whats ur second best movie

this one says Imax 70mm so that must be realmax right

[long briar]

[winged spire]

noises like that arent uncommon tbh

it definitely could be the deluge pumps operating normally, or a dozen other things

yeah I just listened to it again

definitely just a vent opening or something along those lines

could be GSE or vehicle side

wouldnt you just come from some other acc even if they ip ban you ?

[lofty fractal]

people can also staright up lose their accounts now ?

or they could just mute you

They've always been able to? You can and should report people's accounts for violating the ToS. This helps Discord keep the platform safe for everyone, and reduces the amount of wasted space on the internet.

Still not enough to make me buy a neo

imo the base m4 w/ the edu discount is still a better deal but that’s for a different market ig

[vapid smelt]

neo edu price is 499

[pure knot]

i only buy macbooks incase the authorities ever bust down my door love em

[vapid smelt]

i like someones idea of putting the a18 pro in a apple tv chassie and selling it as a neo mac mini for under $300

[calm swan]

the m2 and m4 when they were on sale last oct-nov were great

[random jolt]

the base m4 Mac mini is also 500 w/ the edu discount, and that’s comes with an m4 and 16g memory

but yeah there’s no screen or keyboard tho

[vapid smelt]

didnt know it was that cheap

[random jolt]

felt like it was a waste to almost not get it lol, and my laptop at the time just happened to crap out and msi basically took it for 2.5 months for ‘repairs’

that’s one thing i do appreciate with apple stuff (even with all their faults) their support is at least quick if ur willing and able to pay for it

which is usually just ‘time to buy a new one’ lol

took msi a month to come to the conclusion that the mobo needs to be replaced and another month and a half for it to be back in stock :/

Idk why they got jay leno but

Is he a truck driver? lol

[vapid smelt]

damn

[winged spire]

7mpg (average of a semi trucks apparently) is equivalent to 5.4kWh per mile

[vapid smelt]

typical U.S. home has a maximum power capacity of 24,000 to 48,000 watts so 50-25 houses 💀

[winged spire]

48,000 is HIGH

that would be a really big house

Most homes only have like a 200a breaker so 22k

If it’s older than a couple decades it’s probably closer to 100a

[karmic kiln]

you guys never buy alienware pcs

biggest scam ever honestly

pc broke because of a manufacturing issue but it got labeled as misuse, had to spend $400 for the pc to get repaired only for the repair to fail and then wanting me to send the pc over to them

then having the nerve to ask for $300 to continue my warranty that didn’t even cover the motherboard repair 😭

this is cool

[harsh quartz]

Wait, so are they only updating the “patches” that they detect change in? Or are they using those patches to entirely recreate the existing video?

Cause if it’s only updating the changed patches, that’s super cool

[winged spire]

theyre using the info from the patches to recreate the missing parts

oh

I think I misunderstood

[harsh quartz]

The previously generated patches? Or the newly generated ones? Cause that explanation doesn’t really make sense

[winged spire]

I guess its more like theyre detecting parts of the videos that dont change, and removing them

[harsh quartz]

The way it says reconstructed makes it sound like it’s generating a whole new frame? But the explanation in the tweet makes its sound like it’s just cutting out non-updated patches and leaving the last updated one in place

[winged spire]

so like youd have your self driving car's comptuer ONLY look at the pixels that actually matter (ones with change)

[winged spire]

the idea is that the data can be taken down to 5% and still retain it fully more or less

[harsh quartz]

Wait, car computer? That feels like a horrible idea

[winged spire]

just an example

its for video understanding

[harsh quartz]

This seems super cool for rendering and 4k image playback

[harsh quartz]

Reducing the workload without sacrifice image quality or anything like an upscaler does

[winged spire]

same idea as vision/perception for robotics

no need to feed it everything if its able to reconstruct reality using a small percent of the actual pixels

[harsh quartz]

But on a moving object, wouldn’t almost every patch be updating almost all the time?

[winged spire]

not all of those clips had a static camera^^

well, I guess the first one

its almost like foveated rendering

inverse foveated rendering

[harsh quartz]

Looking through it, the first one is definitely different than the others, and shows to be a little more glitchy, they also don’t show the patch breakdown, but the others, whenever the camera bumps or jiggles it does seem to create issues with certain patches not updating properly, so yeah, static backgrounds will work great, but live environment recording/perception would definitely need more work. Maybe smaller patches would help?

[harsh quartz]

That’s what I was trying to think of

[winged spire]

yeah its not great, but its a V1

think how bad DLSS 1 was

[vapid smelt]

trillion dollar company btw

[harsh quartz]

It’s a V1, and that’s gonna be a harder one than the others, it’s a cool idea if they develop it properly before shoving it into everything

[harsh quartz]

Hey this one’s cool at least, gotta give props where they’re due

[vapid smelt]

nah they gotta give us msrp gpus

[harsh quartz]

But we want them to keep making cool things and innovating instead of just going down the same AI rabbit hole

It does look like they’re recreating the whole frame which is kinda meh

It’s really noticeable on the bottom edge of the pool table in the tom and Jerry clip, it’s stationary so should be the same, but it’s jittering around a bit

Hello linus technology tips chat

[graceful mortar]

We already have them here, no warrant necessary for airspace, and illegal to shoot at per FAA.

[winged spire]

Correct

[graceful mortar]

So drone with thermal can literally fly up to your window and nothing you are allowed to do.

[winged spire]

They would need to get permission from the FAA to fly without line of sight

[vapid smelt]

sorry my pet hawk thought it was food

[winged spire]

No

[graceful mortar]

I'll have to dig it up, but they placed a drone over a house to gather evidence without needing a warrant. Even flew into the backyard

[winged spire]

That is allowed

That is not what you said in your previous message 🤷

[vapid smelt]

how low can they go?

[graceful mortar]

Adding thermal?

[winged spire]

It would likely violate privacy laws to film anywhere with an expectation of privacy

I.e through your window

[graceful mortar]

The way it was worded was as long as it doesn't land you can't touch it, regardless of legality of its presence. You touch it when it's flying? felony.

[winged spire]

Anywhere

You don’t own the airspace

[graceful mortar]

Hmm, so yes thermal. But don't fly up to window, but just look through wall.

[winged spire]

Do you have insulation in your walls? 😂

[graceful mortar]

Actually ... Is it filming if it's live feed?

[vapid smelt]

so i need this

[winged spire]

Yes

That would also then classify as indoors per the FAA so you could do whatever the fuck you want in there

FAA wise ^^

[graceful mortar]

Sure, but if it "accidentally" sees through the single pane window 🤔

If you owned a big enough building you could fly a 777 with absolutely no licenses

Happened with Samsung bud pros in class. Was having a meltdown for 5+hrs. Finally got them out in the most dangerous way possible.

All are BT 5.3 JBL is 5.4. is that why it doesn't get garbled? What version do I need?

JBL

How do I find the Bluetooth version of an android device? Yes I actually checked the spec sheet for it.

[near nymph]

Try looking at Xiaomi speakers

I love them, the sound quality is extremely good

I think they partner with Harmon kardon or whatever for tuning

[graceful mortar]

Will it fix my issue? The JBL sleeps instantly and has to be rebooted or forced to crash, the Soundcore doesn't disconnect, but is garbled. All from 4k plus Android TV.

Looking for 80W minimum and not too much harsh treble like the JBL had.

[near nymph]

The Bluetooth connection seems to be extremely solid

[graceful mortar]

The BT connections aren't the problem necessarily, it's how they interact with the onn

My noise floor, for reference on why I'm looking for so much power from speaker and why my dual 2w monitor speakers don't work.

[covert moth]

Is it weird that i only watch LTT for Riley? Hes the only entertaining host

[graceful mortar]

Jokes aside, hes absolutely my fav presenter

[graceful mortar]

There were no jokes

[covert moth]

[near nymph]

Can you get aux

[graceful mortar]

sadly no. OTG arent offically supported on the onn, also i cant find a pportable speaker with AUX in. i was looking for teh old $14.99 onn that you can put together for stereo but they are DSD.

my galaxy buds 3 work fine, but wearing earbuds all day is kinda uncomfortable.

adn the battery doesnt last long on them

so i have 1 device that never gives no issue (bud pro3) one that only has sleep issues (JBL), one that is perfect EXCEPT for the garbled audio when ever the BT keyboard sleeps

[low perch]

Hey guys, trying to decide between pixel 7 pro or the pixel 8. I want the big screen of the 7 pro but a little concerned about the curved display. camera is not really a point of contention for me, just hoping to get the best screen, battery life, performance, and speaker quality. I am a heavy social media user so that will be my main use case. I am upgrading from a 2020 iphone SE so either phone will be a massive upgrade 😋 I would love to hear yur opinions guys!

[near nymph]

Curved screen pain in the ass for screen protectors... Pixel 7 Pro battery life is kinda dukey.

Battery life sucks.

Speaker is bad

[maiden flare]

Made up for yesterday's lack of exercise by doubling up on two of the things I did

[near nymph]

Depending what region you're in. You're better off buying another phone. Pixels only started getting good at Pixel 9 with the modem

[maiden flare]

30 Jumping Jacks instead of 15 & 10 burpees instead of 5

Squats and knee pushups were the same though, 10 and 5 respectively

Had to cut the plank from 30 seconds to 20 aswell

[low perch]

thank you. I am in urban canada, should i consider an s23 instead?

[near nymph]

Hmm... Why these specific models?

[low perch]

its in my budget

[near nymph]

What is your budget?

[low perch]

300 cad. pixel 8, 7pro, s23, and iphone 12 are availble refurbished where i am

[near nymph]

Get used, why refurb

[low perch]

can i trust people on marketplace?

[near nymph]

Swappa? Back market?

S23 isn't bad though

Or you can buy a new Chinese import phone

[pulsar kiln]

What is your actual needs? Why a pixel just to surf social media? That's severe overkill

Look at a Samsung A series or something.

If an S fits your budget, then fine. But don't overspend on something you don't need like 95% of the population these days and contribute to the overpriced market.

[low perch]

twitter, instagram, and tiktok take up half my phone use. the other half is using it as an mp3 player or other daily tasks. im a normie really

is an A enough?

[pulsar kiln]

So just get an midrange phone. None of this requires a fucking flagship phones.

[low perch]

thank you good sir

which is your favourite?

[pulsar kiln]

Flagship is for those video editing and doing triple A gaming on their phones. Plus they run benchmarks all day needing the highest numbers to make their pp big because they can't get a mate.

[pulsar kiln]

There are so many. In Canada your options are severely limited though.

[low perch]

hahaha i was hoping the big phone would compensate for downstairs

[pulsar kiln]

An A series might be your best bet. Just make sure you're being the latest one. Motorola likely also competes in this space at this time.

[pulsar kiln]

Even better since there mid range devices are typically very large

Canada hates midrange stuff.

Flagship or you're a pleb it seems

Maybe an S FE might be in your range

[low perch]

you know a lot about the phone market

i think i could get my hands on a motorola they seem to be decently common out here (although much much less than samsung or google)

Xiaomi 15T Global is very good

[near nymph]

The global version of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra has very good bands compatibility.

[near nymph]

Our selection, Google, Samsung and Apple

Motorola not so much?

[pulsar kiln]

It's there. But limited. But you know, that's the choice of freedom to use whatever you want. Right? Use between those 3-4 devices

That's what we say is okay. Similar to the whole, only use USA made routers that just went official this week too.

Gotta love living in North America. Just wreaks of freedom and choice!

[soft oxide]

do they use UFS?

I would do a phone farm of S10's tbh

[near nymph]

I enjoy my choices in Asia

My Xiaomi 15 Ultra gets crazy good cellular reception.

Good Speeds

My 16 Pro Max 1TB? PFFFF. If I'm going somewhere rural. I want my Xiaomi

Otherwise I'm cooked. My iphone 16 pro max is only good when there is good signal.

What's worse? iPhone X. Holy shit I can be in a no service place. But my dad's Xperia had like 2 bars. Same carrier

I think cellular reception improved with the 17 series but lol I ain't trusting my iphone when outside. Though I do need a battery pack since Xiaomi battery optimization sucks

Oppo Find X9 Pro seems dope too

[pulsar kiln]

Same! Way better than North America. Has everything North America has, plus legit every other phone out there.

Got just a hair under a hundred and actually using a prepaid MasterCard is such a burden

Turned it into an Amazon gift card

[harsh quartz]

those prepaid cards fuckin suck

[gilded quest]

It works for buying an Amazon gift card of the exact amount

But if I had known I was gonna get a hundred I would have picked real money

[harsh quartz]

luckily, i dont have to deal with it, cause ive never used corsair ram

[gilded quest]

I mean they should have fought it instead of settling

But this is why "up to" exists

I still think it's a stupid lawsuit and there was a reasonable chance Corsair could have won

But prolonged legal battle is probably as expensive as the settlement was

[gilded quest]

There's another one for gskill

[harsh quartz]

i have used trident z, i guess i need to look into that

[gilded quest]

No proof of purchase necessary

Although proof of purchase may increase payout? Not sure.

Also PoP is required if claiming more than 5 kits

I think the total settlement for gskill is about half of what Corsair was

[harsh quartz]

not sure what my current kit is but i had trident z on ddr4

i was planning on buying a ddr5 kit last year, but then ram price doubled overnight and i just decided fuck that

[gilded quest]

I regret not buying some 64gb kits since they were so cheap

Like $160 for some basic ass crucial D5 kits

Speedy? No
Low latency? Nope

Price per GB (9 months ago)? Very good

Not having any backup D5 is making me a little nervous

[harsh quartz]

oh my current ones also gskill

[tender glade]

How much ram did you buy!?

[harsh quartz]

i guess i have 2 gskill kits to claim

[chilly egret]

Yup, bought 2 as prices were starting to creep up, had 2 editing computers I needed to build now kicking myself for not buying more.

[gilded quest]

I worked at Corsair for a few years so I got a couple of kits with employee discount

I claimed 5 kits

[short rock]

could you get any kit you wanted

[harsh quartz]

aight, ive got the form submitted for both my purchases with proof

[short rock]

with the employee discount

[winged spire]

Celestron is being sued for price fixing and shit

Literal telescope monopoly

If yall have ever bought a celestron keep an eye out for the email

[short rock]

are they consumer grade or professional gear?

Distilling pure orange 🍊

[gilded quest]

When I worked there, yes
Ram/SSD discount was 30%

Other PC components were 40%

Peripherals 50%

Systems - 5%

[winged spire]

Not bad at all

I guess that’s their margins leaked? lol

Seems like it was probably at cost for employees

[gilded quest]

I think we were limited to $2k of purchasing a year

Maybe that was per quarter?

[gilded quest]

Peripherals margins are good

Although I wouldn't be surprised if employee discount on cheaper cases/PSU had them losing a few bucks

[winged spire]

My Bestbuy employee discount got me literally 90% off basically any Bestbuy brand peripheral lol

The markup is inane

[gilded quest]

Best buy branded peripherals???

[winged spire]

Well, insignia

[gilded quest]

I guess if you need a USB membrane keyboard to connect to a server

[winged spire]

I got so much shit working there

Ontop of the employee discount, companies would offer us crazy discounts on random stuff

[gilded quest]

I'm still trying to get rid of my Corsair stuff

[winged spire]

I got my JBL authentic 300 speaker for like 120$ brand new

[gilded quest]

It's not that I don't want it
It just takes up too much space

[winged spire]

Got a powered 12” kicker sub for less than 200$

[gilded quest]

I just threw away like $1500 (original retail) of mice

[winged spire]

One 12” powered and 1 passive 12”, 400w amp built in

[gilded quest]

They all had holes drilled into them to solder external wires to the switches

[winged spire]

Oh, like test units

[gilded quest]

Retail units of competitors, but yeah, for internal testing

Actually I had one Corsair DVT unit of a mouse that did go to production in that box

Technically should have sent that back or made sure it was thoroughly destroyed

[short rock]

oh cool

[short rock]

wait how does that work

oh it is five percent I thought that was negative 5%

[short rock]

ah cool

[gilded quest]

Yeah, full systems were much less discounted

can someone please help me update my bios

i got gigabyte bios and i have a usb

[surreal linden]

you should try and figure out your exact motherboard model then try to find it on gigabytes website (assuming you have a gigabyte motherboard) and all the bios updates and drivers you need should be there

if your not exactly sure you can do win+r to pull up command prompt type in msinfo32 and look for “baseboard product” and it should tell you if you have a prebuilt tho there might be a chance it doesn’t and just gives you the serial number of the computer

My discord account has been hacked...
Lost everything...
I'm deleting my account rn 🙁

[sharp cipher]

Can I request something of you

[static jetty]

ask away

[sharp cipher]

Can I get a understanding on how I get muted for I understand pinging staff but I was trying to get a scammer banned I just don’t get it

@static jetty

I hate donutsmp staff

Also you might wanna fix you YouTube discord link

[static jetty]

no

Sorry, nothing I can do there

[sharp cipher]

Wdym

[sharp cipher]

Can you ban him and get me unmuted for doing a right thing

[rare otter]

If your using intel core i3 4130 graphics for framegen on lossless scaling how would that workout
When your running the game with a dedicated gpu like a qualdro p2000

[sharp cipher]

I have no idea

[sharp cipher]

Please just help

[oak pier]

Help by doing what lol

[oak pier]

Very poorly

[rare otter]

On what part

[oak pier]

Everything

[static jetty]

no, sorry

[sharp cipher]

Why not

[static jetty]

it’s Minecraft related

[static jetty]

because I don’t want to

[restive lion]

Trolled

[sharp cipher]

Wdym u don’t want to, u should want to, you are a horrible person if you don’t want to ban a scammer that makes kids cry, and un mute me because I was trying to be to get him banned

[dusky jacinth]

C o n f u s e m e n t

[sharp cipher]

Ok buddy

[sharp cipher]

Please it takes 5 minutes

[restive lion]

They said no

[rough socket]

What discord are you talking about

[sharp cipher]

It’s donutsmp Minecraft

I hate there staff they can’t do anything

[rough socket]

Then leave it

[chilly egret]

.......... Harassing someone over another server is freakin weird..........

[sharp cipher]

No because I have got scammed the same way and I’ve talked to other scammers that have quit and they talk about how the kids cry and it’s sad and I’d really hate it if someone gets scammed the same way and since Microsoft can’t do crap maybe donutsmp can

[sharp cipher]

I’m not, all of the staff there think there famous and turn off there DMs and it’s really annoying

[rough socket]

You should really go chill a bit lmao

[sharp cipher]

So I had a mutual server with him

[rough socket]

Also discord isn't for kids

[restive elk]

^^^

[sharp cipher]

I realize that but a server full of 100k Minecraft players I’m pretty sure there’s a few kids

[sharp cipher]

Yeah

[restive elk]

"few"
more than half of them are younger than 13

[chilly egret]

If you don't understand that it is harassing after the first no... Bigger issues than scammers.

[restive elk]

and that other part takes advantage of it

[chilly egret]

Yea... nuke the server at that point.

[rough socket]

With time you'll lean that there is a way and form to say stuff

[restive elk]

last time I checked such servers are filled to the brim with kids

[sharp cipher]

That’s not harassment it’s poor staffing and scamming is a bigger problem then trying to talk to a mod

Hey guys, sorry to bug :c I swore there was a nintendo switch mods video from LTT? Like changing the case to translucient, and changing the joysticks out? But I cant find it, am I misremembering?

I feel gaslit cause I cant find it anywhere =w=

[naive totem]

:c

[junior mason]

Fk, repaste did not go well, im getting way higher temps, hitting 100+ after boot

Also fked up the battery

It detected but doesn't charge nor turn on without external power 😔

Send help

[plain gale]

mustve fucked something up hard if that happens on a repaste. there is always the good ol just try disassembling and reassembling it again

[junior mason]

It was a second hand company laptop that was probs refurbished so I think battery cable might have alr been fked, they had it taped in a certain way which I may have agitated, as for the over heating, guess Ill try assess it by taking a look at my paste job .-.

[junior mason]

Fortunately the cable itself for the battery is removable, it's a rlly good laptop in terms of maintainability, gotta give dell props, and that's a rare thing for me to say especially more so with how much I messed it up lol

[plain gale]

could just be something not properly tightened regarding the temps. rip regarding the cable most likely

[fossil frost]

laptop? ive previously slightly bent a heat pipe when doing a repaste on a laptop, and that put a slight kink in the heat pipe, completely destroying its ability to do its job

[junior mason]

No wayyy, I hope that's not the case 😭

[fossil frost]

i had to order a new cooling assembly from ebay.. luckily, a replacement was only £15

tbh.. i didnt HAVE to.. temps were high, but the laptop still ran "ok"

but didnt run "properly"

[junior mason]

🫠 mine is a little bent but I took a before I touched anything photos, so it seemed it wasn't me

Compared to online photos, it does look bent tho lol

My paste job ain't too bad is it?

Factory paste:

😭 I might just do a quick clean up and paste it one more time, dunno how much thermal paste I even got left but it ain't much

[fossil frost]

As long as the dies are covered, it's fine, you don't want too much because too thick damages performance

Thin, and even. That's what you want

Yours looks thick, uneven, and has gaps

[cold dock]

crazy pause timing ngl

[long briar]

thick doesn't really damage performance for as long as you're not flooding it, since it'll just pump out with pressure

but if your paste has nowhere to go, then that's an issue

[junior mason]

Just done the same, bought a battery cable and heat pipe for £16 😭

Rlly hope those will fix the issue, there's a massive kink in the current heat pipe

[frank lagoon]

oh man

thats like stub toe on wood table corner and get a giant splinter on it too

Just pulled the trigger on a 4.2kw solar panel system (most that my south facing roof will take), with a 16kwh battery system to go with it 😁

Oh

I’ll try that one second

[undone mountain]

It did work but i have to put a micro controller in the side soo its independent from the system

[buoyant osprey]

Huh from what I understand you told me to reset my bios settings back to default then change them to the way they were before I set them back to default then changed 1 settings I didn’t do before then booted

Right? If so then it’s the same settings as I had before I booted

Oh

If your system boots directly into bios, your system can't find a boot device

To my knowledge, that's not how it works. People can't pay to guest appear in videos generally...

<@&750150305383186585>

mine just says "no boot device" and THEN boots into bios 🙂

atleast mine tells since the normal msi user can be a little

stupid

[tardy terrace]

OOH WAHT WHAT HAPPENED

oh nvm I see

lmao imagine being triggered by a transwoman

[pallid falcon]

[hollow mirage]

you gotta select a boot device in bios I think

[north escarp]

With the pc off amd psu off. Re check your ssd or hdd is plugged/seated in appropriately. If first boot, also be sure your windows instalation media usb is plugged in (sometimes requires a specific mobo slot, sometimes can use any, see mobo manual for more info)

[analog lion]

i think most people dont have electronics blowers to dust off open bench cases. I have a c700m full tower but i think the next upgrade i do which wont be for a long while would be on a a45 max or something as beef but open case as that.

[covert moth]

ya same !!!!

a45 MAX is so dope, black or silver colour ?

[analog lion]

i have a gun metal build atm so it could go either

[covert moth]

i wanna get black, but im scared scratches will show badly, silver looks nice but... doesnt fit with most pc parts since its black

[covert moth]

sick !

[analog lion]

funny enough i spent way more on aircooling then going aio so i have 2 nocuta desk fans i can point at it

but again this build will not happen for a lonnnggggggggggg time due to the fact i have a beef cake tower that i threw my back on when i first got it

[covert moth]

thats so cool lol, yeah i like Noctua also. got the black 120mm fans, stacked my case filled with as many would fit. was annoying to route the cables LOL

[analog lion]

no reason to at the moment other than it being super painful to move and half the time give up dust it out within my room and just turn ony airfilter

its weighs over 80lbs atm

[covert moth]

i've always been sacared of AIO... for leaks :( also do you have to change liquid in AIO eventually ?

[analog lion]

no ill buy noctura dual tower 120mm when it comes out

[covert moth]

ah ok

[analog lion]

i have ua12 atm but noctua is developing a dual tower 120mm one that has no name yet u can see it at CES pics

its not good enough for them yet so who know when that will happen

but im also like you no aio cause of leeking

last thing i need is a leak on my 5090 astral and cry to the abyss

[covert moth]

AIO liquid cooler !

[analog lion]

yeah t used to be on there but the dual tower 120m isnt anymore but yeah the aio noctura cooler will see

[covert moth]

do you think its gonna be expensive? what with todays prices...

[analog lion]

an open air aio with a motor going gl u said you didnt want to be annyoed by the sound unless its the noctua motorless aio cooler its not happening

of course it will be expensive its noctua

[oak pier]

The dual 120mm tower noctua showed off was planned to be in Q2 2025, but since the fans that go with it already got delayed, the cooler likely will be as well

[covert moth]

ah ok

[oak pier]

actually it's probably delayed even further (not my image)

noctua doesn't even have a public estimate anymore for it

[analog lion]

i can wait its not like im running a 14900k on my ua12 its a 9800x3d and by the time zen 6 or zen 7 come out i expect some interesting coolers to be out on the market

[oak pier]

NH-U12A is already overkill for the 9800x3d

[analog lion]

i will say though its bit of a pain in the ass that my tower actually doesnt get enough airflow and chockes my cpu cooler even though ive put more fans in it

[hot tartan]

wow

[analog lion]

its not a great design that i have to put more fans in it

[hot tartan]

just get a NH-D15 G2 problem solved

[oak pier]

put more fans in what, the U12A comes with two fans, the most it can fit

[analog lion]

i could but i also sometimes like to see the ram sticks the few times i look down at my full tower Lol sits on a quarter apple box on the floor

my tower is the last far thing of an rgb light show so when its dark in my room theres barely any light coming from the tower part from the gpu and ram sticks

[analog lion]

oh i have alot of stupid aircooling fans in my tower sec

[oak pier]

the only lights in my PC are the network activity lights on the ethernet port

[analog lion]

https://imgur.com/a/2OsTyKW

you can see how my pc chockes itself out when closed

opening the front panel and side is the only true way to get enough air in it when running heavier stuff

like ill see 90c in some games when its all closed

i had plans to put extra fans on the bottom and top to introduce more air

the front cover really really chokes it up

[fossil frost]

Yeah. The bios is trying to boot into your os, but can't find your drive or your os. Check your SSD is connected properly, and if it is, check the bios can see it

Windows 7 nostalgia

I remember my old hp g72 had windows 7 until 2019 because we upgraded to w10 and the hdd died

[tranquil umbra]

i used to own a lenovo b560 pentium p6200 with win7, it was an experience to say at least

just got it replaced 2 years ago

I bought a bike and am now driving around more often xDD

[long briar]

Windows 7 is old enough to be nostalgia?

[winged spire]

Windows 7 is nearly an adult

[long briar]

that's not that old...

idk I feel like windows 7 is just natural progression

what nostalgia is, is pressure sodium streetlamps

because they had terrible colour rendering, a pain in the ass to dispose when they fail, but they provide a perspective you don't see anymore now that everyones gone from 2000K CCT to ~4000-5000K

loads of company verification documents will be on there too. and permit-to-work documents to prove that the applicant has the right to work in the EU

lots of very PII data that will not have been anonymised from the very entity that crafted the idea that all PII should be anonymised unless you absolutely need it not to be

which isnt saying a lot, but.. "not shit" is much better than where it was which is "absolute dogshit"

If Microsoft came out with a laptop with 8GB of ram 256 GB ssd at $600 would it receive same treatment as a neo?

[orchid gust]

Hello everyone, just installed new motherboard, cpu, and ram on my son's pc. Hard drives are the same, we have formatted the hard drives and are trying to install windows 11 on it freshly but after the blue screen where it installs it seems to try to restart but never does so or says looks like ur trying to upgrade or do a fresh install and whether we choose yes and remove the flash or hit no for clean install we can never get past that point. Any idea for me?

Mb has the 2.0 chip its a gigabyte b850 gaming wifi 6 and ryzen7800x3d

[naive totem]

Have you tried to change out the memory sticks?

Like taking one out and seeing if one works over the other?

[orchid gust]

Ok fixed it, had to delete all the old partition not just format them. Windows still didnt recognize any drivers and wouldn't show the ones I downloaded on flash drive so we had to go to command promp and type the line to bypass w no internet then we used a USB wifi plug in adapter to download and install all new drivers. Wooo been a long day. Ty for the suggestions

[left cargo]

Typical windows

If Linux had anti cheat support in games Linux would be number one

[errant prairie]

hi!

[velvet marsh]

honestly the issue is more fragmentation and support

[long briar]

they're... bad.

it's called the surface laptop go

and its got a sub-1080p screen.

oh and costs more.

Hi all!!

[humble peak]

Can someone video call with me cuz i need halp with my argb

[north escarp]

Put it in the 3 pin header, if one needs more 3 pin headers get a hub/controller and plug it into sata then a 3 pin and voila, the 4 pin is the fan control

Then use signal rgb software

[fossil dirge]

Hey guys

[wide loom]

is a 3050 a good investment

i just play roblolx tbh

[gilded quest]

Have you tried therapy

[novel river]

Bruh

[wide loom]

bro whats wrong

i dont own any triple A games i sold my console so i just play knock offs

[novel river]

Try free games like The Finals

[wide loom]

i only own gta on my laptop but i have a 1060

so what can i even play 😬

[novel river]

U have the 3050 already, correct?

[wide loom]

no a 1060

i want a new one

[novel river]

Ohhh ok

[wide loom]

im going to the store to buya new ipad

[novel river]

Why dont u save that money and put it towards a new laptop?

[wide loom]

im getting a macbook pro

[novel river]

Bruh

Then why are you asking about gaming?

[wide loom]

my family is buying me one because im graduating

but i want two laptops one to gmae and one to look productive

[novel river]

Ok, well whats ur budget for a gaming laptop?

Or what if instead of a macbook pro, u get something that can do both?

[wide loom]

like 600 rn

[novel river]

Okay ummm

[novel river]

Why dont u just get a macbook pro windows equivakent that can also game?

Like this is great for productivity and gaming

The ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) GA403

[tribal wyvern]

is it absurd that im calling a keychron q1 with GMK designer keycaps and durock cerulean switches (around $600 in total) a cheap piece of shit

I went from my custom $700-800 custom build (without these keycaps btw, they were just cheap ones) in 2020 with gasket mounting, god tier stabilizers to this consumer grade dogshit that pings occasionally because my keyboard broke and it has been a 'temporary' patch for the past 3 years, that i am FINALLY FUCKING ditching this year

[novel river]

Lol

[tribal wyvern]

i mean it is fucking dosghit

it sounds like garbage and pings like garbage

[novel river]

Shouldve gone with something razer

[tribal wyvern]

i cannot wait to trash this keyboard

[tribal wyvern]

I would rather kill myself than do this

(joke, but seriously)

[novel river]

Idk, my razer products have always been reliable

[tribal wyvern]

plastic dogshit

[novel river]

My Blackwidow V4 Pro 75% is great

I do have a few cusstom keyboards I have built though

[tribal wyvern]

This is CNC machined aluminum + designer GMK keycaps that cost more than you entire keyboard BTW + switches that cost about the price of your keyboard btw

[novel river]

ik ik

[tribal wyvern]

But the aesthetics are god tier but the body is dogshit

Its hollow as hell because I basically turned a $199 keyboard into a $600 one because it was unusable from the fucking factory. I refuse to even touch Gateron Browns and stock PBT keycaps

[novel river]

The Q1 isnt that bad from the factory. Most people love it

And I personally wouldn't spend $600 on a keyboard

[tribal wyvern]

It was unusably fucking awful

I went from a $800-1000 boutique keyboard to this

[novel river]

Then why is it recommended?

[tribal wyvern]

Because people dont know anybetter or have low standards

[novel river]

I think unusable is a little over-dramatic

[tribal wyvern]

The first thing I did was trash the keycaps and switches

[novel river]

Also, most poeple arent gonna blow half a thousand dollars on a keyboard

[tribal wyvern]

That is WHY it is usable. I basically spent $250 on top of it

[novel river]

Did the keyboard type and work out of the box? Then its usuable

[tribal wyvern]

I went from a boutique board that I loved to this piece of shit because that one developed a faulty PCB

That is why it was unusable stock, and this is a temporary purchase

I have 100% intentions of trashing it this year and buying something better finally

[fossil dirge]

Same my Razer products have been working very well for me

@tribal wyvern I would highly recommend trying out Razer they make great peripherals

[tribal wyvern]

No they fucking suck ass

[novel river]

Before I say anything else about Razer, I will say I am a RΛΖΞR Vanguard. But that doesnt mean I wont be critical of them or just glaze them

[tribal wyvern]

This crappy Q1 is four universes ahead of any razer keyboards, and my previous board was 200 multiverses ahead of anything razer makes. Also I had their mouse, and it died in under a year. I replaced it w a Logitech G PRO X Superlight (2x the price) and its been fine for like 3 years now

[fossil dirge]

Not really they work well I have Razer peripherals and the Blade and they have been working very solid for me

[tribal wyvern]

They fucking suck ass

[novel river]

Bros favorite phrase lol

[tribal wyvern]

Logitech atleast has good build quality if you dont care about key feel

[novel river]

So does razer dude

[tribal wyvern]

Considering it died in like 3 months, not really no

[novel river]

Most of my razer stuff has felt better than my Logitech stuff

[tribal wyvern]

SHEIN tier build quality

[fossil dirge]

I like Logitech but I prefer Razer because their hardware works well and very reliable and they have Chroma and THX Spatial Audio

[novel river]

THX spatial is cool but chroma sucks cheeks sometimes

[tribal wyvern]

Oh you actually use RGB and that garbage gamer audio gimmicks, ew

Do yourself a favor and buy a pair of Sennheiser headphones and a nice DAC

[fossil dirge]

I agree I love THX and I feel you about Chroma sometimes it doesn’t work well

[novel river]

I uhhh dont have a ton of money. I plan too at some point

[tribal wyvern]

Theyre not much more expensive than gamer headphones

About 300 total for both that would decimate anything else

[novel river]

Rn I have a pair of Astro a10s that have been amazing for the many years I have had them

[fossil dirge]

Are you sure about that?

I have my Razer Kraken V3 and I love my headset

[tribal wyvern]

Yes, 300 for categorically superior audio multiverses apart that it sounds like a live fucking concert is a fair price

[novel river]

Shes kinda right

[fossil dirge]

Sennheiser is good but not as great as Bose, JBL, and Sony

[tribal wyvern]

she*

[novel river]

Oh mb

[novel river]

Ummm idk about that. Sennheiser is considered god tier for a reason. Jbl is great though

[novel river]

I will say I dont own a blade. Their reliability is finally getting better so Im gonna wait a few years before I get one

[stable ginkgo]

bread

[novel river]

Peace and bread

[fossil dirge]

I’ll probably give Sennheiser a second shot especially that I use Dolby Atmos as well

[novel river]

I will say, my oldest razer product still in commission at my setup is my Firefly V1 Hard Edition

[fossil dirge]

@tribal wyvern Also you don’t need to spend money on a DAC you can use Dolby Atmos

[novel river]

A DAC does make the sound a bit better bc u have more power to run better headphones

[fossil dirge]

I love my Blade it’s a great laptop

[novel river]

Yeah, I like the blades, they are extremely nice but tbh they have had some bad reliability in the past. They are getting much better though

[fossil dirge]

True and there’s a DAC that can provide a great sound quality

[fossil dirge]

They’re getting a lot better over time I have to give a lot credits for Razer for that

[novel river]

I just got a new laptop. An Acer Nitro V16S with an Intel Core 7 and an rtx 5060

[tribal wyvern]

I am on the verge of throwing up

[novel river]

Loving it so far

[novel river]

Hey. Do u have to be so toxic?

[tribal wyvern]

Im sorry for my outburst

But suggesting software solutions for audiophile grade hardware is ludicruous

[fossil dirge]

I also have a Lenovo Legion with Linux installed

[tribal wyvern]

The handheld?

[fossil dirge]

The Y540

[novel river]

I will say that was a goofy comment. But for people who dont have the immediate income to go buy a decent DAC the software solutions are decent in the meantime

[novel river]

I have an MSI claw A1m

[tribal wyvern]

Theyre not massively expensive

Even a $50 used DAC is infinitely superior to Dolby Atmos

Atmos is also a subscription or paid service, so youre just paying for garbage

[novel river]

I lowkey keep forgetting how cheap u can get a decent DAC now

[fossil dirge]

Shouldn’t have said that it’s just that I like Dolby Atmos as well as THX

[novel river]

I mean, I currently use Nahmic Audio thats on my mobo, and for my A10 headset, it definitely makes the spatial trickery sound awesome

[tribal wyvern]

Im using these off builtin motherboard audio and its fine but it sucks

[fossil dirge]

@tribal wyvern I would probably invest in a DAC I do watch anime shows like Mobile Suit Gundam and My Hero Academia so I would like to have great sound

Also would work well for music too

[novel river]

My claw has nahmic audio as well and those front facing speakers are able to make things sound like they are wrapping around ur head its wild

[sharp leaf]

Anyone familiar with size differences between 3090 and 5080? Have some questions with my case to see if it would fit, etc.

[novel river]

I dont. I have an Arc b580 lol

[tribal wyvern]

@novel river just ordered btw

[jagged bough]

hi

[tropic phoenix]

Hey

[long briar]

right cause somehow people here convince themselves they need 32gb ram for watching YouTube

[wide loom]

just got ipad m4

[fallow idol]

You don’t need 32 gb ram for watch YouTube. Just 16GB ram for future proofing and a general happy experience

Well for watching YouTube technically a Chromebook would be fine

[long briar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LpG8WVblwk

[long briar]

you say that but that's just cope and acceptance of lack of optimization that windows suffers from

even the the fastest pc lags opening task manager

[restive lion]

If you're on a Mac 8gb is fine

[long briar]

but at least Microsoft gets their telemetry right

[tribal wyvern]

you don't know pain until your mom randomly swaps all your jeans out without you knowing so basically you have a 50/50 chance of not having any pockets now

i guess this is an excuse to buy a nice bag

I found out the hard way when my phone basically almost hit the floor

[long briar]

see why chromebooks work? they're an efficient os. macos is less efficient but has a far more advanced ram management. windows is the worst of both worlds

[wispy marsh]

Skirts it is

[long briar]

and for as long as pc users are okay with "throw more resources at the problem," spec requirements will keep going up and your computer prices as well

[graceful mortar]

😭 see this is the problem and why I keep buying brand new. Used doesn't make sense when every repair will be 3-5k in labor

[glad lichen]

what a username ha

[glad lichen]

fast SSD really help these days compared to 8GB years ago when we were on regular sata SSD.

[restive lion]

What

NVMEs have existed for more than a few years

[long briar]

Apple hasn't used a sata ssd since 2013

[glad lichen]

i know, but 8GB with sata SSD was super common combo i remember years ago

not 8gb with nvme (speeds)

[echo path]

Alr guys, I just got my hands on a 10th gen x1 carbon 32gb

Let's see how it fares for daily use

A lot of people say that they had thermal issues with it

[fossil frost]

my son uses an 11th gen thinkpad p1 with 32gb of ram and a laptop 3070, still plenty powerful for all the games he plays, and, excessive, for his school work, a 10th gen isnt that different from 11th, so should be decent

[echo path]

Yeah but the x1 and p1 are completely different series

P1 is much better for sustained workloads, x1 better for companies and IT

Rn I'm trying it on kali linux since i just got my hands on a few firewalls i wanna try out

[fossil frost]

yep, thats where it came from, it was my work laptop, and then they gave me a new gen of P1 and forgot i had the old one

[echo path]

This is my dad's old work laptop, they just let him keep it

But his personal one was alr better for him so he js gave it to me

[fossil frost]

kali is "babies first hacker distro".. its ubuntu with some preinstalled tools, that are all completely out of date, if you want to actually learn anything, know which tools you want, and install them yourself on a real distro

[echo path]

Yeah but I believe it's good for beginners

[fossil frost]

its not

[echo path]

bruh

[restive lion]

The only valid place to install kali is a vm

[echo path]

Yeah, but I already have lots of other laptops so I'm gonna be keeping this one as a dedicated lab one i guess

[fossil frost]

it dumps a load of tools on you, 10s of different versions of the same tool, or 10 tools that do the same thing, and expects you to just know for yourself that they are all the same but slightly different.. no "this is how you do stuff"

you would be much better off with ubuntu its self, and installing the tools you want, or if you want an easier transition from windows, linux mint, and install your own tools
