tech-chat-1

[grizzled frost]

cause the hardware is usually the same price or more expensive than 10g networking

[high fiber]

@tidal geyser this is what I have so far budget is 750
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9mWX9C

[grizzled frost]

UDM pro max ftw

[tidal geyser]

what wifi version does your tv have?

[hexed sage]

I feel like out of anything you could obsess over, Gotham is a weird pick

[grizzled frost]

also usually TVs are limited to 100mbps ethernet

[tidal geyser]

meh how advanced do you want it to be

[muted fox]

rn I have an apple tv 4k plugged into a mesh router

i cant run eithernet to my tv setup

[tidal geyser]

how much money do you want to spend

[muted fox]

less than 500 i guess

[tidal geyser]

b580 is cheaper and way way faster

[true stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/bh187-justice-league-batman-mood-brood-gif-14855600461153137116

[muted fox]

Is there not just a gold teir 5 gigabit wifi 7 router from asus or whatever?

[tidal geyser]

ew 5GHz

[muted fox]

u guys are useless omg

[high fiber]

Is it on Amazon? because my problem is that I can only get stuff from Amazon

[tidal geyser]

why

[high fiber]

My friend has 750 dollars is Amazon gift cards

[tidal geyser]

ah

[grizzled frost]

Cloud Gateway Fiber and a ubiquiti AP of your choosing

[grizzled frost]

ah a scammer, gotcha

[tidal geyser]

amazon overpriced af but cheapest i found on ami https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bYcBD3/asrock-challenger-oc-arc-b580-12-gb-video-card-b580-cl-12go

[hexed sage]

The money on an amazon gift card won't depreciate

It's like gold

[tidal geyser]

the US dollar will

[grizzled frost]

it depreciates at the exact same rate as physical currency or money in a bank account

[tidal geyser]

also aint there a time limit on em

[hexed sage]

Nah

[muted fox]

yes i should do ubiquiti. I'm guessing I have to get one with 10g lan to get the full 5g to my wired PC? I'm looking at the UCG-FIBER and it looks like 2.5g lan?

[hexed sage]

Amazon

[high fiber]

Are there any compatebility issues especially since intel is still new to gpus?

[grizzled frost]

gold retains value because its numerical value increases inversely to inflation more or less

[hexed sage]

I trust Amazon with my money

[tidal geyser]

nope 10gig

both sfp+ and rj45

[grizzled frost]

it has a 10g rj45 and 10g sfp+, one of those can be switched to a LAN port in software

[tidal geyser]

the rest of the rj45 ports are 2.5gig

[muted fox]

Oh nice I'll check it out thanks guys

wait but my PC is only 2.5

[tidal geyser]

if you want 5gig wifi you would need to use one of the spf+ ports into a 10gig switch with probs PoE++

[hexed sage]

Are we speaking gigabits or bytes 🤔

[tidal geyser]

networking

[hexed sage]

Bits

[tidal geyser]

wait a moment

[muted fox]

My ISP just added 5 gigabits fiber for $20 more my current 1gig copper plan and I gotta figure this all out lol

so many bits

[tidal geyser]

why not just the pill https://eu.store.ui.com/eu/en/category/all-cloud-gateways/products/udr7

[hexed sage]

Do you need Wi-Fi

[muted fox]

That's cute, I'll scroll the ubiquiti website tonight

[tidal geyser]

not me him and and he NEEDS it

ok the pill only got 2.5gig rj45 wan

[muted fox]

I would like some mesh system so I can ethernet in my TV setup which includes a PC, Apple TV, etc. can't run wiring there. My servers and main PC will be wired. And then Wi-Fi for my iot and phones and iPads and stuff

[hexed sage]

Do I have to buy wifi

[tidal geyser]

no you do not need to buy wifi

[hexed sage]

It's free Wi-Fi? 🤔

[tidal geyser]

5gig is just not used a lot right now at best 2.5gig or 10gig no in between and 2.5gig tends to be way more than any device could ever need

here is a funny fact, a place where about 200 ish people or so live i helped do networking for and it only had 100Mb

[muted fox]

yeah ik it's just funny I can get 5 gigahertz in my small town and I'm a software dev power user whatever and would love to take advantage

[tidal geyser]

the major benefit of fiber is latency and jitter

[muted fox]

bits omg

I've never said 5 gigabits out loud

[hexed sage]

I don't use fiber

I have home internet

[tidal geyser]

i use fiber both inside and outside the house

[ivory mountain]

@grizzled frost i started watching edgerunners like u said holy shit this shows freaky

[lapis gull]

Strix g16 or Omen max 16. which should i go for?

[hexed sage]

No it's not 😭

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cyberpunk-edgerunners-lucy-cyberpunk-edgerunners-come-gif-4934840715506558484

[hexed sage]

Like the first two episodes with the 10 second clips maybe

[ivory mountain]

i cant even say the shit i was going to in here lmaooo

[muted fox]

I've wanted fiber ever since this Google fiber ad came out lol

[tidal geyser]

what do you need it for

[lapis gull]

Gaming on the go. Needs to be a laptop.

[tidal geyser]

but also uh one has a better gpu and a better cpu for gaming

[hexed sage]

Cyberpeak

[lapis gull]

Is it really that much better than the 5070ti to pick HP over ASUS?

[tidal geyser]

ok yea the bearings on the fan in my monitor are going bad

[tidal geyser]

good luck warranting

[true stirrup]

Left
And if you run out of storage just buy another SSD

[lapis gull]

Warranty through microcenter anyways

[hexed sage]

Has anyone here gone to college?

[lapis gull]

No I am still in year 1

[hexed sage]

I'm in my last year of highschool rn (11th)

[true stirrup]

I am studying "Computer and information technologies"

[tidal geyser]

im in my last year too

[ivory mountain]

im going to in august

[lapis gull]

Hmm okay. ASUS one has easy access to its internal.

[ivory mountain]

i graduated in december

[lapis gull]

I’ll check out hp

[hexed sage]

Same hopefully

[true stirrup]

HP probably does too

[tidal geyser]

o yea das true the 5080 get 16GB of vram

[lapis gull]

Yeah it does just 6 screws while asus is a lever to open. Hp has a nvme slot covered by its vapor chamber.

[tidal geyser]

shit both are liquid metal

[lapis gull]

Many complaints about hp poor Liquid Metal application frying laptops but I’ll have warranty so :/

[tidal geyser]

just never take off your cooler and before putting the laptop in a bag let it stay off and cool down

[tidal geyser]

well linuses own asus laptop died

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixr1QaP7chM

[pulsar root]

Is water cooling good cuz water has a high specific heat 🤔

[lapis gull]

Subreddit was vocal about HP. Linus said he was rough with his and dropped his bag

[tidal geyser]

it does not matter

[lapis gull]

I’ll probably have to replace the paste then on both then :

[tidal geyser]

TIM

[true stirrup]

If you are going for a custom loop because you want to blow some money then he'll yeah go for it
If you are talking about an AIO then meh might as well go for air cooling

[tidal geyser]

you gain no real performance from AIO over air coolers

only cost more with a higher risk

[sleek ibex]

Custom Watercooling is more or less a hobby these days

[tidal geyser]

my monitor is so loud

i really need to replace the fan

[plucky hull]

are there websites that will show you the fps of
cpus compared against each other (with selected gpu)

[tidal geyser]

no

[lapis gull]

Air coolers are just fine. Phantom Spirit air cool has been cooling my 9800x3d just fine

[tidal geyser]

that is not how computers work

[true stirrup]

Impossible to calculate
You would need someone to do a benchmark for every combination

[tidal geyser]

well applications

[formal sonnet]

CPUs don't give you FPS alone. What others have said above rings true. I don't know of anyone who's made a singular database of every hardware and game combination over the last 30 years, so ... Yeah.

[plucky hull]

surly someone would have done that

[tidal geyser]

one game will not tax the cpu as much as the gpu vs another

[plucky hull]

im just wondering how much of a bottleneck my cpu is

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/sussa-gif-3576410136483948131

[plucky hull]

ya thats fair

[true stirrup]

It isn't

[tidal geyser]

what cpu what gpu

[plucky hull]

im thinking about getting a 4080 super, and i have an i5 13600kf

[true stirrup]

Sounds fine

[plucky hull]

ive got a 3080 ti, but someone on marketplace is offering to trade their 4080 super for mine + 360 usd

on the fence about it rn

[tidal geyser]

hmmm

sounds kinda funky

[true stirrup]

So you would be getting a better GPU and extra money?

[tidal geyser]

i think he means he pays dat maybe i dono

[plucky hull]

no, im giving the 360 + 3080 ti : for 4080 super

[tidal geyser]

yea

[tidal geyser]

yolo

[plucky hull]

i mean, its not a bad deal but i also dont know if i wanna put that much money into my pc

[tidal geyser]

do you need more than a 3080 ti

[plucky hull]

im getting like ~110fps in rivals without dlss

my monitor is 144hz

[tidal geyser]

use dlss performance

and now transformer v2 just came out

[plucky hull]

it adds latency right? and i did see dlss 4.5 was released soon

[somber zealot]

I’d trade him my 2060

[plucky hull]

might be too much of a downgrade lol

[somber zealot]

I’ll give him a cookie too

[steel umbra]

sounds ok

[true stirrup]

You probably won't notice the latency difference

[tidal geyser]

upscaling adds almost nothing frame gen does

and even then with framegen your mouse or keyboard might have more latency tbh

[plucky hull]

cant even use frame gen with 3080ti tho

[tidal geyser]

ok?

Still praying it does release since it is now technically possible 🙏

[tidal geyser]

is it?

[plucky hull]

between this and 3060's being rereleased we are back to 5 year old pcs

[tidal geyser]

ah shit i forgot do not use transformer v2 on pre 4000 cards

[true stirrup]

Yeah it's been possible ever since the transformer model released

[tidal geyser]

pre 4000 architecture just aint made for it

[night delta]

one of the oldest sockets, ever, its about to be 10 years old by september

[plucky hull]

i remember telling my mom to invest into amd when they released am4 (she didnt)

I'm building an am4 pc soon

[quick stag]

[craggy cove]

did a ram factory blow up why am i seeing cl17 2400mhz ram going for 65€

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/super-bowl-live-under-a-rock-thats-enough-no-more-work-gif-16220317

[craggy cove]

yea but like why is it even worse worse

[tidal geyser]

stock is running out

like i said

[craggy cove]

should i even build this computer and sell it or just sell the ram and the rest of the parts atp

[craggy cove]

stock portfolio is looking great rn (100% dram)

[tidal geyser]

xd what im doing

im going all into laptops kinda, tbh im now just selling off all my shit and gonna coast until i get a j*b

[craggy cove]

finally my laziness pays off

does nothing, wins

[vocal brook]

I'm looking for a sort of clear cased fan. Preferably milky White which is white but still let's some light through. See the orange leds at the bottom

[craggy cove]

also my 3000mhz cl16 kit just got a buyer this minute wow

65€, bought for ??? €

[vocal brook]

Does that even exist

[tidal geyser]

what

[vocal brook]

Sorry, was supposed to be attached to this message.

[craggy cove]

is that orange led worth saving

[vocal brook]

No, I want a led strip behind it

Like thios

[tidal geyser]

any of these?

[craggy cove]

imagine putting that in a + 1000$ build

[plush wren]

[craggy cove]

put some classy red led moled clear fans in there

[vocal brook]

Lol

Well, I could swap in the white fan blades from my current fans, maybe

[tidal geyser]

no

[vocal brook]

Okay, guess ill find a different place for the leds

[craggy cove]

i todkdnt yuuuu sooohhh

[tidal geyser]

[craggy cove]

all the budget went for the case

[tidal geyser]

front panel connector probs wrongly plugged in

[craggy cove]

never done that... never

[buoyant bridge]

how do we feel about tightening fan screws with this

[craggy cove]

i understand it

[tidal geyser]

strip

[craggy cove]

use the right size

[buoyant bridge]

I already tighten fan screws with an impact never stripped them

[buoyant bridge]

Fan screws strip the threads out if you tighten them too much

[craggy cove]

oh strip the fan threads?

[tidal geyser]

aka ye gotta be careful

iv done it before

[craggy cove]

uhh oops

[buoyant bridge]

yea most people don't tighten fan screws with anything powered

[craggy cove]

might be like that in my current pc

[buoyant bridge]

I do it with an impact driver but I'm extremely careful with it

[craggy cove]

eh probably not actually

its a mess

fullscreen windowed

maybe

[hidden hill]

i wish i had more space

lots of volts for lots of OC

14-14-13 at 2400MHz on 1.38V

DDR4

[sly lance]

Idk whether I should go through the hassle of getting a used 3070 with better performance and looks in my opinion (like 100 fps vs 120 fps) but could have issues from the previous owner and won't have warranty or anything, or just buy a brand new rx 7600

[tidal geyser]

o jesus das ddr5 speeds

[tulip sparrow]

tha ts standard jedec for ddr4 lol

[spring latch]

i thought DDR5 was like 36-36 smth

4800MT are you mad

[spring latch]

im talking about the CL-tRCD and other option

[tidal geyser]

aka sub timings

[tidal geyser]

new b580

[subtle storm]

should i be worried that my spacebar is sticking

[spring latch]

14-14-13, the stock was 16-16-18 on two sticks and the remaining stick in single channel was originally 16-16-16

[tidal geyser]

worried?

@sly lance why

[subtle storm]

ionno is it a bad thing, cuz its still usable

[spring latch]

the BIOS automaticlly set my RAM to 1.36V even though its stock is like god 1.3V?

[tidal geyser]

well no then

[subtle storm]

aight thats all i need,
thanks

[spring latch]

and im running 1.38, might go for 1.39 to to 13-13-12 or even lower

mix and matching is bad but in my case its a matching corsair kit then a remaining AData stick which means Corsair runs in dual channel (2400MHz/2400MT/s), and the ADATA stick runs in single channel (1200MHz / 2400MT/s)

and I get 24GB

the dual channel set will be addressed in the low pages of RAM

so 0x0 onwards

[subtle storm]

its mesmerizing not understanding a single thing this man says
where do you even begin to explain or learn about such things

:o

[spring latch]

then the remaining single channel ADATA set runs in single channel after adress 0x400000000

[sly lance]

Cpu overhead issues, and I'd just rather get an amd or Nvidia card

[spring latch]

get AMD

even if you arent using Linux ever in your life, just go AMD

if your CPU is intel then maybe nvidia

[sly lance]

Did you see what I asked before

[sly lance]

.

[subtle storm]

whats wrong with a 3060

[spring latch]

its not the 3060, its NVIDIA as a whole thats had very poor linux support

[tidal geyser]

do you live under a rock it was fixed half a year ago

[spring latch]

it took me half an hour to get a GT 730 to run properly on linux

[viral kayak]

Would it be bad to buy a dual fan 5070?

[subtle storm]

from the news ive been seeing probably

[tidal geyser]

and for the most part the used market is safe

[spring latch]

if that has 2 fans I guarentee its a 5060 or its been downclocked or somehow its been made more efficient

[tidal geyser]

nvidia is really well supported now a days

and are starting to POUR money into it

[viral kayak]

No it’s a 5070 I know this because I can read

[tidal geyser]

the only major issue it has is dx12 performance being about 20% ish lower than windows

[spring latch]

you still have to go through the hassle of upgrading or downgrading a kernel if it doesnt work, then pray your vendor of card will work with the driver

[sly lance]

I don't keep up with Intel gpu's

[spring latch]

thats because dxvk has overhead

[sly lance]

Is there any other issues with it right now?

[spring latch]

it has to convert DX to vulkan calls

[tidal geyser]

no major issues i know of

[spring latch]

ive never used intel GPU but they look like a strong budget contender

[tidal geyser]

im gonna get a pantherlake laptop

[spring latch]

im an AMD GPU user personally, good ol 4GB RX 580

[tidal geyser]

mine is just a tiny bit better being the 7900 XTX

i use it as a paper weight

[viral kayak]

It runs the same clock speed as the 3 fan asus prime

[tidal geyser]

nah ofc not, its for hardcore youtube and discording

[spring latch]

ig nvidia made it so efficient it runs on two but if you do get it be weary on thermals

[hexed sage]

Hello

[spring latch]

my RX 580 works perfect for what I do, just gave it and my i5 7400 new thermal paste

alright here

13-13-12 2400MHz 24GB at 1.39V works fine it seems

[tidal geyser]

MT

[spring latch]

its confusing but in dual channel I think its 2400MHz/2400MT/s

[tidal geyser]

if you are overclocking DO NOT use mhz unless you know what ddr means

[tidal geyser]

DDR= Double Data Rate

[rose stream]

Damn, I actually caught the details to know which board that was, just to understand why there was no USB-C on it.

[tidal geyser]

aka 1200mhz becomes 2400MT

[spring latch]

I cant even overclock the MHz lol the Intel 200 series chipset doesnt allow it

same with the CPU, if I ever got a 7700K id waste money getting a K chip you cant even OC

are there any case restrictions w air coolers? thought it was mostly just ram and maybe vrms

[queen trout]

Yes how broad the case is

[left trellis]

I she

From the cpu too the glass

[bold olive]

man the 2500x is sexy

[queen trout]

Im thinking the 3500x or 3000d

[bold olive]

2500x is an matx case

[blazing blaze]

Looking back on this purchase though I got this computer 5 years ago on the 3rd for $1300 xD

[bold olive]

eye

[queen trout]

?

[tidal geyser]

g500a tots not worth it for me

[plain cypress]

I like 3500X

Although it was just on sale, looks like not on sale this week

[tidal geyser]

i just throw my puter under the desk and use it as a feet heater

[plain cypress]

Bro doesn't live in a warm country

[bold olive]

i put it on top of my desk even if it takes an eighth of the space for the ac to blow air directly

[queen trout]

I also like the look of the 3000d

[tidal geyser]

i prefer more space to torture computers

[spring latch]

KDE

[tidal geyser]

latest victim

[queen trout]

I wanna get a new case because my fractal north is loosing color for some reason

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/kde-kde-org-logo-gif-17171562

[rose stream]

Does this make me the only one who barely thinks about my system still living behind my monitor while being tiny?

[blazing blaze]

what would be the best upgrade from a
RX 5700 XT gpu
Ryzen 7 3700X computer to today's parts? it still runs perfectly fine i just wanna know

[queen trout]

What resolution

[bold olive]

https://tenor.com/view/me-lol-gif-25565956

[tidal geyser]

runs just fine so nothing

[rose stream]

Clean desktop and wallpaper btw.

[tidal geyser]

do not look too close

probs not gonna know but the ones who do know

[rose stream]

RX 6700 or 7700... And that's about it, I guess.

The cpu could probably last just fine.

[tidal geyser]

its a really balanced combo rn

i would upgrade both at the same time

[queen trout]

Rtx 5090

[frigid blade]

If I was to sell a build with 4090 and 285k, what should I put it at? It’s used

[tidal geyser]

what do they sell for?

[frigid blade]

Idk that’s why I’m asking

[tidal geyser]

how did you plan to sell it

[frigid blade]

The GPU on its own is going for $2.2k used

[frigid blade]

Look in a sec after I’m done taking a shit

[covert torrent]

anyone here that could help me with my ram oc?

[rose stream]

Hold up-
Is that... Spotify or is it just that blurred for me?

[frigid blade]

Idk how I should price, per part or built is lower

[tidal geyser]

not spotify

[queen trout]

Show proof

[tidal geyser]

who calls the parts in a pc bulk

[frigid blade]

I fixed

[blazing blaze]

just based off the price i bought it for 5 years ago you can get something like this

[tidal geyser]

its just called a computer

[rose stream]

Which app is it then?

[gleaming rose]

wow ok it seems like the panther lake launch was a flop lmao

[tidal geyser]

davinci resolve maybe

[tidal geyser]

also i did not see right it was more like 3050 in synth

[gleaming rose]

they said laptop 4050

[tidal geyser]

no clue how i saw 4050

[frigid blade]

Apparently the listing for used it $2.5k, but is seems they sell a few hundred cheaper at auctions

[tidal geyser]

its only late this month laptops with it will start to sell

[tidal geyser]

and ye got yar price

[frigid blade]

I’m banking on my 4x48gb ddr5 going much more expensive

But then who’s gonna buy it

[cosmic idol]

Not me

[tidal geyser]

just part it out

[simple holly]

Should I buy the 3080 over the 6800 xt if they’re around the same price, being the 3080 around 40 bucks cheaper on average. I saw benchmarks with RT and upscaling anf there was a clear winner but vram is a good point for an argument.

[tidal geyser]

i have so many questions now

[frigid blade]

I got them a year ago when everything was cheap

[tidal geyser]

why

[frigid blade]

It was a good deal even then, $250 for all 4 dimms

[simple holly]

1440p ultra games, mainly rpg or AAA

[tidal geyser]

and why do you not need it now

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-gif-4564892

das even better than my 100$ for 2x48 kit

[frigid blade]

If NWR fixes the 2x64 then I prefer 2x64 128 over 4x48 192

[frigid blade]

Before taxes mine was

[tidal geyser]

why so much ram

[tidal geyser]

aint tax like 20$

[frigid blade]

Gaming VMs

[frigid blade]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gleaming rose]

why the fuck would you game in a VM

[tidal geyser]

1 computer into like 4 decent ones

[somber zealot]

I’ll take 2 for free

[frigid blade]

It’s cheaper than buying 4 pcs

[tidal geyser]

way more power efficient and if set up right play anywhere

[gleaming rose]

or just.... play one game at a time and have them all installed on your main os

[rose stream]

Speaking a few topics back of sexy cases...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xlI7eZXsS8

[somber zealot]

how much are those rn

[tidal geyser]

other people?

[frigid blade]

They would be for more than 1 person

[gleaming rose]

oh you're doing that
my fault

[frigid blade]

4 dedicated computers, 3 VMs

[rose stream]

No way that's one of their concepts.
That's crazy cool.

[tidal geyser]

and with hyper-v you can even do KAC games

[frigid blade]

Yah it’s hyper-v with GPU-PV

[cosmic idol]

Yummy

[frigid blade]

I wrote my own powershell cli to manage the 4090 and splitting it

That was fun, Microsoft docs are really bad btw

[tidal geyser]

wait are you the same guy i talked with about this at the start of last year

[frigid blade]

Yep

Waited to finish our home, it’s ready now

[tidal geyser]

did not recognize the pfp

[frigid blade]

Yah my gf made me match

[tidal geyser]

i just remember the pfp of people

[zenith helm]

hello

[frigid blade]

this was my pfp

[rocky warren]

Hey chat, Would yall trust the goldenmate Amazon lithium ups in the same garage as your vehicles

[frigid blade]

its literally the first 3 letters of my name in microsoft paint

[rocky warren]

Especially if the vehicles are red with a horsey on them

[dull willow]

now why does BF6 require secureboot smh

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/sml-lamborghini-huracan-lambo-supercar-gif-23759357

[zenith helm]

Valentines day is coming up and I want to make an LED board display for my fiance but I've literally only ever done the blinky programming on an arduino board, so all I have is a breadboard so I was wondering if it was better for me to get more LED bulbs or an LED matrix for an "I love you" message to flash across

[gleaming rose]

man fuck now i dont want a laptop
i dont want all this AI slopware forced down my throat

[tidal geyser]

KAC

[gleaming rose]

led matrix

[tidal geyser]

i dono just do not use the ai stuff

[gleaming rose]

it'll still be there drawing power and pissing me the fuck off

[zenith helm]

can I use the other arduino parts I have to program it? i have the basics kit

i just want to make sure I have everything ty

[gleaming rose]

i dont want an NPU i just want a chip that makes the games go beep boop

[rose stream]

Put Linux on it and don't ever install any of that nonsense.

[dull willow]

is it safe to enable?

[tidal geyser]

the NPU only takes up die space it does the same thing as dgpus do when not needed

[gleaming rose]

i have to wait for drivers to get linux working

[gleaming rose]

oh ok

[tidal geyser]

secure boot

[gleaming rose]

but still panther lake lowk looks kinda ass

[dull willow]

yes

[tidal geyser]

secure

[dull willow]

okok so just follow the https://help.ea.com/en/articles/technical-issues/secure-boot/

[tidal geyser]

considering the jump each gen i dono

[rose stream]

Admittedly, they can run AI models via your igpu anyway, so i wouldn't matter if the chip has an npu or not.

[tidal geyser]

even intel says their own NPU is still just 50 tops while the igpu is like 130

[rose stream]

Which ones exactly?

[tidal geyser]

mesa for pantherlake

[rose stream]

Didn't Intel help develop kernel drivers for their stuff ooorrr is there something up with those?

[tidal geyser]

kernal 6.20 should give some nice improvements for all intel graphics stuff

[tidal geyser]

intel uses mesa the same ones amd uses

[rose stream]

Ah.

[dull willow]

this option doesnt come on win11

[tidal geyser]

windows 11 is always gpt

[dull willow]

oh thanks

[tidal geyser]

aka yes it will boot

but nice thing to check

[frigid blade]

holy fuck

that is absurd

[tidal geyser]

yus

[frigid blade]

I paid $2.5k (original purchase) + $244 (ram) + $550 (cpu, mobo, cooler)

[clear canyon]

The ram is 1k alone lmao

[tidal geyser]

even my teacher went buy ram, fyi i think we are at the panic stage now

ama wait a few more weeks then sell all my ram

sell in a craze buy back when its done

[frigid blade]

thats what im thinking

[dull willow]

is this only for ddr5?

[tidal geyser]

gonna buy mysefl a house

[frigid blade]

I had ordered a kit from amazon but third party seller, it was $1.4k, it came broken

i was gonna sell those and use this one

[dull willow]

or are ddr4 or selling for higher?

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-edited-message-cat-eating-watermelon-gif-12651679745378723106

[clear canyon]

Why the hell would you buy ram for 1.4k

[tidal geyser]

everything is

[dull willow]

OH SHIT

[tidal geyser]

like i said craze

[dull willow]

i have some 32gb ddr4 gskillz

[frigid blade]

i ahd extra christmas money

[tidal geyser]

but ddr4 aint really used much

[tidal geyser]

200$ or so used

[dull willow]

laying around not using

[clear canyon]

You should of burned it, you wasted money

[frigid blade]

i was gonna return it anyway after my gf got mad at me

[tidal geyser]

he bought it for 250$ tax not included

[frigid blade]

talking about the new one

2x64

[dull willow]

is that what its selling for rn? or is that retail?

[tidal geyser]

wait whaẗ́

[clear canyon]

I say that was karma for buying ram that expensive

[tidal geyser]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1336647847810043914.gif?size=48&animated=true&name=LC_pog_fish

[frigid blade]

amazon refunded me without asking for the broken kit back, and right as i listed it for auction someone mentioned north west repair could give it a try

[tidal geyser]

sellin

[clear canyon]

I would be pissed too

[frigid blade]

so now im waiting on the waitlist for the repair

[dull willow]

ah

[tidal geyser]

probs just cold solder

hmmm i should try and reflow some of my own broken kits

[frigid blade]

the person before me tried to remove the heatsink and dented and scratched

missing a transister or something on one of them

[gleaming rose]

probably gotta wait for decent XeSS support

[tidal geyser]

ripped pads

[gleaming rose]

because i'll need it to play a game or two

[frigid blade]

i think NWR can fix it, hes fixed worse

[gleaming rose]

i'll be buying a thinkpad so everything else will work day one i bet

[frigid blade]

the quote was $150 from NWR if they fix it, $50 if attempted but not fixed

[tidal geyser]

not gonna fix pads on a ram stick

[frigid blade]

what pads

oh, the gold pads?

[tidal geyser]

soldering stuff

[frigid blade]

nwr does soldering stuff

[tidal geyser]

yes but that kinda stuff you kinda cant replace on a ram stick

due to how precise each path has to be

[frigid blade]

i think the pads are fine

[tidal geyser]

welp lets wait for the video

[frigid blade]

in 4-8 months

[warped island]

what does this mean?

[tidal geyser]

malware

[frigid blade]

https://northwestrepair.com/waitlist/

[warped island]

bruh

[frigid blade]

its gonna be a while

[frigid blade]

i believe this is because of iTunes/Apple software

I got it after installing iTunes

[warped island]

I dont use iTunes

[tidal geyser]

wait did you really not google at all

[frigid blade]

Bonjour is like a printer thing I think

[tidal geyser]

apple

but used for printers i think

[frigid blade]

yah

[warped island]

the only recent thing I've installed is the elegoo printer thingy

[summer wren]

Is a i5 4590 paired with a 1050ti good?

[warped island]

so thats prob it

[frigid blade]

well there you go it probably uses bonjour for compatability

[tidal geyser]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaWxl8DDBMg

[gleaming rose]

in 2016 it was fine

[summer wren]

Ah bet

[gleaming rose]

that means NO

[summer wren]

HEY

[tidal geyser]

linux can fix it trust

[warped island]

just got an AI ad for a cooking thing on this

[frigid blade]

I really hate saying stuff but when people come in here with booty builds and ask if its good i need so much holding back to not say its shit

[summer wren]

I GET 70FPS IN GTA

Like I know some people cant afford anything better, but if I was being completely honest I have to say its dog

[tidal geyser]

gta 5 ran on a ps3

[summer wren]

Ok?

...

[tidal geyser]

ps3 is older than me

[summer wren]

I got my whole setup for £140

[frigid blade]

I had a guy come over to get his pc fixed in my garage and the build was like a 7th gen with 1650 and he told me it was worth $2k (he paid $2k when he got it)

[summer wren]

I upgraded my gpu a month ago from a 750ti

[tidal geyser]

2.8k oled 12700h for 30$

[frigid blade]

we wouldve been twins just no monitor

[summer wren]

My pc is just a dell optiplex 3020 with a 1050 ti

[tidal geyser]

f

[summer wren]

It still runs games

[frigid blade]

I bought this but canceled after more research

$341 after taxes with 13900H

It runs fine, just needs external display

the repair would be a few hundred $

[summer wren]

Idk that my games look like they were drawn by a 3 year old

[tidal geyser]

this is the pics i got before i bought it

[frigid blade]

this was a nice buy, $42

[summer wren]

I ripped a hard drive out of an old macbook because my pc didnt come with a hdd or ssd

[limpid ivy]

Lol using my mouse on a surface without a deskpad or mousepad is some other feeling, but temporary until my deskpad is dry.

[frigid blade]

thats what I used for the cafe fix for their upstairs

[summer wren]

320gb babyy

[dull willow]

WTF i just enabled

[frigid blade]

i still cannot fathom this pc is worth $7k new

[tidal geyser]

did you save and exit

[queen trout]

Why is my fractal north getting more grey by the minute

[tidal geyser]

its not

[dull willow]

yes, f10 right

[frigid blade]

pcpp says it is

[tidal geyser]

people have to buy it at those prices for it to really be the case

aka im lying

people are insane

[summer wren]

Its because of the ram

[tidal geyser]

i dono i just press save and exit and press yes after

[frigid blade]

i mean yah, i bought that 2x64 6400 kit for $1.4k

[tidal geyser]

NAND too

[frigid blade]

but like im ngl it was a really bad purchase

but it has not become a really good purchase because they didnt want it back

[ocean axle]

link?

[frigid blade]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YB8KPJ

[summer wren]

A single set of 32gb ddr4 costs MORE THAN MY ENTIRE SETUP

[tidal geyser]

wanna guess what they got all that ram for?

[ocean axle]

$3400 4090
$1800 of RAM
wtf is this shit?

[tidal geyser]

hmm

[ocean axle]

purpose or price?

[frigid blade]

price

[tidal geyser]

price

[summer wren]

The most expencive thing in my setup is my samsung galaxy tab s6 lite cost like £150 used

[ocean axle]

they said $1400 above, but im guessing more like $500?

[tidal geyser]

that is the new kit and no

[ocean axle]

oh, 2x64 was $1400

[frigid blade]

$242 after taxes

[tidal geyser]

half that

[ocean axle]

per kit, or total?

[frigid blade]

back in april 2025

[tidal geyser]

total

[frigid blade]

total, ebay auction

[ocean axle]

how?

oh, that makes sense

[tidal geyser]

yes 4x48 for 242

[ocean axle]

how about that 4090? i bet you didn't pay $3400 for it

[frigid blade]

$2.5k after taxes for a build with 13900kf and 4090 and 32gb ddr5 and 2tb

[thick furnace]

i tried pressing my switch down to remove my gpu but it won’t budge, how do i fix this

[tidal geyser]

unscrew

[tidal geyser]

on the right

[frigid blade]

I snagged that shit

[ocean axle]

i assume sold the rest and kept the 4090?

[tidal geyser]

what a cursed build

[frigid blade]

i havent sold it yet, but I have that case psu and 13900kf

[thick furnace]

unscrewed chief

[ocean axle]

its caught on a screw

[frigid blade]

i can sell that and my build that I paid more like $3k for becomes $2.5k

thats worth $7k new

[ocean axle]

that pcie latch is open

[thick furnace]

what does that mean

[tidal geyser]

rmeove

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/eject-remove-discharge-gif-23617159

he remove gpu

[ocean axle]

the latch, on the pcie slot, is open (its not holding the card)

[frigid blade]

if the ram gets fixed, I can sell my 4x48 for like $1.5k total because used, the build becomes $1k for $7k new

[unique olive]

I don’t know about that

[ocean axle]

giggle it and pull

[frigid blade]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YB8KPJ

[muted fox]

I'm looking at the ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro

[ocean axle]

"$7k new"

[tidal geyser]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/571373155638050839/1327621071922532432/IMG_0273.gif

[frigid blade]

too late

[ocean axle]

could grab a 5090 instead of a 4090 at that price

[tidal geyser]

i was too

[frigid blade]

im saving that gif

[frigid blade]

idk why its so high listed the 4090

used theyre between $2k and $2.5k depends on if auction or not

[ocean axle]

because the prices on previous gen hardware new is bullshit

[unique olive]

That’s not the 4090 pc you posted a photo of buying or is this what you are building?

[tidal geyser]

feels a bit overkill but meh should be great

[tidal geyser]

what he built

welp its a school night and i need to wake up in 6hrs

[frigid blade]

The picture i posted was what I got for $2.5k and upgraded

[ocean axle]

but also, do you have any need for a PC like that?

mostly the RAM

[tidal geyser]

yes

[frigid blade]

the ram, kinda, its meant to split the 4090 between 4 pcs for 4 users, 3 being vms

[tidal geyser]

multi gaming VM

[unique olive]

I see thought you were saying you could resell that exact pc piece meal for $7k 😭

[frigid blade]

so 4 windows OS takes a bit of ram (and I was hoping 32gb in each)

[muted fox]

overkill is my theme with PC stuff lol. $850 is a ton but not a dealbreaker for the outright best solution that checks all the boxes for something I use as often as my internet\

[ocean axle]

can you do GPU partitioning on a geforce card?

[frigid blade]

yes with some hacky stuff

[tidal geyser]

just so you at least know of it, asus just showed off some of their wifi 8 stuff at CES but that kinda stuff tends to take a good few months to come out and tends to not show any MASSIVE changes

[frigid blade]

https://github.com/DanielChrobak/Hyper-V-GPU-Manager

[tidal geyser]

welp adios

[frigid blade]

Hyper-V lets you set a partition for any card, well most cards, the hacky part is not needing a license for the software to install the drivers @ocean axle which my script gets around by just copying drivers from host to guest

[unique olive]

How much was that ram when you bought it

[frigid blade]

$242

[muted fox]

omg that's always the thing with buying bleeding edge. I think internet is one you can get away with not upgrading for longer. I think full 10G will have me set for many years

[ocean axle]

yea, i thought nvidia bent you over for the ability to do this

[unique olive]

Damn I wish I’d decided to be less of a cheap bastard when I built my server got some ddr5 4x48 at $200 wish id got ecc though the stability would be nice

[frigid blade]

i got lucky

i was only bidding against 2 other people

[ocean axle]

look at ubiquiti stuff. their APs will just mesh, and do ethernet downlink too

i use a U6-LR and couple AC-LRs like this

[frigid blade]

they kinda do until you read the microsoft docs, youre basically just bullshitting the windows os on the vm

[ocean axle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i just use GRID/Tesla cards for my VMs

[frigid blade]

Yah I dont have that money, arent they expensive

[ocean axle]

not if you are buying old ones

[frigid blade]

ah

well its for gaming, so I dont want shitty grid cards

[ocean axle]

im not running A100 vms

[frigid blade]

After tests, I found you can get at least 2 VMs running 1440p 144fps without maxing out the card

GTA 5 and Rainbow Six Siege were the 2 games i was running at once

[unique olive]

Have you figured out if it’s stable at the 6800 expo with 4 dimms

[frigid blade]

5600 g2 but that was back on my old cpu and mobo, I got the 285k and it has the better imc I will test soon

[muted fox]

I was really looking at the ubiquiti stuff but I don't think it's the solution I'm looking for. I really dont care about WiFi at the mesh location, I just want to plug my Apple TV and PC directly into ethernet. The uiqibiti APs are very much wall mounted aps with one ethernet port i want more of a wireless switch

[ocean axle]

plug a switch into the second AP?

ubiquiti also makes p2p stuff, which might work better for what you want

generally that stuff wants line of sight, but thats because its rated for a few km of range

[unique olive]

My kits 5600 cl40 couldn’t do it so I let them run at amd default 3600 since capacity and stability is what matters for my build

[frigid blade]

this was a while back, at least half a year ago, I will definitely test when I move all my parts

[muted fox]

It's not line of sight but it's very close to the router. I don't think a P2P would work. It would have to go through a lot of walls

[frigid blade]

I only have the cpu mobo psu and cpu cooler in the new pc installed

still on the poopier build

[muted fox]

And plugging a switch into the big round AP just seems janky to cram behind my TV console. Sleek is something I'm paying for too. Is there something wrong with the Asus option?

[frigid blade]

im gonna miss multithreading

even though its not much faster and can actually be slower

im feining getting a 5090 so I can say this is the fastest consumer build

[unique olive]

this is what mine is doing 24/7

[frigid blade]

ah, yah i still havent set up the vms

i did the testing a while back and just waiting to finish the whole build

[unique olive]

This ain’t VMs it’s a game server although I do run VMs on it

[frigid blade]

ah

[ocean axle]

expensive

[muted fox]

indeed, what was your proposed setup again?

[ocean axle]

then again, ubiquiti stuff isn't cheap either

[muted fox]

yeah i was looking and ubiquiti setup seemed to be around the same price for a 10G capable router and mesh ap

[ocean axle]

but also, what do you actually need out of this?

do you actually need 10g over a wireless bridge?

[thick furnace]

should i take this thing a majig off before putting it in the slot thingy

idk if it’s a sticker or not @linus

[muted fox]

yeah it's overkill. I have a bunch of nice PCs and transfer 60gb blu ray rips between them and it would be cool to have the best. I'm upgrading to 5 gigabit internet and just want it haha. $1000 and I'm set forever on internet is something I'm willing to pay for

[thick furnace]

help

do i take the thingy off

[unique olive]

No

[ocean axle]

you would be transferring these over the wireless bridge?

[grizzled frost]

leave it on

[frigid blade]

@tidal geyser https://www.ebay.com/itm/317725677867 this was the listing, I dont think any pads are damaged ( sent because photos )

[muted fox]

yeah I have been. I have a PC connected to my TV but I cant run ethernet there

[grizzled frost]

you can always run ethernet, you simply lack determination

[ocean axle]

why not stream from the server?

[frigid blade]

MoCA or Ethernet over Powerline

[thick furnace]

is that black square thing supposed to be crooked

[grizzled frost]

doesn't matter

[unique olive]

[ocean axle]

im mostly arguing against spending that much on wireless stuff, can get stuff that'll do at least hundreds of mbps, if not just cap the ethernet at 1gbps for much much cheaper if you dont need 10g wireless

[grizzled frost]

looks like a little piece of foam to support the M.2 anyways

[tidal geyser]

Gummy

[muted fox]

no cable and I looked into powerline once and i abanonded it cause my house has ancient wiring and my router and TV aren't on the same breaker

[tidal geyser]

But yeah it's fine and meant to be there

[night delta]

2021 PC's still relevant baby

[ocean axle]

then again, if you want it, go for it i guess

i dont have much room to talk, i have a 100gbps switch

[tidal geyser]

I got 10 gig stuff, 100% not worth it for me

[muted fox]

because it doesn't work or you dont use it or what

[ocean axle]

notable that i have the hardware to utilize that too, my server can sustain 20GB/s read from disk

[ocean axle]

probably just underutilized

[tidal geyser]

No need 1gig did everything I needed

My own sever could not even do 10 gig

Technically

[muted fox]

im a programmer and work on a lot of projects and remote into PCs around my house. I play around with AI and need to download 40+ gb files all the time. Currently i will get the full 1 gigabit download speed and it will suck up all the bandwith and everything else cant load lol. I download a lot of 60gb movies and move them around. I do a lot with huge datasets, just random projects and I'm very many years into my computer hobby and like the have the latest and greatest lol

[ocean axle]

ok, yes, but over the wireless bridge?

[tidal geyser]

Something has sad qos

[muted fox]

is there a sleek solution that can do 10g router and 1g mesh point, just get the 16 pro and another compatilble mesh router

[ocean axle]

oh, you were looking for a combo box?

i assumed you needed just a wireless bridge

[muted fox]

yeah my current router cant do 10g so im upgrading that too

[ocean axle]

i use an MS-01 and OPNsense for my router, it'll pass 25g between vlans like its nothing, which is wonderful

[muted fox]

that's like a build it yourself router setup?

[ocean axle]

basically

its just a computer running a specific OS, with a fast NIC in it

ofc, its only a router, so no switch or AP built in

[muted fox]

i love that, i dont think I care that much about routers though i just want them to work haha

[ocean axle]

router/firewall

[muted fox]

the MS-01 is cute though I haven't seen this

[ocean axle]

unsure then for a router that'll do 10g off the shelf

[muted fox]

it's like a very beefy nuc?

[ocean axle]

its just a 25g mellanox nic in mine

those are like, $30 i think

[ocean axle]

but you also dont need a router that can do 10g unless you have 10g internet

[muted fox]

an ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro??

do they make 5g routers

[ocean axle]

i have no experience with ASUS networking products

[muted fox]

haha im just talking at this point

[ocean axle]

and id be skeptical of any consumer product actually doing 10g internet

it has a 10g WAN, but i wouldn't be surprised if it cant filter and pass 10g

[muted fox]

I've had the ROG Rapture GT6 setup for years and it's awesome, but i wanna go 10g since i'm getting the faster internet

[ocean axle]

what speed is the faster internet?

[muted fox]

5 gigabit

[ocean axle]

fun

you will actually need something decent as a router then

[muted fox]

isn't that crazyyy, i didn't know u could even get residential internet that fast and my small town isp just said it's available now

[ocean axle]

id imagine its 5x1? or is it 5x5?

[muted fox]

what does that mean

[ocean axle]

5 down 1 up or 5 down 5 up

[muted fox]

it's 5 up and down

i have 30 mb up rn lmao

[civic ferry]

system drive just DIED
everything on it is LOST
it doesn't show up in Windows
but
since we just got the new drive its ok because
we copied everything over
and its as if nothing ever happened

im feeling it now mr crabs
insane luck

[humble night]

that looks like Cox

[long goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/les-miserables-russell-crowe-javert-peek-policeman-gif-17146587

[muted fox]

omg i hate cox

[humble night]

I currently have cox. awful ISP

[ivory mountain]

oh the isp

[long goblet]

fuck cox. they're the only game in town here.

[turbid plank]

hello, ive had some weird issues with my pc lately, what are some good tools i can use to check whether there are any hardware issues, im using linux but i can also use windows programs

[long goblet]

memtest86+

[ivory mountain]

what kind of issues

[long goblet]

prime95

[humble night]

There's unfortunately no one near me that does gig other than cox. everyone else is 50mb and down.
The moment anything becomes available im switching.

[long goblet]

i'll take symmetric 50 mbit fiber over gigabit cable any fucking day.

[turbid plank]

the bottom of my monitor sometimes has like one pixel line of rgb flicker when running my monitor at 240hz 4k. It does not vanish if i switch cables, i do not think it is a gpu hardware issue because it is just on one monitor at the very bottom, butim unsure

i recently upgraded my PSU to 1000w and got a rx 7900xt

[humble night]

Only in 240 4k?

[long goblet]

i had symmetric 50 mbit fiber in 2016, with fios. soooo much fucking better than cable.

[turbid plank]

at least when i changed it from 240hz to 120hz it stopped

after i turned the pc off fully, like full capacitor psu reset

and the rgb line vanished so i am really unsure what it is

because now it has appeared twice+

[long goblet]

do you have any other monitor capable of doing 240 hz?

or 240 hz 4k?

[turbid plank]

no, max ii have is a 1440p 180hz

[long goblet]

then you don't know if it's not a monitor issue.

[turbid plank]

i have 3 monitors connected, 1440p 180hz, 4k 240hz and 1080p 60hz

[turbid plank]

it doesnt show up when in the login screen of the OS or in the smart menu of that monitor

[humble night]

are you using a high quality display cable?

[long goblet]

smart menu of the monitor isn't going to be a 4k 240hz.

the issue is likely transit between the monitor and the computer.

[turbid plank]

i think i do, i used the one that came with the monitor and i already tried switching to another when the issue first arose

[turbid plank]

ok another question, is there a way to make sure it is not a gpu hardware issue as i cant afford to lose that and right now i could still RMA it

[humble night]

What monitor do you have?

[turbid plank]

Samsung Odyssey G8 Oled 32inch with the issue, Lg Ultragear 27in 1440 165hz in vertical, and a Huion Gt-220 8192

[long goblet]

with another 240 hz, 4k monitor

and another displayport cable.

[turbid plank]

well i can buy that

[turbid plank]

that may be a bit above my pay grade to just source for troubleshooting

[weak osprey]

Or you could plug it into any tv or monitor and see if the issue still occurs :3

[long goblet]

mix & match until you get a working signal. if you don't with all 4 combos, it's (possibly) the GPU.

[turbid plank]

wait can i send videos in here

[latent gull]

Probably wanna do it on #1027757333117415424

[weak osprey]

I do not believe so :((

[turbid plank]

i could

[weak osprey]

You have to make a channel there and it’s scary lol

[turbid plank]

its not really that important to open a whole thread

if noone has like a side idea on it then its not worth it

[latent gull]

No you just have to make a post, and it’s easier to keep everything together instead of flooding this chat with media

[long goblet]

what would videos of an artifacting display give us? I believe you, the display is artifacting, but that doesn't help us narrow it down to what component is causing the issue.

[turbid plank]

if it's truly necessary i can..

[turbid plank]

it cant do more than not help

[steel umbra]

i still can’t get over this 😂

[turbid plank]

maybe the specific location can give something away

[weak osprey]

What on earth is ai smoking

[humble night]

does it show if you have HDR turned off?

[turbid plank]

yes

i have tried that

[steel umbra]

gemini in 2026 be liek

[long goblet]

what's the issue?

[weak osprey]

Does the display still have the issue in a lower hz

[turbid plank]

no, 120hz removed the artifact

[long goblet]

oh, it fails at math

[frigid blade]

all quick response models suck

[long goblet]

36 kg/km = 36 g/m

[humble night]

Try a better cable first that's gonna be your cheapest / quickest test

[steel umbra]

30-60kg/km equals to 0.03-0.06g/m according to gemini

[turbid plank]

I have done that

[weak osprey]

Cable :3

[turbid plank]

I switched my two monitor cables

[steel umbra]

here you have chatgpt

[turbid plank]

how certain :o

[long goblet]

yeah, fails at cancelling

[weak osprey]

Were they both DP?

[turbid plank]

Yes

[frigid blade]

are they the free ones?

[vague glacier]

how fuckin long is rufus supposed to take

[steel umbra]

yes

[turbid plank]

Like why would that small line appear over insufficient cable

[turbid plank]

Use ventoy ! And just put the iso on the drive

[frigid blade]

yah, quick response model, poopy

[weak osprey]

Idk if there’s a dp 2 vs 1 or whatever but it really sounds like insufficient bandwidth

[steel umbra]

i doubt even paid would get it consistently right

[frigid blade]

whats the answer?

[steel umbra]

1.86kg

[humble night]

oh, I figured it was across the entire bottom of the screen.

[turbid plank]

I figured it would like black screen then, not do that.. but I can buy a better DP cable I suppose

[turbid plank]

No literally just a tiny rgb line

It’s not unusable in this state, still annoying

[frigid blade]

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/800m-of-awg23-copper-wire-to-k-Noily1WDTbCRHCNm8gHpWw#0

thats gpt 5.2 without reasoning

[weak osprey]

Look into if they are both the same standard ❤️ and alsooo see what happens if you stream your screen to a friend with the same settings :))))

[vague glacier]

can I make a live usb with it. I just want to briefly boot into windows to fix a firmware problem on my kubuntu thinkpad

[turbid plank]

I need to stop using ai

[long goblet]

so I TA'ed for math courses a year+ ago. By the end of my PhD program, ~50% of undergrad students were sending in homework done by ChatGPT.

The professor didn't want to fail 50% of the class. So guess what, ChatGPT is now sufficient to pass university classes.

[frigid blade]

why

[turbid plank]

Yes, you can put multiple isos on it and then just switch at boot

Because it sucks and everytime I use it I feel more and more like an imposter in my field

https://github.com/DanielChrobak/WebRTC-Remote-Desktop

This is made 99% by AI

[turbid plank]

Ad brain degradation

[weak osprey]

You can say it don’t exist but look at meeeee lol

[frigid blade]

Its chrome remote desktop but better

[weak osprey]

It’s just using all the Google it can reach lol

[tired bear]

[vague glacier]

AI is doodoo for problem solving things that matter but I'm enjoying it for fixing linux problems as a nub

[turbid plank]

I’ll buy a better Dp cable if it shows up again I’ll cry. I can do the software check but it didn’t show up on screenshots

[frigid blade]

Youre using the wrong ones for problem solving

Especially in programming, Opus 4.5 and GPT 5.2 with reasoning are pretty good at problem solving

[tired bear]

no u

[weak osprey]

It won’t show >3

[turbid plank]

the art of googling is a skill in itself that should not just be disregarded

[vague glacier]

You don't understand what I said.

It is doodoo because you are supposed to use your brain for problem solving

[weak osprey]

Aldonist.party

[turbid plank]

but didn’t you say to stream ?

[turbid plank]

Hard agree

[weak osprey]

To prove to yourself that it’s an issue with the cable or the monitor so ur less stressed

[latent gull]

aldonist? name i havent seen in a hot minute

[turbid plank]

The only thing I’m stressed is the gpu, I know it’s not the monitor, everything else idc about

[frigid blade]

whats the answer?

[steel umbra]

wrong chat

[frigid blade]

well what was the answer and what did it say?

[turbid plank]

ai made me use 7 year old ddr4 ram 😔

[frigid blade]

youre proably using the sonar model

[latent gull]

ai didnt make you do anything

[steel umbra]

i’m looking it to make a 10x mistake or :10

[frigid blade]

did it make the mistake?

[turbid plank]

Ai made me have to prevent my grandparents for falling for fake ads
