[tidal geyser]

i wish i could use the power of pressure

[pale flint]

just fart dude

[tidal geyser]

when was the last checkup?

[haughty compass]

idk why i spent all my microsoft rewards on robux 😭

[rose stream]

Kind of annoying to work with Chrome on that thing though, since Google's Chrome is mostly treated as third-party software and cannot be updated without totally reinstalling it if you don't want to fiddle with the built-in package manager via command line.

[pale flint]

my ac has built in heater 👌✨️👍

[distant frigate]

Last year

It gets yearly inspections

[ebon marlin]

My pc has a built in heater

[rose stream]

I tend to prefer to avoid having to use CLI whenever possible, so it's annoying when that happens.

[tidal geyser]

hope you also got some sensors around the house

[exotic valley]

after slight modding, the back of the laptop can reach 80C consistently while playing youtube videos.

[pale flint]

i have built in heater

[tidal geyser]

i hate cisco stuff

[jaunty apex]

Nah

[pale flint]

cisco webex

[tidal geyser]

aint that a security nightmare

[pale flint]

idk we used it in covid for classes

[distant frigate]

The fact that this still works is amazing tbh

[ebon marlin]

I have the opportunity to get a 12450HX + Rtx 2050 laptop for 250€ but I promised pickup and then later realised the dude lives almost 3 hours away from me

[distant frigate]

Although I bet older furnaces were built better

Atleast more heavy duty

[rose stream]

Oh Lord, it's crazy you just out-of-the-blue mentioned that.
Cisco's tools might be one of the best in industry, but that doesn't change how annoying it is configure stuff remotely with their main one.

[ebon marlin]

I have to somehow convince him to ship it to me

[pale flint]

cpu kinda better than mine but gpu not

[tidal geyser]

ngl not even a great deal

[pale flint]

my laptop was 780 euros brand new

[ebon marlin]

It is when Gtx 1650 laptops go here for that much

[rose stream]

I'm fortunate enough to not require it for the home setup in any capacity, but I dread messing with it in labs for cybersecurity classes.

[distant frigate]

I looked at the blower motor. It was pretty dusty so I cleaned it. Looked at the burners. Looked fine. the flue looks pretty good.

[ebon marlin]

I was offered 250€ for my i5 9300h Gtx 1650 laptop with a broken fan lol

[tidal geyser]

well

[ebon marlin]

Rtx 2050 is basically just a 3050

[rose stream]

Even my instructors, who are qualified senior specialists, get aggravated with it at times.

[pale flint]

i dont think so

[ebon marlin]

Tpu relative performance isn't accurate whatsoever

[tidal geyser]

true das 30w one

[pale flint]

2050 performs less

[azure topaz]

ur also comparing to a desktop card

[ebon marlin]

By like 1%

The 2050 uses the same architecture as the 30 seires

[exotic valley]

i wanna build a cheap space heater using rtx 3080 20GB. is it worth it to invest $1500 for a 1500 watts space heater made of quad (4) rtx 3080 20GB mining cryptocurrency?

[pale flint]

😡

[tidal geyser]

na most gaming laptops ran the 1650 at full power as well full power aint a lot

[azure topaz]

"cheap"

[swift stream]

i fear my iPhone 16 plus battery will be savored forever considering apple is adding 120hz to the base models

[azure topaz]

why 20gb you dont need 20gb for most mining dags

[exotic valley]

rtx 3080 20GB is very affordable here in maindland China, and you can get one for $350 with three years warranty

[azure topaz]

30 vs 75w

[pale flint]

finally

[exotic valley]

maybe runs some AI models sometimes?

[azure topaz]

i wouldnt buy any reworked card

[swift stream]

my iphone 16 plus still runs 60hz, so my battery is still better

[ebon marlin]

Oh ye and a 60hz screen lol

[exotic valley]

cuz 20GB model is not more expensive than the 10GB model

[tidal geyser]

but yea no it is the fact if that laptop got a 30w 2050 then i would way rather take a 75w 1650 laptop instead

[azure topaz]

and 1500$ is not a cheap space heater 💀

[exotic valley]

they come with a 3 years warranty

[tidal geyser]

o well go for it and see what ya can get

[azure topaz]

totally honored

[pale flint]

you can switch to 60 manually bruh

[distant frigate]

Ngl the most thing I’m worried about for the furnace is the heat exchanger

If its cracked then the furnace is trashed.

[azure topaz]

if i import a 20gb 3080 off super buy and it breaks theyd send assassins to my house before they send help

[swift stream]

oh right

[ebon marlin]

This is what I can get for 250€ barely used and ram upgraded to faster 5600mhz 32gb ram
https://www.lenovo.com/in/en/p/laptops/loq-laptops/lenovo-loq-essential-gen-9-15-intel/83lk0032in

[pale flint]

👌✨️

alteast its ddr5

[south arrow]

[exotic valley]

not really, i know alot reputable merchants on pinduoduo (premium version temu that sells actually good cheap products domestically in China with awesome customer support) that sells 3080 20GB for $350 and comes with 3 years warranty

[tidal geyser]

o its the ddr5 version

[pale flint]

also 32gb

[tidal geyser]

the gpu is still such a massive turn off but meh should be built well

[exotic valley]

all stores have certificates issued by the chinese goverment and offer supports for an extensive amont of time

[azure topaz]

it just seems suspicious and is not at all a good way to accomplish any of your goals

[exotic valley]

and most stores existed more than 10 years

[exotic valley]

its more like the standard way

[ebon marlin]

It's just a 3050 mobile for 250€ this is a steal

[flat cliff]

I'm doing a project where I have to splice some USB cables and solder a patch job to connect to some pogo under the watch band for a smart watch so I can flash the firmware.

I do not know how to do this as I have a soldering iron but I've only soldered wire to wire and most projects have ended in failure (but I'm getting better as of late).

Anyone able to help me figure out how to splice the wires and what pad to connect what to for flashing the firmware on a computer?

[tidal geyser]

well its not

[azure topaz]

??? fucking 4 rtx 3080s at 350w is not a normal way to heat your home

did you forget that there was an original point here 😭

[exotic valley]

we can get cheap brand new AMD cards directly from their official stores though however chinese dont like AMD

[tidal geyser]

its like saying a computer with a 9070 xt or something is just like a 5070 ti since they have about the same performance

[exotic valley]

to mine cryptocurrency?

[azure topaz]

and heat your home

[ebon marlin]

But it has the same exact features as the 3050

[exotic valley]

ohh you reminded me

[mortal mantle]

bruh what are the guides doing differently than me lol (boots into recovery in sideload mode but doesn't show up in adb devices)

[azure topaz]

how much does a 3080 20gb make a day on current rates of whatever shit coin you gpu mine now

because i know its not fucking much

[tidal geyser]

you blind

the 3050 has 2X the bus

[exotic valley]

no idea, i will wait for Linus to test that idea out

[carmine yew]

Edge is Chrome with a different face

[tidal geyser]

64 vs 128

[azure topaz]

probably negative money

[ebon marlin]

Yet they perform the same

[mortal mantle]

and adb sideload doesn't work

[tidal geyser]

do they?

[carmine yew]

Edge stopped being its own browser in like 2019 or 2020 or something. Edge is dead. Chrome currently owns the internet.

[pale flint]

wow

[exotic valley]

prob looking at how steep the nvidia cads losing their value

[ebon marlin]

https://youtu.be/MIimIAMv7sk?si=F0tscO3eiqu0f5mG

[mortal mantle]

and Windows is being Windows (again)

[carmine yew]

Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, and a list of other browsers are all Chromium with their own front end.

There's no significant inherent differences between them.

[pale flint]

did you know some manufacturers limit the power consumption of gpu

[next hill]

swift oc or pulse?

[carmine yew]

The only mainstream browser today that is not Chrome? Is Firefox

[pale flint]

well it could be more or less depending

[azure topaz]

i think swift is technically going to be better

[ebon marlin]

12% difference at most but the difference is 3fps lol

[azure topaz]

but usually htose two are both in the "middle end" section

[carmine yew]

yes, it's called a bios / firmware

[brave brook]

i only ever used it for Overwatch coins 🤷‍♂️

[pale flint]

3 fps feels like a lot when you get 50 fps on newer games

[tidal geyser]

WTF das at 40w

[pale flint]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

what gaming laptop runs their gpu at 40w

[exotic valley]

Although I would say AMD cards are dropping value the fastest here in China

[brave brook]

overheating one

[carmine yew]

if it's a 2050 or 3050? probably a bunch lol

[exotic valley]

You can easily get brand new 9070xt for $600 this month

And it’s gonna dip below $600 next month

[azure topaz]

i like my nvidia

[carmine yew]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[tidal geyser]

also 11th gen cpu in one of the laptops

[azure topaz]

nah chinas market is in fact absurd

[exotic valley]

Potentially 9070xt brand new at $500 the end of this year

[azure topaz]

no

[tidal geyser]

well ok both were 11th gen tbf

[exotic valley]

This is the trend for 9070xt

Can you see the curve?

Unit in Chinese yuan

[tidal geyser]

3050 is cheaper

[exotic valley]

Today I looked at the market, and they sell 4200 Yuan for 9070xt brand new

[azure topaz]

is that tax included or no

[exotic valley]

Ofc tax included

[gloomy sleet]

no you didnt mate

[exotic valley]

All price here in China already includes tax

[tidal geyser]

yes?

[gloomy sleet]

an lk67 for $25?

[next hill]

swift would be that price and lots of shipping, while pulse would be a local purchase but its 20 more than shows here

[exotic valley]

When I say $600 for 9070xt, I meant $600 with 13% of taxes included

[azure topaz]

then get pulse

[tidal geyser]

it has the extra buttons and arrow keys?

[gloomy sleet]

sure

but its not the same keyboard bro

[tidal geyser]

its not a 65%?

[azure topaz]

so its 70$ below msrp

[next hill]

cool, so only need to order 3/8 parts outside my country

[tidal geyser]

why convert, why not use the china MSRP

[azure topaz]

the china msrp is 4999

[exotic valley]

Yeh, and looking at the current trend, its gonna prob reach $500 the end of this year

[gloomy sleet]

sure

but it wouldnt be the same keyboard

[tidal geyser]

wat

[gloomy sleet]

i doubt its even the same layout

[exotic valley]

Cuz the hugest price cut comes in around November

When the Chinese Black Friday happens

And stays at that price

At least historically

[tidal geyser]

dis da layout

[gloomy sleet]

thats not the same layout

[tidal geyser]

its not 65%?

[crystal pond]

Kinda tempted ngl https://www.newegg.com/powercolor-reaper-rx9070xt-16g-a-radeon-rx-9070-xt-16gb-graphics-card-triple-fans/p/N82E16814131871?

[gloomy sleet]

thats a different 65% layout

[tidal geyser]

what kind of 65% layout is it

[rose stream]

. . .
Oh!

[crystal pond]

Huh it won't embed

[azure topaz]

i would just pay 50$ more for a 5070ti

[rose stream]

Lemme just... Try something again.
https://wccftech.com/nvidia-unveils-its-newest-rubin-cpx-ai-gpus/

[gloomy sleet]

expanded

[rose stream]

It WORKS again!

[gloomy sleet]

with a knob too

[crystal pond]

Yeah that's one of the things holding me back

[azure topaz]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Cpbypg/asus-prime-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-16-gb-video-card-prime-rtx5070ti-16g

[rigid fjord]

looks like a standard 65% layout

[tidal geyser]

what is this then 70%?

[gloomy sleet]

65%

that layout is far more common then your 65% layout

[tidal geyser]

huh?

[gloomy sleet]

thats a standard 65% expanded layout with a knob

[gloomy sleet]

compact 65% is very uncommon

especially for top case designs

[tidal geyser]

i have seen this layout way way way more than i have on the one you have

[gloomy sleet]

how???

[tidal geyser]

with my eyes

in here, of peoples setups

[gloomy sleet]

thats one of the most common 65% layouts out there

id assume compact is only for like tray mounts tbf

[tidal geyser]

i think it might also be for you know compact

[rigid fjord]

what sim posted is the standard for 65%

[gloomy sleet]

no it isnt

[harsh vector]

razer deathadder v2 X or logitech g305? I'm looking for a budget mice that last long. I don't do competitive gaming, just single player games.

[tidal geyser]

it is

[gloomy sleet]

thats a compact 65

i only ever see that on tray mounts

[rigid fjord]

nope, quite literally is

[gloomy sleet]

no it isnt

[azure topaz]

attack shark x3

[gloomy sleet]

expanded is the standard for 65 and 75% boards

[rigid fjord]

nope

[gloomy sleet]

it is.

[rigid fjord]

the expanded ones are non-standard layout

[gloomy sleet]

no they arent lol

[next hill]

since motherboard has 4+ fan connectors, should i even get the fan hub incase?

[rigid fjord]

i'm looking through several layout examples and designs

[tidal geyser]

65% then 60% another 60%

[rigid fjord]

only if the fans don't daisy chain

[next hill]

p12 pst so they do have chain

[rigid fjord]

then no hub needed ever

[tidal geyser]

what looks to be another 60%

[gloomy sleet]

that 65% isnt your layout lol

[tidal geyser]

what is it then 66%?

[gloomy sleet]

65%

its the other most common layout

behind expanded 65%

[next hill]

is the core reactor ve all fine, or should look more money and get regular core reactor?

[tidal geyser]

what layout is it then

[gloomy sleet]

this

65%

[tidal geyser]

m yes let me just check out "this" layout in google

[rigid fjord]

examples from multiple sites showing what a standard 65% is

[royal loom]

I've just read that my Rx 6400 is supposed to be bad at 1080p lowest settings gaming

[azure topaz]

yes

[royal loom]

https://tenor.com/view/mario-sad-gif-11498011059624046168

[south arrow]

If my 10 key is missing feels wrong

[azure topaz]

what could you possibly expect

[rigid fjord]

it only exists to point at nvidia and go "at least i'm not a gtx1630"

[gloomy sleet]

"standard" 65% doesnt have ctrl fn and alt on the right

[royal loom]

Amd

[gloomy sleet]

it only has 2 keys with a slit in between that and the arrow keys

[tidal geyser]

its mostly just 60% or 100% or TKL on SFFPC

[gloomy sleet]

when a 65 has ctrl alt and fn its typically expanded 65% because the case has to be slightly longer if it isnt just a plain expanded

[royal loom]

I mean I had a good time with my Rx 6400 but I'm planning on upgrading to an Rx 9070 xt

[rigid fjord]

no encoders and only x4 speed, and still beats a gtx 1630 which has encoders and runs on pcie x8 speed

[tidal geyser]

not even sure why tf this matters at all

[gloomy sleet]

neither

[tidal geyser]

you started it

so i would hope you knew why

[gloomy sleet]

you did by saying you have the same board as me but for $25

[tidal geyser]

when did i do that

[rigid fjord]

remember, he likes to argue just to argue

[south arrow]

Today will be good, even though im completely exhausted at 9am already

[gloomy sleet]

here.

[south arrow]

manifesttts

[azure topaz]

youre gaslighting me

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[azure topaz]

he said like that

he did nto ssay he got the same keyboard for 25$

🤯

[tidal geyser]

also, "like"

[rigid fjord]

key words being "like that", not exactly the same

[gloomy sleet]

this conversation proved that you in fact did not buy an lk67 for £25

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/dogs-funny-animals-pheven-steven-tongue-gif-3633704481812477152

[azure topaz]

that wasnt the point

[tidal geyser]

i did not say £

[azure topaz]

youre the only one who took it like that yo

[rigid fjord]

drinking time

[gloomy sleet]

how is this relevant

$25 is less then £25 even

[rigid fjord]

he can't convert currencies for shit

[gloomy sleet]

sure

[tidal geyser]

yes?

[thorn pewter]

abt hwat 28ish usd is 25 euro?

[gloomy sleet]

thats why i do the conversions off the top of my head and get them right every time then

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

24

[thorn pewter]

???

[gloomy sleet]

so even more proof that you absolutely didnt buy an lk67 for $25

[tidal geyser]

there is a hefty difference

[tidal geyser]

i never said i did??

[gloomy sleet]

$25 is about £23

[stray portal]

Will am6 have ddr6? Rn it's a trend

am3 - > ddr3
Am4 - > ddr4
Am5 - > ddr5

[gloomy sleet]

i literally just showed you where you did tf

[thorn pewter]

oh no 25 euro is 29 usd

[tidal geyser]

not even close

[gloomy sleet]

this has to be ragebait

[azure topaz]

bro what

[azure topaz]

youre trying to reverse psychology us

into getting rage baited

youve gotta be bricked

[south arrow]

Probs, strong maybe

[tidal geyser]

no i was the one who did it?

[distant frigate]

https://youtu.be/lxFd5xAN4cg?si=HHVH1IqXsJHGvlZB

Oh yeah here’s the video I was talking about earlier

[gloomy sleet]

i was thinking of $25 to euros which is 21

[gloomy sleet]

bricked?

[tidal geyser]

why tf are you using euro now

[gloomy sleet]

idk

im not lol

[tidal geyser]

.

[south arrow]

Ngl I totes missed the point of the keyboard convo buttt get one you like lol, wired preferably for now

[thorn pewter]

am bricked up now

[gloomy sleet]

tf does that have any relevance too

[gloomy sleet]

?

[thorn pewter]

interstate 6...7 funny ig

[gloomy sleet]

how is that funny at all tf

[thorn pewter]

idk thats what am figuring out

[azure topaz]

completed his own goal of ragebaiting someone but it was himself

[thin plover]

modern "meme" is literally just the number six and seven next to each other

[tidal geyser]

i have a feeling someone has spent way too much time, energy and money on keyboards.

[thin plover]

people say ive not spent enough

[tidal geyser]

i love how i did not even see his keyboard i was only responding to you saying arrow keys

[tidal geyser]

it was a question not a statement

at least i know you're not a teacher in english

also double negative

[rose stream]

Where's your double positive?

[gloomy sleet]

a question disagreeing with my statement

[tidal geyser]

who is the other person who says you need to spend more

anyways my god this is dumb

[brave brook]

most i spent on mech keyboard was i think 65 euros 😄 . But then i just want a keyboard, not a "life changing experience"

[tidal geyser]

a keyboard is a tool

as always with plenty of tools spend more money it will be nicer

[brave brook]

talking about audiophile stuff... there is this

@muted sluice

[tidal geyser]

why get more of something you have so much of they have to be stored by your feet

[primal grotto]

anybody got suggestions on a non subscription based security camera system
prefered hardline or POE

[tidal geyser]

well any PoE camera well any good ones you can just set and forget and just use frigate or something on a home server

[primal grotto]

frigate looks cool ok ill take a look into that
the only ones i have experience with are from night owl
but they have an issue with sometimes it records people and sometimes they record AFTER the person has left
usually its an amazon delivery

[tidal geyser]

why

[shy saffron]

is this a RIP power supply?

[primal grotto]

[tidal geyser]

most normal systems once you get to the PoE level record all the time and just over writes the old fotage

[tidal geyser]

probs the least likely to give these errors

[royal stone]

is it normal for brave to be using so much ram

[tidal geyser]

that is very low

[random junco]

i use brave and it doesnt even use that much ram

[tidal geyser]

16GB ram is just not enough

[tidal geyser]

well it matters what you are doing

[royal stone]

ive got 32

[random junco]

two facebook and three ebay tabs at a minimum

[tidal geyser]

then the bigger question is why does it say 64% usage when yo 100% do not have that in services there

[random junco]

live auctioning

[iron glen]

what do you need 2 facebook tabs for

[royal stone]

its not the full list

[random junco]

one for the homepage of facebook marketplace and another for a listing im paranoid will get sold, so i refresh it often

[royal stone]

like theres prob 200 processes running but most arent using more than 1mb of ram

[tidal geyser]

yes but i can see the one at the bottom is 50MB

windows does not use much more than like 2-4GB

p sure thats for gyazo (ss app)

[azure topaz]

cap frame x?

wait my bad sharex

[royal stone]

been using gyazo for 7 years its more preference tbh

[azure topaz]

ig thats fair just ancient software

[royal stone]

ye idk how to use any of the other ones

[azure topaz]

time to fafo

[iron glen]

why is curseforge and epic games a startup task?

[royal stone]

no idea tbh, havent checked the startup in forever

[random junco]

i keep epic games and steam on startup. if i dont want it when i boot my pc then i just close it but its handy for quickly opening games upon boot

but tbh my pc is on 24/7 anyways

and i use hibernate, not shut down

[iron glen]

i had steam on startup cz i'd come home
study and js play AC or elden ring the rest of the day

[azure topaz]

FREAKKK

[royal stone]

maybe i should just put the windows 11 in the bag💀

[random junco]

hibernate is better in every way possible

not using hibernate is stupid 💔

[azure topaz]

its better for making your uptime high and not letting windows properly restart

a restart every once and a while is good, like restarting the router

turning off your pc once a day should be that restart

[random junco]

ill cut the power

[royal stone]

for some reason my windows key doesnt even work on this w10 version im on💀

[azure topaz]

pro or home key difference prolly

[limpid ivy]

Lol I have to hold my power button for that. My windows install needs to be redone cause I have no option to anymore to restart/hibernate/shut down

[exotic valley]

the only time i turn off my windows is when i swap its hardware

[azure topaz]

lol

i go in my bios like 40 times a day

[limpid ivy]

I just end up leaving my system on 24/7 cause there is no way to shut it down without holding the power button.

[exotic valley]

as initially i was a mac user, it was never a habit to turn off the computer

[valid fiber]

I'm also using hiberbate unless there is a problem that requires a reboot

[random junco]

as long as you use hibernate, good

[royal stone]

idk what it even is tbh

[limpid ivy]

At least I can still update and that'll allow me to restart

[azure topaz]

youre cooked 💔

[random junco]

its either a vpn or something to do with minecraft

idk

[royal stone]

idk what cloudfare is either but i guess its there too

[azure topaz]

nah just some old software for making fake networks to play with your friends on usually pirated games

[random junco]

cloudflare is beautiful if you own a website domain

[azure topaz]

it is vpn software but hardly anyone used it like that

[valid fiber]

oh isn't hamachi that wierd vpn tunnel thing?

[azure topaz]

just to play video games with their homies

[azure topaz]

yes

[royal stone]

oh thats why ive got parsec instead

[valid fiber]

haven't used that in ages

[azure topaz]

parsec is remote desktop software and not the same

parsec lets someone access your computer and control it/vice versa

[royal stone]

ye it works for local co-op on games though which is nice

[exotic valley]

hibernate reminds me my days of using linux desktop. It just never hibernates well with my nvidia graphics card. hibernation sucks on linux if you use NVIDIA.

i dont use parsec as i think it sucks

i use uu remote, a chinese softwre that supercedes almost all aspects than parsec

supports 4K 144hz for free out of the box

[royal stone]

me and my friend live pretty close and i have really good internet so never had issues

[exotic valley]

low latency down to 5ms

[azure topaz]

i just... remote into the computer

[exotic valley]

and uu remote supports ios, macos and almost all OS

[azure topaz]

with...the software that is...built into the computer...

[exotic valley]

parsec imo just lacks the development and finance to be as good as UU remote

also UU remote is completely free as well.

[azure topaz]

means you are the product hurray!

[exotic valley]

not really, uu remote offers cloud computer that equips 4070ti or 4080 as its main selling point

however i just use it for remote control, so im not the product.

only available in mainland china though, the only caveat

it supports HDR, 4K 144hz, 10bit color, 500mbps bitrate maximum

for FREE forever.

[royal stone]

w nicetaskbar

[exotic valley]

i often watch movies together with my GF using it, and it performs the best among all the software i have tested, generations better than parsec.

cuz parsec doesn't even natively support ipados

[random gyro]

Made a custom Resolution of 4k 144hz on nvcp for my TV and it says 64bit even though i chose 32bit. So weird

[royal stone]

usually i just use discord screenshare for that tbh

discord plugin to get around the nitro nitro 720p 30fps limit

[exotic valley]

yeh discord screenshare is good however you can't play cloud games on it, and its resolution & framerates are capped with nitro

[tidal geyser]

no wonder why his pc is so fucked up

[royal stone]

whats so bad about synapse?

[exotic valley]

i usually watch 4K movies with my girlfriends so 720p is not really desirable

[tidal geyser]

everything?

[royal stone]

theres plug in to get around the limits

[tidal geyser]

yea torrenting it

[exotic valley]

ohh i see, it would be def alot better to stream at 1080p on discord for free

[exotic valley]

my girlfriend lives remotely so she has to remote control my PC with her mobile devices to watch movies together with me

[royal stone]

nah just betterdiscord/vencord

[exotic valley]

yeh and i often torrent movies from russian websites

[royal stone]

the custom discord themes are great too

[tidal geyser]

someone has not read the rules

[azure topaz]

i just use the in client red and im happy

[tidal geyser]

we can fully talk about pirating but not about HOW nor the name of the shit

[exotic valley]

russian websites are not that specific

[tidal geyser]

and 3rd party clients names real bad too

[tidal geyser]

not you

[exotic valley]

oh i see

[wheat torrent]

I looked at the xtx and 5070ti and thje 5070ti beat it ass in productivity tasks

[azure topaz]

well yeah

[royal stone]

i searched it in here and plenty of other ppl said it so i figured it was fair game, my bad though

[exotic valley]

it really comes down to the very specific application you are using. AMD cards often beat 5090 in some applications

as far as im aware of, i can name a few professional software

[tidal geyser]

3 year old gpu yea?

[azure topaz]

in nothing important i dont think lol

[wheat torrent]

what is it

[tidal geyser]

vs something that came out a few months ago

[azure topaz]

that has the same raster performance?

i get that its new but this is a dumb point to make

[wheat torrent]

yes but 4090 > 5070 ti

[azure topaz]

the xtx is faster in raster even lol

[exotic valley]

lemme look it up

[tidal geyser]

it still only has the tech at least from 3 years ago while also ofc having been made a good few years before that again

[royal stone]

so anyways whys synapse so bad for my pc?

[wheat torrent]

I was debating between 5070 ti and 7900xtx and Looked at productivity tasks and it was 📉 for all the tasks I looked into

[tidal geyser]

it acts like malware

[wheat torrent]

then I looked at the 4090 and it was better than the 5070 ti in all my tasks so I got the 4090

[azure topaz]

https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-content-creation-review/?srsltid=AfmBOooymaT5DHCUJNLc-DRCHUQ1JhKc-xo2GWRUgCtuthmK11WvXxsk

[royal stone]

tbf i just use it for keyboard prompts etc

[azure topaz]

the 9070xt is either as fast as its nv competitor in specs or way slower

[wheat torrent]

i thought we talkin aboutg 7900 xtx my bad

[azure topaz]

i was just using it as an example

[tidal geyser]

still faster than the XTX in everything but after effects

[azure topaz]

yeah

doesnt have nearly as good ai perf

[exotic valley]

for example, AMD cards are better than 5090 in SPECworkstation

[tidal geyser]

well yea that is a MAJOR point of 9000

they finally got the tech nvidia got with rtx 2000

[wheat torrent]

what might be the reasoning?

[exotic valley]

5090 barely beats AMD in maya

[wheat torrent]

better drivers?

[exotic valley]

i dunno, no clue

however the result is quite consistent though

[tidal geyser]

how old is that

[azure topaz]

@limber nacelle whats maya

[wheat torrent]

industry standard 3d software

[midnight aspen]

I haven't looked at laptops in asome time but its time for an upgrade. Can anyone give some suggestions for a laptop that fits these needs?

• good Linux support
• good battery life
• 32gb+ ram
• core/thread count over core speeds
  Preferred
• prefer 15" but can make do with 13"
• possibly a 2 in 1/fold style

Good gpu is nice but not as important as the others. Mostly this is for web and app development. I also know that Linux and good battery life is sort of mutually exclusive but it is what It is.

[azure topaz]

no shit

[tidal geyser]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1106613567966429224

[exotic valley]

ever heard of handbrake? amd cards beat 5090 in it too

[azure topaz]

uh do you see at the top of the chart

[tidal geyser]

das nice

[exotic valley]

so my point it, AMD cards are subperb in some specific workloads and software than the best flagship NVIDIA cards

[tidal geyser]

higher is better?

[azure topaz]

yeah theres a 250$ intel card at the top

[exotic valley]

it really determines on your use cases to choose for the best cards

[midnight aspen]

Thanks. I dont char here a lot . Will post there

[azure topaz]

if your workload is encoding buy intel. amd is irrelevant in that convo 😭

[tidal geyser]

what if its not just encoding?

well transcoding

[azure topaz]

if all you do is somehow exactly the things amd is faster in

buy amd

[tidal geyser]

fuck it, buy it all

[azure topaz]

i agree

[tidal geyser]

buy every gpu

[azure topaz]

all of them

[wheat torrent]

fuck a gpu

rent a render farm

[tidal geyser]

pleas do not fuck your gpu

[exotic valley]

(although i went with 4070ti super when a 9070xt is offered to me at a cheaper price, cuz i want to play overwatch 2 and there are way too many negative reviews on 9070xt in overwatch 2 subreddit)

[azure topaz]

there is workloads where amd is faster in productivity but its often nvidia who takes that crown

[royal stone]

what’s like top 5 must have software for pc? Wonder if I’m missing any ones

[azure topaz]

@ that one guy talking about custom themes

[raw olive]

no issues in my eyes

[wheat torrent]

just get better discord atp

[azure topaz]

why would i do that

its right here already

[wheat torrent]

good question

[limber nacelle]

Autodesk Maya

[wheat torrent]

so you don't have to pay for it and get more options

[limber nacelle]

3D DCC, commonly used in many productions

[raw olive]

you can try and mod the shit out of it, i did it on 3 different cheapo boards
when the stock is bad mods really make the difference

[azure topaz]

okie thanks

[limber nacelle]

popular due to the customizability, so a lot of studios develop their own custom versions of Maya

[tidal geyser]

the whole point of dis is cheap as shit mechanical keyboard

[azure topaz]

makes sense

[limber nacelle]

WetaM for example

[raw olive]

you can make it feel almost premium

[limber nacelle]

[azure topaz]

[brave brook]

i spent 45 euros for this wireless-ish TKL keyboard. Wireless-ish because it is USB/2.4GHz Wireless/3xBT keyboard with chargeable battery

[raw olive]

foam in the case, switch lube, o rings if its your taste

[azure topaz]

switch lube like it didnt take my first time 3 hours

foam, tape, bandaid mods i do reco for the cheapo keyboards

id buy new switches before i lube the stock switches in a 15$ board

[raw olive]

fucking silicone spray it is then

[wheat torrent]

dont fuck silicone spray

[raw olive]

bandaid yeah i forgot bandaid

[azure topaz]

tape the back

with cams, intake and exhaust you can maybe get mayyybe get 160hp

money/hp curve aint looking great

also it has its own VVT system that works in a really weird way

[tidal geyser]

get rekt

[exotic valley]

My gf would get very disappointed if I talk too much about computer hardware

We fought once cuz of it

[placid belfry]

Whatever you do I don’t recommend turbo charging your cpu intake

[azure topaz]

whats that in real money sim

[tidal geyser]

fully wireless, swap most of it and so on

[raw olive]

same for cars

[tidal geyser]

it would be 40$ but i got it on a good day for 30$

Sorry to hear bro but I don’t believe she’s the one for you I hope you stay safe from the coming storm

even though the sound insulation and everything i do on the car improves her comfort she doesnt seem to care

[gloomy sleet]

what switches

[exotic valley]

Not for us, cuz we both agree xiaomi su7/yu7 are the best cars out there in terms of cost & quality

And the functionalities it offers

[placid belfry]

Idk man maybe she’s put off by the site of black grease and stained hands from mechanics
I suggest introducing her to cars from a clean perspective
Take her to a dealership idk

Women like cleanliness you know

[exotic valley]

We could get it under $30,000 with some government subsidies

[exotic valley]

Xddd at least we talk a lot on games together

[exotic valley]

Just in case if anyone is unfamiliar with xiaomi cars

So happy about buying the other keyboard as now I have this

[exotic valley]

magnetic keyboard switch

[shy saffron]

i need help selecting a new PSU
850 or 1000 watt
A or A+ rated on PSL PSU Tier List
budget - somewhat flexible - INR 10k is a guess
can add fans if worth it
Another point is if it is ATX 3.1 i could run two builds but i think keeping a PSU locked to this PC would be the best idea

Pc Spec
Ryzen 5 7600x
MSI Mag Coreliquid M360 AIO
MSI B650 Gaming Plus WIFI
XPG Lancer 32 gigs dual channel at 6000 mhz CL30
Sapphire Pulse 7900 GRE
2016 Cooler Master Vanguard V850 PSU - reused from prev build - due for change and hence this
Gigabyte c301 case

[tidal geyser]

1kw for that?

[shy saffron]

can be considered - i mean ik 750 watt can handle it but would prefer keeping headroom

[gloomy sleet]

i have a tip

put the red switch in caps lock or windows key and put the other key where the broken one is

[fringe prairie]

century ii 1050w

[wheat torrent]

I got a 1200w

overkill I think

[azure topaz]

i have an a1000G from MSI

[wheat torrent]

but I can power 2 gpus if I awnted

[azure topaz]

and an EVGA g2 1300W

[wheat torrent]

is there any consumer user setup that uses +1000 w

no triple gpu no 100 hdds

[azure topaz]

yes

easily

5090+13900k/14900k/9950x/7950x i think full tune all do 1kw at max load theoretically

idk if you can make the 285k draw 300w but if you can throw that in there

[delicate osprey]

Quick question for anyone in the computer building space. Do you think that the ASUS TUF rtx 5070 ti oc is worth getting at €879 its the lowest i have seen at the moment and im scared it will rise soon.

[onyx vault]

850 watts should be plenty for your build, I'd only go 1000 watt if you were planning a major upgrade (like a 5090 or something)
i might recommend the NZXT C850 Gold ATX 3.1
its probably slightly more expensive than you want, but its atx 3.1 and a+ on the psu tier list
i'm running a higher wattage psu from the same model line and its given me no issues whatsoever

[bitter crater]

price sounds high for a 5070ti

[shy saffron]

I did some research and came down to three options -
Nzxt C850 850W Gold Fully Modular ATX 3.1 Power Supply – Black - 12k INR
Super Flower Leadex VII 850W Platinum Pro ATX 3.1 Fully Modular SMPS - 11.2k INR
Corsair RM850x SHIFT 80 PLUS Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply - 11.3k INR

I chose 850 watt becasue replacing an 850 watt and more so i dont have a single port unusued on the PC so hence the headroom

NZXT seems a good option no doubt

actual pricing depending on retailers - need to get quote - in India, they install and provide

[delicate osprey]

it's only 70 bucks higher then msrp from what i can find on the internet

[bitter crater]

im seeing gigabyte's windforce 5070ti OC is 769euro

[ebon marlin]

so expensive

can get mine for 652€

brand new

[delicate osprey]

is this card any good

[delicate osprey]

what do you have

[ebon marlin]

yep

considering rx 9070 xt is same price as the 5070 TI the 5070 TI is a good buy

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/msi-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-gaming-trio-oc

different gpu model but it'll perform the exact same

you can check individual game performance benchmarks from here

[delicate osprey]

alright tnx for the advice il check it out.

[rigid fjord]

even a gtx 1630 can't beat a gtx 1070

[rigid fjord]

what case are you using?

the rm850x shift might not fit the case

[tidal geyser]

There we go

[rigid fjord]

reminds me of my cherry mx reds dude

[shy saffron]

Gigabyte c301
Atx mid tower case

[rigid fjord]

then definitely not going to fit in that case, you'd want a normal rm850x instead of it

[shy saffron]

Im officially repenting my case choice

[rigid fjord]

rm850x shift primarily fits in a 5000d and 5000d af, then in most fishtank type cases

[exotic valley]

does iphone 17 pro use c1x

[shy saffron]

Maximum Compatibility
CPU Height : 170mm
GPU Length : 400mm
PSU Length : 180mm

Gigabyte mentions this for c301

[ebon marlin]

the wifi chip?

[shy saffron]

i mean im not seeing complete details - tryna look deeper

[rigid fjord]

google.com

[shy saffron]

rm850x shift length is 160mm - within 180mm limit
Im unable to see psu width and height limits

[ebon marlin]

Allat for red switches 🫩

[rigid fjord]

you won't primarily when it comes to psu's, but as the shift model itself pushes the connectors to one side and not to the back of the psu

[rigid fjord]

that's not the issue, the issue is where the connectors sit

[shy saffron]

would this be a cable management problem? Well that is the technician's problem on this side of the world

[rigid fjord]

normal rm850x

rm850x shift

[shy saffron]

well shit

[rigid fjord]

on many cases it means the back side will never be able to close

[shy saffron]

you mean i should open and check whether there is space to accommodate the wires?
Or simply choose alternate

I was honestly leaning more towards superflower one

[rigid fjord]

straight up alternatives

superflower while releasing their own models also acts as an ODM for many psu brands

[shy saffron]

on corsair website

[rigid fjord]

weird, most cases like this are not compatible with it

[ebon marlin]

are you sure you got the V2 then

[shy saffron]

checking my invoice - c301 was the only option with c type in front IO in the budget last year

[serene eagle]

Good evening

[rigid fjord]

this shows on both white and black, there's not enough room for the connectors properly

[shy saffron]

v2 came in september - i built in 2024 april so rip

[rigid fjord]

then it's not the V2 model that corsair says about

[shy saffron]

yup just realised

[swift moss]

HOLY

im coming for you optic

[rigid fjord]

yeah, it caused crashes to steam on release, also steam did have it being offered for free as a giveaway

[exotic valley]

is it a demanding game?

[swift moss]

oh really it was free??

[swift moss]

for pc's? not at all

you could probably play it on mobile

[plain cypress]

I think that means steam hosted a giveaway with a limited number of license keys

[shy saffron]

Nzxt C850 850W Gold Fully Modular ATX 3.1 Power Supply – Black
Super Flower Leadex VII 850W Platinum Pro ATX 3.1 Fully Modular SMPS

Would above two be compatible?

[random junco]

huh

[swift moss]

is this for 1 copy lmfao may as well buy it than waste your time entering

[rigid fjord]

nope, people had to compete by clicking on it, and 1 random person got it for free

[shy saffron]

with the gigabyte c301 case

[random junco]

oh

[plain cypress]

Welp, congratulations to that one person

[random junco]

should be

[rigid fjord]

both would be, go with whichever is the cheaper of the 2

i have 2 codes for sid meyers civ 3+4 on gog that i've been trying to give away lol

[swift moss]

i better not see silksong pirated anywhere outside of russia though

[shy saffron]

From India Pc price tracker

[swift moss]

considering they cant buy it there

like there is a ru page but many are having so much issues buying it cuz steam and gog barely work

[shy saffron]

1000 bucks here and there is like eating a meal outside tbh

peace of mind > 1000 bucks

[south arrow]

[rigid fjord]

prime gaming be like here have free codes

[plain cypress]

Shit I need to do this when I get home

[rigid fjord]

hehehe

[random junco]

does anybody even play these tho

ive redeemed over 30 games from prime and tbh theyre not great

[true stirrup]

[azure topaz]

gog has some great games

[ebon marlin]

gog is poop

[azure topaz]

[true stirrup]

That's a very fair point

[vestal dirge]

its fine ive been using an f tier psu for 8+ years

[ebon marlin]

I'm not running on a potato fortunately

[vestal dirge]

makes no difference ❤️

[azure topaz]

it does indeed

[true stirrup]

I've had a PSU explode in my pc
It does indeed make a difference

[azure topaz]

people like you are why hazard psus are still made

[vestal dirge]

[azure topaz]

because people like you buy them

a thermaltake smart 700w killed an rx 570 of mine under no load

[wheat torrent]

my cat just jumped on my pc and it instantly shut down

[wheat torrent]

should I worry, it instantly turned on

[azure topaz]

does it turn back on

[ebon marlin]

humblebundle my goat 10€ a month and I get games like Persona 5 Royal all for Steam

[carmine yew]

probably fine

[wheat torrent]

I should check event manager if it was the rest button or not

[true stirrup]

It literally exploded... not just fried itself or something... there was physical damage around it

[wheat torrent]

should I put tin foil on top of my case except the dust cover?

[ebon marlin]

also yummy 20% discount 24/7 on all games even brand new ones like Silksong

[wheat torrent]

did he press the rest button

[ebon marlin]

although not a fan of almost every month the humble choice includes a warhammer game

poop game

[tired bear]

catproof

[wheat torrent]

I dont want him jumping on my pc

[ebon marlin]

I got plushies ontop of my pc for that

[clear canyon]

that looks like outemu

[wheat torrent]

correction he jumped OFF my pc

[carmine yew]

good luck stopping a cat from doing what he wants

[wheat torrent]

ok he getting aborted

[carmine yew]

rolls eyes

[wheat torrent]

can tin foil around the pc cause static or whateve

[carmine yew]

as a grown up, it's your job to cat proof things, not expect the cat to do shit

[clear canyon]

outemu switches sucks

[wheat torrent]

okay

[carmine yew]

Cats gonna cat

[empty quartz]

Fuck

[wheat torrent]

how do I cat proof a whole pc case, anyone got tips?

[carmine yew]

they're totally fine

[empty quartz]

Apple did a dumb move

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-shaking-radlcies-gif-24378563

[carmine yew]

cover the reset button like suggested

[wheat torrent]

but its not the reset button

he jumped off my pc and pushed it away

[ebon marlin]

when have they not made a dumb move

[empty quartz]

Switched back to aluminum for the 17 pro max

[clear canyon]

no, I have several, they suck. much cheaper quality

feel like ass

[carmine yew]

I have outemu board around, and they feel fine

are others betteR? sure, but they're still fine

[clear canyon]

I disagree, they are inconsistant and just feel bad

[tired bear]

set "power on AC" to on in bios, then unplug pwr and rst switches from the motherboard

[carmine yew]

your PC should be heavy enough that a cat can't push it over

or do you have a cheap, lightweight case

[empty quartz]

Apple switched back to aluminum for the 17 pro max

[wheat torrent]

What do I do?

im worried tin foil on top might fuck up something

[wheat torrent]

I said he jumped off my case and youre saying that can't fucking happen because pcs are too heavy to be pushed off

[cold skiff]

It’s a cat!

[wheat torrent]

????
whos trolling?

[cold skiff]

Tkitch is. Report him. I dare you

[carmine yew]

first:
The english you're using doesn't english right

[peak knot]

Who? didnt know you were an owl

[wheat torrent]

cats dont like to sit on tin foil its a known thing to prevent cats from sitting on desks

[cold skiff]

Sorry report he/him. I dare you.

[wheat torrent]

thus I asked if I could put tin foil on my case SO MY CAT doesnt jump on it

[peak knot]

i mean yeah

[rigid fjord]

yes actually, i've redeemed like 100 games, some of which are given away

[carmine yew]

your case is a big metal box

Why woulf foil hurt it?

[wheat torrent]

fair enough

[cold skiff]

Static

[wheat torrent]

but he could jump on the dust cover also right in the middle instead

[rigid fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4QPFqBLJ3Qg ugha dughas

[wheat torrent]

or jump on it and get scared and make it even worse

[rigid fjord]

links got fixed?

[carmine yew]

your cat is gonna do whatever the fuck your cat wants to

[wheat torrent]

🤔

thanks for this information

[carmine yew]

put your computer in a location that your cat can't knock it over

[wheat torrent]

hmmmmm

[carmine yew]

OR put it in a case that weighs enough that it won't fall over

[tired bear]

jumpy

[wheat torrent]

box other direction

[empty quartz]

17 pro max has a better selfie camera and telephoto camera than the s25 ultra

[rigid fjord]

@random juncowant to see what i have on gog because of prime ?

[carmine yew]

https://www.amazon.com/King-65-PRO-Pre-Installed-Tool-Free/dp/B0DJDW8B92
Get a stout, dual chamber case like this, it'd be REALLY hard to knock over

[wheat torrent]

I could add weights on top of my case

without blocking the dust cover

[carmine yew]

bottom

[tired bear]

*bottom, adding weights o top will make it easier to tip over

[rigid fjord]

any weights you'd want to be on the bottom tbh, you never want a case to be top heavy

[ebon marlin]

no way a newer product is better

[rigid fjord]

top heavy case = easily tipped over

[carmine yew]

we fucking understand the concept of a cat knocking over a computer

[ebon marlin]

S25 Ultra's cameras are poopoo tough compared to competition

[wheat torrent]

also he digs his claws in the dust cover and pulls

I can show a picture

[carmine yew]

he's a cat, and dust filters are good fits for claws

[rigid fjord]

get a scratch post

[peak knot]

get a scratching post and discipline him to stop on the pc

[carmine yew]

welcome to being a cat dad

[valid fiber]

who cares about the phone camera at this point?

[ebon marlin]

threaten with violence until the cat complies

[wheat torrent]

he has plenty 💀

[carmine yew]

you're the human with a brain that's way bigger than the cat's.

It's your job to teach the cat how to behave

[wheat torrent]

this i the curernt situation, I moved it as close as I can to the wall

Im thinkin I could tape the top like this

but Im worried that he might be inclined to crawl under the tape

[carmine yew]

you're overthinking this to a hilarious extent

[tired bear]

screw the pc to the wall

[wheat torrent]

I don't want my cat on my case 🙏

[ebon marlin]

or the cat

[wheat torrent]

until now it wasnt near the wall, now I pushed it against the wall so he cant push it no more when jumping

[tired bear]

get a 2nd case that will act as a decoy

[carmine yew]

FUCKING TEACH THE CAT TO NOT SIT ON IT

You're the human, teach the dumb animal how to act

[wheat torrent]

...

[hexed tapir]

Mmm warm PC

[rigid fjord]

get a 3d printer, and then make this

[ebon marlin]

I don't think this would be an issue if the pc wasn't on the floor

[wheat torrent]

THIS could work

[carmine yew]

do not

[wheat torrent]

yeah this is exactly the issue

[hexed tapir]

Tin foil and double sided tape keep cats off things

[carmine yew]

DO NOT

[tired bear]

cat no care, cat sit on it anyway

[wheat torrent]

I mentioned that but was worried about static or something?

[carmine yew]

your case is a metal box that is grounded

[wheat torrent]

also this could make him jump right in the middle, or jump on it and get freaked off and jump everywher

[rigid fjord]

cat smiles while spike going where the sun don't shine

[wheat torrent]

I dont mind ruining my case with double sided tape

I could just do stripes along it randomly

[wheat torrent]

why so serious btw whats wrong

[wheat torrent]

I have another pc in the back running, but that one doesnt get as hot so he is not interested

[carmine yew]

you have 2 options at this point:

1. Deal with the fact it's going to happen

2. Teach the cat to not sit on your computer

Stop being dumb at this point

[hexed tapir]

https://a.co/d/8yFNkXh could get a sheet for furniture too I use this personally for our couches

[wheat torrent]

worst unhelpful advice 👍

[wheat torrent]

is this slightly sticky?

[carmine yew]

or I suppose 3:

Surrender the cat to a shelter is always an option

[hexed tapir]

Could also get a heated cat bed to keep the cat from wanting the PC heat

[valid fiber]

i would say watercooling with an external radiator is the only way.
you have to remove the heat that attracts the cat

[rigid fjord]

i have a parrot, i have taught it to not go on my pc

[sleek nacelle]

Can I have someones opinion? is 4tb enough? because I just finished building my PC and I'm just thinking if thats enough to last me in the long-term...

[carmine yew]

most peopl have 2tb at most

[hexed tapir]

I have 2tb it's plenty

[wheat torrent]

that sounds like a good idea also

[tired bear]

3. provide the cat with suitable siting/scratching aragement

[rigid fjord]

as someone with over 12tb of storage space, that depends

[carmine yew]

dude's not going to do that, clearly

[sleek nacelle]

Would you say downgrade or keep the storage as it is?

[valid fiber]

it's never enough

[carmine yew]

more storage never hurts (except when it fails)

[hexed tapir]

Just keep it

[sleek nacelle]

thats the one thing im worried about...

[carmine yew]

in theory: Larger SSDs have a longer lifespan than smaller

[rigid fjord]

yup, never enough

[valid fiber]

more storage

[wheat torrent]

do you think normal double tape works? I cant see why not

[hexed tapir]

https://cats.com/kh-thermo-kitty-cat-bed-review just get a 3rd party tested bed not done cheap random Amazon drop shipped one we need to keep the cat and home safe from fires and electric shock

[hexed tapir]

Yeah

[sleek nacelle]

I've used 16% of my storage rn this is what i have installed on my PC. Don't

Tbh, I bought so far BO7 (PRE ORDER), Cyberpunk, RDR2, well GTA 6 WHEN IT COMES OUT, TS2. Right Now I got installed is Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, Fortnite, Roblox, GTA 5 (New Gen), Forza Horizon 5, League of Legends & Overwatch 2. Apps wise: Nvidia GeForce Experience, ASUS Armory Crate, Signal RGB, Google Chrome, Discord, Spotify, Apple Music, Rekordbox (DJ Software), Serato DJ Pro, Steam.

[wheat torrent]

yeah this is the only worry I have

having electricity straight to heat

you cant buy quality stuff in my country, and no amazon its all cheap chinese products

[grizzled frost]

ok?

[carmine yew]

how do you think heating pads, space heaters, and computers work?

[wheat torrent]

with proper protection

[carmine yew]

in theory, they all have that

in practice that's hilarious

[wheat torrent]

[sleek nacelle]

No, i just saying like if that's yk reasonable im new to the PC Scene, as I just built it today. But I already got the answer. and i was wondering do you guys have any reccomendation like mouse, keyboard and headsets? I don't know any reccomendations.

[grizzled frost]

all personal preference

[rigid fjord]

logitech g502 hero or g305 for mice is all i can suggest

[hexed tapir]

Could also get a non electrical "heated" cat pad that has basically a space blanket sown under the fluffy top to radiate the heat my cats enjoy it

[wheat torrent]

one time I see my cat like this

[carmine yew]

Computers are just space heaters that can (potentially) do entertainment or productive work in the process of generating heat

[wheat torrent]

oh I have plenty of fluffy blankts all over

my cat is a sphynx so he loves heat

lil bro sleeps with me at night under the same sheet

[sleek nacelle]

yeah i think i'm gonna get that, its still the number 1 best selling mouse apperently that what linus's video said.

[wheat torrent]

I have his cat house literally on my desk

[glacial forge]

I have a g203 lightsync. Its good.

[rigid fjord]

exactly the same as a g305 but not wireless

[wheat torrent]

he shut down my pc and went to sleep gg

[rigid fjord]

g305 and g203 are the same mouse but g305 is wireless and g203 is wired

[hexed tapir]

Logitech mice suck to open the damn screws are under the skates

[wheat torrent]

when he climbs on the kitchen table I just pick him up and place him down without giving him attention and not looking at him apparently this works to prevent them from jumping on tables

but I have to crawl to get to my computer

[steel umbra]

most manufacturers do this unfortunately

i hope that changes

[glacial forge]

Ok. I haven't swapped to wireless yet.

[hexed tapir]

We just point and yell OI or hey and they jump back down

[wheat torrent]

he just looks at me

then says meow and jumps on the desk for pets

[hexed tapir]

Yeah I just wanted to lube up the scroll wheel man 😭

[wheat torrent]

[carmine yew]

bro wants to to anything and everything that isn't training his cat

[wheat torrent]

cats do whatever they want

[hexed tapir]

You can train them to shit in the toilet and fetch

[wheat torrent]

thanks god

imagine him pissing on my pc

ultimate trolling
