I got my pc38x for free from a giveaway

[unreal dagger]

Best wired headphones i have are koss

[vapid torrent]

I hate IEMs

I use momentum 4s in the gym and they sound really nice

[pliant karma]

Lol I got some recently. Not bad I just gotta get use to them

Mixing their use with my hifiman he4xx and sennheiser hd560s

[raw cargo]

After I got used to mine it was hard for me to use any other set of earbuds lol

[unreal dagger]

I haven’t tried iems i have used good wired earbuds though

[raw cargo]

Mow I have the cmf buds 2 pro for gym tho

They sound so flat compared to the IEMs

[keen cedar]

I have AirPods Pro 2 for out and about

Transparency mode is my goat

[runic sierra]

I was sold on ear pods for the longest time. And honestly if I was at work and wanted to browse stuff I might still use 'em just for ease of use and transparency mode. But for everything else? Even cheap IEM's sound so much better.

[keen cedar]

I really don’t care about sound quality that much I’m half deaf anyways

[runic sierra]

Way louder too.

[keen cedar]

But the autistic deaf not the actual deaf

[primal cairn]

Hi, anyone here using the new LG 5k2k Oled?

[keen cedar]

I listen to music purely to keep my brain from backtracking 20k times in a minute

[raw cargo]

The one on my cmf is nice too, and it was 50 bucks on discount lol

And it has a clicky knob

[runic sierra]

I would put in ear pods, then put on a helmet with earmuffs attached (came free with my chainsaw) when mowing cause it was so damn loud. Unfortunately sweating in 90-100 degree weather will eventually screw them up. So I got a cheap $20 IEM and it's WAY louder.

[pliant karma]

Feel ya I run around on set a lot and travel enough my current Samsung buds 2 I’ve had for 3 years now are just doing fine. Cable isn’t really optional.

[raw cargo]

I listen to music cuz music is fun

[keen cedar]

I’m not gonna be the weirdo running around the machine shop floor with a cable running around

That’s a liability

[kind vine]

I have $200 ones, bass booster snd an apple dac, shits clear af

[unreal dagger]

I listen to music to keep from going crazy

[keen cedar]

Real

[raw cargo]

But on a bus ride, hell I'll use the IEMs

[kind vine]

legalise cyberpsychosis

[keen cedar]

Sorry I’m too American I have a car with decent speakers

Jl audio c1x in all doors 🗣️

[raw cargo]

Driving is expensive

And I never go outside anyways 🤷

[keen cedar]

Sounds like someone needs a job

[raw cargo]

Sounds like someone is about to go thru one hell of a year studying so he won't have a damn minute to spare to humself

[keen cedar]

I’m joking twin

[raw cargo]

I'd rather have fun till then 🤷

[runic sierra]

Anyone know an app I can use to replace the normal windows 11 alarm?
(I use my desktop as an alarm clock cause it forces me to stand up out of bed)
I wanna put in a few music tracks from games and have the alarm play one randomly.

[raw cargo]

Me too :)

[kind vine]

hes not wrong especially if he’s from singapore lmao

(me)

[unreal dagger]

I don’t like driving

[keen cedar]

I love driving

[unreal dagger]

Its very overwhelming

[keen cedar]

White girl music and curvy roads in a land yaht

[raw cargo]

I wish I could

[raw cargo]

white girl music?

[keen cedar]

Kachow

[keen cedar]

White gurl music

Elite ball knowledge

[young hare]

Why not get wired headphones?

[raw cargo]

[keen cedar]

Think music that would play at a club from the 90s to 2000s

That

[unreal dagger]

I also have bose qc45s

[raw cargo]

Oh god

[keen cedar]

White gurl music

[raw cargo]

White gurl music indeed

[young hare]

My most expensive headphoe is fiio ft1 lol

[unreal dagger]

I like music from the 2000s

[young hare]

It's like 130 when I got it

[keen cedar]

Mix in a little bit of lil Jon and waka flocka flame

[unreal dagger]

Its just more calming to me

[raw cargo]

I like music from 70s 80s 90s

Some of the 90s actually

[young hare]

Hmm

[raw cargo]

But mostly 70s and 80s

[young hare]

Not sure then, I generally don't like older music

[keen cedar]

I fw singing along to white gurl music in my old ass luxury sedan

[young hare]

Unless it's remixed

[raw cargo]

I mainly listen to queen

[unreal dagger]

remixes i dont usually like

[raw cargo]

I like how versatile they are

[keen cedar]

You go queen 💅

[unreal dagger]

Or remakes of games

[raw cargo]

Mainly queen, some David Bowie and soundtracks when I feel like it

[unreal dagger]

I miss the ds era of games

[keen cedar]

I can get down with about everything

[raw cargo]

I got into gaming when it was alr shitty so 🤷

[keen cedar]

It’s whoever sends me their playlist is what I listen to

[raw cargo]

My playlist is basically the two greatest hits albums from queen lol

[unreal dagger]

I mostly listen to the same songs over and over again

[raw cargo]

Same

My all time favourite is Bohemian rhapsody

And the pfp album also has a special place in my heart

[jagged linden]

Anybody have experience with the lumix s1rii?

[oak pier]

https://dontasktoask.com

[raw cargo]

Uhh, they did?

[oak pier]

“does anyone have experience with X” is extremely open ended, so anyone that responds ends up forced into whatever the problem actually is, regardless of whether or not they are able to help

[keen cedar]

🥀

[oak pier]

it could also be a problem independent of stated thing which someone could easily help them with, even without knowledge of “X”

[keen cedar]

Why would someone be bothered to type out a long issue if they don’t have anyone knowledgeable of the issue

[oak pier]

if you want help with the topic you’ll have to write it out at some point, might as well lead with it

[raw cargo]

Oh god I started a war

[keen cedar]

🧑‍🦼‍➡️

[vapid torrent]

would just prefer wireless and dont need mic quality so why not

[primal cairn]

Which version of Nvidia drivers are you guys using

[raw cargo]

With wired you can get a lot more

[oak pier]

566.36

on a 4080S

[raw cargo]

I don't even know when was the last time I updated them

I know basically nothing about wireless lol

[oak pier]

last time i changed my drivers i actually downgraded to 566.36 for stability

[primal cairn]

I think 5090 only has driver beyond 57x.xx

[oak pier]

i was using some 57x.xx driver that was causing me instability in CP2077

[oak pier]

true for all 50 series cards

[vapid torrent]

I mean I dont need wireless but unless the difference in sound quality is that massive then I dont really want wired

[oak pier]

it’s massive

[primal cairn]

Should I just get the studio driver? How big of a difference is it

In gaming

[keen cedar]

Why would you get the studio driver

Legit 0 use for a studio driver unless you are using the card only for graphic design/animation/professional workload

[raw cargo]

I tried both and I can't see a difference lol

[keen cedar]

Most likely isn’t one besides slight stability upgrades

[vapid torrent]

is it Im just using for gaming and music

[primal cairn]

Well it claims to prioritizes stability

[keen cedar]

If it was so good more people would run it, useless in most cases just use the gaming drivers

[raw cargo]

Nothing wireless (save maybe the audeze Maxwell but I doubt you would buy those) will get you what you can get from wired

[young hare]

Wired one no need to charge

[keen cedar]

Wired gets in my way and trips me

[raw cargo]

Can last decades too, wireless doesn't

[vapid torrent]

should I not buy them?

[primal cairn]

Any 5090 user here?

[raw cargo]

They are like 300$

[vapid torrent]

the hd6xx are more expensive which someone recommended

atleast in australia

[young hare]

I mean fiio ft1 and fiio ft1 pro is a good choice for cheaper headphone

FT1 is closed back, MSRP is 150USD while FT1 pro is open back MSRP 200USD

[quartz maple]

they are probs too rich to be typing here lol

[vapid smelt]

User snail in here has 3

[primal cairn]

i wonder which driver he's using

[vapid torrent]

im using a 5090 I had my personal assistant install the drivers for me so can't tell you

[primal cairn]

You can check it in the NVIDIA Control Panel or Device Manager

When did you build yours

Omg I got black screen again

[teal agate]

poor u dont have the rtx 5095

[vivid moon]

hi

[sharp notch]

guys is more cores better for cpu or not necessarilu

[alpine gale]

Depends entirely on the specific workload you're using your computer for. If you're trying to do computational things that can't be multi-threaded, fewer cores at higher clock speed is better. Otherwise, multi-core is real nice.

[teal agate]

if gaming, generally more cores past like 6 or 8 isnt needed

[sharp notch]

What if im trynna stream or open chrome or spotify at once aswell

[heady flicker]

6-8

[alpine gale]

Then a 6-8 core processor is what you're after.

[sharp notch]

im using a 5600 rn

[teal agate]

core 2 duo when

[heady flicker]

intel 300 the spiritual sucessor

[sharp notch]

@alpine gale since the 5800X3D is impossible to find here due to high demand.
do i go for a 5800X or a 5700X?

[heady flicker]

going from a 5600 to a 5700X sounds like a big waste of money

it's not going to increase the fps in games at least

[sharp notch]

what abt a 5800X?

[alpine gale]

If you have a 5600 now, I personally would wait a generation or two. Unless you can snag a crazy good heavily discounted deal on a 5800X or 5700X, it's not really worth upgrading.

[heady flicker]

same thing

[sharp notch]

i mean i can get it for less after trade reduction (assuming my regular guy store has it on stock)

[heady flicker]

since a ryzen 5 5600 sells for like $80, maybe if you can get it for like $100, so that it only costs you like $20. But that's if you really need that 2 cores..

[teal agate]

they dont

[heady flicker]

I know 😔

[teal agate]

if ur gonna upgrade from a 5600x wait till u can platform upgrade imo

if u cant get 5800x3d

[sharp notch]

5600 not the X one tho

[teal agate]

same thing kinda

point still stands

am5 upgrade atp

[heady flicker]

you can also try overclocking your memory to get the most out of your current system

[teal agate]

guess so

[sharp notch]

wat the shit is overclocking a memory

im a newbie 😭

[heady flicker]

increasing the memory clock speed for more bandwidth, say, overclocking a ddr4-2666 kit to ddr4-3733 for faster data transfer

and then tightening the timings for lower latency, or faster communication between CPU and RAM to access data faster

I don't think I can bring myself to play more than 1 gacha game at a time

or just, one live service game in general

[median idol]

Gacha ain't really my thing

[teal agate]

neither

[heady flicker]

I don't really spend more than $20 or so a year

[heady flicker]

this year so far I've spent $8 on gacha

[kind vine]

i see

[static perch]

nah as soon as real money is involved I'm done with gabling mechanics

[teal agate]

same

[heady flicker]

I think really hard if I'm spending more than $40-$60 on a single game

[static perch]

the team rocket casino in pokemon yellow was fun

[median idol]

My gaming mostly consists of emulation and clone hero

[teal agate]

i spend like 25 AT MOST

Over the years of buying, it's actually more than those two combined

[static perch]

buying hardware is fine. thats physical and permanent

[heady flicker]

I have 12 kgs of coffee beans and I don't really know what to do with them

I don't think I can drink all of it in one sitting either

[static perch]

then eat them

[median idol]

All I'll say is that you can buy a new or fairly new car from the dealership and bring it home the same day. Let's just put it at that

[kind vine]

demon born from beans

[heady flicker]

I also have 4 gallons of mayo in my fridge

[static perch]

my frigde died 2 years ago and i never borthered to replace it

[sharp cradle]

put them in the freezer so they last longer

[heady flicker]

I might have to buy a second freezer for that

12kg is a lot

[static perch]

i once bought 2kg oregano and 75% of that is gone now

you'll use up the coffee eventually

[kind vine]

I've been caffeine free for like years now

[heady flicker]

nevermind, I ate chocolate a few weeks back

[kind vine]

[static perch]

chocolate used to be cheap but not anymore

[heady flicker]

it's still not too expensive

[median idol]

Everything is expensive

[sharp cradle]

not before they go bad 😭

[heady flicker]

say I go through 8 oz in like, a month

[kind vine]

All 12 kg in a day to become the flash

[heady flicker]

which is a lot

[static perch]

i didn't know they could go bad do they still have water in them?

[heady flicker]

it'll still take 4 years

[sharp cradle]

i mean thats just like 11 cups

[heady flicker]

and by then I think I'll become a coffee addict

[sharp cradle]

actually more like 15 cups

[static perch]

i was never a coffee person. i can't understand why people like it at all

[heady flicker]

I bought Tony's chocolate, but it looks like it's not on the ethical chocolate list https://www.slavefreechocolate.org/ethical-chocolate-companies/

[sharp cradle]

i'll say i use a close to a kg of beans a month lol

[median idol]

Turkish coffee best coffee

[sharp cradle]

its just delightful to make

[median idol]

I remember my grandparents reading Fortunes from the coffee grounds in the pot and cup

Yes, that's a thing

[heady flicker]

that's a nice little thing

If I see a non-certified Zigbee device again I might start doing war crimes

I swear to god. I got a leak sensor, it says it’s Tuya. It’s not. They didn’t pay Tuya

So it won’t connect

Just period won’t connect

[tropic pier]

hi

please don't be real

[merry jay]

Hang on does non tuya certified but Tuya maybe work with LocalTuya?

[lost solar]

LMAO

[vast crow]

Hello fellow nerds

[rain linden]

Tried to set it up, but LocalTuya won’t pick up on the devices without an IP

Since they’re technically connected through a hub

I might be kinda confused

[viscid elm]

I just flash anything tuya

[rain linden]

It can’t be flashed, it’s one of those stupid Chinese hubs

And the sensor doesn’t have a part number

[merry jay]

That's how far my knowledge goes lol. Maybe try asking the Weebs. (Aka Reddit)

[rain linden]

Oh I googled, the weebs don’t say anything useful sadly

[merry jay]

Sadgers

[rain linden]

I’ll just return the sensor, it’s not that big of a deal. Will just get a different one eventually

Kinda sucks cos it was meant to be my backup for a week I’d be on vacation

[narrow badge]

hi

[merry jay]

Yeah I went on a tirade after my mother bought a sketchy cheap store for a Lidar smart vacuum cleaner that ruined our furniture and didn't do anything after I adviced against buying it. The seller/marketplace wouldn't let her return it so we had to get our credit card company involved...

[merry jay]

Hiya

[rain linden]

Always nice to get that amax backing lmao

Yeah I kinda cheaped out on the sensors. But hey, they work fine at work. It’s just Tuya being a bitch

ive done that exact thing when making games and forgetting that XYZ are different in game engines than they are in rendering software, or manufacturing.. or.. in real life

[primal cairn]

Hi guys, which Nvidia driver version are you using?

[viscid elm]

The one that works

[primal cairn]

Which one?

I've tried like 5 of them

576.80 580.88 572.xx 572.xx 578.xx

I forgot

I just got them based on the month they were released, from March to the latest

[frank geode]

can pls help me

[polar fern]

A lovely replacement for the two broken mice I’ve been having to deal with for the last few weeks.

[frank geode]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1401684430480736399

[primal cairn]

Literally nothing works, i tried swapping cables, bios settings, resetting pc, plugging and unplugging

[polar fern]

You don’t have to put that message in all of the channels @frank geode

Nvidia driver sounds like a forums question

Have you tried the card in a different slot?

There’s more to a graphics card functioning properly than just the bios. There’s the board there is the CPU. There is the slot on the board. There is the pins on the card. There’s stuff that could be thermally wrong with the card. There could be something shorting out there’s just so many troubleshooting steps you should be doing before trying to fiddle with the bios.

[frank geode]

ok then <@&750150305383186585>

[polar fern]

I would definitely head over to the forums to see if someone else has a similar problem and a potential solution @primal cairn

[primal cairn]

I've been crawling through it

I tried a lot of "solutions" but nothing worked for me

[frank geode]

i am going to ping @ linus and @calm fogah

[primal cairn]

My pc was doing just fine for 5 months, I have no idea what happened

[quartz maple]

Your themostat is probably one of the ones google stopped supporting

[raw cargo]

Why wired tho 🥀

[raw cargo]

Also I'm never buying a Logitech peripheral again

My gpxs 2 basically rendered itself unusable in less than 2 years

[fossil frost]

Ok. Rule 2 then. Needless harassment

[dire tiger]

yo what's the best cpu to pair with an rtx 3080?

[fossil frost]

There's no such thing... Especially since you didn't say what you are doing with them

[dire tiger]

wym?

[fossil frost]

Computers do more than one thing.

[raw cargo]

Basically any Ryzen 5, ryzen 7 starting from Ryzen 5600 or on the Intel side 12600k and up

[dire tiger]

ohh okk, thanks man

[raw cargo]

Don't get core ultra tho

[dire tiger]

alright

[fossil frost]

Depending on what they are doing, 5 series will not be good enough, or 7/9 series could be a huge waste of money. Which is why I said there is no good answer without knowing what they are doing with it

[raw cargo]

I doubt they are doing anything other than gaming with the way they asked it

[dire tiger]

yea i just wanna play some games

[raw cargo]

So yeah Ryzen 5 and 7 starting from 5600

[fossil frost]

What games, what resolution, what settings. Different types of games require different types of cpu

[raw cargo]

You may wanna get am5 for future proofing tho

[raw cargo]

Resolution barely matters when picking a CPU. Same for settings

[fossil frost]

Only true for certain games

[raw cargo]

And again, I doubt they're an e sport god that needs 5 billion fps

[fossil frost]

You know what. You want to give bad advice. Feel free. People are free to listen to your bad advice too. Doesn't make it good advice though

[raw cargo]

I have a 5600 and a 3070Ti, when I went from 1080p to 1440p cpu usage barely changed. And fps will be more than enough with that and a 3080 in most scenarios

But anyways @dire tiger What kind of games do you say

[fossil frost]

In your games that you play, that is true. But not true for everyone with everything.

[fossil frost]

You have already given you shit advice with zero knowledge. Stick to it

[raw cargo]

D:

Usually a GPU just needs a CPU that wouldn't hold back the performance from it

And that is true for most games

[dire tiger]

like cyberpunk 2077 or expedition 33, since my current pc is REALLY old and I can't even start most of the new games

[fossil frost]

And what if going to hold the GPU back is different for different types of games

[raw cargo]

I stick with my advice.

[raw cargo]

If you think my advice is shit go ahead and give them advice too.

[fossil frost]

Some of what he said counts now then, but not all. Get a 5 or 7 class. Don't bother with a 9 class CPU, waste of money for what you are doing.

[raw cargo]

I corrected myself to 5 and 7.

[fossil frost]

It also depends on what it is you are upgrading from

[raw cargo]

Cpus are really simple

[dire tiger]

rn I have a gtx 970 and an i7 3770

[raw cargo]

Oh god

Cyberpunk with that? Ain't no fucking way

[fossil frost]

Then you are 100% gonna need new ram and a new motherboard. So go current gen if you can.

[fossil frost]

Cyberpunk is very well optimised these days, nothing like when it first came out

[raw cargo]

Expedition with that? Ain't no fucking way

[cedar nymph]

Oof, cyberpunk on 3.5gb of vram wouldn't be fun

[dire tiger]

I still managed to get all the achievements tho

[fossil frost]

It will run like shit unless it's run at 720, but it will run

[raw cargo]

just so you guys know, I was getting 20 fps in dogtown🙏

[polar fern]

i dislike punting my mouse across the room acidentally? way more reliable/flexible too

[alpine gale]

Is there an issue with the Discord I can assist with?

[raw cargo]

Reliability I agree, but how can you punt a mouse across the room 😭

I can never go back to wired after I tried wireless tho

[fossil frost]

Check later pings. Basic troll by the looks of it

[cedar nymph]

I for one have definitely accidentally thrown my mouse at the side of my PC. Thankfully Wired.

[fossil frost]

How are people accidentally throwing a mouse? How are you that careless/stupd

[raw cargo]

I didn't... But I also dropped my phone twice in 8 months 🤷

[fossil frost]

Probably the same type of people who always break their phone screen and think it's "just something that happens". It's not, it's carelessness

[cedar nymph]

It happens, you flick too hard. Why would you assume carelessness because someone really got into the game?

[alpine gale]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up. Y'all gotta stop abusing mice, mmmk? What did your mice ever do to you? 🖱️

[raw cargo]

I'm like the opposite of Linus, I'm tall and never drop stuff

[raw cargo]

Mine had a bad dongle that disintegrated in less than 2 years of use, but otherwise nothing

[cedar nymph]

Bizzehdee over here with perfect dexterity, looking down on all the peasants that make mistakes. 🙄

[raw cargo]

They also denied replacement under warranty, haha

Never buying a Logitech mouse

[polar fern]

i am a tall boi, with long arm and huge hands, i accidentally knock stuff over/punt stuff off of counter/table/desk all the time.

[fossil frost]

I go running, open water swimming, road cycling, mountain biking... With my phone in my pocket. Never broken a phone. It's not about "making mistakes". It's being careless

[polar fern]

also, believe it or not, i am not a moron. i know what i bought.

anyways

[fossil frost]

I'm 6ft5, that's never happened once to me. That's you being careless

[alpine gale]

Now that's surprising... Every Logitech product I've ever claimed warranty for has been replaced easily. Mind you, the last time I had to warranty one of their products was over 10 years ago, so maybe they've tightened up policy?

[raw cargo]

I didn't say you are, enjoy the new mouse :)

[cedar nymph]

Was talking about mice while gaming, but you went off on a tangent of superiority

[raw cargo]

They said it falls under accidental damage

[fossil frost]

It's not superiority, it's annoyance. It really pisses me off 😁. My kids are "those people" too

[polar fern]

Already right at home

[raw cargo]

Then they proceeded to say they'll check if they can give me a "courtesy replacement" and got back to me 2 weeks later basically saying "not our problem fuck you"

[fossil frost]

Though I have genuinely crashed my mountain bike into a tree, Landed ON my phone... And it was fine... 😁

[raw cargo]

Why non mechanical keyboard 🥀

[polar fern]

Breh

Because this is what I want. 🤣

[raw cargo]

We're you alright tho

[polar fern]

You may have asked yourself

“But what about second mouse?”

[raw cargo]

What about it?

[fossil frost]

That time? Yes. Not the first time I've crashed into a tree though. Won't be the last

[polar fern]

BAM.

[supple pawn]

Anyone here a space mouse enjoyer?

[polar fern]

Wasn’t that like a cartoon or a comic book series or something?

I’m definitely a fan of danger mouse

[fossil frost]

Biker mice from mars

[polar fern]

And Deadmau5

[raw cargo]

I wonder how it would be if I order 3d printer filament from AliExpress

[frank geode]

What do you mean one of those stopped working?

[fossil frost]

Same stuff you can get from Amazon, and it's cheaper on Amazon too

[raw cargo]

Kinda wanted some of those creality pla refills

Way cheaper than Amazon for me

[fossil frost]

"creality" filament is "who ever is the current cheapest supplier of the day, with access to a creality label.. filament"

[raw cargo]

Does it matter tho

[fossil frost]

Sunlu is £9 a spool on Amazon, cheap filament on AliExpress is £12 per spool

[raw cargo]

I don't really have access to Amazon unless I wanna pay more than double the product for shipping

[fossil frost]

Good filament, made about 4 miles from my house, costs £12 per spool too. And I can go to the factory where it's made and just collect it too

[raw cargo]

😭

The 3d printing market here is really not that big, so I'm struggling with filament

For now I have 3 spools of Bambu PLA to my name

[fossil frost]

Yeah, I just happen to be lucky that this place is where it is

[raw cargo]

But they're expensive and there is no good alternative in my area

also would be nice to have access to asa

And soft TPU

[fossil frost]

Tpu sucks balls to print

[raw cargo]

I know but I would want some soft prints

[raw cargo]

Which printer u got?

[winged spire]

I plan to make a filament line soon lol

all the desktop ones are ass and like 100000x too expensive

[primal cairn]

I'm getting black screen without driver installed

[iron summit]

instal driver

[ivory bison]

how much does it weigh?

[raw cargo]

what the recycling pet bottles thing?

[winged spire]

no

something actually useful

[raw cargo]

ouch

wdym by filament line then

[quartz maple]

I honestly just wait for Amazon sales

Just track the price yk

[raw cargo]

I think I already said amazon is kind of not an option

[gilded quest]

Yes, however I need a new one

The rubber on mine has reverted to its prehistoric oil state

Extremely unpleasant to use

[quartz maple]

my bad

[quartz maple]

is there a microcenter close by?

[raw cargo]

If I was in the USA, amazon would be an option.

Also to put into perspective, 4 reels of elegoo PETG would cost me 100$

[long moth]

polymaker is another good option, moreso if you wait for their sales

[raw cargo]

I'ma check if they ship to here, cause Bambu, creality, sunlu and eSUN don't

[long moth]

where you at? polymaker coveres most of NA/EU/ and AUS(maybe)

[raw cargo]

I'm not at na eu or aus

[winged spire]

pellets

actual industrial lines start at like ~7k on aliexpress plus freight

Working on a largely DIY one using shit I have but all my chinese parts are 30% more expensive now

Ive used the 3devo and its hot garbage

[raw cargo]

Ima stick to buying (if I fucking can cuz the amount of vendors not shipping to here is honestly frustrating)

All I have is Bambu filament, and Bambu filament be expensive

Should I get Whale WAN VIP ticket?

I do have the money for it. I’ve already saved up 5000 CAD to build a high end gaming PC with an RTX 5090. The Whale WAN VIP package includes a custom gaming PC, which makes me wonder if it will be a high end build with a 5090 or something similar.

[vapid smelt]

or you could donate that money to me for the same price as a whale wan vip ticket

[gilded quest]

how much are they supposed to be again, $5k?

$5K US or CAD?

[gilded quest]

they'll certainly give you your money's worth

You should look into what the previous whale LAN's VIP tickets received @ocean tusk

[ocean tusk]

vip ticket will cost 5000 CAD according to Linus during Wan Show

[gilded quest]

if CAD thats not too bad

but CAD makes me think not a 5090

[ocean tusk]

I wonder if he can sponsor so he can get 5090 cheaply for the VIPs

[gilded quest]

maybe

[ocean tusk]

I don't know honestly

[gilded quest]

thats a big unknown

I think motherboard/case/psu are easier to get sponsored

maybe they can get AMD to toss them some 9800x3d...maybe

[severe marsh]

for anyone using 8th gen Intel, anyone else here noticed a pretty unstable system on Windows 11

(i just went back to Windows 10 LTSC lol)

i gave Windows 11 a try for 10 days, and it was just very unstable

(it was a clean install too, with all drivers downloaded directly from Intels website)

[gilded quest]

My gf was using coffee lake until last week but she never reported any issues

Wasn't a heavy desktop user tho

[severe marsh]

ive had them across two systems on 24H2

so i took both of those systems back to Windows 10 LTSC

but im just generally noting that for coffee lake it may be best to stick to 10

esp since Intel stopped producing driver updates

[gilded quest]

Uhhh I fresh installed 24h2 on her system in the fall once I figure out CSM setting in BIOS was blocking windows 11 upgrade

[severe marsh]

the update i got installed from Intel last was from like Januarary

so yuhhhh

[severe marsh]

it seems to happen w time tho

so like i could never run the system for more than like 12 hours without starting to get freezes

its super weird

it wasnt bsods etc either btw both systems either had graphical issues such as entire browser frame freezes on all chromium based apps

or it was a total system lockup

[gilded quest]

I do not think that experience is universal

[hazy parrot]

I was having a similar issue

[severe marsh]

yuh

[hazy parrot]

Turns out. I had FOD in my PCIE slot

[severe marsh]

i had nothing in my PCIE slots

[hazy parrot]

Completely unrelated to software

[severe marsh]

(it runs off the iGPU)

relatively basic system less than 20 apps installed as well lol

now im not experincing the issue on my 8000 series Ryzen chip

[hazy parrot]

Sure. Point being.

You can't ever be certain if you can't fix it.

[gilded quest]

oh I haven't been using the igpu

[severe marsh]

yeah thats the thing it mostly seems to be relating to the intel igpus

bc the system was still responsive btw over file share etc

and i could still hear audio but refreshing the display drivers did nothing

just made a black screen lol

[hazy parrot]

Booger causing driver timeouts and system resets

[severe marsh]

yeah no they werent entire system resets its more of the iGPU framebuffer freezingt

happens across both devices

same generation and same iGPU shared across both

[hazy parrot]

I had a similar outcome disabling AMD issue detection

Would freeze instead of reset

[severe marsh]

yeah but the issue is its happening across two different systems that are made by two different makers etc

so yeahhh im noting it more as a Windows 11 issue with the GPU

esp since they are explicitly gpu apparent issues

now when i went into software mode and disabled any hardware acceleration, guess what? the issue never occured

but obv thats not optimal

so i just took both systems back to Windows 10 and ill just leave it at that, but ill leave it as a warning to not use the built in iGPUs if u want a good experience on 8th gen

CPU however was fine, didnt have any issues there but GPU was a mess.

[hazy parrot]

Gl. I wouldn't be smashing my skull debugging this for an igpu related issue

[severe marsh]

neither am i lmao

i went back to Windows 10 LTSC, i got support till 2032 on Windows 10

not worried abt it.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/iot-enterprise/whats-new/windows-10-iot-enterprise-ltsc-2021

end of servicing is on like Jan 13th of 2032

[hazy parrot]

Ever since 2021 there's many things I initially thought must be 11 specific issue. When it comes down to it. 11 is 10 with rounded corners

[severe marsh]

oh no they really were 11 specific issues

go back to 22H1 of Windows 11 and its horrid lmao

when compared to 24H2

but even then if the gpu vender has stopped publishing updates, duh shit will break on the newer os

[hazy parrot]

WinUpdate pulls from the same driver pool when connected to the internet

Regardless

[severe marsh]

u clearly dont know how operating system changes can affect the viability of using older drivers on newer systems.

💀 its basic understanding lol

[hazy parrot]

The only thing I can think of is your system doesn't support dx11

[severe marsh]

uhh???? no it surely does...

if anything it says DirectX Version as 12...

[hazy parrot]

Go on

[zinc fox]

hi yall

i have a quesstion rq

is ebay a okay place to buy windows 11 pro license

oh wrong chat sorry

[alpine gale]

No. One should only purchase a Windows license from legitimate authorized resellers, like NewEgg, Microcenter, Canada Computers, Memory Express, or from Microsoft's website itself. Purchase one (1) Retail key for the version you need (Home or Pro), then carry it from computer to computer for the rest of your life. 👌 Problem solved.

[karmic flame]

Dlss framegen is for 40 series onwards, and framegen feels like crap anyway

[sharp notch]

is this transformers mode already then

[elfin jetty]

No thats where you select it in each game individually

[hot tartan]

or in the app

[elfin jetty]

Yes

[fossil frost]

It doesn't matter what it's for. Because of the sort of stuff people have tried in the past, that stuff is specifically banned here. No amount of asking is gonna change that

[mortal wigeon]

sorry i wasnt aware of that im just trying to get responses for my project

[hot tartan]

didn't you read the rules to get in

[mortal wigeon]

to be frank, i didnt. i was trying to send out my form to as many servers as possible to get more reponses. its ok if you don't trust me i understand

[supple pawn]

Hey, I trust you. You got at least 1 response lol.

Shame on me tho, probably.

But IDC. Used a throw away email, if that matters.

Really, the form was a convenient excuse for me to talk about meat paste.

[mortal wigeon]

thanks for the reponse btw. it was helpful!

loved your descriptive reponse too

[alpine gale]

Welcome! I recommend reading the #rules / terms of service / contracts of anything you accept in life. You never know what kinds of crazy things you might unknowingly agree to...

[elfin jetty]

Mmmm meat paste...

Just bought myself a pixel 6a used on ebay (112 usd) as a work phone you know for calls and stuff

I was thinking like mehh this thing is just only good for calls n stuff and im surprised like this mid ranger from 2020 or something still better than my realme 10 pro plus and iphone xs max

I am really really impressed like even this lil fela only has 6gb ram i installed some games codm genshin coc and of course candy crush and it blew my expectations was like sheet the next phone im buying new is definitely a pixel from a work phone to now a daily dang i wish i knew sooner

[viscid elm]

o wow

[undone mountain]

btw srry for the spam just really impressed

[viscid elm]

i have only seen hate on pixels for their tensor cpus

[civic fox]

its from 2022, i own the same phone, google tends to send me this every 5 days

[viscid elm]

bu like just no

[viscid elm]

well yea 😐

replace the bat my guy

[civic fox]

im like thanks for the reminder google

[undone mountain]

Havent seen that problem yet mines aint refurbished just a used unit

[civic fox]

oh trust me, you will know if its affected or not. google will ruin the phone with an update.

[undone mountain]

Its on the latest version as of now

[gilded quest]

Not every unit is affected

[civic fox]

only certain 6a phones get this update.

which mine does

[viscid elm]

keep in mind google is not doing this to be funny

[civic fox]

no but they certainly arent fixing it either.

[viscid elm]

a guy did actually burn his hands once his lit up

[gilded quest]

And they've offered pretty good options
Free battery replacement
Or $100 cash
Or $130 store credit

[civic fox]

a reminder, nothing else.

[gilded quest]

Cause don't they nerf the battery on affected units to prevent fire?

[viscid elm]

wat

[civic fox]

i cant replace the battery. i already choose one of the options google has yet to get back to me.

[undone mountain]

The ui certainly reminds me of my nothing phone 1

[viscid elm]

that is what he just said

[civic fox]

its android 16 beta

[civic fox]

they did, but fires still happened regardless.

[viscid elm]

and that was

[gilded quest]

Yeah nothing OS is based off of "stock" android with some tweaks

[viscid elm]

aka why they offer replacement of the battery

[gilded quest]

Didn't they do it after the fires
Wasn't it because of the fires?

[viscid elm]

no

[undone mountain]

No wonder why things are familiar

[viscid elm]

i think they did it before

[civic fox]

i dont know what started it tbh

i just woke up with a warning one day. and now my phone needs babysitting all day long

[gilded quest]

It's because some batches of batteries were borked and sometimes that take a a while to learn

[viscid elm]

but yea no its not like they wanted to burn you aka why they are offering free replacement battery's

[viscid elm]

note 7

[gilded quest]

In which basically all were fucked

[viscid elm]

yup

[gilded quest]

Or actually all were

[civic fox]

yea borked, on launch day, in 2022

[viscid elm]

and samsung kinda just fully gave up

[gilded quest]

Cause the note FE had a reduced battery size

[gilded quest]

Yeah but you don't understand

[undone mountain]

Just like the note 7 n 9 then huh

[gilded quest]

Batteries ship on day 1 with 100% life span

[civic fox]

charging this phone 3 times a day, and waiting forever for it to charge, is just something else.

[viscid elm]

so get it replaced for free

[gilded quest]

Defects may not be discovered until the product has degraded over time

[viscid elm]

also keep in mind when they test something they might only have a handful

[civic fox]

i dont live near a place that can replace them.

[viscid elm]

then i guess just take the money and buy a new phone

[civic fox]

thats what i did

just waiting for google to actually give me the money, its been like 2 weeks

[gilded quest]

Assuming you took the cash that is likely slower than store credit

[viscid elm]

how many times did you contact them

[gilded quest]

Are they sending a check that would be funny

[civic fox]

only once

[viscid elm]

in 2 weeks?

[civic fox]

well in 2 weeks, i did it twice.

[viscid elm]

waht did they say

[civic fox]

let me find the email

first email from them, my response. and then there last response

[viscid elm]

how many pixel 6a were made'

[undone mountain]

Yolly cow 120f thats hot while charging

[viscid elm]

120 failure units

[civic fox]

no idea

probably a lot

[rich mortar]

You've got an official guide on how to do it on iFixit site, easily done even if the guide is a bit salesy of their own tools (ofc)

[viscid elm]

ffs

[civic fox]

thats great that a guide exists, doesnt change that i got no money, so no that also does not work.

[viscid elm]

no tools or experience

[civic fox]

yea basically

[undone mountain]

Might aswell set it in power saver mode for the rest of its existence

[civic fox]

well i will make sure the phone gets its use.

[urban talon]

For the pixel 6 (pro in my case) I looked at the ungluing operation required and tbh it's a bit of a pain

[civic fox]

it will be replaced in due time

also super random, but i got open beta access. friend gave me a code.

[urban talon]

I found someone nearby that could do the work for 50€, so I'll do that personally, maybe worth checking if someone can do for cheap around you

[undone mountain]

Sweet did ya pre order?

Nvm im blind didnt read the message

[civic fox]

xD

[undone mountain]

Saw bf 6 on thr pic was like dude tf he pre ordered

[rich mortar]

I'm kind of tempted to get it once it's released now that I've finally got a new pc

[undone mountain]

Same here on my end just hope it isnt a sht show as like 2042 in release

[civic fox]

ngl i think my 3070 is gonna cry for mercy xD, it already hates grounded 2

[rich mortar]

But last couple of Battlefield games was kind of iffy

haaha yea, atleast it's better than my old pc with an GTX980

[civic fox]

BF4 was fun. the story at least towards the end is kinda ass

[undone mountain]

The 3070 is above its requirements doo ut should be fine

[civic fox]

yea it should but i know UE5 and games these days.

[rich mortar]

BF bad company 2 was peak 😄

BF4 was good as well

[undone mountain]

Ye fair play but lets hope the devs optimize the hell outa it like what they do in the old days instead of relying on dlss

[rich mortar]

Maybe we just grew out of the games after that

[civic fox]

i will test it and see how it goes.

[quartz maple]

I wonder if NVIDIA pays game devs to just rely on DLSS mostly instead of optimizing

I wouldn’t be surprised

[civic fox]

the game got mad because i dont got secure boot on

[undone mountain]

Probably aswell i mean if i look at my self now im in my hellish stage of law school remembering playing bf 3 n 4 as a child just good ol days just playing with my friends nothin to worry bout taxes and payments

[rich mortar]

hahaha yea, I'm back to playing Tibia (yet again) because I miss the community gameplay that I used to have a kid and teenager

.. and early 20s..

Then.. career, taxes. Lots and lots of taxes and dogs take up most of the time and money

[undone mountain]

But like dang earning my own money the first time then spending it on my first gaming pc worth it worth the days mowing yards cleaning cars hell even doing brick laying (not from u.s.a ok)

Getting my hands on my first pc was really really such a achievement

Now its just ehhh live work study play squad sometimes n work study again

[rich mortar]

hehe yep.. Although no studying for me unless you consider attending infosec conferences studying..

[rustic tundra]

gold 5090

[rich mortar]

tbf there is a lot of learning and knowledgesharing.. and networking.. endless networking

[undone mountain]

I earn a lot now but its like a endless cycle 1.5-4k usd a month (converted from local php) but man if i can go back to the past id do it again

[rich mortar]

that's a big span

5k-ish usd monthly + whatever I can do consulting when not working my fulltime

But yeah, I agree with you. I miss the early days of being an adult even if the money sucked back then

[open cedar]

hi!

[undone mountain]

Money sucks but hey at least no back pain and joint pain

Thats what i wanna go back to

[rich mortar]

hahaah yea the knees are killing me

[undone mountain]

Like god sometimes my legs are killing me

[rich mortar]

i cant even run anymore, makes me feel old

[undone mountain]

Calf area or whatever its called

[rich mortar]

Ah

I messed my knees up by breaking one of them, then overcompensating and using only the other knee of anything strenuous for too long

[undone mountain]

I can still run but not unlike the days in my highschool and senior high days

Now its like a ticking time bomb any moment itll just pop and huge pain comes through

[rich mortar]

ouch

[near nymph]

Hmm anyone here from Quebec

[undone mountain]

But man idk why but sometimes theres still that inner child in me that still wanna buy lego i can but ive got other priorities now kinda shame

When you were a child you wna grow up fast to buy stuff when you grow up you still cant since you have other things to do

[rich mortar]

It's fun to look back on my photos from when I fucked up.. "Look, I'm having fun!" "Nice hotel, lots of snow", "going to the slopes, screw the snowstorm LOL".. "I fucked up.."

Early 2020, weeks before the pandemic shut most things down here in sweden

[undone mountain]

Man i really wna go skiing but my Sinus is killing me i aint built for the cold winter

[rich mortar]

I like summer, sure.. but deepest winter is the best
