[pearl current]

around 349++ euro

[rigid fjord]

ddr5 don't respond the same as ddr4 does, though increasing the ram could help, and for 1600 i'd expect 32gb system ram in it

[ebon marlin]

Bomboclat

[lapis talon]

Wouldn't I need the Lenovo software to use certain features of the laptop? Oh I also didn't get the free Xbox gamepass for 1 month they promised

[rigid fjord]

and the cost of a laptop using a 3060m?

[lapis talon]

Don't even get me started on laptop prices here. The one I got was an unofficial/gray market unit, meaning no official warranty. An official one would cost around $2500+ USD here

[pearl current]

what is a 3060m??

[rigid fjord]

a mobile version of the rtx 3060

[lapis talon]

¿

[ebon marlin]

Way more than a 1650 laptop

[lapis talon]

Catto and rauko

[pearl current]

185euro ++

[topaz flicker]

¿

[ebon marlin]

Oh what the fuck

[rigid fjord]

neither of them

[ebon marlin]

That's an insane deal get that

[lapis talon]

Huhhhhh

[rigid fjord]

if working, what cpu is with it?

[pearl current]

yeah i live in malaysia i just convert it to euro...

[ebon marlin]

Eh personally think both are ugly

[lapis talon]

Of what

[lapis talon]

Holy crap, if it's that cheap, I gotta get one as well

[ebon marlin]

Holy what an ugly case

[lapis talon]

No like what're you asking

[rigid fjord]

no, it's a one of a kind design

[lapis talon]

But like

I wanted smth a bit different from the other fishtanks, and this looked unique

[hearty ocean]

Idk all of that stuffs usually unneeded bloatware

[topaz flicker]

A cheaper case that looks like it

[lapis talon]

Liked the Phanteks Evolv X2 at first but shipping costs $150 USD

[topaz flicker]

Cougar cfv234

[lapis talon]

Ohh

[pearl current]

i5-11400H

[ebon marlin]

It looks like every other fish tank

[lapis talon]

That looks cool but what about my 8 fans that I bought 🥀

[rigid fjord]

reasonably good cpu for intel laptops of it's time, any with an amd cpu inside? for a comparison

[lapis talon]

3 glass panels

[ebon marlin]

Nothing new

[rigid fjord]

it can be mesh fronted instead

[lapis talon]

It is in my country 😭

[lapis talon]

That just defeats the purpose

[topaz flicker]

Every fishtank looks the same to me

[pearl current]

cant find any that have amd

[rigid fjord]

nope, that improves airflow instead

[lapis talon]

Oh the cougar case isn't even available in my area

[pearl current]

should i go with a laptop with a decent cpu connect it with egpu or just buy a lptop that alredy have a gpu on it

[lapis talon]

Budget laptops don't got thunderbolt

[topaz flicker]

How do i make my pc look like this

[rigid fjord]

get one with a dgpu built in

[pearl current]

hmm what thunderbolt you mean, psu?

[rigid fjord]

pay double what it cost in parts for all the liquid cooling

[rigid fjord]

no, it's a connection that looks like usb C but does more than usb C does

[pearl current]

ohhhh

[rigid fjord]

it also makes many desktop gpu's perform worser than laptop gpu's

[lapis talon]

Pay a lot of money

[stray portal]

Buy one with good gpu

Egpu gonna cost way more

And be worse

[lapis talon]

Something that's a bit more available worldwide 😭

[pearl current]

hmm its very hard to find a good laptop in my country with a cheap price

[rigid fjord]

build a pc for 1,5k, expect to pay 1,5-3k to do the custom liquid cooling loop

[lapis talon]

Build a pc

[pearl current]

even a old laptop is expensive

[pearl current]

isnt ram gonna cost more cause of the shortage?

[rigid fjord]

grab the 11400h + 3060 laptop

[rigid fjord]

it already does

[pearl current]

yeah ddr4 cost before the ram shortage is like only rm200 now its like rm899

[frail sequoia]

@ebon marlin im just gonna upgrade my pc instead of getting a laptop after selling my laptop

[stray portal]

I think you can still get a decent pc

[ebon marlin]

Surprised you're not doing a braindead move to impress someone on tiktok

[rigid fjord]

on the second hand market it's possible, but new, that can be hit or miss

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/drift-driving-fail-accident-gif-14580906

[rigid fjord]

ditches, they don't ask, they tell you to stop

[pearl current]

what spec you reccomend for me the game i play is like minecraft, roblox, and maybe i will try buing no man sky

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/initial-d-gutter-run-ae86-fd3s-gif-22153365

[stray portal]

Depending on your budget i would even consider 8gb ram

[frail sequoia]

I don't post on tiktok

[ebon marlin]

Yeah yeah

[rigid fjord]

get the laptop with the 11400h instead currently and save up

[frail sequoia]

Well I haven't in months anyways

[sleek ibex]

[ebon marlin]

Larp larp sahur

[frail sequoia]

Bro I doomscroll jumpstyle on tiktok, that ain't related to tech

[stray portal]

Thats a bad idea tho he should save up a bit more and get something good, even if he buys a mid pc now he can upgrade it when he gets more money and have a better deal

[ebon marlin]

😭

[stray portal]

If he buys a laptop now its lost money

[ebon marlin]

Even the CIA couldn't get this information out of me

[pearl current]

are you sure? it cost RM2,399

[rigid fjord]

not really, considering it's coming with a 3060 inside, it's at a bargain price

[pearl current]

524.34euro

[frail sequoia]

I have a b450m mobo, r5 4500, 6600xt, 16gb ram and a 1tb nvme and imma get a new case, a full size atx b450 and a better cooler than my stock cooler

[stray portal]

Hmm true but it will be a less powerful 3060

[ebon marlin]

Didn't you say that was like 189 euros

[stray portal]

Its still somewhat a good deal tho

[ebon marlin]

Okay nvm the braindead move is back on the table

[pearl current]

thats the old laptop one

[rigid fjord]

out of all that, the cpu is the sucky part

[stray portal]

For 500 euros you can make a good pc with an igpu and it will run most games, especially the ones you want at decent settings

[rigid fjord]

he's converting it over from malaysian currency

[stray portal]

Yeah ik

[rigid fjord]

yeah, not really going to get much as a good setup comparatively

[ebon marlin]

Or a good pc with a dgpu

[stray portal]

But markets should be somewhat similar

[topaz flicker]

Yall know any cases that look like this <$150

[pearl current]

wait i actually have make a pc spec list, let me check

[stray portal]

Yeah if he doesnt want an igpu he can get a used 1060 maybe

Or better, idk a lot about used gpu market

[rigid fjord]

i'd still go for that laptop for now in his case

also depending on the laptop brand, it's more than likely to be a 100w model not the 60/80w version

[ebon marlin]

5700xt's should still be available for around 100 bucks

[hearty ocean]

Weird cpu name

[pearl current]

cpu: ryzen 5 5500
mobo: a52mkv2
ram: kingston fury beast 8gbx2
storage : kingston nv3 m.22280 500GB
psu : corsair cx650
gpu : rx 580 (used)

[ebon marlin]

Gpu

[stray portal]

Xt can be both gpu and cpu its weird

[pearl current]

all cost 575.48euro

[frail sequoia]

Ik, cpus are too expensive

And I get good enough fps

[ebon marlin]

Cpus are cheap

Especially used 5600's

[rigid fjord]

swap the 5500 for a 5600, and tbh the ssd should be swapped out

[frail sequoia]

100+ ain't cheap

[stray portal]

Thats good it should run most games, but see if you can get a 3600 and a better gpu instead

[frail sequoia]

I have the same ram lol

[ebon marlin]

Used 5600's should be around 60+ pounds

[rigid fjord]

you could make an offer on this for around £80

[rigid fjord]

5600 not 5600x, still though can get it cheaper because accepts offers

[frail sequoia]

The case imma get is 80 alone

Forgot to add this one mb

[stray portal]

Wow that seems kind of heavy

[pearl current]

what is your guys job or parent job

[rigid fjord]

offer 50-60 on it

[sleek ibex]

I would kill for a SilverStone TJ07 or TJ11

[ebon marlin]

Why get an ugly expensive case

[frail sequoia]

They go for about 100 whenever I see them

[stray portal]

Hey stop it thats not ugly

Fish tanks are ugly for example

[frail sequoia]

Everyone likes different cases, I like this one and some people like the hippy fractal north

[ebon marlin]

You have a micro atx board stuff like the H3 Flow go for like 30-40 pounds

[frail sequoia]

They are

[rigid fjord]

the person accepts offers, so you can try for 60 instead

[stray portal]

I despise fish tank cases so much i hate them

[ebon marlin]

I like mine

[stray portal]

Theyre so ugly

[rigid fjord]

if you ignore the fact that offers are accepted you're being an idiot when it comes to ebay

[ebon marlin]

Although im very picky with fish tank cases since 99% are genuinely ugly

[frail sequoia]

I don't like them either, they can look good in some instances but rarely

[pearl current]

whats wrong with fish tank? its look good to me

[frail sequoia]

How's the gpu not digging but has no sag stand

[frail sequoia]

Personal opinion

[ebon marlin]

What

[frail sequoia]

Means hiws the gpu not sagging

Hows*

[ebon marlin]

It's a 5070 it's a light card

[sleek ibex]

I'm a sucker for the Lancool cases

[rigid fjord]

funnily enough, these are still better than the 4500

[pearl current]

yeah i mean like what make you hate it

[frail sequoia]

My autocorrect rarely works

[pearl current]

looking at this make me feel very poor

[frail sequoia]

A 4500 is a downclocked 3600 iirc

[rigid fjord]

r5 4500 = r5 2600 performance

[frail sequoia]

Just look ugly most of the time like the hippy fractal north

[stray portal]

Beauty is subjective, but also fish tanks have sort of worse airflow and without rgb they look bad

[ebon marlin]

Eh it's not really expensive cost me 1k and it's got a 7800x3d, 32gb ddr5 and 5070 + 3tb nvme storage

[rigid fjord]

it's not downclocked, 4000 series is zen2 refresh and loses a ton fron the performance zen2 has

[ebon marlin]

Also a yummy asrock livemixer board

Livemixer boards are goated

[pearl current]

WHAT 1K IS NOT EXPENSIVE FOR YOU?

[frail sequoia]

Whats that?

[sleek ibex]

More motherboard brands should experiment with daring colour schemes (and no, anime collab mobos don't count)

[ebon marlin]

For a pc of this caliber this is dirt cheap

[rigid fjord]

4500 having half the cache and drops to gen 3 pcie compared to a 3600 which has 32mb cache and uses pcie gen4 @frail sequoia

[ebon marlin]

Asrock with their Livemixer boards

[frail sequoia]

Another 200mp user

[sleek ibex]

Literally what I said

[frail sequoia]

200mp mode on phones, mine does it too

[stray portal]

mine costed 1600 euros and i have 5700x, rx 7800xt and 2tb nvme and 500gb sata

[rigid fjord]

stop doing the stupid with it then

[ebon marlin]

A motherboard with a shitton of USB ports

[frail sequoia]

The b450 mobo doesn't use pcie4 tho

[pearl current]

what the spec is it??

[frail sequoia]

So a mobo by assrock with a big usb hub pretty much

[rigid fjord]

some can actually, still though, 3600 or 5600 is what you'd use not a 4500

[frail sequoia]

I have a b450m ds3h v2

Imma be getting a full size atx tho

[rigid fjord]

and? still the 2 i said is what you should have gone for

[frail sequoia]

Cause my gpu covers everything but the pin buts at the bottom

[frail sequoia]

Wdym the 2?

[ebon marlin]

7800x3d, B850 Livemixer, 2x16gb DDR5 Crucial 6000C36, Thermalright Peerless Vision 360, Lian Li V100, Rtx 5070, HX1000 and Kingston KC3000 2TB and PNY CS3030 1tb

[rigid fjord]

3600 and 5600

[ebon marlin]

Goatrock*

[pearl current]

isnt that like high end spec?

[rigid fjord]

nope

[ebon marlin]

Mid range

[frail sequoia]

Don't assrock mobos kill am5 cpus

[pearl current]

woah

[ebon marlin]

All mobos kill am5 cpus

Asus, MSI, Gigabyte etc etc whatever other brands there are

[rigid fjord]

no, that was due to a microcode and primarily single chipset not a single mobo brand

x670 when it comes to 7800x3d, and x870 when it came to the 9800x3d

[ebon marlin]

Don't need better than this for now as it's reaching 240fps-300fps in Escape From Tarkov

Mainly got the 5070 since I've got an OLED monitor so wanted to take advantage of RTX HDR and other Nvidia gimmicks

[pearl current]

hmm seem like laptop and pc is expensive i will stick with my aspire a315-24p

[ebon marlin]

Could've gotten the 9070xt for same price even though it outperforms the 5070 Ti by 10%

[frail sequoia]

That game recommends 64gb ram, a 4070 and i forgotbthe other recommended specs

[ebon marlin]

That's not tarkovs recommended specs

Tarkovs recommended specs is very outdated it recommends 10+ year old hardware lmao

[rigid fjord]

asrock live mixer if you want all the usb's, and msi carbon if you want all the nvme's btw

[pearl current]

guys whats wrong with caps ?

[rigid fjord]

msi carbon = 4-5 nvmes & 6-8 sata ports on the b650 chipset alone

[ebon marlin]

Absolutely beauty of a mobo

[frail sequoia]

Can't show it rn cause my college wifi blocks steam

[rigid fjord]

if only they did the purple one for amd instead of orange when it came to the b650 model

[bold olive]

didnt know asrock makes this series, this is new to me

[ebon marlin]

And I only paid 110 for it lmao

[rigid fjord]

it's been out for 4 or so years now

[frail sequoia]

Only 13 usb ports (14 including the usb c port)?

My pc has 11 usb ports and is probs cheaper than the mobo

[frail sequoia]

I stand corrected

[ebon marlin]

You have a low end mobo those have like around 5 on the motherboard

Eh 8 not bad

[frail sequoia]

2 io, 8 on back but I have an unpowered usb 3 hub that takes up q port so then its 7 usb ports + the 4 on the hub = 11 usb ports total

[frail sequoia]

Mine has 6

[hexed tapir]

only if asrock didnt kill am5 cpus

[ebon marlin]

Yeah and I can add an infinite amount of usb hubs to my pc too

I've got plenty of usb 3.0 hubs here at work

[ebon marlin]

Didn't know Asrock makes all am5 motherboards on the market

[bold olive]

is the ultra usb power just increased amperage to power hungry devices

[hexed tapir]

i love r/asrock

[frail sequoia]

I like r/thinkpad

[sleek ibex]

Isn't only happening with Ryzen 9000 though?

[ebon marlin]

Same shit happens to MSI, Asus, Gigabyte etc etc

[sleek ibex]

Though again, it's Reddit

[frail sequoia]

I like comparing people on r/macbook to r/thinkpad

[abstract wigeon]

been using an esp32 for about a year as an IoT device hosting a simplt https server.... however today its randomly stopped working, it takes power but the blue internet light is gone, and its not accepting ping or curl requests... any ideas? literally changed nothing

rather not replace it as i lost the original code

[hexed tapir]

r/macbook vs thinkpad

[ebon marlin]

The larp has no limits

[frail sequoia]

This was under a month ago

[frail sequoia]

My e14 has fedora

Selling it with windows tho

[sleek ibex]

I remember when Thinkpads were an IBM thing

[frail sequoia]

I was getting clowned for wanting to get an ibm thinkpad t60 so imma just get pc parts

[ebon marlin]

I've got multiple IBM thinkpads at work

[ebon marlin]

Rightfully so cuz how are you downgrading from a Lenovo E14 Gen 3 to a Thinkpad T60 for college 😭

[sleek ibex]

https://youtu.be/DGHcX0YTPKw?si=Ph5QhDlrozqQfCIx
I unironically love this thing

An IBM Thinkpad from circa 1997

[frail sequoia]

I only use it to watch videos, listen to music and do my college work using teams on web

[sleek ibex]

IBM Thinkpad 770

[frail sequoia]

Also a 4:3 screen is better imo since I use it for coding on vsc

[ebon marlin]

Systems gonna struggle with running the code

[sleek ibex]

This would make a killer portable DOS/Windows 95 machine

Expandable PCI and ISA (nice for DOS games sound card wise) slots

[ebon marlin]

Cpu utilization gonna be maxxed just by sitting idle with fans at max speed

[sleek ibex]

The one I showed? I mean it's a Pentium MMX based laptop from 97 so that's a given LMAO

[ebon marlin]

Talking about the kids choice of the Thinkpad T60

[sleek ibex]

Oh LMFAO

[rigid fjord]

OG thinkpad at that dude

[ebon jungle]

So ... About the age verification laws...... I know the reason we protest coz there has been a lotta data leaks

Stares at china, who already forces children to hand their IDs willing to the gov so that they can game, and people not giving a shit about it

Jesus

I hate these crap

[pure trellis]

I mean, you kinda 20 years too late with that

[ebon marlin]

Haven't heard about a single data leak from china

Western companies it's another data leak every other day

[pure trellis]

There were,but not that many anymore

https://cybernews.com/security/billions-chinese-records-data-leak/

Like this

Oh, it was a month ago

[ebon marlin]

Would've thought it would've been major news considering china is known for their ID mandate

[gaunt spade]

i trust china more than discord

[pure trellis]

Data and place of birth,lol

[ebon marlin]

Same honestly

[ebon jungle]

Well I already knew these laws exist in china a long time ago

The reason? some random poor kid wrote to the gov saying that "I hope I can have a phone so I can make more friends by gaming", causing the Chinese gov to take action on these laws

(On of the reasons, not the main one iirc)

[gaunt spade]

i gave my passport to china on wechat

[rigid fjord]

i wouldn't trust either

[pure trellis]

Wait wait wait - they even made up a reason

[lapis talon]

Asking again as I can't make my mind up, which one looks better?

One of this is cheaper than the other one

[pure trellis]

How heavy is that case?

[sleek ibex]

Left is Lian Li and Right is Thermalright

[rigid fjord]

they're both fugly

[lapis talon]

Like 12kg I think

[sinful cobalt]

both are shit

[lapis talon]

How'd bro know

[ebon marlin]

They look the same honestly

[pure trellis]

Lol,12kg

[sinful cobalt]

the fans

[lapis talon]

Should I just go for the cheaper one then

[ebon marlin]

It's not hard to differentiate

[lapis talon]

O h

[sleek ibex]

The logo on the case is a dead giveaway

[lapis talon]

Didn't even see that lmao

[sinful cobalt]

maybe I should mod my 5070ti prime

[pure trellis]

Is this person really trying to write a paragraph of human rights in China?

[ebon marlin]

Who and what

[lapis talon]

Do I just go for the Thermalright then? Only problem is that the radiator is exposed, while on the Lian Li, it sits behind the side panel

[pure trellis]

Do you know what you are doing or just for fun?

[sinful cobalt]

im only modding the aesthetic

[ebon marlin]

I think you're better off with an air cooler on that kinda system

[pure trellis]

Oh,that

[ebon jungle]

One day I was watching the news, and the new clips say"oh look, a kid in poverty want a phone to be donated to him, see? Gaming bad!!!"

And another day, some random mom tried to sue PUGB coz their own kid jumped of from a 3 story tall building, when the mom checked her phone, she found out her son was playing PUGB ,

https://www.bastillepost.com/global/article/2487138-13-year-old-chinese-teenager-jumps-to-death-after-playing-popular-video-game-pubg

[sleek ibex]

Which one do you prefer?

[pure trellis]

Yep,full paragraph

[lapis talon]

Well I can't buy an air cooler now as I'm already using an AIO

[ebon marlin]

You can't top mount the aio so you're pulling all the hot air from the cpu back inside

[lapis talon]

I like both, but I've heard Lian Li has a better build and once again, I like it because the radiator is hidden

Thermalright is appealing because it's nearly $100 cheaper with the display, but the radiator is visible

[mellow shadow]

Using an old S4 as a stat monitor

[pure trellis]

Lol

[lapis talon]

I have a 240mm radiator, so I was planning on mounting it at the rear on the Thermalright

Tbh they both look ugly considering my components 🥀

[mellow shadow]

It’s a 3rd monitor so I can put whatever I want on it

How many PC setups have a full 1920x1080 AMOLED display for showing PC stats?

[pure trellis]

Yes

[ebon jungle]

@pure trellis dumb, right?

[pure trellis]

I won't be surprised if it is fake

[ebon jungle]

Welp, that what I saw on the news on tv back I was junior high school

[grizzled nova]

natural selection atp

unless it was mental illness related then its tragic loss

the article doesnt say

[sleek ibex]

Given how cut throat and intense the education curriculum is in Asia in general wouldn't be surprising if that's the case (or a factor)

[pure trellis]

That's almost the textbook definition of misinformation

“NVIDIA Wouldn’t Exist Without Gaming,” Says Microsoft CEO, But the Industry That Made It Possible Now Feels Left Behind

This isn't a good sigh

[ebon jungle]

atp even tv have misinformation

fuck

[lapis talon]

Is Lian Li software that bad?

[elfin echo]

i dont think thats very good

[fallow yacht]

well chatgpt was able to read it lol

gotta cram rn

[wheat torrent]

yes but you shouldn't use this mindset

if you want to use a tool at it's maximum capabilities then you should know more or less what it can do and what can't do and what its weaknesses are

[wheat torrent]

Chatgpt has agentic mode by default, it will run python code, will search the web and will use a few other tools when answering your questions

gemini does not do that by default, it answers how gpt 3.5 would, just giving you the answer based on it's knowleadge

if you use for example something like perplexity you would see a different result in how it works

<@&750150305383186585> ban this hacker

[wheat torrent]

also what is interesting is that Gemini is capable of more, except for some reason google is being hesitant to update gemini.google.com to make it actually a better webpage...........

Like for example if you use their aistudio interface you get like 10 more options to use and it just performs better

[cold skiff]

@buoyant hull you couldn’t hack a tree with a hatchet

[gusty wagon]

What about Brother or Canon?

[wheat torrent]

brother

dont bother

[wheat torrent]

I wonder if there exist some kind of open source control PCB for various displays

so you could take just the screen and nothing else and connect it to a normal computer

nvm

you would have to use display port which kinda defeats the purporse

if it would be possible to do it using USB, which might be possible for older displays

since they won't be pushing 5GBPS

[mellow shadow]

thats gonna be on a display by display basis

[wheat torrent]

but modern phone displays have bigger resolution than your average monitor....

[wheat torrent]

I wish our tech would be more standardized so something like a phone wouldnt turn into ewaste

like if you take a phone there is millions of man hours put into development of every component of that phone

the vibrator thingy, the speaker, the display, the camera... ... ...

but on it's own you can't really do anything with them

they are made to work pretty much with that device specifically only

look at the quality of a pi camera

and compare it to something like a s26 selfie camera....

Oh yeah that one

They're absurdly expensive, but by god are they nice

[fallow yacht]

when i have to complete this half assed research

[wheat torrent]

same colors

[grizzled frost]

yeah

[boreal vine]

[wheat torrent]

I mean it's for visiblity surely

the blue and yellow

[boreal vine]

if i'm using it daily then I might buy that tho

[fallow yacht]

what website is this now

[boreal vine]

eleshopeu

[grizzled frost]

If soldering was something that you did daily and made a bunch of money doing, the JBC makes sense, but otherwise it's totally insane

[boreal vine]

I do make money from it, just not alot

[wheat torrent]

what is your guys most favorite tool you own

[grizzled frost]

LTT store screwdriver

unironically

[boreal vine]

so far I've made about this much

[grizzled frost]

what currency?

[boreal vine]

GBP

I live in the UK

[sullen obsidian]

it's a tool? most use it as a fidget device lol

[grizzled frost]

It's both

[fallow yacht]

well i mean it does have a bit storage inside

[boreal vine]

Galacock s6 max

[wheat torrent]

for me it would be my computer since I use it as a tool but if that does not count then I have some offbrand letherman and I find pretty handy

[grizzled frost]

I carry around 2 drivers and an ifixit mako kit

Those are the only tools i carry with me 24/7

[boreal vine]

• my ziaomi screw driver set

[fallow yacht]

i just have a normal screwdriver big and small

[wheat torrent]

I would love to buy myself some parallel pliers

[boreal vine]

this one

[sleek ibex]

Barrington

[idle junco]

nice

[grizzled frost]

I have the transparent driver with the most common bits i use, and the black dricer with some less common ones

Then the ifixit mako kit for anything else

[boreal vine]

LTT screwdriver costs too much and is too heavy for what I use my tools for

[wheat torrent]

all of those look the same 😭

[grizzled frost]

I do a bunch of macro electronics work, so i get a lot of use out of the ltt driver

(Lighting Designer and master electrician)

[ebon marlin]

Your mom

[boreal vine]

they're an oem brand, fanttik and hoto buys from them but IMO the factory one is much nicer

[sullen obsidian]

I want a ltt version of this dual drive screwdriver

[wheat torrent]

tbh I should find some of these somewhere and buy them

[fallow yacht]

i've seen this before

[wheat torrent]

there were so much cases where I used pliers and having them in parallel would of been a much better tool

[boreal vine]

I work with keyboards and they're a bitch to work withsometimes

[native path]

wish it wasnt so expensive with shipping, would've been on this wave years ago

[grizzled frost]

funny that i get the title "master electrician" despite having zero formal electrician training

[wheat torrent]

but I never seen such thing in my country

[boreal vine]

since the screw holes are too tight

[grizzled frost]

Supposedly the LTT mini driver kit is really good for that

[boreal vine]

I even had to cough up and get some torx drivers just for it

[grizzled frost]

they should have longer blades than most drivers

[boreal vine]

they also don't have an EU depot

[ebon marlin]

Live laugh love ifixit screwdrivers

[boreal vine]

shipping is like 40 $ where I live

[fallow yacht]

me casually vibing with a stanley small screwdriver

[boreal vine]

for that I can just get another Delixi

[grizzled frost]

Ifixit is great for almost everything, their repair tutorials and parts are amazing

[boreal vine]

or nanch if i'm feeling fancy

[grizzled frost]

buying electronics is weird, i either spend like 20usd of my own money, or like 2-20k of the theater's money, no inbetween

[gusty wagon]

I have screwdrivers that're like $3

[fallow yacht]

i don't get the point of the end piece however (i have the bottom one)

[gusty wagon]

And that's all i have

this makes a bit more sense but still i cant bite

[native path]

i picked up a stanley ratcheting screwdriver and ive been enjoying that

[gusty wagon]

Stanley?

[grizzled frost]

super common US brand

[boreal vine]

yeah that's pretty good, i had one before

[native path]

this brand

[grizzled frost]

basically non-existent outside of the US

[boreal vine]

it got stolen

[fallow yacht]

yeah stanley is like the only well known brand we have in the house

[boreal vine]

it exist here in the UK

[grizzled frost]

Oh didn't know that, i've only ever seen it in the US

[boreal vine]

common tools used by woodworkers

[gusty wagon]

Stanley as in this one? https://www.stanley1913.com/

[native path]

actually found a surprising amount in singapore, got my screwdriver for $20 at a local shop

[boreal vine]

tho tbh they get kinda mogged by hilti and milwaukee

[fallow yacht]

not the stanley cup lmao https://www.stanleytools.com/products/hand-tools/screwdrivers-hex-keys/screwdrivers

[native path]

naw this https://www.stanleytools.com/

I associate the yellow branding with karcher

[sleek ibex]

I have a set of these (or rather similar) beside me ATM

[boreal vine]

europilled

[sullen obsidian]

stanley is massive in woodworking/carpentry

[gusty wagon]

When I was in the army they gave me a karcher to wash grime off the pavements

this one in particular is what i have

[fallow yacht]

good for you

[ebon marlin]

any tech stuff i've missed lately i was kinda busy at that time

panther lake is the most recent thing i've ever heard

tbh nothing, tech is really boring rn

more and more ai slop as usual

[native path]

not global news but personally im picking up the m5 mba in the summer

[boreal vine]

macbook neo looks to be decent

[grizzled frost]

I've been using my M3 MBA 13in for years now, and i love it

[boreal vine]

I think it'll kill off alot of the chromebook market

[native path]

yeah holding up really well from what reviewers are saying

[sleek ibex]

[boreal vine]

my work gave me m4 MBP 13 inch

[grizzled frost]

500usd macbook "chromebook" equivalent is gonna sell like hotcakes

[fallow yacht]

my brother has the 16' one

maxxed out i think

[native path]

i was so tempted to preorder the m5 mba, but getting free airpods in the summer makes more sense unfortunately

[grizzled frost]

Through work i get to use an M1 pro and it's quite nice to have a bit more horsepower

[boreal vine]

lfg

[native path]

will be getting the 13 inch as well

[gusty wagon]

With edu discount?

[boreal vine]

I might get mb neo for personal use

[grizzled frost]

I work with theatrical audio/lighting so mac's are the go to for computers

[gusty wagon]

It's a discount of up to S$200

[native path]

indeed

[boreal vine]

though tbh I just upgraded to iphone 17 and have a shit ton of PCs and laptops so it's kinda wasted on me

[gusty wagon]

I wanna take out one for a test drive

The neo too

[grizzled frost]

speaking of edu discount, i need to apply for the free education vectorworks key

[fallow yacht]

17 is at the point where getting a base flagship iphone is worth

[grizzled frost]

i'm not trying to pay 130usd/month for vectorworks

[gusty wagon]

What about 17e?

[grizzled frost]

130usd/month software should be a crime

[fallow yacht]

did i say 17e man?

[native path]

$1138 USD including edu discount grr

im glad i waited for the m5 though, included 512gb storage would help a ton

[gusty wagon]

I want to upgrade my mom's 13 pro max, and my brother's 12 to 17 or 17e

[fallow yacht]

the e in 17e means extremely shit

[grizzled frost]

Actually, it's 170usd/month

with no option for a lifetime key

[boreal vine]

yeah that's why I bit the bullet and got it

[native path]

???

[gusty wagon]

If I head over to mrmobile they might sell it for $50-$100 lower than msrp

[native path]

time for

[grizzled frost]

Vectorworks spotlight, theatrical lighting software that is absurdly expensive for no good reason

[grizzled frost]

It's updated super frequently, so extremely hard to find pirated copies

They do have a free education key, but there's an application process

[native path]

i'm unfamiliar with the industry, is it pretty much the company offering such software?

[grizzled frost]

Yep, vectorworks is an extremely greedy company

[native path]

great a monopoly

[grizzled frost]

it's great software, but so overpriced

[gusty wagon]

It's to subsidise education keys

[boreal vine]

fuck it might as well buy a glue gun as well

[grizzled frost]

it's a locally run software with no cloud services, there's no added cost for the company for education keys

[fallow yacht]

lol you remember these at school when u were not bri'ish yet?

[boreal vine]

yep I had one

[gusty wagon]

You subsidise someone else's education key

[boreal vine]

I used to make flower bouquets with them

[grizzled frost]

There's no added cost to the company for the education key, so there's nothing to subsidize

[gusty wagon]

Omg i had these when i was trying out those houses with ice cream sticks

[grizzled frost]

They could hand out an education key to every school in the world and have 0 added costs

[fallow yacht]

hopefully ts exists here lol people will be livid buying this thing

[boreal vine]

I just got a wireless one now

welcome to the 21st century

[gusty wagon]

Well, it's a loss of potential profit and they have to factor in that loss of profit to customers

[grizzled frost]

Yeah that does not justify 170usd/month, again with no option for a lifetime key

oh and that 170usd/month doesn't include any classes or guides on how to use said software

[native path]

any yearly discount?

[gusty wagon]

Dividends tho

[grizzled frost]

yes, but only down to 127usd/month

[fallow yacht]

i just imagine one of my classmates getting that and be like "haha imagine being stuck at a certain spot you slapsoils"

[native path]

eh, i mean it's more reasonable

still scummy

[grizzled frost]

1530usd/year ain't reasonable

[boreal vine]

[gusty wagon]

Does it need an internet connection for any drm?

[grizzled frost]

the reason the price is so high is they have very little competition, and they also have special deals with lighting manufacturers to use models

[grizzled frost]

I believe so, yes, i've never had the chance to work hands on with it

[grizzled frost]

(lighting manufacturers give them exact 3d models of fixtures that aren't publicly available)

[gusty wagon]

You got to be a shareholder

[boreal vine]

I'm living the beige bitch life style

[grizzled frost]

I do have a contact at the local state university's theatrical department that i could ask to borrow his key

well fuck ai for that

[kindred halo]

Their high end iGPUs are on the laptops

Desktops have lower end

[grizzled frost]

fuck AI for ruining my dreams of lots of ddr4 in my servers

[fallow yacht]

cuz intel believes most desktop users slap in a gpu anyway

[kindred halo]

[kindred halo]

[fallow yacht]

[grizzled frost]

went from my dreams being like 600usd/server to 6000usd/server

[grizzled frost]

i could sell the ddr3 from my NAS for like 2kusd

1633?

There's faster than 1600 for DDR3?

Brother i'd go for their laser ones if possible, but he asked for ones he can go cheap on essetially

[sinful cobalt]

ruined my plans for ARL tbh

[kindred halo]

Bloody hell...

[grizzled frost]

216 days of uptime lol

[kindred halo]

Uptime as in actually turned on, or shut down but with fast boot on

[gusty wagon]

Cheap laser printers usually come with expensive cartridges

?

[grizzled frost]

actually turned on, hasn't been turned off at all

i don't think fastboot is even an option on this board

you guys think a 1070 would work fine in a pcie x8 slot if it's only used for jellyfin encoding?

[native path]

my os is yelling at me because my x540-t2 isnt in a slot with all 8 lanes so i gotta move that to the first slot

[kindred halo]

I'd say that's horrid, but it's a NAS so makes sense

What program should I use to test for artifacts? So far I've used Furmark and OCCT but both show that there's nothing wrong with my GPU. I have freezes, artifacts and audio loops while playing certain games.

[grizzled frost]

the games that cause artifacts

[still valve]

Dark Souls Remastered, Dark Souls 3 and Roblox

RX 6600

[grizzled frost]

those are the best programs to test for artifacts

[still valve]

Dang I'm out of luck then

I did downgrade my driver using DDU but still

Could a bad nvme cause this?

[grizzled frost]

unlikely

[kindred halo]

Try an SSD test

[still valve]

CrystalDiskMark?

[rigid fjord]

They last a long time which is worth it, initial high cost for a cheap overall long time cost

[gusty wagon]

try tm5 on pcbdestroyer preset. If that passes, try running both p95 small fft WITH occt vram together

If they all pass and you still had artefacts, try reducing your pcie from 4.0 to 3.0

[gleaming rose]

:3

[hallow jasper]

i chuckled

but no, it cant be that simple

[kindred halo]

OCCT has one

And it shows errors

[gusty wagon]

And if reducing your pcie link speed still cause you artefacts, try sfc scannow and dism restorehealth

If those don't stop it, reset your cmos and failing that, upgrade your bios

[hallow jasper]

graphical artifacts in games? almost certainly not

[gusty wagon]

If you still get artefacts, try removing msi afterburner and disabling MPO

The next best solution would be to reduce your partition size and try a secondary clean windows or linux install and run the games from there

If those cause problems, try another gpu, ram and cpu in that order

Unless you're using a sata ssd and you're somewhat sure you've got a bad sata cable

Then a sata cable replacement or moving your header to another slot might fix your problems

But if a storage drive starts failing your ssd software would tell you about it via SMART

[sinful cobalt]

i got a custom sata cable just so it was easier to cable manage

thats why im wondering if anyone has had a dud nic that negotiated to 10gbps but didn't actually get the full 10gbps

[hallow jasper]

At those speeds, software and protocols used play a huge role.

[sand meteor]

This shouldn't need to be stated on a label its common sense 😭

[deep musk]

Is it a prebuilt with some oem software that messes with network activity (we had to reinstall win11 on my gf’s Lenovo cause their bullshit was “managing” network “priorities”)?

[hallow jasper]

You have to start talking to people who deal in enterprise level stuff at that point. 10Gb/s in the home is nearly pointless in most cases as most people are not setup to properly saturate it

[native path]

thats true, i mean i installed some random win10 driver i found online for this nic

[rigid fjord]

you're likely need to set the nic in windows/whatever OS to fully use 10Gbe and not autonegotiate the connection speed

[native path]

nope

[deep musk]

Good start

[native path]

ive set speed to 10gbps and enabled jumbo frames, no dice

[hallow jasper]

The 5.25" area was where my reservoir was, and I didn't have any HDD's by that point.

[native path]

nope

[rigid fjord]

it's had a couple issues regarding stability, mainly related to easy anti cheat

[deep musk]

If you change the nic (if possible), does it use the full 10gb/s?

[obtuse yew]

How so?

[native path]

i could but i couldnt really be bothered to open up and swap the nics, at the end of the day i'd need to buy a new one anyway and i probably wont

[deep musk]

Yeah, but that way you can make sure to know if it’s a nic issue or something else

[rigid fjord]

bsod been happening with it, couple scheduler bugs also, though tbf for intel laptops i'd still suggest it over any other intel mobile cpu til panther lake is fully released

[obtuse yew]

Huh, I've never had that issue before, either way I was talking more on the lines of stability problems that will kill your pc

[rigid fjord]

most won't, but it's been enough that's reported apparently

[obtuse yew]

Huh

Why specifically easy

[plain cypress]

https://youtu.be/V5a6qvETnNg

I really wish we had smartphone competition in the US

[obtuse yew]

I love when thumbnails show a red arrow pointing to a random part of a product saying that is what makes it better with absolutely zero elaboration

[plain cypress]

Yeah thumbnails suck
But Chinese phones so good 😭

[clear canyon]

Hello /s

[serene python]

@rigid fjord i got my lead free kit lets try and see how this goes

[rigid fjord]

depending on the chip in the nic, might be worth re-enabling teaming/network load balancing via registry/drivers

[rigid fjord]

sweet, got anything to test it with before fully commiting for the keyboard?

[serene python]

no

we ball

[rigid fjord]

would have gotten something so you could adjust temps and timing to see how it flows, but w/e

[obtuse yew]

[serene python]

i did get an iron with an adjustable temp

[obtuse yew]

I've never used lead free solder, is it as bad as I am told or am I just misinformed?

[serene python]

from 180c to 500c

[rigid fjord]

misinformed tbh

when you know the right temps and how long to use the iron with it, it'll flow just right

[obtuse yew]

Huh, my dad taught me everything I know about soldering and he exclusively uses leaded silvered solder so I just assumed that it was the only way to go

[rigid fjord]

there's lead free silvered solder that flows well tbf, just as good as the leaded stuff, been using it for a while

[obtuse yew]

Huh

I'll stick with my leaded but I'll keep that in mind

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09LDCZGH1/ the lead free version of the same kind

silver, copper, nickle combo

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09LDCTH7X/ the leaded silver one

[cinder glen]

^

[obtuse yew]

Right now I'm just using a kester roll that looks like it has been passed down through several generations

[cinder glen]

I have always used lead free solder, and even my first time I remember it not being hard to use at all. Maybe leaded is easier, but that doesnt mean lead free is hard

[rigid fjord]

i have a lead free one like that also, 500g roll now down to about 200g left

if i ever need to touch a leaded solder it'll be for pipe work

[obtuse yew]

I'm using my solder mainly for collecting the leftover off boards rn so the lower melting point def helps

[white mirage]

I have 9800X3D , 4090 , Any upgrades i should do ? It's been 2 years no upgrade

[cinder glen]

I dont see a reason to upgrade from that

[nova lotus]

Is there any reason to not have a loop's pump at 80-100% all the time? From what I've seen its a massive change in Hfilm for not a whole lot of extra noise

[snow mauve]

prepare to shell out some $ lol

[obtuse yew]

This feels like the kind of question that people only ask to flex their hardware knowing full well that they don't need an upgrade

[rigid fjord]

none worth it for now not until geforce rtx 6000/7000 series

[rigid fjord]

more than often, then there's the odd troll pcpp build

[obtuse yew]

Troll pcpp build reminds me of that one guy I knew with an 8350 paired with a 3070

[rigid fjord]

wait til you see one with a 13900k/14900k + 4090/5090

[obtuse yew]

Housefire build

[nova lotus]

I mean I got a 9900k with a 3080TI

Big chillin

It does the things I require

I dont really get the whole upgrade every year thing

Im still playing the same games

[sinful cobalt]

i have a 9950x3d with an upcoming 5060ti

[obtuse yew]

I'd still call that reasonable tbh

[sinful cobalt]

and i have a 265k with a 5090

[rigid fjord]

if you're doing more than gaming with the system, it be fine, if it's just gaming, that 9950x3d isn't worth it over a 9800x3d/9850x3d tbh

[sinful cobalt]

i dont need you to give any lectures

[obtuse yew]

Can't a 265k be paired with just about anything?

[rigid fjord]

it could, but tbf that cpu is better for production work

[obtuse yew]

Really depends on price, that particular chip seems to jump around a lot

[sinful cobalt]

heres the thing- Am I telling the truth or capping?

[obtuse yew]

I got mine for 215 but they usually seem to go for closer to 290?

[sinful cobalt]

one truth one lie

which do you think is which

[rigid fjord]

jumps around but when you're looking for gaming use, you really don't want a core ultra 200 series

[obtuse yew]

Im guessing the first is the truth tbh

[obtuse yew]

Since when is the 14600k on par with a 5800x3d

[sinful cobalt]

i dont have a 5060ti haiya

[rigid fjord]

since when it was a raptor lake refresh

14600k = 13600k as it is with a small OC to it

[obtuse yew]

With all of the glaze I see for it I just assumed it was a hydrogen bomb

[sinful cobalt]

yet

[obtuse yew]

PEAK

[rigid fjord]

i know a specific set of ram that would match this

[obtuse yew]

I do have to ask when this benchmark was released tho, Intel has done quite a few performance improvements since launch

[sinful cobalt]

which is

[rigid fjord]

2024 apparently for that one. even a newer one doesn't show it any better

[sinful cobalt]

so anyways

[fallow yacht]

this shit now costs someone's gaming pc

[sinful cobalt]

me asf

[hallow jasper]

latest from TPU when 9850x3D release a few weeks ago

[fallow yacht]

damn i should've bought those ddr5 rams instead of being poor af

[obtuse yew]

9700x is more in line with what I was assuming it competed with

[sinful cobalt]

intel finewine

[hallow jasper]

Core Ultra series was never the gamers pick

[fringe prairie]

9900x is what i would say it competes with performance wise

[hallow jasper]

that new $300 one released today though, pretty nice deal if you already have a board

[obtuse yew]

I'm considering it

[sinful cobalt]

are you a time traveller that only went back 2-3 weeks

[cold skiff]

My 7800x3d still holding up then

[hallow jasper]

hrmmmmm?

[obtuse yew]

In a straight up multi core drag race benchmark I would expect that but not in gaming

[hallow jasper]

For sure. (i'm still using one too)

Outside of a few annoying UE5 titles, at 4K, 7800x3D has no problem keeping a 4090 fed.

[rigid fjord]

one of the best gaming cpu's tbh

[obtuse yew]

I am expecting that to be the new 4790k

[rigid fjord]

it's way past that

[sinful cobalt]

I’d say its level of relevancy would be at a 1080ti

[rigid fjord]

nah, that would be a 5800x3d

[hallow jasper]

time will tell. 5800x3D fell further behind than people realize. 13 spots on that TPU list, its not even on there.

Zen6/NVL release will be interesting for 7800x3D

[rigid fjord]

it's more the fact of how a 5800x3d's performance for a good portion is no better than a 7600x

[sleek remnant]

how its bugged

[rigid fjord]

considering how the performance of a 1080ti = 3060 perfomance tbf

[unique aspen]

gaming

[lapis talon]

Is this worth $185 USD?

[lapis talon]

@rigid fjord

[rigid fjord]

what cpu is with it?

[carmine yew]

that's about msrp it seems, so....

[rigid fjord]

which is why i be asking about what cpu is with it

[lapis talon]

Not included lol

[rigid fjord]

not worth it by miles then

[lapis talon]

Costs $280 USD in my region for a new one

[carmine yew]

if 180 usd is a reasonable price for an AM5 board in your region? do it.

In the US, I wouldn't buy it at that price.

[lapis talon]

Only if my current b650 mATX didn't look so uglyyy

[carmine yew]

who cares how the board looks?

[lapis talon]

It's really good for a full ATX

[rigid fjord]

i wouldn't go for it when a b650/b850 are the better options

[lapis talon]

Looks tiny in comparison to my case and my GPU

[rigid fjord]

not really, that's a low end x870

[carmine yew]

Vertical mount the GPU and ignore it

[lapis talon]

MSI gaming plus b850 costs $250 USD

[lapis talon]

Ah

[lapis talon]

Oh I didn't even think about that

[rigid fjord]

and would be better than that x870

[carmine yew]

or get a smaller case

Lian Li A3 are baller mATX cases

[lapis talon]

Oooo

[hallow jasper]

what is your max limit?

[rigid fjord]

believe he's converting sgd to usd dude

[lapis talon]

I like how big cases looks, albeit I don't have that much space on my desk for something too big

[lapis talon]

$200 USD id say

[carmine yew]

look at the Cooler Master Vertical GPU Mount, you won't see shit behind it

[lapis talon]

Nope, BDT to USD

[south arrow]

Aloot of decent mobo deals rn for AM5 butttt not sure if 32mb what features myte get excluded from next gen if any

[rigid fjord]

ah, so getting screwed due to india

[hallow jasper]

Well, conversions make this task almost pointless but here are your AM5 mATX options under $200 US. Pick what you like best. https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#c=160,169&f=7&sort=price&page=1&X=0,20000

[south arrow]

I wanted to snag one but theres only like 4-5 so far that ive tracked with 64mb bios chips

[lapis talon]

What parts do I need for vertical mounting? Does the cooler master kit have everything?

[carmine yew]

https://youtu.be/slvKlCH9szs?si=8CF6bvYVrT9m1OKs

Just look for the new one thats PCIE Gen 4 (maybe they have a gen 5 by now?)

[lapis talon]

Getting screwed due to my own government in Bangladesh, and also partly because of India (Bangladesh ISNT a part of India)

[lapis talon]

Won't vetical mounting make the Nitro+ 9070xt look bad though?

[wheat torrent]

Wouldn't b650 be less expensive

[hallow jasper]

seem very concerned with looks

[rigid fjord]

nope, and tbh there's multiple verticle mounts you can choose from

[hallow jasper]

sometimes yes, sometimes no. its been replaced so stock is limited

[lapis talon]

Min maxed performance and price all these years, trying to focus on aesthetics this time around

[carmine yew]

Is there an attractive side to this GPU?

[rigid fjord]

the rear

[lapis talon]

It looks like a brick and uhhh

[hallow jasper]

Not a good combination when also shopping on a budget

[lapis talon]

I know 🥀🥀

[wheat torrent]

Talking about looks of GPU....
It makes no sense to care how the GPU looks if it is mounted traditionally you can only see the top which is just a plate usually and the side....

[lapis talon]

The top panel?

Detachable top panel

[flat cliff]

I don't know what happened to my little packet of thermal grease for swapping the nozzle on my 3D printer

That said I do have real CPU thermal paste, can I use that or is it not rated to get hot enough as a CPU gonna thermal throttle before 200c and don't use it?

[hallow jasper]

vertical mounting an air cooled card looks pretty dumb, imo.

[rigid fjord]

sadly the nitro's have gone from good looking to a brick

[lapis talon]

Real

[lapis talon]

Looks nice with aorus cards

[wheat torrent]

I like proArt GPUs

[carmine yew]

this one looked solid vertical:

[wheat torrent]

I think they are done with taste

[hallow jasper]

never heard of greasing the nozzle. https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1p3qwhf/silicon_grease_for_nozzle_change/

[rigid fjord]

6000 series they looked good still, 7000 series only the pure line was the only decent looking one

[hallow jasper]

but thermal paste is not silicone grease

[wheat torrent]

Yum

[lapis talon]

What

[rigid fjord]

looks nice from the front and rear tbh

[lapis talon]

Pure still looks decent in 9000 series

[rigid fjord]

lian li, coolermaster, ezdiy-fab, nzxt

[wheat torrent]

Yeah I think it tasteful done

[lapis talon]

No like is there a difference?

[sinful cobalt]

proceeds to get homework copied by 50 series prime

[hallow jasper]

you need one compatible with your case

[lapis talon]

Oh brah

Also I feel like vertically mounting it would put a lot of pressure on the cable

[wheat torrent]

I also like this one from lanner

Very clean

[lapis talon]

12-2x6 that's already running a crazy bend at the GPU connector end

[hallow jasper]

The A770 LE look

[wheat torrent]

Eh this is less classy

Don't like it

[rigid fjord]

6000 series

[south arrow]

Gives underglow car neon vibes

https://tenor.com/view/skyline-r34-gtr-car-vehicle-gif-5706605

[rigid fjord]

7000 series pure

the frostpunk set specifical

[south arrow]

o_0

White and black build then xD

[carmine yew]

part of me has an overwhelming need to do a tron themed build with these:

[rigid fjord]

yeah, you kinda want to get a lian li evo case and do their version of vertically mounting it from the top

[wheat torrent]

This image still lingers in the back of my mind

[south arrow]

Chungusss

[wheat torrent]

Just make it wider and bigger they said

[flat cliff]

Creality does it differently.

They do not have quick release nozzles. They have the old (although slightly cheaper) manual need to heat up the nozzle and unscrew just the tip before screwing in the new nozzle.

That's not the same and not the point you would grease anyways.
