[minor vale]

yeah im hoping i didnt make it unusable

[barren seal]

What actaully happened?

[minor vale]

well uh

i went to windows storage settings, went to my hard drive and just deleted it

[flat rain]

Why?

[marble fossil]

haiii all ❤️

[grim belfry]

Very time consuming for no benefit

[smoky badge]

#public-chat message

[snow hamlet]

good deal for 1k?

[neat gull]

Hey, somebody ping me if you have a lian li case

[smoky badge]

why

[neat gull]

I need to figure out the warranty on mine

I don’t have the serial number with me so I can’t search it up

One of my case fans broke without me touching it

[cedar oak]

lian li puts serial number in the case or on the back depending on the case.

[thorn briar]

I mean its not amazing, its 9th gen intel, rtx 3080 is like 400 now I think

they spent far too much on that psu

thats like a 300 dollar psu right there lol

[snow hamlet]

yeah but for me should i get or or nah lol

[thorn briar]

(brand new I mean)

[neat gull]

I know, but I don’t have it right now

[snow hamlet]

maybe resell the psu later on

[thorn briar]

its hard to say

[grim belfry]

That PSU will last you more than a decade

[thorn briar]

you wont beable to not easily anyways, psus drop in value faster than hdd in my opinion

yeah that too

[snow hamlet]

can i build a better setup for the same price?

[thorn briar]

cpu is about 100, id say mobo is probably between 100 and 300 dollars

you could possibly, but you might need to use used parts

you'd also need to look for parts that make sense, like not buying a 300 dollar psu lol

but also not buying some greatwall powersupply thats just looking like a firehazard

case can be anywhere from why is this case more than some new cars to why is this case free its amazing

your big issue would be mobo cpu, and your gpu for the main costs though

[loud rune]

How do I post on the tech support tab?

[pallid falcon]

With a keyboard

[thorn briar]

id suggest 4th gen ryzen (ryzen 5000) simply because while their is no support for later gen cpus the 5800x3d is an amazing chip, as for the gpu,

[neat gull]

Will PowerColor be oh so nice and give me a better GPU from the RMA

🙏🙏

[thorn briar]

gpu you probably can get a 4070 used for 500 bucks

non super, its not amazing its probably about on par with a 3080 but with more vram

[smoky badge]

You can’t forget a mouse

[thorn briar]

hey you dont know if they're using a windows 95 or 98 os

they dont need a mouse for those os'

[smoky badge]

Ughhh

[thorn briar]

:p

[neat gull]

If I asked for a 7000 series, would that be too much of an ask if I gave them a 6700xt

[thorn briar]

depends im sure they'd love to send you a 7600

or a 7500

sorry 7500 xt

[neat gull]

Didn’t even know 7500s exist

[full fossil]

Hi!

[neat gull]

I thought it was 7600 and up

[thorn briar]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-7500-xt.c4116

[marble fossil]

i have a question to peeps with more brain then me cuz me stupid when i am choosing parts for my pc , i curentlly have MS Hulk midi tower , in it i have Asus prime x370-a , ryzen 5600 and geforce 3060 windforce 12gb, and i have patriot viper 4*4gb 2800mhz , i want to change ram , i know there is couple of sites there to search for it like pcpartpicker and such but i want live reccomendation for RAM memory that will fit for my board, and that i will have on stock in my coutry, will apriciate any help ❤️

[thorn briar]

its a placeholder card

[neat gull]

Meaning

Until I get a new one?

[thorn briar]

I think it ended up becoming the rx 7400 which is a bad deal card

[vapid smelt]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yRJNRK

[minor vale]

so to get my drive back do i need to factory reset windows

[covert cradle]

I don't actually recommend this build, I just made it to be a comparison: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2vVLh3
You could buy all new parts besides the GPU and get something similar for less money

[barren seal]

No, go to format and partition drives utility

[minor vale]

it keeps saying i can't format it

[barren seal]

Reason?

[minor vale]

let me check again

[thorn briar]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fq49fy

from @covert cradle build list they didn't recommend, this is slightly less crappy and should be close to the 1.1k spend range with a 3080

[smoky badge]

[thorn briar]

could save a few bucks from there and buy a sata ssd for the 2tb drive

or if you dont care at all about speeds a larger hdd for about the same

[minor vale]

odd this isnt even the issue it gave me before

[thorn briar]

wrong formatted set

[graceful burrow]

What was on the drive before

[thorn briar]

its like its a mbr and needs to be gpr or something

(I forgot the other one sorry)

[minor vale]

just like games and stuff

[thorn briar]

gpt sorry

[minor vale]

pretty much all my stuff

[graceful burrow]

That wouldn't cause that error

[graceful burrow]

Are you looking to recover anything?

[minor vale]

nah

just want the drive to work again i can redownload whatever i need

[graceful burrow]

Open up the windows partition manager window and send a screenshot of the whole window

[minor vale]

here one sec

this is the issue it kept giving me before

[thorn briar]

you need to open the partition manager todo anything

its not the same as a flashdrive

[minor vale]

is this the partition manager

[thorn briar]

yeah currently its raw, raw is unusable

[minor vale]

how do i cook it

[graceful burrow]

Right click the blue bar and send a screenshot of the context menu

The blue bar on f:

Make sure it's the blue bar on F:
Like absolutely 100% sure

[thorn briar]

meanwhile my pc saying fu for having like 10 different drives connected lol

[minor vale]

what's the context menu

[graceful burrow]

The right click menu is the context menu

[minor vale]

oh mb lol

[thorn briar]

I cant post pics lol

[graceful burrow]

Format

And then send a screenshot

[thorn briar]

I think its delete volume and remake it but try to format it first and see

[thorn briar]

there you go

[graceful burrow]

Name it something silly in volume label and hit ok

[noble mesa]

what is the best chat to ask for some js help?

[graceful burrow]

#development

[noble mesa]

thank you!

[minor vale]

✅

[graceful burrow]

Hell yeah hit ok

[covert cradle]

pray to the machine spirit, cause it's fucking JS /j

[minor vale]

done and done

just to throw it out there

[thorn briar]

//am I doing this right C#?

[graceful burrow]

What does it show now I can't remember if anything comes after that

[minor vale]

tried doing this last night and left it formatting for 8 hours and it didnt finish

[graceful burrow]

Interesting

[minor vale]

oh wow cool

[graceful burrow]

Did it work

[thorn briar]

probably

[minor vale]

it said "format could not complete successfully"

[graceful burrow]

Interesting for sure

[thorn briar]

ok

[grim belfry]

Linux time

[graceful burrow]

Delete the volume

[thorn briar]

yeah I deserve that lol

[graceful burrow]

Theres still one thing to try

Right click the blue bar on f: and delete the volume

[minor vale]

deleted

[thorn briar]

it all comes around to me :p

(watch its still not going to work

[graceful burrow]

New simple volume I think is the right context menu option iirc

[minor vale]

yeah

[graceful burrow]

Volume label something silly, ntfs, default allocation blah blah

[thorn briar]

wait

[covert cradle]

A full reset of the partition table is a third option that you can do on windows, though you can't do it in disk management. In diskpart:

sel disk 0
clean
clean
conv gpt

[viscid mason]

Just finished cable management and recording/editing some vids and now I’m watching the WAN show lol

[thorn briar]

no

its a primary partition you cant do that

[graceful burrow]

That was my next suggestion lmao

[minor vale]

and then do i smash the quick format button or somethin

[thorn briar]

you got to completely clear it

[graceful burrow]

Ye

[graceful burrow]

F: isn't a primary partition

[minor vale]

ok im getting mixed answered here

[thorn briar]

but windows thinks it is

look at his pic

[graceful burrow]

You're right actually

This might be a Linux live usb situation

[thorn briar]

well not nessicarily

[graceful burrow]

That's what I'd do but I'm comfy af with Linux kek

[thorn briar]

it can be done with cmd line but I haven't done this in like 10 years

[covert cradle]

diskpart will not care if you just clean

[minor vale]

ok just to make sure everyone knows whats going on

• i had a D drive
• it was tweaking so i deleted it
• i made a new volume and changed the letter to F just because
• F also sucks
• now we're here

and then fill in the gaps yk

[graceful burrow]

God I fucking hate windows

[minor vale]

i cant be bothered to switch to linux

[graceful burrow]

2025 year of the Linux desktop

[covert cradle]

same, clean should just be in the right click menu for the disk. They put convert gpt/mbr in there, idk why not clean...

[minor vale]

what do i do just trash my hard drive

[pliant karma]

lol that has been a lifesaver, rapid drive wiping mostly cooporate nvmes I salvage from laptops.

[thorn briar]

LOL its basically already here with all the bs microsoft is pulling now

[minor vale]

ok im kinda slow with this stuff what am i doing

[thorn briar]

because technically users would never think to do this apparently, its the same reason with microsoft fixing fat 32 to allow 2tb drives only will work in cmd line even though it could be implimented with their gui

[minor vale]

uh

[thorn briar]

ok basically

[graceful burrow]

open cmd as administrator and type diskpart

[thorn briar]

well apparently microsoft fixed this bug so we might not need diskpart

[minor vale]

just diskpart?

[graceful burrow]

yes

[minor vale]

alright

[pliant karma]

win+r also works

[thorn briar]

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/unused-ssd-as-primary-partition-in-disk-management/4242bf52-27ea-4be7-8f61-f87ab0309218

[graceful burrow]

and once that loads up type list disk

[minor vale]

okay smashed the enter button

[graceful burrow]

and send a screenshot

[covert cradle]

quick tip, it's all the same as disk management. They're pulling from the same source

[graceful burrow]

interesting

[thorn briar]

but yeah, used to be diskpart was the only way to fix it

[graceful burrow]

i didnt know that

[thorn briar]

I think it used to actually be you couldn't delete it

[graceful burrow]

what an good nugget of info for extremely specific situations lol

sel disk 0

[thorn briar]

ok

ill leave this to aldonist, you should have it

[minor vale]

it has ben selected

[graceful burrow]

type clean

[thorn briar]

night everyone

[minor vale]

ben!?

[graceful burrow]

wsg ben

whoever you are

[minor vale]

where my zawg ben at

i typed clean

im assuming its cleaning

[graceful burrow]

send screenie

[minor vale]

ooooo i got an error lets go

[graceful burrow]

well thats not good

what type of drive is this

[minor vale]

does my hard drive just have aids or something dude fuck

[minor vale]

its a hard one

[thorn briar]

hdd I assume

[minor vale]

yeah i think so

[thorn briar]

ok

[graceful burrow]

im out of suggestions outside of a linux usb and i dont have time to walk anyone through that (sorry)

[thorn briar]

convert it to gpt

[slender marsh]

Carter pcs annoys me

[minor vale]

dont worry i wouldnt have done it anyway

[thorn briar]

its not set to gpt

otherwise the * would be there

[graceful burrow]

shouldnt really matter but
fuck it lmao

[minor vale]

not sure how to do that

[graceful burrow]

convert gpt iirc

[minor vale]

erm

do i type that

[graceful burrow]

ye

[covert cradle]

it must be clean'd before you can run convert gpt. diskpart's convert gpt won't do drives that have partitions. Though maybe that clean did work and the error was after cleaning mostly worked

[minor vale]

not the iirc right

[graceful burrow]

not the iirc

[thorn briar]

its also possible its set to a wierd format windows doesn't recognize

[graceful burrow]

windows outright wouldnt show it in disk management then

[thorn briar]

well I was going to say not nessicarily, but in this case you're right as its broke lol

[minor vale]

im assuming my hard drive is completely broken and i need a new one?

[thorn briar]

no

its just windows being windows bs on the drive

[minor vale]

thank god

[thorn briar]

I say broke because I need to search it up

[graceful burrow]

there are things i would try personally but they're like
boot into a different os kek

[covert cradle]

you should reboot before doing anything else. The OS may not think the drive was cleaned when it actually was

[graceful burrow]

anyway it's space marines 2 time

[graceful burrow]

im 100% with this

[thorn briar]

this and below as well

[minor vale]

i'll do that real quick brb

[thorn briar]

I have a few doubts with rebooting but I've been proven wrong before and besides, I need sleep lol, gl everyone

[pearl dawn]

NOOOOOOO

WHY

[thorn briar]

there you go

[minor vale]

was greeted with this after restart

this looks good i think

[covert cradle]

#public-chat message

This error means the drive has become inaccessible to the OS. There are methods to get the OS to re-enumerate but rebooting is way easier lol

[thorn briar]

yey I was wrong lol

[minor vale]

so what do i gotta do from here

[thorn briar]

I mean, I've had wierder things break and needed a reboot

[covert cradle]

click okay, make new volume

[thorn briar]

GPT is newer but uses more space (not a huge deal but still), MBR is older and uses less space, but in this case just use GPT

MBR also has a 2TB limitation

[covert cradle]

In other words, I forgot the method to re-enumerate by command and I'm too lazy to look it up. hence reboot lol

[minor vale]

i officially have a headache

[thorn briar]

welp

close the disk management console and restart it is windows ever wrong?

F(

[minor vale]

i mean might as well right

[thorn briar]

but seriously, I need to go, night

[minor vale]

goodnight i appreciate the attempts

[pallid falcon]

Does it work from conputer management app

[thorn briar]

just try to right click and see if this time it gives you the option to make a simple volume or convert to gpt

[thorn briar]

no we already checked but might this time since its been wiped and restarted.

but windows is adiment its not able todo so because of one excuse after another

[pallid falcon]

Scary

[minor vale]

alright uh

nothing's working idk

[thorn briar]

wait

did you open cmd console as admin?

[minor vale]

yeah lol

[thorn briar]

ok

yeah IDK then

[covert cradle]

I'm leaning towards drive failure, but you could try to clean again in diskpart. There's nothing more absolute than that in windows. You'll need to make linux live usb and use the better tooling that linux has

[thorn briar]

I know it says it's online but maybe diskpart initialize?

[minor vale]

oh wait

[thorn briar]

It would normally say it in disk management if it wasn't though

[covert cradle]

do clean a second time

then conv gpt

[thorn briar]

It's probably tied to a windows update (joking)

[minor vale]

youve gotta be fucking kidding man

[jaunty compass]

I found my old netbook and it still works

[covert cradle]

Get CrystalDiskInfo. It's available on the msft store (or their website)

[thorn briar]

I'm curious if mbr will work

[covert cradle]

converting to GPT is just couple block writes. It failing is an extremely bad sign for the drive health

[thorn briar]

I mean yeah

It's also a old hdd so idk how old were talking

[minor vale]

its not unlikely that its in bad health lol

its almost 4 years old atp

[covert cradle]

CrystalDiskInfo will tell you

[thorn briar]

Ant ticking noises when it's in use?

[minor vale]

nah

[thorn briar]

4 years is about at the make or break point

But no ticking tells me it's probably not the header that's bad at least

Possibly the microcontroller?

[pallid falcon]

No..

Backup data quick :3

[thorn briar]

Wiped

[pallid falcon]

Do it anyways :3

[thorn briar]

You backup a series of all 1s

[ancient frigate]

Got an offer to buy a used Switch Lite for $100. Should I?

[pallid falcon]

I can send you kobold photos to backup

[pallid falcon]

No, it's a nintnedo switch

[thorn briar]

I mean, if you don't have a switch and want to play games on switch... I mean it's not a great console BUTTT

[covert cradle]

lol at crystaldiskinfo saying that's "Good". your drive is ded. Those read and seek error rates are extremely high

[minor vale]

rest in peace hard drive

so i gotta buy a new one

[covert cradle]

unfortunately

[pallid falcon]

Yup 😔

[minor vale]

FUCK 🔥

[grim belfry]

SSD upgrade time

[minor vale]

im dead broke

[thorn briar]

Hdd at 2tb are like 50 bucks

Not a big deal imho

[minor vale]

so much for playing the bo6 beta (its probably ass anyway)

[pallid falcon]

It is ass

[minor vale]

i mean its a big deal if you are still in high school and dont have a job

[thorn briar]

Ah, well yeah, I got a job in hs sooo

[vivid kernel]

hi

[minor vale]

yeah i unfortunately can not

[thorn briar]

Nothing you can sell, old games or such?

[minor vale]

nope

i just gotta wait until my bday or something

[thorn briar]

Lemonade stand?

Idk

[minor vale]

i live in one of the most cracked out places in california so

[thorn briar]

Ah easy

[minor vale]

someone would probably see me and get mad that im not selling crack and kill me or somethin

[pallid falcon]

When I was in school I got money from the floor

[thorn briar]

You're in a real rough place

[pallid falcon]

Now as a grown kobold i get craps from the floor and other kobold things

That's funny, I get my money from goblins

Hi

[rough temple]

I hate the xbox controller

[thorn briar]

Which one?

[pallid falcon]

nuh uh

[pallid falcon]

yay :3 thank you

[rough temple]

any, cause I want gyro-aim to be a norm.
and xbox never had gyro, because xbox is the standard controller for PCs, devs don't usually add gyro aim.
and 3rd party controllers on xbox-mode even if they have gyro, it can't be used since the driver code for xbox controller don't have gyro support

[grim belfry]

Yuh uh

[manic torrent]

If only there was a better way to control fps

[thorn briar]

Personally I liked the Xbox 360 controller for 3d games

[pallid falcon]

:3 maybe

[thorn briar]

Like what? You on a handheld or an underpowered system?

[manic torrent]

Imagine some sort of pointing device that tracked where it was moved.

[thorn briar]

Oh

I thought you meant frames per second lol

Was gonna ask if you were a Bethesda employee or something

Can't go past 60 without everything falling apart

[manic torrent]

Haha yeah although I love that unlocking the framerate on fallout 4 fixes the loading times

[thorn briar]

Yeah, because it runs the game faster

What did you expect to happen on pc, to get a smoother experience?

[manic torrent]

Yes but the loading screens are quicker. That's not "running the game"

[thorn briar]

I mean

Yes but it's bethesda

They probably could cut the loading times in half and be fine 99% of the time but oh 1 npc wasn't placed right so 10 more minutes of loading just to be safe!

[tawdry ocean]

hi

[floral abyss]

Need this sticker so bad

[grim belfry]

lol

[surreal gust]

hello

[lilac remnant]

weird

[pure knoll]

if i have only cat 5e cables running in the walls, is there any point of buying a >1gb network switch/buying a 2.5gbe to direct link my server to pc through the walls. In that case should i attempt to route sfp+ through the walls?

[restive lion]

routing fibre in your walls is Slightly Overkill™️

cat 6a is likely fine

[grim belfry]

SFP+ isn't a type of cable :p

[manic torrent]

Came here to say this

[manic torrent]

If you're running new cable, you run at the highest spec that makes sense wrt cost.

So tldr you would not buy new 6a cable

[grim belfry]

You house would have to be massive to warrant fibre

[restive lion]

Oh urgh youre right

Late night brain strikes again

[grim belfry]

Somebody send networking monkeys to me so everything gets fixed

[manic torrent]

Or somehow full of electrical interference

[grim belfry]

At that point you've got bigger problems

[manic torrent]

Look, it's a decorative Tesla coil.

[glass mural]

Unless you are moving hundreds of gigabytes of data around constantly you don’t need fiber

[grim belfry]

Update: I sent in networking monkeys and it has been fixed

[manic torrent]

I have fibre from my core switch to my Poe switch.... Mainly because I have a shitload of SFP fibre things I got free.

[grim belfry]

Ugh messages.google.com is so helpful
Fuck you Apple for making iMessage macOS only

[glass mural]

Now see this makes sense

[manic torrent]

SFP gig fibre things are basically worthless

[glass mural]

You already had the hardware for free so why spend extra

[grim belfry]

Because it's cool

[manic torrent]

It has lacp as well. Not because it needs it, but because it's cool 🙂

[full fossil]

heyoooo

[sick valley]

hie

[pure knoll]

well i mean connector

[full fossil]

how r ya

[sick valley]

good good, waiting on mobo and cpu to come in so I can build my PC

weee

[full fossil]

noice

[grim belfry]

You can't run a type of connector in your walls :p

[sick valley]

itll be here in 2-6 hours

[pure knoll]

yeah, im just saying if im going through hell to route it may as well ball

[sick valley]

:D

[full fossil]

nice

[pure knoll]

im going to run a "10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable "

optical cable ig?

[full fossil]

im prob gonna get a better gpu

[sick valley]

whatcha gonna get

[grim belfry]

Fibre will make it infinitely less useful

[full fossil]

dont know ywt but will get a radeon one

[manic torrent]

You wouldn't run an all in one cable in a wall, that's insane

[grim belfry]

Going baller would be to just put smurf tube from a central point into every room

[pure knoll]

yeah its not really "standard" for most devices like rj45, i might just route it betweel my room and router

[sick valley]

ayee based. I got an RX6800

(not xt TwT)

[pure knoll]

pretty sure thats how my ethernet cat 5e cable is routed, just comes out as rj45 at the bottom

ive never really looked into the walls

[grim belfry]

sigh

[eager notch]

How stupid is this?

[manic torrent]

You have no idea what you're talking about

[pure knoll]

thats why im asking lol

[full fossil]

noice i need more gb

[grim belfry]

He rarely does :p

[pure knoll]

once again, thats why im reaching out for help

[manic torrent]

Not very

[sick valley]

its a massive upgrade for me. Going from a 3060 gaming laptop to this :D

all just to game in 1080p

[full fossil]

noiceee i started from a hp laptop to a i7 12th and rtx4060

[eager notch]

As long as I do 8.4 volts and not 108.4

[sick valley]

ah nicee

my CPU pairing for the 6800 is a Ryzen 7 5700X

[manic torrent]

The cable you're talking about is a fixed length SFP+ adaptor cable all in one. in the wall you would use a seperate cable and then a seperate SFP+ transciever

[grim belfry]

As Bob would put it,

[full fossil]

Hello everyone! New here!

[pure knoll]

NO WAY YOU GOT THAT SAVED

[full fossil]

nice going decent gaming pc

[sick valley]

I technically built the PC already, but something was wrong with either the mobo or cpu, so I replaced both

[grim belfry]

Discord has a search function.

[full fossil]

welcome

[sick valley]

B550 gigabyte mobo this time

[pure knoll]

im sorry i thought a tranceiver turned the rj45 into sfp+ ? what is the tranceivers function?

[full fossil]

Thnak you!

[sick valley]

yiss, esp at 1080p itll handle literally anything I can imagine throwing at it

[grim belfry]

ummmmm

[full fossil]

noice

[pure knoll]

🤷 still i thought people gave less fucks

[grim belfry]

You're speaking gobbledygook

[limpid pivot]

Gang how much longer will a 3600 with a gtx 1660 super be able to survive in this era?

[manic torrent]

If only you could look up this information easily

[grim belfry]

https://youfailedyourselfatgoogling.com.au

[pure knoll]

look this is the first thing that came up
https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/NET10G9001/10Gtek-ASF-10G-T-10GBASE-T-Copper-RJ45-to-SFP-Tran

i assumed thats the general idea

[full fossil]

no probs

[grim belfry]

There are very few reasons you should use one of those

[pure knoll]

yeah i can only see my self using sfp to rj45 for normal devices like a laptop lmao

is it like one of these things?

[grim belfry]

What is "it"

What you're trying to accomplish is stupid

[pure knoll]

so your saying just route ethernet through the walls not fiber ?

[grim belfry]

Just put cat6a or cat 8 in smurf tube

[pure knoll]

tranciever

[pure knoll]

is cat 7 just like unloved? i doubt im going to be using more than 40 gbps per device

[grim belfry]

In this context, the difference between ethernet, catxx, rj45 etc becomes important

[eager notch]

Would recharging a battery that is 7.2v nominal but is reading 1.7v be very dumb?

[grim belfry]

cat7 doesn't really exist

[pure knoll]

oh, thought it was numerical

[grim belfry]

It was never adopted as an IEEE standard

[pure knoll]

well i doubt i can route a connector through the wall lol, but is cat the standard and ethernet the "protocol"?

[full fossil]

welp goodnight lovelys dont bash your heads in keyboards

[pure knoll]

ah okay, ill look into the cost of cat6a and cat 8, compare the prices / i really am afraid to route the cable lol

[grim belfry]

ethernet is also a standard

[grim belfry]

Get a professional.

[pure knoll]

😔 pricey

ill think about it, talk to my room mates

i really dont want to be quoted 2k to run cable through walls, I may as well keep it cat 5e if its going to cost unnecesarily large amounts

[grim belfry]

It sounds like you're renting, seek permission from the landlord

[manic torrent]

depends on the chemistry - but I'm guessing it's nimh, so give it a go

[pure knoll]

yes of course if i decide to, im not going to tamper with the walls with no explanation

[manic torrent]

the thing is, you may well be able to run 10gig on your current copper cabling, particularly because it's short.

[grim belfry]

I'm not sure about NZ, but in Australia one must also have a registered or open cabling license and the relevant proficiencies to run data cabling on the customers' side of the demarcation point

[pure knoll]

yea ig, didnt actually realise length mattered so much until i looked into it haha, however the distance between most rooms and the garage is about 10m mean, min 2m, max 20m

[manic torrent]

... that's because you don't understand electricity at all

[pure knoll]

oh really, i assumed you could just push a cable through

[grim belfry]

"push a cable through"

Unless there's smurf tube you won't just be pushing cable through

[pure knoll]

ive never done it myself before

[pure knoll]

doubt it

[pure knoll]

i assumed electricity didnt drop off THAT much

[manic torrent]

• where does it come from
• where does it go
• what does it go through
• cotton eye joe

[grim belfry]

sigh

[pure knoll]

ok ill inquire about it with ll

[pure knoll]

listen all i know what to do is write software, abt it

[manic torrent]

not even

[pure knoll]

soldered like 3 parts in my life

[manic torrent]

do-si-do

[pure knoll]

im either at the peak of mt stupid or at the slope of enlightenment, 2 years into degree

probably lowering the slopes of mt stupid

[manic torrent]

Your problem is, you make assumptions, and then, instead of checking those assumptions against an actual reference (because you know damn well that you don't know shit), you assume you're correct, and then march on to the next thing. So by the time you come here with a question, you're 15 idiotic assumptions deep.

[pure knoll]

so i should
a. check my assumptions against facts
b. come here with no assumptions

[manic torrent]

So "I think I would like higher speed networking from my desktop to my server" becomes "how do I SFP+ into a wall"

[pure knoll]

🤔

i should probably ask the root question

[manic torrent]

yes, you should.

but you never asked "what is SFP+" - and not here, into a search engine, this is an easily looked up common term

but you ALSO clearly don't have enough fundamentals to understand the answer, so that should have resulted in more research

[pure knoll]

i will research before too ok

[pure knoll]

i dont understand the correlation, not very confident rn in my abilities

[grim belfry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrh0epPAC5w
The first 30 minutes are relevant to this conversation

[pure knoll]

ok thanks i will watch

[manic torrent]

Kek I just make it up as I go along

Looks like we are probably not even going to run a switch for our storage servers for now. Just run a splitter and do 25gb to each client

[grim belfry]

QSFP28 -> 4x SFP28 cables?

Or something else

Ah yeah that makes sense

[manic torrent]

Can always switch it later without penalty

[shut lichen]

A whatywhatwhat? Last I checked here in nz we can do whatever networking we want

[grim belfry]

Haha switch it out

[manic torrent]

I mean, a modern server has Hella I/O. It's insane

[grim belfry]

Permanent cabling on the customer's side requires the licensing and the relevant proficiencies here in Australia

[shut lichen]

Sounds dumb

[manic torrent]

It is.

[manic torrent]

NZ they actually have exceptions so you can do limited electrical

[grim belfry]

Kind of.
Unfortunately it doesn't scare away most of the people who are actually going to the shoddy jobs

[shut lichen]

^ ECP 51, allows a homeowner to do quite a bit of electrical things

[manic torrent]

Yeah exactly. Just annoys everyone else.

[pure knoll]

ok just figured out that 1 of 2 of my ethernet outputs in my room is indeed cat6, so ill just skip routing any cables in the walls and just keep the cat6 to myself for a direct link with the server :)

[grim belfry]

I believe that the ACMA should allow anybody to perform the duties of a restricted license cabler, however for the activities under open and lift licensing should be kept restricted

[pallid falcon]

someone i making sounds outside quq

[grim belfry]

Really it's just the electricians we need to be worried about

[pure knoll]

cant you just quietly do it? whos going to check?

[grim belfry]

I won't advise on that :p

[pure knoll]

no comment :p

yeah anyways ive decided not to route anything since i already have 1 cat6 running downstairs luckily

[grim belfry]

DIY cabling often leads to problems with people putting DIY taps on the demarcation point

[restive lion]

Wait did I read right that y'all can't run your own data cables in Australia

[grim belfry]

Permanent cabling, yes

[restive lion]

That's wild

I was literally crawling through the attic of a building running a bunch of permanent coax like last week

Mind you that wasn't a residential building but we'd have been fucked if we weren't allowed to do that

[grim belfry]

The license you need depends on what exactly you're doing
For example in an MDU you'd need an Open license for permanent data cabling, whereas for an SDU a restricted license would do just fine

[restive lion]

Pah licenses, we just crawled into the attic and poked some cables through the roof

[grim belfry]

After installing permanent data cabling you're also required to complete a TCA1/2 form (1 or 2 depending on the work completed), retain that for 12 months, and give the customer a copy

[graceful burrow]

Are you an inspector

[grim belfry]

lol

[graceful burrow]

You know a lot of very specific technical and legal requirements for specifically this situation kek

[restive lion]

It was like 25c outside when we did this btw, highly do not recommend as an activity

[graceful burrow]

That's how people get heat stroke you know

[restive lion]

Sure is

Not like we had a choice, cables had to get run

[grim belfry]

I work in the industry

[covert cradle]

And ofc it fucking exploded on a Saturday morning. Now I get to be without a PC for extra extra long.

[grim belfry]

Ah rip

[covert cradle]

It's in warranty (not even 4mo old), but I doubt that includes damage to other parts if that happened

[shut lichen]

What psu is it?

[covert cradle]

NZXT C850

[manic torrent]

Most tech people in Australia know about this shit

[grim belfry]

And very few follow it

[manic torrent]

Shops are open Saturday, or just get a second hand one from FB marketplace

[manic torrent]

Look, you should at least know what rules/laws you're breaking. It's the second rule after "one crime at a time".

[grim belfry]

Electricians also loooveee breaking the rules because they think they can do it

They can do it, just not well

[manic torrent]

And they are often dumb as hell

[grim belfry]

Cable monkeys

[covert cradle]

I can't afford that. I really hope they provide free shipping for the RMA

[manic torrent]

Oh that sucks. I remember my pump died on good friday. Everything was closed. I managed to get one from Facebook marketplace

.... At the start of a four day weekend.

[covert cradle]

Addicted? I'm (a failure of) a software engineer, I need my PC to live. Idk how people live without one.

[manic torrent]

I am also addicted to running water, food, electricity, all sorts of shit.

Do you have some sort of brain injury or illness?

[pallid falcon]

[pure knoll]

Does something like this work? How would this even function if there's physically less pins?
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLSRA00

[grim belfry]

It's just a 1x slot

You're better off taking a dremel to the PCIe slot

[pure knoll]

So I can't actually put cards that are intended for 16x slots?

[grim belfry]

You can, depending on the card

[manic torrent]

You can, they just run at 1x

[pure knoll]

Oh, okay got it

[pure knoll]

Okay

[manic torrent]

I took a Dremel to a video card at one point

[pure knoll]

Weird

[grim belfry]

Works for me

[pure knoll]

So there would be less pcie lanes, how would the data still transfer though?

[pallid falcon]

[manic torrent]

... The same, just slower.

[grim belfry]

[pure knoll]

Ohhhh, so it's more of rate limit than filter

[grim belfry]

What is your problem you are trying to solve

[manic torrent]

Brain worms

[pallid falcon]

I smell balloons..

[pure knoll]

I don't have enough 16x slots on my mobo, and want to try add a 10gb NIC onto there, lsi hba already taking up my only slot

[manic torrent]

Wtf you don't need 16x for 10gb

[pure knoll]

Smallest I can find is 4x

[grim belfry]

You need 4x

[manic torrent]

.... Which is not 16x

[pallid falcon]

Worms good

[pure knoll]

Pcie 1x to 4x is harder to find than 16x

[manic torrent]

Looooollllll

[pallid falcon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/375454662909886464/1265303439508766753/Dan_WORMS.gif

[grim belfry]

In what case

[manic torrent]

You can just.... Put a 4x card in a 16x slot

[pure knoll]

It's a sff case

[grim belfry]

An adapter will make the NIC not fit in there anyway

[pure knoll]

Yes that's what I'm getting at

[manic torrent]

Half height card, full height slot!

[grim belfry]

Why did you choose a SFF case when you're putting in multiple AICs

[pure knoll]

Ah, hoped the adapted would be a bit more compact

[grim belfry]

It's SFF so may not be full height

[manic torrent]

Because he's an idiot

[pure knoll]

Look the case was donated

[pure knoll]

I didn't choose it per se

I accepted it

[manic torrent]

I mean, are you or are you not an idiot?

[pure knoll]

You aren't wrong 🤷‍♂️

[pallid falcon]

I'm both

[pure knoll]

I'm just saying I'm not an idiot because I acquired the case

I adjusted my expectations rather than my budget

[manic torrent]

I couldn't fit a 10gb card in easily into my desktop, and you know what I did?

I decided I didn't care that much and moved on 😄

[pallid falcon]

Weird

[pure knoll]

I also had an idea because I heard there were m2 nics lol

[pure knoll]

I need to do that more often

Succumb to the gigabit

[grim belfry]

Why do you even want 10gig lol

[pure knoll]

Found out I have cat6, and wanted to max out my connection to my server

As always, idiot move on paper, I just think it's cool

Considering I have 6gbps hdds

[manic torrent]

Mine doesn't fit because I have an upright water cooled video card that means it can't wedge in. I could move the video card forward with a lot of work but I would have to redo piping so I decided that can wait until I have a new case or new other hardware

[pure knoll]

Maybe like a 90* riser would work or something in your case

[manic torrent]

No

[pure knoll]

Ok

[manic torrent]

I mean there are some ways I could make it work, but all of them are a significant expenditure of time and effort that has almost no payback

Working it into the build when I change cases costs me nothing

[pure knoll]

I never seem to include time in my "calculations" of whether to do something, always just considered it a "free" resource ahaha, clear sign im still a bit young

[manic torrent]

It's already plugged into a 10gb port

[manic torrent]

Oh, I mean I love that for you, I just have a bunch of bullshit adult shit to do, so I have to be more sparing

I need that time for building cranes.

is there any reason for why reinstall it?

that is probably the correct answer

[manic torrent]

Lol, that's hilarious

Gotta have something to do

Not much to reinstall, it’s just for games.

Already got them

[manic torrent]

I have been on the same install of windows for 4 years.

[crystal mirage]

I've been on the same one since end of 2020

so close to 4 years

[manic torrent]

Which is over 3-4 CPUs 2 motherboards, all sorts of other crap

Oh, and upgrading to windows 11

[grim belfry]

I reinstalled my work desktop just 2 months ago :(
And my laptop has been about 4 months

[crystal mirage]

The vast majority of Windows users have a valid license, and never even have to worry about buying a valid license.

anyone know why external mouse w/ apple silicon macbook feels so much worse than on windows?

[smoky badge]

Apple

[sick valley]

have you messed with ur mouse settings to fix that

[opal solar]

I have a g703 and installed the logitech software on my mac and it still feels bad

[crystal mirage]

it is the apple experience

[sick valley]

what about it "feels bad"

[opal solar]

and every time I have lag or something the mouse lags as well whereas on windows it's the last thing to start lagging

I think it's just how mac drivers work :(

[crystal mirage]

might just be the way macOS works

[sick valley]

its likely due to how the system prioritizes mouse movement

linux behaves the same way in my experience

windows probably has some under the hood fuckery that puts like super high prioritization of mouse control

[crystal mirage]

and when you see that the mouse isn't moving you know something went really wrong

[opal solar]

I tried upping the priority of the mouse driver process but it did nothing to help lol

[kindred current]

the de-google your life part 2 got taken down?

[sick valley]

its probably not the driver, or the mouse itself

[sick valley]

correct, because they mentioned grayjay i believe

[kindred current]

oh i see, they arent planning on reuploading it then? with at least the part cut out?

[smoky badge]

Other people have re-uploaded it

google will censor mentions of a platform they dont like, but allows nefarious "kids" content to be up for years

[opal solar]

it's weird that it also loses inputs, like when I click on bartender to expand menu bar icons and at the same time drag my mouse down, I lose ground even though I have mouse acceleration off
and also the same thing happens with the built in trackpad so I think it's a fundemental issue with mac os it seems

it just sucks because I prefer mac os over how bloated windows has become and the only thing I wish for is the mouse drivers to be good because it sucks if you work on like illustrator, photoshop, even video editing where you use your mouse a lot it's just worse on mac vs windows

[sick valley]

because bilibili has no motive to remove it, unlike the monopoly google

You can chuck an image into like Photoshop and grab it with the color picker tool right?

There might be web alternatives too

[graceful burrow]

There are

[umbral cobalt]

the windows screen color picker might work for this. let me see

[graceful burrow]

Or just paste it into one of the billion basic image editors with a color picker tool

it is possible, but will require billions to setup a proper google replacement lol

[sudden gazelle]

I meant so they show you how to make one, all you need is a cheapy domain and a low-power crappy PC

[jade hemlock]

but still you could set up a mini self hosted email server of ur own

but i wont recommend it

[sudden gazelle]

Yeah

[jade hemlock]

why would u give yourself unnecessary headache? just get a NAS or smt

or if u wanna do more fun stuff, just get a mini data center lol

[sudden gazelle]

lmfao

self-hosted password managers is a good idea tho

[jade hemlock]

good luck when u get hacked

[sudden gazelle]

thank you

yep

[jade hemlock]

you could build a perfect backend system on your own even if it requires months of hard work, but the UI is something u cant create on your own that is a direct replacement of the industry leaders

just get kaspersky password manager duh

[sudden gazelle]

I'm not paying to store my passwords

[jade hemlock]

its free dumbo

you must be american

[sudden gazelle]

wdym

who trusts companies who store your passwords

its risky

[jade hemlock]

you dont understand encryption do u?

[sudden gazelle]

what happened to that LastPass breach

a year ago

[jade hemlock]

i and my family have been using kaspersky since ages duh

even my government uses kaspersky lol

[sudden gazelle]

Oh really

[jade hemlock]

yeah man

[graceful burrow]

So what I'm understanding from your last few messages is all Americans do not understand encryption

[jade hemlock]

thats not what i meant

[graceful burrow]

All of em

[graceful burrow]

It's what you said though

[jade hemlock]

I meant, americans dont trust russian products

[graceful burrow]

Another blanket statement

[jade hemlock]

specially after the US gov banned kaspersky

[graceful burrow]

Epic we love those

[jade hemlock]

blud why u trynna make me sound racist

T-T

[graceful burrow]

Nah blanket statements in general are dumb regardless of what they're applied to

[jade hemlock]

I was telling the truth, even your goverment doesn't trust Kaspersky so why should u?

Russia could potentially use kaspersky to spy on US so yeah

[graceful burrow]

You think I trust what my government says on what i should trust?

[jade hemlock]

but idk, i personally love kaspersky

[jade hemlock]

a lot of people do, doesnt mean u should

[graceful burrow]

I think I'm gonna make my own decisions on what I should trust
I have a brain

[jade hemlock]

i agree

so u trust kaspersky? or nah

[graceful burrow]

I don't use any password manager

[jade hemlock]

i meant the company and any of its products bro

not the Pass manager in particular

[graceful burrow]

I don't trust or distrust them

They exist

[jade hemlock]

blud is Switzerland

absolutely neutral

[jade hemlock]

respect

[smoky badge]

[jade hemlock]

i no longer trust windows defender after i got a virus

ever since, i use kaspersky and never had a problem

it even makes my PC run faster

[long briar]

what year was this?

[jade hemlock]

2020

[smoky badge]

Skill issue

[jade hemlock]

-_-

[long briar]

How did you manage to get a virus on a computer in the past 5 years

[jade hemlock]

it was not me bro

[eager notch]

Poggers

[long briar]

Windows defender is actually goated

[jade hemlock]

it is, but its not perfect

a dedicated antivirus is much better

[long briar]

Kernel level behavior scanning compared to signature based on other antivirus

defender also has the latest security patches always because it's very aggressively pushed through windows update

[jade hemlock]

i agree

[long briar]

it is a dedicated antivirus

[jade hemlock]

i dont consider it tho

[graceful burrow]

Nexgen out here absolutely spittin

[long briar]

if you managed to get a virus through windows defender it's actually a skill issue

[jade hemlock]

the features with which my kaspersky comes with is crazy

[long briar]

Like? adding more software to slow your system down?

[graceful burrow]

If you're worried about data collection in windows you should probably just swear off tech entirely because they aren't even the worst offenders

[jade hemlock]

it doesnt slow down, thats what i am saying

[jade hemlock]

kaspersky aint mcafee

[graceful burrow]

Fair
I was spittin tho

[long briar]

yea, it's not better

[jade hemlock]

kaspersky is better than mcafee IMO
