin work

and manage linux servers

learning terminal is good for that sorta thing

[full fossil]

i code sometimes

[harsh quartz]

As a general day to day user, specifically a gamer, it offers no upsides to you. But in a professional setting it does have its upsides because it’s missing limitations that are on windows machines

[full fossil]

dont come to missouri bc my work uses windows server instead of linux lolz

[dusky jacinth]

They just count it as a major spin from an older branch, rather than marking it as it's own thing.

[full fossil]

i see

[fossil frost]

i build SaaS software for a living, i use windows to build it, and linux to host it... because linux hosting is much cheaper than windows hosting 😁

[harsh quartz]

All our servers are windows just cause they’re easy for the end user to manager if they need to

[full fossil]

slide advice for a brother stuck in java tutorials brah

[lilac bear]

so Linux is skill issue

[silk star]

I use Linux Mint, which visually is literally a Windows copy. But still, some games work OTB thanks to Steam Proton, some games have to run through Wine (Lutris is my best friend for many things), but sometimes there's just no fix.
I've had Unity-Games, that just work with no extra steps, i've had Unity-Games, that for some seemingly arbitrary reason don't want to run at all, no matter what.

[harsh quartz]

This sounds like copium ngl

[full fossil]

if linux fixes anti cheat stuff that could be a game changer

[echo canopy]

You can literally do anything.

Personally for me it makes building from source easier, ROCm is only supported on Linux and makes running cuda accelerated tasks on a AMD gpu much easier, and in general has tools I prefer like btop and the KDE suite that either run terribly on windows or not at all

[fossil frost]

just take the initiative and build your own shiz

[echo canopy]

It’s up to developers to enable support for it in easy anti cheat. It’s literally a toggle they can change at build time. We’ve given them everything

[dusky jacinth]

I mess around mostly with different distros for the hell of it, mostly desktop-oriented ones.
I've gotten to try Mint and so far, while it's nice, I ended up instead coming to like others such as Zorin, LXLE, and Solus more.

otherwise... "just play around"... find stuff that interests you, try and relate it up to writing code... ie.. because i was bored.. i just wrote a small cmd app that stress tests your cpu for testing stable OCs... because i was trying to OC my CPU more

[full fossil]

ya tutorials are tedious and bore you. i mess in powershell for work and i learn by doing

[lilac bear]

I spam theories all the time and it works

[echo canopy]

The only reason I know how to compute cubic splines and Gaussian distributions is because of weird side projects I had in programming

[silk star]

I think, if i had more experience on Linux and knew a bit more about how to circumvent certain issues, gaming would be basically no different compared to Windows, for me.
I mean... Star Citizen for example didn't run on my system when i was still using Windows. One example is... since my Linux switch, Star Citizen runs like a breeze. Less free CPU capacity was my problem in Windows, because of so many things, Windows does that hog processing power.
But yeah... if i knew more, i'd have less problems. But i just started working in a computer store, so time will tell. Lots of possibilities for me to learn more.

[dusky jacinth]

The utility is stability (especially if you have to build stuff), security (which you can easily manage yourself thoroughly), and control (you decide what's in the OS that you do and don't want).
Basically, it's more power to the user than something mainstream like Windows or Mac.

[dusky jacinth]

I wanted, even applied for a job to work at a local computer store. At least I'm in their catalog of potential interviewees, but it's more than likely gonna be a long while before I ever get a message back from them I'm sure.

[silk star]

I'm from Germany, but lemme search what my job would be called in english, since... IT translations of job descriptions are weird at times...

what do you mean by "building stuff"

[harsh quartz]

If your an architect and have to use autocad

[dusky jacinth]

Programming and application development.

[full fossil]

so people use linux for those?

interesting, i only knew abt cybersec hacking etc stuff

[zinc oracle]

Someone ping me when wan show starts

[silk star]

Interestingly enough a lot of games get developed using Linux, and even more interesting... a lot of those games are not optimized to be played on Linux

[dusky jacinth]

It's one of the better ways to do it from what I've learned from all the talks about why Linux is so useful. Programming is often stated and understood to be the best choice for using a Linux distro for such, especially when it comes to testing too because debugging, troubleshooting, and other tasks have less going on in between other than what you know is meant to be happening when running those loads, compiling code, and so on.
The amount of control you have over your OS basically allows you to more easily track what happens, how something is behaving, and why.

[dusky jacinth]

Marketshare challenges, yeah.

[full fossil]

does the code change between OS?

[silk star]

Yeah, which is sad but understandable.

[full fossil]

is programming any different when it comes to the code itself, that's the question

[silk star]

There are fixes for the marketshare problem of Linux... like Torvalds said... if stores would sell PC's with Linux pre-installed, it would become more common. But obviously, that's not gonna happen any time soon.
(And for obvious reasons too)

[dusky jacinth]

Nope. Virtually portable every time, unless you were developing from a system on another processor arch, like if you're porting to a regular x86 system from an ARM or POWER one.
Though it also depends on the programming language too and a lot of the ones like Java, Python, Lua, Ruby and such are easily portable without much fuss.

[harsh quartz]

That wouldn’t fix anything, people would just learn how to install windows or only buy windows machines, it might increase it by a little bit but take a look at the market share of windows vs Mac’s

[dusky jacinth]

Well, that's also debatable too, especially with Java, but that's just how Java is really. Lol.

[silk star]

It would at least get Linux into the heads of more people. Bringing it to mind even.
Most people i interact with day by day don't even know Linux exists, which is sad. Most wouldn't even be able to use it since it's not as easy and consumer friendly as Windows. It's gotten better, no doubt, but ... still not on par with the big M.

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah, most people will see a system running Linux, potentially get it, mess around with it (or try to) and then... Get intimidated or come to want off of it, then try to figure out how to install Windows to get rid of the distro installed.

[harsh quartz]

Most people know macOS exist but choose to stay with windows

[dusky jacinth]

I mean, that was even me years ago too with a handmedown laptop with Fedora 6 installed on it.

[harsh quartz]

People want the path of least resistance, and Linux may be user friendly but the drivers aren’t. Windows is the king of widespread support and until that changes, the market won’t

[dusky jacinth]

I got quickly intimidated by it and went out of my way to get XP SP3 on it as soon as possible.

[silk star]

Yeah, that's where we're back at the start.
Dependent on usability. - If i don't need Mac, and don't know it, i'm gonna stay with Windows. That's just how it is.

[harsh quartz]

And Linux will be no different

Considering macOS is basically just user friendly Linux

[dusky jacinth]

Or BSD really anyway.

[silk star]

Exactly, why would i try to learn a OS, when i can have it easier. Totally understandable.

[dusky jacinth]

And that's most people, yeah.

[harsh quartz]

The main reason I haven’t switched to Linux is lack of 3rd party support, especially for gaming

[dusky jacinth]

For me, I switched back because the original reason for the switch stopped making sense once I realized my oversight.

[silk star]

I only switched, because i got really angry with Microsoft for how bad their support was for a problem they created.
But that's a longer story.

In short, i switched to Linux out of spite and learned to love it.
If it weren't for the gaming part, which sadly still is a hit and miss depending on the game. At least for the games i play.

But long term, i'll probably end up with a dual boot system.

[harsh quartz]

I’m so fuckint tired of s0 sleep on my laptop and that’s my only real issue with windows

[silk star]

Windows for gaming convenience, but Linux for all the other things.

[silk star]

s0 sleep was hibernation but with fast start up function right?

So basically, not "really" standby or off.

[harsh quartz]

I don’t know but it doesn’t fucking work properly and I’m tired of my laptop not booting correctly

The way I understand it is sleep but with networking enabled so that windows can still update, but it causes so many issues on wake up

[silk star]

That's sad.

[harsh quartz]

And normally it can be disabled in bios, but I have a legion, which locks their bios behind stupid fucking developer key binds for some reason

[pulsar ginkgo]

I suck at time conversion, and rarely catch it live, but isnt wan show supposed to be now?

When has WAN ever been on time?

Also, #the-wan-show

[pulsar ginkgo]

Ive heard about the meme, i didnt know it had roots in reality

[silk star]

Oh yeah, that's really stupid!

[harsh quartz]

I usually ignore the start time cause it’s never not late

[pulsar ginkgo]

That kinda sucks, ive already stayed up two hours longer than i planned to catch it for once 😅

Welp, theyre probably not that late

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, that’s a heavy dosage of copium

[manic torrent]

Roots? It's seriously never even remotely on time.

Should I remove the thing or leave it there since I'm applying new thermal paste and cleaning my pc

[shut lichen]

obviously remove it

what kind of question is that

[leaden orbit]

Y'all what do you put if you don't know if your teacher is a Ms, Miss or Mrs

I think most of them are either a Ms or Mrs

[wispy marsh]

To whomever it may concern

Just put mr

[leaden orbit]

I wish that would work in more situations but considering I've had this teacher for the past two years 💀

[wispy marsh]

Dear lecturer,

The year is 2024 and I hope you would forgive me for not asking about your pronouns earlier, even though I've been under your care for two years. Would you so kindly grace us with your reply?

Love,
Maccas Worker

[leaden orbit]

... Do you mean the honorific?

[wispy marsh]

[leaden orbit]

Also the email was about asking for resources 💀

Since I'm doing something for school, which that teacher is running, at the start of term 1.

And she hasn't posted the stuff I need to make sure I know what I need to remember when I'm helping out the year 7s 🫠

[wispy marsh]

"I would like to further add that I would like to request for additional resources that a project of mine would require."

[leaden orbit]

Y'know, my friends find it weird I prefer Japanese to English (as in systems and that), but when it comes to referring to teachers 🔥🔥🔥 that's easy

Anyways I'ma go, need to pack for a trip tomorrow.

[undone mountain]

my mom wants a new laptop. She only does light tasks like emails and websurfing. She is not very good with computers. She saw the Acer aspire 5 with Ryzen 5 5500U / 1tb ssd / 16gb ddr4 ssd. I am sure this computer is powerful enough for her needs but I am worried about built quality. The screen is pretty much subpar with only 50% srgb coverage but then again, she won't be doing photo editing or anything like this. She is also on a budget and won't spend CAD$1000 + tax on a laptop.

[carmine stirrup]

you should be able to find something for close to half that

Youtube music comes in a close second imo

[finite pike]

Well, it stood still for many to be applying such questive. Do a research for windows computers, actually you might state it Forward to be a linux.

[keen bobcat]

ok but what brand do you think is friendly/compatible with linux i heard lenovo have good linux support,is it true?

[finite pike]

Well, it's a nostugal computer, might be behaving right?

[silk star]

That's idle temp 25f would be -3c which would be inaccurate, so your definitely seeing 25c degrees at which case that's great idle temperature.

[muted relic]

Why was the newest short circuit privated?

[long belfry]

quick question, does anyone know if there is a digital calender sort of an old clock with many 7 segment displays or with a screen that you can mannage like a digital photoframe

[graceful burrow]

i dont know how that'd be set up
just 31 days and it swaps numbers at the beginning of the month because 31/30/28?

you could do a custom project with a whiteboard, cut out holes for the displays

this got interesting quick

[long belfry]

it shows the month with week numbers and can be moved between months via eiter a button to move between months or something

i know the touch screens and i got a 3d printer so i could try to make something that does it but im not any good with programming, i just want something that functions slightly like ones of those small fold over calanders but that doesn't ever need to be replaced

[silver sun]

18

[long belfry]

just something like this but digitaly/ semi digitaly due to how the week numbers change as well as the days on the dates

[graceful burrow]

yeah you'd want a whiteboard calendar and cut out a little corner in the top right to fit the displays

[long belfry]

no because id never write in it, i just would want to not pay attention to it and it do that itself

doing it on a whiteboard would take effort afteral

[graceful burrow]

i guess i have no clue what you want then

you wouldnt have to change the date numbers with my idea, i figured that's what you wanted

what's the point of a calendar project if you arent gonna use the calendar for events/meetings/activities/planning

[honest shoal]

bread

[graceful burrow]

bread

[idle nymph]

Pizza

[honest shoal]

pizza is basically bread with tomato sauce

and cheese

[long belfry]

for work, i need to know the week numbers, as im an administrative worker for a company that produces electric harnasses for planes, and i work in the training departments, so i have to know the dates for there trainings to be planned in which is all done by the week number but sometimes it is not, so we constantly have to check it, but after we moved we no longer have the space for a large calander, and i don't wanna have to get a new small one every year to have the dates of the day themselfs worked out

[graceful burrow]

seven segment displays arent exactly small

well, they can be, the ubiquitous ones arent

[long belfry]

i know, thats why i said screen or 7 segment, more a question if it existed or something of the sort at least

[graceful burrow]

i mean
if you search electronic calendar you get this many results in that many seconds

bet there's a few in there

[long belfry]

i could, but the question being here will tell me oh these are really good, and these are ok there cheap, where as google might just be a heap of shit for the first 20 pages

[graceful burrow]

given nobody responded but me and i thought you wanted to actually do a fun diy project
i dont think the question being here didnt do what you wanted
check reviews online :)

[long belfry]

im into the diy project, but it would be a touchscreen with a program id have to have some help with in a 3d printed frame

also all the ones ive been able to find are in the 699~4000 euro range

[unkempt dagger]

🥲 bought a nvme ssd only to realize i misplaced my motherboard box so i dont have the screws anymore

[graceful burrow]

got tape?

i ran an nvme with tape for a year

[unkempt dagger]

i probably do

[long belfry]

wait your ssd didn't include one?

[graceful burrow]

i dont really recommend it
cause if it falls out it can short
but
it's an option if you're nuts

[graceful burrow]

drives never do

[long belfry]

both of the ones i bought had a screw in there box

[graceful burrow]

that's rare
you lucked out

[unkempt dagger]

yeah mine didnt

[graceful burrow]

no drive ive ever bought or otherwise unpackaged had one, and i build computers for everyone i know

[unkempt dagger]

i found an old hard drive that had a screw i thought would fit

[long belfry]

i mean so do i so idk

[unkempt dagger]

still too big

[long belfry]

but the crucial and the samsung ssd's i have had em

[graceful burrow]

not the ones ive unpackaged

several samsung and several crucial

[unkempt dagger]

mine doesnt have one too as far as i can see

[graceful burrow]

good buys on deals so i always nab em for friends and family

[long belfry]

i got mine via amazon so idk

it was in the same plastic box, it did hide in it so i nearly missed it but they deffinitly did

[unkempt dagger]

yeah i checked mine doesnt

big sad

[long belfry]

this one and a 980 from samsung

[unkempt dagger]

i have a 980 too

[long belfry]

also a 1tb one?

[unkempt dagger]

yes

[long belfry]

huh, might be due to local differences, as im in the eu legal zone, and they like to make demands

[unkempt dagger]

i also am

[long belfry]

strange

[unkempt dagger]

i mean i also assume youre dutch seeing your name

[long belfry]

then again i got the drive nearly a full year ago so that may also be it

[long belfry]

i am matter of fact

[unkempt dagger]

i got it in germany

if i didnt have my windows install on the other nvme drive i wouldve just swapped it out but yeah cant really do that 💀

[long belfry]

these are cheap so its an option if you can't find it

[unkempt dagger]

oh huh thats not too bad

i am just very impatient is all

[graceful burrow]

those tiny pack-in drivers will break if you apply any real force lmao

[long belfry]

there on that prime shipping they come next day

[unkempt dagger]

but yeah the tape is probably not a good idea

[graceful burrow]

oh yeah absolutely not lmao

it's just something that technically works

[unkempt dagger]

its good in a pinch

[long belfry]

i know, ive bought a lot of replacement batteries for phones and they come with those for whatever reason

[graceful burrow]

mass produced landfill

[long belfry]

doesn't your motherboard have those cooler plate things you cover em with?

[graceful burrow]

not every motherboard has those

[unkempt dagger]

its a pretty cheap motherboard

[long belfry]

nah they make good punches after they dull

[graceful burrow]

and even more rarely do they have them for all m.2 slots

[long belfry]

i have a b550 F from asus also a cheap as board, and its got those covers for both nvme's

[unkempt dagger]

this is an asrock something something idk

[graceful burrow]

anecdotal evidence nice nice

[long belfry]

heck i don't even have on board wifi anymore like my last motherboard

[idle nymph]

My father told me some of those were used as shank

[unkempt dagger]

its right there just teasing me

[long belfry]

if you can palm em without them sliping thrue your hands sure, they are tiny, but they work great to get a starter hole for your screws

[long belfry]

eh just plug it in lose and clone the drive over then replace it

250 gb is nothing

[unkempt dagger]

im using every bit of storage i can

that was the plan until i get some expendable money again for a 2tb one

its because im a cheapskate resourceful

[long belfry]

that crucial p3 2tb is as much as a 1 tb 980.. and the p4 is about the same price as a 980 for the same size, but often on sale to be cheaper

i mean im dutch so being a cheapscate is in my dna, and considering this pc i got now is the first with an nvme in it, my last one was a 5th gen intel extreem board, and i had a sata ssd in it despite the nvme slot, but why not a backup hard drive, i have a 2tb and a 3tb and the 2 tb is about 50 bucks and the 3 tb isn't sold anymore but was 100 at the time i got it when a 256 sata ssd still cost 120 bucks

why not just something like that

[unkempt dagger]

found one

i think

[unkempt dagger]

ill see what comes up when i have the spare change

hell yeah 💀👍

[long belfry]

nice

[unkempt dagger]

its in but its like slightly too long

it has a bit of wobble left and right up and down does that matter?

probably like less than millimeter of play

[long belfry]

it can be an issue if it gets out or if your going to replace it with the propper screw and find out the thing striped the motherboard, but othere then that it should be fine

[long belfry]

i have been looking for a bit now, and its all just way to expencive or not at all what im looking for, i did find that there is software that sort of does what im looking for with the dakboard or that mango display stuff, but neither have made sense for what im looking for if im going to diy it as they need a raspberry pi at a bare minimum and id get a smaller microcontroler thats far cheaper if im gonna diy it

and the pi zero is actualy able to run it, it was the orange setup one that required better hardware

altho some stuff exported to the US can be labled with the CE if it has met the certification proces and they simply do not have multiple production lines

so just been watching recent WAN show and they say its bad to store your 2FA in your password manager

but why though? id say its better. because for my google authenticator app. that needs no password to login to it so if someone gets into my phone they can get my 2FA code with no password

but if instead i store the 2FA code in bitwarden they would need my master password aswell

keep in mine the code is the exact same for google authenticator or if in bitwarden. just bitwarden is behind another password

[long belfry]

there are quite a few that 3e parties make replacements for that are a different kind of fabric with a cool gel in it, try looking for one you like in terms of comfort that is in there librairy of parts

[idle nymph]

I've been using those since 6 month or so I think and they great

[fair estuary]

i have 2 factor on my bitwarden account. so they would first need my phone aswell to even log into bitwarden

didn't knew that... but problably there aren't any for my country

been using a $80 costco office mesh chair and it's so much more comfortable and ergonomic than anything I've tried from secretlabs or anything else lol

[soft swan]

I’ve never tried them. Most people don’t like em tho

They’re not that comfortable apparently

[lilac bear]

gaming chairs are much more style points than comfort points

[idle nymph]

Pretty much anything that say gaming on it is like that

[lilac bear]

on god

[random jolt]

using chairs modeled after racing car chairs meant to keep u in place while racing cars who would have thought

[soft swan]

When I was looking for parts I’d always type in like “gaming motherboard” or “gaming ram” 💀💀

I didn’t know lmaoo

[rocky cloak]

Somehow I changed EVERY hardware

But my windows license is still valid

[spice pine]

because it's tied to a lot of things, not just hardware IDs

[torpid obsidian]

lol how many times has ram gone bad for u for no god damn reason

[spice pine]

literally never

[rocky cloak]

Now it's valid on 2 desktops tho

[torpid obsidian]

Anywho should I buy another stick or new set

Or should I take off the heatspreader to fix a potential short

[round bridge]

How many sticks do you have right now?

[torpid obsidian]

2

[round bridge]

DDR4 or DDR5

[torpid obsidian]

8x2 ddr4

[round bridge]

As long as you buy the exact same kit

[torpid obsidian]

My pc didnt even support it at max speed lol

Intel 10th gen doesnt like >2666mhz

[round bridge]

Ok

So XMP didn’t work

[torpid obsidian]

Oh it did

Just not well

[round bridge]

Ok

[torpid obsidian]

Ima try to open the IHS

[spice pine]

for why

[round bridge]

Unless its a 10900K ( which I still wouldn’t recommend opening the ihs if it was ) there is literally no point

[torpid obsidian]

Maybe I should just go to the micron building down the road lmao

Just walk up and say "fix my ram pls"

Wonder if it'll work

[round bridge]

Lol

[torpid obsidian]

BRO IT WORKED NO FUCKING WAY

HAHAHA

[gilded quest]

You live in Boise?

[torpid obsidian]

(not the micron factory just the IHS removal)

[torpid obsidian]

Nah, Virginia US

[restive lion]

Knew it

[merry gull]

welp, my ender 3 fucking broke, never buying from creality ever again

[old yacht]

i have the ender pro 4 was a bith to setup but works great

[fierce moth]

Hey it's the guy who exclusively talks in gifs, and has a strange addiction to screens!

[fierce moth]

Rip, I have the ender 3 v3se

I wanna install custom firmware but im too lazy to manually level it

[old yacht]

not my addiction work addiction

[merry gull]

mine did the auto home thing but didn't stop when it hit the button on the z axis
it stopped the first time, and the second time it just kept going and going then ripped itself apart and bent the 2020 rod on the top

[fierce moth]

Sure what ever you say 😉

[merry gull]

wasted money and hardware because of some cheap software

[old yacht]

big oof

[fierce moth]

I've tried using kipper before but I fucked up my first bed with levelling so I don't bother with custom firmware anymore

[merry gull]

I would buy a knockoff BLTouch but thanks to Creality I give up on 3D printing

I'm going to make sure they refund my grandparents and we're NOT going to send it back to them, they don't deserve it

[fossil frost]

knockoff bltouch's are shit, and my ender3 prints perfectly.. setting it up is quite simple, and it not working is 100% a skill issue

[merry gull]

That's not even funny right now

[fossil frost]

its not supposed to be funny

its true

[unkempt dagger]

hm?

[merry gull]

No, it's not. It was built perfectly according to their instructions, and then it unalived itself because of the cheap software they put on the thing

[unkempt dagger]

so true (mine still prints like ass)

[sharp bobcat]

everytime I see 3d print discussion I always got reminded that I want to do custom artisan keycaps

but dk where to begin

[fossil frost]

"cheap software", you mean marlin? the industry standard 3d printing firmware? the firmware you can EASILY update?

[merry gull]

not with anything from creality

[summer nova]

Get a 3d printer

[sharp bobcat]

yeah but what kind

[fossil frost]

custom keycaps == resin printing, not FDM

FDM filament printing will be utter shite for keycaps

[merry gull]

then why did the second z axis check fail and destroy my printer, huh?

it wasn't a hardware issue, the connection points were there after the fact

[fossil frost]

i dont know? did you fasten the z limit switch down properly? did you have a bltouch? if so, did you have a cheapo one or a real one?

the firmware is literally marlin. marlin is what ALL 3D printers run other than klipper, and klipper is quite rare yet

[merry gull]

fastened properly at the height of my bed, no bltouch

[summer nova]

Don’t forget about Snapmaker

[fossil frost]

then why did i, who has never used a 3D printer before, have my ender 3, up and running within the same morning that i got it? and still works now, just fine, years later

after 1000s of prints...

[summer nova]

Snapmaker isn’t as simple, but it’s not terrible

[fossil frost]

people expect a TOOL to work like a TOY, and have a bad time

[merry gull]

I've used multiple different printers from different mfgs because of school, but they were calibrated perfectly. I got the Ender 3 because it was relatively affordable and heard great things about it, and now I regret it

[fossil frost]

the people who cant work a 3D printer and blame the printer are the same people who would blame a mill for cutting their arm off when they left their arm in front of the tool

[summer nova]

I don’t think it’s officially listed but I think it can do it

Just like how the artisan can’t officially CNC aluminum even though people have done it

The bambu lab printers are amazing value for money tbh

I dropped 5k on a printer and idk how to even 3d model 🫠

[shut lichen]

You've clearly not heard of how much of a lottery Creality printers are.
Could be fine, could destroy itself lol

[fossil frost]

i have 2, both rock solid, installed 5 at my kids school... all rock solid... maybe im just lucky?

[shut lichen]

Yeah, you are lucky lol

[fossil frost]

or, maybe i treated them like, set them up like, and told everyone they are... a tool... not a toy to play with... you have to treat them with respect... and use them in the same way you would any potentially dangerous tool... with care... and watch what you are doing...

people treat them like toys because they are cheap, and they are not toys. people who shouldnt be buying industrial tools, are buying them as toys, and are crying that they dont work how they expect them to work, rather than actually learning how the tool works

[shut lichen]

"everyone that's had issues is invalid because I've had no issues"

[prime crest]

Im a snapmaker owner since 1 and just bought my 2nd artisan. I'd say it's a dice roll. You need to know what ur doing, I have a crap ton of mods n it's the best 3dp ever. Stock that thing is a peice of fucking dumpster shit

[fossil frost]

no, im saying a lot of the issues are down to that.. not all, i agree that some people will have issues because of the lack of QA at creality... but a LOT of the issue is down to them being cheap and people buying them as toys to just fuck around with

[prime crest]

Slow af too

[merry gull]

I've got one of the ones that destroyed itself

first printer too, which sucks

[lilac bear]

just 3D print the new parts

[merry gull]

can't do that if the printer don't print

[lilac bear]

but you have to do that before it breaks itself

yeah

[shut lichen]

We actually had that happen too. Got a creality at school ~6 years ago, the hotend broke after one print.... Getting them to replace it took forever, so ~5 years ago they finallt sent a replacement.... Not a hotend, the whole damn printer, a newer model, and on it's calibration it ignored the limit switch, crashed hard into the bed, breaking the glass and denting the bed, they refused to replace it

[left dragon]

Sounds like they dun fucked up then decided "lets do it again".

[summer nova]

Ok, who got banned?

[old yacht]

me sry

[shut lichen]

?

[summer nova]

Well someone pinged me and now the message is gone and all their other messages are gone too it seems

[steel marsh]

also bye asus and secret labs as sponsors.

[summer nova]

What happened to them?

[steel marsh]

to paraphase from the forum post, with asus it's to do with their products and customer support. "we will not be taking money or product from them in exchange for anything we produce until we see follow through on improving their products and customer support. " for secret labs it's mainly customer support using questionable language and they wouldn't be working with secret labs until there is much needed improvement.

more detail

[summer nova]

Ah, I wasn’t sure what happened

[steel marsh]

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1551224-weekly-sponsor-concerns-update-jan-05-2024/?_fromLogin=

[summer nova]

So they have bad customer support then

Fair

Kinda surprising seeing as secret lab is so expensive

[steel marsh]

they are

even in the uk

far better off buying a ergonomic office chair plus it will be cheaper

[summer nova]

True

[steel marsh]

and i say this as someone who owns a secret labs chair.

[pliant karma]

oh yea FR my dad gas bought a few gaming chairs not from secretlabs but between him and I they have not lasted at all. Ended up going the ergo office chair route 2 years ago.

[steel marsh]

plus they will last

[echo canopy]

mesh ergo office chairs are the best and im not sure why people buy "gaming" chairs

[left dragon]

Gaming chairs are always gimmick.

[steel marsh]

i love my secret labs chair but i can't recommend them to people, does that make sense

[echo canopy]

no

[steel marsh]

i can't recommend them to people because of the pricing plus they are far better options for cheaper like ergo office chairs.

[pliant karma]

Funny thing is when one of the locations closed at the company my moms works for as IT, one of the VPs had a really expensive ergo chair I was able to grab for free albeit it had problems with the armrest but I have that chair as a second one

[steel marsh]

lol ye

plus if you can find deals.

[pliant karma]

used about to be thrown out at my moms work is deals for me if I find any use of it.

though I have been able to snag pretty good stuff

[prime crest]

Been looking for laptops anyone have experience with flowx13 4070 spec from asus rog? I'm a student who does lot of cad and light rendering

2.8 pound and 16mm with r9 and 4070 though at 60w still really powerful

The other competitor is sls2 2in1 is required

[severe atlas]

@full fossil hi

[pliant karma]

on a plus I was able to grab one of these. Hp 800 G6. Using it for a server atm barely sips power

[prime crest]

I know asus qc is crap... I'm gettingit for 1850 usd rn

So it's hard to pass up

[vast frigate]

hi

[versed igloo]

So buy a desktop computer. How do you expect to run a 4090 in a laptop. Or get a macos

[prime crest]

Got a rig alr

Need portability

Plus parsec is shit I'm bored of using it

[full fossil]

We start off green in here

Oh we don't

Why the fuck is there a slow mode

[severe atlas]

lmao

I'm a regular here

[prime crest]

It's not 4090 is 4070 and thr cooling looks pretty good. Not mention that 16:10 smegzy screen

[full fossil]

And there's no orangutan on life support emote

<@&750150305383186585>s can we fix that please

[daring igloo]

[unreal wing]

Can I plug in my power button cable while my pc is on?

[severe atlas]

i'd turn it off

[unreal wing]

Well I can’t

[severe atlas]

psu power button?

[unreal wing]

There is no display and power button isn’t plugged in

[unreal wing]

Would that mess it up?

[severe atlas]

nope

i've done it a few times

[polar fern]

Um

How did you turn it on if the power button is not plugged in

[vale kernel]

Don't upgrade on a +1 generation scheme

Upgrade on 2 - 3

[undone mountain]

Found CAT gib cat noodle

[full fossil]

Feed nood;e

[manic torrent]

Jokes on you I upgraded from 1660 super to 3070 to 3080ti

[full fossil]

That's actually what I said

Don't upgrade from 2000 to 3000. Upgrade from 2000 to 4000 or 5000 instead.

This shit is not apple where you can trade in your phone.

[manic torrent]

1660 is 20 series gen, and the 30 series are.... Both 30 series.

[full fossil]

Idk 1660 is shit anyways

:D

1660 is practically a honorary 20 series gen.

[manic torrent]

Start of 2020 when I built the PC, it was $420 AUD for my 1660 super.

[full fossil]

It's more on the performance per dollar of an upgrade.

I mean sure, gaming is a luxury but it does not mean that we have endless pile of gold laying somewhere.

[manic torrent]

I also bought a gtx1080 but replaced it with a 6600XT

[full fossil]

Since when gaming is a luxury? Games these days can be run inside a phone

Hobby is not a luxury.

Back then, gaming is like a luxury because you need to build a huge PC that would run crysis 1 at 25 fps. Now we have phones that can ru literal CoD. Even a shitty $200 phone can run CoD smoothly

So it's not a luxury anymore. It becomes accessible, just like flights.

[manic torrent]

Luxury is doing a lot of heavy lifting here 🙂

[full fossil]

If I want luxury I just went to Rolex AD.

I hsve one near my campus

Oksy that's what I wanted to hear.

But remember the saying "just because you can it does not mean you should"?

Users needs to know that if their upgrade is worth it for them. Sure it is a luxury but if I'm paying $750 for a 5% improvements I would get mad too.

Not including the fact that it could create a domino effect.

Change of GPU and later PSU, motherboard and CPU, then case.

and a fire extinguisher if you bought 4090

[opal thunder]

Damn.... looks tasty.

[full fossil]

But hwy, who am I to judge? Just saying.

Anyone here have experience with an Asus router an OpenVPN? I have an eror

Error: OpenVPN needs a gateway parameter for a --route option and no default was specified by either --route-gateway or --ifconfig options

[manic torrent]

yeah it was absolutely insane naming convention, but it was because "omg rtx"

[manic torrent]

maybe... tell us what you're trying to do and how and put the config up somewhere and google the problem

[full fossil]

Setting up a VPN to a new office network

OpenVPN connect but the above error occurs

I think it has something to do with static routes

or lack there of at the moment

[manic torrent]

Ok, and now once more with actual details?

[full fossil]

both my home network and remote network at 192.168.x.x networks

let me try a static route here

ipconfig shows it has a default gateway

so i'm condused on the OpenVPN log

[manic torrent]

except that is the gateway for the VPN. You've defined a route in the VPN config, but not given it an explicit gateway

[full fossil]

hm static route did not help resolve the bug

[manic torrent]

are you trying to route between two subnets? There's a specific guide which covers that

[full fossil]

defined on the server, but the confirg is pretty bare bones

float
nobind
proto tcp-client
dev tap

Windows needs the TAP-Win32 adapter name

from the Network Connections panel

if you have more than one. On XP SP2,

you may need to disable the firewall

for the TAP adapter.

;dev-node MyTap

sndbuf 0
rcvbuf 0
keepalive 10 30

for OpenVPN 2.4 or older

comp-lzo yes

for OpenVPN 2.4 or newer

;compress lzo

auth-user-pass
client
auth SHA1
cipher AES-128-CBC
remote-cert-tls server
<ca>

[manic torrent]

ok maybe put that into pastebin?

[full fossil]

just posted

thats the client config, minus my public ip of course

[manic torrent]

because it was commented with a # that makes it a a header in markdown

[manic torrent]

yes, but the client also gets pushed config from the server

[full fossil]

I don't see that on the log

but I believe you

[manic torrent]

I have broken openvpn in many ways 🙂

[full fossil]

Update the server is not giving out an IP or default Gateway in the config

so its a server issue...

[manic torrent]

well, it's a lack of config issue - the server EITHER needs to give it OR the client needs to have it in the config.

[full fossil]

so can I specify it on th Asus Router?

or do I have to manually edit each and every config file

cause that wouldn't be fun

[frail steeple]

hi

[manic torrent]

I'm not familiar with asus/openvpn, I have rolled my own only

You should be able to specifiy the route, and then an IP pool and push it from the router

[old yacht]

hey gamer
