[clear canyon]

its an old paper

[long goblet]

so either remove the scroll, and make a more appropriate background, or go full monte and make it look like you're writing in on an old scroll.

[clear canyon]

I dont see how it looks like a scroll

[long goblet]

a designer never sees issues with their own creation.

[clear canyon]

insulting isnt helpful either

[long goblet]

if you're refusing to accept critique, then why ask the question?

[clear canyon]

the paper is the background to the menu

[clear canyon]

im not, I just disagree with what you said

[grizzled nova]

yea that’s good too

[clear canyon]

I wonder if making it a book would help

just concept ideas

[long goblet]

nope. buttons on a scroll or a book look stupid as hell

you'd do better to drop the scroll entirely.

[clear canyon]

bro, this is a website, not a game

This looks dumb

[long goblet]

that looks better than current.

[clear canyon]

10000% disagree

[long goblet]

If you want to fix it even more, then instead of shadowing the whole title box, just shadow the title text.

push username/password to the bottom, and make "login", "register", and "continue as guest" all one line.

[clear canyon]

the shadow is to show that its a button

[long goblet]

i'm talking about "LOGO GOES HERE"

[clear canyon]

This looks odd

to me the stack seems more natual

and more appealing to look at

[clear canyon]

thats just to show where the logo goes, its just a copy paste

[long goblet]

why do you implement one of my suggestions, when it was only part of a complete change?

anyways dude, i'm done. good luck on your shit.

[clear canyon]

ur just an asshole

overly rude for no reason

maybe use better wording and pull the stick out of ur ass and ppl will be nicer

[royal inlet]

@long goblet @clear canyon both of you sound INSANE

[clear canyon]

huh?

in what way?

[royal inlet]

I read both sides, slim was super rude for no reason to you

[clear canyon]

I love constructive criticism, but I wont tolerate being rude. I just asked for feedback

the only "feedback" that was given was to scrap it all

[royal inlet]

Is there a way to remove the box lines, or the shadows around boxes?

So it’s a radio button to click on

[clear canyon]

I added the shadows, there is no lines as thats the affect given by the shadows, ill remove them to show ya, one sec

[royal inlet]

Do you have one where it’s just the text on the page , no boxes?

[clear canyon]

also noticed that the font was bugged, I fixed it

[royal inlet]

I think for a background like that, maybe cursive??

Something more classical

But I like the scroll and background. I would remove the boxes around the words or change font, or both

[clear canyon]

cursive is too complicated to read as most ppl now days cant read it, Talon did suggest a font that I also like that fits the medieval theme tho

[clear canyon]

the box and font is placeholders tbh while I find a better look for them

but I agree

[royal inlet]

True, o guess I forgot people can thread cursive

[clear canyon]

cursive is also really hard to read for website standards too lol, so its just a no

I do agree that the font should fit the theme

I find the font that I shared in the screen shot above to fit that well

:D

[long goblet]

just very slightly mad

[warm sage]

how do i fix this with my taskbar when fullscreen on a video? it's not my windhawk mods, i just tested.

[clear canyon]

you can enable "Hide taskbar"

iv never had that issue so idk

[formal sonnet]

Does this happen for you on a clean, unmodified version of Windows? I've never run into this on any of my clean, unmodified, regular Windows installations using Microsoft's official Media Creation Tool.

[junior merlin]

So, question of the night

RX 9070 or RTX 4070ti?

[formal sonnet]

4070 Ti, especially if you need NVENC

[junior merlin]

Sounds good, because I have a 5070ti ordered on Amazon, but it has not gotten an update yet.

[grizzled nova]

is the 4070ti a good jellyfin transcoding card

[true moat]

Anyone here

[dusty egret]

4070ti is a little overkill to me if thats all your doing

[grizzled nova]

ok

[dusty egret]

what resolution are you encoding at

[grizzled nova]

1080p

[dusty egret]

at that resolution im pretty sure an arc a310 or 3050 would work just fine

I dont have either card I've just heard good things about them, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[grizzled nova]

ill probably get a b50

[topaz shale]

lol way overkill. i am using a 1060 3gb in my media server

handles a couple streams simultaneously just fine

i run into bandwidth problems before i run into transcoding issues since my interface is only 1gb

[fickle ivy]

I've got dust on my lens that I can't seem to get off

[sharp ivy]

could be a scratch

[fickle ivy]

Oh that photos cooked you can't see it

I first noticed it in this photo

[valid garden]

Day 1 results of using Windows XP in school until somebody notices:
Nobody has noticed

[tropic surge]

they apologized 😭

[steel umbra]

honest of him

[true moat]

Hey can someone help me get into my bios. I’ve done everything I possibly could and I’m about 2 more restarts from sending this thing through the wall. Cleared the cmos and everything but I just get a black screen.

[wheat torrent]

would something like this be hard to diy

I dont want to spend like 2000 dollars for some metal but I guess the whole idea is that it gives you precise adjustments

[clear canyon]

depnds on your skills

and what tools you have

[wheat torrent]

right right

[dusty egret]

If your dead set on metal it might be hard but looks doable with wood

[wheat torrent]

my problem is that in my country there is very very few monitor mounts/arms

and the ones that exist are either too small or don't go that high

my current setup none of my monitors are aligned properly

and I would like them to be a bit higher but I cannot do that

[clear canyon]

be aware that wood can rot and warp

[wheat torrent]

mmmm right

[clear canyon]

and be bulky and heavy

[wheat torrent]

I was thinking of aluminium extrusions

won't those be available easily

but how do you adjust them is the problem

[clear canyon]

clamp it, hand turned bolt that you tighten and loosen to raise it up and down based off an oval shaped hole

if you get what I mean

[steel umbra]

hi creeper

[wheat torrent]

hmmm

[steel umbra]

what is this

[wheat torrent]

aluminium extrusion monitor mount

[clear canyon]

the mount that connects to your monitor has all thread that sticks out and you use a and tightened bolt to be able to lock or loosen the mount that moves up and down. Another way is just making socket holes to set it into

[clear canyon]

hello :)

[steel umbra]

it looks like it may wear easily if that are movable parts

[clear canyon]

you can do that too

[wheat torrent]

you set it up once

let me show you guys my setup

so you know what im working with

[steel umbra]

where is the aww man part

you frogor 👎 📉 ❌ 🛑

[wheat torrent]

Ideally I would put the monitors on an actual stand on the floor?

so I can push them a bit back

[dusty egret]

You might check out some sim racing communities as they are used to triples in that formation

[wheat torrent]

but most stands I see online are so short since its meant to be used in a chair

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-fran-surprise-surprised-amaze-gif-8751409027068353264

[wheat torrent]

I dont know if you can just make it taller without any changes

[steel umbra]

i remember this,

[dusty egret]

sim racing is why

[clear canyon]

bc thats what those are made for lol

[wheat torrent]

the guy I bougth those monitors off had a stand but he told me it would cost me a lot

and I dont really want to spend a lot if you know what I mean

the import taxes and delivery fees would be huge

[dusty egret]

Im almost wondering if it would be cheaper to go a dual mointor stand and a single

[wheat torrent]

I mean my monitors are already on arm mounts

860 usd

[clear canyon]

ur goin for a massive stand, its gonna be expensive lol

[wheat torrent]

yep

[dusty egret]

yikes that price looking at US prices and the difference is insane

[sand terrace]

extra leg support? what is this, some kinda atheletic apparel?

[wheat torrent]

[dusty egret]

is your desk against the wall?

[wheat torrent]

no

wall arm mounts?

[dusty egret]

I was thinking that or just get some ikea shelves to put behind your desk and mount your monitors to them.

But yeah It wont be cheap regardless

[wheat torrent]

what if I make a shelf from wood

and use 3 individual arm mounts on the shelf

[dusty egret]

I see no reason that wouldn't work, just brace the shelf correctly so it can't fall over with your monitors on it. It may not look as pretty as off the shelf options but "its not stupid if it works"

[wheat torrent]

hmm

now that I think about it

the center of mass will be so off

I would need to make sure it is tight attached to the ground somehow

either using weights of some sort

total monitor weight is 24 KGs (54 lbs)

[dusty egret]

Not necessarily, just depends on how you build it, because if you build it like an L shape to fit around the desk nicely it should be ok. But woudl definitly take some thinking over

[wheat torrent]

lets see

I could somehow attach the stand to the legs of the desk if that makes sense

[dusty egret]

being cheap/broke is one heck a teacher.

[wheat torrent]

It just feels so off to pay the same amount on dumb metal

same price you would pay for the whole monitors

[dusty egret]

Oh definitely

[wheat torrent]

this is my desk shape

[dusty egret]

honestly looks like that desk is begging to be longer at one side

[wheat torrent]

wdym

[dusty egret]

just my preference I feel like that desk is tiny

[dusty egret]

which it looks like youve got at talbe/another desk next to it

[wheat torrent]

its 125x125cm

4x4 feet

[wheat torrent]

yes I bought another

[sharp lance]

I dont think my delidder was supposed to do this…

[dusty egret]

ouch

[sharp lance]

Its only an i5 3470

That i had damaged beyond repair years ago. I used a razor blade to delid it

[hidden nymph]

HOOOO YAAAAAA

[sharp lance]

And a hammer

[calm estuary]

can i ask for cpu buying advice in this chat or nah

[dusty egret]

ive done the same thing to old opterons fun

[sharp lance]

Lol

[dusty egret]

decided to delid on when I scrapped an old server as the rectangular lga cpu caught my interest especially since it was amd

[wheat torrent]

this could work

[dusty egret]

this is what I was thinking of earlier

[calm estuary]

i cant pick between a 5950x or a 5800xt, i cant find a x3d for cheap so im deciding between these 2, i use my pc for gaming and 3d work / other creative works

upgrading from a 3600

[wheat torrent]

something like this should be enough to make it balanced

[clear canyon]

dont game on a 5950x or a 5900x, they are worse than a 5600x

ik you said 3d work and creative work but fyi

[calm estuary]

still gonna be much better than my 3600

[clear canyon]

fair

[winter lantern]

its funny how a 5800x3d = 9800x3d in price

[clear canyon]

x3d goated

[harsh whale]

I'm never CPU bottlenecked on this map

[clear canyon]

?

[winter lantern]

bro forgot the image

[harsh whale]

Whoops, it didnt upload it

[clear canyon]

ur cpu is at 56% and ur gpu is at 48%, its def cpu limited

[harsh whale]

Yea, I usually get 100-120 FPS (1440p) on demanding maps (and 100% GPU util), I've never hit this low of FPS

[winter lantern]

i think my build is impossible to cpu bottleneck

[clear canyon]

lies

[harsh whale]

A 5070 shouldn't be bottlenecked by a 7500f this much

[clear canyon]

you can def cpu limit ur system lol

[winter lantern]

if i use a cpu bench sure

[bronze summit]

ready or not has helmet cam?

[harsh whale]

Guys, I think the Microslop's update messed with my computer for a bit. I was just browsing on chrome to see if the Housemaid is available to rent yet, and then all of the sudden, my computer screen went black and had to reset itself a bit. While I'm glad that my computer isn't bricked, Microslop needs to get their act together with their OS

[granite comet]

Anyone else used the mx master 3, 3s, or 4? Id buy the 4 if it had clicky switches like the 3, but I cant stand soft clicks. Anyone got an alternative recommendation? I really dont wanna give up the shape and infinity wheel >: (

[shadow condor]

will a 5 5400 bottle neck a 9070xt? oor is that not rlly a thing

[sinful cobalt]

7500f just isnt fast enough in these scenarios

I cant imagine dailying a 6 core anymore with how many apps i wanna open and use at the same time

[warm anvil]

I got like 2 cores

[clear canyon]

2 cores? in 2026

[warm anvil]

No money in 2026

[clear canyon]

you can get free quad cores now days

[warm anvil]

Then send me one😭

[clear canyon]

that costs me money lmao

[solar moat]

at least there fast cores right

[warm anvil]

Laptop CPU

[clear canyon]

bruh

[warm anvil]

[clear canyon]

duel core core and fast cant exist in the same sentence in 2026 😭

[solar moat]

intel has many NEW like last 2 years 2 core laptop

[warm anvil]

Intel i31005g1

[solar moat]

not the worse cpu

[warm anvil]

It is when u don't have a GPU😭

[solar moat]

intel has core ultra 7 with only 2 pcores

[sinful cobalt]

[glacial crypt]

But what about the cables

[left trellis]

I thought this way my pic for a second

[winter lantern]

then do that

[winter lantern]

they said they played it on xbox so xbox cloud streaming

[warm anvil]

no

i just have the game on xbox store

[winter lantern]

so did u buy it digitally

[warm anvil]

yed

[winter lantern]

then you actually can play it using cloud streaming

its supported if you own it

[warm anvil]

oh thats crazy

can i run it on 4k 200fps

[winter lantern]

i dont think that laptop supports that

[glacial crypt]

That’s not always true

[warm anvil]

what if i say please

[winter lantern]

it is for cyberpunk

[glacial crypt]

Fair but my point stands

[warm anvil]

what the hell are orphan packages on arch

[winter lantern]

there should be small symbols telling u

[tidal geyser]

Fuuuu

[sinful cobalt]

no not worth the trouble

[craggy pagoda]

wdym

[craggy pagoda]

idek what that is

[craggy pagoda]

whats that is that important for gaming

[tidal geyser]

You wanted more fps right?

[sinful cobalt]

theres not a huge diff between the 2 and dlss 4.5 is hella useful

[craggy pagoda]

useful for whhat

[sinful cobalt]

more fps

[craggy pagoda]

ye when i was wathcing the yt videos everyone was roasting the 5070 and praising the rx 9070

but i wanted to know if its actually that big of a difference in fps between the two

[tidal geyser]

Raw the 9070 should be better

But Nvidias tech has now reached a level where even I am happy to say go for it

[sinful cobalt]

god i cant figure out why this b860i 265k refuses to boot

[cold skiff]

Nvidia were brave and gave 4.5 to all. AMD weren’t brave and didn’t give redstone to all.

Gonna bite AMD in the ass removing choice

[craggy pagoda]

i dont get what 4.5 is for

[cold skiff]

Increased image quality

There comes a time when “performance” goes backwards in terms of fps, that time is now

[sinful cobalt]

its hiliarous a 2050 has better featureset support than a 7900xtx

[cold skiff]

Oh yeah

Like the 10% reduction on fps all rdna3 owners will take to go from fsr3 to redstone

AMD screwed up on that. I assume it’s because they don’t want to do the labour

[ionic peak]

[cold skiff]

That’s quality

[trim schooner]

hi what are the highest end monitors currently

[ionic peak]

The most expensive one

[trim schooner]

What do u think Abt the Alienware AW3225QF

[ionic peak]

Idk I have giga byte

[ionic peak]

32 inch?

[trim schooner]

Ye

[ionic peak]

Giand

I can barely fit my 27 one

Under the drawer

[trim schooner]

dang

[ionic peak]

But got for 50

[trim schooner]

well I do need an opinion ngl

Cuz I bought the monitor 😭

[cosmic idol]

im sure its good
but I'm also sure there's better things for the price

[ionic peak]

With a slight dent

[cosmic idol]

or same thing for cheaper 🤷‍♂️

[ionic peak]

Opinion on my dent?

[cosmic idol]

would piss me off until the end of time lol

[trim schooner]

I couldn't find really

[ionic peak]

I put my game on that side of the monitor

[trim schooner]

I found cheaper from ASUS but it's uh not curved

im a fan of curved monitors

[ionic peak]

Im flat

Fan

[trim schooner]

that's fine

[ionic peak]

But 27 inch instead of 21

[trim schooner]

still would prefer both rather than ultra wide

[ionic peak]

And 1440p and 165hz

I had before a tv from 2013

1080p 60hz

With soooo many dead pixels

[cosmic idol]

well err i'm sure its an excellent monitor then?
idk what to say, top of the line monitor lol

[trim schooner]

I'm worried cuz Alienware had bad rep

Or is it only because of pcs

[cosmic idol]

idk haven't heard of it

look - all i'll say, it sounds like you're looking for post purchase validation as opposed to advice on a product
always smart to ask around before you buy.

But it looks like an excellent model if the specs are anything to go by, and I'm sure you'll be happy.

if you got the hardware, it'll be able to make use of it for sure

[formal topaz]

Hey guys, does anyone have a nice tip on how to debloat windows ?

[solar moat]

mosty just disable what you dont need

[tidal geyser]

do not use any scripts or funky ISOs

not the most uncommon thing for people to mess up and come here

[rigid fjord]

basically alienware = dell's gaming line/models after dell took them over, not known to be that good for laptops/desktops, not sure on monitors

[cosmic idol]

Why not scripts?
ISOs makes sense tho

[rigid fjord]

many scripts force you to reinstall the OS due to fuckups via script

like if you want to play minecraft, you actively need microsoft store

[ionic peak]

Am I?

[fathom hatch]

Yeah

[cosmic idol]

🔥

[cosmic idol]

its okay i support you king

[ionic peak]

No time for that i need to play gtnh

Sweet dreams are overrated

[fathom hatch]

I need to play tf2 but I'm in college

[ionic peak]

Bring tf2 to collehe

[fathom hatch]

Steam deck controls for it are terrible sadly, and I can't get the community made ones to work

[ionic peak]

[ionic peak]

What is gay actually

Guy with a pose?

[fathom hatch]

You don't know what gay is?

[ionic peak]

No

Im to busy

[fathom hatch]

Man love man

[ionic peak]

Like youtubers?

[fathom hatch]

What

[ionic peak]

Man love man

[fathom hatch]

Yeah idk there's gay YouTubers but not all gay people are YouTubers

Hello I want your opinion on my phone delema. Shood I get the iphone 16e 128gb
Or
The Google Pixel 9e 128gb

Or for 100 bucs more
The Google Pixel 9 250gb

[fathom hatch]

I mean the iPhone 6e does only have one camera but iOS is really nice

[ionic peak]

Idk I use 100 bucks phone

[fathom hatch]

I've got the iPhone 15 pro max rn and it's lovely

[glossy patio]

Update: this same black-screen-restart loop happened again while in the middle of playing Sonic Forces… Microslop needs to send another update written by ACTUAL DEVS instead of using their crappy AI 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[ebon marlin]

I personally don't like iPhone's but get the 16e

[ionic peak]

Im a33

[ebon marlin]

You're a gay

[ionic peak]

Mm why

[ebon marlin]

Cause I said so

[ionic peak]

You now hss alloy

[fickle ivy]

Why is buying second hand so amazing??

[cosmic idol]

some people got too much money and just wanna get rid of shit lmao

[fickle ivy]

Got a $250 chair for $15 and didn't realize for multiple years

One of the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat on, definitely the most comfortable office chair, and it looks so much cleaner than any gaming chairs

[cosmic idol]

another good option is joining trading/buying/selling groups for your city or another one nearby

[fickle ivy]

I usually just use Kijiji

[pure trellis]

So,9950x3d2 confirmed or still in rumours stage?

[fickle ivy]

Got my quest 2 for $80 with minor lens damage

I got a free 65" 4k 120hs TV

Got a nice 2.1 speaker set for fres

I think 6-8 inch speakers and an 8-10 inch sub

[torpid sinew]

Also, the RAM crisis seem to never hit ECC DDR5. When AM5 launched I was looking at ECC UDIMMs, its about $200 per 16GB. Now it's still $200 for 16GB, though the supplier has changed and the speed decreased somewhat.

Was considered prohibitive when I bought my 32GB of DDR4 ECC (UDIMM) for $60 or so. Now that same amount is like $160 if you are lucky. if you just jump a bit, you can almost get it.

[cosmic idol]

a google could've answered it
technically unannounced as far as i can tell, so still a rumour

[cosmic idol]

sweeeeetttt

[fickle ivy]

I've also gotten 2 free monitors, 1 27" 1440p and 1 27" 1080p

[fickle ivy]

Someone literally just left it by the recycling, it was outside for a couple days and got some snow on it but the only issue I've had is that 1 of the HDMI ports causes it to turn off for some reason

[ionic peak]

Yes

[fickle ivy]

The 1440p one was actually I think like a studio monitor or something because it's pretty old and expensive

[solar moat]

i not realy used any

[ionic peak]

i use it later in gtnh

[solar moat]

i mosty just allways used carbide unless using basic hand drill

[fickle ivy]

Question for people, am I insane for using every single display I interact with in a daily basis at 100% brightness 95% of the time?

[ancient zinc]

I payed for my main monitor (1080p 165hz) was 160 aud on amazon

[ancient zinc]

Normal but 100% brightness on ur phone at 9pm would suck

[fickle ivy]

It's currently 5:20 AM and I'm looking at this

27" doing I think ~500 nits

[ancient zinc]

I have my monitor at 100 percent all the time tho tbf

Wish I had oled tho man they look cool

[fickle ivy]

I wish I had OLED too

I've got an OLED phone screen tho

[ebon marlin]

I've got an OLED monitor it's pretty neat

Planning on buying another one soon

[gritty panther]

they're getting very cheap lately

[fickle ivy]

Still too expensive

[gritty panther]

they used to be a lot worse

happy to report things like burn-in isn't as prevalent anymore

7200 hours on my OLED monitor with heavy usage. no signs of burn in

3rd gen LG WOLED

or might be second gen. not sure about that didnt care enough to confirm

[fathom hatch]

I prefer mild carbon steel

[ionic peak]

or stainless steel?

[fathom hatch]

My favourite is 4140 steel, used for rollercoaster wheels

[bold olive]

is it just me or lact doesnt allow 0% spin

[ionic peak]

whats actually the most expensive alloy / metal to be used onto useless stuff?

[bold olive]

ffs its just counter strike

[ebon marlin]

Eh not really when you can pick up a really good OLED monitor for sub 400

1440p 240hz

[tidal geyser]

I don't about sub 400 but around 400 yea

[ebon marlin]

I could get a good OLED for around 350€ brand new from the store

Paid like 70€ more to have a KVM Switch in ze monitor

[fickle ivy]

The most expensive purchase I've ever made was $250

And even that was alot

So don't go saying like $400 is cheap

[ebon marlin]

Chump change for a fella like me

[fickle ivy]

As I said, still too expensive

[fickle ivy]

Then slide it over fr

Fr fr

[fathom hatch]

idk

[ebon marlin]

How is 250 even ur biggest purchase

That's so little

[fickle ivy]

Camera

[ionic peak]

im gng get some circuits

[fickle ivy]

I bought a decently nice camera, and in my nature, got a good deal on it

[fathom hatch]

what camera

[fickle ivy]

From what I can find usually sells for $400-$500 used

[ionic peak]

giornomus

[fickle ivy]

Nikon D3400

[fathom hatch]

nice ive got a sony a7 mark 3

[fickle ivy]

Fancy mirrorless

This is my first DSLR

[fathom hatch]

yeah

ive never owned a dslr but i do have an slr

[fickle ivy]

It takes good photos

[fathom hatch]

planning on upgrading to the a7R IV one day

[fickle ivy]

I really like this one too

[fathom hatch]

photo i took using a tamron 28-75 f2.8 lens

[fickle ivy]

I wanna do a shot like that

I just need to find the right time of day

[fathom hatch]

i did that at around 7pm

[fickle ivy]

I've been thinking of it for about a week now

I've got a 18-55mm lens

Looking at getting a 55-200mm

[fathom hatch]

its mainly the lens that matters, dont cheap out on one id say

[ionic peak]

i would never could that with my needle thicc apenture

or the hole for the lense

[fathom hatch]

i think i used f/8 for that

[fickle ivy]

This is what I'm looking at

[ionic peak]

my phone worth

[fathom hatch]

look on mpb

good place to buy stuff used

[ionic peak]

or less

[fathom hatch]

i used to have an a15, thankfully not anymore

[fickle ivy]

Free shipping to canada?

[fathom hatch]

idk about free i live in the uk and i pay for shipping

[fickle ivy]

I used an S9 for the majority of last year, surprisingly usable

[ionic peak]

ye idk why the sell ts

top A series are fine mid ( what i have are ok ) and the 1 or 0 are e waste

[fickle ivy]

Similar prices for a similar lens

And I know Henry's is based in Canada and has free shipping

[fathom hatch]

just going to say, cheaper telephoto lenses wont have very good image quality, especially at the long end

[fickle ivy]

Hold up, this is cheap asf for a 300mm wtf??

[fathom hatch]

NOOO

actually that is better than the 75-300, but still, terrible lens

[fickle ivy]

Mainly softness right?

[fathom hatch]

very very soft

lots of chromatic abberation

have a look at this

[ionic peak]

sigma

[fickle ivy]

I can't afford fhat

My max is $150 CAD

[fathom hatch]

rip

id save up then tbh

i really want the sigma 85mm f1.4

[fickle ivy]

My main reason for a higher magnification lens

I have to crop some photos even at the full 55mm of my lenz

[fathom hatch]

yeah i would still save up for a better lens if i were you

[cold skiff]

You one of those strange fellars that stand at airports and photo planes?

[fickle ivy]

Uhhh

[ionic peak]

big birds in metal

[fickle ivy]

Okay, $38, this can't be good for that price

[fathom hatch]

tbh i cant say much im a strange fella who goes to theme parks and takes photos of rollercoasters

got my photo used by a park on twitter one time

[scarlet marlin]

helloo

I've got a question

[fathom hatch]

hi

go ahead

[fickle ivy]

I've uploaded one of mine to like the biggest most strict plane photo website ever and am hoping it gets accepted

But I fear it will get rejected for softness

[hardy lichen]

Daily motivation: Your maximum is someone else's minimum ah lesson

[fathom hatch]

yeah ive heard about jet photos, very stupid rules

[fickle ivy]

It's only gone up about 5000 in line

[scarlet marlin]

I've been a long time mobile / ps user and I got a secondhand PC from Facebook. but the previous owner said it requires troubleshooting to run, like I need to turn it on / off multiple times to get display

these are the specs

all drivers are updated and bios as well

[ionic peak]

he meant 12700k?

[scarlet marlin]

12700k yeah sorry

[fathom hatch]

id get a different cpu cooler tbh

[tidal geyser]

psu dying

[scarlet marlin]

the cpu cooler is quite loud on full usage yea

[ionic peak]

nah its fire

[tidal geyser]

or motherboard maybe, i dono i would like to see the issue

[jaunty apex]

CPU could also be dying

[ionic peak]

Fire

[fathom hatch]

yeah, not in the good way though

[ionic peak]

ye its fire after a sec

[scarlet marlin]

everything else works fine even during heavy use
it's just during when it's powered down it needs to restart multiple times

[tidal geyser]

im gonna say probs something about the psu, if not motherboard then if not uhh yea good luck

[scarlet marlin]

what should I replace it with?

[fathom hatch]

i feel like the gpu is going to get really hot

[frigid blade]

Check out the psu tier list and find something B tier that’s cheap

[tidal geyser]

a not that psu

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/htmlview?pli=1

[ionic peak]

fire

[scarlet marlin]

65C-75C on 100% usage (at least on cyberpunk)

[frigid blade]

Maybe even C tier if it’s low power budget

[scarlet marlin]

ooo thanks

[frigid blade]

Click “Main List” to see the list btw

[scarlet marlin]

okay I think I get the gist of it

I'm thinking of getting gold rated with 750w+

is there anything else that I should do?

[tidal geyser]

wait what is the chance its just a really cheap case with a bad power button

[fathom hatch]

yeah that could be a possibility, it looks like the previous owner chose a good cpu and gpu then cheaped out on most of the other stuff

[true adder]

I wish fiber was actually fast here

cable internet is still faster here

[solid quail]

Six more days and I'm ordering the case!

[tidal geyser]

wat and wat

fiber is cabled, also where tf are you that you have access to fiber but its somehow slower than DSL

[true adder]

fiber plans go up to 1gbit

cable is 1,1gbit

[tidal geyser]

wow

[true adder]

yeah thats crazy right

[tidal geyser]

wait is the router 2.5?

[true adder]

yes i got my whole network 2.5gbit

local

[tidal geyser]

where tf are you

[hallow jasper]

meanwhile the cable is not symmetrical and far more susepticable to slowdowns. screw docsis

[tidal geyser]

btw now check the jitter and ping

[true adder]

10ms ping

[boreal tiger]

need assistance how to remove activate windows watermark from windows 10?

[tidal geyser]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/808903373448282142

[true adder]

Maybe i should switch to fiber idk. im happy with the default router its fast

[solid quail]

My apartment doesn't even have fiber lol. The landlord didn't bother having that installed when this apartment was renovated three years ago

[true adder]

i dont think other ISP would give me any better router

good reason to buy ubiquiti though

[true adder]

damn that sucks

[true adder]

fill in a product key

[tidal geyser]

i got fiber in my apartment but land lord owned

[boreal tiger]

dont have one cant afford one

[fallow yacht]

1.1 gigabit that you have to share bandwith to with otjer people

atleast fibre has only 1 dedicated line

[boreal tiger]

does this comes under piracy?

[solid quail]

Eh, I'm perfectly fine with mobile data, the 4G and 5G networks are pretty stable here. I don't need faster than 100mbit for my use either

[true adder]

you want one

[solid quail]

Or a broadband 4G rouuter/modem thingy I mean

[hallow jasper]

stop crossposting, we're not helping you pirate a license. I gave you a pretty massive hint in tc2

[solid quail]

But the apartment is otherwise in a good condition, well priced and on a good spot

So I'm fine with no fiber

[true adder]

If you dont access other devices from your network then its fine yeah

[boreal tiger]

mb i read it now

[ebon marlin]

nvidia moment

[true adder]

if you want a license just say so i got a few

[solid quail]

The router has an internal speed (traffic inside my own network) of 1gbit/sec

[boreal tiger]

i need a legitimate licence

[true adder]

i work at microsoft

[ebon marlin]

pal is unemployed

[solid quail]

But it's only a 4G LTE cat9 so 450mbit max internet speed

[ebon marlin]

Microsoft only hires indians

[true adder]

nope

[fallow yacht]

guys apparently lte is not true 4g but lte+ is

[ebon marlin]

uhhuh

[tidal geyser]

are you guys also having major issues internally with windows

[true adder]

[thin bloom]

Hi chat

[true adder]

[ebon marlin]

it's just windows keys scraped from old laptops/dekstops

[true adder]

no its offically from microsoft

[ebon marlin]

yeah

every windows key is officially from microsoft

[tidal geyser]

windows 10 keys were stopped a while back

[thin bloom]

Gn chat

[jaunty apex]

Get money or use linux

[tidal geyser]

yes i know can sitll use it

[ebon marlin]

[true adder]

im on corp VM

[solid quail]

450€ (540usd)/month for a 39m2 (420 sq ft) apartment with a sauna, my own ~6m2 (~64sq ft) outside storage building, heatpump, own backyard, closest convenience store 500m away and a large grocery store less than 2km away.

So yeah, I'm pretty fine with no fiber

[ebon marlin]

wtf where

[solid quail]

Finland

[ebon marlin]

i know but what part

[solid quail]

Lapland

[ebon marlin]

Nvm bruh

[solid quail]

Not that far up north. Less than 200km from oulu

Two small cities less than 30km away

[true adder]

im leaving microsoft next month 💔 rip all my benefits

[tidal geyser]

replaced by AI or what

[ebon marlin]

indians

[true adder]

no lol im gonna continue to study

[undone orchid]

9060xt vs 7800xt which would yall rather get ?. The 9060xt would be new and the 7800xt would be used

[tidal geyser]

5070

[true adder]

it was kind of similar to an internship but full pay so it was great

[jovial swan]

Picked up this thing for free by a buddy of mine, its value in 2026 aint much i know, but i might try and fix it a lil.

[tidal geyser]

semi e-waste

also how tf did they do 6GB of ram

[jovial swan]

I think when i looked yesterday its a 2+4 config

[true adder]

It's not too bad. can be used as a pc to browse and watch some youtube

[hallow jasper]

can do the same with a cheapo tablet

[true adder]

hmmmm

[jovial swan]

I had in mind fixing it up, upping its ram to 8 or 12 Gigs and maybe putting a low power Intel arc in it.
As a gift to my stepdad.

[tidal geyser]

if its a full stick you might be able to sell it to a collector

[jovial swan]

But its one of those LITEON PSUs

[tidal geyser]

it cant do arc well not really

no rebar

[jovial swan]

Whats rebar?

[true adder]

That's fine, but i wouldn't spend too much on it. Also no offical support for win 11 so its not future proof in any way

[jovial swan]

I thought Intel 7th gen was the oldest gen Intel to support it?

[ebon marlin]

nah 8th

[solid quail]

Probably 2GB+4GB. 2GB DDR4 dimms existed but were pretty rare

[true adder]

I wish that was the case, because i had an i7 7700 not even a year ago

[tidal geyser]

aka collector

[true adder]

had to upgrade it

[tidal geyser]

fyi even 8th and 9th gen support is limited to just being lucky about what motherboard you have

[solid quail]

Bypassing the requirements at least worked for me. I bust needed a tpm module so some games with anticheat would work

[true adder]

sucks with updates in my experience

[jovial swan]

Hold on? That aint a 1050 is it,m

[solid quail]

When I only bypassed the cpu requirement and had the tpm module installed, I got updates normally

[solid quail]

Looks like a 1050

[tidal geyser]

it is

[jovial swan]

Oh shit it is, i didnt know they used actual brands and not just OEM

[solid quail]

Zotac 1050 mini

[true adder]

mini card in full size PC 💔

[solid quail]

The acer nitro 1060 was a model made by msi

Albeit a oem blower, but manufactured by msi

[tidal geyser]

eeehhh i dono about full size pc

[solid quail]

Check the ram dimms. Is one of them 2gb dimm

[jovial swan]

Indeed it was 2+4

[frigid blade]

2+4 wild

[solid quail]

Also finally had time to test this fucker. Works as intended

[jovial swan]

Think imma gut it and sell it for spare parts

[solid quail]

Those 2gb dimms are pretty much unobtainium

[fickle ivy]

Should I trust the $38 lens?

[true adder]

not the full black mb but green m2 😭

[solid quail]

Also paired with 1080 to test league of legends and fortnite (the only games I'm intending to run on this). League ran at 240fps stable (had fps cap) ans fortnite was a stable 90 or so

[solid quail]

The first m.2 I grabbed from my shelf

[solid quail]

I was intending on using a 500gb wd black nvme, but it was still in the z370 i picked up for free and the previous owner had fucked up the screw head. It was completely chipped

[scarlet marlin]

I tried hot wiring the power button and it's still the same so probably not

[tidal geyser]

i have not seen this fault before so i am unsure what the issue could be

[solid quail]

And also I remembered wrong. All of my spare ddr4 kits were cl16. No 3200cl14 sadly

[scarlet marlin]

I guess I'll replace the psu first because the search result of the psu yields like 12 results

and it's a 10$ psu

actually a 9$ psu

[mellow sonnet]

how concerning is this (15:55 was 2 minutes ago)

[tidal geyser]

ever seen a scam baiting video?

[mellow sonnet]

this could be more informative

[tidal geyser]

yeeeaa get a nice 80$ one, should last until your next like 3 computers

[mellow sonnet]

what does that have to do with those

[tidal geyser]

litteraly says there are no issues

[rigid fjord]

he makes more because american, compared to aussie dollar when converting, having said that he doesn't build his own bike/scooter though

[tidal geyser]

they litteraly use event viewer and those logs thay say there are issues to claim you have hackers on your computer or whatever.

its bullshit, event viewer aint great

[cosmic idol]

Hahaha true true 🔥 ❤️

[mellow sonnet]

thats a funny way to make old people concerned

37k events in last 7 days

[rigid fjord]

any psu below $50 is not worth touching

[robust schooner]

do yall think i could recover an hdd that clicks two times and then just doesnt click anymore

[tidal geyser]

it should make zero clicks

[rigid fjord]

yes but requires some skills and a good hdd for sacrificial parts

[tidal geyser]

also no YOU cant do anything

[robust schooner]

rip

[tidal geyser]

i would not even attempt it without a clean hood

[robust schooner]

windows doesnt detect it neither lol

[tidal geyser]

well yea

[robust schooner]

weird enough is it just clicks two times and then it stops

[rigid fjord]

this and a sacrificial hdd for parts, specifically one that's matching to it

[tidal geyser]

yup das called a dying HDD

[robust schooner]

rip

im so confused tho but after that it sounds like its reading fine

[rigid fjord]

well you have a header reading issue, and controller issue, as it's basically a dead dhdd

[robust schooner]

hmmm

[rigid fjord]

the clicking tends to be from the reading head, and the lack of detection is the controller board

[robust schooner]

yea

so there is like no way just to force it

[rigid fjord]

which requires minimally a replacement of the controller board itself, and secondly a replacment reading head

hence a good working hdd being used for donor partts

[robust schooner]

dang, so no way to force it software wise

rip i guess

but its so weird

isnt it supposed to click multiple times

in a loop

[jovial swan]

How much can i ask for this stuff.

[high halo]

Ive been hearing that opening is about to go bankrupt or atleast running out of money, does this mean there is a chance for ram to finally be affordable again?

[solid quail]

1050 - 20€
I5 7400 - 20€
M.2 sata ssd 256gb - 15 at most

[craggy cove]

my shit backwards ✌️

[tidal geyser]

this ram stick to the right person, JESUS

[solid quail]

Judging by the prices I've generally seen

[solid quail]

4gb dual channel ryzen 7 5800x3d 5090 setup when?

[hallow jasper]

You should do some better research.

assuming "opening" = "OpenAI"

[tidal geyser]

aaaa open ai

[fallow yacht]

ram alone can get you an entire gaming pc

[high halo]

Yeah I hate autocorrect sometimes

[hallow jasper]

that RAM cannot

[high halo]

Yeah

[jovial swan]

Its DDR4 and DDR3

[high halo]

But I heard they are losing money rapidly and not turning in a profit

[tidal geyser]

also openai uses HBM

[solid quail]

I mean, in all fairness the 2gb dimm of ddr4 is at least very rare. Maybe not valuable, but rare nonetheless

[high halo]

Whats that?

[tidal geyser]

discord is doing the same thing

[tidal geyser]

ram

[hallow jasper]

instead of us guessing what some of those things are and then seeing what they're selling for on Ebay to get a general idea, you can do that too

[tidal geyser]

you cant use in your pc

[fickle ivy]

I love when my monitor decides eyes are unnecessary

[high halo]

But ai companies buy the ram straight from dram manufacturers

[tidal geyser]

uh no

[high halo]

Like micron and skhynik

[tidal geyser]

nvidia buys the HBM and puts it on their gpu packages

[fallow yacht]

this ain't cs2 man

[tidal geyser]

open ai buys the servers

[hallow jasper]

I simply do not understand how "OpenAI is about to go bankrupt" is a concept thats even being brought up. According to who? Sources?

[tidal geyser]

trust me bro

[hallow jasper]

Your RAM isn't going to be affordable next week.

[tidal geyser]

shits gonna collapse but it aint gonna be this year most likely

[fickle ivy]

Wdym

[hallow jasper]

Yeah, whats going on is far larger than OpenAI alone

[high halo]

Its about to go bankrupt but not this year is that i meant

[tidal geyser]

aint like 30-40% of the entire US market right now AI

[high halo]

Maybe 2027 ish or 2028

[high halo]

So 40% of the us economy is relying on Ai?

[tidal geyser]

you do not talk about a company maybe failing years before it does

[tidal geyser]

never said that

its a question i did not put a ? on

ffs i might have to become way more clear

[high halo]

Im not into economics man

Nor american

[tidal geyser]

its words

[hallow jasper]

I'm still so confused why this is even a discussion point. No one is failing right now and years from now is irrelevant today.

[tidal geyser]

o well i just sold my node 202

im cold

[sand terrace]

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

look at that compactness

years from now is always relevant today, unless you are a private equity exec with no morals or ethics or sense of responsibility.

[tidal geyser]

5

[sand terrace]

missing? or just not designed with them in the first place?

[sullen dune]

Didn't have them in the first place

[rigid fjord]

no, it's not suppose to click at all

[sullen dune]

Its just some mosquito net that you can put on Your windows btw

[sand terrace]

neat scissors

[robust schooner]

ahh

[sullen dune]

This how it looks from the outside

[sullen dune]

Thanks

[tidal geyser]

wat

[tidal geyser]

you cant even put fans on there

[sullen dune]

Its the side panel

[tidal geyser]

uh

[sand terrace]

looks like dell or lenovo based on the paint

[tidal geyser]

yes it is a side panel, but no air is getting pushed trough it anyways

tbh maybe it could improve performance by allowing more air in a more flowing way trough the case maybe i dono

[rigid fjord]

never any way to do it software wise

[sullen dune]

Its dual chaber

[rigid fjord]

to make the side panel effective enough you'd want to add fans to it, otherwise i't kinda passive for airflow

[sullen dune]

Chamber*

[tidal geyser]

AAAHHHH

wait wtf it does not have a dust filter for those things

[sullen dune]

Nope

[tidal geyser]

what the hell kinda case is that

[sullen dune]

But on the top and bottom it does have em

[sullen dune]

Cheap Amazon dual chamber case i bought bc i didnt know about montech yet back then

[tidal geyser]

yea it looks like a ultra cheap copy

[rigid fjord]

not standard for side panels tbh dude, and case looks like it's from antec

[sullen dune]

Its by FOIFKIN, it just a generic case that gets like rebranded by multiple different companies.

[tidal geyser]

but yea no any amount of mesh is gonna be really nice

[rigid fjord]

your 'filter' fix will work but you can get magnetic ones to do the same as a replacement, 360/420 + 140mm ones exist

[sand terrace]

rav4 heist tho

[rigid fjord]

nah, there's some that's rebranded, but many that are knock off's from other well known brands

[sand terrace]

cool solution.

[severe gazelle]

Cooler Master is so annoying with their documentation

[sand terrace]

anyways, off to minecraft

[sullen dune]

This was kinda for free tho bc i found this box of mosquito net in a random drawer and thought "why dont i use this as a dust filter"

[sullen dune]

This one is just a generic rebrand since i have seen this Exact same case sold by like multiple other company names and its supposed to by kind of like a lianli o11

[tidal geyser]

i did not know cases still came with PSUs

[sullen dune]

Wdym

[hallow jasper]

Context is important. Telling this lost user that in 2 years his RAM is going to be cheaper is pointless.

[sullen dune]

This case didnt come with a psu, bought it myself like with every other case.(Its the Gigabyte UDM850 or something dont remember entirely)

[severe gazelle]

Yeah me neither but i was able to get TD500 Max for $100 which is insane deal for Case, Cooler and PSU pre-installed

and they arent cheap ones either. Really like it all but documentation SUCKS

[sullen dune]

Ohhhh let me guess that message wasnt directed at me? Im slow

[cold skiff]

Is it going to be cheaper in 2 years though?

[severe gazelle]

help me plis https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1465731356314308609

[cold skiff]

Seen as you cross posted within 10mins… no

[tidal geyser]

ask coolermaster

like actually ask coolermaster support they should be way better at it

[tidal geyser]

how do you know

[severe gazelle]

I did, they just keep sending me the link to the pinout without clarifying which one.

[tidal geyser]

why do you even need new cables

[severe gazelle]

The PSU only provides 1 Pcie cable. Need 1 more for my GPU

[tidal geyser]

it came with 2

they count the pigtails as connectors aka half that for the actual amount of 2

[severe gazelle]

No even the website states it comes with 1 and 1 more can be reuqested for free from CM but they are out of stock since nov

[tidal geyser]

wait wtf

[rigid fjord]

getting rarer for them to do so, any that did are either oem cases or using psu's that are group regulated

[rigid fjord]

no but it may end up being price normalized

[severe gazelle]

low-key considering buying a Mac Mini in 2026 for general usage + creative stuff and single booting Linux on my PC for gaming and programming, entirely wiping away the disease that is Windows 11.

good decision?

[plain cypress]

I mean the Mac mini is a great little computer, cannot fault against that

[void eagle]

I'll probably buy one later then

Windows 11 is truly fucking awful and I need either it or MacOS for certain apps

[plain cypress]

Deleting windows is a personal choice. I've seen a lot of people who have tried and just end up crawling back because apparently software compatibility is worth some amount of OS headache

[void eagle]

That's why I'll buy a Mac for those things I need software for

[plain cypress]

I suppose

[void eagle]

And setup a physical KVM switch

Windows is literally indisguistable from a disease at this point

It's not like the stuff I need it for is gaming related so I'm not stuck w it

[tidal geyser]

been on linux for a while now
