[winged stone]

Also can I get some help with my setup? I think it is cursed...

[dapper light]

every source in the top 10 in google would say generative pretrained transformer
you'd have to intentionally make it up to even arrive to that

[spiral badge]

what m.2 drive should i be buying these days? im lookin for 2tb

[cosmic stratus]

@rigid fjord Does your settings for the ryzen 5 3600 also work on msi b550 Tomahawk

[winged stone]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/wd-black-sn7100-2-tb/

[spiral badge]

preciate it

[bitter crater]

220euro for 2 tb these days, yikes

[wheat torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/juice-help-me-help-me-milkshake-gif-1020708552566399722

so if you want more storage there is nothing else for you to do?

you just have to bite the cost?

[twin grove]

a crucial t710 1TB is $185 usd

[winged stone]

Thats like double the price per gb for only 3% more performance

[ocean axle]

I don't know why I remembered the other, but I get to eat face because yes that was wrong.

[twin grove]

yeah I am looking for a good sata ssd at this point as a game drive but they are almost just as epensive at this point

unless you go up to like 4TB

those are a good bit cheaper

[red light]

hey roguelogix look at this windows its windows!

[bitter crater]

activate your windows dammit

[ocean axle]

And, what of it?

[red light]

but yeah i like this windows verison

bro who send that image??

[winged stone]

Why is a link to a method used to activate Windows that LTT published in their own video banned?

[dapper light]

I don't think google wants an LTT sized channel promoting piracy

more precisely, telling you HOW

just like here

[viscid gull]

i bought a pre built and this is the parts list its valid right

[winged stone]

Whats the price?

[tidal geyser]

Why ask after

[winged stone]

Decent setup, built a similar one for a friend last year costing approx 2500 eur

[viscid gull]

i havent gotten it yet

[tidal geyser]

You said you bought it

[viscid gull]

in usd its 2790

ordered online

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/fat-cat-gif-10343311

[winged stone]

In this economy? Not bad

[tidal geyser]

I would get a better air cooler and maybe SSD but uh these times are not great for that one

[viscid gull]

yeah i bought a pre built to avoid the ram prices

[viscid gull]

that one is fine im not gonna overclock

[shrewd oriole]

No big fan of that cooler, when there's Thermalrights out there 😅

[tidal geyser]

Hyper 212 is the most basic overpriced cooler out there

[viscid gull]

well my current pc that ive used for 6 years has the amd stock cooler

[tidal geyser]

They still need to buy ram

[viscid gull]

and its had 0 issues

[tidal geyser]

What cpu

[viscid gull]

7 3700x

[tidal geyser]

The wraith prism is decent

But yeah no the hyper 212 might be fine but is probs gonna be loud.

[viscid gull]

i tested by taking all the exact same parts into a list and it was much more expensive

[shrewd oriole]

I'm just glad I built in late 2024 (9800x3D release times).

[tidal geyser]

Fair nuf

Anyhow iv said what o need to say.

[viscid gull]

https://pcpartpicker.com/b/ByrV3C this is my current pc

that im done using

[silk merlin]

What do y'all do with old cables and chargers?

I think that I can bring them to an e-waste disposal place near me, but any other ideas that you know of?

Note: I am not going to strip down the cables. lol

[tidal geyser]

O no

[silk merlin]

I literally have 25 years of cables stockpiled.

[tidal geyser]

I'm a horder

[limpid ivy]

lol panda hoards some stuff too

[silk merlin]

Same. I am trying not to be...as much.

[boreal tiger]

Is it possible to run windows on iphone?

[limpid ivy]

now do you hoard work laptop/desktops

[silk merlin]

er... perhaps I have a few. But that has not reached problem level yet.

[tidal geyser]

Should be by now have been able to on Android for a long while now

[silk merlin]

I at least got good at donating old, working computers.

[limpid ivy]

noice I've given a few out also

[limpid ivy]

But told them to not question or ask where I got it from.

[fossil oar]

my new space heater is just 14 110w peltier modules attached to a heatsink

[tidal geyser]

Car

[fossil oar]

i think i can cool my cup with one

[silk merlin]

Rinse

best stuff ever

trust me. It's like taking your sinuses to a car wash

[pulsar root]

Is it true that the difference between i3 i5 i7 i9 is that the lower the number the more errors in the chip; saw https://youtube.com/shorts/_Hty5p0Awb0?si=FtTZE88pMW1t-uFP

[silk merlin]

Whoa. That is news to me.

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[silk merlin]

Really? I never knew this. Interesting

[tidal geyser]

Just look at amd

There is a reason we have a 5500x3d or 7400f

[bleak ledge]

Can I get around this is if I ask for a dedicated IP from my VPN provider?

[tidal geyser]

Dedicated ip from vpn provider?

[bleak ledge]

They offer them for business customers

[tidal geyser]

Well become a business customer then.

[bleak ledge]

Probably easier for me to first route my traffic through an Azure VM and then on to the VPN provider instead

[thin plover]

is this like xylometazoline

[sharp ivy]

it's a pretty old cooler by this point

thermalright assasins are a better option

[tidal geyser]

i said dat

mister wants nothing to do with a different cooler

See #rules 1, 2, 6, & 9. Regardless of what happens off Discord, we are all required to abide by the ToS we agreed to when making a Discord account.

[ebon marlin]

Yeah

[wheat torrent]

link the video

[wheat torrent]

is that userbenchmarks

[winged stone]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJkRd9py5mA&t=448s

[wheat torrent]

good, do that instead

[winged stone]

this doesnt make any sense

that page is literally shown ahahaha

[wheat torrent]

right

but its differnet

you dont understand

[winged stone]

ahaha, yes thats it.

[wheat torrent]

well thats not allowed now and you will get moderated

[winged stone]

this is their own video

[wheat torrent]

yes

[left dove]

because linking the video is fine, talking about how to do the thing is not

[wheat torrent]

in one case your sending a link to a video by ltt

in another case youre showing how to 🏴‍☠️ which is allegedly illegal

idk if illegal but yeah

[winged stone]

this is insane but okay

[wheat torrent]

its not

[ivory mountain]

"its insane a discord partnered server wont tell me how to pirate windows" - LaAstatine

[formal sonnet]

It's not. See my prior response. #tech-chat-1 message

Discord servers (and all accounts in them) can be banned for violating the Terms of Use. Partnered / Community servers are expected to uphold the ToS and Community Guidelines even more so.

[winged stone]

No no no. Yeah, not promoting piracy is fine. This makes sense. But if that's the rule (and I don't make them), why is my link to the youtube video allowed?

[wheat torrent]

if I tell you instructions on how to create a firearm that shoots that is against the terms of use
if I show you the firearm I made that shoots that is allowed

there are ton of examples like these

[ivory mountain]

im pretty sure all firearms shoot

[plain cypress]

I think you should all pirate libre office

[wheat torrent]

if done properly

[ivory mountain]

we need to pirate roblox

its so expensive

[wheat torrent]

also LTT is not showing you how to pirate windows fully

they do say that its one command but they do not fully show you how to do it

[winged stone]

its alright ill drop this

not worth it

[wheat torrent]

I mean its how terms of use works

its nothing new or uncommon

as long as you do not break the rules fully then you're good

same way this is not a firearm and you do not need any documents whatsoever to own it and use it

[winged stone]

I get your point but if it was a 3d model for printing maybe its a problem

[wheat torrent]

no i dont mean the image

[ivory mountain]

holy sybau guys damnnnnn

[wheat torrent]

I mean the actual revolver in the image

you can buy that and own it, under US federal law it does not count as a firearm

since it uses blackpowder

[winged stone]

Well here in Ireland the Gardai would be knocking on my door

[drifting urchin]

we must never create 3d metal printers or allow AI/robots that technology because then the terminators will be able to repair themselfs and duplicate

it will start with cars, like headlights and such

[wheat torrent]

in ireland yeah

[drifting urchin]

motorbikes and home plumbing jobs lol

[winged stone]

https://proofofcorn.com/

Maybe someone does this with technology like that instead

[wheat torrent]

but my point is that this would be considered a firearm if it used normal rounds but because it uses gunpowder it is not considered a firearm

a loophole

[drifting urchin]

not yet it cant

[hexed tapir]

But in Australia this is classified as a firearm (paintball gun)

[wheat torrent]

lol

[wheat torrent]

what about crossbows or bows?

[hexed tapir]

Best part is you can ship that black powder gun to your house. And even ship the 45 long colt conversion cylinder to shoot regular ammo

[wheat torrent]

yep

[wheat torrent]

you can own a musket and a revolver lmfao

[hexed tapir]

https://www.abf.gov.au/importing-exporting-and-manufacturing/prohibited-goods/firearms/firearm-categories nope but gel blasters and airsoft guns can fall under a firearm

[wheat torrent]

[winged stone]

Is a musket the perfect weapon for a crime? No rifling marks. No unspent casings.

Cop: .65 caliber ball. Hmmm, I wonder what gun could have done this crime.

[wheat torrent]

lmfao this counts as a muzzleloader in US, dont need to go through FFA

this whole loadout also

[hexed tapir]

I should buy and ship a black powder revolver to my house. But black powder is messy

[wheat torrent]

imagine if they sold this at walmarts

lmao

I did watch a police shooting video recently where a muzzleloader revovler was involved

I bet you can get pretty fast at reloading those

[hexed tapir]

A few months ago a Colorado man got in a police shoot out using a ak looking airsoft gun

[wheat torrent]

I saw

what was he even doing

[hexed tapir]

Probably drugs

[craggy cove]

u gotta mess around to make it usable

[swift stream]

wifi driver setup bypass

[ebon marlin]

I think BazziteOS is nearing it's end potentially

[zealous atlas]

what do you mean wifi driver setup bypass?

[craggy cove]

oobe\bypassnro still working so yeah

[zealous atlas]

I just got a windows 11 laptop a few days ago and the wifi range is terrible

[swift stream]

i feel like newer MacOS would be way more popular if it supported ryzen chips and gpus+ x64 game files

[ebon marlin]

They banned the lead developer of Bazzite who has done 99% of Bazzite's commits on Github lmao

[craggy cove]

hackintosh?

but on newer macos

[swift stream]

the m4 chip actually looks godlike apple just wouldn't make it a consumer product

[craggy cove]

why do you think thats because of w11

[craggy cove]

consumer? wdym

[grizzled frost]

Wdym? it is a consumer product

[craggy cove]

its a soc, you cant put it in your pc if thats what you mean

[swift stream]

the chip itself, instead of prebuilt into macs and macbooks

[zealous atlas]

Because I googled the model and wifi issues and one of the first thing that comes up is people having wifi issues after a windows 11 update from earlier this month

[rigid fjord]

it should, you just would have to go through msi's way of doing pbo tuning

[grizzled frost]

Not possible to have it as a socketable chip

[craggy cove]

its an soc

[grizzled frost]

it is inherently an SOC

[ebon marlin]

[tired bear]

lol remove that hp eye ease sticker

[ebon marlin]

But I don't want to

[winged stone]

But then how would they know if its a hp eye ease monitor?

[ebon marlin]

Exactly

It won't be an eye ease monitor if it won't have the sticker on it

[formal sonnet]

What? No, you can't do that. If you remove the sticker the "Eye Ease" feature stops working.

[ebon marlin]

Exactly

[tired bear]

Hey do any of yall have a good recommendation for a laptop, I have the zen book duo at the moment but I am debating on selling and switching because I never actually use the dual screen and the battery sucks on this thing. I really just want a good solid laptop that will run flawlessly and has at Least over 100hz monitor

I mainly use it for school and stuff like that and occasionally league or something

[tired bear]

if you just want a bigger battery get a laptop powerbank

No

it’s clearly still liquid if you squished it with the cooler

youre getting two AAA games for the price of one AAA game. Really you should be grateful to Nintendo for allowing you to play their games at all

[ivory mountain]

ik this is sarcastic but fuckkk like i bought 3d all stars in 2020 and they want people to pay another 70 to play a game that shouldve been included 😭

[tired bear]

what do you have in your pc

[ebon marlin]

If your power draw is 750-800 you should get a 1000-1200w psu instead

[winged stone]

power draw is 800W

thats pretty beefy

Is my fine setup fine? I didnt want to cover ram slots cuz my sticks havent arrived yet so i just want easy installation

[latent gull]

?

[true stirrup]

Just move the left fan to the right side when you get the ram

[midnight drift]

Does it have to be there?

[grizzled frost]

it's better for it to be there

[midnight drift]

Why

[grizzled frost]

easier for a fan to push air into a space with impedance than pull air through a space with impedance

[midnight drift]

And which one do i put the cpu cooler fans into?

Manual kinda trash

[grizzled frost]

the ones labeled CPU_fan

[midnight drift]

Oh i see

Well hidden

[mint umbra]

no one will be able to afford pcs for like next 4 -5 years

[versed ferry]

What are those fans setup to pull air through the radiator, right?

[grizzled frost]

There's plenty of people that can afford PCs right now, and for the forseeable future

RAM prices aren't great, but it isn't bad enough to make PCs entirely unattainable

[mint umbra]

doubtful with rising ram gpu, ssd prices

[grizzled frost]

it won't continue going up for 4-5 years mate

it'll go up for a year, then crash, like it always does

[mint umbra]

compaines have bought memory that hasnt even been produced yet for 2028

[versed ferry]

Hopefully it won't last that long. I'm hopeful, at least. But yeah I'm pissed about this shit too. Hopefully the AI bubble bursts soon, or the market fixes itself.

[grizzled frost]

who tf told you that?

[mint umbra]

read articles

[grizzled frost]

All i've seen is contracts sold through to the beginning of 2027

you can't just say "read articles" and refuse to cite a source

[mint umbra]

you think I bookmark every article I read

[rose glacier]

also u forget china is have now 2 big plants also for dramm

[grizzled frost]

I think that you have the basic ability to use google

[mint umbra]

I dont trust china

[rose glacier]

i dont trust usa eather or my own country

they will put spywear on shit

[grizzled frost]

how the hell do you put spywear on a DRAM chip

[rose glacier]

and u think other companies dont

[mint umbra]

would rather usa spying that china

[grizzled frost]

you know almost 0 dram is produced in the US?

[warm anvil]

On linux too btw

[grizzled frost]

i mean linux isn't inherently better

worse gaming performance and most contexts

[warm anvil]

Takes less resources tho

[grizzled frost]

true

[warm anvil]

Not for the games I can play

[grizzled frost]

well, can be true

[warm anvil]

Only games I can actually run are indie games and counter strike source

[true stirrup]

It really does depend on the distro as well

[mint umbra]

[warm anvil]

Swapped to linux like a week ago and wanted to personalize it a bit

[winged stone]

the eye cant see more than 24 pixels per minute anyways

[warm anvil]

[mint umbra]

If I get 1440p my gpu will last longer

[grizzled frost]

what?

wdym what 4k is harder to run

than 1440p

[warm anvil]

Once I buy a pc I'm gonna get arch on my laptop

yes...? i don't see how that would cause it to die quicker

[mint umbra]

so gpu will last longer

[grizzled frost]

oh no! it'll be dead in 14 years instead of 15!

[mint umbra]

games become harder to run

[grizzled frost]

what a tragedy!

[mint umbra]

year by year

[mint umbra]

longer than that mate

[true stirrup]

Glhf

[warm anvil]

I mean it's not for another few months till I can get it

[ivory mountain]

people with a job can afford a pc

[mint umbra]

you can run 1440p on some pretty meh gpus

[clear canyon]

yeah lol

[mint umbra]

you know theres other things ppl need to pay for

[grizzled frost]

okay?

[clear canyon]

its not impossible to buy a pc

[mint umbra]

rent food car ect

[hexed tapir]

Door dash

[ivory mountain]

yep and if you budget correctly you can buy a pc

[true stirrup]

Praying that you get a good deal on ram during that time

[grizzled frost]

what exactly even is your concern? that your GPU is magically going to die because games get harder to run?

[clear canyon]

plus there is office PC's you can buy for cheap

[warm anvil]

Holy guacamole it went down

[mint umbra]

not when rent is 1800 dollars a month

[grizzled frost]

THE WORLD IS HEALING!

[true drift]

holy this is slow

its still going

[ivory mountain]

if youre paying 1800 a month for rent on purpose instead of going somewhere cheaper ur a dumbass

[hexed tapir]

Live in car

[warm anvil]

YEAHH

[mint umbra]

where I live thats average price of rent

[ivory mountain]

im still on a 6900xt and it runs great 😭

[clear canyon]

you have complained about this before, its only a you issue on that

[warm anvil]

My cpu price decreased by £1

The world is healing

[mint umbra]

In canada house and rent is expensive everywhere

[hexed tapir]

People rent out bedrooms for 800ish in my area

[mint umbra]

ppl are leaving canada cuz they cant afford to live here anymore

[true drift]

i added 2 more cores to the vm

[ivory mountain]

people should leave canada anyways who tf wants to live there

[true drift]

didnt help

[warm anvil]

Aand the GPU is off sale

[clear canyon]

boot up a different vm

[mint umbra]

ppl who dont want to get shot on the side of the street like america

[ivory mountain]

[grizzled frost]

that's not even an actual concern people have in the US

Unless you are actually going to buy stuff rn stop looking at the prices

how old is your hardware? does win11 work good on it?

nope just install the greatest operating system of all time windows 11 🥱

[warm anvil]

I'm only like halfway there 😭

[clear canyon]

My main system is ryzen 7000 and my others are ryzen 5000

[warm anvil]

[ivory mountain]

windows is free, just not open source

does windows run good?

[clear canyon]

yep

[hexed tapir]

https://www.howtogeek.com/the-latest-windows-11-update-is-causing-pcs-to-refuse-to-shut-down/ so good you can't turn it off

[warm anvil]

Windows is free, open source AND doesn't come with the French language pack

[mint umbra]

either way off topic not everyone is fortunate enough to afford a pc at these prices

[ivory mountain]

😭

[clear canyon]

windows isnt open source

[true drift]

interesting, i have one computer in my house which my dad uses for gaming and my mom uses for work and things keep breaking after windows updates

[warm anvil]

Just unplug pc

[warm anvil]

Its a joke

[clear canyon]

odd

[ivory mountain]

youre the type of person to justify someone saying they cant afford a ps5 when theyve had so many years to save 😭

[hexed tapir]

i7 4770 optiplex PCs are under $70

[clear canyon]

hard to tell, especially since windows is free lol

[mint umbra]

mate there is more important things ppl have to save up for than a pc

[warm anvil]

Why do 5 year olds not have a pc they have had 5 years to save

[warm anvil]

It's not tho

[mint umbra]

like a house or a new car

[grizzled frost]

okay?

[hexed tapir]

Who dumb enough to buy a new car

[ivory mountain]

5 year olds shouldnt have a pc, ps5, or anything like that

[clear canyon]

yes it is, you can go get an ISO and download it rn

[warm anvil]

4 year olds then

[mint umbra]

used market aint much better these days

[warm anvil]

Cant activate it tho

[mint umbra]

atleast where im at

[grizzled frost]

used market is a lot better these days

[clear canyon]

so? thats like 0.000001% of what windows can do

its free

[true stirrup]

you can

[grizzled frost]

you can also activate windows for free, i just can't elaborate cause mods get angy

[warm anvil]

Illegally yeah but that's obviously not intended

[grizzled frost]

just go watch that one LTT video

[grizzled frost]

is it really illegal if windows support has repeatedly suggested its use for people having issues with the license?

[true stirrup]

It's gray area and Microsoft themselves do tell you how to do it
But you won't hear it from us here because it's against the rules

[ivory mountain]

i bought my pc purely off of side hustles, bought my gpu in 2023 when i was 15, along with my 7800x3d, mobo, psu, ram, everything, so idk why people act like its impossible to save up for something

[plucky lodge]

what is the name of that custom os u installed?

[warm anvil]

Yeah I know I dont even use windows

[ivory mountain]

yeah its a great custom OS called windows 11 24h2

[warm anvil]

Thats crazy

[mint umbra]

mate some ppl are living pay check to pay check

[warm anvil]

What if I dont want to do allat

[ivory mountain]

mf i didnt have a paycheck how is this relevant 🤣

[hexed tapir]

Ezpz

[grizzled frost]

then don't?

[warm anvil]

U right

[clear canyon]

get a job then

[warm anvil]

Can't

[clear canyon]

then get a side hussle

[true stirrup]

Some people are just bad with money
My brother had the environmental variables for money as I have and somehow he is completely broke

[warm anvil]

Maybe

[ivory mountain]

like idk why they brought up the argument that people are paycheck to paycheck, i didnt have a paycheck

[hexed tapir]

Only ipads

[true stirrup]

It's Damocles

[mint umbra]

for you it is

[grizzled frost]

your only argument is "poor people exist"

[mint umbra]

yall just sound privileged

[hexed tapir]

All poor people can't buy a $70 i7 4th gen optiplex and a $70-200 gpu

[mint umbra]

acting like raising pc prices aint an issue for less fortunate ppl

[grizzled frost]

You're just entirely unwilling to accept that people are indeed actually able to budget to purchase things that bring them joy

[ivory mountain]

another issue is bad financial decisions too, they wont drive a sub 10k car until they can afford better, some people buy a ridicuously expensive car and then get stuck with the car payment, it gets towed when they dont pay it, then theyre fucked

[grizzled frost]

It absolutely is unfortunate, doesn't mean that "no one will be able to afford pcs for like next 4 -5 years"

[mint umbra]

Mate yeah no shit ppl who make good money can afford them

[ivory mountain]

youre not getting the point

[grizzled frost]

Then why did you make the claim "no one will be able to afford pcs for like next 4 -5 years"

[mint umbra]

ppl who make good money was never the issue with these rising prices

[grizzled frost]

like if you save 50 dollars a month, in 6-12 months you can afford a PC that will play light games in 1080p and do fine with media streaming

[keen folio]

i really have to limit my download speed so my router doesnt off itself...

[grizzled frost]

near 99% of the population can set aside 12 dollars a week

[ivory mountain]

i havent seen anyone not complain about the ram prices regardless of financial status though so im confused as to what youre implying

[clear canyon]

just put a fan on it

[hexed tapir]

Poor people can't save up for a $250 pc

[keen folio]

heat aint a problem. its not going past 40°C

[grizzled frost]

12 dollars a week for 6 months buys you this btw

[keen folio]

and its only throttling at around 60°C

[hexed tapir]

Then I can't buy my daily soda or coffee!

[mint umbra]

My extra money goes to retirement fund

[odd sparrow]

could someone help me with my internet?

[ivory mountain]

we have a coffee maker but i fucking hate coffee so i dont use it

you're talking here, so you have internet, problem solved!

the south getting the tiniest bit of snow

[mint umbra]

I handle my money fine the costs of living has increased vastly in past few years

wages have stayed same and everything costs more

[grizzled frost]

it ain't the snow that's the problem, it's the ice

[keen folio]

some people cant even afford this because they live paycheck to paycheck. for many its really hard.. guess why there is such a big homeless problem. Rising prices everywhere. Not just the Hardware market. ive been there and still am, im glad im able to live with my mom during my apprenticeship. its not 99%, more like 75% of the world population is in the lower pay category.

[ivory mountain]

we're gonna get SO much ice

[winter lantern]

Yeah i got like 3h of snow and it stops

[grizzled frost]

it's gonna be a lot of ice

[rose glacier]

the only privalaged people here are the people with coffee in there hands right now

[ivory mountain]

coffee tastes like shit

[mint umbra]

better than those unhealthy energy drinks

[swift stream]

and schools will get cancelled

[rose glacier]

blasphemy

[ivory mountain]

a coffee maker is $100 so i guess $100 makes me wealthy

shit some even less

[mint umbra]

canceling school over some ice lmao

[ivory mountain]

ice is really fuckin bad for driving

[rose glacier]

coffee is the god tier drink of the people

[mint umbra]

I drive in it like every other day mate

[rose glacier]

🤣

[winter lantern]

Bro doesn't know about mountainous back roads

[grizzled frost]

anyone will a full time job can afford to save 12 dollars a month, that may not be best spent on a PC, but that is more than 90% of the population

[swift stream]

"emo juice"

[hexed tapir]

And the summer tires

[grizzled frost]

also canada has the infrastructure to plow roads and whatnot, the southern US doesn't, because we don't ever get snow/ice

best we can do is salt the roads a week ahead of time, but that'll wash away fairly quickly, and freeze into ice

[ivory mountain]

the most they do is salt the roads, here in NC we dont rly get this kinda weather so they dont have the equipment

[warm anvil]

how can i fix this

[hexed tapir]

Just dump salt on the road ezpz

[ivory mountain]

yeah they just salted ours

[keen folio]

i dont think you know how little minimum wage actually is. do you? and for many people in other countries where its even lower than the US its nearly impossible to get anything except rent, groceries and a few necessities..

[true stirrup]

Update the mirrors

[mint umbra]

you just have to drive slower and leave bigger spaces between other cars

incease your slip a bit

[keen folio]

try in #linux

[swift stream]

people in the south cannot drive

[grizzled frost]

12 dollars a week is ~2 dollars per day of work, you can damn near find that on the ground nowadays

[warm anvil]

how

[rose glacier]

and thats why imagrants exist in all countries

[warm anvil]

when i do sudo apt update thats the error i get

[mint umbra]

how does living in south mean they cant drive

[rose glacier]

the look for a better world from where the came from

[ivory mountain]

well in the usa no job actually pays the federal minimum wage or state minimum wage, even fast food pays 1.5x it on average

[hexed tapir]

Could make that dumpster diving for cans to recycle

[mint umbra]

how do I fix my pc gets these speeds and other devices are fine

[hexed tapir]

Buy a 5090 pc

[grizzled frost]

Like genuinely, I get people are poor and saving up is hard, i'm very aware, but 2 dollars per day is very reasonable

[winter lantern]

Erm waiters 🤓 ☝️

[mint umbra]

I already tried updated drivers

[warm anvil]

do u have updated wifi drivers

[keen folio]

You're just making my claim more believable.. you have no clue what minimum wage means and how little it is.

[mint umbra]

yes

Might just need to buy a new mother board

[keen folio]

One of the many reasons why there are immigrants, yes. but not the main reason.

[ivory mountain]

they get paid tips as well, which is a scummy business model, as your pay is directly proportionate to generosity and store business

[mint umbra]

they are attached mate

why would I ever take them off

[grizzled frost]

You still have to legally make at least federal minimum wage

[keen folio]

They are still paid like trash for the work they do.

[winter lantern]

No you dont

[true stirrup]

No clue how to do it on Ubuntu

[hexed sage]

if i got 8 1/8 odds in a row wouldnt that be 8^8? im no mathemetician

[mint umbra]

tiping culture needs to go

[grizzled frost]

Though that can include tips if your employer chooses to take a tip credit

[keen folio]

Its federal law, bro...

[swift stream]

how people with the 5090 make me look for using a 6750 xt in 2026:

[winter lantern]

I mean its optional

[mint umbra]

the customor shouldnt be resposible on if you can make a living wage or not

[tired bear]

there are two minumum wages, with tips and without

[mint umbra]

ppl will spit in ur food and shit if you dont tip

[grizzled frost]

Yes, Yes you do, Federal law dictates that the pay including tips must meet 7.25/ hour, or the pay from your employer must make up the difference

[winter lantern]

You tip after

[hexed tapir]

I Already see 2 cans to make money on

[grizzled frost]

That is Federal law

[ivory mountain]

most restaurant workers are $2 + tips, outback (i worked at) was $6 an hour + tips

the issue was this is that i worked 25 hours and made $100 one week, i quit so fast, the restaurant business is a scam and thats why you continuously seeing some restaurants having closed off spaces

[mint umbra]

not with deliveries

[winter lantern]

Expect for waiters because tips

[hexed tapir]

We stoped slavery

[grizzled frost]

No, That is not how US federal law works

[winter lantern]

Yeah but that makes sense to tip cause theyre putting in effort

[hexed sage]

my friend makes $4/hour

as a waiter

[winter lantern]

Sucks for them

[grizzled frost]

That is the pay from the employer, as I stated, Tips have to make up the difference for that to be legal

They're essentially taking the tips you make, and counting that as your pay, allowing the employer to pay you less, via the tip credit

[hexed sage]

it does but its still insane to me

[keen folio]

he is kinda right. one google search approves of that. but, it always depends on the contract the employee has with their employer

[grizzled frost]

It is federally illegal for you to make less than 7.25/hour including tips

[tired bear]

if someone gives you 30$ tip your employer can now pay you 2.13$ per hour for rest of month

[ivory mountain]

i worked at outback steakhouse, they bypass it, on nonbusy days the tipshare was deadass like $12, so you can easily make only $3-4 an hour. i filed many reports on that restaurant and the US doesnt give a shit about any complaints, its ludicrous

[mint umbra]

effort ? they are jsut dropping off my food

[keen folio]

As long as a Tipped worker makes 30USD/month in tips minimum the employer only has to pay the employee 2.13$ in wage....

[grizzled frost]

That is entirely untrue, if your tips do not make up the difference in pay so as to meet the federal minimum wage of 7.25, then your employer is breaking federal law

[mint umbra]

like tipping culture is out of control

[grizzled frost]

That isn't true! That is not how the federal tip credit works

[keen folio]

one search finds you all the infos on that.

[hexed tapir]

If it wasn't effort your lazy ass would drive to get the food yourself

[tired bear]

well waiters do the same thing, take food from kitchen and deliver it to the table

[ivory mountain]

this is funny coming from the guy that said that full time workers cant afford a pc if they save

[hexed sage]

bros using ai

[grizzled frost]

"The employer must ensure that cash wage plus tips reaches at least 7.25USD/hour; if not, they must top up the pay" YOU LITERALLY ARE DISAGREEING WITH YOURSELF

[winter lantern]

Yeah driving takes time

[keen folio]

And? You can also find it on google itself.

[hexed tapir]

All without putting wear and tear on their cars and risking their lives driving*

[winter lantern]

You're so stupid lol

[tired bear]

yep

[grizzled frost]

The only way you can make 30usd/month in tips, and still be paid 2.13 an hour, is if you work next to no hours

[mint umbra]

their employers should be responsible for them paying not the customers

[grizzled frost]

That would have to change at the federal level, there is nothing the consumer can do to change that

[winter lantern]

But you get way more than what a salary would give

[swift stream]

people really going crazy for a chickfila cup

[grizzled frost]

outside of petitioning your representatives

[ivory mountain]

this is what rich people say and its really contradicting every argument you said earlier today

[ivory mountain]

i havent had chick fil a in ages

[mint umbra]

its not just rich ppl mate

[tired bear]

its crazy that waiters tipicaly make more than chefs in US

[keen folio]

No, i am not. 99% of tipped workers make more than 30USD/Month in tips. thus the employer almost always only pays 2.13$/H.

Why do you talk about high end PCs h

its not a hot take saying they should be paid a normal wage instead of relying on tips to get by

[grizzled frost]

cause i own one?

[ivory mountain]

my pc was high end 5 years ago but i dont give opinions on parts i havent rly tested

[grizzled frost]

It's not a hot take, but it's one that we have almost zero control to meaningfully change

[hexed tapir]

The French did

[mint umbra]

canada changed it so why cant usa

[winter lantern]

Cause I have one

[hexed tapir]

GTX nah bro

[grizzled frost]

Almost like our governments are structured very differently

I own a broken 4090 so that evens it out

okay well the french just get a kick out of burning down government buildings

[tired bear]

if the US tried that the US military would just suppress it

(i don't agree with the US military being used to suppress protesters)

But that's what happens

[tired bear]

freedom... yea

[winter lantern]

So we should be allowed to burn down buildings

If enough people want it

[mint umbra]

they just have to pass a bill they requires them to pay everyone atleast mini wage

regardless of tips

No, but we should be allowed to exercise our freedom of assembly and freedom of speech which is protected under the first amendment

HAHAH! yeah right, cause that's definitely how that works

tell me what happened in minneapolis when people tried to do that?

Oh right, they tried to bring in the nation guard to forcefully end it

This really isn't the place to talk politics though, so i'll leave it at that

this looks real spicy to me, sorta standard ish E-ATX, feebie NIC and 20% discount on top

[grizzled frost]

i'll probably just buy another Dell Intel machine

maybe an R730XD LFF

i think my next upgrade will be optane for my NAS

[tired bear]

intel needs start making and selling optane again

[grizzled frost]

i wish

[tired bear]

those ram modules would be gobbled up by ai

[ocean axle]

I have a couple non-xd 730 lffs I need to get rid of

[grizzled frost]

i'm interested...

what even is the difference between the R730XD and R730

[ocean axle]

8 instead of 12 bays

[mint umbra]

these day I just use pc to watch youtube and shit

[ocean axle]

I'm in socal, and shipping can be a bitch, where are you?

[grizzled frost]

NC

that'd be like 150usd in shipping alone

[ocean axle]

Whelp, that's gonna be a no

[grizzled frost]

Yeah no worries, i wouldn't want to bother with that either

[ocean axle]

It's just not worth it on this low value of a server

That are also heavy

[grizzled frost]

Yeah, the shipping is more than the actual value of the server

[mint umbra]

I dont need pc for work or anythign so pc is just for gaming

[grizzled frost]

I also just got a new server, so i'll keep myself from buying another server for a bit

otherwise i'll outgrow my rack too quickly

and i don't think i can convince the parents to have a 48u in their spare bedroom quite yet

[lime berry]

yet

[grizzled frost]

i'm already at 16u used

of my 20u

though 2u is a blanking panel underneath my UPS saving space for a later expansion unit

[tired bear]

should have bought full rack

[grizzled frost]

I barely convinced them to tolerate 20u, let alone 48u

[ocean axle]

See, I need to be rid of these before I move

Well, preferably before I move

[tired bear]

homelabsales time

[lime berry]

i managed to convince my parents to put a 48u rack in the basement
now i have to convince my dad to help me transport it 450km

[grizzled frost]

i don't have a basement unfortunately

[tired bear]

data shed...

[grizzled frost]

no shed either

[tired bear]

can be fixed

[spring latch]

Windows 2000 is so fucking close to XP in terms of the kernel that using XP drivers I got Wi-Fi working on Windows 2000 LMFAO

[grizzled frost]

would probably be like 1500usd to buy/build a shed

i'm also short on space in my service panel, only a single spot left

so i'd be capped at 120v 20a

[hexed tapir]

wanna talk about your server and Mini figure addiction?

[tired bear]

you can install those doubled up breakers

[lime berry]

damn 120v 20a is like nothing

[grizzled frost]

2400w

only 1920w usable though

pesky 80% continuous load limits

[ocean axle]

Mini?

[hexed tapir]

Idk the term for your weeb plastic

[lime berry]

I am am from austria and 10 or 13A breakers are used for lights here at 240v, 16a for normal power plugs and rooms

[tired bear]

mighty and small 11kw plug

[ocean axle]

Some are small, some very aren't

[grizzled frost]

you gonna find space in my service panel for that?

[ocean axle]

Can that power a 5090 without melting?

[tired bear]

no you need 63a version for that

[ionic atlas]

I'm be calling it the 16A plug

[ocean axle]

fuck

[grizzled frost]

i guess single pole i could go 30a

[grizzled frost]

would need a specialized PDU/UPS though

that would be 2880w usable, 3600w technical max

[tired bear]

cee 16a 5p

[grizzled frost]

5 pole?

goddamn

[ionic atlas]

yeah poles, not pins.

[ebon marlin]

Damn, the legion go is also perfect for reading manga

[tired bear]

remove two above it, and combine them with this kind of breaker that only takes up 1 space

[lime berry]

new houses are limited to 20a per phase standard (25a if you ask and pay a tiny bit more). The old connection that we still have is at 40A per phase so happy to have that

[grizzled frost]

That would require a licensed electrician, no?

[tired bear]

and installing additional circuit wouldnt?

[grizzled frost]

i'm more willing to accidentally add a circuit without licensure than fuck around with existing circuits

[ionic atlas]

here one of those would be this.

[tired bear]

i am not a US sparky so i wouldnt know

[tired bear]

yea i know, installed plenty myself

[grizzled frost]

actually might know someone who's licensed who'd be willing to do the work for some beer

[ionic atlas]

15A tho, only time I saw that was when it was based around UK power systems rather than EU

[grizzled frost]

that's 2 pole

[lime berry]

you only need a licensed electrician if you live an apartment and rent in austria don't know about the us tho

[tired bear]

your insurance would disagree

[stray portal]

Im thinking of making a high end haswell build on which i would run windows 8.1

[hexed tapir]

Hire the old home owner of the new ltt tech house

[grizzled frost]

okay so to do electrical contracting work, you need licensure in my state, but for a homeowner to do it, you don't need licensure, just potentially the relevant permits depending on what you're doing

[stray portal]

How would it perform on games

[warm anvil]

damnn peak

[ionic atlas]

here, we can build a electric box, but a electrician need to have inspect it and do the final connection for it to be approved.

[warm anvil]

hi ubuntu cinnamon guy

it is very good

[ebon marlin]

So far legion go is miles better than the steam deck

[grizzled frost]

also i thought panel breakers would be more expensive, 7usd for a 30a 120v breaker ain't bad

[ebon marlin]

Feels nice having a 120hz screen not stuck on 60hz

[lime berry]

who needs insurance if they weasle their way out of paying anyways

[grizzled frost]

so assuming i can go 240v by fucking around with my circuits and freeing up some room, what would be the most common connector for UPSs/PDUs

[stray portal]

Sooooo nice

[tired bear]

yea, just combine top two into one, then you have space for a 240 breaker
run a underground line to shed and put a subpanel there for regular circuits

[warm anvil]

thanks

[stray portal]

Seems like ur enjoying it

[warm anvil]

also the first game i played on linux was css

[warm anvil]

yeah its fun

[grizzled frost]

I was hoping to have a single consolidated 240v circuit for my rack, i'd appreciate the added efficiency

[stray portal]

I might go back to linux if windows 12 is dookie ive been using opensuse for a while and its great for me

[grizzled frost]

also i'd just need cabling rated for direct burial right?

[tired bear]

c13 or c19 for higher power stuff

[warm anvil]

isnt windows 12 meant to be mostly ai based

[stray portal]

Yeah if it is im gonna switch

[grizzled frost]

there is exactly 0 info on win12

[tired bear]

sure you can do that but subpanel is nice so you can run some ordenary sockets and lights

[stray portal]

Linux has its flaws especially with gaming but imo i could put up with it if it turns out sloppy

But imo i dont think its gonna be just ai slop as the ai bubble is dying

[warm anvil]

all the lower end games i play work amazing

better than windows even

[stray portal]

Also recent changes to windows 11 are great like the new menu is like windows 11

[grizzled frost]

I could theoretically do a 240v 30a breaker from the main panel to the secondary panel in the shed, then do a 240v 20a breaker for my rack, and 120v 15a for some lights and shit right?

[tired bear]

afaik yes

[grizzled frost]

something to consider for when i get my own home, very outside the scope of parent approval

[tired bear]

just dont bond neutral and gnd in the subpanel as that is very against nec

[mint umbra]

wonder what other stuff I should be doing with my pc other than just gaming

[ocean axle]

no, generally

[lime berry]

i wonder what the maximum amps are that you can get on a regular connection for a house in croatia

[ocean axle]

and then theres me installing an entire solar system for my dad (dealing with 200a 240v, 350a 50v, and 4x 20A 500v)

[tired bear]

asymetrical 3 phase
32a+32a+25a

[warm anvil]

who wins in a fight fight linus or linus

*Fist fight

[ocean axle]

linus

[warm anvil]

agreed

linus easily wins

[spiral badge]

i just bought an m.2 ssd, how do i transfer over my OS to the new nvme drive?

[hexed tapir]

Nah Linus would beat the shit out of Linus

[ocean axle]

clearly linus would win, like, its not even a contest going up against linus

[hexed tapir]

With Software

[spiral badge]

windows 11

[stray portal]

Fake linus

[lime berry]

still less than the connection you can get for 200€ and some beer

[ocean axle]

you push some buttons to make the grid of lights show the right pattern

[ionic atlas]

bare windows 8.1 def snappy and pretty low resource use.

[tired bear]

tf you larping about

[hexed tapir]

#1027757333117415424 or the countless online guides

[lime berry]

workers at hep putting in stronger breakers than in the contract for some money

[hexed tapir]

We should bring back knob and tube wiring

[tired bear]

they install electronic meters now that will cut your power if you exceed your rating

[hexed tapir]

Turn on xmp

[warm anvil]

ill build my own ram with copper wire and tape

how can i make cava and neofetch appear on startup?

[hexed tapir]

[warm anvil]

like in this photo

[ionic atlas]

right, it was disabled when it booted with that bios error message about unknown raid earlier.

[ocean axle]

That, seems like something that should happen, then you just go reset the breaker

[tired bear]

yes, they install a button in your panel that resets it

[lime berry]

can they at least untrip the breakers without having to wait for electricians from hep to do it

[tired bear]

reffer to the button

[grizzled frost]

HBA will be here on monday, then i can benchmark my 24 drives

[rough salmon]

has thje latest windows update broke performance? my laptop goes dead laggy when i open discord

[tired bear]

this is data they see

[warm anvil]

linux moment

[rough salmon]

i even get massive stutters like every 30 seconds

[ionic atlas]

now...the big question... what to do with all this 30,6 gb unused ram

[lime berry]

personally got 35A breakers in the power meter box only so i don't have to call them every few weeks because my mother decides to use the boiler, stove, oven, dryer and every other thing that runs on electricity at the same time. the main breaker in the house is 25a like they were originally outside

[warm anvil]

1000 tabs on edge

[rough salmon]

oh, its discord issues, its taking 20% of my cpu when it normally only takes 5%

[tired bear]

unbalanced load...

[rough salmon]

whats happening bro, used to work just fine

[warm anvil]

try clearing cache?turn of discord hardware acceleration and game overlay

[hexed tapir]

In 2026 it feels like every w11 update breaks something

[rough salmon]

how do clear cache on discords

[warm anvil]

https://www.guidingtech.com/fix-discord-high-cpu-usage/

[lime berry]

ripping out the electrical that is currently used and redoing it is planned but that's only possible when the whole family isn't at home. The eletrical was done 20 years ago and was designed around a 15kW 3 phase electrical water heater and the kitchen being in the basement

with 2 floors being on one phase and then adding a kitchen to it it was bound to cause issues

[rough salmon]

did it all still having stutter, i think its either discord latest update or windows itself

[visual jacinth]

can someone help me, my pc just hard locked, so i held down the power button and restarted it, everything had really weird proportions and the quality was terrible, so i loaded into safe mode, used ddu, when i logged back in, i got a black screen, then my wallpaper, showed up, then the icons, i clicked on the google chrome icon since there was no taskbar, i went to amds website, downloaded the 26.1.1 drivers, when i downloaded them, it says download failed

[frosty ruin]

Schuko Max 16A until a breaker pops

3680 Watts Max

[ionic atlas]

yeah it went worse than chrome, with chrome i can fill a lot of many thousands of tabs. edge starting to use a lot of ram and sometimes get the whole page stop responding thing, but they both did open 1000 tabs tho.

[gloomy minnow]

anyone else had a windows update cus i just did it and now my SSD is at 100% constant, active time 100

i’m now currently tryna roll back by pressing the go back button on recovery setting

been sat on that screen for about 10 mins roughly

[warm anvil]

i found a cat in my terminal caht

[empty quartz]

Sata ssd?

[gloomy minnow]

yeah

[empty quartz]

Theres your issue

Get an nvme

[gloomy minnow]

wdym?
i’ve only had this issue since i just updated like 30 mins ago

[gloomy minnow]

i have one

[empty quartz]

Use it as your boot drive

Sata maxes out at 600mb/s

Nvme (depending on pcie version) can hit up to 15GB/s on pcie 5

[gloomy minnow]

i use my sata as boot and all my windows stuff on there and my nvme for my games

but i can’t do anything atm cus im still stuck on this screen

been on this screen for like 25 mins idk what to do

[molten sleet]

If you have a secondary computer, install windows to a flash drive and you can use that to repair your windows version

[gloomy minnow]

i don’t have one🥲

[warm anvil]

why do people like zsh so much?

[gloomy minnow]

its back down now

not 100% anymore after rollback

[empty quartz]

@gloomy minnow why are you using the sata as your boot drive

[gloomy minnow]

cus ive always used it as i used to have 1 ssd and 1 hdd but i bought a nvme and ive jus put my games on ther

[empty quartz]

Install windows on the nvme

[fickle valley]

Holy shit

Microsoft has been shoving onedrive up my throat for at least the last 15 minutes

There is no escaping this shit bro

[clear canyon]

then uninstall it?

[fickle valley]

three times

and it still installed itself

[ivory mountain]

do u mean down ur throat
