[halcyon steppe]

you wouldnt like it syria

[rigid fjord]

16gb or better if you're running on igpu only

[hexed tapir]

Oh get the 3060 then for $240 and wait till the civil war is over 😆

Then buy a rtx 5090

[lunar sail]

https://ebay.us/m/3dwEG0
How about this

[halcyon steppe]

🤣 i think that what i will do

[rigid fjord]

6700xt for 200-240 and have better performance, wouldn't worry about dlss

[lunar sail]

305 pounds, 16gb ram Intel® Core™ 7 150U Processor

[halcyon steppe]

if i sell my self i cant afford it

[rigid fjord]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/127662551903? i would look at this instead

[lunar sail]

This one is literally double the price and has no sound

Why recommend this

[hexed tapir]

If only amd released fsr4 for it

[halcyon steppe]

i will look for that in the market see what price it have here

[hexed tapir]

For a windows laptop get 16gb , even apple stopped selling 8gb models

[lunar sail]

Yeah I think im going for this one https://ebay.us/m/3dwEG0

[halcyon steppe]

@hexed tapir @rigid fjord tha nk you both for your help

thank*

[lunar sail]

1TB (kinda unnecessary), Intel I7 15th Gen, 16GB DDR4, 305 pounds

[rigid fjord]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/117015224064? this instead then

[lunar sail]

double the price

[hexed tapir]

Nonono only 2 regular performance cores

[lunar sail]

How do you know that?

Isnt it a I7 15th gen why would it have so few cores

[hexed tapir]

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/236795/intel-core-7-processor-150u-12m-cache-up-to-5-40-ghz/specifications.html

[lunar sail]

Damn

[rigid fjord]

because this is a hybrid, it's 2 p cores with a few e cores

[lunar sail]

Ah 2p cores 8 e cores

is that not good enough?

[hexed tapir]

Go 4P cores then any number E cores for Intel

[rigid fjord]

7840u = 8c 16t with an igpu you can actually game on if you wanted

[lunar sail]

https://ebay.us/m/gmYc7T
467 pounds 16GB DDR5 Snapdragon X Plus, 512GB SSD

[rigid fjord]

also, 7840u = 60-65% more performant than the 150u

windows for arm ain't so good, i'd pass on it

[molten night]

Guys I want the water bottle so baddd omg

I missed out!

[lunar sail]

Isnt it getting better fast with steams ARM development

[rigid fjord]

that's different tbh, still a pass currently

[orchid spruce]

Is it me, or is my PS5 Pro dumping that much heat into my room to warm it up significantly.

I have to wear summer clothes while it’s winter 💀

[lunar sail]

Yeah seems like it unfort

We roll again

[rigid fjord]

@tidal geyser https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/358225214489 hmm, if i'm correct the hard shutdowns on this is ashort on a ram stick as they've had to remove one, if so, this is a quick cheap fix

[rigid fjord]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/358218730900 slightly older amd cpu but with an rtx 3060m inside also, can add extra storage to it due to 2x m.2 slots and uses sodimm ram as it has 2x ram slot

bonus of the 3060, is if you're doing anything regarding cad/3d rendering

[hexed tapir]

But we need all day school battery life

[lunar sail]

What about this instead https://ebay.us/m/Ss1slm

4p 8e

16gb ddr5, oled

[rigid fjord]

can mux and disable the dgpu and just use the igpu on it

[lunar sail]

Comes to 506 gbp for me. Which is like. My absolute limit but it ticks the boxes from what I can see

[rigid fjord]

13th gen i7, going to be power hungry when it comes to battery life

[lunar sail]

I dont need it to last more than 3 hours really

[rigid fjord]

[spring latch]

month 2 of using windows 7 im able to report im fine

should probably activate but I dont want too

[lunar sail]

oml its 2.8k touch screen

[grizzled frost]

mate that can run win11

[lunar sail]

Thats actuallly really nice

[spring latch]

??

not officially

i mean neither does windows 7 but I dont wanna use shitdows 11

[rigid fjord]

should be using win 10 at least with that cpu

[spring latch]

abseloutely not

[rigid fjord]

eol'd but still getting extended security updates

[hexed tapir]

Looks good a nice display to look at while at school and over kill performance for Google tabs and Microsoft word

[rigid fjord]

absolutely should

[grizzled frost]

win10 would be better than win7

[spring latch]

also using an hdd I feel like that'd be a terrible experience

[grizzled frost]

no worse than win7

[lunar sail]

Yeah it should be powerful enough to actually run windows 11 lmao. No complaints then?

[grizzled frost]

it’s an equally awful experience

[spring latch]

maybe if I wanted to run modern software but about 95% of my software runs

[lunar sail]

Im going to pull the trigger on it now if so

[grizzled frost]

win10 would be more secure than win7

[lunar sail]

Cause ive got to get my beauty sleep

[hexed tapir]

For your use case you should have no problems

[spring latch]

well no shit

[hexed tapir]

A lot of old atms still use Windows xp

[lunar sail]

Alr im doing it

[spring latch]

and 7

[grizzled frost]

given your continued use of win7, it seemed prudent i mention it

[grizzled frost]

not exactly comparable usecases

[rigid fjord]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/358197883053 better than this

[grizzled frost]

they’ll be running custom versions of winxp/win7

plus financial transactions use end to end encryption

[spring latch]

would you like me to clarify that I understand that if im really still using windows 7 I understand the risks

[spring latch]

oh and they are certainly only on a LAN without external internet access

[rigid fjord]

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/241749/intel-core-ultra-5-processor-225h-18m-cache-up-to-4-90-ghz/specifications.html <- much better battery life when it comes to intel mobile cpu's @lunar sail

[grizzled frost]

you’re free to make whatever decision you want, free country

[spring latch]

except those outside banks

[hexed tapir]

Hat and I are posh we only want OLED displays

[lunar sail]

indubitably

[spring latch]

I know a guy who still uses windows 98 and shit because he doesnt "wanna be tracked". I think its bullshit but props to him for making it work

he has like 65 old ass games

[tidal geyser]

no clue how the shutdowns look like, could be something else overheating

from ssd to whatever else

i myself am dealing with a hp that is overheating since the cooler for whatever reason stopped touching the cpu

[rigid fjord]

true, though they've repasted it and it's apparently not a case of temp issues, it's looking like a power issue, and as a ram stick was removed, looks like there was a faulty stick causing a short

[tidal geyser]

nope

shorts do not really happen like that or well is SUPER uncommon

[rigid fjord]

rare sure, but only takes 1 die on the stick to cause it tbh, what the discription states in image

[hexed tapir]

SSD not included smh

[left dove]

This shit goes up so easily oml

[rigid fjord]

i know i could swap the screen out for their 165hz 450nits one used in the pro model of this specific gen

[lunar sail]

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the help with finding a good laptop (guiding me on the specs etc) especially @hexed tapir Ty very much. New laptop will be here in 1-2 days it's 1 am here and I've been looking for laptops for many hours now so I've got to sleep! Thanks again

[hexed tapir]

Super easy once you find the peel corner

[rigid fjord]

easy replacement for me, and if i do it right, i could have 3x ssd in this specific model

[frigid blade]

Nice fix

[left dove]

Oh no I'm using a staple gun it's way easier

[hexed tapir]

Oh lmao

[left dove]

Hence why some corners are a little mushed until I fix them

[frigid blade]

That’s from a laptop with a 13900H, $280

[rigid fjord]

someone fucked up the traces there a bit, guess they was heavy handed with it

[frigid blade]

Yah, they bypassed it

But I would be scared of them touching

[rigid fjord]

below 600 i doubt i'd ever see a laptops with oled in

[frigid blade]

Need something in between them

[hexed tapir]

Why no adhesive?

[left dove]

it'd wreck the paint and i don't want to stand there for 10 minutes while the glue cures

only for it to fall off in a month

I'd rather patch a couple hundred tiny-ass holes

[tidal geyser]

could be bad slot or bad ram power supply

[left dove]

than redo an entire ceiling

also I hate glue fumes, it makes me so nauseated

[hexed tapir]

I have mine on my door been great so far

[rigid fjord]

why not thin ply with it stuck to, and a couple screws mounting it?

[left dove]

because what if I wanna pull it down and redo it if I rearrange the office?

[rigid fjord]

3mm ply be easy to disguise

[hexed tapir]

Mine are the 3m style peel and stick

[rigid fjord]

hence the ply, can be easily taken down and way less holes to patch

[left dove]

okay but the tiles are still glued to the plywood..

[lunar sail]

Wdym there's plenty of OLEDS under that price for laptops

[steel umbra]

Vivobook oleds used to be $400

[hexed tapir]

Did you install it so you would echo less when yelling at @verbal prawn when he does something stupid?

Like get a logi truck stuck in a tree in squad

[steel umbra]

Portable oleds are like $100-200 (refurb-new) so $600 oled book doesn't seem unlikely

[left dove]

nah i've become like

a popular idiot on secondlife so when I do my voice stuff at loud volumes I'd like it to bleed not so much into the outside world

[verbal prawn]

I have never done that

[left dove]

y'know, when you're screaming about politics and trans rights as a vague stand-up routine you don't want a bunch of reverb

[verbal prawn]

what are these lies that you've been spreading

[verbal prawn]

imma be honest i have never done that

[left dove]

well yeah because you're not me

[odd marsh]

surprising tbh

[left dove]

[hexed tapir]

Getting thick heavy sound proof curtains for the window?

[left dove]

I was gonna actually 3-way stack some tiles in the window

'cause then I can just edge tack em to the windowframe at an angle

[odd marsh]

I wanna get those wooden slat acoustic panels but renting

[hexed tapir]

https://a.co/d/0dDCx54Y I have yet to use it since my sisters family isn't here yet but it's only $30 and huge

[lunar sail]

I'm sorry... https://ebay.us/m/3PMs1e
Is this version better

It's £60 cheaper and has an I5 which should mean it lasts longer. It doesn't seem to be different in any other way

But it's white and it looks like the trackpad is better

[rigid fjord]

an i5 doesn't mean it'll last longer, it's that it's 13th gen, they're not known for good battery life

[lunar sail]

Ah my understanding was that I5 had better battery life but slightly worse performance

[verbal prawn]

i find the scale going to the 9995wx so funny for no reason

[rigid fjord]

for intel, if you want decent battery life you want core ultra 200/300 series currently

[rigid fjord]

it's funny, but more on the fact of multicore

[sinful cobalt]

258v is the core ultra 200 best battery performer

with the sole exception of panther-

[rigid fjord]

but finding it in a £500 laptop might not be so easy

[lunar sail]

Oh wow yeah that's a noticeable watt decrease

For more performance

[lyric vector]

Can I get some help fixing my bios so my desktop can boot?

It keeps saying disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter

[sullen obsidian]

you'll probably get better help by making a post with all the details in #1027757333117415424

[left dove]

its BARRY

hello Barry Bossman

[lunar sail]

Yeah unfortunately either you sacrifice the screen to 1920*1080 60hz or spend like £300 more.

Actually I don't see any running the core ultra 200/300 series with more than a 1920*1080 60hz

[lunar sail]

Holdup your onto something with this. This one is OLED

[sinful cobalt]

Why torture urself even more with 60hz

[lunar sail]

You've made a really good suggestion ahhh

I might buy this one and cancel the other one

It's white tooo

[grizzled frost]

i’ve spent too much time diagnosing audio issues, i thought 60hz was referring to the us standard power frequency

[sinful cobalt]

oknice

[rigid fjord]

ips panel on it according to hp, still a better battery life and a greater amount of performance

[lunar sail]

Yeah I figured that out a few mins ago. Decided to go for it anyway

It's for productivity not for gaming so I want something that will last

Thanks

Plus it's also like £20-30 cheaper and brand new not returbed C quality

And it's white which will look so much better when I accessories it with some stickers

[rigid fjord]

secondhand, it's £600 new

[lunar sail]

https://ebay.us/m/Zzbod3

My understanding is that they bought it and never used it for 6 months

But yeah normally £650-700

[rigid fjord]

correct, it's still classed as secondhand as it's not direct from hp/companies like pcworld/curry's

[lunar sail]

I'm so poor now I've got like

50 refunds processing

[grizzled frost]

why would you possibly have 50 refunds processing

[rigid fjord]

and i'm heavily considering this legion 5 for £250

[lunar sail]

I had to transfer money out of my rent savings temporarily lmao (I'm not worried I'm ahead by a chunk)

[lunar sail]

It's an exaggeration but it's £469 laptop, £66 warranty, £504~ laptop, and a bonus £180 in gratuity from Amazon and like £240 from somewhere else

[lunar sail]

So approx £1,307 in pending refunds christ

[rigid fjord]

am4 moments, either get a hair dryer or use a ruler to carelfully lever it off

[upper reef]

its safe lol, just scared the hell out of me

[teal sphinx]

Does price of thermal pad matter that much? Or are generic thermal pad good enough

[rigid fjord]

blue for where ssd's can go, red for ram, and black for wifi card, the fun parts of messing with this specific laptop

[rigid fjord]

less of an issue than their thickness, and tbh there's only a couple worth getting

[teal sphinx]

Like really cheap generic one?

[rigid fjord]

look up thermalright odessey's, gelid solution pads and arctic thermal pads

[teal sphinx]

I mean I am just curious like if the bottom of the barrel stuff are good enough

[rigid fjord]

they generally have a poor thermal conductivity rating

[teal sphinx]

You reckon it's not enough for vram?

[rigid fjord]

it might but i'd look into getting something decent

something that has around 8.5 W/(mK) is more ideal compared to something that's 1-4 W/(mK)

[teal sphinx]

Meanwhile thermalright and gelid seems to be claiming 15-17

[teal sphinx]

I wonder what's the difference between Igorlab's result and manufacturer provided specs

[left trellis]

My PC keeps using my gpu even if its plugged into the motherboard, how do I force it to use iGPU

[teal sphinx]

Since the thermal conductivity are always much different

[left dove]

Ugh it's turning out so goood

I gotta fix some of those edges but like

DAMB is it working to absorb sound (and light)

[verbal prawn]

was botta say some of those edges

[left dove]

yeah some of it hasn't expanded correctly but a little spritz w/ water and hot air will puff it up

[lunar sail]

Does a copilot key cover exist

Im planning on rebinding the button and then putting some sort of cute cover over the key

[swift stream]

[pulsar root]

do people have speakers for their PC setup or only use headphones? (personally, most of the time I use my monitor's built-in speakers since headphones get annoying)

[rigid fjord]

i have both, i also use a full keyboard

[tidal geyser]

hey it looks like my legion

also rauko its 3am for you, go to sleep

[rigid fjord]

if it's a gen 5/6/7 it'll be like this, gen 8/9/10 it differes

[sinful cobalt]

just use duronaut ez

[wanton trail]

This sometimes pops up when I open Instagram, this didn't happen on my A12 but happens on my A36, can anyone tell me as to why

[livid perch]

Is this viable

[cold skiff]

What do you mean?

[spring latch]

b

im bored

[spring latch]

"image may not exactly match product"

massive red flag

[cold skiff]

It’s 50 bucks

[grizzled frost]

only if you are fond of fire

[spring latch]

and theres probably more red flags I missed

unless the length isnt well depitcted, thats just not big enough

[cold skiff]

For 50 bucks you can’t get anything that won’t set on fire tbfh

[grizzled frost]

do you even have a 240v 20a circuit?

[spring latch]

exactly

[grizzled frost]

PSU is fine, it’s the breakout board that will likely start a fire

[spring latch]

not enough capacitors and what not to properly handle however much PCIe power is just going in I bet

on the breakout

[grizzled frost]

it theoretically shouldn’t matter

but i don’t trust that board to not just flat out melt

[cold skiff]

He’s from Turkey. He don’t have the wiring for it

[spring latch]

capacitors are still amazing to smooth out current even if its technically already smooth

[grizzled frost]

those are on the PSU

the breakout board is essentially just a glorified cable

[spring latch]

I guess so

I still think heat would be a concern

[grizzled frost]

already mentioned that

[grizzled frost]

you haven’t heard a server PSU fan then

those things scream

[spring latch]

im talking about the breakout board

[cold skiff]

In theory in Turkey he has it, however like in the UK requires an adjustment to wall outlet. The board itself is fine

[grizzled frost]

i mean heat is a concern in the same way melting is a concern

[spring latch]

got it

[grizzled frost]

you need 240v 20a for that PSU

[cold skiff]

Yep and he’s 240v 13a same as me apparently

So a simpler adjustment than most

[grizzled frost]

that means 2496w max continuous load

[grizzled frost]

requires all new wire runs for that circuit

wires rated for 13a ain’t gonna be happy with 20

[cold skiff]

It all depends

[grizzled frost]

depends on if your install electrician decided to double his copper cost for shits and giggles or not

[cold skiff]

Kids these days will never know what it feels like to see this

Nor will they know the pain of screwing down connectors that unthread

[grizzled frost]

did AI make this diagram, or just a dumbass

the mouse arrow is pointing a fan

[formal sonnet]

Given that this looks generated by Machine Learning (as evidenced by many of these ports not looking at all like they should), I dare say kids these days might very easily experience this. 🤣

[cold skiff]

I stole it from Facebook and it looks AI

[grizzled frost]

the “s-ideo out” is pointing at nothing

“micchone”

[cold skiff]

The ports on the top right were an instant give away

Also the fan for a mouse too

[grizzled frost]

wdym, you don’t install a serial port card into your 40mm fan mount?

it was all the rage back in the day

[cold skiff]

But damn. We still have VGA on some of our monitors at work and every single one of them has atleast one side unthreaded

Those were the days

[grizzled frost]

most of the monitors i see at my jobs have monitors with VGA

[pulsar root]

same

monitors still use vga if cheap enough

[grizzled frost]

usually they have other connectors in addition, but super common to see VGA there too

[cold skiff]

Our newer offices all use HDMI

[pulsar root]

congrats, you have money

[cold skiff]

I have no money

[pulsar root]

start asking

all that budget going towards expensive hdmi monitors

[grizzled frost]

the monitors for the 10k dollar lighting board i use at work, uses DVI

the monitors came included

even worse, they use DP to DVI dongles

once someone becomes that ubiquitous, it sticks around for ages

especially given it just works

it may not work amazingly, but by god does it work

[granite comet]

Do I buy a 4tb ssd now or pray they go down in price. I leave my fate in your hands, mr first response

[left dove]

thanks I hate you and it

[cold skiff]

I asked for a 4k monitor so I didn’t need 2 monitors and my laptop monitor. I got politely declined

Problem is I’m back at the oldest office and they don’t wanna change anything as that office will move within the year somewhere else in the building

I’m going to be at our newest site when it’s built and they’ll be giving us 1080p/120hz monitors but that’s still not good enough tbh

[grizzled nova]

dont buy now

wait 5 years

[grizzled nova]

who’s the devil and who’s the angel on the shoulders

[snow cedar]

my birthday's coming up soon so i need your guys' help
i have the option to pick between a zephyrus g14 with a ryzen ai 9 hx 370 with a rtx 5070ti
OR
a thinkpad p14s gen 6 with a ryzen ai 9 hx pro 370 with igpu radeon 890m
i do on the go editing but then again since i travel a lot i need battery life
which one should i get and which laptop has the least compromise for my needs

[snow cedar]

depends on how bad you need it

[granite comet]

Quomodocunquize responded first 5 more years of my 2tb ssd

[snow cedar]

good job quomodocunquize

[granite comet]

Now to ponder buying a 20tb hdd 🤔

[snow cedar]

now the question is

will it LAST 5 more years

what brand is it

[snow cedar]

found a pretty good deal on seagate certified refurbished drives on ebay

my 10tb drive has served me well for 2 years so far

[silk grove]

Well

I think that unless you really really edit a lot without power available you should go with the zephyrus

Having a 5070ti is very useful for editing if you have high quality footage

Which if you can afford a 5070 ti in a laptop

I think you probably have a rig that gets high quality footage

It would also feel much better than the Lenovo.

And you might be able to squeeze the editing time to whenever you have power

But if you really and I mean really need the battery life then you have to go with the thinkpad

So pick the zephyrus unless you really can’t afford to due to the battery life

[buoyant bridge]

today I met someone who has NEVER delt with adobe products in their life

they are the happiest person working in design I know of

FUCK adorbe 😭

[high elm]

i swear this is the fastest steam can do normally

ive only seen 3gbps on 10gig like once

[pure trellis]

Not great connection to steam servers

[high elm]

i live in Singapore

the server is in Singapore

the server is likely less than 20KM away from me

[sinful cobalt]

im getting 10gbps that I can only use 3.5 of next month and the china table

[high elm]

ya 10 gig is the most economical

[bold olive]

why the f is zoom laggy on ubuntu

[sinful cobalt]

as a professional idiot that takes public transport i assure you taking the outside line is the best method of overtaking them

[pliant edge]

hahah roast me

[sinful cobalt]

theres nothing to roast due to lack of ingredients

[pliant edge]

the 4 year out of date bios.

[sinful cobalt]

if it aint broken dont fix it

[high elm]

i have a privately hired driver that takes me to work everyday in a mercedes

sometimes a volvo

[sinful cobalt]

same bro

[peak swan]

Thats been returned at least a dozen times holy

[high elm]

ya different driver everyday too

[tidal geyser]

i think iv given up the hope for a panther lake laptop

[sinful cobalt]

its never over

[bold olive]

i swear it comes out in my market after gta6

[tidal geyser]

i hate that 200v did not come with lpe cores

[abstract wigeon]

i was holding out hope aswell, curret laptop is fine until I open gmail is it grinds to a stop

It does have 32gb ddr4 though so im clinging onto that

cus 32gb ddr5 laptops yikes

[tidal geyser]

rn im using a 12700h acer with a REALLY nice display but i kinda wanna do VMs for certain stuff and 16GB aint cutting it

i would also like some way faster ram

and the big thing rn, this thing only lasts like 3hrs on battery

[abstract wigeon]

ive got a 10510U with a very very bad display, but 32gb makes it usable

[abstract wigeon]

even on linux? yikes

[tidal geyser]

iv sold so many things

[abstract wigeon]

i charge mine like once every day, but everything i do is done in a browser

[tidal geyser]

the fan profile is also set so it turns on when the cpu is at 30c

but since linux is so efficient it just pulses

[abstract wigeon]

no way of changing it?

[tidal geyser]

no way

that i know of at least

well i could edit the bios but eeehhhhh

[tall sandal]

Just bought a new laptop

Yk mine broke a few months ago

Due to bad MSI hinges

Got this, reviewers give good reviews

Has good thermals

[tidal geyser]

zen 4

[tall sandal]

Nah the CPU is good enough for me

[tidal geyser]

yea zen 4 is fine

[tall sandal]

I don’t need crazy power, it’s got good temps

[tidal geyser]

but i want that day long battery life

[abstract wigeon]

the new ryzen 'ai' series laptop chips look pretty interesting

[tall sandal]

I always used my laptop plugged in

[tidal geyser]

nah the gorgen point are just so bad

[tall sandal]

GPU has full power

[abstract wigeon]

is intel still way ahead in battery life on laptops?

[tidal geyser]

its such a sad refresh

[tall sandal]

115w RTX 5060

[tidal geyser]

yup with pantherlake at least

[tall sandal]

So it will preform well

[tidal geyser]

pretty certain the 258v i want should be about or better than anything amd offers

while having the igpu of a 880-890m

and should be able to do MFG now

[tall sandal]

Also another thing, for future of course

[tidal geyser]

o no

[tall sandal]

My dad has this office pc he doesn’t use

May give it to me, it’s free. It’s got a core i5 14500, powerful CPU

[abstract wigeon]

you game on laptop?

[tall sandal]

GPU is an arc 310 lp, maybe in the future I can upgrade idk

For now obviously don’t need to, as I got this laptop. But still I should utilise this pc

My dad doesn’t use it, he was given it, but he doesn’t need it he told me

selling gaming pc? how come

[tidal geyser]

big loud and most of the time the hardest game i played was civ 6

[stray portal]

Nooo you shouldve turned it into a server

[abstract wigeon]

neat good luck then

[tidal geyser]

i already have a ml350 gen 10 with Ilo

aka ilo is OOB

[abstract wigeon]

you ever tried a gaming handheld?

got a steam deck last week and have barely touched my pc

now i just laptop for work and deck for play

[tidal geyser]

kinda just want one device for everything

[abstract wigeon]

yeah that would be nice, I like to keep things as separate as possible so that I can properly switch my mind from one to the other without any mental overlap. But im probabily the minority

[tidal geyser]

i just let my mind think of everything all the time all at once

[abstract wigeon]

I feel im able to work better with a device I only associate with work, and relax more with a device I only pick up to relax etc

wtf im getting way more fps on a 12700h

[azure topaz]

just up to the cpu

not very easy to download and decompress 2Gbps of files per second

[tidal geyser]

floppa me has given up on the panthers in the lake dream

[azure topaz]

nvl being 2027 is an L

but why

[tidal geyser]

wait really nova is 2027

[azure topaz]

yeah i think so

what i was told anywho

[tidal geyser]

rip

good for me means buying a 258v aint gonna mean it gets fully and utterly replaced in a few months

[cold skiff]

What specs ya selling.

[tidal geyser]

7800x3d 7900 xtx 96GB ddr5

[cold skiff]

Dayumn.

[tidal geyser]

and today im gonna start listing some of my 1TB drives

and test some more ram then list that too

[gritty thistle]

Can someone give me a basic high level description of what home labbing is?

Is there an Ltt video on the subject?

[cold skiff]

Discord is not the search engine you’re looking for. That is Google.

[calm idol]

youtube also has a search function if you are specifically searching for videos

[tidal geyser]

homelabber is nothing super specific

i see it as someone who likes to tinker mostly with computer hardware and servers, minimum needs to be something you could call a server

[warm anvil]

I'm so confused

My keyboard and hdmi wasn't working but I moved my laptop a little then it worked

Then when I put it back where I keep it the external keyboard doesn't work again

[topaz shale]

networking, virtual machines, storage, severs, whatever you want. if its based on computers, can be put in a rack, you can call it a home lab

note: does not need to actually be in a rack

[warm anvil]

Dude this sucks

[ocean axle]

How much?

[topaz shale]

thats a lot of ram

[tidal geyser]

the ddr5 i have listed for 1400$ :3
7800X3D 370$
XTX 1000$

keep in mind this is NOK converted to USD with 10nok=1USD

[plush wren]

14000 nok

[ocean axle]

1400 or 14000 for the RAM?

Oh, that's USD converted

I'm real glad I don't need to buy anything here (Sweden)
At least not yet, fuck RAM prices.

[tidal geyser]

yes

and due to the automated systems its like 5k new

[ocean axle]

$5k USD for that new? Wtf

Or 5k nok? In which case, where?

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-cat-surprised-gif-5843462

[tidal geyser]

usd

50k nok :3

[ocean axle]

Yea, that's sounds about right

[tidal geyser]

poggers its gone on sale

its so much cheaper now

btw that is my kit

[warm anvil]

The usb c cable that came with my keyboard broke so now I'm using a white cable with a black keyboard 😭

Like early 2010s

[tidal geyser]

It has a am4 desktop socket

[cold skiff]

Fairly accurate for 2010s

[tidal geyser]

Iv even replace the cpu from 3950x to 3600

[peak swan]

Damm

[cold skiff]

Why ya replace it

[kindred halo]

Oh there's a benefit to AM4 I forgot about
TPM 2.0!!!!

Once I upgrade to AM4, I'll be able to play Battlefield 6 yippee

[tidal geyser]

3950x big hotty

Also I sold it for 300$

[shadow zealot]

guys

very good looking game at 50 fps or ass looking at 150fps

its a single player life changing game

@random junco Remember Lebanon Store? The guys with the 6800?

They're yelling at me again 💔

[rocky warren]

I ended up buying an open box PG32UCDP

how the hell does this thing have 208 hours

in 15 day return window??

my 3090ti isnt even close to good enough for this monitor lmao

[hidden frigate]

Got a bit of a weird issue here. My PC will randomly shut off (the same way holding power button down shuts off the machine) and reboot itself, buuuuut this only happens when either Idling, or doing some low intensity task like watching youtube or chatting on discord. When I boot up a game, it runs perfectly fine with 0 issues and I can't figure out why.
I've turned off C-states and checked windows power plan, but it's still doing this. I'm having to run a modded minecraft singleplayer world in the background if I want to do anything non intensive on the PC

[pure trellis]

Windows corruption

[hallow jasper]

This is not the channel for this, but thats a common symptom from someone with an unstable undervolt (AMD Curve Optimizer), or could just be memory.. I hate just spouting off guesses, something like this requires proper troubleshooting.

[warm anvil]

hell yeah

i need an older monitor and kbm for this bad boy

[peak swan]

Damm, fire

Intel celeron lol

[warm anvil]

pentium

[peak swan]

Somehow better

Mine is celeron

[warm anvil]

its the dell optiplex 780 from 2009

picked it up for free like 2 years ago but it was broken

[peak swan]

Neat

[warm anvil]

i fixed yesterday it just needed new ram

[peak swan]

This iMac was our actual family computer up to 2017 lol

Now I put other guts in it

[warm anvil]

nice

i gotta upgrade this pcs ram and give it a gpu

im gonna get 16gb of ddr3 and an amd r5 240

[peak swan]

My old desktop still has correct time to this day (photo from last night lol)

8gb ddr3 in that thing

[warm anvil]

i replaced the cmos battery on it yesterday and the time was still a year off

[peak swan]

My current PC isn't even really bettet

[warm anvil]

for some reason nts doesnt work on it so i had to set the time manually

[peak swan]

Lol

[warm anvil]

4 1gb ddr3 sticks

[peak swan]

Damm

The smallest ddr3 I have is 2 gig sticks

[warm anvil]

nice

i dont have like any spare parts

[peak swan]

Biggest I have is 16gb ddr3 server sticks

[warm anvil]

i have like 2 broken laptops from ages ago that use ddr4 but i dont have the right screwdriver size to open them and harvest it lmfao

[peak swan]

Lmao

Ram is held hostage

[warm anvil]

true

[peak swan]

I have some ddr4 but only laptop ddr4

[warm anvil]

nice

[peak swan]

Which sucks cuz I can't use my i7 6700k

[warm anvil]

i have like no money but soon as i do im buying a bluetooth dongle a gpu and some ddr3 for the dell laptop

im planning to make it an emulation box for older games

[peak swan]

Cool

I mean I have basically no money either

I'll sell a few things and then fix and upgrade my laptop and get a new phone

[brave brook]

you have positive Paypal balance ? They might lock your account at any time /s (Paypal horror stories)

[steel umbra]

^ i had bad experience w paypal

[brave brook]

i had no bad experience, but i only use it to send money (to ebay etc), not to receive money

[tidal geyser]

bye bye stuff

i think i might be able to just make it when it comes to buying that laptop i wanted

[steel umbra]

they let my unverified when i was not of age to use pp account slide for a year or more
and then they restricted verified legit pp because i was buying from a different region at retail

[high halo]

I have an issue when I started my pc today it didn't to connect to ehternet it tries to connect for a second but disconnects. issue is, I checked the cable tested on a laptop and it worked could it be

Could it be the ethernet port on my pc has gotten bad?

So what could be the fix?

[tidal geyser]

reinstall or you know

[high halo]

Nah reset my pc?

[steel umbra]

explode 💥 🪃

[tidal geyser]

never found a fix

[hallow jasper]

considerable troubleshooting to do before that

[rigid fjord]

you can swap out the psu in this for a proper atx psu, and really have some fun

[tidal geyser]

do ipconfig -all

[warm anvil]

Lmao true

Probably just gonna get a low profile card tho

[rigid fjord]

rtx 4060 low profile easily

[warm anvil]

True

[tidal geyser]

for a pentium?

[high halo]

Could it be bc i have tailscale on my pc?

[tidal geyser]

or well core 2 dou

[rigid fjord]

you can also make it a sleeper build and change the header to match the buttons pinout also

[tidal geyser]

did you turn it off?

[warm anvil]

I'm not rich😭

I can't even afford ddr3

[high halo]

Yes

I did turn off the app

I even Uninstalled the app

[rough wing]

Go find an old pc store, and dumpster dive. You’re bound to find ddr3 or 4

[warm anvil]

None near me

[tidal geyser]

did you restart?

[high halo]

Wait lemme do that

[high halo]

Ig a restart fixed it

[violet briar]

Any suggestions on a work laptop for around 250$ USD, i know thats not much but its for my gf

she only wants it for work

[high halo]

But I wonder why it happened in the first place?

[tidal geyser]

windows stuff

i really tought you already did that

[tidal geyser]

you need to look used, you should be able to get away with 8th and 9th gen laptops but i would try and aim for 11th gen at least

[rigid fjord]

tbf, it'll run might not be pretty but it'll run

[hallow jasper]

Nearly every time this comes up its because someone installed some VPN software and doesn't understand it. So yes.

HOwever this game of guessing what it could be is not how you go about fixing a problem.

[high halo]

I didn't just guess thi, I tested the cable itself to make sure it wasn't a bad cable

[hallow jasper]

You instead deliberately troubleshoot and test while narrowing things down and ruling things out.

[jovial swan]

was at my local eletronics retailer where i found a VERY wierdly specced legion 7
it has this

and a 3200x2000 165 hz display
for just 11000 DKK

not gonna last long and will be quite loud

but a pretty balanced spec sheet for editiors or programmers

Anyone know how to reduce iOS 26 lag on 9th generation iPad?

[tidal geyser]

pics

[tacit star]

I think the batt is totally cooked. It's been wired for several days without unplugging it

[tidal geyser]

get a newer ipad

[tidal geyser]

sometimes it just does that

the battery is failing if you unplug it and it drains really quickly

[tacit star]

Yes it dies so quickly indeed

Even at 10% RGB brightness

[hallow jasper]

and it likely didn't stay at 100% the whole time as thats not good for batteries. it was probably cycling a bit and you happened to unplug it while it was down there

[tidal geyser]

replace battery

[warm anvil]

No one's throwing away ddr4 in this economy

[tidal geyser]

also battery power mice with rgb are so dumb

[gilded imp]

a well designed charge circuit would bypass the battery once its charged and still plugged in

[tacit star]

It started dying quickly at 60% lightning, then at 30%, and now at 10%

[warm anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/truth-nuke-truth-true-soyjak-wojak-gif-14828627546768133163

[tidal geyser]

that is how batteries work

[tacit star]

I've been using the mouse for more than 4 years btw

I've ordered a new batt as I saw it was dying

[tacit star]

Even when it is 100% charged

[tacit star]

Thankfully I have a bungee as using a wired mouse is a nightmare

[mellow sonnet]

laptop makers tend to make laptops with top end hardware for everything except gpu

[tacit star]

€15 for a new batt vs €150 for a new mouse

This mouse still works

[mellow sonnet]

woulndt be surprised to see a 285hx with something like a 4050

h484 refers to either a 265k or 155h/255h/258v cpu not 400 series

if only this thing had 32 gigs of ram

[tidal geyser]

some reviewers got it to there

its mostly about 20hrs of actual use if you aim for battery life

[warm anvil]

All the ddr3 is so overpriced now

People flip ddr3 cause of ddr5 prices😭

[tidal geyser]

but reviewers saw up to 30hrs with chrome constant refreshing

[pure trellis]

Improvement, but still over hyped

[tidal geyser]

eeeehhhh

up to benchmark macs are 6 feet under

[rigid fjord]

400 series doesn't exist currently

[tacit star]

My question is weird, I hope you can understand me. It is about ARGB, the way the rainbow goes. In the first case pink goes after red, and in the second case – yellow goes after red. If my motherboard works the second way is it possible to make the rainbow shift colours the opposite way? (MSI motherboard)

[tidal geyser]

panther lake looks so fkn good but its so spensive

[tacit star]

I will try to find a video if you don't understand

Alright, play this and then reverse play the video to see what I mean

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XU1Uz1tx4I

[hallow jasper]

I've never seen anyone ask this.

the color order is typically managed by the software and if everything is synced up with the same software then it should all match.

if you're using different software and as an exmaple a preset "rainbow" then no, the indivudla order of the colors isn't adjustable typically, unless it is.. and in that case you'll just have to do it

tl;dr uninstall all the garbage and use signalrgb for everything

[tacit star]

Here is the other colour order

[hallow jasper]

never in my life have I seen someone this concerned over RGB color order for their unicorn vomit

[tacit star]

Everything in my PC is perfectly synchronised (except, of course, the memory going slower)

[plucky lodge]

this game has sick graphics ngl

[tacit star]

SignalRGB, one RGB software sounds great. I have only one software other than Mystic Sync

[tacit star]

Which is the game

[plucky lodge]

AC shadows

[rigid fjord]

so you're after a bouncing cycle as the effect

[tacit star]

Is it theoretically possible to "fix" it with SignalRGB?

[hallow jasper]

if one software is controlling everything then yes, theoretically

[rigid fjord]

feels like he's trying to do kitt but with argb

[tacit star]

Even with only Mystic Sync, it didn't fix the colour order

[rigid fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/knight-rider-kitt-david-hasselhoff-the-hoff-serie-tv-gif-7202134

[tacit star]

It seems the colour order is like this on the software

[hallow jasper]

random RGB software, the preset patterns typically aren't adjustable. or, at least the order of say, the rainbow of colors, isn't adjustable. things like speed might be

so if you want everything uniform, best to control it all in one place

[jovial swan]

battlefield 6 has excellent graphics

[tacit star]

Let me show you Metro Exodus rendering artifacts

[tidal geyser]

is this a year old intel igpu drivers?

[tacit star]

(6900 XT)

[hallow jasper]

it does, you've just got something massively misconfigured

[rigid fjord]

bloom and to much gamma

[hallow jasper]

possibly HDR related as well

[rigid fjord]

true

[hallow jasper]

after 3 years of gaming exlcusively in HDR, it is not a "turn on and you're done" kinda thing. Not even close.

[tacit star]

"Move the slider until the image is barely visible"

What does barely fucking mean... I always hated this setting, I never understood it

[rigid fjord]

it means, until you can barely see it

like just before being pitch black

[tacit star]

What does barely mean

[jovial swan]

nah RTX 4070

[tacit star]

Move it once more and it is invisible?

[jovial swan]

DLSS had a schizm so now i run the game with FSR

[rigid fjord]

ffs, it's pretty obvious

[jovial swan]

[tacit star]

Or should I easily see it, but it is almost pitch black

[rigid fjord]

you can't see fuck all when it's pitch black

and before that when there's still a tiny bit of light available to you, you can just make out the outline of some shapes

[brave brook]

the point of that setting is that not every device can render grey near black as well as others. Thus they ask you to 'calibrate' your monitor this way, so you are not seeint nothing instead of very dark grey

[tacit star]

I use an OLED?

[brave brook]

good for you, most don't tho

[tacit star]

I still don't have a clue how to calibrate it

Lowest setting, or again, "barely" visible?

so on the microphone boya by m1 if you connect on smartphone it doesnt need battery but on pc it only works if i use battery mode or if i get a TRRS headset splitter, im curious will using a sound card like this make it so that it works without the battery same way it does with the splitter? thanks <3

[jovial swan]

https://giphy.com/gifs/kawaii-my-art-addiction-hMqZucA0fD692

[lime bloom]

i have no idea if it works or not lol

does it?

[jovial swan]

[lime bloom]

i assume it doesnt but why?

[lapis talon]

I put one fan on top of another, which are blowing air in the same direction? Both are 120mm, and both are nearly 2000 RPM

[carmine yew]

there's no way to know

[lapis talon]

Mainly doing this because my radiator is 240mm, not 360mm, and I need to balance that missing radiator gap for the third fan

[carmine yew]

that's going to destroy both fans

[lapis talon]

Both are blowing air in the same direction though

Both are intake

[carmine yew]

still going to destroy both fans

[lapis talon]

How

[carmine yew]

wait, define "on top of"

assuming they're 120x25mm fans:

Do you mean 120x240x25? or 120x120x50?

[lime bloom]

rip, thanks for the reply

[lapis talon]

I mean 120x120x50

He probs misunderstood

[carmine yew]

yeah the air turbulance will fuck the fans

[lapis talon]

I didn't word it properly

[lapis talon]

Same RPM and identical CFM doe

😭

[carmine yew]

well, you do you. I'm just telling you what's gonna happen

@hallow jasper have a laugh

the only way you can stack two fans is if the blades are spinning in opposite directions

[lapis talon]

Then can I leave one of the fans turned off?

[lapis talon]

Huuuuh

I mean I can also just 3d print a shell of a fan to match the height of the radiator beside it

Overtime?

Hmm

[carmine yew]

I mean, fans aren't that expensive, so it won't be that big a deal when it happens.
But whatever. I'm over it.

[lapis talon]

I was originally planning on installing the radiator there but it might not be possible because of the LCD display

[lapis talon]

I mean, I can leave it turned off if it's a big problem

[carmine yew]

If you want to not hurt the fans on a rad:

Do push/pull

Fan | Rad | Fan

[lapis talon]

Oh no I'm talking about BESIDE the rad

[lapis talon]

I don have space for push pull I think, if the case was a Lian li O11 compact, I could do a push pull

I feel like I didn't explain what I meant earlier clearly 😭

[hallow jasper]

@carmine yew Is a known troll here?

[lapis talon]

Wait lemme draw a quick thing

[rare pasture]

No

[carmine yew]

What are you hoping to achieve by stacking two fans

[rare pasture]

You'll burn up the fans which then if they're connected to your mobo it'll fry your mobo

[hallow jasper]

is this a discussion about push/pull with consumer AIO's

[carmine yew]

no, dude's asking about stacking 2x120mm fans directly on each other

[hallow jasper]

https://klipy.com/gifs/wtf-wth-19

[carmine yew]

and lander thinks he knows everything despite being new. Meaning he's a fuckin' alt.

[rare pasture]

i thought they were offset

[jaunty apex]

Wtf lmao

Do not the fan sandwich

[carmine yew]

he's not ofsetting, he's stacking 2 fans directly. (not a rad push/pull)

[jaunty apex]

You know everything about PCs? Name one rail on the PPBus

[hallow jasper]

no, just to know stacking two fans directly has a negative affect, not a positive one.

also is completely pointless

[rare pasture]

The transaltantic Railroad

[south arrow]

🦖

I feel attacked

[rare pasture]

itll be lot louder

[lapis talon]

excuse the bob ross, but this is what I meant

[carmine yew]

If you're trying to get more airflow out of a 120mm fan?
Get a better 120mm fan like a Phanteks T30

[carmine yew]

do not do the stack. lander is clearly stupid.

[lapis talon]

then how do I raise the height to fill the gap 💀

hes a regular in the server 🥀

[carmine yew]

3d print a spacer? or don't worry about the gap?

[hallow jasper]

You're the only one who sounds a little dim here.

[lapis talon]

My OCD will not let that gap slide once I install the fans

[lapis talon]

idk how to get the measurement and everything right for printing a spacer

[carmine yew]

<@&750150305383186585> dude's just being a prick, and is an alt

[south arrow]

secretly ships tk with spark

~lander

[hallow jasper]

Oh, he mad. Anyway, don't actually care.

One can hope that people will figure out their mistakes on their own.

[south arrow]

[hallow jasper]

Wait, is he having a full breakdown now? Yeesh. Well, back to work

[carmine yew]

that's easy.
just measure how thick the rad/fan stack is. (rad is probably 27-30mm thick, normal fans are 25)
and just adjust the print depth to offset your fan

Anyone here ever use RenoDX before? I'm being told I should stop using AutoHDR or RTX HDR and use RenoDX.

[flat ingot]

Anyone knows whats going on w my mouse? When i scroll its like twitchy. If i go up, it just goes down adn then up and back down. tried celaning wheel, doesnt help

[carmine yew]

it was an alt.
"TKitch is a known troll" and other things.

so, most likely dipshit got himself banned ages ago, and then setup a new account to come back being a shit head

[carmine yew]

it's possible the wheel is going bad

that can happen

[flat ingot]

Damn, after half a year only

[carmine yew]

RMA, and get a new one

[flat ingot]

Whats good and cheap mouse? (wireless)?

[flat ingot]

RMA?

[carmine yew]

RMA = Return Merchandise Authorization

AKA: Shit broke, and it's under the manuf's warranty. Talk to their support and get it replaced

[flat ingot]

I got it from aliexpress (Attack shark r1)

[carmine yew]

hah, nevermind

[flat ingot]

Yea, so wanna get smth good but also cheap. Anything i should check out?

[carmine yew]

Logitech G305's pretty cheap

[flat ingot]

Hmm, thanks, 70$ huh

[carmine yew]

.... you mean sub-30

Wut?

[flat ingot]

nope..

[carmine yew]

oh, europe. I don't know europe pricing

well, that's equal to about 54USD, which... isn't cheap, but could be worse, kinda?

[lean flame]

i was forced to upgrade to 25H2.

[flat ingot]

Its around 50 i see

[carmine yew]

IDK what are well-priced mice in europe

[flat ingot]

Idk either, im in PC era only since last summer

well ill use this one, but hopefully i can get new one soon

[lean flame]

is 25H2 the update that was bad?

[carmine yew]

not in and of itself

[carmine yew]

there are plenty of europeans around this server, if you ask in #peripherals for europe-specific suggestions, someone over there is likely to answer

[flat ingot]

ohh! Thanks

[jovial swan]

Someones selling this for 40 euros, 2 issues its got are dead battery and a screen thats got light bleeding

[jovial swan]

ThinkPad X1 carbon Gen 2

[carmine yew]

oof, the carbons are shit for repairability

battery you can probably swap, but basically nothing else

[jovial swan]

Damn, thing wouldve been amazing with an extra 4 gigs of memory i got lying around, well i aint buying kt

[tired bear]

Pass

[tired bear]

No use, its already running dual channel

[sharp hound]

Is AltStore safe for iOS

[quartz sail]

what you guys think about an i5 13400f and an rx 6600xt

[carmine yew]

downside to most ultra-thin laptops is that most shit is built into the mobo

[carmine yew]

if the price is right? absolutely

still a totally competent machine

[quartz sail]

600eur and 1tb 16gb ddr4

[carmine yew]

decidedly lukewarm deal?
it could be worse, but it's absolutely not a steal at all.
(I hate this RAM/NVME Shortage bullshit)

[gleaming rose]

on a piece of portable audio equipment would y'all rather have connectors on the main part at the cost of increased thickness, or have a separate brick with all the connectors that can be plugged in

[carmine yew]

how thick is the device with/without connectors?

[quartz sail]

what about an i5 14400f and an rtx 2060 super

[carmine yew]

basically the same cpu. Worse GPU.

[gleaming rose]

I don't have exact numbers, but it would be fairly thin beforehand, maybe 2 or so CM, and then TRS 1/4inch connectors would make it thicker and heavier

[carmine yew]

what about an edge-mounted TRS, so it's not going "deep"

[gleaming rose]

would still probably increase thickness somewhat

the body would be aluminum

[carmine yew]

somewhat, yes, but TRS 1/4 is pretty damned long, so the depth for face vs edge is a decent change

[wispy thunder]

As an audiophile I have no clue in what scenario would you want a separate brick with all the connectors

Would you like to describe it?

[gleaming rose]

make everything lighter and easier to carry

[wispy thunder]

Ehhh

[gleaming rose]

well it's a portable...touch drum pad i guess

it would have a TRS connector for sound output, probably a midi output too

[wispy thunder]

If Box B needs to be permanently attached in order for box A to be useful I don't think it's a benefit

[gleaming rose]

understood

[carmine yew]

You can put a quarter inch plug on a face like this and keep a fairly low-profile device

[gleaming rose]

and then maybe two more pairs for audio effects

[wispy thunder]

But when all is said and done... that still doesn't necessitate a separate box

He also said aluminum which is really throwing me off

[gleaming rose]

one single box it is, I can always ask again once I have designs

[wispy thunder]

Since most audio equipment nowadays unless it is interference sensitive such as ADCs, are plastic.

[gleaming rose]

I hate plastic. it sucks

[wispy thunder]

Uh

[gleaming rose]

aluminum feels nicer

I like the cold feeling

[wispy thunder]

Aluminum is also much heavier

[carmine yew]

aluminum is generally a more "premium" enclosure compared to plastic

[wispy thunder]

Oh sorry wrong ping

[lucid field]

hi guys why won’t my gpu screw in? I have been screwing it for 10 mins its loose and doesn’t tighten at all i’ve tried lifting the gpu and everything but nothing changed..

[wispy thunder]

But aluminum is heavier, feels cheaper unless at a sufficient thickness

[carmine yew]

not that much, since most aluminum can be thinner than the plastic

[wispy thunder]

Ehh

[gleaming rose]

I wonder what I can do as far as impact protection goes

[wispy thunder]

Use plastic

[gleaming rose]

maybe put some rubber on the board mount

[wispy thunder]

Polymerized rubber

[lucid field]

rubber?

[carmine yew]

If you do a face mounted TRS 1/4 like this, it'd have to be much thicker.
I'd absolutely go for an edge-mounted plug set instead.

[gleaming rose]

the plugs will all be right angle

[lucid field]

my gpu is like sagging on the left lol because it won’t tighten

[gleaming rose]

it will be shaped kinda like a drawing tablet ig

[wispy thunder]

Anyways I'd say just build it in and output out the back

oh

[carmine yew]

cords can be right angle.
plugs are plugs.

[frigid blade]

If you’re been screwing at it for that long maybe the threads are just fucked

[sharp hound]

Anyone get melonX to work on iOS???

[gleaming rose]

it will have a big touchpad on it that you can assign certain regions to certain sounds or midi channels

[wispy thunder]

Two things, do you need TRS or is TS enough? Are you using separate outputs for each "drum"? Do you really need 1/4"?

[gleaming rose]

or effects, I want it to do audio effects too, hence why I'm putting a really powerful chip in it

[sharp hound]

Anyone get melonX to work on iOS???

I heard there is a way to bypass jit restrictions

[carmine yew]

mmmmm, PCB TRS

[opaque violet]

Are these important or can i delete them

[left dove]

that is a panel mount

[sharp hound]

Keep them

[frigid blade]

Some games need them

[gleaming rose]

I want TRS for stereo

[left dove]

It is probably used by other software. just get a fuckin' bigger hard drive

[frigid blade]

If you do, you’ll most likely get an error along the lines of “cannot find X.dll”

[opaque violet]

I’m only going to use this laptop as I wireless monitor as it crashes running smallest games

[lucid field]

this is the pc I am selling to my brothers friend lol for $250 (not including my 32gb of ram)

[wispy thunder]

ok, so the mixing is done on device?

[left dove]

imagine being so critical of your storage that you want to remove dependency libraries lmao

[gleaming rose]

yes, it'll have the dacs DSP and ADCs on board
