We can just not

[lilac remnant]

[solar stratus]

i hope my power doesnt go out

[urban vale]

you have a twelve disk Unraid server

and it isnt on a ups?

[harsh quartz]

Spent all the money on disks

[urban vale]

evidently

i am cable managing my rack today

[harsh quartz]

also, UPS’s are not endless :p

[solar stratus]

it is, the 2 disks actually failed when i was swapping the ups

but it only lasts an hour with a poweredge

[urban vale]

oh that’s just bad luck

[solar stratus]

it really is

4tb sas drives arent as common as sata

[urban vale]

right but it should give you enough reaction time to do something

[harsh quartz]

Can you stop it while it’s in that process?

[solar stratus]

so thats why im using jellyfin while its unprotected, to give it a better chance of dying

[harsh quartz]

Huh, never knew if you could or not

NAS’s are not something I’ve messed around with much

[twilit pewter]

i am alot more interested in retro computing and old tech in general now 🔥🔥

[urban vale]

I actually just got a ups off marketplace for my rack

[solar stratus]

this ones from a newegg reseller dude

who reviews stuff then sells it or smth like that

[harsh quartz]

Secondhand ups?

[urban vale]

it works fine and you can always replace the batteries if you need to

[solar stratus]

thats the expensive part

[harsh quartz]

Yeah the batteries are what I wouldn’t trust, I guess it’s still be cheaper but not super cheap

[solar stratus]

is there that bad of things you can do to ups batteries

except like waterlogging it...

[harsh quartz]

No I just mean like, trust that they would last

[solar stratus]

ohhhh fs

[harsh quartz]

Considering the main reason to get the UPS is battery :p

[solar stratus]

another perk is alot of outlets

[harsh quartz]

I got hacked through my UPS batteries

[solar stratus]

and being able to handle a sudden spike

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but surge protectors are MUCH cheaper

[solar stratus]

apc?

[harsh quartz]

I have a client that buys APC ups’s and they’re miserable

[solar stratus]

lol

[pliant karma]

Which models lol.

[solar stratus]

prob the cheap ones

[harsh quartz]

The tiny ones that give up after like 6 months :p

[pliant karma]

Ah yea sounds about right

[harsh quartz]

Dude had like 5 of em in the closet. Also the breaker was tripped on ALL of them, so I assume once the breaker tripped he didn’t know to reset it and just assumed it wasn’t working

[pliant karma]

The batteries for mines are readily available so not too bad

2000w units

[harsh quartz]

These things

[pliant karma]

oh fact I have one of them also

Keeps my network alive. And it’s been working great now for 4 years

[harsh quartz]

I think the main issue was he didn’t know how to fix it once the circuit was tripped, and he just thought the batteries were bad after like 3 months

I’ve always had better luck with cyber power ones but they’re not too different. I prefer the bigger battery models tho

[solar stratus]

i believe ive actually had one of those

[vapid smelt]

imagine having such bad power you need a ups

[solar stratus]

thats the utah power grid for you

[harsh quartz]

Imagine having such bad power that it keeps tripping every UPS you buy

[pliant karma]

lol also socal. Summer is a bitch with the rolling blackouts

[solar stratus]

everythings bad in cali tbf

[harsh quartz]

We haven’t had blackouts since Christmas 2 years back, it’s actually been a lot more stable since then. I think they got their teeth kicked in after that one and stepped it into gear

[pliant karma]

But yes the small 600va unit has kept my network alive for 7/8 hours

[vapid smelt]

dont worry when you switch to make your trains all electric it wont effect it at all

[harsh quartz]

And cars

And gas stoves

[solar stratus]

thats implying public infastructure will be built

[vapid smelt]

and lawn care equipment

[solar stratus]

are they building that with the olympics, probably

[harsh quartz]

And gas water heaters

Although I will admit in line electric water heaters are pretty cool

[vapid smelt]

https://www.instituteforenergyresearch.org/regulation/the-feasibility-of-californias-electric-train-mandate-when-the-trains-do-not-exist/ about half the trains we have btw

[harsh quartz]

I mean this isn’t even half as stupid as the car mandate though

that’s just actually impossible

[pearl dawn]

I just love it when i wake up in the morning wanting to listen to a specific album only to find out it became region locked overnight

[harsh quartz]

VPN

Also speaking of music, just listened to feel good inc for the first time and I don’t get the hype

[pearl dawn]

i never did

[pearl dawn]

i have one i havent gotten it to work with spotify. also it's an american band i would assume and i live in america?

[harsh quartz]

What album

[pearl dawn]

Elements of Contamination by Gamma Sector

it was on my liked songs and it was just greyed out

In fact it seems like a bunch of they stuff went away

[harsh quartz]

Idk, seems to still be on YT music. Might’ve had a publisher issue if they lost a bunch

[pearl dawn]

yea that is what i would assume

[fast parrot]

I need it, because electric infrastructure is being bombed

[vapid smelt]

you live in Ukraine?

[silent crescent]

lol. I had an Eaton 5E1100iUSB for all of my rack until this time, I just bought an Eaton 5PX1500 like half a month ago, besides a new rack. Just setting the whole rack up this week. The 5E goes to my networking, the 5PX goes to the servers.

Also, I need a NUT server, because the beeping in case of an outage on the 5E is UNBAREABLE

[harsh quartz]

We make a lot of jokes about this not being Google, but man, that one’s rough

[dawn jackal]

Anyone got a Snapdragon X laptop? I’m seriously considering one over an M4 MacBook when I replace my current one, I’m just worried about compatibility

[harsh quartz]

They’re still on first gen right?

[dawn jackal]

Yeah, they’ve only been out for like 2 months or something

Amazon customer service required that I take a picture of my spoiled mayonnaise jar before they would allow a refund to be issued

[fervent glacier]

Hey guys I’m running 60-70-80c idle on a ryzen 9 5900x is that normal kind of

[polar fern]

So to spite their ridiculous request, I made the customer service agent stay on the phone while I rummaged through the trash bag pile and took this picture.

Note that the mayonnaise jar is full.

[vapid smelt]

thats why i just go to the store

[polar fern]

Going to the store would not have helped because the seal on this was not sealed from the production line plus, I’m not going to go back to the store to return an item

I have not shopped in a grocery store since October 2020

[glad dagger]

erm thats a lot of mayo

[polar fern]

May have been November

Yup and when I opened it, it smelled like a gym sock

Part of the seal wasn’t stuck down to the jar

Typically mayonnaise that’s freshly opened. Smells pretty vinegary

This one had no vinegar smell at all and just smelled like a gym sock

[vapid smelt]

you could inspect it before buying it and it wouldnt sit in a hot amazon truck

[glad dagger]

see i just drink water

no mayo

[polar fern]

Usually what happens if mayonnaise is not packaged properly the vinegar will actually evaporate and this both reduces the antimicrobial power of the vinegar and also allows microbes to get into the container

Yeah, I don’t drink mayonnaise either

it just really pisses me off because what if I didn’t have a way to take a picture of the goddamn item?

They’re just going to take my money that’s from a government benefit program and just keep it?

that is a federal felony.

I decided that next week I am going to be contacting the Federal Trade Commission to make sure that their policies allow customer service managers to override and give a replacement or refund at the discretion of the manager.

for people that have a regular income usually you just toss a thing out and move on, but I have to budget every single cent of my benefit money for food and if something goes awry, it can throw off weeks worth of meals.

This one container of mayonnaise used to prepare food equates to approximately 12 meals

This whole war against poor and disabled people extremely upsetting frustrating and more importantly I can’t have several go-to meals until this is rectified

[full fossil]

LMAO

[night heron]

[raw igloo]

anyone recovered an inactive twitch account that is past the tme so you can't just login and reactivate?
looking at the options for a second account to my DJ'ing account
opened a ticket with twitch support (not holding out for a reply, except getting the automated "we got it")

[frail socket]

Make a new account

If it’s deactivated you should be able to use the email

[raw igloo]

I already have an account i use for djing, but as it's now with the dj program i want a separate account for non copyright content (synthesizer playing)

the other was before it when i was just a viewer (but I let it go inactive)

[frail socket]

Yeah just make a new account? I don’t see the problem

[raw igloo]

gotr rickdawson as my dj account. djrickdawson my original account inactive

iirc it was difficult to get a similar username that ppl would recognise.

(so they know it's me)

system was rejecting usernames not used.

not allowing me

[frail socket]

Yeah. I don’t think Twitch will give you that inactive account back but you can give it a try

Real only option is making a new account and getting a name close but is allowed by twitch

[raw igloo]

just tried again. (opening a ticket)

difference being the dj program is now here.

and they do mention second accounts for dj stuff.

[raw igloo]

yeah. will probably have to try and find a username that works

[tawny thunder]

hi

[pallid falcon]

Where did the float channel go

[violet moth]

Hello from finland

[harsh quartz]

Floated away

[pallid falcon]

😦

[harsh quartz]

Either that or it sunk

[azure grove]

I refuse to believe it sank. It’s too buoyant

[harsh quartz]

I stepped on it and it immediately sank

[pallid falcon]

I don't like public chat (screams)

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/gup-risk-of-rain2-cry-about-it-ror2-gif-25523830

[azure grove]

Public doesn’t have as good recipes

[harsh quartz]

WOW that’s censored?

Has floatplane chat been… removed?

[azure grove]

We still have #pilot-toast

[harsh quartz]

How does no access help you?

[azure grove]

Wym?

[harsh quartz]

We can’t see those channels so they all show up as no access :p

[azure grove]

Ah

[austere shale]

So, if I’m mainly wanting a vr headset for games like vtol vr would it be more worth it to get a used quest 3 or valve index?

[azure grove]

Well, so we do still have some exclusive channels for floatplane then @pallid falcon

[harsh quartz]

Smh, they took away the only reason to sub to floatplane

[azure grove]

I haven’t extensively used either, but I believe index has better screen, and more compatibility, especially with steam, than quest, however, quest has a lot onboard, so it may be worthwhile for you

[austere shale]

Yea, the biggest upside to the quest seems to be that I can use it wireless. Idk if I will for latency reasons and the fact that my headphones are wired but it would be nice to have the option

[azure grove]

https://vr-compare.com/compare?h1=0q3goALzg&h2=0jLuwg808-j

This seems like a good comparison for you

[harsh quartz]

Get a Vision Pro

Have yall seen/heard anything about a Vision Pro since like, 2 weeks after it came out?

[azure grove]

Do you have a decent pc to go with it?

[austere shale]

Yes PC is a non-factor

[azure grove]

Mac address has made a vid or two, but rn, I think apple is either going for making a cheaper model, probably vision non-pro, if they follow their naming scheme 🤞 . That or the so called “Apple Glass”

[austere shale]

Well shit, the quest 3 I can get prescription lenses for my blind ass

My eyes dry out so fast wearing contacts with a vr headset

[pallid falcon]

No

[azure grove]

As a fellow contact wearer, I sympathize with you. That feature alone might be worth the quest

[austere shale]

Yeaaa, that might do it ngl, and they’re only like $50

[azure grove]

That, and the body tracking from the cams rather than external marker. I think right now, the pick is quest 3

[azure grove]

I’m not a wizard, I promise

[pallid falcon]

Your a puma

[azure grove]

Lmao

Can you see #pilot-toast @pallid falcon

[austere shale]

Yea that’s not bad, I am seeing them on marketplace for as low as $300 so that might be the move

[pallid falcon]

Oo now I can yay

I updated my app :3

random question what ever happened between linus and bitwit i knew they did colabs in the past and i noticed on floatplane bitwit never uploads or hasn't for the past year.
i know he had a shift in Youtube algorithom since the seperation but i was just wondering if something happened or he just moved on from doing things with LTT?

i was watching the past scrapyard wars and was reminded of him

hello guys

[stiff wasp]

Hi so I can get rid of the pop up

[unique flicker]

could someone please help me choose a mouse and keyboard i just kinda bought a pc and definitely need help

[stiff wasp]

What are you looking for?

[vapid smelt]

https://www.rtings.com/mouse/tools/table https://www.rtings.com/keyboard/tools/table

[unique flicker]

well i was at my brothers playing at his pc like a month ago and he had a g502 it felt really good in my hands bcs i have bigger hands but everywhere i look people say to not get this one

[polar fern]

Logitech B100

$7 usd

[unique flicker]

i really like the design I've there's a better mouse with a place for your thumb like the g502 i would like that

[stiff wasp]

@polar fern you live in the Netherlands?

[polar fern]

G402 is good

No.

[stiff wasp]

Anywhere in Europe? Since you can both use bikes and transit

[polar fern]

No.

[unique flicker]

g402 seems good its like 20 bucks where i live

[polar fern]

I live in Pennsylvania literally just outside Philadelphia

[fossil frost]

g502 is the king of mouse design

[unique flicker]

yeah right it felt super good in my hand

[polar fern]

I don’t like the weird thumb tab support thing on the 502

[stiff wasp]

Is there okay bike infrastructure?

[polar fern]

Nope

[vapid smelt]

we have roads

[unique flicker]

I've heard that I'm gonna get double clicl problems tho

[fossil frost]

im on my 3rd one now (had the g502 wired, then the g502 hero wired, and now the g502 hero lightspeed)

[granite tinsel]

G pro X superlight 2 is the gold standard... even if logitech didn't do too much to update it, the superlight 1 is so good that it doesn't matter

[fossil frost]

too small for me

[unique flicker]

I'm not looking to spend over 50 bucks for the mouse

[granite tinsel]

if you wanna be bolder, the razer viper V3 pro is basically the best all-rounder gaming mouse on the market for FPS games, provided you think its ergonomics are better than the superlight's

[polar fern]

If you want to know about our bike infrastructure here in Southeastern Pennsylvania, just take a look here: https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/bicyclist-killed-rittenhouse-square-identified-chop-doctor-barbara-friedes/

[granite tinsel]

me, i'm kicking myself because i hastily replaced my dying roccat burst pro with a superlight 1 literally right before the superlight 2 dropped

but i'm not about to spend another C$200 for 4000Hz and USB-C

[vapid smelt]

shouldnt be in the road smh

[stiff wasp]

Unsafe bicycle infrastructure is the lead word in American society but that’s politics and I won’t get into it

[granite tinsel]

or 8000Hz in the viper's case

[unique flicker]

but this one doesn't have the thumb placement and also over 50 😥

[fossil frost]

theres no cycling infrastructure in the uk, doesnt stop people from cycling... "theres no special path for us" is just an excuse

[polar fern]

I’ve been using a G402 for literal multiple years and it is very good even with my large hands.

The cyclist was in the bike lane, not on the road

Maybe read the article

[granite tinsel]

lightweight mice are the way to go for FPS games — or heck if you're just playing for extended periods

[unique flicker]

when i use mouse without thumb placement my hand feels sore after an hour of playing so that's like a big thing for me

[granite tinsel]

less weight means less exertion

[polar fern]

Unless you’re doing hyper focused super intense games it’s not going to matter

[unique flicker]

does it really matter when i play on a lot of sensitivity tho cuz i do

[granite tinsel]

yeah, the UK, where the roads are narrow and the speed limits are 20mph

[fossil frost]

yeah, and i was hit while in the bike lane too... tore my calf, tore the ligaments and tendons in my knee, tore ligaments in my hip, broke 2 ribs and lost a bunch of skin...

[stiff wasp]

Thanks

[fossil frost]

limits are 30 in built up areas, 40-60 most other areas (where the roads are even narrower)

[granite tinsel]

you don't need dedicated bike infrastructure if the roads are designed to make the cars drive at safe speeds

guess what: 90% of american roads are not designed that way

[polar fern]

Funny how people always complain about bicycles on the road when bicycles were there first and cyclist organizations are the ones that got roads improved in the first place

[crisp notch]

eek

[vapid smelt]

dont yall have bike lanes big enough for ambulances to drive in?

[granite tinsel]

yes they do

by design, too

[polar fern]

@vapid smelt not just bikes 😎

[fossil frost]

you dont need bike infrastructure if drivers are educated on cycling, and it isnt demonised by the media... unfortunately cycling in the uk is demonised and seen as "a scourge on drivers"

[granite tinsel]

you never get that in north america; instead the fire departments screech when the roads are not wide enough to fit their obese trucks, never mind the fact that cars have a much harder time getting out of the way of emergency vehicles than bikes and pedestrians

[fossil frost]

yes, they are called "the road" 🙂

[polar fern]

https://youtu.be/j2dHFC31VtQ

[fossil frost]

i was back on the bike about a week later... running took about another 4 months though

[granite tinsel]

no, there are literal bike paths in the UK—like, actually bikes only—that are wide enough for ambulances and fire engines, and they use them

the video transitbiker just posted shows it

[polar fern]

The UK canals also have multi use paths which cyclists take advantage of quite frequently

[crisp notch]

bike lanes sound nice, i have a dirt path, a gravel road and if im lucky an asphalt sidewalk

[stiff wasp]

There is definitely bike paths in the uk. Only in Stockholm there are 900km of bike paths

[crisp notch]

oof

[granite tinsel]

uhhhhhh i have a bus lane

[fossil frost]

i live in the uk, and i can tell you, the bike paths that we do have, are about 1m wide, nowhere near enough to fit any motor vehicle down at all

[granite tinsel]

and then my district advertises itself to the rest of the city as "naturally bikeable"

[polar fern]

In Many jurisdictions cyclists are allowed to use the bus lane

[vapid smelt]

i just use the sidewalk

[unique flicker]

my brother is also telling me to get the g502 @fossil frost you might be right

[granite tinsel]

are you going to actually watch the video or are you going to just keep assuming the world revolves around your viewpoint

[unique flicker]

I'm just scared of double clicking problems

[polar fern]

I used to ride on the sidewalk and on the shoulder and then I realized that this was dangerous and was putting holes in my tires

[granite tinsel]

i got a bike in 2018 and just gave up after like a few months of trying to make it work

[polar fern]

So I started just riding in the lane and people just had to deal with it because I have a right to use the road just like they do

[vapid smelt]

no more holes for me

[granite tinsel]

because the first thing i have to do when i leave my house is go down a horrendously wide 5-lane collector road with a 20% grade that the cars go 70km/h down

cyclists and skateboarders have actually died on that hill.

[polar fern]

My bike is already heavy enough. I definitely don’t need more weight in the tires.

[granite tinsel]

i'm not doing that shit, no matter how much bizzehdee tells me "nah it's fine just ride with the giant trucks and SUVs going 70km/h"

[fossil frost]

just seen the clip, thats in manchester, about 10 miles from where i live, that is 1. multi-use path, 2. a 2 way cycle lane, 3. about 500 metres long, and 4. not the normal thing, thats a very very very limited amount of bike paths

[stiff wasp]

And that’s the problem with North American roads

[polar fern]

I have done that a whole bunch and it’s really not for everyone especially people who just want to get from one place to another and aren’t up for competing with other vehicles like that

[fossil frost]

the thing is... i live in the UK, not just the UK, specifically the city that was in that video

[granite tinsel]

literally safer to walk; there's at least a narrow sidewalk with a questionably-efficient curb, but it's better than literally being on the road with the cars

i say questionably efficient because on occasions i've seen cars stuck in the ditch next to the sidewalk that clearly were able to jump the curb

but still better than nothing

just gotta pray one of these days i don't happen to be in the path of one of those cars when it goes over the curb :)

[polar fern]

I definitely discourage anyone from riding a bicycle on any sidewalk because they are not engineered for wheeled vehicles like a bicycle. Heck even rollerblades can be questionable..

[fossil frost]

what you didnt see is, the 4 lane dual carriage way that was at either end of that token bit of multi use path

[granite tinsel]

"""""naturally bikeable"""""

[stiff wasp]

I have ridden on bike paths wide as 2 car lanes(4m) It was amazing

[fossil frost]

40mph speed limit, for cars just coming off the motorway, which has a 70mph speed limit, so rarely actually doing the 40mph limit

[granite tinsel]

that's exactly what this road is like

[polar fern]

These people mentioning naturally biking can fit my bike naturally up their 🍑

[granite tinsel]

it provides a direct connection between the inter-provincial highway and the bridge to downtown

[polar fern]

Sounds like a double horseshoe overpass is needed for the spot you’re talking about

[fossil frost]

ive cycled all over the uk... i can tell you from experience, the cycling infrastructure is shockingly terrible, or it doesnt exist at all... so dont come at me with a single clip of a single piece of path in a single city, and try to hold that up as an example of what the entire UK is like, because it certainly isnt like that

[granite tinsel]

the nimbys would object because it'd look ugly

and property values

and ew cyclists, what are you, poor?

[polar fern]

A double horseshoe can allow people to make U-turns on a road without a safe crossing, and it can also help people cross the road in the same direction

[fossil frost]

there is an overpass, but its an A(M) road, so cars only

it spans most of the city

[crisp notch]

yes, very

[fossil frost]

yes, very, because my bike cost more than most peoples car

[granite tinsel]

as nice as its islands of walkability are, i fucking hate living here and want to move out... if only the property values didn't make that prospect impossible

[sinful dome]

Can I get a three fan aio even though I only have a vent that’s big enough for 2

[vapid smelt]

you can get anything you want

[granite tinsel]

you mean like a 360mm?

[fossil frost]

yes, but you will need a hacksaw to make it fit

[polar fern]

Yep… Well I have to wake up at the buttcrack of dawn to drive a half hour away to take my girlfriend’s car to get serviced for the first time since she bought it so I best get to bed.

[granite tinsel]

ya

[fossil frost]

it wont work, but it will fit

[granite tinsel]

anyway i'm more of a transit advocate than a cycling advocate... that said i think both are needed, of course

[crisp notch]

or you could just leave it outside the case 🤷

[fossil frost]

can we at least hope that its relatively new? or, is it 15 years old and shes never thought about looking after it until you made her?

[granite tinsel]

but... well, y'know what they say—you become a radical urbanist from going to either amsterdam or tokyo, and for me it was tokyo

i fucking love trains

[vapid smelt]

id rather have less suvs and trucks then have more bike lanes

[polar fern]

Her car is a plug-in hybrid, which was never sold in Pennsylvania, so I have to take it all the way to a place in New Jersey where they were sold and where the car was originally purchased.

[stiff wasp]

Or you could have both in Copenhagen

[sinful dome]

Is an aio worth it if my pc makes my room hot?

[polar fern]

The problem to begin with is building housing far away from work school and commerce.

[fossil frost]

tbh, fewer SUVs and trucks, you wouldnt need dedicated bike lanes, since the majority of the danger of being on the road would be gone

[granite tinsel]

that heat's either gonna be in the PC or in your room; probably better to let it dissipate into the larger area

[fossil frost]

any cooler is designed to remove heat from the pc, and put it into the room

[granite tinsel]

if your PC isn't super powerful there's nothing to worry about

meanwhile me living in a 4-square-metre room with a 5900X and 6800XT

[vapid smelt]

yeah then we can crash on the hood and not get sucked under the suv

[granite tinsel]

or get doored!

[fossil frost]

similar size, with a 5950x and 6750xt AND a 13950HX + 3070 😄

[stiff wasp]

The pedestrian car impact of suv and pickup trucks is terrible

[granite tinsel]

it takes only about 30 minutes of playing ZZZ with the door closed for my room to get 2C hotter

[fossil frost]

more drivers would be sat lower down, closer to the road, making someone on a bike, more visible, and they cant use the excuse of "i didnt see them", fewer vehicles on the road in general

[granite tinsel]

this is why i'm glad that i have a macbook for general desktop use now

now i only boil myself alive when i'm gaming

just as god intended

[fossil frost]

main thing the UK needs to do though is enforce the actual laws that are already on the books... kill somebody with a knife? 25 years in jail... kill multiple people with your car? 2 years suspended + retake your driving test

[granite tinsel]

i mean hey, BC has a law requiring drivers to keep at least 1m away from cyclists on the road; 1.5m if it's more than 30km/h

and it will never be enforced; it will only be used to book drivers after they kill somebody

[vapid smelt]

the few times i drove my pops ram 1500 i had my brother be my motorcycle spotter cause i cant see them if they are on my passanger side right beside me

[fossil frost]

1.5m in the uk, and almost nobody follows it... but... almost all police forces now allow you to submit dashcam footage of close passes... and any close pass that is unavoidable, results in a £280 fine. any close pass that is deemed dangerous, 6 points and a £1000 fine

[unique flicker]

can i find a good keyboard for like 60-70bucks

[fossil frost]

i submit footage for 3-4 drivers every time i go out on the bike

[fossil frost]

unfortunately, most people wouldnt do that, they would just turn across them and drive right over them, and then drive off and not care

[late ginkgo]

Hello, i have a question for a discussion .. I want to build a pc and i want an AMD cpu, but is it better to go high end AM4 or low end AM5 ? what is the preformance to price ratio ??

[wispy marsh]

Find me a low end AM5 CPU

[late ginkgo]

well I ment entery lvl ...

[wispy marsh]

Find me an entry level AM5 CPU

[fossil frost]

AM5 will be supported longer, so if you buy a lower/mid range cpu now, you are free to put the new am5 cpu in next year, or the year after if you want an upgrade... no such luck with AM4, since they are not making any new more powerful AM4s

[wispy marsh]

AMD intentionally released zero low end AM5 CPUs

But if you're looking at a 7600X...

[fossil frost]

because their mid range ones are still priced better than Intels low end, and are more efficient than intels low end too

[manic torrent]

Basically.... If you are struggling with budget, am4 is ok, but if you are aiming at upgrading later and have a bit more core budget, 100% am5

[wispy marsh]

I bought my AM4 system recently

[fossil frost]

honestly, if budget was an issue, i would wait an extra month or 2 until the budget is big enough to go AM5

[late ginkgo]

i have a good deal on a pc using b550 gaming x mobo with a ryzen 5 3600x, and I can't decide is it better to upgrade that one or to go and buy new AM5 .. i did not specfy it in my question

[wispy marsh]

The 5800X3D has lasted me a solid one year and the X570i, almost four years

[manic torrent]

Nah I mean if you're poor, basically

[wispy marsh]

Oh, shit.

I bought my system recently.

My scale of time has changed.

[fossil frost]

ah ok, yeah, if you literally cannot afford anything at all other than the am4 system, am4 isnt gonna be a let down..

[wispy marsh]

Yes, I'm 30 today onwards

[manic torrent]

I bought a system in 2020. I've been through multiple CPU, ram, motherboard, case, GPU and storage upgrades since.

[wispy marsh]

Creaky old bones

Bob, you too

[fossil frost]

my age also starts with a 3 (for now)

bob's age starts with a 7 i think... 😄

[manic torrent]

Lol I'm over 40, I'm basically dead

[wispy marsh]

At which point does it stop being a PC and start being a PC2?

[manic torrent]

Click all parts of the ship of theseus

[late ginkgo]

when microsoft buys hardware industrie, then we get PC360

[fossil frost]

as long as you never replaced everything at the same time, literally throwing it out and starting with a new pc all at the same time... its the same pc

[manic torrent]

What if there's zero parts in common with a previous version

[fossil frost]

if it was incrementally upgraded over time, its still the same pc, if it was wholesale replaced at one point, its a new pc

[manic torrent]

Actually that's not the case, I still have the same 1tb SSD.

[manic torrent]

What if it was a new case, PSU, mobo, CPU, but I carried over video card and storage and made my old system my server

[late ginkgo]

then the PC is still the same, but the server is new server2

[fossil frost]

depends how you built it 😁, but i would say that PC went through a cell division, like a bacteria, and now exists as 2 clones of its self

[wispy marsh]

See, there's song 1, song 2, song 3, song 4 written by different bands

[ember fiber]

That's a lot of money for memes 😂

[grim belfry]

like $400/year

Cheaper than alcohol/drugs

[ember fiber]

Oh that's pretty good. Average of $6 a year then.

[grim belfry]

lmao

[harsh quartz]

What if you use no alcohol/drugs?

[grim belfry]

You buy domains

It's not optional

[harsh quartz]

What if I do none of the above

[grim belfry]

Freak of nature

[ember fiber]

You have money

[harsh quartz]

I also do not have money

[viscid elm]

you can buy many computers

[grim belfry]

It's a write off

[viscid elm]

i have money now

[ember fiber]

So get a job, bc if you don't spend money but don't have money, that means you don't make money

[grim marten]

i think it time to build another pc

[turbid oriole]

Biblically accurate microcontroller

[tired glade]

You kinda see artifacts

[full fossil]

I've had the original, the 7, and the 13. I'm not used to iOS but it wouldn't be exactly easy for me to move away from it

[raven holly]

3950x +4080 super or
7950x3d and 4070ti?

Which would you guys buy, I can get both for same price

[graceful burrow]

7950x3d and it isn't close

[viscid elm]

7800X3D and 7900XTX

[dusky jacinth]

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Stayin' alive, stayin' alive~!"

Domains can be really cheap if you’re willing to have a domain like 748378.xyz or 7384927.xyz, I think I’m paying like 80 cents a year or something for one

[zenith junco]

bread🍞

[plush trellis]

I took my pc to the shop because i was having issues beyond my knowledge and they are saying the “cpu is dead” thats not a common issue is it?

[grim belfry]

but why would I want one of those domains lmao

I'm a connoisseur

[unique spoke]

For home services

[grim belfry]

Yes, so my email is just [e-mail]

Lmao

[unique spoke]

Like jellyfin.123456.xyz or home.123456.xyz

[graceful burrow]

Depends on the cpu

[plush trellis]

Ryzen 5 7600x

[grim belfry]

Stuff like that just use .local or manually add it to your DNS

[unique spoke]

But no real ssl cert and you can’t use cloudflare tunnel

[plush trellis]

I built it 1 year ago

[graceful burrow]

Did you oc

[grim belfry]

Hmmm

Or you could just get a sensical domain name

[unique spoke]

Which costs more

[grim belfry]

For most TLDs, pricing is the same regardless, unless it's a private sale

[graceful burrow]

Buy a domain from Cloudflare lol

[unique spoke]

123456.xyz domains are cheap af, 80 cents per year

[grim belfry]

Looks like .xyz is special and sells number domains at 90% off

[graceful burrow]

Probably because nobody wants them

[grim belfry]

Idk I'd rather have something that makes sense

surname.com.au

[graceful burrow]

I like aldonist.party

[grim belfry]

lol

[graceful burrow]

I'll be liking a different domain in the next few months

[unique spoke]

Yeah, 1.111B domains iirc

[grim belfry]

Just use an IP lmao it's easier

[graceful burrow]

Yeah lemme put a raw ip in my bio and tell people to click it

I surely won't get banned

[grim belfry]

They were using it for "home services" so it's not like it'll be in their bio

[graceful burrow]

For home services I just use the ip and the port its on since all my services are on the same ip

[grim belfry]

You can make cloudflare tunnels without a domain

[grim belfry]

Reverse proxy with .local domains

[pure knoll]

Cop or drop?

What do we think @grim belfry

[graceful burrow]

I'm ballin as is tho

I'm waiting for HexOS

And redoing my entire nas setup

[grim belfry]

Not worth it at all

That's worth like $50

[pure knoll]

What ABT this?
https://www.trademe.co.nz/4875113105

This is also one I was looking at
https://www.amazon.com/Projector-Bluetooth-Synchronize-Smartphone-Compatible/dp/B09813LFNK?_encoding=UTF8&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

[grim belfry]

Kinda sorta not really

[pure knoll]

Ok

What about the Chinese groview

[bold brook]

ayo, what's the general consensus on what AIB manufacturer is making the best 40 series cards, specifically the 4070 Super?

[pure knoll]

Is that like a luxury casaos lol

[graceful burrow]

Evga

[grim belfry]

May as well go to Ali

[bold brook]

i'm left a bit clueless after the loss of EVGA

[unique spoke]

Sorry, some people have dynamic IPs

[graceful burrow]

It's built on top of truenas and ltt gave them a lot of money

[pure knoll]

I heard people like the groview from reviews, do you know what to look for on ali

[grim belfry]

Sounds like a bit of an L

[pure knoll]

Talking ABT truenas, those bitches scrapped the quick app store

[unique spoke]

One that can be solved for very cheap

[graceful burrow]

My nas has an app repository

[bold brook]

you can get a free dynamic dns resolution service

[graceful burrow]

Truenas scale

[bold brook]

there's literally countless ones available

[pure knoll]

Yes they dropped the repo

[grim belfry]

[pure knoll]

#w nat

[pure knoll]

Don't you think Ali will be shotty quality with lack of proper reviews? Groview is pretty respectable. I might look at some optoma 2nd hands

[graceful burrow]

You should double check your info

[pure knoll]

Is 1280x800 svga fine resolution

[grim belfry]

Amazon is just as bad as Aliexpress for reviews

[pure knoll]

Are you on latest

[pure knoll]

Watched on yt and reddit

[bold brook]

be real careful if you dont know what you are looking for on aliexpress. even if you do know what you are looking for, lol

[grim belfry]

Find the same model on Aliexpress

[unique spoke]

Can be faked as well

[grim belfry]

Or just go for Amazon

[pure knoll]

I'll try

[pure knoll]

500k subs ig idk

[pure knoll]

Second hand not worth it?

Also is 1280x800 okay resolution and is 1080x784 okay too at 3:4?

[bold brook]

could be, it's the type of item that people can often buy on a whim and then realize they'd rather not have it

[grim belfry]

All your options are crap, but one you can return

[unique spoke]

Some channels will take money and say whatever the company wants them to, so who knows

[pure knoll]

Very valid

[bold brook]

but, if something goes wrong you are screwed

[grim belfry]

Those Epsons were shit brand new, let alone now

[pure knoll]

No way lol

[pure knoll]

Heard they reputable, what brands are good

[grim belfry]

Reputable != good

[pure knoll]

Okey

[grim belfry]

Projectors are more expensive than comparable TVs for sizes under like 80"

[pure knoll]

https://www.trademe.co.nz/4873054664 I mean there this

[unique spoke]

Tbh unless you have a very good reason to go with a projector instead of a TV, a projector is probably a bad idea

[pure knoll]

I want to fill my 3m wide wall

I have a 4k OLED 92" in my living room alresdy

[dark saffron]

This is the route I'm looking to go for my next washer/dryer once our current basic LGs die. It's between GE, Samsung and Miele

[grim belfry]

Have you done throw calculations for these? You'll need a pretty big room for that optoma lmao

[pure knoll]

No, rarely do I do throw calcs, my bed where I'm planning to place the projector under is 3m from the wall

So I need abt a 1.1 ratio

[dark saffron]

Trying to go from a 15PM to a Pixel 9 Pro XL currently. Hope I don't come back but who knows. Just need some new tech in my life

[pure knoll]

Did I send this one?
https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/electronics-photography/projectors-screens/projectors/listing/4874034995

Oh yeah Ig there's this

Way out of my budget tho

[grim belfry]

I bought a Flip 6 today, coming on Monday lol

[pure knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/emoji-social-credit-gif-14820509073990918313

[grim belfry]

The Optoma x855 has a throw ratio of ~1.5

[pure knoll]

I feel like searching for a projector on AliExpress is like searching through a junkyard to find a working car

[unique spoke]

Oh, you can find a working projector easily on Aliexpress, I kinda want one of those mini ones, though idk how well they’d work

[pure knoll]

They are propablt not even 720p and have 4.56 percent sRGB

Basically after a few days, they all break

I'm looking at the groview now

I kind of want to buy trusted brand second hand now

Loud fan, shitty lcd

Overheating

@grim belfry Know any good brands that have old projectors which are good to scour trademe

Honestly Watching CyberpunkEdgerunners On An OLED Is Life Changing

[unique spoke]

Most people have at least one OLED display

[viscid elm]

more like amoled

[glass mural]

For me it’s my phone

[unique spoke]

Same thing

[pure knoll]

That's looks good @grim belfry , just need to figure out whether shipping is under 100 dollsrs

[glass mural]

iPhone 14 sure it ain’t 4K but it’s still nice

[grim belfry]

AMOLED is just marketing gobbledy goop

[viscid elm]

thats more common on phones aka why i said it

[pure knoll]

Also bid kinda mehmeh

[grim belfry]

Every consumer OLED is an AMOLED display

[grim belfry]

Message the seller, say $450 done today

[glass mural]

Do studios design their content to be viewed on OLEDs?

[unique spoke]

4K alone means not much, on a display of that size, 4K is overkill

[grim belfry]

It's literally just marketing gobbeldy goop

[viscid elm]

PPI

[pure knoll]

Inc. shipping to NZ cuz that's what id pay
Howboutthis?
https://www.trademe.co.nz/4877766723

[dark saffron]

LOL did you?! So I'm not alone in being bored with iPhone then it seems

[grim belfry]

I just want a flippable that has iOS lmao

[glass mural]

But there are a bunch of small details you could more easily see on a 4K display

[grim belfry]

Aliexpress tier

[pure knoll]

Valid

[glass mural]

But I don’t care it’s good enough for me

[dark saffron]

That would be awesome

[grim belfry]

I still am unsure about OneUI

[pure knoll]

Is this the eBay one?
https://www.trademe.co.nz/4870062248

[grim belfry]

It'll take some getting used too

[hearty spear]

the iphone 14 is nearly a 1440p display: 2532x1170
Pro is a bit higher: 2556x1179

Both are 460ppi displays

[dark saffron]

Front of mine has been using the OP Fold for awhile now and loves it

[glass mural]

99% chance Apple makes the hinge break after 2 years

[grim belfry]

Similar

[grim belfry]

So the same as all foldables 😛

[glass mural]

But it doesn’t fit with how Apple operates

[bleak crow]

it's hard to make a hinge not break.

[pure knoll]

It ain't it bro, it ain't it

[pure knoll]

My z flip 1 screen broke before the hinge (phone that screenie was taken on)

[glass mural]

True so that’s why I doubt they will make a foldable

[bleak crow]

I had 0 issues with my 5 or my 6 so far

[hearty spear]

moving parts break. It's kinda how the world operates.

[bleak crow]

but the 3 and 4 i did have issues with

samsung has improved the tech for sure, tho

[glass mural]

I shoulda gotten an iPhone 13 Pro

Same resolution and it’s a 120Hz panel that’s adaptive

[grim belfry]

It looks to me like it's finally viable as a daily driver

[unique spoke]

iPhone 12 display:

[bleak crow]

I've DD'd one for 4 years now

but yes, the 5 and 6 I had 0 issues with

6 so far**

[grim belfry]

Yeah, you know what I mean though?

[glass mural]

Notch:

[unique spoke]

You can’t see much extra detail at a display of that size with an extra resolution

[bleak crow]

the 4 and 3 I both had to get the screen replaced by Samsung because of hinge issues.

[pure knoll]

I saw this listing you may be interested in: BenQ W1070 3D 1080p Projector https://www.trademe.co.nz/4878305458

[bleak crow]

absolutely!

[pure knoll]

My one turned black apart from two green lines

[unique spoke]

For purposes of calculating PPI, it doesn’t matter

[grim belfry]

They seem to no longer be in public beta the last two or three years lol

[bleak crow]

yeah, they have to run power through the hinge, that sounds like yours had the same issue as mine

[pure knoll]

@grim belfry

[bleak crow]

the phone is fine, but the screen dies because the hinge cables get fucked up

[grim belfry]

Yeah probably fine

[unique spoke]

My monitor is a lot less sharp

[pure knoll]

Cheapest BenQ lol

[bleak crow]

on another note, was watching WAN recently, and it's funny how Linus and Luke almost always jive except when Luke talks about coding or Linus talks about something Luke is similarly uninterested in

Like Linus has neverrrrr cared about coding that much

[hearty spear]

about the same as a 24" 1080, or 32" 1440

[bleak crow]

27" 1440 FTW

My main monitor currently is a Samsung 27" 1440P 165Hz one

I cannot stand curved monitors and it was one of the best options for a flat one

[unique spoke]

Because it is a 24” 1080, but wide

[hearty spear]

my work laptop is a 4K 16" oled

[bleak crow]

16" 4K XD
