I just can't fathom why they need so much ram suddenly

[latent gull]

It’s not suddenly

[wheat torrent]

It been a gradually raising indeed

[latent gull]

They were okay with vram on enterprise level GPUs before but it’s probably not enough now

[daring scaffold]

Several enormous AI data centres across the globe, all of them nearly big enough to need their own power plants lol

500,000 ram wafers a month I think?

[stoic nova]

some new llm interface that can defer parameters to it over vram I wager

[latent gull]

That would track

[wheat torrent]

Can't wait for this ram shortage to yield +1% performance In synthetic bullshit LLM benchmarks

[latent gull]

Well it’s not a shortage for them

[stoic nova]

i just pulled that out of my ass, whistle wouldve been blown by now

[steel umbra]

Traditional italians are the best he gib me €4.5 worth in samples when i asked for a bit of those mini samples

[latent gull]

It’s fiction till it isn’t , and it’s a fiction that’s progressing rather quickly, it’s believable that they’ll have that fairly soon at least, if not already

[wheat torrent]

What I'm wondering is if there is shortage of the ram chips or actual ram modules

[stoic nova]

we would see a tech linked on it by now

[iron glen]

Banana in plastic wrap

[wheat torrent]

I would expect enterprise to purchase ram at a higher price than consumers

[steel umbra]

Bruh

[latent gull]

Only if Riley hosted it though, otherwise it wouldn’t be watched

[wheat torrent]

Similar how entreprise GPUs cost tens of thousand of dollars

[stoic nova]

touche

[wheat torrent]

Or are they using consumer RAM

[steel umbra]

Ripe cheese is so good

[daring scaffold]

Ofc, that’s why the companies are shifting to them

I just started doing it when i saw a computer i wanted to try out but it was on the "let's get you connected" or the "log in to your Microsoft account"

Oh
That's just a sag bracket
I thought it was like the actual gpu
But no, just a scam ad

[sour storm]

yeah i've noticed that on ali express and temu that most of the time they use images that technically could somehow fit but the actual product is diffrent

[odd marsh]

yes

[peak swan]

No, they have the gpu under the listing too
But it's an option you select

Is epic games store good

It has some more games than steam

But only the store aspect is good

[rigid fjord]

it's so/so

[rigid fjord]

rougly about only 3-4 games worth getting from this

[stray portal]

hogwarts legacy, jurasic world evolution2, tropico 5, lego batman, slime rancher 2, terraria, detroit become human, rdr2

Imo those are worth

Except for detroit, i already own it

[rigid fjord]

hogwarts ain't worth it

nor is tropico 5 tbh

[stray portal]

yeah i dont like harry pooper i just said it cuz i know its popular

[rigid fjord]

terraria becomes so free so often you can grab it at any time

[wheat torrent]

Hi rauko

[rigid fjord]

sup

[wheat torrent]

Terraria is good value

[rigid fjord]

it's free more often than not

bit like black desert online when it coems to steam

[green fern]

Right, not like its likely amd will continue with the way their cpu's are designed after zen 5. Tbh Intel is starting to gain some ground back. So amd is going to have to do something soon.

[stray portal]

I hope intel does have a comeback

[rigid fjord]

these 3 are the primary ones that would essentially save you around £120-160 equivalence

[stray portal]

Competition is good + i like blue

[gleaming rose]

I would too, but they got complacent and dug their own grave

[rigid fjord]

which is planed for proper 12c 24t/16c 32t single ccd'd cpu's

[rigid fjord]

not the first time nor last time intel did this

[wheat torrent]

I cant wait for crimson desert

[gloomy sleet]

terraria is better then these imo

it is only worth 10 quid though so fair

[sweet zinc]

Hiya, wondering how much difference a Ryzen 7 9800X3D would make in comparison to my current gaming rig. I've been thinking about buying a new CPU and was wondering if it's technically "worth" it, mainly for gaming c:

My current rig: 5080, i5-13600k, Z690-A Motherboard, 32GB RAM

[south arrow]

Would be a 50 fps jump at 1080 or so and a 20-30fps jump for 4k usually. But i wouldn't say its worth getting a new mobo, cpu, and or potentially ram

[hallow jasper]

Are you CPU limited at your resolution (that you didn't mention?)

[sweet zinc]

Sorry, I'm mainly on 1440p.

[rigid fjord]

quite a large jump overall

[south arrow]

If getting below 60 fps myte be worth it depending, user pref

[mortal venture]

another 3 to the collection

[rigid fjord]

should have avoided these ones

[mortal venture]

i got them for free

[south arrow]

Temp portable dvd storage drives not to shabby

Or some kinda on the go files that are stored elswhere primarly

[sweet zinc]

If I have DDr5-5600 RAM I don't think I would need to get better one then if I just replace my mobo no?

[south arrow]

It'll likely still work, just no garuntees itll work at xmp/expo and or its stability

[hallow jasper]

You need a new motherboard entirely if you're on Intel

[cosmic idol]

Real ones spin their disc drives by hand

[rigid fjord]

ideally yes, it would be better to get 6000 mt/s ram, but 5600's will work

[valid fiber]

240gb isn't that much

[rigid fjord]

real ones still make them from rocks 😉

[south arrow]

DJs the drives xD

[rigid fjord]

enough for an OS drive, capacity wise

[sweet zinc]

That of course yes, what would be a good mobo for the ryzen 9800x3d then?

[cosmic idol]

Sometimes I look at modern computing and genuinely wonder how tf we invented some stuff

[winter lantern]

Is this good

[sweet zinc]

with current prices id rather buy anything else lol

[cosmic idol]

https://tenor.com/view/basketball-flop-glitch-game-gif-18800785

[south arrow]

Needs i/o shield? Almost looked good till that part

[rigid fjord]

no matter what, you're swapping your mobo out

[sweet zinc]

Can't I just reuse the old ones I'm confused with these vague answers

[south arrow]

I to wonder what sparks would rec ❤️ not sure if he has preference vs just a thick heatsinked board

[winter lantern]

I thought it still worked fine without that

Actually wait it couldn't hook in

[plain cypress]

Huh

Mozzilla to turn into an AI browser?

[south arrow]

Is that the part where the hdmi and dp plug in? If so id worry about shorts or debree getting in

[winter lantern]

Thats what google said

[plain cypress]

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Mozilla-New-CEO-AI

[south arrow]

Or even the ports being compromised

[winter lantern]

You couldn't screw it in the pc

[plain cypress]

Even as a non Firefox user that just seems wrong

[winter lantern]

Is a 4080 for 700$ worth looking at

[south arrow]

Can't fight the cog ya know

There is no privacy just lowkey

[south arrow]

As good of a deal that it is. I wouldn't risk its

[plain cypress]

I don't even care about the privacy aspect

Have we seen any of these "AI" browsers actually take off

[spark dove]

if i cut the 5050 in half is it a 2525 noe?

[plain cypress]

There's a reason chrome/edge/safari are largely unchanged

[south arrow]

[hallow jasper]

probably 50+ that would handle that CPU just fine. Motherboard shopping comes down to I/O requirements and budget.

[south arrow]

Notes sparks just likes a thickkk board that works as needed but also good advice^

[south arrow]

[south arrow]

Yiss

[sweet zinc]

If I were to buy a ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-E, could I just re-use my current DDR5-5600 Ram sticks since they're UDIMM?

[stray portal]

I switched from brave to chrome

[hallow jasper]

Yes

[sweet zinc]

Would there be any complications/drawbacks?

[hallow jasper]

B650 so may or may not need a BIOS update when you get it, though thats easy with modern boards

so a non-issue. otherwise, no not really

[mortal venture]

for a router and nas it's good enough

[ebon marlin]

Aren't they using the AI that scraped ur entire computer to train their AI

Perplexity was it

Yeah it was Perplexity that did that

The only thing that worries me, is that my current G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5-5600 says on the OC-Profile, that its only compatible with Intel XMP 3.0.
So I'm worried that my new mobo won't be able to utilise them 😅

[hallow jasper]

why?

just enable the XMP profile

[left dove]

yeah itll work lol

[sweet zinc]

Aren't EXPO and XMP 2 different things? Sorry I'm really bad with techy stuff

[left dove]

interchangable pretty much

[azure topaz]

yes they are but are ultimately cross compatible

expo holds more data iirc, its unimportant

[left dove]

just enable the xmp/expo profile, things will work

oh wait

[left dove]

go into settings and clear cache and local storage for the play store, its workin fine for me

[sweet zinc]

haha alright, im guessing theres not a performance loss either for gaming specifically if I use XMP for an amd cpu

[azure topaz]

no

[left dove]

no

[azure topaz]

realistically most vendors dont go out of their way to fully program the SPD anyways or the board ignores past the primaries

[left dove]

literally all xmp/expo is is a little "file" on the ram itself saying "I can do these default speeds but I can also do these really fast ones!!" As long as the dimm like, fits, itll work

[azure topaz]

okay no but good enough

[left dove]

im still sick im trying

[azure topaz]

first part is good enough but you can definitely get incompatibilties on specific platforms on x dimm

b650 really didnt like 24 gigabit dimms at first

really both brands

[left dove]

ok nerd you're overcomplicating it for a non-techy person

[azure topaz]

thats something that could affect a non techy person

hey guys, I have a question. Currently I own Astral RTX 5090 and due to unstable amperage on my pins, I've tested several different cables and in total approx 30 times I plugged and unplugged while finding the proper good cable. My question is: Molex rated (the connector itself on the GPU side) it at 30 mating cycle. Should I concern about my GPU's health in that situation? I watched Jayz's cable testing but I guess he just cared on cable side, not on connector itself

[tulip sparrow]

I can understand hbm ending up in embedded systems as well

[ocean axle]

they named two things that are very different very similar

MI300X and MI300A

[azure topaz]

like industrial crap? idk

[void bronze]

Who wants to bet they’ll start shipping motherboards out with ddr4

[azure topaz]

i dont think youre seeing any custom hbm socs in your cnc controller

[tulip sparrow]

Ok so accelerator cards got it

[azure topaz]

stuff like that

or entire servers

although hbm has been tried on a couple consumer gpus that was cool

r9 nano my actual beloved

[ocean axle]

the MI300X is a dual-die behemoth of an SXM GPU based on CDNA3 (304CU total) with 192GB of HBM3
the Mi300A is the largest APU AMD has ever made, with 24 z4 cores and 228 CDNA3 CUs, oh and 128GB of HBM3 too

[tulip sparrow]

Is core ultra ddr5 only or is it like previous cores and in both ddr4 and ddr5?

[azure topaz]

d5

[left dove]

Oh fuck I forgot i had premium nexus mods

[void bronze]

I know what kinda of girl you are

[azure topaz]

see this typa crap

beeg beeg beeg stuff

basically invisible in consumer sector

[left dove]

I mod fallout mainly for building stuff

[void bronze]

👀

[azure topaz]

keyword mainly

[left dove]

but I wanna ucap far cry 6 cutscenes because watching 30fps on a 120hz panel is fucking torture

[ocean axle]

and other stuff, right?

[azure topaz]

they did say mainly

[carmine yew]

either or, whichever you prefer.
On the bottom is usually easier to put together

[left dove]

nah I don't fuck w/ the adult mods. I know people irl for that

[azure topaz]

i do find it strange

[ocean axle]

boooooo, gotta use the jpegs

[tulip sparrow]

I would love to replace the crappy realtek in both my laptop and desktop with Intel cards

[left dove]

I don't know if I'm allowed to say that I make the jpegs

[ocean axle]

fantastic, closed loop then

[void bronze]

what just that even mean

[left dove]

dw about it

[void bronze]

you "make" jpegs

[tulip sparrow]

My desktop is going to be a pain to do so

[ocean axle]

dont worry about it

[void bronze]

i made my windows look like linux mint

[tulip sparrow]

AMD goes with such shitty wifi specs it's terrible

[azure topaz]

i just pluig the bitch in

[left dove]

dude i sent the image of the convo from earlier to my special group and every single one said they're not fucking surprised

God dammit man

OMG YAY THIS MOD WORKS

im so happy rn

[void bronze]

fix your load order :3

[left dove]

like why the fuck would you limit in-engine cutscenes to 30fps when I'm running 100fps on average

[azure topaz]

if it doesnt work first try it wasnt meant to be

[left dove]

ubisoft stop being stupid pls

[void bronze]

you will use 30 fps

[left dove]

I can have all 255 plugins plus another 100~ for .esls and it'll start right up

I've been doin' this for a while now lol

[void bronze]

only 255

my current fo4 mod list is 1000_

[left dove]

255 is the .esm limit for the engine

255+ fallout4.esm

you get around it by using light plugins

[void bronze]

SHOUTOUT sandland fallout 4

[left dove]

using light plugins and unarchived data will get you more but at the sake of performance engine-wide

[daring scaffold]

dear lord lol

[kindred halo]

Is there any way to test monitor colour accuracy without the colorimeter

[left dove]

Is your phone decent?

[kindred halo]

Samsung A16, AMOLED Display

[left dove]

get it off of vivid if it is and just a/b compare

[latent pasture]

r5 5500 (which if mentioned magically summons the cult of "just buy 5600 even if its double the price") is still good enough for most things and can max out 5060ti/9060xt tier gpu
its good enough if u can find it cheap, which in a lot of places it is

[kindred halo]

One second gonna try to search through my settings for that

[void bronze]

Iphone 16 pro max gang

[azure topaz]

the solution to my ram troubles is....ddr4...

[kindred halo]

Okay it was on natural

[void bronze]

plus samsung s24-s24 pro gang

[azure topaz]

yep thank you for saving me the time

[daring scaffold]

The Ryzen 5 5500 is worse than the Ryzen 5 3600, just get that instead used

[kindred halo]

I'll try pulling up identical images of red, blue, and green

[daring scaffold]

good old DDR4 lol, gonna live forever

[kindred halo]

Both maximum brightness

[latent pasture]

and there it is

[daring scaffold]

not the 5600 lol

[latent pasture]

people will say literally anything to avoid 5500 even objectively wrong stuff (its slightly better than 3600 lol)

[daring scaffold]

the 5600 smokes it, but it is more expensive. The 3600 is cheaper, and still has a bigger L3 cache, and PCIE Gen 4

[daring scaffold]

its not, I would know 😂

[daring scaffold]

the 32mb L3 cache in the 3600 is what makes it so capable

[void bronze]

if the 5600 works for your games

[latent pasture]

the 5600 smokes it, if u pair it with 5090

[void bronze]

then its works fine

[daring scaffold]

no matter what it smokes it lol, as long as you're not GPU bottlenecked

[azure topaz]

then gets thermo nuclear bombed by outer ccx latency

[latent pasture]

the entire point of the video is that below like rx 9070 tier its basically the same

[daring scaffold]

increases 1% and 0.1% lows by a ton, and makes for an overall more stable experience

[latent pasture]

see that

[daring scaffold]

and yet it still outperforms...

[azure topaz]

5500 can use all 6 cores in games properly which helps as well for afformentioned lows vs the 3600

[daring scaffold]

Never seen one benchmark where the 5500 performs better, nor has it ever in my own experience. In some games it manages to perform on par with the 3600

[latent pasture]

this is their old testof all 3

[void bronze]

what about a ryzen 9 7900x

[azure topaz]

hey look i was right

[latent pasture]

wow gee look at the massive and significant advantage of 3600 over 5500

[daring scaffold]

literally not, the 1% lows are the exact same 😂

[void bronze]

but if it works for your uses and games then its for you

[south arrow]

Cleared cache and data and still cant use playstore search been such a trying day

[latent pasture]

watch them quickly pull out the "uhmm but in this 1 test in 1 game"

[void bronze]

its usually that simple

[daring scaffold]

and then there's the price difference...

[kindred halo]

@left dove At their highest respective brightness, my phone has a brighter blue than my monitor

[azure topaz]

i was saying that even though the 5500 has a disadvantage to the 3600 in X spec, the other advantage of ryzen 5000 makes up for it

[daring scaffold]

the 5500 is nearly always more expensive lol, idk why you would go for it over the 3600 🤷‍♂️

[daring scaffold]

what advantages? being on PCIE gen 3?

[kindred halo]

Lenovo ThinkVision 900p IPS monitor vs Samsung A16 1080p AMOLED Display

[azure topaz]

which also doesnt matter? 😭 i already said, being able to use all 6 cores without facing a severe latency hit

this offsets the cache issue

[void bronze]

You should buy a threadripper instead /s

[daring scaffold]

matters per GPU for sure, def don't use it with a 50 series 😂

[azure topaz]

multi tasking with games open care a lot more about that instead

[latent pasture]

so you have all knowledge of the millions of stores on all 200+ countries on earth and the health of the used market in these areas too?

[azure topaz]

as long as the card isnt x4 it will be ifne, doesnt matter what gen, unless intel arc and your board doesnt have rebar or something

[daring scaffold]

agreed, everyone should just get threadrippers

[daring scaffold]

pretty much!

[azure topaz]

bold statement

avg price of 5500 vs 3600 in idk fucking egypt

[daring scaffold]

A satirical answer to a satirical question

tit for tat per se

[latent pasture]

its not a satirical question lol

[thorn pewter]

Abt the same

[azure topaz]

buy 5500 👍

[latent pasture]

you claim that everywhere at all times 5500 is never worth it bc 3600 is cheaper

[grizzled frost]

It was a rhetorical question, not a satirical one

[daring scaffold]

Would still assume that the 5500 is more expensive

[azure topaz]

.

👍

[thorn pewter]

Yes

[latent pasture]

i can walk into my local mall and get a 5500 for cheap like $90 converted bc stores sell current and last gen
meanwhile 3600 is gone long ago

[azure topaz]

have witnessed first hand a 3600 vs a shittier ryzen 5000 chip like the various apus

in cpu heavy tasks or multitasking with a game open the ryzen 5000 chip always won

[thorn pewter]

Tbh 5950x are cheap nowdays

[azure topaz]

tarkov on a 5500 vs 3600 was like +20 fps

i actually complained about it here

[daring scaffold]

I have also done so, and the 5500 always lost for me

[thorn pewter]

The only cpu that rlly should be boughton am4 its like 200 usd

[daring scaffold]

By like 5fps lol, not a significant margin

[azure topaz]

(it was a 5700G, same thing at least for our talks)

[daring scaffold]

Just get the 5800X3D everybody

[azure topaz]

tarkov is unity based and sucks at using more than ~4 cores really anyways

[thorn pewter]

5700g was rlly great during the gpu shortage

[azure topaz]

300$, id rather jump off a bridge with a rope necklace

[thorn pewter]

No

[void bronze]

first problem, unity

[daring scaffold]

5800X3D is super good and really chip, idk why anyone wouldn't go for it

[grizzled frost]

are you being intentionally obtuse?

[azure topaz]

something something ram doesnt matter

just wait let it cook

[sleek ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/thriller-michael-jackson-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-5577709

[daring scaffold]

No, I am being intentionally concave

[grizzled frost]

Yay! someone who justifies my purchase of ddr3!

[azure topaz]

my fucking mind is blown

[latent pasture]

5500 has the strange ability to bring out the worst most bs arguments just to make people avoid using it even if it is a well priced option

[azure topaz]

i thought it was still 300$

[grizzled frost]

that isn’t even the opposite of obtuse…

acute would be

[azure topaz]

its not even 300$ anymore its just ripping you off

[daring scaffold]

I have one sitting in a ROG B550 somewhere in my stock, idk

[azure topaz]

i have a 13900KS sitting in its box

[thorn pewter]

A 100 usd b550 mobo with a 200 5950x with 32 gifs of ram and 2080ti or 3080ti orr smthn is all you really need and maybe a 1 or two tb ssd

[azure topaz]

well, wafer

[daring scaffold]

it is still an adjective in geometric terms

[void bronze]

oh my cpu is 200-290

[daring scaffold]

3090 my goat

[void bronze]

im sad now

[daring scaffold]

Have one of those as well

[void bronze]

4080 my beloved <3

[sleek ibex]

So the answer is yes

[daring scaffold]

like that as well

[grizzled frost]

concave is mainly a 3d geometry descriptor, where acute/obtuse is primarily for 2d geometry and the isolation of individual angles of a 3d geometric objects

[void bronze]

300 funny frames in black mesa my beloved

Making yourself acting like a smart ass people will treat you like a smart ass aswell

[sleek ibex]

Little experience, massive overconfidence is a disease

[thorn pewter]

I doubt he is even gen z

[grizzled frost]

as someone in gen z, i completely agree

what prescription is that?

[azure topaz]

[daring scaffold]

Bold of you to assume my experience 😂

[void bronze]

you are giving alpha wolf energy and thats not a good thing

[grizzled frost]

It's not an assumption if you make it abundantly obvious

[daring scaffold]

Don't think I was really acting like one, but ok lol

[daring scaffold]

Abundantly obvious to whom I also deem unexperienced? Don't value that all to much

[grizzled frost]

this is the definition of being a smartass

[daring scaffold]

call me obtuse, I deem myself concave. Life goes on 😂

[thorn pewter]

I need to pee

Fuck ass traffic is taking too long

[void bronze]

I deem you annoying

[daring scaffold]

I deem you a jolly elf

[sleek ibex]

People with that behaviour are unhireable/blacklisted or will get sacked in less than a months time in the IT/tech field

I like helping people with IT even though I’m clueless sometimes :D

[grizzled frost]

as someone who works in both customer service and tech, they're hated in every industry, don't you worry

also side note, i bet apple is still selling their stuff at 1 USD = 1 EUR price, or worse

[daring scaffold]

Knowing Apple, I wouldn't be surprised

yes but i was saying that as to inform you that it is still bad

350 euro is basically the same prices as it is here

[daring scaffold]

Indeed, that Jolly Elf would have done well with some. Glad to see we are on the same page 🙃

[grizzled frost]

It's the prevalence of gentle parenting, or lack of parenting entirely that has led us to where we are now

[ocean axle]

worse, at least for the base m4 mac mini
$599 (US)
699€ (EUR [.de])

[sleek ibex]

You only have a 20 percent chance to hit(

You gotta up your perception

[sleek ibex]

Young folks won't last a week if they had to live like I did

[brave brook]

699 EUR with VAT = 582.5 EUR without VAT = 684.49 USD price without sales tax

[ocean axle]

yea, so, still $85 more, before tax

but, are there tariffs too?

[daring scaffold]

You have an anime girl as your PFP and are talking about parenting strats in a random tech server, obviously it wasn't too traumatizing (or maybe it was lol, that might explain more)

Very nice

[grizzled frost]

2x64 udimms didn't exist when i bought it

I have a friend who bought 960GB of DDR5 a couple days ago

10 96GB kits

[grizzled frost]

okay?

[void bronze]

Why do I not believe that

[grizzled frost]

large amounts of udimms don't really get me excited

128gb rdimms or bust

[brave brook]

more importantly

[sour remnant]

I got a deal looking back

I didn’t need 64gb cuz it’s only gaming but I needed the 7950X and I got it discounted

for context, here is 4x48GB kits

[grizzled frost]

4 ranks per channel is rough

[brave brook]

not sure why 4x48GB is cheaper than 4x32 at same speed

[sleek ibex]

I could make some good amount of dough with the memory modules I have

[brave brook]

unless 'we got the 192GB kit sooner than the 128GB kit, so it is cheaper'

[brave brook]

i got around 700GB, but mostly DDR4

i mean with prices that high it doesn't matter which one is cheaper

[ocean axle]

the DDR5 kits listed there are all in-use in my desktops, so, can't sell them

i'm curious what people are willing to pay for them on the used market

[ocean axle]

i got that 128GB ddr5 kit for $300 right before prices went weeeeeeee

[sleek ibex]

Same with my Klevv and Ripjaws 6400 CL32 kits

Ripjaws DDR5 is in my Intel system and Klevv in AM5 system

[ocean axle]

the 64GB DDR4 DIMMs i have go for ~$300/stick last i checked

I used to sell computers at best buy and circuit city.

"I need a hard drive."

I show customers a hard drive

"That's not what I need. I need a hard drive."

*points at label" That IS a hard drive.

"No I need a hard drive!"

we leave the area

Customer: Points at a computer "That! I need a hard drive!"

[grizzled frost]

[azure topaz]

its a great deal i just have no use for a laptop

i dont get it. do people not look at their local market to see what things are selling for?

[rigid fjord]

the tech industry also

[azure topaz]

we got a 1070ti strix for 75$ and a 1070 non ti strix for 100 all within a couple days of eachother

[topaz shale]

my local market is full of people smoking crack on prices

[azure topaz]

theres no way you dont see that 75$ 1070ti

why did you put your non ti for 100

[carmine yew]

I just got asked today

"Can you get me a list of the phone calls I made from my desk phone in 2023?"

[azure topaz]

NO man

[clear canyon]

YES man

[azure topaz]

you do it then

[clear canyon]

You do it

[azure topaz]

nuhuhuh

[rigid fjord]

unless you've got a logging system setup, isn't that basically only available via service provider?

[carmine yew]

and most service providers don't log that far back

DID YOU DRINK MY MOUNTAIN DEW

[clear canyon]

And i enjoyed every last drop

[latent gull]

The amount of people that still think, in 2025, that the monitor IS the computer is baffling to me

[rigid fjord]

reminds me of one of those reddit stories about a certain company and a member of management

[latent gull]

No idea. But I can tell you from experience “can you press the power button on the computer” “okay now it’s orange”

[carmine yew]

"Where is the enter key?"

[hallow jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/homer-any-key-wheres-the-key-gif-12793542

[carmine yew]

if they'd just said "Press a key"

People would either hit a random key, or the A key. Still meeting the requirements.

[azure topaz]

would be funny if they really meant the A key

[carmine yew]

that'd be top tier code trolling

[azure topaz]

the key i choose is power button

[hallow jasper]

yeah but most of us aren't as dumb as Homer.

..most of us

[azure topaz]

no need to call me out

wait this is tc1 nevermind

[carmine yew]

are you sure.

Are you REALLY sure?

[azure topaz]

its the rest of them

homer is a nuclear scientist i dont think theyd even let me into the regional office

[hallow jasper]

you know, the recent Smarter Every Day (which was fantastic) hits even harder now that I make the Homer connection

[carmine yew]

90% of people I help on computers DO NOT USE THE SHIFT KEY

If they need a capital letter, they CAPS LOCK <letter> CAPSLOCK

Every single fucking time.

When did they stop teaching people to use the fucking shift key?

[sleek ibex]

I'm amazed that Springfield hasn't experienced a Chernobyl

[azure topaz]

my typing teature throughout elementary and 6th grade (literally k-6th yes) removed capslock from the keyboards

[carmine yew]

They've covered it.
Homer really doesn't have any control of anything in his office.

[azure topaz]

saved quite the lot of us from that

[hallow jasper]

Homer saved them

[peak swan]

I made a spicy pillow on accident
I had a Galaxy S3 in download mode, charging with a way too under spec (in capacity) battery and well uhh spicy now

[azure topaz]

honestly weird at all i was in a typing class literally all of elementary school but they prepared me for my furure;shitposting on discord

[pure lintel]

Hey, Should I put the both fans on the right side and at the same height level?

[carmine yew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPCrq2mtW7w

[rigid fjord]

about a decade ago, or some to lazy to remember that the shift key is for temporary use

[azure topaz]

musta been type to learn 4 based off timeframe and memory

[true stirrup]

The one on the left is usually placed on the right side of the heatsink
And no they don't have to be the same height level

[carmine yew]

none of the people doing it are young enough for that to apply

[rigid fjord]

some of them are old enough to forget shit tbf

[pure lintel]

Thank you, was wondering that, should i just keep the right fan up a bit because of the ram and then the left just at normal height?

[carmine yew]

holy shit lol

[azure topaz]

youd be surprised how many people i delt with who have only used a computer ever at the company

[latent gull]

I don’t understand this because then what happens when they need &$?

[azure topaz]

is that a p8h77 le v

no its not even asus man im tired

[carmine yew]

i assume they know that the shift key does it? But IDK

[hallow jasper]

so like, is the whole top section just for the PSU

[azure topaz]

oh my god its a bomb

[hallow jasper]

its an odd layout

[azure topaz]

they tried to sneak the thermaltake smart white in there oh my

really almost slipped by me

[carmine yew]

holy shit @rigid fjord

[true stirrup]

Yeah that's fine
It's how I have it set up as well

[hallow jasper]

the single rear intake and the triple bottom exhaust is a choice

[peak swan]

Worth it just for the ram bruh

[azure topaz]

man jokes are only funny if theyre true

[carmine yew]

DDR3? lol

[azure topaz]

my point exactly

[peak swan]

Yeah, ddr3 is also expensive now

[azure topaz]

while not worthless anymore its still like, cheaper than dirt

[azure topaz]

we're using expensive lightly here, yes?

[peak swan]

You know
Probably better than my fsp 400w psu from idek when

[azure topaz]

4GB sticks are like 6$ each on ebay

[peak swan]

Wait, ddr3 dropped again

[azure topaz]

no it didnt

[carmine yew]

hahahahahaha

[azure topaz]

thats more expensive than its been its just still worthless

[peak swan]

I swear i started seeing 4gb sticks at 20 bucks each

[azure topaz]

you lookin in the wrong alleyways

[peak swan]

I mean
The price is right

[azure topaz]

makes some noise when powered on

i wonder what the culprit could be

the green label bomb or 120mm bomb

[carmine yew]

DDR3 ain't expensive

[hexed tapir]

Oh I love that model of the i3!

[rigid fjord]

yes, oh YES, the things you could do with this

[peak swan]

Welp
Imma wait and see in a month if expensive lol

[azure topaz]

simply dont buy ddr3

my best advice for you

[peak swan]

I have

Like a pile of ddr3

[carmine yew]

.... what?

[hexed tapir]

Sled!

[carmine yew]

it's only 12" wide

[azure topaz]

youre telling me you dont need this?

this is a household must have!

[carmine yew]

PEEL FART
because of course there was:
https://youtu.be/s29T_sIf1fs?t=560

[azure topaz]

right next to my 3 bent tin cans

[rigid fjord]

perfect to put a chair on and go downhill on like a case of "jackass"

[peak swan]

I mean like
Not the worst deal ig

Loll
Soomth

[rigid fjord]

if you got this + it's enclosure, what would you do with it?

[carmine yew]

other than spend weeks figuring out how to fix it?

[hexed tapir]

20,000mah damn

[peak swan]

I very much doubt it

[hexed tapir]

It's like double of the newest iPad

[azure topaz]

i do too, considering theyre showing ios

[peak swan]

I'm like pretty sure that thing was 250 bucks

[azure topaz]

my bad, some weird freak combo

[hexed tapir]

With 22gb of ram and 2tb of storage that alone is $250, lmao wonder what you really get

You should buy it and find out Lilly

[azure topaz]

i concur

[peak swan]

I mean
Knowing clones pretty well, it's either a mediatek mt6735 or a helio p22
And then 3 or 4gb ram, 32 to 128gb storage and android 10 ish

[peak swan]

Can't afford it lol

[rigid fjord]

feels like it would be more a strip down, and swap out the main board instead kind of thing, but the size of bed it has, would be fun to print on

[ashen hearth]

Installing w11 and I have a usb with these WiFi drivers but when I select it from the installation point I don't see any. I can't see any inf file

[rigid fjord]

because it's in the subfolder

[mint umbra]

my pc running sluggish man

guess I should reinstall windows

[brazen mica]

On my monitor that I’ve had for about a year now a new thing just popped up where it looks like there is “oil spill” looking things on my screen

Never happened to me before

[ashen hearth]

I tried this folder but after selecting the it nothing happens, I'm kinda lost maybe I have too download some other thing first like amd chipset drivers?

[glossy veldt]

wtf is this shit

[rigid fjord]

wifi is separate from the chipset, it's also separate from the lan drivers

[brazen mica]

Sorry

[glossy veldt]

only a year?

[brazen mica]

Yea

[ashen hearth]

This is all I found in every folder

[glossy veldt]

does it not go away when you restart your pc

[brazen mica]

No

[glossy veldt]

or if you leave your monitor plugged off for some minutes then plug it back in

[brazen mica]

It’s not this particular monitor I’ve tried it in my home. Monitor my school one and the one in my local library and they all do the same.

[ashen hearth]

No inf files at all in any folder, really strange

[glossy veldt]

oh and what are you connecting to the monitor, a laptop?

what cable r u even using? i don't know any of that

[brazen mica]

I’m connecting a laptop to a monitor and on the laptop screen it looks fine

HDMI

[glossy veldt]

well, what model would your laptop be, a photo of it would also help

if it's screen mirroring some issues with the scaling can appear

[carmine yew]

supporting multi-head, etc? would be awesome

[brazen mica]

And it applies to anything not just games

[glossy veldt]

do you see the same image on both the laptop screen and your monitor

or is it two separate desktops

[brazen mica]

It’s the same image

[glossy veldt]

ok do this real quick

this is your keyboard

i assume you're on windows 10/11

[brazen mica]

11

[glossy veldt]

press FN and F7

[brazen mica]

And my laptop, keyboard doesn’t work

[glossy veldt]

oh...

press Windows + P

should open up this menu

[brazen mica]

Yep

[glossy veldt]

try second screen only

or extend

[glossy veldt]

weird

press Windows + P twice

then enter

[brazen mica]

It got rid of it, but the gamma is super high

[rigid fjord]

yup

[glossy veldt]

are you on second screen only or extend

i really don't know why that happens ngl

you told me the keyboard doesn't work
