[azure topaz]

you are misinformed

core ultra replaced core i

[warm anvil]

Why

[naive temple]

im asking this cause im looking at a pc rn and it doesnt seem worth it

[azure topaz]

they do not coexist

[warm anvil]

His windows 11 debloat script works wonders

[azure topaz]

one is explicitly last generation

[tidal geyser]

now this is more like it

[naive temple]

so core ultra is the latest gen? not 14000 series?

[azure topaz]

yes

[naive temple]

i didnt know that

[fringe prairie]

im kinda surprised you havent installed cachyos on it yet

[rigid fjord]

to many fuck their pc up with it and needs to reinstall their windows, if you want to debloat, use atlas, it's at least well documented

[tidal geyser]

again selling in 2 weeks

or well whenever i get the screen for it

[azure topaz]

needs more buzzwords

[fringe prairie]

the laptop too? dang

[warm anvil]

Thats fair buyers don't want linux

[tidal geyser]

its not a done deal but like i did semi promise

[tidal geyser]

most important part

[warm anvil]

Phones on 1 percent cya gng

[naive temple]

and how does this one compare for example to the 7800x3d

[warm anvil]

Whats an npu?

[naive temple]

im swaying towards amd aswell

[dawn garden]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091HTG6DQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title here is the LINK to wht i bought earlier now that im home and not relegated to phone

[tidal geyser]

Neutering Parts of Us

[azure topaz]

x3d if you play games at 1440p and plan to get a geniunely good gpu

[naive temple]

i have a 3440x1440 monitor and i use my pc literally only for games

[dawn garden]

it arrives tomorrow and im excited to get ahold of a bajillion trillion zillion speed increase

[azure topaz]

x3d is much faster but only if your gpu can keep up

[frail sequoia]

looks cool but doesnt do the wallpaper part

[naive temple]

i had a 7600x/32gb/rtx 3060 12gb pc

[azure topaz]

if ur playing a game and already hit 100% gpu usage you dont need x3d

[naive temple]

which i sold a few days ago, im looking for a new one now

[dawn garden]

3440x1440? is that even 16:9?

[warm anvil]

Go to colours and background and change the opacity to max

[naive temple]

and yes as u can imagine the cpu gpu combo didnt work well

[azure topaz]

no

[frail sequoia]

alr ty, does it auto boot with the system?

[dawn garden]

ddid they not? i have a 5700 and 3060 12gb

[warm anvil]

You can enable that where you enable other things to auto boot

I made mine auto boot

[dawn garden]

and they seem to work great?

[azure topaz]

he plays games at 3440x1440

[warm anvil]

On Catchy in settings u can make stuff suroboot

[dawn garden]

ah its a thicc boi

[azure topaz]

why are you taking it as a personal attack on your system hes not even talking to you 😭

[naive temple]

the gpu is shit

[dawn garden]

..is it? ;-;

i cant afford to upgrade for another 18 mo

[naive temple]

i mean for my res, for 1080p its probably still good

[dawn garden]

oh right okay

[azure topaz]

if you are happy with your computer it just doesnt matter

[frail sequoia]

cant find it

[azure topaz]

i mean it gets tuah point where youre just lying to yourself

[dawn garden]

i mean i havent found any games i cant play

[azure topaz]

but you have a fine computer so

[dawn garden]

unless they are just ..not optimized?

[grizzled frost]

16 hours later, render still running

[warm anvil]

My old xbox is a 720p demon

[azure topaz]

do you have a slow computer or something

[grizzled frost]

only on step 4 of 11 at that

[dawn garden]

like the only game ive ever had crash was cities skylines 2

[grizzled frost]

cpu render, and 20k full quality 4k images

[dawn garden]

nad i dont think it was the gpu.. lol i think it tried to destroy my cpu tho...

[warm anvil]

In colors below ur main colour

[naive temple]

thats not even a demanding game

[azure topaz]

wahat cpu

[grizzled frost]

7800x3d

[hexed tapir]

Have you tried throwing cores and ram at the problem?

[azure topaz]

yes it is

[azure topaz]

lol fuckin loser

[dawn garden]

cities skylines 2 is notoriously demanding?

[azure topaz]

yes

[dawn garden]

what do u mean its not a demandng game

[grizzled frost]

my best dual socket CPU server is only like 120% the performance of the 7800x3d

[naive temple]

isnt that the city building sim

[warm anvil]

@tiktok_cars09 opacity at the bottom

[grizzled frost]

and that server has less ram than my desktop

[dawn garden]

yes?

[azure topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/blob-jelly-memes-stare-at-it-bob's-gif-8902687973428544154

[naive temple]

hows that demanding lol

[azure topaz]

everything is actually simulated

its more cpu heavy than anything

[dawn garden]

....idk? simulating an entire city i guess?

[frail sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/bob-confused-whar-thousand-yard-stare-gif-15486282906915863374

[dawn garden]

its really demanding on mid/low cpus

like say a ryzen 7 5700 ?

[azure topaz]

bleh

[warm anvil]

Bluh

[dawn garden]

aka what i have whcih is why it crashed my pc

[naive temple]

how long were u in the game before it crashed

[dawn garden]

about 45 minues

[naive temple]

and if it only crashed once id say ur fine

[dawn garden]

it takes about 45 minutes to build even a small city though?

[grizzled frost]

the step it’s on doesn’t work with GPU rendering at all unfortunately

[dawn garden]

once the traffic starts and or a disaster happens my computer cooks

its literally the ONLY game that does that

[naive temple]

try lowering the settings ig

[dawn garden]

doesnt help

[azure topaz]

idk emulating ps3 pretty hard

[dawn garden]

its not graphics thats the issue...

[naive temple]

i never had cpu issues, even before with my 5600

[dawn garden]

i mean that i have floppa

[azure topaz]

we got dumb and dumber here man

[dawn garden]

i dont emulate consoles cos im scared of big nintendo

[azure topaz]

they cant find me

[frail sequoia]

it no work

[naive temple]

https://tenor.com/view/no-brain-gif-8746761231207943870

[dawn garden]

i finally broke down and bought a switch 1 ....in like december of 2024

[hexed tapir]

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1906629-REG/amd_100_100001593wof_ryzen_threadripper_9980x_3_2.html only $5k for the CPU

[azure topaz]

i also dont play nintendo games so

[dawn garden]

now im so salty at nintendo i dont even want to play my switch games

[frail sequoia]

xenia manager doesnt work on linux i dont think 😭
i need to try and figure out how to get canary on arch 😭

[azure topaz]

L

rpcs3 is pretty shit so ive mostly began to play games on xenia now

[dawn garden]

i mean i can play gears of war on my pc and red dead too

i think ?

[azure topaz]

idk if gow 1 is on pc natively but red dead is now

[frail sequoia]

its gotten better over the years

[dawn garden]

u can stream it thru gamepass im fairly sure

[azure topaz]

no it has not trust me

been using it all week

not great man

if i click it with the wrong attitude itll freeze and i gotta restart it, often

[frail sequoia]

im installing nfs: mw 2005 redux v3.04 rn

[azure topaz]

same thing happens to my homie on a completely different platfoorm so i know its not just me tweakin

most games are alright but the ui makes me want to kms

[hexed tapir]

Kiss My Sister

[plush wren]

WHAT

[azure topaz]

no man

quit yearning in tc1 bro

[hexed tapir]

That's what kms stands for now

[dawn garden]

it obviously means kersplat my squid

splatoon D:

[formal sonnet]

There is nothing "obvious" about undefined acronyms. And there never will be.

[azure topaz]

i played 4 hours of red dead on rpcs3 for some reason then i got fed up and played it on xenia and oml it was so much better

legit 2x the fps and it looked better

[dawn garden]

it was me being a joke 🙁

[azure topaz]

worth resetting my progress

[plush wren]

Thought that was pretty obvious

[dawn garden]

howa bout this one

[azure topaz]

i am one in a krillion

[dawn garden]

weweidwiw!

[magic trout]

Just received my newest Toy 🥳

[dawn garden]

hint: eric

hello yes what is first pic ?

[frail sequoia]

@warm anvil it broken

[rigid fjord]

so you're letting everyone know you're a hillbilly?

[azure topaz]

im going to keeep it entirely real & maybe its just me but i see absolutely no fucking point for the pi for anything but industrial/production scenarios

[magic trout]

It's fun but yeah

[hexed tapir]

I'm a redneck American yeerrhaa

[azure topaz]

i just cant comprehend how its a consumer product for things like laptops and like genuinely prebuilt mini pcs

like that stupid keyboard one

[dawn garden]

i am a literal hillbilly

arkansans in the house 😭

[balmy tapir]

the raspberry pi?

[magic trout]

Worst part currently is that the documentation is shit and i need another board to flash the emmc

[azure topaz]

yeah

[dawn garden]

lordoftheeyes go to walmart

[balmy tapir]

its in laptops and mini pcs?!

[dawn garden]

buy a 200$ laptop

dl ur required stuff into a flash

flash ur actual pc

return laptop in box >_>

[warm anvil]

Uhhh

[azure topaz]

they made a pi laptop and another mini pc where its just a keyboard but a pi

[warm anvil]

I can give u my config and u can customize from there

[azure topaz]

and then theres a bunch of aftermarket pre assembled pi mini pc things

[balmy tapir]

interesting

[azure topaz]

i just dont get it man

[balmy tapir]

pis are neat and have their uses, idk if i would need one built into a keyboard lol

[azure topaz]

pis are pretty neat i just always thought they were kinda overpriced once they passed like, 35$

[hidden nymph]

*hmm

[tidal geyser]

noice i did get a few more FPSes

[buoyant bridge]

Low-key wouldn't hate this if it was USB C

[hexed tapir]

That's only 10 watts per port slow ass hell

[buoyant bridge]

and higher power too*

this replaces a full outlet btw

[hexed tapir]

Replace a 1800 watt outlet with 40 watt total of ports

[azure topaz]

its not even

thats whats pissing me off. its fucking max 25w

AUGGGHH

[hexed tapir]

Oh lmao

[formal sonnet]

Not even - each set of 2x ports share 5v @ 2.1amps - it's an awful deal for what these cost at MSRP.

[hexed tapir]

5v 4.2a total on the bottom I didn't read

[azure topaz]

yeah just say youre stupid buddy

frick you coopa

[hexed tapir]

Shhhh

Hey the real stupid people are the outlet maker

[hexed tapir]

I'm the smartest stupidest man Alive

[azure topaz]

floppiest floppa

[hexed tapir]

Isn't the stock apple charger 10w?

[buoyant bridge]

Lowe's manages to sell enough they're always out of stock of these

they've always got 3-4 empty cases of them on the shelves

[hexed tapir]

Oh gross apple had 5w ones

[azure topaz]

yeah for in case you need 4 usb ports in one location for no reason

[buoyant bridge]

drawers n shit probably

They'd cost less to add in a drawer than an actual outlet for a variety of reasons

[formal sonnet]

Yee same when we bought a 2-pack from Home Depot a few years ago.
https://www.homedepot.ca/product/leviton-decora-usb-charger-15a-receptacle-5-1a-type-a-type-c-2-pack-in-white/1001705979

[azure topaz]

what

[formal sonnet]

They didn't have this newer, better model at the time, otherwise I'd have spent the extra money.
https://www.homedepot.ca/product/leviton-decora-usb-receptacle-60w-6a-dual-type-c-c-power-delivery-15a-in-white/1001829074

[azure topaz]

hey wow that one is smart

[buoyant bridge]

the wire you can use for them and be up to code only costs $9 for 50ft

[hexed tapir]

His and hers shaver and electric toothbrush

[buoyant bridge]

The wire you need for full outlets is $75 for 50ft

[azure topaz]

how much do you need to wire a drawer

[buoyant bridge]

Also for a full outlet you need strain relief and a guide for those wires you wouldn't need it

[tidal geyser]

not bad at all

[buoyant bridge]

Like 3ft but once you factor in the strain relief and guide it costs like $230 more to add a full sized outlet

[unique aspen]

ima make my own OEM windows to install on my next pc

using dism

[formal sonnet]

I also simply cannot get over manufacturers thinking this type of marketing is necessary.

"No shit. It's an AC outlet. Why would it NOT be ideal for any room?"

[buoyant bridge]

Is it GFCI?

one of these rooms it's not always suitable for

[formal sonnet]

I mean, if that were a concern, they shouldn't say it's suitable for the kitchen then. 😉 I've seen too many a non-GFCI outlet installed (on non-GFCI circuits) way too close to sinks / water sources for my liking.

[tidal geyser]

in europe the world is GFCI

[buoyant bridge]

GFCI breakers are optional in the US

[tidal geyser]

yea

[buoyant bridge]

You just make your first outlet on a circuit be the GFCI

[obtuse yew]

Humored ai snatch and the overclock profile actually appears to be completely stable

[buoyant bridge]

trip the GFCI? Press the reset button on the outlet that's probably mounted above a counter or smth

[frail sequoia]

its laggy using protontricks and looks weird using wine

[buoyant bridge]

I've never seen a GFCI outlet installed where I'd have to bend over to get to it lol

[tidal geyser]

use cachy proton thing trough steam

[magic trout]

On today's episode of useless tech using useless tech i will be installing raspberry pi os on an intel optane ssd

[frail sequoia]

its a non-steam game tho

[formal sonnet]

For as large as UK AC plugs are, I really appreciate their safety features. Fused plugs, the ground prong makes contact before the hot / neutral plugs during insertion, the breaker boxes are way smaller than North American boxes, etc.

[tidal geyser]

aka add it as that

[tidal geyser]

i am amazed how lightning protection thing i forgot the name of and gfci stuff aint standard for all american circuits

[balmy tapir]

i had one of those blow up in my dorm room

[tidal geyser]

or well eh

[frail sequoia]

did that before and it still does this

[tidal geyser]

not for all but for the ones that need it

[buoyant bridge]

Then it still did it's job. It's job is make sure you can't die from power protected by it, if it blew up it did its job

[frail sequoia]

i am in scotland so i use the uk plugs and they are amazing

[tidal geyser]

try proton ge

or just proton experimental

[frail sequoia]

already did and its the same

[frail sequoia]

imma try this one

[balmy tapir]

it was when my roommate pushed the test button 😭 it started smoking

[buoyant bridge]

😭

[frail sequoia]

same thing as before

[tidal geyser]

fun

[buoyant bridge]

I've seen it before it happens on really old ones where the plastic has gotten brittle so not doubting it

[tidal geyser]

too old then probs

[hexed tapir]

This is $30!

[frail sequoia]

i cba going back to windows

[frail sequoia]

its only a 2005 game with mods

[tidal geyser]

only

mate its older than me

[rigid fjord]

socket still needs therapy

[frail sequoia]

its 4 years older than me

[tidal geyser]

gonna be fun checking this thing out

[warm anvil]

U ever get it?

[balmy tapir]

tbh wine/proton is probably better at running old windows programs than modern windows is

[frail sequoia]

had it for og xbox when i had one for a bit

[tidal geyser]

nah windows 11 is pretty decent

[warm anvil]

I meant cavasik 💔

[frail sequoia]

you sure?

[frail sequoia]

idk what cavasik is

i have the audio thingy majig

[hexed tapir]

GFCI is in bathrooms and garages if I recall right

[queen trout]

Anybody have experiences with silentware cases

[tidal geyser]

its a no name

[queen trout]

Has some nice specs tho

[tidal geyser]

probs just no fan control but ok airflow case

im fine with those cases

[rigid fjord]

looks like a 4000d af clone

[hexed tapir]

Made by a "sticker factory" they buy and place their company brand on it

[buoyant bridge]

Air terminals and bonding have been required in the US for awhile idk what ya mean about lightning protection not being standard

those have both been standard as long as I've been in the trades

[balmy tapir]

lol

[warm anvil]

What a kind lad this random guy cares so much 🥰

[buoyant bridge]

Any and all wet locations have to be protected by GFCI, not every outlet needs to be GFCI but GFCI protection is required

[tidal geyser]

high voltage protection in the electrical closet

[balmy tapir]

i love high voltage

1200 volts is so fuzzy!

[buoyant bridge]

We have that it's called bonding + surge protected meters

[warm anvil]

Listening to peak

[warm anvil]

Yeah that's cavasik

[tidal geyser]

surge protectors was the namo

[queen trout]

Some of these silentware cases have like a max cpu cooler height of like 185 i think its not actually that tall

[buoyant bridge]

surge protected meters are installed on essentially all US homes nowadays

[frail sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-monkey-gif-17161736773310556283

[buoyant bridge]

And they protect the whole home unless you've got some stupid wiring setup

[tidal geyser]

wtf why is everyone getting a 2nd one

[buoyant bridge]

2nd one?

[tidal geyser]

yes one dedicated for their desktop external one

[buoyant bridge]

because most people don't know their meter is surge protected

[tidal geyser]

sad

[balmy tapir]

me when i don't have grounded outlets in my house

[buoyant bridge]

The electrical company put one in that's surge protected unless you haven't had your power bill changed in 30+ years

[formal sonnet]

As others stated, they just resell generic cases they don't manufacturer.
Identical to the Silentware Core 100 - https://jaindigitalhub.com/product-details.php?p_id=6878a849c2826
Not identical, but extremely similar - https://www.alternate.de/Xilence/Flux-X916-ARGB-Tower-Gehäuse/html/product/100173932

[buoyant bridge]

Dosent matter nobody ever made a smart meter that isn't surge protected too and whenever you connect your electrical service (for the past 30ish years) they'll install a smart meter if a non smart meter is present

[hexed tapir]

Open up your drywall and run a copper wire to your fuse box and every outlet to get it grounded :p

[buoyant bridge]

And replacing your outlets with grounded ones is really easy if your home is newer than the 60s, take a multimeter and test the gang box to hot, if you get 120V you have a ground connection

[buoyant bridge]

You don't gotta do that on homes newer than like 1958

[balmy tapir]

my home is from the 20s 😭 i got glass fuses (i don't own, cheap housing while in uni lol)

[buoyant bridge]

Gang boxes have been grounded since 1958 and residential outlets share a ground pin with the body, even if your ground wire was tied into the box then cut preventing you from connecting it to the outlet, when you screw the outlet in it'll connect the ground (this is up to code for retrofits basically everywhere btw)

just test between the hot terminal and the body of the old outlet before doing that if get 120 or -120 you have ground too

[hexed tapir]

Oh you got the fire starter wiring

[balmy tapir]

95% chance my house is not up to code

[buoyant bridge]

no your house is up to code unless renovations have been done

[balmy tapir]

nice soft cloth insulation on my wires!

[hexed tapir]

Knob and tube I think it's called

[buoyant bridge]

Electrical and building code goes off the year the house was built in it the year it had its last documented renovation

[balmy tapir]

interesting

[buoyant bridge]

Knob n tube is older that's just regular single core wires

[frail sequoia]

noticed some of the sites there, sorry mods pls dont banish me

[warm anvil]

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3QVpdUh2KLuBcRGF2r0eHz?si=G4wxQagRRFqbIx5gJy5hHQ

[buoyant bridge]

Single Core doesn't require replacing the wire in the wall just adding a ground fun fact! As long as left undisturbed inside the walls it remains up to code on retrofits and renovations

[frail sequoia]

thats the 2 playlits i have (one is my gfs + mine)

[balmy tapir]

hmm

[warm anvil]

Can u DM me them?

[hexed tapir]

The light bulb socket looking ones?

[buoyant bridge]

rip u cus ur a renter thou

[buoyant bridge]

I see mf romex

[frail sequoia]

ones my liked and the other one is a bit of a priv one cause its me and my gfs, imma make a jumpstle one and i can dm u it tho

[balmy tapir]

yea similar looking

[warm anvil]

Yeah okay

[hexed tapir]

I heard people put coins in these to "fix" the fuse from going off

[balmy tapir]

oo good idea

(joke)

but got the main box and then multiple of these through the house/garage

[tidal geyser]

wow

[valid garden]

whats up guys

[buoyant bridge]

That's Romex (well NM-B) you do actually have ground wires in the sheeth lol

[warm anvil]

This is too smart of a conversation for me

[balmy tapir]

this is for the gas boiler/water heater. at least as far as i know the outlets through the house only have two wires running to them

i unscrews one wall plate and pulled it out and only saw two, idk if there is a ground wire hiding that i could just get a new outlet

but that would be nice lol

[balmy tapir]

lol idk what i'm doing either

i just live in an old ass home

[buoyant bridge]

If you have metal boxes it's tied to the box outside of it

otherwise they probably just cut it

[hexed tapir]

Reinsert ssd

[tidal geyser]

that too

[livid saffron]

7 7800x3:

I just built it but now I’m trying to install windows on it

[livid saffron]

Did it like couple of times only gets into bios but then doesn’t wanna see my ssd and my usb with windows on it

[tidal geyser]

it cant see the disk in the bootloader

how did you install windows to the usb stick?

[livid saffron]

The media installer thing on miscosft website I did all the steps

Ik the ssd works it was for my old pc for games

[tidal geyser]

is the usb stick plugged in before you turn on the PC?

[livid saffron]

But now I want it as my operating

[livid saffron]

Yea

[tidal geyser]

tis now midnight for me but go to https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1027757333117415424 and you should maybe get help

[sharp lance]

Bout time for a replacment?

Nothing rubbing against it

[warm anvil]

Pro tip: dont do that

Yeah

Its no good for it ik but its failing anyway

#development is the best place for questions related to, well, development. Just ensure you ask a question with actual merit (include details) so that people can gauge if they're able to help with your situation. 🙂

[cloud sparrow]

I din't think that was the right channel
Thx

[serene pumice]

in Sweden Tesla has Diesel powered charging stations

[mint umbra]

well ima keep my linux install i just try to learn it slowly overtime

In canada we are investing like 2B$ on new charging stations hope they are more than just tesla chargers

[grizzled frost]

afaik you can use tesla superchargers even if you don’t have a tesla, just need an adapter

[serene pumice]

To be fair, it's because Tesla don't have a choice, all Swedens workers Unions have a strike against Tesla so they can't get their charging stations connected to the power grid by the Electricians

[mint umbra]

I just dont want us to invest into an american company that wants to invade us lmao

[cold skiff]

I thought you lived in the 51st state of America

[mint umbra]

not funny

[serene pumice]

electricians don't repair Tesla charging stations, garbage collectors dont pick up garbage at tesla, their cars is not allowed to be loaded/unloaded at Swedish harbors etc.

[hidden nymph]

i have gfci installed in my entire apartment

every. single. outlet is gfci

[dusk patio]

why?

that's so unnecessary lol

[serene pumice]

Only ~7% of Electric Vehicles sold in Sweden 2025 was Tesla

[cold skiff]

It would probably drive like shite in your climate

[hidden nymph]

they arent expensive lol

like relatively cheap per outlet

[mint umbra]

evs arent that popular in canada overall pretty sure

theres like maybe 500k

in total

[cold skiff]

Google says 1mil+

[mint umbra]

that includes hybrids pretty sure

[cold skiff]

CER says 720k

[mint umbra]

on wikipida said like 600k

[cold skiff]

Was that via chatgpt?

[eternal cloak]

Transports Canada reports roughly 1,000,000

[mint umbra]

thats including hybrids tho pretty sure

not full eletric

[eternal cloak]

Ah yeah, you're right

291,000 PHEVs, the rest is fully electric

So yeah, 720k is about right

[mint umbra]

still 700k out of like 28 million registered vehicles aint much

[eternal cloak]

Ye, my country only has around 550,000 as well

[mint umbra]

and sell about 200k per year out of the like 1.5 milion in cars sales in the year

[eternal cloak]

That's not too bad

[mint umbra]

feel like alot of ppl dont buy them cuz of the winter

winter evs prob suck

loses like 40% of its range

prob only like like 250km or so on a tesla

[dusk patio]

here in Quebec they're relatively popular

but that's also because we have such affordable electricity

[dusk patio]

highly depends on the model too

some lose way more range than others in cold weather

but if you're doing mostly city driving it shouldn't matter anyways

[worn tinsel]

i thought the screwdriver was over hyped, mine arrived earlier today and omfg i was so wrong

it's such a good feeling screwdriver

[bold olive]

id use the motherboard's audio driver (e.g. realtek)

[plain cypress]

It's just a well made tool

And I think a lot of people buying the screwdriver, myself included, have only had the home Depot or harbor freight special

[worn tinsel]

i've used snap on tools forever

since i worked with them and the snap on man always came round in his van

[oblique jay]

How do I make sure that it is using that?

[plain cypress]

That's how they get you

[oblique jay]

Idk what else it would be using

Just got my hd650s plugged in that's it

[worn tinsel]

man i stfg i've spent thousands with the snap on man

[bold olive]

plugged into where

hold on lemmie dualboot to windows

[oblique jay]

Mobo at the moment

[bold olive]

the hell

enter here

[oblique jay]

Idrk how to explain the buzz, the pc will freeze and audio just cuts out and buzzes loudly

[bold olive]

well that doesnt help much

uhhhhhhhhhh

[oblique jay]

Those r the rest of options

[bold olive]

is it plugged via aux or usb

[oblique jay]

aux

[bold olive]

enter audio processing objects

[oblique jay]

Dont see it

[bold olive]

ok head to sound, video and game controllers, select the speaker/headset that you have the buzzing noise on, right click -> properties

[crimson cairn]

let me delete this dumb app bro, file explorer is good enough for me

[bold olive]

i think bro wants linux

[crimson cairn]

every day windows is pushing me closer and closer to the edge of a cliff.

Forcing me to eat all this AI garbage and one day the cliff will fall into a world of linux

[oblique jay]

Honestly Idek which one it is. Windows doesnt make it clear

Doesnt say what headphones they are

[bold olive]

follow this name

[oblique jay]

Yep

[bold olive]

just to confirm

driver - update driver

[oblique jay]

troubleshoot common sound problems - output devices

[mint umbra]

Having issues with setting up secure boot on catchy os

[oblique jay]

Nothing, the beep plays then it asks me to try reproduce the issue

But its just something that happens randomly, not commonly either but had it a couple times.

[mint umbra]

Was following steps on wiki but still getting error when secure boot is enabled

[bold olive]

oh

id reinstall the driver

but i dont think high definition audio device can be clean reinstalled

does your motherboard come with realtek audio when you got it?

[oblique jay]

Regardless of it it being in the mobo, I was thinking of getting an audio interface for producing but theres mixed opinions on them so not sure if its even worth it 😂

[oblique jay]

I think so, cant remember

[bold olive]

motherboard name, ima check for ya

[oblique jay]

msi pro b760m-a wifi ddr4

[bold olive]

legit me gambling on which motherboard do you have

you seem so cool to have an msi ultrawide so i guessed this

[oblique jay]

😂 the mobo was an old purchase ngl

non-intentional

[bold olive]

download realtek audio control from the microsoft store

and get the realtek drivers installed from msi center

[frail sequoia]

Bruh it was 3 screenshots ffs

[oblique jay]

I dont directly see audio control on ms store

[frail sequoia]

Temp charging and pc setup

Imma go sleep now and I put my mattress back in the floor

[bold olive]

https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9P2B8MCSVPLN

might be privated from the homepage ig

[bold olive]

why do you have a type g socket powerbar with no switch

[crimson cairn]

command prompt wont let me delete it

[bold olive]

well yeah windows is windows

[crimson cairn]

lets try powershell

[oblique jay]

anything but work

[bold olive]

its supposed to send you to a webpage

how-

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B760M-A-WIFI-DDR4/support#utility
your motherboard, scroll all the way down and see 'realtek audio control'

[oblique jay]

Ok I missed the button at the bottom right corner just saying show in store

So got that now 😂

[bold olive]

bruh

[bold olive]

ignore

[mint umbra]

Can I change paste key bind to crl + V instead of shift+ crl+V

[bold olive]

why does my realtek audio control have a big gigabyte logo on it

is gigabyte being proud or what 😭

[oblique jay]

Dont think my realtek loads

[bold olive]

gasp

[oblique jay]

If it wants to do anything....

[bold olive]

did you download your realtek driver from msi center

[oblique jay]

yes i didnt

[bold olive]

install it

[oblique jay]

Where do I find it in there? lol

[hidden hill]

i was told sometimes the ryzen 9800x3d is configured wrong and you have to use the ryzen master program to improve it? how would i check if its using the correct configuration

[bold olive]

i dont own an msi motherboard 😭

at best its for my msi gpu

[bold olive]

support -> live update

[hidden hill]

does anything look wrong here?

[bold olive]

how do you not have intel chipset drivers 😭

install all of the drivers as you wish or install the realtek hd universal drivers, which is one step closer to solve your audio problem

[oblique jay]

[gritty panther]

I have a 9950x3d so I make sure chipset drivers are always updated

I dont really see it mess up with scheduling anymore

[bold olive]

just install the realtek drivers

[oblique jay]

Honestly I used to be on top of everything

[bold olive]

for now

[oblique jay]

Everything is installed already now

[oblique jay]

This is just how I feel lmfao

Alright those are all installed, just restarted as well

[gritty panther]

ya'll made me update lol

[hidden hill]

same lmao

[bold olive]

YES

(I also updated mine 10 minutes ago)

while i was helping this dude

[hidden hill]

i forgot to check my driverhub lol

its been like 5 months

[oblique jay]

Im not very organised anymore... Lol.. Since I started producing I just focus on working, never really checking my drivers anymore

And usually just end up living with all the problems

[bold olive]

i only check my drivers on a monthly basis

[bold olive]

good-

[bold olive]

g-

[oblique jay]

I take it that's everything? Until I do, or don't get a problem again

[bold olive]

i only install some of the drivers

bruh

[bold olive]

hopefully not

cuz of my guidance 4 ppl incl me updated their drivers

[hidden hill]

did anyone else have to mess with ccd stuff on their 9800x3d btw

[gritty panther]

no. you only do it with 9950x3d

[hidden hill]

trying to make world of warcraft run better because the addons keep hogging my cpu

[hidden hill]

ah i see

[gritty panther]

9800x3d only has 1 CCD

[hidden hill]

ty!

[bold olive]

how is your chipset driver so far behind

[hidden hill]

forgor

[gritty panther]

yea it should be december

I just updated lol. important for 9950x3d

[bold olive]

very

[hidden hill]

wonder if this will make my computer run better

[bold olive]

my core i5 7600 doesnt matter

[bold olive]

smoother prehaps

[hidden hill]

less stuttering? would be nice

[bold olive]

maybe they patched stability issues in a new driver

[bold olive]

its am5

[grizzled frost]

core i5 7600, but on an AMD socket

[oblique jay]

@bold oliveAppreciate the help 👌

[bold olive]

yw

[grizzled frost]

do you mean the ryzen 5 7600?

[oblique jay]

Hopefully all is good now lol.. Will try to keep ontop of shit

[bold olive]

overly ironic

uh

how do i change my cpu name

[grizzled frost]

grab a sharpie and write on the IHS

[bold olive]

hope it also displays in task manager

[hollow grail]

i need to rename my ryzen 5 7600x to a ryzen 4070

[grizzled frost]

ryzen core ultra 4070xt for peak performance

[gritty panther]

my Core Ultra Ryzen 9 9950X3D AI

[bold olive]

my ryzen ultra 9 285kx3d ai

[hidden hill]

can yall think of any other things i could do to try to improve cpu bound performance

crazy how wow is so cpu intensive

[hollow grail]

Nvidia epyc b850

[gritty panther]

if you already have a 9800x3d. you can't really improve much on that lol

[hidden hill]

yeahhh, i guess it would just be on the addon developers to fix their addons at that point

because thats whats causing the issue mainly

[gritty panther]

it's probably the game's fault. the optimization is trash

[hidden hill]

that too, but rn the addons are the main cause due to them having bugs or being out of date

they did some big ui changes recently in wow and it broke a lot of stuff

[gritty panther]

if you have a 9800x3d and still having performance issues, imagine people with much lesser cpu's.

game must be optimized like shit

[hidden hill]

🥲

[halcyon fox]

Pwetty

[glossy veldt]

boys I've got a bd pro issue

[hidden hill]

what is this? looks awesome

[glossy veldt]

i3 2328m laptop (national brand, Positivo BGH C-500) from i think 2012

has no battery and is running off of a power brick

[halcyon fox]

Heavily modded Minecraft

My computer wants to die

[hidden hill]

damn! thats crazy lol

[halcyon fox]

The base mod pack of it all is Conquest Reforged

But i did add some on top of that

[clear oasis]

Is hackintosh dead?

[ionic atlas]

mostly since the M chips in the traditional sense yes.

mostly wasn't about people not affording macs, people wasn't willing to pay for bad hardware

[sleek ibex]

I haven't seen anyone hackintosh in at least a decade

[clear oasis]

i have a coffeelake laptop thats just kinda stink, and i wanted to refresh life into it and use it even if just for a little for fun lol

[ionic atlas]

I'm still in the community just for macOS talks etc. but hackintoshing? nah.

[grizzled frost]

you don’t get most of the benefits of mac from hackintosh

[clear oasis]

well the goal was (after like 10 hours of trying) xD have a laptop thats not windows, or linux to play around on for development purposes

[halcyon fox]

Enlighten me

[clear oasis]

so, one main issue is that

[grizzled frost]

M series silicon is incredibly efficient and has excellent audio/video handling

also the stability of known hardware for the OS

[halcyon fox]

Makes sense

[clear oasis]

for example like, airdrop doesnt natively work

[grizzled frost]

Airdrop from phone to laptop is so nice

[clear oasis]

yeah that just doesnt work at all lol

[grizzled frost]

also the auto switching from phone to laptop with airpods

[clear oasis]

uhh, a lot of the time you will rely on using a wifi dongle

or phone tethering

[grizzled frost]

if i’m watching a video on my phone, and play a video on my laptop, my airpods auto switch over

[halcyon fox]

I have the last most powerful Intel mbp and that struggles/gets quite hot with video editing and audio workflows

[halcyon fox]

Ah

[grizzled frost]

M series was when mac’s really got good

even M1 mac’s hold up really well

[halcyon fox]

I do like boot camp though

I only like macos for audio and video stuff

[grizzled frost]

M series Macs are unbeaten for audio/video

[halcyon fox]

Yes, but that's all I would use it for if that makes sense

[grizzled frost]

i work in theatrical lighting/sound and it’s all either dedicated theatrical hardware or mac’s

[halcyon fox]

They are freaking spendy

[grizzled frost]

from the lowest end theaters right up to the likes of broadway

all Macs

[halcyon fox]

Yep that sounds about right

It makes perfect sense

They have some of the best hardware and software combos

[clear oasis]

anyways was just for fun, ig its not viable

[grizzled frost]

hackintosh is really only good for toying around

it’s basically the worst of all worlds

[halcyon fox]

Mac Software and slow PC hardware

Plus instability

[grizzled frost]

Mhm

none of the benefits, all the downsides

[hidden hill]

i should have a game using all cores right?

this look right?

[formal sonnet]

You shouldn't be messing with CPU Affinity unless the program you're running has some kind of weird edge case that requires you do this to avoid it crashing.

[plain cypress]

Don't insult my college hackintosh like that 😭

[hidden hill]

ah i saw people say in world of warcraft assigning it to every core improves stability

so it doesnt stutter as much

[grizzled frost]

once you use a dedicated M series silicon mac no mac dupe will compare

[hidden hill]

its cpu priority was on low though so i swapped it to high

hope that helps it

[plain cypress]

I briefly updated my hackintosh from high Sierra to Mojave in 2020. Lost use of the Nvidia GPU; the iGPU couldn't do 1440p60 💀

[valid garden]

mac isnt a good development platform unless you want to make iOS apps

[grizzled frost]

it’s great for developing mac apps

[plain cypress]

Actually the iGPU output capabilities may have been broken with macOS
Or like the mobo had some weird incompatibilities

[glossy veldt]

say, could sum1 lend me a hand on why my laptop throttles so bad it's not exceeding 5w (bd pro) when it should be doing 20+w

[valid garden]

its still weirdly hard to do so

[clear oasis]

have you ever got a hackintosh working?

[plain cypress]

Basically every web dev I've ever met uses a MacBook pro

[formal sonnet]

Yep, back in 2009 when OSX wasn't difficult to use.

[clear oasis]

ah

[valid garden]

bad thermal paste, bad cooling, bad fans (if they exist), really anything

I suggest checking these

[glossy veldt]

the thermal paste was dry, but i changed it and got maximum 70°c using roblox and throttlestop benchmark

[trim lark]

Hey I’m working on setting up some game servers but I’m having some trouble with port forwarding because my Internet provider is weird and I can’t figure out if I have a public IP address

[glossy veldt]

cooling and fans are ok

its an i3 2328m and has no battery

[valid garden]

unless you have something like a CGNAT such as T-Mobile home internet, you always have a public IP

[plain cypress]

True
Although comparing a 2015 core i5 to a the 2020 M1 is a little unfair

[glossy veldt]

i did notice the power brick was getting too hot but it has no label to check the amperage

[trim lark]

I have metronet fiber optic Internet and metronet was bought out by T-mobile

[glossy veldt]

temps are good why does it go into bd-pro???

it has other components that got hot but those had thermal pads and seemed fine enough

[trim lark]

So I did some looking and I will have to pay an extra $10 a month to get a static ip with my isp

[tranquil fossil]

Sorry for asking that stupid question but I just build my first "high end PC" and my nick picking is kicking in.
I have a 9 9950x paired with an rtx 5080, are temps of 65-70 when playing games like pubg and fornite aright for that CPU ?
I have an arctic freezer III pro 360

It just that I was forced to side mount it (with tubes coming from bellow) and it drives me insane

I also did a cinebench 2024 benchmark and scored 2390ish

[solar moat]

70C is fine and pleass say you did not get the 9950x just for gaming

[tranquil fossil]

No

I took it for my job + gaming, I'm a dev and it helps a lot with compiling our stuff

[solar moat]

send image of hwinfo64 summary

[tranquil fossil]

You want me to run summary-only or is there a summary even after Full mode ?

I have installed it but never ran it

[ashen hearth]

Can Valve sell the Machine without memories already ç_ç I'd just buy them somewhere else idc

[solar moat]

summary only just want to check few thingf

[solar moat]

i been seeing a fair few as of lake be bring you own ram/storage

[tranquil fossil]

That's what you want ?

(I have AI optimized turned on my asus motherboard)

Oh and also note that my current airflow setup is not the best but I will upgrade it, I'm waiting for fans to arrive.
I currently have the radiator on the side as an exhaust + three fans on bottom as intake + a single back exhaust, what I am planning to do is make the radiator an intake with push/pull configuration, keep bottom three as intake and add three exhaust on top

[solar moat]

ok so you slowed it down

[tranquil fossil]

fr ?

I just did this benchmark, I don't know if I like what I am seeing, I scored higher than a guy I found on reddit but my temps under load are a lot higher, his where 83 max with an air cooler

[solar moat]

dont enable all the auto bullshit in bios

[tranquil fossil]

I disabled it and ran it again

[tranquil fossil]

Got pretty much the same temps as the guy I found online, just 1 degree difference, he got 83.8

[vivid birch]

My blurry ash

[tranquil fossil]

It did make it perform better though, so why should I not use it ? Genuine question

[vivid birch]

Do i do anything before unscrewing this

[solar moat]

welp why is cpu over its thermal limits then

[tranquil fossil]

I thought about it too, its 95 right ?
Shouldn't my pc crash ?

[solar moat]

my advice dont use the auto oc it offen combo of unstable/unsafe/slower

[tranquil fossil]

aright

[glacial crypt]

Won't hurt to unplug the CPU fan

[empty quartz]

Gtx in 2026

[distant steeple]

soem gtx cards can be okay

like a 1660 ti or smth

iirc some 16xx cards had smaller pcbs like that

[empty quartz]

Not usable for me

[glacial crypt]

Nothing wrong with that lol

[empty quartz]

10 series was dropped back in october... you say that as if 16 series isnt next

[limber nacelle]

doubt it

[glacial crypt]

Drivers being dropped doesn't ruin the cards over night big guy

[limber nacelle]

they'll probably drop it the same time they drop 20 & 30 series

i mean, cause 16 series is literally turing

[distant steeple]

16xx has the same underlying architecture as 20xx, just w/o rt cores iirc

[empty quartz]

does fuck up alot

[distant steeple]

not really? most games target slightly older graphics apis that the drivers would still work for

[glacial crypt]

Not for a couple years

[empty quartz]

most games that were made quite a few years ago*

[glacial crypt]

And back to your original statement, no one cares if it's "not usable for me" my man

[distant steeple]

eventually you might run into issues where the drivers might not load due to having a too-new operating system, ex going from like win 7 to 10 where the drivers are not compatible for something

but you could always just run the older os or run linux

[glacial crypt]

"Oh no, Ace Attorney said he wouldn't use this, I better upgrade!" - new sentence

Like yeah I wouldn't use it in my main rig either, but that doesn't means he's unhappy

I was rocking a 765M (~650ti) in 2022 and managed to have some fun lol

You can have fun on intel hd 4400

Not to mention retro/semi-retro gaming

[frigid blade]

Real real real

I was messing with vanilla Minecraft on the i7-4600U

[limber nacelle]

☝️

[frigid blade]

can do 1080p60 medium settings stable

[glacial crypt]

fair analysis of my statement

[limber nacelle]

personalyl i would never by a radeon card cause it's basically useless for my needs, but i'm not going to tell people "ahhhh don't buy radeon" cause of it

[glacial crypt]

What are your needs?

[empty quartz]

Theres only one igpu ive used that is more useful in a fire than an igpu

Intel baytrail

[limber nacelle]

gpu acceleration for programs like marvelous designer, 3d rendering, etc

3d DCCs usually have dumpster-fire ish support for radeon cards

[glacial crypt]

What rendering? genuinely curious. AMDs rocm has made great strides and apps like davinci and blender have no problem on amd nowadays.

[distant steeple]

nioh 3, which launched today, has a 1060 in its min requirements, a 1660 ti will be fine for games launched even today provided they dont require RT, and even games that do some cards can get by with emulation layers (iirc through some wierd fuckery smth like a rx 580 was able to play indiana jones great circle on linux with modified drivers, and that game requires rt)

[limber nacelle]

i don't use blender

[glacial crypt]

What app?

[limber nacelle]

for rendering?

[glacial crypt]

yes

[limber nacelle]

i've used arnold for maya, vray for maya, redshift for maya, started using ue5 recenetly

[distant steeple]

rocm can be a bit hit or miss with certain things, i had a helluva time trying to train a LLM on my 9060 xt, ended up just using a student google account with free credits on a a100 server or something

[limber nacelle]

though admittedly, i try to stick to CPU for offline renders

[glacial crypt]

I've never touched any of those, wonder if one of the big workstation channels have used those on AMD

[empty quartz]

@limber nacelle wanna know smt funny

[glacial crypt]

rocm seems to only really work on linux from everything I can tell

[empty quartz]

My old iphone 7’s soc is faster is in every way when compared to my old laptop

[distant steeple]

im on linux 💀

[limber nacelle]

again i'm sure it's not that you couldn't, but the experience with nvidia cards is just.... infinitely better

pretty sure iRAY in substance painter doesn't work properly with radeon cards iirc

[glacial crypt]

fair enough I've never touched those so I wont comment

[empty quartz]

I can confirm

[glacial crypt]

What app were you using? I'm not implying user error at all just genuinely curious. rocm is in it's infancy after all.

[empty quartz]

And the encoders are awful on rdna 2

[glacial crypt]

The encoders on nvidia and amd have been funcionally the same for a long time. Minimal compression and basically no performance loss.

[empty quartz]

As someone who uses an rdna 2 card; they’re not even close

[sleek ibex]

[limber nacelle]

you'll just find overall very patchy support

[distant steeple]

pytorch, python, was getting errors related to not having the right files or pytorch-rocm not detecting where i have rocm installed, etc. also you have to tell pip to install a specific pytorch version with rocm support, regular pytorch doesnt have rocm support

[glacial crypt]

To be fair thats not AMDs fault necessarily, though of course that doesn't remove the issue

But if your using something like OBS theres no functional difference

[empty quartz]

Thats recording

Im talking about rendering and encoding video’s you’re editing

[glacial crypt]

Rendering is insanely vague

AMD does great in blender, but can have odds and ends missing in other apps

[empty quartz]

Have you never edited a video?

[glacial crypt]

I'm actually editing with resolve as we speak

[limber nacelle]

i mean... it's aight

pretty sure the 7900xtx only matches like, a 3090 with zluda

[glacial crypt]

I've used resolve on a wide variety of hardware and AMD has given me very little trouble, no more than nvidia

[empty quartz]

Then you should you know you have to pre-render

[tranquil wharf]

"for a long time" is definitely incorrect, but the quality of encoders did get a massive boost with rdna 4

[empty quartz]

Rdna 2 has left such a foul taste in my mouth, that i’d rather get a 5060

[distant steeple]

rdna 4 on amd in general seems to be where theyve nearly caught up to nvidia with like upscaling, rt, etc.

[tranquil wharf]

at the cost of not having high end models

[buoyant bridge]

That is a huge waste of money 😭

[limber nacelle]

oh hmmmm... blender opendata removed a lot of the zluda results

[buoyant bridge]

yes they are??? GFCI outlets are like $14 a peice, regular outlets are like $1-3

[empty quartz]

i'd take gfci over dying because of a spilt drink

[hidden nymph]

its nothing in the grand scheme of things

[buoyant bridge]

You don't need EVERY outlet to be GFCI to GFCI protect every outlet

[glacial crypt]

Yeah I'm loving my 9070XT. Older generations can be somewhat hit or miss but 90% issues are solvable. Besides, it's not like nvidia is immune to bugs either.

[distant steeple]

iirc its as long as theres a gfci downstream of the outlet on the circut its protected

[empty quartz]

in something like my travel trailer, i'd take gfci on every port

[solar moat]

where i live its its own thing in the braker pannel

[buoyant bridge]

you just need to have a GFCI as the first outlet on a circuit or a GFCI breaker to have ALL of your outlets be GFCI protected, if all your outlets are GFCI it's actually against code

[buoyant bridge]

If every outlet is a GFCI it's likely to fail at a fault except for the first one in the circuit actually

[distant steeple]

yeah ive had no issues with my 9060 xt, mainly use linux which is why i went for amd, otherwise id probably would have considered like a b580 or smth. i just know amd will just work, not sure how well new intel cards handle linux

[hidden nymph]

its not against code at all?? ur js pulling shit out of ur mind

lmfao

[buoyant bridge]

It literally is because triple GFCI causes GFCI failures

[empty quartz]

its perfectly fine if its actually wired up correctly

[hidden nymph]

iirc theres not even more than 2 outlets per circuit in this apartment

[bold olive]

rcd to protect my entire house rather than paying individual sockets with gfci

[buoyant bridge]

It's literally against code in my area because of how likely it is to cause a GFCI failure if they're wired down stream

[bold olive]

yay

[glacial crypt]

The new intel cards are great for linux. Linus Torvalds himself uses a b580.

[buoyant bridge]

you only need a handful of GFCI outlets or GFCI breakers to protect the whole house

[distant steeple]

i know, kinda glad i went with the 9060 xt anyways cuz i end up using >12gb of vram

[bold olive]

and route all of the breakers to the gfcis?

[glacial crypt]

yeah the 9060xt is def the better card

[buoyant bridge]

like my massive 5 bedroom farm house is fully GFCI protected. On the retro fitted circuits it's using a single GFCI with everything else downstream of them, on the new wired ones it's using GFCI breakers, I only have 16 GFCI outlets and 12 GFCI breakers on a 300A panel

[buoyant bridge]

GFCI breakers have the GFCI built in

GFCI outlets have a line/load
line = in
load = out (protected by the single GFCI outlet)

[bold olive]

i thought it only goes onto a socket?

[hidden nymph]

we are talking about a 1 bedroom apartment where there is fewer than maybe 5 outlets, every single one of them being a gfci is recommended by code in my area

so uhhh idk what ur on abt

[buoyant bridge]

You can get GFCI breakers for new panels

[buoyant bridge]

It's recommended they're protected by GFCI probably, not that every outlet is a GFCI

[hidden nymph]

theyre on seperate circuits

so yeahhh

[buoyant bridge]

you do not have each outlet on separate circuits 😭

I actually find that impossible to believe

[hidden nymph]

yes i do?? outlet in the kitchen, outlet in the bathroom, and outlet in the bedroom lmfao

and they each all of their own circuits in the breaker panel

[buoyant bridge]

If you had every outlet on a separate circuit you'd only be able to have like 10 outlets (not including lighting or 240V)

Heck even on a large 300A panel like I have you'd still be limited to 42

[hidden nymph]

huh its almost like u js ignored my previous sentence where i js said this thing has 5 receptacles max

[buoyant bridge]

I still find that impossible to believe because you'd have insanely expensive wiring costs to whoever built that

[distant steeple]

soem rooms might have outlets on seperate circuts, you probably dont want a har dryer, microwave, and gaming pc on the same circut, so bathroom, kitchen would have ones seperate from like a bedroom or whatever

1. Yeah it's common for dedicated circuits to exist.
2. He said EVERY outlet is dedicated

[hidden nymph]

yes bc theres like one per room

💀

[buoyant bridge]

that's terrifying if true😭

Though if actually true every outlet being GFCI makes sense

[hidden nymph]

well its a small one bedroom apartment where only one person gonna be doing shit at once, so yes, it makes sense for the rooms to have their own outlet, u dont need a ton, the only non gfci dedicated is the fridge one, but that one is still protected

by the one next to the kitchen sink

[buoyant bridge]

though dedicated 120V circuits aren't very common, I've seen more tandem 120V circuits than dedicated ones

and most of the dedicated ones I've seen are ALSO tandem

both are very rare to see though. Tandem dedicated is kinda common on more expensive custom built homes because they'll use a over spec wire and a 2 gang box so if you wanted you can swap the outlet and breaker and have 240V

My garage was and still is like that for literally every outlet. 10ga wire for dedicated gangs with 4 outlets in each back to tandem breakers in the panel I could sorta easily replace with 240V breakers and outlets if I wanted to

[bold olive]

our country doesn't have gfci fyi, just rcd

[buoyant bridge]

Gotta use these horrifying things if I wanted to do that without rearranging the panel though

[buoyant bridge]

Horrifying

[distant steeple]

their the same thing, just called different things in different places

[buoyant bridge]

I thought rcd was different?

[distant steeple]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

"A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)....."

[buoyant bridge]

huh guess I learned smth

I always thought rcds had higher tolerances than gfcis

[distant steeple]

That would probably be a code/standards thing, iirc they detect the same sort of fault so their essentially the same thing

[buoyant bridge]

probably

[buoyant bridge]

essentially these are a tandem breakers but for 240V/120V on the same breaker

the outer 2 terminals are L1/L2 120V or 240V the inner 2 terminals are 240V

[distant steeple]

https://youtu.be/ILBjnZq0n8s there's also this video from technology connections, I remember it being pretty good

[bold olive]

well gfci can apply in certain sections, but rcd covers the entire house

they both have the same purpose tho

[bold olive]

well your sockets are horrifying (assuming ur in north america)

[buoyant bridge]

they're just not idiot proofed

Japanese grounded outlets are actually horrifying

They work how US grounded outlets worked prior to the 1970s sorta

[bold olive]

I have twice the voltage-

[buoyant bridge]

except there's a dedicated slot for the screw in ground instead of relying on the cover screw

[buoyant bridge]

Hate to break it to you we have 2x your voltage in some places and use the same design just larger

[bold olive]

what's the voltage

[buoyant bridge]

480V

[distant steeple]

Why are NA outlets horrifying?

[bold olive]

compare to a type g socket

[bold olive]

frick im 40 volts short

[distant steeple]

We run on 240v too, it's just we only pull from half the transformer for each line (we have two) so we have 2 120v lines, and if you go between them instead of between 1 and neutral you get 240v

[buoyant bridge]

480V outlet lol

[buoyant bridge]

We have 120V, 240V, 277V, 360V, 480V, 360Y, and 480Y

[distant steeple]

Type g just looks like a nema 5-15 socket with a physical switch

[buoyant bridge]

The US electrical system has standardized outlets that carry more power than European homes have available and they're still the same basic design as US outlets

[buoyant bridge]

which I don't even get

if you want a switch you can just wire a light switch to a outlet in the US

Also the US has up to 3 phases so we can have wayyy more power at a single gang box via weird wiring standards even on residential panels

[bold olive]

it has a fuse and doors so infants won't kill themselves

go watch electroboom

[buoyant bridge]

why does a infant have something they can stick in a outlet

[distant steeple]

Yeah, I think all the outlets in my room are either light switch, gfci, or I have a powerstrip cuz their hard to reach (ex. The one behind my bed) which has a switch on it

[bold olive]

they can do whatever they want

[buoyant bridge]

And I hate to break it to you that fuse is still gonna let more current pass than a single standard residential outlet will in the US

[bold olive]

'ooh it's a button to get my candy'

[distant steeple]

We have these

[buoyant bridge]

you have to be pretty intentional to get electrocuted in a lethal way by US outlets anyways

[bold olive]

one direction of wind and it's gone

[buoyant bridge]

you need to cross the neutral and hot or hot and ground

[buoyant bridge]

no these stay in stupidly tight

I have to pry them off with a flathead screwdriver at work constantly

[bold olive]

im not an american so idk

[distant steeple]

Their wicked fucking tight, oftentimes needs to be pried off with a screwdriver or something

[bold olive]

this

[buoyant bridge]

and again even it you stick a fork in a outlet if wouldn't kill you or an infant

you'd have to bend the fork a specific way to do so

[bold olive]

it's just a shock, i was emphasizing

[buoyant bridge]

120V actually obeys the laws of electricity unlike 240V and up

[balmy tapir]

how does HV break the laws?!

[bold olive]

ur saying america is better than europe now?

[buoyant bridge]

if you touch the hot oh well it hurts and you don't do it again

[buoyant bridge]

the higher the voltage the less insulation is a rule the more it is a suggestion

[buoyant bridge]

you do realize we have outlets with the same basic design as our residential ones in common use that carry more power than European homes can access

[balmy tapir]

ah

[buoyant bridge]

and we can access up to 4400W at a single gang. On standard residential outlets

[distant steeple]

Most NA circuits are 120v 15a, which can draw 1800w in bursts, or 1500w continuously to be up to code iirc

[buoyant bridge]

1500, 2200, 3000, and 4400 are all wattages that are available at a single 120V gang via a nema 5-15/5-20 depending on wiring

you can wire the outlet in tandem for 2200W on 15A or 4400W on 20A

[buoyant bridge]

Nah newer homes (like 2000 and later) typically only use 15A for lighting circuits, 20A is the new standard

[balmy tapir]

i miss working with 405 amp cables (i do not those shits get so heavy 😭 )

[distant steeple]

My house is from like '73, most sockets are nema 5-15

[buoyant bridge]

this is why the US has so many voltages lol

higher voltage lower amp = thinner cable

[balmy tapir]

comes in all the flavors too, i used this for power hookups to buildings for concert lighting, id guess there is an industrial standard there that might be worldwide

[buoyant bridge]

my house is from the late 50s but it's got all 5-20s only had a few 5-15s when I bought it

[buoyant bridge]

if it's IEC it's international

if it's NEC/CEC/NEMA it's north America (and maybe Japan depending on who was in control of Japan at the time)

Idk the European regulators but there's various European ones too

[buoyant bridge]

oh also because US electrical standards are suggestions in the commercial space very often.. yeahhhh 480Y might be the STANDARDIZED LIMIT but we have 7000V shit for factories n stuff

[balmy tapir]

electricity is so fun. i work with alot of HV things now, but all extremely low currents

80kV go zap

[buoyant bridge]

highest I've been in the danger zone of was 765kv @ 350A

[balmy tapir]

😭 damn

[buoyant bridge]

cross facility transmission line, I've seen a few being buried.

[buoyant bridge]

pretty sure that's the highest voltage (but not wattage) lines used in the US

I know 600kv @ 3500A is very common in the US except texas

[distant steeple]

all I know is that the stuff that I get out of my wall is 120v and a nema 5-15 plug

[solar moat]

time for me to get 240V at 32A plugs

[analog widget]

if i have a pro key saved on my mobo i installed home (lowkey did not know) how should i switch it back to pro

[cold skiff]

There is no reason to say lowkey in that sentence

What is with this real weird way of trying to put buzzwords in everything these days

[analog widget]

that is just how i talk this is not a business or school so there is no need for me to not talk how i want to talk

[cold skiff]

Real bizarre way of talking

Also assuming you mean windows, it’s a clean reinstall

[swift moss]

ai?

look at them em dashes omddd

[valid garden]

🤑

[formal sonnet]

Em dashes aside... the responses alone scream Machine Learning.

[swift moss]

yeah yeah that's what stood out

i always look for the dashes after as I use them myself sometimes

HOWEVER, that is in word processing software, in messenger the only way to type an em dash is two dashes -- which end up split

or copy paste from ai 🤷

[solar moat]

i had to fix a overlocker 2 days ago it was stuck after sitting for 10 year

[swift moss]

valid

i don't want to waste my money on 8 completely fucked machines for 120 bucks

i just want that one half decent looking toyota for 50

idc if its broken i'll fix it but i dont want 100 kilos of junk just sitting in my room

i've got 3 in mind rn

[solar moat]

funny thing i dont know how to use most of the sewing machines i have been given to fix

[swift moss]

lol

[cold skiff]

Normally it’s foot on button, needle goes up and down.

[glacial cliff]

mfw i forgot that I own two $500 toothbrushes for my insurance claim.

there's another cool thousand dollars in damaged electronics, i'm totally maxing my claim limits lmfao

[cold skiff]

Tf ya need a 500 dollar toothbrush for

[glacial cliff]

i used to make mad money and was single and lived alone and my msot expensive hobby is pc stuff, so i had an extremely forgiving budget of "blow on useless crap"

[cold skiff]

That’s fair

[glacial cliff]

and this is one of the msot recommended toothbrushes according to my dentist and dental hygenist but msot ppl dont buy it because of the cost, so i bought it

[sleek ibex]

[glacial cliff]

then when i couldn't find it after a trip and thought i left it, i bought another

foudn the first the next time i moved

[cold skiff]

When I was single with extra money I just ate take away all the time, got drunk, did coke and generally wasted it on expensive items too

[glacial cliff]

i miss having a 6 figure take him income.

[solar moat]

welp it was not doing that now its doing that i call that a win

[cold skiff]

I do wish like you, I kept some expensive items

[glacial cliff]

i too spent an average of like $150 a day on food, and when i went out would blow $100 on alcohol (but don't go out much), and the strict adherence to rules bit of my autism makes the illegal drugs something i never engaged in (no judgement, just to affraid of consequences to do it myself)

[cold skiff]

oh yeah totally not advisable. The drinking alone when you have extra income and on your own is incredible

[sleek ibex]

Speaking of ASD, my executive function has collapsed

[glacial cliff]

throwback to that time i was visiting my girlfriend? idk wat we were. labels are confusing in queer poly spaces. anyways i forgot my computer's charger when i was goign to be with her for a week and it was like 5 horus from home. $1500 gaming laptop.

what'd i do?

i went to the navy exchange and bought a new $1800 gaming laptop so i wouldn't be bored over christmas

those were the days

[glacial cliff]

mooooooooood af

i've been forcing myself to use executive function do work on the insurance stuff bit by bit

[brave brook]

$150/day for food ? Do you eat at hgihend restaurants every day ?

[ivory olive]

Guys. Do you think this is a good build at 1.3k usd?
14900kf, 32gb ddr5 Hynix A die, Z790 tuf, rosewill 850w Psu, 2tb 990 pro. Pny 5070ti triple fan plus, Thermalright aqua elite v3. Idk the case yet but I have 100 usd for it.

[glacial cliff]

doordash w/ good tips 2 - 3 tiems a day, often from more expensive fancier places.

Having issues setting up secure boot on catchyos

Sadge

[sleek ibex]

The collapse was so bad, I was sent home early due to fears of showing burnout and now it's been discovered that both physical and mental health is down the shitter.... That's so much fun

[cold skiff]

Dayumn. I’d have just bought a charger

[glacial cliff]

wouldn't blink an eye at dropping 50 bucks for lunch at work, or 100 bucks for dinner delivered fro ma japanese steakhouse

heck there was a 2 week period i went to the japanese steakhouse for dinner every night

[mint umbra]

Seems when I follow steps on wiki it not working for me

[glacial cliff]

yay autistic comfort foods

[cold skiff]

Ask chatgpt damocles

[mint umbra]

I wish I had good Japanese food near me

[brave brook]

that would be like a 600-800 euros a month for me if i ordered 2 main meals a day from a restaurant here, but that would be crazy 😄

[glacial cliff]

finding the exact right charger without an electronics specialty store, and that I could use that day (not wait 2-3 days on shipping) would have been difficult

[mint umbra]

Only good Korean food near by

[sleek ibex]

And I called my healthcare provider to see which doctors support my plan and I will definitely be put on temporary guardianship and be put on disability

This is definitely the worst time for this to be happening too might I add

[mint umbra]

Does your work still pay you when off on disability

[cold skiff]

I mean… this took a dark turn bassbone

[glacial cliff]

i hope it all works out for you in the end ❤️ i know at this point going through it all sucks, but hopefully they are actualyl helpful and not just surface level helpful and you get to a better spot soon ❤️

[cold skiff]

Hopefully you feel better soon bud

[glacial cliff]

i took this screenshot but forgot to post it. slowly adding more and more stuff

[cold skiff]

Okay 8k on a pc?

That’s a 5090 build without a custom waterloop right there

[cold skiff]

Damn spending 8k on a 3080ti rig be crazy

[brave brook]

weird context - these guys opened a branch in my city, the only one in continental Europe 😄 https://guide.michelin.com/en/article/dining-out/周月 not my kind of food tho

[cold skiff]

Nice waterloop gonna go on

[glacial cliff]

to be fair, only 5k of it is the computer, and this was the height of the 30 series shortages from crypto mining

and like 1500 of that is watercooling

and a 500 case because i was feelign extra

[brave brook]

i always hated how much watercooling fittings cost, it's just stupid how much you spend on those

[glacial cliff]

trying to decide if i wanna try to claim the $1200 MO-RA in my closet
