[graceful burrow]

Have you tried a different usb port

[wise pumice]

Ive tried all of them

[graceful burrow]

Damn every one

Tried remaking the installation media?

[wispy marsh]

reg add "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot" /v TurnOffWindowsCopilot /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

[inland oracle]

thanks pookie

[wise pumice]

I spent like 3 hours earlier going to my friends house to make the media usb lol

Im trying to do everything other than that

[inland oracle]

how did it take you 3 hours to make the media usb

[graceful burrow]

Oof

[wise pumice]

An hour to get there and a hour back

[inland oracle]

fair

[graceful burrow]

It might just be the installation media
Have you tried disconnecting all drives but the one you are trying to install windows to

[wise pumice]

I have 1 😦

[graceful burrow]

The error is for when windows can't distinguish different disks

What led to this reinstall exactly

[wise pumice]

The ssd that had the os on it died

[graceful burrow]

Did you get a new ssd

[wise pumice]

No

[graceful burrow]

That might be it

Hard to ask someone to try a different ssd tho u no

[wise pumice]

Why would the ssd be stopping me from installing windows onto my hdd if the ssd aint connected

[graceful burrow]

Ah well you didn't say that

I figured you were trying to install to the ssd

[wise pumice]

I dont think installing windows onto a dead ssd is possible lol

[graceful burrow]

It's not
That's the point I was making kek

I have seen people try

[wise pumice]

Welp i just hope i can actually install windows onto it

Idc about the 2tb of data anymore

This certainly ruined my weekend

And now the usb doesnt want to work

Its just one problem after another

Like bruh why tf does it keep putting me into bios

[sand igloo]

Maybe boot priority?

[wise pumice]

Idk earlier i set the boot priority to usb first and it caused this

It only showed windows installation screen when i reset the boot priority

Yup my usb aint registering in any of the slots

[jade bluff]

Anyone here know a website that converts URL to .APK for free without puting ads in it?

[summer folio]

ThePirateBay shout out in latest Wan Show!

[wise pumice]

[jade bluff]

[muted tusk]

you can't make web extensions into android packages!!

[jade bluff]

I mean webview

[wise pumice]

I swear to god if my usb is dead ill explode

[craggy rose]

Tsar bomb lore

🪿

[wise pumice]

:/

Like why the fuck does the usb randomly stop showing up

I shouldve been done with installing windows 10hours ago

[craggy rose]

Laptop?

[wise pumice]

No

[craggy rose]

Oh

[craggy rose]

Time to re-solder

[wise pumice]

No

[craggy rose]

🤠

Just rip the casing off the pendrive

And check if the contacts are broken

I mean, that's what I would do just for fun

🐿️

[wise pumice]

Not gooood i plugged in another usb and its showing up

[craggy rose]

Yay

[wise pumice]

No yay

[craggy rose]

Why?

[wise pumice]

Ill need to spend another hour going to my friends house to install windows onto that usb

[craggy rose]

A

Well, good luck 🐧

[wise pumice]

How to rip off usb housing without wrecking the usb lol

It looks fine

[craggy rose]

The USB housing or the pendrive housing?

I might have misunderstood what was your problem

[wise pumice]

Usb thingy that you plug into pc

But i did it so it doesnt matter

[craggy rose]

🙃

[wise pumice]

Lol

[craggy rose]

Yeeea

[wise pumice]

Yeee its fine so idk what the problem is

I wish i had another computer so i could check if it works on it

[craggy rose]

🪿

[exotic wyvern]

how can i make friends

i am in my 20s and have never had a friend

[tidal minnow]

Ots always the perfect cuppas which I leave on the side to get cold ):

[wise spear]

hey

[graceful burrow]

if you figure it out lmk

[tidal minnow]

Its ok. You guys are my friends

[mortal kraken]

Wanna be mine maybe idk 🥺

[exotic wyvern]

thats not how it works

[full fossil]

30TB in tapes

[silver sun]

[graceful burrow]

your server is right next to your bed

madman

[mortal kraken]

Nice how much was the drive

[full fossil]

Nobody has slept in that bed in 15 years

[graceful burrow]

i can see why

i wouldnt be able to sleep either

[full fossil]

The tape drive including the StorageWorks enclosure which has another 5.25 bay and cables was £155

[full fossil]

As a dare I did sleep next to it

[graceful burrow]

i dare you to sleep there for a month

[full fossil]

I'll probably get an LTO 6 or 7 for the 2nd bay

[graceful burrow]

tape storage is neat but it's not cheap enough for the average person to fiddle with

[full fossil]

I got 20 tapes for £59 😎

[graceful burrow]

but how much was the actual hardware to read and access it

[full fossil]

Just said, £155 for the drive including the enclosure

[graceful burrow]

not bad

cheaper than anything i'd be able to do

[full fossil]

And £20 for the HBA

Would be nice to get an LTO 7 drive

[full fossil]

I'm in the UK. Seems to be one of the best places for used server gear.

I paid £175 for a R730 with 14x 3.5 bays

[graceful burrow]

seems to be

[full fossil]

Got another 192gb of 32gb sticks for £110

[graceful burrow]

i just use a different standard atx pc for my server kek

3900x and 24gb of mismatched (but working) ram is not too bad

also not the loudest in the world, the pa120se keeps it nice and cool

[full fossil]

Yeah I like having IPMI tho

[graceful burrow]

that's fair

i can live without

[full fossil]

Never used a monitor

[graceful burrow]

i rarely have to

i dont run real server software it's just truenas with dockers/vm's

piss easy management until you have some obscure error

[full fossil]

I've been using UnRaid for about 2 years now

Running about 20 containers

And 1 vm

[graceful burrow]

one day i'll swap to that but my needs are few and simple right now
truenas takes care of the vm's and network storage gracefully and im able to use jellyfin through docker

have two servers running for friends games on it from the vm's as well

[sweet bison]

Usb wifi card vs

Pcie wifi card

[pliant karma]

aye using the spare bedroom as a server room I see

[full fossil]

Precisely

[pliant karma]

basically me converting the spare bedroom that is rarely used to a storage office with my servers

[pliant karma]

the room next to that bedroom is the one guest use to sleep which is problem sometimes since the room I have the servers in is not noise isolated

and my office is down the hall

[full fossil]

I sleep in the room next to it

Almost inaudible

[pliant karma]

lol

[pliant karma]

on a plus I have the whole corridor to myself my parents and grandparents sleep in a different section

since we expanded the house with a new section. I just took over the old section

[full fossil]

My grandmother just puts earplugs in 🤪

[pliant karma]

[full fossil]

Idle power consumption is 600w 😭

[pliant karma]

ehhh sounds about right for me too when I have all 3 servers in operation

I've been moving to smaller mini pcs now so the idle power is closer to 150w with 3 systems

[full fossil]

I just have the single server and 2 arrays and the tape drive

All the networking gear is only about 45w

[pliant karma]

my render system not so much of a difference in power consumption

5800x just chomps away at cpu encoding

[full fossil]

Dual Xeon E5 2630 v4

I wanna get some lower tdp chips

[vapid smelt]

Damn there are no phones with a headphone jack that gets 6 years of software updates 😢

[full fossil]

I bought a galaxy tab s9 ultra

14" tablet with no headphone jack 😭😭😭

[vapid smelt]

That should be illegal

[full fossil]

Agreed

Using excel to keep track of Plex backups to tape

[hot bobcat]

i wanna get a router for my room to extend th signal of the router in the living room which one do i get that has that repeater mode

[elfin solar]

600w idle? Your electricity bill must be tear inducing.

[ionic abyss]

so linus bought a outdated projector?

[pliant karma]

Mines is already like that wassup lol

Winter/Autumn months worse then spring/summer

[lilac bear]

got them seasonal pronouns

[wise pumice]

FINALLLY

Day of troubleshooting .. now itll just be a week of redownloading my 2tb of data

[olive iron]

Is it okay if my aio fans spin this way

That’s the airflow direction

[whole swallow]

you'd be blowing heated air into the case

your temps are gonna be higher than they normally would and it'll be pretty inefficient

[graceful burrow]

Send a photo of the face of the fan

So we can actually tell what way they're spinning

[wise pumice]

welp finally reinstalled windows i only need mobo and gpu drivers right?

[graceful burrow]

You need drivers for the devices you have installed kek

[wise pumice]

what devices lol

ah ffs ill have to go to bios to make ram 3200mhz

[compact trout]

just bought 7800x3d bundle from microcenter🙏

[graceful burrow]

Nice

[compact trout]

well not me but a friend

now i gotta wait for him to come back from the US

🙏

with working parts lol

[quartz jungle]

anyone interested in playing some gartic phone?

[hot carbon]

I’m finally joining pcmr

[compact trout]

noicee

[hot carbon]

Hopefully I will have the rest of the parts either this month or the next one

[compact trout]

ooo

specs?

[hot carbon]

7800x3d

4080 super

32gb ram (forgot the speed lmao)

[compact trout]

noiicee

[hot carbon]

And a white mobo

I’m building it all in a phanteks nv5

With nzxt kraken elite and lian li uni fans

[compact trout]

i am planning to get the 4070 with the 7800x3d 32gb 6000mhz and a the lian li vision case

[hot carbon]

Nice

[compact trout]

why the nv5?

[hot carbon]

It was a lot cheaper than other cases where I live

[compact trout]

ah okay

[hot carbon]

I was originally going to get the o11 but then I saw the nv5 and well there was no turning back

[compact trout]

here the the nv5 is like 100 and the vision is 125

[hot carbon]

I might switch to the h9 flow someday in the future

[compact trout]

the montech king 95 is also 125 with fans

[hot carbon]

Ooo

[compact trout]

the h9 flow is like 170 here

becomes out of budget

[hot carbon]

But I ended up getting lian li fans so we ballin

[compact trout]

i also prefer the looks of the vision

[hot carbon]

Yeah me too

[compact trout]

i am debating on getting the white one or chrome

[hot carbon]

White parts are more expensive

[compact trout]

ye

the gpu i am getting is gonna be white

[hot carbon]

My gpu is white

[compact trout]

i havent decided on a cooler yet]

[hot carbon]

I made a pretty bad financial decision Ngl

[compact trout]

but i was thinking white internals and a black case

with white rgb would look dope

[hot carbon]

How much are you willing to spend on the cooler?

[compact trout]

and fully blacked out when off

[hot carbon]

If you have enough the nzxt kraken elite is pretty cool

[compact trout]

i am not sure

[hot carbon]

You can also get an arctic liquid cooler, it’s cheap and pretty good

Not as good looking tho

Or an air cooler

[compact trout]

I am not gonna be looking at my pc much anyways

Cuz it's gonna be in a cabinet

Just needs to look decent

When I open the cabinet

[wise pumice]

i now know the pain of os on hdd

[hearty plover]

https://x.com/demonslayerusa/status/1766472817225171215?s=46

[outer pollen]

so we’re not talking about Linus' top picks being “1 billion orgasms”?

[vapid smelt]

It's for research

[eager notch]

Damnit, you beat me to that

[peak phoenix]

"A middle-aged engineer decides to prove his worth by inventing a device he dreams will make him responsible for one billion orgasms."

omg its a documentary

[ionic raft]

Yo i got a question. If i buy the 14 day gamepass trial and cancel the automatic payment immediately, then i won't pay more than 1$ right? Or does the subscription continue till the end of the month so i need to pay 15$?

[long briar]

Depends on where you live iirc, but most places is you only pay when the trial is over

so you can buy, cancel immediately and use for 14 days

[ionic raft]

Already bought it but thanks for your help

[rapid rapids]

Hi

[acoustic stratus]

you know, for a second there you had me

well played sir. well played

[sharp shuttle]

hii

[full fossil]

I need more storage

[wise pumice]

Wtf i reinstalled windows onto my hdd and now it takes like 5 minutes to do any action

[full fossil]

can anyone Recommend a good white motherboard for AMD CPU’s that can handle rtx 40 series for around 300$?

[left venture]

damn what

[wise pumice]

Thats what im sayin

Literally loaded back in and i cant open anything... I clicked opera icon 3min ago and nothing has happened

[night heron]

thats how using modern windows on an old hard drive is

you need to buy a ssd to use for your operating system

[wise pumice]

I did have an ssd

It died :/

I knew boot times will increase but this is literally unusable

Not being able to open even. A browser

[muted tusk]

Windows 11 basically requires an SSD to use

[wise pumice]

I use win10

[muted tusk]

[wise pumice]

Im pretty sure my specs didnt even qualify for win11

I wouldnt want to upgrade anyways

I dont get how a hdd can just make everything either not work or take 10minutes to load

[left venture]

tbh it was like 8th gen intel minimum but the actual runnable specs are like anything newer than a core 2

[muted tusk]

the 8th gen thing is arbitrary

like oh sure an 8th gen i3 and an 8th gen i9 run the same spec

[wise pumice]

My hdd must be broken or something no way its this slow

[muted tusk]

you could do a crystaldisk check

[wanton fractal]

you can use it as 2nd drive

[wise pumice]

How

Ive been watching opera load for the past 10min

[left venture]

u can run it on older ones, its just missing something like tmp 2.0 iirc

[outer pollen]

hehe :p

[wise pumice]

Ye i think my hdd is fucked

[outer pollen]

maybe yeah

is it making any noise? lol

[dire hill]

How can I make it so my old windows? Key follows my new boot windows?

[wise pumice]

Its always made noise lol

Im opening casing rn

[muted tusk]

HDDs naturally make noise

[outer pollen]

Wdym

You extract the key from the old windows, use it to activate the new windows

I think... I mean I'm no expert lol

[wise pumice]

Bruhhh why is this so slow

Well i wish it was slow... This just doesnt load anything

It all happened after i installed amd adrenaline drivers

Literally i can click on file explorer it works instantly but i click on search button in bottom left and nothing happens

Fuck it im reinstalling windows again

[chrome vector]

[wise pumice]

Its been stuck on getting ready if i unplug usb whilst installing windows will my pc explode

[full fossil]

you referring to the installer usb?

[wise pumice]

Ye media creation tool

I think i literally need a new storage device both my ssd and hdd are fucked

[full fossil]

ah well yeah you can remove it ig its on windows logo and getting ready

[full fossil]

check smart data when you can

[wise pumice]

I literally cant install windows now lol

[full fossil]

rip

[wise pumice]

Earlier my pc wasnt loading anything i spent 30min waiting for opera to load and nothing happened so i tried redownloading windows

[full fossil]

yeah sounds like your drive is toast

[wise pumice]

Which is just lovely

My ssd and hdd dying in the same day

[full fossil]

ive got 3 dead 6tb drives and a dead 12tb on my windows sil lol

all SAS

[wise pumice]

Welp a 12tb costs probably the same as half my pc

[harsh quartz]

I’ve been seeing this a lot on windows recently, the search bar doesn’t work but if you click the windows logo and start typing it works

[full fossil]

I paid about £100 each for my 12TB drives

[gilded forge]

try linux

[wise pumice]

Damn thats cheap

[wise pumice]

Well literally none of the apps i had worked and would be forever loading

Now its just stuck showing me logo of my mobo.

[harsh quartz]

Did you check for corrupted windows? A reinstall should also fix that but repairing corruption is faster

[wise pumice]

I literally installed windows 20min before that happened

[wise pumice]

And i am currently trying to reinstall windows

[harsh quartz]

Doesn’t matter, windows is stupid and is always trying to unalive itself whenever it sees an opportunity

[wise pumice]

I do love spending around 12 hours troubleshooting

And all ive ended up with is a stuck logo

[harsh quartz]

I still use windows just cause it usually requires less troubleshooting than the others, just have to accept that it’s bad

[full fossil]

Boot a Linux usb and check smart data

[wise pumice]

I dont know how to even install linux

And i cant install anything rn because its midnight and i doubt my friend is awake

[harsh quartz]

Might wanna get into bios and see if it’s even detecting the boot Os drive at all

[full fossil]

Scream at him. Then there won't be any doubt.

[hollow wren]

i've spent months troubleshooting my old windows install; i just had to do a clean install and copy paste app data and other system data and progress from there

[wise pumice]

This is a clean windows install

[thin fjord]

Same I reinstalled windows and had no issues since

[harsh quartz]

I use a second drive for any extra data just cause I know I have to wipe my C drive every 1-2 years or so

[thin fjord]

I thought clean implied you wipe all of your data aswell

[wise pumice]

I thought formatting hdd was going to fix one of the 50 problems i had so i did that

Worst part is i have no money for new storage so ill be stuck with no pc for a couple of months

[hollow wren]

I just end up upgrading my C drive to something better to prevent that

speaking of what's the best way to move a windows install to a bigger ssd? cloning doesn't work because it keeps the partition sizes the same

[hollow wren]

i had to pull data from a dying hdd the other week; i found a recovery tool that made it readable long enough to get the important stuff out

[full fossil]

There are plenty of cloning tools that can move windows to a smaller partition

[hollow wren]

but i want bigger

[full fossil]

Ah brain fart

Just use any cloning tool

You can resize partitions after

[wise pumice]

I cant even get into bios :/

[full fossil]

Can you if you unplug drive?

[wise pumice]

I really want to throw this pc away and get a new one but i cannot

[full fossil]

A fucked drive can cause bios to stall

I had a Seagate drive die on day 2 and couldn't even post with it connected

Typical Seagate

[wise pumice]

Oh for fucks sake this means hdd is definetly dead then

It instantly went into bios

After unplugging hdd

[full fossil]

There you go

At least you know it's definitely the drive now

[wise pumice]

Yay bios

[hearty steppe]

can someone pls help me with pc issue on Fortnite

check tech support

[full fossil]

You play Fortnite, that's the issue

😝

[hearty steppe]

haha so funny grandpa

[wise pumice]

I got my account disabled for a week once because i said that lol

[full fossil]

Uh oh

[wise pumice]

Maybe my ssd aint dead i switched hdd with ssd that i thought was dead and now im apparently installing windows

I dont know what to trust anymore

[full fossil]

Unless you write lots of data modern SSDs don't die anywhere near as often

[wise pumice]

Its smol

256gb. I heard they die faster

[hollow wren]

if you can boot into linux via working usb, you can possibly use one of these tools (I think i used TestDisk ) then it might be possible to restore their functionality if only temporary

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/top-best-linux-data-recovery-tools

[full fossil]

Capacity is irrelevant. It's the type of flash storage that's relevant, SLC, MLC, eMLC, TLC, QLC

QLC is the worst for endurance but offers the highest density

SLC will basically last forever but you won't find it in modern SSDs anymore

[wise pumice]

Idk its su800 adata

[hollow wren]

so you're saying making a 4tb ssd drive my c drive is a bad idea?

[full fossil]

I mean it'll be fine unless you keep filling it up and erasing it over and over again

Or do heavy chaching

[wise pumice]

Ya know what if i can install windows ill be happy even with the 256gb limit

[full fossil]

DRAMless SSD. Rated for 200TB TBW apparently

It's TLC

My glimmer of hope just died

Ssd aint showing up in windows installation

[hollow wren]

if you can access cmd line you can run the disk scan commands to see if it shows up there

[full fossil]

Check diskpart

Also if you have it set to raid in bios that won't help

[wise pumice]

Bios is default

I want to sleep but i want to wake up with a working pc

[full fossil]

I know the feeling lol

[wise pumice]

Welp i spent like 7 hours until it was 2am doing this yesterday

[craggy rose]

🐥

[craggy rose]

Bro

[wise pumice]

No bro

[craggy rose]

Haven't you figure out the pendrive thingy?

[wise pumice]

What pendrive thingy

[craggy rose]

You aren't trying to install windows

[wise pumice]

I am

I did twice already lol

[full fossil]

Shft + F10 to open command prompt.

Type diskpart and hit enter

Type "list disk" and hit enter. See what drives show up

[craggy rose]

Oh

So that isn't the problem

[wise pumice]

Great now i got error 0x80070057 which i think is what i got yesterday

For the command prompt it shows the same disks as windows installation menu does

[craggy rose]

Are you trying to get your 3 year old ssd to show up?

[wise pumice]

Meh im trying to get a working pc

Ssd or hdd i dont care anymore

Ssd hasnt shown up in anything so i think its gone 1000%. The hdd is 50 50

[craggy rose]

Well, him is already helping you step by step

I'm gonna sleep, good luck my friend

[wise pumice]

Ye i did that lol

[craggy rose]

I didn't see, sorry

[wise pumice]

.

[full fossil]

Post what the CMD is show

[craggy rose]

Civilization 6 nuked hard the PC

[full fossil]

A photo

[craggy rose]

🤠

Good luck

[full fossil]

So assuming SSD is 0. Type "select disk 0"

Then type "clear" this wipes the SSD btw

[wise pumice]

Its my hdd lol ssd hasnt shown life since yesterday

[still olive]

While I'm setting up Adguard home what interface do I do
lo
Or wlo1

[wise pumice]

Ill wipe

[full fossil]

Oh, rip

And this is why I like to figure out the problem before I start wiping shit and reinstalling

And because of that I haven't resorted to reinstalling windows in years

[wise pumice]

When i put clear it just lists commands

Also the error code that i get when i try to install aint the same one i got earlier today

0x80070057

[full fossil]

Oh I meant clean

Or just cle will do

[hearty plover]

https://youtu.be/5ov1Mm08ifE?si=Am4aRotcO_vtxLZj

[wise pumice]

Interesting

It doesnt exist

[full fossil]

Type list disk again. Does it show the same disks?

[wise pumice]

Yup

Schroedinger's hardrive. It exists and doesnt at the same time

[dire hill]

Uhm

my hard drive aint detected

and i reinstalled windows

[wise pumice]

Ayeee twins

[dire hill]

it happened after so i know its not hardware

[full fossil]

Something is definitely borked

Type exit to exit diskpart

Then type

wmic diskdrive get status

Hit enter

[wise pumice]

Status
OK
OK
OK

I might just give up and go to sleep

Thanks for the help

[pliant karma]

I was able to get win11 on 6th gen intel cpus lol

oh yea and pre ryzen apus 🙂

[wispy marsh]

I've been watching Linus since Langley. How did I not notice dbrand's logo is a pair of bollocks?

[thin tulip]

RTX 5090 is rumored to have a tdp of 600W.

what did you think the D stood for

Oh my god

[carmine stirrup]

Dual CPU custom looooop!

Shaved about 25c off the CPU temps 🙂

[hearty spear]

please tell me that setup has more RAM and this is just for testing

[chrome vector]

That looks really nice. What are you using it for?

Also, can I borrow a CPU?

[harsh quartz]

Where’s the rest of the loop?

[full fossil]

how many cores you got including logical ones?

I am curious

[tepid herald]

yeehaw

[full fossil]

lol I got that ONN walmart perferals drip

[carmine stirrup]

That's 64GB

[carmine stirrup]

Right now it's running folding@home, but it's also a backup AI machine

[carmine stirrup]

That system is 44 cores, 88 threads

[tepid herald]

with current electricity costs running folding@home would literally bankrupt me

[pure olive]

What cpus

Oh lmao 2699v4

[carmine stirrup]

E5-2696 V4s

Which are basically the same as 2699s

[pure olive]

Even the laptop in the background 😂

[carmine stirrup]

Where I live, it's 9c/kwh

[pure olive]

Why does hwinfo say 2699 then

[tepid herald]

what laptop lmao

[tepid herald]

used to be dirt cheap in norway but uknow putler and stuff

[pure olive]

Oh whatever the screen up top is

[carmine stirrup]

Because it's confused.

[tepid herald]

7inch rasperberry pi screen

[pure olive]

Mmmmm

[tepid herald]

basically just to tell time lmao

[full fossil]

dang lol

[carmine stirrup]

It's an oem version of the 2699, so it gets misreported on some apps

[pure olive]

Got loop too?

[tepid herald]

nah aio

[carmine stirrup]

Asking me?

[pure olive]

Yes

Meant gpu loop

[carmine stirrup]

Yup, that's what's on the left

[harsh quartz]

[carmine stirrup]

It's going to cool multiple systems

[carmine stirrup]

Yeah, that can be a pain

[pure olive]

Parallel or serial

[carmine stirrup]

Parallel

[harsh quartz]

I assumed that was why it was an external unit, just haven’t see it very often. I was legitimately curious if you just had it crammed into the back of the case or something

[old yacht]

this is my personal opinion, but I hate WFH

[full fossil]

I understand but here in the gulf (more really only my company) we have a schedule like 3 days work 2 days wfh for corporate reasons

no one likes wfh to be honest it sucked and still sucks

this is me assuming a public opinion, but im just saying

[rapid jackal]

I did wfh for a call center for 5 years...

[rapid jackal]

I'd love to do it again...really just to have some income again

[old yacht]

I think WFH is bad for business and employee tbh

[full fossil]

that's painful just to listen to

[alpine gale]

Depends entirely on the business and individual preferences. I too did 5 years WFH in a call centre role. WFH was way better for my mental health than being in the office... until I found out that few were properly trained on using the Office 365 platform properly. Then it was like I suddenly took on my regular job duties and served as the defacto "here's how you can avoid using email attachments" Office 365 training person.

[old yacht]

for sure there are always preferences and edge cases

[full fossil]

yeah it doesnt give you a feel of what the environment's like in the actual office

[rapid jackal]

and you get way more work done w/o boss breathing down your neck

[old yacht]

but literally everyjob Ive worked has been better in person for collab reasons, health reason, and productivity reasons

[full fossil]

you can't grasp the way of things when you go online everything gets halted

[alpine gale]

Yee. That said, I agree: something like a photographer, videographer, brain surgeon, or similar kiiiinda needs to be done in person. For obvious reasons. 🤣 Some other types of jobs (like those in the creative, technical writing, or remote IT management industries) can be done 95% remote... if everyone is on board.

[old yacht]

see this is a bad work environment if you worry about boss breathing down ur neck imo

I get WAY less work done if I wFH, (I havent yet since starting at LMG) but at my old job I got less done

[rapid jackal]

I see you haven't worked in the call center's I have.

[old yacht]

I did IT support, so not a call center, but something that could have been done WFH

[restive lion]

Call centres are something else

[rapid jackal]

one day a long time ago I worked for a call center for a phone manufacturer and we're all there taking calls (on site) and one of the supervisors YELLS "WE HAVE CALLS IN QUEUE"

like biiiiitch?

that was the beginning of the end for me.

I left the day walked in and they failed me (this is going to seem like a really small thing) on a call for not reading the IMEI # back to a customer.

-_-

the call center I most recently left was better, they are all soulless though.

oh and the first place never gave me benefits. I mention this to the supervisor lady who came out of her office once word got out I and another co-worker were leaving and her eyes got REALLY big - I think she thought I was going to sue them...probably should have tbh

anyway, I'll stop now.

[fierce moth]

it sucks that most call centres gets offloaded to places in india
i want more inland IT support ngl (or any call centre ngl)

[elfin solar]

You had a job where you did less work than you do at LMG !
😉

[old yacht]

different work, I woulkdnt describle either as more or less

[nova ingot]

Call center in India and phillipines. Hot take I kinda prefer the phillipines more.

They just seem more resistant to elevating an issue in india.

[rapid jackal]

[fallow pivot]

im looking to get into it support as a job, are there like any qualifications or anything or can i just walk in and give an interview with no relevant experience? im amazing at tech support and do it for free in a ton of discord servers

[fierce moth]

depends on where you live

in australia theres a certificate in IT

[shut lichen]

call centers are just famously shit lol

[rapid jackal]

Indeed.

[fallow pivot]

damn alright

[fallow pivot]

hellow your compucher haz a wirus softwares in it that need to diagnosis fastly

[alpine gale]

Entirely depends on the companies hiring for IT in your area. I shifted from call center ISP support to a Service Desk (aka level 1 helpdesk) role that wanted a bunch of certifications + experience on paper, but hired me anyway because I demonstrated critical thinking skills and a willingness to learn during the interview.

[fallow pivot]

hm

that seems doable

[alpine gale]

I've found a large part of being good at anything IT related is being willing to adapt to / learn about the always changing landscape and having good interpersonal social skills, including an ability to empathize with end users and/or explain the how / why at whatever each individual user needs / understands.

[fallow pivot]

do you see a lot of people that kinda cant understand tech at all no matter how much you try

like usb in ethernet port types of people

[alpine gale]

Oddly enough, I've found there's a lot of crossover between UI/UX design and most of the common IT problems people experience. TL;DR: many things are poorly designed, which leads to their misuse, which then leads to helpdesk calls. Reading UI/UX design books helped get me into a mindset that the root cause of most IT problems (actually, most of societal problems) are caused by poor design. https://designlab.com/blog/books-to-get-you-started-graphic-ux-design-basics

does anyone happen to know if anything is wrong with spectrum rn

[rapid jackal]

y u break it

[rapid jackal]

not spectrum but my ISP sometimes does a network reboot around this time usually like monday or tuesdays though.

[alpine gale]

Um. Respectfully, some people might be better off switching industries / jobs. 😉 There's only so much you can do to help a user who just doesn't understand tech. I try my darndest to come up with real-world analogies by comparing tech to lawnmowers, automobiles, or restaurants, but it doesn't computer for some.

[silver chasm]

mine does too but its been happening since around 7-8 pm , its 4:38 am

I ended up having to reset the router.

these speeds are nuts compared to DDR4, Originally I was going to go 32gb again and jut upgrade later but since I know that 30% I hit that limit even if its just within 1-2 gb I might as well go 64 gb now, and not risk EXPO tripping out of a second set of sticks.

[idle meadow]

Isn't efficiency on that worse?

[neon mesa]

Better

[full fossil]

nuclear mining > nuclear ore refining > nuclear chemical refining > nuclear fuel rods > nuclear reactors are not run as per energy radiated and so lots of energy is dumped as heat.

[neon mesa]

Solar photovoltaic is junk, it's like 30% efficiency on a good day 50 at best

[neon mesa]

It's still cleaner, refinery is not a very dirty process, what's your point with those fuel rods.
And for mining i already pointed it out

And again, we don't need a lot of uranium for a lot of power

A lot of uranium are bonuses from existing gold mines anyway

Diesel-Electric submarines > nuclear submarines

[neon mesa]

Diesel subs don't last as long and not as silent

[whole swallow]

then they have to snorkel and then diesel submarines are just very loud boats

[neon mesa]

Another extra to this
Again because we don't need a lot of uranium, we don't need to do a lot of refining

1kg of uranium has the same energy output as 2700 tons of coal

And a typical power plant uses only 27 tons of uranium a year

[summer folio]

Diesel-Electric subs, specially swedish ones, are the definition of Silent.

I played too much factorio, and can see maths, but not numbers, I hope you are true and correct.

[whole swallow]

Until they have to recharge their batteries

[neon mesa]

Really the benefit of nuclear lies to it's energy density.
Because we don't need a lot we don't pollute a lot

[full fossil]

okay, first of all 1kg of uranium is about 10kg, as most are dirty reactors, and they are meant to get that highest efficienies just at 30-25% energy of uranium

Swedish Stealth Submarine Gotland Sank A U.S. Aircraft Carrier like multiple times in war games.
Sneaked pass all the defences, photographed it several close up, & left without even being detected.

[neon mesa]

Then that 10kg is like 27000 tons of coal
It's not like coal plants have 100% efficiency

[whole swallow]

that literally does not take away from what I said, lol

[neon mesa]

Though that 1kg = 2700tons is already energy output iirc

Not just total raw energy

[full fossil]

are ur sure? coal were before WW2 and 1960 most were above 95% except turbines which are reducing efficiencies.

[whole swallow]

it is an already established fact diesel electric subs are a lot quieter when on battery power, but having to snorkel to recharge their batteries and carry all that fuel fucks up their submerged time, mission time, and range up

[neon mesa]

Coal... 95%...? Definitely not

and it will take one MIT paper to make youtube go wild.

Chemical reactions are shit at converting mass to energy

I need advice, I really really really really want a ltt hat. But I have two issues, #1, after measuring the circumference of my head along the line I wear hats, when it’s tight enough to be accurate my circumference is 24.5” and when I measure the tightness I normally wear hats for comfort it’s 25”. Is the large going to be too small?

Also, I am not at all concerned about water in the like rain use case, I’m most concerned with sweat because I sweat a lot when I work, and I wear hats at work, because I work at a warehouse and outside. With sweat being the only “water” concern, would the pro be worth the 20$?

that is just pure steam and burning of fuel, we already got the stage/phase 2 heat extractors, making that slightly cool gases heat to be extracted.

I ask, I'm current electrical engineering student, seen internal videos of nuclear reactors, seen reallife steam boilers. Do you consider my student information credible?

[neon mesa]

The heat exchanger/turbine part of a nuclear power plant is the same as coal ones

Well mostly

Similar enough it's possible to repurpose coal plants into nuclear

Converting output heat to electricity and converting fuel to heat is a different matter

[full fossil]

no, didn't factorio teach you steam boilers are 165C and nuclear boilers at 650 or 550C

these are real temps

[summer folio]

Bet that is true for garbage Diesel subs, not Swedish Superior ones.

" Kockums Stirling AIP system the submarine does not have to surface to charge the batteries and thus increases the submerged endurance from days to weeks. It does not need air as other engines do."

[whole swallow]

weeks, a nuke sub is months bro

[summer folio]

""The Stirling engine is quiet and vibration free. No vibrations spread out to the hull making the submarine silent in the water and therefore difficult to find. This technology is unique to Swedish submarines""

[full fossil]

no turbines are zeroed so much it is economical to change heating method. yeah, the tuning of turbine is better be not disturbed.

the mechanical and production engineers takes lots of salary for this job

[neon mesa]

Even with coal higher heat to electricity it still doesn't matter
Uranium energy density is enough to make the difference

You made 1kg = 2700 tons
Into 3kg = 2700tons horray

That's still like 2 order of magnitude more efficient

Oh one order of magnitude is a factor of 10
So actually it's closer to 6

I was the meme part of the statement
