728 mold sets for dental aligners from just two machines in 24 hours?
︀︀
︀︀For this project we set up a fully automated workflow around two @formlabs Form 4BL printers, paired with a wash station and curing machine.
︀︀
︀︀The printers themselves are excellent, but continuous scalable production requires more than just printing. We designed custom baskets for part handling and built a gripper that works seamlessly across the entire process - from printer to washer to curing and storing.
︀︀
︀︀With automated transfers and scheduling, the two printers produced 728 complete dental mold sets in a single day, without manual intervention.
︀︀
︀︀This setup shows how even a compact cell can reach industrial-scale output when the full workflow is automated. I would love to see hundreds of those machines in a line tended by a robot but it seems like with the productivity they have people rarely have more than 5 in a single room. Automating two of them was grea…

This is fuckin sick

[covert cradle]

this is just switch dependent. Someone has probably created a comparison of switches and their actuation force/distance out there somewhere

[covert cradle]

https://keybumps.com/switch-list.html
sort by pre-travel or operation, depending on what you mean by barely have to touch

[heady flicker]

probably looking for hall-effect switch keyboards

you can make them trigger after travelling 0.1mm compared to like 1.8-2.0mm on a average switch

[covert cradle]

those would probably be ideal, yeah. That site doesn't seem to list all HE switches that exist, so maybe not the best comparison site

[heady flicker]

they all might as well be the same thing

[covert cradle]

nah, they do have different springs still. If they also want really low-force then a comparison on that would be good

[ripe pond]

what i mean is that its like u can blow oin the keyboard and all fo a sudden it registers, or ngl at least better than what i have riht now which is a razor huntsman mini 60% with purple switches

[plush sluice]

Dang would that fit a PC and two monitors on it though? Looks good though

[tame ginkgo]

The pc would go in the side shelf door area, but how big are your monitors

[plush sluice]

Both 27 in

[tame ginkgo]

Is some overhang okay

[plush sluice]

But then you can’t see it..

[plush sluice]

I mean I guess

[tame ginkgo]

Well i have one 24 inch monitor but you could definetly fit a second ine

However no pc could go on it at all

[plush sluice]

Oh alr

[covert cradle]

Nothing is quite that low force, but the lowest force HE switch would get you the closest possible

[ripe pond]

whats ur thougts on this

[covert cradle]

I don't own that so my opinion is limited to specs; it's 45g so not quite the lowest force that exists. Seems that 30g is the lowest for HE. 45g is still reasonable imo though
https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/collections/magnetic-hall-effect-switches?sort_by=manual&filter.v.price.gte=0&filter.v.price.lte=35.00&filter.p.m.switch.force=30

whether anything with 30g switches exists in your budget though, idrk. possibly not

Oh ok

[covert cradle]

It's analog, not digital so they aren't drop-in replacements for traditional switches. Board and firmware needs to be designed for it.

We have air conditioning that's about it

[pliant karma]

Not to mention some equipment is exposed to the sun for quite a bit.

Could you put song lyrics on a wallpaper on a computer?

not really

[heavy grotto]

Also what is a good wallpaper engine? I’m possibly willing to spend a bit of money on a really good one but if there’s any free ones that would be great

[oak pier]

wallpaper engine

[heavy grotto]

Oh that’s fine

[oak pier]

on steam

[heavy grotto]

That does cost money though right?

[oak pier]

a couple dollars

but the free ones almost universally suck

[heavy grotto]

Oh

[heavy grotto]

Kind of makes sense

Yeah it costs $7.50 Australian dollars

[oak pier]

hard to monetize a free wallpaper engine app without it being obtrusive, so usually they just manage it in their free time

whereas the wallpaper engine app has a dedicated team iirc

[heavy grotto]

[winged spire]

Eww this brass insert got DIRTY

[sharp notch]

is giving GPU a repaste hard

[winged spire]

Not really

I’d recommend thermal pads though

There’s a lot more to fuck up then a CPU But if you just go slow and handle with care you should be fine

[sharp notch]

do stores usually give GPU repaste service as often as CPU repaste ones

[deft void]

Nah I do it for fun

[winged spire]

Not usually

Someone like geeksquad at bestbuy might

[hazy parrot]

nah, liability reasons.

[sharp notch]

can CPU pastes be used on GPU

[hazy parrot]

ye

[oak pier]

they can, but it’s best to use a phase change pad or LM if the gpu has the necessary sealant

normal paste doesn’t hold up too well with direct die contact

[solemn hatch]

Can someone answer a question for me, please?

[deft void]

Do thermal pads wear out? Idk if I should change mine

[sharp notch]

how much do repaste and thermal pads usually drop temps by? if like my temps underload rn is 80-88

[hazy parrot]

sure, whats your vram temps

[deft void]

Never payed attention to that ngl

[hazy parrot]

depends on age

[oak pier]

depends on the exact gpu sample you have, the exact wear of the paste you have rn, and a million other factors

[deft void]

My rx 580 has original thermalpads and it had original thermalpaste till recently

[uneven basin]

Can I rant about my glorious microcenter experience here rq?

[oak pier]

yes

[uneven basin]

Copy pasting

My microcenter just owned me 😭

A worker came around while I was looking for my gpu and told me he could grab everything if I gave him my list, I did and he brings it over to the counter.

I only checked over the main parts real quick and paid and went home because we inputted each item into a part picker list really carefully together.

This guy forgot the case fans even after pointing out my choice.

I also mentioned that I saw people online saying the bundle I got didn’t have ram compatible with the motherboard it came with unless you flashed the bios which he assured me wasn’t true (it was indeed true)

And to top it all off this mf gets commission for my build 🥀🥀

[sharp notch]

RTX 3080 Gigabyte Turbo (Blower)
and tbf my fancases are shit. its builtin case fans with slow ass RPMM. 1 exhaust 2 intake

@oak pier i also still use ryzen stock cooler on my 5600 rn

didnt rly know much abt temps n shit before upgrading my PC just a month ago

[hazy parrot]

did you pay for the fans

[oak pier]

blower gpu…

[uneven basin]

Bro threw in a 2tb nvme instead of the 500 gig one too 😭

[oak pier]

good luck having good temps without crazy noise

[uneven basin]

No the counter scanned the items individually so in the end it was pretty much my fault entirely

Still upset this guy made money today

[hazy parrot]

you watch ltt and dont wanna build it yourself?

[sharp notch]

i mean i undervolt it and it doesnt make any noise

@oak pier im not saying its silent but it doesnt scream like a baby no more since i undervolted

• Motherboard: ASRock B550M-C WiFi
• RAM: 16GB TeamGroup Delta RGB DDR4 (3200MHz)
• Storage: 1TB Kingston NVMe SSD
• OS: Windows 11 (pre-installed)
  Is this good for 500$

[oak pier]

good

don’t cross post

[solemn hatch]

Gotcha, it’s good for the price though?

[oak pier]

check the channel you originally posted in

[sharp notch]

i mean im not no PC genius so getting a new thermal paste for both my CPU and GPU + buying an actual cooler for my CPU should be fine right

[oak pier]

if you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t repaste the gpu

[sharp notch]

@oak pier or are these thermal pads that ppl mean

[sharp notch]

im going to a store ofc, my regular store guy

[oak pier]

kryosheet is the only ptm pad there, the rest are thermal pads or putty

you do not want a thermal pad or putty for your die

though it’s not technically ptm-7950 which would be ideal

[queen glen]

I need to buy like broken high end gpus just for the sake of putting them on a peg board or shelf

[median idol]

PhaseSheet is PTM-7950 is it not?

Does the retailer not have Phasesheet in stock?

[oak pier]

it’s a PTM material, just not specifically PTM-7950

think coke vs pepsi, both are colas, but pepsi isn’t coke (not an analogy for performance)

[hazy parrot]

honeywell doesnt sell it in, consumer friendly quantities

[oak pier]

LTT store does

assuming it’s actually in stock

[median idol]

Ahhhhhh I see

[sweet maple]

Is "PTM-7950" thermal paste.

[hazy parrot]

kinda

[median idol]

https://tenor.com/view/well-yes-but-actually-no-meme-aardman-the-pirates-pirate-gif-26563702

[hazy parrot]

sometimes

[oak pier]

no

it’s a thermal pad that can phase transition to a liquid when it’s warmed up

so in the broadest definition of the term, yes, but for anything actually helpful, no

[median idol]

PhaseSheet and other PTM equivalents are now my go-to for GPU dies or bare dies in general

[oak pier]

they’re nice for IHSes too

but they really perform better than paste on direct dies

[median idol]

Yeh for CPUs, I just use stuff like Duronaut, NF-T1/2, MX4/6, or whatever comes with those Thermalright air towers

[oak pier]

i almost always just use whatever came with the cooler

though i have a tube of the noctua stuff for when i need to remount

it’s cheap and works well, which is fine for most of my builds

[hazy parrot]

local best buy got some of that corsair xtm 70, works on the gpu and cpu

[random radish]

should I buy a thinkpad T440P? I need help deciding if I should buy that or a t14 gen 1.

[hazy parrot]

yall ever thermal putty your gpu vram and vrm?

apparently takes the guesswork out of the equation

rn I got thermal pads torn in 3 different places that got mushed back together before closing it up

[median idol]

I have entertained the idea of thermal putty, though I found pads that come with the block to work perfectly fine. Might try it sometime

[hazy parrot]

hm, are you just eyeballing the oem pad and layering aftermarket pad?

[median idol]

combination of both

looking at Igor's Lab covering it ATM

[oak pier]

people usually use the stock pads that come with the block, or they find what the thickness is from the manual

unless you mean repasting your gpu, in which case people either find a resource online that tells them the thickness, or you eyeball it

[median idol]

That's what I do anyway though just curious is all

PSA: this is why you declaw your pets

[twin bobcat]

Damn what kinda pet fucked you up that badly

[abstract oxide]

Just get non violent pets or safely make them non violent declawing is constantly painful for them for a while.

[twin bobcat]

tbh true

[crystal flare]

this little princess

[twin bobcat]

This is why I dislike Cats

There's no real way to discipline them

Actually dislike is the wrong word, I still think they're cute

But anyway, it's much easier to correct a dogs behaviour than it is to correct a cats, those things will just plot and scheme against you and then piss in your cereal

[winged spire]

Nope

[oak pier]

declawing is always harmful for the pet, and you never have to

train your pet

[winged spire]

Fun fact, amputating cat’s knuckles isn’t the solution to being a bad owner

[oak pier]

what if i amputated the tips of your fingers because you scratched me?

[winged spire]

Also you absolutely CAN train a cat

[dark forge]

You have to sell it to them

[winged spire]

Yep

It’s a 2 way street, like every other relationship you have

James scratched me really really bad one time when he was like 7 months old, he was fuckinf around at the edge of my bath and fell in and accidentally sliced my leg open lol

Bro does not stand on the edge of the tub anymore

🤣

[vernal creek]

well that was kinda a punishment for stealing in some cultures(still is)

[crystal flare]

cats have a mind of their own there's no way to teach them discipline. all i did was pet my cat and she went full blown psycho and mauled my hand.

they're not like dogs.

or parrots.

[winged spire]

You absolutely can teach them

They aren’t gonna do tricks for you like a puppet but they will work with you

[raven grove]

Clearly this is something medically wrong with either you or your cat because all of my cats don't do that

Many vets don't even declaw because it's so harmful

[dark forge]

Cats are having a bad day most of the time, or at least that’s how they act

[crystal flare]

i've notice she acts like a diva most of the time.

[dark forge]

Somehow, I have no problem with cats acting like divas

How do roblox games get so popular, 40 million concurrent players from only 2 games

[vast crow]

My friend bought a 4060ti 8gb pc with a i5 12400f for 1.2k. Thought id share his stupidity

[rose cargo]

and you are a bad friend for letting him do that and clowning on him

[vast crow]

No, its because he called me a dumbass for wanting to buy a 9070xt because „nvidia is better“

Wanted to teach him a lesson

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D - 32 GB RAM - 2TB NVME SSD - RX 6800 XT 16GB is this pc good for 900bucks?

[plush grotto]

Decent cpu. Good amount of ram. Okay storage. A decent gpu.
And for 900.
Probably

[heady flicker]

it's alright, a 7800x3d would be faster for gaming

[plush grotto]

78x3d is better than 79x3d?

[heady flicker]

for gaming, for games that cannot fully utilize the extra cores that a 7900x3d has over the 7800x3d

since a 7900x3d only has 6 cores with the l3 cache

while a 7800x3d has 8, so 2 more cores than 7900x3d

[twin bobcat]

That one spun me out when I heard about it too

[rose cargo]

7900x3d is dual 6 core ccds absolutly garbage e waste cpu imo, just get a 7800x3d

[twin bobcat]

Also that technically the 7800 is still better than the 9800 in terms of power draw and actual performance (I believe) I could be wrong

And then I think the thermals were a bit worse on one of them, can't remember which though

[vast crow]

Its a whole pc you fucking illeterate monke

[rose cargo]

@vast crow and @fossil frost prove me wrong then

[heady flicker]

9800x3d is more power efficient and faster
7800x3d usually much better cost for performance if any leftover stock remains

[twin bobcat]

That's the one

[rose cargo]

i wasnt responding to you, are you high?

[twin bobcat]

Gut the cpu and buy a new one then

[vast crow]

First, i want a pc for fucking productivity, not all pf us are degenerate gamers whp don’t touch grass.

[vast crow]

The extra cores are beneficial for me

[twin bobcat]

Then use that one? Why are we so angry

[fossil frost]

it would be true if the PC was ONLY running a game, and thats it, was never going to do anything else... if they even consider streaming, or doing any sort of work from it, or running an OS that the game runs on top of.. or literally anything else at the same time. then the 7900 is better.. if they want to do any sort of productivity based work at all... 7900 is loads better... not everyone uses their PC for ONLY gaming

[vast crow]

Thank you

But im thinking of gutting the gpu and getting a. 9070xt

[rose cargo]

still hasnt told how I was wrong about the 7800x3d being better than the 7900x3d for gaming

[vast crow]

Fair, the 7800x3d is better than the 7900x3d for gaming

[twin bobcat]

I have one currently, nice card and the Sapphire Pulse has a fat ass heatsink so it never gets hot or coil whines, there are a few weird driver issues still present that I've dealt with though

[vast crow]

But, like i said, i also wanna use it for productivity

[vast crow]

Im thinking pf the xfx swift

[twin bobcat]

Like the card randomly boosting well above it's rated max clock despite limiting it

[fossil frost]

my response wasnt about it being better for gaming or not... my response was to your downright idiotic comment about the 7900 being an "e waste cpu"

Hello fellow Linux enthusiasts

[twin bobcat]

Are... are you gay aswell?

[fossil frost]

<@&750150305383186585>

[wraith spruce]

Only half gay

[twin bobcat]

Not used arch then

[wraith spruce]

I’m a Mac user

[rose cargo]

before my comment about the 7900x3d being e waste you didnt even mansion what you are doing with the computer, as you are not gaming why wouldnt a normal 7900 or even a 7950x be better value🤷‍♂️

[wraith spruce]

What do pc gamers use their hardware for? Do they get parts with the idea of playing a certain game on certain graphics settings? Or is it more of just a “I want my car to be the fastest” type of mentality?

[twin bobcat]

Depends on their budget really

If you have like 6K to chuck at a PC chances are you're just going to go crazy

Wheras if you only care about CS2 or League you'd probably just invest into a good CPU and decent GPU

[wraith spruce]

Seems like such a headache honestly

[twin bobcat]

Meh not really, PC building has come a long way, it's fairly simple once you start looking at parts or a few youtube videos

[wraith spruce]

Maybe I’m just too simplicity/laziness-pilled

[twin bobcat]

There's also prebuilds, some people talk down on them because of the extra cost involved, but it's an option

[wraith spruce]

Most pc gamers play games that are on console

If you play PC exclusives then it makes more sense in my mind

Or if you hate playing on controller

[twin bobcat]

Different strokes for different blokes I suppose

For me, it started with wanting to play CSGO, and once I invested money into a PC it didn't make sense to buy a console

[wraith spruce]

Really wish there was a great in-between for the comfort of controller and mechanical control of keyboard and mouse

[wraith spruce]

That makes sense

[fossil frost]

its only simple if you have the confidence to try, many people dont, and find it daunting, so dont want to even try even when it appears to be simple in a video

[twin bobcat]

Obviously, yeah

What I'm saying is that building computers used to be much more complicated, now there's countless videos and resources available

[vast crow]

Because it came with the pc. The pc is 900 bucks and i found it on ebay

[wraith spruce]

Would you say the same thing about people who don’t want to build a car from parts and instead just buy a “pre-built” car?

[fossil frost]

it used to be less complicated, because everything had its own connector, now everything uses 1 connector.. pci-e. so arguably, its harder because its easier to plug stuff into the wrong slot now than it used to be

[vast crow]

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D - 32 GB RAM - 2TB NVME SSD - RX 6800 XT 16GB this pc is something i found on ebay for 900. should i buy for my friend. He wants to run blender on it

[fossil frost]

im talking back in the days of AGP graphics cards, where graphics cards could only go in the 1 slot. ISA cards would only go in ISA slots. different types of drives would only plug into their own particular types of slot

[twin bobcat]

That's understandable, but again, you can just look this information up, you'll never do if you don't try

[rose cargo]

no where here you said about it being a used PC on ebay or anything, I thought you just made a PC part picker list, other than that if the PC is in good condition and looks decent yeah it would have been better than what you poor friend bought for 1200, and you should tell him to get his money and and buy that being a good friend you are

[twin bobcat]

And besides, plugging a GPU into the second PCI-E slot is hardly going to fry the system, building computers allows for a lot more trial and error than it did in the past

[fossil frost]

building a car from parts is analogous to forging a case, building the motherboard from parts, putting your own GPU together... finding which parts are actually compatible with each other, crafting the compatibility layers yourself. its entirely different to prebuilt vs custom build pc

[twin bobcat]

Custom building a PC is more akin to lego than it is building a car

[fossil frost]

and there are many people who dont like building lego because "its too hard"

[wraith spruce]

??? Who the hell hand-forges their car frame?

You really don’t think assembling a certain pre-made engine, and pre-made wheels, etc to make a car is not comparable to building a custom pc?

[wraith spruce]

This is such an elitist thing to say

[fossil frost]

people who build custom cars from parts, will generally design their own chassis, or take a stock box chassis and design their own sub frames and mounting systems for their parts... so yes... they would hand design the fames

[fossil frost]

no, its not... ive worked in this industry for 25 years, i know how it works.. people who are more than capable intelligence wise, wont build something themselves, because they lack confidence... and people WITH confidence to try, whether they have the inteligence or not... can usually succeed, because they are willing to try

[wraith spruce]

Okay then think about kit cars then if that makes it easier

[fossil frost]

either way, i have no interest on arguing with children on the internet, i have my own actual real life children to attend to :

Hi

I feel bad that ur so butthurt that you need to bring up your children so that people on the internet don’t think ur running away from an argument

[kind kindle]

[wraith spruce]

Hope that guy doesn’t start saying that his kids “lack confidence” when they inevitably want to get a Nintendo or PlayStation 💀

[warped burrow]

"i have no interest on arguing with children" so he just beats them

[wraith spruce]

That guy probably had a rough childhood or something and gaming consoles trigger him in some way. I won’t hold it against him

He probably doesn’t actually think that everyone who doesn’t want to build a gaming PC “lacks confidence.” Hopefully he just said that because he was angry or sad or something

[iron blaze]

i find this server is just full of elitists and just filthy rich ppl

like when i talk about macos or my pc setup i get told it's shit or smth

[pallid falcon]

Idk, I'm just a goober

[iron blaze]

i'm just a silly girl why would i care about my specs that much

so what if i bought a prebuilt back in 2021

i thought it was already good enough i upgraded it with my own parts

[pallid falcon]

Does it do what you need to without issues or slowdowns

[iron blaze]

more or less, still need a better gpu for macos

[pallid falcon]

Then u good

[iron blaze]

well a supported one anyways, i'm running off patched 2017 nvidia drivers

so what if i run macos on my pc, does that make me less of a pc nerd?

[pallid falcon]

Also what channel if its #tech-chat-1 imo that chat is toxic

[iron blaze]

hell i'd say the opposite because it made me understand tons of stuff about how pcs work and my components

[iron blaze]

yup that one

but the other one is quite inactive at times

[pallid falcon]

Tech chat toxic, #public-chat or #pilot-toast where its at

[iron blaze]

what's the second channel

[pallid falcon]

Floatplane chat

[iron blaze]

oh damn

i wanna upgrade my cpu and change my gpu

i upgraded to 32gb ram recently

i'm thinking about an i7-10700 (non-k) from an i5 10400f

[pallid falcon]

Im on 32gb ram, amd something cpu and a nvidia something gpu

[white token]

I have a intel G2020 and idk how the hell is it running my server

[split swift]

Ew why

[vast crow]

I currently have a gtx 1650. ypu are not the only budget baller

[iron blaze]

i had a 1650 before

but i upgraded to a 1080 ti about a year ago

still rocking an i5-10400f

[split swift]

Elitist, no. We believe in not buying things thats a waste of money. Rich, yes there is a couple ppl here who has alot of money lol

[iron blaze]

although i upgraded to 32gb ram a few weeks ago

found it for €20

[split swift]

Good find

Whats the speed and cl

[iron blaze]

ddr4 2400

[split swift]

Oh

[iron blaze]

4 8gb sticks

[white token]

well its not my main server its just a server i tinker with before deploying it on the main servers

[split swift]

Capacity isnt bad, but the speed isnt good lol

[iron blaze]

still a good deal here

[iron blaze]

it's good enough for my needs

[split swift]

How are you able to tinker with anything with 2 cores 2 threads lmao

[iron blaze]

i'm used to way slower ram

like ddr2 and ddr3 speeds

[split swift]

Ddr2?

[white token]

even i dont know it has 6 gb of ram that too mismatched 2 hdds and still doesn't crash

[split swift]

The hdds is fine tbh

[white token]

but those are like 8-9 years old

[split swift]

The 6gigs of ram is useable

[white token]

but ist missmached 1 2gig and 1 4gig

[split swift]

I mean if their health is good, i see no reason to not use them

[iron blaze]

my former main mid 2009 macbook (polycarbonate) has 2c2t and it's actually decently useable for general use, so i think a server for light usage with a g2020 isn't too bad

[white token]

no one critical and one is at bad in omv

[cerulean canopy]

it doesent have vt-d but that doesent matter for classic compute vm

[white token]

not a light use one it had ml and n8n and like NAS stuff

[iron blaze]

still decent enough in my opinion

i dont have a VM on it

Illegal corn

i ccertainly don't have an ltt account and i can spam pics

[twin bobcat]

The UK is pathetic and doesn't let it's people own weapons so I own nothing sadly

Would have to go through like 2 years of background checks and mental health meetings to even qualify for a hunting rifle (.22 btw)

[static perch]

there isn't a good reason to have a gun for regular people

[twin bobcat]

In a functional and ethical society, you'd be right. However, what happens when your society becomes unethical and tyranical, like the UK at the moment

[static perch]

in that case it would be even more important to stop gun access.

air guns are pretty much unregulated here because they require a pressure test, most companies selling them just doctor the numbers

Had an incident in birmingham recently where a dude was just shooting police from his balcony with a high powered air rifle

[vapid smelt]

Oops our test rifle has a small hole in it !

Ghost guns obviously exist here though and are pretty present in crime

ik its a nit picky question but stil...

[vapid smelt]

The cheapest one

[sterile sundial]

nah, but for a 0 regrets type of situation

[ruby nova]

You have to run it like that to make sure the tests are completely fair and independent of any extensions, cache and cookies.

I just tested Chrome and it tied with Edge in everything (not surprised since Zen is Gecko/Firefox, and both Edge and Chrome are Chromium-based).

Chrome was actually slightly worse than Edge, but within the margin of error.

Oh did your sister fix your bumper? @winged spire

[winged spire]

No

[vapid smelt]

What a bad sister

[winged spire]

I’ve been way too busy to keep my car in the shop for a week or whatever

[winged spire]

She is

She’s paying my insurance deductible

[twin bobcat]

I mean what car are you messing about with

[winged spire]

Tesla model 3

Sister backed into my car in the driveway, didn’t tell anyone until I found the damage and immediately knew it was her

I should have called the cops for a hit and run

I got super lucky she didn’t damage the headlight …. Very expensive assemblies

[vapid smelt]

Your car came up too fast for her to react

[winged spire]

This is the 2nd car that has been backed into by a family member in that driveway

Driving is SO EASY if you can’t drive you shouldn’t be allowed to take out loans or vote

[twin bobcat]

That's actually crazy

[winged spire]

Legitimately don’t understand how some people are so bad at driving

It’s not difficult

[twin bobcat]

Look in mirrors
Obey road laws
Stay calm

It's that easy tbh

[winged spire]

Managed to damage 2 separate body panels too

[brazen carbon]

wtf

[somber jewel]

Hmm anyone off the top of their head know what it means when your motherboard light is flashing on/off and nothing else lights up when turning on the power supply?

Just moved into a new place and was setting up my computer and got that pleasant surprise

Surely it’s either motherboard or psu right?

Gpu/cpu wouldn’t cause that right?

[tender glade]

Didn’t forget anything

Have been traveling for the last 21 hours

[vapid smelt]

Where you going?

[winged spire]

Wait what

The US bought 10% of Intel

Government

[oak pier]

who actually owns the stocks though

the us government isn’t a single entity

[heady flicker]

I hope apple's next iPad Pro is good

what agency in the government is even allowed to own stocks

[oak pier]

that’s my question

[vapid smelt]

Not bought

[heady flicker]

maybe like some banking or finance thing

[winged spire]

The us government

[winged spire]

Wym

[oak pier]

easily one of the worst answers imaginable

[vapid smelt]

It was free trump said

[winged spire]

Free?? Bruh

[oak pier]

does that mean intel stock is worth 0 now?

[winged spire]

I literally do not have a simpler answer for you

[oak pier]

what entity actually holds ownership of the stock though?

[winged spire]

US government owns 10%

who owns it?

us government

[heady flicker]

is it just named The United States of America or something

as the shareholder

[winged spire]

Probably

[oak pier]

my best guess would be the US treasury

[heady flicker]

possibly

[heady flicker]

anyway, iPad Pro 2024 sucks, let's hope the iPad Pro 2026 is good

[winged spire]

Insane

“Owns and controls 10%”

10% voting share

[oak pier]

does intel even have a fab in the US?

[winged spire]

Yes?

Several

[oak pier]

oh they have 4 in the US

[vapid smelt]

https://newsroom.intel.com/corporate/intel-and-trump-administration-reach-historic-agreement The government’s equity stake will be funded by the remaining $5.7 billion in grants previously awarded, but not yet paid, to Intel under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act and $3.2 billion awarded to the company as part of the Secure Enclave program. So we are paying? But it's with the money trump withheld?

[winged spire]

Bruh

It’s money already spent on the books so he’s literally just lying about it being free

😐

[heady flicker]

interesting

[winged spire]

That’s some insane girl math

[heady flicker]

he might not have been fully informed about the deal

[winged spire]

What a surprise

It’s almost like that’s literally his entire job

[vapid smelt]

But he said it was Free on TRUTH social so it must be the truth

[winged spire]

If I take money out of an atm and spend it, I haven’t actually used any of my money because I paid with the cash I just took out

[heady flicker]

maybe they'll chargeback using the thing on the credit card

[pallid falcon]

Guys wtf got 2tb teamgroup nvme ssd for my lappy early last year

Not even 1,5y later after not so heavy use...

eventvwr system log spamming 'bad block' event

I took out hdd 10 year old hdd assuming that it was culprit... silly me

How tf an ssd goes bad that fast

Load of crap.

Wasted all day today for nothing. And got ripped off for 2tb

More like 2tb raid array of floppy disk

[viscid elm]

XD someone does not read the news

[vapid smelt]

@edgy sun using windows 11?

[edgy sun]

Nope. 10.

[viscid elm]

Wtf

[edgy sun]

Oh yeah i think i know the news you might be referring to

That controller disappearing thing. Reasons im thankful to still be on 10. Could always be worse i guess

[viscid elm]

Why TF are you not on 11 like yes I was referring to a issue on it but like one and a half months

[edgy sun]

@vapid smelt

[viscid elm]

Welp good thing you have a warranty

[vapid smelt]

im using 10 till its eol

[viscid elm]

So not long

[edgy sun]

Yeah thay was my next plan. Contact teamgroup i guess.

[viscid elm]

Ngl 11 feels way smoother in the animations

[edgy sun]

After the smart checks n stuff. Who knows maybe it is somehow windows behind it

[viscid elm]

And if your Intel and e cores 11 was almost made for it from my understanding

[static perch]

well it could just be bad luck that you just got a drive that had some defect
but also QLC nand (4 bits decoded in one memory cell) are just a lot less durable than SLC MLC and TLC nand

[viscid elm]

Show me a consumer mlc SSD that is made today

[edgy sun]

Fair enough. Yeah i mean if it's failing, then this is the first time. Perhaps i'm overdue on bad luck

Everyone around me seemed to had experienced it at least once already :p

[static perch]

is it still under warranty?

[edgy sun]

Gotta check

Dig up receipts etc. Prolly gonna get on it tmrw

[static perch]

in my country we have 2 years

[edgy sun]

Here (ontario) probably entirely up to whatever teamgroup's warranty policy is

I wouldn't be surprised if it's still covered

Google search claims they have 5 year warranty, so I'm in luck if anything

[static perch]

reminds me that i should do another backup of my data

[plucky perch]

what/where do you back up to?

[static perch]

external drives

[plucky perch]

any software you use?

[static perch]

7zip

i just copy my important files not the entire OS

[plucky perch]

manually dragging and dropping?

[static perch]

i pack everything in a 7zip file and copy it

and i split it cause 1 drive isn't enough for a full backup

i got everything in 1 folder so it's not that much work

otherwise i would have probably made a script or looked for some software by now

[plucky perch]

oh that makes more sense then

yo i need help rq im in a pc store

[viscid elm]

we love to see it

[inland oracle]

does anyone know of a way where you can flip your horizontal mouse controls

so if you look left in a game it looks right

i had this idea where i wanna play r6 siege mirrored but alter the controls so it doesn’t control inverted

does windows have that option?

[stark idol]

I ordered a backplane off of eBay open box
It arrived super dusty and has a rusty bit on the top of the capacitor
I don’t think it’s enough to stop working but so far my hdds aren’t being detected

[plush grotto]

T-10 hours.

[brazen carbon]

thats cheating!!

[inland oracle]

huh?

no everyone else in the game will be playing normally but my display will be horizontally mirrored

[winged spire]

Won’t be there to see it IRL This time 😭

I’m in the middle of bumfuck Kansas rn

[brazen carbon]

if its mirrored gameplay then the controls should also be mirrored

[inland oracle]

…

it’s a challenge dude, i just wanna try and navigate the maps mirrored but reverse the controls so i can move normally

[winged spire]

Schizophrenia is increasing

[brazen carbon]

so its an easy challenge

[inland oracle]

inverted controls isn’t part of the challenge, idk why you’re so insistent on this

i just wanna walk around a mirrored map dude

like the mirror tracks on mario kart

map knowledge is a huge part of siege, it’s like engrained into muscle memory so i just wanna see how confusing it would be to flip maps like oregon

[sharp notch]

guys

how much performance does 1000Mhz memory clock give if defined in like percentages?

[edgy sun]

Macrium reflect free cloned me a win 10 system C: volume and bootloader flawlessly in the entire disk mode I think

But youll have to uninstall after use because of updater and service. It's gonherrea

hey can i fact check something to u

network discovery is turned off. either because your connection is marked as a public connection, or because you havnt specifically allowed network discovery

yes

Hi :3

[pseudo sand]

Guys how do I convince my parents to let me build them a NAS

[silver sun]

582

[pseudo sand]

Real

[soft oracle]

corrupt their files and convince them they need raid

[pseudo sand]

Wtf that's so smart thanks Julian

[soft oracle]

make shure to back them up before XD

[pseudo sand]

Oh obviously

But where... 💔💔

[pallid falcon]

Fill their storage so there phone keeps nagging them to get google photos or icloud, then tell them that a nas is cheaper amd doesnt require a subscription

[soft oracle]

Wetransfer 👍

[fossil frost]

if they are not tech literate, it will be cheaper/less hassle in the long run to just pay for icloud/google storage. you need to pick your battles

[soft oracle]

or just get a nas from synology

[pseudo sand]

We have a 1TB OneDrive subscription that currently costs €99.99/y but my mum doesn't have notifications on for it.. 💔

[fossil frost]

and spend loads of energy/time trying to get them to use it. which they wont, so you have now just wasted money and energy on something they wont use, and then they will just pay for cloud storage anyway. so now you have cloud storage with extra steps and cost

[heady flicker]

it's harder to convince parents

[soft oracle]

well yeah it depends on the purpose. if its just for long time storage its fine but otherwise cloud does the trick.

[heady flicker]

my parents pay $500/yr for norton anti-virus

and been doing so for more than a decade now

[fossil frost]

that is something i would put a stop to. windows defender is plenty

[supple pawn]

I agree with @fossil frost . I built a NAS for my parents. Took me forever to finally convince them to use it. And now I have to fix it every time something goes wrong or they need help. Not worth it tbh
