how do i disable this touch slider on ios 26

[dusk patio]

that upload speed omg 😭

[fickle ivy]

Tested again and it was better

It certainly doesn't feel that slow

[molten patrol]

that ping is concerning

[dusk patio]

that upload makes more sense

[dusty egret]

I hate that I bought servers with 2.5" bays storage is so much more expensive

Steve would be turning in his fucking grave if he knew apples selling stylus’s for $100+

Shit sucks. And I got one anyway

[surreal prairie]

Anybody here know what would be a good price for an RTX 4070 Super right now? I’m thinking about building a PC using used parts, but a deal on a new one would also be nice. I’d probably pair it up with a ryzen 7 7800x3d or something similar.

[random gyro]

apple pencils are great

i've had a pencil 2 since 2021

[surreal prairie]

This is why they’re able to get away with this kind of stuff.

People still buy it even tho they say it’s bad value.

[sinful cobalt]

$400

[thin bloom]

Is this a new discord layout or is it my settings?

[frigid blade]

I think when the resolution is small enough it starts looking like that

I’ve only seen it on my iPad

[thin bloom]

It wasn't like that before I fucked up windows on the ssd

I don't know how to fix it

Now I think of it it might be one of the gpu settings

[frigid blade]

You think the GPU settings changed your discord layout?

Are you sure it’s not in the wrong resolution or something

also CTRL + and - to zoom in and out

[thin bloom]

That doesn't work to fix the layout. How you see it on my let monitor it does the same thing on my wider monitor

[frigid blade]

Did you uninstall and reinstall discord?

[thin bloom]

I just installed discord and logged in

[full steppe]

Alright, I got myself into a bit of a pickle. I have a raspberry pi 5 and recently upgraded my modem/router combo. The raspberry pi doesn't have the new wifi details and I need to update them. I have ubuntu server installed on it. I don't have a mini HDMI cable and I'm not sure what the IP address it may be getting when connecting via ethernet to connect via ssh. I don't have access to the router page atm... separate issue...

Anyone have recs?

Can I update the wifi details somehow manually by modifying files on the SD card? Can I boot it from another PC (not a raspberry pi)? Something else?

[quasi moat]

Idk but it’s a great f card. (Obv I don’t have super but still)

Natural progression of man

[surreal prairie]

So the 4070 base is your current card?

Btw do you think 16 gb would be fine to pair with the 4070 super or would it be a major bottleneck?

Can’t get 32 gb for obvious reasons :(

[sinful cobalt]

dram memory capacity isnt directly correlated to GPU performance

its mainly with CPU performance and what/how many apps you can run

[surreal prairie]

True I know that

I was asking if running at higher settings with limited system ram would affect it

Hopefully not in the games I’m gonna be playing

[sinful cobalt]

Higher graphical settings puts strain on GPU and VRAM, not the DRAM

[surreal prairie]

Okay gotcha 👍

I’ve just heard that CPU can affect fps and wasn’t sure if the dram would indirectly affect that

16 gb might feel a bit tight though for a while

[quasi moat]

Yeah, makes sense as long as VRAM isn’t spilling into system RAM. 16 GB shouldn’t hurt performance. Worst case is background apps causing stutter not FPS loss.

[surreal prairie]

Until I can upgrade to 32 gb

[sinful cobalt]

Insufficient ram would.

On 16GB you’d prob wanna debloat windows or what not and lower the OS’s ram consumption itself

It does also have dynamic ram usage which helps

[surreal prairie]

KSP is a somewhat CPU heavy game that may be affected by 16 gb though

Especially with mods

[random gyro]

[dense escarp]

i updated my bios without any power loss. we made it boys

[turbid cairn]

Anybody want this collectors item?

[random gyro]

i wanna get a crt

found some guy selling them for 10 bucks a pop, should i? :>

[turbid cairn]

if you got 10 spare dollars then yea

[random gyro]

i do :0

[turbid cairn]

then do!

[random gyro]

i can also save my money for a used LED tv

100 bucks for a 32 incher

[turbid cairn]

but do u want led tv or crt more

[random gyro]

i dont know honestly

i can watch youtube from my bed on both

[turbid cairn]

are you gonna play games on it?

[random gyro]

yep

[turbid cairn]

like retro or no?

[random gyro]

nope

older call of duty games

and in terms of new games, elden ring i guess

[turbid cairn]

then I would probably save for the led tv

[random gyro]

actually...i can get the crt now

or i mean today

[thin bloom]

what is wrong with that?

[random gyro]

just yolod it and texted the crt seller

i think i can have more fun with a crt tbh

[thin bloom]

So far I like this gpu. I can now play wreckfest 2 at medium settings before Lowest and get around below 30 fps. I forgot on msi afterburner if I can make the graph up faster. I will look it up

Wreckfest 2 is the hardest game I have that puts the most load onto the gpu

[turbid cairn]

I have a feeling your temps are a bit off... I dont think your vrm can is freezing while what im assuming ina your gpu is at 158 f

[carmine yew]

lololol zero chance of 32f VRM

150ish GPU Core makes sense

that's... 65-70c? pretty reasonable

[thin bloom]

I'm sending a video of it in celsius

[thin bloom]

Here it is in celsius for people who can't read Fahrenheit

[carmine yew]

and zero c is impossible is our point

[carmine yew]

also NOBODY reads computer temps in F.

Everything is rated in C on computers.

[thin bloom]

Something is bugging. I just realized it said 0°C on the vrm. I have to look at that

[carmine yew]

did it saying 32F make it seem more plausible?

[thin bloom]

I'm American and can't read celsius. I have razer cortex text on the bottom reading celsius then on my right monitor I have hwinfo reading in celsius

[carmine yew]

spoiler: most of us are americans, too

I'm outside of Boston currently 😛

Well this is what hwinfo shows from the gpus sensors

From me looking on Google I might have to restart my pc so msi afterburner can read vrm temps. I don't know what sensor on hwinfo is the vrms

[carmine yew]

one of the largest memory manuf's in the world? What are the odds?

Oh, maybe 1:3-1:4 or so

[turbid cairn]

awww man not worth anything :(

[carmine yew]

i'm wondering if that card doesn't have VRM Sensors

[carmine yew]

tbf DDR3 value has gone up in the last 3 months, so it's worth more today than it was in august

[thin bloom]

It doesn't have them

I just looked it up

[random gyro]

thats a cool monitor

what model?

[azure dirge]

Anyone have any recommendations for places to take your PC to get something replaced? I was thinking a microcenter since I heard of that a lot but none nearby

[formal sonnet]

What are you needing replaced?

[thin bloom]

It's a old dell e193fp

[random gyro]

i love old dell monitors

[livid perch]

[thin bloom]

The monitor is slowly dieing

[random gyro]

its typical for these old monitors

and inevitable

[thin bloom]

It has changed colors before but it always stick with orange. One day I looked away then right as I looked back the line was there

[random gyro]

is it slowly deteriorating and shriveling away?

or just the line

i have an old tn panel from 2008 that formed a line

[thin bloom]

The line. If I remember right it changed from orange to yellow then green and back to orange if u remember right

The dell monitor I showed you it's from 2004

"if it ain't broke, don't fix it "

[fickle ivy]

Oh it's been like that for a while, I'm just concerned about the cable

[formal sonnet]

I mean, yes, the laptop still works... when in a stationary position, which defeats the purpose of it being a laptop.

[random gyro]

duck tape, or flex tape

[fickle ivy]

That's how I use it mostly anyways

I'm just concerned because the display cable is getting shredded

[thin bloom]

I kinda hate this monitor because for me to get inside I have to pull off the plastic around the screen. I want to take it apart and clean the display chip but I'm going to try taking it apart

[random gyro]

Do you have any idea how to fix this?

[thin bloom]

Vga to display cable. It's something to do with discords display. I put it on my wide monitor didn't fix it

[plain cypress]

How terrible

[thin bloom]

Then my right monitor is vga to hdmi

[formal sonnet]

What about when you put Discord on a monitor that's connected DIRECTLY to your PC using HDMI or DisplayPort?

I've had all kinds of weird issues with VGA adapters over the years... so it's worth trying something that uses a modern display connection standard, even if that means temporarily connecting your PC to a TV with HDMI.

[random gyro]

you have issues with vga adapters?

ive never had a problem with vga nor vga adapters

[formal sonnet]

I have had, not currently have. All depends on the adapter, source device, and monitor.

[random gyro]

sorry

[formal sonnet]

All good. I'm not saying that's the issue here but... it's been my experience that such adapters can cause issues. Now, if this only happens with Discord... I'm 110% stumped - this issue should affect all applications, not just one.

[random gyro]

maybe it's the quality of the adapter then

or the cable

[thin bloom]

hair from q to right control key and maybe a food crumb under the right control key. I haven't taken any other keys off yet.

the censored images is what is under the space bar and right control key

hey guys, is there any reason as to why one drive seems to work a lot harder when using raid 0 (striped volume) config?

[thin bloom]

is there anything on disk 2 that's using it now?

[novel tangle]

im just doing file transfer (from external drive to d: drive) atm, nothing else is going on

[thin bloom]

i had a hard drive fail that i rarely used it showed 100% read and right. come to find out the drive was dead

[novel tangle]

hmm, the 2nd drive does indeed have some bad sectors but i did a slow format to fix it and crystaldiskinfo does not report any kind of error after the format, the health show up good

[thin bloom]

if it's making noise it's dead besides it humming. pull it out of the pc and put your ear to it and plug the power back into it

[spring latch]

if its just humming and not initializing or vibrating or spinning, the motor is probably siezed or some other part is bad that stops the thing from goin

[thin bloom]

i didn't how to describe it but the noise you hear of the platers spinning inside that's what i'm talking about

[formal sonnet]

What are the model numbers of each drive? Also, you can't "fix" bad sectors. All you can do is hope the drive firmware is able to re-map these sectors until the drive runs out of spares or another failure occurs.

[novel tangle]

the drive thats running at 100% is the seagate one

[quasi moat]

Continuing to own this and use it gets more and more retar*** by the day

[novel tangle]

yep thats right, still doesnt explain why the seagate one seems to work more than the WD tho
cuz both has experienced current pending sector count error (for WD it was 1-2 year smth, and for the seagate its a week ago), i did a slow format to both of them to remap the bad sectors and both of them are reporting good health in crystal disk info

[sinful cobalt]

tbh astral is arguably one of the worst beefy cards for OC, except for XOC

[formal sonnet]

What do you mean "work more" - are you referring to the Seagate being at 100% usage more often?

[novel tangle]

yep

[formal sonnet]

Um. It's a slower drive. If you're writing data across both disks equally (as a normal / sane RAID 0 configuration would...) that means the slower drive has to work 2x as hard as the faster drive to write the same amount of data. (This is an oversimplification... but I hope it gets the point across.)

[molten patrol]

why tho (normal oc)

[sinful cobalt]

included 4th fan that blows its hot air directly into the general direction of ram

unlike the aorus master which is optional

[molten patrol]

true

[sinful cobalt]

ur basically dumping heat out faster

[novel tangle]

seagate one have the same specs i think? cuz they have same cache, same rotating speed, same capacity also
the only major difference is that seagate one have sata II instead
but i dont think its really matter cuz iirc, sata II has the bandwidth of 300mb/s, which is plenty for a hdd cuz most hdd caps at around 250mb/s speed
or maybe im just dumb

[formal sonnet]

Unless the info I found on the internet is wrong (which is absolutely possible - it is the internet, after all...) they do not have the same specs. See my prior message about SATA speeds. #tech-chat-1 message

Point is, you're getting the performance they give. Replace the SATA II drive with another SATA III and I bet you'll see more equal Disk Usage between the 2 drives. (Though RAID performance depends on more than just your drives...)

[molten patrol]

why not we do some DIY (from right to left) instead of out in out , make it in out in

[novel tangle]

maybe im just not getting stuff then, either way the drive should be fine so there shouldnt be any problems

[formal sonnet]

All drives are fine... until there are problems. 😄 Tis why it's always good to make a backup of important data.

Games were made about 10 times over a period of 3 months. The majority within 2 or 3 weeks and those games were balling

Never forgot that original Warcraft was made within a month. That original StarCraft was a cobbled together shitfest from original WC with new models made in 2 weeks. And then that game became one of the biggest ever… while Ubisoft AAAA that takes 5 years is garbage

yeah the trackpoint

[random gyro]

i always called it the red nipple until now

[tulip sparrow]

I had the trackpad disabled and used either the nub or a real mouse

[ionic atlas]

Thinkpad should bring back big esc key

[lapis talon]

Which one should I go for? These are approx $150 USD

[random gyro]

i somehow find myself comfortable with using a touchpad, even for gaming

[lapis talon]

The arm rests on that first one is adjustable to some degree

[random gyro]

ive played online csgo matches with the trackpad

[lapis talon]

Crazy

[tulip sparrow]

I am just so use to a much higher DPI then a trackpad can provide so it irks me because its so slow and I have to remove my hand a lot

[lapis talon]

Most I've done is play Minecraft on my ThinkPad when I was younger

[lapis talon]

With the trackpad

[lapis talon]

I love the trackpad on my Legion, I never knew laptops evolved this much since my last one

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure T420 era was the last time for it before they scrwed up the whole keyboard with the T430

[random gyro]

and ive finished most of portal 2 with one (i didnt have a mouse then, and take note this is with a synaptics trackpad, not a windows precision)

which synaptics sucks

[lapis talon]

Oh wow

Idek much about my ThinkPad

[stray portal]

Im so tuff i just got a razer huntsman mini and a razer basilisk v3 and theyre soooo good

[ionic atlas]

Reason I got a dell precision years ago was partly because I wanted a nice trackpad after getting used to it on the Mac

[tulip sparrow]

I currently have a Lenovo Yoga running Linux and the trackpad is disabled since I tend to use either a real mouse or the touchscreen

[lapis talon]

It just has a plastic body, crappy keyboard, a broken hinge, some major scratches on the side and the fact that it had a core i5 sticker even though the laptop has a core i3

[lapis talon]

Jealous

[stray portal]

Linuc man

You are a big penguin

[random gyro]

good, dont use a synaptics

[lapis talon]

My tiny brain when I was a kid only knew the more cores it has, the better CPU it is. So I bought the laptop when I saw that it has a Core i5

[random gyro]

i finished portal 2 with a dell office mouse

[lapis talon]

The only games I could play when I was younger (because my laptop was so crappy) were Roblox, Minecraft and GTA Vice City

I didn't use a mouse back then 😭

I used to play on an even older laptop before that

[ionic atlas]

Yeah but my laptop is dying now

[lapis talon]

It was some sort of dell with a detachable battery

[ionic atlas]

My trackpad doesn’t even work anymore since a week ago

And battery is dead

[tidal geyser]

Time for a new trackpad and battery

[lapis talon]

Weighed a ton, used actual metal and had a small screen

[lapis talon]

THIS REMINDS ME

The trackpad on my thinkpad is a bit crooked now

[ionic atlas]

Time for me to spend 3-4k eur on a new laptop

[random gyro]

rest in pieces

[lapis talon]

I didn't double tap to click something, I physically used to press the left button

[random gyro]

woah a fellow trackpad gamer

unless you used the nipple (which i think you do)

[lapis talon]

My brain was too small to comprehend how a mouse could be useful back then

[ionic atlas]

Two finger click

[lapis talon]

The hell is the nipple

Oh wait idek if it was a ThinkPad or ideapad

[random gyro]

red thing on thinkpads

[lapis talon]

Ohh nah I used a ideapad then

[random gyro]

for reals?

[lapis talon]

Mb vro I don't know the difference

[ionic atlas]

Hp used to have them as well, tho fading away.. usually blue or black

[lapis talon]

I didn't see a difference so I just stuck to touchpad

[random gyro]

fair enough

[lapis talon]

I remember going max render distance on Minecraft and thinking "wow my laptop is powerful, I don't get why everyone doesn't use max render distance" even though I was getting around 5 fps

And the day I got that laptop, I thought it was a gaming laptop and tried to run Fortnite, but alas the inevitable happened and I got a huge reality check 😭

I still didn't have my console back then so

Wait I have a really OG Fortnite account 🤔

This was back when Fortnite was JUST starting to blow up

[random gyro]

ive only played fortnite one time and that was in 2018

[lapis talon]

Lucky you, I tried running the game and my laptop crashed within 3 hours of being purchased

And within 3 minutes of running the game

But thanks to that laptop, I got my PC and got into tech

I wanted one of those cool Lenovo gaming laptops that had those huge fan grills at the back but parents said no at the time, which obviously makes sense

But by the time I got my pc, my trackpad was basically broken and I was forced to use a mouse

[worn basalt]

I found a 128MB DDR-333MHz. How much is this?

[lapis talon]

DDR333?

[worn basalt]

first gen at 333MHz

PC2700

[lapis talon]

Did bro skip 227 generations

[lapis talon]

Ohhh

[worn basalt]

aka DDR1

[lapis talon]

Probably the same price as DDR4 used to be 😭

[tulip sparrow]

I feel Sager/Clevo look nothing like a standard "GAMING" laptop https://www.sagernotebook.com/home.php

Did Windows XP era PCs use DDR1?

[mortal venture]

Cheapest ddr5 I could find

[random gyro]

how much ram is that

[mortal venture]

16GB

[random gyro]

oh my

[mortal venture]

Good enough for now

[random gyro]

ram crisis is that bad?!

[random gyro]

yeah 16 is a lot

[mortal venture]

it was 3 times cheaper than normal ram

[tulip sparrow]

My Sager NP8155 (Clevo P650HP3) very much has a muted design and does NOT scream GAMING in the slightest

[random gyro]

[tulip sparrow]

yeah from 2017 or so

aka I7-7700hq and 1060 3GB GPU

[mortal venture]

I have 32 and wanted 64GB

but for now it's too expensive

[random gyro]

64 is a bit overkill

[random gyro]

looks like a decent laptop

[mortal venture]

this laptop ram is for my client

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah people seem to be reverting to using laptop dimms via an adpter for ram now

[tulip sparrow]

Love the placement of the speakers on it as well since they are front and center and angled towards your head instead of downward firing or side firing

[random gyro]

unheard of

a lot of laptop speakers face the BOTTOM. (whyyy???)

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah it sucks

[mortal venture]

It depends

[random gyro]

i do see myself using 64 sometimes

[tulip sparrow]

Glad my lenovo yoga that I use for linux has them above the keyboard

[random gyro]

photoshop and web browsers eat a lot ;-;

[mortal venture]

I wanted 64GB and 4TB ssd for my pc upgrade

[random gyro]

you do any tasks that eat tons of ram too or no?

just curious

[tulip sparrow]

Only time the placement of my lenovo speakers sucks is when its in tablet.tent mode becuase they fire away lol

[mortal venture]

Virtual machines, Photoshop, gaming

[random gyro]

would be nice if there are laptop speakers in the bezel itself

seems perfect (although i wonder how theyll sound)

[random gyro]

yeah seems about right, i do those things too

[tulip sparrow]

Ok yeah VM's can eat up ram if you have a few open/running at once

[random gyro]

32 should be enough, you can probably wait 64gb out

[tulip sparrow]

lousy like modern built in tv speakers lol

[mortal venture]

I was thinking about another pc for virtual machines

Something with xeon

[random gyro]

older?

[mortal venture]

LGA 2011-3

X99

[tulip sparrow]

I don;t get why 48/24/96 exists when they are out of spec

[random gyro]

theyre just there so that you have much more options

[tulip sparrow]

In spec would be 16/32/64/128

[little quail]

Sometimes you just want something in between

[random gyro]

its kinda like having three sticks of ram

[mortal venture]

First thing I need to do rn is nas upgrade

[random gyro]

or something idk how to explain

[tulip sparrow]

Unless you are running triple channel ram or something its just out of spec

[little quail]

Ok what you really need is 4gb of ram. Nobody realistically needs more ram than that

[tulip sparrow]

Wasn't it 648kb?

[little quail]

4gb and 1 bit if we feel fancy

[tulip sparrow]

Might have the number wrong on that one

[tidal geyser]

Iv played portal 1 on a igpu with that only using a little bit over half that

[tulip sparrow]

Might have been 640kb of ram

Pretty sure it was Bill Gates himself who said that

[little quail]

Thats way too much. No User system ram usage exceeds 512kb of ram usage

I am still playing Space Marine 2 on my Commodore 64

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.computerworld.com/article/1563853/the-640k-quote-won-t-go-away-but-did-gates-really-say-it.html @little quail tell that to Bill Gates

no, it's called ddr not ddr1

[summer parrot]

unfortunately i already tried using exiftool which worked, but not the way i want it to

[steel umbra]

I mean you could say ddr1 when it's not clear to someone

[tidal geyser]

program your own thing

[random gyro]

i got the tv

[summer parrot]

the answer shows how to remove all the EXIF data except for the orientation but i want that data to be removed as well while modifying the image to keep the rotation

[random gyro]

its a beauty isnt it

[summer parrot]

thing is: i upload images to a website and the website has trouble with the exif orientation and doesn't apply the rotation, so the image needs to be modified

[tidal geyser]

good luck

[random gyro]

actually i called my mom

Even 16gb still is if you manage your start up apps

with a n4000 too

dad wants a Laptop (specifically a surface. trying to convince him not to buy it from Macys just because he has a credit card with them 🤪

[random gyro]

what does he do with it

[steel umbra]

I mean there is pc1 on almost every dimm of ddr

[rigid fjord]

if he's going for a surface, he's not getting a laptop, just a glorified tablet

[formal sonnet]

This. And depending on the tasks expected of it, it may be better purposed as a bacon & egg cooker. (I love the look, feel, and formfactor of most Surface hardware... but the thermal design leaves much to be desired.)

[rigid fjord]

while true, it's still ddr not ddr1, and been known as ddr not ddr1 for a long time

very misleading to call a surface a laptop in any sense

[median crater]

pretty much nothing that can't be done on any laptop. he is mainly iPad user now and is frustrated with it. so i dont know if 2-in-1 should be recommended given he likes touchscreen - BUT he also lit. gave me his macbook because it didnt have touch screen. so IDK.
i think he just saw ads and is being impulsive but its really whatever at his age and poor health, if he wants a new windows lappy i can help him get one. just dont want him getting ripped off.

maybe ipad is not so good for writing emails, and no real file system, but he isnt going to be relearning windows at this point either.
goddamn it fucking apple make a goddamn touchscreen macbook already you stupid idiots

[rigid fjord]

a 2 in 1 would be better but tbh that means going for something like a lenovo yoga instead

and no, an ipad is fine for writing an email on

Hello, currently gonna build all white case but since theres not many available option for white motherboards, I also consider to use black motherboard too. Here’s my parts:

ROG Astral RTX 5090 White Edition
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
ROG Thor 1200P3
Corsair Vengeance 2x24GB CL30 6000Mhz RAM
990 Pro 4TB+NM790 2TB SSD

3x Phanteks T30 fans for front (would be not noticeable)

I can buy X870E Aorus Pro X3D Ice but I’m not sure on it, do you guys recommend it or should I go with another mobo? Thanks.

[sinful cobalt]

thats overpriced

any B850 will do but u might as well just stick to a normal X870 ice

[inner veldt]

B850 is not cheap here either, motherboard prices are close to each other

[tidal geyser]

he has a 5090

just go for it

[sinful cobalt]

i also have one and i have a b850

[inner veldt]

Should I go with Hero X870E etc?

[inner veldt]

Which one

[tidal geyser]

is the hero cheaper?

[inner veldt]

Close to Aorus price

[tidal geyser]

wow

[inner veldt]

What would you recommend from motherboards?

[tidal geyser]

it is am5

after like 100-150$ its mostly looks and features

People were saying gigabyte software sucks but im not sure

[tidal geyser]

software?

you're not meant to use the motherboards software

are you making it ooorrr?

you could trip and die in the next 24 hours, there's no guarantees

or whatever

[rigid fjord]

you called it ddr1 which would be incorrect

[tidal geyser]

why are we back to ram again

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/sleep-sleeping-sleepy-cat-cat-cute-gif-5647373625706459185

[worn basalt]

I initially called it DDR-333 for using DDR at 333MHz (or PC2700).

I mentioned "aka DDR1" which simply stands for it being also known as DDR1. Not inherently its most common name. DDR1 can be taken for DDR as for being the first generation.

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-meme-sad-water-disappointed-gif-3288661263568768157

It is simply to not get confused on what DDR it is. Who knows you missed the number.

[worn basalt]

now he didn't respond. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rigid fjord]

there's no way to get confused by it, the number itself tells what generation it is

[worn basalt]

That's the thing. You said DDR1 would be incorrect and I do in fact know. I wouldn't have used "DDR1" in the first place if it wouldn't cause confusion, making people think I missed a number to type and could have been any DDR generation.

[worn basalt]

You get my point?

[ornate harbor]

https://tenor.com/view/alexuyutov-ice-age-gif-8517616208083077123

[worn basalt]

I'm not trying to cause chaos here, I'm just reinforcing my point.

[rigid fjord]

the only chance of someone getting confused on that would be if there is 2 generations of ram with the same speed which clearly there isn't in this case, also those that don't know what pc1/pc2/pc3/pc4 etc is on certain ram sticks

[thin bloom]

i can hear that gif

[worn basalt]

Most of us don't know what speeds correspond to which generation. Just making it simple to understand.

You can throw a random RAM speed at me and I'd have to google it, to be honest.

[ornate harbor]

:]

[worn basalt]

There is. An example is that you can run both DDR3 and DDR4 at 1600.

[rigid fjord]

i said in this case, not in totality, and just as much there's ddr3 and ddr4 both running at 1866,2133,2400,2666 and 3200, not just 1600

the rarer one to find is ddr3 3200

[cold skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/rampocalypse-memory-loss-ram-ram-ji-ddr5-open-ai-gif-7333418488813509706

DDR 200 was tha bomb

[worn basalt]

Well, that's on my bad. I didn't get to fully understand as I normally don't have to. So back to what I was saying, you still can be confused on the same speed for different generations, that's saying we're not all the same.

[little quail]

No that would be the Samsung Note 7

ssds and ram cost too much

Its so funny with the ram shortage. Situation so bad my local shops either have none or decided to lock up/away what ram they got

my NAS is a ddr3 based system

Mine is a hp thin client

Mine is just m.2 ssd to usb adapter. I probably should call it a DAS at this point

2026 won't be that good for desktop CPU, right?

[mortal venture]

Or some rainbow for photos

[thin bloom]

I want to do that on my pc but can't. I would do the same for my new pc build but I'm planning on going with the same cooler but black

[mortal venture]

Now it's white

[little quail]

These days i am too much of an paranoid Idiot to make use of RGB

[thin bloom]

What gpu is that?

[mortal venture]

6700XT

[thin bloom]

I have a 5600 xt

[frigid blade]

@mortal venture what price do you pay for 32gb ddr5 6000 ram there in zloty?

[mortal venture]

For new?

[frigid blade]

sure

i want to see if there price is similar to USD or because of the pay difference its less

[mortal venture]

between 2000 and 3000

[viral kayak]

Would have bought a laptop ram adapter if it wasn’t for the fact the peerless assassin cooler is so wide

[frigid blade]

holy fuck thats way more

[frigid blade]

$550-850 USD?

jesus

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[viral kayak]

Marketplace or Finn?

[random gyro]

what do you mean qwq

[random gyro]

im scared

[mortal venture]

Around 1000zł for 16GB

[frigid blade]

bro let me buy some RAM and send it over there, we can resell

[mortal venture]

And laptop one with adapter was 300

[frigid blade]

I buy for $400 you sell for $600 and we split the $200 profit lmao

[worn basalt]

I've seen those CPU OC vids about changing the CPU Core Ratio to higher than what your CPU has. On the same motherboard model but different CPU, my ratio only resets back to my CPU's boost frequency when set higher.

Anyone with an idea? I think it just cannot be overclocked or soemthing

[frigid blade]

thats wild

[dawn saffron]

400 dollars for ram 💔

[little quail]

There is this saying "play stupid games, win stupid prizes "

[frigid blade]

its even more in poland

[random gyro]

oh, YAY!!!

[pure trellis]

Amazon can be cheaper option

[frigid blade]

thats for new, I would never buy off of amazon, eBay open box or something only $250

[random gyro]

can anyone give me game ideas to play on my stupid new color tv

[dawn saffron]

add another 100 dollars on it and you could build a decent 1080 gaming pc in 2024

[mortal venture]

@frigid blade 64GB is 1200$

[pure trellis]

If you will snipe last ram listing

[frigid blade]

thats like $750 new here

[tidal geyser]

Finn ofc

[mortal venture]

Prices are really fucked up rn

[frigid blade]

i got bullied because i said im gonna scalp ram

i saw 2 listings of ddr5 32gb 6000 for $75 each

[random gyro]

dont listen to them

[thin bloom]

This is what I'm planning on getting for my new build. If I remember last the price was around 600

[mortal venture]

Also SSD prices

[tidal geyser]

Gonna do a 30min occt on the 3070 and 6600 XT today

[viral kayak]

Can I get the link I want to see what stuff your selling

[little quail]

German amazon shows me that ram for 444,99 euro

[random gyro]

theyre just putting you down which is mean :<

[pure trellis]

Technically it's again discord tos

[frigid blade]

i know, im mostly joking about the bullied part it was more just mean words

[mortal venture]

Lexar NM790 1TB is 600zł

Around 166$

[random gyro]

STILL, tbh they were kinda mean to you

[pure trellis]

That's screenshot from German Amazon

[frigid blade]

you were there? lol

[random gyro]

and i dont think you deserve it honestly

[random gyro]

yes, silently spectating

[tidal geyser]

It will be a while as I need to get home maybe make something to eat then test or meh do both at the same time

[frigid blade]

i understand why theyre mad at scalpers but like i said, better to channel that anger towards the people driving up prices

[tidal geyser]

Just fyi I go above market rate

[frigid blade]

dont hate the player hate the game

[little quail]

Wild since german amazon showed me this

[viral kayak]

Why above

[frigid blade]

because people are willing to pay it

[mortal venture]

On amazon

[frigid blade]

thats wild

i wonder why such a price disparity

is all of europe overpriced compared to US?

[viral kayak]

Above market rate on a 3070 in today’s market here in Norway would be 350-500

[tidal geyser]

Ye the 3070 is gonna be more like 350 or 400 we will see

[little quail]

It feels wild now that last October i got my Kingston 32gb 6000mhz cl30 kit for 144,99 euro

[mortal venture]

For 4700 you could have a really good pc when prices were normal

[little quail]

And now the same ram kit from the same shop costs about 300 euro more

[mortal venture]

For 2500 I build pc with ryzen 3600, RX6600, 32GB ram and 1TB SSD

[pure trellis]

Data tracking is magnificent tech

[frigid blade]

If I had the cash I would so buy this and resell

[viral kayak]

Just seems like a scam

[frigid blade]

nah i got a few uncs near me selling out their hobby stuff

i asked for benchmarks tho

[viral kayak]

Not too long ago I found something similar like a 4070 ti super for 300

[frigid blade]

i said it a few days ago, its always the uncs selling out everything in their house for cheap that got the good deals

[mortal venture]

So I could have 2 of this for 64GB of ram

[frigid blade]

its hitting some places worse than others 🥀

[viral kayak]

Supposedly brand new and sealed

[frigid blade]

I still cant believe how lucky I got, I bought 2 2x48gb 6800 kits for $240 for both after taxes and shipping a year ago

[little quail]

I still got4 ddr4 sticks laying around that i probably should sell for a profit at this point lol

[frigid blade]

I bought them before I could even use DDR5

I still was on my ddr4 build

[viral kayak]

64 gigs of ddr5 is 1500 usd here

[tidal geyser]

No way

[viral kayak]

It was a scam clearly seller said he got them from a tech shop sealed in box but his profile was filled with the same thing with various different gpus

[little quail]

They should invent Ram that is cheap

[viral kayak]

Lucky but a new kit costs 1500 usd

[mortal venture]

I built my pc lying in bed with both legs in cast 3 years ago

[mortal venture]

Crazy shit

[tidal geyser]

I can buy a car with my ram

[frigid blade]

iGPU with 110GB shared memory, lol

[tidal geyser]

Maybe I can even buy ram with my ram

[little quail]

I can buy you all with my ram

[frigid blade]

nuh uh

ive had hoi4 running for half an hour now, i was supposed to be playing but got caught up in tc1

[viral kayak]

There are decent cars you can get for cheaper than 128gb kits

[little quail]

Duh uh

[little quail]

I just buy you

[pure trellis]

I mean, you get 385 with 128gb ram

[frigid blade]

i think its a setting somewhere

nvm i read something else

[viral kayak]

Why screenshot of both screens?

[pure trellis]

I was about desktop version of that AMD CPU

[frigid blade]

i was saying ive had hoi4 running for half an hour now instead of playing because i got caught up in this chat

[viral kayak]

Oh

[tidal geyser]

No way in hell I'm buying ram or any of the card so tall you can even see a child in front of it

[frigid blade]

i could fund a new car by selling my pc

i have an 07 mazda 3 but its gonna fall apart like legos from the rust eating through it

[viral kayak]

I feel like buying a dodge ram but because they are imports they are expensive

[frigid blade]

the larger trucks are so nice to drive around tho

my dad has a silverado, i love any chance to take it for a ride

[viral kayak]

And the large suvs they are super comfy and nice to drive

[little quail]

Probably should put my Pc in PcPartPicker to feel good about the price i actually paid for it lol

[viral kayak]

It’s nice that the 14600k went up in price right after I bought it

[little quail]

Those numbers had me worried for a second

[viral kayak]

Why

[little quail]

Cause its a 14th gen. But i had to look if it was an affected one

[viral kayak]

All 13th and 14th gen’s are affected but newer bios updates are meant to fix the problem

[little quail]

the i3 and i5 versions are far less affected from what I could figure out

[viral kayak]

Less power hungry variants are less affected by the voltage issue yes

[mortal venture]

that's better

[little quail]

14th gen has me still rather spooked

[viral kayak]

I just updated my bios to the newest version and didn’t think much about it. Haven’t had a single issue yet

[little quail]

I Just don't fully trust those fixes.

In the end Amd treats me well enough that i dont have to care anyway

[viral kayak]

I didn’t switch to amd because it’s not plug and play like staying on intel was

[little quail]

That is more than fair enough

[pure trellis]

Plug and play PC, isn't that just a prebuild?

[little quail]

More like an old school console

[cold skiff]

Tipping culture is wild

[little quail]

The good old times where on a console you didn't need to install any software onto its storage

[pure trellis]

Ps5 also plug and play, you will just need to wait a few minutes for updates

[little quail]

Plug, wait and play

[pure trellis]

5 min isn't long enough to add wait

[little quail]

Depends on your Internet connection

[viral kayak]

Well I would have to do a bit more than I did in my most recent upgrade if I swapped to amd

[pure trellis]

You really shouldn't get ps5 if connection is your main concern

[pure trellis]

Logging doesn't count

[cold skiff]

You mean the cartridge era

[viral kayak]

When Im reusing a old windows drive I would have to do more

[pure trellis]

PS2 technically in that category

[cold skiff]

Well no

It had an OS

[little quail]

It still counts since you didn't had to install or update stuff

[viral kayak]

I’m starting to feel like a Logitech fan boy after realizing how many Logitech peripherals I have

[pure trellis]

PS2 games shipped without needing patching,more like that

[cold skiff]

Post and go was best console era. It didn’t even show you the POST screen

It just worked

[tidal geyser]

just lock the voltage

[cold skiff]

And hope it doesn’t die

[viral kayak]

Eh I trust the microcode update enough

[tidal geyser]

the microcode for some reason does not really lock the voltages, iv seen it

[little quail]

Man wouldn't it be fun if we could get Ram so fast that we would need less of it

[viral kayak]

I saw some overclocked ram running 12000mhz

[little quail]

I heard of that i think

[viral kayak]

The timing was probably shit tho

[little quail]

And dont think about the cooling

[tidal geyser]

MT

[little quail]

MT/s

Anyway when do with Ram Speeds replace the Mega with Giga?

[tidal geyser]

huh

Mhz is the speed of the ram itself but due to Double Data Rate stuff the actul speed you feel or smn is in MT

[little quail]

But aren't those numbers since DDR4 high enough to drop the Mega and give them with the Giga Prefix

[mortal mantle]

are controllers basically required for emulation

[tidal geyser]

no?

but a lot of console games are ofc made for the controllers the system came with so will feel better a lot of the time.

[frigid blade]

you can map basically anything to emulated games

[mortal mantle]

seems like it though

since for latency
DualShock 4 (USB) > Touch > Keyboard
(tested with Project DIVA 2nd in PPSSPP)

[cold skiff]

Trusting Intel

[mortal mantle]

latency is weird though

[cold skiff]

It’s higher

[ebon marlin]

I'm being ragebaited at work

[cold skiff]

Crossfire 5700xt. Nice

[mortal mantle]

also how cursed is this keymapping

(dpad on triggers)

The fuck is soy ink

[grizzled frost]

ink made from soy, duh

[ebon marlin]

[tidal geyser]

ink made of soy and not petroleum

[grizzled frost]

no but unironically, that is exactly what it is

[ebon marlin]

[grizzled frost]

it's a rather similar process to making soy sauce

[frigid blade]

can i drink it then

[tidal geyser]

maybe

[mortal mantle]

how is touch lower latency than a fucking keyboard

(though a DS4 beats both)

[ebon marlin]

Free sticker

[grizzled frost]

MINE

[frigid blade]

might just be the emulator being bad

[grizzled frost]

i'd love to put that on my macbook

[tidal geyser]

i put a i9 sticker om my xmg with a am4 socket

[mortal mantle]

so PPSSPP being shit?

[frigid blade]

maybe

try other emulators to compare

[tidal geyser]

PPPSSSPPP

[ebon marlin]

Yummy girlfriends work laptop is a Thinkpad T14 Gen 5

[tidal geyser]

catto i was sent a T490

even tho i ordered a x1 gen 2 that was fully broken

[ebon marlin]

Is the t490 fully broken

Also pal was downgraded

[grizzled frost]

i'm slowly watching the local ISPs running fiber towards my neighborhood

AT&T hurry it up so i can give you my money

[grizzled frost]

i want 2g internet

[tidal geyser]

yup, i know since the seller said so iv not yet gotten it

[grizzled frost]

for the same price i pay for 400mbps download, and like 30mbps upload

and yes i mean 30, not 300, 30

[tidal geyser]

i thought you wanted to go back to 2g cellular

[grizzled frost]

NO, 2Gbps fiber internet, symmetrical at that

[frigid blade]

i hate how shit the xfinity upload is

[tidal geyser]

sadly most of Norway looks to be using 1Gb stuff so its not easy to find super high speed stuff

[frigid blade]

at 2gb you get like 400 up

[tidal geyser]

almost everything in Norway is sym

[frigid blade]

im so glad i switched to att fiber

[grizzled frost]

most of the new fiber lines being run are setup for 2g plans, not just 1g

[frigid blade]

i got gigabit symmetrical now

[grizzled frost]

i would kill for gigabit symmetrical

[ebon marlin]

My internet is through a sim card router now after we moved

[grizzled frost]

there was a ting rep about 2 years ago that promised me they were running fiber to my area and would have it "soon", 2 years ago

fuck you ting

[ebon marlin]

And for some reason ethernet doesn't work on the router

Big downgrade from coaxial

We also pay like 10€ more for half the speed we had b4

We had 600mbps for 25€ b4

[grizzled frost]

my current plan gets up to like 550mbps, even though 400 is only promised

it's about 80usd/month for that

[frigid blade]

thats wild

we pay 90/month for the gigabit

[grizzled frost]

there isn't really a cheaper or faster option rn

[ebon marlin]

American internet is expensive as hell despite being the birthplace of internet

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/4th-of-july-night-stars-twinkle-night-sky-gif-12650287553905147980

[grizzled frost]

mhm

[tidal geyser]

that is the issue

[grizzled frost]

it's basically 80-100usd/month regardless of speed

[tidal geyser]

they are using dirty and low quality fibers a lot of places

[ebon marlin]

Even a simple shitty few gb plan costs nearly a hundred per month

[tidal geyser]

and the equipment in some places is pretty old

also its america

[grizzled frost]

the equipment on my home has the old name of my provider, (they changed names 10 years ago)

i'd be terrified to see how old the distribution box looks

[ebon marlin]

Why the fuck did someone bring this to a recycling center

It's used aswell

[tidal geyser]

scrolling trough networking and i see this

[frigid blade]

do you ever keep any of the stuff ur supposed to recycle?

[tidal geyser]

aint there a cd in there?

[ebon marlin]
