i paid 24 quid for this...whatyall think?

[desert dagger]

Its a watch

[minor rivet]

its a copy of the ap

[indigo flume]

when does ddr6 cpu ram come out

2026?

[desert dagger]

Yes

[fair sage]

or later

i still think people are in way too big hurry to move to DDR6

[calm swan]

thats 2022

still a solid laptop

[fair sage]

is there even a final spec of DDR6 yet ?

most likely it will be 2+ years asfter the spec is finalized. Which means 2027 or 2028

[austere shale]

Fun fact, the red and white wires im working on are live with 240v 3 phase 😄

[grim belfry]

Better hope your RCD is working

[fair sage]

nobody invented breakers there yet ?

[austere shale]

I have to go into a panel on the truck and unscrew a bunch of stuff to get to them

And I don’t feel like doing that

[fair sage]

so instead you are risking your life, makes sense

[austere shale]

Tbh one of the least sketchy things I do on a regular basis

In reality I’m in no danger, the controller knows it’s not plugged in because before it sends the big boy power it only sends a little to act as a sense wire to see if it’s plugged in

So that being said, no not technically live with 240 currently, but very easily it can, just gotta be careful what touches what

The 480v stuff is where I actually start being very careful

[harsh quartz]

Ahh, ze wonders of natural zelection

[austere shale]

I’ve already been dead once before, wasn’t too bad tbh

[coarse lily]

hi

[ionic abyss]

OK is a 40 inch qled for $149 a good buy

[sand light]

hi

[spice wing]

Guys, is it normal that differense between hotspot and chip are about 35 degrees?

[undone mountain]

Rate 1-10 on how well I took the photo

Btw no effects edit or anything just pure raw photo I took at a car show

[drifting yacht]

i wont rate but crazy

the fact theirs no edits, im impressed

[spice wing]

first one is insane

[drifting yacht]

but then again i aint a photographer, so i cannot really rate it in terms of that

[drifting yacht]

yeah its crazy fr

[strange elk]

[undone mountain]

Yoo thanks

[undone mountain]

Ye I loved that photo aswell funny enough I took it with a camera that's from 2013!!! The s120

[spice wing]

35 degeres difference

already undervolted, dont think i can make it any better

[rare otter]

6

The angels Great but that color grading needs work

Redit the color grading for you

[undone mountain]

Read it I didn't edit anything

[rare otter]

I didn't see that part but ye

[jolly bison]

Hi

[molten drift]

did you know the device you took the photo with , also tells time? and you likely have it on your person just as much as the watch if not more

[undone mountain]

Color grading ain't my specialty but I think it's a tad bit better now?

[mint yacht]

Too huge of a difference, need to repaste

[undone mountain]

Minor adjustments on the exposure contrast and brightness

As I've said I'm not a pro I'm just starting out hahaha

Yo mod what ye think of the pic on top

[spice wing]

Warranty will be voided, bruh

[mint yacht]

If you are in the US, it will not be voided

Those little warranty stickers over the screws cannot be enforced in the US at least

[spice wing]

Nope, Russia

[rare otter]

Needs more contrast

[thorn junco]

hi there

[grand trellis]

I love having photos that requires me to break my neck to see

[graceful burrow]

I was thinkin the exact same thing

[austere shale]

I feel bad for whoever owns that Toyota 86, things are time bombs straight from the factory

[rapid jackal]

why do I keep finding job postings that are scams.

[graceful burrow]

They know people are desperate for a good job and are capitalizing on people's hopes and needs
This is a very simple equation

[silver sun]

137

[hearty spear]

no, it's 1337

or, alternatively, 31337

[high mason]

HI

[rare otter]

That's a piracy site

[runic estuary]

Almost, missing a letter

[sharp trail]

hi

[fierce plume]

what should I gift myself with my first paycheck

[runic estuary]

A 401k

[fierce plume]

huh

[austere shale]

Based

[crystal torrent]

🍞

[hearty spear]

how old are you?

[austere shale]

I love when I order $20,000 worth of stuff and the manufacturer doesn’t tell me the one thing I really needed is backordered and has to be shipped from Germany

No call, no email. Just ships me a partial order

[hearty spear]

No really, if you're still a kid (late teens, early 20's)

If you put 20 bucks a paycheck into a savings account, and then move that into an investment account when it gets up to a couple grand?

By the time you retire that'd be worth more than you would ever imagine.

[austere shale]

I mean he could just start a 401k right away, skip the middle step and avoid the temptation of spending the money sitting in a savings account

[hearty spear]

most jobs kids get don't offer 401k's

and opening a private 401k with little money is hard

[austere shale]

Roth IRA 🤷‍♂️

[fierce plume]

17/18

[fierce plume]

i dont intend to save everything

[hearty spear]

holy shit. yeah, if you save a little money each paycheck, and then move it into an investment in a couple years? it'll be worth a TON when you get around to retiring.

[hearty spear]

I said 20 bucks a paycheck
not "everything"

(unless your paycheck is 20 bucks, then... just have fun with it)

[fierce plume]

i'll be saving 30%

and maybe even more

[hearty spear]

30% is more than enough to start

[sage quiver]

+1 for Roth IRA

[hearty spear]

What would be the best upgrade to your computer right now?

[austere shale]

Put 20% into a savings account, and 10% into an IRA, that way you can build up an emergency fund in your savings and still save for retirement

[hearty spear]

or 15/15%. But yeah, both types of savings are important

[fading cedar]

hey

[sage quiver]

A common approach is to build savings up to a certain goal and then focus on an IRA with an S&P500 fund or ETF. But I'm no financial advisor :P

[austere shale]

obligatory not financial advice

[runic sierra]

Will a Coaxial cable (CATVX) work with my modem for internet?

Or do I need a special type of coaxial cable?

[austere shale]

I mean, I think it would probably work, can only make a coax cable so fancy

[runic sierra]

Is it possible to just, unplug my router where it is, and replug it in elsewhere, attach a coax and keep 'er going?

[flat veldt]

don't this server have VC btw

out of wonder

[distant wren]

nah if they have it , they need to monitor it

its obligated by discord, so they actually do not prefer it.

[austere shale]

What? Per discord LTT has to monitor the VC?

[distant wren]

well yeah, any discord who has a voicechat has to monitor bad behaviour as per terms, it just saves allot of hazzle

[austere shale]

How tf are they suppose to do that, have the equivalent of a hall monitor in there?

[distant wren]

exactly they dont want to

You got admins who join VC in some other discords, and that is an option for helping, which also sometimes help with an extra channel for moderation-desk and a voice-chat showing who entered and left at which times by a bot. which are all options, to help moderate.

[scarlet flame]

And that's why Chinese pears are superior

[hearty spear]

voice chat on huge servers turns into a fucking nightmare cespool of shit.

Fuck no I don't want a voice chat in here

[flat veldt]

good point tbh

[scarlet flame]

It becomes a moderation nightmare

[crisp notch]

humor

[idle nymph]

Murphy's law, anything that can turn out badly will turn out badly or some shit like that

[runic sierra]

Spectrum internet is trying to tell me I have to pay $65 to move my modem to another room. All because they've deactivated all coaxial outlets. And they're claiming only one can be active at any given time. So I have to apparently make an appointment to have a technician perform a, "modem move". Is there anyway I can test them myself? Or reactivate?

[rare otter]

Why was my image deleted?

[austere shale]

If I wanted to make a wiper blade of sort, but 3D print it would TPU work?

[crisp notch]

this server isn't really fond of random memes/crap

in anything besides #off-topic

[rare otter]

Ight

I guess

[austere shale]

Manufacturer is charging $21 for a single 1.25” wiper blade meant to wipe stuff of a camera housing and that’s insane, so I want to try and 3D print it

[leaden gale]

Something tells me you absolutely could do this yourself

This has to be the scummiest business practice I've heard of from an ISP

[runic sierra]

This was how they left it

[ionic abyss]

My job sucks

Today we at krrogers are offering a 5% one time senior citizen discount today only that the customer must ask for if any em0loyee mentions it they get wrote up according to the flyer from corpeatw

[summer folio]

Make it weekly auto occurance instead.

[ionic abyss]

Fun having to basically say f u to our seniors no secret discount unless you know about something we can't tell you about without being wrote up

[rare otter]

Before and after colorgrading

[summer folio]

Why make it secret tho

My closest grocery store is full of elderly people every tuesday (They have 5% elderly discount on tuesdays)

[ionic abyss]

Why threaten employees with write ups if they. Mention it

[summer folio]

Auto-connected to their membership profile/SSN

[ionic abyss]

Nope bar code on the corporate flyer

[summer folio]

Just deduct the 5% of the employees salary instead.

[stoic beacon]

Roth IRA.

[fierce plume]

what does that mean?

sorry, i didnt get you

[stoic beacon]

It's a retirement savings account that you don't have to pay taxes on the growth of. If you have a paycheck that isn't going to something like rent or groceries or another need, you should throw at least half of it into a Roth IRA somewhere

[sage quiver]

Just make sure you don’t exceed the yearly limit

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, there is that

$20 a month into a Roth IRA starting at age 18 will probably be worth about $90,000 once you retire

[sage quiver]

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/rothira.asp

[stoic beacon]

$227 a month would be about a million when you retire, which is fun

[fierce plume]

sorry, im not from the US

[fierce plume]

what about the remaining money?

[summer folio]

What if you perish before you retire

[stoic beacon]

The likelihood of that is very low, so I wouldn't factor that into my life planning

Ah, nevermind, he moved into TC1 to find a toy to buy

[olive shuttle]

Does anyone know when the Random PC 2 stream will start?

[ionic abyss]

This is bad pr krogers is doing

Senior discount day if you tell the seniors we will write you up

[austere shale]

Would go to your s/o, child, or whoever you have as your beneficiary

[harsh quartz]

You can afford an extra 200$ a month?

[stoic beacon]

Yes, I don't spend money on entertainment.

And I was giving advice to the kid, who probably does not have any expenses.

[harsh quartz]

Damn, truly rich

[stoic beacon]

No, just simple living.

[harsh quartz]

Extremely well off

Hi

[lusty dirge]

when linus is done building the $2 how does one buy it? haha

[deft flax]

Yea same question, how are we participating???

[manic torrent]

I have to say, playing games on a 27" really does feel like... a game... vs playing on a 48"

[summer folio]

You're playing League of Legends on 48"?

[dawn cedar]

omg i lost out on the free shipping cuz honey said to input codes

and it did auto

so when i tried putting the code back in

(it did go through before honey auto inputted)

[manic torrent]

I'm playing fallout 4

[dawn cedar]

it said "max usage limit reached"

😭

[stiff crest]

rip

[graceful burrow]

Did you update it

[dawn cedar]

really wanted to get smth

since im normally too poor

[harsh quartz]

I like my 27”, I don’t think my tv is even 48”

[rustic holly]

.

[unique loom]

That made me laugh.

[sage terrace]

same here but to be fair the ones that know prob wont share if they want it as well if they get a chance to fight 2K ppl for it or 50 i would know my odds

[lusty dirge]

true it would be nice im running on 2007 pc parts hahaha

[sage terrace]

im having parts just a bit younger my pc is 15 years of age XD

so 2009

[lusty dirge]

hahah, I tried playing cyberpunk on mine didn't turn out too well ahhaha

[full fossil]

Hello chat 🙂

[next pollen]

The discount code was gone seconds after they said it damm

[full fossil]

On hyper speed fr

[sage terrace]

well sometimes when i play tabletop sim the gpu just goos balistic takeoff and i need too hard reset the pc and then it works again @lusty dirge 😄

[vapid crown]

I grabbed the 50% code on the screwdriver!

[sage terrace]

nice

[lusty dirge]

sounds like mine also haha i had to reset cmos so many times to

[vapid crown]

The checkout page gave me an error for a second but I still got it

[sage terrace]

conngrats enjoy

[idle nymph]

Ok so people who play helldiver, did you also feel like there is way more bugs than usual ? Like holy shit I kept seeing bile titan everywhere

[quasi belfry]

Thought you mean the software type bug for a sec lol

[austere shale]

The build quality of the cybertruck is absolutely laughable, clips on it are more fragile than my 16 year old Volkswagen, they just crumble

[hearty plover]

So all models of the new Ipad pro support Esim?

[chilly rover]

how do i get the discounts from the stream?

[rocky knot]

I'm sad. I was so close it applied it, errored out, and then said it was already used.

[chilly rover]

oh ok its a code. nvm

[vapid crown]

Looks like everyone gets an error cause I got one at first

[austere shale]

Rip,I’ve been wanting to snag a screwdriver to torture test in my work environment. Even my Snap-on stuff gets warrantied every other month or so

[rocky knot]

I may still just buy one at this point. I keep putting it off.

[sage terrace]

its already gone so too bad it was only 69 uses but it was gone within 30 sec or so

[rocky knot]

They're were very limited use codes.

[rocky knot]

Not even.

[round forge]

Where will Linus sell his $2 PC of the current stream? Or better saud: how does he decide to who he will sell it to?

[sage terrace]

hey is that a willd @round forge that appeartt

[prime crest]

Star war is racist

[rocky knot]

Hmm do I want Stubby, or Full.

[round forge]

Sup ya geezer?

[sage terrace]

❤️

[stoic beacon]

All Teslas have crappy build quality. They just look pretty.

[runic estuary]

I had a model 3, absolute garbage

[honest horizon]

Linus in the stream said he's stressed about free shipping today, but I don't get free shipping in the store

[rocky knot]

There was a limited use code for free shipping.

[honest horizon]

ah sad

Missed that ._.

[agile prawn]

yo, where is linus selling the $2 pc

[full fossil]

hi

[signal heart]

hey ahhh wussup guys

[analog dock]

Oh cool, my first time watching Linus live and he's already dropped something

[brazen abyss]

Hi

[mortal kraken]

Maybe why

[tender hedge]

😭 did the stream just gone off without telling how to buy the pc

[languid roost]

Go to their website, its a scavenger hunt!

Sad that i live outside US. If i buy the pc the taxes will make me go broke

[stable jolt]

The hardest one to find was on the snek page

[mystic token]

[stable jolt]

Go to a URL that does not exist

[vernal thunder]

there's no point tho is there?

[mystic token]

agh

Didnt know that was a thing

Yeah I assume it is the last one for most people

[bold crown]

Im at 9 after Snek

[shrewd scaffold]

bonus bin?

[obsidian vector]

[stable jolt]

You had to add a product to get the bonus bin one

[shrewd scaffold]

9/10 now

[old sinew]

Where is bonus bin

[obsidian vector]

checkout page

[old sinew]

ohhh

[trail lichen]

Im guessing someone downloaded the whole site and did a diff

[stable jolt]

I was considering that but I got too lazy

[forest star]

in 10 mins for sure

[shrewd scaffold]

9/10,no clue where the last one

[vernal thunder]

ah thats why their internet crashed

[mellow lynx]

I had 8 in like 2 minutes but didnt get to the snek page or the "all products" page. Womp womp

[old sinew]

contact us has one but it wouldnt load for me earlier

Wheres the snek page

[mystic token]

Do you guys have the one that was under one for the tabs under info at the bottom?

[little moat]

where were the others u found im missing 1 and its neither of those

[mellow lynx]

Most of them I knew from the GPU hunt 2 years ago

[shrewd scaffold]

huh

[mystic token]

I think it was Newsletter

[obsidian vector]

what

[mellow lynx]

https://www.lttstore.com/products/deskpad?_pos=8&_fid=604f894a7&_ss=c In the configurator

[old sinew]

The contact us page

[shrewd scaffold]

huh

[obsidian vector]

what configurator

[mystic token]

Where in the configurator? Cant find it and I haven't been there before

[shrewd scaffold]

dont see anything in there

[fickle inlet]

move it to the side

[obsidian vector]

how u move it

[bold crown]

Ah

[river echo]

in the literal configuration

[bold crown]

Ye that was the last one for me

[shrewd scaffold]

i moved the desk mat, there was nothing under it

[old sinew]

whats the snek one?

[mellow lynx]

Tbh that was the first one I got I had the page loaded and I knew it would be there

[fickle inlet]

whats the chances the person's card declines lol

[void copper]

how do you do the configurator one im confused

[fierce tinsel]

snek one is go to a 404 url

[obsidian vector]

move what

[little moat]

gg that was fun

[low quarry]

Ihad to refresh to get it to put it in the configurator

[fierce tinsel]

Drag the mousepad somewhere

[obsidian vector]

i moved the mouisepad

[old sinew]

how

[river echo]

click the configurator and move the mouse pad aside

[obsidian vector]

nothing

[mystic token]

same

[void copper]

thats what I did and nothing

[stable jolt]

The configurator broke for me so I had to go to that page five times for it to work

[fierce tinsel]

some something to the end of a url, like lttstore.com/wtf

[little moat]

mine didnt show up but i refreshed a few times then it finally showed up under mousepad

[void copper]

oh my god it only works sometimes

[visual oriole]

aw u don’t get anything if u complete it

[shrewd scaffold]

keepp refreshing

[mystic token]

Thanks

[void copper]

where was the last one

I got all the 404 page and the contact pages and stuff

[old sinew]

Ahh well done i got them all

[river echo]

It's crazy how someone found all 10. Def used a page inspection and found the source

[stable jolt]

Only reason I did not find the 10 fast enough was the configurator breaking

[river echo]

In 10 mins too that's crazy

[mystic token]

alright, thats all 10.... not bad but late. Didnt know about the snek one and didnt think the configurator would have one :/

[stable jolt]

I found all 10 without doing that, it was not that hard

[fickle inlet]

only ones i didn't get was the 404 and the configurator

[old sinew]

I was thinking this, I was wondering if theres a way to see what pages are recently updated

gg's guys and gratz to whoever got the pc

[void copper]

where were they all cause I still dont have one

[fierce tinsel]

In retrospect, it wasn't hard.. 404 and config are all I missed.. 404 shoulda known, thats not uncommon to put stuff there.. config I totally forgot about.. I was checking clothing sizing page and such though

[river echo]

there's one right at the homepage under the main store-front icon

It's just the LTT logo in RGB

[void copper]

I think I got that one

[old sinew]

Yes me too, i spent ages scrolling up and down specific products

[void copper]

same

[molten pine]

yeah im missing one more

[fickle inlet]

dude, I was clicking on words in the privacy policy thinking maybe one word was a hidden link or something

[calm swan]

are you finding the pc?

[fickle inlet]

was looking evceryyyywhere

[old sinew]

Yeah lol i was thinking there might be a secret pixel

[balmy zephyr]

the confingurator is borked for me

[stable jolt]

I went to the configurator 4 times and it was broken for me. It was my last but by the time I got it it was just too late

[stable jolt]

Yeah I am not sure what borked it

[balmy zephyr]

the div is there it just not triggering

[old sinew]

Well now we all just need to start begging linus for a pc in the dm's like that one guy

Maybe if we all do it he'll send us all individual parts and we have to come together to build it

[stable jolt]

Yeah it must have been some bug and we just got unlucky

[old sinew]

But then we have to fight to see who keeps it

[stable jolt]

Or it was tested on a specific browser

[balmy zephyr]

firefox pain

[void copper]

or maybe it was intentionally random hmm

[stable jolt]

I doubt it, more likely a cache issue with the amount of load on the server or our PCs

[void copper]

possibly

[fierce tinsel]

config one loaded first time for me, but also first time I have been on that page in months

[void copper]

I still haven't got one :(

[fierce tinsel]

So maybe nothing cached.. or just dumb luck

I am always happy to walk away with Luck when Skill doesn't cut it

[void copper]

are any on product pages

[stable jolt]

Not that I recall

[void copper]

I can't find the tenth one

where are they all

[fierce tinsel]

Unless you could the config as a product page

did you get the bonus bin item one?

[void copper]

yeah

[balmy zephyr]

i just tested it on edge and it showed up

[fierce tinsel]

Edge is just Chrome with extra MS

[sturdy dune]

1 or 2

[stable jolt]

Two because you don't have a can on your speaker even though I don't like the backwall

[fierce tinsel]

I donno what would drive me nuts more.. speakers above the screens, or that not one of them is vertical..

[sturdy dune]

low key ive been thinking of having one of them vertical

would actually be hella useful

[sturdy dune]

silly reason to choose one over the other

[fierce tinsel]

I always have at least one vertical, normally everything other than my main is vertical.. great for webpages, chats, etc..

[half solar]

who won the $2 pc?

[stable jolt]

Ask a subjective question you get subjective responses

[half solar]

im just here to commend them lmao

[sturdy dune]

ltt discord is huge, id be suprised if you could find them tbh

[half solar]

i'd be a bit more surprised that they didn't chat here

[gaunt pendant]

Someone posted on Reddit that they got it

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1cnkiuy/i_bought_the_random_pc/

Whether it's true or not, unsure

[sturdy dune]

the discord and the channel are much more seperate than you would think tbh

[half solar]

welp, no use crying over spilled milk

so i can get the gen 1 gpu for cheap

[rocky knot]

I keep almost getting it and then having a financial emergency like 3 days before I have to pay the full payment, lol.

[calm swan]

g14/g16? yoga pro 9i? zenbook 14 oled?

all similarly priced or cheaper and arent "plastic shit"

none of them also have the garbage 7700s as an option

[harsh quartz]

Legions?

Frameworks are expensive for their specs and only really make sense if you have the extra cheddar

[rocky knot]

Its really not that much worse than laptops of similar spec. Especially when you consider the long term price of being able to replace any part you need making it so you won't have to replace it.

[harsh quartz]

Yes it is cheaper to replace part in the long run, but they’re not exactly cheap to replace those parts

To get a framework that’s even similar to the legion I bought over a year ago for 1400$, would cost over 2k

[harsh quartz]

This is also for the build your own, not for the pre-assembled one

[rocky knot]

Oof. Rough.

[harsh quartz]

You ignored the TOS. You have consequences. But in all reality, not everyone above 18 has an ID either, just let them know you don’t have one

Yeah, you’ve already explained that. What it sounds like, is that you need to contact them, and say you don’t have ID, or ask for clarification, we are not Amazon employees

Fuck around~Find around

[candid hinge]

your own fault tbh

you agreed to the terms

and then broke them

[harsh quartz]

You ignored TOS, you have to deal with that now.

They may be shitty ToS from your point of view but they ARE the ToS

[candid hinge]

always worth skimming through tos to find things like this out

so you arent in the position you are now in

[harsh quartz]

Also just don’t use amazon :p

[candid hinge]

i only use em because not a lot of other places will deliver

or the other companies try to charge loads because of where i live

[harsh quartz]

That’s fair, I use them but rarely. Only for stuff I have a hard time finding on other trustworthy sites

[candid hinge]

ye

[harsh quartz]

And the prime with ads thing makes me really not want to use them anymore

[candid hinge]

i avoid amazon if possible

prime with ads is so stupid

its part of the reason streaming services became so popular

because they didnt have ads

[harsh quartz]

“Hey you paid for prime yearly with the promise of 2 day shipping and ad free prime video, well guess what, you get neither of those now, and you can’t refund your yearly subscription”

Get your merch message answered

[trim wharf]

hi everyone im new here

[faint oracle]

HELLLOOO

guys i have a question for professionals

so i got a new phone this year and now i'm afraid that i'll ruin the battery becayse many times i tend to want to leave it charging to a 100%

i never actually let it discharge to 0%

but i wanna know if it's dangerous for my phone to leave it that

ok

hahah not funny

now can anyone ACTUALLY tell me if it's detrimental to my battery ?

[hearty spear]

The phone should have a charge option to stop charging at around 80-85%

And also, don't discharge to 0%, recharge at 15-20%

[faint oracle]

you say that one more time ill block you boi

[hearty spear]

you say that like it's a threat?

[faint oracle]

im sorry lol

it's just that bruh im actually serious and bro just wants to make fun of me like cmon i just wanna know stuff so i don't ruin my phone

[stoic beacon]

Given that most modern phones have functionality built in that protects the battery, you're generally fine.

Samsungs specifically have an option to stop charging at 85, and Pixels can charge at different speeds depending on when your bedtime mode ends.

[spice pine]

your phone was designed for the millions of idiots out there who don’t care about battery health

[hearty spear]

you can also very easily just ignore it
And notice that I DID answer it

Also: Don't use rapid chargers, they wear down batteries faster than slow ass chargers

[stoic beacon]

The main thing that will protect your phone battery long term is using it less lol. That's the unfortunate truth.

[faint oracle]

mine is xiaomi redmi note 12 pro (4g)

nah it's always dry

[hearty spear]

Have you considered shutting the fuck up?
Trolling and shitposting are against server rules

[spice pine]

hey, you may want to read the rules, spamming and shitposting are both not allowed here

[stoic beacon]

https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/mobile-myth-does-fast-charging-ruin-your-phone-battery

[faint oracle]

jeez ok stop being mean 😩

[hearty spear]

..... then you're just special

[spice pine]

that wasn’t being mean, that was the truth? your phone is going to be just fine, and anything you do to prolong the battery’s health is likely going to have a negligible effect in the long term. Will it make a difference? Yes. Will you notice the difference? Probably not.

[hearty spear]

the average phone and computer user is a fucking idiot.
And they're designed around that level of competency

[faint oracle]

huh ok

so it's ok if i charge it from 70% to a 100% just because i want to look nice ?

[spice pine]

It’ll be fine

[faint oracle]

you see man , im not the average user ...

[hearty spear]

how does phone charge change the "look" of anything?

[spice pine]

It’s probably best to just recharge it when it tells you to use it.

[faint oracle]

i try to take care of my stuff

i mean i was

up untill i smashed my phone into the ground when it super mario jumped out of my pocket

[stoic beacon]

Sounds like you need a grippier case.

[faint oracle]

then when i got this one new better one

i just , im paranoid not to ruin it's battery life like the last one

[spice pine]

The point was - your phone was designed to handle the misuse of an idiot. If you’re not misusing it, it’s going to be totally fine. If you are misusing it? As long as you’re not doing anything actively dangerous, like trying to remove a non-removable battery, you’ll be fine.

[faint oracle]

i mean the last one was like 4000 mAh

that was a 2018 model

[spice pine]

<@&750150305383186585> repeated spamming and shitposting of this phrase

[keen cedar]

Last phase of mmu3 parts are printed 😍

[stoic beacon]

The mAh rating of a battery doesn't really mean anything. There are too many factors that come into play when it comes to battery use and long term health. Apple leads the pack on this, followed by Samsung, and then Asus. It depends on the processor in the phone, etc.

[faint oracle]

this current one is a 2023 and the batter has like i dunno

a 4500 mAh ?

[hearty spear]

you can have a 30,000 mah battery
But if it's a super high-draw device, it'd still have shitall for battery life

[stoic beacon]

I repeat: mAh means nothing.

[faint oracle]

yeah it holds so much longer than the last one

especially with videogames

[stoic beacon]

The Pixel 8 has 4,600 mAh and the Galaxy S23 has 3,900 mAh, and the Samsung has WAY better battery life than the Pixel, simply because of the processor and software.

[hearty spear]

after 5 years of using the phone, a batter will wear down, that's a thing

[faint oracle]

yeah but after 5 years

i'll surely get a new one lmaoo

[hearty spear]

you just said you were using the 2018 phone

[faint oracle]

this new one was a christmas present

i mean i tried it

i don't usually play lots of games

just a game once in 2 or 3 weeks

maybe some pubg for a few matches then ill delete it

[hearty spear]

that's 100% bullshit

[stoic beacon]

Definitely false, and definitely stupid, given that you can easily replace a battery in an S5.

[hearty spear]

If you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you

[stoic beacon]

Either your friend is a liar, or you're a liar. I'd wager you're both liars, or maybe even that you don't have a friend...

[hearty spear]

and if it's on airplane mode all the time, is it actually a phone?

[stoic beacon]

You don't understand, I've had the same pencil since I was 6, I just never wrote with it

Longest lasting pencil

[hearty spear]

well, the S5 did support 4G, so it does still work.

but your friend is utterly bullshitting you about its battery lifespan

and old geezers don't lie?

[stoic beacon]

There's a higher chance that he just can't remember he plugged it in than that the battery lasted 5 days.

[hearty spear]

keep digging, you'll find oil eventually

[karmic flame]

someone mention me ?

[hearty spear]

I'm part of the server old man crew myself, lol

they made a REALLY quality form, huh?

[long briar]

Still an S5 🙄

[hearty spear]

on the original battery

[long briar]

oh balls nah there's no shot

[harsh quartz]

Why in the hell is there a character limit on this :p

[hearty spear]

The S5 was literally released over 10 years ago. ain't no way

[tropic gulch]

people say ryzen benefits from higher ram speeds but why do most with 7950x3d go for 6000mhz while some people with a 14900k up to 7200mhz

[long briar]

he's not getting one day out of it : source, I had a friend who was using an S5 until last year

[tropic gulch]

does it just not support it or

[hearty spear]

Ryzen 7000 does NOT like RAM over 6000 or 6400 (if you get lucky)

[long briar]

Also original battery

[long briar]

no CPU likes ram faster than 6400, though.

[harsh quartz]

Ryzen doesn’t like ram

[hearty spear]

intel can use 7000+ DDR5

[austere shale]

Trying to deal with Amazon customer support makes me wanna super glue a plunger to bezos’s shiny head

[hearty spear]

and for some weird reason, AMD 8000 APUs have gotten RAM past 9000 and 10,000 MT/s

[stoic beacon]

It made me discontinue Prime and pick up a Costco membership instead. Was well worth it, and cheaper 👍

[tropic gulch]

so no benefit from higher ram speeds?

[hearty spear]

it won't boot at higher speeds most likely

[harsh quartz]

What in the world is the purpose

[austere shale]

I returned an item and then bastards put the amount on my account balance, not back on my card like I know I told it to

[long briar]

IMC not being stuck on a separate IO Die probably it

[hearty spear]

for the XOC RAM Crew, bragging rights.
@mint yacht and @serene mantle know about that stuff.

[long briar]

All AMD APUs (not the 2CU iGPUs in Ryzen 7000) are monolithic

[stoic beacon]

That's nothing. I returned an item that I had paid for using Amazon CC reward points. I had about $1,400 in rewards left over, and instead of increasing it back to $1,500, they all just vanished.

[harsh quartz]

Fair. Just seeming ram speeds at 10000 is ridiculous

[hearty spear]

to be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if DDR5 hits that in retail in a year or two

[stoic beacon]

Haven't had my Costco reward points disappear on me yet, personally, so happy about that.

[harsh quartz]

I’m still on ddr4

[long briar]

Just tell them through customer service they'll fix it

[long briar]

same thing for you

They're actually really powerful

[austere shale]

Go steal catalytic converters off Amazon trucks

[hearty spear]

that's legit credit card fraud

[stoic beacon]

No, I should have just binned the item and not returned it. Customer service call was when all the credit was removed from my account. Never ever dealing with them again.

[long briar]

Oh wait I just realized it's Amazon CC

nvm that's messed up

[stoic beacon]

Yeah, I pursued it through SEC pathways for about 2 years before I gave up.

[grim belfry]

That'll just get you flagged by OFM

Then you're fucked

[tropic gulch]

on their website it says its safe up to 5200 tho

[austere shale]

Honestly, getting to a real person was the equivalent of CBT but once I got to a real person they fixed the issue in like 3 minutes

[keen cedar]

I love cement ballast tanks

[grim belfry]

I assume you're talking about Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

[long briar]

Your motherboard?

[tropic gulch]

aint pick one yet still thinking between mini itx and full size

[hearty spear]

that's normal. JEDEC can be 5200. Ryzen 7000 likes: DDR5 6000 CL30-32

[long briar]

^

if your motherboard QVL is up to 5200 then I'd say avoid that board

the CPU will be fine running faster

[tropic gulch]

yeah but i see am5 motherboards saying that they supoort up to 7200mhs for example

thats the whole reason im asking

but I guess 6000mhz cl30 is the sweet spot maybe even lower cl but not necessary

[mint yacht]

They can, but the CPU wont like it unless you know what you're doing

[tropic gulch]

I ain't really that knowlaged about ram configuration so 6000 it is

Thanks ya all learned some new things

[haughty ice]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xbDzcH

[magic storm]

e

[hearty spear]

Ryzen 8000 APUs will run 7200 (and faster) memory.

But don't get 8000's.

[tropic gulch]

Are these like for integrated graphics and laptops

[hearty spear]

APUs have better onboard graphics than other chips, but they're not on par with discrete GPUs

There are uses for them, but the home build market isn't really one of them

[tropic gulch]

Yeah

What about cl I know lower is better usually but below 30 is that stable

Yeah, I've been really happy with mine, I have one gripe, that is the only way to enter "desktop mode" is to attach the keyboard, but you only have to do that if you power it off Which I rarely do

[harsh pike]

I've been also looking at the OnePlus tablet, which is very compelling, but they don't got a deal like Google

[full fossil]

I haven't looked at theirs personally

[long briar]

Wait for the Oneplus Pad 2 if youo're gonna get that

[full fossil]

My tablet fell out the window and with the case that comes with it survived, so I'm happy with it and it no longer if allowed near windows (damn cats)

[harsh pike]

Going to be purchasing a zephyrus g14 for college, so high powered tablets have no use for me

[long briar]

Why was it beside an open window...

[long briar]

What are you going into?

[harsh pike]

Finance or economics

[full fossil]

Because it was just the easiest place to put it down

[long briar]

Overkill as hell but I'd also recommend a touchscreen for economics

First year is dead easy

[austere shale]

My favorite pass time lately has been going on Facebook marketplace and reading the descriptions of engagement rings people posted

[long briar]

you're just looking at colourful graphs

[long briar]

valid

[long briar]

Like literally nothing happens in economics

If you go to say, Engineering

[harsh pike]

I need to game lol

[long briar]

you'd want a larger laptop

or a 2nd display for your laptop

[halcyon dagger]

I'm just here to say the admins over on PCMR's Facebook page are absolutely comical. Simply mentioning a rule got me suspended, no complaints, no questioning just mentioning one that I previously broke unknowingly. Apparently it's "Beyond my understanding". Hahaha. Yet they letting 1000 post about the sony/helldiver bs clog up their feed. Comical.

[long briar]

first year is all calculus so not much to do with laptop

but past the first year it becomes really messy and you'd wish you had more screen than 14"

[harsh pike]

I want a balance between portability and power for my Forza and f1 addiction

[long briar]

[long briar]

Zephyrus G16

I do know it's too expensive for most people though

[harsh pike]

I'll see depending on the price

I've seen the g16 cheaper than the g14 at times

[full fossil]

I have an external portable display because I just can't go from my usual 4 screens to one when I'm afh

[long briar]

Old G16 was just the m16 but with lower end hardware than the G14

I have one

[harsh pike]

2023?

[long briar]

12700h, 4050, 32gb ram and qhd display

yeae

[harsh pike]

Yeah I want a 4060

[long briar]

old G16 did come with a 4060 so

[harsh pike]

Yeah

[long briar]

if you're going 2023 model then sure

[harsh pike]

I heard the 2024 thermals were crap

[long briar]

the ONE advice I'd give with 2023 model is please repaste

Get rid of the Liquid metal on the CPU

I run PTM on basically all my devices

and esp on my laptop it makes a worlds difference

The other thing for all Zephyrus owners actually: Get G-Helper and uninstall Armoury crate

[harsh pike]

What's PTM and G Helper

[harsh quartz]

All the ROG thermals are terrible

They overclock it terribly from the factory and the laptop can’t support it.

[halcyon dagger]

The message they sent me was a clear power trip. Made me actually lol. Calm down ya Facebook security guard. Irrelevant because a rule is a rule but that YouTube short was hilarious and 100% on point, a monkey would have seen it wasn't self promo. but clearly they don't truly appreciate the memes over there and are more idiotic than Sony's account requirements.

Just had to share, even though I know no one cares, haha. Thanks for coming to me Ted Talk.

[long briar]

You took 10 minutes to type this?

you really don't have anything better to do?

[halcyon dagger]

Playing chess too, it was my move and I forgot to hit enter.. it was hanging there for a while

Dont you? You're here too

[long briar]

PTM7950 is a phase change thermal pad, basically works like thermal paste but stays solid when cool - lasts much longer than standard thermal paste and with better thermal transfer. Only downside is it's kinda expensive compared to thermal paste.

G-Helper is basically every setting in Armoury crate condensed into a single app like this. Far less resource taking, faster, and I've gotten more performance out of it actually

[long briar]

Workshop doesn't open till 12 so I'm just killing some time

[halcyon dagger]

My baby is finally asleep so I'm vegetating for a bit, so no I don't have anything better to do really

[long briar]

Real

And she's up again. This stay at home Dad thing is the hardest job of my life. I worked pipelines in the artic.

[full fossil]

hey i wondered

how much kilometers would a tesla last at 300kmh

[crystal summit]

im gonna press it >:)

[hearty spear]

depends on a lot of things including "what tesla"

[full fossil]

model s plaid

[full fossil]

because plaid can hit the 300kmh afaik

[hearty spear]

it can, with an additional 20K USD in package to unlock it, and upgrade parts

and I'd bet at that speed, it gets a total of 25-35% of it's max distance on the battery (or the motor overheats before it goes that far)

[full fossil]

i saw a video where it hits 320 and it overheats the battery

but the guy was giving it a lot of ham sandwaches

[hearty spear]

to go 200 mph, you're fighting a ton of wind resistence

so your mileage is gonna be absolutely shit

[full fossil]

like every other car basicliy

so for fast driving a tesla like 180-200kph is the max for decent range

[hearty spear]

.... what?

in what world is that a sane driving speed? that's still track speeds

and it's gonna be shit mileage still

[full fossil]

nah just asking

some people just like pushing the car to the absolute limit

like a friend's dad
he drives a audi a6 tdi with 250

speed limit here is 130

[calm swan]

is ptm better?

[south stone]

Are aliexpress rams legit? A friend is asking because there's 16gb 5200 kingston for 54 bucks

[full fossil]

eh

[lament crystal]

I'm on the train and someone has a steam deck

[strange elk]

Its a thing people have

Held my first one on an airplane lmao

[harsh quartz]

Why buy from aliexpress when it’s the same price on Amazon or Newegg?

[south stone]

Lower shipping to argentina than newegg or amazon, sadly.

Tl'dr: Guy wants to buy a pair (2x16 5200 cl40), he'll spend roughtly "$150k" local currency.

And I want to sell him a gskill flare x5 kit (5600 cl16) for the same price. I'm on the same town as he is.

But I still wanna give him an honest answer about aliexpress rams, if they area legit I'll tell him that, maybe he is inclined to order from aliexpress anyways.

[silver sun]

[south stone]

Why? Don't really want to deal with all the school things going on there.

[mint abyss]

Two days ago Dell emailed me about data breach and now I'm getting phone calls from china

That's sick I'll do anything for an honor magic 6! Anything!

Got bored and slightly curious

I think Im gonna move to searx lol

[indigo flume]

[strange elk]

Well I definitely dont have Harveys voice in mind

[woven knot]

Will it be cheaper to buy a pc in 2 years

[hearty spear]

Depending on what you buy

[woven knot]

True

Like a gaming pc

[hearty spear]

Getting a pc with the same performance you can get now would be cheaper

But a 2000$ pc in 2 years will likely be a fair bit beefier than a 2k pc today

Wonder how many Europeans there are (here that is, not pop)

[hearty spear]

Google

Thousands

[full fossil]

Anyway E u r o p a p a

[full fossil]

European has been summoned

British some may disagree but still from Eroupe :3

[strange elk]

Used pcpartpicker and the other calculator site for wattage. Not much difference for my pc.

5800x and RX 6700 with other components ~420w

Definitely overcompensated with a 850w psu. And I was worried the fan never spun

[sudden cairn]

mine used to draw sub 200 while i had a 750w psu

[strange elk]

Oh I was there too

With my 2400g gtx 1660

No spoilers.

i can trade in my almost 6 year old ipad 6th gen and get this for free lol

[left summit]

I think I just made the most expensive ChromeOS machine ever

[clear pendant]

Well it would be without the dock but yeah

[calm swan]

still kinda crazy ngl

[clear pendant]

Yeah it is. I'm gonna try and see if any of my old iPads are compatible

[harsh quartz]

I love when windows just corrupts itself to where the settings app is broken

[full fossil]

Magic of not using windows

[harsh quartz]

Still better than Mac

[stoic beacon]

I hate Apple with a burning passion, and even I disagree with this. Software compatibility is way better on Windows, but MacOS is definitely a better OS...

[harsh quartz]

From a help desk POV, nope

[runic estuary]

Because you’d have no job?

[full fossil]

Mac only good for corporate

It’s useless otherwise

[harsh quartz]

Because Mac is hell to try and support

[runic estuary]

Where do you people come up with these opinions lmao

[full fossil]

With our brains

🥰

[harsh quartz]

From experience

[runic estuary]

I use Mac OS, windows, and Linux pretty much every day. They all have strengths and weaknesses.

[full fossil]

I am gonna use windows but have a Linux pc to vnc into

Will be using both alot

Need windows for compatibility

[runic estuary]

My point is hugely broad statements like saying an OS is useless don’t make any sense.

[stoic beacon]

Windows = Maximum compatibility.
Mac = Maximum user experience.
Linux = Maximum freedom.

[runic estuary]

Yesssirrr

[full fossil]

Correct

[harsh quartz]

I would argue that macOS isn’t a good user experience

At least, not for this user

[stoic beacon]

We call that user error

[runic estuary]

I would argue macOS is a good user experience. At least for this user

[harsh quartz]

I call it liking to play literally any games

[stoic beacon]

User experience doesn't mean the "art of making everything perfect for everybody."
