[polar fern]

Just watching the inwin POC case video

[eager notch]

Sweet Lord jebus, My computer dropped like 25-30°C on the CPU temp after repasting

[polar fern]

Funny how plouffe mentions how so many cases are boring and to add color you often have to do RGB stuff

Meanwhile, over here I have this wild blue PC case

[eager notch]

M disc, that's rare to see

[polar fern]

Yes, intentional purchase

I plan to back up all of my video projects onto M Disc blu ray & dvd

Also, all of the photos from my phone at some point

[eager notch]

What about tape?

[polar fern]

I have to take the front panel off again at some point because the mounting geometry of the two drive bay thingies is weird and I think I know how to fix it

They were initially flat and flush, but something must have caught and slightly bent the drive cage that sits behind there

Tape? Nah

I also have a western digital NAS which I have yet to fully set up

I have been having trouble connecting it wirelessly to this houses Internet connection

[eager notch]

Powerline?

[polar fern]

No chance

[eager notch]

Why not

[polar fern]

The wiring in this house is fucked

[eager notch]

THANKS OBAMA

[polar fern]

Not grounded & I don’t even know where the power comes from for the addition where the computer sits

This section of the house, where the computer is is grounded, but the rest of it is not which you don’t want to connect

[eager notch]

Probably dinosaur farts

[polar fern]

No it’s just a super old house built in the 50s supercheap

[eager notch]

Knob and tube?

[polar fern]

No, it’s just non-polarized

The ground pin does nothing. It doesn’t connect to anything.

Very old-fashioned wiring

[eager notch]

I mean since the power grid is AC, technically polarization doesn't really matter

[polar fern]

My girlfriend said that in the next five years she’s getting the roof replaced so because the edges of the house where the walls are the roof is fairly narrow in space. That is a good time to do the electrical because you can drop the wires right down the wall.

No, I’m not sure if you understand the addition that was built onto this house sometime in the last 20 years has a completely different electrical supply that cannot connect to any other thing in the house because it is both grounded and polarized which means that the neutral and the hot connect to the neutral and the hot in the circuit breaker

I mean, the addition has one breaker that connects to everything so I’m not even sure how that works

Definitely not to code

Whoever messed with this house, when they did, the addition and other changes did not pull permits, and did not do things to code, and the home inspector that my girlfriend used to look at the property, seem to be OK with most of the stuff which really quite upsetting

Very typical interaction for women being glossed over and takien advantage of, and lied to, and such by a male technical professional of some sort

[jagged dune]

The fuck

[polar fern]

Anyways, I just need to get the wireless nonsense set up

[eager notch]

Assuming you still have ass 1950s insulation, get the walls insulated too

[polar fern]

Yup that is the plan

I’m going to guide her through the process of picking out better roofing and possibly insulating the roof with spray foam and then also while the roof panels are off, they could pull out the old insulation from the walls and put in something better possibly spray foam or something

I am contemplating recommending getting a steel roof with those thermal conduits that sit underneath the spray foam to keep the roof from getting too hot & making the attic a air-conditioned space without all of that fluffy insulation everywhere

[eager notch]

Also consider cellulose insulation

[polar fern]

The next step after that would be replacing the hydronic system with a hybrid system that has domestic hot water electric heater, that also ties into the hydronic system to have maximum efficiency

We will probably go with rockwool if possible

[eager notch]

My roof is getting too the point where I need to think long term about it. It's 25 years old and it's a regular shingled roof

[polar fern]

And then the next project after that is replacing her air conditioner with one that has a variable speed, compressor and indoor fan motor

The electrical has to be sorted out asap including a new breaker panel master switch for 200 A and undoing the spaghetti nonsense that is in the house currently

Right now, if a breaker trips half of the house ends up, turning off, which makes no sense

[ancient oracle]

Heleo

[polar fern]

Ahoy

[eager notch]

I'm planning on riding my current AC unit as long as possible even though it's 25 years old

[polar fern]

I would highly recommend getting a heat pump system once that thing poops the bed

[polar fern]

👀

[sand igloo]

[polar fern]

And lastly, but of course not lastly, I’m probably also going to recommend her switching to a multi split system, for the addition, instead of having it be tied in with the hydronic and central air conditioning

The addition is far enough away and disconnected enough from the rest of the house that it should be its own climate control zone, but it’s not set up that way which means that is always a different temperature in that part of the house

It’s also different construction

[eager notch]

Yeah, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to switch out since the electrical is already there and it ties in with my furnace, though I'd probably have to replace the furnace and just get an air handler instead

[polar fern]

You will still have a resistive heating coil for heating when it gets super super cold

[still olive]

So im curious so if programmers in italy or germany any non english dominant countries. Is C or any other programming language done in thats countries language or do they have to learn english. Because wouldnt they have to make durastic changes to the programming languages.

[eager notch]

I mean, you could always go mini split like Linus did at his last house

[eager notch]

My furnace uses dinosaur farts/natural gas

[polar fern]

Multi split means that there is one outdoor heat pump condenser unit thingy and multiple indoor air exchange thingies

Think of a mini split but instead of one outdoor thing and one indoor thing, it’s one outdoor thing and multiple indoor things

I am honestly shocked no pun intended that the home inspector allowed this house to be sold with the wiring in the condition that it’s in

[eager notch]

How long has she lived there

[polar fern]

Not very long maybe 10 years

I don’t remember when she moved in

[eager notch]

If it's not been super long, consider small claims or something, house inspectors should have errors and omissions insurance if they missed something and its costing her money

[polar fern]

Everything about this house has been red flags

[eager notch]

That's probably too long at this point

[polar fern]

The sinks are not vented

Yep

[eager notch]

So your sink burps?

[polar fern]

The boiler for the hydronic system and domestic hot tapwater was moved from one location in the house when it was built in the 50s to its own utility vestibule, which does not have proper roofing or overall proper construction. The condenser for the air conditioning system was definitely secondhand. then there’s the wiring stuff and lots of things that have stopped working & lots of cosmetic bullshit that clearly isn’t structurally sound and stuff. It’s really bad.

Yeah, it has the bubbly gurgles

It’s not my house. This is her place.

I’m going to attempt to install an AAV in the kitchen sink

Oh, another thing is the plumbing

When they moved everything around and reconfigured the house, they forgot to include a beefy enough water hammer, arrestor

So both of the toilet valves in the house and the kitchen sink faucet valve and one of the bathroom sink faucets have had to be replaced because of water hammer damage

Using her money, I plan to install a bunch of water hammer arresters around the house at the tap supplies

[eager notch]

So no stopping Hammer time?

[polar fern]

Also, I plan to do the AAV in the kitchen

[lofty rampart]

shoot what u doing

house renovations?

[polar fern]

I didn’t do anything it was like this when I met her

This house needs probably around $25,000 worth of work to get it up to code

[lofty rampart]

christ

should just move out and get an apartment at that point

[polar fern]

The siding is also done poorly it’s falling off every time is a little bit of wind

No

It’s not my house again to make that very clear

[lofty rampart]

oh

[polar fern]

My place actually has everything up to code

[lofty rampart]

k

this is your girlfriends place correct

[polar fern]

I’m giving myself a tight chest, just thinking of all of the nonsense that this house has wrong with it

Yes

I need Mike Holmes

[lofty rampart]

then why are you burdening yourself with it

[polar fern]

Because she has no clue how to deal with any of it or that there’s even a problem and also when you’re with someone that’s just what you do

[lofty rampart]

i guess

but then at that point just live in the same house

[polar fern]

Nope can’t

[lofty rampart]

how come?

[polar fern]

My place isn’t big enough, and she does not have a room for me to rent legally to have a separate household with my disability income

[lofty rampart]

i see

[polar fern]

Our finances cannot be ever connected because I’m on disability, and she does not pay for anything for me

[lofty rampart]

thats kinda annoying

[polar fern]

Yep well that’s how being disabled in the United States is

[lofty rampart]

sadly that is

[polar fern]

We got the worst dentists, dental coverage for cleanings and extractions only, the most ridiculous, hard to get to doctors that are far away with multiple hours of waiting time often because we don’t make them money

The United States is falling apart from the inside out.

[still olive]

[lofty rampart]

[lofty rampart]

i think social media makes it worse

at least in someways

more like mass media actually

[still olive]

@full fossil theres youre answer

If you have a free sata port you can use that too

There are M.2 mounting cards that use a sata connector for the data.

[lofty rampart]

what essay are u typing now lmao

god

no

nonononono

just say it please

[eager notch]

I had private health insurance through my states insurance marketplace until 2020 when my state expanded Medicaid and I've been on Medicaid since then

Medicaid actually covers shit and it's beautiful,

when I have to go to the doctor, it's like a 4 dollar co-pay. I needed like 12 weeks of physical therapy because of two injuries in 2022, and I paid $0. it was awesome

[polar fern]

There are a whole ton of these types of cards

[lofty rampart]

great

spend like 0 dollars

we wont get banned by the mods for this, right?

[polar fern]

The connector port on the very back of the card is a sata port, which you plug the cable into and then plug the other end into the sata port on the motherboard

[lofty rampart]

oh ya those cards

[polar fern]

The other slot is PCIe which does not need an adapter cable thingy

[lofty rampart]

their like m.2 expansion cards right

[polar fern]

Yes

[lofty rampart]

[eager notch]

How do you do that if whatever you are trying to connect uses PCIe?

[polar fern]

Then I guess you’re out of luck

[eager notch]

M.2 can use PCIe though so can't he just use m.2 to a CC PCIe adapter?

[nova ingot]

Depends if its

• M key (PCIe)
• The motherboard has it active. (Some motherboards turn off pcie slots if others are active
• The adapter matches it electrically (i.e an x8 adapter card with 2 m.2). Usually those dual one is 1 m-key PCIE and 1 b+m (SATA) which requires an additiona connection to the mobo

[polar fern]

I guess I will just have to deal with having a sore back forever because I literally cannot find any office chairs that are taller than about 29 inches from the seat to the top of the back

And of course, in some of these listings, they have some tiny little lady sitting down on the chair to model them like I’m 6’5 what the fuck is this

A chair for ants

[craggy rose]

Some of them have bolts that hold the back

And it's adjustable-ish

[polar fern]

[craggy rose]

[polar fern]

I am outside the normal envelope of furniture ergonomics

[craggy rose]

You can’t make the back of the chair taller

[manic torrent]

Ok then you're fucked

[craggy rose]

Yeah

[polar fern]

And this is literally the third chair. I am using right now and the original version of it that my girlfriend uses I bought it secondhand at a thrift store and it is more comfortable and it’s supposed to be literally the same same chair. It’s bizarre.

Great

[craggy rose]

If you are in a budget, try adapting it

[manic torrent]

My titan XL was AUD 900. Expensive but it's nice.
Cheapest other chair I considered was still $600 or so.

The noble chairs hero I had snapped after 4 years.

The moral of the story is you can't be fat or tall or sick or any number of things and poor at the same time. Actually it's mostly just being poor. it's pretty fucked.

[gleaming ginkgo]

I spent thousands of hours just on math last year and I am still struggling

[fierce moth]

i never been a numbers guy tbqh

more of a hands on kinda guy

[gleaming ginkgo]

Same,I basically work my ass off

[scenic haven]

i did a cert for software during hs so that covered 20 units for uni

[fierce moth]

and unfortuantly theres not much in the market for console modding services

[gleaming ginkgo]

It seems like I have to choose between a low paying job I hate or a high paying job I hate

[scenic haven]

not rlly

what u want

[gleaming ginkgo]

I'll be honest I am not even sure

I'm 17, that's why I am so unsure

[fierce moth]

im 18

i know how you feel

[scenic haven]

im 17 2

[gleaming ginkgo]

I also don't have much liberty of choosing my job and degree because of IDF

[scenic haven]

wdym conscription?

[gleaming ginkgo]

It's a long story but I'd rather do my degree now, because i will be fresh out of highschool

And the choices are limited

[scenic haven]

do they have control over your degree?

[gleaming ginkgo]

Somewhat, because I will probably do avionics

[scenic haven]

go to uni and do compsci or software engineering

you got a plethora of jobs you can do

[gleaming ginkgo]

I have to choose between ee and electronic engineering

[fossil frost]

been working for 22 years now... ill tell you a secret... companies dont care about you, even the companies that claim they do, and pretend tha they do, or look like they do... dont care at all... they care about the value they can extract from you, and thats it... so all you need to care about is doing something that doesnt drag you down, and that pays your bills... extract all the value that you can from the company you work for, because thats what work is, work is a means to an end, nothing else

[scenic haven]

electronic engineering is good

[scenic haven]

what if i am the company?

[gleaming ginkgo]

Thanks,It seems like we have a similar attitude

[carmine stirrup]

100% this

Companies will axe anyone if it serves them

[scenic haven]

i be doing this to my employees 💯 💯 💯 💯

[gleaming ginkgo]

I Will work simply for the pay check,it seems like fun jobs are a rare breed

[scenic haven]

just make some money and run into a forest and sell cute lil knick knacks on etsy made out of wood you chopped down

[fossil frost]

ive worked for small companies, and large companies, and all companies inbetween, worked with, and for my friends too... no matter what, companies care about extracting value... if you dont provide value, or they cant extract value from you, they have no reason for you to be there, and will drop you without question

[gleaming ginkgo]

I just needed to hear from others, because someone told me pursuing a certain degree mostly for the paycheck is a bit stupid because I've got to enjoy life or something

[scenic haven]

i mean... If someone is getting paid and there not contributing anything to the business. why would they pick you

[fossil frost]

my grandad just retired this year, at 77... worked for the same family owned company for 44 years... do you know what he got from the owner... his friend of 44 years? he got an angry phone call because my grandad was "letting them down by leaving them"

[idle nymph]

That shit is hella hard

[craggy rose]

I can do it

[scenic haven]

idk if im being ignorant but like the business is just pissing cash away

[fossil frost]

exactly... but there is this bullshit within business of "we are family"... no... we are not family... family would understand tough times, family would understand that there are just days or weeks where people just cant do stuff... the "we are family" or "we are all friends" is a lie to try and make you do extra work for free, to try and extract more value out of people

[craggy rose]

Fooled so many people on the phone

My mom still thinks that I have a girlfriend

[scenic haven]

yeah nah thats mad

[scenic haven]

...

[scenic haven]

just work your hours and leave

[gleaming ginkgo]

Wait what

What if she invites her over

It's giving me rent a girlfriend vibes

[fossil frost]

no, i 100% agree... businesses SHOULD behave like businesses do behave... but... they SHOULD NOT, be lying to people claiming they are family... they should just be up front about it... but no... businesses need to lie now to trick people into giving up their time for free

[craggy rose]

Invite for what?

[gleaming ginkgo]

Family dinner for instance

[craggy rose]

I live in another state e

Nah

[scenic haven]

yeah just don't be a dickhead about it

no need for cohersion

give the paycheck and they work

wether they work hard is depentent on internal influences

[fossil frost]

company i work for now, is 100% that... none of the bullshit... and working extra hours is against company policy... you do your 37.5, and thats it... only time its ever acceptable is if you are travelling for work, and the travel distance takes you over your hours, because thats just unavoidable, you get paid 1.5x for those additional hours

[scenic haven]

overtime isn't totally bad

shouldn't be against policy

[carmine stirrup]

This

[scenic haven]

in Aus companies are forced to pay double time on weekends and overtime

[craggy rose]

China government

[scenic haven]

its not bad if your getting compensated and are agreeing to it

yk

[fossil frost]

people have a life outside of work, expecting overtime from people forces them to be unhappy by having to change plans

[scenic haven]

you shouldn't expect it

ykwim

[fossil frost]

and its been found that if you are asked to do overtime... you are never being "asked" you are being told that you need to do it, because you wouldnt be being asked if it wasnt needed and you wouldnt be being asked if it wasnt you that they needed... so now, rather than the fake ask that is really being told, we just adjust expectations with customers and are up front and honest about timescales

and if somebody in sales fucks up and over promises, they are the ones who are considered to have under delivered and they are the ones who need to rectify it with the customer

[eternal hearth]

if you really need them, perhaps pay them properly then

[fossil frost]

tbh, my free time is my free time, they could pay me 10x, i still wouldnt take it

i work to afford what i do in my free time, my free time its self is worth more than the money that would replace it

[scenic haven]

not sure about that one. In Aus there is an extermely strong sentiment of denying overtime. and most people are immigrants who want to want work here. YOu shouldn't abolish overtime but maybe add it as a clause in contracts or a caution in listings to be mandatory

like i got a lot of time where i can't do anything fun whether its because I'm stressed about something, or my mates or gf are working so i can't hang out with them so if I can make a lil extra dough

on a x2 scale

why not extra 300 the bag

[fossil frost]

overtime is a symptom of bad planning and/or bad management on the part of the company

[full fossil]

Chat is giving me some valuable shit

[scenic haven]

overtime could also be just making life easier for the next days. smashing tedious admin work in a couple days and finish work at midday on other days

i mean its a sacrifice either way

[scenic haven]

this is what i've experienced just an fyi

[fossil frost]

overtime is working over your weekly hours, not working over any individual day within a week.. if someone chooses to work 5x8 hours or 4x10 hours with a day off... the 4 days of 10 hours isnt 2 hours overtime per day... its still a 40 hour week... work NEEDING you to work 5x10 hours, is bad management on the side of the business, the business should have planned workloads and projects better

its up to the business to manage customer expectations, not to expect you to clean up after their mistakes

[scenic haven]

you americans are weird

[fossil frost]

im not american, im english

[scenic haven]

weekly hour quotas are dumb as hell

[scenic haven]

british?

[fossil frost]

yeah

[scenic haven]

yikes

working is very lax here damn

[fossil frost]

i work 37.5hrs a week... and not a single minute more than that... but... its up to me how those hours are distributed over a week

[scenic haven]

wfh is also very popular here too

its very employee first type shit

[scenic haven]

here its set work that your team/you needs to complete and if you get it done early you can get more work for just not work

[fossil frost]

i WFH too... have done for a while... we have a number of hours in our contract.. .and a stream of work, and we pick up work items from the work stream and get them done, but we dont do estimations, we dont time track what took however long... we trust employees to work properly and work efficiently... so if something took longer than expected, its because there was a reason, if something was done quicker than expected, its because there was a reason

[eternal hearth]

awesome

[fossil frost]

my absolute dumb ass of a dog (who is still only 9 months old) has stood on something on a walk, and sliced his paw open... got bandaged at the vet, hes chewed the bandage off... and now he keeps complaining that his paw is sore... but.. because hes a 9 month old cocker spaniel... he wont stop bouncing and messing around, so he keeps whacking his paw, which is making it more sore... hes such an idiot... he needs to just understand... sit down and stop fucking around, and it will be fine in a few days... but no... hes an idiot

[carmine stirrup]

I think that overtime has its uses.

and isn't necessarily due to bad planning

Firstly, the idea that all contingencies can be planned for is a fallacy. Shit happens. Shit that can never be planned for happens.

Secondly, should some sort of unplanned thing happen, and it can be solved by having 3 people work 5 hours overtime, as a business person, it would be in my interest to offer that option to my employees as the cost to me to pay them 2-3x is still far less than the cost of bringing in extra help and bringing them up to speed

[scenic haven]

@carmine stirrup how is it like in New York City

[jaunty cove]

Nintendo>pc gaming change my mind rn

[eternal hearth]

dindendo sux

[olive saddle]

does this seem about what I should expect? I went from 1440p to 4k recently and I thought my FPS would be a bit better than this

ik its cranked settings, but w frame gen I figured it'd be higher

[eternal hearth]

its path tracing native 4k, thats about what you would expect

[west oar]

nintendo doesnt have a 4090 or rgb

[jaunty cove]

4090 is not worth the price tho right

[west oar]

its the best of the best so its worth it

[fossil frost]

nintendo have about 6 exclusives, and recycle them twice per generation, and people fall for it, every time

[olive saddle]

i mean i never regretted my purchase

[jaunty cove]

Have u guys ever played splatoon or smash bros online

[west oar]

geometry dash better

[jaunty cove]

Get out

[strange elk]

I can play switch games on my pc

[fossil frost]

yeah,its the same as playing any other game online, full of 12 year olds who think they can get away with whatever they want because they are behind a screen

[strange elk]

But with heavy content filters

[jaunty cove]

That sounds like something personal bro I'm talking about the mechanics of the games

[west oar]

its more fun

[fossil frost]

im on about the experience of playing games online as a whole... its irrelevant which platform its on, its always a shitshow

[strange elk]

Players are not a game mechanic

[jaunty cove]

Geometry dash?? More fun than smash? Naah

[fossil frost]

the same game mechanics of splatoon and smash bros are in any other games that are even remotely similar, and there are plenty of similar games... the only thing smash bros offers, is the character roster

[jaunty cove]

Huh? Have u not seen the mechanics in smash and splatoon? It takes skill

[west oar]

npcs

[fossil frost]

and the character roster doesnt matter as long as you dont subscribe to "my favourite company is better than your favourite company" fanboy mentality

[jaunty cove]

I dont

[strange elk]

Smash brothers feels the best to me put of any fighting games ive tried to be fair.

[strange elk]

You're shilling Nintendo over PC like 10 messages back

[jaunty cove]

That was a troll lmfao

[west oar]

geometry

[fossil frost]

its by far the most nerfed and child like and most simple and basic mechanics out of any fighting game ive played too... its boring

[jaunty cove]

I have a 3k pc I can emulate nintendo

Pretty well

I do go on the switch time to time

[fossil frost]

the ONLY thing that is good about smash bros... is that my 7 and 9 yo like playing it, so i play it with them... other than that... its distinctly basic

[strange elk]

That's... Sort of fair anyway. I also dont wanna invest thousands of hours learning MK combos

[jaunty cove]

Wat about all the different play styles and combos

[fossil frost]

basic

[idle nymph]

It's pretty fun overall

[jaunty cove]

😭

[idle nymph]

The fact it's simple to learn help a lot

[fossil frost]

thats stock fighting game mechanics... theres probably a unity template that lets you make a smash bros style game in a few hours that plays the same

[jaunty cove]

Mario party⁉️

[strange elk]

Also I only enjoyed the campaign of Ultimate. I dont pay to play online.

[jaunty cove]

Is this geo dash thing a meme or sum

[strange elk]

Pummel Party, Mario party is fun as a couch game though

[idle nymph]

Yes, that's what make it enjoyable for everyone

[jaunty cove]

I play it on yuzu w friends

For the friends that don't got switches

https://tenor.com/view/tekken-smash-bros-kazuya-gif-22143751

[calm swan]

fuck nintendo and them trying to ban yuzu

[fossil frost]

it being basic, doesnt make it good... it makes it basic.. OP wasnt saying it was playable for everyone, they were saying it was objectively better than all other fighting games... which its not... its just basic

[calm swan]

their games are fun asf but as a company i hate them

[jaunty cove]

O yea I forgot about that

[night swan]

hi

[north depot]

Best series ever

[tired glade]

Kinda

I really don't like how it ends

[north depot]

shh no spoilers pls

[tired glade]

So, you hadn't finished it yet

[north depot]

im like 65% done with it

exodus

[tired glade]

You almost there

[fossil frost]

thing is, yuzu are doing nothing wrong, nothing that is against any laws... but... that doesnt matter... they have no money, nintendo have a lot of money.... its very easy to bring court cases against people and win by default because the other side cant afford to defend themselves

[sand igloo]

I mean, if you're lucky enough, you'll win as seen in the McDonald's hot coffee case.

[fossil frost]

didnt she sue mcdonalds, rather than mcd's suing her though, and she had her legal fees paid for by someone else on the assuption that it was more or less known she was going to win

[shut lichen]

That wasn't luck

That was coffee served farrrrrr too hot

[sand igloo]

I mean, corporate lawyers tend to win cases even if you could point out their mistakes.

For an underdog to win a massive corporation is really, really uncommon.

[calm swan]

hopefully the judge realizes that

i use ryujinx tho, but a yuzu ban could mean a ryujinx ban as well

[carmine stirrup]

[zealous flower]

Only one way to find out

[night heron]

chad taichi user

[median idol]

[sharp bobcat]

tell em this difference:
prebuilt: Costs thousands of dollars and feels like you're gambling because you don't know if the build is going to be good or nightmare (the latter is common)
getting their own PC, parts by parts: If you can't build it, you can ask someone you know very well to build it for you, 99% built like proper PC, only costs pizza as a thank you

[hoary burrow]

i like cheese

[sharp bobcat]

my cousin once gave me a box of pizza after cleaning up his build, my aunt even gave me KFC for building AND giving recoomendation for their PC

[silver sun]

75

[fossil frost]

if you dont know what you are doing, and dont know anybody who does know what they are doing, then prebuilt is far less of a gamble... if you DO know someone who knows what they are doing, then yes, usually it will cost you no more than a pizza or some beer to get them to build it for you

bye

[lofty rampart]

[echo canopy]

to addon to. If youre using something similar to quickflash or something that allows you to update your bios without a cpu/display there is generally a dedicated usb port on the motherboard itself.
However nearly all motherboards will let you boot off of any USB port

[crystal flare]

anyone know of a reputable gaming chair brand?

[echo canopy]

none of them, just get a good quality office chair. It seems most gaming chairs are designed for (not long term) comfort and aesthetics first, office chairs are designed for posture and sitting for extended periods of time without being uncomfortable

through the magic of buying 2 of them, my mum's components are in the unmodded Aywun A1-1001, all but the radiator pictured are props used to test fit the build

[hexed portal]

raytracing? dlss? bitcoin miners? "unlaunch"?

[tidal minnow]

Aounds like you are talking about that new game that became popular

Helldivers 2 right?

I have yet to play it though cause im saving for gpu and its not on xbox so i cant play it that way ):

Patcience is a virtue.

[idle nymph]

Rip

[tidal minnow]

Its ok. The 5700xt will be worth it >:) or the rx6600 depends on what is better for the price. But consideeing theyre both the same ill probs just look at benchmarks

[polar fern]

👀

[ionic abyss]

lol linus chose the fastest 5900 series celeron

should have used the 5900te wich runs at 3.0ghz

i hope linus does a scrapyard wars

[obsidian sierra]

aye

[ionic abyss]

lol i cant belive i griped cause linus used to fast of a cpu in the slowest pc

and the 5900te celeron actualy costs more than the faster 5900

[obsidian sierra]

release dates?

[ionic abyss]

same year

yes q2 20

there is a 5900(3.5 ghz the one linus used) and a t(3.2ghz) te(3.0ghz) e(3.2ghz)

but why does the te cost $10-20 more when its slower?

also he should have used a sata 1 hdd not a more modern sata 3

lol if im going slow i go real slow

eek and he used 2400 ddr4 for ram when 2133 is out there

that isnt the slowest pc he could build

[muted tusk]

elon pc build

[ionic abyss]

let me rebuild that slowest pc

lol linus will pray for 3minute boot times!!

Im like 1 or 2 play sessions away from getting all the achievements

just need 100 missions and to level one last piece of the ship up

[full fossil]

New Apple Vision Pro video is really good, I haven't seen Linus with this sort of energy in a while

Really enjoyable

[sage sun]

played enshrouded 2 weeks ago. dont know if the game has shit optimization, i guess thats one thing too. but it seems my 1070 ti has had its time. 6 years now.

have a ryzen 7 5800x3d and 32gb ram. game was really stuttering and dropping

[full fossil]

Been running my 1060 6gb similar amount of time now

With a my trusty Ryzen 5 2600X

I never want to get rid of it

Absolute banger of a CPU

[sage sun]

i screwed up my ryzen 5 3600 pins back in the summer after trying to replace the cooler. and i just upgraded to 5800x3d. i get too brazen when dealing wit hcomponents unfortunately.

dont regret the upgrade though. definitely something im gonna use for many many years.

i was just lucky cause my bios was updated to support 5800x3d, one version and i'd have been stuck sort of.

[full fossil]

Oh yikes.

I’m starting to get tempted by all this AM5 tech but it’s all very expensive rn

[sage sun]

i'm being tempted to get a new proper gpu that can run these games without stuttering. but i dont play much. valheim i played too much in the past 2 months cause its too addicting

but valheim runs very well

cause its not that heavy of a game anyway

[full fossil]

Yeah I wanna get serious again with my gaming soon and I absolutely need to upgrade from my 1060

Thinking about maybe going AMD

[sage sun]

i never thought an upgrade was necessary to be honest. but i guess game engines just dont give a crap. again i dont really know what's the big deal, cause these games they are not that good looking. not if you take a look for example at Witcher 3 etc

and witcher 3 i run well

[austere ruin]

Rate the setup

[calm swan]

whys the laptop in the way of the monitor

[austere ruin]

The chip marks r old asf tbh

Its not from the balisong

[austere ruin]

No space

[austere ruin]

Oh yeah i have one of those but its pretty banged up

[craggy rose]

Once upon a time, adventure time

[still olive]

Yep

[craggy rose]

It's like a father telling his son a history

[craggy rose]

It's full of weird things just like someone is trying to make the history entertaining

Such a great show

[vapid smelt]

i disagree

[craggy rose]

That's fine

[cold prism]

i like adventure time

[craggy rose]

The beauty is in what we feel

[craggy rose]

It's great

[dapper grotto]

Hi

[craggy rose]

Hi 210

[craggy rose]

I've watched it since 9 maybe 7

[still olive]

Wait whata the show called

[limpid hawk]

Does someone know why my iphone keeps asking for the itunes store password?

[craggy rose]

Adventure time

[still olive]

Oh ok

[craggy rose]

iPhones just do that

When you install something

When you add an account

[limpid hawk]

It does that every 30 minutes

[craggy rose]

Oh

I've seen that with older iOS

When an app updated

[limpid hawk]

Im on Ios 15

[craggy rose]

Iphone 6s?

[limpid hawk]

7

[craggy rose]

Try disabling Automatic updates

[limpid hawk]

Ok

[craggy rose]

They are 8/10 in everything

[limpid hawk]

iPhone if we could install apks: 100/10

[craggy rose]

Nah

No phone is 10/10

But for it to get better, would need to break the " philosophy " of apple

There is a lot of Samsungs

If you are talking about the flagship series

S10 d20 s22 etcetera

Then you can do some comparisons

I personally like a lot of what Samsung does to photos, and one UI is simple and at the same time personalizable with good lock

[green kernel]

after switching i just don't want back to iphone
no fucking way i will buy anything apple again

thats how pissed i am

[craggy rose]

They can be

[vapid smelt]

the iphone 14 cost the same as the google pxiel 8

[craggy rose]

I use a Motorola

Pretty old phone actually

But it does everything that I need and it had a great value

That's the rule that I use

[vapid smelt]

still better though

[craggy rose]

The problem with apple is that, it has great value only on the USA

[craggy rose]

That's not exactly a fair comparison

[vapid smelt]

why they both cost the same
