[rigid fjord]

simply put, a 9060xt 16gb

[wheat torrent]

My cat would fuck it up though

[quick crest]

yeah ive been looking at that

i saw a used 6800 xt 16gb for 350

[rigid fjord]

reasons why you use the right length cable and possibly any trunking

[wheat torrent]

You right

[quick crest]

would that be better

[wheat torrent]

But I never know what cable length I need, it's dynamic

[rigid fjord]

by a tiny bit it would be

[frail sequoia]

I did not expect this on a gen 2 snapdragon in a Samsung s23 ultra

[rigid fjord]

9060xt 16gb is equal to a 7700xt 12gb which is equal to the 6800 non-xt @quick crest

[quick crest]

alright, thanks for the help! :]

[weary cove]

hey uh how do i fix this

just came up like a few days ago

or uh is this the wrong channel

[formal sonnet]

Where did you purchase your Retail Windows license from? Consumer licenses don't have / use an "organization's activation server" to activate...

[azure topaz]

all this to choose a game that is natively on the phone 💀😭

[weary cove]

i didnt, it was from my parents

the pc

[formal sonnet]

Then I would ask them where the license came from. This smells like a not legitimate (or otherwise misappropriated) Windows license. Home users would not even be able to purchase an Enterprise license...

[weary cove]

are there any negatives for leaving it be

because i think this time when i turned it on, it was on a black screen for a suspiciously long amount of time

[steel umbra]

it’ll stay unactivated

[frail sequoia]

Piracy

[formal sonnet]

Yes, non-compliance with the license terms. Whether or not Microsoft will do anything to a home user is another story. They usually don't, but it's still a license violation.

[frail sequoia]

Not saying how but I fixed my laptop using it because it was locked to an organisation

[frail sequoia]

Yes I tried contacting first with no response

Can't disclose how

[weary cove]

you saw nothing

aw dang it

[quick crest]

damn i just saw a 3060ti for 220$
somebody is gonna be happy when they buy that

[frail sequoia]

My 6600xt was £210

[quick crest]

damn

[frail sequoia]

Used with a 5 year warranty from cex

[azure topaz]

isnt the 3060ti faster lol

[frail sequoia]

By a lil bit iirc

[azure topaz]

swag

[frail sequoia]

5-10% I think

[azure topaz]

220 seems ok i mean its a lil sad nvidia gimped them just a smidge cause theyd be ok for 1440p

they still are, just have to lower textures more than normal but whateva

[frail sequoia]

I'm happy i got ps3 emulation on my phone

[rigid fjord]

no need, you just use a method that their help service use

[quick crest]

im assuming the gpu would be what i should upgrade here since the 3060 isnt exactly great

[rigid fjord]

i know the ways but can't say them here

[azure topaz]

3080

[rigid fjord]

the 3060ti would be a small upgrade at a price that's not worth it, you will want something that is comparable to a 6800 or 3080 at minimum

[frail sequoia]

Yes to test emulation works before I try gta 4

[quick crest]

nah dw i meant that 220 for a 3060ti seems like a good price for somebody else

[azure topaz]

yeah, although theres a 3070 for 260 near me lol

[quick crest]

😭

[rigid fjord]

wouldn't touch a 3070 when you can get a 6700xt for cheaper and it comes with 12gb vram

[azure topaz]

wouldnt touch a 6700xt when their drivers are on a "consumer demand" basis and doesnt have any usable upscaling

[rigid fjord]

the price of modding to 3070 to make it more useful also means you'd be paying almost double that in total

[azure topaz]

the 3070 is plenty useful with 8gb vram, turning down textures at 1440p really isnt that big of an issue

same for the 3060ti

it shoudlve/couldve been more but its ultimately usable

DLSS also aids with that

[rigid fjord]

asset culling happening way to much on the 3070

also it seems that increasing the vram to 16gb on the 3070 gives it around a 50% boost to it's original performance

[quick crest]

a used 3090ti for 350 sounds way too good to be true lmfao

[hardy horizon]

Good contact?

Trying to solve why I don't have onboard HDMI

[formal sonnet]

What CPU / motherboard? And is there a GPU installed in a PCIe slot?

[rigid fjord]

thats bit of a bargain if it's fully working and not cooked some of it's vram

[hardy horizon]

245k z890i edge MSI

[quick crest]

says its in perfect condition

[formal sonnet]

Gotcha. GPU should have onboard Graphics, same with motherboard, so only thing it might be is a GPU being installed in a PCIe slot, or something not allowing it to POST correctly.

[hardy horizon]

I ordered a nouctua cooler to replace this be quiet because I think it's hitting this heat sink, But Amazon said it was supposed to be here today when I ordered it ...
Nowit's not showing up till Monday... and next week I'm going to be so busy
At best I'll get to look at it in a week. But then that's like 3 weeks after I got all this stuff so I'm not trying to play the Amazon return game.

[hardy horizon]

No gpu

HDMI over TB works fine

[azure topaz]

doa hdmi port then?

[hardy horizon]

Possible, or ... Warped board/ dead CPU from the PSU fire

[azure topaz]

yes+the ILM is whats putting the pressure on the CPU pins for contact, improper heatsink attachment wouldnt mess with onboard video

[azure topaz]

if the video works through thunderbolt its not the cpu bro

the igpu clearly still works

[hardy horizon]

Well, The cooler is smashing the heat sink so when crank down it's twisting the board and side loading the cooler so it's not straight. I'm thinking it might actually be putting enough pressure on one side to lift the other side of the CPU?

It's a micro ATX board so there's not a ton of rigidity anyways.

[azure topaz]

i mean if your computer has all the screws rigidity shouldnt be a concern

[hardy horizon]

Ok, I didn't know if going through PCI Express would still use the HDMI output pins

[bold olive]

i didnt notice that the tv was a plasma cuz i didnt think anyone would own it 😭

[hardy horizon]

No case

[azure topaz]

still really shouldnt be a problem

if the board is new id return it and the replacement will probably work

[hardy horizon]

Wish there was a way to know for sure, I'm tired of driving the 30 miles each way to drop off Amazon returns ......

[azure topaz]

however if you commonly use no case consider the 18$ amazon china testbed special

[hardy horizon]

The case got delayed

[azure topaz]

hey man im not saying that youre poor im just saying that if you dont use a case commonly it may be worth it for situations like this

i have one myself

[hardy horizon]

I mean.... I could try and boot with me just holding the heatsink on the CPU. 🤔. I've already taken the mount off, So unless I banana the board hard enough to break traces If that's the issue it should work right?

I'm thinking I'll also reseat the CPU although I highly doubt that's the issue I was very careful with that.

[azure topaz]

not really worth it

you can just try with no heatsink and if it displays at all and you can shut it off then

a couple seconds with no heatsink is ok

[hardy horizon]

Still trying to diag what all the PSU short killed

[frail sequoia]

It's a 2007 lcd tv

[hardy horizon]

This one takes 30 seconds to post lol. It doesn't like the RAM.

But ya let me try that

[azure topaz]

yeah thats still fine

if it displays just turn it offf then and call it good, then you know

dont go faf'in with the bios

[bold olive]

isnt the viera series plasma

[hardy horizon]

I do know I had issues getting it to post until I loosened up that side of the heat sink 3 turns.

That's why I'm thinking that that's where the problem is.

[azure topaz]

possible

if anything id still blame the board cause it sounds like the ILM isnt doing its job lol

but uneven is uneven ig

[hardy horizon]

Well You wouldn't be able to do your job either if a couple hundred pounds of force is side loaded on you lol

[azure topaz]

i mean yeah just fafo around ig, does just sound olike the board if alternative means of displaying weork

does it have onboard DP? itx prolly not

[frail sequoia]

Took the photo in 200mp mode so it was the cleanest and sharpest the phone can do

[bold olive]

o

[azure topaz]

also can check the pcie side by just putting an nvme drive in

if the nvme is detected that means pcie is surely working

[bold olive]

dammit someone else has a 200mp sensor than me

[frail sequoia]

It has 1 rca, 1 composite, 2 scart, 1 vga and 2 hdmi

[frail sequoia]

I got my dad's s23 ultra hehe

[bold olive]

hdmi 1.3 😭

[hardy horizon]

Oh it "works" But you can't have the cooler tight.

I just don't know if when you send a display signal out through Thunderbolt 4 if it goes through the same pathway / transistors that HDMI out would go through

[frail sequoia]

Still does 1080p @ 60hz

[bold olive]

good for you

[hardy horizon]

*the NVMe works

[bold olive]

which is plenty

[frail sequoia]

Yes

I use it as a monitor rn

[bold olive]

fhd in 2008 feels too futuristic the fact that there's composite video

[hardy horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-no-never-nah-naw-gif-1191255073758669162

[frail sequoia]

1760 x 990 resolution i use

[frail sequoia]

My TV is about 2 years older than me

Not my 4k TV the one I showed

[bold olive]

oh yeah speaking about tv

[rigid fjord]

intel and an uneven ilm seems to be a more common theme

[bold olive]

a samsung tv in my family room died 😭

[frail sequoia]

Damn

[bold olive]

theres no standby light or anything

[frail sequoia]

So it's dead dead

[bold olive]

yes

and its pretty sad cuz

[empty quartz]

As much as i hate ai

I decided to run one on my mac

[rigid fjord]

my samsung tv should have died at least 5-6 years ago

still alive and kickin

[frail sequoia]

My 2007 TV should of died 10 years ago

[bold olive]

theres plenty of connections

taste of my 200 megapixels

[azure topaz]

3 mb

[hardy horizon]

Smelly cleaning pads are ..... Interesting

[azure topaz]

god these things are terrible

its like pinesol and bleach had a baby and now its whole goal is to nose fuck you

[rigid fjord]

2010 samsung plasma in my case

[azure topaz]

it lingers for like, 30 fucking minutes

genuinely vomited first time i used one

the rest of them were promptly thrown away and my room had to be aired out no lie

[frail sequoia]

Ignore the mess in pic 2 I'm in the process of rearranging my room

[limpid ivy]

One you up when there’s a whole ass container that is used

[frail sequoia]

It's cause I'm using 200mp mode

Deal with it

[limpid ivy]

Horrendous fuck you smell till that thing is empty

[rigid fjord]

wait til you see the ones for silver polishing

[frail sequoia]

Acetone and petrol and diesel smell yummy

So does acrylic paint

[rigid fjord]

then you suddenly smell methanol and want to puke

[frail sequoia]

Yes

[ivory mountain]

fsr looks horrid in high on life 2 holy

[rigid fjord]

shellac is a smell that is nice but will make you feel drunk if you're dealign with it in an enclosed space with no ventilation

[frail sequoia]

THERES A second ONE?!

[ivory mountain]

yes i loved the first but the second suffers from terrible performance issues 💔

[ivory mountain]

high on life 1 was easily a top 10 game oat for me

[hardy horizon]

So dead board?

[frail sequoia]

Since when was there a socobtlm ibe

Second obe*

[ivory mountain]

socobtlm ibe

[frail sequoia]

One*

[ivory mountain]

like a month ago

[frail sequoia]

Samsung autocorrect is shite sorry

[ivory mountain]

well its a vga light u should probably install a gpu buddy

[frail sequoia]

Barely works and the keyboard keys on it are tiny

[hardy horizon]

It has one 😭 inside the CPU

"Easy debug" ... Yeah If you bother to line the text up with the lights...

[ivory mountain]

Oh its a boot issue who tf lined up that text

[hardy horizon]

No it was just no SSD, which makes sense, pulled it so it would go into BIOS.

This is DP over TB4 ... But HDMI was working too like this.

So now I gotta order another board 😭

[wheat torrent]

Which fsr

[ivory mountain]

Fsr 3, fsr 4 both look shit

[wheat torrent]

Dlss is better

But fsr anti aliasing should be alright

[ivory mountain]

usually fsr is just "okay" but in hol2 its so dookie

[wheat torrent]

I never heard about this game before

It has to be unreal slop

[hardy horizon]

No replacement offer, ordered another Motherboard ..... Good thing I have a high CC limit 🤦‍♂️

[wheat torrent]

Credit card limit?

Why are you buying computer parts on credit

[rare pasture]

why wouldnt you

[wheat torrent]

Lots of reasons

Is it 0% interest credit though?

[frigid blade]

my buddy fixed his e93 convertable tonight

some of the sensors were messed up

thats why its tech related

[grizzled frost]

you should be buying everything on credit

then pay it off before the end of the month

easy good credit score hack

it’s also more secure and easier to dispute charges

[frigid blade]

and points

[limpid ivy]

And never max out the credit line or at least try not to

[grizzled frost]

cash back too depending on the card

[grizzled frost]

iirc it’s best not to go above 80%

[frigid blade]

you can max out as long as you pay off before the report is sent out

[frigid blade]

dont wanna go above 10% lol

[grizzled frost]

depends on the type of credit

[frigid blade]

im at 39%, my score dropped 51 points

[grizzled frost]

did you pay it off before the end of the month?

[frigid blade]

hasnt ended yet

[limpid ivy]

I'm below 70% anyways so not too bad

[frigid blade]

they just reported utilization already

[grizzled frost]

just pay off your credit after every purchase, easy peasy

[limpid ivy]

I did get to 80% in January but that was when I had to pay for my tuition lol.

Which ironically went up 200$ from the previous semester

[frigid blade]

gotta try maxing out fafsa

assuming ur USA

[limpid ivy]

Did that I don't get nada

[frigid blade]

damn

[limpid ivy]

Parent income plus mines with freelance are more.

Plus my dad is using the money from my college savings account to pay so works out

[frigid blade]

i spent so long trying to max everything i could

[limpid ivy]

I just have to pull out the exact amount for tuition to pay it off.

[frigid blade]

I was getting paid $2.4k per semester (after tuition)

[limpid ivy]

Right now the problem I gotta deal with my school is late distribution

So a lot of students had hold put on their account or were dropped from classes when fafsa was late this semester.

School ended up reverting that but otherwise it was a shitshow the beginnning of February.

[frigid blade]

how late? normally it was 2 weeks for us

[limpid ivy]

Depends when you filed with the school, chances are the ones that complained they got theirs late filed later.

Based on priority I guess

Lol I am begging for 2027 to come so I can graduate already

[topaz turtle]

@tidal geyser ordered that second Asus

[hardy horizon]

5% cash back.

[topaz shale]

valid

why wouldnt you buy computer parts on credit

[hardy horizon]

Seams awfully loose, I assume bc it trained at 1.1v?

[hardy horizon]

Exactly, Go full degenerate. RAM prices are going to go up another 150% in the next 12 months, every month max out your credit limit on DRAM and resell it on Facebook 💲💲💲

/j we don't like scalpers here

[topaz shale]

i had an opprotunity to scalp and i didnt

i could get ram kits at market price for a while

[wheat torrent]

yes but you end up paying more

if a phone costs 1600$ you would end up paying 2015$ in my country

[formal sonnet]

Good on you for not contributing to the problem. 👍

[wheat torrent]

I finally finished my setup

now I have to clean everything

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cleaning-toilet-gif-3511273902044958590

[wheat torrent]

me

[azure topaz]

it’s jedec

google what that means then you’ll hit an “ahhh” moment

(but jedec basically means stock, 1.1v and 5600 c46 is entirely normal)

[azure topaz]

man if only there was a channel for linux posting

man oh man if only if only

[formal sonnet]

❤️

[ivory mountain]

Your name is so goooood

[odd marsh]

speaking of mods

[warm anvil]

i only now realized ur pfp was the gokler

[ivory mountain]

[warm anvil]

how much storage do yall give vms

[azure topaz]

enough

usually 64 or near there

my windows vm has 100 but that’s cause it’s a bo3 server

[warm anvil]

i give mine like 30 gigs

[formal sonnet]

Depends on what the VM is doing. If it's me testing a Linux Distro... like, 20GB? If Windows, 100GB?

[warm anvil]

to be fair i only have 256 gigs

[azure topaz]

i give my vms pretty little cause there’s an SMB share

[hardy horizon]

Jeez, I didn't realize how much shorter the corsair's cables were 👀, at least they didn't start on fire ..... Yet

[warm anvil]

i love smb

i have it set up too

[azure topaz]

most of the stuff lives there

i got like 8TB

[hardy horizon]

Best PC cooler BTW, super great if you have a 200mm opening for a fan on the side

[wheat torrent]

why

[warm anvil]

larp

[wheat torrent]

I do not get the whole neofetch thing in general like at all

is it some byproduct of autism or what

[gray sierra]

What is this weeb shi

[wheat torrent]

I cant understannndd

[gray sierra]

[wheat torrent]

why is everyone posting neofetch screenshots

[warm anvil]

who gaf

[warm anvil]

its a local ip what are they gonna do with it

[wheat torrent]

is it like those people who are obssessed with obsidian/notion/productivity products

but never actually get shit done

ricing has to be the same thing

[warm anvil]

i do it for fun and as a hobby

[hardy horizon]

Before I engage the "fan of cooling" 🤞🤞

[wheat torrent]

mmmmm interesting

[warm anvil]

i mean its pretty common

[wheat torrent]

yes

why is it common it makes no sense

[warm anvil]

cause linux is a hobby for a lot of people

plus why would anyone want an ugly desktop

[hardy horizon]

Yay I'm in windows ! Not so yay ...

[wheat torrent]

I guesss????

[warm anvil]

its an optional thing people do for fun ur acting like im holding you at gunpoint telling u to rice

[wheat torrent]

I did participate in such behaviour also

rendered this wallpaper

[warm anvil]

nice

[gray sierra]

wym

[odd marsh]

ok obsidian is actually good

[wheat torrent]

yes

if you actually use it

most people that spend dozen of hours configuring everything and not end up actually using it are just wasting time

[odd marsh]

nah bro just one more plugin and it'll be perfect

[wheat torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/amen-gif-23345354

productivity slop people explaining their whole workflow and configuration (they will change it in 2 days)

[ivory mountain]

l-l-l-l-l-l-l--l-larppp larp larppp!

[warm anvil]

dude thats me

[ivory mountain]

W niri

[warm anvil]

how can u tell

[odd marsh]

i watch some videos about stuff like this, but im not too crazy into it

im trying to get into using tags rn

[ivory mountain]

because you said it

[wheat torrent]

I did watch also

[warm anvil]

oh that makes sense

[odd marsh]

using Obsidian for school notes makes it a bit interesting to stay organized

[wheat torrent]

but most of those feel like a obsession with an illusion of productivity

[odd marsh]

yeah i agree

[warm anvil]

dude every time i try open a torrent link on my browser it opens stremio

[wheat torrent]

and im not talking about obsidian

im talking generally the whole "productivty" orientated people

[lunar idol]

hey guys

[warm anvil]

what even is obsidian

[odd marsh]

ye i understand

[ivory mountain]

something u use to make a nether portal

[warm anvil]

oh right i know that

[odd marsh]

always gotta be doing something, optimizing yourself, when that's just not how it works

[warm anvil]

i like window managers, not cause im productive but i just like how i can see everything at once

its not like crucial doesnt exist anymore dude

[ivory mountain]

no cap lock or the bot will exile you to north korea

[wheat torrent]

I guess writing something down and reading it helps memorize information

[lunar idol]

(dont ask how I aqquired crucial)

[warm anvil]

i liked the caps version more

[ivory mountain]

u acquired it by purchasing it

[lunar idol]

it basically does if you arent chatgpt

[warm anvil]

it definitely is still being sold everywhere

higher price sure but its not like its hard to find

[lunar idol]

I must just be misinformed

[warm anvil]

ebay amazon u name it

[lunar idol]

my fault guys

[warm anvil]

sure they arent actively making them for us (i believe) but there is still plenty to be sold

[odd marsh]

it does, the more you write it and explore topics/ do practice the better you understand

[lunar idol]

and thats how you resolve being wrong on the internet without resorting to yelling at yourself

[warm anvil]

anyways, he has ram get him

[lunar idol]

for now at least

[lunar idol]

crap

[wheat torrent]

I did use obsidian myself in university

[azure topaz]

do not check my bedroom

[lunar idol]

I mean I got 22GB DDR3 in my current build (dont ask how I got 22GB i totally dont harvest the souls of old computers)

[azure topaz]

there is totally not copious amounts of ddr3 and 4 in my bedroom

[warm anvil]

dude all i have is thermal paste and 4 gigs of ddr3

[wheat torrent]

but I guess this also ties down to a multitude of ..... I do not even know what the word is

[warm anvil]

slide me some ddr3 if ur in the uk

[azure topaz]

i have at least 20 sticks of various ddr3 that has bench relevance

[lunar idol]

Ill slide you 22GB

[azure topaz]

d4 probably like 8-12 but 4 are in my server

[wheat torrent]

like for example there is people that say you should wake up at 5 am go for a walk read a book do 100 pushups.......

[lunar idol]

Im in the US but

[warm anvil]

im running 1gb x4 800mhz in my server bro

[odd marsh]

nah thats all just lies

[azure topaz]

i have 16GB X4 3200

[wheat torrent]

I feel like its interconnected

[odd marsh]

its to get you to feel bad and to buy a course

[lunar idol]

Home servers scare me

[warm anvil]

shipping from the us to uk costs a fortune

[azure topaz]

yeah

[lunar idol]

My new kit is 32GB X2 3200

[ivory mountain]

i go to the gym at 5 its nice honestly

[azure topaz]

it’s fiiine

[warm anvil]

amazing speed ram i love the 1gb x4

[lunar idol]

is that dell bios

[azure topaz]

yes

[warm anvil]

yes from 2009\

[odd marsh]

yeah but theres a difference between you as a normal person doing it, and then an influencer doing it you know?

[azure topaz]

didn’t look much newer in like say 2017

[lunar idol]

My 7020 and I say hello :)

[warm anvil]

my home server is a 2009 dell optiplex 780

[azure topaz]

my T5810 looked identical

[azure topaz]

hey that’s the first model/ever computer i’ve bought myself

back in uhhh 2019 i think

[warm anvil]

he has ram... lots of ram get him

[azure topaz]

my server now is entirely custom

[warm anvil]

my dads friend dropped it off a few years ago and i didnt know how to fix it then, now i do so i fixed it a few weeks ago

[azure topaz]

hurray

[frigid blade]

nuh uh

[lunar idol]

oh my

[frigid blade]

am i sigma now, windows neofetch

[azure topaz]

i’d like more ram in my server cause 64GB is NOT even kinda enough

but i can wait ig

[lunar idol]

Oh neofetch on windows

[warm anvil]

dude i have 4gb of ddr3

[azure topaz]

yeah and we do way different things

[lunar idol]

wait neofetch on windows?

[stable beacon]

previously on my old games library i've never actually played

[azure topaz]

my server is at 62GB ram usage

[warm anvil]

fastfetch is on windows

[frigid blade]

its neither of them

[warm anvil]

mine runs at like 1gb

[lunar idol]

ah well i'm just used to using it on my linux crap

[south arrow]

OwO

[azure topaz]

yeah we do very different things

[south arrow]

Watcha up to floppas

[azure topaz]

i got like 5-7vms running at any given point

[lunar idol]

I can't wait to build my new computer!!!

[warm anvil]

fastfetch is better than neofetch, neofetch doesnt get updates anymore

https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch

[azure topaz]

jellyfin, 2 separate VMs for game serving purposes, docker stack, ubuntu gui, truenas

[warm anvil]

the creator quit maintaing it to go farming

[lunar idol]

good to know!

[lunar idol]

tbh peak reason

[azure topaz]

one game vm is on windows for bo3, the other one is using an AMP management panel license i bought 7 years ago

[warm anvil]

im running home assistant in docker, pi hole and samba

something else but i forgot

[azure topaz]

truenas handles everything storage related

[warm anvil]

not even joking

[lunar idol]

Yall should I make my PC dual boot Win11 and Ubuntu?

[azure topaz]

smb, raid, allat

[warm anvil]

sure

[azure topaz]

and then in my docker stack i have 10vms running

so if you count those i have like 15-17: at any time

[lunar idol]

I have 1.5TB total how much should I allocate to Ubuntu?

[warm anvil]

u pick

[frigid blade]

probably not much if youre not gonna use it

[lunar idol]

Its in 1 1TB NVMe and 1 512GB SATA so I think ill allocate the SATA to Ubuntu

[warm anvil]

i wopnder how bad a mc server would run if i hosted it on my dell optiplex with an igpu and 4gb of ddr3

[wheat torrent]

@odd marsh I guess my point is that all of this is mostly "productivity theatre",
obsessing with notion/obsidian and so on...
obsessing with todo lists and planning endlessly...
trying to optimize tools .... researching self improvement but not doing anything worthwhile

[fickle ivy]

How do I convince my friends that I'm not insane for wanting 3 monitors for recording videos

[wheat torrent]

so In the end you're doing something that feels productive without actually doing much which feel rewarding........

[odd marsh]

its easier to do that, than to actually improve

[wheat torrent]

yeah

[lunar idol]

no need,

you are

[wheat torrent]

it's an illusion

[fickle ivy]

Im not tho

[warm anvil]

you are, give me a monitor real quick

[wheat torrent]

I myself back in the day would go to stores and buy stuff like notepads, pens and other shit like that

[lunar idol]

For recording or editing?

[wheat torrent]

and never end up using them.....

[fickle ivy]

Both

[warm anvil]

reditting then

I've got 2 24" 1080p and 1 1440p 27" as my main

[lunar idol]

I think if it was just recording I would say no, but bc its editing ill say sure

[wheat torrent]

it makes you feel in control to some extent

portray you as disciplined

[warm anvil]

ur setup do what u want

[wheat torrent]

of course there are people who actually stand on what they are doing and it all has a purporse

[lunar idol]

this enough storage for my Nikon d40x guys?

[wheat torrent]

is it 1.5 Volts?

i remember when that shit happened, was so funny that she fell for it

[ivory mountain]

just use a VM honestly

until you actually know what ur somewhat doing

[ivory mountain]

never speak again please thanks

[south arrow]

XD

Dreams ruineddd

Soiledddd itt

[lunar idol]

I've been using Linux for a while, I just wanna consult people smarter than me (i think i got that grammar wrong)

But youre right, imma use VM until i'm more confident

[fickle ivy]

Combined with my 8 inch speakers and PC I'm probably gonna need a massive desk

[grizzled frost]

no…?

you only get charged interest at the end of the month

[wheat torrent]

idk how it works in your country

but I looked at a store in my country, the s26 ultra costs 1600 dollars

[ivory mountain]

i dont even have credit

[wheat torrent]

if you get it in credit you pay 2015USD total

[azure topaz]

that’s if you’re paying the phone off on a monthly basis

[wheat torrent]

yeah in credit

[azure topaz]

financing vs just buying on your credit card and paying it back before they charge you extra

[wheat torrent]

I need to take a look

ah nvm

[mellow sonnet]

and they say iphones are more expensive

[wheat torrent]

I cannot even make a credit card

[south arrow]

My credits decent but could be better

samsung tries hard to make apple seem like a good deal

[wheat torrent]

that screen feature is very innovative

cant wait to see apple do a presentation on it in a year or two

[mellow sonnet]

the apple implementation will be better

[wheat torrent]

did apple even do anything innovative with their past phones

pretty sure for the most part they just used what everyone else already did for a long time

except with a few years delay

[grizzled frost]

the iphone

[wheat torrent]

yeah but you know what I mean

the apple company from back then is not the apple company from now

ship of theseus

[hardy horizon]

🔥 name NGL

[mellow sonnet]

they are the first to offer a premium chromebook alternative for same money

they prefer to put things later than put them when they havent matured

androids using one of those new battery types without doing longevity tests

this is why apple is staying on lithium ion

or samsung doing the folding phones and apple joining the foldables market later this year

it is not that apple is “late” for something as they wait for it to mature

[swift moss]

GUYS i don't need an ad rn what is going on

[limpid ivy]

apple tv?

[swift moss]

TSN

[limpid ivy]

ah I am testing right now with apple tv, but probably might just stick with the main f1 tv app lol

[swift moss]

oh yeah f1tv app probably best

do you get like driver views and stuff?

i heard f1 tv like a little more interactive

[limpid ivy]

yea a tad more interactive there

but I am on ipad soo the screen space is smaller haha

[left dove]

I fucking love this cat I swear to christ

[swift moss]

ooh in what way

[left dove]

He's such a GOOD BOY

[limpid ivy]

ayo wtf Bottas is out too

[left dove]

OHHHH THE LITTLE BLACK NOSEEE

my heart

[swift moss]

damn

i wonder if the post race downloads have these views as well or just the stream

indeed

i didn't hear why

[ivory mountain]

My cat earlier

[wheat torrent]

very nefarious

[limpid ivy]

Ngl surprised to see aston martin still out with one car. But Stroll is well behind so probably just saving the car till the end.

[swift moss]

i thought alo rejoined?

[sinful cobalt]

the cars this year are so shit and aston martin somehow has the worst one

[limpid ivy]

curse you regulations

[swift moss]

i like ferrari car

must be the safety car

[sinful cobalt]

that merc is a beast on the straights

[swift moss]

yeah

moet and hennessy 😭 got the lv wine

[distant frigate]

Ok so I got this to work again

Just slam it on the ground and it works again

A little percussive maintenance

[flat cliff]

Anyone got 3D print experience specifically SV08 or similar machines that can help me with some troubleshooting? Help hand hold me to getting the tuning right that I can take settings set them and forget them? My bambu died and I need to finish printing this PC case and it the only printer I have now.

But I cant get it to work for the life of me.

[wispy spindle]

Y'all ever seen anything like this before? 😭

I'd like to keep the drive, but it's been spiking to 100% and having these crazy response times lately. This was also an absolute worst case scenario, but it's not uncommon for the response times for it to be in the 10k+ range

Especially when doing something sequential

It also seems to be worse when it's writing? Like much much worse

Ngl gang, I think I'm just gonna retire the drive 💀

[formal sonnet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1r5nrzi/extreme_disk_latency_4000ms14000ms_in_steam_with/

I know it's not the same model drive, but the logic applies nonetheless...

[wispy spindle]

Mean I always knew it was a cheap, dram-less drive. I just don't ever recall having had problems, or at as severe, before 😭

It's got around 3300 on power on hours, 23tb read and written to it and at least according to crystaldiskinfo it's at about 90% health

[ocean axle]

I highly doubt this

There manual memory control you get from xbox matters, a lot

And windows had no equivalent

Also the account management, file access (lack of write), hardware decompressor, bunch of other stuff

[serene python]

There is a chance they just stop caring lmao

[ocean axle]

Unless they plan to shove 48gb+ in the retail unit, I doubt it

They'll also need to provide APIs that work for both Xbox and PC for account management

Though UWP might already have that one, but the gdk's API is more focused on the controller than the account (as it should be)

[dapper light]

Tried first hand S26U's privacy display
It really destroyed the OLED black

Definitely better to just use it limited to certain apps or notifications

[sinful cobalt]

I saw AI in every advertisement they shat out and lost interest immediately

[brave brook]

unfortunately for you, AI helpers are the big thing for next few years. There is not much to change/improve on hardware side, we are past that phase of phone development

[sinful cobalt]

Its not unfortunate at all- The AI is just not where it needs to be to for me to consider them effective enough.

its not unfortunate that I decide to not bother with a scamsung shitshow

[brave brook]

AI is good enough for what i use it for (coding questions), obviously no point in doing that on phone

[dapper light]

eh i still think samsung got the best android phone

i don't really watch the official presentation

though that is true for every phone

i rather watch the tech tubers' recaps

[clear canyon]

true, from my experience tho, its good enough for me until they change their damn UI again

[cold skiff]

What was the last coding question you asked and did your chosen model get it 100% correct

[brave brook]

from google or from local models ? Google answers are pretty much always spot on; local LLM i use mostly for agentic coding, and while it makes mistakes, it also fixes it by itself most of the time

[cold skiff]

People joke on vibe coding but in all seriousness. In the future, decades or not - it will be an immense and amazing tool to build with when it’s 99.9%+ correct

[dapper light]

I pretty much had a perfect experience for code when asking questions for the last 6 months

Every post Grok 4 launch models has been ridiculously good

[cold skiff]

Is that because you didn’t have the knowledge or the skill or you needed something done quick?

[brave brook]

and last example on google was about how to send a request to vision model using langchain4j in quarkus

[brave brook]

it's usually just faster than searching in documentation and/or stackoverflow. Rarely had a miss

[cold skiff]

I have literally 0 coding skills btw. Literally done basic LUA scripting in a game like 15 years ago and Didn’t do anything difficult so I’m curious

[dapper light]

I already have my own experience pre AI

[clear canyon]

its already really good now, I basically vibe coded my senior project as im not in a major that does coding and its turning out well, the project is still on going

[cold skiff]

As to me people knock ai but future wise it could be amazing and if it works well now, that’s awesome af

[clear canyon]

yeah im not good at coding lmao

I do IT work, not developing

[cold skiff]

I can’t remember any Unity scripting from years ago neither

[brave brook]

online paid tools work awesome (Claude code, Gemini), but they are paid of course. Local LLM is slow if you don't have much resources, and makes mistakes more often, but agentic systems allow it to repeat and fix itself most of the time

[cold skiff]

Fuck man I don’t even remember how to code goldsrc ai

And that’s 90% vertices and clicking

[brave brook]

so if i need a simple utility for something, i just describe what i want, fire it away, let it do it's thing in background, meanwhile i do something else, and 9 out of 10 times i return to the LLM code a hour or two later when i finished the other work and it usually just works, or needs only simple fixes. Didn't do big code with it yet, but what i tried so far was fine. Wouldn't run agentic coding on large codebase tho, not until i get something like AMD AI 395 + 128GB LPDDR5x-8000 system 😄

[clear canyon]

I have a fully working Login, account registration and account recovery system, a working saving system and im working on an auto updating character sheet, the project is a D&D character sheet creator, you can also change the font of the website too, its all still a WIP

all of it connects to my MySQL server

so it has an actively working database

@brave brook@cold skiff@dapper light

[cold skiff]

That’s pretty awesome

[clear canyon]

I use Copilot, shits awesome

[cold skiff]

Web developers heaven that sounds like

Also don’t let rauko hear you say that

[clear canyon]

Copilot is surprisingly good

[frigid blade]

With the good models

[cold skiff]

Imagine charging a client 10k for a system that costs you a few hundred dollars monthly fee, a weeks worth of time and making bank from AI

[brave brook]

i am in a situation where work gives us a monthly budget for AI tools through their infra, but obviously can be used for work. i run local LLMs on HW i already own, but can't decide if i want to spend 2.5k euros on a AI MAX 395 128GB system or not 😄. Paid solutions are kinda expensive tho

$20/month claude is very limited i think, and $200/month claude is overpriced for home use

[frigid blade]

It’s nice to be a student, I get free copilot pro, so recently have been testing GPT 5.4

It’s much better than Gemini 3.1 Pro

[clear canyon]

This is the only class im using AI on bc its stupid, the senior project is so stupid

on paper it sounds fun as ur suppose to put everything you learned over the past 4 years into it but the way its actually done is pure BS

[frigid blade]

Have you applied for the GitHub Student Package?

[brave brook]

i am still laughing at how dumbed down AI agent development got in Quarkus/Java 😄

[clear canyon]

yeah

[brave brook]

you create a interface, register it as an ai service, create a method with system/user message, done

it automatically wires itself up to the LLM configured in properties file, to the vector database you configured etc... So all the hard work of working with LLMs is done for you, you need to only create the stuff before it (REST/Websocket APIs etc)

[dapper light]

Github copilot is the best bang for the buck

100 Opus requests for 10 bucks???
One nice prompt can get opus generate like a million token in an agent run

For 10 cents

[clear canyon]

i use the free stuff and iv hit no limit besides the copilot app crashing lmao

[dapper light]

The free one sucked tbh, the free models are ass

Sonnet or Codex 5.3 at minimum

Opus for what I deem more complicated

[clear canyon]

the free option for copilot is what im talkin about

[dapper light]

I made a YouTube mp3 Downloader site in like 1.5 hours

Because the existing ones SUCKED

Full of ads, slow as snail

Gets taken down all the time

[brave brook]

at work the AI experts recommendation was "Sonnet for designing/planning, Opus for actual coding"

[clear canyon]

the ads is the worst part ngl, its all corn

[cold skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/glenn-quagmire-family-guy-giggity-gif-4084933

[dapper light]

Less about the task type, more on the task complexity

Sonnet for small edits where the humans knows the architecture

[kindred halo]

Reading a laptopmag review from 2016 has me as excited as someone who would've been reading it at the time

[dapper light]

Opus for big refactors

You can get opus to make a plan.md and implement it in one copilot request

[brave brook]

what absolutely surprised me tho is how well newer smaller open source models behave. Qwen3.5-4B can literally run with relatively huge context on my 16GB GPU (128k context), be fast and still make valid results from text analysis. And the fact that they can also do vision processing (OCR on text for me) is amazing for what it is

i mean it being a reasoning model and it doing the whole analysis is not instant by any means, it "thinks" for 1 minute and 14 seconds for the task i just run on it - but it followed the instructions to the letter, even fixes stuff like "oh the OCR did a boo-boo here and read 5 as S considering the context" 😄

[lilac mist]

Anyone got any good tips from removing a cigarette smell from a GPU?

I don't smoke but got a second hand GPU

[clear canyon]

remove it from the pc, take off every part of the gpu, so sperating the heat sink, the shroud and the fans and remove all dust then give it an isopropyl alcohol bath and very gently scrub it with a brush

the alcohol will not hurt it and it wille evaporate quickly

[lilac mist]

The PCB shouldn't be too bad just the heatsink and everything else

[clear canyon]

use a soft brush like a tooth brush

[kindred halo]

Are there any scented liquid solutions one can use alongside the iso that won't kill it

[clear canyon]

well it can be, iv personally seen some bad cases

[lilac mist]

I already scrubbed it down with a mixture of dawn and white vinagar

[clear canyon]

not that ik of

[clear canyon]

woah, dont do that

thats bad

[kindred halo]

Would a small squeeze of hand-soap hurt

[lilac mist]

Barely damp

[kindred halo]

iirc white vinegar is either slightly corrosive, or too rough on PCBs?

[clear canyon]

depends how it was removed

[clear canyon]

its corrosive

[lilac mist]

Hmm

Wish I knew that beforehand

[clear canyon]

you only use isopropyl alcohol

[kindred halo]

Oh okay, ty

[lilac mist]

The GPU still works fine

Ran for a few hours of furmark

[clear canyon]

yeah

[lilac mist]

I was mostly scrubbing the plastics

[clear canyon]

well if its still smelly and dirty, do the alcohol thing and take apart everything

[tidal geyser]

Ah smoke smell from pc parts

[lilac mist]

Not even dirty just has some residue

[tidal geyser]

Never managed to find anything, good luck

And pleas never ever smoke for the love of god

[clear canyon]

ur waiting period for it to dry is like 1 min vs vinegar and soap not

[clear canyon]

soap and vinegar wont fix that

[lilac mist]

I was thinking of maybe just soaking the heatsink in something

[clear canyon]

the alcohol lol

[tidal geyser]

I have only had 2 devices that were 100% smoked around and it just stunk so badly I just resold it even after giving the non electrical parts a bath

[lilac mist]

Is there anything I can put the plastics in?

[clear canyon]

sim is a certified chain smoker

[clear canyon]

wdym

[lilac mist]

I can hand dry the plastics

[lilac mist]

Shroud and backplate

Not the fans

[tidal geyser]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1266127315692290099/1357051364513026250/togif.gif

[clear canyon]

if you use isopropyl alcohol, it will evaporate within a min

[tidal geyser]

Super it's fucked

There is next to nothing you can do

[clear canyon]

it wont leave any residue or anything

[tidal geyser]

The PCB will still remain with the stench and I do not believe iso can fix that

[clear canyon]

it did for me

[lilac mist]

I'm reading all kinds of wacky things online like some say leave a cup of vinegar in the PC

[clear canyon]

yeah dont do that

[lilac mist]

Mine was just sitting on the desk for months from the previous owner

[tidal geyser]

ozone generators

[lilac mist]

Guess I'll have to get a big bottle of isopropyl and just get a brush and start scrubbing

[tidal geyser]

It's how hotels get rid of smoke smells from rooms

[clear canyon]

data centers literally have a hose and spray their servers with isopropyl alcohol to clean them while the servers are plugged in and On, its fine

[lilac mist]

Could put one in a upside down bin with the GPU

[tidal geyser]

I believe they use something different also no

[lilac mist]

I heard the ozone makes plastics brittle though

[tidal geyser]

Btw mangaes to break googles ai

[clear canyon]

for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for,

[lilac mist]

If I can remove like 80% of the smell I can deploy it in the LAN party multiplayer setup in the basement and not be bothered by the smell. If I can remove almost all of it I'm sticking it in the HTPC.

[tidal geyser]

Rip

[lilac mist]

Like I said it degrades plastics

I know that from the automotive side of things

I'll alcohol bath/scrub the PCB and fans but the non electrical stuff is getting a soap and water bath

[clear canyon]

dont use water

[tidal geyser]

DO NOT put the fans in iso

You will remove all the lubricant

[lilac mist]

I know not to put the fan hubs in just the blades

Soak a towel and scrub

[tidal geyser]

You're able to remove the blades from the fans?

[lilac mist]

No

Like I said soak a paper towel or something and scrub the blades

[lilac mist]

Even on a bare metal heatsink?

[tidal geyser]

Water has worked fine for me if I'm quick to dry it off

[lilac mist]

I know corrosion would be a concern but for a quick few min scrub with a brush to the metal

And then stuck in front of a fan to dry

[clear canyon]

I just dont recommend it, you gotta wait forever too

[lilac mist]

I don't mind

[lilac mist]

I just want what's most effective

[dapper light]

I can never touch small parameter models again

[clear canyon]

iso alc

[tidal geyser]

This was my case, just a bit of dust I wanted to fully get rid of

[dapper light]

They are all dumb as bricks

[tidal geyser]

Wat if Abs

[brave brook]

obviously i do not use them for coding tasks. Text interpretation, OCR etc - for those they are good

[clear canyon]

whats abs, i just know it for brakes

[dapper light]

Especially that my daily is freaking opus Codex and Sonnet.

And GLM 5 for the... fun... stuff

[lilac mist]

The fan shroud (fans detached) and backplate I can just do soap and water those have no RGB and is just plastic

[tidal geyser]

Plastic

[clear canyon]

ohhhhh

i conencted the dots

[lilac mist]

I think just a soap and water bath would be easiest for me

[clear canyon]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/x1cna/quick_possibly_stupid_question_will_isopropyl/

[lilac mist]

Just gotta make sure everything is dried out before reassembly

[clear canyon]

i really dont recommend it for pc parts

[tidal geyser]

Been fine for me

[clear canyon]

ur gonna need to quintupple check everything is dry and let it sit and air for at least 2 days

[tidal geyser]

Just need to make sure it's dry and dry it quickly

[lilac mist]

I have time just not money to be spending on the isopropyl at the moment

[tidal geyser]

Tbh I tend to just reassemble it while it's still a lot of liquid on it

[tidal geyser]

Ain't iso just like 5$

For 2l or smn

[lilac mist]

Wrong reply stupid discord

[clear canyon]

from walmart

[tidal geyser]

Xd

[lilac mist]

Was gonna ask if that was walmart

Well guess I should stop at Walmart tomorrow and get a decent length brush and some iso

I'm definitely though just gonna wash the plastics in soap and water to be double sure

[clear canyon]

i really dont recommend that

[lilac mist]

It's just plastic

[clear canyon]

its not that

[lilac mist]

I can wait a few days

Not a big deal to me

[clear canyon]

its what it leaves behind and that its conductive

[tidal geyser]

Wat

[lilac mist]

Dish soap?

[tidal geyser]

The soap gets washed off anyways

[clear canyon]

yeah, water has conductive particles and soap can leave films and such

[tidal geyser]

But the holes it screws into are designed to not have any issues

[lilac mist]

You just gotta rinse it off good

[clear canyon]

i just wouldnt trust it :/

iv always used iso on everything and its been super easy and reliable and I dont gotta wait days to use it

[tidal geyser]

Does not matter anyways, where it screws into can't have any components on it anyways and ofc if it's dry it ain't gonna leak anywhere

[lilac mist]

Well I'll try ISO and a brush first but if that doesn't work bath time for everything but the fans and PCB

[clear canyon]

lol, alright

[lilac mist]

The PCB doesn't even really smell

[tidal geyser]

Heat it up and smell it again

[lilac mist]

It's the heatsink I forgot I could just use a brush to scrub though my cleaning concoction was a bit acidic

[clear canyon]

me when I light up a ciggy

[lilac mist]

Cleaned the desk pretty good after doing the GPU

[cold skiff]

I normally clean my motherboard in a bleach and fairy liquid solution. Then when I’m done I’m make a zaflora solution and just let that drip dry. Can’t be getting bacteria on my motherboard

For my heatsinks if it’s rad or tower doesn’t matter. I spray with cilit bang and wipe down. The also spray the zaflora again and air dry outside

[lilac mist]

Sucks this GPU is going to take more than 1 teardown

What kind of putty is this stuff?

[cold skiff]

Thermal putty

[lilac mist]

Any way to get it off without damaging it?

[cold skiff]

Just pull it off however you need

It rolls up back again but you lose something like 10% should be fine to go back on

What cooler is that? The copper blending out looks terrible

[lilac mist]

I have thermal pads to put on if needed but not sure how they compare to the putty

[lilac mist]

MSI 4060

[cold skiff]

Dayumn. MSI did ya dirty on quality control. Not that it will make a difference tbh

[lilac mist]

Think thermal pads might be alright if I loose too much putty?

[cold skiff]

You’d need to check compatible height or trial and error on the thickness for your cooler when stock comes with putty

[lilac mist]

I am near a MC but $16

[cold skiff]

Generally almost all the putty can go back anyway

So just save the stock stuff

[lilac mist]

Guess tomorrow is GPU teardown 2 electric boogaloo

[clear canyon]

its called thermal pads

[lilac mist]

This stuff wasn't thermal paddy

It flaked off more like putty

[clear canyon]

then its putty

[lilac mist]

And it's not old and dried out though the paste....

[cold skiff]

Looks like a bad spread or burned off

[lilac mist]

It was dry

Some fresh GC Extreme worked

[cold skiff]

Well yeah it’s not gonna be wet

It’s used

[lilac mist]

Not even a year old shouldn't be like paint

Should still flake off

[cold skiff]

Uh that doesn’t matter depending on what’s used

Dried out and you can see it’s being burned off is when you had a problem

[lilac mist]

I'll put some more Gelid paste on and that works good

[cold skiff]

That just looks like bad application tbh

[lilac mist]

This was mine

[cold skiff]

Yeah because it’s fresh

[lilac mist]

Temps 🧊

[cold skiff]

Pastes cure

[lilac mist]

Well I gotta redo it again tomorrow anyways

[cold skiff]

Generally 48hours to 5 days depending on the paste

So you check it in a week and it will be similar to what you just shown

[lilac mist]

I know the GC Extreme paste holds up

I used it in toasty laptops

[cold skiff]

Phase change materials are slightly different but generally pastes all cure like you just shown

[lilac mist]

I know they dry over time

[cold skiff]

If it don’t flake off, that shows it’s still doing its job

[lilac mist]

Why I do repastes once a year on the laptops

[cold skiff]

But yeah the hotspot on that die would be high given the paste application is fubar

[lilac mist]

That screenshot was after the repaste

It actually dropped the hotspot from a 20 degree difference to a 10 degree

Hoping the cleaning goes well tomorrow I actually can't wait to use the GPU

I want to put it in the HTPC just can't have it stinking up the room

[gaunt spade]

will i get an fps boost if i overclock my gpu in the finals

[modern walrus]

depends but most likely

[clear canyon]

Depends

If ur gpu bound, it could improve fps or at least frame pacing

[gaunt spade]

im very gpu bound

[serene pumice]

Peak active hours

Apparently this Discord got so popular, they even created a forum based off it

[pine dust]

No idea where to throw this, but found this going down a rabbit hole on thunderbolt https://www.lumafield.com/article/usb-c-cable-charger-head-to-head-comparison-apple-thunderbolt-amazon-basics

[serene pumice]

Good old CRT puts OLEDs in shame anyways

[dapper light]

Not even the same menu

[rigid fjord]

8 hours to 5 days you mean

[frail sequoia]

My desk is now sorted minus the wires

[cold skiff]

Looks like you’re in a third world basement

Or an American basement that hasn’t been refurbished since the 90s

[grizzled nova]

im confused as to why it points this out
the “wiggle” isnt exclusive to this pcb
and its common knowledge that traces must be the same length

its not even especially important in this case
its required for every case

other than that this is really cool

[woven wigeon]

i recently bought a 3d printer (bambu lab a1 mini combo with ams) and i am a noobie to 3d printing any tech tips for me to not mess up my prints?

[grizzled nova]

learn that mistakes are a valuable part of learning

[woven wigeon]

im also concerned how does bambu lab earn money like i bought a printer and the fillament was 50 procent off WHERE ARE YOUR PROFIT MARGINS

[grizzled nova]

chinese

and non modular

and the prospect that they get you into their ecosystem cheap now
expensive later

[woven wigeon]

oh ok

same thing where printers are dirt cheap but then they are a third of the price of a single ink cartrige

[grizzled nova]

maybe.
i dont think so tho
at least for the foreseeable future
they did the locked down slicer
so theyre willing to lock down their products for profit

[woven wigeon]

ah ok

[woven wigeon]

it also could be like what if bambu lab has a special feature that other brands dont impliment and they need a special app to make a stl file supporting the special feature

[modest sandal]

What do you think about XFX QuickSilver 9070xt? Should i pair it with 9800x3d, arctic 360 AIO and msi tomahawk b850 motherboard or should i get better model od the 9070xt?

[grizzled nova]

yea
its all whatifs tho as of right now
the slicer controversy got a bunch of pushback from the community but most people ended up not caring in the end as bambu printers are the best for printing

out of the box they print the best
and theyre the simplest to set up

[woven wigeon]

i hear pepole also saying that bambu lab is very bwgginer friendly

[grizzled nova]

yes

[woven wigeon]

my uncle is the tech guy of the family tree and he has a creality ender printer and he said its hard to use because its like you gotta level the bed manualy

[grizzled nova]

probably an ender 3
yes theyre not very beginner friendly
but you can tune and upgrade them to be great

[woven wigeon]

but he said its like very entry level

[grizzled nova]

theyre definitely cheap

[woven wigeon]

cool

[grizzled nova]

i cant say anything other than an outsiders perspective on either bambu or ender printers as i dont actually own either

i have a prusament printer

[woven wigeon]

cool

[pine dust]

Yeah even for basic USB you have to get it to the same length within a tolerance

[pine dust]

Most brands do annoyingly

Although bambu has been easier for my coworkers to get into with the slicer, filament ecosystem and guides (i.e. it says to cold pull all the time) working due to the ecosystem, I need to start showing them outside it 😅

[grizzled nova]

i have never done a cold pull for my prusament

and its fairly old

mk3s+

[mild gust]

Could someone help me with my pc? I’ve been trying to enter BIOS but screen is coming up as no signal, when booting regularly it’s not effected

[inland bloom]

Should I pair my 4060 (8GB) with an R5 5600 or a R7 5700X? Planning for an upgrade

[cold skiff]

#1027757333117415424

List specs and stuff

[cold skiff]

If you’re gaming it doesn’t matter tbh.

[thorn estuary]

windows is telling me to update windows (to windows 11) like every hour its pretty annoying. but every time i try and do it, it seems to go fine until the pc restarts, and throws me a black screen with PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA (0x50) error. it does that twice and on the 3rd restart it goes back to windows 10 and its the same thing over and over. i found someone that said i should go into advanced windows settings and turn off automaticallyu manage paging file size or something, but idk if thats a good thing to do really.

and i dont really want to reinstall windows as i have a lot of files i need to back up which is spread around the drive and i really need them.
wtf do i even do atp

[inland bloom]

Mostly multitasking, like 70% gaming and 30% is like video editing and stuffs

[cold skiff]

The 2 extra cores can help but they’re not going to be life changing. So it’s up to you based* on price

It’s not as expensive as a ddr5 upgrade which would be a huge leap for both gaming and video editing

[inland bloom]

Its 35$ difference for me

Cant tell if I should just save money and get the R5 5600 instead

[mild gust]

Thanks

[ocean axle]

$35 on top of what?

[inland bloom]

the 5700x is 35$ more expensive than the 5600

[cursive storm]

do dusty fans decrease performance? because um...

[tidal geyser]

what do you have now

[tidal geyser]

what do ye think

[inland bloom]

What cpu im using right now?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[inland bloom]

i5 9400F

[cursive storm]

i think its time to clean it

[inland bloom]

6 year old cpu

[tidal geyser]

what are the prices for lga 1700

i would take that over am4

[inland bloom]

LGA 1700 motherboards are like 60$-120$

for me

[tidal geyser]

and am4

[inland bloom]

Below 60$-90$

Feel like AM4s cheaper, now that I compared it

[tidal geyser]

60$ and 60$ is still 60$

for video editing i would take quick sync any day

[ocean axle]

Yea, I got that part, how much is a 5600?

[inland bloom]

120$ ish

[azure topaz]

where is a 5700x3d 150$

[ocean axle]

Roughly linear $/core, either is fine

[azure topaz]

i will buy 10 rn

[ocean axle]

5700x* non-3d

[azure topaz]

oh i’m too tired

i should close discord before i accidentally on purpose rage bait tc1

goodnight

[inland bloom]

So is it worth it to spend 35$ for an extra 2 cores

[cold skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/ragebait-crow-corvid-youcannotragebaitme-gif-7215771269538007449

[cold skiff]

It’s not expensive, you’re on ddr4 making a choice not to upgrade to newer platforms so sure, go for it

[shadow shale]

Cant wait till im gonna switch to all AMD

sleeping is erm not happening to put it simply

lack of a special plant of sorts because of recent occupational needs

[inland bloom]

AM5/DDR5 prices are crazy so 🤷‍♂️ AM4 it is

I originally wanted to get the R5 7500F

[ember lion]

gotta love proxmox.... webinterface and SSH not working.
But the VMs on it are starting up fine and are reachable over the network....

[exotic cape]

@tidal geyserif you need some PD cables, komplett has some nice discounts.

[azure topaz]

infinite cables

[azure topaz]

this really concerned me at first honestly

[azure topaz]

what’d you break

also i don’t think proxmox by default has SSH open unless im tweaking/you changed that

[exotic cape]

$5.07 for the 2m cable and $4.04 for the 1m cable

[azure topaz]

yeah i just saw 945 and was like “oh my god”

then i saw you pinged sim and it makes sense

[exotic cape]

i bought 5x 2m cables for less than a single full price 2m cable

$0.41 less

[ember lion]

nothing except a reboot.
Now it is working after I pulled and plugged in the network cable.
KEEP IN MIND VMs on that proxmox instance were REACHABLE

[azure topaz]

yeah i’ve had that happen but only after i broke something

[tidal geyser]

xd i have em in my cart and i really should buy some but eeehhhh

[exotic cape]

logging in to samsung and i get asked for a code.
i think i have a few devices i can get the code on

Last few months have been rough on my wallet

[sinful cobalt]

Last few months ❌
Yesterday all at once ✅

[brittle lichen]

In the process of moving and I found these in my closet. Boutta go up on marketplace right now lmao

[steel umbra]

why apple headphones?

[mild parrot]

They sound good, they’re comfy and they automatically connect to whatever device I play something on

And I got them 20% off

[steel umbra]

the first two requirements can be achieved under 150

[wild steeple]

wonder if you put desktop on floor it collects significantly more dust

[mild parrot]

Nope

[steel umbra]

cope ngl

[sinful cobalt]

apple ecosystem

[steel umbra]

airpods max if anything have worse frequency response for most people than some $40 headphones

[mild parrot]

All you’re saying is you’ve never tried them

[steel umbra]

i did, they’re heavy

[mild parrot]

I also have Audeze LCD2 and Oppo PM3

[gilded cosmos]

airpods max are really nice

[mild parrot]

Not compared to what I’m used to

[steel umbra]

again you overpaid if you were looking mainly for sound and comfort

[mild parrot]

I also waned good ANC and battery

[sinful cobalt]

airpods pro 2 is the meta for ANC and battery

[mild parrot]

That’s your opinion

[sinful cobalt]

I personally wouldnt recommend the big headphones unless its for long travel times where the sound stage is very nice- Alternatives indeed exist but cant blame you for sticking with apple ecosystem

[steel umbra]

there are some things outside of just subjective, you’re used to headphones with dampened treble

[mild parrot]

I also have Fostex TH900 MK2

[steel umbra]

apple doesn’t use some kind of mythical pad technology, atleast what i’m not aware of

[mild parrot]

These defo don’t have dampened treble

[steel umbra]

none of the units you named are neutral for most people

[mild parrot]

Uh

[steel umbra]

their ear gain is at 6khz and not 3khz

[mild parrot]

I don’t like neutral

Neutral is boring

If I wan neutral I can use toneboosters morphit which has dedicated profiles for my headphones

[steel umbra]

airpods max are notorious for lacking so called detail

the treble is dampened and in many genres it’ll sound like things don’t hit like they shoudl

[mild parrot]

You know I don’t care right? I have far superior headphones and if I dint like these or thought they weren’t worth the price I paid I would have returned them

[steel umbra]

do you have a pair of any close to neutral headphones
