[steel umbra]

damn you didn’t pick up the ragebaiting ace playing card

you’ve fallen off

[zealous shell]

Just curiosity

[steel umbra]

i win once again

i mean if you want a pc that lasts a bit longer and a lil better singlecore performance

[plain cypress]

Horst

[empty quartz]

Yeah

[steel umbra]

waste of time

pollution

[empty quartz]

Its funny because most of the staff were annoyed at how large he signed it

Still missing lienus and sarah butt

[steel umbra]

your masterpiece ruined by this

[empty quartz]

Its ruined by louis rossman

At least parker burton didnt sign it

[steel umbra]

also that’s an old corsair logo how old is the case?

[empty quartz]

I would’ve thrown the whole thing away if he did

[empty quartz]

Its a corsair 900d

[steel umbra]

a waste of metals

[supple finch]

sick!

[steel umbra]

very bad

[steel umbra]

wai- you have his signature

[empty quartz]

Yes

[steel umbra]

sell that piece of metal for $9999

[empty quartz]

Why would i sell my front panel

Even linus’s wife signed it

[steel umbra]

$19999

[empty quartz]

Dankpods signed it

[steel umbra]

$39999

[plain cypress]

Yes, we know Jake signed it

You said that previously

[steel umbra]

so you can make your own rotary valve car engine

[empty quartz]

Nah, ill trade it for a rusted out civic

[steel umbra]

there is this video about rotary valve engines

i actualy wonder why nobody major gave it a shot

in theory it’s the best engine (that can realistically go into a car) outperforming every other cylinder engine in mains

considering how overengineered some cylinders are i don’t see how hard it could in comparison to make a working rotary valve on combustion

[haughty eagle]

The power to weight is so comically high. I want one.

[balmy tapir]

okay but why rotate the valve when you can rotate a triangle

https://giphy.com/gifs/animation-mechanical-3oEdvbCyj7p2CGAuw8

peak tbh

[steel umbra]

nooooo

[haughty eagle]

Doritos consume oil

[balmy tapir]

womp womp

[steel umbra]

that gearbox won’t last long with those gear teeth

[haughty eagle]

The RevForce engine is 50kg and makes 220HP

[balmy tapir]

i mean those hold up pretty well, the point of failure is the seals on the edge of the rotor

still peak engine tbh

[haughty eagle]

You could call it... the apex of engine design

[rigid fjord]

i dunno, excel can get rather resource heavy

[balmy tapir]

excel can and will eat 64gb of ram and need more 😭

[rigid fjord]

you do realise it's been used in planes and mazda cars right?

[haughty eagle]

I think he means rotary valve, not wankel rotary.

[rigid fjord]

ah, well rotary valve still used on planes, specifically rc planes

[haughty eagle]

Not a real engine til someone puts one in a Miata

I volunteer as tribute

[rigid fjord]

considering they're a 4 stroke engine, it's totally possible

a little modification and you could turn a pushbike into a motorbike with one of these

[haughty eagle]

https://youtu.be/5czHDU6pK8E
2 stroke is king

[steel umbra]

yes but not in cars

i mean rotary vane engine without gears

like you see in pumps

nobody made a mainstream or even high budget prototype of gearless (aka most efficient) rotary vane engine for cars

outside of some local projects made by individuals which ofc don’t have millions worth of budget

to experiment with

[wise quarry]

Hello, I am looking to get a 32" 4k monitor for programming. I use a MBP as my display under. anyway I can get the colors to match better?

is that a VA panel vs IPS?

[crimson cairn]

if you want better colours i get a oled

but va and IPS are both leds meaning the blacks are not as good

if you are feeling ballsy buy a QDOLED or QOLED

[wise quarry]

i have an oled right now and it sucks for coding

[lost peak]

hey, im new n got a question: i want to jerryrig two tv main boards together, this is the first ive ever de aything like this even tho igfrew up with a dad that fixed computers for a living( he didnt teach me shit) what some advice yall got

[wise quarry]

the text is really unclear

[formal sonnet]

i want to jerryrig two tv main boards together
How? Why? For what purpose? What exactly will this achieve? What problem is this trying to solve?

[lost peak]

curiosiry, expermientation, wating to learn how circuit boards work an dif i can just do anything my brain decide yeah maybe lets do that

[crimson cairn]

so i can have 2 cpus

[formal sonnet]

That's... not how that works. 🤔

[lost peak]

also only one screen works, so i was thinking can i stick this superior tcl main board into this shitty ass vizo tv that doesnt work

[formal sonnet]

Good initiative, but one cannot "jerryrig" 2 circuit boards (TV or otherwise) together unless they're designed to do so. For example, one can't just "join 2 laptop motherboards together with wires" to achieve the power of 2 computers.

[crimson cairn]

mathematics

[lost peak]

can never say never

[crimson cairn]

do you have a PHD in elec E?

[lost peak]

gotta phd in youtube and reddit 'how to do x' searching and a 'why not'

[crimson cairn]

good luck bro

[lost peak]

thanks man

[crimson cairn]

your gonna need it

[clear canyon]

wankle engines are dope

brt brt brt brt

[lost peak]

i mean, how reaaaally hard would it be tryin to switch out one faulty vizio power connector thingy majig to with the tcl power cable attached to the board

i may have accidentally destroyed the tcl lcd when i cracked it oppen, i mean, it alreayd had a giant hole in the screen even if it did turn on but!! that tells me the main board is in perfect shape AND it turned on. which is more i can say about the vizio

[steel umbra]

i’ve recently noticed that aliexpress erases one or two star reviews faster than five star reviews is it just me?

all of my old negative reviews are gone

[stable beacon]

my editing software is catching up to my cpu now but idk if i could even upgrade to am5 now

[steel umbra]

despite the listings still being up

idk i find it suspicious but might be just a fluke

[tranquil wharf]

well there's always 5950X if CPU is the main issue

[clear canyon]

or the 5900x, both killer cpus still for workstation use

[stable beacon]

i'm not sure what the utilization is with my program but this thing ramped up my fans and froze while zooming in 💀💀💀

[clear canyon]

just check task manager, but normally if ur system gets louder its the cpu

[stable beacon]

yeah i tabbed out and it still froze despite not being on screen

[clear canyon]

if ur cpu is maxed, just give it a bit

let it load

[stable beacon]

anyone remember when i fucked up my cpu or something and it posted really slow so i had to reset

well it's STILL slow now

[clear canyon]

what is it boosting to

@stable beacon

[stable beacon]

4600 1.30625

[clear canyon]

4.6ghz?

[stable beacon]

yeah

[clear canyon]

what temp does it run at during heavy loads

[stable beacon]

i haven't looked into that yet since i'm trying to fix the slow post/boot

but i think 80 max i've gotten it to 89 on a stress test once but that's it might've been bad paste which i repasted like 2 weeks ago

cmos clear and still the same problem

i haven't tested it on my other am4 board but the cpu i took from that works just fine

[clear canyon]

is ur motherboard getting hot?

[stable beacon]

shit i forgot to check that in bios

but i doubt its above 30c

so far the culprit seems to be my cpu

i'm pretty sure it's out of warranty too

i got mine in august 2022...

[robust trail]

You locked up in that application? Has it happened multiple times?

You are running Windows. That's almost always the weakest link.

I would get back into the OS, give that application another go and if it burps again... check the reliability history.

[stable beacon]

i didn't bother timing it but it sure felt like an hdd booting

[robust trail]

Windows has some jenk ass logs but they can help you get within a mile or two of the actual problem.

[stable beacon]

probably took 2 minutes to load

[robust trail]

It may be a good idea to check the health of your drive

It is not unheard of to see a drive go shits up out of nowhere 🙁

[stable beacon]

i doubt it since i already tested it 2 weeks ago without any drives to see if it would post, i took my other 5800x and it sped up considerably

[robust trail]

Checked the drive?

[stable beacon]

darktable is originally a linux program so

[robust trail]

That doesn't matter, Windows likes to vomit and has very little circle of neckbeards checking it for vomits

all the vomits

[stable beacon]

i removed ALL drives and a visible post screen is slow to happen, i doubt it's the gpu because it wouldn't show the pre-boot logo and it interacts normally except with that long pausr

[robust trail]

When you pull a device the memory training data gets cleared

Memory training always takes a while to happen

[stable beacon]

fast boot?

[robust trail]

Fast boot isn't fast the first time, your CPU has to train with memory and that is a process

[stable beacon]

as i said i CPU swapped and it posted totally normal

[robust trail]

it can take a minute or two, longer in the newer versions of ryzen

[stable beacon]

this happened 2 weeks ago

[robust trail]

It is extremely unlikely to be the CPU.

Rerun the application and replicate the issue. If it doesn't return it was a burp.

[stable beacon]

i don't want to go out and do comprehensive testing again especially since the test cpu belongs in my sister's pc which i can't even steal right now even if i wanted to

[stable beacon]

its not the application.

im talking about SYSTEM BOOTING

which is why i mentioned ZERO DRIVES

[robust trail]

The original complaint was an application freezing

Sorry, I guess I missed that it was resolved.

[stable beacon]

its just slow. it works fine though

[robust trail]

BIOS up to date?

docker compose down && ./build_service.sh && ./start_service.sh

[stable beacon]

it makes sense seeing as i'm zooming in and i'm not looking at an image, i'm looking at a copy of a raw file which is technically just a camera sensor log, with various algorithms applied

[stable beacon]

whats that

[robust trail]

No GPU acceleration for that application? darn

[stable beacon]

this is from the original incident there's like 6 hours of documentation from that incident

#tech-chat-1 message

[robust trail]

That's a place I can copy and paste because I am lazy

[stable beacon]

uh what

explain what im looking at

[robust trail]

I am working with docker

discord is a notepad

[stable beacon]

so i don't need to care about it

[robust trail]

no

[stable beacon]

but why 💀

[robust trail]

because it is a text input and can copy and paste 🙂

[stable beacon]

that's the same as using google for calculator

well not really because everyone can see that

[robust trail]

use the tools you have

[stable beacon]

"small-capacity-block infinite cloud storage"

but fr tho do i need to know any of this

[robust trail]

no

[stable beacon]

if you have a personal server for logging then thats okay but it gets confusing when you just drop in here

i used a private server once for a discord log bot

[pale vigil]

What’s the cheapest thread border router right now? I was thinking about investing in Apple HomePod mini 2 if it ever comes out

[robust trail]

Thread border router?

a home bridge?

[pale vigil]

A thread router, yeah

[robust trail]

Probably a homepod or raspi build

[pale vigil]

I think it’s like Apple TV, HomePod, nest hub gen2, Chromecast studio

[robust trail]

homepod is the cheapest, Apple TV is the most useful

[pale vigil]

I like my google tv devices because I use Stremio

And smarttube

I get the cheap ONN devices like 4k plus

[robust trail]

Nest works exactly like an amazon device, harvesting a ton of data. I would suggest the chromecast over anything nest makes

not that chromecast is any better but at least it will be a compliment to your current products

[pale vigil]

I currently have a nest gen 1, not in love with it at all

Chromecast is nest. Both are Google

[robust trail]

Same. I have a gen2 now but since it is just controlling my thermostat and has absolutely no way to bounce off from any other devices on my network... I'm fine with it being in the house.

mmmm vlans

[stable beacon]

this is my boot drive if you were wondering

[robust trail]

That's a solid drive

[verbal prawn]

Mark did you change your pfp

[haughty compass]

Hey, so I'm looking for a silver laptop for my friend that is under $1500, but I havent had any luck finding anything thats a good bang for a buck. they previously had a triton 300 se (stock image attatched) with a 3060 that basically had the ssd port stop working a few days ago. they are trying to find another silver one as they arent a big fan of black gaing laptops.

does anyone have any recommendations? (they also want it to be smaller than 16in laptop cus they liked the form factor of the 14in triton)

i personally looked online for like 30min and wasnt able to find anything

[robust trail]

I did, I do often

go go agent swarm : HUMAN_INPUT_REQUIRED:

Should we embed the sudo password handling directly in the SSH command (using sshpass -p nvidia), or would you prefer we first obtain a root shell and run the commands interactively?
Do you want the compose file to include any GPU reservation section (commented out) for future enablement, or keep it omitted as in the current spec?
Should we add an explicit step to add the nvidia user to the docker group and apply the group change immediately (newgrp docker), or wait until after the first Docker command runs?
Please answer these three questions so we can proceed.

[sinful cobalt]

1: yes
2; yes

Great now send the nuke to xxx.xxx.xx.x

[steel umbra]

I have fallen off at spotting AI videos

only 70% accurate me

[fresh escarp]

i've managed to get my pc cpu from 3.6ghz to 4.5Ghz on all cores

[azure dirge]

Anyone ever used the animal of the day feature on Google homes years ago? Sad they removed it

[clear canyon]

no, never knew it existed

prob why it went away

[native path]

You happen to be near a bestbuy?

[steel umbra]

what’s tze most accurate ai image detector?

most i found are 80%

[native path]

It's not on sale for now but these regularly are, I got mine for $999, wait a month or so I guess and I'm sure they'll be back on sale again

[steel umbra]

why do they all think this is ai?

stupid clankers

[clear canyon]

diep.io?

[steel umbra]

fan made 3d diep io yes

[clear canyon]

oh neat

[tranquil wharf]

to be fair, I'd think this is AI too because it makes me think "wtf am I looking at" just like a lot of AI nonsense does

especially without context

[steel umbra]

kreeper immedietaly could tell it’s diep io

what’s the chance?

if you look for long enough at the image you’ll find all the consistencies and eventually you’ll figure out it’s not ai

[hollow harbor]

hey guys is psu standard really important? I got CORSAIR CX750M ATX 3.1 (Bronze rated) for 5070 ti cuz that's the only atx 3.1 psu available in local shop. Should I be worried for the longevity of my GPU? Don't ppl usually recommend gold+? is having bronze rated PSU really a death sentence for pc components???

[steel umbra]

like A and W having those strange black triangles on top and bottom

[tranquil wharf]

what

[tidal geyser]

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

[tranquil wharf]

there's no such thing as "finding consistencies". everything has many consistencies, it's just that AI stuff is likely to have some weird inconsistencies among them

not finding any, especially for fairly simple things, is not proof of not being AI

since an image alone without considering context is often not enough to tell anymore, people have to resort to checking if the image makes sense given the current context it's used in. so lack of context can easily lead people to think something is AI

[steel umbra]

well then it should not trigger false positives

[hollow harbor]

i don't see CORSAIR CX750M in tht list or idk might be blind

[tidal geyser]

you are

[steel umbra]

when i paste that into 5 of the ai detectors they say 94-100% ai

it’s not ai

[tranquil wharf]

... what made you think AI detectors were reliable in the first place?

[steel umbra]

the render is consistent if you look closely, the text is, well everything is

[hollow harbor]

oo i was searching CX750M mb

[steel umbra]

i’m laughing at people relaying on them

[tranquil wharf]

as the quality and consistency of AI image generation gets even better, the differences become smaller and detectors become much less and less reliable. arguably we are already at a point where AI detectors are useless

fair enough

for photorealistic stuff they may still work but I don't think there's any point trying to use them for digital graphics anymore

[hollow harbor]

uh i think this isn't up to date?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eL0893Ramlwk6E3s3uSvH1_juom7SMG5SCNzP2Uov8w/edit?gid=1529225916#gid=1529225916

[tidal geyser]

no

its why we use spl, but i would probs spend 100$ for your 1000$ gpu

[topaz shale]

i think my rm850x is going on 6 years

corsair psus are quite good

[tidal geyser]

you are saying that while there is are 2 E tier PSUs here

its really really important not to say brand name=good directly as some people take that as even their cheapest stuff is great

[peak knot]

unless it was BFG tech

all BFG tech stuff was good

unfortunately it was too good and sank the company

[hollow harbor]

i would if the store had it in stock, so am i fked? should i sell mine and order one online?

[tidal geyser]

not many buy C tier PSUs

i have seen people selling A tier pretty recent VERY high wattage psu for CHEAP

[tidal geyser]

i have not evne heard of BFG

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[hollow harbor]

i dont think my pc consume more watt, it never exceeded 550 ish watt under load, wht im concerned about is gold vs bronze standard

is standard really tht important

but then again i did spend a lot on my gpu so maybe it does in this case

[sinful cobalt]

tier matters more

bronze silver gold and allat is just their efficiency rating

[hollow harbor]

in tht spreadsheet cx series are b tier

[sinful cobalt]

ok

[tidal geyser]

80+ is shit

[tidal geyser]

or c

pic of your psu

[hollow harbor]

u want a pic of my psu?

[tidal geyser]

oh yea

[hollow harbor]

what...

[hollow harbor]

wait its c+ tier, its efficency is b tier mb

its all still old though, mine is 2024 model

[sinful cobalt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1055103856465428532/1461607991420653689/q8rnggwz5ndg1.gif

[tidal geyser]

tf is efficency b tier mean

[tidal geyser]

then its C tier

[hollow harbor]

bro i dont know im just following chart

eff.

[tidal geyser]

cultist sucks

use SPL

[hollow harbor]

idk how to access spl one...

i guess https://psutierlist.org/ follows spl tier list? in it it says b tier??

[tidal geyser]

use the link i sent?

[tidal geyser]

here is the link

[hollow harbor]

B-

[tidal geyser]

aka 2021 there

[hollow harbor]

corsair rm series is A+ and considering they use same cables maybe i can just swap out and replace it

[tidal geyser]

wat

[hollow harbor]

but is it really necessary though

what

[tidal geyser]

again 1000$ gpu

and well the rest of the pc

[brave brook]

My list 😄
4x A
1x B
1x C+ (but that is just for lowend build)
3x unrated (because they is so old)

[tidal geyser]

nice

[peak knot]

the last GPU series they made was the GTX 200 series

[brave brook]

(not to be confused with 2000 series)

[peak knot]

but BFG had an insanely good warranty and even upgrade option that was abused till they werent profitable

"The BFG GeForce 9800 GT, 9800 GT OC, and GeForce 9500 GT graphics card are eligible for the BFG Trade Up Program. The BFG Trade Up Program gives registered customers a one time opportunity to upgrade their current BFG graphics card to a more recently released, higher performance BFG graphics card and only pay the difference in cost plus any applicable taxes within 100 days of purchase."

an example of BFG's insane support

you buy a GPU and then they drop a new model 3 months later you could just pay the difference and get the new model

it solved the dilemma of "do i buy a gpu now or wait for new model"

[hollow harbor]

wait mine isn't 2024 model mb, its model with atx 3.1 connector so its 2025 model

still b- huh

scks spending extra cuz psu wasn't available in store at tht time

[tidal geyser]

Eh yolo it should be fine

[short marsh]

When i test uding ookla internet speedtest it says that my download speed is abt 900mbps and upload is 600mbps. But on task manager, it says that my send speed is less than 1mbps, same as my receive. is there anyway to fix my internet? oso on valorant i lag like heck

[hollow harbor]

i would yolo if we weren't living in these memory shortage time

have to take extra steps to take care of these components

[sinful cobalt]

get better internet

[short marsh]

but my internet already good the ookla say is high

[sinful cobalt]

I played valorant with 5 megabytes per second before

thats like… 40mbps

[short marsh]

but mine is less than 1mbps

[frail sequoia]

I like watching the bar move on my phone

[hexed sage]

was that the bite of 87

[drowsy isle]

I can see why people said the airpods pro 3 sounds underwhelming

I am comparing it to my iems which isn't fair

[frail sequoia]

I have a £10 pair of Chinese Bluetooth headphones

Wish I could get something with the same sound as my oddysey 2 iems or astrals as a wireless iem but that ain't happening

The sound quality difference is immense

'i dont wanna fry my gpu' overclock

[real quiver]

Upgrade complete

Basically an enterprise grade server

[fresh escarp]

on a logical budget in eur, what'd be okay upgrade from a Ryzen 5 3600 @ 4.5Ghz that i could upgrade to? techncally i use currently CPU more than the GPU so yea

[real quiver]

960 and rx580 to 5700xt and r7 250 (it's just so truenas will let me isolate the 5700xt and I don't remember what it is)

[sinful cobalt]

5700x3d

[fresh escarp]

that probably costs like 400 eur lmao

[sinful cobalt]

basically any non X3D variant isnt worth it to upgrade to

[real quiver]

Gaming or productivity

[fresh escarp]

well both tbf, i work as a IT and dev so that goes into the productivity category, but same time i do game, technoically cpu intensive games for most part

[sinful cobalt]

5800x/xt

[fresh escarp]

hm, cheapest i have that here is under 200eur, or around there

[real quiver]

Anything that relies on single core performance or do you care more about overall performance?

[limpid dune]

nah, the 3000-5000 jump is still really good. any of the 5000X ones IMO are a worthwhile upgrade unless you're going for >120FPS framerates, given that the 5000X3Ds are expensive asf

[real quiver]

Also what gpu

[fresh escarp]

overall upboost, could be that single core is betterish, but overall is good upgrade, the gpu is RX 6600 XT 8GB, ill find the specific version rq

https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/pulse-radeon-rx-6600-xt-8g-gddr6

[hasty valley]

How cheap?

I'll be the judge of ultra

only issue was some light corrosion

me clean and now its fine

[hasty valley]

You gonna flip it? Why you testing it?

[sinful cobalt]

no it very funny

[real quiver]

Do you need single core performance or do you just care about overall performance

[sinful cobalt]

@tidal geyser flip it

[sleek vector]

He unfastened the fans and wouldnt let me give him the glass for the case

[hasty valley]

Backflip or front flip?

[sleek vector]

As he packed it into the car

[sinful cobalt]

either works

[tidal geyser]

i buy broken stuff and fix

i really should order the cable for the laptop top left

[real quiver]

I say I do that but then I ended up not selling it

[hasty valley]

This is AI

[tidal geyser]

now i got a laptop with a broken shell

[sinful cobalt]

one cat and its all jover

[tidal geyser]

and i got no clue what to do with it

[tidal geyser]

no pets allowed im my apartment 🙁

i cant 3d print a keyboard

ebay costs so so fkn much in shipping

[hasty valley]

eBay all day

Otherwise you can't flip it and it's deadstock

[tidal geyser]

ama use it for testing laptop ram or smn

i mean overall performance means single core performance is what-so better too, wouldn't that makes sense? either way overall i guess

[hasty valley]

I want a small form factor, but my mid size just works so well.

[hasty valley]

Barely gave me any issues when I am not purposely messing with something.

[hasty valley]

Clean

[cold skiff]

That WiFi looks like a bmw radio antenna

[hexed sage]

Har har har

[fresh escarp]

that probably catches like 100mbps down and up

[hasty valley]

Antenna kinda standard but it looks like it doesn't fall over all the time like mine does.

[cold skiff]

Giving your setup some aerodynamics incase you fancy taking it for a drive

[hasty valley]

Why not be aerodynamic.

Just in case. Of flight.

Quantum computers about to go hard.

I wonder if their cost goes in and out of existence and I can snag it.

[sinful cobalt]

Its from the Mpower, not the ITX itself

[odd hull]

Used z1e for 400 or a new go z2go for 500

[tidal geyser]

use ze ai to compare performance

[random gyro]

intel 14nm scales funny

yes thats legit

[tidal geyser]

10nm better

[random gyro]

Are you beating a 10900k in single threading?

[tidal geyser]

well right now im installing windows as i have to charge in a uh funky way

pretty sure this is also the 15w version of the i7 10th gen

[delicate zodiac]

what apps should i use for checking gpu and cpu overclocking? (something with results)

[random gyro]

Cinebench or occt for cpu and 3dmark for cpu

[rigid fjord]

5600/5600x/5700x/5700x3d would be the ones to look at

[pale flint]

what about gpu

[random gyro]

Oh I’m dumb I meant 3dmark for gpu*

[pale flint]

💔

[random gyro]

It’s 2:30 am

[pale flint]

worth knowing

[rigid fjord]

cinebench 2024 onwards for gpu also

[pale flint]

holy

[random gyro]

I love msi laptops

Didn’t need so many options but I love em

[sinful cobalt]

ram

[ionic atlas]

better than bequiet?

i always ranked noctua and bequiet to be the top tier.

[random gyro]

snatch

[ionic atlas]

what does this even mean

so... you get no ECC ram making sure adobe render can crash more, it's better for creators? :p

[sinful cobalt]

these are top 3 slim fans in general

[sinful cobalt]

marketing bs

[sinful cobalt]

adata 6kc30 16x2 inside here as well

[random gyro]

Rich

Over 5ghz is possible wait

[bold olive]

definitely not cooler master

[random gyro]

I’m going after that 3900x score rq

[sinful cobalt]

gskill 6000c26 2x16

[ionic atlas]

this is like what u casually find in a lot ot black box industrial components...

but if they spend a dollar, u can find noctua in them (which is nice when they do)

[bold olive]

am5 stealth cooler

[sinful cobalt]

the best fans afaik are some noctua names i cba to remember and the phanteks T30

[rigid fjord]

content creators, aka people who make youtubes/tiktoks

[ionic atlas]

tiktokers use pcs?

[tranquil wharf]

for editing I suppose

[rigid fjord]

some do

[tranquil wharf]

it still boggles my mind how vertical content took off

[ionic atlas]

and still people be screwing up letterboxing stuff

[tranquil wharf]

letterboxing? 🤔

[rigid fjord]

16:9 originally

[ionic atlas]

well, normie term "black bars"

and on top of that, they split the video in two inside it recently

like.. c'mon

[hasty valley]

Excuse me everyone, I would like to announce who is on the beat.

In case you are wondering, it is Mustard.

[tranquil wharf]

dunno I haven't seen black bars on anything recently

95% of videos I watch are 16:9

[ionic atlas]

like what is this. two out of three

[tranquil wharf]

I wouldn't know I have hidden shorts on youtube

[hasty valley]

Brave has hidden shorts too, useful feature.

[tranquil wharf]

but vertical content is stupid anyway no matter how you cut it

[rigid fjord]

youtubes take on tiktok

[hasty valley]

It's optimized for cellphone, well it's suppose to be but people who make the tikkety tokketies don't care.

[tranquil wharf]

at the cost of being basically completely unusable on any normal display. while phones can be used horizontally perfectly fine

they take a horizontal video, put it onto a vertical video, meaning it takes 1/3 of the video. then you watch it on normal display, where the vertical video itself takes 1/3 of the screen. meaning the original horizontal thing they show is 1/9 of the screen. idiotic

[hasty valley]

Cellphones have been a huge share of total internet traffic, it might be bots now but it used to be cellphones.

Tech-Chat-1 needs some more pride, we can't let Tech-Chat-2 win.

[rigid fjord]

wait til it becomes bots with phones

[hasty valley]

Oh my goodness

AI is on cellphones, we are doomed.

GG

Tech-Chat-2 has messy desktops, they be putting everything on the desktop no folders.

[ionic atlas]

everybody, revert to nokias

[hasty valley]

Tech-Chat-2 prints pdf's, scans it, then emails it.

[ionic atlas]

don't u wanna know what the P in pdf stands for :p

[hasty valley]

Portable?

[ionic atlas]

tho windows whole "print to file" is just mentally insane thing

[ionic atlas]

yes, for printers haha

[hasty valley]

Tech-Chat-2 types google.com into google

[hasty valley]

I'm dissing Tech-Chat-2, join me

[tidal geyser]

We are no better if we act like them

[hasty valley]

Spoken like a true Tech-Chat-2'er

Have you ever chatted in 2?

[somber zealot]

they just uploaded the video like that

no?

[cold skiff]

It works. You have cloud apps now that print to file, send it to a printer and then you print.

[hasty valley]

Cat is a standup type of person

[cold skiff]

I also have to use print to file to save documents from oracle based customer portals

[ionic atlas]

on other systems it tends to be export to pdf, save as pdf etc.

[hasty valley]

On alot of software now PDF is paywalled

You gotta buy the license.

So instead to get around it print to PDF can work but it depends and probably loses some detail

[cold skiff]

Yeah have those too but yeah, Tesco hasn’t upgraded their portals in god knows how long

The oracle system they’re using for document storage is crap af

[hasty valley]

No one joined my hatred for Tech-Chat-2

We need more haters

[ionic atlas]

too busy hating on adobe

[cold skiff]

Please stop talking trol

[hasty valley]

No

[hasty valley]

I'll join your hatred with that.

Goooooooood

[cold skiff]

Nothing wrong with TC2

[hasty valley]

What do you mean?????

[cold skiff]

It’s pretty clear and simple

[hasty valley]

Had to do it.

[sinful cobalt]

sheesh theres even a cloth

[ebon marlin]

Ou jea my new phone has arrived

Gonna pick it up after work

[hasty valley]

What phone is it?

[ebon marlin]

Realme GT 7

I already own the Pro model of it but it's stuck with a chinese rom

[tidal geyser]

My laptop better

[hasty valley]

120 watt charger!

[ebon marlin]

Won't be using it

Nice to have but I have multiple 65w chargers at home which are C-C and are long cables

[hasty valley]

You don't want to extremely deteriorate your battery and or explode?

[fresh escarp]

hm fairs, the ryzen 5 or ryzen 7 ones?

[ebon marlin]

Charging speed doesn't matter

[hasty valley]

But it's cool

[ebon marlin]

It's just the included chargers are always so bulky and the cables are short

[hasty valley]

But how fast does it actually go?

That's double the fastest I've had.

Like 30 min 0-100?

25 min?

[ebon marlin]

They list it in their product page

Roughly 20mins

I also own a Oneplus 12R and 13R which also do 100w fast charging

[hasty valley]

You need more cellphones.

What you only have like 8?

[ebon marlin]

I own like roughly 10 iPhone 12-13's

[hasty valley]

Pssssh

[ebon marlin]

All functional no locks on em

[hasty valley]

You need at least 13

[ebon marlin]

New batteries installed on em

[hasty valley]

You do replacements?

[ebon marlin]

Yuh

And repairs

[hasty valley]

You repaired a lithium ion battery?

A spicy pillow can be fixed?

[ebon marlin]

No

Like phone repairs

[hasty valley]

Oh, that's cool.

[ebon marlin]

Some of them had cracked screens or cracked camera glasses

[hasty valley]

I have a OnePlus 7 pro, still the best phone. Little pop up camera is peak

[ebon marlin]

Bbk brands make really good phones

Arguably best android devices

[hasty valley]

I don't need another cellphone.

I have a flip 5 too

[ebon marlin]

I like trying out new phones

[ebon marlin]

So do I

[hasty valley]

You have everything

[ebon marlin]

I own lots of devices i just don't remember alot of em

[hasty valley]

You gotta get 13 iPhone 13's

[tidal geyser]

I fix laptops

[ebon marlin]

So do I

I got a Dell Precision 7560 in mail yesterday

64gb ram 1tb ssd with a i7 11850H and a Rtx a3000

Battery is on its last legs just needs a simple battery swap easy

[hasty valley]

Does it say -1 C for temp?

[ebon marlin]

Cost me 430€ lmao

The ram and ssd alone are 430€

[tidal geyser]

No

[empty heron]

Yall guys already had the shit throwing contest in regards to new verification on dc?

[hasty valley]

I might abandon discord

[empty heron]

https://tenor.com/view/lapp-train-teamspeak-hop-on-gif-11108084870041975074

Teamspeak taking page out of steams playbook

[hasty valley]

Teamspeak?

[topaz shale]

how bad is it to be assumed to be a teen on discord. what if i just dont verify

[empty heron]

Basically it changes your settings and what servers you can be on

at least in my understanding

[hasty valley]

Tech-Chat-2 hates bread

[topaz shale]

source?

these are serious accusations

[hasty valley]

I have had enough of their shenanigans

Have you been over there this week

?

[topaz shale]

yeah i havent seen any conversations about bread

[empty heron]

XDDDDD

[topaz shale]

based teamspeak

[steep raptor]

Take that back right now

[hasty valley]

Oh here we go

[topaz shale]

what was the catch with teamspeak again? is it that it isnt free or that it is locally hosted or something else

[ionic atlas]

it's mostly voice thing

[empty heron]

basically it used to have no UI

but they changed it with overwolf

now its literally discord

[frail sequoia]

I have a laptop, I do have a thinkpad e14 gen 3 too

[empty heron]

also more customisation

[ionic atlas]

tho Personally, I've liked Matrix... but the downside for marketing use, there's no single company push, compared to something like discord but on the upside, Matrix is decentralized.

[topaz shale]

hmm i dont know if I would ditch discord for overwolfs discord

[steep raptor]

mhm, you made a. mistake saying that in here :). We love bread

[topaz shale]

i hate their ad placements in their apps

[empty heron]

id rather give them money than my data

[topaz shale]

whos to say they wont change too

[empty heron]

well if they will imma go back to skype or some shit

[topaz shale]

fuck it ill make my own discord. with blackjack. and hookers

[ionic atlas]

aside from Matrix, there's also zulip

[empty heron]

and if they will imma come back to chatrooms

[steep raptor]

I would 100% switch to TeamSpeak. Overwolfs discord is worse then normal discord

[topaz shale]

.. overwolf owns teamspeak

[frail sequoia]

What’s that?

[hasty valley]

Prove it

[empty heron]

I used it back in the day

and it was fine

[steep raptor]

Oh shi that's true lol eh fuck

[empty heron]

Id say main thing is that discord is better for comunity servers

[frail sequoia]

Left a dvd in the laptop on accident

[topaz shale]

ill look into teamspeak again but if it is really an overwolf service then i am not replacing discord with it

[frail sequoia]

Still gotta install it

[boreal tiger]

ah

[topaz shale]

gordon freeman?? in this economy?

[steep raptor]

Element could be a good replacement

[ionic atlas]

ancient piece, before people bought it on steam

or orange box

[frail sequoia]

I have it on steam cause the cd key came used 😭

no public voice chats in this server, make a post in #1027757333117415424 with as many details as you can provide

[tidal geyser]

nobody

[warm anvil]

Okay bro

So now I even gotta send my Id for tiktok

Cool man

[grizzled frost]

how did the internet go from "we'll never ask for your ID" to "everyone asks for your ID" in the span of like 5 years

[warm anvil]

True

[warm anvil]

What happened to "never share information on the internet"

[grizzled frost]

Exactly

[warm anvil]

Now the same companies that said that ask for your info

[tidal geyser]

im not sure what the right adapter for my laptop looks like so im just going to buy them all

[flat shell]

Adapter from what, to what?

[tidal geyser]

wall to laptop

[flat shell]

What laptop (model preferably)

[tidal geyser]

o do not worry child i am finding it and more

[flat shell]

Finding what? :/

[flat shell]

OH MY

[clear sorrel]

interesting

[clear sorrel]

did you mean you're finding the right laptop that fits your wall plug instead?

[flat shell]

Oh, you want a variable power supply?

[tidal geyser]

sorin setup best

i repair laptops

[flat shell]

You really should cut type c like that

[flat shell]

Nice! :D
Well, first of all. Really get yourself "universal" laptop charger, and a PD charger

Trust me, you shouldn't hot wire a laptop to charge it.
Second get yourself a multimeter. Preferably not the cheapest one

[tidal geyser]

already got the good stuff

[flat shell]

Nice! Picture?

[tidal geyser]

not at home but i got hot air station a few multi meters and a thing meant to be high end when it comes to PD

[flat shell]

Perfect
Then just buy yourself a universal power supply, or a set of power plugs to bare cables. Since, some laptops take 12v, and other ~19.5. And you don't wanna plug 19.5 into 12v one
Also, wouldn't hurt to get a test bench setup

[tidal geyser]

gonna maybe get this if it can be used on shorts

[flat shell]

"if it can be used on shorts"
Shorts curcuits?

[tidal geyser]

well yes how else do you check what is dead

[flat shell]

If you need to test for short, use a multimeter. You really shouldn't test your psu if it can handle SC

[tidal geyser]

if a capacitor has faild and its shorted you either have to be superman to see the crack or just send 0.5v and like 2amps in and see it glow

it can it has constant voltage and curent modes

[flat shell]

You can stick one prob at +, and the other at ground to see if there's a short. And if there is, search what component shorts the curcuit

[tidal geyser]

well there are many components on a motherboard

any one of them can be the shorted one

[flat shell]

Well, yeah. There's a reason why the cost so much

[flat shell]

That's the thing. If your power supply has protection against shorts, sure. But if not, you really shouldn't test your luck

[frail sequoia]

I need to try to run underground on it, at college rn tho so I’m on my thinkpad

[tidal geyser]

no you set it to 0.5v so it does not nuke it

anyhow, temu is the best never using aliexpress again

i love vipps so much

[frail sequoia]

Can I have some ram (jk)

[flat shell]

OH NO

And here I thought why the ui looked so familiar

[shadow zealot]

yo gng what the😂😂

[frail sequoia]

I’m selling my thinkpad with a 5500u and 16gb ram lmao, still trying to find someone local to buy it lol
No success yet

[shadow zealot]

intel one or amd?

[flat shell]

U really shouldn't undervolt your laptop if you're not at home

[hexed sage]

Hello

[shadow zealot]

hello

[tidal geyser]

Now I am just missing a thermal cam

[frail sequoia]

Amd

[frail sequoia]

Wdym undervolt?

Its stock, unmodified

I don’t think you can undervolt a 23 year old laptop

[shadow zealot]

is it good

[frail sequoia]

Yeah

[shadow zealot]

shits older than me 💀

[shadow zealot]

yeah i could tell

[tidal geyser]

zen 2 vs zen 3

[shadow zealot]

hmm

[tidal geyser]

also +2 core

[shadow zealot]

yeah ofc

[tidal geyser]

i hate how the 5500u is a fkn zen 2 cpu

[shadow zealot]

but i got mine for free so idc

[shadow zealot]

?why

[tidal geyser]

ask amd

[shadow zealot]

all i do on my probook with the 7730u is roblox and minecraft so idk the 5500u can also play them too ig cus thay have a good igpu if im not wrong

[tidal geyser]

the 5500 is usable but eh just about not nuf for me

[hexed sage]

What the heck is a kr

[tidal geyser]

kroner

means crowns in english

[shadow zealot]

all i play are roblox minecraft ets 2 so im fine with any one of those 2

[tidal geyser]

about 190USD

[hexed sage]

Oh

Good deal

[tidal geyser]

all i need now is a thermal cam

[hexed sage]

Does he know

[frail sequoia]

16gb ddr4, 256gb storage (has a second nvme slot that is 2280)

[frail sequoia]

Plays those ik that

[shadow zealot]

amd is cooking with igpus fr

[frail sequoia]

I ran cs2 at 1080p medium at 100fps iirc, was on Linux tho

[shadow zealot]

i did linux and win dual boot on mine with the 7730u i couldnt tell the difference apart from 0.1% lows

[flat shell]

OH, my bad. I can't read XD

[frail sequoia]

For some reason the battery lasted longer for me on windows 11/10 than on arch Linux (currently has fedora)
Ubuntu was a bit longer than windows somehow nut at the same time some thinkpads come with Ubuntu so that might be why

[frail sequoia]

It’s alr

This is peak music

[fickle ivy]

My mom forgot the pin code to unlock her phone (pixel 8) and she needs it in an hour, anything we can do aside from just tryna remember it?

[frail sequoia]

|| Remember it ||

How tf do you forget your phones pin tho

[fickle ivy]

Idfk apparently she even used it earlier

[shadow zealot]

what are u running windows or linux?

[frail sequoia]

Currently fedora but imma be putting Ubuntu or windows on it again (shipped with windows so might put windows on it)

[fickle ivy]

She's had the same one for years too

[frail sequoia]

Why not ask her what it is?

[fickle ivy]

She doesn't remember

[frail sequoia]

She may remember it that way

Or ask her what the THINKS it is

[shadow zealot]

nice

[worn willow]

i dont have a fold

[bold olive]

cursed ubuntu logo

[rigid fjord]

yup, as 5600/5600x ar r5's while 5700x/5700x3d are r7's

[frail sequoia]

is that monitor that ktc one?

the 1440p 210hz (overclock) one?

btw your local ip is in thtat screenshot

[tired swift]

Local ip only exploitable on same network

Doesn’t matter

[frail sequoia]

cant someone ssh into your computer using your local ip tho?

[weary harbor]

Looks like someone ibstalled a virus in the computer

[tired swift]

Not a local ip, you need to be on the same network nothing you can do with it over the internet

They are not globally routable

[sleek vector]

Yo i ordered a guy off a sketchy website to come and he picked up my pc after undoing the cpu cooler and then putting it in his car how cooked am i

He didn't even want the glass pannel

[pale flint]

one cold cappuccino please

[tired swift]

Ts is like saying “one cold hot chocolate please”

🙏

[pale flint]

how so

i add more sugar to cappuccino

[tired swift]

Cause a cap is a hot beverage

[pale flint]

😭

idk

i dont drink hot coffee's

[tired swift]

So you drink iced coffee?

[pale flint]

yep

have tried cappuccino

[tired swift]

I make coffee but I don’t drink it

[rose stream]

You served this one quite cold. Lol.

[pale flint]

i usually have to wait for it to cool down

tho its also tasty

[tired swift]

Lol

[pale flint]

good

[tired swift]

Can’t stand coffee really. Most potent drug in the planet!

But it makes me money so no complaints from me

[pale flint]

i dont drink coffee everyday

[tired swift]

Caffeine blocks ur adenosine receptors which makes u feel less tired. But then after the coffee wares off the unbound adenosine that built up in the brain flood the receptors

And u crash

So you drink another coffee

[pale flint]

i dont

[tired swift]

Endless cycle for majority of the population

[pale flint]

i drink light coffee

just a fun time with friends

[tired swift]

I’m not targeting u lol I’m just saying

[pale flint]

yeah ik

same for smokers

[tidal geyser]

i just never drink coffee

[tired swift]

Good 👍

[pale flint]

i started drinking coffee like a year ago

still i dont feel like drinking one

[tidal geyser]

pleas never ever smoke EVERYTHING around you would start to stink to high hell, i would know as i got a laptop from a smoker yesterday

[rigid fjord]

when you hand them a chocolate bar instead and just go "deal with it"

[pale flint]

i hate smokers

[warm anvil]

hello

[pale flint]

hi

[rigid fjord]

ever dealt with a smoker's desktop?

[tired swift]

Smoking I only did ONCE, it was disgusting (and it was the social convention at the event I was at) 0/10 so not recommend

[pale flint]

i never tried

it stinks

[tired swift]

Don’t your mouth taste like 💩 for the rest of the day

[tidal geyser]

yup WAY WAY WAY WAY worse

[pale flint]

there is nothing about smoking that makes me want to try it

[cold skiff]

I smoke but never near my PC. Once cleaned my dads heatsink out years ago. Was blacker than charcoal and stickier than a custard bath

[tired swift]

Imagine his lungs 😔

[dapper lion]

GUYS! i think my cpu is fried i had a power outage and when it it came back my pc wont turn on the the light on the motherboard stuck on the cpu

[cold skiff]

I ended up replacing it

[rigid fjord]

i've helped a decorator repaint a smokers home, the amount of sugar soap we went through.........

[warm anvil]

yikes i hope my laptop isnt like that

[cold skiff]

#1027757333117415424

[warm anvil]

my dad who i live with is a pretty big smoker

[warm anvil]

dude its not meant to do that

[sleek ibex]

We would used to smoke sheesha outside in the evenings

[pale flint]

sheesha

[rigid fjord]

now imagine that, but all across the ceiling and high up on the walls

[pale flint]

sheesh

[rigid fjord]

the paint wouldn't have stuck to the ceiling alone if we didn't slather it in sugar soap

[pale flint]

✌️

[dapper lion]

I was playing farcry and it happened it wont turn back on

[sleek ibex]

"you can take the man out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the man"

[pale flint]

what is sheesha

[frail sequoia]

Oh alr

Mb

[sleek ibex]

It's what most westerners would refer to as "Hookah"

[pale flint]

ah

got it

[sleek ibex]

[tired swift]

Don’t say mb it’s good to learn 👍 also it’s a good trait to point out something you think could potentially be harmful 😊

[pale flint]

so like everyone shared it

make a circle and just smoke the hell outta that shit

[warm anvil]

i wanna learn more about tech but idk what

[pale flint]

do it

[warm anvil]

how

[tired swift]

Tech is VERY broad what do you want to learn

[pale flint]

only if i knew...

[warm anvil]

thats why i said idk

[pale flint]

😭

[tired swift]

What are you interested in

[pale flint]

i also want to kaires

lmk if you find out how

linux aint tech but ok

[warm anvil]

idk

[tired swift]

Software is indeed tech

[warm anvil]

indeed

[pale flint]

i would like to learn more about hardware stuff more

[warm anvil]

software is still tech aswell as hardware

[pale flint]

hmmm

linux is boring

[cold skiff]

Soft ware is soft. Hard ware is hard. Share ware is shared.

[warm anvil]

i like customizing it

[cold skiff]

I guess most kids today won’t know what shareware actually is

[warm anvil]

some wares are soft some wares are hard some wares are spies

[pale flint]

spices

[warm anvil]

yes

[pale flint]

mmm spicy

just

do random stuff with your pc

[tired swift]

Chat I built a new pc wanna see

[warm anvil]

yes

[cold skiff]

No

[pale flint]

thats what most people here do

[cold skiff]

Unless it’s wired like a bag of shite and ugly I don’t wanna see it

[pale flint]

fishtank

[warm anvil]

fire

[tired swift]

Components are chopped but atleast it looks good

[pale flint]

make all fans intakes

[cold skiff]

I want to see special builds, not some big standard we are all used to. I wanna see ketchup and mustard, crooked fans, bad cabling and sagging GPUs

[pale flint]

yes

something new

[cold skiff]

Christ that case is gonna be a hot box

[warm anvil]

can u use ketchup as thermal paste

[pale flint]

yes

but it wont work

[tired swift]

My GPU actually has a lot of sag 😭(old gpu + stressed and old PCIE slot)

[cold skiff]

I will never understand side intakes that are set back expecting the air to bend round corners and keep pressure

[warm anvil]

can i use Hycerian ✔ as thermal paste

[pale flint]

use me as anything you want pookie

Ts got crazy capacity

[pale flint]

how long does it last is the real deal

[tired swift]

Gotta be atleast 15 hours

[pale flint]

i dont think so

15 hours is crazy

[tired swift]

100+Wh is crazy

[pale flint]

you can only carry this laptop on plane?

[knotty osprey]

it's an old intel. not great efficiency

like 8th gen intel

[pale flint]

you are allowed to carry 2 100 wh batterues

[pale flint]

thats not so old

i5?

[grizzled frost]

8th gen is old

[pale flint]

oh wait yeah

[knotty osprey]

I'll have to replace the internal battery. seems to begin to slightly bulge

[pale flint]

💤

[grizzled frost]

stop using it immediately

[frigid blade]

8th gen is fine for a laptop not necessarily a desktop

[pale flint]

throw it away

[grizzled frost]

bloated battery is a fire/explosion hazard

[pale flint]

you cant stop a battery explosion btw

[plain cypress]

Depends what you do with your laptop
