[rigid fjord]

still biased, still prdoucing absolute bullshit, and still coming out with the fake Efps

[edgy holly]

userbenchmark when they're talking about intel:

[warm anvil]

True...

[cosmic idol]

I actually laughed at this but yeah pretty accurate

I tend to go cpu monkey for my cpu comparisons, then tpu for gpu
seems to be pretty accurate

[rigid fjord]

the funniest bit is the fact UBM is banned by intel

[sour storm]

i mean i cam see why ubm owner rinds me.of the adoring fan from oblivion

[cosmic idol]

they're like their biggest fan

[left trellis]

😭

[shrewd heron]

Sup

[fallow yacht]

tf is an efps now

[cosmic idol]

😔

i hate this
especially when it's like 2000 dollars and it's like "yeah idk whats in it mate"

like bitch I am NOT paying that much for something I don't know the specs of

[cold skiff]

I thought AMD refused him access to products and he got upset, insulted then and then decided to rubbish their products?

[cosmic idol]

its not even hard to find basic specs, especially the (somewhat) most important ones
cpu
gpu
ram
storage

[cold skiff]

[cosmic idol]

fr

I ain't paying above like 500 if I don't know what's in it

even then I'd be hard pressed to pay like 250-300 lol

mainly cos im broke 💔

[cold skiff]

If people don’t put specific parts in lowballing £20 and then tell them, if you don’t supply the information I know you’re scamming

They generally don’t reply back to that

Not even once had an insult thrown my way because they know they’ve been rumbled

[solar minnow]

how do u guys organize ur files if its in one big c drive??

[solar minnow]

Can i move all these files into one folder?

or will that mess up my pc

[cold skiff]

#1027757333117415424

[frail sequoia]

didnt see that mb

[cold skiff]

I put them in folders with names that mean something

[solar minnow]

no all these default folders are like clutter how do i hide it

[cold skiff]

Yknow. How I would do it if I had paper and documents. Like the same.

If 6 folders are clutter… just don’t open it

[solar minnow]

I usually use to organize all my other paritioned drives. but if i dont want to parittion i will have to see all tehse system files everytime

[median pilot]

how did you know dude]

[random ember]

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-update/

[tidal geyser]

i already posted this

[warm anvil]

he posted it louder

oh my dock is just gone cool

[versed ferry]

Man. More and more I'm thinking of taking apart my 3090 ti and putting PTM7950 on the die to see if it helps anything. I get like, 10-12C hotter on the hotspot temperature frequently.

[sinful cobalt]

ptm takes time to workout

[versed ferry]

Yeah I have it on my 13900k CPU. I figure the GPU would be better since you don't have to worry about pump out as much and it's unlikely you'll have to take it apart again (at least for a long time).

Now mixing Arctic MX-6 on top of PTM7950

[warm anvil]

having keybinds set to my useful aps is so so cool

i dont even need rofi

[calm idol]

if it doesnt hit thermal throttle under regular power limits just leave it be ngl

[sinful cobalt]

PTM is less effective on CPUs bcs IHS

[sinful cobalt]

ok now this is just working against you

[versed ferry]

Yeah I think it only throttles under heavy load. It's just crazy seeing the hot spot go that much higher than the die temperature itself. It's my own fault for having such a hot CPU & GPU combo.

[versed ferry]

It works really well though to be fair. I haven't had issues with it.

[calm idol]

hot hotspot is kinda normal. its in the name

[jovial swan]

@tidal geyser someone has offered me a ROG Z13 with 32 GB ram and 1 TB storage For 14000 dkk, it worth,?

[tidal geyser]

what z13

right now im watching someone try to repair a broken z13 with a 12500h

in real time too

[jovial swan]

Ryzen AI max 395+

[tidal geyser]

i guess go for it

[versed ferry]

Also, yeah I figure that's best. I haven't even tried to take a GPU apart as of yet despite understanding the basics. Might as well not fuck with it unless something is really going wrong.

[warm anvil]

Yall seen that guy on tiktok who is making an OS

(With some help from ai)

[warm anvil]

https://www.tiktok.com/@sigmacat123123?_r=1&_t=ZN-93aMwPraHHa

[red light]

i need 32gb ram ddr3 so bad : (

[warm anvil]

Why😭

[tidal geyser]

not ddr5?

[versed ferry]

The stack of Dell Optiplexs next to the dumpster:

https://tenor.com/view/mercy-overwatch-come-here-gif-14280244

Can't say it will be fast ram, but it's ram.

[sinful cobalt]

already salvaged

[versed ferry]

OpenAI has a gaggle of goons in minivans scouting all dumpsters in America

[versed ferry]

Didn't "pass" by 0.1%, cmon.

Damn it got toasty.

I might have to check the filters I put inside the case, been awhile since I've opened it out, I've only clean the front mesh and external filters. Might want to remove those filters entirely. I only added them as extra dust prevention. Don't know if it's choking out air or not. Need to test it side by side sometime.

(Not that things like this are exactly common and have been fine so far)

(Since this is literally a stress test, but damn that got hot at its maximum. Above the set thermal limit towards the end)

[bold laurel]

Has anyone used clawdbot here?

[rigid fjord]

"effective" fps

[rigid fjord]

nah, he had a hardon for intel, kept trying to say 9th gen intel being the best cpu series to get forever

[rigid fjord]

don't even look at it, at that point

[cold skiff]

To be fair to him Ryzen 1x/2x single core was shite

I bought it for multi core performance at the time

I mean my 4770k was basically like 5% better at single core than my 1700x

[rigid fjord]

according to him, a 9th gen i3 is better than a threadripper cpu

[tidal geyser]

sound sabout right

[cold skiff]

Well we know he’s is a tard of sorts

[tidal geyser]

single core 1950X aint great

[cold skiff]

I love he hides behind an account to make “reviews” to make it look like it’s external and not him

[tidal geyser]

ofc multi core uh yeeaa

[cold skiff]

What’s it called again I forget

My ubm account got banned

[floral pecan]

Question is it bad practice to put a fan in that slot for the cpu cooler?

[cold skiff]

I made a review for fun that didn’t agree with the narrative and got banned without it being posted

[floral pecan]

I don’t remember if it is or not

[rigid fjord]

as that's the rear, no

[cold skiff]

Ah that’s it CPUPro

[floral pecan]

Dam okat

Got a overheated cpu warning for the first time so I’m like what the fuck

[cold skiff]

He can… it’s just worth 0.1-1c depending on processor

[hallow jasper]

I love shots of PC's in unnatural angles, requiring the first few seconds to orient yourself as to where you're looking

[cold skiff]

You should play OSRS.

[rigid fjord]

check mounting, paste and to make sure you removed the plastic film from the heatsink

[cold skiff]

If your cpu is over heating on an air cooler and youve not touched it in months/years you’ve either got a dead fan or may need to repaste.

[rigid fjord]

perfect for learning chinese 😉

[floral pecan]

I had the pc for 3 years with the same cooler never had an issue until this summer

So just a little perplexed that’s all

[cold skiff]

It’s a repaste job then

[rigid fjord]

did you check your cpu fan itself?

[floral pecan]

Don’t need to, replaced the paste in 2023? 24? When I put the 5700x3d in

[hallow jasper]

What is the actual problem?

[cold skiff]

It’s hot

We don’t know how hot

[rigid fjord]

improved airflow overall

[cold skiff]

There’s just it’s over heating

[floral pecan]

Hot enough that it restarted my pc saying it over heated

[tidal geyser]

water cooler?

[cold skiff]

We have no specification. No description of load. Just its over heating. No temperatures to go off.

[tidal geyser]

o no your that person

[floral pecan]

But could be just my room is a furnace during summer

[tidal geyser]

something is wonky

[floral pecan]

That’s on me, lemme give details

[hallow jasper]

What did? Where did you see this? Have you done any testing like running a synthetic load and monitoring stats in HWiNFO?

[tidal geyser]

even old past aint gonna make it claim overheating on power up

[cold skiff]

For all I know he’s cooling a 14900ks with that

[hallow jasper]

thanks, i hate it

[cold skiff]

In the Las Vegas heat

[rigid fjord]

3 main things to make a cpu overheat, @floral pecan

poor mounting
poor paste either amount or type of paste used
dead fan

[hallow jasper]

all of which can be tested for

[rigid fjord]

yup

[floral pecan]

I was playing warframe, and it restarted saying cpu over heated. I have an 7800x3d and am using the nh-d15 the paste on it is like what 2-3 years old?

[hallow jasper]

far more effective than just guessing at what the problem is

[floral pecan]

It’s probably nothing just how hot it is in my room atm

That it didn’t help it cool down

[rigid fjord]

overpaid for a cooler that doesn't beat a pa120se/ps120se

[floral pecan]

Eh generally don’t care

It’s fine

[hallow jasper]

You need to setup a load, doesn't matter which for something like this (occt, cinebench, etc..) and HWiNFO and either take good screenshots during the testing or be able to describe everything

[tidal geyser]

move to there

[floral pecan]

But the aestheticssss /s

[hallow jasper]

nh-d15 is more than capable of cooling a 90w 7800x3D so something is wrong with the mount or the paste

[cold skiff]

The boost and heat trap on a 7 series 3d cache burns through paste

[hallow jasper]

or the fans just aren't spinning

[floral pecan]

If it's the paste or the mount that's weird

[south arrow]

[cold skiff]

I replaced my paste after 14 months on a 7800x3d from general cleaning and could see it was drying out

[hallow jasper]

My 7800x3D has been under the same Assassin IV and NT-H2 for going on 3 years now, whenever it was released. Still benches inline with when it was first done.

[cold skiff]

I used mx4 for that. It’s got tf7 now

[hallow jasper]

the point is, we can sit here and speculate all day but its a waste of time. @floral pecan needs to actually do something

[cold skiff]

It never performed any worse but could see during general cleaning it was a bit shit for it

[rigid fjord]

have a look at mx-7 that's now available

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/nike-logo-nike-gif-20909840

[floral pecan]

I'm going to chill

[cold skiff]

TF7 I got like 3 free tubes so I just used. My temps are fine so I’m not bothered

All sealed so another decade of building for me

[tidal geyser]

laptop broken how to fix

[floral pecan]

Have you tried putting It in rice?

[tidal geyser]

i do not have any rice

[cold skiff]

Sprinkle thermite

Knowing you sim you probably bought some ewaste for fun anyway

[tidal geyser]

i did not buy it

i got it

[south arrow]

You're booted i see no issue xD

[cold skiff]

Is it ewaste?

[south arrow]

Can play so much Diablo 2 on that bad boii

[tidal geyser]

kinda

[cold skiff]

OG doom at 15 fps is peak

[tidal geyser]

it has a mx140 or smn

some old ass mx and i5 7400 was it

[cold skiff]

Yep it’s ewaste. Sprinkle that thermite and touch some grass for sanity

[tidal geyser]

i wanted to do some project with it but eh

[south arrow]

I mean if you get bored, its something to mess with at least

https://tenor.com/view/soldering-bad-gif-24967573

[boreal tiger]

painfull to watch

[tidal geyser]

yea im gonna use it for parts

[tidal geyser]

if its on the same rail its fineee

[boreal tiger]

wdym same rail

[tidal geyser]

you know trail rail

[rigid fjord]

i uh, have something like 4-5 tubes of 4g of mx-4 in different states of use

[boreal tiger]

no

[pearl thunder]

No way i see you on this server too right when i join. What are the odds

[tidal geyser]

no power rail, as in the 2 caps probs on the same thing so being soldered together is fine the coil i dono

[rigid fjord]

3d printer time

[tidal geyser]

xd it was what i was planning on doing

[tidal geyser]

i am on all the servers

[rigid fjord]

same almost

[boreal tiger]

what are other servers?

[floral pecan]

Alll

[pearl thunder]

This was a good deal right? Comes with 16gb ddr4 and a 512 gb ssd

[boreal tiger]

like?

[floral pecan]

Yes

[rigid fjord]

yes

[south arrow]

[frigid blade]

This doesn’t show us any info

[tidal geyser]

doesn't closed mean its already sold

[boreal tiger]

oh wow

[pearl thunder]

Yes. I bought it

[rigid fjord]

gonna get myself some mx-7 and see what it's like, it's suppose to be a large improvement over mx4/5/6

[tidal geyser]

why ask after you bought it xd

[tidal geyser]

it does its at least a i7

6-9th gen

hopefully 8th or 9th

[frigid blade]

Oh, I didn’t see the tiny images

[south arrow]

These will probs be my last tubes of mx4 but ol reliable especially for old techs

[tidal geyser]

AU NAU ffs

[frigid blade]

It looks older by the chassis

[pearl thunder]

I’m just gonna take the ram and ssd for another build. It’s an i7-8665U.

[frigid blade]

Yah that’s good for $50

[rigid fjord]

that moment when you see the service tag on a dell and get all the info from it

[tidal geyser]

that is actually still decent

[pearl thunder]

It’s pretty weak for what i want to do

[frigid blade]

It’s faster than my laptop, lol

[rigid fjord]

@limpid ivy knows exactly what i mean by this

[pearl thunder]

You guys know if i can take that battery and use it for something?

[boreal tiger]

so i have old 2009 intel quad core cpu what should i do with it?

[frigid blade]

I have that Latitude 7420 coming in today some time before 7pm

[tidal geyser]

how

[pearl thunder]

How much did you pay for it

[frigid blade]

If you buy a battery management thing you can probably do some kind of project with it

[rigid fjord]

throw it in the air, shout "pull" and watch what happens

[tidal geyser]

yea take out the BMS and use the cells directly well with your own BMS

[frigid blade]

$160 total, i7-1185G7, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD

[pearl thunder]

Use it for another laptop. i want to do a build. If not ill just sell the laptop

[frigid blade]

It’s DDR4 though and soldered

[rigid fjord]

funnily enough, 11th gen intel mobile cpu's where actually decent

[boreal tiger]

thats really good deal how

[rigid fjord]

lpddr4

[tidal geyser]

i got a i7-1065G7 laptop for 40$
-# water damaged and does not turn on

[frigid blade]

Yah that’s why I chose it, it’s got the quite better iGPU

[pearl thunder]

That’s solid tho. Connect a gpu and you could be playing most games out there at 1080p

[rigid fjord]

it's the only time 11th gen was actually decent

[tidal geyser]

my 15w one for a 4k screen not so happy

[frigid blade]

Nah no need for GPU I use VMs with GPU paravirtualization from PC my that I can remote into for any gaming on my laptop

[pearl thunder]

I can’t stand the latency on cloud gaming

[frigid blade]

The latency isn’t noticeable if you self host correctly

[cosmic stratus]

Sure.

[pearl thunder]

It’s pretty noticeable on fortnite, but i guess it would be fine for more story type games

[rigid fjord]

can't have latency if you got 10G fibre

[frigid blade]

Are you talking about GeForce Now?

[cosmic stratus]

You mean non competitive titles.

[frigid blade]

Because self hosting is not noticeable at all on Fiber

I used to play Rainbow Six Siege comp from my school computer remoted into my desktop

[pearl thunder]

Yeah. Although my internet isn’t really that great 🤷

[cosmic stratus]

Same, used parsec

[frigid blade]

The latency was 4 frames at 120fps

[tidal geyser]

even a old igpu can do fortnite pretty well

ofc not at max quality and so on

[rigid fjord]

one of those laptops, if the screen is good but the rest of it sucks, you got a great little screen you can use for random diagnostics instead

[frigid blade]

That’s different, they have higher latency than self hosting especially the deprioritized free users

[cosmic stratus]

There ya go 💔

[frigid blade]

I was prioritizing the touch screen more tbh

[tidal geyser]

no thanks i would rather sell the laptop for 800$

[pearl thunder]

At performance mode yeah

[frigid blade]

The i7-4600U can play vanilla Minecraft 1080p@60 medium settings

[pearl thunder]

Interesting, glad it works for you.

[cosmic stratus]

I played with an i3 6100u at 150fps at 1080p.

And 16gb of ram

[rigid fjord]

no, i mean like, you know the waterlogged one that no worky, if the screen still works, you have a portable screen for diagnostics use

[tidal geyser]

i already have a usb-c one

[pearl thunder]

Does the motherboard still work

[tidal geyser]

wat

[tidal geyser]

look at it again

[rigid fjord]

there would be no display if the mainboard was broken on it

[pearl thunder]

Yeah what’s wrong with it??

[rigid fjord]

laptop = mainboard
desktop = motherboard

[pearl thunder]

Huh

[tidal geyser]

look at it a 3rd time

its missing the rest of the laptop

[rigid fjord]

be fun to modify it using a mechanical keyboard for laptops

[pearl thunder]

Just turn it into a desktop then. That shi has no resale value anymore 😹

[rigid fjord]

it would be an aio, not desktop at that point

[frigid blade]

Bro I just went to pick up the laptop package look at the avg mpg

8.4 mpg 🥀

[pearl thunder]

Damn, that prolly cost a fortune 😭

[tidal geyser]

i got the ram for 100$ :3

[pearl thunder]

That’s worth more than gold In this economy.

[frigid blade]

ive been looking at the battery replacements for the Latitude 7420 I might just pay the extra $20 for a reputable seller

I have $60 in amazon credits i dont remember why

$40 for a battery

[pearl thunder]

Im thinking of buying one of these so i can play fortnite.

[tidal geyser]

joke?

[frigid blade]

what about the rest of it? lol

are you trying to fit it inside the laptop you just bought?

[tidal geyser]

at a minimum the special heatink and power port

[quasi moat]

Purchased this at this price in June

[pearl thunder]

No im dead serious. I already bought ram and a ssd

[frigid blade]

what about the display

and the chassis

[tidal geyser]

how are you going to cool it

[frigid blade]

fingers are ok thermal conductors

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-spongebob-finger-guns-hot-burn-gif-4959459

[pearl thunder]

I watched a diy perks video where he made a portable ps5. I’ll just copy what he did for cooling.

[frigid blade]

bruh

[tidal geyser]

he has like 10K$+ worth of equipment to make that stuff or something

and way way too much time on his hands

[frigid blade]

youtube makes things seam easier than they are

especially when videos are edited to save time lol

[pearl thunder]

I can 3d print a chassis, and my uni prolly has some of the tools i need.

What more would i need that a soldering iron anyways

[frigid blade]

gotta make sure it wont melt from the heat and all that

[pearl thunder]

That’s a thing that can happen??

[frigid blade]

yes plastic melts

laptops get hot

especially if you use a janky cooling solution

[azure eagle]

they shouldn't get hot enough to melt plastic though they will shut down first at least I'd hope so

[tidal geyser]

pla can only do 60c

[tidal geyser]

most 3d printing people use pla

[pearl thunder]

Damn. I think i should just buy the laptop’s cooling system.

[frigid blade]

pla melts easy

[azure eagle]

OH I missed that it was a 3D printed plastic

[tidal geyser]

and abs

[pearl thunder]

What is an abs.

[frigid blade]

at 60C it starts to distort and lose structural integrity, so it wont necessarily melt

[tidal geyser]

this is abs

[pearl thunder]

I was thinking of building the chassis with alluminum

[tidal geyser]

glass transition temperature

[pearl thunder]

Or maybe brass.

[frigid blade]

well i hope youll put something around it cuz that will probably be really hot to the touch

[tidal geyser]

https://all3dp.com/2/pla-petg-glass-transition-temperature-3d-printing/

[frigid blade]

youd want to use ABS then yah, laptops go up to like what 95C?

thats still pretty close, might be bad over time

[pearl thunder]

Bro what is ABS??

[frigid blade]

its a filament type

[tidal geyser]

you have a 3d printer but do not know what ABS is?

[frigid blade]

its a stronger type of filament

[tidal geyser]

i dono about strength but it can take mo heat

you can even put boiling water in it

[frigid blade]

yum microplastics

[pearl thunder]

I dont have a 3d printer. My uni does and they let ppl 3d pront for free. It uses generic PLA. I dont know what that means

[tidal geyser]

you cannot print a enclosure with the 3d printer then

[boreal tiger]

i never understood why people smoke

[frigid blade]

you need to find a good cooling solution first

this is not a good project if youre on a budget probably

[pearl thunder]

The laptop’s original cooling system is only $30 bucks on ebay

[frigid blade]

yah that could work

[pearl thunder]

Why not tho

[frigid blade]

because the PLA would not hold lol

[warm anvil]

👋

[frigid blade]

laptops get notoriously hot especially with a dedicated graphics card

[pearl thunder]

Laptops are made with plastic chassis and they dont melt

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-gif-23304158

[tidal geyser]

ABS

[warm anvil]

Is that kaguya

[tidal geyser]

probs

[frigid blade]

theyre made with PC or ABS or the hybrid which has much higher melting point

[warm anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/kaguya-gif-21903164

[rigid fjord]

a type of plastic that can handle higher temps before failure

[tidal geyser]

a PC made of PC

[rigid fjord]

think some use a form of pet

[tidal geyser]

was gonna say petg above with the printer

[pearl thunder]

Hmm what should i make the chassis with then.

[tidal geyser]

while laptops would be using pet

[tidal geyser]

brass or aluminum like you said you would

[frigid blade]

didnt even know what that was tbh

[rigid fjord]

pet, not petg, chemically different but similar results and temp handling

[tidal geyser]

I KNOW

[rigid fjord]

basically what plastic bottles be made from

[boreal tiger]

is there an AI model that can make 3d stuff from pictures

[frigid blade]

probably

[tidal geyser]

thus why i said ABS not petg for the chassis

[frigid blade]

you can 3d scan with some phones

[tidal geyser]

yes but its bad

[frigid blade]

and just send it to a printer (after touch ups)

[boreal tiger]

do i need a specific hardware?

[frigid blade]

i think so, theres some type of laser emitted to get depth or something

[warm anvil]

If I could choose between a laptop or a pc with the same specs and price I'd take the pc

[boreal tiger]

can iphone do it?

[rigid fjord]

yes but it's crap, and you'd want to use the likes of software like blender or sketch to turn a 2d image into a 3d image that then can be turnt into a 3d model

[frigid blade]

LiDAR or ToF for anything good

[boreal tiger]

ok

[frigid blade]

I think thats the same tech used in iPhones with the measurement app so you can measure irl

[warm anvil]

What linux distro do servers use?

For like Google or something like that

[lavish spire]

Anyone know if there is any USB ethernet cards that can be internally attached? Eg, PCI-slot, but using an internal USB header?

[frigid blade]

RHEL ftw

Ubuntu server is probably the most popular

[rigid fjord]

might as well use one that connects into a pcie x1 slot

[hallow jasper]

What are you trying to do, exactly. Add ethernet to a desktop pc?

[azure eagle]

I would not be surprised if google made a proprietary distro that sucks

[warm anvil]

Do they even have a DE for the servers

[warm anvil]

True

[lavish spire]

Add another ethernet socket to my NAS, and all PCI-e slots are taken, but I have one free "grid" in the back 😛

[frigid blade]

no clue, i never used it

[tidal geyser]

ubuntu server is CLI

[frigid blade]

no but just install gnome

[warm anvil]

Get a free laptop today btw

Gonna install endeavourOS

[azure eagle]

but a network card with more ports I guess

[azure eagle]

nice

free tech is cool

[hallow jasper]

Any USB3 Ethernet adapter will be fine. Just need one of these.

[warm anvil]

True

[rigid fjord]

or kde plasma

[sour storm]

First time boot

What do

[tidal geyser]

y

[hallow jasper]

looks pretty normal.. just read the screen

[tidal geyser]

tbf it should be a bit more clear

[cosmic idol]

Helo

[tidal geyser]

like if this is first boot just press y

[frigid blade]

look at that it almost looks good

i gotta figure out the audio tho its kinda dookie sometimes

i broke it at some point when making changes

[sour storm]

Expo?

[frigid blade]

You asking me?

[hallow jasper]

I think they're doing that thing where they just expect us to fill in the blanks and answer their question with no context

A high quality set of ddr5 32 cl30 was like 140gbp now sitting at 540gbp

[gaunt spade]

140 was high

[native path]

Read what the computer is telling you

[frigid blade]

4060 for $200, hmmmm

[tidal geyser]

what does this even mean to the average user

[native path]

Pretty decent actually, i'm assuming it's the 8g model?

[tidal geyser]

there is only a 8GB model

[native path]

"Press Y"

[clear canyon]

gibberish lmao

[tidal geyser]

but it says the system will not boot without a recovery key

[frigid blade]

Comes with more actually

[native path]

Mistook it for the 4060ti you're right, was on my mind since I got the 8gb ti edition for $300 not too long ago

[tidal geyser]

charge your phone

[frigid blade]

Might be a good deal I’d have to check prices

[frigid blade]

11% lasts so long on the 17 pm it’s crazy

Especially in battery saving mode

[native path]

But you can also google what fTPM means

[tidal geyser]

i said the average user

they have not heard of google

[mortal venture]

Good enough

[gaunt spade]

genuinly sad

[native path]

The average user is not taking out a cooler, putting a CPU in, adding new thermal paste, putting the cooler back in, and putting the cpu fan header back in

The average user is also not building their computer

[tidal geyser]

fine average pc builder

[native path]

Average PC builder knows of youtube and google

[tidal geyser]

for whatever reason iv not seen many tubers show what to do with that

[frigid blade]

How is that sad

[tidal geyser]

not sure i have seen any

[gaunt spade]

so small

[frigid blade]

I’m coming from a 12 mini that would have to be recharged multiple times a day

I can manage recharging every 1.5 days

[native path]

This is true i've seen maybe 2 people

[pearl thunder]

Ssds aren’t that expensive dude

[mortal venture]

I have 2 in this pc

But I wanted to test this HDD

[gaunt spade]

are we deadbutt

[tidal geyser]

weren't

Can't make this shit up if you tried https://x.com/pirat_nation/status/2018278976129585308?s=46&t=ZOtkM91UaK9tdjk6NkaM5A

Windows 11 update breaks all ASUS native software on the ROG Xbox Ally

A recent Windows 11 update has caused ASUS Armoury Crate to stop launching on ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X handhelds.

Windows Security's Smart App Control feature is incorrectly flagging the software as

X · Feb 2, 2026, 11:03 AM

[mortal venture]

I get free drives from time to time and I need to test them

[native path]

I'm so not interested in getting storage for my nas

[tulip sparrow]

Portable monitor using a MICRO HDMI connector?

[hallow jasper]

kinda awesome, actually. Armory Crate basically is a virus

[tidal geyser]

what do they mean incorrectly?

[pearl thunder]

Free is a good price. What do you do with them?

[hallow jasper]

terribly desgined software package that digs intself into Windows in ways that it shouldn't

[rancid solstice]

Nah just a regular hdmi monitor

[native path]

+1

[tulip sparrow]

I was going to say micro hdmi is known to break after a while LOL

[native path]

Considering it's a handheld device i'm assuming it actually needs some of the software from ASUS for it to actually work though

[frigid blade]

Nah bro like $2.3k for a 3070 ti and 11900k build, im actually getting annoyed

[hallow jasper]

have you begun troubleshooting? better than just guessing

[native path]

I dunno how well those would work without drivers I've never owned a handheld outside of the psp or a DS

[rancid solstice]

Gpu may be damaged cause the motherboard got cooked in shipping and the gpu has a small chip on the power part of the pcie connectors

[hallow jasper]

@rancid solstice

[tidal geyser]

armory crate is not a driver

[native path]

It installs drivers for you

[tidal geyser]

no

[rancid solstice]

Yh currently installing drivers again

[native path]

Yes I literally have a G14 sitting next to me

[tidal geyser]

windows update installs updates

[rancid solstice]

May need to reinstall Ubuntu

[tulip sparrow]

ALWAYS SHIP THE GPU SEPARATE!!! If not its going to break

[rancid solstice]

Works fine in windows

[rancid solstice]

I know lol

[tidal geyser]

windows update should give you the drivers that are needed

[mortal venture]

It depends

[frigid blade]

Just get expanding packing foam if ur shipping a pc

[mortal venture]

I keep them, put some in servers or just sell them

[native path]

Aside from GPU drivers and motherboard drivers on a regular PC yes

[rancid solstice]

We ship them with custom brackets but even that is sometimes not enough

[tidal geyser]

no as with all laptops windows update should give you trackpad, and even special button drivers

[rancid solstice]

Does reduce damage by like 90%

[mortal venture]

This piece of shit is made from free parts

[native path]

Yes this is not a laptop though

[mortal venture]

Most of them but still

[native path]

Id like a free PSU mine isn't handling a 1070ti

[tidal geyser]

ok fine handheld devices

[distant steeple]

free ram? in this economy?

[tidal geyser]

or fkn any device

[mortal venture]

12GB DDR3

Only new parts are psu and cooler

[native path]

I'd like to see windows update give enough drivers for a handheld device to function for the average user

[tidal geyser]

if i had one right now i would reinstall the OS

[native path]

I wish I had one as well

[tidal geyser]

interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyV1yRt6VkQ

[distant steeple]

i imagine microsoft would work something out in regards to preinstalled and updating drivers for the xbox rog ally?

[native path]

Perhaps

I haven't owned a handheld since the DS nor have I owned a handheld like the ally so I dunno

[distant steeple]

i dont have one and cannot afford one so i cannot check

[native path]

doesn't seem enjoyable though

[distant steeple]

but i imagine that would be the most likely candidate for a plug n play experience

[tidal geyser]

i think the only big thing would be tdp control

[mortal venture]

I still need to check 4 free ssd that I have

[distant steeple]

armory crate sucks but its not uncommon for handhelds to have custom software

usually for tdp control and like screen controls (brightness, refresh rate, fps cap, etc)

[tulip sparrow]

system wide fsr as well

[tidal geyser]

all of those are already in windows settings well not fps cap 😐

[hallow jasper]

Asus laptops and handhelds should already have moved to G-Helper https://github.com/seerge/g-helper

[distant steeple]

which windows can do, but a quick access menu is kinda nice, similar to the steam deck

[tidal geyser]

this too

[native path]

This shit is way better than armory crate

[tidal geyser]

and windows defender does not flag it as malware

[distant steeple]

huh?

[tidal geyser]

fixed

[mortal venture]

good as new

[tidal geyser]

did you just wipe the smart data for it having issues?

[mortal venture]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

uh what is the point of doing that

[mortal venture]

Idk
Just for fun

[tidal geyser]

write on it something like smart failed or something

just so you do not confuse it with a drive that is not having issues

and use permanent marker

[mortal venture]

I have it marked

[tidal geyser]

in case you ever wanted to sell it the guy could not just resell it for a lot more than its worth without saying smart was wiped

[mortal venture]

All drives I have are marked after testing them

Also I just fucking love when I get a drive

And it's full of someone's data

[boreal tiger]

what have you found so far?

[pearl thunder]

All fun and games till you find gigabytes of cyberpunk on there

[mortal venture]

Photos, bank logins, passwords to everything

films for adults

[boreal tiger]

any military's documents?

[mortal venture]

Nope but also some business data

People are stupid

[fierce breach]

It's kinda creepy to look through someone's drive at all, let alone with enough granularity to find their passwords.

People may be stupid, but the right thing to do is erase or shred and move on

[boreal tiger]

like what

[mortal venture]

I don't check that passwords or anything

Just check if there is anything and then I format it

[fierce breach]

You answered with logins when asked what you have found, which means you were snooping

[fierce breach]

Why check? Just format it

[mortal venture]

I check if they are formatted or not

Some of them are and some of them not

[fierce breach]

So how can you have found photos, logins, etc, if you didn't go and look?

[mortal venture]

There are folders

[fierce breach]

In the drive's root or in the user folders?

Zero ethical reason to go to the user folders.

[mortal venture]

like that

[fierce breach]

Sure, that could be anything

You listed specific things

[unique aspen]

cant use headset rgb now tho as i plugged it into monitor

[fierce breach]

why is it plugged into your monitor

[unique aspen]

it would interfere with mouse if in pc

[fierce breach]

No?

[unique aspen]

yes it does

[fierce breach]

Do you have a 5 pound wire or something

[unique aspen]

no

but mouse sensor glitches quickly

[fierce breach]

Thats sounds more like a mouse issue than a headphone issue tbh

What mouse do you have? From the pic it looks like an office mouse

[cosmic stratus]

Ram is expensive rn so to feel special I turned on this rgb effect

[gusty basin]

can someone help me choose a laptop, my budget is around 950$ i play games like league and overwatch, maybe a little bit of story like red dead or detroit but normally i would use it for university work and c++ coding, an oled one would be nice because i wanna try what its like but if that budget can’t afford it its okay too

[devout valve]

Hey I came onto in issue when I switch from intel (MSI Pro Z-790-A Max WiFi) to an amd (ASUS ROG Strix B850-F) motherboard and when I enabled DOCP my ram wouldn’t work well and I would have frequent crashes yet I checked the ram the computer said I had a ram issue but I checked on the previous motherboard and it checks it and the issue doesn’t exist. Would I have to get a new motherboard or is this another issue

[tidal geyser]

90$

[viral kayak]

my temps are jumping big numbers uhhh.

[tidal geyser]

im not sure to do it or not

[viral kayak]

just last month on idle i was having 20c on idle now its jumping between 30 and 50

according to hwinfo

[tidal geyser]

stop it its fine

[viral kayak]

im doing nothing bru

i just find it weird that my temps have increased that much on idle

[plain cypress]

M1?

Pretty sure M1 but I don't recall if there was an early 2020 Intel release

Like 95% sure m1

[tidal geyser]

m1 is 2020 but that one is not

[plain cypress]

I should have gotten the gold

The gold looked so much better in person than the renders

[tidal geyser]

https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?identify=a2179

[fickle ivy]

I've installed steam on the school computers for so many people now I've remembered the command(?) now

[gritty panther]

m1 is 6 years old already? sheesh

[plain cypress]

Does the 2020 in this context refer to the manufacturing year, or was there an Intel revision released in 2020

[fickle ivy]

Maybe it's a script tbh idk

[plain cypress]

December 2020 so 5 and a bit years

[gritty panther]

that is crazy. can't believe that was already 5 years

[tidal geyser]

yes

[fickle ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/so-old-gif-27277116

[plain cypress]

Oh, March 2020. I see

[plain cypress]

Been using mine since launch

Well, December 26th 2020 I think so a few weeks after launch?

[gritty panther]

I have coworkers with m1 macs. still snappy with good abttery life

[plain cypress]

Mine works great as a Chromebook

[tidal geyser]

210$ 🙁

[plain cypress]

8gb ram is insufficient for more intensive tasks

[gritty panther]

it's still super fast?

[tidal geyser]

tbf people are selling these for around there

[gritty panther]

I dont expect to do intensive tasks on a 5+ year old laptop neither

[plain cypress]

Lightroom can bog it down a bit

[plain cypress]

I don't have a great way to segment if the CPU or ram is limiting, I suspect just always hitting swap to be what's slowing it down tbh but I don't use it much more anyways

[fickle ivy]

Why do I still have my data warning set to 8gb lol

[plain cypress]

Although my Adobe subscription will be ending this year so there's a chance I switch to Apple photos

that one was absolute garbage

even worse than i imagined

[plain cypress]

Idk man
I'd never watch that video so I really don't care if the summary is accurate lmao

[steel umbra]

then just entirely ignore it when the sum is that bad

it gave you wrong info about what happened in the vid right after first question

[plain cypress]

I'd never know if the summary is bad

[steel umbra]

just stop using it y

[plain cypress]

No?

If it makes you upset, I shall use it more

[tulip sparrow]

If they aren't in sub $1k laptops then no they haven't killed budget. $1300+ and you are dealing with 4060/5060 based laptops which are stronger then the iGPU in Panther lake

[plain cypress]

I'd bet this is pretty accurate

[cosmic stratus]

Just look at the time stamps if u care enough

[plain cypress]

There should be cheaper models coming
Companies do like to send their premium/top end products as review samples for whatever reason

[tulip sparrow]

Snapdragon has a better chance at "ruining" budget then Panther lake does

[plain cypress]

For gaming?

[cosmic stratus]

Probably a better chance than arm getting decent game support, sure

[steel umbra]

is it all true

[tulip sparrow]

I can get 4050 based laptops for sub $800 all day long LOL

[plain cypress]

Idk how second gen snapdragon is; but first gen had terrible GPU drivers

I'm more interested in the x7 358H if we see it in ~ $1000 laptops

Unless the ram now adds +$800

[tulip sparrow]

and 4050 is what TOPEND Panther lake meets LET alone the weaker ones that are going to end up in cheaper devices

[plain cypress]

Yay ai?

[tidal geyser]

well yea if you compare them on paper, but uh you know a laptop is meant to go on your laptop

[cosmic stratus]

For running LLMs locally I guess.

[plain cypress]

Sorry that was sarcasm

[cosmic stratus]

Figured

[tulip sparrow]

NPUs are mainly for AI at this point yeah LOL

[cosmic stratus]

Are they even powerful enough for basic shit

Otherwise im still better off using the gpu in my desktop lol

[tulip sparrow]

Unless someone has leveraged a NPU for something else its basically USLESS to 99% of people

[frigid blade]

OBS uses them lol

[tidal geyser]

wonder much windows is going to love 9600MT ram

[plain cypress]

at this point
Were NPUs literally for anything else?

[tidal geyser]

For example using in meetings different background and noise suppression
Auto correct
Grammar check

[tulip sparrow]

Not that I know of

[cosmic stratus]

Nope

[tidal geyser]

maybe even live translation

[sudden flame]

The opposite of overclocking

[tulip sparrow]

Undervolting?

[frigid blade]

That’s not even that bad

[cosmic stratus]

Yea. Try 400mhz

[tulip sparrow]

Or are you stuck at like 0.8GHZ?

[frigid blade]

My gf laptop runs below 1GHz sometimes, pretty low

[tidal geyser]

that says 1.57

I somehow managed to take an out of focus photo on a smartphone camera

[tulip sparrow]

I have seen "modern" cpus run at 0.8ghz LOL

2 sockets just to have 12 cores 🥀

[frigid blade]

This is a battery saving thing

[sudden flame]

It’s a server terminal I can’t download discord onto it it

[tidal geyser]

like what is the point of going at 6ghz while doing literally nothing that needs close to that

[tidal geyser]

but you have browsers there?

[tulip sparrow]

Even on desktop?

[sudden flame]

It so I can run a local media server

[frigid blade]

Yes, and thread sleeping

[sudden flame]

Local media server

[hasty valley]

You don't have to get ready if you stay ready.

[frigid blade]

There was a guy trying to force his 9950x3d to run at max boost the entire time in tc2 some days ago lol

[sudden flame]

2009

[frigid blade]

What a waste of power

[cosmic stratus]

Static oc for the win

[tidal geyser]

literally why gaming/full performance mode or whatever its called in windows is slightly more responsive

[frigid blade]

Do you know how fast a cpu can boost?

Wdym get ready

[tulip sparrow]

I have personally used PS3 Media Server to stream out to DLNA based devices like my HTINAB in the living room and my mobile devices in the past

[cosmic stratus]

Its instant lmao

[hasty valley]

This guy doesn't get it.

[tulip sparrow]

I hgave also switch from PS3 to Universal media server in the past

[sudden flame]

Just search Jellyfin

[tulip sparrow]

You can easily taker a look at the code if need be

[cosmic stratus]

Figure of speech.

[tulip sparrow]

UMS is years older

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

[tulip sparrow]

and what I am use to using

[frigid blade]

Gotta get with the new years

Modernize

Don’t get stuck in the Bronze Age

[empty quartz]

@frigid blade do you think its morally ethical to bully children

[frigid blade]

Depends

[tulip sparrow]

IF it doesn't handle DLNA then I won't be able to use it on the living room 5.1 system

[empty quartz]

Ive been pondering this ever since a child stole my lighter and bear sprayed me

[frigid blade]

I talk a lot of shit to kids online when playing games lol

[tulip sparrow]

Since that is what that system relies on for "network" playback

The only proper thing to do after getting shit on by a 10 year old

xbox would ban you nowadays :(

[tulip sparrow]

I knpw PS3MS/UMS works perfectly for that setup as it is what I have sused to stream 8GB+ movie files with 5.1/7.1 audio over to the system

[frigid blade]

Looks like a switch

[empty quartz]

I play ps, xbox, wii u, and pc

[sudden flame]

I know that

[frigid blade]

So wdym how to use it

[main reef]

The Mac mini doesn’t look bad with the ram apocalypse

[robust trail]

are you trying tro build a big network?

[tulip sparrow]

Looks like DLNA on Jellyfin has issues

[frigid blade]

One cable comes from router, the rest go into other devices

[sudden flame]

No

[grizzled frost]

plug in power, plug in networking cables, done

[frigid blade]

Or if it’s l3 switch you might not need a router but you don’t get internet

[empty quartz]

You say that as if the m4 mac mini was bad value to begin with

[sudden flame]

It’s a lan controller as well

[main reef]

Yea it’s really good for $500

[tulip sparrow]

@sudden flame so yeah I will be sticking to what I KNOW works perfectly for my setup

[frigid blade]

The Mac Air was so well priced, like $750

[jaunty apex]

It's almost winter :<

I don't have time to find bismuth

[robust trail]

It is probably ewaste unless you want gigabit and PoE

[tulip sparrow]

I wonder if Jellyfin is just to new for people older setups which is why it isn't working

[frigid blade]

PoE is so nice to randomly have

I have a 24 port PoE+ switch

[empty quartz]

I love my macbook pro

[frigid blade]

I’ve never owned any Apple laptops or computers

[empty quartz]

M1 max 24 core gpu, 2tb ssd, 32gb ram

[frigid blade]

I like windows

They’re much cheaper too

[main reef]

Windows is shit

Swap to linux

[frigid blade]

Because

[grizzled frost]

me when i want to play a game with kernel anti cheat

[frigid blade]

I can get behind windows hate but if you’re just blindly hating then ur dumb

[main reef]

Ads AI bullshit Windows updates

[west kettle]

is rsr any good? i wanna play rdr2 at 1440p but only have a 1080p monitor

[empty quartz]

I hate windows because its mostly spaghetti code and shits the bed most of the time

[main reef]

No privacy

[frigid blade]

Then use a version that doesn’t have it

[grizzled frost]

that you can disable entirely

[main reef]

There’s a lot of bullshit honestly

[frigid blade]

You can disable basically all of the bloatware, or install a windows version that doesn’t have any

[jaunty apex]

Tech debt be massive

[main reef]

Windows 7 was the last good windows

[frigid blade]

lol ok

[grizzled frost]

sign of an uneducated take

[west kettle]

i would switch to linux but so many games still dont work

[frigid blade]

What you’ve said so far is a skill issue

[main reef]

Valve will make Linux good

[empty quartz]

Bad take

[grizzled frost]

in 3-5 years maybe

[jaunty apex]

Windows 10 was OK. Wasn't my favorite though.

[west kettle]

hopefully devs will start making it possible to game on linux soon

[frigid blade]

This is why I don’t get behind the general windows hate, all of them are bad skill issue takes

[west kettle]

i hate windows 11 so much but i can't play half of my games on linux

[empty quartz]

True

[grizzled frost]

like there are issues with windows, but like 90% of the hate is a skill issue

[jaunty apex]

How is it a skill issue that someone thinks 7 was better lol

[frigid blade]

No, read back they say windows sucks because of stuff you can easily remove

[empty quartz]

My hate started because a single bluescreen took out an entire windows install

[frigid blade]

Like the AI bullshit

[jaunty apex]

You can't really remove bad updates

[frigid blade]

You can disable those features, install a cleaner version, etc

[west kettle]

or how they just check boxes in your settings after updates

[frigid blade]

I’ve never ran into those issues because I run exclusively on IoT, which is not hard to do

What unsupported config?

[tidal geyser]

windows will somehow find a way to update

[left trellis]

Chat I have a 3080 PCB that someone claimed doesnt work, what should I do with it

[tidal geyser]

zen+ or 8th gen intel or better

[tidal kraken]

test it?

[frigid blade]

I’m talking about my desktop lol

[jaunty apex]

IoT Enterprise builds aren't meant for consumers

[left trellis]

No heatsink tho

[tidal geyser]

IoT is meant for IoT devices

[frigid blade]

You’re only missing the Microsoft store that the consumer would use by installing IoT (which can be installed)

[tidal kraken]

Then don't, get a heatsink. Afaik they are like 20$ and surely someone is selling one cuz they upgraded to a waterblock

[jaunty apex]

And you don't exactly acquire it directly from microsoft.com

[empty quartz]

@frigid blade rate the upgraded cooling system

[frigid blade]

I have a direct link to Microsoft for the download

[tidal geyser]

power it and check the voltages

[tidal kraken]

No heatsink tho

[tidal geyser]

first ofc check if 12v is shorted

[left trellis]

is that safe to do with no heatsink?

[tidal geyser]

should work for a few sec before it shuts itself off

[frigid blade]

What did it used to be? I never did upgrades for cooling on laptop

[tidal geyser]

slap a piece of metal on top of it

[tidal kraken]

Bad idea, the die may overheat before it shuts off. It's like a 500w card

[left trellis]

I got a 1660 ti ventus 2x heatsink

😭

[tidal geyser]

its not gonna fkn pull 500w on startup

[frigid blade]

If you’re only checking the voltage does it matter? It’s gonna idle

[tidal geyser]

use that

first check if 12v is shorted

meh check if the ohms are correct around the card

[tidal kraken]

Resistance testing requires the card to be off btw

[tidal geyser]

no shit aka what we can do without power

[left trellis]

so I needa buy a multimeter

[frigid blade]

You can use your tongue (I’m joking)

[tidal kraken]

yes

[tidal geyser]

how do you not have one

[left trellis]

Why would I have one 😭

[tidal kraken]

ur a nerd

[tidal geyser]

to check if the voltages in the wall are right

[frigid blade]

Cuz you’re troubleshooting a gpu

[tidal geyser]

that too

[frigid blade]

Most people who care to go far enough to check voltages usually have one already

[left trellis]

think I can steal one from my school

[frigid blade]

You can also just test it there

[tidal geyser]

its like 15$ for one

[tidal kraken]

broski they are cheap

[frigid blade]

Aliexpress they’re like $5, just takes forever to ship

[tidal geyser]

and it will last you your life

[tidal kraken]

Try me

[tidal geyser]

unless you send 200v trough it when testing ohms or something

[frigid blade]

I’m feining some Panda Express or something so bad rn

[frigid blade]

I had wingstop last time

I got 40% off Uber Eats that expires in a few days and I gotta use it

[tidal kraken]

I've had a Klein tools one for almost a decade now

[random junco]

i love wingstop

[tidal kraken]

Albeit it's 5x the cost

[ionic peak]

Sim

[random junco]

card

[ionic peak]

Pls need help

[tidal geyser]

no

[ionic peak]

My phone is dumb

[random junco]

then get a smartphone

[frigid blade]

Yah it’s so good, I ordered 25 boneless and the chicken sandwich for only $21.33 lasted me 3 days

[ionic peak]

Look at this mess

[random junco]

ha ha

[random junco]

3 days? i didnt know people stacked up on wingstop like this!

[random junco]

i just love the tenders tbh

[frigid blade]

I don’t stack I just needed to buy a lot to get the discount

[ionic peak]

Ye

[random junco]

fair enough, fair play

[frigid blade]

Uber Eats is only worth it when you get discounts

[left trellis]

Can I test running it w the 1660 ti heatsink b4 the multimeter arrives

[frigid blade]

To me at least, I’m just stingy like that

[random junco]

ive never ordered from uber eats but ive got a £10 uber credit

[frigid blade]

I cannot believe people were ordering hella food during that snow storm and not tipping on purpose

[random junco]

what the heck 💔

[left trellis]

evil

[frigid blade]

It was so bad I remember the Instagram reels

[random junco]

restart discord and re-group the servers (is what i would do)

and remove any mods

[frigid blade]

Maybe you invited someone

[random junco]

not surprised something like that had ended up on reels, lol

[frigid blade]

Bro I don’t see a difference at all, I think I might just be blind

[empty quartz]

Latest is stock

[random junco]

some "welcome" credit

[frigid blade]

Damn they don’t give those out here

[random junco]

muahaha

[frigid blade]

Maybe it’s less used in Europe? Gets people to sign up

[empty quartz]

Last photo was me holding a chunk of metal up to it to cool the cpu

[random junco]

potentially

[frigid blade]

Bro they overcharge so much tho im glad they started doing in store pricing promo in the app

[frigid blade]

I did that during a bios update with my hand but it got too hot

Board bricked

I totally forgot to install the cooler

I still don’t know why I used my hand as the cooler instead of grabbing it

I returned it to Amazon and said it came broken

[warm anvil]

Did not get the free laptop

[frigid blade]

I’ve been eyeing this up for a while

But I’m too broke to get it

[left trellis]

Ready to use?

[empty quartz]

I got a free laptop from work yesterday

[warm anvil]

gimme

[random junco]

what for? main pc?

[empty quartz]

No

[ionic peak]

👍 👍 👍

[frigid blade]

No just random shit if I go somewhere for a while, nice and portable

[random junco]

nice and 1000 dollars

[frigid blade]

You can buy a portable monitor and just plug into wall

[random junco]

closer to 2000 tbh lmao

[frigid blade]

Yah it’s not good value

[random junco]

what about a usb c portable monitor

with a power bank

[frigid blade]

But the actual value to me is the portability and the power in such a small size

[random junco]

insane power in that little thing

[frigid blade]

You can usually plug those directly into the mini pc for power + video

[warm anvil]

Pretty good deal no?

[frigid blade]

Eh

[random junco]

not at all

[warm anvil]

damn

[empty quartz]

No

[shadow condor]

Pc doesn’t post but it does power on and shows yellow dram light is this a problem with my cpu socket ?

[random junco]

look in ur motherboard manual

[pearl thunder]

Am i tripping or is it missing a pin

[shadow condor]

Idk 💀

Just got this motherboard today that’s how it arrived

[random junco]

this could be an issue

[next elbow]

There's no pin

[warm anvil]

probably meant to have all its pins last time i checked

[shadow condor]

💀 you’ve got to be kidding me

Alright thanks guys

[next elbow]

Next ticket
Mine

Every writer I've tried refuses to open most of my mom's documents made with an ancient ms word 2007 like the plague

[random junco]

[empty quartz]

@warm anvil ngl, you really wouldnt want this free laptop i got

[next elbow]

[warm anvil]

i just want something to take apart for practice

[next elbow]

She's on lubuntu

[random junco]

mums a baller

[next elbow]

I forced her to change

[random junco]

right

[empty quartz]

Its a 2020 macbook air (intel)

[random junco]

maybe it wouldve been for the best to leave people on windows if theyre used to it

[empty quartz]

Ngl

[next elbow]

She has no problems with linux
Our home laptop is on mint and she uses it like normal

[empty quartz]

I dont like ifixit tbh

[next elbow]

Bro it's win 7 wit a 2009 security patch

[random junco]

newer versions of windows exist yk

[empty quartz]

They over-blow how difficult it is to repair macbooks

[next elbow]

And her pc is ancient and she doesn't want to upgrade

[frigid blade]

MY LAPTOP IS HERE

[empty quartz]

Macbooks arent much harder to work on than most other laptops

[west kettle]

anyone know how to enable vsr in game? i've enabled it in the amd software but it still wont let me go past what the resolution im already at

[next elbow]

Won't even run win 10

[empty quartz]

Press alt & f4

[shadow condor]

I think it’s just glue not a missing pin

[next elbow]

That thing will explode if it does

[frigid blade]

Specs?

[empty quartz]

@next elbow try to sell me on switching to linux

[next elbow]

Intel pentium e5700 (core 2 duo era cpu)
2gb DDR3
No gpu
An SSD i made her buy

[random junco]

hell nah

2gb ddr3 is a crime

[frigid blade]

That’s not that bad the memory is the only issue

I had 4GB ddr3 on my laptop

It ran windows 11

[random junco]

i literally use a 2gb ddr3 stick as a keychain

[empty quartz]

And that e-waste cpu*

[next elbow]

You need to login to your ms account to use paint on win 11
PAINT

[mortal venture]

Since when?

[empty quartz]

Thats not a reason

[frigid blade]

No you don’t

You saw one post with it pop up

[random junco]

you can self-destruct your system

[next elbow]

I saw a post

[frigid blade]

Yah I know

[empty quartz]

Sudo rm -rf /

[next elbow]

Was that fake

[frigid blade]

Im not sure but I’ve never had that happen

It was probably clickbait

[mortal venture]

rmdir c:\System32 /s /q should work on windows

[empty quartz]

This is why i mainly use macos

[random junco]

does mac have terminals

[empty quartz]

Yes

[mortal venture]

Yes

[frigid blade]

Yes lol
