[jaunty apex]

Yes. No but yes.

[wheat torrent]

It would be messier

[ocean axle]

[random gyro]

mhm

[ocean axle]

keybind way better

[random gyro]

i want windows 7 start menu tho

[left dove]

overture had a little sale and now I have a lot of PLA and PETG :3

[jaunty apex]

Lol nice

[random junco]

windows + s and type the first two letters of the app and press enter > 2 seconds

[latent gull]

i have to go back and forth between windows 10 and 11 computers every day so i just like having the button there cause it doesnt work as well on win10, so i still have the habit

[random junco]

then get a mod

[random gyro]

?

[random junco]

what is so hard to understand

[random gyro]

upgrade the 10 one to 11

[ocean axle]

thats not very many apps open

[jaunty apex]

I need to use mine. I just dont know on what lol

[latent gull]

no.

[random gyro]

lol

[left dove]

now THATS using your computer

[random junco]

bro hello !?

[random gyro]

why not, windows 10 is now outdated, plus not that great looking

[ocean axle]

i would screenshot my stuff, but i cant because work computer

[random gyro]

no!!! alt f4 twice, then hit enter

[ivory mountain]

im only on 11 cause it feels a shit ton better with modern hardware

[latent gull]

not my computer and work apps are having trouble with windows 11

[random gyro]

windows 11 works fine tho\

[random gyro]

ye, mine came with 11 pro

[ivory mountain]

read the second half of the sentence brodamon

[random junco]

this doesnt even link to what they said

[ocean axle]

windows 10 should be replaced by linux, not windows 11

[wheat torrent]

this is so much cleaner!

[latent gull]

what the fuck do you not understand about work apps having trouble, thats not a hard concept

[random gyro]

i did, just upgrade the apps

[left dove]

do you have reading comprehension issues perchance

[ivory mountain]

kde plasma

[random gyro]

chill out lmao

[random junco]

"upgrade the apps"

[latent gull]

no

[random gyro]

no i saw, its just a skill issue

[random gyro]

why in the world 😭

[random junco]

why what... have apps running?

[ivory mountain]

uhmmmm if theyre using old apps they have to obtain licenses for every user for the new software, thats very expensive

[random gyro]

ye, i mean optimize for windows 11

[random gyro]

nvm lol

[random junco]

you want polar to optimize each app???

[left dove]

its not a skill issue if something was designed for win10 and it doesn't work right on win11. that's a developer issue, not a user issue you fucking grapefruit

[random gyro]

true ig

[ivory mountain]

grapefruit??? 😭

[random gyro]

i know that, the devs have to fix that lmao

[latent gull]

we use datto RMM and its been causing issue on win11 because holy FUCK datto sucks

[sleek ibex]

"Do you believe in forever? I don't even believe in tomorrow!"

-Peter Steele

[random gyro]

also i hate grapefruit so nice insult lmao

https://tenor.com/view/clapping-clap-applause-standing-ovation-gif-15648815

give peyton an oscar and a grammy

[random junco]

whats going on skitz

[left dove]

thank you, thank you

now fuck off

[wheat torrent]

mods twist his ankles

[random gyro]

peter have some insecurities

[random gyro]

no

[left dove]

[random gyro]

yo yo

[weak condor]

go off king?

[random gyro]

no thanks lol

[random gyro]

king of what

[weak condor]

idk king of the soapbox ig

[rose stream]

Meanwhile, something I like, even if it's only on my homelab system.

[random gyro]

see thats clean

[rose stream]

Quite~

[random gyro]

and its linux

[ivory mountain]

had 240fps at release of this game now i barely get 160

[left dove]

ew, a hero shooter

[random gyro]

chickenmac19

[rose stream]

Solus with Budgie. Best combination.

[weak condor]

cumulative updates do be updating

[valid girder]

Anyone able to help me out?

[random gyro]

i only stay in one channel per server

[random gyro]

ah

i could put linux on this machine but eh

i don't need linux for anything

[left dove]

you need to create a windows installer disk and do a repair

[valid girder]

I already did

[random gyro]

and also remove system 32

[left dove]

then reinstall windows

[plush wren]

Wtf.

[valid girder]

That’s the thing it just doesn’t want to recognize my disk

[pallid moth]

hey could someone help me its my first time building a pc and its not booting

[random gyro]

it is useful wym

[plush wren]

i use sharex

[latent gull]

what you want fake me

[random gyro]

whats that

[left dove]

then turn off secure boot and install

[random gyro]

did you plug it in

[rose stream]

I have half the thought to head back onto Linux once I end up upgrading my system.

[valid girder]

It’s already off

[plush wren]

better snipping tool

[pallid moth]

yes

[random gyro]

hmm

[plush wren]

u get all these options

[left dove]

then get a new flash drive and/or ssd

[random gyro]

power supply plugged in properly

[random gyro]

i just need to snip whats on the screen and thats it

[pallid moth]

yes

[left dove]

set to "disabled"

[plush wren]

do u think it doesnt do that

[latent gull]

snipping tool auto-saves to camera roll and 99% of the time i just snip, paste into a chat, then forget about it

[rose stream]

Meanwhile with the homelab system, my dad uses it for daily purposes and so far, it's fared him quite well.

[pallid moth]

ive checked psu cables24 pin one the cou one the front panel

[plush wren]

i can add text and blur stuff instantly

[random gyro]

point is i don't need all of those tho

[rose stream]

Even with LibreOffice apparently, he's been doing pretty well with it.

[plush wren]

so what

[latent gull]

so it does what i need

[random gyro]

ask @left dove the IT person

[plush wren]

u can disable and enable saving on sharex

[valid girder]

It’s already disabled

And why did my phone auto correct 😭 I just got flagged

[random gyro]

interesting

[random gyro]

flagged by who? dyno?

[valid girder]

Idk

[left dove]

and you're selecting the flash drive to boot from?

[valid girder]

Yes

[left dove]

it was warship

[weak condor]

maybe a bad flash drive then?

[random gyro]

i have 3 flash drives that rarely use for windows

[left dove]

idk I'm not in front of the pc so my only solid suggestion is to try a different flash drive and/or ssd

[valid girder]

The drives worked before

I just don’t know wtf is wrong with it

[left dove]

its either a dead drive or a pebcak

[random gyro]

take it to best buy they might fix it, or use a hammer

[pastel bobcat]

Peyton, you know stuff. Why would a GPU have a USB-C?

[valid girder]

Should I use GPT or MBR format

[random gyro]

chat gpt

[left dove]

do NOT suggest taking a pc to bestbuy.

[valid girder]

It’s set up into MBR

[left dove]

gpt

[random junco]

ha. ha. ha.#

[valid girder]

Because I flashed the bios via that

[random gyro]

LOL i know but it was a joke lol

[weak condor]

monitors use usb-c sometimes

[valid girder]

Alr lemme reformat it

[pastel bobcat]

Really? thats dope

[valid girder]

And just use installation media correct?

[left dove]

inexperienced people will take it to heart and waste their money

[random gyro]

my mb has a usbc port but not my gpu\

[pastel bobcat]

This 2080 Ti have one, just saw it, pretty cool

[weak condor]

it actually kinda is.

[random gyro]

true, i know geek squad is a scam

[weak condor]

that's usual

[random gyro]

nice

[random gyro]

i just figured out today i can use my jbl speaker via cable and not just bluetooth

love service mode

[rose stream]

This sounded so robotic in my head. Lol.

[pastel bobcat]

I always forget how not old the 20-series Nvidia cards actually are?

Like to me I always think they have to be like 10 years old, but no they are modern

[left dove]

thats.. not what service mode is

[random gyro]

my mobile 2060 in my gaming laptop from 2019 i think is

[sleek ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/feelbutter-kevinmcgarry-mcgarries-neck-unbuttoned-gif-25007701

[random gyro]

thats what they called it on google when i did the tutorial

no cap

[left dove]

using a 3.5mm cable for a bluetooth speaker is not "service mode"

[weak condor]

I mean I was in college when they came out, so it seems like only a few years ago to me

[random gyro]

its not

[pastel bobcat]

yeah

[random gyro]

i have a flip 6, it only has usb-c

[rose stream]

[pastel bobcat]

Because a 2080ti is still good no?

[valid girder]

anyone able to vc to be able to help out?

[weak condor]

It is

[ocean axle]

2080ti isn't bad, but 1080ti the goat

[rose stream]

I have never heard that statement anywhere.
Like who genuinely says it's for "service mode"? That makes no sense whatsoever.

[left dove]

1080ti old goat, 2080ti new goat because rtx

[rose stream]

Even I'm confused by that.

[ocean axle]

no, 1080ti still just GOAT

[left dove]

fucking idk, ask skitz

[random gyro]

"Because the JBL Flip 6's physical volume controls are disabled when connected to a PC via USB, you must control the volume through your computer's operating system. This is because the speaker is in a "service mode" that treats it as a standard audio output device. "

[left dove]

that's moronic

[sleek ibex]

Ppppppfft Tseng Labs is obviously superior

[barren breach]

I thought 20 series ray tracing was awful, and just an add on to the 10 series cards

[rose stream]

B r u h .

[barren breach]

Like thats what I heard

[left dove]

it was first-gen tech, like what do you want?

[weak condor]

It isn't great, but if you're on a budget you could do far worse

[random gyro]

they say service mode at the bottom half

[pastel bobcat]

Why is 2080 Super worse than Ti? Shouldn't super be the best version of a card? Or is it just nvidia being stupid?

[random gyro]

idk

[left dove]

ti > super

[sleek ibex]

ET4000/W32P VLB Tseng Labs is obviously the better choice

[barren breach]

I was just saying in general, I never owned a 20 series card so I didnt actually know

[pastel bobcat]

Thats kinda stupid

[sleek ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/trollface-gif-8242347154758580084

[weak condor]

Nvidia has no clue what their own naming conventions even are, so how are we supposed to keep up

[barren breach]

Dont forget you can get a Ti Super card lol

Not in 20 series tho I dont think

[left dove]

TI came before super in marketing, super was only made so they could rehash an extra variant of each generation.

[pastel bobcat]

hmmm interesting

[odd fiber]

So just search for windows 11 github?

[pastel bobcat]

I've actually seen that yes

[rose stream]

Naww, it was terrible on the 10 series.
On 20 it was somewhat okay, just not on anything lower than a 2070, or at least now. Before when the 30 series only just hit and earlier, the experience was pretty weak though.

[fast girder]

i got two games that aren't graphical intense running in the background, are these temps normal? i keep getting system shutdowns and i just got my computer back up after about a week of it being off due to constant random shutoffs

[random gyro]

interesting

[barren breach]

10 series didnt have ray tracing?

[weak condor]

all your cores are 50s-60s, that's pretty normal

[left dove]

this chat is something else this afternoon

[random gyro]

i mean as long as it can run GTA 6 it'll be a good card

[rose stream]

Not natively in hardware, but they did put out an update where it could do it software... Which obviously sucked.

[weak condor]

There is a lot going on yeah

[random gyro]

its only almost 7pm

[plush wren]

its 00:41

[pastel bobcat]

I'm in the future from you guys, get owned

[random gyro]

no its 6:41pm

[plush wren]

no

[random gyro]

im EST the best timezone

[clear canyon]

its 5:41pm

[plush wren]

cet is the best timezone

[left dove]

It's not even that there's a lot going on, it's the amount of incorrect statements & misinformation/stupidity 😭

[random gyro]

alr central ill accept

[weak condor]

While I'm also EST, I think Central was better

[random junco]

11:41 is only valid answer

[stone violet]

Ti ti ti tip tap tatta tap lap sat mat bat cat rat >>> ti >> super >> starved model

[ocean axle]

Ti is another tier of card
Super is a mid-gen refresh

[random gyro]

cap 😭

[sleek ibex]

Should I cleanse this chat with retro e-waste

[ocean axle]

a 2080 super is still mostly a 2080
a 2080ti is a very different card

[left dove]

@pallid moth I have no idea who you are, why are you dming me

[ocean axle]

this is done because, well, cant use the full number range, gotta make a 1050ti sound better than it is

[weak condor]

Nah, if you have friends all over the states, it's a bit more convenient timing wise

[ocean axle]

if the whole number stack was used, we'd have a
1090 (1080ti)
1080 (1080)
1070 "Super" (1070ti, this was a late launch, so, it gets to be weird)
1070 (1070)
1060 (1060)
1050 (1050ti)
1040 (1050)
1030 (1030)

[plush wren]

uk time

[pastel bobcat]

hmm okay

[clear canyon]

can I dm u

[pallid moth]

i was told from this chat that u are an it person

[random junco]

courtesy of @random gyro

[pallid moth]

and asked whether u could help me since im steuggling a lot with my build

[plush wren]

[pastel bobcat]

ask here

[plush wren]

good night

[left dove]

You could have asked me here

[rose stream]

Okay, but don't just randomly DM people. Ask them here.

[pallid moth]

i see

[stone violet]

If your struggling with your build, than hit the gym and eat more protein 💪

[pallid moth]

sorry i didnt know that

[fast girder]

damn.. then i still cant explain these random shutoffs. i moved my processor to another system, i havent ran any tests but it was booting. i moved the other systems processor to my motherboard, that was booting too. i tried different GPU, i swapped power supplies..

[clear canyon]

its not even yesterday yet 😔

[pallid moth]

so i just built my first pc and after plugging everything in
theres no power

[weak condor]

are there random heat spikes? how good is the airflow of your case?

[left dove]

It's more of a politeness thing, like you wouldn't just go up to a stranger in public and start whispering in their ear would you?

[pallid moth]

ive double checked the psu plugs
the 24pin aswell as cpu one
my front panel

[clear canyon]

explode

[pastel bobcat]

That feels very american tbh

[clear canyon]

like a creeper

[pallid moth]

if u phrase it like that yea i wouldnt 😭
sorry that i dmd

[weak condor]

I was thinking a different shinji for a sec, but equally appropriate

[left dove]

how is that "very american"

[ocean axle]

get in the robot

[left dove]

It's okay, just keep it in mind for the future pls :3

[pastel bobcat]

Just like not being scared to talk to randoms them lot are good at it

[weak condor]

If someone came up and starting whispering in my ear, it doesn't really matter what country I'm in, I'll still think it's weird

[rose stream]

Yeah-no, we absolutely don't do that here.

[pastel bobcat]

We europeans we just dont talk to people at all, or well people we dont know

[pastel bobcat]

Yeah its horrible

[left dove]

...it's american to talk to strangers in public?

[pallid moth]

ive tried the screwdriver thing with my front panel aswell but that didnt work
i did the paperclip thing sswel
first tkme my psu spun but also only for a second or so until it slowly stopped again

[rose stream]

Dude... It's the same here.

[ocean axle]

most people on reddit/discord wouldn't, but mostly because existing near other people

[pastel bobcat]

Very, yes

[random gyro]

I didn’t say they could dm that person

[ocean axle]

yes

[left dove]

so do you european dorks just not ask others for help if you need it?

[weak condor]

It is from what I have observed actually. Whenever I spend time with my family in europe, nobody will ever talk to you when you're out and about

[rose stream]

You do not just randomly walk up to people and try whispering in their ear. That is creepy af and most people will not take that kindly here.

[pastel bobcat]

For help yes, but like small talk

man my internet be bugging

[left dove]

I wave to lots of people and say hi in public, wtf is wrong with europe

[pastel bobcat]

Nah nah I know that but like it still feels like something that would happen in the us more often than anywhere else.

[left dove]

Firefighters always wave back, it makes me happy c:

[pastel bobcat]

Would never happen here, we're enclosed in our own mind

[weak condor]

I do too, but people tend to stick to themselves a lot more in Europe

[left dove]

sadge

[pastel bobcat]

I mean, never is too much, but you get

[left dove]

I've had some awesome interactions with strangers before

[pastel bobcat]

Like, I would NEVER sit next to someone on the bus that I dont know

We would rather stand

[left dove]

weird mfs

[sleek ibex]

I rarely use eye contact when conversing with people

[weak condor]

Although most of the time I spent in Europe was in the Balkans, which is like borderline Europe

[pallid moth]

i dont wanna interrupt but i would really love to het some help.. ive been sitting at this for almost 12
hours now 😢

[rose stream]

Definitely not. Nowadays, that's asking to get arrested, beat up or told off for doing that...

[pastel bobcat]

But you're still way more open

[rose stream]

Talking to people in public, saying hi, waving is fine, but people give each other space, especially in public whenever it comes to communicating.

[random gyro]

My eero was updated so WiFi was out in the middle of a game

[pastel bobcat]

the fuck is an eero

[weak condor]

consult your mobo manual to see what FP pins go where?

[pallid moth]

my mobo came with a fp pin that was all connected so i didnt have to do that

[pastel bobcat]

I mean some countries here, like the Balkans, are open. But they also know eachother like they all are siblings. But here in Sweden, you would barely ever see it

[random gyro]

Connects to the router

[left dove]

eeros are amazons wifi mesh system

[hexed tapir]

I had a customer ask a stranger to haul his 98" TV on the back of his trailer since they were dumb and brought a camper shell truck that couldn't fit it. I find that very common in America

[pastel bobcat]

When I went to Germany, I felt disgusted from how open people were 😂 And Germans call themselves enclosed.

[pastel bobcat]

Ah okay

[sleek ibex]

In fact, too much eye contact towards the opposite gender is considered rude/inappropriate back home

[weak condor]

Good that makes it easy. I mean, it's basic stuff but make sure all your cables are FULLY plugged in. you'll see very weird issues with power if things aren't seated properly or are shorting.

[left dove]

I don't think I'd survive in your homeland lmao

[rose stream]

Thing is, it's different if it's a small town and everybody knows each other. Otherwise, in other places like the big cities, even if the physical space is limited, you still need to respect people's privacy and don't do things that you would normally only do with people you actually know.

[pastel bobcat]

Yeah, but ask for help is fine here, but some are sketch to it. But just small talk is basically a no no

[hexed tapir]

Hey stop staring at my crotch

[pallid moth]

ive basically ran throgu hevery cable atleast twice

[pastel bobcat]

I think you mean crotch?

[weak condor]

It's hard for me to maintain eye contact, but idk if that's something to do with being a touch on the spectrum. I've had to practice quite a bit so I can look professional at least

[rose stream]

Yo chill!

[hexed tapir]

Yes my dyslexic public school ass couldn't spell it 😆

[pastel bobcat]

haha no worries

[sleek ibex]

Yep.... Ultra socially conservative country moment

[weak condor]

dylsecxic borthers ries upp

[hexed tapir]

I would be screwed without autocorrect

[weak condor]

same man. When I was a kid I was sent to the principle once because I just could not tell the difference between p, q, b, and d.

[sleek ibex]

Also showing affection in public is a biiiig nono too

[left dove]

I love how faculty's first response was to send you to the principle like you broke a law or something lmao

[rose stream]

Were they at least nice and understood your situation was difficult when the rest of the faculty couldn't be bothered?

I sorta relate, but not really with the disability. Moreso with being ADHD and distracting to my peers, despite being the top of my class. It landed me with the principle multiple times because my teachers just couldn't handle me.

[weak condor]

yeah not too bad. This was in elementary, so stakes were pretty low. My mom eventually started homeschooling me so I could learn at the rate I needed. It was cool since I finished HS two years early because of it and was able to get a headstart into college and do pretty well.

[left dove]

I was a violent little fuckstick of a child up until 8th grade tbh

Then again i was a lot more autistic

[hexed tapir]

only till the 8th grade?

[left dove]

Trust me, back then I'd throw hands over a "ur mom fat" comment lmao

[weak condor]

Nah I just could do the work faster since no one could tell me not to

[left dove]

Nowadays I just belittle people I hate and stay in my bubble. things have worked out well so far

[cyan bay]

y'all got any matx case reco?

[weak condor]

If anyone made a ur mom joke in my school, the consequences would have been dire

[left dove]

ap201 orrrr the lian li a3

[weak condor]

The A3 is sick

[left dove]

i ordered the a3 today

I'm waiting for ram to go back down in price before I pull the trigger on cpu/board/ram

and then I will finally be off of 10th gen \o/

[weak condor]

I used the Asus Prime AP201 for a while and I really liked it

[weak condor]

That's cool man. the jump from am4 to am5 was pretty huge for me

[left dove]

Yee, I'm pretty excited to not be cpu limited

[waxen shell]

Is Magniumgear still a thing?

[left dove]

dcs, fractal rendering get peaked out on my 10850k

[waxen shell]

The A3 is poggers

[limpid ivy]

👀 peyton getting a new cpu and motherboard?

[left dove]

yee!!

[waxen shell]

The wood version is nice

[left dove]

it's time for this old bitch to upgrade

[ocean axle]

what from, what to?

[left dove]

10850k to either an ultra 265k or a 9700x

[weak condor]

I currently have the NR200P V3 as it was one of the only cases that was long enough for my card while also being ITX

[limpid ivy]

lol my 5900x just being ran into the ground for now but we going big on the next pc

[weak condor]

I really liked my 7700x, so I'd imagine the 9700x would kill

[limpid ivy]

overkill a tad but that's me

[left dove]

we love a little bit of overkill

[sleek ibex]

[left dove]

I also ordered the LF3 pro 280mm

[ocean axle]

others may disagree with this, but i personally would lean toward AM5 to be able to stick a zen6(x3d) CPU in it

[white pawn]

@azure topaz Which setting should I choose?

[ocean axle]

arrow to the knee is a single gen platform afaik

[sleek ibex]

I have zero right to call things overkill

[limpid ivy]

haha yep do I need no, but do I want the best experience when in sims hell yea.

[weak condor]

I tried using that, just be cautious about how thick the radiator is

[ocean axle]

whatever you dont have, i have less

i guarantee my stuff is more overkill

[valid girder]

hey yall

so now, i have the windows media installing

i saw a thing where i have to delete all partitions, is that recommended?

[weak condor]

Yeah

[sleek ibex]

I've spent enough money in my hobby to the point when I can buy a car directly from the dealership, and bring it home the same day

[ocean axle]

ive spent that on a single machine

[valid girder]

correct for windows install?

[left dove]

yes

[weak condor]

I don't like thinking about it. I'm trying to buy a house rn man

[valid girder]

alright, ill lyk how it goes in a few mins

[ocean axle]

and i dont mean over time, i mean i had a machine worth a car in active use

[valid girder]

I have a bunch of ports on this build, which should I use or it doesn’t matter

[sleek ibex]

The years I've been doing the hobby are that if it were a person, it's old enough to legally give consent

[weak condor]

shouldn't matter as long as you select the usb to boot from. unless people know something I don't

[valid girder]

I saw that usb 2 was better because windows install doesn’t like the other ports for some reason

[weak condor]

then go with that

[valid girder]

Only one available

[sleek ibex]

which car out of curiosity?

[weak condor]

go fer it

[valid girder]

CSM on or off for this, sorry for asking so many questions 😂

[left dove]

off

[valid girder]

Hopefully it actually wants to boot and not show a blue screen again

That’s fun

[weak condor]

might take a sec or two

[valid girder]

My mouse is lighting up but nothing else

[latent gull]

If it’s AM5 it can take a hot minute

[weak condor]

like I said, it may take a bit

[valid girder]

Says VGA

[weak condor]

IIRC AM5 memory training takes forever

[valid girder]

I believe this is ddr5

[ocean axle]

wasn't thinking of anything specific, it was a $15-18k-ish machine
i say was because stuffs been reconfigured since then

[valid girder]

It’s my buddies build I’m just trying to help him, but it pushed far past my abilities lmao

[ocean axle]

keep in mind, thats one computer as it was configured and in use, not ive spent $X on this computer over Y years

(Neither of us have money to bring it to a shop)

I’m still using my $700 Amazon special I got from like 5 years ago

Still kicking strong, gave it some nice 32gb ram

But won’t let me use anything past 3200 mhz

The computer doesn’t like it

[latent gull]

My am4 pc would boot in like 6 seconds and my am5 takes at least 20, and first time boot was way longer

[valid girder]

Do I just let it sit now and hope for the best?

[weak condor]

One of the few downsides to AM5 tbh

[gusty wagon]

You never had a chance to go take a shower during pc boot, did you?

[weak condor]

Not recently, but the old XP machine that i had for my first computer took forever

[gusty wagon]

XP? Old?

[valid girder]

?

[gusty wagon]

💀

[ocean axle]

its 24 now, yes, old

[weak condor]

Old because I was still running it when Minecraft came out in 2011 and was still using it in 2016. i was happy to be rid of it when I started building PCs myself

[sleek ibex]

My first computer had 95

[gusty wagon]

I started with a pentium II

[ocean axle]

P2 or P2-gen celeron?

[valid girder]

Oh nvm, I have a wireless mouse, I forgot I had it turned on 😂 it’s just the pc running, nothing else on rn

VGA motherboard light still on

[sleek ibex]

Had a K6-2 300 with an S3 Virge and later on a Voodoo2 in addition

[weak condor]

It's hard to diagnose because I'm not there, but give it a couple of minutes and if that doesn't work, then turn it off and reseat the GPU and GPU power cables. then try again

[fast girder]

I don't know if there are random heat spikes, I don't really have anything to warn me before the computer shuts off.
No, airflow kinda sucks but I mean I had this computer for a while now and it was ok. These things just started and if anything, I cleaned it pretty good yesterday.

Thai whole heat thing is just a guess since I can't figure out the problem

[gusty wagon]

I think it just said pentium II

[weak condor]

hmmm doesn't bode well. RAM and everything seated properly? How old is the PSU?

[ocean axle]

damn, had cash cache

[gusty wagon]

What is your cpu, psu and gpu?

[sleek ibex]

I remember playing on the family 486 computer as a wee lil lad

[fast girder]

Ram is seated. I did reseat it.
Not sure about the PSU, the one I swapped to I think is pretty old.
It's a Corsair 750W non modular. And the one I had before was a random company one, also non modular

[gusty wagon]

You've grown into a fine woman

[weak condor]

might be PSU then

[hexed tapir]

But it's younger than me

[fast girder]

Ryzen 7 5800x, 6700X, Corsair PSU, I don't remember the exact model.

[valid girder]

Brother what, it’s a fresh install…

[weak condor]

your drive has to be toast my dude

[valid girder]

It’s been doing this since I got the pc

It’s not the drive because I’ve literally tested it

[fast girder]

So that will mean that both PSUs the one I had when the shutoffs started and the one I swapped to are both faulty

[ocean axle]

that means you're old too!

[ocean axle]

RX 6700xt?

[weak condor]

i mean maybe, unless something is shorting in your case that isn't the PSU, in which case, happy hunting

[fast girder]

Yes

[weak condor]

good GPU

[fast girder]

I have a 3d printer about the desktop so things are rattling but yea that will be a pain to find what is shorting

[weak condor]

do you have alternate mobo or CPU? just to isolate what may be causing it

[fast girder]

I got that computer used off of Facebook marketplace about two years ago, 5800x, 6700xt 1Tb NVME with the case and everything for $200

[weak condor]

pretty good deal all things considered. If you can, try to narrow down your parts to see what's actually causing the issue

[real quiver]

This is probably a stupid question but is there any reason replacing the coax in my house with cat 6 would be a bad idea

[sleek ibex]

want to join us at the nursing home? We got old timers dance jamming to Humpty Dance, Who Let the Dogs Out, Whoop There it is, and Let's get it started!

[hexed tapir]

Hello yeah

[fast girder]

I built my son his own computer with ryzen 5 5600, so yesterday I put both systems side by side and swapped the CPUs, both were booting to bios but that's all the testing I did.
Since these random shutoffs can happen within an hour or 24 hours or a week. I can't really isolate it unless I buy another movie/cpu

[weak condor]

that's tough. may even be the outlet it's plugged into then. who knows

[thorny saddle]

outlets rarely have issues lke that

[sleek remnant]

why windows update is slow ffs

[thorny saddle]

its usually PSU

[fast girder]

Could be, since we did have something going on with the microwave that is plugged in a few sockets away where we had to shut the breaker off and back on. But my 3d printer that is right above the computer since to be just fine and not effected by it so I don't know

[thorny saddle]

are you tripping the breaker?

[weak condor]

I mean yeah, he's already mentioned having swapped PSUs so

[real quiver]

I used to have a minifridge that would make my computer think a usb device disconnected and reconnected every time it would shut off

[weak condor]

wild

[real quiver]

No idea how or why it did that

[thorny saddle]

in rush current does weird shit

[real quiver]

Was on the same circuit but not the same outlet

[thorny saddle]

same effect

[real quiver]

And the pc was on a surge protector

[fast girder]

No. The only thing that shuts off is the computer, nothing else around it. Not even the monitors that are connected to the computer

[thorny saddle]

refrigerator motors pull a bunch of current so the voltage goes low

[real quiver]

It's just weird that my current minifridge doesn't do that

[thorny saddle]

that lends itself to be the PSU or something

[unkempt thistle]

is this what developers call a tech stack?

[fast girder]

I did swap the PSU and the problem continues. I might just blow air at the mother board and maybe there's some dust that is trapped that shorts

[real quiver]

Is there anything specific that causes it, Mr. SSR? I just got here

[fast girder]

No idea. No errors no warning, could be when I play, I could wake up in the morning and find the computer has shut off in the middle of the night

[pastel warren]

hey guys have a friend with a laptop where windows just out right crashed on him the intall was long as it kept crashing on me managed to get it installed now but the laptop now crashes and restarts randomly changed thermal and also tried a new drive and running a memory test now any other ideas what it could be

[thorny saddle]

highly unlikely

what are CPU temps when it happens

[real quiver]

And it just shuts down? No bsod?

[valid canyon]

Xubuntu randomly updated its kernel. Killing the nvidia 490 driver. It cannot be compiled on the 6.x kernel at all. Thus bricking the monitoring wall completely. Engineers have no access to the data at all glance.

[thorny saddle]

why are engineers using 4090s

[valid canyon]

Nvidia 490 driver supports nvidia geforce GT 460 cards.

Also 4090s are totally a thing in engineering lol

[fast girder]

The time before last when I messed around with the computer it was working fine for 9 days straight, then it would boot cycle then boot without video, yesterday I did some CPU swapping and put new thermal paste and it worked for over 24 hours without an issue until it shut off

[white pawn]

what is the ball that spins around stress test in a browser called

[thorny saddle]

OK yeah version 490, which is only like 10 years old. Yes, 6.x kernel doesn't support it. Also engineers should be using workstation cards as the Geforce driver doesn't support enterprise work.

[azure topaz]

don’t

[fast girder]

And by boot without video I mean it would at least stay on. I have no way of knowing if it actually boot since my CPU doesn't have integrated gpu

[valid canyon]

Thank you for rereading my msg lol

[valid girder]

Alr just went out and got another USB from a buddy that he’s booted windows off of

[white pawn]

I selected 80 level 2

[valid girder]

And if this doesn’t work idk what will

[azure topaz]

face palm

[buoyant bridge]

Does this walnut trim go well with my desk?

[real quiver]

No post codes?

[thorny saddle]

OK. There wasn't really any point, I suppose.

[valid canyon]

You’re correct

[white pawn]

why is that bad

[thorny saddle]

You know you can just..... boot back into an older kernel.

[azure topaz]

you’re not going to stress test it and you don’t know how to properly stress test it

[fast girder]

No idea. My motherboard doesn't have anything that will show error code. But when the computer shuts off the mobo is still on, the lan lights and mobo lights are on but it's not ON

[sleek ibex]

Comsumer tech has been boring lately

[white pawn]

Oh you pinged the wrong message then?

[thorny saddle]

totally agree

[azure topaz]

no i just don’t think you should undervolt

[white pawn]

I don't see any disadvantages to it

[valid canyon]

Nope. It’s not in the repositories anymore. It is also a horrifying idea to roll back a kernel on a production machine. I will not be doing that

[azure topaz]

instability

[real quiver]

Wait so is it a full shutdown or do you just lose video

[fast girder]

Full shutdown

[thorny saddle]

You don't need repositories - it'll be in /boot

[white pawn]

There have to be advantages as well?

[azure topaz]

i told you those earlier

[white pawn]

The main factor to look at is whether or not the advantages overweigh the disadvantages

[azure topaz]

less power and a slightly higher clock speef

[white pawn]

Yeah I know

[azure topaz]

it’s an immeasurable performance difference for a lot of your time

[azure topaz]

that’s it.

[real quiver]

This is probably stupid sounding but have you tried unplugging the power button and restart button (if applicable)

[valid canyon]

Still, rolling back is not an option sadly

[valid girder]

Should I try booting windows with the ssd out of the computer then just boot off windows

[azure topaz]

😭

[valid canyon]

It’s gonna have to be a fresh install

[valid girder]

Idk why it just doesn’t wanna work

[white pawn]

Less power leads to lower temperatures, which leads to the CPU being put under less stress?

[azure topaz]

?

[thorny saddle]

how is it not an option?

[azure topaz]

less stress implying what

[fast girder]

I haven't try that, no

[azure topaz]

because no, 100% util is 100% util

[white pawn]

That's what I got from your explanation

[azure topaz]

it won’t last any longer

[valid canyon]

I’m not doing anything with a production machine. If it cannot be fixed with the default tooling and is usually not done in a regular machine in a normal environment, we’re not doing that

Meaning it goes down - it gets investigated, a new os flashed and set up

[thorny saddle]

You're joking, right?

[real quiver]

I feel like there has to be something stupid going on if it's shutting down randomly with no bsod and you've tried two psus

[valid canyon]

I’m not joking, we’re not troubleshooting a 10 old machine beyond what it needs

That includes rolling back the kernel version

[thorny saddle]

this is linux 101 - you choose the different kernel in grub...

[valid canyon]

There is no different kernel in grub. Moreover, there is no grub

[thorny saddle]

And this is run for "engineers"? frightening

just boot in init 3 and change the kernel

[valid canyon]

That is a video wall, running 10 yo hardware support for which was dropped. I’m absolutely not doing anything besides reinstalling the thing

I will however look into it. Thanks hehe

[thorny saddle]

lol ok

[real quiver]

I had a friend build a PC once, and it wouldn't boot at all. He tried just about everything, and then I found out it was a faulty power button on the new case. I'm just imagining a button somehow getting vibrated and randomly making contact internally @fast girder

[thorny saddle]

the entire point of kernel releases is that they are auto kept in /boot

[real quiver]

I've had stupid things bite me so many times

[thorny saddle]

you can literally boot into the prior kernel and done, fixed

[sleek ibex]

Yep I'm binge-watching retro tech YT like LGR, Ancient Electronics, HighTreason610, Wayback Tech, Nostalgia Mall, and PhilsComputerLab until something interesting comes about

[thorny saddle]

/etc/default/grub

[thorny saddle]

yeah i watch LGR from time to time but I get bored of it also

[fast girder]

Alright i'll see about checking that out tomorrow

[valid canyon]

To be entirely clear with you. The thing barely works. It’s ancient. It’s around 15 years old. Nothing works on it. Including the drivers

It’s a Frankenstein

And a huge pain in the ass

[thorny saddle]

yeah thats fine, but if it worked before a kernel update then it just needs the prior kernel - I worked in defense, we had to support systems well over 15 years old. All linux uses grub.

The fact that it has a discrete "3D" GPU means its basically new 😉

[valid canyon]

It doesn’t have a grub man
I wish it did
It doesn’t have boot option, it refuses to boot into installers
Fucking FEDORA refuses to install on that shit

[thorny saddle]

It does have grub

How else does it boot lol

[valid canyon]

Tell you what, it has a bootloader

[deep musk]

I got a 400$ CAD monitor for free today (It was in the school's e-waste bin, the psu was missing one tiny little solder point, so I soldered it back) monitor in question: https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/dell-pro-24-plus-usb-c-hub-monitor-p2425he/apd/210-bmkk/monitors-monitor-accessories?gacd=9683519-3043-5761040-266312346-0&dgc=ST&SA360CID=19906923087&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19906923087&gclid=CjwKCAjw3tzHBhBREiwAlMJoUlWr6mx6wP6UpfqHibWWWiMNNC3OCnKzE1GXCuSrFpRqwtWVCRHazRoC1nsQAvD_BwE

[valid canyon]

But no grub last time I checked

[thorny saddle]

what distro is it

[tawny knoll]

Recently, my room dropped all the way down to 68°F, so i figure i'd boot up my computer and play some cyberpunk. My room heated up to 75 degrees F thanks to my 9900x and 7900xt, absolutely insane

[thorny saddle]

there is grub2 and before that is legacy grub, which is installed back to like... kernel 1.0

[thorny saddle]

imagine having two 5090s in the same room going

[valid canyon]

It’s a weird flavor of ancient xubuntu. I don’t remember from the top of my head honestly

[tawny knoll]

I'd be impressed, my room gets super cold in the winter time so that'd be awesome

[thorny saddle]

the first version of xubuntu is 4.10 and it had grub

[valid canyon]

Hell, don’t know what to tell ya. At least that bitch ain’t loading into grub

[thorny saddle]

you don't "load" into grub

also if its trying to boot into linux w/ a broken video driver you can ctrl + alt + backspace to kill x

[valid canyon]

The worst part by far is the GPU support. It’s a dual GPU, but in practice is actually a triple GPU. It needs to drive seven monitors off that and apparently a custom xorg config

Fedora had issues with loading into its gui. Which if fine, I don’t mind it, popped into CLI install. ONE OF THE OTHER SCREENS CAME UP WITH A XUBUNTU LOGO

It just dumped the video buffer onto the screen

[thorny saddle]

all the more reason to try and fix it

[valid canyon]

Well I ain’t got no choice we roll on an “army” maintenance budget

Which means we work with what we got

[thorny saddle]

Yeah fixing it is the zero dollar option

[valid canyon]

I’m just gonna plop a 5 year old fedora on that thang

See if it boots

Then we’ll see if it can drive them screens

Day three, I’m getting angry

[meager isle]

[meager isle]

So here my build so far obviously not buying it from Amazon js using it for avg pricing and whatnot but rate

Should I change the motherboard or nah?

Also got to find another set of ram sticks which one should I get that are budget?

[ebon marlin]

Aren't 5070's quite literally 499$/549$

Save urself from buying ewaste and just get a 5070

[random gyro]

You need 10x Rtx 5090

[ebon marlin]

Why are you spending 140$ on a 1tb drive oh my god bruh

With 30 dollar delivery

[random gyro]

My 2 TB was $140

[verbal prawn]

My 2tb was 140 CAD like 2 years ago

[ebon marlin]

Mine was like 90€ for 2tb for one of the best gen4 drives

Around the top 10 of best gen4 drives

Kc3000

[meager isle]

Then what should I change the drive to?

[ionic peak]

Is this cooler good?

[ebon marlin]

Anything other than that

[verbal prawn]

Wtf is that psu

[valid canyon]

An HDD and a smallish SSD?

[verbal prawn]

Not worth in 2025

[meager isle]

Which one

[ionic peak]

A bomb

[ebon marlin]

You're overspending around 300-500 bucks on literally nothing and by buying all ur stuff directly from 1 store only

[deep musk]

unless you already have a huge ass hdd

[ionic peak]

I use that

[valid canyon]

Eh? Reliable storage and wicked fast cache?

[meager isle]

I am not buying it from Amazon js the case and the ram sticks

The rest my nearest tech store

[ebon marlin]

[ebon marlin]

I'd recommend using pcpartpicker to find the cheapest parts

[hexed tapir]

[ebon marlin]

You'd save a nice couple hunnid

[meager isle]

Then build me a pc thats worth 1k or a bit over

[verbal prawn]

Because what's a high end ATX power supply

[ebon marlin]

Which you can use to get a 7800x3d + 5070/9800x3d + 5070

[random gyro]

$6

[hexed tapir]

The MUCH better 5070 is $499

[ebon marlin]

Should be able to fit a 5070 in there

[hexed tapir]

That SSD is way to expensive

[valid canyon]

I will never understand an urge to get a 100 bucks power supply honestly

[meager isle]

Well I know nothing about pc and this is my first time trying to build one myself and I have no idea where to start

[random gyro]

i bought a prebuilt, it's been amazing

added 2TB storage too

[valid canyon]

[ebon marlin]

Also 1.7k that's insane my 7800x3d + 5070 pc + OLED Monitor is less than that

[valid canyon]

[deep musk]

if you're close to her, just tell her (it's better than doing nothing and that's how me and my gf are together)

[ebon marlin]

gay

[fierce breach]

I've stopped giving this advice because everyone who hasn't done that has some reason why they wont

I've never been able to reason someone into it

[meager isle]

Solid or nah

[stark kiln]

Fuck she is checking

[fierce breach]

No. Never buy an A or H board. B and higher only

[meager isle]

So minus the motherboard would it be solid?

[fierce breach]

Also asrock is an odd psu choice, get evga or corsair or seasonic or super flower or fsp etc

[ebon marlin]

Evga psu's mentioned

[fierce breach]

Aren't they still making them

[deep musk]

well I wished I could be that far away from my family cause I wouldn't have to disguise as masc every time my grandparents come to see us and my parents aren't really against it but aren't helping, thankfully I haven't started hrt (puppy pill, like I call it) yet, so I don't have to explain them why breast have suddenly developed on my chest for now. @valid canyon this is what got deleted

[ebon marlin]

You cant get a psu for a reasonable price from those brands you mentioned

[fierce breach]

You can

At 750w yes you can

[ebon marlin]

It's why alot of people here recommend Montech Century II, some MSI psus etc etc

[fierce breach]

There's always thermaltake smart for the desperate

[ebon marlin]

Especially not with their budget aswell

[meager isle]

Bro idc if its overpriced act like im broke

Puppy pill is new
I’ve heard girl pill, FEMtanyl

I will inform my trans friend on the new trends

I fucking knew I’d see that fucking meme

[deep musk]

am a puppy girl so they might not relate to it

[valid canyon]

Oh they will

[fierce breach]

The asrock psu is 69 on amazon. You can get an rm750e for 99

[fierce breach]

What does this even mean

[ebon marlin]

Lian Li Edge Gold is 81$

[fierce breach]

I did not know lian li was whitelabeling psu's, are they good?

[ebon marlin]

Yuh

[fierce breach]

Well then there you go

That's a better option than an asrock psu

[deep musk]

best and fastest explaination I could find https://www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/1lcbf02/comment/my0a519/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[fierce breach]

The first line says there is roleplay involved in the definition, and my brain immediately smoothed out. Thank you for clarifying though

[ebon marlin]

@meager isle Just save up the extra 100$ and you won't have to worry about ur pc ever again unlike with the other pcs (and prebuilts)

[jaunty apex]

UwU

[deep musk]

yeah, there's roleplay but it's not obligatory and not with randoms

[deep musk]

you're gonna be fine, unless she's literal psychopath (no normal human beings should make fun of someone else's feelings for them)

[ebon marlin]

[deep musk]

the girl or the maker of the tiktok?

[ebon marlin]

You made me do this to him

[jaunty apex]

I mean.. if you wanna get the real mods feel free lmao

[deep musk]

nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu qwq

[fierce breach]

My point was you should call a mod instead of pretending to be one if it bothers you

[jaunty apex]

Im not pretending to be one, Im making a comment on an observation

[deep musk]

love your bio btw

[fierce breach]

It conveys discontent with the current topic with how you worded it, my bad

[undone cedar]

Thinking of getting a big ass drive for my pc (8tb maybe more?) to mostly store all my footage and other stuff for projects (footage for video editing, renders from 3d programs). Should i go barracuda or ironwolf? (seagate drive btw) sometimes i tend to keep my pc on over the night if im rendering a scene but also seeing its for NAS so im unsure if its worth going for the ironwolf

[random gyro]

ya dont need 8TB

[undone cedar]

With prores files i might

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah dont listen to him

Get whatever you think you need/want

[random gyro]

hmmm

[random gyro]

not nice sir.

[sinful cobalt]

Im not gonna compensate for your skill issue

[random gyro]

i have 0 skill issue. you're the one with 2,324

[sinful cobalt]

Since its long term powered, I’d get ironwolf.

[random gyro]

i have 3TB

[sinful cobalt]

Barracudas are meant to be more temporarily active

[undone cedar]

Understandable thanks for the answer

She doesn't know (yet)

I am so embarrassed bro 😭😭😭

[undone cedar]

Just dont say that ”you already know her” shit i beg 😭

But good luck man whenever you find the courage to tell her

[stark kiln]

I didn't

I Js said we had simmilar classes and that the person is gorgeous

[stark kiln]

I will prolly by January

[random gyro]

anybody play connections?

[subtle idol]

My laptop has been stuck on this screen for the past 30 mins
How do I fix it?

[thorny forge]

Chat I have an i5-9400f, rtx 3050, 16gb Ddr4 2666mhz and 480gb SSD SATA storage, what should I upgrade next?

[subtle idol]

Get a good NVMe ssd

[thorny forge]

I'm trying but they're really expensive, I looked at one and it was 170$

Probably because it's 2tb

[subtle idol]

Is ur ram 8+8 or a single 16 gb stick?

[thorny forge]

8+8

And my motherboard is only dual slot

[stark kiln]

Lowk I feel like I did the right choice with my PC

[thorny forge]

And I did the wrong one

Bought a pre built back in 2021

[subtle idol]

I think u should save some money and upgrade ur ssd

[thorny forge]

It had a gt 1030, a single 8gb stick, a mid motherboard, and the same 480gb ssd

The motherboard is also the same I use now

[stark kiln]

Guys which game should I download or ""borrow"" next?

BF2042
BF4
City skylines 2
BeamNG
Ghost of Thusima
CB2077

[thorny forge]

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

[stark kiln]

Fair enough I'll beg my friend to family share again to do it

I think my PC can handle it

Altho with my wifi the download times will be atrocious

[thorny forge]

Don't worry, it's not as bad as 2024, but still, quite bad

[subtle idol]

Is this the games u have played?

[subtle idol]

Or the options to chose from?

[stark kiln]

No I watched them

BF2042 and BF4 tho I did play

Unpopular opinion: BF 2042 is good

[subtle idol]

Try rdr 2

[ivory mountain]

tsushima or 2077

[sinful cobalt]

cyberpunk

[merry nest]

Beamng is excellent for messing around with

If you got a racing sim setup it's even better

[sinful cobalt]

any car game becomes absolute cinema with a wheel

[stark kiln]

Alr

I got a 1660S 3tb HDD and i5 7500. I can run all games but I js wanna see which one first

Appreciate u

Ill slowly buy parts

[buoyant bridge]

built trim onto my desk

[clear canyon]

damn, how could they build a desk into your trim😔

[buoyant bridge]

the European confuser

[clear canyon]

angry outlet is best design

[cold skiff]

Why’s it in the floor

[buoyant bridge]

its more so a lot of people get confused you can have outlets here in the US and be up to code

[cold skiff]

My British mind is so confused right now

[buoyant bridge]

This is in a desk, you need metal water covers for the floor

[cold skiff]

That makes more sense

I saw some lad on tiktok get confused we have power switches on our outlets

I didn’t realise how wild an on/off button is for a power outlet until today

[long cradle]

Disagree

[clear canyon]

gross

[cold skiff]

Isn’t angry outlet lower power?

[buoyant bridge]

more power per gang

[cold skiff]

How’d you work that out

[long cradle]

Explain why.

[clear canyon]

it lacks emotion

[cold skiff]

You realise the top pin on a uk is ground and not actually required?

[buoyant bridge]

2200W per receptacle on a US outlet with a standard breaker, 4400W per gang

you can go up to 3200W on a single receptacle or 6400W per gang (only learned that recently)

[buoyant bridge]

UK outlets max at 2600W per gang

and it's not up to code to have less than 3 outlets on a single circuit, dedicated circuits are also a thing in the US

[cold skiff]

I mean… I googled and for some reason it’s telling me what you’re saying is wrong

[buoyant bridge]

US outlets can be split.

Lemme grab one rq I have a box of them

[cold skiff]

This is too spark related for 5.30am for me 😬😂

[clear canyon]

the one you showed has the same look as the pp rocket from starforge systems

[buoyant bridge]

that tab hanging from the side snaps off and once it's been snapped off you can split your outlet

[random gyro]

welcome

[buoyant bridge]

Then you can use 4 conductor wire to have 2 circuits connected to a dual pull breaker

2200W = 120V 20A
3200W = 120V 30A

[clear canyon]

12w = 1232178V 1A

:D

[buoyant bridge]

Need more power, behold.
