I have an OLED main monitor + cheap office monitor as my 2nd monitor

[winged sky]

Humidity and electronics aren't friends, but i doubt it will actually harm anything unless you're filling the room with steam

Things are more likely to corrode over time in high humidity as well

[storm mason]

Holy fuck

[ebon marlin]

I know but I need a humidifier especially during winter season here in Finland lmao

[storm mason]

The jokes write themselves

[winged sky]

Might wanna run memtest86

[storm mason]

Loaded up fine now.

[indigo lintel]

Hello echo

[kindred halo]

I think it'd be a good idea if I invested in decent WiFi for my PC,,,,,

Since ethernet is unfortunately becoming a walking hazard lmao

[grizzled frost]

why have wifi when can have- ah nvm

everyone can have ethernet, some just lack the will

[steel umbra]

yeah... beginning the death for pascal

[kindred halo]

I have ethernet, I've been using it for a decade, but unfortunately; It's becoming an issue, pretty much becoming a walking hazard for some family members even with a doormat above the cable

[grizzled frost]

stand alone house or apartment complex

[kindred halo]

And I can't route it through a wall or something neither the space nor the know-how

[grizzled frost]

bought or rented

[kindred halo]

Apartment complex, owned

[grizzled frost]

ah that's unfortunate

apartment complex complicates it majorly

I opted to run ethernet along the crown molding and the floor molding

i just got some flat white cat6a

[kindred halo]

I mean, if I had the know-how, I'd just route it through the space under the door then up the wall

[gleaming rose]

hi iroh

and phantom

[grizzled frost]

i had to go around 2 doorways for my run, i just went all the way around, hides really well if you take the time

[kindred halo]

It's not hard, but too risky trying it with a wood doorframe and cinderblock walls

[grizzled frost]

Hiya!

[kindred halo]

Hi ech0

[grizzled frost]

CAR

[gleaming rose]

vroom

[kindred halo]

Kttiy :3

[grizzled frost]

i'm so glad the mac air supports charging via USB-C so i can use a chromebook charger since i left my charger at home

thought my laptop was charged, turns out it came unplugged right after i plugged it in, woke up to it being at 12%

[kindred halo]

What's the minimum wattage it'll take

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/gt86-toyota-86-drift-slide-gif-27343650

[grizzled frost]

no idea, but a chromebook charger is enough to actually charge it

[kindred halo]

So probably any decent mobile adapter could charge it?

[grizzled frost]

definitely slower than my dedicated charger, but good enough in a pinch

[kindred halo]

Not fast yes, but the laptop not losing percentage at the minimum is more than enough tbh

[grizzled frost]

it's gaining charge as well

[ornate harbor]

hehe car

[grizzled frost]

albeit at about 1/3rd the rate it normally would

anyone know where you can buy ubiquiti C13 cables? i love their braided power cables

[kindred halo]

Then it's a good enough charger :3

[grizzled frost]

i can't find any quality braided C13 cables

[grizzled frost]

Yeah, big thanks to my classmate that let me borrow it

brick says 15w, so not that far off from my 35w mac charger

[kindred halo]

Thanking them aswell too for helpin ya

[grizzled frost]

now i can yap on discord for longer!

[kindred halo]

OH I thought the mac would have like 65w?? If it's 35 then even my Samsung adapter can work lmao

[kindred halo]

Yippee!!!!!

[grizzled frost]

i think i got the default 35w instead of the 70w charger you can pay a bit more for

i was a bit limited on my customizations because i got the education discount version

saved about 100usd

not sure if the USB-C can support the full 70w charging though

[tepid kelp]

Is there a way to make wind10 crtl alt del directly open task manager?

[kindred halo]

Half the wattage, but honestly enough

[ebon marlin]

https://videocardz.com/newz/redditor-receives-rocks-instead-of-1200-rtx-5080-gpu-best-buy-investigation-finds-no-issue

[grizzled frost]

ctrl + alt + esc is the shortcut for task manager

took me embarrassingly long to find that out myself

[kindred halo]

Oh btw, returning to the WiFi point.. Which of these two cards do you think I should get?
Both have an "Intel chip" - exact model unknown

[grizzled frost]

learning the different shortcuts for 3 OS's and trying to remember them all makes my brain hurt

[kindred halo]

I just learned this lmao

[grizzled frost]

the Wifi 6e one, incase you ever want to use the 6ghz band with a compatible AP

[tepid kelp]

Bluetooth 5.2 is soposed ly a lot better than 5 too

Not that that matters for a device plugged in

[kindred halo]

I mean, I probably won't be able to utilise said 6GHz... The router I have (which uses a WAN cable btw) DOES have 5G, but the highest I've clocked it at on ookla is 100 mbps download lmao

This was on ethernet btw

[grizzled frost]

it's less about the raw speed, but more so about the uncongested spectrum

basically no one uses 6ghz, so it's really open

[tepid kelp]

Yeah few years ago my neighbour got a bunch of iot smart devices and my old WiFi basically wouldn't work anymore

[grizzled frost]

It can result in speed improvements, which is nice, but also oftentimes lower latency as you aren't having to wait on other user packets

[grizzled frost]

hate hate hate wireless IOT devices

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

Glad that my x1 slot is PCIe 4.0 now lol, definitely too much bandwidth for it but at the very least they're both "fast"

[grizzled frost]

even gen3 is plenty for a wifi card

gen3 is enough for 8gbps

(on a single lane at that)

[kindred halo]

And, additionally, since the actual antennas are wired and can be placed further.. I can most probably stick the antenna near the unused outlet outside my room?

Assuming it's long enough for that ofc

Would need 2-2.5m of length

[tepid kelp]

I went stupidly nerdy / desperate, low budget used an old laptop plugged into wan one floor bellow my office And used a program to make a WiFi connection directly to mine

[kindred halo]

Wait, PCIe 3.0 does 8Gbps on x1?

[grizzled frost]

Yeah, the antenna wire doesn't really care if it's all bundled up next to the PC unused, or if it's stretched out

[grizzled frost]

Mhm 1GB/s or 8gbps

[kindred halo]

Goddamn, that's quick lmao

[grizzled frost]

Yeah people really underestimate PCIe

[tepid kelp]

I assume getting the antenna away from your pc is good ?

[kindred halo]

I was afraid it was holding back my PCIe 4.0 5700 XT but it's literally providing 4.0x8 lmao??

[grizzled frost]

once it's about 6 inches from the metal of the PC it stops mattering

[kindred halo]

Closer to the router

[grizzled frost]

being close to metal is mostly a concern for larger wavelengths

the smaller the wavelength the less it matters

[tepid kelp]

Before thunderbolt there was a community of peaple plugged GPUs into laptop pcie slots and hacked together cables

[grizzled frost]

working with low frequency radio transmitters is weird, cause what do you mean the wave is .6m long for a single oscillation

(500mhz)

[tepid kelp]

The main problem with the higher spectrum wi-fi's is their range

[grizzled frost]

I work in a theater, and we actually have to avoid a certain frequency because it happens to be the same as a local radio station and we can pick it up

[tepid kelp]

Do lower frequency s have less fidelity?

[grizzled frost]

which is wild, because we're in a concrete and cinderblock building and run fairly low gain for wireless mics

[grizzled frost]

It's able to carry less information as a digital signal, yeah

[tepid kelp]

But not less than a higher frequency analog signal?

[grizzled frost]

it's essentially like a refresh rate, each time you see a wave peak/trough, you have the potential to carry data

[grizzled frost]

analog frequency conversions get funky because you can have multiple frequencies at the same time

like conveying info at 500mhz, 501mhz, 502mhz, etc

not really possible with digital since you get a lot more crosstalk and data corruption

[tepid kelp]

The problem with digital radio stations is they kept halving the bandwidth for a specific stations and double the quantity. This reducing the quality

[grizzled frost]

Mhm, it's also a problem for analog radio stations, since they can't really capitalize on the multi-frequency broadcasting

[kindred halo]

That's silly lmao, love it

Just randomly tuning in to a local station

[grizzled frost]

their music taste is really poor, i must say

[kindred halo]

As is with most modern stations unfortunately

[grizzled frost]

though part of it might be it's too poor of a connection to be intelligible

but strong enough of a connection to affect mic connection and be audible

[tepid kelp]

At school, the theatre tech would listen in on the actress' on a smoke break

[grizzled frost]

phones also affect 500mhz mic connections

[grizzled frost]

we always tell actors we can't hear them once they leave the stage for their own privacy, but we absolutely can, actors just get weird if they know you can hear them

there's certain things you lie to actors about so they behave

otherwise actors would turn their own mics off

[grizzled frost]

to be fair, you shouldn't be wearing a mic on a smoke break, great way to fuck up the diaphragm

and have the eternal hatred of the sound team for making their mics smell like marlboro menthols

[tepid kelp]

Especially if their rented

[grizzled frost]

working with rented mics is fucking terrifying, because it's rather easy to break them if you aren't careful

especially given you don't know how work hardened they are

going to bend what you think is a soft, supple piece of copper, only for it to be the most work hardened thing you've ever had the displeasure of feeling is a recipe for snaping it

[tepid kelp]

Like a paper clip that can only be bent a handful of times

[grizzled frost]

last production i worked on, there was an actor's mic that had exposed wiring, but it was such a nightmare to shape it to her face that i said fuckit and just taped over it

[kindred halo]

Just sifted through like 15 pages of the site's manual section to find the PCIe adapter I sent

Apparently, it's magnetic!

.. But no details on cable length

[grizzled frost]

she had a really small face with kind of an odd shape, so it was really hard to find a comfortable shape that was also audible and didn't pick up breath noises

[dapper light]

Just realized the galaxy trifold when folded is still thinner than my fold 5 folded.
Absolute beast of engineering

[grizzled frost]

no offense to her for having an odd shaped face, most people do

[dapper light]

It's literally the same height as the USB C port unfolded

[grizzled frost]

she also had an identical twin on the production, whom had a different face shape somehow

how the hell that is the case, i will never know

[tepid kelp]

Being a stage manager, is a funny thought to me

[hidden nymph]

id never buy a samsung device, especially after recently removing bootloader unlocking from all of their devices worldwide, shoving bloatware on all of the devices unsolicited, and generally being a shit company regarding the rest of their products

[grizzled frost]

my stage manager was the nicest, and meanest person i have ever met simultaneously

and she'd flip in the matter of a single second

[hidden nymph]

if you're gonna buy a Samsung, might as well just get an iPhone atp lmao, theyre nearly locked down the same

[grizzled frost]

one second you're having a pleasant conversation, the next you're getting yelled at for the light looking weird (i'm the lighting designer primarily)

"I CAN'T SEE THE ACTOR'S FACE" well he decided to walk 3ft farther than every other night, what do you want me to do?

[tepid kelp]

Hey at least they don't throw plates across the room like a. Olympic athlete

[grizzled frost]

you're right, instead i got unconsentually waxed with gaff tape

[dapper light]

This is like saying
Instead of stabbing yourself, you should nuke yourself.

Samsung has its quirks but an iPhone is 100x worse for me

[grizzled frost]

the stage management team is all female, so the comments they would make about actor bodies were fucking insane

[hidden nymph]

not entirely true lol, iOS does have sideloading etc wether u believe it or not

[grizzled frost]

The amount i had to hear about chest contour is incredible

[dapper light]

With much much more barrier to entry

[hidden nymph]

like what exactly do you believe you need to have to sideload on iOS

[dapper light]

Plus, i use a foldable

[tepid kelp]

The one thing I REALLY wish standered android had from android was the volume mixer

[grizzled frost]

male and female, they're equal opportunity weirdos

[dapper light]

Samsung is still infinitely more customizable especially with good lock

Best you can do is iOS is give your icons the piss filter

[grizzled frost]

or deal with the stupid shortcuts method that add a solid 3 seconds each time you want to open an app

[tepid kelp]

Is that a polite way of saying

[hidden nymph]

you can indeed edit app icons without doing that

[grizzled frost]

usually male chest contour is for accentuating their peck muscles

[hidden nymph]

we also have live wallpaper support etc with nugget

[tepid kelp]

The ticktock background app is cool

[dapper light]

Plus i use a windows laptop, android in general is just better

For it*

[tepid kelp]

I never understood the hype for airdrop. When you can just use 3rd party apps like Dropbox multiplatform

[dapper light]

If my only device is my phone, i can probably switch to iphone without noticing. But my laptop? Going to MacOS is like, you get the shit side of both windows and linux

[dapper light]

Don't dropbox need internet?

[pale geyser]

Guys i booted into windows 10 safe mode and my monitors not getting any output?

[grizzled frost]

airdrop between apple devices is beautiful

the ease of airdropping stuff from my phone to my mac is great

[dapper light]

Quick share is just as good nowadays

[tepid kelp]

How often do you not

[dapper light]

2 clicks to share stuff from phone to pc

[ebon marlin]

Yummers

[dapper light]

Me, and people i know have metered cellular when away

Plus, if the building you are in have shit reception you are SOL

[tepid kelp]

Americans still pay absurd amount of money for their mobile contracts

[dapper light]

LAN based transfer is just better

When the person is literally next to you

And airdrop/quickshare don't need finicky link

[tepid kelp]

Steak 🥩?

[ebon marlin]

Yes

[tepid kelp]

Sharing between yourself and another of your own devices

[dapper light]

That's more of a case for LAN lol

[tepid kelp]

Save to a folder and it's already duplicating on your other device

[dapper light]

Why would you use the much slower internet to share to yourself

[dapper light]

Makes sense only for things you plan to keep long term

Since I don't like paying for cloud my storage is limited

Uploading to your cloud service
Opening your other device, downloading, then deleting, is much more steps than 2 clicks with airdrop/quickshare

[gleaming rose]

this could be peak

[grizzled frost]

does it include the psychological damage from the show?

[tepid kelp]

Gives you a 123 backup without even thinking about it much

[gleaming rose]

most vr games do

with how dogshit they are

I have low expectations for this but I'll play it anyways

[grizzled frost]

as long as it doesn't have motion blur i'm happy

[gleaming rose]

gotta see mommy misato in vr

[grizzled frost]

i hate vr motion blur, because a lot of the times it's forced

[tepid kelp]

Forced?

[grizzled frost]

as in you can't turn it off

[tepid kelp]

Like .. it's fake?

[gleaming rose]

yes...?

[grizzled frost]

it's supposed to help with nausea, but it just makes it so much worse

your eyes already have all the motion blur they need built in

speaking of VR, i got my first SS rated Expert+ map on Beat Saber

[tepid kelp]

Lol Beast slayer . It's like beat saber but you slay monsters

[grizzled frost]

so blade and sorcery?

[gleaming rose]

welcome to the exercise high club

[grizzled frost]

my wrists hurt

[gleaming rose]

welcome to the wrist pain club

have you tried reality check thru the skull?

[grizzled frost]

watching someone who doesn't use VR play beat saber is so funny

[gleaming rose]

watching someone play beat saber is funny in general

[grizzled frost]

it just doesn't compute in their brain how it works

[gleaming rose]

they're just flailing their arms around

at thin air

[grizzled frost]

i choose not to think what i look like in beat saber

[gleaming rose]

better not to yea

[grizzled frost]

especially with higher level maps, you're just constantly flailing about

then you randomly pause one hand in place and keep flailing with the other

I got a B on here

[grizzled frost]

it looks perfectly fine for 90% of the song, it just randomly has a million notes at once

[gleaming rose]

yep

[grizzled frost]

playing old songs is so painful, because they don’t follow proper flow

they’ll have a right hand down block back to back 3x and it just doesn’t flow right

the next block after a swing should be the opposite direction

[royal loom]

Bought a CPU and I'm wondering if this stock coolers pre installed thermal paste is ok since I wanna know if also using my own thermal paste is good

Can anyone pls tell me? Hello? 😢

[frigid blade]

You waited a minute

[royal loom]

3 now I suppose

[frigid blade]

That thermal paste is wide

On the stock cooler

[royal loom]

So can I use it or should I use my own?

[frigid blade]

Should be fine the way it is

[royal loom]

K thanks

[frigid blade]

What brand is the cooler?

[hallow jasper]

the thermal paste is the least of your worries in this situation

[hallow jasper]

the stock one, as indicated

[frigid blade]

Ok, let me rephrase, what CPU is it… lol

[grizzled frost]

elixia, whatever that one is in NPS

[dapper light]

Custom difficulty, so no idea

Or is that the name of the song

[unique olive]

What’s the cpu the thermal paste is perfectly good use it

[noble mortar]

Guys

5080 FE or 5080 Zotac solid core

same price

[hallow jasper]

the cheaper one

[noble mortar]

same price

[hallow jasper]

FE, of course

holds value better, built better

and its only a 5080 so that tiny cooler is actually fine

[noble mortar]

Ok

Ill buy the FE then

i always wanted one lol

[distant frigate]

https://www.reddit.com/r/hvacadvice/s/9qAC5kf8QR

lol. The person doesn’t know that that is the flue pipe

[thorny saddle]

lol

pipe that right into your bedroom i guess

[distant frigate]

Lmaoo

[hallow jasper]

who would know

HVAC enthusiasts?

[thorny saddle]

Its shocking though

hot pipe... top of thign that makes heat with yellow hose of gas...

[distant frigate]

High efficiency furnaces exist lol. They are a little more complicated but they utilize more of the heat from the gas and so the flue pipe gets less hot and you can actually use PVC piping.

[thorny saddle]

hmmmm

[coarse radish]

woudl anyone recomend HyperX Cloud III S Wireless?

[distant frigate]

They have a condenser heat exchanger

[native path]

I kinda did no research on this, I just ordered an AT2040

[coarse radish]

i know 3 had some audio issues i think? but is s better?

[distant frigate]

A byproduct of gas burned is CO and water vapor and HE furnaces take advantage of the water vapor

[grizzled frost]

i don't see a reason for furnaces when high efficiency heat pumps already exist and are readily accessible

furnaces are capped to an efficiency of 1, which heat pumps are not

[rigid fjord]

noice, and speaking of nokia's, i found my old 3310 that i gave to my mum like a 2 decades ago

just have to see if it still charges back up

and if not, to see if i can find a battery for it

damn phone would survive a nuclear fallout

[grizzled frost]

i find it funny how they switched from calling it methane to "natural gas" so people think it's less fossil fuel-ey

orange piping is color coded for gas right?

[distant frigate]

Yes

[grizzled frost]

they're installing a bunch of it where i'm at

[gleaming rose]

little do they know

[grizzled frost]

i got a letter from discord letting me know that they leaked my personal information, but don't worry cause they gave me 1 year of free identity protection, like that helps me with you leaking a picture of my ID

[gleaming rose]

hasn't happened in the US yet

[grizzled frost]

I'm in the US

[gleaming rose]

hasn't happened to me in the US

probably state by state basis

[grizzled frost]

did you have a ticket with their customer support line prior to whatever that date was?

warshipped lol

[dapper light]

i can't even say methane

[grizzled frost]

yeah you can

Methane, cow farts, Natural Gas, LNG, all fair game

[native path]

hey, we JUST leaked all of your personal information and it's out there forever now, but don't worry we don't think it'll happen again!

[grizzled frost]

exactly

[dapper light]

anyway i was trying to say
the chemical sound of -ane and the first half of methane is not exactly marketing friendly

[native path]

Thanks discord

I appreciate the help and support

[grizzled frost]

Almost like when you rely on a system that isn't encrypted to store sensitive customer information, you might get hacked

[gleaming rose]

try to do more than the bare minimum challenge:

[grizzled frost]

not like i really had a choice in the matter anyways, i got falsely banned for "being under 13"

Total pain switching accounts, especially given i pay for nitro

[hard cedar]

My case didn't come with HDD or SSD mounts soo this is what I had to do till I get the mounts what can I do to improve this

[grizzled frost]

they also got really fucking picky with the image, i had to redo it for them to accept it

even though i could very clearly read everything on my ID in the first image

discord support is so obtuse

[gleaming rose]

lmao

[native path]

"this" Being your cables?

[gleaming rose]

god even the companies are oppressing people now

[hard cedar]

Yeah

[gleaming rose]

I don't use Google services other than search much now

[hard cedar]

It's the best I coud do without breaking them

[native path]

Doesn't help that the cables are different colors, thats really the only place they come out from?

[hard cedar]

Yeah that's the only place I can get them to pop out

[frigid blade]

wow thats a lot of cables coming out of a single hole

[hard cedar]

The case never came with the mounts I needed

[native path]

dang that sucks. I would attempt to route them along the bottom of your case horizontally

[hard cedar]

Alright

[native path]

If you get what I mean

Kind of like how you would try to hide a cable against your wall by going along the edges

[hard cedar]

Yeah

Tho some of the red aren't sata

[native path]

Theres more than 1 red?

[native path]

ahah

[hard cedar]

That's all my sata ports

[frigid blade]

4 is normal

[native path]

Those can't come out of here?

[indigo lintel]

So hear me out

[native path]

Just curious, whats your case model?

[hard cedar]

Not without breaking the ssd

[frigid blade]

huh?

[native path]

Wut

[frigid blade]

you can unplug the cables to run them, then plug them back in if thats what you mean

[hard cedar]

No idea, i found it outside

[hard cedar]

Too short cables

[frigid blade]

welp

[hard cedar]

I can try but it's risky

[native path]

I mean there's no harm in trying, unplug your SSD and try to route the cables. If it doesn't work then it doesn't work, no harm done

[hard cedar]

Alr

Without The extension for the cd drive

[hallow jasper]

Yes?

[native path]

Can't quite tell what i'm looking at here, the shorter cable could be extended for the CD drive. Is the red one long enough?

[hard cedar]

Not quite

It's short by not much

[native path]

Is the extension needed for the CD drive?

[hallow jasper]

flashes should be disabled on cell phone cameras

[hard cedar]

Yes the sata power dosent reach

[native path]

Automatically disabled upon opening the app, regardless of previous settings

[native path]

Here's a thought (don't take it to heart), do you need the CD drive?

If you do then I totally understand, wont go down that rabbithole

[hard cedar]

Yeah I make cd's for my hacked consoles

[native path]

Gotcha

Dang that's cool

[hard cedar]

Mhm

[native path]

Where would your SSDs be mounted?

[hard cedar]

Normally in the back if I had the mounts

But rn in the hole with the HDD's

[native path]

The holes just under your motherboard?

[native path]

Oh there

[hard cedar]

Yep

[native path]

Does that hole have an opening at the rear of your case?

[hard cedar]

Where the PSU is?

Its a hole for the fan that is behind the HDD's

So it gets air down to the psu

[native path]

Lol I think I lost the plot here

[hard cedar]

Lol

[wicked rock]

anyone have a quick way to sort and remove tabs you no longer need?

[native path]

I'd just leave it how it is until your real mounts come

[hard cedar]

Kk

[native path]

Close the whole browser

[wicked rock]

but i need some of then

[hallow jasper]

find the tab you want, move it to the left. Right click > close all tabs to the right.

[native path]

My take on it is that if you need it you'll open it up again, and if you truly need it you'll find a way to find it again in your history

[hallow jasper]

i do this all the time, so satisfying

[wicked rock]

there are 300+ tabs

[hallow jasper]

well you're just insane, for one

I think there are some bad habits, or at least inefficient habits at play here.

[wheat torrent]

Idk why people are surprised in my country almost all public toilets are like this

[hallow jasper]

In regards to browser workflow

[wheat torrent]

Is this not common?

[native path]

I would go through them and just keep clicking Ctrl+W, if I see anything of importance I would Ctrl+Shift+T and reevaluate that tab

[wicked rock]

its all manga

[native path]

#public-chat

[hallow jasper]

Possibly because in their country it isn't?

[wheat torrent]

[wicked rock]

finaly understand how poeple can fall into their toilet

[wheat torrent]

Lmao

[wicked rock]

what does those do?

[native path]

Ctrl+W closes the tab
Ctrl+Shift+T reopens the recently closed tab

[wheat torrent]

What's interesting is when you have a squat toilet and the door doesn't reach the floor fully

[native path]

I meant ctrl+shift+t sorry

[hard cedar]

I guess it looks better now

[ebon marlin]

I just ordered Apple's microfiber cloth for 25€ lmao

I hope it's as good as everyone says it is

[steel umbra]

it is not

[sinful terrace]

5060TI 16gb paired with a ryzen 9 5950x?

[steel umbra]

it's just a microfiber cloth that doesn't scratch surfaces

[sinful terrace]

i have 128gb of ddr4 ecc which i wanna keep rn

[ebon marlin]

But it's Apple though

[gleaming rose]

maybe I should start giving proton my money again

I don't even need their cloud storage I just want email and vpn

[plain cypress]

This is better. That way you can verify bro is using proper squatting technique

[thin plover]

I just started using Proton

[gleaming rose]

it's just like why pay that much because the 500gb is essentially useless

I guess I could use it for backups

I'll look into it

because it's at the point where doing something like that is seriously to my benefit considering what's happening in the US

[craggy cove]

50$ is quite generous

[frozen glade]

600-700 USD

[frozen glade]

Yeah it's often hundreds. Depends on total price.

And worse quality components. And all individual components have warranty as well lol

[craggy cove]

i sold a similar system for 610€ in august so yeah this is probably 650€

mine had a 5600 but also a crappier mobo + a blower 3070

list it for 700€ accept 650€

[craggy cove]

mystery great wall psu mentioned

[tepid kelp]

All fairness 50£$€ for a 5 year warranty

[craggy cove]

add like 7 asterisks

Atleast it's not hynix

[night delta]

F

[night delta]

hynix never sold ram to consumers ever iirc? they dont have a consumer brand for ram

they never sold to consumers themselves directly b2c

[steel umbra]

Oh they're only abandoning crucial? they will still sells ics to other ram stick manufacturers?

[night delta]

Yeah, as micron

you jsut cant buy crucial ram at retail anymore

and crucial ssds..

and basically anything consumer facing

[steel umbra]

I understood it as there will be little to no micron chips at retail that you can buy like through g.skill and kingston

or crucial which they own

[steel umbra]

What about g.skill ram with micron chips

like 24gb micron D sticks

[night delta]

theyre fine

you jsut cannot buy from micron themselves as crucial

but crucial also makes ssds and external ssds too

[steel umbra]

So will micron still supply g.skill with ics?

[grizzled frost]

there's no indication otherwise

[night delta]

any other brand using micron chips is fine

[left trellis]

9950x3d ID-COOLING FROZN A620 PRO SE is cool right

Lol the irony of Samsung not selling ram to samsung due to the ai chip demand.

[south arrow]

Sorta, US doesn't keep its own oil just how they like to do things

If someone's willing to pay more

[steel umbra]

i assume phones will also increase in price bc they have ram

like i already see some phones almost costing the same as their equivalent desktop counterparts

mid range phones with 12gb of lpggdr4x or lpggdr5x especially one year old ones that tend to be in discount

[carmine yew]

"I used it, but it's still new! And I'm only asking for MSRP for it!"

if he's listing it for 195? He won't bite at all lol

marketplace people are looney

[daring scaffold]

I flip PC’s, and even I think that’s a insane lowball lol

Just disrespectful at that point

[carmine yew]

it's a used AIO

[daring scaffold]

That’s $200 new

And used 3 times lol

If you’re allergic to used things don’t go on marketplace

[carmine yew]

IDK what "used 3 times" even means

[daring scaffold]

I would prob buy it for like $75ish

If I was doing an all Corsair build

But $30 is heinous

[carmine yew]

I want it for the parts lol

IDC about it as an AIO

[daring scaffold]

Prob not going to get it then lol

Yes I kind of figured that too that itd be pretty damn low and maybe disrespectful. But if you read the text, I dont know, it seems like a red flag from a scammer

I love dbrand

[flint lantern]

Is it smart to buy the CPU and GPU I want (R7 7700x and RX 9060XT 16GB) right now? I won't have money for the full setup until like a couple of months but the prices seem to be rising

[night delta]

not enough chips to allocate for their own brands prob

crucial isnt a failing brand

[frigid blade]

please keep ram prices skyrocketing

i might actually just sell my kits if they do

[south arrow]

"Focusing on Ai and enterprise" is curious

[frigid blade]

i can afford to purchase an entirely new high end build if the price doubles and i sell

[night delta]

other brands using micron chips are fine though, theres g.skill or kingston or whoever else

[flint lantern]

well you won't have money to buy ram

[south arrow]

I always run g skill anyhow. I know the sticks will always just work

[frigid blade]

im not worried about that I have extra, just these 2 kits i have are really expensive rn

[night delta]

just one less consumer choice at retail

[flint lantern]

btw opinions

[south arrow]

Prices are so bad I have no build guidance at this time unless you have a plan for ram

[flint lantern]

i don't know what ill do about ram

im just asking about cpu and gpu

well CPU and GPU prices are going to increase as well no?

well exactly lmao

[dusk patio]

as long as you don't wait too long to buy the other parts, you don't want to put it all together only to find out the parts you bought months ago are not working and past the return window

[flint lantern]

yeah that's what i was worrying about

but they're going to be under warranty?

[ivory mountain]

fuck spectrum sell the whole company my internet goes out daily bruhhh

[flint lantern]

im not sure how the warranty process would be on a cpu or gpu

[frigid blade]

RMA?

[flint lantern]

well im in turkey

not sure how that works here, maybe amd doesn't provide their own warranty?

Is your internet actually going out or is your router resetting every X hours?

[weary rampart]

Depends on the company tbh

New screens guys

I got the 360 noscope setup now

[ivory mountain]

its actually going out lol, random times of the day for like 1-2 hours

[weary rampart]

Ok haha. Ive had issues before with mine but its just my router resetting hence I ask.

Ay caramba

Weren't they supposed to be also making bunch of SOCAMM memory modules

[frigid blade]

Finally got it down to around 600 loc instead of 1k

[night delta]

they just no longer sell to customers are crucial anymore

they'll still sell stuffs to oems or businesses as micron

so g.skill ram using micron dram chips will still be continuing for example

[frigid blade]

now I just need to rewrite it as an API ( i just mean rewriting it in the psm1 format as modules instead of a regular ps1 script ) and I can start the GeForce Now clone he he he

[night delta]

also there was only two laptops that uses that..

P1 G7 and G8

Obviously new tech won't have lots of products which use it

[covert sparrow]

ok tech hive mind. been running into a issue since upgrading to windows 11, any time i run games in 2560 x 1440 at 120 hz i get lots of lag or games just freeze. before upgrading to windows 11 (i did a fresh install to see if was the issue) all drivers are up to date and bios as well. if i drop the screen to 1080 at 60 hz it runs fine. any ideas? games are enshrouded, WoW ascension and dragon ball gekshin squadra.

[hollow ledge]

sory dat is duch

the price of the computer is 100 euro

[clear canyon]

Its not very good

[hollow ledge]

and if i can get 8 gigs of ram

[clear canyon]

16 gigs minimum now days

8 is really pushing it

The sweet spot is 32gigs

[steel umbra]

12 gb hehe

[dusty dew]

Dont, better use i5 at least

Had a colleague use a i3 8th with a 2060 super, and it was bad

that a single porta cabin 3d render will take 5 days to render

[bold laurel]

I SMELL DUTCHIE

i still got 64gb ddr4 ram that i need to sell

[dusty dew]

but if its 2d should be fine

[hollow ledge]

je hebt 100% gelijk

[hollow ledge]

fusion 360

[dusty dew]

and 100 Euro? thats decent if full set

then upgrade cpu

[hollow ledge]

it is for the computer no monitr of keybord

[stray portal]

I would love to get a steam machine but my pc is better than it by a landslide

[bold laurel]

knew it

[hollow ledge]

i cant bicos of the socet

[stray portal]

Would steam machine be good to get for living room

[clear canyon]

None of that pc is worth keeping

[dusty dew]

you can, just find 1151 cpu

[iron moth]

you could put steam OS on your PC and just put it there aswell

[dusty dew]

find a cheap 9900k

[iron moth]

or just use the big screen mode tbh

[dusty dew]

9900k= almost the pinnacle of 14nm+++++++

[craggy cove]

11900k_

can windows stop changing my fucking keyboard

[dusty dew]

10900k was faster though

[stray portal]

I could but it isnt officialy supported

[hollow ledge]

dat is 300 euro

[stray portal]

But tbh my pc boots up fast i can use big picture mode and set steam to launch as high priority (still have to log through windows but eh idc)

[craggy cove]

i think that was the 11700k which was slower than the comet lake equivalent

[dusty dew]

but socket non 1151

[iron moth]

Yes just use big picture mode and a controller, THen its like a console just better

[stray portal]

I have tuff controller

I might buy the steam one once it comes out

[iron moth]

well how much are you looking to spend?

[dusty dew]

anyway my phone is still on the way

the delivery guy running abit late since his van broke

meh, might end up setting up in the office

[stray portal]

Dookie blud

What is your situation and why are u limited to old smelly intel

[craggy cove]

4 gigs is just gg atp

the 9100f is serviceable

[clear canyon]

Its not, its really bad ngl

[hollow ledge]

Intel Core i7-6700, 4C/8T CPU with a gtx970 and 8 gigs of ram

[clear canyon]

Slow

[craggy cove]

9100f prob faster

[clear canyon]

And the 9100f sucks lmao

[craggy cove]

but cheaper

[stray portal]

So trash

also 67 😱😱😱

https://tenor.com/view/cat-67-scp-67-funyuns-funny-gif-75413186200073602

[iron moth]

How much were you looking to spend moneywise?

[hollow ledge]

250 / 300 euro

[dusty dew]

you can get better, but depends on country

[hollow ledge]

the neterleds. but can get voor 70 i3-6000 8 gigs of ram an 1tb hdd an 125gb ssd

[stray portal]

Hes from the minecraft nether

[iron moth]

I have an old used pc around that quality , i5 8500, 1070 / 1050ti, 16gb ddr4

but nowadays im thinking i might just keep it because the drr4 seems to be an investment 😂

[stray portal]

Buy something with a ryzen apu it will run better than most stuff like this

[iron moth]

or maybe, depending on what you have right now, look on ebay for older parts instead of a whole new PC

[swift moss]

why do iphones get such beautiful open source apps and android is stuck in the 3rd century

[stray portal]

Holy crap ram so expensive

[iron moth]

Yeah I saw that earlier too, 1400€ for 32gigs of DDR5 , its insane

[stray portal]

This is like 350 euro

Lucky country ig

[swift moss]

holy shit I got mine for 200

actually it was this one I got for 200

[stray portal]

Tbh i hope intel becomes tuff again and maybe releases some high end cards

[iron moth]

What are we supposed to say 😂

"only" 1023,69€

[stray portal]

My next pc will be in a few years i might want to get intel and maybe nvidia but depends i like tons of vram so i might still go with amd

[gleaming rose]

man openai is out here getting smoked

[stray portal]

This is why i picked 7800xt over 4070/ti

[iron moth]

the RAM i bought like 2 weeks ago is now at 600€!

[frigid blade]

its not really that much

[iron moth]

H u h ?

😳

[stray portal]

dude fym my whole pc was 1300 euro

[frigid blade]

the price of the ram is not really that much

[stray portal]

i got so lucky i bought my pc in december 2024 right before the pc market went to shit

[iron moth]

either thats ragebait or you are very rich

[frigid blade]

no you just misunderstood what i said

[iron moth]

or its even worse in your country

[iron moth]

what do you mean?

[frigid blade]

They arent really selling at that price

You can get the same kit on newegg for $400

[iron moth]

Yes that i know, that it differentiates a lot between sites. But if i want a site based in my country , thats the price

[green fern]

Better buy your micron/crucial/Kingston memory now.

[frigid blade]

why would you go based on your country and not the cheapest, lol

[green fern]

Theyre going all in on AI

[iron moth]

the RAM I sent in just now, the Kingston Fury Beast for 600€ I bought 2 weeks ago for 64€

because we werent hit until last week with this ramageddon

before the prices were normal. Then 3 days after my order, 150€. 1 day later 190€, then 370€

And because I get better warranty in my country and usually faster shipping with less chance of breakage

how should I fix this?

and what's this called

[frigid blade]

cant really tell what is going on

[fair token]

look at the top

[frigid blade]

you mean the lines across the screen?

screen tearing?

[fair token]

it's like.. tearing? idk

[brave brook]

the 6000CL30 Corsair kit i bought for 225 euros isn't even listed anymore

[odd shuttle]

where is best buy getting this comp value from? 2Tb ssds haven't sold for $350 in years

[fair token]

my drivers died the other day (I think)

and can't stream a fullscreen game properly

goes 1fps

[frigid blade]

means ur gpu sending frames faster than the monitor actually displays them and its causing tearing

well, theyre overlayed

[fair token]

do I lower hz?

[iron moth]

theyre getting more expensive because of hte RAM thing too

[iron moth]

Yeah its insane isnt it

[fair token]

screen froze, when I turned on the pc again it was like 1fps and gpu wasn't detected, then I reseated it and it started working

is it the gpu dying or drivers

[frigid blade]

because theyre getting expensive, 1TB went from around $60 to $110

[odd shuttle]

how likely are they to start cheaping out on the higher end/midrange ssds and getting rid of the dram caches?

[iron moth]

Its possible. I think MSI has done that on the m470pro already

[brave brook]

in any case, it's not like i can spend money on RAM anyway. Fridge buying time

[iron moth]

Just dig a deep hole in your yard and cool it that way, you need ram more

[odd shuttle]

Damn I'm I upgraded most of my stuff already, this is looking rough

[stuck spruce]

blame the ai companies

[fair token]

@frigid bladedo you know maybe ?

[stuck spruce]

we DONT need ai

[iron moth]

what else were you looking for?

[topaz shale]

bruh

[night delta]

no pc wishlist for christmas ig, unless its a motherboard or cpu

[frigid blade]

no clue , try #1027757333117415424

[night delta]

or gpu but you need to act quick

[topaz shale]

its actually about to be a rampocolypse

[odd shuttle]

Nothing right now, I upgraded my PSU and Ram last year. This year was my monitor, storage and fans

Luckily right before the price increases

[stuck spruce]

did it happen once?

[iron moth]

Same. I guess in this case we can be happy for anyhting we ton need until this is over

[night delta]

are we ready for shortage-made tech kids

i remember the GTX 1630 and 6500 XT when they were new

[odd shuttle]

I'm starting to regret not upgrading to 128GB since it was fairly cheap last year. 64GB kits were about 150 I think

[iron moth]

Same 😂 i wouldve sold the rest and kept 32 for myself, wouldve payed for the rest of my pC

[odd shuttle]

+$110 for DDR4 is something I wasn't expected LOL

[iron moth]

So, asking for a friend 😂 what would an i5 8500 with a 1070 Rog strix and 16gb of DDR4 go for? the ddr4 is probably worth the most of that bunch

[carmine yew]

is it good ddr4 or shitty jedec

[iron moth]

i believe 1333 mhz

[carmine yew]

but... 200 tops? for that box?

[carmine yew]

shitty jedec

[iron moth]

Aw , shame. Well it served me well enough until 2025

Im suprised Battlefield 6 runs without spontaneously combusting my house

[carmine yew]

a 1070 is worth well under 100 bucks, the base 8500 is 100ish

[iron moth]

maybe i should offer to the guy earlier who wanted a newer PC for 300€ then 😂

But different topic though, what would yall recommend more. Windows 10 or Windows 11? Im setting up my new PC sometime this week and I wanna go with windows for online games and eventually linux down the line for the rest

[steel umbra]

1070 imo $50

[queen trout]

What rgb fans do you guys think would fit well in a fractal north black

[steel umbra]

$60 tops tops

[steel umbra]

performance fans without rgb

[queen trout]

I want minimal rgb

[plush wren]

minimal or none

[carmine yew]

I could see 70, but not much more

[carmine yew]

Arctic P12 Pro PWM PST

or P14 Pro PWM PST if you can use 140's

[odd shuttle]

How much is a 3060 TI founders worth now adays?

[queen trout]

200

[steel umbra]

150

[odd shuttle]

wow, I'm glad I sold my old one for $300 when I did. Are they still usable for 1440p or 4K?

[iron moth]

100€ I know what I got 😂

[steel umbra]

a year ago i could’ve gotten 3060 tis for 160-170

[carmine yew]

well, a brand new 250$ 12GB B580 will kick it in the nuts.
So, a fair bit less than that

[queen trout]

Not really

[odd shuttle]

alright

[tulip sparrow]

sighs heavily https://videocardz.com/newz/micron-kills-off-crucial-cosnumer-brand-to-focus-on-ai-and-enterprise

[magic silo]

noooooo

[tulip sparrow]

I( am running Corsair LPX ram in my Ryzen 7 5800x3D build in a 4x8GB 3200mhz CL16

and I don't plan on replacing the system for quite a while still aka likely mid way through AM6 at this point int ime. I just need a GPU upgrade from my 3070 Ti with its paltry 8Gb of vram

[magic silo]

i am in need of a new graphics card too

[tulip sparrow]

I have plenty of ram which is good
