ill get a startup screen once I reverse engineer a prompt for Google Gemini 2.5 Pro to perfectly add graphics modes to my OS

[low sage]

Oh okay sweet. so it supports last gens like 7900 xt and also supports next gen like 50 series n 90 series?

[spring latch]

the PCIe version doesnt matter for support, it matters for bandwidth

[fallen hawk]

as long as its a pcie connector, it can take sny pcie card

[low sage]

Wait its sad I did not know this.

[fallen hawk]

other than the m.2

[low sage]

Okay so i can literally plug in like a 5070 & it'll be fine

[spring latch]

fuck m.2

[fallen hawk]

if you have a good power supply you could put in a 5090

[low sage]

I got a 1000w corsair rmx LOL

Okay, sounds good. Thanks!

[fallen hawk]

[spring latch]

we need to go back to 2015

[low sage]

no dude

I was only eight years old.

[dapper dragon]

Only on 1 m.2 slot

[spring latch]

i mean in terms of technology

[low sage]

Oh

[fallen hawk]

ehhhh

[spring latch]

with the GTX 980

[low sage]

yeah I liked the old xbox one, the black brick. Where the game disc bay would break

[spring latch]

I miss my gateway dx 4770

i5 3330 and 8GB DDR3 1600MHz was like pretty good in 2015

not gaming, but even then

[low sage]

when did Nvidia stop SLI & when did AMD stop cross fire? sorta lame they stopped

[fallen hawk]

i hate sli

UEFI Class 3 is the worst thing ever

[fallen hawk]

YES

[spring latch]

a computer without any legacy support is fucking gay

theres CSMWrap, sure, but its unstable as fuck

[fallen hawk]

microsoft goin full 1984 with uefi

[spring latch]

UEFI "Unified" my ass

[broken trellis]

They just make bigger cards now.

[spring latch]

yk what computer I want?

[fallen hawk]

the counter strike pc

[spring latch]

I want a 2005 laptop with a Pentium M 780 and a GeForce 6800 Go

best laptop gaming of the mid 2000s probably

the Pentium M was probably the best 2000s pentium, instead of bein P4 based, it was Pentium III based making it immediately less hot, and more preformant

[dapper dragon]

What GPU are you using with it

[low sage]

rx 7900 xt

[spring latch]

I use fedora :)

[fallen hawk]

i dual boot

[spring latch]

fedora is smaller than ubuntu, bigger than debian and arch. perfect for my pentium silver

[distant frigate]

Let’s gooo I made it

They didn't get much out of them to begin with, so it made sense to.

[spring latch]

[distant frigate]

Lmaooo

It’s clash royale

[fallen hawk]

whats yalls take on this

[steel umbra]

no, it’s boom beach

[fallen hawk]

no its angry birds

[steel umbra]

that’s not a supercell game, banned.

[spring latch]

no its block build 3d

[rose stream]

No, it's Dragon City.

[spring latch]

no its Cat Snackbar

[rose stream]

Wait, that is an actual game?

[spring latch]

yes.

[rose stream]

W a t .

[spring latch]

anyways I mis-saw its actually NYT Games

[spring latch]

sooner or later when I get money to myself im going back a few years and building a PC with a 4770K

[river harbor]

look its demoman tf2

[spring latch]

my FX 4300 was ironiclly my fastest system somehow

[fallen hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/mate-cheers-demoman-gif-18514440

[spring latch]

with an intel stock cooler, I got 4.8GHz on my FX 4300

[fallen hawk]

how

[spring latch]

idfk

the stock cooler came from an i5 3330

[river harbor]

dont go back a few years more or you'll suffer

[spring latch]

my motherboard limited me to 1.55V, I could've easily pushed past 5GHz if it let me get to even 1.6V

[river harbor]

the core 2 quads did not hold up well

[spring latch]

apparently there was even core 2 solo CPUs

[fallen hawk]

huh???

[spring latch]

they only got distributed in the hundreds on accident, iirc as intel genuine cpus, like the Intel Genuine Processor 2200 or something like that'

[fallen hawk]

thats mental

anyway i still gotta choose to upgrade my mbd or not

[spring latch]

I hate modern hardware

[fallen hawk]

i like that some of it is universal

i wish all of it was

like agp

or pci

[spring latch]

hence why I really want a 4770K or something, its going to hold up for a little while longer

and I could make it hold up for another 10 years

mannnn i also love ifixit (sometimes)

[candid citrus]

iBreakit then iFixit

[spring latch]

i put a GTX 760 in a helleron J pc with no power cables
I'm sure you can guess how that went..

[iron glen]

usually iBreakit and then weFixit

[fallen hawk]

iphone 4 is rlly easy to fix in comparison to mdoern ones

[candid citrus]

do i need the kit if i have the phone open?

[spring latch]

Fun Fact: Crystal oscillators really hate constant power cycles from a PSU. That's how my i5 3330 PC broke

[fallen hawk]

i would recomend it but if its open like the guide explains then no

just also get the battery cheese

i mean yeah but also the adhesive tape so it doesnt rattle in there

[candid citrus]

i have hot glue

[fallen hawk]

but if its just a project then it doesnt matter

[spring latch]

Screw the screw

[fallen hawk]

do it /j

[candid citrus]

i will make it slightly cold hot glue

[fallen hawk]

no but fr use like thin double sided tape

[candid citrus]

oki

[fallen hawk]

or just search up iphone 4 battery adhesive

[candid citrus]

im a cheapass

[fallen hawk]

yeah same i just use gorilla double sided tape

just dont expect it to be repairable after that

Is windows 12 real or just a meme? I have been out of the loop.

[candid citrus]

i think thats a meme

might be real at some point, but for now it’s just a meme

[halcyon grail]

can someone help me

[grizzled frost]

https://dontasktoask.com

tldr; don’t ask for “help”, just state your problem with as much detail as possible, or ask your question

[steel umbra]

enhanced telemetry with microsoft copilot+++ ultra that comes preinstalled and enabled to collect your data with microsoft windows 12 home

🧌

[grizzled frost]

microsoft 12 knows what website you want to go to before you even touch the keyboard

[formal sonnet]

Nowhere on Microsoft's consumer site do they mention Windows 12, so where did you hear this?

[grizzled frost]

oh did it go to the wrong website? no it didn’t, you just didn’t know what website you really wanted to go to

[steel umbra]

i assume the rumors

always take them with a grain of salt especially if the leaker isn’t known

[silent scarab]

I assumed it was a meme but people keep saying don't upgrade to 11. 12 is coming in a few months.

[grizzled frost]

it’s a meme

[formal sonnet]

News to me. 🤷 I believe what is real, not what people make up.

[grizzled frost]

win12 coming out shouldn’t stop you from updating to win11 anyways, since you could just update from win11 to win12

[steel umbra]

windows 12 is not officially or unofficially confirmed by microsoft or their employees nor any reliable leaker

so no specific date, it’s unlikely to come within couple of months

what are your machine specs

and what mod loader

[kind temple]

can anyone help me rq
i have absolutely terrible 1% lows all the time but 5070 ti and r7 5800x
ive tried everything and im thinking it is a defective cpu
can anyone help?

[charred kiln]

mod loader is fabric, I am using the fabulously optimized modpack, and I have a 3070Ti and a 12400F

[grizzled frost]

honestly probably due to shit nvidia drivers atm

[random gyro]

I run Linux with an AMD GPU so I don't really get stuttering in UE5 games cos steam shader precaching 😎

[charred kiln]

16GB of ram

[charred kiln]

I am broke so I have to deal with game pass, so no linux

I do have linux on my laptop tho

[charred kiln]

ah shit its bazzite

no sudo dnf for you

anyway is UE5 that AMD optimized?

[random gyro]

Yeah it's just sudo rpm-ostree instead

[plush wren]

[charred kiln]

I hate fedora based distros so its not for me

especially when big picture mode exists

[random gyro]

It's got nothing to do with AMD it's got everything to do with Steam and AMD and Linux. If you run Linux and have an AMD GPU then steam will upload compiled shaders so other users with the same GPU can download them

A good example of where this works really well is the Steam deck

[charred kiln]

interesting

[random gyro]

I ran fedora and switched to bazzite

[charred kiln]

anyways I am getting a 9070XT soon

[rough perch]

Has anybody else had the problem with windows where you press shut down and then nothing happens for a few minutes until it then turns off?

[random gyro]

Windows being unpredictable

[charred kiln]

I started out with mint, then pop_os, then arch, then manjaro

[charred kiln]

one of the reason I switched to linux in the first place

but no I am back cuz microsoft

[random gyro]

Think I went Ubuntu, Debian, then a few Debian forks then mint then arch them fedora then fedora then fedora then Bazzite

[rough perch]

I happened on my old pc but I just built a new one and it didn’t do it at the start but now it does after I installed all my games

[random gyro]

Last fedora I used was kinoite

[charred kiln]

my laptop is pop os tho ;)

[random gyro]

I'm not overly fond of Debian based stuff

[charred kiln]

I tried ubuntu in a vm ages ago

[random gyro]

Ubuntu 🤢

[charred kiln]

I had the best time in arch

[random gyro]

Arch is great

And I'm not just saying that for the memes

[night coral]

i made a post and no one was able to asnwer me :(

[charred kiln]

fuck the memes, I don't even think arch is that difficult to use

[random gyro]

I mean it's not

I like slack as well

[charred kiln]

arch was also the distro I used the most out of the bunch

I liked how it comes with absolutely nothing on it except for the DE and all the other parts of the OS

used waaaaay less ram than windows

[buoyant bridge]

I just say on ubuntu

[charred kiln]

which is nice since I only got 16GB to work with

[buoyant bridge]

Windows on my main desktop, Ubuntu on my other one and my laptop

windows server on my servers

[static oyster]

I dual boot Windows and Ubuntu, got a macbook (m1) and an Ubuntu Server

[static oyster]

my condolences

[charred kiln]

I mean I don't want to be that guy but I really hate ubuntu

[static oyster]

really why? just cause of the company behind it

[buoyant bridge]

Windows server is just works even for advanced features

like TRY using a RMI on QEMU

[random gyro]

Steam have mercy on my CPU 😭

[buoyant bridge]

or god forbid partitioning a consumer GPU (only possible on windows server fun fact)

[fallen sky]

What the hell

[static oyster]

tf partitioning a GPU

[charred kiln]

I have a gaming laptop and I angry at myself that I didn't get a handheld and a macbook air as much as I hate apple

[buoyant bridge]

using 1 GPU for more then 1 guest

[charred kiln]

doom the dark ages?

[buoyant bridge]

its only possible on linux with special cards its made for

[static oyster]

oh getting the older m series is worth it for price to performance

[buoyant bridge]

on window server you can force most AMD gpus to support it

[static oyster]

aaaaaah ok do you like rent server space?

[buoyant bridge]

2 floor desktops and 6 dell R720s in my basement

[charred kiln]

tbh, all x86 laptops are dead to me rn

[river harbor]

do vms not do that

[buoyant bridge]

I even hooked up a split into my central air for the Dell R720s to where I can make them vent outside or vent into the AC

[static oyster]

daang i got an old dell desktop that im gonna start learning to homelab with

[river harbor]

or multiple users

[buoyant bridge]

no??? you use a virtual GPU for that

[static oyster]

NAAAH HAHAHHA

[buoyant bridge]

virtual GPUs are basically just CPU rendering

[buoyant bridge]

it actually cut like $700 off my heating bill a year its crazy

[river harbor]

what about being in multiple profiles at once

[buoyant bridge]

thats not what this is

GPU partitioning lets 2 guests use one GPU for acceleration

[random gyro]

2016, loved 2016, was disappointed by Eternal they made it two cartoony and the combat over complicated with too many cool downs etc, haven't really looked into the dark ages yet will probably wait for it to go on sale lol

[buoyant bridge]

GPU accel is all host/guest level not program level a OS can split up a GPU just fine

[charred kiln]

never played doom lmao

dude i barely ever charge my macbook, like once a week, I had an x86 chromebook that would last like 2 hours on a charge (tbf it was old but still)

I charge my thinkpad P16 like

[river harbor]

does 2016 have denuvo

[buoyant bridge]

once every 3-4 days?

i9 12900HK, 128GB DDR5, UHD 770 the battery life suprises me a LOT

[static oyster]

DDDDANG

[buoyant bridge]

the battery life was shit when I tried arch thou

[charred kiln]

I don't like how they lock it up for their ecosystem (diehard android user speaking) but eh, if it can work for some youtube videos and adobe (I know I know, I hate them too) it can work for me even if I ain't got an iPhone and an apple watch to go with it

[buoyant bridge]

i9 laptops aren't bad fyi apple just designed really bad ones

[grizzled frost]

128gb of ram but no GPU rip

[buoyant bridge]

why would I want a gpu in a laptop?

[charred kiln]

probably because of like windows power modes or shit like that

[grizzled frost]

incase you wanted to do like anything intensive, which the 128gb of ram would suggest

[buoyant bridge]

I use this for web applications lmfao I only have such good specs cus I got the laptop really cheap with a common issue and repaired it

[charred kiln]

or just propritary software that works for windows only

[random gyro]

That's just a matter of optimization. Do a bit of tweaking you can get better battery life out of linux

[charred kiln]

or im a dumbass which is very much a possibility

[buoyant bridge]

its on ubuntu...

[charred kiln]

ok im a dumbass

[static oyster]

idk people say that you need all apple to make it worth it but its mostly just convenience other than that its just a unix laptop

[buoyant bridge]

I get 3-4 days of battery on ubuntu I got 2-6 hours on arch

[static oyster]

128gb RAM for webapps is insane 😭

[grizzled frost]

@azure topaz i'll be upgrading to dual 2690v4's soon, i will join you in owning a 2690v4

[buoyant bridge]

the laptop was $60

[static oyster]

SIXTY DOLLARS

[grizzled frost]

how much ram are you running on your machine btw?

[buoyant bridge]

I had to desolder a thunderbolt controller and replace it but thats all that was wrong with it

[random gyro]

That I can believe

[charred kiln]

I am not a fan of ecosystems no matter which 1B+ corpo made it

[buoyant bridge]

$8 part killed a $2600 laptop resulting in me getting it for $60

[static oyster]

valid take

[grizzled frost]

apple ecosystem so nice tho...

[random gyro]

Over 100gb of my 192gb of ram is used just by my filesystem

[static oyster]

what part 😭

[grizzled frost]

everything just works together

[buoyant bridge]

Thunderbolt controller

[static oyster]

uh oh i started something

[charred kiln]

hell, fucking, nah, and I tried it so I can say it

[static oyster]

no way that bricked the whole machine

[grizzled frost]

I tried it, and it's amazing

[buoyant bridge]

most thinkpads have a combined thunderbolt and charge controller since the late 2010s

[azure topaz]

yipppiiieee

[buoyant bridge]

if the thunderbolt controller dies so does the charge controller

[charred kiln]

FOR REAL?

[azure topaz]

it’s meta chip for the money and clock

[grizzled frost]

i got the watch, the mac, the phone, the airpods, they just work seemlessly

[static oyster]

i mentioned apple ecosystem big mistake

[buoyant bridge]

if the thinkpads with dual batteries have their thunderbolt controllers fail unless they're the far and few models with a regular charger connector they wont even turn on

[grizzled frost]

I looked at a 2697v4 for a second, but it had worse single thread and not significantly better multithread, so i'd rather the slightly fewer cores and higher clock of the 2690v4

at some point i'll upgrade to 512gb ddr4, but for now it's just 32gb since that's what the server shipped with

[static oyster]

that is straight up horrible design

[charred kiln]

I could not stand the annoying-ness of the iPhone, it was buggy as hell, felt slow and the menus were clunky as hell, the one I hated with a passion was the quick settings

[random gyro]

Same reason I went with dual 2667 v4

[buoyant bridge]

The thunderbolt controller failures are extremely rare on litterally all thinkpads except the godchild ones (T400/T500 series)

[azure topaz]

legit i had the same plan and mathed the 2690 v4 to be the meta

[charred kiln]

also I hate bluetooth so I use IEMs with the stupid dongle

[buoyant bridge]

like the reason nobody does the replacements on any thinkpads other then the T400/T500 is its super rare

mine was part of a recall of 92 units that where all the same spec and all had the same issue

[grizzled frost]

i came to the same conclusion; i'll be getting a matched pair to ensure compatibility

[azure topaz]

slay

[grizzled frost]

i hate bluetooth as well, but i don't mind the airpod bluetooth

[static oyster]

"I hate the product but not the apple product" 😭

[charred kiln]

not really for that, I hate to have batteries on audio

[buoyant bridge]

I've been using the soundcore P20i earbuds

really fucking nice with windows because you can disable headset mode on them

[charred kiln]

like those dudes that think an android feature is a gimmick till apple "invents" it and its a breakthrough

[random gyro]

I have AirPods Max, I use them with android.

[grizzled frost]

I just recently got a dell r630 to use the 2690v4s with

[buoyant bridge]

(headset mode is why you get such shit sound quality in games and calls on windows and linux PCs with bluetooth earbuds)

[static oyster]

i got a pair of ath-m30x's for mixing and they are pristine

[grizzled frost]

I've tried other wireless headphones, they just don't work as well with my devices

the automatic bluetooth switching between my phone and mac is beautiful

[buoyant bridge]

airpods where insanely well made lol

[random gyro]

My precious

[buoyant bridge]

theres only like very recent okay competition to them that isnt also double the price

[grizzled frost]

and trust me, i'm not a pure apple fanboy, i have a windows desktop and plenty of random server OSes

[charred kiln]

I have HD6XXs at my setup and KS ZSN Pro for earbuds stuff

[charred kiln]

gollum

[buoyant bridge]

(pixel buds pro, and a few phillips models are basically all the competition there is to the airpods)

[grizzled frost]

i have a pair of SHP9600s at my desk

[static oyster]

i said this before but the ecosystem is really just convenience, cause changing bluetooth connections with my nothing ear a's kinda suck

[grizzled frost]

i don't like wireless for desk use, but the mobility of wireless is a no brainer for when i'm working and the such

[charred kiln]

if it works for you...

[grizzled frost]

it is convenience, and i like that convenience

[plush wren]

i love wireless

[buoyant bridge]

yknow my grandma didnt know these existed?

she asked me to DRILL A HOLE IN HER FUCKING CABINET for the microwave

[plush wren]

idk what this is

[random gyro]

US sockets 🤢

[buoyant bridge]

and i showed her this 😭

[charred kiln]

ecosystems are a pain for me

[buoyant bridge]

its a flat plug adapter for a US outlet

[static oyster]

USA USA USA USA\

[grizzled frost]

I love the idea of these, but i also hate that they only work with sockets mounted that way instead of the superior ground up way

[fathom hatch]

why it so shocked

[buoyant bridge]

silence 2600W user

I will enjoy my 4400W at each receptacle in peace

[static oyster]

sorry *convenient for everyone who buys into it

[grizzled frost]

actually the mouth is so you don't get shocked

[plush wren]

which is for what

[charred kiln]

ecosystems make me feel like I am getting squeezed out of my money and I am not into that at all

[buoyant bridge]

outlets that have stuff in front of them?

[grizzled frost]

it's just more flat against the wall than standard plugs

[fathom hatch]

uk plugs>

[plush wren]

[fathom hatch]

the one thing we're good at

[charred kiln]

uk plugs for life

[charred kiln]

that and fish and chips

[fathom hatch]

true

[buoyant bridge]

silence no dedicated ground options, no tie bars, no HFCI, no GFDI, low power compared to US outlets too

[grizzled frost]

most us plugs look like this, or the variation with a ground pin

[charred kiln]

for everything else you guys are useless

[grizzled frost]

they stick out really bad

[buoyant bridge]

why is the fucking outlet upside down

[plush wren]

Beans

[charred kiln]

oh you never tried the EU plug

[grizzled frost]

correct, i have not

never travelled outside the US

[buoyant bridge]

I have I have!

[charred kiln]

that shit comes off if you look at it wrong

[buoyant bridge]

I hate them because they refuse to use modern safety systems and rely on interlocks for everything

[grizzled frost]

I bloody hate the US plugs, but it's what we have to work with

[fathom hatch]

yeah we can't do anything

[plush wren]

Is an air fryer Worth it

[fathom hatch]

yes

[buoyant bridge]

like yeah the EU outlets are almost all safer then US outlets from the 1960s but we applied gun tech and weapons tech into our electrical system to make it safer without interlocks

[fathom hatch]

I love my air fryer

[charred kiln]

I love mine

[plush wren]

everyone be saying ts

[trim gyro]

not necessary imo

[random gyro]

3120w*

[buoyant bridge]

meanwhile EU outlet's most adanced safety feature is a bastardized version of the GFCI that has its own integraded tie bar

[buoyant bridge]

I can still pull 4400W at a single duplex with dedicated grounds and neutrals

[charred kiln]

the UK one is the best.

[buoyant bridge]

why no tie bar

[charred kiln]

speaking of air fryers

[fathom hatch]

I remember putting together a UK plug back in school, very easy

[charred kiln]

ima make some fries/chips

[buoyant bridge]

US outlets can litterally be done while drunk with the power on

[charred kiln]

[buoyant bridge]

[plush wren]

Bye

[fathom hatch]

enjoy

[plush wren]

r u saying eu plugs Cant

[buoyant bridge]

unless you're running appliance or commercial electrical stuff the US wiring can't kill you

the EU ones certaintly can

[halcyon grail]

guys my computer is broken how do i make it so i can install windows again

it’s either stuck on bios or yhis menu

That all

[fathom hatch]

un break it

[halcyon grail]

..

[plush wren]

how pal

[halcyon grail]

@grizzled frost

[buoyant bridge]

on a normal outlet yeah, my garrage has an outlet that can run 9600W lol

[buoyant bridge]

120V 20A is harmless

the most youll get in a US outlet box is 120v 20A (x2)

[grizzled frost]

click troubleshoot, then send a pic of what it shows

[plush wren]

Bro what

20 amps

[buoyant bridge]

which because of how US 240V works you can get 240V 40A with that

[grizzled frost]

very much not, it can and will kill you

[grizzled frost]

240v 20a*

[buoyant bridge]

dawg ive litterally connected 240V 40A across my body before

120V ain't gonna do SHIT

[grizzled frost]

that option

[plush wren]

ts false

[grizzled frost]

hi, so you're wrong, 120v can and will kill you

[halcyon grail]

i tried start up repair it said it can do nothing

[buoyant bridge]

I'm a liscensed electrican in 2 states 😭

[charred kiln]

ok nvm

[grizzled frost]

please do not spread dangerous misinformation

[fathom hatch]

tech tip: don't buy a sony camera, they are shit

[charred kiln]

I forgot I live with other people in this house and they're asleep and air fryers make noise

[fathom hatch]

ok well they're not shit but canon and Nikon are better

[charred kiln]

not like cannon is better

[buoyant bridge]

120V 20A cannot kill you. I've been shocked by 120V 20A so much its harmless. the only time its lethal is if your pannel is wired incorrectly with no tie bar which in that case yes it can certainly kill you

[fathom hatch]

but canon is better!!

[plush wren]

chat 40 amps

[fathom hatch]

the only downside to canon is that they're a bit odd about who can make third party lenses and what batteries you use on some cameras

[charred kiln]

so if someone shakes ur hand they're cooked?

[buoyant bridge]

idk mabye

[charred kiln]

ok stay away

[buoyant bridge]

that tie bar in US pannels seems stupid but its litterally a basic ass feature that saves countless lives

[plain cypress]

Only counts if the wires are hot

[buoyant bridge]

it prevents a hot to hot short or a hot to neutral short from bypassing a standard breaker

[buoyant bridge]

240V jumps through gloves I've had accidents where L1 and L2 are on opposite hands

[plain cypress]

Ooooo spill the tea

[buoyant bridge]

european 240V will 100% kill you because theres L1 and N1

[charred kiln]

I was about to type "did you die" but then realized how fucking stupid that would sound considering you are literally here

[fathom hatch]

gave my camera the signature MK2 look

[plain cypress]

Shouldn't it be II

[buoyant bridge]

basically US 240V is connecting L1 (120V) and L2 (120) while EU 240V is connecting L1 (240V) and N1 (neutral)

[plush wren]

Already Bought One

[fathom hatch]

bad ergonomics, bad menus and some of their cameras just break💀

[fathom hatch]

yes but no

[charred kiln]

ok Ima go found something else to eat

[plain cypress]

I mean rad, nice Leica red dot

[buoyant bridge]

enjoy the insanity of the US electrical grid <3

[plain cypress]

Agreed
Agreed
Can't speak to that

[fathom hatch]

one day I shall own a Leica

[plain cypress]

Uhhh the full frames have fine ergo tbh

But Sony crop bodies are abysmal

[fathom hatch]

I used a Sony A7 something the other day and it wasn't amazing

not terrible, but just not amazing

[formal sonnet]

I could say this about Canon and Nikon too, and I shoot Canon. 😉 At the end of the day, the best camera is the one you have with you. All of them have menus upon nonsensical menus, little of which is customizable.

[swift moss]

ah shit, here we go again

[fathom hatch]

i love the ergonomics and menus on my canon

[plush wren]

Wouldnt a cage just fix this issue

[fathom hatch]

not the ergonomics on my old one though (canon M50)

[fathom hatch]

yeah probably but I never buy a cage for my camera

[plain cypress]

I think canon has a bit nicer ergo than Sony
Canon software is significantly better than Sony's old software

New sony software is fine

[plush wren]

[plain cypress]

But in general, Sony and software = ugh

[fathom hatch]

I need to upgrade to full frame soon

aps-c and 32.5mp indoors is not very nice

[halcyon grail]

my phone died again it did nothing though

[plain cypress]

FF DSLR are cheap

[fathom hatch]

true

[limpid ivy]

lol the troubleshooting I have done for those when DP and Camera Assistants don't know a thing is fun.

[formal sonnet]

Was just gonna say, the main reason I went with a Canon M6 MarkII instead of a Sony A6xxx series is because Sony didn't have a model with the new processor + menu system out yet. Old Sony camera menus: 🤮 New menus: 👌

[limpid ivy]

aka hiddden menus

[fathom hatch]

but I only have one EF lens that still works

[fathom hatch]

rest in peace my 70-200

[swift moss]

menacing ahh

[buoyant bridge]

14,400W the european mind cannot fathom it

[charred kiln]

I have an idea

Quiet air fryer 🤯

[plain cypress]

My roommate has an a6400 and the software is so horrendous

[swift moss]

where is this?

[grizzled frost]

now pull up one of the 480v plugs

[plain cypress]

I got the 5DMK4 cause it was FF and fully lens compatible with my film bodies

[limpid ivy]

rip I had a 17-40 fall once smashed the manual focus ring so I used auto for sometime before the person that dropped it paid me with a replacement.

[fathom hatch]

just remembered my £12 35mm film camera

[empty quartz]

I love having 2 hot wires, 1 ground, and 1 neutral/return

[plush wren]

prob would cost quite a lot

[plain cypress]

I don't technically have the best bodies for EF tho

But EOS-1V and 1DX mk whatever are just too expensive, plus pretty damn bulky

[fathom hatch]

some of my focus ring screws have come loose but they just won't tighten again

[plain cypress]

I need to get a wide angle prime

[charred kiln]

Idgaf I want to be able to make my fries at 4 am

[limpid ivy]

damn I do not get tired of doing photography for events/bts on film sets every so often.

[fathom hatch]

I could never use mine for photos (Samsung a15)

camera Vs phone😭

[charred kiln]

Idk my pixel gives a good enough result

[fathom hatch]

switching to iPhone soon so hopefully I'll have a slightly better camera on one of them

[charred kiln]

Would just go for a good android lol

[limpid ivy]

ah yea you'll see it. Comparing shots from my 5d mark iv and 16 pro, there's a difference but the phone passes well enough.

[fathom hatch]

yeah but there's reasons I need an iPhone that an android just can't do

[charred kiln]

Interesting, which ones?

[fathom hatch]

well it's a long story

[charred kiln]

I'm listening

[limpid ivy]

lol all ears👀

[fathom hatch]

basically, my dad was in a car accident last year, so he has to use an iPad because of the accessibility features, so me and my mum are switching to iPhones so we can facetime him and stuff like that

made it a very short story

[charred kiln]

You can use facetime on an Android, but it sucks

So yeah valid

[fathom hatch]

yeah

also an iphone can download raw files from my camera using the canon app (which is a terrible app ik) but it would be nice if I need to edit when I'm travelling

[charred kiln]

Since my entire family are iPhone users I will soon have a lot of hand me down iphones so I could use facetime anyway

I would also say that I could use an apple watch that way but do I look like I go outside?

[limpid ivy]

Can't you also control the camera through the app? I remember being able to do that with my M50 Mark II.

[fathom hatch]

only watch I use is a Casio digital one

[fathom hatch]

yeah you can

I loved my M50

[charred kiln]

I don't use a watch, I have a phone. Duh.

[fathom hatch]

sadly the SD card slot died

[limpid ivy]

short lived line

and a stupid lens mount that was discontiued fast

[fathom hatch]

yeah very stupid lens mount

should've just used EF or made the RF with them cameras

[limpid ivy]

Sigma was the only one that made something for it outside of canon iirc

[fathom hatch]

I think samyang did something

[limpid ivy]

ah them too

[fathom hatch]

I wish rf glass wasn't so expensive

[limpid ivy]

Cine lenses is a whole other thing for me.

[buoyant bridge]

the united states

[limpid ivy]

then again working with cinema cameras that is another thing

[buoyant bridge]

wait till you learn how US 480V is made

[fathom hatch]

I've never been into video too much but I did do some slow motion footage of rollercoasters the other day

still in log though and I haven't graded them💀

[plain cypress]

That is way too wide

[fathom hatch]

not on aps-c

[plain cypress]

Oh wait, crop body?

[fathom hatch]

yeah

[limpid ivy]

last thing I used lol.

things a workout if you're not use to that much weight

going handheld without any support

[plain cypress]

Yeah I'm not sure what to get
Partial to the idea of a 35mm prime cause it's a classic

24mm is a bit more versatile when shooting digital tho since I can always crop in a bit

[fathom hatch]

just wide enough to allow me to get this photo though which I really like

[plain cypress]

And 28mm.... exists

[fathom hatch]

does look heavy

[plain cypress]

I do find one of the modern digital point and shoots to be appealing

Cause I'd love to have my 5d on me all the time, but ya know....pockets

[fathom hatch]

yeah

solution for that is bigger pockets

[charred kiln]

This looks ai generated (sorry)

[plain cypress]

I think there is a canon m series that's pretty slim and there's a pretty slim efm lens

But gr3x is smaller and lighter

[plain cypress]

😭

[fathom hatch]

nooooo

[fathom hatch]

canon m100 with a 22mm is pocketable

[formal sonnet]

There was. 😦 Canon killed it less than 2 years after I invested. 😄 https://www.dpreview.com/news/1138973177/canon-officially-discontinues-eos-m-cameras-ef-m-system

[limpid ivy]

My diabolical conversions

[formal sonnet]

Nice. I have the same Viltrox lens adapter. Works well. Doesn't cost what the Canon one costs.

[fathom hatch]

wow, never seen a white m50

[limpid ivy]

it ain't white anymore

[fathom hatch]

my viltrox one broke after a year😭

[charred kiln]

Gotta love when other people speak about shit I know absolutely nothing about

[limpid ivy]

lol also another adapter on top of that cause I have a minolta AF mount lens pre-sony acquisition.

[charred kiln]

Except for pressing the shutter button, that I know how to do

[fathom hatch]

well, that's better than what my friends know

[swift moss]

With your puny 120v lines? How come Europe can't have this?

[plain cypress]

Okay but what if I wanna style skinny jeans in the future

[limpid ivy]

so pretty much all manual focus and aperture

[fathom hatch]

too bad

your fault for wanting to style skinny jeans

[plain cypress]

Why do you still have an m series

[limpid ivy]

got it for 300$ a while back

[fathom hatch]

I love buying my gear off mpb

[buoyant bridge]

dawg thats a 240V line

[limpid ivy]

along with a sigma 17-50 f2.8 as a bonus so it was a killer combo already

[fathom hatch]

local cex camera stock😭

[buoyant bridge]

also our 120V lines r so small because they're solid copper, euro lines are stranded

solid can be roughly 2 gauges smaller and carry the same power as stranded

[swift moss]

Europe has 240v as well

[limpid ivy]

best I got around me is Samy's camera.

[swift moss]

Doesn't matter because space isn't a constraint in Europe, cost is

[limpid ivy]

And then there is B&H I got a student discount with.

[empty quartz]

Using 2 of the 240v lines?

Fun fact; north america has 240v to the house

But most of the recepticals are wired for 120v

[thorn pewter]

As a proud yee-haa person yeah Thats true

[swift moss]

vro what 😭

didnt know the ADV7623 was a male

this gotta be translated because english aint a feminine/masculine language 😭

[buoyant bridge]

using 2 120V lines and a 207V line

there's no such thing as a US 240V line

US 240V is 2 120V lines

[charred kiln]

may I politely call you a nerd?

[craggy cloak]

Curious if anyone knows this. PCIe slots can power up to 75 watts in a slot(x16). I'm assuming this will work for all slots on the motherboard? Ie say I had 2 GTX 1050s plugged into one computer, and they didn't have any external power plugs.

[craggy cloak]

I ran a RX 480 8gb and Sims 3 ran great! One of the rare 8gb cards from those times.(they are 30 dollars on eBay)

[azure dirge]

Noo I was playing on my PC and the power shut off instantly out of nowhere then it turned back on again automatically I should be good right forgot if you should do anything then

Would that ruin the SSD’s at all or no

[craggy cloak]

@azure dirge I don't think it will break the ssd, but it might corrupt data, although if you were able to reboot fine, 🤷I guess?

If that only happens when you are gaming, maybe you have a power supply issue?

[keen nacelle]

@serene quartz I took this with a garbage 28mm lens I think it's decent lol

the problem is... I don't even have a printer...

[formal sonnet]

Pretty decent for a wired link, assuming it's negotiating at Gigabit speeds. If it's negotiating at 2.5, 5, or 10Gig link speeds, and you're subscribed to faster than 1Gig internet, then something in the chain is holding it back.

[formal sonnet]

The Coax / DOCSIS equipment in their area is likely not fully High-split ready, which means their upload is limited to whatever speed the ISP has limited it to. Coax / DOCSIS 3.1/4+ can compete with FTTH (on speeds, not necessarily latency), but every link in the chain must be ready to do so.

before that i was on a corsair k something mouse that eventually broke and one of the sensors failed

[dusty mortar]

Then stick with your g502

[random gyro]

I was gonna get a wireless mouse to play roblox with on mobile

And keyboard

Bit dunno what to get

[buoyant bridge]

Just get a cheap Logitech set

[hot heart]

bro if youre on roblox you do not need that good of a mouse

[random gyro]

Its for roblox combat league

[buoyant bridge]

just get whatever the cheapest Logitech Bluetooth set is

gaming mice are all USB even the wireless ones

get something MX series if you want a nicer mouse

[random gyro]

I will check the prices

I woke up really dizzy

Gimme a sec

[buoyant bridge]

Master 2s BT is just a Logitech G mouse

but Bluetooth instead of USB and it's more ergonomic

[random gyro]

G502 lightspeed is 30 pound

Is that a good mouse

[buoyant bridge]

Are you getting a used mouse?

And yeah it's good just that's a USB dongle wireless not Bluetooth

You'll need a USB adapter if ur using it with a tablet/phone

[random gyro]

So what do I need for it to be bluetooth

Idk what to search for it to show fully wireless

[buoyant bridge]

To not get a gaming mouse

gaming mice aren't Bluetooth very often because of latency

[random gyro]

It says it can be used wireledsly im.confused

[buoyant bridge]

MX Master 3S is just a more expensive G305 Lightspeed with Bluetooth instead of Lightspeed

[buoyant bridge]

you need a USB dongle.

[random gyro]

Can u recommend a bluetooth mouse

But not too expensive

[buoyant bridge]

anything Logitech MX series really

they're all pretty good I'm just recommending a MX Master because I have a older one and it's been fine

The MX series and G series are twins a lot of the time just MX is more ergonomic with Bluetooth support while G is lower latency without bluetooth

[buoyant bridge]

You can just get something like this and use that mouse with your phone lol

Lightspeed mice just use a small USB dongle

This would be able to charge your phone and plug the dongle in (and if your phone supports HDMI out over USB C then also output to a monitor)

[rigid fjord]

that's providing the phone will recognise it

[buoyant bridge]

I've used a G502 Lightspeed with a Pixel Tablet before

[rigid fjord]

not all phones will

[buoyant bridge]

I think like any android device should

Besides Samsung

[rigid fjord]

tablets are not like phones though

[buoyant bridge]

Samsung only lets you use a mouse in Dex after like android 10

[buoyant bridge]

any android device with GMS will recognize it but Samsung blocks mice unless you're in Dex

[rigid fjord]

also, you can get bluetooth mice and keyboards designed to work with tablets straight away

[buoyant bridge]

^

they're just not listening to me on that I literally recommended that

Like.. that's one of the reasons I recommended Logitech MX specifically because all the Bluetooth stuff under MX supports phones officially

Android has had a USB HID driver since like android 7 so really any basic mouse will work it's gaming mice and stuff you'd have to worry about

(gaming mice typically use multiple devices electrically which phones may see as malicious)

[rigid fjord]

also the 'lightspeed' part just means it uses a form of 2.4ghz channel

[buoyant bridge]

Which is provided via a USB dongle

[buoyant bridge]

really any HID device you can plug into your phone aside from special mapped stuff like controllers SHOULD just work out of the box unless its a weird chinese phone or a samsung

[gusty sparrow]

Is a Corsair RM750X enough to power 7800X3D and a 5070TI?

[dusty mortar]

It’s Roblox

[latent pasture]

yes

[gleaming meteor]

anyone here own an arc b580? i have a question about a very specific thing and i cant find much info online

[hot heart]

what do you need? (i dont own one)

is it about resizeable bar?

[gleaming meteor]

im looking to buy a b580 but it apparently has no support for a specific texture format that the main game i play uses

[hot heart]

which texture format is that?

[gleaming meteor]

and i dont know if that spans across all intel graphics or not since the only community reports are on Iris XE

[gleaming meteor]

GFXFormatR11G11B10F, a HDR texture format for storing bloom data

like all that would prevent me from having is bloom otherwise the game runs perfect but as a modder i kinda need bloom lmao

and a b580 is like 70 euro less than a 4060 or a 3060 8gb

its also some goofy extension that few games use apparently according to the devs lmao

[hot heart]

it seems to be associated with stuff like vulkan, opengl, and directx 11

[gleaming meteor]

vk and dx11 are the games apis yes

[hot heart]

and some online said it was assocated with all three and another said that it was assocated with only two of them

even looking online theres barely any infomation

[gleaming meteor]

acc to vulkan's compatibility site its not supported but thats on release day, hence i want to check with someone who has the hardware and game

[hot heart]

have you tried the tech support channel? try making a post in there if you havent already

[gleaming meteor]

its a hardware extension directly in the silicon afaik, and vulkan has spotty support for it because its an extension mess

[gleaming meteor]

ive done so on the intel discord might as well try here tbh

done

honestly intel not adding features is like the staple of their gpu scene at this point

[hot heart]

im surprised that my 2700x has been able to hold on for this long

i hope the 5700x or the 5800xt drops below under 100 usd soon rather than 130 on sale for the 5800xt

[latent pasture]

4 cores and above with single thread past like sandy bridge is still decent at most stuff today

[hot heart]

single thread scores for zen 5 are about 4500

my single core score is about 2400

[hoary tree]

My new DDR5 memory arrived

[gleaming meteor]

ooo

[gleaming meteor]

in what software

[hoary tree]

I hope that my new motherboard will too arrive today

[gleaming meteor]

imma run r23 on my 5700x for the funsies

[fiery plover]

I accidentally swapped my drives and my download drive is now name E:// can I swap it out back to D:// without manually swapping the cables (kinda lazy to open the case sorry for asking)

[hot heart]

passmark

[gleaming meteor]

i think you can swap drive letters in disk management

[fiery plover]

So just search on start that keyword? Ok I'll try that

[gleaming meteor]

here

[fiery plover]

Where in the settings can I disable the windows search to stop including internet results? Win10

[gleaming meteor]

you can change the letter

[fiery plover]

Thanks

[gleaming meteor]

you have to right clock on the specific partition

[fiery plover]

Gotcha

[gleaming meteor]

i just remembered a modder that made like volumetric clouds for this game runs an arc card, altho its i think an a770

still better vram than getting a 3060 12gb

and yes this is the cheapest new 770

[iron glen]

beamng?

[gleaming meteor]

yes

[iron glen]

ah

[gleaming meteor]

im looking to replace my dying 1660s

asus with their intel stock cooler ahh solution made the vram cook itself to death

[hot heart]

are you planning to go new?

[gleaming meteor]

parents offered to chip in or get a gpu for xmas with a 300 euro max budget

[iron glen]

im stuck wondering why a rendering software or whatever vulkan is, is responsible for sound

[gleaming meteor]

in what beam?

[iron glen]

yes

when i launch without it, i don't have sound

[gleaming meteor]

dx does the same

[iron glen]

oh

[gleaming meteor]

this game is like a ducttaped piece of wonder from 2013 and open source code

you have to account for the fact they have like only a single graphics developer lmao

[hot heart]

a 3060, b580, or a 7600xt or a 9060xt 16gb i would say would be good cards

[gleaming meteor]

well 1.5 devs

ck is the idea guy

[hot heart]

the b580 is an x8 card so you can expect to lose like 5 percent performance on pcie 3.0 im pretty sure

[gleaming meteor]

3060 12gb is same as 4060 here so 300 euro but im looking more for vram

[gleaming meteor]

what about a770

[hot heart]

more vram than the 3060? or more vram than the 4060?

[gleaming meteor]

and 9060xt 16gb is like near 400 here

[gleaming meteor]

than 4060

i dont care for cuda and rt much because substance manages to survive my gtx card and so does blender lmao

[hot heart]

also wdym dying? like its struggling to run your programs or that its actally dying?

[gleaming meteor]

black screens often and extreme artefacting

[hot heart]

oh i see

[gleaming meteor]

• 100C peak hotspot under load

realest asus cooler design

[hot heart]

the 7600xt gets more performance than it

[gleaming meteor]

it was repasted like 3 months ago thrice because i thought i was applying the paste wrong

[gleaming meteor]

beam eats vram for breakfast like 8gb is barely enough for medium @ 1080p

using vulkan which is the superior api

[hot heart]

the 7600xt is the 16gb model

the 7600 is the 8gb model

[hot heart]

well damn

[gleaming meteor]

its even more on amazon

[hot heart]

is saving up for it not an option?

[silk dome]

Im buying a pc tgis good?

[lethal bay]

16GB ram in 2025 is a national tragedy

[cerulean linden]

yeah. and when u take a packet-pc, and start upgrading it, very soon its cheaper just to buy better parts separately and it will be better than the packet-one

[wispy charm]

Is this used PC good for $1100 CAD

i5 14400f 10 cores 16 threads
RTX 4060 TI
32gb corsair rgb ram
1tb nvme ssd
liquid cooling
motherboard z790 wifi

[lethal bay]

mid

[iron glen]

whats the acceptable ammount then

[lethal bay]

32GB minimum nowadays. Especially DDR5
