the final line is just dumb

"Can you even truly claim it's open source when it's using AI generated code?"

yes. because you can sit down and freaking read the code bro

hate ai as much as the next guy but its not going anywhere and the reluctancy to utilise tools we have now is the reason a lot of people fail at what they go out to do ai related or not

[median warren]

what to do with an old pc case, thats already damage/kinda useless

i reused all the old parts of the last pc, apart from this old case and the aio

both are about 8 years old

[solemn pewter]

If it’s damaged, dismantle it and take the parts to a recycle center. Or repair it and resell it.

[median warren]

ill do the first, i just want to make sure i dont contribute to e waste

what about the tempered glass side panel?

is that recycable?

[solemn pewter]

Some places have glass recycling, but it’s less common

[median warren]

okay okay

[topaz flicker]

Anyone know a low profile keyboard with a metal frame, media controls and rgb

[solemn pewter]

Does the G915 still exist? That one was really nice

[hallow jasper]

Oh, do that one instead, didn’t realize keychron had low profile

[wheat torrent]

I want to get a better keyboard

and there are those small keyboards from china that people say are pretty good and affordable

but im not sure how I would feel giving up my numpad

[ebon marlin]

Numpads are for gays

[latent pasture]

what do u call those keyboards that r like laptops with numpad
they have the numpad but not the 'middle part' with like page down up, ins home del

[glacial dune]

hmm hi

[ebon marlin]

It's like 96%

[glacial dune]

i was installing claude

[wheat torrent]

yeah and I need all 6 ins/home/pgup

[ebon marlin]

It had a very weird %

[glacial dune]

and it says it get access to local files

[latent pasture]

what abt it

[glacial dune]

something to be worried of?

[ebon marlin]

Nvm 95%

[latent pasture]

all programs access ur local files (?)

[glacial dune]

idk

[wheat torrent]

75% is the one I want to get but idk

I don't think I can give up the other 25%

[hallow jasper]

I prefer 75's for most of my machines.

I needed something quick and dirty and picked up a Redragon K673 Pro for work.

For $45, kinda blown away

[sleek ibex]

75% is the lowest I can do

[hallow jasper]

Hot swap, wireless, all the stupid RGB, feels great. Kinda wild what you can get these days for less than $50.

meanwhile my $300 GMMK Pro at home is in a sorry state of disrepair. I have to "learn" the keyboard hobby tricks to get it feeling good again

[latent pasture]

redragon counters all criticism with "yeah but its $30"

[hallow jasper]

so a removable numpad?

[hallow jasper]

oh

[tulip sparrow]

Left handed numpad

Bloody B945

[valid otter]

what about removable WASD?

[valid otter]

how do you play it with that

[hallow jasper]

Not sure what you mean

[valid otter]

a tetris buttons

[hallow jasper]

So is your mouse on the left side?

[hallow jasper]

Still dunno what you're talking about dude

WASD keys are part of the main keyboard. what do you mean by having them be removable

[tulip sparrow]

@hallow jasper Nope right side

[tulip sparrow]

Like a normal keyboard?

@hallow jasper AKA it allows my hands and shoulders be be closer together instead of being spread out causing issues

PArt of the reson I use a controller at times

[valid otter]

i mean as right handed person

[tulip sparrow]

Left handed numpad is extremely userful for older games that use mouse and arrow keys

I have no issues using the numpad left handed personally if that is what you asking. I can do a number of things better with my left then I cna my right

[valid otter]

i mean, its easy for you and other people with left handed

i tried using my mouse with left hand before and it was bit hard or very hard to use

[tulip sparrow]

I am blind in my right eye so yeah I have learned to do some things left handed thanks to that

[valid otter]

Me have problem :/

[hallow jasper]

i'm in too deep. sunk cost fallacy is in full swing

[drowsy isle]

steamlink even with a gigabit up on host and 500mb down on client still painful to use

wish valve would update it

[hallow jasper]

The 2015 hardware Steamlink box?

in a LAN environment?

[drowsy isle]

I meant remote play

[hallow jasper]

What are you doing?

[wild river]

hello

[hallow jasper]

Thats not a Steam issue, thats a WAN latency issue

unless you're on LAN, not really clear what you're doing

[drowsy isle]

Just playing remotely, streaming games from my pc

[wild river]

can some help me i have a 16gb ram and anytime i check ram usage about 70% of my ram is going for background processes it is bottlenecking my projects and my games plz help

[hallow jasper]

Sure. But doing that over the internet where there are uncontrollably variables, vs. a LAN environment are two very different things

[drowsy isle]

however it is incredibly unusable, nvidia geforce now and amazon luna are way more usable but don't want to pay monthly

[odd marsh]

i mean do you run out of ram in games? if you're just chilling in windows, windows will use as much ram as it wants

[hallow jasper]

Task Manager and/or Process Explorer can help you identify whats running. With only 16GB of system RAM, purging your Startup items is necessary. Micromanage what you have running at all times.

[wild river]

like last month all my game used to crash but to no ram but it stopped

[hallow jasper]

Be very familiar with this menu

[odd marsh]

like guilty said, purge startup items and potentially just reinstall windows

[hallow jasper]

disable as much as possible

[wild river]

i did the only startup apps i use are discord and powertoys

[drowsy isle]

yeah was really hoping to do some cloud gaming looks like I'll just have to use geforce now instead

[wild river]

only 4 apps

[drowsy isle]

Seems like 1 gigabit upload on host is still not enough to stream games off of even at 1080p

[left dove]

????

the fuck what

in what gd world is 110MB/s not enough for low-latency streaming

[native path]

that doesn't sound right

[left dove]

like what crack are you smoking bud

[native path]

i was streaming games off my ps5 on 250mbps WAN perfectly alright

[drowsy isle]

Remote play on my PC is awful despite both client and host being 1 gigabit down and up

[left dove]

its not using 1 gigabit the whole time you donut

[hallow jasper]

Either you have terrible latency along that link (which is an ISP / general internet issue) or Steam's servers for remote play are trash.

[median warren]

Steam remote play does have considerable latency, from my experience

But again, could just also be my isp

[hallow jasper]

Try Parsec

[native path]

i recently heard of a friend who uses geforce now in a science lab on his phone lol i think gigabit upload would be perfectly alright

[drowsy isle]

geforce now runs perfectly so does amazon luna

but streaming off my home PC is awful

[left dove]

no remote play system uses a 1gbit pipe 😭

[native path]

what are you using to stream it

[hallow jasper]

Ok clear this up for me. Steam Remote Play, are games running on a PC you own at your home, and being streamed out of the internet?

Because GFN doesn't do that

[drowsy isle]

yes

[drowsy isle]

I know

[hallow jasper]

Ok, try Parsec

If thats crap too, then the issues are likely with your home ISP

bandwidth isn't the concern, its latency

[shrewd pumice]

YO any1 can help with fast internet question??

[hallow jasper]

dunno, you haven't asked it yet

[drowsy isle]

Can't really get a different isp and already overpay $125 a month for them

is what it is if I can't do anything about it

[hallow jasper]

I'm not suggesting a different ISP, just trying a different service for home game streaming

[native path]

$125 for gigabit?

[tulip depot]

Have you tried moonlight and sunshine or parsac

[hallow jasper]

Moonlight/Sunshine is quite a bit more involved as its entirley self hosted. Parsec is the closest analog to Steam Remote Play

[drowsy isle]

Would not connect to my PC no matter what I tried, disabled firewall and windows defender and nothing

I'll try parsec

[shrewd pumice]

upgraded from 100 to 300 a couple weeks ago and still have had 100 so contacted bhanhof support and we came to the conclusion that i maybe need a new router. the router should be able to do 300 but he said it degrades alot over time. But when i check status on the connection in my pc it says "Speed 100 mbs" but if i have cat 6 cable connected shouldnt it say 1gbps even tho i dont have it. if any1 even understand my question?

[tulip depot]

wifi is overpriced in texas

[native path]

goodness

[tulip depot]

pretty much just at&t and spectrum fucking everyone up

[shrewd pumice]

guess the question is if there is any way to be sure that router is just degraded so i cant go over 100 or if its any other problem?

[native path]

are you plugged directly into the router?

[drowsy isle]

2 gigabit download but upload is only 1 gigabit

don't always hit

wifi plans are pretty shitty in texas

[native path]

i see that's still overpriced as hell dang

[sharp ivy]

I know the issue now BTW. It needs either DRAM chips or a RAM card to boot and it has neither. I can get DRAM chips for $5 for a 5 pack

[drowsy isle]

my friends get 5 gig for the same price I pay

[native path]

everyone here in singapore as it good heh

[drowsy isle]

but nothing I can really do and 5 gig for me would be $245 a month

[shrewd pumice]

yeah i was and it said 100 mbps on status then i plugged right into fiber box and it said 1 gbps. i havge cat6

also have cat6 from fiber box into router

[native path]

so you're plugged directly into the router right? no switch in between

[hallow jasper]

Wifi??

[shrewd pumice]

right now im plugged into fiber box

[hallow jasper]

If Wifi is in use in this chain, thats likely your problem

[drowsy isle]

yes well dallas specifically

[hallow jasper]

Eleminate all wireless links

[drowsy isle]

I'm using ethernet for the home PC

[native path]

your pc is plugged into the fiber box?

[hallow jasper]

I'm confused, are you using Wifi or wired ethernet?

[shrewd pumice]

yup

[native path]

so when plugged into the fiber box it says 1gbps
when plugged into the router it says 100mbps

[left dove]

why cant people just clearly communicate the dumb shit they're doing

[shrewd pumice]

yeah exactly

[left dove]

get a new router that isn't 20 years old

[native path]

yeah that

[drowsy isle]

I'm using wired ethernet for the PC, I was just talking about how much internet cost here

[hallow jasper]

Ok. FYI, "Wifi" is a name for wireless in home networking.

[shrewd pumice]

lmao its maybe 6 or 7 years old, would think i would atleast see some kind of difference when changing from 100 to 300 its like the router is just stuck at 100 lol

[hallow jasper]

@odd marsh

[odd marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/elf-will-ferrell-shout-excited-happy-gif-3570641

[native path]

do you know the model of the router

[tulip depot]

They also do scummy shit like this, they start with a low monthly price and then increase over time. lmao

You can see the real price right above

[shrewd pumice]

RT-N12+

[native path]

here it's a little less scummy but people can definitely fall for it, fixed priced for 24 months then goes back to the original price below

[native path]

you'll need a new router if you want wired 300mbps

[shrewd pumice]

$50 for 1gbps here✌️

[tulip depot]

Yeah prices in the US are terrible and since these service providers have so much power nothing ever happens to them

[shrewd pumice]

lol what

[native path]

from what im seeing you cant get 300mbps WAN

so if you plug your cable from your fiber box into your WAN port you cant reach those speeds

but your pc isn't negotiate to 300mbps and it can't negotiate to 1gbps since the port on your router doesn't support that

so it drops down to 100

[shrewd pumice]

yeah thats what i have done. but so wireless speed should be 300 then??

[native path]

idk probably

I/O Ports
RJ45 for 10/100 BaseT for WAN x 1, RJ45 for 10/100 BaseT for LAN x 4

well no actually

[native path]

edit: you can't

[drowsy isle]

How'd you even get them to work? I wasted 2 hours and got no results. It was a big waste of time

My PC never showed up on the client even when I turned off my firewall

and also did the manual bypass

[shrewd pumice]

wireless speeds are max 50 mbps right next to router on my phone lol, maybe time for new router i guess

[full tinsel]

lol I just looked up the spec on asus homepage, tttthey cant honestly be delivering that with just 10/100 RJ45?

[tulip depot]

it just showed up for me

[native path]

i think they're advertising the maximum speed for wifi 4 on 2.4ghz

[drowsy isle]

which is why I think parsec will do the same thing

[full tinsel]

Yup....the actual WAN connection can max be 100 Mbit..because the ethernet ports are not even 1 Gbit jesus christ.

[native path]

more scum!

[shrewd pumice]

still bad for being old? 🤓

[native path]

the ports are max 100mbps it's bad

[drowsy isle]

steam remote play works easily but latency is utter shit even when on the same network. When I use virtual desktop on my meta quest 3 it runs flawlessly and i can run the "godlike setting" max bandwidth no latency @tulip depot

[full tinsel]

But I mean bu the time it was released 1 Gbit still feels like it would have been normal for an RJ45 port..

[ebon marlin]

Huawei 70 Pro lowkey goated

[shrewd pumice]

alr time to look for new router then mby even go for the 1gbps upgrade also, only like $5 more expensive

[drowsy isle]

The lenses on that thing

[ebon marlin]

For a reason

Huawei has one of the best mobile cameras

[drowsy isle]

well of course

otherwise would be completely ridiculous

[shrewd pumice]

any1 got recomendations for router brands?

[tulip depot]

Wish the US market would have more competition, chinese phones have gotten really good.

[fringe prairie]

you can import tbf. places like wondamobile sell ximi, oppo, etc

[tulip depot]

Which is why I think if China does enter the ram market or starts bringing out great value GPUs they would immediately be banned and you'd be reudced to getting them from shady sellers off ebay unless you're in a country that doesn't care

[fringe prairie]

you just have to check band compatibility

[ebon marlin]

chinese rom phones are awful though

I have one with a chinese rom a Realme GT 7 Pro and it's poop

great phone but software ruins it

[rigid fjord]

that's a pain, and it'll be sdram/ram not dram essentially, though if you get a card for it, it'll be using edo-ram which might be a real pain to get if it's not a cache card that takes individual chips

[drowsy isle]

True options in the US are samsung, apple, or google for flagship phones pretty much but they all still bring pretty serious competition to the table. You can just import these phones

[rigid fjord]

said board as cursed as it can be @sharp ivy

[drowsy isle]

but would be nice to buy one of these phones from your carrier or the local best buy/microcenter

[rigid fjord]

said other cursed cache board

[cold skiff]

That’s beautiful

[rigid fjord]

[cold skiff]

[rigid fjord]

[cold skiff]

Or for the period. Loads of tiny heatsinks

[rigid fjord]

nah, for the period, no heatsink

[cold skiff]

[sacred thicket]

hey guys don't know if this is the right chat but been having gpu hotspot (vram) temp issues with my 3080 and it's crashing my pc under heavy load. Going to buy thermal paste and replace it I think, should I do both paste and thermal pads or what do you reckon?

[grizzled frost]

how exactly would paste help vram temps

[pure trellis]

So, iPhone fold is a thing, finally. How it shows itself,so far?

[rigid fjord]

gotta remove the heatsink from the core to redo the pads if i remember correctly

[grizzled frost]

I mean they're asking whether or not they should do pads

[sacred thicket]

well, that's why I'm here I'm not too savvy on this x) But people have reported on reviews that it reduced their vram temps so idk

[grizzled frost]

people are schizophrenic, in no way shape or form would new paste fix vram temp issues

[rigid fjord]

if he goes copper shim mod instead of pads, then yeah paste is required on the vram instead

[grizzled frost]

If you want to see any improvement with VRAM temps, you gotta replace those pads

[sacred thicket]

Ok cool, I'll give pads a try then thank you

[rigid fjord]

copper shim mod is the only reason to use paste on the vram

but yeah, better pads at the correct thickness is what you want, or to use thermal putty

[sacred thicket]

Any idea at the top of your head what I should be looking for? I have a 3080

[grizzled frost]

Depends on the exact model

[long cradle]

Anyone here have one of these?
Tryna think of some interesting programs to write for it.

ram is directly soldered onto the cpu, and storage next to it iirc

i mean it is a phone chip afterall

[pure trellis]

AMD, Broadcom, and Nvidia join hyperscalers to define optical scale-up interconnect of the future for AI clusters — Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI to benefit as speeds eventually scale to 3.2 Tb/s

[latent gull]

looks like the rest of it is sensor and battery

[stray portal]

Hmm looking back, maybe instead of a pc i couldve gotten like a mac mini and then an xbox for games

Wouldve still been a good experience

[gusty basin]

can somebody help me with this i'm trying to connect my laptop to my 360hz monitor using type c to dp but whenever i connect it just doesn't work at all

but when i connect the same cable it will work with my macbook

is it because of my laptop port

[latent gull]

Does the type c port accept DP alt?

[brave brook]

bottom row is speakers and touchpad. middle is battery. Top is motehrboard and other stuff

[gusty basin]

what is dp alt

[brave brook]

usb-c is just a connector type. the laptop needs to be able to output displayport signal through usb-c for that to work

[gusty basin]

the laptop model is victus 15 or something it has a 3050 and i5 13th

[latent gull]

The thing that lets USB-C ports work with DisplayPort monitors

[brave brook]

so there is a high chance that your USB-C on that laptop is just USB and has no support for displayport

[latent gull]

I recommend pulling up the manual for that pc and seeing what the port actually is

The Mac probably has a thunderbolt port which can support the DP

[stray portal]

Why that? Does it not have hdmi

Its a lot easier with hdmi

[gusty basin]

the port is like this

[gusty basin]

it does but i need dp for 360hz

or else it can only get to 240

[brave brook]

figure out the exacxt model

[latent gull]

….oh no… only 240….

From a gaming laptop….

[gusty basin]

i mean it's kinda whatever i can get to 360fps but i bought this monitor for 360hz so i just wanna see the money i spent

[latent gull]

Can a 3050 even drive 360hz effectively?

[stray portal]

Maybe its ur cable? Does ur laptop port even support 360hz

[latent gull]

Laptop 3050 even

[stray portal]

if its one of those bad laptop 3050s then not at all, i had one of those and it struggled in 1080p 60hz

It had a good cpu even, ryzen 6600h

[gusty basin]

how come after a few tweak i can play 240 in overwatch

[tall sandal]

Just got a new laptop.

[gusty basin]

but im talking about val like i can get up to 380 or something around there

[tall sandal]

Last one I got we had to return as it was defective

[gusty basin]

so i don't think it's useless try to get to 360

[tall sandal]

had an issue with the screen kept going frozen and blacking out

[stray portal]

Well it obviously depends on the game, valorant isnt anything demanding

[tall sandal]

Man the Ryzen 9 7940HX is a MONSTER

basically a desktop cpu in a laptop

[gusty basin]

yeah so i guess stop shaming my 3050

[stray portal]

But i dont think 240 to 360 is even noticable unless you are like a big tournament fella

[ivory mountain]

well if u paid for 360 you would want 360 no?

[gusty basin]

i'm that guy

so can we get to the conclusion here is it because of my port or what

[ivory mountain]

ew a 2hollis fan i hope ur laptop doesnt work ever again

[stray portal]

yes but im thinking maybe if you get a monitor you do research if its supported by your hardware

[tall sandal]

RTX 5070 laptop GPU, is it good?

[gusty basin]

we shame that too now?

[stray portal]

Kinda yes, its not a real 5070 but you get about half of a 5070, which id say is good

[plush wren]

Probably joking

[gusty basin]

you made your steam account in 2025 you're either 10 or really broke to afford a gaming device

[latent gull]

No

[plush wren]

Ts not a flex

[ivory mountain]

yo chill its my new one 😭

[snow mauve]

lol

[latent gull]

I’ve already said what you need to do. Look up the manual. Check the port. See what the port supports. We’re not going to do that for you.

[stray portal]

I have my account since 2021, my old one is lost media

But i didnt have anything important on it either so not a waste

[tall sandal]

How much better than 5060

The laptop I returned had a 5060 in it

[snow mauve]

careful you gonna start having people post hours played flexes 😄

[stray portal]

Laptop 5060 is half of a normal 5060

Laptop gpus are just marketing, you arent getting the real gpu in a laptop

[scarlet marlin]

why buy gpus when you can weave your own semiconductors by hand

[gusty basin]

1 x USB Type-C 5Gbps (DisplayPort 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge) it said this

[ivory mountain]

cook

[tall sandal]

Of course

[ivory mountain]

im really tempted to make another 22gb 2080ti

[stray portal]

To be fair at 1080p you dont even need a gpu, these ryzen igpus are doing 100fps on medium settings

[plush wren]

Why buy a pc when you can use your imagination to play a game

[latent gull]

DisplayPort 1.4 can’t do 360 iirc

[scarlet marlin]

if a hand weaved ram can launch a rocket to the moon why not hand weaved gpu

[tired bear]

go to bios, enable high resolution mode

[plush wren]

Pause

[gusty basin]

so can i connect using the same cable but with lower hz cuz i don't wanna use my long hdmi for it

[scarlet marlin]

is it true if you microwave your iPhone it'll charge it

[plush wren]

Try it

[scarlet marlin]

does this work with computers as well

[latent gull]

Idk, does it let you run it when you connect it?

[scarlet marlin]

is this enough storage to download doom 2

[stray portal]

Blud got them PeanutButters for storage 💔

[scarlet marlin]

peanut butter has come a long way ngl, we can store information in the chunky bits

I guess that's why they call in chunks

[pure trellis]

6.6pb, not bad

[formal sonnet]

No. You need more PeanutButter (PB) for Doom 2.

[carmine yew]

can you tell me what keeb switches would be the best switches anywhere for me personally?

/snerks

[formal sonnet]

Well that depends on switch switch you like to switch when you switch your switches. 😉

[south arrow]

Oh , well thenn

[stray portal]

Brown switches

The best for everyone all around

[carmine yew]

I do like tactiles

[carmine yew]

my keeb at home is browns, because tactile bumps are best

[stray portal]

Or if you are crazy like me, use evil razer optical switches

Purple optical switches

😈

[carmine yew]

they're sold outta tactile

[carmine yew]

I wonder if anyone has built a full keyboard out of these

[stray portal]

Yes there was someone who did it

I think his name is mr yeester or something

[carmine yew]

fuck mr yeester

[rigid fjord]

i believe there might be one

[ebon marlin]

Gay ass looking dude

[carmine yew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_8GKPOQ5r4

[rigid fjord]

reasonably sized for you dude

[south arrow]

Lmao

[rigid fjord]

everyone else out here with average sized hands, while you have bear mitts

[south arrow]

Very reasonably sized

[carmine yew]

I could each end to end on that

[rigid fjord]

any bigger and it'll be like this

[stray portal]

Atp just make a bunch of trampolines and jump on them for key presses

[odd sparrow]

is this the fastest optical internet in the world?

[grizzled frost]

if you swap your ping and speed numbers, it'd be great

[odd sparrow]

how do i do that

[grizzled frost]

shrooms

[rigid fjord]

get better internet and isp

[gilded imp]

send me 5$

[rigid fjord]

also this

[odd sparrow]

I CANT SEND ANYTHING

[grizzled frost]

i love the diversity in answers

[odd sparrow]

i got brand new internet like 2mo ago

[odd sparrow]

yall creative af

[grizzled frost]

sue them, cause god damn

[gilded imp]

time to get starlink lol

[odd sparrow]

can i start a go fund me

[rigid fjord]

dsl, aka phoneline not fibre

[stray portal]

Me when i have fibre optic cable with 1000mbps

🤑

[rigid fjord]

me when i can get fibre but still needing to work out the cable length to go between the ont and router

[stray portal]

Yall dont know the struggle of hotspoting to your laptop and it disconecting every time you went anywhere and ruining whatever you had going on

I had to EARN my fast internet

[rigid fjord]

i do, but i also know how to set up a couple wifi extenders to prevent this

[agile stag]

why cant we have negative tip in america gr

if they spit on my food or miss half my order i want 15% of my money back instead of still getting drained to the fullest extent

[grizzled frost]

Hey so spitting in your food is assault, and if they miss half your order, you can pretty often get comped food if you complain

[tired bear]

you tell me

[wild steeple]

crucified

[rigid fjord]

use hwinfo not hwmonitor

[fickle juniper]

told my friend to do a DDU on his rx 5500xt cause he didnt do it before he switched from his rx 580 and now this happened?

[fickle juniper]

the fuck happened

[wheat ruin]

it's glorious:

Btw did anyone try the new nvme driver in Windows 11?

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/new-windows-native-nvme-driver-benchmarks-reveal-transformative-performance-gains-up-to-64-89-percent-lightning-fast-random-reads-and-breakthrough-cpu-efficiency

[plain cypress]

Good on them for not using a slop thumbnail

[wheat ruin]

eh?

[grim shadow]

Does anybody have a steam deck? I have some issues right now of it not booting.

I'm not sure if I'm in the right chat for tech support but kind of running out of ideas here

[plain cypress]

I have one but like it's been basically flawless

[flat cliff]

Am I just tripping because I turned down the extrusion or is this a little sign of under extrusion?

[tidal geyser]

looks fine to me

i like having too little on precise parts and too much on parts that need to be strong

[wheat ruin]

well i f anyone is curious, I did take the plungs and did the reg edits to use the new nvme driver, and the results are incredible

[grim shadow]

The problem is is that we basically never use it, and the battery has completed discharged, that is what the LED is telling me when I finally found the instruction manual.

[wheat ruin]

SN850X is the OS drive, the XPG is the game drive

test done with crystaldiskinfo but on one thread. with the multi thread nvme test the results are even more bonkers

[rigid fjord]

try a calibration cube as well dude

[flat cliff]

I might but I just thought to do benchy so did. Gonna tune tests before one of those or at least change a setting before my next print.

[rigid fjord]

https://www.printables.com/model/1297869-new-version-v2-all-in-one-calibration-cube-40x40x4/comments would be worth it

gotta pay kangaroo bucks to do it

I only accept dollarydoos

or he'll send the drop bears after you

oh and the hunter wolf spiders

[odd sparrow]

guys stop haatign on me im jst a kid

[tired bear]

You will grow out of this state

[wheat ruin]

Date centre?

[frail delta]

Yes, that is from an ookla server

[clear canyon]

my speeds are ass

[wheat ruin]

cable internet needs to die

[clear canyon]

why, its fine

[wheat ruin]

shit upload

fiber to the node with shared bandwidth

[clear canyon]

that depends how you get it, you can get fiber and then have it turned into coax

[wheat ruin]

nothing beats a fibre line direct to the premises

[grizzled frost]

FTH FTW

[clear canyon]

what

[wheat ruin]

we got 8gbps here in toronto now with Bell

[grizzled frost]

Fiber To the Home, For The Win

[clear canyon]

ah ok

[wheat ruin]

but the cable company advertises gigabit+, but they dont tell people that their upload is 30mbps

[pulsar root]

WOW

[flat cliff]

Dam it I can't send 3 photos of my benchy one message.

To many attachments?

[grizzled frost]

Coax to the home internet

[clear canyon]

mine is better

[wheat ruin]

look at this nonsense:

looks like johnny bravo, 1.5G down 50 up

[grizzled frost]

the fact they have the audacity to say "up to 50Mbps" is insane

[wheat ruin]

because it is, they commingle multiple houses into the neighborhood node

so you get crazy congestion in peak hours

[grizzled frost]

sorry to my neighbors for my consistent 600mbps downloads for hours on end

[wheat ruin]

ack packets alone would saturate the upload

when I had cable internet in a big apartment building years ago, I almost lost my damn mind troubleshooting the flaky connection, going to the weeds looking at signal to noise ratio and sync rates etc etc, took a good 2 years to get them to sort it out

[plush wren]

bargain

50$ off as well

[wheat ruin]

something with a the w spigot, and the J tap or some such BS

[plush wren]

cant believe people pay for that

[wheat ruin]

Internet in Canada is literally a hostage situation

thankfully I got a good deal on my 3gbps for $55+tax locked in for 2 years

[plush wren]

here i saw a 512kbps package or something (bosnia and herzegovina)

[wheat ruin]

damn

IP over Avian Carriers would be faster

[plush wren]

oh wait its a internet subscription dedicated for video cameras

$11.78, $17.66, $23.55

[wheat ruin]

so anyway, absolutely nobody tried that new nvme driver?

surprised to say the least, yeah it's a bit risky but nothing that cant be reversed quickly, it's literally 3 regedits, and yield incredible performance improvements

[south arrow]

[clear arch]

Hello, i was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for like not meta glasses since they are like 300$ but maybe recording glasses that are 150$ and under, im just trying to do like maybe a few minutes of recording maybe longer idk how long glasses can really record for. I want to record my facebook deals and me building pcs please let me know, thank you.

Ddr2 is really the only ram where you can have some really weird totals, and not run into major issues

[topaz shale]

what kind of issues do you normally run into?

i had 88gb in my server at one point lol

2x44gb

[frigid blade]

Needs windows 11

[sharp ivy]

I need to get an adapter to use my keyboard with my computer, the keyboard is USB so what adapter would I need for this?

[topaz shale]

yooo ps2 keyboard adapter

[frigid blade]

Looks like a ps port?

[sharp ivy]

It's not tho

looks like an XT or AT?

[topaz shale]

oh what

[sharp ivy]

sorry the picture got crunched by discord

[frigid blade]

Oh is that the S video port

[sharp ivy]

it's a bit old to have ps port

[frigid blade]

We talked about it before

[sharp ivy]

no

that's the IO

where you plug in the keyboard

lemme get a closer up photo

[halcyon tree]

Hello

[frigid blade]

I think that’s audio then

[sharp ivy]

it's not audio

@topaz shale

[frigid blade]

It’s a DIN connector

[grizzled frost]

is that not MIDI?

[halcyon tree]

Can someone help me find a good keyboard for gaming

[frigid blade]

5 pin 180 degree DIN connector

[topaz shale]

what games

[halcyon tree]

I play everything

[topaz shale]

main game

[halcyon tree]

I just started this game but I’ve been rlly good at it Valorant but I also started Csgo

I don’t want a crazy keyboard I want a budget one cuz I’m not tryna overspend

[topaz shale]

hall effect keyboards are the main upgrade over everything else right now, you just have to make sure you have snap tap turned off in csgo

[halcyon tree]

What’s the cheapest keyboard you think I could buy that has Hall effect

[frigid blade]

That definitely looks like the results for a 5 pin 180 degree DIN connector, which seems to be used for audio related stuff

[wind jackal]

hall effect is so nice

you can change when the click is registered i really like that

[halcyon tree]

And a quiet keyboard

[wind jackal]

has basically no downsides afaik

[topaz shale]

https://a.co/d/0fGgcsSD

not very quiet'

but HE keyboards do sound pretty nice

[wind jackal]

i know some cheap hall effects they were under $40 and i assume the rest of the market has hopefully caught up

[topaz shale]

yeah this one is 38 USD rn

[halcyon tree]

I’m prolly gonna get this

[topaz shale]

i just found it on PC gamer under best budget

[wind jackal]

do a little more researching and find a couple you know you like and gamble it out from there

[topaz shale]

https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/gaming-keyboards/best-hall-effect-keyboards/

source

[wind jackal]

i do find that keycaps on cheaper keyboard wear out a lot faster

my current and previous keyboard

[topaz shale]

hmmm yes keychron

[wind jackal]

each one ive used under a year total

[frigid blade]

Yes

[topaz shale]

definitely may not be biased

[wind jackal]

the keycaps are already worn and dont feel that good

so do buy replacements

[topaz shale]

you know you can buy new keycaps right

[halcyon tree]

You sure the aula 60 he isn’t better

[topaz shale]

no im not sure

[wind jackal]

once you get to a price that low it could just be all subjective

[topaz shale]

i have an HE keyboard i wouldnt recommend, but do your own research

[halcyon tree]

Alr thanks

Do mouse pads rlly matter

[topaz shale]

uhh yes and no

[wind jackal]

i really recommend one

[topaz shale]

until you are looking to spend like 50$+ on a mousepad it doesnt really matter

just a mousepad will do good

[halcyon tree]

Could I possibly buy one for 10 dollars

[wind jackal]

if you're moving your mouse on a bare table and 1 speck of dust gets under your mouse

[topaz shale]

yes

[wind jackal]

it crunches

[topaz shale]

wait till you hear about glass pads

[halcyon tree]

Ever since I got rid of my mouse pad my aim has js been bad

[topaz shale]

yeah i would get a mousepad

[wind jackal]

99% of mousepad users are using cloth

cloth has no issue

[topaz shale]

well cloth has minor issue

[wind jackal]

especially if you're looking for a $40 keyboard and $10 mousep[ad

[topaz shale]

but still good

[wind jackal]

i dont think cloth has any issue

[topaz shale]

yeah lmao imagine glass pad and 40$ kb

[wind jackal]

gotta balance it out

[topaz shale]

if i played less tracking heavy games i dont think i could have justified a glass pad

[wind jackal]

i just checked under my mouse

[topaz shale]

but its also amazing to clean

[wind jackal]

the skates of the mouse are already quite scratched and not as good as they used to be

[topaz shale]

microfiber like twice a day because i have pets

[wind jackal]

that's using a mousepad
imagine how much worse it would be without a mousepad

[flat cliff]

Tuning my printer with some PETG, one problem at a time what likely causing this problem on the hull?

[sharp ivy]

huh

then where do I plug in my keyboard

[frigid blade]

But, it has been used in the past as a standard AT connector

So that might just be it

[sharp ivy]

That's prolly it

It's the only connector on the motherboard

[frigid blade]

It’s an IBM?

[sharp ivy]

Not really

It's a clone

[frigid blade]

Ivan only see references to IBM using it

Oh so yah, that’s probably what it’s for if it’s a clone

[sharp ivy]

everyone basically copied eachother

[sharp ivy]

yeah

Is this an alright laptop?

Cheapest i can find with a RTX 5070,

[sharp ivy]

It's a pretty powerfil one

good amount of storage

[jovial swan]

Shit screen though, thats my main gripe about it.

I wanna get a legion, but then id have to go down to a 5060.

[sharp ivy]

Yeah 144hz seems low for a gaming laptop

[jovial swan]

Id really want a laptop that has a zen 5 Ryzen 350 maybe, it has good IGPU so i can use it as a media machine while on the go

[odd marsh]

damn my desktop is only 144 Hz :(

[sharp ivy]

My gaming monitor is 100Hz

feels super good tho

better than my old 60hz

[odd marsh]

my tv is a higher refresh rate, it sits at 165

[sharp ivy]

woah

[odd marsh]

but this setup will have to do for now

[sharp ivy]

cool setup

[odd marsh]

thanks

[sharp ivy]

mine is a lot less neat looking

[odd marsh]

see you got more monitors though

a 2nd monitor would be real nice for me

[sharp ivy]

I found the Dell on the left dumped on the side of the road lol

it's a 4k studio one

[odd marsh]

damn nice

[sharp ivy]

it was barely working, I left it on for 5 mins and it sorted itself out

hasn't had a problem since

I don't actually use 2 monitors but I like having a second one on my desk

[jovial swan]

Is that ps3 just a cup holder?

[sharp ivy]

huh?

No

[sharp ivy]

The PS3 or the 360 slim

[jovial swan]

Left one

[sharp ivy]

Nope

That's a working PS3 I got from value village for $15CAD

has a dying HDD that I replaced with one I had

[jovial swan]

Damn, i gotta get looking at my local red/blue cross thrift shops lol,

[sharp ivy]

Yes

and by the side of the road

and in old people's houses and barns

[jovial swan]

Thats illegal in denmark sadly,

Cant take stuff people throw in streets

You get a 450 kroner fine for doing so lol,

[sharp ivy]

Keyboard found dumped on the sidewalk, mouse from the world's best thrift shop, monitor from a barn, PC from some old people

[sharp ivy]

aww sad

[jovial swan]

Damn

[sharp ivy]

some smaller thrift stores can be great

there's a little SPCA one I love

piles and piles of old tech

[jovial swan]

Yeah, i was in one in Copenhagen they had a ZX spectrum, had no use for it personally and it was hella expensive so couldnt buy it, but it was cool.

[sharp ivy]

Some stores can really be a rip off tbh

[jovial swan]

It was 2300 dkk,

Anyways i need sleep, have good day

[sharp ivy]

gn

enjoy your sleep I guess

[delicate quarry]

Guys, i have pushed my rtx 3060ti to the limit in 3dmark speed way.

core clock is as stable is it will stay. same with the memory clock. can't run overclock as is kind of unstable in games and very high in the temp.

[jaunty apex]

It hurt to ask the owner?

Ah too late

[drowsy isle]

@tulip depot I got Apollo and Artemis to work, port master had a random background application running that was preventing Artemis from connecting to Apollo

I had port master disabled in startup but it was still on this whole time

It runs really smooth so much better than steam link

Turned my s26 ultra into a makeshift steam deck

Steam deck on a budget

[mild wharf]

Question: I’ve been team iPhone since iPhone 4, I’m considering going to a fold 7 for work purposes. Has anyone liked the transition from iOS to droid?

[tulip depot]

I used sunshine and moonlight before, I need to try it again

[drowsy isle]

Just upgraded from the 14 pro max to the s26 ultra. Getting into Android I feel like I'm the adminstrator and I have more control over my phone. I can do what I want without the phone deciding for me. You'll notice that it feels like ios holds your hand. On IOS you can't set a universal eq on ios, you're limited on the applications you can download, multi tasking is limited as there is no clipboard or split screen, customization is still behind.

The voice assistant on android is actually useful unlike siri

[fringe prairie]

limited applications as in sideloading?

[drowsy isle]

yeah sideloading which unfortunately google wants to remove

[fringe prairie]

i guess? its not hard to sideload on ios though
even then i dunno if they would like to sideload on a work device

[livid perch]

welp 2 nodes died in my school today and we lost networking for like the hall day

i wonder why it was hard to find the problem

[fringe prairie]

clipboard does exist as well . i guess you mean clipboard history

[mild wharf]

That’s some crazy spaghetti

[livid perch]

ikr

[drowsy isle]

yes

[fringe prairie]

i havent cared much about clipboard history at all

[mild wharf]

Linus or Luke would have fun rating that

[fringe prairie]

really the only thing i want is universal eq because the apple music "eq" on ios is ass

[livid perch]

went from 6 s plus to s8

[drowsy isle]

it is useful especially when you need to copy and paste multiple photos/text

[livid perch]

best time of my life than i went to the ip13pm

after s8 i couldnt get used to how shitty ios felt to me so i bought a s22u

[plain cypress]

There's too many teenagers on this plane

[livid perch]

now i upgraded my s22u to a s26u

im loving the new s26u with the one ui 8.5 its very optimized and smooth

[drowsy isle]

Ridiculously inefficient to copy text, then paste text on another tab, then go back to copy another

[livid perch]

welp might send it to them next time they make videos about it

[mild wharf]

One thing I’m a bit worried about is the camera. I’m a space journalist and I need to take good pictures for content like this

[livid perch]

u are worried about the wrong thing

i mean yeah the z fold 7 doesnt have the best camera samsung has to offer

but i think itll be plent of enough

[plain cypress]

A phone for shooting rockets just sounds sad

[livid perch]

but if u truely want an andorid with camera in mind i can reccomend the one plus 16 or the s26u

[plain cypress]

Get yourself a hassy

[livid perch]

or a damn sony a6400

[mild wharf]

I have a Nikon d3300

[drowsy isle]

Fold 7 doesn't have the best camera but it is usable, I would wait though. Apple is reportedly coming out with their own fold and galaxy fold 8 might be a big upgrade.

[livid perch]

i want a xt5 fuji or a a6700 for casual photography and videogrophy during the summer but i need to save a lil for those

[livid perch]

i bought 3 phones and headphones so im short on money rn lol

[drowsy isle]

Samsung usually launches folds mid way through quarter 3

genuinely went back to an s9+ cause it was so bad

[drowsy isle]

[livid perch]

CD Projekt Red co-founders have been named in a reopened Polish investigation into the 2018 death of a 54-year-old Polish woman on a farm in Janov, Czech Republic.

The woman died during a shamanic ceremony involving ayahuasca, a psychoactive brew that is illegal in many countries.

Polish prosecutors reopened the case based on new evidence, including materials mentioning the founders due to property connections: Kiciński co-owned the Janov farm where the ceremonies took place and reportedly participated in some ayahuasca rituals earlier, while Iwiński owned a nearby property used for similar events.

No charges have been filed against them. The investigation remains ongoing as of March 2026.

Ay caramba

[mint rock]

what a link

[robust forum]

True

[junior merlin]

I went to a store this week and looked at some of the OLED monitors.

Is it bad that I can't really tell the difference between OLED and my Nano-IPS at home?

[jaunty apex]

I mean.. The CPU itself is no spring chicken but idk what is minimally ideal for osu

And with an old system like that you can slap a gpu in but beyond that you'd probably want to be on a new platform if that doesn't give you what you expect (CPU, memory and motherboard.. Possibly PSU if its like 200w but also that because old and safety)

[junior merlin]

Gotcha. It's just that everyone hypes up OLED, and I just don't see it compared to my IPS.

[crisp tartan]

He guys should I get a used 2080ti or a 3070 for cs2?

[junior merlin]

3070

[mint rock]

I want advice from this mystical wise ass cat

[stray portal]

Definetly the 3070 it will be better

[robust forum]

I have been so unlucky with Linux

But I am giving it yet another go.

[stray portal]

What went wrong?

[robust forum]

Things being very broken

I just need simple things and each time it just didn't work out

[stray portal]

Hmm seems weird

What distros were you using before

[ebon marlin]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1056598901383250041/1465707720232665184/attachment.gif

[bold olive]

well yeah ubuntu 25.10 seemed like a big compromise

[mint rock]

I am not a chud

[ebon marlin]

Damn someone donated to our recycling center a LF3 Pro 240mm thanks ig

[robust forum]

I've used a fair few distros and each time I found myself going back to Windows.

ChromeOS also worked better for my laptop in the end

[bold olive]

im dualbooting both and for some reason i just daily windows cuz my steam games are there

but i do like my mouse stability being better in linux than windows

[bold olive]

holy shit its packed with stuff that i actually want in the background

[sinful cobalt]

ok now watch it leak or have a dead pump

[ebon marlin]

We have a shitton of nas systems here aswell and I want one

[ebon marlin]

If it did have issues the user could've just RMA'd it

Arctic has the best customer support

[bold olive]

like the ones the size of a gamecube

[ebon marlin]

We got big and large

[bold olive]

oof mint or pop os

[bold olive]

i swear if its rack mounted

[ebon marlin]

Nah

We got one of these by Synology I want

[bold olive]

ooh

[ebon marlin]

We also got a few by QNAP, Zyxel and many more

Couple by WD aswell

Hmm maybe I shouldn't have used clean all in diskpart on this drive

It's taking ages

I think a simple clean command would've been enough on getting rid of bitlocker

[bold olive]

honestly

id much rather go with a das

its just a small household and i need that fast usb c connection

[ebon marlin]

I wanted to take a NAS from my work but then I found 2 brand new unused external harddrives

Seagate 2tb and WD My Passport Ultra 1tb

The WD one connects by USB-C which is nice

[bold olive]

thats my parent's way of storage

[ebon marlin]

I lowkey just stole em

[bold olive]

my mom legit has two my passports

[ebon marlin]

The Seagate 2tb one uses the yucky wide USB 3.0

[ebon marlin]

Oh damn it finally finished

[bold olive]

asus please fix my mouse instabilities im counting on you 🥺

[ebon marlin]

I need to take a shit so badly but Linux Mint installation is so slow

I want to have it do it's installation b4 I go since it always takes forever

Finally this part usually takes like 10mins

[bold olive]

tell me how's mint when you experience it

I'm planning to distro hop to mint from ubuntu

[ebon marlin]

I don't personally like Mint

My go to for a Linux Distro is Fedora

Imo best distro

Lots of quality of life features over other Distro's

My work just makes us use Mint on devices that don't support Windows 11 officially

[rigid fjord]

3080/4070

[rigid fjord]

nab it for yourself and resell it on your equivalent of ebay

[ebon marlin]

Too big to steal

Too low value eitherway for me

[rigid fjord]

it's a solid £60 equivalent earner

whatever that is in krones/euros

[ebon marlin]

Or I can grab 2 256gb drives that can easily fit in my pocket

Same value

Speaking of ssd's I should go steal my coworkers Kingston A400 480gb drive

[rigid fjord]

don't, those arent that great

[crisp tartan]

That would mean I have to get a new psu too

[rigid fjord]

grab a 7700xt/9060xt then instead

avoid the 3070 at all costs

[ebon marlin]

Idrc it's not for personal use

[crisp tartan]

I currently have a pre built with a 2060s installed or a 2060 I forgot

I'm not sure of the psu wattage atm I forgot and I'm not near my pc but do you think a 7700xt or 9060xt would be fine?

[ebon marlin]

I try to nab atleast 1tb of ssd storage and 16gb/32gb of ram from work daily

[rigid fjord]

they can be ran off a 550-750w psu

[crisp tartan]

Wow

[rigid fjord]

plus you can choose either 12gb vram aka the 7700xt or 16gb vram aka 9060xt

[crisp tartan]

So amd cards are more energy efficient than nvidia?

[crisp tartan]

12vram is more than enough for cs2

Whatever is better tbh

[rigid fjord]

price wise they're about the same, as for energy efficiency, amd is a little better but not by much when it comes to gpu's

[crisp tartan]

So why are you telling me to stay away from nvidia?

[rigid fjord]

it's more the staying away from a 3070, the card is neutered due to vram limitations

[crisp tartan]

Even the ti variant?

[rigid fjord]

even the 3070ti

[crisp tartan]

Alright thanks for the headsup

Should I consider the 2080ti amongst the cards u suggested?
