hello

[unkempt bluff]

Just me or gpu prices are a bit inflated at the moment?

[serene dew]

Yep, especially Nvidia's cards. That'll hopefully improve with 50 series, but we don't know if that's gonna happen, chances are rather small

[manic torrent]

Only for the last 4 years

[harsh quartz]

[summer folio]

13:37! EU

[serene dew]

Same for motherboards (though maybe not in the same time span)

[dreamy thorn]

They should fire the moderation team after the stunts they pulled last night

We should also never forget the biased censorship that Sony is doing right now

[proper warren]

Yo guys i need help w my pc, just bought new cpu and problem od that it wont start, BIOS should be updated

[steel marsh]

yea, won for now but sony will try bullshit again in the future probs

[dreamy thorn]

For sure

The moderation team they should fire is the Helldivers one tbh

[steel marsh]

ye

[dreamy thorn]

They were straight up accusing people of very nasty illegal things last night

[steel marsh]

ye

[harsh quartz]

Their discord moderation team?

[austere shale]

Bios might need to be updated depending on what you upgraded to, obviously check if the cpu is even compatible with motherboard, and if there’s any indicator lights on the mobo see what ones are lighting up with you power it on

Also I wasn’t super mad about the helldivers thing until I saw that there are countries that just can’t get PSN accounts, so that’s fucked

[dreamy thorn]

[proud estuary]

I recently started playing League of Legends, enjoying it more and more. Now Riot updated the anticheat to require TPM 2.0 (on Win11, afaik Win10 doesn't) but I'm on Win11 with TPM 1.2 (bypassed requirement). Riot said I need to buy new hardware

[harsh quartz]

Take it as a sign

[idle nymph]

its a sign

[proud estuary]

But I don't want to play anything else currently, or more like it's difficult to, games I want to play force 16:9 and my monitor broke, now I'm using an old 5:4 one

Other than league

I still could just downgrade to Win10 but it's time consuming

[austere shale]

Based, the last thing I ever want to do is fuck with a windows install

I have a buddy that at the slightest inconvenience, blue screen, whatever. He reinstalls windows

[harsh quartz]

I’ve found my windows works best when reinstalled about once a year

[white dune]

is there any free gift now for getting rtx 4070?

[graceful burrow]

Homie what

[white dune]

like free cd key

[short quartz]

uhhhh

[spice pine]

depends on the seller, and those bundles are typically advertised

[short quartz]

last i checked you cant download a 4070 💀

[white dune]

arent those depends on Nvidia?

well the seller told me no 😦

[spice pine]

sometimes, but not always

[white dune]

i always miss the deals 😦

just got myself a rtx4070 today
it doesnt even have white led for the branding

Hi

[graceful burrow]

Hi

[polar fern]

That’s more like it

[graceful burrow]

Only 72w?

[polar fern]

This processor is pretty impressive for 65 W TDP. It never ceases to surprise.

Just dusted everything and I definitely see a few degrees lower temps

[graceful burrow]

Your 5700x should be pulling more than 72w at full tilt

Considering my 5600 pulls 121 when I hit it with a full load

[vapid smelt]

On gns review it did 65watts measured at the 12 volt cable

[keen cedar]

My 5600x drew 90w on stock bios

Now it does 120w at 4.75 all core

[graceful burrow]

But did gn enable pbo

[vapid smelt]

Nah stock testing

[graceful burrow]

Idk why you wouldn't enable pbo

[fast cloud]

[austere shale]

I don’t understand the whole bear thing going on over in Instagram world

[spice pine]

Gee, I wonder why.

[graceful burrow]

Not really appropriate for here anyway if it's what I'm thinking of

[austere shale]

Im not gonna get anything but surface level. But just looking at the comment section it seems like no matter what choice anybody makes it’s the wrong one. Like if I jumped into the tiger cage at the zoo I wouldn’t expect anybody to jump in and save me.
I work in confined spaces and have seen first hand somebody go down a manhole without safety equipment, pass out and in my training I was specifically told to not go down and try to save them because I will die too, so I just had to watch him lay down there motionless until first responders got on scene

[graceful burrow]

Again, not appropriate for here so I ain't even readin all that

[austere shale]

🤷‍♂️ surface level

suppp

i failed highschool in my final semester and now can no longer go to college we thinkin w or L

[stoic beacon]

Go to trade school 👍

[harsh quartz]

There is no positive here

[shell wyvern]

dik wtf that is

[harsh quartz]

Lots of jobs still require high school diploma or GED

[shell wyvern]

no just me feeling like shit and my parents being disapointed in me

[stoic beacon]

Nevermind, you're doomed.

[shell wyvern]

im in america fyi but

[eager notch]

Can't you just go another semester?

Or get your GED

[shell wyvern]

yes but then i am a super senior

[harsh quartz]

GED is the better option but workforce is probably the best

[harsh quartz]

Wait you can actually just go another semester?

[shell wyvern]

would rather kms ngl, all my junior friends being the same grade as me cus i failed out

summer school or another FULL year

[stoic beacon]

That's better than dying of starvation due to the lack of a job.

To clarify, the going back for another year part, not the other part.

[eager notch]

Is there a problem with that?

[harsh quartz]

Oh wow, what’s this, the sounds of the consequences of your actions

[shell wyvern]

besides me getting bullied till im on the verge of Kms no ig not

[eager notch]

I'm like on year 7 of finishing my undergrad...

[shell wyvern]

different in high school

[eager notch]

Go online then

[stoic beacon]

If you think people are mean in high school, just wait until you get to the big world.

[tardy terrace]

lmao hs is a cesspool of idiotic choices & behaviors

[velvet root]

TBH the people I had to deal with in high school were pretty crappy

I could describe the school district where I came from as not understanding what they had

[hearty spear]

don't go to a private HS: then you get wealthy, entitled dickheads who think they deserve to get away with those shitty behaviors

[austere shale]

Man, shits gonna be alright. Don’t listen to most people here they can be dickheads.
I barely barely passed high school. If you gotta go back then that is what it is. School sucks and there’s no lie in that but the second you get that piece of paper you’re done, you can do whatever you want and it’s not the end of the world.
I went from literally passing by .5 credits to now making over 100k a year. You don’t gotta go to college if you don’t want to and honestly sometimes it’s not worth it no matter what anybody says

And yk what, people are going to talk shit, that’s just how the world is. But you can’t let mfs get to you, if you’re a super senior that just means you care enough to finish your education and yk what that takes dedication. A lot of people fail and don’t go back

And if people wanna talk shit? Go into the trades and make more money in one year than they’ll see for the next 4

[shell wyvern]

I actually am graduating

Can't believe it ngl but I got denied from the college that previously accepted me

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but our public school was also a cesspool of idiots

[austere shale]

Well, that’s bittersweet, but there’s plenty of colleges out there

[austere shale]

Honestly most of the school system in general is awful

[cyan raft]

went to a private elementary school but public highschool

kids would get into fights every other day

[austere shale]

I went to a public high school in a fairly affluent area, so I got the worst of both worlds. You either had the rednecks trying to hook chains in the parking lot with their trucks or daddy’s money driving Porsches or Aston martins to school

[muted tusk]

are we agreeing toughness is whoever makes the more nasty insult

[harsh quartz]

No, I promise, that’s not the worst

The worst was having 3 bomb threats in 2 years, a shooting in 9th grade, a kid pulled out of class in 10th with a pistol, people unable to read past a 2nd grade level, and having to go on lock downs much too often cause the grocery store next door keeps getting robbed

[fringe lily]

The supercomputer that was sold for half a million dollars is actually an insane deal

If i had half a mil i wouod buy it

[spice cypress]

I used to build HPCs. What the hell would you do with it?

[fringe lily]

Its literally the top 20th biggest supercomputer

Prolly could create an ai company

Maybe not

[spice cypress]

you couldnt afford to cool it, much less power it. Then its a batch based system so unless you have specific workloads, it wouldnt be of much use to you

[fringe lily]

I guess but if i hire alot of people i can make it work probably

Or i could crash the xeon cpu market by selling 8000 xeon cpus at like 1% profit (i would make like 100k) and the cpu market would probably crash

So many uses

[fringe lily]

The power of the market is in ur hands

[spice cypress]

I got a couple old Intel Itanium procs around here you are more than welcome to 😛

[fringe lily]

Lol

Also the computer does 3 billion calculations for every watt consumed

I dont know what that means by i guess 1000 watts = 3 trillion calculations i guess

Or 10000 = 30 trillion

That can do heavy ai

Personally i would get a team of 5 to maintain it

And get a good cooling system

Then use it for ai

Or i could pull a mrbeast

And make it so anyone can use it whenever

[spice cypress]

research what it takes just to cool it.

5 years is typically when Academia/Govt dumps their clusters off

[fringe lily]

6k gallons per minute damn

I would run it at 10 wats and do 30 billion calculations 💀

[spice cypress]

to calculate......

[fringe lily]

Not really

To do ai

Its wayy better then linus’s 1 million dollar build

I mean if i am gonna spend 500k on a computer

Might asweel get a house for it lmao

[harsh quartz]

Just to cool it? Hell, just to run the damn thing

[manic torrent]

I mean it won't run for long without cooling!

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but you don’t need to cool if it fries your grid when you flip the switch

[manic torrent]

But forget that, you first have to have logistics and real estate

[harsh quartz]

Have to own a warehouse just to store it

[graceful burrow]

Not really
Still really rare for a 1:1 display

[harsh quartz]

I feel like most the ones I grew up with were 1:1 but could’ve been 4:3, I don’t really know

I just assumed all them old square lookin bubble TVs were 1:1

[graceful burrow]

You're assumption is really really wrong lol

4:3 was the standard like 16:9 is now

Or rather, was in like 2017
Ultrawides are fairly popular now

[harsh quartz]

I would recommend doing the paperclip test on your psu
Just incase you don't know how to do that

1. Power off your psu and unplug it
2. Get a paperclip and find the sense wire on the 24 pin (it should be green)
3. Bridge the green to one of the ground pins.
4. Plug your psu in and flick the power switch to on
5. Look for signs of life (spinning fan, lcd display lit, etc etc)
6. If your psu doesn't turn on its most likely dead

Make sure to unplug ALL cables on your psu

After years of shit I finnaly have a direct cable to my router

[harsh quartz]

As opposed to an Indirect cable?

[warm rivet]

I used to have a wifi booster with a cable to my pc

I got like 30mbs and 130ms ping

Now I'm on this

Sadly now I can't lie about bad internet anymore

[dense coral]

I wish I could do that. If only I could punch through several square feet of drywall and crown molding to run a cable across my house from my shtty ahh router 😔

[harsh quartz]

I mean, you could just run it along the floor

[frozen fractal]

I got a better wifi router, and that was faster than my cable. The key is to have it operate in unused spectrum of the newer standards.

[dense coral]

up the stairs

I would also have to run it directly across the floor in my living room to reach the stairs

[harsh quartz]

You can run it along the wall, like a little piece of trim

Or staple it to the ceiling, that way, when guests come over, it’s a conversation starter

[dense coral]

I suppose...

Ceiling run would probably be better
Honestly though it wouldn't even be worth it unless I just got a new router

So that's a me problem

Also not my house I'd need parent's permission to do that most likely

lol my silvershaft one is all scratched up but hey it has been abused and used on a lot of film sets now.

[harsh quartz]

Nice, my black shaft is starting to to turn silver but I still think it was the better choice

[pliant karma]

rip but hey it is being used

ironically my utility belt I carry around when doing events for my school my ltt screwdriver and multitool are considered weapons on campus. Minus the roll of gaff tape and grip gloves I have

but I need it working as the brodcast crew

[visual fern]

how deep should a desk be to have a curved monitor and a keyboard on it

[graceful burrow]

I feel like that's personal preference

[strange elk]

I deleted all the partitions on a drive, and nothing else using gparted. Is there a way to quickly recover them? It was the wrong drive lmao

[graceful burrow]

Send it to a specialist if you truly care about the data

Saw someone just yesterday wipe a drive to an unrecoverable state trying to recover deleted data

[strange elk]

Doing this right now. Its not entirely important, mostly want my FONV save, everything else ive got backed up aside maybe latest unity projects but.. Whatever

Using Medicat to run this right now

[graceful burrow]

You could try recuva if you're hellbent, it might see it

[strange elk]

Only if its quicker than.. 3 hours

[graceful burrow]

Might be who knows

hi

[marsh oracle]

human geography

[fossil frost]

was on to tech support at my ISP today because while my router was absolutely fine to give me my full gigabit connection via wired, but... over wireless, 50mbit max... tech told me that "you cant be getting 50mbit, because you wouldnt be able to watch youtube without it buffering about 100 times every minute, 50mbit isnt enough to watch youtube"....

"really... because... 4k on youtube only needs 20mbit... and 1080p needs 5mbit... both with a little bit of overhead, so... no... "

tech then told me i was lying to them...

[calm swan]

damn

[harsh quartz]

Something along the lines of “explain different forms of energy that can be harvested from the oceans and explain the benefits and consequences of each in depth”

This was AP environmental sciences, liked that class

[graceful burrow]

That is a fun question

[harsh quartz]

I was able to get a 5 on that test, and then I never used it whatsoever.

[magic crane]

pixel 8 vs nothing phone 2 which should i get

[fossil frost]

its up to you, its your money

[harsh quartz]

Didn’t the nothing phone have issues with lack of software support?

[magic crane]

Yea good point google is a much bigger company that probably has better support

[harsh quartz]

I mean, don’t take my word for it, go research it

[ionic abyss]

Is $149 for a 40 Innch qled t b a good buy

And what is qled

4k refreshed with 1 year warranty

[strange elk]

Its a 1tb drive

Theres so many duplicates and I can't find a thing that filters them out

[ionic abyss]

So is a refreshed 40 inch qled 4k a good buy for 149$

How do I add an app to my desktop

I can't find the app anywhere in my files

[runic estuary]

A shortcut to it? Right click it and choose add to desktop or whatever it’s labeled

[shell eagle]

I pinned it to my taskbar but I can't find the executable anywhere

[harsh quartz]

Search for it in search bar, right click, open file location

[shell eagle]

it doesn't show that

it doesn't show see more options either

[runic estuary]

If you can find the process in task manager you should be able to right click it and find its location

[harsh quartz]

If you were able to pin it to task bar, you should be able to find it to open file location

[shell eagle]

yep that worked thx

but the executable doesn't come with the icon and now it looks fucked

like all the other apps have nice high res icons and this one is just pixels

[runic estuary]

You can update it

[stoic beacon]

What program?

[shell eagle]

Adobe Fresco

[stoic beacon]

That's odd, does it have an icon in the taskbar when you launch it from Creative Cloud?

[shell eagle]

yup

[stoic beacon]

Oh wait, Fresco is the iPad one, isn't it?

[shell eagle]

Yeah ig

but I have it on windows

[stoic beacon]

Eh, no clue then. Last I checked, it wasn't really supported on Windows. We all still use Photoshop for any sort of drawing and painting

Or Affinity, depending on the person

[shell eagle]

Why do people use Photoshop instead of fresco when it is literally dedicated to digital art

[amber spindle]

new hades game thoughts

[runic estuary]

They used to using PS for years

[stoic beacon]

Because Photoshop is significantly more powerful, and contains all of the same functionality that Fresco does.

I use a computer and keyboard to write, even though a pencil is dedicated to writing.

[calm swan]

is procreate good? i heard lots of good things about it

[shell eagle]

Ok so I downloaded a high res icon and made it an .ico file but windows refuses to put it

[stoic beacon]

Procreate is absolutely incredible, if you're wanting to casually draw or paint on the go. Completely useless if you're trying to integrate it into a workflow though.

[calm swan]

thats nice

[shell eagle]

says there is no icon file in this folder

[stoic beacon]

It's also entertainingly difficult to get the images off of the device. You can share it to social media, share it across iMessage, etc. But if you want the actual image file, it gets compressed if you upload it to anything but iCloud. I'm guessing Apple has some sort of deal with them.

[shell eagle]

Whatever

guess it is not meant to be

[runic estuary]

Airdrop?

[stoic beacon]

Doesn't help me get it onto my PC

[runic estuary]

True

[shell eagle]

I once tried it in the apple store and it seemed like I there a hidden painter in me

iPad + Procreate is a mint combo

Also my computer thinks that I still have a 90GB game on my comupter and I can't do uninstall because the uninstall executable is deleted

[hoary glade]

👋

[dense coral]

Lmao been there done that

Not with 90gb at stake though

[harsh quartz]

Run the windows uninstall troubleshooter

[ebon socket]

Any1 got a clue on how to remove 2FA Authenticator in Microsoft Admin Exchange or Azure? i cant get a grip on these tutorial videos since the option doesnt show up in the same location where its in the videos

[strange elk]

I afcidently deleted all the partitions on the wrong windows drive and all I want are my fallout new Vegas saves but the restore utility I'm using won't get them downloaded and I couldn't bring back the partition because for some reason it has 3-4 copies of most files, somehow finding 4tb of data on a 1tb drive

I guess that concludes my capital wasteland run

Benny stole my stuff and I'm never getting it back lmao

[harsh quartz]

Ngl, this works like half the time. Also iTunes is a bitch to install on some machines for no reason

[minor pine]

I got a Intel core i9 14900KF on Intel website it says max of 2 memery channels 5600mt ddr5 but a different source tells me 192 is the max it supports I went with 128 gigs ddr5 Corsair vengeance 5600 each Asus rog Maximus z790 is my ram going to work with my cpu/mb PC part picker says it will but want to double make sure

At long last, it has arrived! 😄

[strange elk]

Man I need money again

They have me sold on the retro colors

[austere shale]

At what point do you think car manufactures started to choose “efficiency” over reliability. I.e. newer Toyotas using 0w-8 oil

[night heron]

your processor has two memory channels, but two sticks of memory can be used per channel, which is how you're able to use 4 sticks total

as for getting 4x32GB to work at 5600MT/s i dont know, itll depend on your motherboard and luck

ive seen people run higher than that but ive also seen people be stuck with 4800 or 5200 when using four sticks

Revo Uninstaller

J2C has done a couple vids on it, and it is great

[grim belfry]

bulk crap uninstaller is great

[runic sierra]

Anyone know why google's nest wifi pro would be throttling 1 out of 3 wired connections? I cannot figure this out.

[runic estuary]

QoS?

[runic sierra]

Wasn't the issue before hooking up the nest. Had a normal router and it worked just fine

[grim belfry]

There are only 2 ports per station, no?

[real idol]

hi

[runic sierra]

Yes, I got a Coax cable coming in to my modem.
From my modem, it connects to the 1st and primary nest wifi router.
Another ethernet cable passes through the 1st primary nest to a switch.
The switch has 3 cables outgoing.
Desktop in the same room (Good speeds)
TV in next room over (Good speed)
My desktop across the house. (Poor speed)

Before this, I had a normal router. (Fried in a storm last night)
Coax into modem
Modem into router
Router had multiple ports
Desktop in same room, TV, and my desktop all wired into router
Speeds for all 3 were great

I've used the same cables. Speed tests on the desktop in the same room and the TV show good speeds despite being connected to the switch. So I don't believe that's the culprit.

[grim belfry]

Have you tried prioritising the device that gets poor speeds in the app? It may well be QoS

[runic sierra]

It is not shown in the app.

[grim belfry]

Oh yeah

unmanaged switch?

[runic sierra]

Not sure what that means

[grim belfry]

dw, it is.

In your network card's properties, the link speed may be getting negotiated to 100mbps

[runic sierra]

Think I found it, but it only lets me prioritize for 1hr, 2hr, 4hr or 8hr. Not permanently.

[grim belfry]

Open control panel
Click Network and Internet, and click Network and Sharing Center.
Click Change adapter settings in the left panel.
In the pop-up window, double-click the target network adapter, your Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
Then you can check Speed under Connection to check the connection speed of your Ethernet or Wi-Fi adapter when connected to the network.

[runic sierra]

This was not the case before using Google's nest mesh system

I don't see a way to change it either

[grim belfry]

And the link speed of the other desktops is 1000mbps

[runic sierra]

I was on the phone with googles support for literally 2 hours. Doing everything from the most basic of troubleshooting problems, all the way to changing the DNS and trying to create a static IP. Nothing worked, they didn't seem to know what they were talking about, and it was painfully obvious they were just reading from a script. (I could hear them flipping pages and quietly reading to themselves the instructions then repeating it back to me)

We're supposed to have 500mb service. Enough for what I need it for. But I'm getting about 60-80mbps

Everywhere I keep searching I notice people having similar issues where their wired connections are being throttled. Yet no one seems to have any solutions

[grim belfry]

Yeah most consumer mesh products suck

Have you tried plugging the desktop directly into the nest, bypassing the switch?

[runic sierra]

Yup, and still throttled

[grim belfry]

But all the other devices are running at gigabit?

[runic sierra]

Yup, their service is running just fine. Speed tests on everyones phones are ok. The desktop down there is good. Even the TV is on par with it all.

My computer is the ONLY thing in this house getting shafted by this google nest.

[grim belfry]

I'd say it's the cable then

[runic sierra]

It's the same exact cable that was being used before switching to googles nest.

[grim belfry]

Cables die

[runic sierra]

Had the guys run a Cat5e cable through out the house in the walls. 2 days ago I was running fine with good speeds on my old router. My GF and me both downloaded a game and were playing together without issue.

[rustic tundra]

hello

[runic sierra]

Then we had a storm, internet went out, router wouldn't work correctly. Modem still had power and internet, router still had signal and could be connected to. But for some reason the router would NOT receive internet from the modem. (Connecting directly to modem provided internet with no issue)

So I know it's not the cable

Spectrum internet even went so far as to recommend we swap our modem. Which I went this morning, did so, and still had issues. So it was determined the router was bad.
Went BACK out, got this google mesh system, and like I said, everything works. The computer downstairs, TV, and wifi is fine. It's literally just my computer.

[runic estuary]

Ohhh it’s not throttled, it’s being negotiated at 100mbps

I just had some weird speed issue with my PC. I updated the NIC drivers and magic. Downloaded em from the motherboards site instead of letting windows find em. Worth a shot @runic sierra

[fair sage]

get a network card if you were using ethernet on your computer. it might got fried from induced energy

[runic sierra]

Will try that I suppose

[runic sierra]

I'm currently using the computer that's being throttled. It connects, it works. It uses the same cables that were working previously. Just locked at a slower speed.

[fair sage]

as i said, get a PCIe network card if it is a PC. You can get a 2.5 gigabit card for sub-20 euros

[runic estuary]

I wonder if the surge went through the Ethernet and damaged the cable. Have you tried another one?

[runic sierra]

It's the cable that's wired through out the house. Not easy or cheap to simply run all new cabling.

[runic estuary]

Oh damn

[grim belfry]

Move the desktop, use a shorter cable

[fair sage]

more likely PHY on the NIC got partially damaged, that is why it might work at 100mbit and not at gigabit. But yeah, could also be the cable having one or multiple pairs burned through , resulting in the cable working at half the wires => 100 mbit

[runic sierra]

And if it damaged the cable, then how would I be using it currently? And why suddenly lock me at 100?

[runic estuary]

Yeah, worth doing that to test if other things aren’t working

[fair sage]

for 100 mbit, you need only half of the pairs to work

[grim belfry]

One pair can break and it just turns into a slower cable

[fair sage]

you can get a cable tester or another network card. Your choice 🙂

[runic sierra]

Googling the issue, it seems a LOT of peple are suffering from this same exact issue.

So again I'm not convinced its the cable.

[fair sage]

talking about cables, i had one of the weirdest issues when talking about broken cables

that was a 2.5 gigabit switch to 2.5 gigabit NIC 😄

[grim belfry]

It's worth a shot to move the desktop and use a known good cable. Lets you rule out a potential culprit.

[fair sage]

replaced the cable, full 2.37Gbps or so

[runic sierra]

First attempting the drivers

Not sure which it is though

[fair sage]

i would try to move the PC too, next to router, test with a different cable, see if it works at full speed or not. If not, it is the network card, if yes, it is the cable

[grim belfry]

Intel Lan driver

[runic estuary]

Intel lan

[covert cradle]

Don't download that lol, that's for sure wildly out of date compared to what you got from windows update. 2019

[runic estuary]

I remembering using 2 wires to split it and make a phone line over one cable back in the day 😂

[covert cradle]

Get drivers from the actual manufacturer:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18293/intel-network-adapter-driver-for-windows-10.html

[runic sierra]

Cheers for that, gonna restart, test again. If that doesn't help, guess I'm hauling my computer downstairs

[runic estuary]

YOLO

[runic sierra]

Did not help. Time to shut down and unplug...

[runic estuary]

I have one more idea. Sometimes you can go into the settings for it in device manager and pick the speed @runic sierra

[covert cradle]

If it's borderline unstable that may work for some time, but the moment something pushes the instability over the edge it'll cause an interruption and downgrade back to 100M.

[runic sierra]

Not unstable, just slow. Got my computer downstairs, hooked up, starting now

Speed test all hooked up downstairs is giving a good speed

[slim yacht]

probably just the cable at this point

[runic sierra]

And not really any way I can test the actual cable..

It's a very long cable.

[slim yacht]

well you can if you have rj45 tester but that would require another trip to the store

sometimes there are instances where your pc can identify your cable as 100mbps full duplex as well instead of 1gb eventhough your cable is well damn capable to handle 1gb

[runic sierra]

Why would it switch to that though just by hooking up Google mesh nest? Lot of people complaining of my same issue with their nests, but I haven't seen any solutions. Save from them scrapping it and getting a different router or even more expensive mesh system

[slim yacht]

thats the usual issue if you go cat5e/5 and you have a router that has auto negotiation port. many times when this happen people just either switch router or just switch cables to cat6 for their solution lol

this is mostly hardware related

[runic sierra]

Is there a way to set it so it's NOT automatic?

[grim belfry]

Not on Nest wifi

Have you tried reinstalling you previous switch/router/ap combo, this will tell you if it's the nest or the cable

[slim yacht]

yeah not on nest wifi, you can however set your settings to have a "priority" device

maybe try that and see how it goes

[runic sierra]

Old routers WAN port is non responsive. Can't revert.

As for "priority", it only lets me set it for a max 8 hours. Tried that and it didn't work.

[covert cradle]

I'm referring to signal integrity not how it appears to the user. Higher speeds requires higher frequencies which are less tolerant to cabling issues and noise in your environment

[slim yacht]

https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleWiFi/comments/smhri5/only_getting_about_100mbps_from_the_google_wifi/
maybe try reading into this. theres few solution in here

[manic torrent]

There is no identifying of cable, it negotiates with the other end

And unless a cable is damaged or literally antique, it will do gbit

[slim yacht]

its just a simplification

[runic sierra]

Already have cat5e throughout the house.
Switch is brand new. Just bought. Other devices from the switch are running at full speed, save for 1. Mine.
And setting priority doesn't work.

I've been searching this issue and seeing other people suffering from it without much resolve

[manic torrent]

Yes, but plenty of modern cables actively identify, so it's a confusing simplification.

[slim yacht]

fair

[grim belfry]

In that case, plug the cable that goes from your modem -> Nest into the cable in your wall to desktop

[rose quartz]

Ugh now I remember why I never like building computers 🤣🤣

[grim belfry]

Completely ruling out the nest, if that doesn't get gigabit, then it's the cable. Which is probably what it is

[worldly charm]

which channel would be good for identifying an older computer?

[slim yacht]

yeah at this point smells like its the cable

[manic torrent]

Here, tc1/2

[worldly charm]

ok great thank you

[covert cradle]

Lmao

[worldly charm]

crud, lol

[slim yacht]

i can hear those hard disk rattles man lol

[grim belfry]

lovely ducting

[worldly charm]

i wanted to add text before that sent

[manic torrent]

Lol it even says 775 on the fan. Aww yeah.

[worldly charm]

anyway, ive had this computer for a few years(clearly), and have alterd its insides. the case itself was a gift and has no identifing markings i can find

[covert cradle]

What exactly are you trying to identify? What prebuilt the case came from?

[fair sage]

cause back in the era this was built, these were bought by local computer manufacturers in bulk

it's literally "china case factory product XY"

[manic torrent]

Yeah it's early 2000s era

[worldly charm]

ive tried for years to identify the case specifically

[fair sage]

you can't. That era of cheap cases was literally "random factory makes the metal chasis and slaps random plastic on top of it" era

[worldly charm]

yea, i was afraid of that i just thought id try

[fair sage]

not like you could buy same case anyway

even big brand cases from more than 5+ years ago are often hard to find

unless they were really mass produced

[worldly charm]

oh yea no thats not what id do anyway, i just was never able to identify it so i thought maybe here

[fair sage]

i mean Lian Li from 9 years ago ? No chance

[fair sage]

nah, unlikely unless someone was buying those cases from your local supplier

[worldly charm]

right, thanks anyway

[fair sage]

like for example in my country, bunch of weirdo cases were sold under the "Acutake" brand

but even then, these plastic thingies from mid-2000's were often unbranded

or rather branded under the local computer builders name

[tulip bluff]

how do i already have 1k power hours this ssd is like a year old😭

also kinda impressive for a school laptop

[grim belfry]

8760 hours to a year

[runic sierra]

My ISP was absolutely bloody useless. "Oh no we can't test your Ethernet cable. We only run coax. "

[grim belfry]

🤷‍♂️ seems pretty good

[runic sierra]

So even if it IS the cable, I can't seem to get help from anyone

[grim belfry]

Did your ISP install the ethernet from your router -> desktop?

[strong kettle]

wtf is that backgroud

[tulip bluff]

its crystal disk info kurei kei edition

[runic sierra]

No, a previous ISP did. Their service sucked so we switched. Spectrum's suggestion was, "Ay yo you should find one of them sites, hire a handyman to like, come test your cables. Or crimp some new heads. Our guys just run coax. No guarantee they got the gear to test if the cable is good or not. And it's $65 to have them schedule an appointment and come out to see ya"

[grim belfry]

Yes, a local cable installer is who you'd have to deal with

Most ISPs won't touch anything they didn't do, and rightly so

[slim yacht]

to be honest id rather just buy 30m long cat 6 cable and like run it in some funky way lol

[grim belfry]

If they used conduit you could do it yourself pretty easily, but I doubt an ISP would've done it properly

[runic sierra]

I e worked hard to renovate and decorate this house. I can't have some cable just plopped along the floor all over the place.

[runic sierra]

No, they drilled holes and just pulled cables through.

[slim yacht]

yeah sounds like every isp ever

[grim belfry]

That'd be fun to pull 🙄

[grim belfry]

My 5 month old work laptop lol

[runic sierra]

They started on ground floor, and went both down to basement and upstairs. Real messy job.

[slim yacht]

ive seen contractors drill a small hole in my wall to run external fiber cable through. can tell you it was very janky

[grim belfry]

Alternatively, move one of the Nest satellites into the room with the desktop and plug in the desktop there

Use the wireless backhaul of the nest

[runic sierra]

It's the furthest nest. Already had to move it from next to computer, over to the stand near my doorway just to get a connection

[grim belfry]

You must have a big house lol

[grim belfry]

[slim yacht]

just nasty lmao

Hi all

[graceful burrow]

Hi
Nice embed

[runic sierra]

How difficult is it to run Ethernet cable up and down walls?

**inside of walls

[grim belfry]

Across a single level?

[old moth]

i'm new here

[runic sierra]

From ground floor, past next level into the attic. Across attic, and down to a room below the attic.

[grim belfry]

Makes it a bit harder, but if you want a "fun" DIY project and don't want to pay the $300 or so for a cabler, you could do it

[old moth]

drill the the floor with long drill bit. when pass the floor attach your ej45 to the drill to pass it

or you attach a same diameter plastic tube to it and that makes a pss throught

[runic estuary]

@runic sierra you looking at doing new Ethernet runs? 👀

[runic sierra]

Was considering it. Just looked in my attic, there's no access to the space above my room to run a cable.

[runic estuary]

Damn

Wi-Fi a no go?

[runic sierra]

No bueno for vr and competitive gaming

[runic estuary]

Yeahhh

Now you know why Linus insisted on having conduit everywhere 😂

[runic sierra]

House is from the 90s, I didn't build the place, lol.

I might be able to run the cable myself. But it seems everywhere near me sells either 100 ft or 300 ft or a thousand ft.

[runic estuary]

Spools of Ethernet?

[runic sierra]

100 ft would be too little. And I fear 300 ft would dampen the signal

[runic estuary]

You cut and terminate it yourself

[runic sierra]

I honestly don't know what else to do.

[runic estuary]

Moca?

Move? 😂😂

Powerline is a thing too, I don’t know how good it is.

[grim belfry]

Highly variable depending on environmental factors

[runic estuary]

Makes sense, electricity is noisy

Sabrent seems to be hosting malware apparently.

[vapid smelt]

Hey my steam deck and main PC has sabrent drives

[somber ferry]

is there a reason why windows laptops suck at ram usage and battery life

[graceful burrow]

Windows is not efficient

[somber ferry]

ok

[raven pelican]

Vendors do not know how to battery firmware

Memory usage is a problem that doesn't actually exist

[somber ferry]

ok

[raven pelican]

People just think it exists because they don't understand the mem allocation

[somber ferry]

oh becasue i have seen mac laptops with 8 gigs of ram with la bunch of things running

[wraith sonnet]

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-OPTANE-P1600X-118GB-SINGLEPACK/dp/B09MSB59SK Didn't intel kill optane before the new logo?

[raven pelican]

Yeah you can, same with windows laptops

[manic torrent]

Windows maintains a huuuuge backwards compatibility and a very wide software support, and as a result it is very heavy. MacOS otoh will kill its grandmother happily

[wraith sonnet]

when did you get a deck?

[vapid smelt]

Sept 2022

I do not

[wraith sonnet]

[slim yacht]

how to make sure new generation rules instead of the older methods 101

[neon mesa]

The RAM thing is more on windows cache though

[manic torrent]

yeah but that's about presentation and user education

[neon mesa]

also, windows can still be very good at battery life

[polar fern]

Batteries would be a lot better if we had unified battery management, but every single laptop is different

[neon mesa]

depending on some factors ofc

[manic torrent]

what do you mean unified battery management. Battery management is standardised

[slim yacht]

unless we can somehow pull 1-4w only on battery while doing some decent workloads, id say windows is still far from having good battery life

[neon mesa]

that's a silicon problem lmao

linux or mac (intel) wont magically allow you to run 100% performance on 4w

[manic torrent]

silicon/architectural

[polar fern]

Batteries are not standardized because laptop form factors are not standardized and neither are the internal components

[slim yacht]

yeh exactly . x86 mobile in general have a really hard time to be efficient except for the latest offerings with intel ultra and amd mobile starting from 4000 series

[polar fern]

I would estimate that current new laptops come in at least 70 to 80 different form factors

[slim yacht]

even then theyre still not that remarkable either

[manic torrent]

battery management, however, is. They may have different shapes, but they have standardised interfaces and use the same chemistry

[polar fern]

The connectors are not standard at all

Even in the same model of laptop, you can have 3 to 4 different connector types

[neon mesa]

has nothing to do with management though

phones also have differing connectors

basically every battery powered device ever that isn't using Double A batteries (and its kind)

yet phones still achieve good battery life

[polar fern]

The only laptops I have ever seen with standardized batteries and connectors are made by Apple.

[slim yacht]

theres only very few board vendors for oem's no? like 2-4 of them and all of them uses standardized board schematics design or similar. circuitry wise they are the same across the board except for battery capacity

[polar fern]

I am honestly not sure what you’re talking about

[graceful burrow]

Laptops are designed by individual companies most of the time kek
Which means they're vastly different in every respect

[polar fern]

Having repaired and worked on laptops for almost 2 decades I can tell you right now every single laptop I’ve ever opened up has something different. It’s actually kind of insane.

Things actually used to be slightly more standardized between different brands like Lenovo and Sony

Or I should say IBM and Sony

You opened the machine up and you knew what to expect

Nowadays, you can get five different Lenovo laptops of the same exact spec and model and you could have three different batteries, four different connectors made by five different contract vendors

When I put in an order for a replacement battery. I have to get a serial number and model number and a connector configuration all lined up or the battery actually won’t work in the laptop.

[neon mesa]

as bob said, battery management is standard. so mostly yes.
The biggest factor to battery life is the silicon chip themselves being power hogs

[manic torrent]

you say "battery management" but you're talking about physical form factor

[polar fern]

That is just part of it

The connector pinout can be different, which means that the boards that the batteries is connecting to are actually also different

[manic torrent]

from an OS perspective, it IS standardised, and that's what we were talking about

[polar fern]

Which means that they could have different components, which means that power management is going to have to be different because they are not the same hardware components

I am talking about the hardware side of things which is what batteries actually are

[manic torrent]

no, that's not power management at all, that's battery management

[neon mesa]

physical form factors mean nothing anyway

you can have one circuit type say, full bridge rectifier
made a million different ways layout wise but they're all essentially the same

[slim yacht]

^

[manic torrent]

batteries have complex charging and management requirements, but in terms of making the laptop more effecient, they cannot do a damn thing

[polar fern]

All of the power management should be done within the battery module and it should just be one standard part that the operating system doesn’t need to touch

But they’re not going to do that because that would force companies to have a more standard design of the physical form factor of the laptop

[neon mesa]

power is "managed" by regulating processor/GPU power which is handled by the OS....

[slim yacht]

well- not particularly. optimization is a big factor to how you consume power, efficiency some more

[manic torrent]

that makes no sense whatsoever

when you say power management, all you can do is signal how much power is available.

[polar fern]

All of this can be offloaded to a intelligent power management module located in a battery enclosure, which communicates with the logic board to deliver the power needed

[graceful burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/electroboom-full-bridge-rectifier-full-bridge-gif-24661594

[manic torrent]

you keep saying power management in a laptop context, but you're talking about power DELIVERY, not power CONSUMPTION

[slim yacht]

this doesnt really matter if your system needs to pull over 20w on battery anyways lmao.

[neon mesa]

Yea if it's that simple someone already does it

[polar fern]

If the battery is only allowed to do something, then, obviously the processor will only perform to a certain whatever

[manic torrent]

yes - but that's up to the OS/etc - all the power delivery can do is say "you have X amount of power"

[polar fern]

That’s not what I’m saying but I’m going to go watch a movie now

[manic torrent]

you don't seem to understand how power management works

[neon mesa]

Only the OS knows how much a processor really needs in term of power, giving processor power control to the battery module seems like a road to disaster.

So glad to have you back transit

[neon mesa]

Hey i wanna run cinebench
Battery module: what's cinebench? i'll give you 1 watt

[hearty plover]

New ipads look so bendable\

[graceful burrow]

You should buy one and test it

[hearty plover]

Ill watch jery

[gritty void]

Would someone be down to give me an opinion about a really big decision I have to make about high school, I need some advice. Over DMs or VC

[manic torrent]

In 10 years, you'll look back and laugh.

[graceful burrow]

I'd ask me parents

[neon mesa]

Why would you ask randoms
on an LTT server at that

[gritty void]

It’s about switching schools but it’s a boarding one and I don’t know if self-development or more time with my family is better

[manic torrent]

more time with your family.

[slim yacht]

go for more time with family man

[gritty void]

Yea that’s what I was thinking

because this school allows me to only see them on the weekends (drive home) but it offers a lot better classes and challenge. However, by like 3 years into college, that will not have even mattered

So I wouldn’t be able to see them during the week

[graceful burrow]

<@&750150305383186585>

[gritty void]

Scam?

[graceful burrow]

What you tellin me you believe that joke?

[gritty void]

Yes already clicked that link and got a virus 👍

[graceful burrow]

Maybe you should go to the boarding school instead

[gritty void]

💀

[neon mesa]

Random question
how fast do you think a 3090 can brute force a 10 char password

[graceful burrow]

Not fast.

[gritty void]

Not very fast there’s a lot of combinations

[neon mesa]

hashed with WPA2

[graceful burrow]

I've been trying to brute force a 12 char password for a bit now and never got past 7 characters before deeming it not worth

[slim yacht]

depending on the char, it can be very fast or will take forever

[graceful burrow]

Even if it's AAAAAAA it'll take forever

It has to go through every one of them

[neon mesa]

If the field has minimum char list, it can be reduced a little.

[slim yacht]

limited by current tech sniff sniif 😦

well theres quantum compu-

[neon mesa]

Though probably
Wordlist then Bruteforce (alphanumeric, excluding wordlist items)
can break majority of password

regular people rarely use symbols

[manic torrent]

If it's encrypted with single DES - LOL, if it's actually encrypted, yeah It will take ages

[graceful burrow]

The issue for mine is I made the password and I know for a fact it's not on a wordlist

All I know is it has to do with runescape

I have to brute force it

[neon mesa]

Good chance a wordlist will work on random people's password though

[graceful burrow]

Yeah for sure

[neon mesa]

if that doesn't work, do bruteforce going through all alphanumeric combination

people almost never use symbols

if that still fails it's no longer worth doing

[graceful burrow]

The only times I'd consider high character count passwords worth cracking is if

1. You really did actually truly need the password for something
   Or
2. You have a 4090 and know the password is sub-7 characters

@neon mesa do you have the hash

[neon mesa]

yes i got the WPA handshake

my router's password is definitely not on a wordlist so

i'm curious on how long it'll take to bruteforce

[long briar]

now here's the thing: if your router had a password already, it's probably an ISP provided one. What this also means is it likely follows some sort of naming scheme

[neon mesa]

i know my password already

[long briar]

Ahh

[neon mesa]

just messing around and stuff

[alpine gale]

WPA/2 isn't a hash function - it's a security / encryption protocol for WiFi authentication. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hash_functions

[neon mesa]

oh then i mean AES

[alpine gale]

An RTX 3090 can do hashes 87.083% faster than an RTX 2080, but that's just raw hash rate. Hopefully whatever is being bruteforced has some kind of rate limiter implemented.
https://www.hivesystems.com/blog/are-your-passwords-in-the-green-2022

[neon mesa]

3090 has roughly 3x the FP32 performance of that 2080

so 1/3rd the time
that's still a pretty damn long time

[thin fjord]

wrong chat

[manic torrent]

if you're hashing like that, you have the encrypted text - so there is no rate limit other than the time needed to try each plaintext

[alpine gale]

Fair - I was assuming a situation where you only have a login portal. But yeah, if you have the hash (and any necessary salts), you can go as fast as your hardware is capable.

[brittle knot]

hi guys

[grim belfry]

That’s why I keep my password on a sticky note on my monitor

[slim yacht]

well long enough before i need to change password lol

[frail night]

hi

[serene dew]

Why is 64k years still yellow? Because it's so low that with performance increases over time, this could turn into a few years at some point?

[fair sage]

which is why 2FA is a must. Nobody is going to set up a 18 character long password which they would have manually type (for example the MS account password is such an use case)

[fossil frost]

password manager... then you never even need to know what your own passwords are

[fair sage]

right. And how are you going to use a password manager in middle of the windows setup

cause you know, some people do use the microsoft account thing

[fossil frost]

i havnt typed in a password for windows set up in the last 2-3 years... i just put my email address in, and then get a notification on my phone saying that i need to authorise a sign in to my microsoft account

[fast karma]

does anyone has a good plex service to recommend ? with also like German things yk just DM me

[scarlet flame]

I think my power supply just exploded on me

[graceful burrow]

What do you mean by "plex service"?
A server to connect to to watch other people's movies?

Because that's technically illegal

[scarlet flame]

while alot of my other appliances were either smelling burnt or toasty and my breakers started tripping

[graceful burrow]

And we can't help you here at risk of getting the discord shut down

[scarlet flame]

So here's to hoping my pc ain't fucked

[graceful burrow]

I hate discord

[graceful burrow]

@fast karma

[fallow garnet]

hi

[ornate verge]

I'm confused
how do you send images in this channel
there's no image button for me

[graceful burrow]

Skill issue

[fair sage]

yeah, it is common. It also got some server hosts literally banned from being to be able to be used for Plex

[graceful burrow]

Unsurprising

[fair sage]

to be specific Hetzner was completely IP blocked by Plex

[manic torrent]

oh fuck yeah, I just setup moonlight/sunshine and I'm playing fallout 4 full details on my thin and light in 1440p!

[woven jetty]

I like how Linus / Luke are still in touch with how much things cost. We all know 100£/$ is not expensive to them, but they know it's expensive for the majority of viewers and manage to stay grounded

Many other YouTubers don't keep this same sense of value

[woven jetty]

Hugely surprised how well that game runs on my G14, 1600p Ultra everything, ~110fps

Hook it up to my 4K tv and it runs 4K Ultra at about ~70fps

Horribly buggy game though, especially just launching it

[manic torrent]

I assume you have mods to unlock it? because standard it is 60fps locked

[woven jetty]

Yeah

It doesn't crap out and break physics until around 130-140fps

Just some guys being dudes

Settlements annoy me especially when you come back and you see someone mooching around in your custom power armour

[manic torrent]

really? I've never seen that - I mean they do annoying stuff, but they also tend to my adhesive farm, so I have basically unlimited adhesive, so there's no limit to what I can build!

[ornate verge]

Sad
Can you show me how to get more skill then?

[fair sage]

which is why you remove the power cell 🙂

[woven jetty]

You sir, are smarter than me

[fair sage]

they won't use the armor if it has no power cell, but also they aren't using the power from the power cell

[lapis solstice]

2023 G14?

yessir

R7 6800HS & RX6800S

[scarlet flame]

My power surging went back to normal

but now my desktop is complety dead lol

Moniter is fine but I really hope my psu exploding cuz of these surges didn't kill off my Cpu GPU and mobo and ram

[grim belfry]

Invest in a ups

[strong kettle]

she followed me back on insta 🔥

[full fossil]

Nice!

What did you guys talk about?

[scarlet flame]

lol if my pc is fully gone i don't il be able to get a ups after fully investing in a brand new build if my parts are all dead and not just my psu

My damn power surge killed my access point router and my phone charging brick

so rip that

Yeah my other power brick is dead

Rip

[grim belfry]

No point buying new components and not a UPS, because the same thing's just going to happen again

[strong kettle]

she just followed me cuz i followed her

she sent my insider a screenshot of the follow request

and he was like "ACCEPT IT"

[full fossil]

So like sub4sub from back in the day if you're old enough

[strong kettle]

im taking baby steps

[full fossil]

Ok nvm

[strong kettle]

im planning to talk to her

[full fossil]

Cool

[strong kettle]

shes my friends girlfriends best fried

[full fossil]

How are you gonna start?

[strong kettle]

im gonna like follow my friend when hes gonna talk to his girlfriend

my crush and his girlfriend are likely to be together

so therefore i am going to join in on the conversation

[full fossil]

Ok

[strong kettle]

it might work

at this point i have 6 wingmen

[full fossil]

Ok

[full fossil]

aquire the booty

[manic torrent]

And/or have meaningful relationships

[hoary spruce]

I see apple just invented OLED

[royal ice]

hi

[indigo atlas]

hi

[scarlet flame]

With the power surge that happened and fried my pc at this point I couldn't care less if my mobo Cpu or GPU or ram or AIO is dead all I care about is my nvme ssd and my 8tb hard drive

If those died it's gonna be real sad times for me

[full fossil]

real, some data is irreplacable

[covert cradle]

We just have to pretend LG didn't create tandem OLED all the way back in 2019. Apple obviously invented it, duh

Or Samsung in 2022

[lapis solstice]

AMD gpu? That's 2022 iirc

I didn't know you could have a 6800s with r7 6800h

[woven jetty]

Sorry yes you're right it's 2022

do y’all fw NVIDIA fragrance for men

[indigo atlas]

What

[main stag]

Wonder if Linus gonna make a video about Sabrent having Malware downloads on their site? Seems people been getting infected when downloading Firmware update from USB hubs direct from Sabrent website.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyhlqvXzsCE

I seen those Sabrent Rocket 8TB ssds in many a LTT video. They also make good USB hubs

[indigo flume]

yeah , personally this makes me never want to buy sabrent now

[main stag]

I can happen to ANY brand. Though, in the video, he suggests they investigate the source/how the site was compromised. Could be by the factory or manufacture, that could also have acces to other brands sites.

[indigo flume]

nah, it's tainted/compromised in my mind now , no thanks 🙂

[main stag]

then never buy and Microsoft product, like Xbox. Cause, it has happend to them too

[shut sentinel]

is it just me or is the whole of discord is just dead

not just this server but the entire discord

[chrome vector]

AI has gone too far
