My pc delivery from Best Buy has been at label created since yesterday morning.. why is it taking so long for them to get the package to ups?

I seriously doubt at this pace I’m getting on Thursday

Wasn’t going to pay 100$ to get it a day or 2 faster though

[shell crow]

shit happens

[trim gyro]

warehouses are a mess

or at least, shipping centers

[tidal geyser]

might have lied and built a pc

welp i should go to sleep but this time true

[plush wren]

Wow so were lying now

[random gyro]

have you ever heard of a gpu being incompatible with a bios

new one for me

[night urchin]

How do I know what tier the thermal take 750 watt gt is

It’s not on the PSU tier list

[rigid fjord]

it is on the list

[night urchin]

I don’t see it

There’s only gf and stuff

[hidden hill]

Well in this case I wish shit would be happening

[rigid fjord]

really old model, potentially tier F

[night urchin]

Ah Alr

[fading forge]

Can someone give me some advice im building my first gaming setup and switching from a tv in the tv lounge to an oled in my room.is there a specific type of table or chair i should get and whats the best way to hide wires?i dont have a pc i game on ps5.and internet device is in the tv lounge so should i just attach the lan cables to the walls that lead to my room or is there a better way? I cant get my own internet.

[trim gyro]

the thermaltake gt manual I can find says that it was released on may 2024

https://file.thermaltake.com/file/qig/TOUGHPOWER_GT650_750_850W_Manual.pdf

says nothing about the specs

[rigid fjord]

tbf, if it's not on the list it's either an old model or to new and not been tested

[steel umbra]

Thermaltake ewww

actually where the model > brand rules does not apply

Because they be swapping parts inside psus

for worse

[random gyro]

may everyone on intel’s alchemist firmware team never see the light of heaven

[marble chasm]

How to type ~ on a 65% keyboard

Do i need to remap something?

[trim gyro]

does it not have one?

[candid void]

yoo

anyone know if metallicgear neo v2 a good case?

[trim gyro]

point and laugh

[candid void]

from looking it up i dont see much good reviews on it

[trim gyro]

looks like a generic pc case

[candid void]

yea

[trim gyro]

solid front and top, there's very little airflow

[candid void]

one of my friends got it for his pc he is changing case

he said he did his "research" and has insane airflow

i suggested 4000d

from corsair would be better

[marble chasm]

Its fn+shift+esc

Im all good

[trim gyro]

I wonder, does FN+ Esc do anything?

o ok nice

FN + Shift sounds tough

[marble chasm]

Im glad windows has stuff like that built in

[trim gyro]

I think it's on the keyboard

[marble chasm]

Im def not remembering it though😭

[trim gyro]

since my Fn + Esc locks the Fn key

[marble chasm]

Oh

[trim gyro]

my other keyboard does something different iirc

[marble chasm]

Huh

[woeful flicker]

Im installing vista

And dualbooting it with linux mint

[marble chasm]

Nice man

[west harbor]

need help with a new build, do i need to plug in both 12volt pcie cpu connections?

[woeful flicker]

No

[trim gyro]

no, one 8-pin is usually enough

I kept mines unplugged

[woeful flicker]

Btw that vrm heatsink looks niiiiceee

[clear canyon]

No, just 1 needed to work, the 2nd one is for overclocking a high wattage cpu

[trim gyro]

yeah no

[vestal stream]

Wow we're at a Time where CPUs need 3 4pins??

Damn that's crazy.

[gleaming rose]

god Google is tempting me to subscribe to AI soooo hard

they just started cooking in the past 24 hours

[rigid fjord]

you're either being stupidly dumb, or you 've never read a manual

[formal prism]

pcie? EATX power is reversed from the PCIE pinout and pcie replaces 2 of the pins for sense. It looks like you put it in upside down to accomodate...

[rigid fjord]

they definitely did, good notice

wait, maybe not

nope, that be the join of the 4+4 eps connector

[formal prism]

ah yeah I see that now. It being called pcie made me think it was the clip

[trim gyro]

could be upside down?

doesn't hurt to double check

wait but otherwise it wouldn't fit

it's probably in the correct orientation

[gusty wagon]

||they asked me if I was in a fur community or something, since both of us have you as a mutual friend. I was curious so I prodded a bit and they told me you dated before they got married :O||

[formal prism]

Just checked and pcie has one of the pins keyed differently so it should actually be impossible if you flip it. Someone smart must've thought of this concern when making the standard lol

[rigid fjord]

tbf, pcie fits into eps the same way an eps does

[formal prism]

oh yeah without flipping...

[rigid fjord]

old image of me showing that it can, and will happen

[trim gyro]

I'm more concerned about the particulates on that board

[rigid fjord]

said board isn't in use due to prochot constantly trigering from a faulty sensor

[trim gyro]

shucks

[rigid fjord]

tbf, it was handling a mild OC on an r5 3600 and my ballistix ram

[steel umbra]

i've seen people plug esp into gpu too

☠️

but some manufacturers of the connectors (rarely) make the housings differently

[peak knot]

thunderstorm just fried my ethernet adapter

[steel umbra]

yeah electro wizard is no fun

[peak knot]

its just a 5v to 3.3V LDO so if i replace it it should work.... or i can buy a new one for $15

[left dove]

Maddie got married and moved to Canada?? Damn good for her

[lethal bay]

mint

[steel umbra]

linux

[steel umbra]

i would probably buy a new one so you don't run into potential issues it could have caused

[lost lance]

what do yall think would be causing a issue where i cant type on my macbook 2008 casue whenever itry to press a key it makes a weird sutterint noise

[peak knot]

i mean yeah

that was the plan

[pallid otter]

Help me new pc

[hexed tapir]

#1027757333117415424 is for that

[steel umbra]

try one stick of ram, then the other stick, then other slot, update bios

it could be a lot of things causing that

any post leds?

[pallid otter]

Nah

[pallid otter]

Now it not turning on at all

[hexed tapir]

Have you tried buying a new pc

[timber halo]

Hey what gpu would be best for this build for gaming, upgrading from 3060, also ik the cpu isnt good for gaming but i didnt choose the parts

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QCxjC8

[hexed tapir]

What's the budget

[timber halo]

oops i forgot under 350

[hexed tapir]

You in the USA?

[timber halo]

yes

[cosmic robin]

Anyone have an idea why my RGB is staying on all of a sudden when I put my PC into hibernation? It never used to stay on.

[hexed tapir]

Is used a option

[timber halo]

yeah

[timber halo]

you broke the RGB's

[cosmic robin]

How?

[timber halo]

i was joking

[cosmic robin]

Ahh

[static gulch]

is the rx 7600 xt a bad buy? it's about the same price as a 4060 here

[trim gyro]

7600 XT is in an unfortunate spot

better than 4060, though

[hexed tapir]

Used Rx 6800 go for around $350 or a new arc b580 for $280ish

[trim gyro]

but it's hard to justify when Arc B570 exists

[static gulch]

b580 buggy as hell

[trim gyro]

less buggy than Nvidia at least c:

[static gulch]

in certain games it doesn't give you the performance you'd expect tho

[timber halo]

ok thanks bro

[hexed tapir]

Driver updates can and will fix that

[trim gyro]

used 6800 is very good

[static gulch]

seems legit
but the last time i tried updating drivers my gpu bricked itself😔

[hexed tapir]

Nvidia had the same problem a couple years back

[trim gyro]

I conjured another weird list https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wfqgHW

[static gulch]

im not buying that

[trim gyro]

well yeah it's for myself

[hexed tapir]

$300 9600x?!

[trim gyro]

microcenter deal, $300 for 9600X, mobo, and memory

[hexed tapir]

Ahhh that explains the loose ram

[trim gyro]

do people even copy CDs anymore

[gleaming rose]

i did a few days ago

[trim gyro]

I copy some to keep in my car and at home, also to gift

[hexed tapir]

People use Blu-ray drives as cold storage

[trim gyro]

I can understand that

[gleaming rose]

well i made a digital copy

not a physical one - i needed to archive and preserve what was on there

[trim gyro]

fair

god the airflow in that case is going to be bad

maybe I should find a blower card

my SSDs are arriving this week, woo

[static gulch]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dBwZDj chat can yall look at this and see if this is ok

[gleaming rose]

go used on the gpu and get an mp44l

also probably go am4 in that budget

[trim gyro]

oh ho you could change the memory, storage, and case

possibly the GPU as well

[static gulch]

looking for the cheapest case possible😔

[trim gyro]

go for a Thermaltake H18 or Phanteks XT

Air 100/1000 also an option if cheaper in your location

[static gulch]

the thermaltake is 40 dollars here

[gleaming rose]

what is this pc for

[static gulch]

prolly JWE2 at max settings

[gleaming rose]

dont think that's happening

[static gulch]

32gb memory?

[trim gyro]

definitely

[gleaming rose]

save up some more money

[trim gyro]

try this one https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Yyqrxr/patriot-viper-venom-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6400-cl32-memory-pvv532g640c32k

[gleaming rose]

hell no not in that budget

[trim gyro]

it's only like, $30 more

[gleaming rose]

im going to say that price is too good to be true

[gleaming rose]

not what i mean

i dont think it's hitting the advertised performance reliably

[trim gyro]

you can always go back to 6000 CL30

[latent pasture]

even if u run it at 6000 cl30 its cheaper than if u bought an actual kit at that spd

[gleaming rose]

still they should get a $135 am4 cpu and run ddr4 so they have more money for the gpu

[latent pasture]

$135 is too expensive for am4 cpu

[gleaming rose]

or just save up more money and get a pc that actually does what they want it to

[trim gyro]

that's an option

[static gulch]

do you guys even know what JWE2 even is

[gleaming rose]

yes i googled it and it looks demanding at high settings

[static gulch]

"looks"

see the system reqs

[gleaming rose]

ok go ask some other server for help

[static gulch]

alright, thx

[gleaming rose]

you arent welcome

[trim gyro]

well, it looks possible https://pcpartpicker.com/list/b2gHKq

[hidden hill]

good deal? anyone know if this monitor specifically is good?

been wanting an oled

[frail delta]

https://rtings.com

[gleaming rose]

barely better than a 7600xt

[trim gyro]

I still think it's worth trying to get on am5 over am4 though

[latent pasture]

its only like $120 to go from 5600 b550 32gb ddr4 to 7600 b650 32gb ddr5 6000+

[gleaming rose]

this is wrong

[gleaming rose]

with no major performance benefit in the average game unless it's cpu bound

[latent pasture]

the 5600 route only makes sense if they have no income and wont get any more money forever

[gleaming rose]

i meannn they're spending $600 on a PC soooo
i guess this works

[latent pasture]

hubs latest review

[stray cairn]

Which makes sense if they're in school and does not make sense if they're a functioning adult

[static gulch]

so the prices on the 7500f and the PSU arent listed, and so their prices aren't included
it's more like 900$

[latent pasture]

inb4 all this time they werent in usa

[stray cairn]

Double the price

[latent pasture]

im looking at jwe2 gameplay and even 5600g rx 6600 gets 60-80fps on 1080p ultra max

[gleaming rose]

wtf

[static gulch]

its a gaming miracle ngl

[gleaming rose]

ok well that is totally my bad

but yeah what the fuck

i still stand by what i said that i would recommend saving up a bit more, but for a different reason this time - you can do more with a more powerful pc especially when you move on from JWE2

[static gulch]

i know outsiders will see all the fancy shading and be like "oh you must be running a 4080 or smth"
they're using a 4060.

but yeah thx for the info

[stray cairn]

Technically all GPU's can do the same, but not as fast

[hard cedar]

Best 360 controller in the pic?

[hidden hill]

anyone know?

[static gulch]

i don't live in your area so idk

[trim gyro]

looks like normal pricing to me

although I'd wish it was a little lower

[gleaming rose]

not necessarily

[hidden hill]

me too lol

[gleaming rose]

if you dont have enough vram your gpu driver can crash and your system can lock up

[hidden hill]

but yeah i think im pulling the trigger, oled 1440 and 240 htz

[latent pasture]

much better thing to spend money on than pretty pc
prettify the thing youll be staring at 99% of the time

[peak knot]

close to completion, just waiting on my 5 resistors that cost like $35/each

[trim gyro]

what's this

[peak knot]

precision voltage reference

[trim gyro]

oh the thing you were talking about earlier

[peak knot]

yeah this is the internals

so far

[minor cove]

There are definitely some different hardware specific features like DLSS 2 or 4 or FSR and whatnot but for general purposes GPU is GPU and mostly frequency/speed and/or memory limits that vary

[trim gyro]

that resistor better come gold plated if it costs that much

[stray cairn]

I love how back then we can land a fucking ship on the fucking MOON with 72kb of memory and now we have people complaining that we cannot run shit because it does not have certain shit

[static gulch]

i don't think i'll trust intel js yet😔 , the performance even with updates to the drivers sometimes isn't as expected

[gleaming rose]

probably just very precise resistance with very low deviation tolerances and high heat tolerance

[trim gyro]

jfc

[trim gyro]

that would make sense

fuck mosquito bit me

[peak knot]

6 resistors cost me $150 alone

and these were the budget ones for the precision i wanted

[long beacon]

Is a 2015 MacBook pro decent enough to run school programs?

[gleaming rose]

what school programs

[long beacon]

Canvas, Microsoft suites, lockdown browser, zoom

Not using for much else

YouTube

[gleaming rose]

if you're doing microsoft i'd honestly recommend a used thinkpad but it should be fine

[trim gyro]

should be

[gleaming rose]

yeah microsoft suite runs on macos

[long beacon]

I only ask cause I found a refurb for 150

[gleaming rose]

meh

[trim gyro]

if any of your courses require adobe or autodesk programs, you'll probably want a windows laptop

[gleaming rose]

check your local used market for a old thinkpad

[long beacon]

I was gonna do a thinkpad but it’s 200$ more

I’ve been looking for weeks

[gleaming rose]

adobe suite runs great on macos and also runs great on linux too with some workarounds

[long beacon]

I live in bfe so not a lot of people selling

[static gulch]

is it worth an extra 60 dollars (converted from my country's currency) to buy the 7600 over the 6600 xt?

[gleaming rose]

bfe?

[long beacon]

Bum fuck egypt

The middle of no where

[gleaming rose]

how is anybody supposed to know that

[left dove]

before first encounter

[gleaming rose]

well whatever im not egyptian idk what the market is like

[long beacon]

It’s an old saying in the Midwest

[gleaming rose]

just get the mac and install windows on it

[long beacon]

I live in Missouri lmao it’s just a saying

[gleaming rose]

oh for fucks sake

[long beacon]

Echo it’s not this deep man lmao

I appreciate the help tho

[gleaming rose]

why not just say you live in missouri

[long beacon]

Cause I don’t really be talkin about where I’m from but the point was that I’m in the middle of nowhere

[static gulch]

can anyone help chat

[gleaming rose]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/197322104750
get this and a hard drive

[long beacon]

Chicken jockey, go to the comparison

[gleaming rose]

actually nvm it doesnt have a charger one sec

[static gulch]

which

[long beacon]

The 7600 is what I have

I run 110fps in Fortnite if that helps

[stray cairn]

Read benchmarks. The thing is we cannot control the “is it worth spending x more for this” since you’re the one paying

[long beacon]

It also depends on your budget, like the card is worth more yes, because it’s faster, but I can’t speak on your finances

My bad I have a 7650

[gleaming rose]

you could've just said the united states and that wouldve been exactly what was necessary

[long beacon]

My man

[gleaming rose]

anyways just look on ebay and find a laptop

[long beacon]

It’s just a saying

[wet ember]

so basically the vr was just jumping everywhere and i waited and waited for it to load but it wouldn’t

[gleaming rose]

that nobody fucking knows

[long beacon]

I can’t help it that I’m a boomer

[gleaming rose]

has nothing to do with it

[stray cairn]

Because the answer can go from “Its not worth it” to “I would spend $2500 bucks on 5090”

[long beacon]

Idk why you didn’t just ask what country I’m from if you wanted to know lmao

[trim gyro]

seems like it's a regional slang https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/13372/what-is-the-etymology-of-bfe

[long beacon]

Either way, thanks for help.

[gleaming rose]

wouldnt a person that doesnt live in missouri assume that when saying this you mean you live in egypt?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/356935988926
this seems decent

[long beacon]

The 2015 mac is an i7 tho

Is i3 not like 100 years old

[gleaming rose]

i3 has nothing to do with age

10th gen is much newer than 5th gen

[long beacon]

Isn’t the i- the generation?

[gleaming rose]

no that's the series

[sinful cobalt]

no

[long beacon]

Ah. I’m a ryzen guy

[gleaming rose]

this outperforms the shitter of a cpu in the mac by a little

and it's more power efficient

still both garbage cpus but hey for $150 what can you do

more than enough probably

[long beacon]

Fr

[hidden hill]

impulse bought it ngl

but it looks like a great monitor, and ive been wanting an oled for a while

[gleaming rose]

seems fine

brand?

[hidden hill]

do you guys use oled monitors? saw some on display before and it was nuts seeing the side by side

[gleaming rose]

im sure someone does and they have their benefits

[gleaming rose]

yeahman lg knows their shit

[hidden hill]

best panels for tvs imo, samsung is great too

[gleaming rose]

yyep

[hidden hill]

but yeah cant wait to test it out

[sinful cobalt]

me

[long beacon]

I think this one fire

[hidden hill]

240 hz is wild tbh

[gleaming rose]

not worth that much

[sinful cobalt]

i use both a oled laptop and monitor

[gleaming rose]

thinkpads are better laptops, more reliable and shit
i sent you a link to a good one

[hidden hill]

specs sound pretty decent, that price looks great

yeah i have had issues with dell laptops before

[gleaming rose]

thinkpads look hot and also are built like tanks

[hidden hill]

happy with it?

[stray cairn]

Charge your phone

[long beacon]

Make me

[sinful cobalt]

yes the contrast and blacks are nice af

[hard cedar]

for no reason my parents thought it was a good idea to pair a b450 aorus elite board with a gt 710 for my grandpas pc.... and he has a 700w psu, his budget was 700 dollars CAD, dont know what cpu is in there
and the ram sticks are in the wrong place

[sinful cobalt]

im not a brightness typa guy tho

[long beacon]

She didn’t tell me she could get a dell inspiron through the school

[hidden hill]

yeah i couldnt believe how nice it looked in person

saw one at best buy

[sinful cobalt]

they do not in the slightest know anything about PCs or tech

[long beacon]

These are the options she would get for free

[hard cedar]

my dad is a tech nerd, he works in electronics and builds pcs

[long beacon]

The dell is wayyy out of hp league

[hidden hill]

need to see how many nits this monitor can get

[sinful cobalt]

maybe its time to disown ur dad

[hard cedar]

lol

all im saying is grandpa aint needing 700w psu for a dang gt 710

[sinful cobalt]

dawg a gt 710 uses like a 100w psu

[hard cedar]

he coud of went to a gtx 1060 if he put the psu down a little

[hard cedar]

and it was paired on a am4 board

[sinful cobalt]

it fucking eats 19w

[hard cedar]

now hes saying his pc aint dettecting a os

[hidden hill]

does the 400 mean 400 nits?

[hard cedar]

no wonder its not dettecting it

even myself on a 250$ CAD budget got a better gpu

(im on integraded graphics)

[hard cedar]

no idea

[trim gyro]

yes

[hard cedar]

even worse my parents got all the parts new...

HOW DID THEY GET A NEW GT 710

HOOWWWWW

[hidden hill]

cool, current monitor is the same

using a odyssey g7 4k hdr monitor, gonna make this one my youtube monitor

[hard cedar]

Dang and to say im stuck on a samsung syncmaster 941bw

[sinful cobalt]

im on a aw2725df lol

[hidden hill]

current youtube monitor i use is an alienware 2521HFL

[hidden hill]

no clue what that is lmao

older monitor i assume lol

[hard cedar]

old ahh monitor

[hidden hill]

[hard cedar]

only got vga and dvi

[hidden hill]

rn i got an old msi 1080p monitor for discord on the left, the samsung one in the center and then the alienware for youtube on the right

[hard cedar]

this the monitor, 19'' monitor

its a freaking 2007 monitor

[hidden hill]

reminds me of my high school computer lab

scratch that, elementary school computer lab

the fact its still working is nuts though

[hard cedar]

yeah

myslef i got a 2009 gpu and it still works fine

[random gyro]

How can I determine if my motherboard or cpu is shorted?

[gleaming rose]

Well, what's happening?

[gleaming rose]

https://xyproblem.info/

[random gyro]

Psu click nothing happens

Psu not broken brand new

Would a motherboard show a sign even with a fried cpu?

[gleaming rose]

probably the motherboard but try unplugging everything non-essential from the motherboard

[gleaming rose]

yes

[random gyro]

yea it showed NOTHING

[gleaming rose]

when you press the power button ?

[gleaming rose]

well, depends

[random gyro]

Only thing that showed is when I turned on my power supply that was connected to the pc

the lights to my cooler flickered

But it never turned on

#1027757333117415424

go ask an expert idk shit about stuff like this

[grim rover]

I hate fans

can we all agree

[trim gyro]

I guess you're not a fan of them

[grim rover]

Ha funny

[grizzled frost]

what do you have against fans

and is it only fans or other things too

[halcyon beacon]

[grim rover]

I dont like fans

[grizzled frost]

why not

[grim rover]

they suck

[teal sinew]

fans that move air or human fans

[grizzled frost]

good to hear

[grizzled frost]

i usually don’t make humans move air for my pc

to each their own ig

[teal sinew]

i have a guy that waves a large leaf infront of my computer with the sidepanel removed to ventilate it

[grizzled frost]

understandable

cheaper than noctua fans

[grim rover]

great temps im guessing

But i tried for three days to get my fans working and it just wasnt but it just worked so i clearly did something right

[grizzled frost]

fan hub?

[grim rover]

no its like a cable

Thats a fan hub but in cable form

for the power and I plugged the rgb into my cpu slot because it wasnt going into my second rgb hub

on my motherboard

[lapis talon]

Is this normal for roblox

[trim gyro]

looks normal

[lapis talon]

Causes my game to crash for some reason

[grim rover]

drivers?

[lapis talon]

Updated

[grim rover]

mines runs 45 idle i dont see an issue

[lapis talon]

That's after the game crashed

[grim rover]

does it happen in other games

[grim rover]

oh

[lapis talon]

Not sure

Gpu is like almost 5 years old

Should I repaste it before I sell it

Or should I sell it as it is

[grim rover]

sell as is but if you wanna be a top notch seller and have the time and wanna do it go ahead

[lapis talon]

I mean, I can wait and then sell it

[grim rover]

btw what are you gonna replace it with

[lapis talon]

But problem is, won't the thermal pads get ripped apart

[lapis talon]

Probably a sapphire pure RX 9070 xt

[trim gyro]

surely roblox has a crash log

[lapis talon]

That's what I was thinking

It only happened sometimes before

But now, the game crashes every time I launch it

[lapis talon]

Before as in, in the past week

[trim gyro]

did you check your crash logs and do a self-diagnosis?

[grim rover]

honestly I dont know much about the software part of stuff so I cant help much

[trim gyro]

wrong link

[lapis talon]

Not yet

[lapis talon]

It's fine dw

[grim rover]

how much ram are you running honestly a dumb question but just curious

[lapis talon]

32gb 5600 mhz

Albeit it's from thermal take 😔

[grim rover]

making my ram feel slow

[thorn pewter]

whats the speed of youere if thats slow kek

[fluid badger]

Got a question, Buddy of mine just picked up a 9070xt and for some reason its only drawing 30w under load, We've ran DDU because he came from an Nvidia card. and checked thermals all perfectly normal, Any other ideas we could try?

[grim rover]

64gb 3600mhz

[thorn pewter]

make it 4600

[grim rover]

I can't :( I dont got money

[thorn pewter]

loosen the timings and with a voltage rise it is possible with a decent kit

[grim rover]

Imma be honest i have no clue how to do pc stuff im still learning and scared to break anything because i aint got no moneyyyyyyy

[thorn pewter]

are you sure no thing is fucked on the pcb

[thorn pewter]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI4o0eG8SOo&pp=ygUeZGRyIG9jIGd1aWRlIGZyb20gMzYwMCB0byA0NjAw

[fluid badger]

i mean, No not exactly. dont exactly have one to compare it too. so if somethings broke off we wouldn't really know

[grim rover]

thank you

[thorn pewter]

well did you try it out on another pcie slot?

or you sure the psu isnt the issue here

[fluid badger]

its an 850w psu

and it was working perfectly fine with the 2070 that was in it

2070 super, Sorry, it was drawing all 215 ish watts or what ever its rated at

We're trying a bios reset and a cmos reset now just to get it off the list

[thorn pewter]

it could be the vrms on the pcb that are fualty, but def do that first to be sure

[fluid badger]

If he has to RMA it at least he has the 2070S still lol

[thorn pewter]

i would do that honestly, i mean its still under warranty

[fluid badger]

Hopefully its just some weird bios thing but

[granite sundial]

does anyone actually have phanteks t30-120s how are they

particularly at which point do they become audible

[mortal venture]

I wonder why

[trim gyro]

I wonder how, I wonder why

[mortal venture]

Yeah

Holy shit

[vestal roost]

New Thermalright AIO $45 no screen $65 for screen. Fight back lian li and other overpriced AIO companies!!!!

[thorn pewter]

this is around the time trans from molex to sata and it was that weird middle time that gave these things

[mortal venture]

I was like 1 month old when it came out from factory

Some old shit

[thorn pewter]

you are still a youngeng then

(not much younger than me lol)

[mortal venture]

Idk why but I really enjoy playing with hardware that is older than me
Like pc with athlon xp

[trim gyro]

you could try referencing a demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTsmwKKQuL0&t=228s
it seems like it starts to get noisy after around 1000RPM

which is typical for most fans

[mortal venture]

Time to water cool 23 year old cpu

[granite sundial]

it's noise at low rpms I care about, my p14 maxes have started wobbling at below 1000 rpm making them very audible

so I just have them off

[haughty siren]

I recently bought a pc and an A6100 wifi adapter to go with it. Since using it (for roughly 2 days) my ping just spikes all the time. In Overwatch my ping will spike to 300+ after about 20 minutes of playing and then not go down at all, and in Discord my latency will be all over the place basically all the time. Idk what to do ive contacted the adapter company's support and troubleshooted, redownloaded the adapter drivers Im just lost

[granite sundial]

are u sure it's not a problem with ur internet in general

and not the adapter

[haughty siren]

it could be but i dont think so bc it doesnt happen on my phone or my old laptop

[thorn pewter]

faulty adaoter prob, did you try to reseat it or move it to another pcie slot

[trim gyro]

it's a usb adapter

[thorn pewter]

oh is it?

i guess so

well did you put it into a usb 2 slot not a usb 3 one??

[trim gyro]

try plugging the adapter in a usb port separate from your other devices

by that, I mean like dedicate one of your USB ICs for the wifi adapter

fuck I suck at explaining

[mortal venture]

I really love it when my pc starts to sound like it's been swapped for a diesel engine

[trim gyro]

sounds like there's a cable or something getting in the way of the fan

[mortal venture]

It's faulty fan

Needs more sandpaper

It was worse

[mortal venture]

Me too

@thorn pewter I was wondering why this hdd has 1,5Gb/s mode

The more you know

[thorn pewter]

thats was before the sata 6

yeah older tech from 6gbs but backwards and fowords compatible

[mortal venture]

Time to put that bad boy in my nas

Or no

[haughty siren]

just tried that waited a little and it spiked again

i like connected the adapter to the motherboard on the back of the case and rest of peripherals on the other side of the case? if thats what you meant

[trim gyro]

hm okay that works

is there no way for you to connect your computer using ethernet port?

[haughty siren]

says im on 3500 ping right now its so scuffed

no theres not unfortunately

[haughty siren]

i might just buy a new one tbh havent had this issue on other devices so

[trim gyro]

try running an internet speed test?
if your bandwidth is small, other programs in the background might be gobbling up much of the bandwidth

otherwise, some objects or electronics in between the computer and the wifi modem might be disturbing the connection

[mortal venture]

I probably found my new switch

It's kinda big

[trim gyro]

99% air inside

[mortal venture]

And probably some really loud fans

[fickle ivy]

So, just to be 100% clear as I have had 3 people tell me I'm wrong
It is safe to use a USB type C laptop charger to charge my USB type C phone
To my understanding it is as the device I'm charging will request the wattage it needs to charge at maximum efficiency

[formal sonnet]

So long as the USB-C laptop charger is PD compliant, charging other PD compliant devices with it is safe.

[fickle ivy]

Okay I thought so

I'm guessing dell and Samsung are likely compliant with the standard

[ripe marsh]

yeah, It'll likely charge the phone at it's max supported speed which might degrade the battery in the long term though

[fickle ivy]

Eh it's an S9 the battery is already cooked

[ripe marsh]

if your a person who upgrades phones every few years it wont matter much but if you keep the phone for longer like 5 years using some slow charger overnight might be a better idea

[broken perch]

I want it

[stray cairn]

Its 100 grand

[broken perch]

Spectacular, give me 14 of them right now.

[empty quartz]

As much as its the right thing to do, i hate doing 3 pass secure erases on hdd’s

Especially on my 2nd hand hdd’s

[empty quartz]

Its a need to be done, but it just takes so long

[empty quartz]

Midvidia

[empty quartz]

Show something from actual innovators instead of the company who shills ai slop

[stray cairn]

So Nvidia?

[empty quartz]

Literally any company other than them

[stray cairn]

List them

[empty quartz]

Intel, amd

[stray cairn]

LMAO

Intel and AMD doesn’t do shit.

[empty quartz]

You are incorrect in that statement

In the datacenter side, intel and amd are very strong competitors with nvidia

[frail delta]

Intel does not compete at all with nvidia in the dc space?

[stray cairn]

Do you work for a data center

[frail delta]

Only networking really

[empty quartz]

Do you?

[stray cairn]

I am.

That’s why I’m on GTC.

[empty quartz]

Intel makes datacenter gpu’s aswell

[stray cairn]

Now, do you work for a data center?

[stray cairn]

Gaudi is untested on scientific workloads and doesn’t have much reach as NVIDIA

The reason why we don’t use Intel or AMD is because we need to reinvent our shit from scratch if we were to use them.

[frail delta]

Um, barely

[stray cairn]

NVIDIA’s shit is already tested and we trust them already.

And we don’t need to reinvent our shit.

[empty quartz]

Fair

It’ll be interesting if/when intel releases a battlemage based datacenter gpu

[stray cairn]

Impossible.

Intel is in a pickle at the moment

Since data centers are moving to ARM systems

Gaudi is also untested and like what I said, NVIDIA already got their shit down so all we need to do is just install it and run our shit.

[empty quartz]

Not talking about gaudi 🤦‍♂️

Literally never even mentioned it

[stray cairn]

Gaudi itself is not even tested thoroughly yet people expecting battlemage datacenter GPU’s

[empty quartz]

Gaudi is an ai accelerator

[stray cairn]

I know what I am talking about.

[empty quartz]

Im talking about intels hpc cards

Not the ai slop cards

Intel doesnt only make ai cards

You should know this, since you said you work in the dc industry

[stray cairn]

Do you work for data centers?

[empty quartz]

No, but i dont have to in order to know about tech in that field

[stray cairn]

Then you should know that accelerators doesn’t mean it cannot be used for AI.

We use HGX’s for both scientific simulation AND AI

The fact that you said AI accelerator means you got scammed by marketing.

[empty quartz]

An ai accelerator just means that its built mainly for ai training

I never said that it cant do one or the other

You’re the one making assumptions

[stray cairn]

What makes it different than regular HPC GPU’s then?

[empty quartz]

Less ai focused and more of a gpgpu

[stray cairn]

Define “AI focused”

[empty quartz]

Designed mainly for ai training

[stray cairn]

How makes it any different with other datacenter GPU’s?

I can do ML training on RTX 5080

[limpid dune]

they just did, that 48GB B600 (I forget, the dual B580 or whatever) was demonstrated in a big rack in the gamersnexus video, which had five of them

it's partly designed for AI, but also for video creation, because it's got that VRAM for assets and the sweet sweet intel encoders, as well as plenty of shaders

[empty quartz]

“How makes it”

[stray cairn]

Which is a consumer GPU

[empty quartz]

B60*

[limpid dune]

they lobotomize the shaders and ROPs on the datacenter cards sometimes, video encoders too

[stray cairn]

Get a load of this guy lmao.

[empty quartz]

@limpid dune the b60 is more of a workstation ai slop card

[empty quartz]

Im making fun of your error.

[limpid dune]

but unlike Gaudi, it actually has shaders, encoders, etc. It should be amazing at video transcoding... hhnnng I want one

[empty quartz]

Well, intel has always done well at their encoders

[limpid dune]

although it will probably unseat the 3090 as the slopware-workstation-card-of-choice

intel encoders are just built different istg

[empty quartz]

Real shit

[limpid dune]

my UHD-630 beats Ada Lovelace for entropy, and sometimes speed too

and that's a SEVENTH gen iGPU

[empty quartz]

Ngl im done with this friday person, they seem to be an ai slop enthusiast

[empty quartz]

My iris xe max still beats my rx 6800 in quality when it comes to rendering and encoding

[limpid dune]

I've met a couple of fluid dynamicists in my university using an A770 cluster for fluid dynamics. They're very cursed, though. they're using them in tandem with some GTX 770s and a 3090. IN THE SAME MACHINE

[empty quartz]

Why 770’s

[limpid dune]

they got two slots free and they love glitchy drivers 😭

[empty quartz]

Speaking of gpu’s

Eventually i might get a ws x299 sage for shits and giggles

[random gyro]

have fun with that because intel oneAPI/oneMKL sucks

[limpid dune]

oooo, LGA-2066

I'm building a server and LGA-2066 is tempting tbh

but I don't need that much IO, so a ryzen makes more sense

[empty quartz]

Its not the io for me

Its the pcie expansion

7 full size slots

[limpid dune]

hardware RAID cards, here we- naaah hardware raid is dead

[random gyro]

oh speaking of i am now actively fighting an A770 again to try and get it working: it's still doing the thing where boots randomly just fail

[empty quartz]

@limpid dune wanna know a cool concept i have for a cluster?

[limpid dune]

eight raspberri pi compute modules on a single cluster board inside a framework laptop?

[empty quartz]

Nope

All you need are 7 of these, some pcie riser’s, and an asus ws x299 sage. (Plus like 2 1600W psu’s)

[random gyro]

some fun facts about the A770:

• cold reboots usually work
• warm reboots basically never do
• OpenCL/Level Zero/Vulkan don't allow more than 4gb of memory to be allocated at once presumably because the memory controller was 32-bit
• DP compatibility is hit or miss
• using a high refresh rate monitor causes higher power draw
• idle is 40W because if the memory ramps down the card breaks

[empty quartz]

Might just be yours being faulty

[random gyro]

i had the card replaced because my media engine died and it still did the reboots thing, the rest have been acknowledged by intel

[empty quartz]

What kind of cpu/mobo you got?

[random gyro]

MSI X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI, Ryzen 5 3600X (at the time)
it now lives in a much slower machine (MSI B250 GAMING PRO, Intel i5-6600)

[empty quartz]

I think thats your issue

Rebar

[random gyro]

oh and did i mention dx11 performance?????

[limpid dune]

actually the 4GB thing seems to be quite common, since GPUs almost always operate on physical address spaces they don't like having disjointed blocks, and 32-bit ALUs make >4GB painful

[random gyro]

nah, i put it in the slower machine so it could stop causing me issues in my main one, just said "fuck this" and bought a RX 7900XT instead

[random gyro]

it's... it's not. accouding to AI developers, they were the only ones to still do it

and you know what their response was?

"why do you need to allocate more than 4gb?"

[limpid dune]

HAH

gosh

I'm sure these GPUs will mature well, like first-gen GCN cards did, but in the meantime...

[empty quartz]

Hm

@random gyro at least you have it better than me

I have dg1

Far more issues than alchemist

[random gyro]

absolutely not, Battlemage will but these cards were trash
emulated dx9, DX11 perf being god awful (being reliably outrun by a gtx 980), DX12 performance being all over the place, the numerous issues with starfield... i could go on but i don't really need to, these cards straight up shouldn't have been released to consumers

[elder quarry]

intel iGPU goes hard

[random gyro]

and please note that when presented with an issue that caused practically all vulkan applications to crash, this was what their response was

it's old, they got blasted for it, and rightfully so, but

and that's not to mention that they supposedly will not support intel media engine for DG2 in the Xe driver, set to replace i915 in linux

[tidal geyser]

This is insane

I have spent a year at school and what is meant to be a grueling extremely hard task is just the most basic shit even a child can do

Objectives:
You should be able to set up a secure wireless network with your own router/AP.
You should install and configure a laptop with Windows 11.
The PC should be connected to the wireless network and ready to use in a home network

Wireless network setup
You should:
Connect and configure a wireless router or access point (AP).
Change the SSID (network name) to a custom name.
Enable WPA2 or WPA3 encryption and set a secure password.
Disable WPS (if possible).
Change the admin password on the router.
Set up a custom IP network:
Example: 192.168.10.0/24
Router IP: 192.168.10.1
DHCP: Enabled (with appropriate range)
Take screenshots of the most important settings (SSID, encryption, IP, DHCP).
Create a guest wireless network named the same as the original wireless network + guest

This is insane

I can do this shit in my sleep

[formal sonnet]

Reason 574638 I never enrolled in post-secondary Computer Science.

[tidal geyser]

I thought I needed to serial into a switch and config it that way yo make a larger computer network but ofc not

And on the network task maybe allow for bonus points by flashing the AP

Welp let's hope the presentation part will be a little more advanced

[elder quarry]

but does your classmates know how to do this

[tidal geyser]

No

[formal sonnet]

Ensure it's an OpenWRT compatible router, then flash it with OpenWRT, then configure it to be as sophisticated as an entry level "Enterprise" Firewall + Switch + AP... all for 1/10th the cost. Bonus points if Cisco or another network vendor is involved in the course in some way. 😏

[tidal geyser]

We were allowed to use chat gpt on a test before a few weeks ago and even I just asked straight up how to do EVERYTHING and it gave me all the answers to make my network work in cisco packet tracer, people well at least one person got a 1

[tidal geyser]

O yeah, flashing a cisco AP so it can be a weee bit more usefull outside the enterprise

[random gyro]

they shouldn’t allow chatgpt, people should just figure it out

[tidal geyser]

Well then almost everybody would have gotten a 1

[limpid dune]

just ssh into the router and use sudo apt install * -y, that'll fix all compatibility issues

[tidal geyser]

Anyways chat gpt is a good thing but do not be too reliant on it

[random gyro]

please tell me apt doesn’t let you do this

[tidal geyser]

Most things are good in moderation

[limpid dune]

wait, how do they do the exam? do you bring a whole ass server rack in and assemble it?

[tidal geyser]

Well no that is the point

Of this shit that you do not have to

Fun fact the classroom what meant to have some servers in it

But not enough space supposedly

Welp at least by the look of it i will have "home school"

[formal sonnet]

Um. Why are they screensharing Teams? They're aware Powerpoint lets you present just to a second screen whilst being able to still work on the first screen, right? .... Riiiiight? 👀

[random gyro]

in my computer science class when i was in highschool we were supposed to be learning excel and powerpoint/google slides, but i was more interested in how they were monitoring the PCs
figured it out, and when a friend of mine asked, i told them without hesitation

[sinful cobalt]

its the pc connected to the projector

they also have other shit to post on teams

[random gyro]

they used that to do things they weren't supposed to on both the macs and the chromebooks

[sinful cobalt]

oh wait

[random gyro]

i feel bad because i got them in trouble indirectly

[sinful cobalt]

its that its not their PC, its the sch PC on the desk, they just logged in to access the slides

[formal sonnet]

Oof. Poor conferencing / presentation setup. But eh, if it's what you have, it's what you have.

[raw olive]

hello folks

[random gyro]

that's basically the level of lazy i'm doing now: using Moonlight to connect to my main PC anc chat from that on my laptop

[tidal geyser]

OMG THAT LOOKS ACTUALLY FUN, WHYYY do you get this while im sitting here having to install windows for the 100th time

[random gyro]

bro... it's not hard

why do they even need to teach this

[tidal geyser]

i know its not hard but it looks way way more fun then resetting a AP combo thingy and just doing the default setup

[tidal geyser]

well so people know how to ssh on a switch

[random gyro]

no no, i meant installing windows

[tidal geyser]

o yeah that

no people have issues doing that

they try and move the iso file ON the disk

well as in disk wiped they have the iso file and just transfer their iso file to the usb disk

nothing else no extra programs just that shit

[random gyro]

ok i kinda get that, if they don't know what Rufus is or what the Media Creation Tool does, that's the most logical course of action

[sinful cobalt]

dawg theres another class that literally teaches shit about OS, installing one and the fucker still talking about W7 and 8 bro

[raw olive]

i think i got hurnias

[tidal geyser]

well they have had a year of this shi t

[random gyro]

ok yeah that's less understandable but still i mean

[tidal geyser]

and they have had to use rufus before and the way we mostly get the iso image is the media creation tool i helped most of em install and use

[random gyro]

...oh

[tidal geyser]

yeeeaa

[random gyro]

apparently there are kids who legitimately don't know anything about files or folders

i think this is mainly the fault of chromebooks

[tidal geyser]

no i do not think most of them have ever even held a chromebook

how much u got?

[elder quarry]

that's normal

[limpid dune]

I mean, 32 is a nice render distance

[limpid dune]

omg I have one of those and it's genuinely INSANE. it has no L3, all L2 misses go straight to RAM. it's got an ATI (not AMD!) mobile GPU. it was so CPU limited it bottlenecked when updating... and only one channel of DDR3

even Arch couldn't make that laptop fast-ish

right, i've decided to start a nvidia competitor company called Yvidia, we will make good cheap gpus 😄

any1 wanna join yfm?

[raw olive]

i mean i have sand if you need it

[elder quarry]

sure

[random gyro]

the E2? those were Jaguar, not Bulldozer or Piledriver

[limpid dune]

people go to "new", sort by nvidia, and sort by lowest price first, sadly

[random gyro]

good start

the people are stupid

[random gyro]

we can smelt it into glass for gpus or something 😄

[elder quarry]

I can donate 1 dollar to get 1% revenue and you must earn at least 100 buckaroodles

why are nvidia so focused on frame gen, just make the cards faster

the new model Y is looking pretty dang good but my country is launching a competitor (hopefully)

[limpid dune]

the PS5 is very similar to the Tesla controller, which is pretty much just a six-core zen 2 chip with an RX6600... not bad tbh, I've gamed on worse

[raw olive]

if the specs turn out as advertised its looking pretty promising

[random gyro]

what improvements can i make?

[random gyro]

i want someone to turn the ryzen ai max cpu into a console

[raw olive]

ah dang it

[random gyro]

dear god, athlon x2????

[raw olive]

almost took it serious and clicked on it

[random gyro]

bro, I wanted to allocate the budget evenly

[raw olive]

you mean spending the same money for the case and the gpu?

[muted quarry]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Hf28v4
what improvements can i make? try to keep around the same price tho

[limpid dune]

$12,000 is a bit much for a 2Tb SSD, you should aim for more like $11,000

[random gyro]

case is 440, gpu is 100

[random gyro]

what about the rest of the pc, I figured the athlon x2 + 6400 was a good combo

[elder quarry]

huh

[raw olive]

looks like a reasonable build to me

[elder quarry]

cpu cooler: 74$. CPU: 14$

[random gyro]

at least go for a Phantom

[muted quarry]

ok sounds good

[raw olive]

i ban you from thinking
youre not allowed to think anymore

[random gyro]

so you're saying I should get the 6500xt?

[limpid dune]

check out the price tag on the SSD, I think it's sub optimal

[random gyro]

I have the CMF buds 2

[muted quarry]

does the type of thermal paste matter?

[random gyro]

$6500???????

[random gyro]

eh, not really

[limpid dune]

choose wisely, my son... 2TB intel SSD, or dual SLI 5090s

[random gyro]

2tb ssd

[random gyro]

tbh… not really, i just use arctic mx4

hold on, actually

[elder quarry]

oh he's a troll

[muted quarry]

ok

[limpid dune]

a little, but the 7600X isn't a very hot chip so I think the normal paste will be fine

[random gyro]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Dr3ksp

[random gyro]

just having some fun, play along ❤️

[elder quarry]

no offense but I genuinely thought you thought that was good

not the ssd

[random gyro]

i kinda figured that out from the athlon cpu that’s slower than the one i had in my very first personal pc

[random gyro]

someone should build this
world record bottleneck system

[random gyro]

I do kinda want to

but I aint got the moneys

[elder quarry]

not wr

[limpid dune]

remember, one stick can only do single-channel. get twenty sticks of RAM to unlock eighteen more channels

[elder quarry]

ddr

[random gyro]

dd

[muted quarry]

do i still need to buy windows on top of this? https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/j8LBJn

[elder quarry]

yes

[random gyro]

yall see either the welcome to derry, jurassic world rebirth, superman trailer?

[elder quarry]

well linux

or activate win

[muted quarry]

if i already have another pc could i just download windows off of that?

[abstract wigeon]

£5 for a 500gb nvme is good deal right

[abstract wigeon]

if you already own windows you dont need to buy it again

[random gyro]

yup

[elder quarry]

oem lisence

[abstract wigeon]

then you dont own windows

[elder quarry]

tru

[muted quarry]

how do i transfer windows tho from one to the other?

[abstract wigeon]

you wont, find your activation key

[muted quarry]

oh ok

[abstract wigeon]

then reinstall a fresh windows image onto your new pc, and shove in that key and it activates it

[random gyro]

jingle bells mate

Tf is this

[muted quarry]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/j8LBJn should i start buying parts or should i wait till i can afford it all?

[limpid dune]

come up with a small list of equivalent parts (ie. other GPUs you'd be willing to compromise on), and watch their prices every day for a week or two - or look at related price graphs

I bought my 7900X3D on 65% sale, but the sale only lasted one day

[muted quarry]

idk really on what other things to look at, mainly because i am still new to this and the build i am looking at i didn't make myself

[rigid fjord]

you don't need the paste, the cooler already comes with it, as for buying it in pieces or bulk, that's up to you on whichever is easier

[muted quarry]

oh ok

[glass perch]

I fw that pfp

[muted quarry]

i have $500 that i want to spend atm what should i buy

[muted quarry]

haha thanks

[glass perch]

Like in PC parts??

[muted quarry]

yea from this
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Hf28v4

[glass perch]

Intel rx 5900

Okay

[glass perch]

Save up

Buying pc parts one by ones pretty messy to me idk

Id rather buy in bulk

[muted quarry]

oh ok then, i will wait a few weeks

[rigid fjord]

i would do mobo, cpu and ram

[rigid fjord]

it's only messy if you're trying to do that while waiting for discounts

[muted quarry]

whats the mobo?

[glass perch]

Motherboard

[elder quarry]

shipping will get expemsive

[muted quarry]

yea got it as soon as i sent it

[rigid fjord]

MOtherBOard

[glass perch]

MB

May Be

Mother Board

[rigid fjord]

it's expesive wether they get it in bulk or in pieces for where they are

[muted quarry]

should i get the case too?

[rigid fjord]

MB= MegaBytes

[stray cairn]

@formal prism

[glass perch]

Might Be

[rigid fjord]

you could get that the next time

[rigid fjord]

no

[muted quarry]

ok

[stray cairn]

No benchmarks too so I can’t quantify the difference between regular DGX’s and Spark

I already asked the people on GTC and no public benchmarks for the Spark and RTX Pro

[formal prism]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/on-demand/session/gtc25-s74680/

Around 37:30 someone asked but presenter wouldn't give it :/. That was back in march, but surely they know by now

[stray cairn]

They don’t

[formal prism]

soon™️

[stray cairn]

Even the guy who supposed to explain it to us didn’t know about it

The only thing I know is this guy

Grace CPU w/ B300 GPU

Last keynote for today.

[stray cairn]

Yes that is 3 600W VHPWR connector

[formal prism]

how could they possibly not know at this stage. It's like 5-8 weeks out

[stray cairn]

Btw the bro said the Spark can be considered as a “develop a small scale here and pipe it to prod on bigger machine”

Which is extremely vague.

[stray cairn]

I’ll ask them again once this one is finished. Any particular questions?

Btw they can be daisy chained. Not NVLink.

[formal prism]

I can't believe they expect people to pre-order something that doesn't list core counts.

[formal prism]

Literally just CUDA, tensor, and RT core counts

[stray cairn]

Ok. Will ask again.

[stray cairn]

RTX Pro too. But all I know is you can buy them individually.

[formal prism]

There's so much cool tech in the thing that they have shared, but leaving out core counts seems very odd. Gives a vibe that it's gonna be mostly just a tensor core machine

[formal prism]

yea, connect-x 7 is pretty cool. nvlink is only used on-die to the grace cpu. Mini clusters could be crazy

[stray cairn]

If this sends the same performance as 8x V100’s, work would build 10x clusters of Sparks

Its 5k a pop

[stray cairn]

Oh and it also have OEM flavors

Asus, Lenovo, Acer

[formal prism]

yikes, it was $4000 only a couple months ago...

[stray cairn]

I forgot if its $4999 or 3999

[sharp moss]

Hey guys

Any clue whats up with my router? After unplugging it and plugging it back in around 2 hours ago all lights are off except power.

Ive tried hard resetting and unplugging it and plugging it back in neither work

[unborn bridge]

Hey guys, i am a Canadian citizen and I work at Outlier, but right now I am in Jordan for the summer vacation. I want to work online and use a VPN since Outlier is limited to Canadians and a few other countries. However, I downloaded ProtonVPN, but Outlier detected it and kicked me out. What solutions are available for me in this situation?

[stray cairn]

Lmao.

[formal prism]

Looks like it's still $4k for Nvidia's and Asus is still listed at $3k. Maybe some OEMs were always $5k, I hadn't checked before

[gusty wagon]

Not Canada, still across the border

[stray cairn]

I forgot but my 5K price tag somehow felt right

[frail delta]

Contact your employer

[glacial kraken]

How tf does a phone stay people's pockets mine falls out if I sit down every time

[plush wren]

dont have such big pockets

[glacial kraken]

I can't change that 💔

[frail delta]

Except you literally can

[versed ferry]

So I got my first Raspberry Pi. Of course I went with the biggest one that's also the most complicated because it really isn't meant for end users. Genius.

Honestly don't even know what I'm going to do with it now that I have it built and the OS loaded. 🙃

Only reason I went with a Compute Module 4 instead of something more reasonable is because I got two Compute Modules for free. Definitely going to get a more reasonable, and better spec raspberry pi next time.

[glacial kraken]

i cant redesign the school uniform

[frail delta]

You literally can modify it though

[boreal vine]

fuck you thomas

[frail delta]

Fuck you Alfie

[boreal vine]

you wish

[frail delta]

Nuh uh

[glacial kraken]

i dont wanna sew every pair of pant

this didnt happen with my old phone

[frail delta]

Poor little baby

[boreal vine]

yuh uh

[frail delta]

Nuh uh

[glacial kraken]

it is annoying to have my phone risk breaking if i sit down

[swift moss]

is this fine? is the fact that they are NOT change anything?

can i plug these into the same things?

[frail delta]

Then fix your fucking pants

[glacial kraken]

how will that even help then they will be too small to fit anything else

[frail delta]

You only have to close up a tiny bit of the opening of the pocket

[rigid fjord]

basically serial pins, you could join rts to cts if i remember correctly

[swift moss]

cool, are these required for esp32 programming though?

i might try that if they are required

[rigid fjord]

rts = ready to send, cts = clear to send

[glacial kraken]

so it is the same size as the phone?

idk how to sew but i could ask my mum to or i could just deal with it till i get my new phne

[frail delta]

Ask your mum and do some problem solving together
