I worry we're gonna see 5090 shortages again

[ionic peak]

rip

[plush wren]

fans keep going from max rpm to like lowest

[topaz shale]

why??

[plush wren]

Nvm its fine

[thorny saddle]

because AI draw on GDDR7

[ionic peak]

i kinda hate ai and kinda find it interesting

[topaz shale]

im kind of worried about the worlds mass adoption of it

[thorny saddle]

I just need another 5090 Master Ice

[empty quartz]

You need 1 of every variation of the 5090

[thorny saddle]

It'd be my 4th 5090 Master ice

[empty quartz]

3rd*

i consumed one

@thorny saddle btw, i got a new laptop

[maiden juniper]

saysI have 46gb of sh installed when I check and the highest thing is 800mb

[empty quartz]

Why the fuck do you have such a small ssd

[maiden juniper]

i fucked up the custom os and made the drive that was suppose to be just for the iso the main c drive

but to lazy to re do whole process

[empty quartz]

Windows doesnt need an iso

[maiden juniper]

I said custom os not windows

[ionic peak]

rip

[maiden juniper]

do you think its my steam taking up all that space ?

[empty quartz]

Game library

[maiden juniper]

can I put my game library somewhere else ?

[ionic peak]

i got rome circle thing

[empty quartz]

Yes 🤦‍♂️

[maiden juniper]

or would I have to reinstall steam onto the other drive

[maiden juniper]

[ionic peak]

you sure?

it can barrely fit a picture

[maiden juniper]

littery will never use this unless your storing gigabytes of that freaky stuff

[delicate tinsel]

Is the SteamOS on the GabeCube gonna be the same as on the Steam Deck? I’m just curious if it will be able to do everything a normal Linux PC can do or if it’s basically just a console.

[topaz shale]

its a pc too

[delicate tinsel]

How hard will he be to mod games compared to a normal windows PC?

[ionic peak]

or youtube videos and server things

[topaz shale]

depends on the support given

[ionic peak]

The Cube

[delicate tinsel]

Non mod supported games. Things that need a separate launcher or for you to edit files and stuff.

[topaz shale]

you should be able to edit files just fine. the launchers like thunderstore or curseforge may not have a compatible version on arch

[rose stream]

Which in the case of Curseforge, you're better off just using Prism launcher, which is Linux native, and you can access curseforge and modrinth packs and whatnot that way instead.

[topaz shale]

btw curseforge doesnt just host minecraft modding

thats just what its most commonly used for

[rose stream]

Yeah, they host a modding scene for multiple games.

[topaz shale]

from what i can find though, no overwolf service has linux support

[rose stream]

Is there any benefits to using Overwolf to anything else really?

[wheat torrent]

modrinth the best

[topaz shale]

overwolf hosts a lot of easy modding services

basically everything that doesnt use mod.io

[steep socket]

Yeah I’m fucked it’s time to accept my fate already

[topaz shale]

i also did like overwolfs instant replay software, one of the better ones ive tried

[rose stream]

Hmmmm...

[topaz shale]

its a decent service but no linux support :(

[rose stream]

It's basically both, just like with the Steam Deck, so you have a desktop mode you can use for using it for everything else.

[ionic peak]

powah

[steep socket]

Top ten worst CPUs ever made

[thorny saddle]

I am positive

[hardy horizon]

Hey so this is the first time that I've had an online game use this much data in 16 hours .. any idea why?

[left dove]

Updates?..

[hardy horizon]

None, first thing I checked.

[left dove]

then it's from multiplayer matches.

or whatever else you're doing.

[hardy horizon]

I have like 50 gigs of hotspot and assuming I'm playing at a time where there's not Network congestion normally use like 18GB maybe over the entire month...

BO6 was no issue, MW3 (when it wasn't crashing) no issue. But BO7 👀.

[left dove]

doesn't that game have streamed assets

[hardy horizon]

I mean I don't think my carrier will care.... I use 400-500GB a month and they haven't said anything.

[hardy horizon]

Yeah same as BO6

[left dove]

so there's your answer.

[hardy horizon]

They're not like streamed in the traditional meaning of streaming

[ionic peak]

over use?

[ionic peak]

hotspot?

[hardy horizon]

Both games are built the same.

[hardy horizon]

Like in general? usually I have like 18 to 22 GB of hotspot, the rest is all on device.

[ionic peak]

is the wifi bad0

[frigid blade]

It shows the lowest price first on stuff like Google

For the single stick of 8GB

[plush wren]

diabolical

[left trellis]

[distant frigate]

Also this could be high split DOCSIS 3.1. Allows you to get gigabit down and up on coax

[hardy horizon]

No the feet are only extended on the corners. The center has a dip

[steel umbra]

BAM

[hardy horizon]

Okay back to BO6. MW3 I did 27hrs, I don't think I'll do that this time because I had already been up 12 hours when I started.

[steel umbra]

💣

[plush wren]

💥

[flat cliff]

I've been looking at as much information about the steam frame as I can and dam do I want one, never wanted a headset this badly but I've never seen a headset that seems to check all my boxes can play lightweight games like VR chat on the go, I can connect to my PC for more demanding games and it has good tracking and everything and seems lightweight on the head and good screens and wireless and a lot of nice things.

Anyways given what we know about the competition and how much they price it what's a likely it won't cost more then x and it will cost at least x? I'm so excited for it and I almost never buy something before reviews but dam I'm pre ordering ASAP when I can if I have enough budget (I can afford 1k+ but its not worth that to me).

TLDR: Steam frame what do you all think is likely price range?

[sleek remnant]

dude should i buy new mouse? cuz scroll wheel is weird as fuck, and when im trying scrolling up and it goes down and up blabla (logitech g pro superlight)

[steep socket]

Reinstall the driver

Is it wired or wireless?

[hardy horizon]

That reminds me, I need to set an alarm to remember to eat so I don't get nauseous. 💀 Made that mistake before! Stuttering also makes me nauseous, extremely so. That's why I try to buy VRR Screens

[sleek remnant]

wireless

[steep socket]

Yeah try reinstalling the driver, the receiver might be crapped

[sleek remnant]

alright, one sec

[hardy horizon]

Can you manually see what it's commanding? Like you can with controllers and Xinput?

[steel umbra]

i’m fine with stutters, VR makes me dizzy after just putting on the cans and after talkng them off

so me not like VR

head/eyes hurt as well

[hardy horizon]

I haven't tried VR yet, either I'm going to love it or I'm going to hate it.

[sleek remnant]

still

[steel umbra]

it’s sort of weird

[thorny saddle]

VR is fantastic but you need the right headset and a good pc

[sleek remnant]

even it moves when im very slightly touching scroll wheel

[steel umbra]

if someone’s into VR i’d get some omnidirecrional treadmill once they get better and cheaper

you could also make a hang, mount yourself on the ceiling

gotta have some room space tho

[rigid fjord]

strong beams and mounts also

[topaz shale]

yeah you should mice have gotten a lot better for cheaper

gaming mouse market has gotten pretty competitive recently

[sleek remnant]

this mouse is probably 2-3 year

I always forget how insane my generator is, i plug in a 1500W load, and the thing doesnt even flinch

Only true chads use the Batman start menu

[distant frigate]

Freaking incredible

Neuroscience has come so far in the past 50 years man

[steep socket]

Holy

[distant frigate]

I would say the human brain is the most complex computer in the entire universe

86 billion neurons. Trillions of connections

[empty quartz]

It is, and the wire runs hot

Well, warm ish

Not hot

[distant frigate]

I’m confident neuroscience will make amazing advances this century

Maybe we could find ways to halt the progression of neurodegenerative diseases

[empty quartz]

And seems the heater is only pulling 9.375A

[thorny saddle]

what 1500W load uses like 18 awg wire

[thorny saddle]

then its not 1500W

[empty quartz]

I realized that

And the wiring is 16awg

[random gyro]

Well

[valid canyon]

a teapot?

a kettle excuse me

[empty quartz]

No

[thorny saddle]

nope

[empty quartz]

12a would melt 18awg if its longer than a couple inches

[valid canyon]

it's fiiiiiine

[empty quartz]

No

sure is, just make sure to cool them wires

This person had 60 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload internet before

[tulip sparrow]

Temper that sentellment by knowing that Valve will be charging "mid-range" PC prices for the Steam Machine

[shy ice]

Any competition to PlayStation is welcome in my books

[supple niche]

eh itll be 449$ for the 512gb maybe 500$ tops

[shy ice]

PlayStation needs someone to knock them down

[supple niche]

any higher and its doa

[woeful narwhal]

i doubt it will be 500

it will probably be more

[tulip sparrow]

6c/12t Zen 4 and 28Cu's of RDNA 3

[supple niche]

well, Moores law and another youtuber im blanking on built similar PC's for 425$

It was confirmed by dave2d i believe that valve said itll be competitive with pcs you can build for the same performance

[tulip sparrow]

The RAM pricing on the cusp of this getting released is NOT helping matters

[supple niche]

if its more than 500$ then ill buy it and put it on my shelf as a collectors box

[woeful narwhal]

the frame will probably be like 600-700

and im still buying it 😭

[supple niche]

yeah well its probably already locked in and tariffs are about to be dead so prices shouldnt be terrible

[tulip sparrow]

Be surprised if the Frame is sub $1k

[supple niche]

unless they have a crazy good bundle deal

still not interested in vr

ill be there when they put the port in my spinal cord

[tulip sparrow]

So far my first and only VR headset has been the Quest 3

[supple niche]

for now theres no games

[tulip sparrow]

I just need a new GPU to be able to properly use it and even my 1440p monitor at that thanks Nvidia and the crap 8GB vram on the 3070 Ti

[woeful narwhal]

i have used both the 2 and 3

i mean quest 3 is fine

steam link is fantastic

way better than tethered in or air link

[tulip sparrow]

To bad wifi is garbage for stability for me

[woeful narwhal]

yeah its unfortunate for those that cant

[tulip sparrow]

hence me leaving my Quest 3 plugged in via USB-C

[woeful narwhal]

my link cable has died on me and i dont wanna buy a new one

[tulip sparrow]

Wired PC link or ALVR if I am running Steam VR based games

Cables are roughly $30 I think these days

MAYBE $25-$35

[supple niche]

i will say valve has made some cool advancements it seems

that dongle seems really good

[tulip sparrow]

ONLY becuase 6GHZ is empty

[supple niche]

and its cool they went all in on the ability to play your regular games by doing the big screen mode

ik the quest and other ar sets have it now but its fully compatible with steam

AND the frame is legit a computer that can run games on arm, wild.

[tulip sparrow]

Once 6GHZ becomes saturated like 2.4 and 5ghz it won't be good any more

[supple niche]

woah, was just poking through the lmg staff and saw linus and i have a mutual server connection (besides this one) thats rather niche. neat

i had a kiwi but i mean if my current solution aint broken dont really feel like fixing it lol

I am a professional director and VFX artist and I need the most and highest speed ram I can get. I have a PRO Z790-S which takes DDR5. Currently I have 64gb of teamgroup T-create 6000mhz. What do you guys recommend?

[tulip sparrow]

I have a INIU Link Cable myself

Price for it is apparently $20 on sale

34% off the list price of $30

There is ZERO way I am paying MEta's $80 for their Official link cable

[woeful narwhal]

yeah its ridiculous

the hell warrants almost 100 dollars for me to play blade and sorcery for like an hour and a half

[tulip sparrow]

Glad there are plenty of third party options to choose from and that the community is expansive similar to the Pi community for this sort of thing so the known great accessories are easy to find

[woeful narwhal]

Agreed

I wouldve never spent that

the headset is already $500 lol

[tulip sparrow]

Right?

$20-$30 on a cable and I am good

[woeful narwhal]

and now you want to tell me i gotta drop 80 for the link cable and now it no longer charges while playing??

[tulip sparrow]

I just needed it to inject power while it was plugged intot he PC since the PC won't be pushing nearly enough power for the headset

I have at least a 65w GaN charging plug I use that gets plugged into the Iniu cable

It's a multi-port charger

I use it for all mobile devices except my Laptop

That uses its Lenovo Charger

I have yet to find any 100w cables that last when plugged into the laptop and used for charging they have all died within days of getting plugged in

@nova lotus 65w but it kills the 100w cables I have used which I would think would be overkill but nope

That should never happen unless you have one of those Jonsbo cases that require you to use a slim form factor cooler

can i connect valve index headset to laptop with thunderbolt 5?
Index requires displayport, but as far as I know thunderbolt video output is literally DP, so type-c to DP dongle should work?

[wooden pasture]

does anyone have a recomendation regarding headsets? I have a hyper x alpha 3 and this ones are the ones that lasted me the longest, i have add some steelseries too and other "gaming" brands but they only lasted 1 to 2 years and they need toz get replaced to, my current ones they only function on one side and have been like that for a year so i wanna change xd
My budget would be basicaly 150 euros more or less and i dont need the headsets with microphone since im using a hyperx quadcast.
I just want a good headset that lasts alot with good sound quality and confortable

[clear canyon]

Dont get a headset, get a USB mic and a good pair of headphones

Headsets are all trash

[wooden pasture]

headsets are the "gaming" headphones basicaly right?

[clear canyon]

Yeah but they are worse in quality and have a dogshit mic

[wooden pasture]

i already have a quadcast i dont use headsets mic

but would you go for any specifc brand? like bose or idk

[frosty oriole]

Fruits tend to have it.

[clear canyon]

Yeah bose is good tho idk which one to specifically get, i have the skullcandy crusher evos which is a solid headphones especially if you are a basshead like i am

[wooden pasture]

i was thinking about getting a wireless headphones but i had a horrible experience with the steelseries i had so yeah

[clear canyon]

Steelseries is also a gaming brand, stay away from gaming brands

[wooden pasture]

i dont listen to mutch music on my pc tho just outside etc with my jbls

[clear canyon]

I use speakers for my pc

I use the headphones for my phone

[wooden pasture]

ha yeah i dont wanna bother the people that live with me xd

[clear canyon]

https://a.co/d/czXoInf

I use these

Got them for 100 bucks

Very solid

[wooden pasture]

not gonna go for speakers xd

fiber INTERNET 😭

[wooden pasture]

yeah he was being ironic...

[woeful narwhal]

so was i

[frosty oriole]

What speed do you get currently?

[wooden pasture]

yeah i still am clueless about headphones lets see if linus has more videos on it

[left trellis]

HOLY SHIT 3090 for 400 MAYBEEEEEE
Im gonna get beat and robbed 😭

[woeful narwhal]

not just a speed thing though, its literally cheaper than our current plan + would be faster

[frosty oriole]

I pay $80/month for this.

[woeful narwhal]

[frosty oriole]

There's no way you're getting 400+ Mbps and it's not fibre.

[woeful narwhal]

nah

[frosty oriole]

The fastest that non fibre tends to be is 50 - 100 Mbps, depending on the area, which is why I only have 50 Mbps.

[woeful narwhal]

because this is what someone who lives very close to me on the same fiber plan as we would be getting has in terms of speed

[dry helm]

400kbps for me, everything loads slow

[frosty oriole]

Oof.

[dry helm]

depends, ranges from that to 10mbps

[frosty oriole]

Are you using WiFi?

[woeful narwhal]

wifi on ethernet

[frosty oriole]

WiFi is why you're capping out. Hook it up directly.

[woeful narwhal]

sorry not wifi on ethernet just ethernet

no idea why i said that

[frosty oriole]

Ah, okay.

[left dove]

me when coax exists

[dry helm]

I heard starlink satellite internet does claimed gigabit speeds

no idea since I havent tested it

[real quiver]

any idea why an smb share would just magically disappear on one machine but be visible to others?

nevermind i was able to connect manually this time

because fuck this pc in particular i guess

[woeful narwhal]

i also am on coax

[midnight wind]

me when I get "1.2 Gbps" on a gigabit ethernet link

[distant frigate]

Glad I’m on fiber lol

I don’t see a future for coaxial cable

[left dove]

I have 2.5g networking & internet

[midnight wind]

I do not and it says I get 1.2 on fast.com

I don't really know why

[left dove]

that's because the max theoretical of a gigabit connection is about 1100mb/s

[midnight wind]

It's not

[left dove]

wow it so is

[midnight wind]

you literally are not permitted to send more than 1 gigabit per second of data because its clocked to that

[distant frigate]

Yes this is only 300/300 fiber. I could’ve gotten gigabit symmetrical but I’m not

[real quiver]

i have 3.6 gigabit lan but my nas is limited to like 50mb/s

[midnight wind]

something gets weird with the math on fast.com

[real quiver]

[tulip grotto]

Bro I fucking hate technology

[real quiver]

that's the advertised capability of the tp link stuff i have

not like it matters

[midnight wind]

that's gotta be an error

[real quiver]

i am limited by drive speed for the most part

[left dove]

that's the theoretical max throughput of all your wifi channels, not your ethernet speeds..

[midnight wind]

oh

[tulip grotto]

My cursor is trapped on my second monitor and if I plug two mice in, it doesn’t pop up on the first monitor, and when I use the second monitor since it’s trapped, if I click on something, it’ll pop on my first monitor and not my second

That’s why I hate technology

[real quiver]

but like i said

i'm basically limited to 50mb/s

[left dove]

so rearrange your displays in display manager

[tulip grotto]

I can’t, it won’t let me

[tulip grotto]

This is my first time having dual monitors

If you want I could show you in my tech support chat

[wooden pasture]

and you dont know how to acess display manager ?

[tulip grotto]

I do

[winged sky]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-technology-patrick-hung-gif-5567497

[left dove]

drag them around and then hit apply

[tulip grotto]

No your not listening. I said it won’t let me

[wooden pasture]

it has to let you wdym

[real quiver]

i'm fighting a license server right now

[wooden pasture]

open with as admin

[tulip grotto]

Go in my tech support and I’ll show you

[left dove]

maybe actually post things in your support thread before asking for help

start with a screenshot of your display manager.

[left dove]

doesn't work like that

[winged sky]

Chungus monitor

[left dove]

4k 50" and 1440p 32"

[winged sky]

Gaddamn

[midnight wind]

Do you use 4k at 100% scaling?

[mint umbra]

Which ones are real

[winged sky]

OHHHH uea I remember you sending this now yeh. Cozy setup

[winged sky]

Depending on the site it could be some, none, or all

But that place looks sketch

[mint umbra]

It's AliExpress

[winged sky]

Oh. Good luck then.

[left dove]

yes duh

[midnight wind]

That's an experience

[mint umbra]

Idk how ppl shop on AliExpress you can't tell what's legit

[left dove]

so dont shop on aliexpress and buy from a proper seller

[midnight wind]

proper seller on aliexpress 🧌

[winged sky]

The only things I use aliexpress for are cheap components to use in projects that dont require anything too fancy

[left dove]

not really? I'm 2-3 feet from the display and everything is at an appropriate scale. I'm not sitting 10 feet back.

[winged sky]

Like little blower fans and standoffs or small thermal glued heatsinks

And the only reason I use it for that is because RIP radioshack

[warm bramble]

proper seller = seller with more than like 1k followers

[warm bramble]

I'm not sure this is the right call but i'd say all of them

The price difference is super minimal, it's likely they're all real

[halcyon beacon]

You wouldn't? Oo

[warm bramble]

And just some are dropshipping it

[midnight wind]

no because I love my pixel density

[warm bramble]

And I seriously doubt there's any replica OnePlus Buds

[halcyon beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/that-didnt-make-any-sense-hannah-i-dont-understand-doesnt-make-sense-xset-gif-22442789

[midnight wind]

I feel like I'd get lost in it being so large too

[midnight wind]

compared to me using 4k at 27" with 150% scaling I mean

[halcyon beacon]

You're not losing any pixel density by using scaling 0o

[midnight wind]

I'm gaining pixel density of the programs

[halcyon beacon]

Pixel density is determined by the physical size of the screen and the resolution, the scaling has nothing to do with it =p

[midnight wind]

programs will be larger and use more pixels for the same amount of ui size

I don't mean the physical pixel density

Idk what word it should be

[wooden pasture]

@left dove what the hell just happened there

[left dove]

idk, dude tried to hit on me

[wooden pasture]

he basicaly had the screens from different sizes and diff levels set up as equals what

[wooden pasture]

yeah i saw that strange asf

[left dove]

lol, no

[wooden pasture]

yeah weird ask idk if thats even reportable or smtg

[left dove]

I don't care enough to care that much

[wooden pasture]

first he was asking for help and arguing back

strange stuff

[left dove]

what, he wasn't arguing back

[wooden pasture]

wrong words he was trying to explain without showng it was strange xd

speaking on monitors im gonna get a new one to put it sideways for coding im starting to be the meme of "BRO just ONE MORE screen and you would be good at coding JUST ONE MORE

[wooden pasture]

get more capacitors in there

[harsh whale]

Apprently water got into the bottom part of the screen, when he turned it off and on it just started doing more shit like its possessed 😭

[south arrow]

Unplugging it for 2-4 days in a dry environment ought to do. After 4 days check daily

If it has a video/input button with the monitor unplugged feel free to press it 3 times just incase it was caught or some funkyness (after the 2-4 days of drying)

Can also take it apart and dry it but thats alittle more trixie

[median root]

Thinking of this to replace my aging 2013/2014 laptop (dated due to cpu release year). will be running native instruments Traktor with vinyl timecode and my xone 96 for djing. also Ableton live. to start projects and/or use live with traktor.
this is direct from lenovo as much cheaper and better spec than retailers.
any good? budget under £1000 GBP I'm in the UK

[south arrow]

Not sure how well that igpu compensates. But looks decent and should run your apps well. Especially if more ram then your prior laptop. Ofc id recommend seeing what msi has for similar priced in your area or acer maybe

[swift moss]

may god help me

best way to do it unfortunately

i avoid analog bleed

[south arrow]

You got this as long as carful with the traces kinda a tight spot actually more i look at it

Meanwhile my hand

https://tenor.com/view/kaishou-hand-shaking-gif-25498518

[south arrow]

Do you guys actually make the pcb at the end or just kinda hardware desighn concept?

[median root]

from 16gb ddr3 to current ddr5 (average has 16gb in them) so just ddr version alone should be better.

[random gyro]

magic

[south arrow]

Ddr3 16gb to ddr5 32gb will be quite nicee if set on that model no qualms especially with the cpu bump

[swift moss]

yeah we make the pcb if the design stage goes well

[south arrow]

Oooo that'll be the trixie part but you got thisssss

[median root]

and yeah the yoga 7 is a rare case of having more than average. but soldered to the pcb, not replaceable

I bought a new laptop yesterday and it’s making this noise when I get any notification

[verbal prawn]

peyton are you going to get any of the new steam hardware?

[left dove]

might get the headset

[verbal prawn]

if you get the headset get vtol vr

[left dove]

duhhh

[verbal prawn]

(totally not a shill for vtol vr)

[random gyro]

might get the new steam controller :>

[verbal prawn]

Hot take

[random gyro]

wait how much is it?

[verbal prawn]

i think the steam controller looks unergonomic as fuck

[verbal prawn]

TBA

[real quiver]

at least $1 but less than $100000

[random gyro]

im sure the bigger size makes it easier to grip

and ive been looking for a player 2 controller for quite a while

[verbal prawn]

i feel like the steam controller isn't a player 2 controller

[random gyro]

i could also get a wired xbox 360 controller (aka the best)

[verbal prawn]

8bitdo ultimate 2c is the best player 2 controller imo

[random gyro]

thats my main controller ;-;

[real quiver]

i'm losing my mind right now

this licensing server keeps trying to bind to an ipv6 address despite ipv6 being disabled system wide

i've changed every config file i can find

[south arrow]

Maybe? Browsing reddit

[real quiver]

i literally disabled it on the kernel level

[plain cypress]

I'll certainly pick one up. Idk if I'll do it at launch but I'll eventually get a steam controller 2 (2026)

[real quiver]

this software has just pissed me off since i first was introduced to it

nothing is done logically and it's all so jank

[random gyro]

just the idea of a controller with a touchpad is so cool,

[south arrow]

Spaghetti codee

[real quiver]

the way it logs you in during install is by hosting a web server for literally like 10 seconds and then going "yep your account exists!"

like WHY

[random gyro]

if i ever get a TV in my room, ill connect an xbox one or something and use a steam controller

[plain cypress]

The original one went too far with this concept

Lack of joysticks was a real drag

Steam deck layout figured it out

And this controller is just the steam deck design but, well, in a traditional gamepad form factor

It's gonna be great

[random gyro]

exactly

first controller thats somewhat different since the wiiu gamepad

[south arrow]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/networking/configure-ipv6-in-windows

Some stoof to browse if ya missed anything

But if disabled at kernel idk

[real quiver]

wrong os

i'm going through the install scripts of the software right now to see if there's some fuckery

[south arrow]

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1

Tried these for temporary?

[real quiver]

permanently

ipv6 is dead

[south arrow]

For Debian im seeing one more line whatcha running?

[real quiver]

i swear one of these install scripts is basically

"is this arch?
is this arch?
is this arch?
if it isn't arch can you check if it's arch?
is it arch?
if it isn't arch idk use this script"

[south arrow]

Bools one more time for maybe

Just in case

[real quiver]

right now i am just running bog standard mint

[formal basin]

Anyone know how to fix this issue, I factory reset led my laptop, and now it says no output devices found, I’ve tried installing drivers and it just isn’t working

[south arrow]

Last line just incase
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1

[real quiver]

the problem is that even though ipv6 is completely disabled the software is trying to listen on an ipv6 port

it's just flat out refusing to use ipv4

even though in their documentation it says IT DEFAULTS TO IPV4

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-star-no-this-is-patrick-spongebob-angry-mad-gif-9319809

Ipv6 like

[south arrow]

Have you fully powered down for 10 seconds and back on after? Also checking windows updates and its optional tab to see if it grabbed any drivers, and device manager*

Suggestions weren't so good on that site so I recant, but couldnt say forsure if those dont fix it opening a #1027757333117415424 would be good and include how it occurred and when. And what you've tried to fix it so far with an image

[formal basin]

alr thanks man

[real quiver]

yeah i'm done

just going to file a ticket on monday because this is absurd

it just hung the entire machine

[random gyro]

i kinda wanna build a pc, but i already have a gaming laptop that does everything that i do well..

retro pc? :>

[real quiver]

just don't connect it to the internet

[south arrow]

Still lookin

[steep raptor]

Is there a way to disable windows from automatically updating? It just turned on my pc at 2am for no reason

[south arrow]

Should have auto update settings that are togglable

[latent pasture]

even with auto update im not sure thats supposed to happen lol

[south arrow]

Or can set to only manual

[latent pasture]

unless ur pc was just on sleep

[steep raptor]

It was

[real quiver]

ipv6 is disabled on the operating system but the software is still trying to bind to an ipv6 address and it's pretending that it's succeeding

Even though it's not

[south arrow]

XD

[real quiver]

I'm complaining to their official support on monday because this software is not cheap

And the lack of license server means nobody can access anything right now

[stable beacon]

why are my inputs so slow like when i'm trying to screenshot it takes a minute or switching keyboards, everything seems working normally

it seems to be happening with specific actions with windows or whatever manages it

[real quiver]

I don't know what the license we have costs but I wouldn't be surprised if it's at least $10000 a year

basically any windows key shortcuts are delayed

alright, it seems to be the right time then

[ivory olive]

Yay. The PC I built works the first time

[pulsar obsidian]

Should I be concerned about my privacy?

[oblique reef]

is anyone able to help with my pc

[unique tapir]

The government has your data. If you pay a utility bill your data has likely been leaked.

Also credit bureaus have been breached

In the end privacy is non-existent

Everyone 18+ had their social, etc leaked in the US

Maybe not everyone but most people

Is it worth paying for ProtonMail

Not really?

Few people need ProtonMail and email isn't secure

You should also take into consideration VPN servers have been hacked

Even with a service like Mullvad the originated IP can be exposed

Even if you run a VPS and do it from the grounds up you have a lot to do

You're trusting IT "experts" who likely went to college and didn't pay attention

Your data is in the hands of people who probably don't care about you

Just use Gmail with Advanced Protection

The thing I've never understood about the "privacy crowd" is that you're not inherently responsible for your privacy

Most companies provide little to no compensation

For ID theft

The likelyhood nowadays of a server being compromised is pretty high

Is it worth paying for a corporation like Incogni the rest of your life

When they protect you for so long

[unique tapir]

Take into consider your OpSec is the hands of two people. Yourself and the people you provide your information to.

You're not the only factor

[pulsar obsidian]

👍

[unique tapir]

I suppose my point is you could pay for Incogni, Mullvad, etc your whole life and it'd be a waste of money

intel builds "worst L3 of all time", asked to leave Fortune 500

ignore the horrible timings, this is an i9-12900H, I can't change them 😭

[lament flint]

nah, but by your comment im not giving you the answer of why tbh. dont judge a book by its cover they said

[random gyro]

made a "retro" build list

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yPf8np

i dont actually plan on doing some real work on this anyway so its mostly for gaming and fun

also the samsung 990 is a placeholder, im gonna shove in something different

[ebon marlin]

What is epstein talking about

[lament flint]

.

[abstract wigeon]

b850 for $400 what on earth could make it worth that

[kindred halo]

The AI in the name

[rigid fjord]

crack

[winged sky]

It has AI in the name so it must be worth hundreds more

[abstract wigeon]

and yet an ai girlfriend is considered worthless

🙄 society

[steep socket]

AI is the most stupid gimmick I’ve seen in years

Its just a buzzword for anything with an integrated self managing software

You could call windows XP auto update AI at this point

[rigid fjord]

wait til you see 'neural network' added to it

[steep socket]

Oh hell no

[sleek ibex]

Welcome to modern computing

[steep socket]

This is why I just don’t want a new computer

I’m staying with this Mac until I die

[lament flint]

for aesthetics, what would look best with a black and white build? corsair air 5400 white, black mobo? black ram, black/white cooler, and black/white GPU?

[toxic nova]

Does anyone know how to make a windows 11 local account using the CMD on setup screen

[rigid fjord]

go with a corsair psu, and then you can use their white and black premium cables

[lament flint]

i got a fractal 750, so i might be using that for a little bit. seeing as it wont really show, its not a problem until i wanna have the build with me on gaming weekends and such. but so far, ive been considering going black mobo over full white. if the whole build blends white, it would kinda just seem weird imo. but with a black mobo, you atleast get some contrast in there that blends a bit more naturally

but my plan itself was to use the phanteks GH AMP 1000w tbh, thats now or later depending on if its able to keep going with the 750 or not for now though

[steep socket]

They fixed it

[toxic nova]

I just did it

[steep socket]

I think the only way is to use Rufus and tell it to automatically make one

[toxic nova]

OOBE/bypassnro

[steep socket]

Oh idk I don’t use windows 11

[cold skiff]

Dual PCIe 16x 5.0 slots probably does

And 2 m2 PCIe 5 gen

Tbh it’s actually a well designed board, great power phasing, vrms. Just pricey and you pay for it. It’s £300 for me which considering other more expensive boards out there offer less - makes it good value tbh

Oh and it offers bifurcation on AM5 which I understand is not common place

So actually - it’s a really good board for the price now I think about it

[royal scaffold]

Any idea on what this new feature on Windows 11 even is?

[royal scaffold]

It happens after I hold my Win Key for some time.

[cold skiff]

Google it

[royal scaffold]

I don't know what to Google.

[gusty wagon]

Maybe Bing can help

do an oreo build :> black case but white mobo and gpu

[plush wren]

[lament flint]

is there anywhere we can simulate this? i wouldnt mind the idea of a black case, but i choose white mainly because ive been so used to the black cases being thrown straight into our faces everywhere we go in electronics stores lol

basically never seen a white build directly ever

[random gyro]

alright, reverse oreo

white case, black mobo and gpu

what do u think?

[royal scaffold]

It did. 🥹

It is called Click to Do.
Only available on Copilot+ PCs.

black mobo and GPU you said? or black mobo and white gpu? 🤔

black mobo and gpu

but everything else white

what even is copilot plus pc

[leaden flower]

So I’m getting the 9070xt upgrading from a rtx 3080 paired with a Ryzen 9 5900x which I used a mATX motherboard and switching to an ATX because the 9070xt won’t fit due to the cabling right underneath the motherboard pcie slot of my mATX one. In PC part picker website it says that cpu is not compatible with motherboard if bios version is older. So is it possible to update bios even if it’s in the older version with the incompatible-version cpu?

[random gyro]

rich people shit

[leaden flower]

Pure marketing lol

[steep socket]

Whats it even doing though#

Is it literally just an AI shipped into a laptop with windows 11

[random gyro]

yes.

[steep socket]

No way they removed the fucking right click button on keyboards with a copiloy button

[random gyro]

you ask it questions, it gives you answers

[steep socket]

isnt that what the interweb is for

if it was an entire offline AI id actually see a point

[random gyro]

ai makes it less of a pain in the ass since you dont have to search multiple sources

[golden sage]

hol up, why does that mic look like a maono PD100X?

[steep socket]

its not that bad

[random gyro]

maybe... just maybe there wasnt already a trusted website with detailed information about topics and constantly changes... coughs wikipedia...

[steep socket]

wikipedia exists yeah

we need windows to feature an entire wikipedia offline partnership

[random gyro]

ai is useful for some things though

[steep socket]

like the Windows world library or something

[royal scaffold]

Basically the message you pointed at.

A scam

[random gyro]

maybe if you select a word or group of text on a word document, it gives you the definition?

[steep socket]

yeah

that would be an insanely good idea

[royal scaffold]

I don't want that stupid button I never use. I want a Ctrl key.

[steep socket]

like you could purchase a hard drive for windows 7 that had the entire wikipedia page codebase on there

[random gyro]

thank god i got a laptop before the ill fated copilot button

[royal scaffold]

I cannot carry a keyboard everyplace.

[steep socket]

I have my second control key next to the button

[steep socket]

Well mine is a full keyboard but it has some weird buttons

Theres a media center button on here lol

[royal scaffold]

Wow, turns out they got rid of the Ctrl key even for the 16" variant of the same laptop. 💀

[steep socket]

Lmao

My old laptop literally beats that keyboard to shreds

It’s a 15 inch laptop but has literally all the keys possible

[royal scaffold]

I'd rather have that Context Menu button than this Copilot key.

Much more useful.

[steep socket]

I find the button really useful in case my PS2 touchpad driver crashes

[random gyro]

i love laptops with weird buttons, example: the acer aspire 8920g

[rigid fjord]

a low spec pc that has copilot on it by default

[royal scaffold]

I think I am buying an external keyboard and mouse for now.

[steep socket]

Mine’s the aspire 5332

[steep socket]

I really want that laptop now I might look for it

[random gyro]

older acer laptops are goated

[random gyro]

me too :<

[royal scaffold]

Weird?
That's the keyboard I always wanted.

[steep socket]

I still prefer the absolutely ginormous aspire 5332 keyboard lemme show you

Look how big this thing is

this is a laptop by the way

[royal scaffold]

Wait, are those blank keys above arrows?

[steep socket]

Yeah theyre just plastic shells

[rigid fjord]

as i told you previously, you have no literal need for a 1kw pcu based on a fallacy and estimated power draw

[steep socket]

Theyre there to support the keys i think

[random gyro]

@steep socket u finding any other laptops?

[royal scaffold]

I am going back to desktops.

[rigid fjord]

this works up until 24h2 then it's a different command

[royal scaffold]

Fudge laptops.

[steep socket]

Why

[royal scaffold]

'Cause they are better?

[rigid fjord]

nope, there's a newer command

[royal scaffold]

And make more sense?

[steep socket]

I'm looking for a sony VAIO or an aspire 5720G

[rigid fjord]

why such an old crap latop model line?

[random gyro]

personally im finding a 17 inch macbook pro and an hp dv9000

[random gyro]

something about older laptops is fascinating

[steep socket]

has a gpu slot, socketed cpu, upgradeable ram

plus expresscard 54 and 34

[sleek ibex]

VAIO... That's a name I haven't heard in almost 20 years

[royal scaffold]

"GPU slot"?

[rigid fjord]

go dell instead then

[steep socket]

PCI Express slot

[royal scaffold]

How can they possibly have it on a laptop?

[steep socket]

id rather die

[rigid fjord]

not pcie, that's mxm

[steep socket]

ohhh my bad

[random gyro]

also, an asus taichi 21, which has a screen on the front AND the back

[steep socket]

that looks horrific

[random gyro]

windows 8 era laptops (the unique ones) are horrific

[royal scaffold]

Wait, they released dedicated GPUs for laptops as well?

[steep socket]

yeah

[rigid fjord]

and og dell latitiudes where rock solid, it's also piss easy to get parts and drivers for it

[royal scaffold]

I only knew about CPUs. 💀

[rigid fjord]

mxm slot, and depending on laptop model line, you can still get them separate

There's no way companies are bringing back functionality.

[royal scaffold]

I am drifting to closer to desktop everyday.

[rigid fjord]

google framework laptops

[random gyro]

look at this toshiba satellite u840w, it has a stretched 21:9 screen

[tulip storm]

How much storage should I get on a new windows laptop?

[steep socket]

The aspires have insanely easy drivers and parts

[rigid fjord]

absolute trash laptops

[steep socket]

5 screws and you can replace the cpu or ram or even the hdd

[royal scaffold]

Framework is not available everyplace.

[steep socket]

holuy

[rigid fjord]

i can grab the parts from 5-6 different dell latitudes and literally make it work

[sleek ibex]

https://youtu.be/DGHcX0YTPKw?si=l6K9MXgw4yUSK0IP
My type of laptop

[random gyro]

its shaped like a hotdog ;-;

[royal scaffold]

1. The amount you need.
2. If you don't know what you do, what do you do on that machine anyway?

[rigid fjord]

all different model lines of dell latitudes

[steep socket]

aspires will take any ram cpu or gpu from any other model

the cpu has to be socket 775 tho

[rigid fjord]

so did dell latitudes

[tulip storm]

Simple schoolwork

[royal scaffold]

512 GiB will do the job I assume.

I am personally not suffering with the same for sure.

[random gyro]

look at this beast

[rigid fjord]

they also took wifi cards, dvd drives, cd drives, extra hdd's, hdd adapters that went into the dvd bay, extra batteries that also went into the dvd bay, and much more @steep socket

[royal scaffold]

Why does this look like a tablet?

[rigid fjord]

really not a beast, easily cracks and breaks

[random gyro]

heres its bigger brother

[steep socket]

did dell latitudes feature 4 usb ports, 2 LAN ports, a cd drive, an expresscard slot, USB 3 capaiblity, ACPI backwards compatiblity mode, HDMI, SVIDEO, VGA and two hdd slots in one laptop

and that was just the budget 5720

and from 2007

[royal scaffold]

I still remember the first day I saw a tablet.
I was confused what exactly is it?
It has some weird version of Windows on it, but is a touch screen machine.

[rigid fjord]

on some models yes, some even included wan/wwan on them

[steep socket]

aspire 5720s had literal antennas for wifi and radio

plus bluetooth antennas

[random gyro]

@steep socket whats ur opinion

[steep socket]

you could literally pull the antenna out and some even had a webcam

[steep socket]

its alright

[royal scaffold]

I remember a phone that had an antenna for TV.

[random gyro]

isnt it a beast

[royal scaffold]

If I put that antenna near the cable line, I could even watch the channels I had on the TV.

[rigid fjord]

wow 3 basic antenneas most dells had by default, just for the wifi card and BT, when it comes to wan/wwan they had an extra 4th and 5th antenna and did 3g/4g on them

[steep socket]

if i remember correctly the 5720 sometimes picked up frwuencies from mouse and keyboard and you could hear the antenna and controller chips

[random gyro]

btw whats your favorite laptop from the last 15 years?

[steep socket]

3/5g is irellevant for a laptop

[royal scaffold]

Why do I feel like old laptops were peak engineering?

[steep socket]

aspire 5720G C2D edition

[royal scaffold]

ThinkPad T410.

🔨

[random gyro]

cuz they are, crammed in every feature on the book and added new features to see what sticks to the wall

[rigid fjord]

not for when it's a business laptop, and literally took a beating to compete with 'toughbooks'

[steep socket]

it was at a time where literally everything was new and no manufacturer knew what consumers used the most

[royal scaffold]

The days before Telemetry. 💀

[steep socket]

the aspire 5720 had all that and was a literal budget laptop

[rigid fjord]

and having 3g/4g on a laptop means no finding hotspots with a phone

[fallow yacht]

why the fuck are my speeds acting like adsl now

[steep socket]

700 dollars on release iirc

[random gyro]

mine is the acer predator 21x, it had dual gtx 1080 (ti i think) in it, core i9, and it needed two power bricks to be charged

[steep socket]

i can just plug in my phone and it will auto scan the drivers and i can just use 5g without a card inside

on windows xp

theoretically, its easy to do but im yet to buy one

[random gyro]

you know its a beast when linus is looking at it in FEAR

[steep socket]

did i also mention the insane BIOS which allows you to run anything from windows 2000 to windows 11 23H2 with full driver support

[sleek ibex]

Imagine using one of these in public

[random gyro]

there is a video

https://youtube.com/shorts/MlB-g4Ckf5I?si=RFwClwHx3kzfyRPu

[rigid fjord]

this isn't dsl speeds dude, this is low end fibre speed

[fallow yacht]

i was comparing it to adsl mate; fibre should be equal both download and upload

and yeah i recently noticed the 6% packet loss

[rigid fjord]

nope, that's synchronous fibre, you can have asynchronous fibre also

[fallow yacht]

well it was equally the same before so there's definitely something wrong

and idk how to fix it

been like that since i disabled ipv6 which redirected shit to shitty routes

[rigid fjord]

@toxic nova this is for 24h2 onwards

[fallow yacht]

or maybe cloudflare dns just sucks lmao

[rigid fjord]

you're doing ipv4 basically, and ipv6 is just about more newer ip versions

[fallow yacht]

lemme try switching back to google

[rigid fjord]

because ipv4 address's have currently ran out

[fallow yacht]

exactly and my ISP decided to route ipv6 to some weird shit which was partly the reason why on fast.com it's at the supposed 300 mbps speed while in cloudflare it's like 20-30 mbps

google dns:

atleast there's no packet loss now

nvm i spoke too soon

[random gyro]

hello who is online

[sleek remnant]

dude what the fuck is happening, why did windows update just broke my internet

steam doesnt work but store page works, and chrome works and discord

and even in minecraft i cannot join

[robust swift]

weird q to ask here, anyone know of any good 80-100% keyboard frames with fingerprint and or a volume wheel?

[sleek remnant]

garbage windows

[random junco]

nobody at all

[fallow yacht]

check dns settings

[scarlet tartan]

Just restart once and see if that fixes it, sometimes it's a driver issue

[sleek remnant]

i did, even reinstalled

[sleek remnant]

i tried different, didnt work

seriously what the fuck, how come discord works

like i've updated windows yesterday, and after that it doesnt work

[random junco]

type 1.1.1.1 in ur browser see if it visits the site

[sleek remnant]

wbat the fuck

yeah it doenst work

[random junco]

whaa

[sleek remnant]

even 8.8.8.8

[random junco]

wait this happened to me a while ago but the system time was wrong and when I synced it then it fixed

what's the time in the taskbar

[sleek remnant]

13:13

[random junco]

is that right for you

[sleek remnant]

yeah UK

[random junco]

oh same

try flushing dns? other than that I don't really know other than changing the connection method

[sleek remnant]

i did

even reset the network

[random junco]

ping Google.com cmd?

[sleek remnant]

why its pinging ipv6

[rigid fjord]

it works but converts to this

[rigid fjord]

for 8.8.8.8

[sleek remnant]

it works

[random junco]

do ping google.com -4 for ipv4

[sleek remnant]

bruh i dont really know how to fix

[rigid fjord]

<- uk here

[random junco]

so ipv4 does work then

interesting

[random gyro]

just reset the network driver

[sleek remnant]

i did

[random junco]

they tried that

[random gyro]

are u using warp?

[sleek remnant]

no?

[sleek remnant]

cool, minecraft api doesnt work aswell

i mean auth or something to get in game

[rigid fjord]

if it's not network driver related, then it could be router or dns

[sleek remnant]

should i turn off then on router?

[random gyro]

are you using some sort of anti virus? you changed firewall settings?

[rigid fjord]

you could try restarting the router

[random gyro]

true

[rigid fjord]

and this isn't an antivirus issue

well unless they've gotten a fake one

[sleek remnant]

ohh fuck yeah, it works now

thanks

[random gyro]

yeah router restart does magic

[sleek remnant]

eveything is fresh, just curious after windows update broke something, turns out its fucking router

[sacred vine]

ok ok ok so steam machine right
the steam machine is kind of a pc right?
and it has SteamOS
now, listen

dedicated standalone SteamOS for PC to brutally murderize Windows 11 🧠

[rigid fjord]

it happens

if in doubt, turn everything off then back on again

[thorny saddle]

Its called Linux, and it exists today, and its not as usable

[sacred vine]

yes yes everyone knows Linux is a thing but the point is it's not as easy to install and use as windows

I think with Valve's backing something like a dedicated SteamOS could definitely match windows because the OS already proved itself well enough
and clearly there's a demand for Linux

[tired bear]

People dont know and dont want to learn whats on the other side of the fence, one fenced area is apple ecosystem, one is Microsoft

[thorny saddle]

pop_os is extremely simple

Steam OS is not going to solve all the worlds problems

(and I would argue that there aren't many to begin with)

[sacred vine]

There aren't so many problems that my PC is going to blow up if I keep using Windows 11 but seeing some of the stuff Microsoft puts out
I'm not entirely sure if that whole issue has been resolved but like what do you MEAN you're erasing people's SSDs with an update

[thorny saddle]

That's not happening

[sacred vine]

What do you mean that's not happening

[thorny saddle]

Its not happening

[sacred vine]

What do you mean that's not happening (2)

Elaborate

[thorny saddle]

No

[latent gull]

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-says-recent-KB5063878-windows-update-didnt-kill-your-ssd/

[thorny saddle]

@sacred vine elaborate

Stop wasting peoples time with myths

[latent gull]

You made the claim, it’s kinda on you to elaborate

[sacred vine]

Ok now hang on what's with the antagonizm I just stated an issue that was widely talked about before

like wasn't this an entire big thing that was claimed to be true
Weren't there SEVERAL cases of it happening

[latent gull]

You repeated clickbait headlines and then doubled down when told you were wrong

With no evidence or attempt at proof

That’s how to elaborate btw

[thorny saddle]

"I don't like what I am seeing - Microsoft is erasing peoples SSDs"
"Wenere't there SEVERAL cases of it happening?"

Ridiculous, truly.

[cold skiff]

I’d argue it creates more

[sacred vine]

I'm asking for clarification why am I being double teamed
I didn't "double down" on the SSDs being erased this was a whole THING

[thorny saddle]

Firstly - there's how many 10's of millions of copies of Windows 11 installed? Then you back it up with "SEVERAL" examples, then it was actually debunked by Microsoft and other researchers - it was a freaking beta firmware on certain NVMe devices released to reviewers....

[sacred vine]

I didn't "back it up" with "SEVERAL" examples I'm asking because this was a whole THING two months ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbFIUu_7LIc&t=546s

[cold skiff]

Well over a month late

[sacred vine]

well that is fine if that is entirely fixed that's good I'm not out here making the claim it's still happening

but microsoft is still using its position as something that's almost a monopoly to put out sub-par stuff

[cold skiff]

Jay scaremongered tbh. He always does

@steep socket@random gyro heres an old dell laptop, the robust kind before they changed it's looks

[random gyro]

its beautiful

[rigid fjord]

you could run win7 on it tbh, or linux

and one of the fun things is the display it had

[sacred vine]

I'm not going to make any statements because I'm not 100% sure and I'm not out as a hired agent to fearmonger about microsoft but wasn't it the case that they're using a large amount of AI for their coding

14.1" screen that was 2500 x 1600 @random gyro

[sacred vine]

like my point is Microsoft engages in some shady shit because there's nothing that really directly competes with them

[random gyro]

for realsies?

[brave brook]

taking the video from the middle of an investigation few months after the fact... The reality is that all those SSD failures were down to SSD manufacturers using pre-release version of Phison firmware. But no, let's blame Microsoft for every issue we had. Like when people blamed Microsoft for Vista crashing a lot - meanwhile 30% of it were NVIDIA drivers, 10% ATI, 9% Intel. Microsoft itself was responsible for 20% of crashes, but got 100% of hate.

[rigid fjord]

yeah
