Oh

[prime solstice]

I’m kinda debating on working at my local McDonald’s just to fix the ice cream machine

[thin tulip]

Lol if you could do it for cheap, you'd make bank.

[prime solstice]

Oh I would

[pallid falcon]

At my local mcdoanlds the employees say it's broken if they don't feel like cleaning it

[thin tulip]

Uy.

Oooh I like #111111. Very nice grey.

[prime solstice]

At one of the mc Donald’s I like going to they removed the ice cream machine

[pallid falcon]

Call them bad boys them pull out a squirt bottle

[thin tulip]

Super soaker filled with old kfc chicken grease

Oh I hate dls

So stupid.

[full fossil]

welp fishing was great

caught 3 sharks n seadweed

[pallid falcon]

I thought it was tripping 😭

[half pewter]

Better yet fill it with the fanta orange syrup. As a previous McDonald's employee it is the biggest pain to clean

[pallid falcon]

Sorry i think I replied to the wrong message

Idk where it went

[devout kite]

"That's why your mom's breath smells so good!" I saw a video of a boy saying this. It looks like derogatory. What is the meaning of it?

[simple thorn]

can anyone help me with my rgb fan problem, i have posted it in the tech support

[pallid falcon]

What's issue

[lilac bear]

interesting you didn't know

[pallid falcon]

I don't watch movies lot

[simple thorn]

it just shows a dim red light even when its on or off, detailed info in #1027757333117415424

[pallid falcon]

Update bios.

[ashen chasm]

It's one fan of many connected to a generic rgb hub controlled with a remote. The bios won't have anything to do with it. He's also tried different ports on the argb controller , and that one fan stayed the same. So, the argb in that particular fan seems to have gone wonky.

[pallid falcon]

Ewww

People actually like tbose remote ones?

[ashen chasm]

Not everyone can afford the more expensive ones all the time 🙂

[pallid falcon]

I go with no rgb :3

[ashen chasm]

I'm leaning towards converting everything to Corsair ICUE products. More spendy, but VERY reliable and shiny.

[pallid falcon]

But maybe put another fan in its place that working and see if it's work good, if does then replace weird fan?

[ashen chasm]

As I said, he already tried plugging that fan into the OTHER working ports on the hub. Didn't change the fan.

[manic torrent]

Arduino with Corsair lighting protocol. Best of both worlds

[pallid falcon]

O

I didn't click the post

[simple thorn]

i dont use the remote at all, i just wanted to make sure its not the software which is at fault

[patent violet]

I prefer doing this the other way around. Something like Artemis RGB which also supports an Arduino/ESP etc

[neon mesa]

man, going to starbucks and stuff really helps productivity more than i thought....
i actually started the project i've been postponing for at least a month now lmao

at home, procrastination hell

[alpine gale]

Sometimes just getting out of the house / switching up your environment is all it takes. Tis why I frequent a local cafe / coffee shop for lunch + coffee + work one day per week, usually on weekends.

[neon mesa]

written more code in the last hour than the last few weeks

[neon mesa]

problem is, it isn't free, though that might be an extra reason on why it boosts productivity (sunk cost fallacy?) and working on a laptop is shittier than home desktop.
if only i can NOT procrastinate at home

[manic torrent]

I mean, however you like it - point is, plenty of ways to do cost effective RGB

[tired glade]

Like not do it at all

[neon mesa]

my discord bot's code got too convoluted and also uses outdated dependencies and doesn't have a proper DB so i decided to rewrite everything

[tired glade]

Classic

[neon mesa]

well it was my first proper bot that isn't some shitty testbed
no experience so i decided to built off an existing open source project

[lilac bear]

could get one of those wireless Corsair keyboards

but yeah

[neon mesa]

due to differences in how i write code to the original project it gets messy quick

[patent violet]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.devices.lights
Cant wait until everyone adopts the universal defined RGB API (https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/hutrr84_-_lighting_and_illumination_page.pdf)

heh yeah right who am i kidding

[pallid falcon]

Mine uses Hella outdated dependencies but works

For now...

Updating dependencies would make me need to rewrite like 15+ cogs that are over 1,000 lines

[grim belfry]

We probably need another standard that everyone will use
https://xkcd.com/927/

xkcd: Standards

Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we've all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit.

[lilac bear]

"there's too many standards, we need a singular universal standard"

one more standard gets added to the mix

[neon mesa]

the original project i forked off was barebone as fuck and i had to add a hella lot of features and it contributes to the spaghetti.

[manic torrent]

Only because you don't know how to structure it nicely 🙂

[neon mesa]

plus my experience with async programming was basically null kek
so it got even messier with all my learning mistakes

[pallid falcon]

When someone else looked at mine all she had 2 say was

"WHAT
@.@"

[neon mesa]

Oh yeah the original code has basically zero useful comments

so indeed "what the fuck am i looking at" was my first impression

[pallid falcon]

What are u forking off of

[lilac bear]

yur mom

[manic torrent]

Code should only need comments that explains why.

[grim belfry]

You can't blame someone for wanting job security

[pallid falcon]

So has many others ur not special

[neon mesa]

sure but pretty sure a single comment that says "API setup" then the next 100 lines has no comment is not it

[manic torrent]

Skill issue 🙂

[neon mesa]

i got through it anyway

[patent violet]

> Shoves code into ChatGPT and asks it to explain whats going on

Suprisingly good at that tbh

[neon mesa]

i did that at first

but it made the situation worse for me since all the feature i asked to add doesn't work

i end up writing it all myself

[pallid falcon]

Can you explain my code to me cuz I for a bit didn't comment anything then didn't update for a year cuz I didn't need to

So I went back confused

[patent violet]

its hit or miss with modification request

[neon mesa]

but yea making explanations, definitely

i asked it to explain this shit

it's just a calculator with GUI but minimized as much as possible

[neon mesa]

if it's not python or java probably not

[pallid falcon]

It's python

[neon mesa]

if it contains libraries that i'm used to, maybe

i could look at it

[pallid falcon]

Line 1:
print("hello world")

[neon mesa]

yea man, that code is alien. only god knows what that do.

[rich nebula]

Can someone help me? I'm a DJ i accidentally downloaded windows 10 drivers for the CDJ or DJM so it could work but i run windows 11 (it was an unexpected gig it was just passed to me) and im trying to uninstall it. I ran 2 programs and downloaded the 2nd driver from serato itself

link: https://www.pioneerdj.com/en/support/software/cdj-2000nxs2/#drivers

[manic torrent]

That's minified code. Wait... It's obfuscated.

[quartz maple]

try asking chat GPT

oh nvm

[neon mesa]

minified

[manic torrent]

It's garbage

[neon mesa]

well yes, that's the point.

[manic torrent]

What is the actual problem. Does it not work?

[rich nebula]

it does

but i just want to remove the windows 10 drivers i accidentally installed

i was panicking at the time the DJ before me and sound tech helped me

when i plugged my laptop in the mixer i downloaded another program on the Serato DJ app

[manic torrent]

.... The best thing to do is nothing

[patent violet]

did you download some sort of driver downloader program or whatever

[rich nebula]

but it worked fine tho i really just want it out OCD

[rich nebula]

https://www.pioneerdj.com/en/support/software/cdj-2000nxs2/#drivers this is the first driver i downloaded

when i plugged my laptop in the mixer i downloaded another thru the app

cuz it says when u dont have the driver installed

[manic torrent]

It's possible the other driver overwrote/removed the original driver in any case.

[rich nebula]

thats what i was thinking

or maybe im wrong but idk

[fiery rapids]

I NEED HELP

what gpu should i pair with the r7 5700g

[pallid falcon]

The one with graphics processing

[fiery rapids]

what does that mean

[pallid falcon]

3090 ti?

[fiery rapids]

no thats too expensive

ykw ill ask tmr everyones asleep

[pallid falcon]

You never mentioned any price point lmao

[fiery rapids]

300

[pallid falcon]

Save up instead of spending all now

[fiery rapids]

thoughts on the 6700 xt, 6750 xt, 4060, 4060 ti, and 7700 xt?

my resolution is 1080p

[neon mesa]

how much do you save a month

if it's like 100 a month i'm definitely waiting an extra month and snatching a used 3080ti instead lmao

it's faster than the 7800xt
let alone the rest of those options

[fiery rapids]

this is too much im switching to console

[manic torrent]

Good choice

[pallid falcon]

Respectable choice

Can somebody sent me the ssd ranking list of something?

[pallid falcon]

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1092033-ssd-tier-list/

That was funnily enough first Google result

[manic torrent]

Imagine that

[ashen chasm]

That depends... you looking at the 8GB or the 16GB verson of the 4060 TI?

[pallid falcon]

Idk if targeted results or ltt website just highest seo

[silk ridge]

Wasnt what i remembered but thanks

Also is the P3 plus anygood seems not on that list could you recommend me 1 around the same price

[fiery rapids]

I don’t really mind either of them. I just want a card that can pair with my CPU and runs smooth in 1080p

[nova ingot]

Fellow Americans, lets redo the last hour.

[pallid falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-turn-back-the-clock-doug-cousins-bearings-get-the-need-song-lets-turn-back-time-gif-25717024

[ashen chasm]

My vote is for the 4060 TI 16GB version. Triple fan version for better cooling for $499 https://a.co/d/iwsf4if
And a number of double-fan versions for $449ish... https://a.co/d/dOSb9TW (this one WAS $449 a few minutes ago, and apparently whatever vendor sold out of it, and the next vendor in line had it at $675 .. which is dumb, the NORMAL price is around $449) (usd)

[nova ingot]

Sentenced to reduing the same hour again once a year.

[ashen chasm]

PNY, Zotac, and MSI have their own versions of the 16GB version at $449

[neon mesa]

@manic torrent do you do webdev?
i wanna get back to that again. don't know which tech stack i would pick. Considering MEAN right now since it's recommended a lot. last time i did it was just
Flask for backend and MySQL for DB not really any frontend frameworks

[silk ridge]

Are sapphire cards any good?

[ashen chasm]

They aren't bad (in my opinion) but... for the same price (or maybe $20-30 more) I'd get an XFX brand of the same gpu instead.

I've had 3 Sapphire cards, and always had issues with the fans failing within a year or two.

[silk ridge]

For me its a tight budget so either an asrock or sapphire

[ashen chasm]

Which model are you lookin at @silk ridge ?

[manic torrent]

Yes, I have been using fastapi and flask. I have used react in the past and I'm contributing to a react project, but I'm thinking of use a different front end. The current front end for my project is pure js

The project I'm working on atm is also using Kafka for queuing and messaging, and allowing scale.

[neon mesa]

i would prefer flask since i'm used to it but where i reside entirely JS/TS tech stacks are significantly more popular jobs wise

so i have to

[restive lion]

im sorry for your loss

[manic torrent]

JS on the backend makes baby Jesus cry

[restive lion]

urgh js backends

[neon mesa]

As much as i hate it, i'm using whatever the money's at kek

[restive lion]

Hopefully I graduate before that

Oh sorry didnt see you. 7800xt

In india the cheaper ones i can afford are only 2 options asrock and sapphire

And the asrock looked like some card made but icolor and galax its colorful af and looks mad cheap💀

Guys, is the "Install your windows on your fastest drive" still a thing? It feels like a waste when buying a high-end board and using the best and fastest m.2 and slot for just windows and not using it for literally anything else on that drive

[manic torrent]

You can install other stuff on it too, you don't need to only install windows.

[primal cairn]

"but it will clutter the drive and make it slower" a guy said to me

[manic torrent]

That person is a fucking idiot

[primal cairn]

But the "fastest drive should be for windows" is still true? Shouldn't the PCie 4.0 with a good enough m.2 be enough for the windows? I want to use the 5.0 slot fully without having to partition the drive

[manic torrent]

The difference between pcie gen 4 and 5 SSDs makes almost no difference to almost everything.

[primal cairn]

I may sound stupid I really don't know anything 😭

[manic torrent]

Also you don't have to partition

You don't have to keep windows seperate and reinstall it every time you fart, you just install windows, install your stuff, done.

[primal cairn]

People kept telling me things that make it sound like windows is like a virus that needs to be separated from everything lol

And I couldn't find a video from Linus that talks about this

[manic torrent]

Their advice stems from history, but they don't understand why, so they keep parroting the same old garbage.

[primal cairn]

Or any trustworthy YouTubers for that matter

[manic torrent]

[vital oak]

the new thing is to not install windows

use linux

[primal cairn]

But doesn't Linux require constant maintenance and updates to a hundred different software to remain compatible with games?

Also apex legends just banned Linux

[tired glade]

Depends

Windows also need consistent driver updates

[vital oak]

no

[vital oak]

it’s linux

[primal cairn]

Oops

[vital oak]

also all of your drivers come with your kernel, as long as you just update your system your drivers will be there

unless you have a nvidia card, but still a system update will update those

[vital oak]

also kernel-level anticheat games fucking suck

i wasn’t really being serious though

use linux if you want, it’s objectively better in basically every way

although it comes with the drawback that 4 shitty games cannot be played on it

[silk ridge]

Will a micro atx board look too small on a mid tower? Specifically lancool 216?

Okay I need some help for the life of me I cannot get this node.js website to fully function outside of localhost

[noble lion]

probably couldnt exit vim and starved to death

[umbral jackal]

Depends entirely on what desktop environment you use
I use Arch with KDE
Makes it look similar to Windows

[runic moat]

what is there to remember? why not just do man <desired command> and it will open the manual for you

[full fossil]

Been at a school for 2 years now
Just figured out now that our Information Technology textbooks (printed by the government) used LTT videos to teach

This would've made these classes alot more enjoyable if I knew that 😅

[primal cairn]

Never got into Linux, I looked at how people are using it, it's just too intimidating, don't want to dedicate months to learn

And a lot of unknown/what if

[umbral jackal]

I mean, fair enough
If you don't have a reason to switch, then you needn't worry

[runic moat]

i don't think it would take you more than a month to get comfortable with it, and there is always an easy way: ubuntu, mint, pop os or whatever; it's not are hard as they say, don't be scared

if you never looked into it, why would you think it's hard?

[primal cairn]

Since I have so little knowledge on the subject, when things go wrong, and they will, I wouldn't know what to do, and I would probably spend more time than I have to solve it

[runic moat]

even if all the manuals don't help, you can search it up and there will be an answer on a forum

[runic moat]

that's why arch exists, you learn a lot by using it

[primal cairn]

I have looked into it but you know, it isn't like I have sat through a class about Linux or anything, just skimmed through some YouTube videos

[runic moat]

idk but in my country most such classes in actual unis and colleges suck ass

[runic moat]

there are books too

[runic moat]

learning theory is more hard and scary than actually installing it

[cold shoal]

Hey guys, this is probably not a appropriate place for me ask about this, But, I would like to get some help on this issue I had today on a laptop of mine. I have a Lenovo G50, a laptop that has windows 10 configured in legacy boot. Also, I have a Samsung PSSD T7 which is 500 GB, I have a Arch Linux install on it which I use everyday on a PC which works fine, Another laptop Asus x200ma which also works fine, whereas, when I try the lenovo which has been sitting around for quite a while, it goes into windows 10 with automatic repair. Which I quit immediately as it has a hard drive and I don't want to wait. Now, I have a dualboot setup on the samsung ssd, windows 11 + arch, Now, I was able to boot to windows 11, and use the advanced startup options to go to the linux partition, it booted, But got stuck on "Loading initial ramdisk" and tells me that "real root" could not be found and "I'm on my own" run fsck manually. Idk how to do this! Never had a issue like this before unless my ssd got disconnected because of me. But, when I tried once more in the lenovo laptop, I noticed that during the loading of the initial ramdisk, My external ssd which it is running off of randomly powers off. Again, idk why this is happenning. The other two computers at my home have no issue with this, Only lenovo is causing this problem. The first time I tried booting, it rejected my ssd due to some security policy set in bios. which didn't happen after I tried booting it through windows' gui. Again, I didn't know that, I switched to uefi which made windows 10 unbootable till I switched back to legacy. But, on and on I still had this problem, Any sort of help would be gladly appreciated!

[modern oak]

Guys I have question.
My PC PSU is 550w and I have 40w Monitors.

And I'm struggling to choose the best fit UPS for that.

Is 1200Va (600w+) UPS enough?

[cold shoal]

Guys, if you have anything to say for my issue please mention @cold shoal So, that my eyes catch it, I would really like to get this fixed soon, 😄

[primal cairn]

I can already imagine myself digging through forums after forums because things aren't working. Or waiting for the "Linux" support patch to be released by some studios

Whenever I'm using the computer it's after work, tired and just having a few hours of free time

Too much of a commitment to get into linux

[runic moat]

well that won't happen a lot after you learn more things about how it works

[runic moat]

it does not break that often, but i can understand

[primal cairn]

Well if game companies aren't actively hostile towards Linux maybe I'll consider it, who knows how many things will be windows exclusive, like Apex legends ( a shit game yes but it's fun to play a couple rounds once every few days after work)

[runic moat]

okay 👍

i can't name a single good game that does not run on linux though

ok i probably should run after saying this

[umbral jackal]

Battlefield 1 just added anti cheat, so that probably no longer works

[summer folio]

League of Legends & Valorant doesn't work on Steam Deck either

Kernel level anticheat is a travesty

The overhead and cost of windows just isnt worth it on a handheld if you look at the competitors that do use windows

If anything the people who insist on kernel level anticheat are to blame
Not valve, the work theyve done with proton is amazing

Idk it has a weird effect on people
One of my oldest friends has basically flunked his exams because he was too busy playing league

[noble lion]

As an ubuntu user myself
Its really easy to use something like ubuntu
It works perfectly fine as a daily driver as long as you dont need windows exclusive software

Honestly people overreact to snap packages a bit
Its easy and usually works fine if you just need a thing to work

[vital oak]

^^^

ubuntu is honestly much easier than windows

although i’d recommend opensuse or debian

[vital oak]

-both are great and don’t use snaps so that’s a positive

although i’m currently on arch since it supports the software i’m trying way better

[noble lion]

I tried installing base debian on and old pc nd spent an afternoon and an evening getting my wifi driver to work
Never again
Altho in hindsight im like 70% sure it was actually my windows deleting them from the iso because it thought the drivers were a virus????

[summer folio]

I think my town mostly use UV
Instead of using fluorine(?) - whatever they use
for tap water

[vital oak]

use ventoy

also wifi drivers won’t magically work on ubuntu over debian

[noble lion]

Ik
Its nothing against debian per se, i just hold a grudge lol

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vital oak]

endeavour os is also a good option

although the best arch based distro is, at the end of the day, arch

the install is easy, fast, and you know exactly what’s going on

[summer folio]

Don't think they started making any effort to remove PFAS though

[vital oak]

unless you use archinstall, you may aswell throw away your pc if you’re doing that

[last arch]

Guys i have a dell percision t1700 with a 1030gt in it, rate my setup

[vital oak]

literally the only inconsistent parts of the arch installation is parittioning (mounting & formatting too)

some machines may not be uefi and some may have sda or nvme

[summer folio]

Since most wifi chips worth mentioning have Intel branded on them, surely Intels own Linux distro Clear Linux is the way to go!

[vital oak]

0/10 dell sucks

[vital oak]

im joking

[vital oak]

clear linux is not intels linux distro

[summer folio]

Tsk. of course it is

[noble lion]

Arch is a hobby, not a distro
Should not be touched by anyone who just wants stuff to work

[vital oak]

oh wait it literally is

[neon mesa]

not chlorine?

[vital oak]

have you ever used arch

[summer folio]

Yeah, that probably haha

[neon mesa]

fluorine about to be removed in the US i heard since it's found that it turns out it's not so healthy

[noble lion]

Nope
But ive skimmed through the install proces on the wiki

[vital oak]

although clear linux won’t help with a wifi card

(like it’d help with anything though)

[summer folio]

I was debating if I should put flourine or chlorine, imagine googling

[last arch]

At least better than hp tbh

[summer folio]

It is the fastest linux distro to be fair

[vital oak]

Hey so i’ve read the install process and never touched this thing Therefore it’s only for hobbyists and it’s useless for People who want to work

arch is incredibly easy to install

you literally write the same commands on every machine

except for partitioning, formatting mounting

[vital oak]

for intel shit maybe

[summer folio]

Pretty sure the optimization works great for Ryzens also

No slow CPU works on Clear Linux though

[vital oak]

not worth it when you have to use whatever the fuck swupd is

[summer folio]

Haha yeah, it is more like a novelty thingy.

Like running benchmarks just for running benchmarks sakes

[noble lion]

It really isnt comparatively
If youre very used to linux, sure
But
The average user just wants to set system language and select their keyboard and be done and have everything work

[vital oak]

KEYMAP=us

is literally all you have to write

iirc

[vital oak]

also endeavourOS exists for people who are scared of the install

literally just arch with a graphical installer

[summer folio]

Real & True. Slackware distro or bust

[vital oak]

-the only distro i can say the installer is better than arch’s way of installation is debian

Nah bro you really need those sewer journalism articles in the start menu
How else will you know your local celebrities' recent shenanigans?

I wonder this as well

[vital oak]

so i can watch anime

the website fucking sucks

Neat short link

[vital oak]

the app is quite literally 40 mb

i do not think it matters

40 mb for a much more familiar, usable ui?

the website sucks lol

bro is mean for no reason

do you know how ios runs stuff

…what?

is anything i’m saying actually reaching you

[vital oak]

i’m doing zat for a much more familiar and usable ui

[vital oak]

also i can actually change the resolution, my mobile data is not good enough to do 1080p

[silent horizon]

you are stupid

[noble lion]

Most friendly tech enthusiast discussion

[summer folio]

Be civil guys

[vital oak]

again, such a moronic take

ios is basically constantly using a trillion mb

discord is using more ram/battery than that

the website would use way more battery than that

look at the ram

moron

me when i say something relevant in a public chat

[summer folio]

Very respectful, very demure

Eat a snickers guys

[vital oak]

also i have already told you my various valid reasons for doing this

[vital oak]

the website is basically unusable, it’s so painful to use
also i need to change the quality which i cannot on the website

[neon mesa]

gotta agree ngl, that's the stupidest shit i've heard in tech in a while

[vital oak]

..a script kiddie? lmfao

[neon mesa]

i would probably think it's a masochist

[vital oak]

whatever you say

[lilac bear]

chat he doesn't know what it means

[vital oak]

https://ish.app/

dis is the shit i’m using

quite literally just for a more familiar ui lool

[vital oak]

and also so i can actually sue it, like i said i need to change the quality to actually use it

[prime solstice]

I don’t have any issues on discord on iOS it’s X that I have issues on especially while my phone is charging

[vital oak]

i was just saying that discord uses more of my battery than a tiny linux shell

[neon mesa]

let me waste a bunch of cpu cycles for no reason instead of natively watching where there's a dedicated video decoder

and the thing about watching videos like that, it can't use that decoder meaning that video is decoded on CPU, yikes.

[vital oak]

the reason is so i can

1. actually watch it, i need to change the quality because my mobile data fucking sucks
2. have a usable ui

i have tried the website

holy shit i don’t care

[neon mesa]

it's software x86 decoding on ARM

[vital oak]

this is the stupidest argument ever lol

[neon mesa]

it's the most inefficient video decode on earth

probably worse than decoding AV1 on software

[vital oak]

i literally don’t care

i am not bragging that it’s light

i am aware this is inefficient and Not light

[full fossil]

i think my registry is corrupted ffs

[vital oak]

..what?

because i want to use a good ui? and actually watch the content?

that.. isn’t bragging

check your definitions

that also isn’t bragging

[noble lion]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-peter-griffin-omg-oh-my-god-who-the-hell-cares-gif-5137136

that is what i’m saying

[neon mesa]

no matter how light the OS itself is
ARM to X86 translation is still absolutely fucking heavy

[vital oak]

[vital oak]

i am aware

[summer folio]

Registry, Like Windows Registry?
CC CLeaner to the rescue!!1

[noble lion]

Isnt this just bloatware?

[summer folio]

It's actually fancy* bloatware.

[vital oak]

luckily i wasn’t bragging

[full fossil]

not even boujee bloatware can save me

[noble lion]

If anything it will only corrupt your registries more tho

[vital oak]

hoooooly shit how much ru gonna go off about random shit

Windows recovery mode or whatever its called?

[prime solstice]

My papa told me one time to use cc cleaner and he had it downloaded on my pc so I used it once and deleted it

[vital oak]

it is not depleting my battery like at all

[summer folio]

Now, install Piriforms Defraggler & Defrag your SSD!

[neon mesa]

More write cycles used = better

[full fossil]

why have my messages just been removed

[neon mesa]

[full fossil]

"There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made"

[summer folio]

[full fossil]

Ah yes good idea!!

[noble lion]

Bro is gonna need windows recovery recovery

[vital oak]

also i have TRIED the website lol
its basically unusable, really annoying to try and use, also every episode i watch i have to open a new tab and go to the website again because it decides to stop working for some reason
ALSO i need to use 480p cause of my mobile data, it buffers as fuck at 1080p, i can’t change the quality on the site

[full fossil]

😭 😭

nah but fr does anyone have any ideas i cant even run sfc /scannow

[prime solstice]

I probably should get myself a new battery for my phone

[vital oak]

honestly what a pointless argument

[summer folio]

What about sfc /scanlater?

[neon mesa]

should've found a better website

[summer folio]

You can always reformat

[noble lion]

Have you tried scanreg.exe?

[vital oak]

also i’m not a “script kiddie”, im not using this to say i use linux or something lol

[full fossil]

sfc /offabridge

[vital oak]

i run arch on my main pc anyway

[noble lion]

Damn
Id try making a backup of my drive on another pc if i were you before proceeding

[full fossil]

I have never heard of this?

[summer folio]

[prime solstice]

https://www.hirensbootcd.org/

[full fossil]

Yeah I am going to see if I can somehow do that, this is a pain and so random. Just crashed and since then not been able to boot into windows for like 6 hours

[full fossil]

will check it out, tyy

[prime solstice]

Yw every time I have an issue I use it and it helps me out depending on the issue

[summer folio]

If you had just installed Windows on all your drives, then you would not had gotten -6 hour downtime, could just had switched boot drive gg ez

[noble lion]

Beyond cursed
Plus, you can easily make a backup from another drive when dualbooting since linux can read ntfs

[upbeat ridge]

Hello lovelies from public chat

What’s going on around here

[cursive pumice]

good afternoon

[azure stump]

Mornin ✌️

[silk ridge]

Midnight👍

[thin tulip]

Fragrance concentrate

[thin tulip]

Huhuh! Mornin! Nice day for fishin ain't it! Huhuh!

[hidden hill]

It's official I've seen it all

Thermal receipt paper

[proven lotus]

How fast is the screwdriver delivery?

[hidden hill]

Slow, they batch ship with Wizmo, if your area gets less orders, it takes longer. I'm in Ontario, same country, most populated province and have been pushed back over a week on orders waiting for Wizmo to receive the big box, then send out the small parcels within to individuals.

I understand why they use consolidated delivery, but it'd be nice to have a Purolator option for +$10 or something

[azure stump]

@thin tulip i don't fish but fish and chips is a good idea 🤣

[lilac bear]

the issue is that if they made the shipments faster then people would start complaining it's expensive

Amazon Prime is subsided by the fact Amazon is generally more expensive

and that so many subscribers don't place orders every month

[hidden hill]

I'm already complaining that it's expensive, 2 tshirts don't cost $15 to ship from BC to Ontario in a bubble mailer

[lilac bear]

I do agree more options would be cool

[hidden hill]

They're already charging over-cost for Canadians, to make up on the losses they charge elsewhere in the world

[sour merlin]

My current PC had Ryzen 5 3600, Rx 480 and 16 gb ram. Is a Rx 6650 xt a decent upgrade?

[hidden hill]

Would be nice to have exact-cost shipping, like most companies, then a premium option for Purolator, but ehh

[fossil frost]

yeah, very much so

[hidden hill]

Yup great upgrade, also set a price alert on your local marketplace for a 5800X3D to come up used, will drop in with a bios update
I went from a 3600 to a 5800x and regret not getting the x3d

[lilac bear]

well like you said, that comes at the cost that Canadians benefit buying from LTT more than other countries

[sour merlin]

Huh

[sour merlin]

Is there anything a bit better with a similar price ? (209 euros)

[fossil frost]

no, 6650 is a great card, especially for the price.. nothing comes close to it for the same or similar price

[hidden hill]

Used RTX 3070 if you can find one, but if that's the price you're getting it at giver

[sour merlin]

Is the pulse model of it good?

[sour merlin]

Talking about new, friend said he can buy me anytjing for my PC when he turns 18 in a month lmao

[fossil frost]

all models are more or less the same

[sour merlin]

Don't want some Chinese brand man

[lilac bear]

but there was a tiktok showing someone bought an RTX 4080 for $50

[sour merlin]

I want new

[fossil frost]

why? thats where all of them are made anyway, just with some western logo stamped on it

[hidden hill]

You're not going to get advice for shopping on a budget 'new' around here. For that pricepoint, get used.

[sour merlin]

Ain't me buying it

[sour merlin]

U get what I mean right? Want more trusted brands

[hidden hill]

So why you pressed about it? Tell them what we said

[lilac bear]

if you're stuck with new just get the GPU you were already looking at

[sour merlin]

Ok so Rx 6650xt, hope it will last longer with updates than my Rx 480

[fossil frost]

you want someone who charges you more money for the card being made in the same factory as any other card, because they put a recognised name on it? i.e. paying for brand loyalty?

[sour merlin]

Idk

[lilac bear]

Senheisser fanboy moment

[fossil frost]

all the 6650's are the reference design PCB from AMD, each manufacturer gets them made in the same chinese/tiawanese factories, and then they add their own cooler and logo to it... they are all the same card... whoever put their name on it is irrelevant, because they are all AMDs own design anyway

[sour merlin]

Okay

[fossil frost]

the 6600 was different, the PCBs differed between brands... but the refresh version, the 6650, everyone used the reference design

FYI, i put a 6650xt in my sons PC about 9 months ago, smashes the rx580 that was in there before it

and since the rx580 is a mildly overclocked 480, the 6650 should be very noticable to you

[opal sundial]

h u l l o

[sour merlin]

Okay thanks

600w PSU enough for it right?

[fossil frost]

yeah should be plenty, esp with the CPU you are running too

[sour merlin]

I'm on 1080p too

More fps ig

[fossil frost]

yeah, so is my son, it smashes through anything he plays

[sour merlin]

What's his cpu

[fossil frost]

hes on a i7 7700k, doesnt need more than that right now

hes getting my 5950x with accompanying motherboard next year though, when i upgrade to whatever comes after the 9000 series

[long briar]

Let me teach you about levels

This is what you need.

[sand root]

Hello guys , can you help me with an answer. I will explain the situation , I have to run a network cable in the house. There should be 1 cable from my tplink router to another (mesh) , 2nd cable should be directly from my provider router to tv box (it cannot be plugged differently) and 3rd should go from my nvr to poe camera. I want to minimise cable runs in the house. Is it possible to run 1 wire and with a switch somehow manage it at both ends ? 😬

[harsh quartz]

iPhone also has a built in digital level

[long briar]

Considering they have a pink PS5 and the picture quality sucks, I wouldn't trust them to know now to use a phone.

[harsh quartz]

Also they asked if it was slanted then took the picture at 45degrees

[cold raptor]

Thats actually cosmic red

Also I think i had flash on and forgot to turn it off

[cold raptor]

Phones straight atm and still looks off I feel it might be my bookcase might be bent a little on the top

Using a phone is always a PITA due to the buttons on either side or curved eges etc

One time I put water in a straw and melted the ends because I was in a hurry

[fossil frost]

didnt think about that, but its always been fine on phones i have had... until i got this pixel 9, where it doesnt lay flat on its back anymore, because of the stupid camera pokey out bit

[patent violet]

measure to the center of the staw, put a line on it. Get the bubble center with that line and mark both edges of the bubble. You got yourself a shitty level

[hollow scroll]

that cup ruins it

[cold raptor]

I drink alot of pop and water i don't want to keep going up and down the stairs all the time

I also make my self ice coffees aswell so I use that for the coffee aswell

And yes I clean it after every use

Just got to move a bag out of the way take some plates down stairs and the setup for my pc is reorganised

When i get a tv it will go here

I'm in the process of buying new furniture to replace the old stuff

Big shelf will go next to where my bed is and then I can put all my books and games , blurays in 1 shelf

Then I will have a tv setup next to my pc one

Nvidia is the best at performance

ive found both at £200 used does that change things?

[lilac bear]

what's the Nvidia card?

[graceful bridge]

a 3060 ti i found at £230

[lilac bear]

oh that's difficult

[graceful bridge]

doesnt nvidia in theory have better software?

[manic torrent]

not hugely relevant

[vital oak]

no

it’s closed source

[graceful bridge]

so like which one do u guys think i should get? im going to have to make a decision within tomorow

and does vram make that much of difference? with the 3060 having 12gb vram in comparison to the other 2 having 8?

[manic torrent]

it doesn't matter in this instance

a 3060ti is a better/faster card than a 6600XT

I would absolutely get that.

The 6600XT (or 6650XT) is an excellent budget card though

[graceful bridge]

okay thanks for the help i guess im leaning more towords the 3060ti

[manic torrent]

yes, absolutely

[dreamy thorn]

me and my dad have made technology, a USB type c lithium ion converted early 80s cassette player

[manic torrent]

nice! of course... it still plays cassettes, but hey

[dreamy thorn]

what's wrong with cassettes

[manic torrent]

literally everything 😄

[dreamy thorn]

i mean they sound pretty good to me

[manic torrent]

reliability, density, playtime, time to change, etc etc

[dreamy thorn]

if you have a good player they are pretty much as good as it gets

[manic torrent]

they absolutely are not

[dreamy thorn]

in terms of sound they are fine

of course, nothing beats digital flash media

not sure where the kekw comes from, even my dad's recordings from back in the day with subpar equipment are pretty good

I find it particularly wild how some vinyl people continue to claim the myth cassettes soudn bad, it's like, brother compared to lossless digital audio we both sound "bad" 💀 but both are still pretty good and with reasonably good equipment can produce imperceptibly good sounds

[mortal kraken]

Just need to wait before archive dot org gets hacked a few more times, one more with data loss

[restive lion]

vinyl holds its data a hell of a lot better than a cassette lol

[dreamy thorn]

what do you mean

[manic torrent]

He means exactly what he said.

[dreamy thorn]

as in, over time?

[manic torrent]

Vinyl is objectively, measurably better than a cassette

[dreamy thorn]

that's not physically possible

[manic torrent]

I don't think you understand shit all fuck about physics.

[restive lion]

i guess vinyl defies the laws of physics then?

[dreamy thorn]

are you trying to say a needle going over a disk has better frequency response than magnetic tape?

[manic torrent]

Literally yes

[restive lion]

y-yes?

[alpine gale]

Quite literally, yes. Vinyl is a physical medium. Tapes are merely a physical way to store [magnetic] bits.

[manic torrent]

I mean, "magnetic tape" as a general concept is one thing, we are talking specifically about cassettes

[dreamy thorn]

tapes don't have bits

they are analog

I will do some live feed recordings later

[restive lion]

KCS was a simple FSK system that recorded zeros as four cycles of a 1200 Hz tone and ones as eight cycles of 2400 Hz. This produces an overall data rate of 300 Hz. Data was recorded in eight-bit bytes, least significant bit first, with a parity bit added to seven-bit data if needed. A single space was added to the front and a single mark to the end to act as start and stop bits. The bytes were written individually, with the tone returning to the mark frequency between characters. If shorter data was being written, for instance, six-bit ASCII codes, any unused bits were filled with mark at the end to fill out eight bits. The data was written using a slightly modified version of Manchester encoding.[3]

[dreamy thorn]

yes but we are talking about cassettes in particular

you can store digital data on tape (and even on cassettes) ofc

[alpine gale]

Regardless of format, if the producer / studio mastered the audio after the loudness wars of the 1990's, it really doesn't matter what format the audio was stored on - its quality is severely reduced from what it could've been by a deliberate choice to equalize and compress everything in favor of a more "perfect" sound.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war

[manic torrent]

Audio cassettes are analog yes.

[dreamy thorn]

of course, that too

[lilac bear]

fuck this shit I'm using Spotify

[dreamy thorn]

of course, it's a pointless discussion when digital exists

[alpine gale]

I mean, same. Convenience trumps quality for me these days. I still have a collection of FLACs ripped direct from CDs but ... being an adult means I have not the time to manage that anymore.

[dreamy thorn]

I mean, digital audio is basically as good as it gets for quality

[grim belfry]

Fuck this shit I’m using Grooveshark

[hollow mango]

Basically what most people end up with. Sometimes just because you can do something doesn't mean you have it.

Exception is if you're really passionate about it and you have lots of time

[mint olive]

Dcc mentioned 🗣️

[long briar]

Digital audio at the end of the day is a virtual recreation of a physical sound

A vinyl is the exact representation of that physical sound

amplified through a needle

[manic torrent]

it isn't.

[long briar]

It is in the sense that the sound is imprinted in the vinyl and causes vibrations in the needle

[lilac bear]

similar process for digital

[long briar]

Digital is far more complex

[manic torrent]

yes, but "exact representation" of "that" sound is not what it is - it's far more nuanced.

[manic torrent]

it isn't really though

[lilac bear]

numbers dictate electricity which bends a plate

[manic torrent]

Modern vinyl all comes from digital sources anyway, and older vinyl came from tapes

[manic torrent]

no, the electricity doesn't bend a plate, it moves a voice coil.

[long briar]

There's a lot more that goes into it, like types of dacs or whatever

when it comes to PCM it's basically digital vinyl

but all other formats become a lot more complex to deal with

[manic torrent]

except that vinyl has limitations PCM doesn't have in terms of amplitude of the track next to it

[restive lion]

how are you lot still arguing about this

just let it die, someone will continue to be wrong on the internet

[manic torrent]

easy, most people don't understand how sound works

[covert cradle]

True. If you've made a 24-bit recording, the storage media is irrelevant

[long briar]

In dynamic drivers, it moves a voice coil that's attached to a diaphragm. Bending of plate would be a ribbon driver which is more rare, but not that difficult to find. He's technically not wrong

but I'm arguing just for the sake of arguing

[long briar]

that's valid, actually.

[restive lion]

me when i give an sm57 to the vocalist:

[long briar]

SM57 is fine?

[long briar]

nobody is arguing

[restive lion]

[long briar]

oh

that was a different topic

[restive lion]

lol

[manic torrent]

The thing is, audio is interesting, has a lot of nuance, lots of people don't understand it well, and a lot of manufacturers put out pure garbage about it to sell shit

[long briar]

I was just making a case that riverence isn't technically completely wrong

[restive lion]

also "fine" is the lowest of bars without being "bad" so

[long briar]

it's good. Happy now?

[restive lion]

no, because its not lol

[long briar]

you can run million dollar bands off of just SM57 and with the right eq it'd sound just fine

[manic torrent]

... and people do. Every day.

[long briar]

The reason SM57 has its place rn is because people do do that. It doesn't do anything wrong

Yea I was getting to that

[restive lion]

the hell sort of bands are you running

an sm57 is decidedly an instrument mic lol

are you thinking of an sm58 per chance?

[long briar]

no

[dreamy thorn]

not really, mathematically digital is capable of doing a mathematically perfect recreationg of an input signal, assuming an appropriate sample rate and a band limit

see the nyquist shannon sampling theorem

[long briar]

slap a pop filter of some sort on that sucker and you've got an SM58

[dreamy thorn]

tl;dr if you sample at twice the band limit you can perfectly recreate a signal with PCM

[long briar]

it's basically the same mic.

[restive lion]

[long briar]

This basically just explains why audio is normally sampled at 44.1 or 48khz on delivery. That's not the issue here

the issue is when it comes time to turn that digital signal back to analogue.

Hello, can I ask question about M.2 NVMe SSD?

You just did. 😉 Welcome to the Discord! https://dontasktoask.com - just ask, then await an answer.

[earnest solstice]

https://www.twinmos.com/product/twinmos-xtreme-gen4-x4-nvme-pro-m-2-2280-ssd/ , is it a good NVMe SSD?

No clue - I've literally never heard of "TwinMOS" brand before. While some off-brand SSD's can be as good (or sometimes better) than name brand models, you usually get what you pay for...

Someone asked me to help teach them some language called sagemath.

I got left on read when i went them a docs page lol

[frail void]

Oh man it's so scary that hackers can bypass 2FA with cookie session stealing. 😮

[pallid falcon]

Mm

Tbh that's kinda a platform issue ngl

Shouldn't platforms see you logged in from the UK then suddenly your using the in Inidia or something

I feel if that happens it should ask for a 2fa token again

[frail void]

Well that's assuming you are revealing your location.

[pallid falcon]

Wym

[frail void]

What are you asking?

[pallid falcon]

Websites can always get a apoxinate location

You don't need to share location

[frail void]

Well they need your consent, at least in some jurisdictions.

Besides, if you use a VPN they won't know your location anyhow.

[grim belfry]

By using the website you give them consent :)

[pallid falcon]

Yeah every single website needs to know your location to know where to send traffic replies to at least

[frail void]

What traffic replies?

[grim belfry]

The website...

[pallid falcon]

Your conputer asks server for website

Server replies website

Your device show website

[frail void]

Why would that need to know location?

[pallid falcon]

So it doesn't get sent to someone across the world

[frail void]

The website is not sending anything if you're just looking at it.

[pallid falcon]

Ok

[shut lichen]

Your failed attempt at explaining IP Geolocation was very poor

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZmMSwiE5Dg

[shut lichen]

Every server you access in any way has your IP, from that you can at least get the country of origin, and sometimes the city, depending on how the ISP has things set up

I just got my tracking number today for the fpgbc I’m super excited about getting it

[pallid falcon]

[prime solstice]

Yeah and I bought an easy flash junior to see if it will work on the newer firmware

[pallid falcon]

Did ltt store spoil upcoming vids?

Cuz didn't the tv review come out today or different tv..

[prime solstice]

Idk but they are firing Colton and then re hire him

[eager notch]

No, they just keep firing him

[prime solstice]

Ah so he is in the eternal pits of being fired

[pallid falcon]

I fired Colton a few times is like stress release stress ball

National fire Colton years is 2008 - [tbd]

[jaunty field]

anyone have any theories as to how apple might be creating problems in older gen airpods pros?

[lilac bear]

new iPhone doesn't quite work with old firmware?

[manic torrent]

... Wut

[sick valley]

weeeeeeee

[jaunty field]

I'm an android user and when recently my brother who has an iPhone connected my airpods to his phone, used em and gave me back I started having sound problems that seem to only go away if I contact someone everytime I connect them to my android phone

[sick valley]

try factory resetting them

[lilac bear]

contact?

[manic torrent]

And your first thought is that it's a conspiracy?

[lilac bear]

throw out the android phone

[sick valley]

if you hold down the power button for like 30 seconds, or until it begins flashing white, itll factory reset

[jaunty field]

call a number and disconnect and only then the sound seems to get better and it's happening every time

[vapid smelt]

buy a iphone then

[jaunty field]

they're probably trying to downgrade the older version to try and sell me the better models by creating stupid inconveniences

[manic torrent]

Yeah that's far more likely than it being anything else.

[sick valley]

Its highly unlikely lmao, if anything apple is pretty good about retroactively adding things to older models

just reset them before calling it a conspiracy lol

[pallid falcon]

Sounds like mb some settings got changed

[vapid smelt]

like slowing down older phones to save battery life

[vapid smelt]

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-51413724

[sick valley]

yes, this is true, that happened, but its strongly unlikely apple is making airpods glitch and sound worse only until you call somebody. That sounds like a software bug that can likely be fixed with a reset

[pallid falcon]

Doesn't samsjng do that also

[vapid smelt]

nah samsung just has the battery expand untill it split opens the phone 😛

[pallid falcon]

Spicy pillow

[alpine gale]

Since you allowed a third party to perform unknown things to your AirPods, you've introduced a variable that wasn't there before. Eliminate the variable (by resetting the AirPods to factory defaults) then see if the same behaviour exists. That assumes a firmware update dwasn't installed.... if your brother installed a firmware update that altered the behaviour of the AirPods... Ripperoni.

[manic torrent]

... Ok now I shot my brother....

[vapid smelt]

also WHO THE FUCK share IEM headphones?!

[lilac bear]

you forgot how Samsung makes replacing the battery harder than it would be on iPhone

[sick valley]

nah its easier because it takes off the back cover for you when its due for a replacement!

[manic torrent]

Aren't the pros over ear?

[sick valley]

thats Maxes

pros are the ones with the rubber tips

[manic torrent]

Ah yes

Well if they detect access from a suspicious location they will inform you about it but location can be hidden or spoofed.

i didnt even have to look i already knew it was @pallid falcon

[pallid falcon]

[pallid falcon]

Im very predictable

[jaunty field]

Tbf to apple tho their stuff is pretty good, I've been rocking these pros for over 3+ years upto 10hrs daily and I do not see a difference in sound quality at all except for the noise cancellation which is kinda meh oh Androids but that's alr. Calling a number and it working correctly after that is not an inconvenience for me, I'm jst curious as to what the problem might be since they did mess with older phones. Thanks for the help

[vapid smelt]

as a waxy man i got these

fuck i really should get a aliexpress account i couldve saved $16

Fucking AirPods firmware updates
They're sometimes automagically updated, but there's no way to force an update :(

[lilac bear]

no no it's not just a software bug that requires a reset

[jaunty cove]

What's the profession called where you can walk into a empty piece of real estate and make a layout design and recommend where to put furniture pieces

Is it? If so I wanna do that

I just feel like I can figure out where to put things in any home /building and make it look good

[sudden phoenix]

[fossil frost]

look good, according to your own personal taste.. not for everyone... just for you, and people who share your taste

[jaunty cove]

So how do interior designers start? Do they just share blueprints or mockups on social media and see how many people share the same taste?

Im honored

Lol I see

[fossil frost]

its a dying profession, but you generally start as some other type of designer, or even a buyer for someone... and it then ends up being a natural transition to doing multiple properties for that same person before being recommended to their friends and friends of friends...

[jaunty cove]

Oh so u gotta know people

[fossil frost]

its not a job you just quit your existing job for, and start doing... its a side business you do, until it becomes a viable business of its own

[jaunty cove]

I see

[fossil frost]

yeah, because on the whole, most "normal people" wont use a designer, they will do their own thing. its richer people who cant be bothered or are too stuck up to do anything for themselves... who pay other people to do things for them... and you need to have them already know you, to use you

[jaunty cove]

Oh

[jaunty cove]

Well how can I be the one to make the blueprint for the home being built then

[fossil frost]

tbh, if you do like the idea of that though... architecture is a job that allows for most of that creative outlet... and is a job you can actually do without knowing people

[jaunty cove]

Like I even want the power to be able to say where coax outlets and phone/fax lines go

[fossil frost]

i hired an architect from a google search, twice, in the last 5 years, because you legally need them to do the drawings for you if you want to do most types of exterior modifications to your house in the uk... to submit to the town

[jaunty cove]

O

[fossil frost]

they make a fucking killing too.... £1000, to draw a rectangle... with another rectangle next to it, and then put some measurements on it

[jaunty cove]

Lol I see

[fossil frost]

architects do this too, this is what they do when they are employed by say, a new home builder, or an office builder... the ones who build speculatively, in the hopes that somebody buys/rents

RedRow in the UK, buy plots of land, and hire an architect to 1. design 4-5 different styles of house, of varying size/price... and 2. lay them out within the land they just bought, to fit the most number of houses in, within the rules set out by the town

[jaunty cove]

Yeah living in the bay area, I know alot of tech workers will need a coax outlet and ethernet port outlets in specific rooms like a office room which older homes lack

[fossil frost]

tbh, you could make a decent living advertising yourself as someone who wires up existing houses, internally, for ethernet/coax

friend of mine does that, plus also installs CCTV (since most of it runs over ethernet anyway)... started on his own about 10 years ago, has about 15 people working for him now

[jaunty cove]

I should

[fossil frost]

hes always said, the hardest part was decideding what to charge people for "putting a wire i bought from the shop, into their house that they own... what do i charge for drilling holes?"

everyone told him, and continues to tell him... you are charging people to know where to drill the holes, and to know HOW to drill the minimum number of holes in the correct place, and you are also charging for the inevitable support that you will need to give when people misunderstand what they have bought

Is the WiFi motherboard just as reliable as cable

[jaunty cove]

He made mgs?

[pliant leaf]

yeah?

[jaunty cove]

Oh

[pliant leaf]

how do you know mgs but not that it's made by kojima his name is in everything

[jaunty cove]

I know the game but I never got into it

[jaunty cove]

Lol"no"

[harsh quartz]

Oh!?

[manic torrent]

No

[waxen turtle]

heya is there a way i can report people here someone did something super messed up here a day or two ago and no mods responded

[primal cairn]

What does it mean

[fossil frost]

Exactly what it says

[tulip summit]

Basically when m2_2 has a drive in it, the first full length pcie slot will only run at half speed

[primal cairn]

Damn that sucks

[tulip summit]

Yeah, you won't really notice much real world but it's not idea

[fossil frost]

its the same on any b series motherboard

you only have so many PCI-E lanes

[tulip summit]

It's honestly not that big of a deal, you could avoid populating your second m.2 and just use the primary as your boot drive and then use a few 2.5inch sata ssds for bulk games storage

[fossil frost]

actually no... wtf... reducing the PCIE_1 down to 8x? thats not normal

M2_1/2/3 usually disable PCIE_2/3/4 (which are usually the secondary 16x, or a 4x/1x slot or slots)

thats a badly made board if it cuts the main slot down to 8x if you use an m2

[tulip summit]

Only in the second m.2 slot though, not the best but don't use that slot and you should be fine if you already have the board

[fossil frost]

the first m2 disabling half the lanes in the main pcie is stupid... and a badly designed board

[tulip summit]

Yeah agreed, but if they already have the board it's not a complete game breaker, they should be fine for whatever they put In it

A mobo this low spec I doubt they're putting any 80 or 90class cards in it

[fossil frost]

what board is that?

[tulip summit]

I'm curious too tbf

[primal cairn]

Asus ProArt X870E-CREATOR WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard

[fossil frost]

its an X class board too? thats shocking

[tulip summit]

Gimme a sec, let me do some research

[fossil frost]

im just trying to find out if the main PCIE slot is PCIE_0 or 1 😄

[tulip summit]

https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/proart/proart-x870e-creator-wifi/

All the info on pcie slots is here

[primal cairn]

Omg I almost got banned because the motherboard I posted was full cap

AM5 MSI MPG x870e carbon WiFi atx

A discord server for pc parts discussion would ban people for posting the things that are known to be written in all caps

[fossil frost]

it doesnt ban you, it just deletes messages where the majority of the message is written in all caps

so yeah, that proart creator board, isnt meant for gaming on, its meant for being a creator. someone who doesnt need/care about the max bandwidth on the gpu

[primal cairn]

What about the MSI board

[tulip summit]

Honestly motherboard doesn't impact performance much at all in gaming

[fossil frost]

thats fine as long as you dont need a second gen5 m2

[tulip summit]

Just grab whatever you need to fit your parts

[fossil frost]

and that too... you are dramatically overspending on your motherboard

[tulip summit]

Exactly, put that extra budget into your gpu

[fossil frost]

B series boards are plenty, the X series are halo products to make the B series look better... and... for professionals who do a specific job and know that they need a specific board to do a specific specialised job... or... for people who have more money than sense and just want to show off

[primal cairn]

It's 4090

[primal cairn]

So I just get a B board then

[distant wolf]

are there any 1440p 144hz monitors for under like 80 dollars

[fossil frost]

no

[distant wolf]

alr

[fossil frost]

yeah, unless you are doing video editing or AI work. professionally that is

[tulip summit]

Damn, better peripherals then

[primal cairn]

I do a bit of video editing

Not professionally

[fossil frost]

professionally? and is that the computers main use?

[fossil frost]

then you dont need a creator board

[primal cairn]

Why would this also run at x8

[fossil frost]

only if you populate both gen5 m.2 slots... if you populate one gen5 and then both gen4s, top slot will still run at 16x

[night linden]

Guys, how do I solve this math problem?
(x+6)^3
my homework said the answer was x^3+18x^2+108x+216
I understand how to get the x^3 and the 216, but not 18x^2 or 108x

[fossil frost]

reddit or a dedicated maths or dedicated homework discord would be best to ask

since here, you have no way to verify the answer

[pallid falcon]

Tech tip:

We dum do math

[tired glade]

Where is half of equation anyway

[digital crest]

[digital crest]

Doesn't the equation need a = and some sort of answer to solve for x?

[primal cairn]

Oh this motherboard doesn't have that problem (if I can trust the website, I don't know personally) I have two gen5 m.2 selected

[night linden]

Yeah, but that problem was just a simplification so the x would theoretically be easier to plug
