The absolutely hilarious thing is that the ban won't remove your files

[frail delta]

This is already a solved problem

[gilded imp]

If a server violates the rules they use to perma ban every single person in the server

But I think they stopped doing that

[plush wren]

[gilded imp]

Even if you’ve never even done or said anything in the server before

[mellow cairn]

You are thinking logically

[wicked spruce]

im broke

[frail delta]

This person definitely understands the joke

Pretend that you're the sort of idiot that thinks tape storage is coming back

I’m glad you don’t have to pretend to be an idiot

We can see the results here actually

Where is the 5700X3D?

[junior valve]

[wicked spruce]

I think I see it in that side

just look at the 5800x3d and remove like ~5%

[harsh whale]

Should I just go with whatever platform is cheaper?

[plush wren]

so you plan never to upgrade your pc again

pretty sure it should end up costing around the same

[harsh whale]

Probably, but if were to I would just buy everything new

[kindred halo]

@thorn pewter @rigid fjord Might be able to score an 8700, ASUS Prime board, and 8GB of DDR4 for 110 today

[plush wren]

with 7600 you also get ddr5

[kindred halo]

This leaves me with about 50-70ish for a GPU, which is either going to be an RX580 Sapphire for 65, or an OEM one for 40

[junior valve]

gtx 980ti

[tidal geyser]

Ain't hex the really dumb guy with a massive budget that only wants looks not performance

[swift moss]

solid frames

[harsh whale]

Try and hassle a 6600

[kindred halo]

Too expensive

[junior valve]

frames per hour

[swift moss]

yes lol

[kindred halo]

I am just trying to get something that's cheap but not dogshit

[harsh whale]

Your Arabic, you got them talking down skills

[junior valve]

thats still faster than a gt710 on cyperpunk

[kindred halo]

And the 580/1060 are the most at that

[swift moss]

haha

[junior valve]

why not a 980ti

its 60$

[kindred halo]

My negotiation skills are;
Send bogusly low offer to seller
He replies with something lower than listed
I get a middle-ground price, usually 20-30 lower than asking
Yippee

I can't negotiate well, but, this works

The guy selling the board & its stuff had it at 130, I managed to pull down to 110

[harsh whale]

I lowball them to the ground, and when they get up it’s the price I wanted

[junior valve]

i usually just 1/2 the price and see what the seller says

[kindred halo]

Initial offer was 90

[junior valve]

10$ pc

[kindred halo]

I am a bit scared of pissing people off / annoying them so I just say something that's atleast "reasonably" too little

Which one

[junior valve]

what r they gonna do?

[kindred halo]

If it's a Hi-Point I am going to shoot you with 1.5k worth of 5.7x28mm

[harsh whale]

If it’s 90 I would go 40 tbh and we will meet at 50

[kindred halo]

Nothing, I just don't want to annoy people

[kindred halo]

That's mostly it, yeah

[junior valve]

i just 1/2 the price and thats how u got a full 5700x build for 280$ without the gpu

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

[junior valve]

whats tne worst that can happen anyways

[plush wren]

why the fuck is there a bike on a highway bro

[junior valve]

ask the biker

[thin plover]

better road quality

[plush wren]

well not a highway but idk what its called on english

Hi people

[plush wren]

Hello cats

[harsh whale]

Should I get CL34 with 6800MHz? Its the cheapest RAM I can get.

[random gyro]

AirPods Pro Max Ultra 6G

[true stirrup]

What CPU?

And is that really cheaper than 6000MT/s cl30 or cl36?

[mellow cairn]

6000 cl30 will be way faster.

[harsh whale]

7600 with a GIGABYTE B650

[harsh whale]

Yes cheaper by a lot.

[harsh whale]

It has the same CAS latency.

[true stirrup]

You will have to downclock that ram to 6000MT/s or 6400MT/s then

[harsh whale]

It’s still good tho. Right?

[true stirrup]

If you want to put in some time making sure downclocking it is stable sure

By how much cheaper is it actually?

[harsh whale]

2000 EGP

[true stirrup]

Oh yeah that's quite a bit

[harsh whale]

I will take 10.6ns instead of 10ns

[true stirrup]

All you should really look at is the speed and latencies
6800MT/s cl34 should be Hynix either way so downclocking/overclocking should be pretty easy

[harsh whale]

It’s KLEVV Crass I believe

Nah, it’s KLEVV Bolt

[cursive storm]

how do i know if a trojan is actually gone? all my AVs such as malwarebytes and superantispyware dont detect anything anymore and my pc is faster than what it was when i first installed the trojan

[wicked spruce]

reinstall windows if u want to be completely sure

[cursive storm]

is that the only way

bc i dont wanna lose all my stuff bro

[wicked spruce]

u dont have to

i mean u should be fine, but it is the most definitive

[mellow cairn]

Why did you install a trojan

[graceful girder]

@elder quarry so i had an idea
What I just buy a graphics card, install it in the most trash tier pc which i already have and go from there

[cursive storm]

bc im stupid

it was an accident lol

[harsh whale]

If your Pc is running faster then it’s removed.

[elder quarry]

Specs?

[cursive storm]

tho i was very quick to realise and get onto it straight away

[harsh whale]

Also check Task Scheduler for any suspect schedules, I had a virus once and it had like 4 backups there

[elder quarry]

Didn’t you switch to Linux recently

[cursive storm]

how?

[cursive storm]

not yet

[graceful girder]

16GB DDR3, Intel core i5 8th gen, 1tb hdd

[cursive storm]

oh wait im stupid

[graceful girder]

I can just add an ssd

[harsh whale]

Search up “Task Scheduler” in the windows thingy

[elder quarry]

Yeah that’s not a trash pc, it’s good

[harsh whale]

For 10$?

[elder quarry]

Upgrade to ssd and slap in a GPU

[graceful girder]

So good idea?

awesome one problem tho

[cursive storm]

dont see anything sus

[harsh whale]

Send a photo

[graceful girder]

i already have it

[harsh whale]

Alright it’s good

[graceful girder]

it's like 15 years old

[elder quarry]

So?

[cursive storm]

why do people even make trojans

[graceful girder]

idk, might need a new cooler and thermal paste is basically gone, guess ill just add more

[harsh whale]

You should be good for now, but don’t be stupid again

[graceful girder]

don't cpu's like melt over time

[graceful girder]

also scan anything u download with virustotal

or just use linux

[elder quarry]

newer intel cpus have had issues with degradation

[cursive storm]

when i first downloaded it i got bsod 💀

[graceful girder]

so it shouldn't be a problem?

[elder quarry]

no, but changing thermal paste would help if you're having issues with temps

[graceful girder]

which one, blue or black

[cursive storm]

blue

[graceful girder]

definitely am

[cursive storm]

does it take years for thermal paste to melt

[harsh whale]

Tf did you download. With my 7 years of pirating games I have never encountered such wizardry

[elder quarry]

melt?

[graceful girder]

awesome, it still exists

i wanna install mint but still no usb

[elder quarry]

kernel panic on linux

[elder quarry]

they cost like 2 bucks

[graceful girder]

never seen it tbh, only blue screens on windows

[elder quarry]

ye

[cursive storm]

it was supposed to be a patch for a game, i was stupid and downloaded it bc it looked legit

[graceful girder]

i don't want one with like 8 gigs

at least 64

[harsh whale]

Tf kind of patch is you downloading from google? Does the game not have a launcher?

[elder quarry]

128G ones cost 10 bucks here

[graceful girder]

double that here

[cursive storm]

it does but since mine was a cracked version i had to do it that way

[graceful girder]

not bad tbh

[graceful girder]

what game were u trynna launch?

[harsh whale]

If a new update releases just redownload the game. Smh

[cursive storm]

cant.

well i can but it wouldnt patch

[harsh whale]

Why not? Just delete the old one and download the new one

[cursive storm]

its hard to explain

[harsh whale]

You can’t find the newer version cracked?

[cursive storm]

no

[graceful girder]

then try

[cursive storm]

um.... i aint good at that

[elder quarry]

7 years? for a month ago you asked us in #linux how you did it

[graceful girder]

ur not good at trying?

[cursive storm]

no

[harsh whale]

What?

[graceful girder]

just try bro

[harsh whale]

I think you got the wrong person

[cursive storm]

ok....

yes

[elder quarry]

prob /shrug

[graceful girder]

why update it?

[cursive storm]

thats what cracked means

[elder quarry]

no

[cursive storm]

and bc its a patch to fix bugs

[graceful girder]

was there something in the update u really wanted?

[harsh whale]

Yea. Why update it?

[cursive storm]

and certain mods needed the patch to work properly

[elder quarry]

cracked means removing paywalls/limits/giving licenses of a software

[graceful girder]

why not just redownload the game

u wanted to keep your save file in tact?

[cursive storm]

bc it will take me back to square 1

[harsh whale]

Then copy the important information.

[graceful girder]

then just copy paste ur save file

[cursive storm]

and its all good now i patched it

[cursive storm]

it still wouldnt patch

[graceful girder]

over complicated it for no reason frfr

[cursive storm]

trust me i tried

[graceful girder]

u wouldn't need it to that way

[elder quarry]

what patch was it again, andwhat game

[cursive storm]

sims 3

[frigid blade]

sims 3

[cursive storm]

yes.

[graceful girder]

nah bro wasted his time

[harsh whale]

I’ve never had that problem with pirated games. Ever in my life. Everytime i redownload it all gets transferred.

[frigid blade]

bro i just died cuz of u

[cursive storm]

oh

[elder quarry]

sims 4 is free

[cursive storm]

how long does it take for thermal paste to melt, ive had my pc for i think abt a year now and i need to know when to change it

[graceful girder]

cuz it's all packaged in already, if u wanna transfer the save urself it's not exactly difficult

[graceful girder]

she wants to play sims 3 im guessing

[cursive storm]

she*

[random gyro]

every few years, it should be fine for now

[cursive storm]

im a maam not a sir

[random gyro]

TP lasts a while longer than just a year in most cases

[graceful girder]

noted

[harsh whale]

No, most game saves are saved in documents/appdata. only some games dont do that but the save file location is known.

[graceful girder]

forgive me for my assumption

[cursive storm]

forgiven

[graceful girder]

thing is it might create a new folder for that, also it depends on the game but yea ur correct

[random gyro]

once you start getting higher temps than normal in CPU then you know it’s time to change

[graceful girder]

most the time it shouldn't really matter

[frigid blade]

This is so confusing, Sims 4 is free, you wanna play Sims 3, your bio says Sims 2

[random gyro]

or every 2-3 years is good

[elder quarry]

affirmative, sir!

[harsh whale]

DLCs are worth like 100s of $ right?

[cursive storm]

i know this isnt tech related but is it just me or does this look like shit

[graceful girder]

🤣

[elder quarry]

fr

[frigid blade]

Not if you pirate

Dont do that tho

[random gyro]

don’t discus piracy here

[harsh whale]

Yea because pirating is bad

[graceful girder]

i think ill need a new power supply

[cursive storm]

yes pirating is naughty

[elder quarry]

we are allowed to discuss pirating The discussion of piracy/torrenting is allowed on a broad scale, but specific discussion of DRM circumvention is not allowed.

[cursive storm]

that means im naughty cuz i pirate

[harsh whale]

Pirating will put you in the naughty corner.

[cursive storm]

anyways

[graceful girder]

Piwacy is bad uwu

[random gyro]

oh so you can’t tell people how to

mb

[elder quarry]

yeah

[cursive storm]

yes they have to learn it themselves

[random gyro]

it’s not that hard lmao

remember when i said i was playing rain world

[random gyro]

is usb 3 fine for an egpu? i know usb 2 sucks ass

[elder quarry]

I have the money for it

[graceful girder]

played it a bit, loved it, bought it

[frail topaz]

3.2 would be better

[elder quarry]

no

[random gyro]

i think i have 3.2

[harsh whale]

What’s stopping you from buying it?

[random gyro]

whatever the zeyphrus g15 has

[graceful girder]

well now im a proud owner

of a license

[random gyro]

it’s a 2021 laptop so it should have USB 3.2 right

[elder quarry]

have other games to play ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frigid blade]

Also the ads, people fall for those a lot which are usually malicious

[elder quarry]

I've been saving the metro 2033 redux replay to the lan in a few weeks

[graceful girder]

imagine getting ads, cringe frfr

[random gyro]

imagine having internet for ads

[harsh whale]

Dont pirate if you’re dumb. It’s easy

[graceful girder]

hm, interesting idea tbh

[random gyro]

is 56kbps too slow for modern gaming uwu

[frigid blade]

The majority of the world is dumb though

[harsh whale]

I literally seen a pirating website say “Dont be stupid the download is in this page dont click on scam links”

[random gyro]

literally on any website that tells you to download files it WILL have fake download ads

[elder quarry]

if I recall correctly, you aren't always the smartest and can't do your own research or just asking

[random gyro]

literally covering the page

[timber wigeon]

i dnt understand how people fall for the fake links and stuff

[random gyro]

1. no adblocker 2. stupid teens 3. they let a chrome site send notifications

[frigid blade]

Thats a lot of data though, its like transferring a file saying "stupid penguin" 3,823 times inside it every second

[harsh whale]

Bro I’ve had a laptop for 5 years and before that I was on a PS4. I didn’t know Jack about PCs

[elder quarry]

gogle

[random gyro]

that’s not bad tbf

google loads in like 5 seconds

games are so big now though

[harsh whale]

I was just asking for advice then bro 😭

[random gyro]

it’s crazy why can’t i just get disks for them

[graceful girder]

even aliexpress hates me

[frail topaz]

and storage is super cheap

[frigid blade]

thats the real math btw, 57,344 Bytes / 15 Bytes ("stupid penguin") = 3,822.93

[timber wigeon]

when i was 8 i accidentally clicked show notifications on some cracked site and i thought i had a virus

“Hot singles in your area”

[random gyro]

and my wi-fi is ass

[random gyro]

LOL

[elder quarry]

why are you on ali for a gpu

[frail topaz]

how ass

[random gyro]

haven’t we all done that though lol

[raven sluice]

I don't know, fake download links are getting pretty legit-looking lately. And some w@re5 websites use fake download links-styled buttons to show the real link

[random gyro]

56 kbps download, 30kbps upload

[frail topaz]

what the fuck are you on dial up

[random gyro]

maybe

[graceful girder]

true, only good for cpu's

[raven sluice]

my internet on a good day

[timber wigeon]

its pretty easy to tell mate

[harsh whale]

My shitty ass internet is better than that

[harsh whale]

Not the websites I use.

[frigid blade]

bro

[raven sluice]

I know, but it's been getting harder

[random gyro]

look in the bright side at least it’s not 300 baud

[graceful girder]

wtf did u expect

[frail topaz]

this is like almost the bare minimum here in albania

[graceful girder]

the server isn't 18+

[frail topaz]

Warshipped

[random gyro]

i dream of that

[harsh whale]

Mine is 30Mbps 😭

[elder quarry]

what did he say

[graceful girder]

i get a smooth 20 sometimes

[harsh whale]

And thats average 😭

[raven sluice]

he has NASA internet

[frail topaz]

actually has my isp done it that is an old ss

[elder quarry]

and why?

[frigid blade]

when I was younger, i had an android where its easier to install adware, i was trying to install cracked apps and installed some kind of adware that each time the phone turned on it would display explicit ads and we couldnt get rid of it

[harsh whale]

I’m going with the 7600

[graceful girder]

talking about ads with it

[random gyro]

LOL

i could only imagine the horror

[elder quarry]

that's just sad ):

[timber wigeon]

here in bulgaria you get 1000mb download and similar upload for sub 20 dollars

[frigid blade]

yah, i remember my moms face when she first saw it on accident, lol

[graceful girder]

sounds funny

[elder quarry]

@timber wigeon reinstallation

[graceful girder]

i miss nitro

[frigid blade]

modded client = no pay

but dont do that

[timber wigeon]

discord are a heinous company

[elder quarry]

you're on thin ice

[timber wigeon]

Dont give them ur money

[random gyro]

should i reinstall windows? i have 1tb space but half of it is occupied by random crap i don’t use

[elder quarry]

install linux

[timber wigeon]

put your important stuff on a seperate drive then wipe the main one

[graceful girder]

see something report something is a rule innit

[harsh whale]

Here it’s 30$ per month (like 40% of the minimum wage) and get 100Mbps and it’s also limited data of 600GB and for each upgrade of 100GB it’s 4$

[timber wigeon]

my cloudflare rule has blocked arch users from my website

[frail topaz]

YO

[random gyro]

HOLY

[frigid blade]

I need to upgrade my NIC

[graceful girder]

1st world frfr

[timber wigeon]

gonna test my uncles internet later its crazy fast

[frail topaz]

we're talking about albania here right

[random gyro]

it takes me 18 hours to download. windows ISO, this guy can do it in 5 seconds…..

[frigid blade]

Oh my lord

I lose 300Mbps because of the coax

[graceful girder]

ain't no way, impressive

do u live in a city?

[elder quarry]

MegaBit

[random gyro]

tbf my dial up is pretty smooth

[frigid blade]

We have like a good distance worth of coax to get to my room from where the ISPs cable comes in, and it loses a bunch of speed because of that

[random gyro]

it rarely phases out

[elder quarry]

125MBps

[frail topaz]

do the math
5gb w11 iso -> ~5000mb
download speed is 100mb/s
5000 / 100 = 500 sec = ~8m

[graceful girder]

I've actually never tested internet speed, who do i use for that?

[frigid blade]

I cant wait for ATT

[elder quarry]

who

[frigid blade]

2Gig up and down

[frail topaz]

https://speedtest.net or https://fast.com

[random gyro]

it is not 8 minutes trust

wait

[frigid blade]

From the microsoft website the download is quite fast

[graceful girder]

wassup with embeds lately

[frigid blade]

i think its slower using the media creation tool

[random gyro]

sorry my thingy cut out

[frail topaz]

we remove them manually to not clog the chat

if i didnt remove them it would look like this https://speedtest.net or https://fast.com

[random gyro]

do people just not compress their embeds

[frigid blade]

if you add <> around links, it wont embed

[elder quarry]

ah yes a whitespace element

[frail topaz]

that too

[random gyro]

tinyurl anyone?

[graceful girder]

how do u do that

[frigid blade]

do what

[frail topaz]

do what

[graceful girder]

not bad

[frail topaz]

OUF 2 UPLOAD

[frigid blade]

https://speedtest.net/

[graceful girder]

LEAVE ME ALONE

[frail topaz]

idk how people dont use 1:1

[elder quarry]

Megabit per second

[random gyro]

how is there such a difference in uploads 😭🙏🙏

[frail topaz]

i cant handle my upload being slower than my download

[frigid blade]

Because some people have xfinity and they dont do 1:1

[elder quarry]

.25 MB/s

[frail topaz]

xfinity is ass

[graceful girder]

my service provider has horrible upload

[frail topaz]

and i dont even use them

[frigid blade]

I cant either, we actually pay for 2.5Gbps down because I needed higher upload

[random gyro]

tell me about it

[random gyro]

Hate to break it to you but 0ms ping would imply that the response time is faster than the speed of light which we know is not possible so I don't use stop talking shit and go find something better to do with your time

[frail delta]

I love how you think I'm lying lmao

[graceful girder]

there's a difference between 0ms and true 0ms

[halcyon beacon]

It's almost like decimals are rounded up

[frail delta]

Speedtest.net just doesn't show anything below 1ms on web or image sharing

[random gyro]

it is possible, he probably has 0.8 ms or it’s incorrectly saying 1-2ms

[elder quarry]

you can't really round down to 0

[random gyro]

if somehow someone has 0.1ms that’s the theoretical closest right

[halcyon beacon]

Nuh

[elder quarry]

no

[frail delta]

They're not called stupid penguin for no reason

[halcyon beacon]

That's just milliseconds, if at .1ms you'd start calculating in nanoseconds =p

[graceful girder]

true but that depends on exactly how they do it

[random gyro]

oh idk i get 6000ms anyway

[random gyro]

Hey! Sorry im new here

Im very hesitant in buying a 5090 astral, because of the melting problem

Can i avoid the melting problem by :

1. using OEM cable (oem of psu or graphics card?)
2. undrtvolting
3. cable stuck in good, no bending etc ( no user error)

Thanks for the help! Its a lot of money and i dont wanna waste anything

[random gyro]

?

cird

[frail delta]

This combination of adapters is the best way to avoid any melting

[elder quarry]

Option 3, you don’t need astral btw

[random gyro]

i’d personally just not use any card that is known for melting

[latent pasture]

the melting problem is partly because of the pcie standard of how the gpu and cable are made
so all of them are susceptible by default

[random gyro]

is the 9070 out yet?

[latent pasture]

like weeks ago bruh

[random gyro]

i don’t keep up mb

[random gyro]

Is this oem ?

why dosent he get a 9070

[random gyro]

I wanna play high shaders on minecraft

[latent pasture]

they have good moeny to buy 5090
why buy a gpu thats like 50% worse

[random gyro]

fair enough

[latent pasture]

ok now thats stupid
minecraft with shaders are piss easy to run

[random gyro]

On 140 fps ?

Im a sucker for fps lol

[random gyro]

your better off with a 4070ti for that

[latent pasture]

my laptop vega igpu with an 11 watt cap
can run shaders on 20 render distance at 30-40fps

[random gyro]

probably even a 3060 will do

[latent pasture]

wavy water, reflections, bloom godrays etc

[random gyro]

I saw some 5080 tests on shaders , were mostly on high 100 fps

[random gyro]

even my pentium could run it on 10 fps lol

[random gyro]

did they have extreme settings on

you don’t need extreme for shaders

[latent pasture]

u can get easier to run shaders
some shaders are hard to run but like provide 0.1% more detail than one that gets high fps

[random gyro]

high will do if you use Comp Unbound

[random gyro]

I think just high

[latent pasture]

wow gee, the shadow has 1000000 polygons instead of 10000

[random gyro]

it’s barely noticeable

[random gyro]

Okay true ... other than that i usually dont rly do intense gaming, but my budget is finally high and it was always a dream to build top tier. The melting problem cant be fully excluded then ?

[random gyro]

the 5090 can run shaders at like idk 300 fps on extreme dude you don’t need it

[lethal bay]

I was running distant horizons mod + shaders at like 200+ on my XTX so lol

[random gyro]

I guess id go with 5080 if 5090 is a fire hazard

it’s like saying he wants 64gb ram for browsing lol

[random gyro]

they both are…

a 4070ti is more than capable

[random gyro]

Amazing

[clear hull]

Ok so I tried to enable expo and now my pc won't start even after I set it back to auto 4800mhz

[random gyro]

bros cooked

[clear hull]

I ran Windows repair it didn't work

am I actually cooked?

I just get blue screen now

[random gyro]

dude just get any 40 series card, that way you could play any game you want

[latent pasture]

reset cmos
maybe the timings r still on the non working config

[random gyro]

reinstall or try another reinstall

or reset cmos

[clear hull]

how do you reset CMOS?

[random gyro]

idk

[clear hull]

mannnn I don't wanna reinstall it took me like 10 hours to download everything..

[random gyro]

Sad that newest gen is prone to burning my house down

[random gyro]

try a completely new reinstall from your CD/USB

[latent pasture]

turn off the pc unplug from wall and u take out the cmos battery for a few seconds so ints completely unpowered
or if u have a motherboard with a special button for it then thats easier
it will revert ur bios to the default

[random gyro]

I might as well.

You got an idea if laptop 5090 series > desktop 40 series?

[latent pasture]

laptop 5090 tests r out u can check

[random gyro]

check, i doubt it

[latent pasture]

actuially ill go check im bored

[random gyro]

Aight one sec

usually the laptop card has like 30-50% less performance

but runs wayyy cooler

[clear hull]

this is the error message

[random gyro]

i’ve seen this on windows 7

Like , id just get the laptop and use it with a ultrawide monitor

you will have to completely reinstall windows from ysb

Without it killing me at night

[random gyro]

is it 1440p or 1080

[graceful girder]

@rigid fjord gtx 1070 ti or rx 580

[random gyro]

I didnt buy one yet but im sure i dont need 2k

[random gyro]

get anything above a 3080 ti

if you want 1440p

for laptops i have a 3060 and it’s fine for 1440 but it’s not that good

i have a 720p monitor tho so i cant speak

[sinful cobalt]

3060 is alright in 1440p, but it lacks the horsepower for the smoothest experience

[random gyro]

especially the laptop cards

I got the money anyway, id just buy the best thing that isnt an explosive / combustion thing

[sinful cobalt]

o jeez, laptop 3060 is prob gonna get like 30 fps in CP2077 1440p

[latent pasture]

jarrods bigchart doesnt have 9070 and rtx 50 desktop yet but around 7900xt/3090ti ig

[random gyro]

i think mine does around that point

720p is fine tho

[random gyro]

Damn, thanks

[sinful cobalt]

Matching a 7900XT at 175w tdp max boost (according to techpowerup) is crazy

[clear hull]

I told it to load uefi bios defaults on boot

hoping that works ???

[random gyro]

if it dosent you might have actually corrupted your wininstall

[latent pasture]

it also cost like $4000 kinda ngek

[random gyro]

try windows to go and if it boots you need to reinstall

[clear hull]

if that doesn't work I will reinstall, ok it didn't lol

rip

[random gyro]

Is there a method , with hwinfo, to cut the power if the amp is not balanced in the cable?

[random gyro]

what os is that, win7?

[clear hull]

[sinful cobalt]

yea but still it’s impressive

[random gyro]

holy shit you must have really fucked it up to get it to look like the win7 bootmgr

Switch to Linux, windows is buggy

if you can take the drive out into another enclosure, and copy the files to another disk with another PC

provided you didn't bitlocker encrypt the drive

[wheat torrent]

I really wonder how fiber cable looks like when its running

Is it like just flashing light very fast

[raven sluice]

the Windows inetpub folder in root has been around in some windows installations since at least 2017, I don't understand why people are noticing now

it really takes one idiot to say something and then everyone else follows suit

[elder quarry]

Fibre optic?

[wheat torrent]

Yes, I assume it's so fast that you can't even see it

Also the cables are tiny

[wheat torrent]

Nvm god damn

[swift thorn]

if you haven't bitlocker encrypted and you have another windows PC available you could use a linux live boot USB and copy data off that way

[frail delta]

That's not the problem, the wavelengths used are not in the spectrum of visible light

[raven sluice]

it's less than that. you need to divide it by 8

[raven sluice]

when you realise Nintendo blocks are just megabits

[clear hull]

ok it seems to be recognising my m.2 again for some unknown reason

last time I just clicked partition 3 to install and it failed. is this because I should have reformatted? @elder quarry

[raven sluice]

delete everything

and then install

[clear hull]

I just press delete delete delete

not format?

[woven wigeon]

delete just disk 0

[woven wigeon]

format it also

[clear hull]

what happens will a new selection of say almost 1tb appear? for me to click on to install

[iron glen]

too lazy to watch it but does the light just blink really fast or smth

[raven sluice]

formatting doesn't merge them into unallocated space

you want the partitions to stop existing

even the boot sector

delete everything

[clear hull]

delete on all the ones with red dots?

[raven sluice]

if you don't care about the data you have there and you're clean installing, literally delete everything

[clear hull]

okay

[raven sluice]

otherwise you need to understand which one is the drive you care about

[clear hull]

and a new thing will appear for me to select?

I'm sorry I'm just quite sick to the stomach rn about the mistake with expo causing all this

don't want to make a mistake again

[raven sluice]

wait why is "esd-usb" showing up?

that shouldn't show up

[clear hull]

I dunno

what is it?

[raven sluice]

don't delete that

[clear hull]

okay
just the disk 0

[raven sluice]

it's the usb drive from which you're booting from to install the OS

[woven wigeon]

WINDOWS MAKES THE PARTITIONS

[raven sluice]

yeah, if you only format them, the partitions stay

for a clean install, you want to delete all the partitions, and windows will recreate them

[clear hull]

won't let me delete

[raven sluice]

I know, this person is reinstalling windows

[clear hull]

maybe it's just taking some time to delete?

[woven wigeon]

refresh

its a button

[clear hull]

still the same

[raven sluice]

is this 24h2 win11?

[clear hull]

don't know what 24h2 is

ah, this comes up when I try to delete

[raven sluice]

try with the other ones first, then come back to this one later

[clear hull]

I think it's the same for all

[raven sluice]

this shouldn't happen

never happened to me

wait, I'll research

[hushed shale]

i added 4 gig stick to my already 8 gig laptop stick , now i have 12 gb ram , can this cause problems / performance issues?

[woven wigeon]

yes

if you use diffrent ram sticks that are not in a kit

[clear hull]

maybe my m.2 is just screwed somehow?

ughhhh

[woven wigeon]

the wil operare as slow as they can

[hushed shale]

well they are the same speed

[raven sluice]

first you need to make sure if your laptop motherboard and cpu support that much, some of them are limited to 8gb. Especially 2010s laptops

[raven sluice]

wait I'll come back to you

[cosmic notch]

This is a beginner question, my case has USB 3.0 but my motherboard only has USB 3.1 gen 1 header. Is this ok

[true stirrup]

Mixing ram is generally not a good idea but it can work fine
If it works for you then good

[true stirrup]

Yes USB is backwards compatible

[raven sluice]

@clear hull what are you booting from?

[cosmic notch]

Alright thanks

[clear hull]

usb

[raven sluice]

can you restart the installation?

[clear hull]

I'll try

don't understand how enabling expo fcked me this badly

[raven sluice]

ah it's that

disable it

[clear hull]

I did

read up in conversation history there's details on what happened

[raven sluice]

this is why I haven't enabled it

[clear hull]

ffs now m.2 not recognised by bios again

[raven sluice]

if it's not broke don't fix it

[true stirrup]

You are losing a whole lot of performance by not using EXPO

[raven sluice]

what ssd is it?

[clear hull]

sn580 1tb

[raven sluice]

I don't care about 5 more FPS

[true stirrup]

It's way more than that

[clear hull]

Why did this happen mannn😭

[true stirrup]

Doesn't sound like something ram could cause

[raven sluice]

I limit fps, so I literally don't need them

[true stirrup]

You do you but running JEDEC just because you want to is just painful

[tidal geyser]

pic of it on the motherboard

[clear hull]

read up in chat it's fine honestly

it was recognising it okay before

[tidal geyser]

yes you can kill a windows install by messing with ram

The worst it can do is corrupt your windows

but I can't reinstall windows because I can't delete the partitions on the SSD now

even when it does recognise it (it does sometimes it seems)

[true stirrup]

Really does sound like an SSD issue

[serene python]

It did kill mine

[clear hull]

how is it an SSD issue if it was caused by me messing with my ram

[raven sluice]

reading a lot of negative experiences regarding EXPO, this is exactly why I won't enable it, not worth the headache

[clear hull]

and my SSD is also recognisable sometimes

[raven sluice]

and I don't need any more headaches

[true stirrup]

Unfortunate timing

[clear hull]

how screwed am I

[raven sluice]

I can't type today

[true stirrup]

Just try taking the SSD out and putting it back in
Also did you reset CMOS?

[thorn pewter]

Expo made my ssd pregnet

[tidal geyser]

[clear hull]

no but to do that I'd need to take off my cooler and to do that i need alcohol wipe which I don't have

[true stirrup]

Cooler with thermal paste on that SSD?

[clear hull]

I'm thinking I just need to accept that I can't use my pc for 3 weeks until I have several days to fix

[raven sluice]

it made it pregnet?

[clear hull]

nah my cooler covers the CMOS

the CPU cooler

[true stirrup]

Just short the pins

[clear hull]

I don't think I'm experienced enough to do that

[true stirrup]

You just take a screwdriver and place it over 2 CMOS reset pins

[clear hull]

Given that I messed up this bad just trying to enable expo

[clear hull]

ok
when the pc is turning on or?

[thorn pewter]

Yea, the baby is due in about 3 months

[true stirrup]

[true stirrup]

When the PC is off

[clear hull]

with cable in?

[thorn pewter]

Sure

If you mean the power cable then ya

[clear hull]

ye

[true stirrup]

Doesn't matter
Just leave it in

[clear hull]

I gotta take the cooler off right

[thorn pewter]

What gpu is that?

[true stirrup]

The pins are usually on the lower part of the motherboard so no

[clear hull]

wait no I don't

I found it

In the manual, thanks ok will try now

[clear hull]

Rx 6700 10gb

hi rauko welcome to this discussion about how I really messed up (already)

so I press a screwdriver to the pins for 3 seconds

[true stirrup]

Yeah

[clear hull]

any screwdriver is fine? mine has a plastic handle

[true stirrup]

It just needs to have a metal tip

[rigid fjord]

disk became the short form of diskette, then later became disc when it refers to cd/dvd/blueray

[clear hull]

ok will try

and after I've cleared CMOS?

[rigid fjord]

the 1070ti has the better performance over an rx580 but tbh it's up to you and whichever is cheaper

[true stirrup]

Check if you can see your SSD in bios

[thorn pewter]

South Africa moment

[rigid fjord]

or you could do like @true stirrup did from a suggestion i made from a tip i got from j2c

[clear hull]

Ok I've done it with a screwdriver

I actually did it several times because my hand kept shaking

but final time was for 3+ seconds so I think I'm fine?

[true stirrup]

Amazing suggestion

[rigid fjord]

extra reset button attached to the clrcmos header

[true stirrup]

Yeah

[raven sluice]

stop with the cap, that's just the save icon

[rigid fjord]

one you can never regret and saves time and troubles with the bios

[clear hull]

accidentally let it go through to the usual blue screen (which the usual not recognising m.2 follows on from)

[rigid fjord]

[raven sluice]

you're telling me that they made the save icon in 3d?

[clear hull]

maybe I have to short it again

[true stirrup]

Blue screen means windows tried to boot so that's good

Just try getting into bios

[clear hull]

I see

[graceful girder]

😭

[clear hull]

it's a blank blue screen btw

[rigid fjord]

i will defenestrate you without hesitation or provocation when you do stupid shit

[tidal geyser]

Just blue

Well its a blue screen

[true stirrup]

Really messed up windows then

[tacit wasp]

[graceful girder]

what about in terms of drivers, i heard amd used to have issues but allso i wanna dual boot linux
