[rugged marten]

hi

[zealous granite]

Perchance

[modern cove]

Is this a question for the form?

It's fine.

[zealous granite]

Ive honestly been wondering if its even worth upgrading this pc or if i should just start a new build and transfer over a few things its starting to feel outdated in games

It works great for most things the 2060 is a powerful card combined with the amd ryzen 5

[modern cove]

How much are you willing to sell it for?

[zealous granite]

I dont know man it was 1200 when i built it

[modern cove]

Cad?

[zealous granite]

Usd

[modern cove]

Oh. How old is it?

[zealous granite]

I built it in like 2021 i think

[full fossil]

.

[modern cove]

Oh ok. Understandable why. With the extreme prices

[knotty plover]

I DONT WANT TO OPEN CURA

FFS

[zealous granite]

Yeah back then the 30 series was just becoming a thing

[knotty plover]

DONT SPEND AN HOUR LOADING

[zealous granite]

So i found a gigabyte 2060 for supa cheap and went with it

[modern cove]

Ah. Ok. Idk, probably because I got into tech when 40 series was mid way, 20 series feels really old. Like it should be 2016.

I've not been in tech for a full GPU cycle

[zealous granite]

The 20 series is perfectly capable of running games at 1440p 60fps most of the time. It struggles with some stuff but overall ive never noticed it being impossible to play a game even with the graphics pretty high

[full fossil]

gpu cycles suck

[zealous granite]

Im honestly thinking if switching to amd but my system is so integrated with geforce at this point it would be kind of a pain to switch over i feel

[modern cove]

Id buy a 2080. All I have is a 1080p monitor

[ruby bloom]

When do we get LTT Store "Market Pricing"

[full fossil]

id do amd but i want 8k stuff

[zealous granite]

I dont even know if my power supply can support a card that big. I think im limited to 2060 or 3070?

2070*

2070 or 3070

[modern cove]

Well I'm going to start from scratch.

[modern cove]

Could you go wild and get a 4070Ti?

[zealous granite]

I dont have that type of money laying around at the moment im just looking for a cheap performance boost

My cpu never struggles really its just my gpu

[modern cove]

Ah. Wait. What's stopping you from a 2090?

[zealous granite]

Those exist?

[hot tartan]

it doesn't exist

[modern cove]

Idk

[hot tartan]

the highest consumers saw was a 2080 Ti

[modern cove]

Ah. Ok. My bad

[zealous granite]

What i said earlier is i dont think my vs450 powrr supply can handle a 80 or 90 sized card i think it would cap out safely at a 60 or 70

[civic fox]

i like my 3070, keep in mind 8gb of vram is going out the door, regardless if AMD or Nvidia keeps making them.

[zealous granite]

Wdym by that

[civic fox]

8gb of vram is starting to be or has already started not being enough for newer games.

[zealous granite]

Oh

[modern cove]

I think he's saying it'll be out of date

[zealous granite]

Im pretty sure my 2060 is 6gb of vram iirc

And i think thats where my main problem lies

[civic fox]

the 3070 has great raw raster performance though, i upgraded from 10 series.

[zealous granite]

The chip is capable but its pretty limited in a 60 board

Too good to be true?

[ember mason]

must be just the cooler with no core

[supple pawn]

I was one of the dummies who bought a Red Devil 7900xtx limited edition

Its in need of a repaste ATM, but one of the screws has ahead with the Phillips slots rounded, so I know once its off it won't go back in. Problem being idk where to get a replacement.

[junior wyvern]

you know i kinda wish steam gave the option to have save game files stored locally instead of cloud storage cause I tried to play hitman, got to the 4th ish checkpoint, it crashed and now wont boot the game at all. PAIN, and i dont know what the reason for it is, maybe just cause its a really old game, idk

[ember mason]

3070ti can run 2100mhz with a crazy memory overlock with no stability issues

[civic fox]

my 3070 runs like 2065mhz

i dont remember what the memory is though

[ember mason]

my memory runs at 10682mhz

[midnight pumice]

Interestingly enough I discovered an issue with my new pc

If I power it off using the power button, it won't turn back on until I turn the PSU off and back on again

[oak pier]

10ghz is wild

[oak pier]

#1027757333117415424

[midnight pumice]

I don't need support. Just thought it was interesting. I haven't seen that in 15+ years of computer work

[oak pier]

idk what it’s trying to claim with “10682Mhz” but it ain’t right

[ember mason]

+1180 on memory

[oak pier]

1180mhz is a believable number given the stock base clock is 1188Mh

[ember mason]

it doesnt get hot or have any artifacts

[rustic tundra]

i would upgrade that

30 series is aging

[oak pier]

3070ti is perfectly fine for most people

[viscid elm]

1440p monitor walks into the room

[oak pier]

won’t run amazingly in recent titles, but in older titles on med-high settings it’ll be fine

[ember mason]

for me its great

[rustic tundra]

1440 in the big 25 💔

[ember mason]

i cant complain

[oak pier]

most people are still rocking 1080p, 1440p is nice

[rustic tundra]

im rocking something better

[ember mason]

i just got a 1440p 300hz monitor and now im wondering what i should upgrade to

[rustic tundra]

something that costs as much as my gpu

[civic fox]

powers my 1440p monitor just fine.

[ember mason]

before my 3070ti was fine for 1440 165hz

[civic fox]

runs my monitors just fine, actually amazed at the performance compared to my 10 series card.

[ember mason]

what aib card do you have?

[civic fox]

i have the ASUS tuf 3070, with a OC in place.

[rustic tundra]

i am one of those few who do 4k

maybe you should go 40 or 50 series

[civic fox]

i plan to go for a 4070ti or a 4080 eventually.

[rustic tundra]

why not 5080

[civic fox]

idk, driver issues probably. probably costs the same as a 4080 anyway.

seems to even out at around 1600 or so.

[zealous barn]

Subnautica coming to mobile !

[strange elk]

30 series is aging? Lmao

[civic fox]

i mean they still work perfectly fine regardless. 8gb of vram is just limiting me thats all.

[viscid elm]

ngl dam impressive what phones can do now a days, only a few years ago my laptop that i got brand new for my birth day barely managed to play it, now most phones should be able to run it

[ruby bloom]

Most people are buying older hardware as it's cheaper and similar preformance.

It's like how most people bought 20 series durring the 30 series launch

[harsh quartz]

Weird game to put on mobile but aight

[harsh quartz]

That was cause you couldn’t find a 3070 for anything less than 4x MSRP

[gusty oasis]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/rtx-5090-falls-below-msrp-for-the-first-time-ever

There must be some deception here

[rustic tundra]

lies spread by amd propaganda

its amd with issues that i see the most

[civic fox]

no, i had the same driver issues on my 3070 and had to downgrade.

[rustic tundra]

skill issue

havent had ANY issues

[civic fox]

good for you, heres a

[rustic tundra]

i dont understand what type of issues people encounter

they only say "driver issues" and thats it

what issues??!???????

[echo sluice]

driver issues

[rustic tundra]

i only see amd people with issues

[echo sluice]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1114662209860153456/1184235333601218660/gpdfgdfggdgfddfdf.gif

[rustic tundra]

like screen artifacts

games running shit sometimes

[civic fox]

crashes, games having graphical bugs, and completely crashing windows sometimes.

find a last known stable driver and stay there lol

[rustic tundra]

i havent had windows crash in ages

no graphical bugs

must be you

defective unit

[civic fox]

not just me, there are hundreds of people having issues. your just a nvidia shill.

[rustic tundra]

youre*

and i am no shill i am just saying that i did not encounter any bad things

if you dislike nvidia that much go amd

youll have more issues

[civic fox]

well, just because YOU don't encounter issues, does not mean they don't exist.

[viscid elm]

funny enough i have not seen a lot of amd people in tech support, most of the time they tend to be doing some pretty dumb stuff as why they had issues, but with nvidia i have seen everything from gtx 1650 to anything really having issues

its so funny, time and time again i say rtx 5000 cards have issues, people buy em, and ofc they have major issues and return it for a amd card

well or just live with it and unable to really use the pc

[rustic tundra]

i must be special with owning multiple nvidia cards with no issues

i own 2 that i use daily

no issues

as if i am expecting them

[viscid elm]

2 rtx 5000 cards?

[rustic tundra]

no

[viscid elm]

since those are the ones with the most issues

[rustic tundra]

although im thinking about a 5060 for a 3rd desktop

[viscid elm]

also any driver after 2024 is what caused other then rtx 5000 cards having major issues

god that 1650 guy was a pain to help

[rustic tundra]

i am also on a 1650

[viscid elm]

what driver

[rustic tundra]

newest drivers

[viscid elm]

hmnmmm good luck

[rustic tundra]

always newest as they roll out

it runs flawlessly

[viscid elm]

well that other guy was not as lucky

[rustic tundra]

same for my 4080s

no issues, always ran newest drivers

[viscid elm]

no clue what it is or anything some people just have issues

[rustic tundra]

i have no clue how the hell is it happening

[viscid elm]

if its some program on the pc that does it or if its a cpu or bios setting i got no clue it almost looks random

[viscid elm]

shitty drivers from nvidia

[rustic tundra]

maybe cpu related?

[viscid elm]

wha

[rustic tundra]

maybe chipset drivers interfering with gpu

[viscid elm]

not possible

[rustic tundra]

who knows 😭

[viscid elm]

it gets fixed by a ddu

well removing the nvidia driver

[rustic tundra]

wait so

[viscid elm]

then installing anything before 2025

[fierce moth]

god damn

[rustic tundra]

do these people usually have problems when upgrading from a previous gpu?

[viscid elm]

nope

[fierce moth]

the psp is wifi 1

[viscid elm]

never had any issues

[rustic tundra]

i used the 1650 in my main rig for fun

no issues

[viscid elm]

like i said no clue why or who but it happens

the major rec now is just to do 566.14 or 36

also 566.14 tends to have way more performance at times

[civic fox]

my stable driver is 576.02.

[rustic tundra]

i am on the newest one

576.52

i was confused when ive seen videos about nvidia driver issues

and asked myself "what issues? where?"

[dusky jacinth]

I haven't either, but it was only after the switch from my old 2070S to my 7900 XT. Oddly enough, my lil' brother who ended up with that old thing had issues with his system, though it's not clear if it was just issues with the ram kit only or if it was both that and my old gpu combined.

[viscid elm]

ddu and install 566.14

[rustic tundra]

what about cpus

[viscid elm]

it cant be the cpu

[rustic tundra]

cant really say anything about that bc i have intel in both pcs

[dusky jacinth]

Before then, I've occasionally had bluescreening, frequently blackscreening , and a few others I can't exactly recall that I've had with my 2070S.

[viscid elm]

gib minidumps

[rustic tundra]

my last bsod was caused by accidentally deleting some system files

had to do a fresh windows install

[dusky jacinth]

To my recall, I was already at the latest at the time back then. It's been a year now since I've switched and so far I've had no issues that were similar since with my 7900XT.

[viscid elm]

how do you do that

[rustic tundra]

i tried deleting the windows.old folder but accidentally pressed enter on the whole drive

i exit it a second later

when i rebooted i was met with bsod that said "corrupted/missing system files" after searching it up

good part it wasnt my main pc

[jaunty compass]

my fedora install is already abominably cursed

[dusky jacinth]

I don't believe I have those anymore, especially after DDUing to install the drivers and software for my 7900 XT since I wanted things to be as clean as possible before the installation.

[jaunty compass]

gnome because it's the DE i had on the first flash drive i found

gnome? absolutely not

[solemn tundra]

hi

[civic fox]

surprisingly mine has not broke yet. (not fedora just my current install)

[jaunty compass]

I had to actively butcher mine

I'm on a laptop so i had to write scripts for power management and switching and stuff

because otherwise this laptop will boil

[civic fox]

thankfully i don't have to do that, but my fan runs constantly because ASUS sucks with laptops. this cpu is supposed to stay under 15w, but here it is drawing 45w for no reason draining the battery in less than an hour.

[jaunty compass]

this is why i did that

the cpu will just use like 50w

it'll just go

[civic fox]

i'm not smart enough to know how to fix that.

i will be throwing this laptop away when i get a new one, i seriously hate it lol.

[jaunty compass]

I had to download a program called ryzenadj and write scripts to apply a power and temp limit and some things that run when the power state changes

so at startup the cpu gets limited to 35w and 80C for the temp

and that limit also gets applied whenever the laptop is unplugged from power

[civic fox]

also asus thinks the fans need to ramp up at 50c for no reason, and they give you no way to control it.

[modern coral]

which headphones are better razer kraken x or steelseries arctis nova1????/

[jaunty compass]

I always tune my laptops pretty heavily since i never game when they're on battery

I usually limit them to like 15 watts on cpu draw and have everything use the igpu on battery

but on this one though since i was running into some stability issues when i was tuning

[civic fox]

i cant tune this one, bios has zero switches or toggles for anything. the only app for any hardware is the myasus app on windows. so i just kinda have to deal with it.

[jaunty compass]

download g-helper

it's this armory crate replacement with built in tuning stuff

[civic fox]

i mean this isnt a gaming laptop so not sure how much that would help.

[jaunty compass]

ah yeah i think all of the models this supports are gaming ones unfortunately

it's a nice piece of software

[civic fox]

it does look nice. my next laptop plans to be gaming oriented, since i want to game outside of my own room.

[pastel marsh]

tbh 35w is a pretty high limit

my laptop when it’s on battery gets limited to 12 for the entire computer

[molten drift]

I'm so hyped. My mom got me an anniversary set of one of my favorite book series. And got it at about 1/3 the eBay cost.

[silver sun]

495

[jaunty compass]

it has a 6900HS

[civic fox]

it has some functionality

so theres that i guess

[jaunty compass]

Oh, you might actually be able to tune wattage limits over there with the power and fan settings

That's where you go to tune custom limits

[civic fox]

oh damn

your right, let me mess with this

[analog rivet]

there is no difference between my xbox turning on and a steam trainengine from 1900s

[civic fox]

how is this related to the screenshot? i could not be more confused.

[full fossil]

dont drink purple

[civic fox]

aww man, thats crap.

[jaunty compass]

Damn You don't have access to the fine tuning settings I don't think

[jaunty compass]

That's unfortunate

[full fossil]

could prolly flash a bios if ur bored and wanna break it

[jaunty compass]

You would be surprised. How many laptops have completely corrupted bioses and end up in the bin

Ever since they added bios updates to Windows updates

[civic fox]

yea this is something this laptop needs, the fans need a big reset. the way they are setup out of box are awful.

and there are no tools that work with it.

[full fossil]

ive assembly lined thousands of laptoos never really had any major bios issues

but i wasnt flashing custom stuff

[jaunty compass]

I bought a big lot of return laptops and several of them were in that return lot because of corrupted bioses

[civic fox]

those are fixable tho?

[full fossil]

weird lot it happens

[full fossil]

bios can be fixable it depends on a lot of factors

usually for consumer it is nit fixable

[civic fox]

ah i suppose thats true.

[jaunty compass]

This is only a problem because Microsoft added bios updates to Windows updates and people do not respect Windows updates, if they are impatient, they will turn the computer off

[jaunty compass]

It's easily fixable with the right Hardware, but most people don't own bios Flashers

The people who end up in the situation where they have a corrupted bios are the people who don't know that turning your computer off during updates could do that, and definitely don't have the technical knowledge to know it's a BIOS problem and that it can be easily fixed

[full fossil]

you can do a lot to a bios with a volt meter and a nice pair of glasses 🙂

[ancient hamlet]

Hey guysss

Am I able to talk about tech here

😂

[civic fox]

i have done that, because i refuse to listen when told 😄. i do my bios updates with a micro SD cards.

[jaunty compass]

You could also just use a $10 flash programmer

[full fossil]

depends what ur flashing but yes

[jaunty compass]

A ch347 is not expensive

It's worth it, just get one

[jaunty compass]

I usually do my bios updates with software tools but I have done a lot of direct flashing to the chips because some devices need direct flashing to be modded

Back when I used a lot of those BGA to LGA mutant CPUs had to flash Basically every motherboard I got

I was able to flash a gigabyte b365 board in software but every other board I happened to get had to be flashed with Hardware

[civic fox]

my bios has a quick flash thing inside the bios and it just needs the file on a sd card or a usb stick.

it was quite a quick process, considering i held off updating because i thought it was gonnna fry itself.

[jaunty compass]

Because I'm usually flashing modded bioses the built-in flash tools usually don't let me use them

[civic fox]

i am going from a b660 board to a z790 now though so i wonder how different it will look even though both boards are MSI

[civic fox]

makes sense then.

[zealous granite]

Worth?

Wait wrong listing

Is 3600 ram good enough nowadays or should i spend the little extea for 4000

I want 32g ram my mobo supports up to ddr4 4400

[junior mason]

seems like a decent price

tho these days i'd be pushing for more than 32 ;-; im currently sitting at 28GB

[summer folio]

Just for using Chrome?

[pastel marsh]

so?

[jaunty compass]

So They put the stock tdp limit at 50w for this tiny ass 13" 2 in 1

[junior mason]

tbh majority of it is a derivative of chrome

[rustic tundra]

ah.

I just got a random friend request that I ignored, felt sketch

[summer folio]

Don't think Chrome has ever used more than 8GB for me.
It always crashes before that

[rustic tundra]

was down

[summer folio]

Yeah, time to rent all your games on Epic games store launcher instead

[pliant karma]

Ah so I wasn’t the only one

[ionic abyss]

why does my 1080p monitor show 3840x2160 as a supported resolution?

[heady flicker]

you might have enabled some virtual resolution settings in your GPU software

like Radeon Super Resolution on AMD GPUs, for example

[restive mirage]

[karmic wedge]

PAIN

[jaunty compass]

yeah

[karmic wedge]

cause that card goes super hard

Source: I also own one

[jaunty compass]

I used to own one i know it's a very good card

[karmic wedge]

oh

[jaunty compass]

I sold it to a friend for $400 a few months back since they needed a graphics card

[karmic wedge]

ah shoot, so you tried to double dip after finding another one for a cheap rpice?

What a shame

[jaunty compass]

I wouldn't call it double dipping, I sold my old one because i was going to get a 9070 xt but newegg cancelled my launch day order

but I still sold it to the friend anyway

[karmic wedge]

right

[jaunty compass]

so when i saw a 6950 xt for so cheap i was going to pick it up to put into the pc that the 6950 xt i had before was in

[supple pelican]

Oh ty should've thought to check the community tab

I still hope they come back soon, I wonder what their plans for it are specifically

[plain hornet]

hello yall, so i've bought a rx 6800 xt, and it's arriving next week, and my monitor is almost about to give up, should i buy a 1080p 144hz or a 1440p 75hz?

not talking about budget but more about if the graphics card is overkill in modern titles like mh wilds and wukong

[plain hornet]

😔

[molten spindle]

I personally like the crisp look of 1440p but if you are into competitive or fast paced games like FPS and Shooters you should get the highest refresh rate you can.

On the other hand if you are into games that have a slower pace with fine details the refresh rate does not matter as much as the resolution.

[plain hornet]

i'm more into other sort of games

as i said, mh wilds and wukong

also dark souls, silent hill 2, things like that

[molten spindle]

In my experience Wukong is a game where you fail lot at the start but as you notice things about bosses and learn to defeat them those finer details matter more.

[plain hornet]

in those i do feel like i'm almost forced to use 1080p due to optimization of UE5

[plain hornet]

yeah i get it, but still i feel like my graphics card can't stand it on high if u get what i mean ahahah

[molten spindle]

You could miss them because of both low resolution and because of low rate rate timing

My opinion in this case is to see if you can find a VA panel thats 1440p and 90Hz+

Do you know if there is a strong second hand market where you live?

[plain hornet]

i see, if i get the money i will since those are expensive here

second hand they are like minimal 120 bucks for a 1440p 75hz one

[plain hornet]

facebook marketplace and nothing else ahahha

[molten spindle]

If you can afford it thats what I would aim for, if you cant afford it probably go for the smoothness of a 1080p 144hz

[plain hornet]

yeah that's what i've been thinking for now

[livid trench]

ive been freed

[coral ridge]

for something like a rx 6800/rtx 3080/9060xt havent decided yet. Will a ryzen 5 5600 be fine with a cheap b450? I just want pure 1440p performance for the cheapest.

I'm having a strange issue where none of the usb ports work on boot. They only turn on in the W11 login screen.

Not a huge issue, but the "no keyboards/mouse detected" message shows up during boot, and I can't do anything in the BIOS.

[civic fox]

you deleted them

thats what happened lol

[fair estuary]

once i noticed it wasnt linus driving in the outer shots it anoyed me

[hoary zodiac]

o lol, good eye

[jagged bobcat]

Why do I do this to myself

[viscid elm]

going am5?

[jagged bobcat]

No just a case swap today, I’ve needed to do cable management for months since upgrading parts, so I thought a new case would encourage me to do it

[crisp rivet]

Hi

[hoary zodiac]

good morning

[viscid elm]

upgrding parts you mean like 5 years ago

and again that is a m-atx motherboard

[dry sluice]

My Quad Life crisis kicked in and i got an e-bike

[jagged bobcat]

I’m so confused? I know it’s an m-atx?

[kind vine]

wait mb i didnt read properly

[jagged bobcat]

We don’t all upgrade to brand new parts either 🙂

[kind vine]

that the y60?

[jagged bobcat]

It’s not it’s a CiT case (basically the rip off version)

[kind vine]

oh icic

[viscid elm]

i just cant understand changing case when the one ya got is already more then fine and also swapping 5 year old parts over

[lavish topaz]

hi

[jagged bobcat]

It was literally $30 and gave me a reason to cable manage, why is that bothering you 😂

Some people still use gtx 10 series and here you are on my back for having a 30 series get a grip bro

Figured out why my mic stopped working. They're not doing driver updates for the Yamaha ag06 anymore, last one was 2023

I might have to change my audio interface to a plug and play one KMT I really liked the ag06 aswell. Gutted.

[tender glade]

It’s very nice, I’ve been using it for about a month and a half and I’ve been enjoying it

[junior wyvern]

Here's my thing though I don't wanna spend that much money on it and then a couple years down the line it just stops working cause they don't update drivers and such, do you think that'll be a problem?

[full fossil]

thats kinda just life in general

things break

[junior wyvern]

Idk I might just be stupid and my current one is fine and I'm just doing something wrong with it cause it was working fine literally 3 weeks ago

After Microsoft banned emulators in the Microsoft Store/Retail Mode and then started handing out bans to people uploading them and handing out suspensions to people using them even though they downloaded them from the Store itself I really wasn`t expecting them to make personal developer accounts without the need for a Credit/Debit card and completely free, meaning everyone can sign up and get access to Xbox Dev Mode and emulators on Xbox for free and have no risk of a ban

[pale cave]

Really?

[oak pier]

Includes piracy tools

[pale cave]

no it does not

[oak pier]

it’s a bunch of emulators

[pale cave]

which is not piracy

[oak pier]

when you can exclusively play pirated games on many of them it is

[viscid elm]

most emulators tend to be doing illegal stuff

[pale cave]

does it mean this video is too? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ5aqx02QDI

[oak pier]

Yes (probably)

[viscid elm]

the reason why dolphin is something i can say and you can use is due to not doing that

you can also fully use it without piracy or breaking any rules

[pale cave]

Emulators are not illegal, but pirating ROM`s is

Chill chat

[dry sky]

i think there is a scammer/bot in here, i got a random friend request and the only connection to me is they're in this server

not sure how to notify a mod lol

@tender glade you may want to kick this account out

I am extremely frustrated and very disappointed

I ordered a pair of wicked cushions for my dt770’s

[mystic tundra]

is the treble even worse?

[polar fern]

They’re not even close to the same height as the one year old factory pads

I am just going to ask for a refund. I’m not even going to bother installing them.

Thought I ordered something nice for myself but nope.

not only are the pads not the same height (shorter!), but they’re also way softer and barely have any firmness to them at all

That’s great. The only way to get a refund is to send my order information to some email.

[modern cove]

What did I just watch?

[polar fern]

A helicopter

[modern cove]

But why? Can you tell what it's holding?

[polar fern]

Something for a building or a transmission tower or electrical pylon or something

[modern cove]

Hmm. I thought they were cutting trees

[polar fern]

Oh, one of those things

[modern cove]

I've never seen it before

[polar fern]

Electric utility companies use those blade attachments to trim back trees near the high-voltage pylons/lines

[modern cove]

Ohh. That makes a lot of sense

[polar fern]

Yeah, they’re super cool and extremely dangerous

Depends on which trees sometimes they simply just chop them down back to a certain distance

Is there a free phone number look up service in canada? I recently got a new phone number and I get a lot of random calls, and some of them my pixel cannot identify the callers. I'm trying to figure out who were calling this number

[modern cove]

Yo. Same.

[small cosmos]

Give TrueCaller a try

[modern cove]

I just blocked everyone or texted saying you have the wrong number

[alpine gale]

No - other than Canada 411 (which is mostly for landline numbers) there are no truly free lookup tools as these would violate Privacy Laws. Additionally, most of the paid tools are either outright shams, or rely on historical data that is unlikely accurate.

[alpine gale]

The best way to avoid spam calls and texts in 2025 is to disable call notifications or enable silent mode, turn off text notifications, and use literally any other platform than plain old telephone numbers.

Despite https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIR/SHAKEN BEING a legally require anti-spam measure, I still receive tons of spam texts and calls on a weekly basis. The problem largely stems from SS7 not being designed with much security in mind.

[alpine gale]

Don't even bother replying to texts. If it's a spammer / phishing attempt, replying to texts or answering calls just tells the bad actors that you are a real human on the other end of the number.

[modern cove]

No it was people looking for someone else. They kindly said sorry and stopped

[viscid elm]

KIRASHI hello

[mystic tundra]

ya hi kirashi

[covert cradle]

from what I've gleaned from kitboga, they just buy legit numbers from unscrupulous virtual carriers (or w/e they're called). No need to spoof those

chat what do we think of the rumored ios 26 rebrand?

[pearl loom]

hi

[wraith spruce]

hello!

[alpine gale]

As an ISO8601 enthusiast, I'm okay with companies naming their software versions on a yearly basis, as it immediately tells me if a user is running outdated / unsupported software when they ask me for help.

[wraith spruce]

well said

[grim belfry]

I think they should start using Roman numerals

iOS XIX

[sage quiver]

I think they should start counting down from 100 and skipping every 8th number

[wraith spruce]

XVIII.V.I would be crazy

Your iPhone is up to date!

You're currently running iOS XVIII.V.I

instant aneurism

[sage quiver]

They should etch the Apple Card like that too

[wraith spruce]

im a little suprised they dont call the iphones "iPhone (#th generation)" like all their other products

[sage quiver]

iPhone (Late 2025)

[alpine gale]

Please no. I already have multiple aneurisms from manufacturer's naming schemes.

Microsoft: we've released the Xbox One! (Didn't they do that back in 2001?)
EA: we've released Battlefront II... again... (Yeah, and the original was better.)
Apple: oh, you want an iPhone case? you better know which one you have!

[sage quiver]

Enter your serial number to determine case compatibility

[alpine gale]

Okay but seriously... If stores had electronic kiosks that did EXACTLY THIS, I would enter my serial number all the time. You want to help me avoid wasting my time and/or money? Sign me up!

[sage quiver]

Good way to collect legit serial numbers for nefarious purposes hmmmmmm

[livid spade]

Could someone give me some tech tips lol

[alpine gale]

While true, IMO it was a mistake for Apple to use Serial Numbers as a means of identifying and authorizing individual devices to use iMessage. Internal identifiers should be extremely hard to extract from a device.

[livid spade]

One side of the PSU cable for the CPU fits the CPU power slot but it has one header clip and the other side, the split side, 2 4 pins and an 8 pin have the thicker header clips, which DOMT fit in the PSU but they also don’t have the EXACT Cable square, curve pin alignment

I’m building a mini ITX PC

[alpine gale]

Sounds like you might need to reverse that cable. (Swap the ends you're trying to plug into the motherboard EPS CPU power connector and the "CPU" connector on the Power Supply Unit itself.) The exact make and model of motherboard and your PSU, along with photos, would help us confirm this theory.

[livid spade]

Yeah but the other side happens to fit the CPU pin pattern but it also has only 1 header clip which is the only side that fits the PSU

@alpine gale 🥺

[alpine gale]

Without more information and/or photos, I can't think of other things to suggest. You may want to create a #1027757333117415424 post (with the make + model of your hardware, and photos showing the connections) then patiently await assistance. 👍

[livid spade]

Alright, jist one more thing, the other side does fit the CPU power but it’s just not the same pin pattern

I should use it should I?

Shouldn’t

@alpine gale good news, I can use a 4 pin connector and put it in the left side of the connector

Appreciate the help

[sharp ferry]

iPad Pro m4 is probably their best naming
Better than

iPad air 11”

[grim belfry]

iPad Air 11” (69th gen)

[sharp ferry]

Calling a product by its chip name is probably the best to differentiate them

[alpine gale]

This only works for companies like Apple though. Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc. can't really do this because they have too many models / series lineups.

[woven wharf]

microcenter santa clara soft opening today

imma go and check it out tmr

either i get the free usb and leave or get either a 3d printer or a vr headset

[livid spade]

What printer 👀

[calm swan]

dells new laptop naming scheme is absolutely garbage

[sharp ferry]

The pro max ones?

[calm swan]

yes

inspiron xps latitude precision made much more sense

[alpine gale]

No no you see, it's quite simple. You just need the Dell Pro Max Plus Ultra Premium Pro Mega Max laptop!

(To be fair... it's not much different than Apple's...)

[woven wharf]

honestly ive never used one as a personal printer before so ill most likely look around

[calm swan]

except apples laptop naming scheme makes sense
air = thin everyday machine
pro = more powerful

i'd argue their cpu naming scheme is fine too, better than amds laptop naming rn

[livid spade]

Would recommend an Ender 3 if you want a challenge 😂 or you can get a bambulab A1 mini which is jist plug and play and the easiest thing in the world, prints almost perfectly every time, I DOMT think they would have bambulab tho, probably some nice creality ones tho

Like the K1

[woven wharf]

oh lala

I might just go with a vr headset for an excuse of excercise

but then again i wear percription glasses

[livid spade]

Oh so they do have like every big brand

For a VR I would recommend a Meta Quest 3 or 3s (cheaper)

You can get prescription lenses I believe

[woven wharf]

that vr headset dont need to be plugged into the pc anymore?

[livid spade]

Nope, it is optional tho

It has its own operating software

But you can also play steam vr etc with a cable or Airlink

[woven wharf]

ah

[livid spade]

If you want an even cheaper option for Meta, the Quest 2 is still not a bad headset, would recommend 3s or 3 tho

Lmk what yiu end up getting lol

[woven wharf]

alr alr i will

most likely going to end up just getting the free usb and dip lol

[hybrid echo]

iPhone SE are good phones

[woven wharf]

since ive spent too much on a pc already

also, how in the world is PNY more expensive than asus

[hybrid echo]

I have one and gf I believe a pixel 6a I think? I would recommend SE any day

[livid spade]

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[supple pawn]

I'd love to get a Quest 3. I have a rift S. Or had, I guess. It collects dust these days.

Problems now being I don't want to give Meta any money. Also I can see support for VR on Linux being a large problem.

Also outdated hardware

[livid spade]

I see where you are coming from, personally I love my Quest 3, upgrade from a 2, as long as you have the meta app and steam VR yiu SHOULD be okay but I’m not too sure, I domt use Linux

[supple pawn]

Meta app is the issue

No native support on Linux.

[livid spade]

Yikes

Is there an online version? Can you run it through google or something? Would that help at all?

Even if it doesn’t work, there is still hundreds of apps that you can run through the headset alone

But still only get it if it matches what you need

[sharp ferry]

isnt linux pretty bad at vr support

[strange elk]

Eh kinda not really/its improving

You don't need the meta app on windows even if you use ALVR or virtual desktop. Oh yeah also SteamLink. I ditched the oculus app as soon as I upgraded from the rift S, much better IMO even if the dash was nice

On Linux for quest you'll generally use WiVRn. Steams support on linux is currently hit or miss, that much is definitely true

Envision to do tweaks like using xrizer instead of opencomposite. Look for the Linux VRDB for compatibility details

Vronlinux

Personally resonite and vrchat have been completely playable, beat saber is good and has its own modding app called BSManager, no mans skys support got better in the past couple months, I had issues with bonelab but I haven't tried that in a bit. I think Alyx was fine

You can overclock the new 3ds to run in new 3ds mode in all games; by default it only runs at higher clocks in specific games to ensure compatibility

[pastel marsh]

you can overclock the new 3ds to run inside of stock parameters

[jaunty compass]

Yeah, but it's considered overclocking since you're running it higher than it's supposed to be able to in those scenarios

[pastel marsh]

50/50 i see what youre saying and i agree but calling it overclocking as in like conventional overclocking its kinda not true

kinda like callin xmp overclocking

[jaunty compass]

xmp is overclocking lol

[bitter harbor]

https://www.macrumors.com/2025/05/28/apple-ios-26/

Like, why?!

[jaunty compass]

intel and amd consider xmp and expo overclocking

[jaunty compass]

26 is a bigger number than 19

so it's better, clearly

[pastel marsh]

fellas is it overclocking to run your memory in their claimed sweet spot

[oak pier]

technically yes

[pastel marsh]

to me its misleading to state that d5 6k is the optimal speed to run at while simultaneously for real voiding the warranty of the user

[oak pier]

shouldn't void the warrant of anything to run XMP/EXPO afaik

[pastel marsh]

it used to for suresies

but they never cared

because its hard to tell and...its pretty fucked up to...

[oak pier]

how would they even know if you used expo/xmp with your ram?

[pastel marsh]

exactly lol

how do they even know if i change the mutliplier myself they dont

[oak pier]

i mean worst case scenario you just completely omit that

[bleak lava]

Honestly, I'm disappointed in this year's Secret Shopper outcome, purely because of all purchasing problems they had that were unrelated to the quality of the machines, but that did lead to an undeserving winner. No offense to Ms. Kateson, she did wonderful, but I really don't understand what went wrong with Starforge's website that she ended up going with a machine that was woefully under the 1500 USD budget...

[jaunty compass]

They don't unless you tell them

They totally used it as an excuse to avoid customers warranties at one point

[gilded isle]

hi, what are opinions on buying a 5070ti card? Does it matter if it's the cheapest or like a higher price point?
I see the gaming oc version from gigabyte has vapor chamber and such while the eagle oc has like heatpipes and the windofrce doesn't say anything.
Is the generic windforce going to become a bbq grill in usage? Is it worth spending the extra 100-150 euro from the base windforce to the gaming oc?
Thanks

[bleak lava]

And that's not the only machine that went down due to purchasing problems. multiple contestants had to be bought more than once because the credit card was denied, and then that Amazon Reseller kerfuffle also bricked another contestant

[supple pawn]

It is unfortunate that the results were skewed by Amazon Marketplace issues, credit card issues, and very limited availability in the price range. I do understand why those results were kept, however.

The fact that product availability was such an issue across the board means its a systemic issue which is going to affect the average consumer, thus it should be included in the final results.

Also, sending your customers to Amazon to buy the PC rather than selling it directly is asking for trouble with shady resellers and scammers. The SI may not directly have caused the shady reseller kerfuffle, but they are still responsible for sending their customer to Amazon in the first place.

And in the case of Starforge, if their website is such that customers are getting confused and ordering the wrong thing, that's on them. If they're not going to have a way to call them for help, then for fucks sake, they're website should be so simple a 90 year old grandpa who's never used a computer can figure it out.

Sorry about the rant btw

[harsh quartz]

Is it to line up the software versions with years?

There doesn't appear to be more behind them, and those prices are still insane

[woven wharf]

oh they have em in the back
i saw someone checking out the astral wc

but yeah the price is crazy

i think the standard pricing now is around 3k for the 5090

dont think they'll be lowering it any time soon

hi

[strange elk]

I like keepass but I think bitwarden would just be easier. Any negatives to switching to them?

[civic fox]

i use them, works well no issues

[dreamy otter]

I use Bitwarden (Vaultwarden self hosted)- love it

Can even put 2FA codes into Vaultwarden

[strange elk]

I don't want to self host it for now

Don't have the proper setup for it, why I used keepass in the first place tbh. Was planning to use their servers for now

[dreamy otter]

Still great

[grim belfry]

Their hosting is like $10/year, very much worth not having to worry about self hosting it

107 functional body cams for 10$

[uneven stirrup]

This has to be a crime WTH… $2599-$2999 for a 4090??

[vapid smelt]

gotta pay that premium for the extra vram

[visual oasis]

hm

[radiant garden]

why aren't they buying 5090s

[noble gazelle]

3 graphics drivers 1 computer ... will it work? We have the integrated graphics on the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X then we have the Nvidia RTX 3080 TI then we have the Intel Arc A310 and yes I know it looks tiny compared to the 3080 TI

[zealous granite]

Should i install my new amd graphics drivers before putting the new card in or after? Im currently on a 2060 gonna be swapping over

[rustic tundra]

the gpu can display no problem without drivers so install after putting the gpu in

[blissful isle]

I checked on DeleteMe and they do not serve all countries, namely Norway in my case.
Their website says Please send us a note with your countries of interest and we will let you know once service has been added there.
Except it does not actually say how to get notified.

Does anyone know how to sign up for such a notification?

[compact fiber]

hi\

[vapid smelt]

why you no turn off

[noble gazelle]

because I think its useful

[vapid smelt]

now people will know you are a broke android user

[noble gazelle]

$2800 is not broke

[noble gazelle]

and imo Android is better than Apple ( ||Apple is rotten to the core|| )

I guess everyone needs something to believe in. I’m surprised you chose that.

[vapid smelt]

my pixel 9 agrees with the satire video

[rustic tundra]

and people say iphones are expensive

the ultra is that much?

thats double what i paid for my 15 pro

[vapid wharf]

Wait till you discover NVIDIA's workstation cards

[mystic tundra]

if people are willing to pay, apple will supply those expensive phones it’s that simple

[winged spire]

Samsung sells a 2500$ phone

[vapid wharf]

2800 bucks for S25 Ultra is overpriced.

[mystic tundra]

and it also makes me worry that apple could potentially separate the ultra, pro and standard iphones apart

like you know what nvidia did to their gpus

[winged spire]

Samsung is far worse than Apple thogub

[mystic tundra]

yes samsung is worse in this regard

[vapid wharf]

If you spend 2800 bucks on S25 Ultra (the phone costs around 1200-1400 tops), you're not broke, you're stupid.

[winged spire]

I mean in general

[vapid wharf]

Huawei triple fold is 3 grand

[mystic tundra]

S non ultra now feels or is treated like A series

[winged spire]

Plenty of good Android phones, but Samsung sucks
