[left dove]

yeah they didn't close

[craggy cove]

stop listening to infowars

[left dove]

jesus goddamn christ

[trail flare]

Geez

You this toxic in your houses too?

[left dove]

actually read news, not just the fuckin' headline dawg

[trail flare]

Goddammit Chernobyl here

[left dove]

no, crucial did not "close down"

crucial pulled out of the bog-standard consumer market to pivot to enterprise

[plain cypress]

ChatGPT news feed?

[trail flare]

You really a turndown for Linustechtips tbh

[left dove]

I'm not here to glaze the dude lol

[plain cypress]

We don't need/want you here

[trail flare]

Nah it was gemini 😌

[plain cypress]

Different, but not really

[left dove]

yeah actually read the article

[plain cypress]

Micron is expanding fab capacity

But they killed crucial because more money in enterprise

[left dove]

And yeah prices suck right now but it's also the end of the year like wtf do you expect

no, prices will not continue to go up like you think they will lol

[plain cypress]

It would be funny if they re-enter the consumer market as just "micron" in 4-5 years

[left dove]

I can see that tbh

But yeah alvaro stop just spouting rhetoric formed by the clickbait news sites

actually do your own research

think for yourself, don't be sheep

[vague glacier]

What's up bad bitches of tech-chat-1

[ionic peak]

i only trust non electronics and some other stuff

[cold skiff]

Oh they will. It’s not buying season again until like March/April

Economies are famously shite in Jan and Feb

[craggy cove]

possible skill issue

[pure copper]

only time will tell this fortune

its tough to tell

[ionic peak]

i only bought some microphone arm adapter

[craggy cove]

so far ive bought a ryzen 5 5600, 7500f

[ionic peak]

and do they work?

[craggy cove]

7600 too and 32gb kit of ddr5, and some 16gb of ddr4 too

[craggy cove]

yep

5600 was in my pc for half a year till i sold that, 7500f in my main system with the ram i bought too

[pure copper]

whats all this for

[craggy cove]

7600 i just ended up having no use for

[craggy cove]

upgraded my pc and thought to just sell my old components as a built pc

so i ended up having to buy extraõ

[ionic peak]

all over ali express?

[pure copper]

I mean youd make more money off of it doing it that way right

[craggy cove]

yep

[craggy cove]

eh its only worth to buy cpus and ram from ali

• fans and some cables

[craggy cove]

and now the prices suck for whatever reason

so there isnt a point

[ionic peak]

cpu would do but ram atm no

[pearl fossil]

i can get the cpu for the aio for less than €1 with aliexpress welcome deal, should i make a new account just to buy that one cpu

[craggy cove]

do it from incognito mode and a vpn / mobile data or u will get caught

[pure copper]

do they just make u pay full price or what

[craggy cove]

ur new account gets suspended

old one remains

[pure copper]

ohh I see

[ionic peak]

yes

[thorn viper]

Anyone here that plays assetto corsa evo and knows how much ram I need. I tried a grid of 15 cars, it crashed regardless of graphics settings, it doesn't even have a error message, just closes

[void bronze]

how much ram do you have?

[thorn viper]

16 ddr4 3200mhz

[void bronze]

ddr4 is a yikes

but ac evo is also like stupidly high res

[halcyon breach]

is here any voice channel, where u chat?

[void bronze]

only for floatplane

[thorn viper]

?

What even is the difference besides the Mhz

[swift raven]

should i trade my 5060ti 8gb for a rtx 3060 12gb

[livid fern]

No

[thorn viper]

No

[pure copper]

definitely not

[thorn viper]

Vram is NOT everything

[true stirrup]

Not anymore

[true stirrup]

Why would you downgrade?

[thorn viper]

I am 100% sure he is asking cus of vram

[thorn viper]

I lived of of 4gb of vram until a month ago so you'll survive on 8

[swift raven]

yeah that is why

[thorn viper]

But can like anyone actually tell me because I really like the game but I cannot afford ram right now

[void bronze]

....what gpu do you have

[true stirrup]

The 5060ti is way faster... end of debate

[thorn viper]

Seeing as u were talking to me before ill answer. U can say if it ain't me but, 5060ti 16gb

[swift raven]

do you think a 5060ti 8gb would fail on assetto corsa

[void bronze]

its ac evo

[swift raven]

not the main game but servers

[true stirrup]

No

[thorn viper]

Not servers or anything

[thorn viper]

Uh huh. It is ac evo

[fringe prairie]

if you play the game at maxed out stupid settings sure

[thorn viper]

I mean

[true stirrup]

That goes for basically every modern game

[fringe prairie]

yeah

it’s playable just don’t play at stupid settings

[thorn viper]

Might give problems on high, cus of texture fidelity which wants vram, but ram is more of an issue for me persinally

If u optimize some vram heavy settings u can play on ultra everything else on 1080p (I don't think an 8gb is ideal for 1440 anymore so that's why im talking ab 1080)

[swift raven]

should i sell the 5060ti 8gb and get a rx 9060 xt 16gb or keep what i have

[pure copper]

9070 xt would be better if youre going to sell it

9060 xt is a good bit slower than the 5060ti I believe

[true stirrup]

Would be a downgrade as well

[pure copper]

I think the 9070 xt is still a small downgrade but if youre freaking out about vram then the 9070 xt is better

[thorn viper]

8gb is enough

[pure copper]

I dont know the exact differences

[thorn viper]

16 is better, but 8 is enough

[pure copper]

its really not as bad as he thinks it is

[thorn viper]

I have friends that game on 3, (and on integrated)

[swift raven]

i’m aware because i’m on 8gigs on my current graphics card , i just don’t want it to be an issue in the future

[thorn viper]

I am on 16gb now, but i had 4gb on my gtx 1650 not too long ago and I could play anything I wanted really except new titles seeing as im on 1080p. Yes I had to turn the settings down but, at the end of the day gaming should me enjoyment

[pure copper]

its not gonna be unless you upgrade to a higher res monitor or play on max graphics on every game ever

1440 would run on 8gb but it wouldnt be ideal

4k would run but youd have a lot of issues with games

[true stirrup]

The 9070xt is quite a bit faster

[thorn viper]

Also vram shortage currently, so a higher vram card would run u some cash

[pure copper]

exactly

[true stirrup]

Ignore the VRAM on the GPU and just look at the performance

[thorn viper]

Don't ignore cus its still important but raw performance is still more important

[pure copper]

I wasnt sure of it I dont really keep track of the thingys I forgot the name

[true stirrup]

Like when the performance is neck and neck then look at it
Like the 2080ti and 3070
They are very close to each other in performance but because of the extra VRAM on the 2080ti the textures do look better

[thorn viper]

3070 would have longer support

Also dlss (i am not a fan of upscaling but, its becoming somewhat inescapable)

[pure copper]

theres still support for 10 series cards and probably older isnt there

[thorn viper]

No

10 series is not supported since this or last year

16 series is at the end of its lifetime, potentially along with the 20 series. They released at the same time but idk if they'll have the same support time

[pure copper]

[sleek ibex]

Nvidia TNT2?

[shy seal]

idfk got it at a kids sale of all places, came in a fx5500 box tho

[frigid gull]

Anyone do pcb repair?

[normal tusk]

whats your question

[normal tusk]

probably overpaid

[shy seal]

lol

idek how to use it, what kind of port does it take

[normal tusk]

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

[void bronze]

kids these days dont know agp

[sleek ibex]

Yep AGP

Looks like one of those TNT2 cards from Novideo

[normal tusk]

yeah i think TNT2, if not then its close enough - bunch of random (dell) OEM cards that look exactly the same

could probably render half of a 1920x1080 image with it.

[odd marsh]

in here no

[true stirrup]

That's so cursed

[frigid gull]

[odd marsh]

How to fix merged emails on iOS? I have 2 gmail accounts and I can switch them and it still shows same thing

[eager nexus]

wierd buzzing sound after installing new AIO not good?

yes or no?

[ivory mountain]

is it coming from the aio pump? thats usually what that noise is. some aios have a louder pump unfortunately

[formal sonnet]

What do you mean "merged emails"? Are you trying to turn "conversation view" where it groups email responses in the same thread together? (I'm assuming you're using the default iOS mail client, which I highly recommend not using, but anyway...)

[eager nexus]

BeQuiet loop 3 aio pump, sound is comming from the pump and when i turn on Xmp my pc wont boot all of a sudden

[craggy cove]

have you tried waiting more

[craggy cove]

happens. might go away after an hour, might just stay

reducing the pump speed to a constant 80% helpsd

[void bronze]

It’s the email client for dads /s

[eager nexus]

i waited like 15min. maybe i got to wait more yeah ty

[craggy cove]

mm 15 min then idk

[eager nexus]

but why wont xmp work anymore thats wierd

[craggy cove]

reset bios to default?

if it worked before

[eager nexus]

yeah did that it works but i dont understand why xmp wont work if i turn it back on.

also if the pump keeps buzzing after like an hour or 2 is that very bad?

[sharp ivy]

I mean I paid $20CAD for a 730 with a broken fan lol

After gathering context

[ornate harbor]

Wrong, its a GT9600GT 512MB, but idk what brand

[silk agate]

Is it smart to buy an openbox gpu

[south arrow]

If from a returnable source, so you can run a test or two first i dont see why not

im in italy so i checked out and it costs 40 euros more, it is prime so it's gonna get here soon btw idk cause i'd never get a 5060 cause of the bandwith that the 9060xt has so when it runs out of vram it can handle it wayyy better than 5060 btw the 9060 xt 8gb isn't so available here

[hexed tapir]

Oh

[vapid onyx]

here things cost a bit more cause of the importation taxes

and he is mostly gonna play casual games and he's switching from ps5 gaming 😭 🙏

What abt Lenovo iIdeapad Snapdragon X ?

[coarse grotto]

dont know any range , appart for perhaps things like framework laptops but even then its partial ....

[clear canyon]

For what usecase

[coarse grotto]

by the time you have set up your laptop with all software and most irritating bugs are resolved by the company the stuff starts to break down anyway

[dim storm]

Just everyday use

Browsing, twitch, meets

[clear canyon]

Yeah that works

[coarse grotto]

had two msi $2k+ and one $1500 Dell in the past 10 years none of them made it past 1year

[clear canyon]

Snap dragon is great for that

[hexed tapir]

Cheapest option if the same 3

[viral kayak]

Ok

[viral kayak]

Is a 9060xt 8 gig worth it for 300?

Or is the 5060 ti for 350 better

[tulip sparrow]

Stay away from 8GB cards these days

[viral kayak]

I think I’m gonna wait for better sales

But 4000d or 5000d good cases?

From corsair

[void bronze]

you need a 4080

I kinda want a nvidia card tbh its simpler than switching to amd when i already have nvidia but ill take the fastest and cheapest card tbh

[viral kayak]

Here were I live that’s 830

[hexed tapir]

9070xt has 5070 level ray tracing performance and 5070ti regular raster performance

[hexed tapir]

What country?

[viral kayak]

Norway

[hexed tapir]

Shit so expensive

[viral kayak]

A 5070 is a better value for me in that case I guess

[viral kayak]

Cheapest 9070xt here is 730

I think I’d rather get the 5070 for 630 then

[hexed tapir]

9070 non xt is $65 more but has lesser quality features and worst ray tracing performance but is faster in raster performance and has 16gb vram, I would go with the 5070 if your not worried about 12gb of vram though

[gloomy isle]

santa said i could get a rtx 5090 🤑 🤑

[hexed tapir]

Fsr4 is great but Nvidia Upscaling is better and has more support

[viral kayak]

Well how do the compare to each other in ray tracing and 1440p

[hexed tapir]

70 vs 59

[viral kayak]

I think I’m gonna get the 5070 I been wanting to try ray tracing

[viral kayak]

That or I pay about 70 bucks more and get a 4070 super

[hexed tapir]

Get 5070 it has the special hardware requirements for the frame generation stuff

[viral kayak]

Don’t both have dlss 4?

[odd marsh]

yes, but only 5070 has mfg

is there a way to recover data from a dead ssd?

[solar forum]

if the bios isn't picking it up thats not good, try a different cable and port

[viral kayak]

I have a ssd that’s not detected in my pc I know it works but it probably has a bad cable

[formal sonnet]

If the drive shows no signs of life in multiple computers, your next course of action is contacting a professional data recovery service. Be prepared to pay a few hundred for a diagnosis, followed by another couple hundred to several thousands if they believe it's recoverable. Alternatively, you can replace the drive then restore from backup.

[novel depot]

When I turn the power on from the wall outlet, I can hear an almost continuous beeping sound from my PC. But when I press the power button on the case to boot it up, the beeping goes away. I know it's not beep codes because they're meant to be heard loud and clear, but this noise is only heard when I bring my face near the case. Any ideas what it might be?

Sometimes when I turn on my router, I can hear this kind of beeping at the start. I do have an antenna in the PC. Is it possible that the sound is from the antenna?

I'm looking at picking up this LG C2 OLED for what seems to be a great price, but the catch is this horizontal banding on the screen. With how regular it is it seems to me like the issue is most likely in the main board/tcon board rather than the panel itself? I've found some similar looking examples on various subreddits and forums, some said they replaced the motherboard, most said they had the panel replaced while under warranty, but none of them looked exactly like this that I could find.

yo can someone help me with a pc parts list? - I made a post in #1106613567966429224 :D

[ornate grove]

Hi everyone, just wanted to get some opinions on my upcoming build, should I stick with the ryzen 9 9950x3d or switch over to intel?

[latent pasture]

man ram prices are death

[misty mauve]

TRUE

[bleak ledge]

Mozilla spelt downgrade wrong 😑

[hexed tapir]

Why do you need a 16 core cpu

[hexed tapir]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GtnBsp cheaper with a 5090

[vague glacier]

disgostin

[cold skiff]

Good price

[proven sparrow]

can someone help me make a parts-list for a pc? max budget 3k

[cold skiff]

Yeah in #1106613567966429224

[proven sparrow]

nobody responded to my post tho...

[cold skiff]

Then wait.

Patience is a beautiful thing.

[proven sparrow]

okay

fair enough i guess

[ivory mountain]

no its not i hate being patient

[cold skiff]

For 3k you’re basically getting a 9800x3d and 5080 id imagine tbh

[proven sparrow]

its more about the compatibility and wattage etc for me

[clever burrow]

would a 600 dollar pre built be able to run fortnite and gta smooth

[cold skiff]

That’s easy. Throw in your own thread a PCPP you’ve got and people will edit, discuss and help around it

[cold skiff]

Let me look into my crystal ball to see what components all $600 prebuilt have

[formal sonnet]

Impossible to say unless we know what hardware is in the prebuilt.

[clever burrow]

ok

[clever burrow]

do you got a recommendation for a place i can find one?

[formal sonnet]

The websites of Dell, HP, Lenovo. Or whatever stores are local to you.

[sick roost]

You can try looking on ABS

[ornate grove]

I already have the 5080

I’m just considering whether I should switch to intel for my CPU

I like AMD but I’ve had mixed experiences honestly

[clever burrow]

not a single one i found is under 900

[cold skiff]

Then we have an answer to your question. That is no.

Can’t rate performance if the price point doesn’t exist.

[ornate grove]

@cold skiff what’s funny about my question?

Genuinely curious

[cunning cloud]

has anyone elses amd gpu been freezing and crashing when switching tabs

[cold skiff]

Several things tbh. If you know, you know.

[cold skiff]

What’s the GPU

[ornate grove]

Please explain cause I’m unfamiliar

[cunning cloud]

7800xt

[cold skiff]

Use google arin. Do your research

[ornate grove]

I’m asking whether it’s worth to make the switch or not

[cold skiff]

No issues with my 7800xt currently sasuke

Using latest drivers also

[ornate grove]

Weird but ok

[cold skiff]

Some people are rolling back drivers on adrenaline for issues but none related to windows UI as far as I’m aware

[cunning cloud]

Its froze right when i sent that msg

[cold skiff]

Try a driver roll back maybe

[cunning cloud]

Ok ty

[cold skiff]

Hopefully temps still good.

[cunning cloud]

My screen is black

I literally did a clean sweep and reinstall of my drivers like 1 hr ago but its happening again

[cold skiff]

Sounds like a tech support thread issue

[cunning cloud]

whats the date on your drivers?

[deft jetty]

Does this mean am cooked?

[frigid blade]

Yah

[lapis furnace]

Y'aint fr ✋ 🧢

[formal sonnet]

No, it means that drive should be replaced. (Regardless of a drive's state, you should always have a backup.)

[bronze summit]

Kirashi what do you think is the standard storage capacity for drives now?

[lapis furnace]

1TB

Minimum

[bronze summit]

I meant standard not minimum

[lapis furnace]

2tb

[coarse grotto]

judging by price /gb id say 2TB for nvme , 8TB for CMR , dident look up SMR but prolly not worth going over 4TB because of well yeah SMR 🙂

[lapis furnace]

🤔 👀

[deft jetty]

Am guessing that am cooked cuz i have backed up 0% of my data on this drive and btw it's the main drive so idk what am i gonna do know

[coarse grotto]

id say that or the disk has a weird smart interface or the smart chip is corrupted , or smth happened to the smart data that makes it so , not fucked if you can still use the disk but i think its best to duplicate the drive to a new one asap 😄

[formal sonnet]

Who knows? Steam's hardware survey, probably. Personally, I recommend at least 512GB for boot drives today.

[cosmic idol]

I think my worst drive is a Samsung drive at like 3% health lmao

[cold skiff]

He had a good run

[cosmic idol]

haha yeh

[cold skiff]

Get the pistol out and just shoot it now tbh

[deft jetty]

Thing is i connected my other ssd to my brother's pc to make sure that it's good and it gave me a 92% health status but there's a lock and a key icon on it and it says that it needs a 48 digit passcode to unlock it and i don't know if i can unlock if i hook up a new drive with a windows installation on it

[lapis furnace]

My little lightsaber (literal) 🧯

[cold skiff]

Bitlocker?

[cosmic idol]

It’s life support is on life support at this point

[cold skiff]

To make a lightsaber you’d probably need high energy gamma rays

[deft jetty]

It's already dead, it crashed my pc and wouldn't boot beyond bios and it wasn't showing in boot menu so i hooked it up to my brother's pc and used CDI to check the health

[lapis furnace]

It's just a gas burning high temperature flame torch

Kind of a lighter

[cold skiff]

No one wants a beam of light that can’t interact with something else

That’s not a light saber. That’s a torch

[cosmic idol]

Sometimes I forget how dang good these edifier mr4s are haha

[cold skiff]

Get the high energy death inducing gamma ray version

[coarse grotto]

id suggest using smth like clonezilla on usb and see if that can read the disk, it boots form usb then and its kind of made for situations like this,... it might be able to get most of the data off if it can read it

[cosmic idol]

I got them for 65usd a couple months back and haven’t looked back lmao
I’m planning on getting another set for my tv in the living room lmao

[lapis furnace]

Ok anyways back to SSDs

i will be purchasing one with 4tb capacity in April and yes i still use a 5 year old gtx 1650 i5-9th gen fitted with maxed out 32gig ddr4 2666 ram-ahh laptop

[cold skiff]

Sounds like your priorities are wrong

Or you have a lot of Linux ISOs

[lapis furnace]

I don't

And Multi booting isn't my thing anymore

[coarse grotto]

https://rescuezilla.com/ meant this clonzilla is the software not the usb srry

[cold skiff]

What

What you need 4tb for?

You got more corn than the hub?

[cosmic idol]

lmao whut

[lapis furnace]

For gaymes ofc fkin 1tb fills up too fast

[coarse grotto]

yeah no idea why one would need more than 4TB ... lol

[lapis furnace]

4tb is the max i would wanna go...

[cosmic idol]

I kinda wanna get a 4tb ssd
Partition into 1.5 tb and 2.5tb
One half for boot one half for games lol

[lapis furnace]

4tb on one ssd btw

[coarse grotto]

havent counted how much is in my system but 😛 i think i exceed the 4tb atm :p

my laptop has a 4tb one 🙂 nvme

[cold skiff]

Get 2tb then. 4tb is overkill for ya

[cosmic idol]

my main rig has like
1tb boot
250gb ssd
120gb ssd

And my laptop has 512

[coarse grotto]

whats the size of COD these days?

[cold skiff]

Used to be bigger because of over fishing

Average about 12kg / 3m iirc

[coarse grotto]

phishing ? 😄

[cold skiff]

I mean they’re no tuna fish

[lapis furnace]

Alright, numbers don’t lie. I ran the math instead of eyeballing like an amateur.

Total raw storage: ~62.5 TB

Breakdown, since you asked loud but still want facts:

Big spinning rust (4.5T + 7.3T x4 + 10.9T + 14.6T) → 59.2 TB

Smaller drives + NVMe (all the ~1TB and ~0.5TB stuff combined) → ~3.3 TB

Add it up → ~62.5 TB of raw capacity

That’s not “normal PC” territory. That’s homelab, data hoarder, or “I never delete anything” energy. If this isn’t doing real work like backups, media servers, ZFS arrays, or VMs, then yeah, it’s overkill. If it is, then fine. Just don’t pretend this is casual.

[cold skiff]

What are you blabbering about

Your 4tb laptop is a homelab? What you smoking

[coarse grotto]

take half of it almost as backup for the other half ,... i dont use google drive for storage of pictures , as i use nextcloud so all pics i take are stored locally , and i used to produce music so theres allot of audio samples on there aswell , and stems at 192khz 32bit WAV tend to add upp pretty fast to,... so i guess for everything media related (like being a youtuber or whatever it adds up fast and is not that out of the ordinary anymore i think)

[coarse grotto]

2tb data , 1tb windows 11 ,1tb linux ,... and you want space to

[lapis furnace]

Bro has more corn than cornhub

Jk

[cold skiff]

Still sounds like your priorities are wrong

[coarse grotto]

actually my corn directory is rather small and acient lol , you can stream directly from cornhub.website these days

[cold skiff]

Build another PC. Use the laptop for Linux.

[cosmic idol]

Why are we talking about corn
Potatoes are far superior

[cold skiff]

I mean I haven’t watched corn since the early 80s

[coarse grotto]

on my main rig , i dont run windows other than in a vm, but on my laptop i need it from time to time as running in a vm there is allot less smooth and cooks my poor intel cpu

https://cornhub.website

[ivory mountain]

goated site

[cosmic idol]

I forgot that was a thing

[coarse grotto]

and yes i should actuall build myself a nas , have most of the hardware already (but for a cpu cooler and a psu) but keep postponing it...

[cold skiff]

Sounds like you’re convincing yourself

Good luck and enjoy the new drive

[coarse grotto]

? think your mixing up 2 chatters here 🙂

[lapis furnace]

Holy boomer 🤯

[cold skiff]

I was joking

I wasn’t born until the late part of that fine decade

[lapis furnace]

Holy millennial 🙏

[cold skiff]

I don’t really consider myself millennial. Those of us born mid to late 80s are altogether sort of stuck in our own category tbfh

Most millennials got the good tech off the bat… we were born learning it

[cosmic idol]

Crazy that to think that 80s peeps are in their 40s

[cold skiff]

Most are

[lapis furnace]

I am as old as gta vice city + 28 days cuz September

[cosmic idol]

[lapis furnace]

Peak gen z moment

[cold skiff]

Still too old for di caprio

They’re doing the American national song for the Jake Paul ring walks

And the British one wtf

[lapis furnace]

I will give everyone free tacos

[cosmic idol]

I wonder if mods even have that power lol

[cold skiff]

You’re not even green bro

You gotta be blue before mods even think of a mod

[lapis furnace]

I eat green all day

[ivory mountain]

yeah cause anthony joshua is british

[cold skiff]

[cold skiff]

He’s a cool fellar

A bit fucked up but yknow

He’s not exactly Chris rock. His missus did hit him first so yknow.

Chris rock? I mean Chris brown 😬

[ivory mountain]

he crashed his car and made his bleeding camera man film the car lmao

[drifting latch]

Guys this might be a dumb question but I recently bought a OLED monitor (Samsung - 27" Odyssey OLED G6 (G6OSD) QHD 360Hz). I love it so far but not until after i purchased it and set it up did I realize its free sync and not g sync or g sync compatible. I have an nvidia card (3080ti), is not having g sync a huge problem or will I be okay without g sync?

[void bronze]

you’ll be fine

[cold skiff]

Dram > Nvidia > Taiwan > AMD > Intel arc > Intel foundry > arm > that Random’s Chinese gpu company > Intel CPU division

[void bronze]

ATI solos

[drifting latch]

Ok thank god, I’ve heard a lot of mixed opinions about whether it matters and have seen people say I’ll have bad stutter issues. I don’t know a lot when it comes to monitors.

[cold skiff]

Did I get that shit show eight?

ATi was goated

[void bronze]

Matrox is better

[cold skiff]

3dfx was king

[coarse grotto]

pharhelia ftw

[cold skiff]

If 3dfx was around today it would be king and queen

[coarse grotto]

had a matrox millenium II

[cold skiff]

Good old voodoo

Time to watch this utter garbage now. Best be over in round 1

Or I want my Netflix subscription back for the month

[ivory mountain]

holy monologue

piston hondo would send jake to sleep

[cold skiff]

That moment when a heavyweight boxers jab makes you fly 10meters 😬

[ivory mountain]

wouldnt make me flinch im him

[coarse grotto]

https://github.com/PCBox/roms you can use pcbox emulator and use a rom to emulate it all thes edays

how to beat a heavy weight boxer : low kick , low kick low kick low kick low kick .... 🙂

and dont get hit or your ffed

[cold skiff]

Literally running away

[ivory mountain]

its so annoyinggggggggg

[cold skiff]

He didn’t throw one punch in that round

Not ONE

[coarse grotto]

or if your rodtang you prolly can just walk trough the punches but ...

would like to see a bokser take on lerdzilla or smth 😄

most just give up trying to hit the guy :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxNGCrMuiTc

[ivory mountain]

this shits so rigged 😭 this ref is gambling

[cold skiff]

Jake Paul has spent more time on the floor than trying to punch

You can see his eyes with the fear. Don’t blame him but don’t take a fight if you won’t fight tbfh

Can’t expect a boxer to box if their opponent runs around and slides on the floor tbh

Ref is about to stop this

Blokes gone

After 2 connections

[ivory mountain]

BYE BYE JAKE

[cold skiff]

Fucking LOL

First open body shot and he’s on the floor

[coarse grotto]

lethwei rules next time , no point scoring system , you only win by K.O. but if you do go K.O., you get 5min to recup and rejoin so only the 3rd KO is final, if not and you survive to the end but recovered from two ko's and showed heart the judges might give you the win,.. (and if your a forreigner they might also pay for your wedding there if you happened to be engaged lol)

[cold skiff]

Fair play to AJ. Bloke isn’t finishing him just to fuck with him

[coarse grotto]

left body shot to the liver , nobody thats not an absolute beast remains standing btw...

[cold skiff]

If someone run around the ring for 4 rounds I’d also wanna hit them over and over rather than finish them

[ivory mountain]

jake when he tries to fight someone that isnt a 60 year old retired fighter

[coarse grotto]

one of the most painfull things to experience

[cold skiff]

He took a good right hook too.

[ivory mountain]

jake is getting bitched dude

[cold skiff]

Any other boxer and Paul would have been followed up on that, was a massive shot.. his head went out the stadium

[coarse grotto]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiuKudW3G94

[cold skiff]

He is gone lol

Put his tongue out and made a silly face to a real boxer and he got the referee to get him out of trouble

[ivory mountain]

LMAOOOOO

[cold skiff]

An actual boxer would have got up from that

[ivory mountain]

i hate his fuckass face

[cold skiff]

120mil for some cardio and 1 round of boxing

[ivory mountain]

He said fuck the script

[cold skiff]

Wouldn’t surprise me

Never seen anyone run around a boxing ring so much in my life

If he didn’t do those silly faces the script probably would have been complete

[coarse grotto]

ever seen genki sudo vs butterbean, genki also does allot of running in that bout but he does win in the end (well the running is warranted in this case lol)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQsj3fSr1o0

hehe if your intresting in a fight , might be worth it to check live feed of brussels in an hour or 2 🙂 farmers vs police prolly

cops using water cannon on protesters, farmers using manuer cannon on cops 😄

[hidden nymph]

pov ur ssd is the bottleneck in this equation

damn ssd

[coarse grotto]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZh0Uxa0_ns so what theyre saying is that any future laptop that is affordable will have way to less memory to run an os and software locally thereby forcing everyone to run their applications on the cloud ,using a subscription and where they are curated and controlled by those same companies that cause the hike in memory prices in the first place ??? seems to farfetched right

Isn't that basically how chromebooks operate

[livid perch]

I got a new laptop

The Acer helios 16s Ai

The ultra 9 with the 5070ti

N 32 gigs of ddr5

[random gyro]

i have 32gb ddr5 ram also

but i have a desktop

[random gyro]

that gpu is a mobile one, so not as powerful as the real 5070ti

[buoyant bridge]

The absolute nonsense sas can engage in
Red = drive with loose connector (not even on the same port as the problematic array on the HBA)
Blue = array that wasn't working correctly due to a loose connector on another drive in another array on another grouping

[deft jetty]

is there a way i can recover some of the data on it ( a Minecraft world save) without spending a gazillion dollars?

[hoary agate]

imagine actually using a workstation/server motherboard as a workstation/server
could NEVER be me

[buoyant bridge]

Is it downright failed or is it just in recovery mode/protected mode

[deft jetty]

downright failed

[buoyant bridge]

How'd you conclude it's not in protected mode

Have you tried using ddrescue or similar to image it?

[cold skiff]

0% bad. No shit crystaldisk

A nice cool 67c too

[buoyant bridge]

honestly it looks like one of those chineseium ssds and a chip probably failed so you'd need professional data recovery but trying to image it with dedicated software is a good idea first

[cold skiff]

It looks fucked. You’re not getting anything from that

[deft jetty]

my pc crashed so i restarted and it wouldn't show on boot menu on bios and when i connected it into my brother's pc it gave me unknown not initialized in disk manager

[deft jetty]

tbf i've had it since 2018

[buoyant bridge]

you might be able to image it with ddrescue but aside from that there's not much to do

[deft jetty]

i'll try it, Thnx alot

[buoyant bridge]

it takes a long ass time though fyi and you need enough storage to fit the entire capacity of the drive available

[cold skiff]

Power on count is 12322 days…

[deft jetty]

Gotta say it served a lot

[cold skiff]

31 years

I think it’s fucked…

[buoyant bridge]

Power On count is just how many times it's turned on and off

You mean power on hours because yeahhh that's 31 years

I got some drives with some time turned on but not 31 years

Just a small amount

Hard Drives are cool because they might last a decade they might last 6 months

[deft jetty]

i have a hard drive that was made in march 2012 that i use as storage for my videos

have been using it for atleast 8 years

[buoyant bridge]

these where made in 2010 but I had some drives made in 2004 running till very recently

I finally ran out of spares for that array so it was moved onto modern drives

(I had 60 spare drives for it when it was built in 2004)

[hoary agate]

is that bad

[formal sonnet]

Nope. Still says its good.

[flint swallow]

im wondering if this seagate exos x16 16tb is worth it

going for 225usd each, looking to get a few to upgrade my nas

the DOM is 2021

if its for a NAS might i suggest double checking that them drives are not SMR but CMR , seagate has a confusing naming for it so,...

you mean to tell me you want worse battery life and a heavier laptop to do the same thing my humble lil Thinkpad does worst of all it can't even do the same things on battery

[rigid fjord]

jake should have lost to tyson tbh,

[ebon marlin]

Your humble lil thinkpad is significantly more expensive than a gaming laptop

[golden sage]

Tyson was defo holding back, u could see in some parts of the fight muscle memory took over and he stopped himself

I pretty much believe tyson could’ve knocked him out even at unc age

[frigid blade]

Why wouldn’t he, pretty sure in the contract a no KO paid out more

Something like that

[golden sage]

Yeah, he prioritised the bag for his family i think, he also at one point said his achievements are “useless” or something

[frigid blade]

$20m is $20m

[buoyant bridge]

this is a T14s G1

They're like $200 on eBay

[ebon marlin]

I got my Lenovo Loq Essential 9th gen for 200€

i5 12450HX and an Rtx 2050 for 200€

[frigid blade]

What’s the gaming laptop specs

[buoyant bridge]

okay but how many watts does it give the GPU on battery

most gaming laptops don't even give the GPU 20W on battery

[ebon marlin]

No idea haven't bothered to check

But the 2050 is a low power gpu only 45w

While giving the same performance as a 3050 mobile

[frigid blade]

800MHz base is wild

[buoyant bridge]

its speedstep

that CPU is actually lke 1.9 ghz base iirc

[frigid blade]

Ah

[buoyant bridge]

800mhz is its lowest speed lenovo just configured the thinkpads to startup in their lowest speed starting with like 10th gen

its a major reason the newer intel ones absolutely destroy the AMD ones in battery life they're biased in a lot of ways to run as low as possible

that CPU runs anywhere from 800 MHz to 4.20 GHz

[rigid fjord]

as it's not an max-q model, you're looking at around 50-75w on the gpu, though the cpu is power hungry

[rigid fjord]

they're better on battery life but not destroying them

[buoyant bridge]

It's usually like 20-30% better at best so fair

10-20% is more common

And even then Intel only does better with a good configuration on the OEMs part, AMD does better in actual power efficiency

(AMD doesn't offer OEMs as advanced configuration afaik)

[rigid fjord]

10-20% better than what intel used to be like for battery life

[buoyant bridge]

those where scary times

you either didn't get functional wifi out of the box (AMD laptops) or you didn't get functional battery life (Intel laptops)

now it's you get a laptop that kinda works or you get a laptop that kinda works

Laptops are only slightly more functional than printers hot take

[trim mason]

QwQ

[rigid fjord]

not really, i mean amd being better on battery life for a long while after zen 2 mobile, then with apple's arm silicon being way more efficient in power draw, it's made both amd and intel do a double take

[buoyant bridge]

you QwQ'd in the wrong server /j

[trim mason]

no qwq is an eternal shrine emoji

[buoyant bridge]

I get 14-20 hours out of my T14s G6 and I get 12-14 out of my T14s G1
I have no more needs in a laptop battery and the T14s G6 AMD model I had didn't accomplish the all day battery mark

[trim mason]

it shall be applied to anywhere if one should possess, the power of QwQ

[buoyant bridge]

Okay but does your cat get mildly interested in setting up freebsd on a laptop

[rigid fjord]

have you seen how long the m1,m2,m3 and m4 chips last?

[buoyant bridge]

yeah it's like 20-60 hours iirc?

[trim mason]

ok but QwQ

[buoyant bridge]

I refuse to give apple money because their computers depend on their servers
I have simple preferences
Made of metal, I can turn off whatever connections to whatever remote servers I want

[rigid fjord]

yup, the only downside is that if their cpu's died it takes out the storage

[buoyant bridge]

I wonder how well supported ARM Thinkpads are on Linux yet

I was considering getting a T14s G5 Qualcomm used to play around with ARM laptops

or NVM it's not the T14s G5 what the fuck was their first Qualcomm Thinkpad

[topaz shale]

there must be a better way to do this but i have already set it up

[rigid fjord]

linux arm should be alot better than windows arm

[buoyant bridge]

Idk about that because a lot of windows arm laptops don't have public device trees

the ASi Macs didn't either but they where reverse engineered.. very painstakingly

[rigid fjord]

windows arm is more for fpga's, but it's got it's flaws

[coarse grotto]

just almost no distro's debian ,... thats about it i think ,,.. not even gentoo has an officialy supported arm install guide

theres choice enough for sbc's but theyre rather specific

there's als https://archlinuxarm.org/ but thats also not an official fork so

[rigid fjord]

arm's still new enough for anything other than phones that there won't be an official fork for a few more years

[coarse grotto]

so basicly unless your willing to tinker dont think there is a simple install solution like there exists for x86

suse also has suport and so does fedora now so it seems

and void

[coarse grotto]

windows arm for fpga's ? dont think there's fpga's that emulate arm,.. tbh 🙂 or they must be really slow

think you just mean IOT's and SOC's

soc's might have both btw both arm core and fpga logic:)

[buoyant bridge]

Doesn't openbsd have one?

Arch likely never will have an official arm version due to the nature of arm needing device trees

OS has to be built on a device by device basis instead of installing itself and being configured on device

OpenBSD has official arm versions for raspberry pi and I think some ASi systems though

[sage ocean]

Woah! I know MS used to put a message on the screen if you searched for chrome using Edge, but now Edge completely REMOVES the download button (Firefox on left, edge on right)

[rigid fjord]

not sure, i don't follow through with OS's so much

[buoyant bridge]

This looks like Google is serving a different page to chromium browsers

What does it look like in chrome?

[sage ocean]

dunno cause edge wont let me download it lul

[sage ocean]

on chrome

[buoyant bridge]

Very much seems like Google is serving different pages

I don't think edge would change the entire page content

[sage ocean]

you think too highly of m$ then

[upper abyss]

guys what do you call this, i googled it but the definition sounds weird to me

[rigid fjord]

looks like a breadstick with cracked sea salt over it

[upper abyss]

sup Rauko

[rigid fjord]

sup

[upper abyss]

i mean yeahhh but i thought theres like a singular term

google says salt-sticks but ive never heard that, might be above my language level then

[buoyant bridge]

there's quite literally a judgement in the state of washington that specifically says microsoft cannot do this

microsoft did this in the 1990s and got told off US courts

[rigid fjord]

hmm, this comes up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretzel_sticks

[upper abyss]

ye that term aswell, i think its more fitting and i think ive heard it once or twice at least

ty

[sage ocean]

theres many court judgements that arent followed in the US right now if you keep up with the news at all

[buoyant bridge]

can you link the download page you're viewing in edge?

because its the same HTML as firefox for me

[sage ocean]

https://www.google.com/chrome/

[buoyant bridge]

nope

latest edge version too cus I had it uninstalled

[sage ocean]

it redirects in edge

[vestal stream]

Bro how tf is the 5800x and ddr4 I bought years ago the best investment I did this far???

[buoyant bridge]

are you in the EU?

[sage ocean]

no

[buoyant bridge]

because I know in the EU the download button is at the bottom of the page for the chrome download in some browsers

[rigid fjord]

i am technically

[vestal stream]

I can sell my pc for the same damn price I built it.

[buoyant bridge]

do you get this one or the alternate one that has the download button only at the bottom?

[rigid fjord]

on chrome itself

[buoyant bridge]

thats the referer link lol

[sage ocean]

it redirects me to that

[rigid fjord]

on firefox

[buoyant bridge]

google pays microsoft to show the chrome download as the first result when you search download chrome

and theres a referer URL for that

its not redirecting you its just what happens when you click the first result in edge

[sage ocean]

explain the popups saying to keep using edge?

[buoyant bridge]

I don't even get those

[buoyant bridge]

all I get is this

[sage ocean]

theres what i get

ff and chrome show download links but edge doesnt

[rigid fjord]

on edge

[buoyant bridge]

it looks like you're just inspect elementing the download button out for some reason

[sage ocean]

im not

do you want me to record with obs refreshing

[buoyant bridge]

would you record refreshing the page in edge yeah

and scroll to the bottom

[rigid fjord]

you have some kind of adblocker affecting it or an extension

[sage ocean]

1 sec ill record

[buoyant bridge]

ublock actually does that to me in firefox lol

[sage ocean]

im using ublock in firefox

if you look at my screenshot you can see it in the top right

[buoyant bridge]

ublock is litterally one of the least consistent adblockers in existance

itll block one thing for one person and not for another

[sage ocean]

there

[buoyant bridge]

I genuinely cannot replicate this at all

[sage ocean]

shows one in waterfox aswell

[buoyant bridge]

I even tried forcing my locale to US and to a few countries with no market protections it STILL does not do this

[sage ocean]

no vpn or anything on for me just plain edge plain chrome and add-ons firefox

[buoyant bridge]

what version of edge are you on?

I looked at the html and noticed that block is a flexbox which edge hasn't supported for all that long

[sage ocean]

Version 143.0.3650.80 (Official build) (64-bit)

[buoyant bridge]

okay thats confusing we're even on the same build of edge

[sage ocean]

well it says an update can be installed

so i can try that, but despite the version its a weird occurence nonetheless

same thing

[rigid fjord]

something in your system is affecting it

[buoyant bridge]

the only way I can replicate it in edge is by turning on microsoft's Secure Network feature which isn't even avaliable on GAC windows

when set to "maximum protection" which says it will change the content of websites it does remove it though

but that requires installing an optional feature thats only even avaliable in windows security on enterprise/ltsc

[sage ocean]

im on windows 11 pro

[buoyant bridge]

so yeah you don't even have the feature I managed to replicate that with

and that feature blocks litterally ALL download buttons

itll remove any HTML element that says download

[rigid fjord]

it's a feature that could be added without being part of insider/ltsc

[buoyant bridge]

its only for enterprise/LTSC

you could add it I guess

[sage ocean]

if i added it, it would block this

[buoyant bridge]

yeah.

[rigid fjord]

there are ways to add it without being part of them

[buoyant bridge]

you've GOTTA be doing something because any way edge would be able to remove the download button automatically would remove this box too since its one single flexbox

[rigid fjord]

for example

[sage ocean]

i recorded a refresh

do i need to completely record opening edge and pasting the link ffs

[median heart]

Bro why is my dedicated gpu stopped working

[rigid fjord]

the user and also #1027757333117415424

[buoyant bridge]

its something about how edge is setup

[median heart]

In device manager its got the like yellow warning triangle thing but its got no driver updates idk what to do

[median heart]

Ive had a post open for 3 days nobodys looked or replied

[sage ocean]

well i dont use edge so i havent changed any settings

[rigid fjord]

it's voluntary based and this channel isn't tech support

[median heart]

No shit its voluntary based but if nobodys replying i should ask somewhere else dipshit

Sorry i want the laptop thats worth a band to work as intended

[buoyant bridge]

is it an AMD gpu?

[median heart]

Nvidia geforce rtx 5050

[buoyant bridge]

whats the error under properties?

[cold skiff]

Watch ya mouth

[buoyant bridge]

right click it, properties, itll have a error in device status

[cold skiff]

Rauko is one of the most helpful and balanced people you’ll ever meet. You show no respect to people, no one will bother looking at ya thread

[median heart]

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems code 43

[sage ocean]

Ah yes, the RTX5050 famously masnufacturered by Advancded Micro Devices

did you previously use a AMD gpu?

[median heart]

Thats why i didnt say yes to his question

[sage ocean]

if so you need to DDU the drivers completely

[median heart]

Nope never its a laptop ive had for a month

[cold skiff]

5050

[buoyant bridge]

43 is general driver/hardware error, try manually adding the driver for it

[cold skiff]

Return it. Get a new one. It’s under warranty.

[median heart]

How do i do that dyk?

[buoyant bridge]

properties > driver > update driver > browse my computer > let me pick > select the newest version

[median heart]

Dont wanna lose all my stuff and have to redownload it all

[sage ocean]

backup

[ancient vapor]

Or you can just get drivers thru nvidia app/their website

[cold skiff]

Would you rather a fucked laptop or having to reinstall a few bits of software?

[buoyant bridge]

itll be the one above microsoft basic display adapter

[buoyant bridge]

43 isnt always hardware failure

[median heart]

Alright its saying installing drivers now so hopefully its working

[buoyant bridge]

windows sucks and will just randomly remove your GPU driver sometimes I've had it happen before

[cold skiff]

He was rude so I’m just giving him consumer 101

[median heart]

Well im gonna try fix it before anything like that

Okay the yellow triangle is gone now so fingers crossed its fine

[cold skiff]

In fairness though even in a laptop no one should have to put up with a 5050

[buoyant bridge]

is there a down arrow?

[median heart]

Wdym?

[buoyant bridge]

where the yellow arrow was is there a down arrorw

[median heart]

I think its working now anyway though so its all calm thanks alot

[median heart]

No

[buoyant bridge]

if that fixed it you still gotta reinstall ur GPU driver

because its not fully installed when you do that. that just lets the nvidia control panel actually recognize your GPU again

[median heart]

Oh right how do i do that

[buoyant bridge]

download DDU, reboot to safe mode, run it, uninstall GPU driver, reboot, go to nvidia's website, download the nvidia driver, install it

[median heart]

Oh well i can run all the games i want to play and it works for me so why should it matter

[median heart]

Whats DDU and whats safe mode? Sorry for asking so many questions i get its annoying im just super confused with computers

[buoyant bridge]

DDU = Display Driver Uninstaller

Safe mode = safe mode

[median heart]

Are you sure though cus its showing up in task manager

[buoyant bridge]

it doesn't initalize the Vulkan or DX12 stuff usually when you have to do that

[cold skiff]

I can run the games I play on a 5050. Hell I can run on iris xe, however that doesn’t mean it should be acceptable to sell that garbage to consumers.

[buoyant bridge]

it might work but chances are you can't use DX12 or Vulkan unless you do that or wait for a driver update

[median heart]

Yeah cool but it works so i dont really care tbh

[buoyant bridge]

also somethings wrong with your driver to be causing that anyways

[median heart]

Oh right

[ancient vapor]

lol theres no bad cards only bad pricing

[buoyant bridge]

@sage ocean managed to replicate it without a weird security feature on a W10 pro VM. for whatever reason if you enable the ESA registry flag, and are on a non EU IP it does this

[median heart]

Where do i install ddu?

[buoyant bridge]

https://www.wagnardsoft.com/display-driver-uninstaller-ddu

[ancient vapor]

techpowerup

or like a lot of places has it just type it in the browser

[sage ocean]

whats that registry flag?

[buoyant bridge]

I just used wintoys to toggle it

DMA* not ESA

[sage ocean]

idk whats wintoys

[buoyant bridge]

program that lets you toggle a bunch of registry stuff in W11/W10

[sage ocean]

huh

[buoyant bridge]

its just a easier form of registry editing

[sage ocean]

welp i dunno why its on but i dont use edge anyway so

[buoyant bridge]

DMA is the toggle that lets you remove edge on W10/W11 home

[buoyant bridge]

did you setup your PC as a european union region?

[sage ocean]

i use firefox and ive been considering moving to waterfox or something

[sage ocean]

united states

but i frequently use a vpn

[buoyant bridge]

it shouldn't be on but all it does is lets you remove edge so.

its based apon the region your PC is setup in

[ebon marlin]

Why are we removing edge in the big year of 2025

[sage ocean]

cause i dont like it

[buoyant bridge]

W11 just lets you do it natively on all versions except home

[buoyant bridge]

yeah I got no clue why its on

[ebon marlin]

It's one of the best big browsers out there

[sage ocean]

nah

[ebon marlin]

Yah

[sage ocean]

i use firefox

[buoyant bridge]

or if thats even why its happening for you. edge is weird

[sage ocean]

considering a move to waterfox

[ebon marlin]

Also known as one of the worst browsers out there

[sage ocean]

windows is weird in general

[sage ocean]

ill use anything non chromium based

manifest v3 is stinky and i like my ublock origin

[buoyant bridge]

no edge is actually REALLY good

[buoyant bridge]

edge can still use ublock lol

[ancient vapor]

theres probably atleast twice the amount of users using safari than edge

[sage ocean]

is it though

[ebon marlin]

Non chromium browsers are non-functional

[buoyant bridge]

also MV3 prevents fingerprinting badly coded MV2 extensions (ubo is one of them) will expose you to

[sage ocean]

i use canvasblocker too

[buoyant bridge]

theres tricks to fingerprint ANY firefox browser with ubo installed its halarious

[sage ocean]

and privacybadger

[buoyant bridge]

doesn't matter the fingerprinting relies on ubo

[sage ocean]

actually i have a lot of stuff on

[buoyant bridge]

MV2 ad blockers have VERY inconsistent behavior and you can mix it with a few things that aren't spoofed on modern browsers to fairly easily fingerprint people using them

[sage ocean]

Tampermonkey, Sponsorblock, noscript (sometimes), https always, the thing that changes your browsers resolution to non screen resolution

[random gyro]

can anyone help one of my friends build his dream PC he is playing roblox on it

[buoyant bridge]

ublockorigin is what's being fingerprinted

[random gyro]

does he need expensive parts

to run roblox blox fruits

[ebon marlin]

You can run that on a shitty 100$ chromebook

[ancient vapor]

no lol something like 400 ish would be well enough lol

[random gyro]

ok

[buoyant bridge]

the reason TOR uses a special version of ublock is to make it consistent so that you can't fingerprint it

[sage ocean]

practically my entire firefox I can spoof

[buoyant bridge]

theres a lot of common mv2 extensions that are inconsistent as all fuck and are useful in fingerprinting since they'll change browser behaviors in specific but inconsistent across several client ways

[random gyro]

for roblox fps is a razer viper v3 pro good enough

or does he get the deathadder v4 pro

[buoyant bridge]

you you spoof ublock origin deciding it wants to generate a random canvas element to try and hide its blocking ads

[median heart]

Ive installed it and im in safemode and its like on a menu with a bunch of options what should i tick and stuff?

[buoyant bridge]

read.

[ancient vapor]

Why would u get a 150 bucks mouse for roblox

[ebon marlin]

I'd recommend avoiding Razer

[random gyro]

logitech then?

[sage ocean]

i mean I have quite a bit of differnet lists/ custom code running on ubo

[ebon marlin]

Slightly better

[median heart]

If it says remove present and non present moniters will my moniter stop working

[sage ocean]

so its behavior is not stock

[median heart]

Read what

[buoyant bridge]

roblox isn't going to matter you dont need a gaming mouse the roblox engine has so much input lag you'll never get a diffrence

[buoyant bridge]

the UI 😭😭

[random gyro]

i thought logitech and razer the best mouses

[median heart]

Idk what it means at all ngl to u

I have no idea what any of this stuff means

[ebon marlin]

Razer is one of the worst gaming brands and Logitech is just alright they're mid tier

[buoyant bridge]

so you've made it EVEN MORE unique? you do realize that makes fingerprinting you even easier and more certain right
