[hoary river]

I want buttons

[gloomy sleet]

or even better use the split spacebar and put an fn key under your right thumb

[hoary river]

A lot of buttons

[gloomy sleet]

i also like buttons

[hoary river]

Not as much as I do

[gloomy sleet]

which is why it has more then traditional 60%

100% is just unnecessary for what i do

[hollow creek]

someone got warshipped lol

[jaunty hemlock]

i use a 60% for development

i regret my choices every day

[gloomy sleet]

a standard 60%?

[jaunty hemlock]

yeah

[gloomy sleet]

id look into a 64 key layout or a hhkb layout

[jaunty hemlock]

wooting 60he

[gloomy sleet]

much better to use then standard 60%

[jaunty hemlock]

i kinda got used to it but it cant be good for my bones

[gloomy sleet]

standard 60% isnt designed for actual use its literally just a 100% keyboard cut down

[jaunty hemlock]

i love my wooting tho 😭 rappy snappy got me in a chokehold

[gloomy sleet]

id honestly argue even a 40% like this is better

it has 3 function keys

[jaunty hemlock]

put the numpad on the right and ill probably agree

[hoary river]

Disgusting

[gloomy sleet]

why though

significantly smaller and more portable then a full size board

[jaunty hemlock]

who the helly

transpots a keyboard

[ebon marlin]

A gay nerd

[gloomy sleet]

me

[jaunty hemlock]

fairs 😭

[gloomy sleet]

this isnt far off ngl

[ebon marlin]

A gay nerd who's also a furry

[jaunty hemlock]

the nerd or gay part

[gloomy sleet]

now thats still not incredibly far off but further then before

[gloomy sleet]

both kinda

[jaunty hemlock]

😭

[ebon marlin]

knew it

[gloomy sleet]

im bi

[ebon marlin]

gay

[jaunty hemlock]

we love 60% for ui designs

[gloomy sleet]

well no but close enough i suppose

[ebon marlin]

gay

[gloomy sleet]

sure

love how premiere just puts this up with no time frame for like 20 minutes

[ebon marlin]

I knew it

[gloomy sleet]

knew what??

[rigid fjord]

fugly board

[gloomy sleet]

i literally told you

[gloomy sleet]

functionality > looks

also 100% looks terrible anyway

[stone temple]

Im considering buying these 2 laptops, I want a inbtween of practicality and gaming. Which one would you recommend

[rigid fjord]

my keyboard is functional, still looks better

[jaunty hemlock]

what are ur praciticallity plans

like Code etc

[gloomy sleet]

no it isnt

[rigid fjord]

a legion 5 with amd cpu inside instead

[gloomy sleet]

you can use a 40% like that without moving your hand

[stone temple]

Class, needs adleast 3 hrs of use and using mainly for autocad

[gloomy sleet]

id say the right one

[stone temple]

But while gaming it will be plugged into a screen and power

[jaunty hemlock]

id go left, u can get an external ssd but more real estate for your screen is better

oh wait 5070?

whats the price difference

[stone temple]

200

with the LOQ being cheaper

[jaunty hemlock]

go right

[stone temple]

Only reason im leaning to LOQ is battery life

[stone temple]

leaning away*

[jaunty hemlock]

not the fact u get double storage better graphics unit?

[jaunty hemlock]

oh

[rigid fjord]

the loq like legion 5's can hold 2x m.2 ssd's inside them

[jaunty hemlock]

u can optimize ur settings for screen time tbf

[jaunty hemlock]

depends if he wants to do it or not

[rigid fjord]

also upgradable on ram and can have 2 ssd's inside

[stone temple]

So LOQ is the better choice

[jaunty hemlock]

yeah

[stone temple]

It is also cheaper which is nice, but what battery life do you think I can get with optimization

[rigid fjord]

totally pointless to use an external ssd when you can have 2 already in your system

[jaunty hemlock]

i also didnt know it could hold 2 i thought it was 1

[rigid fjord]

for battery life, amd cpu inside would be better, the "i7" that's being used is 13/14th gen and not great on battery life

[stone temple]

Unfortunately I only have the option to buy in store

Bc im exchanging a laptop I have already bought from this store

[rigid fjord]

get it from lenovo's site instead, and while you're at it, if this is for the likes of college/uni you can get an extra discount on it

[ebon marlin]

An Intel cpu isn't really practical for a laptop unless you're planning on being on the charger 24/7

[hoary river]

My laptop has an Intel cpu ☹️

[rigid fjord]

yeah, it's the thinkpads that are the ones to mainly differ on this

[ebon marlin]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1149324468037095434/1349091067538182164/attachment.gif

[rigid fjord]

the core ultra's are the only ones that differ on this point

[hoary river]

I want to get my build together in time for bf6 but there are no other major sales until then so im a bit fucked there

I wish I started to get the part list together earlier so that I could make use of prime day

[ebon marlin]

actual sales don't exist anymore

every sale is now a fake sale

[gloomy sleet]

disagree

[rigid fjord]

the most fakest sale is black friday sales

[gloomy sleet]

your just looking at the shit ones

[rigid fjord]

nope, it's well known how many are actually fake

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

how many meaning some arent fake

[ebon marlin]

literally every store

[dawn tundra]

What if I had you guys submit PC fan designs to be 3d printed

[gloomy sleet]

yes

[ebon marlin]

keyword "every"

[rigid fjord]

you have any idea on how retail "sales" actually work?

[gloomy sleet]

yes

[true stirrup]

The description reads:
"In excellent condition, with thermal paste replaced just last year. Stopped giving pictures...."
Doesn't sound like excellent condition to me

[stone temple]

Which Amd cpu exactly

[ebon marlin]

what are ur options

8845HS should be an option there

[ebon marlin]

ultra 7 255h

turbo at 115w ay caramba

ryzen 7 8845hs 35w-54w

[rigid fjord]

yeah, it's more efficient compared to previous intel cpu's and tbh the newer 300 series ones should be a bit more efficient

[ebon marlin]

so should 9000 series amd aswell

Intel's effiecency isn't on the same level as AMD yet

[rigid fjord]

trouble is the pricing for 9000 series ryzens depending on location

[sly nebula]

GUYS......
i need yalls opinions on something

[rigid fjord]

like 9600 vs 7600, 9600x vs 7600x, 7700x vs 9700x, their overall performance are equal while the 9000 series is usually more expesive in comparison

[sly nebula]

im considering buying a lpatop or tablet

• do quesytion papers for board exams like the gcse's
• general browisng and watching movies
  is all i require
  and i am BROKE fyi

yall got any reccomendations?

[ebon marlin]

used laptop

[sly nebula]

U hvae any models in mind?

idk what my dad is gonna say about used
i will try tho

[ebon marlin]

With a low budget you either get new laptop that's e-waste that struggles with browsers or an used laptop

[sly nebula]

i dont want soemthing big and hunky
i want it smol and portable so ica ntake it to classes

so im considering a tablet instead
used tablet

[true stirrup]

A whole lot of people in my class in uni use tablets during class for notes and stuff like that
It looks like it works very well

[rigid fjord]

yup, a used laptop would be your best option

[sly nebula]

im edgting towards tthe used tablet

smaller more portable

[ebon marlin]

tablet will be awful for notes

[sly nebula]

really?

how come

[ebon marlin]

I got a thin and light for 120€ that's really great

touchscreen typing is awful on tablets

[sly nebula]

nah dawg
using stylus

[ebon marlin]

i5-10210U and MX350 with a great battery for 120€

[ebon marlin]

even worse

[sly nebula]

considering used ipad

[sly nebula]

i need a stylus for the studying shit maybe niot notes

[true stirrup]

It really isn't
Like I said a whole lot of people in my class in uni use it for that and the notes look phenomenal

[rigid fjord]

tbh a used laptop is better in the sense it also becomes more useful for college and possibly uni work

[sly nebula]

i am years away from uni

samsung tablets...?

[rigid fjord]

it still has the usefulness for being able to last that long

[sly nebula]

btw i have a pc and it is where i will spend 99% of my time but the 1% spent doing studiytng that requires some form of writing or like poretability is gonna be on the tablet

[bitter crater]

in tablet market apple is king

[rigid fjord]

nope, go for an apple ipad, preferably m1 or m2 chip inside

[sly nebula]

ipad pro m1 $355

wtf

oh wait its air

ipad aid 5 for $355

[cosmic lance]

but man, a 2080

[rigid fjord]

which is fine til you have to run a render locally if you delve into anything that's to do with 3d modelling or video editing tbh

[sly nebula]

hell naw
i done that shit
art is not for me

[somber cypress]

Speakers are easy

How much are they asking

[jaunty hemlock]

GBP600, its a 21/22 year laptop, i haven't researched too much about it but apparently NEW they are GBP2200

[somber cypress]

They are asking. Way too much imo

Where I'm at that's a 150 gbp laptop

Lol

[jaunty hemlock]

where are you at 😭

[somber cypress]

Florida U.S.

[sly nebula]

izza $355 for a used ipad pro m1 good deal

[rigid fjord]

that's if it's not the audio codec instead that's the issue

[sly nebula]

looks like a great deal to me

[ionic robin]

A LAPTOP DOES NOT HAVE SPEAKERS? is it a new or refurbished one?

[sly nebula]

might cop it
dude is only an hour away

[rigid fjord]

looks decent

[somber cypress]

Could be codec yeah an even easier repair

Needs to be reset anyway

[sly nebula]

i got negotiate it down to low $300's prob

comes iwth pen and keyboard too

[rigid fjord]

less easier repair instead of a speaker swap, you do realise the codec chip is basically something like a 40 pin ic

[somber cypress]

I thought codec issues were typically software related

[rigid fjord]

that's more driver issues

[somber cypress]

Hmm

I mean if it's both speakers then odds are I guess its either drivers or bad codec

[raw trout]

Help. I have macos sonoma on my macbook and it's refusing to display on my monitor via thunderbolt 2

[somber cypress]

Could just be a bad wire too I know I have put together laptops and smashed the wire for speakers before lol

[ionic robin]

well try and tell us

[rigid fjord]

audio codec chip's could be realtek, mediatek, via, or one of a few others

[somber cypress]

I'm not the one trying I didn't know that codec was a physical thing

[raw trout]

One can find that very ez

[somber cypress]

I mean I guess there has to be something

Can you upgrade a codec I wanna do that lol

[rigid fjord]

sure, it's much easier to find, not much easier to replace for most people

[rigid fjord]

you'd want to make sure the pinouts directly match

[ionic robin]

codec is physical wtf?

[rigid fjord]

the chip itself is, yes

2 different audio codec chips from the same manufacturer

[ionic robin]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-dog-gif-14542099238045824336

[rigid fjord]

the pinouts can differ still per codec chip

[somber cypress]

Well at least I'm not the only one who didn't know codec was a physical piece of hardware lol

Thanks for enlightening me

[rigid fjord]

there are software based codecs, but that's more a translation layer for converting one type of audio to another

[hollow creek]

pog logo tbh

[rigid fjord]

you should see the super IO chip instead, not the chipset but the superI/O chip, and how easily it can be fucked up and brick your mobo

[steel umbra]

realtek should step up their game

[rigid fjord]

what said chip does

only takes damaging the crystal for it's timing to literally brick a mobo

[somber cypress]

Where do I buy one

Lol

[unborn whale]

Would you guys buy a rig with a 4070, i7 14k, 32gb ram for 800?

Im waiting for the price to drop a lil more on this facebook listing

[rigid fjord]

me personally, no, but price wise that's actually not bad

[unborn whale]

Asking cuz im completely out of it when it comes to prices, especially with the 50 series. Idk whats a good price anymore

[grizzled nova]

Oh I have one of those chips on my board

[true stirrup]

Which CPU and motherboard chipset?

[rigid fjord]

yeah, both cpu and chipset communicate with it

[grizzled nova]

Interesting

[raw olive]

@rigid fjord I SLAMMED MY CAR GO TO CARS

[unborn whale]

It doesn’t say

[true stirrup]

Find out
Also ask them to send a picture of the bios version

[true stirrup]

Wtf 8000MT/s

[gloomy sleet]

wild

is that even necessary

[grizzled frost]

no

[true stirrup]

I mean LGA1700 benefits greatly from ram speed

[gloomy sleet]

ok fair but can it even run 8000

[true stirrup]

A 14th gen i7 should be able to yes

[cosmic stratus]

@azure topaz do you know if these work on the precision t5810. I have an extra 10pin on the distro board

[unborn whale]

Asking now

[cosmic stratus]

Im upgrading gpus later, dont plan on selling or just letting my 5700xt sit around so im gonna use it for LSFG

[unborn whale]

I could try lowballing for $500 and see what he says

Seems like he wants it off his hands asap anyways

[ebon marlin]

Can it be replaced with a new one?

Via soldering

[true stirrup]

That's a crazy lowball

[rigid fjord]

no, but with intel cpu's you can really go that high, if not higher

[unborn whale]

True, but they dropped from 1300 to 800 so I think its possible

[rigid fjord]

the crystal can, they're smd ones, basically a 33mhz crystal being used

crystals are always 2 pin btw

oh, there are some 4 pin ones i forgot about

[zinc widget]

I just updated to iOS 26 beta

I hate this

[ebon marlin]

This looks exactly as it but 4pin

[zinc widget]

Damnit Apple

[rigid fjord]

as they're saying it's a 'k' sku, most likely a 14700k

[zinc widget]

I probably just gotta get used to iOS 26

They changed too much stuff

[rigid fjord]

can get them like this

[true stirrup]

Or they just mean 14XXX so k as in thousand. People on Facebook marketplace where I live at love to do that for some reason
But if it's a 14700k knowing the bios version would be quite good to know

[grizzled nova]

Crystal oscillator?

[rigid fjord]

https://www.nuvoton.com/resource-files/NCT6796D_Datasheet_V0_6.pdf@ebon marlin found out about this due to someone doing a reddit post and fucking their mobo up

[rigid fjord]

yup, 33mhz, used for timing on the superIO

[cosmic lance]

[serene rock]

yo guys you have any idea how I can install Windows XP on a SSD?

I'mn having a lot of trouble because it gives me the INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error

[grizzled nova]

This is mine

[serene rock]

my motherboard is an Intel Desktop Board D865GLC

[rigid fjord]

#1027757333117415424

[rigid fjord]

near by it will be the crystal

[ivory mountain]

God damn this forza painter shit made my 7800x3d go to 82c 😭

[rigid fjord]

that looks to be it dude

[ivory mountain]

10c more than cinebench and OCCT

[grizzled nova]

Cool

[rigid fjord]

yeah, basically makes a mobo an expensive paperweight if damaged/removed

[rigid fjord]

you need to find it's manual, that might not be for pcie power

[crimson estuary]

Do yall know where/ if I can install a WiFi adapter

[royal scaffold]

Throughout my life, I believed that a 1920x1080 screen would have 1920/3 actual color combination units across the length because I thought 3 pixels result in 1 color, so wouldn’t it be just 1920/3 color units? I was still not able to figure out why the media editors involving images and videos depict it as if 1 pixel represents 1 color unit.

It was today I realized a pixel is made of 3 sub pixels. So a 1920x1080 screen would have 1920x3 sub-pixels across the length.

My whole life was a lie.
Or is it?

[bitter crater]

which wifi adapter? m.2 or pcie?

i think that board doesnt have a m.2 e-key for wifi, so you'd need a pcie

[grizzled nova]

You could get a pcie WiFi adapter which would go into one of the slots under your gpu
You could also get a usb WiFi dongle which would go into a usb port on the back of the pc

[rigid fjord]

any pcie slot that's free pretty much

[rigid fjord]

technically the wifi card is m.2, the pcie card itself is the adapter

[empty quartz]

Chat

M1 pro 14” macbook base model for $869 cad

Or m4 14” macbook pro base model for $1918 cad before tax

[exotic cape]

In one of these slots or via usb.

The amount of colour a monitor can display is determined by it's colour depth
Most of the monitors you will find will either be 8-bit, 8-bit + FRC (colours flash in a sequence that creates an effect that it is showing a different colour in the 10-bit spectrum) or 10-bit

[empty quartz]

@true stirrup

[cyan bay]

do I need to get this fixed?

cuz I somehow can't do it alone

[left dove]

I already told you how to fix this earlier

[cyan bay]

yea ik but I dont really have another laptop or my friends laptop

[rigid fjord]

you woke the peyton, you get the burns, and no prep H to help with them

[left dove]

All hail the four displays

[cyan bay]

could I somehow just download linux while my windows is fucked?

[left dove]

You need a flash drive to do any of this.

and another computer.

[rigid fjord]

what peyton said

[left dove]

like I'm sorry it sounds blunt & short but that's literally where you're at

[cyan bay]

damn, I guess no pc for a while then💔

[rigid fjord]

peyton used common sesne, it's super effective, Hiroe is left with 1 HP

[true stirrup]

Hm I wish I could help but I know very little about MacBook specs
All I have done with MacBooks in the past was fixing them and settling them up

[gleaming rose]

modern hardware and Linux are at the point where motherboard manufacturers could conceivably have a little Linux system built in to repair OS installs

[brave brook]

m1 base model was 8GB RAM, no ? That is useless for most use cases

[left dove]

I now want a motherboard with a raspi cm header

[cloud sparrow]

Is there sone application/program/script that can delete any and all traces of sound drivers from my system? I'm trying to troubleshoot a specific issue with a sound driver
(Quick question so I don't need to make a thread)

[gleaming rose]

windows reinstall

[empty quartz]

16gb 512gb

[rigid fjord]

based on price the m1 pro, but optionally if there's an m2 version

[left dove]

device manager

[brave brook]

but anyway, if we go by apple timeline, then m1 mac will lose OS updates in 1-2 years. Not sure you want to do that. If you don't need it to be laptop, have you considered base model m4 mac mini ?

[empty quartz]

2-3

[gleaming rose]

its crazy how software as mature and financially backed as windows can be so embarrassingly bad that most issues are fixed by reinstalling it

[empty quartz]

:3

[gleaming rose]

It's a black box held together with duct tape and rusty screws

[brave brook]

well, depends on your definition. Intel Macs are getting last update this month. So there is a high chance M1 macs will only get Tahoe's successor next year, and then no more updates.

[tidal trail]

what 4tb ssd should i get with a $250 budget?

[empty quartz]

M1 pro is a bit longer for support

[jagged perch]

What do you guys think... This case has a fully mesh top, which in principle is "yay airflow" or whatever... But considering there's a big gap between the intake fans and the actual components, this red section just seems like a good place to leak cool air?

Since this pic was taken I have installed a 140mm Noctua exhaust fan as far back as I could get it on the top, so it's kinda assisting in pulling air towards that general part of the case

(I might put a speed reduction adapter on that top one)

What I'm thinking is that perhaps I should add my acouatic damping to that part of the mesh, between intake fans and CPU cooler? That would retain the cool air better, so it all makes it to the cooler. No?

[rigid fjord]

should have gone arctic, wouldn't need the adapter

[jagged perch]

I don't need the adapter, I just don't think it makes sense to have those two fans both pulling equally so close to one another

[rigid fjord]

they should be equal

[zinc widget]

Acoustic dampening is an insulator

Ur reading too deep into it

[jagged perch]

Doesn't matter really, I just have it at hand :p

It's just easy to stick on

[rigid fjord]

yes but it's for vibrations not for anything else

[jagged perch]

Okay, let's not get too deep into the material part, I can just 3D print a cover anyway

The pointis should I block the airflow in that particular area

There's nothing hot/warm underneath it to leak out

[unique olive]

Is the ultra 7 265k decent for gaming

[jagged perch]

The only thing that could ever leak out there is cool air

[grizzled frost]

it is indeed pretty good

not the best, but also not the worst

[unique olive]

With it being 45% off though right now it definitely has the price to performance on its side

[grizzled frost]

45% off of what

MSRP?

[unique olive]

$450 —>$255

Definitely not msrp

They just weren’t selling at msrp

[serene flame]

Whats the best tool kit to buy for building a PC that has everything needed?

[grizzled frost]

any phillips head screwdriver

[unique olive]

Find the nearest snap on truck and go into generational debt

[grizzled frost]

that’s about it, the rest is either unnecessary or included with the compinents

[serene flame]

Okay thank you 😄

[grizzled frost]

i also like to have a hammer to threaten components with

the fear usually makes the components work better

[unique olive]

Sawzalls tend to work better if your going for fear

[grizzled frost]

i don’t own one

i do own several hammers though

i keep one ontop of my server rack to remind them to keep working

[unique olive]

Don’t start I own way to many Milwaukee tools and I barely ever use some of em

[grizzled frost]

i don’t really do a lot of work like that outside of the theatrical workshop i work in

though the workshop provides the tools

[unique olive]

Owning your own brand name tools turns into a very expensive hobby

Milwaukee, Bosch, Hilti, dewalt, and of course Snap on spend all there time trying to make sure you are forever in debt

Oh you spent $350 on a tool you needed well guess what now you can spend another $250 on a single battery cause the ones you have are gonna die on that tool in 3 minutes

[idle spear]

i got a aio for my first gen ryzen

[wheat torrent]

do I trust palit/pny/zotac/gainward gpus

I heard performance difference is usually in the 1-5%

[cloud sparrow]

I do that, but it doesn't fully get rid of the driver

[cosmic stratus]

It can only issue is pwr fluctuation interfering with cpu

But im droping that and jist gonna use a 8 pin to 8×2 splitter

The single 8 pin vga handles (from my testing) ~460w just fine with a power virus run on my 5700xt and no OC protection being tripped

And thats through 6 out 8 of the pins. My future 6700xt and 5700xt set up will at most use 400watts, I probably wont be overclocking the 6700xt much anyway

[shut eagle]

okay i'm going insane with this issue rn

dwm is using 50% gpu when i'm playing games, causing a lot of heat in my gpu even when i'm running simple games

[clear canyon]

what is the gpu

[shut eagle]

3060ti

[clear canyon]

what cooler

[shut eagle]

dual fan asus oc

it's dwm.exe

[clear canyon]

how many case fans do you have and what are they

[shut eagle]

this has never happened before

i have already used DDU to uninstall and reinstall my drivers

[clear canyon]

that wont matter

[shut eagle]

4 thermalright rgb ones and they work fine lol

and a 140mm fractal case fan at the top

[clear canyon]

whats the model of fans

[shut eagle]

fractal north so airflow is great in my case

[clear canyon]

also what rpm does the fans run at

[shut eagle]

Thermalright TL-C12C-S

up to 1550rpm i believe at around 66 cfm

which isn't bad for the price i paid 🤷‍♂️

[clear canyon]

i mean what do you have them set to run at

[shut eagle]

like 50%+ at all times

@clear canyon

i use fancontrol bc it's peak but like

[clear canyon]

ok, how is ur fan intake/exhaust setup?

[shut eagle]

3 intake 2 exhaust, top fan is 140mm

[clear canyon]

sorry, was looking up a review video on the fan to get an idea on it

[shut eagle]

at the back of the case too, my airflow is fine

i know that it's fine

[clear canyon]

would you care to send a pic so I can see where they are

[shut eagle]

why are you assuming it's my airflow and not the actual program that's causing the issue on my computer

😭 because it's not the airflow

[clear canyon]

bc you said the gpu is getting hot, im checking all the boxes

[abstract wigeon]

anything for the benchmarks

[shut eagle]

it's not extremely hot but going close to 70c in powerwash simulator is kinda wild lmfao

[clear canyon]

the grind is real

[clear canyon]

but would you care to send it?

[shut eagle]

here

[clear canyon]

bruh

[shut eagle]

i cba taking a pic 😭

that is like literally how it's laid out

[clear canyon]

that takes more effort than taking a pic

-_-

[shut eagle]

i did that in like 1m

🥀

[clear canyon]

a pic takes 2 sec

redo ur thermal paste

[shut eagle]

it's not on top of my desk dude i don't wanna crawl under my desk

i have had this gpu for like 2 years but it has always been fine temp wise

[clear canyon]

2 years is long enough to need to swap the thermal paste

all depends on environment

[shut eagle]

i live in britain

a relatively cold country

like my pc is doing fucking nothing rn

[clear canyon]

look at what process is doing it

[shut eagle]

that's what dwm is using, it's also reporting as an extra 50% usage when i'm playing games...?

it's increasing heat and noise for fun istg

[clear canyon]

uninstall it

[shut eagle]

dwm ???

it's a windows process 😭 no.

[clear canyon]

i was thinking of somthing else

[shut eagle]

what were u thinking of cause i had to double take

[shut eagle]

yes that's the process

[clear canyon]

ik

[shut eagle]

sooo what do i do

it was even taking gpu in safe mode

[shut eagle]

reinstalling my drivers set things to default, optimal power is the default.

i am a relatively tech literate person so this is driving me bonkers 😭

[clear canyon]

change it to high peformance

[shut eagle]

i have tried that

makes it worse ngl

[clear canyon]

then idk, besides reinstalling windows

[shut eagle]

that might be the case icl 😭

@clear canyon just found a yt vid, could disabling the iGPU help?

[clear canyon]

possibly

[shut eagle]

i think that could be what task manager is reporting and windows is dumb

okay i'll try that if it works i'll kiss the text to speech bot who told me things

I have cachyos on a thumb drive, but I wonder if I should go with windows

[random gyro]

after hours of research , turning off LED off an AIO showed 10c decline in coolant temperatures. Good sensor Corsair

[clear canyon]

thats insane

10c difference over an led

[stable silo]

this really depends
do you need adobe programs and features?
do you play games that have kernel level anticheat?
those are the main two selling points for windows right now

[random gyro]

the sensor might be heaten up by the LED i guess

[viral stump]

Does anyone have a sim rig with one monitor, how do you hold it up infront of ur rig?

[shut eagle]

well this looks incorrect @clear canyon 💀

[clear canyon]

most likely an incorrect reading, I wouldnt worry about that

[shut eagle]

but why is it using my gpu with nothing open

[clear canyon]

idk

[shut eagle]

it's causing issues so

[rain ocean]

No adobe needed. The only one I can think of for anticheat is bf6 because elden ring and nightreign work on linux with easy ac I think?

[clear canyon]

I honestly dont know, never had this issue

[vapid onyx]

who needs elder ring when i have lords of the rings on my ps2

[shut eagle]

[stable silo]

then its a 50/50
bf/cod and all that need the kernel level soyoud have to dual boot
but if not playing it doesnt bother you or you dont care about a dual boot?
go with it. i use arch rn and since cachy is based in arch: its a delight to use - i love experimenting with random github scripts and its a lot of fun!

[midnight rampart]

Hey my motherboard qvl list doesn't show support for my ram. Should I still use it?

[somber cypress]

Probably obvious but did you end task ?

[stable silo]

then cachy or any linux is more than perfect.
its not like 2010 where installing was shit or hard
and most of the games without kernel AC run jsut fine!
maybe dual boot and set it up for a test?

first time i tried linux was debian early 2014 for a server and 2015 for a desktop
it wasnt ready then but it sure is now
been on arch since 2021

[shut eagle]

it's a windows process so it just comes back like a fucking disease

[carmine yew]

try it, at worst it doesn't like the RAM

[rain ocean]

I'm running a memory test for a bit while I'm getting a drink. Also are 3 to 1 fan headers okay to use I have 6 fans for my itx board only like 2 extra headers

[rigid fjord]

3-4 fans on a single header is fine as long as you don't go over what the header is rated for

[clear canyon]

I wouldnt do over 2 depending on what fan you have

[rigid fjord]

i.e. 1A max on a header, means the combo of fans must not exceed 1a

[rain ocean]

I have some noctua 12p reduc 1700 rpm

[clear canyon]

nice, I have them too, but I use them 1 per header

[true drift]

m2 you get that bit better battery life though

[upbeat cove]

m1 pro has more performance cores which makes a massive difference depending on the software they use

[rigid fjord]

though tbf, i'd make sure everything is stored on an external drive when it comes to mac's

[ebon marlin]

why so

[rigid fjord]

if the cpu dies on a mac, you're locked out of everything on the ssd inside it due to the controller being on the cpu

despite their performance, it's one major flaw

[ebon marlin]

Cpu dying is insanely rare though

Rarely ever ever hear of a cpu dying

[upbeat cove]

the ssd dying was my concern

[ebon marlin]

Only times I've seen cpus die is because of bad bios from mobo vendors with the X3D cpus

[rigid fjord]

i've heard of a couple cases, still though, wiser on macs to backup stuff to another external drive/store it on an external drive

[rigid fjord]

the ssd doesn't die on it

[azure topaz]

i think the 5820 only difference is that it’s the dual socket version no? i would expect it too

[rigid fjord]

but apple's infinite wisdom is ssd controller to be built into the cpu

[ionic crest]

bruh why are hdds so expensive where I live? 60=100 bucks for a 1 tb hdd??? Who on earth is paying that just for 1tb of storage!!??

that's cheap for a 5tb drive

but it being wd and usb3, the pcb is directly usb3 type micro b on it and noit an adapter inline

[ionic crest]

what other options do I have for storage besides SSDs and HDDs?

Are 5x 1 TB HDDs cheaper than 1x 5 TB hdd?

how does the pricing work in regards to these?

[tired bear]

larger the drive, the cheaper per gig it is

[ionic crest]

https://www.amazon.in/Western-Digital-Plus-Internal-Drive/dp/B0C4X31Q9F/259-8240014-8501512

[tired bear]

currently cheapest drive is 250$ for 24TB

it is the cheapest, most definitly SMR

[tulip sparrow]

I HATE that SSDS top out at 4tb/8tb and those are NOT cheap either

Also that many(most?) laptops only have like a single m.2 slot

and that the sata slot has basically vanished on laptops these days

[tired bear]

m.2 drives top out at that capacity

[rigid fjord]

they don't top out at 8tb though

[tulip sparrow]

Do you know of any larger sata ssds then that?

[rigid fjord]

16tb and 30tb, over that they're 3.5"

Personally I am planning on rolling a DAS based setup with a MiniPC running linux and a 5 Slot DAS with 8TB hdds onboard

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-neat-part-you-dont-invincible-gif-27194608

That is what I am planning on replacing my old i5 3570k system with

At least AMD 8000 APU based miniPC+DAS

[copper maple]

How do businesses in tech stay profitable after open sourcing the core functionality behind their product?

[tulip sparrow]

Support mainly honestly

[lapis furnace]

chat, just got a great news ... my lemokey X3 is arriving in 3 days 🔥 excited

[tulip sparrow]

At least I am pretty sure that is the case

That the external GPU Dock?

[rigid fjord]

you mean nas

[copper maple]

What does that usually involve? I've heard about red hat Linux providing support for their enterprise users

But idk what that would involve

Surely the enterprise would have it's own specialist

[grizzled frost]

can’t have a specialist who specializes in everything

so instead you have a specialist in your specific software, then outsource most anything else

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.amazon.com/TerraMaster-External-Enclosure-Support-Diskless/dp/B005IOLBT2 something like this paired with a Mini PC

[tired bear]

SLA, 24/7 support

[grizzled frost]

so when something breaks in the middle of the night that costs you thousands per minute, you have someone to call to fix it

sounds hyperbolic, but sometimes it’s actually more

[tired bear]

and if they dont pick up they get hit with SLA break penalties

if its negotiated

[grizzled frost]

You offer 24/7, you get 24/7

[tired bear]

24 days, 7 months per year

[copper maple]

In the case of targeting smaller businesses I guess you would just lock certain features behind the paid version instead of relying on support

[gleaming rose]

many different ways - typically it's the first one who does it that wins (see apple, many copied but they were first so they're dominant)

[tulip sparrow]

24/7 Priority support

[gleaming rose]

I would also consider making a license that prevents using your code to compete against your business

[copper maple]

Yeah that's a good option I guess, this way businesses could use it but not competitors

[tired bear]

here is how proxmox does it

[ionic crest]

https://www.amazon.in/Passport-Portable-External-Drive-Black/dp/B07VTFN6HM

I absolutely hate how expensive it is.

about 40 bucks for 1 TB here.

[tulip sparrow]

Basically instead of a standard NAS where both the CPU and drives are in a single box running a dedicated NAS OS (TRueNAS) or something I plan on rolling separate boxes for drives and system and NOT using a dedicated NAS setup but more of a HTPC+DAS setup that just happens to also act as a NAS setup

[rigid fjord]

you do realise you can use a m.2 to sata adapter on a minipc, and use a separate power source

[tulip sparrow]

Would that run 5 sata based 3.5" 8tb drives in raid 5?

[tired bear]

dont use that as it is not straight HBA

[rigid fjord]

yes, ask @tidal geyser in how they have done it

[tulip sparrow]

I am looking for at least 20TB of redundent based storage

I had a 3TB drive with a LOT Of stuff backed up on it die on me and I am NOT looking to repeat that

[tired bear]

take a look at jonsbo n3 case

[mental geyser]

i need to know something

but there's no software chat or anything so this is the best I have

@tulip sparrow a nas made using a nuc, made by @tidal geyser

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah I was betting it was open and taking up more space then I am looking to take up

is it safe to assume that a 4 slot gpu will perform better than a 2 slot gpu cooling wise (same gpu)

I know the aorus master or whatever is the best gpus you can buy I think

[dawn tundra]

Nope

https://www.androidauthority.com/cheap-diy-nas-server-3348392/

[tired bear]

it isnt quite the same, that is an actual server with ILO and ecc

[wheat torrent]

this thing is quite a bit cheaper

but is pny good gpu brand?

[tulip sparrow]

I was saying I could keep my current Case and replace the system inside with a xeon/older threadripper(epyc) setup

[wheat torrent]

also this thing looks like I would need a gpu support?

[tired bear]

i got pny and pny manufactures nvidia workstation cards so it is quite good

[tulip sparrow]

I am seeing about $260 for the DAS itself on amazon on my end

[wheat torrent]

its one of the cheapest option I have also

[rigid fjord]

you could literally get one that is a nas for that

[tulip sparrow]

Same price for at least a AMD 8000 series APU?

[tired bear]

https://www.amazon.com/ORICO-Type-C-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B0CZL8KPLG
this might be better as it doesent have raid bullshit

[wheat torrent]

this is the cheapest option but it looks really odd

it looks aliexpress type gpu, cheap

[tulip sparrow]

@tired bear problem is that I am looking at redudency here so a RAID setup is the best option for that LOL

[tired bear]

no, raid will be done on software level and not hardware level

[tulip sparrow]

Like I said earlier Raid 5 wityh 8TB drives which should give me about 20TBs worth of usable storage

[tired bear]

btw can someone give me some insight into this:
Some gpus have 2, 3 or 4 slots barkets, yet this one has 2 slots but it looks like it has another slot worth of height, what's this about?

[tired bear]

sure but please use ZFS

[tulip sparrow]

I am currently using Bazzite on my old i5 3570K+2060 Super setup and yeah it has its issues (mainly stemming from nvidia)

I am looking to switch to an all AMD based miniPC running at least 8000 series since my Laptop is a 8840HS

and the performance of that has been about what I would want for the HTPC setup

[tired bear]

is the goal file sharing or stuff like plex/jellyfin

[tulip sparrow]

End goal is filesharing+watching/ light gaming(emulation mainly) on the TV its hooked up to

as well as a few "Game" servers like Conan Exiles/Mincraft and the like if need be

So yeah looking at 20tb for media/gaming(isos)/game sever storage

Which is why your standard "NAS" setup with its weak "Atom"/ARM class SOC won't be cutting it for me

[warped coral]

i got a question if anyone could help me decide, im thinking to upgrade from a rtx 3060, i played rdr before and game was running around 60 fps highest or almost highest graphics but few days ago i started playing warzone and i had to lower my graphics to lowest and just running around i get around 100 fps but i get random frame drops and they are inconsistent, thinking between a 5070 or 5070 ti but the ti version is 315$ more and wanted to know if its even worth spending that much more if it has just slightly more performance

[barren meadow]

Should i keep or get rid of my thunder bolt 3 PCIe expansion card?

[tired bear]

this looks like a job for proxmox, atleast 2 vm's one would be truenas, other would be whatever distro you use for gaming (gpu will be pass through to it)

[tulip sparrow]

Gaming would likely be Bazzite or something similar

Since it would need controller support on the big screen

[tired bear]

With mini pc you are severly limited on expansion

[rigid fjord]

wish.com linus there

[tulip sparrow]

The 8840HS in my laptop has been plenty for my needs

[ebon marlin]

What resolution are you playing on? 1080?

[rigid fjord]

a mini pc with a 7840hs/7940hs also be having the same performance tbh dude

[warped coral]

2560 x 1440

[tulip sparrow]

@rigid fjord yeah thats the current plan paired with a DAS for the storage side of things

[ebon marlin]

See for yourself if it's worth it an extra 300$ for an extra 20 frames

[tulip sparrow]

I was thinking 256/512gb internal ssd on the mini for os/cache of the 20tb I would be getting out of the raid 5 setup of the das

The $120 5bay DAS would be plenty I would think

[cosmic stratus]

Yea I after further inspection I found out it works fine but cant really put anything to power hungry in it, the rappid pwr fluctuation would interfere with the cpu

Also I tested and did 460watts with a 6 pin plugged into the main 8 pin power

An 8 pin splitter will do fine for the dual gpu set up

[vague glacier]

I know they're stupid and expensive but I love these silly little cases for the raspberry pi

[cosmic stratus]

6700xt only uses 230watts and the 5700xt doesnt use more than 170 keeping fps at 165

Even 240

[tulip sparrow]

D11 style case will be expesive I bet LOL

[cosmic stratus]

How much is this raspary pie crap

[vague glacier]

$80

[warped coral]

thank you bro ill look into it

[cosmic stratus]

Wait I see an nvme

Is that fake or do those actually support it

[tulip sparrow]

As for my desktop I am looking at a 7900 XT for about $630

[cosmic stratus]

Oh

[cosmic stratus]

Getting a 6700xt for 285

[tulip sparrow]

I ccurrently have a 3070 Ti myself

[ebon marlin]

Damn that's pretty expensive for a 6700xt

[cosmic stratus]

Im in the us so

Thats the best im gonna find

7700xt is like 350

[ebon marlin]

I got my 6800xt for 300€

[cosmic stratus]

Euros

[ebon marlin]

And they go for that regularly here

Not much dif

EU also usually more expensive than US

[cosmic stratus]

Welp apparently us market is shit rn

[ebon marlin]

Sometimes you'd see 6950xt's going for 350€

[cosmic stratus]

I need specifically this gigabyte eagle since its a 2 slot

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah GPU pricing in the US has been SHIT all year long

[cosmic stratus]

Better

[cosmic stratus]

6800xts go for 350+

In the states

[azure topaz]

says whom

wdym interfere with the cpu

[plush wren]

shocked

[ebon marlin]

Should I get this polarr

[left dove]

i win

[dawn tundra]

Your parents hate you 😭

[cosmic idol]

girl bestie's cat 🙏 I love him

[random junco]

straight line

[midnight rampart]

Yo guys I have a question
I have my old motherboard's heatsink
Can I reuse it? Maybe use a rubberband and stick it to the nvme slot below it?

[brittle lichen]

does anyone know of any fixes for the DCOM errors and the TPM errors? my pc started crashing out of no where last night and idk what it could be so I looked at the event log

[bitter crater]

one of my ssd heatsinks is attached with rubberbands, so probably will work with yours too

[rigid fjord]

#1027757333117415424

[random junco]

heatsink for what

[cosmic stratus]

A dell forum

[azure topaz]

just send it

[cosmic stratus]

User found out the gpu would randomly "crash" over heavy pwt consumption

[ivory mountain]

guys idk what game to emulate im in a game slump rn

[cosmic stratus]

It stopped after dropping it to like 250

[azure topaz]

if the psu is rather for an ample amount of power it should be able to do that power lol

[cosmic stratus]

Yea one sec

[midnight rampart]

Ssd

[azure topaz]

seems like their gpu just sucked

[azure topaz]

no i mean like just do whatever you wanted to do

it will probably be fine

[midnight rampart]

Ye so I guess I will re use it

[cosmic stratus]

oh

[ebon marlin]

Gay cat

[cosmic stratus]

That single 8 pin has some robust 12v rails

[cosmic idol]

so true 💔

[cosmic stratus]

[rigid fjord]

why are you plugging in a pcie power into a connector that's not for pcie

[cosmic stratus]

No thats the 8 pin for vga or pcie power

The other 10 pin was gonna be used so I can work an additional gpu

[cosmic idol]

vga in 2025 😔

[cosmic stratus]

But the gpu set up wont use more than 400watts if not less

[cosmic idol]

why bro so angry

[cosmic stratus]

And it handles 460 though just 6 out of 8 pins so

[formal sonnet]

Probably angry because there's too much clutter on the desk to lay down.

[cosmic idol]

lmfao 😭

[cosmic stratus]

Thats what its called anyway. On the board

[ebon marlin]

That's true as he likes rest on my desk but it's always way too cluttered to lay down

[random junco]

vga is tuff

[rigid fjord]

angy because not allowed to knock stuff off the desk

[exotic cape]

anyone know why when turning off bluetooth headphones connected to my pc makes all audio devices stop working?

my cursed things are at it again

[cosmic stratus]

A cat would love my desk. So much horizontal space

[rigid fjord]

found something that might make you cry

[ivory mountain]

bowser

[cosmic stratus]

Took me an extra half second to recognize that

[cosmic stratus]

Is that optical vga

[slow sable]

optical rs-232

[rigid fjord]

nope

[rigid fjord]

i wish

[cosmic stratus]

Well ofc no but it looks like vga with fibr optic

[cosmic stratus]

Mmm

[slow sable]

do you have room temperature iq?

vga has three rows of pins

[random junco]

💔

[cosmic stratus]

"Looks like"

[rigid fjord]

actually, originally it was 9 pins

[random junco]

dvi>vga

[cosmic stratus]

Hdmi>displayport

[random junco]

purely for sake of the physical connector

[cosmic stratus]

[random junco]

fuck no

[rigid fjord]

DP is the modern form of DVI

[random junco]

we love dp and we love dvi

[cosmic stratus]

Hdmi is modern form of vga?

[rigid fjord]

nope

[random junco]

hdmi is greedy

[cosmic stratus]

Gotta pay them royalties

For the name

[rain ocean]

Getting it put together

[formal sonnet]

DON'T GIVE THE PRINTER COMPANIES ANY MORE IDEAS. Their tank based printers are just good enough that I can recommend them as Inkjet printers... but if they implement something silly like this, I'm out.

[formal sonnet]

Absolutely not. DisplayPort offers locking / latching connectors, and far more conversion versatility. Oh, and MST daisy chaining... MST is love; MST is life. ❤️

[random junco]

i love the locks but once i pulled it without pressing the mechanism and the inner connector got stuck in my gpu port lmfao. was a pain to recover

still love dp

[slow sable]

Editing rn and I’m very pleased with the footage! (Excuse the music I know I’m zesty)

[wet ember]

Is this new? Grey screen after bootup

[random junco]

happens to me all the time on my server pc. js let it load

sometimes it takes a goddamn while

[wet ember]

I ain't letting it load bro. This is booting from an m.2 not a hdd

[left dove]

thats just ips glow

[wet ember]

Brotha what

It's a VA panel

[random junco]

wait

[left dove]

Oh then it's backlight glow

[plain cypress]

Mediocre panel trying it's best to display black

[wet ember]

I'm talking about windows not booting into the lock screen lol

Not the monitor

[random junco]

bro just wait, its loading 💔

[wet ember]

It's not loading the fuck

[plain cypress]

Hit reset

[random junco]

idk how long it takes, whenever i see iti just go to the kitchen, eat something and come back to see it loaded

[wet ember]

Wow I didn't do that like 5 times for the past 5 minutes

[random junco]

restarting makes it load LONGER

[wet ember]

I leave my PC unattended with my roommates and this is what happens

[plain cypress]

Try it a 6th time

Does it show bios splash screen at all?

[wet ember]

Yeah

[random junco]

this is after post

before lock screen loads

[left dove]

OHHHH

[plain cypress]

Have you tried reinstalling windows

[wet ember]

Oh finally it loaded

[random junco]

told u

🤦‍♂️

[wet ember]

Lol I'm a little washed with windows. I've been using my MacBook for the past week

[left dove]

yooo based polaroid

cat when they can't blow up my house 😔

[sage ocean]

is this good internet (ethernet)

it costs 109.99 a month

[grizzled frost]

about as good as 1100/27 download/upload

[fickle ivy]

how do you fuck up THIS BAD when making an operating system

[sage ocean]

is that a good speed or no

[formal sonnet]

Terrible upload for that price. Even on DOCSIS (COAX) you should aim for either 125Mbps or 200Mbps upload.

[sage ocean]

thats like the fastest ive ever gotten

usually its 15-20

[grizzled frost]

unfortunate for that price

[sage ocean]

i think its DOCSIS 3.0 not 3.1

[random junco]

i get better for 35% of the price

[grizzled frost]

not being DOCSIS 3.1 is criminal

3.1 came out in 2013

[sage ocean]

well to make it feel worse

[left dove]

3.1 baybeee

[sage ocean]

the people with fiber to home, and 1000/1000 symmetrical

pay the same exact price as me, because theyre all the same plan

[grizzled frost]

yeah that’s standard for fiber internet

[sage ocean]

they just advertise it, as Up to 500+* for me

[grizzled frost]

what isp

[sage ocean]

Armstrong

and for the longest time, all of their plans had data caps except the most expensive one

[formal sonnet]

Cheese and Internet. What a company.

[sage ocean]

No theyre different

I dont understand why they would do such a thing

How is the same price, giving wildly different internet quality

[plain cypress]

I got FTTH 2000/2000

[sage ocean]

lorh has vanished

[carmine yew]

They're also the strongest family of alchemists to have ever carried the watches!

https://tenor.com/view/fma-armstrong-alex-louis-armstrong-fullmetal-alchemist-flex-gif-16673286613486638806

[sage ocean]

do you think its the aging US infrastructure

or is it being limited by my ISP

[formal sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/thegoon-bigoldgoon-ted-lasso-yes-yes-yes-yes-gif-701975896996955852

[sage ocean]

huh

[formal sonnet]

It's a bit of column A + B. Upgrading the coax plant to High-split (required for faster speeds) requires lots of money, time, and planning, all of which also likely require permission from bureacratic municipalities.

[sage ocean]

so both?

[carmine yew]

yes

[formal sonnet]

Also, an ISP cannot upgrade their coax plant to High-split and also continue allowing non-DOCSIS 3.1 compatible equipment to exist on the network. (This is an oversimplification, but is more or less true.)

[sage ocean]

so, they would have to upgrade a lot of their to home networks

in areas where its not at least DOCSIS 3.1 or Fiber Optics

[carmine yew]

probably to the scale of tens / hundreds of millions of dollars in home routers alone

nevermind the billions of network infra work

[sage ocean]

Theyve been " upgrading" all new customers and service-upgrading customers to a mesh topology

They are giving out these Plume Home pods

[formal sonnet]

OH GOD NOT PLUME PODS. 🤢 🤮
