it collects even more data and every time you open it, it does a geolocation ping

[devout sparrow]

college here

[gusty wagon]

Daijobu

[clear canyon]

cringe

[sand epoch]

whats gonna happen if they collect my data?

[clear canyon]

sell it

[devout sparrow]

if they collect my data, thats gonna be fun to look at 🙂

[sand epoch]

meh

[devout sparrow]

do they include caffine to read it, i am rather boring to watch

[sand epoch]

nobody has showed up to my door or any fraudulent bank activities yet

so im good

[devout sparrow]

if someone shows up at my door.....i might need a new door

[clear canyon]

they do way more than just sell it, but you should practice not letting company's data farm you

[sand epoch]

if it doesn't harm me , i shouldn't waste time thinking of something dystopian shit

[devout sparrow]

i had someone try to doxx me and i gave them a useful piece of data that made them not wanna come anywhere near me 🙂

nothing like 12 and 357 in the same sentence to make kids panic

[sand epoch]

everyone collects data

[clear canyon]

you are not thinking of this seriously

[storm jasper]

Hi

[sand epoch]

apple , samsung , google , microsoft everyone lol

[sand epoch]

what phone do you use

[clear canyon]

?

why

[devout sparrow]

waits for the room to catch the importance of those numbers

[sand epoch]

im asking what phone do you use

iphone?

[clear canyon]

i hate iphones, no

[sand epoch]

what do you use instead

[clear canyon]

why

[sand epoch]

you can't answer a simple question?

im asking this in reference to the topic

[devout sparrow]

gets the palmos phone out

[clear canyon]

no, im choosing not to

[devout sparrow]

remember those

[gusty wagon]

Heh, we're the same. The people in our worlds has forced us to judge others instead of just enjoying things

[storm jasper]

Is it just me who uses brave?

[sand epoch]

well , whatever phone you use still collects your data , what can you do about it?

nothing , it's the same as using chrome or edge or opera

[clear canyon]

DNS, VPN, content blockers, etc

[sand epoch]

it's all the same

[clear canyon]

wrong

[sand epoch]

you really think vpn does something?

[storm jasper]

Nokia: 🗿

[devout sparrow]

a vpn does have its uses 🙂

[clear canyon]

yes? obviously, you seem to be tech illiterate

vpn companys are not allowed to sell or give data

[devout sparrow]

yep

[sand epoch]

do you know what imei is?

vpn can't block imei

police can track you with the IMEI easily lmao

[clear canyon]

so? thats a tracking number, not a data collection number

[sand epoch]

do you think a stalker won't try to get your tracking number?

[clear canyon]

company's dont actively track you to collect data

[devout sparrow]

kevin mitnick was well informed on cellphone tracking

[clear canyon]

not with imei

[devout sparrow]

kinda dead now 😭

[sand epoch]

Nokia smartphones?

[devout sparrow]

those with it jobs and security roles will likely know that name

[sand epoch]

lol

i don't think anyone uses that 2001 ah nokia phone anymore

[devout sparrow]

motobrick with text messaging 🙂

[terse sorrel]

i got a qwuestion about psu guys

[sand epoch]

you can't catch me using a keypad

[terse sorrel]

do the 2 cpu cables have to go side by side?

[sand epoch]

yes you can use it as a pipe bomb

[terse sorrel]

into the psu

or can they best distanced across 2 ports

[clear canyon]

that go into the spots that says cpu, as long as its the right connector, it does not matter

[terse sorrel]

cpu/pcie is the same portyes

[clear canyon]

different wiring, no

just put the cpu cables into the cpu labled ports

[terse sorrel]

why is my pcie/cpu port the same

[clear canyon]

idk

[terse sorrel]

I connected the pcie cable on the left and cpu cable on the right btw

Just in case if that’s what “pcie/cpu” means

[formal sonnet]

Always best to list your exact make / model of PSU when asking questions that may or may not result in immediate death to components if a cable is plugged in incorrectly. Otherwise, we might tell you to do something that breaks your components.

[terse sorrel]

Corsair Rm850e

[left dove]

[formal sonnet]

Looks like they are indeed pinned the same on the PSU side, so Corsair must be properly arranging the pinout on the end of the cable that plugs into the device.

[left dove]

kirashi = dork

(but cool dork)

[terse sorrel]

yeah end of the cable specifies cpu / pcie

but into the psu they're both the same

[left dove]

I SAID COOL DORK

[terse sorrel]

go into the same port

[devout sparrow]

be careful on psu cables as i recall their was a big scandal over gthat where warranty ones had different pinouts and they failed to tell people about it

[terse sorrel]

my cables came with the psu

[devout sparrow]

i forgot the brand but people assumed the replacement would just plug in

[terse sorrel]

i put pcie cable on the left port and cpu on the right port just to make sure

[gusty wagon]

Corsair iirc

[terse sorrel]

do u think the 2 cpu cables should go in side by side?

[left dove]

mornin' sif

[gusty wagon]

Noon

[left dove]

Close enough

[formal sonnet]

If Corsair pinned them out correctly, this shouldn't matter. If you're uncertain, consult the manual. If you're still uncertain, contact the manufacturer. (Or don't buy from confusing manufacturers.)

[gusty wagon]

Oh evga

[left dove]

I can't recall what we became friends over, do you remember at all?

[gusty wagon]

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1563323-egva-power-supply-pin-layout-change-featuring-fried-hard-drives-beware-when-warrantying-a-psu/

[gusty wagon]

I don't remember too

[terse sorrel]

Do I have to plug in all 3 😀

[left dove]

yes

[terse sorrel]

That’s wild

[clear canyon]

yes, or else it wont turn on

[devout sparrow]

3 of them, how much power is that card drawing?

[left dove]

yes

[gusty wagon]

Up to 450

[terse sorrel]

350w

[gusty wagon]

Hmm

[covert dagger]

Hey y’all. Looking for M.2s. Sn770 is $120, sn850x $150. Worth the $30? Both 2tb. I game, edit, data analysis, big files

[clear canyon]

3090?

[left dove]

get the 850

[gusty wagon]

Peyton, how many flags do you fly?

[left dove]

In regards to my gender/sexual identity?

[gusty wagon]

Oh

I remember now

[left dove]

Well don't leave me hanging 😭

[gusty wagon]

idunno

[covert dagger]

So 850 worth the $30 bucks then. Faster I assume? Better for workloads?

[left dove]

What do you mean by this

[clear canyon]

30 bucks? wtf

[left dove]

$30 difference

[covert dagger]

$30 more*

[clear canyon]

ah

[gusty wagon]

Flag of america

[clear canyon]

country flag

https://tenor.com/view/america-hurricane-happy4th-of-july-america-flag-independence-day-gif-21259025

[left dove]

no but why would I be flying multiple flags

[hoary agate]

Do you guys think I could run a half slot card in a full slot?

[clear canyon]

yes you can

[left dove]

yes

[devout sparrow]

you man 4x in a 16x slot, yes

[left dove]

its a common practice

[hoary agate]

no literal size of the bracket

[left dove]

you can run an x16 device in a x4 or even x1 slot

[devout sparrow]

oh you got the small form factor cards and need to get in a full size slot?

[hoary agate]

Ye

[left dove]

llike, height or length

[hoary agate]

Cuz i don’t wanna spend extra for a full height bracket fr

[devout sparrow]

it will electrically fit, but often those cards had a full size bracket with them

[left dove]

yeah dont run the card just flopping in there

[hoary agate]

Yea that’s why I’m asking cuz I don’t want to leave it in there

[devout sparrow]

depending on your handiwork level, could likely duct tape a slot cover and the card to keep it in the slot

[limpid dune]

it mildly sucks that my 4080S (320W card) requires a full 600W cable. I could stick a second GPU in there but noooo not enough power plugs

[devout sparrow]

id suggest cutting the slot cover not the card itself

[hoary agate]

Won’t I be able to use the screw and a riser to get it to be onto the standoff and keep it there?

[limpid dune]

I did the math that would allow me to run an RX6600 as well, but no. Need more plugs

[devout sparrow]

this is a example here

[left dove]

because most people should only ever need one gpu in a system

[limpid dune]

using my 4080S for CUDA while gaming on the RX6600 (or vice versa) would be awesome

[left dove]

[devout sparrow]

the only difference in sff and normal cards should be that bay cover

[limpid dune]

plus; using my RX6600 for a MacOS PCIe passthrough in a VM

[left dove]

what cuda-specific task would you be running

WHILE you are playing a game

[devout sparrow]

SFF card

[limpid dune]

I mean, I do a lot of CUDA tasks, fiddling with LLMs, hashcatting, my job (physical simulations), video encoding, etc

[hoary agate]

@devout sparrow nvm I found out that the specific GPU I was gonna buy acted weird with intel so I’m gonna get a w2100 with a normal bracket
Thanks so much for the help tho

[devout sparrow]

i had this specific issue getting firewire cards

[clear canyon]

old

[devout sparrow]

i had a old tv capture box for firewire that was more sentimental than useful

it did work, bit what a pain in the rear finding software support dvcam import

[limpid dune]

nothing worse than an overclock that you thought was stable but isn't

[devout sparrow]

laughs i paid 30 bucks for that capture box as i thought they would be unobtanium after 20 years

eventually going to build a retro pc as i had fond memories of that time

[mint umbra]

Is this the worst 80 class card gen

See a lot of hate regarding the 5080

[devout sparrow]

are the scalpers having a field day with those?

its not like etherium mining is driving them anymore

[raw trout]

Operation upgrade here I come

[left dove]

ew harry pooper

[bleak ledge]

Long wait on that SSD

[devout sparrow]

laughs a little at a thing on razor gaming mice

[rigid fjord]

you forgot the 'eh?' after

[left dove]

I'll be a nuisance of a faux canadian when I actually get up there

[devout sparrow]

if you get a defective one, cut the detachable cord for charging the wireless mouse for warranty puroses., uh...its usb c 🙂

[covert dagger]

ASRock B650 Pro ($140) or ASRock X870 Pro ($220) for 5090 9800x3d combo? Using PCIE 4.0 SND850X SSD.

Really worth $80 more?

[rigid fjord]

yup, basically type 4 pinout mostly, though the 1000w one may differ to type 5, can't remember properly on that onw

[rigid fjord]

asrock b850 instead

the ssd doesn't matter

[covert dagger]

Steel legend?

It $210.

Is it better than 870?

Or is it just design diff

[rigid fjord]

which country?

[covert dagger]

USA

https://tenor.com/view/the-1st-american-citzen-gif-12672392163296582273

[rigid fjord]

for you, yes, you really don't need to with any x870 mobo

[rigid fjord]

shoulda gone mx500 instead of bx500 for sata ssd

[covert dagger]

I already have it and price diff is only $10. I think I’ll keep 870

I was looking at 650s though. $80 diff

In WiFi 7 and pcie 5 really worth it?

I think 5090 use pcie 5

[left dove]

itll be relevant in a few years

[rigid fjord]

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813162190
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813162188

[left dove]

5090 isnt stable at pcie 5 iirc

[rigid fjord]

nope, not for the average user

[trim gyro]

wtf asrock massacred the livemixer

[left dove]

also it wouldn't even saturate 8 lanes of gen 5

[rigid fjord]

it's better than the orange theme but yeah i'm disapointed

[covert dagger]

Won’t updates help it become more stable with time or is it hardware compatibility issue?

[left dove]

i think it was just the founders edition card 'cause of the little ribbon cable thing it uses to connect to the physical pcie bit

[covert dagger]

Wtf really

That’s a pretty big oversight

[clear canyon]

yep

its flexible

[left dove]

noOOO

a ribbon cable??

flexible?????

NOOOOOOO

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-fight-beat-up-beating-punching-gif-13866624219462802987

[rigid fjord]

oh and the intel one even loxt character

[left dove]

also what a lame-ass leg chop, dude needs to work his thighs more

[covert dagger]

Dang I wanted 5090FE but I’ve been hearing so many issues about it. Coil whine and now ribbon issue .

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/power-explosion-gif-26240097

[safe kite]

i have a r5 7600, i tried my friends rtx 3060 on valorant, then i bought my own later a 7800 xt and lost like half the fps, how?

[left dove]

cringe anime response 0/10

[clear canyon]

no drivers

[trim gyro]

did you install your drivers

[safe kite]

yup

[left dove]

are you sure

like are you absolutely positive

[safe kite]

yes i downloaded the 7800 xt drivers from their website

[swift moss]

umm i may have bricked my esp32

[left dove]

are you 100% certain that you installed them

[swift moss]

i accidentaly changed the board type to an adafruit version and now the board is not connecting via serial

[safe kite]

ill try installing them again

[left dove]

im thuper thereal right meow

[left dove]

are. they. installed.

[left dove]

oof shes ded

[safe kite]

ill install them again to be sure 🤣

[swift moss]

i dont think so im ngl

[left dove]

BUT ARE THEY INSTALLED

[swift moss]

i dont know how i could kill it that quickly (considering i simply uploaded code)

[safe kite]

YES

[left dove]

ARE THEY??

[safe kite]

YUH

[left dove]

Good ok so what you wanna do is use DDU to do a clean driver uninstall and then get your drivers from amd's website

[junior valve]

idk , buy nvidia or smt

[left dove]

when you do this, make sure to do it in safe mode, and make sure you're not connected to the internet

[swift moss]

@left dove #provethehaterswrong

bruteforce is always the way to go

[safe kite]

sure thing

[left dove]

ah yes, the embedded pissram

[snow bloom]

so the rtx a400 sff, the two slot gpu with 20gb of vram and the power of the 4070 in gaming that pulls ONLY SENTY WATTS will have a blackwell version after ada?

[left dove]

@clear oasis mornin'

[toxic lagoon]

Hmm

[gusty wagon]

hmm

[elfin night]

is there a big difference between samsung 990 pro vs 970 evo pro? (SSDs)

[trim gyro]

effectively no, but it can make a difference if you frequently copy/write lots of files or transfer files from computer to computer

[grizzled nova]

I wonder why my pc was overheating

[thin oak]

can I ask about aosp related stuff here? How much specs does my pc need to have to run aosp in my ubunutu?

[grizzled nova]

I think that would be #linux

But idk

[rigid fjord]

definitely not enough paste

[grizzled nova]

Dell prebuilt moment

But the paste is about 9 years old now

[elfin night]

but for gaming, its either right?

[trim gyro]

doesn't matter

[elfin night]

alright ty

1tb cheaper than 500gb

🔥🔥🔥

WD_Black a good company?

[formal sonnet]

WD_Black isn't a company. The WD_Black series of SSD's from Western Digital is half decent though.

[elfin night]

alright thanks, not really aware of ssd companies (except samsung obv)

but i know samsung overcharges like crazy

[steel umbra]

Damn carrot

[trim gyro]

girthy

[formal sonnet]

Eh, not so much anymore. All brands have their "overpriced" series. Best thing you can do it buy what's on sale at the time you need the SSD. Right now... we're still riding the overinflated NAND Flash train. 😦

[livid fern]

Way overpriced

[safe kite]

Bro im stuck in login screen😭 i turned on safe boot without network on and now it says setup my pin and when i click that it needs wifi. Endless loop.

[elfin night]

alright what 2tb ssd would you recommend then?

[livid fern]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/VYqrxr/kioxia-exceria-plus-g3-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-lsd10z002tg8
Or sn580/xg7000

Xg7000 is nm790 clone

[trim gyro]

teamgroup mp33

[livid fern]

Too much versions

[rigid fjord]

that carrot would make some people happier than you know

[elfin night]

alright im gonna go for the sn580

[steel umbra]

i eat it now

[elfin night]

thanks guys

[steel umbra]

it good raw

[rigid fjord]

check sn5000 also if it's cheaper

[livid fern]

Sn5000 is far more expensive

[elfin night]

difference is like £20

[livid fern]

Its Same price AS t500 nahhh

T500 is on sale

[elfin night]

my build is approx £1.5k im just unaware what ssd to go with it (i just know to do NVME and M.2)

[livid fern]

Could we see your build sir

[elfin night]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DpjGnp

[rigid fjord]

m.2 is just a form factor, nvme (pcie) and sata are protocols on it

[rigid fjord]

save some by going for a b850 steel legend

that x870 really ain't worth it over it

[elfin night]

alright ty done

my current pc is almost half that price, im just planning to give it to my sister

and my experience with r5 cpus are fucking ass

[left dove]

that's a dirt sausage

[elfin night]

but its funny my old build was b450-f and i guess my new one is gonna be a b850 lmao

[rigid fjord]

sounds like you've not bought the right ryzen 5's

[elfin night]

r5 5600G

[rigid fjord]

yeah, a wrong R5

[elfin night]

was brand new when i bought it and had higher core clock speed than the 5600 when i was picking it

[trim gyro]

well, higher clock doesn't mean it's better

[elfin night]

i was under the impression that it does…

[steel umbra]

Big core, also wtf why is my phone shooting photos so off color since an update

My hand is blue

[rigid fjord]

lol, nope, it's literally going for an r5 3600 but with half the cache and being pcie 3.0 only, with a gt1030 attached to it

[trim gyro]

an i3 12100 running at 4.3ghz would crush my i5 2500K running at 4.5ghz

[elfin night]

i bought a 6600 for it

[trim gyro]

even with hyperthreading disabled on the 12100

[trim gyro]

if clock cycle was the only thing that determined performance, cpu performance per generation would stagnate so much

[rigid fjord]

tbf 12100 > 5600g

[trim gyro]

I see the 5600g as a 3600 with a igpu

but I think it's the wrong generation

[rigid fjord]

it is, though with 16mb l3 cache instead of 32mb cache

[eternal cloak]

12100s beat or match anything that's a 10600K/9900K and older, if you somehow BCLK it, you're looking at a 10700K and older

[rigid fjord]

despite it being a zen 3 cezanne cpu, it's no better than a zen 2 matisse

[abstract wigeon]

what site is this?

[rigid fjord]

technical.city

the other one i'd also use would be cpu/gpu monkey

[left dove]

an kazoomer

[eternal cloak]

itll be fine

[steel umbra]

I prob haven't seen a larger carrot core

[shell arrow]

Carrot chat

This server is a social experiment ong

[shell arrow]

How have you seen other carrot cores

What is ur job 🙏

Carrot core extractor ahh

[storm jasper]

Oh, it's a carrot phloem... not what I thought at first

[steel umbra]

This one doesn't taste like carrot at all more like lettuce than a carrot core

[storm jasper]

Cool

[steel umbra]

I got scammed

[storm jasper]

I mean... you are the one who chooses your vegetables

So technically you scammed yourself

[mellow shadow]

isnt the core of a carrot called the xylem or something

[storm jasper]

It's actually both

😭

[mellow shadow]

odd

[storm jasper]

Hey guys... if flowers smell good but taste horrible how do we know that shit doesn't taste good?

[steel umbra]

You're right, i should've bitten into each carrot at the store so i'd know better

[strange atlas]

Um apparently waters got into my usb port and i put mouse into there my mouse came and gone now it doesnt open

any way i can fix this?

[storm jasper]

I'm just saying, there are other ways to check the quality

[worthy sage]

W or L?

[sly goblet]

hi guys I've just updated to window 24h2 but every time I watch videos on Chrome, it starts stuttering and lagging like crazy, I've tested on Opera and Edge and the problem still occurs. Can yall show me how to solve this, please

[storm jasper]

Buy a new one

[strange atlas]

i cant i'm in dept

[steel umbra]

For tomatoes smell 100%, for carrots it's hard

[strange atlas]

I have one old mouse but no way i can play games with it

[worthy sage]

Bro it's DEBT

Dept stands for department

[strange atlas]

yeah sure

[worthy sage]

Or deputy

[limber nacelle]

wouldn't use that one, base isn't flared enough

[strange atlas]

i mistake it with depth

[worthy sage]

W or L

[strange atlas]

in 2025 its L in my opinion

[worthy sage]

It's 200$ 😭💀

[eternal cloak]

Just check for cracks, slits and if they're firm it's not that hard lmao

[steel umbra]

Oh cracks sure

[storm jasper]

Don't the 40 series cards use GDDR6X?

[sly goblet]

can you help me with the problem im facing?

[worthy sage]

Ok

[eternal cloak]

It's a good price for a 4060, aye

[worthy sage]

I'll stick with a 3070

[eternal cloak]

No.
#1027757333117415424

[strange atlas]

i mean if you are gonna use it sure but dont get it just its good deal i dont think 4060 is good enough for this year

[steel umbra]

It was actually pretty good aside for the core

[eternal cloak]

Mate last year was a month ago, calm down

[storm jasper]

A measly 8GB of VRAM

Get a battlemage and end it

12 GB

[fallow yacht]

that should've been the msrp

[storm jasper]

🫦

[eternal cloak]

You need to stop eating the stupid cake

That's impossible solely because of inflation

[fallow yacht]

should've been

[storm jasper]

I feel like a $275 MSRP would be good

[eternal cloak]

That's why I also think game publishers raising the price to $100 for AAA games is 100% justifiable

[fallow yacht]

fine how about 250

[strange atlas]

HUUH are they actually going to do that

[fallow yacht]

nvidia prices their shit terribly

[eternal cloak]

We don't know yet, but it might start with GTA VI

When the $60 price tag became standard, people already paid $100 in todays money for video games

[steel umbra]

Gtx 1050-1050 ti $100-139 msrp, Rtx 4060 $299

[eternal cloak]

Yes, because you totally know better

[storm jasper]

We need more GPU manufacturers

[strange atlas]

I hope not man

[storm jasper]

AMD and NVIDIA are getting too lazy

[strange atlas]

I dont even like gta so if only 100$ hpapens to that game i'm okay with it

[storm jasper]

Intel is doing good, but its only in the budget sector

[eternal cloak]

Stop being stupid and comparing 50 tier and 60 tier

GTX 1050 was $110, which is a little over $160 today, the 3050 6GB can be had for roughly $170, MSRP being $190, that's not a big increase given inflation

[strange atlas]

I dont think there was a good gta game other than Gta San Andreas and GTA IV and its been years for those

[fallow yacht]

ok i checked and the msrp was 299

i thought it was 399

[steel umbra]

The 4060 is really a 50 class card... Even performance wise

the pcb looks like 50 class

[fallow yacht]

the ti is 399

[steel umbra]

the die is sized like a 50 class

[storm jasper]

We need a company called Graphision to emerge

[eternal cloak]

Nobody cares what you think
It's not a 50 tier card, you don't get to define the cards tier

[livid fern]

Just buy 5090

[eternal cloak]

I don't know what makes you think you can lmao

[strange atlas]

What is 50 class 👉 👈

[fallow yacht]

any gpu powerful enough to run on pcie without any additional psu cables

[eternal cloak]

GTX 1050, RTX 2050, RTX 3050, everything that ends with a 50 in the end, it defines the performance class for each card

[strange atlas]

Ooh bad ones

[steel umbra]

i mean, just look at the performance and the pcb it doesn't look like 60 class card compared to previous gens

[strange atlas]

Got it thanks

[fallow yacht]

nah it surely fits its purpose

[steel umbra]

the die is too...

[eternal cloak]

No not 'I mean', you don't get to define shit

If Nvidia says it's 60 tier, it's 60 tier, we can't do shit about it

[strange atlas]

What is the purpose of it? drawing less power or something

[fallow yacht]

...being pcie powered, please read my last statement

[eternal cloak]

Ye, 50 tier cards aren't particularly supposed to hit certain performance targets but power limits, that's why the initial 3050 was bad, apart from covid pricing

[fallow yacht]

the 3050 8gb is a weird exception

[strange atlas]

when it came out 1050ti was a good card though i gotta give it to it

[eternal cloak]

Not really, Ti-tier cards did sometimes go out of the supposed power limit

[strange atlas]

That was what i understood from it 😳 🐒

[clear oasis]

Hi

[fallow yacht]

well you'd be right it does consume less power compared to other cards

[eternal cloak]

Their main purpose is to do nothing but hit a 75w power target, the performance is rather secondary

[steel umbra]

Well, they just shifted the product stack, no 4050 dgpu was ever released

[fallow yacht]

on desktops*

[eternal cloak]

Irrelevant
The 3050 wasn't released until a good year later, the 3050 6GB wasn't released until years later

The 1630 wasn't released until years later

[strange atlas]

got it

[turbid shore]

Tried to mod my BIOS. Ended up frying my motherboard

[strange atlas]

i wonder if you could use 75W card in a 300W system if we use like 60W cpu

[steel umbra]

1630 was a greed attempt...

the pricing was unreasonable

[eternal cloak]

Who cares, it was released

[eternal cloak]

Its called covid mate

[eternal cloak]

And ironically, the 1630 so far was the highest increase in performance we got in the 2020s, well over doubling the performance over it's predecessor lmfao

[turbid shore]

No one told me about the 3.3v issue 😭

[eternal cloak]

Easily, sure

[strange atlas]

i havent heard of 1630 i wonder why nobody around me used it

[steel umbra]

It was priced worse than a 1050 ti from 2017

[turbid shore]

Shit fried my entire motherboard and now I've got to wait for a replacement

[steel umbra]

performed like a 1050 ti

[fallow yacht]

cuz they don't fit their use case

[fallow yacht]

again inflation exists

[steel umbra]

there are low power ti's too

[eternal cloak]

Again, covid
Nothing they could do about it
Stop arguing with price if you can't argue with price due to special global circumstances

[fallow yacht]

please use an inflation calculator ffs

[steel umbra]

It was release after the crisis no?

[eternal cloak]

Due to covid most people skipped it, the price got bumped quite a bit

[eternal cloak]

No

[fallow yacht]

covid officially ended mid 2023

in the US at least

[eternal cloak]

Released mid-2022, that's when it started to go down but wasn't anywhere near stopping kek

[steel umbra]

At launch a new 1650 was available at the same price as a new 1630

[strange atlas]

currently it sells at 203 dollar it still seemed a bit overpriced to me

[eternal cloak]

Irrelevant

[strange atlas]

if its 1050ti level*

[fallow yacht]

good, now compare 2019 prices with 2022 prices

go back to economics class in 9th grade

[brave brook]

WTF China at it again

the Chaatrey AN3P mini PC sports a removable plastic cover on top of its 11.6 x 10.33 cm case, inside which a picture can be inserted.

[steel umbra]

No, literally 1650 was available at the same time as a 1630 was at launch

[eternal cloak]

It's not, it's worse than a 1050 Ti

30 tier is a bit of a mixed bag entirely, originally it was reserved for display adapters like the GT 1030, which ended up being a great low-end alternative for competitive gamers, usually those cards hit like a 30w power target and that's it

[steel umbra]

not in 2019 but in mid-late 2022 as well

[fallow yacht]

an iphone x at release was actually expensive than the 16 pros lmao

[brave brook]

display adapters were x10 and x20

[eternal cloak]

So was 30

They were all in the GT-category

[strange atlas]

I have a vga monitor if i get his and connect hdmi to my graphics card will i be able to use it?

[fallow yacht]

atp replace your monitor if you can

[brave brook]

is it an active VGA adapter ? Then yes

[eternal cloak]

Logic is irrelevant here, buyers don't have it

People scraped all the cards they could and 1650s weren't available for cheap either

[strange atlas]

what is atp? and i have no chance of replacing it i cant do it without second monitor and i'm in debt right now

[fallow yacht]

oh right i remember

[eternal cloak]

atp = at this point

[strange atlas]

it doesnt say that

[brave brook]

link ?

[strange atlas]

got it

[fallow yacht]

vga to hdmi could work likely

[strange atlas]

its turkish

[fallow yacht]

i remember my sister using one on a random 4:3 monitor

[eternal cloak]

Whatever, Google translate will do

[brave brook]

still, give link. maybe we can find more info

[strange atlas]

only specs they give us

[steel umbra]

1650s were available in mid 2022 at the same price as 1630s when they were launched

[eternal cloak]

Yes, at $300+, guess why nobody bought them

[fallow yacht]

MB you meant used

[strange atlas]

i clicked on the cheapest

okay i can use it

[brave brook]

i suspect it is active, but not sure where it gets power from

[strange atlas]

in my old computer i was also using vga to dvi its so shit man

Even if you unplug your vga cable pc still thinks its connected

And always makes that monitor my main monitor

i hate it

[steel umbra]

$200 if i remember correctly

[eternal cloak]

No lmfao

They sold at minimum $250, their release price was $200

[steel umbra]

A little patience for a restock and you had it 1650s werent as unavailable

[storm jasper]

Hi

[steel umbra]

I was regularly checking gpu prices during the crisis

[strange atlas]

Its also 200 dollars here right now its not worth it

[eternal cloak]

People don't have patience
I don't know what you're trying to debate here, it's nonsensical

[steel umbra]

literally wait a day for a restock if you wanted a 1650, it wasn't that easy compared to rx 6000, rtx 30

[tardy inlet]

yo i can’t figure out how to open my pc case can someone help me real quick

[steel umbra]

Newegg had 1650s for $200'ish regularly

[storm jasper]

Pics

[eternal cloak]

I don't know what you're trying to debate here, it's nonsensical

[strange atlas]

i remember in the beginning of virus after plastics stocks or something ended 1660 supers were at like 4080-4090 price range it was so bad

[brave brook]

maybe in US it was like that. In Europe for huge chunk of the mining craze, there was literally nothing above GT710 available for months

[steel umbra]

Regularly restocked...

[upbeat osprey]

[eternal cloak]

It doesn't particularly matter if it was restocked regularly, it was gone within minutes anyway
I still don't know what you're trying to debate here

Again, it's nonsensical

[steel umbra]

It wasn't

[eternal cloak]

You're free to think what you want, it's wrong either way

[tardy inlet]

@storm jasper it has that screw that comes off but that’s the most it comes off

[storm jasper]

Unscrew the top panel and then get the glass out

[steel umbra]

the 1650 was an exception to the major gpu stocking issue as there was not that huge of a demand

[storm jasper]

Which case is that?

[tardy inlet]

ohhhh shit you slide the top pannel off it just worked for me

[storm jasper]

👍🏼

[steel umbra]

after early 2022 the prices started to calm down and you could actually buy some cards at retail

[storm jasper]

(Bro nearly broke his case)

[steel umbra]

2021 was when you couldn't even buy a 1650

not mid-late 2022

[tardy inlet]

do i slide the glass off now??

cuz my pc was making this noise and i have no clue how to fix it and that’s what im tryna do rn

it sounded like something stuck in a fan

[brave brook]

found an late 2020 picture of the whole lineup in stock from the biggest eshop in the region. This was the full list of "gaming GPUs" 😄

[latent ledge]

Well shit

[sacred valve]

😳

[latent ledge]

What do I do 😭

I don’t wanna reset this thing

Idek what happened

I just decided to do the offline windows antivirus scan thing just out of curiosity

And this happened

[eternal cloak]

Just have it repair then

[frosty cove]

Not bad, the 3090 is like 900 now used.

[latent ledge]

I tried :/

[eternal cloak]

Then have fun reinstalling windows

[steel umbra]

anyways point is it makes no sense 1650s were restocked at 1630 prices when it paunched

[latent ledge]

NOO

[tepid drum]

I currently have a R7 7800X3D and have come to own a R9 9700X. I want to sell one of them but I do not know which? Anyone have any advice?

[latent ledge]

Lemme try to boot into safe mode

[steel umbra]

it has to do less doing with inflation but rather poorly priced product

same goes for 4060, 4060 ti they could’ve been named differently and priced lower but that would hurt nvidia’s margins

people would still buy them

[storm jasper]

Ouch, that sounds expensive

[vivid phoenix]

https://itif.org/publications/2025/01/28/trump-s-proposed-tariffs-on-taiwanese-semiconductors-would-backfire/

[storm jasper]

Maybe move it away from your peripherals and then work on it

@tardy inlet

[eternal cloak]

Fuck off with that shit here, only leads to political arguments

[vivid phoenix]

Don't worry, prices will get even worse...

[eternal cloak]

(Which aren't allowed here)

[frail delta]

Peyton 4 Mod

Pretty political, I know

[eternal cloak]

Their fault they're not using the opportunity given kek

[latent ledge]

@eternal cloak it boots into safe mode

[eternal cloak]

Then get the files you want and reinstall windows

[latent ledge]

I just spent like 4 hours figuring out how to install my old Adobe cs6 programs 😭
Do I really have to do that

[eternal cloak]

Yes

If automatic repair isn't doing shit, it's not worth tinkering

[vivid phoenix]

Nope, it is to show that prices will go up. Not for political discussion. Also, not sure if your guck off is allowed mate 😄

[latent ledge]

Aww

[eternal cloak]

It sure is

It'd be filtered if it wasn't

[vivid phoenix]

In that case... Fuck off

[left dove]

the fact that I hardly have to say it and it's still repeated speaks volumes

[frail delta]

No fuck you

[vivid phoenix]

sure... mate

[left dove]

dont make it weird, my person

[vivid phoenix]

Can we talk Tech btw... My point was that prices for semi conductores will go up...

[frail delta]

Demo conductores....

[left dove]

yes we know that's how tariffs work

[frail delta]

Um

[left dove]

price go up because angry monkeys in suits

[vivid phoenix]

On my Phone, got autocorrect... German speaking^^

[sharp narwhal]

I want to sell my 4090 and get a 5090 but I'm also feeling way too lazy to actually do it

[shell arrow]

Hypothetically can smart glasses be made by just having a blutooth/wifi reciever connected to your phone or pc at home and then u like basically have 4090 (based on ur pc ig) preformance on just some smart glasses? Imagine the crazy shit that can be done

[left dove]

what

[sacred valve]

how much would you sell that 4090 for

[shell arrow]

Idk man i am bored

[sharp narwhal]

I dunno how much they're worth atm

[left dove]

how about don't and keep your already very nice gpu

[sharp narwhal]

I saw them selling for 1600 I think?

I need uhbr20 DSC is bad ok

[sacred valve]

mm

[left dove]

if I rolled my eyes any harder I'd be staring at my brain

[mellow shadow]

Honestly with the fans at full speed it isn’t that loud

[brave brook]

"in US" you forgot to add

[real lantern]

I'll probably be the first one banned in that scenario

anyway i just bought 2 120mm aliexpress fans

they look pretty nice

[steel umbra]

@eternal cloak https://web.archive.org/web/20220716123241/https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007709 601332298 from one capture about during that time when 1630 was released plus few weeks, out of two wb captures may and july there was one 1650 in stock

and that’s just newegg

at release the 1630 was literally priced the same as 1650 despite that card getting restocked, i wouldn’t blame just inflation

the 1030 was $79 at launch, 1630 $179? 5 years later

[strange atlas]

If i buy fans like this any chance i can plug them into my graphics card?

[gusty wagon]

yes, iono

[steel umbra]

4060 was released quite bit after the gpu crisis, at $299 and that was a rebranded 4050/ti with it’s performance, $109-139 to $299 is not 30% inflation

or even 60% if we account for additional things

saying it’s “inflation” despite it being nvidia’s doing too is a bit ignorant imo

[terse sorrel]

It’s coming along

[real lantern]

In my case my GTX 1070 actually has 2 4Pin ports, But most likely you'll just have to plug it in sys_fan#

[real lantern]

very nice

[elfin night]

4x16gb ram or 2x32gb?

[strange atlas]

thats a good idea man

thank you i dont want to pay too much for the graphics card fans but my current fans are so loud

[real lantern]

the only flex i have is this

[strange atlas]

like look at this its at %50

at the beginning its off and goes to 50

[elfin night]

go to msi afterburner and change fan control temp

[strange atlas]

and i havve my glass on this is shit

[real lantern]

if it's bothering you so much you can try to DIY cooling a gpu

[peak knot]

ddr4 or 5

[elfin night]

5

[strange atlas]

i did change it but apparently they used this card for mining 2 years straight without maintanence it got beaten up

[peak knot]

avoid 4 dimms as much as possible

[strange atlas]

Fans are so loud

[elfin night]

ahh

[peak knot]

i personally recommend 2x24gb

[elfin night]

i dont like computer numbers thats now 2^x

[strange atlas]

water cooling? nah i dont trust water in my pc

[elfin night]

so 2x32gb it is

[latent ledge]

@eternal cloak I was just wondering if you have any potential ideas of why this happened…

[real lantern]

i mean DIY an air-cooler

[strange atlas]

how do i do that

[peak knot]

2x24gb outperforms 2x32 unless your absolutely needing the extra 16gbs

[elfin night]

2x24 outperforms?? im gonna be running CL30 regardless with 6400mhz

[peak knot]

what platform am5

[elfin night]

9th gen

r7

[eternal cloak]

No clue

[strange atlas]

i even have the same bracket i can do that

[peak knot]

eh sure doesnt matter too much at those speeds

[real lantern]

nothing is stopping you.

[strange atlas]

not having fans does i will get fans first

[steel umbra]

@latent ledge do you have any important files on the pc?

if not then just do a fresh reinstall

[latent ledge]

Aw ;-;
Ty anyway

[real lantern]

I'd recommend you getting better fans than aliexpress ones cause they won't be more quiet than your original ones

[latent ledge]

I kept my personal files but reinstalled

[steel umbra]

which aliexpress fans

[real lantern]

most of them

or practically all of them

[steel umbra]

thermalrighty :<

[real lantern]

i saw a thermalright for 8 dollars it was a pretty nice deal, But I'm a cheapass

[steel umbra]

the not-noctua fan was actually solid

[rigid fjord]

grab some arctic p12 pwm pst's

[steel umbra]

it didn’t perform all that well but no audible bearing noises or pitched resonances

which should put bequiet into shame

[latent ledge]

The strangest thing was that it only happened once I did the offline malware scan thing… it was running fine before then

[steel umbra]

because their top end line sw 4 pro’s and hs have annoying resonances

and it’s funny a $1 does not do that

and arctic maxes as well

bq cheaped out imo on the fans and focused more on marketting with sw 4’s

[steel umbra]

yeah, strange stuff happens

[latent ledge]

I’m gonna do the exact same thing again and see if I can replicate it

If I can then I know it’s an issue with a program or something

[steel umbra]

my windows media flash drive generates windows keys when i do offline account without logging in

[latent ledge]

If not then it might have just been a weird thing

[steel umbra]

literally working retail keys

and i do not do that because it breaches tos heavily

[latent ledge]

Generates windows keys? ||sounds like profit||

[strange atlas]

damn 50 dollars is much more than i was expecting

[latent ledge]

Wild

[steel umbra]

yup, i have no idea how that works but it’s ????

how does that happen

[latent ledge]

very strange 🤔

[latent ledge]

no idea :/
could be useful tho

[peak knot]

i use a KVMs script on my test benches to activate them as i swap and redo the OSs so often for overclocking

[steel umbra]

also, it’s very easy to active a key that’s not yours

[latent ledge]

ah true

[steel umbra]

i’ve once put my win key wrongly and i accidentally actived a oem enterprise license

[latent ledge]

just typing random stuff right?

[peak knot]

no

[steel umbra]

that was not mine

[latent ledge]

Lol that’s crazy

[peak knot]

theres a rhyme and reason to the key format

i just miss the old win 98 key system

[latent ledge]

oh I didn’t know that :/

I thought it was just a set of random characters

[peak knot]

win 98 key system was simple the key was a string of numbers that was divisible by 7 and the result would be a prime number

[latent ledge]

wait that’s so easy to figure out tho

like if you just wanted a free key

[peak knot]

all 0s is a valid key yes

[rigid fjord]

all 1's also

[latent ledge]

Oh wait
All zeroes

[uncut thorn]

my itch smells like bacon. and its not itchy anymore. I just smell like bacon.

eated too much bacon

[latent ledge]

watch who your talking too buddy

[rigid fjord]

if i remember correctly, several win 95 keys worked on win 98, just like how you could use win7 keys for win10

[latent ledge]

“I will pull your organs through your nose”

[peak knot]

@uncut thorn id avoid making many post that dont contribute to the conversation or you will find yourself muted and eventually banned

@peak knot is your banner the thing where you use liquid nitrogen to cool a cpu for insanely high overclock speeds?

[latent ledge]

Yea
So wholesome

[rigid fjord]

ah fair, wasn't some xp keys also usable on win7 or am i rememberingsomething wrong there?

[peak knot]

yes, im a sponsored extreme overclocker on the USA OC team

[latent ledge]

whoa cool

[high elm]

will a 2x molex to 6 pin connected to a 2x 6 pin to 8 pin work lmao

my SP850 dosent have 3x 8 pins

[peak knot]

you could for a while upgrade from xp to 7

[high elm]

but it has a 12vhpwr cable wtf

[peak knot]

like how you could go from 7 to 10

and 10 to 11

[rigid fjord]

nope, not in this instance, don't the pcie cables have pigtails on them?

[high elm]

pigtails?

[peak knot]

if youve been somehow dilligent enough it is theoretically possible to have bought a single windows XP license and be using win 11 through the windows upgrade system

[rigid fjord]

kinda makes me wonder if i could directly use a win xp key on win10/11 tbf

[high elm]

yeah im trying to find a solution cuz i dont wanna spent $200 for another power supply

[peak knot]

you should upgrade your PSU then as if you dont have the pcie cable requirement it may not be rated high enough to power it

[peak knot]

not anymore

[rigid fjord]

sadge

[high elm]

its a SP850 its for some reason just lacking the cable

[peak knot]

when win 7 to 10 program came out microsoft sunset the xp to 7 program

so no more xp keys can be converted

and the stipulation to the xp to 7 was it was only good for a single activation

[rigid fjord]

if it has a pigtail on them, you can use that in the last spot tbf

[steel umbra]

contact lian li for a replacement

[high elm]

it came with 2x 8 pins

[steel umbra]

good 850w units start at $110

[high elm]

and a 12vhpwer

[steel umbra]

just straight 2x6+2?

[high elm]

yup

amazing right

[steel umbra]

no two 6+2 + 6+2?

[high elm]

• its a warranty replacement unit cuz my old sp850 blew up

[high elm]

nope

i was amazed too

ive found this power supply to be a handful though

blew up and took my Z790+13600 with it

[rigid fjord]

usa right?

[high elm]

Singapore

i just walked to a random warehouse and they gave me a replacement

wonderful warranty process

[quasi field]

im using a be quiet psu is that a good psu

[high elm]

wait no its even worse

its a 1x 2x6+2

[steel umbra]

missing some cables

[mint umbra]

I don't see why this deepseek think is so impressive didn't they steal data from other ai companies

[steel umbra]

even the cheapest out manufacturers include atleast two

with 850w units

[upbeat folio]

does anyone know what this means

[high elm]

seems so

fuck warranty again

eh another trip to the warehouse

[mint umbra]

Why is the ltt bag so expensive

[peak knot]

cause people will pay that much for it

[steel umbra]

which version of sp850 do you have? atx 3.0/3.1 or?

[livid fern]

Sp850 is f tier

V2.53

[high elm]

3.1 i think

[high elm]

yeah kinda regret it

[livid fern]

Even newer SP850 has problems

[high elm]

lmao mine caught fire

[steel umbra]

that was the issue on non fixed units yes

it was an actual issue

[livid fern]

the issue wasnt fixed tho

[steel umbra]

oh really?

[high elm]

bloody clownshow a fire

[livid fern]

unit completed all tests, but sustained significant damage along the way, leading to a high voltage ripple in subsequent runs. The second unit shut down and failed partway through testing under non-demanding conditions.
For newer SP850

[high elm]

psu killed my Z790 and 13600K

[livid fern]

noting that the marketing materials failed to specify which version of the ATX standard this power supply conforms to.
Kekw

[upbeat folio]

nevermind i fixed it

[high elm]

asus quoted me $130 for the motherboard repair

wtf bruh

[steel umbra]

L, deserves to be B/C tier at best

kinda sad, it did perform decently well from cybenetics

etc

[livid fern]

NGDP gold uses same platform

If i remember right

[steel umbra]

didn’t know that

[steel umbra]

iirc the edge uses ngdp

[high elm]

ok yeah i might just get a new psu

[steel umbra]

and sp850 is helly? or something like that

[peak knot]

be a chad buy only 1600W titanium PSUs

[livid fern]

Yes helly

[brave brook]

my worst PSUs are Tier B or not listed at all (due the age) 😄

[steel umbra]

helly yup both sp850 and edge

[brave brook]

(the worst one is Seasonic Core GC 500W) https://seasonic.com/core-gc/

[rigid fjord]

so it's a single 6+2 with a 6+2 pigtail?

[steel umbra]

GC is fine

[steel umbra]

he should’ve gotten two

[brave brook]

yeah, i just mean that is my "worst rated" PSU from the tier list

[steel umbra]

not even seasonic iirc lol

[brave brook]

the "not on the list" is the 550W version of this PSU (sadly Jonyguru review is no more) https://www.techpowerup.com/review/super-flower-sf-650p14pe/
Also super confusingly named - it is an 80Plus Platinum rated PSU which is named "Golden King" 😄

[digital sparrow]

just asking is this worth it its a little over 1000 bucks (im new to pcs)

[brave brook]

also has the weirdest modular power plug design ever

[steel umbra]

nop* b12 isn’t seasonic, core gx and gm are cutdown focus mb* (rember’d wrongly)

[steel umbra]

sf had good psus for the time

[brave brook]

every plug was interchangeable

[brave brook]

had ? still has

[steel umbra]

yes

[livid fern]

Corsair sf loud but has no competitors

[steel umbra]

but they used to be good before too, unlike some budget oem/odm manufacturers

[sand epoch]

chat is it better to have Google drive or one drive

[brave brook]

silverstone ?

[sand epoch]

i need something cloud related to save my pictures and stuff

[livid fern]

Perf wise noticable worse

[sand epoch]

anyone?

[brave brook]

get Office 365, get 1TB of Onedrive. Or Office 365 Family, get 6 user accounts, each 1TB Onedrive

[livid fern]

5.xx worse than 850w model and 8% worse than 1000w sf1000 3.1

[brave brook]

also you get Office 365 with it

or i think it is called Microsoft 365 now

[sand epoch]

if i crack it , will I be able to use cloud services

[steel umbra]

relative performance from hwbusters/tpu?

[sand epoch]

365 is so fucking expensive

[brave brook]

of course not. Cloud is not free LOL, it is literally a service you pay for

[sand epoch]

goddamn it

[brave brook]

you can't have massive cloud storage for free

[sand epoch]

wish i could pirate it like windows

[sand epoch]

true

[livid fern]

Hardware busters

[sand epoch]

I'll try to add my accs to public office 365 family accs

[brave brook]

ah yes, you want someone elses disk space for free /s

[hoary tree]

This happened from a 5 inch drop 😭

[sand epoch]

i had 365 for 2 months in that way

[brave brook]

the amount of times i dropped my A54 in a case... not a scratch

[steel umbra]

they’re made from brittly glass that’s why

[sand epoch]

iphone more ike icrack

[steel umbra]

on what surface did you drop it?

[upbeat folio]

its glass so yeah

[steel umbra]

if it was not uniform concrete then that’s not a surprise

if it broke on a carpet then that’s weird

[steel umbra]

companies wish they wouldn’t have to store your photos and instead just keep the money for no service

[hoary tree]

Floor

[rigid fjord]

that would happen from a 1 inch drop with some phones

[upbeat folio]

Why not use an usb instead?

[hoary tree]

Tile floor

[steel umbra]

which material

[rigid fjord]

a nas with nextcloud in a docker

[hoary tree]

Ceramic

[steel umbra]

oof

[hoary tree]

My brother has dropped his s20+ from chest height so many times and it's still flawless

[brave brook]

there is no free USB drive /s

[upbeat folio]

i dropped my phone and it started pressing pyschial buttons by itself

[strange sleet]

anyone know why fortnite gets fps drops only on kbm?

[high elm]

tf is kbm

[rigid fjord]

easy to break tbh, you'd want something a little more secure with better access

[rigid fjord]

this is not fortnite discord

[strange sleet]

i know that

its a tech thing no?

[upbeat folio]

no

[strange sleet]

well its to do with a game and performance

and perhaps you guys would have ideas on it

no need to be angry about it

[upbeat folio]

#gaming ask there idk

i dont know nothing im the one who asks for help

[strange sleet]

alr but i was thinking could it be because i turn faster so it has to load faster or something

and that makes it drop

[upbeat folio]

i dont even play fortnite

[rigid fjord]

not really, as it's specific to a single game, you don't ask in a general tech discord for a single game

[strange sleet]

i havent really tested other games because i dont have any ideas of what games to test

[upbeat folio]

turn on peformance mode or smth in the settings

[strange sleet]

ive never noticed it in other games thogh

yea i have it on and all that

[upbeat folio]

what gpu do you have

[strange sleet]

i have a good pc i get 240 fps but randomly on keyboard it drops

3090

[upbeat folio]

i dont know then

what cpu

[strange sleet]

10600k its kinda scuffed

[upbeat folio]

which? I3 I5 I7 I9 and all that

[strange sleet]

i5

[upbeat folio]

yeah i dont know your pc isnt a bottleneck and its good

[steel umbra]

intel celery

[upbeat folio]

ask someone else

[hoary tree]

This bug i found with the dynamic island is still there on the latest ios 18 lol

[high elm]

intel atom bomb inside

[forest narwhal]

switch to android

[fallow yacht]

it's a feature

[fallow yacht]

nah keep your bloatware ridden OS

[forest narwhal]

lmao conspiracy nut

[fallow yacht]

i was an android user mate

android has tons of bloatware you can't deny it

[forest narwhal]

yes I'm aware

apple phones are just glorified garbage

[high elm]

its personal preference whatever brand youre going with

[forest narwhal]

good thing android isn't a brand

[fallow yacht]

by what metric

[high elm]

correction operating system

[high elm]

pls no

[forest narwhal]

anything

[high elm]

for me i have an iphone 13 for daily use and a samsung note 10 to sideload

[forest narwhal]

nice msg

[high elm]

i rather use the iphone for texting and stuff but the sideloading feature on the note 10 is really nice 2 have

[fallow yacht]

aside from apple not having new features that are as useful as a height measuring contest

[fallow yacht]

move to europe then

[slim slate]

Would you rather buy a Kingston Fury Renegade 2TB or an WD Blue SN580 2TB? Any experiences?

[forest narwhal]

measuring ur height in iphones is a crazy idea

[forest narwhal]

what social media do u use

[fallow yacht]

that was a simile moron

[forest narwhal]

I figured

[fallow yacht]

whatevers cheaper

[high elm]

the usual ig tiktok , 小红书 ,discord

[slim slate]

They're equally crap?

[forest narwhal]

no imessage???

[fallow yacht]

wdym crap they're actually decent

[high elm]

i use whatsapp

or wechat or line

[forest narwhal]

😭

[rigid fjord]

nope, they're both decent ssd's, you just go for the cheapest of the 2

[high elm]

diff country diff standards ig

[forest narwhal]

yh most Americans ik would use imessage

[fallow yacht]

imessage is useless outside of the US

[high elm]

i can just pull out my qr code scanner to get a girls number so lmao

[rigid fjord]

tbf, it's barely useful in the uk

[forest narwhal]

never heard somebody doing this one

[fallow yacht]

nvm misinterpreted

[high elm]

its really common in the east asian country’s

[rigid fjord]

implying it's completely useless dude

[forest narwhal]

efficient ig

[fallow yacht]

exactly

[rigid fjord]

no your message you deleted, it does have some use in the uk, considering free as long as you have internet access

[high elm]

this is imessage right

[forest narwhal]

yeah

[high elm]

yeah i just get a bunch of scam texts on there

[rigid fjord]

looks like normal messages to me

[forest narwhal]

typical

[fallow yacht]

ye it is

[forest narwhal]

cause its messenger just apple

[fallow yacht]

imessage is in messages

[steel umbra]

the i is very important there

[forest narwhal]

whatsapp just better

[steel umbra]

it will determine the future of the earth

[forest narwhal]

imessage will NOT determine thr future 😭

[fallow yacht]

messages app has both SMS/RCS and imessage so saying the messages app is imessage is technically incorrect

[rigid fjord]

a reason i've signed up with tps in the uk, no scam calls/messages otherwise they'll get fined £5k a time

[fallow yacht]

we recently introduced sim registrations and so far i've never got a scam text yet

[forest narwhal]

well if u want to be a nerd abt it

[fallow yacht]

cuz the sims used for scams are deactivated now

[rigid fjord]

telephone preference service = tps btw

[rigid fjord]

noice

[steel umbra]

i stopped receiving scam calls since i trolled them

[fallow yacht]

i didn't even know sim registration is normal

[forest narwhal]

I just don't answer random calls so they stopped calling

[fallow yacht]

ours back then was just insert sim in and you're good

[high elm]

lmao ive gotten video called by a indian “policeman”

[rigid fjord]

was he calling you about insurance?

[forest narwhal]

probably in ikea

[junior valve]

@rigid fjord what are your thoughts on the silverstone st65f-es230? i found a new unit for 30$

[high elm]

he just asked me to show him my social security number

[forest narwhal]

rip

[rigid fjord]

considering this is a mix of different parts, it's ikea for sure

[high elm]

or to be precise my national registry identification card

[trim idol]

how hard did you laugh?

[forest narwhal]

maybe it exists in another color lol

[steel umbra]

one scammed called me about microsoft support and i asked him if my computer has virus, he said yes and i spent 15 minutes of his telling me the url via call since i intetionally typed wrong letters

[high elm]

i just told him to fuck off lmao 💀

then he was like “fuck you” then ended the call

clownshow

[rigid fjord]

no beuno dude, tier E

better off with an msi a650bn

[steel umbra]

aliexpress/thermaltake tier psu as i answered before

not recommended

[high elm]

lmao fucking idiot

[junior valve]

that cost like double the silverstone

[rigid fjord]

or an msi a650bn because cheap but decent psu
