[plain cypress]

Yeah, it's the ugly enterprise

Why are the nacelles so.... tiny

[swift stream]

i want an lcd screenuhhh

[azure topaz]

new me version

[latent gull]

The D looks okay, I think it’s better than the A

[steel umbra]

buy a case with an lcd screen, they’re much larger

[plain cypress]

New year, new you ♥️

[azure topaz]

i think i should install

[latent gull]

What’s the usss?

[formal sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/why-huh-but-why-gif-13199396

[swift stream]

but look lower resolution

[azure topaz]

im on 3.14 but people said this bios had like 3 ver out of date me

[steel umbra]

maybe ppi but overall no

[sinful cobalt]

no rgb supremacy

[azure topaz]

is that a prime 5070ti

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[azure topaz]

youre so cute

we're twinning :3

[sinful cobalt]

floppa it was literally the box shown in the closet

[ocean axle]

I'm actually going to correct myself, it appears I was wrong about the naming in Star Trek
I thought the trek ships were all USSS (StarShip)

[swift stream]

i don't like rgb but like lcd, and i already have armoury crate so

[sinful cobalt]

in between the B580 and 5090 box dawg

[latent gull]

Idk, that’s the enterprise I grew up with in TNG, so I have no complaints. The Abram’s one might’ve looked nicer but I prefer the TNG one

[azure topaz]

shut UP i am BLIND

[plain cypress]

Is the prime cooler physically compatible with those cases designed around 40-series proart

[azure topaz]

what are you referencing ;:sob

[plain cypress]

So the star trek I grew up with is Galaxy quest

[azure topaz]

okay everyone hold your breath im updating my bios

[latent gull]

Galaxy quest is the best Star Trek movie, but TNG is still better

[steel umbra]

unplug while it’s halfway done

[azure topaz]

it’s going ham

[mellow sonnet]

im cutting the power

[ocean axle]

cvn-65 best Enterprise, fucking fight me

[plain cypress]

My favorite star trek media is probably strange new worlds
Lower decks is basically tied tho

And of course, the Orville is my fav

[sinful cobalt]

its a really cool card

[azure topaz]

i got battery back up

[azure topaz]

surprisingly decent at cooling i did not expect

[mellow sonnet]

i ate the battery

[latent gull]

I believe it’s just united starship, USS, cause it’s the united federation, I remember USSS being a thing in something but I don’t think it was Star Trek

[latent gull]

The Orville is great, but can’t beat TNG, it’s probably tied with DS9 for second though

[ocean axle]

Yup, I found that, I was wrong on it being USSS

[sinful cobalt]

Optimally I should have it at a 2.75 slot config, but Im gonna do a 2.5 one which is just nice, in hopes I can stuff a 60mm fan for the ram

[latent gull]

I don’t remember what USSS is from though but I remember it

[mellow sonnet]

the orville will supposedly get a new season this year

[ocean axle]

I still stand by that CVN-65 is the best USS Enterprise

[mellow sonnet]

it has been in the works since january 2025

[sinful cobalt]

Im likely to get a 265K/270K B860I, since after novalake its gonna be transferred into yet another smaller case that has smaller cooler compatibility

[plain cypress]

B series 😡

[copper galleon]

got 2 sticks of 8gb DDR4 Ram

how much should I sell it for

[plain cypress]

Also where the fuck was my arrow lake refresh announcement, Intel

[sinful cobalt]

still get elevated boost clock and its cheaper than non K

[steel umbra]

they successfully stopped your consumerism 🤝

[plain cypress]

Assholes

Only I can stop it

[azure topaz]

my shit EXPLODED.

[ocean axle]

who cares about arrow to the knee, where was my celestial announcement Intel?

[latent gull]

Nimitz >, but also nah the ncc 1701e is probably the cleanest

[plain cypress]

I hope this is sarcasm

It's only been a year since battlemage

Shit takes time 💀

[azure topaz]

nah we good

[ocean axle]

I like Enterprise (65) because it has 8 reactors

[plain cypress]

I fully expect any celestial product to be TSMC

[latent gull]

I thought we were just going off of looks though

[ocean axle]

Looks, Ford class

The ooo that's cool I like 65 having 8 reactors

I'm also a bit partial to the midway class

[latent gull]

Ford and Nimitz look so close i see them as kinda the same. Midway I like after the angled deck refit

I don’t really like the old single runway designs

[ocean axle]

For puts the superstructure further back

[ocean axle]

I tbf, I really meant the Midway as it is today

I'm a bit partial to that one, because I've been on it

[latent gull]

Yeah, the midway with the angled deck

[ocean axle]

it's a museum now

[latent gull]

The fact that ww2 ships, and even a ww1 ship are still afloat today is insane

[ocean axle]

Glares at the USS Texas

[latent gull]

No no we love the Texas

No glares

[ocean axle]

floods balast tanks on one side to lean back and shoot further

[latent gull]

And by that point she was 30 years old already

[gentle kestrel]

twice would've been crazy

is there a way to view image thumbnails in file explorer larger than "extra large icons"

[cold skiff]

Scaling 200%

[stable beacon]

i like my taskbar the way it is though 🥀

i did not in fact work it just made the menus bigger

[cold skiff]

Dayumn

Was worth a try.

[jolly moth]

ok im kinda eyeing this up - seems like a pretty decent pc
that is 1780 usd

its between that and these two

[cold skiff]

What kind of dollars is this

Tbfh in 2026 having multiple variations of dollars still is pissing annoying

[jolly moth]

1780 usd, 1600 usd, 1550 usd

[jolly moth]

new zealand

[cold skiff]

I’d get the 4070ti.

[jolly moth]

upgrading from a fried 3070 and i5 10400f

[cold skiff]

It might have slightly slower ram. But the 3d vcache in games you’ll barely notice the difference in performance.

And you can always try to manually tune to 6000 if you want

[jolly moth]

that reasonable pricing tho?

those are the cheapest systems I could find at that performance level - and that performance level is kinda the cheapest per fps for sale atm used

[cold skiff]

Considering the ram market and the fact x3d cpus hold their value. Yes. It’s around £1400 for me which is around £400 (200 without ram increasss) cheaper new

[violet briar]

I have a 3080 and 5600x3d, can anyone suggest a mobo+psu?

And a good fan for my cpu

[thin bloom]

My current pc when the 80 dollar psu blows up

[sinful cobalt]

SPL psu tier list, virtually any B550 board that has the amt of USB and expansion slots you want, and basically any thermalright cooler

[cold skiff]

Please remember to pay more for your PSU than your CPU cooler

[stable beacon]

i remember when a good psu was $70 in like 2021/2022

like the same exact spec model but not $120+

[cold skiff]

MF be out there like “got this AIO for $300” with a E tier PSU for 50 bucks holding up their 300w gpu

[stable beacon]

corsair user

https://tenor.com/view/does-he-know-stupid-is-he-stupid-he-is-riddler-gif-1064212065141466323

[thin bloom]

What wattage rating and material? Mine is 1000W 80+ gold but as of right now pc only draws maybe 200 to 300 wats

[cold skiff]

What? My psu is Corsair. It’s actually worth its weight in gold as it’s saved my system. The ram? Yeah my Corsair ram was probably a mistake. Anything else Corsair I hate tbfh

[stable beacon]

the only reason my psu is $150 and my cooler is $30 is because it's 850w sfx and the other one is a thermalright air cooler

[stable beacon]

corsair rgb aio*

i have a corsair 850w sfx right now, but i also have corsair ddr4

[cold skiff]

Hold up while I find out how much this PSU costs me at the time

[stable beacon]

i'm just lucky i saved up 32gb in the first place

[jovial swan]

Of these laptops which ones will do best for gaming (warthunder, hearts of iron and BF6)

my other psu before i downsized was a msi a650gf

that was $70 in 2022

[thin bloom]

I hate I lost the com battery in the case. I think it is on top of the psu?

[cold skiff]

This PSU saved my system from over 200 static discharges from a small screw hitting between the backside of motherboard and case over 2 years. I think I will be buying Corsair again.. like I have since 2004.

[stable beacon]

i used to have a noctua nh-d15 but i switched to a smaller case, so i put it in my second lga 2011 pc because it had a native 20xx mount

[thin bloom]

Yo some time we should play warthunder together. If not I'm fine not playing with you

[stable beacon]

i also have another corsair, it came with the x79 system but it's about 12 years old now

[cold skiff]

I mean it’s my fucking fault building a rig without realising a small screw was behind it. First time in over 20 years I been that dumb. That PSU though, has absolutely saved this build over and over.

[stable beacon]

corsair hx750

[cold skiff]

£110 for the PSU. My cooler cost £60. I know which one was the better investment

Old Corsair PSUs were built different. For the time they were great, but now the specs are shocking tbh

[violet briar]

Im looking st the cz-m cz750m rn

[cold skiff]

Even the cheap shit ones

[violet briar]

For Cx*

[thin bloom]

Good thing though it did show the screen that said it lost it's com

[violet briar]

Uneless yall can just suggest one for a mid build, this list is alot 🫃🏽

[stable beacon]

i think mine was semi modular i don't remember but when my cousin gave the system to me he used molex to 6 pin adapters for hiss gpu and his ssd was so worn out i could barely detect it in disk management

[cold skiff]

Anything B tier and above

[stable beacon]

i'm assuming you already gave them the chart?

[cold skiff]

I remember using those molex connectors. The helped kill one of my builds

[jovial swan]

I wouldnt mind, how many hrs ya got?

[cold skiff]

I assumed they have it as they said the list is so big.

[stable beacon]

i'm surprised the gpu works, it wouldn't give me a video output when i first fired it up

[stable beacon]

wikipedia is huge but you can expect some people haven't read through certain things

[cold skiff]

Funny thing is my molex adapter powered gpu didn’t kill my rig in 2004. It was my +40% cpu overclock that eventually got the PSU to burst into flames

1ghz to 1.4ghz stable for 18months until it took down the rig

[stable beacon]

i've heard of the same chart being a little too old, but this is as of 2023 (god it's been 3 years? 😭)

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

i'd just say if it has a wattage of at least 650, gold rated, and comfortably priced it should be good until you get close to that load

[cold skiff]

Never trust that

You will by thermaltake or gamemax based on that opinion and think ya okay

[thin bloom]

I have 214.6 hours and if I remember right rank 3 or 4. I recently got a tank but don't have enough money to buy it. I don't play the game that often. I started playing in 2023. I then quit for a year or a few months because I didn't know how to play at the time and kept my tanks full amo and dieing very fast

[jovial swan]

Damn, i got 2200 hours xd. I play every day and have done since september 2023

[thin bloom]

Your around maybe 2,000 hours off my fortnite play time. When I get my pc back up and running I should see how much hours I have. I know I have 4,000 to 5,000 hours in total

Someone I played warthunder with said he had around 6,000 hours on warthunder. He used new accounts since he got board of his main account and others that he made

[azure topaz]

google spl psu tier list

[sinful cobalt]

these mfs on thousands of hours

get a load of these guys kids with hella free time

[cold skiff]

I’ve probably got more than 20k hours in CS. And I’ve always been shit

Fuck man I could even have 30 or 40k

[dense escarp]

and i thought having 4k hours in a game was already alot

[cold skiff]

WON never tracked hours and steam always reset hours over the decades

[hollow grail]

[thin bloom]

I be getting a new job soon. If my parents let's me drive the used truck they just bought or when I get the fuilds and wiring fixed on my truck

One of my classmates has more time in their current rank than my entire playtime on valorant

[jovial swan]

I had around 8.2k hours on Fortnite untill i lost my account in 2022 (had been playing since July 2017, before BR came out)

[sinful cobalt]

Hell just in 1 valorant act he has 200 hours in that rank, thats like my 2077 and E33 playthrough combined and x2

Also jesus this laptop is suddenly slow

[cold skiff]

That’s next level student. I commend him.

[sinful cobalt]

hes still ass btw

[thin bloom]

I started 3 days before the cube event back in chapter one. I started on a switch

[cold skiff]

I used to be good at pubg to be fair

I was like what, 29/30 playing with the top players. Alas, I grew up at 30.

[molten sleet]

i can only wish to stay young as long as you did

[cold skiff]

Make several career choices with misplaced loyalty and you will

Well, several, like 2

Maybe 3…

Although in fairness I’d probably be working for Krafton now if i didn’t have such a large personality and actually wanted to stay indoors and design a game

That one was more personal choice on not wanting to stay in my house 24/7 but in hindsight, was the best career option

[thin bloom]

I love that my parents don't know shit about pc's. My mom thought a gpu was a cpu. Then today when I got the rx 5600 xt I told her that's a gpu and she said in a confused voice and pointed "that's a gpu?" Then I explained best as i can what a gpu and cpu is

[cold skiff]

Well there is a 5600XT in both to be fair

[dense escarp]

try selling PCs for a livng to ppl like that everyday

[fickle ivy]

I have had like 5 game crashes in the past half hour 😒

[cold skiff]

Wait gamer how old are you

[dense escarp]

driver issues? temps? hardware issues?

[thin bloom]

Have you checked gpu temp when under load?

[fickle ivy]

It's not something that anything's gonna fix it's just that I'm running on the worst device known to man

[cold skiff]

Many of us in here are probably old enough to be your parents. So on behalf of our generation, born before the revolution and grew up with it. We apologise for your parents inabilities.

[violet briar]

I think ill commit on this unless yall think anything there isnt worth

[cold skiff]

It looks good to be fair

I’m gonna do the Us thing though

Ya got a micro center near?

looks fine to me

[dense escarp]

i do (:

Haha 3 hours from me unfortunately

[woeful phoenix]

Arctic freezer 36 mogs the peerless assassin

[violet briar]

What do yall use to clean old thermal past?

[dense escarp]

iso

[woeful phoenix]

Alcohol and microfiber cloth

[azure topaz]

a single tower with 4 heat pipes mogs a 6 (maybe 7) heatpipe dual tower?

i uhhhh dont think so homie

its also direct heatpipe theres no way

[woeful phoenix]

Yes because it doesnt have the ugly as fuck fan clips

What are we stuck in 2010

[violet briar]

What kind of alcohol? Sorry to sound dumb I use to buy wipes

[violet briar]

Specifically for cleaning it

[woeful phoenix]

Any isopropyl

[azure topaz]

yep thats a 4 heatpipe single tower

[dense escarp]

isopropyl

[azure topaz]

i bet it could cool about 120w

[sinful cobalt]

isopropyl 75% and above

[cold skiff]

Spit and elbow grease

[woeful phoenix]

Cools my 9800x3d great and looks good while doing it

[cold skiff]

Sometimes a hair dryer also needed

[thin bloom]

What the specs and games your trying to run?

[woeful phoenix]

I fucking hate fan clips

[cold skiff]

Only fan clips are more liked

[fickle ivy]

I3 7100u and automation on minimum graphics 720p

[cold skiff]

[dense escarp]

yeah do a quick stress test if u running amd cpu so it wont stick to the cooler

[thin bloom]

Yeah that's a heavy gpu game. My pc's old gpu went to 100% to run the game at max graphics. I'm guessing your on a shity laptop that only has integrated graphics?

[woeful phoenix]

3c difference.

It used to cost $25 too 🙁

I bought mine for $25, only for it to jump up to $50 a month later

[fickle ivy]

Yep

[shell vortex]

does anyone here play forza horizon 5?

if yes, can you explain the appeal of the game? why is it so popular. i am trying to enjoy it but i cant, and i dont understand what there is to it. it seems like you just drive. is that all there is to do? what is the point of the game (outside of being a good looking driving sim)

[thin bloom]

Hope the base model of the 3080 I'm getting eventually won't cause problems. I have asked Google so many times yesterday how dad of bottleneck I would get with the i7-7700k at max graphics on a few games that I play and it said I would maybe see around 200 to maybe below 60 fps

[woeful phoenix]

Its an arcade racer. Thats the entire point of the game. Its not even a driving sim

You build up your favorite cars and just race. Thats it. Sadly they dont have a lot of my favorite cars

[thin bloom]

Yeah what he said^

[thin bloom]

Don't forget making decals for the vehicle's

[woeful phoenix]

Never got into that part of the game but if youre a creative person I could see it

[thin bloom]

I have seen some interesting decals

https://tenor.com/view/soldier-ww2-traumatized-meme-eyes-gif-12257475272172704406

[shell vortex]

i understand an arcade racer being fun. like the ones you find in a literal arcade. those make sense to me. or something like mario kart or asphalt or that kinda game. but this doesnt have anything that those have. what am i missing?

[woeful phoenix]

It quite literally is an arcade racer. In those games you race to just race.

[long goblet]

I have spent the better part of a weekend trying to get windows 11 to work stably on my computer. After boot, it crashes randomly between a fraction of a second, to up to 30 minutes. It will crash, it's just a matter of when.

I can not understand why Microsoft chose to foist this bag of shit on us. It is not a usable operating system. It is the worst product they have ever made. A worse operating system than 8, Worse than Vista, worse than ME. A worse piece of software than MS Bob, which while it wasn't useful, at least was stable.

I gave up, and went back to windows 10. Fuck you Microsoft, you wasted my weekend.

[neon vapor]

is this something i can just plug into a computer and connect to a router over distance?

[shell vortex]

there are like boosts and whacky jumps and shit like that. with insane tracks. none of the appeal of those games are in fh5

[thin bloom]

I can't wait for the 6th forza game to come out. Hope it's good and not bad as 5th game on release was I heard about later on

[woeful phoenix]

Its gonna be in japan

Def gonna be the biggest one yet

[thin bloom]

I know

[thin bloom]

What you mean?

[woeful phoenix]

I hope they got a fairly large catalogue of cars. If they have gen 3 camaro ill buy it

[woeful phoenix]

People have wanted forza to be in japan since forza came out. Also its maps gonna be huge.

[thin bloom]

Ask Google and see what Google says

[shell vortex]

what aspect of the game are you excited to play? is it not just the same plain driving on the street?

[woeful phoenix]

Holy shit man people play games to play games

You wont be crucified for not liking a game dude.

[shell vortex]

i get that im just tryna understand why people enjoy this one. and tryna enjoy it myself. are people really just driving on the street? how is that fun

seems to be a really popular game

[thin bloom]

I just can't wait to see what the map is going to look like and what vehicles are going to be in it and the story missions

[woeful phoenix]

Same way people find flight sims and truck sims fun. Because they do.

[woeful phoenix]

Hopefully it actuall has a fucking story this time although I doubt it

[shell vortex]

truck sims are fun because they are difficult and require careful balance and control. and its very rewarding to finish a run because of that.

if its the story thats compelling, thats something else. is it?

[thin bloom]

Don't forget plan sims we're people sit for hours flying a fake plan across the world

[woeful phoenix]

Youre driving a truck. Its not engaging.

[thin bloom]

And spend over 1,000 usd on a flight rig just to play one game

[woeful phoenix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8fm1yqbPA4

[shell vortex]

like if you took the driving of forza, and put it in cyberpunks world. i understand then. the driving itself is not the game, but its a part of the game.

[woeful phoenix]

6 hours of fake driving

[thin bloom]

What about beamng drive? It's a fun driving game

[latent gull]

No difference between racing games and truck sims

[shell vortex]

this is also something else. i think these are people that mentally pretend they are driving trucks. like its calming for them to pretend to drive trucks. that i can also understand. these kinda people also buy steering wheels for their desk and stuff.

[woeful phoenix]

I mean besides the time, tracks, location, speed, etc...

[latent gull]

I meant in the context of it being engaging

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/skill-issue-jann-gif-2557756115687315005

[latent gull]

What about it

[woeful phoenix]

God if only we had a real racing sim that could do this

All these racing games too scared to destroy known brands

[shell vortex]

almost every other driving game makes sense to me why people like it. and i can enjoy those aspects of it. i just dont understand forza. is these some hidden skill to driving better that makes you win races, and therefore its competitive? and thats why people like it? in that case why are so many of the players just offline driving nowhere

[woeful phoenix]

Its gotta be engagement bait

Chronically online person finds out people play games they like for fun and thats it.

[sinful cobalt]

Theres multiple reasons why the car started flying, and rules were changed to prevent such incidents from happening again. I believe this one had to do with the underbody

[shell vortex]

its not. like if it actually had MY car (not a 100k racecar) and the map was something that looks or litteraly was similar to the area i drive in. i would probably enjoy it. but its not either of those things

[sinful cobalt]

Mark Webber was flying in that CLK and in F1

[latent gull]

How you gonna say they’re chronically online since they don’t enjoy your game, but you’ve been talking about not liking the other one?

[shell vortex]

most people can explain why they find the games they play fun. like i get it, you enjoy it and have fun... why??

[woeful phoenix]

Are you trolling? I dont like the game, hes been dogging on it for like 20 minutes. Im saying you dont need a reason to like it.

I gave the other example of flying and driving sims to show that people just like what they like.

Im not gonna sit here and beg people to make me like a game.

[sinful cobalt]

AC evo has really fun driving

[woeful phoenix]

I hate baldurs gate. I hate Expedition 33.

Didnt beg anyone to make me like it, never shit on anyone for liking it.

[latent gull]

There should definitely be a reason for liking a game

[sinful cobalt]

If you’ve tried the game and really dont like it I’ve nothing to say

[latent gull]

Yeah this tracks

[sinful cobalt]

I personally loved Cyberpunk 2077 and Expedition 33, but didnt like GOW

[woeful phoenix]

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the best games of all time IMO. Some people hate it with a passion. Different strokes for different folks.

[shell vortex]

i also cant get into either of those games. but i understand why people like them. for me e33 the combat doesnt work. if it was real time combat i would like it. honestly same for bg3 but it also has other issues like the top down view (on keyboard)

[latent gull]

God of war I’ve heard good things about but I still don’t understand the actual gameplay, I’ve only seen cutscenes. No idea what the gameplay is

[woeful phoenix]

Hack and slash

[shell vortex]

the gameplay is basic combat + occasional puzzles. and then there are cutscenes. that makes up the whole game

[sinful cobalt]

yeah thats my exact thoughts

[warm fern]

friends laptop screen is shwoing like this
does anyone know what the cause might be?

[woeful phoenix]

The worst part about GOW was how the difficulty just scaled with health

Makes playing at higher difficulties a slog

[latent gull]

Haxors

[woeful phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-film-gif-8136968606609759629

Red pill or blue pill

[sinful cobalt]

Personally I just slap on story difficulty because I dont wanna go through extra time to fight mobs

Unless the combat’s REALLY good like in cyberpunk

GOW was boring the shit outta me

[shell vortex]

it should always take the same amount of hits to kill an enemy, no matter the difficulty. the difference should be the damage you take or parry window etc. some games just make the whole game longer when its on a harder difficulty. like the difficulty increases enemy health. thats awful

[latent gull]

@gloomy sleet I think this dude plays it

[jovial swan]

https://www.tradera.com/item/710676787

Is this a good system?

[sinful cobalt]

tbh FH5’s map is boring

[woeful phoenix]

Forza needs a city to be good I think. Thats why Im so excited for tokyo

[sinful cobalt]

I’d rather be driving on Assetto Corsa Evo’s Nurburging and soon to be, free roam

[latent gull]

Perfect example of difficulty scaling enemy HP is e33, means you can’t brute force through fights and you have to get good at the actual combat to survive and win the combats

[shell vortex]

basically i just spent hours downloading this massive ass game 100gb+. only to load it up and it feels like meh.

[sinful cobalt]

fh4 map feels more alive whilst fh5 feel duller

maybe bcs fh5 has way more open spaces, ive never played the game, only watched on YT

forza motorsport is ass, all the cars feel the same

[latent gull]

Vehicle games in general are boring. Is there not enough time wasted with driving daily already?

[shell vortex]

so playing on harder difficulty just artificially elongates the games playtime?

better idea - enemy always takes 15 hits to kill (for example). easy difficulty has massive parry window and maybe better odds in your favor. harder difficulty is tight window and you need to have a better grip on the combat system to win. not that it should litteraly take 3x the time to beat it because its "harder"

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/mf-ghost-mfghost-mfg-initial-d-initiald-gif-6584199499268354600

[latent gull]

No, because the satisfaction of the game comes directly from getting reliably good at beating the enemies, and some enemies have alternate gimmicks that come into play using that larger health pool on the harder difficulty, such as the super bosses, who have very unique fight gimmicks that wouldn’t work with your suggested system

It also drives the pace of the game

Due to being able to just literally do larger amounts of damage later in the game, it locks areas and fights behind the idea of “technically you can do this fight if your good enough, or you can come back when you do 10x more damage and it’s way easier”

Are these ok laptop specs for a laptop that costs 6999 DKK/1090 USD

[tidal geyser]

No

[wanton flume]

@tidal geyser sorry if I sound like a dumbass but the usb is finished downloading do I just boot from the uief or whatever and just keep going

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[wanton flume]

Thanks bro

[jovial swan]

Costs of pc in Danish currency 🥀

[tidal geyser]

Get the first laptop you looked at all the way in the beginning, you are really going to prefer having 32GB ram in these times.

[tidal geyser]

Dkk

[jovial swan]

I know, but im having second doubts due to the fact idk how well it would perform in warthunder and hoi4

[shell vortex]

idk i had other issues with the game that made me drop it way before it got hard. and i never got an understanding of the combat system. so maybe it works in that game. but i have seen other games high difficulties totally ruined by the difficulty increase just increasing the enemy health. as for e33 i wish someone can mod it to be a live combat instead of turn based. i do not have the patience to wait while an ai is taking a turn. that shit is not for me. the story/setting everything else works for me

[jovial swan]

Yep PCs cost alot here

[latent gull]

You’re asking for a mod that would rework the entire gameplay loop of the game, there’s just no point in playing it at that point.

[tidal geyser]

Ain't hoi 4 mobile game

[wanton flume]

@tidal geyser :D itvworked

[jovial swan]

No? Dafuq?

[wanton flume]

I’m saveddddd

I still don’t get tho do I need to only use the flash drive to boot windows from now on or once I install it once I’m good

[tidal geyser]

Ah hearts of iron

[wanton flume]

Also is repair ever worth it

[tidal geyser]

Only tried it a handful of times never worked but you could just give it a go if you have nothing else to do

[sinful cobalt]

Worth a try but best solution is to fresh install

[tidal geyser]

Das a 2d kinda game

I think it could run on a 15 year old igpu maybe

[wanton flume]

meh… I guess for malware concerns it’s best to just give up and start over

[latent gull]

Isn’t it one of those more CPU demanding map games

[tidal geyser]

Holy shit it has a igpu in the minimum

[tidal geyser]

M yes i5 2500k

[latent gull]

Fx4000

[wanton flume]

Your the goat sim thanks for putting up with my bs

[latent gull]

Kek

[jovial swan]

It cannot, its a deeply CPU heavy game
Especially end gsme

[jovial swan]

Indeed it is, its very demanding especially post-1943

[tidal geyser]

The recommended settings is a fkn i5 2500k

[latent gull]

Oh an fx4300 is way worse than a 2nd gen intel i5

[tidal geyser]

You can play recommended spec on lpe cores

[latent gull]

Brother if it’s requiring an fx4300 cpu, anything in the last 7 years is gonna be a fucking rocket ship in comparison

[jovial swan]

That would barely work, my Ryzen 7 7700 is struggling with the game at times,

[wanton flume]

Wait what does this mean

like which 1

[tidal geyser]

Delete everything you can there

[latent gull]

Yearly windows install

[tidal geyser]

Now I know, it's mostly single threaded

So you can put a 96 core CPU in a PC try and play it and theoretically get worse performance than a maybe even 4 core CPU

[latent gull]

Yeah its made by the people that did the city game with the same issue

[latent gull]

Wait a single core limited game running on an fx chip sounds like a nightmare

[tidal geyser]

No it's 2TB HARD

guys any good idea what R5 5600 to pair with?

[tidal geyser]

[latent gull]

Probably a PSU as well

[jovial swan]

Had it for a year. Battery still at 100%

[winter lantern]

True i just need a 5070ti or something

[tidal geyser]

-# it lacks a igpu

[ocean axle]

yea, probably

[jovial swan]

Ive never had smart charging or smart 80% top thing on

[tidal geyser]

[ocean axle]

just use it for a server, no need for GPU/display

[jovial swan]

Thats still offensive, its Danish.

[tidal geyser]

Dear ltt tech chat. Do i use thermal tape for the ram

If so i need something i can trust

I got the ram and one side of the heatspreader is not attached cause the tape is no good, i have been asking for ideas how to deal with this for a while now

[tidal geyser]

tape?

[sour storm]

Corsair vengeance heatsinks seem to be attached with assumably thermal tape

Kind of like a pad

And i dont feel confidang emough in like removing the other half

[tidal geyser]

take a pic

most cheap sticks only have ram on one side

[sour storm]

Will do once back home.

My "work" is literyally just sitting doing nothing 90% of the time. I wish i could get a job i do, but i need to study first to get anywhere and that has a whole heap of issues

[tidal geyser]

study then

[sour storm]

Cant, gotta get to a college and that means losing the wellfare on rent....kinda just waiting for a good time to get to studies

[pale flint]

i have it on all the time

i will turn it off and charge my phone to 100% only when im travelling

[hollow grail]

dont worry i thought that too before i super easily verified whether it’s not with thermal paste by one of 15 ways of finding out the truth

[thin bloom]

Now I think of it when I wip the storage device I should set up the tpm 2.0, and boot drive to gpt before I transfer stuff back in case I fuck it up again

[tidal geyser]

you cant install windows 11 without bypassing it anyways

[thin bloom]

I don't know how to bypass to windows 11. I can't go to 11 without bypassing because of the cpu

[tidal geyser]

are we even allowed to say how to bypass it

[broken echo]

Did I make a mistake? Was carrying my pc from the car. It was inside a cardboard box top side up. Stupidly decided to make a run for it into the house, took about maybe 5-10 seconds in a light drizzle. Decided to only wait 1 hour before testing it. Ran some stress tests and benchmarks and everything seemed to work fine.

[tidal geyser]

i think the entire mod team is sleepy

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[true stirrup]

If it works it works

[tidal geyser]

fun fact water does not damage computers

its the stuff in it

also just shorting stuff

so yes waiting a bit after it has gotten water on it can be the fix

here is a funny story, a chap had water spilled on his pc and thought it was fully dead, waited like half a year and tested it again and it was fine

[sinful cobalt]

i spilled water over a mouse and 2 months later i tried and boom

working again

is this a good monitor

[hexed sage]

I feel like doing this honestly

[frigid blade]

Good resell?

[hexed sage]

I'm joining the military I'm sure a laptop would be more useful than a desktop that's probably gonna be outdated by the time I get back home

[tidal geyser]

yup

[cold vortex]

anyone?

[tidal geyser]

its a 500hz oled

you almost cant make it bad

[cold vortex]

yeh i just want 2 new monitors that is oled

idk what to pick

[frigid blade]

It’s like posting a 5090 9950x3d build and going “is this a good build?”

[tidal geyser]

its like posting that but strix vs some other 5090 thing and asking how good is this

[frigid blade]

I’d argue that you don’t need a 500Hz monitor

[tidal geyser]

why not now a days with MFG

[frigid blade]

What are your pc specs you’re probably not gonna get that high at 1440p

[cold vortex]

what monitor can i buy that u feel is worth it

[tidal geyser]

he also has the money for that

[bold olive]

whats with oleds in 2026

[frigid blade]

Might be different between us what’s worth it, I generally go for something that’s on sale for a good deal and not overkill

[tidal geyser]

cheap

[tidal geyser]

me too but if he has the money for it why not

its not like its bad or badly priced for what it offers

[thin bloom]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong

[frigid blade]

Like I have a 4090 build but I’m still on IPS 1440p 144Hz i really need an upgrade

[bold olive]

they're twice as expensive as ips

[frigid blade]

My gf has a better monitor than i do

[cold vortex]

well i got a 9900X 5090 ddr5

[bold olive]

minimum 5080 to own an oled

[tidal geyser]

IPS look worse

[frigid blade]

Oh then go overkill lol do whatever

[cold vortex]

i just wanna pair it with a good oled

[bold olive]

but cheap

[frigid blade]

What

[tidal geyser]

most panther lake laptops have oled screens :3

[tidal geyser]

OLED can be had for 400$

[frigid blade]

I don’t think OLED vs IPS has any performance difference in terms of writing to the screen lol

[tidal geyser]

you need to delete all partitions

[cold vortex]

can u send me a link to a oledd that sim u think is worth it

[frigid blade]

You can run OLED just fine, it’s just OLED tends to not be lower than 1440p

[bold olive]

rather spend it on a better cpu

[frigid blade]

You can get a 4k OLED for the same price

And still be a pretty high refresh rate

[cold vortex]

i dont want 4k

[frigid blade]

Huh, why? You have a 5090

[tidal geyser]

and DLSS is a thing

[cold vortex]

cuz it was the best money can buy

[frigid blade]

why not upgrade resolution for the same price

[cold vortex]

4k tends to be slow

[frigid blade]

What

[cold vortex]

when i had a 3060 or any 3000 series it was ass on a asus tuff gaming

[frigid blade]

Compare the 3060 to a 5090

[tidal geyser]

3060 and 5090 are uh different

[frigid blade]

This guy

[tidal geyser]

dlss 4.5 at ultra performance is claimed to be around as good as dlss 4/3 at performance or something from what some people doing irl testing have said

[frigid blade]

You have DLSS 4.5 MFG and the dynamic one

[cold vortex]

its 5x ik but is there a difference

[tidal geyser]

later this year on MFG 6x and dynamic

but yes right now dlss 4.5

[frigid blade]

Ah I thought dynamic was out but I guess it was only for testing/showing off from Linus video

Why can’t the 4090 get MFG?

[cold vortex]

i have this atm https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VG279QM-Compatible-DisplayHDR-DisplayPort/dp/B0845QFDVM?s=electronics&sr=1-1

i wanna switch it with a oled

[frigid blade]

You can get a 4k OLED 240Hz for $700

[sinful cobalt]

you get the bootleg version being smooth motion and x2 fg

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine it lacks some kinda hardware to do more than 2x

[tidal geyser]

2x is just frame gen

[sinful cobalt]

i had to specify

[frigid blade]

I saw somewhere that you could somehow enable MFG on the 40 series but it wasn’t stable

[tidal geyser]

from my understanding the 2x or 3x or whatever the something like 2x is just one real then one fake

[frigid blade]

It some “hacky” way

DLSS 4.5 is a good upgrade

[tidal geyser]

just keep in mind pre 4000 lacks fp8

[coral cedar]

hey would anyone be able to help me, i recently upgraded my gpu and psu on my pc, everything was working fine for the first 2-3 days, but today i went to turn on my pc and no boot at all, my MOBO is a TUF B365M-PLUS GAMING, and my GPU is a 2070 super. My MOBO RGB lights up and shows its getting power but the pc wont wont switch on or give any display or spin the fans, my MOBO dosent have the Q-LED indicators to show if what the issue might be, i tried changing the CMOS battery, removing and running it with out ram or 1 stick and even replacing the PSU. anyone know what could be wrong?

[cold vortex]

send me a link to a 4k one and a 2k

[tidal geyser]

dual mode

[tidal geyser]

[frigid blade]

I’m surprised Alienware was one of the cheaper ones

[bold olive]

ips is already considered a luxury

moving from va

[coral cedar]

also idk of this could also be a factory but the PSU i had bought from BestBuy was not brand new it was used or faulty and they put it back on the shelf, i only realized once i went back in today to trade in the PSU for a new one, the first PSU i had bought had no instructions and or safety stickers on the back where the wall plug goes into.

shift f10 is your saviour

[tidal geyser]

das only for internet

[thin bloom]

This has to be 100% ai it looks like ai bull shit

[bold olive]

and registry editor

[gleaming meteor]

this is gonna sound dumb as fuck but unplug your monitor and see if it boots

[bold olive]

oh

i thought its about the microsoft account

[tidal geyser]

nah its just about the entire setup thing

[bold olive]

oh

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-thinking-gif-18107621495886085895

maybe, meh why not

[gleaming meteor]

similar issue on another asus motherboard

everything else worked fine

[tidal geyser]

hdmi does have power going trough it so it being shorted could maybe do something

[gleaming meteor]

nah it's more of a GPU thing, I'm not sure what.

What brand is the GPU?

[tidal geyser]

brand?

the main issue here is not that it aint posting, as its not even turning on

[gleaming meteor]

Oh like it looks dead?

Might be worth unplugging and replugging your PSU cables everywhere

[tidal geyser]

he already replaced the psu

[gleaming meteor]

Wait you're not the dude with the issue

[frigid blade]

I love fbmp

[azure topaz]

lmao

[frigid blade]

At least they’re honest

I found 2 4090s under $1k, ima try buying and reselling

It always ends up being some random uncs selling everything in their home

That got the good prices

lol

[tidal geyser]

uh dat still has the gpu on it

or well pcb at least

[coral cedar]

nope wont work

[tidal geyser]

did you try what the video showed you?

[frigid blade]

There’s some seriously good deals around me, 3090 for $400 they sell for like $700

[coral cedar]

im about to try it, i had to reinstall the PSU since i took it out to take back to best buy for them to tell me i can go fck myself cause they sold me a used psu that was spoused to be brand new

[gleaming meteor]

how is this legal

[thin bloom]

Time to setup tpm 2.0, and boot drive to gpt and hope I don't fuck it up again

[coral cedar]

idk man lol

[bold olive]

can a motherboard boot without anything plugged into cpu fan header

[tidal ice]

I have a Corsair H170i Elite Capellix which is now 3 years old, i'm going to upgrade my mainboard & cpu should i also change the aio or can i expect it to last at least 6 years 🤔

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tidal geyser]

just keep using it until it breaks

that AIO supports both lga 1851 and am5

[gleaming meteor]

it'll give you a warning but otherwise

[bold olive]

aint no way gigabyte is that ridiculous

[gleaming meteor]

if your old one still works give that a go and if it works you know what the culprit is

[tidal geyser]

wat

[gleaming meteor]

it's just every motherboard, if your cpu fan ain't working you'd wanna know about it

[tidal geyser]

its in case your cpu fan dies so you do not overheat it to death

[coral cedar]

cant my original PSU is only 500 watts i upgraded from a 1060

[frigid blade]

Why wouldn’t you wanna know the cpu fan isn’t working

[bold olive]

oh

[tidal geyser]

your current specs work on a 500w

[coral cedar]

no im on 850 watts

[bold olive]

then ima turn cpu fan fail warning off in bios then

nah jk

[gleaming meteor]

would still get the pc to boot

[tidal geyser]

i know but those parts CAN work on a 500w

[bold olive]

it wont help anyways

[tidal geyser]

a 8700 and 2070 uses like 400w

[frigid blade]

Unnecessary psu upgrade?

[tidal geyser]

less

he could have had a 80+ white psu

[coral cedar]

bro my orignal psu only had 1 single 8 pin connecter

[wispy burrow]

does this look like liquid metal shifting? asus g16, about 2 years old, P core 3 is the only one that throttles too

[tidal geyser]

your motherboard only has 1 8 pin

[coral cedar]

i cant plug in thr GPU if i use that PSU

[tidal geyser]

how many watts

[tidal geyser]

ok yea old psu shit quality then

[scarlet fiber]

Is it worth it upgrading from a i5 8400 to an i7 9700K BTW I have a RX6600

[wispy burrow]

package 92w

[coral cedar]

also its not the PSU i traded in the faulty PSU and got a brand new one from bestbuy today and it still dont work

[tidal geyser]

im gonna say yea LM is doing some bad stuff but you cant do that much about it

[bold olive]

i have an f tier silverstone psu

[frigid blade]

It’s a good boost in raw performance

[bold olive]

i have no idea how did i end up with one

[tidal ice]

Yea it might still last some years but still not sure how the wear of the cooler is, don't know about the failure rate of corsair coolers

[tidal geyser]

does your motherboard support rebar?

[wispy burrow]

could replace but i don’t wanna fw it i’ll bffr

[tidal geyser]

meh i would still go am4 at least

[scarlet fiber]

Idk it's HP 8653

[tidal geyser]

you cant even upgrade it to 9th gen

[wispy burrow]

changed pl1 sustained to 50w and pl2 to 70w and it’s sitting at like 85c but that’s still a 5-8c diff compared to other cores

[tidal geyser]

if you are very careful you can replace the LM and put something like ptm 7950 on it, iv done it before

[scarlet fiber]

What do you mean ?

[tidal geyser]

proprietary motherboard

[wispy burrow]

yeah if it was mine (i got a free g14 a few months ago, thanks anus) i’d do it, but it’s my partners laptop so i don’t reeaaallly wanna fw liquid metal

might just make a lower power profile

[tidal geyser]

keep in mind laptops do also boost to the max so maybe you are seeing that

boost then go to a lower power after a few sec

[frigid blade]

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/CPU-upgrade-a-question-about-compatibility/td-p/8657774 according to this post it does

[wispy burrow]

yeah no it will pin at 95c

[frigid blade]

It’s got the text from the specs link

[tidal geyser]

good ol UBM

[frigid blade]

But the link doesn’t work anymore

[wispy burrow]

default sustained tdp is 60w, but it’s boosting higher even over 2 minutes

[tidal geyser]

das kinda just what intel does

well all laptops

[frigid blade]

Not talking about that

[tidal geyser]

im just gonna say live with it

[tidal geyser]

meh i would not trust it

[frigid blade]

If he gives us the full model number for it we can check

[tidal geyser]

easier to just get a more proper computer

[thin bloom]

I'm thinking of buying an adapter and having the 4 case fans tied to the gpu fans

[tidal geyser]

no rebar too

[bold olive]

defo not rocket lake

[frigid blade]

I can’t wait for nova lake

52 core consumer cpu WOOOOOO

[tidal geyser]

zen 6 should maybe bring 24 BIG cores to the table

[frigid blade]

does AMD still do hyperthreading

[tidal geyser]

ofc and intel does not

[frigid blade]

Or did the stop like Intel

[frigid blade]

Well wasn’t there proof that it helps with performance when disabling

[tidal geyser]

its SMT on intels side

[bold olive]

watch the 10950x3d be 36 zen 6 cores

[tidal geyser]

on single core stuff i would assume

[frigid blade]

Wouldn’t 32 make more sense

[tidal geyser]

SMT is also different

[frigid blade]

Than 36

[tidal geyser]

each CCD might be 12 core with zen 6

[frigid blade]

Oh

[tidal geyser]

so 2 CCDs would be 24

[frigid blade]

That’s good then

[tidal geyser]

3 36

[frigid blade]

More cores

[wispy burrow]

breh i can’t even pick which pcore to disable

[tidal geyser]

yup

its fine, just do not worry about it

[wispy burrow]

was hoping i could bc iirc in my 13900ks build (before it got intel 13th gen’d) i was able to pick each core

[tidal geyser]

huh i did not know that

i thought it could only do it that way as in the laptop bios

[frigid blade]

The new Xeons are expected to have up to 334 cores

500w tdp

[tidal geyser]

EEEEEEEEE

[bold olive]

334 cores and 500 watts??

[tidal geyser]

very low

[wispy burrow]

i forgot which board it was

[bold olive]

too efficient

[tidal geyser]

the 9995wx can do like 2kw

[bold olive]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

but rated for like 500

[wispy burrow]

the build is still in my room, i need to look into stealing parts from it (ram)

[frigid blade]

7529 pins for the socket

[bold olive]

i read it as 2 kilowatts 😭

[wispy burrow]

it is,,

[bold olive]

which is correct

[thin bloom]

Do you guys think it's worth doing? Currently they are tied to the cpu temp. Gpu might run a little cooler if they were tied to it

[wispy burrow]

yeah 😭

[thin bloom]

I want your guys opinion

[wispy burrow]

extra strain on the gpus fan power rail, just do it in software if you really care

[tidal geyser]

no

they would just be off

most gpus have fan stop as in when nothing is going on why tf would you even need the fans spinning

[bold olive]

is it powerful tho?

[wispy burrow]

0rpm mode on every fan in the case

[frigid blade]

I need to purchase my fans for my new case but I’m broke

I need to resell those 4090s fast

If I sell both it’s an easy $2k profit

[tidal geyser]

well yea for the right workload

[bold olive]

what about the left

[frigid blade]

Bruh

[bold olive]

time travel back to 2024

entire life savings to ddr5

go to 2026 and sell it all

[frigid blade]

Reselling is a good business once you get more experience

I’ve found so many good deals on fbmp

I might just start doing pc repairs and reselling

[tidal geyser]

i just bought solder mask

now all i need to be able to do most repairs is a microscope and thermal cam

[thin bloom]

I know. The rx 5600 has it. My plan is to give the gpu better cooling when under load. That's why I want to tie the case fans to it

[tidal geyser]

why not just uhm run the fans under the gpu faster?

or use fancontrol

[thin bloom]

I haven't yet put a load onto it yet but I know they run hot. I'm still setting up tpm 2.0, and boot drive to gpt but I'm currently dealing with my parents dogs and letting them outside

[still escarp]

Bros
My regular spec upgrade cadence is this year. But seems we've been royally f****d without lube.
When can we expect things to get back to normal?

[tidal geyser]

2028

[frigid blade]

I just found 2 kits of 32GB 6000 for $80 each

Like genuinely I might just start reselling atp

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/scalper-no-scalping-gif-19837250

[frigid blade]

Nah I will scalp tf out of this market

[sinful cobalt]

dawg if you find cheap ram just keep it to urself

dont be a asshole and go contribute to the mess

[frigid blade]

No, it’s free money

Go take your morals somewhere else lol

2 4090s going for less than $1k each when they sell used on eBay for $2k each

fbmp is just so goated

[tidal geyser]

hmmmmmmmm

[frigid blade]

I’m gonna auction them so it really doesn’t matter since the buyer will contribute to the price increase not me

[tidal geyser]

100$ for a g9 sounds fun but eh

[frigid blade]

defekt means broken?

[tidal geyser]

yus

[gloomy sleet]

nah

[frigid blade]

It’s like in Polish

defekt

defect

[tidal geyser]

norsk

[frigid blade]

Is that the Norwegian app you mentioned?

[proper gull]

You're in a community that absolutely hates scalpers, gtfo

[tidal geyser]

i use finn

[frigid blade]

https://tenor.com/view/i-be-profen-gif-9435864923799777590

[tidal geyser]

a norwegian used market app

[frigid blade]

Ah yah, then it is I remember you mentioned it once

[proper gull]

You'll be one of the first through the guillotine then

[sinful cobalt]

ok asshole

[teal moon]

anyone here own an oled monitor? / can tell me why its even worth

[frigid blade]

https://tenor.com/view/haram-heisenberg-gif-20680378

[teal moon]

or should I just wait until buying

[frigid blade]

It looks nicer

[sinful cobalt]

Fucking pathetic peasant scalper in the chat

[tidal geyser]

true blacks

it also looks amazing

[frigid blade]

Yah if you put a completely black image on your desktop, it will look like the monitor is off

Because the pixels themselves are off (?)

[proper gull]

The mental gymnastics involved in this.
They're only having to bid war it because you bought it with the intent of reselling it

[random gyro]

yep

its really impressive tbh

[frigid blade]

There’s no mental gymnastics idc about the label

[teal moon]

hmmmm

[frigid blade]

You can call me a reseller, but don’t don’t hate the player hate the game

[tidal geyser]

I was looking into it and it seems that a lot of OS text is really hard to read

[random gyro]

i should really get a lightbar... so dark on my desk

[proper gull]

Scalping pathetic loser

[sinful cobalt]

You’re contributing to the problem idiot

[tidal geyser]

clear type

[sinful cobalt]

Fucking loser

[frigid blade]

Idk why people so mad at others making money

[tidal geyser]

out of the box it did still look fine to me but if you have issues clear type is made for that

[frigid blade]

Seems more like jealousy than anything else

[teal moon]

You know that 3D books that you need the red and blue lights?

thats what the text looks like lol

[proper gull]

Absolutely oblivious lmaoo

[teal moon]

super duper annoying to look at and hurts my eyes

[sinful cobalt]

Us? Jealousy over something negative you’re doing is crazy? Idiocy is the definition of what you’re being rn

[proper gull]

We don't care that you're making money
We care that you're a scalping loser

Go make money in a real way

[tidal geyser]

wut

what are you talking about now

[teal moon]

Like this kind of image

[frigid blade]

I think you should channel this anger towards the cause of the price increase and not the people taking advantage of it

[cold skiff]

Don’t hate the player hate the game

[proper gull]

Absolutely fucking oblivious

[sinful cobalt]

Theres this one incident where a guy went to Japan, friends asked him to buy some pokemon boxes and he was scalping to them- They named him “Peasant Scalper”

[cold skiff]

Don’t hate the seller hate the dram manufacturer

[cyan bay]

hi so I think my temps on my gpu r bad should I consider getting it repasted? I got this a year ago which is also 1yr okder so like it's almost to years now.. I also did an under volt now my temps r around 65-70 under heavy load like Monster Hunter wilds..

[cold skiff]

Don’t hate the dram manufacturer hate the ai companies

[sinful cobalt]

brokie
coward

[cold skiff]

Don’t hate the ai companies hate Nvidia and open ai

Oh wait

[sinful cobalt]

nah dont hate nvidia and open ai hate humanity

this the type of shit ultron saw

[cold skiff]

Don’t hate the young people wanting tech hate the old people inventing the tech wanting all the money

[frigid blade]

I don’t think the old people invent the tech, they just own the rights to it and finance it

[cold skiff]

Jensen and his jacket full of dram I mean sequins

[sinful cobalt]

Our greatgrandparents planted seeds
Grandparents harvested them and did jackshit in return
All of the future generations are now screwed because of greed

Wheres the “For those who come after?”

[frigid blade]

My money I’m making from reselling is for those who come after, checkmate liberal

[sinful cobalt]

And now you want to blame the new generations for being different and being in variating circumstances

[sinful cobalt]

Shut your bitchass mouth peasant scalper

[frigid blade]

https://tenor.com/view/the-incredibles-syndrome-buddy-pine-discord-reddit-gif-1954320315783291994

[sinful cobalt]

dont talk if u dont have an opinion anymore

[frigid blade]

My opinion is that hamburger and and fry goes well together

[tidal geyser]

repaste time

[sinful cobalt]

ur so smelly i can smell u through the screen gtfo

[frigid blade]

What are your thoughts on the socioeconomic state of the us

https://youtu.be/rJvACVbqB_Q?si=Y36Ny2fW1TXJNgnu

I think hamburgers and cheeseburgers work well with fries

[cold skiff]

Actually everyone before our grandparents planted seeds. Our grandparents just got the fruit, replanted new seeds, charged us more than they ever did to begin with and fuck is over continually that way

[frigid blade]

Are GPU repastes similar to CPU?

[random gyro]

agreed

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-bait-l-rage-bait-ragebait-l-ragebait-thanos-gif-1201177070319080685

[cold skiff]

That’s not a repair

[tidal geyser]

no

[frigid blade]

Autocorrect

[cold skiff]

Oh.

Well yes they’re similar on the die. You just lob paste on

[frigid blade]

Yah that’s what I meant

[tidal geyser]

but the entire die is where the heat comes from
