Hello

Is it better to stream live with obs or streamlabs

[pallid falcon]

Obs

[primal karma]

Does it have the classic donation pop ups and subscribers popup?

[pallid falcon]

You can handle those through a browser scene

And like copy it from streamlabs dashboard on the site

[primal karma]

Im not sure if my pc specs can handle it

Hold up lemme send em

[pallid falcon]

SLOBS is more demanding then normal obs

[primal karma]

is this build okay for it

[rustic tundra]

the os

and you need more ram

[primal karma]

whats the problem with os?

[viscid elm]

2 months

[primal karma]

not like i will switch to a bloatware os

[viscid elm]

you already are?

the only thing windows 11 does is have a better scheduler

and security

anyways you gotta pay for support in 2 months on 10

[short rock]

uhh...... why do i not remember this

and why tf is it 170$ at my local ebay

[somber pewter]

best site to compare cpus?

[viscid elm]

[viscid elm]

techpowerup
gamers nexus
linus tech tips

and so on

[primal karma]

deserves to be 5$ 😭

[somber pewter]

i mean like i7 4770 vs i5 12400f

or something goofy like that

like the tech powerup gpu hiarchy

[primal karma]

pay for support as in buy win 11?

[viscid elm]

windows 11 is free?

[primal karma]

not completely

[viscid elm]

but windows 10 security support costs money

[primal karma]

what about activation key for win 11

[viscid elm]

it is for you

[primal karma]

thats not free

[viscid elm]

you already have a windows 10 key

[primal karma]

yea but its not gonna save to win 11

[viscid elm]

gonna save to win 11?

[primal karma]

never

my pc is pathetic anyways

[viscid elm]

you do know you can literally use a windows 10 key to activate windows 11

[viscid elm]

i know

[primal karma]

oh wow i didnt kow that

[viscid elm]

since i did it

[viscid elm]

a 1TB m.2 ssd is like 50$

[primal karma]

problem is

[viscid elm]

you already have a 1TB ssd

[primal karma]

no?

thats a hdd

[primal karma]

[rustic tundra]

apparently someone is suing microsoft for ending support for w10 in october

[vale nebula]

hi

i rejoined i got hacked

[smoky badge]

oof

[grand igloo]

i see what you did
its like a distant cousin of squidward? Scrapward

[primal karma]

😭 wtf

[rustic tundra]

windows 10 had the longest run out of every os bruh and that made people mad when it got replaced

[somber pewter]

dont think thats true

[rustic tundra]

that is true

6 years until w11 released

other versions had 1-3 year runs before next os released

10 years passed and w10 is still the most used os

because people are either stubborn or just have no idea about computers and go around the requirements problem

[somber pewter]

I think XP got longer support, esp considering extended support

[rustic tundra]

not considering extended support, the percentage of how frequently was it used

according to copilot w10 was and is the biggest os with over 70% global users at its peak

no previous windows version had this much market share

[fossil frost]

Windows 10 was supposed to be "the last windows" before they got rid of version numbers, and windows was just a rolling release. but MS needed TPM and secure boot to be there, and on by default, but their contract with SI's says secure boot was supposed to be there, but optional to be on/off, and TPMs were optional all together... MS needed to release a new windows version to allow for a new contract to be written with SI's so they could force TPM and secure boot... which is why win11 exists... MS hasnt needed to update those contracts with SIs for a while now, and, there was a huge fallout because of it with win11, which is why MS has stuck to the rolling release updates for the moment...

win12 will come at some point, when MS needs a new contract with SI's

[rustic tundra]

windows 10 was not supposed to be the "last version of windows", the quote was taken out of context and it wasnt an official microsoft statement but a part of a conversation with a single developer who said "last version of windows we are currently working on" as of 2015 where he mentioned windows will be delivered as a service that gets frequent updates rather than yearly version updates, so basically a single out of context quote led everyone to believe microsoft said windows 10 is the last. you still have a month left to update to windows 11 or else move to linux

[somber pewter]

Atleast according to statcounter win10 became the most used in jan 2018, and and stopped being in july 2025. Thats 7 years. Im unsure when xp started (probably around 2002, data doesnt go that far back), but it stopped being the most popular in september 2011

Vista being hard to run and having driver issues proped up XP to last for a very long time

[wise shell]

Hello, I am building my first gaming pc but my GPU is not powering up. Please help

[somber pewter]

Also xp gave way more incentive to people to upgrade

[red wadi]

hellooo

[fossil frost]

i, infact.. gave the context in the very next few words... "before they got rid of version numbers and windows was just a rolling release"... which is exactly what the plan was at the time... so maybe read what i wrote before you try and correct it 🙂

[rustic tundra]

just clarifying what really happened

you just said they wont use numbers so my message clarifies it better

out of context sentence by a single microsoft developer

this kinda reminds me of the famous "customer is always right" quote which isnt even the full quote

people tend to love to take things out of context for their advantage

[fossil frost]

microsoft later clarified what he said. (although they have since taken it off their Q+A pages), they said that windows 10 would switch to a "windows as a service" model... but... because of the reasons i stated above... they released windows 11, because they had to do

[rustic tundra]

and when they released windows 11, all the dumbasses started using the out of context quote

and they are still crying after 4 years

[strange elk]

.. Lol

Lmao even

[rustic tundra]

i dont even think the w11 requirements are that harsh

microsoft just wants users to have the smoothest and best experience so a 8th gen i3 is perfect for that for example

[fossil frost]

i dont either, win11 at the time, was new, and required things that were considered to be, or be in the process of becoming, mainstream components... people cried because they wanted to run NEW software on a 10 year old system

[rustic tundra]

when w11 released 11th gen was already released

look i have a secondary pc with a 9100 and it runs very smooth for a basic i3

i did run 11 on unsupported systems and they ran well

[fossil frost]

my oldest son runs win11 on a 7700k, works fine. even gets updates.. but MS had to draw t he line in the sand somewhere, and they chose what they chose... its their company and their software to choose that line. if people dont like it, they are free to choose to use other software

[strange elk]

No other time in history has ewaste been produced so quickly

[rustic tundra]

microsoft should allow 25h2 to be installed on unsupported systems with a big disclaimer about security and that youre installing it with your own risk

25h2 is supposedly getting released soon

[fossil frost]

as long as my kids can play their online games, i largely dont care anymore 🙂

[unique nest]

Did you plug everything?

[wise shell]

yes, but GPU doesn't seems to power on

[unique nest]

So you aren’t getting a display

[wise shell]

gpu fans are not spinning

[fossil frost]

did you connect all the power connectors to the GPU?

[wise shell]

yes

[hot thistle]

PSU side fully inserted? GPU side inserted? Fully seated in slot?

[wise shell]

yes, checked multiple times

[fossil frost]

are you getting a display output at all, when your display is plugged into the gpu?

[wise shell]

no display

[hot thistle]

Are case fans / rest of pc turning on?

[fossil frost]

is your GPU connected to the corrext x16 slot? usually the top one, closest to the cpu

[wise shell]

can i stream it to you guys so you can figure out the problem?

i have just 1 PCIe slot for GPU

[hot thistle]

I can’t, I’m just passing through chat while donating blood atm

[wise shell]

yes

[fossil frost]

are you connecting the display to the back of the gpu, and not to the back of the motherboard?

[unique nest]

What motherboard do you have

[wise shell]

hdmi cable is connected to the gpu

ASROCK B550M

[hot thistle]

…is monitor on?

[fossil frost]

do you have a motherboard where the error codes are displayed on the motherboard?

[wise shell]

there are no led indicator which i xan verify if its on or not, but the cpu fans and case fans are running

[wise shell]

yup, no signal

[fossil frost]

what cpu is it?

[unique nest]

What cou are you running?

[wise shell]

ryzen 7 5700

[fossil frost]

where did you buy the gpu from?

[wise shell]

Indian online store mdcomputers.in

[fossil frost]

what gpu is it? what power is the psu?

[wise shell]

Asus RX 6700 8gb (160watts tdp)

[fossil frost]

what psu is it

[wise shell]

msi 650watt

[fossil frost]

you 100% certain you have 2 pci-e 8 pin connectors, connecting it to the PSU?

[hot thistle]

I can’t even find info on that ASUS model, maybe it’s just not available in the states

[dusky widget]

Cheese.

Or wait no I meant hello LTT server

[civic fox]

i cant either, seems i can only find 12gb models.

not sure why someone would do an 8gb when the 12 is better anyway

also
the lesson today for my Intro to Computer Technology class

taught us what file explorer was
how to open and resize windows
how to use copy,paste, cut, and snip
how to download files
and how to install a program
😭

as if i have never used a computer before
like
my town hasbeen using computers for class 80% of the time since 4th grade

[winged spire]

Those are pretty vital skills for literally everything else you will do in the class

[fossil frost]

yes, because they need to make sure that EVERYONE there is at the same base level before they move on to the next part of the class.. you may already know how to do that. but you are not the only person in the class, you are not the average person

[bright lynx]

nice! Those lessons are critical for deeper tasks in Computer technology if you are deciding to go farther in that field

personally, everyone should learn how to do those things if they're using a computer

[vapid smelt]

I was taught about storage size like how many kb in a mb, mb to gb etcetc

[iron lintel]

everyone in that class was going to my school since kindergarten-4th grade (some moved here later) and all of them have been using computers every day in classroom for years
😔

also
everyone has their own account on the computers
ofc
they can access the files on their account on every computer at the school aslongas they're logged into their account

but
freshman didnt have an account
so they were setting up accounts today
but
I dont get an account
cuz my mom never did the online registration like I said she was supposed to...

[unkempt spruce]

Public school thing they are right with the base level school just needs to do it

Ofc its dumb and prob no one needs it but school needs to do the government material

[heady flicker]

over kill..?

32gb memory is nice to have

[oak pier]

32gb is a nice amount to have

16gb i'd say is the minimum nowadays

Unless you have a specific need there's no point going above 48gb though

[heady flicker]

if you have a mobile cpu with a good igpu like 780m, then 32gb is almost necessary for a good gaming experience

anyone recommend a good animated desktop wallpaper software?

the fact that you can still see it instead of it being absolutely nuked from public record says a lot

hello clippy army

[winged spire]

Yeah welcome to internet lol

[kind vine]

Ok. Ill tell you why I want to destroy roblox but Ill only tell you once, wanna hear it? I saw corps strip farmers of water ... and eventually of land. Saw them transform Night City into a machine fueled by people's crushed spirits, broken dreams and emptied pockets. Corps've long controlled our lives, taken lots... and now they're after our souls! V, I've declared war not because capitalism's a thorn in my side or outta nostalgia for an America gone by. This war's a people's war against a system that's spiralled outta our control. It's a war against the fuckin' forces of entropy, understand? Do whatever it takes to stop 'em, defeat 'em, gut 'em. If I gotta kill, I'll kill. If I need your body, I'll fuckin' take it! Fuckin' hell ... You still don't see it. But you will one day.

Yea I'd sooner just binge tv than pay for floatplane as a resort to losing youtube

[full fossil]

why u loose yt

[strange elk]

I didn't know we were. This is just about spreading a message and creating an army of sorts to initiate change I thought

I haven't signed up for the fulu newsletter yet though, I barely check my emails as it is

[sharp lynx]

well, half inspire them to make change, half us actually help to get change rolling

changing our profile pics was putting the key in the ignition. now we need to drive

[pallid falcon]

Idk anything about the thi g your doing with clippies. Man all that is doing is making yourself look like a retro nerd

[strange elk]

Hey I dig that too.

[sharp lynx]

same

[strange elk]

I mean my DE is literally riced to look like Windows XP so it fits if anything. It's Rossmann's initiative though

[sharp lynx]

i think the point of the clippy pfps was to show a lot of people out there that there are people that want to see change to where technology stops following the trend of enshitification, to kinda inspire us to get to work doing what we can as individuals to see what we can get changed

[strange elk]

Also to sort of highlight a simpler time when "assistants" didn't always phone home

.. Barring Bonzi Buddy obviously

[sharp lynx]

ye

clippy only wanted to help

[pallid falcon]

Companies need to stop outsourcing customer service to what is clearly ai

[sharp lynx]

this is also something we could see if we could change

[pallid falcon]

Thanks for contacting discord support. Can you try contacting discord support plz?

[strange elk]

You see that best buy "bundle deal" the other day? Lol

[modern pier]

Turns out it was because it had a discord invite that wasn’t hidden from <13 users properly. That doesn’t change the fact it took 2 days to take this down but 2 weeks to ban someone who created hug games for kids with bedrooms and clubs.

Actually, 2 years.

[pallid falcon]

Ngl tho we should not go back days where things always moved and ppl didnt know what accessible ui was

[modern pier]

And they only banned them after 60% of the devs in their latest event (virtually all the non-cash grab games) pulled out as part of a boycott AND all of the biggest RBLX YouTubers said “not playing event until you ban this guy”. It took THAT to happen for them to finally cave.

[strange elk]

That's not really the point but like.. Its not like Windows 11 made it easier

[wispy marsh]

clippy?

What if microsoft copilot rebrands to clippyGPT?

[pallid falcon]

Discord sure went back with gradient names

[sharp lynx]

honestly they shouldve kept control panel lol

[strange elk]

No they should've depreciated that and unified settings back in windows 10

[wispy marsh]

8.1*

[pallid falcon]

Keep the old ui versions im used to

[strange elk]

8 was enough of a mess I'll excuse that

But it should've been taken care of after that

[wispy marsh]

Also they should've deprecated some things a long time ago

8 had major dissatisfaction globally

However, i love 8.1 and the grouped apps

I could position all of my links on the start menu and click once

[strange elk]

I liked 8. One of the few. Was also in middle school though.

[wispy marsh]

The 11 garbage should be deprecated

[strange elk]

7 was peak Windows and I don't see that ever changing now in my eyes

10 was at least tolerable for the most part.. At least a little later in its life

[wispy marsh]

10 is good, a little better than 8.1 if all the privacy-invading things didn't make their way in

[sharp lynx]

10 was good but i miss the aero days

10 and 11 both fixed many problems for me while introducing old ones along the way

[wispy marsh]

Aero is still here though

It was rebranded to Liquid Glass

[strange elk]

11 added a cool terminal and shit android support. Now that the latter is gone there's no point for me to run 11 aside from getting updates.

[cedar forge]

I have been on Windows my entire life, but I tried Debian recently. I don't think I am looking back and I needed more practice with CLI.

[wispy marsh]

Linux is alright

Kasm and webtop are amazing

[cedar forge]

Uh oh, you might've started something

[strange elk]

Loving Linux now. More than win 7

[sharp lynx]

yeah but it has a long ways to go imo before id say it can stand where aero stood

[cedar forge]

Distros?

[sharp lynx]

maybe i just need to finally learn how fkn linux works inside and out so i can rice this shit lol

[strange elk]

Worth

Takes time, patience, and a lot of search-fu

But worth

[cedar forge]

I only got into Linux for its stability I needed for some servers.

What is ricing? In the context of Linux.

[vital ice]

can someone PLEASE help me with my minecraft server??? ive been trying to get this to work for 2 days and im using cybrancee please dm me if u can help in any way

[wispy marsh]

I bet Liquid Glass will last at least a decade

[wispy marsh]

Depends on what you like, the ones i run are alpine dockers provided by kasm and linuxserver

[strange elk]

Customizing your desktop in a way that you like basically

[sharp lynx]

deep customization. you basically make it look exactly like you want

[strange elk]

Reskins to full overhauls

Possibilities are quite literally almost limitless if you know what you are doing

[cedar forge]

Oh aesthetics? I mean I understand why I didn't really come across that now. I do like a good design just personally I don't do it.

[sharp lynx]

oh damnit, i was trying to recommend a subreddit lol not mention yknow what

[cedar forge]

Any additional functionalities? Or is it purely UI?

[sharp lynx]

search up r/unix(insert the word to describe adult content here) on reddit and have a look at what people do to customize their distro

[strange elk]

There's plenty you can add or remove functionality wise yea

[cedar forge]

Mmmm, ok Ill check it lut

[strange elk]

KDEs got widgets right? I haven't touched it much since 2019. Only "recently" put it on another pc

[sharp lynx]

cant decide if i wanna use cinnamon or kde. prob cinnamon. i wanna take a plunge and install arch so i can learn the basic idea of how a distro is set up, so i can better understand how it works, where folders and files and programs are stored, etc

[strange elk]

Unless you are doing Linux mint, I don't recommend cinnamon

Sooner would recommend XFCE

[tardy flare]

hello linux abusers

[strong kettle]

sif 😱

[tardy flare]

how are we doing today

[sharp lynx]

im still trying to figure out what distro to use on my fw16, i wanna make sure i can get something lightweight so i have a better shot at gaming, and something where i can have some consistency learning how linux is put together

[tardy flare]

fw16?

[sharp lynx]

framework laptop 16

[tardy flare]

you want a compatible linux distro for gaming

[sharp lynx]

thats the abbreviation we use for it in the framework discord

[strange elk]

Framework and Mint work together I thought. Or at least I think Mint wanted to focus some support on them

[tardy flare]

well ubuntu 14.0.01 is good

[tardy flare]

i see , i'll make sure to remember that

[sharp lynx]

ye i went to look at their linux support site and under the framework 16 it says that mint is community supported and not officially supported

ubuntu is tho

[strange elk]

Ubuntu 14 is like.. 10 years old isn't it?

[tardy flare]

🦅 yes

[tardy flare]

my bad 24.04.03

🤡

[sharp lynx]

maybe ill give xfce a try. though i like the widgets and panels n such from cinnamon too

[strange elk]

Well I wouldn't worry too much about lightweight, most DEs use simular resources. KDE is a great though. Do they support Fedora? That would probably be ideal tbh.

[sharp lynx]

i think they do ye

https://frame.work/ca/en/linux

[tardy flare]

damn my tech know is restricted to linux ubuntu

a framework laptop

[strange elk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rPdeiCugXo

[strange elk]

Yea personally I'd recommend Fedora or Mint. I have a bias against Ubuntu/Canonical

[tardy flare]

hey is kali linux similar to ubuntu or diff is vast?

[strange elk]

Kali is based on Arch with I think XFCE or LXQT

Not similar at all

[tardy flare]

🦅 they should identify premium clients cross platform too

what's the point of showing adds cross platfrom

[strange elk]

Also don't bother with Kali even if you are the target audience, a pentester or security researcher

[tardy flare]

the thing is i work on laptop so i can't have luxury of vm

aah i'll hate not being able to grow my mc world in kali

[sharp lynx]

how come

[strange elk]

I used VMs on my Celeron n3050 in high school

[tardy flare]

🦅 performance?

[strange elk]

Not great, but it worked

I mean it was a celeron after all

[tardy flare]

i see

i might be able to do somthing then

🦅

[strange elk]

If you are a security researcher or pentester I'd recommend parrotOS. Otherwise use something normal.

Its just a bunch of packages added in you don't need

[tardy flare]

allright noted

[pallid falcon]

My class gave us all parrot machines but didnt trust us enough to give us network access on them or make them persistent </3

[tardy flare]

i hate that

package i'll never use

[strange elk]

Yea. I mean it's cool in theory, "hacker os" but it doesn't mean anything if you have no idea what your toolkit is even for

[pallid falcon]

Our use was pentesting vulnerable machines and also emulated phishing

We.. phished ourselves as a assignment. It was interesting

[cedar forge]

@sharp lynx yea I looked at r/Unix(regular internet stuff)

That's awesome, I didn't know I wanted that till I saw that.

[sharp lynx]

lmao one more reason to make the switch

[cedar forge]

I work on windows and ipadOS, BTW IpadOS sucks, then Linux for backend stuff. I could switch everything I do with windows to Linux but I use a shit ton of software and I PC game.

[strange elk]

Look for protondb

And areweanticheatyet

[pallid falcon]

How tf do you login to it

[dawn gazelle]

Silly question. Mineral oil can be used on PCs. Baby oil is technically mineral just smells good. Can you use baby oil as a substitute for mineral oil

[strange elk]

Steam?

[pallid falcon]

Protondb. Whenever i try it always says unhandled exception caught.

[strange elk]

Idk, haven't experienced that

You just sign into steam and link to your account essentially though.

[pallid falcon]

Always takes me here

[strange elk]

If you aren't making a contribution you don't need to sign in to show your library though. Scroll down on the page I was on and you can put your steam id if your profile is public to see your game compatibility

[strange elk]

What browser is this anyway

[pallid falcon]

Chrome

[strange elk]

Weird

[pallid falcon]

Yeah I visit games or try logging in that happens

Same with my friends too </3

Vpn far away works tho sometimes

[strange elk]

I need to auth so that's as far as my testing is going. Idk maybe try another day. I know it did work whenever I last signed in on LibreWolf on desktop

[pallid falcon]

Been happening over a month

Others reported same crap on their discord

[strange elk]

Actually signed In on vanadium (chromium fork) just fine

No idea what the issue could be tbh. Regional maybe? I mean if the VPN works sometimes

[sharp lynx]

so damn, xfce is looking like a real contender here

what desktop environment does steamos use again

[gentle slate]

I really dont like whoever at windows decided this should be how address bars function.

its... just useless

did you get injured

Are you sure it was not gunshots at the generator then it exploded

Nope

Im pretty sure

[viscid elm]

Nice

hey guys

what is up

[viscid elm]

no

[warped burrow]

Guys pls answer ASAP i

I have a 2tb drive should I have a separate partition for windows on it or should I just have a single one

[kind vine]

https://tenor.com/view/gundam-iron-blooded-orphans-ibo-barbatos-umapyoi-densetsu-gif-3715525573600054978

[viscid elm]

single

zero benefit from multi

[covert cradle]

single and only make it 85-90% of the capacity so that it's safe to max it out without causing an extreme performance degradation

[warped burrow]

erm what

[viscid elm]

wat

just do max and remeber to not max it out

[covert cradle]

if it's an SSD. I guess I shoud've asked instead of assuming

[viscid elm]

i do not think the pagefile can be used if lets say he partition the drive 90% of what he has and maxes it

[covert cradle]

overprovisioning is pretty normal thing. A lot of people have difficulty keeping themselves from maxing out a drive so it helps

[viscid elm]

also if you manage to break NAND in a non caching task then WOW

[full fossil]

umapyoi densetsu mentioned 🗣️

[random osprey]

hi

[fossil frost]

yet another reason why the UK Government should not be allowed to comment on, let alone regulate, anything to do with tech... without somebody in the room who actually knows something about tech... this has got to be the stupidest thing to come out of the government since the last stupid thing to come out of the government, which was last week, and then the week before... https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/uk-government-inexplicably-tells-citizens-to-delete-old-emails-and-pictures-to-save-water-during-national-drought-data-centres-require-vast-amounts-of-water-to-cool-their-systems

[zinc kite]

Funny how 1984 is based in London..

[supple pawn]

It's not just the UK government, it's all governments. The issue is the age of the politicians.

[pallid falcon]

How old that screenshot lol

[fossil frost]

being old isnt an excuse for being ignorant

[supple pawn]

Its a funny thing, that.

Current politicians are from an era before such tech became widespread and therefore never learned how it works. They could, of course, but most people when they reach a certain age stop going out of their way to learn about new things, they just don't care.

Meanwhile the new generations came about when all that shit was already figured out and they will end up taking it for granted.

[polar fern]

🤷‍♂️

[supple pawn]

Its not, but you'll find that the majority of people just stop trying to learn new things at a certain age and just become complacent. I'm not saying its good or right, just that it happens.

[pallid falcon]

Im gonna text u a email did you get it on your msn

[polar fern]

Current politicians can suck a 👠

[fossil frost]

not fully the case now. many politicians, now, especially in the uk, since they are not all in their 80s like in the USA, they are largely 30s - 60s... many of them have grown up with at least a basic knowledge of tech and how tech is in the world. a lot of them are around my age, so would be PRIME for knowing better... but they just dont, because knowing better and doing what is right, does not win votes... thinly veiling a surveillance law as "for the kids" does win you votes... weaponised racism, wins you votes... blaming "big tech", wins you votes

[pallid falcon]

The same politicians claiming kids online safety thing is about kids and no other motive?

[polar fern]

Most people can’t imagine running for office, which is the problem. You get people who want a free ride + perks while fucking things up for everyone

[supple pawn]

Well, I'd be good with blaming big tech, but they do it for the wrong reasons. Plenty of reasons to do so, but the actual good reasons would cost them money, and they can't have that.

[fossil frost]

they know full well its about surveillance, but they also know full well that wont fly with the general public, so they hide behind "the kids"

[polar fern]

Needing age verification to use the internet is like needing a retinal scan to use a library. It serves no useful purpose. It’s all about surveillance & control.

It’s all about stifling free expression in the end

[pallid falcon]

[polar fern]

Not sure why more people aren’t burning cars in the streets to be frankly honest. Shit is getting very bad.

Insert comment about you can only squeeze people so much before they squeeze back

[pallid falcon]

Let's invite them to a taco bell date and talk it through with all UK politicians in therapy

Naw. Yeet into the sun.

we should stop using it

Unless they’re just empty shells? But they have a vin number

Idk

[sage quiver]

It does just say "Chassis"

Didn't have a motor when they rolled it down the hill

[supple pawn]

Yeah, 'chassis' heavily implies 'rolling chassis', which means minus motor and drivetrain.

VIN is tied to the frame/chassis and is what the DMV registers, typically. Motor doesn't need to match.

Still, given the weight, might be worth $500 in scrap.

or they've probably been sold out.

Does anyone know anything about that lan party at CES?

Tickets for 2026 will be opening soon

Idk how to get into the lan party thoguh

Several LMG people were at the lan party last year though

[strange elk]

man im historically a good ideas man but man I need more ideas man

[fresh ermine]

Somehow I fucked up the cables on my 10 year old self built robot and basically turned my bot into joe swanson

Every time I repaired a leg. The other leg's cable just came loose and took me 4 FUCKING HOURS TO FIX ONE LEG

The code from my bot is also closed source, as the bot's parts came from weekly magazines, somehow people are able to mod it but the community refused to elaborate

[cerulean canopy]

dont move servos like that, they generate power and can fry themself or your electronics

5600 and a used rx 6800 xt or rtx 3080

if new, then RX 9060 XT 16GB or wait to see what Intel does with their Arc B770

shit, i have to change my gpu and psu

I am really curious not trying to be mean

Cause like making them pay thousands of dollars for ambulance ride seems weird to me

[winged spire]

The most inefficient spending possible basically

[versed void]

makes sense

[winged spire]

Something that I’ve recently found out about is that basically all healthcare revenue comes from America

Healthcare companies don’t make hardly anything in the European markets and such so in practice the US is subsidizing European’s healthcare development lol

either ironic or clever

in my country healthcare companies takes 1/10 of salary but everything else is free after that

guys can i run a 4090 with a 750W

[heady flicker]

if you have a very good power supply then maybe

[sharp notch]

its a MSI MAG A750GN

@heady flicker https://www.msi.com/Power-Supply/MAG-A750GN-PCIE5

[heady flicker]

maybe consider a PSU upgrade if you plan on getting a 4090. Though, the A-GN series haven't been tested by maintainers from SPL

[sharp notch]

psu upgrade in terms of watts?

[heady flicker]

that too

[sharp notch]

i mean my psu is like 1 month old 🗿

i should prolly just get like a 4080 then right @heady flicker

current gpu is 3080

[heady flicker]

maybe look into getting a 5070 Ti instead of a 4080

unless you can get your hands on a 4080 for like $700

Hi, was wondering about the screw driver

I’ve been looking around to see if anyone reviewed it for industrial application and didn’t see anything. I was looking at the wera and came across it. Has anyone used it at work?

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=845HUaWYSQA

[austere flame]

I’ve seen that, the problem is it’s not a practical use case. I was hoping for some anecdotes.

The back drag test looks nice for what I’d be using it for, but does it give out in 5 weeks of daily use at 25-35 inch lbs etc

Thank you though

[oak pier]

I’ve used it in the theatrical shop i volunteer at without issue

mostly theatrical lighting

including some light electrical work like reterminating cables

i’ve disassembled and reassembled numerous lighting instruments with it

Don't delay, buy your LTT Screwdriver today! 🤣

[jagged frost]

is there a reason ltt switched to 16:9 from DCI 4k this last week?

[austere flame]

Not feeling the no bit storage with that one

I think the big appeal in the ltt is that it looks like handle tip spins and it has low back drag

[oak pier]

i imagine it’s just greater compatibility with most monitors

[jagged frost]

afaik previously they were using DCI because it played better on phones, which was at some point at least 60% of their viewership, but tbf how many of those are really watching in horizontal

(saw this bc i was talking a friend whether to edit the project I'm shooting in DCI, 16:9, or full sensor 3:2)

can you not shine any light on it lmao

[vapid smelt]

looks prett close Garden orb-weaver spiders, like the black and yellow garden spider (Argiope aurantia), are venomous but not dangerous to humans. Their venom is primarily used to subdue insects, their prey, and is not medically significant to humans. While they can bite, the effects are usually mild, like a bee sting, with localized redness, swelling, or itching.

[cedar forge]

I know the other two.

Apples Max Pro Wheels Kit

Polishing Cloth

[plucky perch]

the polishing cloth came with my macbook and it's actually really nice

as much as it pains me to say that

[cedar forge]

Its got so many other features microfiber cloths don't have. Like the apple logo and...

Ya know

Stuff

[plucky perch]

whatever threading it has is doing a better job than any of my other microfiber cloths. i'm sure there's 1:1 stuff for a fraction of the price tho

[vapid smelt]

AND THE $999 MONITOR STAND

[plucky perch]

can't forget the $200 vesa adapter

https://ro.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZqZDgn hi i am planing my first ever pc build and i was wandering if it is okey, it isnt in usd also do i really need a 850w psu? or can i go with a 600w one?

[viscid elm]

Why is there a 850w there

[vale mist]

for the 5070, i thougth it would be better

[viscid elm]

The 5070 uses like 250w

[vale mist]

so i can go with a 600w psu

[viscid elm]

Yes

[vale mist]

thanks

so it will be about 1400 usd , right in my budget

[vapid smelt]

https://ro.pcpartpicker.com/list/4P2ngn cheaper and much faster

[vale mist]

thanks but i kinda need a itx build like a imove a lot and it's easier for me

[vapid smelt]

get a laptop

[vale mist]

i have a crappy laptop so i will stick to a itx build

but thanks for the list

[vapid smelt]

https://ro.pcpartpicker.com/list/cYy73w here is a much smaller case

[vale mist]

okey i will look and see if it fits my budget

[vapid smelt]

https://ro.pcpartpicker.com/list/dNXNh7 same case stronger gpu

and 55 ron cheaper

[vale mist]

can i swapout the corsair psu witha 600w be quiet one?

[vapid smelt]

yeah

[vale mist]

soo yeah thanks i will go with this i think, also just asking why a 7600 not a 7600x? like is there not a big difference between the two?

[vapid smelt]

no real diffrence between them

[vale mist]

okey thanks

[vapid wharf]

So I applied to work at razer as their ML engineer and they wanted me to do interview. Since they're a gaming company, I will pull a complete funne during their technical interviews:

Are tool assisted run permitted?

[coarse edge]

hi!

[paper timber]

Guys W or L

[austere shale]

So, Microcenter will give me $1120 for my 4090, and they have some 5090s on sale right now for $2200 so I could get a 5090 for $1080 plus tax

Should I do it?

[hot tartan]

Newegg will offer much more for their trade in

See what offers they have

Idk what 4090 you have, but value should be around the same

[austere shale]

I’ll still take a look but I’d still more consider going with mucrocenter because I can actually go in store and do it. No waiting for shipping

[hot tartan]

I understand that Microcenter is very convenient, but this would be a 5090 for $800 lol

[austere shale]

Yea, that does sound better but I looked into it and I have to buy the GPU full price, THEN ship in my trade in and after they test it then I’m credited. Idk if I want the full $2500 missing from my account for however long it takes them to do their process, only to save a couple hundred bucks

Especially since I don’t have the original box for the 4090, so I’d have to wait to get the 5090, install it, then ship the 4090 back in the 5090s box, that sounds like at least a week or two just for it to get to Newegg, then they start their process

[hot tartan]

yeah I understand that

[pearl canopy]

guys random question but why do they say "owns a display" when they show plouffe? is there a lore behind it or something?

[plush grotto]

I think it's just that he/they have mentioned that he owns a certain display a bunch of times.

[pearl canopy]

o ok thx

[gilded quest]

Plouffe did a ton of monitor unboxings on short circuit

[zealous grail]

Yay

Wait are you ltt staff? And are you included in the videos?

[austere shale]

Well, it’s either weapons testing or for surveillance. I think that’s a given though

I was gonna joke that it was the space lasers that cause the wildfires, but turns out they actually do test “laser communications” on it

[winged spire]

Laser communications aren’t a conspiracy theory 😂

[austere shale]

Yea but still funny

[pale hearth]

Not sure if this is the right chat. Typically I lurk, but I went to my moms house who is a hoarder and found a PC from 1993 we used as kids. Any fun ideas on what I should do with it? It's missing the hard drive. The case is rad, still turns on.

[forest wedge]

[gilded quest]

No lol
I've just watched most of their videos

[forest wedge]

[gilded quest]

When all the OLED monitors started releasing, plouffes was basically the monitor guy for LTT

[pale hearth]

Yeah, it locks the power switch. My dad used it to keep us off.

[wraith sonnet]

Wild hypothetical, with this age verification garbage going on what is the likelihood all of this could be circumvented by having a one time 1 USD charge for what the "free-tier" of a given platform is? Granted some platforms people won't want tied to a contact method at all but it may be a notable sacrifice.

"I'd buy that for a dollar"

[full fossil]

a what

[wraith sonnet]

Age verification laws sprouting up everywhere, if 1 USD could prevent the Honeypot from existing it would be fairly inconsiquential

both options tie you to giving your info to someone. not a fan of either

[fossil frost]

my CEO has a bet with the CEO of the parent company. that our dev team could get to 2000km cycled in fewer days than the parent company dev team... whoever wins, chooses the charity the companies donate to at the end of the year. another team member and i, are both ironman triathletes.. and frequently spend our free time doing 100km+ bike rides.. currently trying to decide if we front load a bunch of KM's, or if we let them think they are winning first, and then do a few days each, back to back, to rip the lead away from them 😄

[viscid elm]

are you in the Netherlands

[fossil frost]

[viscid elm]

o wow

good luck

na you already have been doing it for a while

its pretty amazing how far and how easy you can get around on a bike some places

[fossil frost]

when i jokingly suggested this in the middle of a meeting where he was explaining it. somebody messaged me on teams "be careful... he would rather pay you 2 full days, to sit on a bike for 7 hours, both of you... than lose this bet... if you are saying this, be prepared to be called out on it"... to which i replied "i do this in my free time... for free... if somebody is gonna pay me for it... thats even better"

[inner lichen]

Is this cooler better than this assasin 120 single tower? I can get it for 10 cad, but it is very old, like 10 years old i think

[viscid elm]

what cpu

[inner lichen]

Bequiet shadow rock 2

5800x

[viscid elm]

great cpu

does that cooler even come with am4 mounting?

[inner lichen]

Yea

[fossil frost]

5800x can be cooled with the stock cooler. so either of those will probably be fine

[viscid elm]

then its fine

[inner lichen]

I think so😄

[viscid elm]

uuuuuhhhhhhhh
Thermal Solution (PIB)
Not Included

[fossil frost]

i didnt say it was included, i said it would cool it fine

[inner lichen]

I believe this will screw on am4 stock plate, correct me if m wrong

[viscid elm]

its not

also missing a screw
