[lunar harness]

AMD should stop making GPUs. Nvidia has the best GPUs by a huge margin.

[granite wraith]

That sounds like bad bait

[vapid smelt]

perfect then novideo can charge $899 for a 4060 10/10 bait

[lunar harness]

Yes, mostly everyone who is alive has a kidney so they all can afford the Nvidia RTX 4090

[tired glade]

Yea, monopoly won't hurt customers

[chrome olive]

Oh cool, thanks!

[lunar harness]

Right

[tired glade]

At least xx60 series not 1000$ yet

[lunar harness]

Nvidia is so far ahead that they are already pretty much a monopoly and even then they are innovating a lot

[tired glade]

That why 4090 so expansive

If you don't want to mortgage your house with everything upgrade, support blue and red teams

[lunar harness]

Let them make them even more expensive. For the value they are providing, they are still practically giving away free stuff( for eg. mining crypto)

[vapid smelt]

its not like novideo made the 4080super becuase of the 7900xtx

[tired glade]

Got him

It more just gives up and stops being poor arguments

[lunar harness]

Nvidia is like a charity for the value they are providing for their GPUs

Let them rule the GPU market and maybe we would see even better value products

[tired glade]

You talking about 3.4 trillion company

[lunar harness]

Yes, I am talking about that Nvidia

[tired glade]

You still arguing for monopoly

[lunar harness]

Yes

[carmine merlin]

How is Ngreedia worth more than almost 3 times my country

[tired glade]

[lunar harness]

They are still enormously undervalued for the value they are providing

[tired glade]

ok lmao

[lilac bear]

me when I have a bad take

we have seen the shortage and we know prices can only increase

there's a hell ton of GPU demand still

[lilac bear]

also this is a bad take because you assume Nvidia only makes the RTX 4090

sure they make the best consumer GPU but the RTX 4050 sucks ass

I'd take an 6900 XTX over a 4050

are gaming laptops cheaper because of it

NO

[calm swan]

4050 laptops are like $650

$550 if walmart has a fire sale on them

[hearty rain]

hmm

[lilac bear]

and your point is

they aren't an RTX 4090 which is what my point was

the RTX 4050 would get smashed by the mobile RTX 4090

[calm swan]

there was no point to be made

im stating something, not making a point

[slender marsh]

I also never had dedicated graphics card

[lilac bear]

why bring up the RTX 4050 laptops can be $550 USD

[calm swan]

.

amd does compete with like the 6550m or wtv in one laptop on the low end

[hearty rain]

i've tried the sonic OS, sad IA died so I can't re download it eight now but it's cool lol and this was a cool video

[lilac bear]

okay how does it compare to RTX 4060 laptops

in terms of price

because RTX 3050 was low end as hell

[calm swan]

thats 7600s

which is like in the tuf a16 or framework or sumn

[lilac bear]

okay you bring in framework when talking about low prices like are you smoking something

nvm "Nvidia can do no wrong"

[calm swan]

"how does it compare to the 4060M"

"the 7600s is its closest competitor which is in the a16 and framework"

[lilac bear]

I'm sorry, Nvidia best, their AI will save us

[calm swan]

can you read? where was price mentioned there

i dont even know why you mentioned 4060 when i was talking about the 4050M and 6550M

[lilac bear]

yeah I said in comparison to the RTX 4050

not AMD

[calm swan]

READ

[lilac bear]

YOU READ

RTX 4060 or RTX 4050

[calm swan]

how does it compare to 4060

see an optometrist

you did not ask how it compares to the 4050

[lilac bear]

I was relying on context that the previous GPU was the 4050

and if you read more of chat

you'd know this is in a situation where AMD goes bankrupt

doesn't exist

obviously the RTX 4050 is a trash teir card and it's cost is low

you're the one that got into this conversation to defend Nvidia

doesn't stop it from being incredibly predatory and tying off many functions to a paywall

even if it does detect it's like living with a security guard always watching you in person while asking for money

not to mention Norton being in a minor scandal of using people's PCs to mine crypto

granted it was opt in and you got some of the money but Norton still took a good cut

and they got their own chromium based browser now and will constantly ask you to use it for your own best security

compress as much as you can before you start noticing quality loss, and then, back it off a bit.. will take a bit of testing

all my family photos, rather than being at 100% uncompressed, are 95%, and rather than them coming out at 40mb+ each, they come out at 1mb or so, and cant see any difference between the original and compressed

[hazy parrot]

I would rather put my old pictures (that im sure will get treasured in the future) on a 2.5" ssd (you can buy a usb adapter for) rather than trust a cloud provider.

gdrive recently had a huge loss of data

diddnt fix or even compensate for it

2.5" ssd was chosen for that reason, sturdy as hell

enclosed.

doesnt degrade over time from air or moisture

fair enough.

if you end up using a cloud provider, after compressing the photos, put them in a .zip too. You wont know if the provider will do additional compression

or just remove the extension

im certain all cloud data is to some extent

could have algorithms by extension. Economical that way

I just know that icloud uses a mixture of lossy and lossless compression.

thats my only grounds for concern

[novel notch]

why try it up and down lading 1 large file is fasster than thusands of small ones

[hazy parrot]

I would still put it in a zip

It is technically valid to measure the transfer rate in hertz, since it's still periodic. It's just confusing given it's a DDR signal with a clock rate that must be measured in hertz. Thanks firmware UI designers...

[fossil frost]

im fully aware

[covert cradle]

I never said you weren't

[fossil frost]

thats what i meant with "well not really but sort of" 😄

tbh, its fine to measure it in mhz, because you are advertising the maximum possible sustained data rate, which infers the maximum bandwidth and a rough idea of latency too (especially when they advertise the main timings too)

mts is more accurate, but mhz isnt inaccurate

the thing that bothers me about the mhz is that 3200mhz is also 1600mhz... depending on where in the bios, or what app you look at.. nobody settled on a standard way to show what the bandwidth or transfer rate is

[forest wedge]

I put my laptop on charge and turned it on, it was on 0% while charging and I took the charged out again, it's not charging now and it won't open cause it was on 0%

Any help? Did I like complety drained the battery or something?

[covert cradle]

Eh, none of that is affected by whether it's called mt/s or mhz. Meanwhile mhz is ambiguous. Outside of consumer stuff, DDR signals are always described either by clock rate or bitrate. Never allowing it to be ambiguous

[fossil frost]

if its not plugged in, and on 0%, it wont switch on, it needs to be not 0%

[forest wedge]

I plugged it in and tried to turn it on

Won't work

The charger works fine, tested on my phone and also different laptop

[fossil frost]

usually the charger being plugged in lets you turn a laptop on without the battery being charged at all, as theres a bypass circuit to directly power the laptop

if it doesnt work when plugged in, something is likely broken, either the charger or the laptop

[forest wedge]

Probably something in laptop then, charger works on other laptop

[fossil frost]

is it the charger that came with the laptop?

[forest wedge]

Yeah

There's some black residue in the charging port, iam trying to clean with lightly putting a tissue inside

[fossil frost]

toothpicks work ok for me, depending on the type of port

[forest wedge]

Type c

[fossil frost]

i use safety pins on usb-c ports

its amazing how much pocket fluff finds its way into my phones usb-c socket

[summer folio]

How

[wispy marsh]

Cat fur

[summer folio]

Gotcha

[fossil frost]

no idea, im pretty sure that pocket fluff is magnetic, and phone manufacturers put powerful magnets in the usb c socket to suck it all in just to annoy me

[wispy marsh]

Underarm and beard hair

[summer folio]

Gotcha means: Got it/roger that, right?

[wispy marsh]

I assume that's army speech

I usually go with yep/yeah

[forest wedge]

Is this black residue part of the USB C experience

[scarlet ocean]

Ltt really don’t have a setup channel huh

[fossil frost]

not really no. could just be dirt, but could be something melty from just inside the machine or the port its self

[forest wedge]

I had this from super long ago tho

Noticed oil like thing on my charging port like a month ago

Should use water to clean, how long would I have to wait till iam sure it's dry

[fossil frost]

i wouldnt use water to clean a computer at all

especially not when the problem is oily, water will do nothing

[forest wedge]

Hmmm, I see, iam trying to use a pin and tissue at the end to clean

At most the USB C port will just have to be replaced I think no?

Unless the problem is battery or something

[fossil frost]

is there more than 1 usb-c port on the laptop?

[forest wedge]

There is another one that has lighting symbol on it, I think it doesn't work for charging

[fossil frost]

the others usually allow power too, just not as much power as the main one, enough to slow charge the battery or JUST run the computer

[forest wedge]

Infact no, that one doesn't have lighting symbol it's in the middle of the two

Ah, lemme rey

Maybe I should leave it charging for few minutes

Other also doesn't work

[summer folio]

#1019713714968088586 ?

[forest wedge]

Oh my god

All it took was 1 YouTube search, the there was a way to reset the battery

[scarlet ocean]

That’s a forum

[forest wedge]

You just hold down power button on this model, works now

[summer folio]

Yeah, they prefere forum now

[forest wedge]

I tried but it didn't work

[opal thunder]

send to me

[balmy anchor]

Anybody know what was the name of video about die thinning?

[fossil frost]

if they did a UK layout for that, i would have bought one 😄

[hearty spear]

die thinning?

[turbid flower]

what a bunch of nerds

[cunning crescent]

I do

I have to

[cunning crescent]

Right now no there isn't anything to study for. But I gotta I do

[hazy parrot]

theres a discrepancy here

you're either not being honest, or you're not being honest.

[cunning crescent]

😭 I do do my hw

I had 2 English assignments, along with a math one

I think you can figure out which one took me longer

[hazy parrot]

if you understand curriculum, and turn your shit in, you have good grades

if you're being honest, you may just be oblivious instead, which is way worse than lying

[cunning crescent]

THATS WHAY I DO, I understand it perfectly, I turn it all in I still got bad grades

[fossil frost]

then you dont understand it as well as you think you do, you need to accept that, go back and look at what you got wrong, and why

[cunning crescent]

For math

It's basic algebra 2

[hazy parrot]

alg 2 is when I fell off

[cunning crescent]

I'm given a problem (7x+9) (10+2)

[turbid flower]

Since when was there a sequal to algebra

[cunning crescent]

I put these into a punnit square

[fossil frost]

English always took me longer, especially English literature, hated it... 2 hour maths exams, blasted through them in 20 minutes will full marks... english... noope, i needed the full 2 hours just to understand what they wanted from me

[cunning crescent]

English, I'm given an assignment of The Great Gatsby

[hazy parrot]

oo I read that too

[cunning crescent]

how does the prohibition era determine how the characters are like?

[turbid flower]

Use google

mate

[fossil frost]

would have been more interesting if we got something interesting at least, all we got was Jane Austin crap

[hazy parrot]

from what i remember, it made them criminals. or at least affiliated with

[cunning crescent]

The prohibition era impacted the characters by making them want to party, this sparked the desire to party and drink. During the time, the prosperity of drinking was at an all time high due to the shortage of alcohol

[cunning crescent]

I don't need Google, Google needs me 😈

[hazy parrot]

sounds right to me.

but we're not your teachers

[cunning crescent]

yes I agree

[hazy parrot]

this is something you'd ask your teachers about

[cunning crescent]

but my teacher agrees my work is good and correct. I get my work done the day it's due

[fossil frost]

you need to ask your teachers for feedback, which is basically their job.. .without giving you feedback, they are just babysitting

[hazy parrot]

then how are you being informed your grades are bad

...you may just be oblivious

[cunning crescent]

I have Schoology

[hazy parrot]

is that an online gradebook

[cunning crescent]

I do, they all say my work is incredibly professional 😈

[hazy parrot]

parents portal

[fossil frost]

then what about your grades are "bad" ?

[cunning crescent]

Yes, I can check my grades and my classes

[hazy parrot]

and?

[cunning crescent]

IDK THATS THE PROBLEM 😭😭😭

[fossil frost]

who is telling you they are bad? what do you mean by bad?

[hazy parrot]

so you dont know what are good and bad grades?

[cunning crescent]

I have a app that tells me my current grades

[hazy parrot]

thats for ur parents to decide

[cunning crescent]

yes but I need A's and B's which I do not currently have

[hazy parrot]

then you need to see your teachers and ask them

[fossil frost]

then you need to ask your teacher why you dont have As and Bs

they are the people who give you those grades, only they can tell you why

[harsh quartz]

Common symptoms of a skill issue

[cunning crescent]

I shall !!

[hazy parrot]

kid got book smarts but not street smarts

[cunning crescent]

I'm both

[fossil frost]

doubtfull

[hazy parrot]

you're %100 oblivious

confirmed it

[cunning crescent]

doubtfull?

[fossil frost]

you havnt thought to just ask your teacher why they gave you a grade, when they are otherwise saying you do good work

they gave you the grade, they can tell you why

[ionic yacht]

[cunning crescent]

no I have, I just didn't rlly bother too

[hazy parrot]

🍿 im having fun

actual cinema

[cunning crescent]

I have tm work to do too many stuff to study for

[hazy parrot]

scared?

[cunning crescent]

nah

[hazy parrot]

I think you are

prove me wrong.

[fossil frost]

tbh, you are in school, you have no idea what "too much work to do" is... and it just sounds like you are making excuses to avoid getting an answer you dont like

[cunning crescent]

they're js grades, whatever I end up getting I whatever I end up getting doc

[hazy parrot]

prove me wrong. You're scared to ask your teacher why you have a C

[cunning crescent]

☠️ bro no I genuinely have just a lotta work to do, I have like 15 diff things I gotta turn in today

[harsh quartz]

Then get off discord

[fossil frost]

while thats partly true, the other side of the coin is, better grades open up better doors in the early days after school... you can still open those doors without grades, but its harder...

[cunning crescent]

I'm too deep into this

[dim gale]

hey just a small question, you are not suppose to do this right?

[fossil frost]

and ive been given 3 weeks to do what would t ake anyone else in my company, 3 months to do... thats what "a lot of work" can amount to... and it has to be right, because its environmental control software, people die if its wrong

[hazy parrot]

problem?

[cunning crescent]

I mean I was in the hospital for like a week so idk man

[dim gale]

I mean like is it a good idea to do this?

[hazy parrot]

do what, twist cables?

[fossil frost]

as long as theres no strain on either end, it doesnt really matter, its kinks in the cable you want to avoid

[dim gale]

fair

but I have problems booting

[hazy parrot]

this power cable is more alarming than your sata cable

[idle nymph]

study

[dim gale]

🥶

[hazy parrot]

looks software related

[cunning crescent]

I just said I don't have anything to study for 😭

[fossil frost]

and? my parents got divorced in the middle of my exams, my grandma (effectively my second mother) died during my exams, i got critically bad food poisoning during my exams... i still asked the teachers what i needed to do, because my future depended on it

[dim gale]

no like the HDD doesn't start during boot unless I push the sata cable in

[hazy parrot]

I think you already know what the issue is, you just dont wanna say it, or acknowledge it in your mind.

the sooner you face it the sooner its over.

[idle nymph]

do you know all your lessons ?

[fossil frost]

seems like you are just making excuses to avoid answers you dont want to hear anyway... so lets just leave it as you are being a coward

[cunning crescent]

Real, my momma ain't in my life either. I mean I stayed in the hospital I couldn't do my work

[hazy parrot]

not the implication.

[fossil frost]

as i said... you are making excuses

[cunning crescent]

yes, all subjects, math, English, physics, you name it man

[hazy parrot]

just dont excuse your faults, and do nothing to make it better.

[cunning crescent]

bruh, it isn't that it ain't excuses that's js what's happening 😭😭

[cunning crescent]

I am doing stuff to get my stuff done😭

[hazy parrot]

you already know what you have to do.

part of you is telling you, dont suppress it

[cunning crescent]

brah

[idle nymph]

do some more exercise on them without using your lessons and see if you manage, if you do you actually know it, otherwise you dont

[cunning crescent]

o my god
Example: given a problem (8x-2) (15+8)
I can either do FOIL method or punnit squares. I choose punnit squares

[hazy parrot]

thats stupid, when he could just confront his teacher why he has lower than expected grades and can ask how he can improve them @idle nymph

[cunning crescent]

The first box would be 150x the second square would be 64 the bottom one would be -30 and -16

now we combine like terms

[hazy parrot]

he wont do it because he knows exactly why.

[cunning crescent]

it's 150x+18

Fact check it

[idle nymph]

@cunning crescentgood thing to do too

[hazy parrot]

when I was 15 played a little game called persona 4 on ps2

if you know? you know.

[idle nymph]

youre old

[hazy parrot]

...kinda

[hearty spear]

you're old

[long briar]

if you're between primary and high school, you don't know the first thing about having "too much work"

[long briar]

alright lets take this question, (8x-2)(23)

194x-46

wait why would you use the squares over foil

one you have to draw the other you can do in your head

[cunning crescent]

bro what

64-46

u combine like terms

[long briar]

you said 15+8

[cunning crescent]

it's 150x+18

I'll show you in a bit just lemme get to skewl

[long briar]

the question according to you was (8x-2)(15+8)

so 15+8 becomes 23

[cunning crescent]

what?

why r u adding ?😭

[cunning crescent]

Dude ur not adding

[long briar]

look at your second term

lmao

[cunning crescent]

I understand, but you don't add those numbers

[long briar]

you have a 15 and an 8, no variable attached to either

why can't you add them?

[cunning crescent]

bruh what grade r u in

Or are you out of highschool??

[long briar]

...20?

wayy out of high school

[cunning crescent]

ah you might have forgotten? Idk

[long briar]

look at your own message.

[cunning crescent]

I'll show you Inna bit 😭

[long briar]

Read this carefully.

(8x-2)(15+8)

you may have missed an x somewhere

but 15+8 ABSOLUTELY can be combined

[cunning crescent]

no

[long briar]

were you trying to say 15x+8?

because if not, 15+8 absolutely gets combined

[harsh quartz]

Order of operations my guy

Unless they’ve taken that shit out of school

[long briar]

he might not be paying attention in school, though.

I have absolutely no clue what he's doing

[cunning crescent]

I don't have images perms

[harsh quartz]

Also thats like SUPER early math, do I even wanna know what grade?

[long briar]

even if it was 15x+8 it STILL wouldn't be 150x anywhere

[cunning crescent]

Check dms

[long briar]

probably grade 7 or 8 ish?

I don't do DMs

[cunning crescent]

well I can't show you then bc

[long briar]

just type out your answer

because your answer is wrong lmao

[harsh quartz]

184x-46 is what I’m seeing here

[long briar]

ykw I'll accept and post his img here

[cunning crescent]

u have image perms ?

Is there a lvl I needa b

[harsh quartz]

You need to read the rules

[long briar]

real

[cunning crescent]

ah, I don't read em I just follow general norms

[long briar]

yikes.

[harsh quartz]

It’s wild how many people come in and don’t read rules then complain about not knowing how the server works

[long briar]

you said "I have read the rules" when you joined the server

[cunning crescent]

I'm not complaining just wondering if I need to be a certain level

[long briar]

grounds to be banned???

[harsh quartz]

Technically yes. Realistically, won’t happen

[long briar]

sirthiccoms I'm waiting for your answer

[harsh quartz]

Yo I just got some fresh made apple cider donuts from a local farm and holy shit these are good

[long briar]

now I'm hungry wtf

[harsh quartz]

Get some cider donuts

[long briar]

dunno where I can get em

I'll call in some bakeries and see

[harsh quartz]

Apparently, farms

[long briar]

this guy straight up sends me a friend req, I decline but open my DMs

he says he'll show me the answer

(he doesn't)

(8x-2)(15x+8)
120x^2 + 34x -16

wasn't even hard to do it in your head

takes like 4 seconds

[harsh quartz]

Also Google agrees

[long briar]

yea that's what I said

[harsh quartz]

See, now, idk what your doing here

[long briar]

I don't know if it's (15 + 8) or (15x+8)

[cunning crescent]

Ok back I was walking to skewl

[harsh quartz]

Oh, well I’m just going with not x and that it’s a basic one variable equation

[long briar]

I added an x to the 15 in the second term

it's not an equation it's an expression

[cunning crescent]

o dang, I mean hey don't blame me that's how my teacher taught me it 🤔

that UCLA teacher should NOT be teaching

[long briar]

Show me how you did it.

[harsh quartz]

Do you know pemdas?

[cunning crescent]

ok

[cunning crescent]

yes who doesn't

[harsh quartz]

Whatever, this is math not English

[long briar]

that's the important distinction

[harsh quartz]

Well, apparently, you, at least you didn’t follow it

[cunning crescent]

My teacher told me "how to do it" so

[long briar]

Expression in math is just an equation that doesn't equate to anything. ie. it doesn't have an equal sign

[long briar]

oh shoot it actually is 15 + 8

picture from sircom^

[harsh quartz]

Oh yall are doing that stupid punnet square shit. Fuck that.

[long briar]

what is 8x *8?

[cunning crescent]

64x

[long briar]

what did you write?

[cunning crescent]

shit I see

[long briar]

💀 this kid

[cunning crescent]

little slow after yesterday/today

[harsh quartz]

This is why punnet square math is stupid

[long briar]

this math is like, beyond basic

[cunning crescent]

It's very simple

[long briar]

put away the calculator

[cunning crescent]

just made one silly mistake guys

[long briar]

do it in your head please.

[harsh quartz]

Boi you the one that fucked it up

[cunning crescent]

one variable ☠️

[harsh quartz]

That led to all this

[long briar]

1 variable doesn't sound like a lot until you realize that's 100% of the variables in the expression that you messed up

[harsh quartz]

Punnet square math is stupid and I will say that till the day I die

[cunning crescent]

I get it generally though. I understand it very well, I mean as it is I got the work done yesterday and teach said it was right so

[long briar]

I do agree that square stuff is stupid, I don't remember ever learning it but it seems pretty intuitive

yea I wouldn't want to be your math teacher

[harsh quartz]

It was started after the “core” teaching style

[cunning crescent]

you aren't so

[long briar]

good

[harsh quartz]

And yet, here we are

[long briar]

I had to point out your mistakes

you can combine 15 and 8

[harsh quartz]

Wait till balancing chemical equations in chemistry

[long briar]

that's ez too

[harsh quartz]

Super, but so many people suck at it, idk why

[cunning crescent]

huh

[surreal moth]

Hello !

[long briar]

you literally can't be this dense in the head to insult me while being wrong

[cunning crescent]

I'm not insulting 😭

[harsh quartz]

The one thing I was never taught and could never understand was logarithmic equations. Like acid base neutralization questions in chemistry

[long briar]

that comes down to understanding what pH or whatever means

pH = Power of Hydrogen

[harsh quartz]

Well I did, but I didn’t know how to do the actual logarithmic math

[long briar]

Logarithms are just asking what power to get a certain answer

okay you're taking the logarithm of the negative concentration of Hydrogen in an acid

[harsh quartz]

I don’t know how to do equations with logarithms. SOMEHOW I skipped the class that did them, and no teacher would ever show me after the fact

[cunning crescent]

You think I'm insulting? Just asking a genuine question 😭

[harsh quartz]

Yes, I’m aware, I get the concept. I cannot do the math

[long briar]

use a calculator

[harsh quartz]

Telling someone they don’t know basic math is fairly insulting

[long briar]

-log[h30+] = pH

[harsh quartz]

I did. I would always get the wrong answers. Idk how. It was the only thing in chemistry 2 I couldn’t do

[cunning crescent]

wasn't saying that, simpling asking what grade because they might not have seen a problem like that or if they've been out of school for a while they might have forgotten. Not insulting but whatever you guys wanna say 🧍🏾‍♂️

Thanks for showing me btw

[long briar]

I might not have seen a problem like that?

[long briar]

literally everyone has AND more

this is beyond basic

[cunning crescent]

yeah, asking if they've been outta school they might have forgotten 😭

I don't see what's insulting you guys😭. It's just a question

[harsh quartz]

That’s saying they don’t know how to do basic math.

[cunning crescent]

no, people forget how to do certain things there's nothing wrong with that

[harsh quartz]

At minimum it’s heavily implying it

[harsh quartz]

Forgotten = don’t know how to do

[long briar]

people do not forget how to do basic math

saying "I forgot" = "I didn't know how"

[cunning crescent]

where the hell is that coming from 😭

[harsh quartz]

If you forgot something, YOU DONT KNOW IT

[long briar]

It's over your head, you're like grade 7 to be learning this stuff

12? 13 years old?

[harsh quartz]

holy fuck

[cunning crescent]

dude, people forget how to do stuff they once learned B4 that doesn't mean they don't know how to do it 😭

[long briar]

Maybe even younger actually

[harsh quartz]

THATS LITERALLY WHAT IT MEAND

[cunning crescent]

no, my school is incredibly dookie

[harsh quartz]

This dude sucks at math and English

[long briar]

you're right. I did forget the general equation for a damped harmonic oscillator because I didn't care about it.

[cunning crescent]

Idk what u guys are finding insulting I just asked a question 😭

[long briar]

But what you're learning is SO basic, you're in the foundation of a 100 floor building

[harsh quartz]

It was literally just fucked up pemdas

[cunning crescent]

it is basic 😭, it's incredibly easy. I forgot one thing that doesn't mean I don't completely understand it. My work shows that I understand it all

One mistake automatically debunks everything ig

[long briar]

like this is fairly basic as well

I just don't need it so I don't bother remembering it after my exams

despite being required to take a course that revolved around it

[harsh quartz]

It’s not that you made the mistake. It’s that you were confidently telling others they were wrong and implying they didn’t know basic math skills when you were the one that fucked it

[harsh quartz]

damp

Too many squiggles for me

[cunning crescent]

yeah, I made a SMALL mistake I believed it was right because that's usually what I do. I don't make that mistake in school 😭 as I mentioned B4. I am incredibly slow rn bc I stayed up

[long briar]

oh boo hoo you stayed up

[cunning crescent]

but yeah I get where you're coming from

[harsh quartz]

Humble thyselves or get fucked

[long briar]

just wait till you're pulling all nighters to study for exams

[cunning crescent]

that's what I do 🧍🏾‍♂️

[harsh quartz]

Or not being able to sleep cause your body just says no, and you go into work with like 3 hours max

[cunning crescent]

THATS WHAT I DO 😭😭

[harsh quartz]

It’s not the same

[cunning crescent]

how is that not the same 😭

[long briar]

not my image but here's what "easy" math but annoying to remember looks like

[cunning crescent]

Not there yet

[harsh quartz]

Hence why I didn’t go to a 4 year university :p

[long briar]

this is calc 1. Imma be honest I still don't completely get it but I just memorized the wording and passed the exam. Never used it again

[harsh quartz]

I was usually able to learn math if I worked long enough but man, I really did not wanna work at it for college level math

[long briar]

be a bit more humble or you'll never get there.

[heady flicker]

but calc II is when math finally becomes fun

you're missing out

[harsh quartz]

Math is fun in physics and nowhere else

[cunning crescent]

? The heck r u talking Abt 😭😭

[long briar]

if fun means suicidal then sure

[harsh quartz]

Oh, they misspelt gun

[heady flicker]

no like, legitimately fun to learn

[harsh quartz]

Physics math is the only fun math I’ve ever seen

[long briar]

I wish I had your attitude for calc

every second of calc 2 and 3 I just wanted to die

[harsh quartz]

I made it as far as DE pre-cal and didn’t want to go any further

Chemistry math was easy except logarithms, and that’s just cause I didn’t know how to use logs, physics math was always fun, and math math just sucks

[long briar]

good choice

Is it your question paper?

[long briar]

no this one wasn't

but back when I took calc 1 it was similar

[keen coral]

Oh

Looks very complicated

[long briar]

It's more logic than math

[keen coral]

How did you manage?

[long briar]

It's so stupid

just memorize the steps, don't bother trying to understand it

[pliant karma]

I feel ya I took calc 1. Mind you I am not good at math, but was only doing it to fulfill my math class requirement for transfer and that was the only open class. Died every 2 days of the week I was there.

[barren parcel]

Why do i see this after my math exam ☠️

[wind dust]

please fuck off damn

last guy didn’t answer

all of these numbers are inactive

[covert oriole]

i read bacon

what gpu for r5 7600

[wind dust]

anything up to a 4090

[covert oriole]

???

what ???

[covert oriole]

do you mean better than 4090 or anything less than 4090

[wind dust]

less than

[covert oriole]

ok on a budget of 500

for the gpu not the whol build

[vapid smelt]

Rx 7900gre is $530

[covert oriole]

oh also i live in canada

so 500 CAD

sorry...

[wind dust]

4070 super

7800xt

used 6900xt or 6950xt

[covert oriole]

it cost 800

[covert oriole]

670

[covert oriole]

this one idk

[clear stratus]

Do yall think a 240mm aio can cool a ryzen 7 5700x3d good?

[wind dust]

do it

[covert oriole]

yes

[wind dust]

if not 6800xt

[covert oriole]

okok sorry

[wind dust]

overkill

[clear stratus]

Thats what i wabt

[tired glade]

That will be overkill

[harsh quartz]

Not really

[clear stratus]

Id rather it be overkill then not enough

[harsh quartz]

If they want low fan speed it’s not really overkill, depending on use

[clear stratus]

Gaming

[tired glade]

240mm is kinda standard cooler nowadays

[clear stratus]

Just my $30 cooler is doing a very ehhhhh job

Cpu chills around 80ish in games and im like hmmm since im gonna swap cases i should swap the cpu cooler

[covert oriole]

for some reason they cost a lot

[covert oriole]

80 is lots ?

[harsh quartz]

240 would be fine. Gives headroom to lower fan speeds

[tired glade]

That's high for 240m aio

[harsh quartz]

They’re not on a 240 aio

[covert oriole]

i got 90 C degrees when im playing

[clear stratus]

My current is a hyper 212 evo knock off

Ya know

The cpu cooler they have been making since the early 2000s

[tired glade]

5700x3d is really that chill,20 years old cooler can cool it

[wind dust]

why?

[clear stratus]

Why i want overkill?

Because i dont wanna worry about it

[tired glade]

Just because 90% of the time

[clear stratus]

90% of the time im gaming on it

[tired glade]

90c still in speaks

[clear stratus]

Fair

Idk i like machines to be cool rather then hot.

Also new cpu cooler lets me add more ram sticks

[tired glade]

Silicone doesn't care

[clear stratus]

I care lol

[harsh quartz]

Tell that to 14th gen

[tired glade]

If it is in tolerance, nothing will ever happen

[tired glade]

That's more on Intel,than on CPU

[austere shale]

Overkill cooling is always the way to go

[harsh quartz]

It was also due to voltages and not heat, but still funny

[austere shale]

If you have the room in your case and the extra budget for it then why not

[harsh quartz]

Also, it’s a 240, it’s not like massively overkill

[tired glade]

Like it is first time happened to Intel

[harsh quartz]

It’s not like they’re running 2x 480mm radiators or something

[tired glade]

Or putting PC in servers cabinet and running fans at 10k

[austere shale]

Exactly, and a 120mm radiator really isn’t that much cheaper compared to a 240 in most cases

[clear stratus]

Im replacing my pc case since its 12 years old and very beaten up and i wanna replace the cooler as well

I got some serious overtime money so im usin it

[tired glade]

Case support 240mm aio?

[harsh quartz]

Does arctic make a 240 lf2?

[clear stratus]

The new one will

Im getting a nzxt case and aio

So id imagine yes

[harsh quartz]

Aight I don’t support this anymore :p

[clear stratus]

I mean ok then what should i get lol

I have a corsair 750D but its so beaten up at this point

[austere shale]

You can find leftover stock from DeepCool on eBay for stupid cheap rn

[harsh quartz]

Case is whatever, personal choice and all that, so long as it has airflow and isn’t a fire hazard. I won’t recommend NZXT AIOs to people though, heard too many complaints from people that use them

[austere shale]

I have this exact one and I paid $115 for it

[clear stratus]

How about artic cooling?

[vapid smelt]

Copy paste asetek aios

[clear stratus]

Cooler master?

[vapid smelt]

They make very good aios https://youtu.be/zfffNRTOZCc?feature=shared

[harsh quartz]

Arctic LF2 and LF3 are my go-tos. Good coolers, competitive price, and in the past when they’ve fucked up, they fixed it quickly and properly

[clear stratus]

Alright

I was gonna go to bestbuy but its sounding like a trip to microcenter

To microcenter i go

[wind dust]

ok bucko

[covert oriole]

whay

[tired glade]

They just added Hello Chromeos?

[vital oak]

murder

the os for a new era is linux….

[twilit zealot]

should i go with i7-14700kf + 7900 gre or i5-14600kf and 7900 xt

[vital oak]

depends on what u do with ur system

[twilit zealot]

games

[lilac bear]

well it IS linux

[vital oak]

Ooooh my god

[twilit zealot]

also mb for asking in public chat didnt notice, thought it was tech

[vital oak]

i do zat all the time lol

[lilac bear]

ChromeOS is a closed distro of Linux

[vital oak]

chrome os is like android to me

technically linux, not really

[twilit zealot]

1440p

[graceful burrow]

But chromeos flex, which is made by the same maintainers as regular chromeos for Google, does not have android support at all

So what is chromeos flex

[vital oak]

i got this one

it’s Bad

[graceful burrow]

It's great actually, I use it on my laptop kek

It runs well on the lowest of low end hardwares

And it gives you a Debian terminal so you can install basically whatever

[vital oak]

that is chrome os for u

[graceful burrow]

Ye it's gr8

[vital oak]

it will run on shit but is kinda shit

[graceful burrow]

I tried 14 other os's and nothing comes close

[vital oak]

good for schools and stuff i guess

[vital oak]

personally i’d give openbsd a try

it is even less supported than linux though

[graceful burrow]

The lightest Linux distros didn't work I was deadass gonna just see if I could get just a Debian install with just the terminal

No de

Chromeos flex was the hail Mary

[long briar]

doubt it

[graceful burrow]

I doubt it's windows

[long briar]

ChromeOS is probably one of if not the most refined Linux distro

[graceful burrow]

It's also too restrictive at base

[vital oak]

it also sucks

[graceful burrow]

It sucks on school laptops

[long briar]

what would you consider a good os then?

[graceful burrow]

All the devices I've tried chromeos on that aren't school laptops has worked fantastic

[vital oak]

most linux distros

[vital oak]

it just feels much more restrictive

[graceful burrow]

Yeah I literally said that
At base it's too restrictive
Pay attention

[vital oak]

it’s not horrendous by any means

[graceful burrow]

You're going about it like it is

Re-evaluate man

[vital oak]

maybe i’m biased

[long briar]

It's restrictive yes, but for most users (non-lttcord bozos) it'd do just fine

[vital oak]
