no.
My subwoofer does not have that port
looks like the antenna? the white thing
It only has line in and level connections
That would be a Sata cable
This is tweaker-level audio, I'm out
At least the one on the left anyway
It's acoustic research subwoofer tho
Ok, let me install the motherboard real quick atleast anttempt. I'll brb @left dove
You're running jank audio beyond my comprehension, nope
Which are used for mounting the mobo 😭
is that all of the screws? not the ones on the left, those fat ones are for fans
Generally those ones
Ty
Not the self tapping ones or really long ones or ones you can undo with your thumb. By that process of elimination it should be pretty obvious
wassup tc1
Honestly after building enough PCs it’s kinda instinct atp, but just the fever ones thread properly
PC building apparently
fun, mine was prebuilt\
yeah #1 rule is make sure it fits before you screw anything in :p
Why does it feel like I'm striping them???
Honestly starting with a prebuilt isn’t a bad idea
ayo?
That I can’t tell you. If it isn’t that specific screw find whichever will thread properly
that does look a little weird
probably under cable
wait that looks like the wrong one circled
i was thinking it would be one of the small circle-head ones on the right box

Holy this ram kit is horrid I tried 1.37 volts at 2933 gear 2 still crashes its rated for 3200 😭
interesting
Ok after the most scary shit ever it's installed
And I bet it's broke
It's 2 and 4
Ok
@left dove just need to hook up all the cables!!
Have you ever like. Held the flashlight for someone handy with tools before?
Nvm too direct
yes, but i refuse to have anyone do that for me
I'm sorry
headlamps exist, and you can get gloves with a torch built in
say it, i dare you
YOU ALREADY KNOW
hi
@left dove 😭🙏
Can somebody help me hook up all my cables to my motherboars and PSU?
damn
Is there a big jump in perf between 2800mhz and 3200 for ram on my i5 11400
simply have stronger rods in your eyes
I'd have to see what you're looking at I guess. There's a 24 pin one that goes to the motherboard, and an 8 pin one that is usually labeled CPU that goes to your CPU. Your GPU can have a couple different combinations depending on the one you have
Also the screw that I circled in the photo should be the one for the mobo. It's got a flattened edge to help hold the motherboard in place, and is generally more finely threaded
Hey guys my girlfriend is buying a laptop and we have narrowed it down to these two. Which of these do yall think will be better:
Buying tech is not my strong suit so any help will be really appreciated
Can you call?
Or do I need to plug in any RGB yet?
Sure I'd be down
Honestly in spec they're very similar, I'd go with whatever appeals aesthetically. The one with the intel core does slightly better in single core
anyone here know the cpu cooler brand upHere?
literally the only cooler i found thats 120mm and fits the lga2011 socket for like 20 bucks
Would it be better to get MacBook Air with 24gb of ram and 512gb ssd or base MacBook Pro
Do you know which brand will generally last longer
Truthfully I think Lenovo is a tad more trust worthy
Gotcha thanks for your help, ill relay this info to her
neither tbh
is this just for work?
she looking for one for school work and job applying essentially
preferably 16gb ram and 1tb ssd
we have been looking like crazy
https://ebay.us/m/9d6cHk
acer recertified with 2 year warranty, has great battery life
for $400 in my opinion it's probably the best for your needs
lunar lake my beloved
anyone here use the mx master 3? how is it? thinking about getting a 2nd hand one
time to retire the g502
its tuff
does anyone notice any performance difference with "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" on or off?
i am running a 9600X and 9060XT 16GB, should I turn it off or leave it on?
im tempted to get lunar lake or wait for panther lake but i just found a zg16 open box for a crazy price
wait for PTL, we get an Intel showcase about it tomorrow I think
my only two issues is no asuck warranty and soldered ram
You won't see PTL or LNL without soldered mem
im fine with it as long as its 32gb+
unfortunately asuck put 16gb on their high end premium 4070M laptop
They are both on par performance-wise and it looks like they are the same price. Go with the Dell as it's touchscreen
What would you think about something like this
https://www.ebay.com/itm/256960845305 I was also sent this one but it is refurbished where the costco one would be new
That CPU is significantly less powerful than the Dell and Lenovo
hmm so youre thinking the dell is better
This CPU is actually the best so far but Acer quality is questionable
for same price you can get a ryzen 7 8745H which is much better
well like they said i think that would depend on if touchscreen is useful/important to you
she turned the touchscreen off her current laptop so no
what exactly is bad about the v15
which model
true but i don't know each model off the top of my head so i can't say anything conclusive anyway
extremely subpar build quality
the aspire is at least somewhat decent
and for $400 it's got lunar lake so
https://www.ebay.com/itm/256960845305 so this is the one she should go with then
I am not a techy 😭
which model
Idk if that's great value for a refurbished. also chek user reviews for that model. as i said, acer doesn't have the best reputation, but it depends on the model
Gotcha im looking through rn

and compare with the Lenovo and Dell you sent in the first place
if there are no significant factors that sway you either way, just go with the cheapest
mainly things like build quality and reliability. we can already tell what it will run like based on the specs, so look for things beyond that
if there are lots of complaints about plasticy or flimsy build quality, stay away
hmmm yeah Ill look for that, she essentially wants to apply for jobs and use figma so something that lasts would be good
thanks for your help
@icy wadi what is the laptop for exactly? that could be good to know
to apply for jobs and use figma
For designing websites^^
She also wants to be able to use like photoshop at some point
ok so at least an i5 or ryzen 5 in that case
and also keep in mind the display quality and resolution. not just the resolution but also the type of display, for photoshop especially
and do you have a specific budget?
She would prefer less than 500
If you could stretch a bit I would look for something with a 1440p good quality display
don't get me wrong, 1080p is fine, but 1440p is definitely a big step up for graphic design type stuff
how much of step up would that be
1440p is definitely worth it if it's also a good quality display overall
hmm honestly i'm not sure as i've never looked into them myself
just something to keep in mind
if your GF has already been doing what she's doing for a while, on a 1080p screen, then it wouldn't hurt to stick with a 1080p screen. but either way 1440p is better, it's just whether it's worth it / whether you can find a good deal
Yeah shes saying she does not want to go over 500, would the dell just be a better option to go with since its got the prime day deal
She hasnt done much at all and is just wanting to get into it
I used to have a hp probook 650 g2 (from like 2016) and the color accuracy was so bad i had to edit photos with an external monitor. moral of the story is you want to make sure the screen is decent, whether it's 1080p or 1440p
@icy wadi and some research tips... even if it feels tedious, you won't regret doing it. keep track of everything you find in a document and make sure it includes all the key information. Use cpubenchmark.net to compare processing power (take note of both single-thread and overall score), i.e. type into google. AMD Ryzen 7 7730U vs i5-13420H and click on the cpubenchmark.net result. Display quality is kinda more important than overall power in your case, just make sure you don't get something with significantly less power than the competition
and also use chatgpt to explain any terms you don't understand
yeah that looks like a good deal
just check reviews
although realistically you don't need more than 165hz
i've never used a high refresh rate monitor but i've seen a lot of people who have used 250+ hz monitors say over 165hz isn't worth it
take this with a grain of salt as i am currently using a 1080p 75hz monitor
I have a 180hz 1440p one, which replaced my 165hz 1080p monitor, It's very hard noticing anything different other than resolution of course
Ill second, pretty huge. 144hz is plenty for most people even but I mostly see 165hz anyway
Anything above is like league level esports territory. Or enthusiast
If you're a CS pro, I mean I guess I could see the value. I'd rather spend more for good color accuracy than on a 240hz monitor or something
on that note, how much do you guys reckon I could overclock my monitor
it's a 75hz philips 241V, or 241V8
i got it for free so...
we're going in strong with a 1hz overclock
like 4hz
custom resolution utility literally just closed on me of its own accord
i think it's trying to warn me
i did 76 hz and it worked, then i went to 78 hz and the monitor just showed an error message
maybe 77hz is the sweet spot
How much difference is there between the 9060XT 16gb and the 7900XT 20gb?
Worth a 300 usd difference?
search 9060xt tpu on google and go to the chart scroll up
So just a quick one whats the best driver updater for windwos 10 that dont lock stuff behind a paywall or just outwright free ?
i have never used a driver updater, wouldn't recommend at all
hm why is there RGB on that side 🤔
Most of them are, yes.
I should know, as I use one. Lol.
or am I stupid
Nono, it is.
2.2 days till my birthday!
I have been using windows since the stone age and i've never used one. what devices do you need to update drivers for specifically?
Why on that side is probably just in anticipation that the person buying it might have a whie motherboard or silver plates on it.
hmm
tbh im not that savy with this stuff so not sure tbh just been advised to check and update drivers like intel cpu stuff i really dont know
definitely do not use a driver updater. they will do more harm than good
update your drivers from the official source of the hardware, eg intel
im not sure what to be looking for tho tbh
and only update your drivers manually if you are experiencing a specific issue. windows updates most drivers automatically
what are your pc specs? cpu, gpu?
and is there a specific concern you have that makes you want to update your drivers
Intel core I7 9700K
RTX 3060XC E3GA
just get GeForce Experience
if you don't have it
got the app
choose clean install and it will update all your GPU drivers. if you already have it, just check the driver versions
you don't need to touch the drivers for anything else (including the CPU) unless there is a specific problem
Help
just to check, you did put in a new CPU right?
Yes
oh ok wont bother then and why is windwos grilling me come to windows 11 na dont wanna 😂
Are you using bitlocker
Idk what that is
yeah don't bother upgrading
I just want windows 11
Go to windows settings and check if its enabled
It's a fresh build
If there's no OS at all then just choose Y to clear tpm
i hear that some games run worse on windows 11 so f that
Ok I clicked that
so have you even installed windows
is windows installed on the ssd/hdd
just press y i think
so fresh hes still got the thermal paste on his finger
wdym, how laggy
no gpu drivers laggy
do you have the product key
what da heck
rub wit love
Like bad it's like terrible
i don't think that's really true, but they also don't run better
so..
Expected for it to be pretty stuttery but it should be usable
i mean it's usually way slower than the actual OS but it's not unusably slow
maybe i mean is there any actualy good ressons not to update really coz there are so many claims
Look here
as long as you get extended security updates, which i think you can get for free (just look up how to), then no
yea i did opt in today
that's completely normal
Ok I got past that and now I am having a issue where it's saying at 1TB m.2 isn't enough storage for an install
your system isn't detecting the 1tb drive
and don't touch disc 1, that is your installer usb
Ye
yes or make sure the drive is connected properly
Uhhhhh
It's a m.2 and it's in the slot 💀😭
It did this on my last PC to
But we fixed it but I don't remember how it's a team group 1 tb
where did you order the ssd from lol
Amazon
how much
Let me look
you can also click refresh at the top of that page to see if it shows up
70 bucks
otherwise reboot, if still no, then double check the drive
seems legit
yeah it seems to be detecting a "disk 0" but only with 250 mb space which is weird
Bro 😭🙏
it should show all partitions or empty space of the drive, totalling its entire capcity of 1tb, but it's obviously not...
do you have any spare m.2 drives you can use to test in the motherboard?
No 👎
Not looking good https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/s/Enn8ExQvHz
the drive could be defective
It’s Amazon, returns/refunds/exchanging for a new one is easy
lol long but fat card 
And most likely free
if you have another PC or laptop to test the drive in, do that (if windows is installed, you can use Disk Management). if it's the same problem then reuturn it. this is to isolate the problem from your motherboard
Bro but my last one did this exact same thing that did it but we found a way to fix it
I don't remember what we did though 😭😭😭
try creating a linux usb to test it
I don't want Linux tho
Ok what do I do
i won't go through the whole process with you but basically
- download linux .iso file (say linux mint)
- Download Rufus bootable media creator
- use a spare usb drive to create the bootable media with rufus
- put the usb drive in your computer's motherboard
- make sure the computer boots from the usb drive (depends on motherboard)
then go through the intstallation process until you get to the part about disk allocation
Hey, it works and even fits in my tiny case too.
Yep if it works I ain’t complaining
Oof
interesting
I mean you can always just return the drive, but it were me, I would want to make sure it's actually defective
ideally you should test it in another computer
i would test it with linux because it wouldn't take me long, but if you've never done it before it might not be a good use of your time, to be honest
Alright I'll come back tmrw with a update
if it doesn't show up with windows, it probably won't show up in linux
that's why you should test it in another pc
any pc or laptop in your household with an m.2 slot works. even if it's being used, as long as it has a free slot
Advantages of having a 5K monitor
Your mortal HDD struggles to run ONE install of windows mine runs 29 without issue
who says they have a hard srive
i just spent
4 hours swapping cases and installing a new AIO
ignore cable management for now this is my post test
best linus freezeframe
That tech tipping really got him rolling the eyes
he's teching it!
Linus teching that tip he is showing 5 fingers as reasons to why we should tech tip
I love when he techs his tip on camera
Truly mesmerizing
Or it could be because I fTPM reset and it reset the bios to not search for a m.2 rather a SSD?
5k monitor feels so unorthodox
why?
5K is 200% scale of 1440P and also 218 ppi on its most common screen size
its esentially double of a 1440P 27" monitor in pixel density
Un-standard
its a standard resolution though lol
It's 1080p 1440p and 4k
5120x2880 is a standard resolution (5K)
Stuff like 900p 1800p and this 5k are un-standard screen resolutions imo
you have forgotten the forbidden 8k
That's so hard to run it's not even worth . mentioning
aside from 1800P you've only said standard resolutions
You think 972x972x is standard
6K (the 32" equivlant to 5K 27") is non standard there are 2 common resolutions for it
I would argue 5k isn't normal
I use it for some games
Not 1440x900?
1600x900 is actually pretty common on budget laptops
I've never seen 1440x900 but I think its in several display spec types too though
5120 x 3200 and 5120 x 2880 are standard resolutions though
Not as popular
I am yet to see A 5k monitor
they're kinda common on professional displays lol
the iMac 27" used a 5K panel since 2014
do elaborate please
the iMac 5K, Samsung Viewfinnity S9 (albeit terrible), Dell U2715K(t), HP DreamColor Z27x 5K, HP Z27 5K, Several Planar displays are all 5K
my fault, I was uninformed, enjoy your 5k in peace
oh and the LG UF5K (one of the best selling monitors ever put on the apple store btw) is 5K too
this isn't even including all the chineseium display with LM270QQ panels that are litterally just iMac 5Ks as discrete monitors
apple sells monitors other than apple related ones??????
the studio display is 5K also but yeah they used to switch between selling dell and LG panels
good to know, thanks
the dell P2715Qt and LG UF5K where the best selling non apple displays ever put on the apple store lol
between 2013-2018 apple didn't make its own monitors and just sold dell and LG stuff
What do yall think about the rog flow z13 🤔
Do you use 1440p
I used to on my 15" laptop but no I haven't touched 1440P besides that since like 2009 lol
Hollup
Same price and a better CPU?
please do not pay $350 for a 6th gen
Which ones better however
the 6700 is better
Ok thanks
7500 isn't hyperthreaded lol
I wanna get it for my birthday
In 2 days now
I have an old laptop. I was wondering if it was a good idea to turn it into a raid storage device.
And was hoping to access from anywhere
likely not as USB raid is a bad idea
Why?
you need more than one drive for raid
I’m just wondering. I have no idea
do you mean a NAS?
modern software raid they just need to be similar
Hmm
I have a synology but it has 1 drive slot
Not sure if I can make that RAID
It’s a DS120j
personally I'd just sell the laptop and buy a x79/x99 workstation used and put 3-4 hdds in it for a raid array
preferably buy a HBA, flash to IT mode, use software raid
Scam
^
but the cpu isnt that good but you probably wont get anything better for this price unless you buy used
For all that nah
from fbm
Also don't buy a pc from amazon
buy from temu
Lmao no
Nothing from temu is a good product lmao
my pc gets choppy looks like when dragging stuff across screens even tho my pc is super high end... what could be the issue?
should i enable AI OVERCLOCKING in armoury crate ? i just work not really game
Intel Ultra 9
Z890-E motherboard
96GB Trident Z Royal RAM
ROG Astral RTX 5080
monitors are oled, 240hz 0.3ms
wdym “choppy”
also dont enable ai overclocking pls
who is out here photographing ts
okay...
when i start my pc everything is buttery smooth
after few mins it gets laggy
??
check temps with hwinfo64
my temps are golden with cam
Running any task?
Start-up apps?
Is everything stock?
now it just crashed when loaded fortnite.. said ran into problem needs to restard
ive had the pc now like 2 months
rn its super butter again perfect bc just restarted
but slows back down after few mins

Does your memory utilization go up over time?
Possibly a memory leak.
I'd boot into safe mode to check if it's something you've installed.
Since you did say it wasn't temps.
Nerd emoji statue better
😭
Im tryna get AFMF to work it comes up as Invalid API but i am running a supported API
if you're using nzxt cam, you're not getting proper temp reports, use hwinfo
also nzxt cam is trash software on the same level of being trash as speccy
and if you're using an nzxt aio, you're going to be better off swapping it out for a thermalright or arctic aio instead
how about icue, it reports temperatures pretty accurately as hwinfo
all that shit is trash
hwinfo and msi ab overlay imho
are the best to monitor
but msi ab sometimes kinda fucky
the overlay is just from rivatuner, so totally separate from afterburner, and tbh hwinfi has that built in already which makes afterburner useless in that department
tbh, icue isn't great, it only reports the average making it less accurate, alongside that it can cause some systems to freeze and also means you're locked into a single enviroment which isn't good
I thought I bought 2 used ssds for 30$ only for them to be brand new
Is using a laptop on a long drive a bad idea for the hinges?
no
yeah sata sdds are about $17-25 for 256gb not a bad deal
WHY. IS. IT. IN. FRENCH
Idk ask WD

i have connected my old g27 pedals to an arduino uno, in attempt to make them work without the original wheel. as its just 3 potentiometers i easily got it to output a digital value on a serial monitor/plotter, which in my opinion should be more than enough, but the proper joystick library does not allow an arduino without some special chip. is there a way to take data from a serial stream and put it into an xinput or dinput controller or something?

Lmao school laptop is updating bios, says plug it in to power but uhh i didn't so uhh hopefully it doesn't shut off lol
getting a aorus master 5080 is highk criminal ngl
but congrats man
(5080 astral imho the worst)
it was 1140$, in the us its 1600$ lmao
i mean that.. isnt bad considering the model
are their any good new psus for 35 or am i better off going used
USD btw
good new psus for 35? ur better off used
else ur basically buying bombs xd
astral would have been 1300
hello Agent Hunt
yeah so?
what is gonna happen
bios corruption?
not s big deal 😛

tell your school to buy another one
I did not realize how bad hp support is until now
why
i mean linus does test customer support
Every support is awful since they started adding AI to them
A support rep just told me in writing that PCIe tunneling isn't supported by Thunderbolt 4 and that it causes disruption
everyone is adding ai
wait until bro hear about steam support
like that store where i use my youthpass money, they got an ai, asked it if i can spend youthpass money there and it said no
hp went full into ai
suspect has been neutralised
there are actual humans behind it but they just take your question and put it into chatgpt from 2020
GPT-1
let me copy a response
Steam doesn't use AI otherwise it would be a shit show
tunneling with the some feature may not be enabled hence the load causes disruption and may not work on this computer
Exactly
thats what he meant
ai
hey ai generate a response but make it look less ai
😂 🙏
You can use the port for charging, data transfer, and connecting displays (depending on specs).You cannot use external GPUs (eGPU enclosures) or other devices that rely on PCIe-over-USB-C.
For your specific model HP OmniBook Ultra 14-fd0901ng (AM6Z7EA):
It uses Intel Core Ultra (Meteor Lake) processors.. The USB-C ports are USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) with DisplayPort 1.4 and Power Delivery.Thunderbolt 4 is not included, so PCIe tunneling is indeed not supported.
little fun fact: The omnibook ultra 14 is only available with amd cpus
they literally have the model number and can't get it right
😂 😂 😂
and 3 messages earlier i sent them this
a screenshot from the hp support page for my laptop
using email?
ah
it means i will have to call them again and spend around 1,5 hours to get to the actual competent people who will put me into contact with the engineers
the laptop has a firmware issue where it doesn't work with thunderbolt 3 devices properly if it uses pcie tunneling
under the slightest load it disconnects and doesn't work until a reboot
confirmed on 5 identical laptops with over 10 different thunderbolt 3 devices
I bought the coolest thing ever. Thermalright 7" screen for inside the pc. only uses a usb 2.0 port
primeday deal had it for $41 lol
thermalright products are always very well priced.
my pc suddenly blackscreened, fanspeed went up, the hell happened, only fix was restarting via case button
maybe it's unstable and it crashed
this was my solution. seems to be working 👍
i doubt thats the issue
i wasnt doing anything intensive
good luck my guy.
hopefully not a hardware problem
if the pc works, it works
id just reinstall windows to see if it is.
well everythings new
yikes that's not good
Most based and true take
Is it a 5090?
I'm walking along Broadway, admiring the beautiful scenery at Thomas Paine Park.
just spent $5 (shipping included) and got those fans, lemme install them later and see if they improving my overclocking scores
nah 5070
20€ for 3 keycaps for this Dell Precision 7550
But overall this laptop was a good deal
I7 10850H and Rtx 3000 Quadro
For 340€ incl. shipping
New battery and keycaps 60€ totaling it to 400€ and it's an easy sell for 700€
Impressive screen on this laptop aswell despite it being a basic 1080p60 but it's brightness goes up to 500nits and 125% sRGB
chat what do you think is the right time to upgrade?
now
when your computer no longer does what you need it to
Ryzen 5 3600 to Ryzen 7 5700x, is this a good upgrade? I've 6700XT 12gb paired with it. I only do gaming 1080p (thinking to upscale games to force more pressure on gpu instead of cpu too. would this work?) suggestions pls
upscaling would be more work on the cpu instead of gpu
Is 3D printing an option for those keycaps
3 for 20 euros sounds a lot
The Dell Precision 7550 has tons of different keycap versions
I just upgraded from 3600x to 5800x for $50, and the performance jump is huge
You can take off one other key and model the keycap yourself
Can't be arsed + don't have a 3d printer
This would seem viable if I was keeping the laptop for myself but I'm selling it off to someone else
Yum this laptops profits would be enough to fund my pc upgrade and still leave some money on the side
My upgrade from 5800x3d + 6800xt to 7800x3d + 5070 if I sold my old parts would cost me around 200€
Yeh it would save a lot time from just purchasing the replacement part
I'm foreseeing a 300€ profit from this laptop
And it would look a lot nicer too
Mhm
3D printed parts even with 0.2mm nozzle still looks kinda junky ngl
Didn't take a picture of the keycaps's condition but when taking a picture to ask a person on ebay which keycaps I need to buy took this pic which shows one of the keycaps condition
And that was like in best condition out of the 3 keycaps
Do you play arma reforger or maybe preordered bf6?
my 5090 doesnt get 600 fps in stutterlands 4 i need 6090 now
stutterlands lmaooo
Why is logging in on safe mode on windows 11 so buggy
because safe mode is essentially windows with everything except essential drivers & components loaded?
But removing the pin on the account feels like it qualifies as essential
its gonna look like shit and sometimes perform like shit
they remove the pin for security reasons.
dates back to win7 loading into safemode completely bypassed account security
But not automatically switching to allowing password is wild
havent seen that one tbh
Took like 10 restarts last night before I was able to log in and uninstall drivers
that just sounds like windows tbh
Including one or 2 complete crashes where I had to unplug the pc after waiting 5 minutes for a restart that never happened
All so I can still barely get 60 fps in ark ascended 
fedex fix your fuckin' bloomington logistics center you've been stuck there for 3 days now
What they will do is wait for you to refund the order and get a new one and then 2 weeks later tell you it’s on the way and then try and deliver it to you
Thankfully it's not something I have to sign for
FedEx is the best
🥱
FedEx is the worst
fuck UPS
who tf are you
But my FedEx driver is handsome though :(
the mishandling of my packages is truly impressive
I'm currently dealing with the second lost/damaged package from UPS I've had
the only delivery company i've yet to have issues with is amazon
FedEx ships very fast and has never even dented one of my packages
FedEx has pummeled my last 3 large packages
USPS is bad but at least they deliver your package eventually
USPS is great in my area
like looks like they threw it into a commercial dryer with steel rebar
When my bike got delivered the dude used a dolly and everything
Man even had the box strapped down to the floor of the truck
i think the fedex people hate me for ordering 50lb UPS's
Lmao
and servers
the USPS delivery man for my area drives a van from the passenger seat
like standard van, albeit with the pedals moved to the passenger seat
so he just leans over to steer the wheel
it's mind boggling to watch
i aint fallin for that
interesting, you can now watch movies on youtube for free witha ds
you've been able to do this for years bestie
yeah I get movies shown to me all the time on the frontpage
this last week was the martian
OH EVA look at my new everyday bag
Yummy z flip 5 screen
I dare you to snap it in half 
It’s kinda hard to snap since it folds
Which one should i get? (3 of them are browns ones red)
Only if you fold it completely 90 degrees
The one you prefer
They all have pros and cons, compare them and decide for yourself
I dont know which one to get
They all have pros and cons, compare them and decide for yourself
None has a numpad, all of them are trash
Lmfao
Like what
Cost, materials, layout, software,
And not having a numpad
shush
Lmao
Numpad!
Why did this make me laugh so hard
Separate numpad for games that need it gang rise up
What games need it?
Just curious
Occasionally like milsim games have am absurd amount of keybinds like Arma and whatnot
I like 75% keyboards myself
i like tkl
Im tryna find one to take to school and stuff
I mean, if space is what is a concern for you, 75% or smaller is decent. TKL is also nice. I don’t have much of an attachment to numpad
Same
I do like having the FN keys though as sometimes you just need to remap some for things, and keyboards that don’t have them feel a little cramped
ugh i love how high framerate that gif is
its so CRISP
Lots of noise though
don't fullsize it then
lots of low level noise, quite unobtrusive
is rom in phones and pcs different?
wat
ROM is just a type of memory
read
only
memory
random
access
memory
electrically
eraseable and
programmable
read
only
memory
you don't
Any news on a glossy tandem qd-oled monitor yet
First tandem oleds were stinky woled's
yes they're different
couldve said that
completely different machine code
from the start
You weren't clear enough.
Usually the operating system
but what does it stand for
Read Only Memory
"rom" for phones is sometimes equated to the actual internal storage
idk why, but it's a thing
read only memory means u can see and not edit anything in it
right?
In it's truest form, yes
always the naming schemes in tech
dont blame tech people, blame the marketing people
so the marketing ppl decide the names?
Hi guys. maybe someone can help me. idk if either the website is buggy or not, but i need drivers for the AX210 from Intel. when i go on Intels website i only get the linux drivers, which obviously dont work on windows 11. https://www.intel.de/content/www/de/de/products/sku/204836/intel-wifi-6e-ax210-gig/downloads.html
have you searched for win 11 ver on your search bar?
yes
even had chatgpt try to find them. i can only find some for ax211 which dont work. i tried it
Hello, I've recently purchased WiFi card with AX210 chipset. Installation instruction links to this Intel page to download the drivers: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/204836/intel-wifi-6e-ax210-gig/downloads.html But when I click "View download options" all I see is some empty ...

IT IS YOU

I swear to god why can’t this happen in winter
i remember you
This would easily be a lot of snow
how you been?
what are you doing w all that tech?
i do repairs and refurbishing
today got an iPad Pro 2021 5th gen's screen, 2 iPhone 13's screens and a Z Flip 5's screen in mail today
also a 13 battery and the Z Flip 5's backglass
also bought a new laptop aswell and 2 iphone 12's
Dell Precision 15 7550
heavy as shit 2.5kg but it houses a i7 10850H and a Rtx 3000 Quadro
Screen is bright as hell and I have it on 30% brightness on this picture lmao
how much do you sell them for?
Depends on the device
This laptop I got for 340€ incl. Shipping and then new battery and keycaps for this is 60€ in total
It's an easy sell for 700€~
got an iPad Pro 2021 5th gen for 100€ with a cracked but still functional screen
New screen was like 240€ and once again another easy sell for 700€
do you refurbish thinkpads?
I refurbish anything
I have a Z Flip 5 in aswell
Bought it with a dead screen for 100€ and then a new screen is like 140€
Able to sell it for around 400-500€
honestly I just scroll used markets when I'm bored and just buy random bullshit since I know no matter what I can turn it into a nice profit
The sigma grindset mindset
hmm
what could go wrong
seller is a local pc flipper so its a bit weird in that sense
"sat in a box for a year, untested"
autistic and gay
How much are they asking for it
"offer a price" 🤮
50€
but somebody offered 100€ in the comments and said it was an okay offer
how do you refurbish?
TPU MSRP says 499
Depends if it doesn't need any new parts I just clean and repaste
what do you test the hardware w?
Wdym
do you not test hardware to see it if works understress?
I just run a 3dmark run
ic
This bad 1%
What could be the reason?
How do I boot into bios on a keyboard like this bruh
have you searched on google?
battlefield 6 🥹 🥹 🥹
No I'd rather not rely on Google more human interaction
reddit then
FN + 2
isnt it usually some Fnumber key?
yeah but that has no FN keys
so you have to hold down function key and then press the corresponding number
that keyboard also has a del key so that should work aswell
FN + that F12 key you have there
different keys for dif mobo vendors
Hey there can anyone help me?
I am getting very low FPS with rtx 3070, could it be my ram? 12700F and 6000mts cl30
3070 moment
is there anything off about this listing its really cheap
nah
it’s just ancient
read the description
try going advanced setting
its for a homelab
and low spec
yeah i3 7100T would only be useful for basic internet browsing
psu is gonna be another 20-30 euro
nope £8.99
its just some off brand one on ebay
what’s with the random bios pics
I was told to disable vmd controls so my m.2 would show in download
.
Anyway to fix micro stutters? I have everything to low (dying light and 3070)
This may not work for everyone, but it worked for me. Hopefully it can help you!
I'm supposed to do this bro but I can't find that I'm on a gigabyte
dying light 1?
Why are casual gamers buying monitors higher than 60 Hz when they sucked at competitive games?
uhmmmmmmmm
pointless waste tbh
fixed dying light 1's performance on my girlfriends laptop by going to nvidia control panel and forcing it to run on the gpu also disabling fullscreen optimization in the properties and also disabling all the NVIDIA settings in the game
she went from 30fps to 160fps on her 3060 mobile
people don't only play competetive games
and why buy a nice computer and then get a 60hz monitor
2
seems counter intuative
disable raytracing
Guys HELP 😭😭😭😭😭
the raytracing is fake eitherway
even with story games
try plug in device info
Lowest
should be under that
155fps and 55 1% lows
And I can feel the stutters so annoying.
I don't play competetive games and I still have a 240hz screen
make it run on high settings since with low settings you're putting all the load on the cpu rather than the gpu
pointless waste
idk man
Yo @ebon marlin can you help me 🙏
checked the manual it said the m.2 thing should be displayed there
I have a 5800x3d + 6800xt soon to be 7800x3d + 5070 why would I want to be on 60hz
i dunno man
😭
reseat ur nvme
120 is perfect
Alright
120hz is meh
High settings
It's 110 fps something but the micro Stutter is still there down to 30fps
bro has 240 hz for scrolling tiktok
other one
dredge was free on epic
fat cry 3
have you played infamous?
I mostly play Dead by Daylight which it's max allowed framerate is 120fps
dont tell me you bought it
ew Epic
sybau
epic gross
atleast you get free games
horrid horrid UI btw
the only problem i have with epic is that it uses all of my ssd
try and move a game from one drive to anoter on epic rq
also the load times to get into games lmao
i have 1 drive 🤣🤣
opening Epic Games and then loading a game up takes over a minute vs Steam is like 10 seconds
everything just works on Steam but nothing works on EGS
the amount of money
@ebon marlin
High also gives microstutter
I'm confused what is wrong
Wait guys
try DLSS
Could it be because it's a gen 5 slot with this m.2?
Performance
But still microstutters
I even tried clean reinstall of drivers
My PC isn't finding my m.2
all of em are quality games aswell
why not
what cpu/mobo
I don't buy shovelware stuff to fill up my steam
i mean yeah but still thats a lot of money tbh
its never coming back
initialize it
who cares? i've got money
or check out the bios, sometimes you have to poke around there
Idk how,
haven't even played most of my games
search bar
initialize
should come up
look at a guide or smth, I can’t give verbal instructions on drive initialization
mp33 is also wild in 2025
mp33 is a good ssd
There isn't a search bar for me it's a gigabyte motherboard 😭
what site is the anime?
no
the bookmark?
well
Bro
were you there during the 9anime era?
lmao exact same as me
no idea then, mine just works
I have like 9-10 different phones I own and don't use and like 5+ different laptops that I also own but don't use
What m.2
It’s really not 🥀
goof
i dont think the 60 hz would be good if i have experience higher ones
it was a fine recc in 2023
really goof
it is though
As a 2025 purchase, it’s really not
general usage and gaming for example you won't notice the difference between the mp33 and a gen5 drive
You can get hella better drives for pretty much the same price now
There’s almost never a reason to buy mp33
you can't get mp33's anymore unless you buy old stock
well maybe its his old drive?
from 2023, 2022?
2tb for 100 for never
blyatt
I’ve had a $62 2tb 670p sitting around, I have no idea what I wanna use it for 🥀
for what the mp33 is it's a fine drive
Woah!! Langauge!!
The very naughty b word or smth
blyat means fuck, you goober
Xd
Same thing
fawk
fuck fuck shit fuck piss ass fuck
I need some company to already release a glossy qd-oled tandem monitor

Ja jel jablõika or whatever they say

5070 new, here is like 800 usd atleast
honestly i'd order it now but I wanna leave wiggle room in my bank since it's me and my girls anniversary soon
Isn't 9070 a little faster for the same price?
Hello finnish person
