[grizzled frost]

oh then that’s impressive

[warm anvil]

But obviously she thinks she could cut hair

[grizzled frost]

It’s not even that she thinks she can cut it, she just implicitly understands at an unconscious level that she can

[warm anvil]

True

[grizzled frost]

Which honestly might mean that ubel could always imagine killing fern, even if fern flexed like crazy

question is, can ordinary defense magic do anything against her slashes?

i don’t remember

[warm anvil]

Maybe

[mortal mantle]

was this useless to run

[grizzled frost]

I mean the whole purpose is defending against everything, i think even ubel would struggle to imagine cutting it

If defense magic works, fern is fine

[warm anvil]

True

[grizzled frost]

her prowess with defense magic is fucking insane

like you could count the people better than her at defense magic on one hand

[warm anvil]

New episode drops in 2 days

[grizzled frost]

Yipee!

i really want to see more of frieren fighting at the highest level

the frieren vs frieren fight was peak

shows you that even though frieren’s zoltraak is entirely unmatched by human mages, that she has spells even stronger

still dont understand why serie denied frieren her first class magehood

I guess because frieren honestly doesn’t have much ambition?

[mortal mantle]

also is it true that Windows Secure Boot keys will expire

[valid garden]

Core 2 Duo T5750

[odd hull]

so im buying a Lenovo Legion Go S 8ARP1 and a store is offering 2 models that are identical a Lenovo Legion Go S 8ARP1 83L30031GE and Lenovo Legion Go S 8ARP1 32GB 1SSD Nebula Nocturne i legit dont know what could be the different between those devices

one is 620 other 800

[swift stream]

imagine running discord on windows vista

[valid garden]

it literally says windows 7 is bro blind

or is it ragebait

[swift stream]

nah its def windows 8

[mortal mantle]

activate your Win7

[swift stream]

how bad is my cable management

[frigid blade]

There’s been worse sent here

That’s the point of the back, no one’s gonna be looking there so just stuff all of the cables in it

[robust trail]

cable management should be low on the priority list 🙂 So long as the machine is easy to work on.. that should be the extent of cable management. That and keeping wires out of fans.

[hasty valley]

Tech-Chat-1 all day, we be the best

[knotty osprey]

Damn better than mine. if thats a non modular psu there's only so much you can do

[hasty valley]

There's a reason we number 1

[cold skiff]

It’s a 4 out of 10. Definitely room for improvement if you want to make it worse

[fringe prairie]

what apus are in it

i’d also just check if the OG legion go is available

[swift stream]

its fully modular...

[tidal geyser]

ai says this

ah shit i removed some important part

wait wtf

ok no chap is just a muppet

[sinful cobalt]

serie felt like she was giving it based on general determination and/or great talent (Like with the guy working from home)

not that frieren doesnt have great talent, she considers frieren to be pretty much abusing her lifespan for her power

[left trellis]

is 1.4 SA voltage chill?

13900k

trying to push past 3600 mts but cant :(

[fringe prairie]

i’d avoid z2 go. at minimum you want the z1 extreme or z2

Wow

[topaz turtle]

This message is showing up for me constantly during a windows 11 install. Not seen it before. Anyone have any ideas ?

[left dove]

restart the install.

[buoyant bridge]

Your installer media might be bad

Try another USB, if it's a older system try a USB 2.0 stick

[hallow jasper]

going on 2.5 years on my 7800x3D. Still benching within margin of error of when it was new

[vestal stream]

4 each

[topaz turtle]

The only other stick I have is usb 2.0 anyway. USB sticks don't seem to last long for me before they have issues for some reason...

[shy basalt]

Whats the best 1440p monintor for 200€

[odd hull]

idk it doesn't show apu could it be a the screeen size

Also idk bout the regular ver cuz the go s maxed out is 600 while the low end go is 850

and i dont think the little extra preformance annd a buggyer os is worth the extra 250

with less ram and storage

[buoyant bridge]

no we aren't terrorists

[rough salmon]

W specs?

[frail sequoia]

my cpu has that too iirc (used up a tiny one and it didnt even reach the edges/corners and is probs dry by now)

[frail sequoia]

cant see shit about them

[frail sequoia]

nah, my evga w1 600w psu is less of a bomb than those things

[rough salmon]

im playing around, look at the 1.1Ghz - i forgot i left strict energy saving mode on

[frail sequoia]

it doesnt say the SPEC NAMES

[rough salmon]

like i was playing fallout 4 all day, wondering why fps was meh then i saw the 1.1Ghz then i remembered LOL

[junior merlin]

I literally have one in another PC lol

It was refurbished B Stock

[frail sequoia]

[rough salmon]

how do i show my specs

[frail sequoia]

a REFURBISHED psu is a big bomb

[rough salmon]

any decent app

[frail sequoia]

thermonuclear bomb

[rough salmon]

fallout ahh device

[frail sequoia]

by clicking each tab and screenshotting it with all the corners shown

[rough salmon]

this is the cpu (energy saving mode on i normally get 4ghz)

since this gaming laptop has no dedicated GPU it should be very efficent yes?

[rough salmon]

theres no graphics card on this

its intergrated amdn radeon 860s graphics

[junior merlin]

Yeah, APUs are the future for power efficient laptops

[rough salmon]

yeah if you want strong gaming, get a cpu that isnt AI, APU emulate x64 apps

[jovial swan]

sorry what? youre wording of english tickles my brain

[junior merlin]

DGPUs on laptops are only really necessary on higher end models for folks who need like, encoding or extra super horsepower. Like, the new Panther Lake stuff can surpass the 4050 mobile.

[rough salmon]

what language do you speak?

[jovial swan]

the 8060S is the most powerful IGPU there is bruh, it should be fine

[rough salmon]

its with an apu tho

[jovial swan]

kingdom of denmark

[junior merlin]

A lot of budget laptops with DGPUs tend to fry them in a couple years, and have terrible battery life.

[jovial swan]

yes an APU thats hella strong

[rough salmon]

denmark language

whats your budget

[junior merlin]

So is the Steam Deck and Switch 2.

[jovial swan]

12500 DKK / 1670 euro / 2000 USD

[buoyant bridge]

only shows the ram which is like basic ram capacity for 2026

[neon ocean]

I've had 4 laptops. Sure enough, something breaks within 3 years of heavy use

[rough salmon]

haha i was trolling cuz the 1.1Ghz

[buoyant bridge]

My 56 core CPU idles at 800mhz lol

Ghz means nothing at all it's a terrible metric to go by.

[jovial swan]

opteron?

[buoyant bridge]

Xeon W9

[jovial swan]

ah

[rough salmon]

what is the minimum cores you would do?

[buoyant bridge]

3495X to be specific it'll boost up to 4.8 GHz

[junior merlin]

Xeon Golds are super cheap now.

[buoyant bridge]

Opterons only went up to 16 cores I think

[buoyant bridge]

Also low clock and bad ipc

[jovial swan]

can buy a house with that ones price bruh

[rough salmon]

theres a gaming laptop here @jovial swan https://uk.store.asus.com/asus-tuf-gaming-a16-2025-4231-30940.html

[buoyant bridge]

no you can't

[junior merlin]

LGA3647 rigs are only like, $1000 if you hunt hard enough.

[jovial swan]

shit

[buoyant bridge]

I stole it from work and they're only like $4K new anyways

[buoyant bridge]

Not even that

Look at dell T7820s

[rough salmon]

my opinion is, if it has the word ai in it, dont get cuz its fake frames

[jovial swan]

you can buy a house in denmark for like 125K DKK. so 2 CPUs worth

[buoyant bridge]

they're like $600 for complete statems

[junior merlin]

Depends on the features you want. I was looking at single socket HPs with higher IPC chips.

[rough salmon]

i hope steam sells steam machines without ram as an option, i have a spare laptop with ddr5 16gb ram

[buoyant bridge]

T7820 is dual socket

[junior merlin]

It does suck that all these new Datacenters use hardware that we will not be able to reuse when they're obsolete.

[junior merlin]

I want single socket tho

[buoyant bridge]

no they don't? Except Asus boards most systems will boot them

[buoyant bridge]

It comes in both

[junior merlin]

Ehhh... do we know for certain the RAM is socketed?

[buoyant bridge]

WS towers used daughter boards for the second cpu and where just configured to have them as needed

[junior merlin]

Oh what??? Weird, didn't know that. Huh.

[buoyant bridge]

Most WS systems from 2012-2023 did that (HP for Zxx6, Dell for most of them except the highest end towers, Lenovo did not)

[rough salmon]

is there any point upgrading from steam deck to steam machine, i love steam os for my games bro. i want the 1440p 120fps

[buoyant bridge]

You can just install steamOS on other systems

[junior merlin]

I wouldn't say most do that, in fact most of the ones I hunted for on eBay were monolithic boards, no daughterboard.

[buoyant bridge]

bazzite is a thing

[rough salmon]

i prefer the simplicity

[buoyant bridge]

all the big named ones did

Lenovo and supermicro barely sold their WS towers

[rough salmon]

oh wait yeah but all i have rn is a laptop so i think steam machine would be good for first gaming pc

[buoyant bridge]

I wouldn't get into LGA 3647 at $1K though

you can shell out an extra $300 and get into the early 4189 and SP4 stuff which is leagues better

[rough salmon]

rn i play my games on geforce now ngl

[buoyant bridge]

Also SP3

[junior merlin]

I'm not, and I was just looking at ones that had single socket AND included high clock speed chip.

[buoyant bridge]

the IPC of LGA3647 always sucked though lol

the best 3647 chips in IPC where able to be whipped by i5s (in single core)

[junior merlin]

But you can get like, Skylake level IPC, right?

[buoyant bridge]

more like haswell

on a good day

[junior merlin]

That's not THAT bad

Oh

[buoyant bridge]

For $1K its horrible

when you could buy actual haswell EP chips that often did better in memory focused workloads for cheaper and had very close ipc

Haswell didn't have a IPC and core focused server socket so many of the WS haswell chips where also server

Skylake to Cascade lake had separate sockets

there's ZERO reason to get a single socket LGA 3647 when 2066 exists

4189 at least has reasons to get a single socket system

[junior merlin]

Gotcha

My only experience so far is up to X99

[buoyant bridge]

2066 was the single socket option for Kaby lake to Cascade lake
3647 was the dual/quad socket option for Skylake to Cascade lake

[junior merlin]

Good ol e5 1660

[buoyant bridge]

X99 continued as X299 (2066)

If you're looking at x99 type stuff go for 2066 Xeon stuff (it's not the same as the desktop stuff though)

x299 and C422 don't boot the same cpus like X99 and C612 did

[junior merlin]

Gotcha

[grizzled frost]

Yeah frieren largely is strong because she’s old, whereas people like fern are strong due to sheer determination

wait did yall see discord now also needs age verification

i saw in some yt short

[tidal geyser]

if you're a gooner

[shadow zealot]

which im not hehe

[tidal geyser]

its not gonna do anything against you then

[shadow zealot]

hmm

[tidal geyser]

people act like you need it to use discord

[shadow zealot]

lmao

[tidal geyser]

you do not its due to discord trying to reduce the amount of pedos on its platform

[shadow zealot]

alr ill go watch some ken abroad now

[shadow zealot]

holy

[tidal geyser]

no text to speech made a video about how bad the problem was 2 months ago so i would imagine since then discord has had a massive discussion and worked on implementing certain things to try and make it way harder to do that kinda stuff.

[jaunty apex]

Totally not in response to age verification laws being deployed

[shadow zealot]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MnoLA_gjTUY

this thing

[tidal geyser]

i suspect it had a part to play but the biggest was just roblox pedos getting children onto discord as there aint much stopping you here

[topaz turtle]

so i tried with a diffrent USB stick and i get the same issue ?

[robust trail]

https://klipy.com/gifs/bebezinho

[tidal geyser]

making a tech support thread is so hard

[raw olive]

so apparently discord will analyze what we post to determine our ages
im getting flagged tf out by certain intelligence agencies

can someone educate me on seasonic psu naming schemes please?

[tidal geyser]

there aint one

[tidal geyser]

you already were

but ltt has a tier list

[frail sequoia]

Hi

[frail sequoia]

Am5 doesn’t support ddr4?

[ivory mountain]

am5 is ddr5 only yes

[frail sequoia]

Isn’t 7th gen ryzen even on a laptop ddr5 only?

[robust trail]

I don't think there has been a ryzen cpu that supports both DDR4 and 5

[tidal geyser]

there are no 7th gen ryzens out

[mint umbra]

Is discord cooked with new changes

[frail sequoia]

Yes there is, ryzen 7600x, 7700x etc

[tidal geyser]

those are zen 4

[robust trail]

Hopefully discord banishes all the weirdos and squeakers

[frail sequoia]

The numbers start with 7 tho

Like the 9600x, 9700x etc is 9th gen

[tidal geyser]

am3 ddr3
am4 ddr4
am5 ddr5

[fringe prairie]

it’s not the 7th gen

naming isn’t like intel

[frail sequoia]

Am6 ddr6

[tidal geyser]

intels is actually 7xxx is 7th gen

you cant just use the same method as one brand uses on another

[mint umbra]

Yeah right lol

[frail sequoia]

Amd copied nvidia tho

[tidal geyser]

ryzen 1000 zen 1
ryzen 2000 zen+
ryzen 3000 zen 2
ryzen 4000 some kinda zen 2+ thing i think
ryzen 5000 zen 3

[tidal geyser]

no?

nvidia does not even use numbers for their architecture

[frail sequoia]

9060, 5060 instead of 9600 or 8600 or smth like that

[robust trail]

I mean... we do

[tidal geyser]

you do?

[fringe prairie]

well that’s just amd marketing back at it again

they copied intels mobile numbering scheme too

[kindred halo]

Ryzen AI 9 and that bullshit 💔

[robust trail]

Every manufacturer has used numbers in product names going way way back. That's how it works. If anything AMD copied Intel and whoever was before intel 🙂

[robust trail]

Yeah, silicon names like GB100

[tidal geyser]

you don't say

[tidal geyser]

aint that blackwell

i did say architecture

[robust trail]

Oh yeah AMD used Intel's tier schema to help customers know what was what

[tidal geyser]

why did amd have to ruin it

the new system has even zen 3 i think

[robust trail]

because complicated is better for confuse

[tidal geyser]

tbf iv seen people buy brand new shit tier laptops that cost way way too much and are just zen 2

[shadow zealot]

the motherboard uses ddr4

[shadow zealot]

see

[fringe prairie]

zen 2 as well

[plain cypress]

4000 was Zen 2 apu

[fringe prairie]

7730u isn’t “am5”

[plain cypress]

6000 was zen3+ (mobile only, 6nm refresh)

[fringe prairie]

rembrandt mentioned 🔥

[shy basalt]

Should i buy a 9070 from acer or sapphire

[tidal geyser]

au nau

[tidal geyser]

that is zen 3 you numpty

[jovial jasper]

this picutre gives me eyes cancer

[tidal geyser]

i would say sapphire

[jovial jasper]

pick sapphire

[carmine yew]

what you shouldn't do is crosspost

i can already smell it

[frosty gyro]

currently have a 4070 and a 5600x. Ive got a 5700x3d on the way and i was wondering what gpu should i upgrade to to maximise my performance? preferably nvidia

[tidal geyser]

5090

[frosty gyro]

100% bottleneck 🤣

[tidal geyser]

not how that works

[frosty gyro]

?

[tidal geyser]

there is a reason you will not find a single person with half a brain here using the B word for this kinda stuff

you could be playing at 4k DLAA RT path traced for all we know

[frosty gyro]

i play 1440p

i was thinking maybe a 5070ti or a 5070 but there isnt much difference between the 4070 and 5070

[tidal geyser]

5070 ti it is then

[cold skiff]

The B word? That’s a naughty word

[left dove]

The things you experience in secondlife

[cold skiff]

The B word!!!

[carmine yew]

are there any games you play that are running slow because of your GPU?

[cold skiff]

MFG. increased DLSS performance…

[tidal geyser]

no why would he, its mostly just discord and youtube

need to have a 2000$+ gaming pc or else its not a true gaming pc

[cold skiff]

I got a 7800x3d and 7800xt in 2023 for OSRS

[tidal geyser]

he is playing arc and minecraft 😐

[cold skiff]

I use 5% gpu and 3% CPU when playing

It’s necessary

[tidal geyser]

arc a game that be fun on a b390 with decent performance and minecraft that is uh well minecraft

[frosty gyro]

i play beamng and arc raiders rn, they both perform fine just looking for an upgrade but my gpu usage is pretty high sometimes

[cold skiff]

9900x is peak Minecraft experience

[tidal geyser]

im gonna tell you a secret, once you upgrade your gpu then your cpu usage will be pretty high.

[frosty gyro]

im not 100% sure if im upgrading my gpu yet im gonna see if the jump from my 5600x to a 5700x3d is good

[hallow jasper]

(if your GPU usage isn't nearly maxed out, that (often) means something else is preventing it from doing so, thus lost performance)

99-100% GPU usage is best case scenario

[frosty gyro]

on beamng i get mid 90s

[tidal geyser]

considering the games you play i heavily doubly you are going to notice any massive differences

the real question is fps

[frosty gyro]

with like 40 on the cpu

[tidal geyser]

someone was playing a dx12 ultimate game and a normal dx12 game and wondering why gpu usage was so different but temps were mostly the same, the main issue with how to check usage is that you cant measure all the cores in a gpu or else when doing dx12 games you would have super low usage while dx12 ulti could look pretty normal

[frosty gyro]

also is a 240mm aio allg for a 5700x3d

[tidal geyser]

that is a like 80w cpu

a single tower air cooler is plenty

[frosty gyro]

alright

i get like 35c idle with the 5600x

[tidal geyser]

idle means nothing

[carmine yew]

beamng is a weird game to try and measure anything because it's very odd how the engine and game works

[frosty gyro]

do you play

[carmine yew]

have I, yes, do I regularly? nah

[frosty gyro]

i just play it when im bored tbh

better than forza 😂

[tidal geyser]

thought it liked many cores

[karmic quiver]

I'm sure there's a few setups like this

[karmic quiver]

You mean intelligent

[jovial jasper]

As a Battlefield player i can say i dont have that

why even use msi center

[jovial jasper]

i deleted it after 1 week no idea for what you need that

same used it nuked it after

so my rgb is just rainbow, but I don't really care.

Using FanControl to work with my fans though

[jovial jasper]

good that my MSI stuff dosnt have RGB

[limpid ivy]

The only rgb is just my ram lol

only rgb in my system , originally wanted to go to non rgb ram but ehhhh with the current situation that is not happening till my new system.

[jovial jasper]

i have RGB everyhwere just mainboard and GPU dont have it

and the cable are just black not the RGB fancy cable

[karmic quiver]

Yes indeed, I wanted to try and see something with my computer

Is the Z-Edge 27 Zoll 240Hz QHD Gaming Monitor good?

[tidal geyser]

is it IPS?

[shy basalt]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

then yes

[shy basalt]

Ok thanks

Muscle distrophy final boss

[empty quartz]

Z1 extreme ally*

im kinda tempted to put the original ssd back in, sell it; so then i can buy the upgraded version with an actually usable amount of ram

16gb sucks ass for gaming with an igpu

16gb is fine if you have a dgpu

But with this igpu and playing 1080p, it just consumes alot of ram

[warm anvil]

i hope so

[tropic egret]

yo guys what browsers do you use

[mint umbra]

chrome/firefox

[dusty egret]

Chrome

[tropic egret]

personally i use firefox nightly

[worn tinsel]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/70dORmNMsEU
new cpu cooler just dropped wtf is this

[fathom hinge]

guys what's the difference between Asus B850 TUF GAMING PLUS WIFI DDR5 ATX vs Asus Tuf Gaming B860m-Plus Wifi

like which one is better

for gaming and multitasking

[tidal geyser]

Helium

[warm anvil]

helium is so good

[tidal geyser]

Those are extremely different motherboards

[warm anvil]

i swapped to it a few days ago

[tidal geyser]

I wonder why

[warm anvil]

oh were u the one who told me to use it lmao

[tidal geyser]

Ye

[glossy veldt]

boys, what do yall say

[warm anvil]

hell yeah

[warm anvil]

thanks its really good

[glossy veldt]

70 bucks tho

[tidal geyser]

One only works with amd CPUs the other intel

[glossy veldt]

good deal or nay its a 2013 panasonic dmz-fz60

[warm anvil]

what extensions do u use with it

[tidal geyser]

I did not figure it out

Xd

[warm anvil]

wdym

[tidal geyser]

I did not figure out how to install add-ons

So all I got is ublock

[warm anvil]

ohh lmao

[warm anvil]

heres mine

[warm anvil]

you install extensions from chrome store

[mint umbra]

why does my windows never show the right time when I set it to the right timezone

[stray portal]

I have big plans for my next pc

Hopefully it wont be soon tho, my current pc is powerful

But when i do make a new one, im gonna make it a lil guy, probably wont even have a dgpu

[ivory mountain]

reze mentioned

[stray portal]

Try to sync it, for me it was 3 hours behind for some reason, it seems to start delaying if you boot into other oses since ur last windows boot

[stray portal]

Wow is helium really that good? I heard it didnt have extensions

[ivory mountain]

brave

[warm anvil]

it does!

its really fast i am quite fond of it so far

very customizable too

u can literally remove everything from ur start page if u want

[stray portal]

Hmm seems nice, but idk if it does anything over other chromoum browsers thats worth a switch

Rn im just using chrome after switching from brave

[warm anvil]

it is chromium

[ivory mountain]

i was having issues with helium it wouldnt let me sail the seas cause the downloading part was messed up for me

[stray portal]

and before that idk what i had

Floorp

[warm anvil]

idk its just really fast

[stray portal]

And before floorp I had a nice themed firefox

[warm anvil]

how do i shift focus to a window on hyprland

wait lemme just make a new workspace for this

[stray portal]

Oo how has linux been so far?

i wanna switch, but windows has me tied with app/game support

[warm anvil]

great

i used ubuntu cinnamon then about 20 ish days ago i swapped to cachyos

for about 18 days i used kde plasma and now im on hyprland

[stray portal]

Evolving so fast

I personally dont like wms like hyprland

[warm anvil]

i think its pretty cool but i get why you wouldnt like it

[warm anvil]

Also with helium u can remove everything from your home page if you wanted

[warm anvil]

?😭

[ivory mountain]

"yeah i use arch + hyprland how could u tell"

[warm anvil]

it is pretty goated tho

one thing i like about hyprland is i can have the attention span of a pea cause i can multitask really well

[stray portal]

I have so many choices, opensuse has the best xfce implementation, but then i like debian, but then debian has bad xfce so i should use kde, but if i use kde why not use arch or gentoo, but then why not use bazzite with desktop form

[warm anvil]

im watching anime as we speak xd

[stray portal]

What i dont like about xfce is that if i dont want to use the dock then i cant pin apps to anywhere

[ivory mountain]

im watching death parade

[warm anvil]

i havent tried xfce

ive tried i3 sway and niri but i decided i like hyprland the most for now

[stray portal]

I wanna be unc so i might just use debian because its super stable

[warm anvil]

true...

[stray portal]

My time is very important, and limited, so if i have to always fix stuff its gonna get annoying

[warm anvil]

this gif has done unrepairable damage to linux

https://tenor.com/view/linux-trash-linuxbad-gif-18671901

https://tenor.com/view/linux-gif-25928231

and this

[stray portal]

This is why im also stuck on windows, i dont have the time (or patience) to learn something new again

And then if i decide to go back to windows i have to go through the hassle of setting everything up again

[warm anvil]

yeah thats completely fair

i like arch cause theres so many choices for installers

especially cause the AUR has like everything

[grizzled nova]

i tried kde plasma like a year ago and literally everything broke

this was on debian tho

[warm anvil]

how </3

[grizzled nova]

idek

[warm anvil]

kde is so reliable

if u used debian with a different DE then swapped to kde it mightve been a bit buggy yeah

[grizzled nova]

most things worked when i swapped to gnome

i installed with kde

[warm anvil]

thats weird

[grizzled nova]

yea

idk everything works on hyprland now

[stray portal]

Wait really

[grizzled nova]

bc cachy easy mode arch

[stray portal]

I was planning on using debian with kde

What broke?

[warm anvil]

i love cachy

it is so easy for an arch based distro

[clear canyon]

i love cashy in my wallet

[grizzled nova]

audio, some inputs, menus werent loading, darkmode would only apply to a few windows, bg would reset on every boot, etc

[warm anvil]

i have none

[stray portal]

Also on linux, i will miss my mc bedrock and gta

[grizzled nova]

mc bedrock has to be in wine

[left dove]

TINY TABASCO TINY TABASCO

[clear canyon]

bedrock? ur not missing out

[warm anvil]

bedrock doesnt work on linux?

[grizzled nova]

no way it isnt

[warm anvil]

YEAHHHH TINY TOBASCO

[grizzled nova]

but also just play java

[warm anvil]

true

[grizzled nova]

is there tabasco linux

[stray portal]

I can probably get minecraft working but idk about gta, rockstar intentionally blocked linux players from online

[left dove]

forever a desk ornament now

[warm anvil]

gta wont work

[stray portal]

So what stops them from blocking gta 6 entirely

[grizzled nova]

make sure to clean it

[warm anvil]

but what if the tiny tobasco molds

[left dove]

im so happy, it came in a chili mac MRE and it had TWIZZLERS and JERKY in ittttt

[stray portal]

its not cuz its like uwp or something which wine doesnt support

Also i have a lot of friends on bedrock and got used to it so thats why, but on survival I just play modded java

[grizzled nova]

whyre you eating mres

[left dove]

idk i bought like 50 of them

[grizzled nova]

bleh just get them to play java

[left dove]

like, why not

[grizzled nova]

ok

[fathom hinge]

but what is the best one for gaming I don't really care if it's AMD or Intel

[stray portal]

yeah good idea they should just play java on their console and phones

[grizzled nova]

was it good

[left dove]

yes

[grizzled nova]

yea they can get java on their consoles

[left dove]

mres are tasty

[grizzled nova]

phones yes if android

[grizzled nova]

9850x3d

amd

doesnt intel still win in single core and memory tho?

[fathom hinge]

alr thanks

ye

[warm anvil]

my desk ornament is the mangled fanta can

[left dove]

clean your desk

[grizzled nova]

my desk ornament is a tissue box

with tissues

[left dove]

gross

[grizzled nova]

how what

[grizzled nova]

ohhhhhhh i get what you mean
no

weird for thinking that its just tissues

[warm anvil]

true

[grizzled nova]

idk maybe im weird for not thinking it
but like

[stray portal]

is it bad that i like ubuntu

[warm anvil]

no

[grizzled nova]

no

[warm anvil]

ubuntu is a pretty cool distro but i dont want to use it ever again

im not a fan but it definitely has its perks

[grizzled nova]

i honestly hate ubuntu

bc it looks like android

[stray portal]

i just dont like snaps, i had snaps break my cities skylines 2 and corrupt all my saves

Because it couldnt find them

[warm anvil]

snap sucks

[stray portal]

when IT saved them

[grizzled nova]

snap pkg manager?

[carmine yew]

They're both fine. Get the one with the features you need

[stray portal]

Ubuntu is the closest linux thing to a mainstream os, for better and for worse, so its likely going to stay this way

[grizzled nova]

mint is growing tho

[warm anvil]

for sure

[stray portal]

But its nice to have a company backing something up

[grizzled nova]

same with zorin

[carmine yew]

Not really

[stray portal]

Yeah zorin is definetly nice my friend just installed it

[grizzled nova]

oh ok

[warm anvil]

id say mint is probably the distro most people use after 2 seconds of research

[stray portal]

Mint is somewhat slop imo, also my opinion is biased

[warm anvil]

cause if u search "cool linux distro like windows" boom mint is the first result

[stray portal]

If i didnt hate fedora i would probably use it

[warm anvil]

mint tries too hard to be windows

and not its own thing

[grizzled nova]

the second one is zorin

[warm anvil]

frick

throw beginner in there

[ivory mountain]

mint is buns

[fathom hinge]

okay thanks

[warm anvil]

True

[warm anvil]

I mean at least it's there

[grizzled nova]

zorin pops up bc its entire philosophy is being windows on linux

[warm anvil]

thats true]

uowshdbfiafbujafsgasufasfuaufgwafgayufafuyfugywfgyulefyugefa

[ivory mountain]

zorin tries to get u to pay for free programs bundled in lmaooo

[bold olive]

i daily ubuntu

[grizzled nova]

yea

[warm anvil]

whatttt thats crazy

[ivory mountain]

"premium software suite" - pre installs kdenlive

[stray portal]

Kdenlive is a pile of garbage i will never use it

[warm anvil]

whats kdenlive

[stray portal]

Yeah zorin is kinda scummy but atleast it does a lot of qol stuff

[ivory mountain]

im sorry bud but professionals dont use kdenlive 🤣

[ivory mountain]

free open source linux video editor

[stray portal]

a very BAD video editor

[ivory mountain]

it crashed 10 times in 3 minutes for me when i tried it

on 3 different distros mind you

[warm anvil]

isnt davinciresolve just a better version

[stray portal]

if you change your system font it also changes the entire ui its so slop

Shotcut i havent tried in a while and openshot is just bad, sadly theres no good video editor on linux

[warm anvil]

whats yall favourite beginner distro

[stray portal]

Davinci is too powerful for most people

[warm anvil]

what was that </3

someone just tried to ghost ping lmg staff?

[grizzled nova]

yea

[grizzled nova]

cachy

and hyprland

[warm anvil]

i wouldnt call it beginner friendly cause it is still arch based and rolling release

[warm anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/kekuwu-kekw-anime-gif-10260786903607553889

[grizzled nova]

yea its probably mint

zorin for me doesnt seem like a learning distro
its just for people who want windows on linux
mint tries to be linux in the sense that you use it to learn
you dont have to use terminal but it improves workflow
zorin seems like you can use terminal

at least from my experience with both

[warm anvil]

zorin is for people who want to say they use linux

[south arrow]

[ivory mountain]

[topaz shale]

ZFS my beloved <3

[warm anvil]

nah i was saving it cause i had to paste it somewhere

[teal venture]

Any advice for getting a wifi driver to work?

[warm anvil]

had my mouse on discord instead of my terminal when pressing enter xd

[south arrow]

If a new build updating the wifi driver with the exact motherboard website, downloading, extracting then running it

(Can plug into ethernet temporarily if needed)

[teal venture]

I did that but it still doesn’t give me the option to connect to wifi

[south arrow]

What motherboard? I can double checks

[teal venture]

Asus prime x870-p wifi

Brand new build with it too

[teal venture]

When I run the application it opens a window for like half a second then closes. Then nothing hapoens

[south arrow]

If the real tek doesnt work try the media tek one

🍀 🐛

[teal venture]

Tyyy

[south arrow]

Little things

[verbal prawn]

arch

[warm anvil]

Is what I use (btw)

[verbal prawn]

nerd

i quit after i nuked my bootloader for the second time

[warm anvil]

😭

[verbal prawn]

only distro i've ever used

and the only one i will probably ever use

[warm anvil]

Why start with arch

[verbal prawn]

uhh i forgot

gimme a second to look through my messages

ahhh

i installed pop os

and i couldn't get steam to work

and some guy told me to use arch

[fathom hinge]

guys what was the biggest mistake you made when building a pc

[verbal prawn]

bent cpu pins

theres not really anything you can mess up

[fathom hinge]

did you band it back

[fathom hinge]

I think you can fry the motherboard if you plugged in the wrong ports for the power supply

[verbal prawn]

no i did not band it back

but i did bend it back

[warm anvil]

😭

[feral wraith]

Guys should I swap my 32G 5600MHz DDR5 for 64G 4800MHz DDR5 or not?

[left dove]

no

[verbal prawn]

i ended up spending 4 hours trying to figure how arch install worked before realizing i was on an old ISO that didn't have arch install and then I did it manually

[verbal prawn]

is it free?

[feral wraith]

yes

swapping from another older laptop

[verbal prawn]

just swap it sell it and rebuy your old sticks

[feral wraith]

wondering how much performance the 800Mhz difference would cause

[frail sequoia]

Should I get these for retro gaming or (I’m gonna reply with other screenshot so @light bluff doesn’t nuke me)

[frail sequoia]

What one should I do for retro gaming?

[feral wraith]

yeah main thing is its for my rog scar 18 only 2 ram slots

or else that is a fire idea

[clear canyon]

Do emulation

[frail sequoia]

No

I like the old pc games

Like 90’s to early 2010’s

Before windows 10 type games

Tbh I do need portable with a dvd drive

So maybe a full on pc isn’t the best to do

[clear canyon]

Emulsion is what you want, ur gonna pay out of the ass for old hardware

[frail sequoia]

Old tech > modern tech

[clear canyon]

Disagree

[frail sequoia]

Used to be all about power

[upbeat oasis]

Not the same feeling

[frail sequoia]

Now it’s all about ai

[frail sequoia]

What they said

[clear canyon]

What? You can buy a modern computer and not do ai

[frail sequoia]

Yes ik, but a lot of modern stuff is more so focused

[clear canyon]

Its not worth paying out of the ass for old hardware

[frail sequoia]

Also I’m selling my thinkpad e14 gen 3 for £100 so modern isn’t an option

[upbeat oasis]

Actual hardware > Emulation, to me.

[frail sequoia]

I have my 6600xt pc for modern games

[frail sequoia]

I agree

[upbeat oasis]

Would be the same as "Why buying a N64 when you can emulate it"

The feeling of the actual hardware in your hands

[clear canyon]

Tf, why

[frail sequoia]

My parents don’t understand why I like the old stuff over new stuff js cause I’m 16

[frail sequoia]

Cause, I rarely use it but an old xp/windows 7 gaming laptop I would use daily

[clear canyon]

You realize you cant actively use them as there is no security updates right?

[undone star]

i have just made the mistake of a lifetime and had my entire 8tb media drive wiped as well as multiple network storage drives wiped on my ubuntu server

[frail sequoia]

Who said I need modern games

[clear canyon]

How did you wipe it

[undone star]

because i used timeshift to make backups and when deleting a timeshift backup it apparently mounts your drive in a subfolder

[frail sequoia]

WiFi works on them and there’s old games I can play

[undone star]

so when deleting a backup it deleted the root of 3 harddrives

[clear canyon]

What? Im talking about hooking it up to the internet?

[frail sequoia]

You can connect them to wifi

[clear canyon]

Ouch

[frail sequoia]

I connect my dads 23 year old xp laptop to WiFi

[clear canyon]

Omg, dude

[frail sequoia]

As long as the firewall is enabled you should be fine

[clear canyon]

Thats extremely stupid, ur just asking to be hacked

[upbeat oasis]

OH GOD

[clear canyon]

Lmao, no

[upbeat oasis]

NO

[clear canyon]

You gotta do research before saying this dumb shit man

[frail sequoia]

There’s a thing called a properly setup firewall + antivirus stuff, also who tf can hack smth with <1gb storage left

[upbeat oasis]

Not even.

You don't connect, AT ALL

[clear canyon]

Oh my god, sure, on old hardware that no one supports 🤓

[upbeat oasis]

Or on a completely separate network, with just XP.

[frail sequoia]

I did and it’s fine, it’s not like I do web browsing

It’s litterally, connect, install thingy disconnect

It’s not that big a deal

[clear canyon]

The instant ur old computer gets connected to the internet, you immediately tell everyone to attack that computer

[upbeat oasis]

That's called USB.

[swift stream]

my gpu cooled so good it started growing snow

[frail sequoia]

I used a usb adapter for WiFi

[upbeat oasis]

That's not what I meant,

[clear canyon]

Brother...

[upbeat oasis]

Install from main PC, transfer via USB to XP.

[clear canyon]

Ur clearly ignorant about this stuff, you should listen to us

[upbeat oasis]

Just connecting a printer and leaving everything on isn't a good idea.

[clear canyon]

Thats the safest way

[empty quartz]

Why do you think you need 64gb?

[autumn ravine]

Quick question is this a good build ?

[clear canyon]

No

[upbeat oasis]

Depends on the price.

[autumn ravine]

$700

[empty quartz]

Hell no

[frail sequoia]

I do that

[upbeat oasis]

Paid 800CAD for more.

[frail sequoia]

Well I use DVDs but same thing

[upbeat oasis]

3700X + 3060Ti + 32GB

[clear canyon]

Eh, its decent bc of the ram

[upbeat oasis]

RW?

[frail sequoia]

What, the WiFi only gets connected for a few mins

[empty quartz]

Its using a decade old platform though

[frail sequoia]

Just dvd-r

[autumn ravine]

If I was to do it I was gonna upgrade the storage and the graphics

[frail sequoia]

4.7gb

[clear canyon]

That does not matter when a modern computer can do massive damage on an old system in an instant

[autumn ravine]

How much do you think it's worth ?

[warm anvil]

my dad came home with a chicken burger❤️‍🩹

[empty quartz]

Dont get it

[clear canyon]

Old hardware is not supported, its highly insecure

[frail sequoia]

So if it’s connected to a vpn, antivirus and firewall my whole houses WiFi will be hacked, cause nothing has happened

[clear canyon]

True but the ram is nice if you want ram lol

[autumn ravine]

Is it outdated ?

[clear canyon]

Again, ur ignorant about this

[empty quartz]

Most people cant even utilize 1/2 of it

[frail sequoia]

I’m litterally saying what I’ve been doing for the last week now

[upbeat oasis]

XP PC gets infected without you knowing, infects your whole network

[frail sequoia]

Bro there is nothing that’s happened

[feral wraith]

No reason at all, thinking of future proofing just because i have the option idk how much performance loss I will get with 800 MHz less. Hey it's free

[clear canyon]

Ur firewall is older than you, its not supported vs modern attacks plus basically all its weak spots has been wellknown for a long ass time

[upbeat oasis]

Do at your own risk, that's all I can say

[frail sequoia]

I would know if the thing was infected bc I would not be able to even access my WiFi cause the WiFi automatically disables if there is something there that shouldn’t be, eg a hack

[upbeat oasis]

Even my XP VMs are not connected to my network.

A VM

[clear canyon]

???

[upbeat oasis]

🤔

[clear canyon]

Thats not how firewalls work

[frail sequoia]

The WiFi shuts off when there’s a hack, it’s happened before

[clear canyon]

They dont block everything automatically

[frail sequoia]

No shit Sherlock

[clear canyon]

As you proceed to say dumb shit, just stop talking about it here, go waste ur money and time

[upbeat oasis]

Fair enough

[south arrow]

[tired swift]

Oh hell naw

Ts dude is cooked

🙏

[frail sequoia]

It’s not 24/7, only for up to 30mins at a time to download stuff off a disk

[tired swift]

This machine can literally be compromised in minutes and expose your whole network

I highly advise against this

[upbeat oasis]

We tried to advise against,

But eh

[tired swift]

gotta be ragebait

[frail sequoia]

It’s not rage bait, it’s this thing

[tired swift]

Please for the love of god do not connect that to WiFi

[clear canyon]

dude aint gonna listen, he will continue to post about it until someone approves of this

[frail sequoia]

I already have multiple times tho, it’s not like it stays on when unplugged, the thing don’t hold a charge

[tired swift]

So he it waiting for confirmation bias from someone equally as incompetent

[clear canyon]

correct

[tired swift]

Got it 👍

[clear canyon]

iv said to emulate it, but thats a no go

[frail sequoia]

No I’m getting told to not do smth I’ve already done

[clear canyon]

thats an awful argument

you need to AT LEAST Vlan it off and get it away from your main network

@frail sequoia

[frail sequoia]

It’s unplugged tho with the usb WiFi adapter unplugged

[tired swift]

You should probably reboot your router, change the password, disable WPS and make sure no ports are forwarded

[frail sequoia]

It won’t turn on or have power till I plug in the charger since it doesn’t hold a charge

[clear canyon]

that does not matter, you know you can get attacked a single time, and they will be in ur network and system even after you go offline

[frail sequoia]

Plus I took out it’s hdd today

Physically can’t connect to WiFi rn

[clear canyon]

dude

[tired swift]

@frail sequoia I highly advise doing this 🙏

[frail sequoia]

Port forwarding is off and my dad controlls the WiFi

[clear canyon]

ok? that does not mean anything

[frail sequoia]

He changed the password yesterday anyways like he does every fenurary

And I haven’t connected it to WiFi since Monday

So I’m fine

[clear canyon]

ok? again, that does not mean anything

[frail sequoia]

You said change password

[clear canyon]

a hacker does not need your wifi password

no I didnt

[frail sequoia]

Nvm it was ezpi

[clear canyon]

a password wont protect you

not on a system that old

[south arrow]

[feral wraith]

till the very next day

[frail sequoia]

Pretty much, there isn’t anything that’s gonna happen cause it would of happened by now

[clear canyon]

this is a stupid argument that means nothing

[feral wraith]

Hey! you got any grapes?

[frail sequoia]

Since it was connected multiple times within the last week and nothing happened and there is no hdd inside it rn

[frail sequoia]

No, they taste like shit

[clear canyon]

again, go waste ur time and money and stop talking about it here, you have had several ppl here tell you to not do it and yet you still wanna argue, go away

[tired swift]

This means nothing gng

[frail sequoia]

Bit hard to not do smth that’s already happened tho, getting told no WiFi when it’s been connected already

[clear canyon]

Neither are that particularly great.

Get a Pentium 4 board with a PCIE slot and a dirt cheap 9800GT and you're set.

[warm anvil]

In my shed I have a Pentium pc

[buoyant bridge]

You can use openrgb if you want lightweight control or signalrgb for really detailed

[buoyant bridge]

Why not just turn the RGB off?

[cold skiff]

Bit of a mismatch there. Isn’t that like a cpu from the year 2000 and a gpu from 2008?

He’s looking at GeForce 2 era for a pentium 4

[sinful cobalt]

fern is strong bcs of both determination and talent
similar with everyone else she passed

[junior merlin]

Both are XP era

[wintry goblet]

question for my fellow nerds, i just cleaned out my pc (took everything out and cleaned it) my desktop is now booting into secure mode and making me go into the bios, once i go into the bios and select a drive it boots to my desktop like nothing happened. Any ideas on why it won’t auto recognize my windows drive and boot to the desktop when i power it up?

[cold skiff]

9800gt was Vista era. Pentium 4 was technically Windows ME, but I’d let you have 98.

[junior merlin]

No, Pentium 4 counts as early XP. They didn't go Pentium D until 05.

[void cosmos]

Can someone please help me with something

My pc isnt letting me go into bios or anything even trying to force it into bios its just a black screen the bios screen doesnt even show its like my pc is only functional when it gets to the sign in screen

Include your specs also so you can be directed / helped to flash your bios

[junior merlin]

My Pentium 4 system sucks. No PCIE or even AGP

[void cosmos]

Thank yoy

[cold skiff]

No AGP is wild

[junior merlin]

It is!

Thanks HP

[cold skiff]

Like I get PCIe… like it came with later life cycle but originally, it was released with 8x support

AGP was mind blowing compare to pci

And it came with a nice bigger price tag motherboards for a while too

Even the prebuilt my then girlfriend of that time had an agp slot

Wait no I’m thinking 2004 not 2000.

omg s3 is completely removed from dell bios

😢

[limpid ivy]

Yea I do not want to install another program just for that single purpose

[teal sphinx]

i usually just close the lid of my laptop at the end of my day and go back. and what happens is it enters s0 instead of s3, and then it would drain the battery until like 95% and change to hibernation

bring back the frickin s3 sleep please

[frigid blade]

you can probably force it

its legacy not entirely removed

[teal sphinx]

code removed from bios yo

unless you still have very old bios

[frigid blade]

oh i thought u meant windows removed it

[teal sphinx]

which i cannot downgrade to

[teal sphinx]

na i stated removed from dell bios

[cold skiff]

Dell bios is your problem

Well… more just dell

[frigid blade]

i love dell laptops

when you can get them cheap

[teal sphinx]

also my laptop is unusable without throttlestop

unless you never multitask

dell limited the tdp of the laptop to 12w when the cooler can handle 28w

the experience of the laptop with tdp set to 12w is not great....

even worse it's an 11th gen cpu not even 12th gen

[cold skiff]

13th gen dell laptops aren’t much better

[teal sphinx]

12th gen is much better than the 11th gen tho...

[buoyant bridge]

I just have openrgb setup to run at startup, turn off all RGB on my case, close itself

[frigid blade]

i have a latitude 7420 and so far no issues

[teal sphinx]

we have the same laptop

[frigid blade]

i7-1185G7

[teal sphinx]

interesting, you don't struggle with the stock tdp?

[frigid blade]

nope

[teal sphinx]

i struggled a lot with the stock tdp

but i am a programmer, so i write program and open a lot of tabs

[cold skiff]

If it’s dell bios just turn off the ecores

[teal sphinx]

frankly the 16gb ram is barely enough but that's another topic

[limpid ivy]

Didn't mention this but my pc is mounted on my shelf higher up so I do not even see or touch it at all unless I am taking it down to clean/maintenance.

[frigid blade]

i dont think any of them are e cores

[teal sphinx]

11th gen is before they do the big little architecture

12th is when they started doing those

[limpid ivy]

The one time I got a that silverstone remote that turns on the pc or resets it lol.

[frigid blade]

cmon its really not that bad

[frigid blade]

im not on it rn, i also got the 16gb one

i upgraded from a Latitude E7440

[teal sphinx]

16gb is definitely not enough for me

on my desktop i have 64gb i can easily go up to like 40gb

[frigid blade]

I dev on my main rig, so I use the laptop to remote into it

[teal sphinx]

ya kind of

so you see the parsec there

but i also do a lot of lighter stuff on my laptop

[frigid blade]

Ive been writing my own remote desktop app 😓

It lets me tend to my own needs that I cant just add to other remote desktop solutions

[teal sphinx]

that's cool

[frigid blade]

Mainly being in the browser, the client is entirely browser based

I wanted something that doesnt require downloading a client

[teal sphinx]

i have that too

[frigid blade]

parsec has WebRTC I think yah

But its not as optimized iirc

[gaunt spade]

is the ultra 9 185h good

[frigid blade]

compared to what

[grizzled frost]

about as good as the ultra 9 185h

[frigid blade]

When I say ive been writing, its 99% AI, I dont feel like doing all of that work

[teal sphinx]

how much ram ur main rig have

[teal sphinx]

well....

[gaunt spade]

what does it compare to in gaming
