[normal tusk]

why do people think windows is slow

[ivory mountain]

only optimization you really need to do is use CTT powershell tools for the most part, actually open source too

[lunar hearth]

bloat

[normal tusk]

name 1 bloat

[steel umbra]

edge

[tall jetty]

what did the advanced version did??

[ivory mountain]

their is a lot of bloat but its very easy to remove

[left dove]

so you take someone else's work & claim it as your own, without even listing your sources?

You didn't make jack shit.

[ebon marlin]

It's not even an OS it's a batch file that launches cttutil and disables task manager

[cosmic lance]

*name 1 bloat that you cant deactivate in stock windows

[tall jetty]

explain what is bload

[steel umbra]

edge and edge update

[ivory mountain]

disables task manager thats nice

[normal tusk]

edge does not open if you dont want it to, also with webview2 you can use edge and discord and itll use the same webdriver saving a lot of resources

[lunar hearth]

just don't use it, i dont wanna agure, it's safe and if you believe it's a virus dont use it, just leave me alone

[left dove]

nah you fucked up by trying to scam people

[ivory mountain]

the fact you call everything a virus and not malware says a lot

[steel umbra]

edge update still runs in the background

[ivory mountain]

there are differences bud!!!1!!

[ebon marlin]

It's just a little kid they don't know any better

[lunar hearth]

Because it’s not yall don’t have proof

[tall jetty]

even a vyrus is offended

[left dove]

not your software.

[normal tusk]

thats weird they should run game benchmarks with edge update and without edge update

[tall jetty]

cuz u call them by the wrong na,me

[ivory mountain]

boiiiii u know it boii

[normal tusk]

folks this ones pedantics i will say

[ivory mountain]

LMAO

[left dove]

you're still claiming it as yours.

[steel umbra]

noooo few megabytes of ram very sadge :c -999% performance

[lunar hearth]

I am not selling the software, also yes my os is just a modified windows

[ebon marlin]

you're just taking others work and claiming it as yours

[ivory mountain]

it doesn't matter if you're selling it lol

[left dove]

it doesn't matter if you're selling it or not, you're saying something is yours when it isn't.

[lunar hearth]

Also doesnt ctt utility uses the oo shutup tool

[empty quartz]

How long until this skid gets sued

[ivory mountain]

why did a pic of my ram upload i didnt mean to send ts

[normal tusk]

people be openin task manager seeing 80% RAM usage and think its windows bloat when really its windows making good use of your unused ram

[odd marsh]

Uno? too bad so sad I play a +4

[ivory mountain]

yeah and he has permission to add it

[tall jetty]

people blame vyrus even tho malware did the job. @ivory mountain is done with it now they are fighting back u have no where to run mayro

[steel umbra]

yesss, for telemetry

[ivory mountain]

im the virus i hack your pc with wannacry

[tall jetty]

virus dont do that

malwares do

[left dove]

[normal tusk]

oh im in the wrong tech-chat that explains so much

[tall jetty]

sounds like u need a windows reinstall

[grizzled frost]

lol wtf

[ebon marlin]

i think it's because i'm streaming source 1440p60fps on discord

[tall jetty]

dont use opera it is more bloated that chrome

[ebon marlin]

i wish I could use edge

[tall jetty]

edge my ass dont use it

[ebon marlin]

i used a gay batch file to remove edge once and now i can't use edge anymore

[left dove]

:3

[empty quartz]

Only?

[tall jetty]

never touch edge dont let microsoft have a monoply

[normal tusk]

i use vivaldi i like vivaldi

[ebon marlin]

edge is one of the better chromium browsers out there currently

[ivory mountain]

h-h-h-ow dare you vc with someone else?!?!?!

[left dove]

I'm honestly super surprised its not 2x that

[exotic valley]

looks like an obsolete windows operating system

[ivory mountain]

what modpack i need something to make use of my ram

[ebon marlin]

bro took a screenshot of evil windows

why is it red lmao

[tall jetty]

why is it pink bruh

[empty quartz]

Monitor wasnt warmed up

[tall jetty]

looks like beet salad

[normal tusk]

i dont think its new enough to meet requirements for w11

[ivory mountain]

who the fuck eats that

[empty quartz]

Just 1 mod

[flint lantern]

vivaldi, firefox or gtfo 😭

[ivory mountain]

distant horizons?

[flint lantern]

[normal tusk]

[empty quartz]

Yeah, at 512 chunks it hit a peak of 40gb of ram

[normal tusk]

[tall jetty]

nvida or amd or intel gpu u have

[grizzled frost]

oh the role, link your ltt forums account

[normal tusk]

yeah i think talking or you link your forums account

[empty quartz]

Press alt+f4

[flint lantern]

[tall jetty]

if u have nvidia install nvidium it will improve quality for distant horizon

[odd marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-woah-hold-up-wait-gif-5693923

[empty quartz]

Arc b580

[tall jetty]

its crazy to think abt when u ask for gpu there is intel in the convo

[empty quartz]

@tall jetty

[tall jetty]

if it was me 4 years ago i wouldnt belive they will make gpu

[tall jetty]

do u have like those performance penalties with b580 if not using a

power fuil cpu

[ivory mountain]

i wanna make a hardcore world with horizons but u cant do it cause u cant change the gamemode 😭

maybe ill use a world editor and make the gamemode hardcore after rendering shit

[tall jetty]

download smthing called chunky u can load everything at once

dont do everything it would be terabytes of data

10k blocks

seems fine

[exotic valley]

The Americans are in comparison good spys

[valid laurel]

My setup

[tall jetty]

was building a budget i7 4th gen pc couldnt find some ddr3 sticks so decide to search thing

then i saw this

[royal loom]

Turned my cable Management from "atleast working" to "functionable" and i think i did a better job

[tall jetty]

our setus are exactly the same exept the color of keyboard mouse and speakers i have the same figureines

[tall jetty]

i mean its not bad its not good either

[valid laurel]

You have the bridge 75? And the Logitech g pro x superlight 2 with tiger ice 2 mouse skates?

[royal loom]

Good enough for an 14 year old like me ig

[ebon marlin]

Yo ur fortnite is in sleep mode

[tall jetty]

my skates are diffrent

[tall jetty]

but the keyboarad its 75% looks the samebut colour is inverted

same type of keycaps

[valid laurel]

Ik

[tall jetty]

keys are cherry mx gery what is urs

[left dove]

I fuck w/ it

[fossil nova]

i dualbooted but they both still have a wallpaper with Linus in it lmfao

[cosmic lance]

kingstone more like gigastone

[pseudo linden]

how do i choose a power supply? rn i have 650W but i want to upgrade my gpu and i need a new one thats atleast 750W but there is so many different ones like gold, bronze etc

[ivory mountain]

@empty quartz holy shitttt 😭

[jaunty apex]

Damn I grabbed the wallpaper and suddenly I see 4 others with it lol. I don't use it anymore but still

[cursive pendant]

Anyone know how to remove this cpu cooler? I’ve removed the black bracket on the back but i’m not sure how to do the rest

[steel umbra]

screws

[cursive pendant]

The 4 screws?

[steel umbra]

yes, are they holding onto something

if not, then just remove the cooler

[valid laurel]

Ty, all I need now is the pc im getting in January

[cursive pendant]

The cooler is like stuck on there I cannot remove it

[wheat torrent]

the doohikey

[left dove]

give er a twist

a good twist

[cursive pendant]

There we go

[gaunt fractal]

W twist

[wheat torrent]

w floating cooler

[versed pecan]

I'm doing some lookaround as well just to be absolutely certain, is it certain that it's not due to benchmarking? Only asking because this video here with another WD Drive seems to be making a very similar noise during reads. https://youtu.be/rJM8rHfsgjk?t=49.

Ah, ty timestamp for not working

About 45s in

And in terms of speed and data, it does seem to perform relatively as expected

[royal loom]

Am i the only person who Likes the design of the msi aero itx GPUs?

[versed pecan]

Idk what the green is though

[fickle ivy]

Used a screen cleaning spray and a micro fiber cloth on my monitor and now there's a black line on it :/

[versed pecan]

What was the spray?

For Microfiber I think you only need water

[royal loom]

Ye but not much

[empty quartz]

Meow :3

[royal loom]

(Ok i think i went to far)

[empty quartz]

Im likely older than you @royal loom

[royal loom]

Ye

[empty quartz]

“Low viscosity get”

[random junco]

get

[fickle ivy]

Idk my friends dad gave it to me to use

[random junco]

rip

[rigid fjord]

thing is, there's sounds from normal use, including benchmarks, and then there's the type of ticking/clicking sound yours is doing, and the sound yours is doing is not normal

[royal loom]

Is for older monitors ig

[random junco]

...no?

[empty quartz]

Smol device, or big hands? 🤔

[royal loom]

"ig"

[royal loom]

Both

[versed pecan]

True. I am hearing some light t/clicking even as it's not doing anything

[empty quartz]

Just big hands

[versed pecan]

Like once a second for a period then nothing

[empty quartz]

The rog ally isnt small (for a handheld)

[exotic valley]

Time for a new monitor

[fickle ivy]

It's not a full line either, theres gaps

[empty quartz]

Opinion; apple should make a larger iphone

[exotic valley]

That’s called iPad

[royal loom]

Ipad mini

[versed pecan]

Idle sounds

[rigid fjord]

light ticking would be normal read/right sounds, but when you had it going for the benchmark it was more like the sound of a hdd failing with much louder ticks/clicks

[versed pecan]

Phone is against hdd

[empty quartz]

This is my ifon 16 pro max for reference

[royal loom]

Ye its small

[steel umbra]

how much pressure did you use

[jaunty apex]

Why does it look like someone took a chunk out if it

[fickle ivy]

Not much

Just wiping it

[grizzled frost]

you damaged the screen electronics somehow

[jaunty apex]

So why wouldn't I use alcohol or smth to clean a screen anyway

[grizzled frost]

no

[empty quartz]

Heres my 10.5” ipad pro (first 2 images), and my ipad mini (3rd image) for reference

[grizzled frost]

distilled water, that’s it

[empty quartz]

4th gen mini

[grizzled frost]

alcohol will likely damage the screen

[royal loom]

Bought an MacBook Pro with an fried charging port on an flee market for 30 bucks, should i try and fix it?

[jaunty apex]

Like the plastic you mean?

[empty quartz]

What year

[grizzled frost]

the plastic on the screen, yes

[ebon marlin]

a charging port is an easy fix

[versed pecan]

Wrong vid

[royal loom]

Hold up i got 2 old ipads downstairs lemme get them rq

[empty quartz]

@royal loom what macbook pro?

[versed pecan]

This was the one I meant to send. More direct sound when being weird

[ebon marlin]

pals don't even own an M1 iPad Pro 12.9"

[royal loom]

Idk rn but its model is A 1398

[empty quartz]

Depends, 2016-2022 13” is a pain

[steel umbra]

did some of it go to the edges

[royal loom]

The Screen is also bad

[empty quartz]

Ez to replace

[empty quartz]

Dont replace the screen

[ebon marlin]

can't be that difficult i've replaced the charging ports on the 3ds with an usb-c one and planning on also doing that with my psp and psvita

[jaunty apex]

Lol

[royal loom]

Why?

[empty quartz]

You need to get a thunderbolt 3/4 (depending on year) port

[empty quartz]

Costs more than the device is worth

[royal loom]

Oh

I'll use an monitor with hdmi then ig

[jaunty apex]

3ds USB c looks way easier than vita

[royal loom]

It uses some magsafe port idk wich rn

Doesnt have usb-c

Also the old owner removed the ssd...

[ebon marlin]

Ifixit sells em but I doubt these are Thunderbolt

[empty quartz]

MagSafe 2, its a 2013-2015 macbook pro 15”

[jaunty apex]

That's rare

[empty quartz]

I wouldn’t trust ifixit parts for macbooks

[craggy cove]

@ebon marlin planning to buy a battery replacement for my oneplus 10t but i have never done one before.
what do i have to buy except for the battery and tools?
do i need to use t7000 or those blue phone shaped things

[empty quartz]

No

[ebon marlin]

Eh better than ali

[limpid ivy]

RIP anti-glare coating on that mac though.

[empty quartz]

@jaunty apex my old macbook is rare

2010 macbook pro 17”

[jaunty apex]

For a customer to wipe their drive much less remove it?

[empty quartz]

Oh

[jaunty apex]

Yea context was a bit pushed up mb

[ebon marlin]

Yeah t7000 to seal the phone and to retain water proofness

[worn tinsel]

haha im playing SOTR rn and my gpu is pinned at 100% but my cpu usage is 10% 165 fps at max settings is neat though

[empty quartz]

Fact: ifixit’s “reparability” score is bs

[craggy cove]

nice, gonna wait for 11.11 cause i have some other ali junk i need like laptop cmos batteries and g305 receivers

yknow the usual

[royal loom]

Can you install windows on an macbook? (Asking because the ssd is gone)

[ebon marlin]

Is ur backglass shattered or has any cracks whatsoever?

[jaunty apex]

Yeah I'm losing faith in it

[craggy cove]

yes, will it crack more if i remove it?

[ebon marlin]

Yes

[jaunty apex]

OEM part acquisition needs to be a part of that

[empty quartz]

My 2016 13” mbp touch bar is 0/10 from ifixit

[ebon marlin]

It's glass so it will break really easily during removal process

[empty quartz]

It is extremely easy to work on, just has alot of screws

[ebon marlin]

Basically guaranteed to break even more

[craggy cove]

do i need to heat it more or do i just deal with it?

[worn tinsel]

im prety sure you can but it depends which macbook, i'm not sure if the M series chips will work too well, there is windows for ARM but it's mid; i'd suggest linux personally

[fickle ivy]

maybe idk

[jaunty apex]

Oof. I mean lots of screws is a deterrent but that's not like.. Airpods

[random junco]

its possible

[ebon marlin]

Heat, isopropyl alcohol, and a razor/boxcutter to cut through the adhesive

[jaunty apex]

Love my keeb doesn't tell me when it's almost dead it just decides it is one day

[craggy cove]

i have those weird guitar pick things from buying ptm

[royal loom]

Anyone randomly got a spare 7th gen ipad screen?

[ebon marlin]

These work nicely for prying but won't be great for cutting through adhesive

[craggy cove]

heat it , try to pry it open a little, spray isopropyl between the back frame?

[ebon marlin]

Is the lcd faulty?

[ebon marlin]

Yuh

[craggy cove]

sweet, thanks

[royal loom]

The old Touchscreen cable somehow riped

[ebon marlin]

Ay caramba

[royal loom]

The ipad itself works though

[ebon marlin]

On ipad 7th gen the digitizer and glass screen aren't fused together so you could've just replaced the glass but for this you gotta replace the lcd

[royal loom]

And ik these Finger Prints are as good as imposible to remove

[empty quartz]

32 screws just to replace the battery on my 2016 13” pro touchbar (quad thunderbolt port)

[ebon marlin]

You just need a microfiber cloth

[rigid fjord]

tbf, usb C is just the connector being used for tb3/4 so any usb C connector can be used for it, it's more how it's wired up and terminated

[royal loom]

Tried it but it didnt work

[ebon marlin]

Apple's microfiber cloth is rly good

[ebon marlin]

Try isopropyl alcohol alongside it

[royal loom]

Gonna do that

But nrn since its already late at night

But font really care about apple stuff anyways tbh just gonna buy a new Touchscreen soon and slap it on and its just gonna work since ik it will

Was my school ipad anyways

Before i left school of course

Is my personal ipad now

[jaunty apex]

Ive taught myself to click on a different discord tab when I click a youtube embed and get an ad. I have not taught myself to just click on the link, maybe for good reason

[royal loom]

Im one of those people who finds people tryna throw away old tech and asks to have it for free

Recently got an canon printer

The old owner thought it didnt work after the black ink was empty

Also snatched an lg tv for my n64

[tall jetty]

propane will work fine too

[royal loom]

Its heavy as hell btw

[tall jetty]

u js need some fire with it

[tall jetty]

good deal

for free anthing is good

[royal loom]

I mean even thouch its 4 times smaller then the biggest tv in my home and as thin as it its like 10 times heavier then the biggest tv i own

[ocean axle]

"as thin"?

[royal loom]

Ye

[ocean axle]

if its heavier, id imagine it'd be thicker, even if not CRT levels of thiccccccc

[royal loom]

It got like 2 layers of glass over the actual screen

Idk why

[ocean axle]

plasmas are pretty heavy, and thick for flat panels

[royal loom]

The feet of it also got a lot of glass

[royal loom]

Its not plasma

Its hd i think

[ocean axle]

plasma and hd aren't mutually exclusive

find its model

should be on a sticker somewhere

[royal loom]

It got 2 hdmi (or more/less) and an tv port and some usb

See, its thin

Ok not really...

[brave brook]

ah, the staingate. there is this, but not sure it would be worth bothering https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+Fix+“Staingate”+on+Apple+MacBook+Displays/145122

[royal loom]

Thanks

[random junco]

thats kinda thin for a plasma ig

[royal loom]

Its not plasma

[brave brook]

just be aware that you will be removing the antiglare layer this way

[royal loom]

Hold up

[random junco]

so what is it

it can be hd and plasma btw

[ocean axle]

thats too thin for plasma

[tall jetty]

holy moly that bessels

its thinker that a latina

tf

[royal loom]

Cant make one pic whiteout it being blury... (Cant find my main phone rn wich is why im using an old samsung)

But it does have hdmi as i said

And usb

It also uses the same power cable as an pc

But you should be able to see the 2 layers of glass wich i mentioned on this pic

And the glass layer on the stand wich i also mentioned

My dad told me im weak when he saw me strugle to carry this tv until he tried himself

It needed 2 persons to carry it safely upstairs

And of course i killed the chat since thats my every day task...

Planing to finish upgrading my pc and then care about aestetics and then doing an case swap some time in future

[random junco]

<@&750150305383186585> its this scam again#

i see ts like every day

[random junco]

thats what i thought lmao

[ivory mountain]

What was it

[random junco]

elon musk fake gambling

[ivory mountain]

Oh lol

[rigid fjord]

another bitcoin scam?

[random junco]

they'll never stop

[brave brook]

my 2007 TV was like this 😄

to be fair, that was also with front firing speakers, which is something we lost

[median glacier]

I want to enable Secure Boot to play a few games, but last time I tried to do that it ended up with me having to buy a new CPU and motherboard. I now have a more expensive motherboard and CPU, but how can I be sure I don't destroy my PC again?

[brave brook]

and yes, it will take forever 😄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt80oeMl0Ks

[limpid dune]

what in tarnation

[random junco]

10k usd and no storage lol

[rigid fjord]

tell that to samsung dude, i have a plasma from them that's from 2010 and it be light

[high elm]

lmao this is worth like $300 these days

[ocean axle]

Storage is cheap

[ocean axle]

No, it's worth a good bit more than that

[high elm]

v100's are worth that much?

cuz them x99 xeons and boards + ram arent

[ocean axle]

32tb v100s are

[high elm]

that case looks amazing though

[ocean axle]

Just the gpus are about $4k

The rest is kinda meh, but those gpus are also water-cooled, it's quiet, and the quad nvlink bridge alone isn't cheap either

So, it's probably worth $6-8k

[high elm]

im looking around rn 16gb sxm V100's can be found for like 70 bucks

but them 32gb ones are bloody expensive

[daring crystal]

Bezels take up like a quarter of the screen

[high elm]

like 4x more cost

[odd marsh]

HBM

[brave brook]

for AI. Anything with CUDA + more than 16GB VRAM is a sought after item.

[rigid fjord]

well more than 12gb

[clear canyon]

yeah, ai loves its vram

[thorn pewter]

Did they ever have a breakup?

[clear canyon]

[boreal vine]

caved and went windows 11 💔

now I

now I'm going to go spend days looking over shit and removing bloat

[empty quartz]

Its official

[boreal vine]

I feel disgusting

[cosmic lance]

windows 11 lwkey goated

[boreal vine]

hell nah

[cosmic lance]

except this

[jaunty apex]

7 was goated.

[cosmic lance]

and their ai thingy

[boreal vine]

its bloatware 😭

[empty quartz]

My rog ally has a faster cpu than the 10 core i9 imac (i9 10910), and the apple 12 core m4 pro

[boreal vine]

i'm going to run script for it to delete verything for me

[cosmic lance]

i still remember purple place and the chess game on win7, good times

[boreal vine]

purble palace or buts bruh

[exotic valley]

does it use less power than apple 12 core m4 pro chip?

[empty quartz]

Fuck no

Still impressive for a handheld tho

I already know the m4 pro is faster overall

[jaunty apex]

My fixation was ninja tuna and WMP visualizers

[exotic valley]

The only thing I need is just 25 real frames

[cosmic lance]

the worse is that FG takes up load on your gpu so it means that if you enable FG, you get LESS than 25 FPS

unless double gpu ofc

[vestal spear]

can anybody help me with updating my motherboard

[tall jetty]

remeber tyhose crts

foot long bessels

[cosmic lance]

like the BIOS?

[stray portal]

It's good tho

[stray portal]

You can uninstall this from installed apps section in settings

[exotic valley]

i guess a slightly worse input latency is still many times better than beautiful responsive slide shows

[thorn escarp]

honestly check if you have bios flashing

its the best

[stray portal]

My friend did this today he has a gtx 950mx and I helped him use fsr on counter strike 2 now it's actually playable

He thanked me he was so happy

He went from like 20 fps at best to over 60 consistently

[prime moth]

I started Spider-Man 2 last night, mostly to get the graphics dialed in.

VRAM usage per the Steam overlay is showing like 16-17 out of 15.5gb, but my lows seem fine. I thought once you exceed your VRAM your lows should dump.

Any clue what’s going on there? I might have a fundamental misunderstanding of what happens when your VRAM overflows…

9800X3D/5080.

Trying to decide if I just run it as is or if I should cut ray tracing out or find somewhere else to cut corners. Getting ~100FPS raw in the opening areas.

[stray portal]

If it's running fine then why bother

You have a really good system also so i don't see why ur worrying

[prime moth]

Not worrying, just wondering what’s going on, haha.

[formal sonnet]

Literally 1 toggle switch turns that off... Like, I don't disagree that it's bloat (if you don't use it) but the number of complaints about things in Windows 11 you can just turn off / uninstall make me scratch my head. By this logic, I should complain to the dealership about the "bloat" that are the foglights in my car because I personally never use them. 🤷

[bleak cove]

do i lose preformance if i use a b650 motherboard with a 5070 ti 7800x3d

[stoic nova]

What the Fortnite kinda question is that

[trail forum]

Need to get a new pc man windows 10 dies tomorrow and I tried Linux already but I know my peripherals won’t work

[fickle ivy]

the fuck does this even mean

[rigid fjord]

@boreal vine
single command prompt line if you want to set the context menu in windows 11 to the more classic one that was in windows 10 and before it
reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /ve /d /f
basically makes it go from win 11's 2 clicks to get to what you want to, to how it works in win10

[rigid fjord]

no there's no lost performance there

[rigid fjord]

it's using a small amount of shared memory ontop of the vram

[trail forum]

Would you guys recommend I use my Alienware Area 51m r2 until I can get a new pc

Probably would just need to get more storage but that’s bout it

i9-10900k and a 2070 super

[clear canyon]

what price

[formal sonnet]

It means what they say it means? Are you accessing Spotify using the App or via a web browser? And when's the last time you restarted the app or refreshed the browser page?

[clear canyon]

@trail forum

[fickle ivy]

they're either planning an update or there's too much cache in your browser

so the tab will crash because of it

[trail forum]

[formal sonnet]

Gotcha. Here I was thinking they want you to refresh to rotate out the encryption keys, but what @valid canyon said is more likely - they're deploying an update server-side.

[valid canyon]

It's actually a fun idea.
Because some websites will just stop working and you'd be forced to restart yourself

[stoic nova]

That's what I tell all the hos

I got too much cache

did you finally upgrade your PC to windows 11 from linux?

really a nice move

i did mine a few years back. used to daily drive gentoo & LFS (linux from scratch)

ngl i would never go back to linux desktop after the switch. Linux desktop just simply sucks in way too many ways.

i tried arch, void, gentoo, debian and centos, nothing beats windows 11 (or even the obsolete windows 10) in terms of user experience

[left dove]

afternoon coffee ftw

[boreal vine]

yeah but I have to spend like a few minutes doing that, when I just can't have that, but atleast it can be uninstalled

[boreal vine]

I don't use linux, they're for dweebs

[left dove]

he naenae'd when he shoulda whipped

[stoic nova]

Here's the thing though. Are you using the intended Windows 11 end user experience

Or did you hack the shit out of it with what you learned from using Linux

[formal sonnet]

Good. Users should spend time familiarizing themselves with every aspect of every piece of software they use. That's the only way to find out what a piece of software can / can't do, which in turn maximizes one's productivity when using said piece of software.

[lost lichen]

guys can someone help
i thoight my D disk was corrupted so i ran the fix in command prompt, but it says it will take a couple of hours, but i need to turn off my pc now, what can i do

[boreal vine]

Joking, but linux would never touch my main "PC", I use ubuntu for hosting apps and shit tho

Its not, i did a shot with my dslr and phone , and then compared them, and everything lined up, plus matched what i was seeing

[random junco]

my telephoto camera is more of a zoom than astro photography, although i've never actually fully compared

[midnight wind]

well here's a curious thing, apparently in most cars you can't even turn the fog lights on independently of the low beams

0X80073CF6 is the error code I got and I tried the first few solutions I could google

This is clearly like a microsoft store issue

[ebon marlin]

are u downloading from microsoft store or from the browser microsoft store

[gritty thistle]

Because I havent had any problems with steam, battlenet, jagex launcher, or anything else.

I tried both

I tried downloading the XBOX app EXE installer as well and it gets stuck

[gritty thistle]

I got the same error when i tried to install the game from the XBOX app, but i uninstalled the Xbox app thinking the issue was that app

[ivory mountain]

can guarantee this isnt gonna do anythingf

[ebon marlin]

eh worth a try

[gritty thistle]

Yeah ia lready did this

[worn basalt]

Windows 10 tom?

[ivory mountain]

try getting modrinth, you login via microsoft and install mc and shit through it

https://modrinth.com/mod/world-host

throw this world host mod in there and u should be able to play

official mc launcher is shit

[gritty thistle]

dude you're not listening. I have ATLauncher

I have an issue with MS Store installing apps

you did not mention ATLauncher one time brodamon

[gritty thistle]

You're focusing on the wrong thing

You're fixating on minecraft and that just happens to the be app that i tried to install

[worn basalt]

Can you install windows updates? To my experience, MS Store malfunctions while Windows Update also malfunctions

[gritty thistle]

I cant install microsoft store apps this is a much bigger problem

yeah my pc was in storage fora few motnshj

and I ran a full windows update a few days ago

zero issues. took a while, but all is functioning normal as far as I can see

[ivory mountain]

i was just tryna tell you this doesnt require MS store or xbox app or any of it 😭

i know what ur saying tho, not sure whats causing that issue

[tired bear]

what windows version do you have?

[gritty thistle]

win 10

[tired bear]

edition and release

[gritty thistle]

there was some weirdness with my SSD it was stuck at 100%

but It stopped after a restart

uhh lemme check

[worn basalt]

Maybe corruption?

[ivory mountain]

probably version 67 boi

[gritty thistle]

Edition Windows 10 Home
Version 22H2
Installed on ‎1/‎7/‎2025
OS Build 19045.6396

I did a reformat after the new year

and since like june this PC has been in my storage unit

[gritty thistle]

Thats what I was afraid of. I dont think its SSD Corruption tho

because I have been uninstalling and reinstall and deleting and downloading things on the drive

and nothing else has corrupted or had an issue

so maybe its an OS corruption?

pertaining to the store?

[random junco]

no

I think there is a troubleshooter for Windows Store

At one point, my Windows Update was malfunctioning for months straight. Multiple clean reinstalls didn't do anything but delete installed apps.

is there a tool that LTT uses to test for SSD corruption?

Because Im trying to use the WD one that is supposed to auto detect drives and its not detecting anything, but the drive is connected and working, i cant imagine its so corrupted ina unique way that it doesnt detect the drive when windows can detect the model perfectly fine

[balmy tapir]

assuming your on windows?

[gritty thistle]

Yeah im on windowes

[balmy tapir]

id just use like crystal disk and chkdsk\

[gritty thistle]

this is just like hwinfo

[wild basin]

finally figured out why my gpu refused to work while not tilted - this cable was slightly pushing it out of pcie slot

[balmy tapir]

crystal disk should have drive heath info i thought

[stoic nova]

Kind of.

Close there

[wild basin]

it actually is - there are more of them behind it

im going out tmrw to buy a proper atx mobo

[stoic nova]

Oh did you move out of an ITX case recently

[wild basin]

yes

[stoic nova]

I've done this lol

When you're just done with the noise

[wild basin]

my new gpu just didnt fit in the old case lol

[stoic nova]

Oh if the noise didn't bother me we just bust out the angle grinder

[wild basin]

tbh im glad i went out to buy a new case - it would have been a nightmare to troubleshoot it for 7 hours straight

[gritty thistle]

idk how 17% can be considered "good"

[wild basin]

i used a 3050 which whole box was smaller than my gpu out of the box so im not surprised the cables were pushing it out of the pcie slot lol

[gritty thistle]

This is my m.2 drive

[stoic nova]

I can't say this is factual but it's easy to assume that the more space you give going full ATX here lends itself to more of its heat being exhausted

I would fully expect a quieter system if not at least more stable boost clocks

The GPU* I mean

[wild basin]

well i cant say its quieter but its for sure more stylish

i have 5 fans instead of 1 now

also its a beauty to look at standing at my desk

[stoic nova]

Eh. Acoustics will matter to you a lot more eventually

[wild basin]

i cant get enough of how good it looks

[gritty thistle]

So the drive is dying yeah?

[wild basin]

honestly i cant hear it at all since im in headphones

[stoic nova]

SMART is kinda....idk how to describe.

Vague?

[wild basin]

also gpu so powerful it barely needs to spin its fans

[stoic nova]

An uncapped frame rate is an uncapped frame rate

[wild basin]

i get like 100 fps max settings in cyberpunk no frame gen and it barely uses 2/3rds of its power

im in love with my 9070 xt

was kinda hoping the radeon logo would also light up on the gpu but ig its not a big issue

[balmy tapir]

i mean its nothing definite. a drive at 90% can fail just as soon as a drive at 20%. it just indicates your drive is closer to the end of its life

[gritty thistle]

well it's certainly an older drive

[balmy tapir]

that WD blue drive is rated for 600TBW (i think?) and youve written half that so far, so its definitely been through the paces

[gritty thistle]

Alright, I'll partition the M.2 for a clean windows installation and just preserve the data I want on the old WD and take it to e waste

Thanks for the help

[rocky schooner]

Could I get some help guys

My pc disconnects from the monitor as soon as I sign in

But it will not disconnect around 50% of the time

[rigid fjord]

it's on it's way out

also i lied, the drive seems to be rated for 200TBW, so its outlived its endurance rating

Hello, I have a small question. I recently bought a 9800X3D, and I’m wondering if I should return it and get a 9600X (272,28$ cheaper) instead. I play games at 1440p and plan to upgrade to the next RDNA 70/80 GPU within the next year or two (when they’re released). Is that a good idea, or should I keep the 9800X3D?

[worn basalt]

I'd honestly try error checking...

[stable beacon]

actually i think it turns out it was my editing software 💀

i set the export to a different color space which is kind of hideous

what i need to do now is embed the metadata because the edited ones are completely gone as far as darktable allows

still getting this error. all drivers have been reinstalled from scratch. Stream crashes when taking a screenshot and alt+tab'ing to resize screenshot window etc. the crash is at random times too it doesnt ALWAYS crash when i screenshot, but every time it does crash, its while im screenshotting.

[tall jetty]

feel like a issue with the drivers

ngl

it happens to me it happened to me

[random gyro]

thats what im getting from a lot of people but i have updated to latest and even reverted back to an old driver. this issue has been going on for over a year but only recently its been getting out of hand

[tall jetty]

reinstalled driver didnt solve the issue after a few days it solved its self

[tall jetty]

reinstall obs did u try that

wont recomend u will lose those setting and have to do it again keep it as a last resort

[random gyro]

yes we made a completely new profile from scratch a few months ago and the issue persists

[wild basin]

hey uhm i noticed that my ram amount is lover than before, is this normal?

[livid escarp]

yes

wait

it may be for some kind of hardware reservation thing, not sure what but it shouldn't make much difference

sorry about that, I misread yours at first

[wild basin]

Alr then

[livid escarp]

does it stay the same after a restart?

[wild basin]

Yes it does

[livid escarp]

it could possibly mean that a small part of your ram is unusable too

[buoyant bridge]

Forgot how ugly my PC is without the fans here

[livid escarp]

how old are the dimms?

[wild basin]

Btw if i switch motherboards there should be no compatibility issues with plugging old components in the new mobo right?

[livid escarp]

there shouldn't be, unless your old one is ancient

[buoyant bridge]

2022 why?

its DDR5 6400

[wild basin]

Good, switching to full atx b650 tmrw cause cables cause my gpu to not plug in the prie slot unless at a tilt bruh

[buoyant bridge]

god my cooler was so dirty

[livid escarp]

I was just looking at some b650/b850 boards today, I'm on B550 and I want a more efficient cpu

[wild basin]

Ill pick up an eagle ax mobo

Should handle the eventual switch to 7800x3d + 3 nvme slots

Also pump header + type c header

[buoyant bridge]

rate my zip tie sag prevention

[livid escarp]

I have a 5800x3d currently and it's plenty fast, it just runs hot because of the location my pc is stuck in

[wild basin]

I have 8500g and its probably fine but im overcompensating cause of laptop 1050 past trauma

[livid escarp]

8500g is definitely fine lol

[wild basin]

Yep, but im still an insecure bitch abt it

[livid escarp]

I forgot that I didn't crop this pic, oh well

[livid escarp]

felt that lol

[buoyant bridge]

tie off to a section of your cooler where it's got heat pipes or a metal backplate it helps more

If you do it at the ends it'll just bend it worse

Mines here

[livid escarp]

it's attached to the backplate

[buoyant bridge]

Is it a metal backplate?

[livid escarp]

yea

[wild basin]

I hate it so much honestly but i cant say my sag prevention measure back in 3050 era was better

[livid escarp]

my gpu came with an anti-sag bracket but it's too big for my case

[buoyant bridge]

These are goated wish they made them with RGB

[clear canyon]

L

[buoyant bridge]

My GPU came with a anti sag bracket but I don't wanna see my sag protection

I have fans that cover this area when my PC is fully together

[livid escarp]

the bracket is longer than the gpu itself and the card already barely fits

I kinda wanna find a sff case that'll be able to fit my gpu, I don't mind getting a different cpu cooler if I have to

I just wasn't able to find anything in the time that I was looking

[wild basin]

I had like a contraption from lego which i pushed under my gpu to prevent it from sagging

[livid escarp]

hell yeah

if I had my legos with me I'd probably do the same

but all I had were zip ties so in they went

my most recent upgrade was my psu, I had a NZXT C750 before but the gpu power draw spikes would overload it and shut the system off

[wild basin]

Also sold it today for my new mobo basically

[livid escarp]

I put in a Corsair 1000w unit and it seems to have fixed my problem

[buoyant bridge]

How do we feel about these over my HDD bays btw

[wild basin]

It's whole box is smaller than my new gpu

[wild basin]

Love win 7 but goddamn boy clean it up

[livid escarp]

How about a dvd drive in '25

[clear canyon]

ew

[buoyant bridge]

my case has a DVD bay but the front panel doesn't have space for it

[sleek ibex]

Fractal Pop?

[buoyant bridge]

I'm cleaning it with it on rn

[livid escarp]

Yep, love this case

[sleek ibex]

[buoyant bridge]

I've cleaned servers while they're on for years so I'm used to cleaning my PC with it on lol

[wild basin]

Also Radeon spotted

[livid escarp]

I've had 3 AMD cards and 3 Nvidia cards

[clear canyon]

iv mainly had nvidia

[livid escarp]

currently all AMD

[sleek ibex]

My first was S3

[wild basin]

Im like 19 so i only was able to afford 2 so far

Oh and also bought 1 for a client

[livid escarp]

(in order) I had a 9500 GT 512mb, GTX 650 1G, RX 470 4G, GTX 1070, RX 6700XT, and now RX 7900XT

[sleek ibex]

Then later on got an additional card (3DFX Voodoo2) later on to get some 3D goodness

[clear canyon]

in my dorm rn, I have a 4080, 3090, 3060ti and a 3060

[livid escarp]

I have two 1070s sitting around that I eventually wanna mess around with SLI with

[wild basin]

If i count my laptops it was intel integrated graphics, gtx 1050 ti mobile, rtx 3050 and now rx 9070 xt

[clear canyon]

i have many more gpus but they are lower end/older

[livid escarp]

I think I have an old gpu sitting in my closet, I forget what it is

lemme find out rq

[wild basin]

And i once bought a 5600 for a client

Still have the leftover thermal pads lol

[sleek ibex]

I have an OG 3DFX Voodoo card somewhere

[livid escarp]

6600GT 128mb

[wild basin]

Is it even pci?

[livid escarp]

yes, it's pcie

I do have a pci soundblaster at my dad's house tho

[sleek ibex]

Our old family PC had an VLB based Tseng Labs

That was form 94

[wild basin]

Looked at this slot thought it was agp smh

[sleek ibex]

She's long gone now

[livid escarp]

I can confirm I'm quite a bit younger than you, my parents old system was on Vista but technically "my first pc" was a Compaq Presario from the WXP days that belonged to my gma

I used to watch youtube videos and play Classic Minecraft on it

back around 2012ish

[buoyant bridge]

I repainted the bracket for these fans

It was glossy the rest of my case metal is matte

[wild basin]

Bruh i remember playing like minecraft 1.5.2 back then i was 9 and then overwatch trailer dropped and it wad all i could think of until like 2018-2019 when i got my 1050 laptop

[livid escarp]

also didn't include my laptops and now ROG Ally

[buoyant bridge]

Friendly reminder you need a fuck ass 1/4 rachet to work on my PC lol

[wild basin]

Hows your pc LEAKING OIL?!

[sleek ibex]

Intel 486DX2-66, Sound Blaster Pro 2.0 (or SB16), Tseng Labs ET4000/W32P VLB, 16MB RAM (original it had something like 8MB) Windows 95 (originally had DOS 6.22/WFW 3.11)

[buoyant bridge]

oh that's spray paint

I just painted one of the fan brackets

It had a lot of paint worn off it

[wild basin]

Bruh i thought you had oil in ur pc smh

[buoyant bridge]

Nah my case just has a lot of custom brackets

guess how these are attached lol

[wild basin]

Thats cool, hope one day ill be able to afford a 3d printer

[buoyant bridge]

hahaha yeah 3d printer hahaha

[wild basin]

Oh the scrap metal kind of way?

Thats actually cooler

I love jank mods

[buoyant bridge]

This is all you need to make small stuff out of aluminum lol

Its all made out of aluminum LOL

[granite osprey]

shalom

[wild basin]

True but also would be more expensive than to buy a 3d printer and fillament

[livid escarp]

if you can find a local used printer they're def worth it

[buoyant bridge]

I've been machining stuff by hand since 1991 so

[livid escarp]

I've seen some local Bambu A1(M) printers going for around $150 usd where I am
