[limpid dune]

AFAIK that hasn't ever been made yet

[tidal geyser]

well eh

[harsh vector]

I see. Was just worried about battery health lol.

[limpid dune]

I should make it. give the world trust issues

[tidal geyser]

huh??

[harsh vector]

was worried it was gonna degrade the battery of the mouse

[midnight meteor]

Wait I am not meant to use the switch charger to charge my speakers?

[tidal geyser]

so do not charge it at all?

[tidal geyser]

from what i remember its not really actual PD

also if it works after plugging it in that means it just works

unless it splodes right after its fine

[harsh vector]

wdym

[midnight meteor]

Considering I’ve done it a few times it’s should be okay

[abstract wigeon]

i learnt not every cable that fits is the same with my old steam link

plugged into laptop charger and popped it

[grizzled frost]

was it usb c on both ends

[tidal geyser]

charging it at all will make the battery degrade

[shy saffron]

Guys -
Gigabyte M27Q X vs MSI Optix G274QPX

Finding both for the same exact price - gigabyte doesnt include shipping yet though

Help on the choice appreciated - was going msi but 1 unit of gigabyte popped up

[tidal geyser]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam_Link/comments/175g6tv/well_its_dead/

[harsh vector]

Ik but I thought using a charger rated well above the provided cable will expedite the process

[tidal geyser]

huh

there is a reason iphones still charge at glacial speeds

[grizzled frost]

USB-C Power Delivery first requires negotiation of charging power, so your device will provide it's power limit and the power brick will abide by it

[tidal geyser]

well ok not as much anymore

[harsh vector]

yup

[tidal geyser]

the device can only charge so fast

[shy saffron]

Guys, some help appreciated here

[tidal geyser]

most mice anyways only charge at like 1w

[grizzled frost]

Doesn't matter if the cable/brick are rated for 240w, if the mouse says 5w max, it'll charge at 5w

[tidal geyser]

the attack shark x3 claims it needs a like 5w charger but can make do with 0.5w

[grizzled frost]

slightly different specs, but one isn't necessarily better than the other, make the decision bsaed on the specs

[tidal geyser]

i need to check how much it pulls when charging

[kindred halo]

Changed my mind about buying a camera

As much as I want to take pretty pictures :> - I sorta need better peripherals

[midnight meteor]

Pretty sure there are cases where the voltage and amps can mess things up if they are too high?

[harsh vector]

anyone here use vxe r1 pro max?

[kindred halo]

Monitor, keyboard, CPU Cooler

CPU cooler just because it pisses me off

[tidal geyser]

voltage yes but that is why we have PD

[tidal geyser]

stop it

[harsh vector]

what's wrong

[tidal geyser]

that is something you never do

[harsh vector]

expound

[tidal geyser]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[harsh vector]

ipads wont charge without pd, no?

[quick stag]

Nice weather innit?

[harsh vector]

you mean to say to just ask straight up?

[midnight meteor]

That’s free cooling

[grizzled frost]

just absolute zero, nothing to worry about

[quick stag]

Actually pretty hot ngl

Might need to wear sunscreen today

[grizzled frost]

Pretty hot in comparison to -273.15c

it's infinitely hotter actually

[shy saffron]

Leaning towards msi

[kindred wren]

thinking of building a sleeper build

[glacial tulip]

can someone help

i’m pressing but it’s not working

[tulip sparrow]

I have had that thought a number of times and my goto case for it would be an old Dell Optiplex NX/GX case likely the double height one

I would need to do something about airflow for modern parts of course since that case is from the P2/P3 era of computing

I have always loved that style of case honestly

[tidal geyser]

What is p2

[iron glen]

Player 2 usually

[tidal geyser]

I meant P3

[iron glen]

Haha get it
Its funny because thats not what you asked

[tidal geyser]

But also that does not make sense

[iron glen]

I know, its probably not true either

[tulip sparrow]

Pentium 2 and 3

[kindred wren]

same

[tulip sparrow]

I had a Optiplex GX115 with a p3@933mhz and 384megs of ram and a 80gb hdd paired with a Nvidia FX 5500(it was plenty for the older games I would play)

Thing was so easy to work in it was great

2 buttons and prop it open and you are set

[tulip sparrow]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_II

[harsh vector]

How do I check if my motherboard usb c port is just for data transfer or it supports pd

[tulip sparrow]

Check the manual honestly @harsh vector

[harsh vector]

I've been reading it

[tulip sparrow]

If it doesn't say anything then it likely doesn't

[exotic valley]

when is AMD gonna release 10800XT which rumored to use N3P or 2nm process node

i wanna upgrade my CPU

[tulip sparrow]

We don't know when the next cpus are going to be released

[grizzled frost]

why do you need a new amd GPU to upgrade your cpu

[tulip sparrow]

they either mean x or x3d

[grizzled frost]

i mean the 9800x3d is already more than enough for even a 5090 in 1440p/4k gaming

[tulip sparrow]

but yeah I plan on at least a 7900 XT to replace my 3070 Ti thanks to it failing in newer titles at 1440p thanks to the lack of vram on the damn thing fucking nvidia shafting all these gpus

Hopefully my 5800x3d can hold out until AM6

[harsh vector]

That's all I see related to usb c

[latent pasture]

might be worth waiting for 50 super if real

[tulip sparrow]

which hopefully all the bugs will be worked out of AM5/DDR5

[tulip sparrow]

Like I said if it doesn't sya then just assume it doesn't

[grizzled frost]

i mean all USB C ports are going to support at least a bit of power delivery

[tulip sparrow]

Iff those aren't around the $600-$650 range then they are useless for me

[tulip sparrow]

might just be 500mAmps honestly lol

[harsh vector]

Rip, I've been using it to charge my ipad and ps5 controller. Gotta move it to my monitor then

[grizzled frost]

you can just say .5a

[tulip sparrow]

I know some MB's charge devices even when off via 1 USB port

BUT those ports are usually labeled in the manual at least

[wheat torrent]

Running games on a 6k display must be hella difficult?

[grizzled frost]

about twice as difficult as 4k

[tulip sparrow]

DLSS/XESS/FSR makes a BIG difference for that @wheat torrent

[wheat torrent]

Holy moly

[tulip sparrow]

Then theres the running at less resolution and then scaling to fit the screen LOL

[grizzled frost]

i mean there's about 2x the pixels

[wheat torrent]

[harsh vector]

then I assume I shouldn't use it on my ps5 controller as well?

[tulip sparrow]

AKA what we were doing before BEFORE the upscaling techs came out

[wheat torrent]

I am thinking of the idea of getting a retina 32 inch

[grizzled frost]

kinda defeats the point of a higher resolution monitor

[tulip sparrow]

It would just tkae longer to charge honestly

[wheat torrent]

What integer scaling options you have on 6k?

I know on 8k you have all of them

[tulip sparrow]

Depends on the resolution of 6k

[grizzled frost]

"6k" is a nonstandard resolution, so there's a couple common variations

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/so-tired-tired-cute-cat-kitty-gif-686016202990483973

[tulip sparrow]

and what res you are interscaling LOL

[jaunty apex]

I mean ps5 controller can only do 5v tho can't it

[wheat torrent]

6016x3384

This is a very odd resolution

[tidal geyser]

I would imagine it's just usb

[grizzled frost]

your options are:
3008x1692
2004x1128
1503x846
and anything beyond that is abysmal

[tulip sparrow]

take that res and divide it by the most common used resolutions and see if any can run in interger scaling mode without bars

[rigid fjord]

5v input via usb but is converted down to 4.2v for charging the battery inside the controller, and 3.3v for pretty much the rest of the circuitry

[grizzled frost]

There ain't a single common resolution that integer scales with it

[wheat torrent]

Hmm

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah none of those are common honestly

[wheat torrent]

Agreed

[latent pasture]

5070super 18gb might be

[wheat torrent]

The displays must look phenomenal though I assume

Apple does good with their display tech

[grizzled frost]

even their IPS panels are quite good

[wheat torrent]

Retina resolution with very good colors and saturations

What panels do they use I didnt see anything mentioned, it must be oled

[tulip sparrow]

Hopefully as I am looking to future proof for VR ontop of 1440p gaming and once games start requring the full 16GB opf VRAM then tossing Vr ontop of not going to work well as that requries an addionatal 1-1.5gb of vram

[grizzled frost]

depends on the device

[wheat torrent]

Mmmm miniled, IPS or tandem oled

[tulip sparrow]

Which is partly why I am looking at the 7900 XT at least with its 20GB of vram I was hoping that the 7900 XTX would drop to sub $650 by the end of the year but it doesn't look like it

[wheat torrent]

They cost a fortune

[tulip sparrow]

$1k stand anyone?

[tidal geyser]

Nvidia and 9000 has better memory management

[grizzled frost]

Also most of their displays are DP alt mode only

just as an extra fuck you to anyone with a non-apple device

[wheat torrent]

They do only 60 hz

God damn

[wheat torrent]

What does this mean for me

[tulip sparrow]

Just use a DP to USB-C cable

[grizzled frost]

the apple engineers are just like "but 60hz on apple is basically 120hz on windows"

[tulip sparrow]

Currently how I am using my portable 15.6" monitor on my desktop

[wheat torrent]

[grizzled frost]

like that one clip where an apple engineer erroneously claims 8gb ram on mac is equivalent to 16gb ram on windows

[wheat torrent]

I think I'll skip and settle with a normal oled

[tulip sparrow]

Weren't iphones stuck with 4gb of ram for the longest time?

[wheat torrent]

But 6k Apple display must be godly

[grizzled frost]

till the 14, which is 6gb

[tulip sparrow]

My tablet has double that LOL

[grizzled frost]

16 is 8gb

seemingly it's "every two generations at 2gb of ram"

maybe the 18 will jump to 12gb!

[wheat torrent]

Plus I have no 32 inch version in my country only 27 and it costs 2500usd the cheapest

[grizzled frost]

the fact the iphone 16 has the same amount of ram as the base model mac from like 6 months ago? is crazy

[sinful cobalt]

u mean 480*

[tulip sparrow]

Anyone know of a mouse with a "clutch" on the side and a HI DPI setting at about 9k at the lowest and doesn't suffer from double clicking issues after a time of use?

My Razer Baslisk v1 is having the double click issue and its driving me up a wall

[tidal geyser]

Well yea, "razer"

[tulip sparrow]

Needs to be a heavier mouse as well

I don't care for the crazy light mice

[tidal geyser]

"but lighter mice are scientifically better"
-vaux

G503 should be good

[tulip sparrow]

I do not have the space for a light mouse

[tidal geyser]

Vaux is a idiot

[tulip sparrow]

I know people like that use low dpi and their entire arm for mouse movements and I have never had the proper space for that minus one time with my corner desk but that was well after having used a TINY desk that would barely fit a 24" main and a 20" secondary both 16:10 LOL

Meaning i was forced to use the max 7200DPI on my Razer Death Adder 3.5G even for basic windows usage

[jaunty apex]

Well how much idle memory does macos use

[tulip sparrow]

so I was forced to use minute movements using my wrists

and thus since I was using that for basically half my life its what I am use to using

Hence the "clutch" on the side of my basalisk being helpful for sniping in shooters like Fallout series

for more precise aiming by dropping the dpi down to like 800 or less

[tulip sparrow]

I know people swear by the 502 LOL

[gloomy sleet]

how

[tulip sparrow]

grumbles every search I am doing for the 503 brings up the 502 instead

Minus a reddit review without any links https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/jcto7l/i_bring_to_you_the_logitech_g503_aka_my_personal/

[gloomy sleet]

does the g503 even exist

[tulip sparrow]

Just like 2 images and thats it

5 years ago according to reddit LOL

So something exists that fits my critera of a mouse

[gloomy sleet]

criteria being?

[tulip sparrow]

"clutch" on the side for dropping the DPI for shooters heavier mouse and at least a 9k DPI setting

Looks like my current mouse is 107g in weight

at least according to razer

and one that doesn't suffer from double clicks after a while as that is what my current mouse is suffering from and its driving me NUTS I can't even drag windows around my desktop because of it

becuase it does a double click instead of click and hold

[gloomy sleet]

would buttons work for this?

[gloomy sleet]

id go for a m913

sensor for me atleast is good enough

wonderful for productivity

[tulip sparrow]

I need to be able to switch between low and standard(hi) in a blink of an eye so the clutch works perfectly with that for aiming down sights of a sniper rifle

Wireless over wired for desktop usage?

[gloomy sleet]

yes

absolutely i prefer wireless

[tulip sparrow]

m913 is a MMO mouse LOL

[gloomy sleet]

pressing one of the buttons on the top is fine

[gloomy sleet]

what idk what that is

[tulip sparrow]

12 side buttons LOL

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

as i said great for productivity

[tulip sparrow]

for all the skills you need in an mmorpg

hence it being an mmo mouse LOL

[gloomy sleet]

some games i dont even bother playing without it

[gloomy sleet]

never played an mmorpg in my life

[mental geyser]

so uhh

[gloomy sleet]

unless terraria counts but idk

[tulip sparrow]

maybe for you but that isn't going to work for me for switching between 9k and 400/800dpi on the fly

[mental geyser]

my amd software refuses to show anything except the first frame of some games when i try to record

[gloomy sleet]

you can very easily just press one of the 2 buttons

theres 5 modes you can cycle through

simply change it about

[tulip sparrow]

Whats the lowest those sliders can go?

[random garden]

Whats a good gpu with a price range of 500-600 dollars rn?

[mental geyser]

rtx 6070

[tulip sparrow]

The 5070 is still over $750

[mental geyser]

i said 6070

[gloomy sleet]

100

[mental geyser]

tech chat 1 is oddly silent

whys everyone in tech chat 2

whats so good about tech chat 2
its not even the original

[tulip sparrow]

Ok because all the fluff just says 1000 as the lowest

[gloomy sleet]

nah

it goes to 100

100-16000

[tulip sparrow]

Ok

Hence me asking lol

[swift night]

Hello you all, its me again, I also want to buy a second storage for this laptop ROG Strix G153 G513QY Advantage Edition I just want it for extra storage https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Internal-Gaming-MZ-V8P2T0B-AM/dp/B09JHL33X7?th=1, it doesn't have to be fancy, is this a good one?

[iron glen]

whas that mean

[tidal geyser]

sn5000

[south arrow]

He had a link with like 30 %2

[iron glen]

lol

[iron glen]

does a %2 do something or is it js tracking and advertising stuff?

[south arrow]

Just advertising tracking stoof it was a chungus link

[bitter crater]

something like a lexar nm790 or 990 evo plus or something would probably be good enough for you

[tidal geyser]

why nothing from WD

[bitter crater]

wd's are good too

[random garden]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/scaryfoster/saved/#view=mLBmFT
is this build good? Anything u would replace?

thanks again!

[shadow geyser]

may iask what cpu you have

[thorn viper]

r5 5700G

[gloomy sleet]

crazy

[tidal geyser]

what country

[gloomy sleet]

are you using the igpu

[tidal geyser]

no you do not

[thorn viper]

(i did not know shit about pcs when i got my pc)

[thorn viper]

r7 5700G mb mb

[thorn viper]

no, gtx 1650

[tidal geyser]

that you can have

[tidal geyser]

why a 5700g then

[gloomy sleet]

the igpu is probably better lol

[ebon marlin]

specific link was for america

[thorn viper]

i do not know

it was a friend of a family member that are co workers

[swift night]

from Paraguay, gonna buy it from USA and ship it here

[gloomy sleet]

fair enough

[shadow geyser]

hm from my knowledge a r7 5700g should not be getting that high unless you forgot to peel the plastic off the cooler or you dont have one attached to begin with, those g chips dont pull a lot of power anyway

[ebon marlin]

ay caramba

[gloomy sleet]

it absolutely shouldnt be that hot yeah

[thorn viper]

pre built, and i didnt know shit about pcs so i saw r7 and nvidia and i was like "ah yes thats good)

[swift night]

kind of

[gloomy sleet]

id recommend upgrading that gpu lol

anyway yeah it shouldnt be that hot

[shadow geyser]

i would recommend figuring out the temps before upgrading anything

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[thorn viper]

no shit, the guy said he re-applied thermal paste, didnt do shit (i think he didnt even peel the sticker off the cooler, which is a stock amd one) and my parents wont let me get thermal paste so i can remove the cooler so i can re-apply and potentially change it

[shadow geyser]

worry about that before an upgrade

[tidal geyser]

O YES
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Dgqrxr/kingspec-xg7000-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-xg-7000-2tb

[thorn viper]

i would be going for a 2nd hand 4060ti 16gb

[gloomy sleet]

wdym they arent letting you get thermal paste thats such a random thing

[thorn viper]

it costs as much as a regular 4060

[gloomy sleet]

thats fine

[tidal geyser]

same price as the p400 lite

[thorn viper]

they do not trust me, think ima break my pc fr

[tidal geyser]

go for this
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Dgqrxr/kingspec-xg7000-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-xg-7000-2tb

[thorn viper]

😭 🥀

[shadow geyser]

amn is at risk of eating the thermal paste for better body temps

body temp before = 37.5c

body temp after = 36c

[thorn viper]

rel

[gloomy sleet]

i would recommend taking the cooler off and seeing if the stickers on or some shit

[thorn viper]

dont i need thermal paste, so i can put it back on ?

[tidal geyser]

you do

[gloomy sleet]

yeah just have a quick look

[tidal geyser]

wat

[gloomy sleet]

see what the issue is

[thorn viper]

i need thermal paste cuh

[tidal geyser]

yea ya need new thermalpaste

[shadow geyser]

i dont care for g chips but i actually feel bad for that one

[gloomy sleet]

if the sticker is still on it id take the sticker off and just not use the pc until you do get thermal paste

[tidal geyser]

https://c.tenor.com/PQuJxjoERN0AAAAd/tenor.gif

[shadow geyser]

one of my close friends asked me if the part list from a company was a good deal or not, i saw so many red flags and had to ask how much they where charging for it.. in gbp it was iirc 1800, it had a 7500f, x870e board from asus, 1 stick of 32gb 5600 cl40, rtx 5060 ti (8gb) n a 1tb ssd, i told him he was gonna get scammed so i made him a list with good parts for straight gaming while costing like 100-200 more

[tidal geyser]

9800X3D and 5070 ti?

as you can fully fir those in there

[swift night]

why this over the earlier recommendation? or it is just another option?

[tidal geyser]

look at the speed

[shadow geyser]

9070xt, he wanted pure amd

[tidal geyser]

yea das good too

[thorn viper]

bargained with my parents

and im getting thermal paste tommorow 🗣️

[shadow geyser]

im doing the switch up from amd gpu to nvidia which probably isnt the best idea rn considering drivers

[tidal geyser]

its mostly usable now

it only took like half a year to a year

[shadow geyser]

good.. im thinking, get the 5080 now or wait till the super releases, same exact gpu in terms of specs just one has 24 gigs

[thorn viper]

man fuck chatgpt plus, im tryna ask it which thermal paste that is available in the electronics store is the best

[grizzled frost]

we're really doomed

the amount of people i've seen use ChatGPT for pc tips is alarming

[thorn viper]

bro, there is litterally no info on the pastes on the site

and it aint like they are some popular ones

i think?

[tidal geyser]

mx6

[shadow geyser]

i use thermalrights own paste, i havent had any issues with thermals

[tidal geyser]

just get that

[tidal geyser]

yea just use the paste that comes with the cooler

for him he wants to replace his

so got no spare

[thorn viper]

yo what

aint no way

[tidal geyser]

cheesecake

[shadow geyser]

ah then yea, mx6 is an easy route

[tidal geyser]

its cheap and good

[rigid fjord]

anything tech related should never be asked to "ai's"

[thorn viper]

oh?

[tidal geyser]

o hell no

[grizzled frost]

It is conductive, so if you leak any it will kill your motherbaord

[thorn viper]

oh damn

[grizzled frost]

You need a specific barrier, and it requires reapplication after a period of time

[thorn viper]

there is grizzly kryonaut

[rigid fjord]

never use LM's on gpu's also

[tidal geyser]

a midrange card from like 10 years ago

[shadow geyser]

from what i remember isnt the liquid metal shit for like the extreme overclockers that know exactly what their doing

[tidal geyser]

wanna replace thermalpaste every 3 months?

[thorn viper]

man idk what each thermal paste is and is made out of

[tidal geyser]

also mostly only good for direct die

[thorn viper]

nah, as i said there is no info on what these pastes are

[tidal geyser]

and there we have thermalpads now

[ripe field]

it just wont die but at the same time it works for half the shit i play (with fans at max speed obv)

[grizzled frost]

if it says "LM" next to it, it's liquid metal

[tidal geyser]

maybe send pics here?

[thorn viper]

ignore "термопаста" it means thermal paste

[ripe field]

not looking to upgrade anything in my rig, its pretty dated at this point anyway

[grizzled frost]

is that why my temps suck?

[ripe field]

next rebuild would be mini itx am5

[tidal geyser]

wtf there is mx6

[thorn viper]

is that good?

[tidal geyser]

why tf do you think i said it before

[thorn viper]

idk, it may be shit

[tidal geyser]

also holy hell kingpin stuff is there, do not go for it but just wow

[thorn viper]

how could i know

[grizzled frost]

maybe check the chart specifically provided to you

[tidal geyser]

too hard

[tidal geyser]

cant read

[tidal geyser]

what?

[rigid fjord]

just grab the arctic mx-4/mx-6

[thorn viper]

so mx-6 then, aight

it even comes with cleaning wipes

cool

[rigid fjord]

duh

[shadow geyser]

i would buy it just to frame it lmao

[random gyro]

would i5 12600KF with a B580 cause a high amount of bottleneck in 1080P

[ebon marlin]

none

[thorn viper]

is kingpin also LM?

[ebon marlin]

stop trusting random bottleneck websites

[grizzled frost]

no, it just sucks

[thorn viper]

oh lol

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/choking-gif-18241023091515446173

[random gyro]

dude, im a rookie wym

[ripe field]

save me 9060xt

[tidal geyser]

na im just not sure how it performs i think its good but no clue how long it lasts

[ripe field]

come save me 9060xt

[tidal geyser]

nobody with a brain uses the b word

anyways what is your current specs

[random gyro]

non

[ripe field]

fucking bummed i got denied for scholarship else i would've gone ham for a new build

[distant frigate]

Test run of the gas furnace

[random gyro]

im getting my first pc

[tidal geyser]

what is your budget and contry

[random garden]

Looking for good rgb fans. not too expensive cus i plan on installing 10 of them

[ebon marlin]

blow it up

[distant frigate]

I can smell the dust lol

[random gyro]

35K just for the case and Turkey

[ebon marlin]

Arctic P12 pst ARGB

yummy turkey

[tidal geyser]

rip welp cant help much there then

those specs should be fine

[grizzled frost]

i'm not knowledgeable on deli meat

[distant frigate]

I didn’t really hear the limit switch turn much and I was starting to get a little worried

The limit switch is basically a metal wheel. Atleast in this furnace

[tidal geyser]

buy that one

[grizzled frost]

#peripherals

[random gyro]

do not buy 60%'s for the love of god

[tidal geyser]

i love mine

[random gyro]

just buy one with a numpad

[tidal geyser]

o hell no

that shit aint fitting in a backpack well

[random gyro]

we love function over minimality

[rose stream]

[grizzled frost]

numpads are useless

[random gyro]

what are your choices

[grizzled frost]

tenkeyless my beloved

[random gyro]

they are usefull for me

[thorn viper]

numpad is overrated, i have one and i use it only for random controls on warthunder, tkl is goated

[tidal geyser]

yup main is TKL and another on the way from ali

[random gyro]

Razer, MSI, SteelSeries, Logitech

[tidal geyser]

not heard of anyone ever rec MSI

and razer is well, razer

[grizzled frost]

razer is overpriced, with generally subpar quality

[ebon marlin]

never get mainstream peripherals other than monitors

[tidal geyser]

and malware like firmware

[jaunty apex]

So not like.. Keychron?

[random gyro]

yea js buy one of those random keyboards with features no one will use

[ebon marlin]

Keychron is not mainstream

[grizzled frost]

Keychron is a good option

[rose stream]

Keychron is not really considered mainstream, so they're exempt from that advice.

[tidal geyser]

this is the thing i got for 30$, not really rec it unless super budget
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009672124579.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.71.74421802fuhZ26

[ebon marlin]

I own a Keychron K2v2 and Keychron wouldn't be my first choice

[grizzled frost]

Personal preference

[rose stream]

In fact, they're a great choice, so I'd recommend them over mainstream options.

[jaunty apex]

Truly

96% has pretty much all keys and is smaller than a full size board

[tidal geyser]

so much good stuff on ali

[gloomy sleet]

what budget?

i would say a keychron v6 though

[jaunty apex]

V5 QMK is $50

[craggy cove]

i have an apex pro tkl and its pretty good but damn its 200€ new lol

[tidal geyser]

i got it for 100$

[craggy cove]

2 of the leds have died, the scroll wheel jumps around and the oled has burn in

[craggy cove]

yep i bought mine from a pawn shop for 50€

[gloomy sleet]

absolutely recommend this

[craggy cove]

defects ofc not mentioned

[shadow geyser]

tkl with numpad is the way to go

[craggy cove]

i recommend changing the keycaps for either the steelseries prsmcaps or any other pudding keycap of your choice

the abs ones kinda sucked

[shadow geyser]

so like 80-85%

[quick stag]

hollywood being Hollywood once again

[tidal geyser]

do you know what tkl is

[jaunty apex]

What is it? A motorola?

[shadow geyser]

tenkey less ik

[azure topaz]

this guy just blew my mind

[shadow geyser]

i added another message onto it

[tidal geyser]

tkl is without the numpad

[quick stag]

Pixel 6 or pro or pixel 7 or pro

[craggy cove]

https://tenor.com/view/polly-o-cheese-nothing-nuttin-pizza-gif-5817644302252767462

[jaunty apex]

Separate numpad I think they mean..

[azure topaz]

LEMME GET A PIZZA WITH NOTHIN

[shadow geyser]

ik i added another message onto it as i said, its like an 80-85% instead of the 75%

[jaunty apex]

I was being facetious

[tidal geyser]

how would that work

[jaunty apex]

Its always a pixel or iphone

[craggy cove]

lemme get a tkl keyboard with a numpad

[shadow geyser]

the bottom left of the numpad is right next to the right arrow

[tidal geyser]

you mean 1800 compact

[craggy cove]

what am i gonna do with all that saved space?

[azure topaz]

jork

[shadow geyser]

smaller than 1800 compact

[tidal geyser]

could make it just fit in a backpack

[craggy cove]

no right ctrl?

[azure topaz]

move your mouse 1.5 inches more left

[shadow geyser]

smaller than 1800 bigger than tkl

[tidal geyser]

not possible

[craggy cove]

what a funky thing

[jaunty apex]

Wtf the 80% one has it

[shadow geyser]

well im sorry but it is

[tidal geyser]

no it has the home del end kinda buttons

[gloomy sleet]

this exists btw

[tidal geyser]

how

[rose stream]

Hmmmm I've had an 80% for a while and I've done pretty fine with.

[shadow geyser]

1800 has the f keys right, mine doesnt, theres no space in between the numpad and arrow keys, its compact like a tkl

its more compact than the 1800 compact

[rose stream]

I wonder if it would also be fine going with a 65% next or so.

[tidal geyser]

no f1 and such keys is 65% and such

[jaunty apex]

I want to try numpad but thats just another thing for me to keep track of rn. Still set on 96%

[tidal geyser]

expanded 65% is what it sounds like you have

[shadow geyser]

nvm it is a 75%

[tidal geyser]

wtf is that

[shadow geyser]

my exact keyboard

[tidal geyser]

it makes no sense

[shadow geyser]

makes a ton of sense

[tulip sparrow]

left handed numpad FTW

[tidal geyser]

why not just add the buttons that are on top as extra buttons with fn for the f1 keys

[rose stream]

Oh shoot. Forgot about that.

[tidal geyser]

and just had the extra row for dedicated f1 keys

[rose stream]

Okay, 75% it is then.

[tidal geyser]

80% is tkl'

[tulip sparrow]

That is all

[tidal geyser]

das is 80%

[gloomy sleet]

thats a 1800

[tidal geyser]

noooo wtf is that

[tulip sparrow]

?

[tidal geyser]

cursed

[tulip sparrow]

That would be my exact keyboard. Its a full that gives me the benefits of a smaller one

[gloomy sleet]

opinions

[craggy cove]

confused

[tidal geyser]

i really do not like the keys

[gloomy sleet]

its low profile

[craggy cove]

i kinda need those keys

oh right

[gloomy sleet]

low profile boards are quite nice

[tulip sparrow]

So it comes with a Mac layout out of the box and gives you the keys to switch it over to windows

[craggy cove]

my bad im stupid

[rose stream]

Oh hey, this is the kind I had been looking into... Just not with that enter key in particular.

[gloomy sleet]

they feel really quick

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

keychron is partnered with apple iirc

[craggy cove]

not me buying pudding keycaps just to disable the rgb on my keyboard

[rose stream]

Well that's interesting to know.

[gloomy sleet]

thats crazy

[tulip sparrow]

I have my keys set to a dull red color

[rigid fjord]

reminds me of many oem laptop keyboards

[gloomy sleet]

i dont even know if this keyboard has rgb

[tulip sparrow]

So I don't blow my eyes out in the dark. I live in florida and the windows here SUCK so I need to keep them covered during the hotter days and yeah there is no overhead light in this room just 2 lamps on oppisite corners of the room LOL

I don't even have a cieling fan in here let alone a ceiling mounted light

[gloomy sleet]

i dont think ive ever actually seen a ceiling fan before

[craggy cove]

990 pro 2tb with heatsink 115€, yea or nah

[rose stream]

You need to look up more often when inside places. Lol.

[craggy cove]

rn i have a 1tb and 500gb ssd but i could sell them for like 80€ or something

[tulip sparrow]

Agreed

[craggy cove]

someone wrote gullible on the ceiling

[rigid fjord]

no, grab a sn580 or mp44l 2tb for like 70-90

[gloomy sleet]

yeah no like ive literally never seen a ceiling fan in person before

they just arent common here i guess

[rose stream]

And then another wrote "stupid" on the floor.

[craggy cove]

:(

[tidal geyser]

sn580

[rose stream]

Interesting.

[true stirrup]

Literally every single one of the 15ish houses my grandparents moved into had a ceiling fan lol

[surreal dirge]

how do people decide what motherboard to go for? I'm doing my first build and seeing a lot of mixed reviews, most are to avoid asrock because of cpu frying

[rigid fjord]

what country?

[craggy cove]

estonia

[gloomy sleet]

its not hot enough for that i guess

[tulip sparrow]

Since I live in the south all places have multiple cieling fans in the building LOL

[craggy cove]

990 pro 2tb for 115€ new from some weird reseller tho

[gloomy sleet]

what country?

[rigid fjord]

ah, able to buy from amazon germany dude?

[true stirrup]

Slovenia

[gloomy sleet]

odd

[tidal geyser]

if its real ofc da good stuff

[craggy cove]

yes

[true stirrup]

What CPU?

[surreal dirge]

[tidal geyser]

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

[craggy cove]

tho i dont think theres anything much better

[rose stream]

If it proves anything, we have four in my house and one above the back porch.

[true stirrup]

Get the cheapest B650 that has decent vrm heatsinks and enough IO for you

[surreal dirge]

I have a post already, just want some quick clarification

[tidal geyser]

o yes

[rigid fjord]

try messing with some of these dude, would need to conver from mains to 5v but saying that, they're fully dimmable

[gloomy sleet]

most of the time i see one online or in a pic or something its in a relatively hot country like spain

[tulip sparrow]

yup LOL

[craggy cove]

no need but like 30€ after selling my current sata ones like why not

[gloomy sleet]

we just dont really need them here

[tulip sparrow]

I just don't have one in my room which is annoying

[craggy cove]

rip io shield

i once tried modifying an old io shield to fit a newer mobo but i just ended up cutting half the metal out lol

metalworking expert

[iron glen]

hi https

[craggy cove]

hello brownie

[gloomy sleet]

ceiling fans look kinda scary ngl

they unironically look like something out of final destination

[rose stream]

[rigid fjord]

hmm, the ones i would normally link are either matching that for price or not available til like november/december time

[gloomy sleet]

your telling me the spinning blades going like 500rpm above your head isnt scary??

[craggy cove]

nand cartel at it again i guess

[rose stream]

I get finding another culture's norm to be foreign, but another climate's essential being out of a surreal scifi is something else.

[rigid fjord]

nope

[craggy cove]

870 evo 1tb i bought for 50€ on sale is now 100€ holy

[rose stream]

No, because they don't even go that fast.

[craggy cove]

ddr4 also went from 30€ to 40€ (2x8gb)

[gloomy sleet]

i think there is actually a scene in final destination or some other horror where some guy does get chopped up by a ceiling fan

[rose stream]

Most start from 50rpm and stop at 200.
There are high speed ones that exists too, but they only go up to 380 or 400.

[rigid fjord]

the worst you get from a fan blade breaking off a ceiling fan is a bruise

[gloomy sleet]

dang

[raw trout]

Why does that build look so damn good from the back

[gloomy sleet]

it looks a lot faster in the videos ive seen

[raw trout]

A celing fan fell on me before

[rose stream]

The worst you could get is stand up while one is at full speed and totally get banged up.

[raw trout]

You can fracture ur finger by sticking it in one

[gloomy sleet]

i imagine theyre made of something that doesnt like rip your head off tbf

[rose stream]

Meanwhile this, this is the opposite direction of the worst that could also happen.

[raw trout]

Like complely

[raw trout]

While spinning high speed

I got tickled nothing bad

[rigid fjord]

they're not that fast, centrifugal forces would cause it to break if it goes above a certain rpm, they're mainly slow spinners for a reason

[raw trout]

It felt like I got punched in the stomach

[gloomy sleet]

anyway yeah ceiling fans are incredibly odd to me they just look kinda dangerous even though theyre probably fine

[gloomy sleet]

really? id imagine they spin kinda fast

[rigid fjord]

bitch slapped by a fan basically

[gloomy sleet]

or are they just like 5 metres wide

[raw trout]

My fan is a 6 speed transmission smart alexa support atomberg

[raw trout]

You can pulverised ur freaking finger

[rigid fjord]

nope, they're not fully balanced on the blades

[gloomy sleet]

oh fair

[rigid fjord]

you could do that with a hammer. so?

[rigid fjord]

if you properly watch a ceiling fan, most of them have a wobble to them

[daring zinc]

should I get a 2 terabyte ssd?

[rose stream]

Most ceiling fan blades on them are rounded at the edges and the materials are usually wood. Metal ones are also fashioned in the same way where they have soft edges. The ones that might not are usually only in the industrial setting or such like a warehouse or something and those tend not only to be massive and have many blades, but also spin very slowly and have far sturdier mounting.

[true stirrup]

Sure

[tidal geyser]

i dono should you?

[rigid fjord]

for games or whatnot, yes

[raw trout]

Also nowadays fans come with a safety cable and fan blade fail safes and a switch that trips when the fan wobbles too much or detaches

[daring zinc]

that's what im thinking rn

[tidal geyser]

what are reasons not to

[daring zinc]

idk tbh

[raw trout]

And they don't have enough torque to flop around if they come off

[tidal geyser]

so why ask

[rose stream]

They indeed do. There's even plenty with lengthier mounts that have something of a balljoint or such to compensate for those forces as well without shaking their mounts much.

[rigid fjord]

internally, most have either a steel wire or chain that's for preventing it from fully falling and hittign the floor

[daring zinc]

because most people told me not to

[tidal geyser]

who and why

[raw trout]

That's what I meant a steelbwire

[daring zinc]

my irls

the reason was just

"save up your money"

😭

[raw whale]

yall anyone have suggestions for 850 euro build in italy, must be from amazon

[rose stream]

I mean... It's not wrong advice either.

[daring zinc]

ik

[raw whale]

Mostly modded minecraft, 32gb of RAM, possibly reasonably futureproof

[tidal geyser]

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

[daring zinc]

but this 2 terabyte ssd is only 90 euros

[raw whale]

was just looking for quick tips

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/itzillit-cat-sleepy-cat-gif-1344318570403703586

[rose stream]

Which one exactly?

[raw whale]

would u say that is undoable

[tidal geyser]

its physicly not possible yes

[rain kettle]

[craggy cove]

whats a verbatim

[raw whale]

im asking for a friend, i did tell them they dont really need 32gb, since the build they made was with DDR4 and AM4 but hey

[tidal geyser]

"futureproof"

[jaunty apex]

Word for word

[raw whale]

yeah thats what i was tryina to tell em

[raw whale]

would you reckon a r7 5700 and 5060 be bottlenecked

[rose stream]

Hhhmmmmmmm....

[raw whale]

he kinda wants it to be able to play gta VI in future so uhm if anyone has any ideas, ik its not official but eh

[gloomy sleet]

thats fair enough

they still look insanely odd

[rose stream]

Anyone know anything about Verbatim drives in particular?

[craggy cove]

no

[raw whale]

they barely fit innit

[raw trout]

They be verbatim

[jaunty apex]

They fit just fine

[gloomy sleet]

i suppose a 120mm case fan going like 2000rpm doesnt do much damage to you so they wouldnt

[daring zinc]

it has a bunch of good reviews

[craggy cove]

they cut fingernails nicely

[gloomy sleet]

ehh

[rain kettle]

They've been around for years, 50+ years iirc? Pretty good quality, especially for the price

[rigid fjord]

if you look up the shaft on this, you'll find there's a ball that's grooved as a keying that holds the fan into the top cover where it's mounted to the ceiling, some even have it so that has an extra separate mount to take any extra weight/strain off the shaft

[raw trout]

Ssd from the brand "copied"

[craggy cove]

"nicely"

[gloomy sleet]

ive accidentally stuck my finger into one and it didnt do anything

[rose stream]

Ngl, I think the best way to fix that viewpoint... Would be to look at photos of a Lowe's or Home Depot, specifically in their ceiling fans departments.

[raw trout]

Why is bro stroking ut

[rigid fjord]

the chain ones tend to be better than the steel wired ones tbh

[daring zinc]

should I get it or save my money?

[ebon marlin]

for a second I thought in the first picture it was Gordon Ramsey with a mixer of some sort

[rigid fjord]

tightening a screw for the shaft to the fan itself

[gloomy sleet]

i did not think theyd use a dedicated ceiling fan box

[raw trout]

We indian people don't need fan boxes

[gloomy sleet]

any reason a lights wiring wouldnt work for a ceiling fan?

[rain kettle]

I mean how much are you willing to spend on the drive?

[daring zinc]

its 90 euros for 2 terabytes

the ssd looks solid

[rigid fjord]

in many places they do, but many use a basic one that screws straight into the plasterboard (more preferable if at least one side went up into som timber instead

[exotic valley]

Question, why does nvidia base their 50 series cards off 5 nm process node instead of 4nm or 3nm like n3e or n3p?

[daring zinc]

it has the same speed as my current ssd

[rain kettle]

I mean, speed-wise the Kingston NV2 should be faster

[rigid fjord]

piss poor cable being used

[raw whale]

because theyre greedy 😂

[rain kettle]

Same price iirc and would be easier warranty wise

[raw whale]

no i actually dont have a lcue im joking

[exotic valley]

Probably, they are deterring the improvement for future generation just to make as much money as possible

[daring zinc]

so I shouldn't get this?

[exotic valley]

They wanna make the generational leap as incremental as possible

[raw whale]

oh i dont have a clue i was joking

[rose stream]

Anyway Vaux, here's your dose of ceiling fanness out of a Lowes. Lol.

[gloomy sleet]

huh they arent that big

[rain kettle]

Choice is yours

[gloomy sleet]

also is there really that massive of a market for ceiling fans?

[rigid fjord]

some use the casing itself to act as both the mounting bracket and box for wiring

[rigid fjord]

yes, a large one

[gloomy sleet]

i assume in countries where it actually gets over like 30c

i do think the uk will need ceiling fans soon it gets really fucking hot in the summers

[rigid fjord]

nope, even in cooler climates it helps promote airflow in a room

[rose stream]

Mmmm well, they can always be bigger, like the ones I mentioned for warehouses and such.

[gloomy sleet]

damn that is a fan

[rigid fjord]

you're so dumb with this statement, they've been available for at least 20-30 years for uk homes

[raw trout]

Woahhh

[gloomy sleet]

ive literally never seen one let alone installed one

i imagine soon we'll be needing some

[rigid fjord]

best one ever

[rose stream]

I mean, he's compared them to something out Final Destination. I could excuse it if he finds them that foreign in concept.

Myyy goodness, that must be quite the amount of weigh on them rafters.

[rigid fjord]

i've helped install a couple, and have seen more than the ones i've helped with

[rose stream]

I've done so too.

[gloomy sleet]

i find them foreign in concept because ive literally never seen one in person

[rose stream]

Mainly ones that had to be installed in my room, which has happened a few times.

[raw trout]

I saw this at an military airport and they spin so slow www

[rigid fjord]

nah, solid wood, better than plasterboard, also duaal threaded screws being used

[raw trout]

And so goddamn but

[surreal dirge]

Can you recommend which you would go for? I would have gone for the B650M AORUS ELITE AX but it's not in stock as I believe it's newly launched. So it's either TUF B650M or MSI B650M and both are selling for the same price (£130).

[rigid fjord]

everything be foreign to you then

[gloomy sleet]

i think its quite interesting ive never seen one since i used to be an electrician

[true stirrup]

Which MSI B650M exactly?

[rigid fjord]

this is funny and makes me question

[rose stream]

Well yeah, but of course you really would want to only mount it to that sort and nothing else. In houses like mine, it's more than just a bit much... And that's not counting even the amount of space it takes up too. Lol.

[raw trout]

I want one where to buy?

[rose stream]

I like the choice of lighting diffusement here.

[rigid fjord]

it's a shame i can never have a ceiling fan in my room due to having a parrot

[rigid fjord]

amazon.com

[rose stream]

I just have to make sure mine's flush enough to the ceiling so it's not that low.

[surreal dirge]

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B650M-GAMING-PLUS-WIFI

[rigid fjord]

even then i still wouldn't be able to use it tbh, my parrot gets to free roam in my room for pretty much all the day

[rigid fjord]

would love to have this one essentially @rose stream

[bronze summit]

I love my Amazon workers

[true stirrup]

Honestly get whichever one of those two looks better to you
There are basically no differences in what they offer
Forget this message which exact Asus tuff b650m is it? I just found one that is not that good

[rigid fjord]

at least they aimed to hide it so it don't get stolen, unlike fedex

[bronze summit]

Nah I told them to do it

And they complied

[rigid fjord]

@rose stream you ever seen the ceiling fans where the blades themself light up?

[rose stream]

Not yet.

Would be neat though.

[rose stream]

Mmm. Not quite the exact one I'd prefer, but I will say it's aesthetic is gorgeous.

[rigid fjord]

"gamer" ceiling fan

[pliant snow]

Was just to test to make sure it worked it’s going with a 9959x3d

[rose stream]

Hmmm... Well that's definitely different. I was almost expecting something to do some fiber optics in it's design or was fully LED lit with diffusion all across the blades' edges.

[pliant snow]

It’s sold out going to buy one when it’s in stock

[bronze summit]

A gamer ceiling fan for me is just a ceiling fan with no light

[surreal dirge]

there be wifi6/6e for ya

[bronze summit]

Creaperhead just suggested it randomly

[surreal dirge]

TUF has 1x5.0 PCIe m.2 slot but both my drives are 4.0 anyway

[bronze summit]

I deadass don't know if it's good or not lmao

I just bought it

[jaunty apex]

Its probably good

[rigid fjord]

it'll be a decent wifi card, and you can easily upgrade it for faster wifi tbh

[jaunty apex]

Its an intel AX52, thats known to be a good chip

Or wait

[bronze summit]

I'll install it today and then have fun with it

This shit better be fuckin true

[craggy cove]

last time i bought an intel wifi card it freaked out on my amd system and only worked on my intel one

full factory reset and official drivers, guess the ax210 just didnt like my ryzen

[true stirrup]

Yeah get whichever of those 2 you prefer

[rigid fjord]

just remember it's as fast as ethernet, but comes with ways to disrupt it by like distance from the router and walls being in the way

[bronze summit]

Wait I have a ryzen system

[craggy cove]

ymmv

[bronze summit]

As long as it's running 400mbps we good

[craggy cove]

intel cards are supposedly the best option, compared to mediateks and such

sample size: 1

[jaunty apex]

Sorry Intel AX210

Way off. Still good though I believe

[bronze summit]

Anyways imma go install it

I pray that it's good

[mystic geyser]

I just built this computer and I’ve been trying to install windows to it but it always restarts during the process. This build is for my little cousin whose birthday is soon and I need help ASAP. Please and thank you

[surreal dirge]

I think the TUF has the edge especially for looks and the clearance for the CPU cooler is better, is there anything I should consider or should I hit the buy button?

[craggy cove]

yeah i thought so, never heard of a ax52

[surreal dirge]

thanks for the help too

[craggy cove]

ax210 is like the standard wifi 6e chip

good, if it works

[jaunty apex]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LenovoLegion/comments/1bs3xs5/does_the_ax210_wifi_card_work_with_a_ryzen_cpu/

According to reddit

AXxx1 will need intel cpus

[craggy cove]

sample size 1 from me

i assume the AXxx1 chips are found in laptops

[true stirrup]

Yeah for looks I agree the TUF looks better
Heatsinks clearance is not a problem on either tho
So yeah if you prefer how the TUF looks go for it

[craggy cove]

the wifi card worked after installing drivers, but right after a restart device manager didnt like it

just ended up giving it to my brother and it works fine now

really good compared to those tiny usb dongles

[jaunty apex]

I bet..

Used to use one of those when I was younger, it was pretty bad

Mostly hardwire now other machine has wifi on the motherboard though

[craggy cove]

i needed one in 2022 and found a wifi 4 dongle in a drawer lol

worked (horribly)

[craggy cove]

i have one of those asrock motherboards where you can add your own wifi card

[surreal dirge]

I'm building in a A3 so a concern was an air cooler fitting with the GPU being in the first slot, though haven't decided if AIO is the way instead
would you go AIO or AC?
thanks again for your input, new to this and want to relieve any headaches when I go to put it all together

[craggy cove]

which i think should be the standard for non wifi motherboards

[jaunty apex]

I think I had this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00762YNMG/

[craggy cove]

though finding a wifi card with the antenna wires n stuff is weird sometimes

[craggy cove]

supports ubuntu!

[jaunty apex]

I think I had to fanangle drivers in when I used it. Probably fine now

[craggy cove]

ok this is also wifi 4 lol

[jaunty apex]

This was like 2019

[craggy cove]

i see why some routers still advertise wifi 5 as a selling point

[jaunty apex]

Pixel 10 5G

[true stirrup]

A dualtower air cooler would be enough
The AIO would basically only be for looks unless there really is a clearance problem with your case

[craggy cove]

not quite but sure

though still including 5g in 2025 is also weird

well i suppose

[jaunty apex]

oof

[rigid fjord]

it's the ax200 that definitely works with amd in comparison to the ax210/ax201

[craggy cove]

damn lol, live and learn

my router isnt even wifi 6e so that was stupid

[jaunty apex]

Well hopefully itll be fine. 3 people recommended the thing

[rigid fjord]

ax200 = wifi 6 btw

[craggy cove]

yep i bought this wifi 6 router

got a pretty good deal but uhh all my stuff is hardwired so

i dont think i need the wifi 6 speeds on my phone

[rigid fjord]

tbf, the bonus of wifi cards nowadays is that it has BT built in

[craggy cove]

and i dont use the special rog "gaming" features either

[jaunty apex]

I did this but specifically for VR, and partially for openwrt with the one I chose

But that came later

[craggy cove]

125hz polling rates and audio with 2 second delay for all

[jaunty apex]

I thought all of those pcie wifi cards had bluetooth. Or at least vast majority.
Guess I havent really looked much

[craggy cove]

cant remember the last time i needed bluetooth on a pc

[rigid fjord]

when you install it, make sure you got a usb 2.0 header free on the mobo

[serene eagle]

wsp

[craggy cove]

they usually do

[jaunty apex]

I thought it was wsg

[rigid fjord]

ps3/ps4 controller use on your pc 😉

[serene eagle]

isnt wsg and wsp the same?

[bronze summit]

I'll make sure

[rigid fjord]

it's how the BT is done with those cards

[jaunty apex]

I guess they have the same meaning but idk. Im old I guess.

[serene eagle]

Yep, makes sense

[true stirrup]

wsg = what's good
wsp= what's up
So yeah basically the same meaning

[jaunty apex]

Dont see the reason in turning "whats poppin" into 3 letters

[craggy cove]

sadly never used a controller in my life (wiimote doesnt count)
tried buying one on fb marketplace but just got ghosted lol

[jaunty apex]

I mean these arent pagers or t9s lol

[rigid fjord]

ebay/amazon instead for sure, and 8btido 🙂

[serene eagle]

i am too tired writing everything in long form tbh

[jaunty apex]

Gonna be a long life

[true stirrup]

I missed an Ender 3 for 37€ today
It sold out during checkout 🥲

[rigid fjord]

tbf, t9's are stupid

[serene eagle]

Gang, i need dat asap

[craggy cove]

im gonna play like a game journalist if i ever get one

[rigid fjord]

damn, that sucks, and they're stupidly easy to modyfy

[serene eagle]

cmon, dont do that to us 😭

[jaunty apex]

tbf we werent writing emails or sending messages every 5 seconds on phones when T9s were a thing. Unless you had a blackberry

[rigid fjord]

i literally disable predictive text on every phone i have

[serene eagle]

well, i did own a blackberry for quiet a while when i was 11 ish

[raw trout]

Hi

[craggy cove]

hello

non-curved ultrawide seems psychopathic

[serene eagle]

I think it was a 9900 or a 9780

[jaunty apex]

LG Remarq

[serene eagle]

Pretty good monitor

[jaunty apex]

To be honest I was more upset I got a phone that year than a bug sanctuary thing I wanted as a kid lmao

[craggy cove]

210€, "75hz but feels like its more" ???

[true stirrup]

I know and since it was this dirt cheap I could have just spent some extra money on upgrades and not feel bad about it

[serene eagle]

I think thats a bit overpriced

[craggy cove]

i remember air traffic control selling 50 inch monitors for 200€

[jaunty apex]

Motion smoothing?

[craggy cove]

only like 5 years old too

[rigid fjord]

i'mma be spending around £100 on upgrading mine, part of it is extending the height it can print up to

[serene eagle]

damn

[craggy cove]

probably, vaseline can be enjoyed by all

[serene eagle]

I have this one

isnt the best, but its running

[serene eagle]

its a dell

[rigid fjord]

i can't find any larger beds for my ender 3 that what it comes with sadly

[serene eagle]

got it in a pack with my PC

[hallow jasper]

because it is

[craggy cove]

i have a cheapo 240hz va, ghosts like crazy but eh 85€

[craggy cove]

let me turn my head to see the time

[jaunty apex]

I miss having a curved screen tbh

[true stirrup]

That's great
The upgradability really is awesome

[craggy cove]

problem was using other screens felt very weird

[serene eagle]

85 feels good

[jaunty apex]

Makes sense. Im still single monitor somehow though

[craggy cove]

10€ upgrade from my 144hz curved i said why not

[hallow jasper]

When I went from a 34" curve ultrawide to a 42" flat, the difference made it feel like the flat screen was literally bending away from me. Took about a week to adjust.

[jaunty apex]

Balling ass PC, I call myself an enthusiast and a linux user and I only have the one monitor like

[craggy cove]

the centre was bulging for me

[jaunty apex]

[craggy cove]

a second monitor simply doesnt fit on my desk lol

[rigid fjord]

it is, up to a point tbh, it also can be limiting in some ways

[craggy cove]

not gonna fiddle with monitor arms either

alt tabbing has served me well

[jaunty apex]

HyperX Armada 27" comes with an arm mount for the monitor

[craggy cove]

and has caused plenty of crashes in source games

[serene eagle]

Is using Linux in a VM fine, I dont want to boot it up separate everytime i try using

[jaunty apex]

I have a windows install on another drive but I havent used it in a long time

[craggy cove]

like 150€ more than similar offerings here so yeah

150€ arm mount rather

[jaunty apex]

Boot it up once in a while so whatever Im doing will "just work" but otherwise I do pretty much everything here

[serene eagle]

I mean, my dad does use my PC for his work, soo I don't want him to feel uncomfortable

[craggy cove]

can this stop disabling itself

oh right ram problems

bios resets

[jaunty apex]

So glad I dont play any games that need this.. Genuine pain

[craggy cove]

genius system, so if i want to avoid secure boot i just buy an older system without secure boot?

well atleast until october

isnt that the windows 10 eol

2 weeks before actually

[jaunty apex]

ye

[hallow jasper]

its really not

unless you're running old hardware

[craggy cove]

i really dont want windows 11 lol

ive only heard horror stories

[serene eagle]

tbh i like it now

[craggy cove]

and linux stumped me the first time i used it

[craggy cove]

i probably gotta fiddle with it a lot

[jaunty apex]

I mostly mean anticheats that require stuff like this especially.

[craggy cove]

startallback and all that

[serene eagle]

why so

[serene eagle]

ah

[craggy cove]

stupid start menu and that right click thing

the right click thing was easy

[hallow jasper]

FUD, plain and simple. After 4 years i'm convinced its just the clueless who love to complain.

[jaunty apex]

Hate windows 11 for that

[serene eagle]

https://tenor.com/view/lil-yachty-drake-oprahs-bank-account-meme-laptop-gif-20803826

[craggy cove]

so clean

[serene eagle]

It isnt that bad 😭

[true stirrup]

Win 11 is as bad as win 10

[hallow jasper]

If at this point in 2025 you still haven't used 11 and think its horrible, there isn't much anyone can do. You're simply out of the loop and just believing headlines.

[craggy cove]

idk dont want my ssd bricked (apparently that was a hoax?)

[jaunty apex]

I love complaining about the fact I feel the need to disable a ton of windows features to make the OS usable yeh.

[serene eagle]

https://tenor.com/view/i-don't-know-idk-idk-about-that-gif-7336250873949261946

[craggy cove]

also its still slower than windows 10 in gaming, somehow

[craggy cove]

sometimes

[serene eagle]

I don't game often, soo not a issue for me at all

[craggy cove]

35 asterisks

[hallow jasper]

... more FUD, and no it was not a hoax but it also wasn't MS's fault. This is the kinda thing i'm talking about, if you only go headline deep you're (not just you) so underinformed.
