[tired bear]

you dont know how fhrp works?

[simple ermine]

Yeah I do, just watchguards are a pain when it comes to physical appliance failover unless you have redundant lines

[tired bear]

wdym by redundant lines?

[simple ermine]

I played about in OPN using CARP for a while, but I’m just too comfy with my watchguards

[simple ermine]

Multiple WAN connections

[sand vector]

Hi can someone help me with this, my pc has been having boot problems recently and the code on my z590-3 asus motherboard kept saying there was a ram issue I took the ram out and I have 4 sticks of 8GB each is it ok if I just don't use one of them and use 3 (24GB) sticks, or should I buy a single stick.

[tired bear]

this is mandatory for all serious operations

[simple ermine]

Watchguards do be silly in many ways, but I’ve spent too long working on them now 😭

[tired bear]

hell my er605 at home has 2 wan uplinks

[lament kelp]

I LOVE having 36c on my cpu right now lol

[simple ermine]

Yea absolutely, I just don’t have multiple uplinks to my house haha

[tired bear]

my backup link is 4g/5g

[simple ermine]

I don’t have a backup line 😕

I’m broke af. Basically everything I have was rescued from the work scrap garage. The most expensive thing I ever bought was my shed to put the servers in

[tired bear]

if i had forti at home i would have set up better rules so that low priority shit gets offloated to shittiest link possible to free up good link as much as possible

[simple ermine]

I don’t an option in my hardware, I get whatever my work are decommissioning

[tired bear]

but you do in software

[simple ermine]

Kinda, I use basically the same suite I manage work wise

I get NFR license keys for all this stuff

Primarily Veeam, Watchguard, Sophos, Microsoft product keys too etc

Because I work for a big partner firm, we just get free keys for testing / labing basically

Oh mb

[clear canyon]

fear me

[frosty oriole]

Why don't we just use 2 EPS 8-pin connectors instead of 1 12VHPWR connector for GPUs?

[clear canyon]

ur asking the wrong ppl

[frosty oriole]

Well, I tried to Google it, and Google was like "BeCAuSE it'S KeYED diFFERentlY!"

[glacial cliff]

because nvidia

[lean flame]

https://youtu.be/VZ-L0P8Gn2M?si=oqWU-f1lpT5MGOcu

[terse pewter]

i believe because 1 12VHPWR connector takes up less space, while being more of a hazard

correct me if im wrong

[frosty oriole]

Haha, okay.

[terse pewter]

we just love creating the new RGBF standard: Red, Green, Blue, Fire

[glacial cliff]

dude actually thinks people spend $600 on their keyboard for "performance" reasons?

[bronze summit]

My terrible gaming gear

[glacial cliff]

looooool. he actualyl said "yuoure paying for aesthetics and they're calling it performance"

uh... no. we're paying for the pretty, and we're insance, and we know that. if you got skemmed thinking they were better keyboards, thats on you bein a dum dum

the only "perfromance" gains for a keyboard are Mechanical switches versus rubebr dome membrane, and wired versus wireless

anything more than that is paying the pretty tax

[bronze summit]

I paid for a Wooting 80he

Never went back or considered "maybe I should get X"

[glacial cliff]

there are benefits of hall effect over standard mechanical switches as well yes, but there is no reason that hall effect is any better/worse than any other hall effect keyboard at various prices

[bronze summit]

It was the perfect keyboard for an idiot

[bronze summit]

Nah it's just I never considered switching back to mechs or anything

Besides I get my own taste of mechanical keyboard at my job

And that's enough for me

[glacial cliff]

i get what you mean i'm jsut saying the same performance improvement can be had with any hall effect keyboard, it doesn't have to be specifically a wooting hall effect keyboard. a keychron hall effect, or a custom hall effect would have the same benefits

[bronze summit]

I mean tbf this is before the cheap Chinese ones started becoming more prevalent

[glacial cliff]

wait there's cheap chinese he keyboards now? 😭

[bronze summit]

Yea

[undone bison]

In yalls thoughts are Rokus worth it ?

[glacial cliff]

if you want to turn your tv into a billboard for ad placement sure 😄

i say, while ownign a roku tv 😭

[mellow sonnet]

apple tv

[glacial cliff]

overall solid advice and decent vid, but dude went too hard on the custom keyboard folks acting like they think they're getting performance gains from their $500 custom keyboards they spent a year waiting on groupbuys for.

nah, they jsut liked the looks

[south arrow]

I keep a 20$ hdmi adapter for older tvs just in case, beats making a antenna/buying one and scanning for channels lol

what is a good motherboard for the intel core i7-7700

[pale flint]

[junior merlin]

Z170

[livid perch]

Yo

Any1 here understands home electricity in the US?

I have a 2 story house and on the upper floor i got 2 rooms both rooms had electric heater on accidently at the same time over n over again a few times (well over like 10 times) and it happened again a few minutes ago

[hearty wharf]

yea

[livid perch]

The breaker is very hard to flip on now and even when I do electricity wont come back

Do you have an idea on what I should do next

[formal sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/stop-it-get-some-help-just-stop-please-stop-stop-it-meme-gif-26307878

Literally. Call an electrician. Do not attempt to re-enable the breaker.

[livid perch]

Or what could have happened it is an older house it has been renovated idk about the electric system

[hearty wharf]

flip it off the you should be able to turn it on

[livid perch]

My dads a electric engineer but that mf dk much about home systems

[livid perch]

It flipped off

So I flipped it on and now it wont work

[hearty wharf]

you may need a replac ment

[livid perch]

Its a 15 amp normal breaker

Top right one

[hearty wharf]

you can get them for like $30

[formal sonnet]

Should... unless the breaker has worn out or something else has gone wrong with the circuit. Since it no longer easily flips from off to on, and even when they force it power is not restored, this is now a safety issue.

[livid perch]

Its like 7 dollars i checked

[hearty wharf]

but for it to be in code it need gfci

it could be differnt for you

[livid perch]

I mean

Its really hard to flip thr breaker on

And my dad said smth is causing resistance prob showing it damaged the breaker

[hearty wharf]

National Electrical Code (NEC) Section 210.8 requires Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter

[livid perch]

But he dont really know how to change the breakers in US since he aint trained for it here

[hearty wharf]

yea it is proble better to fix it now then to wait

JUST CUT THE MAIN BRAKER FIRST

[livid perch]

I wont wait but im js trynna figure out what I should do

[livid perch]

What why

[hearty wharf]

it will cut power to the whole panle i ment turn it off

[livid perch]

Ion smell anythin burning nor is anything wrong with any other parts of the house also rest of the breakers are fine its just 1 of them thay controls the upper floor

The right top 15 amp one

[hearty wharf]

is that the main panle or a sub panle

[livid perch]

The only one

[hearty wharf]

oh

um

yea i would call an electrician

just to be safe

if you need it know ther is proble going to be a bigger chage

[clear canyon]

yes, its bc it has slowed down instead of sped up

[livid perch]

Welp

We opened the panel up nth seems burnt or damaged but the breaker wont even turn on there is a lot resistance

Called my uncle whos actually a house electrician in the Kebabland he said js find the primary electric switch turn that off get a new one and replace it

And ill do that tmrw pros of having an electrician unc and an electric engineer father ig

Its js a 7 dollar 15 amp classic good ol breaker hope nth goes wrong and hope u wont see "Kebab man blew the fuck off in CT" in the news so cyall for now

[wooden adder]

I love squiggly break writing

we had issues because ours kept flipping lol maybee because I run 2 pc and a mini heater

no clue what room was what so we bought labels and they are all nice and neat now

[livid perch]

Howd yall fix em

I have the same issue rn

[wooden adder]

we had a extra empty breaker for the pool we dont use and split my room off on its own to that breaker

so far that has seemed too work before id flip it once a day and its been like a week and I haven't flipped it

[livid perch]

Alr

Imma js buy a new breaker replace the bad one now and make sure my dumb sister uses the seperate line

Cuz apperantlt the plugs near her bed are actually separate from the other upper floor ones

Migjt js buy some duct tape to tape the other plugs off from that chimp

[wooden adder]

loll that is smart we got some rooms like that they are like half one half another no clue why

[livid perch]

Apperantly mfs thay built this housr in 1972 was prob doing crack cuz why run a separate line to only 2 plugs

On the upper floor like why only 2 right you could have seperate both the rooms and I wouldnt have to deal with ts now

[wooden adder]

lolll that when our house was built i always as cursing them for stuiped stuff

[livid perch]

Tbh

Buying a house in the US js made me realize how stupid houses are here

Bro shit is made out of paper and sticks and electric tech from the fucking 60s

[stable beacon]

i'm waiting for california to become its own country in the 2027 civil war

[livid perch]

Everything js breaks so fast its like crazy

[wooden adder]

I renovated the bathroom and there was just so much not great things like not bad but could be better, like holes around the floor vents that just where letting under house air come on in and same under the shower

[livid perch]

Im waiting for US to start building concrete and brick houses like in anywhere else in the world

[livid perch]

Our house was renovated before we bought but everything js breaks

[stable beacon]

i feel like those are already a thing specifically brick but i'm pretty sure in california they're wood because of earthquake codes

[livid perch]

Like holy shit how can everything have problems within 6 months

[wooden adder]

ours was too but they hired the cheapest guy they paid in full before the work was finished and he never came back

[stable beacon]

but the temperature control and insulation in here is absolute dogshit

[livid perch]

Gang im in CT prob the least seismic active places in the US and yet shits paper n wood

[stable beacon]

lmao

[wooden adder]

Last year a pipe broke and I had to crawl in the crawl space that is filled with random carpets and fix it while I was down there i found the old water tank that is half buried still had power going to it

[livid perch]

U pay 320k and shits made out of wood like i dont get it

[stable beacon]

[wooden adder]

im building my own house once I get out

[livid perch]

Its a house made in the 1972 gang

[austere palm]

[livid perch]

Tbh

Idrc anyways im going to florida next year for college parents do wtv they do until im a pilot so I can pay this shit house off and get em a new one

[wooden adder]

[formal sonnet]

Oh hey, it's that AirBnB that Levi someone on YouTube toured that one time.

[stable beacon]

i don''t know HOW to move out of the country and live sustainably

[livid perch]

Dope

I js wanna move back to Las vrgas get a house for a mil or 2

And fly as an airline pilot for like 10-14 years

[wooden adder]

I can wire and lay floor and such so really just permits and pay people for the couple things I cant do

[livid perch]

Do my investments right and js live peacefully and buy the cars I like look after my wife and kids

[wooden adder]

I choose cheapness lol I wish I could get a million dollar house

[livid perch]

Thays the goal

[stable beacon]

i swear to god san jose is exactly what the wealth gap looks like, we have trillions of dollars concentrated in one corner of the west and the entire east side is slowly devolving into single floor houses

[wooden adder]

I've seen that i haven't took a Airbnb to one yet thiugh maybe that is what I should look for next ive been to a decent few crazy airbnbs

[livid perch]

Oof

[stable beacon]

tbf that's where the actual culture is all concentrated but i deserve to be doing more than living with my parents out of necessity

[hollow otter]

Shoutout to ASUS for pushing out a new BIOS update yesterday that would’ve fixed all my issues 5 days ago when my PC wouldn’t boot due to DDR5 training failing 🤣

[gaunt spade]

js no buy 13-14th gen

[cosmic stratus]

What did you do

I hate that 14th and 13th gen are still well performant but I cant even trust it because 1 I LOVE to overclock my shit and 2 I cant trust any used listings on ebay

Forget buying brand new, obviously not gonna be getting my bang for the buck for that

If I wanna beat 13th and 14th I have to shell out a wopping 500$ for a 5700x3D being sold like an collectors item for whatever fuck reason

[gaunt spade]

i remember when 5700x3d was like 140-150$ on aliexpress 🥲

[ebon marlin]

I should sell my old 5800x3d kit

5800x3d + mobo + ram go for around 600-700€

[ebon marlin]

I got like 10k worth of random tech in my room I should probably start selling em off

But for now I gotta take a shit at work

[tidal geyser]

i already sold most of mine

😳

How do?

[loud glacier]

is the zenbook 13 oled w i7 1165g7 and 16gb ram still good today? mainly using it for school stuff like light programming and coding and prolly some comp and light games like valo or roblox maybe genshin or wuwa will be the most demanding thing ill do w it, how long will this thing last me?

[tall sandal]

Prob not the best

It’s a weak and slow cpu

[stray portal]

No

[tall sandal]

Not worth it.

Get a Lenovo legion 5i

Or ASUS TUF.

Don’t buy HP.

[native path]

hi chat how we doing

[sullen dune]

Pop os with KDE Plasma is so clean

[native path]

still good? eh it'll work. i wouldn't buy it now but if you still have it i'd say keep it and it's still worth using

[bold olive]

i could see myself dock a gpu

[stray portal]

office 2024 is kinda buns

should i just use office 2016 or 2019

those were the last good versions

[bold olive]

i won't need that big of a graphical demand and I like portability so

[ebon marlin]

Should handle all of that without issues

G7 means the integrated graphics tier and G7 is the best

Since you also have 16gb of ram you have access to Intel Iris XE igpu instead of Intel UHD aswell

Looking at benchmarks it handles valorant with no issues 1080p Low or Medium easy 120fps

Wuwa and genshin seem to run at around 40fps with it

[sinful cobalt]

I had a 3:2 laptop b4 I personally wouldn't recommend it

[gleaming rose]

I mean

$1700 is a good price tho

why do you not recommend?

tall screen sounds nice to me

[gilded imp]

no

[ebon marlin]

Tall screen does sound nice until you get to use it and realize nothing supports 3:2

[gilded imp]

cannot

[ebon marlin]

Better get used to black bars in ur screen

Yo guys can I ask something, why is ADIA 64 giving a nonsense wrong voltage. First image is ADIA 64 second is Hw Info Cinebench R23 and normal voltage

And multiple runs of ADIA 64, its always that nonsense same voltage, current and max

If that was real it’s not possible obviously, cuz if you undervolt a cpu too much we know it won’t work

[ebon marlin]

Because you are gay

Aida probably counts the average voltage while HWInfo lists everything

[gaunt spade]

fat jewish cat

[tall sandal]

Nah this voltage is strange

[ebon marlin]

You jew

[tall sandal]

Both times literally same min and max.

First image is turbo mode done on another day, second is performance

it seems fake, I mean 0.294 volts sustained no CPU will work under load. It would crash, and if that much current was being supplied it would be bad

in a laptop lmao

[south arrow]

XD

[tall sandal]

Yea these were 2 different Cinebench 23 runs on different days

And voltages are totally normal, obviously same as other devices, laptops. Same with thermals.

[south arrow]

Laptop things

[gaunt spade]

not me

[tall sandal]

Nah it’s a bug with ADIA 64

[ebon marlin]

Blyat burnt the crust

[tall sandal]

It’s showing a fake voltage I think, cuz 0.294 under load no cpu would work

[south arrow]

Mayhaps

[plush wren]

Tiny pizza

[tall sandal]

After -200mv under volts I heard serious things start happening

[ebon marlin]

Cuz I'm gonna eat it myself

Fatmaxxing

[south arrow]

I only run like -0.1 to -0.12

Smol changes , but most the time just run stock pbo auto tune level 1*

Laptops im sure act weird, so not suprised its getting odd readings. Could just be the app but id suspect

[gleaming rose]

https://salami.org/product/windows-file-explorer-wallet
waiting

[tall sandal]

Yea I mean Hw info with Cinebench reports good voltage

and it’s consistent like this on ADIA 64, lmao it was always 0.294

[south arrow]

Then yeah app just doesnt know how to read it properly definetly worth bug reporting mayhaps

[tall sandal]

It’s a stress testing app, an older one. I learned from this guy who cleans dirty laptops

[south arrow]

Every time I have to clean a used console controllers

[tall sandal]

He always uses it to test thermals, that’s where I found this out from

[tall sandal]

Yea they get pretty gross

Especially gaming laptops, there is there were substances on the laptop

This is my friends laptop lmao

[south arrow]

The forbidden flakes, so its not a scratch and sniff?

[native path]

ooo crusty

[gaunt spade]

clean

[fallow yacht]

ugh rubber

[tall sandal]

how to check silicon lottery btw

[south arrow]

Cinebench is good for seeing raw cpu performance and comparing to similar

Or 3d mark/its free demo for real world use comparison (it has a cpu score section in most test)

[tall sandal]

cinebench r23 I’ve got 31888, with turbo at stock.

[south arrow]

Not bad tbh

[tall sandal]

it’s an 8940HX, others got lower in reviews

[south arrow]

Should be set then

[tall sandal]

But it depends on the cooling system, and power limits. My laptop is very high on the watts and doesn’t thermal throttle, I feel in reviews a lot of gaming laptops do, 1-2%

Maybe ASUS get a thermal limit in the bios or smth

[tall sandal]

What’s a high score you would say

In general, for a CPU

[abstract wigeon]

anyone recommend a cheap beginner HOTAS i can grab? looking at this atm

[south arrow]

That depends heavily cpu to cpu best to just compare ones model

If it runs the tasks you need is all that matters

[tall sandal]

It’s great

single core for this cpu a little low maybe for its multi core, lower than Intel but still decent

[pure trellis]

Is it enough performance for you?

[glacial cliff]

Build updatesssssss

[pure trellis]

Good enough, but memory is slow for that CPU

Oh, yes,power connectors next to tubes with water

[modest sandal]

will that limit the performance a lot?

[glacial cliff]

Its sff everything is next to everything

[pure trellis]

I would say you losing about 10-15% at perfect scenario. But you should be fine, just don't max out AAA games too much

[pure trellis]

Perfection

[glacial cliff]

Im more worried about the unmounted sata ssd, and the mora power control module and the aquacomputer octa just chilling in the minimal free space personally 😄

But it is wat it is

[pure trellis]

You should be fine, I had an HDD like that,holded for an a year, before I mount it

[fringe prairie]

yeah

[glacial cliff]

Also worried how much the rotary 90s will be sticking up on the cpu side. I already had to adjust the sandwhich layout spacing to add another 10mm to the gpu side to get the 90s under the edge of the case. Might have to look for some specifically low profile 90s

[tulip sparrow]

RIP Chuck Norris

[stray portal]

Hes kinda right but in certain games intel can be better

[lapis talon]

Hmm

[stray portal]

For example i hear minecraft runs better on intel procesors

[lapis talon]

Oh wow

[ivory mountain]

love watching ego heavy fucks get owned

[grizzled frost]

if FSR didn't suck it would matter a lot more

[ivory mountain]

fsr4 is at least usable in terms of quality but yk they locked native support to 9000 series

[grizzled frost]

also FSR4 (the only one that might be worth using) is 9000 series AMD gpu's only right?

Hah, same thought

[lapis talon]

AMD fans can only say "Nvidia relies on fake frames" because FSR just isn't there yet 🥀

[gaunt spade]

i found a 3060 for 135$

[ivory mountain]

u can use optiscaler to get 9000 on older cards but the fact u have to do that at all and it still looks dogshit compared to dlss

[grizzled frost]

you couldn't tell the difference in real and fake frames if you tried 99% of the time with DLSS4.5

[sinful cobalt]

and only if it didnt take 3 business months to release them to new games on launch (that is not AMD sponsored)

[lapis talon]

What's that thing called Redstone or whatever? I thought that was some new kind of FSR tech

[lapis talon]

Oooo

[grizzled frost]

DLSS 4.5 genuinely is that good

[tulip sparrow]

CUDIMMS make a HUGE difference with the new Intel CPUS

[grizzled frost]

That's what they call their suite of Upscaling and frame gen

[lapis talon]

Ah

[lapis talon]

Oo that's cool

[grizzled frost]

it's basically their name for the software FSR is based upon

[lapis talon]

I never saw my frames increase when I turn on DLSS, so I just don't bother checking

[grizzled frost]

How much difference you see does depend a lot on the settings

[lapis talon]

Heard a lot of hype about it

[grizzled frost]

I just set it to quality with single frame gen and call it a day

[lapis talon]

Huh

[grizzled frost]

(playing on a 4080S)

[grizzled frost]

DLSS 4.5 settings matter a lot

[lapis talon]

I'm talking about DLSS 4

[grizzled frost]

Still applies, the settings matter a lot

[lapis talon]

I haven't enabled 4.5 in the app yet

[sleek ibex]

Virgin DLSS 5 vs Chad DLSS 4.5

[grizzled frost]

DLSS 4 and 4.5 are extremely similar, DLSS 4.5 is essentially just a quality update

[lapis talon]

5 is so 🥀

[lapis talon]

Ah

[grizzled frost]

Oh you could notice artifacting on DLSS 4? DLSS 4.5 says nuh uh

[lapis talon]

Dawg I'm half blind, I wouldn't notice most things anyway lol

I'll try it out the next time I get on my laptop

My cpu thermal throttles too early so there's no point in enabling any sort of upscaling for me

[grizzled frost]

@untold scarab T1 Restock, get it while it lasts

I wish there was some sort of frame gen for creative workloads

[velvet current]

rate pls!

[grizzled frost]

Vectorworks is gonna kick my ass with rendering

[jaunty apex]

mfw nvidia literally uses a frame capture to regenerate a scene for dlss 5

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wchwh-quceA

[grizzled frost]

6/10, above average

[velvet current]

what can be improved

[untold scarab]

holy shit getting it rn

[grizzled frost]

get a desktop

[grizzled frost]

Get the CNC ano if you can

[velvet current]

im only home for sleeping n sundays tho

i need to upgrade laptop forsure

[untold scarab]

wdym

[grizzled frost]

The CNC anodized panels

[untold scarab]

the correct site is formdt1.com right

[grizzled frost]

Correct

[untold scarab]

why is the cnc so much more expensive

[grizzled frost]

Manufacturing is a lot more complex, it really is worth the upgrade though

the panels are a lot more rigid, makes the build feel a lot more premium than it already is

[untold scarab]

the difference is like 60 dollars bro 😭

sorry 50

thats the cost of shipping

[ebon marlin]

What the fuck is wrong with this Lenovo Yoga laptop

Doing a windows installation half the keyboard doesn't work but when doing a linux installation the keyboard works but trackpad doesn't work?

[grizzled frost]

Trust in iroh, it's worth it

also you don't have a lot more time before it likely goes out of stock

i'm honestly surprised it's still in stock

So make your decision quickly

[ionic atlas]

Didn’t know yoga people used Linux.

[ebon marlin]

Bought it from work

[ionic atlas]

Work got you a yoga?

[ebon marlin]

Nah

I work at a recycling center so I bought some laptops at the end of the week

[ionic atlas]

At work you need to Think, so a thinkpad is justified

[ebon marlin]

Microsoft Surface 5 Pro, Dell Latitude 5280 Touch, Dell XPS 13 9360, Thinkpad X280, Thinkpad X220 and a Lenovo Yoga 520

All with their chargers and 8-16gb ram and 256-512gb ssd's for 40€

[ionic atlas]

Someone left a barely ever used thinkpad L14 here at work in our new server room. Was used to login to Cisco network. Once. Lmao. free laptop came with the building.

Not the best but I take it

Tho prob will be our server room laptop anyway

[ionic atlas]

Is it just laptops no longer supported to run win11?

[ebon marlin]

Nah

Alot of these work and some of these just need a cheap fix

10-20€ fix

For example this Dell Latitude 5280 with a touchscreen

Everything works but it's missing a switch and a keycap

A Thinkpad X280 in good condition with a bios lock

Thinkpad X220, Dell XPS 13 9360, Microsoft Surface 5 Pro all fine with no issues

[ionic atlas]

My Dell Precision laptop is on life support

[ebon marlin]

Lenovo Yoga 520 is fine just buggy

[ebon marlin]

I got one of those a Dell Precision 7560

i7 11th gen with an RTX 3000 Quadro card

[ionic atlas]

I think mine is a 5030? Something with a A2000 card

15” But it’s trash now. The 4K display is so nice but that’s about it

[grizzled frost]

15" 4k display?

[ionic atlas]

HDMI doesn’t work. CMOS battery keeps complaining. Battery doesn’t work, dies instant if you unplug the power cord, and because the surface is bad after use, I need to use a external one on top else it’s sticky surface

I have an all AMD integrated HP Elitebook at work, which 13” 1080p, works and has a Ethernet port. But performance starting to age a lot. And battery last only few hours

[ionic atlas]

Yes. That was the reason I got it as I needed portable 4K to develop my media player on.

It’s this one https://www.amazon.se/Dell-Precision-5530-pekskärm-arbetsstation/dp/B0BW49QR3T

15,6”

As a display nerd using the matte 1080p on my 13” HP , it’s pretty disgusting in comparison

[pure trellis]

P2000 is like 1070, right?

[ionic atlas]

No idea. But it’s a good card. All I wanted was like 1050 level? Which is my base for gpu

[ebon marlin]

p2000 has 4gb of vram

[empty quartz]

One more reason why you should not take ai’s statements at face value. There has never been a canadian province named alta

[ebon marlin]

it's better than a 1050 ti but much worse than a 1060

[ionic atlas]

Compared to GTX 1050 Ti, it’s ~10–15% faster on average

Yeah

[ebon marlin]

these are all the same gpus that use the same GP107 chip aka the P2000 card

[ionic atlas]

1050ti is imo. The best upgrade away from Intel graphics you can do. So much value without needing extra power plug

[ebon marlin]

1650 exists

[empty quartz]

Intel igpu?

[ebon marlin]

they go for 30 bucks cheapest atleast here in Finland

[ionic atlas]

Yeah.

[empty quartz]

Only time when its a decent upgrade is uhd 770 and whatnot

[ionic atlas]

Before recent time. Buying a laptop was like… either you get a gaming laptop which is terrible being a laptop. Or 99% used Intel integrated

[empty quartz]

Iris xe and the new arc igpu’s are farrrrr better

[ebon marlin]

30€ with no pcie connector

[ionic atlas]

Now there’s AMD integrated which is nicer since the vega

[ionic atlas]

We put those cards in a lot of office machines. Nice upgrade

[carmine yew]

solid card for 30, great for testing / troubleshooting

[ebon marlin]

i stole a low profile 1650 from work last week

or was it wednesday

[empty quartz]

Only amd igpu that beats the b390 in gaming is the 8060s

And thats barely an igpu

[ionic atlas]

My MacBook also good igpu now.

But most heavy I use it for is ffmpeg and it’s on the cpu

[empty quartz]

Which macbook

[ionic atlas]

M4 Max.

[empty quartz]

So barely an igpu

[silver shell]

Genuine question for everyone. Been doing some thinking and research and have already made the leap over to Linux, however the people that genuinely can't due to one reason or another, why not build a privacy-focused EDR with a windows-specific update intelligence layer?

[ionic atlas]

But the combination of finding good GPU in laptops that efficient. Hard for of side. Hence i been looking at that new b390? Laptops

With tandem OLED 120hz

[empty quartz]

Keep an eye out for an 8060s

[jaunty apex]

A what with a what

[ionic atlas]

I’m more focused on a smooth nicer desktop/app experience than gaming for laptops. Prefer the handheld if I wanna play on the go.

how often should i be cleaning my mouse

lmao

[gilded imp]

When it’s dirty

[severe cairn]

i think its just the coating tho

that makes it look like that

[empty quartz]

Use some ipa

[severe cairn]

no thats gonna ruin the coating

[empty quartz]

No, thats called greasy hands

[severe cairn]

i wash my hands always before playing

[empty quartz]

You are one greasy person then

[severe cairn]

its just the coating of the mouse

its not grease bro its legit just sweat

[ebon marlin]

that's grease

[silver shell]

Its not, I understand this, but it IS achievable. Thousands of people collectively mapping every data collection point in real time creating a blacklist for them as well as guarding their own machines.

[severe cairn]

ive had this mouse for 2 weeks max

[empty quartz]

Grease is sweat

[severe cairn]

huh

[empty quartz]

Are you a child or smt?

[severe cairn]

sweat is water salt and other things

[empty quartz]

Salt water, oils, ect

[severe cairn]

modern competitive mouse coatings are meant to absorb sweat to make the mouse grippier

[empty quartz]

No

if u werent using ur 10yo g502 you might understand

[severe cairn]

as a mouse designer

they are :3

[empty quartz]

Im using a 3 month old mouse that probably costs more than your monitor

[severe cairn]

what mouse ?

[empty quartz]

G903

[severe cairn]

ew

g903 in 2026?

[empty quartz]

Yes

Because its the only mouse design thats large enough for me

[severe cairn]

no, theres a lot more mice

[empty quartz]

No

[severe cairn]

i use a small mouse because i aim better with smaller mice

[weary rampart]

G502 is fucking goated man. Still using mine only replaced once in 10 years or something through warranty too

[severe cairn]

ok can u drop the entitled character you dont know much about mice

[empty quartz]

What makes you an expert

[weary rampart]

Although I am looking to upgrade to a wireless mouse since I want to play while laying in bed.

Desk is next to my bed. Just get a monitor swivel arm and wireless mouse and In good

[empty quartz]

@weary rampart this mouse looks tiny in my hands lmao

[severe cairn]

i mean i've ONLY been designing mice, more specifically mouse shapes since i was 10yo, i'm 18 now.

[weary rampart]

Bro got hulk hands

[severe cairn]

also

[empty quartz]

Wouldn’t work for me

[severe cairn]

for what

[weary rampart]

You still talk like youre 10 however

[severe cairn]

this discord is so entitled holyy

its legit impossible to have a conversation

[empty quartz]

No

The definition of entitled is far from what you’re using

[severe cairn]

sorry, redditors***

also tell me why the EC1 wouldn't work for u over the G903, give me 2 actual reasons

[empty quartz]

Take a good look at the photo

[severe cairn]

can't you just tell me the reasons

[eternal cloak]

You could also just provide an actual reason

[weary rampart]

Bro is just rage baiting so he can post on a competing tech channels reddit or discord about how the LTT community sucks and then he gets a million updooterinos and he become s happy since that is his only way to get validation

[eternal cloak]

It's like saying "Ask him" when you ask someone where they hit you

[severe cairn]

i'm sorry what????

[silver shell]

Mans is getting in a genuine argument over a mouse and we are entitled lmao

[empty quartz]

How about you just stay out of this, i’d rather not have another argument before my new headphones arrive. I mean no disrespect to you at all.

[severe cairn]

i'm literally just talking about mice and this guy has some unparalleled ego over it

[severe cairn]

are you real

[eternal cloak]

If you don't want anyone to intervene, there's the door

Public chat and shit, I don't think I need to spell it out to you

[empty quartz]

I tried to be nice, but fuck it. You always butt into conversations, and it always ends in an argument.

[eternal cloak]

Brother, idiot told him into his face that he has a "[...] a 3 month old mouse that probably costs more than your monitor"
And you're surprised he has a negative impression of LTTcord?

[severe cairn]

The Zowie EC1 is larger than the G903, it's also suited better for your palm grip. The EC1-DW is an extremely high quality mouse, higher quality than Logitech. The G903 is outdated and too heavy.

[empty quartz]

Its not too heavy.

Im not doing competitive gaming

[eternal cloak]

Yes, because that's how public chats work innit
Take it to DMs if you don't like it.

[silver shell]

A g903 is like $110 US lol wtf is he on about

[severe cairn]

Also I wouldn't flex paying way too much for an 8 year old mouse, 3 months ago.

[weary rampart]

People really arguing about a computer mouse. Who the fuck cares what mouse someone uses

[severe cairn]

He clearly cares enough to say it costs more than my monitor.

[weary rampart]

My dad uses my old g502 and he likes heavy mice so he puts in all the extra weights

[eternal cloak]

I just use a G502 Hero. Has two side buttons, costs like $30 while still being a quality mouse, enough for me

[silver shell]

Thats what I run, nice and comfy

[severe cairn]

Preference isn't optimal, also heavier mice just cause more pain overall.

[weary rampart]

Bro please

[severe cairn]

Lighter mice have less inertia, so not only does it takes less force to start movements, but also to stabilize and stop them.

[eternal cloak]

You're not gonna like that I used to use 150g springs on WASD, space bar and enter key then

[weary rampart]

Preference is more important than w/e imaginary stat a company or person can make up

[empty quartz]

I pay more because it was what works best for me

[eternal cloak]

Said "made up stats" (not made up btw) are a matter of getting carpal tunnel or not btw

[severe cairn]

If the stat was made up, why can you see the difference on a scale? Are you gonna start saying that scales are a lie?

[eternal cloak]

If I went back to playing osu, as I'm a mouse aim user, I would need to take out the weights I'm using in my G502, otherwise I'd be having carpal tunnel within a matter of a week lol

[severe cairn]

Honestly wouldn't surprise me coming from you guys, I know you're afraid of scales

[weary rampart]

Yes and no. If you get a mouse that just doesnt fit well or comfortable it can be 1g or 1kg but your hand will compensate the shape and give you different pains. Ask me how I know

[eternal cloak]

.. how the fuck does that correlate to carpal tunnel at all lmfao

[severe cairn]

You wanna know something crazy? You can find a light mouse with a shape you'll enjoy even more.

[eternal cloak]

We were talking about the weight of the mouse, not the shape

Or at least I was lol

[silver shell]

I think everyone fumbled the plot along the way lol

[severe cairn]

if you like the G502, this is basically the same thing. But 55g, better sensor, great wireless, great build quality. Also $40.

[weary rampart]

Anyway. People heard about the Swiftpoint Z2 or Z3. Looks cool and I like weird stuff but not sure if its worth trying

[severe cairn]

You don't get the same amount of extra buttons, but you don't need them.

[weary rampart]

It doesnt have the thumb button for dpi though

[severe cairn]

Who cares

[eternal cloak]

I hate that shitty ass DPI button so much

I'm actually gonna disable those keys, I completely forgot about it

[weary rampart]

I love it. My hands are jumpy sometimes so it is useful to me

[eternal cloak]

I have no reason to switch my DPI to begin with

[weary rampart]

Especially with precise aiming when sniping my hands get twitchy so using the dpi switch helps a kot

[empty quartz]

I was wrong everyone else is right. I dont care about this convo, my new headphones are here

[severe cairn]

You'll never believe what I'm about to tell you; heavier mice are harder to be accurate with, because all motion is more difficult.

[severe cairn]

I knew I was right about you being scared of scales

[eternal cloak]

Everyone else moving on:

[weary rampart]

Brother its not a weight issue its an inherent issue with my fucking muscles

[empty quartz]

?

[severe cairn]

Get a light mouse, get used to it.

If you have some issues with your muscles, a lighter mouse will definitely help you, as it will require less effort from them.

[empty quartz]

I dont care, my new headphones arrived, so I dont have to continue out of boredom

[eternal cloak]

Now that just depends what kinda psycho you are

[eternal cloak]

You care so little you keep this shit going

[severe cairn]

I don't really care about your headphones tbh

My mouse collection is probably 10x the cost of them

[eternal cloak]

It's subjective to begin with, but if you're playing at 3,000+ DPI anyway, the weight matters little

[weary rampart]

I can have a mouse with 0 weight and I would still have my arm shaking.

[severe cairn]

DPI isn't inherently sensitivity, that's kinda innaccurate

[silver shell]

I don't think I've ever witnessed someone ragebaiting with their opinions on Mice before.

[severe cairn]

But weight won't make it better; stability is something you can train, inertia isn't. It's simple physics, really.

[weary rampart]

Talking about dpi apparently high dpi with low in game sens is better or something. Much more smooth movements

[weary rampart]

Yes muscle issues I can train to go away. You cant tell a paraplegic to just train their legs

[severe cairn]

High DPI results in more accurate and lower latency tracking. Diminishing returns past ~2400DPI, 1600DPI is great for pretty much everyone.

[severe cairn]

Heavier mice will make it worse, get used to a light mouse WITH A GOOD SHAPE FOR YOU, then go back to heavier. Trust me, it will feel terrible.

[weary rampart]

Yes cool a lighter mouse will help but I still want my dpi button. The weight is inconsequential to me.

[empty quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[severe cairn]

Just lower your sens, or get better. Having a DPI button is just a crutch. You'll be much better off improving instead.

[weary rampart]

If someone has parkinsons you also tell them to just train with lighter mice or something

[severe cairn]

Do you have Parkinson's?

[eternal cloak]

Ah yes, because everyone definitely knew you have Parkinson's

Get a 502 Hero and put the weights in then

That's like what, 200g?

[severe cairn]

Anti-Parkinson's weighted mouse

logitech i got u with some new marketing fuel :3

[weary rampart]

I dont but I have an issue sometimes which I can resolve using a function of the mouse I use which a lighter mouse would never solve by itself

[severe cairn]

Same logic as people that cheat in games. I'm bad, so I'll use an aimbot instead of getting better.

[eternal cloak]

My grandfather's doc (my grandfather actually has Parkinson's) says to combat hand tremors even a standard 502 Hero would be enough lol

You'll want to be in the 110 to 150g range

[severe cairn]

For anyone who doesn't have Parkinson's, a mouse weighing less than 70g is ideal.

[weary rampart]

Bro cant be for real he is actually saying if you have parkinsons just train with a lighter mouse

[eternal cloak]

Are you stupid?

He specifically says for people who don't have it, are you on shrooms? lmfao

[silver shell]

Same logic as people that cheat in games. I'm bad, so I'll use a lighter mouse instead of getting better.

[weary rampart]

I misread that chill out man

[eternal cloak]

How about you do considering you were arms' ready to crash out about the guy lmao

[severe cairn]

A lighter mouse raises your skill ceiling, in the same way a higher refresh rate monitor would. Let's all play competitive games on 60Hz, anything higher is cheating!!!

I find it funny when ppl are confidently wrong, realize that they're wrong, then keep on doubling down.

[deep musk]

Just ordered these (for my server)

[weary rampart]

Bro has been combatitive about me wanting to have a DPI button on my mouse the whole time as well

[severe cairn]

Cause you use it as a crutch instead of just getting better.

[silver shell]

Crank it down to 30fps and introduce input lag, train yourself the right way.

[severe cairn]

See that's obviously a joke, but some people would actually believe that.

[weary rampart]

Im not though but ok. When I have hand tremors it makes it easier to aim and deal with sometimes. But you do ou

[severe cairn]

I'm glad I'm not stupid enough to believe that! Also guys look at my new budget headphones.

this discord is a shithole sometimes x)

https://tenor.com/view/jameskii-gmod-garrys-mod-garry-mod-garry-gif-25097319

[rigid fjord]

understandable, though the g502 is perfect for mine personally

[severe cairn]

Zowie EC1/EC2 would fit so many of you guys

[eternal cloak]

You're just shilling Zowie mice aren't you

[severe cairn]

or a Vaxee Outset AX

[weary rampart]

Ok great for you if I buy a lighter mouse and dont have hand tremors anymore then youll be the first to know.

[rigid fjord]

mind sending me a link to said springs dude

[eternal cloak]

That was ages ago, but they were aliexpress springs

[rigid fjord]

i have more control over my g502, i've even added in extra weights to it because it was still to light for me

[rigid fjord]

better than a 25k sensor?

[eternal cloak]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001467821918.html

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004450820990.html A little cheaper

[silver shell]

Oh man, don't resummon the peanut gallery. He will argue with you for having your own opinion.

[severe cairn]

yeah

PAW 3395, 26K DPI, although DPI doesn't matter anymore, it's just a number on a spec sheet

[weary rampart]

Bro now he is gonna jerk off zowie again

[severe cairn]

i'm talking about some chinese brand called MCHOSE rn

[rigid fjord]

ah okies, been after some heavier duty springs, i know i'm after some silent switches, and most of them have light springs, so i might be able to do a best of both using heaviers springs while using a silent switch

[severe cairn]

Zowie make solid mice, like I still have this old wired Zowie FK2 from like 2014 2015

Feels very good and solid, although the shape isn't really for me, too flat.

i hate discord

[rigid fjord]

it's going to piss him off more that i've added an extra 36g on top of the weights it comes with

[weary rampart]

I actually made the shell of my mouse out of tungsten so I get some more weight

[eternal cloak]

I still had a Razer Naxa Hex from 2012 up until very recently, idk what that's supposed to prove
In fact it technically still works, I just scraped off the pads at the bottom because I was deep cleaning it and then forgot I didn't have any spare pads

[severe cairn]

you guys are using weight as a crutch, just get better

[rigid fjord]

so very much wrong

i'm not using my whole arm to control something that only needs a quick wrist flick

[severe cairn]

i could perform just as well on the zowie fk2 from 2015 as on my current main mouse, the ATK F1 V2 Ultimate

[weary rampart]

If my mouse isnt at least 2kg its unusable

[silver shell]

I couldn't get with the Hex, although alot of people liked it

[eternal cloak]

Although you're supposed to use your arm rather than your wrist cough

[severe cairn]

only needs a wrist flick if ur sens is too high, what about super small movements? you leave those up to luck?

[weary rampart]

This guy is like Pandoras box when you start talking about mice

[rigid fjord]

my sensitivity is low

[empty quartz]

@rigid fjord my new sundara's are here, but the left driver is DOA 😭

[severe cairn]

i can tell you that compared to mine, your sensitivity is extremely high

[silver shell]

RIP

[eternal cloak]

There goes flexing with your $400 headphones

[severe cairn]

damn, what a shame. maybe you should've bought a light mouse instead?

[weary rampart]

Isnt that the average hifiman experience

[empty quartz]

they weren't $400

[severe cairn]

this guy was flexing his headphones soooo bad earlier, i can't feel bad for u. if that isn't karma then i don't know else it couldve been.

[weary rampart]

If you buy a lighter mouse you might actually fix your amputated leg btw

[empty quartz]

they were roughly $220 cad

[severe cairn]

there is a non zero chance

[rigid fjord]

if i want to play fps's i'mma use my 8bitdo u2c, if i'mma play mmorpg's i'll use my g502

[eternal cloak]

Ah
They're like $420 in Japan so I was like "Oh damn" lmao

[rigid fjord]

if you can open them up without making it to noticable so id doesn't fuck with warranty, i'd check cables just incase

[weary rampart]

Shouldve just gotten the DT990 pro. Mine still work after all the abuse. Just need new pads and some cleaning

[severe cairn]

honestly just RMA them

[rigid fjord]

also sennheiser is my go to for audio

[severe cairn]

too bright for me, i'm a HD599 user, even after trying MDR-Z1R (best closed backs), HD599 are sooo comfortable and i like the warmer sound more than other headphones, I have EQ on them and i couldn't consider switching tbh

[full quarry]

Whats a more budget friendly mouse than a lamzu maya x cause thats what someone recommended me last time my budget is 20-50$ same for a monitor

[weary rampart]

Bro opened pandoras box again

[silver shell]

https://tenor.com/view/ah-shit-here-we-go-again-ah-shit-cj-gta-gta-san-andreas-gif-13933485

[empty quartz]

I did

[weary rampart]

Theyre all fine imo. Only issue I have with the dt990 is that new the band is so tight on your head and without EQ if youre sensitive then the treble is painful

[full quarry]

Please help

[empty quartz]

@severe cairn if we’re talking headphones, i respect everything

[severe cairn]

what's ur grip/hand size

[eternal cloak]

Standard pick is G502 Hero, those can be had for $25 on a sale, $30 to $35 normally

[snow mauve]

$50 budget for a monitor?

probably facebook marketplace in your future 😄

[eternal cloak]

95%+ of people don't know what you're talking about btw

[full quarry]

Around 8 inches

[severe cairn]

yeah mb

im used to mouse communities

[full quarry]

I didnt say it had to be good just usable enough

[weary rampart]

New for a monitor really just spend 80-100 at least imo

[full quarry]

Someone else told me that that one was trash when I asked about it

[full quarry]

Ok

[severe cairn]

honestly if you can buy the ATK X1 from atk.store or aliexpress, solid option for the price (mouse)

[eternal cloak]

Then that guy banged his head against a wall a few times too many

[empty quartz]

@severe cairn sorry for being so rude earlier.

[severe cairn]

it's fine, be nicer to people online.

[weary rampart]

144hz 1080p monitor ips panel and 1ms g2g response is what youre aiming for imo

[rigid fjord]

used a multimeter on it with soem audio being played?

[empty quartz]

No, dont really want to risk it, since i just got them 30 minutes ago or smt

[severe cairn]

@full quarry you should get this, Viper V3 Pro clone

[serene python]

@rigid fjord hey remember the cpu that i was making that with multiplication operations went down to like 100 mhz?

[rigid fjord]

yeah, hows it going?

[full quarry]

Thx

[severe cairn]

i personally main an ATK mouse rn, it's very solid

[empty quartz]

@rigid fjord Well, not risk it, but i dont want to accidentally damage it to the point of an rma being denied

[serene python]

ok so i changed the hardware and got 150mhz

then tweaked it a little and got 208,3mhz
