[swift kestrel]

Wow that's some ancient stuff

How was it making that sound

[tidal geyser]

uh

[swift kestrel]

Was it the reader

[long cradle]

I'm not sure.

[tidal geyser]

floppy disk spin

[long cradle]

It happened just after waking from sleep mode.

[swift kestrel]

That's weird

Why do u even have it lol

Surprised it even has a floppy disc reader judging by the i3 10th gen sticker

[long cradle]

Though, other than that, it works just fine.

[swift kestrel]

I forgot computers made sounds like this

Reminds me of our school computers back in primary

Im used to hearing nothing on a start up with my laptop

[sand epoch]

does anyone know any chart or something for these?

need a chart or something where I use those values to edit it to my preference

[tidal geyser]

what da fuc are you doing

[robust trail]

You need to adjust that stuff to your liking. Not every display is going to have the same color levels. Best to use the build in calibration or use a color profile for the specific display.

[sand epoch]

my sdr white levels are fucked that's why

[robust trail]

Or a calibration tool

[sand epoch]

it's white to the point i can't even watch yt videos

[sand epoch]

know any?

[tidal geyser]

turn down brightness

[sand epoch]

tried , didn't fix it

[tidal geyser]

wait is the monitor HDR?

[sand epoch]

yes

[tidal geyser]

you did use the windows HDR calibration tool?

[sand epoch]

yes

[tidal geyser]

you used it right?

as it really does not look like it

[robust trail]

White is white. If you have an nvidia card and have the auto HDR/super res enabled - disable it.

[sand epoch]

they even made me install some bullshit app from Microsoft store to do so

[sand epoch]

amd

[tidal geyser]

yea that is the right app

[sand epoch]

hdr is fine , it's just sdr

[tidal geyser]

mine works without any issues

wait what display

[robust trail]

Ah that’s right. AMD has inferior software. 💪 I wouldn’t jack around the the registry settings… but you may try using the color calibration tool in windows.

The HDR and color calibration tools are two different things. The manufacturer of your display may also have a color profile for your display

[sand epoch]

it's normal for few seconds and just goes super white like wtf? it also happens to steam videos and basically every single app besides video games where it's normal

[tidal geyser]

amd is OK but its gpu division is not a multi trillion dollar thing

[robust trail]

lol I am just talking shit, I don’t care what people use as long as they are happy 🙂

[robust trail]

Does this happen outside of YouTube?

[tidal geyser]

then im not happy

[sand epoch]

nope

i mean yes , on steam

when i replay my recordings which steam automatically takes

[robust trail]

That sounds like there’s something only running on video decode

[robust trail]

Is autohdr enable in windows?

[sand epoch]

this is the issue , it becomes super bright after some time

[sand epoch]

i tried turning it off and hdr entirely , issue persists

[robust trail]

I dunno. HDR on windows is hit or miss

[sand epoch]

it's not happening cuz of hdr because I had it on for a while but this issue started happened just sometime ago

[sand epoch]

@tidal geyser this is what the issue looks like

so i thought it maybe has something to do with the sdr white levels

[tidal geyser]

wtf is dat

[robust trail]

What the actual fuck

[tidal geyser]

for me its not showing as a video

[robust trail]

😂 we both saw the video at the same time. That’s weird

[raven scroll]

Guys

Can you tape a monitor to the wall

[tidal geyser]

issue is i cant see the video

[robust trail]

You can tape anything to anything if you use enough tape

[rare pewter]

oh yikes. that sucks

[robust trail]

The display shows normal brightness and the BOOM then whole display washes out

It is super strange

[sand epoch]

it doesnt happen if i scroll a bit down just so like 75% of the video appaears in windowed mode

which is very wierd

[robust trail]

Are there any monitor options that could be trying to pull SDR into HDR?

[sand epoch]

i maybe the first person on earth facing this because i spent hours on yt and reddit searching for a fix

[sand epoch]

not that I know of , it's a lg monitor

[robust trail]

Yeah I’ve not seen that happen… at least that I can recall. Have you removed the display driver and reinstalled?

Like an entire cycle. Uninstall, restart, reinstall

[nimble frigate]

Any 1440p 240hz oled monitors under $600?

[tidal geyser]

did pcpartpicker not show any?

[sand epoch]

yep

[tidal geyser]

im so fucked

[nimble frigate]

They were all like $900

[robust trail]

Tools are good.

[sand epoch]

"oled"

[tidal geyser]

wat???

[sand epoch]

oled are expensive here

a lot

[tidal geyser]

you just press here

[robust trail]

Oled is expensive overall 😦

[tidal geyser]

550$ for 360hz https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QPsMnQ/asrock-phantom-gaming-oled-pgo27qfv-270-2560-x-1440-360-hz-monitor-pgo27qfv

[nimble frigate]

It’s expensive in general

[robust trail]

Ooo asrock

[nimble frigate]

Oh shit

[robust trail]

I have that asus 4K 240 oled. It serves as my work display. I don’t use my hardware correctly 😦

[raven scroll]

Mark is rich

[robust trail]

I am

[tidal geyser]

also its really not hard to do

[river harbor]

prob wait for the gigabyte tandem oled

should be released this or next month

[raven scroll]

I should’ve used pc part picker bruv

[robust trail]

🥓🥓🥓🥞

[raven scroll]

I think I got scammed for my monitor

[river harbor]

what did you buy

[left dove]

ok but you can't beat the classics

[river harbor]

-1.33% its over

[robust trail]

I cannot.

[rigid fjord]

GoG ?

[left dove]

I will take a couple pancakes, though

[ebon marlin]

[left dove]

[river harbor]

[left dove]

[robust trail]

I do like pancakes. I got up early so I could play video games but then remembered oblivion is a walking simulator

[ebon marlin]

[left dove]

I've been waking up at like 4-6 lately, my mornings feel like full days

[left dove]

[river harbor]

ive been sleeping at 6 and my days feel like they last 2 houfs

I blink and its nighttime already 😩

[left dove]

Welcome to getting old wheeeee

[robust trail]

I wanted to go work on my truck but we have house guests and my gmrs radio is in my office… oh it’s 7 I can probably go down there.

[river harbor]

im 16 💔

[left dove]

LOL

[river harbor]

6am

not 6pm

[left dove]

Oh do those gmrs radios have like, insane range? I was thining about getting one & a newer bafang

[robust trail]

My fish friends think it is breakfast time

[rigid fjord]

i may or may not know about some mods to certain baofeng/baofang gmrs radios that let them be usable on bands that they shouldn't be usable on

[robust trail]

There are some firmware mods out there 🙂

[rigid fjord]

hardware ones also that removes certain diodes that acts as filters

[robust trail]

Ah yeah

[lethal bay]

DLSS eye contacts

make it happen

[left dove]

Okay so duly noted- ovpn doesn't like it when you've got multiple active vpn routes

[rigid fjord]

can turn a simple gmrs into a radio to scan emergency service channels

[left dove]

"why did my internet stop working?"

8 active vpn connections

[left dove]

oh I already use my sdr for this during shitty weather

[lethal bay]

Every time I’ve ever tried to do vpn stuff ever it just hurt my network performance lmao

[rigid fjord]

can it transmit on those channels also?

[left dove]

it's an sdr- rx only

[rigid fjord]

ah, well you could make one of the baofeng radios do that also

can be fun listening to the local chatter going on at the docks at times though

[left dove]

Oh yeah, when i'm on the coast I love listening to the marine chatter

[rigid fjord]

you got a CB in your truck also dude?

[barren breach]

So Im looking to upgrade to a 5070ti, and I was specifically looking at the MSI variant so it matches my mobo. Is there any difference between their gaming trio and their vanguard versions other than looks? Is the vanguard a better oc bios or something?

[magic ivy]

190euro for 7600xt?

[rigid fjord]

get a 6700xt instead

[left dove]

Nooo don't help the crossposter

[lethal bay]

crossposter sounds like a slur

[left dove]

It's close to one lmao

[lethal bay]

We need a slur for people that use AI for everything

[left dove]

botnut

[lethal bay]

botjockey

[left dove]

YES

[lethal bay]

[left dove]

thats also close to a slur for lgbt people 😂

[trim flicker]

theres one but i forgot the word

[lethal bay]

whoops

[left dove]

[magic ivy]

its from fb

[stable beacon]

is there a big diffrence between 144 and 240fps

[left dove]

numerically, yes

Human perceptiveness? nah.

go 144 and be happy w/ it

[distant frigate]

Real difference is between 60 Hz and 120 Hz. Anything above that is ehhh

[gloomy sleet]

kinda

120hz to 240hz is a noticeable difference

[lethal bay]

I notice more between 120 and 144 than I did 144 and 240 tbh

[gloomy sleet]

past 240hz to 360 or 480 for me is minimal

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[lethal bay]

240 is super nice but not game changing imo

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[lethal bay]

99.99% of people would be more than fine on 144-165

[elder quarry]

165 is really nice

[gloomy sleet]

especially when the money you spend on the extra refresh rate can get you a higher resolution in a lot of cases

i see too many people buying 1080p 240hz monitors over 1440p 165hz

[left dove]

"but my refreshes"

[elder quarry]

Yeah I need like 540 of the mm each second

[lethal bay]

real

[tepid crest]

Depends on the pc tho too if your not going to get anything near 165 fps on 1440p then get a 1080p

[left dove]

God why's the OST for saints row 2 so fucking GOOD

early 00's music was just better tbh

[lethal bay]

anything running 1080p 240 can run 1440p 165

[tepid crest]

Yeaa ig

[lethal bay]

1440p is not as big of a jump as people think it is

people think the performance hit of 1080p to 1440p is the performance hit of 1080p to 4K lmao

[tepid crest]

Iv got 1440p on my monitor

[left dove]

pixel rate's a little higher but on modern cards it shouldn't be an issue

[trim flicker]

What’s the better laptop card
4070 or 3080

[mellow remnant]

4070

[rough wing]

From what I’ve seen 3080 looks better

[trim flicker]

I stubbed my toe and it hurt alot

[mossy oak]

Looks better
How are you even gonna see it in a laptop 😭

[rough wing]

Seems 4070 can get close to the same frames with half the power consumption

[rough wing]

https://tenor.com/view/play-dumb-dumb-not-an-act-playing-dumb-are-you-playing-dumb-gif-13751300

[lapis rampart]

have you tried making time for jokes, dopamine is a really good thing to produce

[hollow sorrel]

Jokes tend to be funny

[rigid fjord]

uless it's modified a 3080 is only 10 or 12gb vrm depending on which is bought

[idle vessel]

they’re ai

[lapis rampart]

oh

[left dove]

I thought it was funny

therefore, it is

[hollow sorrel]

Let me rephrase, jokes tend to be funny to other people

[rigid fjord]

technically around the same performance, but you get to play with newer dlss and frame gen if you go for the 4070

[barren breach]

So Im looking to upgrade to a 5070ti, and I was specifically looking at the MSI variant so it matches my mobo. Is there any difference between their gaming trio and their vanguard versions other than looks? Is the vanguard a better oc bios or something?

Trying again lol

[sinful cobalt]

4070 is more efficient

[rigid fjord]

only difference would be the cooler on it, and don't buy based on brands

[rigid fjord]

a more efficient 3080 ** you mean

[sinful cobalt]

both are the same chip, only cooler deisgn is diff but it shldnt matter for a 300w card

[sinful cobalt]

same thing

[barren breach]

Im not buying necessarily for brand, more that a 5070ti would be a pretty solid balance in my setup and that itd match the aesthetic lol

Not like I love MSI or anything, couldn’t really care less about the brand, itd just be aesthetically pleasing too on top of a needed upgrade

[rigid fjord]

personally i'd still sooner go with a 9070 xt instead

less of the driver issue primarily

[barren breach]

Take any frame gen out of the argument entirely, would you still go with a 9070?

[lethal bay]

iirc the ventus is louder

[worn tinsel]

a 2280 inch NVMe drive... im no expert... but

[rigid fjord]

yes, i would still pick a 9070 xt, not a 9070

[trim flicker]

My ventus is whisper quiet when im using my pc

[barren breach]

Couple days ago a bunch of people were arguing what a better upgrade for me would be and most people landed on the 5070ti over the 9070xt

[trim flicker]

then again my ambient noise floor is 55db

[rigid fjord]

my ambient noise floor is something like 25db on average

could hear a pin drop where i am

[barren breach]

I didnt even ask between the two, just mentioned what I currently had and everyone was saying 5070ti

[mellow remnant]

no, the laptop versions are different, 3080 mobile comes either with 8 or 16, as for the 4070 it comes with 8

[barren breach]

I have no clue whats better in what ways, still kinda new to this stuff, but apparently the 5070ti is like 10% faster in almost everything?

[plain cypress]

Oh shit, 50dba isn't as loud as I thought

If I turn the AC off it will be quieter

[left dove]

Ah fuck, i forgot today's friday

Injection day wheee

[plain cypress]

But then again the tinnitus is louder than the ambient right now

[hoary tree]

This does not make any sense

[left dove]

And people always ask me why there's so much fan noise in my office- It drowns out the ringing :^)

[junior valve]

p12 pro launched

[hoary tree]

14th gen is incompatible with Intel 800 series boards

[plain cypress]

My right ear has been experiencing significantly louder ringing since last weekend

I think it's clogged

[left dove]

if it starts getting painful at all go to urgent care and have it looked at

[plain cypress]

I did in October and they said I was full of wax

They blew out some nice chunks

[left dove]

got any hydrogen peroxide solution?

[plain cypress]

No they used warm water

[left dove]

no, do you have any

[plain cypress]

Also no

[left dove]

Maybe pick up some, it's great for softening wax and the bubbling action helps dislodge it off the walls of the ear canal

[plain cypress]

So far my airpods pro are great for removing wax

[left dove]

(Also start cleaning your ears daily)

You waxy boy

[plain cypress]

I cannot be bothered to do that

[left dove]

it takes like 30 seconds with a q-tip what

I do it after brushing my teeth

[plain cypress]

I finally quit the q tip addiction

[left dove]

yeah and now look where you are

clogged & waxy

[plain cypress]

More tinnitus but less accidental scraped eardrums

[left dove]

You..

My guy you don't go in that deep

[plain cypress]

Or maybe not the eardrums, just the sides of the outer ear

Okay I mean the blue line lmao

[left dove]

I go up to the posterior curve of the canal, I don't go up to the ear drum lmao

420mm because I can't fit a 360mm at the top of my case, and 360mm would look small at the front of my case

CPU-Cooler question
I'm debating on which of these 4 are the best for the Ryzen 5 9600x (or better): https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/WKWzK8,dF3NnQ,khJp99,43qrxr
What CPU would the best fan be able to reliably cool up to?

[tidal geyser]

you do know how much power that cpu uses right?

[south arrow]

Squints these are all the same pretty much

The one you like most

[tidal geyser]

just go for the cheapest cooler

[south arrow]

Coolermaster and thermalright look least tacky in my opinion but totes up to you

[versed pecan]

So if it's a 65w cpu, either of these should be perfectly fine?

[tidal geyser]

a cold breeze can almost cool it

[south arrow]

65w yeah

Sims charger pulls more (it's a fine chip just keks toward sims)

[versed pecan]

Oh jeez.

[tidal geyser]

my charger pulls as much as a ryzen 9

[versed pecan]

And in the event that it's a 105/120W cpu, would that change anything?

[tidal geyser]

but no just go for that thermalright cooler

[elder quarry]

120?

[tidal geyser]

tbh i would just go for a id cooling a620 or thermalright peerless assasin 120 se

[clear spruce]

ey worm

[tidal geyser]

or phantom spirit

[tidal geyser]

my charger is 125w

[elder quarry]

oi

[south arrow]

Heya silverkes

[clear spruce]

do you think i could build a pc with only a 100 bucks? 🤔

[elder quarry]

For 100$

[tidal geyser]

build no, buy ez

[empty quartz]

@tidal geyser the macbooks are meant for productivitity, like editing

[empty quartz]

And music production

[tidal geyser]

pengene er på vei means the money is on its way

so im 60$ richer

[tidal geyser]

with your hands on the screen?

[versed pecan]

Alright. Ty for the input

[tidal geyser]

30-40$ for a cooler that can do a r9 9950x

[versed pecan]

Which fan is that?

[tidal geyser]

wat

[versed pecan]

That can do for 30-40, since the SE is only ~20

[tidal geyser]

wha

[dry fern]

hello! does anyone have some recommandations for a monitor? Im looking for 24 inch (preferably) 240hz IPS or VA doesnt really matter. price range 200-350 euros. Based in NL:D

[versed pecan]

Also I forgot I'm currently in NL, oops.

[dry fern]

ye around preferably

[true stirrup]

What sim sent then

[dry fern]

icl i cant have more than 24 inch my desk is too small for it

[true stirrup]

You don't have many choices

[dry fern]

yea

[tidal geyser]

24 inch?

[true stirrup]

There are no 24 inch ones

[dry fern]

fr? damn

[tidal geyser]

just go for that but nl

[dry fern]

1920 x 1080 is fine

[tidal geyser]

how small is your room

[dry fern]

very small

[tidal geyser]

smoller but still high hz even tho i think dis is very dumbhttps://nl.pcpartpicker.com/product/R94Ycf/asus-tuf-gaming-vg249qm1a-238-1920-x-1080-270-hz-monitor-90lm06j0-b023b0

[dry fern]

I looked at that but there were some bad reviews so i aint sure

[true stirrup]

Your table touches the walls on the left and right?

[dry fern]

basically

I got a loft bed so my desk is under it

[tidal geyser]

where

[dry fern]

lemme check again

[winter lantern]

See if your Facebook marketplace has some heat fr

[dry fern]

ive been looking through almost all reviews on it on bol.com and most of them are saying ips glow and hdr is a bit meh

also on yt but cant rlly find a lot there

[tidal geyser]

saying HDR is bad on anything but OLED and mini LED is like saying water is wet

[true stirrup]

You are not going to get good HDR with your desired refresh rate for how much you are willing to pay

[dry fern]

alr lol

[dry fern]

icl I had a promise with my parents and such and dont wanna make them pay like 400+ euros for a monitor

[tidal geyser]

so buy that one

186

[dry fern]

ye

I was thinking abt that one but just needed some reassurance. thanks:D

[true stirrup]

Also sim since you are here
I know you said Ender 3 sucks but does it suck so much it's not worth 50€?

[tidal geyser]

MC was shitting em out at that price

[tidal geyser]

i would not if possible but it can be a nice enough printer if you know what you are doing

[true stirrup]

Yeah I have no idea what I'm doing but I also have a lot of time in my hands lol

[slender parcel]

Can someone explain what Cores are to me?

In like cpu or whatever

[tidal geyser]

[true stirrup]

Each core is basically a processing unit in which the instructions are carried out

I'm trying to close a program but it keeps opening after I close it through task manager, what do I do?

It opens too fast to uninstall the file location it's in

[raven scroll]

What program is it

[lavish needle]

TMeter

More specifically the TrafSvc.exe

[pale flint]

it is

indeed

[raven scroll]

Try booting into safe mode

Win + R → msconfig → Boot tab → check Safe boot → OK → Restart

[buoyant bridge]

can HDDs still hold up? 1.4 GBps disk usage on my desktop raid array

[lavish needle]

Is that call of duty on hard drive?

[buoyant bridge]

yeah

[lavish needle]

Oh my god

[buoyant bridge]

whats the issue its always ran fine on raid arrays for me

single HDD bad thou

[lavish needle]

I'm scared of modern games on hard drives ever since I got banned on valorant for long loading times

[tidal geyser]

Gb not GB

most HDDs i see can do between 180-220MB

[buoyant bridge]

I've got 8 drives in RAID lol

[tidal geyser]

for 220MB that means 1800Mb so 1.8Gb

[tidal geyser]

well

[lavish needle]

Nevermind I got revo

https://tenor.com/view/air-jail-cat-arlo-arlo-air-jail-kitten-gif-1483870789139119842

[steel umbra]

220 equals 1800 that makes sense mbps

[slender parcel]

I see, can you give me an example between 1 core and say like 4 cores? Like what could they achieve

[true stirrup]

I do this to my cat when she is too annoying

[tidal geyser]

uhm

[true stirrup]

More instructions being carried out in a shorter amount of time aka. more performance in tasks that utilise multiple cores

[slender parcel]

I see I see

[tidal geyser]

a quad core aka 4 cores can beat a 28 core pc

[steel umbra]

sim didn't fall for my rage bait :c

[tidal geyser]

[slender parcel]

Yo doo you know where I can learn everything about pc parts like what is a cpu and gpu cause all the e videos I see use terms I don’t even understand

[tidal geyser]

google and youtube

You should start with the basics of computer science

[slender parcel]

Is it self teachable

what isnt

[tidal geyser]

what even is the point of the internet

if people do not use it

[true stirrup]

Cat videos

[tidal geyser]

well, use it well

[steel umbra]

start with basic stuff like logic gates, what holds a charge or not, perceived vs real power and how to combat them (this is for electricity volts and amps)

etc

[frigid blade]

Um

Who the hell starts at logic gates, instead of a simple explanation of what a cpu or GPU is doing lol

[iron glen]

what if instead of that i stick forks into electrical outlets and cause power outages

[steel umbra]

great idea

[tidal geyser]

you do know what a breaker is

[steel umbra]

uhh, they asked for computer science

[iron glen]

familiar with the concept

[tidal geyser]

the point is protecting the rest of the electrical network and also not burning your house down

They're shitty laptops tho

[iron glen]

do they boot?

so you can give them to me exactly

Yea

[tidal geyser]

i just have a lot of NUCs

If I learn this will I become computer geek and be happy building my first pc

[iron glen]

PCs are like a big expensive puzzle basically

[steel umbra]

you don't need to know that for pc assembly

[iron glen]

unless you're DIYing a component you don't need to know allat

[frigid blade]

Look at the free Harvard course I sent for you

[true stirrup]

Ngl for just building a LC you really don't have to understand that many concepts

[slender parcel]

Me when I lie

Nah not really

[iron glen]

no if something goes wrong you come here to bitch and complain

[frigid blade]

It’s even simpler than a puzzle, there’s tons of videos that can walk you through the entire building process

[true stirrup]

I built my first PC when I was around 7
Believe me I didn't know how everything works back then

[frigid blade]

There’s only a few core components to get it running, the rest are optional

[iron glen]

i built my pc when i was ~13
didn't know how it worked then, still don't

[zinc widget]

Only thing cooler is if they made an hba that also has 10gbe

[slender parcel]

How many people will get annoyed out of 10

[steel umbra]

guide how to build a pc: watch a youtube tutorial, double check when you're plugging something and it does not want to go in, don't drop stuff, check if all cables are plugged in correctly @slender parcel

[steel umbra]

if you have flimsy hands build over something soft like mattress

[true stirrup]

Lmao

[iron glen]

yk steam is water right

[frigid blade]

People say there’s no stupid questions, there are, just don’t ask a stupid question and actually listen and no one will get annoyed

[steel umbra]

if you have explosive psu model yes or send 230v into pc instead of 12v

[slender parcel]

Okay

[slender parcel]

bro expects me to know what a v230 voltage is instead of a 12 voltage

[steel umbra]

230v

[slender parcel]

Psu means private support units

[frigid blade]

Power supply unit

[slender parcel]

Am I cooked

[steel umbra]

private

support unit?

are we talking about boeing

jets

[latent gull]

no thats a private strike unit

[frigid blade]

Best example for me with voltage is kids toys, at their correct voltage they run regular speed, as you add more the faster they go until the motor burns out

[latent gull]

thats what boeing uses to take out whisteblowers

[slender parcel]

Oh that’s why different power fans are important

Or something idk

[iron glen]

chatGPT sums it up pretty well i'd say

[steel umbra]

too much electromagnetism hehe

copper goes melty

[frigid blade]

Exactly

Stuff gets hot at higher voltages

[steel umbra]

i'd say at low resistances

[slender parcel]

Do all of you guys major in cs?

[iron glen]

no? im not even in highschool

[frigid blade]

Not really, it’s too cramped of a field

The acceptance rate at the uni I wanted to get into (not Ivy League or anything) is 1% for CS

[slender parcel]

Bruh

[steel umbra]

who wouldn't want to get paid for having fun

[slender parcel]

I hear there are too much CS majors

and entry level jobs are hard to find for them

[iron glen]

there are
just learn how to weld and make bank

[slender parcel]

Become a civil engineer and all at

[iron glen]

don't even need to be that

[iron glen]

thats ~3k - ~6k per month

[frigid blade]

There are

That’s why I went with IT Security Specialist

It’s easier and more fun

[iron glen]

whats the job like, i want to do that but idk if theres something more specific you can be

[frigid blade]

I have 12 credits left

[iron glen]

ah

[frigid blade]

But the stuff is easy, I can show you my required classes and you can look into them

[iron glen]

sure

[steel umbra]

if i would get paid that much in my country

for welding...

[true stirrup]

I am majoring in "Computer science and information technologies"

[frigid blade]

Ignore the C and B, it was when I was moving and busy

[tidal geyser]

wat

[iron glen]

would this be what you study in a nutshell?

[frigid blade]

That’s a class I took in high school

Computer servicing 2

[iron glen]

oh

[frigid blade]

And a bit of networking also from then

[tidal geyser]

what is the most common issue on the OSI model

well what layer is most commonly the issue

[frigid blade]

I wouldn’t rember

[tidal geyser]

buu

[slender parcel]

W

[frigid blade]

The last time I had to actually use the model was 3 years ago

[tidal geyser]

what is 802.1x

[frigid blade]

ethernet standard?

Either that or wifi

[limpid ivy]

ohh nice wish my high school had some sort of stuff like that, but we had art. But that pretty much included photography, video production, animation, graphic design, digital animation etc.

[steel umbra]

hey guys. i have been debating whether to get the steelseries Qck hard mousepad or the Logitech G440. I use 200 DPI, 6/11 windows sens and a razer moouse. if anyone can help thx

[tidal geyser]

well its kinda just some kind of security on network ports

[frigid blade]

That’s not my kind of security

[tidal geyser]

sql injection?

[frigid blade]

I only took the major to actually get an education, but my favorite field is radio frequency

[tidal geyser]

uhhhmmm, i dono lets talk about wifi

[frigid blade]

I can do the basic security for a hotels wifi and what not

[tidal geyser]

wifi 7 is dumb right

and 6e

like what even is the point

[frigid blade]

Probably not? Higher speeds

[tidal geyser]

when you can just decide not to even add the new stuff

[frigid blade]

But most devices don’t need to reach those speeds that are on WiFi

[bitter turtle]

9070xt pulse or nitro+? I still have unexplainable anxiety about the new 12v2x6 port but nitro is going on a huge sale today.

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[frigid blade]

We don’t even own any devices that can do 6e or 7 in this household

[tidal geyser]

my new phone can 🙂

[frigid blade]

I have a 12 mini so barely supports 5G

[tidal geyser]

been a reason i wanted to maybe grab a 6e AP

[frigid blade]

I have so many cables ready for things but I need the money

6 hanging out of the soffit for cameras, 1 for an AP in the hallway

[bitter turtle]

okay thanks

[frigid blade]

APs and radios are fun

I did the FSPL calculation with my friend for the optimal placement outdoors

He lives in socal and deals with RF for a living, really cool job I wish I had one like that

But I don’t wanna go anywhere near cali

[empty quartz]

Thats what ya like to see

Its a 16 year old pc, lower your standards a bit

[grizzled frost]

with enough lanes, ddr3 is useable

[sinful cobalt]

its only 300w not 600

The cpu’s are triple channel

Im running 4 dimms per cpu

[grizzled frost]

1.33dpc?

[empty quartz]

Im willing to sacrifice performance for memory capacity

[empty quartz]

Huh

[grizzled frost]

3 channel, but 4 dimms

[empty quartz]

Ah

Its not a system im actually going to use

Im going to sell it @grizzled frost

[grizzled frost]

Ah

[steel umbra]

you get 2x 1dpc and 2dpc

[hexed sage]

should I get a 5070ti or a 4080

[steel umbra]

get whichever is cheaper

[hexed sage]

pretty sure its the 5070ti

[tidal geyser]

then why not that

[lapis talon]

GPU is still pretty big imo

It barely fits there

[south arrow]

Such a pretty gpu

I dig it

[lapis talon]

Got it wayyyy over MSRP but the price won't go down in my country so I just copped it

Before it went out of stock

[south arrow]

im getting weird flashing black and white pixels on my display

i havent diagnosed a gpu issue in like 3 years im rusty 😭

[hexed merlin]

Can anyone here help me with my pc

[worn tinsel]

cables, drivers and mounting

make sure everything is plugged in properly, check your graphics driver and make sure it's in the slot properly

[swift moss]

could be yeah, game crashed the second i clicked button

lemme update drivers because im lazy

[worn tinsel]

sounds like either a driver issue or a power issue

[prime oriole]

What card is it

[swift moss]

3070ti

might be windows 10 ltsc kicking the barrel too

ok i installing latest drivers now

some pixels are like rgb you know?

like tv static that vanish when page moves

[winter lantern]

Crazy how this isnt my gpu

[swift moss]

WAIT

I GOT IT ON SCREENSHOT

there they are in that second image

[prime oriole]

And those appear all over the screen?

[swift moss]

yeah, in groups periodically but everywhere

[winter lantern]

Is it what mine is doing or nah

[swift moss]

no

[prime oriole]

Well try new drivers. If that doesn't work ig try reseating the card, power connector and the display cable to the monitor or a different port on the monitor

[winter lantern]

Dang

[swift moss]

drivers already feel a lot better lmfao

[prime oriole]

And if that doesn't work then it might be the VRAM clocking out

[winter lantern]

Im pretty sure mine is a monitor issue

[swift moss]

yeha seems like its gone now

[swift moss]

yeah thats what i thought as well, instantly jumped to vram

[winter lantern]

Because I seen it happen when the pc wasn't connected

[royal scaffold]

Found a keyboard -
Cosmic Byte Vanth

The fact I am considering this is Replaceable Switches and a metal build.

Can't find better for such a price.

What's your opinion?

[proud island]

Thoughts?

[zinc widget]

[south arrow]

Intel

[zinc widget]

Seagate WD or Toshiba?

[south arrow]

Wd for hdd*

[zinc widget]

Oh I’m getting an ultra 7 lol I know it’s overkill

But it’s not much more than the ultra 5 on Amazon

Like $40

[south arrow]

No hate i7 is lit

[proud island]

Ppl have been telling me to get a diff SSD, recommendations?

[south arrow]

Its a great ssd personally I never had issues with my Samsung 970 pro -980p or 990pro but curious what they'd recommended. Crucial and wd also make some solid ssd whatevers on sale with highest speed and most storage is my suggestion

[winter lantern]

Its not my gpu tho

I aint dumb 💔

[south arrow]

Or even sk hynix ssds* has similar priced options like the platinum p41

[ebon marlin]

Gulp

Does Nintendo even test their own devices 😭

Why do companies never test their products/games before launch

Switch 2's performance already sucks and now they're gonna release a patch which forces the chips to run much slower to combat this

Switch 2 already runs cyberpunk at like 20fps now it's gonna be even lower

[swift moss]

no nz

[winter lantern]

Switch 2 has the best performance handheld for its price 💔

[south arrow]

Overall ill leave you with this https://a.co/d/iQWelZG

[winter lantern]

Nintendo is bad because theyre anti piracy

[sleek ibex]

A daily reminder that they even went after speed runners once upon a time

[ebon marlin]

You can get 2 used ROG Ally Z1 Extreme's for cheaper than the switch 2 here

[sleek ibex]

Nintendo is like the fucking mafia

[ebon marlin]

Used ROG Ally Z1E's go for 275-300€ here meanwhile cheapest switch 2 here is 619€

Ah nvm that's the Mario kart edition

[plush wren]

oh

[winter lantern]

You'd obv get the mario kart edition tho

[plush wren]

wtf

[ebon marlin]

Normal switch 2 is 569€ but still possible to get 2 used ROG Ally Z1E's for cheaper

[plush wren]

wait nvm im Fried

[swift moss]

wat

[winter lantern]

I mean a switch 2 is more powerfull than a steandeck

[plush wren]

12 hours ago u were online but that was 8pm i thought it'd be like 4 am

[winter lantern]

Steamdeck is better cause all the games are free

[ebon marlin]

Yet the steam deck is still more powerful

[winter lantern]

No

[plush wren]

fuck nintendo

[ebon marlin]

It is since Nintendo has so much DRM shit slowing it's performance

[winter lantern]

Nintendo worse than ubisoft

💔

[sleek ibex]

Steam Deck making Linux gaming a slow but albeit decent alternative

[ebon marlin]

Cyberpunk runs on the switch 2 around 10-30fps while steam deck runs it stable 30-40fps

[winter lantern]

A steamdeck has pc settings so it can run games on the lowest

Oblivion works on it tho

And its unplayable on my pc

[ebon marlin]

Switch 2 runs it at even lower settings due to hardware limitations

[winter lantern]

The switch 2 sucks though because games cost money

Thats most people's complaints

[ebon marlin]

News flash games also cost on steam deck or ally

[winter lantern]

You dont have to pay
But steam has much larger sales

[sleek ibex]

Assuming you don't have the games via cloud, yes you do

[winter lantern]

Ngl idk why people say the xbox series s is equal to a 1650 super on reddit

Like its just not

I have both and xbox runs way better

Cause console best price to pref

[ebon marlin]

Consoles price to performance starts falling off immediately as soon as you start buying games

[winter lantern]

Why don't people say pc is better because of piracy then

Because thats the main reason it is

[ebon marlin]

I'd much rather have a PC that costs as much a PS5 than a PS5 itself

[thorn escarp]

your username is insane

[ebon marlin]

People don't want to pirate

[winter lantern]

A 100$ pc cant run anything

[ebon marlin]

Consoles have a monopoly on the game marketplace

[winter lantern]

My ps5 was 200 so its 200

[ebon marlin]

Where do u find ps5's for 100$

[winter lantern]

You dont

[ebon marlin]

Then why bring it up?

[winter lantern]

I found mine for 200

[winter lantern]

Half a cost of a ps5

[thorn escarp]

but if you get a pc you wont be able to play some good ps5 exclusives

[winter lantern]

So a pc for 100
Why bring up a ps5 for 100

[ebon marlin]

That's irrelevant

[winter lantern]

Thats what you said so its not

[winter lantern]

Peak

[ebon marlin]

Are you just rage baiting
