[dawn fog]

hi, where do i get help with "undervolting" on throttlestop?

[languid flower]

For 150 bucks? (I'm a budget gamer)

[full fossil]

https://www.youtube.com/@der8auer-en

[scarlet relic]

if i can get it repaired i can hopefully get the card flashed and then get it working on Windows XP

[full fossil]

then 5600 all the way

[languid flower]

Hopefully

[languid flower]

Ty man

[scarlet relic]

which also means i can install PS2, PSP and PS3 SDKs

[dawn fog]

wut?

[languid flower]

The problem is I have 8 cores and I don't want a downgrade to taht

There was one but I cant remember

[scarlet relic]

im happy enough with my 3900x

[severe gate]

I want a quantum computer

[languid flower]

I will search

[full fossil]

wrong link lmfao

[mint yacht]

What do you have rn

[manic torrent]

Except that ... What cores are they

[safe mesa]

guys does anyoine know where i can downlolad 3ds rom pokemon games for citra? normal downlaod time is saying 7 hours

[full fossil]

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-undervolt-gpu/

[languid flower]

5500

[full fossil]

thats a 6 core

[languid flower]

True

[fair sage]

while my 3900x serves me well too, it's days as my main system CPU are numbered. How many days i don't know yet, waiting for 9950x to be launched in my country 😄

[manic torrent]

I have no real reason to upgrade from my 5700x tbh.

[full fossil]

i got a 7800x3d from micro centre and sold my 7600x only cost me $110 to upgrade lol

[safe mesa]

do you use it as a work station or enthusiast?

[fair sage]

software development

[fair sage]

while i could get a 5000 series CPU, it just doesn't feel right

[severe gate]

Why

[fair sage]

also there is a pair of 1080 Ti's waiting for this 3900X. well, one of them at least will be paired with the 3900X

[safe mesa]

nice

[fair sage]

5800X3D is 250 euros, 5950x is like 350 euros, and i don't feel like buying anything lower. and 250 euros is way too much for me

[safe mesa]

im just starting to learn python

[fair sage]

i mean buying a 4? year old tech for 250 euros, meh

[severe gate]

U have a 3900x right it wouldn't be that big of an upgrade

[fair sage]

yes, 3900X->5800X3D and 5950X aren't big enough upgrades for the price and the fact that we talk about CPU cores from 2020 (i don't care that X3D came later, the cores are from 2020)

so i just get new platform for main PC, and relegate the 3900X + X570 + 64GB RAM to some minor duties

just like the 2950X + 128GB RAM is my server now

[severe gate]

Wtf did u use 128 gb of ram for

[manic torrent]

My issue is I game at 4k, and I got 3600cl14 ram, so a cpu upgrade nets me very little increase in game performance

[severe gate]

Why would u upgrade from 2950x to 3900x

[fair sage]

it is a VM server

[severe gate]

Ok

[fair sage]

i upgraded to 5950x. but it had to be RMAd, got a refund, used 3900x from another system

also 2950x is around the performance of 5800X, which is kinda sad, but also shows how much the IPC have gone up from Zen+ to Zen 2

well IPC and clock both

[scarlet flame]

My SSD survived my psu exploding yay my new psu comes earliest tmr so it's the true test if it protected my hard drive or not

[severe gate]

Chat died

[full fossil]

any one see that new game coming if july 7

the first descendant trailer

[pallid falcon]

Anyone else have the feeling of feeling like you always need to work and can't just relax to like enjoy a single player game you been wanting to play for awhile

[echo valve]

the ps5 just went on sale for 600 aud and i currently have a PC with r5 5600 and rx 6600, and i keep getting a new issue every month. atm i need to spend 300$ for a new cpu cooler nvme and ram for it to work well. i also want something that works, i have had enough of the reddit forums should i sell the pc for a ps5

[full fossil]

Ok we better stop

[full fossil]

Yeah, probably

[languid ivy]

Diagonal even

[full fossil]

A fellow 5600 user

[echo valve]

yes

[gilded quest]

I'm bored if I haven't been at work for 2-3 days

[full fossil]

Yeah, I got a 5600, 2080 Super, 16 GBs DDR4 Ram, 1TB SSD and yeah. It seems to work pretty well. Probably more powerful than any consoles currently but I could be wrong, I don't know

[echo valve]

i got the same thing but 500gb ssd and rx 6600 and i'm getting issues like fps drops and stuff i'm considering switching to ps5

[full fossil]

Do you have a lot of tabs open that take up resources, are you capping your FPS in games and you making sure to keep your GPU drivers up to date

[echo valve]

i got legit nothing open other than discord 😭 and the clients, my drivers are up to date

[full fossil]

I've heard Discord can take a lot of resources, like if you have 16 GBs of ram either have your browser open or just Discord from what I know. You didn't answer, you capping your FPS in games

[echo valve]

i only have discord open, no browser or tabs

i'm not capping my fps in games monitor using free sync as well

[full fossil]

Honestly, I feel like a lot of people have just become addicted to working. It seems like the only thing some people do

[manic torrent]

Get a hobby

[full fossil]

Might be your problem, cap your fps to like near your refresh rate specially if your on a budget build. Your making your GPU do extra work it doesn't need to do, like I have 144 hz monitor and I cap my FPS at 141 on comp games. Then like if I'm playing something like Cyberpunk where I want it to look good, I just cap my FPS at 60 man

[manic torrent]

I could not work again ever and still have lots to do

[echo valve]

sounds good, will try that

[full fossil]

Wow, like a year ago I didn't know anything about PCs asking clueless questions in this Discord and here I I'm giving the tech advice now since I do know about PCs well enough now

[manic torrent]

That's how it goes 🙂

[full fossil]

Your name is HardwareBob, I feel like you know better than me. Do you approve of my advice?

[full fossil]

This is me when giving tech advice for real

[manic torrent]

I mean there's more to it, but it's certainly appropriate and not a bad place to start

[full fossil]

Thanks

[manic torrent]

I mean, by coincidence I do know many things, but the irony is I chose my name 30 years ago 😄

[full fossil]

I feel more ease, but the concept of relaxing is still hard to grasp still. Maybe I'll just do it anyway and hope for the best

[gilded quest]

I get bored with them

Work is always different

[manic torrent]

.... I mean, one of my hobby projects is building a PC crane.

That has been a journey! I have learned lots of things about crane design, sourcing parts, tradeoffs on sound and weight and speed and power

[grim belfry]

php imap and google can burn in hell istg

[manic torrent]

Another project I did was a custom designed dash cluster for my car. I needed to work out how to use a vector drawing program and how to make gauges in it. Then I had to work out how to print and assemble it and then I had to do all the Arduino coding and wiring etc

[manic torrent]

That's an odd grouping

[grim belfry]

Which makes it annoying because nobody has posted a fix for this problem online :(

[indigo trellis]

Yall

Should I trade my quest 3 for a steam deck 1tb lcd

[grim belfry]

If you want

[indigo trellis]

Is a steam deck lcd good

Cause Im not using the quest 3 at all and I'm willing to do it

[full fossil]

Do you want to play portable VR games or portable PC games more

Do you travel a lot

[indigo trellis]

But I heard complaints about battery life and performance

[indigo trellis]

Pc ofc that's why I'm selling it but I'm considering trading it

[full fossil]

Steam deck wouldn't be a bad choice, you could use it almost anywhere. If you are worried about battery life, you can always bring a portable battery charger with you as a back up if you can't charge it. On the performance part, if no one can help you on that here I would do research on it

[indigo trellis]

People keep telling me a rog ally or a Lenovo legion go is better

But the price diff is insane

And I'm not a big fan of nintendo

Steam deck seems the way to go but idk

[full fossil]

I'm not a expert, don't except people to give you the right answer. My personal experience on something like that is that I have done my research on things and learned what works for me

[manic torrent]

They are "better" but... But are they better to use

[indigo trellis]

Yeah I suppose

[indigo trellis]

That's the thing I have no idea

I never held a hand held other than a psp vita

[manic torrent]

Tldr no

[full fossil]

I just enjoy my desk top gaming

I sold my Xbox and VR just to invest money into it

[indigo trellis]

But being stuck to just steam is kind of eh like my only concern is what if I want to play games that are only on ubisoft connect for an example

[manic torrent]

I can play my desktop games on my phone 🙂

[indigo trellis]

I have a rx6800xt and an i5 12400 i think it's good enough

[full fossil]

Are you okay

[indigo trellis]

That's dope ngl

[manic torrent]

Never

[grim belfry]

That camera stabilisation is very impressive lol

[full fossil]

Okay

[strange elk]

ROG kinda just fuck off for a while.

The only couple handhelds I saw worth looking at are the Zotac and Steamdeck.

A bit biased towards the latter though.

But if you are OK learning new shit and it being maybe a little jank, I didn't mess around with it too much, Sunshine/Moonlight allow you to stream any game

[harsh quartz]

The rog ally is a fine device, if you wanna deal with asus

[manic torrent]

That's what I'm doing in the video above

[strange elk]

Asus is the problem lol. Also its just weird, it doesn't make sense to me

Like your flagship feature is.. A mouse sensor on the bottom of a joycon?

Wait no

That's the other one. Wish Lenovo stayed in their lane. The Rift S sucked.

[cyan pine]

is the AW3225QF worth the 300$ price increase over the AW3423DWF for somebody who is upgrading from a 34'' 2560x1080 60hz lcd panel

what would i do with a r5-8400?

Have you tested it

[idle nymph]

they have better performance, though id still take the deck oled

[severe gate]

Switch > steam deck

[turbid oriole]

how can a game look this good? 😭

And yes I use ultrawide, feel free to bully me for it

[severe gate]

No

[silk island]

cool pfp!!! c:

[idle nymph]

nah

[turbid oriole]

In what world

You can only run switch games on nintendo’s hardware(barely, btw) and the deck can do both (via questionable legal loopholes)

[spice pine]

in literally no way

lmfao

[severe gate]

But zelda

[dull violet]

whee can i find a windows 7 iso

[scarlet relic]

i will continue to use my PC for however long i can

[grim belfry]

https://archive.org/details/Windows7-iso

[fair sage]

but why

[spice pine]

I know that the internet archive has some kind of DCMA exemption status, but I wonder if stuff like this is "legal"

[fair sage]

even MS lets you download Windows 10 and 11 ISOs

[grim belfry]

Yes

[fair sage]

ISO doesn't contain the license, which is what you buy

[spice pine]

Well, yes, I know that

I wasn't really asking about the 7 iso specifically, more as like a general question

[severe gate]

I wonder if my switch can run 7

[grim belfry]

The iso is not illegal to download. Windows iso's are free. It costs money to activate them legally

[fair sage]

Nintendo Switch is NVIDIA ARM CPU, so no

unless you meant a network switch, then maybe

[dull violet]

does anybody else find the snes controller very comfortable to use

[spice pine]

Well, that's where I was curious. I dunno what Microsoft says about redistributing their software, even if it's free - most companies are kinda strict about that kind of thing

[patent patrol]

What is a good cheap chair for long siting ( something that the back of it could move up to about 160 degrees or more)

[spice pine]

considering it was the basis of practically every modern controller, i'd imagine most people find it comfortable to use lol

[grim belfry]

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/downloading-iso-files-from-third-party-websites/855de4e7-5cf0-4b3c-abb3-1e6bbe284f44
Seems to be a bit of a grey area

[patent patrol]

I found some chair on ali but I donno if it's safe to order it from ali

[fair sage]

i wouldn't order big or expensive items from aliexpress due shipping and repair/refund issues you could have to deal with

[spice pine]

Yeah, I know things like this tend to be.

[grim belfry]

I'd say the legality comes into question if the software is activated with an illegitimate license or not

[patent patrol]

So any chair recommendations ?

[fair sage]

hell, technically they probably don't even check if PC is actually activated. They go to business, ask for number of computers running Windows & Office, they check how many licenses you bought, if the number matches or the number of used licenses is lower than bought, you are fine. I mean when we talk about licensing checks (which they do only when someone reports you to BSA etc).

[patent patrol]

Are some corsair chairs good?

[vapid smelt]

https://www.btod.com/blog/amazons-finest-chair-picks-300/

Ended up grabbing andaseat fnatic on special offer, is good considering the prices of the known brands

Yeaa so I kinda live in israel and none of the chairs are shipping here

At least from the ones they mentioned

[severe gate]

What part of Israel

[patent patrol]

South

Why

[severe gate]

Just asking

[patent patrol]

No shipping to me

Today I saw a business using Apple airport expresses to create a mesh network of dumb APs and it’s ridiculous

[grim belfry]

Better than an ISP modem/router/ap

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, but one of them started acting like a router instead of a dumb AP, kept throwing out bad DHCP addresses and took me 2 hours to find the fucker cause I thought they were just APs

Took down half their stuff with bad IPs by the time I found it

[grim belfry]

I bet it was one of the 4 Rs of avoidance. Restaurants, Real Estate, Retail, and Residential.

Did I guess correctly?

[harsh quartz]

No it was a church

The 5th R, religion

I don't watch all of the wan show I wait till somebody posts time stamps then watch what I pick

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but you don’t have to watch wan show to get the joke

[warm dust]

#tech-chat-2 don't make us ask you what the problem is

[ancient stone]

Luke Skywalker would lose to count dooku

No contest

[spice pine]

peak luke? no way lmfao

[ancient stone]

Peak Luke could barely handle Vader

Wdym

Darth Vader in his prime is when he was Anakin Skywalker lol

[spice pine]

that's not true at all? what?

[ancient stone]

Literally lost most of the range of movement in favor of power and force mastery

[sour tide]

Someone is helping him rn

[ancient stone]

Anakin went from most skilled Jedi to mediocre sith Lord

[sour tide]

w

[wide cedar]

test

[ancient stone]

Unless you are referring to the comics

And not Disney Canon

Then in that case peak Luke is stronger than peak Anakin

[harsh quartz]

Tbf, anakin was a stronger Jedi then sith, but he was also a very strong Sith Lord

[ancient stone]

He was stronger in force abilities than saber combat as a sith

Which is ironic because he is mostly metal

[spice pine]

listen i'm not deep in the trenches in star wars lore; but i was under the impression that Vader was one of the most powerful force users of all time

[ancient stone]

💀

Darth sidious was

He is actually stronger than the ancient sith

Darth Cheese when

[spice pine]

didn't dooku lose to yoda though?

[harsh quartz]

Still stronger as anakin, there was that whole thing about the force planet and the good and the evil kid and whatnot

[ancient stone]

Not really sure

He was killed by Anakin

[spice pine]

either way, meh

[harsh quartz]

(Star Wars is mid)

[spice pine]

real

[harsh quartz]

The clone wars was one of the few Star Wars things that I enjoyed

[spice pine]

star wars has always been mid

[ancient stone]

The strongest sith is actually jar jar binks

[harsh quartz]

The clone wars was one of those weirdly awesome Cartoon Network shows that had no right to be as good as it was. It just so happened to be based on Star Wars

[ancient stone]

Revenge of the sith is peak Star wars

[ancient stone]

I still never watched it

[harsh quartz]

Probably too young

[ancient stone]

I didn't know it was canon until recently

Im 23 lol

[harsh quartz]

Too young

[spice pine]

"The Clone Wars" or just "Clone Wars"

big difference there

[ancient stone]

I grew up with it playing on cartoon Network

I even saw that abomination of a movie in theaters

🤢

[spice pine]

this was a banger

[ancient stone]

🤢🤢🤢

[harsh quartz]

The clone wars

[spice pine]

not a fan of The Clone Wars tbh

[ancient stone]

Is clone wars even canon

Ik the clone wars is

[harsh quartz]

It doesn’t matter

[ancient stone]

It do to me

[harsh quartz]

Also rogue one is my favorite Star Wars movie so what do it know :p

[ancient stone]

Starkiller not being canon is abysmal

[harsh quartz]

I prefer Star Trek anyways. Q was the best Sith Lord

[spice pine]

nobody hates star wars like star wars fans

[summer folio]

I prefered the other Cartoon Network shows, like Johnny Bravo or Dexters laboratory

[ancient stone]

I hate Disney Star wars except mandalorian and book of boba feet

The rest feels tone deaf

And or rushed

[harsh quartz]

These shows were boring as fuck, Ngl

[spice pine]

the book of boba fett sucked, idk what to tell you

[summer folio]

Always turned off Cartoon Network when sw was on, because the worst show of them all was Star wars Clone wars

[ancient stone]

I enjoyed it as entertainment but it was mediocre at best

[spice pine]

you're entitled to your bad opinions 🤷‍♀️

[ancient stone]

The writing is not great

But it's better than the sequel trilogy

[summer folio]

+it's star wars, not even the superior show:
StarGate SG1

[ancient stone]

They made kylo ren such a whiny bitch

[harsh quartz]

My favorite era of Cartoon Network was the really just “we don’t give a shit” era, of flapjack, chowder, that kind of stuff

[spice pine]

making kylo ren like that was actually fantastic commentary

[ancient stone]

Those shows feel like a fever dream

[harsh quartz]

Oh yeah the space nazis?

[ancient stone]

Lmfao

Iirc the original empire was based off nazis

[spice pine]

"i idolized the worst guy to ever exist and now i'm a whiny loser" is just. peak.

[severe gate]

Huh

[harsh quartz]

No, the original empire was the United States, modern empire is nazis

Kylo Ren was such a a badass in the comics

can you believe it's been more than 20 years

[summer folio]

Oh, u must be gen Z then?

What a Cartoon! 1995-1997 was the do whatever you like era creators on CN.

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, and I can go back and watch it but it ain’t the same 😦

[vapid smelt]

You forgot to add , awful person

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but early 2000s was just entirely unhinged “children’s” shows

[severe gate]

I like his free speech policy

[vapid smelt]

Stfu it's only been like 8 wdym 👴

[harsh quartz]

The one where everyone’s free except he bans the ones he doesn’t agree with?

[severe gate]

Agreed

[spice pine]

you must have it confused with the one where he auto-blocked apple on all X accounts becaues they went with openAI

[severe gate]

Are u even 20

[spice pine]

None of your business

[harsh quartz]

Why not both?

[vapid smelt]

Like banning the college kid that tracked his jets using publicly available information

[harsh quartz]

And he swore he wouldn’t and encouraged it

[severe gate]

Really?

[spice pine]

but then "it's a safety risk to my kids" or something

[harsh quartz]

Or my favorite one was where they took the X handle from the photographer without even asking

[vapid smelt]

https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/14/23509817/twitter-elonjets-ban-creator-jack-sweeney-links-trackers

[harsh quartz]

Bruh that was 2022???

[vapid smelt]

And xmusic right?

[long briar]

tbh he kinda asked for it

both parties

When you use the platform, you're subject to that platform's rules whether you like it or not

[severe gate]

I need more rum beb

[harsh quartz]

But Elon said it wasn’t against the rules, and said he wasn’t going to ban them, then did it less than a week later

[spice pine]

the issue is, he doesn't enforce the rules equally in any capacity and it's very much a "what i say goes even if i contradict myself" platform now

[long briar]

Freedom of speech means they can't prosecute you for speaking, but they sure can kick you off their platform if they do so desire

[harsh quartz]

But the problem is he said he wasn’t going to

[long briar]

yea idk I don't have a side in this everyone is garbage

[spice pine]

i’m just glad it’s gonna be pulled from the ios app store soon

[long briar]

I'm not

[harsh quartz]

Magically Apple will be unblocked

[median idol]

Nice to know that X/Twatter is still a shit hole even under a new regime

[spice pine]

considering it’s openly allowing “adult content” now, it won’t survive

granted a vast majority of the platform left is bots anyways

[long briar]

It will survive, thrive even

[harsh quartz]

“We can’t fix the bot problem, so we’ll stop calling it a problem”

[severe gate]

I'm not on x

[long briar]

the adult content is... what drives a large part of the internet unfortunately

[spice pine]

i wouldn’t call what it’s doing now “thriving”

[long briar]

and twitter wanted a piece of that pie

[severe gate]

Discord is the only social media I use

[median idol]

Same

[harsh quartz]

Okay so what drove twitter before? Cause clearly it was working without it

[spice pine]

considering most advertisers have jumped ship and a large swath of users are leaving, it’s dying lmao

[long briar]

Twitter has always been kinda bruh though

[severe gate]

Bruh

[long briar]

it's dying the same way Reddit did

[harsh quartz]

The fuck does that even mean or have to do with anything

[long briar]

It was barely functional

[spice pine]

tbh i don’t really use reddit so i wouldn’t know

[harsh quartz]

It wasn’t

It wasn’t in amazing shape but it was surviving

[long briar]

yea that's what I meant, its never been "great"

[harsh quartz]

Now it’s not even surviving

[long briar]

it never peaked like facebook or myspace

[severe gate]

Twitter was always shit

[spice pine]

yeah but now it’s shit and run by an even shittier person

[long briar]

yea so it went from barely functional to not functional

[spice pine]

so, woo

[long briar]

honestly none of it matters to me, I don't use it

[harsh quartz]

It went from stable, to rapidly declining.

[severe gate]

So Elon musk has his issues who doesnt

[spice pine]

lmao

[sly hazel]

Hey everyone

[long briar]

it took 11 years to have a single profitable quarter

[median idol]

I deleted my Twitter way before Elon took over

Haven't looked back since

[long briar]

it wasn't stable.

[spice pine]

i pledged to delete mine if the deal was finalized, and i’ve been gone since it did

[severe gate]

To continue my comment from yesterday we need to destroy social media for good

[long briar]

I have nothing on my twitter account so I didn't bother deleting it

[long briar]

no we really don't

[spice pine]

champ, you sent this on discord

[severe gate]

Yes

[long briar]

we need a better schooling system

[median idol]

YouTube has even become a cesspool (or well even more so now)

[spice pine]

not saying you’re not right but it’s a bit hypocritical to advocate for the destruction of social media… on social media

[long briar]

and by not using social media he highlights the importance of social media

[severe gate]

Not really

[spice pine]

maybe not hypocritical. what’s the word.

[harsh quartz]

Elon musk is a child with billions of dollar

[vapid smelt]

We all blame specific websites but it's the whole Internet

[long briar]

it really isn't

Wikipedia ❤️

[severe gate]

Contradictory?

Still not really

[long briar]

yes really

[severe gate]

No

[harsh quartz]

Dumb is the word your looking for

[spice pine]

i try to avoid calling public-chat exactly what it is

[long briar]

You're using social media to spread awareness of the downsides of social media, without social media you wouldn't be able to spread awareness the same way if you have it

[severe gate]

It's dumb to call an end to social media on social media?

[long briar]

yes?

[severe gate]

No

[harsh quartz]

Na we someone attached to daddy musk imma call the conversation what it is

[spice pine]

meh, i’m out. this whole conversation sucks

[harsh quartz]

Kek

[median idol]

The word I'm thinking of would probably get me Warshipped

[severe gate]

Do u like apple followers or Elon followers more

[long briar]

we need more regulations on social media use in children, not neccesarily a ban on social media itself.

[winged spire]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[severe gate]

It's got stars

[long briar]

like remember that Tiktok CEO court hearing? About letting an 8 year old use TikTok?
Nobody asked why an 8 year old has a phone

[harsh quartz]

Not really our place to ask

[long briar]

It absolutely is our place to ask

[harsh quartz]

Eh

[lyric sphinx]

lets just get rid of 8 year olds

[long briar]

should children have phones?

[harsh quartz]

Depends on the situation

[lyric sphinx]

should children be allowed

[winged spire]

Depends

[long briar]

When should a child have anything more than a flip phone

[winged spire]

There should be a kids section

[severe gate]

Aren't apps controlled by parent controls?

[winged spire]

Similar to YouTube kids, except no spiderman getting Elsa pregnant

[harsh quartz]

First you never specified the type of phone

[long briar]

most parents don't bother

[lyric sphinx]

I would watch that

[winged spire]

Go on YouTube kids bro

[severe gate]

That's their fault then

[harsh quartz]

Shrek is love?

[long briar]

which is why I specified now, but arguing semantics when you know full well what I mean is stpid

[winged spire]

That shit is only thought up after 40 nights and 40 days of acid tripping

The YouTube kids app if moderation was good

[harsh quartz]

Sorry I can’t read your mind my guy

[long briar]

Exactly, it's the parents fault - how the children learn. Not because social media itself is bad

[severe gate]

No social media is bad people make it bad

[lyric sphinx]

what if we just put children in underground vaults

[median idol]

Gen Alpha looks to be a lost cause at this point

[long briar]

use punctuation... you can take that sentence both ways

[lyric sphinx]

just like a

[long briar]

No, social media is bad. People make it bad.
No social media is bad, people make it bad.

[harsh quartz]

Just like a coffee, with or without sugar

[lyric sphinx]

I miss myspace

[severe gate]

Listen here pal

[harsh quartz]

Fuckin boomer

[long briar]

you went from 8 to 80 in 5 seconds that's insane

[lyric sphinx]

I love how millenials are boomers now

that makes me happy

does that make boomers teh greatest generation

[long briar]

It is

[harsh quartz]

Miss club penguin like the rest of us

[lyric sphinx]

i miss bunnyhopping on counterstrike

[severe gate]

Grammar Nazis up in this bitch

[long briar]

????

[lyric sphinx]

¿

[severe gate]

Man I so prefer rum over beer

[long briar]

Asking you to make you sentence make sense is grammar nazis? Your sentence can literally be interpreted as both supporting and against your argument and I have no clue which one you're trying say

[lyric sphinx]

Rum is for late nights

Beer is for marathon drinking

[long briar]

So there's this guy right here going from 8 to 80 to 14 to... 60?

[median idol]

Remember when the Internet wasn't so centralised? Pepperidge Farm remembers

[long briar]

but his pfp makes him 4

[severe gate]

Then ask

[lyric sphinx]

remember when you had to know things

[long briar]

I asked you to use punctuation so that I can understand you

[severe gate]

No

[long briar]

welcome to the internet, you can.

What is flavored moonshine for?

[lyric sphinx]

blacking out

[severe gate]

Some don't care I can't tell which u r

[severe gate]

Ask next time

[long briar]

Flamespitter?

[harsh quartz]

But… strawberry cheesecake

[lyric sphinx]

so much sugar

[harsh quartz]

Banana pudding

[long briar]

You're the culmination of 8 generations and you act like all 8 of them

[severe gate]

Banana pudding good

[lyric sphinx]

with some nilla wafers

[keen gorge]

Did a battery mod to my RoG Ally and doubled the on battery time

[severe gate]

U don't know 8 generations and it's branches of my family so u lie

[severe gate]

Polar u dealing in moonshine?

[keen gorge]

Did a mod to my Rog Ally, added a 90wah battery and printed a back cover in PLA-CF to contain it all.

[harsh quartz]

No im just being a bad influence

[severe gate]

Did u have issues like gamers nexus did

[keen gorge]

I bought this ally for $160 on offer up because it was dead, when I did the RMA Asus was actually helpful to me and replace the board with a new one and the screen for whatever reason.

[severe gate]

Cool

[keen gorge]

GN released his video like a week later after that and it interested it was kinda shocking to see

I got lucky

[severe gate]

What let the og owner from rmaing it

[keen gorge]

When I got it from them they didn't really treat it well and it was falling apart

They didn't really know or seem to care

[severe gate]

Ok so they didn't care

Ok

[keen gorge]

That's what it looked like when I picked it up

[severe gate]

What's the apu in a rog ally equal to in terms of desktop gpus

[keen gorge]

Maybe I got lucky cause unlike GN my backpanel had a crack which isn't a small nick lol

[keen gorge]

Not sure, it plays everything I've thrown at it pretty well

[severe gate]

Does it fit standard steam deck docks

[keen gorge]

Not anymore since I added the extended back plate

[severe gate]

Ok

[keen gorge]

It's it's own stand now at least which is cool

[turbid coral]

damn that's actually such a good idea

kickstand is more compact but this would be good if you put it upright a lot anyway

[keen gorge]

Yeah it's nice having it now

[severe gate]

I'll keep my switch I've seen the steam deck having too many issues

[harsh quartz]

Is this safe on the thermal side?

[keen gorge]

Yeah shouldn't case any problems

[harsh quartz]

whole thing melts

[reef reef]

what?

[turbid warren]

What

Oh well

[reef reef]

rollback?

or am i tripping lol

[turbid warren]

Anways I recommended using an endoscope and a webcam for soldering, it’s what i do but if more professional electronics repair people have input it would be better

[turbid warren]

Yeah im pretty sure thats what happened

[atomic osprey]

Hey guys, I need some feedback on something I created, if you are interested, can I send you a video in DMs?

[harsh quartz]

Chat got nuked

[reef reef]

also, i got about 10+ unused vapes with chargeable batteries

is there anything cool i can build with them?

feels like a waste tossing all those unused batteries

[steady hinge]

The ultra vape

[turbid warren]

Spot weld em with a car battery and you can supercharge your powerwheels car!

[fallen rover]

Does anyone remember in which video they tested this weird coprocessor they didn't find much use for apart for some specific type of video editing? It was super expensive

[reef reef]

there was this sale where buying a device and juice added up to 3 dollars compared to just buying juice at 10. I took advantage of that

[harsh quartz]

Lung cancer 🙂

[reef reef]

so i have a lot of unused devices with batteries

[reef reef]

i know man but honestly, should i save these batteries?

[turbid warren]

There’s definitely uses

Just have to think of what

[fresh sorrel]

Easiest would probably just be a portable battery

[reef reef]

like to recharge a cellphone?

[fresh sorrel]

But you’d need to be really careful, a lot of precautions working with batteries like those, especially wiring them together

Yeah, or big enough for like a laptop and stuff

[wispy marsh]

Thank you, it's from picrew

[silk island]

well its very cute :D

[gritty pier]

[viscid mason]

sup

im watching the WAN show rn lol

[reef reef]

wtf? lol. But honeslty what is NFT?

all i know is that theyre "unique" models but idk what theyre used for

is it basically a copyrighted image?

or model

[woven wharf]

hi

[polar fern]

Imagine putting money into a box and the box gives you something that cannot be exchanged for money

[misty robin]

Anyone familiar with a GIGABYTE B760M Mobo?

[polar fern]

And you put the money in the box thinking that somehow the thing that the box gives you is going to increase in value over the amount of money you put in the box

[reef reef]

im using the gigabyte B760M C

[misty robin]

Do you know how to get the VGA Debug light to go away? I've been at it for too many hours for me to wanna admit and it just refuses to go away

[woven wharf]

anyone here knows the equivalent of a 3060 laptop to a desktop gpu?

[misty robin]

2060

[reef reef]

so its a new build and going for first boot?

[misty robin]

Yeah-

[reef reef]

what cpu are you using

[misty robin]

I got a i3-12100F so integrated graphics aren't an option-

[woven wharf]

hmm
2060 for 1440p gamin
didnt think that through did i

[reef reef]

whats your graphics card?

[misty robin]

And whenever I go to boot with the RX 580 (ik it's a horrible combo, gonna upgrade whenever I can) it doesn't display anything

[misty robin]

xD

[misty robin]

RX 580

[reef reef]

and your hdmi is plugged into the card and not the motherboard? your cpu doe not have intergrated graphics

[misty robin]

Tried both HDMI and DP

And yeah on the GPU

[reef reef]

only way to see is by using another working card on your new build

[misty robin]

I also tried my old graphics card (Radeon HD 6770) and it still didn't work

[reef reef]

oh, i see

[misty robin]

Yeah-

The GPU(s) and my PSU worked just fine with my old system

[reef reef]

is it always the same light for both? vga?

[misty robin]

Yup

[reef reef]

i had the same problem but with me every boot had a random light light up

[misty robin]

It cycles through the CPU, RAM, then stops on VGA

[reef reef]

yeah same

[reef reef]

so the light cycles?

[misty robin]

Yeah

Sometimes it would take a few seconds on the RAM, then it would go away, but I let it sit on VGA for a few minutes and still nothing.

[reef reef]

have you tried another psu?

[drifting yacht]

basically a way to own an image on the web, you pay for ownership on the blockchain. however, its not possible to stop it from being screenshotted or saved. it had hype around it and people were buying them and then people where selling them for a lot of money but now it's died down. nft's weren't useful anyways in my opinion.

[misty robin]

I don't have another PSU, and it worked on my last system before switching over

[reef reef]

i thought they could be used in video games that were partnered with them

so that they can play that model in any game that supports them, that wouldve been cool

[misty robin]

Also my keyboard would light up as well

[drifting yacht]

some video games added them, people tried making web3 and nft games.

heres the thing; the idea could be cool to be able to claim ownership of your own art sort of thing but then again it could probs be done with hashes.

[zenith horizon]

Is an i5 10400 + RTX 3050 6GB sufficient to play games like Minecraft, Valorant, Warthunder, and Nintendo games emulation at 1080p 60fps?

[reef reef]

okay, if you use that psu on your old system does it still work? i would try that. If so does it have enough watts for all your components?

[reef reef]

fortnite wouldve been the only game needed honestly

[misty robin]

It's a 500W PSU

With my GPU and CPU, they only pull about 2-300

[reef reef]

have you gone back and tried it on your old set up again?

[misty robin]

Let me try it rq

[plain crater]

):

[zenith horizon]

Is an i5 10400 + RTX 3050 6GB sufficient to play games like Minecraft, Valorant, Warthunder, and Nintendo games emulation at 1080p 60fps?
I have a Lenovo prebuilt PC (link to pc: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lenovo-IdeaCentre-5-Desktop-Computer-Intel-Core-i5-10th-Gen-i5-10400-12GB-RAM-DDR4-SDRAM-1TB-HDD-256-GB-SSD-Mineral-Gray/781267728) and need a GPU that doesn't require external power. I know this GPU and my system aren't great, but I am only trying to achieve 1080p 60fps in said games and don't plan to play high demanding games either.

[olive stream]

External power to the GPU?

[zenith horizon]

Yes

[olive stream]

What do you mean

[zenith horizon]

My GPU doesn't have any PCIe power connectors so I need a GPU that only runs off of slot power

[reef reef]

also, check the REV and get the exact model of motherboard to me because mine id ddr5 and there is other that are ddr4

[woven wharf]

1080p 60fps in minecraft is a low bar
so the 3050 should be more than sufficient

[olive stream]

Low bar 😔

[zenith horizon]

What about the other games like Valorant, and Warthunder?

[misty robin]

Booted right up with no issues

[woven wharf]

10 chunks :D

[misty robin]

Mine is DDR4

[reef reef]

okay give me rev number and exact model, pic of box would hlp

[woven wharf]

war thunder will run at 60 if u run at super low res but you'll get flamed in their subreddit if u want to post anything

but 3050 should run it at more than 60fps in med settings

[olive stream]

My pc struggles with fps in Minecraft. It’s Minecraft’s fault though

[woven wharf]

how so

[olive stream]

Something about how the game is made makes it buggy with my pc

[woven wharf]

uhh linux?

[olive stream]

Windows

[woven wharf]

hmm

[olive stream]

Nothing that can be fixed I believe

[drifting yacht]

not even optifine or the other alternatives?

[olive stream]

Doesn’t help

[woven wharf]

hmm
only minecraft?

[olive stream]

Yeah only Minecraft

[drifting yacht]

both java and bedrock?

[woven wharf]

may i know the specs?

[misty robin]

Sent it through dms

[olive stream]

Not really tested bedrock

[drifting yacht]

maybe bedrock might work

[zenith horizon]

How much better performace will I get using this GPU and paying ~$180 vs using integrated graphics on my i5 10400? I assume it would be noticably better.

[olive stream]

2080, ryzen 5 5600x, 16gb ram

[olive stream]

I prefer Java though

[woven wharf]

uhhh very big imporvement
like 10fps vs 100fps or more so around x10..?

[steady nest]

Let's go finally got unbanned from discord and joined the ltt server

[woven wharf]

spec is more than enough to run minekraft 🤔

smoothly i must say

[zenith horizon]

ahh, ok. Thank you.

[woven wharf]

is your budget for a gpu $200?

[zenith horizon]

Yes

[olive stream]

It’s buggy. I can get 800fps flying around and loading chunks but when I stand still my fps goes down to 40 and up to 200. It’s weird, I can’t explain

[woven wharf]

are u comfortable with buying from ebay as used?

[olive stream]

And I can’t run any shaders in 60fps

[zenith horizon]

Maybe, depends on what i'm buying

[woven wharf]

that is pretty weird indeed
maybe its something to do with rendering the blocks underneath u

[olive stream]

I have heard Minecraft can be buggy though. I dont know

But still 40fps with low settings

Waiting for all blocks underneath to load won’t help

[woven wharf]

i mean your fps should half from if u are up above the clouds vs on the ground
my friend has a 4070 and on the ground he gets around 1000fps but in the air its around 1500-2000fps

[olive stream]

Then I should get 400 on the ground

[zenith horizon]

What GPU would I be buying used on ebay?

[woven wharf]

checking the price on 6700xt rn

[olive stream]

But my fps goes up and down a lot. It can go between 20 and 300 in half a second

I just want to run shaders 😔

[drifting yacht]

https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2024/06/14/new-wi-fi-takeover-attack-all-windows-users-warned-to-update-now/

[olive stream]

Every other game works well though

[woven wharf]

what is your overall settings in minecraft

[olive stream]

Not sure. Render distance is like 12, clouds are turned off, and graphics are medium

Also even though my fps is 900 it still lags

Sometimes

[woven wharf]

yeah umm idk then
minecraft is usually very optimized and to drop to 20fps as 1% lows is pretty bad

[olive stream]

And fullscreen mode shows 60fps while fullscreen windows shows all the frames

[woven wharf]

6600xt might be more in your range

[zenith horizon]

Doesn'tthat card require external power from the PSU?

[olive stream]

It does

[woven wharf]

😔

then the 3050 is your best option

[zenith horizon]

ok, thanks

[woven wharf]

wait the 3050 doesnt require an external power?

[olive stream]

Not all

[zenith horizon]

Not the 6GB version

[olive stream]

I don’t know

[reef reef]

okay, so i checked intels website

[woven wharf]

oof

[olive stream]

Sli 3050

[zenith horizon]

Yeah I know, but I can't afford a better option really

[woven wharf]

gee how long ago was this when u bought it

[olive stream]

New PSU?

[zenith horizon]

Like a year ago

[misty robin]

Mhm?

[woven wharf]

may i ask why..?

[reef reef]

https://compatibleproducts.intel.com/ProductDetails?activeModule=Desktop Processors&pcsr_num=i3-12100F the gigabyte b760m is not on the supported list

[misty robin]

On the mobos website it says it is??

[olive stream]

It says 12gb ram?

[zenith horizon]

My previous PC died, and I needed a new one and this one was the best one I could find that was within my budget of ~$300 at the time.

[woven wharf]

oh
i thought u bought it for the $550 price

[olive stream]

How much ram does it have?

[zenith horizon]

It was on sale when I bought it

[zenith horizon]

12GB

[woven wharf]

could have gone with a used pc but that is fine for the price i guess

[olive stream]

8 + 4gb??

[woven wharf]

sad noises

[olive stream]

What

[woven wharf]

6x2 or x1 12 i think

[grim marten]

knife guys be like "Check out the new headphones!"

[zenith horizon]

I assume so

[reef reef]

i saw it, but the confusing part is that on top left of the list it says NA=not supported and your cpu has an NA on it but on the gpu part

[olive stream]

There exists 6 and 12gb sticks? I didn’t know

[woven wharf]

the psu is non modular i'd assume with no extra cables to install a future gpu?

[zenith horizon]

It has 2 sticks. I saw them when I took the side panel off

[zenith horizon]

Yes

[olive stream]

6gb ddr4?

[misty robin]

Yeah because it doesn't have integrated graphics

[woven wharf]

its sdram

[zenith horizon]

I don't know the size of each stick, but it's DDR4

[misty robin]

And multiple people have used the i3-12100f with this movo

[reef reef]

you can do what i did at this point because i tell you was on the same boat

[woven wharf]

yeah, yeah i think this is it

[woven wharf]

8+4

[misty robin]

What did you do?

[olive stream]

Why would a prebuilt have 8+4?

Weird

[woven wharf]

damn i cant send pic but it says 12GB RAM DDR4 SDRAM 2933MHz RAM

[olive stream]

2933Mhz?

[woven wharf]

ya

12GB DDR4 (2-DIMM) 2933MHz RAM

[reef reef]

i bought the cheapest l1700 socket cpu. Which was the G6900 from amazon. When i got it my pc booted up. At that point i did RMA on my cpu and returned the amazon cpu.

[woven wharf]

tf
why'd they put SDRAM and DIMM at the same time

[cedar pebble]

sdram

[reef reef]

or if you have another 1700 cpu on hand you can do that

[misty robin]

So you just temporarily used the cpu?

[woven wharf]

nvm sdram does come in dimms

[reef reef]

well actually before that habe you done a cmos reset?

[misty robin]

Depends on what that is 💀

[reef reef]

and i used it for one minute just to see it it booted

[misty robin]

Is it when you take out the cmos battery?

[misty robin]

Mm ok

[reef reef]

and then returned it, i also bought it used

from amazon

it did booted, then i rmad my cpu and here i am

[reef reef]

what do you mean??

also have you tried other ram? or one stick at a time?

[misty robin]

Is the CMOS reset just taking out the battery, press the power button a few times with the PSU unplugged, and putting it back in?

[west oar]

should i replace my old arctic fans with corsair ll120s? they look boring now

[misty robin]

The RAM Debug light doesn't come on tho?

[reef reef]

try booting with one stick at a time with both. Assuming youre using 2 sticks. A steo extra would be on each slot. And i know about the lights but remember the light is not really telling us exactly wahts wrong, specially if its fluctuiating

[misty robin]

Fair

[reef reef]

and not all 4 slots actually try each stick on the first 2 slots

[misty robin]

Same thing

[reef reef]

Okay, i would reseat cpu before cmos reset. Remove cpu, and then inspect for any damage on the pins or whatever theyre called

if no damage replace cpu and then do cmos reset, i had to use a scredriver as jumper for mine since my motherboard doesnt hace a button

use a light when inspecting

[misty robin]

What CMOS reset trick do you use?

[topaz ridge]

Check out the manual to find where the pins are and then short the two pins

[manic torrent]

Or just look for them

[topaz ridge]

Yeah they'll be labelled

It isn't when it isn't modular

Well my psu blowing up killed my 8tb hard drive :/

Everything else lives

fuck my neighbor causing my psu to blow up and killing my hard drive

That's like out of my budget by a lot

They decided to do some weird stuff in the condo I lived in and it caused our power to spike and destroy my router my psu my phone chargers

the guy who screwed around with the power plans to compensate apparently but like still I don't want to lose 8tb of power

The only reason the power surged is cuz of that neighbor

I was surprised when I went back to Thailand last year and learned about a girl who was coming to study at U of Saskatchewan. No offense abiut the university but did she know how nothingess Saskatchewan is compared to big city that never sleep like Bangkok???

I couldnt comprehend how someone would be paying a lot of money for international student tuition to be in the middle of nowhere and downgrade their lifestyle so drastically. For what???

[manic torrent]

people paid $250k to be crushed to death in the ocean

i have no idea what ur trying to say but you'd think having dirt-cheap labour imported from developing countries would give companies extra profit that could be used to innovate and increase productivity, but the opposite has been shown. GDP per capita has been stagnant under Trudeau.

[manic torrent]

I think you're really conflating a lot of things here

also people want different experiences and things out of life

[tawdry vessel]

i dont know what kind of "experiences and things out of life" people want in Canada. I used to live on the border but travel frequently in the US.
As soon as you cross the border into Canada, you see the difference in lifestyle and economic conditions. Our homes and businesses look poorer, more hard scrabble in appearance. People and businesses look like they are struggling and barely holding on. People are generally angry and services limited with abrupt, rude staff. Everything looks run-down. The streets and infrastructure are patched up, insufficient and deteriorated. Bums and trash everywhere

Can someone help me run a discord server? It’s about tech tips and helping people with their tech problems

I think there's more than a little bias there 🙂 it's ok, the US is also a hellhole.

Edge, gyatt, skibidi, tax collector. Long ago the four rizzlers lived together in harmony, but everything changed when the skibidis attacked. Only the sigma, master of all rizzlers could stop them, but when the world needed him the most, he fanum taxed. 100 years pass and my brother and I discovered the new Sigma, a tax collector named Ang. And although he has W rizz he still has a lot to fanum tax. But I believe Ang can save ohio.

Canada is virtually an uninhabitable wasteland with the majority of the population living within 100 miles of the US border. Where exactly are these people going to live? This whole thing stinks of genocide.

If Canada was serious about population growth, you'd think that they'd have more incentives to having children, like subsidized daycare, tax breaks, financial incentives for stay at home moms or dads, there's a million things that can be done. Replacing a native population is not one of them.

nut

[rare horizon]

The best brands are those that make the best TVs, like Samsung, LG, and Sony

But those tend to be more premium

[lilac bear]

basically those 3 yeah

[rare horizon]

Asus has had terrible warranty practices lately

Gamers Nexus has been covering it in great detail. (Edit: Here's their coverage on Asus' scam warranty with the ROG ally X: https://www.youtube.com/@GamersNexus/search?query=Asus\)

[dusty jetty]

AND EXPENSIVE

[rare horizon]

Yes thats what I meant

[dusty jetty]

oled is also kinda narlly but damn they come with a price tag omg

[rare horizon]

I wouldn't recommend OLED displays for anything but movies since they are still highly susceptible to burn in (moreso than plasma)

https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/longevity-burn-in-test-updates-and-results

[dusty jetty]

but they do have a high refreash rate

aspect ratio is also fire

contrast ratio also

[rare horizon]

OLED contrast ratio can't be beaten by any other display technology right now since it's emmisive pixels. The refresh rate and aspect ratio all vary though

[dusty jetty]

but those are facts

[dusty jetty]

point

[dusty jetty]

you really would use a mon itor like that for movies

just asking

[rare horizon]

Anyways, I recommend shopping by product rather than brand as well. Here is RTINGS's review of the best Monitor brands: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/best/brands

But here are the top* 5 gaming monitors overall: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/best/by-usage/gaming

RTINGS has display technology quality down to a science, using special calibration devices to measure and compare every aspect of every display they test.

They test for multiple use cases as well, not just gaming: They also test for different types of gaming, relative HDR performance in gaming vs media consumption, office use, media editing, brightness, responce time, SDR picture quality vs other SDR, and overall color accuracy

[dusty jetty]

wooow this is next gen

[rare horizon]

I'd say the thoroughness of their data and reviews makes RTINGS is the authoritative source when it comes to reviews for TVs, Monitors and Headphones. There are other things they review as well for premium users

[dusty jetty]

wooow you like a monitor or tv doctor

[rare horizon]

RTINGS would be that doctor, but thanks

[dusty jetty]

but do they come with a price tag tho

i still feel asus is almost cheat but still packs some power

[rare horizon]

Yeah, the best monitors tend to be more expensive, but there are sometimes great value monitors with competitive quality sold at competitive prices. This is where the budget section becomes useful https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/best/budget-gaming

(I am not sponsored by RTINGS in any way, btw. I just genuinely think they are very useful)

RTINGS also has this great table tool that allows you to specify all the things you want in your monitor and how much you want to spend, and it will give you a list of monitors fitting your parameters. I recommend setting the price setting about $100 above your actual range, though, since it goes by online listed prices of Amazon and it seems to not update very frequently at times, so it gets the actual prices of the monitors wrong sometimes) https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/table/138296

[dusty jetty]

thats kinda scary how often those it get prices wrong

out of their control

they're absurdly consistent

a little routine goes a long way, even if its just counting up one a day in a random chat that can help get you in the mindset of setting more routines

[dusty jetty]

what does 169 mean

[silver sun]

I try to be consistent, I do miss some days, cuz I am still in school and when I post the numbers it's about 8pm here

[hot tartan]

So it’s just a day counter? Does it mean anything to you?

[marble pilot]

WHY ON EARTH does YouTube Music have the like & dislike button inverted compared to YouTube?

[graceful burrow]

Classic

[deep sedge]

It's driving me crazy

There are just some UI elements that aren't the same
the search bar is a square, the user icon is slightly smaller and it's not all the way on the right and the search bar isn't centered

There's just a whole zone on the right that isn't used

[kindred tangle]

Who has permission to install apps on my samsung automatically every week? Samsung or my sim carrier. I get some random games installed like once a week. Shits annoying

[spice pine]

Your carrier, and that’s how they subsidize phone costs

[deep sedge]

You're subscribed to Bloatware Premium 💀

[spice pine]

Just use adb and uninstall the carrier apps, should stop it.

[night heron]

is that really a thing thats nuts

ive never had that happen on any of my iphones

[kindred tangle]

Unistall carrier apps would stop it?

[spice pine]

i think it’s “carrier services” and it has to be uninstalled via ADB, it’s marked essential on the phone itself so it won’t delete

https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

[kindred tangle]

Ty, going to try it out

[full fossil]

its not all androids bro, he just thought he got a good deal

[night heron]

yeh i dont think that ever happened with my galaxy s4 or pixel 2xl either

[full fossil]

none of the phones i owned over the years too (i used to buy very cheap phones every 2-3 months when i was 16 and even those weren't like this

[kindred tangle]

must be perhaps regional thing, i'm in UK, perhaps in other areas in the world it isn't that known?

anyway in that guide i can't my phone talk to my pc, changing default usb config to transfer files doesn't work

[full fossil]

whats your phone bruv

plus

[kindred tangle]

s22 ultra, debugging mode on, default usb config set to transfer files, but it charges :/

[full fossil]

do you have galaxy unobtanium s6

[kindred tangle]

[full fossil]

i have galaxy note 20 plus (same os as yours pretty sure) and a s23ultra, neither have this issue

[thick scarab]

Legion 7i or Zephyrus G16?

[kindred tangle]

Okay i believe i know who's install the garbages games on my phone. App called "AppCloud"
"
What is App Cloud?
It turns out that AppCloud is a complete piece of junk that’s trying to install unwanted apps on your device. Samsung should be ashamed for shoving this onto people’s devices."
