Lol. It was never meant to

It's a 1080 card all day. It's a great card in terms of value for money etc

It being shit at 1440p isn't a failure of the card, it's a failure of the user.

[near nymph]

Anyone understand Chinese can please tell me what these two blank columns are for?

It's empty... Feels incomplete. I want to fill somehow 🧐

hi

[honest horizon]

would love to order at ltt, but there's almost no tshirts available 😦

[near nymph]

💀 when you frequent Guanghua Digital Plaza... They gave me a 9 NTD discount... I gave them a 500 NTD bank note 🤣

[shut lichen]

That name sounds like something that definitely isn't thermal paste

[vapid wharf]

Tbh I just swipe these days

@near nymph you’re going to Computex this year?

[near nymph]

It’s coolermaster thermal paste

[near nymph]

Naw I’ll be gone by then. 😔

[vapid wharf]

Lmao

I wish I can ask work to get day 1 admission lmao

[near nymph]

I don’t live far from the Nangang exhibition centre though

Not sure where they will hold computex though

[vapid wharf]

Nangang Exhibition

As usual.

[shut lichen]

I'm aware

[near nymph]

[vapid wharf]

Hmmmmmm

[arctic otter]

[olive stream]

What app can I use to listen to music for free? Musi has been removed from the App Store

[vapid wharf]

Youtube with adblock

[shut lichen]

Lazy ass pirate

Walk the plank

[near nymph]

💀 my aunt is livid. I asked her how much she paid for a computer. They sold her a Sandy Bridge Pentium System 3 years ago… for nearly $500 USD

[olive stream]

YouTube stops if I turn off my phone

[smoky badge]

Just use Spotify and deal with the ads

[olive stream]

I can’t use it. It just plays random songs if I don’t pay

[smoky badge]

Well it’s free soooo

[olive stream]

But I want to be able to choose what I want to listen to

[shut birch]

yt lol

[olive stream]

.

[shut birch]

buy it 🤷‍♂️

[manic torrent]

if only there was a way to do that

[olive stream]

I have Musi on my old phone but no SIM card

[shut lichen]

Broke and lazy people don't get this privilege

Either be a real pirate or pay up

[olive stream]

20 dollars a month to listen to music is not worth it for me

[manic torrent]

so don't listen to music

[near nymph]

It’s not $20 a month…

Spotify is like $11.99 a month assuming USA

[vapid wharf]

Then buy it?

I spent like $2.99 a month on Apple music with student discount

[near nymph]

Stuff ain’t free… well there’s piracy. But yeah

[vapid wharf]

• try not to endorse piracy for something that can be bought for under $5

[echo sluice]

thats a subscription

[near nymph]

Well that’s assuming he or she has student credentials to get the student version. Or they can VPN to India

And get YouTube premium for cheap annually

I think it’s like $5 a month for Spotify if I use my Taiwan card

[echo sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-smiling-cat-grey-cat-cute-cat-gif-2949633679466643461

[near nymph]

Apple Music is $5 a month I think

[echo sluice]

for students

[near nymph]

Wait $11 for regula r

[near nymph]

$10 a month for Amazon Music Unlimited

Slightly cheaper if you have prime

[near nymph]

@olive stream you should just buy CDs and pay for it once if you don’t like subscriptions. The only reason I support subscription for music is that there isn’t platform exclusive that’s dumb

Carry a portable CD player. Pay once 🧠

Dang my YouTube premium expired

[plain gale]

Either put in the effort and pirate or go for a ytmusic/spotify family plan

[vapid wharf]

90 NTD for me on Apple Music Student

[vapid wharf]

Or get an income and never complain about it

[idle nymph]

Yahr

There be treasure

[near nymph]

WTF HOW MUCH is it normally?

I might make a Taiwan apple account

[vapid wharf]

Idk they just put me on the student account

(Probably purchase history)

(Or I unknowingly register my apple account with my student stuff and forgot)

[near nymph]

It shows he doesn't put effort towards pirating cuz it's kinda easy lol

[vapid wharf]

Idk. I only see “student” at 90 and family at 265

[near nymph]

Hmm

[vapid wharf]

Normal plan is 165

[near nymph]

Hmm I might get Spotify

149 NTD a month.

[shut lichen]

Don't ruin it.

[vapid wharf]

I do it because lossless + I have the whole ecosystem so might as well.

[near nymph]

To make a Taiwan apple ID you need a Taiwan payment method... I am Taiwanese

I have those... Lol

[shut lichen]

Ah, didn't know that lol, thought you would've already had a Taiwanese account then

[near nymph]

Oh I'm also Canadian.

[shut lichen]

Ah

[near nymph]

I only recently acquired my ID and stuff

[near nymph]

I kinda just want Spotify cuz Discord integration. Otherwise I might get Apple One.

Also Spotify has better playlists

I have tidal for lossless

[vapid wharf]

I make my own playlist

[grim belfry]

The app is so much less pretty than Apple Music!

[gentle slate]

anyone got a streamlined way to edit the right click menu on Windows? Googling brings me to regex and cba with regex

[grim belfry]

[vapid wharf]

[hazy parrot]

Youd actually make a windows terminal profile for that. And it will let you add a context menu entry from there

[vapid wharf]

Tbh I don’t even use Windows anymore. I might use Windows just for my gaming PC and that’s it. I use MacOS and Linux for work.

[near nymph]

It's papaya season in Taiwan and my aunt's husband family grows em

[hazy parrot]

You can remove almost any part of the context menu with reg entries. Chatgpt is actually pretty damn reliable at this and I've got a collection of the edits Ive has it make for me.

I can send you them for reference if you'd like

Aint it tomato season this month? Or did I miss the memo again

Amazing concept but I've done all sorts of DIY mounts for my standing desk and no matter what within a day I've got all my crap on there all over again

I will say I do have trust issues with motorized standing desks. The whole assembly on even 600-800 usd is an afterthought and has some failure point that gets it stuck permanently at a bad position and unusuable. Pneumatic assist lift is what id recommend

[hazy parrot]

Gotta get a dedicated crap desk

[manic torrent]

It is perfectly cromulent

And with a perfectly standard, removable cable! Good job HP!

Fuck you Dell!

[manic torrent]

[grim belfry]

Horrible!

[grim belfry]

It is, you just need a screwdriver

[manic torrent]

Orly? I am using an extension on it

[grim belfry]

They're sneaky

Yeah it's just screwed in (I assume) so that the cables don't get nicked

[manic torrent]

That is very cool

Yeah I picked the dock up for something like $20 or some such stupid price

[grim belfry]

Yeah they basically get given away

[manic torrent]

But since I got my laptop hanger slot, it's perfect. Shove in 1x thunderbolt for for the dock and 1x that goes to the 4k120 screen, and boom.

[grim belfry]

They even get pretty regular firmware updates

[manic torrent]

For my standing desk I'm using my thunderbolt hub

What is most comfortable an office chair or gaming chair?

[manic torrent]

That isn't really a question.

The simple/obvious answer is an office chair

[grim belfry]

The office chair or gaming chair you find most comfortable

[manic torrent]

But you can get shit office chairs and you can get amazing gaming chairs

[magic pier]

I found a razer gaming chair for 300 dollars

Then there is a office one for 100

I’ve had some gaming chairs before and all of them were not that comfortable it fells like a good gaming chair is atleast 500 bucks

[grim belfry]

Highly recommend buying chairs in person

can I crack my own email password? I registered an account with outlook. Edge generated a random pass and didn't save it! Now I'm logged, but if I log out I'll never be able to recover the pass. I can't add a recovery email or phone because to do it I need the pass.

[hazy parrot]

[hazy parrot]

Try another microsoft website

Instead of outlook try ms account, or Xbox

[dense quail]

I tutor a kid to help with his English here on the weekends. He's got a fairly firm grasp on the language and they've started doing proper essays in school

i’d assume marques because he reviews popular tech products and even brought down some startup 💀

[gilded vale]

is this supposed to be a reply to someone or just a random comment

[kind vine]

LTT kinda does random shit

[dense quail]

So I assigned him watchmen and he has to write an essay on why he either thinks Ozymandias was or wasn't justified

why do 8 gb windows laptop suck ass while macbooks with the same are better

[grim belfry]

On a Mac, 8GB of memory is equivalent to 32GB of memory on a Windows PC

probably because the amount of ram is not the only difference

[grim belfry]

macOS would never be so inefficient

[tiny halo]

Never!

do you have fake wam or what

[dense quail]

If China was going to do it, they would have or we'd be seeing way more than them just shaking a stick at them.

By the time they get around to it if they don't do it inside the next five years it won't matter anyways and more people than Intel are going to see the blood in the water by the time that rolls around.

Realistically China is acutely aware that invading Taiwan will decimate their presence and current favourable position on the global stage which they can't afford at the moment considering they just lost one of their biggest customers (like or not the U.S. is incredibly important to their economy and we're already seeing the aftershocks of recent news here in the mainland as we type).

They'd blow up their trade deal with Japan and Korea, ruin their relations in Europe and serve the U.S. the chance to reestablish good favour by them giving access to their home based fabs (which is good for their current economic strategy since it gives them more leverage to get companies to be more active on U.S. soil)

It was a really dumb take.

[grim belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-office-politics-political-deangelo-gif-24986051

[dense quail]

Linus said it on wan

But fair enough.

[distant maple]

They've teased about it for a while and teach their students that Taiwan is their territory. And made a bigger claim of the south China Sea than they actually have. But realistically they aren't really that stupid to invade another nation after seeing Russia go at it with Ukraine.

[grim belfry]

Linus also said the hard r on wan, doesn't make it okay here

[dense quail]

No he didn't

[strange elk]

When did he do that lmao

[dense quail]

He didn't

[strange elk]

Oh he talks about it I remember that

[dense quail]

I believe he was referring to the hard r as something else

[grim belfry]

"I dropped my fair share of hard Rs back then"

[strange elk]

Mentally degraded

Is the one he was referring to.

[dense quail]

I'm all for not getting into politics but Linus really has to think before he speaks about something that he obviously knows very little about. Luke is rational enough and often reigns him in which is nice.

[strange elk]

Not the actual hard r

[dense quail]

I think he was referring to the slur used to describe mentally and/or physically impaired individuals

It is funny that if you fly out of mainland china Taiwan is considered a kind of domestic flight

[gilded vale]

what was the dumb wan take

[dense quail]

Scroll up

[gilded vale]

I mean china invading taiwan seems like a 100% certainty

[dense quail]

It doesn't.

[gilded vale]

they literally built a shit ton of taiwan invasion barges

theyre MASSIVE and probably EXTREMELY expensive

[dense quail]

That's kind of what they do

Have you ever interacted with a mainlander or lived there?

[gilded vale]

no but that doesnt mean anything

[dense quail]

I currently do. Wasting money on showing strength isn't anything new for them. It's kind of what they do constantly

And it makes no political sense for them to do so

[gilded vale]

this is kinda like the gay joke where two guys act fake gay and marry each other, have children, but insist they are not gay

[dense quail]

You can read my explanation

[strange elk]

Lmao

[dense quail]

No it's not.

[gilded vale]

if china is doing everything right to invade taiwan, we should probably assume they want to invade taiwan and arent just "acting like it"

[dense quail]

If they wanted to invade they would've

All they've done is shake sticks at them

[gilded vale]

I mean currently the US is in a downward spiral

they can easily wait to see what happens

[dense quail]

Also, as I've said, it makes no sense if you pay attention to world politics

[cunning scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-there-gif-5677380953331354485

[gilded vale]

apparently china owns like almost a trillion in US bonds and if they sold them all, it would effectively destroy the US

[dense quail]

And they're taking advantage of that

[gilded vale]

im assuming china is waiting to see what happens with russia and ukraine

[dense quail]

Historic trade deals with Korea and Japan, best China has ever been on the world stage, increasingly good relations with Europe

[gilded vale]

obviously if russia gets scott free, its basically a free ticket to taiwan

and sometimes the invasion doesnt need to make sense

the invasion of ukraine was a stupid idea and basically didnt do anything for russia but they still did it

im not sure exactly what linus was saying on ltt but I think it would be a very good idea to assume taiwan will get invaded eventually and to plan around it

just assuming itll never happen and not having a plan for it is a terrible idea

[dense quail]

No, they're not. China, believe it or not, is a developing country for the most part. The government is much more concerned with building itself up domestically and making sure their economy is secure than rushing into invading anyone. The whole Taiwan thing is literally just a nuclear option which they will never trigger, if the U.S. is being this aggressive economically and china didn't decide to invade they'll never going to since they've kinda just been handed the chance at becoming internationally respected and shedding the stigma around the country.

It's why it sounded dumb when Linus said "like it or not China will invade Taiwan and when that happens intels fabs will be extremely important"

It's a long shot, I'm not saying it won't happen because who knows but it doesn't look likely.

[gilded vale]

It will 100% happen at some point

maybe not tomorrow, but eventually

[dense quail]

Define some point and define 100 percent

[dense quail]

Just did

[gilded vale]

I mean you wouldve been saying the same thing before russias invasion of ukraine probably lol

[dense quail]

No, I wouldn't. Because there was obvious signs that was happening outside of shaking sticks

[gilded vale]

and building tons of invasion barges isnt a sign???

next thing you know china landing troops on taiwan is just "shaking sticks" lol

[tiny halo]

it doesn't

[echo sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/contract-signature-john-hancock-under-contract-agreement-gif-2142258471865229746

[dense quail]

Building tons of invasion barges for the Chinese military is like Americans building super weapons. It's a show of strength but it's not happening anytime soon, especially now that China has a favourable position on the world stage.

[gilded vale]

I dont see why china wouldnt invade taiwan if the US collapses

theyd be basically unstoppable

[dense quail]

Because there's more countries than the U.S.? China wants good relations with the EU and is obviously patching things up around EA as we've seen with a literal historic trade deal.

[gilded vale]

so why are they trying to say they will invade taiwan

doesnt seem like a great idea if you want to have good relations with people lmao

[strange elk]

Trade deals feels like such an antiquated phrase

[dense quail]

China won't invade Taiwan, at least not in today's climate because they don't need to. Like it or not the CCP are incredibly efficient

[dense quail]

Is this gaslighting?

[gilded vale]

mf they built taiwan invasion barges

youre the one gaslighting people into thinking china doesnt want any part of taiwan

[dense quail]

...and countries have built nukes, gonna fly tomorrow are they?

[strange elk]

If they are efficient why have a pissing contest with weaponry tbh

[idle nymph]

If they invade Taiwan I'll just call in my buddy Keith

[gilded vale]

taiwan invasion barges are literally only meant to invade taiwan

[dense quail]

Because showing strength as a super power is important

[dense quail]

Real.

[gilded vale]

if you build a nuke thats very versatile

[dense quail]

That's the point of them publically showing they have them and flaunting them

[idle nymph]

It's called soft power

[dense quail]

Ding ding ding

[gilded vale]

but theyre literally useless except for the invasion of taiwan

the only country that would care is taiwan

[dense quail]

No, they're useful in showing that China can and is prepared to invade and having people like you think that's 100 percent going to happen. I have no problem with admitting it's a possibility but saying it's an undeniable fact is horseshit

[strange elk]

Man FedEx is higher than I am I swear.

[dense quail]

Hence why I found Linus's take weird

[idle nymph]

China is like a level 100 crook flexing on a level 5 gangling

[simple stirrup]

hello

[dense quail]

To show the world that they're capable of expanding

[gilded vale]

im just confused cause youre saying china is trying to build relations but also doing stuff thats antithetical to that

[dense quail]

But this is getting away from us and clogging pub chat

[strange elk]

I love it when conglomerate masses expand

[gilded vale]

personally, every country not being prepared to deal with an invasion of taiwan is a terrible idea

the US should NOT stop domestic foundry expansion and should try to build it up as soon as possible

[dense quail]

You have to show strength as a superpower, no world leader is batting an eye at it since they're acutely aware of what China is trying to do and it's working. Visa exemptions for EU citizens, trade deals with Korea and Japan, a great look on the international stage by opposing Trump. They've got all the cards and they're not going to throw their hand by invading some Island that's irrelevant at the moment to them.

By the time they actually get around to it it'll be completely moot since fab production world wide is ramping up

This is like basic political theory

[gilded vale]

I mean you can say that but we can point to russia and how they fumbled the bag

[strange elk]

Damn anyone can look good just by opposing the US rn tbh.

[dense quail]

Who said they're not prepared? They're actively preparing

[gilded vale]

why are they doing that if china isnt gonna invade taiwan

[dense quail]

Russias invasion of Ukraine had so many precursors that you had to be as dumb as a rock (or Hassan) to think it was just smoke and mirrors

[dense quail]

I'm not explaining the same thing to you over and over.

[gilded vale]

im saying the russian invasion was a huge loss and had no upsides at all

so politically it was a death sentence

[dense quail]

Preparing for something as a country doesn't mean it's 100 percent going to or not going to happen...

[dense quail]

Politically Putin is a war criminal who doesn't care. Big difference between Russia and Modern China

I feel like we're at a brick wall here and I'd love to continue this, but not here.

[gilded vale]

I agree there, china is def a lot more competent

[dense quail]

Aye

[strange elk]

Also with Taiwan you kinda stand to gain more. But IDC to talk about this kinda stuff either lol

[gilded vale]

I mean im just a random dude not really a poltical genius but imo linus's statement wasnt "dumb"

[dense quail]

It was in that he said it's an absolute certainty

[strange elk]

If it hasn't happened you can't really definitely say its going to.

[dense quail]

I have no problem with people claiming it's likely to happen in the future, but to claim it's an absolute is dumb and not really supported by anything right now

[dense quail]

Pretty much, that's why I disliked it

[gilded vale]

sure but linus is linus its not like hes leader of a country

[strange elk]

He's also an influencer. Talking politics

[gilded vale]

its not like people started buying tons of intel stock after that statement (although some people probably did lol)

[dense quail]

I agree, but he's not above critique and I thought it was a strange thing to say or to word it that way. Very off the cuff without really knowing what he's on about.

He's very well informed in terms of tech and tariffs due to his business but he kinda drops the ball when he tries to comment on things like this.

I like Linus, I actively listen to the wan show and give them my money. I disliked the statement he made

[dense quail]

Some literally did

[gilded vale]

Yeah I can agree that he shouldnt have made it seem like a certainty ig

[dense quail]

Which is hilarious in its own right

[gilded vale]

some people cant be saved lol

[dense quail]

But I don't blame Linus for that. He's not a financial advisor and has said as much

[gilded vale]

but hey at least intel isnt a memecoin or something

speaking of which it seems like crypto scams are nigh legal nowadays

[dense quail]

I read about that guy who lost 2 mill worth of doge recently

Didn't the hawk tuah woman get in trouble for that?

Or was she just publically shamed

[strange elk]

If India, Korea, China, Russia and SA can do it why can't I

[gilded vale]

no the SEC dropped the case and Trevor Milton (guy who scammed investors) got a full pardon by the president

[dense quail]

Ah I see, more dystopic news. Next you'll tell me the U.S. president pulled one of the largest inside training jobs of all time and stole money from the middle class to line his billionaire buddies wallets

[gilded vale]

funny you say that...

[gilded vale]

if you think regular tesla stock is volatile, wait til you see what 3x leveraged looks like 💀

[strange elk]

Day trading sounds fun. Especially rn

[gilded vale]

nah anything other than large etfs is basically gambling

[simple stirrup]

im shorting tesla purely based off this comment

[dense quail]

But my portfolio is managed by an actual professional so I dunno

[dense quail]

The stock market is basically gambling

[gilded vale]

well yeah but sp500 has a good track record

[strange elk]

Lmao

[gilded vale]

its like the least gambling way to invest into the stock market

yeah yeah historical performance doesnt indicate future gains and all that

[dense quail]

Putting your money into anything that's not the bank (still dubious) or gold is gambling

[gilded vale]

the only way to retire is to be invested in the stock market

retirement won't exist in 20-30 years

With the coming recession? Ya prolly not. We'll see

[gilded vale]

i personally am not so negative with future prospects

[dense quail]

I am.

[gilded vale]

we'll still be able to retire and have at least some sort of social security I think

Oh in like long term

[gilded vale]

knowing the new gen theyll just use tiktok to propagandize people to vote it away though

[dense quail]

I thought you meant there not being a recession

[gilded vale]

oh no I think there will be a recession for sure lol

[simple stirrup]

recession isn't too bad, but the US is headed for a depression which is very bad

[dense quail]

It's sadly imminent. China is bracing for it and I dunno if you know your history but the CCP kinda relies on economic stability and job security to keep people happy

[gilded vale]

I mean 2008 was a recession and that was horrible

[dense quail]

Japan and Korea's economy is already down the gutter

[gilded vale]

[gilded vale]

like the shirt looks like something youd find in a 5 pack

[simple stirrup]

lol

[strange elk]

6/10 kinda ass experience but alr

[dense quail]

Living in China means you can get unbranded stuff that's high quality (probably because it belonged to an actual company) pretty cheap. I have a jacket that is absolutely an unbranded cahart

[gilded vale]

why would I pay $20 for it, the 5 pack will last me 20 years anyway

[viscid elm]

i can see the ocean but i do not think i am close enough for the salt of the ocean to really do harm

but its fun to buy used stuff

im not allowed to visit china, but i would definitely buy stuff like that if i did

[winged spire]

python is ass

[nova basalt]

Hey, I had a question!

I’m looking to get more involved with tech and was wondering if anyone knew of like a dedicated program I could use to learn about how to repair and build computers?

When I was in high school, we used a program called TestOut, but I’m not sure if it’s obsolete or viable now or if people still use it to learn.

A lot of people have told me to just watch a lot of YouTube videos, but I feel like I need steered down a path to get started.

[alpine summit]

It’s fine now. The issue I was having was that I have a locally run flask app, my manager at work said I cannot use the Chrome(or other browser) file upload dialogue. The flask app is always run locally, so I was going to use some other library to open file dialogues, but tkinter wouldn’t work because of a multiprocessing issue, being that whenever this dialogue needed to open would be through an endpoint, so it would not be on the “Main Thread” which is a requirement here for tkinter, so I was wondering if people had actual good alternatives. Pywin32 didn’t work either. My solution now is though to just ignore my manager because his assumptions about the issues were wrong anyways

I also tried writing a seperate program and using subprocess Popen to run that, so that it was decoupled from the original python script but disarray

Anyways yeah I am just ignoring what my manager said at this point and doing what I want (I will probably just go over his head atp)

[raven grove]

Too many words

[warped igloo]

TL;DR:
Tried to open a file dialog from a local Flask app without using the browser, but alternatives like tkinter and pywin32 didn’t work due to threading issues. Decided to ignore the restriction and just use the browser upload dialog.

google earth just got photobombed by a satellite

moved so fast the colors aint even line up lmao

wouldnt that mean the camera is black and white only with filters infront of it?

shouldnt happen with a regular full color cam afaik

[winged spire]

No

It takes a red green and blue image then overlaps them

They were moving so fast relative to eachother (probably close to 40,000mph) the frames didn’t line up

[plain gale]

yes, and this is done most effiently with filters infront of a black and white camera https://petapixel.com/2020/05/21/taking-color-photos-with-black-and-white-film/

Like others have said, it's not been heavily covered. I'm /somewhat/ tuned in and even I didn't hear about it.

Honestly? For me it's okay if it's a free game. It's a pretty big non-issue for me, but when it comes to paid games you can't then play? That's where the biggest issue is. They should bring back dedicated server hosting.

Just slap a console/menu on a game, let people host their own servers like some modders are adding to older COD titles and that's me. I think in the long run, this isn't the worst issue in the Games Industry right now. It just seems like that because people are realising it /can/ happen.

and because of Ubisoft's crappy attitude behind it

Quick question, what does the eye tracking do for you in the big screen beyond 2. Like doesn’t it just track with your head like every other vr headset what would eye tracking add

[winged spire]

Eye tracking is a cool feature that only matters if you do things that support it

Eye tracking is the BEST way to navigate menus in vr

The most natural

[austere shale]

But like as far as games go like let’s say VTOLvr would it help actually in game or is it really just nice for menus

[winged spire]

Eye tracking is also good for foverated rendering

Dunno if vtol does that

[austere shale]

Yea I got no idea, idk if it’s worth an extra $200

[winged spire]

Ima say no probably not for you

lol

Basically

It renders based on what you can actually see

Lower quality in your peripherals

Why the fuck did LTT use calibration boards instead of getting something like TMR sticks

[crude vortex]

TMR sticks or probe-based tools wouldn’t be as visually intuitive for casual viewers.

[strange elk]

You can calibrate dualsense using a browser tool

[strange elk]

You are still soldering

I mean they mention halls IG but just.. Weird.

Also like the lights are kinda just

Why

[crude vortex]

Yes, but you’re assuming LTT wants precise calibration, they’re aiming for viewer clarity. A browser tool or TMR stick gives numbers. A bright-ass calibration board gives content.

[plain gale]

[tame meadow]

Hey fellas!
im sorry to bother you, but could somone please help me with my pc build?
i need to know if its good or if i should change smtg

[viscid elm]

Send the pcpart picker link

[plain gale]

cant wait for someone to bloat it to 120% of the original value

[vapid wharf]

hi!

[tame meadow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q9qq9C

please note that i am a complete noob, and thats why im here 😄

[viscid elm]

Are you in the US

[tame meadow]

nope

[viscid elm]

Top right flag, press it

Also the entire list does not make sense, a 7800x3d and 5070 lime wtf and so on

[tame meadow]

a few notes i have:
im really uncertain about the RAM as of what i heard the 7800x3d sweetspot is 6000 mhz
the mobo is too expensive in my opinion

[tame meadow]

whats the problem with that cpu and gpu?

[plain gale]

what kinda monitor do you have? and what kinda games do you play

[viscid elm]

Just get a very cheap b650 and 6000mt cl30 to 36 ram

[tame meadow]

black myth wukong, d4, bo6, wow, lol, elden ring and some more

[crude vortex]

+1

[viscid elm]

Why not go for something like a rx 9070 xt

[tame meadow]

np, gimme a couple of mins to read their description and ill get back to you with some questions
(im really trying to learn)

[tame meadow]

cant afford it, i found the rtx 5070 for 560$

my first question is, the pcie 5 is supposed to be extremly fast right?
so if my ssd supports pcie 5 and my gpu too, shouldnt i go for a mobo with m.2 pcie 5 for the ssd and pcie 5 4x16 for the gpu?

and i gotcha about the ram not needing to be more than 6000 mhz, is there any point in EXPO? @viscid elm

[viscid elm]

Pcie 5.0 is Bellshill

[viscid elm]

Expo is ram spesificly made to be best for amd

[tame meadow]

so its a setting i change in the bios that does what?
increases XXX at the cost of XXX?

[viscid elm]

Pcie 5.0 is so bad most tend to turn it off or not use anything of it

Just get the cheapest ddr5 6000mt cl30 to 36 sticks

[tame meadow]

the lower cas the better right?

[viscid elm]

Eh yeah but just do not spend a lot on it

Expo and xmp does not really matter too

What the hell is this bullshit? Where’s the other 10 videos that should take up this space?!

No setting to change it

[fossil frost]

Platform slightly changes it's UI, and people cry about it because they think that they know better than multi billion dollar companies with larger research budgets than many countries

[strange elk]

Dude I hate android 15s settings

[edgy lava]

i have a 240mm top on my case and 360mm on front, should i get a 240mm aio for i7 14700k or, a 340mm aio on front

[strange elk]

Like why

[strange elk]

I do, I run Linux.

[daring bridge]

Yo i have a ryzen 7 5700g and an rtx 3050 6gb what gpu should i upgrade to?

[edgy lava]

3060

[fossil frost]

That works with any company with enough layers of middle management, or, not enough people. It's quite easy to defraud companies if you know how

[daring bridge]

I think an rx 7700xt

[edgy lava]

idk anything abt amd gpus

im upgrading to a i7 14700k from an i3 friday 😭

[daring bridge]

But i can go up to an rtx 4070 ti super with my gpu

[daring bridge]

Nice

[edgy lava]

but i need an aio and i can only fit 240 on top

[daring bridge]

Then search for 240mm aios

There are plenty on amazon

[edgy lava]

but 340 could fit in front but idk if thats better than 240 on top

[daring bridge]

No 240 on top is better

[edgy lava]

ok bet ill just do that then

[daring bridge]

Alr

[edgy lava]

prec8 it

[daring bridge]

But no more rtx 3060s here because that card is 2 generations old

[viscid elm]

What is wrong with that

[echo sluice]

[viscid elm]

My laptop has one that is 3

[daring bridge]

Whell i have a 5700g and i asked for a gpu

Not a 3069

[viscid elm]

Upgrade the cpu

Oof ok yeah gpu first

[daring bridge]

I have ordered an rx 7700xt and ill be fine

[strange elk]

Lmao

[viscid elm]

It will

7700 xt is pretty decent

[daring bridge]

Yeah

[manic torrent]

I am downgrading to a 5600x and 6600xt

[viscid elm]

Very good Bob

[daring bridge]

From what combo?

[manic torrent]

5700x/3080ti

[daring bridge]

Why tho?

[manic torrent]

And I'm not getting rid of the 3080ti

[viscid elm]

Ai

[manic torrent]

I'm just spending more time gaming via moonlight

[echo sluice]

nope its real

[manic torrent]

So I'm going to setup a gaming VM on my server

[daring bridge]

Is 32GB of ddr4 good for 7700xt?

[viscid elm]

Yes

[daring bridge]

No upgrade for the ram needed

[echo sluice]

[daring bridge]

What psu do i need for 5700g and 7700xt

[manic torrent]

Not much. I'd probably get a 750W

[daring bridge]

I already have 750 watts

[viscid elm]

Xd

[strange elk]

Well good thing its not a 5090

[manic torrent]

Then you're gold

[daring bridge]

Any monitor recomendations for competitive games and 1440p?

[viscid elm]

M27q

And if you do not have that check rtings for one

[daring bridge]

Okay

I have a 144 hz 1080 monitor i want to upgrade from 27 inches btw

Do you need 3 monitors or is 2 fine? Bc i see all creators run 3 or more

[viscid elm]

Worst case if you feel you need more then just get more later on

[manic torrent]

That's the previous version of the tablet I just bought in the same controller I have

[strange elk]

I mean 1 is fine but at least 2 is ideal.

[manic torrent]

Three you have an extra for extra stuff. Two is typical.

Look what I’ve just found it’s been laying in a box never used… im freaking tf out holy shit

That radiates big virgin energy

[heavy linden]

Anything I find in this house I can keep it belonged to a guy who owned the local computer and radio company in this area so it’s a goldmine

[heavy linden]

Trust bro it’s insane

128mb vram! Man that's crazy

[heavy linden]

I know right

[civic fox]

i would say this holds up decently

[quiet veldt]

I got my wife a kindle and it turns out, Kindle Unlimited kinda pads out their selection with a bunch of slop that no one wants to read so, is anyone willing to dm me with some assistance on that

[fossil frost]

Rather than asking for a personal assistant, just ask the question you want to ask. Then maybe someone will answer it. Asking for DM always translates to "you will be my personal assistant, for free, for all issues relating to this in the future". Which is why people don't do it

[quiet veldt]

I didn't want to get muted or kicked out for asking someone where to pirate PDFs, man. I figured that was pretty obvious

[fossil frost]

Asking people to go to DMs to help you do that is equally against the rules

[plain gale]

search on youtube how to "jailbreak" it and after that there is a big subreddit dedicated to what you're after

[fossil frost]

Not directly related to piracy. But you get an email address associated with every kindle. And you can email epub and mobi files to it. PDFs too I think. And they will appear on the device. No matter where you got those files from

[plain gale]

oh didnt know about that, though it wouldnt surprise me if amazon is tracking all that

[quiet veldt]

As far as I read, it doesn't seem like they do a lot to combat anything you send to your device since you can just upload a PDF to the thing. I'm sure they have the money and power to track back the origin of the file but whether or not they do doesn't seem very obvious

Which means they probably just don't

[willow bramble]

You can jail break your kindle too these days

[quiet veldt]

I'm in the process. PC isn't picking it up, though, which is unfortunate. Not sure what that's about.

[willow bramble]

That would allow you to upload pdfs epubs etc directly to device

[quiet veldt]

What a weird way to find out that my front USB-C doesn't transfer data

[weak basin]

hiiiiiiiiiiiii

[viscid elm]

no

[strange elk]

I always wanted a kindle as a kid

Fuck amazon

[amber tiger]

Don't you want it anymore?

[strange elk]

Not really. Think I'd rather buy actual books.

[quiet veldt]

I was on that boat and then I realized I'm too materialistic. I get all weird about whether or not the pages are being creased

I got a leatherbound copy of Dune and had an involuntary freak out when my cat sat on it

[iron bramble]

does fsr work on it too?

[strange elk]

Been thinking about the copy of Under the Dome my grade school librarian gifted me. I tore that thing up and I dread finding it tbh because I didn't take care of it. But I want to. Honestly one of the more meaningful gifts I got. For me its not about materialism rather than just.. Tech problems. Books just feel better and they never have telemetry

[civic fox]

yes it does

[iron bramble]

how does it compare

[civic fox]

i can do a test

[iron bramble]

cuz I have a 40 series but sometimes still use fsr in older games without dlss

[civic fox]

i'll do a test at quality 1440p ultra

@iron bramble looks pretty decent too

[strange elk]

I've been picking up epubs though to read eventually.

[iron bramble]

nice

pretty decent performance

[civic fox]

yea surprisingly at native it stays in the 50s and 40s with hitting 65 every now and then
