[obsidian oracle]

i-f you can get 2 5090 to work perfectly fine with eachother, boosting eachother by double

or i-f you dont play any new demanding games

[tight hill]

shouldent we just wait for there to be more mainstream 8k monitors?

im sure the only reason the 8k stock isent out is because there still selling 4k lol

[obsidian oracle]

we're only talking, 8k is not viable till 10 years later

its only on tv and who even uses tvs

we have 4k 27" monitors, you can use them like a tv if u sit 1mt away from them

and it will still be taking more of your view than a normal sized tv

i was thinking about getting a samsung neo for $1800

[obsidian oracle]

is that a tv

[tight hill]

no its a 57 inch ultrawide monitor 4k 240fps

[obsidian oracle]

57 inch...

also thats 240hz, not fps

[tight hill]

says its like 2 27 inch monitors side by side

[obsidian oracle]

anything above 32" is overkill

[tight hill]

1800r

[obsidian oracle]

heck i wouldnt even consider above 27" for my monitor

[obsidian oracle]

i prefer flat if its an option

[tight hill]

thats fair, this msi is the first curved ive ever had, I was wanting 3 then i found out i cant make my laptop run 3 at the same fps due to not enougth connections lol

rip

meanwhile avg desktop gpu has 4 output

not to meantion atleast 1 more u can get from igpu

i didnt realize usb-c caps at 60fps

i was trying usb-c to hdmi

[obsidian oracle]

60hz*

[tight hill]

i was going based off of the screens built in fps counter

also would give green artifacts sometimes

[obsidian oracle]

probably not even supporting 60hz 1080p

Murdered

[austere shale]

The 12vhpwr whatever connector is just awful and can self destruct at any time with any brand of cable but your best bet of that not happening is getting a good name brand like cablemod

[vapid smelt]

https://cablemod.com/adapterrecall/ no one is safe

[austere shale]

It can self destruct with the cable the gpu came with, just make sure it’s clean and plugged in all the way and do your best to not unplug it and replug it back in a bunch, try to do one and done

[bitter harbor]

Cablemod went through a couple of recalls originally but last I heard, they are good

[austere shale]

Plus if you got a cablemod cable and it did self destruct I’d like to think cablemod would right the situation better than some random no name amazon company

[full fossil]

why does every youtube video downloader suck all of a sudden

[polar fern]

@austere shale I’ve had zero issues with brand x stuff on Amazon, oddly enough

[winged spire]

Cough cough

This needs wider adoption

[bitter harbor]

It just kicks the can to the back of the motherboard so it is useless to me

[winged spire]

No

You just design an interface capable of transferring that much power with the addition of being impossible to seat improperly

It’s not exactly rocket science

[bitter harbor]

If you can design it to go on the motherboard you can design it for the gpu.

[winged spire]

Correct

4, 8 pin connectors are ugly, take a lot of board space and can be seated improperly

[tardy terrace]

WHERE DID THIS GO

this was so promising and then it just fucked off

[short rock]

isnt it still a WIP

or did board makers say fuck that, we like a nice fire

ok but this design is kinda sick

[gilded arch]

What the hell is going on with my PC rn…. GPU sometimes crashes and screen freezes, when I try to restart my pc becomes locked to 60 hz and doesn’t go beyond that. When I thought of it as a hardware error I tried reinstalling my GPU and cleaning everything it got fixed for a little bit then the same problem of getting locked to 60 hz happens and everything looks weird… even my taskbar color changed???? Idk what’s going on, could someone help?

On device manager, it says my GPU is disabled

[celest tangle]

What gpu? More specifically how big is the cooler and do you have a sag bracket. Mine did some similar issues though had more artifacting because it sagged so much it killed itself.

Luckily mine was like still a month within warentee and i got a brand new one.

[gilded arch]

I do not have a sag bracket, had the gpu for almost 5 years
5500 xt

I tried placing an object below it to simulate a sag bracket and it still doesn’t work

I also tried reseating the GPU multiple times connecting the pcie again and again idk whats wrong

[celest tangle]

How large is it? Also have you tried updsting bios or drivers recently?

[gilded arch]

Not at all

The device manager says the GPU is disabled so it’s definitely a hardware issue

Maybe the motherboard itself is faulty?

[celest tangle]

Maybe. The 5500xt is a smaller card so i doubt it would die to sag. I got a huge 3060 that shares a cooler with a 3080 so it is just fucking monstrosity huge and thats why it died

Try reinstalling the gpu driver get latest from amd website

[gilded arch]

I will, but will installing the driver fix the device manager issue?

Because it literally says the GPU isn’t connected for some reason

[rare otter]

Would this cable be ok to hook up to my nvidia titan x

[celest tangle]

If it says unavailable it knows its there

[rare otter]

Just wondering since I'm on my way to the store that has cable rn

[gilded arch]

Alright I’ll reinstall the drivers then

[rare otter]

So I'm gonna need someone to respond asap

[rare otter]

.

[celest tangle]

The titan x is what a 250w card. A single 6 pin is only 75w so i woulnt recomend

[smoky badge]

Yes

[rare otter]

Ummm what do I do

The place I'm heading to is je outlet

So like ima need help looking

They have an ebay site that shows everything they have in stock

Will I need to buy 1 8 pin and 1 6 pin?

Separately?

[smoky badge]

Actually, never mind..

[smoky badge]

Buy a better PSU

[celest tangle]

Not a splitter you need 2 separate cables to the gpu from the psu.

[rare otter]

1 8 pin
1 6 pin
Right?

[celest tangle]

If thats what the titan x has on it

Yes looks like it.

[rare otter]

Mines the last titan x to release

[celest tangle]

Should be an 8 pin and a 6 pin.

[rare otter]

The maxwell I think its called

[celest tangle]

Maxwell is 2nd to last titan xp is the last

Both are 6+8 so you should be fine with that

[rare otter]

So one 8 pin

And one 6 pin

Right?

[celest tangle]

Yes

[lyric sphinx]

Just make your own cable and you won't have a problem

[gilded arch]

Yeah reinstalling drivers doesn’t fix it, there is something severely wrong, when restarting a lot of screen glitching and pixels appearing…. Wtf.

[rare otter]

Ight thanks

[celest tangle]

Do you have dual channel memory by chance? Could be unrelated but try removing 1 stick if you can

[gilded arch]

1 stick of ram?

So I boot up my PC with one removed?

[celest tangle]

Yes

[gilded arch]

Holy

That fixed it

So how do I run all of my ram together and not have this issue?

[celest tangle]

Could be ram could be mobo issue not sure which

[gilded arch]

So I can’t do anything about it?

Not that i know of

Huh. Guess they are also getting no more updates. At least they announced they where going to stop updating pascal

Unless something breaks i doubt they will update it

[hollow scroll]

im not saying that lol, just the update wont download

[celest tangle]

Oh

[rare otter]

Is it my gpu?

[pastel marsh]

guessed right

[balmy anchor]

Linus probably has steam launch on startup lol

[obsidian oracle]

i do, got any problems about it ?

[balmy anchor]

nop, mine also opens on startup

deck wouldnt be a deck without steam lol

[obsidian oracle]

facts

it would be... d*ck

[stoic hearth]

h

[steady gale]

does anyone know a place where they can make you custom anime pc cases in the uk?

[viscid elm]

wha

[uneven stirrup]

Is this possible

To un pin all of them

It’s a $400 mobo

[quasi belfry]

It’d be easier to probably solder in a new socket

[uneven stirrup]

Grr

[serene coral]

itll buff out

[viscid elm]

good luck

[uneven stirrup]

I don’t wanna solder tho

[quasi belfry]

Warranty?

[bitter harbor]

Even it out for both sides

[uneven stirrup]

Ooo… maybe

[oak pier]

how do you mess up this badly

[viscid elm]

not just solder but you need to reflow the under side of the socket then put a new one back on

[uneven stirrup]

How much worth is that

[viscid elm]

its not

[quasi belfry]

I don’t think you can even do it tbh

[viscid elm]

unless you already own it just no

[viscid elm]

he can, he fully can but its not easy and its VERY hard

[quasi belfry]

Does AMD sell AM5 sockets?

[uneven stirrup]

Mhm

[quasi belfry]

Huh

[quasi belfry]

Won’t even load the page

[viscid elm]

how did you even get banned from ali

[uneven stirrup]

Bro bought bombs

[uneven stirrup]

Ooooo that’s 5 of em

[quasi belfry]

Expected like a digikey link

[viscid elm]

this looks to be a real one

[quasi belfry]

Also I said sold by AMD, and that’s not AMD

[viscid elm]

well amd does not make them?

amd might design them but they do not make them nor own the compaines that make them

[uneven stirrup]

Bro can I solder that well… I’d need to go to my engineering class and steal their $50,000 soldering station

[viscid elm]

well yeah no shit its BGA so you NEED a hot air station

[uneven stirrup]

They have that

Some guy here soldered a new chip on a gpu actually

[balmy anchor]

in multiple videos, ive seen the "Ju..." ram and never understood why they were bleeping the name

[viscid elm]

did the gpu work?

[jolly musk]

it probably sounds too weird and could mean something bad

[uneven stirrup]

Apparently yes… it was a 2080ti

[viscid elm]

very nice

[balmy anchor]

well its featured in an nsfw ltt clips compilation so probably means something real bad

[uneven stirrup]

Uh… I mean I can…https://youtu.be/wfsCciL-u3Q?si=BScBjBC5EiaMhtdZ

I should probably just buy a godlike then I’d be worth it

So yeah I’m fucked

[solemn haven]

Rip 3080 fan...

[stoic hearth]

how the hell did you manage to do that

[scarlet owl]

Best get on to evga see if they still have a spare for ya

[solemn haven]

@scarlet owl yeah I could always email Vince (Kingpin) but won't bother for a 20$ replacement part ^^

Still not sure how this happened

I got a 4070 super (MSI) artefacting like crazy... The card is new from 4 weeks ago. PSU is not the problem (just tested)

[still sparrow]

could have just gotten a bad card . it happens

[solemn haven]

Yep would have been a first 😄

[rare otter]

Yall seen cobra kai?

[regal lodge]

Some cards can have.. interesting effects. My 3090 would cause my pc to restart once after a "rest" (not using the pc for some hours) when watching yt (strangly not a problem with twitch and floatplane) and would work perfectly after for the rest of the day

[sharp summit]

Hello there 👀

Finally a lian li psu explosion brought me here after lurking in the forums since 2008

[alpine gale]

Anything is possible with enough time, effort, and expertise. I'd replace the socket. Fixing every pin would leave me working around $0.25/hr.

[celest tangle]

Waterblock time

[sharp summit]

Only of it was possible to get a response out of lian li after filling 10 support forms in a month

[celest tangle]

The only fine i have had to return something is when my 3060 died from gpu sag. Tuf oc model so same massive cooler as the 3090 which does mean nice cool temps and massive oc possible but still heavy

I am debaiting shunt modding it and seeing how far i can push it once i get a new gpu.

[proud cosmos]

hey y'all

[celest tangle]

Hoi

[sharp summit]

In my case my entire pc went with the psu

Just a loud af explosion , smoke filling the pc and room , weird yellowish liquid coming out of it, mobo, cpu, gpu deep fried

[celest tangle]

Ah. I got a backup psu and I'll probably only run 2 sticks of ram if i do but apparently the 3060 overclocks really nicely. Maybe I'll only end up putting the strix bios on it not sure yet since that is good improvement with it's higher max power.

There is a bigger jump to be made flashing the strix bios from stock than the strix bios to shunt mod

[sharp summit]

Im tryna contact lian li but if all else fails i have a email ready to be sent to LTT as well as steve, who ever wishes to investigate. Would ship the unit to them and hope lian li gets as much slander as possible

[ornate sedge]

hi

[celest tangle]

Yeah customer service had kinda gone down the crapper for a lot of companies.

Why i wish evga could make every part of my pc lol

[obsidian oracle]

did a bird land there

[solemn haven]

Indeed 😄 good candidate for it

[celest tangle]

I am hopeing there is a 9070xt waterblock available at launch

[regal lodge]

How to start a fire faster then Nvidia

[bitter harbor]

Oh. Oh no...

[celest tangle]

I mean molex is up to 11a at 12 so 132w and thats 2 molex from the psu so 264w max. If you used seperate molex conecters for each molex to 8 pin that would be 528W so you in theory power a 4090 off 4 molex

Still a bad idea but not over specs on anything

[sturdy dune]

looking for displate suggestions, i want to add some red / oranges to my room, any suggestions?

[fossil frost]

thats ignoring resistance and inefficiency in the connectors, and the different conductor thicknesses/resistance too

[celest tangle]

Still you have almost 80w extra to play around with the 4090 was only 450w.

[polar fern]

[sharp summit]

Exactly why im hoping either LMG or GN gets a whiff , ive packed the psu for shipping to either already lmao. Weird thing is there was no surge , no other electrical appliance got affected, no circuit breakers tripped , the pc was turned off. The thing combusted out of nowhere

[storm otter]

Looks like this morning they fully raised the price It was free yesterday

[alpine gale]

Huh? Where do you see this? The base Emby server is free. Extra "premiere" features are paid.

[alpine gale]

Apologies for all my emoji reactions, but NEVER EVER -- E.V.E.R. blindly trust Machine Learning. ML can be useful, but it spits out incorrect information far too often, many times which people do not verify.

[storm otter]

Ok

[bitter harbor]

How does Tik Tok's earnings compare specifically yt shorts because last I heard, those are slim margins as well

[storm otter]

Google said it was free too

[fair otter]

yo on the topic of machine learning cheap Chinese psus are kinda cracked for home lab

[alpine gale]

Indeed. Emby Server is still free to download and install. You only need to pay for Emby Premiere if you want any of these Premium features. https://emby.media/premiere.html

[storm otter]

Can I put a m3u on emby for free

[vapid smelt]

my fire hazard is a 6700XT and 5600X with mild over clock ok both running on 450W PSU

[vapid smelt]

its best not to fill all your ram slots

[wary summit]

yea i figured with amd

ill just buy fake ram for the rgb

6600 or 6400 or 6800

i thought 6000 for am5

[vapid smelt]

you can go higher just most the time the cpus dont like ram over 6000

but you may be lucky and if not you can tune the ram down to 6000

[wary summit]

ahh i see

X870 or B850, iirc no difference apart from pice 5

but then 5090 has Pcie 5.0 right

[vapid smelt]

has but doesn't need

[wary summit]

Any noticeable different

[vapid smelt]

the price

[wary summit]

price ain’t an issue here

[wary summit]

Literally bought a prebuilt just for the 5090 and 9800x3d and then selling the other parts

[wary summit]

but B850 (a) isint on there…

[wary summit]

sigh, there’s no X670 white asus motherboard

[oak pier]

I hate when plex doesn't auto recognize the show and populate the info for me

[karmic flame]

Yeah ive had a few in the past where it matched the movie with some questionable material.

[oak pier]

it’s so much worse when it’s a 500 episode anime

manually renamed the seasons, but i’ll be damned it if i manually populate episode names and info

[karmic flame]

what i did with similar things is used a tool to auto rename all files in a folder in a specific format that plex should easily decipher what it is.

[oak pier]

not a big deal, it still has them numbered accurately so i can cope

[uneven stirrup]

Hehe

[uneven stirrup]

Mines broken lmao

[uneven stirrup]

Also one of your pins is coming out

[serene coral]

also looks like corrosion on the plug itself

could be wrong tho

[west oar]

[obsidian oracle]

its chubby

[tranquil yacht]

Wouldn't be surprised since I accidentally broke the PCI locking mechanism when struggling to install the card.

https://tenor.com/view/waffles-mousles-scream-prove-for-fuwu-marv-gif-23279388

Yeah, I'm going to need a motherboard and case swap next.

Going ATX.

[obsidian oracle]

i think he means this

[tranquil yacht]

Clearly the motherboard was never designed for this chonker of a GPU (the SATA ports are under the GPU).

[obsidian oracle]

oh nvm he means whole left two lmao

u should put them back in quickly, not safe

even tho gpu cant pull enough to do anything, it will still corrode faster if it stays like that

[tranquil yacht]

The left connector not plug into anything?

[obsidian oracle]

oh really? rip

you'd be suprised

[obsidian oracle]

blame the gpu for not populating that

my 1660 super does

[tranquil yacht]

It's one of those PSU that looks like it'll explode.

[obsidian oracle]

is it just a basic uncolored metal psu

[tranquil yacht]

🤣

I had to open it once to replace the fan in it.

[obsidian oracle]

[tranquil yacht]

PSU fan died a long time ago. Replaced it with a generic PC fan using those molex looking connectors for power.

I just found out what happened with my 6600XT… y’all are no help… it was a bios corruption… my pc randomly shut off in the middle of the night cause we got a power outage… which lead to a bio corruption… ~w~

[bitter harbor]

Solution, fix gpu bios. Youre welcome I take paypal /j

[uneven stirrup]

Yeah some people just don’t think… also no

[bitter harbor]

:(

[hasty needle]

get a decent battery backup

[uneven stirrup]

I should

[hasty needle]

Let me know if you need help or suggestions. A UPS backup from APC or Cyber Power are both solid, just make sure it has enough wattage to run what you need.

[obsidian oracle]

waaaah

how did a power outage cause gpu bios to corrupt, thats so weird 😭

[alpine gale]

That's what I was thinking... I can see this happening during a BIOS update but I've never had a device's firmware / BIOS "corrupt" simply due to a sudden power loss before. And I've done some stupid stuff with my power supply in my computer before. 😏

[obsidian oracle]

saame

i many times just unplugged the pc out of wall

[fringe lance]

What can i run on my pc so my room stays warm?

[alpine gale]

prime95 and FuzzyDonut™ tester 9000. (aka Furmark.)

[fringe lance]

so far while im gaming during day it stays warm and is cheaper than the baseboar

[fringe lance]

12 hr test wont hurt an i5 will it?

[alpine gale]

In general, most PC ocmponents are designed to hard shutoff if they reach unsafe temperatures.

Running at maximum heat / load won't kill a component, but it may shorten its useful lifespan.

[fringe lance]

ah

so maybe just leaving pc on with game afk would be enough and not so harmful then

[fringe lance]

i should mention under those test max it hit was 67c

[alpine gale]

Likely well under maximum design temperature. You can look this up on Intel Ark. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark.html

[fringe lance]

nothin wrong i would assume just sufficient cooling?

thinking in a year or 2 i could sell my 12600kf and get something a bit faster and more ram

[zenith fox]

3070 or 2080 super

[polar fern]

@uneven stirrup I have a 6650 xt. They can have bios issues

[uneven stirrup]

Ok I have a more than 1 problem… I can’t update the bios cause the drivers are fucked too

So I have fucked drivers and fucked bios

[polar fern]

Do you have a board with video out?

[uneven stirrup]

the reason I have fucked drivers is because I tried to update them because I thought it was a driver issues

[uneven stirrup]

No… but in safe mode some programs detect the gpu and the gpu has heat on the core

And amdvflash only detects the gpu in safe mode… but it doesn’t recognize the bios that I added saying the p/n doesn’t match

Also can’t get drivers when the bios is fucked

[polar fern]

I’m thinking processor with onboard graphics to get up and running but hmmm ok

[uneven stirrup]

This gpu has a bios switch but none of the bios on the switch work

[uneven stirrup]

I’m using that rn

[polar fern]

Board should have a bios flash tool from the oem

[uneven stirrup]

Smh

Not the motherboard the gpu bios

[full fossil]

i hate updating bios

[polar fern]

Ok well same thing

[uneven stirrup]

N-no not the same thing

Smh

The card doesn’t have a usb port

[atomic flame]

Is anyone else getting these weird Intel adjacent ads about 13 and 14th gen chipsets on ltt videos they even mention Linus by name which I find weirder

They're like clearly ai generated bs too

[uneven stirrup]

Goes to show how crap 13 and 14th gen is

What’s funny is they aren’t bad cpus… far from it… just unstable as shit

And no upgrade path

[alpine gale]

Nope, can't say that I am. YouTube Premium prevents all ads, save for those baked into videos by creators.

[whole swallow]

User Benchmark got their hands on generative AI

[vapid smelt]

what a chump paying for no ads

[atomic flame]

Are you using yt premium? If not are you getting these weird ass Intel lawsuit ads

[wary summit]

they canceled the order :woeisme:

[atomic flame]

They get paid more lol

[wary summit]

now i gotta find a way to get a 5090 ;-;

[whole swallow]

yea I have Premium so I don't get ads.

[warm summit]

hello everyone

[atomic flame]

Is there anyone who isn't paying for premium cuz I feel these ads need to be mentioned to lmg if it they are legitimately both hurting their brand and being misleading

[alpine gale]

Yup, mostly because I'm too lazy to setup a proper Ad-Guard protected DNS server for my TVs. That and I don't pay for cable or any other streaming services, so ~$400 CAD / year for Spotify and YouTube Premium is chump change compared to what most people I know pay per year for entertainment.

[vapid smelt]

and they still dont have a "real" review of the ultra cpus

[wary summit]

arc browser

[atomic flame]

I should like click on those ads to see what they give me

Which like yeah sketchy but If we want to help lol

[wary summit]

it better not be those fake like drop shipping ads

[uneven stirrup]

I’d love to know what % of the tech community is furries

[keen cradle]

40-60%

easy

[atomic flame]

It's something about Intel 13 and 14th gen I usually skip but I ended up waiting a bit and got weirded out when they said "Linus from Linus tech tips" while watching wan clips

[whole swallow]

yea that's my logic tho I don't even have Spotify. I just use YT Music as my in car music service

[vapid smelt]

as a sailor i pay $40 usd a year for all the big video streaming services

[uneven stirrup]

I was looking for a video about update the bios on my gpu and the first one was a furry explaining how to do it… no joke

[restive lion]

Interesting combo

[wary summit]

but bend gate

[keen cradle]

kek

[restive lion]

Most people I know just use yt music since it comes with their premium

[alpine gale]

I get that a lot. YouTube / Google Music's UI makes me want to 🤮, they lack a desktop client, and don't have the same social discovery features as Spotify. If I could pay for just YouTube video sans music, I would.

[scarlet forge]

hello

[wary summit]

does google/youtube have a student discount

if it does i’m dropping Spotify Student

[restive lion]

The social aspect is part of why I don't use Spotify lol

(I use AM)

[uneven stirrup]

I know Apple does…. YouTube does

[uneven stirrup]

YouTube premium is $6.99 a month with student I use it

[uneven stirrup]

Yes

[alpine gale]

No idea if it's available in all countries, but yes, they do.

[wary summit]

spotify premium is6.99 AUD

student albeit

[whole swallow]

im a weirdo and just buy music and maintain my own music library. Only reason I use YT Music is in car voice controls

[wary summit]

$10.49 PM

[neon mesa]

Yes it does have a student discount
I'm using one by using my uni :D

[wary summit]

;-; i meannn

[alpine gale]

I do this too. There's a CD wallet in my vehicle I regularly swap albums out of, and I still buy then rip CDs.

[atomic flame]

What's the point of yt music when Spotify knows my tastes already

[restive lion]

Oh you're the one keeping CD sales alive

[atomic flame]

Also Spotify has podcasts so thats a win

[wary summit]

yea spotify’s algorithm is kinda goated ngl

[vapid smelt]

i still find it funny Pandora pays more then Spotify

[wary summit]

amazon music kinda shit

[vapid smelt]

hey thats what i use

[whole swallow]

kinda?

[wary summit]

i thought it was included with prime

[restive lion]

Meanwhile my 9-track cd switcher sitting unplugged in my car cuz I installed a CarPlay head unit

[atomic flame]

Do people still use deezer

[neon mesa]

Youtube music is the best one

Biggest library, bundled with premium

I will say I've thought about getting into records but that's so expensive

[wary summit]

In australia it’s weird, our amazon prime is weird as fuck

[neon mesa]

If you want the feeling of physical but on a budget, get a DVD burner

[wary summit]

it used to be 6.99 Pm but no Prime video

then it was 9.99 w video no music, idk what it is now

[hard oriole]

my stepdad has a modded ipod in his 2024 nissan truck

[vapid smelt]

a few

[restive lion]

I have access to a dvd burner tower and a computer that still runs adobe encore

[alpine gale]

Nice nice. One of these days I need to get around to doing the whole car audio thing again. I kept my Alpine Type-R speakers + sub + 2x amps from my last vehicle... just been really lazy with the newer model car not making proper time to look at steering wheel control connections and a proper line-out conversion setup from the stock headunit. Perhaps it's time to just replace the entire headunit with something modern.

[restive lion]

Yeah I have my stock head unit sitting on a shelf atm

I still have to do some army soldering to get the wheel buttons to work properly

I really hate messing with stock harnesses

[wary summit]

i swear just mounting an iPad on-top your screen or where the infotainment system would be is better

way better voice controls

[restive lion]

CarPlay:

(Or android auto depending on your phone)

[alpine gale]

Same. Luckily, some person makes custom harnesses for those who want to keep their existing SubUwU stereos but swap their speakers / amplifier out for something better.

[restive lion]

Oh yeah I got a whole harness kit from crutchfield for my head unit

[alpine gale]

Very first MCM video I ever watched. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-ALYArl5S4

[restive lion]

But I don't have one for the Bluetooth module specifically which is where the buttons are wired to

[patent violet]

I really want to do a raspberry pi infotainment center

[wary summit]

predicted tesla (idk how old that video is but by the look of iPad OS it’s quite old)

[restive lion]

I also had to army solder onto the reverse fuse wire from the fusebox since apparently my stock head unit didn't have a reverse lead(??)

[wary summit]

isint mighty car mods australian

[patent violet]

Sometimes it will signal this over CAN bus

[hard oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/dankpods-nano-comedy-funny-gif-21624400

[patent violet]

Instead of using a dedicated reverse wire

[restive lion]

2008 Honda accords are bizzare

[wary summit]

Dankkkk

[patent violet]

Honestly I wish everything would actually come over the can bus properly to the head unit

[restive lion]

There's no CAN or reverse lead into the head unit

[patent violet]

Bleh

[restive lion]

I ran my own wire to the fuse box lol

[wary summit]

2022 Subi forester head unit is DOGSHIT

but my dad won’t replace it

[restive lion]

Did a shit job cuz my soldering iron died halfway through for whatever reason but hey it's not coming off (don't ask about the heat shrink)

[patent violet]

I still have the stock Nissan head unit from Bosh and my Toyotas head unit from Panasonic on my shelf. I need to crack them open and see what I can do

[wary summit]

Wait, is Raspberry Pi based Infotainment viable

[restive lion]

Tbh the newer head units seem like a huge pain to replace

[uneven stirrup]

What can cause a gpu to be so corrupt like in my case… it’s not even that the gpu is dead it’s just the gpu got so corrupted probably from a windows update or something

[wary summit]

and they’re like slow, like literally 2010 tech

[patent violet]

I have tested this a couple years ago and it is viable up to the sense that it's still kind of clunky

At least if you just use off the shelf software

[restive lion]

Yeah but there's so much running through them isn't there

No wonder they're so slow

[wary summit]

no, we don’t even have 90% the features they have in the US or Japan

[patent violet]

I had found a display that goes where the infotainment center goes but only had a display and I put a rpi

[wary summit]

We can install yelp that’s it

[restive lion]

Why is yelp an option

[patent violet]

One problem I ran into was temperature issues

But once I put a beefy heat sink on it it wasn't an issue

[wary summit]

and it’s like 2010 internet yelp

but it doesn’t have internet capabilities

[restive lion]

Tbh all I really care about is disabling phone home and having CarPlay

If it meets those criteria's I'll leave it alone

[patent violet]

You can disable the phone home by removing the fuse that goes to the telephony control unit or whatever it's called on your vehicle

[wary summit]

Subaru Starlink

[restive lion]

I have an accord from 2008, it never phoned home. Unfortunately it didn't have CarPlay so it had to go

[patent violet]

What was really funny was to find that the telephony unit was in the trunk area of my car

Like come on you know what the fuck you were doing trying to hide that shit

[patent violet]

I might re-enable it one day to test the remote start and remote unlock so I can sniff out the signal

[atomic flame]

Its honestly hilarious how much overlap there is between car guys and tech guys

[patent violet]

It's so integrated now

[wary summit]

so i’m getting a car soon (18 wooo) Should i install remote start, is that smart?

[patent violet]

And that isn't necessarily a good thing

[restive lion]

I wonder if running an rpi 247 would drain the battery

[atomic flame]

Just seeing all this infotainment talk makes me bring this up

[patent violet]

No actually it won't

[wary summit]

it’s like 5W max tdp

[patent violet]

Unless you have it doing shit 24/7

At max performance

[restive lion]

Well I can just tap that into my home wifi and have remote start that way 👍

[wary summit]

i’ve seen my mate run a PI off AAA batteries for like a month in the school bathroom

[patent violet]

I have a SimCom8000 or something on mine which allows for remote control over cellular networks

[restive lion]

I'm sure some nerd has made firmware for the pi to do that

[hard oriole]

...for what?

[patent violet]

That's pretty easy to set up

[wary summit]

Teacher early warning system

[alpine gale]

Entirely up to you. Remote start is purely a creature comfort feature to me. Useful in really hot or really cold climates as you can remotely start the vehicle to get it up / down to temperature before driving.

[patent violet]

That's probably an RP2040

[restive lion]

Unfortunately my car is manual so remote start will never happen

[patent violet]

When you turn the key it tells it to start

[atomic flame]

Yeah the preheat and cool in my Tesla is greaaaat

[patent violet]

There's a way to say you turn the key without turning the key

[restive lion]

You have to hold the clutch or it'll refuse to turn over

[patent violet]

Oh wait yeah no that sucks

[wary summit]

yea can you remote start a manual?

[restive lion]

Well it's to make sure you don't kill the starter by doing it while in gear

[patent violet]

If it has an electronic clutch control yes

[atomic flame]

Now I wanna rant about how only 2 side windows are laminated like why at least laminate all 4 so it's quieter

[wary summit]

it’s a 2008 subuwu

[patent violet]

SUBAHWEEEEEEEEEW

[alpine gale]

Can confirm; a Tesla Model 3 was the vehicle I did my Oregon roadtrip in last Summer. Of all the existing electric vehicles out there, it and Rivian's offerings are the only one's I'd buy myself at the moment.

[wary summit]

Fuck electric (only because our electricity infrastructure can barley support homes rn)

[patent violet]

Honestly I do not trust any electric vehicles at the moment because of the potential issues that can happen and the fact that we don't have a proper way of actually dealing with electric fires

[wary summit]

pls nuclear 🙏

[restive lion]

Nuclear cars sound like a good idea

[wary summit]

byd blade

[restive lion]

We should do that

[wary summit]

young sheldon it

i’ll request fire detectors and califorim

[atomic flame]

Yeah when it comes to the startups it seems rivian is gonna get out the hole also Japanese evs suck ass I dunno how Nissan who got there first in the mainstream manufacturers managed to get so behind compared to Chevy Ford and others while Toyota sits around with only the bz4x

[patent violet]

I am a big fan of things like electric forklifts and other industrial vehicles

[atomic flame]

Honda EV wise is Toyota from like 3 years ago

[patent violet]

But that's about it

[alpine gale]

Eh, IDK if it's that Japanese EV's suck, or if it's that they stagnated on hybrids because the rest of the market hadn't caught up yet. (And now that the market has caught up... I wonder if they're holding back because of the number of issues with EV's, or just because they're stubborn.)

[atomic flame]

Also they really really like hydrogen

[dusky jacinth]

BMW seemed like they were on to something a while ago with the i3 at first, at least for something with great range, but it didn't seem to quite properly translate into something people actually wanted to buy for most of their lineups.

[wary summit]

didint toyota say it’s better to make 10,000 hybrids over 100 evs

[atomic flame]

But what I see is that hydrogen cars aren't going to be big but hydrogen in other applications should be at some point

[restive lion]

Electric forklifts just make sense, easy to swap out their batteries

[wary summit]

hydrogen is and will be a flop

[dusky jacinth]

For them and their highly dense urban and suburban areas, it'd probably do them well in Japan.

[patent violet]

The truth is is that it's truly about energy and energy storage. Gasoline and other kinds of carbon-based fuels that have a one-way energy conversion typically have much more potential energy and are way cheaper to create at a performance to volume or mass ratio

[alpine gale]

I'm not sold on EV's either - the world seems to have jumped straight from Hybrids to full EV's without thinking of all the logistics behind this. I want to see the world standardize PHEV's first, then we can talk about EV's.

[atomic flame]

Once aviation gets hydrogen flowing good I think it's the tipping point heavy industry needs to get into hydrogen which suits heavy industry

[restive lion]

back to that nuclear conversation

[wary summit]

Hybrids are great imo

Good low speed acceleration and fuel economy

[patent violet]

Until we can build some sort of solid state energy storage system that has the same or at least a fraction close to the potential energy storage that carbon-based fuels have EVs are a tough sell

[wary summit]

just look at Toyota Crown, RWD, V6 With 0-100km in under 5

perfect sleeper, looks like a camry

[dusky jacinth]

Here in the US now, it won't really make sense for normal cars and trucks. Only the major rigs and maybe some marine vehicles and certain aircraft would see any reason at all to use hydrogen.

[patent violet]

And it needs to be a similar price tier

[wary summit]

why don’t evs use SiCarbon batteries?

[patent violet]

We should've never discovered gasoline

[patent violet]

Cost

[wary summit]

what happened to solid state batteries i feel like they fell off

[dusky jacinth]

And unpredictability.

[wary summit]

a bunch of phones use them, in china at least

[patent violet]

A lead acid battery is a solid state battery

[wary summit]

new info to me

[uneven stirrup]

So yes the current Vbios p/n are just straight doesn’t exist meaning that it’s super corrupt

[patent violet]

That last piece of your sentence should have given you the answer

China uses the market to prove culpability far too often

[dusky jacinth]

Well they figured them out first before anyone else on how to make them optimal enough to compete with LiPo and Lion.

[patent violet]

But that's because they don't care about waste

Oil and gas keeps putting money into salt cells for some reason and I'm guessing there's something behind that

[wary summit]

and why can’t apple give bigger mAh batteries, like the same volume you could fit at least 4000

[dusky jacinth]

They also r&d a lot of their own tech, so as much that combined with what Rouing mentioned, they already can afford the means to create those said batteries and improve their processes as quickly as possible.

[patent violet]

Batteries are actually really complicated and sure they could pack a ton of energy into smaller volume but that comes at a major cost to reliability and durability

There's this massive formula that industry uses to determine what the golden ratio is between it

[dusky jacinth]

Also, Apple does as much as possible under their own roof in terms of hardware and software design and engineering, so they don't have to go through everyone else as much to meet the targets they want out of them.

[patent violet]

Everyone that they do partner with they still do in-house testing

[vapid smelt]

then you wouldnt spend $90 at the apple store to replace the battery as often

[dusky jacinth]

Therefore, if something like batteries become an issue in terms of capacity, they can afford to work around those limitations via other ways.

[patent violet]

Then you run into the whole issue we have with software becoming shit versus hardware trying to keep up

You can't just keep increasing the capacity because you can't keep your power usage down
