Is there anyway to change this to Mbps instead of MB/s in rockstar launcher?

vestal sonnet
#

hey chat

dapper dragon
#

Or use base10 if you’re shit at math

lethal bay
#

That’s roughly 650mbps

if i install windows 11 to upgrade from windows 10 on a usb will i get to keep files and apps? im trying to upgrade to windows 11 without a usb and it keeps rolling back to windows 10 and failing

You’re telling me these ISPs can’t run hundreds of millions worth of fibre just for someones grandma to still run 100/100?

After a certain point I feel like it doesn’t matter lol

Like downloading games after is cool but I don’t download games that often

If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems.

My 14900k runs cooler than my 7700x but yall don’t wanna hear that

Yeah for sure but like lol

Yeah but like it’s kinda funny

My 14900k running 10C cooler at almost double the wattage

So far I've drank a liter of milk at work today that's meant to be used for the coffees

Isn't AMD's zen5 IHS also very poopy

solar moat
#

welp at least the 7700x dont need crazy cooler to have it run good

solar moat
ebon marlin
#

Yeah

dusk acorn
#

Idk how to explain this but my fan is rated 5v for rgb but it also wants 4 pins for the rgb to actually work. The regular 3 pin 5v doesnt power the rgb (its like bugging out or something) and I dont think i can use a 12v controller since its not rated for the voltage so idk what to do

sinful cobalt
#

the 14900k at the same wattage as the 7700x will run cooler ofc

#

until u blast that thing at 200+ watts

Nice they're finally selling the CMF 2 Plus's in Finland

My 14900k runs like 81C at 240W on the same cooler my 7700x runs at 95C at 140W

Amazon shipped me a used, broken contact frame. Sold as new.

gilded harness

#

amazon return process i heard is ez af to manipulate

lethal bay
#

It is but this shouldn’t be slipping through sold as new

ripe solstice
#

does ram speed actually matter

lethal bay
#

There’s literally a return sticker on the packaging. Should automatically not be sold as new.

lethal bay
ripe solstice
#

like apparently my ram speed is slow what does that actually do

rigid ether
ripe solstice
#

not really

sinful cobalt
rigid ether
# ripe solstice not really

it temporally stores data and instructions the processor needs to quickly access while running applications and the operating system

#

its significantly faster than ssd, disks etc at transferring data to the cpu

ripe solstice
#

so how big a difference does speed make

rigid ether
sinful cobalt
ebon marlin
#

Way more than just a couple

sinful cobalt
#

iirc against base, EXPO 6000 CL30 on AMD was like 4% faster

ripe solstice
#

I got 12.147s on PYPRIME

#

how bad is that

ebon marlin
#

If they're using ddr4 then Ddr4 2133mhz vs 3200mhz it can easily be a 20% difference or even the difference between unplayable stuttery mess and completely playable

is there a way to check in device manager

Isn't it common and well tested knowledge

The privacy ones I’ve noticed are kinda weak for protection

Its like how helmets work

Maximum protection

lethal bay
#

Actual MT/s speed matters less than timings

sinful cobalt
lethal bay
#

XMP/EXPO is often just jedec performance with extra steps lmao

sinful cobalt
#

i dont see how expo gives a 20% boost on average

ebon marlin
#

There's alot of games that are very memory sensitive

lethal bay
#

It mattered more on AM4 because infinity fabric syncing helped latency a lot

#

Latency can buff performance that hard

#

But with DDR5 it matters less ngl

sinful cobalt
rigid ether
sinful cobalt
#

granted it was in valorant lmfao

Competitive players have their keyboard rotated 90deg

Yeah that’s like 85-90% of the performance buff right there lol

Wouldn’t bother with primary timings tbh

ripe solstice
#

just found out I had an r7 7800x3d not 5800x3d lol

lethal bay
#

The difference between 6000 cl26 and 6000 cl36 is actually minimal

sinful cobalt
#

I just kept his at 6000, did 1.35>1.45 and CL30>CL28

ripe solstice

I have ddr5

sinful cobalt

That 0.5% was only in benchmarks

@lethal bay I rmb that friend who told me to insert the display cable into the GPU and not the mobo

Can anyone give me a quick value on a laptop if I give specs? It’s a marketplace deal and I wanna make sure the description seems legit and that it’s worth what the guy is asking.

Bro my provider just cancelled my plan out of nowhere cuz 3g is too old now I guess

lethal bay

I mean yeah

#

this has been a known thing for… several years atp

mellow remnant
ebon marlin
#

Depends on the model

mint umbra
#

Like sure 5g is the newest technology

#

But never thought they would make ppl switch if they didn't want to

#

As 5g shit is too expensive

ebon marlin
#

How and why are u still using 3g in the big 2025

ebon prawn
#

Holy crap

ebon marlin

Here in Finland they started shutting down 3G towers in 2023 and finished shutting down every single one in 2024

samsung user final boss

ebon marlin
#

Samsung bootlicker unable to understand there's better products out there

hoary tree
#

I am able to understand that theres a lot of great products out there

#

You are unable to understand that

#

Specify to me what makes the z fold 7 and galaxy watch 8 classic "trash"

plush wren
#

what makes oneplus and apple trash

ebon marlin
#

4400mAh battery and their crease

hoary tree
#

:3

plush wren
#

💔

ebon marlin
#

There's already foldables which have already gotten rid of the crease completely ages ago

plush wren
#

foldable phones are STUPID.

ebon marlin
#

I think the first one to do it was the Oneplus Open

hoary tree
ebon marlin
#

Samsung is just late always with the foldables

hoary tree
ebon marlin
#

I doubt Samsung has gotten significantly better with their crease on the fold on the 7th gen one

hoary tree
# hoary tree

The fold 7 looks the same, I just forgot to take photos of it open 😅

ebon marlin
#

Oh my god the Z Fold is also using an under display camera 😭 😭

hoary tree
#

Do you use your phone that way

ebon marlin
#

That's like one of the first results when searching "z fold 7 crease"

hoary tree
#

This is a worst case scenario with the fold 7 btw

ebon marlin
#

Aye nice they finally evolved from an under display camera to a proper one

hoary tree
#

I can tell you have seen nothing about the fold 7 and you are just hating on it for no reason

#

You didn't even know it doesn't have a UDC

ebon marlin
#

Samsung has been generally very disappointing with foldables so was already expecting them to be disappointing once again

plush wren
ebon marlin
#

But if the crease is finally gone from the Fold then congrats to Samsung to finally catching up to Chinese manufacturers that already got it figured out 2 years sgo

#

But samsung is still very disappointing currently with their foldable even now

hoary tree
#

Lol, you are just a hater

ebon marlin
#

??

hoary tree
#

You clearly seem to like oneplus

ebon marlin
#

How is Samsung putting a 4400mAh battery justifiable on a 2000$ phone

ebon marlin
hoary tree
ebon marlin
#

? I just mentioned Oneplus got rid of their crease in the foldable display in 2023

#

Literally their first foldable phone didn't have a crease

#

Samsung is late to the party as always

hoary tree
#

Lol, oneplus hasn't released any foldables since 2023

#

Also, every other foldable from Chinese brands is making some form of massive compromise

mint umbra
hoary tree
#

Whether its with the processor or something else

mint umbra
#

In this economy I can't afford 5g

ebon marlin
#

If I were to get a foldable rn I'd just get the Oppo Find N5 or a Huawei Mate X6

mint umbra
#

I wouldn't get Chinese foldable

ebon marlin
#

The N5 has a 5600mAh battery

mint umbra
#

They prob put their spywear on it

ebon marlin
hoary tree
ebon marlin
mint umbra

Rather use samsung and not get spied on

hoary tree

Samsung's foldables also have the best durability and structural integrity

hoary tree

Like what skin of android do they even use

raven scroll

the N5 is also ahead with using silicon carbon battery aswell

Idk I like the functionality of one one ui

sinful cobalt

sinful cobalt
#

try a benchmark and it’ll jump over that fence

mint umbra
#

I mean I don't think that battery tech makes a bit difference

#

Big*

#

Like I've seen comparisons of op13 and s25

#

Not a big difference

hoary tree
#

Also, silicon carbon batteries are far more dangerous than lithium ion batteries

raven scroll
mint umbra
#

Seems like fake news

ebon marlin
mint umbra
#

But the difference in capacity ain't that much

#

Capacity is what really matters

plush wren
hoary tree
mint umbra
#

I still think Samsung has more premium phone

ebon marlin
hoary tree
hoary tree
#

On the s25 edge for example, a silicon carbon would only give it an extra 200MaH of capacity

ebon marlin
#

oh my fucking god Samsung is fucking using lipo batteries in the Z Fold 7

mint umbra
#

Samsung battery capacity 5000 OnePlus 6000 not huge difference

ebon marlin

Samsung is cheaping out so much with the battery jfc

mint umbra
#

For s25 ultra

hoary tree
ebon marlin
mint umbra
#

And I don't like oxygen os

#

I had one plus and returned it

hoary tree
#

Theyre rarely accurate

#

Samsung uses Li-ion

mint umbra
#

I found I was missing notifications alot

hoary tree
#

They have always used Li-ion

mint umbra
#

As the vibration intensity is fucking ass on op13

#

I can barely feel it when it's in my pocket

ebon marlin
#

You might've turnt ur vibration down or turnt it off

mint umbra
#

And the customization is alot better with one UI

hoary tree
#

Samsung uses very dense lithium ion tech

ebon marlin
#

I can feel vibrations very well with my op13R

mint umbra
#

And the vibrations are short af

ebon marlin
hoary tree
mint umbra
#

Oxygen os is lacking in customization

ebon marlin

I literally own a S23U

No good lock

hoary tree

This is oneplus 13

I still think OLEDs are flawed technology with the burn in issue

ebon marlin

That has been resolved like 5+ years ago

On phones atleast but on displays that got resolved like last year for the most part

I had my IPS display for like 10 years

#

Won't be able to do that with my OLED display

ebon marlin
#

Get a modern OLED and it's very much possible

#

Also, LCDs can also get image retention

Do you really use Discord on ur main screen 😭

#

Holy discordian

mint umbra
#

I use one monitor

ebon marlin
#

2nd monitor is life changing

#

Especially with oled

mint umbra
#

I have 32 inch monitor

#

I have no room

There's no room

#

For a monitor

#

i browsed more M2's than SATAs apparently DANger

ebon marlin
#

Make room

hallow jasper
#

Here is where we are. If you used a monitor for 10 years, you don't really care much about monitors so that explains why you're not interested in the benefits.

ebon marlin
#

I got my first paycheck today very much contemplating about getting an OLED monitor the Aorus FO27Q2 but I'm moving soon

#

My desk is only so big

ebon marlin
#

Get big desk

#

Small desk is for weak small manlet

mint umbra
#

Room doesn't fit a bigger desk

ebon marlin
#

Big desk is for big man with lots of testosterone

#

Small desk fills ur body with estrogen

hallow jasper
#

Get your priorities in order. All you need is enough room to walk in and sit down, the rest can be mega desk.

mint umbra
#

My desk is touching the walls

ebon marlin
#

Isn't everyones

mint umbra
#

On both sides

hallow jasper
#

lol

mint umbra
#

No where to expand for bigger desk

ebon marlin
#

Tear ur walls down for extra room

#

Or make a 2nd floor shelf for ur 2nd monitor

mint umbra
#

Y'all are ridiculous

hallow jasper
#

It should be obvious where it turned into just meming

ebon marlin
#

There's always an option when you're creative enough

mint umbra
#

Either way I still say when mini LEDs get cheaper they will be better than OLED

sour remnant
ebon marlin
#

Mini led will never be better than oled

ebon marlin
hallow jasper
#

To be better it would have to get more expensive, not cheaper.

ebon marlin
#

Impossible for an LCD to be better than OLED

looking for a gpu upgrade from my 2060, i have a 5800x3d and need it mostly for cs2. I was thinking either a 5060 8gb or maybe 6700xt? Preferably something under £300

ebon marlin
#

For that you can get a used 6800xt easily

ripe solstice
#

white or black

stoic tiger
ebon marlin
#

Definitely

#

Nvidia is an awful choice unless you get their current gen 90 series card

stoic tiger
#

6800xt better than a new 7600xt?

ebon marlin
#

6800xt is better than the 9060xt so yes

damn dan cases are so expensive

ebon marlin

If you also want to be an extra cheapskate you can also get 1x8gb ram and get another 8gb stick

do I need an AIO for a SFF 7800x3d

For SFF an AIO is basically necessary

Your welcome finsterr

They get finnicky as they're not in spec or barely within spec often

ebon marlin

I buy the cheapest shit I can find and they all work fine

alpine heron

Glad that's worked for you

ebon marlin
#

I even have a Usb-c thunderbolt cable that I bought from AliExpress for 9€ and it works just like it should

#

It can do it's rated 240w and work as a proper thunderbolt cable for monitors

alpine heron
#

I have some pretty good stuff from Ali. Just gotta be cautious overall

ebon marlin
#

Usually big brand names like Deltaco have proper cables

alpine heron
#

Have had some cables that were too thin for 5A the chip said they could draw and so got pretty darn toasty and unacceptable temperature rise

Growing up isn’t for everyone

agile stag
#

guys i have a theory

#

maybe cops dont care about less bad speeding because they do it so often in and out of work,,

ebon marlin
gloomy sleet
#

2kmh over

ebon marlin
#

Since atleast here in EU you can go past the speed limit legally aslong as you don't go over 3km/h over the limit

gloomy sleet
#

yeah that

ebon marlin
#

Since they correct the speed by -3km/h officially

gloomy sleet
#

yeah

#

here its a 3mph gap

agile stag
gloomy sleet
#

if your 3 over they dont care enough

agile stag
#

mph*

gloomy sleet
#

thats fast as hell

agile stag
#

some places it matters less especially highway sometimes flow higher than that normally

#

rarely but sometimes

gloomy sleet
#

i personally think cops have a quota of people they have to stop everyday

agile stag
#

iirc it was monthly

gloomy sleet
#

so they just stop that many people

#

to be fair all 3 speeding fines ive gotten ive fought in court and won

#

literally every single time i just say "when did you calibrate the speed camera last"

agile stag
#

hmm maybe ill run that if i get one

gloomy sleet
#

your meant to do it every 3 months they never do

#

one guy left it uncalibrated for 8 years

agile stag
#

i almost got a speeding ticket once but i guess they didnt recognize my car enough to pull me over so i got away with it

gloomy sleet
#

every speeding fine that camera gave over that 8 year period was dropped

agile stag
#

that is pretty insane damn hell yeah

gloomy sleet
#

so some guy who was speeding 30mph over the speed limit 8 years ago got his money back from the fine

ebon marlin
#

Alot of cops just don't come to court when you try to challenge the ticket

gloomy sleet
#

oh this is different

#

we use speed cameras over here then just automated fines

ebon marlin
#

We have that here too

gloomy sleet
#

they take a pic of your car and then fine you later on

#

i dont think ive ever seen a cop actually on duty

ebon marlin
#

Same

agile stag
#

oh yeah i remember uh uk right

gloomy sleet
#

yeah

ebon marlin
#

Here in Finland and Estonia there's just speed cameras even in rural areas where there's barely anyone

agile stag
#

some guy did some super fast record run and didnt get caught by a single speed camera and i think they deemed him innocent

gloomy sleet
#

i once called the police over a dispute with a guy at a bar i was working at and it took them 45 minutes to arrive

#

usually they let the thing happen and then give out the punishment after the fact here

ebon marlin

hey so this is probably gonna be a weird question, but how does one convert the hd audio header on the case to ac97 on the motherboard

#

also hi koda

i pick on evs top speed so much but they deserve it

grr i wish measurement auto converted let me get my conversion tool

my bfs brand new uh probably sub 5 second 0-60 car has like a 110mph top speed or something its really dunny

plush wren
#

yes škoda

agile stag

meanwhile mine apparently can do 155 but i cant test it

plush wren
#

evs in the big 25

agile stag
#

#

also that white bar is not usually there grr curse of screenshot

zinc widget
#

Also why is this thing so cheap. Went with it for my homelab cache lol

https://a.co/d/hlbLj3x

ripe field
#

or hmm, could i possibly bypass the integrated audio by using a pci sound card

agile stag
#

people should add ls400 lights to a dog

zinc widget
ripe field
#

funny that you mentioned because the system im dealing with is from 2005

agile stag
#

i can fix pcs,,,,

ripe field
#

thing is, it uses ac97 instead of hd audio on the motherboard

agile stag
#

aw grrr

ripe field
#

so i cant just yknow, plug the header in and expect it to work

agile stag
#

does it have audio io in the back

ripe field
#

it does, but if possible i want front panel audio as well

agile stag
#

hmm mmk

#

a sound card may be in order

ripe field
#

i have three options on how i have to deal with it

  1. somehow find a way to convert hd audio to adapt to ac97
  2. hunt down for another old case
  3. use a sound card
agile stag
#

hd audio to ac97 sounds jank and ao agrees uh

ripe field
#

it is jank, completely different pinouts

agile stag
#

you could try running some adapters off the rear audio

#

and just lose rear audio stuff

#

or not adapters but extensions of some sort

ripe field
#

😔

agile stag
#

or a sound card

zinc widget
agile stag
#

i suppose it exists

ripe field
agile stag
#

id run it and see what happens amazon has returns anyways

ripe field
agile stag
#

that sound card looks like garbage

zinc widget
ripe field
#

i found this on a chinese marketplace for like 10 dollars

agile stag
#

#

also ebay is probably not bad for that if youre in the US

grr tragic i dont have any uh platform recommendations then

nah its fine someone linked the correct adapter
