[tall jetty]

i feel targeted

[rigid fjord]

120v is actually more survivable than you think

[clear oasis]

you can have 1 million volts on a van de graff machine, but it doesnt matter because the potential isnt high enough, also how is that a slur

they literally just spammed letters

[latent gull]

The first one was kinda implied a wee bit

[buoyant bridge]

I didn't say it's a slur 😭 and no it can be lethal in specific places like the back of your throat, or I'm cases involving water in specific ways

[grizzled frost]

Ahem @clear oasis

[tall jetty]

aint volts called potential

[grizzled frost]

no

[clear oasis]

oh thank you

[tall jetty]

isnt it the si unit of potential

volts is the si unit of potential i think

[buoyant bridge]

120V is pretty safe though for all the shit it gets esp in North America where we use solid core wires for internal wiring too

[tall jetty]

might be wrong doesnot have that much text book knowledge

[grizzled frost]

Volts isn't an SI Unit

[rigid fjord]

safer than 240v

[tall jetty]

some kinda unit of potential

[grizzled frost]

Volts is a derived unit based on SI units

[buoyant bridge]

US 240V is more dangerous than Euro 240V though

[latent gull]

Isn’t it joules?

[clear oasis]

Amps kill. volts enable and freqency matters

[latent gull]

I thought all energy in SI was joules

[buoyant bridge]

No one specific measurement kills it has to be a combination of specific measurements to kill

[grizzled frost]

Duration also matters

[grizzled frost]

Ai summary...

[clear oasis]

.... no

[tall jetty]

thats the thing potential is not energy

[tall jetty]

yip

[tall jetty]

easy way

[rigid fjord]

though i know people can die from a 9v battery also

[buoyant bridge]

tfym tens units literally are unsafe to use near the heart because despite being around 1.5-9v they can stop your heart

[tall jetty]

that potential energy am talking abt potential and potential diffrence

[grizzled frost]

Depends on frequency

[steel umbra]

you know, you can stack a few dozen AA batteries and die from them

[tall jetty]

i remeber from collage

[buoyant bridge]

heavy yes that's why I said can and not will.

[grizzled frost]

You can run much higher voltages into the heart as long as it's high enough frequency

[rigid fjord]

i only know of this one due to reading about mandatory safety courses for navy peeps in how to use a multimeter btw

[tall jetty]

a objected connected to bluh bluh bluh will have potential flowing through even tho switch is turned of

[buoyant bridge]

how about we all just follow one of the biggest rules for working with electricity and treat all electric currents as if they are dangerous

[steel umbra]

omgggg 12v in a pc

[tall jetty]

potential diffrence occuors when the circut is complete and open

[latent gull]

Is it from choking on it? Did the marines think it was too similar to a crayon size?

[grizzled frost]

i will continue licking 12v batteries, please and thank you

[steel umbra]

12v horrible, dangerous

me scared of usb 5v shocking me

[buoyant bridge]

I've seen 12V car batteries do some nasty shit

[steel umbra]

😱

[spring raft]

Does anyone know if Phanteks is a reliable brand for 120mm fans?

[rigid fjord]

nope, someone accidentaly stabbed themselves with the probes

[grizzled frost]

that's usually because you stick something that is a good conductor between those terminals and get burned

[steel umbra]

which models

[spring raft]

Skiron MG-F120 D-RGB

[buoyant bridge]

my 5.9 has a VCM failure and caught fire due to it because dual 12V batteries being shorted is a lot of power

[grizzled frost]

your body might not conduct 12v, but the ring you're wearing happily will, and will burn the fuck out of your finger

[steel umbra]

anyways, just don’t approach 120V with wet hands at all, ever. and 230V do not approach at all (in a risky position)

[buoyant bridge]

Not that kind of nasty shit but they can certainly catch things on fire or even melt them

[grizzled frost]

Mhm

You can melt a screwdriver with it

Fun experiment for the kids (please don't do this)

[buoyant bridge]

having a ring or a watch melted on your arm or hand is still dangerous as fuck, having tools melt while holding them is too, all electricity is dangerous follow basic safety measures please for your own sake

[tall jetty]

cuz they have higher amps

[rigid fjord]

parallel or serial connection for the 12 batteries?

[grizzled frost]

Also just cause something says 12v, doesn't mean it is 12v

[steel umbra]

well, 12V, if the screwdriver has a resistance of just few mOhms, that’s calling for few hundred or thousands of amps

[latent gull]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-no-nonono-noooo-cat-no-gif-9360083726644374992

[grizzled frost]

I have a shitty 12v PSU i pulled out of a projector that leaks 120v

[tribal briar]

It’s usually more

[buoyant bridge]

Parallel I run diesels

[grizzled frost]

Don't ask me how i found that out

[latent gull]

Silicon rings

[rigid fjord]

70Ah + batteries right?

[buoyant bridge]

General rule of thumb for labels is if it doesn't say "MAX" it's nominal voltage while if it says "MAX" it's the max voltage

[grizzled frost]

Kidding, i've yet to be shocked by 120v

[buoyant bridge]

a 14.4V MAX and 12V pack run the same voltages

[grizzled frost]

Most i've been shocked by is 12v

[rigid fjord]

was it a gigabyte one?

[grizzled frost]

I plan to keep it that way

[latent gull]

12v wasn’t bad but I did it in the middle of the night and it lit up the house like the middle of the day :)

[grizzled frost]

Ancient projector my theater inherited from a church that was no longer functional, and was destined for the trash

[buoyant bridge]

psure that truck had dual 74ah yeah

[grizzled frost]

So i ripped it a part to get a look at it's innards, and i wanted the PSU for some funny things

(It had been de-energized for several months)

[latent gull]

https://tenor.com/view/marvel-is-it-though-thor-bruce-banner-gif-14242312

[tribal briar]

Fun fact be careful when unplugging stuff dont touch the prongs

[grizzled frost]

Given i watched it sit on a shelf in a locked room only i had access to, Yes.

[sleek remnant]

bruh i had cpu on 103%

[steel umbra]

1.3V battery + copper wire
see what happens when you bridge the battery :-> (fire)

[buoyant bridge]

in all honesty follow basic safety when working with electricity if you fail to do so it's at your own risk

[grizzled frost]

If you don't know how to do something safely when working with electricity, don't work with it at all

[tribal briar]

I saw at 107 a few days ago

[buoyant bridge]

realistically it's not that they don't know how to it's that they ignore doing so

[steel umbra]

i put my finger at the two prongs and now i have a sausage, what’s my treatment for that

[rigid fjord]

so 12v 148Ah then in that setup, yeah that can do some damage in the wrong hands

[sleek remnant]

i5 14600k btw

[grizzled frost]

And yes, "oh i'll just take a quick peek then throw it away" counts

[buoyant bridge]

I've changed outlets with the wires energized, is this dangerous? Yes. Can you do it? You shouldn't

[steel umbra]

why

[buoyant bridge]

its quicker and I'm so used to doing it + my house has pvc outlet boxes

[tribal briar]

The computer had something’s going on

[grizzled frost]

I was terminating a NEMA 5-15R cable that went through the wall into another room and plugged into the receptacle, i had to make sure everyone in the other room knew that if they plugged in the cable i'd beat them into a pulp

(long story why i was pulling power from another room via an extension cable)

[rigid fjord]

you should get it to show all cores not the average of them all combined

[buoyant bridge]

Oh if you're working around other people you gotta fucking lock out tag out shit atp

[grizzled frost]

Not that kind of work environment

[grizzled frost]

Volunteer theater, lockout tagout isn't a thing that exists in the building

[buoyant bridge]

my employees are dumb so we just put padlocks on ALL unplugged cables now because we've had a non zero amount of incidents of people plugging things in that need to not be plugged in

[tribal briar]

We just setting up the gpus to work

[grizzled frost]

Luckily i work with people that know when to stop acting like dumbasses

[steel umbra]

opening up a psu after it was just unplugged from power seems like walk in the park compared to wiring up live wired
and you know how it goes when someone asks about openin a psu

[buoyant bridge]

only managers have keys for them, does it slow things down? Yeah it'll cost you like 5-10 mins at most but it's saved my ass from liability

[rigid fjord]

yes but you want it like so when it comes to cpu's

[steel umbra]

i wouldn’t 100% rely on breakers

[grizzled frost]

Anyone that fails to follow safety guidelines gets removed, immediately

[sleek remnant]

bruh once pc couldnt read something, it was 0.00 GHz

[grizzled frost]

Can't listen to basic instructions to not touch something? Cool you're not allowed back

[buoyant bridge]

we had someone plug in a trucks block heater while the glow plugs where out and burn themselves

[grizzled frost]

KiRaShi! Hiya!

[rigid fjord]

they win darwin awards instead

[formal sonnet]

Now, if only there were an OSHA / WorkSafe program, but for protecting our personal information from gross negligence... 🤣 (Which I guess is just another form of safety?)

[buoyant bridge]

that is why extension cords now have locks on them and various other things have locks on them, if it goes into an outlet put a lock on it after disconnecting it that's company policy

[grizzled frost]

Sometimes their stupidity results in putting others at risk

[rigid fjord]

so, hippa?

[steel umbra]

naww personal information in the last place, gotta support the poor companies, cybersecurity too expensive

[buoyant bridge]

sadly I have state contracts and have to hire felons and other people that aren't really making wise decisions (I've had some pretty good workers who where former felons not dogging on all y'all) that will just ignore safety guidelines and I can't just directly fire them for it

[grizzled frost]

I like reminding people anytime they see those "silly" workplace safety videos that seem unrealistic, that if it's oddly specific, it's because someone did just that

[rigid fjord]

basic health and safety there tbh, aka my health your safety

[grizzled frost]

One of the only times I yell at work is when people are endangering themselves

[formal sonnet]

Sort of. One that covers everything, not just the healthcare industry. You leak my email? That's a paddlin. You leak my health data? Paddlin right away. You leak my payment information? Believe it or not, paddlin. You plug in the other end of an "electrical wire" that was clearly LoTo'd with rad labels everywhere? Straight to paddlin right away.

[buoyant bridge]

"please do not move vehicles which have been tagged out, they cannot steer properly and you don't know how to move them"

[spring raft]

Does anyone know if a 4pack of Phanteks Skiron MG-F120 D-RGB for $30 is a good price?

[buoyant bridge]

I have had FOUR f550s through a fucking garage door 😭 😭

[steel umbra]

if they do have review/s for cfm, sp, decibels, sound profile

[formal sonnet]

This is why Forklift Driver Klaus exists.

[frigid blade]

60db idle

[steel umbra]

i thought 105db

[buoyant bridge]

this is why Stubb's McGee exists

[rigid fjord]

this is why natural selection should still be allowed

[steel umbra]

an intelligent person can make a single huge mistake that of a monke

[rigid fjord]

an intelligent person also sees someone do something stupidly dumb and goes "not today"

[buoyant bridge]

This is why we have safety procedures

[rigid fjord]

and so many warning labels

[buoyant bridge]

To prevent you from accidentally making a mistake even if you knew better, they're so overly complicated because they're made in such ways you can't just fuck the up with one small mishap most of the time

[rigid fjord]

can guarantee each warning label only came about due to certain people, either named brad, steve, carl or earl

[formal sonnet]

Y'all have procedures? 😅 Wait, a set of tasks passed down verbally from person to person over 30-50 years of company operation count as procedures... Right? C'mon help me out here.

[buoyant bridge]

I had to pay some guy to come in and design safety procedures for the vehicle bays and the loading docks because I had so many mishaps at them

[rigid fjord]

did they start with "yo, fuckwits, listen here, don't do this, this and that" ?

[buoyant bridge]

the most cost efficient and honestly morally best way is to just have a professional design safety procedures for things you don't have competent staff to write them

Would I like to have all competent staff? Yes I would love to!!! Can I have all competent staff!!! No because I can't turn down people because of their criminal record!!

[rigid fjord]

something something designs and something something better idiots coming along

[buoyant bridge]

The only recent mishaps we've had are people smacking vehicles into things when the vehicles where tagged out because they had screwed up steering from being off road 24/7

[formal sonnet]

Lol. No. And luckily we stick to our department, but... It bleeds into too many other places, so eventually we're forced to be involved, lest another department rush out and buy XYZ thing for ABC task ... Without considering how any other department that also needs to do 123 tasks in XYZ thing will even be able to use XYZ thing in their specific office. Can you spell Needs Assessment?

[rigid fjord]

K.I.S.S is only a thing because idiots exist everywhere

[rigid fjord]

especially if brad from accounting is near by

[formal sonnet]

Spot on. What you really need is a joint venture between a handful of staff and an outside firm that specializes in whatever you're trying to achieve. And for your own staff you want a mix of tenure from various departments, some of whom don't even regularly interact. It's the only way to design an effective system as thoroughly as possible. And even then, nothing's perfect.

[buoyant bridge]

I just let the lower management staff and the outside people coordinate together it's ended up pretty effective and safe

[stark kiln]

Texting a girl I like rn. Should I tell her my political opinion on NYC mayoral candidates and who should win?

[rigid fjord]

@formal sonnet how many peeps have you seen that you instantly think "the light's are on but no fucker's home" when you see them?

[rigid fjord]

only if you want her to go dryer than the sahara and avoid you

[thorny saddle]

My boy cat is this

[rigid fjord]

so, you have an orange cat

[thorny saddle]

No

[onyx cobalt]

I think this is my first message here, might be wrong. but thanks

[formal sonnet]

My lawyer has advised me not to answer this question. But I also must remember that me brain is very... In tune with everything going on around me, including things that most people would pay no mind to.

[stark kiln]

Damn it so I can't tell her why [insert a political figure] is bad and [political figure 2] is good

[sleek ibex]

All politicians bad

Thank you for listening to my TedTalk

[fallow yacht]

what dns do y'all use

[thorny saddle]

public dns

[ocean summit]

eh

[formal sonnet]

Depends on the device. Windows devices on my home network? Quad9, Cloudflare, Google, in that order. Android devices, like phones or tablets, on WiFi or cellular networks? adblock.dns.mullvad.net
https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls

[ocean summit]

the stock one

[fallow yacht]

sad that i use an iphone

[stoic nova]

Google if whatever isp sets for DHCP shits the bed

[ocean summit]

noads.libredns.gr

[fallow yacht]

nvm there's a guide

[mint umbra]

Need to buy a new secret lab chair

Mines getting worn out

[ocean summit]

why that one specifically

[stoic nova]

Do you need to get new socks if your socks have a hole in it

No not really.

[ocean summit]

ive been using the same one for the past 10 years

[mint umbra]

Cuz they are better than other gaming chairs

[ocean summit]

and before that it was my dads

[ocean summit]

what makes them better

serious question

[stoic nova]

The feeling of support-
.
.
.-ing the brand that sponsors his favorite creators

[ocean summit]

so it doesn't matter

[stoic nova]

God knows it doesn't support where it needs to

[mint umbra]

It has better support for my back than other gaming chairs as I find are too small

[fallow yacht]

won't using a different dns on my phone cause bufferbloat

[ocean summit]

180 euros

[formal sonnet]

First time I've heard of such things. (I know what bufferbloat is; I mean using a DNS causing it...)

[mint umbra]

Has has wide variety of adjustments

[fallow yacht]

yeah it seems to be conflicting with the one in my router

[stoic nova]

Bro something about roaming cellular doesnt mesh well with static ips

[formal sonnet]

If you override the DNS on your device... why would it be using your router's?

[fallow yacht]

or maybe it's just youtube app

[mint umbra]

Doesn't look comfortable

[fallow yacht]

nvm it works

[ocean summit]

why not?

[fallow yacht]

yeah it's just the youtube app mb

sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't

but few is better than none

[mint umbra]

Looks like it's more about style than comfort

And too much leather

Would just sweat in it all day lol

[thorny saddle]

this is whats up

[mint umbra]

That shit is Overpriced

Tried it and it was giving me back pain lol

[ocean summit]

meh

[mint umbra]

Back pain for 2k

These high end Ergonomic for like 2k chairs are a marketing scam

[stoic nova]

Balla, shotcalla

20 inch blades on the impala

[formal sonnet]

Herman Miller, my beloved. But only if you buy refurbished (half price) or steal one from work.

[thorny saddle]

def not

[mint umbra]

Yes it is lol

[thorny saddle]

yeah no logitech series at work lol

[stoic nova]

Of course posture gives you back pain initially

[sleek ibex]

There's a reason my Google has metric fuckton of them in the offices

[thorny saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-okay-ok-oh-sad-tears-gif-18296782631932096315

[mint umbra]

Mate that shit ain't worth 2k

You can find a chair just as comfortable for even half that

[stoic nova]

Eh....it's the embody. It's like the 5090 of chairs

[formal sonnet]

Objectively, kind of true. Subjectively, mostly not true. If it weren't "worth it" then people wouldn't buy it.

[stoic nova]

You don't need a 5090. You can still play Fortnite on a 5060ti

[thorny saddle]

I'd pay $3k for it

[clear canyon]

Gt210

[stoic nova]

Id finance it over 2 years

[clear canyon]

What about 4k?

[thorny saddle]

Best chair I have sat in, and I have owned plenty $1,000+ chairs

[stoic nova]

Steelcase Karman tho....

[thorny saddle]

Hmmm I'd have to think about it

[stoic nova]

That's the..
Object of obsession lately

[mint umbra]

Ppl buy lots of stupid things

[stoic nova]

Like gaming chairs

[thorny saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/the-big-lebowski-thats-like-your-opinion-man-gif-15076479

[mint umbra]

My gaming chair was more comfortable than the embody

That shit hurt my lower back

[thorny saddle]

That's a great story

[sleek ibex]

Folks buy high end hardware... Buying a chair in that range shouldn't be that far fetched

[mint umbra]

You paying money for the brand

[thorny saddle]

No I am paying money for my back not hurting

[stoic nova]

Chairs at least dont have yearly iterations that depreciate harder than milk

[mint umbra]

Could be done with half the prices there's plenty of good chairs they don't cost 2k

[stoic nova]

Sure there is

[clear canyon]

Bucket

[stoic nova]

Lawn chair gaming

[thorny saddle]

You realize i could have bought any chair right?

But I bought the one that most comfortable - I work in the chair 7 days a week without issue, its life changing

[formal sonnet]

This we can agree on. 6000sqft homes, $100,000 sports cars, 5 yachts, and even friends & family.

[stoic nova]

Was the Karman out when you were shopping for the embody

[thorny saddle]

yes i got this one in May 2025

[formal sonnet]

Back to chairs... I used to work somewhere that sold a LOT of chairs - everything from $50 "side of the road" specials to $450 "Tempur Pedic" and "Sealy" endorsed models. Know what I found? Every. Single. Person. Has different sitting needs. What chair works for one person may not work for anyone else.

At the end of the day, the best chair is the one you can afford that doesn't cause your back to feel like Panel 4 of that specific Sarah Anderson comic after only 6 months of use.

[thorny saddle]

My wife has a steelcase gesture and I don't care for it

[stark kiln]

I gotta figure out how to connect my PC to my laptop screen

[stoic nova]

We're you able to sit in the embody / a variety of high end first

[sleek ibex]

KiRaShi spitting as the kewl kids would say

[stoic nova]

Or was it just banked on a return window

[thorny saddle]

Yes we have like 3 different $1500 chairs in our house

I also live near a place that stocks Embody which is why I went with it

[stoic nova]

He got that local hermano dealer

[thorny saddle]

Design Within Reach is the store

[formal sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/starship-troopers-doing-my-part-stoked-team-teamwork-gif-5546341

[sleek ibex]

[ocean summit]

why not just do back workouts

[stoic nova]

Did you get the car dealership experience

[thorny saddle]

DWR has HM, Hay, etc.

[thorny saddle]

What do you mean?

[mint umbra]

That doesn't stop a chair from hurting

[stoic nova]

Hard to describe. Showroom. Selecting trim. Optionals. Then financing incentives

[ocean summit]

meh simple solution get up from chair

[stoic nova]

Like a rebate

[sleek ibex]

Was azizi born with severe back ailments?

[thorny saddle]

This kind of store people don't finance a $2k chair...

[sleek ibex]

[thorny saddle]

We are returning customers to DWR

[stoic nova]

Lmfao the sofa and mattress places always do this

In fact they assume it

[thorny saddle]

I mean I'd gladly take 0% financing, but they don't really offer that in this type of place

[ocean summit]

that shit look expensive for like no reason

[stoic nova]

I take it more of a....commercial fleet boutique kinda deal then

Yeah you ain't getting no discounts

[thorny saddle]

🤷‍♂️ I am in that chair from 8AM until 5-6PM every MON-FRI and often SAT-SUN, and it looks the same as the day I got it and my back pain is gone

[thorny saddle]

DWR?

[stoic nova]

Think of it like the 5090 of chairs.

[ocean summit]

I know what it is

I just don't see the point

[stoic nova]

It looks expensive for a few reasons

[ocean summit]

yes

[stoic nova]

That back is obviously engineered

To a ludicrous degree

[ocean summit]

marketing jargon

[thorny saddle]

@stoic nova DWR is like... they have valet parking

[ocean summit]

so what they got a back scan of 1000 people and averaged out the difference
between them and decided yep this is the exact curve so peak comfort

[stoic nova]

I've seen furniture stores catered to walk in customers and assume you're financing. And I've seen furniture stores that don't give a f about the public cause they make money filling up offices. But never seen a furniture store do this

[thorny saddle]

There is a difference between "making an office chair" and designing something that is for posture - there's science in it

[ocean summit]

tell me about it

[thorny saddle]

Its high end

[stoic nova]

That's the thing is. It's modular

[fallow yacht]

tf is happening

[ocean summit]

nothing

just press back

[fallow yacht]

was talking abt the display glitching

[ocean summit]

oh

vram instabillity

[thorny saddle]

@stoic nova if you know you know

[ocean summit]

or core

[stoic nova]

Herman Miller also has a 8 year warranty. 2g ain't that bad

[ocean summit]

that's vague

[thorny saddle]

what is vague

[ocean summit]

this

[thorny saddle]

what's vague about it

[ocean summit]

your not explaining to me the difference between this and my 10 year old one besides oh its adjustable or oh it has a warranty

[thorny saddle]

its actually not that adjustable

it self adjusts in its design

[stoic nova]

How do you feel about the Dyson V15 being $850

They're luxury products

[ocean summit]

piece of plastic

[stoic nova]

To add another point

[thorny saddle]

I don't own a vacuum

I have a small canister vacuum and I have a shop vac

[stoic nova]

Priorities ig

[thorny saddle]

I pay for someone to vacuum lol

[ocean summit]

I have alot of thoughts about them

[stoic nova]

Mf

[ocean summit]

its complicated

[stoic nova]

Are you still failing to understand why it's valued this way

[ocean summit]

yes

[sleek ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/thriller-michael-jackson-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-5577709

[stoic nova]

Or just trying to pass a personal philosophy

Because you seem to get why things cost a lot

[ocean summit]

yes

[stoic nova]

There we go

[ocean summit]

because people will buy it

[thorny saddle]

Things cost whatever people are willing to pay

[ocean summit]

yep

[thorny saddle]

Would you pay $250k for a 35' long bathtub with an engine?

[ocean summit]

no

[stoic nova]

Outside my tax bracket

Can't relate

[thorny saddle]

And meanwhile I thought mine was a good deal lol

[ocean summit]

we both know its way more detailed than that

[thorny saddle]

no not really

Something is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay no more no less

[ocean summit]

nvm im being to much again

anyway

[thorny saddle]

RPL?

[ocean summit]

14900k

[thorny saddle]

yeah thats RPL

[ocean summit]

yea

[thorny saddle]

I had an exceptional bin one

SP107

[thorny saddle]

I should have kept it but I let it go

[thorny saddle]

It ran 6.0 GHz all core

[ocean summit]

sp 101

[thorny saddle]

at like.... stupid low voltage

It was only able to do like 8400-8600 CL36 though

In the pursuit of 9000 M/Ts I sold it for ARL

[ocean summit]

yea i never got that far I killed this one and the board before i got a chance to do anything else

[ocean summit]

dextro to me meant dextromorphine

[ocean summit]

oh my discord instantly poped up with that

[ocean summit]

sorry

[buoyant bridge]

The concept of having a actual cooling system is made up you can inevitably throw enough low speed fans and metal at it to cool it

[ocean summit]

you got it hooked up tru Bluetooth

[buoyant bridge]

that's ipmi

[ocean summit]

i got no clue what that is

i only overclock

I recently got a 7600x3d will I see much of a FPS increase over my I9 9900k with my RTX 3080?

[random gyro]

i have one

its fire so far

[solar moat]

whats not running well

[random gyro]

it pairs with my 9060XT 16gb

[vital mist]

Games wise?

[solar moat]

yes

9900k still kicks ass in most games

unless your doing thing like runninng ddr3 speed ram on it

or missconfiged it

[vital mist]

3000MT

[solar moat]

kind of slow

[shadow zealot]

someone help math isnt mathing

[solar moat]

even before assuming the timings are shit

[solar moat]

whats not mathing

[solar moat]

that math adds up

[ivory mountain]

what im gathering is that ur gpu has 2gb of vram

probably an igpu

[shadow zealot]

0.7 dedicated + 0.1 shared = 0.9 what

[shadow zealot]

no nvidia 940mx

[vital mist]

Should I cancel my order because I had to order it from ebay as I dont have a micro center near me. I still can

[solar moat]

last i check 749+149=898 and cant you do rounding

[shadow zealot]

oh

[rigid fjord]

so as you're not #1, you don't matter then?

[ivory mountain]

exactly see u get it

[stable beacon]

tell me how these bsod windows pop up

shouldnt they just freeze and die

[rigid fjord]

it be mathing but the usages be like jjtby is saying

[shadow zealot]

nice

[shadow zealot]

my work laptop cpu

[rigid fjord]

when the ipc is better on the 7730u

[shadow zealot]

what is ipc

[pale flint]

2018 vs 2023

[shadow zealot]

yeah fair enough

but for 15 watts is crazier and i get like 12-13 hrs battery life

[rain granite]

anyone know after i had a complete pc freeze and restarted my pc was slow as fuck also why does my bios settings open everytime i shutdown and restart?? It recently has happened after changing my GPU to a 5060

[rigid fjord]

instructions per clock

[shadow zealot]

what that do

[rigid fjord]

it's basically how many commands a second or there about it can process

[shadow zealot]

so r7 7730u has better ipc than the 9900k

[rigid fjord]

yes

[solar moat]

is that vs one runing shit setting or good settings

[shadow zealot]

damm

[shadow zealot]

what

[solar moat]

since you can easy have 30% perfomince change from setting things wrong on the 9900k

[rigid fjord]

generally newer cpu's have better ipc's over older ones though other factors can come into play

[solar moat]

to the point its slower then my daily 4790k

[shadow zealot]

still better than my i5

[solar moat]

what i5?

[shadow zealot]

6200u

[solar moat]

well that was ass when it came out

[stable beacon]

i was debating throwing my money to a 9060 or a 9070 until i realized i had to save my car stuff first 💀

[shadow zealot]

ik

ive been using it since 2016

daily

along with 940mx

pretty shit but who cares i can get 180 fps in minecraft and 50 fps in gta 1080p medium

[solar moat]

is that with mods on minecraft?

[shadow zealot]

yes ofc

or else id be getting like 50

[solar moat]

my cpu is a few gens older and getting over 200 with 32 chunk render disatance

[shadow zealot]

u have better gpu mine shit

my gpu is limiting factor

[solar moat]

its still maxwell

[grizzled frost]

chunk render is mostly CPU funnily enough

[shadow zealot]

yeah if only it had a 1660

i could be getting nice fps

[grizzled frost]

you can find them for less than 100usd on ebay

[shadow zealot]

i have a laptop

not a pc

[grizzled frost]

ouch

[pale flint]

i get like 80 fps on 32 render with shaders

[solar moat]

my pc is on fire with shaders

[pale flint]

not in my case tbh

i cam lower render if it ever struggles

but modded is laggy tho

[shadow zealot]

i get like 60 fps with potato shaders on my laptop

[pale flint]

render?

[shadow zealot]

16

[pale flint]

f

[shadow zealot]

more than enough

[pale flint]

12 is playable tho

i have played on 40 fps no shaders and like 6 render

igpu

[shadow zealot]

guys i added mods to my other laptop with i5 8265u with igpu and superflat world and lowered everything and reached 870fps

minimized

[solar moat]

? thats worse then my igpu from 2013

[shadow zealot]

amd cpu?

[pale flint]

amd athon 2 core cpu with 4gb ram of which 2.3-5 was already used

[pale flint]

yes sir

old and got some beefy gpu

amd*

typos 😡

[shadow zealot]

ik it i have a r7 7730u with igpu gets 180-200fps with modded minecraft

at 20 chunks

[pale flint]

mine was laptop

yet i enjoyed playing games on it more

[shadow zealot]

mines also a laptop

[pale flint]

hmm

amd a6-9225

this is the cpu

[shadow zealot]

compared to the cpu's i have

[solar moat]

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/773vs2556vs143/Intel-i5-760-vs-Intel-i5-6200U-vs-AMD-Athlon-II-X2-270

[solar moat]

my mothers pc still run i5 760

and amd athlon II x2 270 is worse pc i used windose 11 on and some games if they opend

[shadow zealot]

Anyone able to help me out real quick? I'm currently upgrading my pc, my TUF gaming B650E-E has this m.2 heat sink. How should I install it? Neither of the screws on the heat sink fully come off, so I just don't use the m.2 screw I have there currently?

[formal sonnet]

You remove the screw holding down the M.2 drive now, and instead use the heatsink.

[unique geyser]

Ty let me try, the MB instructions are a bit confusing

Cool it looks secured now, ty @formal sonnet

[trail forum]

How should I cable manage this

Like idk if I need to remove that ziptie

[woven wigeon]

why does my laptop smell like nail polish for a few minutes after i turn it on when i get back from school

[pale flint]

well i played games on that btw

even minecraft

[timber elk]

oh nice

[pale flint]

it ran 🏃‍♂️

anyways

i have crashed it trying to play forza horizon 5 demo on it

idk why i thought it would work

[glacial kraken]

Is there a way for me to use my broken old phone as a camera to record video?

[stable beacon]

what kind

[glacial kraken]

z flip 3

[stable beacon]

"old" 💀

i thought we were talking iphone 5 but im sure there's some connectivity app

i dont use ndroid but tbh i wish i did

[glacial kraken]

not old old but like my phone i used to have

the middle of the screen if fucked but now it has a working touchscreen randomly when it didnt before

wait no top half doesnt work

either way i can still use it

[trail forum]

Having trouble trying to plug the usb3 header in hmm

Idk I don’t really wanna bend the cable

[timber elk]

NEIN

[glacial kraken]

i need to get a new phone

[valid fiber]

what is this obsession with cable management that everyone seems to have

[glacial kraken]

how does the new zflip seem durability and long term wise

[valid fiber]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XZMnc6MDhA

[glacial kraken]

i have never heard of this brand

im not buying my phone from aliexpress 💀

[valid fiber]

it would also be on amazon/ebay

but it's probably not for you anyway

[glacial kraken]

i doubt it

my current phone breaks if i turn on android auto

or if i open two apps or a bunch of other stuff

[valid fiber]

have you tried to backup your data and do a factory reset?

[glacial kraken]

nah

it is a cheap ass phone

it is just low qaulity

[valid fiber]

still if it's otherwise good enough for what you do there is no reason not to try it

[glacial kraken]

i can get a new one for chritsmass

[glacial kraken]

given it cant do what i do i dont think it is

it cant use social media and make calls/texts consistently

its useable but it isnt nice ot use

[valid fiber]

when it comes to phones I've gone down the rabbit hole of big batteries

[glacial kraken]

christ

i was thinking a samsung or pixel

[rigid fjord]

feed it through this gap

[stray portal]

Nice

[pale flint]

just buy non folding phone

cheaper and better

[woven wigeon]

they scrath at a lv 3-4

a tablet or sum would be prob better

[pale flint]

yes

[woven wigeon]

and a smartphone to pair with

[pale flint]

and no...

if you want a phone. buy a phone

there is no reason to turn your phone into a table thats not really a tablet

[woven wigeon]

yeah

[pale flint]

my boss has a folding phone, i find it useless

[woven wigeon]

and also arent foldable phones more expensive than the flagship ones

[pale flint]

thats why i said cheaper and better

[woven wigeon]

a flagship phone would be better

and also some phones have thunderbolt support

[pale flint]

flagship phones offer better stuff than folding phones for cheaper price

[woven wigeon]

so plug into a thunderbolt dock and theres ur big screen + good proccesing power

[pale flint]

yeah

[woven wigeon]

no need for a laptop

all ur work in your pocket

[pale flint]

hmmmm

laptop is another thing

your phone cant be laptop

[formal sonnet]

Depends entirely on the phone. My Razr Plus 2024 was only $1K CAD, and it's not a "flagship" at all. That said, I don't game or even watch videos on my phone, so my usage is likely lighter than most people? IDK.

[woven wigeon]

im talking abt samsung phones

[formal sonnet]

Oh, I didn't see the word Samsung referenced anywhere so it's likely best you specify next time. 🤷

[woven wigeon]

fair

not the fold the flip

[kindred halo]

https://youtu.be/1XXaXc2FSOE?si=TyhXJKTdR1uJLsSy

Best budget case I've seen yet

Decent looking build quality, fans are actually named models with decent max RPM, built in ARGB hub

USB-C & 2x USB 3.0

Not to mention the actually good depth on the back?? For cable management??

This thing is $42 btw

I am selling my case and getting this

[chilly gorge]

does anyone know if its better for display or gpu scaling

[ebon marlin]

gugugaga

[pale flint]

alr

it was just a suggestion

[glacial kraken]

ik ik

[pale flint]

but yeah

non folding one are better

[glacial kraken]

Idk my phone rn always falls from my pockets

and it is all dinged up

[pale flint]

get better clothes

i look for a zipper pocket while buying clothes

[pale flint]

yeah i also have to be careful sometimes

[glacial kraken]

school unifrom

[pale flint]

uniform

havent seen that in years

i dont like school uniforms

[glacial kraken]

most shorts dont have zipprs

at least mine dont

[pale flint]

welp

[glacial kraken]

why

[pale flint]

i just dont

casual clothes better

wear whatever you want

and i like how my friends judged anyone well dressed
"wtf you dressed for bro, you'r at school"

[glacial kraken]

lol

idk i dont really care clothes are clothes yk

[pale flint]

wake up, wash face, wear anything you lay eyes on and walk to bus stop

[pale flint]

still i dont like uniform

[glacial kraken]

fair enough

i dont like wearing a blazer but thats only in winter

[pale flint]

when i was in india my school forced me to wear shoes in a fucking 45C summer all while the only way of cooling was fans which also wasnt available most of the time because power cuts cuz india 😃 👍

and on top of that i had some problem with my feet

[pale flint]

never wore one

no matters how hard they tried i didnt

[glacial kraken]

i will get detention so

[pale flint]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[glacial kraken]

damn.

[pale flint]

i paid to study there

[glacial kraken]

my parents pay a lot for schooling aswell

[pale flint]

well

we simply told them that i wont come to school if they force me to wear shoes

🤣

they said yes

then i came to greece

no uniform and we have holidys in summer

[glacial kraken]

we have holidays in summer aswell

[pale flint]

nice

[glacial kraken]

2 months

[pale flint]

we have 3 months

[glacial kraken]

we 4 holidays, one between each term

[pale flint]

we barely go to school in summer

just in the start and end of summer

[kindred halo]

The first two months of school are pretty much summer

[pale flint]

eh not much

[kindred halo]

9 months of school from late August, till June iirc

Here atleast

[pale flint]

weather has been quiet cold here for like a month since school opened

[kindred halo]

Fucking 35-40° C, atleast we have both t-shirts and formal shirts for uniforms

[pale flint]

and in the winter is just all warm inside

[pale flint]

bruh

[kindred halo]

In here it's like schrodinger's weather

[pale flint]

well i think they do this because they dont wana to spend money on AC's

[kindred halo]

I turn the fan on at 1-2 and put on a blanket before sleeping lmao

[pale flint]

and since summer doesnt really last long

[glacial kraken]

I finish school december 5th and start at the start of jan

[pale flint]

1 month

[glacial kraken]

so most of summer

[glacial kraken]

oops sorry i meant end of jan

[pale flint]

you live in aus?

[odd fiber]

I'm in the process of building a PC for gaming and found out that Windows 11 is a nightmare. I plan on playing a variety of games, as well as modding games. How much of a headache will it be for me to transition to a linux based OS like bazzite?

[glacial kraken]

yes

[pale flint]

why is win 11 a nightmare?

[pale flint]

understandable

lucky me who didnt have to deal with uniforms anymore

[odd fiber]

More susceptible Malware/Viruses, tracking/spyware, recall/copilot, forced updates, adds, no uninstalling, and potentially Microsoft making gaming on windows VERY inconvenient at best(in the future)

[glacial kraken]

lol

[glacial kraken]

did you have a sport and a normal uniform

[pale flint]

i have no dealt any of these

copilot is disabled

no virus unless you like to visit unknown corn sites or pirating sites

[odd fiber]

https://youtu.be/eZ5R5vWnnAY?si=k08MVXp89g9bu-v0

[unkempt blaze]

win 10 updates support ended, does this mean we cant game anymore on it? like if games in a few years will not support it, etc?

[pale flint]

you will find many videos like this

someone is hating on windows 11 and someone is telling you to go back to win 98

[odd fiber]

You can still use it, but you need to pay like 30 dollars a month for security updates

[trail forum]

What pcie cable do I use to plug into my motherboard and psu

[odd fiber]

They're saying to switch to a linux based OS

[trail forum]

It’s a corsair rm850x

[pale flint]

you will not get any updates rearting device security which i guess has been extended by 1 year in europe?

[pale flint]

idl bro do whatever you want

do what you want, dont listen to those videos

[unkempt blaze]

Ehh I just use malware bytes, dont really cared about windows defender and its security features

[pale flint]

you can find videos hating linux

what are you gonna do?
use steam os?

[unkempt blaze]

time to use tiny10

[pale flint]

i mean getting a virus is your own fault in most cases

[unkempt blaze]

true

[odd fiber]

Honestly it seems like it

[pale flint]

do it

[odd fiber]

B/c I'm not really a fan of linux either

[unkempt blaze]

tbh i just want a really debloated windows that's all. nothing extra, just my apps and some games i want, nothing else

[ebon marlin]

Windows defender is better though

[pale flint]

linus is sad

[brave brook]

you are joking right ? They are called PCIe cable because they are for PCIe devices, not motherboard

[trail forum]

No I’m new to building lmao

[ebon marlin]

Just use windows 11 pro Workstation comes out of the box as debloated already

That's what I use

[brave brook]

you use the 24-pin cable for the big connector, and EPS (4 or 4+4 pin) for the connector at top of the motherboard.

[ebon marlin]

And I don't have to risk using custom ISO's that could potentially have malware in them

[odd fiber]

idc about linus apparently there was some controversy surrounding him but it doesn't matter to me I'm just here for advice

[trail forum]

I’ve managed to plug in my 8pin and 24pin so far

[unkempt blaze]

eats ram and disk usage lol. whenever i fresh install windows, i always run a script to delete windows defender completely

[pale flint]

huh

[trail forum]

The 8 pin I didn’t need to split was already attached

[pale flint]

anyways bro you aint safe anywhere

[odd fiber]

Some of his videos are useful though so I will give him that

[ebon marlin]

What it eats in system resources is very negligible unless you're using 10+ year old hardware

[brave brook]

the PCIe power connector choice depends on what your graphics card needs

[pale flint]

if you'r force installing stuff from some unknown sites aint no os helping you with that

[odd fiber]

It's not merely about safety(but that's important.)

[pale flint]

win 11 is convenient for me

[ebon marlin]

I had a Huawei Matebook 14 recently with a 10th gen i5 and 8gb of ram and it ran windows 11 home flawlessly

[ebon marlin]

With the bloat aswell

[pale flint]

i didnt like it when i switched from win 10 but i got used to it

[ebon marlin]

The bloat is negligible on modern hardware

[pale flint]

ever seen those videos " 🤓 erm windows 7 is better than 10 or 11"

[ebon marlin]

Also disk usage is irrelevant unless you're still running harddrives in the big 2025

[ebon marlin]

Windows 7 and 10 are both ass

[pale flint]

my school did

[odd fiber]

I do plan on using a AMD cpu and GPU so that wouldn't be an issue for me if I use linux

[brave brook]

i don't understand most of W11 hate, it can be configured mostly to look same as W10 for the most part 🤷‍♂️

[unkempt blaze]

well im gaming and window defender is at 100% disk usage scanning files? lol

ryzen 5600x, 6700xt, NVME, 16 ram

and it starts stuttering

[brave brook]

never had that happen to me

[pale flint]

my school's pc had 1tb hard drive as boot device and one shitass teacher came and updated it to windows 11 and said "i have same speed on my computer"
?? bro what???

[ebon marlin]

100% disk usage only happens to harddrives

You can rarely ever see 100% disk usage on an nvme

[brave brook]

also youcan just add game folders to ignore list

[pale flint]

idk

[pale flint]

only when epic download/update something 😍

[unkempt blaze]

16gb ram, windows 11. already 50% used lol. wtf

[pale flint]

yeah same for me

[ebon marlin]

Use Edge instead

[pale flint]

it was*
now i got 32

[ebon marlin]

Edge is one of the better chromium browsers

Doesn't eat as much ram

[pale flint]

just set default browser to chrome

[ebon marlin]

My current gaming laptop is weak as hell and still no issues with running windows 11 and games

12450hx and Rtx 2050

No issues whatsoever

[ebon marlin]

Chrome is hot garbage

[pale flint]

i got 3 profiles of edge sitting on task bar

[pale flint]

search engine

[ebon marlin]

Eh for a search engine it's fine

[pale flint]

i mean google as search engine

[brave brook]

caching. unused ram is wasted ram

[pale flint]

bing is garbage search engine

most of the time it doesnt show that i search for

[brave brook]

but gives out reward points 😄

[pale flint]

wtf is that

[brave brook]

https://rewards.bing.com/

[pale flint]

what am i gonna do with reward points what i dont get what i searched for

doesnt open

[brave brook]

get gift cards etc

[brave brook]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/rewards/about better ?

[pale flint]

useful

gotta search some useless stuff

btw does that count across different accounts 🤔

should

you shouldn't do it through multiple accounts, they can ban you for that

[pale flint]

30 points per day

[pale flint]

from what

bing?

[brave brook]

at start, then more when you reach level 2, plus various other bonus points over time.

[pale flint]

hmm

[brave brook]

from the rewards system

[pale flint]

but the thing is

what about useless search

i never got to see a single useful result

[brave brook]

well, you don't have to search for anything usefull 😄

[pale flint]

that true

"how many apples did the tree have when apple fell on newton's head"

good question

[ebon marlin]

[pale flint]

wrong

[ebon marlin]

You're wrong

[pale flint]

i am not

i was the tree

[pale flint]

😍

[ebon marlin]

Pal got 3gb of edge

[brave brook]

in my country one can get 30 points from daily set (3 predefined searches), 90 from desktop search, 60 from mobile search, 5-50 bonus points for doing 3 daily searches, 5-50 bonus points for checking in on mobile app, 30 for "news reading". That's 210 total daily for normal tasks, plus the bonus points. For context, you can get a 20 euro gift card for one of the stores for 26.7k points. So about 60 euros per year, but this gift card is one of the worse values actually.

[pale flint]

3 profiles open btw

[brave brook]

(i usually just use the bing points for overwatch coins)

[pale flint]

[ebon marlin]

Pal got 6gb of edge

[pale flint]

sorry cant go beyond that

[gleaming rose]

[ebon marlin]

AMD Ryzen Embedded V1756B

[left trellis]

Not finding many I7 6700 benchmarks and have no clue what relative performance it has

[trail forum]

That’s my gpu it’s a 9070xt

[carmine light]

I got the gaming tv working again

[ebon marlin]

What the fuck is a gaming tv

[brave brook]

so you need three 8-pin PCIe cables, if you can, do it with 3 separate cables, but if that is not possible, then do it with two cables, one with two connectors on it

[lapis lake]

Guyz how to clean a PC that is lil bit dirty

[carmine light]

5 inch > 100x100 pixels black and white crt thats dimmer than a casio watch

[lapis lake]

I think I should wash my cpu 😕 it's looks a bit dirty tbh

[ebon marlin]

Yummy dust

[left trellis]

Is an I7 6700 with 16gb of ram and a 3070 goated

[lapis lake]

Btw spider did a great job designing the perfect web😑

[brave brook]

you care about the dust in the CPU cooler and not the cobweb at bottom ? also not wash, just use air duster

[valid fiber]

looks fine the spiders didn't even reach the cpu yet

[trail forum]

Those are the cables my corsair psu has

All pcie

[valid fiber]

i also had to buy some extra cables for my PSU

[trail forum]

I’ve plugged so far the 24 pin and 8 pin cpu cable into my motherboard

[lapis lake]

I'm thinking about dismantling all the parts and then cleaning everything but I'm afraid to open the cpu cooler as I don't have thermal paste

[valid fiber]

a duster like this is probably good enough to move the problem outside you pc

[carmine light]

Not the biggest monitor ever

[trail forum]

Can someone simplify what the fuck I’m plugging into my
9070xt

I’ve got 4 pcie cables someone’s telling me I need two cables

When the gpu has three connectors

[true stirrup]

Then use 3 cables

[trail forum]

One persons telling me to split 6 + 2 and I’m sitting here thinking huh?

I thought I would’ve had this done 5 hours ago

It’s almost 9pm ughhhh

[brave brook]

you have 8-pin connectors on the card, thus you need 6+2 in one piece

[trail forum]

Don’t I already have though ?

I’ve got the pcie label and the other end says type 4

[left trellis]

Are used 13/14 gen cpus safe, if it works now then is it calm for a while

[brave brook]

you have the cable, but you need to plug in all 8 pins on the card

[trail forum]

So use all three pcie cables in the box

[brave brook]

if you got enough plugs for 3 cables on PSU side, yes, ideally

[trail forum]

Ok I have no clue as to why I was asked to plug in just two

Using this illustration here

Literally that to me makes no sense

[brave brook]

that is because many PSUs have only two PCIe cables, so they show just the common situations. But if you can have one cable per one PCIe power plug, do it that way

[past tartan]

I will build a pc is it worth waiting until Black Friday? Even a 100usd discount like in total would be good for me since the build is like 1100usd

[trail forum]

So this side goes into my graphics card right or no

[brave brook]

yes. All 8 pins. Usually you can't plug it other way around anyway

[past tartan]

Any1 knows?

[trail forum]

All 3 have been connected

[true stirrup]

If you can wait then sure

[trail forum]

So guys do I lay my pc flat and install the cooler now

[past tartan]

Yeah I’m willing to as long as I get a decent enough discount

https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/3m4qC8

[true stirrup]

Yes it's easier that way

[past tartan]

This is the build it’s nothing top tier n my budget isn’t really big so even 50 or 100usd would do me good

[steel umbra]

oops wrong ping

@true stirrup i challenge u to battel of clash royel
i place 1 mini pekka now here

[trail forum]

Hmm am I putting strain on the 24 pin and 8 pin by laying the case flat if they’re not connected to the psu

[true stirrup]

what’s the paste you’re using btw

0.4g is enough btw, just enough to make a thin layer

[trail forum]

The pre applied one from Corsair on the aio

[steel umbra]

ah

[trail forum]

I’m just unsure if I need to take the 24 and 8 pin cables out first

Otherwise i squash them with the case

If I lay it flat I feel

[true stirrup]

Damn you have all the counters

[true stirrup]

It's fine

[steel umbra]

ezzz, plays the crying log emote

[trail forum]

It doesn’t help I can’t put the exposed copper block anywhere to move it

[fallow yacht]

now how tf do i get adblock DoH to work properly cuz it's inconsistent

[true stirrup]

Looks fine to me

[trail forum]

Hope I haven’t fucked my cables by laying them on the back of the case

[steel umbra]

the case and psu, mb aren’t heavy enough

[trail forum]

So for the orientation how is this going to work I feel like I fucked it up but idk

[true stirrup]

Usually the rad would face so the tubing is on the right so you have more space to work with but this is fine as well

[trail forum]

Is that good?

Before I go ahead and screw it in
