[sinful cobalt]

no need to worry tbh

[lucid field]

okay if you were to recommend what aio would you recommend that’s cheapest and good at its price point?

[steady tulip]

Artic’s liquid freezer 3s probably a 240mm

[sinful cobalt]

thermalright

[rigid fjord]

you have to be trolling, 71c while under load is perfectly fine, and if the arctic p12's anre pwm pr pwm pst then you got the wrong ones

[rigid fjord]

great aio but completely not needed

you need to put this on the uk version not american

[steady tulip]

The whole thing seems a bit excessive might as well imo

[rigid fjord]

excessive would be the 420mm version

[steady tulip]

We both agree 71c is fine, we might as well suggest a lian li

[rigid fjord]

and they'll still see 71c on it with an aio

[steady tulip]

The room will heat up a bit more nicely

[rigid fjord]

temps while gaming are on the max side, and this is with a 240mm lf2

[steady tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/scatter-twitch-emote-twitch-emote-7tv-gif-14094131424741016653

[lucid field]

It’s not when it feels like a portable heater lol it was better temps when I was rocking a native 1080p monitor but now it’s skyrocketed with my 1440p monitor.

[rigid fjord]

sky rocketing would be it doing 90c+ while gaming, 71c is mild as fuck

[steady tulip]

You aren’t getting rid of the heat you’ll produce you’re just moving it away one way or another. Moving it in this case into your room

[rigid fjord]

it's always being moved into the room, it's just a matter of how efficiently it's doing that

[steady tulip]

Like I said

[lucid field]

it just feels hotter to me as I am used to my pc running at 40-60C max before.

[sinful cobalt]

ah yes 100c i havent used this technique in a long time

[river osprey]

I'm looking to sell one of my PCs and was wondering if someone could give me an estimated sale price

The main components are listed below
Gigabyte 4090
G.Skill Ripjaws ddr4 64gb 3600mhz
Ryzen 9 5900X
Asus ROG Hero X570 Crosshair VIII WiFi
Samsung 2tb 990 Pro

[rigid fjord]

sell the gpu seperately, and tbh you could get around 3k for it total

1,5-2k for a 4090

600-1k for the rest of the setup

[rigid fjord]

list your current specs properly

[river osprey]

That's what I was thinking. I did not think about selling separately but you're right probably could sell for more. Thank you!

[bold olive]

more like dare 2 fail

[sonic stream]

Is this enough thermal paste? It’s mx-7 and I’m just reapplying it after a few years

[sinful cobalt]

thats alot

[frail sequoia]

Is this too little monster?

[rigid fjord]

perfect, you can either spread it yourself or squish it between the cooler and cpu

[proper gull]

Too much

[rigid fjord]

it be 2 peas worth there

[sonic stream]

I think I used half of the 4 gram tube in just going to squish it down

[frail sequoia]

Nah

[sinful cobalt]

looks more like 3 tbh

[steady tulip]

Double it

[sinful cobalt]

I think some will get pressed out after screwing the cooler down

[frail sequoia]

I’m nearly dine the pink one, then it’s onto the white one

[steady tulip]

I just finished my white one got a mango in my office

[frail sequoia]

I’ve never tried the others, I tried the strawberry one last week so there’s 2 that I like so far

Well I’ve tried the original one, it tastes like shit (so does redbull)

[steady tulip]

I’m a fan of the mango one it’s got a ton of sugar tho

[frail sequoia]

I drink the no sugar ones rn, so it’s 399mg caffeine total and no sugar

[rigid fjord]

how much of a heart attack do you want?

[frail sequoia]

Wadafak is that

[frail sequoia]

I won’t

Daily reccomended limit is 400mg caffine, 2 monsters is 300 to 320mg of caffine

[gaunt spade]

mobo

x99 in pcie

[frail sequoia]

Onto monster number 2 in under 30mins lol

[thin bloom]

I think my pc's ram dieing? My pc crashed twice already. The first time it lost it's gpu drivers. Second it crashed and rebooted. I haven't tried doing any other game yet that does a heavy load. Ram from 2014

[rigid fjord]

#1027757333117415424

[rigid fjord]

a daughter board ( mobo but on a pcie card)

[thin bloom]

i know. i just don't feel like posting there right now. i will later after research

[rigid fjord]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/VpGHxf

[thin bloom]

And testing

[rigid fjord]

[lucid field]

can’t afford another gpu or nvme drives atm lol I already bought everything

I am swapping old components from my pc now to a new case just with new fans etc

[rigid fjord]

then just get the fans from the list i shown with that mobo

[lucid field]

I don’t want more arctic fans

arctic fans are so loud.

[rigid fjord]

reverse blade fans go on the front

[rigid fjord]

nope, they're quiet as fuck if you got the right ones to begin with

[steady tulip]

p12s should be great bang for the buck with a decent fan curve

[lucid field]

they are loud lol

[stray portal]

this is why i love linux

[rigid fjord]

this is with p12 pwm, p12 pwm pst, p14 pwm, and p14 pwm pst being used in

all arctics

[lucid field]

these fans suck

[rigid fjord]

providing you get the pwm or pwm pst versions, not p12 solely

[steady tulip]

Yeah it was the assumption

[stray portal]

no they dont

[rigid fjord]

never make that assumption

[stray portal]

i am using them rn

[lucid field]

they sound super loud

[steady tulip]

So the p12 pro’s I’ve found are louder

[stray portal]

they dont

u gotta set the correct fan curve

[lucid field]

it sounds like a jet engine when I play mad max😂😂😂

[stray portal]

set ur

[rigid fjord]

at full speed due to doing 3k rpm yes, but when you set a curve, nah

[stray portal]

set ur fan curve

[steady tulip]

Naur at around 1k they have a weird resonance

[lucid field]

not sure what fan curve to do it seems to have no effect

[rigid fjord]

are they connected to the mobo properly?

[lucid field]

yes

well they are daisy chained

[stray portal]

theyre

[rigid fjord]

that's how they're ment to be connected, though doing no more than 3 per fan header is wise despite being one of the lowest power draw fans

[steady tulip]

lol both of you did the correction just one was a bit more subtle

[lucid field]

I just connected them all daisy chained and put 1 fan header in my motherboard as my motherboard has 1 fan header slot

[rigid fjord]

if matx, then it technically has 2 minimum

[lucid field]

yes my pc is micro atx

if you saw the back off my pc case you’d have a stroke

I just slammed 4 ssds inside the basement and called it a day lol

[rigid fjord]

get remo's fan control and let it test/calibrate the fans first before setting up a fan curve

[lucid field]

I did that

[rigid fjord]

show a pic of what remo shows like

[steady tulip]

[rigid fjord]

for me

[steady tulip]

I just use bios, either way works

[rigid fjord]

this access that tbh, if it wasn't for remo's fan control i'd be using asus's aisuite instead for controlling my fan curve

well technically it's accessing the super I/O chip and reading from that

[steady tulip]

I was forced at gunpoint to use corsairs stuff for a minute

[rigid fjord]

you locked yourself into icue

[steady tulip]

Nah I was handed down icue

My brother is a hardcore Corsair fan

[rigid fjord]

ah, so forced to be locked into icue

[thin bloom]

I can't decide what ram I should get. I'm thinking of the cheapest. I don't know if I should post this in #1027757333117415424 or not? I can't think straight right now

[steady tulip]

He built this monstrosity

[rigid fjord]

well none of these, you really don't need 64gb of ram

32gb kit will be more than enough tbh

[thin bloom]

I rather be on the safe side. One of the games recommends 64gb if you're running 100+ mods. I have around 700 and my pc has a lot of stuff running in the background. I mainly think I need 64 for beamng and vrchat

[rigid fjord]

what game?

beam,ng will use a good chunk of ram, and depending on how many ai cars, all the cores of the cpu tbf

[rigid fjord]

my setup

[thin bloom]

I haven't tried run the ai cars after I got a used gpu for my pc a couple of weeks ago. It probably run like shit still since my pc has i7-7700k and it trying to run the ai and the background program's that are running

[steady tulip]

What’s with the 120mm collermaster rad 👀

[thin bloom]

Here's mine. The case fans are usually at very low speeds at idle and the cooler but running fast as of right now. Im just sitting here waiting for windows memory diagnostic to finish

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-little-rascals-black-and-white-tv-gif-7351141631919267269

I bet this will take 20 minutes to finish

[topaz shale]

i have had the most wonderful false alarm over the past two weeks

i thought i was killing my hdds but it turns out its the cable im using

[opaque silo]

that must feel great

[topaz shale]

it was two weeks of stress and dread

[opaque silo]

to not have to worry about memory loss no more

[topaz shale]

these are 14tb drives

[rigid fjord]

every Alzheimer's patients cry

[steel umbra]

Some aliexpress sellers are soo kind

Like i asked for an unique order and he was patiently waiting until i told him to send the order

[mortal mantle]

WTF happened here

(why did Radeon Settings split them like this)

[steel umbra]

Amd moment

[rigid fjord]

look at where they load from

if there's 2 lots of the same thing, it's possible you have it installed twice

or an update might have caused this

[mortal mantle]

same-ish

[keen folio]

I love a good thunderbolt 5 SSD heh

[mortal mantle]

wouldn't explain how both have the same install path of D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Wuthering Waves

[ornate harbor]

wdym

[ornate harbor]

Nobody knows

[frail sequoia]

I’m cooked

[abstract wigeon]

different launchers? or exes?

[ornate harbor]

How so

[rigid fjord]

different paths

[mortal mantle]

so typical UE4 nonsense?

[rigid fjord]

ones a loader, the other is the main client

[rigid fjord]

kinda, but like i said a moment ago

[thin bloom]

Well it windows memory diagnostic didn't find errors. Hopefully the ram just needs to be cleaned

[rigid fjord]

you should use memtest86 or occt's memory tester not windows own one

those will tell you if there's an issue straight away

window's own memory tester sucks

[thin bloom]

Okay I will do that after cleaning the ram already have the pc powered down and about to remove the side glass

@rigid fjord You think this could cause a problem. I can't tell if that is oxidized or that's wear damage from use and removal. It's like that on both sides

[cold skiff]

That’s just wear and tear

Just look at this as another example of used ram to show its normal

[thin bloom]

Yeah I was about to say that. Since I just spent maybe 2 minutes rubbing the ram sticks with a achoal wipe

I should try to wipe down other things in my pc so I don't waste the wipe

The question is what to use it on? I could clean the face plate but it's just going to get dusty again. Maybe the top of the gpu? Hmmmm

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-wtf-really-which-one-hungry-decisions-gif-13845127

[versed ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/belle-delphine-gif-22739075

[thin bloom]

I could just clean the monitor's since I never bothered to clean them before

[astral salmon]

New cpu finally came in today 😍

[thin bloom]

Now that's a little better. I'm now debating to do the right monitor since I rarely look at. It's dieing and it only holds hwinfo on it

[thin bloom]

Nice

[astral salmon]

Still waiting on the nmve drive 😩

Can’t do shit

[thin bloom]

What's the gpu?

[astral salmon]

7900xt

Upgraded everything but the gpu

[thin bloom]

I'm thinking going with the 9070 xt for my new build but as of right now I have in mine is a 5600xt

[astral salmon]

I’m keeping the 7900xt for now

Since performance wise they don’t differ much

And mine has 20gb vram instead of 16gb

[astral salmon]

And I like the way it looks 😄

[peak swan]

Wait, what card is that?

[warm anvil]

How does one clean a heatsync

[astral salmon]

7900xt

[peak swan]

Air compressor

[warm anvil]

Don't have one

[peak swan]

Uh

[warm anvil]

Will my mouth work😭

[thin bloom]

Mine or your? Mine is only 2 years old from what the seller said. Got it for 80 bucks usd. My pc originally had rx470 in it. It struggled badly trying to run steam vr but I got a 1080p monitor for Christmas. it couldn't handle it anymore so I was forced to upgrade. I would keep the old gpu in until it died

[peak swan]

And what specific one?

[peak swan]

Ye

[astral salmon]

Sapphire NITRO+ AMD RADEON RX 7900XT Vapor X 20GB

[thin bloom]

Barely. You have enough money to buy one of theses? It's a air blower

[warm anvil]

I used a dry paintbrush

[thin bloom]

At least there is no problems yet

I'm going to let it go to 20 and then stop because I want to relax in bed for a while then sleep. Here's how well the pc is doing

[craggy cove]

why not the usb bootable memtest

i had faulty ram where windows, occt and that memtest didnt detect my faulty ram, but memtest 86 did

[thin bloom]

I didn't know there was one. I been having memtest on my pc for maybe a 1 year and never knew there was a bootable one

[vast otter]

https://youtu.be/FAChh4qmg8s?si=EOd--DxT7K4ZdvYJ

[thin bloom]

It probably be a waste to buy new ram but in the long term it be worth it do with the ram being 64 gb and brand new. The old second gen ddr4 ram had a good run but it might have to stop now and retire

[frail sequoia]

About to get a third monster and the daily eeccomebded limit of caffeine for my age is 100mg, 3 monsters is 450-480mg caffeine

[ornate harbor]

[grizzled frost]

600mg*

200mg per monster, assuming the average 16oz can

plus how much you have in one day isn't a big deal, it's how much you have every day

[ornate harbor]

Doesn't make it better

[grizzled frost]

it's better on your heart to have 600mg in one day, than 100mg every day of your life

the regularity and volume matters

[frail sequoia]

It’s 500ml and it’s 150-160mg caffeine in Scotland

[grizzled frost]

Ah the non-us standard, got it

in the US the cans you see are 16oz and 200mg

[thin bloom]

Hmmm interesting. I might rise up. I rarely play on my phone. The only time I have a game running on it. Is fortnite to do bot lobbies

[thin bloom]

Hi Simon how are you? Been working on your laptops?

[tidal geyser]

yes and im now a mod of a pretty big linux distro

do not ask how as i do not fully know how i did it

[bold olive]

same here

[grizzled frost]

sim, i got my package of 12 theatrical moving lights in yesterday

so happy

[tidal geyser]

very noice

[grizzled frost]

I'm used to only using conventionals (no movement), so moving lights are awesome

[rigid fjord]

wear and tear from what i can see there, if you want to wipe it, isopropyl alcohol and a paper towel ot iso alc wipes

[rigid fjord]

9060xt or better will definitely add more performance over that gpu

[rigid fjord]

sapphire nitro 7900xt to be exact

[thin bloom]

I'm planning to have the high end ryzen 9 that does excellent with streaming and gaming. I forgot the name. I'm debating to get a 50 sears. Might go with the 9060xt so my build be cheaper since as of right now I'm spending around 3k usd

If I remember right it's the 9950x3d model since it's on my Amazon list

[pure trellis]

Poor screen

[silk gorge]

Big problem, tried to M-Flash BIOS and selected HH0 but now it’s stuck on this screen and doesn’t register any input from mouse or keyboard

Any tips on what I do now?

[peak swan]

Probably was supposed to be crushed

[silk gorge]

It should give me this pop but it didn’t appear

[silk gorge]

It’s been 10 minutes and nothing has happened

[astral salmon]

I dont have any issues with cooling

[silk gorge]

Is it safe to power off since nothing is happening?

Still on this screen after 15 minutes now

[warm anvil]

Not meant to do that, any clue what the issue is

[silk gorge]

Restarted my system it exited the m-flash index.
Trying again with a smaller SSD.
Is this the proper way to format it?

[thin bloom]

@rigid fjord @astral salmon this is what I'm planning to build. A person I became friends a few days ago said I need a aio for the cpu. I don't think so but at the time he was drunk. When I get up and out of bed later I will ask Google what the temps be on the new pc. Current build I only see the undervolted cpu and gpu hit 70 to maybe 72°C as of right now. Oh yeah I forgot to change the fans. How you see the fans are for the custom water loop I was going to do. There was going to be a 280 rad on top and on the side of it was a fan to suck air into the case from the top
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Gamer_pug43/saved/d76pmG

[red light]

How many ram do u have

[thin bloom]

I know the price is high. It was around 600 before jumping that high

[rigid fjord]

you don't need an aio for this, also a pa120se/ps120se/a620 pro se are better than the nh-d15 and cost a fraction of it, you can also go with arctic p12 pro's instead for fans

and tbh, that 1kw psu is a dumb purchase when it comes to the cpu + gpu combo

[warm anvil]

#1475853829114298429 plsngelp chat

[thin bloom]

Now I think of it. I'm going to stay air cooled since my build is suppose to be retro

[rigid fjord]

if this pc is purely for gaming, get a 9800x3d

[thin bloom]

I'm going to stream that's why I'm planning on getting it

[pure trellis]

Even 9800x3d will be overkill for 9060xt

[thin bloom]

Well future upgrades. I might go with a 50 series later on

[rigid fjord]

then a 9800x3d still and get a better gpu

[rigid fjord]

which unless it's a 5090, doesn't need anything more than a 850w psu at best

up to a 5070 you don't need more than a 750w psu, up to a 5080 you don't need more that a 850w psu

going with a 5090 you'd want a 1kw psu

5090 + i9 = 1-2kw psu depending on setup layout and if OC'ing or not

[thin bloom]

I have a 1000W gold in my current build but pc only draws 200 to 300 wats. I bought it brand new for 80 bucks usd on Amazon. It was kinda a waist of money but it was worth it in the long term since I was broke at the time with a failing psu

[pure trellis]

Oh, PSU won't be bought in new build

[rigid fjord]

yeah, you overpaid and fell for a falacy about needing double the power draw for 'efficiency'

[thin bloom]

Well problem the psu doesn't have 2 cpu power connectors and only has 2 I think gpu 6 to 8 pin connectors

[pure trellis]

That's interesting 1000w PSU

[rigid fjord]

you don't need 2 eps connectors for the cpu

1x eps cable = 334w

[ocean axle]

384*

8A per pin pair, 12v, 384w

[thin bloom]

Probably the second port is for overclocking? I just don't want instability for not having both plugged in. It probably be fine since it's going to be undervolted

[rigid fjord]

XOC for most, intel really is the only it can differ for

[rigid fjord]

at 8A that only makes it 96w

[ocean axle]

Per pin iar

Of which there are 4

[thin bloom]

I asked Google in the past if it needed both power ports but didn't give me a good answer

[rigid fjord]

it never will

[thin bloom]

@rigid fjord the reason why I want a high wattage psu is because I believe that if the gap between the current power to the max psu power is big enough the psu will last longer since it will have less of a heavy load on it and I like future proof

[storm finch]

im using emudeck on windows steam deck (I have to use windows for something specific) is there anyway to get gyro to work on windows?

[rigid fjord]

it being able to do higher wattage doesn't mean it'll last longer, it also doesn't mean future proofing will happen

[jaunty apex]

For dualshock or dualsense, DS4 windows if it works still. Steaminput maybe otherwise.. Seems Ryochan7 deleted their fork which was the previously maintained version though so be careful what you download. Lot of fakes though there might be a new fork elsewhere. Check the forks on Jays2kings, who was the original maintainer

[storm finch]

is there no way to do it natively on steam deck no controller connected?

[jaunty apex]

Oh windows steamdeck no idea. You try steaminput?

[tired bear]

cheap wam came in a weird packaging

[jaunty apex]

Found this. https://steam-deck-tools.ayufan.dev/steam-controller

[tired bear]

and hp increased price soon after we ordered by factor of 10x lolllll

[storm finch]

i thought about this but it wouldn't work because it's for x360 controllers which dont have gyro

[jaunty apex]

I'm pretty sure its for the steam controller baked into the steam deck

I dont know about gyro support of it to be fair though

[storm finch]

no it emulates 360 controllers which don't have gyro so it has no gyro support

that's what i meant

[jaunty apex]

Oh right the emulator itself might have proper support, not trying to just control a thumb stick

My bad

[mortal mantle]

LOL how does this thing use so little resources

[storm finch]

yeah its a pain theres a fix on steam os but ive got this dual screen attachment for ds games that im using and i have to use windows for the touchscreen to work

[jaunty apex]

So either you solve gyro on windows.. Or touchscreen on steamos

[storm finch]

thats what it seems like sadly

[jaunty apex]

So I'm assuming azahar is the emulator, what's this screen

[storm finch]

retroids dual screen attachment

[jaunty apex]

This article mentions touchscreen secondary display scaling issues and using the touchpads instead. Know that's not what you're looking for but https://www.notebookcheck.net/This-69-add-on-gives-your-Steam-Deck-a-second-screen-even-though-it-s-not-officially-supported.1123851.0.html

[storm finch]

yeah that is an option id still probably prefer the touchscreen and no gyro

[hallow jasper]

don't own a steamdeck but a quick 30 second google shows a lot of discussion about that over the past three years. number of people seem to have it working.

search string "steamdeck + gyro + windows"

[storm finch]

yeah and most of those are gyro to joystick/mouse input

not raw gyro to gyro

I can't find any that fix gyro to gyro on windows

but if you have found a fix in your quick 30 second google search then i'd appreciate if you could send me a link

[jaunty apex]

Keep trying this, closest I got was a tool called SteamDeckGyroDSU but it looks like that's Linux only

[storm finch]

yeah that's the fix I was talking about for steamos

[hallow jasper]

Have you thought that maybe its because it doesn't exist?

[storm finch]

I don't know hence why I'm asking here?

[hallow jasper]

We can only seek out information that exists. Most of that information points to things like this https://github.com/Valkirie/HandheldCompanion

Video of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PEP1BCgjcc

[storm finch]

i tried this but it looks completely different now and loads of people say how many issues there are with it

[hallow jasper]

if thats considered "emulation" and not "raw" then it is what it is

maybe thats just whats available unless you develop direct hardware support

If there isn't a hint of a solution on google, its likely it doesn't exist

if it did, people would be talking about it

thus making it trivial to find

[warm anvil]

Absolute beast of a pc

Got 4 sticks of ddr3

I don't suppose you have a different laptop recommendation. Lost story short the description was a lie and Amazon has compensated me around about £200.

I'm now without a laptop and need one for Monday

[kindred halo]

First aid power?

You can use powder to immediately induce blood clotting?

[frank summit]

is bitdefender good

??

[left dove]

yee, it's neat

its like the stuff embedded in quikclot but in powderized form

[kindred halo]

I should buy something similar

[left dove]

just use windows defender and dont be stupid on the innernet.

[jaunty apex]

Twitch already doesn't have best security practices lol

[kindred halo]

.. Once I get around to making my own small first aid kit

Currently I just have a small carton with 10 bandaids, two packets of disposable gloves, and medical tape (Like, the one that looks like duct tape lol)

[kindred halo]

Oh btw iirc, most Mylar camping blankets have different reflective properties on either side for different environments

I saw a video on it once, but I can't really remember

[kindred halo]

All you're missing now is a Colt Python and a sheriff hat

What do those packs include?

[left dove]

Lots

One's a ballistic trauma kit and the other is general wounds, lacerations, broken limbs, etc..

Always make sure you have multiple trauma shears

[fierce orbit]

Trying to pick between a few monitors, looking for second opinions.

and the one im leaning towards the most

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-ultragear-27-oled-qhd-480hz-0-03ms-nvidia-g-sync-amd-freesync-premium-pro-gaming-monitor-hdmi-x2-displayport-usb-black/JJ8VPZTF8C

my local Best Buy has them on open box and I can negotiate a deal with them.

I’m currently in the Best Buy trying to pick lol

[fierce orbit]

what about the ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACDNG?

[rocky warren]

That is also here and in the consideration I thought I linked it

[fierce orbit]

yeah

im getting that monitor soon

[fierce orbit]

my current is 1080p 60hz tn panel bruh

[rocky warren]

They have it listed at $600 open box

Can probably negotiate down to 400

[fierce orbit]

i got it for £350

brand new not used

[molten sleet]

bros upgrading everything

[rocky warren]

Do you like this rog more than the LG panels?

[kindred halo]

Ballistic trauma kit? What sort of treatments does it include?

As in, how're you plugging the through & through

[fierce orbit]

lmao my pc is way to overkill for my current monitor, i got a amd 9060xt 16gb with amd ryzen 7 655700x and 16gb ddr4 3200

[rocky warren]

I’m just 136k and 3090ti

So I doubt I can do much 4k gaming

[fierce orbit]

3090 is goated

[jaunty apex]

Eh a little. Could def go at least 1440p 144hz

[rocky warren]

But content in 4k would be nice but I have a 55” lg g5 above my setup

[molten sleet]

going from a 1080p 60hz tn panel to a 1440p+ 240hz oled is probably the biggest jump one can possibly make. i wish i could experience what you're about to

[rocky warren]

And nothing is beating the g5

[fierce orbit]

its 360hz lmao

[kindred halo]

R7 655700x..

New secret CPU delivered personally from Advanced Micro Devices® themselves

[left dove]

airway access, chest seals, hemostatic bandages, clotting agents, and I have a couple tampons in there too for large-bore penetrating wounds

[molten sleet]

even better lmao

[fierce orbit]

yes

[rocky warren]

The ultra gear 27gx790A does 480hz

[molten sleet]

ntm decent hdr support

[kindred halo]

LMAO I was going to mention how tampons were often included in gunshot kits

[left dove]

yeah, ya girl comes prepared

[fierce orbit]

games that are dark i wont be able to see anything

[rocky warren]

And I’d think the lg panel would look better?

[fierce orbit]

you play cookie clicker?

[kindred halo]

Also, what's airway access supposed to be?

[left dove]

I wanna get some more advanced gear but I wanna get some actual emergency medical training first

[left dove]

Yes.

[molten sleet]

iirc most oled panels rn are very similar in terms of color reproduction and response times so it mostly comes down to calibration out of the box

[fierce orbit]

W

[kindred halo]

iirc most hospitals provide free / cheap lessons?

[left dove]

and for years before this

[molten sleet]

dear lord

[kindred halo]

I should probably get lessons

[silent belfry]

kind of a newb question but am i able to place intake fans on this part of my nzxt h510? it’s covered by a panel, or should i js spend the money on a new case

[left dove]

There's a firehouse nearby that has EMS staffed so i was gonna go pester them & bribe 'em with food and money

[random silo]

uoppppppppppppppppp

[kindred halo]

Knowledge on how to prevent gunshot wounds in the first place (Sub metre accuracy at 30m distance with one round per second) is good but in the case I get knicked I'd probably appreciate knowing how to get rid of my bleeding debuff

[left dove]

tourniquet and compression bandages

at the minimum

[kindred halo]

Your best friend in bribing emergency personnel is energy related items

[rocky warren]

So I should just go for the LG 27GX790A?

[left dove]

oh that's so easy I'll fuckin' show up with 5 pizzas and a case of redbull

[kindred halo]

What if I get shot in the abdomen

Do I just hold right click and give up

[left dove]

Lots of pressure, stop the active bleeding that's coming out

[rocky warren]

I’m trying to pick between these

[molten sleet]

would've been preferable if you had the flow/mesh version but intake fans on the front isn't uncommon. i personally had this setup for awhile with 2 intakes and my temps were fine as long as you dont mind turning up the fan speed a bit

[rocky warren]

The 136k and 3090ti can handle 4k just don’t know how much

[left dove]

Both are bad but it's generally better that you bleed internally than externally

[rocky warren]

I have an issue seeing far in games I’m thinking maybe one of the 32s would help with that, but 27” just seems like the perfect size

[left dove]

internal bleeding can lead to higher clotting factors pooling together

(I am not a doctor)

[distant frigate]

Lmao. Buried. This street is impassible.

We aren’t getting out in a week

[fierce orbit]

old cover i made

[kindred halo]

Would trying to bring the wound to a higher angle (as in, laying down with my abdomen up) help in minimising bleeding thanks to gravity? Or would I just make it worse on myself

I could probably use that clotting powder you sent earlier

[left dove]

no the elevation thing is for reducing swelling and keeping blood in your head

[abstract wigeon]

nobody said it was cool last time so im posting it here again

[jaunty apex]

I mean

Its definitely skinned. And has a controller protection rubber

[plain cypress]

Idk what you want us to say bro

You phrased it as if you purchased it so that you would receive online validation

[abstract wigeon]

why else do people buy steam decks?

[plain cypress]

To game in bed

Or on the porch

[abstract wigeon]

i shouldve thought of that

[plain cypress]

For vacation

In the fab parking garage when I'm on call

[jaunty apex]

I want one because its a step away from a laptop being more portable, is cheaper for its power, and it comes with Linux.

Its a toy but also a really useful tool

[kindred halo]

Oh okay

[spark path]

am playing minecraft in a server am hosting on my computer and for some reason I am having horrible 1% lows and the game doesn't feel smooth but my cpu usuage is barely att 30%

[abstract wigeon]

vanilla?

[spark path]

nah modded

[abstract wigeon]

are the 1% lows any different in singleplayer with server turned off

[spark path]

idk i haven't tested

[latent gull]

does that mean your ram is at 94% or your Vram is at 94%? cause if your Ram is at 94% thats probably the issue IMO

[spark path]

ram at 94% i got another game running in the background too

[latent gull]

yeah, maybe test with all that turned off

[spark path]

yeah i just did it's the same

with shaders it's even worse

[abstract wigeon]

you have another game in the background

[spark path]

yeah but still

my resources are not being fully utilized

[abstract wigeon]

have you tried without game

[spark path]

yeah it's the same

I had this issue for a while i decided to ignore it but I just can't if I wanna play with shaders

and my system is not that weak it's ryzen 7 7700, ddr5-6000 cl30 16x2GB, rx9070XT

I have SAM enabled

[abstract wigeon]

oh yeah no i have near exact same system and i get 165fps on minecraft with high shaders at 1440p

7600 isntead of 7700 is only difference

[spark path]

yeah i am on 1440p also the problem seems worse in fullscreen

[plucky lodge]

half of ur msgs start with "yeah" xd

[spark path]

yeah

https://tenor.com/view/yaaa-yaaakiiid-gif-26838572

oh my days this shit is so bad

the game is so stuttery

[pure trellis]

https://www.techpowerup.com/346714/nvidia-hiring-engineers-to-optimize-proton-and-vulkan-api-performance-on-linux

[abstract wigeon]

all this to avoid open sourcing drivers smh

[tranquil wharf]

how would open sourcing remove the need to optimize

[pure trellis]

Open source drive for Nvidia a thing,heavy outdated, but a thing

[spark path]

i gotta say the leaves look weird when am moving

[abstract wigeon]

it would let the community have more understanding of the drivers and be able to optimise them themselves i reckon

[plucky lodge]

they finnaly realized their linux performance is shit?

[pure trellis]

This can be from they finally getting Linux team to Nvidia getting it own handhold with steam os

[abstract wigeon]

zero chance of nvidia x valve partnership

[tranquil wharf]

optimizing drivers, even if open source, requires good understanding of the hardware side as well, and since the hardware itself (and firmware on the GPUs) is proprietary, it would still be way easier for nvidia employees to do the optimization than outsiders

[pure trellis]

Someone needs parthenship for steam os approval?

[abstract wigeon]

at the moment yes as steamos only works great on steamdeck hardware, or legion go hardware because valve tailor made it for the hardware.

[spark path]

wtf is this?

[frigid blade]

Literally explains it

[azure topaz]

🤯

[spark path]

nah like is it recommended to keep it on or off?

[frigid blade]

Do you play games in windowed

[spark path]

well borderless

[frigid blade]

Like borderless

Then yah, keep it on lol

[ocean axle]

Leave it on

[spark path]

ok

[ocean axle]

Unless it's breaking something, there isn't a disnside

[frigid blade]

Oof, that uses DXGI though

Makes sense, it’s got better compatability compared to WGC

[spark path]

what's DXGI?

and WGC

[tall sandal]

Guys my dad has this office pc

He may give it to me, he doesn’t use it.

Its got an Intel core i5 14500, 32Gb ram and Intel arc 310

CPU is good but GPU is pretty bad, and it’s got a low power, power supply. But it’s got ram and storage.

What should I do?

[hallow jasper]

What do you want to do?

You've not said what that is so there isn't much to say just yet.

[hexed tapir]

this fucking sucks, but now you have £200 more to spend right since Amazon gave you money?

[tall sandal]

Im not sure

[versed swan]

Fullscreen games tend to have marginally better performance than windowed or borderless* but with that setting enabled idk it might be the same

[tall sandal]

I could salvage components, and build a new pc, keeping CPU ram and storage. But I’ve never built a pc before.

[lunar sail]

I'm probably going to put most of that towards something else but yeah I can spend some more if it looks like a worthwhile upgrade!

[hallow jasper]

These are protocols related to the graphics and display subsystems in Windows.

[lunar sail]

I have a beefy PC so I don't need an amazing laptop but I don't want windows lagging

[hexed tapir]

What was the og budget again 600 pounds?

[tall sandal]

The PSU on this pc is Lenovo, OEM

The CPU is good

It’s an Intel core i5 14500, that’s more than enough

[lunar sail]

500-600 now!

[lunar sail]

Oh also second hand is on the table now yay!

[tall sandal]

What kind of GPU would go best with an i5 14500

[hallow jasper]

Depends on how much you can spend, what you can physically fit, and what you can power

[south arrow]

[hallow jasper]

If its an OEM Lenovo, that last part will be variable depending on what PSU is in it and how many PCIe power connectors it has.

[tall sandal]

There is a dedicated GPU installed

[hallow jasper]

Or, if it can just be swapped out for a retail ATX PSU

[tall sandal]

But it’s small, intel arc 310

It’s bad, its like a 1050ti

[hallow jasper]

Yeah the A310 is bus powered

[spark path]

why does it look like that?

[tall sandal]

This CPU is quite solid

[hallow jasper]

Yes

[tall sandal]

It’s powerful, so it can handle much much better GPUs

[hallow jasper]

Yes

[tall sandal]

Think is it’s PSU is low Power, can’t handle any modern GPU

[jaunty apex]

Low power, not bad

[hallow jasper]

But as mentioned here, we can't really say what you should get without understanding what you can actually buy and use #tech-chat-1 message

[tall sandal]

I play some games, and do 3d work

So a good GPU is Beneficial

[clear canyon]

turn up mipmap

[jaunty apex]

I'd stick with the Arc card at least until you figure out what you really want a better GPU for and how to budget it

[tall sandal]

Yea, I do have money to spend. Thing is my laptop broke

[pure trellis]

Hi guys, I have a Lenovo legion Y540 that I use for CAD modeling at work and 16gb of ram isn't enough anymore, my boss says he'll pay for a ram upgrade, but idk if it'll support 32gb if I even manage to find some 2x16gb sticks

[tall sandal]

A few months ago, I need to think about getting one, this pc is not my own money. dad gave it

But obviously as a uni student need a laptop, mine broke

So I need to think about that first before pc actually

[clear canyon]

did you google it?

[spark path]

what do I set it to?

[clear canyon]

max

[jaunty apex]

Probably a good idea yes

[tall sandal]

Yea I found one

It’s right around my budget

I’ve earned money, not from a job, but from selling stuff on eBay, new years gifts in December from grandparents, a few hundred from my parents for getting good grades in uni, significantly better than others. So I’ve got the money for this.

[spark path]

is there any other setting that should be different from default, my 1% lows are horrible in the game

[tall sandal]

Is this good?

[hallow jasper]

with what hardware? 1080p?

[clear canyon]

thats bc of minecraft being unoptimized af, send me a pic of ur settings

[spark path]

ryzen 7 7700, rx 9070 xt, ddr5-6000 cl30, SAM enabled, 1440p

[spark path]

on sec

[hallow jasper]

default settings shouldn't be a problem

unless you started getting weird and cranking up things you shouldn't have

[clear canyon]

it can with render distance

[pure trellis]

How much ram

[spark path]

32

2 sticks

[clear canyon]

?

[pure trellis]

It was for me

[jaunty apex]

.. That's what low mipmaps does? Lol. I haven't bothered to touch that since I built my first pc

[hallow jasper]

lmao that doesn't even playback remotely smoothly on this crappy office laptop

[pure trellis]

It's lagging for me too

high bitrate 4K AV1 and 10th gen mobile does not mix

[jaunty apex]

Tensor g4 dont care evidently

[hallow jasper]

yeah, that has a bunch of other mods too I threw in, plus Bliss shaders

[pure trellis]

Does 10gen even support av1 encoding?

[hallow jasper]

talking decoding, but it doesn't have that either

zero hardware support for AV1 so its choking hard

[pure trellis]

Oh,10gen that old

[jaunty apex]

A little

[spark path]

for particles everything is on.
also am playing a modpack called RAD2

[hallow jasper]

yeah there is a chart here showing what supports what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video#Hardware_decoding_and_encoding

I probably should have DMed that

that 1080p life with near zero vertical resolution?

[lunar sail]

Oh wow looks good, is this a newer model?

[hexed tapir]

13th Gen Intel so like 2 or 3 models old

[lunar sail]

but newer than the one on Amazon?

[hexed tapir]

I think they are close

But the seller claims 1 year manufacturer warranty so it will be fine if True

[spark path]

power switch cables don't seem plugged in

[sonic ridge]

is anyone here good with logic circuits?

[vestal ledge]

Is it the pci e labeled one?

[hexed tapir]

Your right I should've added the 152 character long link too

[lunar sail]

Honestly, might go for this if I can't find anything else but from the vivobook I had for a few minutes to confirm wrong screen I was a little disappointed (physical trackpad button that's hard to press for example

I'll keep this as a reserve tho so thanks!

[true stirrup]

Show the problem

[spark path]

no it got PW + and PW - written on it

it's 2 cables

1 pin each

look at the mobo under the pins at the bottom right corner hopefully there should be labeling to tell you where each one goes

[spark path]

yeah you gotta plug all those in, look at the labeling under the pins

[vestal ledge]

Label facing up or down when plugged in?

[jaunty apex]

Dont matter

[spark path]

yup

hold on am finding you an image

[vestal ledge]

Got it!

[spark path]

look up a vid on youtube if yo need more help

[spark path]

i see you skipped a pin

[vestal ledge]

I only had two doubles

The other two were singles

[spark path]

that's fine

plug them in too it doesn't matter which first

follow the image I sent

[jaunty apex]

By manufacturer labeling ofc

[spark path]

power led -, power led +, power switch,

if am not mistaken

[vestal ledge]

Does it matter if there’s a pin exposed next to the plugged in ones?

[jaunty apex]

If it doesn't connect to anything (mostly power switch) no

[jaunty apex]

Bruh

I'm out

[vestal ledge]

What…

[spark path]

watch a youtube video gang

https://www.currys.co.uk/products/lenovo-yoga-slim-7-14-laptop-intel-core-ultra-5-512-gb-ssd-grey-10261666.html or 600 gbp if you want to max out the budget

[lunar sail]

Wow thanks again! I'll have a look at this. Why did this one catch your eye

[hexed tapir]

Yeah you need to squint or pull out a magnifying glass

[hexed tapir]

Newer CPU and it's new from a retailer and that's really it

[lunar sail]

Looks good but it's not for delivery and it's OOS locally. My keyboard being weird tonight

[vestal ledge]

DID IT!

Okay I figured it out

[vestal ledge]

So it took me a second that the bottom two prongs were for reset. So I’m not missing any prongs, I’m just dumb

I’m new to pcs

[lunar sail]

https://ebay.us/m/cICI1t

Ugh embed failure

Same model but used and £200 less

[hexed tapir]

Looks good the seller has a somewhat new account but has decent reviews and eBay has buyer protection

[fringe prairie]

how much is something with a 226v or 228v. if you don’t need the increased cpu performance that could be worth it

much better battery life than mtl-h

[lunar sail]

Sorry what do you mean idk what 226v/228v is

I'm happy to listen tho!

[fringe prairie]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/227063536007

something like this. you trade some cpu performance for significantly better battery life

lid dent but you get the idea

[hexed tapir]

The processor/CPU

[lunar sail]

Ah okay

Yea. Probs not going to get that one since it's £100 more

But I'll pay attention to that for future stuff. Idk what I'll get yet

[hexed tapir]

It's just for class work right

[lunar sail]

Yeah

[hexed tapir]

Yeah all the laptops we sent are overkill in a good way xD

sadly not many being sold here

this is the one im looking at rn

You should torture yourself and get a ultra CPU with only 2p cores

[tidal geyser]

xd

already had a 2p core 13th gen for 2 years

[hexed tapir]

2 years too many

[tidal geyser]

rip no lpe cores

me want meself a panther in de lake

[hexed tapir]

Did it feel awful when doing anything more than web browsing?

[tidal geyser]

even web browsing

[hexed tapir]

Big yikes

[tidal geyser]

rn i got a 12700h and i dono what it is but it just feels slow

my 4 big core ryzen ai 7 350 felt so much better

[hexed tapir]

The lack of powerful panther lake apu must be the issue and only cure

[tidal geyser]

and that sweet sweet 9600MT ram

no slim 7i? europe gets the nice 2.8k oled option

medion (german subbrand of lenovo) has their SPRCHRGD 14 in europe as well

Got the pcb , keycaps, stabs and diodes so far it do be coming together

[tidal geyser]

i so badly wanted to buy the same laptop i sold to the classmate as it was also a bit cheaper but sadly sold before i could try and bid

also just IPS

no wait

intel ones for 1100$ are ips while the one i was looking at was 1200p oled just like i had

[fringe prairie]

slim 7i aura is ips for you? dang

[vestal ledge]

Is it a windows 11 thing?

[tidal geyser]

maybe

no clue if your power button is broken or its windows

i would probs go for this if the igpu was just a little better

[vestal ledge]

My power button works

I’m talking about the windows drop down for it

Wait it was fast startup

Fixed it

Whhhyyy

[south arrow]

Reeee

[oak prairie]

hey i just got dual monitors, i cant hook one of them up cause i only have one hdmi port on my pc does anyone know what hdmi cord i have to buy to use both at the same time?

[south arrow]

What gpu?

[oak prairie]

nvidia geforce RTX 3050

[south arrow]

Should have at least 2 hdmi slots on it

Or 1 hdmi and 1 display port*

[oak prairie]

it has one display one hdmi and i dont have a the display cord

[frigid garden]

I have the new windows update and im really not the biggest fan of a menu popping up when I try to alt+tab. Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

[south arrow]

Ordering a dp cable would probs be the cheapest route 🍀 🐛

[hexed tapir]

Install linux

[oak prairie]

whats dp stand for exactly so i can look it up

[south arrow]

Display port*

[oak prairie]

Well.. Yeah. Its arch but optimized for modern x86 processors

[glacial cliff]

OH MY GOD OH MY OGD OH MY GOD

a wild insurance adjuster appears and said he sent my case off for final approval and will schedule time with me to go over final approval once he gets it back.

which is wild because on friday he was telling me he couldn't move forward with final approval without diagnostics from a company that would not perform sufficient diagnostics to determine the scope of my damage. I even explicitly asked him to send all non-electronics off for final approval while we went back and forth on the electronics issue, and he said he couldn't do that.

so for him to now turn around and be scheduling final review, i guess my follow up email with an additional $8,000 in damages from medical equipment, medicines outside of safe storage temps, shoes dmaaged by the grimy silty water, and additional non-electronics was enough to get him to stop delaying? we'll see.

I also have an appointment tomorrow with a lawyer for a possible breach of contract/bad faith suite, so either i finally got a win, or i have a path forward either way. wish me luck?

Sorry for the AWFUL link

This looks like another dodgy listing description what do you think @hexed tapir the price goes down to 273 for 16gigs of ddr4 and 1tb SSD

[spring latch]

its a chromebook its gonna suck period

[lunar sail]

Ah are chromebooks still bad fair

I wasnt sure

[spring latch]

unless its a 2019-2022 type where its extremely easy to disable writeprotect and mod

[lunar sail]

Every OS sucks besides Linux and Linux sucks for laptops

[spring latch]

modding usually isnt risky on chromebooks as long as you arent a moron, i have had a 100% success rate

the onyl reason chromebook modding is so easy is because theres a total of like 12 boards since 2013 which means only 12 tables to port to coreboot and the majority will work

[lunar sail]

I really need to find a laptop ahhhh. Theres just too much info

[tidal geyser]

that one says 64GB built in and a 64GB card with 4GB ram

[spring latch]

also has a celeron N4120 thats like 2019 mobile and even sucked at release for even the simplest of tasks

[glacial cliff]

only 11 ratings in the past year, half 1 star "never arived" seems liek skem

[lunar sail]

Where are you finding that info from?

[spring latch]

if you NEED a celeron for some reason, the best budget pick is an N4500, and if you need a bit of preformance, you should get an N5100

[fringe prairie]

it’s not bad for laptops 🤷‍♂️

[spring latch]

however my best pick for hyper budget laptops is a Pentium Silver N6000 or N6005, just avoid celeron

[spring latch]

lmao

[lunar sail]

1gb hard drive, 16gb of DDR4

Im pretty sure I could make a living off buying laptops off amazon, complaining about false listings and getting money back at this stage

[glacial cliff]

and they have over 10,000 product listings https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?me=A11OLVXGQ9A7L2&marketplaceID=A1F83G8C2ARO7P

[spring latch]

I guarentee its a mistake

its supposed to mean 1TB i bet

[glacial cliff]

went to the seller ratings not the product listing https://www.amazon.co.uk/sp?ie=UTF8&seller=A11OLVXGQ9A7L2&asin=B0DXV8JB8L&ref_=dp_merchant_link

[lunar sail]

It is but this confuses me even more

Hmm, 1/4r the ram, 1/5th the storage for 30% more. Sounds like VALUE

[tidal geyser]

Gonna sell everything I own for a
Yoga Slim 7i Gen 9 Aura Edition (15" Intel)

[glacial cliff]

dude is 100% a skemfront. 3 "product never arrived" in the 4 months they've been in business, 4 months in business with over 10,000 product listings and under 20 total reviews?

[lunar sail]

selling a 4GB RAM laptop should literally be illegal

[lunar sail]

Where are you finding this info?

[glacial cliff]

i provided all of the links i used for every comment i made

[lunar sail]

oh cool!

Some laptops boggle the mind. 11th gen intel flip chromebook with 144hz refresh rate

[ivory mountain]

for future links this button shortens it to a.co

[glacial cliff]

consumers are idiots, and manufacturers produce whatever they think their consumer idiots will buy/pay for for

they see the 144hz monitor on a chromebook and go "oooo good display!" and whocares if the device can push 144hz

[lunar sail]

Yeah last laptop I bought I bought exclusively because it had a replaceable battery NOT A SMART MOVE

[glacial cliff]

they know their custoemrs will eat it up

[glacial cliff]

i stuck with the LG G series of phones for way longer than they were worth sticking with them for the replaceable battery

[lunar sail]

Im just scared im going to buy a laptop with bad specs again

[glacial cliff]

i never replaced a battery

[lunar sail]

Yea

[frail sequoia]

I did a cool thing earlier

[glacial cliff]

but ye im pretty sure i finally convinced my insurance adjuster to just pay me the 15k property loss limits and stop dealing with the never ending list and receipts i was sending him

i swear if whenever he finally schedules the final approval call it is anything less than 15k ima be livid

[grizzled frost]

how do you spend 7.8k on cables and peripherals?

[jaunty apex]

8 grand PC is wild

[grizzled frost]

skip past that for a minute, 7.8k on cables and peripherals

[neon vapor]

Looks like they're trying to scam businesses/schools that buy the lowest end laptops in bulk

Typical Amazon reseller behavior

[lunar sail]

https://amzn.eu/d/04PkEsP8

Is this any good

[jaunty apex]

Can imagine Sim racing and high end vr and audio getting that expensive but

Very inefficiently i think

[fringe prairie]

it’s ok i guess

https://box.co.uk/83jn0036uk-lenovo-ip-pro-5-16akp10-amd-r-ai-7-laptop

rather this

you’ll need to install windows yourself but it’s a good laptop

[hexed tapir]

I found the fix

[lunar sail]

Its also 729 pounds which is way more than I need to spend

[glacial cliff]

includes like 2k on watercooling, a secretlab magnus pro xl sit stand desk, a 600 dollar custom keyboard, a 300 dollar custom xbox controlelr etc

the pc parts alone is like 4k or so when i bought them

[jaunty apex]

Yeah def inefficiencies

[glacial cliff]

includes a $1,600 electric scooter that can go up to like 35mph and 60 mile range

[fringe prairie]

50 gbp more for more ram and better display is worth it i’d say

[hexed tapir]

In the link everything after ? Can be deleted including the question mark

[glacial cliff]

2 $500 toothbrushes

[neon vapor]

The CTO's quotes are spinning it as we don't know why they're doing it x.x

[glacial cliff]

a $500 hairdryer

durable medical equipment (CPAP breathing device)

[lunar sail]

TBH the one I was sharing was quite over my budget already im just stuck cause like

[hexed tapir]

They make those....

[glacial cliff]

Dyson make overpriced jet air anything, yes 😄

[jaunty apex]

I can't think of any other person whod spend $500 on a toothbrush. Like bro its fucking bristles and a stick

[hexed tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/raingump-kto-kounotori-kounotoritoken-lbow-gif-16962943832134133311

[lunar sail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKshhTHyoZU&t=50s

Im watching this review at the budget section and theyre like. Yeah you can get this laptop for 449$. I click the link and its like twice that in pounds

[glacial cliff]

the second one was a replacement from phillips for problems with the first one instead of fixing the problems

the charger case on it was fked.

[jaunty apex]

Surely you'd have a warranty or smth

[fringe prairie]

justjosh posts american links

[hexed tapir]

Thank ai for hiking up the ram/ssd prices

[glacial cliff]

but like, over $1000 legit on jsut actual cables

[lunar sail]

Yeah but this is from 26th November

Literally 2 months ago

[fringe prairie]

right when it started getting bad

[lunar sail]

Oh was the hit on laptops delayed

[hexed tapir]

Somewhat

[glacial cliff]

i also just don't make great financial decisions in life tbh

[lunar sail]

I got my PC during summer, then like 2 months later it hit, then like ughhh

[hexed tapir]

Laptop ram was cheaper in the consumer side during the price hikes

[hexed tapir]

For $500 is it hands free?

[lunar sail]

https://ebay.us/m/ROBLU9

Ooo this might be good

[glacial cliff]

on the toothbrush? yeah the second one was warranty claim on the first, but when i asked what to do with the first, return it etc, they said keep it. and since the heads are repalceable, and i still worked fine as a toothbrush, jsut the chargign case was fked, it made for a great home/travel espensive toothbrush setup

[lunar sail]

ok yeah ima buy this like rn I think

[fringe prairie]

how much is omnibook 7 aero

[tidal geyser]

it has a i in the name?

anything with i should be avoided

[glacial cliff]

i mean i don't have to scrub any, and even if i only brush like once a month before going to a dental cleaning (have gotten that bad before when mental health was really bad), i still get compliments from the hygienist on how well i brush (minus the gingivitis from the gums being enflamed), so like, they're pretty good toothbrushes

[hexed tapir]

Clicks details I'm sorry what

[fringe prairie]

i saw 499 new

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236563442419?

[lunar sail]

Yeah I hate AI with an absolute burning passion but idk

[fringe prairie]

that’s an easy buy over ob5

[rigid fjord]

could the bleedstop be a reminder from what i told you about using cobwebs and sugar as a gauze?

[tidal geyser]

wat

pretty certain intel has been doing AI stuff for a LONG ass time now

[lunar sail]

I need a laptop, I hate seeing it in listings but if I get a copilot button idk ill just uninstall copilot and customise the button so its like

IDK a Miku button

[lunar sail]

Why?

The processor is AMD Ryzen AI 7

Literally AI in the processor name now fml

[fringe prairie]

better display, bq, faster, better battery life

i5 1334u in that omnibook 5 is

[lunar sail]

Ah apparently the one I showed is like. Heavily damaged

[fringe prairie]

.

[lunar sail]

Wait how lmao thats insane

also 13 inch is so nice

Ok I think youve found the one

I just need to check if the CPU "AMD Ryzen AI 5" is any good

[rigid fjord]

also, the plasters in these kits tend to suck, always worth replacing them with these instead https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0152XTBX6 & https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001RYQNGS/

[hallow sonnet]

anyone know of a good way to imbed YT video view count into an MP4 that is sortable in windows explorer? running a script to change the file creation date to the original YT upload date right now, but I'd love to have some way to sort by viewcount right in windows explorer- even if we had to put that data under the "wrong" tag

current idea is just to amend it to the end of the title, but then you cant sort by that in explorer.

thinking maybe put it in one of the dozens of random things you can sort by in explorer, like "cell phone", "copyright" or "episode number" or something. just not sure if all of those can take numbers

[hexed tapir]

The packaging of this product contains latex which may cause an allergic reaction. Smh these will kill me

[serene pumice]

did Harold get a tan?

[lunar sail]

@hexed tapir anything wrong with this laptop before I snag it up then? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236563442419
If so you'll finally be free of me, thanks for all the help!

[jaunty apex]

Think they mean the i in i5. So Core 5 instead of Core i5

[fringe prairie]

you don’t want a core 5 either lol

[rigid fjord]

i believe they do a plastic latex free version also, usually waterproof ones, but elastoplast be the only kind that i know to properly work on people and adhre to skin properly

[rigid fjord]

the igpu is lacking tbh, about equal to a 1030/1050

[lunar sail]

ah damn, not worth it then?

it is pretty expensive

[serene pumice]

You can always play Tibia the mmorpg from 1997

[rigid fjord]

not really, if you want an amd cpu using igpu only, you'd want to go for a 760/780/860/880/890m at minimum as the igpu

[lunar sail]

Yeah I dont really want AMD cpu tbh

Intel feels like a safer bet

[hexed tapir]

No fancy OLED display but the rest seems great the Ryzen CPU seems to be way more then enough for school work and light gaming

[lunar sail]

oh okay!

[hexed tapir]

School laptop he has a 9070xt 7800x3d gaming pc

[rigid fjord]

intel, you want any 200/300 cpu instead

[lunar sail]

Yeah no OLED is a bit of a shame

[serene pumice]

as long as screen on laptop is IPS and not TN, all is good & well imo

[hexed tapir]

Tbf you don't need a OLED it's just really fucking nice 😆

[lunar sail]

true

[hexed tapir]

It is ips

[serene pumice]

Plasma laptop screen

[lunar sail]

I love my 2k OLED monitor

I cant tell if the Omnibook 7 is actually better than the 5

or if its just marketing fake numbers

[hexed tapir]

Laptops are confusing

[lunar sail]

I built my own PC and ive never felt more lost than trying to find a laptop

Its insane

[halcyon steppe]

quick quastion does rx 6600 better than 2060 super

i may found the two for the same price so what should i go for if i found 6600 xt for a good price do i take it with my eyes closed and dont even think about thos two cards

[halcyon steppe]

that a direct great answer for me and thank you that you sent me that @hexed tapir

@hexed tapir i have recently canceled a buy for 2070 becuse of the memory thing a good person notify me about and becuse it have a a very weak hdmi port is randomly disconnect even after the lightest touch on the cable

so i may go with amd this time what do you think

[hexed tapir]

I would go Nvidia for dlss 4.5

All rtx cards support it

[halcyon steppe]

even the 20s cards

[hexed tapir]

Yup

[halcyon steppe]

hmmmm that intersting

[hexed tapir]

Used rtx 3060 12gb would be good for you

[halcyon steppe]

@hexed tapir i found one but for 240$ used

does it worth it

the rtx 2070 was for like 200$

[rigid fjord]

tbh, to get close to desktop performance with a laptop, you would need a way more modern laptop, however have a look at this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/366195548304

[rigid fjord]

used 6700xt would be better

[lunar sail]

IMO I think im going to say no to any 16 inch laptop

I just, dont need a laptop that size at all

[hexed tapir]

But dlss 4.5

[lunar sail]

Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 155H

Does this mean 15th generation?

[hexed tapir]

Hmm I would buy a arc b570 over that for $250 new

[hexed tapir]

Tbh idfk Intel changed the core i5/7 series to ultra after 14th gen

[rigid fjord]

yes but also no, it's 15th gen if you was to continue how intel was naming their gens but it's 1st gen for core ultra line

[halcyon steppe]

@hexed tapir i dont know if we have that in the market they only know the famous ones

[hexed tapir]

What country are you in

[halcyon steppe]

i only want a 1080p card nothing crazy

[lunar sail]

I assume 8gb ram is just. A complete no go

[rigid fjord]

core ultra is after 14th gen, and 100 series is basically 1st gen for that, it's quite bit of a hard pass
