lmao imagine

i love taxes

[tired glade]

4090 never dropped below MSRP,so yea

[obsidian oracle]

i can find used ones for $1450

heck even $1100 lmfao

[barren kindle]

lowkey might just swap to team red for my next gpu

nvidia so expenny

[obsidian oracle]

get ready to lose your voting privileges

[tired glade]

We are hoping AMD will challenge 5080 with next gen

[obsidian oracle]

they said they aint chasing no high end shit

[tired glade]

Are they considering 5080 as high end?

[obsidian oracle]

who doesnt 💀

[barren kindle]

thats pretty high end bruh

[tired glade]

Marketing department

[obsidian oracle]

its not like they ever reached to 4090 levels of performance, let alone do that twice

[mint yacht]

They aren't

[tired glade]

Wait CES

[obsidian oracle]

upmost they will match 5060, watch it

[mint yacht]

They have said that they're not making a high end RX 8000 card

[obsidian oracle]

mazda rx8

[tired glade]

8gb 8600 let's go

[obsidian oracle]

old ahh naming scheme looking

[barren kindle]

i stil lhavnt got the hand of intel new naming scheme

[tired glade]

5060 ti 16gb for 700 incoming

[barren kindle]

if it can even be considered new anymore

[obsidian oracle]

gpu?

[barren kindle]

no cpu

[obsidian oracle]

why bother

who even considers intel as an option in 2024

[barren kindle]

the 4 digit ones

honestly yeah

[mint yacht]

3 digit

[obsidian oracle]

intel core 2 ultra 9 series 200

[barren kindle]

worst nightmare

[tired glade]

They switched to 3 digits

[mint yacht]

You added some extra numbers

[barren kindle]

did they actually

[obsidian oracle]

to make it look more visible as a joke

[barren kindle]

"intel 23"

[mint yacht]

Core Ultra 9 285k

That's the current top of the line offering from intel

[tired glade]

Yep,full whipe on naming happened

[obsidian oracle]

core ultra max+ pro

[mint yacht]

Core Ultra 7 265k is the more normal option
Core Ultra 5 245k exists soon maybe

[barren kindle]

shii man i needa catch up to 2024 tech news

[tired glade]

Had 288v already arrived?

[mint yacht]

However, instead of the full name, simply:
u9 285k
u7 265k
u5 245k

[obsidian oracle]

u

[mint yacht]

Has done for a while

[barren kindle]

what does the u stand for

#public-chat message

[obsidian oracle]

besides that, ultra

[tired glade]

Just check any reviews, they stand up

[barren kindle]

oh ok

[tired glade]

Oh,my,that badly

[primal cairn]

Let's hope Intel can get their shit together and release a card worthy to fight Nvidia

[mint yacht]

They wont

The B580 is targeting the 4060 (ti) according to what few rumors we have

[tired glade]

Hopes AMD will release full cached version of 9950x3d someday

[mint yacht]

But also its $250 and has 12GB of VRAM

[mint yacht]

They wont and I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but it doesn't make sense to do that

[tired glade]

Also,12gb is standard or special force edition?

[mint yacht]

Standard

[tired glade]

There won't be pressure from Intel to even consider it

They will send those ccds to threadrippers or epyc

[full fossil]

https://www.forbes.com/sites/larsdaniel/2024/11/25/andrew-tates-online-university-hacked-800000-users-exposed/

[mint yacht]

Having large amounts of cache on either die won't improve performance in games either

Unless the games somehow use more than 16 threads, where it'll bounce between the CCDs and kinda suck

[tired glade]

It is way worse than article says

[full fossil]

I know i hear the real world site got hacked too

[tired glade]

Also,it was a hack, technically

[full fossil]

nmap -v -sV -sC -T5 --debug target

[tired glade]

Yep,when you stealing someone software, don't forget to update it

[primal cairn]

I low key hoping for the chinese to gain the ability to manufacture their own 2nm

[tired glade]

I really don't want to see 6gen jet fighter in Chinese hands first

[full fossil]

i bet tate was using wordpress rofl

[tired glade]

Especially when concept already tested

[primal cairn]

Less reason to use them if they have the tech

I believe it will lessen the tension

[tired glade]

Yep,that's not how authoritarianism works

[primal cairn]

Well who am I to think. I'm not a political expert at Harvard

[pliant leaf]

no thanks

[tired glade]

Anyway, Chinese already around 5nm or even lower,so it will happen

[primal cairn]

Chinese gpu that competes with Nvidia?

[pliant leaf]

that is not how you manage threats by unreasonable people

[full fossil]

You extensively log it!

[tired glade]

Maybe some mid low tier ai accelerators

[primal cairn]

You already think they're unreasonable

[pliant leaf]

they are, thinking they are reasonable is naive

[tired glade]

China still works on importaed Nvidia ai accelerators

[full fossil]

rofl

[primal cairn]

I think it's even more naive to think that they're unreasonable

[tired glade]

Oh, it's zzz not fire

[primal cairn]

800,000?! Damn that's successful

[tired glade]

Kinda their public speeches pain different painting

[full fossil]

that's a pretty big user db

[tired glade]

Anyway,new China only phone performance pretty well

[primal cairn]

The tri-fold?

I've heard really good things about their cameras

[tired glade]

Mate 70 only china one, right?

[full fossil]

.cn would be a neat domain

[tired glade]

Pure 70 it is

Oh, China already tapping in 3nm

[primal cairn]

Oooh I just searched it, damn it's cheaper than the forbidden fruit

Waaaay cheaper

[tired glade]

Not that much for delivery

[pliant leaf]

it's an awful design

[obsidian oracle]

lol

[tired glade]

16gb of ram for phones already a normal thing

Kirin 9020 based on 2+4+6 1248520 antutu

New socs pretty good

[primal cairn]

If they have similar growth in the GPU side of things, that'd be great for us, Nvidia may have to lower their prices

That's why we need competition

[tired glade]

No one can contest Nvidia in ai at the moment

Also, Chinese GPUs not going to global markets

[indigo plume]

16 GB is normal for phones ???

[primal cairn]

That's speculation

Nobody knows for sure

[tired glade]

Just went by new release, most of them 16gb

[indigo plume]

Feel like it's just flag ship phones

[tired glade]

CCP policies mainly

[indigo plume]

That have 16 GB of RAM

[tired glade]

Most of them are

[pliant leaf]

mfs would rather get chinese gpus than buy amd

crazy

[indigo plume]

Why do you need 16gb of RAM for a phone

[tired glade]

Every flagship now has like 3-4 version

[pliant leaf]

genshit

and gooner zone zero

[tired glade]

Because it is cheaper than 8gb modules

[indigo plume]

?

[pliant leaf]

[indigo plume]

Wtf are you saying

[tired glade]

Economy of scale is very weird

[pliant leaf]

chinese mobile breath of the wild clone where you pay money for the chance to play as your favourite barefoot barely of age anime girl

[tired glade]

Also,hoyo games pretty light on resources

[indigo plume]

Everything Tech is too expensive these days

[primal cairn]

They said no high end shit

[pliant leaf]

like you can afford high end

[primal cairn]

Ok

[tired glade]

I mean, PC tech always was expensive hobby

[indigo plume]

Bring back the 1080 era

[primal cairn]

You're just jorking off now@pliant leaf

[indigo plume]

Back in the 1080 era it wasn't expensive

[tired glade]

Nvidia will never do 1080 ti mistake again

[indigo plume]

Nivida has no competition

So everyone loses

[tired glade]

Do you have a plan to fix it?

[indigo plume]

Since amd doesn't compete at high end no more

[tired glade]

We kinda know that since 2007-8

[indigo plume]

We are fled

Fked

3000 dollar consumer GPUs

Gunna be in near future

[tired glade]

People will buy it no matter the price

[indigo plume]

Nivida only cares about ai

And just fks the consumers

[tired glade]

Samsung getting punched not to care about AI

[indigo plume]

Wdym

[tired glade]

Poor memories production for ai accelerators and low ai International around their product attributed for Samsung pure stock performance

At least, what most news say

Rip

[obsidian oracle]

it uses 3gb ram lol

you dont load all of the open world at once

bottlenecked by what?

you cant just say bottleneck and not mention the part

[pliant leaf]

you do not get packet loss from a bad cpu lmao

[obsidian oracle]

you do get from a bad hdd tho

but its more of a texture loading making you lag

is it at 100% use or what makes u think its limiting ur pc

close discord n spotify

enjoy ur cpu not being 100%

[agile lake]

Well that sucked. Got 15 inches of snow again last night

[obsidian oracle]

more reasons to not touch grass

[obsidian oracle]

use it from a phone

[tired glade]

Turn off torrent, that can eat resources

[agile lake]

The trampoline is fucked lol. We had grass 3 days ago

Rip, good 4 years out of her

[obsidian oracle]

yea cod is poopy

it doesnt open for me even

lol

i had friends say same for csgo "runs better when settings are high"

i guess its about utilization of the hardware

[latent storm]

Cod crashes all the time for me 😭

I swear it's my RX 7900XTX because there's a few games that just constantly crash. GTFO, Calipso Protocol, Superliminal, B06. BF2042 if I'm streaming it to discord w/ Hardware acceleration on.

[full fossil]

You need to buy a better CPU

I think you should buy 2x Xeon 2698’s

[rugged marten]

Hello gamers

[fierce moth]

idk, i think this is a pretty good cpu

[rugged marten]

Overkill

[fierce moth]

not really if you have genuine work for it

[rugged marten]

Fair enough

[tired glade]

Oh, cores turning off even

[fierce moth]

theres two ccds, so it would make sense if one got put on idle if it wern't in use

[tired glade]

I mean, windows can be windows and randomly turn them on

[fierce moth]

im gonna spin up gentoo in a VM to give it a test run lmao

30 threads to the vm, so im not killing my host

[tired glade]

Oh, it's a hosting machine

[fierce moth]

no, this is my main desktop

but i wanna test it out

and this is why we have lots of ram people, for vms

[tired glade]

64 isn't that many nowadays

Especially with just 2 dimm slots

[fierce moth]

yeah, i left two dimm slots free for future expansion

48gb dimms seems interesting tbqh

but im waiting for 64gb dimms lmao

[obsidian oracle]

is ur gpu overclocked?

[full fossil]

no way bro that spotify is using 21.5% of amd 5 5600 🙏

I have 5 3600 and it's using about 15% of cpu

[fierce moth]

i wouldnt know, even though my previous system was a 5600

i always used self hosted stuff

[vapid zephyr]

That's moreso because how shit the Spotify app is lol

[full fossil]

maybe it's spicetify thing, I'm not using it so maybe cuz of it Spotify itself looks good but yeah, there should be more themes. I know spotify is a lil expensive and I'm using the 3 months version for 4.99$ (I don't know 100% cuz I'm not from America) and yeah, free version of spotify is really bad. Spotify "nerfed" the free version recently and for pc it's good that you can add a script that skips ads etc. but for mobile you can't (the only option is probably modded apk but it's not safe)

If you have 6 friends that want to use it, then the best option is family. Y'all pay about 2$ and it's not that expensive then

That's not what I meant 😭

it's like if your friends want to use it damn

[vapid zephyr]

The Nintendo Switch is the most powerful console given its proportions and the successor to the Nintendo Switch is gonna revolutionize the handheld market, just as the current one did.

[full fossil]

Nintendo is a lil overpriced but the games are great in my opinion (yes, I love mario bros 💫)

[vapid zephyr]

.. Overpriced?

The Switch has almost always been the cheapest console on the market

Even their online subscription service is by far the cheapest in the industry

That's not on Nintendo though lmfao

[full fossil]

yeah, 200$ is too much for a console like that. I'd rather to add some money and buy steam deck or one of those rog devices

[vapid zephyr]

Also, they do depreciate, physical copies especially

[full fossil]

yeah, this is the bad thing but you can always try to find emulator for that

[vapid zephyr]

No it isn't lmfao
$200 for the Switch Lite is a fair price, especially given the Nintendo DS used to be the same price 20 years ago (which is now far more expensive)

[full fossil]

I don't want the conversation look like yes/no so I'll say it once. In my opinion

[vapid zephyr]

Yes, that doesn't mean they determine the depreciation rate lmfao

Go used market for physical copies, you can easily find cheap copies

[full fossil]

yeah so that's why I said "try to"

[vapid zephyr]

They aren't, ironically

They sued one because they had extremely aggressive and greedy monetisation practices and flat out told people how to pirate, that's on them

Ryujinx you have to blame the dev for, Nintendo knew they couldn't sue them so they just bought him off

"He says things I don't agree with so he must shill"

How about you stop being unreasonable, blind hating is cringe af

So what, that's their Trademark kek

Yeah you are, otherwise you would try to see reasoning

You didn't even bother mentioning they didn't even shut down Ryujinx

Because that'd spark less hate kek

[full fossil]

dis crazy man 😭

[vapid zephyr]

Yet you can provide no valid point against me and resort to attacking me personally

Name me one tech or gaming company on the same size as Nintendo that's "pro consumer"

There isn't a single one

Because nobody gives a fuck about your feelings in business

All they're doing is, albeit extremely aggressively, defend their trademark

They have to do that in Japan, where the trademark law is equally aggressively enforced or they result in losing it

What, because I state objective facts you can't accept? Lmao

<@&750150305383186585> Admits to have a third-party client

[tired glade]

Oh, people

[vapid zephyr]

The fact morons keep admitting to their client is hilarious

[tired glade]

This is pathetic

[full fossil]

funny thing, this conversation started from spotify premium price xD

[vapid zephyr]

Not my problem if he can't accept objectivity kek

[latent storm]

[tender glade]

do you use a third party client too?

[lilac bear]

LTT is a partner of Discord

[lilac bear]

it's literally in interest to up hold the TOS

[vapid zephyr]

Verified, but still applies ye

[vapid zephyr]

The reason I report it is to help mods mate
If they don't ban those people they risk server termination since they're in the Discord verified program

[tender glade]

Just for refernece, when you get a third party client, they have access to all of your information. Like API keys, account info.. etc. Whats stopping a third party client from accessing your account and spamming phishing sites?

all because of some stupid fucking thing like seeing deleted messages, or hidden channels

[obsidian oracle]

yipe

[tender glade]

or just making your client look different

[obsidian oracle]

nice pfp btw

comparing tax evasion to using a third party client

[idle nymph]

yeah but some people are dumb and you need to tell them sometimes the truth??

[full fossil]

cool man, gz

[full fossil]

you got pc or only laptop?

[vapid zephyr]

The last time I tried to tell someone the objective truth they blocked me, made themselves an idiot by showing off their third party client and got yeeted out of this Discord, all of this was literally 20 minutes ago

So yeah, sometimes the truth is not the best option

[idle nymph]

sometime ignoring is the best move

[vapid zephyr]

Whenever you become a guardian you will also realize kek

well, this situation was kinda funny that bro literally sent his modded discord on public chat on discord partner server (💀) but some people aren't THAT dumb that you can normally tell them things

I still remember the face when I told my little sister santa isn't real, tried my best to keep the secret as long as possible but kids in middle school wouldn't shut the fuck up

[full fossil]

wait, santa's not real?

[idle nymph]

my parents had to tell me that at fucking 6 and then i had to keep it silent so everyone at school could enjoy it

[dusky jacinth]

Damn.

[latent storm]

I mean it's my work laptop, using it for school work rn since I'm in vacation.

While I'm actually working, mostly just Bomgar (BeyondTrust), ServiceNow, Salesforce, Putty, Office Suite Applications, WebEx, AnyConnect, and Inform (Remote Management of fuel systems)

[dusky jacinth]

For me, I just knew kids who knew the difference, one of my younger cousins who kept it a secret she knew he didn't, one kid who was too stubborn to believe Santa didn't, and then being the son of a mother who as a child were told "Santa was dead"... Which as a Christian, technically isn't wrong but like... Wow, brutal.

[idle nymph]

what the fuck ? "santa is dead" ??????

thats like saying "yeah we ate the easter bunny my bad"

[latent storm]

when I was a kid and my dad fell off the roof, my older brother told me it was Santa and made me stay in my room. Didn't figure out what actually happened until I was in middle school.

[dusky jacinth]

Well in the defense of her family, that far back they were destitute and the home situation was not so stable.

[fossil frost]

discord can just switch off the server if the mods dont enforce discords rules... thats why it matters

[vapid zephyr]

My father deadass told me this btw

[idle nymph]

thats actually hella fucking funny

[dusky jacinth]

So they were told that to not get there hopes up because there was no way for her family to afford... Well, anything at that time.

[vapid zephyr]

We were eating rabbit stew and he just goes 'That's the easter bunny btw'

[idle nymph]

still ??? just tell her santa aint real not that he fucking died

also can you just stick ssds wherever you want because so far ive only seen 2 ssd slots and ssds that go in the hdd bays

[jaunty compass]

Fiber optic gaming we are so back

[royal hamlet]

Um that depends on the SSD. If its sata, then it should be mounted, if its a m.2 pcie then you don't need to mount them further than hooking them up to your pc

Apparently the in person store your not allowed to browse and everything is online for sales and you can ask them for the stuff

I just left at that point

[dawn anchor]

i have a m.2 thats not screwed in its just hanging by the heatsink

i have another sata that has no place to go

[royal hamlet]

Tbf, you don't realllllly need to mount a SATA SSD, it'll work. Just make sure it doesn't get jostled around enough to disconnect lol

[dawn anchor]

also what atx cases have a lot of hdd bays (at least more than 2 they all have 2 or less)

[royal hamlet]

Just check PC parts picker, put your ideal build in and then look at cases. It'll do compatibility checks for you on the case.

[dawn anchor]

i just grew up with 100% and am actually slow when not using numpad for numbers

[plain gale]

games, editing, streaming, anything work related?

[pure knoll]

Damn, ig

Idk vim has enough macros for me

[plain gale]

those are shortcuts not macros

[pure knoll]

Same thing really

[plain gale]

no?

[pure knoll]

When you press your keyboard it's a macro to move you 1 space forward

Technically talking

[plain gale]

one is using multible keys in combination, one is using one key for multible keys or actions

[pure knoll]

i mean, it seems good

auto calibration and levelling
256 cubed build volume

[obsidian oracle]

sounds good ig, i dont understand much

[tired glade]

Metal or plastic?

[jaunty compass]

damn the QIDI Q1 Pro looks really good

it's a bit more expensive and has a slightly smaller build volume but it looks like it would still be fine

but i don't want to sacrifice build volume

[obsidian oracle]

duh, ofc plastic printer

hes not that rich to get x1, let alone an industrial metal 3d printer that has damn lasers

[glass mural]

Beautiful 28 FPS on low

[obsidian oracle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/898378646119649351.webp?size=48&name=SenkoPeek

i think u mixed the channels

[royal hamlet]

Yes just get that one

Especially if it's your first 3d printer

[jaunty compass]

I ended up finding this one and i'm about to buy it because the reviews are good and it seems super solid
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CSDB9QTF

[jaunty compass]

it's not but my current printer is old, the bed is warped, and i haven't used it in ages and just want to pick up a new one

[royal hamlet]

Are you ready to fiddle with it a bunch when it breaks

If yes then go ahead with it, if no then bamabu labs printers are they way to go. They're pretty reliable.

[jaunty compass]

I'm far from allergic to jank

this is $20 more than the bambu with some pretty high end features

the bambu doesn't have free shipping so it comes out to being only $20 cheaper than the qidi

the qidi has a camera built in for remote monitoring and a heated print chamber

[royal hamlet]

Then do it, seems like a good package

[jaunty compass]

yeah

for $350 it's pretty nuts

[royal hamlet]

Yeah, even if it needs a bunch of mods and stuff you are still getting bang for your buck

[jaunty compass]

full auto calibration that's apparently pretty good, decent sized print volume, heated chamber, remote monitoring, apparently it's good for more exotic filaments too

i'm not surprised considering the heated chamber

even if i only use it for pla printing the autolevelling will be super nice and the build volume is larger than my current printer

[royal hamlet]

If you ever need to print anything big, you can print it in sections and use some 3d gloop

Is buying a gaming PC from best buy a bad idea?

[chrome olive]

Can anyone recommend a budget Android phone ($400AUD or less) to upgrade to from an iPhone SE 2020?

The person I'm looking at this for needs a better battery, bigger screen, and so on

but all the ones I've found have lower Geekbenches than the SE 2020 somehow?

Does that even matter/translate to real use?

[glacial viper]

[chrome olive]

I can get a Moto Edge 50 Neo for $350AUD on sale right now, is that good?

[royal hamlet]

Look at something flagship from 2 years ago. S22 and pixel 7 might fit the bill.

[chrome olive]

Hmm, I'll take a look if any stores are still selling them in my area

The person I'm buying for doesn't trust used and honestly neither do I

[royal hamlet]

I'm a bit more biased towards the google pixel because they have a long software support timeline

[royal hamlet]

Don't get used but look at giving renewed or refurbished a chance

[silver sun]

329

[chrome olive]

Stores in my country don't sell the P7 anymore from what I gather

Though I found an S22 for $500 new

[royal hamlet]

That's pretty good 👌

[royal hamlet]

Hmmm you might be able to get a good deal on the pixel 8 or 8a, plus the 8a was released this year

The 8 and 8a are extremely similar in terms of spec.

[gilded quest]

Refurb S22 S23 Pixel 8/8a

[chrome olive]

Yeah I saw an 8a for about $600 new, how about that?

[civic fox]

the 6a is under 300 used for me

[royal hamlet]

It'll get full fledged updates for the 7 years 👌

[gilded quest]

What the fuck kinda 3rd world country has an 8a new for $600...USD?

[royal hamlet]

AUD

[gilded quest]

Oh then 600 is probably fine

[chrome olive]

Oh sweet, I'll take a look at that

[gilded quest]

Oh I see

AUD, yeah, that's not terrible

[royal hamlet]

Yeah, 600 AUD is 390 USD

[gilded quest]

8a is a fine phone

I'm on 9 Pro XL now

[royal hamlet]

The pixels last forever

[civic fox]

how many years of support does the 6a get

[gilded quest]

I wanna say Google only promised 3-4 years back then

[royal hamlet]

https://endoflife.date/pixel

[civic fox]

is it still worth it nowadays

android is done in 7 months and security is 2 years

[royal hamlet]

Security updates stop in less than 3 years for the 6a so I would say not really

[gilded quest]

For how much

[civic fox]

160

[gilded quest]

For 160 you can buy another phone in 2 years when this one loses security updates

[royal hamlet]

Honestly, yeah 🤷‍♂️

[fossil frost]

160 is nothing for the pixel6 too.. and, because it DOESNT have the AI cores in it, you dont get pestered anywhere near as much about installing AI garbage on it from google

[civic fox]

so go ahead and buy this one then my current phone is a tmobile phone and it sucks

[prime solstice]

I kinda hate how my iPhone 16 pro turns Siri on everytime I plug in my headphones

[gilded quest]

TF you mean it does have ML cores, it just is older and not as performant as newer devices. Also I wanna say the 6a was 6gb ram which is under the threshold for Gemini nano, anyways

[fossil frost]

the 6/7/8 dont have half as much AI garbage on as the 9 does, because the 9 came with NEW AI cores, that forces loads of extra AI bullshit down your throat... and for me, the 6/7 dont feel much different in daily use to the 9

[royal hamlet]

You can just turn off the AI in settings?

[harsh quartz]

Turn off Siri :p

[royal hamlet]

Oh I'm on the 8, that explains a lot

[civic fox]

so buy the 6a then

[gilded quest]

Okay grandpa

[fossil frost]

noope, google force you to have the models locally, but also be online for remote AI too, and they force most of it to be turned on

[gilded quest]

I've noticed no difference between 8 pro and 9 pro xl in terms of Gemini being shoved in my face

[heady quest]

Alr boys

I’ve now got my PC

I just need to know how to remove a dang Side Panel with the screws being hidden

[graceful burrow]

Depends on the case, read the case's manual to get explicit instructions

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/blue-flame-plankton-spongebob-squarepants-welding-tool-ready-to-work-gif-18796200

[heady quest]

Yeah but lookie here

[harsh quartz]

It’s probably a magnet or a slide thing

[fossil frost]

https://tenor.com/view/crowbar-gif-12144360893082019520

[graceful burrow]

Lookie in the manual

[graceful burrow]

That's not the manual lol

[graceful burrow]

Those are insanely generalized instructions so they don't have to design and print different sheets for different cases

[heady quest]

It’s the same exact instructions as in the Manual

[graceful burrow]

Is it

[heady quest]

Yep

[harsh quartz]

It very clearly says slide the panel to the back

[graceful burrow]

[heady quest]

Remove the Back Panel?

Lemme check that

I got so used to people with PC’s that I instinctively think that the Front Panels are the one’s to be removed for Inspection

[graceful burrow]

Bet the manual is clearer
Wouldn't know tho, haven't seen it, don't have the name of the case

Haven't really given the people you've asked for help from very much information to go off here

[heady quest]

It looks really nice tho

[royal hamlet]

Sorry took me forever to find the setting

[graceful burrow]

How is that relevant

[heady quest]

The Wiring Management is super nice

[graceful burrow]

What's that got to do with the side panel coming off

[fossil frost]

gemini is only part of what is forced down your throat 🙂

[graceful burrow]

I guess the side panel coming off isnt that big an issue

Enjoy your new pc

[heady quest]

Tyvm

I’m just checking everything out before i even turn it on

To see if there’s any disconnected wires

[royal hamlet]

Damn, at least grapheneOS is officially supported on the pixels ig

[fossil frost]

i need contactless payments to work, and to work reliably every time, without messing. and i need banking apps to work, without any sort of messing about at all.... reliably.. so i cant use graphene

[heady quest]

It says that i have to unscrew the one on the front

[graceful burrow]

Lol

[heady quest]

Idk what he was saying

That’s what the Instructions says

[graceful burrow]

Be straight with me here
Did you look at the actual owners manual for the case specifically

It's a yes or no question

Not the quick start guide

[viscid elm]

you know the answer

[graceful burrow]

I know I just wanna hear em say it

[heady quest]

Ok nvm i am stupid

[graceful burrow]

I know

[viscid elm]

xd

[heady quest]

I says in the Instructions that i have to

U N S C R E W

But it’s just a Panel that snaps into place with Ball Joints

I was just a wittle bum puss puss to touch the Tempered Glass

[graceful burrow]

Guaranteed the manual mentions that

[fossil frost]

tbh, if you dont know how to find and unscrew a screw... you shouldnt be touching anything inside of a computer

[royal hamlet]

Ah damn, just looked at that.. yeah Google wallet doesn't work for NFC on it :/

[heady quest]

Nope

[heady quest]

Should i sell it then?

[graceful burrow]

What case is it?

Huge doubt goin on here

I got time to waste

Waiting for nanner bread to cool down

[spiral zodiac]

anyone know if the LTT backpack will hold an 18" laptop?

[royal hamlet]

I have always been so opposed to using phone payments. However, I recently got a new card, but it's been stuck in the mail because of the strikes, so I have had to use it on Google wallet. It's been fine, I still find it weird to use but it's okay.

[graceful burrow]

Brother what's the model number that doesn't help me literally at all lol

[gilded quest]

I don't know but I absolutely doubt it

I fucking saw that lmao

[heady quest]

Brother lemme try to help you man dayum

[viscid elm]

Largest pocket (front without device sleeves):
D- 5” (12.7 cm)

Back pocket (with device sleeves):

It’s my first

[civic fox]

so did i

[viscid elm]

how nice, who done it?

[civic fox]

there banned

[viscid elm]

i buy problems

[gilded quest]

18" laptops are so rare these days and would make the backpack a more awkward size, I very much doubt it would fit

[heady quest]

Here ya go @graceful burrow

[runic lance]

Lol

[royal hamlet]

Max laptop size for largest sleeve: 11.25 x 15.5 x 1.25"
Look at the dimensions of your laptop. It might.

[viscid elm]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/13xkxvh/how_exact_is_the_ltt_backpack_laptop_dimensions/

[graceful burrow]

That also doesn't help since that is a series of prebuilt computers, not a case model
I'll find it on my own

[viscid elm]

looks like you might be able to contact LMG store and see if they can test fit a 18 inch laptop

[spiral zodiac]

yeah its a hair too big lol

12.3" x 15.9" x 1.15"

[heady quest]

Ight’ man i tried my best to help you

[spiral zodiac]

like, an inch in one dimension only

just barely too big lol

[runic lance]

You realize he's trying to help you, right?

[royal hamlet]

Yeah I don't think that'd work 😔

i replaced the gpu with a 1080ti

[graceful burrow]

Most prebuilts I'd consider a scam anyway

[heady quest]

Only issue that I’m encountering rn is the GPU Ports are a little too high for a DP to be slotted in

[heady quest]

Because of Employee, Warehouse Space, Tax, etc

[graceful burrow]

Probably because some consider it spam

[hidden hill]

Ouuuuu I actually have an 18" on hand let me find out for you!

[hidden hill]

Yes'nt

Depends how chunky those bezels are, this Asus ROG with a 1070 just barely doesn't fit

12" Chromebook for scale

[civic fox]

that is huge

[hidden hill]

Any 17.3" would fit tho 100%, I took 3 laptops and a portable monitor to LTX with that bag, it's an infinite holding bag for sure

[glossy mountain]

I just copped the rando screwdriver. Ive been dying to get one forever.
Any of you guys own one?

[spiral zodiac]

@hidden hill lol ok so i'm glad to find out. i just picked up an acer predator helios 18

screen is big and bright, 1000nits and 100% dci-p3 coverage.

4070 and a 13700hx are bonuses. mostly for 3d scanning

i'll be throwing a 4tb drive in the second nvme slot, and probably 64gb of ram into it, for good measure

i'll figure out how to undervolt it as much as possible, extend that battery life more lol

[spiral zodiac]

oh fml, the laptop i ordered..they changed the fucking listing on newegg

its the 165hz panel and not the 240hz mini-led panel with high color accuracy

i wonder if i can change it out myself...

[graceful burrow]

Good luck lol

[jaunty compass]

the printer i went with looks pretty sweet

[spiral zodiac]

well i've replaced the lcd panel on may laptops before

its not incredibly hard in most cases.

and from the looks of it, they dont change the panel thing. it might just be do-able

[shell swift]

Replacing the 2in ones suck tbh

[patent violet]

I found a new fun actual use for OpenAI... as it turns out its actually really good at selecting electrical components for you based on paramaters you define

A glorified advanced^2 search engine

[spiral zodiac]

what are you trying to do lol

well, if this screen is the 100% dci-p3, then i'll just roll with it even though its not mini-led

[grim belfry]

Has it told you to get something that doesn't exist yet?

[strong gale]

why not bambu p1s

[obsidian oracle]

oh sick

i rarely see closed box like ones

[patent violet]

It has told me that things dont exist in some specifications despite the fact they do because it makes assumptions based on medium-high level knowledge on how difficult it would be or the pitfalls involved in making that specific component.

It has not made up parts yet

[jaunty compass]

the p1S is $200 more for what amounts for mostly the same features

[strong gale]

fair

[jaunty compass]

actually

[patent violet]

This is really annoying because itll assert it as the truth until you actually walk it through the entire datasheet of the component in question

[jaunty compass]

the p1s doesn't even have a heated chamber does it?

[strong gale]

it does (i think)

[patent violet]

and then itll forget about it

[strong gale]

oh it doesnt

[jaunty compass]

well, the qidi q1 pro has a heated chamber

[patent violet]

It actually shows us how many "levels" of targeted knowledge it can actually sift through before it stops

Which is somewhere around 12

[strong gale]

oh damn that printer is actually a good value

[jaunty compass]

yeah

it's $350 on amazon

the build volume is slightly smaller on the qidi q1 pro than the P1S

[obsidian oracle]

what does it do, give the plastic more time to cool down?

[strong gale]

ooh and its more open source

it runs klipper instead of bambu proprietary

[jaunty compass]

it heats up the air in the chamber to a higher temp to reduce the amount of warping and cooling during the print process

[strong gale]

it also has a better camera

[obsidian oracle]

cooool

[strong gale]

its only really useful with like abs and asa tho, pla and petg usually doesnt require

[obsidian oracle]

still probably better to have it on

[spiral zodiac]

ok, it does look like they use the same exact connector between the 165hz and 250hz mini-led lol

[jaunty compass]

still, for $350 it makes it kinda a crazy value

decent build volume, a bunch of features

[strong gale]

yea that is a crazy value

[jaunty compass]

truly the one good black friday sale™️

has auto levelling and stuff of course

[strong gale]

build volume is basically the same as full size bambu printers

[spiral zodiac]

so in theory, its possible for me to buy the higher refresh mini-led panel and simply plug it in lol

but, if it'll drive it right is the next question.

[manic torrent]

AI as a first pass to be a starting point for a human is exactly where it's at right now. The problem is that it's hard to sell that, so it's sold as a complete end solution when it's very far from.

[jaunty compass]

it's replacing my old ender 3 and my monoprice delta mini

ordered some pla and i'll get some petg for it later too

[strong gale]

ig u wont be useing the heated chamber then

[jaunty compass]

not yet

I'm going to get some more materials later

but i'm prototyping something kinda big right now so i don't want to use anything special for it

[strong gale]

yea you'll need it with like literally everything other than pla and petg

[ember cedar]

whats a good gaming laptop in the price range of 700 - 1000

[strong gale]

idk, just look for discounts

like this one

great info for the buyer, thanks for helping

[obsidian oracle]

4070 mobile, right?

[strong gale]

yea 4070 mobile

vs a 4060 mobile

altho the laptop with a 4060 mobile gives it 140w vs 105w on the 4070

[obsidian oracle]

sad to see it not get mentioned in the specs as mobile

[obsidian oracle]

more efficent ig lol

like a hella overclocked 4060 is going to beat an undervolted and underclocked 4070

[chrome olive]

I just got a new GPU (switched from 1080 to 6600XT), reset the drivers with DDU and installed new ones through AMD's website, but I'm noticing worse 1% lows in my games now?

[patent violet]

Its also pretty good at validating shit and telling you where you are being stupid

Becuase when it DOES know something, it knows it

but you cant assume it knows everything so you could still be doing something stupid

[strong gale]

1080 to 6600xt isnt that much of an upgrade

[grim belfry]

It doesn't know anything

[chrome olive]

Yeah I know, I have reasons beyond gaming to have chosen that particular GPU

But anyway, overall FPS is decently better, but I'm noticing lag spikes in even single-player games?

[patent violet]

Fine...
"When it has those data points stored..."

[strong gale]

it might be shitty amd drivers

[patent violet]

yeah no I sound too much like the AI/ML team

ill stick with "know"

even if its wrong

[chrome olive]

I'm using drivers that came out in August instead of newest ones, because apparently the latest causes issues in some DX12 games

should I just update them regardless?

[strong gale]

yea try updating

[strong gale]

wait did u overclock ur 1080

if u did thats probably why since the 1080 overclocked really well

[unborn juniper]

i never overclocked my 1080Ti, it was an asskicker even at 4K

and it's about to get a new lease on life too, yeeeeee

[chrome olive]

Nah, hasn't been touched in the bios or anything

[civic fox]

been using mine for 4 months now

[quartz dew]

did linus ever do a final update on his pool?

[supple pawn]

My Jello is taking longer to set than expected

[manic torrent]

I changed from 1080 to 6600xt for power and form factor. Basically no difference.

[supple pawn]

I went from a rx580 to a 3050 to a 7900 xtx within a year.

[strong gale]

ngl unless theres like a hyper discound i think 4080 super is better than 7900xtx

[supple pawn]

Eh, I wanted amd over nvidea.

[strong gale]

ig its nice to support competition

[supple pawn]

Well that and amd just easier on Linux

[strong gale]

oh ur doing linux

then amd is just better

[civic fox]

linux is good

[pliant karma]

i feel ya wasn't justifying spending a lot on my gpu upgrade so 7900xt was my choice haha. Had a 3070 before

[supple pawn]

My work computer is windows/nvidea. Don't game on it tho.

[strong gale]

linux is good but i know windows a lot better and i dont want to go through the hassle of chaning

[civic fox]

eh linux is simple but fair point i suppose

[strong gale]

also anticheats

[civic fox]

i dont play those games because they are trash in my opinion

so i dont have to worry about those

[strong gale]

they are but most fps's have em

[supple pawn]

Linux can definitely be a pain for some things. The simple day to day web browsing and what not, it just works. But the more in the weeds you get, the more you have to tinker with things. That can get hairy if you don't know what you are doing, or aren't confident enough.

[civic fox]

the only FPS game i play is battlefield 4 and it works without a problem

[strong gale]

id probably switch to linux when i build my next pc (ill probably be dualbooting untill im fully comfortable in linux)

[supple pawn]

That's a good idea. Start with small things on Linux, get your feet wet with how it works and all that.

[civic fox]

i dont like playing a whole lot of games that are multiplayer but most of the time i juse play C77 or forza

[pliant karma]

👀 did i hear forza haha

[civic fox]

yes i play forza horizon 4 it gets delisted in december

[pliant karma]

nice same 120 hours and counting.

[supple pawn]

I got back into fallout NV for a while, then the forest.

[civic fox]

the forest is much better in VR

[supple pawn]

Only VR I have is a Rift S, and it doesn't work on Linux.

[pliant karma]

but I am mostly racing sims so I own Forza Motorsport, F1 23/24, Asseto Corsa Comp, iRacing, Dirt Rally, BeamNG. Pretty much all my time is spent on those vs any other game I have on steam.

Before that I was a nut head for Flight Sim

[civic fox]

mine doesnt either

[civic fox]

beamng is my next try

[steel marsh]

ea wrc is fun

if you want a old sim rally game then richard burns rally

[supple pawn]

My understanding is that Oculus headsets rely too much on Meta's proprietary software. I hear things about Valve working on a new VR thing, tho, so I have some hope for VR on Linux.

[pliant karma]

I might dabble into DCS at some point.

[civic fox]

yea might have to get a new headset then at some point

[supple pawn]

Probably the best route forward tbh. I suppose there is maybe, maybe a small chance some 3rd party makes a software for Oculus support for Linux, but given the nature of it, it will take a long, long time to be functional, and even then, may never be 100%. I can see Valve dedicating resources to it, however. Perhaps they will find a way to integrate VR into the next Steam Deck?

[graceful burrow]

You can already run vr on the deck

Though you have to install windows and the performance leaves a bit to be desired

[plush crag]

does anyone know what happens if i send in a mobo for a replacement to newegg and the item is out of stock, will i have to wait until its back in stock or what? i got an open box mobo

Right, hence if Valve dedicates actual resources to optimizing the VR to work on steamOS, it might benefit them to do so with a new deck with beefier hardware and a headset purpose designed for that function.

[graceful burrow]

If anything the Deckard will just be a steam deck inside an hmd

Probably a windows compatible wmr

[supple pawn]

Meta certainly won't, will have to be a 3rd party cracking it somehow.

[graceful burrow]

I haven't heard of the oculus app being bypassed yet

Would be lit

[supple pawn]

All I heard was someone was actively trying, but having very limited success.

[graceful burrow]

I wouldn't mind the oculus app if it wasn't just hell to use

[supple pawn]

As in some form of display is outputted, but nothing runs on it and it is buggy as all hell.

[graceful burrow]

Sounds about right

It'd be sick if valve somehow found a way around it

There are legal ways they can do that

Just a lot of effort

[supple pawn]

Substitute 'oculus app' with any app from a giant tech company, and you've described all apps lol

[graceful burrow]

I know :(

[subtle reef]

Hello I am the new user

Can anyone guide me that what's going on here

[supple pawn]

I doubt they would. Why bother creating support for someone else's headset when they can sell their own?

[pallid falcon]

Discord is a chat platform where people across the world can talk and communicate

[civic fox]

yes

[supple pawn]

Random, benign chat atm

[subtle reef]

Ohhkkk

[supple pawn]

Right now we are speaking of VR support on Linux, how Meta and Valve play in the field.

[civic fox]

🤓 ☝🏻 i UsE ArCh BtW (i had to say it)

[smoky badge]

Ew

[civic fox]

haha

[supple pawn]

coughs Mint is superior coughs

[civic fox]

haha no had more issues with it than i would like to

[graceful burrow]

Same reason theyre adding specific hardware support for other gaming handhelds like the ally in steamos

[supple pawn]

Lol I'm just trying to ruffle feathers, forgive me

[subtle reef]

You all are students or a employee in an company

[civic fox]

ah no worries lol

[supple pawn]

They want people to run steamOS on the Ally?

[civic fox]

im some random dude on the internet going to school

[supple pawn]

Nah, none of us no each other at all, as far as I'm aware.

[civic fox]

nope we have no clue who these random people are

[supple pawn]

I am long graduated from uni working as an engineer.

[ancient mantle]

watching live--great stuff

[graceful burrow]

Yes
Valve wants to be the go-to for gaming, regardless of platform or device, it's genuinely the smartest move by far
Support the competitors devices better than the competitor and you win, it's that simple

[subtle reef]

Great!!,

[civic fox]

valve is really appreciated by me for moving linux gaming as far as it is now

[supple pawn]

Wouldn't mind working for LMG if they were in the same country lol, but that'll never happen.

[graceful burrow]

I play so many different games on the steam deck

[civic fox]

everything runs really good on linux even modding is possible

[graceful burrow]

It's so good

[civic fox]

i thouroughly enjoy it

[supple pawn]

I appreciate Valve for pretty well all that they are tbh. They are single handedly reigning in some if the anti consumer crap some game studios are doing, it seems.

[civic fox]

i have 200 dollars time to buy the google pixel 6a

get rid of this shitty tmobile crap

[ancient mantle]

social media is for adults anyway

just look at the product they are providing

i would say that society has adult participation and different activities and channels for children

[supple pawn]

What is the crap you dislike?

[civic fox]

all of it

its too big the software sucks

[ancient mantle]

a discord/gaming username provides the channels for kids to use discord and gaming services rather than a profile/picture with state demographics.

that would be on LinkedIN or other platforms

[civic fox]

the fingerprint does not work the face scanner does not work either

[ancient mantle]

Automation doesn't change the content. I think it is the content/product you are accessing and what information is in your profile.

[supple pawn]

What phone is it?

[civic fox]

revvl 6x pro

[supple pawn]

Oh. I haven't heard of that one before.

[civic fox]

piece of trash

i'm quite happy with this build

[ancient mantle]

nice good build.

[hollow mango]

LMG seems like a decent company to work for

[hot apex]

huh. never heard of that os before.

[civic fox]

its based on arch

a linux distro

works wonders on my machine

[hot apex]

ik arch

oh yeah what should i do with the crappy dell laptop that i'm using without being yelled at by my parents

[civic fox]

do what you want with it install literally anything

[hot apex]

it has 3.74 gbs left

[civic fox]

yeesh

does it have windows

[hot apex]

windows 10 education (it never came with sound drivers)

[civic fox]

maybe dabble in some linux

see what it does 🤷🏻

[hot apex]

without being yelled at by my parents

[civic fox]

why would they yell at you for changing the OS

[hot apex]

they check my laptop (no wait only my dad)

[hot apex]

they bought this for me

[civic fox]

well if you would get in trouble then i cant really help with that

[hot apex]

ok thanks for some help tho

it like has 55 gbs

[civic fox]

you could install some light games maybe

[glass obsidian]

fin?

[hazy parrot]

it would be impossible for any of us to know.

[manic torrent]

Also you can't wait ?

[alpine gale]

If I knew, I'd buy all stock of this drive worldwide then re-sell them for more on Cyber Monday. /s

[civic fox]

i wish i had a 1tb boot disk

im stuck with a 500gb boot disk

[hazy parrot]

a windows install at best needs 80 gigs. You can redirect anything going in your Downloads and Videos to other partitions rather easily if thats the issue

[civic fox]

i use linux

but yes i have a 256gb secondary nvme and a 2tb external

[hazy parrot]

even more so, can mount /home anywhere you want

[crystal flare]

i had a dream once where there was this massive cyber attack that targeted all the super rich billionaires where their bank accounts were half drained and the hackers just gave the money to an assload of poor people.

[civic fox]

well i never thought of that

[pure knoll]

😭😭

W cause

I'd prefer 99.99 percent and they would still have like 10mil left

[civic fox]

i could do well with 5 mil for quite some time

[pure knoll]

Same

[civic fox]

get most of the things i need out of the way and get a high paying job and get even more by myself

i dont ever require a lot of money although i would like to live comfortable

[pure knoll]

Lmfao

[dawn wedge]

im stuck with 128gb boot disk

[civic fox]

yikes i was like that at one point

[hazy parrot]

you really dont need a lot of storage on C:

[civic fox]

thats my current storage setup

[hazy parrot]

Nothing you can do now, but next time you reinstall. Mount / to 100gigs partition, and /home on your 500gig drive.

you can make a recovery partion with whats leftover on the 250.

[civic fox]

oh i have 15gigs left on that drive thats for games

my drives are on the left side

[hazy parrot]

I saw

[civic fox]

my main drive is 465

which is my /home

[dawn wedge]

i've been living with a 1tb usb hdd

its "fine"

[patent violet]

this thing couldve been the next better flipper but no they just had to use a limited RF chip

[hazy parrot]

you dont need a lot of volume if you dont work with video files or other large files. Its fine.

[patent violet]

Development requires a ton of space for SDKs at times.

Databases

[dawn wedge]

blender sometimes crashes but i might just fault my laptop at this point

[hazy parrot]

an old rooted android with an ir blaster is better than a flipper

[hazy parrot]

oh for sure. Avg end user can live a TB

[patent violet]

An old rooted android cant tx or rx raw data on SubGHz Bands

Like 433, or 315/318, or 915, or 845

[hazy parrot]

nothing a little micro usb module cant fix

[patent violet]

You are correct, I have used an RTL SDR and a jank USB with CC1101 on it with my phone But

Its a solid pain in the ass

Also I would have to switch out the USB each time I wanted to change frequencies because it was hardware triggers

Also with a flipper I can easily connect it to my PC and use something like GnuRadio

[hazy parrot]

Im just not a fan of the idea that pentest devices are exclusive to a dedicated product.

rpi community has been doing what the flipper did for years

[patent violet]

Its meant to be portable and yes you are correct, but also HAM radio people have been doing the same as what flipper was doing for years

Also, you kinda need dedicated hardware for it, so having it in a portable module is awesome

That being said, dont think the flipper is the only one out there that works like this and is portable either

[hazy parrot]

as long as its not too script kiddie friendly thats all I gotta say

[patent violet]

Evil Crow RF

[hazy parrot]

im happy for you

[patent violet]

This is actually what I was using on my phone

It also has wifi/bluetooth if you use it with its own battery

[hazy parrot]

r/w wireless adapters are so powerful

[patent violet]

I do like what Flipper brought to the table which you could consider "Skid"
The ability to easily capture signals to a file w/ "subghz" (its text based) formatting (as they call it) and then to ability to take those files and either re transmit them directly or you can even make your own crafted subghz file easily

This portable manner of signal capture and definition has made it really easy to work. Especially if I am working on my own hardware and I wanna trigger it for testing

dont need to make a whole other transmitter with its special code

just use the subghz format

Looks like this

[hazy parrot]

not bad, not bad at all. The software I was using with the android homebrew couldnt even save a read singal. It just held it in memory. You couldnt even know if you got what you wanted until you broadcast it

[patent violet]

we can really thank the rtl-sdr community for most the efforts

They provided us with decoders like this to actually help translate stuff for the flipper too

We basically just rip it from the rtl 433 project

lol thats the keyfob to the apartment gate

[hazy parrot]

@patent violet you do any sort of....contract security consulting for a living?

[patent violet]

I did

[hazy parrot]

now its just a hobby?

[patent violet]

Im not really into this stuff for the security reason.

I build actual hardware now

[hazy parrot]

companies pay money- oh...

I see.

[harsh quartz]

What about the anti-security reason?

[hazy parrot]

very cool

[patent violet]

Although for my own purposes

For work I am a Telephony Engineer now

[hazy parrot]

thats prolly beyond your pen test service wage lmfao

[patent violet]

heh

I hear the wheel/encoder on this is pretty flimsy but hopefully its workable

What

its so smol

Oh shit this is a Sipeed product

lol I remeber buying their 3rd product they made
