Are Arc cards any good?

[graceful burrow]

if you have to ask probably not for you

[tepid jasper]

for transcoding

[graceful burrow]

they're quirky

[tepid jasper]

but what aldonist said

[graceful burrow]

asking for something illegal in a public discord server is wild

you gotta be out of your mind if you think we're fulfilling that lmao

[zealous sinew]

right haha i was joking lol

[tepid jasper]

how do I jaywalk

[graceful burrow]

no you werent, we all know you werent kek

[zealous sinew]

dude do you not get sarcasm

[graceful burrow]

i do when it's present

damn discord wrong replied me

[strange elk]

How do I litter

[harsh quartz]

Drunk Gus!

[kindred tangle]

anyone experiencing problems with street view in google maps? I let go of that yellow dude to view street, but he won't let go 😄

[strange elk]

street may not be mapped by a vehicle

[kindred tangle]

it is, but it takes 2-3 times to land there. Plus it feels laggy as i choose where to land

as if cursor was lagging behind

[harsh quartz]

Sounds like Google issues

[strange elk]

Its fine on my end

[kindred tangle]

it's ok for me now as well, weird but whatever

[short quartz]

TLauncher, but it is spyware so good luck. i saw a video on yt showing how to remove it tho in an exposing video

[harsh quartz]

Not allowed to talk about this kind of stuff

[half summit]

It's just 27 dollars

[zealous sinew]

im broke

[half summit]

Get a job

[zealous sinew]

i mean i could try and get it the legal way

but my heart is telling me to not do the right thing

[half summit]

Well that's on you, you're an idiot

[zealous sinew]

subjective

[full steppe]

no, definitely an idiot....

[half summit]

It's not really subjective or anything, you are an idiot who doesn't want to go to the labor force to get a quick buck and buy Minecraft Java.

[zealous sinew]

i'd work hard a whole day if it meant doing nothing

[full steppe]

its literally $15USD....deluxe is $20USD.....

[zealous sinew]

i'll buy it when it's $0USD

[tepid dagger]

guys what are your thoughts about apple intelligence?

[full steppe]

oxymoron

[zealous sinew]

the name is ironic

[harsh quartz]

Either way, it’s against rules and TOS to talk about pirated software and where to get it

[tepid dagger]

lol

[harsh quartz]

Honestly they seem to be going about it in a well thought out manner, kinda like they’re trying to show up Microsoft over the whole copilot and recall thing

[zealous sinew]

we won't continue with this convo then

[old rampart]

Hi guys please help me review my pc parts, I have posted in #1106613567966429224 . I'm new here. Thanks in advance.

[pallid falcon]

hmm,

microsoft rewards and buy it from the microsoft store

or buy a month of gamepass from microsoft rewards

get it gifted to you...

i think they have a free trial

[harsh quartz]

It’s literally 20$ right now

[pallid falcon]

games cheap

what

[random jolt]

assuming ur in the us, even a minimum wage job will get u $20 in 3hrs

[zealous sinew]

why are we still talking about this

[crisp isle]

Hi guys, any of you has an image with all the pictures someone with power issues in their pc should send to be easy to troubleshoot. I used this image when tech-support was chat.

[pallid falcon]

you get image perms here by connecting a ltt forum account iirc

[harsh quartz]

Feel like I had a stroke trying to read this

[zealous sinew]

whats it like to have a power issue

what kind of power we talking about

where do the pictures come in this

what

[crisp isle]

I am tring to help some one, so essently you would have example of what photos this person should send for me to help them. So it would have a picture of the 12 pin pluged in the motherboard, a picture o the ram connected to motherboard, other picture of the GPU connected to mother, a picture with the front IO connectors and so on

[tepid dagger]

if it's on device then it's ok but otherwise it's creepy

[strange elk]

Regulars now

[harsh quartz]

As per Apple, some will be done on device, some will be sent to apples internal servers anonymously. And if the apple servers can’t handle it, it will ask you if you want to send it to open AI servers, also anonymously. Which is better than anyone else seems to be doing

[harsh quartz]

You get regular by by connecting a forums account

[tepid dagger]

but how did they trained their own ai?

[strange elk]

Oh I had no clue lmao

[tepid dagger]

that's a big question for me

[strange elk]

Some reason I was thinking floatplane. Thought the role was activity based

[harsh quartz]

It’s probably not. It’s likely just openAIs integrated into Siri, but shut off from the openAI servers, unless you specifically allow it to reach out

[half summit]

I'm going to have 7 needles jabbed on my mouth

[tepid dagger]

if it was like that it should be able to handle complex questions aswell

[harsh quartz]

Used to be. Was changed last November or something like that

[tepid dagger]

I think they just used iphone users data to train it

[strange elk]

Aah.

[harsh quartz]

Regular also didn’t have image perms before that

[harsh quartz]

Well you can speculate till the cows come home or you can go read the announcement

[strange elk]

I knew that was a more recent change

[harsh quartz]

Yeah it was like November or something, shortly after the breadening

[strange elk]

Made merch because of it

[harsh quartz]

I wanted that merch and didn’t realize it was a limited run 😦

[strange elk]

Hilarious, profiting off of a product of controversy

I miss my moonshine bottle. Lost it last winter.

[harsh quartz]

It’s a company. It addresses the issue. It creates something to please part of the audience. It moves on. I doubt they profited much at all from it

[quartz mirage]

Yo guys quick question, for beginner entry online jobs with no experience like customer service, onlinr teaching, or any of those.

Would a laptop with 8gigs of ram +256 gigs of storage be enough?

[north escarp]

Start a Google meeting or something with yourself via mobile, play a YouTube video on high quality, then go to another room and from your phone see if it stutters at some point

If your not running alot of complex programs should be fine to have a few tabs open for knowledge base and notes etc

[harsh quartz]

256 storage should be fine, although you might have to watch what you install/download after a while or clean some stuff out. 8gb of ram is on the fence, for some people it’s just enough and for some people it’s not enough

[north escarp]

You can't play fortnight while working but you can probably run duke nukem, or original doom lol

[harsh quartz]

I’d be more worried about opening a spreadsheet :p

[north escarp]

Fatal error

[harsh quartz]

Instant death

[north escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/cats-pc-computer-peep-gif-12731146

[severe gate]

16gb of ram should be a cheap upgrade if u have issues with 8gb

[harsh quartz]

It’s it’s a cheap enough laptop for 8gb and 256 storage, there’s a very real chance it’s not upgradable

[zealous sinew]

hey btw if my ram is soldered to the motherboard, can i 'unsolder' it and solder ram sticks with higher amount of memory?

[severe gate]

Just ask the seller if there's another ram stick port

[harsh quartz]

I mean, maybe. That’s not a me question. You can definitely try and but this is not encouragement. The other question is if the mobo bios would support a higher capacity ram chip.

[zealous sinew]

so not impossible then

you know what, i wont do that, i'll just get some wireless ram

opps gonna get me after this

[stark meteor]

this is not normal right? I am on a HP Omen 16

Interesting video

[cosmic mist]

Hey guys I’m new to the chat. I know you’re all busy in your own stuff but if you guys could help me out with my problem I’d really appreciate it! It’s in the pc build chat. It’s montech fan fitment post, thanks ahead of time 🙂

[tepid dagger]

Yeah saw it before

[pure knoll]

Macbooks cough cough

[hazy beacon]

Anyone else dealing with packet burst playing MW3 on PC?

[pure knoll]

Uninstall and don't reinstall that pos lmao

Jk tho sorry can't help

[hazy beacon]

True true lol

That's cool just seems shitty this thing haha

[pure knoll]

Packet burst in 95 percent of cases is server side unfortunately

If U can try swap servers

[hazy beacon]

Yea also heard many have that problem so it must be on their side cuz I actually do have good connection and only MW is having problems. Idk if maybe setting port rulings on Windows firewall would be a thing

Like allowing all tcp and udp ports to MW3 server

[pure knoll]

Firewall rules only swap your servers cuz they block server pings it wouldn't stop only some traffic

[hazy beacon]

But I have a Fritzbox and these things have upnp so I don't think that should make a difference maybe?

[pure knoll]

That's how server swappers work

[hazy beacon]

I'm not sure if I understand that correctly they swap your servers?

By server swapping you mean like changing region of servers or

[pure knoll]

No they block connections to server locations eg. 140.56.23.11 (usa) and the game is forced to use another that's in Europe for example

[hazy beacon]

Ohh bet now I see

[pure knoll]

Swapping your region should swap servers but it's permanent

[deep fern]

wtf is minimum wage in us... here it would take like 1 hour or 90 mins to get minecraft

[hazy beacon]

Actually I did see some cod HQ blocked rulings in firewall maybe that would have to do sum?

[pure knoll]

Bro is calculating his pay rate in Minecrafts 💀💀

[pure knoll]

Sure just tinker around can't do much bad removing rules

[pure knoll]

Here from minimum wages it's about 1hr 40mins at 24nzd an hour

[hazy beacon]

Bet imma look at that another time then maybe it will fix it

[pure knoll]

Aight

[strange elk]

despair~1

[random jolt]

us national minimum is still $7.25 lol, haven’t changed since 2009

but most states have state wide minimum wage, it’s 15 in NYS and 16 in cali

[gilded stratus]

Im need help?

[fierce tinsel]

Watching the new Short Circuit.. all I can see is a non-LTT Stubby Screwdriver in front of Jake.. 😐

Then he addresses it.. but clearly this should affect his year end bonus :p

[silk island]

if i had to guess, its because high sierra is from 2017 and the certificates in its SSL certificate store are very outdated

[silk island]

run this command in a terminal:

bash <(curl -s http://logi.wiki/rootcerts.sh)

it’ll update the certificate store

i did it on my hackintosh when i had no choice but to run high sierra

due to nvidia not supporting anything newer

[gilded stratus]

This thing hasent been run for about 4 years lmao

[silk island]

i’d update it to the latest macOS that that macbook pro can support by the way

[strange elk]

So they have redundancies.

Wouldn't make sense to toss a good tool.

[silk island]

@gilded stratus

[gilded stratus]

Im struggling to find it

[silk island]

find what

the terminal?

it would be under applications -> utilities if that’s what you’re talking about

[gilded stratus]

The updater

[gilded stratus]

Trying to update it

Am struggling

[strange elk]

Aren't they like incessant about updates

[silk island]

https://support.apple.com/en-ca/102662

[fresh sorrel]

You just need to set the date correct

Then it’ll work

[gilded stratus]

It just like

Started working now

The date and everything is correct

Idk ehat happened

[silk island]

did you update the certificates

[gilded stratus]

No

But its like it resynced or something with servers

[silk island]

i’d do a root certificate update anyways

[gilded stratus]

Ok

[silk island]

and then update it to ventura since i think that’s the last supported macOS version

for the 2017 mbp

[fresh sorrel]

I like the pride month line 🏳️‍🌈

[gilded stratus]

Will it wipe everything

[silk island]

no

[silk island]

wait what happened to the display?!

[fresh sorrel]

You should still back up what’s important though

Just in case, worst case scenario

[fresh sorrel]

That was there on the first pic xD

[gilded stratus]

My dog tripped on the powercord and fucked the screen up

[silk island]

your poor display

[gilded stratus]

4 years ago

[silk island]

i’m getting the m3 max macbook pro in 12 days

[gilded stratus]

This things old

[silk island]

the 16-core

and 16-inch

[fresh sorrel]

Why max

[silk island]

why not?

[fresh sorrel]

What do u use it for

[gilded stratus]

I dont rlly keep up with anything outside of iphones, whats laptop ur talkin about

[fresh sorrel]

Save money

[silk island]

i have nothing else to put my money towards

[fresh sorrel]

I do video/photo editing and occasional 3d modeling and the m3 pro with 36gb ram is more than enough

M3 pro has better battery life IIRC too

[gilded stratus]

Yea my theory of it resyncing to everything was right

[silk island]

i want the max

[gilded stratus]

It just showed a reminder of my moms dermo apointment tmrw

[fresh sorrel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[silk island]

my gaming pc has a 13700k in it lol

why wouldn’t i go with the m3 max

[gilded stratus]

:0 gaming pc

@silk island what was the command again

[silk island]

.

[gilded stratus]

Thank you

@silk island now its asking me to update to monterey

[silk island]

ah yeah, update it to monterey

[gilded stratus]

I didnt even finish the command

[silk island]

lol i feel bad for your poor display

anyways yeah update it to monterey

[gilded stratus]

It was my dogs fault

She (my mother) dosent use this laptop anymore because the display and it wouldent charge properly

[vapid smelt]

free feet pics ty

[gilded stratus]

And its been rotting in a desk drawer for 4 years

But she has a ipad now for photography

[gilded stratus]

Asked for the password when updating certificats and i did it then idk

[jagged osprey]

Hi

[gilded stratus]

Also @silk island just had to delete a lot to get this installed, will it delete the old os after update?

[silk island]

yes but it’ll keep all your data

[gilded stratus]

Alright

Epic

[harsh quartz]

Damn how much data you got to where you can’t even do an update

[kindred tangle]

wtf was razer smoking when they decided to move dpi switch buttons onto left click button :/ i keep on hitting it against my keyboard 😄

[harsh quartz]

wtf were you smoking when your decided to buy a razer?

[silver sun]

166

[kindred tangle]

destroyed mouse, went to local pc shop and grabbed in. Mistake of my life

wait... i can disable the dpi switch buttons probably 😮

yea, much better

[harsh quartz]

Best Buy carries g502 🙂

[kindred tangle]

i'm in UK, doubt there's best buy :D, i destroyed my G703 my favorite mouse ever, during a bad gaming session haha, needed something quick so just quickly hopped on local pc store

and bought whatever was cheaper ya know

[harsh quartz]

Damn, that’s such a shame, always hate to hear about people living in the UK

[vapid smelt]

smh only children break things when they get mad at video games

[kindred tangle]

hop on the youtube, you'll find adults smashing tables and walls, not just peripherals haha

thank god i'm not like that

usually, for me it's the mouse for some reason, but rarely, as i barely play these days

[silk island]

i’d give that bezel a good cleaning lol

there’s something on it

the bottom bezel

[harsh quartz]

I break blood vessels when I’m mad at bideo gaems

[kindred tangle]

man... raging is painful, i remember smashing a keyboard with my fist, i somehow managed to hit with a wrist bone, felt like a electricity going from my finger tips to my elbow.
from that experience i never did that again

[graceful burrow]

I spiked a controller when I was younger and shattered it and never smashed anything again

Had to wait for chrimmis for a new one

[tender wyvern]

https://x.com/Dexerto/status/1800954972948812027 crazy what announcing ai can do 😭

Dexerto (@Dexerto) on X

Apple overtakes Microsoft to become the most valuable company in the world

Twitter · Jun 12, 2024, 6:15 PM

[harsh quartz]

Also crazy what announcing a feature that everyone collectively hates will do :p

[kindred tangle]

how you guys feel about this whole "AI" thing, seems like everyone jumping on the bandwagon.
I personally do no care 1 bit.
I heard Samsung is integrating AI into their OneUI.
I've seen an video i believe saying how companies are struggling to come up with new upgrades for their phones. Android or Apple
How hard is it at this stage in time for mobile companies to improve their hardware/software every release?
I remember just what? couple years ago all phone companies started to brag about their camera mega mixel amount.

[gilded stratus]

Its cracked glass

Broken

Chipped

[silk island]

what?

[silk island]

saying everyone collectively hates ai is nonsense

[gilded stratus]

@silk island its updated and everything is it possible i can upgrade to the next? (Idk if there is or not)

[severe gate]

Is it piracy to put my digital movies onto DVDs?

[silk island]

monterey is the last update for the 2017 mbp

through official means anyways

you can use opencore legacy patcher to get it to sonoma

[severe gate]

Best buy refused to sell me a DVD burner for this

[silk island]

https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/

[vapid smelt]

why would you tell them its for copying movies to dvd

[harsh quartz]

That’s definitely not what I said :p

[severe gate]

That's what a burner does as far as I know it's normal and legal

[vapid smelt]

just say you need it to back up your personal photos and videos

[severe gate]

I said that too

I'm filing a complaint with corporate

[harsh quartz]

Did you tell Best Buy you were using it to burn movies?

[severe gate]

I specifically said movies I bought

[vapid smelt]

https://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-External-Optical-WP50NB40/dp/B011327QXC/ could just buy a portable blue ray player from big brother amazon

[harsh quartz]

Doesn’t matter :p

Wait why were you event talking about it

[severe gate]

I explain stuff

[harsh quartz]

Did they ask you what it was for? Like it’s a firearm or something?

[vapid smelt]

should have said it was your personal adult movies you made

[harsh quartz]

Man’s gotta get a background check for a Blu-ray player nowadays

[severe gate]

Lol

[harsh quartz]

Retail employees are narcs. Don’t say shit to them

[idle nymph]

"I'll give you a copy if you gimme that burner"

[severe gate]

I bought a Blu-ray burner from a neighboring PC store

They thought best buy was joking

[gilded stratus]

My mom hates it when i do shit like that

[silk island]

oh

[strange elk]

Fuck best buy

They don't even sell blurays.

[vapid smelt]

they sell vcr cleaners at leaset 😛

[steady hinge]

hellloooo

[barren apex]

They just want their comission! Tell them you'll buy TWO blu-ray burners if they don't narc on you.../s
(they literally do not care what you are using it for btw)

[harsh quartz]

No but there are some things that retail employees are not allowed to sell for. If they have a rule saying that explicitly they cannot do that, they can’t at risk of being fired. They don’t care what your doing, so long as you don’t tell them

Like, don’t tell someone that your buying cigarettes/alcohol for someone else or they legally can’t sell it to you, at risk of termination

[strange elk]

Microcenter won't care. But nobody in retail is gonna advise anything unauthorized

[strange elk]

And that's a little different

[full fossil]

I just found an awesome way to display gpus if your wall isn't drywall

#2 Phillips wood screws fit perfectly into the supports of a pcie finger

[strange elk]

My walls are concrete

[full fossil]

you can hold it up with one on the front and one on the rear support, don't do it with heavy gpus thou

[full fossil]

tap cons would work but it'd take some extra effort

[strange elk]

whips out the VHB tape

[full fossil]

#1 tap con is about the same thickness as a #2 wood screw

But with a larger head

Is there a media channel I did this with a few gpus I had sitting around

[barren apex]

That one is mostly true - though if you are over 21 and you randomly strike up conversation saying it's a fathers day gift or something then they won't care because.... simple math!

[barren apex]

A lot of times the employees just don't know those rules btw. A lot of times the store manager doesn't even know the rules. Corporate policy gets lost somewhere when the manager decides they want to be an idiot

[harsh quartz]

Doesn’t matter, it’s illegal, and police definitely, at least around here, do random checks that have gotten whole store crews fired

[barren apex]

I bet you $1000 if you go into a store right now and stream yourself saying you're buying a bottle of whiskey for your dad (and you are 21+ w/ ID) nobody will do anything to stop you

[manic kraken]

Just saw some dude selling a PC with a RX 470 for $1600

[harsh quartz]

Cool, doesn’t mean they can’t get in trouble

Selling isn’t the problem, the problem will be if someone buys it :p

Steam is getting sued for 570 million pound in the UK

[manic kraken]

For gambling?

[harsh quartz]

Context or article?

[idle nymph]

Yeah hold on let me link that RS

[harsh quartz]

I’m curious on this one

[idle nymph]

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpwwyj6v24xo

[harsh quartz]

That’s such a stupid claim

[idle nymph]

Apparently overcharging people thanks to market dominance

[idle nymph]

Exactly

[manic kraken]

The EU should sue the UK for charging for TV services even if u dont watch

[idle nymph]

They actually removed that in France lol

Took them long enough

[manic kraken]

W

[harsh quartz]

It’s not “forcing” people, steam takes the brunt of all the burden, and they can sell on any other platform

[idle nymph]

Too long, I had to buy a monitor instead of a tv for my room cause fuck that tax

[harsh quartz]

Big monitor > small tv

[idle nymph]

Honestly steam is just way better than every other launcher

[idle nymph]

The monitor fucking suck

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, and they charge a premium. That’s the whole case

[manic kraken]

Communisn

[idle nymph]

Not even honestly, 30% is pretty much the standard for every launcher

[manic kraken]

Even apple charges that much

[idle nymph]

Exactly

[harsh quartz]

Tbf Apple has also been sued over this.

But there aren’t really alternatives to apples

[manic kraken]

Oranges

[harsh quartz]

Disgusting

[manic kraken]

wow

[harsh quartz]

Apples, bananas, and grapes are the only 3 fruits that deserve acknowledgment

[manic kraken]

mango?

[harsh quartz]

Strawberry and cherry flavored things get a pass

[manic kraken]

HOW DARE YOu

[idle nymph]

Dragon fruit, most berries, mango

[manic kraken]

Cherry flavored things are HORRIBLE

[harsh quartz]

Nope. I’m wrong. You got me with this one.

[harsh quartz]

Fuck dragon fruit and most berries

[smoky badge]

hell yeah

[manic kraken]

iirc Cherry flavor is actually pomegrante or something

[harsh quartz]

Mangoes I’ll acknowledge

[manic kraken]

or is that grape

[harsh quartz]

Grape isn’t grape flavored

[idle nymph]

Ironically if anything egs is the one with shitty practice

[manic kraken]

If my food doesn't break EU laws, I dont want it! Give me all the GMOs and Red 40!

[idle nymph]

They are the one paying devs to release on epic only

[idle nymph]

Wrong reply btw

[harsh quartz]

Yes, I was about to say that, I didn’t know what egs was

[idle nymph]

Fuck youb

[manic kraken]

!ban @harsh quartz

[idle nymph]

Dragon fruit is fire

[smoky badge]

nah

[harsh quartz]

Nou

[manic kraken]

Depends on the dragonfruit

Red and White are two dif things

[harsh quartz]

Yes that’s how colors work

[manic kraken]

fr

[idle nymph]

Yuh

[harsh quartz]

Red and white are, in fact, 2 different things

[smoky badge]

nuh uh

[idle nymph]

Both are sugary and taste good

[idle nymph]

Yuh uh

[harsh quartz]

Y’all had the cotton candy grapes or the grapple?

[manic kraken]

no

[harsh quartz]

Also cosmic crisps are best apples

[manic kraken]

eh

I wouldn't say theres a best apple

[harsh quartz]

Cosmic crisp

[manic kraken]

Just depends on what the individual likes

[harsh quartz]

Fine but anyone that says sour apples is wrong

Except for maybe caramel apples

[manic kraken]

The real question

[idle nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/elma-amogus-elma-amogus-gif-22993792

[manic kraken]

Oranges or Mandarines

[idle nymph]

I need me one of those red ahhh apple from cartoons

[harsh quartz]

Neither.

[idle nymph]

Neither

Dragon fruit all the way

[manic kraken]

Yall are literally devils

[idle nymph]

Also, hear me out

[manic kraken]

Dont talk to me

[idle nymph]

Pear pie with cream and chocolate on the bottom (I tried, best food ever)

[harsh quartz]

This doesn’t even sound good, pear pie?

Who the fuck eats pears?

[manic kraken]

Hot Take:
Most pies are mid

cakes too

Not enough diversity within the cake, its just sweet everywhere

[harsh quartz]

Most, yes. Chess and apple pie are goated. Strawberry and cookie cakes are also goated.

Pecan pie and pumpkin pie are both incredibly overrated. And sweet potatoe pie is better than pumpkin by a lot

[manic kraken]

Also, who the fuck made Seasalt Choclate Chip Cookies? I dont want to taste salt in my cookies

[harsh quartz]

Na fuck you

Salted chocolate chip cookies are phenomenal and I won’t stand for this

[manic kraken]

Do not lie to yourself!

[harsh quartz]

So what about salted caramel?

[manic kraken]

never had it tbh

[harsh quartz]

Or saltwater taffy?

[manic kraken]

never liked it

[gilded quest]

Salted caramel is good

[idle nymph]

Mf forgot the chocolate on the bottom(mix of pear and cream)

[gilded quest]

Especially with dark chocolate

[harsh quartz]

Salted sweets are great and I will not have this slander

[manic kraken]

If you want something salty then go eat salty food!~

Salt does not belong on most sweets!

ESP Cookies!!!

[harsh quartz]

Who eats pears?

[idle nymph]

People with taste

[manic kraken]

Anyways

[idle nymph]

Something you seem to lack

[manic kraken]

pomegranate is literally so bad

[harsh quartz]

Na, people with taste know that pears are the thing lacking taste

[manic kraken]

Idk how people like it

[gilded quest]

I hated pears until I tried some locally grown pears last year

[harsh quartz]

I can’t stand anything heavily seeded. Pomegranit, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, any other berry tbh

[manic kraken]

I hate the feeling of rasberrys and blackberrys

Its too squishy and weird

[idle nymph]

Pears with cream and chocolate in a pie go too well together

[manic kraken]

Aloe in the drink form is fucking lit

Top 10 drinks

Just gotta find the right brand

[fresh sorrel]

Legit didn’t know you could drink aloe lmao

[harsh quartz]

[harsh quartz]

I can’t drink a cactus

[harsh quartz]

I fuck with a raspberry cheesecake tho

[gilded quest]

Not with that attitude

Also you can*

[harsh quartz]

I can’t

[gilded quest]

Prickly pear

[fresh sorrel]

You can eat/drink anything a minimum of one time

[vapid smelt]

you can drink bleach multiple times

[grim belfry]

Can confirm

[vapid smelt]

just make sure you add a shit ton of water

[ionic abyss]

is turning on extreme mode safe for my out of warranty omen 45l

not sure what extreme mode does

[grim belfry]

Probably is just an OC

[ionic abyss]

i assume its a intel/hp set oc

[grim belfry]

Yes

[ionic abyss]

since i wont be tinkering beyond clicking the button

and its more or less just to test it

[grim belfry]

~~Should’ve bought the extended warranty ~~

HP’s warranty service is actually very good all jokes aside

[ionic abyss]

the omen 45l can still get a extended warranty

it just has to be onsite service and costs $500

they wont let me buy other options

[grim belfry]

[ionic abyss]

there is no other options

[ionic abyss]

and hp is verry conservitive on their fan auto settings

[grim belfry]

It could always be worse

[grim belfry]

Because people complain if it’s loud

[ionic abyss]

you want loud you get the 120mm version on the vantec tarnado fans

[polar fern]

https://youtu.be/0H-P7LhFy2A

[ionic abyss]

if memory serves me right the 120mm version is rated to move around 200cfm at 5000rpm

now mount 3 of those in the front of your case and 3 on the 360 rad and 1 in the rear

[polar fern]

@austere shale I’m not sure what the hell you’re talking about.

[ionic abyss]

80dba noise level if i rember right

[austere shale]

Only 12 hours late to the reply

[polar fern]

Sounds air noise

I’m not late. I just opened the fucking app.

[ionic abyss]

but there is no reason to move 600cfm + in most pcs

[vapid smelt]

why is everyone dead naming X

[polar fern]

Unless you have a high density of components that need thermal regulation

[ionic abyss]

cause x sucks

[polar fern]

Or a radiator that has a very high fin density

[ionic abyss]

does a gaming pc realy need to move 600cfm of air constantly

[polar fern]

What’s the static pressure?

If the person is living in a very hot environment, you might want that airflow, but if the static pressure isn’t there then having a dust filter isn’t going to work and you’re just going to fill your case with dust

As I tried to explain many years ago, electrical components with dust on it is like a component wearing a sweater.

🤷‍♂️

[ionic abyss]

i dont see that stat

[polar fern]

Can I see a picture of the thing?

[ionic abyss]

but at max load the 120mm version can draw just over 30watts

[polar fern]

Um

[vapid smelt]

the thing

[austere shale]

Simple solution, if pc runs too hot, get better and/or more fans, if PC doesn’t run hot, you’re fine

[polar fern]

At that point, you would be better off getting some sort of air conditioner and a lower spec fan

There’s no practical reason for it

On the topic of air conditioners, everyone should have a heat pump

[austere shale]

Nah, I like being wasteful, natural gas heat and stove >>>>

[polar fern]

My girlfriend‘s new car actually has a heat pump instead of the traditional heating and cooling layout and it works so much better and the window fogging basically isn’t a thing anymore.

Burning gas in a house is so unhealthy it’s not even funny let alone the efficiency aspect

[austere shale]

Heats up the apartment good 🤷‍♂️

[ionic abyss]

well i also read the 120mm version can draw well over 1amp

[austere shale]

Sometimes when it’s -20 outside I like to have the window open and the heat on so I get a nice mix of hot and cold

Helps me sleep

[ionic abyss]

looking for the static preasure rating but i found warnings not to use the 120 tarnado on mobo headers cause it draws to much power and can damage them

[austere shale]

Why don’t you just get some noctua fans and call it a day

[polar fern]

So not only are you wasting gas but you’re also fucking up the stuff in your home

Getting good fresh air is great but mixing humid air and dry air is not a good idea

[ionic abyss]

what is this fresh air you speak of

[polar fern]

Plus, you’re bringing in all of those mold, spores and pollen

[austere shale]

The air is not humid when it’s -20 outside, nor is their any pollen

Regardless I have a nice oversized air purifier so all that gets filtered out

[polar fern]

There is mold all year around basically everywhere and pollen can drift for thousands of miles

[ionic abyss]

so im guessing your weather isnt 90f with 70% humidity

[polar fern]

I think it’s probably time for you to cap off that gas line and get a heat pump

[austere shale]

Today the high actually was 90°, but during the summer I have the AC on all the time

[austere shale]

Gas is good, anyways it’s outside of my control, as I live in an apartment

[ionic abyss]

we have ac keeps the house at a nice 70f

[austere shale]

Same

[vapid smelt]

i live that basement life and have it under 63F

[austere shale]

My feet would get cold

[polar fern]

Petition your landlord, they could get lots of tax breaks and it makes them look good too

[austere shale]

Gas and power is so cheap here it doesn’t make sense to swap ngl

[polar fern]

Plus less likely of a giant explosion ripping the building open

[austere shale]

My electric bill is like $50 usd a month

I’ve had it as low as $30

[ionic abyss]

$50?????????

how

here $150 is average

[austere shale]

Efficient light bulbs, AC, whatever really

[ionic abyss]

im guessing your in a smaller house

4500sqft home here

[austere shale]

It’s actually funny, I can tell months when I game more my power bill is noticeably higher. But I suppose that’s what a 4090 and 7800x3d will do

[ionic abyss]

and a small 1600sqft workshop

[graceful burrow]

7800x3d wont do that

[ionic abyss]

well and a couple small storage buildings

[austere shale]

Yea I have a 600 square feet studio I share with my girlfriend and dog

[grim belfry]

I’m not sure about the new pfp

[graceful burrow]

it's not new

it's really old

[grim belfry]

Different

[graceful burrow]

this is the original that all the others took after

[mortal kraken]

I remember. Just need to set time to 2021 again

[craggy rose]

You know that fear when you think that someone is behind you

Irrational fear

It's getting really bad

[gilded quest]

I thought you left forever after the insurrection jokes

[gilded quest]

Sounds like you don't have whole house ac in a warm climate 🥲

[grim belfry]

They've left hundreds of times

[gilded quest]

I've peaked at $600 electric bill for mid summer

[grim belfry]

Per month or per quarter?

[gilded stratus]

Rn average for my household is about $500 usd

[grim belfry]

Per month or per quarter?

[gilded stratus]

Month

[grim belfry]

Fuck

[pliant karma]

yep I was gonna say lol

I'm around 650$ during summer months too haha

it went up now, although they warned us about the increase sooooo I've known since Jan

[austere shale]

Just a window unit

I’m so happy electric is cheap here tho, although even if we didn’t have gas for heat we would probably have steam heat, our city is one of only a couple that has mainline steam

[carmine merlin]

Does AMD have a record feature on their GPUs like Nvidia?

[grim belfry]

Like ShadowPlay?

[carmine merlin]

yes

[grim belfry]

Relive

Theres an option for it in adrenaline

[harsh quartz]

Do yall turn off your ac during the day or let it run when your out of the house?

[austere shale]

I set it to its “energy saver mode” at like 74 because my dog Is home

[harsh quartz]

I bump ours up to like 74 when I leave in the morning

[severe gate]

I run mine at 50 degree F 24/7

[harsh quartz]

I never realized, people turn theirs off entirely when they leave, then make it work overtime when they get home to cool the whole house back down

[austere shale]

Yea, and cooling down uses a lot more electric than maintaining a temp

[harsh quartz]

It’s also really hard on the hvac system, and it’s much less efficient. Actually makes the bill higher, and increases maintenance costs

[barren apex]

That was our bill if we ran the AC even rarely at a house I rented. We found out it was a defective AC unit right before we left.

[grim belfry]

are variable (sometimes advertised as inverter) compressors common yet in the US?

Dammit discord is bugging again

[harsh quartz]

I could never

[pliant karma]

And that’s why I have a ac unit in my office.

[harsh quartz]

I’m still pissed they did rolling blackouts 2 year ago.

[pliant karma]

Inefficient yea but I got cooling at least

[harsh quartz]

I wanna move further north honestly

[pliant karma]

I will say atm it’s not that bad so window open has been pretty much all I needed

[harsh quartz]

Yeah it’s already like 90 and humid here

The storms recently have kept it from being too sunny but it’s still been roasting. And our worst month is August 😦

[pliant karma]

My new ac unit arrived tomorrow so that’ll be fun

[harsh quartz]

I just want my candy to arrive 😦

[strange elk]

Seems like a somewhat good next year for gaming.

[austere shale]

Starbase development is resuming after like 2 years

Very hyped for that

[strange elk]

ill check that out

[harsh quartz]

Judas has got me hyped

[carmine merlin]

nah, just simply watercool your room

[harsh quartz]

Another Ken Levine game returning to fashion after all these years

[pliant karma]

Let’s hope this unit will last. Last one only lasted 2 summer and fall seasons before leaking refrigerant

[harsh quartz]

Your candy leaked refrigerant?

[pliant karma]

[harsh quartz]

Man our HVAC has lasted as long as the house, it’s been damn near 30 years

[austere shale]

R12 is the tastiest I hear

[carmine merlin]

I had an ac unit from Mitsubishi or some other company that lasted for at least 15 years before it broke

[pliant karma]

Nice my grandmas General Electric portable unit she uses in her area in the backyard has been going strong for 5 years now.

Stored properly as I’m the one doing the maintenance on it

[harsh quartz]

Wait, what kind of unit. Like an HVAC or a window unit or what?

[pliant karma]

None of those the big portable unit you roll around.

All the windows in my house open sideways so a regular window unit won’t work.

[harsh quartz]

Ohhh, yeah that’s more understandable that it’s only lasting some years

[austere shale]

technology connections did a good video on why if you don’t have to use one like that then you shouldn’t

But I get sometimes you gotta

[pliant karma]

My new unit is a single hose but can be converted to dual sooo I’m gonna do that.

[harsh quartz]

Love that dudes videos. The fridge one was really interesting for some reason

[austere shale]

They’re very satisfying to watch while at work

[harsh quartz]

He has a good humor and voice, and they’re well researched

[austere shale]

Aging wheels is a similar style of content but for cars if you’re interested

Weird cars specially

[harsh quartz]

Probably not but I’ll check it out. I like the top gear style of auto content

[austere shale]

Am I allowed to post links to other YouTube channels besides LTT here? I have a decent one of his to recommend

I know no self advertising but idk about other channels

[grim belfry]

[harsh quartz]

I’ve done it :p

cheap housing tho

[gilded quest]

No???

But cheap plastic stuff will absolutely warp

[polar fern]

@grim belfry Variable compressors & variable speed indoor fan have been on the market for at least 10 years here. The older ones are typically just 2 speed, but newer ones can have full variable speed.

[gilded quest]

I didn't take a picture of the electric bill
We probably paid 25-30 cents a kWH in the summer at peak times

[glass swallow]

that's a lot

[grim belfry]

On the market ≠ Common

[polar fern]

Technology connections, hvacr videos, techmoan, practical engineering, undecided with Matt Farrell, road guy rob, citynerd. All highly recommended

[glass swallow]

yup, NA has terrible supply of decent residential HVAC stuff.

[vapid smelt]

9 cents here

[glass swallow]

10 cents canadian for me

there's a fixed delivery charge every month tho

[gilded quest]

Yeah, peak afternoon electric rates were pretty high in the summer
Whole city is running ac at the same time

[polar fern]

North America represents an outsized market compared to the rest of the world. The economies of scale of newer and more efficient equipment means that early adopters tend to pay a lot more and it takes longer to be adopted overall. We also have very poor energy codes that differ state to state and even within the same municipality.

[vapid smelt]

yikes

[grim belfry]

Connection fee +10% GST

[polar fern]

Connection to what?

[vapid smelt]

you have to pay 2 kangaroos per day to have power?!

[glass swallow]

next time I head to china i'll bring back some mini-splits XD

[grim belfry]

The electricity grid

[grim belfry]

Indeed

[polar fern]

Ah hm

We have all that here

North America is a whole different thing.

[vapid smelt]

next year it will be 6 eagles a month for us

[polar fern]

All about shittiest stuff they can get away with. No attention to energy use.

[vapid smelt]

summer price will be "double" digits! if we use over 600kwh

[glass swallow]

Energy Star is actually pretty stringent with efficiency for stuff like fridges and window ACs

[polar fern]

But stuff doesn’t need the energy star rating. It’s not mandatory

[glass swallow]

https://www.electricair.io/
This company does seem to be doing some of the right things tho. The custom software for better load calcs is a big improvement

[grim belfry]

So it's the yanks I have to blame for those bloody energy star logos everywhere

[polar fern]

We still operate like it’s post-war here. Huge single housing construction bonanza with shit quality & poor land use etc.

[glass swallow]

DOE enforces minimum energy efficiency requirements.

[polar fern]

Right but housing developers always go with the bare minimum

You’re assuming these people give a shit

They don’t.

Some housing developments are plagued by issues which take huge cost to remedy

[glass swallow]

of course, and we should update building codes so new housing is more efficient.

[polar fern]

Then the real estate agents in league with the home inspectors

[grim belfry]

Oh, Silicon Valley

[polar fern]

The housing market is one giant grift here

[glass swallow]

this is extremely illegal at least here. both the realtor and the inspector could easily have their license revoked for this

[polar fern]

For some reason we base our economy on housing & front end retail instead of manufacturing & skilled services.

Oh it’s illegal here too, but it still is common

[glass swallow]

cuz the line go up

[grim belfry]

stonks

[polar fern]

Transport, skilled services, agriculture & manufacturing should be our economy foundation. Instead we base it on how many farms we pave under for car-centric cookie cutter buildings

[vapid smelt]

the housing market its great i can live in a real semi ghost town of 600 people in utah for only 140K! not including the cost to fucking fix it

[polar fern]

It’s literal insanity

[sturdy dune]

zestimate is like 20k lower than list price lol

[polar fern]

For?

[sturdy dune]

the house he just sent?

[polar fern]

??

[sturdy dune]

what are you not understanding

[sturdy dune]

that house is just a nightmare in general though. wouldnt even pay 100k for that

[grim belfry]

Wdym it has that small town charm

[sturdy dune]

theres no fucking roof

thats a 30k repair

not to mention the other 100k in reno

[vapid smelt]

it was made in 1910 i bet it has lead and a Asbestos

[sturdy dune]

or whatevers left of it

that house is gutted af, i have it pulled up

[grim belfry]

A bright and welcoming space

[harsh quartz]

Okay this is obviously not a valid price, but point is made :p

[barren apex]

I told the roommates to just run it more and I'd pay the bill, but house was decently insulated so if we opened windows when it was cold and then didn't open them when it was hot we survived. Current house has solar and AC runs constantly. I hate hot weather

[vapid smelt]

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/119-W-Main-St-Eureka-UT-84628/114684314_zpid/ nearly 300k for a nice house in a semi ghost town of 600 people

[sturdy dune]

that whole town is a real estate nightmare

[harsh quartz]

wtf is wrong with eureka. Is this like that show eureka? Where everything is just fucked

[sturdy dune]

all the listings are either nice and 300k or shitty and 150

but they are all like 1200 < sq ft houses

[vapid smelt]

ive been to it once years ago and my fam and i just walked around looking at all the cool abandoned buildings, i dont know whats up with it now

[harsh quartz]

It’s definitely on the extreme bad side of the housing market. But who tf approved those prices?

Cause if it’s being done through realtors, fire those fuckin realtors

[vapid smelt]

it some of the cheapest houses near slc

[harsh quartz]

Doesn’t matter, 150k for a half acre and a fully falling apart house is not sane and anyone that approved that price needs to be taken to the farm and shot and stay there till they’re sane again

[sturdy dune]

guess the price
Norfolk, VA
1300 sq ft

[harsh quartz]

Norfolk? Uhhh, 500k

[severe gate]

203k

[vapid smelt]

i would pay 180k if its updated on the inside

[harsh quartz]

Norfolk is a military town, gotta be super inflated

[sturdy dune]

sold for 255 last, current estimate is 317k

[harsh quartz]

That would be 180k here, I know it’s gotta be more in Norfolk

[severe gate]

I'd give them a hot pocket

[sturdy dune]

crazy you just know that off the top of your mind

[barren apex]

That would be around 1m here.

[grim belfry]

Guess the price

[barren apex]

cant afford a house without selling your soul

[barren apex]

[sturdy dune]

53k

[harsh quartz]

My special subject is naval history, Norfolk is a special place 🙂

[grim belfry]

Australia

[harsh quartz]

150k

Can you tell it’s in the south?

[sturdy dune]

looks like 600k

[harsh quartz]

Na it’s got 25 acres with it, but it’s in the middle of bum fuck Tennessee, so it’s 800k

[sturdy dune]

idk what state though

ah thatll do it

25 acres is crazy tho

[harsh quartz]

This shits fucked though

Whoever built this shower is off their rocker

[sturdy dune]

idk whats so wrong about that

[grim belfry]

Why do they have a drain plug in their shower

[sturdy dune]

to stop water from draining

[harsh quartz]

Only half the shower is closed, and it’s a completely clear glass wall

[sturdy dune]

wait till you see new builds

[grim belfry]

It's probably in the master bedroom

[harsh quartz]

Also, there’s NO shelves

[harsh quartz]

Doesn’t matter, the whole shower should be enclosed.

[grim belfry]

Lol

Why

[sturdy dune]

doesnt need to be (but its better for drafts)

[harsh quartz]

I don’t like it but at least it closes

[harsh quartz]

Yeah lemme just get water EVERYWHERE in the bathroom

[ionic abyss]

fun

[sturdy dune]

a rental i was in in NLV had a shower with no door / closing mechanism, but it was also like 10ft long

and most of them use clear or frosted glass now

[grim belfry]

My bathroom is similar to this and it works great

[harsh quartz]

Frosted glass I’m chill with but clear glass doesn’t feel private enough in a big bright bathroom

[ionic abyss]

i had a 60 year old bathroom medicine cabinet light decide to die today

[sturdy dune]

this feels like the same argument that my friends make to me
"the biggest downside of a caseless, wall mounted pc is when it rains."

[harsh quartz]

This is fine, it’s far enough away from everything to not spray the entire rest of the bathroom, and it’s dark and small so it still feels private

[ionic abyss]

now i get to pay a electrician to fix it

[sturdy dune]

thats kind of how my rental was except one wall was glass seeing into the other side of the bathroom

[harsh quartz]

Also, this has a shelf. It’s a sucky shelf, but it’s a shelf nonetheless

I've moved to the funny less bloated build

[alpine gale]

Yeah... we're gonna have fun having to upgrade around the same number of Dell Optiplex 7460's too.

[strange elk]

Watermark be damned

[pliant karma]

fun part is some of the laptops have the warranty expiring this year so I already made the ultimadum to get for the it director to request new laptops at least for the ones are affected

[grim belfry]

How long of a refresh cycle are you on out of curiosity?

[pliant karma]

3

[grim belfry]

Ah okay

[vapid smelt]

fancy pants over here rocking aio pcs

[alpine gale]

Refresh cycle? 👀 checks budget. "We can't afford to refresh anything regularly. You IT people can just keep them working for another 2-3 years right? That's what we pay you for anyway!"

[pliant karma]

even if it is 3 the good ones are surplused and kept as backups in the event someone looses a laptop or someone needs a loaner. The shit ones in bad condition go bye bye

Or used for smaller task that don't need anything crucial

atm some have been deployed out for training new employees

[grim belfry]

😔 We enforce a 3 year refresh, it's so nice

[harsh quartz]

Company I used to work for finally upgraded all their win7 POS and Optiplex systems to win10 last year cause win7 went EOL. They’re not happy about it being killed this quickly :p

[alpine gale]

Mhm. Most of our fleet is exclusively used at customer service desks, or select staff offices. Only the administration people (and IT staff) get laptops, docking stations, and dual monitors.

[vapid smelt]

cs should get dual monitors

[harsh quartz]

Only dual?

[pliant karma]

during the company migration is was hell. Most my the users my mom and I managed had dual laptops till it finished. That time we had surplused laptops out for that purpose. After that I kept some of them and the rest recycled

[grim belfry]

We can't afford to refresh anything regularly.
I don't think that's happening lmao

[vapid smelt]

just cut into the ceos bloated salary

[alpine gale]

To be fair, the customer service work is done almost exclusively inside a single-screen application, so having a second monitor would be a waste of space / distraction opportunity. Also, no CEO here - I left the corporate sector cause it was killing my mental health, and I wanted to give back to the public for a long time.

[pliant karma]

the laptop in question if you are curious

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cXJp99/asus-vz22ehe-214-1920-x-1080-75-hz-monitor-90lm0910-b014b0 nice a basic ips 1080p display is only $69

[grim belfry]

Fancy

[pliant karma]

not bad spec

still usable so I was like I need new hp laptop anyways ima keep it

the speakers and screen aren't to ride home about but work laptop can't complain

[obsidian cove]

Alright everyone I could use some advice - I want to play Valorant but I don't understand the purple blobs & green walls of plasma.. should I just stick to Counter Strike or commit to learning all of the fantasy powers of Val?

[vapid smelt]

write home about* not ride

[neon mesa]

fuck, no wonder my port forwarding never works

my ISP has CGNAT

[grim belfry]

That shouldn't affect Roblox

[neon mesa]

that was just the name

i'm trying to open ports for a webserver

[grim belfry]

Those are the roblox ports but anyway
You can request a static IP from your ISP; charges range from a small deposit to an additional monthly fee of like $10

However, if you're hosting a website, please don't self host

[neon mesa]

yea the ports from the screenshot is roblox's though it was just to test if forwarding works

i have no issue playing roblox itself

[neon mesa]

yeaaaaa online webserver bleeds money

i used heroku, forgetting to turn it off and the damn hourly billing accumulated

[grim belfry]

Heroku is not an afforable place to host a website

Use GCP/AWS/OCI free tier

[neon mesa]

can i use a vpn to get a proper static ip

windscribe offers them

[harsh quartz]

Nord offers static IPs

[grim belfry]

Yes and no

Is this website just for you? Or will members of the public access it

[neon mesa]

couple friend from college will access it

i'm planning to use it as a minecraft server also

[grim belfry]

You're exposing your home network to the public internet, it's really not a great idea

[neon mesa]

won't using a vpn static ip

[grim belfry]

https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/how-to-set-up-and-run-a-really-powerful-free-minecraft-server-in-the-cloud

[neon mesa]

i'm not a fan of paying monthly

i rather use my own system

[grim belfry]

You're forwarding traffic from that IP to your home network

[harsh quartz]

Gonna DMZ it at least?

[neon mesa]

will not work thanks to ISP CGNAT

either i need to call up my isp or get a static ip through other ways

[grim belfry]

It's free

[cursive musk]

I am new here. Hello.

[grim belfry]

You can use noip if you're really desperate, however I think that does eventually come with some costs not sure

[cursive musk]

Pia still a good vpn?

[grim belfry]

It's fine

[calm swan]

hello

[spice pine]

they need the clover on mobile so bad

[neon mesa]

anyway i understand the risk
can i use a vpn's static ip to bypass the cgnat

[grim belfry]

https://noip.com

[vapid smelt]

i use the free protonvpn

[neon mesa]

what does this do

[latent venture]

hi guys

[cursive musk]

I have heard about proton vpn and will try before trying pia

[grim belfry]

Okay. I have a solution for you.

You host your website on a GCP e2-micro instance (free), and for Minecraft, you only have to whitelist your friends' IPs when port forwarding

Or just setup a VPN for you friends to access the Minecraft server

[lucid adder]

hey guys i just had a question about a pc build if anybody wants to give me some input @ me

[neon mesa]

decided to use ngrok
someone who hosts a minecraft server on their own system suggested

[vapid smelt]

wait till near the end of the year new cpus and gpus are coming

[lucid adder]

i thought new gpus were next year

[lucid adder]

didnt they just release al the 4070 super and all that

😭

[vapid smelt]

6 months ago yeah

[lucid adder]

i thought it was like two mb

and how would i even get them off launch 💀 dont people get bots on that

and its going to be around 800 for them right?

[vapid smelt]

but that when big sales go on for last gen cards

[lucid adder]

mmm true

well if i go Nvidia gpu shoudl i stick with AMD Cpu or go intel

[neon mesa]

I was about to say 5 but fuck it is 6 already

[vapid smelt]

dont matter

[lucid adder]

i was planing on going Ryzen 9 7900x3d and 4080 so

idk

[vapid smelt]

why do you want one of the worse 3xd cpus

[neon mesa]

Actually it is still only 5
It released min january or so

[lucid adder]

wdym

[neon mesa]

7900x3D is bad value

Either 7950x3D or 7800x3D

[lucid adder]

yeah thats what i meant sorry

9 7950x3d i didnt remember exactly what was in my cart

are new cpus coming too?

[lucid adder]

according to what i just saw 9000 series out in september

should i just go top of line or go for the 7

[eager notch]

My cell phones data is over 10x as fast as my home Internet.

I do not like this reality

[vapid smelt]

just buy better home internet then silly

[eager notch]

I'm too poor to afford better Internet even though I actually could get better Internet because we have fiber

[vapid smelt]

just buy scratch off tickets till you make it big

[lucid adder]

BRO i wish i had fiber near me

i just have 500mb/s max

[severe gate]

I got 100 down 15 up for 29.99

[lucid adder]

i get 500 down 100 up (i only get like 60 up) for 70$

[severe gate]

Oof

[lucid adder]

i got a like 12 year old router tho

[severe gate]

It's 30 more for 300 down and 80 for a gig

[lucid adder]

im gonna upgrade soon

[severe gate]

Can it accommodate the full 500

[lucid adder]

yeah its up to 1gbs waht i have now

the problem is the ping because its so old

[severe gate]

Do u really notice performance issues

[chrome vector]

How do you think the 3090ti owners feel?

[lucid adder]

lmao

[lucid adder]

mostly just ping but yes

i tried out a ROG axe11000 Wifi 6 and got SIGNIFICANTLY better ping

[chrome vector]

The 3090ti was MSRP at $2000, then the 4090 came out extremely soon after with a cheaper MSRP and far more powerful

I own a 3090ti but I got it for $1000 brand new luckily

[lucid adder]

2 grand is crazy

[severe gate]

I never notice ping unless I'm on an Aussie server

[chrome vector]

and its EVGA, and that's the main reason I bought it before the 4000 series came out. It's was the last call for an EVGA card

[lucid adder]

i notice playing ping definite games like fortnite and r6 etc

[chrome vector]

I know right

[severe gate]

Oh yeah I had hot pocket coupons for 50 cents off

[lucid adder]

any guesses on 5090 retail

[vapid smelt]

for $150 i can get symmetrical 10gb

[lucid adder]

fiber?

[vapid smelt]

ofc

[lucid adder]

i dont have fiber where i live rn

[severe gate]

What are you going to do with 10 gb symmetrical

[chrome vector]

Unless NVIDIA does anything to curb the AI use of the card, probably around $1000-$1500 but going to be scalped by them and retailers. MSRP is now a joke on high end cards. Nvidia encourages and participates in the scalping at this point.

[grim belfry]

[chrome vector]

If we are lucky maybe the 4000 series will drop in price

[severe gate]

Lol

[lucid adder]

im going to try to get a 5090 on retail

[vapid smelt]

watch 4k netflix on 200 tvs

[lucid adder]

yes

[chrome vector]

If you live in the US your best bet is Microcenter. I live in between two of them. Sounds great, right? Well it would be, if they weren't a 2 1/2 to 3 hour drive away from either of them, one way.

But maybe something like Best Buy if you are lucky

[lucid adder]

same here i live 2h from one and 3h from another

[chrome vector]

It's all going to depend on the price

[lucid adder]

like go first day release? or should i go online?

[chrome vector]

Michigan?

[lucid adder]

arizona

or i might be mistaken but i think thats arohnd

how far

[chrome vector]

Damn. I'm in Michigan, the ones near me are in Detroit and Chicago. I wish they would open one closer, I would never buy PC parts online again

[lucid adder]

whats wrong with online?

[chrome vector]

Nothing really, just Microcenter is generally the best on pricing unless you are buying used.

[lucid adder]

mmm

[chrome vector]

Microcenter is great

Microcenter sells some stuff online, but the vast majority of what they sell is in store only
