Windows 11 at the moment.

[primal sonnet]

I mean for your phone

[alpine gale]

Yes, I use a OnePlus 5T.

[primal sonnet]

ah I use a pixel 8a

You use Spotify?

[alpine gale]

Spotify is love; is life. ❤️ (For my personal music listening needs; to each their own.)

[primal sonnet]

it's still the same price for me because I'm a student. Apple music is awesome though. I tried yt music but there ui is horrible and shuffle is bad on there

[karmic latch]

hi

[alpine gale]

Possible? Yes. A good idea? Uh, that highly depends on the Windows license currently on the laptop, and how you intend on cloning the installation. Also... you may run into driver conflicts between systems.

[eager notch]

Elijah, can we get the smell of Elijah in the gamescent?

I'd pay extra for that

[old yacht]

bruh

[full fossil]

Same

At least a dollar extra

[pearl shell]

so probably better to just get a fresh install? coz i got a licence on my desktop

[alpine gale]

There's far less a chance of something going sideways if you do a fresh install. Besides, Windows 11 installs quite fast these days, so it'd likely take less time to fresh install + setup how you want than to troubleshoot cloning.

[full fossil]

2 if you smell good

[pearl shell]

ok will do thanks for the advice

its actually coz im having stutter issues with war thunder on my desktop and not on my laptop thats why i wanted the exact windows version i got there

the only thing left to do is a windows install everything else i already tried i believe xD

[worthy lance]

does anyone know any good forums for tech support? already ghosted by Microsoft and toms hardware

[alpine gale]

#1027757333117415424 may be able to help if a fresh install still doesn't improve things, but yeah, if that's the reason you want to clone... don't clone - do a fresh install to rule out software issues.

Keep in mind you could be waiting a day or so for a response on a forum

[alpine gale]

Perhaps you could try -- and hear me out; this is a crazy thought -- LinusTechTips.com?

[grim belfry]

Also the relevant stack exchange could help

Heya people! Does anyone know how to start a pc building business? I’m not in the us, but in my country there’s a lack of places where people can get their pc’s fixed or custom made

I’ve built a good amount of pc’s for myself, friends and family but I want to help other people with their stuff too

[jolly herald]

my main pc over many years
2020: i3 8130U / i5 3330
2021: i3 8130 (Now with an SSD) / i5 3330 (Now a TESTING PC)
2022: i3 8130U, i5 3330 PC dies, but for a while, i5 7400 was a main
2023: mostly i3 8130U, some i5 7400
2023 (December): i3 8130U partially dies
2024 (January through March): FX 4300
2024 (April to now): Pentium Silver N6000

[hot tartan]

You would have to start off with local adds on Facebook, or other sites, then work your way up from there

[full fossil]

Yes but please no "free" listings, those should be abolished

[hot tartan]

Didn’t say you had to do that

Just some way to advertise yourself locally

[full fossil]

Yeah I know, I'm just saying it cause people do that

[regal fractal]

how much does an rx 6600 go for if i were to buy it used

Does anyone know what the current meta ultralight/travel wireless gaming mouse is? I'm still using the g305 because it's comfy but I'm realizing it does have problems not being rechargeable natively.

[vapid smelt]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071D14RLB my meta steam deck mouse

[worthy lance]

thanks for the suggestion, I'm afraid this ones a bit too complicated of a problem for it xd def need some advanced ideas

I have a tech support thread in here that hasn't been looked at in a while (except the recent update I posted)

[wraith sonnet]

I like the idea but I may be too boomer to get anything that slim.

This feels like a weird thing to knock off. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811197017?Item=N82E16811197017

The best thing to do is just set money on fire

And go insane

It will be much quicker

[tropic gulch]

i fixed my gpu sag issue now its sitting too high is that also an issue

[wispy marsh]

The taiwanese pc builder looks like he was having a great time doing linus's $5,000 watercooled pc

Give them a chance :O

It's also really good to learn how a business, finances, management and logistics work

[hoary shale]

hi!
(idk discord told me to do it)

[heady flicker]

well, mission accomplished

now you have to go through a bunch of random channels no one really chats in

[grim belfry]

Bob is correct here

[manic torrent]

It is my curse

[grim belfry]

I feel for you ❤️

[grim belfry]

Better yet

[sturdy dune]

oh yeah forgot about that

[grim belfry]

much better

[hoary shale]

This server is interesting

[grim belfry]

The only chat that doesn't make you lose braincells is fp chat

[hoary shale]

I don't have access to that channel

[sturdy dune]

its part of the floatplane subscription

LTT hosts their own website

[tropic gulch]

whats the app that you install on a pc and it detects your software and gives you rhe option to install all the necessary drivers

[grim belfry]

Windows Update :)

[tulip bay]

how can i transfer the games that i installed on disc C to another disc so i can install another windows on C

?

[polar cliff]

hi!

[tulip bay]

Should i uncheck something ?

[past fjord]

have u guys pirated games before?

[sharp widget]

Hi

[tulip bay]

hey guys

go to tech chat 1

[tranquil belfry]

I would tell you if there wasn’t a possibility of getting arrested

[past fjord]

its alright bro

im not a fed, so go on and tell me 🙂

[tranquil belfry]

How do I know you’re not a private investigator hired by the CIA

[past fjord]

its because i live in japan 🙂

[tranquil belfry]

Aha

Konnichiwa brotha

[deep sedge]

You can do that on Steam, but for other platforms, I don't know

[tranquil belfry]

Well yes, I do some piracy here and there. But not often

[tulip bay]

so if i perform a clean install and install it steam can i run games without

installing it ? on c?

[deep sedge]

Yes

[tulip bay]

but do i have to install steam on c or D

that i can acces

without waiting to install the games from begining

[full fossil]

.

[manic torrent]

Each game on steam can be in a different location. This is all covered in their documentation and is easily searchable

I'm hyped

Got tons of fireworks and guns for today

[dusk vessel]

should i be scared

[bright raptor]

yes, fear the mighty power of "politely interrupting your Rarring to ask you if you maybe wanna buy it"

by the way, would anyone here happen to have casual understanding of SQL, Python and Binary?

[full fossil]

Can turning off the PSU while the pc is on destroy the pc or not?

[dusk vessel]

no

[bright raptor]

anything "out of the norm" could destroy a pc, but its deffinetly not supposed to

[full fossil]

Ok thanks

[bright raptor]

biggest chance is that windows craps itself tbh, but even that should rarely if ever happen

[pallid remnant]

I might switch to linux bruh, fk ai

if linux gets AI, were doomed

[bright raptor]

its linux tho, if it gets ai, its 100% optional

[pallid remnant]

fr fr

windows howwver u cant uninstall copilot u can only take it off the taskbar lolll

[bright raptor]

with linux, even GUI is optional, so i wouldn't worry about AI being forced on ya

[pallid remnant]

yh i use ubuntu server for my minecraft server, its a W and its simple

[bright raptor]

its software, you deffinetly can remove it, or limit its abilities, you're just gonna have to find a way how to

[smoky badge]

nahh

[strange elk]

Still give my ex shit for this sometimes

[strange elk]

Its nice over here

And if you get homesick if you liked recall for some reason there's always OpenRecall now

[strange elk]

And the next OS update just re-adds it, or something breaks because muh unnecessary dependency

[rough temple]

just use 7-zip

[strange elk]

Or peazip

[split swift]

No?

[dusk vessel]

Nah i like winrar better

does anyone make a 21:9 or 32:9 4k 240hz OLED panel? I could've sworn I heard something like that announced by someone, but I can't find it

I can find it in 16:9, but once you go ultrawide it's hard to go back lol

[steady orchid]

That's so a**

The file compression ratio is terrible

[lilac bear]

no

[steel halo]

what has happend to pc secret shopper 3 part 1?

[rough temple]

tar.zlib or tar.zstd then :3

[steady orchid]

Most of the people don't even need that

7zip is more resource hungry and its noticeably slower

Rar can handle recovery volumes

Rar can repair corrupted archives and can also retrieve lost data

[wild loom]

how do i change what screen my radeon software overlay is on

also why do i constantly have a stupid loading thing around my mouse

[full fossil]

I think MSI made one, im not sure though

it could also do 1440 540/580 Hz

[wild loom]

why would you need 500hz

[lilac bear]

yeah 800hz better

[steel halo]

whats the browser

[tidal minnow]

I still find it crazy people talk about 500hz. It felt like yesterday when it was like barely even a thing.

[flat pivot]

Hi mods 😈

[turbid oriole]

I just bought Palworld and I'm stressed that it won't live up to the hype

[flat pivot]

That's very Cynical thinking

[turbid oriole]

it's in my nature

[solemn axle]

it should be fun

although i didn't like it but for other reasons

[turbid oriole]

should, yes

[flat pivot]

Linus: last message here 5 years ago 😮

[vapid smelt]

In the channels you can see

[glossy quarry]

hi

[flat pivot]

I only selected gaming in channel list, so I have bare minimum visible

When was Linus active here last time if I might ask?

[flat pivot]

Wow you are gonna quit geometry dash?

[glossy quarry]

idk how to answer that lmfao

[vapid smelt]

2 years ago in floatplane chat

[flat pivot]

2 years of sadness I guess

have passed.

[lilac bear]

because it's mostly a shit post game

pokemon but with guns! and slavery!

[flat pivot]

and uwu

[vapid smelt]

I mean Pokemon is just missing the guns

[hot tartan]

Palworld was much more fun than any recent pokemon game I’ve played

[lilac bear]

and drugs!

[solemn axle]

I just don't like Mizobe's point of making games out of games

Palworld would be better if it had an identity tbh

Simpsons were a satire but it had an identity, as well as Rick & Morty

[sacred horizon]

This garage sale is packed

[lilac bear]

Rick & Morty fell off

[rough temple]

what do you guys think of drm

[lilac bear]

who is DRM

[ornate minnow]

What's at the garage sale btw?

Hello

[sour tinsel]

The garage sale was fun

Had to cross the border but it was worth it

[steel halo]

Is Opera GX trustworthy?

[heady flicker]

it's full of bloat, but it works as a browser

[steel halo]

i mean more on the sending all of your data to the chinese goverment thing. some people say its owned by a chinese company which is under chinese law required to send your data on request and others say no because opera is a european company

which one is true lol

[heady flicker]

well, the parent company of opera is Kunlun Tech

[strange elk]

Probably not. I mean it's proprietary, you never know

Its owners have known to be shady

[heady flicker]

if you don't like the risks, just don't use the browser

[strange elk]

I use Firefox. I liked GX as a kid but ^

[steel halo]

mm yeah fair enough I’ll stick to edge

[sour tinsel]

Brave is better

[peak rain]

LTT have a sponsor code for infinite cables?

[empty dock]

instead of unknown evil, choose known evil

[lilac bear]

switch to Firefox

[solemn axle]

switch to ungoogled chromium

[sour tinsel]

nah, switch to googled unchromium

[solemn axle]

Aka normal Firefox because Mozilla are sponsored by Google

[sour tinsel]

true

i bought a 8k monitor at the garage sale today and my pc wont let it do 8k 60hz hahahaha. i can do 4k 60hz tho haahaha

[heady flicker]

as if that ever happens

[vocal raptor]

Thats internet explorer

Wait no thats the old edge logo💀

[full fossil]

oh yeah lol wrong icon

[terse umbra]

My mom uses edge and whenever I have to help her with something computer related it really annoys me

[sour tinsel]

im so sorry

[full fossil]

I mean, it's an alright browser but people have just gotten used to using Chrome based browsers for years and the switch is awful

[heady flicker]

huh

Edge is also chromium based

[full fossil]

is it?

[heady flicker]

always has been, at least until after they got rid of internet explorer

[full fossil]

oh yeah lol it is silly me

clearly I don't use it myself

[left birch]

hi! im Madhouse. ive been watching LTT for acouple months now. im hoooked!

[alpine gale]

Nah, there was a time where Edge was yet another one of Microsoft's custom browsers, but they switched away from the Trident-based Edge to Chromium-based Edge in 2019.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Edge

These days Edge is just Microsoft's version of Chromium, same as Chrome is Google's version of Chromium.

[sour tinsel]

isnt brave chromium?

[karmic flame]

was definitely an edge case

[dry fjord]

does it matter what type of isoporpyl alchol i use?

[prisma anvil]

what purpose are you using it for?

[left birch]

dont use mint flavor lol and i alwasy say use 99%

[prisma anvil]

1 thing that always gets me giggling, is whenever Linus or anyone in a video mentions or says something about a really super slow download speed (due to an outdated router, or outdated wifi receiver etc), meanwhile Im over here in Australia with literally government capped Wifi speeds of no more than 12.5-20MB/s, and thats with Fibre Optic

[prisma anvil]

yeah definitely big reccomend 99%

[left birch]

holy chizz........ i get mad when mine drops to 500mb/s

[prisma anvil]

ive never had that in my life

[steel marsh]

our average internet speed in Northern Ireland is 115 Mbit/s

[prisma anvil]

the fastest I have ever had is 8MB/s idk what in megabits that is tho

[steel marsh]

but some places can only get like 5 and under

[left birch]

has anyone every figured out why they make Isoporpyl in mint ??? like for what reason hahah

[prisma anvil]

like for me to install Warzone, i have to go to sleep and wake up for it to be finished installing

[left birch]

HI!!!! lol i have to wait till im paid again to get some Swag haha gonna buy the whiole kit and kabootale

[prisma anvil]

hahaha I agree, but everyone can agree 8MB/s is disgustingly slow

[left birch]

my anti government slef just cried a little ahha

[prisma anvil]

i think I'd have a stroke if I ever experienced your type of speeds

[vapid smelt]

I get symmetrical fiber, up to 10gb for $150 a month

[prisma anvil]

noice

[vapid smelt]

Usd

[prisma anvil]

I pay $90 per month AUD for 100mb/s

which is 67USD

and $92CAD for the fellow free healthcare humans here

also will add pic of my setup in a moment, I just woke up (its 8.24am on Sunday here haha), yes I know post it in battlestations

[steel marsh]

i pay like 125 aud or like 68 gbp or 118 CAD and 87 usd

for much higher download speeds and like 100 upload

[prisma anvil]

noice @steel marsh

[steel marsh]

[vapid smelt]

Do you also have the option to "rent" better upload/download for the day or whatever another Aussie here has that weird option

[sour tinsel]

anything, its a open world game. expect to die A LOT

[prisma anvil]

it is a thing but not in my budget

[bitter glade]

Yeah but there so much to do idk what or where to start

[sour tinsel]

try fighting the first enemy on the horse

[bitter glade]

💀

Not ready for that

Ima figure it out I guess

[sour tinsel]

you dont know if you dont try

[bitter glade]

Trust me I tried

And died

[sour tinsel]

you'll die to every boss and a LOT of enemies. the point of the game is to keep trying and learning enemies' and bosses attack patterns

just explore, you'll find stuff on your own

[ionic abyss]

how do i clear ublock cache

this may just be firefox being a pain

[old yacht]

I die on the inside everyday even without my boss

oh wait you ment a video game

[sour tinsel]

[old yacht]

WAIT WHAT which one was that LMAO

[prisma anvil]

and Linus is only 1inch taller than my fave muso

[left birch]

Unbeknownst to you, you're just in western New Zealand

[cedar storm]

[prisma anvil]

[cedar storm]

or am i dumb idk

[prisma anvil]

but going from nz to here would be more west north west aka west haha

[eager notch]

reddit.com/r/MapsWithoutNZ

[cedar storm]

oh yeah i read it the wrong way

[prisma anvil]

i thought so, ya werent wrong in essence, ya just got the things mixed up

[cedar storm]

btw i had a quesiton im kinda lost on smth

is running ram in only slots 3 and 4 still single channel on ddr5 mobos too gigabyte gaming x ax v2

[prisma anvil]

I really wouldnt know as Im not up to spec on ddr5 etc

could always google it

[cedar storm]

when i put ram in 2 and 4 or 1 and 3 it doesnt work

[prisma anvil]

or could ask Elijah

[cedar storm]

whos that

[prisma anvil]

also I just finished watching the $5000 tech upgrade series, and poor elijah cops it so much

[eager notch]

Generally you want to have a space between them for dual channel, as for that specifical motherboard, idk

[old yacht]

vine boom

[prisma anvil]

vine boom? as in the app vine from back in the day?

[eager notch]

Elijah is love, Elijah is life, Elijah is (probably) Canadian

[cedar storm]

is running ram in only slots 3 and 4 still single channel on ddr5 mobos too gigabyte gaming x ax v2

putting ram in slots 2 and 4 or 1 and 3 dont work

pc doesnt work and dram light sometimes goes off

bios is from 4/12 and i dont see any bios updates regrading ram since then

[left birch]

i watched all the Upgrade videos just to watch Elijah break things ahaha

[dusty cloak]

Is the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA507NU-LP101W a good laptop for £789?

[old yacht]

yes, thats single channel

[cedar storm]

Do you know if there is anything I can do to fix it

[prisma anvil]

thats $1377CAD for the maple syrup lovers in here

[eager notch]

Eli, are you getting a sign like live laugh liao?

Embrace, excite, Elijah

[prisma anvil]

maybe get a bumper sticker: "helmets save elijahs"

Anybody played or playing Chained Together? I recently got onto it earlier this past week and its so much fun, even running solo

[dusty cloak]

So is it?

[prisma anvil]

I kinda wanna get a bumper sticker that says "my pc costs more than my car" but I dont have a car to put the sticker on haha

[prisma anvil]

will check it out now

[dusty cloak]

Thx

[prisma anvil]

@dusty cloak Im assuming you went with the 16GB Ram, 512GB, RTX2050 version of it?

[dusty cloak]

Rtx 4050

Ddr5 ram btw

[prisma anvil]

okay cool, then tbh just based on the gpu alone, its good value for what you got

[dusty cloak]

Ah i see

[prisma anvil]

I genuinely think based on a quick read of the specs, dimensions, weight, display etc, its solid value

[dusty cloak]

Ah thanks

[prisma anvil]

if you treat the laptop well, you honestly shouldnt need a new one for quite a few years 🙂

[dusty cloak]

I treat all my tech well xd

[prisma anvil]

very good then 🙂

[dusty cloak]

Im currently on a 12 year old pc lmao

[prisma anvil]

[prisma anvil]

thats fair enough

[dusty cloak]

My pc is powering through lol

I need to let it rest at sone point 😂

[vernal cargo]

i have a pretty new laptop and honestly an old thinkpad would have been better

or more adequite i say

[dusty cloak]

Oh ok

But i think with mine i need an upgrade

[vernal cargo]

probably

[dusty cloak]

Im using a lenovo c260

[vernal cargo]

mine is soldered ram so i cant upgrade it

and there is only 1 nvme slot as far as i know

[dusty cloak]

I can upgrade my ram, but i dont want to spent money on something im going to replace soon

[vernal cargo]

and the aluminum chassis got damaged really easily so now i cant use one of the usb a ports

[dusty cloak]

Damn. You should get one of those usb hubs

They are wayy to useful not to have xd

[vernal cargo]

i dont really need it as i dont use it much but now i only have 1 usba on the left and 2 type c on the right

[dusty cloak]

Oh i see

[vernal cargo]

and the chassis stiffness is horrible

if i hold it near the trackpad the bending will click the mouse

[dusty cloak]

Damn

That bad

[sour tinsel]

Good evening/morning people

[karmic flame]

I love mine, Remember on a scale of 1-10 where 1 is being a cheap $20 bag this is somewhere around a 5. Its well worth what you pay for.
Remember there are backpacks and bags out there that go well into the thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars..

[deep merlin]

Hello

[prisma anvil]

hey there @deep merlin

[wary light]

So what’s y’all’s obsession with bread?

[cedar storm]

Is updating bios through windows risky reddit says it is

[sour tinsel]

Ah ok, they had some for sale at the garage sale today so I copped one for $109usd

[prisma anvil]

I bought a 5pack of the small MCM Arches, small MCM Plates, dead pixel deskpad (purely cuz 1 of my monitors has a dead pixel so had to make it matchy matchy), and of course the Screwdriver.

Can't wait for it all to arrive, gunna be like christmas in August (cuz thats probs how long it's gunna take to get from Canada to Aus haha)

[sour tinsel]

bread

[prisma anvil]

its solid beer whats not to love

[primal sonnet]

So I've been switching back and forth with streaming services for a few months and finally settled on YouTube music which people claim is the worst lol. It is a pretty mid app but I find the sound quality to be just as good if not better than Spotify. I've used apple music and tidal as well and apple music is good but with Bluetooth audio there is no audible difference even with the lossless audio when wired. YouTube premium for me is $7.99 as I am a college student and for that price I get ad free YouTube and yt music.

[fresh sorrel]

If it works for you then its good

[sour tinsel]

spotify uses mp3 files, and tbh most people cant tell the difference between master and mp3. every streaming service handles their files differently. i found amazon music to be brighter sounding but i like spotify the best cause i will never give up the throne of #1 sleep token fan

[alpine gale]

Spotify doesn't use MP3, but they're not the best quality either.
https://support.spotify.com/us/artists/article/audio-file-formats/

[sour tinsel]

they dont anymore?

they used to

Spotify’s audio quality is typically considered to be 320kbps MP3. This means that the music files are compressed using the MP3 format at a bitrate of 320 kilobits per second. This is a relatively high quality setting, but it is still a lossy compression format, which means that some of the audio data is discarded during the compression process.

Lossless Audio Options

While Spotify does not natively offer FLAC or other lossless audio formats, there are some workarounds and third-party solutions that can help you convert Spotify music to FLAC or other lossless formats. For example, you can use a music converter software to convert Spotify music to FLAC or other lossless formats.

[alpine gale]

To my knowledge... they never did, but I could be wrong. (Or if they did, it was over 10 years ago.)

Waaaaay back when I first subscribed, they used to have a better article on their consumer-facing support site that explained how they encode everything as OGG vorbis.

[sour tinsel]

ah ok

ill still use it cause i like high numbers (1+ million streams total)

[alpine gale]

Phooey. Their consumer-facing support page only notes AAC for the web player, and no longer explains anything about audio codecs used elsewhere. That's silly, but I understand why.
https://support.spotify.com/ca-en/article/audio-quality/

[crystal flare]

have any of you seen or heard of the show "the Ultimate Gamer"? it was this show where they'd destroy somebody's gaming setup only to pimp it out with all the latest gaming tech, so... essentially "Pimp my Ride" but for gamers.

[stone oxide]

is it normal for my hands to be shaking when I built my pc?

it was one of my first ever builds

[humble merlin]

yes, lots of money on the line and one shaky slip with the screw driver can destroy something.

[left birch]

as long as they shake the parts into the right place thennow

[cedar storm]

Do I need the one on the left

[humble merlin]

check your manual, unlikely you need both, likely both are there for compatibility

[cedar storm]

I don't think I need both let's see tho

[manic torrent]

"mp3 files" is like saying something is a car. There are many many ways to encode an MP3.

[sour tinsel]

true, but its only 320kbs

[stone oxide]

my mind was going through the so many scenarios, like if i screw too hard it’ll break the motherboard

[manic torrent]

It's whatever rate it's encoded at.

By whatever encoder encoded it.

[pliant karma]

No you don’t need it.

[manic torrent]

Back in the land before time, we had to encode our own MP3s, and most of them were 128kbps, because we had to download them over modem and play them on very crap computers 🙂

[karmic flame]

128kbps? you must of been one of those spoiled kids with the super fast 56k modems

[manic torrent]

... And by using Linux, I could play MP3s on my older 486 as well as on the Pentium in windows!

[cedar storm]

If I bent f_32 can I still use my pc

It is only front usb right

[shrewd notch]

Oops, I may have just accidentally broadcast wan show across my entire Google home devices at midnight and woke up my house

[fallen rover]

My father says I should be above 6'2" to get an advantage

[old yacht]

[fresh sorrel]

The guy on the right

[plush quarry]

[karmic flame]

one in the middle

[sour tinsel]

i ALMOST bought the gold plated motherboard until i saw it was only 11th gen intel cpus only

it was SO PRETTY

[fresh sorrel]

Just do what the Russians do and replace the chipset

I’d do the gold mobo in a wooden case

[sour tinsel]

i dont have the skills for that

[sacred horizon]

So glad I got it! Well worth the cost and more backpacks for the backpack collection 😄

[sour tinsel]

i actually dont have my own backpack so i had to get one lol

[sacred horizon]

Did not see that one!

Half wished I'd bid on the 45 drives server, but errrrr, public transport and that thing would not get along

[sour tinsel]

the WHAT SERVER

HOW MUCH DID IT GO FOR

[sacred horizon]

thank you again to you and the team for putting the event on, was good fun!

[sour tinsel]

it was a fun event

worth crossing the border

[old yacht]

600, is was part of old mothervault

[fresh sorrel]

Damnnn

[sharp bobcat]

yo hi elijah

[fresh sorrel]

I need a server closet

[sour tinsel]

ohhhh ok, tempting for the lols

[old yacht]

i did nothing for wetting it up, but ill pass onto team

[fresh sorrel]

💦

[sour tinsel]

what the fuck

not ok

[sharp bobcat]

but why

[sacred horizon]

Bloody steal for that price! I realllllly wish that 45 Drives would release a short depth version of their chassis! (And ideally at a slightly more HomeLab friendly price, the HL15 is costly!)

[fallen rover]

Is that Linus's mother?

[old yacht]

sliger cases

[sacred horizon]

Thank you, I mean you did still help!

[old yacht]

https://www.sliger.com/products/rackmount/storage/cx3701/

[grim belfry]

It's open source 😉

[fresh sorrel]

Just plug all the drives in and stack them in a few piles externally easy

[old yacht]

I bought 3 cases from this site

[sacred horizon]

Yes! Was looking into them the other night just hoping I don't get screwed over with the damn import costs! The cable management should be... fun

[fresh sorrel]

Yoo show off the rack

[old yacht]

ship them to ship happens

then drive down and pick up

[old yacht]

its for a future vid, not setup yet

[sacred horizon]

Any tips on cable management ? And how is the heat on them ?

[fresh sorrel]

Hell yea

[sour tinsel]

hows cabling with hyte cases?

[old yacht]

I havent used them yet,

[old yacht]

as decent as the lian li O11 series

[fresh sorrel]

I’ve had my O11 for years it’s been great

[sour tinsel]

so mid? or goodish

[sharp bobcat]

good

[old yacht]

its better than traditional cases, I just dont like those designs for cases

[sour tinsel]

ah ok

[fresh sorrel]

I think I got the razer lian li like the summer it came out

[sour tinsel]

should i wait for the 50 series or get a 4080 or 4080 super. its gonna be a white card

[sharp bobcat]

it's not even the same as O11. Tried it on a demo booth on local event once

[sacred horizon]

Damn that'd be one hell of a trek for me (don't drive) but will have to investigate, thank you!

[old yacht]

what do you have now

[sour tinsel]

3070FE and im selling my current pc to a discord friend

[fallen rover]

Make like a Christmas themed case where Linus makes it for like a very important person like a celebrity or something or like a prime minister of some sort as a gift

[old yacht]

they charge $4 per package and will hold for 60 days, do if you can arrange driving over its worht it

[sour tinsel]

worht

[fresh sorrel]

Just take about half of your pc budget and see what the best you can afford is

[cedar storm]

any way to hook a fan with no screws? can i just tape em on

[old yacht]

oh wait till 50 series. no need for the 40 rn

[old yacht]

jr writer moment

[old yacht]

zip ties

[sour tinsel]

when will the 50 series come out? im selling my pc in august

[cedar storm]

dont own any i think

[fresh sorrel]

Superglue, epoxy, sugru, prayers

[old yacht]

leaks are this year, around Oct, no confirmation yet

[cedar storm]

but then i like cant take it off

[sharp bobcat]

wait until 50 series, consider medium - high mix for some games (probably with FSR/ DLSS as well)

[neon mesa]

50 series on its way to absolute ransack my 30 series resale price

[sacred horizon]

Order some on amazon for a few $ :p

[fresh sorrel]

The first two were a joke

But yeah just get zip ties

[sour tinsel]

oh ok, so ill tell my friend if he can wait until then

thank

[cedar storm]

btw is the 4 pin rgb header on system fans the 12v one cuz im confused

[old yacht]

buy used then on FB marketplace, you can probably get a 3090 or 3080 for REALLY cheap compared to a new 4080, you dont NEED a 4080 and use the money you save for games lmao

[sour tinsel]

im scared of how much the 50 series is gonna be

[sacred horizon]

Same cost as a kidney

[sharp bobcat]

~~or if you want to, find a vram modder and get it modded to 16gb ~~

[old yacht]

we found a used 3080 in up here for $500 CAD, which is like an INSANE deal

[sour tinsel]

the thing is i already have way too many games, i just want a true 4k 120hz system

[fresh sorrel]

Nvidias pricing strategy is tied to the price of organs

[cedar storm]

u need a 4090 for that lol

[sour tinsel]

thats why i bought such an expensive case, a expensive motherboard i need to fix

[fresh sorrel]

Make sure you actually have a good monitor first

[cedar storm]

u dont need a good case and motherboard

[fresh sorrel]

And not just the cheapest 4k 120 monitor

[sour tinsel]

i already have one in mind

[neon mesa]

4k120hz monitors are like, 1k aren't they

I don't follow the monitor market

[old yacht]

also then sent me a one of one color, which Im very excited to see LOL

[sour tinsel]

my current build is meh, so my next pc is gonna be aeshetic

[sharp bobcat]

yea this, I feel like 3090 would still going to hold up very well for years

[cedar storm]

i cant wait to hop in fort later and see my fps i just had a huge upgrade

[sour tinsel]

i found a pink 4070 im tempted in buying but idk

[cedar storm]

meanwhile my 8gb 3070

[sharp bobcat]

and there's someone modded a 3090ti to be a 4090

[neon mesa]

3090s are becoming hard to find

[fresh sorrel]

you can also buy a cheaper 4070 and a bottle of spray paint :3

[sacred horizon]

Oh damn! Can we expect photos when you get it ? What you doing with three of their cases anyhow, big ass homelab setup ?

[neon mesa]

Everyone bought em when used prices was low

[sour tinsel]

can i post a link?

[neon mesa]

Now I can't even find a 3090, even if there is one, it's priced ridiculously.

[old yacht]

Im moving my old computer to 1, building a new gamign rig, and then useing the NAS case to build a NAS and media server

[sharp bobcat]

what about 2080ti

[old yacht]

idk the rules LMAO

[neon mesa]

Garbage at this point

No reason to not get a 3080 instead

[fresh sorrel]

i had a monitor i was sellig on facebook marketplace for like 700$, i had it up for months with nothing and the price went down on ebay to like 300-400 used, then someone messaged me and traded me a 3080, 800w psu, and 32gb of ram for the monitor

[old yacht]

its still a great card, My wife has one and its great for 1440p 144Hz

[sharp bobcat]

man I wish 3080 20GB actually released globally and not like

sent to russian miners

[sour tinsel]

i see nothing against it

so

GALAX GeForce RTX™ 4070 EX Gamer Pink 1-Click OC, ARGB Fan, Xtreme Tuner App Control, 12GB, GDDR6X, 192-bit, DP*3/HDMI 2.1/DLSS 3/Gaming Graphics Card (with ARGB Fans) https://a.co/d/0gt9pkal

[sharp bobcat]

which is very sad considering it was actually a real production

[sacred horizon]

Hell yeah! Nice setup, hopefulyl the temps aren't going to be too bad. Has Jake convinced you to go full Unifi yet ?

[sour tinsel]

Amazon link

[fresh sorrel]

im just upset how unprioritized raster graphics are at this point

[old yacht]

he never needed to convince me, I just didnt have money to do it before LMAO

Im getting a dream machine soon, and U7 Pro, I plan on getting cameras later to spy on my cats

[sour tinsel]

having a pink card with a white build would look cool

[fresh sorrel]

do you have anything you plan to host besides a storage server and home networking

[sacred horizon]

Valid, their stuff is EXPENSIVE. Really wanna trade my UDM Pro to a UDM Pro SE for that POE goodness!

[neon mesa]

Raster definitely has room for improvements. (Look at Microsoft flight sim)
Though raster gets ridiculously heavy when you want it to get really good.

[old yacht]

Plex, Minecraft server, Linux Isos, etc

[fresh sorrel]

hell yeah

[sacred horizon]

Been looking at the cameras cause my adhd ass can never recall if I've left the stove / water / shower on etc

[fresh sorrel]

go down the homeassistant rabbithole >:)

[old yacht]

just get their new 16 port POE switch, its sick, has 4 ports that are 2.5

[grim belfry]

For what it is, it's quite resonable tbh

[sharp bobcat]

me with an ROG ally looking at this chat:

[neon mesa]

Home assistants have always been useless for me personally.
Speech recognition to this day still got no accomodations for rhotacism.

Which sucks

[sour tinsel]

whats the difference between a 4070 and a 4070 super

[lunar venture]

hi

[old yacht]

price

[fresh sorrel]

homeassistant is an open source home automation software like homekit and google home, not home assistants :>

[sharp bobcat]

though I will be modding it once Oculink/ 2280 kit for og ally comes out

[grim belfry]

Homeassistant is not like siri

[sour tinsel]

thats it?

[sacred horizon]

Nothinng wrong with having a ROG ally vs a whole load of stuff! It's about what's right for you!

[neon mesa]

Point stands

[fresh sorrel]

i have a bunch of aruba APs that supposedly require an aruba controller and i want to try and open source them cuz i got them free from work lmao

[old yacht]

they are so close together it may or may not be worth gettign Super if you can get it on a sale or something

[sharp bobcat]

I got it as a prize

[fresh sorrel]

its not a voice recognition thing its an operating system

[grim belfry]

lmao good luck with that

[fresh sorrel]

oh i know

[sacred horizon]

What about hubitat instead of the home-assistant stuff?

[fresh sorrel]

but im cheap and that drives me

[neon mesa]

Google home is operated by voice is it not.

[sour tinsel]

the super im looking at is on sale for $640USD and the 4070 is on sale for $580USD

[fresh sorrel]

it CAN be but voice stuff is a feature not all it is

[grim belfry]

APs or IAPs?

[fresh sorrel]

its just the platform that connects IOT devices

[old yacht]

so like 10% more expensive, but its gets like 1-4% bonus in games. So it is better but you are paying more than its worth in performance if that makes sense

[grim belfry]

https://v2n.hatenablog.com/entry/2021/08/11/200131
:)

It's the exact same hardware on APs and IAPs

[fresh sorrel]

lets goooo chinese blog saves the day again

[cedar storm]

why does this fan have 3 cords

[sour tinsel]

fair, so ill get the 4070 instead of a 4070 super or a 4080 super. pink or white

[old yacht]

im a pink boi so pink

[sour tinsel]

BET

ordering it next month

[grim belfry]

Hatenablog is great for networking stuff like that

[fresh sorrel]

oo ill check it out

[cedar storm]

and which one gives rgb

[fresh sorrel]

is there not writing on the plugs

[sour tinsel]

with that i think my pcpartpicker is ready, i might need to change some things out tho'

[grim belfry]

So many people have documented their haxx0ring of stupid locked down equipment

[fresh sorrel]

thats sick

i couldnt find much in english lmao

[cedar storm]

no but i know which one the system fan one is i jut dont know the other

[fresh sorrel]

just look at the rgb port plug on your motherboard and see which one would fit :>

[sour tinsel]

what do you guys think?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MXPhfy

[cedar storm]

then what happens to the one that isnt plugged in

[grim belfry]

There's also this, it's a little less comprehensive however navitely in english

[fresh sorrel]

yeah i did see that one, it depends on the model, i havent got around to actally like booting up and checking all the models i have yet

[grim belfry]

Ah sweet

[fresh sorrel]

windows is sold elsewhere for slightly cheaper iyk

[cedar storm]

what

[sharp bobcat]

there's a pink 4070S/ 4080S?

[grim belfry]

Don't buy from greymarket sites

You're funding organised crime

[fresh sorrel]

you can still get it cheaper than 119

[cedar storm]

just use the github lol why would u pay for a key anyways

[sour tinsel]

a regulaR 4070

[cedar storm]

💀💀💀💀

[sharp bobcat]

what does it have to do with rgb lmao

[fresh sorrel]

i do that directly anyways whats the difference indirectly

[sour tinsel]

yeah, galax makes em

[fresh sorrel]

?

i should get rgb ethernet cables.

[grim belfry]

Just don't activate windows if you're not willing to pay for a license, much better than giving money to criminals for a key

[cedar storm]

why do u care

like how does it affect any of us who gets the money

[fresh sorrel]

do you actually have the need for 3TB of SSD and 3Tb of hard drive

[grim belfry]

Because I am Satya Nadella and I want your money

protect yourself

[sour tinsel]

linus does that now lol with finance

[fresh sorrel]

yeah its for legal protection xD

"i am not a financial advisor"

[sour tinsel]

should i get a 1000w or stick with a 80w psu

[fresh sorrel]

80w is plenty

you should be good with 800 tho

[sour tinsel]

bet

[lilac bear]

probably save a buck and move to 60W

[sour tinsel]

wot

[polar fern]

“I am not a financial advisor” is just a fact.

60 watt?

[heady flicker]

I guess that might be enough to power a beelink

[polar fern]

Finfet

[heady flicker]

that does indeed look like a finfet

[flat pivot]

Looks like some small kids swimming pool

[polar fern]

It’s 1000 times thinner than a human hair. The whole image.

[flat pivot]

that's pretty uwu

[polar fern]

Ye

Actually it’s even tinier. That gate fin is like 7 nm

The smaller ones are 5 nm

Or thereabouts

So it’s more like 60,000 times smaller than a human hair

Likelihood of a 2 slot 5080?

[sour tinsel]

That would be a HUGE card

[hearty plover]

The 4080 uses less power than the 3080

[flat pivot]

Liquid cooled yes

[west yoke]

I use two displays... but when alt+tabbing I don't know which display I'm going... any tips on how to highlight that?

[manic torrent]

powertoys and displayfusion both have features to help with this

[agile nexus]

That is one of the cutest things I have seen till date.

[frank idol]

This made me bust

[west yoke]

I've tried displayfusion... it's a bit too much for what I want... I just wanna know which monitor the apps are directly from the Alt+tab window... display fusion isn't every intuitive to get that function lo

#Hi

[eager notch]

What a fantastic brand name

[bronze mural]

I'm planning on updating my server, the old server was named "Alert" any suggestions on a new server name?

[random jolt]

ah yes, one cent off

[full fossil]

Stay alert

[heady flicker]

the Waitress

[manic torrent]

Alarm

[manic torrent]

Windows-tab puts stuff on the window it's on, does it?

[glossy oracle]

Don't drop your LTT water bottle when it is full👍

How did I break it this bad

[west yoke]

saddly not... I have a bunch of windows open and have a hard time finding which monitor they're :/

[bronze mural]

I like the name StayAlert

[manic torrent]

I don't find I have this problem, but I get it. I suspect there is a solution for you. The display fusion forums might be good

[west yoke]

they do, but the software is too complex and the solution is paid

[manic torrent]

I can't do everything for you my dude, and sometimes shit costs money 🙂 I bought display fusion years ago, no regrets.

[glossy oracle]

$10.00 shipping

Super glue and a heat gun never served me wrong

[west yoke]

I'm not asking for you to do anything lol I just stated my problem and the experience with a given option

[grim belfry]

Lifetime updates being included is very generous of them too

[manic torrent]

I mean, I'm using Linux more often now, and smashing the win key shows me what windows are running on what monitors, so ezpz

[glossy oracle]

We're safe chat. Hydration may continue

Honestly though this white bottle I have has survived multiple drops on solid concrete while full with no dents, absolute tank

[manic torrent]

Lol my black one has a massive dent

[glossy oracle]

It's a right of passage

The dented LTT water bottle

[random jolt]

I’m on like my third lol, dented my first one, second one actually cracked open to the insulation layer with I dropped it and it fell off the third floor staircase when it’s half full lmao

[full fossil]

hi

[grim belfry]

I've had mine for about 4 years and other than the plastic collar breaking on the lid it's still going strong

[winter cliff]

hi

[prisma anvil]

good morning, good afternoon and good evening all (depending where you're at),
how are you?

[manic torrent]

I exist

[agile nexus]

Bro

[silk island]

arm64 go brr

[prisma anvil]

hey there

[silk snow]

I'm watching the Wan Show VOD and I'm at the 1HR 55Min mark Regarding the facial hair, I have a Suggestion, Goatee.

[olive spade]

Are we allowed to, in some moderation, to vent here about tech and tech companies?? 😮

[pallid falcon]

Nvidia pissed me of they're jumping into the AI train as hard as they are.

[olive spade]

I'm more annoyed on microsoft, and in the last bit of time, it's growing from a dislike of certain parts to a direct hatred for them.
Not all of microsoft, just parts of them.

[prisma anvil]

yeah maybe in #tech-chat-1 ?

[full fossil]

I know right

you've got the companies and all those people that are sitting there with their 4k 360hz displays

brother I haven't even moved on from 1080p 60 😭

[tidal minnow]

1080p60 is still good and 75-144hz monitors are getting cheaper

And hey more 4k high end refresh rates mean the lower refresh rates and lower res ones get cheaper

[gray steppe]

haha

[fierce tinsel]

Breaking the lid is so common it even says on the lttstore page for the bottles to contact them for a replacement.. that said, you're looks like it was more than the random incidental breaking they are known for :p

[strange elk]

Xbox and Windows. Xbox is worthless and windows is just garbage now. You put all these protections kn your console games it makes me not want a console. Especially the online requirements plaguing the singleplayer space. Get bent.

(And not to mention the Facebook VR strategy they are pulling buying all the talent and killing studios)

[elder basin]

i just wanted to say thank you to the community, everyone is awesome, i appreciate the help, insight, and vast collective knowledge we share with each other!

[opaque flume]

Got a new blink camera pre-prime sale it’s much clearer then my old one. Anyways the new one I have some issues with. Mainly security is weak, and it only support 2.4ghz on b/g/n legacy mixed so it’s definitely staying on my guest network. Further it’s stupidly locked down to cloud use only despite being insecure over wifi. No webrtc, no onvif, no rtsp. They really want you to pay a subscription despite having the sync module 2 for no subscription offline saving of recordings. You can’t even keep watching live on the app for more then 10 seconds before it asks if your still watching. They I guess do this to conserve battery life despite having it wired also atm. If they ever kill the cloud service it’s going to be a paper weight. It’s one of the things I hate about Amazon. Cloud only devices with planned obsolescence is anti-consumer. Plus they consume your data. The thing doesn’t even talk directly to the sync module 2 it has to go to their server then back. Can’t use home assistant with it to record because people that have had their accounts banned for violating TOS. Serious L Amazon/blink they buried any important information that would be a major red flag. Despite that it works, and would be fine for the average joe be low that doesn’t know technology. Which is sad because their literally bending consumers over at a 45 degree angle 📐 without them realizing.

[old snow]

hi

[full imp]

Hey there

[solemn axle]

huh

[strange elk]

You lost me after sentence 4. Cloud based cams with no selfhost options is a dealbreaker.

[full fossil]

I need help

[sour yoke]

Hi all, joined the server to get recommendations or a link for a place to compare simple PoE network switches for routing power/data out to some security cameras and how to make a home install look tidy

[full fossil]

I need to know if I got scammed from my $1.2K PC 2 years ago

Can I send the specs over here?

iBUYPOWER Slate 6 Mesh Gaming Desktop Liquid Cooled Intel Core i7-12700KF NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 8GB 16GB DDR5 1TB NVMe SSD Black (2024)

Price: $1,200

[lyric sphinx]

I mean its not awful

[full fossil]

I bought it in 2022

Yeah…

[strange elk]

I mean even if the specs are OK they still drop money on the details were they can

[full fossil]

Also, does anyone know if it’s safe to use Fan Control

[strange elk]

PSU, memory speed whatever

[lyric sphinx]

I mean I would have expected at least a 3060 TI

[opaque flume]

I’m just glad I didn’t buy the security cameras as well.

[full fossil]

?

[lyric sphinx]

I guess I got my mine for 550 in like 2021

[full fossil]

I use it at 50% fan speed on all my fans

[strange elk]

I've never bought a prebuilt and unless it's a good deal based on individual components I don't ever plan to

[full fossil]

So it stops being loud

[strange elk]

I just use my BIOS to tune fan curve

[lyric sphinx]

if you dont overheat what is the problem

[full fossil]

Yea it’s always cold

Like literally cold

The glass is cold temperature

Next to the GPU

[strange elk]

Lmao dude touches glass to see if PC component hot

[opaque flume]

Mosfett’s (vrms) get very hot

[full fossil]

Yes, because I get scared af when the fans get loud, which is why I use Fan Control and make it so the max potential on the fans are 50% 😭

[strange elk]

The fans get loud because the components are being cooled down

Tune your fan curve in BIOS if you can

[full fossil]

What’s that

I only use Fan Control

[opaque flume]

But then it’ll make sounds. lol

[full fossil]

For real

We want a quiet ass computer

That doesn’t overheat

[opaque flume]

Liquid cool the beast then

[full fossil]

It already came with that

On the CPU

[opaque flume]

Then it’s not adequate enough or the case is too small for airflow.

[hot tartan]

Prebuilt probably came with crappy fans and a not great case for airflow

[full fossil]

There was so much dust at the back of the front plate of the case, I had to use a vacuum to get it all out

[opaque flume]

Yep that’ll happen

[rose cargo]

Do you not just need better fans?

[strange elk]

Bruh you probably need to re-paste too. I guess 2022 maybe not but

[full fossil]

My PC still gets a bit loud sometimes, even when my Fan Control is set to 50% max and 25% minimum fan speed I think

[opaque flume]

Take the side panel off the case leave it like a open bench and just take in that free air lol.

[full fossil]

Lmao

Or just buy yourself a leaf blower yk

Jk

[opaque flume]

The size of your room and the ambient heat also makes a big difference. Law of thermodynamics lol

[full fossil]

AC is always ON at 72 degrees

And it’s a small room as well

[opaque flume]

Nice that should be fine as long at the room itself doesn’t hit 80

[full fossil]

Kk

Thanks

[indigo plume]

my fans are like a jet engine

[left birch]

idk may why of the people in her are kinda toxic... being rude about questions or builds... most of the peeps are pretty cool an can talk to other respectfully but just in the last two days ive seen people be super rude to someone just asking questions. is it normally like this in here? if so i think im just gonna leave the server. i thought this was a good place for advice but being called dumb or stupid for pc part choices or if they dont understand something is just not cool. why can we as a community spread helping in a respectful way!

[opaque flume]

Sarcasm can be taken as rude or insulting. Levity isn’t for everyone. But if they are being to toxic report them it’s simple. Unfortunately this is the internet and well we should all be respectful everyone has a different set of skills. Being mindful of that can be challenging for some people without it being too condescending.

I’m similar.

[strange elk]

Same here

There's no way Im not on the spectrum

[left birch]

oh for sure i mean its the blatant rudeness. saying something like this "gotta have luke warm iq to believe the shit it spouts" is just rude and counter productive to helping in my POV

im about helping people learn and grow and i want to as well... see it as a Reductive attitude to be rude to people when its just as easy to respectfully teach them ya know

[strange elk]

I'll check people for sure but that's just unnecessary, unless you know they're trolling but even then I just fuck with them or ignore

Stuff like that the layperson won't know though, just discourage, explain why maybe and offer other solutions

[left birch]

^^^^^ yep! like i posted a pic using CPU benchmark website... ive yused it for years never knew they did bad ranksings..... and got that comment about luke warm iq for using it.... could have just as easy said " hey idk if you know but thats not a good websit to use for benckark rates. use (xyz) instead!" how hard would that be ahha

[opaque flume]

I always say work retail or as technical support and you’ll learn a real repertoire of knowledge on how to treat and deal with people. Because people are mean in public.

[hot tartan]

This discord has also seen a lot of trolls and people who refuse to educate themselves, so people can be harsh when seeing stuff that is similar, but might not be an actual troll, or just someone who doesn’t know any better

[full fossil]

Hey everyone
Im new here

[strange elk]

Currently just as a general idea of a GPUs performance I'll see people use Tomshardwares's tier list. For CPUs I'm not sure but I am using Versus right now
