i've had a similar issue on minecraft once

i js downgraded to 1.8.9 and played hypixel until i got a better pc

lower graphics = easier to run = no weird graphics stuff

[tall sandal]

Just got a new laptop, this, what you guys think

Excellent thermals. 90c at 100w, no thermal throttling. When boost wore out, 83 at 92w. Amazing man

[agile topaz]

Getting kernel mode heap corruption after setting my 7600x pbo to +50mhz, incrementally updated so I'm pretty sure that might be the issue

[tall sandal]

so what you guys think

[agile topaz]

That common though? For my cpu to practically be binned in such a way that just +50mhz makes it that unstable?

[hexed tapir]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KzPhqd they could've saved $1388

[tall sandal]

YOOO

32k omg bro

[undone star]

so i do a lot of moving files via samba shares, and some of our cold storage sambas when connected take a long time to copy the amount of data we move, does anyone have a good recommendation for a transfer manager that allows for resuming file transfers better than w10's built in system as well as queuing files instead of trying to simultaneously do every copy like w10 does

[agile topaz]

Running an sfc /scannow, there is no way hitting boost clock override at -25mhz is somehow the only stable setting for it thus far

7600x are supposed to be able to clock at their default rate I'm pretty sure

[gusty forge]

My post is stuck in dram can someone please help I’ve tried reslotting ram and clearing cmos now I can’t get into bios

[agile topaz]

Set the CO back to all core -20 instead of -25 too, part of me thinks a higher boost clock limit conflicts with that somehow

[serene pumice]

@upbeat plover Can you help?

Try #1027757333117415424 otherwise @gusty forge

[gusty forge]

I’ve been trying scince last night this is so frustrating

All I did was change my res in csgo and this happend

[agile topaz]

Oh wait I'm in tech chat

[nimble drum]

I mean I would save a bit more and get a laptop with OLED but to each and their own

[tidal geyser]

did you not ask this a few moments ago

[tidal geyser]

ngl the only time i really have all my lights off is with a laptop

i will never go back to a lcd laptop

[gusty forge]

I asked how to update my bios

[glossy veldt]

hey sim how do i make an entire backup of a hard drive over Ethernet to another pc

I'd usually use the sata connection but this is an IDE hdd

and I don't have any IDE cables

[wanton maple]

I have a 5080 bro

[tidal geyser]

bit unsure then, urbackup is what i did but its not easy to setup

[iron glen]

Well hot damn im out of ideas

[wanton maple]

It was running just fine before with DLSS P and 2x FG until recently

[iron glen]

Sim can you diagnose this fella's issue

Also hi sim

Eh

[tidal geyser]

think the smartest is just backing up the important things and %appdata% then doing whatever

[glossy veldt]

it has to be 32 bit capable

[tidal geyser]

reseat ram with the pc unplugged if it does not work reseat cpu

[glossy veldt]

oh i already did that over FTP it was tiresome

[wanton maple]

4k max setting with over 100 fps

Mind you the game still technically runs it’s just that the pixels are extremely distorted

[tidal geyser]

why not SMB?

[tidal geyser]

make a post in https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1027757333117415424

[glossy veldt]

I'm not that tech savvy what's smb

i used uhhh the windows share folder setting

but since it was on windows xp i plugged an Ethernet cable straight to my desktop

its a laptop im tryna backup the entire filesystem and stuff

cause its only 80gbs

before i eventually nuke it and put some stupid distro

[tidal geyser]

Kopia maybe

[glossy veldt]

sim, have you ever used rescuezilla?

[stray portal]

If you dont have any ide cables how are you using the hard drive

[glossy veldt]

it's a laptop

[stray portal]

Oh yeah ig u cant plug other hdds or ssd to ge the data out then

[glossy veldt]

it doesn't need cables for the hdd the same way sata laptops use a connector soldered to the mainboard

[tidal geyser]

i do not have much to backup so never really do so never used that software

its an iso and im 80% sure no networking

[glossy veldt]

i could either buy an ide to sata/usb

but that's not really feasible for me as of now

usb booting is supported on this 2005 laptop which suprises me so

I'll try to use rescuezilla because it seems easier to use and recommended probably because its fitting for dummies like me

it also looks to have smb support

[tidal geyser]

yeh

good luck

[rigid fjord]

the conflict is that you have a core or 2 that doesn't like going to -25

[agile topaz]

I agree, especially when they try to boost beyond their default limits

For now doing -25mhz clock override and -25 co is the best (and easiest for the spare time I have) to set

Cores are maintaining their boost extremely well, temps have like 14C of headroom in cinebench, and I'm scoring significantly higher than raising the boost and lowering the co doing it

Significantly higher considering the benefits on top of that I mean

[tidal geyser]

[agile topaz]

Now the thing that might or might not do a thing, should I let the power limits be motherboard limited as well?

[urban jacinth]

This is Meta's new AI and Im building a website

[tidal geyser]

<@&750150305383186585>

[agile topaz]

I guess I could try raising my CO magnitude even more since its perfectly stable this way too

-30 all core would go pretty crazy for temps

[tidal geyser]

not sure what that is meant to do

tis a bot

insta left the server unless they got banned

[cold skiff]

Sending the rules to a bot

[rose stream]

Eh, the posting speed was what got me there.

[agile topaz]

And I mean hell, 81C max during a 100% usage process on a processor that intentionally boosts up until 95C is quite good too

[rigid fjord]

why -25mhz, that should be +200mhz on it

[rose stream]

Guess it was tuned with some delay to be convincing.

[cold skiff]

I mean. It got you, there’s no shame in it buddy.

[agile topaz]

It becomes unstable once I start raising mhz, found that lowering it as minimally as possible makes the co function at greater magnitudes

[cold skiff]

The main point of under voting is to get a more stable max boost. If you’re reducing your maximum boost, just disable PBO.

[rigid fjord]

then you're doing something wrong there tbh, you should be able to add a 200mhz increase as a boost over the normal boost with a good CO

[agile topaz]

Well -20 is stable at 200mhz, but scores worse than if I did -25 at -25mhz

[rigid fjord]

should really be trying with core cycler as well

[cold skiff]

Scored worse on synthetic benchmarks? Yeah don’t worry about those

Do real world tests. Real games you play. Don’t be a pleb

[rigid fjord]

which means that you have some cores that don't drop to -25 quite easily so

corecycler on occt should be run when doing pbo tuning afaik

[agile topaz]

Yeah thats all true

I'll do this over the weekend, just seeing what works for now to get a feel for what's stable

[rigid fjord]

you may even find there's cores needing to go + instead of - for it to be stable

[agile topaz]

I'll try +200mhz at -20CO, it was stable at that CO at +100mhz at least

[cold skiff]

Just stick -20, +200mhz all core and move on with it tbh.

It’s really not going to make or break anything.

[agile topaz]

Yeah, as long as its not throttling its just a performance increase anyways i guess

[cold skiff]

It’s no x3d so generally they do -30 with no issues but -20 literally is capable by 99.9% of AM5 cpu

[agile topaz]

Cinebench 2024 isn't exactly foolproof, could've just got margin of errored very negatively

[rigid fjord]

eh, not really on the -30 part

[cold skiff]

It’s a non x3d cpu. If it throttles and your cooling is fine it jut means you’re sustaining your boost clock longer. So that doesn’t matter.

[agile topaz]

I think with the slight clock decrease I could handle -30 AC, but its definitely not going to be that simple if I want +200mhz

[cold skiff]

You don’t wanna be decreasing clocks

It literally negates the point of pbo

[agile topaz]

Doing the standard is almost certainly the move though, what I'm doing is literally antithetical to an overclock

[cold skiff]

That’s just power saving

[agile topaz]

True, I used to run CPB off entirely because I had a shit fan curve and I am comparing to that I guess. CO is more about saving power and heat anyways, best to boost harder if actually want pbo to mean a damn thing

Fan curve my motherboard defaulted to was quite literally at like 40% speed at 70 degrees if I recall correctly

For the most part anyways, I'm just running cinebench to get a feel for about how bad my temps might get under full load (worst a game could produce anyways), making sure I don't throttle

[warm saddle]

is there any diffrence in cooling between gigabyte winderforced and eagle?

[serene python]

@rigid fjord Probably finishing it tommorow

[cold skiff]

Probably. Does it matter? Probably not.

[warm saddle]

well, winderforced has really bad cooling so, idk if eagle has better cooling

[agile topaz]

What you can do is set the fan curve a little higher to compensate for cooling differences if you really feel the need to

[tranquil cipher]

how do you turn off the list in the windows start menu. it changed with a update, i gave it a try but im done with it

[warm saddle]

But, the fans are so noisy man

Winderforced just isnt good, but its cheapest

[rigid fjord]

you taped the data cables

[nova lotus]

Or the fact the SATA DATA is at 90° and going out

[swift moss]

what do yall think of this? Imo the words are too small and it just looks cluttered ash

this is what i have on me and im making a duffel with it but was wondering if jeans or a jacket would look tough in this

I also have the blue version (no photos)

basically this but a little more dull

[high elm]

bro what is this

too fancy for me bruh

[swift moss]

na but like in general ykwim

[high elm]

i usually just wear some random t shirt pants and sandals

[swift moss]

im js saying

since i already have this denim on me

[high elm]

idk it looks fancy though

[swift moss]

dior trucker jacket 😭😭

[swift moss]

that's the issue imo 🥀

[high elm]

to me it feels like you’d overdress in that in alot of scenarios

[swift moss]

yeah true

the duffel bags do look very nice though

i could use my blue for the bag and a pair of jeans ig

[hexed tapir]

Cuda

[grizzled frost]

CUDA helps a lot with DLSS

cuda very much still matters

also it’s pretty hard to argue with their dominance with performance and feature at

FSR4 supports less cards, and isn’t as good as dlss4.5

also there are minimal issues on both platforms drivers wise, they go back and forth on who has more issues tho

Too bad, DLSS is the future

really doesn’t matter what you personally care about, but rather what the market cares about

and guess what, the vast majority of people love dlss

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/robot-ai-robot-ai-meme-ai-meme-gif-509507551361818171

[grizzled frost]

also amd doesn’t even win without frame gen or upscaling

NVIDIA has multiple cards that beat AMD’s top card in raster

NVIDIA also does a lot better with ray tracing

what does this even mean

yeah electronics do indeed die eventually

[south arrow]

Lights, beams, pixelssss

[hexed tapir]

I like upscaling

[agile topaz]

I too like upscaling

[grizzled frost]

as does the vast majority of people

dlss 4.5 is a work of art, it’s insane

[south arrow]

All in good time

[agile topaz]

DLSS 4.5 Quality is almost equal to DLAA and that's literally native, but gives me like 20-30 extra base frames

[hexed tapir]

I like Upscaling it so it runs at a higher resolution then what is native

[agile topaz]

MFGx4 is good enough to the point I am literally too bad at looking at things to notice artifacts if its above 60 base fps, so at least with my attention to detail it is for all intents and purposes just 4 times the performance

[grizzled frost]

That is indeed what upscaling means

[hexed tapir]

Frfr

[grizzled frost]

I’m convinced that every one that hates on dlss4.5 simply haven’t had the chance to experience it

[agile topaz]

Yeah that too, literally looking better than native is so good

[grizzled frost]

I genuinely can’t even tell that it’s on 99% of the time, other than the higher fps

[agile topaz]

^

[grizzled frost]

Like even when you try to spot it, it’s almost impossible

it’s basically just free FPS at this point

[agile topaz]

I can hardly tell DLSS Quality + MFGx4, its even more insane when you consider how much I don't actively see artifacts like that

[hexed tapir]

It's easy to tell with fsr3

[grizzled frost]

Even with FSR4

FSR4 is a lot better, but it isn’t even as good as dlss4, let alone dlss4.5

[agile topaz]

My only experience with upscaling before DLSS4 was FSR1, and I could TELL

[hexed tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/furfsky-gif-22765398

[grizzled frost]

AMD has almost always been at least 1 generation behind on upscaling/frame gen

now amd is behind by essentially 2 generations

NVIDIA could have called dlss4.5 “dlss5” and no one would have batted an eye

[agile topaz]

^

[grizzled frost]

It is genuinely a full generation better

[agile topaz]

Hell if the MFGx6 is gonna come out on it they shouldve called it DLSS5

[grizzled frost]

NVIDIA undersold dlss4.5

[agile topaz]

This is true, image quality has never looked so perfect on quality

[hexed tapir]

And over sold the 5070 performance

[ivory mountain]

fsr is dogshit idk why people glaze it

[hexed tapir]

Because it works on so many cards

And umm

It's red?

[agile topaz]

So many games use it too

Especially FSR4

It was like a whole 3 or 4 right?

[hexed tapir]

https://www.techspot.com/article/3093-dlss-vs-fsr-vs-xess-game-support/ Nvidia has more

From 550 games

[agile topaz]

Well FSR at least has some... just not nearly enough

XeSS though, good reason we don't talk about that one I'm guessing

[elder glade]

[grizzled frost]

if you use MFGx4 it technically does get more frames than the 4090 (cause the 4090 doesn’t support mfgx4)

nvidia was super deceptive saying that at launch tho

[vital horizon]

is it better to play on my hdd sata or nvme

[spring latch]

linux fucked up heres windows result

[spring latch]

it depends but usually SATA if you have a lot of storage, if your game needs to load data fast never use the HDD

but casual games under 10GB should run fine from hdd

[tidal geyser]

now that looks more normal

[swift moss]

most people already coded for cuda that's why they use it

untrue it's so much easier for ML as well

CUDA not only for AI, DLSS isnt only AI

CUDA is for parallelization of GPU compute (basically GPU acceleration)

[grizzled frost]

nvme

[swift moss]

is it?

and cxmt finally figured out how to pirate Rambus documents 🙏

lowk they got the odds stacked against them as they don't develop the standard itself and therefore don't have insider knowledge

[swift moss]

also i'm not even sure what took them so long (i guess lack of investor funds and demand) but the JEDEC DDR5 paper is 500usd so clearly not a large investment

[fickle ivy]

Anyone might know why my hard drive just randomly becomes incredibly slow in the middle of an install?

[swift moss]

and they just neeeded new fabs for DDR5 sizes

[fickle ivy]

I've noticed it on multiple occasions where I've gone to download something and it gets so slow it basically stops

I've seen it go down to 1 byte per second

[spring latch]

whoops it looks like you dont know how AI frames work! "Fake frames" do not exist! DLSS renders frames at a low resolution then uses ML to upscale them to 4K which never produces a "fake"/"hallucinated" frame. Also AI has been used forever, you've used it unknowingly for sure, hating AI is okay but the term AI is too broad

[swift moss]

did you run a SMART test on it?

[swift moss]

THIS too

LLMs are likely what you hate lol

[fickle ivy]

No?

What's that?

[grizzled frost]

AI became more prevalent, but they also renamed a bunch of other things to also be called “AI”

[spring latch]

upscalers dont even classify as image generators, its more like a top pick algorithm that decides the best blend of colors to make it look smoother instead of grainy

[swift moss]

i love CDI (linux build plz)

[grizzled frost]

so many things used to just be algorithms, or machine learning, now it’s all “AI”

[spring latch]

technically an if/else statement is an "AI" by the definition but nobody calls it AI because its not what people think as AI

here is a funny thing, your tubes would most likely melt before your computer shutsdown due to that

heres a fun fact about 21
in base 9, 9+10 = 21 because 9 (base 10) = 10 (base 9) and 10 (base 10) = 11 (base 9) which means 9+10 base 10 = 21 base 10
TL;DR: 9+10=21

[honest flame]

Getting pissed. My pc has been fine for ages. I got RE Requiem a while back and the game kept crashing with a d3d error. It ended up getting better when I cranked all settings to lowest possible and then it crashed after 1h instead of like 20 seconds. But it still crashed. This isnt the only problem I have. Now, it seems out of nowhere, other games I played are freezing intermittently. Its not just frame dips, its like my whole pc is seizing (the audio does a crunch when it lags too, for instance discord audio). I have a 6800xt. Ive done VRAM tests thru OCCT among other things and my gpu as far as I can see is at 100% health.

Plugging into F USB_1

doesn't matter, it's using usb for the controlling of it, and you have the pinout completely wrong

[formal sonnet]

Yep. Controller might be fried now. 🤷

[raw scroll]

Bro it didn’t turn on

[rigid fjord]

quite literally wrong pinout

[raw scroll]

So it’s not fired I unplugged it and it turned back on

[rigid fjord]

the controller the usb cable connects to quite porobably is

[raw scroll]

There’s ten pins 5 top 5 bottom row

The top left is blank

[rigid fjord]

you

it

[raw scroll]

So now what’s the correct order

[rigid fjord]

ABSOLUTELY
WRONG
IDIOT

[raw scroll]

Ok I get it I was wrong

[formal sonnet]

The original order. In 25+ years building computers, I've seen lots of crap from manufacturers, but I've never received a part with an incorrect USB header pinout from the factory. 🤷

[rigid fjord]

i just sent the picture of the correct way ffs

Yo last thing

So that order from the image but on the top row or bottom?

[rigid fjord]

the one with the pinout is for both rows as they're exactly the same

[rigid fjord]

the literal pinout for all usb 1.0 and 2.0 headers

[quasi moat]

Guess who was using signalRGB for a year without realizing he was supposed to map his components so it wasn’t just a big mess of lights

She looks money now

Fuck it we ball

[sinful cobalt]

signalrgb is another slop app tbh

[agile topaz]

It is, but I'm choosing between signal and asrock's software

[rigid fjord]

there's also openrgb as an option

and tbf signalrgp is less slop than windows

[brave brook]

take out the motherboard manual and see which pins are which. +5V = red in your connector. But also looking at the header, you have the empty 5th column, that should be the same column the empty on the motherboard side too. That's all to it

ah yes, sorry, seen later, wrong pinout, LOL

[rigid fjord]

late to the party lol

[sinful cobalt]

[rigid fjord]

if you're agreeing to this, you don't deserve a pc

[sharp inlet]

Anyone hear any way to successfully retrieve a scammed Microsoft account? Microsoft is just saying sucks to suck if you lose your account.

[rigid fjord]

reasons why you have it as 2fa and have an extra set of recovery codes stored elsewhere

[sharp inlet]

100%. Didn’t think having all my backups though being able to immediately be removed was possible either.

[formal sonnet]

Yes, retaining legal counsel ($$$) and working with law enforcement. If you don't have gobs of money, concrete evidence, and aren't deemed a "person of value" to law enforcement... Good luck. Us consumers get the shaft.

[sharp inlet]

Really? Would a standard lawyer be able to assist? I went through the typical customer support channels and literally got told there’s nothing to be done.

[formal sonnet]

That's a question to ask a lawyer, probably at a cost of $150-$300/hour.

[sharp inlet]

And the fact that you need an account to even contact Microsoft support is so asinine

What are the chances we have any sort of mojang / Xbox connections in this discord? I’m honestly just would prefer to have my Minecraft account back only.

I’m not sure if I should be concerned with anything else like how my windows pc had my Microsoft account logged in before the takeover.

[topaz shale]

someone that can help? extremely low.

[formal sonnet]

There's a higher chance that any "connections" in a Discord are actually thieves looking to harvest your information. Who knows? For example, if I could help recover your account, what's to stop me from running off with it?

[rigid fjord]

if your pc was logged in with said account, that account is now locked out essentially

especially if the passwords get changed

reasons why you don't use a microsoft account for logging in to windows

[formal sonnet]

Was this Microsoft account also an email address? (Example: @outlook.com, @live.com, @hotmail.com, @msn.com)

[sharp inlet]

I’ve got a local account for my pc log in, and I’ve since severed ties to the Microsoft account, but worst case I’m worried that the compromised Microsoft account may have a backup /one drive upload.

[sharp inlet]

Luckily no email. Still feeling stupid about the whole scenario, I got called in and basically wa read a ton of buzzword points and I gave away my security code.

[formal sonnet]

Then yeah, it's just whatever was stored in Microsoft services tied to the account. If it were also an email... ooooooh boy, that's identity theft waiting to happen. (Since the malicious party could start resetting passwords to any services you used the email to login with previously.)

[topaz shale]

do you have access to any microsoft service currently tied to the account? outlook, xbox, office, anything?

[rigid fjord]

microsoft never calls people

[sharp inlet]

No sadly.

[sharp inlet]

I sorta thought about that but I was have an especially bad day, just had a home break in and wasn’t in the right state of mind. They basically said “we notice you usually sign in at (my local US town) but there’s been a ton of login attempts in Germany, you aren’t in Germany correct?”

[topaz shale]

@sharp inlet
have you gone through this page?
https://support.microsoft.com/home/contact?linkquery=I think my Microsoft account has been hacked

[sharp inlet]

Yes. I got a response and was told yes we see the account was stolen and compromised but sorry, can’t do anything, good luck.

[topaz shale]

thats fucked

[sharp inlet]

And it was the most legit sounding person too, the only other tip off I should have noticed was that my phone labeled the number as spam.

Lost my original Minecraft account though that I had been to minecon with. I’m guessing that may have some value, I’ve had phishing attempts for that account for years.

[topaz shale]

maybe try the support path again 1 or 2 times. sometimes your response varies by who is helping you at the call center.

[topaz shale]

some people hate doing their jobs unfortunately and if your response was this, i think its possible for them to help.

[formal sonnet]

* unless their policy is ZERO tolerance for stolen accounts, not because they can't, but because they have NO WAY to verify ownership of the account. Still sucks, but when you think about it...

[topaz shale]

ive helped some people recover some pretty lost accounts, i wouldnt say never until its tried

Doubt

[sharp inlet]

I tried reaching out to different social media accounts, they were actually the most helpful.

[lapis talon]

Never played anything from blizzard so I think I'm good for now

[topaz shale]

that is dope af, i havent seen anything like that

[topaz shale]

blizzard ban and suspension appeals never tell you why you are banned so you deadass have to @ them on twiter to get any info at all

[sharp inlet]

One of them actually got me an internal Link to Xbox, who I was able to contact but they just forwarded me to the security team, but at least I could contact them without an account this time.

[rigid fjord]

hard pass

[lapis talon]

Heard cheap isn't always the answer when it comes to AIOs

[rigid fjord]

you can go cheap, just not that one, considering thermalright has cheap aio's that go for 70usd and they're good performers, but the cpu you're going for doesn't need an aio at all

[glacial cliff]

Chat how hard should I be pushing down on this bar to seat the cpu? I feel like im having to push way too hard

[rigid fjord]

if i lived near a river right now i'd take advantage of a mora and have it dunked in said river

[rigid fjord]

hard enough that it goes under the small hook

[glacial cliff]

mo-ra you say? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/GwenBD94/saved/NhxPgs

[glacial cliff]

so like, pushing hard is ok? im not gonna break shit?

I did gold square at gold square

[rigid fjord]

as long as you don't try to push it through the board you're fine

you mean triangle to triangle

this would be so passively cooled if i dunked it in a river

no fans needed at all

hell just using this would be enough

of course. if the cable is faulty the psu will just beep and leave a warning code it will not do anything bad at all to your motherboard

@glacial cliff the taller one is equal to having 4x 720mm rads combined

also optional extra you can add to them

[sinful cobalt]

perhaps one day ill watercool in this big chonky boy

[rigid fjord]

and for the fun of it

[glacial cliff]

yeah i was looking at them when i bought my mora

but decided wasnt worth the cost

[glacial cliff]

i'll sell you 2 rads a pump a res and a cpu block for cheap + shipping if u want

[vital horizon]

well I have a 1tb sata and 512gb of nvme im tryna play delta force

[glacial cliff]

with a caveat the electronics of the pump could be slightly damaged from condensation from steam leak

thats why they'll be cheap tho

[glacial cliff]

so many fun interesting things i nwatercooling

[rigid fjord]

cpu block for amd or intel?

[sinful cobalt]

Im not in the US

[glacial cliff]

amd am4

but can probably get mounting hardware for whatever

[rigid fjord]

then it'll only work on am3/4/5 tbh

[glacial cliff]

i think its ek quantum velocity

[rigid fjord]

like either of these?

[glacial cliff]

speaking of cpu blocks

my alphacool core cpu waterblock instructions says to spread the thermal paste for cpu in a then layer like when waterblocking gpus
is that all necessary?
or can i jsut do the typical large pea / whatever rules?

[glacial cliff]

left one

[rigid fjord]

then yeah, as i said, am3/4/5 only

[rigid fjord]

you could do the pea method and put it on, but tbh probably wiser to spread when it comes to waterblocks

also do you check the screws on the waterblock before mounting? @glacial cliff

[glacial cliff]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

[rigid fjord]

on a side not, there's some velocities looking similar to this that only work on certain 'X' sku mobo's

[rigid fjord]

to ensure the seal is correct

[glacial cliff]

ok yeah it looks good

[keen folio]

How likely do you guys think it is that apple will re release the xServe Lineup of Servers, considering more and more people are going away from Microsoft at the moment?

i mean, the old xServe G5 Servers were pretty solid. we still got some of em in my company, even tho they are quite outdated now, they still run good as storage servers

[wheat torrent]

who going away from microsoft

[keen folio]

atleast here in germany more and more companies and private customers are going away from microsoft. my company is currently in the process of switching entirely to linux as example

and ive seen the same with the US and other countries

[wheat torrent]

Using servers on windows hardware is not that common in the grand scheme of things if you look at the %

but I think it's even more rare for people to use apple systems

[keen folio]

but i think if apple re released their server hardware / Software to consumers many companys would spring onto it. Its a relatively secure, easy to use OS. with RDP like on windows it would be very good.

or atleast the option to RDP onto it from stuff like linux or windows

[wheat torrent]

apple hardware servers is like <1%

[keen folio]

yeah but thats because their last ever server was the xServe G5

[wheat torrent]

I don't see how them rereleasing such thing will somehow make a lot of users start using it

it would be lacking in every aspect

all implementations for those systems are outdated or non existent

it will take years for it to develop

there would be no reason for you to switch to it

would they offer it at a good price? heavily doubt

[keen folio]

i think atleast a few companys will start using it. or atleast try it out. many people have good experiences with apple. my company mainly services schools in our district. most of them already use apple devices. (iPads, macs and such) but managing them is a pain in the ass, even over MDM. since they dont instantly sync and such

[wheat torrent]

for example the mac minis are quite decent options for people who want to use LLMs since of the unified memory, so I can see the appel in that

[tall sandal]

Good score?

[keen folio]

Fair

[calm idol]

almost nobody is still using microsoft server, especially not on new employments. and xserve has been out of development for so long that its probably not worth starting to look at it again. and even os x server is not really used anymore. its either cloud via azure, aws, gcp or metal/vps with linux

[tall sandal]

Steel nomad 3d mark

[wheat torrent]

but what would those new servers from apple would offer?

[keen folio]

a stable operating system without as much spying as microsoft does it.

that would be my take. probably a few more options

[wheat torrent]

linux?

are apple hardware customizable and upgradable for those xserve?

[keen folio]

basically yes. the problem is that most of our apps we currently run are only designed for Apple and Windows devices, they simply dont run on Linux. we would need to rewrite every one of them

[keen folio]

considering the old xserve ones were, i would think yes. unless they run with the current M chips or something like that if they re released them

but knowing apple they will 100% go with M chips, or something in that way. maybe specially made server CPUs on Apple Structure

so in short, its probably very unlikely for apple to re release the hardware/software.

[calm idol]

apple has a similar amount of telemetry going to apple in macos by default... and the ai integration goes straight to openai...

[keen folio]

only if you activate it. Ai doesnt belong onto a enterprise RDP desktop.

or any enterprise server in my opinion. atleast when people work on it

[calm idol]

telemetry is on by default. copilot is also not fully active by default in windows afaik

[keen folio]

hmm alright

[calm idol]

and windows server is different from windows home/pro. afaik there is no copilot on there at all

[rigid fjord]

tbf, removeai on github fixes this in windows

[calm idol]

multible tools for the same job, i just use winaero with these tweaks

[rigid fjord]

apart from cortana and copilot, the rest of the is easily sorted in group editor

[rough salmon]

Is trunas still good in 2026, I only got 4gb ram

[rigid fjord]

yes

[rough salmon]

I have a 128gb ssd and 1tb hard drive and wanna use it for my network drive

And it has a 10gbps slot but my modem only has 2.5gb maximum lolll

If I get a router can I technically get faster transfer speed

[gilded sparrow]

9800x3d installed

[ionic peak]

Now power on

And pray

[gilded sparrow]

nah i gotta go throw on the cooler on my second pc injust put my old cpu into

[ionic peak]

2 pcs lol

Nice ps5 controller

[gilded sparrow]

yeah one im selling to my friend for $350 r5 7600, 32 gigs ddr5 4800, and a rx6600

[ionic peak]

Why barefoot on carpet

[ionic peak]

Better than my second pc

[gilded sparrow]

its just all my old parts

[ionic peak]

Its pretty new

I got fast internet to

[gilded sparrow]

ik there not old parts but i don't use them so

[ionic peak]

What he got atm?

[gilded sparrow]

nothin

[ionic peak]

Bd

[gilded sparrow]

hjs first pc its why im selling it to him for so cheap for his b day and bc i want hom to get into the hobby

[ionic peak]

He wana play games with you over steam?

[gilded sparrow]

yeah

[ionic peak]

Pretty nice present

[gilded sparrow]

yeah he got screwed over by economy

[ionic peak]

But you got his back

[gilded sparrow]

yerp

i was gonna sell it to him originally fir 500 but once he told me hes gonna buy it with his b day money i dropped it to $350

[serene python]

its pretty good tho had a little factory error thingy where the g key was faulty and was electrically closed even when not pressed / did it only some times so i had to desolder that and plop back one of the reserves

[rigid fjord]

sweet, that's annoying about the switch but glad you had enough spare to fix it

[wheat torrent]

have we peaked

[serene python]

it also sounds heavently

it feels like i am typing on the clouds

100% worth it , 0 regrets

[upper abyss]

uhh does anyone here know stuff about mousepads

[wheat torrent]

Glass

[upper abyss]

I wanted to but:

• i would likely prefer CR005 over SP005
• all limited WH ones are SP005 or in general SP lineage
• current limited (carnage) is about a 7-7.5/10 for me which isnt enough for 120€, i dont like blank
• other limited ones I like are over or on SP004
  so most sensible decision is a cloth pad until either limited CR releases or a pretty SP005

[ionic peak]

Its peak NASA Internet

[sinful cobalt]

personally I get taobao glasspads, those that are in the $50 area

[upper abyss]

hmmm

the thing is, mouse discords have such few active members that asking there feels profoundly useless

[sinful cobalt]

wallhack is pretty overpriced, their shit is china produced with good marketing

[upper abyss]

you think so?

[sinful cobalt]

also glasspads are preferably for tracking games

[upper abyss]

hmmm, like?

[sinful cobalt]

apex fortnite

basically those that are openmap

something like valorant and cs you want control pads

[upper abyss]

i kinda play more tec shooters or whatever

[upper abyss]

then i should use control glass pads or cloth? which do you mean

[sinful cobalt]

use cloth pads known for control

[upper abyss]

hmmmm

hmmmmmmmmmm

arent there more textured glass ones and doesnt glass make you more consistent?

[sinful cobalt]

tac shooters with glasspads are fine but the meta is still cloth control

[upper abyss]

figures, not like ill get to radiant anyways though

also dont want to spend much on cloth since it degrades anyways

[sinful cobalt]

cloth still takes years to degrade

[upper abyss]

hmmm, how much better is glass for tracking?

i also play tracking games from time to time like MR and so on

[sinful cobalt]

you need to try them out urselves

[native path]

you aren’t going to get much better because of your mousepad

[upper abyss]

fair enough, id actually have gotten the WH one if the limited edition shi would look better

[upper abyss]

yeah just changed consistency though, on a muddy mousepad you have friction zones and just shit overall

[native path]

i believe there’s a few pads mainly from lgg and artisan that are humidity proof bla bla bla, those are pretty good

[upper abyss]

1. what taobao pads would you recommend?
2. are there more control-based ones?
3. how long do you think until they usually arrive

[upper abyss]

hmmm

[native path]

get the product because you like it not because you think you’ll get better at the game because of it, because chances are you won’t

i would see if anyone has one you can try at a shop

[sinful cobalt]

for taobao pads I’d go with gwang

[upper abyss]

2€? 😭 i got the wrong thing

[sinful cobalt]

yeah that one

[upper abyss]

...2€?

[sinful cobalt]

tfym 2

thats 238 yuan

[upper abyss]

oh shii, yuan, looked like yen

[eternal cloak]

They do be using the same symbol, but that would also not be 2 euroes

238 Yen is more like 1.30 lmao

[upper abyss]

dayum

[upper abyss]

soo 30€, damn

[eternal cloak]

1 EUR = 183 JPY

[upper abyss]

japan really fuqed their currency or what

[eternal cloak]

Oh yeah, we're fucked lmao
Went from 110 JPY in 2020 to 160 JPY for $1

[upper abyss]

gah damn

[eternal cloak]

Is why a lot of people went over to just buy shit and resell on the western market. That mostly stopped ever since the Japanese government shot taxes for foreigners into the moon

[upper abyss]

yeah i heard of that, that really sucks for us but good for yall

for genuine tourist not profit seeking ppl i mean

[eternal cloak]

Doesn't really suck for anybody, it was about damn time

Those fees and taxes remained unchanged for like 50 years, it wasn't adjusted for inflation at all lmfao

[upper abyss]

[upper abyss]

appearantly "kanami hoshino" is a great one on taobao thats a bit more expensive, what do you think?

[eternal cloak]

They also tripled the price to apply for permanent citizenship, which is a little less cool but what can you do

[upper abyss]

FAHHH

why?

[eternal cloak]

Probably so conservationists warm up towards the new party more. Keep in mind the fee for it was also hilariously cheap as it was rarely adjusted

Went from 100,000JPY to 300,000 iirc

[upper abyss]

the country is always so idealized it makes me wanna go there but then some ppl say its really awful to stay longer than for vacation

[eternal cloak]

It is

[upper abyss]

damn

[sinful cobalt]

if it isnt cheapshit like 10 bucks then sure

[upper abyss]

its like 100€, some say better than wallhack

[molten patrol]

(my friend's pc i help him build) dk should blame the case (too short) or mobo's vrm heatsink (pointy edge) lmao

[pulsar root]

how am i blowing through more than half of my gpu memory not running any game 😭

[spring latch]

if u have wallpaper engine thats def why

[pulsar root]

i dont

all i have our tabs lol

[jaunty apex]

No way

Chrome hogs ram??

[pulsar root]

yes but thats fine; i dont see why its takign up vram

[jaunty apex]

If you have rebar, your vram is also ram I think. Might be misunderstanding it though

[south saddle]

is downloading older gpu driver versions take hours???

im literally just downloading 527.37 mx130 driver version and its taking 11 HOURS

[toxic barn]

[pulsar root]

oh

cuz 5GB feels like a LOT for tabs lol

[jaunty apex]

Well if you close chrome does it improve

What about a reboot

[sleek ibex]

Damn the Syrian Lira being more powerful than the Japanese Yen is wild

£111 SYP now equates to $1 USD

And what's crazy is the Syrian Lira used to be roughly £25,000 SYP to equate to $1 USD two years prior

[tall sandal]

Hardware acceleration?

Do you have it turned on, maybe that’s why

[pulsar root]

yes i do

if i turn it off i dont get the dlss stuff

[tall sandal]

Is that why it’s using up VRAM on the CPU, chrome

[muted spindle]

guys what will be the best gpu for 270$ mine cpu is ryzen 5 5600x

[tall sandal]

5060 or 5050

Likely 5050, 5060 starts at 299$ US dollars

[pulsar root]

maybe, im not sure

i thought vram was only used when playing a game

[ebon marlin]

6700xt can be found for 200 bucks

Rx 6800xt can sometimes be found for less than 300 bucks

[nova lotus]

Cable Management 👍

[jaunty apex]

That much.. Its usually gaming or a productivity task yea. Browsing doesn't usually dip into that unless you've got a lot of stuff using HWA

[boreal tiger]

i see duck tape

[nova lotus]

Yes

The panel is shut

Therefore

Excellent Cable Management

[nova lotus]

Gorilla Tape

[boreal tiger]

whats that thing on top of the pc ... wifi?

[bold olive]

uh guys

usb mystery talk

dell keyboard with intergrated hub wont work, throws code 43 when plugged directly into the motherboard. then, using a regular usb 2 hub, it just functions

how does that work

[nova lotus]

Its the Bluetooth thing for my headphones

[boreal tiger]

ah ok

[nova lotus]

I have it on a USBC to A adapter

The front panel IO on my desktop only has one USB c /3.0

Also if I put it on the back it blocks other ports/the signal gets blocked by the computer

[boreal tiger]

do you notice any delay in sound

[nova lotus]

No

Also good for cleaning and chillin to music

[agile stag]

are people gonna bounce back and buy more macbooks if theyre allegedly good or do you think that at least some people are finally putting down apple and are able to resist,,

[rigid fjord]

you can get a ugreen usbc hub and use more than just 1 usb c port there instead

[nova lotus]

Ive got some other stuff figured out, all is well

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4DFB8RH/ <- just in case, this is what i have off the single rear usb C port on my mobo

[nova lotus]

Oo

Yeah Ive got one of those

I use with with my laptop

Framework variety

[jaunty apex]

Its not that they are good, they've been good a while. Its a combo of good, relatively reasonably priced for what you get and a long support window with a currently well put together OS

This comes from someone who's last apple device was an IPhone SE 2016

[obtuse yew]

To bios flashing town I go ig

Yippee...

[forest lotus]

Stupid big. For a 2600K NAS server.

Shit gonna be quiet as fuck tho probably could run it passive

[gilded cosmos]

what's the verdict on the lisuan extreme lx 7g106? worth upgrading to it from an rtx 3070?

[abstract wigeon]

i think i cool breeze would satisfy the 2600k lmao

pretty sure my brothers rig had one and i gave him a broken stock cooler and had zero issues

[distant frigate]

T-Mobile during the Saint Patrick’s Parade. Lots of load on the network.

There’s a LOT of people

[sonic stag]

Would cvd be a good field to do rnd in

[obsidian adder]

Does anyone have any positive experiences with quad-monitor mounts? I've got 4 27" monitors in a 1-over-3 configuration currently, and the left/right monitors have been sagging more and more over time. I've used gas spring arms before and had similar problems as I have now with one that's got the stair-stepped looking arms, so I'm not really sure where to go. Was hoping someone here would have some good pointers

[rigid fjord]

in the case of the gas ones, sounds like the spring on it hasn't been wound up enough for greater resisitance

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1rshc1f/i_traced_2_billion_in_nonprofit_grants_and_45/ TLDR: Meta (Facebook) basically

[median warren]

Why

Oh I see what you're saying, I thought you bought it

[tulip sparrow]

Hmm https://youtu.be/Sb9YclnJIYM

[serene python]

microslop being like "yeah you cant run windslop on anything older than 2018 sorry"
linux: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQZZ21WZZr0

@rigid fjord look

linux running on a 4004

i mean it takes around ~~9 DAYS to boot up but it works

[shy arch]

And you still don't get free shipping 😭

[sonic hill]

so I updated windows 11 and my WD ssd got a drive from 2006? Did they even have Nvme then? how can I get a driver for the WD SN560 nvme? they don’t have it posted?

[shy arch]

Just watched that, it seems interesting, but man I was shocked by the performance of it's chip (it outperformed my $3600 M1 Pro MBP)

[brave brook]

the issue with neo is not CPU performance, it is RAM and connectivity

[shy arch]

Yeah, the 8gb is already low by today's standards so I can't imagine what it'll be like in a few years

[brave brook]

also depending on what was being measured, it could be down to performance cores having huge clock advantage (4.04GHz vs 3.2GHz)

[shy arch]

Well it seems windows installed it's own default drivers, maybe try uninstalling it and then rebooting? Idk

[shy arch]

Fr, although the lack of fans means that the mbp will be much better for sustained workloads

I believe it's gpu is still better than the a18 pro, though (10/16 core m1 pro)

[tulip sparrow]

Isn't the A18 down 1 GPU cores to 9 isntead of 10?

Or was it down from 8 to 7?

[brave brook]

6 -> 5

[tulip sparrow]

Couldn't remember how low the number was LOL

[tulip sparrow]

I knew it was single digits just couldn't remmeber how low

[tall sandal]

How is this 3d mark score

For steel nomad? What kind of desktop GPU is this similar to

[rigid fjord]

linux for you, it can be made to run on even worser hardware when needs be

[tall sandal]

For comparison

[serene python]

cant wait for this dude to get like a couple of transistors and run linux on them

[tulip sparrow]

Run it headless and it just flys on anything LOL

[tall sandal]

Damm man never seen this much watts on a laptop before

Maximum went up to 127w and was having 102 watts in cinebench R23

[serene python]

like the 4004 is so old, that the negotiation chips for usb c INSIDE THE CABLES are like 30x faster

[shy arch]

Out of curiosity what laptop?

[tulip sparrow]

could have sworn the highest was like 95watts for mobile

[shy arch]

Since for gaming laptops that's pretty common

[tall sandal]

ASUS TUF A16 2025 Ryzen 9 8940HX

[tall sandal]

Yea of course, got good thermals

[shy arch]

makes sense

[tall sandal]

Yesterday I tested it in ADIA64 stress test

90c, while 102w, and when boost after 6-7 wore out it was like 82 or so when 90w

[shy arch]

Thats good

bet it got loud tho

[tall sandal]

Didn’t reach max fans, but close

[shy arch]

Damn

[tall sandal]

Lmao for comapesion my old laptop has similar temps while having less than half the watts

[tulip sparrow]

My old Thinkpad T420 would run 90c+ even with replacement thermal paste and a good cleaning

[tall sandal]

I was quite impressed Ngl, and this is not Liquid Metal

[shy arch]

FR like my old 3rd gen x1 yoga seemed to like being 90+ while having such low watts 😭

[tall sandal]

just uses regular thermal paste or maybe PTM 7950

[tall sandal]

RIP

90c while 102w is pretty good for a laptop

[shy arch]

15 watts to be precise

[tulip sparrow]

2520m of all things. It did have the 3100m dGPU tho

[tall sandal]

I expected this laptop to run hotter, in videos I saw higher temps but those were Indian reviews.

Climate is hotter there, room temperature

[tulip sparrow]

The one that was basically the NVS version of the 520m

[shy arch]

Fr

[tall sandal]

For some reason no non Indian reviews of this exact model. R9 8940HX + 5070

The highest end model of this laptop

[tulip sparrow]

I wasn't even running an i7 and it was running HOT

[shy arch]

after a quick search why's that so true 😭

[tulip sparrow]

I replaced the T420 with my Sager(clevo)

[tall sandal]

Bro it’s true lmao

[shy arch]

what specs

[tall sandal]

These are the only 2 reviews, of this exact model I have

[tulip sparrow]

i7 7700hq+1060 3GB 24gb of ram

[tall sandal]

Others reviewed the low end version, base model with Ryzen 7 260 and RTX 5060

[tulip sparrow]

for the Sager(clevo)

[tall sandal]

Prob bad cooling design

Or warped heatsink

[shy arch]

24gb of ram in the big 26... lucky...

[tall sandal]

It’s old

Those sound very old, 7700hq

2017 jan it came out

[shy arch]

More likely it was constantly under high load because it would have an old cpu

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah that one is no longer used and just sits in the corner since the battery is dead and has both a broken screen and a broken keyboard current laptop is a LEnovo Yoga 2in1 rocking a AMD 8840HS 16gb of ram and a 1tb ssd running Endeavour OS(Arch based)
