Second only

[glossy veldt]

well try configuring the gamma on your monitor's settings or rtx settings/panel whatever it's called

or nvidia control panel

if the original issue persists go to #1027757333117415424

[brazen mica]

Ok thanks for the help

[remote ether]

what keyboard is a good one that is decent for gaming and normal use that is 75 percent

my aula f75 broke

[left dove]

did you rage on it

[remote ether]

nah

[left dove]

UH HUH

[remote ether]

it just started acting wierd

[left dove]

[remote ether]

the stuff is hella delayed and doesnt register half the time

[left dove]

God I hate this

[ocean axle]

the screenshots of a photo are worse IMO

[brazen mica]

What is that?

[left dove]

like discord is RIGHT THERE

dont take pics of your monitor if the monitor has access to FUCKING DISCORD

[ocean axle]

at least when taking a picture of it, it gets it onto a different device

[left dove]

[ocean axle]

but the screenshots of photos, that doesnt even change which device its on

[left dove]

I'm going to repeatedly meow, I swear to christ

[tired bear]

i do it intentionaly to enshitify the photo and remove potential private metadata like gps location

[ocean axle]

to do that (remove metadata), i paste into paint, and then copy from that

so, its got a pixel-buffer, and nothing else

also, discord processes that out now

[tired bear]

i know but not all platforms do

[hexed tapir]

A feature we had since the 1980s

[ocean axle]

i also see this shit commonly on ebay/craigslist/fbm, not so much discord

[hexed tapir]

Hold on I need to prep the spray bottle

k I'm ready

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/spray-bottle-cat-spray-bottle-spray-bottle-meme-tiktok-gif-25591053

[brazen mica]

I see

[left dove]

"I see" 😭

[tired bear]

i see

[left dove]

fuck, man

[hexed tapir]

Did you stub your toe?

[left dove]

Something like that

[ashen hearth]

Apparently I don't know which drivers are needed

[tired bear]

lmao, my friend and I field crafted a starlink pole mount today

some scrap metal ftw

[brazen mica]

Quick question is there a way to turn down gamma in HDR mode?

[grizzled frost]

in what thing’s HDR mode

monitors have HDR modes, windows has an hdr mode, apps have hdr modes, etc

[brazen mica]

Goaded character from avatar

Both windows and my monitor

[grizzled frost]

windows hdr just universally sucks

[jaunty apex]

There's something about seeing silicon fabs that just makes me want to do a massive automation line in minecraft

[tired bear]

idk, havent had issues recently with win hdr, 1y ago it was kinda horrible

[tacit wave]

What would be some good websites for technews?

Like top 5

[latent gull]

Google.com

[jaunty apex]

Think bro wants an RSS feed

[tacit wave]

Sum like that

[jaunty apex]

Ars Technica, toms hardware.. What branch of tech otherwise?

[hexed tapir]

Any oled

[swift stream]

i used to be such a fat ahh chud 🥀

[craggy dove]

hello, why would a gpu be at 100% usage under non heavy loads? im just watching a vid

it has crashed like 4 times in 10 minutes while watching a vid

[void bronze]

We need to know PSU specs and how many watts it’s pulling

[ocean axle]

its not actually, task manager lies

[void bronze]

Or that

[ocean axle]

thats probably 100% decoder active time

[ocean axle]

this, no idea though

[swift stream]

is this a good psu?

[ocean axle]

consult the list

[swift stream]

found it for 80 USD and scored B- on SPL

[void bronze]

Or you could google the product

[swift stream]

i decided to get this mobo with it

was debating about getting x870-a but most features aren't really needed or worry heavily about

[void bronze]

[onyx ember]

Did I hit the silicon lottery? Just installed this R7 9700x and its numbers seem insane with this cheep air cooler and budget $50 case..... and too many fans lol..

[steel umbra]

Thermaltake is known for being sketchy

Like swapping out known psu internals for a downgrade whilst keeping the 80+ cert

[stray portal]

hmm

[steel umbra]

80 usd isnt very good for a B- 750w tier anyways

[craggy dove]

if it was the psu, the pc wouldve turned off right?

[ocean axle]

not necessarily

[jovial swan]

Is buying a old optiplex (4th to 7th gen Intel) and slapping a RX 400/500/6400 still worth doing in 2025/2026?, i wanna make a light gaming pc for my stepdad, one that can play
Farcry 1-4
Factorio?(Idk)
Command & conquer
Half Life series
CS2?

My budget is very tight,

[cold skiff]

IIRC you want 8th gen for windows 11

[carmine yew]

don't buy older than 8th gen

or Ryzen 3000

[cold skiff]

If you didn’t mention cs2 I’d say sure for Linux. Or you can use steamOS if that’s the only competitive game he’s going to play

Just bear in mind if you go this build and steamOS route it’s not officially supported for any desktop hardware

[jovial swan]

Hes not a competitive gamer, his current pc broke down 9 years ago and he hasnt played on pc since then as he doesnt have alot of money

[cold skiff]

Worth exploring steamOS on a desktop if CS2 is all he plays and you have no budget for higher. Would strongly recommend looking at 8th gen and higher

[carmine yew]

your best bet is to keep an eye out on FBM or similar, look for a ryzen 3000 or Intel 8th/9th gen that someone's offloading cheap.

I've seen them in the 200-300$ range with a GTX 1070ish range GPU

[jovial swan]

He doesnt play CS2 alot, its a game i wanna introduce to him possibly.

He plays alot of command and conquer, red alert among other games.

[cold skiff]

IIRC red alert is a pain to play on modern hardware

[jovial swan]

I have been looking for a Ryzen 3000 mini pc, hp prodesk akin.

[carmine yew]

if you remove CS2 as a requirement, Linux (PopOS or something equally easy) is an option.

[carmine yew]

look for a used gaming PC someone built, 10x easier to fix when something goes wrong

[jovial swan]

Is this a worth while machine?

[cold skiff]

January will be a lot of used PCs. So cheaper

[jovial swan]

Its really cheap, i would just have to buy more ram

[cold skiff]

Just had Black Friday then Christmas. January is bargain season

[carmine yew]

how much

[jovial swan]

1199 dkk. Think its 200 euros

[cold skiff]

Worth it

[carmine yew]

at 200 euro that's pretty solid

[cold skiff]

It’s approx £150. I’d snap it up

[jovial swan]

Its stretches my budget tho almost to the Brink, i suppose it would be the best i could get though

[carmine yew]

fuuuuuck

160 euro equiv? hells yeah, grab it

[jovial swan]

Its this thing though

Its a pre-built,

[carmine yew]

1. Make sure it's got a SSD as a boot drive.
2. Add 8GB RAM to it to make 16gb

[carmine yew]

at the price, you'll have a super hard time beating it

[cold skiff]

For £150. You can’t complain.

[carmine yew]

That will run Win11 natively, so that's perfect

[jovial swan]

Fair,

I just wrote to the seller, apparently a bidding war is happening and its current bid is at 1899 dkk :/

Fack

[carmine yew]

well, fuck

[jovial swan]

My budget is 1200 maximum,

[cold skiff]

Tell him that it will make an old man happy

[carmine yew]

offer him the 1200 in cash

[cold skiff]

And say you can pick it up first thing in the morning.

[void bronze]

offer him a kiss

[cold skiff]

I’d say right now but it’s like midnight for you

Unless he’s open to that. 1200 smackers at 12-1am

Not a bad way to sell

[jovial swan]

In the meantime ill look into other machines,

[ivory mountain]

just rob him

🔥

[jovial swan]

I live fairly close, but i dont own a car. Ill see if he replies.

[jovial swan]

[cold skiff]

Good old fashioned arms and legs

God gave you them. Don’t need no car.

[jovial swan]

You want me to walk 68 km? With a pc

[cold skiff]

You said close

[jovial swan]

I may be a Infantrymen but i dont walk that far xd

[cold skiff]

40miles is not close

[jovial swan]

Train close, relatively close.

[cold skiff]

That’s literally the width of your country at the land border

[jovial swan]

Its 34 km, i said 68 cuz ,34+34

Hows this thing

Its Vega 11 in that no?

[cold skiff]

Not as good

Cs2 would struggle a bit

But playable

[ebon marlin]

With but 🍑

[jovial swan]

Wb the other games like command and conquer remastered, or far cry 1 to 3?

[hexed tapir]

4 core R5

[jovial swan]

Oh god its a quad core

[cold skiff]

They’ll run easily

[hexed tapir]

Yeah allot of the older Ryzen 5 cpus with beefy apus are 4 core

[ionic peak]

Squad core

[void bronze]

Squid core

[cold skiff]

We have people gaming on quad core right now

12100f iirc

[ionic peak]

Giga chad still

2 core is a sign

1 core is ultimate cpu

[cold skiff]

Intel would do it

[jovial swan]

Oh

[hexed tapir]

That has good fast hard working cores

R5 3500u is slow lazy cores in comparison

[jovial swan]

I gotta find a machine for hosting minecraft server aswell lol, next month will be fun,

[ionic peak]

2 week phase?

[jovial swan]

Might take my first trip out for Scandinavia on my own in middle January, so will go looking for stuff in Germany lol.

[jovial swan]

Nah, a small on and off server type of deal,

[ionic peak]

Pls be very prepared

[jovial swan]

I will get modded mc server with friends, already for 3 buddys in on the project

[cold skiff]

He’s a Viking

[ionic peak]

From phone?

[cold skiff]

He was born for that life.

[jovial swan]

What?

[ionic peak]

Some hosting people let you start server over phone

[jovial swan]

If i was a Viking im the most genetically fucked one, considering i have heart problems, lung problems, and a blood clotting disorder

[ionic peak]

App

[jovial swan]

Im so confused. I never talked about phone?

[jovial swan]

On top of this i am only 19

[ionic peak]

But hosting a on and off server

Like mb its usefull

But not then dont

[cold skiff]

Vikings didn’t live long but I think that’s for other reasons

[ionic peak]

I want snow

[jovial swan]

Indeed.

[craggy cove]

no conscription tho

[jovial swan]

I sadly couldnt get conscripted. So i serve the home Guard instead.

[craggy cove]

mandatory service is so fun, you get to drive a truck

ofc it depends on the branch

(choose logistics if you want it easy)

[jovial swan]

Might be a bit old but someones selling this machine for around 39 euros, just need a SSD and a low profile GPU of some kind and it be good. Maybe more ram too

[cold skiff]

It’s ewaste

[jovial swan]

I am in support & training platoon now, was sig-int for a while.

[valid laurel]

what monitor is better ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACDNG 27" OLED QHD 360Hz or the samsung odyssey oled g8 32 inch 4k 240hz

[jovial swan]

Maybe so, but it seems to be interesting,

Is it really like mandatory to use Windows 11 now?, even if you just want something to game on every now and then,

[craggy cove]

thats not a good price for what it is

[night delta]

Sit rep, I cleaned everything (apart from that sticker residue idk how to deal with that) and this free PC is looking gooooood

[craggy cove]

proprietary sff severely limits your gpu choice, the ram is pitiful and theres no storage

[jovial swan]

Its 300 kroner.

[craggy cove]

39 eur, here atleast thats pretty horrible

[jovial swan]

Some GPUs should still work tho no?, unless its a 75 watt then i can understand

[jovial swan]

Where is here?

[craggy cove]

10.75€ in estonia

exact same thing

[jovial swan]

God damn

[craggy cove]

cpu is like 5€ by itself, and every other piece is proprietary poo

[jovial swan]

Its got a 255 watt that one i found

[jovial swan]

Do you have tradera in estonia?,

[craggy cove]

nope

[ivory mountain]

This other server im in just makes me like the LTT server even more

[ocean axle]

they're right though

you shouldn't blanket recommend a brand, any brand

[wispy spindle]

If you're reading this, you're tall and nonchalant

[rose stream]

Fair point.

[ivory mountain]

I was referring to a few aios before this, and said thermalright has a solid few options, then gave the models

[ocean axle]

always recommend a product and maybe product line
any brand can make a cheap and shit product
any brand can make a great product
those can be the same brand

Didn’t you ask this last week

[valid laurel]

no, different monitors

and those monitors i asked last week was for my friend whos looking for a monitor

[cold skiff]

Well you’re asking about 2 different sizes and resolutions

Whichever is your preference tbh

[valid laurel]

k, fe

well i would be using the monitor for gaming and creative work

[void bronze]

if you have the cash

OLED cool stuff

[cold skiff]

As long as you have a beefy gpu go 4k

if want more working space

widescreen or triple monitors

Toughpower GT has generally favorable reviews, and comes with 5 year warranty as well (at least on lower-medium voltage models)

[swift stream]

[swift stream]

i trust them more than my old segotep PSU that was rated E tier

[valid laurel]

with the pc build i'm building in january, i was going to get 64gb of ram due to my needs, but seeing the prices of ram currently, I think I might just get 32gb of ram and then upgrade when the ram prices get better as i'm not overly fond of buying a ram kit the same price as the cpu i'm getting (the Ryzen 9 9950x3D), do you guys think thats a smart choice??

[void bronze]

32gb is gonna be expensive too

[valid laurel]

but not as expensive, last i checjed it was like £200-£300

[void bronze]

jesus

If you can then go for it

[valid laurel]

64gb last i checked was £500 or more

[void bronze]

quick af before they suddenly go up by %20 or whatever

[valid laurel]

won't be able to buy until january 12th

[void bronze]

.....

ouch

[valid laurel]

yh fuck my life

[cold skiff]

Good luck below 300 for something that’s not pure garbage

[cold skiff]

Scan buy now pay in 6 months is like 250 and you get 0% interest free. Just pay it off in Jan

[void bronze]

i mean yes but thats iffy

[cold skiff]

Not at all

It pisses credit companies off but no harm to you. Like I mean it really pisses them off.. but it’s a great consumer tool

[valid laurel]

oh really?

i'll have to check pcpp

[cold skiff]

Yeah

Just remember to agree or say you won’t pay it off within 3 months otherwise they decline the credit

No harm for you to pay it off before. Just credit companies have to look responsible so don’t want investigated when people pay off quick

[valid laurel]

my credit ain't great as i'm only 19, my score is like 520

[cold skiff]

Depends who they use. Probably not someone amazing so, always worth a try

[valid laurel]

hows this ram kit??

although i found a ram kit for 300 but it's on amazon

does amazon provide that??

@cold skiff

[cold skiff]

Credit card option iirc for Amazon

Probably also introductory discount for it still also

[valid laurel]

i can apply for a barclays 0 interest pay monthly for 3 months

but idk if i would pass the check for barclays

[valid laurel]

also is this a good ram kit??

[cold skiff]

Perfectly fine

[valid laurel]

or can apply for klarna with this

[cold skiff]

Oddly it was on the more expensive side before the ram increase

[valid laurel]

lol

[cold skiff]

Any of them do

[gleaming rose]

does anyone have any fragrance suggestions

[empty quartz]

Fact: more megapixels ≠ better

[valid laurel]

which one would you say would be better to get?

[cold skiff]

I’d personally go for the team group. Because of low profile and it’s not Corsair

I got Corsair and I can’t tune it as hard as I want to 😭😂

[empty quartz]

Why the fuck would you finance ram

[cold skiff]

She can get it now instead of 3 weeks time and pay it off within 0% extra to pay

It’s like a free advance

[valid laurel]

and due to the ram crisis it makes for sense

[empty quartz]

Does she make money from it

[valid laurel]

wdym??

[empty quartz]

Its only a good idea to finance when you’re actually making money from the thing

[valid laurel]

i'm getting it now before it increases

[cold skiff]

If ram prices go up. She wins

[steel oar]

Welcome to the DamVan Webpage

This is a project HTML site that I am working on with a couple of buddies, nothing crazy, just wanted opinions on our code

https://damvan.ca/

Please feel free to lmk what we could improve on with this

[cold skiff]

If they don’t. She won’t lose given the current market

[valid laurel]

exactly

[empty quartz]

Just have some patience its going to go down

[valid laurel]

like by 2027

[empty quartz]

Its not going to be like the gpu crisis

[cold skiff]

That’s what they said about the housing market in the 90s

[empty quartz]

The housing market didnt have an ai bubble

[valid laurel]

ok but i'm building in january, are you telling me you have an advance knowledge of the ram market that you know itll go down by then

[empty quartz]

go on the second hand market

[valid laurel]

also its gonna get worse before it gets better

[valid laurel]

or i can get a brand new one now for not a too bad of a price but i would just have to pay monthly for it

[empty quartz]

Thats a horrible price

[cold skiff]

In today’s market that’s a good price

[valid laurel]

for the current market thats good

[cold skiff]

People have to remember that

It’s not like 6 months ago when you could get it for £120

[blissful citrus]

I mean as long as you aren't paying a boatload of interest it may as well be a good price lol

[valid laurel]

yes its a horrible price, but currently its good for the current market

[valid laurel]

0 interest

[cold skiff]

My parents would say 500k for a house is a fucking awful deal because they bought theirs for 20k 30 years ago

[valid laurel]

its 3 monthly payments

[cold skiff]

And ya can just pay it off when ya want in full

Klarna is like a £5 or £10 fee

[blissful citrus]

the heck
how does the financing company make money

[valid laurel]

idfk but who cares

[blissful citrus]

oh okay

I was about to say
0% interest sounds sus

[cold skiff]

They borrow from someone else at a cheaper rate to what they currently hold on profile

It gets complicated after that

So they make money because they’re charging others more. And they wouldn’t have the business otherwise to make that money

0% is profitable if you have a large portfolio. Thats why few credit companies do it and they need the payment in full to ever make money, basically.

[cold skiff]

Only if you pay early. She makes 3 payments on their schedule and it’s fully 0%

[vague glacier]

[valid laurel]

talking about buying ram

[valid laurel]

so just checking before i buy, is this ram kit good???? @cold skiff

[swift stream]

i got a toughpower model which are usually higher praised than smart series, usually due to better capacitors and build quality,

[cold skiff]

It looks okay.

[valid laurel]

for same price on same website i can get the Patriot Viper Venom 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory

the other one is 6400 cl32

[cold skiff]

Its preference again

If it’s the same price I’d choose team group.

Patriot was king of lowest cost for so long tbh

[valid laurel]

yes but can't do klarna with that, only barcalys, which i probably cant do

[cold skiff]

Patriot will work fine

[valid laurel]

i could try the barlcays

[cold skiff]

It’s hard to fuck up with ram

[valid laurel]

but with klarna i am able to do

so is barlclays worth a try or should i get with what i know???

[cold skiff]

Go with what you know tbh

Can’t make that decision for you really but imma bloke

when I built my new desk I moved my PC from the floor and put it on the desk without the side panel sitting on top of an speaker amp

(I do use the speaker amp btw my desk is tall as shit and I have tower speakers under it)

it'd look ugly if I moved it now since I drilled a 6" hole into the corner its in and its where the trim meets and doesn't look so good

[buoyant bridge]

take it off
sit it on the floor behind a cabinet so its out of the way

But then it’s still behind cabinet

[rigid fjord]

#1106613567966429224 make a post there and state what it's needed for, and don't bother relinking the forum post

[rigid fjord]

amazon also does a pay in 5 on many electronical stuff, without you going for a credit card/loan

[rigid fjord]

when you build your desk, why not make the pc part of the desk?

[spring latch]

and yes it is using 9MB out of 2GB of RAM

should check if this works on real hardware

[rigid fjord]

scan is just basically corsair only for ram, no beuno

Should I get a 5070ti or is there a better option for that price range

[grizzled frost]

5070ti or 9070xt

kind of depends on regional pricing

[south arrow]

More or less

[main snow]

Would the 9070xt pair better with my 7800x3d, since they are both AMD or are they not correlated?

[south arrow]

4080s also close competition if found at a deal

[south arrow]

Not correlated ❤️

[main snow]

Ok thank you

[south arrow]

Wishing lucks either way, fine gpus

[feral stream]

The three negative reviews are not justified as well

[main snow]

Appreciate it, just want to make sure I make the right decision...

Best to look up the 2 your thinking of for side by sides on specific titles or software you'll be playing with. Real world examples myte help you lock in those lyrics

Iroh feel free if anything to adds

[lapis solar]

fb marketplace deals been good lately

cpu is an i7-10700F

could make that back and profit reselling the parts

[analog widget]

Any recs for a good speaker that is also good for outdoors and has good battery life around the tang of 50-100usd

[analog widget]

The ram alone makes it worth it

[lapis solar]

the gpu alone could resell for like $300-$400

[ebon marlin]

500 meh

gpu is 300 cpu probably 50-80

[analog widget]

I mean what if it’s a 13 gen

[ebon marlin]

"cpu is an i7-10700F"

#tech-chat-1 message

[grizzled frost]

“1.5tb storage” is also nondescript

though it probably means 512gb m.2 ssd and a 1tb hdd

[ebon marlin]

it's a prebuilt so most likely 1tb hdd and 512gb ssd

[south arrow]

Keks

[grizzled frost]

i was also more specific, get rekt

[lapis solar]

I thought a used i7 10th gen would be around $100-$150

[ebon marlin]

fuck no

that's like 6 generations old lmao

[lapis solar]

damn

[grizzled frost]

wtf why is the 10700f selling for 150usd on ebay

[hexed tapir]

5

[grizzled frost]

who in their right mind is paying that

[south arrow]

Can get a 12600k for about that gib or take

[ebon marlin]

ebay prices are always inflated as hell since Ebay takes a massive cut

[grizzled frost]

true true

[hexed tapir]

Crazy good deal the new this year i5-110 6c 12t that's the same socket is $199 MSRP

[analog widget]

any good speakers recs that will surive the outdoors and has good battery life

[lapis solar]

seen so many overpriced listings I thought $100 was the average value of it

[south arrow]

It be like that sometimes

Didn't see the battery part brb

[tranquil thicket]

There is so little info online about the rtx 2080 FE thermal pads size and thickness. Has anyone here replaced them before and know what thickness they are? Also if the super and ti have the same thickness as the regular 2080?

[random gyro]

sup folks

[haughty compass]

Super random question, but I don't really know where else to ask, but I got a stand for my monitor and there is a bunch of these strand like things on the glass part of the stand.... Is this like strands of fiberglass? Cus I know those are really bad for you...

[rigid fjord]

looks more like scratch marks, as the stand is made from plastic not fibreglass

otherwise it could be fine strands from the polystyrene packaging

[pallid jolt]

Can anyone help me with some of the set up stuff

( My old laptop was a mess because I didn't really care to keep anything organised , didn't really set up just started using the device and I don't wanna repeat the mistake with this expensive gadget )

[ebon marlin]

why is the dog smirking at me

[pallid jolt]

I am not familiar with much of the tech and windows stuff ( but i wanna learn it )

I saw in a set up video that someone installed windows on their pc and the moment they signed in they created a new drive and only used the new d drive saying c is only for essentials

[ebon marlin]

Some people like to keep the C drive only for OS + important files and D drive for extras like games

It's not that important

[peak swan]

Just set up without internet

[ebon marlin]

I have my C drive full of random ass games and junk

[peak swan]

Like it's only a few commands

Make a new local user, add it to administrator group and kill oobe && restart

[pallid jolt]

So my new laptop is still untouched like I have barely download 1-2 apps like chrome on it

Should I just make a new D drive with 700gb storage ( c drive having 250 ) and complete shift everything to d drive like any games , minecraft, minecraft worlds textures etc , docs , video and photos everything

[void bronze]

Photos and videos are maybe

Depending on how huge videos or photos

[pallid jolt]

Thankfully a person in the store did that for me

Bypassed winnows and created local

[void bronze]

based

[pallid jolt]

Chat gpt says to do the same just still keep application in c drive

( But then it looks very wierd to me why have the d drive , half stuff there and half stuff there )

[rigid fjord]

i'd fully use a separate drive personally

[ebon marlin]

How good is Intel Optane 32gb drives still for OS only

[rigid fjord]

providing the cache isn't dead, it'll be so/so

you'd really want something bigger than 32gb

[peak swan]

How to set up windows 11 local user
On "let's get you connected" screen press shift + f10, click on the cmd window that appears, then type the following likes 1 by 1:
net.exe user username password /add
net.exe localgroup Administrators username /add
cd oobe
msoobe.exe && shutdown.exe -r

[rigid fjord]

you do realise there's a better command for this and only needs to be done on a single line, right ?

[void bronze]

If you use Rufus you don’t need that

[rigid fjord]

especially for win 11

[rigid fjord]

doesn't always work

[void bronze]

?

It’s always works for me

[pallid jolt]

Also why do people hate one drive so much?

[rigid fjord]

for windows 11 only currently as the older oobe\bypassnro has been removed/disabled you now have to type start ms-cxh:localonly into command prompt instead so you can start win 11 with a local account

it brings up this option instead

[void bronze]

It’s so bad

[peak swan]

Fyi, clankers aren't always correct lol
But like yeah, apps should usually go where the os is

[rigid fjord]

it's only useful for business's not personal use

[void bronze]

It’ll backup literally everything then dump it out when you restart or reset the pc

[rigid fjord]

onedrive does have it's uses but for consumer use, it's shite as fuck

[peak swan]

Huh, that's way quicker
But also i will not remember that

[void bronze]

I mean Google Drive exists

[rigid fjord]

before the 24h2 update you could just do oobe/bypassnro

[pallid jolt]

But I mainly will use the device to game so my applications will be the vast majority of storage so what's the point of a d drive

[ebon marlin]

Sometimes companies partner up with microsoft

[void bronze]

Games in second drive

[rigid fjord]

true that is better but you do risk google training ai from it

[void bronze]

Applications on the os drive

[void bronze]

Everyone everywhere trains ai

You’re fucked anyway

[peak swan]

Yeah, i know
I used that all the time
Altho iirc my main pc i just used account

[rigid fjord]

wrong image

[pallid jolt]

Application on os , games on d drive?

But aren't they the same thing ( sorry I have never gamed much on a pc )

[void bronze]

Apps such as steam discord

launchers

[rigid fjord]

yes but also no, games are technically an application but for what they mean, it's more like your OS, drivers, the main launchers/clients for the games and stuff like discord

[pallid jolt]

Ok so in the sense I have bought the minecraft launcher from Microsoft Store

I should keep the launcher on c drive and minecraft bedrock on d drive?

[winter lantern]

It cloud saves pirated games tho

[pallid jolt]

Same for steam ? Coz I plan to play detroit becomes human as my first game

Steam on c and dbh on d

[void bronze]

…..you can do that without one drive

[void bronze]

Steam supports game libraries on all drives connected

[winter lantern]

Well it does it without you even knowing

[rigid fjord]

due to microsoft store settings, that initially installs on your os drive til you change it in the settings

[rigid fjord]

steam you can directly set up separate drives for putting the games on leaving your OS drive free

[pallid jolt]

Alright but for a game that let's say I downloaded not from steam but from chrome?

[rigid fjord]

physically this is actually only 6-7 drives

[rigid fjord]

then you have chrome set to save the download to wherever you want in it's settings

[timid marlin]

My pc just decided in current year that it doesn't like my memory anymore

[pallid jolt]

God how do u navigate

[void bronze]

Blur that in today’s time

It’s just partitions

[peak swan]

Oh, games are fine on a seeprate drive
By programs i meant like google chrome and stuff

[rigid fjord]

with ease, considering they're labelled, also in chrome settings

[south arrow]

Quite well labled at least ❤️

[pallid jolt]

So just have like steam , T launcher / minecraft launcher and essential apps like chrome and brave on C drive and

Rest games and their installers on d drive?

[void bronze]

Yes

I’d personally prefer Firefox but

[pallid jolt]

What about stuff like discord and Xbox and

Screen recorders and editors?

[rigid fjord]

steam library (h:) is a hdd for specific games that are basically retro games that are never optimized for ssd's and never to likely will be optimizzed for it

[void bronze]

In os drive

[pallid jolt]

All of them?

[rigid fjord]

discord and xbox are on the OS drive

[balmy tapir]

how big is your C drive?

[void bronze]

yes

[pallid jolt]

950gb

[balmy tapir]

i'd frankly not worry about it to much then tbh

[rigid fjord]

for minecraft you have to do this in microsoft store settings tobe able to download it to another drive otherwise microsoft store gets it's panties in a twist

[pallid jolt]

Alr gotcha

[unique tapir]

80 USD for this

128 GB of storage

[ebon marlin]

4GB of ram

[void bronze]

6

[unique tapir]

6 GB

[south arrow]

Ram 4 plus 2

[midnight wind]

bro leaked both public ips

[ebon marlin]

it's 4gb normal ram and 2gb of very slow most likely emmc flash storage ram

[void bronze]

These aren’t ips

Those are MAC addresses lmao

[pallid jolt]

So wait let's say I downloaded it again

The minecraft launcher on c drive then from inside the launcher i download minecraft bedrock onto the d drive?

[midnight wind]

under "IP address"

[void bronze]

I’m sure

[balmy tapir]

192.0.0.4!!!! exposed

[rigid fjord]

public i'p's only point to the isp server

[void bronze]

man up addresses aren’t that scary to leak

They don’t even tell exact locations rofl

[midnight wind]

Yes they're probably on cellular because that's not a local IP

[unique tapir]

Is the phone a bad deal

[void bronze]

[unique tapir]

[void bronze]

[unique tapir]

Mine was imported from Indonesia

[unique tapir]

[ebon marlin]

[unique tapir]

Xiaomi?

[void bronze]

I think it’s one of the most popular ones there

[pallid jolt]

So in hindsight system connected apps on C drive and other big data apps and folders on d drive?

[wispy wraith]

Hi everyone,

should i buy a used 3060ti 8gb for 180€ if i have rtx 2060 6gb?

Seller claims its 2 years old and was used for gaming. he has the gpu box.

i can sell my 2060 for 100€.

[rigid fjord]

because you fear evolution like every other religious nutjob?

[void bronze]

real

[rigid fjord]

not really no, you'd be better off with a 6600xt

or going for a 6700xt

[dawn sable]

seems like a pretty good deal

not a massive upgrade tho, same with a 6600xt (even less of an upgrade)

[rigid fjord]

larger upgrade, but tbf even a 1080ti > 2060

[dawn sable]

6600xt is larger?

[void bronze]

Larger in what?

[rigid fjord]

over a 2060, both are a decent urpgrade, price wise though the 6600xt is cheaper for similar performance to the 3060ti

[midnight wind]

up

or grade, I'm not really sure which

[wispy wraith]

rx 6600xt sells used for 200€ in my country and nearest one is 150km away from me. rtx 3060ti is 180€ and 30km away

[dawn sable]

id take the 3060ti any day for dlss alone

especially with those prices get the 3060ti

pretty solid boost of 52% on 1080p avg

[wispy wraith]

yeah i will probably buy it. its also a good model i think

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-ko-rtx-3060-ti-gaming.b8491 its this one

[void bronze]

Buy a 4080

[dawn sable]

honestly if ur using anything less than a 5090 wtf are u doing

[midnight wind]

saving up for my ram kit

[rigid fjord]

fuck you warship

[pallid jolt]

But I only have 1 SSD id like another one but SSD prices are higher and I don't have the budget

[wispy wraith]

😂. its not worth it for me to spend that much on pc as i dont play that much

[dawn sable]

yea same im happy with my 5070ti

[wispy wraith]

rtx 4090 is worth more than my whole pc 😂

[rigid fjord]

i'd sooner get a 9060xt personally, cheap way to get a 16gb vram gpu

[dawn sable]

fair

there is some consideration for the 6700xt too cus of 12g, 8g isnt much but it depends on your local pricing

[wispy wraith]

yeah its around 360€ on amazon de. steal for 16gb gpu

[void bronze]

Thought you said two drives?

[rigid fjord]

an easy £200/€200 for those secondhand

[void bronze]

just buy a intel gpu

[rigid fjord]

and it's the same performance as a 7700xt but with 4gb more vram

[pallid jolt]

Create a partition

I have external ssds gen 3

[left dove]

ANYBODY who rocks a cigarette in the nose is a cleetus I don't care wtf you say

[south arrow]

Its kinda neat I use it some but not exactly for work, yet

[rigid fjord]

@south arrow still to play and complete

[left dove]

CMON GIVE THEM TO MEEE

[tulip sparrow]

Blame the idiots higher up for wanting to shove it down our throats so much

[left dove]

fucking hurry up and give me these too I'm so tired of not having salt/pepper on food

my hand grinders both broke and its so LAME

[south arrow]

I havent beat them all either but Tom Clancys makes some great titles, beside the die hard game some of my inspiration for chaos physics comes from their blowing up walls in a few titles

[rigid fjord]

you should try for any of the easter eggs at the training/tutorials

[hexed sage]

How is this statement gonna affect the ram prices?

[rigid fjord]

you're asking something totally different from what we're discussing

[hexed sage]

The joke is that the price is gonna increase no matter what is said

🤔

I'm truly a thinker of our generation

[trim schooner]

Yall

i got DDR5 rams after hell

[left dove]

Dude the wind is so wild it's fucking w/ electrics

when a big gust of wind hits my light dims momentarily and the ups gets cranky

[rigid fjord]

the annoyances of overhead lines

[left dove]

And this is why my entire office is on a ups

clean, filtered power for my expensive things

[rigid fjord]

this is why for most uk homes the electrics are underground with only the cables to the substations going overhead usually

some substations do have underground wiring to them instead though

[cold skiff]

New builds tend to have a lot on the air because they’re new near build industrial estates now

Cheap power distribution

And I guess they have to build new ways in but yeah, they do it all kinds of janky now

[rigid fjord]

less fun when you live with a substation behind your home tbh

[cold skiff]

The new build “apartment” homes behind me just spurred off the businesses next door. Private road behind me so must have cost them a pretty penny

A lot of the electric being underground here is amazing. Costs a bomb to build with which is why you just see pylons go up everywhere for new builds now

[rigid fjord]

this is what i have behind me

[cold skiff]

Heh. My one is like a 30 second walk away as I’m in a road near the high street

[rigid fjord]

30 seconds is a hope over my back fence to reach it

[rose sorrel]

welp i didnt know this was off not big of deal i ahev restinall window to get back

[cold skiff]

I thought Hogwarts legacy had shit performance

Playing this as I’m bored and need to leave it running 2 hours to get my kid some Fortnite thing

But it’s delightful compared to what I imagine release was

[hollow mulch]

just install linux

[simple palm]

Can anyone suggest some cheap routers with Wake-on-LAN feature?

[rigid fjord]

why do you want WoL?

[simple palm]

I have these 3 computers, and I like convenience of WoL

[cold skiff]

30 more minutes to go

[hexed sage]

I applaud you

[rigid fjord]

then set a schedualed wake up time for the pc

[simple palm]

You are not getting it, do you?

[hexed sage]

I'm glad to see there's some good parents out there

I'm an orphan 💀

[simple palm]

The convenience of that one tap and boom!

[left dove]

So... the convenience of a power button

[cosmic idol]

@rigid fjord I fixed my scooter a couple days ago (I think I mentioned)
But my housemate had an old frame lying around, as well as another scooter (cracked frame) with a chonky 48v battery. Sooo, battery swap, new motor, new controller, new brakes and new throttle and I’ll do it up for him haha

I think I need to make a business out of it lmao

[rigid fjord]

noice, and definitely should

[left dove]

nice reply

[rigid fjord]

ffs discord

[simple palm]

I don't use those workstations on a fixed interval

[rigid fjord]

noice, and definitely should

[hexed sage]

How do I fix my monitor

[left dove]

[ornate harbor]

What problem does it have

[rigid fjord]

hammer

[ornate harbor]

https://tenor.com/view/knuckles-knuckles-the-echidna-approved-knuckles-approved-knuckles-approve-gif-12133775096657000385

[hollow mulch]

skill issue ngl

[ornate harbor]

I dont think you can fix that

[left dove]

Jesus fucking christ that things mad fucked

[hexed sage]

It's playable

[left dove]

please get a new monitor lmao

[ornate harbor]

New monitor unless you got a 1:1 display module somehow

[left dove]

a what

[hexed sage]

I think it's fine regardless

[ornate harbor]

Uhh what it callee in english just the bare screen

[midnight wind]

Do you want to wake the router itself up? Otherwise, you don't really need anything special in the router to support, as long as the router isn't explicitly blocking wake on lan or broadcast traffic for some reason

[left dove]

cmon you can do it

[rigid fjord]

a screen

[hexed sage]

I'm too poor for a new monitor

[left dove]

get a job

[ornate harbor]

Idk the bare screen without any casing

[hexed sage]

I have a job

[left dove]

Oh, just the display itself

[ornate harbor]

Then buy a new monitor

[hexed sage]

I'm work 8.5 hours tmrw

[ornate harbor]

ya

[hexed sage]

My job doesn't pay enough

[simple palm]

I just want to use Waken on LAN feature to wake my computer whenever I have to work on them

[left dove]

cool so buy it with that money

[hollow mulch]

woah woah woah there are unemployed here please censor that

[ornate harbor]

Dawg

[hexed sage]

I make under minimum wage in most states

[left dove]

yeah, myself included

I can just afford to not work

[ornate harbor]

Isnt minimum wage here to give you the MINIMUM and not below

[simple palm]

I don't want to run a raspberry pi just for WoL alone

[hexed sage]

I make over minimum wage in my state but in most states it's under

[left dove]

why specifically do you need wol

[simple palm]

I know many Asus router does have Wake-on-LAN but I am looking for a cheap one

[hexed sage]

I make $14.50/hour

[hollow mulch]

do you get money out of the air or smth

[ornate harbor]

I have no idea if thats much or not

[midnight wind]

There's nothing in the router to "support" wake on lan

[left dove]

Let's go with yes.

[hexed sage]

My states minimum is $7

[midnight wind]

It doesn't even get routed or anything

[simple palm]

so that I can wake my computers from anywhere

[ornate harbor]

Then you make twice the min

[rigid fjord]

less than i make an hour

[hexed sage]

Is it livable when you have no bills to pay? Yes. Are you able to afford your own housing and everything? No

[left dove]

if you're wanting 24/7 availability why are you putting the pcs in a sleep state at all that's kinda dumb.

[hexed sage]

Yeah but my states minimum is extremely low

[midnight wind]

S0ix sleep state speaks to you

[hexed sage]

It's actually the lowest it can possibly be on a federal level

[cosmic idol]

For the most part… electric scooters are soo easy to work on. The brakes are easy, the controller stuff’s easy… liiike.

[ornate harbor]

Buy a used monitor

[left dove]

I did what.. 80k this year?

[ornate harbor]

is that much

[hexed sage]

Nicee

[hexed sage]

I personally am scared for my future

[ornate harbor]

Same

[simple palm]

I am not working 24x7, and I can't just put my computer to stay on all the time. Isn't that stupid?

[hexed sage]

What if I get the degrees I want and the certifications and then the job I want is just useless

[ornate harbor]

Why would you need that

[rigid fjord]

what you basically earn in a standard 4 week month before taxes

[hollow mulch]

you should try deleting gacha games

[vale reef]

taxes are optional

[ornate harbor]

What

[simple palm]

Router will be a much cheaper solution and it will work with same number of LAN ports

[hexed sage]

Brother thinks I get 40 hours

[left dove]

You specifically wanting WoL is the stupid part tbh.

If you're not working 24/7 why are you needing a wake feature at all if you're not remoting into them

[hexed sage]

I wish man I wish

[rigid fjord]

yeah, they're easy but also can leave you shocked if mishandled

[rigid fjord]

not your brother

[hexed sage]

They give you 20 hours at most no matter how much begging you do for more hours 😭

[hollow mulch]

everything is optional

[left dove]

At this point you need to say "I want to learn more about Wake on LAN because I know nothing about it and am just wanting some niche thing to say I have it"

Which is silly.

[rigid fjord]

get a better job
