giant ass case

[odd marsh]

an angel lost it's wings today

[ebon marlin]

Might get this phone

I already own the Pro version of this phone but it has a chinese rom on it

[gaunt spade]

dimensity chip

[ebon marlin]

Honestly I'd much rather take a Dimensity than a Snapdragon

[gaunt spade]

why

[ebon marlin]

I'm using Oneplus 13R which uses Snapdragon

[ebon marlin]

If you compare the 2 you'll notice the phones with dimensity chips significantly outlast Snapdragon phones

I just want a phone with a battery that lasts for a good while

I don't game or do photography at most I just take pictures of my cat

[ocean axle]

battery life last, or total lifespan of the device?

[ebon marlin]

SoT

[ocean axle]

most of that draw is probably the screen itself

[ebon marlin]

Realme Gt 7 there on top 6 of best batteries

[gaunt spade]

wheres the phones with 10k mah batteries

[empty quartz]

Its crazy how many memory channels my laptop has

[ebon marlin]

I'd love to get one but they're china exclusive

That's also why GSM hasn't reviewed them

[frail sequoia]

Brother nicked my racing sim for a bit 😭

Got vr and wheel on Linux tho

[empty quartz]

Why your brother looking like he’s 12 and vapes

[gaunt spade]

they reviewed gt8pro 5g china

[plush wren]

What a setup

[empty quartz]

I cant wait until people realize that 60% keyboard suck ass

[ebon marlin]

Yeah because it's also getting a global release soon

[plain cypress]

Of a different era
I absolutely despise this case, but it's the case we have

[gaunt spade]

bruh so this is stayng china only?

[ebon marlin]

EU has silly restrictions on batteries unfortunately

[empty quartz]

Probably gets shit battery

[ebon marlin]

Vas

[gaunt spade]

why

[gaunt spade]

whats the restrictions?

[empty quartz]

Most cheap android phones have big batteries to compensate for shit optimization

[gaunt spade]

im very tempted to import one of those 9k+ mah batteries

[ebon marlin]

It's a 10k mah battery in no way it's a shit battery

[gaunt spade]

🤨

[ebon marlin]

China roms aren't great to deal with

[gaunt spade]

can i flash english

[golden palm]

Guys is it ok to pair a 3060ti with a r5 3600 for 1080p?

[ebon marlin]

I have a Realme Gt 7 Pro with a chinese rom

[ebon marlin]

Is grass green

[empty quartz]

No, its red

[gaunt spade]

idk chief

[ebon marlin]

Depends if they've locked the bootloader I know Realme sells their devices with unlocked bootloaders

[golden palm]

Aight thanks
I just wanted to check

[gaunt spade]

i think realme or one brand has 10080 mah

thats the biggest one for now i think

wich isnt rugged

[ebon marlin]

I could flash my chinese rom Gt 7 Pro a global rom but I'm worried it fucking over my bank apps and such

Since bank apps and others don't allow you to access them with rooted or flashed devices

[random junco]

holy shit lmao

[ebon marlin]

Legion Go goated

Can jork it in bed while playing games

Lenovo always knows how to design great products

Bismillah

[formal sonnet]

How's the battery life on the Legion Go for you? Every time there's a Steam Deck sale I play the "oh I could buy it, but also... ASUS / MSI / Lenovo make options too..." then never end up buying anything. 🤣

[frigid blade]

to legos?

[ebon marlin]

Luckily for me I snagged this battery modded Legion Go for cheap

The battery life is very good on this with the 80wh battery mod

Granted the previous user did use this quite a bit so the battery is moreso at 75wh now

Got the battery modded Legion Go with a 1tb upgraded ssd for 380€

[ripe totem]

someone's selling a 4080 laptop for 800$ 🤑

[tidal geyser]

cpus probs gonna die

[ebon marlin]

Insanely good price when compared to others are selling the stock 50wh 512gb legion go for 500€

[tidal geyser]

i now have 2 laptops with dead CPUs

[ripe totem]

Idk its Facebook mkt place and they live right next to me

[ebon marlin]

Although my only complaint with the Legion Go is linux support being not so great

If I have it in handheld mode and decide to detach the controllers the game will think there's no controller connected

And vice versa other way around

Also a great device on its own as without the controllers it's basically a mini tablet with it's 8.8" screen

I wanna start reading manga and this is a solid device for it

Planning on reading this manga sometimes soon with it

[formal sonnet]

Yee that's what I've heard about most of the Windows based portable gaming machines that aren't the Steam Deck... My biggest problem is how well they idle when just browsing the web. I really want an ARM powered Windows device for the ~20 hour battery life, but the software compatibility just isn't there yet.

[stray portal]

hi yall so im thinking of using alpine linux because the gnu man did some stuff i dont like so i dont want to use gnu

is this a good idea or bad

[ebon marlin]

Yea the linux support is night and day difference between the 2

[formal sonnet]

Only you can determine if using X Operating System is a "good" idea or not. At the end of the day, an OS either let's you Get the Shit Done™ you need to do, or it gets in your way.

[ebon marlin]

But so far I've owned the Rog Ally, Steam Deck and Legion Go aka the big 3 of gaming handhelds

Legion Go is easily my most favorite of them all

Steam Deck coming 2nd for how simple and convenient it is

Then the rog ally which I personally despise lmao

[tidal geyser]

always sad to see a laptop go

[stray portal]

hmm

[ebon marlin]

What happened

[stray portal]

i heard he was defending epstein man

[ebon marlin]

Lmao

[long cradle]

Man, I'd love this PC!!

[ebon marlin]

Ay caramba i got work in 8 hours

Goodnight gays

[formal sonnet]

I cannot find evidence of this on the Google Search. Even so, if we boycott everything that has ever done <immoral thing> we technically can't live in society so... pick your battles, I guess.

[stray portal]

yeah ig

its important to separate the product from the owner

but then again people trash on brave because the owner is allegedly bad

[tidal geyser]

gnu man

[tidal geyser]

not allegedly bad

he has publicly donated to anti LGBTQ+ things from what i know

also brave as a company is horrible too

https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1j1pq7b/list_of_brave_browser_controversies/

[stray portal]

yeah brave has crypto stuff

ive turned full circle, i went from using firefox for the longest time ever, to floorp, to brave, and now to chrome

[marble cloud]

F in chat. Just had a client come in for a pc that wouldn't turn on. Tested and found out his motherboard fried itself shorting both his 7700X and 32gb of corsair ddr5.

[tidal geyser]

full 12v into the ram?

a lot of modern motherboards are good enough to protect against damage if it shuts down

ofc if its sending straight 12v and not shutting down your fucked

[marble cloud]

no life period

in a working system

[formal sonnet]

110% this. Otherwise, we'd have to shutdown the entire internet, since, you know... most of it is literally built on GNU licensed software...

[marble cloud]

no clue how he managed to kill literally everything in one go but it was all toast

[tidal geyser]

throw the psu out the window

the motherboard should have protections same with the psu

[marble cloud]

evga 850w worked perfectly too when i tested it so like

2023 manufactor date

its super weird

hes going to bring it back with new parts and ill properly deep dive everything else

[tidal geyser]

yes it worked but short circuit protection is fucked

up to what really happened

[marble cloud]

to be fair i think it was the dudes fault

he tried to spray paint the gpu

i saw spray paint

im assuming he caused it somwhere else due to that but i couldnt get a lot from him

[stray portal]

hmm

[tidal geyser]

also with linus torvalds thing it looks like it was someone he was in a group with that was the problem person

could not find annything too clear

[rose sorrel]

Anyone Tell what this Means ?

[tidal geyser]

no internet access on the network

[rose sorrel]

How does that happen ?

[frigid blade]

Did you run out of mobile data?

Looks like you’re connecting to a hotspot

[tidal geyser]

doggo

[balmy tapir]

id guess your access point is still sending a single but somewhere before it like modem/router, its lost actually connection

[formal sonnet]

It means your device can connect to the WiFi being broadcast from the Access Point / Router / Modem and talk to the LOCAL network, but it cannot reach the internet as a whole. This could be caused by security software or a VPN running on the device, a problem with the Access Point / Router / Modem, or a problem with however the internet is delivered to the Access Point / Router / Modem. Do other device connecting to the exact same WiFi network have internet access? Does this device get internet if you connect it to another WiFi network?

[bronze summit]

Hey Kirashi

[craggy cove]

someone snitched

[rose sorrel]

Yeah

[rose sorrel]

I had to Kernal reset it with usb and using Buttons to reset it

[frigid blade]

This is listed for $500

That seems like a good price, am I missing something?

[rose sorrel]

It’s still thinks it my WiFi

[tidal geyser]

you will lose a kidney

[olive axle]

Chat would it be fair to trade a corsair 32gb ddr5 kit for a Radeon 7600xt

[frigid blade]

I thought it was scammy but the profile itself doesn’t look like the rest of the scams

[tidal geyser]

that ddr5 kit is worth more xd

[frigid blade]

Usually they don’t do shipping through Facebook either

They ask for Zelle or something

I might just take the risk, charge back if scam

[olive axle]

Damn, I thought it was a great deal :[

Tbh i bought the kit for like 10 bucks

Before the ram surge shit :P

[tidal geyser]

10$?

[left dove]

in de beninging

[olive axle]

Yeah, used at a flea market

[keen folio]

RMA that shit and include the CPU and Ram with that. i guess no PSU Fault?

[olive axle]

Tho idk if it works, I dont have a ddr5 mobo to test it on lmao

[tidal geyser]

motherboard fault but psu should have cought it

[ivory mountain]

omg jjba

[formal sonnet]

That's because there's no guarantees you'll ever receive your item, or that it will be in working condition. If you're okay with this risk, sure, I guess that's fine, but my recommendation is to always verify used items are in working condition with your own eyes / hands before forking over your money.

[frigid blade]

doesn’t fbmp hold the funds until the actual item is delivered?

[tidal geyser]

i do not fbmp has anything like that

[frigid blade]

Google says it disperses funds to seller 5 days after delivery

https://m.facebook.com/help/620680138523186/?helpref=uf_share

[jaunty apex]

lol idiot

[frigid blade]

It’s on their website too

I’ll take the risk tbh

``Your payout will be initiated 15 days after you mark the item as shipped, or 5 days after the item is delivered upon receiving delivery confirmation.`’

[gentle kestrel]

bro at $500 that is the shining example of too good to be true

[tidal geyser]

you cannot believe the deals i have gotten

[frigid blade]

I’ve had occasions where too good to be true was true

for example my ram

but that was an eBay auction so a bit different

[gentle kestrel]

1 component is not the same as a current high end desktop

[jaunty apex]

That bundle on micro center with the cpu, board and RAM is what, $400?

[tidal geyser]

i have gotten desktops with decet specs for great prices

[frigid blade]

I got the laptop for $160, i7-1185G7 16GB

$40 cheaper than what I found it for earlier

And better condition with the ac adapter

I remember when searching for my current desktop, I bought 4 or 5 PCs that listed a 4090 and had completely different cards

Eventually stumbled upon a good deal

[wheat torrent]

let me know

[plain cypress]

really hope I can arbirarily connect drives to sata ports in unraid

[tidal geyser]

i just got this a day ago for 250

the motherboard alone is half that or more

[wispy thunder]

I think it's just cause it's a replacement panel with branding and that can cause big issues with IP infringement

[unique aspen]

for the people that wanna know my specs

[formal sonnet]

No idea. In Canada, Facebook Marketplace acting as an Escrow Provider is straight up not a thing. The buyer and seller are responsible for meeting up and exchanging funds.

[frigid blade]

That’s crazy

So no buyer protection?

[formal sonnet]

Not really? Banking is regulated differently here.

[frigid blade]

I never purchase without buyer protection, IE eBay

[formal sonnet]

Same, and the best buyer protection is verifying the used thing I'm buying actually does what it's advertised to do. 🤷 Even if Facebook offered an escrow method, I wouldn't want to spend my time dealing with making claims (or being the recipient of a falsified claim as the seller) as my time is worth way more than most items I buy / sell...

[frigid blade]

Well different state

Ah well I have a ton of time

At a minimum I always make purchases on my credit card

My final line of defense is a charge back

That’s how I snagged my pc, a ton of purchases until one was real

Definitely was a few months

Hopefully all the drives show up in the correct order

[sharp ivy]

you've got a 775 cpu with ddr3 support? nice

[glossy veldt]

6 satas?

i never thought I'd see someone fill their pc with hdds

[unique aspen]

what serious?

i must charge tho

[plain cypress]

Unraid server, so, this is expected configuration

[empty quartz]

I regret nothing :3

[plain cypress]

In pretty sure unraid uses drive ID and not SATA port so I should be fine

[glossy veldt]

oh i see

[sharp ivy]

also you've got a better gpu. My LGA 775 gaming rig has a 9800GTX+

[plain cypress]

My desktop is all m.2 nvme now

[glossy veldt]

i just switched to sata m.2

[plain cypress]

Crime

[tired bear]

bro what happened

[empty quartz]

It is long past your time to upgrade

[glossy veldt]

oh you haven't even seen the beginning

[empty quartz]

Please never do ts again

[dire atlas]

Heads up for anyone using AMD Adrenaline. I just spent weeks messing with regedit files and buying new cables trying to figure out why 2 of my 3 4k monitor would only display in 1080p. Apparently there was SOME setting, god knows what in amd Adrenaline that screwed my monitors off. I finaly found it and reset Adrenaline to factory settings and it fixed everything

[jaunty apex]

I sure love my vague error messages

[unique aspen]

im upgrading this summer

[plain cypress]

USB 3 internal cable problems

I cannot find the retaining plastic anywhere. I checked the old board; nothing. I think we threw it out

Server so I don't need front panel IO anyway

[empty quartz]

I had a stroke trying to read ts

[plain cypress]

Asus boards and their USB 3 header tolerances are the bane of my existence

[ivory mountain]

Should i switch back after i get my 9070xt

[glossy veldt]

💔

[empty quartz]

No, switch to macos

[dire atlas]

There is fixed it. You happy

[ivory mountain]

Lowkey only a you issue but im glad u got it fixed

[empty quartz]

“There is fixed it”

[plain cypress]

Annoyingly this GT1030 is dvi only

Hopefully it boots without a monitor connected

[glossy veldt]

i love dvi

[plain cypress]

But I kinda want to update the bios

[sharp ivy]

Should I?

[glossy veldt]

dvi my beloved

[plain cypress]

Completely useless to me

[empty quartz]

Want my stash of gt 710’s?

[tidal geyser]

up to what you do ofc

[plain cypress]

Do they have DP or HDMI

[dire atlas]

Its these stupid ass phones. I swear the last few phones ive had the predictive text and auto correct have gotten worse and worst.

[empty quartz]

Hdmi

[ivory mountain]

Literally only gaming

[glossy veldt]

gt 710 sli when

[empty quartz]

Just turn it off

[plain cypress]

Look, if this was one dvi and one dp/HDMI, I wouldn't complain

[tired bear]

check if you even need it, sometimes you can boot headless

[plain cypress]

But being only dvi seems odd

[glossy veldt]

i felt the same when I first got my a2000 and it was 4 mini dp ports

[plain cypress]

I may have a stupid bios setting enabled that makes this a PITA

[sharp ivy]

I use it lots and it's pretty good, especially with my MX440

[tidal geyser]

any KACs that aint linux compatible?

[plain cypress]

Or maybe I fixed that a while ago and forgot

[sharp ivy]

like this

[glossy veldt]

i like it's got the screws

[empty quartz]

@plain cypress i think i have like 3-5 of these

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/msi-gt-710-low-profile-1-gb.b5859

[glossy veldt]

and it's easy to plug in too

dvi might just be the future

[sharp ivy]

indeed, it's like vga but better res

[ivory mountain]

I dont play any KAC games (other than fortnite but its not often and lowkey boring)

I was on arch a month ago, but ima go to cachyos (too lazy to redo my arch setup)

[glossy veldt]

i feel bad for using a workstation card with dvi but whatever

[tired bear]

type c everything

[plain cypress]

Yeah I live in a home, not an IT repair shop

DVI is archaic for my use

[empty quartz]

@sharp ivy vga is analogue, dvi is not

[ivory mountain]

E-waste trackpad

[clear canyon]

you big shit 😡

[tidal geyser]

it is semi broken

even tho i bought it "brand new" on aliexpress

[plain cypress]

Already had one today

[empty quartz]

Any trackpad that isnt haptic and actually has physical buttons is shite

[clear canyon]

you are what you poop, as they say

[tired bear]

it only has one physical button

[rigid fjord]

it's DP before DP became relevant

[empty quartz]

I am a shill for apples haptic trackpad

[plain cypress]

I don't think I have displays that accept physical DVI anymore

[tired bear]

clearly

[glossy veldt]

Weak

[tired bear]

passive adapters to hdmi exist

[frigid blade]

Bro why do people on Facebook try to get $2k for a pc that costs at most $1.5k

[rigid fjord]

most probably don't, but tbf what DP does and can be converted out to, essentially DVI already did it

[plain cypress]

I'm like 90% sure our hardware encoding for Plex was broken anyways so I swapped the A750 for something nice and low power just in case I need display for something

[frigid blade]

Literally it is the “No lowballs, I know what I got” meme

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/car-sale-cars-sale-pickup-lowballers-gif-27074536

[glossy veldt]

oh you won't believe, I've seen people asking 200+ usd for pentium machines with <4gb ram

[plain cypress]

I also did a cable cleaning a little while ago and I think I got rid of almost everything VGA and DVI

[glossy veldt]

cool cool

[plain cypress]

I probably have a DVI to dp adapter

Okay hopefully this just boots

[glossy veldt]

however

[empty quartz]

Ew

[glossy veldt]

believe it or not the display is more comfortable than 16:9

16:10 > 4:3 > 16:9

for reading documents that is

[empty quartz]

Idk what aspect ratio my mbp is, but its better

[tired bear]

just tilt the laptop to portrait mode lol

[craggy cove]

i think so too, one listing had it censored, others dont show it / dont have it on the product itself

[fickle valley]

16:10 is a god aspect ratio

[craggy cove]

but some scam ass samsung 1080 pro listings dont get removed

[fickle valley]

I absolutely love it

[rigid fjord]

the funniest bit DP to HDMI, just like DP to DVI-D can be done passively without any active conversions because it's fully only digital signalling

[tired bear]

btw if you turn off taskbar on your secondary monitor you get same effect

[glossy veldt]

i miss my 16:10 monitor so much

[fickle valley]

I used an old Asus monitor up until a few months

[rigid fjord]

DP to DVI-I is also possible as a passive cable, only due to DVI-I doing both digital and analog signals

[sleek remnant]

[fickle valley]

Served me well
16:10 22 inches

Very decent black levels for a 2007 monitor

[glossy veldt]

i use this old lg monitor a classmate gifted me, because its 768p

[plain cypress]

oh this shit loud

[frigid blade]

Very good selling strategy

[fickle ivy]

Can I please just post 3 images

😔

Which of these telephoto lenses should I get?

[plain cypress]

haven't you been asking this for weeks

[fickle ivy]

About 2 yes

Because my mom won't buy the one I finally decide on even though it's my money

[plain cypress]

did you look up reviews

[neon kiln]

I want to upgrade my motherboard (MSI H110M ECO) for nvme support - I'll upgrade my CPU along with it (i7 7700k)
I was thinking of getting an i3 12100f since they're pretty inexpensive - is that a bad choice? Should I fork out on a 12th gen i5 or i7?

[tidal geyser]

old store

[sharp ivy]

that's what I use to connect to my sanyo tv instead of a dvi cable

[tired bear]

https://youtu.be/ECc2BdJzZfs
its a osciloscope running android

[sharp ivy]

oh I have that adapter

it's pretty decent

[tidal geyser]

12100f is fine but yea 4 cores is starting to be a bit too little

[sharp ivy]

also if I want to use it with really any display I have

[neon kiln]

My i7 is 4 cores so I imagine it would be marginally better , but I think my CPU is bottling my 1080ti , so do you reckon I try something abit better ?

[tired bear]

isopropal sippy cup

[frail sequoia]

He’s 17 and idk why he vapes (I don’t)
I turn 1 year sober in about 12-14 days tho

[tired bear]

12th gen cores are way better than kaby lake cores

[neon kiln]

Idk how reliable user benchmark is but it says the i3 12100f is 12% better than the i7 7700k

[fickle ivy]

Idk how I didn't think of that

[sharp ivy]

Indeedee, I can run my Stirling generator and have a refreshing drink

👍

[tidal geyser]

the i3 12100f is MANY MANY MANY times better than that cpu

[tidal geyser]

do not say it again or you might risk getting sent to tech hell

[neon kiln]

I might go for that then, I had a guy in here a couple days ago say I should avoid i3s but didn't specify why

[tired bear]

banished to #public-chat

[tidal geyser]

wat

the i3 12100f is a budget KING

[tired bear]

what is the price diffrence to the i5?

[tidal geyser]

no hard numbers but i think like 40$

[neon kiln]

£70 brand-new and saves me the risk of dodgy second hands 👀

[plush wren]

12100f 90$
12400f 180$ according to pcp

[tidal geyser]

WHOA

[plain cypress]

i figured out the problem

bios was set to DC fan control so the P14s were blastin 100%

[tired bear]

yea quite a big diffrence

[plain cypress]

2021 bios date tho

[stable beacon]

i thought they were 120-150 back in its prime

is everything just that expensive now

[plush wren]

i think they were

[tidal geyser]

o wow i was almost perfectly on it

[stable beacon]

i think at launch they were 180 and then they dropped to 120 around 13th gen

[plush wren]

exactly 1 year ago it was 111 on newegg

[plain cypress]

ruh roh

the front of this chassis doesn't support 140mm

do I yolo 140mms with 2 screws each

[plucky tulip]

is 1 stick of 16gb ram better than 2x8

[plain cypress]

nope nope nope

[tidal geyser]

dual channel will always be better

[plucky tulip]

my friend just debated me and said 2x8 is worse

[plain cypress]

i've got a bridge to sell to your friend

[plucky tulip]

welp it is what it is

[plain cypress]

Okay so I have no way to currently control the rpm on the 200mms, so, hopefully the drives don't overheat with just the 140mms behind them

[tidal geyser]

tf is dis

well probs NAS

what NASos?

[plain cypress]

unraid server

[tidal geyser]

ah

[plain cypress]

I can half mount 140s in the front

Only 2 screws each and they'd be off center

nvm those are for 120s i am dumb dumb

[tired bear]

They are for 140mm fans that have 120mm mount holes

i just got windows 11 is there any way to get the taskbar on the left side of the screen? (i got used to it and now it looks so weird)

[main sleet]

Why so many hdds?

[cerulean dawn]

bro holy how much space u got in that?

[steel umbra]

they’re one of the first to implement switches with customizable actuation, impressive actually for logitech

[ivory mountain]

right click on taskbar -> taskbar settings -> taskbar behaviors -> taskbar alignment: left

[main sleet]

Im very tempted on picking one up.

[cerulean dawn]

shi i mean right side and i dont mean the apps on the right side i mean the whole taskbar on the right side of the screen

[plain cypress]

server

[main sleet]

Ah. Fair enough. How much storage you got in there?

[ivory mountain]

u can only do left or center

[plain cypress]

this chassis is way too large, I wish we had a mid tower
but that would require spending money and we already have the full tower

[cerulean dawn]

windows 10 is so much better holy

[steel umbra]

of you wait a year you may get it cheeper remember it won’t take long until everyone copies that

[plain cypress]

I have many many complaints about this nzxt phantom whatever

[main sleet]

True

[ivory mountain]

im sure u can do something in the registry

but i wouldnt recommend it cause itll most likely fuck something up

[plain cypress]

is there any reason to keep my hdd serial numbers private?

i'm going with probably not

[main sleet]

Probably not.

[plain cypress]

23 TB usable
+12TB parity
+4TB cache
+20TB external backup

[steel umbra]

your mouse may become obsolete once wearable mouses become mainstream

who knows

[frigid blade]

I feel like that would be so uncomfortable

I like resting my hand on something

[steel umbra]

wrist rests

[frigid blade]

While you’re moving your hand?

[steel umbra]

actually the point of wearable sensors is the comfort and compactness

no need to hold anything for hours

[steel umbra]

better devices can switch off when you make a gesture

oh you mean that sure why not

[ivory mountain]

sounds about right

[topaz copper]

You can have it show DISK Speed not Writes if you want

[plain cypress]

mehhhhh

i really only go to the dashboard to safety shutdown/startup

[topaz copper]

Ye Unraid Dashboard Perf is Shit

Least I think they fixed where it would crash if left open

[plain cypress]

lmao was this really an issue

[topaz copper]

Ye

[plain cypress]

the thing is, the software management is my roommate's department

[topaz copper]

Might still be tbh

[plain cypress]

I handle the hardware

[topaz copper]

On my Bingo Card for 2026 is move off Unraid

[steel umbra]

the best part about wearable mouses is that you don’t need a flat surface to use them

[plain cypress]

like I want to update the board BIOS since the current one is from 2021, but no idea if that would screw anything up for unraid so I just don't touch it

[topaz copper]

Unraid is pretty HW agonostic

[quasi moat]

If you a gambling man. Do it

[plain cypress]

I assume it would be fine i guess

[empty quartz]

I cant wait for scamsung to copy apple’s camera ois

[topaz copper]

It uses a Flash Drive as Key
( supposedly will be allowed Real boot drives this year)

[plain cypress]

I really just need to export the user profile

[grizzled frost]

so is truenas scale

[plain cypress]

they still don't allow real drives???

[topaz copper]

Ye which Is why I was telling him it shouldnt matter

[topaz copper]

no

[plain cypress]

okay if they add that feature, this samsung 950 professional may go back into the server

[topaz copper]

Its not really a issue for most who dont wanna user a slot for boot

and Unraid allows people to mix disks so its a better choice for those on a budget

[plain cypress]

There a spare m.2 slot

[topaz copper]

Im migrating off Unraid this year

[plain cypress]

we are not

our server needs are not that intensive and unraid mostly just works

other than we have a problem where it starts to get bogged down and needs a reboot once in a while

[topaz copper]

My needs really arent that dramatic

[plain cypress]

oh and we haven't gotten intel ARC decoding working yet
but mostly because we haven't bothered to troubleshoot

I wouldn't use unraid if I was starting new

[topaz copper]

What Arc card do you have

[plain cypress]

A750 is designated for the server
but I also have a B580 sitting around

[topaz copper]

Kernel doesnt support a B580

750 Should be fine

[plain cypress]

*both purchased for desktop use at some point, not server use

if i was buying for server use, A310 100%

[topaz copper]

I used to use a A380

Now A4000

[plain cypress]

idk if it was plex or unraid not being configured to use the A750 correctly but again, put 0 effort into T/S

there is certainly a backlog of server software maintenance to do

[topaz copper]

You need a plugin still likely

But if on 7.0 or Newer it should just work

[plain cypress]

welp

[topaz copper]

I would update im still on 7.2 Though

[south arrow]

[topaz copper]

I have a Spare 20TB I need to migrate the stuff that matters the Zpools can be exported

[ocean axle]

[trim isle]

Hey, could anyone help me in https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1467684855797256253

[trim isle]

Waited 2 more hours for a response then drove home no gpu in had

[tulip sparrow]

I feel this needs to be said more often https://youtube.com/shorts/x_yhgQ6mjWk

[trim isle]

This dudes stupid

A gaming laptop is a pc

PC != desktop

[tulip sparrow]

That is the the whole point of the video

If you actually watch instead of judging it by the title alone

[trim isle]

Sorry for judging it by the title that is meant to shortly summarize the video?

Thats the point of a title not to completely mislead

[tulip sparrow]

Blame Google for the bait titles people are forced to use

[trim isle]

Dude couldve put a question mark

Whos going to click on a video of a title thats just stupid

[grizzled frost]

so many people

people do it because it works

[tulip sparrow]

It's a "ragebait" title

[steel umbra]

up to people’s definition, the less confusing the better

there is a reason why we don’t call phones a “pc”

[tulip sparrow]

Like I said blame googles algorithm for it

[trim isle]

Doesnt matter

[steel umbra]

you shouldn’t call your mobile devices a pc because it’s confusing to the other person if you two don’t know each other

[tulip sparrow]

Youtube before Google bought it was much better

[ocean axle]

idk man, Pocket Computer is a pretty apt description for it

[steel umbra]

i mean, imagine someone coming up to you and says my pc has a mediatek and a touch screen

[ocean axle]

ive got a PC with a snapdragon

[tulip sparrow]

So blame Google and their constant fiddling with the algorithm which means ragebait titles are the bloody norm now along with cringe thumbnails

[ocean axle]

two of them, actually

[steel umbra]

laptop or phone

[ocean axle]

my phone has a tensor

[tulip sparrow]

Some chromebooks do lol

[ocean axle]

but the one i meant first is neither a laptop nor a phone

the 2nd one is a laptop

[tulip sparrow]

I don't care for pixel devices

And never did honestly

[steel umbra]

tablet?

[ocean axle]

nope

Qualcomm minipc

[steel umbra]

i frogor

[steel umbra]

womp womp

[tulip sparrow]

One of those snapdragon based pi like boards?

[ocean axle]

the Snapdragon X Elite devkit

this thing

[steel umbra]

i have unused 7a that i may use if eu pushes some surveillance act

[tulip sparrow]

Yup pi like board in a case lol

[ocean axle]

not exactly

[steel umbra]

altough at that point i assume eu would also start restricting grapehene os

[tulip sparrow]

More to it but that's the basic gist of it

[ocean axle]

its larger than that, and much more power hungry

that thing ramps over 10x the wall power from idle to full load, its wild

like 4w -> 80w iirc

[cosmic stratus]

Candy crush has an equalizer...

[proper tangle]

scissor clip snapped inside one of my laptop keys, asus tuf fa607n,
ive checked all the usual laptop key sites and I cant find this hinge/clip type anywhere any1 have advice on what i should do?

[ocean axle]

and its faster than a 2990wx

[tulip sparrow]

I was thinking of maybe getting one of those older snapdragon based boards instead of a weak pi for android based htpc/retro emulation up to maybe n64/psp maybe gc

[sharp ivy]

This is a super cool idea, a PC kit that's meant to be easy to use but means you still learn how to upgrade, maintain and repair your pc

ofc you'd make less profit but it's still cool

[frigid blade]

200 megs

[steel umbra]

which frequencies does it increase

[sharp ivy]

Powerful 200 megs

[frigid blade]

my app is 3 times that size

[steel umbra]

1 picture

[tulip sparrow]

Replace the whole keyboard is the one real option honestly. I need to do so with my old sager(clevo) screen needs replacing as well as the battery

[ocean axle]

checked message history, apparently it idles at 2w, and hits ~100w at full load

[sharp ivy]

pretty much

but it's the concept that's neat

[formal sonnet]

They should design the PC Kit so it's always upgradeable too. What could go wrong?

[tulip sparrow]

50x dang

[ocean axle]

show me a 100w pi

[proper tangle]

the laptop is 4 months old id like to avoid replacing the whole keyboard if possible

[sharp ivy]

YESS that sticker

🔥

[frigid blade]

you know what, let me add context first before the photo, this is my c++ code size after build

[ocean axle]

if thats including the build, thats tiny

[frigid blade]

yep, really tiny but powerful Remote Desktop app

[ocean axle]

ahh, right

[tulip sparrow]

Until standards change completely on you and the can no longer fit newer parts

[sharp ivy]

very neat

[buoyant bridge]

@rigid fjord How do you feel about this

[formal sonnet]

But... but... but they told me the PC would NEVER be obsolete!!!!/1!/2!/??!1 ⁨/s⁩

[topaz copper]

Thinkpad and Legal Weapon

It Tracks

[buoyant bridge]

legal weapon?

[frigid blade]

i think i can get it smaller, a lot of it is unused stuff from libraries

[tulip sparrow]

Not a nail gun lol

[formal sonnet]

Well, it's not a Thermal Drill, but it should still work against GenSec Safes and Bank Vaults. We roll out at midnight.

[topaz copper]

My bad I thought you were going The Wire Style

[buoyant bridge]

actually these are worse at drilling through metal

like significantly worse idk why wolf used one in the Hoxton breakout trailer

[topaz copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDpvkwBBu6U

[tulip sparrow]

Impact drill for drilling through stone/concrete?

[formal sonnet]

That's okay. Most GenSec security products are made of paper Mache.

[buoyant bridge]

I own that exact nailgun actually

DeWalt 18V XRP

[buoyant bridge]

rotary hammer

[topaz copper]

Need that Cartridge one

[buoyant bridge]

it's like a jack hammer and a power drill had a baby

[buoyant bridge]

nah nowadays the battery ones beat cartridge driven

[topaz copper]

Can have a Jam when homies need you to slide

[sharp ivy]

what if

sabot nailgun rounds

[buoyant bridge]

Thats a thing

[sharp ivy]

Yippee

[buoyant bridge]

multi point concrete anchor

you drive them with an air hammer but that's basically what they are

[sharp ivy]

oh kewl

[tulip sparrow]

Those nails guns can shoot quite a ways away

[sharp ivy]

gonna get me some of those

[buoyant bridge]

Yeah I've had a older air nailgun go off accidentally before and it got a nail half way into my truck like 15 ft away

[tulip sparrow]

This bloody image lol

[median crater]

guys what setting do i need to disable on asrock mobo so it doesnt kill my next ryzen cpu

i never oc'd but afaik there are some preset defaults which i assumed were safe which arent safe

[buoyant bridge]

God that's gotta be old

DeWalt 18V XRP stuff went out of production in like 2002?

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah it's been around

[buoyant bridge]

huh apparently they still made XRP tools till 2016

And discontinued the line in 2021 neat

[ivory mountain]

js keep updating your bios

keep it updated*

[frail sequoia]

This be peak bed gaming right here

[plain cypress]

So, how long have you been depressed for?

[frail sequoia]

Who?

Also chat I put trains in my pc case yesterday

[bold olive]

i feel bad for your trains

look at the back of that gpu

[topaz copper]

This man needs something to live for

He should install Gentoo

[frail sequoia]

Brittanica (the green one) is non working, my dad has had that one since he was six (he was born in 1982)

[frail sequoia]

It’s just dust, this is my psu dust

[bold olive]

clean. your. pc.

[frail sequoia]

It’s an evga w1 so I ain’t opening up that bomb

[frail sequoia]

I did the other day

By other day I mean couple weeks ago

[topaz copper]

You have a very Dusty Enviroment then

[frigid blade]

you really should clean it out, it can help with thermals

[dawn saffron]

damn OpenAI losing allat of money

[frail sequoia]

My r5 4500 and 6600xt don’t go above 90°c

[ivory mountain]

theyre also keep spending money they dont have, theyre going bankrupt soon or at least have to change shit up

[frigid blade]

90c is a lot

[dawn saffron]

lowkey what if Nvidia just keeps pumping in money into them

[ivory mountain]

someone needs to bulldoze every building or explode them (when theyre off work so nobody gets hurt)

[dawn saffron]

blasting Nvidia HQ is another idea 💀

[ivory mountain]

no i meant the datacenters 😭

[plain cypress]

Couldn't be bothered to clean a bit while you were at it?

[dawn saffron]

tbf you would be doing the planet a good or bad thing icl

[ivory mountain]

amd staying on gddr6 was so smart man holy shit

[frail sequoia]

I don’t have any cleaning stuff for my pc

[dawn saffron]

good thing is that your saving the enviroment . bad thing is that AI companies have more excuses to buy more

[frail sequoia]

I blow it sometimes, that’s it

[ivory mountain]

they cant buy more they arent making any money

[plain cypress]

You don't own a rag?

[ivory mountain]

who the hell uses a rag on pc components 😭

[steel umbra]

people aren’t willing to pay that much money as investors are expecting

[dawn saffron]

Nvidia is a money printing machine . they could probally just pump more money

[frail sequoia]

I’m 16 (17 in August) idk what my parents do and don’t have

[steel umbra]

which means there is going to be a slideshow

[plain cypress]

It would work as effectively as a swifter for getting the dust off the gpu

[plain cypress]

Time to grow up, kiddo.

[ivory mountain]

they cant make money if none of their shit is ever in stock, and theyre investing money into a piece of software that nobody wants to pay for

[dawn saffron]

eh well fair enough

[ivory mountain]

at least the ceo hit 100 billion tho !!!1!

[steel umbra]

tens of trillions spent on AI, which means if there are 10 bil people everyone on earth would have to pay $1000+

[dawn saffron]

🥀

[steel umbra]

does anyone spend $1000 on ai?

[frail sequoia]

Or I can keep dreaming big

[ivory mountain]

AI has only been an annoyance to me, ive paid $0, its more intrusive than anything, nobody asked for any of this

[plain cypress]

Sam Altman

[dawn saffron]

i dont think the ppl living in villages and ocean needs AI

[steel umbra]

exactly, investors are just crazy imo

yes the early ones made money

[dawn saffron]

seems like the investors can see their money in the form of sillicon and concrete

[steel umbra]

which means someone else spent that money

[ivory mountain]

investors when their over-the-top expectations of a business model that isnt profitable and causes harm to almost everyone price-wise doesnt work:

[steel umbra]

yk when you sell a share you sell it to someone else

[frail sequoia]

Whoops

[dawn saffron]

i feel like in 3 years time . the only standing AI agents are Gemini and Google AI

[steel umbra]

there is this argument of future cash flows

… there are already companies with good cash flow …

[dawn saffron]

OpenAI will either get daddies money from Nvidia and Oracle or they will just go bankrupt

[ivory mountain]

yeah cause a 500 billion dollar company needs more money...

how about they start caring about the consumer...? oh wait billionaires dont care about normal people what the fuck am i thinking

[steel umbra]

i think they’ll just lose assets and start monetizing heavily

instead of going bankrupt entirely

[dawn saffron]

Monetizing only works when people rely on their products .

currently more people use Gemini then OpenAI

[steel umbra]

some people already use ai for their homework

job, programming sadly

there are people willing to pay almost always

[dawn saffron]

Gemini will probally be the mainstream lol

[steel umbra]

so i believe openai will just scale down if a bubble pops

[dawn saffron]

considering that all the so called " AI PCs " have Gemini

[steel umbra]

gemini is garbage, do not use

[ivory mountain]

its gonna get fucked when apple removes chatgpt and goes with someone else

[steel umbra]

genuinely gemini cannot convert kg to g

as of 2026

[ivory mountain]

is a kg not just 1000g

[steel umbra]

not according to gemineey

[ivory mountain]

☠️

[dawn saffron]

only thing concerning is tech giants dream of AGI

[ivory mountain]

all the AI's were already fast why did they have to be greedy and fuck up the market for normal consumers dude

[dawn saffron]

they were already not making money lol

now they spent more and more money on something that doesnt generate anything

[ivory mountain]

spending money they dont have

[steel umbra]

they do have a revenue but it’s not good enough

[ivory mountain]

its like financing a ferrari when u make less than 100k a year

[dawn saffron]

not a ferrari

[steel umbra]

i assume they would shutdown the free models

[dawn saffron]

a Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier

[ivory mountain]

idk shit about planes

[ivory mountain]

they should shutdown everything 👍

[dawn saffron]

thats a ship

[dawn saffron]

they would just lose more users ngl

the competition is so big . only ones that would survive is Google and Microsoft

[ivory mountain]

90%+ of users are free users anyways

[steel umbra]

they need money and processing free requests is well…

[dawn saffron]

i mean yea they would lose less money ig

[steel umbra]

the free models would have to get hella more efficient to be profirable combined with ads and telemetry, search queries

sold to third parties

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/sora-ai-ai-dog-sora-ai-dog-dog-ai-ai-gif-1966252135688010824

[dawn saffron]

these chatbots will never make sufficient amount of money to even upkeep their own servers 😭

[steel umbra]

and efficiency usually requires initial investment

with those trillions spent world hunger would probably be solved for a decade

[dawn saffron]

OpenAI is looking at commiting 1.8 Trillion dollars to AI datacentres in the next 8 years

[plain cypress]

I, too, am looking to commit 1 trillion dollars, that I do not currently have, to datacenters

[dawn saffron]

thats the entire GDP of Southeast Asia excluding Indonesia

[clear canyon]

you should give me 1 trillion

[plain cypress]

i bid $50 billion for google chrome

[clear canyon]

ill be fine with 10mill

:D

[dawn saffron]

it would be funny to see Micron come back to consumer market and say " hey guys i am back , mb gang AI money is too nice "

[steel umbra]

stock skyrockets

[plain cypress]

my prediction is they quietly relaunch consumer products under the micron brand in a few years

[dawn saffron]

damn

when do yall think OpenAI will go bankrupt

[plain cypress]

not soon enough

[steel umbra]

i’m giving it a 5% chance for bankruptcy

in the next 50 years

65% that they scale down

30% nothing or up

[limpid dune]

5%?? bro I'm thinking nearly 100%

[limpid dune]

they arn't profitable, they have never been profitable, they have no plan to become profitable, they are buying things with shares... it's a ponzi scheme

[steel umbra]

it’s pretty hard to go bankrupt with that mass

[plain cypress]

I'd say its pretty close to 0% they go bankrupt ever

[dawn saffron]

its gonna be in the negatives

[plain cypress]

they'd merge or get acquired long before they go bankrupt

[limpid dune]

that's what Nortel said. oh and half of US real estate market too

[steel umbra]

they do have some revenue though

even bili bili wasn’t profitable until now

[dawn saffron]

very low

[dawn saffron]

diffrence is that BiliBili is owned by Tencent , a 600b dollar company making over billions yearly

OpenAI is a private company funded by investors

[steel umbra]

they thought they would continue to grow

most of them scaled down, didn’t go bankrupt

like even 5% is unlikely and maybe even overestimation

[dawn saffron]

Nortel did infact go bankrupt

[steel umbra]

just look up the files for bankruptcy in the most affected sectors by 2008

[dawn saffron]

how

[steel umbra]

bowser

[steel umbra]

the difference is they could’ve shut it down due to no profits

instead they started to monetize it

openai and such can as well force similar thing even if it hurts most of their users

just like people crave entertainment, some already need ai

i can’t say how much they would need to scale down in order to be profitable

[plain cypress]

Alternatively, look at Google/gemini

With a product they've been able to integrate into other services that were already profitable

And I'd bet they find a way to make ads work inside gemini

[dawn saffron]

they could not care less if Ai loses them money anyways

they already make money from other sectors . AI is probally their side hustle or something

[plain cypress]

Which is why they're in a much better position for success than openai

Gemini is in YouTube, Google search, Google docs, Gmail, Android, and soon iOS

Yeah Google got beat out the gate by openAI

And ChatGPT is definitely the "household name"

But Google has so much ability to productize it

[rose stream]

They've long been doing it actually, even before Nvidia entered the hardware game.

[steel umbra]

i’d pay google to remove it than to use it

it’s was too unreliable

[rose stream]

They also nearly lost out as the one to shoot earliest because they didn't commit to it right away and pivoted back to mobile, then they came back when the AI boom started to get momentum.

[plain cypress]

I use it for YouTube summarization all the time and tbh it's pretty damn good

[rose stream]

Now, they most certainly can push it as a major feature in their products easily... Even if right it's a bit of a mess to use.

[plain cypress]

Granted, summaries are probably one of the easier task

[rose stream]

What... Is even the point of using summarization on Youtube?

[plain cypress]

Ah, well, I technically use Gemini all the time because it replaced Google assistant

[plain cypress]

If I get linked a video that I have no desire to watch

Or do not have the time to watch

But I've used it some other times, tbh querying YouTube videos is my primary interaction with LLMs

[rose stream]

Okay, yeah, that's a foreign concept to me then.

[plain cypress]

Sometimes there's a discord conversation happening and someone posts a YouTube link

[rose stream]

Videos I have no desire to watch, I simply don't till I feel like it.
Videos I have no time to watch, I wait till I have time to watch it.

[plain cypress]

Easy to get a quick summary for a bit of extra background information

[rose stream]

Soooo yeah. Foreign concept to me.

[steel umbra]

what if the llm behind it doesn’t understand what’s going on in the vid

[plain cypress]

Or a podcast video that doesn't have timestamps. Summary will give me a quick rundown of chapters

[plain cypress]

It's actually been pretty solid

[plain cypress]

Lol I don't use it to fast forward my watch later queue

[rose stream]

Ironically, I rarely touch my watch later queue at all.

[plain cypress]

If it something I'm not sure I want to put the time into watching I might try for a quick summary to better gauge my interest

[rose stream]

I tend to just end up watching whatever I put there at a later date whenever I see it pop up in suggestions.

[plain cypress]

I am a religious user of watch later

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/predator-arnold-schwarzenegger-hand-shake-arms-gif-3468629

[rose stream]

Only times when my watch later queue comes in handy is just remembering certain videos that has something I recalled in mind and I remembered I put it into that playlist for later.

[steel umbra]

https://youtu.be/9vnFZ53uMbU wat about this nonesense

Hmmmmmm would it work on gaming videos without voice overs, I wonder.

Yeah yeah i do agree. Got little cuts brushing my bed/clothes with my hands until i figured it out.. but glass is non conductive?

[ionic atlas]

Yeah. This is enough

[bold olive]

memory is optional

[ionic atlas]

Too expensive

[grizzled nova]

memory is cpu l3 cache

easy

[ionic atlas]

memory chip be worth more than the whole board

[bold olive]

easily 6/7th of the price

[ionic atlas]

It’s like those baseball memorabilia where the ball is more worth than the signature on it

[pale flint]

512mb ram

[grizzled nova]

send a link for the page

[magic parrot]

is it normal for your usb and ethernet ports to die

like some usb ports work and some dont close to my ethernet port

thankfully i got a wifi card

[clear canyon]

die? no

[formal sonnet]

Nope, not normal at all, unless there's some kind of defect...

[magic parrot]

its like a three year old pc

like the lights are on in my router

and lights on my ethernet port but the ether net port is static while the router port is flashing ive tried to reset network settings and stuff like that

[neon ocean]

Posted in tech support.. I guess my GPU wants to do a rave party..?

[ionic atlas]

I think it’s from this company https://www.friendlyelec.com/

[warm anvil]

Fuck nvidia

Cutting back production of GPUs by 30-40%

[magic parrot]

ram prices are so much now rip

[empty quartz]

Idk how, but this is somehow more effective than the stock cooling on this 2020 macbook air

I ended up just grabbing my electric air duster

[limpid ivy]

I forget how thin heatsinks were on those airs.

[empty quartz]

Plus theres no heatpipe

[limpid ivy]

[limpid ivy]

lol I might swap to a fresh engine for the actual race and qualifying.

[empty quartz]

The last intel macbook airs dont even deserve f tier, thats still too high

[empty quartz]

What game?

[limpid ivy]

F1 25

But I wanna see it smoke so that is the plan

[warm anvil]

so will nvidia gpus

[median pilot]

could someone help with this why is chrome blocking my downloads?

[jaunty apex]

Uh uh uh

[formal sonnet]

Because it thinks those particular downloads are suspicious. It's a safety measure to help prevent people from accidentally downloading malware. If you know they're safe, carry on.

[sinful cobalt]

always take advantage of good times while they last

[molten sleet]

different browser like firefox or brave

[jaunty apex]

This wouldn't be uh.. Satisfactory would it?

[warm anvil]

Yeah me too

[jaunty apex]

A lua file for.. Satisfactory. With the steam ID for Satisfactory

[grizzled nova]

i really want to pick up a b50

[echo wagon]

can someone help me fix some graphics issue?

[jaunty apex]

Probably not with that much detail

L m a o

[echo wagon]

it happened again

am I about to get banned

it deleted the "what" and image

[warm anvil]

Do I need drivers for integrated graphics?

If so linux probably has it pre installed so we ball

[tidal geyser]

It told you why also no

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[warm anvil]

Alr

[echo wagon]

Omg

[jaunty apex]

Open source ones yeah. If it's nvidia might want the proprietary ones though

[echo wagon]

what am I suppose todo, I can't send images to show my problem

and my 2,000 dollar pc is about to be a brick.

[jaunty apex]

Try posting in #1027757333117415424 maybe?

[tidal geyser]

It comes with any os that actually tries to keep good support

[tidal geyser]

About to be, is it on fire?

[jaunty apex]

The proprietary drivers do?

[echo wagon]

if I can't fix it, it will probably break even more

[tidal geyser]

I at least know cachy is perfect at it same with Linux mint

[tidal geyser]

Try not breaking it

[jaunty apex]

I know they have easy installers but they arent on by default

Not hard to find but still

[tidal geyser]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1467777966846115912/1467778027789357078/WTH.gif

It's fukin happenin again

It survives windows reinstalls

[echo wagon]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1467793738716811421

[warm anvil]

It's not meant to do that

[jaunty apex]

Hardware issue?

[sour storm]

Today i build a pc

[echo wagon]

glhf

[warm anvil]

Good luck

[sour storm]

I am scared

[tidal geyser]

Nope

Too many and never seen it before a few weeks ago

This is my 3rd one

[bold olive]

will the screen even work

[warm anvil]

Use toothpaste to heal the cracks

And while ur at it put it in rice

[bold olive]

I think it's beyond repair

The battery sabotaged everything

[fierce breach]

is that an a1466 macbook air 13"

No screen will not work

That many cracks that deep almost certainly reached the lcd matrix

[fierce breach]

elaborate?

[rigid fjord]

needs more duggha duggha's

[delicate zodiac]

Would be basic 18AWG cable extension kit ok with rx 6750 xt and 9070 xt?

[true stirrup]

I love this image

[sudden rain]

why is intel customer support so horendous

[tidal geyser]

Dead cpu?

[sudden rain]

no gpu

and for rma i needed to contact intel first so im sure of getting a new one

but they ditch me after seeing the problem

third time now

[tidal geyser]

Why did you not contact with the store you bought it from

[sudden rain]

i did

[tidal geyser]

What version of the GPU is it

Well model

[sudden rain]

but bc of the problem showing up sparingly i needed to contact intel so intel gives a green light on sending me a new one

[sudden rain]

the b580

[tidal geyser]

What issue

[tidal geyser]

Windows is currently having issues and Intel drivers are intel drives

[sudden rain]

but its sparingly like it happens once a week or so

[tidal geyser]

Ddu

[sudden rain]

tryed everything

ddu clean install factory reset

[tidal geyser]

Older drivers?

Tried Linux?

[sudden rain]

the newest drivers

[sudden rain]

i have no idea how linux works tbh

[tidal geyser]

Try older ones if you are just starting to have issues

[tidal geyser]

Slap down some cahyos and do some gaming, the installer has one button to be able to install steam and heroic aka epic Games and gog

You also do not need to install any drivers yourself on linux

[sudden rain]

might look into it if it also appears with the older drivers

thank you

[cold skiff]

Pretty much 99% of people are the same

[abstract wigeon]

is there a cheaper good oled handheld than the steam deck oled? dont really care for any more performance than steam deck also

hoping that when all the steam hardware drops it will go on sale so i can get it

[sudden rain]

gg

[delicate zodiac]

Would be basic 18AWG cable extension kit ok with rx 6750 xt and 9070 xt?

[cold skiff]

Yashik was sick of ya shit before it even started

[sudden rain]

haha lmao he was

[true stirrup]

I feel like there was some sort of AI video enhancement model added to my camera software/phone just randomly and now it's just tweaking out
(I am purposefully shaking the phone the stabilisers are fine)

[buoyant bridge]

It'll make a 5" hole in concrete

[warm anvil]

hi nerds

[warm anvil]

is their job just to press the terminate button

[tidal geyser]

Rip ois

[warm anvil]

do they get paid for that

[true stirrup]

the ois is fine I was just manually shaking the phone to show how it wants to sharpen but just makes weird shapes
the camera in the phone is also new since a couple of weeks ago because the old ones focus module died

[warm anvil]

what phone is it

[tidal geyser]

Phones for the past like 8 years or something have extra software stuff to make images better

[true stirrup]

yeah I guess the new version just fucked my phone up

[warm anvil]

my grannys flip phone would never

[true stirrup]

Xiaomi 11T

[sudden rain]

You would think so lmao

Everytime when I ask about artifacting

[warm anvil]

she broke her flip phone so she bought a new fancy fliphone with a built in keyboard

the hell you mean "i give up"

[full tinsel]

well do ya, punk?

[warm anvil]

i just wanna watch tv man😭

my streaming service just gave up on me

i got it i believe

[sour storm]

Why is userbenchmark reviews for amd so.....dumb?

Like genuienly just the entire site reads like a 4chan shitpost

[tidal geyser]

are there any rules on the internet

[sour storm]

It's main gimmick seems yo be glazing nvidia and beating on amd but not giving any actual pointers

[true stirrup]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQSBj2LKkWg

[rigid fjord]

because it's absolute bullshit and the owner of ubm has a massive hardon for intel

[sour storm]

Any good alternatives?

[rigid fjord]

many

techspot, techpowerup,cpu/gpu monkey, technical.city, versus

[edgy holly]

are they still biased ??? you'd think they would figure out writing bullshit is not a good look for them

[tidal geyser]

Good look for them?

They have never cared what look they have when their the first link on Google whenever you search for a parts combo

[edgy holly]

oh fair enough 💔

if it aint broke dont fix it ig
