[gloomy sleet]

thats not even an imperial measurements thing thats america actively not using standard measurements

[azure topaz]

okay he still hasnt answered why no nvme

@random gyro do u have nvme shawty?

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[ebon marlin]

Hope it goes through

[gloomy sleet]

[random gyro]

i do

[azure topaz]

why not use that

[brave brook]

i am not american, so i have no idea

[gloomy sleet]

fair enough

[random gyro]

idk how to take gpu off and shii

[azure topaz]

not too deep and you end up with a like 20x faster drive lol

[quick stag]

lel

[azure topaz]

2 maybe 3 screws, cable, and a slot

[gloomy sleet]

thats just excessive

[azure topaz]

good upload the download could be better

[left dove]

well lucky you for not having 300 properties on your node

[azure topaz]

RAHHH

[quick stag]

not when you host servers

[azure topaz]

whats a server

[quick stag]

my isp isnt happy with me doing so but idgaf

[left dove]

lets gooo

[quick stag]

a device generally on the network that serves data to other devices connected on the same network or on the internet

[azure topaz]

whys it do that

[quick stag]

tuff

[azure topaz]

sadly im at work

[quick stag]

[distant frigate]

Okkk so GoNetSpeed installed this

[quick stag]

[left dove]

pole mount!

[azure topaz]

i mean this is my work computer

im not putting SHIT in this thing

[random gyro]

@azure topaz

[azure topaz]

13500 and igpu more than good

[azure topaz]

u got 2 slots? or just ht eone

[velvet current]

guys rate my setup (laptop)

[azure topaz]

do you know what board you got brotha

[velvet current]

it feels empty

[distant frigate]

This seems like it would be for the messenger wire that would support the new fiber cable

[azure topaz]

yeah get a computer

[left dove]

shrink your spotify ui and put it on a fraction of the display

[velvet current]

mhmm

[azure topaz]

no the lyrics are peak

[quick stag]

same

[random gyro]

Gigabyte B650M C V3 Motherboard

[velvet current]

i always stare at the lyrics

[left dove]

nah it's a clamp mount for a pole box that's gonna have the main overhead bundle that gets split off to individual residences

[quick stag]

@azure topaz

[rigid fjord]

you should have 2-3 m.2 slots then

[random gyro]

Just 1 idk

[azure topaz]

if u can fit ur hands under ur gpu youll have another one

[dark tiger]

I use BINUX Btw

[velvet current]

yeah ig, but its like, 1 typec port plugged to my laptop handles all of it

[azure topaz]

dont lie to me

[quick stag]

ugly ahh xfce config

[azure topaz]

should be able to see it below your gpu

just get an NVME for sure, no reasont ob uy sata in 2025

[velvet current]

oh god

[random gyro]

What’s that

[azure topaz]

an nvme slot

[dark tiger]

im making 64gb swap now

because why not

[random gyro]

The white?

[azure topaz]

how big of drive you want? 1tb?

[azure topaz]

right next to it but youll see it in person if you look under ur gpu with ur flashlight on

[random gyro]

I have 1TB rn it’s too little

[azure topaz]

well 1tb rn + 1tb again is 2tb

you keep both in the system

[rigid fjord]

if you're going to mess with the swapfile, you need to ensure it runs alogside the ram and not after when the ram fills up

[random gyro]

For the average gamer that holds a lot of games how much

[azure topaz]

8-10 big games each drive

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/f4cG3C/silicon-power-ud90-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-sp02kgbp44ud9005

this one is more like 16-20

big games meaning like 100gb+

[bitter crater]

only 3x CoD per drive 🙁

[rigid fjord]

or 4 call of duty games

[azure topaz]

they made cod small this isnt funny anymore

https://beebom.com/in-a-massive-change-call-of-duty-is-shedding-over-100-gb-in-size-on-ps5/

[dark tiger]

only 3,73 GTA Vi`s

[azure topaz]

gtav is how many gigs? 150?

[left dove]

100

[rigid fjord]

3 ark games

[azure topaz]

yeah ark is huge wont hold u

[bitter crater]

still uses >200gb on my drive

[azure topaz]

well it says on ps5 i doubt they care about pc players

[dark tiger]

i dont even have games i dont know how to ame on linux

[azure topaz]

download steam

[midnight meteor]

Pretty sure it's the exact same, just some anticheats won't let you play the game is the only difference

[random gyro]

ya so whats a good 2TB nvme

[azure topaz]

the one i sent

[azure topaz]

what pm

[random gyro]

how new/fast to the current market

decent?

[azure topaz]

ill explain this rn

[random gyro]

lol

[azure topaz]

drives dont super matter for day to day usage past the interface and a few basic req, for the most part. an nvme drive is an nvme drive, you probably wont notice huge differences between that and another one

you will notice the differences in the protocol, so like sata vs nvme

where nvme is magnitudes faster

[atomic fog]

@azure topaz can you maybe cheap out a little bit on the gpu? Max im spending is 300€ not 350 coz im broke asf https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/RVpz4p

[azure topaz]

but it doesnt really matter which one as long as its nvme

[azure topaz]

just skip the aio for now brother

we'll swap to a cheaper cooler and call it good

if/when you upgrade ur cpu get ur aio too

[atomic fog]

The pc case i bought has ass cooling coz i specifically wanted a double sided window pc

Basically a cornered window

[azure topaz]

itll be chill

[atomic fog]

Also instead of buying the tiny ssds cant i just buy a sata ssd? Theyre fairly cheaper with the same tb but speed wise?

[azure topaz]

u have lower power parts

sata SSDs are not cheaper sorry dawg

cheapest sata drives in germany

cheapest nvme

this is why theres no point to buy sata today

NVME drives are faster

[dark tiger]

i have sata hdd. runs fnie

[random gyro]

i don't have to take out the gpu for that slot right

the one you showed me at least

[azure topaz]

shouldnt nah as long as you can get your grubby lil hands in there to slot it in

[random gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-steve-carell-michael-scott-thats-what-she-said-gif-20446601

[random gyro]

alr ima see if i can get the ssd soon, i need more storage lmao

[atomic fog]

https://amzn.eu/d/2MEvtri 6gb/s the nvme you sent me is 5gb/s

[azure topaz]

6gb/s is different than 5GB/s

6gb/s isnt even 1 gigabyte

[atomic fog]

???

[azure topaz]

😭 oh man

[atomic fog]

gb and GB is different?

[azure topaz]

the little b in "Gb" means gigabit

[atomic fog]

Oh

[azure topaz]

gigabytes (the big b) are 8 times the size of a gigabit

[atomic fog]

No wonder its ass lol

[atomic fog]

Ye i understand that lol

[azure topaz]

pickin up what im throwin down for them being the same price lol

[atomic fog]

I did not see the small B lol

[azure topaz]

lol

[atomic fog]

Well i bought the case and soon itll be the psu so i can already sort a bit of cable

[dark tiger]

Wow so my room has 1.2 Gigabytes of internet speed

on the router, i cant actually use it

[tulip sparrow]

No wonder nvidia have basially killed their "Gaming" route when they can charge as much as a bloody sadan for a single AI based GPU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNumJwHpXIA

[azure topaz]

yeah so skip out on the aio and buy a cheaper air cooler for now

[atomic fog]

Also stupid question but can i rock with a gtx 960 on that motherboard for a little while?

[azure topaz]

yeah

[atomic fog]

Aio is water cooler right?

[azure topaz]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/MFvD4D/id-cooling-frozn-a620-pro-se-58-cfm-cpu-cooler-frozn-a620-pro-se

[azure topaz]

yeah

[atomic fog]

Got one laying around it might be the worst gpu in the world but it works ig

[azure topaz]

lol

works for now. esp sinc ethe 7500F has no igpu

if you have a decent used market you can maybe get a used gpu

youll probably get better for your money

like an RX 6700XT or something, slower, but like 100$ cheaper

[atomic fog]

Also got one of these

[azure topaz]

thatll work if you want to just wait so you can buy only the aio

[midnight meteor]

You can also probs finds RX 6800s or 6800 xts for a good price

[azure topaz]

itll be hot and annoying and loud but it will work if you want to wait

[atomic fog]

Yeah no hell nah i hate used parts especially electric stuff

[azure topaz]

fair enough

[atomic fog]

Js temporary so i can buy a aio

[azure topaz]

works

[atomic fog]

Same with the 950 so my brother can get me a gpu

[random gyro]

i have a radeon rx 9060 XT

[atomic fog]

Yeah and i have a gtx 950

In the basement

[cold skiff]

How much is it

[random gyro]

mine 16gb tho 😭

[tulip sparrow]

$30k

[atomic fog]

Mine is in shaa allah atleast 1gb

[random gyro]

@azure topaz

[ocean axle]

that seems low

[cold skiff]

Atleast when it’s sold to China you Americans get a few thousand of it then

[azure topaz]

yea

[cold skiff]

Like what 4500?

[random gyro]

lol

[atomic fog]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-950.c2747

I got 2 hell yeah

[cold skiff]

Trump should just swap the deal for 5090s

Hand them out like sweets to the American public and businesses

[atomic fog]

Germany should stop taxing us so bad

[random gyro]

lol

[cold skiff]

Don’t diss Germany

[atomic fog]

Otherwise im becoming the next unabomber

[cold skiff]

You do a lot right

[random gyro]

have been since 1945

[atomic fog]

I will diss germany today, yesterday and tommorow and everyday

[cold skiff]

Come to the UK

See how to really fuck it up

[random gyro]

hell nah it's horrible over there

[atomic fog]

Quality of life may be better than other countries but the taxes here are imbecilic

[atomic fog]

Nah no thank i cant drive 250 on the autobahn

[random gyro]

just get a hypercar

[atomic fog]

But i can legally drive a 70cc scooter ❤️

[random gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-my-god-omg-oh-god-geez-oh-geez-gif-9152330640217079518

[cold skiff]

You mean you drive 160

[atomic fog]

What

[random gyro]

a scooter in 2025

[cold skiff]

No way you have a car that does 250mph

[atomic fog]

What do you have

[random gyro]

2010 Kia Forte SX

[atomic fog]

Kia in 2025

[random gyro]

nice car

[cold skiff]

That 7 year warranty

[random gyro]

... you were gonna say that no matter what

[cold skiff]

What you drive that does 250mph then chief?

[atomic fog]

Man kia is a trash car company

There are better things than a kia

[random gyro]

lo

[random gyro]

well yea i want a mustang lmao

[atomic fog]

But u cant diss a scooter bro its fun asf

[ocean axle]

250 on the autobahn
thats 250kph, 155mph

[cold skiff]

I know. He said kmh to look a big man and now says nothing. Talking about his scooter. lol.

[random gyro]

smh lol

[atomic fog]

Gng im 15 u expect me to drive a car

Im alr doing my license and im buying a car on my 16th bday

[random gyro]

cars > bikes

[atomic fog]

Debatable

[cold skiff]

Hasn’t even got a proper bike smh

[atomic fog]

Ok cool what do you drive then

[random gyro]

smart car

[atomic fog]

Crazy

[left dove]

😂

[cold skiff]

A Mondeo. Gotta have a family car for work and well… the family

[atomic fog]

Well thats nice a mondeo is pretty nice

[cold skiff]

The best fact here is we can drive cars. You can’t… and then go all “I can go 250 on an autobahn” though

It’s okay. I need bigger tbh

[atomic fog]

I can drive 250, question is with what

[cold skiff]

Need depth not length

[atomic fog]

My scooter goes 125-130

[cold skiff]

LOL

[atomic fog]

Which is tbf pretty good for a 70cc

[cold skiff]

You aren’t seriously going down this route

[silk merlin]

I wish scooters were more utilized in the US. I mean, I get that the big roads and giant cars make them somewhat impractical, but scooters are defintely fun and very accessible.

[random gyro]

we promoting scooters 😭

[atomic fog]

Thats all im doing im not doing more tuning to it like fr

[cold skiff]

That scooter taking longer to get to 75mph than it takes me to walk 5 miles on foot 😂

[atomic fog]

I can spend 1k more and get 10 kmh more its not worth it

[cold skiff]

I work with a guy that loves scooters and does them up etc don’t get me wrong a Vespa is cool

But driving one is the equivalent to being a baby in the motoring world

[atomic fog]

I mean its all taste and everything

[cold skiff]

Driving a Vespa in Italy though. That’s peak style. I will give that one to scooter lovers

[silk merlin]

They are. When I studied in Italy way back in the day, I really fell in love with the Vespa.

[silk merlin]

Indeed it is.

[atomic fog]

But tbf a vespa is elite ball knowledge in 2 stroke tuning mostly you have random supermotos that all look the same or cheaply made scooters

[cold skiff]

Like we have a club every year here that being over 100 Vespas and like 300 scooters to a show

No one goes for anything but the vespa

[atomic fog]

Aerox is basically the top tier of scooters you can get 10-35whp quite easy from the range of spending 500-5000

[silk merlin]

The Honda Ruckus is dope, tho

[atomic fog]

But trust me try a scooter theyre so fun you rlly cant hate on it

Especially one thats tuned, can also just be the cheapest tuning

[distant frigate]

Man I love this thing

The fly killer

[atomic fog]

This one is so nice

[silk merlin]

My dog chases and eats any flies that get in our house, so I don't need one of those. LOL

[atomic fog]

Flies carry diseases so hopefully you dont live in a dirty country

[tulip sparrow]

This $30k GPU is the older model and NOT even Blackwell

[ebon marlin]

Love my new wallpaper sm

[ocean axle]

yes, i can read the H

[silk merlin]

nah. We have the cleanest flies in the world where I live.

[distant frigate]

Maybe I’m psychopathic but I love watching flies burn

[atomic fog]

Iceland or what?

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure the Blackwell models are even more expensive then the old H

[atomic fog]

Maybe im psychopathic but i use these traps and then let them starve

[silk merlin]

no. US. So maybe not the cleanest, butdogs have strong stomachs for bugs.

[tulip sparrow]

So yeah makes sense why that model is only $30k LOL

[silk merlin]

I mean, it's not like it's his main food supply.

[brave brook]

great day for Cisco admins /s https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/09/as-many-as-2-million-cisco-devices-affected-by-actively-exploited-0-day/

[atomic fog]

Well thats obvious lol

[silk merlin]

All you have to do is see the movie, The Fly, and that is enough to want to turn anyone into a fly murderer

[atomic fog]

But tbh usa isnt really that clean like maybe the streets are clean but the garbage disposal is messed up there

If you can throw whatever you want into the trash or sewers there must be alot of pollution

In germany you get fined for putting plastic in the food bin

[silk merlin]

it depends on the area, for sure.
Overall garbage disposal has gotten much better.

But you CANNOT throw what you want into the sewers. And if you are caught throwing certain things (like motor oil) into the trash there are hefty fines.

Plastics and baby diapers are primary issues with US trash.
Recycling plastics has been decent, but it is driven very much by varying levels of infrastructure.

[abstract wigeon]

anyone got experience with modrinth on linux

[silk merlin]

Honestly, the biggest trash issue in the US is just how much people waste and consume. We generate SO much trash. The most important fix we can make here is to simply produce less trash.

[misty path]

looking to buy a new monitor, should I value 4k, size or oled more?

currently between 3 main options, 27" 4k, 32" 1440p, 27" 1440p Oled

All roughly similar in price

[silk merlin]

that is for Minecraft mods, right?

[abstract wigeon]

sure is

[brave brook]

i would instantly rule out 27" 4k if you want to use that monitor for text too; you will usually need to have 150% scaling enabled

[silk merlin]

Honestly, depends on your needs, but 32" 1440p has been the sweet spot for me.

[misty path]

Oh? A bunch of people said it's lovely for text, video and gaming?

[ebon marlin]

hmm I wonder if I get a watercooled gpu what happens if the aio just dies how fucked would I be

[brave brook]

24" 1080p, 27" 1440p, 32" 4k imo.

[silk merlin]

depends on the quality of your eyesight, I suppose. 😂

[rigid fjord]

many air coolers and aio's use the original backplate on amd mobo's

[rigid fjord]

sapphire toxic?

also, not as fucked as you'd think

[silk merlin]

I have not used it personally, but I do recall it maybe being mentioned in the #linux channel. You might want to ask there is you haven't already

[misty path]

So you'd say 1440p 27" oled

[ebon marlin]

mhm

but I'd need to change cases lmao

h5 flow supports upto 280mm

although have been wanting to change cases for a while now

h5 flow so ugly

011 mini for 50€ great deal but SFX psu only

[tulip sparrow]

Oh Apple https://www.androidauthority.com/apple-iphone-17-pro-scratchgate-explanation-3601154/

Noice i just fixed my phone.... screen broke repair shop asked 140 i did it whit 50 whit battery new speaker and volume buttons too original

[ebon marlin]

@rigid fjord Sapphire Toxic or Red Devil 6900xt hmm

[rigid fjord]

whichever is the cheaper of the 2, both should be using the xtxh die allowing to OC even higher to 6950xt or better performance

[ebon marlin]

I don't even overclock or plan on overing the clock

[brave brook]

not having to pay for any mistakes or breaches of regulations

[ebon marlin]

I need to poop

[cold skiff]

Fucked.

[ebon marlin]

Will think about it on the porcelain throne

Will probably do a full system rework when I move out

New case, am5, 6900xt/6950xt upgrade over 6800xt

Maybe even upgrade to tandem oled from my basic oled

[random gyro]

i don't need an oled monitor lol

[ebon marlin]

Oled is life changing

[random gyro]

only on phones

monitor 1080p is just enough

i have a 180hz and its fire

[ebon marlin]

I'm on 1440p 240hz

Tandem oled will bring me to 280hz

[ebon marlin]

Especially glossy qd-oled

Glossy QD-OLED is so damn beautiful

Everything looks so good

[pastel bobcat]

why not a 5090

[ebon marlin]

Don't need it

[pastel bobcat]

buy a 5090 😀

you can play roblox with it 😀

[ebon marlin]

I'm already fine on a 6800xt but 6900xt/6950xt go for similar price as 6800xt so why not

[pastel bobcat]

5090 needed

[ebon marlin]

I'm taking a shit rn

Cooked?

[strange atlas]

Somebody please help me can i sother an iron with iron soldering tool? i dont have welder and i really need it right now

car is cooked

[icy fossil]

My logitech gpw mouse has (very) high input latency when using the cable, even after resetting the settings and uninstalling g hub. Does anyone else have the same issue?

[odd marsh]

wdym by iron

[strange atlas]

like the one i use on tech parts

can i use this to weld something on the car it doesnt have to be too too strong

[odd marsh]

Maybe? but I think it would just be super super weak

[strange atlas]

but gotta hold it in

[strange atlas]

weaker then plastic?

[azure topaz]

probably

[odd marsh]

feel like duct tape would be a safer bet

[strange atlas]

it gets too much heat probably thats why plastic clamps explodes

[odd marsh]

but idk what you are trying to fix

[azure topaz]

to solder something you need to heat both the solder and the point youre soldering to to very hot

[strange atlas]

i need to make weld my clamp together but dont have welder right now

any other way?

[azure topaz]

if its a big piece of metal or really not that big at all cause thats probably like a 50w iron idk

[strange atlas]

its really thin and like 2 cm height thing

[azure topaz]

idk send it worst case is that it doesnt work ig

if whateve r it is has fallen off multiple times already how bad could it be if it does again

[strange atlas]

one of these

[strange atlas]

you are right thank you

it probably gonna take a lot of time though

[azure topaz]

yeah be slow

idek how to like proceed form here

MIT engineers created a new magnetic transistor that can both switch current and store data, something regular silicon transistors can’t do.

They used a special magnetic semiconductor instead of silicon, which means the transistor can keep information even when

What's wrong with having iGPU

[robust trail]

iGPU is great

[green swift]

get a different cpu then

[robust trail]

good for offloading small compute workloads, like video transcoding or something along those lines

[plain cypress]

I get salty when prebuilts save the $10 to get an F sku

[pastel bobcat]

bruh

[robust trail]

Why wouldn't you want an iGPU in an expensive proc?

good for the debugs

[rigid fjord]

use pcpp and on the power supply section, use the sfx box and go by price, you can always use the spl tier list to check against

[pastel bobcat]

and so many 5500

and 3050 🥲

[plain cypress]

5500 is trash

[robust trail]

I wish my TR had an iGPU 🙁

wait.. does it?

[pastel bobcat]

Is the 5600 just as bad

as the 5500

[rigid fjord]

no, it's better

5500 performs like an r5 3600 but with half the cache and gen 3 pice only

How so?

[robust trail]

I have two OLED displays that I use for work and they sit with static images for long periods of time. Pixels shift every so often to keep the life of the panel as long as possible

Also you should have bought Intel at $18 not at $30+

you can search techpowerup for the cards and see which cards use the same dies

I didnt know lol

Well if Mark would give me his R1T I could sell it

Come on mark

The two contenders are:

Alienware AW2725D | 27" 1440p OLED

well, I mean I know things but not anything that would effect the stock price

[robust trail]

lol no a radar is wonking out

[plain cypress]

Also the outlet isn't securely attached in the middle row

[gloomy sleet]

i’d honestly prefer if more cars just had an outlet in the centre console instead of usb ports

[plain cypress]

Lane keep assist only works on sanctioned roads???

[robust trail]

Also uhh. Mine is a tri motor. That's a dual. Bleh

[gloomy sleet]

lane assist is stupid

[plain cypress]

I'm convinced the tri motor is going away

[daring crystal]

Once Rivian gets FSD I am 100% buying one

[gloomy sleet]

i tried it on a friends new car on some country roads and i almost died

[robust trail]

It works on all roads, Drive + whatever doesn't

[daring crystal]

I like the blue Rivians

[plain cypress]

Dual for cheap, quad for fun

[robust trail]

Me too, my R1S Blue one is gonzo

[gloomy sleet]

it was trying to go 60mph down the country lane

[plain cypress]

My roommate said there was "only 1 mode" and it only works on the sanctioned roads

But maybe he's an idiot

[robust trail]

Your roomate is incorrect

[pastel bobcat]

Apparently its similar to RX7600

[robust trail]

All of the driver saftey things work on all roads, only automated driving works on highways that are mapped, hands-free on most of those. Wider coverage coming.

[robust trail]

You were not driving a rivian

[gloomy sleet]

most modern cars attempt to go the speed limit

[gloomy sleet]

i have driven a rivian before

same issue

[robust trail]

in the EU?

[gloomy sleet]

no?

[robust trail]

Ah, was going to say.. you would be nuts to import one

[plain cypress]

Oh and the Qi pads are too small for modern phones

[gloomy sleet]

modern cars attempt to drive to the speed limit

[robust trail]

I don't get why people complain about the wireless charging pad. It works fine for me

[plain cypress]

It's just finicky

[robust trail]

Then again I don't drive aggressively so my shit isn't flying around

[gloomy sleet]

but this only really works on wide american roads in a country lane technically the speed limit would be 60mph but going 60mph is incredibly dangerous

[plain cypress]

I have to have my phone backwards with the case off to get qi to work

[gloomy sleet]

i just plug my shit in before i start driving

[robust trail]

Weird, I dunno. I have had two Gen2 Rivians, both... no problems.

[plain cypress]

I suspect they didn't design it for phablet users with cases

[robust trail]

I mean it isn't the fastest.. thats for sure

[gloomy sleet]

wireless chargers in general don’t really make sense to me in any context

[plain cypress]

My biggest complaint is the USB c ports

[robust trail]

I think they just output what they output

[gloomy sleet]

why would i choose to use the significantly less efficient method of charging my phone that also heats it up more

[plain cypress]

They should be 100W PD 😔

[robust trail]

I think I get 20w out of them

ah.. well I dunno. lol I'm not trying to charge stuff off from my car that often

[plain cypress]

I was getting less

[gloomy sleet]

i don’t even think i have a device that can use over 15w

[plain cypress]

I tried to charge my MacBook air and the car couldn't do it

But my pixel could

[gloomy sleet]

excluding a laptop

[robust trail]

Which ports?

[plain cypress]

Front and middle row

[robust trail]

I don't think the front USB ports are made for power, they're there to run a storage device like an SSD

the first row... the middle ones I get I think 20w

the ones on the headrest I duno, never used them. They're weird

[plain cypress]

I've seen forum posts saying the firmware is pretty buggy on the USB C so I've chalked it up to that as the issue

If it is truly a firmware issue, well, maybe they can fix it

[robust trail]

lol rivian fix something?

[pastel bobcat]

Is the 5700X3D as good or close to as good as the other X3D?

[gloomy sleet]

this is why i’d just prefer a plug socket in my car

[plain cypress]

The AC outlet is pretty inefficient

Direct DC from USB ports is much more efficient than running AC outlet inverter

[robust trail]

Rivian? Fix something?

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

[gloomy sleet]

i mean sure but at least you have the option of using something else other than a usb port

[quasi junco]

I have a Ryzen 5 5500 and an RTX 4060 but I have a 1440p 200hz monitor and want to play 1440p high settings on any game what should I upgrade?

I need grown up tech people 💔

[gloomy sleet]

These are my favorite vehicles. No other EV crushes offroading like these do

Did some more research, seems mini-led achieves 99% what OLED does without the burn in. Any thoughts?

[robust trail]

Great displays! I honestly wouldn't worry about OLED these days

[misty path]

Idk, I keep reading about them where people say it's fine but then a lot also saying after a couple years its noticable

[alpine blaze]

depends on the specific display, but it can, but most miniled monitors are either the same price range as oled or not much better than a traditional lcd

[swift stream]

has the new windows update caused false ssd measurements? for some reason my ssd was at 1.23TB and dropped all the way down go 1.13TB

[robust trail]

Yeah but thats because they have panels that are a couple years old 😛

So they are running older tech overall

[alpine blaze]

Well now I feel attacked and have to upgrade my monitor

[robust trail]

But are you burning in?

[alpine blaze]

I haven't seen any burn in, then again I upgrade screens so often I never see burn in

[robust trail]

My TV hasn't burnt in and my wife likes to leave that shit on static images for hours

[alpine blaze]

I guess my 83 A90J is pretty old, and it has no burn in

[robust trail]

because she insane

I was doubeful of OLED as well at first. But even after a year of a macos application bar at the bottom of the display... not even a tiny amount of burn in

[open jewel]

does a powersupplies... power it supplies... degrade over time?

[robust trail]

it does

[alpine blaze]

Yeah, I won't buy a display that's not oled now, the picture quality on miniled is decently close, but the response time is not

[robust trail]

Like 10% a year for a few years and then it flatlines

probably less these days but worst is 10% a year

PSUs are overbuilt to help compensate

[open jewel]

ok.. that's tracking... is there some way to test how much is coming out? like with a multimeter?

[robust trail]

You would need to put it on a tester that will cause power draw

If you have an 800w PSU... a quality modern one... you likely not see much loss

I would dig into it but in the past, because I'm old as hell, we used to see 10%ish a year

[dapper light]

If your PC isn't experiencing any slow downs from lack of power it's probably good

[robust trail]

yeah it isn't like it loses the power from peak it is that it cant sustain it

[dapper light]

If it reaches that point either your PSU is shit from the start or you're pushing it from the get go

[robust trail]

the caps start to wear

[dapper light]

I think i got a solid 150w of headroom

My 2x8pin 3090 sips power

For a 3090

350w is still a shit ton for a gpu tbh

[alpine blaze]

I have one with 1000w and one with 1200w

[open jewel]

don't have that... 250 watt supply... at least 12 years old.. will boot with the sdd and 1 or 2 2.5hdds. will not boot with sdd and 1 3.5hdd (drives are fine). it's running fine with the sdd and two 3.5 hdds 24/7 for years. (media server).

[robust trail]

Yeah, almost all modern PSUs can deliver a lot more power than they are labled for. Overprovisioning to deal with wear

[open jewel]

doesn't seem to be shorts...so I'm guessing it's degraded

[robust trail]

that PSU is probably needing to be replaced

12 years and 250w is probably only able to push 180w today

[open jewel]

logical diadnosis?

[robust trail]

Oh shit yeah, 24/7? Its probably time lol

[open jewel]

like it was fine yesturday......first time using it in months. (it'd been on though)... and then just..didn't

[robust trail]

thats how it happens

[open jewel]

I'm guessing the actual usage pushed it over the edge?

[empty quartz]

@robust trail rate this cpu mt score on r23

[robust trail]

If it is running 24/7 the sustained wattage will likely stay high but then when those caps get drained they immediately hork

[robust trail]

Efficiency

[misty path]

Reason why im worried is I mainly play ff14 so theres a lot of static elements on my screen

[robust trail]

I play a lot of games with static stuff and work on the same monitors this sits at the bottom every day for 8-12 hours. No burn in 🙂

[misty path]

How long have you had your current one for?

Thing is I dont wanna spend that much then want to get a new one in 2-3 years

[open jewel]

apparently on chairs this part can explode my chair got broken i wonder if i get another pipe and use it with this would it explode?

it doesnt hold my weight by the way i'm using child chair so thats why i'm even more not sure if it will explode since its rated for less weight

[ebon marlin]

ni hao

[strange atlas]

this part got broken i can get a new thing but also not sure if i take it out without exploding

[steel umbra]

just don’t exceed what the gas cylinder is rated for

[strange atlas]

how can i know that how do i check it

[tulip sparrow]

YEah go beat your chest somewhere else Google https://www.androidauthority.com/google-wants-reset-eu-digital-markets-act-3601386/

[steel umbra]

that’s the hard part

look what the manufacturer rates the chair for

[strange atlas]

cause its most likely rated for like 60 kg or something

is it bad that i was using it

its childs chair that i was using for a long long time

one of these

its only rated for babies and kids

[steel umbra]

yeah, get a new chair

[strange atlas]

apparently its for 61kg

[steel umbra]

unless you find your model of gas cylinder and it’s specs

[strange atlas]

but i havent exploded yet am i lucky or what :d

[tawny lava]

Is this ram good i got it free with my motherboard

[steel umbra]

it probably won’t explode if you overload it but, probably not good for it

[steel umbra]

no

[strange atlas]

good to know cause apparently when it explodes its a bomb it can kill you

[tawny lava]

Does anybody know

[steel umbra]

for the cylinder to explode you would need to like temporary load it with like 400kg+

[strange atlas]

kinda got scared too cause of that

[steel umbra]

it rarely happens

[strange atlas]

is this bare minimum thank you for the information

[strange atlas]

but when you think of how much above i'm sitting at risks are getting higher i believe

[steel umbra]

don’t jump on the chair

[strange atlas]

i wont but sometimes happens its life

probaly thats why it broke

broke like this :d

[high halo]

What about opera gx?

[ebon marlin]

Same thing

[strange atlas]

i hate opera

[steel umbra]

chromium in disguise

[strange atlas]

everything about it its awful

[steel umbra]

i angy

i use startpage

works what can i say

[strange atlas]

i like google its really nice for me

[steel umbra]

i hate google cuz what they’re doing to android

[strange atlas]

what are they doing to android

i still use android 8 i dont know

[steel umbra]

restricting sideloading

apk files will have to be verified

[strange atlas]

no way that is true

[steel umbra]

it is

[strange atlas]

i dont want to believe that

like how can i backup my apps if they do that

dumbest thing i have seen so far

[steel umbra]

just don’t “upgrade” to the newer versions

[strange atlas]

i cant anyways happy about that

max i can do is android 8

[empty quartz]

[strange atlas]

[steel umbra]

they already give you a 10 second full screen warning before downloading outside playstore

[ebon marlin]

You die

[strange atlas]

mine asks if i want to install i just press yes thats all 😳

[plain cypress]

I'll be honest I don't think I've ever sideloaded outside of development situations

[strange atlas]

%100?

[steel umbra]

you gotta sign into google to use playstore

[strange atlas]

development + backups

i backup apps in apk form

[plain cypress]

I suppose backups could be useful

But my apps are generally from large enough companies that I'm not worried about disappearing from the play store

[strange atlas]

things like auth apps are usefull to backup to be honest

cause most of them when you delete its gone

[plain cypress]

Backup the APK or backup the data

[strange atlas]

apk backup it backs the files also not sure why

probably cause of the app i use its called backup apk or something

[steel umbra]

[serene pumice]

Meh, Ublock Origin still works for Chrome, I'll switch when they actualy manage to disable it working

[dreamy aspen]

i'm positively surprised

[steel umbra]

i want morr privacy

i don wan googlium to kollect 99999 information about me only to breach it to some stupido hacker >:

[plain cypress]

I'll take them googlium

[serene pumice]

If you run a keylogger on your own PC, it's like having a diary

[high halo]

Then use duckduck go

[high halo]

I prefer googalium

[plain cypress]

Sounds....oniony

[high halo]

No, like elements like lithium, uranium, californium

And yes californium is a real element

[plain cypress]

Damn I thought this was a botany pun

[high halo]

Also ive always wondered, why are they called search engines? Like why not search websites liek this is google not a car

[plain cypress]

Pretty sure lithium is a country in Easter Europe

[high halo]

Unless if the servers are powered by an actual engine

Then id say the name is pretty accurate

[plain cypress]

I feel like there is some tool you could use to learn the answer to your inquiry

[high halo]

Its ur username, its discord

[steel umbra]

also not the most ideal

[high halo]

Or opposite

[high halo]

Whats wrong with it?

[steel umbra]

they have been caught collecting more data than listed in their ToS

[high halo]

It certainly has more privacy

[steel umbra]

shady stuff

[high halo]

Oh nvm

Ig just stick to google

Or bing or meticulously program a search engine from scratch

[plain cypress]

I've given up on privacy
Google knows more about me than I do

[high halo]

Thats impossible

How does a mere company know more about u than urself?

[high halo]

Like what doe Google know about u that u dont know?

[idle spear]

No I was installing reunion 7 and it makes you wipe your ssd and my only other computer has Ubuntu and I can’t for the life of me get a iso burned

[steel umbra]

[idle spear]

Oh and the reunion 7 iso failed

[idle spear]

Goodbye fly

Deadly electric fly racket

I got a good amount today

[steel umbra]

you didn’t give the fly even a chance

[distant frigate]

lol

[steel umbra]

also, don’t spray mosquitos with repellent at a close range

the chemicals will literally make the mosquito lose all of it’s limbs and wings

[distant frigate]

I hit a fly with it and it was spinning like crazy

I ultimately ended it though

[steel umbra]

i just release them

only bugs that i don’t are female mosquitos and wasps

[distant frigate]

Makes sense

[gleaming rose]

gonna see the stone temple pilots live tomorrow

[latent gull]

Na mosquitos can fuck off

[ebon marlin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXcsDHcrzXY

bruh 😭

[steel umbra]

naww it’s too much even for mosquitos

i once hend a mosquito in hand, sprayed it with repellent and it just… basicly melted

[ebon marlin]

any way to force a software with this pop up to run?

[mild wharf]

looking for some phone advice, currently i have an iphone 15 pro i have had iphones since the iphone 4. i currently have the whole apple eco system. minus an apple desktop, the homepod, and the tv box. I am due for a phone upgrade i'm torn between the 17 pro/pro max, s25 ultra or the pixel 10 pro xl. any advice is welcome

[grizzled frost]

you very much are not "due for an upgrade"

[distant frigate]

I hate misquotes

The winter is the best because of no bugs

[barren mulch]

i used an iphone 5c for a whole year before getting my moto g54 5g so you will be fine

[steel umbra]

eat them like birbs 🐦

[ebon marlin]

Samsung and Google are pretty ass with Samsung you're only paying for the name and with Google you're paying for the AI features

[grizzled frost]

fall is best, not too cold, not too hot, little pollen, no bugs

[ebon marlin]

I'd look into other phone brands

[barren mulch]

and because more comfy and cool clothes

[distant frigate]

Also can’t forget about this

[steel umbra]

samsung’s bootloading kinda sucks

[distant frigate]

Snow is obviously the best

[grizzled frost]

i don't get snow here, so that's not a plus

[distant frigate]

I took this February 9, 2025

[steel umbra]

we’re getting less and less snowy here :c

[distant frigate]

It’s so fucking quiet at night with heavy snow. It’s surreal

[grizzled frost]

time to move to canada so i can see snow again

[mild wharf]

the one thing i hate about winter is dry skin

[grizzled frost]

literally just environmental sound deadening

[distant frigate]

12/16/2020 at midnight

Snow making the nights seem brighter

Clouds help too

[steel umbra]

enough to do mortar shelling with snowballs but not quite for snow sleds

here

[steel umbra]

i recommend antarctica

[grizzled frost]

it doesn't snow much in antarctica

[steel umbra]

so the next 10 generations will 100% have snow

[distant frigate]

The most amount of snow I’ve ever gotten in a snowstorm is 20-22 inches

It’s a lot. Up to my knees

16-18+ inches of snow from the blizzard of 2022

[grizzled frost]

currently triangulating your current position

i'll send you some ginseng tea

[steel umbra]

i want to buy your snow

[distant frigate]

Blizzards are insane lmao. Snow blowing everywhere. Zero mile visibility sometimes

[grizzled frost]

it was pouring down rain earlier and you could barely see 3 inches infront of your face

[distant frigate]

Also the temperature was 17F so the wind felt brutal

[supple tide]

[stark kiln]

Day by day my birthdays in October closer!

[grizzled frost]

[supple tide]

What does the red symbol in the top right mean??? Apple Watch S10

[open jewel]

I have 2 drives I want to power... they seem to need less than 1300mA to power them... I have an unsed power brick that ends in molex which is listed at 1500mA. ... and the molex to 2 SATA power cable exists.... is there any reason this wouldn't work the way I think it would?
