[flint quest]

Also wtf is using up all my RAM

[ivory mountain]

old fart

[hollow mulch]

tho the biggest advantage of linux is that you can watch systemd struggle to launch your fucked up system

[empty quartz]

Iphone 4

[flint quest]

Might just switch to Linux
but lowkey idk if i wanna deal with all the programs being able to run (ik some just DONT)
also Nvidia drivers

[balmy tapir]

i can recommend linux, im actively doing things right now and ram is chilling

[ivory mountain]

iphone 4 dropped when i was 2 years old

[flint quest]

Damn

i was born in the same year as the Intamin Blitz and the first Iphone 💀

[dusk patio]

If you're younger than the Nintendo DS, you're too young

[wooden patio]

ima mount it with tape on the right side

[flint quest]

isnt the DS 21 now?

[wooden patio]

cuz i had to custom fit a atx mobo into a matx case

[dusk patio]

exactly lmao

[flint quest]

Jesus the ds is older than me 💀

[wooden patio]

lol

[flint quest]

I did love my 3ds ❤️

[wooden patio]

made it work tho

[balmy tapir]

nvidia drivers are kinda find at this point, especially if you are fine using the proprietary ones. the biggest issue is if you need an GPU accelerated tasks, the nvidia drivers aren't great

[flint quest]

With this amazing Türkis

[hollow mulch]

nvidia drivers arent even that hard to install

[flint quest]

So, i do need GPU accelerated stuff

[dusk patio]

I still have my 3DS, but it's a shame I got rid of my DS Lite when it broke back in the day

[rose stream]

And if you're as old as me, theeen you're also slightly older than this relic.

[flint quest]

Damn

The oldest console i ever used was..

Uhh tbh idfk

[dusk patio]

I'm actually only older than the DS by like a year 💀

[flint quest]

We have a commodore braned Portable TV in the basement

We also had a floppy drive and a commodore, but we sold those

[rose stream]

The oldest (legitimate) console I ever played was actually the SNES.

[flint quest]

The oldest console i ever played on has to be at the Binarium here in germany,

[balmy tapir]

i guess i worded that poorly, its not just gpu tasks, its some of the nvidia specific features dont always work 100%, i can't give any examples right now because I use an amd card, just have heard complaints from other users

[flint quest]

k k

[rose stream]

This thing also turned 31 a few months back, so that tracks. Lol.

[dusk patio]

the oldest console I ever played on when I was little 🤣

[balmy tapir]

but when i was last using a GTX 980 on linux it worked rather well lmao

[dusk patio]

it feels like some weird dream seeing this gameplay

[vague glacier]

What's a fair listing price for a gaming PC with a 12700k, 3060 12 GB, 16 GB ddr4, and 1 tb nvme

[steel umbra]

1 dollar is my bid

caps

[tulip sparrow]

Hmm the brand new Dialup video from LTT has a different thumbnail on desktop and mobile

[vague glacier]

Youtube allows people to A/B test thumbnails

Different people can get different thumbnails & titles

[tulip sparrow]

same title just different thumbnails LOL

[clear canyon]

thats bc of AB testing that youtube has

it shows different thumbnails and shows them which one peforms better

[tulip sparrow]

Honestly the one on the left would perform bnetter I think LOL

[clear canyon]

I also like the left one better but thats the thing about youtube lol, it can be different than what you think

[ivory mountain]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/T0t-DYPWVw0 god damn this dudes stupid LMAO what if their internet is out???

[warm saddle]

which ?

[balmy tapir]

i mean i understand the dislike for piratesoftware, but in this case, achievements can be earned offline, so i imagine the status of them is also stored locally as well as in the cloud

[ebon marlin]

still works

[midnight wind]

it's kinda based to be honest

[ebon marlin]

you can get achievements while in offline

[midnight wind]

Steam DRM ™

[ripe marsh]

anyone have any recs for hdmi cables in aus? I'm having issues with a av receiver and suspect it's the cable. It does need to be ~5m long as it is running through the wall.

[rigid fjord]

this isn't going to work, get a proper case for the mobo, or get an matx mobo for that case

[rigid fjord]

i can't say which as they can differ and i've not read into bios's tbh

[ivory mountain]

The game needs internet to sync achievements, if the achievements stay locked how can the game check for them? Unless this game is different, every game ive tried needs internet to unlock achievements

[balmy tapir]

you do not need internet to earn achievements, atleast not in every game

which is why tools like SAM can work

iirc other games also tie ingame unlocks to the achievements

[ivory mountain]

so easy to bypass this BS lmao

[wooden patio]

who decided that

[ivory mountain]

I love every tiktok vid with this sound lmao

[rigid fjord]

the case, the weight of the psu, and the design of the psu

[proper gull]

So you don't know how steam works?

[ivory mountain]

unless elden ring is different i was required to be online to get achievements and for them to sync to the servers. hense why tons of my achievements have the same unlock time

[wooden patio]

shhh

no the psu is gonna be taped to the bottom right

back in the day we threw parts around and they worked like new

[rigid fjord]

and that will interfere with any gpu put into it, so still a NO

[wooden patio]

brotato

wym

[ivory mountain]

taping parts??? son 😭

[wooden patio]

mounting tape

psu to bottom right of case

[ivory mountain]

i would not do this

[wooden patio]

i would

[rigid fjord]

the only thing safe to tape is a sata ssd

[wooden patio]

bro tato it's worth the risk

hmm true twin

[rigid fjord]

no idiot

[ivory mountain]

brodamon NO its not

[wooden patio]

brotato i only spent like 50$ on this pc so far i bought 2x120gb sata

[ivory mountain]

can we use words other than brotato

[wooden patio]

nothing gonna happen trust

ok

what's the big risk with mounting the psu

ok fine, ill make holes on the case so i can screw it in safely

good?

ignore the other issues

like ziptying the mobo

[ivory mountain]

what the fuck

[wooden patio]

😂

ik abt that grounding wtv

[ivory mountain]

i didnt read above yalls chats, what are u even trying to do atp

[wooden patio]

its wtv if i have to switch cases, i will

if it doesn't work

but if it works,u guys have to say i'm the greatest pc builder alive

diy builder

[wooden patio]

lwk building a bomb

[winged sky]

[limpid heath]

Good deal?

[cold skiff]

Nope. Looks like a Pcspecialist build with cl40 ram

[limpid heath]

what site would be better for someone looking for prebuilt wioth these specs in eurpoe

[cold skiff]

You want an ASRock itx board for am5… ironically

Depends on country but use PCPP as an initial way to outlay and find best prices

[limpid heath]

idk man, just looking for cheap good 1440p prebuilt

[cold skiff]

Oh wait you said prebuilt.

[limpid heath]

yeah

[cold skiff]

I pass on prebuilds. Too many with varying price fluctuation. Just gotta dig google

This build was originally 1k btw when it came out

[limpid heath]

im dead set on prebuilt and ordering in next day or 2

[cold skiff]

Cl40 ram hasn’t gone uk that much so as usual Pcspecialist are being predatory

[limpid heath]

ik im rushing but i want it soon and atm i have a gt1030 and just got gifted a 1440p ultrawide want a pc to match

[cold skiff]

What country are ya

[limpid heath]

irerland

ireland*

[cold skiff]

https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/system/ultra-75-black-friday-gaming-pc

Cyberpower still doing Black Friday deals apparently. This is better and cheaper

[limpid heath]

appreicate it will ahve a look now

[cold skiff]

A620m motherboard is ass but just an example so have a look on there. They’re not normally the best price but seems like they didn’t sell so well in Black Friday if deals still going and they ships to Eire

[limpid heath]

is there any m-atx prebuilts maybe you could reccomend ? if not no worries but this does look like alot better of a deal, i dont know what to even search for im so out of the loop with pc parts atm

[south arrow]

Unrelated but saw this and thought of you xD avg expierence

[limpid heath]

also im aiming for a budget of 1.4k to be exact thats my maxiumum if you could help me find a build to order

[hollow girder]

I may have a problem

[cold skiff]

Given the ram market if I was going to buy pre build I’d probably by one of the first I see like the one I linked that fits your budget. I’d just put up with the shitty motherboard because the gpu is better than the pcspecialist and ram prices are through the roof it’s not that bad a deal tbh

[limpid heath]

fair enough, thanks for the advice bro

[cold skiff]

Biggest problem for building your own is ram is genuinely exceptionally expensive in Ireland atm

Cheapest ram I can find at an Irish outlet is double the cheapest here on mainland uk

[daring crystal]

211 replies 🤣🤣🤣

[south arrow]

Idk why I thought you where in the uk

Ireland's cool to

[cold skiff]

The reason is simple - money

[south arrow]

Is limitless just an ai program/company?

[limpid heath]

yeah thats why im leaning toward prebuilt, if im honest im still leaning toward my build aesthetics wise for my setup is it a bad part list or is it just mid?

[cold skiff]

I mean you can buy from uk and ship over but I’m not sure on your import taxation

[daring crystal]

AI hardware / software company

[south arrow]

Gotcha

[daring crystal]

Used mainly by professionals

[south arrow]

In the coding space or just general use?

[daring crystal]

Business type

[balmy tapir]

womp womp another evil ai product

[cold skiff]

People like cyberpower though already got that in. IIRC you don’t get any import tax from the UK in Ireland but I can’t remember

[south arrow]

Metas pretty big who knows myte go alright

[daring crystal]

They only bought it to use the private conversations to train AI

[cold skiff]

It’s not evil. It’s just taking advantage of a big company to get money by having an unfinished product bought

[daring crystal]

I alone recorded tens of thousands of hours of conversations

[cold skiff]

Ai bubble for ya

[daring crystal]

Some people reached hundreds of thousands

[cold skiff]

I love how AI is like all about unfinished products being bought in a big circle jerk by big companies.

[limpid heath]

@cold skiff is my build that i sent bad or is it okay? im thinking of picking it over the oine you sent based on looks icl

[daring crystal]

Also they have software where you can record on your computer a lot of companies use. People who used it for HIPAA certification so they were using it in medical scenarios

So if your doctor used it. Now meta ai knows too 🤣🤣🤣

[daring crystal]

It's just like Humane a bunch of rug pulling and selling to the highest bidder

[elder pumice]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[cold skiff]

It was 1k a few months ago when that prebuilt line was released. It’s got crapper ram now. The one I linked is cheaper and will perform better. A 5070 12gb is better than a 9060xt. Put it this way, the 5070 is like £200 more than the 9060xt and the overall build is cheaper

[daring crystal]

Last year it makes sense now. They did a rebranding nobody asked for just to make it look good to get someone to do an acquisition

[cold skiff]

It’s also likely you can xmp the cyberpower ram. There’s no way they’ve thrown xmp or jdec only at 5200

[swift stream]

originally had a m.2 problem and now i have to reinstall entire bios 🫩

[cold skiff]

Yes. I do hate installing my entire bios too.

[limpid heath]

whats the next step up in the cyberpower l;ine?

[cold skiff]

They’ve got a 5060ti system at like 1600

[swift stream]

still flashing 😔

[cold skiff]

But I’ve only looked at one portion of the site. Have a dig around in there as it’s genuinely gonna be better if it’s still Black Friday deals to clear my man

[cold skiff]

Sounds like such a chore

You should use installed windows back in the day

One day gone to format, install, download drivers. Then the next day is downloading games. If you’re lucky on the second day ya can play one

Or if you were even luckier you had a single player game on cd or there wasn’t massive updates to your cd install for online

[south arrow]

Lol turns it on gets all excited to game andddd 30 minute update

[cold skiff]

Try 8-14 hours on 56k

Just for cs1.6 140mb

[valid laurel]

hey with ram prices increasing, should i get 32gb of ram instead of 64gb???

[cold skiff]

If you have to ask that question then you don’t need 64

[formal sonnet]

Get as much RAM as you can comfortably afford now, but don't buy more RAM than you need for the tasks you regularly do on your computer.

[empty quartz]

Newborn ahh

[cold skiff]

Those that need 64gb tend to have a need and know it. Those that question it, tend to not need it

[empty quartz]

Guys

[empty quartz]

Should i get 1.5tb of ram to upgrade from my current 256gb

[formal sonnet]

Yes, but only if you give me your existing 256GB for scientific analysis porpoises...

[cold skiff]

Deffo.

[empty quartz]

No

[cold skiff]

Better yet, get DDR3. Capacity is all you want for AI

[empty quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/porpoise-protocol-dolphin-movie-poster-dolphin-gif-2871574566402283504

[cold skiff]

Then sell it as an AI rig and not state its DDR3 and scam some dollars in

[valid laurel]

ll be gaming, video and photo editing, 3d modelling, 2d and 3d animation, using the adobe suit, other softwares like blender, unreal engine 5, maya, toon boom harmony, i'll also be streaming ect those are all the things that are at the top of my head oh yh audio editing

[empty quartz]

Its 8x32gb ddr4 rimm

Ecc

[limber nacelle]

agreed

[cold skiff]

Is it a hobby or is it a job build

[limber nacelle]

tbh as a modeler id rather have 64gb myself

[valid laurel]

for university and my future career

[empty quartz]

I might get 48gb or 64gb of ram (ddr5 when prices drop) for my main

[cold skiff]

Then 32gb

Until you’re earning money, you don’t need it.

[limber nacelle]

32gb is passable but id rather have the extra capacity and not need it than need it and not have it

[cold skiff]

Save the extra $300 for something else

[empty quartz]

I need more ram for my main

32gb isnt cutting it

[cold skiff]

And don’t get an x3d cpu unless it’s 9950x3d for building in unreal engine

[limber nacelle]

@valid laurel does your uni have machines for you?

[limber nacelle]

if youre doing real time stuff id rather spend more on a gpu

[cold skiff]

MHz > cache for blender and ue5

[valid laurel]

i'm commuting from home and its an hour and a half commute by bus

[cold skiff]

Yeah CUDA is also a must

[limber nacelle]

what im asking if they have decent machines to render on

[valid laurel]

would rather use it at home

[valid laurel]

rtx 4060

[limber nacelle]

my last college has 7950x and 4090s

[limber nacelle]

oh......

[cold skiff]

So bear in mind you want CUDA. Get 32gb, buy the more expensive gpu you need not the ram that is nice but won’t make as much a difference

[valid laurel]

i already have the graphics card, cpu aio on my side, i have a case arriving monday

[limber nacelle]

Idk, I do really enjoy having more than 32gb of ram

once you start working with really high fidelity assets it'll really help out

[valid laurel]

intel cpus as well, i'm currently on a macbook pro m5, but mainly got this for on the go stuff or if icba to sit at my desk

[limber nacelle]

i.e the 100m+ mark in zbrush, just having multiple DCCs open at once, etc

[valid laurel]

the graphics card is an rtx 5080, the cpu cooler is an arctic liquid freezer iii pro and the case is a corsair frame 4000d rs

[limber nacelle]

you don't need more than 32gb for most things, but again, it's really nice

[cold skiff]

My problem on recommending is I don’t do that stuff anymore. My friends in the industry have lovely bought PCs for them with all of what you need. They have told me before though the gpu matters more especially in UE.

As soon as 3090, 4090, 5090 etc come out. Their companies get that for them

That’s how much it matters

[valid laurel]

the cpu i'm getting is a ryzen 9 9950x3d

[limber nacelle]

ran is whatever until you run out...

[limber nacelle]

atp just buy 64gb

😭

[cold skiff]

You have FOMO

[limber nacelle]

balling out on a 80 class gpu and a flagship cpu but only getting 32gb is kinda sad

[cold skiff]

Get 32gb

[valid laurel]

i wish i had rtx 5090 money, i was lucky with the price i got my rtx 5080 is was £960

[valid laurel]

okie lol, i'm just trying to save money where i can lol, but stupid ai had the fuck up the ram market

[cold skiff]

When it’s Kraftons money you take it… they’re tight af

[limber nacelle]

eww krafton

yeah spend their money

[cold skiff]

Yep. They buy out good companies unfortunately

[limber nacelle]

👍 👍 👍

[cold skiff]

Being sued by a few owners they’ve sacked too

[limber nacelle]

also recent announcement that they're gonna be "ai first"

🤮

[cold skiff]

Oh yeah

They stopped sub2 launching because of that

Denied bonuses of millions and said “it’s not finished. We need ai”

It’s proper slime baggy

[limber nacelle]

I mean thats most companies in games and vfx looooooool

most of them are well.... not great

[cold skiff]

They’re basically hoping AI can replace their artists

As you expect, people aren’t working tremendously hard

[limber nacelle]

actually western gaming companies aren't too bad to work at anymore I hear

[valid laurel]

that's so great, ai should always be first, like it's not like its a robot or anything and doesnt contribute to the human race

[limber nacelle]

or at least, relative to the past

[cold skiff]

But yah. Rock star went full Krafton+ recently

[limber nacelle]

before ea spouse

[cold skiff]

So idk about the western company being bad to work for when you sack 20+ staff including 4 department heads and delay your 10bn+ game

[valid laurel]

gotta support the clankers

[cold skiff]

Rockstar was once a sought after industry job. Now they’ll be the back of the list, even EA UK treat you better

[latent gull]

Ehhh, I wouldn’t go that far when bungie is still kickin

[limber nacelle]

hmm I'm just talking about what I hear about the bigger studios in vancouver.... though granted, theres not many gaming ones here

or rather major studios

[daring crystal]

If I'm building a PC is it smarter to just get a prebuild since they are cheaper than ram

[limber nacelle]

I mean isnt that literally what people did during the gpu shortage

[daring crystal]

Yeah because I know Costco marks their prebuild done almost all year long

does it have to be bestbuy

the msi is immediately out
an almost identical legion (i7 instead of i9) is same price as the gigabyte aero in bnh

[fringe prairie]

5i is a bit different but yeah

you lose the all alu premium build

[latent pasture]

the outside is still aluminum its the keyboard surface part is plastic

i dont think that part worth paying another +$300 to be aluminum

[fringe prairie]

the 7i is all alu

but yeah i agree it’s probably not worth

[latent pasture]

the msi one is plastic, low power limits (90w 5070) AND is even more expensive than the 7i

total wack lmao

[tame pebble]

that or amazon

You know you don't need to populate all dimms to do a bios update, right

also why would more ram be an issue in a bios flash, it's not doing memory checking

[swift stream]

i accidentally corrupted my previous bios, turned it from half functional to dead

[swift stream]

i meant flash drives... 😔

[left dove]

well, a bios flash shouldn't take more than 10 minutes so

And if a bios flash has taken 4 hours something is incorrect and you should restart.

a bios flash shouldn't take 4 hours lmao

my motherboard was able to detect the MSI.ROM, but since my bios is recovering itself. It has to load through the cycle to check for hidden files multiple times

and I am using a 32gb 2.0 flash drive with a travel speed of 8 mb/s 💀

[left dove]

what do you mean "hidden files"

that's not how a bios flash works

It's a very low-level operation that does a checksum of the bios image and then writes it to the actual bios chip

there's no miscellaneous file scanning

it sees the file and checks it, if it's good, it writes it

Your bios flash has stalled out, restart the process

Oh nevermind I regret helping you

yeah go ahead and sit there for another 8 hours

[south arrow]

Not sure why but you got thiss

Grumpy sys admin can revert most ui things if along those lines in his vids*

[eager mango]

uh well my cpu is the intel i5 4570

i def shouldnt be on 11 but ive been using it for like a month now, 10 is a lot more ideal

[south arrow]

Thats valid, no qualms

[eager mango]

only annoying thing is loosing my data, is there a way to revert with keeping all the same files

[south arrow]

Could backup via g drive if within your limit. Or a cheap usb stick maybe

[eager mango]

i have a 32gb usb

[south arrow]

If within your files range never hurts to backup important stuff. Then just move it over after

[eager mango]

i dont really have anything important other that stupid stuff i dont care if i loose

i just hate having to redownload everything again

[south arrow]

Thats fair xD part of the process that gets us all

[eager mango]

yeah nah fuck that, sticking to 11

[random gyro]

woke

[south arrow]

I should be the sleep

But alas only suffering and dooOom

Any tips to get a dead Ethernet port back up and working?

[dapper dragon]

Replace it

[south arrow]

For a router myte be a challenge but on pc/console can get a usb to ethernet that'll suffice for cheap off alie/amazon

[true drift]

do yall have any good game recommendations

[past bone]

I know facebook its not ideal for getting pc but what are the chances I can trust this 😔 (sorry if this is the wrong channel to send this btw)

[hexed tapir]

What's the price

[south arrow]

Looks fine just have them demo 3dmark demo or furmark when you get there to see thermals and how temps rise before fans kick in

[past bone]

$1200 usd

[eager mango]

hm

[past bone]

Okok ty

[formal sonnet]

Minecraft. Hands down, best value piece of software I've ever purchased.

[south arrow]

Myte be worth trying to get a bit more off for it but not the worst deal

[true drift]

i got sick of minecraft when i was 6 😆

[wheat torrent]

This is such a good take

Minecraft is so varied

[true drift]

i havent played minecraft in 10 years damn

[south arrow]

I havent put my save file to pc yet buttt with rtx, lava is just nice ya know

[hexed tapir]

Portal and halflife

[true drift]

hmmmm

never tried those

[south arrow]

I hear good things

[formal sonnet]

Fair. Still fun with friends / mods, but if you want something modern... Any game by Quantic Dream is golden, as are the Horizon games, the Batman Arkham games, and Kona: Bridge of Spirits was decent. Dust: An Elysian Tale is also amazing if you like 2D platformer hack n slash games with a story.

[wheat torrent]

Thing is Minecraft

• one of the most modded game
• has multiplayer with very big community
• lots of gamemodes for all types of players

[true drift]

ive been playing this game, and only this game for around 2 years, thats why im trying to play something new 😆

[proper gull]

Major skill issue

[wheat torrent]

For example if you want to build In Minecraft the amount of options is crazy

[true drift]

im always on the FD

[eager mango]

btw the founder of that game was a zoophile and sent very very weird stuff to members of his community.

would distance myself from that game

[true drift]

im aware, i just dont have anything else to play really

[eager mango]

erlc

[true drift]

seems like they sorted everything though

i dont like erlc

[eager mango]

how come, you also seem to be running maple at max graphics, you can prob play fivem,

[true drift]

erlc doesnt have a proper q siren

thats the only reason lol

i never thought of fivem

i dont know too much about how it works

[eager mango]

its just a gta mod

[true drift]

right

[spring latch]

this bug is STILL happening in 2025, letalone right before 2026

i feel like gemini is just getting worse

[cold skiff]

That’s good spelling

could anyone recommend me some good music apps for desktop preferably youtube music and no ads

[proper gull]

Your browser, and adblock

Or just get YouTube premium

[weary rampart]

Opinions on what wireless earbuds to buy. I know the airpod peos are really good but am on android so looking for some alternatives

[quaint spoke]

is this a good travel adapter? https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0DHVNW1CN

[hollow mulch]

do you ever go offline?

[kindred halo]

Found 'cheap' DDR5

1x32GB, ECC, 5600MHz, CL46
$65

[stray portal]

i had 6 euro youtube premium and music combined

[stray portal]

whats wrong with u pal

[hidden grotto]

only 20W

not enough imo

[hollow mulch]

its just that every time i look at discord you're always here

[stray portal]

i slept

i was offline

[weary rampart]

You can just buy on alibaba as well. Lik 70-100 eur per 6000mt/s stick

Depending on the vendor you have an MOQ of like 10 pieces though

[quaint spoke]

laptop would be passthrough

and 20W for my phone is fine i think since i have an iphone lol

can they even do more than that?

Fast-charge capable: Up to 50% charge in around 30 minutes17 with 20W adapter or higher paired with USB‑C charging cable

[hidden grotto]

should be fine ig, mine is 35W, i tend to charge my phone and earbuds at the same time

or my tablet instead of earbuds

[weary rampart]

Here Alibaba is the play for RAM. If you can find people for a group order since the MOQ is 10 pieces

[hidden grotto]

could always buy 10 pieces yourself, and resell them for slight profit on facebook market place

probably best to buy the 16GB DDR5 sticks, and sell them for 50 euros

[weary rampart]

There are some with an MOQ of 2 but sticks themselves are more expensive.

Also since its China import costs but even with import costs its still cheaper than buying local

[quaint spoke]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2wd_JPCgsM okay seems like it can draw abt 35W ur right 20 might be a little slow

do u have any better travel adapter recommendations then, i saw on the product listing it says if ur using both usb ports it drops to 15W LOL

[proper gull]

Ah yes mystery no-name ram

[hidden grotto]

lol yeah, i always go higher, there are 60W, which would be perfect for charging phone+tablet or phone +earbuds, but they are noticeably more expensive

[weary rampart]

Its just a random listing I picked but they have Crucial, Lexar etc as well

[proper gull]

Just because they say it's something it doesn't mean it is....

[quaint spoke]

seems like nothing by anker though

idk if i should pick up a random thing on amazon or what

[hidden grotto]

alibaba is not aliexpress, they are are wholesalers, you just gotta do your due diligence, see the reviews, and check online

[hidden grotto]

check UGREEN

[weary rampart]

Even Aliexpress is really good nowadays.

[hidden grotto]

also airports typically have stuff like this at duty free, will a bit more than amazon though

[proper gull]

Why buy anker anyway

[weary rampart]

Also Alibaba is one of the places where stores buy their shit from in the first place

[proper gull]

Garbage company

[hidden grotto]

oh yeah, FIIO FT1 headphones are only off aliexpress pretty much, and are really good for the price point

[hidden grotto]

usually easier to know rated wattage and what not, at least easier than those random brands

[hidden grotto]

entirety of amazon is basically alibaba and aliexpress

[quaint spoke]

easier than filtering the slop on amazon, if you just search for travel adapter u will see a lot of complete garbage that is only on amazon because they abuse the US patent office register thier shit lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Bq-6GeRhys

[weary rampart]

Like big million dollar companies might talk to factories directly but smaller stores and mom and pop stores if they buy in bulk would mist likely go to a place like Alibaba or similar for stock

[quaint spoke]

alibaba is literally mainstream now

the real chinese deals are on taobao

no shipping to north america though you need a reshipper

[hidden grotto]

its what i do with amazon, Aramex has shipping forwarding service

they'll give you an address in whichever country (usually just their warehouse), and you just order your stuff to there

[quaint spoke]

i see https://www.amazon.ca/UGREEN-Charger-Charging-Universal-Compatible/dp/B09X1H88VP but it doesn't seem to have australia's type I

other than that seems perfect

[hidden grotto]

prolly enough honestly

[quaint spoke]

(im going to australia next year)

[hidden grotto]

youu can always buy those dumb adapter for australia, prolly $2-3

[quaint spoke]

kinda defeats the point of dropping $60 on a universal power adapter then but whatever lol

there's probably nothing better anyway

[hidden grotto]

https://a.co/d/hGaaTA7

[quaint spoke]

probably can just buy it in australia for cheaper than amazon

or go to walmart lol

[hidden grotto]

you can buy these little ones

[hidden grotto]

prolly check best buy, might have stuff

[quaint spoke]

yea

this part i always found weird

cuz sites say Type I is also in china

but a lot of china is just NA plugs

as long as its not tri proged it works

[hidden grotto]

some countries are weird, no standardization really

here we use the 2 prong plug, but there some different versions of it, so very normal to get an adapter, since some stuff gets imported from EU, which will have 3 prong plug

[quaint spoke]

what country? 🤔

[eager mango]

hey im from new zealand 🤚

[hidden grotto]

Lebanon

[quaint spoke]

ahhh

[quaint spoke]

wont be visiting u guys unfortunately lol

will be in Queensland tho!

[eager mango]

how come

[quaint spoke]

there's a international competition for stuff i do for school every year

[hidden grotto]

new zealand is very pretty though, i'd rather visit that, than australia

[white sphinx]

Depends where in the eu, britain uses the 3 prong, basically everywhere else uses standard 2 prong.

[eager mango]

i mean hey, if one of our political parties bills gets past, shop lifting will essnetially be legal, might be worth it

[quaint spoke]

they pick 1 country in a continent and rotate every year

i think last year it was japan for asia

[quaint spoke]

cooked

[eager mango]

if you ever do come here, go to south island, stay the fuck away from the north

[quaint spoke]

if u use both then it becomes 45W lol

[quaint spoke]

isn't auckland a big city lol

[hidden grotto]

yeah, adapters get weird, you need to read the fine print, its what i did with my 140W ugreen gan one

[eager mango]

yeha i live there..

[quaint spoke]

LOL

[eager mango]

south island is so much nicer

[eager mango]

nah go to south auckland and go round saying 'seig fuck' and people will love you

[quaint spoke]

is this the equivalent of going to chicago's o block

[eager mango]

borderline i reckon

its pretty bad

[quaint spoke]

seems like ugreen also only has one travel adapter LOL

i might as well get the anker since power passthrough + 15W seems better than 45w + 5v

[hidden grotto]

at least the anker has type i

[silent scarab]

What is the best 4k monitor price and feature wise?

[hidden grotto]

[silent scarab]

imma call up some tech stores tommorow and ask if they have any spare like old parts i could come collect for free

[silent scarab]

I was on rtings but the review sites are different from end user opinion which is why i asked.

[hidden grotto]

@quaint spoke check Satechi, they have a travel adapter

https://youtu.be/YdtXzqQZuJ8

this video has a couple of them

[silent scarab]

I'm not gonna do any 4k gaming but i do need to replace my 1440p monitors. What i'm currently using. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ttnG3C/acer-monitor-xb271hubmiprz

[quaint spoke]

oh yeah they have this BEAST

or i do could what he said in the video and get one of the ones with a removeable 8 shape and then switch out the cable

[hidden grotto]

yupp, in the video, this table is shown, so im not sure about its fast charging

[hidden grotto]

didn't notice that one

[quaint spoke]

https://youtu.be/YdtXzqQZuJ8?t=285

[quaint spoke]

lol no pps for the travel one

oh its called a c7 cable

[hidden grotto]

ohhhhhhhhhh, never heard of that term lol, but yeah, thats a good idea ngl

[quaint spoke]

idk why bro said figure eight

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320

[hidden grotto]

maybe UK terminology ?

[quaint spoke]

maybe

[hidden grotto]

but idk if any adapters have that

like i dont think many of them have a plug for C7 cable

(im missing the idea totally right now)

[quaint spoke]

you wouldnt need an adapter in this case no?

just native plug for that country to C7

and u plug c7 into the charger

and since it has a 60/40/30/30 split you dont need to bring any other chargers or adapters

just dont lose it LOL

[weary rampart]

Well gonna take a gamble if shipping quote is favourable from Alibaba for some sets of Lexar RAM

[twilit ember]

yo guys i need to get some wireless headphones for gaming need a good mic, it can be over ear or on ear
any recommendation?

[weary rampart]

Wireless mics are never that good because of bandwidth limitations.

Also whats your budget

[twilit ember]

like 6000 rupees which i think is like 80 dollars

[weary rampart]

I used to have a good experience with the logitech g935 but its a heavy one

[twilit ember]

hm like very heavy?

i mean ill really only use it for an hour or 2

[twilit ember]

dont think its available in my country

[weary rampart]

Then it should be fine. Its an old model though so there might be much better headsets in that price range now.

I have personally used a dt990 with a seperate mic for years now so havent kept up with gaming headsets

I know the best budget wited headset is the HyperX cloud 2

Wireless idk much more than what I have used myself. And theyre also a bit more expensive

[twilit ember]

lemme check out the hyperx cloud 2

its actually quite a fair price

might go for it

thanks!

ill check out the cloud 3 too

Hi, I'm trynna contribute to an organisation rn but they use an ancient protocol called IRC for internal communication and it's way too complex. Does anybody over here have any knowledge abt this?

Hey guys, ive not beein in the pc building business for a while, my gf really wants to play games like rdr2 (max settings) 1080p with raytracing and things like intense minecraft shaders, does anyone have any specific gpu recommendations?

aiming for 1080 144

[gleaming rose]

ayaneo next 2 looks like a good deal - sell my PC? I want to be able to go places with my electronics

I guess I'll have to wait for the price tag, I bet it will be over $2k

[royal loom]

Did I connect them right? (Image is upside down motherboard is a A520 aorus elite case is a foifkin k6)

[jovial swan]

That would be most unfortunate. Ill look into it.

Also, i found this pc on Facebook marketplace for about 60 USD, is it worth it as a "old-school" early 2010s gaming pc?

lol well dial-up is 56 Kbps so it’s pretty bad

[narrow bronze]

Hey so i got an RTX 3090 FE and i am wondering if selling it and buying an RTX 5070 Ti would be an good upgrade for better performance and better efficiency. I am planning on doing various AI tasks on it

[cold skiff]

Ancient protocol called irc

[dapper dragon]

Depends on if it’s super memory heavy

The 3090s 24gb of Vram is a carry

[narrow bronze]

Well i run various ai tasks but like its super loud and heats up my room

[dapper dragon]

What AI tasks

[warm saddle]

do you have good cable managment at the back of the case?

[narrow bronze]

Well flux 1 dev, qwen image and some video generation if its fast

i got a nzxt h5 elite

[dapper dragon]

Without Flux I’d stick to the 3090

My bad multitasking

But if that’s a huge part of it the 5070ti will be an upgrade for sure

[narrow bronze]

I ran Wan video generation but got sick of the long gen times and very hot core

[dapper dragon]

5070ti has better AI units but the 3090 has more Vram

[narrow bronze]

it got fp8 and fp4 support

and acceleration with sage attention

[dapper dragon]

The 5070ti will be a lot faster in some cases, but that’s if you don’t get bottlenecked by the Vram

[narrow bronze]

8 bit quant of flux is 12 gb

[dapper dragon]

If you aren’t doing full-precision 70B–120B training or some shit then yeah it’s a great upgrade

[narrow bronze]

I still can’t do 70b on a 3090

no i usually rent gpus or do fp8/fp4 training

[dapper dragon]

Oh really?

Idk too much about AI tasks

[narrow bronze]

2 bit yes but performance gets fucked

[dapper dragon]

Ah gotcha

[narrow bronze]

I even believe some of my standoffs are coming off due to the 3.6 kg weight

Get a 5090 Astral. Only way.

What would i need a 5090 for💀

Hey guys, I’m looking at building my cousin his first pc but I’ve stumbled across some really cheap ddr5 ram but it’s only 1x16gb. I know dual channel is almost always the go to but how much of a difference would that really make with ddr5? I’ve heard that he may experience lower 1% FPS

It’s a $50 CAD 1x16gb DDR5 stick so definitely very cheap with this current market

[white sphinx]

Hypothetically, would it be possible to use an old ibm monitor for a modern system?

[left dove]

is it vga?

[rigid fjord]

it would be possible, but if it's from 486 era or earlier you will need to do a xga/cga/ega to vga adapter

especially as it could be 9 pin similar in looks to a serial port

I don't heavily use my s9fe+ but I charge it like once or twice a week

[muted plaza]

Kill everyone

[teal sphinx]

fe+ seems to have much better battery life

🤔

I don't understand though

[fringe prairie]

slower less power hungry cpu and no oled display

[teal sphinx]

why the fuck is huawei matepad with worse cpu with way worse power efficiency with tandem oled

[exotic cape]

But I have issues with youtube videos locking to 480p

Testing out the 32x slow mo

[teal sphinx]

and still do way better than what samsung has to offer

and the battery are smaller

[solid quail]

720p 15fps. Original source was only 480fps so hence why only 32x slow mo

🤔

what i dun understand is the idle power consumption

what is causing that.

are the oled panel used by samsung just very inefficient?

Hi! Does anyone know a Chrome extension that lets you drag and drop text from a browser into a note-taking app (similar to how PureRef works with images)?

I’m putting together a large collection of references and need to sort through text on a lot of pages/tabs, so a quick drag-and-drop workflow would help a lot.

I remember seeing 120fps slowmo on a smartphone for the first time years ago and being astonished

This being a 480fps source is crazy

[left dove]

Not in many years

[brazen glen]

I never got into 3, but I’ve never stopped playing 2 lol

Open rct2 rocks

[frigid blade]

It’s a lot harder to get a high quality stream than I thought

To a browser

Especially with Python

[muted wind]

Chat, 12400f and 1070 8gb for $575 CAD good deal?

[frigid blade]

Can get 1440p@30fps VP8 but it’s running like 3-5Mbps bitrate and the quality is kinda dookie

I really just don’t understand WebRTC or Encoding enough

[proven radish]

Is this a good AM5 gaming build? https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/h9srzP

[unkempt blaze]

Just installed latest windows 11. When I try to do changes in my AMD control panel, everything just resets instantly... already reinstalled. Any help?

[spice raven]

I am planning to get a Laptop Should I consider qualcomm laptops?
The laptop will be usind only for browsing internet, and ms office here and there

[shy arch]

Nah not rlly there biggest plus is battery life but if u wanna open 5 chrome tabs then that also goes down to nithing special

get an 8gb i5 or smth like that

[spice raven]

i have an 8gb intel garbage, cannot run 4k videos on battery

11th gen btw
I also have a macbook pro and a PC, the laptop is just as a backup

anyone here has been using qualcomm powered laptops?
how has their experience been

[scarlet tartan]

Newer AMD laptops are very good

[scarlet tartan]

Haven't used them but they're great for battery life

[mint umbra]

bro everytime I update windows it asks if I want game pass and one drive bs

[shy arch]

get a 16gb ddr5 i7 laptop then. also yes i have used a variety of laptops including qualcomm/snapdragon ones and to be frank u can't do much on them

[spice raven]

what does much mean?

[spice raven]

they are like 100k+

my budget is less than half that, the laptop will only be sitting on the shelf 75% of the time so

[sullen saddle]

Bro what happened to ram prices I was on a upgrade my ram to a Corsair dominator plat 64 gb for 200 quid now it’d 500

why did ram 2.5 in price in like a month or 2

[spice raven]

also intel is horrible for that price

[stray portal]

why my hand like this in cs2

on ubuntu 25.10

linux native version of cs2

[sullen saddle]

Did nvmes also go up In price

Pls god kill ai like how u killed crypto

[boreal tiger]

are you considering buying new laptop?

[spice raven]

definitely

[boreal tiger]

whats your budget in USD?

[rigid bear]

Can someone give me their opinion on this pc? I’m a bit skeptical https://ezcomputers.com/product/i7-7700-gtx-1660s/

[trim schooner]

whats the best am5 atx motherboard rn

[boreal tiger]

price and what you gonna use it for?

[rigid bear]

It’s 400 and prob gaming only

[spice raven]

FYI i am not fro USA so majority of laptops in EU and USA arent available here

[boreal tiger]

i think you should negotiate the price if you can and it should be good for medium setting gaming

[boreal tiger]

which laptops are you considering and what are you gonna use them for?

[rigid bear]

yeah I was looking up named part prices and the processor and gpu practically make up the whole price leaving little for ram and ssd so I was skeptical bc idk what ssd and ram I’m getting

[spice raven]

browsing, ms office thats it and some media consumption

[boreal tiger]

np most laptops can easily do that

[boreal tiger]

ok

[spice raven]

I know but My requirements include type C charging and decent battery backup

[random junco]

just look for a laptop with type c charging input then

[real lantern]

[winter lantern]

My psu killed itself so im gonna buy a new one is pc part pickers wattage calculations accurate?

[random junco]

2-3 years and there should be good signs

[real lantern]

i thought more.... that's good!

[random junco]

lets hope its not more 🙏

[real lantern]

maybe i can finally buy 4 gigs

[random junco]

of what ddr gen

[real lantern]

5

[random junco]

😭

[real lantern]

just got a 7600x just before the crisis however i procastinated the other stuff

[gleaming rose]

ok should I start paying for proton

[random junco]

i already got my ram but i dont have a graphics card
on black friday the b570 was at £169.99 and i was like nah it'll be lower in a few months

[gleaming rose]

it's lowk kinda expensive for only 500gb of storage

[random junco]

was hella confused when i saw protein lol

[random junco]

this?

literally just 4 months and you could get an nvme

or just like half a month and get a hdd

[empty quartz]

Mrrp :3

[gleaming rose]

exactly

I only want the VPN and email

[empty quartz]

Id rather get 12tb of icloud

[delicate zodiac]

How do I make my tv support twitch and screen sharing from my iPhone on my old Toshiba tv? For like 50$

[empty quartz]

:3

[empty quartz]

Google chromecast

[fringe prairie]

walmarts $20 onn streaming box

[random junco]

to be honest thats actually not bad for 15 emails and a private vpn

[delicate zodiac]

Does it only support screen sharing or can I put twitch or any other website on it?

[empty quartz]

Screensharing

[delicate zodiac]

Walmart doesn’t ship here

[fringe prairie]

which country are you in

[random junco]

i would get an amazon firestick, its just a stick that makes any monitor a smart tv

[delicate zodiac]

Czech Republic

[random junco]

has apps including twitch and screensharing

[winter lantern]

Will an 850w be good for a 5070ti and 13900kf

[south arrow]

Probs fine but can always plug it all into pcpartpicker.com to have an estimated wattage use total

[random junco]

no

yesn't

[winter lantern]

Pcpartpicker has it all at 765

[winter lantern]

So technically but not really?

[random junco]

how much is a 1000w

[delicate zodiac]

Is it this thingy? It does sell local stores only here

[south arrow]

Probs solid, ofc if you find a 1000w for similar price couldnt hurt (be quiet and montech usually have sales)

[random junco]

if the price difference to a higher wattage is not too much, you should get the higher wattage

[random junco]

yep

[winter lantern]

110-150

[random junco]

how much is the 850

[winter lantern]

I didnt have a specific psu ready

[random junco]

ohh right

[winter lantern]

So probably like 90ish id say

[random junco]

then deffo a 1000w then

[winter lantern]

My psu broke and I need a new one

It said platinum and killed itself 🥀

Ig roblox was too much for it

[random junco]

what brand? 😭

[winter lantern]

I think its s- tier on the psu tier list

[random junco]

dayumm

[delicate zodiac]

What does it support? Is it just like OS with website, applications that works trough hdmi?

[rigid fjord]

there is no S tier

[winter lantern]

Then a-

I never actually looked at it

[random junco]

its android. its got most apps that people use such as youtube, netflix, amazon prime, amazon luna (for cloud gaming) , twitch.... basically everything you can think of
it does have website support too through the silk browser
and yeah its basically a computer inside a hdmi stick

[winter lantern]

Seasonic

[winter lantern]

Its basically an android in an hdmi stick not a computer

[random junco]

a platinum seasonic dying on itself?

[random junco]

im dumbing it down

[winter lantern]

I mean i think so

[random junco]

and u sure you didnt do anything 🫢

[delicate zodiac]

How is it powered? (I mean does it have some usb-a or?)

[winter lantern]

Ill send a vid of my turning it on

[random junco]

micro usb

[winter lantern]

You're supposed to plug it in the USB port of the tv

[random junco]

the newer models might be different, but mine is micro usb

[random junco]

the port on the firestick

thats what they meant

i mean u can plug the cable into the mains or the tv... as long as it gets power

[winter lantern]

If you dont do it in the tv it just stays on forever

[random junco]

i have a dumb tv from 2008 and it doesnt have a usb port.

and yeah its on all the time but its faster to switch on and it also doesnt use that much energy

[empty quartz]

My solution was just using my 2012 mac mini

[winter lantern]

I was just playing roblox and it broke 🥀

[empty quartz]

Rma

[random junco]

welll that works too!

[winter lantern]

How do I rma something i didnt buy

Actually a psu might be more reasonable

[random junco]

so you stole it

[winter lantern]

Pre owned

[south arrow]

If you ask them couldnt hurt and give the model # worst they can say is no

[covert torrent]

So i sold my gpu recently and i'm waiting on my 3080 to arrive, the only problem is that no matter what i do ( DDU, WHQL drivers, safe mode ) the driver for my 7600x just doesn't install, i don't have the igpu disabled anywhere, not in bios or windows, i literally cannot launch any opengl app because i don't have a driver installed.

[random junco]

what marketplace?

[empty quartz]

So you bought a used psu, and are now surprised that it broke

[winter lantern]

It worked for 6-7 months just fine

[random junco]

7600x has no igpu

wait what

[covert torrent]

it does

[rigid fjord]

it has an igpu amost equal to vega 7

[covert torrent]

only apps i got running are post void and half life 1 😭

[winter lantern]

Yeah because its a platinum seasonic

[covert torrent]

no opengl apps will launch

[random junco]

but what marketplace did you get it from

[winter lantern]

Facebook in a prebuilt

[random junco]

sigh

[weak sleet]

anyone know what could be causing this error? Im having it on geometry dash and minecraft. I have a 7900xtx and my graphics drivers are up to date, i also have played these games on this driver version a few days ago. I have also tried replacing the opengl32 dll file but it didnt fix it. I have also made sure the games are using my 7900xtx and not integrated

[winter lantern]

It literally worked for 7 months

[empty quartz]

Just because its “platinum seasonic” doesn’t mean its good

[covert torrent]

wow looks like we have the same error except you have a gpu

[winter lantern]

This sure looks like a dead psu

[random junco]

um

[winter lantern]

Are you tryna mock me or something because its in quotes

[weak sleet]

im also running a 7xxx series amd cpu. maybe they updated something and broke em?

[covert torrent]

unlikely

my 6750 xt worked with the current driver version before i shipped it out

maybe try ddu and reinstall driver?

[empty quartz]

If you wanted me to mock you, i wouldn’t be attempting to be nice

[weak sleet]

i could try yea. i deleted and reinstalled the drivers about a month ago but did not do a ddu. i guess its round 2

[random junco]

long 2-fan cards are so ugly bro

otherwise it looks clean

cant really complain if its the cheapest b570 but i really wanted to vertically mount

[weak sleet]

looks like wall-e

[random junco]

waste allocation load lifter earth class

[young crest]

Acer always makes the weird ass cards

[random junco]

sigh i see acer card brand new to be the same price as this beautiful used b570

[random junco]

[young crest]

I like them

Brings some fun designs to an industry that hasn’t had fun things done in a long time

So is it gonna look good on my tv when everything looks good?

[young crest]

[random junco]

yep

[delicate zodiac]

OK thanks

[random junco]

[young crest]

This is a 46” LCD from 2007 and it’s even 1080

[delicate zodiac]

Also sorry for my stupid questions

[random junco]

nah no worries, its good to be asking questions before you buy something

better safe than sorry

[delicate zodiac]

Yep

[young crest]

Being an informed consumer is very cool

[random junco]

[night granite]
