So gen 2 with 16 lanes should be fine for several drives? How many do you think it can support?

Would that depend on the type of drive too, be it ssd or hdd?

[rigid fjord]

4-6 port sata expansion cards on an x1 needs gen 2 pcie slot minimum tbf

[rigid fjord]

i could do around 20 drives off of a x16 slot

[versed pecan]

Goodness

And thats at gen2?

[rigid fjord]

gen2 or higher

[versed pecan]

That is awesome. My new case will be made out of sata drives

my name is ech0 though

[graceful girder]

Hey I know ech0

That's u

[gloomy sleet]

is water meant to taste like plants

mine does idk

[gleaming rose]

callaway blue does (shit is ass)

[gloomy sleet]

i haven’t cleaned this bottle in 2 weeks

that may have been a cause

it’s a nice earthy grassy taste

[versed pecan]

I appreciate the help btw, rauko.

[gleaming rose]

you could've saved time by just posting the question first

[warm sage]

idc

[gleaming rose]

also that is in no way urgent

[warm sage]

my case fans stop spinning bro

[gleaming rose]

the outcome is not going to change if you troubleshoot it tomorrow morning

what brand pc/psu

[warm sage]

corsair cx750m

[gleaming rose]

and uhh would you mind reposting your question since it got deleted

[warm sage]

i'm unplugging useless cables to fit my new hdd

istg ik what is useful and isnt being used

all of a sudden the rgb on the fns went out and stoppped spinning

[south arrow]

[warm sage]

everything else is working

[gleaming rose]

yes because that is what happens when you work on a PC when it is still on

[south arrow]

The rgb header is not in then likely

[gleaming rose]

yeah probably just yanked something out

[south arrow]

Or it shorted if it was on possibly one of 2. But hopefully just needs re seeted

(I've seen lots of fans be plugged in live/hot though would be some luck to kill it)

[warm sage]

should i just turn it off and finish what i was doing then turn it back on to see if it works

[gleaming rose]

WHY WAS IT ON

[south arrow]

I'd turn it off, then flip the psu to off as well, then finish doing whatever you where doing. And re plug in the fan and rgb header yiss before turning back on the psu*

[gleaming rose]

what drove you to work on your computer while it was fucking on

[warm sage]

idk i'm insane

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/im-here-jigsaw-saw7-saw3d-coming-gif-21902171

[gleaming rose]

really facing the consequences of your actions there, i dont know what to say

[warm sage]

damn i really did unpluug the header on accident

should still work lmao

[south arrow]

It be like that sometimes

[frigid blade]

someone gimme Linus' number

Need to give him a call

[rigid fjord]

[frigid blade]

We need him to do a followup on his GPU partition video, the tech is good enough now for it to work well

[rigid fjord]

nope, but you can dial 911, and get yourself screwed over for nuisance calls

[frigid blade]

why would i call 911

[rigid fjord]

so you can get a waambulance

[tardy tulip]

so i mounted this rad up front in this case never designed to have a rad

and the glass panel on front was restricting airflow enough that by removing it my idle cpu temps went from 65 or so to 37

playing games the cpu was sitting at like 75 degrees so i wasnt super worried but now its chillin way lower

[cunning cloud]

my motherboard VGA light always stays red if i dont turn my monitor on, what does it mean and is it fine?

[gleaming rose]

yea its fine

if it aint broke dont fix it

[tardy tulip]

anyways google is offering GA to college students for free for 1 yr (+2tb cloud storage)

[warm sage]

i'm going insane

[gleaming rose]

ok

[warm sage]

i plugged the rgb headers back in and it is still doing it

Nice dude.

[tardy tulip]

Ok guys this is the strat
I turned the fan at the back of my case to intake
And put a cardboard divider to separate the air it sucks in from the hot air out of the gpu
It appears to have taken my gpu temps from 68-9° to 65°
Probably decently inconsiderable

Time to implement the diabolical fan tune

[lapis bay]

question. is 85c average during cinebench fine or not?

[gleaming rose]

yea

[lapis bay]

okay, I origijally felt like smth is wrong with either the thermal paste or the contact between aio and cpu

nvm then

[raw glen]

is there such thing as a fiber optic 20m thunderbolt 4/5 cable?

[clear canyon]

Its the same connector

[raw glen]

if i want to run a whole bunch of computers in my rack in a different room 20m away from my setup but want to be able to display them at my setup at 240hz at 4k how would i go about this? (without spending thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars)

[mystic fern]

my pc is shocking me and idk what can I do, it shocks me even if the psu is off and stops when I disconnect it from the power outlet

I don’t think it’s static because I can touch anything metallic and it won’t shock me

[frail delta]

This is not the monumental task you make it out to be...

[mystic fern]

any idea of what could I do to fix it?

[frail delta]

Your outlet is not grounded correctly. Contact an electrician

[clear canyon]

That's really bad, follow what toplime said

[frail delta]

Get them to check everything else while you've got them there

lol

If you're renting send the bill to your landlord

[mystic fern]

but it was just fine yesterday

[median shard]

Guys should I switch my secondary os from normal win10 to win10 enterprise ltsc 2021

[frail delta]

No

[mystic fern]

couldn’t it be anything else? or maybe the ground cable broke or melted

[median shard]

Why not the ltsc version is staying supported till 2027

[frail delta]

Best to get a professional to check :)

[terse canopy]

No. That’s illegal.

[frail delta]

You're (literally) playing with (the potential for a) fire here

[mystic fern]

alr

[median shard]

It's just a version of windows, you can download it from Microsoft

[raw glen]

cables at that length suck

[frail delta]

Get an active cable or an optical cable then

[formal sonnet]

While true, one must activate Windows using a purchased license from an authorized reseller.

[mystic fern]

should i try In a different outlet? @frail delta

[frail delta]

That's a great idea

[terse canopy]

The only way to use Enterprise legally is to enter into a licensing agreement with Microsoft. Is that really what you want to do… for a single OS?
Microsoft might even have a minimum number of Windows licenses to purchase.

[raw glen]

what about usb stuff though like getting the keyboard and mouse and other usb devices connected from the other room with out latency

[median shard]

Ahh that's the problem, well if hypothetically a licence is within my possession

[terse canopy]

It isn’t.

[frail delta]

An optical USB 4 cable

Beautiful braiding on this cable

Horrible, ugly connectors, but beautiful braiding

[plain cypress]

Wait who makes it

I have the Corning optical TB3 cable and it's quite nice

[frail delta]

This one isn't the length they need

But it's OWC

[plain cypress]

Damn

My Corning one is 50 meters

[frail delta]

You can get super long corning ones yeah

[plain cypress]

I do prefer theatre > theater

[frail delta]

But @raw glen is going to have to spend at least $1000

[plain cypress]

But otherwise er > re

Thunderbolt dock as a concept works great these days

[raw glen]

yeah im not tryna spend thousands

[frail delta]

It will be around $1000USD I'd say

Adjust you budget or adjust your expectations.

Or both

[raw glen]

i have 4 montiors that i need to link back to downstairs plus all the usb devices

[frail delta]

Lol then more then $1000USD

[raw glen]

ffs

i feel like theres got to be a better option then

if im already spending thousands surley theres a better option than running tones of cables

[frail delta]

Move the computers closer

[raw glen]

well the whole point is i want the computers to be in the server rack

[frail delta]

Adjust you budget or adjust your expectations.

Year of the Linux desktop?

[plain cypress]

Oh

That's a lot of monitors to use remotely

So he needs quad optical display port

[frail delta]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-mr-krabs-party-time-vibing-gif-4013740498000088447

[plain cypress]

Or 2 on optical display port and 2 on optical thunderbolt

[wheat field]

I use cinnamon on both my laptop and desktop. It sucks that you basically have to dual boot to play some games though

Hopefully they start letting linux users play fortnite

[frail delta]

If I actually end up using this I will likely have to have a Windows VM going 90% of the time

[wheat field]

Just dual boot

[frail delta]

No lol

I'm not rebooting whenever I need to open Excel lmao

[wheat field]

I have Kali, Cinnamon, win 11 and Arch on my main rig and Kali and cinnamon on my laptop. Although Kali is just a bootable USB for work stuff.

[plain cypress]

What do you think the better option would be? Just curious.

I think networked displays are kind of a thing but probably lacks reliability and definitely lacks bandwidth

[wheat field]

Ah ya, in that case just VM

[frail delta]

Much much much more expensive than cables

[wheat field]

Or run a compat layer

[frail delta]

Unless I can find a decent RDP client for Linux, then I'd be using RDS

[plain cypress]

DP daisy chaining might help but I assume they already have the monitors and I assume they didn't purchase monitors that support DP daisy chain for this purpose

[wheat field]

Just run the cables tbh.

[frail delta]

@plain cypress This is only 4K@30 and is only the reciever

[plain cypress]

No idea if it would work but in theory you could get 4 displays from a single thunderbolt cable that has 2 DP on the hub which are connected to 2 sets of daisy chained monitors

[wheat field]

All the other solutions cost more money and time than they're worth

[wheat field]

You could, ya.

[spring latch]

r/techsupport subreddit is dumb i explicitely stated im not booting windows 7 and the mods removed it cuz "We do not support windows 7" like MF read my post

[wheat field]

They don't support windows 7 dude.

[frail delta]

What are you trying to boot

[plain cypress]

But at that point....just run dedicated cables

[wheat field]

Ding ding ding lol

[plain cypress]

This is truly a first world problem

[frail delta]

Running 8 cables is essentially the same effort as running one

[wheat field]

It is hilarious to read.

[plain cypress]

However in theory daisy chaining does work

In practice who the fuck knows

[wheat field]

Eight cables isn't even that bad.

[spring latch]

generally any legacy OS on UEFI, im looking for something like UEFISeven but not explicitely for windows 7, just any OS that really needs them INT10h calls

[wheat field]

I mean it works in practice it's just...why?

[frail delta]

Use an older system, problem solved

[plain cypress]

With 2 sets of daisy chained connected to a thunderbolt hub over optical thunderbolt?

[frail delta]

If you want to use an ancient OS, use ancient hardware

[spring latch]

i do not HAVE an older system, and for some dumb reason my celeron j4125 has CSM greyed out

[wheat field]

Generally booting legacy OS's you need older hardware. Should be able to get that older hardware for dirt though.

[plain cypress]

Thunderbolt is an easy way to get USB tho

[wheat field]

Take 50 bucks and go buy one

[plain cypress]

What does Linus use

[wheat field]

Something we can't afford

[spring latch]

i do not have 50$, it would help if acer would let me enable CSM

[plain cypress]

Optical USB 3 cables?

[wheat field]

Honestly you can get old ass hardware for free sometimes

[frail delta]

Icron docks

[wheat field]

I dunno twas a joke

[frail delta]

They're like $3000 per pair

[spring latch]

maybe the reason CSM is broken is because i might have secure boot on i better check

[plain cypress]

Oh it's USB over Ethernet?

[frail delta]

And don't do video

[wheat field]

So I was right lmao.

[frail delta]

Yeah

[wheat field]

Linus also probably doesn't set up his stuff alone. It's easy to set up elaborate tech when you have man power and money.

[plain cypress]

I wonder if he has any runs over 50m
He miiight

[formal sonnet]

Was gonna say... you can't use CSM / Legacy Boot if Secure Boot is enabled. Hopefully Acer didn't lock things down so that you can't change it after disabling Secure Boot... or you can't disable Secure Boot at all.

[frail delta]

Well, no

[spring latch]

ye im gonna check that

[wheat field]

Probably not.

[frail delta]

USB over cat5e/6/a

Not ethernet :p

[plain cypress]

I still stand by the thunderbolt solution

[wheat field]

My cat is complaining.

[plain cypress]

But doesn't help for 4 monitors

[solar moat]

nomral

[wheat field]

It's honestly not a bad shout. I'd just use cables

[spring latch]

why did some HDMI cables say they had ethernet support

alr secure boot is off and tpm is off wtf

[plain cypress]

It's an easy way to get USB and displays with little cable management

[formal sonnet]

https://www.customht.com.au/blogs/ht-hifi/what-is-hdmi-with-ethernet-how-does-it-work

[plain cypress]

The optical thunderbolt works best if running through walls/conduit isn't an option

[wheat field]

A feature that lets them up prices that literally nobody has a use case for.

[wheat field]

I agree man.

[plain cypress]

Every HDMI Ethernet cable I've purchased has been like $5

[wheat field]

I don't think I've ever paid for a HDMI cable

More than 0 is overpriced

[frail delta]

Such a pleb.

Okay, but does this cable prevent Digital Leak? 🤔

[plain cypress]

Or you need longer ones

Or you want a much shorter one

[spring latch]

shit i just remembered acer uses an impossible to remove the battery socket

[frail delta]

No you need an HDMI silencer for that, silly!

It just doesn't work nowadays at effectively censoring information.

Good idea. Much cheaper than buying this cable. Though the reviews are tempting...

I recently spoke to a geek squad member about upgrading my current television cables, I could not be happier. I own a 1951 Zenith Walton 17" in mahogany, for years i have struggled with the awful picture quality and it was time for an upgrade. I spoke with George at the River Ridge Best Buy and he was able to give me the best bang for my buck. I purchased this and 6 other adapters for my television and its was worth it without a doubt. My Zenith is still in black and white despite the HDMI upgrade but it plays all of my saved Richard Nixon video beautifully. Thank you Best Buy for your great customer service and George for all of your help. If I have anyone ask about this beautiful picture quality I will definitely be referring them to you guys.

[devout oxide]

Like my router?

[limpid kernel]

DNS is like lupus in House, it's always the cause.

[gusty wagon]

No, the DNS

[frigid blade]

Clear your DNS

[devout oxide]

How

[frigid blade]

Google it idk

[devout oxide]

Fair

[spring latch]

no, the DNS is pretty much a way to not send your ip traffic to the site your visiting iirc

your isp still sees it ofc

[devout oxide]

So my router

[limpid kernel]

Yeah, which is why it's always the problem.

[spring latch]

no, DNS is configured on the computer

[devout oxide]

What

I don’t have that set up

[frigid blade]

Oh my God

[devout oxide]

The 192.168.1.237?

[frigid blade]

Bro

[devout oxide]

Bro

[spring latch]

DHCP automaticlly sets up your DNS

[whole garden]

bro

[devout oxide]

I’m sorry I’m not a network nerd

[frigid blade]

You don’t have to be network nerd

[spring latch]

no thats your local ip (not the one the websites see)

[devout oxide]

I know that

[frigid blade]

Then why’d you ask if that was the DNS

[devout oxide]

This is stupid

[spring latch]

nah this person trolling now

[devout oxide]

I don’t understand dns stuff lmao

[frigid blade]

Now google that error

And keep going, until it fixes

Basic troubleshooting

[devout oxide]

I am

[frigid blade]

Good

[devout oxide]

Dw, but it’s still dumb

[spring latch]

their either tolling, ragebaiting or both

[devout oxide]

I am not

I’m sorry I’m stupid and haven’t looked into dns stuff

I ran a vps once but that’s about it

[frigid blade]

I feel like VPS is more advanced knowledge than DNS

._.

[gusty wagon]

Not really if you're running an already packaged thing

Like tailscale

[devout oxide]

Wdym digital ocean easy

[frigid blade]

DNS is also automatically configured

[devout oxide]

Connecting ns to the domain was a bit complicated

But nothing insane like having to know advanced dns shit

[gusty wagon]

ns is dns tho?

[frigid blade]

I don’t like domain provider UI, I just use cloudflare

[rotund mirage]

dumb question would bad battery in the tablet of HP split 13x2 make touch not work with inux mint

or the cracked screen

[devout oxide]

Copy and pasted every command on the site

I’m nuking my os for fun

[devout oxide]

You don’t need an understanding

Just how to copy and paste stuff

[frigid blade]

Bra

[devout oxide]

Bra I’m not typing
Ns.digitalicean.whatever

Every time copy and paste so much easier

Either way I’m just gonna set up true nas tommorw

Hopefully it’s not to fat

The best I can do in terminal is use vim

[frail delta]

I am now part of the problem :(

[lapis bay]

question. is it better to keep an aio's pump running at 100% (or at a consistent speed all the time) or have it curve? i figured out the best curve for temps, but I don't necessarily care too much for nice temps if i can make the pump last longer with a 5c diff

[haughty gazelle]

guys should i get i7 14th gen or any amd equivalent, i was initially going for i9 14900k but it's slightly overbudget

[devout oxide]

Crude

[devout oxide]

Neither buy and

9950x3d

[lapis bay]

wdym?

[devout oxide]

Curve

[lapis bay]

k

[devout oxide]

My bad besides pump 100% all the time would be loud unnecessary

[haughty gazelle]

that's like $100 over the budget again

more actually

[devout oxide]

7800x3d

That’s asking a lot

[haughty gazelle]

i can go for that but is it good productivity wise ?

[lapis bay]

some ppl say run it at 100% is perfectly fine (as long as it's not an audible problem)

[gusty wagon]

ssiere

[haughty gazelle]

rendering stuff and all that

[devout oxide]

Yea but like why

[left dove]

cute and comfy

[devout oxide]

Oh productivity? Intels probably better

But even then

Amds upgrade path might be more worth it

U don’t need a 10 core cpu wtf

[lapis bay]

idk

[devout oxide]

Streaming in 10k

God damn bruh

[lapis bay]

i don't care to run it at a 100, just whatever keeps the temps happy and the pump happy

[devout oxide]

NOT THAT HEAVY damn

[devout oxide]

Just curve it lmao

[lapis bay]

already done

it was what i was doing originally, then i was like

[devout oxide]

I have a 7700x and it runs obs fine and playing a game

[lapis bay]

can't you set obs encoder to gpu?

[devout oxide]

It’s only like 8 cores? I wanna say

[lapis bay]

it is, i have the same cpu

[devout oxide]

Ye but I was just doing it for a hand cam for a friend so I wasn’t bouta do that

[haughty gazelle]

yeah, i was really going for the i9 14900k but apparently the b760 mobo cant handle the processor and im already like 600$ over the budget

[lapis bay]

no, that's more than fair

[devout oxide]

Yes 😭 especially if it’s a dedicated pc

Maybe if ur running fucking 16k stream u need 10 fores

[devout oxide]

What’s the budget

Are epyc cpus in the budget?

Wait that might be a server pc I might be dumb

Idk

[haughty gazelle]

my budget was around 1300-1400 ish, the current config im looking at is 2.1k usd

[devout oxide]

For what exactly?

[haughty gazelle]

i can go upto like 1800$,3D rendering for the most part

productivity

[devout oxide]

Isn’t that heavy on the cpu?

More so than the cpu?

Why not buy like a 5080 or 3090 then buy the 400$ 7700x kit at micro center

[haughty gazelle]

it is more gpu intensive yes, but CPU does play a role, also I don't have plans to upgrade for atleast 5-6 years or so

[gusty wagon]

Prosthetics

[devout oxide]

So why not spend more on the gpu

[haughty gazelle]

i dont live in the US

[devout oxide]

Oh

Then I can’t help you

[haughty gazelle]

Damn

well i was going for a 4070s with 12 gigs of VRAM

[devout oxide]

I only know the us economy wverywhere else is different and this apply double rn

[devout oxide]

🤮

[haughty gazelle]

yeah cause of the tariffs

[devout oxide]

That’s cursed

14900k and 4070s?

[haughty gazelle]

is it that bad 😥

[devout oxide]

No

No 🤦‍♀️

They got fixed

[haughty gazelle]

the first batches, it was fixed

oh im so confused, all the prices jacked up 5-10% cause of the tariffs and stuff

yeah

even the luxury brands jacking up their already jacked up prices humanity is dead

[lilac walrus]

Is it possible to plug in an hdd while the pc is still on?

[frigid blade]

It’s the Bay Barbor Booger

https://tenor.com/view/dexter-dexter-morgan-bay-harbor-butcher-it's-over-dexter-meme-gif-7815920268234567353

[devout oxide]

There are hot swap nas

[wheat field]

What does that have to do with communism

[frigid blade]

Chayna

[wheat field]

Ya, if anyone can actually tell me what the current economic system in china is we'll have a fun time

[frigid blade]

https://tenor.com/view/bookio-gif-13932157847762104386

I know the housing market system, they sell homes to people before they are even built

[wheat field]

It's state capitalism and it's not even close to being communist. There's literally no where with communist economic policies work in the modern day.

No.

No they didn't

[frigid blade]

I wasnt saying china is communist, lol

[wheat field]

I know, I was just telling you what it is.

[frigid blade]

I know everyone thinks americans arent taught anything outside of the US, but my school did 🤣

[wheat field]

The whole point of China's current economic situation is to eventually achieve communism through a sustainable foundation, whether or not that's actually going to happen is anyone's guess but they definitely haven't abandoned communism as a concept to control.

[frigid blade]

I hate that stereotype because its so true even though it isnt

[wheat field]

I think pretty much everyone I speak to is incredibly ignorant as to how China operates or how Chinese politics works.

[frigid blade]

The issue isnt that it isnt taught, its that no one pays attention anymore

[wheat field]

Including Chinese people

[frigid blade]

Im not suprised, the country is huge and its not that simple

[wicked spruce]

communism is the only viable option for china

[frigid blade]

if it was theyd be communist

[wheat field]

Not really

You're an idiot

[wheat field]

Yup

[frigid blade]

I couldnt even imagine the logistics behind countries with a billion population

[grizzled frost]

China’s public infrastructure is crazy

you can get almost anywhere with public transit

[wicked spruce]

nice argument

[wicked spruce]

nice argument^2

[grizzled frost]

Not at the same scale

[wheat field]

China is currently rapidly progressing and can do so because government projects proceed quickly since there's no questions, it just happens. China's biggest issue is that they have first world cities surrounded by a third world country.

You're right in saying that the older workers are about to exit the work force and there's not enough young people to replace them but they're already bracing from this. There's a reason belt road stuff is becoming popular and a bigger reason visa policies are becoming more lenient for foreigners to visit.

China is going to end up like America 20 years ago, not like Japan because they'll open the flood gates.

[grizzled frost]

China is massive distance wise

[wheat field]

I don't engage with incredibly stupid takes

[wheat field]

It's fucking huge.

[grizzled frost]

Comparable to the US, but with vastly better public infrastructure

[wheat field]

Not everywhere, yet.

[grizzled frost]

True

Mostly just the east coast

though that’s where a vast majority of their population is, so it makes sense

[wheat field]

China is going to end up with a massive immigration influx due to the availability of labour and cheap cost of living in the next decade or so. It's hard for foreigners who haven't lived here to grasp this but if you can read the tea leaves it's pretty obvious that they're pushing to make China international which is a hilarious turn around

[wicked spruce]

im in texas and there is virtually 0 public transit

[wheat field]

That's America outside of New York from what I saw

[grizzled frost]

there’s a handful of cities with pretty good infrastructure, but that’s the exception not the norm

[frigid blade]

Chicago area has OK public transport

[wicked spruce]

imagine if i could hop on a train from houston to las vegas tho

[grizzled frost]

Public transit is entirely not an option for like 99% of the US

you can

[wicked spruce]

no

[grizzled frost]

it’s just slow and expensive

[wicked spruce]

not 1 train

[wheat field]

It's not designed for you to buy a house. Comparably it's dirt cheap to rent and buy an apartment in comparison

I just bought an apartment here in Shanghai

[frigid blade]

Yah there will always be 1 transfer for that

[wheat field]

"why does the country with a billion people not have available houses in good areas" because that was never the plan. The plan is for people to buy and live in apartments

[grizzled frost]

So stereotypical and so wrong

[wheat field]

Building codes are incredibly strict nowadays and the corruption that led to that stuff got literally purged from the country by the current admin.

[frigid blade]

Tbf that stereotype started for a reason... im sure its much better now

[wheat field]

It started back when companies could bribe an officer to look the other way. Nowadays that guy who took the bribe loses his head.

[grizzled frost]

It’s a harmful stereotype to continue perpetuating regardless

[wheat field]

It's hilariously wrong

[wicked spruce]

got proven wrong and resorts to racism, nice

[wheat field]

Not anymore, not even close. In tier 1 cities they don't allow it anymore, in poorer areas they're cracking down heavily on unregulated housing.

[grizzled frost]

pretty similar things can be said about US housing

[wheat field]

I literally live here and my wife's dad works construction

[grizzled frost]

“us houses are made of toothpicks and drywall”

[wicked spruce]

u should see new texas construction

unironically made of reinforced cardboard

[frigid blade]

Serious question, what happens to all the buildings that were built during that time tho? Did they demolish/abandon them? Or let them stand

[wheat field]

Old people live in them and refuse to leave so they let them. But they're not allowing people to buy there, just rent and they'll let you know it's a shit shack. Good if you're struggling. When all the home owners die off or their 100 year leases end they'll tear them down

I live on the west bund in a gated community so I'm a bit of a pampered Laowai. But I've been around the block here enough to know how it works

[wicked spruce]

are you ethnically chinese?

^ and if not do u know the language? and if not how is it navigating life

[wheat field]

No, I'm Irish, wife is Chinese.

[wheat field]

I speak mandarin and attend university here part time while working for a European country

[wicked spruce]

hmm

[wheat field]

Company*

I'll post my sockets I guess

Right outside my complex. This is the west bund

[wicked spruce]

nice

[wheat field]

👍🏻 a few people here know I live here lmao

[wicked spruce]

i wonder why theres a large amount of chinese immigrants to the US

[wheat field]

Work, schools are better.

My dude you are really angry I live in china

[wicked spruce]

free country lol

free to get deported if youre a legal citizen and speak against the government

[wheat field]

Here's my Irish cat in China

<@&750150305383186585> this guy is a racist

[frigid blade]

@wheat field do you ever get looks?

[wheat field]

Ya, I'm tall and white. You're basically a rockstar outside of central Shanghai and Beijing

But nobody is really racist here. Most people, including old people, just wanna talk to you and love hearing that you live there

1. Same goes for a lot of countries

And

2. Never said it wasn't

[frigid blade]

Thats what I thought, its only the 1% that get posted being racist and get views and it changes how people think of it

[wicked spruce]

wow "multiple spies" what an astronomical metric

looks like china is the only country that has spies in the world

racist idiot

[frigid blade]

he said legal

[wheat field]

Meh, I've had two bad experiences and both times they were people that locals think are weirdos

[whole garden]

[frigid blade]

You watch too many movies, in this digital age majority of spying is over the internet

[wheat field]

Probably, I'm not a member of the CCP nor do I have any interest in it.

I moved here for work and for my masters, mostly because I got stationed here with a previous job and liked the people and culture.

This edging into heavy political territory and this is tech chat. I have no issues with it but the mods do so we can move to pub or stop

[frigid blade]

Are you a new mod? This place is never on topic

[wheat field]

This is...very off topic

[wicked spruce]

china clears US, conversation over

[sullen obsidian]

new? the very very opposite

[frigid blade]

Was a joke :p

[sullen obsidian]

literally 3rd person in the server lol

[wheat field]

Can you stop

[wicked spruce]

ban this dude already...

racist + offtopic + misinformation

[wheat field]

Dude is lost in the sauce

I'm so tired but I can't sleep

[wicked spruce]

u called china a shithole but ok

[azure topaz]

explode

[frigid blade]

shithole is a racist term?

[wheat field]

I think we just need to...stop

Bossy is obviously ill equipped for the conversation and this isn't really the place anywhosie

[sullen obsidian]

tried to subtely say drop the subject

[wicked spruce]

if only there was a button that disabled people from talking for a certain period of time

[wheat field]

@sullen obsidian do you own that psyduck?

[swift moss]

i might just restart the render wtf is this

cpu rendering so ass lol

[wheat field]

Lmao

[swift moss]

4k

[wheat field]

How long was the initial ETA

[swift moss]

i wanted to use cpu for the path tracing

[swift moss]

theres no eta's, 3 hours is how long its been rendering

[wheat field]

Hahahahahhaa

That's even better

[swift moss]

29 frames in 3 hours

[wheat field]

What CPU

[frigid blade]

not bad

[swift moss]

13600k

if you want you can view it

1 frame is 26 MB 💀

[wheat field]

😂😂😂

This is why I love this server

[frigid blade]

how many cores does that have? 12?

[swift moss]

frame 28

[swift moss]

yes, here are my settings

[frigid blade]

120 frames, is that 2 seconds?

[swift moss]

no, 24fps

[wheat field]

14

[frigid blade]

so 5 seconds

[swift moss]

yes

i can change the framerate but usually i render for 24

[frigid blade]

you need a GPU

[swift moss]

i have to concat them in ffmpeg anyways

[wheat field]

Why are you doing this exactly?

[swift moss]

i have one, there is XPU rendering but its mostly cpu, just like 10% gpu usage KEK

[swift moss]

i need smoke for my blender render

i could realistically render IN blender

which would be better because cycles, but i'd need to export alembic, which isnt really an issue

[wheat field]

But why are you rendering with the CPU?

[swift moss]

usually a little more realistic, undersetimated the 4k times, usually i render 1080p

this is a FOREGROUND FOREGROUND object, right in your eyes as the camera pans

[wheat field]

fair enough. It's an i5-13600k?

[swift moss]

yes

[wheat field]

It has 14 cores, not twelve

How hot is it getting and how much power is it demanding

That's what I wanna know. Hungry little sucker under load

[frigid blade]

I was close enough

[wheat field]

I was just curious as to why he confirmed that. I could be wrong, working off the noggin here

[swift moss]

around 100c, its thermal throttling

[wheat field]

Lmfao that's hilarious

[swift moss]

ill send hwinfo in a bit ill brb

[wheat field]

Thank you sir

[swift moss]

i use nhd15 btw 😭

[wheat field]

😂 you're living life on the edge

It does what? 20 threads?

Pretty sure it can pull up to 200 watts

[frigid blade]

How come intel P cores arent hyperthreaded?

er no, its the E cores?

[wheat field]

E cores aren't hyper threaded

[frigid blade]

and none are hyper threaded on the new gen

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/racist-meme-gif-27514290

[frigid blade]

erm

[wheat field]

Security reasons I'd assume

Meltdown, spectre

[frigid blade]

sounds like a skill issue

[wheat field]

Hyper threading is usually disabled in enterprise stuff anyways

They're focusing on single core performance and maximizing e cores

[warped quiver]

Is 650 W for a RX 6700XT with i5 12400F overkill?

Should I stick to 550W

[mellow cairn]

Anything 850W or under is reasonable for a gaming desktop

[warped quiver]

Im trying to not overspend on my gpu

Someone recommend me a 550W psu, yet my local PC technician said 600 is the minimum

[frigid blade]

6700XT has 230 TDP and 12400F has 65 TDP

[mellow cairn]

That's mainly because of availablity and cost .. "overkill" doesn't really matter when you're talking about $10

[cinder spindle]

oh meta this not how you work an app

[mellow cairn]

Also power supplies often outlive several rebuilds.

[latent pasture]

the concept of streaming pc is dead

use ur gpus video processor to stream with nearly no performance effect
thats like, the entire reason they exist

so ppl dont have to either crush their cpu or need an entire new pc

[mellow cairn]

Absolutely not

A streaming PC gives you far better control of everything

As well as protection from crashes

You do not have to have one, but they are not dead at all.

[wheat field]

Not even close

[swift moss]

"xpu rendering"

its using like 90% cpu lol

[wheat field]

HahHHHH

[frigid blade]

That’s not that much usage tho

I thought rendering tried to use as many resources as possible

[crisp silo]

hey guys, ran into an issue, was gaming, then i crashed, once i booted backup, my resolution is crap really bad, my device manager detects my gpu, but it is not appearing in task manager's performance task

[swift moss]

maxing my pc out rn

[swift moss]

not always

[wheat field]

It'll tick up and down

[wheat field]

DDU and reinstall drivers

[crisp silo]

works

ty

[wheat field]

👍🏻 no problem king

[hushed shale]

is there an issue with a 8g + 4g ram setup

if both sticks are the same speed

if yes , what are the issues and are they certain

[wheat field]

Different brands? Mismatched ram kits cause instability and there's no guarantee it'll work

You're better off just buying a kit

[agile stag]

you can mismatch ram

just expect to run it at slower speeds just in case

and then just note it mentally since its not unheard of that it can cause issues but ive personally never had any and ive mismatched a fair amount of ram(except ddr5 and probably ddr and older)

[gilded imp]

It kind of is the luck of the draw

It definitely can cause issues

Or it can be perfectly fine

[wheat field]

You can, but it's a gamble and it can cause issues.

[gilded imp]

Ram issues are so annoying too, I’d usually just avoid the chance at all costs

[rigid fjord]

you should know by now, subtlety never works dude

[gilded imp]

Oh that’s the person that said that I must like shareholders and public companies because I’m Jewish

Bossy is lol

He did a racism again? 💀

[wheat field]

Let's not spark it again lol. It was just weird

[gilded imp]

Yeah fair

[rigid fjord]

while a gpu = tgp, the tdp of a cpu don't matter, it can use more power than it's tdp

[wheat field]

It's 2 pm and I'm finished for the day and I'm wondering if I should take a nap

[rigid fjord]

always take a nap, it's worth it

[wheat field]

I've just been working and sleeping so I don't want to but I get tired very easily nowadays.

[rigid fjord]

tbh, long work hours can do it to you

[wheat field]

Gonna clock 55 this week brudda

At least the money is good

Feel bad for the wife because she gets home and I'm asleep or exhausted

Oh well, she bought me a new smart watch

[rigid fjord]

honestly do not overwork yourself

it can lead to burning out quickly

work vs life balance is essential

[wheat field]

Hopefully I'll start my own thing soon but right now I'm a code jockey on life support 😀

[wheat field]

Aye but money is nice

[rigid fjord]

fair enough, but no amount of money is worth your own health

[wheat field]

True.

[frosty prism]

been a week and a half with my new pc, worth every penny

[wheat field]

Nice dude, specs?

[frosty prism]

i5 14600kf and a 5070, before you go after me amd is non existent in my country

[rigid fjord]

to quote something i've said in the past

[wheat field]

Nah man I don't mind. Nice build, enjoy it.

[wheat field]

It's true man but I'm also unfortunately trying to save up to start a family soon

Babies are expensive

[frosty prism]

got to invest in more fans and maybe a new aio probably

[frosty prism]

how old are you if you dont mind me asking

[wheat field]

23

Sorry, I'm 24

Not 23

[rigid fjord]

for sure

[wheat field]

Hahahaha that was a scary brain fart

[rigid fjord]

when you hit 30 or so you stop counting

[wheat field]

Nice

[wheat field]

I remember feeling like it was over at 22 post uni and then I changed careers and basically my entire life

Life's just sadge

It's happy but sadge

I try not to become self aware for too long lol

[limpid dune]

bro I already stopped counting and I'm hardly over 20 😭

[rigid fjord]

i'm 40, i stopped counting over 20 years ago

[sinful cobalt]

damn ur twice my age

[rigid fjord]

many people are

[sinful cobalt]

i know

[limpid dune]

the real question is "what was the big software trend when you were born"

[sinful cobalt]

good question, idk 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[limpid dune]

I've always said "AMD64" but maybe windows XP too

(not really a software thing ig)

[dusky crest]

Windows 7 was like a year old

[limpid dune]

damn I remember that, W7 felt really fresh

[dusky crest]

Windows Vista was good, it just came out way too early

[limpid dune]

I remember attempting to mod minecraft as a kid, using nothing but the search dog 🗣️

[dusky crest]

Lmfao

[wheat field]

When I was born? Frutiger Aero

[rigid fjord]

i wouldn't call it a trend but i know of sage's early days, windows's early days, several versions of dos

[mellow cairn]

The introduction of the IBM PC was revolutionising the industry

[limpid dune]

I have a Commodore Amiga that's double my age 🗣️

[thin plover]

not software but the wii and the ps3

[limpid dune]

clock speed: yup

[dusky crest]

My mom is a few months older than windows lol

[wheat field]

I'm surprised no 2000s kids mentioned Frutiger Aero

[thin plover]

facebook became open to the public when I was born

[wheat field]

Very distinct web design style from that time

[limpid dune]

my granddad worked on the first digital computer in canada 🗣️ so whenever I have to explain something to him I just need to rephrase it as mainframe parts lmao

SSD? it's like tapes

[limpid dune]

OH GOD yup

[thin plover]

I've never heard of frutiger aero

[limpid dune]

I liked Cathode Ray Dude talking about the times before PC modding actually had dedicated parts... like, if you wanted a windowed case, you had to take a beige case and then spraypaint it black and then cut a hole in the side and put some acrylic there

dark times indeed

[limpid dune]

something the whippersnappers will never understand

[wheat field]

You've seen it

[thin plover]

maybe, don't remember/recognise it

[mellow cairn]

Haha, rounded IDE cables were crazy!

[wheat field]

It was back before consumer tech was a solved problem. Everyone was trying weird and wacky things.

Nowadays everything looks more or less the same

[fair delta]

chat uh thoughts on going from a 3060 to a prospective 7900 GRE as a cyberpunk 2077 fiend

[limpid dune]

oh boy

[thin plover]

it was prevalent in the 2000's and the early 2010's, I was a kid playing outside at that time

[wheat field]

👍🏻 sounds ok but I'd just get a 9070xt

[wheat field]

So was it. I was literally 0 during 2000

[fair delta]

prices are a little high for me, even as a great deal

[limpid dune]

oh yeah? well I was on the family pentium III while you were doing normal kid things 🔥

[fair delta]

im australian so for me a 7900 GRE is around 850 AUD

whilst the other is 1.4k

[limpid dune]

I've never met someone that didn't know what IBM was ||unless this is high-quality satire idk||

[thin plover]

oh you mean the year not the decade

[limpid dune]

not the. not the poop stuff, the computer company

[wheat field]

Yes

[thin plover]

wow gen beta is being born this year

[rigid fjord]

basically something no kid gets to do nowadays

[rigid fjord]

he's to young to even know

[thin plover]

I was just born at the right (last) time to still have a healthy inside outside balance

[kindred halo]

Not an excuse unless you're ~<12

[rigid fjord]

when you realise there's people that's around 20 and have no idea what a floppy drive is

[kindred halo]

Huh

H u h ?????

20 years ago was 2005

Floppy drives / disks were still used in some capacity

Weren't they?

[swift thorn]

I still don't know the difference between a floppy disk and a floppy diskette. are they the same? different? similar?

[kindred halo]

Quite a few still do

Did you know that tape storage is still used?

It's by far the cheapest & most safe physical way of keeping data -- apparently

But not safe from my hungry ass

Crucial(®) government files? Nah, full course meal

[gilded imp]

It’s coming back

Actively too

[kindred halo]

Yeah I know

It's quite literally perfect for safe storage

[cursive storm]

please help....

[kindred halo]

15TB of LTO-7 is 55 USD

HP too, so it's atleast reliable enough to keep

[kindred halo]

Microorganisms under a microscope, crushed nuts, TV static

[gilded imp]

IBM showed off tape that does 201GB/in^2

Which is… really weird to think of data per inch but

Data by the foot

[cursive storm]

accidentially downloaded a trojan tho i was very quick to spot it and get rid of it but im left with these errors..

[kindred halo]

Data per km²

[rigid fjord]

it tells you there, also #1027757333117415424

[cursive storm]

mb

[gilded imp]

No

Probably not

[kindred halo]

If you're not a government official, probably not

[rigid fjord]

they where yes, still there are people who don't know of them

[rigid fjord]

what do you think disk is short for?

[kindred halo]

If you have important data you need to archive, like if you're working in a lab and need to document results to keep for history, sure

[gilded imp]

I wouldn’t be surprised if LTT gets a tape archive eventually

[kindred halo]

That's funny tbh

[gilded imp]

It’s so cheap they could have a full cold backup for like a few thousand bucks

[kindred halo]

Less ergonomic to use

[gilded imp]

Tape has to be read sequentially

[swift moss]

im getting amazing frames here

[kindred halo]

I put who & are together and warship didn't see the apostrophe

[kindred halo]

I remember playing with the moving part in floppy disks (the metal one that moves back and forth, not the disk itself) when I was a kid, so seeing people who are 1.5-2x my age not even knowing about them is both funny and disappointing </3

I don't think so, probably too fragile

[gilded imp]

Wym

Like different reels of tape?

[kindred halo]

Might be unable to even be read in that format

[mellow cairn]

Lol. Ok guy

[frail delta]

2026 is the year of the floppy disk!

[mellow cairn]

"tape is coming back" says guy not even remotely involved in storage or system admin industry

[kindred halo]

Said people who need to use it are okay with the sequential reading

Because it's for cold dump archives

[gilded imp]

Ywah

[kindred halo]

Anything that needs immediate reading is probably on an SLC SATA/NVME/HDD

[gilded imp]

You hear that DOGE transitioned a bunch of tape archives to digital for cost savings lol

“Department of Government Efficiency proudly proclaimed that the General Services Administration has converted 14,000 magnetic tapes of archival data to digital records.”

[plush wren]

[gilded imp]

Saved a whole

1 million per year

💀

[harsh whale]

4070 Ti or 9070?

[mellow cairn]

Doge are useless pointless idiots, news at 11.

[abstract wigeon]

what if we had a frame gen that would turn itself off and on by different amount so instead of doubling frames or whatever it just guarantees a constant 60 or 120 fps?

[gilded imp]

I think a tape archive would be a super cool thing to have but from what I’ve seen all the cost is in the readers

Seen em go for upwards of 30k

[mellow cairn]

And the storage and the transport and the handling

[true stirrup]

4070 Ti is faster

[harsh whale]

You wanting half a frame to be displayed?

[harsh whale]

Really? It’s cheaper than the 9070 for me

[abstract wigeon]

?

[true stirrup]

Good for you

[harsh whale]

You said by different amounts. What do you exactly mean by that?

[abstract wigeon]

like if in one area the framerate is low it ramps up framegen, then turns it off in areas where its easier to run

[sinful cobalt]

both are pretty neck and neck but 9070 has 4gb vram more

[abstract wigeon]

2x, 3x, 4x

[plush wren]

[harsh whale]

What about RT performance? That’s what I mostly care about.

[harsh whale]

Sounds good tbh.

[sinful cobalt]

the nvidia gpu should barely come out on top in that area

[abstract wigeon]

9070/xt isnt bad for RT, check benchmarks for your games

[sinful cobalt]

This gen the 9070XT and 5070Ti in RT are quite close, not 1:1 close but still pretty close

[harsh whale]

Alrighty. Isn’t the 4070S and Ti basically the same thing?

[true stirrup]

Not really
The 4070ti is much faster than the 9070

[sinful cobalt]

Ti is slightly more powerful.

[harsh whale]

Alrighty! Thank you very much.

[sinful cobalt]

I say neck and neck bcs it also depends on the title, but generally you can classify them as the same

[mellow cairn]

You can achieve massive density and completely online storage very affordably.

[sinful cobalt]

On techpowerup the 9070 is 6% faster

[frail delta]

Nitro is what, $10/month?

A whole new meaning to online storage

[gilded imp]

500mb upload limit isn’t enough

They should have a higher tier 😭

[frail delta]

That's the whole point of this though, it splits files up lmao

[mellow cairn]

.... "Chunk splitting"

[rigid fjord]

not in the same way you can stack 1+tb capacity hdd's into a single case

[plush wren]

thats lame

[gilded imp]

Interesting..

[frail delta]

I wish you could react to reactions

[plush wren]

[gilded imp]

I assume that’s gotta be against TOS though huh?

[mellow cairn]

Yes, obviously

[rigid fjord]

well $5 if you're going for the classic one

[frail delta]

Multiple Discord accounts in RAID 1

:p

Only idiots

[plush wren]

Ok

[frail delta]

Absolute suckers

[gilded imp]

The bottom 10%

[plush wren]

[true stirrup]

Yes but I'm pretty sure that doesn't include raytracing which is important to that person

[junior valve]

people who had bought it

[wicked spruce]

the same platform that will ban you with no reason and theres nothing you can do about it btw

[sinful cobalt]

I literally said the nvidia counterpart still comes out on top

[wicked spruce]

yeah lemme just host all of my stuff on here

[plush wren]

real

you might want to delete that message in dms btw
