You would much rather want to focus on being efficient with your usage rather than actually increasing capacity constantly

Work it both ways not just one way

[wary summit]

i’d rather android any day, but i’m going on a roadtirp across states and in australia you’re lucky you get cell service 100km from a CBD

and satellite sos kinda only on iPhone outside of china

and i’m not buying a garmin inreach

[patent violet]

I'm okay with iPhones being the test bed here

Those satellite modems still require a lot of tweaking because they are pretty damn noisy

[wary summit]

is there anything on aliexpress to adapt Satellite connectivity to an android?

[patent violet]

Not only that but anything that Apple actually innovates on top of this gets signed over to starlink to be marketed to other OEMs and carriers

[bitter harbor]

I just finished a major writing assignment for a college class. It is not the best but dang am I proud of it.

[dusky jacinth]

Which also leads to Apple having somewhat of an advantage to anyone else by them having their own ecosystem, because they can set the rules for how things work.
Technically, you can do this with something like Android, but it's looser in requirements because it's meant to be implemented in any phone of any spec and thus each install needs to be tweaked and adjusted for each phone it's put on.

[uneven stirrup]

Holy crap… I know what happened… windows was updating it tired to update my driver… I thought it wasn’t turning off so I turned off the psu… that was my fault… I corrupted my own gpu

[patent violet]

That's why you end up with OEM specific builds of Android like Samsung which is very well known for its very tight control on battery usage and as a result is known to have very specific instructions on bypassing battery restrictions in order to have total background usage of an application

[dusky jacinth]

Especially the custom models back a few years that used to do things quite creatively, like having two screens to one device in different sizes and aspect ratios, or having modular components or add-ons.

[dusky jacinth]

True.

[patent violet]

For what it's worth I would actually prefer to have an operating system which is perfect at what it does at the level of an operating system and then let hardware OEMs build something that is perfect for what it is built to do agnostic of whatever operating system is running on it

Having Android separate of the OEMs opens up many more doors than Apple actually has but yes the control is lost and you can get much more forced innovation out of that

[dusky jacinth]

Still funny how back then when Android only just got onto the scene, there was like... Several different phone OS' that were around, a few of them even being built from Linux kernel, like WebOS.

[patent violet]

Windows phones were fantastic and I wish they never died

They were so fast and they did exactly what they needed to

[dusky jacinth]

Which was a big one by Palm that still lives on to this day, albeit in IoT form.

[patent violet]

They lasted forever...

I have my old Palm Pilot still

[dusky jacinth]

I still wish I could've had a Pre 3 back when they were out.

[dusky jacinth]

There's a blast from the past. I think I've at least seen one or two before by happenstance.

[patent violet]

It doesn't turn on anymore

I think I've repaired this six or seven times

I'm probably not going to repair it again.

It's funny to think I can use an STM32 and get way more processing power out of it with shitloads more connectivity at 1/60th the cost of whatever SOC this has at its time

[dusky jacinth]

Well yeah, no surprise. The thing runs a Motorola 68k for the cpu.

The STM32 runs a Cortex-M. Not sure which one you have either, but any of them could beat that thing with even less power too.

[alpine gale]

Ah yes, Palm / HP WebOS and Blackberry's QNX Tablet OS. Too little, too late to market. 😦

[dusky jacinth]

Ah, here's the exact package for Pilot.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freescale_DragonBall

And just as expected it's pretty slow. They eventually replaced them altogether with the i.MX series, which were ARM based instead.

[wary summit]

why can you rip the dies off SSDs and RAMs

like? solder it on pls

by just peeling the sticker

i’m pretty sure void warrant stickers are illegal in australia

[patent violet]

And in the United States

[wary summit]

ok they’re not illegal but aus has great consumer protection laws

[patent violet]

Taking apart something doesn't necessarily mean I broke warranty. If I can't look inside I don't want it anyways

Now when I start stealing capacitors and the transformers out of a PSU for other reasons, that voids warranty

Lol

[wary summit]

I bought like Xiaomi Mi care plus or something and I opened it and they voided that so I don’t know what the fuck that is

[patent violet]

Yoink

My capacitor died on my ac unit so it has some nasty sized PSU caps for the moment until my Amazon package arrives in 4 days

I forgot about that

It screams "Touch me and die"

[wary summit]

if i open my iphone does that void warranty im so confused

[patent violet]

Technically yes.

[wary summit]

what about replacing the fans on a 5090

well the like shroud

[patent violet]

Not if you keep the originals

[wary summit]

Cuz i want white

[patent violet]

Because suddenly they don't know

[wary summit]

true

[patent violet]

I have sent a card back to ASUS without the shroud or heat sink on it and they repaired it

[vapid smelt]

[patent violet]

I have not tried this with any other ABI OEM

[wary summit]

It’s a all white build remember

But the GPU, according to email support is Palit

[patent violet]

Frankly I don't see why replacing a key sync or shroud on a GPU would void the warranty unless there was obvious damage caused by the swap

And the type of damage that you would incur from doing that would actually be pretty specific and identifiable

[vapid smelt]

https://www.ifixit.com/News/74736/warranty-void-stickers-are-illegal-in-the-us-what-about-elsewhere idk about emu land

[patent violet]

You do open yourself up to things like them accusing you of failing to install the new cooling system properly causing overheating

It would be very hard for you to fight that claim

Depending on the damage of course

And whether or not you actually go through that hell with support depends on what side of the bed that support agent handling your ticket woke up on

[wary summit]

imma just paint the shroud, or wrap it white

[wary summit]

yea its like just the fans and the plastic, dont even touch the PCB

[patent violet]

Something smells like fish in my apartment suddenly

It looks like he got up into the mechanism and when I closed my couch earlier I sliced his head off

I didn't even realize he escaped

[uneven stirrup]

[patent violet]

Well it looks like I'm replacing my carpet

And a couch

And a hamster

[finite breach]

I have a very specific question. I am planning on buying a nice TV, I made my choice it's going to be an 85' Neo QLED Samsung TV.
I'm from Mongolia and here people add like 200-500 USD on the price because they imported it. I was browsing Taobao and there the TV is cheaper then anything here, but there's one issue. Chinese samsung or not doen't have any google play services so its a hassle to use, is there any way to make google play services work on these Chinese TV's?

[finite breach]

The cost of the TV is like 2200USD at most, but here they're selling for 2,800USD which is outrageous. I could order from amazon there are some companies that ship orders to Mongolia on behalf of me, but the shipping is crazy expensive plus it might be 110V and here we use 220V, there are multiple issues to keep in mind, the shipping will take at least 2 months maybe 3. Unless you ship it via airplane which might be as expensive as the TV.

[wary summit]

just get a android box

not a unknown brand one, like a chromecast or amazon stick

and you have full google smart TV

[finite breach]

Yea I've thought about it, but it's less convenient for me lol

[wary summit]

how so?

[finite breach]

another remote, there's no built in features

[wary summit]

you could flash the OS

[patent violet]

Android TV is looking more and more like what I want

Google TV* or whatever is called now I don't even give a shit

[wary summit]

yea its shit

what should i upgrade to from a 12600k? i need more cpu performance for running sophisticated work programs and coding

[wary summit]

i just saw sparks from my nuc what do i do

[alpine gale]

Unplug it and stop using it?

[wary summit]

nah she’ll be right

i pulled out the hdd plate and it made contact on the pcb

[patent violet]

Could've had the courtesy of using a cleaner method

It was my favorite hamster too

And I'm having to soak everything in bleach

Shit smells awful in here

[vapid smelt]

ugh time to make a cron job

[alpine gale]

Not really - I use both Dropbox and a NAS because redundancy and Dropbox is properly multi-platform unlike the others. I find having my data in more places at once reduces the chance I ever lose access to it, which is super important when I'm the one responsible for backing up everyone's important documents.

[wary summit]

[echo sluice]

[wary summit]

can you run a 5090 to an android

[nova ingot]

I have a NAS, and icloud for the family. I tried 3rd party photo syncing but it wasnt as reliable as icloud for multi device, but I run synology NAS for offline backups, and then JBOD to back up the NAS.

[vapid smelt]

can you run software on hardware?

[echo sluice]

yes

[alpine gale]

This is what I do too, albeit with a combination of Google photos and Synology photos for the family, and Dropbox as an additional 3rd backup location for my own devices.

[wary summit]

but my data got leaked on dropbox

[alpine gale]

Then avoid using it. I wasn't using Dropbox back when the 2012 leak happened, and the 2024 leak only affected Dropbox Sign users so I also wasn't affected. Unfortunately, no service is 100% secure.

[nova ingot]

I'm glad I got my folks a 4 bay.

[alpine gale]

Same. I'm definitely happy that I gave Synology my left kidney for a DS918+ back in 2018.

[nova ingot]

they're 60% of a 14 tb after 3 years.

plus I can always buy an expansion.

only 2 bays are used. but I might have to do a raid 1 of its all 4 bays.

[alpine gale]

Mhm. I think when it's time to replace this 4-bay, I'll likely upgrade to an 8bay / more powerful unit.

[nova ingot]

I am worried about tariffs eventually killing my expansion plans though

[wary summit]

whats the write speeds like

im getting roughly 23mbps

[nova ingot]

I was thinking about buying a ds 914+ or whatever 4 bay to put offsite in Las Vegas.

[wary summit]

what are american upload to download speed ratios like?

[nova ingot]

have a relative keep it in their place, and pay them $100 a year

depends.

[wary summit]

best i can get is like 50up

at 1gbps down

[nova ingot]

Wish it was higher for better remote gaming.

[vapid smelt]

@alpine gale he could fix warshipp

[wary summit]

hmm similar

what happend to warship anyways

[nova ingot]

My 'warship'

[wary summit]

if i leak my ip is it easy to get ddosed

[nova ingot]

Its NAT a problem.

[wary summit]

im pretty sure i have one port open...

[nova ingot]

Warship demands access to ports.

I hate ATT but if I could get fiber, I would deal with them

[wary summit]

i wish i could get fibre

[nova ingot]

How is ATT so bad that they had ads for other services on their billing page

[alpine gale]

1st Photo: Read speeds from the NAS to an NVMe disk using Windows File Explorer.
2nd Photo: Write speeds opposite direction. NAS has 2x 6TB disks + 2x 18TB disks.
(Writes are garbage because I have the NAS doing... "other" things at the moment.)
3rd Photo: Benchmark test of one of the 18TB photos whilst the NAS was in-use.

[wary summit]

i wonder if i just connected my phone to the pc it'll be quicker

[alpine gale]

All of these tests were done whilst the NAS was running 20+ docker containers, one of which is Netdata, another of which is Jellyfin (albeit without any clients streaming any media), Download station running, Synology Photos running, and a few other things. Performance could be better if I treated the NAS as just a NAS, but pffff where's the fun in that?

[wary summit]

i just have immich running :woe:

is it worth investing

[alpine gale]

Immich is one of the containers too, though I haven't really set it up yet. I need to play with it first.

[wary summit]

immich is great, haven't tried anything else because it shits itself with file perms

[wary summit]

lucky bastard

why is our upload so limited, australia ddosed deepseek like a gigaton and we only get 50up

[vapid smelt]

so you cant upload mean videos of your government officials

[wary summit]

wait when could we upload media to gen

[alpine gale]

Depends on your provider and location.

• Fiber is usually 1gbit or more down and symmetrical (or half-symmetrical) up. (depends on how the ISP decides to distribute their overall bandwidth in a given area.)
• Coax (DOCSIS) is usually anywhere from 200mbps - 2gbit down and either ~30 / 100 / 150 / 500mbps up. (depends on how the network is built where you live.)
• VDSL / Dial-up is dear god I hope they upgrade my area soon down and what the fuck is this upload in the year 2025 up. (again, depends on where you live.)

[wary summit]

we have COAX

like 99% everywhere and max is gigabit

[echo sluice]

we get 250/100 for like 30$ a month including tv thingamabob (cable i think it is)

[wary summit]

ADSL was all remooved for HFC

Hybrid Fiber Coax

[echo sluice]

my isp was bought by another dogshit company

like 2 days ago

[wary summit]

we also get the shittiest routers ever

[alpine gale]

Coax (DOCSIS) requires the plant (all the equipment between you and the hubsite) be upgraded from "mid-split" to "high-split" frequencies in order to open up more upload channels, which in turn results in more upload speeds. Old school Cable TV broadcasts occupy the frequencies required for this to happen, so until everyone in your area switches over to IPTV based Set Top Boxes for Cable TV... it's not gonna happen.

[echo sluice]

bro knows all this

[wary summit]

then why is our fiber to the premises still lmited to 50 up

[mortal drift]

elite ball knowledge

[wary summit]

we- got rid of cable tv pretty much

[echo sluice]

peak statement

[alpine gale]

Ahem. Do you actually have Fiber to a Fiber ONT inside your house? Or is it HFC as you noted....

[wary summit]

my dad's friend had FTTP, still 50 up

[viscid elm]

I love immich

[alpine gale]

Gotcha. In that case, it could be an ISP decision. Who knows. You'd have to ask your ISP.

[wary summit]

isp? no this is from the national broadband network

[alpine gale]

Does NBN provide internet? If yes, they are, by definition, an Internet Service Provider.

[wary summit]

no they are a "government contractor"

[alpine gale]

Sigh. someone help me out here? I'm not trying to be technical. Someone, somewhere, has made a decision to provide X speeds. If those speeds seem underwhelming for the technology used, perhaps ask whomever is responsible for providing the internet connection?

[wary summit]

The National Broadband Network (NBN) is Australia's national broadband network that provides internet access to homes and businesses. It's a major upgrade to Australia's telecommunications infrastructure.

[viscid elm]

So who is giving you Internet

[wary summit]

well, isp, but every ISP is limited to 50

[viscid elm]

No?

[wary summit]

unless youre a business

you have to go business to get over 50, and when you get business cost is just not worth it in any way shape or form

[alpine gale]

Only because I did consulting for a Cable ISP once in my lifetime. Really neat to learn about how different delivery technologies pipe internet into our homes. Extremely scary to learn how duct tapped together the North American Telephone network is. I'm talking... tin cans and strings that have been re-tied multiple times.

[wary summit]

lmao

[echo sluice]

probably like that everywhere around the world to be fair

[viscid elm]

There is no coexistence on the nbn HFC network

and that’s comparable to a business nbn plan

[grim belfry]

[wary summit]

i thought it was just upgrading each by 1 tier

[grim belfry]

2000/100 is the maximum AVC that will be order able for HFC

[wary summit]

like 100 goes to 250 and 250 to 500 so on

[grim belfry]

Yes, but multi gigabit speed tiers will also roll out

[grim belfry]

The 100/20 AVC will be increased to 500/50

when i was in china 5G-A was like 1.5 gigabit

I see alot of fan controls that have 5+ on them

[viscid elm]

like i said its up to power use

you can do 5+ fans from one header if they are all low power and not spinning fast

[viral aurora]

I got a splitter coming off an molex at the moment

[viscid elm]

molex can do like 50w

[viral aurora]

Which has 4 on it. But I feel they are probably spinning faster than they should and want to slow them down abit

[viscid elm]

are the fans PWM?

[viral aurora]

They are ARCTIC P12s

Amazon doesnt meantion PWM

so no pwm control for you

[wary summit]

do rgb dummy sticks affect performance

[lost crescent]

Up to my knowledge, nope

[viscid elm]

what

[plain gale]

technically yes, practically no

[twilit zealot]

can u elaborate im curious

[obsidian oracle]

it makes you think about the sticks while playing a game, making you lose focus

so it affects your performance

[obsidian oracle]

thats one bad dragon

is that classified documents on the wall

[crude vortex]

man y'all got such a cool life

[winged spire]

1:109.999% scale lmao

[fossil frost]

if they are fully dummy sticks, with no traces on them at all, other than the i2c lines that allow the rgb to be controlled.. then there will be absolutely no difference... but if it has a full set of traces. they can either positively or negatively affect performance. the "pins"/connectors you connect to inside a ram slot, act as antenna, and can cause interference with its neighbouring sockets, if those pins are connected to traces on a dummy DIMM, and are properly terminated, that interference will be mitigated and** CAN** positively improve performance. but if terminated incorrectly, it can make the signal interference worse

[obsidian oracle]

i dont think adding % to there helped it

[winged spire]

I think I printed ONE at 181% vs 181.8% from the original scale

[fossil frost]

that the lego model? or 3d printed?

[winged spire]

3d printed

I think ive got all the pieces other than the red lettering printed

just need to pick up my CA glue from the post office

[fossil frost]

you gonna do the launch tower too?

[winged spire]

ehhhh

we'll see lol

I think starship will be next

[fossil frost]

booo... not a full representation without the tower 😛

[winged spire]

I do have the model for the entire starship tower

which is considerably bigger than saturn V's

4tb ssd reconmendations? for x870

[fossil frost]

gaming?

[wary summit]

yep

also why onlt intell

[fossil frost]

then literally anything will be fine.. theres almost no difference between gen3 and gen5 nvme for gaming

[fossil frost]

will be terminated in a way that benefits intel cpus

[wary summit]

ugh

but will it work in amd mobo

[fossil frost]

it may do, it may not. "it depends" is the best answer you can get without just buying it and trying it

[twilit zealot]

oh damn, thanks

[wary summit]

would there be any way DDR5 6200 wouldn't work on AM5

[fossil frost]

depends on the individual cpu and the motherboard

[viscid elm]

well yeah

[obsidian oracle]

at most it will run on a slower mhz

doubt it would just not work

[wary summit]

uhh

[viscid elm]

well i suspect amd is good enough to me able to do 3100MHz

[obsidian oracle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1198727661783093318.webp?size=48&name=Necoarc_Stare

[viscid elm]

what?

amd can use xmp

[wary summit]

it only lists intel chipsets as compatible

[viscid elm]

amd still is

[wary summit]

but why 😭

[fossil frost]

whoever made that list is super lazy

[obsidian oracle]

ass covering

or that ig

[wary summit]

the dummy ram has 4 traces

[obsidian oracle]

rgb

[viscid elm]

powa

[fossil frost]

those are power, ground, and i2c

[viscid elm]

and yeah rgb

[obsidian oracle]

pcs dont have bluetooth power delivery for rgb yet 😔

[wary summit]

witn enough of a radio wave you can power anything

[fossil frost]

so those dummy sticks will make absolutely no difference to the performance of the other sticks, at all

[obsidian oracle]

thats what im saying

its just they didnt do yet

[wary summit]

so i can use it on AM5

[obsidian oracle]

sure

[wary summit]

or this ass covering is a bit tight

[fossil frost]

no reason why not

[wary summit]

might be just a tad be dangerous to hoomans

[obsidian oracle]

you can check other pages to see it having expo or whatever amd names their ram oc, im sure those will list

[wary summit]

this ass covering is crazy tho:

[obsidian oracle]

just heating their brain up, its oki :3

lol

filler kit sounds funny, like its silicone or smth

[fossil frost]

"only for intel" with those dummy sticks you shared a picture of means "we have only bothered to test these on intel motherboards... so we are saying they are only for intel, because we are too lazy to test on amd"

[wary summit]

fair enough

[fossil frost]

but thats a much longer PS to add

[wary summit]

https://v-color.net/products/manta-ddr5-xprism-rgb-dummy-kit?variant=42594035892391

[obsidian oracle]

hole filler

[wary summit]

idk bro

this says its important 😭

[obsidian oracle]

then dont buy it bruh lmfaoooo

its not that hard to go to another page

[wary summit]

but i don't get why it won't work its literally +- and like 2 pins

[obsidian oracle]

we explained it will

[wary summit]

there are no other options

[obsidian oracle]

then dont buy it

[wary summit]

i know, its just so -

[fossil frost]

i would almost guarantee that it will work on AMD boards, since DDR5 and DIMM is a set standard... and those 4 pins are SPI, not i2c (just looked it up), effectively the same thing as i2c done in a slightly different way, and different protocol... but it is still a standard way of a cpu and motherboard and software communicating with the ram, asking it for info, and giving it instructions

theres no such thing as AMD only ram, or intel only ram, so there would be no such thing as amd only RGB sticks, or intel only RGB sticks

[wary summit]

haha that sounds so funny

[fossil frost]

but, its your money, your computer, your choice.. either buy it, or dont

[wary summit]

someone create intel only rgb fans quickkk

those LEDs will use 1-2 watts, at most

if that

[wary summit]

oh the website has AMD EXPO specific ram

hmmm

am5 should be fine on 96gb, no amd memry controller strugglesright

[fossil frost]

it doesnt... it has AMD EXPO optimised ram... AMD prefers low latency, Intel prefers high mhz... that website has deeply misunderstood that, and are misleading their customers

[austere shale]

First it was fake ram now it’s fake frames, what has the world come to

[obsidian oracle]

can you not use that word

you somehow managed to use it on a worse place than tiktok kids

[fossil frost]

you dont understand what a bottleneck is if you used it like that

[obsidian oracle]

fake ram is been around for long time

[austere shale]

Fixed it

[wary summit]

i meant memory controller struggles

[wary summit]

cuz iirc amd mem controller dogshi

[fossil frost]

no, not at all

[obsidian oracle]

if it shows 96gb, it will work on 96gb

you dont have to worry about a random ass part on the cpu

[wary summit]

then why don't i just get 4x48

[austere shale]

I mean if you wanna get super technical my understanding is lower capacity sticks are technically faster but you’ll never actually notice any difference

[obsidian oracle]

why dont u?

[wary summit]

cuz dual chan better than 4 supposedly

[obsidian oracle]

faster, not neccessarily better for everyone

you not noticing = it doesnt matter

[fossil frost]

you can, if your motherboard is validated for it, and your particular CPU is validated for it... and even then, if they are not validated, they could still work... and that is only partly to do with the memory controller

[wary summit]

ahh got it

this build has been a bit hectic

[austere shale]

I can run 6000mhz in dual channel but if I wanna go quad channel I can only go 4800mhz, real world not that big of a difference but a difference no less

[wary summit]

first 5090 shortage, then needing to fill out the ram slots

[fossil frost]

AMD memory controllers are optimised for lower latency, rather than high mhz, because in general, lower latency is better for gaming, than high mhz... intel optimises for high mhz because people who are too stupid to understand how computers work just want big number because big number

[wary summit]

some random taiwan website telling me this fake ram is only for intel

[obsidian oracle]

why are you on a random taiwan website

[wary summit]

the v-color website

[austere shale]

If there’s a smaller PC store near you try to get on a wait list for a 5090

[austere shale]

That’s what I’m doing

[wary summit]

we have a total of less than 100 in australia iirc

and theyve all gone to system intergaters

[austere shale]

Unironically it would probably be faster and cheaper for you to fly to China or somewhere over there, buy one, then fly back

[fossil frost]

its almost like the 5090 isnt supposed to be a real product that real people guy, and is just there to be a halo product to make it easier for people to justify buying the 5080

[wary summit]

i tried,my fam in china tried

[obsidian oracle]

sleeping?

[austere shale]

On a wait list for a 5090

[rigid tartan]

5090s are just not common at all anywhere globally at the moment, so my suggestion is honestly just to put the cards out of your mind for a while. Come back in 6-12 months and maybe there'll be supply.

[obsidian oracle]

why not on a wait list for an e-bike, theyre much more fun

[wary summit]

i already got on its way

albiet in a prebuit

[obsidian oracle]

rip

[austere shale]

Why buy an e-bike when I already have a Honda grom

[rigid tartan]

'cause you could also have an e-bike and a Honda grom?

[obsidian oracle]

honda grom is bulky and big
comparatively

and its not offroad monster

and it doesnt have anywhere near as torque

[austere shale]

It’s like 150 pounds, and throw some knobby tires on it and it’ll take me anywhere

[obsidian oracle]

taking it anywhere and being an offroad monster aint same

one hauls ass other is ass

[austere shale]

One also has effectively unlimited range, just go get fuel

[wary summit]

is ddr5 corsair vengance good

cuz i remeber back in ddr4 days they had shit qc

[viscid elm]

still do

[obsidian oracle]

a 3-4k e-bike already has like 40+ miles of range atleast lol

if you go over 40 miles in a day with an e-bike, you need a car

dont torture ur butt on an e-bike

[wary summit]

yea also, i can't find "expo" profile 96gb 6000mhz for some reason

[obsidian oracle]

then get 64gb total

[austere shale]

If I’m riding one weekend 40 miles is “around town” for me

[wary summit]

64 aint enough

[viscid elm]

for what

[obsidian oracle]

get another battery, ezpz

[obsidian oracle]

tiktok scrolling

[wary summit]

gaming, AI

[austere shale]

Or .4 gallons of gas

[viscid elm]

gaming can be done on 16GB without too many issues

[obsidian oracle]

what game do u think uses 64gb ram and wants more?

[austere shale]

Minecraft

[wary summit]

good point but tripple digits fun

[obsidian oracle]

nope

[wary summit]

echo : :

[obsidian oracle]

96 isnt triple

[viscid elm]

how is 96GB triple?

[wary summit]

192 is

128 meh

[obsidian oracle]

have fun making 192 work on am5

[viscid elm]

then you will lose a lot of performance

[wary summit]

really?

hmmmmm

[viscid elm]

well yeah

4 sticks on am5 is big sad

[wary summit]

ok, ignoring the ram, https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/yBzvDj thoughs?

[obsidian oracle]

okay

[wary summit]

ps if you cant tell the theme is white

gonna paint the 5090

[fossil frost]

what AI? are you working on it?

[wary summit]

running LLM, other pc is doing other stuff

[fossil frost]

why running the LLM? to what end? work?

[wary summit]

nah for school

they blocked chatgpt

i was like just diy

[fossil frost]

probably for a reason

[wary summit]

its working okay on 6700XT

[fossil frost]

using AI as a crutch prevents you from learning properly for yourself, and you learn to be helpless without it

several studies have already proven that relying on AI makes you stupider

[wary summit]

its only for computing, which our teacher asked it to unblock chatgpt but they didn't

[viscid elm]

deepseek r1 or just use a vpn

[viscid elm]

if used wrong

[wary summit]

i am running R1 7b locally

vpns are blocked

[obsidian oracle]

hopefully u do it properly so u dont regret it

[fossil frost]

what i said still stands, you can justify your lazyness as much as you want, but you are still using a shortcut and not actually learning anything

[wary summit]

even ones for GFW of china

[obsidian oracle]

goodbyedpi

[viscid elm]

or just a vpn

like proton

[fossil frost]

i was about to follow up with "AI can be a good tool if used correctly, but right now, everyone is using it as a replacement for actually thinking for themselves"

[wary summit]

nah, tried proxy, other alt is php proxy but i've been trying to learn php

[obsidian oracle]

"blocked" appearently

[viscid elm]

not if its already downloaded

[wary summit]

it is blocked

[fossil frost]

learning PHP isnt hard, i learned it from tinkering, at 12

[wary summit]

so is nord

[viscid elm]

what happens when you try to use it NOT download but use it

[wary summit]

i've picked it up this week

[viscid elm]

my school is LOCKED when it comes to the internet but both tailscale and proton work and other vpns without any major issues

[fossil frost]

using an AI to write it for you, isnt learning PHP, its learning how to ask an AI to do it for you

[wary summit]

yes, i have my own personal laptop, NORD, Proton, Express, Mulvad, VLESS, Trojan all blocked

[viscid elm]

dam

[wary summit]

yea im never letting ai code for me

[viscid elm]

then what is the ai for

[wary summit]

to help otheer students and its basically become my project rn

[dapper mantle]

trashcan

[wary summit]

im trying to find llm alternative for notebooklm

[viscid elm]

to help otheer students?

[wary summit]

cuz im dumping 13gb of textbooks into it

[wary summit]

mostly my mates who need it, they have resorted to snapchat bot, its a sad scene

[obsidian oracle]

lol

[wary summit]

for essay writing

[obsidian oracle]

sanest student

[wary summit]

it is very very sad to watch

cuz its max 3b params

dumb as hell

[viscid elm]

let their brain develope

[dapper mantle]

essay written by ai will be easily distinguished from other work of theirs

[wary summit]

yea i know, they too lazy

hey, if the whole class does well, i get a better score

[viscid elm]

i tend to only use AI for theframe work of a text but then change most of it or build upon it since i have issues with wrinting

but AI doing EVERYTHING is just bad

and i ALWAYS need to change some of the stuff the LLM says

[wary summit]

i've used ai for setting up dns and stuff, maybe some reasearch im too lazy to jumpp between websites, but i always summarise info on my own

[fossil frost]

again, justify it however you want, its a crutch that is allowing you and your friends to learn how to only be able to do it with an AI doing it for you, and when you get into the workforce, you will find that it doesnt work that way

[wary summit]

cuz the ai isin't trained on our cirriculum, or at least dosen't answer using the framework of our cirrucium

[viscid elm]

its the 7b model

[wary summit]

thats why im trying to train my own

[viscid elm]

you do know how hard that is?

[fossil frost]

you dont understand what AI is, so you cant understand how to properly train your own

[wary summit]

yea i've realized so im not anymore

its like gazzlion kwhs

and alot of A100s or similar

[fossil frost]

thats the last step... there are about 50 steps before that

[wary summit]

scraping data

uhh i gave up before that setp

[fossil frost]

"scraping data" in its self, is about 10 steps

[dapper mantle]

plus optimalisation

[wary summit]

robots.txt got me

[fossil frost]

robots.txt can eat my ass when i scrape data 😄

[wary summit]

i don’t wanna be accused like deepseek

[fossil frost]

deepseek only stole the same info that openai already stole

[wary summit]

that’s what i’m saying

yet our government was ~20% of the ddos band with

[fossil frost]

it was fine for openai to train their model on stolen data, apparently... but when its china... nooo... not allowed to steal data if you are "foreign"

[wary summit]

💀

i’d rather trust my data with china than the western governments

australia has probably the worst data privacy laws

meta has been caught numerous times selling data and also advertising gambling to known kids

[fossil frost]

given chinas population... and the percentage of global population china makes up... technically everyone else is "foreign" to china... china and india together are roughly 1/4 of all the global population 😄

[wary summit]

‘caught’

[wary summit]

more like close to half

wait 3bn/8bn

[fossil frost]

no, its around 1/4

1 + 1.2, is roughly 1/4 of 8

[wary summit]

i thought it was 1.4 and 1.6

india is also 1.4 according to google

[obsidian oracle]

[wary summit]

i have school in 8 hours

[fossil frost]

1.4 + 1.4 = 2.8, 2.8 of roughly 8.2, is around 1/3 then 🙂

if we are using "todays" numbers 😄

[wary summit]

2 years ago afaik

[fossil frost]

i used worldometers.info which takes real data and trends along with that to give roughly accurate data for today

SpaceX is a private entity

[pallid falcon]

yes but they have gov contracts

[winged spire]

Do you know who gives them the contracts?

[pallid falcon]

Gov

[winged spire]

I don’t think you understand how that works

[fossil frost]

spacex is only gonna get more, and bigger, more inflated contracts

[winged spire]

It’s a good thing SpaceX is the most competent launch company in the world

[pallid falcon]

who i expect to get more:

SpaceX
Tesla

The Boring Company

[wary summit]

yea-

[winged spire]

No it’s not

[wary summit]

it was created this month? you sure that’s legit, looks shady as hell

[winged spire]

It’s real, like the other dozen DOGE accounts made yesterday

[wary summit]

what is this DOGE thing

[winged spire]

..

[fossil frost]

likely all with "Password1" as their password 😄

[wary summit]

i have like 1000 doge in my wallet will it go up

[winged spire]

You seen they left their database open

yep, most basic of basic errors, rushing to production

[wary summit]

wait tf does doge gotta do with the american government

[winged spire]

bozo

[fossil frost]

Department of Government Efficiency. the bellend who bought his way into government with trump, thinks hes funny, when hes actually just a bellend

[wary summit]

OHH ITS A SEPERATE

[winged spire]

DOGE (should actually be dge) is department of government efficiency

[wary summit]

imma try sql injecting red light cameras here

[wary summit]

thought it was doge coin

[winged spire]

DGE like how it works for every other government organization

[wary summit]

i was like nasa doge coin sounds like a pump

remember doge to the moon

(musk)

[winged spire]

It’s not FBOI, you don’t include the “of” in the acronym

[wary summit]

imma buy doge coin probably a good idea

[fossil frost]

also, its called "Department of Government Effeciency" because they couldnt find a fun acronym for "department of cultural and ethnic cleansing while also funnelling as much government money to elon musk as possible"

[winged spire]

I like rokit (:

[wary summit]

does it have a pudge on guiding it

[fossil frost]

tbh, if that didnt take so many rolls of filament to print, and didnt cost a lot of money to print, i would suggest sticking a hobby rocket motor in it and launching it, to see what happens 😄

[hallow void]

Hey chat quick question do I have to run my ram in dual channel?

[wary summit]

or make your own solid state rocket fuel

[winged spire]

I definitely could, maybe with some larger fins

[hallow void]

One of my dimm slots are broken

[winged spire]

It’s all the same composition

[fossil frost]

it runs better if you do

[winged spire]

APCP is effectively perfected technology now

[wary summit]

i did it with like gummy bears in primary school

[hallow void]

My dimm slot 2 is broken so I'm just running one stick of ram

[fossil frost]

you CAN run single channel, but its better if you run dual, but running single is also fine

[wary summit]

turned that gummy bear into dust and like can’t remember they took it off to a lab and came back with pvc pipes full of gummy bear dust

[hallow void]

Right so I can put the ram in slots 3 and 4?

[winged spire]

The APCP motors in the SLS rocket are basically the same composition as the stuff I use in my 4lbs fiberglass rocket

[winged spire]

PVC ?? No dude

Absolutely not 💀

PVC shatters into sharp fragments you literally made a fragmentation mine

[hallow void]

Idk how my dimm slot even broke I switched my CPU now one doesn't work

[winged spire]

PVC is just about the worst choice you can have for a motor casing

[fossil frost]

you can run 1+3, or 2+4, either will allow it to run in dual channel, 2+4 will be slightly less efficient than 1+3, but will still be dual channel, and loads better than single channel... 1+2 or 3+4, or 1, or 2, or 3, or 4 on their own will be single channel

[winged spire]

Crazy “idiot online does something dumb and dangerous” is not a good source for its danger

[fossil frost]

CPU likely isnt seated properly, or you bent a pin

[hallow void]

Perfect thanks for the clarity 🙂

[wary summit]

well my school might be in trouble

[hallow void]

I mean there was a little thermal paste residue in the socket but I'm sure I cleaned it out

[wary summit]

should* if pvc is that dangerous

[hallow void]

The pc still runs though

[winged spire]

They definitely should be in trouble

It’s horribly dangerous

[wary summit]

a teacher also got fired for ranting on skin coloured pencils and comparing to a student

[fossil frost]

either its conductive, and causing a short... or its not conductive, and blocking a connection... or... you bent a pin cleaning it

[wary summit]

hmm 🤨

i wanna try water butane rockets

and experience aqutaticscp

[fossil frost]

air-water bottle rockets are fun 😄 especially if you have a proper industrial air compressor

[hallow void]

Just switched to the 5700x3d to give my am4 socket a little more life now I've messed it up 😂

[wary summit]

does your bios support it

[fossil frost]

either, leave it and live with it, or, pull the cpu back out and check you didnt leave anything in there and didnt bend anything

[hallow void]

I think I'll leave it honestly I'll just stick the ram in slots 3 and 4 too much hassle for me to take everytjing apart

Somehow it took me 30m to re install my CPU cooler

[wary summit]

did u update bios before 5700X3D

[hallow void]

Yeah

[fossil frost]

if it boots at all, the bios is fine

[hallow void]

Yeah first time it booted with both sticks recognized then I turned it off the cable manage and somehow it doesn't register anymore

[fossil frost]

so it did recognise both, and without touching the cpu, now it doesnt?

[hallow void]

Yep

[fossil frost]

take your ram out and put it back in again, make sure it locks into place

[austere shale]

This is so intellectually dishonest it hurts

[hallow void]

I think I've reseated the ram about 10 different times 😂

[fossil frost]

what hurts me is that people still think its a genius, and not a very successful con man

[wary summit]

bro why does my back hurt so much

[hallow void]

People need to move away from orange man and special needs man bad and start thinking “well if they’re saving all this money how about free healthcare” that’s a much more productive argument to have rather than just seething

[wary summit]

wasn’t it revealed they sent 250bn to israel or sum

[fossil frost]

theres a report that came out yesterday that has shown that so far, DOGE has cost more money than its saved.. its cost several million dollars... and saved fuck all

[plain gale]

technically longer traces = higher latency, aswell as worse heat dissipation of the sticks. in practice it makes little to no difference

[winged spire]

It’s a shame he’s still attached to his companies

SpaceX is by far the most successful, and overwhelmingly best launch company in history

Tesla cars are (usually) very solid vehicles

He definitely should be ousted from both

[wary summit]

they caught a rocket with chopsticks

the chinese haven’t done that yet i’m impressed 😂

[fossil frost]

massive recalls, for practically all their cars, globally... would suggest otherwise

[winged spire]

Almost all of the recalls are software related

[wary summit]

yea mostly about danger to other road users tho

[winged spire]

Like having the not correct NTSB logo

[fossil frost]

and bolts missing from the brakes, or the accelerator, or shims missing that stop the accelerator locking up in the full gas position

[austere shale]

I mean going off their own numbers it’s 48.4 billion dollars they’ve put to better causes

[wary summit]

i love cutting in front of teslas they always give way 😍🥰

[fossil frost]

and for a car that is effectively fly by wire, its software is very very critical

[winged spire]

This message makes me think you don’t know what a recall is

[fossil frost]

my car recently had a recall notice issued because the brake hoses flexed too much, ford replaced them with different ones... a recall is exactly that, someone found a problem, the vehicle manufacturer fixes the issues

a recall is done when the recall is cheaper than not doing a recall

[wary summit]

oh that’s why my parents fiat freemont caught fire we didn’t do the recall soon

[winged spire]

I’ve got a 2021 model 3 and its only recall is that sometimes the fronk could think it’s open when it’s really closed

It was fixed over the air like 3 days later

[rigid tartan]

Or the Cybertruck needing a rivet to keep the accelerator from disassembling itself and trying to go full throttle all the time

[winged spire]

Thinking it’s open isn’t a safety issue

[bitter harbor]

Or when the Government forces a recall because of a severe safety reason. cough cough NZXT H1

[winged spire]

The cybertruck was Elon’s car

The rest of the fleet is generally gine

[wary summit]

S3XY

CybertruckAtvSemi

[celest tangle]

All we need is models C, A, and R

[wary summit]

Roadster

[celest tangle]

Wait cybertruck...

[austere shale]

Not safety but when Volkswagen cheat emissions

[fossil frost]

BMW's with timing chains, BMW cheeped out on the chains and used chains that weigh about 3kg.... and those chains are snapping, smashing the cylinder head, smashing the valves, smashing the pistons... completely destroying the engine... requiring a new engine... BMW should have done a recall, but they opted not to do so, because its cheaper to have their customers buy a new engine, than it is for BMW to replace those chains with the new chains that weigh over 10kg

[wary summit]

[austere shale]

Good ol dieselgate

[hallow void]

You think it's fine to air spray can my CPU socket to get any debris out

[wary summit]

hahaha that had me laughing when i saw my mates 14900k

[wary summit]

yea better than physically touching it imo

just don’t get it wet

[celest tangle]

For am4 or pga but lga you would want less pressue i would think

[hallow void]

Alr

[wary summit]

don’t tip the can

keep it as upright as possible

[hallow void]

Yeah I'm on am4

[rigid tartan]

These kinds of questions get me wondering what you did to get debris in. But regardless, you need to be careful with the air pressure and straw positioning to make sure you don't bend any pins.

[hallow void]

Thermals paste

[rigid tartan]

uh... is it non-conductive thermal paste?

[wary summit]

i don’t think thermal paste is the issue here

[celest tangle]

I use a battery powered ryobi aircompressor and i set the air pressue super low for stuff like that just in case.

[hallow void]

No idea

Hopefully not

[rigid tartan]

what kind of paste is it? Does it have a label you can read off?

[hallow void]

It's a massive tube of thermal paste I got from a random store

[wary summit]

mryester has shown thermal paste doesn’t really affect connections on Lga

[rigid tartan]

Does the tube have a brand on it anywhere? Because if it's non-conductive - and you could search the brand & name of the thermal compound to find the documentation from their website that says whether it is or not - it should be fine to just... leave it.

Y'all I'm gonna lose my mind with Google messages. I got a prepaid SIM for it and I'm trying to use the messages app with the number on said sim, but the app is forcing me to sign in and pair with my phone

I'm gonna fucking lose it

[obsidian oracle]

oh hi pine

[orchid wagon]

Hi

[hallow void]

I've just found it and yes it's non conductive

Means I don't have to reseat the CPU right

What is a good program for monitoring computer performance, temps, etc

[wary summit]

hwidinfo

[obsidian oracle]

what does id do there

[smoky badge]

Lmao

[hallow void]

Should I upgrade from a 3060 to a 3070ti

[obsidian oracle]

go to techpowerup and check the performance difference, and decide yourself

how accurate is userbenchmark for gpus? ive heard mixed things about it

[bitter harbor]

Ignore it

There are much better sources

[mighty cave]

I have a rtx 3060ti fe how much can I sell it for

[obsidian oracle]

we're not google

check the prices around you and make your price on your own

[fossil frost]

however much someone is willing to pay for it... do your own research on that

[obsidian oracle]

ong

[rigid tartan]

$69

[obsidian oracle]

just dont use it dude, theres so many other options

u shouldnt even think of ub

[mighty cave]

really? I thought it was accurate?

[obsidian oracle]

its not

[bitter harbor]

I’d buy a 3060ti for $69

[winged spire]

My hands are cold

[mighty cave]

ima sell it for 100

[obsidian oracle]

i dont see a reason for them to do proper gpu reviews when their cpu reviews are shit

[past geyser]

$72 take it or leave it

[winged spire]

I blame @obsidian oracle

[fossil frost]

its heavily biased

[obsidian oracle]

i blame u for not using your own ass to heat your hands

[mighty cave]

to what?

[fossil frost]

against AMD

[mighty cave]

that makes sense

[rigid tartan]

Genuinely, check eBay and figure out what people are actually buying them for so you don't screw yourself

[mighty cave]

i was laughing at the 9800x3d review

[mighty cave]

nah someone else can enjoy it 100 on ebay

[winged spire]

Fuck my CA glue ain’t getting here today

It’s a sad day

[rigid tartan]

oof

[fossil frost]

you can buy CA, or superglue, from literally anywhere

[winged spire]

Need large quantities of super thin CA glue

[echo sluice]

anyone bought resistors, electric components etc from ali?

[winged spire]

This is 8oz in that shipment

[winged spire]

They work fine

[rigid tartan]

OK, Home Depot has a lot of bottles of small quantities of super glue. Just buy out their shelf.

[echo sluice]

[winged spire]

Get a kit of resistors @echo sluice

[fossil frost]

or you can get a small amount from the shop to start you with tonight, and then when the big bottle comes tomorrow, continue with that

[echo sluice]

maybe i will cus we're using them in school in practical work class

on breadboards

[obsidian oracle]

and eat em

[fossil frost]

yeah, its the same stuff thats on ebay or amazon or anywhere else

[echo sluice]

[harsh quartz]

Don’t wanna

[echo sluice]

ya what about multimeters or should I just buy that locally

[harsh quartz]

Love me some Klein tools from Lowe’s/Home Depot

[winged spire]

@echo sluice

[fossil frost]

i bought an expensive one, and a cheap one, and cross-calibrated them, and the cheapo one was just as good as the expensive one, so i sent the expensive one back 😄

[rigid tartan]

The odds are pretty good that if you can source it locally it's going to be a similar price to online. And also you'll have it in hand

[echo sluice]

😋

[mighty cave]

What do I upgrade first, my cpu or gpu, I have i5 12th gen and rtx 3060ti, I wanna go to 9800x3d and 5080 so idk which first

[echo sluice]

true

[harsh quartz]

Yes, there is one

[fossil frost]

whatever you want, its your money, the opinions of internet strangers means nothing

[winged spire]

Not super glue

[echo sluice]

yeah i just need something basic we're just measuring current on resistors in parallel rn

[winged spire]

CA glue, super glue is CA and a activator

[mighty cave]

will i5 12th gen bottleneck 5080

[harsh quartz]

Did the cheap one have as many test functions?

[fossil frost]

you dont know what a bottleneck is if you are asking that

[mighty cave]

yeah I dont

[fossil frost]

yes

[echo sluice]

damn doesn't ship here lol

[fossil frost]

the real question you need to ask yourself is, which one is holding you back, which one is preventing you from doing what it is you are trying to do

[winged spire]

I’m sure you can fine what you need on Ali

They’ve got everything

[echo sluice]

yeah most products aren't shipped to bosnia but surely theres someone who does so i'll look into it

[winged spire]

Bosnia lol

Hmm

[echo sluice]

Lmao wtf

300pcs and 600pcs

[rigid tartan]

Either cheap and 2+ months or expensive and 2 weeks, take your pick

[fossil frost]

pricing structure on ali express can sometimes be Rand() * 100 😄

[echo sluice]

[rigid tartan]

Living outside the US is terrible for getting random stuff shipped in

[fossil frost]

living inside the US is terrible for all sorts of other reasons

[rigid tartan]

don't have to tell me, I've lived the worst of both worlds xD

Had stuff get lost when I tried to order it to my apartment in Taiwan at one point, but I am a passport-carrying American citizen and that arrangement to outside the US was only temporary

[echo sluice]

every time I go to that class there are less and less multimeters that work

[winged spire]

I’m glad the China tarrifs won’t effect my 6 20cm bread plushies

[rigid tartan]

At some point there will only be one left, and it will be called the Unimeter

because it is no longer one of multiple

[echo sluice]

Lmfao

26$

[winged spire]

I just borrow one from the electronics lab when I need a good multimeter

I’ve got a dogshit meter for my battery packs that I make

[fossil frost]

does ebay exist where you are?

[echo sluice]

nope

[winged spire]

Literal 5$ multimeter

[echo sluice]

we have a local marketplace tho

shipping is also like 6€ here Lmao

[fossil frost]

that sucks, you usually get the same stuff as on aliexpress, but it turns up slightly faster

Part

[harsh quartz]

Vewy intewesting, with the ones I’ve seen usually the cheaper ones just have lower volt ranges or less overall functionality, but work just as well

[winged spire]

The one I got is literally just for testing battery voltages

Works well for what I use it for

When I need one for something else .. we’ve got no shortage of industrial grade ones

[fossil frost]

it even has the transistor/mosfet tester too, and a bunch of other bits that you wouldnt expect on a £8 tester

[echo sluice]

resistors from temu

ok theres people selling the same shit from ali
