Honestly the only wifi things in my house are my phone, laptop, and bedroom tv. I try to keep the airspace usage minimal

[rigid fjord]

fair enough, i'm intrigued by how it can use wifi tbh, and yeah would work with htat mainboard

[wide cargo]

my case is zalman z1 neo

[rigid fjord]

same style you can find in dell towers tbh, you got just the 1 sled in total or 3 sleds with a drive in each?

[wide cargo]

i have 1 sled, i am not sure if 4 can fit?

[rigid fjord]

the cage that the case has, can hold 3 hdd's using a sled each, however you could get one of these and put it over the top of the built in hdd cage

[wide cargo]

would hurt cooling tho

[covert torrent]

I’m in the market for a new/used laptop as a secondary device, i mostly need it for coding on the go and it will have arch on it since i dual boot from my pc. It would be nice for it to have a dedicated gpu so i can do gpu passthrough so i can have a windows install on it without dual booting but without it’s fine, any recommendations?

[wide cargo]

i want to eventually move the drives outside of the case

[left dove]

but why

[wide cargo]

with external bay

[wide cargo]

to have the drives accessible more from the rack

[left dove]

..but why

[wide cargo]

that's the why

why not????

[left dove]

nah thats fair

[rigid fjord]

nope, you can add a 120/140mm fan to that tbh, it'll also sit in side on

[bitter crater]

ugh, why do laptop dvd drives use different style sata connector than 2,5" hdd's...

[wide cargo]

meh

i just don't want to buy something that will become unused eventually anyway

[rigid fjord]

3x hdd on the bottom, a sled each

[wide cargo]

ik, i dont have the sleds

i didnt find any model for it to print it

idk how to model that precisely

and eventually i will move the drives out of the case

and get PCI-E HBA cards

two HBA cards

4 drives for each

4 spaces for future reserve

[haughty compass]

hey so my google chrome for some reason is just a white icon and it wont let me open the file location to try and make a new shortcut

[winged sky]

might have corrupted? check and see if its still installed

[haughty compass]

yeah i am able to use it normally

restarting, updating windows, nothing has fixed the icon though

the only place the icon is fine is on the task bar

[wide cargo]

could be desktop/icon cache issue

[ebon marlin]

Acer Aspire with a Ryzen 5 5625U and an Rtx 3050 for 200€ guh

Such a good deal but dude lives 2-3hrs away from me

And I don't trust shipping with Facebook marketplace

[haughty compass]

why dont u ask to meet like somewhere in the middle

[ebon marlin]

I did

[stable beacon]

i'm surprised it didn't yell at me 6 trillion times that windows 10 is dead but i'm finally doing it

[wide cargo]

BOOO

[haughty compass]

maybe see if there are any activities or things u could try while around there so u can do other things while there besides the laptop and make the most of it

[wide cargo]

cuz its pretty good ngl

[ebon marlin]

I have nothing to do in that area

[haughty compass]

not even any food places to try? 😔

[ebon marlin]

I'm very stingy with how I spend my money I don't really like going out to eat unless i'm with my gf

[stable beacon]

it's been a while since i cleaned the dust off my fans on a daily basis

[ebon marlin]

when I go out I just usually go get like the cheapest burger/chicken sandwich from a fast food joint

[empty quartz]

Thats excessive

[stable beacon]

the easiest way to disconnect all your drives is just pull the sata power because i was prepared to gut out all the cables from the other side

[empty quartz]

Nah

I just pull my drives out

[stable beacon]

wait you have like a nas cage?

[empty quartz]

No

My case has hot swap

[stable beacon]

mine technically does but i have an ssd, also it's not very hotswappable

[empty quartz]

Show me

[empty quartz]

That is not even close to hot swap

[stable beacon]

o11d mini, the ssds are on that bracket

[stable beacon]

why did they make a hard drive cage with handle in the back though 💀

it's just overengineering

[empty quartz]

These are hot swap bays

[stable beacon]

lmfao

[empty quartz]

Im beginning to think you dont know what a hot swap bay is

[stable beacon]

you sure that's not a cabinet

[ebon marlin]

I don't understand people who sell faulty products for even higher prices than similar products that are in working and good condition

This is water damaged

[rigid fjord]

then it's going to bug you i found several that'll work with the hdd cages in the case

[ebon marlin]

Meanwhile functioning Ryzen 5 4600H Gtx 1650 Asus Tuf laptop in very good condition is 300€

Lenovo Ideapad in very good condition with a Ryzen 5 4600H and Gtx 1650 Ti for 290€

This person is also selling a faulty Pixel 8 for the same price as a Pixel 8 that just came back from warranty refurbishment

I offered them 100€ and they told me to offer more bruh

I feel 100€ is fair when a new original screen is 110€ with shipping

[balmy tapir]

so then buy the one that came back from refurb?!

[rigid fjord]

@wide cargo https://www.printables.com/model/788261-35-hdd-cage-caddy-for-anti-vibration-screws

cage and caddy/sled

[balmy tapir]

i find sellers who are clearly overvaluing products are not worth the time lol

[jaunty apex]

Likely

[rigid fjord]

https://www.printables.com/model/1014779-35-inch-hdd-harddisk-tray another caddy/sled that's generic

[ebon marlin]

I wanna repair it tho :(

[random gyro]

sup

[ebon marlin]

I do phone repairs all the time I just wanna do phone repairs on products I haven't repaired yet

[balmy tapir]

fair enough

[ebon marlin]

And I wanna test out a pixel too

[random junco]

pixel!!

[ebon marlin]

I love testing out new stuff all the time

This applies to laptops, pc's and phones

[balmy tapir]

you could buy a pixel, then break the screen to repair it ezpz

[ebon marlin]

But then I lose the profit incentive

I buy stuff all the time just to make money off of them

[stable beacon]

i thought cleaning fluids got stuck into my camera lens so my dumb ass decided to take it apart 💀

[plain cypress]

Buy a super duper broken one for learning purposes

[ebon marlin]

Currently I own like 5-6 different iPhone 12's

[clear canyon]

Why lol

[ebon marlin]

They were good deals

[plain cypress]

The best use for an iPhone 12 in 2025 is as construction materials

[clear canyon]

Even so, thats alot of money

[ebon marlin]

And even so I make money off them

[plain cypress]

Same with AM4.

[jaunty apex]

???

Theres literally SO MANY other PCs to do that with now, why AM4 lmao

[ebon marlin]

Am4 is still really good

[clear canyon]

I agree

Its x3d cpus still hold strong too

[ebon marlin]

5800x3d still competes with cpus that are coming out nowadays

[clear canyon]

Yeah

[pallid cargo]

Hey, what could be causing this sound?

[jaunty apex]

Least my CPU/mobo doesnt have a battery with a wack sensor in it

[ebon marlin]

Only 3% slower than a Ultra 7 265K for example

[plain cypress]

Not in #tech-chat-2
AM4 = e-waste

[pallid cargo]

high pitched metallic sound, coming from somewhere (I'm fairly sure it's the fans) while I run a specific game

[ebon marlin]

Tech chat 2 is just delusional if it ain't a 5090 paired with the best Intel cpu then it's ewaste

[pallid cargo]

sound disappears when I tab out of that game (???)

[jaunty apex]

No clue, might be the pump. Mine was loud when under load when I was still on Windows. some reason Linux doesnt drive my pump as hard

[clear canyon]

Its in no way ewaste rn lol, old am4 is but the later ones isnt

[pallid cargo]

I was thinking the pump as well, quite weird. Is this a problem though?

[jaunty apex]

Yeah like under.. Zen 2

[plain cypress]

What is this blasphemy
#tech-chat-2 is fine with pedestrian parts like 9800x3d and 5070ti

Y'all's are a bunch of haters frfr

[pallid cargo]

like apart from the sound being annoying, is it an indicator my PC is about to kill itself or something?

[plain cypress]

Best use for a b450 board is arts and crafts

[clear canyon]

Lmao, i think ur marbles are lost

[jaunty apex]

my pump isnt dead yet (had it since 2021), but Ill be 100%, no idea. It doesnt sound that detrimental though

[ebon marlin]

B450 is still just as good as a B550

Pcie gen 4 isn't a big deal at all

[pallid cargo]

Also worth noting that when my fans change, the sound changes as well. Also set all fans to zero RPM and the sound prevailed.

[verbal prawn]

a320 is just as good as b550

[ebon marlin]

I mean, most A320 boards can run a 5950x at full power so if you don't care about some specific features it's a nice way to save money

[haughty compass]

is this 75in tv worth it for free 99? just have to help the person take it off the mount.. also what are the options for repairing it if possible?

[ebon marlin]

Tv's aren't worth for screen repairs

[robust trail]

it will cost more to repair it than it is worth

[ebon marlin]

^^^

[haughty compass]

what about just dealing with the giant crack in the middle

😋

[jaunty apex]

yea if fans are off and you still hear it, and sure its not GPU then its the pump. Just make sure your radiator is sticking above your pump

[verbal prawn]

hi mark

[robust trail]

hello

[verbal prawn]

hows your day going

[ebon marlin]

I once tried repairing a tv's motherboard at school I accidentally hit a wrong spot with the multimeter and got electroshocked through my whole body to my knee's lol

[robust trail]

busy busy

yours?

[verbal prawn]

nice one

[verbal prawn]

good

[pallid cargo]

I mean I'm not sure that it isn't the GPU but how do I check if it is

[ebon marlin]

Wasn't a bad electroschock fortunately otherwise I would have had to get surgery

[jaunty apex]

I mean could record again, open the case and put the phone to the pump and gently to the side of the GPU, see which is louder

[pallid cargo]

the behavior changes depending on what program I have up on the screen

[jaunty apex]

If you have all apps closed (maybe something light like a browser) and each time you scroll it makes a noise like that like real quick, its almost def the pump

[pallid cargo]

no its more like whenever I have a game up it does that

yeah. for example I had beamng.drive up, then it makes that sound. I alt+F4ed beam, sound ceased immidiately

[buoyant bridge]

Unless you already own the tools even then it's still expensive

[jaunty apex]

Yeah that sounds like the pump to me

[pallid cargo]

not sure honestly it may be coming from the GPU, although not from any of its fans

I've tried to hold them in place one time each, the fans did not affect the sound

[jaunty apex]

Fans spin down, pump just kinda does it real quick

[pallid cargo]

sooo what can I do about the pump

[jaunty apex]

How old is it

[pallid cargo]

couple of years

[jaunty apex]

Cuz itll be one of two things probably, either warranty or get a replacement lined up if you are concerned about it.

Im told AIOs generally last 3-4 years. Idk about that 100% but def depends on what you have. Some people get almost 10 years

[stable beacon]

i only have one aio somewhere from around 2013 and when i got it from my cousin in 2022 it was not in perfect condition to say the least

it was caked in dust and i replaced it with a "spare" d15 instead

[random gyro]

nice

[stable beacon]

i'm planning if i ever upgrade (which is later than i'd thought) i'd just repo the d15 and get a mount adapter

that system is still being used by my dad to do boomer stuff

[sly bolt]

what does the floatplane pilot role mean

[stable beacon]

the most valuable thing in there is definitely the gtx 670 💀

[jaunty apex]

im on a budget and im looking to get a new pc for stuff like microsoft flight sim and DCS which are both pretty demanding games, im looking to squeeze out as many FPS as possible on high settings

[tired bear]

only reason to get it is if you have same one with blown motherboard or backlight

[random gyro]

anyone have BF 6?

[jaunty apex]

Best advice I can give beyond maybe tuning your pump settings in BIOS or FanControl maybe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpcfylfPdkU

[stable beacon]

after 4 years of resisting i've finally bit the bullet

Weird. Not an 11 loading wheel

[pallid cargo]

can it be coil whine too?

[jaunty apex]

Possibly. I mean it doesnt sound like air bubbles, which is why I mention tuning

i need to upgrade my setup before that

[stable beacon]

amen

now how to make the squares squarer

i know there is a shell app to make yourself pretend like a mac user but iirc you have to pay a subscription for it

[peak swan]

I would bet a decent chunk of money it can run windows 11

[stable beacon]

i have a mb kind of like that, a z77 with a celeron 💀

you can bypass everything with commands

[peak swan]

This is a phenom ii x2 555

[stable beacon]

i think the only reasonable thing is the ram requirement, anything past 7 will need more than 4gb ram

[peak swan]

And I'm about to run windows 11 on a celeron n3350
Tho lazy to install to the 32gb ssd so gonna just run off a 64gb usb stick

[stable beacon]

back when you could sit comfortably with 12gb 😭

those were the days, now your only hope is linux

[peak swan]

I swear someone ran windows 11 on 512mb ram

[stable beacon]

they are a masochist

i ran windows XP on 2gb already 💀

i think the iphone 4 had more ram than that

[peak swan]

My pc has 8gb ram
But i put 16gb in a worse cpu mini pc so i am temporarily switching to a celeron n3350

[brave brook]

wow, Apple went full stupid. new Macbook Pro doesn't come with a charger

[peak swan]

It was either 256mb of 512mb

[peak swan]

Wtaf

if we could have retrofitted iphone 5's it would be so much better. best design ever

[brave brook]

just for context, we talk about a 1850 euro laptop

[peak swan]

I am willing yo bet a decent chunk of money it'll run full fat 11 pro

[wide cargo]

hey i have that one still

and working

[edgy holly]

I just learned windows 10 has no support today

[peak swan]

It was yesterday

[brave brook]

can ? probably. Do you want to run Windows 11 on AM3 tho ?

[peak swan]

But yes

[peak swan]

I mean if all i need to do is browse the web why not

[stable beacon]

i kind of saw it coming, and then a bunch of news popped up that it ended yesterday

[edgy holly]

I for one decided to use the ESU since it's free on Europe

1 more year on windows 10

I don't wanna go to windows 11 I still don't like it

[brave brook]

?

[peak swan]

I got updates even without esu because the thing wasn't on for weeks

[stable beacon]

it's identical once you remove all the brainrot features i don't see a difference

i didn't even know 6 core was a thing until 2021 because i was living in sandy bridge for an entire decade

i didn't know tri core existed either people just either did 2 or 4 after like 2009

[pallid cargo]

back now, turns out it was coil whine

[tired bear]

maybe this also helps, this email was caught in our anti spam/phish/scam email filter

i also came to the conclusion that core2 and pentium 4 were in between i3 and i5, this was when i was like 6

[runic knot]

im looking at making a semi budget server rack, anyone have recommendations for a server case that supports eatx or a good case and lga 2011 mobo that's dual socket? my current server is a mini pc that preforms terribly and has near to no multicore power

[chrome portal]

I am looking for a build around $800ish that in reasonably high end for that price. I shouldn't be running anything too heavy on it but if I ever want to I do not want to be too limited. The main thing I am looking for is longevity. I know these days motherboards are usually comboed with specific CPUs (or so I've heard, idk really) but I kind of want to be able to upgrade in the future. I don't care too much how loud it is as long as it isn't comparable to a jet engine. Anyone have ideas?

[tired bear]

budget and rack case dont come together

[runic knot]

when i say semi budget i mean under 2K

[tired bear]

filter on pcpp for 19 inch height and put it sideways on a shelf

us or europe?

eitherway when you upgrade your gpu you will need to upgrade your psu also

[runic knot]

ik

its my first pc build tho

sup

[wheat torrent]

looks good

no complaints

should i OC the gpu? since its dated bc ik the 1080 is still more than enough for games that call on raw power rather than dlss or ai or RT

[pale flint]

here we 🔥

[distant frigate]

LOLLLL

2 gig went from $150 a month to $115

They are definitely feeling the threat of competition

[true stirrup]

Yes it will not damage the GPU

[distant frigate]

And yes this is Cox Communications. They are a bad ISP

[true stirrup]

Never seen that software before

[distant frigate]

They definitely are corrupt

[sly bolt]

You for real though?

[wide cargo]

it's LACT, for linux

[true stirrup]

Yes

[sly bolt]

Im worried that I’ll fry it

[gentle chasm]

Anybody have a hookup for 5090s?

[wide cargo]

what the fuck 😭

[sly bolt]

nah buy me a 9060 XT instead 🤑

[gentle chasm]

Only the best

[clear palm]

Are those symmetrical speeds? I get charged $85/mo for 300down/10up from Spectrum in UPNY

[wide cargo]

what does that even mean lol

"only the best"

[true stirrup]

You can't
Only the voltage could do that and that's impossible to increase on your GPU without some workarounds

[gentle chasm]

Need a 5090 bro

a couple

[wide cargo]

A COUPLE

LIKE

[sly bolt]

What performance boost can I expect from OCing my 1660s

[gentle chasm]

2 to be exact

[true stirrup]

Depends on how good your 1660s bin is

[gentle chasm]

maybe 3

[sly bolt]

what’s that

[wide cargo]

if your 1660 is better than other 1660

[sly bolt]

😭

[wide cargo]

at overclocking

[sly bolt]

Thats a thing?

[wide cargo]

yes

[sly bolt]

How can I check my “bin”

[wide cargo]

very much so

you can't

[true stirrup]

Basically no GPUs, CPUs and RAM sticks are not equal
Some will be able to push further than others and some will lack behind

[sly bolt]

Uh right

[graceful girder]

silicon lottery

[sly bolt]

Because my pc was very good and now it feels slow

[wide cargo]

the lacking behind are lesser models in fact

[sly bolt]

it’s been 5 years since I built it

[wide cargo]

i.e. 5070 being "5080"

[sly bolt]

I posted my specs here

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1428046173671002274

can y’all help me make my pc fast again

or suggest me a new pc

[grim rover]

I got a i5-13400f worth upgrading to a aio

[true stirrup]

Like my GPU is an amazing bin
I'm currently 46th in time spy and 13th on Steel nomad

[sly bolt]

get a bequiet

[distant frigate]

Well here’s this

[true stirrup]

Not at all

[distant frigate]

This is for their fiber to the home internet service (which I have)

2 gigabit symmetrical

[wide cargo]

"fast again". speeds don't change. only how much garbage your drives get over time

you ever reinstalled your OS?

[sly bolt]

oh, how can I fix that

[distant frigate]

Cox is still gonna lose customers here even if they offer fiber internet.

Their customer service is bad.

[sly bolt]

no I’ve never done it

built it 5 years ago and haven’t touched it since

I touch my drivers like once per two years

[wide cargo]

well, here is your issue

[gentle chasm]

@true stirrup Hey, you seem like you would have a hookup for parts, got any? XD

[wide cargo]

two issues in fact

[gentle chasm]

I need 5090, X3D, and ROG motherboard

[little fox]

can someone help me https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1428129525866303549

[wide cargo]

bro shut the freak up, you are annoying

[sly bolt]

fr

[sly bolt]

so what do you recommend i do?

[distant frigate]

Cox also does coaxial cable internet here but I think they will be forced to upgrade a lot of homes here to full fiber

[true stirrup]

I do but I doubt it will help since I live in Slovenia

[gentle chasm]

Closed mouths don't get fed, that's a lesson in life

[distant frigate]

Coaxial cable just can’t compete with full fiber

[grim rover]

what cpu would you recommend for a cpu upgrade

[sly bolt]

but closed mouths aren’t annoying

[wide cargo]

reinstall your operating system once in a while

once in like 1-2 years

[gentle chasm]

It's text not audio you can avoid it

[wide cargo]

bro you are greedy as fuck

i don't like it

[sly bolt]

what if ive got some videos and clips that are pretty nostalgic to me and I don’t wanna delete them

[wide cargo]

backup them

[sly bolt]

holdup brb one second

[gentle chasm]

You're literally interuppting a conversation, I don't get what we're talking about

[true stirrup]

If you want to stick to the same motherboard get the best LGA1700 one in your budget

[wide cargo]

no you are in-fact

i had convo here about helping a guy fix their pc

[gentle chasm]

My fault, I'll get back to work man

[sly bolt]

go to #public-chat and talk about your RTX 5090 dreams there

[gentle chasm]

Dreams? 😂

[sly bolt]

@wide cargo I’ll be back in around 10 minutes

[true stirrup]

It's TC1
There are usually multiple conversations going on

[grim rover]

I wanna do something around 300$ but I got a 4060 so is it even worth it

[sly bolt]

A normal person Dosent walk around bragging tryna make themselves look rich

“I want 3 RTX 5090s”

[wide cargo]

yeah but shouldn't ask for marketplace here, like go on facebook type shit or buy it officially yk?

[true stirrup]

#1027757333117415424 exists for a reason
So help isn't interrupted

[gentle chasm]

It's a tech community, people have connections

It's only a couple grand how is it bragging

[wide cargo]

then fuckin buy it mate

[sly bolt]

Then ask for a connection to a GPU supplier not “3 RTX 5090s”

[gentle chasm]

Monetary value is very relative

[sly bolt]

omg this dude

[true stirrup]

3 5090s doesn't scratch the surface of what some people here have lol

[gentle chasm]

^

Literally consumer hardware dawg

[wide cargo]

that's not the point

[gentle chasm]

I'm also building a threadripper system

Like, just tryna meet people bro dont get the wrong idea

[pale flint]

yall frying your brain for no reason..
thats why my skill to just ignore such things help me a lot

[sly bolt]

well I have a GTX 1660 and Thats already a lot for me, it might not scratch what others have but it’s still a lot for an average person

now let’s get over this cause I either want to fix my pc or get a new one for 1000 euro

[wide cargo]

sure that's cool, i would love to hear about that, but not you asking for "parts hookup" like freaking drug addict

[gentle chasm]

lmk tho

[wide cargo]

[pale flint]

that guy

[rigid fjord]

these are generic designs for the hdd cage to begin with, other than that i could find some other styles that would also work with it, including ones that can have rubber O rings added for anti vibration mounting

[wide cargo]

i did try printing some i found, but they never fit for some reason, unless my cura settings are wrong

for the g-code

[rigid fjord]

the most basic sled's that will work in any version of these types of cages are the initial ones hp and dell both originally used

[ivory mountain]

meow

[wide cargo]

slicing wouldn't change dimensions

right?

[rigid fjord]

earlier desings dell went with

[rigid fjord]

it can do if no measurements are used before slicing

[wide cargo]

well speaking of downloaded models

[sly bolt]

Ok im back

So how do I reinstall windows

Preferably 11 in fact since 10 lost support

[ivory mountain]

type sudo pacman -S opsec4windows

[sly bolt]

pacman

[wide cargo]

try checking "requirements"

[true stirrup]

[sly bolt]

It tells me I don’t but it’s because I don’t have enough space for it

[ivory mountain]

im so mad im never working days other than friday and the weekends at a restaurant again, worked for 4 hours only got $16 in tipshare on top of my hourly

[ivory mountain]

so make space for it

[true stirrup]

Damn yeah that's such a low amount

Hey at least you didn't get scammed on how much you were supposed to be paid for a project
They gave me 40% less than what was first said 🥲

[ivory mountain]

wtf

sue !!!

[orchid trellis]

I now have all the hardware for my nas. All thats left is to install an os.

[rigid fjord]

https://www.printables.com/model/479854-35-hdd-tray another style of the generic kind of mounts

[true stirrup]

Not possible it's completely legal
The first number was an estimate and we were told we will get at least that
But they still have the choice to change the numbers as they want because there was no contract

Working through uni is fun lol

But hey I got some connections, rep and experience

Good enough

[rigid fjord]

https://www.printables.com/model/814438-35-hdd-rack-caddy-holder-4-drives this is the one that you could add O rings to and turn into anti-vibration mounts @wide cargo

[rigid fjord]

you should put your website in your bio dude

[exotic valley]

Why doesn’t Linus do dual 4090 gpu itx gaming rig anymore? One for upsampling only so it doesn’t hurt the performance. It could be a fun video.

[rigid fjord]

because a 2kw psu is not what the average gamer/pc builder is going to look at

[exotic valley]

LTT videos used to be relevant so I don’t care how much more irrelevant it got, as long as it’s still interesting

At least it’s gonna be more interesting than some random people getting $5000 for upgrading their PC

[true stirrup]

Ah I haven't set up the home page at all yet
I've mostly just been using it as file sharing
I coded myself some simple code that connects the site to my pc directly and then I can share files and folders from my pc directly. It's been quite useful

Except if you mean the GPU one
That's a bit outdated now

It's still using the old data

[rigid fjord]

the gpu one primarily dude, but also sweet and noice

having your own personal file sharing is always handy

[wide cargo]

ngl, once you set up nextcloud correctly, it's quite great

love that thing, sorry if this is random

[true stirrup]

It's actually so nice
All I have to do is provide a path to the file/folder on my into a JSON file and it all automatically works
No uploading necessary at all

I would share the link but my PC is currently off so no paths will be found

hey everyone! I am trouble shooting my new pc build to check if everything is running fine. I noticed my bios version is from 12/26/2024. Just for reassurance, I am wondering if i should go and download the latest version on a flash drive?

[orchid trellis]

Fuck. The sata to m.2 adapter isnt showing up in bios. Why are computers always frustrating?

[tired bear]

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6423950/files
this one is very good, i even remixed it to add support for 2.5 inch drives

[tired bear]

crystal ball: your m.2 drive is nvme only

[orchid trellis]

Then how did linus get it working?

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/pondering-orb-gif-26002992

whats the drive model

[orchid trellis]

For the hard drive?

so tempted for some reason

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/no-bugs-bunny-nope-gif-4095597578532971838

[tired bear]

thats m.2 to sata not sata to m.2

does it show up as pcie device?

[orchid trellis]

No

Not in bios

I haven’t installed the os yet

[stark kiln]

Does anyone know if TV HDMI supports a PC?

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/milhosue-milhouse-milhouse8ball-gif-27260687

[stark kiln]

Ok

[tired bear]

could be that sata controller requires a driver thus being unable to boot from in in the pre boot enviroment

[stark kiln]

I'll try to connect my PC to the TV

Sadly they're across the room so I gotta move everything

[orchid trellis]

On their website, it says it doesn’t need a driver

I will figure it out later

[tired bear]

does it say "boot supported"

[orchid trellis]

Not seeing that specifically

[delicate geode]

hey, i recently have been having an issue (i think, or at least im pretty sure) with my fps and stuters or something. i have a 4080 super and 9800x3d with 32gb of ram at 6000 m/t and i have had this build since last december so almost a year fully. i havent had any issues at all, its a custom built obvi. but recently i feel like im getting some sort of microstutters or something in games. i run a 360hz 1440p qd oled monitor and my FPS is always above 360 in all my games i play. it feels like it isnt at 360fps and hz but it is. idk something about when i look around and feel the fps it just doesnt feel as smooth as it used to. idk what it is maybe some sort of microstutters or something but it just doesnt feel right. idk any ideas?

[tender moth]

i just noticed that i did it in public instead of tech chat

[grizzled frost]

#1027757333117415424

[random junco]

look at display settings in settings app and check what ur hz setting is

[tender moth]

do yall have any recs for laptops? i like to game like roblox and fortnite(not very heavy games), and i need to study a lot often. any advice?

[random gyro]

ye but i still hate it

[random gyro]

no but windows 11 looks better than 10 anyway

[delicate geode]

its at 360hz bro 😭

[grizzled frost]

basically any laptop with 16gb of ram

[random gyro]

do you need portability or no

[tender moth]

but wont windows 11 be gone in a few years too? or is 11 the latest

[random gyro]

i like 32gb ram on my desktop

[tender moth]

preferabely.

[random gyro]

11 came out in 2021 i believe

[tender moth]

ah i see. is the apple macbook good or nah? i just dont like that its not touchscreen

[tender moth]

oh i see

[random gyro]

touchscreens are meh from what i've used

i'd take a mac over anything for productivity

[grizzled frost]

touchscreens suck anyways

macbook has unbeatable power efficiency and battery life

[tender moth]

i see

[random gyro]

fr

[winged sky]

god I absolutely love transparency effects

[tender moth]

but macbook wouldnt be very suitable for gaming, no?

it'd be aazing for studying tho

[random gyro]

no

[random gyro]

correct

[grizzled frost]

you play roblox and fortnite

[tender moth]

i see.

[grizzled frost]

you could play those on a potato

[tender moth]

yeah just like those kind of gmaes. but i'd like to be able to run it

[grizzled frost]

they're literally mobile games

[tender moth]

nono i mean gaming with wasd

would i be able to do that on macbook

[grizzled frost]

Yes...

[tender moth]

alright. i'm sorry im not the most tech savy. just wanted to make sure

[tender moth]

wait

so i have a windows 10 but in settings it says i can install windows 11

so i dont need to get a new laptop, no?

[stray portal]

Is it normal to get more fps on 1440p than 1080p

[ebon marlin]

Yeah

Can happen if ur running weird specs

[ocean axle]

no

[valid girder]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1427455329758609541

[stray portal]

My system is a Ryzen 7 5700x and rx 7800xt with 32gb ram and on counter strike 2 I used to get like 200-350fps on 1440p ultrawide but now on normal 1080p I get like 190-250ish

[ocean axle]

though it can happen for, weird reasons

[valid girder]

🙏 some1 help pls

[tender moth]

can i install windows 11 instead of buying a new laptop?

[ebon marlin]

Back when I ran an i5 3470 + Gtx 1650 when I first started pc gaming I got more performance in 1440p than 1080p

[stray portal]

I guess on 1440p the gpu does more work so the cpu doesn't bottleneck as much

Sadly I think it applies to me too as I have a Ryzen 5700x which is still kinda new from 2022

[empty quartz]

As good as google maps is… apple maps is far more accurate for arrival time and estimates

[grizzled frost]

Reducing resolution doesn't decrease CPU load, just increases GPU load

You shouldn't have a performance drop reducing resolution

[calm idol]

the cpu and gpu work as fast as they can. if a lower resolution is slower, something is wrong

[ocean axle]

it can happen if power states are being weird

[empty quartz]

Except if you use the arc b580

[ocean axle]

ie: the GPU isn't clocking up fully because it doesnt have much work to do

[calm idol]

in which case the cpu and gpu arent working as fast as they should which is not normal

[ocean axle]

even then, lower should get at least equal perf

[exotic valley]

utterly insane optimization from valorant that boosts 5ms input latency (CPU + GPU) with NVIDIA reflex 2 + boost enabled as shown on the top left counter

[jaunty apex]

What part of one of a kind do you not understand

damn that was hours ago

[exotic valley]

Networking questions.. I got this router right now (tplink AX1500) but I saw that TP link at Walmart on clearance, now my router is actually working flawlessly but... I was thinking.. will this be an upgrade? I got a fairly small one floor 3B brick house...

[tiny hedge]

Guys i have question i wona start coding Im fully new and i wona learn how to code pls help me WHat is thee best site to learn how to code

[ebon marlin]

This is just a wifi extender/mesh system

[buoyant bridge]

is ur house big?

if not nah, if so yes, FYI with the deco units I've seen they have a LOT of issues unless they're hardwired to each other

[fast girder]

It says it can replace and upgrade any router, replace means it's a router

[buoyant bridge]

yeah its a mesh system

[fast girder]

Nah. Small house. And the area were we actually need Internet is fairly small.

[buoyant bridge]

likely not a huge upgrade, whats ur internet speed?

[ebon marlin]

Pointless then since that's only useful for big house/areas

[fast girder]

Like.. probably less than 1000ft

[buoyant bridge]

the mesh system can do slightly higher speeds (1.2gbps vs 1.1 gbps)

[ebon marlin]

Which is negligible

[buoyant bridge]

ima be real if ur not getting ur internet speed its probably on ur wifi card anyways

[fast girder]

I see. Alright..yea I'll pass then.

[buoyant bridge]

I've got 1.5 gig wifi and basically none of my stuff gets above 800 mb

[fast girder]

Well my desktop is hardwired, the rest seems to work just fine

[buoyant bridge]

does anyone know if this is good enough for a git server? at most like 12 ppl will be using it

[delicate geode]

Anyone tryna check out my post in #1027757333117415424

[lavish bronze]

@clear oasis - can you please see if the below message can be directed to the right LMG staff?

Hi LMG team, Hope this message fnds you well!. I recently saw Linus video with Bitwit and I saw Linus's stress on the importance of 3-2-1 backup process. I tried to search if LTT posted any such guides and what should be the process to first start the 3-2-1 process, and how one should maintain it. I hope if this guide exists, please point me where I can find this video if not, please consider this as a video suggestion

Thank you for considering,

[buoyant bridge]

why momo 😭

[winged sky]

[grizzled frost]

why do you need LTT staff to tell you how backups work

[winged sky]

Very good question

[lavish bronze]

bro the 3-2-1 backup method..

[winged sky]

Seriously?

[grizzled frost]

it's an extremely common concept in the world of data security

[winged sky]

Its something you can easily google

At the very least

[grizzled frost]

you can literally google "3-2-1 backup method" and get the answer to your question

[lavish bronze]

i am not a tech savvy person, i have used Linus's previous PC building guide as a reference to build my friends PC. I mean there are hundreds of PC building guide on google, but LTT version was well thought out, presented and highlighted important points to check when we were building. example standoffs.

and I mean it is a good video idea, if such guide is not there.

[winged sky]

I mean i get that but to learn is to grow

To learn how to search and compile information yourself is one of the best things you can do

[lavish bronze]

in this case, a simple overlook, assumption or a wrong command can wipe out data which we are trying to backup

[grizzled frost]

There is so many ways you can setup 3-2-1 that it's impossible to make a single comprehensive guide

it's such a basic concept that can be applied in an infinite number of ways

[winged sky]

Yup

[grizzled frost]

also this isn't the case, you should always have two copies of your data before you start fucking around with it

[ocean axle]

Why not use GitHub?

[buoyant bridge]

github bad

microsoft bad, hate microsoft or die

[ocean axle]

Also, who the fuck configure a VM with 20 vcores (unless that's a misreport) and 2GB of ram

Gitlab then?

[buoyant bridge]

Hyper-V has DVCores and Dynamic RAM

it only has 1 core and 2 GB of ram on startup but has access to upto 40 logical processors and 64GB of ram if needed

[ocean axle]

fun

Regardless, for git, why not a hosted service like GitHub, gitlab, etc

[buoyant bridge]

because git is VERY easy to run yourself.

[ocean axle]

Also, at the same time as "Microsoft bad" you are using a hyper-v server

[ocean axle]

Ok, and? Why not just use gitlab

Its not hard to host, but if there's no reason to, dont

[buoyant bridge]

because i want to host it myself?

[ocean axle]

mmk, you have fun with that

But yes, that's a good enough machine, and then some

[exotic valley]

me first time seeing anti shoplifting warp tag in real life

[lavish bronze]

i see, may i know what was your process when you setup your 3-2-1 backup process? something that i can use as a starting point for my searching and compling information

[grizzled frost]

google it

online research is a skill you learn in grade school

[exotic valley]

grade school should teach students how to use chatgpt

or google gemini if its sponsored

[grizzled frost]

Not quite sure why you didn't think of that to be fair

people installing 16 programs to do anything built into windows already

"i dont like the way the windows menu looks" ok dawg have fun with spyware

yes look at down detector

[ivory mountain]

its honestly insane lmao you can literally retrieve spec info in cmd

you can see it in a myriad of ways

[buoyant bridge]

fuck

[ivory mountain]

this is why we use arch

[buoyant bridge]

accidentally broke sudo forgot linux just.. lets you do that

[buoyant bridge]

arch actually does this without you doing anything directly to cause it.

and this IS arch

I had to reisntall and just kept the name (so configs didn't have to be changed elsewhere)

hey @azure topaz think it's worth it to test if this 265k is better than mine?

I forgot initially that I have a frame on the cpu >.<

[ebon marlin]

There probably will be somekind of anticheat support for Linux soon with the rise in popularity of gaming handhelds

[carmine yew]

"soon"
for very very very loose versions of the word "soon"

[ivory mountain]

Yeah but still its like they dont use common sense

[carmine yew]

I'd be shocked to see any significant linux support for anticheat before 2028, if not 2030

[ebon marlin]

Gaming handheld manufacturers have started preinstalling their devices with SteamOS so far it seems to be only Lenovo

Not sure if Asus can ever do that though

Mostly cuz of their partnership with Microsoft

i have reinstalled arch for the 3rd time now because arch suckz

(its shockingly stable though)

[left dove]

...

[left dove]

do you have a similar username in sl

[hoary agate]

guys im confused wth is intel optane is it like cache for a drive (kind of) cuz it sounds like it

[left dove]

optane caching was essentially a special m.2 ssd using optane flash storage to "speed up" a mechanical drive by acting as a hot buffer of frequently used files

nowadays optane is just datacenter storage devices

[left trellis]

Is bitlocker something that you know you have if you have it

[left dove]

bitlocker is a windows pro feature i think

[hoary agate]

ohhhh
i was looking at these " Intel Optane Persistent Memory" things cuz they are cheap and i was jus wondering

[left dove]

oh persistent memory is very much a server-only thing

[left trellis]

Could I have it and not know

I dont think I have it but not 100% sure

[left dove]

do you have this?

[left trellis]

I cant load my computer rn

[left dove]

if it was because of bitlocker it'd be telling you

[hoary agate]

ah

[left dove]

press y

[left trellis]

Kk

WINDOWS LOADED

[left dove]

yw

[left trellis]

YAY TY

[left dove]

lmao

[left trellis]

Swapped motherboards 😭

[left dove]

yeah thatll do it, windows might complain about activation but itll be ok

[hoary agate]

so what im getting here is that these optane persistent memory things are like proprietary high capacity memory things that go into a dimm slot but arent really dimms, but something inbetween for keeping servers up during outages (by which i mean like it retains data for long periods of time)

[left dove]

pretty much

[radiant lion]

whats up mate

[left dove]

oh NOW you respond

[radiant lion]

do you have benchmarks on the igpu? I heard that it was like a 5070, but that the CPU was weak asf

[hoary agate]

i own the high end desktop of doom on foenem (from like 2015)

[radiant lion]

also that it has problems with the memory bandwidth, that it was irregular, idk why would that happen

[buoyant bridge]

whats sl?

[left dove]

secondlife?

[buoyant bridge]

i do not know what that is 😭

[left dove]

how tf do you know saaturnidae then

[radiant lion]

I’ve got a rig with a 96gb GPU, a Blackwell GPU, but only the GPU costed 12k, the whole rig costs ~14k. But if I can do a cluster with like 5 DGX Spark I can get up to 640gb of memory, that plenty of memory to do inference. What do ya think? @robust trail

[buoyant bridge]

???

[left dove]

oh sorry, not saaturnidae, capra

[buoyant bridge]

capra is one of my friends partners LOL

[left dove]

I swear I've seen your name on sl

maybe I'm going insane idk

[buoyant bridge]

I met capra on fucking roblox 😭

[left dove]

weird-ass tiny world

nevermind me then

[radiant lion]

expert hacker? child of 4chan? Do a cybersecurity engineer?

[buoyant bridge]

i do a cyber sceurity

expert hacker child of 4chan is a term making fun of 4chan and news agencies at the same time

I do not use 4chan as it is evil

[left dove]

didnt 4chan shut down

[buoyant bridge]

no that was 8chan i think

[left dove]

damn

[radiant lion]

Ight but do ya have a degree?

[buoyant bridge]

it was one of the ones that instead of being racist was restricted to only gavin newsom levels of turbo secrecy racist

[buoyant bridge]

mhm

[left dove]

lmaooooo

[radiant lion]

Nah that’s embarrassing man

[left dove]

newsome is the king of babyface

[buoyant bridge]

i never said its in cybersecurity 😭

[agile stag]

i traded a 6th gen intel thinkpad p50 for a 6th gen intel msi gaming laptop but in worse shape i feel like i may have gotten an even trade but man the msi is rough

[radiant lion]

sudo apt install opsec

[left dove]

cringe

[buoyant bridge]

opsec LOL

I've LITTERALLY posted my uncensored liscense plate on twitter 😭

[radiant lion]

ight bet

[left dove]

no fear, stay strapped

[hoary agate]

nice laptop twin

[buoyant bridge]

@clear oasis if I post it in the cars chat will I get in trouble (my plates are agricultural use ones so they';re public info anyways)

[left dove]

yes

[agile stag]

thanks :3

i dont know what ill do with it but probably at least replace the keyboard

[radiant lion]

why is discord full of femboys

[left dove]

What

[buoyant bridge]

idk im not one nor do I associate with those people

[agile stag]

im not a femboy

[left dove]

I'm just trans

[radiant lion]

not talking bout anyone here

[agile stag]

they made me a twink

[buoyant bridge]

i've never actually met a wild femboy on discord

[hoary agate]

what model is it?

[left dove]

this sounds like a queer satire horror movie and I'm so for it

[buoyant bridge]

ive met peyton several times on discord over the years funny enough though

[agile stag]

gt72s it has a 6820hk and a gtx980

[left dove]

They range from violently queer to violently republican and there is absolutely no middle ground

[buoyant bridge]

they binary*

[hoary agate]

goated computer twin ❤️

[agile stag]

i was initially gonna steal all the 64gb to add to my p50 but i think 32gb of it might be soldered but i only saw two easy slots so i stole 32 from there

[hoary agate]

overclock the cpu to 10ghz ong /j

[agile stag]

this thing seems neat though but ill see what i do with it it still feels plasticky

[buoyant bridge]

I halariously own a thinkpad T480 with 64GB of ram and an i5

[agile stag]

im sure it would love to oc i feel like it has it in it

[radiant lion]

thinkpads are overrated

[left dove]

w h a t

[agile stag]

thats pretty solid i main a thinkpad p50 it does good

[radiant lion]

just like the ROG Zephyrus ngl

[buoyant bridge]

no. simply no.

[hoary agate]

i own a dell precision 5520 with a broken hinge and 24gb of ram

[agile stag]

its the only lineup of laptop that i havent seen a broken hinge on

[radiant lion]

can you argument that?

[agile stag]

dell has made a lotta broken hinge products

[left dove]

thinkpads are like the OG toughbook

[exotic valley]

question, is apple silicon m5 the best processor on the earth in terms of single core performance at stock frequency? (without overclocking compared to other AMD and intel chips)

[agile stag]

so has hp and lenovo(but not thinkpads)

[radiant lion]

I mean I own an M1 Max

[left dove]

M5 isn't even out yet..

[buoyant bridge]

thinkpads handle enviormental shit better than any laptop you could name that isnt ruggedized, my old P1 was litterally dropped in an oil pan once and was fine when it dried out.

[agile stag]

apple has had their own hinge issues youre not spared

and apple has their own apple issues anyways

[hoary agate]

the hinges are like 30mm (or so) long

[radiant lion]

You can NOT overclock an apple silicon MacBook

[left dove]

thats not what they asked????

[buoyant bridge]

like all I had to do was take the battery and quite litterally hose down my thinkpad P1 then let it air dry (it was on when it got dropped in a oil pan btw)

[agile stag]

i dropped my p50 off my pretty high up bed and it made quite a noise but it woke up from sleep after and kept on being fine

[hoary agate]

on a 15.6in (396mm) laptop

[exotic valley]

apple just announced it and benchmarks are out (geekbench 6)

[agile stag]

it kinda depends on how theyre attached to the rest of the laptop

theres good methods and less good methods

[buoyant bridge]

who actually overclocks a system they daily drive???

[granite swallow]

LOL

[exotic valley]

i mean comparing apple silicon with amd/intel chips at their stock clockspeed

[left dove]

"just announced" and "actually out" are two very different things when it comes to benchmarking.

[granite swallow]

I wish I could overclock my thinkpad, that'd be funny

[radiant lion]

Fair enough I guess

[exotic valley]

geekbench scores are out as well and i dont think they are gonna change much

[buoyant bridge]

intel is closer to 1.8nm than apple m5 is to release

1.8nm intel is in production but not released yet.

[radiant lion]

He said “(not overclocked)” as if you could do that

[hoary agate]

the hinges broke on the bottom side (same side as the motherboard) 💔 ive never seen it before

[left dove]

Isn't that on the US fab too

[buoyant bridge]

yeah iirc its the ohio fabs only able to produce it rn

[radiant lion]

Apple silicon firmware is blocked

[agile stag]

they were probably anchored into brass standoffs that were then anchored into plastic(the plastic wears out over time and lets go of the standoff)

[left dove]

Don't tell merv its in ohio

[agile stag]

youd need to replace the palmrest which isnt too pricey but its labor intensive

[exotic valley]

the conversation is getting out of hand. Lemme just get to the conclusion. in terms of single core performance, apple silicon m5 literally takes the crown and i dont think AMD or intel is able to beat apple within a few years.

[buoyant bridge]

AZ, OH, and OR are producting it

[radiant lion]

wdym by it it’s bro, I’m new to this

[agile stag]

theres also temporary fixes but im too tired to explain those but they can get evil

[left dove]

YOOO WHAT we have intel fabs in oregon??

[hoary agate]

Pardon?

[buoyant bridge]

you have ONE small one that is used for early production

[left dove]

I gotta get a tour of that shit

[exotic valley]

in short, in terms of single core performance, apple silicon M5 >> every other consumer level processors (at their base clock speed without liquid hydrogen)

[left dove]

@plain cypress Can you get me in the OR fab?

[radiant lion]

like what are those pronouns, I’ve never heard of those “it/its” no disrespect

[buoyant bridge]

never would happen D1X and D1D are both expermential production fabs for stuff never discussed yet

[hoary agate]

wrong person

[radiant lion]

[granite swallow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[left dove]

similar to they/them but not as a person

some people just identify as a thing that exists

[buoyant bridge]

critters control cyber security and production

if you work in cyber security and haven't met either an it/its pronouns user or a furry I genuinely do not belive you.

[exotic valley]

my preferred pronoun is thee and thou

[radiant lion]

I don’t work in cybersecurity honey

[exotic valley]

and thy btw

[radiant lion]

I’m a Data Scientist

[buoyant bridge]

I find you mildly annoying.

[left dove]

Ditto

[exotic valley]

people can choose not to respect my pronoun, i get it, i will just not respect theirs as well.

[left dove]

aaand you turned shitheel

[radiant lion]

prolly cause I do have a pssy

[left dove]

LMAO WHAT

[buoyant bridge]

<@&750150305383186585> hiiii, bypassing filter me thinks

[exotic valley]

regular tech-chat-1 stuff

for having a pssy

[buoyant bridge]

I really don't care what you where born as or identify as btw, its cool to see unique people and i litterally cannot hate you for who you are <3

[left dove]

REALLY WARSHIP

[buoyant bridge]

based department censored by the deepstate 😭

[left dove]

god I hate that stupid fucking bot

[exotic valley]

lol mobile 5090 sucks ass

[buoyant bridge]

real hacking is plugging a microphone into an audio amp and whispering in secret codes that disrupt 911 calls for some reason

I have given up on arch and returned to ubuntu because ubuntu is 👼

[radiant lion]

once you understand why is that you can’t blame NVIDIA, I mean they get like half the TGP, they’re different dies and get less cooling

[left dove]

I want a holiday skin of ubuntu just called boobuntu

[steel umbra]

undobuntu

[left dove]

pumpkin tux

[buoyant bridge]

Xenia > Ubuntu

[left dove]

idk I just use kali in a wsl instance

[buoyant bridge]

I want an offical xenia plushie that somehow in some way goes to funding the linux kernal

[buoyant bridge]

sadly the one thing I need to use that windows server isn't incredibly good at is webhosting locally

[exotic valley]

i dont blame anybody honestly. its just funny to see how bad the mobile 5090 is (though still substantially faster than apple m4 max)

[left dove]

you're comparing a sports car to a hybrid, what

[exotic valley]

in the future i would prob build a small form factor PC instead of going all out on a 5090 mobile gaming laptop

[buoyant bridge]

Xenia as a plushie would fit so well here

[exotic valley]

with a better monitor + cheaper too prob

[exotic valley]

yeh still comparable when im unsure of whether sports car or hybrid suits me the best

[granite swallow]

Hmm, like an ITX build?

[left dove]

You make my brain hurt.

[buoyant bridge]

sudo mysql_secure_installation is the best cmd ever made

[radiant lion]

The whole M4 Max APU gets 1/4 what the GPU gets

[exotic valley]

yeh prob.

[granite swallow]

yk first thing that came to my mind was either those beelink mini pc or like the lenovo thinkcentre/thinkstation

I'm hella disconnected

[exotic valley]

its always difficult at the beginning at obtaining more knowledges, however its better at the long run

[left dove]

no, you just make no sense in what you're comparing

why are you comparing a 5090m to apple M4

[exotic valley]

yeh apple silicon is the best at efficiency and unbeatable single core CPU performance. M5 >>> 9800x3d in terms of single core performance (looking at the currently released/leaked geekbench 6 scores)

[fervent bear]

If I move a windows SSD from one computer to another, local account only, it shouldn't become unactivated right?

[steel umbra]

5090m for the pooorz, appel 🍎 = ftw better ez

[exotic valley]

cuz they are roughly on the same price point. also i was comparing 5090m with m4 max, and i just watched a youtube video comparing all sorts of aspects of the two devices.

every comparison has their own unique target audiences, you are just simply not one of them.

[left dove]

what a stupid video

[exotic valley]

with 306k views

you are just not the target audience.

[left dove]

a pillbug could tell you a 5090 is going to smear apple across the floor

I'm astounded you need this deep of research to discover this

[exotic valley]

by how much though?

especially at what cost? (in terms of battery life.)
