[heavy swan]

I had pratically no stutters and the experience was way better (in terms of fps)

is this normal?

[lone shadow]

you went from CPU bound to GPU bound

hence higher FPS

[heavy swan]

wdym?

[lone shadow]

well at lower resolutions game becomes CPU bound as there are not as many pixels so GPU relaxes so the CPU has to work harder to use the GPU to its full potential

when you up the resolution or settings the GPU has more to process and load comes on it and the CPU is already working just fine

so then your game's FPS will rise as much as the GPU allows

[hearty spear]

okay this lumafield scanner video is kinda cool

[heavy swan]

so if I play a game that is more cpu "heavy" than gpu when I up the resolution the fps also should go up?

[lone shadow]

as many frames your GPU allows yea

[heavy swan]

huh

well thanks, did not know that

[lone shadow]

CPU manages 1000 FPS, GPU only can do 230 so your GPU bound, reverse the scenario you get the gist

[harsh quartz]

You won’t get higher than your cpu limit, if your limited by one or the either, you can only go lower

[harsh quartz]

Probably using cables

[fossil frost]

4 ,monitors into the gpu, and the 5th via one of those usb3 to hdmi adapters that are in fact a super basic gpu in their own right and are just powerful enough to run a desktop

[sinful harbor]

Should I mix ram with different cas latency?

[fossil frost]

you SHOULDNT, but you CAN

[sinful harbor]

What happens

[fossil frost]

all ram will just run its self at the speed of the lowest rated stick

[sinful harbor]

kk

[lilac bear]

ok who asked

[fierce tinsel]

lol Knitted Breadsarus made it onto the latest sponsor spot.. Now they have to make one.

[viral rain]

Was bored so made this!

[prime crest]

Nvidia had me thinking I'd reccomend them again with the 4080 super ngl

[prime crest]

Bc u prolly posted recently alr

[fossil frost]

it may let you post if you can spell it correctly

[narrow dawn]

Guys i just bought an msi 4080 super and noticed it has a 3x8 vga cable connection. Ive got two daisy chain connectors that can occupy two of the slots each. Plugged each of them in and there is obviously an extra on the daisy chain because theres 3 connectors not 4 for the GPU. Its not working. Is this why?

[thorny badge]

found 3 trojans on my pc, removed all 3. what should i do now?

[harsh quartz]

Stop going to bad websites

[fossil frost]

be happy that you found and remove them

[harsh quartz]

….pray?

[indigo atlas]

Panic

[harsh quartz]

Profit!

[sweet bison]

Yall should i go metal thermal paste on my pc? The motherbord is sideways so would it drip down onto it eventually?

[fossil frost]

if you dont know the reason you need it... you dont need it

[sweet bison]

I want overclock

More

[fossil frost]

see my previous answer

[sweet bison]

90c

[fossil frost]

you clearly dont understand why you would need it, or what it would do, or how it works, so, you are not doing something that needs it

[harsh quartz]

If you want to overclock without doing bare minimum research, good luck

[sweet bison]

Ik but the only problem is that my cooler isnot doing the best and i can go to a much higher voltage safely im running a ryzen 5 5600x at like 1.22-1.23 v and i can go up to 1.3 v i did the resarch

[harsh quartz]

But not for the thermal solution

[sweet bison]

Huh?

[fossil frost]

if you want to set fire to your cpu, feel free, thermal paste isnt gonna help you not do that

[sweet bison]

Anyways i need to replace my thrrmal paste bc its like 4 years old

[indigo atlas]

¦|

[fossil frost]

you are going to break your motherboard or your cpu... so.. good luck with that

[sweet bison]

Ok

But how?

[fossil frost]

because you dont understand what you are doing

[sweet bison]

I do mostly

Im not gonna crank that shit up to 1.3 immediately

[fossil frost]

if you understood and knew why you needed liquid metal, you wouldnt be asking the question

and since you dont understand it... you ARE going to break your system

[sweet bison]

How will i break it like in what way

[fossil frost]

go and do your research, and you will see

asking someone on discord to make your decision and do your research for you, isnt doing research

[quasi belfry]

Damn, no enterprise or HEDT got them single core numbers

Or I can’t find one

Like 3960X ig but not really

[sweet bison]

Ig

[fair sage]

i would say nearly nobody needs or should need liquid metal

even inside PS5 it was a stupid idea

[sweet bison]

Fr

They added to much

Nah i gotta go bare die with metal thermal paste 😂

Jk

[calm swan]

my laptop has LM lol

[sweet bison]

Awful idea to watercool a bare die

Tiny ass hot spot in the cooler

[fair sage]

just don't come here when the liquid metal will short your system because you dropped some minimal amount outside/didn't seal it/million other things which can cause metal liquid to get out and short stuff

the amount of things that can go wrong for way too low gain makes liquid metal not worth it

[signal field]

Hi there o/

[obsidian kernel]

Thank God i don't gotta replace my monitor

I left it off all day yesterday and it fixed itself

[red mirage]

ngl y'all, what do you think of the CAT scanner?

[lilac bear]

good medical tool

[jovial wadi]

hi!

[magic crane]

whats that tape that alex keeps using in videos that annoys linus

[red mirage]

fair enough, i thought the vision pro 3d model was cool tho

[red mirage]

what tape?

[magic crane]

that's my question lmao

[red mirage]

the white pipe tape?

[magic crane]

he uses a double sided tape that seems indestructable and it seems to annoy linus

[red mirage]

have you got an example video clip i can reference

its probs 3m or smt htho, that stuff i good

[magic crane]

I just want some good padded double sided tape to stick my cf card reader onto my pc

Something that is strong enough to survive inserting cards 'n such

[red mirage]

literally just google 3M foam double sided tape or smth, 3M makes great adhesives, ive personally never had an issue with them, or look at a 5in card reader for the pc, it will fit in a drive slot

or use CA glue/hot glue is you are going for the jank factor

[magic crane]

didn't even think about a reader into that slot in the front of the pc

but I think I only have one usb connector on my motherboard and I'd rahter not lose the front io

[red mirage]

they kinda expensive, but they work really well, the mount in the front of the pc in a 5 in flobby disk reader

you can get adaptors for headers to usb for the rear io ports if there is one free

check this one out, looks good https://componentauthority.com/products/usb3-0-5-in-1-card-reader-multifunctional-5-25-front-panel-expansion-hub?variant=44109048578338&msclkid=21e90748ea041c5e9dc1616d7505b82a&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=All product&utm_term=4577404352658398&utm_content=Ad group %231

[obtuse mirage]

Everything I'm getting is off amazon

Hopefully like. 60$ ssd, idk

[marble pilot]

[lilac bear]

1TB

[obtuse mirage]

1tb

Perferrebly with cache. Idk how much it matters

[marble pilot]

ok hold on

[lilac bear]

funny enough kingspec is the only one that fits aside from silicone power

[obtuse mirage]

Wdym only one that fits

The m.2's are a standard size are they not?

[lilac bear]

$60 for 1TB

[obtuse mirage]

Oh

[lilac bear]

[obtuse mirage]

How good is kingspec?

[marble pilot]

well apparently good enough because i'm using it as my main drive in the computer i'm sending this from

[obtuse mirage]

How long have you had it?

[marble pilot]

not very long though

i built my pc ~3 weeks ago so not long

[obtuse mirage]

What about silicon power?

[marble pilot]

they're a good brand

this review is concerning tbh (on my ssd)

[obtuse mirage]

Oh damn

[marble pilot]

it hasn't burned up for me (yet )

[obtuse mirage]

Lmao

[marble pilot]

hey and it came with a gift card (idk if they're still doing that) but when i ordered it it came with a free $10 newegg gift card

(from newegg)

[lilac bear]

Australia has far less violence

[odd igloo]

In Australia we have a huge knife violence problem. Every day the is an another report of it on the news.

[grim belfry]

Still favourable to having more guns than people :)

[mystic river]

How's everyone doin at this late of an hour

anyone up right now?

where my LinusHeads at lmaoo

[manic torrent]

Pro tip: "every day it's in the news" is not a useful metric by which you measure stuff.

[grim belfry]

I was just reading a report on knife crime, and syringes are surprisingly common weapons in armed robberies

[full fossil]

over here, either you have atleast 4 AKs or similar or otherwise you're not conductin a robbery

[manic torrent]

To further this, unless you are providing unequivocal evidence, any statement of a "huge" crime problem is safely assumed to be alarmist garbage.

[lone shadow]

same with the UK

they dont even allow to defend yourself

how is a person supposed to protect themselves against a guy with a machete

ex-servicemen can and do get special permission to carry firearms with them and even conceal carry

but no use as we cant use it

[lone shadow]

take a trip around south london

[manic torrent]

Last time I checked, south London wasn't in Australia.

[lone shadow]

Knife violence is alot in both UK and Australia

crime is at all time high at both places

every single day some poor sod gets stabbed

[manic torrent]

Absolute total garbage.

[lone shadow]

do you live in any of the countries ?

[manic torrent]

No I live on the moon. Where .... Crime is at an all time high.

[lone shadow]

so america

there is a reason why body armor is legal to buy here

the ability to own a firearm and discharge it when your life is in danger is something to appreciate

[manic torrent]

Oh will you shut up

[grim belfry]

LMAO

the solution to violence is guns, duh

[lone shadow]

so now you're resorting to common insults instead of communicating like a normal human ?

[lone shadow]

no it isnt

[manic torrent]

You claim that crime is at an all time high, and you should be allowed to shoot people and expect me to take you seriously?

[grim belfry]

...

[lone shadow]

ill take a puff of my cigarette watching you get stabbed to death while you cant do anything to defend yourself

have fun going against 5 guys with knives and machetes

[manic torrent]

I mean., I live in the suburbs my dude.

[lone shadow]

oh and you cant use anything apart from your fists

but i expect machetes will cut off your hands before the end of the first minute

[manic torrent]

I mean, I was down the shops before and I think some kids might have had a dangerous vape

I ran away, it was very scary.

[lone shadow]

you can own a firearm to protect yourself and your family while if i have a taser = automatic 5 year sentence

[manic torrent]

I called the cops, because crime

[manic torrent]

Dude, I live in Australia.

Where crime is apparently at an all time high

[lone shadow]

well i live in the UK and its illegal to own anything apart from your fists

[manic torrent]

Sounds like communism

[grim belfry]

The amount of times i have reported the fucking convenience store near me for selling vapes to kids

[manic torrent]

I mean, I personally own a sword.

[lone shadow]

want to know how frustrating it is when you want to go to the park but all the fuckers are there

[fossil frost]

its perfectly legal to earn a gun or a knife in the uk. you can own many guns, as long as you have a licence (very strict licence requirements), and you can own as many knives of as many types of knife as you want. carrying those things in an illegal way... is what is illegal

[wispy marsh]

Is it Rebellion?

[manic torrent]

Yeah man I go to the park and there's like... People walking their dogs. Children. It's terrible!

[lone shadow]

nothing above a .22lr

[grim belfry]

I have an attack dog

[manic torrent]

Also the ducks!

[lone shadow]

secondly you cant own guns to protect yourself

third carrying a knife without a reason out in public is a crime

[manic torrent]

No it's a forged sword that I used in my marriage ceremony

[fossil frost]

my mate has several shotguns and 308's and 44 cal rifles.. hes part of a shooting club... he has them all licenced...

[grim belfry]

fucking heic

[lone shadow]

ill call the biggest bullshitting cap i ever saw

7.62x51mm is banned

straight up and so is .44 magnum

[wispy marsh]

I mean Rebellion

[fossil frost]

they are in his gun safe, in his house, police visit every 6 months to verify its safety

[lone shadow]

unless he lives up in the north ireland

[fossil frost]

noope, manchester

[grim belfry]

My chosen method of self defense

[fossil frost]

he isnt allowed to own pistols, of any kind at all, because any handgun is illegal... but rifles are fine

[lone shadow]

ill give the police a call and let them know a guy has .44 magnums and .308 rifles in his house

[lone shadow]

im sure that "friend" will be looking forward to 30 years behind bars

[manic torrent]

These guys will protect me

[fossil frost]

i didnt say he had a 44 magnum, i said he has a .44 rifle, and 308 rifle, which the police already know about, because he has the paperwork for them

ive been at his house while the police have been there

[lone shadow]

are you daft ? you cant own any .308 caliper gun 🤦‍♂️

[wispy marsh]

How do you have a garage several floors up?

[lone shadow]

.22lr a pistol or rifle and 12ga shotgun for hunting

[manic torrent]

Hwat?

[lone shadow]

i am authorized by his majesty to take my 9x19mm pistol with me where i go

its an authorized firearm only to be used if i am called for domestic terrorism

[grim belfry]

I'd forgot about the king

[lone shadow]

well he still is our king

[manic torrent]

When you get attacked by 5 dudes with machetes, you have to beat them off with your fists. Which happens constantly.

[lone shadow]

you realize you just told a serviceman of some sod owning a 7.62x51mm 💀

[lone shadow]

domestic terrorism means that special USF Units in the area may contact serviceman on their leaves to help them 🤦‍♂️

[manic torrent]

I mean I literally googled 308 UK and it came up with a bunch of places selling rifles......

[fossil frost]

its legal to own most rifles, as long as you have a licence, and licences outside of "standard" rules, are given on a case by case basis, and the first thing they check is "are you a realistic threat to the public"

[manic torrent]

Whoosh

[grim belfry]

lol

[manic torrent]

Is it possible that you are not the brightest bush in the barrel?

[full fossil]

guns are legal in the UK but mostly shotguns/rifles and certain pistols. very hard to get them though. you can't even legally own a bbgun unless it's got bright colours on it or you have a UKARA license (if you are in an airsoft club).

[lone shadow]

lets stop the cap

[fossil frost]

my mum is a counter terrorism officer, has been for 20 years, shes personally and professionally licenced to carry a G17, MP5-SF and a G36K...

[lone shadow]

nothing above a .22lr for rifles and or a 12 gauge for shotguns used for hunting

[fossil frost]

thats anybody on the street, without a licence

[full fossil]

and i think pistols are top loading only or the magazine has to be limited to 2 bullets in some cases

[fossil frost]

if i could be bothered to get a licence, i could go buy a 308 this afternoon from the gun shop about 5 miles from my house

[lone shadow]

man i own a glock 19 and i was allowed to bring my 5.56 rifle home during covid but i returned it at the start of the year

[fossil frost]

you have done nothing but spout shit and lie and be purposfully obtuse since you turned up in this channel.. so how about you stop "this crap"

[lone shadow]

you cant own anything above .22 dont you understand ?

man if i could own a .308 i would have done a long time ago

[manic torrent]

I have no guns at all it's amazing I survived this long

[lone shadow]

its in a briefcase locked in m storage unit

[full fossil]

i had some air guns when i was younger but you need a license for them now and good reason to have one.

[manic torrent]

My storage unit expressly disallows firearms iirc.

[lone shadow]

UKARA license

[lone shadow]

im talking homestorage

[full fossil]

yeah. target practice in your garden isn't good reason.

[fossil frost]

glock 19 is a hand gun, which ARE completely illegal in the uk... like, super illegal... more so than anything else that has been mentioned

[grim belfry]

extra safe!

[lone shadow]

so now you admit that 9x19mm is illegal

[fossil frost]

no, i didnt, im saying you are talking absolute bollocks

[manic torrent]

I was in the service! Don't you disrespect me!

[fossil frost]

"more so than anything else"... so... completely illegal.. is more illegal than "not illegal"

[full fossil]

legal in some cases. well last time i checked and it was years ago. i'm talkin things like humane dispatch and magazine is modified to 2 bullets i think. but yeah not something anyone can just go get.

[obsidian kernel]

Anyone know any good pc pre build brands?

[lone shadow]

you know what send me a video of your "mate" with a .308 rifle and a bullet in a video

ill go outside naked if those guns are legal

[manic torrent]

Send me a video of you fighting five dudes with machetes

[grim belfry]

I was a cadet in year 7!

[fossil frost]

that video WOULD be considered domestic terrorism, since the video alone would incite terror in more than 1 person

[lone shadow]

man you are full of bullshit

[lone shadow]

go to peckhalm and i never said i encountered that many roadmen

[fossil frost]

clearly you are talking shit, because if you DID work in counter terrorism, or were more than just a bullet sponge in the forces.. you would know that what you just asked for was downright fucking stupid

[lone shadow]

you fucking idiot

[grim belfry]

if you DID work in counter terrorism
you'd probably be breaking national security agreements for this argument

[lone shadow]

let me tell the police that a guy owns a .308 rifle

[fossil frost]

no, my mum works in counter terrorism, you are perfectly allowed to tell people thats where you work... as long as you dont disclose details of your opperations

[lone shadow]

im sure they will stop by with domestic terrorism units and teams to have a cup of tea

with your "mate"

[lone shadow]

yeah no one can take those firearms outside of the containment area unless authorized which by the looks of it your mum was

but why would she need a fully automatic submachine gun ?

[fossil frost]

i couldnt say, and neither could she

[lone shadow]

ask your mum lad if anyone can own anything above a .22lr

or a 12 gauge

[grim belfry]

Not the case lots of the time in Australia, I've had friends who do it and they can't really say much - "staff are required to be discreet throughout their career"

[lone shadow]

😂 go ahead im waiting

[fossil frost]

shes not a firearms licencing officer, so she wouldnt know or care... licencing officers are usually associated with your local police

[lone shadow]

you are by law required to tell people what was your unit in the army but anything above that no

[lone shadow]

🤣

dude and i mean it in the most polite way possible

go read on the uk.gov site first

[fossil frost]

i mean this in the most polite way possible, you are a liar, you have lied about practically everything you have said since you showed up in the channel last week, nobody should listen to a single thing you said... because you are talking complete shit 🙂

[desert dagger]

[full fossil]

can you block people? i don't know how. i'm new to discord

just askin... 🙂 lol

[lone shadow]

so even with undeniable evidence that this idiot is ranting on and on about what he does not know and claims whatever the fck he wants is true

[desert dagger]

”Self loading”

wont be true

[full fossil]

he may be wrong but you're going a bit hard here.

[grim belfry]

Now I think about it, that sounds very risky considering the high prevalence of PTSD etc in veterans

[fossil frost]

yeah, it used to be super easy, but, now... you have to visit their profile, then there are buttons to do it from there

[grim belfry]

And it makes it so tempting to click to show the message

[fossil frost]

not for me, it just irritates me that ive chosen to not see something, but, discord thinks that should now take up MORE room on the screen

No, it isn't what I'm saying, I'm saying that dangling participles are objectively hilarious

[lone shadow]

[bright silo]

Hello fellow gamers 👋

[thick quail]

am i the only one who feel bad when i buy pc upgrades, well buying expensive anything in general make me feel like crap, is it because im a cheap fooork lol

[full fossil]

Hello fellow g4m3r!!1!

[full fossil]

i feel good then i feel bad.

i already want to upgrade my PC but i'm telling myself i'm being stupid

[bright silo]

I mean I’m frugal so I feel that. Though given life situations I’m going to reward myself with gpu upgrade at the end of the year.

[full fossil]

yeah, i usually tell myself i deserve it lol

[bright silo]

Do I need the upgrade? Probably not but it’ll be fun lol

[full fossil]

i'm just waiting for a 9950X and a 5080/5090... hehehe

just kiddin (kinda)

i don't know what i'll do. i'll need to have an argument with myself first

[bright silo]

i probably wont go that high-end

eyeballing 7900 GRE atm but that'll probably change

my 6700XT is fine for now

[full fossil]

for me that's really only the parts that would be worth upgrading too. i already have a 7950x3d and a 4080. so yeah i really really dont need to upgrade. i told myself i'll skip the next gen cpu/gpu but it depends how long a life am5 is gonna have

[bright silo]

ooo fancy

i dont game enough for high-end stuff

[full fossil]

i do usually keep my pc for 3-4 years so i'm just being silly

[bright silo]

see i tell myself ill keep my PC for 3-4 years then i want new shiny

[full fossil]

to be honest i hardly game and when i do it's games like rocket league, valorant, train sim, or something that isn't demanding haha. i tell myself some day i'll need all these cores and gpu power. i did build it for games but i struggle to sit and play them lol

[bright silo]

i just dont have time or when i do i am choosing to do other things

[full fossil]

It's absolutely hilarious what am I reading lmfao

[full fossil]

i have time but not so much attention span

[bright silo]

turns out work is work

who knew?

[manic torrent]

Capitalism breaks us all.

[bright silo]

are you a red? hmmmmmm

[full fossil]

it can take me months to play a game lol

[past fjord]

I spent so long tediously typing my setup in #1019713714968088586 and then..

[manic torrent]

I am simply a realist.

[past fjord]

And the thing is idk what i did to deserve my time getting destroyed

[bright silo]

I was making Fallout ref not being serious tbh

[manic torrent]

It says it right there

[full fossil]

i started watching fallout tv show

[bright silo]

Fallout tv series was chefs kiss

[manic torrent]

Ah, yeah fallout TV show. It's pretty good.

[past fjord]

Whats a unicode? The small bullet dot?

[manic torrent]

Anything that isn't plain text.

[full fossil]

i've only watch 2 episodes but seems good. i have no interest to replay any games though

[manic torrent]

I am hanging out for the fallout 4 patch

[bright silo]

tbh tv series starts slow but it builds

[manic torrent]

I had barely played 4, only a few hours, but I am into it now

[past fjord]

It was in the forums tho

[full fossil]

i think my playthrough was about 70 hours. i remember i didn't do everything and i planned to go back to it but never did.

[bright silo]

ive played 4 a whole bunch, kinda want to finish Far Harbor and Nuka World but eh

[manic torrent]

Yes, the rules and formatting is not the same.

[manic torrent]

Cut and paste into a plain text editor like notepad and it will clean it

[bright silo]

Stealth build plus Gauss Rifle is fun... one shot everything lmao

[past fjord]

Welp it is what it is i guess

[harsh quartz]

I played it the other day for the first time, less than an hour in my hud entirely glitched out and was unplayable, I just kinda stopped after that :p

[wet harness]

any somewhat fast and free way to transfer 100 gb to a friend?

[tired glade]

Put it on SSD and give him the drive

[full fossil]

yeah definitely SSD. maybe a USB drive if you have one big and fast enough. still faster than uploading anywhere unless you have really good upload speeds.

[unkempt bluff]

Gonna cost him his SSD 😂

[tired glade]

200 ssd pretty cheap nowadays

[unkempt bluff]

It's not about the price mate

It's the data plus ssd free for a friend lol

[tired glade]

Oh,that price

[surreal tusk]

usb would be your best bet but an ssd is better if you have the connectivity and the space for it

[wet harness]

its over the internet as he lives across the world

[full fossil]

well

[wet harness]

right now we using teamviewer and its so slow

[full fossil]

I think dropbox still does 100gb

[wet harness]

i searched, a basic is 2 gb

[short quartz]

oh, ty

what you need 100gb for anyway?

also if your upload speed is slower than your download, then uhhhh RIP

you'll be there until the end of time

[full fossil]

put it on a usb and ship it to him, or break it up into 10gb increments and then send it to him

[wet harness]

dont have a usb big enough, and not possible to break up, guess 12 hours transfer is just the way.

[short quartz]

well damn

[full fossil]

what is the data? can you compress it any?

[proven sinew]

messed up so bad my pig noclipped

[harsh quartz]

Is it really that hard to believe that they can just give the ssd back?

[marsh falcon]

[summer folio]

Why would such a gentleman have SteamTM on quick launch?
Nobody uses steam, surely?

You just lend your games there, tf

Unless you create a new account for every game you buy
So you can resell your games threw the associated account.

It is the one life hack Steam doesn't want you to know about

Like why would anyone buy a "new" digital steam game
When they can buy the steam game "used" on Facebook Market place/ebay or the likes.

[full fossil]

Hello friends

Seems like a lot of work if you want to play a different game or have friends you consistently play with.

To the moderators since I can’t tag them on mobile here, I used the LTT invite link to check and there is a detected bot account here as there is a front end page to check in the thread on the linked Twitter.

Pirate Software (@PirateSoftware) on X

Want to kill the Spy Pet bot on your favorite Discord server? They let their account ID's leak from their official API. Then they changed that to trick everyone into banning Scrumpy.

Now we have a tool to get the bot ID's anyway.

1. Turn on Discord Dev Tools. Settings >…

Twitter · Apr 21, 2024, 2:59 PM

[desert dagger]

Its a public forum what do you expect?

[neon notch]

There is nothing wrong with letting them know there is a bot in here scraping data to be put up for sale.

[dusky jacinth]

Strangely though it's been removed already, the name for that bot still shows up in that checker.

Maybe it's remnant data or something since I can't find it, but I'm not entirely sure why it's still shown as being here.

[feral quiver]

So upon watching a bunch of other canadian tubers, I went looking through my authorized apps list in discord and I noticed that Floatplane bot has the 'Join servers for you' permission

specifically No Text To Speech Youtuber.

[sage quiver]

This was handled before that tweet was posted. The web tool has no mechanism for determining whether the bot is still present, unfortunately, so we’ve been getting nonstop messages since :P

[dusky jacinth]

Damn.

[feral quiver]

oh xD that's funny

[ionic abyss]

So I'll guess the seasonic prime 1200 psu listed on ebay new inbox for $30 is likely not legit

[feral quiver]

mmm yeah I would say 98% not legit

[ionic abyss]

I see pc power and cooling got bought by ocz

They used to make great psus

[feral quiver]

To reitterate why 'Join Servers For you' is bad... and shouldn't even exist is this video. Not saying Luke is doing anything nefarious with the Floatplane bot xD I just noticed that it does request the ability to 'Join Servers For You' which if the bot does get compromised could be a bad thing. https://youtu.be/nfudlY_RV9g?si=szYA9s_nV8S0SaWe&t=103

[grizzled saffron]

Should i buy a s22 ultra or a iphone 13 pro( I don’t live in the US)

[tepid jasper]

both are awful

[stone cape]

Hi

[hearty spear]

for 1080 you want 24" at the largest

32" 1440p == 24" 1080 for pixel density

32" 1080 = 69ppi which is REALLY bad

[sage quiver]

If I had to guess, it’s likely used the same way Patreon uses it — for easy one-click joins after subscribing to a tier with Discord perks.

[hearty spear]

dm me a link?

[feral quiver]

I get why they have it but it's a very dangerous permission

[sage quiver]

If the bot is compromised, there are bigger problems. But I do see why there’d be concern there.

so. i have a 12700hx with 32gb of ram, and a 3070 in a lenovo thinkpad from work... work sent out an email a few days ago saying they were taking requests for new equipment.. so cheekily i asked for one of these new 14900hx with 64gb of ram, and an rtx a5000... thinking they would look up in the equipment list what i already had, and say no

my new thinkpad with a 14900hx, 64gb of ram, and an rtx a5000 is coming tomorrow 😄

and what is this arm processor junk doing outside a phone

x86 is better for most desktop usage

[wraith sonnet]

Apple m1?

It's just an architecture with a decent translation layer it's kinda irrelevant

doesnt vision pro use m2?

[wraith sonnet]

I thought it was R1 or some shit

[ionic abyss]

i can kinda see arm in laptop

[full fossil]

that's the other one the hand tracking one

it has 2 chips
the R1 that runs the hand tracking stuff

aslo how is the vision pro causing users to get black eyes during usage

[wraith sonnet]

https://youtu.be/argfZlPZKdY?si=TK-jf6Y485d3C8NG

With Linux basically embracing it we're just waiting on a decent translation layer in the same vain as DXVK or someone to port the apple version since that's already Unix.

[ionic abyss]

linux is a good second os

[wraith sonnet]

Ngl an arm based steam deck with UCIE for a Zen 2/3 gpu would be hype. Although I've not looked into the power efficiency of Alchemist in a while

i see specs then i see looks

if it has a 4090 but looks like dookie nah

the tuf one has a 4070 and a 1080p 15.6 inch for 1166$ btw

but i care abt future proofing too so the extra vram matters yk

[lilac bear]

future proofing

once you get high specs it'll be hard to agree with future low spec

[wispy marsh]

The 1080Ti is a good futureproofing card

I think im on it rn

[pallid falcon]

Turn see if you have a XMP or "extreme memory profile" option

[tall phoenix]

you have to go into advanced mode on your bios

then go to Ai tweaker

it may be some other name but just look for tweaker

then youre gonna see an option for AI overclock tuner

click the drop down and change that from "Auto" to "XMP I" (or it may be DOCP depending on the processor)

and then save and exit then youre good

[bitter geode]

The what

[tall phoenix]

i think

[long briar]

not really

Peak nvidia is yet to come

they're still going up in just about every way

The issue with the 1080ti was that AMD got everyone hyped about Vega 64 and saying how fast it was compared to the 1080 and given they did bring some decent performance gains last generation, Nvidia launched the 1080ti in response to the Vega hype... then it turned out the vega 64 was basically a normal 1080 and Nvidia had overcompensated with the 1080ti...
It wasn't even Nvidia's fault. As one user on Anandtech said "The community collectively agrees that Vega will cost more or less or the same as the 1080 Ti and will be faster or slower or perform the same." which... didn't happen when vega launched

[potent cedar]

did you plug in the wireless antennae ?

[bitter geode]

Yes

[vapid smelt]

we had to wait for the rx 5700xt for 1080ti performance

[potent cedar]

the 5700xt is still slower lol

also iirc overclocking on it is pretty much completely broken

[bright silo]

Vega 56 #1!

That’s my input 😂

[potent cedar]

i used to have a vega 56

i bought it for a fiver off a crypto miner after the crash

[long briar]

it isn't?

It's about equal at 1440p

[long briar]

Exactly

5700xt was actually pretty hyped as well

but Nvidia didn't take the bait which is why turing was honestly pretty disappointing in terms of performance gains

[vapid smelt]

2022* review

[potent cedar]

at least from what i've seen it's extremely close at 4k and a little bit slower at 1440p

[potent cedar]

oh yeah the 5700 xt did age better

[potent cedar]

to clarify i was looking at launch reviews

[vapid smelt]

amd launch drivers where shit amd gpus age like fine wine

[long briar]

Yea at launch AMD drivers were absolutely garbage

[potent cedar]

oh so update on work macbook. Told IT Director about the damage that happened when I dropped it. He said keep it they'll just write it off

I did not tell him if it is still in working condition he just knows it is damaged

after my dumbass dropped it around the left hinge.

[grim belfry]

Write it off™️

[pliant karma]

aka I can prob foot the bill and repair it myself

I just need to find a for parts 2019 16 MBP with a good screen assembly

[dusty depot]

Whew. Alright, I got every component removed from that horrendously broken (by design) case. I'm straight up going to 3D print a better case for it.

[pliant karma]

since that is the part I managed to dent

[grim belfry]

Good luck with that lmao

[pliant karma]

I mean it still works just a fucked up section on the screen assembly so I am in no rush to replace it

[dusty depot]

3D print a screen assembly.

[pliant karma]

lol that ain't happening

[dusty depot]

Yeah, but I mean, it's a macbook so like

[grim belfry]

😭

[dusty depot]

I don't know, it's so disappointing to think about all those wasted components that are just incompatible with real hardware.

[pliant karma]

lol sucker fell off my desk too so I was like damn

[dusty depot]

You could probably just bend that back with your thumb.

[grim belfry]

Lmao

[dusty depot]

just press hard

[pliant karma]

tried not helping but idc it still works

it's not the main laptop I always use.

[dusty depot]

Use some bolt cutters

That's how my wife tried to fix my 3D printer, and it uuh

Well, it'll work eventually... again...

Just gotta hide the bolt cutters

3D printing a laptop case is such a stupid task. My 3D printer's bed isn't even large enough, so I have to print multiple pieces and glue them together.

The one advantage is that I don't have to use those stupid hex screws.

I also won't design my laptop case to have flimsy little clips that break as soon as you open the laptop.

and I'll make sure the heat inserts don't come loose causing the screws to infinitely spin without ever loosening.

[covert jewel]

guys i accidently got superglue in a screw on my laptop now the standoff is turning with the screw itself, any ideas on how to dissolve the glue?

[dusty depot]

I'd suggest acetone, but uuh

you accidentally got superglue in the screw, imagine accidentally getting acetone somewhere that it shouldn't be.

apply with a cotton swab if you go that route

gently and carefully.

[covert jewel]

it actually happened when i was trying to repair the hinge mount and i screwed it back in without giving it much time to dry and now the screw and the standoff are married to each other

[dusty depot]

brute force might work to unpair the bond.

Got a drill and some electrical tape?

[covert jewel]

i do but ill try acetone first

ill remove the mobo to avoid damage

[dusty depot]

Truth is, even with acetone, you might still need to do some brute forcing.

The acetone might make it easier, but it depends on your superglue.

[grim belfry]

Vinegar also removes superglue!
