[fringe pulsar]

glad it broke off that cleanly

but wasn't a big fan of having to commute to my uni's makerspace so I could use their soldering station

[rigid fjord]

essentially yes

[left dove]

I dunno if you have to list both tbh, like if you're into one you're probably doing the other

[gusty moss]

would an i7 9700k overclocked to 4.9 ghz severly bottleneck a 5060 ti 16 gb

[left trellis]

dont think itd ever severely bottleneck a 5060 ti

[stoic nova]

Some games could suck though

But would they suck coz the GPU bottlenecked nah

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.androidauthority.com/ayn-odin-3-up-for-sale-3609402/

there are four models to choose from: base (8GB of RAM/128GB of storage), Pro (12GB of RAM/256GB of storage), Max (16GB of RAM/512GB of storage), and Ultra (24GB of RAM/1TB of storage). It’s worth noting that the base model features UFS 3.1 storage, while the others use UFS 4.0.

[toxic jasper]

hey, if yall had to trust a third party to repair your PC for money, who would it be

[tulip sparrow]

Louis Rossman

[toxic jasper]

uhhh anyone more...approachable for the common guy

[tulip sparrow]

lol

[toxic jasper]

preferably affordable too

[plain cypress]

Guess who had a really good time eating chicken for dinner

[tawny lava]

Can someone help me reduce high temps during load? Im seeing 67C while running y cruncher 100% load

[stoic nova]

Who am I and what do I do for work

[frosty oriole]

Why do you want to reduce them even more?

[stoic nova]

They're too reduced already.

[toxic jasper]

layman who knows nothing about PCs basically and uhh...i guess a very regular job?

[tawny lava]

Increase cpu lifetime and longevity

[frosty oriole]

CPU temps under max load:
90°C+: Could be reduced.
80 - 89°C: acceptable.
70 - 79°C: Excessively cooled.
60 - 69°C: Is it even under load?

[toxic jasper]

come back when you get these numbers

[tawny lava]

Looks like LN2

[stoic nova]

Id be going into a Walmart and ask the guy who unlocks the cabinets in the electronics departments why my shit don't work

[tawny lava]

Intel ew tho

[toxic jasper]

ok but uhh....what if its like an issue with the computer like my CPU overheating (as seen in screenshot above)

[stoic nova]

Ideal full load temp

[toxic jasper]

full load? thats me watching a youtube video on chrome

[frosty oriole]

That doesn't matter that much. Yes, heat kills, but anything below 80°C should last for decades without issue. Lowering it any more won't help much, if at all.

[stoic nova]

Oh damn

[toxic jasper]

yeah idk what to do 🗿

[stoic nova]

Is this layman a gamer

[toxic jasper]

yes

[peak knot]

Hit me up when you can run these voltages and still not hit those temps lol

[stoic nova]

Does this layman have any "handy" tendencies. Like tightening loose screws

[toxic jasper]

i cant lie i dont even know how voltage correlates to temps 💀

[peak knot]

Higher voltages equal higher temps but it’s an exponential growth

[toxic jasper]

lets say the layman already tried cleaning their computer and replacing the thermal paste and still has the same issue

[toxic jasper]

uhhh...so a slightly higher voltage can shoot up the temp if its high enough

[stoic nova]

Then they're fully capable of fixing it if they can identify. 1: what their cooler is
(And tell us here)
2: identify if the fans spin

[peak knot]

Yes but the voltages shown will kill your pc at your temps, I was actually running ln2 to run that

[toxic jasper]

what if its a liquid cooler and uhh one of the fans on the tall thingy with 3 fans is not spinning (it happens to be the center one) but is too scared to make any changes cause its a prebuilt and doesnt wanna break anything

[stoic nova]

Is it not spinning even with the Google chrome stress test?

[toxic jasper]

well uhh idk what the natural log of 2 has anything to do with it but..good to know

[stoic nova]

Your pump is probably not plugged in anyway

[toxic jasper]

yes

[toxic jasper]

the layman doesnt know how to check that

but has some pictures to help with context

if needed

[left trellis]

what gpu

[stoic nova]

||it would probably be in the rear panel connected to a hub along with the other fan connectors or their bios ain't configured||

Hey you wanna try the easy stuff first?

Get this https://getfancontrol.com/

Let it do the calibrate thing

Crank everything to 100

[peak knot]

Gt 1010

[toxic jasper]

uhh whats this

[stoic nova]

Control fans

[toxic jasper]

oh

[stoic nova]

Pump is a fan too

[toxic jasper]

wait i already have a picture of the fan not running though

[stoic nova]

You can't see this specific fan

[toxic jasper]

huh

[toxic jasper]

which one do you even install

4.8 or 8

[stoic nova]

4.8

8 is for nerds

[toxic jasper]

ok

it is

installed, now what

[stoic nova]

agree to everything until it gives you sliders you can slide

crank all of them up and perform google chrome benchmark

[toxic jasper]

it is doing control and speed pairing

what is google chrome benchmark

[stoic nova]

^

[toxic jasper]

it still calibrating

oh

that happens at a random time

its not always controlled

that is, the temps randomly will spike to over 100C then back to like 70-80 if youtube browser is lagging a bit, or go back to 50 then spike 40 C to like 90, etc.

its very random

[stoic nova]

so it goes over 100, not, just by watching a youtube video

[toxic jasper]

it does sometimes go over 100 watching a youtube video, but its not consistent

ok i have the sliders

[stoic nova]

well great, your pump works, but its probably stuck with no fan curve

[toxic jasper]

it says they are at 100% u said to crank em up

[stoic nova]

nvm

[toxic jasper]

what is a fan curve

[stoic nova]

its the fans speeding up according to your temperatures

[toxic jasper]

oh

well the thing is

if i play like any video game or launch it, it will go up and stay around 100 C +

for longer at least

[stoic nova]

right, this app can fix that

[toxic jasper]

huh

[stoic nova]

its asking you to identify your fans right now right

[toxic jasper]

it already identified them

[stoic nova]

with the sliders

[toxic jasper]

yeah i have 5

[stoic nova]

name them* rather

[stoic nova]

either 1/3/6 is your pump (hopefully), and im betting its...fan 3

[toxic jasper]

while the calibrating happened it throttled a bit

[stoic nova]

is it doing it now with everything at 100?

[toxic jasper]

the sliders are what u see them at atm

in the ss

[stoic nova]

turn Fan 1/3/6 to %100 can you make it throttle with anything

[toxic jasper]

yeah probably

[stoic nova]

try

[toxic jasper]

ok 1, 3 and 6 to drag all the way...

lemme launch pubg maybe

[toxic jasper]

its hovering high 90s to mid 100s

on the menu of pubg

[stoic nova]

welp, its hard to imagine 1 of 3 fans on a 360mm aio- wait

core i9- i9 what

[toxic jasper]

i9-12900KF

[stoic nova]

oh fuck me

lmfao

[toxic jasper]

what

[stoic nova]

yea that fan thats not spinning in the middle is your problem

I expected something a bit more modest

[toxic jasper]

thats the fan

the one below and above that are running its just that one

[stoic nova]

see here, find where those lead to

one should be not like the other 2

[stoic nova]

so you ready to buy some noctuas

[toxic jasper]

whats a noctuas

[stoic nova]

watch more ltt

[toxic jasper]

💀

[stoic nova]

but they're enthusiast pc fans

[toxic jasper]

i could barely even manage the thermal pasting man, how am i gonna replace a whole fan

that too one thats like apart of that set of 3

[formal sonnet]

The greatest technician fans that's ever lived spun round and round.

[pine palm]

what would be a good linux distro i can use as a server and also be able to use it as a PC

to run AI or smthing

[stoic nova]

all of em

[formal sonnet]

Debian is love; is life. ❤️ But like... the answer is "all of them" and "none of them" at the same time. Hard to say without knowing exactly what you plan to run on this computer... also, you're not planning to daily drive this as a PC, right? (You can... but that defeats calling it a "server" per se.)

[pine palm]

I can set up a server to access it from anywhere?

[toxic jasper]

the only thing spinning is my head after trying to troubleshoot this problem for the past 48 hours 💀

[stoic nova]

im surprised you.....went to lengths of repaste

when a fan not spinning is....visually, ya know

[toxic jasper]

well the pc help hub discord told me to, so i tried my best and uhh...well the results didnt really change so

[stoic nova]

one of the very many drawbacks of, the text based medium

[toxic jasper]

thats why the layman is looking for a reliable, affordable and effective PC repair shop

[stoic nova]

normally not a big deal on most cpus, but you got the mf wattchunker9000

[toxic jasper]

i cant be throttling on 360p youtube videos man, idk what happening

[stoic nova]

ibuyproblems

[pine palm]

I want to run a server to save stuff like pictures and use it to run n8n if possible

and that is on iris Xe

[toxic jasper]

what am i gonna do, im terrified of trying to build my own PC, knowing how clumsy i am and itll cost me a ton if i break something on accident

[pine palm]

its an old HP laptop i dont have a use for so why not

[formal sonnet]

Ah, gotcha, so it's not going to be a daily driver PC. You want to tinker around with Linux - makes sense! Whatever you do, just ensure you backup any important data you cannot bear to lose - especially photos.

[stoic nova]

this is way easier than whatever you did repasting

[pine palm]

yup i have it in a synology server a hard drive and a SD card

[toxic jasper]

everyone said repasting was the easiest thing, but when i went to do it there was a cable that was connected to the cooler, and the tubes prevented me from being able to flip it cause they were too stiff, so i had to clean the underside of the cooler blind while trying not to pull the wire, and i had to use 1 hand to paste the topside of the CPU

people always downplay how hard it is, at least in my experience

everytime ive attempted i end up getting into a situation that was never in any youtube video, reddit thread or guide

[stoic nova]

well at least you're staying away from the most expensive fancy stuff

doing this

[winged sky]

https://tenor.com/view/debian-beloved-my-beloved-heart-love-gif-1160773191786643504

[toxic jasper]

idk what the most expensive fancy stuff is

[pine palm]

@formal sonnet so what do you suggest

[formal sonnet]

I already said... #tech-chat-1 message

[pine palm]

oh

why not ubuntu

[winged sky]

debian :3

[toxic jasper]

plus when i do get into those situations where im lost and confused cause it wasnt in the video/guide, no one is available to help me in those moments and i just gotta wing it

[stoic nova]

because ubuntu is debian

[pine palm]

but a more simple verson

[formal sonnet]

You can - Ubuntu is just Debian. And no, Debian is a more simple Ubuntu. Distros based on Debian are fine, but they add their own flavor / polish / nuances to how you use them. Not a bad thing - just something to note.

[winged sky]

Almost had a scare with that as I was shuffling around data and reformatting drives

[pine palm]

debian v3 doesnt have more security updates

[toxic jasper]

i am living proof that this stuff isnt idiot proof

[winged sky]

Gods debian is just so... wonderful ain't it

KDE plasma on top

[formal sonnet]

Why would you be running Debian from 2002? 👀 https://www.debian.org/releases/woody/

[pine palm]

ohhh

[stoic nova]

its not your fault your cooler failed on an extremely expensive prebuilt

[pine palm]

haze said :3 and i read it as v3

LMAO

[stoic nova]

you can either make ibuypower deal with it and not have a pc for a couple weeks, or you can do it yourself tomorrow

[toxic jasper]

warranty is already expired so i cant

[winged sky]

I accidentally typed v3 then changed it ;-;

[pine palm]

lol

[toxic jasper]

idk how to do it myself, and im worried that if i try ill break something else in the process and mess the whole thing up

then im really screwed

[stoic nova]

you already succeeded at not doing that with a task much more likely for that to happen

[winged sky]

Fr though debian 13 is honestly fairly straight forward and easy to set up and also comes with a ton of DE options right off the rip in the installer.

[toxic jasper]

how is replacing a whole component easier than the thermal paste

[stoic nova]

the worst you can do here is scratch some paint off your case, or miss cutting a zip tie and cut the wire of a fan that already doesnt work

[toxic jasper]

one didnt require me to unplug anything

[pine palm]

DE?

[stoic nova]

all you're doing is unplugging these. unscrewing the aio from the front bracket, unscrew fan, and the same in reverse

[random gyro]

sup

[winged sky]

Desktop Environment.

[toxic jasper]

bro...look how tangled those all are, and all the ties holding it together i swear another wire will like drop and i wont know where it goes

[stoic nova]

if some knotted shoelaces prevent you from going outside I'd be too scared too

[pine palm]

im thinking of Ubuntu since its more new user friendly

[toxic jasper]

i dont even know what a front bracket is

[pine palm]

I have no idea about Linux

[winged sky]

Go for linux mint then tbh

Its based on ubuntu

[toxic jasper]

i mean idk, often times ive tried to mess with my PC in some way itll usually go unexpectedly and i wont know what to do, like what if another connection falls or i accidentally rip a wire/one of the ties that is holding up something important

[stoic nova]

alright listen @toxic jasper you can either spend $190 for a minimum wage best buy employee to install a bunch of crap on your computer, or you can DM me when you have a fan to replace the broken with and a screwdriver

we can call or whatever

Im already invested at this point

[toxic jasper]

yeah that was my concern, people told me i couldnt trust geek squad cause they wont know either, so im like paralyzed lol

[toxic jasper]

if you really are willing to help me step by step

and would be available if something unexpected happens

[stoic nova]

when you got intimidated by the rear panel cables I started to feel bad

as long as its around the same time of day yea

[toxic jasper]

yeah im completely clueless and terrified

i had a bad experience in the past thats why

ive tried learning how to build PCs for a decade but ive never been able to cause of so much anxiety and uh

well i had a bad experience once where i tried to tinker with something in my old PC and i ended up bricking it and had to buy this new one i have now

[pine palm]

what about setting up a server on windows

[toxic jasper]

so it cost me literal thousands

[random gyro]

never trust geeksquad

its a rule of thumb in the repair business

[toxic jasper]

thats what ive been told, but i cant turn to anyone else in my area :[

[stoic nova]

when you said prebuilt I diddnt expect a 12900kf variant, literal thousands.

[random gyro]

how far is a microcenter?

[toxic jasper]

3 hours away and i cant drive cause i have benign vertigo atm so im medically barred

also the last time i gave my PC to microcenter they bricked my PC as well

and thats the closest one, which is 3 hours away

[stoic nova]

are you getting a new fan(s) irl or online

[random gyro]

they didn't fix the problem

or like refund or give you credit or anything

[toxic jasper]

both

[random gyro]

doesn't seem like microcenter

i got my prebuilt from there, been working great

[stoic nova]

they, like most of the us, only have best buy, myself included

I know how that is

[toxic jasper]

they wrongly diagnosed cause i got the PC back once, then within 3 DAYS something else broke and they took it back and said "yeah give us another $1000 to fix this" like i didnt give em $500 previously

i ended up having to get a new PC

[toxic jasper]

i sorta have to get them online cause i cant drive atm

uhh what fans should i get...i know compatability is important so idk really what to get

also what am i even replacing

is it just that 1 center fan

[stoic nova]

you could

or you could upgrade

[toxic jasper]

upgrade what

[stoic nova]

the 2 other fans as well

fans are only like, $5-$40 so relax

[toxic jasper]

i was gonna ask cause uhh, lowkey im worried if i spend the money to get a fan, replace it somehow and then "oops temps are still hot" its a waste

its happened twice now so, first with getting the canned air to dust my PC, then with the thermal paste

[stoic nova]

we already verified your pump worked. if that happens the only other thing it could be is mounting pressure

aka did you screw in the pump block tight enough

[toxic jasper]

well i screwed it till the screws couldnt move that much

i didnt wanna force it cause i heard that can break stuff so

[stoic nova]

however a fan going out on a 12900kf is kinda a big deal

so

[toxic jasper]

is 1 fan all it takes to get these temps like 40 C higher though

like damn

i didnt know 1 fan was that much a difference maker

[stoic nova]

any other fan besides the aio sure

its not.

[toxic jasper]

when i dusted my PC it changed it by like...id say 15 C, but then it climbed back up within a couple weeks

went from low 100s to like high 70s low 80s

but it creeped up again so

[stoic nova]

unless you have a small colony of rats living in your pc case, all really bad dust should do at most is 1-2 degrees in reality but

[toxic jasper]

idk it made a huge difference early on when i did it so

but now its no longer a thing

[stoic nova]

so you want your pc to be quieter or you just want it cheap as possible

[toxic jasper]

uhh...idk, quiet would be nice i guess, im not sure if the noise level right now qualifies as quiet or not though

[stoic nova]

subjective

[toxic jasper]

its hard to tell then idk what is quieter so

whats the difference in price between quiet and cheap

[stoic nova]

cheap would be an arctic p12, the best value fan, quiet would be not quite literally "more quiet", but nicer sounding but cost more.

cheap would be just replacing one, quiet would replacing all 3. my opinion, if you're doing 1, why not do all 3.

[sonic siren]

https://tenor.com/view/electric-fan-wind-turn-hot-fan-gif-4860088

[stoic nova]

cant cool a 12900kf with this

[toxic jasper]

well the other two are working, i could upgrade maybe but like..even then is the 1 fan THAT much a difference maker where im throttling to 117 C

like can 1 fan really make a 40+ C change

[sonic siren]

If you're confused, you're like a fan.

[stoic nova]

ive already explained this. its your aio fan dawg

[toxic jasper]

whats AIO fan

[stoic nova]

the aio is whats cooling your cpu

[toxic jasper]

oh the tube things

hows that work though

[stoic nova]

ye, the tubes carry the hot water to the radiator, that the fans then need to move air through or else your just moving the same hot water back to the cpu

[toxic jasper]

oh

so the fans dont cool the physical thing but the hot water?

[stoic nova]

in a technical sense yes

[toxic jasper]

wait, if i replace the fan then does that i mean i have to disconnect the tubes and all

cause its all connected to the cooler

[stoic nova]

not at all

[toxic jasper]

like u see the tubes

[stoic nova]

do you see what the fans are mounted to, big metal block?

the tubes go to that block too

you need to remove that block from the case, so you have room to put in the fans

then put it back

[toxic jasper]

oh

[stoic nova]

all the slack you have in your tubes is all the slack you can move the aio with

get it?

[toxic jasper]

oh like the

so the fans are in front of a tall black thing

[stoic nova]

ye

[toxic jasper]

is that the metal block

[stoic nova]

you should watch more ltt

[toxic jasper]

wait so do i just slot out the old fans and slot the new ones in without moving the block?

[carmine yew]

the tubes do not come off. Ever.

[stoic nova]

the graphics card is in the way of the fan you want to replace

[carmine yew]

if you can figure out how to get the fan off without removing it? Sure

But it's looking pretty tight in there

[stoic nova]

hard to navigate a screwdriver against a wall

[carmine yew]

if you unplug the GPU it'd be easier

[toxic jasper]

thats uh....not much slack lol, when i tried to do the thermal paste i couldnt even flip the cooler to view the underside, i had to clean it blind cause the tubes were too stiff

[stoic nova]

any slack is plenty of slack

[toxic jasper]

wait i have to unmount the GPU? damn...

[stoic nova]

not if you unscrew the aio from the front bracket

listen

[toxic jasper]

is the front bracket that metal block

[stoic nova]

just dm me when you're ready

[toxic jasper]

uh

ill DM you now i guess, i just wanna learn first before i get it all so its clear to me

[stoic nova]

Ive already told you Id spoonfeed step by step over a call

I wanna game a little tonight

[toxic jasper]

okay

wait so do i have to buy

where do i buy the fans

[stoic nova]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GB16RK7?ie=UTF8

fan*

[toxic jasper]

oh ok so its just the 1 then

[azure topaz]

rtx 3080?

[toxic jasper]

yeah

[azure topaz]

had the same one

[toxic jasper]

ok so i just buy this 1 fan and im good to go, right?

instead of the upgrade

[toxic jasper]

oh cool

alright

well uhh im just gonna buy the 1 fan for now

dang only arrives on friday

guess itll do...

[pine palm]

i downloaded ubuintu using wsl and when i opened it after restarting the PC it opened a bunch of cmd windows and closed them instantly

[random gyro]

[buoyant bridge]

I think computers need MORE random bullshit

keyboards with volume dials should be common

fingerprint readers at desktops should be normal

This is a flex

[clear canyon]

they are, most mechanical keyboards has them lol

ehhh, thats lame to me tbh

[random gyro]

what the

i have those at my job

how did you get that

[buoyant bridge]

you can buy them on amazn

the red cpu company apparently idk

[buoyant bridge]

AMD used to be green lol

pre radeon logo

when AMD bought ATI they turned their logo to be red for the "team red" name to differentiate themselves from nvidia and intel as they also stepped into making GPUs

AMD's CPU division and GPU division where red starting in 06
corprate switched to red in 13

[iron glen]

Is the amd logo an arrow or a cube

[buoyant bridge]

afaik its supposed to be an arrow

[iron glen]

correct

[pale flint]

what do you use it fod

[buoyant bridge]

Windows hello

[pale flint]

k

[buoyant bridge]

I had like 60 of them at one point when I owned a gun store lol (you need some form of authentication other than passwords on computer systems in those)

[pale flint]

ok

goof

[buoyant bridge]

unlocking a computer with a fingerprint instead of a password is more convient

also wayyyy more convient then typing my password each time I run sudo

[stark flicker]

I just put sudo without password 😢

[pale flint]

fingerprint isnt my type of thing

[toxic nova]

If I just put new thermal paste on my cpu and I’m still hitting 93 degrees is it time to look for a different cooler

[pale flint]

it doesmt work for me half of the time

[buoyant bridge]

How much paste did you use

[pale flint]

93 peak?

[buoyant bridge]

Also did you remove the peel and are you using a older x3d chip?

[random gyro]

interesting

[toxic nova]

Ryzen 5 7600 no peel was just a repaste not a new cpu and a pea on the middle

[buoyant bridge]

Can I see the cooler because that's INSANE

[stray portal]

I may get an Oled but the fact it will die at some point just pmo

I wanna enjoy my stuff without worrying about burn in

[buoyant bridge]

All monitors die at some point

OLEDs just need some extra care (not leaving still frames on screen too long)

[toxic nova]

Stock amd

[buoyant bridge]

Something's wrong then lol

[toxic nova]

Ryzen 5 7600 and 5070ti

[buoyant bridge]

are your fan speeds really low? By default on most motherboards that cooler should be staying under 80

[stray portal]

So u can't do most desktop work

[buoyant bridge]

try going to bios and resetting your CPU fan speeds to default

[stray portal]

Can't do something without full screening

Etc

[buoyant bridge]

Too long is literally in the double digits in hours

modern OLEDs can easily take desktop windows for 12+ hours

If your monitor is on 12 hours a day you're just asking for it to die anyways

[stray portal]

A normal monitor wouldn't die tho

[near jewel]

Hedgehog. It's just a hedgehog.

[toxic nova]

I’ll check

[near jewel]

You've been hedgehogged. Go hedgehog someone else as revenge.

[buoyant bridge]

Dawg I've run several business and did all the IT maintenance myself for years
2, 7 hour shifts = 10-11.5 hours of activity on a display
Ive had countless Dell, Asus, Acer, and HP monitors die from just being used too much in just a few years

[true stirrup]

That's not really a problem anymore

[buoyant bridge]

You have to leave it still for insanely long amounts of time

[stray portal]

cheap monitors die oftren

[buoyant bridge]

it still happens after 10-12 hours

[true stirrup]

Then you run the built in pixel cleaning and it probably goes away

[stray portal]

and what if it doesnt

display gone money gone

[buoyant bridge]

$600 Dell ultrasharps and $100 LGs will die in about the same amount of time if they're being used 12 hours a day

Business monitors aren't cheaply made, they outlast consumer monitors and gaming monitors (I learned this pretty damn fast)

[toxic nova]

Idling on my desktop with discord open

[stray portal]

what oleds would yall recommend

long life and no dying also i want maybe good hdr kinda maybe

ideal size 24-27 inches

[buoyant bridge]

googled it apparently that stock cooler is just typically bad

[ebon marlin]

Burn in really isn't an issue anymore

[true stirrup]

Those temps are fine

[toxic nova]

Is there a reason it never used to do this before I upgraded to the 3070ti

[ebon marlin]

Only way you'd get burn in nowadays is if you accidentally leave ur monitor on while you go on a vacation

[toxic nova]

This is under no load when I open a game it goes to 93

[ebon marlin]

There's pixel clean/pixel refresh features on monitors which help get rid of burn in aswell

[toxic nova]

And it isnt boosting properly too

[true stirrup]

Did you remove the plastic film on it?

[buoyant bridge]

they're not fine that CPU should be below 95C at all times and is gonna be throttling at idle

[toxic nova]

There is no plastic film the cpu is not new

[buoyant bridge]

its pretty common the CPU cooler that comes with the 7600 is just poorly manufactured

[true stirrup]

If it was under load those temps would be completely fine

[buoyant bridge]

Buy a thermalright tower cooler if you have the space

[buoyant bridge]

that's at idle though he said so😭

[true stirrup]

And sometimes I'm blind
It happens

[stray portal]

Get a be quiet it's so much tuffer

[ebon marlin]

Since I'm switching to am5 now I should prolly invest in some ptm

[pale flint]

hogrider

[stray portal]

Why r u doing this am6 is around the corner

[ebon marlin]

My 5800x3d with fresh thermalpaste ran at 50-55⁰C under gaming load and after a year or two now it's running at 75⁰C~

[ebon marlin]

I get this upgrade for free

[buoyant bridge]

no it ain't? AMD is giving us 4 CPU gens on AM5 only, and probably 1-2 after

[stray portal]

😱 How

[ebon marlin]

I even make money on this upgrade

[ebon marlin]

By selling my old AM4 kit

[stray portal]

sell mc seller

[buoyant bridge]

NVM AMD apparently extended it to 5 generations for AM5

[cold skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/burn-gif-20530397

[buoyant bridge]

Still less than AM4 but yeah that's a lot

[ebon marlin]

I got a 7800x3d for 270€ and a B650 + X870 mobo for 110€

[buoyant bridge]

That's just because it's an X3D chip

[stray portal]

Amd is stoopid they should've made the 5500x3d worldwide

[ebon marlin]

The mobos are untested but if one of em ends up working im in big moneh

[buoyant bridge]

Something about the 3D V-Cache makes them get progressively harder to cool across the first 2-3 years

[ebon marlin]

My thermalpaste has dried out by now

[stray portal]

I don't remember what server this was on but some uninformed idiot claimed the 5500x3d isn't real and that I was making it up for attention

[ebon marlin]

It's been like 2 years

I'm using MX6 currently

[buoyant bridge]

https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/5000-series/amd-ryzen-5-5500x3d.html

[ebon marlin]

Will get ptm aswell soon

[toxic nova]

under load

[stray portal]

yea he thought it wasn't real since he didn't hear about it and when I sent him proof they said those videos were fake

[buoyant bridge]

I am using thermalright thermal paste with my 12900K with all my fans below 1000 rpm and never go above 70C

[toxic nova]

I have another pc with a 7600x and it doesnt seem to go above 85c on a deepcool ak400 cooler

[buoyant bridge]

Maybe try reseating your CPU in the overheating one

[toxic nova]

I did

[buoyant bridge]

That's what ended up fixing my old LGA 2011 systems overheating years ago

[true stirrup]

Just get a better cooler and call it a day

[buoyant bridge]

so I suggested it, best suggestion is just pickup a cheap tower cooler (thermalright spirit 120 is my recommendation)

[cold skiff]

It’s because the cache is only half the IHS height and on the 5000 and 7000 x3d they had a composite layer placed on top of them insulating the heat. The 9000 series it’s placed on top so it cools directly to IHS without a composite layer insulating

[buoyant bridge]

That explains why they are harder to cool not why they seem to get hotter as they age

[cold skiff]

Well they get hotter because they’re being insulated. So the heat is trapped in the middle of the chip…

[buoyant bridge]

no they increase heat production as they age...

Doesn't matter if they're repasted or anything they do tend to run 6-10 degrees hotter after a year compared to new

[cold skiff]

Weird that my 7800x3d doesn’t do that. You got a source confirming that?

As it doesn’t make any sense it would generate more or less heat because of age. Perhaps if the composite layer changed in some way but I can’t imagine that happens

[buoyant bridge]

electromigration maybe?

I know that occurs on just about anything

[cold skiff]

Uh. Now you’re speculating. If you get me a source that says that go for it. Otherwise you’re talking out your arse as what you just said is completely unfounded

[buoyant bridge]

Probably thinking of this tbh
https://www.custompc.com/amd-ryzen-7000x3d-7800x3d-overheating-bulging-voltage-controller

I've seen a lot of people complaining about them heating up with age

[cold skiff]

Yeah that just caused exploding chips

Exploding, burning up etc. ASUS had the worst of that when the 7800x3d came out

[buoyant bridge]

AMD moment

[cold skiff]

Nothing compared to Intel manufacturing 13th gen with oxidation issues…

[ebon marlin]

That's a vendor issue

[toxic nova]

What about a Be Quiet dark rock pro 4 if I could get it cheap

Cheaper than thermalright

[buoyant bridge]

I doubt you'd be getting it as cheap as any thermalright cooler but sure

be quiet is generally better but for a lot more money

[toxic nova]

$40 or 50 aud

The thermalright was like $66

[buoyant bridge]

Which thermalright is $66 AUD lmfao

Even the top end stuff from thermalright is $40 USD

[toxic nova]

Yeah everything is more expensive here

[ebon marlin]

It's aud not usd

https://tenor.com/view/кот-кот-гадем-кот-крутой-gif-3270832292775664690

[toxic nova]

For example my gpu is 700 usd in America or 975 usd here

[ebon marlin]

I live in europe and I get my tech cheaper than the muricans

[buoyant bridge]

Yeah I get that part but bequiet coolers r like $100 US lol

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/кот-кот-гадем-кот-крутой-gif-3270832292775664690

[ebon marlin]

It's an used cooler

[rigid fjord]

can you not

[buoyant bridge]

till you learn about the fact your screwed on used business hardware there since the European version of ISL is permanent just like PSB is

[mellow shadow]

Was this a good purchase?

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/X98Pxr/innocn-25g2s-245-2560-x-1440-240-hz-monitor-25g2s

[glass perch]

what the hell

[buoyant bridge]

In the US you can unlock a ISL locked Intel CPU but not a AMD PSB locked one

in the EU both can't be unlocked

(ISL/PSB are how OEM systems lock CPUs to the board)

[ebon marlin]

Yeah man whatever that means

[stray portal]

https://tenor.com/view/catzilla-smack-cat-crypto-solana-building-falling-gif-5621074873575263491

[toxic nova]

Yeah the be quiet cooler im looking at is 26 usd

[buoyant bridge]

Basically they make you unable to put the CPU in another motherboard

[stray portal]

get the be qoitet its turff

tuff it quiet and cool

[buoyant bridge]

Intel's US stuff if you swap the CPU to another board ISL just disabled itself, PSB on the other hand does not (and isn't possible to disable period)

[rigid fjord]

grab an id cooling a620 pro se, it's only $29

[ebon marlin]

It'll be fine won't be affected by that

[stray portal]

Who

[buoyant bridge]

AMD and Intel both do it for their business systems now

[stray portal]

This seems like a dumb thing I hope whoever ecer does that mega dies

[buoyant bridge]

All OEMs that sell Microsoft certified business systems do it

so basically all the major OEMs

[stray portal]

what the helly

[buoyant bridge]

Intel thankfully makes it super easy to disable for US model stuff

[ebon marlin]

I'm buying consumer stuff not enterprise stuff

Fearmongering over nothing 💔

[buoyant bridge]

It affects normal ass i7s and Ryzen 7s from business computers

Like newer optiplexs and thinkstations are attected

[ebon marlin]

Show me an optiplex with a 7800x3d

[buoyant bridge]

Thinkstations with it exist, optiplexs don't they're Intel only

[stray portal]

Poopyplex are bad purchases who even gets them

[buoyant bridge]

They're a lot different than they used to be

[stray portal]

Mini pc in 2025

[ebon marlin]

My school had a massive downgrade some months ago they went from Windows 8.1 pcs to Windows 11 aios

[ebon marlin]

I can't find any

[ebon marlin]

How is that a downgrade

[stray portal]

And also we got vr headsets but we never use them and also they don't know how to take care of them they leave them in the sun for their lenses to burn

[cold skiff]

Atleast this guy is aptly named.. schizophrenic…. He’s talking some mad dribble this morning

[buoyant bridge]

Thinkstations P2s had it as an option

[stray portal]

Not really a downgrade but I just liked windows 8.1

[buoyant bridge]

"had" AM5 7000 is EOPL now

[ebon marlin]

Onglizzy

[stray portal]

Also we have 2 it labs and one of them got upgraded first it stayed kinda the same but one of them got upgraded later and that one is much better now

Like hardware wise I think the one that got upgraded later has better stuff

[buoyant bridge]

There are no Ryzen 9000 Thinkstation P2s afaik because AMD is absolutely dying in the business market again

[ebon marlin]

I can only find Intel P2's

[cold skiff]

Why does this guy have proper beef with AMD

[buoyant bridge]

Yeah they where discontinued at the end of Ryzen 7000 because nobody wants AMD workstations in that area

[buoyant bridge]

AMD just fails to sell in the business segment

that's why nobody makes business systems with AMD stuff for more than one or two generations

[cold skiff]

Yeah but you were beefing on AMD before that subject…

[ebon marlin]

Can't find anything that even mentions AMD i think it's time to take ur schizo medication

[cold skiff]

Show me on the doll where Frank Azor hurt you

[ebon marlin]

Even spec sheets only show Intel

Is pal just making things up to get mad at

[cold skiff]

Probably the type of guy that bought a 285k and said it is better in games than a 9800x3d

[ebon marlin]

First time seeing that in a tech space

[buoyant bridge]

NVM ur right I got them mixed up it was Dell offering them

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/desktop-computers/dell-pro-tower-desktop/spd/dell-pro-qct1255-desktop

(Dell rebranded optiplex to pro recently)

X3D was only available for the 7th gen stuff which is out of production now though

and these systems all have PSB so the CPUs can't be upgraded except by approved AMD vendors

[cold skiff]

I don’t get why you care about this

[ebon marlin]

Exactly

Because it's the Pro chips no one buys those

Those don't even exist in the used market

[buoyant bridge]

Because when the used market comes around in 5-6 years there's gonna be tons of ewaste AMD chips while Intel won't have nearly as many as Intel does

[ebon marlin]

Just getting mad at nothing

[stray portal]

https://tenor.com/view/sidewalk-bouncing-walrus-floompa-seal-gif-25649596

[cold skiff]

Like it’s designed to be used in a setting where enhanced security matters. Where you upgrade / throw away an entire unit and not parts. So it makes sense.

[buoyant bridge]

Because they can't like 90% of the Pro chips are exclusive to PSB locked systems

[cold skiff]

You’re just getting mad at something that doesn’t affect you

[ebon marlin]

Getting mad at something that doesn't affect anyone

[buoyant bridge]

its not that people don't want them it's that AMD chose to make it so you CAN'T have them

[cosmic idol]

windows 8.1 was the worst os ever made im sorry

[buoyant bridge]

its literally manufacturing ewaste

[cold skiff]

It’s enhanced secure boot… for businesses….

[buoyant bridge]

Intel has the same thing without permanently locking the CPU to the motherboard

[cold skiff]

And?

[ebon marlin]

And?

[buoyant bridge]

AMD just uses it as an excuse to limit the used market

[ebon marlin]

Ok and

[stray portal]

YOU are the worst os ever made.

[charred hare]

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/10/22/amazon-aws-outage-eight-sleep-mattress/?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social

[cosmic idol]

thankyou ❤️

[buoyant bridge]

8.1 had a lot of UI issues but was incredibly reliable lol

[cold skiff]

So when a business in 5-10 years gets rid of the unit…. And there’s new CPUs out… it’s ewaste anyway.

[cosmic idol]

honestly nothing is truly ewaste

[buoyant bridge]

That was true like 20 years ago but nowadays a 10 year old PC is perfectly usable lol

Ffs I daily drove a decade old PC till very recently

[cold skiff]

So you’re upset you can’t take and sell the cpu. You’re upset it’s stuck in a unit. Because it’s not ewaste… it’s just not resellable

[cosmic idol]

well, it can be waste in the terms of "I wouldn't use this for anything, not even a pc to remote into a server"
but you can still do stuff with it

[buoyant bridge]

Dawg what???

[cold skiff]

I feel I’m going to get cancer reading more from this guy

[buoyant bridge]

usually the used market for CPUs comes from them being pulled from business systems by tech recyclers

[cosmic idol]

[buoyant bridge]

The volume of business systems ending up with tech recyclers HEAVY out numbers the custom built and consumer prebults

[cosmic idol]

honestly not here

there is no business used market in my city

it's all methheads or people upgrading their stuff

[cold skiff]

In the UK businesses sell whole units on, they don’t take them apart. They have to pay someone to do that

[buoyant bridge]

rare case, but again the whole reason AMD pro chips don't really exist on the used market is because AMD made it so you can't have a used market for them

[cold skiff]

I’m still confused as to why that matters

[buoyant bridge]

what about when the shitty OEM board or power supply you can't easily replace dies

[cold skiff]

I guess I will come back if I can be told why it matters

[cosmic idol]

what if they're just so new no one has needed to sell them 😔

[buoyant bridge]

AMD pro is a decade old line almost now

[cosmic idol]

💔 mb

I thought they were like new new

[buoyant bridge]

it came around during the A8 era and has been like this its entire life

[proper gull]

Wrong. 8 was the worst windows ever made, 8.1 at least acted like windows should but it was still meh

[cosmic idol]

honestly
businesses dont care
chances are, if they have the money to upgrade a fleet of desktops, they don't care about reselling

[true stirrup]

And why are you ranting about something so old it's not even worth considering?

[buoyant bridge]

Because they still release new pro CPUs that will never be able to be reused

[cosmic idol]

sorry yeah i forgor 8 existed
that was cancer
that wasn't even windows

windows 8 felt like a fking toy

baby's first pc

[buoyant bridge]

businesses only keep systems for 2-3 years then they go to a recycler who will typically strip out resellable components and put them on the used market and then scrap the rest

[cosmic idol]

why aren't pro chips resellable sorry i kinda just entered

[buoyant bridge]

They're locked to the motherboard by efuses

when they're first installed they blow specific efuses to pair themselves to the specific board they where installed in

If you find a pro CPU on the used market it's a new old stock CPU that never got installed into a pro system

[true stirrup]

Depends on the business
A lot of them will just pay someone to destroy the system
Or most institutions (at least here) are legally required to throw the systems away and not allow anyone to take anything from them

[buoyant bridge]

Here in the US most of the time they just either pull the storage or have them wiped by certified software

[cosmic idol]

I kinda get the frustration, around the principal of it all, locking down pc hardware
but, in reality its probably not that big of a deal?? like
it would affect such a small amount of people

i get it, i just dont think it's that bad

[cold skiff]

It’s really not

It sounds a lot like someone who is salty they don’t have the opportunity to resell them

[true stirrup]

You are legit better off buying countless other processors

[iron glen]

Wsp MD

[buoyant bridge]

I mean purposely destroying a used market by rendering hardware impossible to reuse it

[buoyant bridge]

The pro chips are just X chips with the multipliers locked and a on board key storage module

[cold skiff]

If anything. AMD is doing people a solid as they can be recycled for any rare earths in their chips

Just up to companies to do it

[buoyant bridge]

they'll get junked because recyclers think they're useless

[iron glen]

[iron glen]

Nvm i can't

[cosmic idol]

if you're not standing on your desk to look at your monitor what are you doing

[buoyant bridge]

Also a lot of the systems the pro chips ship in (but not all) use boards that are locked into running windows via non disableable Secureboot and not being able to load new Secureboot keys

[iron glen]

Tldr its a walkie talkie taped to my jacket

[cold skiff]

(We need to get off this batshit topic)

[iron glen]

Oh what'd they do

[true stirrup]

It's a plastic panel

[iron glen]

Like besides make stuff unusable

[buoyant bridge]

They're efuse locked to the boards they first boot in

and the boards typically are locked to windows

not if ur getting the intel 200v
or anything new actually, most non gaming has already gone soldered even amd

Oh wow

[sinful cobalt]

yeah most laptops i browsed had soldered ram

[lapis talon]

I'm cooked

[sinful cobalt]

i went for an open box laptop with soldered 32gb ram

but if u arent doing big workload anway even an older zen2+ or 12th gen+ laptop is fine

unless u have high battery requirements

I don't think I'll be doing any heavy workloads

“beta dont redeem it beta why did you redeem it”

[lapis talon]

😭😭

It's worse when they're shit talking me because I somewhat understand their language

[sinful cobalt]

“dude dude ur so smelly I can smell your disgusting ahh through the screen” LOL that fucker knows how to be fkin racist

[lapis talon]

The fact that our old PM escaped to live with India's PM 🥀

[lapis talon]

Taking a shower in their country must be a luxury

I saw that there are stray COWS on their streets

Just roaming around freely

On the busy roads as well

[sinful cobalt]

indians generally just have big egos online

[lapis talon]

'developed' btw

[sinful cobalt]

or should I just remove the online part

[lapis talon]

Exactly

[lapis talon]

Ye

They're the same irl

[sinful cobalt]

like idk man nevermind the racist shit like showering and dont redeem it but like they are always trynna start shit

[lapis talon]

Prove them wrong, they'll play the victim card

[lapis talon]

Been like that with us in Bangladesh for years 🥀

But we couldn't say anything for like 14 years because if we did, we'd get abducted by the govt and go missing 💀

Anyways the laptop

[steel umbra]

I'm a Sparky, I charge forever and then I die to three skeletons

[lapis talon]

Is there any way to use the 2060S I have with the laptop without going broke

[sinful cobalt]

my aunt at work always get pmo’d by the indian managers

then one day she decided “alr fuck you im out”

[lapis talon]

That's awful

Id rather not work for Indians if I could

[sinful cobalt]

now that company regret that decision 😂

[lapis talon]

LETS GOO 😭

[sinful cobalt]

few months later they still couldnt find a proper replacement

[lapis talon]

Well deserved

[sinful cobalt]

everytime new indian manager they always piss her off

[lapis talon]

Problems of being overpopulated

(ironic for me, a Bangladeshi to say that)

[sinful cobalt]

thing is her managers before werent indian at all

[lapis talon]

Oh

Imagine dealing with them every single day

Id die on spot

[sinful cobalt]

Like every new manager thereafter were always Male Indians and always piss her off

[lapis talon]

🥀

[rigid fjord]

cows are sacred to indians, meanwhile everywhere thats not india, "yum these cows taste great with some onions, relish, mustard and ketchup all up in a bread bun"

[lapis talon]

That's what happens when Indians get power

[lapis talon]

EXACTLY

I personally don't like beef because of the taste and texture but

[sinful cobalt]

the only humble indians I’ve seen were only in the employee role lmao

[lapis talon]

They get so offended when you mention that you eat beef 💀

[lapis talon]

LMAO

[sinful cobalt]

but I’d still say its still biased towards very egotistical and wont admit their mistake

[lapis talon]

Give them a small promotion and their ego becomes overinflated

[lapis talon]

It's always been like that

Some dude messaged me and shit talked me for supporting Palestine a while ago

[sinful cobalt]

There was one other indian dude at my internship- Most of us think of him like a Snake and he drove the truck like shit

[rigid fjord]

that's true of many people, not specifically those from india

[lapis talon]

And would NOT listen to anything I was saying because he was right

[lapis talon]

Well yeah, but there's a huge percentage of Indians that are like that

[sinful cobalt]

Like when he drove the truck there was no sense of safety, weight shifting at all- The humble dude also drove like that at first albeit softer, he improved overtime

Other guy still drove, like shit.

[lapis talon]

Doesn't even have to be outside of India for their egos to turn into hot air balloons

[sinful cobalt]

Ok but if ur egotistical at least admit to ur mistake or make valid points- I have alotta ego but I’d say im not 100% pointing in one direction

[lapis talon]

He's too used to driving their 'Tata' 😭

[sinful cobalt]

put a cup of water in the vehicle and that water is spilled all over before getting outta the carpark

[lapis talon]

Egoistical people still make sense, even if it's a little

Indians don't, they just need to win an argument

[lapis talon]

LMAO

[sinful cobalt]

another type of egotistical people (apart from indians) i hate are the ones that act so delusional

[lapis talon]

Which ones exactly

[quiet light]

is there an app or something for music control? on windows?
like something i can put in my second display

[lapis talon]

I'm introverted so I haven't gotten into many arguments irl yet

[sinful cobalt]

the ones that act like they know everything and pretend to be “nice”

[rigid fjord]

they're called karens/chads/kevins

[lapis talon]

OH YEAH THOSE

They piss me off so much

[sinful cobalt]

I know one, my classmate-I havent opened the dumpster fire on him yet

[lapis talon]

I sometimes want to open up their thick skulls and see if there's anything in there

[sinful cobalt]

He’s so delusional, calling me low rank in valorant, a fuckass game I dont play much while he has a 1.6 GPA last term

I already have his combat data to flame his fuckin ass out

[lapis talon]

💀

[lapis talon]

Am I a rare breed for being able to balance my education and gaming decently

Specifically because I'm from somewhere that's next to India

[sinful cobalt]

idk you are you im not gonna compare you to others

[lapis talon]

Why do I hear the steam link sound from a slide thing in a meeting room

[lapis talon]

Fair

I think I'm done upgrading my pc for the next 4-5 years

[sinful cobalt]

my next upgrade will be a 6090- and novalake

[pulsar obsidian]

I hate how samsung doesnt release updates all at once for every device in every country

[lapis talon]

What's a novalake

[sinful cobalt]

Im likely to just leave my X870 Assrock steel legend and 9800x3d as is

[lapis talon]

Fair take, I agree

[pulsar obsidian]

Im getting OneUI 8 on my watch before my phone.....

[sinful cobalt]

next gen intel for desktop (not ARL refresh)

[lapis talon]

I won't be updating my phone to Oneui8.5 solely because of the huge chance of getting a nor-so-nice vertical line on my screen

[lapis talon]

Ohhh

[lapis talon]

Galaxy watch?

Well wait yeah obviously

[pulsar obsidian]

Yeah I bought a 7 in February

[lapis talon]

I'm still on OneUI 6 on my watch 6

[pulsar obsidian]

Of course im not using my smart fridge

[lapis talon]

Niceee

[lapis talon]

😭

[pulsar obsidian]

As a samsung family hub owner do not buy one

[lapis talon]

Sheeesh alright

[pulsar obsidian]

Only useful thing is maybe the internet browser

[lapis talon]

Speaking of fridges, I think it's time my grandparents moved on from their ancient fridge

[pulsar obsidian]

Googling recipes and conversions

[lapis talon]

Only realistic use

[pulsar obsidian]

Sales rep on their way to try get them to buy the samsung bespoke AI fridge

[pulsar obsidian]

I did install Minecraft on it....

[lapis talon]

Luckily we don't got those here 💀

[lapis talon]

Now that's dedication

Something I would try

I played Forza on my watch 6 using moonlight streaming

[pulsar obsidian]

Trying to use wireless debugging on a fridge is not easy

[lapis talon]

If it's tech, I'm doomed to try something dumb

[lapis talon]

I could tell

[pulsar obsidian]

And it doesnt help that the wifi AP is on the other side of the house

[lapis talon]

Oh wow

That is something

[pulsar obsidian]

There's a cat6 cable in one of the cabinets somewhere maybe that's something I should consider installing is a AP

[lapis talon]

I'm going to design my family's apartment tonight

But I got 0 clue on what to so

Do*

I wanna put the kitchen applies spaced out like they do in the US

[lapis talon]

That's cool

I just realized there's a huge problem

[pulsar obsidian]

Whats it?,

[lapis talon]

There's no gigabit internet at the next apartment

The location is pretty

Empty?

[pulsar obsidian]

Ruh roh

[lapis talon]

Any advice on the layout of the apartment

[pulsar obsidian]

Not my shitty rural internet being as shitty as possible

[lapis talon]

I wanted to put two bedrooms on the front of the house as there's a direct lake view

[lapis talon]

How much do you pay for internet there

[lapis talon]

Which variant is the watch

[pulsar obsidian]

So much that starlink is 1NZ$ more expensive

[pulsar obsidian]

44mm LTE

[lapis talon]

Sheeesh

[pulsar obsidian]

I was gonna buy the 40mm but they were out of stock and it was gonna take them a month to get me one

[lapis talon]

I wanted a 42mm non lte watch 6 classic but wrist too thin

[pulsar obsidian]

It barely fits on my wrist lol

[lapis talon]

How much is that in USD

[pulsar obsidian]

Half a dollar I think

Wait no that's euro

[lapis talon]

Like I pay $13 USD for 200-500+ Mbps

[lapis talon]

Ohhh

[lapis talon]

Oh

We recently got starlink in Bangladesh

But I haven't seen anyone using it realistically except for businesses

Rather than the setup cost, the monthly bill is wayyy too much

[pulsar obsidian]

So im spending 150NZ$(86US) for 60mbps

[lapis talon]

$50-$80 USD for 150-300 Mbps Vs $13 for gigabit internet

[lapis talon]

Ohhh

[pulsar obsidian]

Starlink is 159NZ$

[lapis talon]

But I'm sure that's your own personal IP

[pulsar obsidian]

I believe so

[lapis talon]

The cheap plans here like my one, use shared ip

So a lot of limitations

[lapis talon]

Sheeeesh

[pulsar obsidian]

There's a dish on my house that goes to a tower on a mountain nearby

[lapis talon]

That's expensive

[lapis talon]

Ohhh

Y'all got mountains there 🥀

[pulsar obsidian]

Gigabit Fibre in town is around 75% cheaper

[lapis talon]

I see

[pulsar obsidian]

It's not cheap to live in the country

[lapis talon]

I'd still take shared ip if it's gigabit because

I don't need some extra features

That come with real ip

[lapis talon]

I can tell

[pulsar obsidian]

I would rather use 5g wireless than what ive got right now

[lapis talon]

😭

How much is mobile data there

[pulsar obsidian]

I pay 59NZ$ for unlimited data, call and texts + 7NZ$ for my watch to use my phone plan

[lapis talon]

Yo wait that's sick

[pulsar obsidian]

And I get free calls and texts overseas

To some places

[lapis talon]

I would pay that over paying $7-8 for a set amount of data and call for a month

[lapis talon]

Sheeeesh

[pulsar obsidian]

Mostly western countries with a limit

I think the calls are like 180 minutes and around 500 texts

[lapis talon]

Oh

[lapis talon]

That's plenty tbh

[pulsar obsidian]

There's probably a list somewhere

[lapis talon]

You can call people online most of the time

The fact that we finally got 5G in our country a month ago but can't use it

A s24 ultra hasn't been approved by the carrier 💀
