i got fucked in physics

but im happy its over :D

[rigid tartan]

Physics is never over. It just slowed down enough you stopped noticing.

[crude vortex]

i mean my exam

😭i still got my bachelors left

[violet gate]

Physics is just a social construct

Everything is e-waste if you put a battery in it

[main breach]

Lol at 9.34 when Linus says Siri it actives my Siri 💀

[turbid oriole]

Not necessarily, cause you can replace it. The battery itself becomes e-waste, the device doesn’t

[pseudo sand]

hello!

hi reira!

ow it hurts to yawn

[turbid oriole]

Lockjaw?

[pseudo sand]

no its like in the “Mucous membrane” according to translte, (the skin in your mouth) under my tongue

Its like a really uncomfortable pain

[violet gate]

Think about it. You put a battery in a half eaten burrito. Bam, e-waste

it's a real problem

[turbid oriole]

Ohh, my jaw just hurts when I open it too much and it like hurts to move for a few secs

[turbid oriole]

Nah, that just spices it up

[pseudo sand]

oh damn, might wanna see the dentist, they can sometimes help w/ that

[turbid oriole]

A pair of braces costs 3K here. I’m not looking forward to the possible costs of a jaw surgery

[violet gate]

Lithium batteries for that nice relaxing effect

[pseudo sand]

holy fuck, is that in the US?

[violet gate]

It's still crazy to me that Lithium is both a legitimate medicine, and can be used for batteries

science is cool

[pseudo sand]

here theyre covered by insurance

exactly

cuz its just under nornal health insurance, no extra insurance

oh my god - i saw a video about someone having triplets in the US, they had to go to the IC, and they were in the hostpital for a few days, their price was above 7 million

but at that point they said the government steps in and pays it outta pocket

[violet gate]

well, someone is paying for it

[pseudo sand]

were talking about the person getting the braces.

That

[violet gate]

I mean either the person paying the insurance plan, or everyone via taxes if it's a state subsidized program

[pseudo sand]

The braces are more expensive than the insurance

[idle hornet]

hai

[turbid oriole]

European Union

Goverment ones cost almost 500€ but they take about half a year to a year to give you an appointment

[pseudo sand]

really? Do you have insurance?

[violet gate]

insurance is a scam imo

[pseudo sand]

youve clearly never had insurance and we can tell

[violet gate]

I got pretty good insurance, but it's a total scam

[turbid oriole]

I have social insurance

Hungary. The UK isn’t a part of the EU anymore

[violet gate]

Ye that shit should be government funded via taxes. The insurance system is set up to take advantage of sick people

[turbid oriole]

The cost also goes up tho

[violet gate]

you lost me bro

[pseudo sand]

my dad broke his hip, was in the hospital for a week or somethign, had to get surgery. Then he got covid, and was in the hospital for 3 weeks or more, with like 3 trips to the hospital. He was on IC for 1 and a half weeks.

im pretty sure its useful.

[violet gate]

Where do you live?

Yeah it's way different in America. We pay for a broken healthcare system that covers basically nothing. I'm just talking about the portion of tax that covers healthcare. not tax overall

[violet gate]

Ye I didn't say it's not useful when you need it. The way it's set up tho totally takes advantage of sick people in the US and they have you over a barrel.

[turbid oriole]

The thing is, health insurance is the reason why that stuff costs so much. Hospitals are almost a non profit, or at least have small margains, but since insurance agencies want some sort of percentage or amount off off the price of operations, medicine, they jack up the price so they can sell it to you at a regular price with insurance

[violet gate]

In countries with price control and other protections it's less than half the price

[pseudo sand]

yeah i dont know how it goes in the US. Is the price per month high, or is it split up in like 100 things?

[turbid oriole]

And then also comes the issue of insurance companies denying random shi cause they don’t have a contract for certain medicine, etc with hospitals

[turbid oriole]

And in Hungary, you pay for everything or wait two years to be seen by a doctor

One of my family members had to buy a scalpel for a surgery once lmao

[violet gate]

well there's definitely a happy medium

lol

brb, abandoning my family

It would be cool to check out Europe, but having two kids makes it hard to just up and move around

[pseudo sand]

i wanna order my pc

or well the parts for it

lmao close enough

[wary summit]

can overvolting a iGPU kill it (asking for a friend)

[violet gate]

😦

[wary summit]

fuck yes

software based overvolting tho

time to kill this UHD4000 for fun

fuck

[mint yacht]

That won't just kill the iGPU

[wary summit]

yay

i have a fire extinguisher on hand. 2 actually

she’ll be right

[mint yacht]

You're going to be sorely disappointed

[wary summit]

no i’m more concerned about the Psu

not the cpu or vrm catching fire

[mint yacht]

Even putting 3.3V into silicon designed to take around 1V won't do much
You get a blackscreen that's about it

[wary summit]

the psu is an unbranded grey brick

[mint yacht]

Neither would do that, and the PSU would likely either trip OCP or the powerbar trips, or the breaker trips

[rigid tartan]

Brand might be on the other side

[wary summit]

nah

[mint yacht]

Like overvolting is such a nothingburger of a component death lol

[wary summit]

well, it has a brand

[mint yacht]

Believe me, I've sent 19V into a CPU before
Nothing of note happened lmao

[wary summit]

wait these specs lowkey good

i’ll use my Besta 500w instead

[mint yacht]

It has a -12V rail that's how you know it's fucking old

[rigid tartan]

That’s only like 200W on the 12V

[wary summit]

yep

what’s the universal cord called?

for the psu

it has both male and female of that port lmao

[abstract nimbus]

Nvidia is due for an explanation atp lmao

[wary summit]

w specs (c12) or sum

C13

it has C13 in and out

well i’m assuming both are in

but its male and female

wait i could get a C13 extension cord and hook up a second psu 💀

you think the short circuit protection gonna work or nah?

[tame notch]

hello

[mint yacht]

Huh?

[wise tundra]

That's so you can daisy chain them

[wise tundra]

Yeah the other is actually out, so you can have two power supplies in parallel if just one isn't powerful enough

[wary summit]

damn

ok hypothetically, how do i kill a iGPU of a modern laptop?

[wise tundra]

Oh wait shit that's not it's actually intent

[wary summit]

😭

this PSU is ancient

[wise tundra]

I mean it's still ATX

[wary summit]

you think it could power a 5090?

actually probably

[wise tundra]

Nah

[wary summit]

alone

[wise tundra]

Doesn't the 5090 need like 50 amps?

[wary summit]

ya

[wispy marsh]

What

[wary summit]

this has 38

[wise tundra]

Nope

17

[wary summit]

is that not what the 3.3v-

oh wait

yea 3.3v kekw

power a led

[wise tundra]

I mean many ICs use 3.3V

Very important voltage on a motherboard

[wary summit]

i could power an ardurino maybe

[wise tundra]

A bit overkill don't ya think?

[wary summit]

nahh

[wise tundra]

You'd need 3 of these to power a 5090

[wise tundra]

+5V can provide 38A it seems, why not use it to power a Raspberry Pi farm

[violet gate]

Do y'all like Chess?

[wise tundra]

No

[wary summit]

cuz i’m using google home mini powe bricks to power my raspberry pi farm

and they’re probably more efficient

[wise tundra]

How many Raspberry Pis?

[wary summit]

5

[wise tundra]

Wtf how many amps does the brick output?

[violet gate]

I think it's pretty neat

[wary summit]

my 6700XT has been running on 450w evga bv

[wary summit]

oh no it’s 5 different bricks

[wise tundra]

Ohhhh that explains

[wary summit]

[wise tundra]

But isn't that itself inefficient cause you're doing the same voltage conversation multiple times?

[wary summit]

but this psu don’t even have 80 rating

[wise tundra]

Fair enough

[wary summit]

lemme check the bricks

ima sell my pi’s

[wise tundra]

Why?

[wary summit]

3b dookie

[wise tundra]

Ah

[wary summit]

no use anymore

[wise tundra]

Get into programming and use them as distcc servers

[wary summit]

it’s like what 15 gigaflops per pi

i’m using them for exo cluster

slow as fuck

[wise tundra]

Distcc offloads compiling to other machines over the internet

[wary summit]

only have 300mbps ethernet

my wifi is 2.7gbps

[wise tundra]

That doesn't matter

When they're connected to the same local network, they have full gigabit between each other

That's the important part

[wary summit]

how

[wise tundra]

Cause same switch

[wary summit]

How would they have gigabit if the port is only 300

[wise tundra]

The port is?

What

[wary summit]

300

iirc

[wise tundra]

Such a speed standard doesn't exist

[wary summit]

🤷‍♂️

[wise tundra]

It goes 10/100/1000/2500/5000/10000

[wary summit]

ik

[wise tundra]

Ohhhh so it's a USB thing

Even tho it's technically Gigabit, it can't achieve that

[wary summit]

yep

[wise tundra]

Well distcc doesn't need good internet

It sends only extremely small files over Ethernet

[wary summit]

we love cable management 🗣️

[wise tundra]

I'm having stroke seeing this

[wary summit]

nah

[wise tundra]

Are those power splitters?

[wary summit]

wats a power spliittter again

[wise tundra]

You can connect multiple devices to a single outlet

[wary summit]

i’m pretty sure they’re called “power strips”

these ones at least

[wary summit]

yea

[wise tundra]

It's a strip if it's a long one

[wary summit]

well, it has 3 on the cubes

i put a cube on a cube for more ports

[wise tundra]

This would be a power strip

[wise tundra]

Oh god it's horrific

[wary summit]

yea ikwym

these are higher quality than those

67w usb c

but yea 🤷‍♂️

anyways, how would i go about killing a iGPU of a modern laptop

or gpu and cpu

[wise tundra]

[torpid zenith]

will there be a 5060?

[hot tartan]

Probably

[bitter harbor]

There may be a 5050. Id give the probability of that happening a 50/50 chance

[rigid tartan]

I really hope AMD is moving over to the 9070 XT format to leave space in the market for Nvidia to launch the RTX 6900 next generation.

[bitter harbor]

RTX 6900 vs RX6900XT.
Winner: RX6900XT due to an additional X

[neon acorn]

it better have at least 8gb of vram pls nvidia

[neon acorn]

12 would be nice tho - but realistically never gonna happen

[bitter harbor]

50/50 chance that happens

[lyric sphinx]

If Nvidia doesn't have an rtx 69420 edition then what is even the point

[bitter harbor]

If they do that. I’m calling it right now that it will be the highest selling card ever.

[coarse cypress]

leave a bad comment

[obtuse briar]

Why, they are correct?

[coarse cypress]

ive never head of a 1650, im not that experienced with pc stuff

[coarse cypress]

i know like 2 people with a pc irl, none are girls so i have nothing to compare it to

[obtuse briar]

Nvidia gtx 1650

Its a mid card from some years back

Ill dm you an image for context

Mine is a ventus, its different than the video

[coarse cypress]

oh ok

[tender creek]

can anyone else not buy games on steam?

[oak pier]

that is something you google by going to "downdetector"

[fossil frost]

tbh, they arent wrong

[random pebble]

it's pronounced "rtx 50 series can't play 20 year old physx games"

[random pebble]

on Amazon.it the 5090 costs € 6k

[fossil frost]

windows 10 doesnt run old 16bit games... win12 wont support 32bit at all... support gets dropped all the time, some companies do it sooner than others

[random pebble]

an euro is a little more than a dollar

[random pebble]

this is not an excuse

[stone wedge]

You can run 16bit on windows 10, but it has to be 1809 or older to fully work

There are some hacky work arounds to get it on the latest versions... but I don't recommend it

[fossil frost]

im not making excuses, im providing an explanation that choosing to drop support, is entirely up to a company.. buying from that company is your choice to make

[random pebble]

I can't believe the crocodile jacket freak did this to us

these damn billionaires

Trump should buy Nvidia and open source all their chip designs

[fossil frost]

start your own gpu company if you dont like how the existing ones are run

[random pebble]

dude stop defending the multi billion dollar company, you're being ridiculous

these people don't give a damn about you

this is like defending Nintendo or Apple

[fossil frost]

where did i defend them?

[random pebble]

looked like you inferred it

[fossil frost]

explain to me how i defended nvidia, at all, explicitly, or inferred

[random pebble]

don't know, forget it

[fossil frost]

you cant, because i didnt... i was explaining simple facts... i can point out that you dont understand what you are saying, while also not defending nvidia, or anyone else... you can be wrong, and they can be wrong, at the same time... if anything... i told you to do something that would hurt them... as in... not buy from them, and start your own gpu company

[random pebble]

dude why are you spamming suspension points

[whole swallow]

another fine day in public chat

[fossil frost]

one of those things i told you to do, is very easy and very realistic, the other is the logical extreme of the argument, but still valid, since all you are doing is crying about something in discord, something you clearly do not understand

[random pebble]

hey no need to get mad

[fossil frost]

where did i get mad? how have i at all shown emotion, through emotionless text on discord?

[random pebble]

dude come on

this is some sheldon like behaviour

are you serious

[fossil frost]

what do you mean? what are you inferring about me?

[rare otter]

Welcome to a tech discord channel

[fossil frost]

is this on that heavily modded version of windows? that any anti-cheat software will pick up as modified, and potential cheating?

[rare otter]

It's stock windows

[fossil frost]

ah ok, i assumed it was on that lite version.. or was that not you the other day?

[rare otter]

I un-installed atlas because it wasn't working properly on my thinkpad

[rare otter]

Also to see if you were on to something about it being my atlas install fucking fortnite up

And honestly
I don't know why but performance on this thinkpad is better on stock windows than atlas

Usually it's the other way around

[fossil frost]

something really odd going on if its still not happy with fully stock windows

[rare otter]

Yeah

I know it's capable of running fortnite

Gtx 950m
7th gen core i7
And 8 gigs of ram.

Don't get me wrong those specs definitely aren't great

But I know that it can run

But it won't

[fossil frost]

i7 7700 i know for a fact can run fortnite, because thats what my son runs it on

[rare otter]

Yeah

Idk what to do if ima be honest

[fossil frost]

do you have core memory isolation turned on in windows?

ive had issues with that being ON and anticheat not being happy about it in the past

[rare otter]

Nope

[fossil frost]

meh.. not that then 😄

[rare otter]

Any other ideas?

[fossil frost]

you using all first party drivers? no modded drivers? no dodgy 3rd party drivers?

[rare otter]

I'm using just nvidia drivers

[fossil frost]

other than going to epic on their support forums and posting your game launch logs, and anything else they ask of you, im out of ideas

[woven flower]

In case anyone wants a free 92mm cpu cooler fan hack, AliExpress sells these Jonsbo cooler fans that are labled aRGB, but they’re actually RGB. I took a picture of the fan and they immediately refunded. (You’re saving $5)

[fossil frost]

so, you are telling people how to commit fraud?

[woven flower]

In minecraft

Also it’s their fault for selling the wrong product

[rare otter]

I might have fixed it

Lemme see

[sage quiver]

Knowingly taking advantage is still fraud

[woven flower]

🥊

[coarse cypress]

well obviously we dont know 🤷‍♂️

[blissful heron]

uhhh what the sigma

[winged spire]

Based

[rare otter]

I enabled easy anti cheat and fortnite through my firewall but it keeps going back to the epic games launcher

I wanna bang my head aggainst a brick wall

[coarse cypress]

because you play fortnite?

also you cant play it without anticheat obv

dont clown emoji me, you are a clown for playing that cash grab bad game

[fossil frost]

people can paly whatever they want, its up to them, not you

[rare otter]

It's not for me. It's meant for my little brother

[coarse cypress]

ohh

[rare otter]

He's 8 years old and I wanna teach him how to play fortnite on pc

[coarse cypress]

never said they couldnt play it

why?

[rare otter]

And now I feel like I wasted my money cause the 1 game we like playing together is one that won't run on the labtop I bought him even though it's exceeds the minimum requirements

[coarse cypress]

what game

[rare otter]

Fortnite

[coarse cypress]

fortnite is free

[hot tartan]

What settings?

[fossil frost]

wont launch at all, they havnt got to that bit yet

[coarse cypress]

try reinstalling

[fossil frost]

try reading

[hot tartan]

Got it, thanks

[coarse cypress]

?

some files might be corrupted and prevent launch

[fossil frost]

this is a long running conversation, we are well beyond that

[coarse cypress]

i just got here

[coarse cypress]

did you enable anti cheat?

[fossil frost]

there is no "enable it", it runs its self when you launch the game, and its crashing

[coarse cypress]

they said they disabled it, try reading

[lyric sphinx]

Stop cheating then

[rare otter]

I'm not cheating

[coarse cypress]

they said they tried to enable it

[fossil frost]

no they didnt, they said they enabled anti-cheat to be allowed through the firewall

[coarse cypress]

try epic games support?

[fossil frost]

already referred them to the epic support forum, since they will know what logs to ask for and how to diagnose what is going on

[coarse cypress]

then wait for a reply

[rare otter]

Hasn't helped me

[winged spire]

Does anyone know of a place I’d be able to rent cameras from?

[fossil frost]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgamingtechsupport/comments/jr41dj/comment/gpe3tjr/

[coarse cypress]

tell epic that

[rare otter]

And I don't get that error message anymore now that I enabled it through the firewall

[coarse cypress]

so its fine now?

[rare otter]

Now it just goes back to the epic launcher

So it might be even worse

[coarse cypress]

go to epic games support

[rare otter]

There's no tab for my issue

[coarse cypress]

?

go to epic games support, not like their forums or anything

i never found forums useful for any company

actually contact them

[rare otter]

I'm on epic games support

It's all shit that has to do with account issues

[coarse cypress]

then actually contact them, dont go to old posts or reddit or anything

[rare otter]

Wait a minute

[coarse cypress]

reddit is kinda shit anyway

[coarse cypress]

wtf is this??

is that subzero?
when did midas become a furry?

[rare otter]

Fortnite is known for their crossovers

[coarse cypress]

sadly

[rare otter]

Ngl though the og mode is what I usually play

The og mode is pretty good

[coarse cypress]

ive not played in like 4 years

what season is it on now?

[rare otter]

I don't even know at this point

[coarse cypress]

last time i played was like chapter 2 season 4 or season 5

[rare otter]

You remember chapter 1?

[lyric sphinx]

Just don't play fortnite

[coarse cypress]

yes

[rare otter]

They added back the og stuff from when it was good

[lyric sphinx]

Play any other game it's better

[rare otter]

So fortnite is kind of good again

[coarse cypress]

but now its surrounded by kids that never played real og

[rare otter]

Don't think a thinkpad e570 would be able to handle that

[lyric sphinx]

Do you not have pinball

[rare otter]

Actually.....
I've ran into quite alot of og players

[coarse cypress]

i dont like online shooters really, and def not on controller.
and i dont have anything powerful enough to run them for kb&m

[rare otter]

Who have got me more fucked up than a person ar a diddy party

[coarse cypress]

...

[lyric sphinx]

I remember og pub g with hackers from China

Those were the days just going ham and running people over

[strange iris]

[coarse cypress]

i never liked fortnite really

[lyric sphinx]

Probably because you are not 11 years old

[coarse cypress]

i didnt like it even when i was

that was like OG chapter 1 aswell

[strange iris]

Didn't touch fortnite valo pubg or any of those games. Story mode games ftw 😌

[coarse cypress]

i only touched halo for story mode

jesus its been a long time since then

[rare otter]

Fortnite is taking so long to load

I really hope it's not froze

[coarse cypress]

teach the 8 year old minecraft or something, something that wont harm the little guy too much

[strange iris]

Did he get an itx in the end

[coarse cypress]

minecraft is still popular right?

[fair otter]

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK XLITE HI

[sudden drift]

noo I accidentally upgraded windows and now everything is taking forever to open

[coarse cypress]

how did you accidentally upgrade

[sudden drift]

clicked the wrong button in the notification window

[coarse cypress]

you could have cancelled it

[sudden drift]

Not when you click restart now you can't

[coarse cypress]

unplug pc

[sudden drift]

lol k

[coarse cypress]

wdym lol?

[sudden drift]

It's already queued when the pc starts again

[coarse cypress]

i did it and it worked

[rare otter]

I'm relaunching fortnite

[rare otter]

Fuckkkk

[fossil frost]

did you run sfc /scannow ?

[rare otter]

Just did

Thus p4ocess will take some tiem

Beginning verification phase of system scan

Waiting til 100%

[somber falcon]

Btw I was referring to ts video https://youtu.be/U6SRS5s625I?si=GIfh-nlZBro8q-Yd

[rare otter]

Could I theoretically use this as a pc case. I think it's look good

[fossil frost]

anyone watch "The Penguin"... if so, is it worth watching?

[rare otter]

I've seen it. It's goated

Btw it's stuck at 47%

[fossil frost]

SSD or HDD?

[rare otter]

Ssd

[fossil frost]

if its stuck, its likely fixing something, or attempting to anyway

[median apex]

I got 5070 ti. The fans are so quiet I can hear coil whine

[rare otter]

So should I restart the process

Or let it do it's thing

[fossil frost]

no, leave it to run

[rare otter]

Bet

[median apex]

It’s the 300 watts of power!!

[rare otter]

It's still 47%

[fossil frost]

open task manager, and see what disk usage looks like

[long briar]

ITX + flex atx makes it dead easy

[rare otter]

0% usage

[fossil frost]

sounds like you MIGHT have a fucked SSD

you dont happen to have a spare you can swap into the laptop to test it with do you?

[rare otter]

I do. But it doesn't fit

Also its a hardrive not an ssd

[fossil frost]

it sounds.. dead or dying

grab crystaldiskinfo and check for what errors there are on the drive

[rare otter]

It's so close to fitting it's not even funny

But those bumps make it not fit

Could I pry them all without fucking up the actual hardrive

I'm ok with cosmetic damage. That's not a concern to me

As long as the drive itself still works

[fossil frost]

feels like its possible to get a drive to fit without removing them, or, you should be able to non-destructively remove them

[rare otter]

So I can remove it from the case and it will work?

[fossil frost]

does it not fit because its in a rubber case?

[rare otter]

It's cause the metal casing itself

[fossil frost]

ah

[rare otter]

Should I remove the metal casing

[fossil frost]

no, thats the drive casing, the drive wont work without it

[rare otter]

What about these plastic bits

Or are they holding those pins in place

[fossil frost]

thats exactly what they are doing

[rare otter]

What about the plastic in the middle

Left
And right

[fossil frost]

dont modify the drive its self, you will destroy it

[rare otter]

Well what should I do?

I hope I'm not just fucked

Qq

[fossil frost]

did you try crystal disk info on the drive that got stuck at 47%?

[rare otter]

Huh?

[fossil frost]

when you ran sfc /scannow, and it got stuck at 47%, can you reboot into windows, install crystaldiskinfo and look for what errors if any, show up

[sterile sundial]

Sorry, but how do you get stuck when running sfc /scannow

[fossil frost]

broken drive

[sterile sundial]

Okay, yeah. The spinny spinny thing might not like to live anymore. That's fair.

[rare otter]

I did exactly what you told me not to do

And it worked

[sterile sundial]

Risk taker. Nice 👍

Question. How do I get green?

[rare otter]

500 gigs baby.
Not bad

[rare otter]

Thunk it'd work better if I install fortnite on that hardrive?

[fossil frost]

couldnt say

[rare otter]

I think that hardrive situation may have been 1 of the few times where not listening actually payed off

And I'm ngl thing seems to be faster

[civic fox]

i went from 5Mbps down to 200 down, on wifi we upgraded our switches, router, and got access point. with cat6 ethernet cables. i could get more than 200 by doing wired but they dont allow me

[faint dome]

Ohhh now some 5090s are missing some ROPS

Hehe

[sterile sundial]

Okie

[bitter harbor]

I was originally wondering why people would make forums accounts only to have no activity. Now I no longer wonder.

[sterile sundial]

Ayyy! I'm green!!!

[echo sluice]

[neon mesa]

well pc building is art

it's all subjective

[tribal wyvern]

hot take: we should bring physical media including CDs and MP3 players back in 2025

because you actually own your music

[gilded quest]

You can buy mp3s, or rip CDs, and put that on your phone or tablet or whatever you have

[tribal wyvern]

my point is more fuck streaming services

[gilded quest]

A dedicated mp3 player does nothing special here

[tribal wyvern]

except they look banging

i kinda wanna buy a decent quality but used ipod video and put rockbox on it

would be good for my ADHD to have a seperate device too

[gilded quest]

What the fuck

There are still some DAPs available, and some of the high end are android which is convenient

Although ipods are a nice shape

You have never owned music

[harsh quartz]

if you remove the metadata, no one owns it

[uneven stirrup]

Still didn’t get a 5090

[slate agate]

you can have your own music now if you want, just feed your song to one of the AI music generating sites. the rate they have improved is crazy

[alpine gale]

As TopLime noted, technically, you're only purchasing a license to consumer the media, even when you buy a physical copy. You're spot on that physical media is better for permanence because rightsholders cannot (yet) "take away" a physical item (DVD, CD, cassette tape, etc.) from you after purchase compared to how digital streaming services gain / lose content rights everyday, but you still don't own the content.

[crude vortex]

its like you have the right to play the music but not own it?

[harsh quartz]

people with too much money

[crude vortex]

you can still fit one more laptop

[slate agate]

try udio or Suno

[alpine gale]

Suno is something else. Like, in a good way. I can almost always tell it's a Suno song (there are tells) but damn it's gotten really good since they released v4 of their ML audio / vocal models.

[crude vortex]

i have suno is great!

[slate agate]

suno is very good, I find I can tell the vocals sound a bit more AI-ish however then udio at least to my own ear

I haven't tried v4 yet however

mostly just playing around with udio atm

[crude vortex]

V4 is crazy great.

i was surprised that AI music sounds good

[slate agate]

or very bad. all luck of the generation and your prompting

[alpine gale]

Yee. One of the OCRP (GTAV) streamers I enjoy has an entire Suno Ai music playlist they put on during intro / outro, and whenever the game crashes mid-stream. The older V3 songs are very obviously generated, but the newer stuff is a lot closer to actual studio recordings.

[slate agate]

some of the most fun I have is giving it a very simple prompt at times and seeing what it can spit out

mostly bleh, sometimes not bad

[crude vortex]

yeah the music is great,but i can never think of them better than traditional music

[slate agate]

now think on how fast AI is improving, in a few years you may have a app on your phone that generates new music for you on the fly, totally original and completely to your tastes

[alpine gale]

Oh for sure. I like when we knowingly use Machine Learning as deliberate filler for a void / gap, but IMO nothing will actually replace genuinely created human content. At least, not until we've created actual Artificial Intelligence that we can no longer stop.

It made for great memes when Crowdstrike broke the entire Airline / Hotel / Hospitality industry last summer. 😄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrrryadgchI

[slate agate]

it's always got that ai twang to the vocals to my ear, but I like how sudo does instruments better

https://www.udio.com/songs/5naHaA5WbXp7bbRtdbG2KE

[quartz dew]

huh did anyone see the new internet anarchist video on the ltt/gn spat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCvvmvIjNWM

[alpine gale]

Yes! Even with the V4 model, the vocal twang is an absolute tell. It's funny when Spotify suggests a new artist in my Discover Weekly playlist and I'm almost always correct when I think "hey, wait, this is an AI artist..."

[slate agate]

not self promoting, just an example of vocals in udio

[alpine gale]

Nope. I don't follow drama. Helps ensure my brain rots less than it otherwise would.

Hey guys,

I'm building a compact/portable gaming PC and already have a 4070 Ti, an i9-13900KF, and an i7-12700K. I want the best FPS performance, but I’m unsure which CPU would be better for this build.

Should I stick with the i9-13900KF, or would the i7-12700K be a better choice? Also, what PC case would you recommend for a portable setup?

[woven flower]

Unless temperature’s an issue, why go with a lower class and gen cpu?

it decided it was not going to record today

the whole reason for renting it was to record

welcome to my hell

[restive lion]

im already recording 32 tracks of audio and running comms off my intel mac but apparently tomorrow im also running OBS to record the webcam pgm feed

[pliant karma]

I already know I am gonna be cursing at it again during the broadcast events later in april

Sometimes on a hot mic although that is intentional

[restive lion]

the mac sounds like an actual jet engine

[pliant karma]

intel mac so checks out lol.

my i9 one was screaming also until it well bricked itself.

[restive lion]

worst part is that i formatted my external drive to see if that fixed it (frantically moving files onto my desktop as the show started) and it didnt even fix it

so now i have to rebuild my filing system on my school drive

ig i could download the whole thing off backblaze

[pliant karma]

You wanna hear the plan my prof has for the atem mini . The damn tricaster system refuses to take a 4k input from one of the ptzs for how old it is...so we're gonna use the atem to bounce over the signal.

I hate it with all hell but jenk is my method I shall do that.

[restive lion]

wtf

also 38gb of audio

572.47 is problematic

[iron bramble]

why the fuck are the nvidia instructions only for vista xp and windows 7 on how to rollback

why is roll back greyed out in control panel ugh

[iron bramble]

it hard crashed my system twice in alan wake 2

[jade fractal]

yeah it's the one causing black screens on 30 series and up

[iron bramble]

genuinely impressive how they fucked it up considering it shouldnt even affect my card

all it does it add support for marvel rivals and 5070 ti

like it didn't go to BSOD but the BSOD code was in event viewer

i rolled back in device manage but it didnt work its still on 47

if i use ddu it'll still have windows default drivers right

[turbid oriole]

Encanto is underrated

[iron bramble]

ok its working now

and now getting a terrible flicker

[onyx laurel]

Does someone have the thrusmaster t300 and the moza r3 is there a big difference between them?

[nova hare]

t300 is belt drive and r3 is direct drive. Thats a huge difference

Dirrect drive wheels nowdays are generally considered superior to belts

[onyx laurel]

So that means its more realistic/smooth

[nova hare]

Yea kinda. Its hard to explain the feeling

More responsive smoother and just feels better in general

Personally i have fanatec clubsport v2.5 wheel base which is belt drive but ive tried out many direct drives and i really want to upgrade to one

[full fossil]

never understood why apps like spotify use so much cpu to download songs

[thick stirrup]

[onyx laurel]

the Fanatec CSL DD is a really good buy but the company went bankrupt

otherwise i would have bought that one instead

[nova hare]

it didnt

well kinda

[onyx laurel]

oh huh

oh

mhm maybe it was better to get that one then

5nm and with a extander its 8nm

[nova hare]

Technically they did file for bankruptcy but the operations are still onging. You can still buy their products and theres a high chance corsair will buy their asses in the near future

[onyx laurel]

Ah oke

[nova hare]

Actually my info is out of date. Corsair already acquired them so Fanatec are still operating only under Corsair's ownership

[onyx laurel]

ah

dayum

what racing games are good i now have beamng and assetto corsa

should i buy ACC and AC EVO?

and forza

[nova hare]

AC is my favorite. I havent tried ACC. AC EVO looks promising but its still very early, theres a lot of shit they still need to add. Id say Iracing is the most realistic but they have subscription model for 10$/month or something like that. And forza is kinda personal prefrence some people like with a wheel but personally i like it more with a controller

project cars, f1 24 and dirt rally 2.0 are also really good if you're into that

[turbid oriole]

Those are kinda the peak tbh

[onyx laurel]

alr is iracing better than AC?>

for 4k 240hz do i wanna use dp 1.4 or hdmi 2.1

im getting the screen going black for a few seconds when i alt tab

even adjusting volume wtf

seems this has been a known issue for 2+ years

[fossil frost]

I had a similar issue on one of my screens . Was a bandwidth issue. I had to knock down the colour depth to 8bpc instead of 10bpc. And it was fine after thst

[glass zenith]

I just love when random people give me drives for free

With all of their data

[iron bramble]

anytime i alt tab from a game or tab back to it it goes black for a few seconds

doesnt matter if its borderless or exclusive full screen

goes away when i turn off gsync

game is set to 240hz

i know cuz cutscenes it goes up to 240

[dusty jungle]

first time here, so i don't really know where to post, so sorry if wrong chat

I wanted to get a Acer or Asus Chromebook Laptop, i wanted with least 12 cores/16Gb ram/4tb ssd

But its always either
8gb ram/4tb ssd/12 cores
16gb ram/256gb/10 cores

i want the best of the 2 but can't find any, i tried and see if i can order a custom laptop by looking it up online but nothing came up

so should i just buy the 8gb ram 4tb ssd with the 12 cores?

[hot tartan]

for gsync it is best practice to set a driver level framerate cap to a little bit below your monitor refresh rate, i set mine to 236

[iron bramble]

ive heard setting gsync to fullscreen + windowed can also fix it?

[hot tartan]

if you have set to your monitor refresh rate, sometimes you can render just above 240, which break gsync

[iron bramble]

friend has the exact same monitor

[rare otter]

I tried everything I could think of

Fortnite still won't work

[wispy marsh]

what is your windows version?

[rare otter]

Windows 10

[wispy marsh]

does the folder exist in the system?

[rare otter]

I think so

Lemme check

Guck it ima ins windows 11

[wispy marsh]

If you install windows 11, 24h2, your problem will get much worse

the version of easyanticheat might not have been updated to avoid using kernel space, which was restricted to only microsoft/windows programs

[strong quartz]

What are some GPU recommendations you guys have?
I’m currently rocking a 2060 (6gb) and I was looking to upgrade,
I was hoping for a 5070 TI, but the company I buy pc parts from marketed it up to 1500 Euros (crazy I know) what is another more budget friendly gpu?
My budget is max 900 Euros

[rigid tartan]

Earnest suggestion? Go on eBay and find something for 900 Euro. 4080 might be in the wheelhouse.

[strong quartz]

Good advice, thank you

[spiral sierra]

get 7900XTX , more VRAM ,better peformance , will age better ... or 7900XT and get CPU upgrade not sure what you are rocking....

well yeah , if you do not count for RT...

[strong quartz]

I’m rocking a Ryze 5 7600x

[spiral sierra]

so 7900XT would be better choice 7900XTX might be overkill for that CPU , unless you game at 4K.

7900XTX can do most demanding titles at 4K 60FPS why would you need upscaling ....

[strong quartz]

I was crossing fingers for the 5070 TI, then I would’ve been set for 5 years or so.
Problem is €1500 for a 5070 TI felt to me like it was not worth that price, I could be just out of touch though

[spiral sierra]

and 16GB of VRAM on 1500euro card ,when some titles like RESIDENT EVIL 4 can easily take up to 15GB on 2K....

depends on the GPU ... for 1080p wouldnt go above 7800XT or 4070ti SUPER for that CPU

I have 14700K and 7900XTX , do I really need to start up Stalker 2 and cyberpunk 2077 just to make my point...

CPU bottleneck .... is a think in 2K and 4K it can handle 7900XT and 7900XTX fine not in 1080p

EXCLUDING RT.... -_-

because you can get better reflections with shaders than the prebuild pathtracing...

5070ti is basically overclocked 4070Ti SUPER...

and 7900XTX competed with 5080...

[brittle nova]

I'm runnig a 4070 super with a 13600k at 1440p. legit can't imagine needing a better pc. unless you want to play cyberpunk native 4k or 1440 with no dlss like it's kinda over kill

I have path tracing on with all max settings dlss in cyberpunk 1440p and im getting up to 100 fps maybe 80 normaly

[spiral sierra]

Exactly , hence why it all depends on the guys resolution .... cause spoiler 6 core CPU not gonna do well when GPU spits out 300FPS at it ...

[strong quartz]

What have I done…

[spiral sierra]

also what Wattage is you PSU ?

[brittle nova]

ikr

[strong quartz]

850, I upgraded in preparation for the 5070…

[spiral sierra]

XESS 2 FTW actually , lowest latency close to dlss in terms of quality

[brittle nova]

like no issues until you look too close at the details at 4k

[strong quartz]

Anyone on Intel arc gang?

[spiral sierra]

Personally with that CPU i would shoot for 7900XT . XTX is overkill , but 16GB GPU ... for that price is a bit of an insult , or wait for 9070XT , rumored to have 32GB of VRAM at 600 , so say 800USD because of scalpers.

[brittle nova]

too scared to take the risk with compatibility maybe in a few years if i ever upgrade

[strong quartz]

Ooooh, if those are the rumors then they sound great. Seeing as I’m not in too much of a rush to change I’ll just wait for the release of the 9070

[spiral sierra]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSiczcJgY1s nvidia is lying than. GOT IT...

[spiral sierra]

yup if it will be available its smart choice as it ought to realease in March ... otherwise gun for that 7900XT if it sucks 😄

[quartz dew]

Imma just wait for a $500 16gb gpu

[brittle nova]

ahahahha

[brittle nova]

in this world brother id be praying not just waiting\

[spiral sierra]

no joke there is already RX 7800XT and INTEL is appreantly planning some 24GB gpu

[quartz dew]

Eh give it like two years

[spiral sierra]

or RX 6800XT . 350USD , competes with 4070... people sleep on that GPU

[brittle nova]

4060 with 8g is criminal tbf

[quartz dew]

6800xt isnt that like 4+ years old now

[spiral sierra]

especially in world where 6700XT and B580 exist

[quartz dew]

It's been a while

[spiral sierra]

well yes but 7800XT is basically again OC 6800XT with lower TDP...

in some titles 6800XT actually beats it , they cut some cores on the 7800XT , but they are higher speed

[quartz dew]

Imma go back into my cryopod until 5070tis hit $600

[spiral sierra]

I will wake you up 😄

[silver raft]

Chat do I need an ultrawide monitor

(I can more than afford it)

[turbid oriole]

Depends on what you do

[silver raft]

Play marvel rivals, die a lot

[turbid oriole]

As a developer, it’s kinda useful but a second monitor is miles better, as an editor it’s better than a dual monitor setup. As a gamer, a lot of games limit you or give you a half arsed solution

[turbid oriole]

I don’t think ultrawide will solve thaf

[silver raft]

My current monitor is 1440p 165hz, the one I want is wqhd 1440p 180hz

[turbid oriole]

Oh, and if you’re a streamer do not get it under any circumstances cause you’ll have to play your games stretched or in windowed borderless(cause recording standard is 16:9 for YT)

[silver raft]

Okay THAT alone is enough for me to say no to buying it

[cobalt narwhal]

get 240hz non wide, it’s better

[turbid oriole]

Or you can set it up so you can play it on fullscreen but you’ll have black bars on the right and left side of the game, cause it’ll be in 16:9

That setup sometimes works and sometimes not, my monitor was very much against it for some reason and kept stretching or just using native res

hello, i have a question if anyone can pour its knowledge, i have acquired a couple of arctic p14 max to replace my great but loud noctua nf 14 to cool a 280mm nzxt radiator in a pull config, however, the p14 max does not seem to have daisy chain capabilities, of course i do have a pwm splitter cable, but im concerned about the power draw, could it damage my motherboard? its a msi tomahawk z790 wifi and i intend to daisy chain them to one single pwm port, i think each fan is rated at 0.4 amps and the limit is 1 amp with 12v, will it not hurt my motherboard on the power draw if i only use two of them together?

thanks, also the minimum current of each fan is 4.3v and maxes out at 12 per fan

[plain gale]

per those ratings you mentioned you can safely run 2 fans on one header

[fringe lance]

2 or 3 fans per header is generally advised

they wouldnt daisy chain them if it werent safe

[fringe lance]

c12cl are just as good, daisy chain and way cheaper

[plain gale]

you can easily buy 4-6 to 1 cables. they absolutely would. just use a tiny bit of math to figure out the safe max number for your fans and motherboard header

header_max_amps / one_fan_max_amps

round that number down to the next full number and you have your answer

[round bridge]

Ok, give me 200m^3 of glass

[grim shell]

guys how do i know of my motherboard usb/ports will be compatible with case

[crude vortex]

that wouldve been as long as a football field

[round bridge]

Ok

[nova hare]

I just found out my pc hasnt been grounded for like 5 years

[round bridge]

Ok

I will bless your pc if you give me funding for a giant glass pillar to prank the birds

[silent kraken]

ok uhh hello

i did not expect this chat this dead lol

[round bridge]

Hello

#pets

[nova hare]

I was getting shocked by my keyboards metal frame and i couldnt understand why since usb isnt supposed to carry enough power to give shocks. Turns out the only wall socket behind my pc where i had the extension cord for pc, monitors etc. didnt have ground pins. It was one of those shallow ones thats supposed to be only for like monitors or phone chargers. I had the cord in it for so long i had forgotten its not grounded

[crude vortex]

why are they teaching me this stuff in high school chem?im not even a bio student+is this useful in engineering?

[sacred igloo]

hi

[modest laurel]

all right thanks for the advice on the fans

ill daisy chain the two of them

[rare otter]

I'm buy a 200 hrz ultra eide monitor

[coarse cypress]

i hate that every game is putting like 4k in by default

not what im talking about

??

[hybrid echo]

He's saying Abt the auto default game settings textures is 4k

That's what I think idk

[coarse cypress]

no im not

[summer folio]

Why is there annoying background music on Techlinked?

[hybrid echo]

Bruh

[summer folio]

Have it always been torture to listen to TechLinked?

[coarse cypress]

im saying that alot of games put 4K textures and stuff in the game by default, it just wastes my storage with no benefit

i dont want to waste storage

[hybrid echo]

Ohh I think there is a tool to remove it

[summer folio]

You can barely notice it so it's even worse

[coarse cypress]

try playing it on mute or smth then

[summer folio]

good call

[hybrid echo]

Tiny pitched hurts the most

[coarse cypress]

you cant be watching this many videos at a time to where this annoys you that much

[hybrid echo]

To make u smart

[summer folio]

Who adds 5% background music

wtf

[coarse cypress]

i just had to unninstall a whole 60gb game so i could fit in 5gb, if there were no 4k textures in any of my games i bet i wouldnt of had to do that

[summer folio]

it just becomes noise

[coarse cypress]

everything you hear is noise

[crude vortex]

um so why not teach me smth thats useful and makes me smart

[summer folio]

it's unwatchable

switching to american dad

[coarse cypress]

bro is really rambling on about a song he doesnt like 💀

[coarse cypress]

they have casual use of gay humor and the hard R, dont watch it

[hybrid echo]

Glucose

[crude vortex]

yea wont help me unless i pick biotech engineering

[hybrid echo]

What do you think you'll do when u graduate

It might help you idk

[coarse cypress]

get a job and forget everything

[hybrid echo]

Lmao nah

[crude vortex]

exactly

i want to pursue either mechanical or comp sci engineering

[hybrid echo]

Yeah

Still good to know, but total vs the way schools do it

[coarse cypress]

unless you get lucky and someone "hires" you

[hybrid echo]

Else what

[coarse cypress]

What is this servers obsession with bread?

you spelt it wrong, its bread

Linus Bread Tips

[hybrid echo]

Good luck

[coarse cypress]

Ill never get a job

[coarse cypress]

Ill buy a steam deck or smth and then just live my life homeless, a nomad with no place to call home.
