[undone aspen]

ahh i wont be using it for music but thats still really cool i think ill just do both tbh ive got the ram and cpu room and then just use whatever i prefer

[harsh cloak]

Always build the PC outside the case as Linus has suggested to test everything works first

[polar fern]

Not really, no outlet to plug-in had to assemble everything

[fierce moth]

I almost use plex exclusively for lossless music lmao

[harsh cloak]

Outlet wdym?

Test bench

[half pewter]

I've a cut case that I specifically use as a test bench

[polar fern]

Where I built the computer on the table did not have a power outlet that was close enough. This table that you see here has a power outlet about a foot away from it.

[undone aspen]

where do you even get lossless files? legally ofc

[harsh cloak]

What does that have to do with the case

You plug in the PSU not the case

I'm so confused

[polar fern]

I’m not just going to randomly put a bunch of components on a tiny little table next to the window where the cats like to jump up on

[livid hornet]

What’s worse for my phone battery
Keeping phone above 80% all the time or keeping phone under 20% all the time?

[polar fern]

You put them in the case and you press the power button and see if it does the thing

[undone aspen]

under 20

[polar fern]

Then I put windows on it a few hours later

[livid hornet]

Specifically having a charge limit and using all the battery vs no charge limit and not using it all

[harsh cloak]

Leaves off the side panel so the cats can access all the components regardless

[livid hornet]

Oh thanks

[undone aspen]

wait

[polar fern]

I was still adjusting some of the cabling actually to make sure everything was plugged in

There’s another picture let me see if I can find it

[livid hornet]

like in this manner

[harsh cloak]

I'm going to use the Haf 700 Evo

For my PC build.

Never have to even worry about cable management that case is so big it makes a 4090 look small

[fierce moth]

Cd's or bandcamp

[livid hornet]

I used my phone alot of cycles before this and usually I'd go like have it go under 20% due to 80% limit I put on it

[fierce moth]

It's gonna vary with artist

[undone aspen]

i think it varies battery to battery and both are bad but letting the battery drain and just exposing it to high/cold temps are much worse

like if i let my phone charge to like 94 percent im like big deal but letting it drain is much worse

[undone aspen]

i have a cd collection

i really enjoyed tidal when I had that

sounds sm better

[livid hornet]

Ok

[polar fern]

There we go

[undone aspen]

maybe im not the guy to talk to tho since my phones battery health is 66 percent

13 pro and i got it like 3 years ago

[polar fern]

Breh

[chrome olive]

If I don't have an aRGB header on my mobo, will my CPU cooler fans still light up? Is the aRGB connection relied on to light it up, or just to control it?

[polar fern]

I actually added a sound card since then

[prime solstice]

I love that case you used

[polar fern]

Yeah. I find it very enjoyable to look at

[undone aspen]

they should still light up

[polar fern]

If the lights have power, they should power on, but they’re just going to be a jumble of color or white

[undone aspen]

you just ofc cant control the lights

[chrome olive]

Ah ok great, that doesn't bother me so it should be fine

[undone aspen]

hope its a good colour

[harsh cloak]

The cable management still makes me cry

[chrome olive]

Hopefully it just defaults to the rainbow shown on the site lmao

But ty

[polar fern]

You could just get a RGB controller they’re not that expensive. If you have a free sata power port on the psu you can power it from that.

then you get a little clicker, remote dealie to change the color patterns

[manic torrent]

Both

[chrome olive]

Huh, mixed advice now lol

[polar fern]

Yeah, unfortunately, I have a USB and memory card hub up in the top which means a lot of cabling goes up there which is where the front audio and stuff also is. I’m looking at the pop air XL potentially because it has the drive bays at the bottom instead of up top

[manic torrent]

Hmm? No I mean on a standard ARGB item it's powered from the ARGB plug.

It has three pins, +5V, GND, and DATA

[polar fern]

You can always get cable extensions if you need them

[manic torrent]

It does not have to be powered from the ARGB plug, but it typically is.

[chrome olive]

Ah got it 🫠

[polar fern]

I should go plug my girlfriend’s car in.

[chrome olive]

Is it possible the Phantom Spirit isn't powered from the ARGB plug-

[manic torrent]

Unlikely

[polar fern]

Are you talking about that thing with the seven heat pipes and two fans?

[chrome olive]

Yeah

Also I've just noticed the Y-cable has a pin missing on one of the ends?

It has 4 on one, and 3 on the other

I'd send a picture but yk-

Am I screwed?

[polar fern]

I’m going to be honest with you and obviously your aesthetic opinion and stuff might be different but I wouldn’t even bother. It’s such an awesome looking cooler without any lights.

You can send me the image and I can post it for you

[fierce moth]

You could probs dump that then

[chrome olive]

Tried to DM it but it says I can't send messages to you

[polar fern]

The restriction seems to be on your end

[chrome olive]

https://imgur.com/a/XVdb3uB

Eh that'll do

Surely this is normal (please-)

[polar fern]

It’s probably for chaining stuff together

[chrome olive]

Oh I see

[polar fern]

That four pin one should be going into the board

[chrome olive]

I thought it was to attach the two fans to the one port

[chrome olive]

Ah wait there's three ends, two male (the one I showed), and a female end

[polar fern]

Yes

[chrome olive]

I presumed that last one went into the board

I'm obv completely new to this 🫠

[polar fern]

Yeah, it should be four pins even if one of the pins is a dummy or something

[chrome olive]

Wait so mine has a missing pin?

[polar fern]

It’s been too long since I put the fans in my new computer, but some of those splitters are for different applications

[chrome olive]

Hmm ok, because on each fan there's a 3-pin connector and a 4-pin one

[polar fern]

Yeah, honestly, I don’t remember and I’m so braindead right now

[chrome olive]

Lol all good

Hmm the tutorial seems to put both 4-pins from each fan in

[polar fern]

From what I remember, actually the four pin is for the fan speed sensor, but that’s so you can put it into a fan header or something. I don’t remember.

[chrome olive]

Hmm I see

[polar fern]

Yeah, the fourth pin gives a voltage reading or something back to the controller

It’s been literally two years since I fiddled with this stuff and a lot has happened since then

OK

I’m actually remembering more now

[chrome olive]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PcBuildHelp/comments/1fs4lpe/thermalright_phantom_spirit_120_ycable/

Seems like it's fine

[polar fern]

So the speed data coming from the fan only needs to be coming from one fan if you are pairing two+ fans together if that makes any sense

[chrome olive]

Lol this cooler upgrade's been going for two hours 🫠

[chrome olive]

Ahh right, that's a relief at least

[polar fern]

Yeah, you just wanna make sure your exhaust fans are tied together with at least one 4 pin all the way back to the board or the controller if it’s a separate component

Exhaust or intake

On the board that I use there are five different fan power headers, however, not only do I have six fans, but the total voltage is a bit more than the onboard fan controller can handle

[patent violet]

Amperage*

[polar fern]

So I have a separate fan controller plugged in with a sata power connectors, and the fan controller cable is plugged into the primary case fan header on the front of the board

[patent violet]

Voltage is steady (12V for Fans)
Amperage is what increases as you add things

[polar fern]

Yes

It’s just barely over the limit at Max power but I didn’t want to risk damaging stuff

[patent violet]

On 3 pin fans you got an RPM (Tach) wire. 12V, RPM, Grnd

4th pin however is PWM

[polar fern]

Mhm

[patent violet]

Instead of using voltage control to control the fan it uses PWM

[polar fern]

Mmmhm

[patent violet]

Oh yeah this looks sexy

[polar fern]

I can smell the loose electrons from here

The only thing I don’t like about DC power is you don’t get the same corona effect

[patent violet]

4160V
3x 2.5 MW Standby Generators
500-ton centrifugal chiller/cooling towers
underfloor chilled water loop for in-row cooling.

[polar fern]

Sounds like a good installation for a hybrid ship

OK, I really should go plug in my girlfriend’s car now though and get some sleep.

[patent violet]

Telecom

[polar fern]

Nice

Night, all 🖖

[patent violet]

[prime solstice]

I wanna see electro boom test the voltage on that

[uneven stirrup]

The 9800x3d is sold out… of back order-preorders

[patent violet]

That thing will give quite a jolt but its got tons of safety systems

[uneven stirrup]

Woah the Epyc chips are able to buy

[sour yacht]

damn. my new case's vertical gpu bracket thingy interferes with anti-sag gpu holder thingy... stays crooked and cant put the top screw

[half pewter]

That's an interesting issue

[sour yacht]

yeah i would never guess 😄 didnt even think about it when i was choosing a new case

guess itll stay crooked :/

[half pewter]

I'm guessing you don't like the look of a stand inside the case?

[sour yacht]

i dont like wasting money 😛 the one im using was provided in box with the 7900xtx

[half pewter]

Danm. I gotta by a new card for once.

[sour yacht]

and a crooked bracket on the back side is still less visible than an internal anti sag thingy

i mean... it wouldnt be the worst since those 3x8pin cables would hide it

but still an unnecessary expense for now.

[half pewter]

True.

[amber cradle]

take the vertical bracket thingy out

[sour yacht]

would leave a huge gaping hole on the back side

[amber cradle]

air pressure in the case wont really make that fact matter if there's more air going in than out.

[sour yacht]

i mean... it would still look worse than slightly crooked cover 😄

[amber cradle]

you could probs flip the bracket around to the other side of the case tho

[sour yacht]

nop. it has 2 legs

[amber cradle]

like flip the sheet metal to the other side of the case so its on the inside of the case? its not possible?

[sour yacht]

nop. only fits one way

[amber cradle]

a h o k a y

[sour yacht]

only way to make it straight would be bending the bracket. but i might end up making it look worse 😄

imo its not that bad rn...

[amber cradle]

maybe crush the lip of the bracket down so the screw's are accessible? yeah its not too bad

like set it on a flat surface and fold the bracket along the lip

or cut it off with snips

i tend to improvise too much when it comes to cheaper cases. gotta make it work for me somehow.

[amber cradle]

I didn't think it could fit but that's a kraken 280 and a rtx 4070 Ti super mounted into an nzxt h210i. I had to remove so many brackets and screws to make everything fit inside.

half a mm of clearance between the rad and connector

maybe less

[desert breach]

Guys, what’s a fair price for used MBP 14 M1 Pro?

[amber cradle]

a fair price would be free but im too much of a cheapskate to really tell you how much i think it should cost.

[sour yacht]

gj. i prolly wouldnt have that kinda problems. its a big case for mid tower... i'd imagine any 120-140-240-280-360 would fit easily... maybe even some 420s

this is just a weird one off issue 😄 incompatibility with this specific type of anti sag brackets

[amber cradle]

that's what I'm saying. you'll have to think outside of the box to really get what you want.

[desert breach]

Lol, one MBP M1 Pro here, please and thank you.

[long briar]

Please. Clean. Your. Tempered. Glass.

[desert breach]

Seriously though, if anyone could help, it would be much appreciated.

[amber cradle]

its the protector for the glass. glass cleaner would make it worse

[long briar]

you didn't peel it?

[amber cradle]

nope. dont need to really

[long briar]

also glass cleaner on glass makes it better GRANTED you usea clean towel

[desert breach]

Linus is having a mental breakdown over this.

[long briar]

people who don't peel are weird

[sour yacht]

just pushing it harder than usual and friction fitting in place seems like a passable solution 😄 the problem will solve itself if my next gpu comes with a different type of anti sag thingy

[sour yacht]

i didnt peel my glass side panel either 😄

[long briar]

Monsters.

[desert breach]

Reminds me of people who keep using phones with peel.

[amber cradle]

now hold on here! i DID peel it on my zotac fish tank case but this one doesn't really need it. its a free scratch protector.

[manic torrent]

You disgust me

[desert breach]

Seconded that.

[sour yacht]

but imma peel the acrylic one soon. just moved my stuff the new case

[manic torrent]

People who don't peel go to the bad place

[sour yacht]

i wont peel the glass one cuz i wont use it 😄

imma peel the acrylic tho ^^

[amber cradle]

i COULD use maybe a microfiber cloth and some water but i dont think two years of light buildup is going to matter all that much

[long briar]

This is mine. Notice no peel

[manic torrent]

Irrelevant. It's the not peeling that's disgusting.

[desert breach]

Apple asked for 380$ to replace my MBP screen from 2019 but valued my entire laptop for 180$ in trade discount after I fixed the screen 💀

[long briar]

it's the peel being plastic that it's impossible to clean, though.

[manic torrent]

And it being specifically for protection of that surface in shipping and installation

[sour yacht]

two years of light buildup from my old case 😄

[long briar]

smoker?

[desert breach]

What are you doing?

[manic torrent]

And that by not peeling it, you're making it look worse so that the next owner can have it look perfect - or even better, so it can look perfect in the landfill

[amber cradle]

i changed cases with this build often putting them back in the box to compensate for old hardware that couldnt fit but im at the point now to where i found well performance parts that fit into this first case.

[long briar]

The irony that I've actually cleaned my side panel ONCE with a single use glasses cleaning cloth

[amber cradle]

yummers

[long briar]

(I love microplastics)

[sour yacht]

imma clean it and build a secondary rig with r5 5600

[amber cradle]

ill reuse this case until ITX isnt a standard anymore.

[long briar]

So peel that

or get a custom side panel that has airflow

[amber cradle]

but i have cats so no scratches.

[long briar]

Glass.

Glass is harder than cats claws

5.5 vs 2.5

[amber cradle]

if anything id get a solid metal panel if possible

[desert breach]

Anyone?

[sour yacht]

u can get an acrylic one for cheap... and paint it black with metallic spray paint or something

would look close enough i guess

[amber cradle]

it just eases my conscience plus side is if it ever shatters most of it will still be attached to the plastic as well

[long briar]

...

weirdos

doesn't even have thumbscrews

[manic torrent]

... What the fuck difference does that make. You're still choosing to make it look worse.

[sour yacht]

i used thumbscrews to mount my mobo to the standoffs 😄

[amber cradle]

that could work. maybe even a thick piece of lidex i could use to defend myself with......jk

[amber cradle]

ill just clean it then. probably in a few hours before i crash.

[manic torrent]

That is amazingly unlikely

[manic torrent]

... It won't work.

The entire point of the peel is to be protective when in transit

Not to be there while in use

[long briar]

actually

[manic torrent]

It's not designed or intended to be cleaned, it's intended to be disposed of.

[long briar]

H210 is such a hotbox the peel might be melted on

[manic torrent]

Perfection

[amber cradle]

you might be right on that lmao.

i9 11900k and 32gb of ddr4 4600 and a 40 series card. very toasty.

[long briar]

wait

you're cooling an 11900k with a 120mm aio?

[amber cradle]

blower 40 series in fact

[manic torrent]

Oh fuck yeah

[long briar]

blower is actually good in this case

[manic torrent]

Perfection again

[amber cradle]

280

[long briar]

it stops air recycling

[short rock]

the watch charger lmao

[long briar]

oh right H210i is huge

[long briar]

no it's actually so handy

you don't even know

[amber cradle]

its finagled in there in a very interesting way because a 280mm is not meant to fit inside of the case as well

[short rock]

I do the same thing

hang it in such a way it is perfect as a desk clock

[long briar]

oh

[amber cradle]

and its the newer version of their aio with the f140p fans too

[long briar]

I don't do that actually

I can't wear a watch at my desk

so I just charge it when I'm at my desk

put it on when I leave the house

[short rock]

can I ask why that is

[long briar]

my wrist is always on top of a wrist rest, the watch band adds extra pressure

[manic torrent]

Yep. Same. Watches annoy me. The newer fabric bands are great though

[short rock]

this might seem kinda stupid but

just wear it further up?

[amber cradle]

I'm just glad I'm able to run 4 pcs in my room without the breaker tripping. im actually going to convert my closet into a second setup soon so my friends have a pc to play on without bsod'ing my personal one

[long briar]

it would just slide down

[amber cradle]

too many electronics in my room not to mention im running a few fans to help circulate air

[long briar]

I'd have to effectively wear it up to my forearm

it's easier to just take it off

[short rock]

oh your wristwrests are longer

makes sense then

[long briar]

and because it's a smartwatch, might as well give it a charge

[short rock]

which one do you have?

[long briar]

Oneplus Watch 2R

[amber cradle]

I even cut a hole in my door to install an ac infinity air register booster to automatically exhaust air whenever the room gets hot.

[manic torrent]

Wow, your DIY skills know no bounds

[amber cradle]

Probably going to replace it with one of their server cabinet exhausts or a larger register booster eventually so all I really have to do is make the hole larger.

I believe they are standard sized fans as well so you could technically install noctua fans as well with some custom connectors. Also this is my watch.

[long briar]

can't tell which that is

[amber cradle]

a moto watch 100. its what i could afford at the time.

[long briar]

Ahh

My fitbit sense died so I tried out a mi band

[amber cradle]

its also waterproof to an extent so its great for work

[long briar]

didn't like it

so I got the watch 2r because it seemed cool and battery is great for a wearos

[short rock]

how long do your watches last

[long briar]

ah band 8 pro

[amber cradle]

2 weeks or more if the battery is calibrated correctly.

[long briar]

like lifespan or battery life

[short rock]

dang that's good

[short rock]

how long the thing lasts on a full charge

[long briar]

ahh

[short rock]

I only get like 4 or 5 days

[long briar]

I always use AOD so it was I think about 2-3 days with fitbit sense? upwards of 5-7 days with the band 8 pro, I've never ran the watch 2r down to zero but I've been close to zero at about 2.5 days aod

[amber cradle]

it will drop down by a whole percent or two if there are too many notifications going on my phone or if i let an alarm go for too long. but it usually lasts a day or two less if its a busy upload schedule that week for youtubers im subbed to.

[short rock]

I use AoD asw

[long briar]

but that's including tracking HR and other sports

like I do do sports and use GPS and stuff on the watches

part of the justification to move away from the G-Shock

other part was that the gshock was too big

idr which model it was but it was round, blue, fully digital and could probably survive a bombing

[alpine gale]

My FitBit Inspire 2 lasts 9-12 days, depending on how active I am whilst wearing it. Recently picked up an older Versa 2 for el-cheapo just to see how it functions - it lasts an absolutely unacceptable 3 days with Always On Display, and a more acceptable but still bad 5 ish days without Always On Display.

[sour yacht]

u happy now?

[long briar]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[short rock]

mine has all the tracking stuff on, I also use it to play music (saved on the watch) durnig commutes, AoD, and I use it whenever I go hiking/cycling

so 4-5 days after 2 years seems pretty good

[long briar]

yea I had 6 days AOD with that mi band

but it's like

not worth the tradeoff

[amber cradle]

whoose weed-wacking?

[long briar]

I'd rather use the gshock than the mi band

[short rock]

does the fitbit have built in GPS?

[sour yacht]

using it horizontally 😄 free vertical gpu lifehack... no need fror riser cables either.

[last basalt]

Chat, is Iobit safe to use? Or is it a PUP?

[long briar]

I believe they only added that in the sense and charge 4

Inspire 2 and Versa 2 is older than those

[amber cradle]

dont use it. pretty simple if your that worried.

[short rock]

no need for a support bracket either lmao

[long briar]

well the versa 2 is, inspire 2 is one of those more traditional bands that doesn't have space for gps

[last basalt]

Yeah i was gonna use to download softwares amd drivers but just read smth about it on windows community saying its lil shady

Any alternative?

[alpine gale]

Versa 2 has connected GPS which is just a fancy way of saying "yes it has GPS, and by this we actually mean the GPS data comes from your phone." I don't like marketing terms that cause consumer confusion.
https://device101.fitbit.com/guides/versa-2-101.html

[amber cradle]

looked it up and yeah....never use software like that

[short rock]

yea I see that lmao

[amber cradle]

windows has the disk cleanup utility built in so...

[alpine gale]

PuP. No, bad, don't use software to update drivers. Ever. Get drivers from the manufacturer. ALWAYS.

[short rock]

what about......... the people that made the thing you want to download drivers for?

heard they're the best on the market

[last basalt]

Aight omw to download Hp support assistant and intel DSA

[alpine gale]

Those are indeed going to be your best bets if this is an HP prebuilt computer.

[short rock]

also, holy crap the versa 2 is expensive as current retail

111$??

[alpine gale]

Erm, I mean, technically it's been discontinued for a while now, so anywhere still selling them likely is either a) third party seller or b) [un]intentionally ripping people off. 🤣

[last basalt]

It is, yes... Also yk where I can get the VCredist AIO?

[long briar]

this is the AOD watch face I use

[short rock]

any reason why this bar is blue?

[long briar]

it's dimmer than it looks in picture

[amber cradle]

holiday???

[short rock]

been like that for 3 days now

[long briar]

but it's reminicent of my swatch irony back in the day in the dark

[alpine gale]

I recommend only getting VCRedist's from Microsoft, or from the software developers that provide the redistributables with their software as required. But if you must... https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist

[amber cradle]

its green for me on the app

[last basalt]

Cool thanks mr mod

[short rock]

both 3rd party and used sellers are asking for atleast 100 USD. I'm just clueless.

[alpine gale]

Nah, you're not clueless - I have found that the Versa series has held their value well enough as they age. Google still supports them (or at least, the Versa 2 and newer) so they're still worth something.

[amber cradle]

also speaking of weird prices....y'all know they scalping 5800x3d's on amazon for over 900 dollars? wack.

[short rock]

i forgot google aquired fitbit a while back

yeah in that case it'd make sense

[amber cradle]

cant find any new ones at regular price. someone bought them all up.

ill probably have to have someone drive me to microcenter again uuuuugh.

[short rock]

cough cough cryptominers cough

you can't order from microcenter anymore

I'm not from/in the US but I'm pretty sure microcenter does deliveries

[amber cradle]

i have a physical store 30 mins away. they still usually have old stock. (im in their home state of ohio)

so we have like...5 of them in our state.

if not i can still get a 5900xt or a 5950x but thats kinda overkill.

ive got no reason to go with am5 as of right now so my spare has a 5700g in case the 11900k starts to become unable to run my games for some reason.

[pliant karma]

Certain items they will do shipping, but everything else in store or you can reserve for pickup which you have 3 days from the time you placed the order to go to the store.

[amber cradle]

This is my spare under the desk.

Everything like the GPU and ram is getting transplanted over and I'm probably going to sell my intel based system soon to get rid of my spare parts like the 10th gen i3 and pay for a new power supply and additional m.2

that case is pretty rare now here in the us too (CH510 Mesh Digital) since deepcool is currently banned in the USA as of right now.

Installing steam using winget when Microsoft

[pallid falcon]

What the fuck

Does microsoft even have rights to redistribute

[manic torrent]

... You can winget just about anything

[patent violet]

Its not redistributing... its a wrapper that pulls from the originial source

and runs it silently (usually)

its basically chocolatey

[sonic spruce]

What’s better, a 120 or 128gb ssd?

[manic torrent]

... Sticking a knitting needle in your eye

[pallid falcon]

Microsoft maintains the list i assume

[patent violet]

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

[sonic spruce]

If I could I would

[manic torrent]

It's a fundamentally silly question

[smoky badge]

[manic torrent]

A 120gb and a 128gb SSD are the same. Either the 120gb is under allocated for safety and longevity, OR, because the nand is trash tier.

[patent violet]

Usually they are 128 GB drives with 8GB of buffer

[short rock]

25$ more for a 512gb ssd. and even that's not enough these days.

[patent violet]

i forgot what you call that partition

[pallid falcon]

Oh cool

[manic torrent]

Not a partition but... Extra cycle space

[patent violet]

over provisioning

wait

Yes

[manic torrent]

Point is, it doesn't matter, what the fuck are you buying a 128gb SSD for.

[patent violet]

Hey now

I got loads of those sitting around for various reasons

[manic torrent]

Sitting around not in systems? Because they are too small to be useful? 😄

[short rock]

loads of 128gb SSDs.........

[manic torrent]

It's not that you can't use them, but there are very very very few circumstances where I would buy one.

[patent violet]

Some are even 64GB with old clones of data or obscure shit

yeah id prob wouldnt buy one now

I got a shit load from the Art institute auction

[sonic spruce]

Thank you for just saying that

[sonic spruce]

I’m aware. I was just curious if the 8gbs were actually being used for something or not

[sonic spruce]

Some people buy them as boot drives for plex servers running all their storage on HDDs

[smoky badge]

I was running my server off a 256gb SSD, but docker images were taking up so much damn space

[sonic spruce]

Or in my dad’s case. 128gbs is enough, he don’t need more, despite me telling him to atleast add hdd also or something as a secondary drive

https://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Common_Carrier/FAQ/cic_faq.html look at this relic of a website

[patent violet]

You will find that a bunch of those USB C to m.2 enclosures are exactly this

just with... an enclosure

This is the JMicron dev and example board for their controller

the smaller enclosures usually just cut it at that line right there

[pallid falcon]

Last update 1998

So much for modernizing

[long briar]

you see, if I 3d print an enclosure out of petg so it doesn't melt... I save 15 bucks

[patent violet]

transition.fcc.gov was when they were switching over to DoD Holdings for management and hosting

so that page is actually a left over relic

[patent violet]

The sabrent enclosure is this. Literally a copy of one of the other dev board types shoved into a full aluminium enclosure

[long briar]

Yep!!

saving the 5-15 bucks of the enclosure and 3d printing one that functionally is the same

I'd do that instead

I meant to clarify that's what I did*

the board was cheap af and I just printed an enclosure

I mean it's your money, do what you want

But I find it unlikely you'd see much benefit from the extra money.

[fierce moth]

i think it will be a plenty big jump from a 5600

A 9900X is $300 cheaper and I doubt you'd notice the difference

My brother recently bought an Acer predator Helios Neo 16 and I helped him make a video about it, is there somewhere I can post it to get any future advice or comments about the same and if people are planning to buy it they can have a look and ask for any tests etc too.

Or in self promo channels of discord servers

What about psu and gpu?

[short rock]

what is that

[fast parrot]

I've been trying to fix my old TV recently, and while some issues were resolved (refusing to turn on and occasional artifacts) it still restarts randomly. I already replaced the mainboard, so this is likely just a power supply failure

it restarts only when I am trying to do something

[rare otter]

I feel smort

I jailbroke my ps3

Without anyone's help

I know that's not very impressive but for me being the dumbass I am. It is

And I did it all with a 4 gig flash drive that I bought for a dollar

Best dollar I've ever spent

[autumn perch]

Nice

[cerulean canopy]

solution you are looking for is a nas

[heady orchid]

too much money to spend when i can just swap between PC

[cerulean canopy]

what is the budget?

maybe your router has a usb port which hdd can be plugged into and it will act as a network share

[heady orchid]

router does not have usb port

cheapest option is probably one of those cheap kvm switch

[summer folio]

Sounds like a reliability

[arctic basalt]

Hi guys Im new here so i dknt know if this is right chanel to post this but I was going to buy laptop and i have 2 options first one:
Asus rog scar 2 gl704gm
Cpu i7 8750h gtx 1060
16 gb ram
1tb ssd

Or second option

Asus Rog Strix  G15 G513IH
Ryzen 7 4800h
Gtx 1650
16gb ram
512 gb storage

Wich one out if these 2 is better for me to buy?

[prime solstice]

The one with 1tb ssd

But also 1650 is better

[tulip river]

who needs storage

[arctic basalt]

1650 is better then 1060

[fossil frost]

you can upgrade the SSD, you cant upgrade the GPU

[arctic basalt]

Soo i should go with 1650?

I mean i will play like 3 games

League cs2 and idk man

I already have 2tb m2 ssd ready to upgrade

[fossil frost]

1650 will play them slightly better than the 1060 would... but its your money, im not here to tell you what you should and shouldnt do.. im just here to say what may and may not be relevant

[arctic basalt]

Nah you say 1650 is better i trust you bro

[echo valley]

is 16gb ram enough for 4060 and 7700x

[arctic basalt]

16 gb is ok

Depends if you gonna have game on,discord and coulle of tabs open

Or 1 tab of google chrome

[eager notch]

Don't worry, I'm just updating the firmware on my fucking mop

[arctic basalt]

Bro same

[arctic basalt]

I upgraded it on my blender

[fossil frost]

its fine yeah

well, i say its fine.. its fine if all you are doing is basic usage plus gaming.. if you are doing software development, cad, video editing... anything that EATS ram... no, its not enough

[echo valley]

[eager notch]

Yeah, tbf my mop/vacuum has lidar, 3d light scanning and an RGB camera

[eager notch]

Yeah, i just got mine because I hate cleaning my floors so if the robot can do 80% of the maintenance, I'll be happy

[fossil frost]

i hate cleaning the floor too, so my wife does it 😄

i do all the cooking though, so shes fine with doing the cleaning

[eager notch]

I don't have one of those,

how do you acquire one?

[fossil frost]

the first one, i met at a club... she resigned after 15 years... the current one, im still not sure, aquired completely by accident

[eager notch]

If she hasn't caught on yet, try and keep her in the dark

[uneven stirrup]

Meh

32gb kits are generally cheaper

You can pick up a 32gb kit for under $100

And a 16gb kit cost about $70-80

If you are going for ultra budget there are 40-50 16gb kits but generally I would recommend 32gb

[fossil frost]

cheapest 3600mhz kit at a good retailer that i just found was £30, cheapest 3600 32gb loit os 49.50... so on average, per gb, 32 is pennies cheaper... they are equivalent costs

[uneven stirrup]

I think they are on ddr5

[fossil frost]

if you are going DDR5, i had to look at 5600mhz to even find a 16gb kit... and then, £46 for 16gb, and £84 for 32

so, its not a trivial price difference

[solemn goblet]

Gonna be 35F tonight here

32F on Wednesday night

[graceful burrow]

That's open window weather

[gilded quest]

We are from very different climates

[solemn goblet]

I guess Thanksgiving isn’t gonna be warm this year

[gilded quest]

Aldo, it's like low 50s today and I'm bundled up with the fire on in my house

[solemn goblet]

We are close to getting a new heater. We will wait another week at max.

[graceful burrow]

It's 46 rn and my windows are mostly open

[fossil frost]

7c (44f) here, still in shorts and tshirt while running this afternoon

3c is where base layers start getting worn 😄

[graceful burrow]

Hell yeah

The shorts turn into pants for me at below 15f real feel

[fossil frost]

0c is where i might wear a hat for the first 15 minutes of the run, but then it gets thrown into a bush

when i go running, i run very very hot 😄

almost immediately start over heating

[solemn goblet]

I wore shorts in 10F before

[graceful burrow]

That's not that bad

[steel marsh]

12C to 10C here

[graceful burrow]

I've worn shorts in -40f real temps, I think with wind chill it was like -92f
45mph gusts don't fuck about

That being said
It was only from my front door to the car which was already heated

Frostbite is real and it doesn't give a shit

[solemn goblet]

Can’t wait for a snowstorm this season

Walking in thick snow is the best

[lyric sphinx]

Well I like to do things to snow people and that is very cold

[fossil frost]

thick snow allows me to justify my semi-fat tyres on my mountain bike... any other time, they are absolute overkill, in the snow, they are incredible 😄

[solemn goblet]

Ayyy I think I have a mountain bike

[lyric sphinx]

Good for sand as well

[fossil frost]

sand immediately turns brakes into metallic dust, and can fully wear down a fresh chain, in a single ride

[lyric sphinx]

You mean it wears the wearable parts

[fossil frost]

wearable parts that are supposed to last 10s of 1000s of km, wear in 10s of km

which reminds me.. my rear wheel looks like a pringle, and has fewer spokes than it should have 😄

need to get that sorted this weekend

[lyric sphinx]

That's why you don't put disc brakes on a sand bike

[fossil frost]

so, the rim, the expensive part of the wheel, can be the wearable part?

[lyric sphinx]

Yep fuck them wheels

[fossil frost]

while that is how i feel about wheels when riding... i feel less like that about my wheels when i have to fix them

[lyric sphinx]

I mean typically you are not doing long distances on sand anyway

Always use rental bikes for sand is what I am hearing

[fossil frost]

my riding style is closer to XC and enduro than anything else, i prefer to do the distance, with some mild technical ability... and then a bit of a reward of going back down where you just went up... in a striaght line

i love spending a hour winding my way up a mountain, to get back down it in 6 minutes 😄

[edgy edge]

[meager shell]

[lyric sphinx]

All downhill all day

If I am on my mountain bike my hybrid I use for commuting mostly

[fossil frost]

im a road rider in the spring/summer/autumn. mtb is for winter, because road riding in winter is too iffy

[lyric sphinx]

Now I say this having not gone on a downhill course in like 7 years

Since I left Oregon

[fossil frost]

friend of mine just bought a ebike for doing bike park stuff.. guy who has never done sport, of any kind, for his entire life, at 40, discovered emtb bikepark stuff... eeb's up the hills, switches it off for the downhills... seeing some of his instagram stuff has made me want to join him on my non-e-bike

because even with his motor, i would keep up with him without one

[lyric sphinx]

Lol I have not gone ebike yet

Even though it would help when towing my 100 pounds of children

[fossil frost]

i ride for fitness, training for ironman again from january... so its just not for me, but i do understand why others use it, and i would rather them get an ebike and use it, than do nothing at all

riding an ebike is better than sitting on the couch

[lyric sphinx]

That is true I use mine for fitness when I actually get to ride it

But mostly I'm fittin' this whole pizza in my mouth

I say as I am at the gym for chest and back day

[fossil frost]

thats what my fitness training started from, i like food, and i dont want to eat less food, so i train more 😄

[lyric sphinx]

That is the lifestyle but I have changed eating habits too which helps a lot

[fossil frost]

i changed some of what i eat, but that was more out of that i was bored of what i was eating

[lyric sphinx]

All protein all the time

I gotta go grill chicken when I get home

Oh and I might toss shrimp on the grill too

And cook some carnitas

But when am I making potato leek soup

[fossil frost]

i try and average 40/40/20 protein/cabs/fat for me, balanced enough to where i have enough carbs to start me off doing training, and then enough protein and fat to keep me going as i go long (yesterdays medium paced run was 2 hours long, and was followed by a meaty pizza)

my dogs do like when i do grilled chicken days though... because they sniff around and pretend to be cute, so they get some off-cuts 😄

[lyric sphinx]

Yeah I started incorporating chia seeds for the fiber

[near zealot]

bit random but could you make a liquid nitrogen cpu cooler

[fossil frost]

yes, thats what extreme overclockers do

its all open loop though, and the liquid nitrogen boils off, because if it was sealed, it would explode

ive never heard of them do it... but they can

[graceful burrow]

[fossil frost]

they are also often stolen keys from other sources

I also have heard of them taking stuff like that down, but I really don't think spending over 100 bucks to turn down my brightness is right either

[harsh quartz]

Oh god, it’s a British shark

[grim belfry]

Or do it inside Windows, if your monitor support DDC/CI

You read your monitor user manual to understand how the buttons on your monitors work, then make changes to your monitor settings using those buttons.

I have windows 11 home activated on my laptop, can I active windows 11 home on my pc using that? Or would I have to buy a whole new key

[manic torrent]

Haha yeah it's hilarious there's a bunch of old exchanges that are huuuuge rooms with like... A rack in the middle.

[alpine gale]

Did Windows 11 come with your laptop? Or did you purchase it as a Retail key?

[dry bloom]

Came with the laptop

[patent violet]

Its amazing that our answer to digital modernization of the Telco network was just take the analog and connect it to a single or 2 racks somewhere pasted on the floor

[alpine gale]

Then legally you will need to purchase a license for your other PC. The license that comes with a computer is usually an OEM license, which is valid only for that computer.

[dry bloom]

[pliant karma]

👀 me looking at my excel spreadsheet

[patent violet]

But when you buy this key, you can transfer that one instead

[manic torrent]

It's even more hilarious at larger inner city exchanges where we had to bring in a bunch of extra cooling because the analog stuff didn't care

[patent violet]

And take it with you

I usually assume these builds are stripped for newer videos and the bulk of it sitting in storage

like the mineral water cooled PC

and that they constantly pull the CPU and GPU around since it's more economical to do that than buy a new 4090 every time

[manic torrent]

Yes, that is normal

[shut lichen]

Probably recently disassembled since the 180 day challenge ended

[short rock]

no update after the second month, atleast that I can see

[lost stratus]

yall always think ztt is toxic

butttt

the most toxic got banned (he was the highest rank/mee6 rank)

[graceful burrow]

Ok
Anyway lol

Interserver drama is cringe

[lilac bear]

I don't even know what that is

[graceful burrow]

Based

[manic torrent]

Wow, so now it's slightly less shit? Congrats I guess?

[strange iris]

[short rock]

[ashen hamlet]

[manic torrent]

was there a question in there somewhere?

[pallid falcon]

I think they want to fry a egg

[flat linden]

yes i need to fix the ishu i tryed evry thing i ned help

[manic torrent]

You tried everything other than describing what the problem is, what you've tried and what you think is wrong ?

[flat linden]

the wlan driver is not avalble that is the ishue

[manic torrent]

ok, so how did you set it up, and how is that presenting as an error. what distribution are you using.

[neon mesa]

i forgot encode/decode is called codec i end up making this stupid name

[rare otter]

Jailbreaking a ps3 is peak

[flat linden]

i usd a lan cable and a usb network adaptor and reinstaling lynix and it is showing no interface

[flat linden]

it is showing no network interface

[neon mesa]

a bit related, intellisense really makes you do proper typing of functions and parameters since they kinda don't work if a function parameter isn't typed

[manic torrent]

haha yes, it makes it worthwhile 🙂

[neon mesa]

also seeing the text be just plain white without any color from the intellisense triggers me

[manic torrent]

• doubt.

what linux are you "reinstalling"

and how/where is it "showing no interface"

[neon mesa]

ah i love flow state, a week of procrastination then blast it hours on end in the 7th day

you feel like you redeemed yourself lmao

[flat linden]

the linux vershon is vmx and i will send a pic of the eror code

for some reason i cant send the pic here wiil send it in privete

[manic torrent]

you can't send to public chat because whitename noob. You can send in any other channel

[flat linden]

i alrady sent it in privete

[manic torrent]

https://pdocs.kauailabs.com/vmx-pi/software/libraries-tools-for-raspberry-pi/getting-started/

it seems like you have failed to follow the basic instructions

[flat linden]

no i did it the right way

[manic torrent]

because the version of linux is not VMX, it's raspbian, it just includes VMX software

[flat linden]

the guy that instaled it told me it is vmx

[manic torrent]

Ok, so someone else installed it

and you have no idea what you're doing

I feel like there's a lot you're leaving out here

[flat linden]

yes he is with me right now he told me to aske here for help becuse he recoded moste of the fermware to make it worck

[manic torrent]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1twvOYg8uyKszPGgpeqBtM-xJwPmzCsdQFR36gG_oc-M/edit?tab=t.0

if you set it up as per the instructions

wifi is disabled

[flat linden]

no he cheked that ist is not desabled there is no drivers

if wifi is desabled we can still use it with lan but noting works

[manic torrent]

You have no idea what you're talking about. It's not possible for it "not to have drivers"

[flat linden]

i dont but he dose he told me to aske for help here i am talking with you and he is trubleshoting it right now

[manic torrent]

So I am getting 500$ for 5900x + mobo + cooler + 2 ssd + ram.

Will be switching to 9800x3d which will cost me around 1100$ which includes mobo + 32 gb ram + 2 tb SSD + cooler to swap

[fossil frost]

i once forgot the word "decode" and used "unencode" everywhere 😄

[split bramble]

How big of a difference do you think this will make in games and stuff 🤔

[fossil frost]

depends on the games, and whether or not they are GPU limited or CPU limited, or neither, or both

[foggy sphinx]

ahhhgggg

[marble hinge]

Basically excepting frames jump upto 30% in 1440p since I own 4090 also

[split bramble]

Dayum

i am on a 3090 with a 5950x

but i haven't had any cpu limitations afaik

(i game in 4k so thats a big factor in this)

[harsh quartz]

That’s not an omelette

[flint mountain]

certain streaming services are tempting me to sail the seven seas

[graceful burrow]

Weak

[full fossil]

ello

[summer folio]

Surely there is no difference in 1440p either xP

[split bramble]

huh?

[summer folio]

People eat 1/6th of pizzas?

[summer folio]

5950x fairly new, no?

3090 strong card

[split bramble]

oh well i just ment that i am not cpu limited a better cpu could help in some games i play but not many

[summer folio]

x3d chips just made for the 720p/1080p gamers

[split bramble]

but i am gpu limited in quite a few games

yes gpu limited with a 3090

[full fossil]

That’s a slice of Costco Pizza

[split bramble]

Or factory game enjoyes like factorio

like me

[full fossil]

8x V100’s ftw like me fr

[split bramble]

[summer folio]

Well, civilisation 7 out in 2025

5950 is recommended for high/4k

[split bramble]

what the hell

[summer folio]

I believe 28/32 threads recommended because 4K would have 4 times as much visible for the cpu to compute or the likes

[split bramble]

still what the hell does it do with 32 threads

[summer folio]

But could also be just random cpu picked

time will tell

[split bramble]

i bet you it does a whole lot of nothing with most of those 32 threads

[summer folio]

hehe, if thats the case 7800x3d would perform better yes

Just feel they should had said 7700x or 9700x recommend then

[split bramble]

Honestly i kinda wish i had a x3d variant at times

but i already bought the best i could at the time i build my pc 🤣

x3d wasn't out yet nor was the 3090ti

[summer folio]

feels weird to pick the first 16 core consumer cpu for 4K recommended, if more threads than 16 would not had been preferable

[split bramble]

yea idk

but even picking a top of the line cpu to begin with sounds insane to me

[summer folio]

Surely 9950x3D will have 2* the 3D cache compared to the 9800x3D

[summer folio]

Gotta save up now then for that 5090 Ti Super Duper Ultra

[prisma kernel]

hi

[split bramble]

For me the issue is not affording it for me the issue is my hearth surviving buying it

jokes aside i don't expect to feel the need to upgrade for a while when it comes to performance

if anything I'd like triple 4k monitors
(currently i have 2x 1080p and 1x 4k)

[summer folio]

Hehe nice!

I bought 32" monitors,
works great as TV replacement

[split bramble]

i don't really even notice the pixel density as much as you'd expect to notice but you just have so much more realestate on a 4k monitor even with 150% scaling it's insane

[summer folio]

Worse for gaming,
I can't see the minimap on League & be close enough to the screen to have focus without glasses

[split bramble]

Idk why but i am not a fan of big monitors

main one is 28 inch other 2 are 24 inch

[summer folio]

Imagine having to put on glasses just to play video games :S

[rare otter]

Running gta v

[split bramble]

I haven't really had that issue on 4k with any game except for mc but that one you can scale the gui in so also a non issue

[summer folio]

Same. 23,6" 120hz 1080p was peak

[split bramble]

I love my setup tho very neatly wired

took me 2 days to do 🤣

i still have a few cables on my desk though cuz i didn't wanna drill holes or anything

Why does Linus only has 2 texts in 7 years in this server

[full fossil]

I think cause everyone is afraid to mention him

Just a theory though.

[graceful burrow]

It's against server rules to

You'll get in trouble if you do

He does have more messages, just in channels you don't have access to

[dusk chasm]

hey guys, i wanted to know which is the best laptop sub 1.3k, basically around 1kish?

[echo valley]

ohh

[fossil frost]

depends on the currency that 1k is in

[dusk chasm]

usd lol

[fossil frost]

what do you want to do with the laptop? "best laptop" is dependant on what you want to do with it

[dusk chasm]

lets see, im gonna be doing gaming, not intensive tho, want most games to run smoothly but if i plan to play a bit more intensive in the future its gotta handle that (i wanna play assetto corsa with pp filters and allat, forza asw), i have to start studying for a competitive exam next year so theres that aswell, screens gotta be nice, whenever i watch movies the basement looks like the laptops turned off ;-;. So ig id want a gaming laptop, i had done some research and the lenovo legion slim 5 but want some dude whos got actual knowledge to advice me
