https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/hYxRsY/thermalright-peerless-assassin-120-se-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-pa120-se-d3 ok here is one you dont need to wait 2 months for

[amber forge]

it's why I would have prefered a 7700 or 7600 but the bundle makes the 7700x basically cheaper

[amber forge]

basically the double version of the one I have on there then?

[vapid smelt]

yeah

[lofty rampart]

oh damn

i didnt know that

thanks for telling me

[amber forge]

any chance the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 90 SE works?

or no it needs the 2nd fan yeah

needs a second fan

do you guys think the psu is a bit overkill btw, or no it's good long term?

Also ty Coopa for the cpu fan recomendations

[full fossil]

Bro didn’t RTFM (the CPU is built to max out temp)

The CPU is built to boost until temp limit, which is 95c

Just made it through Apple’s absolutely unnecessarily long process to create a custom ring tome.

All that, just to get the same ring tone I had in 1981: https://youtube.com/shorts/rz4A0ZLLLec?si=6_vH_0DX3DXH3l71

I got a new SSD for Xmas but I only have 2 slots that are already occupied lol

[viscid elm]

[south stone]

Dude, are they going to address the honey situation?

Im watching the video and im disgusted

I'd use some other word but I can't even think of one in english, the feeling of about to vomit? is there a word for that?

[viscid elm]

https://tenor.com/view/capybara-horizontal-horizontally-spinning-high-gif-12621107694138114902

[tired glade]

So, you're telling me to just run 42km for a joke?

[viscid elm]

yes

[tired glade]

Sounds like a solid plan

[viscid elm]

did ltt do the same things as honey, i only know that ltt was sponsored by honey and you know were contractually obligated to make videos with them and their download links and saying people should download it and use it.

[south stone]

Sure, but now that the truth has come to light, they should at least tell people NOT to use it.

[viscid elm]

what is dis (Active else using trickle)?

[south stone]

And possibly sue as well.

[viscid elm]

why should LTT sue?

[tired glade]

Is sue an app?

[south stone]

Every influencer with an affiliate link lost money due to honey's practices.

[viscid elm]

also i would not be surprised if you know the contract they made with honey says ltt cant sue or say bad things about honey

[tired glade]

Oh,that

[south stone]

Fair, but everyone with an affiliate link (even if they didn't ever recommended honey) should sue.

Because everyone lost money

[viscid elm]

how much is the question

[little fulcrum]

Yea

[south stone]

They gave an example with nordvpn

[viscid elm]

what is the size of whats in the pc now?

[manic plume]

Any one else having trouble with the floatplane app on Android today. Won't play videos. Works ok on website

[viscid elm]

how many blue people do you see chating rn

[little fulcrum]

A 1TB and a 2TB. I said that I could transfer all the files on the 1 to the 2 and replace the 1 with the new 2TB one

[south stone]

Basically (the guy promoting nordvpn) would get $35 if you bought nordvpn trhough an affiliate link.

And if you use honey, they'd get $0.89 in 'honey coins'.

TLDR: Honey stole $35 out of a person's affiliate link to NORDVPN.

[smoky badge]

Oof

[viscid elm]

if you have a extra pcie slot it might be possible to put in a x4 pcie slot to m.2 card

[south stone]

And not because it found a coupon, but basically it was

"hey, we are sorry, there's no discount"

The Got it button, would refer the sale to HONEY.

[smoky badge]

How is everyone doing?

[south stone]

So you're just taking the pop up out of your screen, BOOM, MONEY TO HONEY.

[little fulcrum]

I do but my GPU is blocking it

[little fulcrum]

Is there any adapter that can make 1 SSD slot into 2?

[tired glade]

Are there comments from lawyers about the Honey situation?

[viscid elm]

nope

[little fulcrum]

Thought so lol

[south stone]

So how did they get the money?

• Offering coupon, boom, sale for honey
• Giving you a pop up "hey there's no sale, sorry", that you click, boom, sale for honey
• Offering you to 'check out' with paypal, boom, sale for honey

It really screw everyone, literally everyone with an affiliate link to any website at all.

And I thought nordvpn wouldn't pay much to affiliates, but $35 is a lot of money.

I heard that it is extremely profitable to host a vpn, as per what Luke mentioned

[viscid elm]

yup

main issue is just the legal side

[obsidian oracle]

i have a mf with similar face but slightly smaller than that in my area

Fair, but this has grounds for a helluva shitstorm for paypal/honey.

Chat, will cpk 2077 run decently on my pc? Specs are Ryzen 9 5900X
GTX 1660 Super
96GB DDR5

[tired glade]

I have questions about ram

[viscid elm]

xd

i too have questions about ram but also WTF is going on, a 1660 super with a 5900X?????

[tired glade]

Ddr5

[viscid elm]

hammer

[gleaming compass]

Unbuffered or registered? Non-ECC or ECC?

[viscid elm]

thats not the issue

its am4

[gleaming compass]

uh.... oh

[little fulcrum]

So, the GPU was originally 1050ti from my previous build, the 1660 was from a E waste dump or something

[viscid elm]

why do you have a 5900X then??????

[south stone]

Oh boy...

In before people begin talking about bread again.

[viscid elm]

do people not know how a contract works

[gleaming compass]

Too late... I like bread.

[south stone]

They've known since 2022, what's up with renewing the contract? 😛

[gleaming compass]

Bread. Also, is the motherboard AM4 or AM5?

Or there is two motherboards? One for the CPU and one for the RAM?

[viscid elm]

he has a 5900X

[viscid elm]

what?

[gleaming compass]

Someplace I saw AM4 and DDR5

Then I crashed

[viscid elm]

nice

[gleaming compass]

^ how physically? what motherboard?

[little fulcrum]

It was part of a prebuilt and it was good for price, all i could get

[gleaming compass]

someone make it make sense!

[mystic tundra]

ltt also sponsors DeleteMe which who knows how well does that even work if it does any good

[little fulcrum]

One sec I’ll check

[viscid elm]

what gpu did they put with it????

nobody in their right mind would pair a 1660 super with a 5900X

[viscid elm]

he had a hammer

[gleaming compass]

I assume by hammer that you mean the vulnerability/attack, not the something physical down at OSI layer 1

like "rowhammer"

[viscid elm]

hammer as in ddr4 and ddr5 is differently keyed

[gleaming compass]

yes, I remember that

[uneven stirrup]

I’m surprised that gt710 isn’t end of life yet

[gleaming compass]

It was probably easier to leave the code in the driver to support it than figure out what from the driver could be safely retired :P

[little fulcrum]

PRIME B550M-A WIFI II

[little fulcrum]

None

[viscid elm]

the 5900X does not have a igpu

[gleaming compass]

so where does the DDR5 go?

[viscid elm]

who would make a prebuilt without any way to get a image out of the pc

[fallen rivet]

Hi! I'm a new bee here

[little fulcrum]

It has 4 slots? And the ram works. I just read the base board product

[little fulcrum]

Well it was some parts now you mentioned it

It wasn’t pre built

Just case, cpu, ram, motherboard and SSD and cooler

[viscid elm]

base board product?

nice

well pls i beg ya upgrade that gpu

wait a month or 2, or just get a 4070 super or 7800 xt or what ever

[little fulcrum]

i plan to upgrade my GPU next anyways

[little fulcrum]

its suprising on what it can do

[viscid elm]

its usable, i am running 3440:1440 on a rtx 2070 in my laptop and it runs ok but i would way rather have a 4070 super desktop or something if i would play it a lot more

[tired glade]

Am4 platform

[viscid elm]

nah am4.4

no wait am4.5

am4.3 is for ddr3, am4.4 is for ddr4 and am4.5 is for ddr5

[viscid elm]

https://tenor.com/view/13-карт-gif-14026559412000478194

[obsidian oracle]

am6.9 is the best

[little fulcrum]

Model

[mystic tundra]

am3 was am4 alpha, am4 is am4 beta and am5 is beta v2

[viscid elm]

[summer folio]

CPUs could use both AM3 and AM2+

https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/phenom-ii-x6-1100t-be.c698
Could just put it in a AM2+ socket & use DDR2 with it instead of AM3 DDR3.

[tired glade]

Soon it will release, trust me bro

[junior mason]

just had athought, how safe is ya'lls country, lol i have a laptop for the past couple month in my car in the pouch of the rear seats, it sticks out so its obviously visible from outside, im fairly comfortable with leaving it in the car all things considered (hope im not jinxing it by saying that), its a sub $100 laptop on the used market, just thought if it was america or something, someone would have smashed into it by now

[civic fox]

depends on the state and city

[gleaming compass]

What is a homeless person going to do with a sub $100 laptop and no power outlet?
They will smash you window for the roll of quarters between the seats that you use to get through the toll booth. :P

Also, is the car a Kia or Hyundai? Is there a USB-A cord with the laptop? :P

[smoky badge]

This is sick

[junior mason]

It's a golf, also charger is in the other seat pouch, a ugreen usb c charger with 3m cable, there's also another usb c cable at the front for android auto (fk vw and their update system, looks like I'll have to do that manually at some point to get wireless au ;-;)

[gleaming compass]

What have you been doing in Terraria to get the container up to 400MB?

[smoky badge]

Mods

[gleaming compass]

Are you using TShock?

[gleaming compass]

The golf and the usb-c cord doesn't fit the "kia boys trend" joke I was making. It should be fine.

[smoky badge]

Tmodloader

[gleaming compass]

Wasn't there claims of a security issue with that? Do you know whatever happened with that?

At one point someone was claiming Tmodloader blindly installed any mods from the server and did so with full administrator rights

I forget were I saw it, otherwise I would like to the claim :(

[civic fox]

everyone i know uses tmodloader

i use it myself

[gleaming compass]

Oh, I was playing vanilla with TShock

[smoky badge]

Not sure

[gleaming compass]

It must have never become a real issue then

[smoky badge]

The OS is part of the 400 MB

That container is old lol

[gleaming compass]

ubuntu?

[smoky badge]

Yeah

[gleaming compass]

Oh ok

I am used to Alpine for the container

anyone else see this?

At least you are prep'ing for moving to 24.04

I have had customers that have all the latest 18.04 patches installed and want to know how they could have been compromised

It is just like, let me count the ways... first PHP, second ubuntu 18.04....

[gleaming compass]

No, let me take a look :p

Is it related to this 13 page LTT forum thread?

[modest canopy]

yep thats the one

[gleaming compass]

Honey is so last year for shady browser extentions, you should update to Pie! A browser extention from the creators of Honey!

Now shady does ad-blocking but pays you to see the ads too!

I really wish I was joking

[summer folio]

Wtf, if someone removes you as a friend on facebook, you can't remove your reactions to their posts/images lmao

[gleaming compass]

Why are you still on Facebook?

[smoky badge]

Ew shitbook

[gleaming compass]

If you want to make sure you personal data is sold to Russia, you should be using VK!

It is just like Facebook but transparent about it's conflict of interest

It is also available in English

Someday we will figure out that social media was done right with decentralized NewsNet/UseNet

[summer folio]

I messaged them "friend wiped lmao"
& then blocked them lulw

#DignitySaved

[gleaming compass]

Cool

I have given up on Facebook and X

[opal arch]

hi

[gleaming compass]

Salutations

[summer folio]

I once discovered, all my facebook posts somehow got crossposted to Twitter

Even the ones I made "private" lul

[austere shale]

Only thing Facebook is good for is marketplace

[gleaming compass]

What browser extention was doing it?

[gleaming compass]

eBay 2.0?

[summer folio]

Cap, it shows Stockholm as "close by"
Close by items would be walking distance

[summer folio]

No clue, I just would assume it was some Facebook or Twitter setting clueless.

[austere shale]

Yea it’s definitely bad with distance stuff, showing stuff 5 hours away. I’ve learned to always sort by distance

[gleaming compass]

Zuckerburg treats X as a competitor, I don't think a cross posting feature is built directly into Facebook

You may want to research what browser extensions you have installed

[graceful burrow]

Nah ebay is definitely superior in a lot of cases

[gleaming compass]

I was joking about the "2.0" part

@graceful burrow what do you want to talk about?

[graceful burrow]

Nothing

[gleaming compass]

Is OpenStack really just IBM 390 version 2.0? :P

[pale grove]

This was like 7 years ago, had Honor 8 maybe & random vanced modded app
So maphaps it was the chinese

[gleaming compass]

Huawei did it? That is our scapegoat today?

[hot thistle]

More like a Craigslist 2.0 but I always prefer cl still

[gleaming compass]

Some of the stories about bad cl hand-offs scare me

[austere shale]

Craigslist is just dead around here, 90% of it is just ads for car dealers

[hot thistle]

True true, I think on WAN recently Linus mentioned how people are starting to expect going to homes instead of public spaces nowadays; which I totally agree is super weird

[summer folio]

car dealer once sold me a car with 1 different sized wheel(I was in a hurry)

[gleaming compass]

And then you drove off with that configuration?

[summer folio]

Yeah, the seller said "drive safe" & smirked

They had parked the car in the middle of alot of cars when I arrived

It was ice & snowing lmao

[austere shale]

Craigslist and marketplace meetups are always super weird, kinda gangster tho, just pulling up with stacks of $100s packin 9’s in case shit hits the fan

[gleaming compass]

why aren't you paying with etherium and NFTs? :P

[austere shale]

I have actually had to cashapp people before 💀 went to buy a built Subaru engine and the dude had a bunch of extras that he just didn’t tell us about, only brought 4k and he said 5k for everything and it was probably close to 9k worth of stuff

[gleaming compass]

wow

[austere shale]

Cash is king though, I try to keep at least a couple thousand cash around in case a screaming deal comes up

Or if I gotta bail somebody out of jail

[patent violet]

I use money orders for this

That way you get a reciept from whre you got the MO

and from the govt

[gleaming compass]

Or in case you have to activate your secondary identity and go on the run?

[austere shale]

Sometimes I wish that was an option

[gleaming compass]

One of the early DefCons had a talk about how to pre-establish a fake identity

but it was also a very different time when DefCon was first getting started

[austere shale]

I think that ship has passed for me, at least in the US or any allied nation. That game is kind of over once the feds have your prints

[gleaming compass]

Well, if "RealID" works as "advertised" then it should put an end to all of that

Or maybe Bruce Schieder is right that RealID will put blind faith in yet another flawed system that make the problem worse for government

[patent violet]

Real ID is a joke

[gleaming compass]

Yeah, I am trying to be ... nice :)

[patent violet]

Its not actually bound to the identification systems as it should be... its "loosely" bound

which is like "ok so what is the point?"

"uhhhhhhhh"

[austere shale]

Idek what real ID is supposed to stop. It’s not all that hard to get a fake ID that looks real

[gleaming compass]

Biggest problem is USA has tried to re-purpose social security number into actual security tokens which it was never designed for

and then RealID seems to work by verifying SSN

[patent violet]

Real ID is supposed to run the DD Audit number to validate that it is the CURRENT ID

thing is, you can use any DD Audit #

So long as it is current

If you lose and replace your ID, even if nothing changes the DD Audit # will

The SSN is the same

It just validates its "real"

[gleaming compass]

It must stop something, you are going to need it to fly on any airplane

[austere shale]

Yea but I don’t hold much faith in the TSA, i honestly don’t think they do all that much

[patent violet]

It stops blatant fakes with fake #'s on them. If you can copy from another ID, then you can bypass RID

[gleaming compass]

I though it used Denuvo DRM to make it un-copy-able? :)

It also make it impossible to use auto-aim while carrying the RealID because of the anti-cheat

Too soon for Denuvo jokes?

found it for 75.26 on Canada computers

I am debating maybe waiting for a b580 and having the rest of the build set up but 7600 and the b580 have had a constant push and pull

b990

Debating on if I should use my Christmas money to buy a quest 3, I’ve wanted an upgrade for a while but idk if I’ll actually end up using it that much

TIL your credit card saves the transactions that you make with it to the card itself

[devout pasture]

flipper zero or something , whats this i don't exactly know

?

[patent violet]

Yes

I can pull up this information with my T-Emebed or anything with the PN532 I think it's called

I was just messing around with the flipper zero and found this

[devout pasture]

I saw a video of this where a guy was copying a physical door key to this

[patent violet]

Yeah I have already done that for my office

I've also copied my garage door opener and my gate opener

[devout pasture]

pretty useful

[patent violet]

I even use it as my TV remote now

Because I can never find my TV remote

[devout pasture]

how much can it save

[patent violet]

A lot

It stores it on the SD card

[devout pasture]

i see

[austere shale]

Wish I had the flipper zero in high school, I would’ve copied the RFID tag to open all the doors to it so I could sneak in and be late to school without anybody noticing. Instead I copied one of the cards and pasted it to a microchip implanted in my hand

[patent violet]

Plus another $100 in modules

And $50 in hardware modifications

The T-Embed-CC1101 is a nice equivalent

Although the firmware options are limited in capabilities for the moment

[limpid eagle]

Guys how well do u think gaming on VR on the snapdragon x elite laptops will do?

[patent violet]

Another fun thing you can do with the flipper zero is flash your BIOS externally

I'm about to test that myself

It works

It backed up my bios and flashed it

Handy

[valid trellis]

I could never get into the flippers. No real benefit over a RaspberryPI or Dirty laptop with Kali tossed on it. I take that back. There is one benefit and that is size, but that is not that important for me.

[valid trellis]

Honestly, It is still an ARM chip. I wouldn't expect it to do much better than the native snapdragon in a quest 3. If you are trying to stream you are going to use more overhead than just playing native on the quest

The benefit of streaming from a PC for VR is the increase in graphics processing with a Discrete GPU. From what I remember this isn't something you will get on the new Snapdragon X laptops

hi all

Hello

[steel marsh]

i bought a psu on sale

as a impulse buy

[graceful burrow]

A good one or a bomb

[steel marsh]

a good one corsair RM1000e

[split swift]

Bomb

[steel marsh]

?

[split swift]

Bmob

Its da bomb

I have one in my ai server

No issues

[steel marsh]

oh

[fossil frost]

its got generally very possitive reviews

[steel marsh]

my autism kicked in and i thought you meant a literal bomb

[split swift]

I was joking about it being a bomb

[steel marsh]

my autism kicked in and i didnt realise you were joking

[split swift]

Well i did as a joke, then i added "da" to to show I was joking lol

[little fulcrum]

My 1660 Running cyberpunk on max graphics

[split swift]

Ah yes, 1 frame per minute

[steel marsh]

i got it for 119 free shipping from the uk technology store Currys

[graceful burrow]

Not bad

[steel marsh]

normally its like 153

[graceful burrow]

I paid almost as much for my 850w a few years ago

[steel marsh]

most expensive psu i ever bought was 144 pounds for be quiet dark power pro 10 650w that lasted like 8 years and when i replaced it, was still working

[trail sky]

Its probally a dumb question, but is the GTX 1080 with a r7 5800x better in gpu heavy games than rtx 4060 with i7 4790K

[fossil frost]

if you use gpu heavy games, you need the better gpu... the better cpu will help, but not by as much as the gpu would

[south stone]

Give me context, do you wanna upgrade something but you can't upgrade both? 😛

[steel marsh]

i gave away my 5800x3d and ram to a brasillian friend, i shipped it to her and all she had to do is get a new b450 mobo

[civic fox]

my 1080ti can at like 50 something fps

[trail sky]

Yes

[south stone]

that's absolutely kind of you, she could probably get a b450/550 and a single tower cooler for very cheap 😄

[south stone]

And two more questions, where are you from, and what is your budget?

[fossil frost]

run hwinfo64 while playing a game, look at which component is maxed out the most.. upgrade that

[trail sky]

Im from germany and my budget is 350€

[steel marsh]

she did, got asrock b450m steel legend new and a thermalright cpu cooler off ali express for like 200 reals

[south stone]

Because there's a third option that's: upgrade both (5600 + 3060ti/3070) which is a way better option.

Oh is the used market an option you'd be willing to consider?

[trail sky]

I dont really like used market

[trail sky]

But that doesnt fit in my budget?

I have to upgrade ram,motherboard,cpu

[south stone]

Yes, and cooling too.

[trail sky]

Or only gpu

[trail sky]

I already got an aio

[fossil frost]

as i said, run hwinfo64 while you are in a game, look at if its your CPU or GPU that spends most of its time at 100%... upgrade that one

[south stone]

I would do cpu mother and ram. But with 350 euros you could probably go 7500F + B650 + 32gb ddr5.
Or you can go used 5600 + b550 + 32gb ddr4 and have 100-150 euros to spare. And you can head to marketplace and offer your 1080 +150 euros for a 3070.

[trail sky]

Yeah in cyberpunk the cpu is at 76-80% and the gpu at 97-100%

[fossil frost]

then you already know your answer

[trail sky]

yeah thank yall

Alright i will order a rtx 4060 next month or maybe a ti and then ill get the cpu mother and ram

[steel marsh]

you could get a b580 instead of a 4060

[south stone]

There is a 5800x3d for 120 euros in marketplace.

[steel marsh]

unless you want dlss

[trail sky]

Yeah but i dont like using used hardware

[south stone]

😦 Sad to hear, so far i've upgraded with 100% success.

two 3090's, one u$s300 and the other one a 3080 + u$s50.

[trail sky]

Yeah well im going to buy gpu used

I can get a rtx 3080 for 450€

[keen imp]

Hey Uhh, Is the AMD A6 9225 w/ AMD Radeon APU Bad?

[trail sky]

Damn

[fossil frost]

compared to what?

[south stone]

If you want, and you have something nearby, do a 10 minute furmark test, and occt VRAM test for 10 cycles. If that clears out, 99.999% it's going to be just fine.

[trail sky]

But i live way up and far away i would rather buy somthing like 10km radius around me

[south stone]

I did that with the 3090's I bought. And I'm pretty sure the 3090 ventus was used for mining briefly, but it has even better temperatures than my 3090 msi gaming trio.

[keen imp]

🤷‍♂️

[graceful burrow]

Nowadays? Objectively? Quite bad

[keen imp]

nd thats what i thought

[graceful burrow]

It's just ancient

[trail sky]

Yeah the rtx 3000 are used alot for mining like gtx 1080 ti

[graceful burrow]

Nobody who's smart is mining with a gpu anymore

[trail sky]

Yeah

[keen imp]

Now I Know my Dell Inspiron 3595 Uses that APU And since i live in South africa since PC Part's Are really expensive over here.

[fossil frost]

and mining gpus are generally in much better condition than any other gpu

[south stone]

When you have 0.001c per kw, gpus tend to be profitable anyways 😛

[trail sky]

Why tho

[south stone]

Because open rigs, they keep them with new pads, and cleaner overall.

[fossil frost]

because they usually get run in high airflow, low heat situations, kept very clean... and the "silicon degredation" thing is proven to be complete bullshit

[south stone]

Where a gamer might not care if your 3090 msi trio reaches 103c while gaming (stupid 3090's trios)

[trail sky]

Oh alright

[south stone]

What about sudden changes in temperature?

Ex: Someone doing cyberpunk, full ray tracing, rages and quits and turns off the computer

And you live in a cold area (say canada)

Wouldn't that kind of affect the gpu, the sudden change in temp from, idk, 102c to 17c ambient temp?

[keen imp]

Also uhh, I Got a Dell Optiplex 745 with a Old Pentium D 925 Processor With a Nvidia Geforce GT 220 1GB DDR3 And Of course 5 Gigabytes Of DDR2 400MHz. 😔

[fossil frost]

no, thats why you have a huge chunk of metal glued to it

it removes heat quickly if your fans are running... but if no fans are running, heat moves away less quickly.. so there is no real "shock"

[south stone]

That's why I mentioned rage quitting

As in "pull the plug" from the wall kind of quickly 😛

[fossil frost]

yeah, pull the power out of the wall... and the heat will still move from the die to the heat sink, even without the fans going... and it takes a LOT to heat soak that huge chunk of metal

so it will move from the gpu into the heat sink and slowly into the ambient room... no shock, no "holding on" to heat, no nothing... they are designed to be able to handle that

[trail sky]

bro on aliexpress i found a rtx 4090 for 424€ but i wanna know if its real because some people get hardware from aliexpress

[fossil frost]

probably not real, no

[alpine gale]

That there is a surefire real scam if you enjoy losing money.

[trail sky]

yeah i see, the shop is obviously fake

[tired glade]

Seller is scam, not platform itself

[trail sky]

yeah thats what i mean

[keen imp]

I Did see Zach tech Turf's Using Ali Express to Buy CPU's and Other Stuff For his Videos

[fossil frost]

probably... aliexpress as a platform is fine, its a marketplace... its just that there are some scams on the marketplace

[graceful burrow]

Do yourself a favor and stop watching them

The misinformation they toss out is insane lol

[winged spire]

Ali express is better than Amazon

[tired glade]

Who is Zach?

[winged spire]

Amazon is dogshit now

[tired glade]

Both kinda bad

[fossil frost]

depends where you live

[keen imp]

He's Also a Tech Content Creator

[winged spire]

The shipping is literally the only benifit

[tired glade]

Another one

[viscid elm]

tech garbage creator

[winged spire]

The actual store page is low quality Temu shit almost exclusively

The enshitificaton hit hard.

[tired glade]

Ali is best place to get Chinese only items

[fossil frost]

"prime next day only" filter, usually removes much of the turd

[winged spire]

And almost destroyed the US trademark system lol

Still is

[keen imp]

Now It Depends if the Seller has a good review and Literally doing some research Of the seller.

[tired glade]

At least open seller page and check if not one item sold

[fossil frost]

tech content creator that is borderline disinformation, misinformation at best...

[winged spire]

Try “researching” sellers like bshwueiir

[keen imp]

There are some Legit Companies which are From China but, I'll stick to Jawa or Amazon

[tired glade]

Isn't Jawa going under?

[winged spire]

lol rip

Zach moment

[keen imp]

Probably which i never look at their website so much often

Mostly I May start Watching UFD Tech from now on Because he used to live in south africa until he moved back to the United States

[winged spire]

He’s planning on going back

He left for his son’s medical issues

[keen imp]

Now i know he used to get sponsors from Wootware which of course that was the first website i Saw this website

[viscid elm]

UFD is not horrible but i would not recommend him

ZTT is a major reason why we have people who think bottlenecks in computers are real

[keen imp]

I Really love he keeps wearing the Springbok merch in some of his videos

[winged spire]

Bottlenecks are definitely real lol it just depends what you do on it

[viscid elm]

nope

cpu or gpu limited is real

[balmy tiger]

Bottlenecks are real but they're irrelevant in most cases

[balmy tiger]

You can't deny them

[winged spire]

I don’t think you know what bottle neck means then lol

[balmy tiger]

Anything you believe to be holding someone or an item from performing better is a bottleneck

[keen imp]

Yeah I've hear about Bottlenecking before which im still a "Certified Bingus Dummy" On Computers

[balmy tiger]

Bottleneck can be used as a term in general

It's not exclusive to to electronics

[viscid elm]

i do just that after dealing with over 100 people thinking there pc is going to be trash because some shitty calculator said they had a 10% bottleneck or whatever is just pain

[winged spire]

Bottle necks aren’t real, but [another term for bottle necks] are

🤣

[viscid elm]

when did i say bottlenecks were not real, i said it as in computers

[winged spire]

…..

[viscid elm]

fun fact, you can be both cpu and gpu limited

[winged spire]

Yes? That’s what we are talking about

Computers

🤣 this is too much lol

[keen imp]

Also have you ever guys Saw that one video where Ryan's Toy review Building a High End PC And of course it was a sponsored ad ByAMD

[viscid elm]

what?

[keen imp]

Sigh You may gonna need to sit down for this...

[viscid elm]

ever heard of the AMD $5000 Ultimate Tech Upgrade

[keen imp]

Mmm, Probably

Now 11 Months Ryan Toy's Review Uploaded a Video of Building a Custom Gaming PC Going full AMD On that sucker, and They completely Turned off the comments so People from the Community start Doing redflags on that build

and of course they wasted money by buying a 360mm AiO Then realizing the Hyte Case won't fit so they completely got a 240mm AiO

[winged spire]

The real question is why are you watching Ryan’s toy review lmao

[keen imp]

Now it popped out of no where on my recommendations and i said "why not basically see some redflags i can point out."

[viscid elm]

you wasted your money by going with a AIO at all

[keen imp]

Yep, They should really saw its Support Radiator BEFORE buying the Radiator Cooler ffs.

[severe gazelle]

Hi! (i was forced)

[keen imp]

Yo!

How's it going?

And Of course i can't afford a Gaming PC Since It's Parts are Expensive As Hell.

For a AMD Ryzen 5600 Is About 2,499 South African Rand (ZAR)

[winged spire]

My AIO was the best cosmetic decision I’ve made

Maybe 2nd to my microcenter cable extensions

[keen imp]

Wait what Radiator Cooler are you Rocking with Right Now?

[winged spire]

One of the Corsair 240s

Don’t remember the exact one

My pc needs an upgrade but I spend all my money on drones and rockets

[keen imp]

Hmm, I Think you're Rocking with a Corsair iCUE LINK H100i 240mm or the H100x RGB Elite? If I Am Correct by that.

[warm osprey]

jw, where should I go if I wanna ask something related to video/picture equipment

[graceful burrow]

There isn't a specific place in the server for it iirc so either of the tech chats

[manic torrent]

Just skip AIO and go straight to custom loop

[winged spire]

My professional painting setup

I don’t know why I’m even bothering to paint, it’s almost certainly going to be fucked up when it comes back from 5500 feet

[keen imp]

Now that I Actually Scares me the most of going to custom loop, I Might do the wrong thing and screwing up something 😅

[winged spire]

The only thing that scares me about a custom loop is the statement on my credit card

[keen imp]

Exactly

[winged spire]

I want to try that directed air ducted system

[manic torrent]

Try building a PC crane then

[winged spire]

What

[manic torrent]

I just spent over $200 on the rotational movement system.

A PC crane. A crane for your PC. The crane designed specifically to lift my PC.

[winged spire]

🤨

[keen imp]

Whaa?

[winged spire]

I feel like a winch and like a singular pulley would be cheaper lol

[keen imp]

Lol thats forreal a Crane PC Right over thee

[winged spire]

Why

[graceful burrow]

Why not

[manic torrent]

Obviously, but it wouldn't rotate out over the desk automatically

[graceful burrow]

Shit I want a crane pc

[winged spire]

I considered putting props on my pc

But I’d have to get explicit FAA permission lol

[manic torrent]

If the only requirement was "make PC go high" then yeah you could just... Lift it.

[shut birch]

ikea from wish

[north kelp]

lol

[keen imp]

Have Yall Ever put you're Monitor ontop of the PC When it's Flat on the Table (I Used to do that ._.)

[manic torrent]

Not for many years. My monitors are all attached to arms these days

[keen imp]

I Could Relate to that.

[manic torrent]

Hey kids... Anyone want some hard drives

Haha, you aren't going to be able to use a 520 byte formatted SAS drive

[grim belfry]

NetApp?

[humble gorge]

HI everyone!

[keen imp]

Damn it.

[keen imp]

Hallo : D

[manic torrent]

Yeah. Ezpz for me to reformat, just haven't been able to get to it

[grim belfry]

I have a heap of NetApp disks I need to format

Fucking PITA

[graceful burrow]

I could figure it out

[patent violet]

damn it edge

[manic torrent]

You Absolutely could. I mean rocket surgery it ain't

[keen imp]

Micrsoft Edge moment.

[patent violet]

actually huh there is something specific about this webpage that does this

[manic torrent]

I'm going to do all 24 at once

[rustic tundra]

sounds like a user error

[manic torrent]

Thanks, white name.

[keen imp]

I Actually Put in a 80GB WD HDD in the Optiplex : D

[rustic tundra]

edge is not bad

[grim belfry]

Yeah I think I have 12 or 16 SSDs

[keen imp]

Now i got 2 HDD'S

500GB and 80GB 😄

[patent violet]

never said it was.. and thats why I use it

[manic torrent]

80gb? That's not a hard drive size, that's smaller than a microSD card.

[keen imp]

That i stole from my other Dell Optiplex that had HDD'S

[manic torrent]

You are scraping the ewaste barrel right at the bottom

[agile flint]

I like to refer to it as "recycling"

[keen imp]

Mhm, I Got this Box i removed from the 1st Dell Optiplex 745 i used for 3 Years now and i got a new one with my First time using a Dedicated GPU!

[agile flint]

If it works it works right?

[keen imp]

Yep, Working Pretty alrighty

[manic torrent]

Oh, look, it's very low risk, if it blows up, it was worthless already!

[agile flint]

I'm still rocking my RX580 8gb from 2019 when I bought it as a "placeholder" for my build until I could afford a nicer GPU

[keen imp]

I Have it now since from July to Now :3

[agile flint]

Just... Never had a reason to upgrade it lol

I was rocking a Lenovo y700 with a earlyish amd FX80something and a apu- so the rx580 seemed like such a massive jump up I've literally not needed anything else

[keen imp]

My First computer was also a Lenovo Btw :3

[agile flint]

I've got a corporate model ThinkPad with a i7 9th gen and integrated graphics as my every day work/school laptop. It's fully upgradable and module (everything outside of cpu, at least) and I've had it 6 years now, and all I've done is add ram and a faster SSD. Thing rocks, it's indestructible. Survived a -40 camping trip lol

[keen imp]

Let me try to find the name of the PC I got rq

Ah Ha! I Got it It was the Lenovo Thinkcentre Edge I think!

And the confusing part i've realized when i was young that i had a MSI Motherboard? Which i was still young when the Computer Broke.

Which i am sure i was going a bit crazy realizing that.

[patent violet]

https://www.tindie.com/products/architeuthisflux/jumperless/
I need dis

[keen imp]

What's That?

[patent violet]

its a programmable breadboard

[wispy marsh]

Oh its all hotswaps?

[keen imp]

Ohh Oki :>

[patent violet]

It uses a bunch of analog crosspoint switches wire together

[wispy marsh]

Handwired keyboard v2 lol

[patent violet]

the kind of analog switches that was used for telephony to wire 2 phones together

you can basically stuff random components onto the board then "wire them" over software

[manic torrent]

That would be absolutely amazing for demonstrations and teaching

[patent violet]

there is a probe you can use also that lets you just touch 2 points on the board and itll connect them for you

[manic torrent]

I mean it's extremely niche and I can't see it being cheap

But a classroom full of those would be amazing

[patent violet]

I can make heavy use of this personally tbh

like oh man thats so cool

[manic torrent]

Oh it's smaller than I thought

And cheaper.

[keen imp]

That looks kinda Neat though!

[patent violet]

you basically remove the need for wires

[manic torrent]

So much easier for bench testing POC stuff

[keen imp]

Also Uhm, I Ain't Hype for GTA 6

[agile flint]

Why?

[keen imp]

Welp, One thing that im waiting for is...

[manic torrent]

Because it won't run on your ancient system or fit on your tiny hard drive?

[patent violet]

I just bought one. This is gonna be fun.

[keen imp]

Half life 3, now i know that won't happen ofc 😔

BUT!

[agile flint]

Tbf, with the potential size of that world, it may stress a lot of modern hardware lol

[manic torrent]

I bought PC crane gear and hard drives, so I will hold off 🙂

[patent violet]

yeah is that nylon bevel gear gonna hold for that

[keen imp]

Not From that-

I'm only waiting for gaben to finally count the number 3 ffs

[agile flint]

If it doesn't I'd imagine the RC world would have a metal part that'd be easily retrofitted fairly easily available

[manic torrent]

If it doesn't, then I'll change it 🙂 but it's not actually lifting anything, this is just rotating the boom.

[manic torrent]

No, RC stuff is too small.

[keen imp]

If HLX or Project whitesands if on god HL3 Then....

[manic torrent]

This is CNC stuff.

[keen imp]

I May watch People playing it

[agile flint]

Even something out of a 1/6th scale xmaxx?

[agile flint]

Ah, shit gotcha. Yeah, that's a bit different. Thought it was a scale project, my bad

[manic torrent]

Yep, not even close. The boom rotates on a 20mm shaft

[agile flint]

Yeah no I gotcha now. CNC stuff is super cool.

[manic torrent]

It is a scale project, but it's a scale crane with a 50kg SWL 🙂

[agile flint]

Yeah, a little bigger than RC stuff 🤣

[agile flint]

Nice tool cart!

I've got a bunch of the Milwaukee packout stuff. Works nice for traveling in the truck.

[manic torrent]

Yeah I don't do this professionally, so no need for that 🙂

[agile flint]

Yeah, I won't for much longer when I get my degree.

Love cars and motorcycles but trades are killing my body

[manic torrent]

But the crane is on version 4 or 5.... I severely underestimated the difficulty and the cost 😄

[agile flint]

As with every hobby

[manic torrent]

Haha, when people say "bob why don't you be a mechanic! You know so much about this stuff"
... Lol, get paid not enough to ruin my body? Nothx.

[agile flint]

It's goodish money, but when I have my degree it'll be better money and I won't have to lay on my floor to ease the back pain every night :)

[keen imp]

Guy's Is it okay if i start punching the Box of milk and listening to Film by Aphex Twin?

[manic torrent]

Yeah but I mean vs the money I make now being an it infrastructure architect

[agile flint]

I do nonprofit offroad rescue now. Much more rewarding and more fun when it's not paying the bills.

[agile flint]

Absolutely. My friend went from mechanic to engineer for Bombardier. Much better job.

How do I charge my AirPods now?

[vapid smelt]

but we are good gamers

[olive stream]

Who is kobold

[dawn vault]

Fair point

[harsh quartz]

You can’t say your a good gamer when your discord thing is a critical fail

[olive stream]

Why are you VAC banned?

[pallid falcon]

Woah

You cannot change history

Oh shit I summoned a kobold

[vapid smelt]

i was too good "def didnt hack in csgo"

[pallid falcon]

Why does it matter if someone is vac banned

[olive stream]

Polar says you ate my AirPods case

[pallid falcon]

It was tasty

[patent violet]

I was VAC banned for a grand total of 1 day on Garrys Mod. One day I was banned (because we had added .dll's to help with faster networking trickery) and then one day I wasnt. No idea what happened to cause it to reverse its ban

happened to everyone else on the server I was playing on too

[viral pollen]

So im considering getting a 3d printer. Anyone have recommendations? Also and more importantly. Can i operating a 3d printer in an apartment or no it needs to be a garage?

[patent violet]

AFAIK, VAC Bans dont get reversed, so it was weird

[olive stream]

My AirPods case despawned I cannot find it

[harsh quartz]

Garry’s mod was weird with VAC bans cause all their shit was on so many different servers

[pallid falcon]

It was a good lunch

Polar didn't lie :3

[vapid smelt]

get your long rubber gloves and fish it out of @pallid falcon

[harsh quartz]

A good polar never lies >:)

[dusty dove]

@winged spiredo u plan on going all 4 days?

If the upgrade goes smoothly, you shouldn't lose anything. (And if it goes sideways, you can just restore from the regular system backups you've been making...)

[winged spire]

[dusty dove]

it's a after party tech related industry

[dusty dove]

it's a cirque solie show at the Wynn

[winged spire]

the CES website is lowkey horrible

[glass mural]

Big thanks to iono for helping me

[dusty dove]

this is the one i pay for. i sign up for some other 'free' ones on eventbite but idk how those work since i never went

[winged spire]

is it space themed?

[dusty dove]

ya lol but u dont have to dress in space theme

[winged spire]

thats sick

[dusty dove]

get the MGM credit card if u havnt yet, u get free parking at all mgm property

@winged spireis the nivdia keynote for media only since it's on a monday?

[winged spire]

No

only stuff on the 5th I belive

[dusty dove]

do u plan on going to that delta sphere keynote

[winged spire]

yeah

absolutely, never seen the sphere irl before lol

Doesn’t say anything about media only

[viral aurora]

Steam relies a fair bit on My Docs and app data, I am guessing clean installing would wipe all of that out. Can you install it in such a way that you keep all that in the same structure?

[dusty dove]

i wanan just go for the free drink/grammy away person playing whatever music

i went to the sphere for the first time last july, it was OK. the robots is a bit gimmicky. It's like they put chatgbt inside a shell of a robot . maybe it would been cool like 5yrs ago

[viral aurora]

If only game devs didnt insist on burying most of our save data in the App data folder, this would be easier.

[winged spire]

free drinks 🙏

[dusty dove]

dam i wont be able to go, so sad

[winged spire]

yeah the nvidia keynote is just first come first serve

[viral aurora]

I'll move this to tech chat I think...

[dusty dove]

ya i wont be able to go, i cant wait for the new GPU they gonna annouce. watch their stonk go up

[winged spire]

REAL

Im gonna run on stage and grab the 5090TI ultra titanium platinum

[dusty dove]

ill try to go to the delta one though, i should be able to grab the tickets before most people since im checking in monday at manadalay bay and thats where they have tickets for pickup for the sphere on that day

[winged spire]

is it worth like.. driving

[alpine gale]

You originally mentioned upgrading, not clean installing, hence my original reply. Anywho, if you do a clean install, then yes, you would have to manually backup and restore your data, including Documents / AppData.

[winged spire]

anywhere? how is vegas traffic

[dusty dove]

driving to vegas?

[winged spire]

in/around

like would it be a better idea to walk/shuttle everywhere

[dusty dove]

it's best if u have a car, because u can go off strip and not stuck paying $$$$ out of your ass to eat/drink. u can eat 'normal' people food like what local eats, reasonable prices

i won't recommend driving during the show hours or after hours. it's gonna be jam packed, that's why it's worth staying on property with CES buses

[dusty dove]

u should pick one of the building and stay there for that day instead of trying to do half day tech west and half day tech east

Just do 1 day tech west and another day tech east so u not wasting time traveling

im driving from calif, u?

[winged spire]

new orleans

probably not driving lol

thats like a 35 hour drive hahhah

[dusty dove]

if u think about renting a car vs how much that in uber u think u gonna be spending

[winged spire]

right yeah

[dusty dove]

remember u paying parking everywhere too unless its places like Treasure Island

or off strip like chinatown. Even going to downtown Fermont u have to pay for parking

it really depends on your budget and ur taste. if u wanna go fancy, money out of the ass whatever, then u can get anything on the strip.

if u wanna save a buck, there are ways, u just gotta look. there's some facebook groups with vegas that has lots of good tips/tricks. make sure u plan ahead and expect traffic bad.

U want to get to the show early and leave a bit early so u not stuck 40min+ each way (sometimes unavoidable)

[vapid smelt]

just E scooter no car needed 😛

[winged spire]

So all the hotels listed on ces’ website have the shuttle?

Or is it just spesific ones

[dusty dove]

but sphere is worth it since its free

Because otherwise u have to pay for a ticket/concert to get in to see those dam robots. they also got the directional music tunnel on the main lobby center

[dusty dove]

only specific ones on that map

[vapid smelt]

they have robots that made the dam there?! damn thats cool

[dusty dove]

@winged spire

@vapid smeltthey got these 'Ai' robots that can have a slight conversation with you. they can say your name, ask your fav color, etc. basically an ChatGBT with a robot face/arms

[winged spire]

so I see your hotels not on there

are you planning to just walk to the hotels wit the shuttle?

oh

[dusty dove]

mine is #4 mandalay bay

[winged spire]

no im tripping

[dusty dove]

is yours on the list

[vapid smelt]

damn its cheap to rent a car in vegas

[winged spire]

yeahim in Excalibur

[winged spire]

oh what

[graceful burrow]

that's bait

[winged spire]

what car lmao

[dusty dove]

this is my 1st year not doing Excalibur. i been going there the last 5 yrs or so

[graceful burrow]

guaranteed to get charged cleaning fees kek

[vapid smelt]

https://www.priceline.com/cart/checkout/usp/drive/ChRINGVsclJjTkRhZE5nTEF6UVAybRIUbU5naktReDh0a21VSXp3MmI5a2k=?cur=USD&pos=US

[dusty dove]

there's prob gonna be uber surge pricing too, i would imagine so if you do take that route or else you really stuck being on strip or just walking to the food courts

[vapid smelt]

you can rent a e scooter for $50 a day but a car for 5.73?

[dusty dove]

the sidewalk is pretty packed especially the entrance

there are people who do go there with scooters, not too many i've seen

@winged spirethere's like 8 app that connects to 'myvegas' that you can earn freeplays (free, no need to pay a single penny)

[vapid smelt]

i hate how the smoke free rooms in vegas smell like smoke still

[agile flint]

Vegas in general smells like smoke

[dusty dove]

if u staying at Excalibur i believe 2 nights u can redeem a $50 play

stay 3 nights at MGM property, they have $150 freeplay credit. I always redeem those when i go

[dusty dove]

theres non-smoking properties. i stayed at one in July, it was great

[vapid smelt]

many years ago our non smoking room we paid more still smells like smoke

[dusty dove]

because alot of these older hotels like Luxor would have 'non smoking room' but it was a smoking room for yearrrrssss and they never remodel it so the smell 'stick' to the walls

those are usually lower budget properties

[noble gazelle]

DBrand now has Samsung S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra cases and skins for pre-order - https://dbrand.com/shop/catalog/galaxy-s25-ultra-cases

[vapid smelt]

d brand cost too much

[winged spire]

have you stayed at the home two suites?

@dusty dove

my friend is telling me its literally ON the LVCC property

[dusty dove]

no i never stayed there. If it is on LVCC property it's prob expensive

is that like one of those Hilton own?

[vapid smelt]

how much money are you going to gamble?

[dusty dove]

just the freeplay credit i get for free

[winged spire]

my friend went to def con and literally hacked a slot machine

to pay out

[dusty dove]

@winged spireExcalibur is not bad, it's clean and sleepable, just motel 6 apperances

[vapid smelt]

[noble gazelle]

if Dbrand is too expensive than you don't have enough to get a $2500 Cad Samsung S25 Ultra phone ...

[dusty dove]

i like the view directly across from NYNY and you get that roller coaster smack in the middle

[winged spire]

I aint a fed lmao

[vapid smelt]

60 bucks for rubber and plastic

[dusty dove]

@winged spirefree crap on the myvegas app if u want free stuff

[winged spire]

I dont do much gambling outside of CS2

lmao

[dusty dove]

did u watch that coffeezilla video on it

[winged spire]

Yeah lol I dont really care tbh spinny cases fun

[dusty dove]

i dont either but if is free credit sure why not

I aint putting my own money in

[dusty dove]

i had my fun with overwatch loot boxes lol im done

but i earned those free, i didnt pay a single dollar for loot boxes

ya i saved a tons

and right before overwatch 2 annouced i oepn them all, had like over 300+

those were the fun times lol

oh ya i miss those remake videos of him

it was funny!!!

wow

i played Lich King and dota from warcraft 3 f rozen throne

looks sick

oh i didnt know that

[winged spire]

hm

@dusty dove does excaliber include parking

[dusty dove]

not unless you have MGM credit card. you have to pay that seperately per day

[winged spire]

hm

[dusty dove]

after all these years of going, i finally sign up for the MGM credit card. so this year i finally will have free parking in all MGM properties

[winged spire]

so can I pay for parking at any hotels even if im not staying at that one?

[dusty dove]

yup u pay parking as u exit and they charge by hours usually

[winged spire]

assuming the different hotels have different parking prices

where do you see the after parties?

[dusty dove]

you have to google them or look for links people post on reddit

some are on eventbites

i miss him and his work, he did good

[winged spire]

Do you ahve a link to the space one?

im something of a mega space nerd lol that would be perfect

@dusty dove

[gleaming compass]

How long do you want to park?

[winged spire]

I mean probably the whole 5 days

[gleaming compass]

Harry Reid Airport economy parking lot is $10 per day and the Monorail is between $5.50 for 1 day to $57.50 for a 7 day pass

So if you don't need your car for 5 days, you can park and ride for under $110

The monorail seems to be las vegas' biggest secret

[civic fox]

how is the same card i bought for 94 USD selling for 750 on newegg

[vapid smelt]

i had a crush on that card

[dusty dove]

for the space one, i contacted the guy directly on reddit. He has a discord too. i can dm you if you want

[civic fox]

its my current card

[winged spire]

if you could 🙏

[civic fox]

mine also runs a 2ghz clock instead of the ones shown here

[dusty dove]

check you dm i send you his username

[gleaming compass]

Shouldn't you factor in paying for credit monitoring? :P

[civic fox]

no i just wanted to see how this card is selling and this is like launch price right here

[vapid smelt]

was yours new in box with mcafee?

[patent violet]

kek

[civic fox]

it was new in the box but mcafee was not thankfully

[gleaming compass]

I was trying to make a newegg credit card breach joke

[civic fox]

well never really knew much about newegg so thats probably why i didnt get the joke

[gleaming compass]

That makes sense

Sorry

[civic fox]

ah no worries lol

[gleaming compass]

it looks like the McAfee "free" offer attempts to auto-renew and they don't even specify what countries they have VPN servers in

it also comes with McAfee anti-virus? you might want to check the youtube video on John McAfee's method of uninstalling the anti-virus software

[civic fox]

mcafee wont run on linux i am safe from them lol

[gleaming compass]

Did they get rid of the Enterprise scanner for Linux?

[bitter harbor]

You aren’t safe from McAffe. McAffe’s capture has only been delayed

[gleaming compass]

https://www.trellix.com/enterprise/en-us/assets/data-sheets/ds-virusscan-for-linux.pdf

The data sheet threating linux users still exists

They are still included on VirusTotal which I think is the linux versions of the scanners

[vapid smelt]

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wsandroid.suite&hl=en_US but androids is linux based https://www.mcafee.com/support/s/article/000001939?language=en_US so is chrome os

[civic fox]

how does that relate to linux they are linux 'based' but do not run the same software

[vapid smelt]

[civic fox]

i dont trust anything google ai says lol it has told people to eat glue before

[civic fox]

go and try running certain linux programs on chromeos its not gonna go to well

[modest cliff]

You can literally say that going from one distro to the next, ChromeOS isn't special.

[civic fox]

if its in the AUR it can be used

[graceful burrow]

They all run perfectly fine, I run chromeos flex daily and the only way for me to install applications is the web app extensions in Chrome which are useless, and through a Linux terminal

Every app I've tried runs fine kek

[ocean steeple]

Guys I have a problem

I have an old laptop Lenovo Ideapad S145 with a 4gb smothered ram
There is one slot available and the company says that it can be expandable to 12gb
But when running commands to check capacity it says 8gb

What's wrong

[vapid smelt]

remove the rag from it

[lavish moth]

Chrome OS is def a Linux distro

[pulsar violet]

I’m in India right now and I’m realizing I’m finding it insane that I’m accessing a Canadian website (web server) from here within seconds

Data being sent through Europe and all that

[graceful burrow]

Objectively it is fairly impressive

[civic fox]

well lesson learned don't try to put 7ghz on your memory that will break shit

[lavish moth]

Are there any Cpus on the market that could even handle 7Ghz memory on 4 sticks?

[civic fox]

i meant my GPU memory

i got carried away with it again

[lavish moth]

Ooh

I tend to run mine at about 5Ghz

[civic fox]

mine defaults to 5.6

[lavish moth]

Which one you got?

[civic fox]

GPU? a 1080ti

[silk island]

well, yeah...
