[warm shell]

Krazy, you are making me feel old 😭

im roughly an hour away from mine

[sturdy moth]

But zen 3 is a beast as of today

[dusty stone]

I’m 44 but have been building PCs since I was like 15

[warm shell]

Houston FTW

[raven pelican]

lol not really

[sturdy moth]

7700k is beaten by 12100f

[raven pelican]

gets shat on by ADL

[pliant karma]

The pile of 128gb usb drives I get for free from them. They keep sending me coupons for that.

[raven pelican]

it was barely faster than CML at launch

[covert cradle]

That link is showing no problems. FYI, there is a chance the issue is further into Telus's network where you won't be able to tell from your own modem

[raven pelican]

and people aren't going around saying CML is a beast in 2024.

[dusty stone]

I easily spend $30k a year at the store near me, MC is amazing

I’m surprised LTT doesn’t feature them more often

[sturdy moth]

10900k? It was a beast but when 5000 came out, it wasn't considered as a beast anymore

@raven pelican

[raven pelican]

yeah exactly, and Zen 3 is like barely faster than CML

exclu. X3D

which is a bit faster

[sturdy moth]

Barely? Wouldn't say. 10900k went on par with 5800x despite having 2 cores and 4 threads less respectively

[sturdy moth]

Oh yeah 5800x3d was a big surprise for the IT world. Could defeat 12900k in some games

[raven pelican]

In some games the 10900K was faster but in most the 5950X beat it out by a few percent

[sturdy moth]

And the fact you can load the 2022 cpu to your 2017 x370 is astonishing.

But meanwhile, you cant officially load 9900k to z170 and z270 despite having the same socket as z370 or z390

But "rEvIsIoN"

[smoky badge]

soggy donuts.

[pulsar violet]

Oh ok, thx

[raven pelican]

watch me

also i don't think anyone really cares

except for AMD fans

They are the only people that care

[long briar]

pin diff it won't work

[covert cradle]

the interface statistics page should give a better idea. The Tx/Rx Error and dropped counts being non-zero on line 1/2 would indicate a problem on the cable between your modem and Telus equipment that services your street/neighborhood.

[pulsar violet]

Yea, cause this is just annoying cause Roger’s isn’t any better

[raven pelican]

it will if you convince it to

it has been done several times by several people

[pulsar violet]

Doesn’t help this houses wiring in from the 1990s and upgraded the telephone line cables

[long briar]

yes and no

[raven pelican]

the 9900k supports ddr3

[pulsar violet]

I think they upgraded them as well actually when thinking about it

[raven pelican]

Yes in that it has been done and no as in that it is not officially supported

also it's sketchy as shit considering Z270 VRMs

[long briar]

this is because they use the same imc throughout the entire generation - laptops at the time were still using lpddr3 as it's more efficient than ddr4

[raven pelican]

yes

[covert cradle]

The interface statistics also displays stats on the ethernet ports. You could rule out some of your own ethernet cabling there

[pulsar violet]

Oh ok

Thanks for all the help btw

[jaunty compass]

man the bc250 is such a weird piece of kit

yo does anyone want a chess.com membership code cause discord want me to use it but i dont play chess

eh if anyone wants it here

[robust girder]

Hi!

if this is against to rules to do tell me

[wise plover]

sup

[robust girder]

um sorry, i got some problem, where should i post it?

[glass mural]

I don’t know if it’s against a rule but good on you for posting it in an image

[wise plover]

depending how big of an issue you can either just put it here or in the tech chats. ( #tech-chat-1 or #tech-chat-2 ) If the problem is going to take alot of talking someone is going to tell you to make a thread in #1027757333117415424

[glass mural]

I’m like 99.999% there are bots monitoring this chat for codes

[wise plover]

ah

[glass mural]

Auto redeem bots and stuff like that

[robust girder]

i don't know for other, but for me, it pretty messed up, btw thanks for the information

[pallid falcon]

[fiery crow]

Hello, i bought nitro 1 year do i have to wait until my nitro basic expires?

[pallid falcon]

I believe so yes

If you want I think discord can force end it for you if you ask them, depending on the agents mood

Or they changed it maybe

And you don't anymore

[fiery crow]

Alright no problem, thank you

[pure quest]

Any LMG staff around???

[river solstice]

I think only elijah sometimes

[pure quest]

Darn it a YouTube channel I follow just got hacked and there are having problems getting there account fixed the hacker keeps changing the password and stuff I didn't know if a lmg staff could give me a poc to give them maybe some one in LMG could point them in the right direction to get someone at Google, YouTube or alphabet help get there channel back.

[vapid smelt]

damn you just want to use ltt for their body connections

[fossil frost]

Lmg are not tech support for all YouTubers. And as soon as they agree to do this once, that's what they will end up being

If said channel doesn't already have contacts at YouTube, lmg isn't going to be able to help get some for them

[pure quest]

I never assumed LMG is support for anyone YouTube or otherwise Or anyone would say hey talk to John Doe specifically just thought they would have a email or something simple. Sorry if this isn't allowed .

@carmine flicker https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TJynWt
its not perfect, thats why you should check out #1106613567966429224 , just a quick list

[river needle]

Was disappointed that Elijah couldn't get Halo Infinite working on Linux though, but unsurprising as I had tons of issues with it to start

[midnight hollow]

god i wish elijah would sell his funkos

[river needle]

Luke mentioned it on WAN show that like, he kinda gets it since he also likes to collect some things. I don't personally get it and find Funkos ugly, but I know some people love them. I probably have thousands in LEGO and am about to get more for my anniversary

[midnight hollow]

i see how he could like them, its the 'i could pay off my dept' part that i really dont get

as soon as you have the option to pay off all of your dept DO IT

i think linus mentioned its only a matter of time before they're worthless

[river needle]

Oh yeah that's fair. I could technically pay off my car loan with some money I have saved, but my interest rate is lower than my HYSA interest rate so i'd only be saving $100 on the loan, and I'd technically lose money since I wouldn't be gaining interest

Elijah's still my favorite host 100%. I want to see Alex and Elijah do more videos and get into shenanigans.

I want to see Linus have an aneurysm from the two of them doing dumb stuff together

[midnight hollow]

i think its different to that because its not like he would be spending any liquid cash on paying off the dept, he would be loosing some of the plasic on his wall

[river needle]

That is also fair. I just won't comment on someone's personal stuff like that. Like I don't understand the Belle Delphine keyboard, but he likes it so I won't judge too hard

[midnight hollow]

honestly with him making the spare money off of twitch i guess he needs some way to spend excess amounts of money

• i think im just malding because of how poor i felt watching his tech upgrade

[river needle]

lol, I've got the same gaming rig as him, and the same router, but it makes me wish I worked at a company that did tech upgrades

9950 go brrrr

Also 4080 SUPER

[dusky jacinth]

Not the fish tank again.
Looks like a solid build there.

Wanted 7900 xtx but it gets bounced in productivity workloads that matter to me

[still geyser]

😭 it’s such a good case

[dusky jacinth]

It's really not though. |D
Unless you're talking aesthetics, then like... Okay, that's subjective and I won't contend it.

That is unless it's the tanktank, cat, or shoe cases, then I'm going to open all three hundred cans of your shame for that debate. Lmao.

[river needle]

yeah it does look like a solid build!

[twilit pewter]

noice build 🔥

also chat i may need help with my pc on #1027757333117415424

[still geyser]

It really is though. The airflow design is fantastic. It keeps heavy gpu’s from sagging and it has insane rad support that I will be taking advantage of later when I can afford the aio I want long term

[austere shale]

I have a potentially galaxy brain idea to be able to do a super smash tournament that Nintendo couldn’t do anything about. Instead of doing a prize pool, make entry basically free and the winner just gets their paypal info thrown up on the screen for people to donate to them. Thoughts?

[final spade]

does anyone have experience with 2014 macbooks

[dusky jacinth]

Mmmm versus a SSUPD Meshlicious or Dan Case C4-SFX?

[still geyser]

It literally draws air directly into the gpu and directly in through the side for the aio and then dumps it all out the top

So yea

[dusky jacinth]

Well if they really improved it that way, then... Alright.

[still geyser]

https://youtu.be/cQhSOb7Jyvg?si=an11syVjXM8Yq4kx

It’s the new m-atx

Massive changes

[dusky jacinth]

Though it still looks like a dumb af fish tank though, so I still can't bring myself to care anyway about it. Lol.

[tired glade]

Wait, that case looks like 3d printer

[still geyser]

Your favorite case is a server rack isn’t it?

[dusky jacinth]

Nope. It'd be a console-like case, but at the moment I'm fine with a simple, easy-to-work-with mesh box.

[tired glade]

Console like?

[jaunty compass]

I just watched Elijah's tech upgrade and he's kind of based to be honest

I wonder if he ever got Applejack

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah, such as cases like these:

[jaunty compass]

He bought the Sakura card damn

[golden talon]

why

[jaunty compass]

Ask Elijah

[glass mural]

You should be able to send 125,249 character long messages in iMessage

[glass mural]

It’s so beautiful

[old yacht]

Cause I wanted it

[jaunty compass]

It looks nice I'm not harping on you for it

The only reason I haven't bought one is because they are kind of expensive

[fossil frost]

the only reason anyone should buy anything beyond the basics... "i got it, because i can, and i want it"

[crisp notch]

hi

[still geyser]

just be a console pleb

[still geyser]

ye very excited

[jaunty compass]

even if i wanted to talk shit I have no room to talk anyway i bought a 6950 xt out of impulse because i didn't want to look stupid in front of a microcenter employee

[still geyser]

our upgrades "happened" on the same day lfg

[dusky jacinth]

I have no reason to be nor reason to want to be stuck on console anymore.

I'd rather build whatever the hell I want that looks and work well to me.

[dusky jacinth]

Youtube Music, premium for mobile (because they really lock down stuff there), and then an unofficial version of it for desktop to not waste browser tabs.

[vapid smelt]

i thought a old man like you would have a cassette or cd collection with a walkman

It feels like it's been out forever now

[agile bay]

started other day, got mk8d almost fully done. but there 1000x switch games to go throgh.
atm 28 races/ Achivements

pokemon on list same as zelda

its a side project ive been mkaing till RA Supports it

[eager notch]

The base game is from Wii U which released in spring 2014 so over 10 years ago

[agile bay]

its custom achievements as it was never in game

but overime ill be adding more games inc latets ones

[silk goblet]

Heyo

[agile bay]

i know but will do new games as well, its only me working on it atm so itll take time

At this point, just name it Mario Kart ∞

[raven pelican]

Long gone

[calm swan]

spotify

[raven pelican]

does he know?

[left summit]

?

[raven pelican]

that's like the whole premise of the game LMAO

[left summit]

Apple Music.

• Spotify taking away features from free users was a red flag.
• Youtube music sometimes prioritizes a screen capture from the music video rather than the album art, even though it shows the album art exists.
• Amazon Music is well... Amazon Music

[left summit]

No i mean like call it Mario Kart infinity.

[raven pelican]

I use youtube music, I don't find this to be a problem

[left summit]

Its noticeable on the smaller artists.

[raven pelican]

There are more glaring issues (with the mobile app) and also pretty sure they fixed that for the most part a while ago

[left summit]

And also sometimes on bigger artists

Lemme fetch a screenshot

[raven pelican]

more glaring issues being sometimes playlist just not refreshing and if a song has a music video that's marked as containing sensitive content it will crash the app or pause music

[silk goblet]

I can kinda understand why

Nightmare to moderate

[left summit]

Seems they fixed it now.

[raven pelican]

Yeah that's been fixed for a while

I use the app every day lmao

[agile bay]

didnt think of that, was gonna asl as switch 2 coming out do you think mk9 gonna be a thing?#

[tired glade]

Soon switch 2 naming will be gone,soon

[strange elk]

years ago yeah

Mods are hardly active as it is

sorry if thats a duplicate answer

[agile bay]

i dont think much gonna change system wise so emu's should still work

but if they do and prob will add a new mk game hopfuly itll be crosspaly

[tired glade]

I don't like how people calling it switch 2

if i look up "laptop" on amazon its either a literal paperweight or some super over the top piece of machinery

there is no in between

[mossy compass]

Ah, Amazon

[tired glade]

Try to find R5/i5 laptop with good aio, it can be very challenging

[mossy compass]

Yup! Something like Ryzen 7640H-ish with a 3060 or 4050-ish

Oh! And most importantly
Do make sure it's got sturdy hinge mounts

[agile bay]

thats all ive heard fronm yt

[mossy compass]

Cuz the last thing you want is your laptop breaking in half and it being a €1000 write-off

[quaint salmon]

thanks guys! I've written this down in my notes for when I get the money 😁

[tired glade]

Rumours about switch replacement going around for many years, at some point everyone just starting to call it switch 2

Gaming laptops

[mossy compass]

Nope! This was an IdeaPad Flex

[silk goblet]

Hmmm

I use to repair those at a Lenovo authorized repair center

Not bad

[mossy compass]

Cause Lenovo, in their infinite wisdom, decided that one big screw and two small screws are enough to hold a freakingly stiff hinge in place

[silk goblet]

HP and Dell aren’t any better

[mossy compass]

And then, they made the hinge mount plastic

[silk goblet]

They all do

[mossy compass]

And glued it into the metal lid

[silk goblet]

[tired glade]

Had you touched apple products?

[mossy compass]

So fixing it would cost, and I got a quote, €440

[mossy compass]

Cuz they machine the hinge mounts direct in the lid

[silk goblet]

I am Lenovo authorized and acmt certified

[tired glade]

Opening MacBook is a pain

[silk goblet]

Short answer yes

[mossy compass]

But you know who is better?

[silk goblet]

Lenovo

[mossy compass]

...

[silk goblet]

I saw less of them overall

[mossy compass]

I'm here literally talking about how Lenovo screwed up big time

[silk goblet]

I have repaired 1000s of machines over my 10 year career

[silk goblet]

Newer systems yes older systems not as much

Also it’s a flex their think pad line are much better

[mossy compass]

I'll be blunt
If I knew the hinge was designed this stupidly
I wouldn't have bought it

[silk goblet]

Oh I agree

[mossy compass]

I would have instead looked at options that don't have a stupidly designed hinge

Such as MSI Modern

[silk goblet]

A lot of companies bond plastic to metal to take shit slim then use brass bauss to hold the display and hinge in

Personally Apple gets a lot shit but their machines are well engineered

[mossy compass]

Yeah

[silk goblet]

I NEVER seen this issue except on very old Mac’s

[mossy compass]

I think this MSI will last me a lot longer too

[silk goblet]

I have only once seen a display delaminate

[tired glade]

Gloving backplane to battery was best of their decisions

[mossy compass]

Even tho it's entirely plastic, the hinge isn't stiff at all
And it's held by 6 screws on each side rather than 1.5

[silk goblet]

It will still break

The plastic will fatigue over time

Though hopefully it won’t

[mossy compass]

Yeah but
There is more plastic to fatigue
More screws to break off
And even then, fixing it will be cheap

[silk goblet]

Finding msi parts are a nightmare

Msi was one of the hardest to fix due to part availability

Razor was by far the worst

[mossy compass]

Should be trivial here from what I looked at

[zinc marsh]

can’t find it anywhere

[gleaming compass]

This is such a large chunk of plastic with very little of the space going to practical use. There are videos of the original DN-40 being open up. Once you see the original insides, it becomes clear that Dieter Rams wasn't needlessly making the housing larger but rather the size was to fit the maximum height of 1970's style electronics of the alarm clock.

Braun already has a spiritual successor to the DN-40 of the BC21 which doesn't use the excessive amount of plastic the 3D print does:

[spice sand]

it’s that or last of us remake remastered

[gleaming compass]

I would prefer one that has a mostly empty bottom and back so things could be stored under it

Also to optimize the amount of plastic used to perform the print

There should be a way to make it structurally sound without using the amount of plastic he did

[balmy tiger]

No

Absolutely not

It takes only the motherboard for your HWID to change

if he changes motherboard he will lose his license

he should uninstall his key from his system, write it somewhere and reinstall windows when he upgrades, to finally insert the key back

[frail void]

I think that is explained in the article. So basically it's so that the bandwidth is not used up.

[mossy compass]

That is if the license is not tied to a Microsoft account

[balmy tiger]

even if it is, transfering license is a pain

[hazy parrot]

Nah

You can extract the key with some software holdup

https://github.com/Superfly-Inc/ShowKeyPlus

There's also one on nirsoft

The key is store in hex at C:\Windows\System32\config\software

[balmy tiger]

Yes lmao

[balmy tiger]

you dont need this

[hazy parrot]

ofc you dont, theres a much better and popular way to do it on that site anyway

there is a simple command that will display the installed key on your device

ay, sometimes you just gotta keep it stupidproof ya feel me?

Moderation action taken after mods remember this rule 📈📈📈

[gleaming compass]

I'm willing to do a little extra on a 3D print to improve aesthetics. But their point is this is a nod to Dieter Rams who also put a great deal of thought to the function of the form. The rear of their design has no function. If you at least left out the bottom or rear of the print then you could store keys or change in it.

[pure knoll]

is this a good deal?

Anyone know any good ThinkPad mods? Got a T420 and I wanna mod the hell out of it. Already installed an mSATA drive in and upgraded the RAM. Going to order a 2.5" DVD bay caddy and then install an SSD in the regular drive bay and then RAID 5 them together

[manic torrent]

Yeah glue it to a good computer

[fossil frost]

i was gonna say glue it to the ceiling 😄

[robust abyss]

hi

[full fossil]

Anyone think they'll release pcie gen 5 X4 500gb ssd's with cache?? I really one just to put windows on.

I know it's overkill

[fossil frost]

if they do, it will be unnoticable anyway, since theres largely no difference in general use performance between a sata ssd, nvme gen3 and nvme gen4

theres a massive peak performance difference. but general day to day, largely no difference

[full fossil]

Ah fairs, so basically pointless unless I'm doing large transfers?

[fossil frost]

even then, the drive is unlikely to be your limiting factor

[full fossil]

Yeah I heard were not even reaching the limits of gen 4 yet let alone gen 5, where in the chain would be the slowest??

[fossil frost]

depends what you are doing... file transfers over the network, or over the internet... your bandwidth... reading files from the drive for gaming? the game engine/software or even your cpu

gen4/5 nvmes are usually only maxed out when you have a massively parallel system absolutely hammering data creation, such as data storage during AI learning. and if you were doing enough of that to need the speeds that gen5 needs... you wouldnt be asking for a 500gb drive for windows... the company/university you work for would already have a data centre full of them for you to use

[full fossil]

True

[fossil frost]

same for a lot of things, if you dont know the reason you need one, and you have to ask people if you need one, you probably dont need one

[full fossil]

But how can my gen 4 SSD write data slower then my internet downloads it then like for example when I'm downloading a game on steam my internet seems to be downloading faster then my SSD is writing??

[fossil frost]

what speed do you think you are downloading, and what speed do you think you are writing to your SSD, and how are you measuring both of those?

[full fossil]

I mean yeah, I'm not really asking if I need one, I know I don't need one because the speeds are perfectly fine as is, I just want one cause it's cool and new 😄

[full fossil]

Oh w8 yeah that makes sense cause I guess my internet is doing megabits per second and my SSD is doing gigabits or just way more megabits per second right?? Idk I'm dum

[fossil frost]

"i just want one. just because"... i wish more people in here would be that honest 😄 its a perfectly valid reason... you dont have to justify the technological reasoning... if you want one... and you can afford one... just get it... its your choice, nobody elses

[full fossil]

Or am I wayy off base

When it comes to things meant to mimic a certain aesthetic, is form not part of function?

anyone know a good place to find older mainboards? mATX LGA1150 to be precise

[long briar]

local classifieds like Facebook marketplace, AliExpress, eBay, anywhere really

I'd ask why you want to build lga1150, though.

[scarlet needle]

ali seems real fishy, i kinda dont want my house to burn down you know?

[long briar]

AliExpress is literally just chinese amazon

[scarlet needle]

i knowww but like omg its so fishy

[long briar]

most of the motherboards you get there are the exact same as if you'd buy it locally, just refurbished

[scarlet needle]

mmh.

[long briar]

...sooo racism.

[scarlet needle]

right. i just haven't made any good experiences with tech from ali

[long briar]

And I assume you just buy the cheapest thing and call it a day?

[scarlet needle]

don't assume, i always buy quality. or at least what's advertised as quality

hence the doubts

[long briar]

And here's an Asus board

2nd result if you search lga1150 motherboard

[scarlet needle]

how can it be asus if its sold from someone that's not asus

[long briar]

...

[scarlet needle]

like excuse me but this is not good enough for me

[long briar]

How is anything you buy from Amazon from their respective brands if it's selling on Amazon

[scarlet needle]

i don't buy anything from amazon either, only when the seller himself is on amazon. at least with tech. clothes are different.

[long briar]

if I went to a computer store, it's not an Asus store but they carry Asus motherboards.

does that mean the Asus motherboards in that store are fake?

[scarlet needle]

no, but with ali there's a lot of knock-offs.

[long briar]

the even funnier thing is, do you really think that Asus would still sell motherboards from a decade ago?

[scarlet needle]

no. that's why i'm looking for options silly

but ali won't do

[long briar]

well I gave you your best bet + my experience and you ignored it

[scarlet needle]

not convinced yet. also why would i randomly spend money on some chinese board because a guy on the internet talks from experience

[long briar]

I don't need to convince you

[scarlet needle]

so don't?

[hazy parrot]

🍿

[long briar]

It's not my place to try to change your mind when you're prejudiced against a certain shopping platform

I told you already anyway, eBay and local is your other options

[hazy parrot]

AliExpress is an instant no cause ain't nobody got a whole month to sit around waiting for stuff

I'm hitting the best buy

[long briar]

Ahhh spoiled

Can you get a b650i board for under 100 anywhere else?

[hazy parrot]

The wait is more painful than the money

[long briar]

Spoiled by Amazon fr

[hazy parrot]

Nah. But I do like me a same day return if it lemons

I do like me a warranty that won't see me married by the time I get a new one

[long briar]

spoken like someone who's never used Ali

[hazy parrot]

Used AliExpress all of one time for fake designer

[scarlet needle]

i mean have you been watching ltt? they make fun of it all the time and most of the time the products are absolutely garbage and falsely advertised

[long briar]

...why

[long briar]

AliExpress is no different from Amazon aside from shipping speedw

[hazy parrot]

You have no right to judge shilling the CCP

[long briar]

you talk like knockoff products don't exist on Amazon

[scarlet needle]

i dont buy on amazon either?

[long briar]

then all I can say ig is Good luck finding a new motherboard from 2013

[scarlet needle]

yeah, thanks.

[hazy parrot]

Facebook marketplace

Ez

[long briar]

I already said that and they ignored it

also you don't have any sort of warranty or buyers protection with marketplace

The dumbasses are buying Chinese ewaste

[long briar]

Well, your loss

[sonic comet]

as a user of aliexpress for years
I can confidently say it's full of fake discounts and you can easily get items that were used until near death or straight up scams
But you can avoid that easily with some common sense and not buying randomly

Speaking of buying, today I received my ssd from aliexpress and it looks new, capacity is real, and performance is as expected so I believe it's actually new as claimed

[long briar]

Common sense is deadass all you need

[sonic comet]

perhaps

not buying randomly falls into common sense so yea

just dont buy 2tb sd card for $8

[long briar]

I mean I clearly didn't follow that when I decided I wanted to see the hype around a 160 dollar ryzen 7 7700

Decided to go full AliExpress and got jginyue b650i motherboard for 120

both ended up being legit.

[sonic comet]

I bought many things over time from aliexpress which turned out great and cheap compared to getting locally (most are not even available here)

[long briar]

Yep, same.

[sonic comet]

But this time for the ssd i ended up paying extra fees locally which destroyed the cheap price and it became normal price :/

[long briar]

it's also the cheapest way to get phanteks t30 for me ;-;

Which is still 40CAD per fan

But contrast 55 on Amazon here and it's like

is two weeks worth the wait?

[sonic comet]

like $70 for crucial p3 plus (total with fees)

[long briar]

ohhh

yea for ssd and ram I find my local shop normally has better deals anyway

[sonic comet]

many pc stuff are cheaper on aliexpress here

[long briar]

but I've never paid import tax on AliExpress

[sonic comet]

here you can only find samsung 970 980 .. etc which are like $125 (depends)

[polar fern]

Cardboard computer 2: whole cardboard setup

[sonic comet]

i havent until now

the bad part is u cannot know what you tax you will get before the item has reached the local office

[long briar]

Ohhh yes I can get stuff like teamgroup C47, nm790 or high end like p44 pro

lots of options so it makes less sense to buy on AliExpress

[long briar]

yea that's interesting. I've spent a few thousand on AliExpress now and haven't paid any import tax

The Prime TX-1600 Noctua Edition has 12 limited warranty

Why is it always 12 year limited warranty

& never 12 year unlimited warranty?

[long briar]

wait you're actually just trolling

[balmy tiger]

Perhaps, they mean limited in terms of what they can accept your RMA for.

[summer folio]

Oh, so limited = no lightning strikes or water damag RMA accepted?

[balmy tiger]

Yrs

[summer folio]

Unlimited warranty = pour coke in the PSU & warranty claim granted

Roger roger!

[balmy tiger]

Lightning strike should valid rma, but it depends

(it shouldnt be)

modern buildings are meant to withstand thunder and are equipped to transport it to the ground

But, if somehow it did cause a short circuit and the psu fails, it explains a failure in the defense systems in the psu

so valid

[versed crown]

it's insane to expect a psu to withstand a practically direct lightning strike

lightning is like 100-300 million volts

[balmy tiger]

it doesnt need to accept it

[versed crown]

so no, not valid for RMA. will the manufacturer accept the RMA if you don't tell them about the lightning? probably

[balmy tiger]

hmm, yes

(they then notice extreme burns and an explosion)

[versed crown]

it would be scamming the manufacturer but you'd just tell them you heard a bang and now it doesnt work

[long briar]

lightning is considered "acts of God" and are usually not covered

[long briar]

warranty is basically limited to errors or defects in manufacturing, nothing more

[graceful burrow]

Literally listed as "act of God" in the warranty paperwork

[long briar]

most people don't read that stuff

[graceful burrow]

Most people are dumb af

[long briar]

I read through a bunch of them just cause I was bored one day

[graceful burrow]

I used to read warranty paperwork and manuals for a job so I'm so comfortable going through it

[summer folio]

What if you're atheist, is it covered then?

[long briar]

nobody gives a shit what you believe

[summer folio]

Gotcha nextgen

[fossil frost]

Its because of exactly this, they are called "force majure".

[balmy tiger]

They dont care

[full fossil]

yo someone got a old laptop that they dont use

i need it

[gleaming compass]

You can still get the same aesthetic form and leave the back or bottom unfilled to provide additional storage area

[long briar]

3d prints are normally hollow

as is molded parts actually

the total would be like 5 grams of extra filament...

[gleaming compass]

He did a lot of cross infill from what I saw

[long briar]

still won't be over probably 15 grams in there

that's the thing with fdm

it looks like a lot but it's also very porous

it's not too big of a deal honestly

[gleaming compass]

I still would have done some cross fill and provided channels for the cords to be routed through, but did the cross fill in a shape of a U along the sides and top. I would have left the bottom empty to be able to hide things that you set it on top of

[long briar]

Now that presents a new set of issues - being that you'd need supports

[gleaming compass]

Yes, I would still provide enough to act as supports

[long briar]

you can do a cable channel but having the bottom empty would require supports during printing to be removed later, which is actually an even bigger waste of plastic

[gleaming compass]

I think I could do a diamond or oval shape hole on the bottom which is left permanentally

[long briar]

that's fair

[gleaming compass]

it may depend on the speed of the print

I couldn't tell how fast he was printing/cooling before adding the next layer

[long briar]

do you know what printer?

[gleaming compass]

https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/a1-mini?sscid=91k8_s11qv&

He linked to it in the video description

[long briar]

single z axis bedslinger

he's probably doing 50mm/s

Maybe a bit faster

[gleaming compass]

Holy crap, the Dieter Rams book that he flips through in the video goes for $58 and that is with Amazon applying a 10% discount right now

Someone on makerworld already created a shorten STL version:

they clearly don't have the airpods charging pad in their version

it would be nice to also modify it to fit a case on the phone (but the modification would be to a specific case)

Which someone has also already done:
https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/US4d1e90ddfb9d15/design/2024-09-15_7b6d1a462c58e8.jpeg?x-oss-process=image/resize,w_1000/format,webp

cool concept

could be a great way to repurpose a previous generation phone when upgrading

[polar pine]

Didn't we used to have a #deals forever ago

8bitdo put their controllers on sale

It's only like 5-25% off so it's not a huge deal but I'm assuming they're trying to keep the attention LTT gave them while they have it

[glass mural]

Is there a model for the iPhone 14?

[strange elk]

spicy pillow?

[gleaming compass]

One of the modified flavors claims to be "case friendly Iphone 12 to 15 pro max"

while the original seems to just be 15 pro non-case only

[glass mural]

Hmmmmmm

[lament crystal]

Bruh my PC is 5 years old today 😭 I really gotta upgrade

[gleaming compass]

Are you Windows 11 already?

[lament crystal]

Yeah

But it has a gtx 1070

[gleaming compass]

yeah, then go ahead and upgrade

I upgraded recently but stayed with DDR4 and maxed out the amount of ram

My work habbits benefit greatly from more RAM over faster RAM

[gleaming compass]

I got a Radeon RX 7600 card to be good enough but not expensive enough that it would hurt to replace in only a year or 2 years

[long briar]

5 years old isn't that old tbh

[gleaming compass]

I honestly feel nvidia doesn't want to be in the direct to consumer business anymore

[long briar]

no they definitely do

in fact they want all the AIBs out

[lament crystal]

It's... ancient

[long briar]

there's a reason the top bin chips are in the FE cards while usually being the cheapest cards you can get

[gleaming compass]

depending on where the capacitors were sourced, some of them may be reaching their MTBF point

almost no OEM will offer extended warranties beyond 5 years for any product with a capacitor

[long briar]

power supplies:

[gleaming compass]

And if you make it to 6 years then Phil Schiller gets very sad :P

[long briar]

power supplies get 10 or even 12 year warranties

most electronics is designed around the 10 year goal

if the MTBF is 5 years, it's a poorly designed product

[gleaming compass]

you must really dislike hard drives :P

[long briar]

I only like hard drives for their storage density

4tb and under I'd go SSD for sure

above 4tb is where SSDs get too expensive and hard drives make a lot more sense

[gleaming compass]

Yeah, I have a SSD cached 20TB hard drive

[long briar]

but if you're storing that much data then you probably should have a redundancy somewhere

even if you don't follow the 321 rule

[gleaming compass]

I bought a can of RAID so I think that make more storage redundent and there is no insects around my computer

[harsh quartz]

Nvidia doesn’t want to be in the gamer* business anymore

[gleaming compass]

Yes. And as a result I think Lowest Common Denominator game design was stagnate on RTX 2000 series or lower as the target for a while

Ok, who here put their faith in Adaptec or LSI only to eventually have the RAID controller itself become the point of failure?

I have grown allergic with raid controllers and starting to warm up to Sun's idea that redundancy should be moved to the file system or operating system

[summer folio]

I only like 2TB Harddrives, bigger sizes makes more noise

WD Green 2TB > All

[ancient frigate]

Hey guys - I’m going to a Micro Center today. What should I get?

[graceful burrow]

Bawls, always
It's tradition

[summer folio]

Get something Macro

[ancient frigate]

They have a 3D printer for $129 on clearance.

https://www.microcenter.com/product/623606/creality-ender-3-v2-3d-printer

[calm swan]

seems nice for a beginner printer hmmm

[graceful burrow]

It used to be the most recommended printer but it's woefully basic nowadays
If you love tinkering and upgrading its a great printer but if you want something that just works it isn't the best choice

[long briar]

very cheap for a reason

literally everything about the ender 3 is made to be replaced

you might be able to find a sovol SV06 for not much more

[summer folio]

You can always just melt plastic yourself & drop it in the pattern you like it to be in.

[long briar]

is that how your brain was formed?

[gleaming compass]

You mean someone could create a plastic extruder pen? :P

[austere shale]

So I’m moving apartments, how do I explain to my girlfriend that my computer needs to go near/next to the router if she doesn’t want a cable taped to the ceiling from one side of the room to the other. She’s telling me to use wifi but just no I’m not doing that to myself

[long briar]

get some clear hooks and make it look tidy

otherwise the concern is justified

[summer folio]

Eat a snickers Nextgen, you're not you when you're hungry.

[austere shale]

Also the spot she suggested is literally right next to a window that would have the sun shining through it

And I don’t want the glare on my monitors but she said that’s a stupid reason

[summer folio]

Cool! I myself, try to remove as much plastic from my life as possible tho. Since it's not healthy.

3D printing plastic at home seems like a bad habbit.

[tired glade]

https://www.ecoticias.com/en/solar-panels-america-fully-covered/6720/ wait,why?!

[austere shale]

That’ll never happen

[summer folio]

Will they install AC on the inside of the highways too then?
So you can just open up your windows & turn off your own AC.
Less gasoline used by cars!

[tired glade]

52 billion,who knows

[tired glade]

Never say never

It most likely will be only done in desert areas

[austere shale]

It’s just researchers talking about what could be possible, nobody in government is talking about it. I could talk about making a Dyson sphere and it would have just as much pull as that article

[tired glade]

Will the US invest in atom?

[harsh quartz]

This could actually be super useful if done properly. It won’t be done properly. It also won’t be done.

[terse perch]

anyone have a recommendation for a full size keyboard thats hot swappable

i would ask in #peripherals but theres a argument going on

[toxic herald]

i recently recall watch a ltt video in which linus says the phrase "goon" like 10 times but i seem to have lost it anyone remembers what video it was?

[tired glade]

California building their high speed rail for like 10 years already, you know, it won't happen before there will be big road reconstitution inisitive

[harsh quartz]

California. Does not count.

[austere shale]

Arguably the worst state

[tired glade]

Who else has big infrastructure planes in motion?

[harsh quartz]

Likely Every state has something.

[harsh quartz]

An argument that won’t be had here

[austere shale]

Idk in Wisconsin, specifically Milwaukee they’re working on fixing racist freeways so that’s something

[tired glade]

What freeway?

[terse perch]

how is it racist?

[summer folio]

North Dakota/Minnesota the best state, since most Swedish people migrated to there. 🇸🇪

[austere shale]

What they claim, is the freeways in the south side (at the time the poor minority neighborhoods) were built too low and cut off busses from reaching other parts of the city.

Which I think is a lie because I live here and see busses and other such go under said bridges all day everyday

[terse perch]

volvo state

[austere shale]

But big politicians come in and spin the general populace a yarn and appeal to people’s feelings and throw out millions and millions of tax dollars to “fix” an issue that never existed to begin with

[tired glade]

US has way more problems than power sources

[terse perch]

like the state of Illinois

[austere shale]

Facts

[terse perch]

I live there rn 😦 can't wait to move to Michigan in a few years

[austere shale]

Wisconsin isn’t too bad, as long as you’re not in Kenosha or Racine, they’re too close to the Illinois ick

[terse perch]

I mean every other state around Illinois is good it's just Illinois is a blemish on that entire area

it's a very illinoying state with chitcago inside of it

[austere shale]

You should lookup the time in 2008 when Illinois sold the rights to its parking meters lmao

[terse perch]

ive seen that lol

the thing with illinois thats really bad tho is the property taxes

its about 10 times Michigan's

[austere shale]

I will say the nascar races are pretty cool down there

[terse perch]

roughly 1000$ in property taxes per month

[austere shale]

Honestly any tax in Illinois is insane, I’ve done a lot of work down there and they take so much

[terse perch]

its horrible

[keen sequoia]

hay

[austere shale]

Labor is also 10x the cost because everything is union

alan wake 2 i got 2070 super and r5 5600 will my pc shit itself if i run it on ultra rtx on?

[terse perch]

just dont use rt

[keen sequoia]

do i use high settings can i get away with that?

[terse perch]

no one actually uses it, we just brag about it to poorer people

[austere shale]

I use it for rtx Minecraft

[keen sequoia]

cuz its a new game cant find much for my gpu online

i noted to never dare open rtx on for that game cuz for sure my pc will shit itself

[austere shale]

I like to listen to my 4090 beg for mercy

[terse perch]

lol

i upgraded to a 7800xt last year and never ended up using it since i play tetris effect

[keen sequoia]

i saw benchmarks for alan wake 2 for 4090

sheesh

[terse perch]

sick game tho

vr tetris is a whole different experience

[queen dagger]

Hi

[graceful burrow]

Hello

[summer folio]

Do you just see the screen as usual, or do you have to dodge the blocks falling upon you?

[terse perch]

speciifcally with tetris effect its a bit different

its more for the atmosphere since they have visual effects and music that engages you

[jaunty compass]

the bc250 works with egpus, so i could technically run a ps5 with an rtx 4090

there are several layers of 'technically'

[sage solar]

Hi chat and the LTT Crew

[nova zephyr]

Howdy all, just joined. How often does the Floatplane role gets synced? It seems like I am missing it, but I just added it on my floatplane account.

[pastel remnant]

takes a bit apparently

[half pawn]

Idk

[pastel remnant]

i was struggling with connecting my account at all, firefox was giving me an overflow eeror and also not logging in on discord web

had to open up edge XD

I never used Floatplane before but this was a sign - I looked at the clock and wondered when the WAN starts, so i googled and checked a website - the preshow started LITERALLY when I thought to check it!

[half pawn]

Idk what to do

[blissful coral]

Just watched that techlinked upload from a week ago about that windows 10 enterprise update, I run LTSC 2019 so I went and looked at my update history, yep I installed it. Checked for updates and boingo there the one to revert it was
Laughed pretty good from that one. Fun to see yet another windows blunder in real time
(Albeit 8 days late)

Totally different, but reminded me of going through that windows 11 certificate ordeal awhile back

[left badge]

hey

Nearly instantly for me

You can try removing it from the dash and adding it back, probably didn't work because discord was having a temp issue

I just found out that steam os will be coming to the Rog Ally and I am highly considering buying one for the better cpu and better gpu for nearly the same price. Does anyone have input, dowmsides to the ROG Ally, or things I should consider before making such a purchase? Also is this the right chat to ask this question? lol
