same to 980 pro

[shy geyser]

I misread lol alright then thanks. It's just I heard the new 970 Evo gets 97c, thought it might be too hot

[hollow zealot]

Never heard of that

[hearty spear]

I mean, I wouldn't buy the 970 Evo, cuz it's kinda overpriced, but it'll run fine

[pliant karma]

MC starting to cut the prices on it 2tb specifically lol

[hollow zealot]

Something something reliability

[merry rampart]

whats a faster replacement for vlc, it takes a lot of time when i have to convert a movie to add the subtitles

[pliant karma]

it still pains me I paid a lot for 2tb

[shy geyser]

I can get 2tb for like 150gbp sealed on ebay. What do u recommend instead?

[shy geyser]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/pmvc9k/samsung_970_evo_plus_ssd_hardware_revisions_does/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[hearty spear]

There are plenty of reliable drives that're cheaper.

[pliant karma]

lol my 980 pro is taking it's own course not less then a year in

[shy geyser]

Isn't 980 dramless?

I heard dramless bad

[hearty spear]

base 980 is DRAM-less. The 980 Pro has a DRAM Cache

[pliant karma]

980 iirc no but it's pcie gen 3, don't reccomend it

well then yea

still not reccomended

[shy geyser]

What do u recommend that's better than 2tb 970 evo for 150gbp

[dim aspen]

dramless isn't bad.. it's just another cost benefit analysis

you youngins don't remember the days of loading games from floppy drives

[hearty spear]

if it's dropped to 150 quid? That's pretty solid.

They used to be a fair bit more

[shy geyser]

No it's not but on ebay

[pliant karma]

lol you tell me I have a usb to floppy reader I used purely for fun.

[shy geyser]

Bare people are selling sealed ones for 150

[hearty spear]

I still have a USB Floppy Drive 😛

[dim aspen]

i need one

[hearty spear]

then that's a good price.

[dim aspen]

i have some IDE floppy drives

[pliant karma]

wait and I still have 2 windows 95 floppies

[shy geyser]

Tbf firecuda 530 is 200gbp

[dim aspen]

but no USB ones

[shy geyser]

That drive looks so nice.

Reckon it will last longer than 970 Evo?

[hearty spear]

good fuckin' luck plugging those in

[dim aspen]

got a bunch of old machines with IDE 😛

[pliant karma]

alrighty time to purge a bunch of shit from my 4 drives

[hearty spear]

#$%#$@^ Jumpers

[hollow zealot]

Nah just dump it onto an hdd

[dim aspen]

one of my IDE floppy drives actually has a CS jumper option

[pliant karma]

ya know what I have a NAS I can just do that

[hollow zealot]

Then put the HDD into a closet and forget that it exists

Fair enough

[outer creek]

is 870 Evo good

[pliant karma]

though I have a lot of useless stuff so I do need to look what I want to keep

[outer creek]

nvm

[hollow zealot]

But what if that useless stuff is useful later

[pliant karma]

👀 they're just videos for the most part lol

[shy geyser]

It's actually the 970 Evo plus. Is that one better?

[hollow zealot]

Oh lol

My guy over here with every single wan show vod downloaded

[pliant karma]

I can do that if I am so inclined too but I have like 6 WAN shows downloaded

plane consumption

[hollow zealot]

Damn aight

I have 3 tb total

So I definitely cannot

[pliant karma]

and also a blooper of linus when they hooked a gas pump to a pc

[hollow zealot]

That video was so good

Anything with the lmg team messing with industrial equipment is great

[neon mesa]

nothing bad about dramless NVMe

DRAMless being absolutely shit only applies to SATA

one of the best budget SSDs out there which a lot of people use is DRAMless like the SN570

[shy geyser]

is the 970 evo plus better than 970 evo? its faar cheaper everywhere for some reason

[neon mesa]

and it performs like a champ

[pliant karma]

lol I want to see linus in a actually flight sim training sim like the ones they use to train 👀 see his flying skills

[neon mesa]

virtual reality will be more exciting

[dim aspen]

He'd probably drop the engines

[pliant karma]

shuts engines off after takeoff hasanabi style

I think that is what he did

[hollow zealot]

One of my favorite episodes was when he was playing with ac equipment

Tho I'm sure with this shiny new building we're gonna see plenty of cool stuff

[vague dove]

Is the event page up yet

[hollow zealot]

I don't see it anywhere

I assume there will be an announcement of some form when it goes up

[sharp swallow]

Man the OG Apple Rainbow Logo slaps hard

[pliant karma]

Yea lol I still have my 3 year old dbrand skin on my last laptop

[dire quiver]

Are there any image cloning software that allows you to omit certain folders / installs?

[balmy igloo]

dbrand is expensive electronic tape

[hollow zealot]

Nice deskmat where did you get it

[pliant karma]

you know where hehehehe

[dim aspen]

lttstore.com

[hollow zealot]

[full fossil]

How did I know? xD

[dim aspen]

That was smooth.. just like this segway to our sponsor

[hollow zealot]

I was considering actually going and buying the deskmat but I already have a massive razer one

And the closest size I could find on lttstore wasn't big enough to cover my desk

Quite unfortunate

[full fossil]

Wow. That is nice..

[neon mesa]

i'd love an LTT waterbottle
its just shipping cost over half the bottle

[wary pilot]

Just moved to Langley, BC - and as a lot of the staff and probably some of y'all are from the lower mainland - where would I go to find good deals on monitors in BC/Canada? I'm used to Microcenter and Best Buy in the states (and Amazon for online orders), are there similar stores in Canada? I see places like Canada Computers, London Drugs, and Memory Express around here, am I missing anything? Thanks

[peak sable]

Hey I remember an episode where Linus mentioned a website that can scour for old account info and get it deleted, does anyone have a link to that site or the episode he mentioned it?

[rancid cedar]

Memory Express and Canada Computers are both good choices.

[dim aspen]

it was one of the sponsors on one of the gold xbox controller episodes

[full fossil]

Thanks dad.

[hollow zealot]

My opinion is my own

[vague dove]

I wish the details were clear about how to get tickets

On wan that said 12pm but on the event page they showed it said 12 am

[peak sable]

Thanks, my old number was registered but I forgot to do my new one when I changed it

[vague dove]

They said the event page would go live before sales looks like it will go live only an hour before or so

[hollow zealot]

I mean that kinda makes sense

[dim aspen]

they are trying to make it difficult for long-distance people from getting tickets by making it as hard as possible to arrange travel on short notice

[peak sable]

So uh is LMG sponsoring people if they wanna work for them but have to immigrate? I want out of the USA lol

[hollow zealot]

I wish I could find a way to land a job at lmg

The working environment there seems absolutely amazing, compared to my current job especially

[peak sable]

I mean don't get me wrong I have a pretty good jig ATM but we don't hire outside the USA it seems

[hollow zealot]

I know that I can get on a company that does work in Canada, just wouldn't be the best of jobs.
Not to mention I'd have to move about 4 hours North so that I wouldn't have a ultra long commute every morning

[dim aspen]

41 hr drive for me

[hollow zealot]

I'm working HVAC with the goal of using it to pay for more schooling in something like network engineering

[peak sable]

our company wont do that because they have to much realestate

Our generation will usher in the Quantum age IMO

Quantum computing differs from regular applications as you don't need it for YouTube and such

[full fossil]

True

[hollow zealot]

If you did use quantum computing in YouTube, I'd be confused as hell

[full fossil]

We didn’t have a need for color tv’s or internet capable phones at one point either.

@peak sable Immigration to Canada can be pretty difficult, LMG likely wouldn't sponsor someone unless they had a specialized skill they couldn't find easily in Canada. You could try immigrating under Express Entry (based on skills/point system), or, an easier option is to apply under the International Experience Canada open work permit if you're under 35 years old. IEC is a lot easier and allows you to live and work in Canada for up to two years. US citizens need to go through an organization like SWAP to apply

[shy tinsel]

how tall is he?

[agile jetty]

so I have to go thru swap

[agile jetty]

5'4 idk in cm

[naive elm]

5'6

167cm

[shy tinsel]

174cm is 5'7 almost 5'8

[wary pilot]

@agile jetty If you're in the US then you could go through SWAP, there are a couple of recognized organization you could use

I went through SWAP and it was pretty straight forward

[agile jetty]

Is life better in Canada than here

[shy tinsel]

So i'm taller than him as well

[wary pilot]

Depends where you live, your socioeconomic status, etc

The US is great in a lot of ways, but of course your mileage will vary

[agile jetty]

Middle class, south US with alot of racists to asians

I get blamed for starting covid 3ven tho I'm a teen who was born in thr us

[wary pilot]

Then yes, you'd likely find Canada to be a bit easier to get by, especially BC where the population skews more Asian. Then again, so does Washington and other parts of the US

[hollow zealot]

I've heard a lot of people try to use Canadian medical as a positive

[agile jetty]

It's better. But not much

[wary pilot]

But then again, you'd want a job that can help you afford living in BC which has pretty expensive housing

[agile jetty]

Instead of charging ya upfront. We take it form ur ta

[agile jetty]

I think I'll wait till I'm actually 18 and the crisis has calmed down

I'm downloading a 16MB File, and I'm REALLY ANNOYED by it taking 2 minutes.

[agile jetty]

also I just ordered thr LTT screwdriver and backpack
But
Rest in Peace stealth hoodie

[hearty spear]

It used to take 20 minutes to download 1MB.

[dim aspen]

word brother

[agile jetty]

Really. My ISP makes it about 3 hours to install a 4mb file

Paid for guaranteed 100mbps

1 KILOBIT SPEED

[dim aspen]

takes me about 10min to download and install GTA 5

[hollow zealot]

You ordered the screwdriver?

[agile jetty]

yea I'm an LTT stan

[hollow zealot]

You ordered the screwdriver-?
It's not available yet?

[agile jetty]

9u yea I'm stupid

thr screwdriver shirt

[misty scarab]

i pay for 1,100 Mbps but only get 500
called my ISP, they said my neighborhood is still on DOCSIS 3.0 not even 3.1
People in other places, pay the same exact price, but have fiber so they get the 1gig

why are ISPs so stupid

I pay the same. exact. price. but get a lower speed

[dreamy otter]

Competition.

[misty scarab]

theres no other isp in the area

[hollow zealot]

Ah aight

[misty scarab]

maybe starlink

[tepid pulsar]

I don't live near Canada, hell I don't live near the American continent but my Internet is super trash that I started to game at midnight so I can actually get good speeds

[dreamy otter]

Yeah that's why it's probably expensive for what you get.

Spectrum and AT&T Fiber are very competitive here, if you only have one ISP available no reason for them to be, so they jack up the prices

[misty scarab]

its the same price for the highest package

but you get different speeds depending on how they have your area wired

[dim aspen]

"up to 1Gbps"

[gentle slate]

Something is wrong with my headphone port on my S9

[dreamy otter]

They shouldn't be advertising those speeds then, and are you sure it doesn't say "up to.."

[gentle slate]

It spits the jacks out

[misty scarab]

it does the up too thing

[dreamy otter]

500/20 from spectrum is only $40/mo here because AT&T Fiber is here.

[misty scarab]

"We provision your modem to reach 1,100 Mbps, however due to fuck you, you wont get that" or something alone those lines

[charred kraken]

Buying a core i9 9940X would my hyper 212 evo cool it? XD

[agile jetty]

get the 9900k

[misty scarab]

I get ~ 500 Mbps down, 20 up (everyone gets 20 up on the highest plan), and its 109.00 a month for only internet, if you add cable its over 300

[dreamy otter]

is that spectrum?

[misty scarab]

nope

regional ISP only avaliable in a handful of cities across a few states

[dreamy otter]

ah. Have you looked into T-Mobile/Verizon 5G Internet?

[charred kraken]

@agile jetty bruh not to rock on you but if I say I'm buying an X series CPU what does that tell you in regards to my mother board socket

[plush jungle]

how do u increase the fan speed

[misty scarab]

tmobile and verizon have terrible reception here. You still get it, but mainly its AT&T for cell service

[agile jetty]

I dont care much about x cpu or their sockets
I hate intel and I don't know any shit about their X sockets

[dreamy otter]

So I assume you don't get 5G UW/5G UC?

[plush jungle]

t mobile has cheapest plans for families though

[dreamy otter]

Doesn't matter if you can't use it 😂

[charred kraken]

Its lga 2066 9900k is 1150 something

[misty scarab]

I don't get the stupid 5Ge stuff, I get the actual 5G. though I don't know which band it is. Its prob the longer range version.

I get around 100 Mbps down with it (in the sticks), and 57 up.
Closer to the city areas I get around 300 down

[dreamy otter]

What carrier? AT&T

[misty scarab]

yes

[charred kraken]

So no one is gonna give me an actual awnser?

[dreamy otter]

AT&T doesn't offer 5G Home Internet

[misty scarab]

and when they do my ISP is prob going to drop their rates

so people dont switch

[hearty spear]

maybe. What's the question?

[dreamy otter]

Check if T-Mobile has 5G UC at your home, if you can get it that's basically atleast 100+ mbps depending on signal

[misty scarab]

UC?

[charred kraken]

Will my hyper 212 evo cool the 9940X I'm buying

[dreamy otter]

It's on their coverage map. UC is their ultra capacity 5G

[dim aspen]

install a US Robotics 56k modem and sign up with AOL

[hearty spear]

without throttling? probably not

[misty scarab]

4G LTE

[charred kraken]

Would a duel fan water cooler do it or do I have to drop 200$ on a triple fan

[dreamy otter]

What about Verizon?

[dreamy otter]

https://www.verizon.com/coverage-map/

[hearty spear]

Do you want air cooling or water/AIO?

[charred kraken]

Something that is cheaper then 200$

[hearty spear]

fine. Do you want Air or Water/AIO?

[misty scarab]

4G and 5 " Nationwide" , and it says " check back later for home internet"

[charred kraken]

Well I have a 3080 ti pumping hot air into the case so... water/aio?

[dreamy otter]

I mean you could find a seller online who resells the older AT&T unlimited plans for hotspots

[misty scarab]

I have the AT&T unlimited starter

70$ a month, no hotspot, just unlimited

[hearty spear]

Arctic / Lian Li / EK AIOs will do it. 280 / 280 / 360.
Shouldn't be 200 bucks for any single one of them.

[dreamy otter]

I mean a seperate device that replaces your internet modem

[hearty spear]

What case are you using, @charred kraken

[charred kraken]

Idfk one sec

[dim aspen]

i have the ATT Gigapower fiber inside home

but i'm lucky enough to be living where it's offered

[dreamy otter]

^ same here

[full fossil]

gigglebit fiber

Sounds nice

[misty scarab]

my ISP has gigabit, you just need to live in the right area

and if you dont, fuck you, pay us the same price for slower speeds

[dreamy otter]

115MB/s steam download speeds 😛

[misty scarab]

The highest speed I hit so far was 87.5 MB/s

[dreamy otter]

Yeah I hate that ISPs do that, but I mean if you want me to be honest it makes sense business wise

[misty scarab]

they said they had to send a technican out when we upgrade to new speeds
I thought they were going to give us new wires or something

nope. they just needed to give us a new modem and a stupid mesh topology thing

[charred kraken]

@hearty spear sent you a dm

[misty scarab]

these pods that go around the house and plug into a wall

I thought it was EoP but no, its wireless

[dreamy otter]

customer owned router/wifi > ISP owned wifi solution

[dim aspen]

only downside to ATT fiber is the freaking router they force you to use

[dreamy otter]

lowest ping I get is 5ms, because they screwed up my install lol

[misty scarab]

I have a regional ISP so my ping to them is usually low

since I pretty much live inside of their server room

if I had symmetrical up/down I prob wouldn't complain

You can get smart bulbs then a smart light switch linked to the bulbs

[pliant karma]

you mean my hoarding of tech

[hollow zealot]

N a h

Tbh a side gig I considered was doing minisplit AC installs for miners or people with small server rooms

Almost identical to how lmg's main office has that minisplit for their servers

[pliant karma]

nice

[wet wasp]

oh no he back

[hollow zealot]

Which is a really good option for houses without central air

[pliant karma]

lol since we expanded our house like 10 years ago there are 2 separate AC units (new and old). The Old one works but we rarely use it cause no one is here minus me but the new part my dad signed a contract with socal edison for them to control when we can use the AC

which is between 8pm-morning

[hollow zealot]

Yikes

you know it's bad when runway asphalt melt/warps idk how London Heathrow is handling but yep

[hollow zealot]

That sounds horrible

[pliant karma]

cancelled flights suck.

but it happens

[dim aspen]

watercool the runway

[hollow zealot]

The hottest I've experienced was 115°F, which is about 47°C
And that was for one day

[dim aspen]

slap an EKWB on that bad boy

[pliant karma]

lol linus can assist with watercooling a runway

[hollow zealot]

This sounds a million times worse

[dim aspen]

i had a flight out of Las Vegas once that required like 20-30 people give up their seat cause it was so hot that day the plane needed to lighten up a bit in order to take off in the thin air

[pliant karma]

I'd give up a seat if the airline was compensating me with money

[torn cloak]

So I can play Sims 4 in safe mode on windows at what looks like 30 fps

[hollow zealot]

I'd do the same if they just made my flight free

what are you running a GTX 470?

[torn cloak]

My gpu at enabled I'm scanning for viruses in safe mode so is software rendering

[dreamy otter]

?

[dim aspen]

why are you playing a game in safe mode?

[dreamy otter]

AGAIN??

[torn cloak]

Because there nothing to do and Malwarebytes is slow

[dim aspen]

sue me i'm in a town hall meeting while chatting >_>

[pliant karma]

Parsec wtf are you in

really all I had to do was go into gamepad an unmap everything

[dreamy otter]

I got Parsec all up and working and then found out VALORANT doesn't work with it 🙃

[dim aspen]

Blueion did you also notice that Unity owns Parsec?

[dreamy otter]

nope! that's interesting

[white radish]

i dont use samsung pay but i see they got rewards still

unless if google already did that

by any chance does windows 10 movies and tv support 8k video?

[runic escarp]

Hi!

[short steppe]

I thought lan tickets were supposed to be for sale at 12?

[runic escarp]

If i remember well, Linus was supposed to use the Steam Deck for one entier month as its daily computer for everything
anything new about it?

[dim aspen]

@runic escarp i think that was intended for when they release the dock

[torn cloak]

What is the worst game you guys have ever played

[full fossil]

i am a bit stupid

[white halo]

six flags fun park on the wii. I got that game as a kid and it made me cry cuz i felt bad that my mom spent money on it

[full fossil]

but i can still use the extreme edition of aida64 right?

[white radish]

getting over it with bennet foddy

[dim aspen]

Avoid the Noid

[white radish]

oof my graphics card it artifacting

[torn cloak]

I would agree that game was a pain

[white halo]

planning a micro center visit for tomorrow might be new GPU and PSU time

[white radish]

nice

i gotta troubleshoot my gpu

[dim aspen]

i love not having to plan a microcenter visit.. there are 2 of them within 30 min

[white radish]

it artifacted badly right now on discord

[dim aspen]

so i can just swing by on a lunch break

[hollow zealot]

Microcenter is 2 states away from me

Wish there were one up here in the northwest

[white radish]

microcenter be 3-4 hrs away

[white halo]

there are several micro centers a state away which makes me jealous cuz id love one in CT

[white radish]

ikea is about the same

[dim aspen]

ikea is about 40 min away

depending on traffic

[white radish]

i wanted a gaming desk from ikea but delivery be like 70 dollars

not including tax yet

[hollow zealot]

Watch out some Ikea desks are too big for the LTT deskpad

[white radish]

i dont mind

[dim aspen]

just buy two!

[white radish]

my mouse be butter smooth on any surface

[dim aspen]

lttstore.com

i use a trackball so deskpad's aren't really required

[white halo]

I gotta get a new LTT deskmat cuz my current one is getting a lil raggedy from soldering

[dim aspen]

Logitech MX Ergo

[livid bane]

hey

can anyone help me with free download manager

[dim aspen]

uninstall it?

[livid bane]

no

i wanted to ask if free download manager willl continue my download if my pc shuts off and i turn it on again

[dreamy otter]

no lol

[livid bane]

because my electricity goes randomly and the game i download is big so idk if it will continue

what should i do then

[dreamy otter]

get a UPS

[livid bane]

i have a ups but it wont support my pc

[runic escarp]

what do you mean ? it's release, isn't it? i got mine with me 😅

[livid bane]

what should i do then

[dreamy otter]

need to get a higher end one then

[livid bane]

is there any thing i can download

[dreamy otter]

no lol

power going out will kill anything

[livid bane]

like another manager which supports

[dim aspen]

you're lucky i'm still waiting for my "turn" to buy a steamdeck

[livid bane]

like in epic games launcher the game continues after my pc shuts but not here

[livid bane]

not everygame

is there any other solution to this

[dreamy otter]

you could try JDownloader 2 but I doubt it will work

[livid bane]

hmm

[worldly venture]

Whale LAN website isn't up yet, is it?

[white halo]

gotta hype myself up before reserving a 3080 from micro center I hate spending money

[round flare]

Guys go into #off-topic and see how they delivered my aio

[hollow zealot]

Lan tickets go up tomorrow

Check LTT Twitter, they just dropped info

[hot night]

ok what is up with most modern UI designs being so ugly? the steam redesign made me switch over to the epic store and xbox games. And now i downloaded windows 11 and..... how is linux for gaming these days?

[white halo]

placed a reservation for a 3080 🥵 hopefully I can get a new PSU too

[naive elm]

Bruh linux is still not good for daily driving imo. But then I'm comparing the convenience of windows to Linux

It's very small things that add up

First and formost if you want a good experience, i'd be getting an amd gpu

[white halo]

is windows 11 that much worse than 10?

[naive elm]

Yes and No

[white halo]

because I haven't updated yet

[naive elm]

It has some new nice features along with stuff no one asked for

[vapid smelt]

10 or 12gb model?

[naive elm]

I'd reccomend watching this vid hosted by anthony

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZPRrYLGrhI

[white halo]

12 gb. the EVGA XC3 model cuz its the only one thatll fit in my case lol

[naive elm]

He lists a bunch of things you can do to improve the user experience

[fervent brook]

wsp

[white halo]

im probably gonna sell my 2060 super on fb marketplace once I get my 3080, I dont think theres any reason to hold onto it right?

[vapid smelt]

Other than it sitting around collecting dust and losing value no

[naive elm]

aside from using it as a debugging step if your new gpu bites the dust at some point

for some reason

and you don't have intergrated graphics

[white halo]

right, I've been having some bad luck with my past 2 gpus. My 2060 mini freezes to a solid color screen and my first 2060 super died after a month

[naive elm]

oof

[dim aspen]

there are good and there are bad. But nothing is ever rad.

[white halo]

well said

[naive elm]

3090ti is pretty rad

[azure falcon]

Fuck it feels great having a new job

[white halo]

or a job that you actually like for the most part

[dim aspen]

a 3090ti at 100 watts less of power consump would be rad

[azure falcon]

Oh Definitely been loving every aspect of my job so far

[hidden orbit]

Guys so I have a non rgb mobo and I want to use rgb ram. Can I use the software for the ram to control the rgb?

[vapid smelt]

A 3090ti not needing a 850+ psu would be rad

[azure falcon]

My last job was basically a huge pile of bullshit

[naive elm]

facts

[hidden orbit]

What do yall think

[naive elm]

imagine 40 series

[vapid smelt]

I turn off rgb so idk

[naive elm]

1200w minimum

[azure falcon]

Doing water heater installs think I'll finally be out of poverty making 75k

[hidden orbit]

can u control it if you wanted to

[naive elm]

the mobo don't matter

if your ram is rgb the software will take care of that

[hidden orbit]

So the software would still work

[naive elm]

yes

mobo does not have to be an rgb mobo

[hidden orbit]

And would it be the specific software for the ram or could it be like aurasync

Because xpg does not have a software

Well did

[naive elm]

depends what software supports it. You could try SimpleRGB https://www.signalrgb.com/

simple rgb is suppost to hook into pretty much any kind of rgb peripheral

[vapid smelt]

How is a simple job like water heater installation make you 75k, when I was 13 I helped my dad out with that super easy The longest part is draining the old one

[naive elm]

otherwise the software reccomended for the component should work fine

[hidden orbit]

What about argb

I wouldnt think

[naive elm]

I don't know what ram is not argb

they kind of all are?

[hidden orbit]

Like chinese stuff

Just saying

[naive elm]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[feral rampart]

I don't have rgb on my ram

[hidden orbit]

So like if I wanted to use aurasync on xpg ram non rgb mobo it would work

[naive elm]

as long as you have the correct software, the mobo is not going to matter

[hidden orbit]

The ram supports the software

Ok thanks so much bro 🙏

[azure falcon]

Company I work for pays a 1k a week salary typically doing 3 installs a day basically this Company is the only installer for home depot and lowes for 4 states

[azure falcon]

I also get a bonus so it would make a 52k yearly salary become around 75k to 80k

[vapid smelt]

Do you live in an expensive state like Cali?

[naive elm]

for installing water heater makes 75k?

o.o how

[dim aspen]

have you ever gotten the bill for replacing a water heater?

it's expensive

[vapid smelt]

My dad's a plumber we don't bills for that 😎

[naive elm]

ah. but why is it expensive?

[azure falcon]

I live in north carolina so my living expenses are pretty cheap

[dim aspen]

cause people these days are idiots an dwouldn't know how to install a water heater themselves to code

[naive elm]

is there a good reason for it to be expensive or is it just high margin?

[vapid smelt]

Time, it takes forever to drain a 50 gallon+ tank

[azure falcon]

Plus parts are expensive and paying for labor

[dim aspen]

high demand, low labor supply = high prices

[naive elm]

fair enough

[vapid smelt]

Some heaters use natural gas so people get spooked by that

[dim aspen]

it's why I make sure to do recommended maintenance schedule

[naive elm]

i'l learn to do that myself

not much you can't do yourself through some googling

[dim aspen]

I ahve a tankless so i really make sure to keep the maintenance on schedule

[azure falcon]

I want a tankless

[vapid smelt]

The oldest water heater I replaced was nearly 30 years old, The thing was built like a tank now the last around 8

[dim aspen]

i agree.. but remember google is only a start for general advice, you want to check your local plumbing codes as well

[naive elm]

oh totally man

it's only a start

[dim aspen]

there were people in my neighborhood who posted on our facebook page they were looking for a plumber to replace their kitchen faucet for heavens sake

[azure falcon]

Had to wear protective gear respirator masks in job last week

[naive elm]

I wouldn't diagnose myself using google :p

[azure falcon]

Customer had black mold 😑

[naive elm]

Me: has smol rash on leg
Google: You have stage 12 brain cancer

[dim aspen]

that's why spray my black mold with white spray paint.. make it much safer

[naive elm]

aw sheeee

[vapid smelt]

Did you get paid extra for working in a hazardous environment :p

[naive elm]

[azure falcon]

Yeah

[hot night]

thanks man

[azure falcon]

Love being on salary

[dim aspen]

i'm gonna wait for windows 12.. i always skip every other version of windows

[vapid smelt]

Are you a certified plumber to? @azure falcon

[naive elm]

it's probably gonna be crappier

[azure falcon]

Yeah both plumbing and electrical

[dim aspen]

i did the electrical work in my basement myself.. though i hired an electrician to put in the sub panel

[vapid smelt]

Ah ok I was doing the math and my dad got around $30 as a plumber doing way more then just water heaters

[naive elm]

the git commit will probably be like -48 +384820 Added more telemetry

[azure falcon]

I actually get my own company truck as well and gas card

[naive elm]

The only reason I still use windows is because I lock the OS in the basement, bolted to a chair with duck tape around its mouth so that it doesn't phone home on what I do and it does exactly what I want it to do and nothing more. Kind of how 7 was...

[dim aspen]

i still want something that rather than disabling telemetry simply reports fake telemetry back to Microsoft

[naive elm]

Windows 11 probably needs that and to be held at gunpoint with a bazooka to stop it phoning home

[azure falcon]

Can't wait till I'm able to build a new gaming rig

[naive elm]

ryzen 7000 + 40 series?

[azure falcon]

7970x and 4090ti

[naive elm]

aw hell ye

[azure falcon]

Might wait on gpu tho

[naive elm]

the only thing that sucks is the cooling and power requirements

[dim aspen]

just slap it on it's own circuit it'll be fine

[azure falcon]

Been reading into 5000 series and have seen some pretty eye opening leaks

[vapid smelt]

Valk is a plumber he can do a full custom copper loop

[naive elm]

I have a 5950x + 3090 and use a 420mm radiator (that's also 40mm thick none of those dumb 27mm thick ones)

[naive elm]

with full copper piping

[azure falcon]

One leak rumor I saw was gpu hitting 150tflops

[dim aspen]

i need heatblock made of gold rather than copper or aluminum

[naive elm]

jesus yeah

end-game cooling. A gold heatsink

be a bit squishy though?

[azure falcon]

Wonder if they could have that performance by going with an mcm die setup

[dim aspen]

laser cooling

[vapid smelt]

A very conductive and heavy gold heatsink

[azure falcon]

Diamonds

[naive elm]

I like gpu go brrrrrrrr but not at any power cost haha

power is expensive now :/

[dreamy otter]

Electrical is pretty fun honestly until you get shocked or get onto a bigger job/issue

[hearty spear]

try it on a CRT

[vapid smelt]

Only 0.09ish cents a kwh here

[azure falcon]

Would gpu use less power by going to a multi chip module setup with the gpu processors

[dim aspen]

120VAC across your chest is better than a cup of coffee for waking you up in the morning

[naive elm]

naw

[hearty spear]

maybe? But it would also be more complicated for software and make things more difficult overall

[naive elm]

the multi chip makes it cheaper as you can have more chips

more chips per silicon wafer

[hearty spear]

But given what's happening to dies, it's going to happen sooner or later.

[naive elm]

vs massive monolithic

[dim aspen]

the more gates you have the more power you need to run it that's why power requirements increase with each new generation of cpu's/GPU's as the gate count increases

[naive elm]

you could cut the die up into smaller chips but then just add more of them

nvidea atm is just like pack on more cores MORE CORES! in order to beat the competition

rather than building a more efficient architecture

[dim aspen]

so it doesn't matter if there are 4 1trillion gate chips or 1 4 trillion gate chip it has the same power requirements

[naive elm]

^

It would be better to have less gates and a more efficient architecture

than just pumping more juice into the machine

[azure falcon]

Mcm probably would be very efficient I mean amd cpus are in a mcm format and those are very efficient

[naive elm]

yeah AMD is doing better than nvidea in terms of power

but damn the power spikes

[dim aspen]

that is more due to their Chiplet design

[naive elm]

I'm not pluggin 2 sockets into 2 PSU's to run a pc

[hearty spear]

the primary benefit of MCM is that you get a better yield.
Smaller chiplets will have a higher output than big ol monolithic dies

[white halo]

but I need muh Nvidia Broadcast software doe. Once AMD releases something similar its game over

[dim aspen]

i remember when we had to do that in the early 2000's

[naive elm]

xD

[naive elm]

oh god...

[azure falcon]

I want to get 220v in my houses electrical

[hearty spear]

you're hilarious

[white halo]

wait did I miss something

[naive elm]

yes

[dim aspen]

everything

[naive elm]

everything

[hearty spear]

Do you know how many fucking generations we've always heard "AMD's Next release is the big NVidia killer!!!!!"

[naive elm]

great minds think alike

[azure falcon]

I've already got a case for my new build

[white halo]

oh I was meaning game over for nvidia being my next card

[azure falcon]

Corsair obsidian 1000d

[hearty spear]

LOLOL! Too many repeated letters bruh lol

[peak sable]

since like Athlon days iirc XD

[white halo]

I already know AMD can't ever overtake Nvidia lol *yet

[naive elm]

II know wtf

[hearty spear]

def don't say that, either. They just haven't done it yet.

[naive elm]

can't have SHIT in detroit

[peak sable]

specifically when I had my Phenom II X4 BE

[dim aspen]

anyone remember when it used to be ATI 😛

[peak sable]

yus

[naive elm]

remember when the logo used to be green?

[peak sable]

Athlon logo was lit

[naive elm]

green vs green

[vapid smelt]

No I'm only 22

[dim aspen]

anyone remember when AMD used to manufacture Intel CPUs

[peak sable]

Pepridge farms remembers

[naive elm]

I feel old...

stop it

[azure falcon]

God the case is fucking massive

[white halo]

I remember seeing the ATI sticker on my gamecube as a kid and was like huh idk what that means. im 21 now

[dim aspen]

no

[naive elm]

[azure falcon]

Yeah got the 1000d

[naive elm]

you buy a corsair 7000D?

[peak sable]

Remember when Tiger Direct and NEwegg was king for pc parts?

[naive elm]

full tower?

[dim aspen]

i only buy full towers

[hearty spear]

Newegg is still the world's largest vendor of PC Parts

[naive elm]

brooo why xD

[peak sable]

Newegg is shit now though and service wise is dethroned for king lol

[naive elm]

what are you putting in there?

[azure falcon]

I got it on-sale

[dim aspen]

if your case weighs less than 10lbs you have the wrong case

[hearty spear]

no

[naive elm]

nah never mind the price, like what is going in that thing?

the universe?

[peak sable]

I personally want a cube case but I aint spending 100+

[white halo]

its better to have too much space in your PC than not enough (I went ITX and am slowly regretting it)

[naive elm]

got a 66lbs case here

[azure falcon]

Two rtx gpus and three or four rads

[dim aspen]

i remember people reviewing the laptop i have and saying how heavy it was and it was huge downside.. and i just remember thinking that those people really need to build a little bit of muscle

[naive elm]

and 2 power supplies xD

[hearty spear]

I built a cube mATX PC case case for ~175$ out of styrene sheet and other things.

[dim aspen]

i have no problem lugging my laptop around and holding it while using it

[peak sable]

I assume styrenne is like a type of plastic?

[dim aspen]

even for extended period of time

[hearty spear]

yup

[azure falcon]

Nope I'll be go be quiet with a single psu

[dim aspen]

it weighs nothign compared to the 60-80lb CRT monitor i used to have to move around

[peak sable]

see I want something like the termaltake core v21 but its mATX

[azure falcon]

The rtx gpus will be evga hydrocopper kingpins

[white halo]

some day I'll move from the Sliger Sm550 to the 560 or 570 if I ever go balls to the wall with the CPU and need better cooling

[naive elm]

need an ice giant cooler

[dim aspen]

people are like.. "i'm going to take this 12th gen intel cpu and this 3090 graphics card into the smallest case possible" then they go "why are the thermals so bad?"

[peak sable]

I would need a whole new mobo to use a cube case sadly.. I don't wanna spend that much on one

[azure falcon]

I'll probably use ek for my cooling loop

[white halo]

lol thats why I stuck with my Ryzen 5 3600 with a 92mm aio. I dont feel like having a toaster oven on my desk

[dim aspen]

put those same components in a full size case and you'll see thermal improvements

[naive elm]

god I hate people like that way of thinking

[violet arrow]

I just learned that there is over 2 hours of footage that was cut from Thor: Love and Thunder. All because it got away from the plot and was comedic improve. LOL. I would pay for the Taika Edition or the Taika Cut of Thor 4

[azure falcon]

Can't wait till taikas star wars movie

[naive elm]

I pUt My 3090Ti AnD 12900Ks In A mInI iTx RiG wHy ArE tHe ThErMaLs So BaD?

[peak sable]

Wait.. is the corsair carbide air 540 any good?

[white halo]

I cant wait for Taika to make that live action Akira adaptation when I'm 1 million years old witnessing the explosion of the sun

[azure falcon]

Really hope Keanu Reeves will be in the film and it will be an old republic trilogy

[dim aspen]

i can't remember the name of the case but i liked the one that was on a LTT video that you could put two computers in

[azure falcon]

That's the one I've got

[dim aspen]

😮

what's the model?

[azure falcon]

Corsair obsidian 1000d

[naive elm]

it's gonna be heavy

those glass side panels alone

damn

[dim aspen]

yeah but i can put in a main PC and a stream PC into it no problem

looks for a mobo with 128GB ram capacity

especially if Intel ARC makes it so you can dedicated ARC cards to specific VM's

[hearty spear]

GPU Pass Through already exists?

[white halo]

oh right speaking of GPU's, how much performance am I losing by using a 3.0 pcie riser on my (going to be new) 3080?

[hearty spear]

until things like Direct Drive Access become an actual thing? Almost none

[white halo]

sweet no need to pester sliger yet

[hearty spear]

on an x16 card, normal use will rarely even come close to Gen3 speeds, let alone 4.

[full fossil]

like 3 fps? 😭

[hearty spear]

(on x8 or x4? That's a different story)

[white halo]

THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE /s

[full fossil]

explains why SSD speeds differ so much per generation

[hearty spear]

I mean, gen 3 to 4 doubled the bus speed, but effective speed was basically unchanged

NVME Drives are so bloody fast that gen 2, 3, 4, or 5? You can't fucking tell the difference

[wet wasp]

what does a zooming aio sound mean
in this warm wheater its zooming really loud
its 38c where i live rn

[vapid smelt]

Zooming?

Do you hear water sloshing around?

[wet wasp]

like a really loud fly almost

no

[vapid smelt]

Fan noise?

[finite cloud]

like a buzzing noise?

[vapid smelt]

Or pump

[wet wasp]

yeah

is it bad

i think pump but idk

[vapid smelt]

How old is the aio

[wet wasp]

like 2 months

almost new

[vapid smelt]

Is it mounted tubes down if it's on the front?

If it's mounted tubes up and the pump is at the highest point it can catch the air bubble all aios have and make unpleasant noise and ruin the pump

@wet wasp

[full fossil]

i made it to the top of the comment section, i am gassed

[full fossil]

They make pills for that

These work better and last longer with dry ice.

[white halo]

theres joy con then air con. where can we go from here

[vapid smelt]

If the radiator is below the CPU housing like this that would cause air to go into the cpu block/pump making strange noises

[coral verge]

Wtf does ong mean

[white halo]

on god?

[coral verge]

Dann

Damnn

Ur pfp bro

[white halo]

its how I feel on a daily basis

[hollow zealot]

I hate being at random people's houses when they're not around

Especially if they have ring cameras

[white halo]

are you robbing someones house? /j

[vapid smelt]

That's going to be me for 2 weeks tomorrow

[hollow zealot]

I'm robbing them of their money for AC repair 😎

The most annoying part is when they have a ring doorbell

Because then I have to check every single corner of the outside of the house that I'm near for cameras

[vapid smelt]

Just ask Amazon for the ring footage

[hollow zealot]

God forbid I text my boss on camera

I get the occasional person who has a camera specifically pointed at the AC

"To make sure nobody steals freon"

Just btw Freon is a refrigerant brand

[vapid smelt]

Who tf steals freon and not the whole unit

it's a lot easier to steal freon

then move a 300lbs+ unit lol.

[hollow zealot]

Because rn R-22 (which is the old refrigerant) is worth a stupid amount of money since they don't make it anymore

Once again
Freon is a brand of refrigerant

[glossy jewel]

there's a bunch of new stuff people just use freon as a gentric name for it

like how people refer to tissue paper as kleenex

[hollow zealot]

They come out with new refrigerants every so often that are "safer for the atmosphere" since older refrigerant absolutely murders the ozone

Freon made R-12

Like produced

[glossy jewel]

R22 isn't made anymore and is used in a lot of old commerical stuff so it's worth a lot

Nope.

[vapid smelt]

We should bring back leaded gas

[glossy jewel]

Yep.

I had to get a re-fill on my house which was R410A i think

was expensive

probably 410A

100% not R22 was stopped like early 2000s

[hollow zealot]

R-410a is the most common residential refrigerant

R-22 is a low pressure refrigerant and R-410a is high pressure, so you can't drop it in. There are kits (expensive kits) to convert systems tho

[vapid smelt]

More expensive then a new ac unit?

[hollow zealot]

In your fridge tho you're likely to have R-134a, which is another low ish pressure refrigerant

[hollow zealot]

Generally, yea

[glossy jewel]

system that old you' better off replacing it

[hollow zealot]

Or there'd just be no point because your unit is beyond life expectancy so you'll have to replace soon anyways

My company puts these locking caps on ACs to prevent theft

We've rarely gotten calls where it's happened, as well

[vapid smelt]

Is theft really that common?

[hollow zealot]

No

They're also in place so customers don't mess with them

So that jimbob who bought some 410a off Amazon and a manifold can't attempt to "make the ac run colder"

[vapid smelt]

I hardly ever see ac units if the front of peoples house

[hollow zealot]

Generally they're behind fences

That's a new type of refrigerant

Lol a lot of technicians don't have a license for that

It's flammable and incredibly toxic when on fire

That's a propane based refrigerant

A lot of modern refrigerators use it too

It's also stupid stupid expensive

[full fossil]

lights match

[vapid smelt]

Hey quick question I work at a place that loads new refrigerators in customers cars, I was told if they laid it flat it will not damage it as long as it sits up right without being turned on for 48 hours is this true?

[hollow zealot]

In example, 30lbs cans is the usual size for refrigerant bottles
R-134a costs $350 ish a can
R-1234yf costs $1k for 10 lbs

[hollow zealot]

Yeah, so the compressor has a special oil in it (this is why you can't mix refrigerants and whatnot)
And when you turn it on it's side the oil moves out of the bottom of the compressor

So you turn it right side up to let the oil settle

[vapid smelt]

Alright thank you

[hollow zealot]

I mean the EPA doesn't care about those cans for some reason

So I don't either lol

As long as you're not stupid enough to try to put it in your home AC

[vapid smelt]

Or inhale it

[hollow zealot]

Nah that'd be fine

Ordinary refrigerant can only asphyxiate you

And it'd take a whole room full to be really dangerous

Lol

Also the reason refrigerant kills the ozone is because there's no oxygen in it so it steals the 3rd oxygen molecule in O³

So R-1234yf is an HFO, which has oxygen, and it doesn't kill the Ozone

While R-134a is an HFC, with no oxygen

At least that's the simple version

Also blue chat?

[pliant karma]

finally blue chat

https://tenor.com/view/blue-kelly-blue-squadron-gif-19324553

[full fossil]

Not blue?

[vapid smelt]

Let's say I'm a villain how much refrigerant would I need to destroy the world

[hollow zealot]

[feral rampart]

Hey chat
Anything exciting happen to you today ?👀

[hollow zealot]

Also I'm so excited for the ltt screwdriver cause it'll work perfectly with my hvac bit

[pliant karma]

no but blue chat chain was broken

[hollow zealot]

Bell confirmed 😎

[ionic abyss]

so i guess with a 12700k and a 3080 i can run crysis remastered on highest settings right

[hollow zealot]

Another refrigerant fun fact: you can be paid around 10k USD for reporting people venting refrigerant 👀

[summer gulch]

sure

[hollow zealot]

I really hope so

[vapid smelt]

I should follow shady HVAC technicians for a living

[feral rampart]

Ye

[dreamy otter]

Just become a reporter at inside edition

[summer gulch]

keyword: can

[pliant karma]

lisa guerrero style heheheheeheh

[hollow zealot]

Well you'd never work HVAC again because every company would hate you

[summer gulch]

not "will be"

[pliant karma]

man been a while since I watched their videos

[summer gulch]

Watching HVAC videos imo is like watching IKEA assembly videos.

so blah

[hollow zealot]

Yea there's a reason they're working the trades

I enjoyed LTT's rendition of "HVAC" tho

Slapping some refrigerant in a custom cpu cooler

[abstract pulsar]

what would you do if i told you u could buy a 3090 24gb for 1.25k

brand new

[summer gulch]

not care.

[glacial basin]

6950xt moment

[feral rampart]

It's 900 now

[abstract pulsar]

no it aint

[vapid smelt]

Normal price

[glacial basin]

what it should go for is $899

[vapid smelt]

Nvidias new temporary msrp

[abstract pulsar]

for the 24gb kit?

did it rlly drop that much?

[vapid smelt]

3090 is only in 24gb

[feral rampart]

Yes

[abstract pulsar]

damyn

[feral rampart]

Exactly

[meager fog]

If im going to be playing at 1440p/144 and streaming at 1080/60, would a ryzen 5 5600x be good for this or should I get a 5700x/5800x/5900x, my gpu is a rtx 3060ti

[feral rampart]

5800x atleast

[hollow zealot]

Do you already have a mobo for those cpus

[vapid smelt]

Streaming should be done on the gpu 5600x should be enough if not 5700x

[summer gulch]

I have a 5800x, runs 4k just fine

[glacial basin]

Ryzen 5 5600 would be good

[summer gulch]

5800x on a 3060ti here

[vapid smelt]

Higher resolution uses less CPU....

[meager fog]

Okay thanks guys, I live in canada, the ryzen 5600x is 269.99 while the 5700x is 358.99

Is that worth the jump

[feral rampart]

More cores

[meager fog]

I see, does it matter that im using NVENC to stream

[summer gulch]

right now im debating on getting a 3090 today

[feral rampart]

I don't think it matters

[feral rampart]

Got a 3080 12 gb with the promotion thing for
740$

[hollow zealot]

I wanted a 3090 but had no reason to have that monster of a card

[summer gulch]

I do video editing in resolve with raw footage, so if im going to step up would be to a 3090 24g

plus im running 3 4k monitors and a 4:4:4 production monitor

GPU's make or break resolve

Anyone else planning on going to Whale Lan?

[white halo]

man I wish I could go to a LAN party, Ive always wanted to do the one at Pax East

[white halo]

is Whale LAN what theyre doing instead of LTX this year?

[summer gulch]

yep

[hollow zealot]

LAN supposed to be more local than LTX

And if I recall correctly it was meant to celebrate opening the lab

[summer gulch]

I am local, actually know a few employees there

[hollow zealot]

Well yeah

You're the target audience then

[summer gulch]

not really lol

as in personality wise

But I get what you mean

[white halo]

all I remember about seeing the LTX videos were the delicious LTT branded coffee from that I miss dearly

[summer gulch]

ive actually never gone to an LTX, like 9 times out of 10 there was a car show I had to go to when they hosted the event

Am I the only one who hates curved monitors

[white halo]

nah im sure there are other people that do. I feel that its only neccessary for big monitors above 32 inches

[half shadow]

My brother bought a 400 dollar curved monitor and it’s built like a dollar tree toy

It’s like 40 inches

[white halo]

what brand?

[half shadow]

Idk

Not any normal monitor brand

[white halo]

[hollow zealot]

Well there's your problem

[half shadow]

[hollow zealot]

I have a 24 inch monitor that's 144hz for 150 USD

CRG5

[half shadow]

I spend 180 on a 27 inch 166 hrz

It’s veiwsonic so ik it’s fina be good

[hollow zealot]

Hoping to get the Alienware monitor

[half shadow]

I don’t like Alienware I think there overpriced

[hollow zealot]

Because the one I have now is tiny af

[white halo]

alienware is mostly good for looks, but yea price is kind of wack

[half shadow]

I can’t handle monitors that are 24 inch

The saddest loss from the COVID pandemic is that they cancelled the KFC console
