[wraith sonnet]

manjaro. the documentation from steam deck power users alone is going to be a godsend.

[dusky jacinth]

Mmmmm I'd hard pass as an average user when it comes to Manjaro.

[whole swallow]

I think prolly something like Mint (Ubuntu) since more stuff is built outright right for it with deb packages and all that and it's oriented more towards non-Sickos. (see prior post about no Fedora RPM package for discord on their website)

[dusky jacinth]

That distro is even more broken af than anything I've ever tried so far.

[fossil frost]

something ubuntu based, and for new-new users, Mint specifically, because its designed to just not be in the way, intuitive, and have a style of UI that is similar to modern windows, making the switch easier for people, without being a direct pixel for pixel clone, and... fixes many of the issues people have with the windows UI

mint being ubuntu based, any set of instructions you find "for ubuntu", works on mint too

[dusky jacinth]

Sounds about right.

I would even still recommend Mint these days for any newcomer to Linux.

[fossil frost]

mint recently overtook mxlinux to be the most widely installed desktop distro

[dusky jacinth]

Zorin being the only other exception.

[whole swallow]

I think I might chuck Mint on the utility box just to see what it's all about since I don't have any specific reason to use Fedora.

[dusky jacinth]

I never quite understood who all exactly were getting into MX, honestly.

[whole swallow]

I only snagged Fedora due to Nobara on my gaming rig

[dusky jacinth]

If it was the advanced or "settled in" users, maybe.

[fossil frost]

i looked at zorin, but didnt like how hard s76 try and push you towards the paid pro version

[dusky jacinth]

Though anyone else, especially new people... I'd be asking "what exactly were you expecting out of it though, going into MX?"

[dusky jacinth]

I thought S76's distro was Pop!.

[fossil frost]

sorry, i was thinking of Pop! 😄

but, Zorin does also try and push you towards the paid version

[dusky jacinth]

I mean... I kinda get it?

Though at least to their credit, you still can just avoid doing so anyway.

[fossil frost]

yeah, its a business, they are trying to make money, i dont blame them... i personally chose not to go with them because i know i can get the same experience without paying

[dusky jacinth]

I'd go with them and then just go with the Core and/or Lite version every time, knowing those are just fine.

Pro version is just for having everything setup and installed for the Windows user that still lives in Windows by the mindset. Lol.

[fossil frost]

yeah, the pro version is essentially paying for a shortcut

[dusky jacinth]

Which being someone who grew up with old Macs and moved through all sorts of stuff experimentally, I'm not tied down so much, soooo... Core, Lite, or just a different distro where I feel it works.

[dapper robin]

hey anyone here with experience with claude pro subscription? is it better than chatGPT pro all round?

[fossil frost]

its about the same

Nice

[tiny halo]

Huh?

[silver sun]

Just counting

[crystal flare]

i Applaud the fact that there are dedicated fans who are willing to fan translate entire games from japanese to english so we can play them. like with Monster Hunter Dos or Monster Hunter G.

[buoyant vessel]

it's a wild level of dedication to do all that with no incentives at all.

[crystal flare]

extreme dedication.

[winged spire]

Dude that is a 7 year old post what are you yapping about

That guy isn’t even in this server anymore

[tiny halo]

Awe feel the pain

[serene cedar]

How much could i flip a 5080 for in the states

[winged spire]

What does legality have to do with anything 💀

[vapid smelt]

Just return it to the store if you don't want it

[winged spire]

Check recent sold eBay prices

[tiny halo]

Flip a 8050?

[serene cedar]

I can get a 5080 for like 1500 and i wanna see how much i can get for it

[winged spire]

What

[serene cedar]

Its like around 1800-2k do you think i could actually get that much?

[winged spire]

If you want to be a loser scalper POS then possibly

I went to microcenter the other day

They literally didn’t have a single Nvidia GPU

Literally not one from any generation

Is hasn’t been that bad in YEAAARS

They definitely intentionally cut production of the 40 series early or something

[fossil frost]

this is the wrong community to ask about being a money scrounger

[vapid smelt]

@arctic pollen thoughts

[scarlet cargo]

ok quick question. my system is older and still running ddr3 ram. a friend was getting rid of their system and i managed to salvage the ram out of it. the new set is slower than the ram kit im currently running, so my question is if i install the new ram kit alongside my current one i know ill get more capacity, but will the faster kit run slower to match the new kit?

[fossil frost]

it should do yes

[scarlet cargo]

im pretty sure the answer is probably yes

[fossil frost]

its sub-optimal, but it should work

[vapid smelt]

If you are lucky the slower ram could be overclocked to your current ram speed

[scarlet cargo]

its ddr3 so its not like its going to be fast anyway

[fossil frost]

and yes, as coopa said, IF you are lucky, the slower ram might actually be capable of running at the same speed as the faster ram

[scarlet cargo]

thats what i was going to test later tonight when i install it. fingers crossed that it will oc to the higher speed. even if it doesnt tho, its still ddr3 so its not going to be fast anways and at that point 24gb is better than 16gb

[fossil frost]

depending on what you are actually doing, 24gb at a slower speed may actually be worse than 16gb at a higher speed

[scarlet cargo]

mostly gaming and streaming. i play alot of stellaris multi player tho and it regularily hit 16gb used

[fossil frost]

so you play games that regularly run into a limit at 16gb? then yes, more capacity at a lower speed would help

and if we are talking 1333 to 1266, then you wont even notice it anyway

[scarlet cargo]

F3-2400C11D-16GSR is the current kit im running

F3-12800CL7D-8GBXM is the new kit i got for free to add to my system

so 2400 down to 1600

[vapid smelt]

2400 ddr3 is pretty good

[scarlet cargo]

i think i might just stick with my current kit and not bother installing the new one if it wont oc to 2400, which i kind of doubt. my whole pc is att he end of its upgrade path for the mobo i currently have. upgrading to anything else means new mobo, cpu and ram at this point

[full fossil]

meow

[vapid smelt]

$30 for a 2x8gb kit with the same 2400 cl 11 kit on eBay

[scarlet cargo]

lol $30 is still more than i can afford currently. with the system being as old as it is, id rather get free upgrdes than not at all and save my money for a new pc. thats why i grabbed the ram out of my friends old system before they junked it

i got a free 17-4770 like 2 yeasrs ago for free and that was a big deal for me going from the i5-4670 hahaha

[full fossil]

changing out the cpu from a mobo would cost more then just leaving it in for the performance gain from this upgrade though

but if u did change it out and never did it before you learned some cool stuff

[scarlet cargo]

it was free

[full fossil]

u pay in thermal paste and physical labor

nothing is free

[scarlet cargo]

i have thermal paste, and like 5 minues of my time

[full fossil]

👍

[arctic pollen]

F this question let's ban this guy

[vapid smelt]

I agree

[bitter harbor]

I only consider it to be flipping when you bought a broken card, fixed it, and then resold it for profit. If that doesn’t happen it is scalping

[fossil frost]

if you have done some actual work, that deserves payment..

[serene cedar]

then how much could i scalp it for

[vapid smelt]

Sell it for a $100 profit as a finders fee

[fossil frost]

you shouldnt, thats the point

[bitter harbor]

You should have a $600 asking price

[viscid elm]

the only reason the rx 9000 is so expensive now is because of scalping

[vague shard]

or a lack of wide availability

[fossil frost]

maybe in some locations, but in others, it was very well stocked, and still sold out

[viscid elm]

nope

stores were completely filled with em

[bitter harbor]

No matter how many cards you have, if bots are going to buy them up in minutes, then you won’t have enough

[fossil frost]

OCUK posted a photo of their warehouse where they had built a HUGE fort out of the 9070 boxes 😄

[viscid elm]

i think there were stores just singular stores that sold more rx 9000 gpus then i think some of the rtx 5000 cards has til its launch

[fossil frost]

sorry, wasnt "th 9070" it was just the saphire pulse 9070xt... on its own

[viscid elm]

xd

[tiny halo]

Yeah, did any manufacturer state in number how many units they had? I remember seeing the sapphire wall

[tiny halo]

Yeah this

[bitter harbor]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-birds-crash-angry-birds-gameplay-gif-13762027302832669149

[fossil frost]

enough to build that, in 1 outlet, in the uk

[viscid elm]

no but again and again there are warehouses and stores just each that had 500-1000+

[bitter harbor]

I just had to XD

[tiny halo]

Ofc

[mint yacht]

Multiple thousands

[tepid jasper]

i think if $100 dollars if you lined up overnight to secure a card, not to sell it to someone else, is not too unreasonable, if it's a one off occurance

but only if your original intention was NOT to sell the card

but it so happened to be that way

[fossil frost]

again, you are doing work there, you are making the effort to stand in line for someone else so they dont have to do, someone else should pay you for that service.. as long as that agreement was made in advance.. standing in line, and then immediately putting it on ebay and justifying it with "i stood in line" is different

[tepid jasper]

ye

scalpers are horrible because there is no added value in their service

[viscid elm]

i wish i could say rtx 5000 not having stock is due to just scalping but sadly without it i am dam sure it would still be in the same case with rx 9000 its not

[edgy marten]

i need an 2,5in SSD
PREFERABLY

• DRAM Cache
• MLC SSD
• SATA

[viscid elm]

FOMO and such has made scalping and bad stock availability at a short time after launch horrible

[tepid jasper]

scalping is a minor fraction of the problem with blackwell

there's just no stock, period

[viscid elm]

MLC ssd XD

[bitter harbor]

On top of that, there is retracted value due to possible additional shipping damage

[viscid elm]

yeah like i said

with rx 9000 its a different case

[edgy marten]

i re and deinstall alot of games

[viscid elm]

they had stock

[viscid elm]

there is no modern MLC ssd for a usable price and no you do not need to worry about that unless its QLC or something

[edgy marten]

alr

[edgy marten]

then dram cache and SATA 2,5in

will be enough

[viscid elm]

do not get a sata ssd in 2025

[edgy marten]

my laptop hase 1 last expansion, SATA

[viscid elm]

also why do people care so much about dram cache

[edgy marten]

speed

[viscid elm]

upgrade the m.2

[edgy marten]

no

[fossil frost]

a youtuber said a word once

[viscid elm]

https://tenor.com/view/miau-cat-meow-gif-7549447283487850771

[fossil frost]

do you do a lot of large writes, quickly? or do you just use your SSD like a normal person?

[edgy marten]

i have only 1 m.2, i want to let the Intel H10 in there

[fossil frost]

because dram cache makes almost no difference for most people's use

[viscid elm]

its for games so normal

[edgy marten]

quick read/writes

[viscid elm]

what

[viscid elm]

for what

[edgy marten]

to play games and edit?

[fossil frost]

dram cache is for writing... reading always comes from the flash

[edgy marten]

ah, alr

[viscid elm]

knew it, no its not

[edgy marten]

i just wanna install games quickly, and play without any lag and drop in speed

[viscid elm]

i would way rather just grab a klevv c910 4TB or something like that if you really need storage

[edgy marten]

thats too much

[viscid elm]

yah a HDD can do that EZPZ

[viscid elm]

ok 2TB

[fossil frost]

after the first 1gb of data or so, you are limited by the flash anyway, how many games do you install that are under 1gb?

[viscid elm]

how much is it

[edgy marten]

i have a 320gb in my room (3,5in)

[edgy marten]

too much storage

[viscid elm]

what????

[edgy marten]

a good 512 will do me good

[viscid elm]

too much storage

[edgy marten]

I DONT NEED 4TB

[viscid elm]

what do you have now

[edgy marten]

512gb intel H10

[fossil frost]

the larger the drive, the more cache it has, small drives are notoriously MUCH slower than their high capacity counterparts

[viscid elm]

just replace it with a 2TB c910

[edgy marten]

okok

[viscid elm]

also nvme vs sata

[edgy marten]

I WONT REPLACE THE M.2

[viscid elm]

nvme is so many times faster its just dumb to go sata in any way you look at it

[viscid elm]

you want speed

but not??

[edgy marten]

omg, i will not change the drive

[fossil frost]

crying about speed of read/write, but wont go for the objectively faster drive

[viscid elm]

and a drive better for his next pc

[edgy marten]

my wifi isnt the fastest so i dont need super-speed

[fossil frost]

any SATA SSD will be more or less the same, it doesnt matter what you get, just get whatever is the biggest capacity you can afford

[viscid elm]

that nvme will last 5-10 years ez

[fossil frost]

your wifi has less than fuck all to do with your drive speed

[viscid elm]

he needs 25Gb to even get close to a HDD

[edgy marten]

DOWNLOAD GAMES :)))))))

[viscid elm]

or no wait

10Gb for HDD 25Gb+ for nvme

[viscid elm]

ffs

do you have 10Gb internet?

[edgy marten]

???

[edgy marten]

no, not even CLOSE

my countrys wifi is outdated ash

[fossil frost]

a HDD is fast enough to keep up with most home internet connections. but what it cant do, is reduce loading times from 10s of seconds, to sub 1 second

[edgy marten]

i want fast load times

[fossil frost]

wifi is the same all over the world, its the same standard, same spec... your INTERNET CONNECTION might be slow...

[edgy marten]

and i NEED a sata ok?

[viscid elm]

for a sata HDD you would need 1.6Gb internet to max it out

[fossil frost]

any SATA will be the same speed load times as any other sata... nvme will be an order of magnitude quicker

[viscid elm]

understatement

[edgy marten]

it is MY COUNTRYS problem, as there is MILLIONS of ppl with wifi problems because of the outdates and expensive tarifs

[viscid elm]

a sata drive will max out at 550MB read write

[edgy marten]

max i need, my wifi wont beat that

[fossil frost]

you are using "wifi" to mean internet... wifi is wifi, its the same everywhere... wifi is the wireless connection between your computer and your router... the wifi isnt the internet connection... the connection between your router and the actual internet... is the problem

[viscid elm]

https://tenor.com/view/get-real-cat-skate-funny-meme-gif-18666878

[edgy marten]

that i guess?

[viscid elm]

in short pleas just replace the m.2 there is no reason not to and sell or use the old one for something else

if you care about editing speeds this is the only solution

sata is just so old and slow by nvme standards

[edgy marten]

my m.2 is not even 98prc. on Crystal, why replace?

[viscid elm]

its still plenty fine for something like a HDD

[edgy marten]

guess what,

i dont care

[fossil frost]

because you want it to be faster.. you dont NEED to replace it. you WANT to replace it

[viscid elm]

since you can 2-4-anyX the size

[edgy marten]

nvm

I WANT A SATA SSD

[fossil frost]

easily

[edgy marten]

END OF STSTEMENT

[viscid elm]

then why are you here

go and buy one

[fossil frost]

im giving up with them now, i suggest you do the same, they are clearly a troll

[edgy marten]

i need a recccomendation 👍

[viscid elm]

he is one of the like 15 or so people i have blocked

[edgy marten]

i am not

[fossil frost]

you have had several.. yet still keep going on... troll behaviour

[edgy marten]

ok

[viscid elm]

you came to a tech server to ask a question so people can give their opinion

https://tenor.com/view/i-have-given-up-cat-i-give-up-i-quit-quit-gif-13920262101109645792

[edgy marten]

to ask for something, not to get told to get something else

[fossil frost]

replaced all of mine with more powerful ones last year

[fossil frost]

you asked for opinions, you got them, you didnt like them, and started throwing a tantrum

[viscid elm]

i really need to buy me a usb-c charger considering everything i use day to day has it

[edgy marten]

i asked for SATA not for M.2

[viscid elm]

a nice super compact 65w charger would be perfect

[viscid elm]

we have told you what is smartest and best to do

[fossil frost]

and i said, buy any... it doesnt matter, they are all the same, buy the highest capacity one you can afford, from whoever, from where ever.. it doesnt matter

[edgy marten]

yeah, but i asked for sata not m.2, i need a sata not an m.2

[viscid elm]

sata is just a interface that should not be used anymore for consumers

there is a reason why modern motherboards are only coming with 2 ports or if lucky 4

[edgy marten]

i get it, i have a slot and i want to use it

[viscid elm]

eh if im going for something it aint going to be anker

[fossil frost]

SATA speed flashrom is a solved problem, even the cheapo no-name ones are as good as any other

[viscid elm]

[fossil frost]

CSF videos took forever to produce, cost a lot of money, and get almost no views compared to cheaper and easier videos

which is why after a short revival, CSF is dead

[tiny shell]

im being lunatic

[pastel haven]

Ah yes, staying in boss' house for 24h is expensive

[fossil frost]

going through 20+ cctv cameras, plus 2-3 phone cameras, plus the 2-3 high res cameras, cutting it all together, making a coherent video from 100s of hours of footage, isnt free

[edgy marten]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/user/J101/saved/phT3Hx wil this be a good upgrade to my Laptop?

[fossil frost]

and while someone is spending weeks of work doing that, they are not making 2-3 ltt or short circuit videos

so no, 2 people having a sleepover isnt expensive... but everything else that goes with it is much more expensive than any other video

[edgy marten]

''stay up to date'' legend to say that in 2025 (joke)

oh there’s even more fun

[edgy marten]

i have a laptop with win7pro

[edgy marten]

[fossil frost]

yeah, xp was new when it was released... you cant expect some text on an application to be self aware and know its being installed 20 years later and understand the context and change its self

[viscid elm]

its a power connector

all it does is give power thats it

[crystal flare]

i wish i could decorate my windows 11 to look like windows xp or 7

[pastel haven]

I mean dbrand wouldn't give a shit

[fossil frost]

im not carrying this on, the videos dont make money, they have said they dont make money, the videos are a waste of time and resources for them as a business

[deep quail]

Good evening everyone ❤️

[willow bramble]

Also makes sense after going through the overworking period a few years ago

Reducing the number of videos they have to make and focus on spreading out the work load on fewer, higher quality videos for the main channels

[pastel haven]

I guess the audience doesnt matter, what does is just profit

[gilded quest]

There's cheap content they could do for CSF, like they used to a decade ago, but I don't think they're interested in that kind of content anymore

[willow bramble]

A bit surprised the video game news channel didn't do well

[gilded quest]

Like they used to film the guys playing card games in the kitchen or whatever

Super cheap to produce at least

[willow bramble]

And they probably don't make nearly as much per employee for the time spent making them

[fossil frost]

LMG is a business, if the business doesnt make money, guess what happens? people lose their jobs, people cant feed their families... the audience matters... but making money matters too... they are not going to pour money into a hole and burn it just because thats what they audience wants

[willow bramble]

Assuming 100 employees, that cost 100K per year (loose numbers but just to give sense), staff costs 40k a day

That's basically 833K a month burn rate

CSF probably made more financial sense when they were much smaller

Also probably a harder space to compete in with other 'fun' channels

[bitter harbor]

That market is so oversaturated, it’s an ocean planet

[alpine gale]

Audience does matter - without an audience, there's no revenue, and without revenue, there's no company to produce videos. The thing is, if the revenue from <THINGX> doesn't cover the operating costs to produce <THINGX>, then <COMPANY> would be foolish to continue producing <THINGX>, unless they're trying to go out of business. And my message doesn't even go into profit - I'm just talking about the revenue that <COMPANY> requires to keep the lights on, pay their employees, and not go out of business.

after getting a giant aluminum mousepad for no friction, i realized just how distugsting cloth ones are... 5 hours of playing and not using windex for a few days, and the mouse is glued to it. imagine cloth, thats disgusting. XD

atleast with this i can polish it.

also lack of friction, its kind of great.

and wont wear and warp like polymers.

It worked on that monitor
But not my main one

but im drawing at max less than 50% of its rated power

and im connected to a UPS

[viscid elm]

KNEW IT

[spice sphinx]

so no sudden drops

[spice sphinx]

if it dosent break within the first 2hrs of use i count it as fine lol

[viscid elm]

its avoid tier

[spice sphinx]

yea i didnt buy it

was free bnib

free bombs lol

[viscid elm]

yay

[alpine gale]

Huh? What? Why are you Windexing your mousepad? The aluminum or cloth one?

[viscid elm]

i might wanna consider going for a a550bn or something

if it works it works

[spice sphinx]

how much did u pay for that

i want to know

[spice sphinx]

yea but i need that paycheck to hit

[viscid elm]

true

[spice sphinx]

also im sniping a 8tb nas hdd for 80$ cad bnib

so priorities

[viscid elm]

sure they are working any well?

[spice sphinx]

oh yea its the same spot i got the cpu and mobo

some liquidation spot

[viscid elm]

just do a long smart scan

[spice sphinx]

they got a ryzen 7 7700x for 250 cad

the cpu was 50 cad and mobo 100 cad

im goated at lowballing

[spice sphinx]

OMV automatically displays health after some time (cus its scanning)

[viscid elm]

i love my truenas scale

[spice sphinx]

im not gonna use this with my 4tb raid1 cus id need to go to truenas for that

[viscid elm]

what made ya go for OMV?

xd

[spice sphinx]

cus im stupid

and its my first time using linux ever

[viscid elm]

nice

[spice sphinx]

also my cousin put me on so i had him for support

[viscid elm]

i would try to do proxmox then VM truenas scale

[spice sphinx]

im actually set i got tailscale running for remote access immich for photos and jellyfin for 🏴‍☠️

[viscid elm]

i have a great video for you

[split swift]

Basically my setup lol

[spice sphinx]

i mean what else is there lol

[viscid elm]

automation

i too have some stuff i do with my server

also not great

[vapid smelt]

Wanna talk about your data hoarding problems?

[viscid elm]

never

i also record in like 50Mb/s

or was it MB

o well anyways i need to get more storage soon

A po ta to salad plz

[bitter harbor]

Any sightings of 9070XT restocks?

[olive saddle]

ok weird question:

does anyone know of a clip with a little battery and LED, that you can clip over your iphone/ipads light sensor to force full brightness all the time?

just got the ipad pro m4 and no matter the auto brightness toggle, this thing is not bright at all

but the second you shine a light into the sensor with auto brightness on, it sears my retinas

so i was looking for a clip with an LED lol, whether that's something that someone already makes and I just can't find, or if its something someone somewhere has DIY'd

Vivid on the MBP fixes this issue, but nothing like that exists for the ipad

somebody somewhere has to have a fix for this

ty apple

[crude vortex]

go to face id and tweak the attention awareness settings and turn it off

using an led light would damage the sensor completely.

@olive saddle go to accessibility settings and turn off white-point adjustment too

should fix it :D

[spice sphinx]

@viscid elm guess which system is the upgrade lol

[rare bane]

left

[small bridge]

guys im finally upgrading my graphics card

I know everyone hates the 4060 but youll understand after i tell u what I have now

i currently have a amd 560 series...

[vapid smelt]

What cpu

[tame notch]

yes what cou

[small bridge]

i5-12600k

[olive saddle]

reduce white-point is disabled

attention-aware features made no difference

also I don't think a small LED would damage the ambient sensor

[rare bane]

bruh im on integrated graphics on a cheap laptop

[spice sphinx]

old system didnt have compatabile boot thingy

gonna have to start from scratch :/

[small bridge]

i run rust at 40 fps bru intergrated graphics runs it about 80

[rare bane]

congrats tho!

[vapid smelt]

Rust loves x3d cpus

[olive saddle]

I also love x3d cpus

me and rust have that in common

and nothing else

[crude vortex]

again,its not practical

[spice sphinx]

Correct!

2011 hw vs 2022 hw

[rare bane]

wait no, bu-

[spice sphinx]

cases are overrated

[rare bane]

then why do you have two

[spice sphinx]

oh the 2nd case is a whole system

i just built a new one to upgrade since i wanted to do media streaming

Xeons arnt that good for that

[rare bane]

build it without a case, duh

[spice sphinx]

free case > no case >>>>>>>>>>>>> paying for a case

[rare bane]

True

[spice bolt]

@viscid elm What would you reccommend for a UPS?

[spice sphinx]

2x ur peak wattage draw and have some form of communication to shut down critical devices

[wispy marsh]

That's enterprise for just the second feature alone

Are you trying to bankrupt them

[spice bolt]

What's the most powerful UPS on the market now? That can handle the beefiest of pcs?

[wispy marsh]

Consumer or enterprise?

An enterprise one could probably handle linus's entire house

[spice bolt]

Consumer

if I hooked up a top of the line gaming pc.

[wispy marsh]

Of course you could do HA and LB

[spice sphinx]

i mean 1.5x is fine ig but im using my UPS on my NAS mainly

u want SOME headroom

[rare bane]

who's that?

[spice bolt]

I hope that's a joke 😂

[wispy marsh]

Because mGPU is dead, i size up the pc's to be 1k watts in output, and you can run four of them on this basic unit

https://www.apc.com/us/en/product/SUA5000R5TXFMR/apc-smartups-5000va-rm-w-transformer-208v-input-and-120-208v-output/?range=61915-smartups&parent-subcategory-id=88976&selectedNodeId=23679172486

[spice bolt]

That's $6000!?

[oak pier]

you asked for the beefiest on the market

that wouldn’t even technically be the biggest you could buy for a PC

[spice bolt]

How about the beefiest for a budget of $500 😂

[oak pier]

shoulda started with that

[spice bolt]

If I were to build a top of the line gaming pc no budget right, you could imagine what that would look like RTX 5090 ect. What would be a good UPS for that? Power goes out and gives me a decent amount of time before it runs out of power + all the other benefits of a UPS.

An aesthetic one would be nice too.

[alpine gale]

How long are you talking? ~5-10 minutes so you have time to safely shut it down?

[spice bolt]

Idk like 30 minutes is good

If that increases the price too much, i'm good with 5-10 minutes

I also want it to look good

[alpine gale]

Something like this would likely be fine then. If you want it to run longer than 15-20 minutes under load you can purchase up to 4x battery expansion modules, or buy a bigger unit entirely to start with.
https://www.ecoflow.com/ca/delta-3-series-portable-power-station

[spice bolt]

"expansion modules"? Like it's upgradable like ram?

Oh dang that's neat

950 CAD is like $650 right

[alpine gale]

Yes. Ecoflow isn't the only company that makes these. Anker, Jackery, and Bluetti exist too.
https://www.ecoflow.com/ca/delta-pro-ultra

[alpine gale]

No idea - I don't know your country / currency. Online currency converters exist. Or you could just change the website's country to your own to see localized pricing.

[spice bolt]

USD

[spice bolt]

What if it doesn't have enough outlets?

is plugging in a powerstrip bad

Well it would at least look not as good.

[alpine gale]

Technically... you can connect a power bar, but be reasonable. Don't expect to power 30 devices with one of these. For something like that, you'd need to install their Smart Home Panel and/or a transfer switch to feed the power directly into [some of] your home's eleectrical circuits.
https://ca.ecoflow.com/pages/smart-home-panel-2

[alpine gale]

I currently have the Delta Plus 3 to power our Internet modem, Router, Synology NAS, and HP ProDesk Mini PC I use as a server.

[spice bolt]

I need my pc, 3 monitors, mixer. And I'm sure more things will come up

[spice bolt]

Ah ok

[spice bolt]

I'm going to build my pc once I save up enough money. Ofc a "top of the line gaming pc" changes over time as the market changes and gpus get better. I'm trying to plan for the other things outside the pc and when I finally can afford the pc then I'll start figuring out what parts to get, bc an RTX 5090 might nor be the best in like 8 months from now (plus the issues it's been having).

[alpine gale]

Even so, it's only meant to give me time to safely shutdown the NAS and server, then let our internet run for 5-7 hours, or until whenever the ISP's own battery backups powering our neighborhood node run out.

[spice bolt]

If the outage is severe enough the internet may not work at all.

But UPS is very good never the less.

[alpine gale]

Yee - our cable ISP has ~4-8 hour battery backups powering their nodes and line-amplifiers. So long as they have power, any customers who battery backup their modems will continue receiving internet too.

[spice bolt]

My parents keep the modem in their closet. We have very good internet. Maybe they'd consider letting me have it in my room so I can connect it to the UPS that will also be connected to my PC.

I'll still have eithernet either way, but I like the idea of having the modem plugged into the UPS as well.

[spice bolt]

How quiet is your UPS? I don't want it to be super noisey.

[oak pier]

i don't think i've ever heard a UPS before

[alpine gale]

Silent. The only time I hear fan noise is if everything else in the house is off and people are sleeping.

[spice bolt]

uninterupted power supply.

[oak pier]

No i know

I mean that I've never heard them produce sound

I have one on all my networking gear and pccs

[spice bolt]

oh "hear-ed"

[spice bolt]

I have this one, the fans turn on and it sounds like it's gonna explode like an overheated xbox.

[spice bolt]

Alright that's good!

[spice bolt]

This one is way too expensive.

[pastel haven]

Guys, i need an icon pack in this style

[alpine gale]

Put it this way... my 4-bay NAS makes more noise than any reasonable consumer UPS I've ever heard.

[oak pier]

the coil whine from my GPU is infinitely louder than my UPS is

[spice bolt]

What's a "4-bay NAS"?

[oak pier]

NAS with 4 harddrive bays

[spice bolt]

What's an NAS

[oak pier]

network attached storage

[alpine gale]

Respectfully... sometimes searching the internet is a great thing. 😉 But yes, what @oak pier said above. It's a server for storing files on the network, among other uses, depending on your needs.

[spice bolt]

You're not wrong

figured I'd ask while we were on the topic

[crude vortex]

hi mod

[alpine gale]

They're great for storing files on your local network (so multiple computers can access them), and sometimes are used to encode video, run game servers, or host movies / music / TV shows. I run a bunch of micro-services (Docker containers) on mine, backup all our computers, and host a Plex alternative called Jellyfin.

[spice bolt]

Ah ok.

[oak pier]

strictly speaking a NAS would just be the network attached storage bit, but usually whatever is hosting your NAS software can also do other things

[spice bolt]

So big boy SSD

[oak pier]

uh, no

Basically instead of using an external drive with USB, you have a small computer that has a bunch of storage that is able to share it with other computers via your network

[spice bolt]

So big boy external hard drive that can be accessed from multiple devices

[restive mirage]

Hey guys

[oak pier]

sorta

[restive mirage]

I really need help

Someone dm me please

[oak pier]

https://dontasktoask.com

[spice bolt]

What do you need?

[oak pier]

either post your question, or go to #1027757333117415424

[spice bolt]

Would I ever need one? For gaming?

[oak pier]

Not really

[spice bolt]

Or is maxing out my storage enough

[oak pier]

It's mostly for longterm storage and backups

[restive mirage]

I tried to update my Nvidia graphics driver, but it wouldn’t let me do it. It said failing to connect to Nvidia so I uninstalled Nvidia and then reinstalled it and then mid download my screen went all black and now my screen is a bunch of colors and it’s mainly white and black. If you would add me, I would send you a photo of my screen. it’s a little crazy.

[oak pier]

you can send an image here

[restive mirage]

No embeds

I dont have perms for photos

[oak pier]

use #1027757333117415424

[restive mirage]

Thx

[alpine gale]

This sounds like the perfect kind of thing to create a #1027757333117415424 thread for! 🙂 Include as much detail as possible, along with photos of the situation, and your full system specifications. Then patiently await assistance from a volunteer member of the community who might know how to help!

[spice bolt]

I don't have perms and I can send photos?

[restive mirage]

Thanks

[spice bolt]

I could use it for backups... is it worth it tho?

[oak pier]

Depends on the person

[spice bolt]

For me who wants to be able to play anygame at max settings and create videos. I also will have important backups for this long term minecraft world project I'll be working on.

[oak pier]

Depends whether you'd rather put more storage in your own machine, or put it in another machine that you can access from any computer on the network

you're the only person who can decide if it's worth it for you

[spice bolt]

probably on my own machine

I don't need other pc access

I might upgrade to a 2 pc setup for streaming. But right now I don't really need that.

[spice bolt]

I guess I don't need it then

[supple pawn]

Well, Hexos seems to be pretty sweet. Much easier to setup than truenas for a pleb like me.

oh u can do this with a USB port or ethernet port

some consumers have it now thanks to the rising popularity or Home NAS systems

that typically means u can opt for a low cap (battery wise) system and still be fine

should be around 200$ US new or if ur smart BNIB ones go for dirt cheap on the used market

[austere stump]

hi

[wispy marsh]

interesting

[thick salmon]

fr

[manic torrent]

Hardly. Can easily do it with consumer stuff

[wispy marsh]

haven't seen you around

what's up this evening

[manic torrent]

I was muted for a month a little while back, for calling someone a fucking idiot, minutes before they were banned for being a fucking idiot.

You know how it is

[wispy marsh]

i would usually call people out on their actions and thought process instead

stuff like "you seem to have a hard time context-switching, with that inadequate FPGA"

"oh sorry i didn't mean that, i just assumed everyone has watched that 2h-long video on how to build a PC"

It's fun for me that people sometimes take my roundabout way of saying things

However, i am also very weak in that i don't understand a lot of the roundabout references that other people say, so it's a double-edged sword

[hybrid echo]

Kinda how you argued with a guy and he kept calling you smthn about being a waste of you're mother's egg, good times

[cedar thistle]

What did I walk in on...

[hybrid echo]

No joke that happened to Bob

[manic torrent]

Good times, good times.

[manic torrent]

I often do, but sometimes you gotta keep it simple

[hybrid echo]

Wise

Damn I need to sleep

[cedar thistle]

How's folks doing?

[hybrid echo]

What?

[manic torrent]

Living the dream

[keen cedar]

living the rural american dream

[cedar thistle]

I'm living a headache.

My family decided to watch a movie with their Sonos sound bar literally on full blast.

[keen cedar]

you would die in my car its a sound bar

[cedar thistle]

Also wow, I'm surprised folks are actually talking to me here. Joined another PC building Discord server and the few times I poked my head into a place with over 100k members literally no one ever acknowledged me.

[keen cedar]

smaller servers are always more active to people and acknowleging them

its like chat dosent move so fast

[cedar thistle]

This server isn't that much smaller... 😂

I mean it was barely moving when I was there.

[keen cedar]

aint noone talk here tho

[cedar thistle]

SO I'm curious about something. I'll post this in #1106613567966429224 if needed but...

((And yes there's a reason I'm asking here.))

Anyone ever try building a PC blindfolded?

I'll take that as a no. ::chuckles::

[manic torrent]

No, that seems like a horrendous waste of time 🙂

[cedar thistle]

::flinches::

[cedar thistle]

How so?

[pastel olive]

hello

[manic torrent]

I mean, unless it's a performance piece. Better off spending time building a PC crane

[cedar thistle]

I'm asking because I'm literally blind.

[manic torrent]

Ah, excellent

[cedar thistle]

::blinks::

[manic torrent]

I mean... I'm not sure what I mean

But it would be a very different experience for me to assemble a PC with a blindfold vs being blind

[cedar thistle]

The need to adapt would be the same.

[manic torrent]

Yeah but I have done it a lot of times and know where all the things are already

[cedar thistle]

Right but if you wear a blindfold do you still know? You might have a mental picture but actually assembling it would be a different matter.

[hybrid echo]

Just use you're Spidey sense smh

🕷️

No joke that actually helped me so much, just feeling objects without looking at them is a big w to have

[cedar thistle]

Ah, so it will be obvious how things fit together when I start touching them? That's what worries me, touching something and ruining it.

Or putting things in the wrong place.

[hybrid echo]

Well not that, not even touching them, when you have seen let's say a mobo before you can already sort of blindly sense without touch the places and connectors in the mobo, so sloting in a nvme m.2 slot would be a easy thing to do, even mounting the mobo would be a easy task

[manic torrent]

I am very good at mental mapping - for some people it would be different

[cedar thistle]

::nods::
Honestly I would see if I could even shadow someone but I don't know of many computer builders near me, let alone somewhere that'd let me shadow them.

[hybrid echo]

Well if YouTube is an option

[cedar thistle]

Depends on how descriptive the channel host is.

[hybrid echo]

A good portion of time to learn to build PCs are from videos forms discord server and best if all, random hands on experience that gets you to build PCs well

Shit I forgot to add comaes to separate, oh well

[cedar thistle]

Yeah, the hands on experience is what I'm looking for. The instant feedback, you know?

[manic torrent]

The only bit that's questionable is new CPUs, because touching the grid can ruin it

[dense quail]

Why would you do that

[manic torrent]

However, assembling a PGA CPU like an AM4 would be fine

[hybrid echo]

I could already see the finger grease all over the fresh and sexy lga 1700

[cedar thistle]

Don't worry, I'm used to talking to folks who don't use commas very much.

[dense quail]

"should I try to put together this very expensive machine while blind folded"

No

[civic fox]

i can definitely say i am happy with my 12700KF, such a massive upgrade, practically eliminated performance issues related to the CPU

[cedar thistle]

Because doing things without relying on one sense every now and then can help you learn how to adapt. Disability can strike literally anyone at any time for any reason.

Also some might just for the challenge.

[hybrid echo]

What did you have before

[dense quail]

Lmao

[civic fox]

i3-13100F 4 core

[dense quail]

"what if I need to build a pc if I become blind!"

Is this bait?

[manic torrent]

I increased the challenge by doing water cooling

[cedar thistle]

Please describe the gif?

[hybrid echo]

Don't skip out but doing a aio, get a fully costume waterloop and a costume liquid cooled GPU for that matters

[civic fox]

next is getting a 4070ti since its well below MSRP where i'm buying it at

[hybrid echo]

Yeah, way better than you're 1080ti lol

[civic fox]

definitely

[cedar thistle]

And no it's not bait. I'm actually blind.

[manic torrent]

My pfp is my custom loop PC. It's hardline.

[hybrid echo]

Ooo

I.ment doing all of that while blindfolded lol

[cedar thistle]

When you're blind, graphics don't matter! 😏

[manic torrent]

I mean you save a lot of money on graphics cards

[cedar thistle]

Unless you want to play Microsoft Flight Simulator.

😢

[hybrid echo]

1024x1066 forever

[hybrid echo]

I have so much flight simulator controls, like the joystick and all of that cranks and shifts lol, never really use them

[cedar thistle]

Here's the thing.

Being completely honest, I would move my desktop into my recording studio, but the amount of heat it puts out is bloody insane. It heats my room up by five degrees or more when it's on. So using it in an enclosed space with no ventilation...
Absolutely not.

[hybrid echo]

Oh my PC never gets this issues tho

[manic torrent]

Tbh I use my PC remotely via moonlight mostly these days

[hybrid echo]

Oh well

That would work for me if I had some way of remotely connecting my webcam and a microphone to it.

[cedar thistle]

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you're suggesting.
I don't know how I'd extend USB cables to a completely different room... or what I'd even use to bridge the gap.

[manic torrent]

You can buy products that send USB over network, but also over dedicated cabling. There's lots of options. There's also dedicated USB extension cables.

[pliant karma]

Lol same forgot about it but ahh good to an extent. Got some productions coming up that shoot well into the night so I can use that extra time

[cedar thistle]

Ah. Dedicated cabling sounds like the way to go... I'm not sure I want to risk the latency of doing it over our internet.

well it did today at some point not sure why its like this now tho

[hot tartan]

Yeah i don’t really worry about it, i just like having all the stats lol

[viscid elm]

same

i did have it a short while ago and it said 3x but now its just gone

[hot tartan]

I’m assuming it’s just not showing as you have the 3 lines saying why it’s transcoding and the FPS isn’t a high priority

[viscid elm]

o well probs just something funky due to so many factors

[maiden flare]

Headcrabs in HL2 are my main nemesis

The venomous ones immediately get grenaded no matter what

And anywhere out of ravenholm, all variants get blown up too

They're the enemy I despise most

Could you theoretically make a mod of spiderman ps3 that's a full on demake of spiderman ps4

[earnest cedar]

the last several LTT videos i watched were giant TVs so the normal TV looks tiny now

[torpid zenith]

Been gaming on an i3 12100f and an RX6400 1440p and tbh it’s not that bad at all

[chilly fiber]

m

[viscid elm]

cpu good gpu not

[torpid zenith]

yea GPU was free

waiting for hopefully a sff 5050

[viscid elm]

😐

[viscid elm]

good luck with that

[hot tartan]

GDDR6? What the fuck

[viscid elm]

well its meant to be the budget cards

[hot tartan]

I know I know, I was interested in a 5050, but I want it to come with all the neat stuff ya know?

[bitter harbor]

That was a 50/50 chance anyways

[wispy dragon]

Hello there

[viscid elm]

it not being a pcie slot power only card will HURT IT hard

[torpid zenith]

True, but there also was a SFF 4060

[hot tartan]

Yeah I would have liked pcie only, maybe some AIB will make a sff single slot

But prob not sadly

[viscid elm]

wait a sec

no wait i was thinking wrong

i thought the 5050 might have been 8 pin

but yeah no even any extra pcie power means it will be more DoA then the 5070

fyi we HATE cross posting

[west yoke]

sorry I got a bit anxious

[jaunty pawn]

ello

[torpid zenith]

how so?

[viscid elm]

the only point the 3050 6GB got any sales was due to that pcie slot only power

[fossil frost]

and it cost as much as a can of pepsi and a mars bar

[viscid elm]

no

it was not cheap

[fossil frost]

which was the stupid cheap one, that was just shit, and even though it was shit, people still bought it, because it was cheap

im sure there was a 30 series that fits that

[viscid elm]

well vaux claims the 3050 for him was 200-230£

[fossil frost]

i must me misremembering an earlier generation then

[viscid elm]

yeah no there was a reason why there was so much hate for the 3050

[torpid zenith]

fair enough

if there’s a sff 5050 for ~$220 i think that’s worth

[hot tartan]

I’d buy one to replace the 2060 super I use for VM stuff

[wispy dragon]

Guys I have completed doom 2016

[fossil frost]

awesome. its a great game. doom eternal is arguably even better

[wispy dragon]

Yeah I know, I’ve been playing through eternal from time to time

If I want to beat all the games all I have left is doom 2 doom 64 and eternal (not including DLCs)

Doom 3 still haunts me

[fossil frost]

i remember following the development of doom 3, and it being lauded as going to be "one of the greatest games of all time" "radical new AI" "the most compelling action horror game"

it was all on rails, once you went into a room, if you died, you went in again and could immediately 1 shot everything

[wispy dragon]

I lived the game

Loved

Yikes

Yall do i ssd swap my Xbox one

[bitter harbor]

Discord isn’t a search engine

[fossil frost]

google, reddit, forums... all better resources than here for that

[wispy dragon]

Sorry

[floral sierra]

Shout out to my hard drive that finally kicked the bucket. 8 years is pretty alright

[fossil frost]

i ssd swapped my original xbox, xbox 360 and xbox one, with bigger drives too

not bothered to do the series x, no need

[karmic flame]

Not bad at all. I have one going on 10 years. Its still hanging in there

[full jasper]

hi

[austere shale]

Wanna hear the most useless metric my vehicle scan tool can see in some trucks? Total rotations of the crankshaft. So just sitting idle that number is going up 800/minute give or take

[rare otter]

This controller is goated

[honest pivot]

Hi peeps

[rare otter]

How would I change this

[full fossil]

do you have a 16 series or higher?

[verbal basin]

very carefully

[rare otter]

Not what I was talking about

[verbal basin]

Also. What exactly is this? What are we changing here.

[rare otter]

Talking about my gpu usage

[verbal basin]

Well you have a pretty old card. It's a 10 year old card iirc.

GeForce experience support might be shotty

Did you try installing a third-party utility to check GPU stats?

I personally use hwinfo.

[atomic flax]

can somone help me troubleshoot somthing

[verbal basin]

No, but ask away.

[atomic flax]

well my pc crashes not like notlag but it just freezez completely like wont even turn off without making it

[verbal basin]

Do you find any critical crash events in event viewer?

[atomic flax]

drivers updated and installed

[atomic flax]

no just when i had to make it turn off

[rare otter]

Does msi afterburner count?

[rare otter]

My main rig has a gtx 960

[verbal basin]

What cpu and memory kit do you have?

[verbal basin]

Yeah, that counts.

[rare otter]

So like that's kind of on brand for me

[atomic flax]

ryzen 7 5800x and 32 gbs of ddr4 3600mhz

[verbal basin]

Interesting, no overclocks? I presume you've reset bios settings?

[atomic flax]

yeah bios is prestine

[verbal basin]

And are you running windows 11?

[atomic flax]

yup pro

[atomic flax]

i did do one thing tho

i unlocked it through powershell could that cause somthing?

[verbal basin]

What was this one thing?
Pouring water on a running computer does tend to break it.

[atomic flax]

hahaha

[verbal basin]

Product activation won't cause crashes like that.

These crashes can cause data loss and data loss is an awful thing in operating systems.

[atomic flax]

could a fresh install fix it

[verbal basin]

How old is this install? Did you upgrade from 10 to 11 using the settings app?

[atomic flax]

no i just built it and initially it was running perfect

[atomic flax]

i also checked for viruses

[verbal basin]

You got the image from a Microsoft website correct?

[atomic flax]

yup

[atomic flax]

64 gb thumbdrive for the install as well

[verbal basin]

I'd do a memtest to check if maybe possibly there's an issue there.

[atomic flax]

i also tried memtest just throwin that out there

[verbal basin]

Ah, speak of the devil.

No errors?

[atomic flax]

no problems there

[verbal basin]

Interesting, this is either pointing to a power supply, mobo, or maybe cpu failure.

Are these used parts?

[atomic flax]

the cpu was used but i checked it and it was from a good source

[atomic flax]

psu is pefectly fine

motherboard is prestine too

[verbal basin]

This is very weird, everything you've told me points to a perfectly stable machine.

Have you updated the bios?

[atomic flax]

well it is mostly until ido somthing graphics intensive

bu my gpu is good

no lag either

it mainly happens in helldivers 2 tbh but rarely other places too

[verbal basin]

You've checked your power budget? Maybe your GPU is pulling too much and causing issues.

You usually want 30% more than what your components pull.

[atomic flax]

dawg i got a 4060 8 gb and an rm 850e psu

GOLD CERTIFIED

[verbal basin]

What's weird is you're not getting a bug check screen

[atomic flax]

never

[atomic flax]

it justlocks up like a 100 yr old with dementia

[verbal basin]

This is the perfect amount of unstable to hard lock the system and watchdog to not catch it.

[atomic flax]

temps are good too

[atomic flax]

hm

[verbal basin]

I have had lock ups on windows 11 personally

But it's not at all common.

[atomic flax]

would linux fix the issue do u think

[verbal basin]

If you'd like to try it. You could throw in a new drive and put what ever distro you'd like.

[atomic flax]

lol outa money

[verbal basin]

I'd suggest mint for beginners, arch for people who have used Linux before.

[verbal basin]

Do you have your data backed up?

[atomic flax]

i think so

[verbal basin]

Make it so you doublely know so.

[atomic flax]

can u uninstall and reinstall windows

[verbal basin]

Not fun formatting your last copy.

[atomic flax]

for sure been ther done that

[verbal basin]

No, Linux runs more stable on the ext4 file system. Windows uses ntfs.

[wispy plume]

What might one do with an old laptop that's outgrown its usefulness to me

[verbal basin]

You can partition a Linux install on the same drive and boot Linux.

[wispy plume]

i dont wanna just throw it away yknow

ewaste and such

[verbal basin]

There's a Lotta things you can do.
You can recycle it.
Turn it into a server.
Turn it into a monitor.
A kitchen recipe getter.
Etc

[atomic flax]

i may try that or just wait til i can buy a new drive

[verbal basin]

I'm guessing you partitioned your entire boot drive for C: right?

[atomic flax]

oooh make a server

[wispy plume]

and what am i gonna serve lol

[verbal basin]

Minecraft of course.

[wispy plume]

Also need somewhere to keep it

[atomic flax]

prolly whatever is default just smacked it on there tbh

[atomic flax]

amen

[verbal basin]

Yeah, you'll have to open disk partition and shrink it to give room for a Linux install.

[atomic flax]

ooh yeah ik that

[wispy plume]

i don't play minecraft enough for that

[verbal basin]

This will also require setting up grub or rEFInd boot manager if you want to access either one easily.

[atomic flax]

ye

ngl tho i may have overlooked somthing simple im good with hardware not software like u mr software engineer

[atomic flax]

dan

[wispy plume]

Also when dual booting with windows sometimes the bootloader will jump to another partition for some fucking reason

[verbal basin]

A fresh windows install might do the trick. I'd also recommend just getting a legit license.

[atomic flax]

i had that thought got no money tho

[verbal basin]

Never had this issue, it might be an issue with your boot order in bios/ufei.

[atomic flax]

honestly i would wipe the drive and redownload everything

[verbal basin]

There's websites to acquire them cheaper
Will not be linking them here for TOS reason. And keep your wits about for scams.

[atomic flax]

for sure

[winged spire]

Crew 10’s dragon is on the pad

[wispy plume]

It's not uncommon

[atomic flax]

somthing unsettlng for me is the only other person that ever thad the problem i do rn had an old asus laptop

waiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttt

i have an asus motherboard but it seems good

[verbal basin]

I have windows 11 and arch Linux partitioned very carefully on the same drive. I use grub as my main boot loader and I've always gotten into grub when I've pressed the power button.

[full fossil]

hello!!

[verbal basin]

Windows is also a tempramental bitch and will disk check, cry, and whine about it so maybe it's changing settings somehow. (heavily doubt it tho)

[atomic flax]

hm
