[topaz shale]

okay this macbook battery life is insane. why did no one explain how big of a deal this is

ive been on this messing around for like 2 hours or more and 99% battery

100% brightness too

[formal sonnet]

Maybe they don't accept debit cards then. Who knows. The only 2 entities that might are the seller or your bank, and if you didn't get a notification from your bank... Well, that leaves one of them.

[valid laurel]

Someone on another server said the nvidia site is usually slow and doesn’t update when something is out of stock

[peak swan]

i forgot ipads have usb-c
mine is 30-pin soo

[stark kiln]

What. What.

[peak swan]

my laptop on snoow

[stark kiln]

Why is it so... cubular

[peak swan]

Because it's from 2006

[stark kiln]

That doesnt make it any better

[pulsar hill]

Is getting an AM4 motherboard in 2025 a bad idea?

[peak swan]

Well
I don't use it for the specs

Even if it is my daily

[peak swan]

Depends

[solar moat]

only very cheap

[sleek ibex]

[rigid fjord]

only if you're doing a build over 500

[pulsar hill]

I’m thinking of switching out my old intel mb for an AM, but Idk whether to get 4 or 5

I do have ram sticks from my current board which are DDR4

[rigid fjord]

how much you willing to spend for the upgrade?

[pulsar hill]

But am5 means i need to get new ones

[eternal cloak]

Mate has never heard of 4:3 before

[rigid fjord]

an4 could still mean you needing to do better ram

[stark kiln]

I very much have i just assumed it was completely gone by now, didnt really expect to see one working as a daily driver in the big 25

[pulsar hill]

around 300-500 dollars?

Actually, I think euros are closer to my currency

[rigid fjord]

country?

[sleek ibex]

I used to daily a 4:3 CRT monitor

[pulsar hill]

sweden

i asked my brother and he says am4 is dead so I shouldnt get it

[rigid fjord]

then we're talking sek or euros, and the equivalence of 500 usd

[pulsar hill]

Euros

Ignore dollars

[rigid fjord]

not quite dead, it be getting cpu's still

though am5 would be better

[pulsar hill]

I already have a cooler, gpu and psu so only the motherboard and ram needs to be switched for it to be more future proof

[eternal cloak]

Some Chinesium companies are trying to revive it because it's a taller form factor, though I reckon she never said it's a daily driver

[pulsar hill]

are there any AM5 boards that will fit a Montech Air case?

[warped island]

hello gang

[eternal cloak]

Apart from there being like 6 different Montech Air cases, just use pcpartpicker and it'll tell you

[pulsar hill]

Okay thanks ^^

[thorn escarp]

is turning my 2nd monitor off not enough for it to stop making my cursor go out of bounds on my first monitor?

[scarlet tartan]

Just do a Win + P and select PC Screen Only

[delicate wedge]

Time to buy the used one for $7 more to get 3% off if I buy 2 /s

[scarlet tartan]

Ideally it should just return to being a single display setup

[scarlet tartan]

When you use 100% of your brain

[delicate wedge]

Bold of you to assume I have one

[scarlet tartan]

It's getting very difficult to assume things these days

[thorn escarp]

gotcha

[wheat torrent]

its over

[wary ledge]

oh i was just about to ask that

[wary ledge]

i cant even open down detector lol

[odd sparrow]

I noticed one website is falling, is that just for 1 website or?

[wary ledge]

its the whole server

[odd sparrow]

darn

[wary ledge]

bruh whats with servers going down recently?

[distant frigate]

Uhhh why isn’t X working

[wary ledge]

man discord should be down to

[distant frigate]

I’m literally VPN’ing and it’s not working

[wary ledge]

cloud flare is down

[distant frigate]

Oh shit

[eternal cloak]

Nah

[wary ledge]

its cloudflare

[eternal cloak]

They use Cloudflare for their DDoS protection and registrar, their host is Google

[distant frigate]

https://www.the-independent.com/tech/cloudflare-down-twitter-not-working-outage-b2867367.html

[wheat torrent]

too late!!

[steel umbra]

btw why is suddently everyone using cloudflare

well, not suddently, since like half a year ago

[wheat torrent]

I mean

I was working on my website

and I just noticed I can't access the website no more

and I checked and cloudflare is down

cloudflare makes it easy to do anything tbh compared to other hosting providers

[steel umbra]

cloudflare had a breach so ngl idk why people use it

[wheat torrent]

for example they offer free tunnel/proxy basically I can buy a domain from them, host it on my computer and not have my ip address exposed

their domain tools are quite good also

DDOS protection, ai crawler protection so on and so forth

other providers will mark those as "premium" features

[steel umbra]

idk if it’s a ddos protection if they can get sunk themselves

doesn’t sound that good compared to other cloud service providers

[wheat torrent]

cloudflare hosts the whole internet

when cloudflare dies you know

when a random host service dies only 10 people will know

[steel umbra]

a random host service is unlikely to get hacked if set up properly, hackers tend to not target common individuals in low quantities

[wheat torrent]

true but they probably do not have the resources cloudflare has

cloudflare CDN goes crazy

[steel umbra]

yes, sure they do have resources… but if they fail fundementals like data protection (breaches), and i’m surprised people still used them despite that

[distant frigate]

https://news.abplive.com/technology/aws-cloudflare-amazon-web-services-down-outage-not-working-fix-1812306/amp

Jesus AWS too

[dapper light]

My own site got fucked too

[ebon marlin]

noob

[wheat torrent]

hahaha

it's hilarious downdetector uses cloudflare

[eternal cloak]

People have been using Cloudflare very extensively for over a decade lol

[dapper light]

I wonder if turning off cloudflare proxy works

[dapper light]

I mean it's easy

But yeaaaa this happens

I sure hope my self hosted tailscale isn't knocked out too

[steel umbra]

exponentially more customers?

[vale reef]

why do we make the internet this fradgile :p

[steel umbra]

it just felt to me like a lot of people switched over to cloudflare this year

[west arrow]

Is this genuine? https://allegro.cz/produkt/termopad-honeywell-ptm7950-40x40-0-25mm-naradi-b00b4534-59fc-47d1-81aa-ed879cc4f97b

[eternal cloak]

You're probably just tripping, 20% of the entire internet is using Cloudflare in some way and it's been that way for a while

[steel umbra]

unsure how accurate this is

[pure canopy]

How long until it goes back offline this time

[west arrow]

Its online

Some of it but theyre still working

On some stuff

[dapper light]

OK local tailscale still works phew

I probably need to move that off cloudflare proxy

[west arrow]

Whats that?

[dapper light]

Selfhosted VPN

[west arrow]

Nice

Whaz guide did you use?

[dapper light]

I use headscale

Oh and we are finally back online

[pure canopy]

I blame DNS

[merry nest]

Yo, cloudflare fucked for everyone rn?

I can't access sites that use it

[split prawn]

yeah…

[mighty harness]

what happening with cloudflare man

[merry nest]

Two years ago they pushed bad code to one of their ddos mitigation services and took down cloudflare

11 months ago there was also a outage because of a missing shell option

[pure canopy]

Can't wait for an intern or a junior member to get the blame

And companys to make up figures of lost money

[broken trellis]

Mfw your services go down more because it's CloudFlare than they would have from DDoS attacks

[pure canopy]

True

It's been so bad lately

[wheat torrent]

I CANT DO ANYTHING

[slow grove]

Hello
I was thinking to get an pc to use it as a nas and a media player. They will also run 24/7

I found these two which cost around 100€. What do you think?

Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s
sff i5-8500 8GB

DELL T1650 Workstation
Xeon E3-1245v2 (4C/8T, 3.4-3.8 GHz)

[wheat torrent]

Bill gates fix this shit

[hallow jasper]

https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

[pure canopy]

Steve jobs help us

[boreal fern]

hey guys, i need help, Lately, my PC's 2.5" SATA SSD has been at 100% usage at idle. I've checked CrystalDiskInfo, BurnerTest, and Malwarebytes, but these applications found no problems. I've already formatted Windows.

I'm running out of options, and I really don't want to buy a new SSD; this one is less than a year old.

[tired bear]

8500 and get more ram eventually

[eternal cloak]

Bill Gates is a retired man wdym lmao

[tired bear]

Hedt xeons are not very power efficient and do not support low power states

[slow grove]

okay thanks

[hallow jasper]

it is the end times

[eternal cloak]

The world is going under

[wheat torrent]

bruh

[wheat torrent]

steve jobs whoever

[eternal cloak]

Guy's dead

[wheat torrent]

that's what they want you to think

[eternal cloak]

People don't even know Matthew Prince anymore smh my head

[hallow jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/im-going-under-singing-on-stage-musician-scream-gif-14312312

sorry, thats just where my brain went reading that

[eternal cloak]

Dw, so was mine when I was typing that

[jaunty apex]

Only BC its so reliable otherwise

[broken trellis]

I've thought about implementing it on my self-hosted stuff but then this shit keeps happening lol

And I haven't personally had any of the issues CloudFlare is supposed to fix so

[proper gull]

oh no, it breaks for a few hours once a year or so

https://tenor.com/view/topgear-gif-5514845084069033414

[broken trellis]

Still more downtime than I have without it

With the added bonus of me not having to bother setting it up

[hallow jasper]

presumably want to use it for some benefit it gives you, which you'll then go without.

[foggy valley]

I like that aws and cloudflare always goes down when im actually trying to work

[pure canopy]

I ate all the cloudflare servers

[tired bear]

I use cf for dns , proxy and additional security with ztna
If it goes down for a day every year that is fine by me

[sharp hound]

Guys I might get a new world record if I want to

I was gonna create a new record of the longest working daisy chain of hubs and adapters

What do you guys think

[hallow jasper]

I think someones likely already done it and beyond that I don't really care

[sharp hound]

Doesn’t exist

[broken trellis]

I do use their DNS. That's a good product.

I could definitely have used it for reverse proxy, that seems super useful, but I self-host nginx proxy manager instead.

[round lion]

I always wanted to know if one can have too much network switch in a network.
Surely at some point it breaks?

[sharp hound]

Yet

[proper gull]

Domains at wholesale pricing and DNS that updates faster than any other registrar... That's enough of a reason, everything else is a bonus

[toxic nova]

we need a site to report downdetector being down

[sharp hound]

Yea because signal strength and comptablity

[tired bear]

Host your own uptime kuma

[round lion]

I would have thought that the routing tables (I think that's the term) get too full

[sharp hound]

Let’s see

[hallow jasper]

its back.. for now

[sharp hound]

I wanna challenge Linus

It would be funny

[hallow jasper]

would it?

[tired bear]

It will break if you make a loop with switches that dont have stp

[sharp hound]

Yes espically for a stupid world record

[foggy valley]

Nope been working on and off for hours now

[round lion]

I learnt that lesson once.
Screwed with my network until I found the loop.

[foggy valley]

Apparently Azure is being hit hard with ddos as well

[hallow jasper]

as well?

[toxic nova]

not for me

[hallow jasper]

as well as who?

[foggy valley]

Sorry misspoke

Like in aswell as cloudflare having problems. Azure is having problems

[sharp hound]

I have 0 tech knowledge so wish me luck I bet I’m losing this record but the point is to have fun

[tired bear]

This is why i do not allow unmanaged switches in my network

[hallow jasper]

you don't say

[foggy valley]

Once? Haha i have network loops once a year

[dapper light]

HTTPS easier than microwaving popcorn

[tired bear]

Never had it

[round lion]

I only upgraded my main 24 port switch to managed recently.
I managed just fine.

[foggy valley]

When you have large enough network it is bound to happen

[sharp hound]

I got the idea because of my cursed setup of a usb c -> usb a -> usb a hub with 5 slots

[tired bear]

Define large

[foggy valley]

Or just very messy

[foggy valley]

1000 network devices 10 000 clients?

[tired bear]

Got more

[foggy valley]

Built from 2001

[tired bear]

Still using 2001 switches?

[foggy valley]

Not anymore

But like two years ago when i redid it

[tired bear]

Which switches did you use?

[sharp hound]

How do I fix this issue I need usb c and usb a however all the adapters i see online don’t have enough usb a or don’t have usb c at all

I hate my stupid laptop

Dell you suck

[round lion]

I only upgraded to managed because the D-link unmanaged 24 port one was developing faults with a lot of the ports

[round lion]

Soldered on RAM
Can sympathise

[jaunty apex]

More adapters

[foggy valley]

On that site ubiquiti poe 48

[sharp hound]

Not mine

I got a 2023 xps 15”

[tired bear]

I just have stacks and stacks of Cisco c9200 24 port poe

[sharp hound]

I got max slot of 64 gigs of ram ddr5

[round lion]

Dell Inspiron 15.
I regret spending what I did when I could have gotten a second hand Lenovo X1 Carbon with much better specs and upgradability.

[sharp hound]

XPS is solid

I never liked insperions

I got an XPS 15 with a 4050

[round lion]

So I've heard.

[sharp hound]

Don’t you watch Linus what his name Riley or whatever always talks about his XPS

I wonder if he still has it

I might be confusing names

Don’t quote me

[round lion]

Didn't one of Linus' XPSes get rained on and he dried it out and it worked?

[dusk patio]

XPS, I think you mean Dell Pro Max or whatever the heck they call it now lmao

worst rebranding ever

[sharp hound]

No they still call it XPS

The latitude is dell pro max now

I got a latitude to test out hated it so much I returned it the same day

And got a XPS instead

[round lion]

USB and the various types:

[sharp hound]

honestly I think the carbon fiber hand rests sold me

[dusk patio]

like there's no way that someone at Dell actually approved this come on

[jaunty apex]

Lmfao

[sharp hound]

They try to be apple

Windows>Mac

No debate

Shush I don’t wanna hear it

[patent blaze]

hi, hope you guys having a great time..

sorry if I interrupt your discussion but quick question if I may;
my pc is 4070 super MSI 12G OC plugged with I5-14400F on 16GB ram DDR5, playing on a 2k monitor

did a benchmark and as the results showed that the performance of my GPU is lower then 40% of the exact model

What could be the problem, because it is driving me insane really ;-;

[jaunty apex]

Linu

[sharp hound]

Windows finally has Sudo now Apple fanboys can’t complain that windows doesn’t have “everything”

Power shell is still underrated.

[jaunty apex]

sudo rm -rf C:\

[round lion]

Took Microsoft way too long to patch the shutdown but it restarts bug

[sharp hound]

Windows is superior

[jaunty apex]

Damn you'd be great in the debate team

[sharp hound]

I don’t have to go through random shit to get games to work unlike Linux

[sharp hound]

Thanks for the sarcasm

[round lion]

Ubuntu, Steam and Proton have worked fine enough for me.

[jaunty apex]

I just got my friend who's never used Linux on fedora lol. Yea we had a hiccup with fstab, and needed to set performance profiles but he's having a good time :>

[foggy thicket]

anyone know why my bluetooth headphones aren't showing up as an audio device even though they're recognised as a general device and showing as connected?

[sharp hound]

Can’t run many games and you have to rely on the game company making a Linux port

Windows is widely supported

[jaunty apex]

Lmao no. That's what proton is for

[fringe prairie]

what a headline

[round lion]

If they don't lock Linux out at the anti cheat level

[sharp hound]

Never heard of it

[sharp hound]

That’s your fault for choosing Linux

[jaunty apex]

Never heard of Steamdeck? Or Steam machine?

[sharp hound]

Ohhh nvm

[jaunty apex]

Lmfao

Those run arch btw

[round lion]

Shots fired.

[sharp hound]

I still despise Linux

I will always be on windows

[jaunty apex]

OK. Have fun

[sharp hound]

Highly unpopular opinion in the tech community

Is what I have

[jaunty apex]

I guess lol. I advocate for Linux, I don't really care what you use, do what works

[round lion]

I did recently, getting Lubuntu onto a Intel Atom tablet x86 PC.

[jaunty apex]

Want to spread awareness Linux may work better than what you expect however

[foggy thicket]

linux users try not to preach linux to every living soul every second of their life challenge (impossible)

[sharp hound]

Was my dell xps 15 worth it really?

It was like 1600 with tax

[jaunty apex]

I mean with incorrect takes, ofc I will. There's other options and people ought to know about it

[sharp hound]

XPS 15

I got a 4050 ddr6 and ddr5 ram

CPU: i7 13700h

1 tb storage
16gb ram

Was it worth it?

@jaunty apex what do you think

[fringe prairie]

meh

[jaunty apex]

Idk how much it costed. Also don't know the current market for laptops or where you live so

Hard to say

[sharp hound]

I upgraded memory to 32

[fringe prairie]

cooling solution on the xps isn’t great and they limit the gpu to like less than 60w

[hallow jasper]

he said it was 1600 of some unknown currency

[sharp hound]

1.6k after tax

[sharp hound]

USD

[foggy thicket]

can preach linux but can't read basic english

[sharp hound]

I though we American here

[hallow jasper]

and that then requires us to do market research on laptops

ain't nobody got time for that

[jaunty apex]

https://tenor.com/view/johnnysilverhand-keanureeves-gif-19601364

[sharp hound]

What game is this

[hallow jasper]

seriously

[sharp hound]

Bruh I 🏴‍☠️

Not everything shows up at once

[fringe prairie]

keanu reeves simulator

[sharp hound]

I got it for 1600 usd

I plug it into a 4k monitor at home

[sharp hound]

Yes but it’s pretty good anyway

[foggy thicket]

i don't know laptop values etc but it sounds reasonable for a laptop. all i know is if it was the same specs for a desktop you would've gotten it for cheaper

[jaunty apex]

Damn you surmised what I did before looking anything up. Wild

[white pawn]

Like bruh, what the fuck did i do wrong
Like yeah, i technically don't need to and when we do school work, school has computers but like
Why does it matter if i take my laptop to school
It's just a laptop
She said like "are you a business man or what"and "maybe take your big monitor too" in a angry and infuriated tone
Like wtaf, i didn't do anything wrong

[hallow jasper]

who paid for it

[peak swan]

Ram is definitely ddr3
Motherboard is old intel (lga115x) and gpu is probably a low end Nvidia GeForce gt card

[peak swan]

No one
I got it for free from an ewaste drop-off

[hallow jasper]

That doesn't make any sense then.

[rigid fjord]

is that a single 16gb stick or are you doing 2x 8gb?

[peak swan]

Btw, this is the laptop i have

hey, thank you man, on the tech support i opend a ticket and the boys are helping indeed

actually crazy, F AI

[wise pelican]

Question: For the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360, Im reading that the fans are integrated. Is there a daisy chain point where you can utilize your own fans? Or are you required to utilize the arctic fans.

[rigid fjord]

you need to look at it through disk management, not storage settings

[rigid fjord]

the fans are daisy chained to begin with

[rigid fjord]

you haven't seen the news about dram chips increasing in price have you

[rigid fjord]

though saying this, the fans on it are highly performant

[mild charm]

I did, but I wasn't expecting such a drastic increse in such a short period of time

sample of SODIMM DDR5 2x32gb 5600 kit

[rigid fjord]

it's literally been 3-4 months since prices have increased

[hallow jasper]

@thorny saddle the kit I bought in October 2022 is now officially more expensive than it was back then.

$279

for just basic bitch Trident Neo 2x16GB 6000CL30

lowpoint of $107

[thorny saddle]

Yeah dude - its a disaster

I bought that kit earlier this year for like $115

Dbrand will actually send him this, yes?

[rough salmon]

maybe the front plate yh lol

[plain cypress]

I mean they can print stickers for all the solid panels

[rough salmon]

yee

i want the half life 2 picture on mine when i get it

[scarlet tartan]

Sup guys

[rigid fjord]

well if they're daisy chained it means they can be replaced, but at the same time there's no point in replacing them due to how good they are

[wise pelican]

I have noctua fans that I already own.

And I prefer to use them.

[rough salmon]

i want to buy this

[plain cypress]

Needs more linuth

[ionic peak]

Linus or steam machine?

You cant buy people anymore

thats just ridiculous lmao

[hidden frigate]

is my PSU dying? my pc has been randomly shutting off these past few days, so i open event viewer and sort based on kernel power and unexpected shutdown

How cooked am I?

Just happened again 🙃

[ivory mountain]

event viewer is so stupid like it can be ur psu, mobo, cpu, legit anything and itll just say kernel power failure

id test psu first, if that is the culprit replacing it can save your other parts in the event the psu decides to take them with it

[hidden frigate]

how would i go about testing the PSU?

[grizzled frost]

swap it for another PSU

[hidden frigate]

tempted to BIOS update as i haven't done it in years

[hidden frigate]

ah that makes sense. I don't exactly have another one around, so that might be difficult

[limpid ivy]

Pray it is just the psu...had the same issue also

[hidden frigate]

It's a pretty nice 850W corsair one which i think has a 10 year warranty on it, so if it is just the PSU then i can just RMA it, but I'm not sure where i'm gonna be able to get my hands on an 850W PSU to test right now

[limpid ivy]

Curious how is the crash happening? Underload?

[wise pelican]

My friend has been running a 3080 ti on a 550w psu for 4 years should I hit him

[hidden frigate]

it mostly seems to happen while idling or if i have a single instance of firefox open

[limpid ivy]

Because I was able to trigger mines just by running a port royal benchmark.

so any sort of heavy load it takes it for a little bit then the ocp or something along those lines trips.

[hidden frigate]

I've been playing some AAA titles that's been pushin my CPU and GPU quite hard for hours and hours and nothing has shut down

so all the crashes i've seen so far have been either fully idle on the desktop or with firefox running

but no games or anything intensive

[rigid fjord]

then you'd be using crappier fans in comparison

[rigid fjord]

if it's not the psu, something else is causing an issue

[hidden frigate]

My dumbass had formatted to exFAT instead of FAT32. Option was hidden in windows so I hit up Rufus to format it, now it seems to be updating

[rigid fjord]

transient spikes could cause the power issue @hidden frigate

[hidden frigate]

Transient spikes?

[rigid fjord]

what cpu and gpu are you using, and what psu exactly?

[rigid fjord]

it's mechanical, but the switches are hall effect

[white pawn]

Is it a bad keyboard?

[rigid fjord]

no idea if bad or not

[hexed sage]

If I turned off 5g would I get better data reception?

[hallow jasper]

Making my brain hurt with that question

We have no way to tell you if you'll get better LTE performance over 5G in your specific location with your specific device

you're asking for us to do a lot of guessing and I still had to make an assumption that you're talking about a cell phone

If you want good answers, try to work on asking good questions. Details, specifics, backstory.

[rigid fjord]

well? @hidden frigate

[hexed sage]

I'm asking if my signal would be better over 4g compared to 5g because on 5g my signal is very unstable

[loud yarrow]

chat did I cook ?

[hexed sage]

Recently saw a video about a guy making his iphone show up as a SRD using something called Misaka26 and mobilegestalt, was wondering how that works.

[hidden frigate]

Sorry was doing a bios update.

Umm I don’t think I have bitlocker enabled, but I don’t have an fTPM key backed up. Am i cooked?

[south arrow]

Just press y

[crude osprey]

Is buying a Kindle a bad move?

[south arrow]

If you dont have a key just ignore it

[hidden frigate]

Alrighty

[south arrow]

Itll allow it to regrab the system config/hardware and re setting it all appropriately as well. So if you have xmp/expo sticks once booted to windows be sure to re enter bios and enable it. Bios updates/reverts also usually go to defaults etc

[hidden frigate]

My keyboard isn’t registering. Can I hit the power button to turn it off and on again?

[south arrow]

Once its on windows login screen yes or try unplugging the keyboard and back in/diffrent slot

[rigid fjord]

well, it's not transient spikes in this case, but something else causing the power issue, do you know what model year the rm850x is?

[hidden frigate]

Still on the same menu since I can’t press Y. Tried a different port but same issue. I’ll see if I have a different leyboard

[south arrow]

Ohh hmm

[hidden frigate]

I can check in a bit

[rigid fjord]

okies, also this is why you use wired and not wireless keyboards

[south arrow]

Power down for 10 seconds turn off the psu. Then back on after 10 seconds and retry

[south arrow]

If its wireless maybe that to, i didnt even consider as an option

[rigid fjord]

bios access is a pain when it comes to wireless keyboards and mice

[south arrow]

I would believe it

[hidden frigate]

Okay I restarted the PC and Y worked

The keyboard is wired btw

Cool it sent me to bios now. Nice

UGHHHHHHH

[hexed sage]

It fixed it

[south arrow]

Going from 5g down increases the distance but decreases the speed limits

[hidden frigate]

Not sure if my bios settings had reset cause of the update, but it was tryin to run my ram at 2666mhz so I changed that atleast

[south arrow]

Yuss and yuss

Itll always go to defaults after an update to ensure no funky settings lose refrence etc

[hidden frigate]

Cool cool

you know that one that sent out an update and fucked people's pc's over

[lapis furnace]

So u mean to say this item is shady? Also nah i love HP printers, and been using em for ages

[hallow jasper]

Crowdstrike

i think

[rigid fjord]

i doubt it'll be valid ink, and hp is shit for printers, you actually want to go with epson or cannon

[rigid fjord]

that be the one, so many pc's died because of them

[hidden frigate]

sweet finally back into windows. thanks for the help!

no more almost 5 year old bios

an excellent example of how kernel level code can "brick" your machine

[forest trail]

saw a video about some guy using misaka26 and mobilegestalt to make his iphone show up as a SRD, can someone explain how that works?

they lost me at redsec tho

i refunded bf6 i didnt rly like it but it was a shit ton better than bo7 😭

correct because you have to be online even for a single player co op

[hardy horizon]

Me rn ... They are IP rated right?m

[glass crest]

But I used to have a 7900xtx merc310 and I’m wondering how big the diffrence is

[hexed tapir]

Nhd15 is now just overpriced and old, other$30-50 120 dual towers beat or match it's performance even in noise

[steel umbra]

they kinda don’t want to give you warranty if water damage is observable

i’d take ip ratings with a grain of salt

anyone know why when i change the res and hz of my dual refresh rate monitor it bugs out?

did windows 11 take out ms paint.
Please tell me what's going on.
I still have a wii u and doesn't connect online?

I think it's in the windows store now for download.
It used to be on windows 11.

[nimble burrow]

Whats better r7 8700f + 5060 or a r7 7700 + 9060 xt

[random gyro]

idk man im not updated on the new cpu gpu combos

[dusk patio]

nah, paint 3D was retired (even on Windows 10) but they still update Paint

[random gyro]

ms paint is there, dk about wii u

i never had one soz 👎

[dusk patio]

for gaming I would go 9060XT because more VRAM

8GB is not a lot anymore

[hexed tapir]

Number 2 if it's the 16gb xt

8700f has less cache vs the 7700x so it's slower for gaming

[random gyro]

bro what good even is the windows store

im gonna figure out how to debloat windows 11 then customize it to look like vista

[dusk patio]

You can use it to download and update programs like Spotify, Netflix, etc

[tulip sparrow]

In some cases sure in others not so much

I would send a video but it's on that phone and rn I'm downloading data for a game and it gon take a while to do that

It is better than any iphone witha notch or island tho because it a headphone jack

Hey guys, I have an idea for a project I wanna make with an ESP32 arduino board, I just don't know of any tutorials I could watch / use as a reference for this idea, if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome.

I kind of wanted to make my friends basically like a soundboard but with photos instead, where they can put in their memes and in like a conversation or whatever use it as like a reaction image since we joke around alot with that, but I can't seem to find any tutorials that would help me learn how to create this since im still very new to electronics and what not. I might also add buttons so they can switch around between the photos they upload onto a micro sd, and 3d print a casing for it so it isn't just the board and screen / wires.

[peak swan]

Screen is lcd tho, sad
And usb is 2.0 type-c, sad

[peak swan]

Holy what the
Wall of txt

[valid stump]

😭 gang it is like 3-4 sentences

[hexed tapir]

I'm not in school I don't want to read that much text

[valid stump]

bruh

[valid stump]

oh

[peak swan]

Almost the entire screen

[valid stump]

im on pc, it looks hella shorter

[hexed tapir]

Why phone so low on juice

[peak swan]

And idfk, if you don't know how to code, vibe code it

[valid stump]

does anyone have any tutorials for an ESP32 arduino board as like lets say a photo frame to summarize

[peak swan]

Because loom at damn clock
I'll plug in when i go sleep

[hexed tapir]

Hehe loom

[peak swan]

Also i swear that would be fkin easier to make as an android app

[valid stump]

yeah but whats the fun in that

I wanted to make like a physical device as a christmas present for friends

[peak swan]

Actually, like fkin elgato stream deck be basically that

Almost thought i misspelled it, but nope

[steel umbra]

mispel*

missspeller

[valid stump]

nah but like for photos not sound

or like apps

Like basically something like this but for photos, and that has like a forward and back button to switch between photos

[hardy horizon]

Looks like the M5 has a faster SSD (I did notice the M4 pro was a lil porky, not bad just not boom 200GB transfered so fast you can't get activity monitor to launch in time)

With my (some say abusive) chrome tab use with multiple profiles open at once, does the M4 pro raw performance come into play?

The only real like objective thing I can give you (don't really know how to tie benchmark results into performance like i can with windows) is I have gotten the bottom of the laptop very warm, and use about 10-14% battery per hour in my real world use.

[peak swan]

Wouldn't it be better to have a grid of buttons that each is a meme? And then when you press, it puts attachment in like discord or whatever

[peak swan]

Why so loud randomly?

[tired bear]

i would avoid 8000 series

[valid stump]

nah, this is for like conversations in person

[tired bear]

at best you are getting half the cache and half the pcie lanes, at worse you are getting x4 pcie for gpu

[peak swan]

Oh what the

Deadass just android app

[valid stump]

not on discord, its like basically mid conversation you pull it out and show a meme, basically reacting to like a part of the conversation in person (Like a soundboard)

[valid stump]

😭 again though, id rather give my friends something physical for christmas lmao

[peak swan]

Buy an old Android phone and make an android app that you can't exit from

And well yeah

[peak swan]

I still don't get it tbh

[hardy horizon]

the rain gets loud, also prob samsung mic zoom feature.

[valid stump]

lets say you're having a conversation w a friend, they say something that lowkey makes you shocked so you pull out the device and put the meme on it and just show it to your friend

[nimble burrow]

Whys that

[peak swan]

So just pull out your phone, open gallery app and show meme

[peak swan]

Mid

[valid stump]

😭 bruh. yes I know thats possible but its a simple present I wanna make oml

[peak swan]

It wouldn't get used much tho

[eternal cloak]

I still have one in storage, it's afaik a Nokia Lumia 550

[random junco]

a kindle reader with an esp32 board? right...
why do you even want to make this? too much effort and the idea is just like a "what if", its not going to be that cool

[random junco]

signal jammers with esp32 are much more fun

[valid stump]

yeah but my friends dont know wtf that is or does

well... it jams signals tbh

theyre gonna ask why would they even need that

[random junco]

to jam signals

install esphome on it and play with dashboards

ive found a case for the laptop...

[plush wren]

id prob mistake this for a pillow or something and throw it

[random gyro]

also a really thorough tutorial on making windows 11 look like windows 7

idk if i should do that in fear of it eating ram... but it looks so sick in the end

[plush wren]

wrong chnanel

[random gyro]

ill only use it when i go out, so no fear of doing that accidentally

[random junco]

heavy pillow

[random junco]

doesnt use that much actually, if youve got 16+ you wont notice anything

[random gyro]

2kg pillow 🤔

[random junco]

now that i think of it, a heavy pillow would actually be nice

[random gyro]

yeah the laptop comes with 16gb ram, so i guess it won't be eating half of it...

[random junco]

my head sinks down too much into lightweight pillows

[random gyro]

maybe like a quarter

[plush wren]

1kg pillow

[random junco]

a soft but sturdy pillow 😍

[random junco]

not even a quarter. not even a gigabyte

[random gyro]

0kg pillow

[random junco]

barely 100mb of ram

used like 3 when i used some mods

[plush wren]

yea same

[random gyro]

100mb of ram on my old laptop would make it cry and scream and beg me to stop

what the heck 😭
my raspberry pi zero v1.2 uses like 350/456, maybe they can be friends

yum

ill see if the video mentions anything about ram

cuz i need to take precautions..

[random junco]

quit the apps when u launch games

[random gyro]

https://youtu.be/FqKw_KCIGK4 said video btw

[random junco]

holy shit that looks heavy

[random gyro]

i said VERY thorough

[random junco]

linux is smiling at you right now

if my laptop comes with windows... i will use windows

i could probably set up a dual boot though

also i think ill just not make my laptop explode with this many things and use the surface stuff that doesn't mess with dlls and whatever system files

[gleaming rose]

W idea

[random gyro]

https://youtu.be/_xEjurPFLAo aka something like this guy's doing

[gleaming rose]

why would you want to make it look like vista

it's just worse 7

[random gyro]

cuz it looks sick

you guys are just mean to vista... me was even worse

[gleaming rose]

vista is just not as good as 7

[random gyro]

7 has purble place..

[gleaming rose]

vista isnt that bad but the UI was immature, 7 just made it better in every way

[random gyro]

i think u mean premature

[gleaming rose]

immature is correct

[random gyro]

elaborate

oh

well i do kinda like the vista ui

its just personal preference

we all have different opinions around it

Is it too overkill for 1080@165

[hexed tapir]

I got my free 2nd gen pros the other day from my banks raffle the sound isolation is amazing

[empty quartz]

My laptop is 3024x1964 120hz

[nimble burrow]

Nice

But what in resolution is that lol

[fringe prairie]

mac retina display

[empty quartz]

My phone is 2868x1320 120hz

[nimble burrow]

Only apple would have some weird af res lol

[fringe prairie]

Just a budget laptop /j

[nimble burrow]

I mean

[empty quartz]

It has a mini led display

I prefer my old plasma and iphones over mini led tho

Oled and plasma just looks soooooo much better

[rigid fjord]

tbf, that depends on the game, and no it might require a beefier server instead, considering the likes of consoles, and client side it doesn't mean it has to be such a beefy cpu

[empty quartz]

Ngl, oled is great, but plasma wins in a couple category’s

Specifically pixel response time, and refresh rate

[tulip sparrow]

I posted that about his Cities Skylines comment which yeah requires a beefier CPU once you get upwards in population and your city gets sprawled outwards a fair bit

[rigid fjord]

cities skylines, and tbf beam.ng tbf are outliers

they also can get ram hungry

[teal scaffold]

i should last a another 40k right? 😭

[ivory mountain]

tilted towers came out when that drive was first used

[high steppe]

I'm looking to use my pc from my room on the TV in my living room for playing with friends and family, but I'm struggling to find any ways how. Ik Linus mentions optical cables all the time but I'm a little out of my depth 😅

[teal scaffold]

this is my external 500gb drive i used for a while

good thing i just bought a 2TB enterprise WD

[tulip sparrow]

Optical thunderbolt I am pretty sure

and the docks for that are NOT cheap

[cosmic pagoda]

so, after completely reinstallin my PC from bottom to top after that i was unable to use bluetooth in any shape or form. cant connect to my controller, ps5, neither my bluetooth headphones etc tec. any clue boys n gals? windows is updated, also tried the windows troubleshootin which helped 0.

it worked fine before, yes. i also can use the controller on other devices and via cable.

[tulip sparrow]

Did you check to see if it pops up in device manager?

[cosmic pagoda]

mate, it works just fine via cable, bluetooth dont tho.

[tulip sparrow]

I was talking about if bluetooth is showing up in device manager

[cosmic pagoda]

sorry, here

[tulip sparrow]

Did you try installing actual bluetooth drivers from your MB OEM page?

[cosmic pagoda]

smart move. im

[tulip sparrow]

Since you seem to be using generic drivers right now which yeah

[cosmic pagoda]

before i had a veryyyyy striped windows version, and a guy here told me to use a software for all needed drivers, which may answer why it worked before but not now

[random gyro]

xp, vista, or 7 theme for my laptop...

[cosmic pagoda]

all of them

[random gyro]

[tulip sparrow]

I love the look ove vista personally

I even had a Vista Theme for XP back in the day

[cosmic pagoda]

[dim sinew]

gt710 gpu the best

[random gyro]

it works!

[bright anvil]

It's ddr5 6000 but it says 4500

[random gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/shia-labeouf-clapping-theatre-gif-15313749163340250467

[random gyro]

bios settings

[vague glacier]

im clicking cookies rn

[random gyro]

[random gyro]

[vague glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/ddf-mlg-wink-gif-15688443

[dim sinew]

its fan too
cooling homes is expensive not with gt710 🤑

[bright anvil]

It is very laggy like 6sec per frame

[random gyro]

because its your bios

[random gyro]

[high steppe]

Damn is this the only way? I wasnt aware it was just thunderbolt

[tawny lava]

Are these raceways good for cable management under desk

[random gyro]

yep

[bright anvil]

Should I just save and exit before I tweek anything than reboot to enable xmp? Or should I do it now?

[tulip sparrow]

COnsidering that is exactly what they are designed for I would say YES LOL

[dim sinew]

can run gta 5 on ultra settings yt video

[random gyro]

ikr

[random gyro]

bro idk im not a bios expert... enable it now

im only good at the process of building a pc

[dim sinew]

is intel xmp worth it?

[random gyro]

thats my neurodivergent flavor

[tulip sparrow]

There are a TON of options for cable management under desks

[random gyro]

for example... the magnetic cable organizer from lttstore.com

[tulip sparrow]

Uh YES

[bright anvil]

It's 6000 now now to save and exit and hope it doesn't brick. How long does the memory take to train?

(tbf this is an 8th gen i5)

[vague glacier]

fellers I recently purchase a samsung s9+ tab and it rips and fucks

[tulip sparrow]

Dell is 20"

Some sort of alienware? If that back is anything to go by

[buoyant bridge]

I paid for the whole laptop

[buoyant bridge]

[random gyro]

im looking at this with such a sad face you have no idea

[random gyro]

its so cool

[buoyant bridge]

remember when dell made cool laptops with socketed desktop CPUs and dual desktop GPUs (atleast the desktop die) in SLI

steam hates me so much rn im installing like 8TBs of games at once

[tulip sparrow]

current Desktop

[buoyant bridge]

yeah but im pummeling the i5 in my only laptop I willingly run windows on

[tulip sparrow]

Not really hitting that 5800x3D right now LOL but I certainly can if I boot up Cities SKylines 2

[buoyant bridge]

im maxing it and its 32GB of ram out burning a bunch of USB sticks rn

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah they have to wait since I am sure the USB bus is the bottleneck you are running into right now LOL

[wise quarry]

Hey guys is a Ryzen 5 5600X paired w/ a 4070 super and 16gb of ram @ 3200 MHZ a good pairing for 1440p?

[buoyant bridge]

I'm using a dell dock to connect all them rn so unlikely

[tulip sparrow]

I would personally double the ram to 32GB but yeah similar to my current setup with a 5800x3d and 3070 Ti
