5(v2? - laptop in the middle) at the office, 2 at home.

[karmic whale]

Is 2 not that popular?

[terse scaffold]

2 and 5

[crimson kiln]

I personally have #5. I could go back to #3, but not if I can help it.

[indigo atlas]

Imo, 5

[signal badger]

I have a weird setup, 42 inch landscape on the left, 32 inch landscape in the middle, 28 inch (LG dualup) in portrait on the right

[crimson kiln]

Is the portrait for discord, or other uses as well?

[signal badger]

Mostly coding

[crimson kiln]

Perfect for long strings of text.

[signal badger]

Yeah, webpages/coding, anything that I need a good view of at once is on that screen

anyone have any clue what screwdriver i need for this

[indigo atlas]

pz0

or ph0

[latent geyser]

My local store has a ph5x125mm one

[austere shale]

Ph5 is way too big

Ph0 vs ph4

[molten drift]

Torque staring ice cube

[sturdy vessel]

how do i clean my pc's dust, i haven't cleaned it in like 7-8 years

this is not a joke

[austere shale]

Normally you’d do regular air dusting to get it before the dust turns into thick mats, but you’re past that point, so take it apart and get cleaning, a toothbrush works well for fine areas as long as it’s a soft bristle one, alternatively you can use a paint brush

[sturdy vessel]

i scared im gonna bump or scratch the little gold thingies idk what they're called im no expert

[sturdy vessel]

isn't that a good concern?"

[austere shale]

I mean as long as you use common sense you should be fine, but if you’re really worried about it you can take it to a computer shop and have them do it

I can’t imagine a world where it wouldn’t be sub $100 to get it done

[sturdy vessel]

okie dokie

[sturdy vessel]

thanks cobba

[austere shale]

Np

I have a high speed ceramic spindle bearing that I really wanna blast with air and get spinning to Mach 5 but I don’t have an air compressor in my shop rn and they’re doing a safety meeting in the shop next door

[jaunty cove]

I dont think yall understand how small we are

That's earth next to da sun

This da sun next to a star

[wispy marsh]

If the screws turn clockwise, you should use a right-handed screwdriver.

[latent geyser]

i think mine was labeled incorrectly because it was no where as big as the one in the right

nonetheless, i got it working with whatever screwdriver i found - thank you!

now to hope i didn’t kill my gpu bc of static electricity

[austere shale]

Just don’t touch any capacitors if there are any and you’ll be fine, not that static isn’t a worry but it’s really not as big of one as people are lead to believe

[austere shale]

Philips sizes are weird tho so there’s a chance it wasn’t mislabeled there’s the “ph0” size and then there are sub-sizes

[latent geyser]

i may have gone over them with a brush because it was caked in dust

otherwise yeah i think it was fine

[austere shale]

JIS is the golden standard in my eyes but for some reason even Japan doesn’t use it anymore as a standard

[latent geyser]

my problem was the gpu was causing random shutdown/it wouldn’t post unless it was in safe mode which made me think it was thermal issues

so i’ve reposted the gpu and cleaned a lot of the dust

[desert dagger]

the sun is a star

[austere shale]

Imma be real with you I’m pretty useless when it comes to in depth hardware issues

Genuine question, do flat earthers just see other planets as round balls but think for some unexplained reason the earth isn’t a round, or are all the other planets flat to them too

[zealous mountain]

Cleaning the welding masks and switching out the lenses to Shade 12* rating for the solar eclipse 😎

Already sent the wife my small purse sized welding goggles with a new lens.

If you're planning on something similar be aware NASA recommendations Shade 12* lenses for consistent viewing.

But if you got the lower filtering 11 Shade* Be sure to take momentary brakes.

[austere shale]

Was thinking about doing this until I saw a 6 pack of Lunt eclipse glasses was $20 on Amazon

[supple gale]

Beans

[desert dagger]

bean bay beans

they're the beaniest.

[silk dove]

Ima just wear 2 pairs of sunglasses

[austere shale]

-obligatory not a medical expert. But my wife is and she scolded me for a solid hour when I said the same thing. Plenty of readily available information on why that’s a bad idea but you’re an adult and gonna do whatever you want

[silk dove]

Im not gonna be looking for more than 10 sec but thanks

[strange elk]

I'll just wear one BC I'm poor

[austere shale]

Assuming your username checks out then you might have a welding helmet like the dude earlier in the chat does. That would also be better than sunglasses

[strange elk]

Idek when the eclipse is lol thought it was yesterday or smth

[silk dove]

Nope I don’t but idk I’ll figure it out

[dense coral]

Bruh I know someone who looked at a partial eclipse for a fraction of a second and his vision is permanently fked

[silk dove]

3pm est

[silk dove]

Oh nevermind then

[strange elk]

They didn't let me film it when I was in school.

Like.. 6 years sgo

[silk dove]

Does it get brighter? You can look at the sun without going blind so is the darkness opening your pupils or smth?

I looked it up and it says I can use a pasta strainer and sunglasses lmao sounds super safe

[austere shale]

Well, whatever you do stay safe homie, eclipse blindness can last from 3-6 months if not permanent. So do with that information as you wish, go get a cheap harbor freight/walmart welding mask and return it after 💀

[strange elk]

I know ace where we are sells glasses so maybe you'll just find those instead

[silk dove]

Nah I’m not lookin at that shit after looking up what can happen

[austere shale]

Anybody have any good recommendations for a 12vhpwr cable I can get somewhat fast? I want a 90° one so I can actually put the side panel on my case

Well son of a bitch just went on cablemods website and their angled adapters are on recall, good thing I didn’t use mine 🥴

[drifting topaz]

@scarlet pebble hi chat

[indigo atlas]

Hi slow

[harsh quartz]

It’s on recall cause it had the same issue as the official nvidia cables did, cause it’s a shit design and shouldn’t be used

[ionic abyss]

OK so if I have to pick between a $799 4070ti super and a$830 7900xtx wich is the better buy

[potent wedge]

are you a nvidia fanboy?

[velvet marsh]

If it’s for gaming go with the xtx. If it’s almost anything else go with the 4070ti super

[potent wedge]

the 7900 xtx has a little more ''raw performance'' but nvidia has beter dlss and rt

yes, also the vram is more

[ionic abyss]

I assume the 7900ztx is better

[potent wedge]

raw performance definitly

[ionic abyss]

Right now I can put $700 of the cost down

[austere shale]

Oh my god, MSI came out with a bios that should fix the shit board I have. Assuming the people on Reddit are telling the truth, I can finally use my computer normally

[ionic abyss]

If it's a sht bord would a. Bios update fix it realy

[austere shale]

Well, no. But for like 3 months I haven’t been able to use it normally. I figured out a workaround where if I unplug the display outside from my gpu and use the onboard graphics to boot up and then switch them back it works. But if I just tried to boot with my gpu I wouldn’t get any display signal

And I haven’t really been playing games lately because going under my desk to give my computer the reach around isn’t exactly fun

Also it just takes what I feel is way too long to boot

[lunar raptor]

Hello everyone in chat , hope you all having a good day

[austere shale]

Disabling all the boot drives except the one I use helped a lot with boot times but still so slow

Also changing setting in the bios doesn’t like to save. Usually takes a few tries for a change to stick

[full fossil]

hellllooo world

[dense latch]

compile error

[lunar raptor]

just put together a phanteks nv9 with dark hero mb , 14900k , matrix platignum 4090 , 64gb corsair 6600 ram , the only thing a little of is the colour match between corsair fans (on the AIO ,170i ) , the rgb on the ram and the phanteks case fans and matrix AIO fans but I can live with it...just...LOL

[austere shale]

Nv9 is a good looking case. I was thinking about that when I did my build, went with a fractal north instead tho

[tired glade]

Oh,14900

[lunar raptor]

its pretty good to build in but I used the phanteks premium vertical gpu bracket and it's a bit of a tight squeeze

[austere shale]

The 4090 was already a pain to get in the fractal north idk how well a vertical mount would go💀 but I do like the look of them

[harsh quartz]

North XL could handle it

[austere shale]

I did not go with the XL, if I remember correctly it wouldn’t fit in the spot under my desk

[lunar raptor]

for me it's well worth the effort going vertical aesthetically, and cooling does seem somewhat better

not to sure about the mb , looks nice and specs good but the asus bios are the usual shit show

[harsh quartz]

Tbf, it is pretty extra large

The north was actually surprisingly large, similar to a 4000d, so I’m not sure how much bigger the xl is

[austere shale]

I can’t complain, the 4090 was tight, and I have to get a 90° or 180° 12vhpwr connector to put my side panel on but 🤷‍♂️

[harsh quartz]

The cablemod one should work just don’t be an idiot

[tired glade]

Just check if cable not over bending

[austere shale]

The issue is, I bought the wrong one (type a not type B) and then when I re-ordered the correct one fucking FedEx lost it and I just lost motivation to handle the situation

[lunar raptor]

the regular cable mode 12v lock in really tight

[covert forge]

keep your side panel open

or buy a new case

[austere shale]

I want to but I’m worried every day my dog is gonna get into it

[covert forge]

ah

[lunar raptor]

but looking to get a 90 degree made up aswell as one or two others in the right length

[austere shale]

To be fair I have a cable and an adapter that would fix my issues but they’re both no-name Amazon ones and that scares me when working with an $1800 graphics card

So I’ve done what I do best, ignore the problem

[tired glade]

Don't worry, next upgrade will be even more

I hope you not putting 4090 under hard loop like 6 months before 5090 will release?!

[tardy terrace]

why not

[tired glade]

A hard loop is a pain to disassemble

[spare geyser]

i gotta tear apart my hard loop one of these days too. and i gotta bend new to add radiators. been putting it off

[covert forge]

its funny how some 2014 games look better than a lot of games that come out now 🤣

[tired glade]

Just don't forget to clean it

[covert forge]

like i just saw thief on the free games section on epic store. i thought it was a new release

[graceful burrow]

That game both looks and plays like shit hoss

Especially plays like shit lol

You know it's bad when you can't find a good torrent of a game because nobody wants to play it

[covert forge]

i havent played it i just saw the trailer, looked decent

[lunar raptor]

yeah I played thief for about 10 minutes then got bored

[covert forge]

but the game needs like a gt 250 its not hard to run lmao

fx cpu

[graceful burrow]

Yeah it came out on the 360 it better be easy to run

Definitely one of the worst attempts at a franchise reboot

[lunar raptor]

waiting for the ghost of Tsushima

[harsh quartz]

I can’t tell if I like the graphics or not in this game cause every image I see looks different

[covert forge]

Yeah i only saw the trailer when i found out it was free on epic i might play it later when im on my pc

[graceful burrow]

He makes the exact same sound effect when he jumps

Every time
And you jump a lot lol

They're saying hello because the on boarding process here requires a message to be sent in this channel before it unlocks everything else, and suggests hi

Hi

[graceful burrow]

I use obsidian for notes, pretty sure there's a Mac client

[austere shale]

I hate the Germans so much. How hard is it to just use a BNC connector, why did they have to randomly convert a BNC to Ethernet to transmit a video signal, literally all of our other trucks use a BNC to a video amp that outs with a BNC. But this one truck had to be different. Never fails

[primal sonnet]

idk in one of my IT classes I need notepad but I use mac

[austere shale]

Google docs

[harsh quartz]

Might need to be rephrased

[verbal arrow]

Just posted it

[graceful burrow]

Well this doesn't feel racist at all

[harsh quartz]

Honestly I still think the bioshocks (1or2) or the borderlands are still my favorite animation/styles for everything, visuals and sound both

[austere shale]

I’ll stand on business, with everything I work on it’s all shit, overcomplicated, over engineered, just randomly making one truck different than the rest, absolutely unnecessary

[harsh quartz]

So you hate German vehicles

[austere shale]

Equipment, sewer equipment more specifically

[harsh quartz]

Okay, might wanna say that instead of “I hate Germans”

[graceful burrow]

Bioshock rules

[austere shale]

The Germans designed it

[harsh quartz]

Bioshock 1 is still my top game of all time, bioshock 2 is great, infinite is a decent game but it’s not a bioshock game

[fierce moth]

ive never played a bioshock game

or quake and half life

[harsh quartz]

The originals hold up, but the remastered ones do not,

[austere shale]

Bioshock infinite was pretty fun, probably the last single player game I played tbh

[harsh quartz]

It’s fun, but I refuse to say it’s a bioshock game, bioshock is so based around its story and rapture specifically, I don’t think infinite fits

alright guys whos ready to stare at the sun

Obsidian + iCloud if you're on Mac only. Obsidian + SyncThing if you're on mixed devices.

Yelo is it a good idea to start my pc build rn with no previous experience even though I told my friend I’d wait for him because he’s build 5 and is way smarter than me?

[turbid warren]

If you just follow some guides and be careful with the parts you should be ok

[verbal arrow]

Idk I might do the motherboard

Handling it is so scary though

I always feel like sm is bending

[turbid warren]

You could start with just installing the components to the motherboard (cpu, ram, any m.2 ssd, cooler) and then take a break if your worried about handling it

[verbal arrow]

Yeah

Thanks

@turbid warren could you tell me what you think of the build

?

[turbid warren]

The specs or

Is there an image im not seeing?

[verbal arrow]

Erm for a bit I ran out of money

Almost there

[turbid warren]

They stream pretty regularly! It's super cool.

You can see Dragon missions, and just science stuff.

[wary bay]

i thought they only stream youtube but thats good to know

[turbid warren]

Ye would be a good pairing

[austere shale]

Only place on the internet where a stream of the eclipse and a stream of somebody’s gooch are one click apart

[turbid warren]

Id say just depends on local prices

[harsh quartz]

I promise it’s not

[tranquil nimbus]

Maine feed and ISS feed.

[verbal arrow]

How long does it take to build a pc

[tranquil nimbus]

Awesome shot!

[hollow knot]

Soviet era night vision scope > solar eclipse glasses

[turbid warren]

Depends on the stuff n all

[verbal arrow]

For mine?

[turbid warren]

But for an aio and your first time maybe 2hrs?

The motherboard stuff wont take too long but hooking up everything in the case might if you havent done it before

[austere shale]

I wonder if by the next eclipse in the US we’ll be able to see the moon train

[tranquil nimbus]

Coming up on Texas soonish.

i hope linux wont break i cant dual boot only 32gb of storage

how the hell do i launch the installer

[graceful burrow]

The installer to what

[merry scaffold]

install the os?

[graceful burrow]

Brother you really gotta be more verbose here what are you trying to do

Being vague doesn't help me help you

[merry scaffold]

im installing linux on my chromebook

and i have a command think idk what to do with

[graceful burrow]

You boot to the installation usb from bios and install it from there

[merry scaffold]

i have an terminal

no gui

[graceful burrow]

That does nothing for you.

[merry scaffold]

?

[graceful burrow]

Operating systems don't install like programs

[merry scaffold]

well windows did 😭

[turbid warren]

Wouldnt a live boot usb work the best here?

[inland oracle]

"x" just rolled out an update that they didn't even think about for 5 seconds

they made it so "twitter.com" turns to "x.com" for the client but the destination stays the same

so people are already claiming domains preparing for phishing scams like "netflitwitter.com", that will display as "netflix.com" in the app

[turbid warren]

Cause then he can partition it on linux

[merry scaffold]

i just got the first iso i found

im at a stupid terminal again idk what to do

[inland oracle]

you just got an iso file and double clicked it?

im confused on what you're doing

[austere shale]

Just saw a video of a public defender in Seattle, and honestly I’m starting to wish the eclipse was a rapture

[turbid warren]

are you booting it from bios?

[merry scaffold]

wdym

I just hold esc and go to boot menu to choose my usb

[graceful burrow]

Everything else aside arch is possibly the worst distro to choose for your first Linux experience lmao
Aside gentoo, ofc

[turbid warren]

id reccomend ubuntu

[merry scaffold]

Ohh okay, what else is a good Linux distro

[turbid warren]

they have a guide for installing on a chromebook with crouton https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-on-chromebook#1-overview

[merry scaffold]

Takes 23gb of space I have 32

[merry scaffold]

I have modded it already

[inland oracle]

why are you trying to install multiple operating systems with 32g storage

[merry scaffold]

I’m wanting to remove windows and get Linux

usually minecraft takes like .5-1 gb per instance though?

[merry scaffold]

i litteraly installed firefox and the whole space was gone

0mb left

can i install Ubuntu for Intel IoT platforms on the chromebook

uhh too complicated

[fervent swallow]

you could use an external drive

just plug one in and install minecraft there

[fervent swallow]

Yup

[fervent swallow]

Dam that’s nothing

[merry scaffold]

[merry scaffold]

its 15€ a month here its fucking expensive

[fervent swallow]

How did you install Linux

[fervent swallow]

… that’s not expensive??

[merry scaffold]

[fervent swallow]

No

I have unlimited for like $80

[merry scaffold]

are you crazy

thats like 200€ in germany with a provieder that has coverage here

[fervent swallow]

Over priced

[turbid warren]

alr maybe stop bickering about unrelated things and lets work on the problem at hand

[merry scaffold]

kkkkkk

[turbid warren]

what drive did you use to install windows

[merry scaffold]

im flashing ubunto to a usb but its big af

[merry scaffold]

32gb sandisk

usb 3. smth

[turbid warren]

so you could install ubuntu off of that

[pure knoll]

It's 3gb lol

[turbid warren]

then clear it and put minecraft on it

[merry scaffold]

USB SanDisk 3.2Gen1

[merry scaffold]

the windows install is full i cant do shit

[turbid warren]

format over the windows install when you install linux

[pure knoll]

Bro took "containerised" to the next level lol

[fossil frost]

64gb SanDisk with about 8 different ISOs on it with ventoy. It's my "in case of emergency" drive 😁

[merry scaffold]

and the usb drive gets so hot after like2 minutes

[pure knoll]

I get 3 for absolutely free 💀

[turbid warren]

wait im confused are you using the chromebooks internal storage for the windows install?

[merry scaffold]

yes

[pure knoll]

That's fine

[turbid warren]

oh so it should be ok then yeah

[pure knoll]

Under boiling point is fine

[merry scaffold]

wdym

[verbal arrow]

I started the build man

[turbid warren]

just install ubuntu on it and format it so you get all the space then

[merry scaffold]

k

[verbal arrow]

The nvme was weird

[fossil frost]

Yeah, as long as the drive it's self doesn't boil off, I'm good 😁

[pure knoll]

Average distro hopper:

[turbid warren]

then once you do that you can just plug the usb back in and delete the iso so you can use it for whatever

[merry scaffold]

okay cool

[turbid warren]

how so

[verbal arrow]

The mount

No screws wierd twisty thing

[turbid warren]

what chromebook is it btw

[pure knoll]

Isn't that included with mobo Bilbo?

[turbid warren]

some of them might run minecraft just fine but it really depends

[merry scaffold]

[pure knoll]

Dial up?

[merry scaffold]

mobile data that costs like my life?

i get dial up speed when mobile data is empty

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, and we cracked ours every couple of months when they rotated it, it’s not the same thing

[merry scaffold]

you dont get any faster

[pure knoll]

Holy fuck it's bad

[merry scaffold]

how can you "crack" a wifi password?

[fervent swallow]

I just ask my mom or co workers of the school gave them new info

[merry scaffold]

does your mom work at school?

[pure knoll]

All schools in NZ (even the ones in the countyside and low income ones) get free wifi pretty quick too

[merry scaffold]

whatttt

[harsh quartz]

Either way, it’s not the same as just having a student wifi

[fervent swallow]

No

She doesn’t work for the school, her bunissnes offers services to all the schools in the area for stuff

[merry scaffold]

ohh k

[merry scaffold]

our school wont give it to us because the school is resonsble with what we do on it , they can solve it with a captive portal login thing

[pure knoll]

So do U have an excuse for not doing schoolwork if ur mum can't afford mobile data?

[merry scaffold]

i dont

[pure knoll]

Bro that's criminal 💀

[merry scaffold]

fucking mobile data is expensive

[turbid warren]

Canada represent

Absolutely criminal prices here

[pure knoll]

We had free wifi at primary and college and intermediate so idk

[pure knoll]

Even Canada?? Dayum we are privileged

[harsh quartz]

Congrats, you went to a school that had money

[pure knoll]

Bro even the Maori schools had wifi

[turbid warren]

Secondary and university both had free wifi but the mobile providers have terrible pricing

[pure knoll]

I went to a public school

[merry scaffold]

same im still going to one

[fierce moth]

So, I have my wii u on my bedside table cause i wanted to do some late night twilight princess gaming, and now my wii u just has my glasses and psp on it

[austere shale]

I’m trying to tell if my deep cool cooler died or not

Just updating my bios rn and it said 45°c and that seems high

Got up to 58°c

[graceful burrow]

Bios temp really isn't important kek

You don't spend hours in the bios

[austere shale]

The point I’m trying to get at is It shouldn’t be 170°f while updating the bios, which is basically idle

[graceful burrow]

Updating the bios is not idle

[stoic beacon]

Your computer has to do work while updating the bios.

[austere shale]

🤷‍♂️ I figured it was the equivalent of writing and deleting a file

[stoic beacon]

Oftentimes, many many many many many files

Your PC has thousands, maybe millions, of files on it that refer to things in the bios, and those all have to be updated

[hearty plover]

No more online services for Wii u and 3Ds starting today

[west venture]

anyone have experience spray painting parts

[solemn axle]

internal: no, external: 1 good and 1 bad results

[fossil frost]

PC parts, no, car parts, yes

take your time, and every coat is a LIGHT dusting

[vapid smelt]

And hold the can still /s

[ionic abyss]

well there is a old ltt video on how to paint pc parts\

but if im honest id not paint anything i couldnt stand to risk loosing

[fossil frost]

tbh, paint metal... dont paint plastic.. painting plastic runs the risk of the solvent in the paint being incompatible with the plastic, reacting with it, and at best, melting it, at worst, turning it into a toxic sludge that gives off fumes that can kill you

[ionic abyss]

you can never tell if the part will suirvive the painting process

[graceful burrow]

Win win

[ionic abyss]

its best to buy parts for a pc that match the astetic your going for

or pay a company to paint it for you that does it for a living

[fossil frost]

its generally more expensive, but also safer to do it that way... you CAN paint any part you have... but, if someone is asking for tips on painting their parts, they do not have the knowledge required to ensure they dont harm themselves by doing so... so in that case, buying is always the best option

[ionic abyss]

i tend to leave stuff they way it comes

[dusk tiger]

guys is GT9500 a geforce 9 series?

[ionic abyss]

wow thats a old card from 2008

[manic torrent]

No

[dusk tiger]

then what series is it? i'm downloading drivers rn

[manic torrent]

Retro vintage series

[graceful burrow]

Does the gt9500 even have win10 drivers lmao

[dusk tiger]

yes, it does

[ionic abyss]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/results/89883/

it seems to be on that page

[fossil frost]

can anyone recommend another game like doom (2016)/doom eternal where the story is effectively a leaflet stapled to the guns you are carrying round and shooting things in the face with? just want something mindless and shooty

[manic torrent]

Serious sam

i thought to try ultrakill
i liked the story behind the development

[ionic abyss]

doom any wolfenstien game umm

[knotty flicker]

does anyone know why my steam won’t download my games?

[graceful burrow]

Nope

[manic torrent]

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[ionic abyss]

you might try restarting steam

[knotty flicker]

i have done loads cleared steam check flushed dns different download server reinstalled steam

turned off firewall

[ionic abyss]

it could also be a windows update messing with your network

[knotty flicker]

just trying to download helldivers 2 😭

[ionic abyss]

wich is a pc restart

it happens

[manic torrent]

Sounds like you're not devoted enough to super earth and spreading managed democracy.

[prime solstice]

Download proton up qt

[ionic abyss]

horrizon zero dawn forbidden west is convinced me to buy a new gpu

[knotty flicker]

like it download at 300 mbps then just goes to 0 and then it will stay like that for abit and then start downloading again

[knotty flicker]

what’s that

[prime solstice]

Gives you different versions of proton

[knotty flicker]

what’s proton?

[prime solstice]

The thing used to run windows games on Linux

[ionic abyss]

when a 3080 cant run your game stably and your recomended spec is a 3060 its not good

[fossil frost]

what makes you think they are using linux?

[prime solstice]

What the steam deck uses

[manic torrent]

Ok, so that's a much better description of the problem than "steam won't download". You didn't include any details whatsoever.

[ionic abyss]

gpu give no issues in any other games

[knotty flicker]

ok well what details would i like me to provide

[manic torrent]

... Everything...

Did it work before, what changed if anything, what hardware, is it with everything, does other software work, blah blah etc etc.

[knotty flicker]

ok so i when i start downloading a game it will download at roughly 400 mbps - 300 mbps and then it goes all the way to about 30mbps and then it will go go 0 mbps when it nearly finishes and the disk will still be going at 100 mbps

i have flushed dns cleared download cache changed the download server location

[graceful burrow]

Your disk is slow

[manic torrent]

And/or fucked.

[graceful burrow]

It has to stop downloading because it filled the cache

[knotty flicker]

i have never had this issue

[ionic abyss]

install on a ssd

[fossil frost]

what cpu do you have, what disk is it downloading/installing to, how much ram do you have? what type of ram do you have?

[manic torrent]

Ok great. Now you do.

[knotty flicker]

i3 9100f it’s installing to a ssd i have 16gb of vengeance ddr4

[fossil frost]

the size of the disk matters, how full the disk is matters.. the size of the download matters, the size of the extracted game matters...

[manic torrent]

Is the SSD cheap crap and nearly full?

[ionic abyss]

if they say its a kingspec ill laugh

[knotty flicker]

no it’s only half full and i don’t know the price i was given it

[fossil frost]

"half full" isnt "its capacity is X, and i am using Y"

[ionic abyss]

sata or m.2

[manic torrent]

... What SSD is it. I don't need to know how much it cost, that is irrelevant.

[knotty flicker]

sata

[knotty flicker]

ADATA

[manic torrent]

Ok now we are getting somewhere

[ionic abyss]

ok the sata ssd will top out around 250mbs to 300mbs

[fossil frost]

when you say this has only just started happening.. what game are you installing now, and what other games have you installed where it didnt happen?

are they of comparable download sizes?

[ionic abyss]

he said helldivers 2

so ill assume the ssd cache is full

[knotty flicker]

i’m installing helldivers 2 and and i have installed rust apex lost ark and rainbow six siege

[fossil frost]

20gb ish download, 70gb ish when extracted, if its less than 2tb, 100% exhausting whatever SLC cache it has, and if it DOES have a dram cash, its exhausting that too

[manic torrent]

Probably no dram cache

[graceful burrow]

Oof
It knows you downloaded bad games and is punishing you

[knotty flicker]

well i can’t play anything if i can’t download them

[fossil frost]

it will download, and it will play, you just have to be patient

[manic torrent]

Anyway what you are saying here is.... "My game is installing fine and I don't understand how computers work"

[fossil frost]

it will ramp back up when its finished doing its cleanup that it needs to do

[knotty flicker]

fym it was stuck at 83% for 2 hours

download mbps was 0 so was disk

[manic torrent]

...... That isn't what you said before.

[graceful burrow]

Yeah that's a whole different thing lmao

[ionic abyss]

try downloading s smaller game then resuming the larger download

that will show if its the network

[manic torrent]

Try getting a non ewaste tier ssd

[knotty flicker]

same issue

it’s a new ssd aswell only had it like and month and a half

[fossil frost]

if you are gonna buy an SSD, i suggest you do it now, before this earthquake that just happened in Taiwan, ramps prices through the roof again

[ionic abyss]

then its network related issue if the smaller game doesnt download well

[fossil frost]

just because its new, doesnt mean it isnt shit

[manic torrent]

Wtf would you buy a SATA SSD in this year of our Lord 2024

[knotty flicker]

was given it

[fossil frost]

smaller game not downloading at all could still mean that the disk is having issues, since steam reserves storage space before downloading

[manic torrent]

You were given it new? Or used?

[knotty flicker]

new it was in the box

[fossil frost]

kill the helldivers install, delete it, free up the space... then try and install a smaller game

[manic torrent]

New old stock or new new?

[ionic abyss]

well one reason would be you only hava a single sata power and data connection to use for expansion in a pc with out removing exsisting ssds

[knotty flicker]

they ordered kt from amazon so i assume new

[manic torrent]

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me to learn that you store your uranium jug in your PC at this rate

[ionic abyss]

i was expecting the ssd to be a kingspec brand

[fossil frost]

i store mine in my wallet, in my pocket, right next to my balls.. is that bad? 😄

my uranium that is

[ionic abyss]

oh you have one of those uranium negitive ion cards then right?

[fossil frost]

no, just a bar of uranium that i use to chew on when im bored

[manic torrent]

When it's stopped... What does task manager and/or resource monitor say is happening

[ionic abyss]

im bored now

time to watch kentucky ballistics new video

[fossil frost]

you get to see him accidentally hit himself in the face 😄

in slow mo too

[ionic abyss]

well i love big guns

[fossil frost]

i love watching people hurt themselves 😄

[manic torrent]

... So the disk is going at full speed.

[knotty flicker]

yes

[ionic abyss]

i have a 2bore riffle that was fired once wich fractured my sholder and the thing now scares me

[prime solstice]

I like watching him and Brandon herarra

[ionic abyss]

when a gun actualy hurts you on the first shot its time to leave it alone

[fossil frost]

im gonna guess it probably wasnt the guns fault

[ionic abyss]

well yes and no

[manic torrent]

Herrera is extremely problematic... Which isn't entirely surprising for a gun YouTuber.

[ionic abyss]

a 2bore produces about 800+ lbs of felt recoil

[prime solstice]

I just like watching his videos when he did the assassinations of famous people

[manic torrent]

So you're saying that this is taken at the same time steam is saying 0 disk activity?

[ionic abyss]

so the gun can hurt you if you dont know how to shoot it easy

[knotty flicker]

well i had snipping tool open it might have changed ill take it again

[fossil frost]

still better than demolition ranch, who has taken to the full youtuber "im a millionaire now and im going to show it off" lifestyle, but with a shipping container FULL of guns

[manic torrent]

It isn't though - Herrera ran for office, and is pro confederacy unironically

[fossil frost]

didnt know that... and yeah, thats... iffy on his part

am i correct in assuming he lost, and then blamed "the left" ?

[manic torrent]

Lol I assume he lost I didn't care that much

[merry scaffold]

dont techtip and drive

[austere shale]

do you think i could make it so an rc plane is controlled with an xbox controller and not the bulky transmitters that are standard?

[manic torrent]

Is it possible? absolutely. Could you do it? Maybe.

The real question is why

also I don't think you understand that flying a plane requires a level of precision that is great than that afforded to you with a game controller. It's not a submarine.

[graceful burrow]

high quality rc controllers cost a dickton of money

[austere shale]

always loved planes, rc planes and everything, could never get past the controls, but ive spent a lot of time playing games on an xbox controller

[full fossil]

oh nice this ''gigastone'' ram I got is samsung

[manic torrent]

Cheap ones, however, are cheap. Far cheaper than an xbox controller.

[full fossil]

[graceful burrow]

i still dont understand how rc stuff works lmao
i'll get to it when i have more money
there are like 6 people i can poll for questions on it when im stuck kek

[austere shale]

because not to be "that guy" but i have a lot of hours in elite dangerous VR dogfighting other ships and something in my monkey brain tells me that i would be good at flying an RC plane

[graceful burrow]

you're absolutely "that guy" rn

[full fossil]

where's player twos madkatz controller

[austere shale]

yea ik, but i feel like the skillset somewhat overlaps, with a proper hotas, and if the plane had FPV

[full fossil]

I hope I wasnt the only one

man i got no idea, the only time ive looked at rc jet engines is the time i drew up the plans to mount one to my motorcycle for the meme (there was a good deal on a used one on facebook marketplace)

I feel like maybe you should do ANY research at all

[tiny sky]

I did but i only get like jet type planes and not like an airbus type plane and these rc jets are uhmm

[manic torrent]

yeah "jet fans" - you don't understand the first thing

[tiny sky]

I meant like rc jets in general not only the fans??

You haven't said if you're talking about turbines or EDF, and if you're talking about turbines, you're talking about multiple thousands of dollars, so you know.

if i remember the SW240B was the one the guy was selling on marketplace for $2000, i drew up all the plans to mount it to my motorcycle and have a backpack fuel cell with quick disconnects, never ended up doing it tho because my friend who welds aluminum didnt feel comfortable welding me a backpack that was essentially a bomb if i crashed

[tiny sky]

I'm in europe so the price is very different ig. A time bom backpack is dangerous so he avoided that

Or did he made it afterwards or something else?

[austere shale]

nah, i just brought him the plans, and he didnt want to. and i wasnt about to weld it myself out of steel because im strong but im not "lug a 300 pound backpack around" strong

[manic torrent]

yeah, he is much more sensible than you are 🙂

[tiny sky]

Ohh yeahhhh...

[austere shale]

stop being so mad because i have more fun than you

[manic torrent]

I mean, I'm the one executing his dreams, and you're the one still dreaming, so hey

90wh battery mod

[manic torrent]

only adds a small amount of weight

[full fossil]

Here's the kicker. It still weighs less than the legion go

[manic torrent]

I fact checked this: it checks out.

[full fossil]

The legion go might as well be filled with concrete lol

The ally got the better ergonomics as well

Steam Deck is still the most comfortable tho

[chrome vector]

Yeah... A battery mod.. Totally not a packet of C4 discreetly hidden in your handheld.. Haha, ha.. ha...

[full fossil]

That does make me wonder. What would it be like taking it through an airport lol

[dense hedge]

Hi

[verbal arrow]

I think I messed up my build

Guys I don’t understand how to wire my pc

[lilac bear]

mods, wire his pc

[inland oracle]

😭

probably just made it arabic because it saw the arabic characters in the message

and for ease of use automatically talked in that language

[crimson kiln]

LTT has many PC building guides on Youtube and Floatplane.

[tiny sky]

Like many MANNYYYYYY

Many means more then a LOT

[crimson kiln]

Especially if the many emphasises another many.

[broken folio]

many many lots

[manic torrent]

you do not need to wire your PC. it simply plugs in.

Hello everyone

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[dapper thorn]

Hello, everytime I close my pc it says this app is preventing shutdown and the app doesn’t have a name and no icon , should I be worried ??

[graceful burrow]

Likely no

[manic torrent]

it's probably just the spyware

[dapper thorn]

Just ?

[jaunty compass]

i just took a look at the preview LTT labs page and it looks really good

[sly meadow]

diy eclipse photo

[hard oriole]

i didnt want to pay for quick delivery for my new laptop battery
so i just removed most of the screws from the bottom and taped them to the case to relieve some pressure so the trackpad works again lol
should be here this next monday
use a mouse with it plugged in most of the time so only even noticed recently

[gilded stratus]

Was to busy playin minecraft, was it good

[velvet marsh]

did you remove the battery?

[hard oriole]

no it runs my alarms in case power goes out until i can buy a UPS

[crystal flare]

it was weird. it was like someone used a dimmer switch on the sun.

[lilac bear]

what a way to miss a once in a lifetime event (unless you can just travel a lot)

[gilded stratus]

So like the 2017 one? I was still in elementary when 2017 one hit

[gilded stratus]

Ive seen one before

[velvet marsh]

I was in jury duty, so I missed it lol

[lilac bear]

take down the government

[crystal flare]

it practically turned day into night

[ionic abyss]

umm so windohs 11 is blocking updates if you use some 3rd party software

[velvet marsh]

I wouldn't risk the fire hazard, but that's me

[hard oriole]

the new battery is on its way 🙏
worry not

[ionic abyss]

why must microsoft be so evil

[velvet marsh]

then use it without the battery for a couple days

[hard oriole]

if i take out the battery i may as well turn it off
the battery is why i have it on top of my desktop
in case the power goes out

[ionic abyss]

i see windohs thinks user browser choice must be protected from the user

this stuff is evil

edge sucks

[velvet marsh]

honestly surprised that battery works lol

[hard oriole]

hardly

[gilded stratus]

Umm so downgrade to windows 10

[alpine gale]

Affects Windows 10 too. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/new-windows-driver-blocks-software-from-changing-default-web-browser/

[gilded stratus]

Why must the world burn rn

I mean i want it to burn but damn

[alpine gale]

Eh, to be clear, one can still change their default browser - this driver just blocks the software that an independent developer wrote to get around the problem in the first place. And to be even more clear, the "problem" was more of a solution to malware that would maliciously change application defaults without user consent so... Microsoft is damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

[gilded stratus]

Still things i have to click, too lazy

[velvet marsh]

I'd prefer that a program can't just change the default browser. It should be a manual process

[alpine gale]

Same. I'd much rather jump through hoops than login one day to find all my default apps changed to "Definitely_not_malware_pay_us_or_your_files_are_encrypt.exe"

Hi

[quasi belfry]

Opinions on water cooling?

Soft tube

[graceful burrow]

Fine

Nothin wrong with it

[quasi belfry]

Is it worth?

[graceful burrow]

I mean
Probably not lol

What are you going to watercool

[quasi belfry]

A server

[graceful burrow]

Can you give me the actual answer

[quasi belfry]

My pc (see here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZztF9c )

[graceful burrow]

7800x3d is like
One of the coolest chips on the market rn kek

And the 6750xt also doesn't put out a ton of heat

[quasi belfry]

Water cooled ram >:3

lol

[quasi belfry]

I don’t do rgb

[quasi belfry]

Passive cooling lol

[pure knoll]

Fuck off windows

There's always Titus to remove edge and brick ur machine 🤙👍

[north wraith]

Huh sorry mods I didn’t think that would be against the rules. To be clear I was starting my browser preference…

[pure knoll]

Bros water-cooling individual dies on his mobo

[karmic flame]

I was just messing with you

[velvet marsh]

Not mine, but yeah lol

[north wraith]

Reason for ban: liking edge

Nah I will 100% get why people give it hate. The marketing and “please don’t remove” it terrible

[pure knoll]

Ikr

Cluttered browser too

I'm a pretty minimalist guy

[north wraith]

Yeah I can def respect that

At least it’s not mid 2000s yahoo/ask toolbar bad… yet

[pure knoll]

Bonzi buddy days:

Yahoo was a w browser idk what U yapping bout lol

[north wraith]

But get this. I recently switch to Mac (work related reasons long story) and it felt so strange getting that computer set up with Edge

[karmic flame]

https://tenor.com/view/netscape-internet-browser-logo-vintage-net-gif-16901987

[north wraith]

Rip

Anyways the tab grouping thing is why I’m like “huh this actual is not terrible”

But I bet if I look I could find a Firefox extension that did that too

[alpine gale]

Whoa, excuse me - I only use the latest version of Mosaic for my wide world webbing online shopping needs!

[north wraith]

Just like Al Gore intended!

[alpine gale]

I'm thinking of upgrading to IBM Web Explorer soon though. I heard I won't be able to compute with Business Machines on an International level without it!

[north wraith]

But yeah I think me actual thinking I like using edge is like browser Stockholm syndrome

For real what do y’all use Firefox, Chrome or something else (Opera? Is that still a thing? Safari?)

[pure knoll]

Bros stuck in 1999

[pure knoll]

Firefox

[graceful burrow]

The fuck is an internet browser all I've got are BBS's

[alpine gale]

I use a mix of Chrome, Chrome Canary, Firefox, Firefox Developer, Edge, Edge Canary, Chromium, and have an ancient copy of Firefox 3.6.5 for testing certain things.

[north wraith]

I have to respect Firefox for still being the browser that dosen’t come preloaded on machines
