[vast crow]

I want an aio

[thorny swan]

i have a 2 tb samsung and i used it up in like half a year and had to add a hdd and delete some stuff

[viscid elm]

Can never have a clog or a broken pump with a air cooler

[thorny swan]

true

[vast crow]

Fair

But aios just look sleek

[viscid elm]

Do you play 2TB worth of games every week?

If the pump dies it's a sleek brick

[vast crow]

I had a gtx 1650 laptop with 2tv of storage. I have filled it up ab half way. Im good with 2tv

[thorny swan]

i explore my options and also a vr and a lot of xbox games

[vast crow]

But failures are rare

[harsh quartz]

Mid take

[viscid elm]

Ehhhh

[thorny swan]

more common than you think

[vast crow]

What if i go with the arctic freezer 3

[viscid elm]

I live and breath tech support, the stories aios have is such a pain

[viscid elm]

Lf3 pro is the best aio you can get for Am5 well one of em

[thorny swan]

but the best question is what games do you want to play on it

[vast crow]

Doom, fortnite rdr2 gta cs2 cyberpunk

[thorny swan]

soooo

cpu intensive games

[vast crow]

But i also wanna do unity

[viscid elm]

Soo 7800x3d perfect

[vast crow]

And arch

[thorny swan]

right

[vast crow]

Exactly why i went with it

Its like 330 bucks and almost the same performance as a 9800x3d

[viscid elm]

It's also cheap as balls for 13900k gaming performance

The 9800x3d is VERY VERY VERY different

[vast crow]

Exactly

[vast crow]

Sooo 9800x3d better?

Like ALOT better?

[viscid elm]

With a 5090

[vast crow]

Cuz i wanna play the AAA games at 1440p ultra at 60fps

[viscid elm]

120 you mean

[vast crow]

No, 60s fine

[harsh quartz]

Console player moment

[viscid elm]

Well too bad it can do over 120

[vast crow]

Actually no, i have a gtx 1650

[vast crow]

Wait actually?

[viscid elm]

Ye

[harsh quartz]

Console player moment

[viscid elm]

Your spending 1.6k

[vast crow]

I have a gtx 1650 laptop

[thorny swan]

u just ragebaiting atp

[viscid elm]

Most consoles run games at 60 fps

[vast crow]

So i will get a lot of performance

[harsh quartz]

Man’s looking to do 60fps, that’s a console player at heart

[thorny swan]

1080p

[viscid elm]

While most computer gamers at least around here prefer at least over 120

[viscid elm]

Na they gotten good 4k

[thorny swan]

30 fps max w upscaling

[viscid elm]

Like the PS4 was 1080p 60 for the most part even down to 30 for some very modern games

[harsh quartz]

Aight imma just <@&750150305383186585>

[viscid elm]

They can still see it

[harsh quartz]

Kek

[viscid elm]

Then do not say it in the first place

[flint arch]

i’m trying to decide if I should buy a 5070 ti for playing games on my 4k120 display. I am okay with using DLSS and not playing on max settings, but I do want to play with raytracing and don’t want to use frame gen

[thorny swan]

I have r5 7600x and a 4070 and most of my games run at 120 fps no problem but at 1080 p cuz of my monitor

[thorny swan]

you have a 4k display??

[flint arch]

yeah, a 42” LG c2

and I want to play around with CUDA

[thorny swan]

It might be able to do it no promises but the ai in dlss might be very noticeable

[viscid elm]

Dlss is fine

[viscid elm]

We have tons of people here with 5090s and 5070 ti playing 4k dlss

[flint arch]

it’s very impressive, haven’t even seen DLSS 4 yet but I think I can bear some artifacts more than I can bear an extra $1250 out of my wallet

[strange elk]

I'd consider that card on par with a ps4.. Laptop Idk.

[flint arch]

and DLSS tends to have less artifacts at higher resolutions, right?

[viscid elm]

yes

more detail to go off

[flint arch]

what model should I get that’s within $50 of MSRP

5080 seems to be a waste of money in comparison and the supers seem useful but I’m not sure if I want to wait and deal with scalping and all that that crap

[plush grotto]

Should I wait of the dbrand case for my flip7 or should i buy a Spigen case to use while waiting on it.

It is around 130$ tho

[strange elk]

Spigen hasn't been bad in my experience

[stark crescent]

Weird opinion:

||If you are upgrading from some cheap-ass (mostly free with electronics) peripherals to something better, how much should you even pay? When I went researching, even after increasing my budget by 10 times, people were like it is too low, I'd be better off not buying anything.

Do people not know what budget components are, or do they think everyone can afford to spend a huge portion of their initial build for some pricey components?||

[stark crescent]

Faced the same thing literally everyplace, including here.

[plush grotto]

An upgrade is an upgrade. Anything else is opinions.

[strange elk]

Sounds like some ignorance to me. But things don't really get better till a certain price for some things just due to component cost

Otherwise.. There isn't really a set price

[plush grotto]

All depends on how old the previous items are.

[strange elk]

If we are going 10x $5 then I get it for example

[strange elk]

Also true

[plush grotto]

Like anything new is better than a 980 atm.

Even the trash 5040 or what ever it was

[stark crescent]

I get a pain in my ears with in-ear earphones. I got a Sony MDR-ZX310AP after saving some money.

My dad broke its jack, it just went from repair shops to repair shops because the shops wanted to replace the entire cable with some cheap cable. I refused to do that because I know replacement jacks are also available.

Fast forward to today, it was decided that I will buy the same thing again. When I went to get some opinions because I thought something better could be available for the same price. All they wanted me to do was increase the budget, or they were like nothing good can be found for such prices.

[stark crescent]

The on-ear headphones was clearly better.

But still...

[plush grotto]

On ear is literally the worst.
Over or in ears all the way.

[strange elk]

I still wanna try Koss Porta Pros but overall agreed

[stark crescent]

||Most people I told about the headphones were like - At max., we have used in-ear earphones like a fifth of the price. 💀||

[stark crescent]

Over ears are expensive, and in-ears give me a pain. 😅

[strange elk]

Me with my moondrop Chu IIs

[stark crescent]

Faced a similar thing with a keyboard.

Expensive?

[strange elk]

https://www.headphonesty.com/2024/06/best-3d-printed-headphones/

[stark crescent]

Used some cheap-ass membrane keyboard all my life, decided to get a mechanical one. Locked on Redragon K582 Surara, people were still like it is too low. Man, I already incerased my budget by 10 times. 😭

[strange elk]

Redragon sounds like an ass e-waste brand

[stark crescent]

Not available here.

[plush grotto]

Where is here?

[strange elk]

Could be wrong but idk. Keychron is generally the recommendation for that

[flint arch]

I got my HD800 for $550 and couldn’t be happier

[stark crescent]

||The country infamous for scammers internationally, and many natives don't even know that such things happen from here. 😅 ||

[strange elk]

India?

[plush grotto]

Us

[strange elk]

US could work too

[stark crescent]

The only things I see I can get for the price here are either some entry-level components from reputed brands, or some Chinese rebrands by Indian brands. I highly disprove of the latter one.

[stark crescent]

||Yes||

[strange elk]

Can't tap that

[plush grotto]

Why do you keep censoring your text?

[stark crescent]

I bet, people from other countries don't even recognize half the stuff.

[stark crescent]

I just like creating a bit of suspense.

[strange elk]

Its not suspenseful you are coming off as introverted

[stark crescent]

Good point

[strange elk]

And that's coming from an Introvert

[plush grotto]

It's coming of like "I crave attention"

[stark crescent]

Not a good point.

[slim bloom]

Whats like a good 140 htz monitor cuz my friend is recommending me this 200 htz monitor thats on sale rn but i dont really think i would need all the 200 htz

[stark crescent]

Literally all of these are rebrands of some Chinese stuff. 💀

[plush grotto]

And?

[stark crescent]

You might never need the entire refresh rate of your monitor, but it sometimes feels better to have better peripherals.

[slim bloom]

nuh uh

i just want to save like 20$ the difference is so little and im not a esport player

[stark crescent]

Like, what if you buy something better in the future? Will you buy new peripherals now?

[stark crescent]

If that's a small fraction of your budget, get 200 Hz monitor.

[slim bloom]

its like 10% of my budget

[plush grotto]

Can your pc push games at 200+ fps?

[slim bloom]

i dont even have a pc yet this is like my first ever one

[stark crescent]

It's not about "can," it's about what if he gets something better in the future and regret buying bad quality stuff now.

[strange elk]

144hz (or 165hz) 1440p is a safe bet for most people these days I think. Going up to 200 from there isn't much of a difference for most people

[plush grotto]

I would recommend either a 144Hz or 165Hz.
Unless your pc specs it HIGH end it probably won't push that many games upwards of 200fps.

[slim bloom]

im js playing simple games not stuff like cyberpunk 2077

[stark crescent]

*Lower spec

[plush grotto]

And also 144/165 is not badly priced.

[stark crescent]

I sometimes mess spec and quality. 😅

[viscid elm]

getting over 160 fps in most modern games even with higher end hardware you tend to need to drop quality by a bit

[stark crescent]

I assume your budget is $200?

[strange elk]

1440 144 is the new 1080 60

[plush grotto]

@slim bloom country, budget, resolution?

[slim bloom]

errr no its like 1500 cad

[viscid elm]

FOR A MONITOR

[stark crescent]

Have you selected everything?

[plush grotto]

WTF

[slim bloom]

not for the monitor

[plush grotto]

buy the highest end then, Jesus crist

[stark crescent]

He is probably talking about the entire build.

[slim bloom]

for the whole thing its 1500 cad

[plush grotto]

So yea 1300 for pc and 200 for monitor

[slim bloom]

the monitor my friend reccomended is like 139 cad

[viscid elm]

o its you

[slim bloom]

yea

[viscid elm]

his friend says 8GB vram is enough

[slim bloom]

i mean im not running any super high end games on max graphics

16gb feels like a overkill

[viscid elm]

you also have a budget of 1300CAD

[plush grotto]

@slim bloom https://www.newegg.ca/asrock-phantom-gaming-pg27q15r2a-27-qhd-165-hz-va-black/p/N82E16824028005?item=N82E16824028005

Find him an old for under 200cad then

[plush grotto]

Find him an old for under 200cad then

[stark crescent]

In how much time do you guys even upgrade?
My family just pushes things till their limits till they could no longer hold up together.

[viscid elm]

GET REKT IPS
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/4gGhP6/msi-mag-275qf-270-2560-x-1440-180-hz-monitor-mag-275qf

0.01$ cheaper than that

[strange elk]

OLED > IPS > VA

[viscid elm]

VN?

[stark crescent]

If you guys like to keep things for longer, 16 GB is not overkill.

[strange elk]

I was thinking TN

For some reason

[viscid elm]

or amazonhttps://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/p8zXsY/acer-nitro-xv1-xv271u-m3bmiiprx-270-2560-x-1440-180-hz-monitor-umhx1aa301

[plush grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-sad-happy-hooray-yay-gif-14504298823444634626

[slim bloom]

but the thing is i wont be playing games that take 8gb of vram

[viscid elm]

what games

[slim bloom]

like roblox cuz thats the only thing my friend plays

[plush grotto]

Eww

[stark crescent]

You might never know the future.

[viscid elm]

why are you even spending 300 on a pc then

[strange elk]

600 cad is enough for that realistically

[viscid elm]

50 cad

[strange elk]

Lol

[viscid elm]

even free

[plush grotto]

By this thought process he shouldn't buy a pc now since you never know.

[viscid elm]

i know of places throwing away decent enough 7th gen computers

[slim bloom]

cuz my current laptop is 6 years old and is going to blow up anytime

[steel egret]

I know of a game or 2 on roblox that are surprisingly hard to run on my turing card

[strange elk]

They might come out with a new GPU tomorrow.. Better wait till 2035

[viscid elm]

replace the past and clean the fins of the cooler

[stark crescent]

If you keep stuff for a long time, you won't like getting pulled back because you saved some money on the VRAM.

[plush grotto]

But in 2036 a new one comes out.

[strange elk]

FUCK

[stark crescent]

You didn't get the point.

[viscid elm]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-bed-bedtime-pat-tuck-in-gif-21243881

[plush grotto]

Better just keep the money and wait.

[stark crescent]

If you are buying something today, why not buy something that would hold up in the near future?

Or till some time in the future?

[strange elk]

How near we talking

[plush grotto]

Since not everyone has the budget to future proof their stuff

[stark crescent]

It depends on the person.

[strange elk]

How about the one building the PC?

[stark crescent]

That won't make a difference because they will be upgrading frequently.

Same thing, just more installments.

[plush grotto]

I'm currently on the 6950xt. Probably I will get the next gen or the gen after.

But I have the money for it

[strange elk]

6700, I'm happy with it. If it had 2gb less vram I may be less happy ngl

[stark crescent]

If you ask me, I want my electronics to be usable for at least 10 years with minor upgrades like RAM and Storage.

The core still the same.

[strange elk]

OK but I'm not asking you

🙃

[plush grotto]

And the 6700 was/is relatively cheap right?

[strange elk]

Yes

[plush grotto]

WHAT!

[stark crescent]

You clearly are?

[plush grotto]

how did you not future proof!

[strange elk]

You missed one bud

[stark crescent]

Wait a minute.

[plush grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-gif-1807502725802114204

[stark crescent]

Who was the person actually building the computer?

😅

[plush grotto]

@slim bloom

[strange elk]

Smh

[stark crescent]

Where is he anyway?

We are discussing stuff with the actual customer missing.

[slim bloom]

hi

[viscid elm]

may he rest in peace

[plush grotto]

Probably got scared away by the fact that 2 people recommended monitors for him mean while the other 3 were arguing about not buying cheap since Future proofing.

[stark crescent]

You were the one building the PC. Answer the following questions very briefly -
How long do you use your electronics without upgrading?
How much budget is expandable?

[slim bloom]

my laptop is 6 years old

[stark crescent]

How long would you expect your desktop to last without drilling a hole in your pocket in upgrades?

[strange elk]

Forgot how much my card cost but it was less than $250 IIRC

And that was in 2023 I think

[slim bloom]

like at least 6 years without changing any of the parts

[stark crescent]

And after 6 years? Some major upgrade or like minor ones like RAM?

[slim bloom]

just the minor stuff

if its still working fine then im not changing the major stuff or anything

[stark crescent]

How long would you like your stuff to last with minor upgrades?

[viscid elm]

the only parts you have a chance of is storage and ram

[slim bloom]

maybe 4 more years but that sounds unrealistic

[plush grotto]

I thing I paid like 800 for mine in 23.

[stark crescent]

Get this guy better VRAM.

[slim bloom]

gulp

[strange elk]

Lol

[stark crescent]

And that 200 Hz monitor.

[strange elk]

165 still plenty

[plush grotto]

750 actually.

[viscid elm]

https://tenor.com/view/black-cat-walking-cat-walk-glamour-glamorous-gif-606557101916811110

[strange elk]

Your eyes aren't gonna get better with the monitor nor will it degrade

[stark crescent]

What if he buys some better stuff after 10 years? Peripherals are somethings you don't usually upgrade unless they break.

I remember people using CRTs all the way till 2017.

Though they became pretty rare.

[plush grotto]

144hz/165hz is the only thing you need. 200hhz+ is just a flex

[strange elk]

You get 35 more fps whoop de doo

[stark crescent]

It's just $20.

I am an idiot. I just got distracted from what I was saying. 💀

[strange elk]

I do that a lot

[stark crescent]

I wanted to say to let that guy stick with 165 Hz and focus on other components. He should buy 200 Hz only if he is left with any money after focusing on the rest.

[stark crescent]

@slim bloom

[plush grotto]

@viscid elm watching this chat move along.

[strange elk]

That's more reasonable

[slim bloom]

ok

[stark crescent]

What components have you chosen anyway?

Fudge this Stuff

LAUNDRY!

[flint arch]

i’ve never seen someone open chips like that

[strange elk]

Man I don't even like chips anymore

[stark crescent]

I forgot to give my clothes there.

[stark crescent]

I am wearing unwashed clothes since like a week. 😭

I am literally using a T-Shirt under my Shirt as an Undershirt.

See you guys later.

[strange elk]

I just showered so

Where shirt

[viscid elm]

its how you are meant to do it

[strange elk]

I've seen it done that way maybe twice

[flint arch]

It seems like it gets less grease on your hands

[strange elk]

"Bottom" of the bag isn't so deep so makes sense

Not if you wanna close it again tho

[plush grotto]

An easy bowl.

[strange elk]

You get a big bag of tater tots tho, cut it down the middle from the end. You can use the two tails you have now to tie it back up

Fries tots whatever has those thicker rubbery plastic bag

[viscid elm]

hmmmmm

[plush grotto]

We literally have that as Instructions on our packaging.

[strange elk]

Lmaoo

This community throws away the instructions wym

[plush grotto]

When I say our, I mean our brand.

[flint arch]

If I claim the free borderlands 4 with the 5070 ti and then decide I don't want the card for 4k can I still return it at best buy? Or at least at a $70 loss?

[strange elk]

I'd say ask your store

[viscid elm]

yes

also what

why buy someting with the chance of wanting to return it

[plush grotto]

Free gane

[flint arch]

Because I don't know how it will perform in the games I play?

[viscid elm]

its a 5070 ti

its what the 4th best gpu money can buy consumer wise

[strange elk]

Probably pretty good I'd imagine, relatively

My RX 6700 handles most of my games just fine and I'm on Linux (which has overhead from translation layers)

[flint arch]

I'm just not sure if I'll decide I want to cough up for a 5080/5090

[viscid elm]

the 5080 is only about 10% better

also DLSS is a thing

[strange elk]

No upscaling in most titles too

[viscid elm]

wat

[strange elk]

(Looks like ass to me)

[plush grotto]

Fsr4?

[viscid elm]

o yea linux

[viscid elm]

that is rx 9000 only anyways

[plush grotto]

I have it on my 6950 i think

[strange elk]

I have FSR but I haven't used anything past FSR 2 so

It looks like garbage

[plush grotto]

Oh yea the first gens are trash.

[cedar perch]

I have 6800 with Linux and it has had no problems with anything I throw at it.

[flint arch]

I've been borrowing my brother's rx 6700 @ 1080p (I have my 4k monitor boxed up until I get a better card :p) & it's great but if I try it at 4k it struggles in most titles

[strange elk]

Ghostwire, Satisfactory isnt the best performer but it's absolutely playable.. I do have frame drops on stuff like Deep Rock but like.. I'm also on Linux so idk how much that actually contributes

[cedar perch]

I haven't tried anything more than 2.5k

For Satisfactory I found it best to switch to vulkan in settings. It has been 6 months or more since I last played though.

[plush grotto]

Satisfactory starts to struggle once the factory stretches across the map.

[strange elk]

My card is 4 years old now

[cedar perch]

I haven't had a factory stretch accross the map 😄

[strange elk]

Most of my factory is in the plains

Coal by the beach, some railroading going around, aluminum refinery

[civic fox]

yea mine is too, and it still performs great at 1440p

[strange elk]

Yeah this is all 1440p I play at. I don't downscale my resolution

[cedar perch]

Aluminum manufacturing was the worst for me.

[strange elk]

Same, was always out of it

Also so much to set up just for one

And I had tiered upgrades modded in

[plush grotto]

Found a map of our tiny power situation.

[strange elk]

Woah

What is this

[plush grotto]

Nuclear reactors

[cedar perch]

heh, tiny...

[strange elk]

I mean how do you have a map like this

[plush grotto]

In satisfactory terms yea it's tiny

[cedar perch]

Then what I had must have been miniscule.

[strange elk]

Ohh never imported my save there, didn't know it was a thing

Thanks

[cedar perch]

Never used outside resources when playing.

[plush grotto]

Power bank and the system that kept it.

[strange elk]

I didn't either really. Modded a good bit though

[cedar perch]

I also include mods in that category.

[strange elk]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/585990203269840897.webp?size=48&name=corpusSweat

[cedar perch]

My factory was probably a lot worse for it but I just sent it.

[strange elk]

spaghet

[plush grotto]

Spget

[strange elk]

lmao

Yea Id have a lot more either save time or spaghetti, prob both if I didnt get more tiered machines

[plush grotto]

It's always.
Start with a plan, expect plan to go to shit, plan goes to shit, backup plan, repeat.

[strange elk]

This is my second save essentially. Think I got a little past coal first time during update 8

I saw the quantum spaghetti and I decided to wait for release

[cedar perch]

I have only beaten it once. The ending is very disappointing.

[strange elk]

Damnit I can't use my fingerprint reader with a cracked screen :/

[fossil frost]

organised chaos 😄

[fossil frost]

yeah, its very much a "the chase is better than the catch" type of game

[cedar perch]

It’s like they couldn’t figure out how to end the story and said never mind.

[plush grotto]

I like to play with cheats since I mainly like to build mega structures. But the pics from earlier is an MP save with some buddies.

[fossil frost]

tbh, there have been TV shows that costs millions per episode, that have also ended like that, or movies that cost 100s of millions, that also end like that 😄

[cedar perch]

I wish they added procedurally generated maps like in Factorio for increased .

[fossil frost]

yeah, thats what ruins the replayability for me, its always the same map

[viscid elm]

yea

[strange elk]

I wish there was more structure I guess. I know it's a factory game but it's weird that there are only ever hard drives that you see from I assume previous expeditions or something.. Which only have blueprints for the most part

[timber jasper]

yo chat

[harsh quartz]

Honestly I’ve always preferred Minecraft factory modpacks for this kind of gameplay. Satisfactory is great but just scales too much for me

And I always feel like I should be doing something better, like playing a game that feels less like time wasting

[oak pier]

you can remove the everything after the “?”

it’s just tracking information so they can get more data from your browsing habits

[magic reef]

Hmm I do nothing here

[magic reef]

vro ur dedicated

[cedar perch]

All games are time wasters though.

[harsh quartz]

Nope

[cedar perch]

What ones are not time wasters?

[harsh quartz]

Any game that provides value to you

[cedar perch]

Wasting time has value

Wasting time having fun... that's games to me...

[harsh quartz]

Then it’s not wasted time

[cedar perch]

It's good to be able to relax and waste some time now and then so not saying it's a bad thing.

[cedar perch]

#public-chat message

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, satisfactory is time wasting for me

It provides no value

[cedar perch]

anything you say chief.

[harsh quartz]

It’s almost as if different people enjoy different games differently

[cedar perch]

Yes, that is to be expected.

But saying a game isn't fun because it's a waste of time is a weird thing to say instead of saying you don't find it fun or whatever...

[harsh quartz]

No. You have it backwards. I’m saying it’s a waste of time because it isn’t fun

[cedar perch]

you're an ouroboros mate.

[harsh quartz]

I’m polar

Any game that isn’t fun doesn’t provide value and is a waste of time.

I don’t feel like that’s a hard concept

[cedar perch]

but you said it is fun...

[harsh quartz]

When

[cedar perch]

nvm I misread isn't for is. either way... good luck with wasting time in the future.

[harsh quartz]

Objectively the game is good. Subjectively I prefer other games

[cedar perch]

ok 👍

[plush grotto]

[pallid falcon]

What if every game gives anxiety because I feel am wasting time instead of being productive

[harsh quartz]

… I think there’s pills for that?

Or a therapist

[plush grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/anxiété-anxiety-vice-versa-inside-out-disney-gif-18293769329418033413

[pallid falcon]

[plush grotto]

Or even better feeling.
I am sick and staying home from work.
I can't watch a movie or play games since it's wrong. I am sick, I have to stay in bed.

[pallid falcon]

Thr guilt too real

[harsh quartz]

I never understood that one. If I’m sick imma do whatever I feel like doing :p

[pallid falcon]

Anxiety pills too expensive

[harsh quartz]

Pills therapy or learn to deal with it, idk what other options there are

[fossil frost]

Free in the UK

[fossil frost]

Accept that anxiety is an evolutionary trait linked to heightened awareness of danger. It's the reason your distant ancestors didn't get eaten by tigers. The only problem now is that there are no tigers for you to be aware of, so your brain makes up danger from nothing, because it needs to be occupied

[harsh quartz]

That’s the third option I listed :p

[plush grotto]

If I'm sick I'm sick, I can't do things that shows that I am healthy.

[plush grotto]

Pretty cheap in Norway as well.

[harsh quartz]

Usually when I’m sick I can get like 2 hours of games in then I’m too tired and have to sleep for 15 hours

[silver sun]

584

[winged spire]

robo taxi fence expanded again

it actually covers the airport now lol

that should have been covered day 1 but

[fossil frost]

since i started running and cycling around 11 years ago and especially since i started open water swimming about 6 years ago, i rarely get sick now. but when i do get sick, its the Pro version of the illness 😀, the version that usually kills other people

[winged spire]

Pad has been cleared, tank farm will spin up any minute

Weather is looking good this time

We do not need another scrub 😐

[fossil frost]

scrub is better than it exploding in the same way again, for the 3rd time

or would it be 4th?

[winged spire]

It hasn’t been the same way

The past 3 launches have had different causes

V3 ship can’t come fast enough

[vapid smelt]

Or do you get sick lest often because your kids are older

[fossil frost]

they are in 3 different schools, they still bring home plenty, and make my wife ill

[viscid epoch]

couldnt elon just use beamng or smt to simulate the take offs and landings and then use the end result irl

[harsh quartz]

Honestly same. I rarely get sick or rarely get bothered by what other people consider sick. I have to have like a bad fever or something to even go to the doctor, and the only time I’ve actively been sick sick was when I had norovirus last year, holy fuck that was bad

Although I did lose my sense of smell for like 3 months after I had covid, that was interesting

[winged spire]

They do simulations

the difference is starship is being developed like 50x faster than say, SLS

[fossil frost]

was about to say, last time i got sick-sick, was covid for the 2nd time. no sense of smell or taste for about 3 weeks, constant headache for the middle week, and no sleep/energy at all for about 10 days of all that

[winged spire]

and costing less than SLS

[harsh quartz]

Covid was just sleep it off and I was perfectly fine. I usually just sleep off any fever and don’t have any issues. Like I said, only one that’s fucked me up bad was norovirus, I hit a point where I did not want to continue living after about 8 hours

[harsh quartz]

Starship developed in partnership with KSP

[summer folio]

When are they sending the first humans to Mars now again

[winged spire]

Superheavy has already proven its able to be reused so its already more capable than almost any other rocket ever made

[summer folio]

Any moment now, surely

[winged spire]

you cant just launch to mars

[summer folio]

[winged spire]

you have to wait for the transfer window

[summer folio]

VISA application & so on

[winged spire]

what

[summer folio]

[winged spire]

orbit big far away, wait for orbit not big far away

[fossil frost]

you CAN, but its prohibitively expensive and unrealistic

[winged spire]

Sure

[fossil frost]

they wait for 2 reasons. 1. its cheaper. 2. its actually faster to wait and use the transfer window, than it is to brute force it

[winged spire]

I wonder how much ΔV it would take to launch at the worst possible time

[summer folio]

Will 100% of the astronauts be male, just so you don't have to deal with constant bleeding blod loss stuff etc?

Or is the plan to produce new humans on mars?

Think groups of 100% male work better also

[fossil frost]

tbh, 100% female has been shown to be a better lineout

[summer folio]

Mayhaps.

[winged spire]

and women statistically need less calories

[viscid epoch]

oooh

[winged spire]

it would be cheaper for a full women crew

[viscid epoch]

true, elon somehow made it super cheap

[fossil frost]

more capable of dealing with the forces on the body too, and the mental pressure if being in space

[winged spire]

The whole program is only about 2 billion a year

nasa spent double that for a single launch platform for SLS

[summer folio]

Mental pressure as in physical forces?

[fossil frost]

metal pressure as in... mental.. not physical

[viscid epoch]

a smaller women would need even less calories

[winged spire]

yes

[summer folio]

How would that create any mental pressure

[winged spire]

The ideal astronaut is a women with no legs

lol

[viscid epoch]

not pressure but stress is what you mean

[viscid epoch]

true, the avg legs weigh around 20kg

[fossil frost]

i mean pressure.. thats why i said pressure... pressure is what leads to stress

[summer folio]

What about a severely overweight, obeese man.
He got like, lots of reserve energy, doesn't need to be fed for a long time.

[fossil frost]

being trapped for 2 years with no hope of returning without HAVING to go through the entire mission... puts a lot of pressure on somebodies mental health.. can lead to a lot of stress

[viscid epoch]

are we talking stress as in material stress or psychological stress

[winged spire]

its like 2000$ a kilo to the ISS or something

[fossil frost]

mental... psychological.. nobody said physical or material...

[viscid epoch]

losing 20kg is 40k

[summer folio]

I lived as a hermit deep in the woods, in a forest cabin for 2 years, no worries fam

[viscid epoch]

stress is a broad term

[winged spire]

my biggest issue is mars latancy is way way way too long

[fossil frost]

you had a choice to leave that life at any time, you could just walk out of the woods.. .you cant just "walk out" of mars

[winged spire]

even with laser comms youre looking at like 8 minute ping or something

[summer folio]

Ahh, gotcha, we just sending dwarfs then ig?

gg ez

[winged spire]

the legs arent really used much for getting around in 0g

[viscid epoch]

just have local server hosting

[winged spire]

so you want a normal size person with no legs

[summer folio]

Snow White & the 7 dwarfs

[summer folio]

Ohh, I thought it was a permanent thingy

[viscid epoch]

no, you want a person as small as possible so below 5ft without legs and who doesnt really exercise

[winged spire]

But to actually answer that previous question ^^ a manned mars misison is atleast a decade away

[summer folio]

They can leave mars? wtf

[viscid epoch]

some exercise to keep the blood flow stabke

[winged spire]

and it would be round trip

[viscid epoch]

just jump

[fossil frost]

initial trips are round trips

[winged spire]

its just like a 18 month misison or something

9 months there 9 months back

[viscid epoch]

the green zone for temperature is around 1.2-1.7m on the surface iirc between boiling and hypothermia

[summer folio]

100% dwarf crew would be the best ig. Can make the rocket & all equipment smaller as well.

[winged spire]

and a good way to build habitats there would be going underground

[viscid epoch]

so just have every building a couple decimeter off the ground

[winged spire]

dwarfs are known to dig

lol

[viscid epoch]

no, very long crawl spaces in the green zone or a huge amazon warehouse like building that raises the temperature insid

[mystic tundra]

a dwarf without a shovel is like… hmmm sun without it’s flares

[winged spire]

https://nextbigfuture.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2024/01/spacexstarshipmoonbase.jpeg

[summer folio]

Let' terraform Mars by sending Dwarfs with shovels

[winged spire]

so low res

[winged spire]

where are the dwarfs

[viscid epoch]

terraforming isnt that difficult

have ice comets hit mars

[harsh quartz]

Why are you engaging :p

[viscid epoch]

or fling the ice moon into mars

boom you have water, high temperature, loads of chemical reactions to create an atmosphere

[winged spire]

mars has plenty of ice

[harsh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/tyrion-lannister-raise-cheers-game-of-thrones-gif-14554892

[viscid epoch]

only a north and south pole that we cannot heat up

[winged spire]

which is a really good thing because water also happens to be rocket fuel

[harsh quartz]

….we can

[viscid epoch]

no

[harsh quartz]

Yes

[viscid epoch]

yeah....coal mines

[fossil frost]

i cant tell if you are joking, or stupid... 😄

[harsh quartz]

Elon musk the brilliant leader of spaceX already gave us the answer

[viscid epoch]

there arent enough nuclear bombs to heat up either

[viscid epoch]

i am serious, have rockets that use the surface as fuel to push the moon into mars

[winged spire]

problem solved

lol

[viscid epoch]

or have large machinery that mines away at the surface and uses momentum to fling it at mars

[viscid epoch]

we would need to invent a machine that uses electricity to create water

[winged spire]

thats a kettle

[viscid epoch]

which is kinda impossible because electrons dont want to turn into hydrogen oxygen

[winged spire]

you put ice from mars into it

[viscid epoch]

oh wait im dumb

just have the ai datacenters move to mars with solar panels

free electricity they can train as much as they want as long as they dump all the heat into the ice caps

[harsh quartz]

Hot take, AI datacenters might be the thing that pushes us towards a better energy future

[winged spire]

I mean it actively is now

[viscid epoch]

yeah

[winged spire]

lots of money into researching and developing SMRs

[viscid epoch]

it forces us to go to the superior energy production even tho society is stupid and still believes nuclear power plants are dangerous

[winged spire]

those are also crutial if we want super large orbital spacecraft

[viscid epoch]

yes

[winged spire]

look how big the ISS' solar array is compared to its actual volume

it gets very unreasonable to send that much mass up

[fossil frost]

and its STILL energy restricted too

[viscid epoch]

its a solar panel with a hamster tunnel connected to it

[viscid epoch]

i love how my country first mass promoted solar panels for free energy production and now wants to tax chemical reactions made by the sun like bro let me power my pc for free pls

[harsh quartz]

Sure but that’s been happening for years without much real movement on the regulation side, at least in the US. But if it keeps going the way it is, once the company’s want those SMRs online, I’m sure that legislation will be passed immediately

[winged spire]

Theres literally no push to have it legallized because nobody has been developing it

[harsh quartz]

??

[winged spire]

you kinda need to have someone developing it to give congress a reason to change it

look what happened with supersonic planes

[harsh quartz]

There’s definitely been company’s working on it for many years

[viscid epoch]

also those panels are crazy hot so their efficiency rate drops

[winged spire]

its been illegal over the US since like the 80s

nobody even bothered to develop for it but the second boom aerospace finishes their test campaign it was immediately legalized with basically no pushback

[strange elk]

Man the PS3 is slow.. 11% of a 6gb install in 1h

[winged spire]

they were gonna do a whole campaign with shirts and stuff but they repealed the supersonic ban basically instantly lol

Supersonic commerical aviation is now a viable business venture now

[viscid epoch]

thats faster than my internet speed

[strange elk]

My condolences

[winged spire]

bro lives on the moon 😭

[viscid epoch]

it takes me about 30m to 60m for 1gb

800kbs

[winged spire]

wait

[strange elk]

me when I lived with grandmum in a trailer

[winged spire]

isnt there like a timeout for like most of the internet if your ping is too high

[viscid epoch]

i cant wait for fibre optic(it should've been here 2 years ago im so calm and not angry)

[winged spire]

so if youre on mars you cant even acccess most of the internet

[viscid epoch]

rainbow 6 will not allow me to play it

[winged spire]

even if youre fine with an 8 minute ping

[strange elk]

Yea unless the service allows that which is rare

[viscid epoch]

rainbow six siege will ban you if your internet is bad

[strange elk]

Ubislop moment

[winged spire]

I mean even just accessing websites and stuff

[fossil frost]

if you are on the ISS... you cant access most of the internet.. and thats only 250ish miles away

[viscid epoch]

most are fine

[winged spire]

im pretty sure the ISS has google dude

[viscid epoch]

thats because your moving too fast

[fossil frost]

ISS has access, but its restricted

[viscid epoch]

thats literally why you shouldnt access internet on a plane

[strange elk]

How fast do you think the earth moves

[winged spire]

600mbps, more than enough for general web browisng plus whatever scientific data

[fossil frost]

ah, thats newer than when i last looked at it then

[winged spire]

My guess is starlink

[viscid epoch]

they are using an Nintendo 2ds internet system thats 600x faster THAN ME ON THE DAMN GROUND

[winged spire]

or some form of it, they might even have a couple dedicated starlink satellites

[viscid epoch]

i could literally put my pc in space and have faster internet connection

[strange elk]

Sattelite internet but its just an ISP on the moon

[winged spire]

theres a gov contract for a mars satellite constalation

SpaceX, BO and like lockheed all have bids in

[viscid epoch]

and my uncle is bullying me by flexing his unlimited data plan where he used 2TB of data this month

[strange elk]

You are more advantaged than me, good for you uncle fester

[viscid epoch]

i am not, he just shows up, "hey look at my data useage" leaves

its like walking up to someone, waving an delicious grilled cheese in front of their face and then proceed to eat it and not leave them anything

he used as much mobile data as my ssd has in storage

[summer folio]

Bet he doesn't even have Fiber at home

[viscid epoch]

he does everything via hotspot

[summer folio]

Tell him ethernet cable will always beat mobile data wireless garbage

[viscid epoch]

he has a higher speed and stability on hotspot than i have on Ethernet

even my own hotspot from my mobile data is faster but scammer isp

[summer folio]

Just run a microwave with the door open next to him & say 'Checkmate'

[viscid epoch]

they wont boot with the door open

[viscid epoch]

put a 6 pack of hard boiled eggs in your microwave

[viscid epoch]

too expensive

why buy screwdriver when grandpa has a full collection

i mean i did buy 3 screwdrivers today i had to get a small torx and turns out nvidia uses torx5

now i have torx 3 4 5

[summer folio]

Only time I have ever needwd torx was foe opening up the PS4

[viscid epoch]

i opened my GPU

[summer folio]

Everything else use Normal flat or Philips star screws

[viscid epoch]

i ripped the top panel off of mine

[zealous barn]

[plush grotto]

2tb of mobile data? Jesus, that must be an expensive phone plan.

[viscid epoch]

it isnt, he cant afford a super expensive phone plan

[plush grotto]

I'm at 70$ for 200gb

[viscid epoch]

or he is hiding smt

I think it can lose 2 in the middle ring

1 in the very center

[plush grotto]

Aww, flames in aft of ship

[formal steeple]

anyone good with flipper zeros, wifi pineapples, cell jammers, wifi spoofers? I think I'm being fucked with

I know enough to have an idea, but I'm not sure how someone would implement any of those things. But how motivated would someone have to be to do that?

[oak pier]

downloading at 10mbps is so painful

[covert cradle]

If you have modern non-EOL hardware, up to date software, and aren't sharing your wifi password they would need to be extremely motivated. Flipper zero is sub-GHz and only effects old crap, wifi pineapple/spoofing still needs your credentials. The only thing that's "easy" is a cell jammer because they generally just need to be plugged in but they're highly illegal and easily discoverable by authorities

[formal steeple]

So

Randomly with no changes to my network, I've been having wireless cameras go offline, devices drop off toward the front of the house,

I've verified all my extenders work

My isp is having no issues

all your extenders? If you need multiple extenders, switch to mesh so that the nodes actually cooperate more intelligently. Can you retrieve historical log data from the extenders?

[formal steeple]

The reason I suspect that it's someone else is that I have been having issues with my landlord, I live in a trailer park. There is a vacant house across the street in front of the house, the same side of the house that's having issues

[formal steeple]

It's a tp link deco mesh system

I misspoke

[covert cradle]

When you say the nodes work, have you reviewed the closest node's system logs for entries around the time a camera has dropped? I don't know if the logs can be accessed from the app if that's what you use, it might require accessing the web interface using the node's IP address

[formal steeple]

I even replaced them

Like through warranty

It's the same thing

An intermittent cutoff randomly around the time I stream. Sometimes during streams

Yes I've checked for intrusion, reinstalled windows on all affected PCs, have anti-virus on everything, have even bought an external firewall to be safe

But it's the cameras

And the wifi that's really bothering me

[covert cradle]

is your PC overclocked? Do you have any electronics you happen to turn on around the same time as streaming? The reason electronics have FCC certification is because nearly everything emits some level of EMI. Lots of imported junk is actually non-compliant and things like overclocking can increase interference, especially since PC cases often have giant windows on them.

[formal steeple]

It tanks the cell service too

The camera is far enough away from my streaming equipment that it should be a non issue

[covert cradle]

given that it occurs while streaming specifically, it is highly likely to be an electronic device (or power supply) you are using while streaming

it's a good thing you have a known condition that triggers the dropping, since that gives you a starting point to figure out exactly which device it is. If it's the PC you can disable any overclock and enable spread spectrum to minimize its noise.

Hi

[solar iris]

youtube still haven't fixed 'this' issue yet wanna let an ai determine your age 😔

the ads are pure brainrot tbh

its always the "You can claim money for playing video games!!" ones

[livid robin]

Sent in X670E Steel Legend for service, got back X870 Steel Legend — upgrade or downgrade?

So recently my PC's motherboard Asrock x670e steel legend was having some issues, so I sent it back to the dealer from where I purchased and assembled my PC, and he sent it back to the company's service center. The company replaced the motherboard with an X870 Steel legend and sent it back to the dealer who sent it back to me. What do you think? Shall I accept that?

[sharp notch]

can anyone confirm if this is a good thermal pad or no

@viscid elm @oak pier

[warm gust]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1407147079398199449 anyone please

[viscid elm]

what the fuck is that

also liquid thermalpad????

[sharp notch]

this is a pic he sent me

[viscid elm]

aaaaaaa its thermal putty

[sharp notch]

not my gpu tho, im still searching for services

[viscid elm]

you do not need that

also he is really bad at applying paste

but we meant stuff like PTM 7950 and thermalright helios

[heady flicker]

interesting, applying it directly onto the parts

[viscid elm]

thermal putty you are meant to do that

its non conductive so you could cover the entire card in it

https://www.extremetech.com/computing/gigabytes-gpu-thermal-paste-keeps-leaking

[sharp notch]

so u dont recommend to get his service?

[covert cradle]

you're losing the gigabit LAN port, an M.2 slot, and a PCIe x1 slot. USB is going from 6 x 5Gb + 1 x 10Gb + 1 x 20 Gb to 3 x 5Gb + 2 x 10Gb + 2 x 40Gb. So it's a side-grade that could be better or worse depending on what you want from your mobo

[viscid elm]

you were the person with the 3080 ti blower right

[sharp notch]

not Ti but yes

[viscid elm]

why cant you repaste it yourself?

[timber lintel]

W not a hotdog shirt good job at making it team you did great

[sharp notch]

im no technician brother

if i was i wouldve done it

[viscid elm]

me too?

are you able to replace batteries?

its just screw out some screws take it off, and if its a controller with battery corrosion cleaning off those like cleaning off the old paste but something different being adding new paste or PCM then screw it back

[sharp notch]

bitch trynna make me kill my own gpu

[covert cradle]

It's not that hard, but I can understand the hesitation lol

[viscid elm]

its the stress that kills hardware

[keen mural]

its just paste

[sharp notch]

bro i can barely insert ram

im not finna try to replace my gpu paste

[keen mural]

can you apply paste to your cpu?

[static perch]

well it does work. it's usually just not worth the time you invest if you have a job

[iron blaze]

this is peak gaming, prove me wrong

[livid robin]

I guess I should return it, then.

[winged spire]

Just woke up to a sherif smashing on my door with a court notice for the previous tenant

[slate agate]

at least it wasn't swat smashing your door down looking for someone who hadn't lived at the address for five years like happened to a women not long ago in LA

and then they refused to pay for damages

[winged spire]

Yeah cops don’t have to pay for damages even if they’re at the wrong house

That would be on my landlord though

[slate agate]

investigative work? what's that - LAPD

[shy hearth]

ew whaatt, was that the frozen water gang?

[winged spire]

No

I’m pretty sure the previous tenant was a drug dealer or something

[shy hearth]

amazing how the IRS always knows where you are but the popo can't take 5 minutes to check your records before destroying your house

[winged spire]

It’s Been atleast 4 months since he lived here

The guy did something to piss off the local ISP because I had to get a lock taken off my address

I guess he charged back or something

[shy hearth]

oh wow okay, yeah def doing some shady work from there lol, dark web vibes

[winged spire]

Yeah idk

[covert cradle]

Were you using the extra gigabit LAN, the 4th m.2 port, or the pcie x1 slot? If you aren't, it's an upgrade. Better USB, better WiFi, better audio.

[wraith spruce]

kinda crazy seeing the hype from PC gamers for Valve's allegedly upcoming new console... when PC gamers have notoriously hated consoles for decades

[oak pier]

in valve we trust

[viscid elm]

we hate them due to so many factors, from keyboard support being something not everything has and how locked down it is

steamOS is just arch

[midnight hollow]

i also made a pancake once

[keen cedar]

What the fuck

Just turn yourself into prison atp

[oak pier]

Nah, just adding theme support

[viscid elm]

JESUS CHRIST that is a 6 year old bios

[polar pine]

*ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if Pinnacle, Raven, Summit or Bristol Ridge CPU is being used on your system.

Or well, I guess I can update to 7.3

but why

[viscid elm]

that is the only bios that says it the other ones are only the OLD AS BALLS APUs

i have yet to have issues updating to the latest on am4

[polar pine]

I'll update when I through a 5800x3D in

[viscid elm]

[summer folio]

What a dystopian society

Why would anyone live in a country that has spy cameras every few feet

[winged spire]

UK definitely has way more

london alone has like 700,000 CCTV cameras or something

[supple pawn]

UK can do whatever dumb shit they want, spy cameras are a terrible idea wherever you are. In a perfect world, sure, they'd be a good thing, but our government can't even be trusted to properly maintain roads lol

[heady flicker]

a better solution is good education and healthcare/food

more effective than mass surveillance to stop crime

[supple pawn]

Yes, but there is no money in that. Remember, all of the politicians were bought and paid for long ago.

They don't give 2 shits about crime until it hurts the wallet of whatever lobbyist is paying for their campaign.

We'll never see universal healthcare in the US either because the insurance companies wouldn't make as much money, and guess who's also donating large sums of money to the lawmakers?

[heady flicker]

it's not going to be easy

they first need to streamline filing taxes

but companies like turbotax lobby regulations that try that

and it works every time for them

[supple pawn]

Yeah, the mass surveillance will be about as effective at stopping crime as the war on drugs was at stopping drugs, or no child left behind was at bettering education. It's all just an illusion of doing something to help when in actuality it does nothing and is a complete failure.

[supple pawn]

Its not going to be possible in our current system. The moment we allowed big corporations to donate to politicians everything was fucked.

[heady flicker]

they'll realize those that commit crimes like to hide their identity in front of cameras, and so they propose even more regulation to monitor people

[echo sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/balls-gif-15494216853001712776

[supple pawn]

Yes, the most effective way of reducing crime is to address the problems which led people into committing the crimes in the first place. We've known that for a long, long time. But again, that would cost money, and that is the only motivator in our society.

[fossil frost]

over 5.2 million government/police controlled CCTV in the uk total

yall got the blade runners lol
