Next thought, i'm going to plug my CPU fan into the header but not actually put the fan on because I think if your computer can't handle the raw power and heat from your CPU then it isn't a computer

[paper terrace]

ahem

1. is the redragon k556 keyboard good?
2. is the redragon predator m612 mouse good?

[native path]

Oh yeah, i'm going to build a motherboard that has 2 slots of DDR4 and 2 slots of DDR5

[azure topaz]

would probably work on LGA 1700

but youd fuck the DDR5's trace routing sobad that you might have better rresults on just ddr4 LOL

[clear canyon]

keyboard is meh and idk about the mouse

[azure topaz]

attack shark x3 should be like 30$ on amazon and is a logitech superlight clone, im sure its better than whatever that is

"predator" in the name of something=immediately treated with insane sarcasm

[paper terrace]

better than my laptop keyboard and trackpad (it has like 10 keys missing)

[native path]

On a laptop?

[paper terrace]

where else would a laptop keyboard go?

[clear canyon]

imagine if they sold kid sized mice, then they can call it the "Child predator m612"

[azure topaz]

SOB

GET ME OUT OF HERe

[clear canyon]

[native path]

Where did the keys go??

[azure topaz]

this is however the exact issue

[golden sage]

Guess im keeping this drive for my games!

[azure topaz]

yeah bro my "acer predator" is so good

apex sounds cool predator doesnt 😭

ASUS Z890 PREDATOR

[paper terrace]

broke off
the clips that held them either melted enough to snap or just snapped

i caan still use some of them by pressing the metal on the inside
like the a key

but the w key i have to copy paste
i cant use f1 at all
i use numpad for 2

etc

[clear canyon]

damn its not a gen 5 8tb drive, its garbage, just give it to me

[azure topaz]

ok that acoutally sounds kinda cool but thats just cause its in all caps but

[golden sage]

XD

[azure topaz]

over Z890 APEX? cmon

[golden sage]

wanna hear a joke?

[azure topaz]

racism

[golden sage]

Im changing out my 512GB S40G for a 1TB 990 PRO

My friend thinks i should be changing my D drive's 1TB S40G aswell to a 990 Pro 🤡

[native path]

Anyways, i've heard redragon cheap keyboards have been pretty decent nowadays. This looks like a $100 keyboard though i'd look for something else.

I'd never suggest anyone to get a redragon mouse, if you're looking for a cheap mouse I can recommend the ATK VXE R1, not too expensive and I haven't gone wrong with it. Kinda has a Model O shape, swapped to it after my superlight broke and I haven't looked back

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-pepe-frog-talking-discussing-meme-gif-26871471

[native path]

Well yeah storage is essentially free once you check your cart out, as is all other products

[paper terrace]

my mom alr bought them
idk
they seem cool
and they have all the keys

and they had a discount so my mom asked me if its not a scam i said it doesnt seem to be and she bought both of them for about $60

[native path]

Now that we're at the 990 pro, is the next SSD going to be the 1000 Pro?

[golden sage]

i have to be dumb to not understand this sentence oh my gosh

[clear canyon]

990+ pro

and every gen after that adds another +

[native path]

Well if it's already purchased then I dunno what any advice would do honestly, I'd rock with them till they break

[paper terrace]

man

[native path]

990+++++++ PRO EVO ULTRA MAX++ 256GB SSD

[clear canyon]

great marketing!

[paper terrace]

sounds coo-
256gb?

peak storage

[clear canyon]

now we gotta add ai

[golden sage]

still tryna figure out what u mean by "storage is essentially free once u check out" 😭

[golden sage]

"AI READY!" sticker at the box

[paper terrace]

ight gimme a second

[native path]

Has native support for Gen15 AI storage tracking where it sends all of your files to microsoft and it checks whether or not it should be deleted

[native path]

Well technically since it's already been purchased it's now $0

[paper terrace]

hmm
old download from 2015? keep
solitaire? keep
malware? keep
system32? virus

[clear canyon]

Logic has left the chat

[native path]

i apologise

It was meant to be a joke 🙁

[clear canyon]

so was what I said

[paper terrace]

that implies logic was once here
i doubt that

[clear canyon]

lol

[golden sage]

You mean my existing D drive? yeah i guess u could say that, but idk why would bro tell me to replace the d drive with a 990 pro aswell, i feel its overkill, i mainly changing out the OS 512gb to 1tb because of capacity + i want to put my video editing projects on that drive instead

Tho i wouldnt mind changing that d drive to a 2tb gen 3 or a cheap gen 4. just not a crazy priced samsung or wd 🤷‍♂️

[clear canyon]

i joke 99% of the time when im not helping

[native path]

I gotta buy my drives for my NAS soon lol, i've been learning home lab stuff on it at the moment and it's been really cool, I just want to start working on storage soon though

[golden sage]

Apple has entered the chat ||logic board||

[azure topaz]

i love the naming "logic board" i wont lie

[golden sage]

very logical

[azure topaz]

yep we put the components that produce the logic on this board

yep its a logic board

🤯

[golden sage]

🤯🤯!!

[clear canyon]

na, this is 2025, its an AI board

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[golden sage]

speaking of AI, have yall seen the dumpster fire of a pricing on ram kits 💀

do u think they'll happen to NVMe drives too?

[azure topaz]

eventually

[paper terrace]

Sodium, this is 2025, it's an AI board.

[clear canyon]

we was talkin about that earlier

[clear canyon]

what

[azure topaz]

what

[paper terrace]

thats what you said?

[native path]

I also wanna save some hardware and merge some of my projects together onto the same VM. There's no reason for me to be running wireguard, and adguard + portainer on 2 different VMs

[clear canyon]

no I didnt

[azure topaz]

but at the same time realistically why not

[paper terrace]

yes?

[clear canyon]

no?

[paper terrace]

yes?

[clear canyon]

show me where I said it

[paper terrace]

.

[clear canyon]

I never said "sodium"

[topaz shale]

i just bought 168tb... it will be here tomorrow

[paper terrace]

yes you did

[azure topaz]

na

[paper terrace]

see
it's right there

[azure topaz]

NA=sodium

nacl

[native path]

It would just look a little cleaner honestly having all that stuff on one VM instead of spread out. I assigned 4 cores to my wireguard VM for some reason LOL

[golden sage]

crazy how AI blew up so fast

i still remember the chatgpt memes in 2022, and gemini was named "bard"

[paper terrace]

salt :3

[azure topaz]

yes but at the same time its weird how real vms work

kinda doesnt matter how many resources you assign to X vm as long as they never conflict with eachother

if you run out of ram ofc you run out of ram

if you run out of cpu cycles youre outtta cpu cycles

[topaz shale]

imagine having finite resources for your applications
docker could not relate

[azure topaz]

but it kinda doesnt matter past that on proxmox

[iron glen]

H2o, SO4 and SO3(that one not too well) are the only ones i know

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/grass-touch-grass-pearto-kasane-teto-touch-gif-7859773791933913832

[azure topaz]

like all of my VMS in proxmox have my cpus full 16 logical cores assigned to them

but since my CPU isnt maxxed out because of any VM, this isnt a problem

[native path]

That's what I figured out as well, I kept adding on more VMs and I realised "oh shit I don't have unlimited cores how do I have 11 VMs running with 4 cores allocated to each of them"

[topaz shale]

wait

i didnt realize you can do that

sick

[azure topaz]

literrally all of my acctive VMS have 16c allocated to them

[iron glen]

I think i really should learn how to set up a vm i feel like i could profit alot from one

[azure topaz]

i clearly dont have 64 cores on an i7 10700

[azure topaz]

cause this is all that matters

[native path]

Before I got my server I was running VMware for school, pretty easy to setup and it's free

[clear canyon]

then just overclock your core count

[iron glen]

I had vbox and a windows10 iso
Couldn't figure out how to set it up properly

[azure topaz]

vbox L

[iron glen]

I got it running but idk if i got it running well

[azure topaz]

if you have a server id do proxmox

[iron glen]

Whats your innovative alternative?

[native path]

My VMs are all deleted now cause this is all that's left needed for school

[azure topaz]

whereever you can find a vmware pro archive, that

[native path]

Even the standard VMware Workstation works good enough, reset my laptop and installed that and I haven't had issues. I don't do anything intensive on these VMs so your milage may vary

[azure topaz]

yeah idk i havent done vms on windows in a minute tbh

learning the hyper v one built into windows for windows might be worrth your time

[iron glen]

Can try

Whys that better than vbox tho

[azure topaz]

and its ok to follow guides and such

[azure topaz]

just what i always used

although when i was messing around with vms on windows it wasnt even free like it technically is now

[native path]

Workstation is free now

[azure topaz]

yeah

my bad not pro

[clear canyon]

am pro

[azure topaz]

am racist

[clear canyon]

we love racing

[iron glen]

Woah
Not awesomesauce

[azure topaz]

my computer has an intel vpro sticker if that counts

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/predator-arnold-schwarzenegger-hand-shake-arms-gif-3468629

[azure topaz]

racing exper B)

[clear canyon]

he obviously means he loves racing, duh

[iron glen]

Ohh

[clear canyon]

its floopa

[azure topaz]

[native path]

If you need help setting up VMware drop me a message it doesn't take that long at all and adding new VMs is pretty straight forward now

[clear canyon]

na, if you struggle on VMware, im gonna be in ur walls haunting you

[native path]

I've seen some people struggle

[azure topaz]

vbox i get im just saying

the ui is archaic

[native path]

I don't know how much more straight forward it can get

[thorny saddle]

vmware workstation 👎

[native path]

If you don't have a server I can highly recommend it

[thorny saddle]

I just don't like type 2 hypervisors

[clear canyon]

yeah they suck for performance lol

[thorny saddle]

performance, management, storage, etc.

networking...

[clear canyon]

that too

I dont really see a real world usecase for a type2

unless you just wanna play around

[native path]

I should've prefaced that I meant for beginners

[thorny saddle]

I think it confuses beginners

[clear canyon]

its a good introduction to the idea of a vm

[thorny saddle]

eh i think a y outube video is just as good lol

its just a very unserious way of doing it

[clear canyon]

I do agree, but you would be surprised on how dumb ppl are with tech

[thorny saddle]

I wouldn't be

[clear canyon]

dude

when I had my networking class 2 years ago, the amount of ppl who didnt even know what a cpu was blew my mind. We was all IT majors btw

no one knew basic shit

[thorny saddle]

I have been doing this for 20 years now, nothing surprises me

[clear canyon]

it made me sad

ig self learning is a rare thing now days

so many ppl dont learn on their own after classes end

being book smart is fine, but you need real world skills

it only gets you so far

[native path]

I'm 3 years into my Cybersecurity diploma and I was asked by a classmate how to set a static IP on windows

[clear canyon]

yeah, so many ppl are stupid

[native path]

I genuinely do not know how people can get by without knowing basic skills in your diploma/degree

[clear canyon]

im a senior currently, Ill get my bachelors after next semester

My major is "IT networking and security"

I knew more about this stuff coming in than most ppl do currently as seniors

its sad

[native path]

I'm doing "Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics", except we have only get 1 class of digital forensics lool

[clear canyon]

lol

I took a digital forensics class, it was fun

[limpid ivy]

Rip that's kinda how it is for me too. For someone who just transferred in as a junior I know more on certain aspects in film then current students in my program.

[fickle ivy]

1440p monitor but running it at 800x600 so I can actually get 60 FPS 🥀

[native path]

Coming in it's 100% alright to have no knowledge at all, but in your 3rd year?

[winged sky]

[limpid ivy]

IE wrapping cables properly

[clear canyon]

I had 1 C in my 2nd year and it hit me hard :(

[clear canyon]

past 2 years iv been iv been 4.0

[winged sky]

W h y

[clear canyon]

I was 3.8 in my 1st and 2nd year before the C

[native path]

Theres no shot 1 C dropped you down to a 3.76 as a 4.0

[fickle ivy]

It forced my windows into widescreen wtf

[native path]

Ah there we go

[clear canyon]

it went further down at the time it was applied, its went up since iv added 4.0's to it

[limpid ivy]

I'm just trying to pass my classes at this point lol

[clear canyon]

but if I get it to 3.8 again, Ill be past top 10% of my entire uni

3.9 is top 1%

[native path]

Been there

[fickle ivy]

Why cant I play 4:3????

[clear canyon]

lmao

[native path]

Takes a huge toll on you

[jaunty apex]

me bearing 30fps to keep my pixels

[clear canyon]

why run such a crappy pc?

for 1440

[limpid ivy]

crappy professor the last photo project is my saving grace, but I got two final quizzes to pass

[fickle ivy]

Let's go!

[limpid ivy]

what sucks it's a required cource if I wanna do the production electives

[fickle ivy]

I found the monitor in the recycling

[jaunty apex]

Gg

[native path]

You have 1500 hours in the game how did you play it before?

[clear canyon]

but you went to 4:3

[jaunty apex]

Wonder if LSFG is safe with that game

Also discovered a scenario it does not handle well. Trypophobia

They had some pretty nice products, and they do this

Many loved the p3 series

🤮

[azure topaz]

the 3 otherr manus: am i a joke to you

[fickle ivy]

im only getting 55 fps too 😭

atleast im playing against people with insane skill issues like god damn

getting slapped around by a 16 yo playing on the worst pc known to man

[somber blaze]

Anyone know good small atx cases? I heard about the O11 AIR MINI. Is there any others or smaller ones or should i start looking at mini boards

[azure topaz]

micro atx is a good form factor

if you dont explicitly need atx i kinda see no point in choosing atx only

[somber blaze]

I would like to stick to atx so I don’t have to buy a new motherboard, but I’m not completely ruling out just switching to micro atx

[azure topaz]

imo if you want smaller thats kinda your only way to go

if you want a smaller ATX case you can only go so small and generally you just end up with gross GPU compatibility and so on

[next zenith]

@empty quartz you can apologise now ok cheers

[azure topaz]

who ARE you

[somber blaze]

I got a 3080ti FE

I just need small enough to not be un transportable

My current case is way too big

Whats some good micro atx cases

And am4 motherboards

[azure topaz]

i had a jonsbo d31, asus ap201, lian li a3

[hexed tapir]

horrible kdr

[somber blaze]

I forgot I also have to shove my AIO in there

So maybe micro atx isn’t the way to go

[azure topaz]

i fit a whole 360 in a micro atx

[somber blaze]

Hmm

[fickle ivy]

its actually 1.25 somehow

[azure topaz]

wrong image lol

[next zenith]

yeah just slap that fan right in the middle there >ok

[azure topaz]

its for the ram dingus

why are you mad about my own computer

[fickle ivy]

I accidentally hit shut down instead of sleep

[next zenith]

mild oopsie

[somber blaze]

This is my card size

[azure topaz]

no confrontation individual

[native path]

For my next trick, I'm gonna be mad at you for plugging in your PCIE connectors into your GPU. Why is it plugged in?

[azure topaz]

deadass

[fickle ivy]

I don't think you understand

[next zenith]

yeah, why is it not being run directly off an ac power cable?

[fickle ivy]

It takes 15 minutes to turn on and log into windows

[next zenith]

suboptimal

[fickle ivy]

Another 15 minutes for me to open everything I need again

[azure topaz]

yeah next youll ask why the gpu has fans at all

[ivory mountain]

fellow heatsink-less ram lover

[azure topaz]

out of neccessity lol those sticks came pretty

[ivory mountain]

gskill?

[fickle ivy]

Taken with a Google pixel 6a

[azure topaz]

klevv

looked like this originally

[ivory mountain]

ohh

[azure topaz]

nice lookin dimms but they were very warm

hence the lack of heatsink after

cause yes that is better for ram temps

[next zenith]

it is what it is

[azure topaz]

ended up being very cool after i delidded them

[ivory mountain]

oh im very aware

[azure topaz]

no higher than like 34c

which obviously is fine for most ram oc

[ivory mountain]

just ln2 ur ram

[azure topaz]

but stock they were hitting like 60

even w/fan

so heatsinks got deleted

[next zenith]

yeah that'd work great too if he went fanless on the gpu also

[azure topaz]

true

[ivory mountain]

add ram to the water loop

[azure topaz]

a lot more people do this than you would think

[ivory mountain]

i would think a lot of people do it

[azure topaz]

i wouldnt say common with ddr5 but way more common than any other gen

10w/dimm go brrr

[somber blaze]

How about the Cooler Master MasterBox Q500L

[azure topaz]

gross

unthink that thought but fr

[somber blaze]

It’s tiny tho

[azure topaz]

its a Q300L but bigger and somehow cheaper idk man

[next zenith]

lian li my beloved

[fallen gale]

Need help with finding ddr4 ram Good timing and speed up to 128gb

[azure topaz]

up to 128gb or you need 128gb

[fallen gale]

Up to

[somber blaze]

It fits full size atx mobos

[azure topaz]

so what do you need then

[somber blaze]

But it’s really small

[gaunt spade]

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-plink-glasses-side-eye-smart-gif-11422187893182432522

[fallen gale]

I have x399 creation motherboard

[azure topaz]

if you like it im not gonna try to sway you, i just dont like the QXXX series

[azure topaz]

youre not helping me. how much ram do you need.

[peak swan]

Also for some reason if i screw my gpu in, my igpu gets disabled
If i unscrew the gpu, but have it plugged in, it works fine
I guess my motherboard is getting shorted again for fucks sake

[somber blaze]

I just need small

I don’t need it to look particularly nice or anything

[azure topaz]

if you think thats small enough and you dont have to rebuy anything i think its fine

[peak swan]

XXXGB of RAM

[fallen gale]

16gb really

[azure topaz]

finally

[somber blaze]

I might have to get a new psu?

[azure topaz]

i wont find you a 16gb kit but now i know it doesnt matter

[somber blaze]

But otherwise it should work

[azure topaz]

theres multiple positions for the PSU, unless you have literally rhe biggest units it should fit

[somber blaze]

Then it might be ok

[azure topaz]

that unit in the image is fat as fuck

[somber blaze]

Cable management in there probably sucks but I’ll figure it out

[fallen gale]

Thanks lads 🇮🇪

[azure topaz]

im lookin im lookin

im judging by the flag youre in ireland

[fallen gale]

Yes

[gaunt spade]

cute pc

[peak swan]

Old pc holy
That's like a founders 900 series card

[azure topaz]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/406446047040?

you should be looking for 4 sticks since thats how many memory channels x399 has

[gaunt spade]

ddr5 prices are so cooked

[next zenith]

the 3.5GB special

[azure topaz]

thats a pretty good price and its 32gb, mroe than you need

[gaunt spade]

aw hell na

[civic geyser]

erm guys

[gaunt spade]

100$ punds for 32gb

[civic geyser]

i just cracked the screen on my tri fold what do i do

[gaunt spade]

pounds

[azure topaz]

yeah go on ebay and find cheaper

[gaunt spade]

solution dont buy on ebay

[azure topaz]

you been on the tech side of the internet in your life?

[peak swan]

I have 512mb ram on my dedicated gpu
That disables my igpu if i screw it in
I think my mobo is shorting lol

[gaunt spade]

yea thats more valid

fb marketplace

[peak swan]

Ssds are also going mayhem
And here i am with hdds if unknown origin just hoping to finally be able to buy actually decent storage
Oh yeah, sd cards are also fucked

[gaunt spade]

im so lucky i have 11tb of ssds

i bought way before for dirt cheap

[somber blaze]

Which one tho

[gaunt spade]

ram prices are 4x rn

but no one will bother buyng ddr5 for a new build imo

ram costs more then gpus

[peak swan]

Now that i think about it, i should run some ai on my celeron n3350 pc with 16gb ram and prove big ai shitholes that you don't need much to run ai

[next zenith]

have the lancool 2 mesh

[peak swan]

I have some case from the 90s i modified to no longer be baby at, and instead atx-ish

[gaunt spade]

i sold my 64gb ddr5 right before rammagedon i couldve sold for 3x the price

[azure topaz]

it’s a case i’m terrible at taking photos so

[somber blaze]

I’m looking for a small case that ones huge

[sinful cobalt]

the prime vertical looks sick

[azure topaz]

yeah it looks a lot better vertical than it does horizontal tbh

[somber blaze]

I like this one

Hmm

[azure topaz]

an older photo with the side panel off

and before ram fan bracket

[native path]

Is that fan sitting on the GPU? Never setup a fan for my RAM before so I dunno just curious

[azure topaz]

yep just sitting

[native path]

Gotcha

[azure topaz]

not sarcasm you are right 💀

works better in horizontal gpu rigs but i mean still worked

[somber blaze]

I guess I’d probably have to vertical mount my gpu in any of these cases

[native path]

I suppose there isn't really another way unless you want to 3d print some mount for it

[azure topaz]

i just bought one

[azure topaz]

comes with y40, you can get it cfor 100$ refurb off their site

(the whole case)

[somber blaze]

Oh cool

[azure topaz]

see worked better this way

prime looks gross horizontal though

[somber blaze]

I might get that one then, I see stuff about the cooler master having bad airflow ironically

[azure topaz]

well the y40 is huge so if you want portable dont 💀

i said big towerr for a reason lol

[somber blaze]

Its similar to that cooler master

[azure topaz]

rlly?

[somber blaze]

I think so

Unless I mlooking at the wrong one

[azure topaz]

idk man this thing is biggerr than my 4000D

which is another relatively large atx case

[peak swan]

Why the fan

[azure topaz]

ram

[somber blaze]

It’s a couple inches bigger than the cooler master

But it’s a LOT smaller than my current case

[sinful cobalt]

oh the misery of having the worst 9800x3d sample ive seen

[azure topaz]

works then ig lol

[azure topaz]

my 7900x3d is worse its fine

[sinful cobalt]

genuinely I can rival mac bins

[azure topaz]

whoeverr got my cpu is genuinely unhappy

[sinful cobalt]

I think

[sinful cobalt]

How bad is it

[azure topaz]

my cpu was worrse LOL

[somber blaze]

Inwin 301?

[azure topaz]

6000 2000 FCLK needed 1.27 volts

it might be the worst one lol

[sinful cobalt]

vsoc?

[azure topaz]

uhuh

[sinful cobalt]

💀

gear 2 cant even stable 7000 like smh

[hoary tree]

Man, fuck micron

[azure topaz]

might be skill issue might not be cause my 7900x3d was just fine in g2

my benchmark results were all in g2 at 8000

[sinful cobalt]

i genuinely think gear 2 stable at this point is like 6600 LOL

[azure topaz]

on a shit 6 layer b650

[hoary tree]

They are completely exiting the consumer market

[azure topaz]

hynix a die yummy

[sinful cobalt]

im on a fuckass x870 assrock steel legend

I could possibly try 6400 on the 7600X ITX but honestly its not worth tuning that build at all

was trying to wipe a drive to reinstall windows... and i selected my fucking game drive

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz

[azure topaz]

that is quite the L

[empty quartz]

you can now officially call me a dumbass

[sinful cobalt]

Oh damn, I thought it was just generally both gears

[azure topaz]

i mean yeah but if yourre gonna buy a 2 dimm "oc" board and do g1 im disappointed in you

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz

On the bright side i have some recovery software

[bold laurel]

if i want to show off my server/computer would i do it in #1019713714968088586 ?

or what is the best place

[empty quartz]

Yes

[sinful cobalt]

Ill see what Ill do…. Im really thinking of selling this 9800 to a friend and getting the 9950x3d, see how the IMC is

If its mid, then whatever, Ill tune what I can

if its somehow a good bin, Ill go as far as getting an apex

maybe im gonna chill on the apex, probably just an ITX board

because no mpower here

How the fuck is this little piece of shit heating up my 240W charger

Its requirement is 100W less than what my charger can supply

[gaunt spade]

https://rog.asus.com/laptops/rog-strix/rog-strix-scar-17-2023-series/spec/
Does this laptop only support 100watt charging via usb c

[empty quartz]

Why the fuck would you want to charge it off usb c

Usb c maxes out at 240W

Which is still 90W less than what that laptop needs

[gaunt spade]

for portability lets say cuz i would only have to carry one brick for phone and laptop

at home i wouldnt use usb c ofcourse

[halcyon beacon]

It comes with a 330w charger =p

[gaunt spade]

but does this laptop support that 240 or whateve rit might need

[gaunt spade]

yea the 4080 goes upto 175

[empty quartz]

Probably not

[empty quartz]

Being dense as always

[halcyon beacon]

So? It's gonna be fine =p

[gaunt spade]

but the laptop wont support 240 via usb c

[empty quartz]

Ignore aki

[halcyon beacon]

What are you on about?

[mint umbra]

Ppl told me this Hynix company is going to fix the supply issue with memory but I read an article that said the opposite and will reduce chance of over supply

So won't scale production much higher

[empty quartz]

you could just use the laptop to charge your phone...

or

get an actually good laptop

[gaunt spade]

is this not a good one?

[empty quartz]

its a gaming "laptop"

do you have a desktop

[gaunt spade]

yea?

yea rn but im switching to laptop

[halcyon beacon]

The charger isn't particularly big =p
You're almost definitely supposed to use that 100w USB C port to reverse charge your phone anyway

[empty quartz]

then get a low power laptop, and stream the desktop to the laptop

@gaunt spade

[gaunt spade]

no

[empty quartz]

why not?

[gaunt spade]

bad internet

[empty quartz]

...

[halcyon beacon]

Do you even intend to take the thing outside or anything like that, since you mentioned portability?

[gaunt spade]

yes

why else would i get a laptop

[halcyon beacon]

Plenty of people get a laptop as a desktop replacement, that's presumably why Ace suggested a low-powered system to begin with

[empty quartz]

you're looking at getting a gaming laptop, those get worse battery life than a booster pack for a car

[gaunt spade]

im not gonna be gaming in the park or anything

i just move houses alot

[empty quartz]

@gaunt spade get an rog ally or something then

[gaunt spade]

no

i have one already its shit

[halcyon beacon]

Yes, tell them to get a much, much worse system because you don't understand their wants

[gaunt spade]

i need kb and mouse

[gaunt spade]

exactly bro

[empty quartz]

by "its shit" what do you mean?

[gaunt spade]

the performance

and alot more but thats cuz i have gen 1

but even the newer gens performance aint enough

[empty quartz]

im guessing you have the z1 and not the z1 extreme

[gaunt spade]

z1 extreme bud

[empty quartz]

then you need to lower your standards for a handheld

[gaunt spade]

ah yes

very helpful

[halcyon beacon]

Regardless, you'll be fine just getting said laptop and carrying around the barrel charger brick, they're genuinely not that big xD

And when it comes to charging your phone, you then use the 100w USB C port on the side of it =p

Ace likes to glaze anything that fits his narrative, hence why he's being all asshole-y towards me ='D

[empty quartz]

aki

fuck off

[halcyon beacon]

Shut up, you don't get to do nicknames c:

[empty quartz]

I'm not doing nicknames

[halcyon beacon]

No thanks

[gaunt spade]

my other options are pretty bad with 4080s

13900hx lenovo

[halcyon beacon]

Yeah, intel SKUs no likey battery life, although they tend to be a bit better performance-wise

Unless you're looking at meteor lake, generally speaking you want to go with AMD

[empty quartz]

i could never use a gaming laptop personally, too hot, loud, and shit battery life. but that's my personal opinion

[gaunt spade]

i think 7945hx is better

[gaunt spade]

i dont have any other option

[empty quartz]

cool, good for you

[halcyon beacon]

It probably will be for your needs, yuh

[empty quartz]

im just gonna stick with my rog ally z1e, and mbp 14"

because they fit my needs

[random gyro]

the attorney has entered the chat 👀

[gaunt spade]

ho ho ho

4080 my best option i think

same price as 5070 laptops

[empty quartz]

i do wanna upgrade the memory in my rog ally...

16gb is not enough

[halcyon beacon]

I'd just look around a bit more to confirm yourself and if you feel good about the purchase, go ahead ='D

[empty quartz]

i will say, as good as the igpu in the rog ally is, its main drawbacks for me are memory, and battery

16gb being split between the igpu and rest of the system sucks

all i need are some higher capacity lpddr5 chips, and a hot air station

[gaunt spade]

yea it seems like the best option for price to performance

everything lower end is too expensive for what it is

[jovial mason]

Hi guys

[empty quartz]

thats just most laptop's in general

[halcyon beacon]

Sounds good then x')

[gaunt spade]

its like 1250$

[empty quartz]

then get it

[gaunt spade]

used ofcourse

[empty quartz]

make sure you get a battery replacement then

[halcyon beacon]

That's pretty good ngl xD

[empty quartz]

speaking of that, i gotta wear down the battery in my mbp 14"

[empty quartz]

i want a new battery. but i have to wait untill its at 79% health to get a new one

[gaunt spade]

battery is on 85%

[gaunt spade]

there are cheaper 4080 laptops too

[empty quartz]

dont cheap out too much. you probably dont want something that runs at hot as the sun

[gaunt spade]

1120$ for 13900hx 4080

[halcyon beacon]

I probably wouldn't go after those just because they have a 4080 in it =p

[empty quartz]

what laptop?

[gaunt spade]

thunderobot

zero 13

the rog scar only hajs 1 ssd slot too thats terrible

[empty quartz]

I'd avoid that, lackluster cooling

Anyone Know a good place to research KVM switches. Got a Laptop + Desktop setup that I want periferals & monitors to switch between either device. (keeping description brief)

Found this: https://www.avaccess.com/products/idock-c10/

But i want to research my options. Would love any guidance if or just a simple point in the right direction. many thanks! (Been through a couple reddit forums too)

Hope ya'll have a great day.

[cold skiff]

AI is here for the long haul, there’s no getting round that. The thing is SO many companies are investing heavily to the point it isn’t sustainable, as market leaders will leave them behind and that’s when that bubble pops.

[mint umbra]

I mean even if the smaller guys bail out the big players will still be heavyily invested in it

[cold skiff]

I mean the housing market is the best example of bubbles popping. When everyone’s buying houses companies pop up every where to sell them to you, then no one is buying and companies fold quickly as do housing prices

It’s slightly different for AI there isn’t anything physical from it

Companies are buying up to create models to sell to the major players to survive. They won’t have anything to produce possibly for years. If a major player doesn’t buy their model, their product, they will fold and influx the market with ALOT of hardware they need to get rid of

If they don’t have investment continually to produce an end product, then same occurs. They’re left bankrupt with assets fuck ton of assets to sell.

We never lost crucial. That “difficult” decision to improve profits ten fold and only supply to AI customers and fix the consumer market further for the other 2 customers was planned in the monopoly.

When the bubble bursts. Micron will be in the worst position of all the companies.

should i open up and repaste the 6800xt

it goes upto 80c with 30% fan but at like 50-60% its fine

its very dusty too

[winged sky]

Its almost like... the slower the fans spin the less air they move which causes things to be warmer

[gaunt spade]

Go ahead and slather it in thermal paste

Never hot again

[cosmic idol]

Today was a bit warm lol
Got to like 97f

[distant frigate]

lol I love how the weather app says I need to be worried about pipes freezing

Well if you have the heater on that shouldn’t happen unless you have a basement or garage

[night granite]

This is weeeeeird

It says 5400 rpm on the outside sticker, the model number implies its 5400rpm

But its clearly not

[distant frigate]

15F is definitely not the coldest it can get here. It can get to -9F

I mean it works just as well, this is why you buy white labal ig....

I could either
a) Buy the CPU and GPU I want right now, but I don't have money for rest of the components
b) Don't buy anything and get a prebuilt later
But CPU and GPU prices are also going to go up, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do

Aight thats fair

I just need a thinner table cause I bought a g29 wheel and the clamp wouldn't clamp since my table was too thick

Ill just place this table top on top of my table and leave abit hanging infront so I can clamp on that

I hope they can fix this shit, but that's not on me to figure out

[frigid blade]

i was up till 12AM writing that GeForce Now clone

[brazen glen]

This has been on the horizon for years at Intel, they haven’t been able to scale up their 18A process very well. Kind of why the vast majority of their chips sold had remained 10nm well past 14th gen

[frigid blade]

All thats really left is blocking out all access other than steam, need to make some changes to autounattend.xml to install steam and auto-start and not show any other part of the screen

[rain gull]

my cooler makes noises as if the water inside is quickly condensating (as if its sizzling) or something when it does something demanding quickly which spikes temps, how do i fix that

temps are at around 43-45 idle and 47-49 when having browser and discord open and 60 when gaming at the max

[brazen glen]

How old is this thing

[hallow jasper]

sounds fine to me. AIO so there should be no need to ramp fans up with temp

[rain gull]

like... a month?

[hallow jasper]

if there is noise, is there an air bubble? move the rad around

[brazen glen]

Wiggle the rad a lil bit

[rain gull]

it doesnt do anything unexpected when i move the case a little

i rotate it around a little but earlier and i cant really replicate the sizzling

sounds like its dying but the temps are really not that bad

game studios need to say fuck HDDs and stop optimizing for HDDs

[midnight wind]

that implies that they are currently optimizing for hdds..?

[south arrow]

Not sure what part of the dev process this is xD

Save function=save function idk how to slow or speed that up exactly or load for that matter

Grabs each thing in the array and sets it from the save state or however the save is stored. But i am curious

[wheat torrent]

helldivers 2 devs got the file size from 154GB to 23GB

[brazen glen]

Modern games are more often built to rely on rapid asset swapping and that’s no bueno for hard drives

[south arrow]

But how do you implement that*? In practice ya know

[midnight wind]

like they're compressing it so it loads faster off an HDD?

[wheat torrent]

no

they are removing HDD optimizations so it loads slower on hdd

[brazen glen]

Smart Access Memory features are usually built into the GPU which allows it to bypass system ram and communicate directly with the ssd via the PCIe bus

[south arrow]

Im just saying game dev side id have no clue how to implement/fix that

[brazen glen]

It’s why the ps5 has very strict requirements for data transfer speeds

[midnight wind]

is that a thing on windows as well

[brazen glen]

Yes

[south arrow]

Gpu settings is driver side, or maybe windows for access and compatability

[midnight wind]

how is that even implemented

[brazen glen]

Presumably with api calls built into windows

[midnight wind]

I'll look into it

when i look it up, it only says AMD Smart Access Memory lets the gpu directly access RAM

or maybe the other way round

[rose stream]

Which is for bandwidth that pushes the limits of PCIe 4.0, which I still find kinda funny sometimes.

[midnight wind]

i don't see anything about it allowing the gpu to access ssd

[south arrow]

[rose stream]

Weeelll maybe because the ReBAR feature itself involves the cpu gaining access to the memory pools of devices connected to it, maybe per chance that could make it possible to access the ssd's cache then?

I mean, I don't know if there's a real benefit to doing that outside of what's already possible, but... Well, that is a thing that could be done I guess.

[little quail]

Arent you thinking of Direct Storage at that point?

[hallow jasper]

Maybe. Also RTX IO. GPU powered storage has become real stagnant lately. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/rtx-io-for-geforce-gpus-available-now/

I hate when my files get over 500 LoC

So annoying to navigate

Spend half an hour simplifying in a way that doesn’t break it

I wish I wrote efficient code from the start 😭

[clear canyon]

did you have a question?

[wheat torrent]

negative

i can hear this song

[frigid blade]

why is there no public vc

[clear canyon]

its impossible to mod a public vc

so you gotta pay to win

ppl who pay for floatplane tend to not cause issues that mods need to be involved in

[frigid blade]

just dont mod it

if someone has issues, report it with proof and get it over with

[clear canyon]

thats not an option lmao

not a very good idea

it can be abused and spammed

I mod a large discord server and we do the same thing

[frigid blade]

mute the person thats the issue

[clear canyon]

but we dont paywall our vc, we keep it only for events

[clear canyon]

whos gonna do that, there isnt very many mods

[mortal jackal]

We had public VCs

They were a disaster

[frigid blade]

you dont have to be mod to mute someone, 2 clicks btw

right click left click

[ocean axle]

heh, 500 LoC, thats tiny

i regularly work in files that are over 15k LoC

some are over 25k iirc

[frigid blade]

yah just not my thing, i do small personal projects

once it gets too long I know im going in over my head

[clear canyon]

thats adding complexity to an issue already solved

[frigid blade]

the issue is not solved, you just removed a feature lol

[clear canyon]

its not removed

[frigid blade]

for the vast majority it is

[clear canyon]

you just gotta pay for floatplane

[clear canyon]

its more of an issue to have public vc's at this size of a server

not enough mods to control it

a vc is very hard to mod vs a chat

[proven shoal]

ordered crucial 32gb ddr5 4800mhz cl40 ram for £105. lets see if it comes 😭

[frigid blade]

Like here's my powershell module ive been working on since yesterday

[stray portal]

Crap vc

[frigid blade]

its at 1k lines, im already kinda tired of it

gonna spend some time simplifying it

the regional comments help tho, easier to find where i want to be

[ivory mountain]

i cant stop singing this bloody tune tune tune

its gonna make my brain go boom boom boom

[frigid blade]

actually, I might try Claude Opus 4.5 to shorten this

[jovial mason]

Sup Guys

[jovial mason]

its hella expensive

;-;

[frigid blade]

i have a few free prompts weekly

i think its like 20

[jovial mason]

Hhm nice

[frigid blade]

the thing with powershell is that ai kinda sucks with it

especially when it comes to windows APIs

theres not very much documentations when it comes to the GPU paravirtualization windows API functions

[jovial mason]

u dont need ai in practically everything

[frigid blade]

you dont, its a good tool tho

[jovial mason]

powershell is best in vanilla

[frigid blade]

like, it was able to find some obscure documentation for me after 10 minutes of perplexity doing its "Labs" which just searches for like 10 mintues and like 200 sources

but that was after multiple tries

even with the sources, it will hallucinate parameters for functions lol

[jovial mason]

lol

[ocean axle]

yea, not that long

[low pendant]

Does anyone know the best settings for the ROG xg27acs?

[ocean axle]

i can link to a number of files in my projects that are in that ballpark of length

[jovial mason]

whats this?

[frigid blade]

API for #tech-chat-1 message

lets me deploy VMs with my GPU partitioned between them, + RDP within browser

[jovial mason]

i really need some 3rd party software tat makes my powershell background transparent or translucent just like translucenttb

[jovial mason]

daam

thats actually good

[frigid blade]

yah, tried to remake my own GeForce now

just need to figure out how make it so the stream only displays steam (and its games), and blank the rest of the screen

[craggy cove]

rtings recommends this

[low pendant]

Just lvl 9 overdrive?

[craggy cove]

unless you can calibrate it then pretty much

freesync/gsync too i guess?

[low pendant]

It has tons of things

[low pendant]

Yeah it has also async

[wicked dew]

is the most recent nvidia driver extremely broken?

my friend and my pc is shitting itself because of it

[frail trout]

Is there any way to convert my wired Glorious Model O to wireless?

[hallow jasper]

swap in the guts of a wireless version

the simplest way to acquire the PCB is just buy a model o wireless

[hallow jasper]

if you're not seeing widespread issues reported here, probably not and its just a you problem https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1pe3ids/game_ready_studio_driver_59144_faqdiscussion/

[fickle ivy]

I just had a great idea for a product

[small cedar]

anyone have any suggestions on a white mechanical 70% keyboard. Don't really want to spend more than £100

[buoyant bridge]

oh my god we're going back to what windows 10 was like now

[ivory mountain]

time to pause updates

[buoyant bridge]

this is enterprise and they are paused

This is what windows 10 did up to like 2020 if you had updates paused

[ivory mountain]

😭

[buoyant bridge]

well I just have unobtrusive on

So it literally shouldn't be giving me ANY notifications to update

But they added This shit back from 10

[buoyant bridge]

I don't wanna pause updates anyways one of the most welcomed things I had with 11 was that it updated fairly out of the way out of the box😭 😭 😭

[daring crystal]

🤖 One of the big three RAM manufacturers, Micron, has announced they are exiting the consumer market completely to focus on meeting the demand of AI companies and their data centers.

@CIG_telegram

[buoyant bridge]

they fixed the update and shutdown button for example and didn't force you to update while using the computer or even nag you to do so like older versions of 10 did

[ivory mountain]

bros late

[daring crystal]

Really?

[daring crystal]

I thought they cut production not exit

[ivory mountain]

yeah they dipped

what drugs are you on? cause i want some

[buoyant bridge]

4-aco-dmt probably

that's an actual thing I said trying to have a tech conversation on it before so

[sleek ibex]

I would love to know that cocktail of drugs too

[ivory mountain]

how did u fall for bait this easily

[sleek ibex]

[grizzled frost]

I didn’t…

[buoyant bridge]

If you wanna say even more delusional shit the most delusional thing you can do is legal in Canada for some reason😭 😭 😭

[random gyro]

It draws less power and I value energy efficiency

[grizzled frost]

so nothing to do with your original message, got it

[sleek ibex]

Back in the old country, ||it's punishable by death||

I mean no, if my performance metric is power usage

that’s not what performance means in classical conversation though
