my first cmf product is coming tm anything i should know

[golden sage]

ahh yes im aware, perhaps i should've phrased my question better! 😄

Is there any good guide i can look at about lossless scaling or a video perhaps?, ill do my own research too ;D

[wheat torrent]

Loseless scaling requires your motherboard and cpu to be able to do enough pcie lanes

I would bet that thing doesn't have enough lanes to run 2GPUs

It does pcie 2.0 x4 for second GPU, not enough

[golden sage]

ahh dang

[wheat torrent]

https://sageinfinity.github.io/docs/Guides/DualGPUGuide

[golden sage]

Thanks friend!

[wheat torrent]

• Anything below PCIe 3.0 x4: GPU may not work properly, not recommended for any use case.
• PCIe 3.0 x4 or similar: Good for 1080p 360fps, 1440p 230fps and 4k 60fps (4k not recommended)
• PCIe 4.0 x4 or similar: Good for 1080p 540fps, 1440p 320fps and 4k 165fps

[golden sage]

Yeah, just saw this. a bummer indeed

[wheat torrent]

Some Temu Keyboards are very good value for the price, quality and feel specifically ajazz ak820

So someone asked me today:

they had a yellow night light filter on their desktop monitor and they took a screenshot, but when they viewed the screenshot without the nightlight filter it didn’t show the night light yellowish filter and it showed up as white. They thought the screenshot would show up yellowish

How would you explain what’s going on here?

[wheat torrent]

Because the filter is done as post processing in the monitor

It doesn't change the colors in windows

The same way If you set your monitor brightness to 1 or 100, a screenshot looks the same

I’ve bought my first ever tv today

Feeling 40 no less like I’m building a house

How are we feeling about the TCL T6C?

[rigid fjord]

@left dove hehehe, no more realtek audio

surprisingly, win 10 and win 11 drivers for this still, could have gone for a different one in black and similar I/O

[sleek ibex]

[regal heron]

i have an HP All-in-One desktop 24 cb0xxx pc, is there any kind of way to check what version my HDMI port is, im trying to go for a second monitor 1080p 144hz 24inch but i dont wanna find out that my pc is limited to 1080p 60hz with an 1.4 HDMI port, i have only 1 HDMI port which is an HDMI OUT port

[hexed tapir]

HP website

[regal heron]

its not really specified what version it is

also am i in the right channel😭

[valid canyon]

You need the xxx part

HP is known for shitty model names and it’s for a reason

Reason being that they hate you and don’t want you to know

[serene python]

@rigid fjord hey did you see?

[tidal geyser]

testing me some video playback be fun

managing 6.77 W on video playback be noice

[agile topaz]

I would like to ask, is there any perceivable benefit to doing this over just using an external dac/amp combo?

[rigid fjord]

i saw the binary instructions there

[rigid fjord]

said card acts as a dac without having to go external, also it fixes poor grounding issues that can happen with onboard audio

[left trellis]

yo sim

so my op18k scroll wheel was bugging, like it scrolled the wrong direction sometimes, so I got another 9mm encoder, same type,, replaceed it, but the mouse isnt detected anymore 😭

I'm not a solder guy so its lowk chopped

It still recieves power and the DPI light turns on and works but, the usb is detected but not recognizable

[tidal geyser]

did you clean all the flux off with iso

show pic of other side of pcb

[west hound]

Hey everyone!
I'm a bit lost on my NAS setup. (Ugreen DXP 4800 Plus, running NextCloud, OnlyOffice, Immich and some other stuff in Docker containers)
Following usecase:

I produce films, which can easily excdeed 20TB / project. So I mainly need a lot of big storage at once.
At the same time, these projects involve a lot of planning, which we mainly do in Word/Excel. We also want to move this into our own cloud.

So I thought I'm smart and buy an SSD to accelerate document editing etc. But now that I'm actually trying to set it up, I am not sure what the best approach is.

My main goal is to keep data structure simple, so I'd really hope I could leave it all in one folder per project.

Idea 1):
HDD based folder structure, where each project has a /ssd subdirectory, that mounts an ssd folder into it, for the fast stuff like documents.
Pro: Dedicated SSD space
Con: If I "just backup the disks" those mount mappings are lost and need to potentially be recreated somehow.

Idea 2):
All HDD based, just having NextCloud run on the SSD, but have the HDD as the main storage pool, with SSD enabled as a cache. (How well does that work while also hosting immich on the SSD, should I split the volume?)

Are there more approaches? What's the best practice here?

[tranquil thicket]

All my app icons just moved places on accident. Is there a way to get them back to where they were?

[rigid fjord]

@agile topaz when it was marketed

[west hound]

ooh I have one of these 😄

But had to kick it out for a 10Gbps NIC 🙁

[agile topaz]

Ah I see

[rigid fjord]

it'll run off a pcie x1 slot, so.....

[west hound]

I only have Pcie x0 slot left over 🙁

Well, technically I have one slot left, but it will significantly block GPU air input

[rigid fjord]

pcie x1 risers exist

[west hound]

fair, but pain xD I'll survive on the internal dac

And moved my 5.1 setup to the living room

That was my main usecase for it, for some reason my built in Toslink only does Stereo

[fallow yacht]

apparently windows ain't supporting old drivers anymore

[rigid fjord]

depends on what device it is i guess

[rigid fjord]

tbf back during win98se days, winxp days and win7 i got spoilt with the audio from some soundblaster cards

[fallow yacht]

i mean expired ones

[valid canyon]

You don’t need a lot of fast storage all the time

You should have a long term slow storage

And a short term fast storage

Your fast cache idea is good

You might also want to consider a working SSD for proxies and a long term slow storage for large files that will be pulled on render

[west hound]

The issue is that they're mixed together.
I usually have a file structure like this:

/project/
> Preproduction //just documents
> Production //20TB of files
> Postproduction //smaller files again, maybe a few GB.

Especially Preproduction should be snappy for file editing. But I don't have the cash for 20TB of SSD xD

[west hound]

I'll keep proxies on my local system while editing

[valid canyon]

Then there’s no real reason for a separate ssd

You primarily have 2 use cases: 1 is for the caching
2 is for the proxies

[west hound]

Isn't there a third?
The apps themselves should be running on the SSD too. So they need access to the SSD to run their DB etc on it.

[valid canyon]

It’s negligible

[west hound]

So I will need to split up the SSD between that and caching

And I guess immich thumbnails would be good on the SSD (although ig that's a kind of cache)

[valid canyon]

Storage speed only really matters on scale or latency dependent applications

For your immich it’s gonna be fine indexing your relatively fast HDD

Your document processors won’t see the difference

https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1426230565790679100

Here’s what can be done for thumbnails

[west hound]

hmm. Even if five people work on OnlyOffice and I have multiple people backing up to their immich?

[valid canyon]

Pretty much

I mean you said it, you don’t have the money to spend on a larger ssd for immich

I don’t see why it shouldn’t be okay

You should be fine backing up to the HDD

As long as it’s not a crappy 20 bucks drive

[west hound]

Well 500GB should last for a while just for thumbnails and some documents I'd think?

[west hound]

Ironwolf Pro 24TB

[valid canyon]

Yep

Look, if you want an ssd for documents and thumbnails sure

You just slap it on, define volumes and pass them to docker

That’s gonna be it

[west hound]

yeah just worried about splitting up project paths between two drives

[valid canyon]

For yoh specifically I don’t see a clear reason to use an SSD outside of just cache

[valid canyon]

Yeah well that’s different

You can have a cold HDD just passively copying stuff

You can get another 500 gig ssd and do a raid

[west hound]

hmm yeah, I guess I'll set it up for now that the app runs on SSD and the rest is on hdd.
And setting SSD as cache for NextCloud and then we'll see where it leads

[valid canyon]

You can do offsite

[valid canyon]

That’s pretty much it

[west hound]

okay thanks, will just try that

[valid canyon]

Good luck

[west hound]

sorry for the back and forth, just a bit unsure and having to copy around 10s of TB of data again and again because I messed the setup up is no fun xD

$700 with crimson deser and a 512GB ssd, may order tonight (i cant see a downside to picking this card?)

[south nova]

Anybody can help me w my pc just randomly turning off n not turning back on?

[pulsar root]

Check if ram seated in or not (you have to give it more of a force then you think)

It should automatically lock into place

[south nova]

i got that fixed now

but now my sound is gone and i am hearing like a random noise

[cyan wing]

can someone help

my pc randomly freezes and becomes completely unresponsive

[south arrow]

[cyan wing]

the only way to get it to work again is holding the power button to restart it

[south arrow]

Power down fams

[south arrow]

Check the windows volume is still set to your monitor/headphones, or speaker etc

My ladys for instance got stuck to her dualsense the other day and she was like "where's the sound" lol

[cyan wing]

how can I troubleshoot ts

[south arrow]

Does it freeze upon every boot?

Or doing something specific? Did you change something?

[cyan wing]

its not upon boot

its just randomly

[south arrow]

So its lets you login

[pulsar root]

Oh yeah that happened to me too

[cyan wing]

the time between freezes can be between like a few hours but sometimes its like 5-10 minutes

[south arrow]

Alright then what just sitting there it poops?

[pulsar root]

I could just randomly be doing something and the cursor becomes unresponsive

[cyan wing]

doing literally anything it'll happen randomly

[south arrow]

Check power saving options

[cyan wing]

yeah cursor becomes unresponsive and I can't click or do anything unless I turn off the pc

[south arrow]

Potentially* and unset any sleep/limiting features

[pulsar root]

Yeah that happened to me too

[cyan wing]

did you fix it?

[cyan wing]

I have all of that off tho

[pulsar root]

Nope

[cyan wing]

and it's not a sleep feature

[south arrow]

Could try a bios update

[cyan wing]

when did it start happening for u?

[cyan wing]

How do you do that?

[south arrow]

But if it gets to be an in depth issue definetly include everything that happens, and that you've tried in #1027757333117415424

[balmy tapir]

if you have a spare usb you could try a live linux distro just to see if its a windows issue

[cyan wing]

bro

it just happened to me as I was making a tech post on my pc

😭

[south arrow]

There's videos for most motherboards just seek the exact motherboard model (can use hwinfo64 if you dont know the model), then lookup the exact motherboards bios website by searching exactly that

[cyan wing]

I do not

But it doesn’t happen in bios

[south arrow]

Then download the latest bios for that specified mobo, extract it to a usb, then boot to bios and q flash if its a feature your motherboard has(a youtube video for the exact mobo is recommended for the first time)

[cyan wing]

dont have a usb

[south arrow]

Can also download it to your boot drive i believe*

Unless needing to flash from a button vs in the bios

[balmy tapir]

depends on the manufacture i think

[fast girder]

hey guys so i got this server fully equipped (ryzen 9 7900, 196gb ddr5 ram, nvme, 4tb ssd etc..$1400) im using it for AI. i was wondering, can i watercool it with a Thermalright Frozen Notte 360 Black ARGB V2 Water Cooling CPU Cooler?

[south arrow]

Sounds right will need to see your exact motherboards manual or a youtube video to see how its done as it varys board to board

Once started you just hangout till its in windows. If using the button once its done flashing you'll boot to bios and check the version # changes

[balmy tapir]

make sure its good weather outside too 💀

[cyan wing]

b550m

I think

[cyan wing]

70 degrees and sunny 😊

[left trellis]

No, i didnt use flux

[south arrow]

Download hwinfo 64 and run it then use the exact motherboard model (anything else will fail or corrupt the motherboard)

[cyan wing]

ugh this is so annoying

[south arrow]

And this myte not even fix your issue, just a thing to check lol

[cyan wing]

omg

ok i’ll try

[south arrow]

Dont have to ❤️

Could be a driver, loose cable, compatability thing

Technologiaaa

[pulsar root]

it was after 3-4 years using it

[cyan wing]

I’ve used my pc for nearly 5 years without fail this only started happening like a month ago

[pulsar root]

its annoying for zoom calls because i would just disconnect

[cyan wing]

ok bro now I cant even use it

[pulsar root]

audio would also bug out

[cyan wing]

It’s been loaded for less than 5 minutes

and it’s fucking frozen again

[cyan wing]

but like how long ago

[pulsar root]

6mo ago, i dont use that pc anymore

[south arrow]

If you can can also check crystal disk info to inspect your drives health

[pulsar root]

you can try to reseat your ram ig

[pulsar root]

if drive is about 5gb away from being full can that impact it

[cyan wing]

500gb free on the drive

[cyan wing]

done that too

[south arrow]

Im more curious its overall health

Complete stuttering/freezing either the cpu ram or storage is pooping

[cyan wing]

No stutters when I play

[pulsar root]

it only had 256 gb of ssd : (

[cyan wing]

Just freezes

[south arrow]

So just gotta go one by one

[cyan wing]

How

i dont have a spare pc

[south arrow]

Check drive health using crystal disk info app

[cyan wing]

how

why does it have anime girls on it

[south arrow]

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/xp8k4rgx25g3gm?hl=en-US&gl=US

Use the standard lol

Unless you want to i suppose xD

Look man I dont make the ui here

[cyan wing]

also why is my screen so gray when i boot my pc

[south arrow]

ow0

I uh, idk on that one. Maybe its sad ||jokes||

[cyan wing]

when I restart the display with amd app it becomes colorful again

what does this mean

[south arrow]

Not the ssd*

✔️

Can close that they are good, hrmm

[cyan wing]

okay now how do I check other things

[south arrow]

So freezing and greyscreen

[cyan wing]

grayscreen isn't a real issue lol

just worried about the freezing

[south arrow]

Myte want to watch a tutorial on running ddu and reinstalling the latest driver for your exact gpu

Could be a two in one necer know

[cyan wing]

I feel like it might be a recent windows update or something

windows 10 would never

[south arrow]

Is there any updates that need done in optional or the main settings tab?

[cyan wing]

no

just froze again lmao

[south arrow]

Is there anything open on your pc rn?

[cyan wing]

opera gx, discord, windows settings

[south arrow]

Do you use any McAfee, Norton, anything except windows defender?

[cyan wing]

but its frozen while idle

[cyan wing]

no

[south arrow]

Any other usb plugged in beside the mouse and keyboard?

[cyan wing]

I have my webcam, my headphones, and a couple loose usbs like the one for my controller

[south arrow]

Try unplugging all of those except the mouse and keyboard

Then reboot/restart

[cyan wing]

how ima use my pc without headphones

[south arrow]

Just for testing* if it fixes we know to try one by one. If not then its something else

[cyan wing]

its gonna be mad annoying plugging these back in

[south arrow]

Troubleshooting joys lol

[cyan wing]

the problem with it is I can’t just replicate the freeze

[south arrow]

Right

[cyan wing]

it just happens after a bit of time

[south arrow]

If after 20 minutes of no usb you'll know it seems

It happened to you like twice since we started talking

[cyan wing]

well it depends

before these freezes it hadn’t in a couple days

does any of this look odd

[south arrow]

The Grey screen does lean toward a meh graphics driver though, but up to you if you wanna try a ddu and reinstall with a tutorial

[cyan wing]

whats a ddu

[brazen elbow]

Would you say it's worth replacing the thermal paste on the zotac 5080 with ptm-7950? I'm sure it would void warranty but I've had the card for over a year now

[south arrow]

Uninstalls driver updates so you can do a fresh install, a tutorial will explain it in depth

Just be sure you look up ddu and your gpu

[cyan wing]

what am I doing a fresh install of

[south arrow]

The graphics driver since your getting greyscreens (a graphics issue) also myte cause the freezing but no promises

[cyan wing]

I can fix the gray screen if I just make the display reset itself by clicking like one button in amd software idrc abt that

unless u think the freezzes is the gpu too

[south arrow]

Right it seems somthing is off with it

[cyan wing]

okay ddu

[south arrow]

It may be but I cant know for certain

[cyan wing]

hey im back on my phone lol

wanna guess why 😸

[south arrow]

Keks

[cyan wing]

u think its temperature issue

[south arrow]

Any favored tech tuber should have a ddu video, jayz, gamerz nexus etc

[south arrow]

No temps seems good

Graphics driver or bios update, but leaning more toward the driver

[cyan wing]

okay lets see if I can without it freezing

😢

[south arrow]

https://youtu.be/jxwDPu_hOD4?si=3J0gvgJPfEaI39st

Robeys cool to, does lots of building every week

[cyan wing]

my pc froze while watching that lmao

[south arrow]

I feel for ya

[cyan wing]

im gonna turn it off for a few minutes bc that seems to make it not freeze for longer

[south arrow]

Watch the video on your phone twice then do it on your pc once ❤️ so you can try to get it and run it before it crashes

Within safe mode as the vid shows ofc

[cyan wing]

all my important stuff is

somewhere else

high risk high reward

🥹

[cyan wing]

bro it froze inside safe mode 💀

[south arrow]

Sad wiggles

[cyan wing]

uninstalling the drivers broke my 2nd monitor

[south arrow]

The video should include installing just be sure to select the right one, and should've had you test only 1 monitor on display cable from the start, my fault for not asking

[midnight meteor]

Quick question anyone know how to fix the issue where you can only hear music and gargled audio?

[cyan wing]

I’m just wondering why my 2nd monitor isn’t being registered now

I could try unplugging the 2nd one

[dry zodiac]

Home network question! Where should I put ethernet access ports in my home? Its a new build here is the floor plan

[formal sonnet]

We need a lot more information to effectively troubleshoot something like this. I recommend creating a thread in #1027757333117415424 with your full system specs (make and model of all parts), a description of exactly when, where, and how the issue occurs, along with any error messages observed, and any troubleshooting steps you've tried and their outcomes, then patiently await a response from a volunteer.

[south arrow]

The graphics driver drives the graphics card (its, its instruction)

[cyan wing]

im reinstalling the drivers rn

[dry zodiac]

Im already planning behind the TV in the family room and up in the loft where my PC will be. Any other suggestions?

[cyan wing]

ok my 2nd monitor works now

[south arrow]

Ggs, hopefully that fixes it

[cyan wing]

it reset my hertz 🤢

and the color is fixed now

🤑

[south arrow]

Thats one thing at least, we take the W

[cyan wing]

it reset my monitor positioning too lmao

I had my monitor heights set perfectly 😔

[south arrow]

Now just bootdown once done and hope for the best

[formal sonnet]

I recommend installing at least 1x, if not 2x, CAT6 (or better) RJ45 Wall Jacks on every wall where you might have an electronic device capable of being wired. You need not go crazy, but if you think you might put a TV / computer along a wall, or a SONOS speaker in a corner, install 1-2 RJ45 jacks nearby.

[cyan wing]

installing drivers makes the pc reset on its own lol

I will though

[formal sonnet]

I would also recommend uploading your floorplans to something like Ubiquiti's Design Center so you can effectively plan your WiFi, too. (Even if you don't use Ubiquiti, their design center can be helpful.) https://design.ui.com/

[cyan wing]

wherever you want them

duh

[dry zodiac]

Alright and where should I get my data panel installed?

Itll need to be near my ONT so I can connect the two

And i have no idea where my future ISP will wanna plop that

[formal sonnet]

In that case, we will need to know where your ONT will be installed. We cannot answer this question without this information. Or rather, we can, but then there's no guarantee you'll be able to connect your ONT to the equipment in your data panel without running a surface-mounted Ethernet cable after the drywall is installed in the home...

[dry zodiac]

I assume the garage, but thats right next to the microwave

Which means I couldn't put a router there

[formal sonnet]

Your router should be placed as centrally as possible in the home, or as centrally as possible to where you use WiFi the most.

[dry zodiac]

Lol the center of the home is the microwave. Its above the stove in that floor plan

[formal sonnet]

RIP WiFi... (when the microwave is on, that is.)

[dry zodiac]

I literally cannot find a good spot for a router

[cyan wing]

put it in the cabinet

[dry zodiac]

In one of the kitchen cabinets?

[cyan wing]

yeah

[dry zodiac]

Good idea tbh

I could maybe get it in one above the fridge

[cyan wing]

could also put it in the pantry lol

[formal sonnet]

If you put the data panel upstairs (which would be weird, but doable) I'd put it in one of these locations.

[dry zodiac]

Data panel will most definitely be on the first floor

Otherwise the linen closet would be the networking closet

[formal sonnet]

If you put it downstairs, I would put it in one of these locations, but plan for ethernet runs that you would use for WiFi access points. Again, the Ubiquiti Design center would help you a lot in this regard.

Location of the ONT likely will be closest to where services enter your home. If you have aerial services from a telephone pole, it'll be from the pole to your home. If you have underground services, consult your contractor.

[dry zodiac]

I do plan to have an ethernet access point on the wall in the corner of the loft next to the WIC. My PC will be there. I could have a switch on my desk that will connect to an access point and then have the main router in the coat storage or something?

[dry zodiac]

Itll be underground they started laying lines down today actually

[cyan wing]

that sounds like an unnecessary length it'll need to cross

[south arrow]

[dry zodiac]

Wym?

[formal sonnet]

Ubiquiti Design Center is love; is life. ❤️ I do this for a living at work, albeit with overly expensive Meraki hardware. It wasn't until I started at my job that they actually did any planning using building floorplans. 🤣

[cyan wing]

from the storage closet to next to the wic

[dry zodiac]

Sorry I was saying the port outlet will be in that corner of the loft

Which is where I plan to put my PC

Bottom left corner of the loft when looking at the plan

[cyan wing]

ah that makes sense

That sounds like it would work well

[dry zodiac]

And i can have a switch to connect more devices if i want

So like I could have the main router with the ONT either in the garage or in the coat storage, and then an access point upstairs on my desk in the loft behind my monitor

[dusty egret]

Or do what my ISP does and have a router with a stupidly powerful ap. Like the modem/router/ap my ISP provides I can pick up my neighbors wifi like some 500 feet away while standing in my kitchen

[dry zodiac]

LOL

What router do you use?

I typically buy my own hardware

[dusty egret]

I use a Dell PowerEdge R230 running opensense with a tplink AP, but man the ISP's built in AP is enticing to say the least lol

[cyan wing]

I wish my wifi wasn't capped at like 50mbs

[dry zodiac]

Honestly the ONT , data panel, and router in the garage might actually make the most sense

My car is in there and it NEEDS wifi

And i can just put an ap in the loft on my desk if it becomes a signal problem upstairs

You can have an ap show as the same ssid as the main router right?

[cyan wing]

why does your car need wifi lol

[glad delta]

can intel optane still be used to do something like speed up an old HDD

[dry zodiac]

Tesler

Gotta get them software updates!

My car charger will need it too

For the same reason

[glacial cliff]

for starters - don't just run ethernet to everywhere you want ethernet. run PVC with ethernet in it, so you can later upgrade / change to fiber / add additional runs / add display cables in the walls / etc.

where to put ethernet - if you're down to go for a full pro-grade access point, put a POE ethernet port right over that kitchen, very centrally located to the entire house so you don't need to get multiple/ don't do somethign silly like do a mesh system. While you're already thinking of ethernet everywhere, people will use phones, and why not have wifi for them.

put one on each of the two walls for the breakfast nook (will be useful later if you have kids, doing school work while one of the parents is cooking to 'supervise' them; or for things like tabletop gaming). but a few in the family room (game consoles, HTPC, possible desks in future, etc). maybe one either side of the fireplace then one each on the left/right walls.

put a bunch in the garage, if you think it remotely possible you'll ever transition the garge to workshop space and not car parking space. Additionally, makes a good space to throw a server rack in in future if you live somewhere without blistering hot summers. at least 1 within close reach of each of the 4 corners of the space.

make sure to run power to the owner's suite WIC so many peopel forget this. but a dressing table in there for the lady of the hosue, where she can have her curling iron/blow dryer/flat iron/etc, and not need to perch it all precariously on the bathroom sink

if you're running power to the WIC might as well wun ethernet in there too, maybe you'll put a server in there for eventual security cameras? who knows.

some in the owner suite, at least 2 walls

at least 1 wall each in each of the bedrooms.

sprinkle some in the loft, as if the family room doesn't become the space for everynoe's electronics, the loft might. or you might throw some cool adult toys up there like 3d printers or laser engravers or etc.

[dry zodiac]

Thank you! Ill get with my construction manager about these suggestions. I do get charged $100 per port after the first two though so I cant just go ham

The loft is definitely going to have one though regardless as thats where my gaming setup will be

[formal sonnet]

I mean, if this is a new build... paying $2000 for 20 network jacks is a drop in the bucket. Plus, it increases resale value for you when the next homeowner buys...

[dry zodiac]

Same deal with behind the TV

[dry zodiac]

Hmmm true

The house is currently at $343470.15

[formal sonnet]

Right so $2000 is nothing. Relatively speaking. And it's a LOT harder/ more expensive to add ports later.

[dry zodiac]

Yea i definitely see what youre saying

Im going to have a selections meeting with my construction manager next week so ill bring all this up to him

I appreciate all the insight from you all!

[solemn pewter]

It’s expensive to do it right now. It is catastrophic to go back and redo it right later.

[formal sonnet]

If you want to impress your construction manager / be prepared / have something concrete to show them, I still recommend you upload your floorplans to Ubiquiti Design Center and draw out your network.

[dry zodiac]

I will! Thank you!

[glacial cliff]

dont tell them you want ports then ask for empty PVC pipes to the locations you want ports, that terminate in empty 2-gang boxes with blank panels over them

then now that you have clean pvc running everywhere, fish the lines yourself

[grizzled frost]

make sure they include pull line for you

makes it 10x easier to pull cable than empty pvc

[glacial cliff]

the little crimper to terminate ethernet runs is dirt cheap, like 20 bucks iirc. then a pack of 10 rj45s is usually a few bucks. and a run of 250 foot untermianted cat6/cat7 i bet isn't insane

[azure topaz]

like, 65$ at home depot apparently

[grizzled frost]

cat6a is usually the route for cable and terminations

fastest you’d ever reasonably need, and usually not too expensive

and when you use a pull line to pull new cable, remember to also pull a new pull line

[dry zodiac]

They cant do empty PVC pipes ive already asked for this for my charger wiring

[formal sonnet]

Find a different contractor. In most jurisdictions, you absolutely can do PVC conduit for low voltage electrical.

[dry zodiac]

Also my garage will be insulated so I can definitely put things in there

[left dove]

Have you ever considered audibly meowing at your boss when you don't agree with them

[dry zodiac]

I dont have control over that

The builder hires contractors

[dusty egret]

That's bullshit

[formal sonnet]

Are you the one paying the bills to construct this home? If yes, you have control over it.

[dry zodiac]

And if I walk away from the deal I lose my deposit which is 5 figures

[dry zodiac]

Trust me I pushed for 2 days on this

[formal sonnet]

Sigh. I will never understand the construction industry. It makes me sick to my stomach.

[dry zodiac]

Its either accept the no or lose my deposit

[dusty egret]

part of me says do it yourself while their not at the property but thats just me (not legal advice)

[formal sonnet]

No, I can't say I have. But I have considered setting the building on fire... I could do it, you know.

[dry zodiac]

Im not allowed on the property until closing with the exception of a few inspection days

Its technically not mine until closing

[sleek ibex]

I'm back at it with the VLB project

[left dove]

WHERE MY EMBED

[glacial cliff]

Light blue - POE port
light blue w/ dark blue outline - POE in ceiling/eaves (if outside)
green - regular ethernet

this is what I would do if it was me and that was my future house. and all of these would be run through PVC pipes to a central location like the attic, so they can be easily repalced/upgraded/added to

[formal sonnet]

It's Tenor... they likely gorfed the Embed of some of their content since the API changes.

[dry zodiac]

Yoinking this thats perfect

[formal sonnet]

Um, as far as the contractor is concerned, you don't need to have them differentiate between PoE and non-PoE RJ45 jacks. This is good to know as the person who's installing the equipment, but the contractor just needs to run quality CAT6A cabling and RJ45 terminals.

[glacial cliff]

this is a "we dont want to let you do it yourself because that's lost profit margin, so we'll tell you we can't and hope to upcharge you into paying us to do it. and then in 10 years when you need to upgrade, you'll have to call us back out for more business" statement, and not a "we aren't allowed" statement, ftr

[glacial cliff]

ye i was jsut telling him for his info

[dry zodiac]

I literally offered to pay extra lol

They just said I would have to hire my own contractor post closing

[dusty egret]

I'd also say make sure the contractor knows where everything terminates to. The amount of horror stories on r/homenetworking where the contractors terminate outside the house is scary

[dry zodiac]

They dont even want the extra money from it they just said no

[glacial cliff]

the problem is that running it after-the-fact when the sheetrock is already installed is 100X harder

[dry zodiac]

I believe its the garage but ill verify next week

[glacial cliff]

thats why if you're building from scratch you ask for it as part of the process 😭

[formal sonnet]

At work, we require the electrical contractors installing ethernet properly document and label everything, otherwise they don't get paid.

[dry zodiac]

Its a pre designed floor plan that im adding networking upgrades to. Not 100% from scratch

[formal sonnet]

Wait, does this pre-designed floorplan not include ANY networking at all? I don't mean the 2x "free" RJ45 jacks. I mean does it not include ANY RJ45 jacks as part of the default plan?

[dry zodiac]

Lol no

The entire networking package is all upgrades

[formal sonnet]

WTF. It's 2026.

As a contractor, if your building plans do not include network jacks in 2026 you have failed to keep up with modern day infrastructure required for basic living. This doesn't surprise me; it just makes me sad.

[dry zodiac]

Brother I had to upgrade to get a SHOWER

[glacial cliff]

tell them you do active long distance display cable runs for remote displays from the operating equipment. there is no code where they have that written in as part of in-wall installation code, except in pvc pipe style installations. see if that changes their tune

[dusty egret]

EXCUSE ME

[dry zodiac]

Still cheaper than other builders that had it included funnily enough

But yes the base plan just has a garden tub

[glacial cliff]

ahhhhh i see. they have a ikea-style cookie cutter build plan, and they smack out hundreds of these so their contractors probably have a higher apprentice-to-master ration in the trades that lets the mget away with less skileld labor

[formal sonnet]

Is this like... a townhouse? Or a residence inside an HOA / Community League / apartment / condo?

[dry zodiac]

"Good luck we cant do that"

[dry zodiac]

Yes its cookie cutter

[glacial cliff]

if you train them a repetitive task, they don't have to be super knowledgeable, so they won't do pvc in the wall because their low-skill labor isn't familiar with it

[dry zodiac]

I think its more so its not a normal thing they do so they are trained in it

Its not a valid "upgrade" offered

[glacial cliff]

they think a "smart home panel" that is a metal box cut into the drywall tucked away in a closet is the height of modern living

[dry zodiac]

I also live in Alabama just FYI

Solar is lowkey illegal here

[formal sonnet]

Ah, yes, my favorite. "Why is my WiFi shit?" Me: Discovers the WiFi router is inside a metal cabinet. 🤷

[glacial cliff]

yes, they think it's a good idea to shove your smart home networking panel in a metal enclossure

because #whynot 😭

[dry zodiac]

And im going to be legally required to give my ID to microsoft to use windows pretty soon bc that was just passed here

[vital mist]

I have a b650 eagle ax and the cpu light is on all of a sudden. It's not a new build i have had it for about 6 months worked fine

[dusty egret]

Wtf just did a quick google. Got solar, the power company can charge more and HOA's can just say F*** you get rid of it. Alabama WTH

[dry zodiac]

Im taking care of the router myself thankfully.... I just need to figure out where the ONT is going to be put

[glacial cliff]

random middle of the wall in the family room

i bet 20 bucks

[dry zodiac]

Yup!

I get fined for solar every month and that's even if my HOA allows it

They are legally allowed to block it here

[glacial cliff]

if its not in a 'smart home panel' inside the coat/storage closet dowanstairs, it'll be on a random ass super visible spot in the family room

[dry zodiac]

I think i calculated the setup i want to get to run me a fine of about $81 a month

[dusty egret]

I've got opinions on that but they should not be said aloud

[dry zodiac]

$81 a month on top of paying for financing for the thing just for generating my own energy

[glacial cliff]

or they won't even run the final conenction themselves, and they'll leave it up to your future ISP to drill a hole in the side of your brand new house and run a wire along the siding outside

[dry zodiac]

So much for paying extra for an insulated garage

[glacial cliff]

largescale development builders are absolute sharks and cutt any corner they think they can get away with so it's going to be asinine and silly

[dusty egret]

My isp tore up my driveway when they installed my fiber, need to fix the asphalt now kinda pi**ed off about it

[dry zodiac]

I do know the fiber is going to be already set under the lawn bc they started that today

[glacial cliff]

that home inspector/content creator down in arizona is a prime example with all the shit he finds on his new construction inspections

[dusty egret]

"He showed that we suck at our jobs make him shut up" LOL i love cookie cutter developers

[glacial cliff]

buddy pal friendo.

i too, had dedicated fibre-to-the-home installed by my builder as part of a new construction build in 2019. guess where the fiber line ended. outside, in the ground, a foot away from the buried power line going into my electrical meter.

builders often 'leave that up to the home owner' and don't make final placement decisions on it, its horrible 😭

[dry zodiac]

Oh I just looked it up my floor plan has the fiber line routed next to the electrical panel

So my ONT will be in the garage by the wall shared with the foyer

[glacial cliff]

i will say he did the smart think and ran it through a 2inch pvc pipe burried udner the driveway to make access better.

[dusty egret]

I'm going to hate it when I have my detached garage rebuilt within the next 10 years. Because I want to relocate my power to it and have it be my server and solar building.

Would have to do solar on the garage because of the trees and how my roof is. The solar tech when I got the quote pretty much said "good luck have fun" because if I wanted solar on the property as is I would get almost no benefit because I love living in the country so many trees to ruin my plans

[left dove]

If you need to have your boss annoyed I will fly up there and be a goddamn nuisance

I'll sit outside the office door and just meow

and eat fish

Maybe I'll plant some old food in the drop ceiling

Want me to take a shit in their shoes?

[proper gull]

[left dove]

Don't question it tbh

[left trellis]

Anyone here OC?

Is 1.7v chill on S16P

[south arrow]

I have 1 baby cat he has the sweet murder mittens of doooOooom

[dry zodiac]

My house will be out in the open and the roof slopes are facing east and west..... perfect for solar if it was actually allowed

But no im forced to rely on coal and oil based grid power

[dusty egret]

I hate that its 83$ a month like thats insane almost makes me want to say its not worth it even if I know my bill is more than that

[native path]

hi tech chat 1

[drowsy isle]

Bought a tp link archer router and speeds have definitely improved pretty sweet

however latency has gotten worse

[native path]

ping going up is expected?

[native path]

i see not

[grizzled frost]

ping is going to naturally vary some

[native path]

+1

[grizzled frost]

what exact speed test server you connects to matters a lot, and isn't always the same

[drowsy isle]

Even on frontier it is higher but I also did that other speed at a different time of day

also for wifi speed I never had more than a gig on ethernet

I hit over a gigabit on wifi

with the stock router wireless was faster than wired and I suspected it was due to the ports

and after getting a new router speeds have improved for wired

[grizzled frost]

1g on wired?

[drowsy isle]

yes

[timid creek]

Hi I'm new to this discord server

I wanted help regarding my cpu and gpu stuff . . . Is there anyone who knows a lot about this stuff ?

[dusty egret]

isn't gig over wifi quite easy nowdays

[drowsy isle]

Latency was worse on wireless for sure, however wired was slower download and upload wise.

[alpine blaze]

rookie numbers 😉

[drowsy isle]

What I was saying was my wifi connection was faster than my wired connection on my old router

[dusty egret]

I cant read lol. I totally read that backwards

[drowsy isle]

Unfortunately if I wanted faster it'd be $250 a month

[dusty egret]

my old router the lan ports were 10/100 it sucked

[alpine blaze]

oof that's rough. I pay 109 for 7 gig

[timid creek]

Anyone ?

[dusty egret]

300/300mb for 70$ I hate rural Internet

[sharp ivy]

Most people who frequent this server know a decent bit

[drowsy isle]

In Europe or Asia?

[alpine blaze]

good ol usa

[dusty egret]

what state

[alpine blaze]

Texas

[drowsy isle]

I'm also in texas and don't even have that option

Dallas is just left behind

[alpine blaze]

I'm in Houston

They also give you 2 eero maxes as well

[drowsy isle]

The hq for at&t is here too lmao

[dusty egret]

that makes sense then doesnt Equinux have a massive DC in houston

[drowsy isle]

well I'm moving from spectrum to at&t

$70 bill down to $40 is nice

[alpine blaze]

oh yeah, get away from cable asap

[drowsy isle]

spectrum is fiber

[alpine blaze]

spectrum, cox, comcast, terrible

[alpine blaze]

oh they finally moved to fiber

[drowsy isle]

yeah I think they just swapped like over a year ago

but they do use a coax cable for fiber

[alpine blaze]

then it's not fiber

[drowsy isle]

would not be possible to hit these speeds on cable

[alpine blaze]

it's the same crap comcast is pulling it's "fiber powered"

[dusty egret]

Looked it up, Yes Equinix has a Houston Data Center but the one I was thinking about is in Dallas

[alpine blaze]

if you have a docsis modem, it's not fiber

[timid creek]

Okayy so I have a Hp Z420 workstation with xeon 8 Core processor, 32 gb ram and a rtx 3060 the 2 fan one
I upgraded it from a Nvidia Quadro k 2200
But I don't see much difference in the fps I used a clean install for my drivers and have my hdmi cables to the gpu
But when I play any game it shows me like Cpu usage 30% but gpu usage 1 to 2 %
What should I do

[formal sonnet]

Incorrect. DOCSIS 4.0 supports up to 10gbit down and 6gbit up, but only if your ISP's plant supports it too. Real world, most cable ISPs cap out around 1-1.5gbit on DOCSIS. But it is possible to achieve faster speeds.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS#Comparison

[dusty egret]

what xeon

[drowsy isle]

Well it's not fiber then but pretty much getting the same speed I'd get on a fiber 1 gig plan anyways

[alpine blaze]

the latency is the big difference on coax vs fiber

[timid creek]

It's like a server processor

[alpine blaze]

which one specifically

[drowsy isle]

well not gonna have to worry anymore since I'll be with at&t

[dusty egret]

@timid creek, Ok I dont think going from a Quadro to a 3060 will help much, being on an old V1/V2 Xeon from 2014 or older the CPU might not be able to handle the speed of GPU bottlenecking it to hell. Not even to mention the fact your on a worstation with ddr3.

for smaller indie games it might be ok but for any AAA Game I think your being held back by the rest of your hardware

[drowsy isle]

only used spectrum because they weren't over priced as shit in my old area

at&t was charging $145 for 1 gig

while spectrum was $70 for 1 gig

Now it's $40 for 1 gig from at&t and still $70 for 1 gig from spectrum

[alpine blaze]

ah yeah, Att uses true fiber most of the time

[timid creek]

But it's not even going to the point of bottleneck
It's using just 20 to 30 % of cpu and just 1 to 2% of gpu . . . Like it's not even getting used

[native path]

this actually made me open up my tplink app for the first time in a few months and i realised the mesh node in my room was down

[timid creek]

I'm playing just valorant and Fortnite on performance mode .

[alpine blaze]

rip

[native path]

got it fixed now 🔥

[timid creek]

It's still dropping fps and not using my gpu T_T

[drowsy isle]

seems like upfront cost in my old location went down

still gonna go up to $250

[dusty egret]

Valorant is a very CPU based game

[alpine blaze]

yeah, this is a cpu bottleneck.

[dusty egret]

And so is Fortnite

[drowsy isle]

damn $84 a month 5 gig with the wireless plan

[native path]

My phone

[drowsy isle]

well damn can't even take advantage

[dusty egret]

I Pay that for 300/300 I'm jealous

[left trellis]

6000 36 44 44 96 kit can do 6600 36 42 40 40 :D

[native path]

just you wait till i get my 10g nic working

you're lucky aliexpress shipped a faulty x540

[alpine blaze]

this is internet, not local

[native path]

same

[dusty egret]

@timid creek But the actual model of your Cpu would be nice to know as there is like 6 different options that fit 8 core xeon for that platform

[alpine blaze]

idk if it's the server I'm connecting to, but my desktop won't do over 5 gig

[dusty egret]

could it be a 5gb enthernet port restricting speed

[topaz shale]

was about to say that lol

[native path]

its $50/m for 10g internet in singapore

[topaz shale]

singapore on some crazy networking

[alpine blaze]

marvell 10 gig

[timid creek]

Okay then what do you prefer what should I do

[native path]

the largest ISP's minimum plan has 3gbps and includes a BE11000

[timid creek]

Okay . . But shouldn't it go till 80 to 100% cpu usage for a bottleneck?

[native path]

$30/m

[agile topaz]

Not necessarily, you can have a cpu bottleneck even at relatively low usage since a game isn't going to use every core

[dusty egret]

open task manager and tell me the name of your cpu.

Open task manager -> click on Performence and then itll say the name of your cpu.

also are you on an HDD or Sata SSD

[fickle ivy]

Why does my camera do this

[agile topaz]

It definitely could be RAM bottlenecking you, but you would have to see your ram capacity as well

[dusty egret]

32gb 1600mhz ddr3 Ecc

[agile topaz]

I was gonna say maybe not but thats 1600mhz ddr3

Depends on the game though

[timid creek]

Ok how about this ?

[agile topaz]

The capacity is not the issue here, its definitely the speed

[timid creek]

And I have a hdd for main and sdd for extra storage

[drowsy isle]

Well I can't even get the 5 gig plan since I'm not at the address so I'm also upset

[agile topaz]

Yeah thats a 3060 and an ancient cpu, its definitely either a bottleneck or the ram just isnt keeping up with the cpu (less likely)

[native path]

id say its more cpu than ram

[drowsy isle]

5 gig for $84 a month would have been amazing to have

[timid creek]

But i installed my games in the sdd

[timid creek]

Ohhh so it's nothing related to any internal issue ?

[dusty egret]

probably not I think your hardware is just getting old and showing its age, the 3060 should be fine for several more years though

[agile topaz]

Its a 2012 cpu and 2020 gpu, that CPU was probably useable with the GTX 680

The 3060 is like 320% of what you would expect to use that cpu for just to put that into perspective

[native path]

its a workstation from the early 2010s with a modern gpu

[scarlet ridge]

any recommendations for PSU 1000w?

[timid creek]

If I upgrade my cpu what would I need ? As in the mother board . . Processor and ram

[agile topaz]

Right and thats the crazier thing, it wasnt even a gaming chip iirc

[dusty egret]

minimum jump to ddr4, right now intel isnt a bad idea for ddr4. Especially since am4 x3d cpu's skyrocketed in price

[agile topaz]

You'll want a DDR4 rig at least, 16-32GB 3200-3600mhz, maybe a coffee lake intel cpu

[cyan wing]

can someone help me fix my computer

[agile topaz]

The 3060 isn't difficult to run without a bottleneck nowadays at least, its just that your current build is maybe set to run Crysis 1 pretty well

[grizzled frost]

Mayhaps

[cyan wing]

can you

[grizzled frost]

Mayhaps

[timid creek]

I played horizon zero dawn on it . . . Worked pretty good and Cod MW remastered

[cyan wing]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1487258238754885722 look

[agile topaz]

Thats pretty impressive, minimum for both of those is generations beyond the 2680

[dusty egret]

If asrocks H610M COMBO, was possible to find I'd honestly suggest going that route with 12th gen Intel. due to ddr4/5 support

[timid creek]

Ikr so why are games like Fortnite don't run as smooth 😭

[agile topaz]

Well fortnite is cpu bound even with modern cpus

[native path]

the games you mentioned rely a lot more on your 3060

[agile topaz]

^ Especially that bit

[native path]

games like fortnite and valorant running on workstation cpus from the early 2012s would not be happy with you

shit fortnite was even yelling at me with a 5600

[agile topaz]

Yeah, Im surprised they even support that architecture and let you open the game to begin with

[native path]

good thing valorant can run on potatoes

[native path]

if you want to upgrade - i'd +1 this

[agile topaz]

What kind of power supply are you running anyways?

[dusty egret]

makes me want to turn on one of my old dell servers from that era and run Cinebench

[agile topaz]

Since that build is from 2012 I couldnt expect more than like 550w tops

[timid creek]

600 w

[cyan wing]

bruhhh what is wrong with my pc

[agile topaz]

Right ballpark I guess, I think that should be enough assuming they use the same cables?

[agile topaz]

That is something we'd want to know before helping 😂

[cyan wing]

broo

cant tell u if i dont know

[agile topaz]

Do you know the symptoms?

[cyan wing]

it freezes randomly

and i cant use it again unless I hold the power button to turn it off and restart it

[agile topaz]

Id maybe keep something like hwinfo open, see if your cpu is being overloaded

Oh thats interesting

[timid creek]

Ok so I need to upgrade . . . Ok thanks guys that's a lot of help . . . Byeee 🫡 have a nice day

[cyan wing]

like my mouse freezes and my entire computer becomes unresponsive

[agile topaz]

Go to command prompt as admin and try using an sfc /scannow just in case

Small chance it gets fixed just like that but it couldnt hurt

[cyan wing]

pretty sure ive ran that already

[agile topaz]

If it just happens while you're idle I cant imagine it isn't cpu or file error based

[dusty egret]

Screw it im goint to do it, but within a vm

[agile topaz]

Run event viewer

Just called event viewer apparently

[cyan wing]

what do i look for

[agile topaz]

Errors or criticals

[agile topaz]

Yeah, Id read through the criticals first

[cyan wing]

they all say kernel-power

[native path]

psu!

[cyan wing]

I think that's from having to force restart my pc tho

[native path]

scroll through application and system logs

see if there's any other critical stuff in there

[cyan wing]

and look for what

[agile topaz]

Chances are thats what it is

Just see if there's anything in particular that reads like a pc freezing

[native path]

anything critical or anything that says error

most likely critical tho

[cyan wing]

they say security spp

and universal print

and it says

[cyan wing]

in system theres an error for service control manager

[vagrant plank]

I'm having a problem with AirVpn (Eddie Client) and qBittorrent, I have Tools -> Options -> Connection set to a airvpn remote port and then Tools -> Options -> Advanced Network Interface set to Eddie, but test torrents get stuck on downloading metadata 0.00%, anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[agile topaz]

Its most likely a software error causing things to freeze, service control manager implies its drivers, security spp implies its likely certain files
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

It could be some kind of TPM conflict, but enter those in admin cmd prompt to see if you can repair the windows image to any extent

[hexed sage]

[dusty egret]

I always forget how long it takes to spin up a windows vm on an old ddr3 machine lol. and all of this just so I can tortue test the damn thing

https://tenor.com/view/who-is-that-who-is-he-simpsons-bort-gif-18284885885379198963

[cyan wing]

what does that do

[agile topaz]

TPM is basically just hardware based encryption and windows 11 hates when you dont have it set to belong to them and them alone, and those commands scan your system files for damage or corruption and/or attempt to fix them if any is found

[native path]

Marathon’s a good game

[hexed sage]

Nah

[cyan wing]

its stuck at 62.3%

[hexed sage]

I prefer my game horsey

Great game

[agile topaz]

It probably found something then

Did you play with any windows 'optimizers'?

[cyan wing]

i don’t think so

[agile topaz]

Could very well be something got corrupted on a crash

Or a force shutdown

[cyan wing]

Bro its just stuck at 62.3

[agile topaz]

It tends to look like it crashed for a long time

Eventually it will pass that percentage

Unless the computer is frozen, that is

[cyan wing]

it’s not lol

yet 👀

[agile topaz]

If dism doesnt fix anything after you run restorehealth, Id make sure that you dont have a failing component, and if thats not the case, you might wanna find someone who knows better about setting TPM, and if even that doesnt work, a Windows reinstall is probably the next best thing

It would probably be ram or the cpu if your entire computer is freezing

[dusty egret]

could it be worth booting into safe mode and hitting repair windows?

[agile topaz]

Wait yeah do this too

[cyan wing]

its not the ram

[agile topaz]

Is there any reason you know?

[cyan wing]

I tested every stick and the outcome was the same with every single one

which I mean every stick could be fault but that sounds very unlikely

[agile topaz]

Yeah thats a good way to be sure

Ideally it isn't both sticks

[shrewd ridge]

Its the darkflash dy470

[cyan wing]

I tested 4 lmao

[agile topaz]

Could possibly be the cpu has an unstable overclock if you played with that

[cyan wing]

never touched the overclocking

[agile topaz]

What are you, some kind of billionaire

[cyan wing]

bought em before the ai bubble grew to such a size

[shrewd ridge]

What cpu do u guys have

[agile topaz]

7600x

[cyan wing]

5600g

[shrewd ridge]

I have 3600

[cyan wing]

not bad

good to pair with a mid tier gpu

[agile topaz]

Definitely not, had a 2600 up until last year

[shrewd ridge]

Rage bait

[cyan wing]

what’s rage bait

[agile topaz]

I mean 3060 or so yeah

[grizzled frost]

google

3060 is a low tier gpu

[cyan wing]

great for entry level gaming

[agile topaz]

It is, but I had been used to an RX580

[ivory mountain]

3060 is the minimum now

[agile topaz]

3060 is high tier compared to one of those

[cyan wing]

3060 is low tier now yeah

luckily that makes it cheap 😊

still good to run almost anything on high graphics tho

aslong as devs optimize properly 😒

[shrewd ridge]

Should i get 9600 or 14400

[agile topaz]

Ehhhhhhh

[native path]

[cyan wing]

I mean they should

Kinda stupid that some cant

😭

but you have no reason to get anything under like a 3080 rn so

if you’re looking for mid tier preformance

Why does my bios have the same resolution as a 2000’s wii game

[grizzled frost]

cause you're still using bios in the big ol 2026

[agile topaz]

To be fair I think bios is used pretty interchangeably with uefi

[cyan wing]

the hell am I supposed to use

[grizzled frost]

UEFI

[cyan wing]

why

[agile topaz]

Because uefi is what computers use now

If you've gone into your 'bios', what youre actually looking at is uefi

At least with 90% of post 2011 computers or so

[dusty egret]

I absolutley love windows file transfer /s

[agile topaz]

Memory literally giving it 101%

[dusty egret]

eh the server still has 100gb of headroom but even then

[agile topaz]

Also 69gb (nice)

[native path]

haha 69

i love how it's just called hell

[agile topaz]

That especially

Also what the hell kind of process only uses 10% of the cpu but demands upwards of 70gb of ram

[dusty egret]

It's only job is to be a vm I can torture, but now im confused because windows says its using 2.3GB of memory wtf proxmox

[agile topaz]

Maybe thats page file

[dusty egret]

its just a reporting issue on the windows side not talking to proxmox today i learned

Qemu-guest-agent. how to tell i use linux for all my vms

[native path]

i only use ubuntu servers or lxc containers im a big noob

aside from that 1 debian server i have

[dusty egret]

I started with desktop Ubuntu LTS and have slowly started to transition to Ubuntu Server for all my vms

[cyan wing]

yo help

my screen is flashing black now

[mortal plume]

Cheers

[lusty thorn]

is i7 4790 notorious for being really hot?

[dusty egret]

Passmark test for a Windows vm in proxmox running on IvyBridge lol

[real quiver]

Apparently Samsung added satellite messaging support on the s26u

Maybe the entire s26 lineup

[stray portal]

Who will even use that

Everyone uses whatsapp

[sinful cobalt]

peak ragebaiter

[stray portal]

How is it ragebait

The usa isnt the entire world, expand your knowledge beyond your country

But from what i know also a lot of americans use whatsapp

[limpid ivy]

My friend group did that to communicate to two international friends.

It's gone now after someone decided to leak the "great sayings" lol.

[sinful cobalt]

I cant hear you down there can you speak louder

[limpid ivy]

👀 also you hear about mclaren being on their third battery already

[limber jacinth]

guys is a 9070xt nitro + good or a pulse

heard about the cable burning on the nitro

[real quiver]

Whatsapp still requires cellular service last I checked

[sinful cobalt]

@stray portal stay mad with your invalid opinions and ur inability to use google

[stray portal]

What

[sinful cobalt]

the regulations are pretty shit yeah

[stray portal]

Im so smart i was right

[sinful cobalt]

you cant read

[stray portal]

What is this slop

Opinion invalid

[sinful cobalt]

hows the weather down there

yo speakup i still cant here you

[stray portal]

You must be so angry

Angry boy

[native path]

slop

[native path]

search assist

[limpid ivy]

It really be that way. Other hand I remember why I hate the Monaco track

[native path]

slop assist probably

[stray portal]

But its right, it didnt generate by itself it got info from sources

[sinful cobalt]

perez trick

[native path]

just found it funny you said "What is this slop" after sending ai as ur source

[stray portal]

He said its invalid but its real, a third of usa people use whatsapp, he said i was wrong as if those people didnt exist, if we were to say a third of the us is DEAD i dont think he would say those arent a lot

[stray portal]

He said i cant use google so i show that google is on my side (the right side)

[sinful cobalt]

mf on some “whatsapp is the most popular” when satellite is the most effective for isolated areas and EMERGENCIES LMAOOOO

a simple google search and reading what it actually does would help you alot yk

[limpid ivy]

FP2 I did manage to get it so I guess for now I brake early and pray I don't lock up.

[stray portal]

No it wouldnt

[sinful cobalt]

slop brained white name

[native path]

i think you're just having problems because nobody answered your question

[stray portal]

Because you can already call 911 without signal

[native path]

people will use it when they don't have cellular service and have no internet

[native path]

why wont they whatsapp 911

[sinful cobalt]

average TC1 individual

[native path]

whatsapp is used by 3 billion people bro surely u whatsapp 911

[stray portal]

You can

[native path]

we should delete the satellite

[sinful cobalt]

we’re in a secluded area with no mobile service surely we use whatsapp

https://tenor.com/view/bloodcartier-gif-25860033

[stray portal]

In areas without service, your main priority should be getting help

So calling 911

[native path]

what if im working in an area without service

[sinful cobalt]

what if we’re in a remote village

[native path]

um get help?

[stray portal]

Even remote villages get signal

[native path]

you wanna test this theory out?

[stray portal]

Ive already tested it before

[native path]

which remote village did you test this in

[sinful cobalt]

one that is 3km from the city

[native path]

heres ur slop answer

[sinful cobalt]

tc1 mfs be shitting anything outta their ass and not read what the main point is 🤡

[native path]

bet hes an arch user

[fallow yacht]

sup nerds what did i just come back to

[sinful cobalt]

“b-b-but 5090 eats too much power and I need to get a new PSU! its better if I get a 5050!”

I was gonna buy a fully specced out GT3RS but I saw gas prices so I decided to get an EV

[tired bear]

And they have internet... Sure

[stray portal]

A lot of them

[native path]

did you know sms is obsolete now

and if you have no signal you should probably call 911

[fallow yacht]

yes and our fucking telecommunications department decided to force isps to maintain it because they can filter scam messages

RCS doesn't even need those LMAO

[tired bear]

Go and buy satellite phone

[native path]

um no i have whatsapp

[sinful cobalt]

guys im in the middle of bumfuck with no coverage nowhere lets use whatsapp to message our family and friends

[stray portal]

I dont know if you have actually went anywhere in your life but in europe even the most mountainous villages have signal

[native path]

try a desert in africa

[stray portal]

Theres no people in a desert

[native path]

ah yes

[tired bear]

Then text some friends "please call 911 for me"

[glossy vine]

in the middle of bumfuck lemme shop elons starlink rq 😂

[stray portal]

If you go into the middle of the desert you dont deserve signal

[fallow yacht]

@native path most scam messages run through IMSI catchers here which uses SMS so i don't understand why the fuck did they recommend us to not use RCS when it's more safer compared to SMS that's there since the creation of text messages.

[sinful cobalt]

sry i meant to put “bumfuck nowhere”

[native path]

i see i shouldn't have used the term sms

[void aurora]

Hey guys, I'm looking to upgrade to a phone,I dont want to spend a lot (over $300) as I frankly dont use it much, I just require basic work to be done and want a good camera. I'm currently on a samsung note 8, what would be good recs?

[fallow yacht]

then what

[sinful cobalt]

any budget phone will get the job done

[native path]

satellite messaging

i think?

[fallow yacht]

oh

yeah we don't have those here

[native path]

basically everything outside of whatsapp

[fallow yacht]

we do have direct to cell coming soon

[stray portal]

If you want to stay on samsung look into the A series theyre pretty good camera wise

[void aurora]

I mean theres a lot to choose from, so what would be good? Nothing 3a lite? S22?

[glossy vine]

I know what you meant i would’ve said it the same way it’s better that way 🤣

[void aurora]

I see

[regal heron]

chat i found out my pc has an 1.4 hdmi port so im limited to 1080p 60hz if i buy a second monitor😔

[native path]

samsung's s26u will allegedly get support for it, however because everyone uses whatsapp, they shouldnt bother making it

[glossy vine]

what kinda gpu you got if you got one

[sinful cobalt]

hey guys im in the everglade forests looking for that 30 ft anaconda and I have no coverage, leme use whatsapp to let my guys know that I need my items 😂

[stray portal]

Americans be using anything except whatsapp, and dumb iPhone users think we dont havr video calls

[regal heron]

i have no gpu bro😭 igpu on an all-in-one hp pc

ts sucks

[glossy vine]

awh shit that does suck 😭

[native path]

😭 im not in america

[sinful cobalt]

i missed the part where im in america

[stray portal]

Well then again almost every single corner of europe has cell service

[native path]

same in singapore

however just because there's cell service doesn't mean you can't have satellite messaging

[stray portal]

🤔

[native path]

what if you don't have data, no wifi, you're on a boat, you're in a different country

[regal heron]

im going to buy a 1080p 144hz monitor for a second monitor to this pc and xbox one s and xbox 360 gaming but the only place where i can use more hz is the xbox one s since it supports 120hz 1080p but thats all

am limited by my tech

[stray portal]

Well if youre that lost then would satelites even reach you

[sinful cobalt]

its fine- He’s going to use WhatsApp!

[native path]

??? if i'm fishing in the ocean i'm considered lost?

[stray portal]

And then again would a satelite reach you out on the sea

[sinful cobalt]

its okay bro this the same guy on some “my 5700x gets 100s of FPS in every game on ultra settings”

[native path]

what makes you think the huge satellite in space can't reach me because i'm on a boat?

[stray portal]

Yeah cuz it does what are you talking about? I know what my computer can do because i use it, you are a random stranger online and do not know. Also what does this have to do with anything? If you dont have anything useful to add then maybe shut up

[native path]

holy shit you were spot on

[stray portal]

All he are doing is adding useless comments

[native path]

average tc1 conversation

[glossy vine]

honestly bro i’d be trying to look and see if your gunna be using what your purchasing out of the monitor, the xbox series x can go up to 120fps but you won’t be running it at that at all times its up to you but thats just me man

[sinful cobalt]

oh my god the 5700x peasant can get 400 fps in cyberpunk 2077 path traced 16k! 😮

[stray portal]

It probably could but you would get very poor signal not even reliable

[glossy vine]

i be sitting on 2 75hz rn 😭

[stray portal]

See and then this again i never said this he just says random things

[regal heron]

There is no way im getting an series s, i already have the xbox one s and xbox 360 and just wanted to move them to my room,

[stray portal]

I just said on everything i play i get lots of fps on high/ultra

Thats how i phrased it before you can go look

[native path]

and where would you get very good satellite signal

[regal heron]

The monitor is 120hz native and 144hz overclock

[glossy vine]

sorry i meant the s, i get them mixed up all the time

[stray portal]

Idk but probably it would be a bit better on land but also not that good

But maybe it would be good

[regal heron]

So i'd be using the xbox one s for the 120hz and thats all really

[sinful cobalt]

an IQ lower than room temperature

[regal heron]

Perhaps in the future for a pc if i get myself a new one

But def not any time soon

[native path]

the satellite signal on land with tall buildings would be better compared to the signal in the ocean a completely unobstructed view of the sky

do we want to rethink this or are we standing by the statement

[stray portal]

Think about it

[real quiver]

It did

[native path]

no bro you think about it 😭

[real quiver]

I used it

[native path]

ah it's already out

[stray portal]

On sea it will be less likely for a satelite to be over you

[regal heron]

Also are out there any cheaper monitors that have 2 HDMI slots?

24inch probably is what i would prefer right now

[stray portal]

And for example in europe we already have some of satelite internet and its somewhat good but idk how many of them would reach the sea

[real quiver]

Yeah I was at my friend's house with no service and it asked if I wanted to use a satellite

It's free through Verizon which is cool

[glossy vine]

yeah that’s what i was gunna say it makes sense if your planning on getting one in the future but honestly idk a good handful of people are moving to 1440p now on pc gaming atleast ive found, otherwise than that you can save yourself a few bucks with something just alittle higher than 60fps idrk the price difference with all of it for you but if there a big difference i’d look into it im not shitposting and have hardly done any research for you but that’s just something i’d do 🤷‍♂️

[native path]

wow @stray portal a proper use case for you

[sinful cobalt]

i think its better we stop arguing with an absolute dookiehead who is confidently incorrect

[native path]

read up the slop bud

[real quiver]

It'll definitely be handy for the next time I go out in the backcountry at a national park

[native path]

[stray portal]

I dont get it tho, in my area we sometimes have satelite internet but we just message normally

[stray portal]

O i didnt know this

[real quiver]

How do you message with no internet or cellular connection

[glossy vine]

satellite texting came in clutch for me last year when i was stranded in bumfuck with no service, i didn’t have it my parents did though and i was getting their messages on the small service spikes id get in random ass places i was so surprised 🤣

[native path]

@stray portal look another use case

[regal heron]

I'd have to get myself an entire new pc and im not really planning on doing that at least right now, it costs a ton these days and with the pc i'd also have to get the better monitor since the current pc is an all in one, like a laptop but stationary so pc + better monitor just spending more and more

[stray portal]

Im not an expert in these things so idk how they work

But we do have that

[native path]

@sinful cobalt i got the message through

he's backing off

[real quiver]

I've thought about buying a garmin inreach a few times but this covers most of my concern

[stray portal]

What is this supposed to mean

[regal heron]

I was wondering if there are any workarounds with an 1.4 hdmi to get any more hz but not really

[native path]

you're realising you're wrong 😂

[stray portal]

I was just asking a question and then he started insulting and speaking nonsense

[real quiver]

I've always been worried about getting hurt deep in a national park or something because there's zero cell service for miles

[native path]

uh huh

[stray portal]

Im not wrong tho i just realised some things are different in other areas

[native path]

no you're definitely wrong

[glossy vine]

it honestly wouldn’t be a bad idea to have something like that as a backup just incase the phones do fuckup eventually it’s bound to happen

[stray portal]

On sea i think satelite is a good choice but these other fellas gave examples for on land situations and i was right in those regards

[glossy vine]

i was out treeplanting when i needed it most so that might give some insight

[native path]

nope still wrong but it's ok you're getting there

[real quiver]

I kind of want to but they're expensive

[native path]

slowly but surely

[real quiver]

And I don't feel like I'm out enough to justify it

[real quiver]

No we both used satellite

[glossy vine]

in the same boat bro, got a new rig sitting here without a gpu, using an IGPU aswell while i wait for the gpu🤥

[regal heron]

Worst part is that i cant even get a gpu for this thing

I just straight up gotta get a new entire pc

[lunar wave]

Can someone video call with me cuz i need halp with my argb

[native path]

i don't know if HP caps it - but it might work at 1080p 120hz

[regal heron]

I got an 1.4 hdmi

Its limited to 1080p 60hz

[native path]

yeah hdmi 1.4 has the right bandwith for 120hz

[regal heron]

It does????

[native path]

it's not officially rated because sometimes it doesn't work

but i've used hdmi 1.4 with 120hz before

[regal heron]

From looking everywhere i saw its 60hz

Holy that changes so much

[real quiver]

What does the monitor support

[native path]

take it with a grain of salt, it could work

[glossy vine]

yea that’s the shitty thing about all in ones, some of them are actually good but that only last time of purchase to the time it’s obsolete it can get pretty old pretty quickly no diss obviously anytime i’ve touched an all in one someone’s always said there’s been issues with em too

[native path]

test it with a 120hz capable monitor first, if it doesn't work then you can return it

[glossy vine]

i mean it’s worth a test what’s the worst that can happen, knowing hp though he’s gunna have a fight😬

[native path]

yeah hp might cap it

[regal heron]

My current pc has only an 1.4 hdmi out port, the monitor im planning on getting has 2.0+ hdmi 1080p 120hz native 144hz overclock

[native path]

i don't know if you know anything about networking but it's similar to how a cable rated for 1000Mbps can sometimes go up to 2.5Gbps depending on the length

[regal heron]

So even if my pc has a 1.4 hdmi port it could be possibile for 120hz?

[real quiver]

I would not expect it to be the most reliable but I also have terrible luck with display cables

[regal heron]

@native path tho can i just select it through normal settings on my pc or do i have to create custom settings

Cuz i doubt HP is gonna just let me select 120hz honestly

And honestly i have no idea how to make custom settings never tried

[native path]

i dont think you need to do anything custom

[south arrow]

Up at 1:45am hurts to breath with pain in my right lung i think babys also up and fussy loads of joys. existence is painn

[regal heron]

So through windows it would just let me select 120hz?

[glossy vine]

nah

can’t see it allowing that

[regal heron]

Same

[native path]

i have in the past with hdmi 1.4

take note it was a huawei laptop

[glossy vine]

i’ve never actually seen windows allow you to choose a higher refresh rate than your monitors native refresh 🤌🤌😭

[native path]

no on a different monitor

plug new monitor into the all in one

[glossy vine]

OH i get you now myb

i can see that than

i’m blind and i just woke up 🫡🫡

[steady goblet]

i think my hard drive is Dead dead Cuz my pc cant see it and a portable port doesn't pick it up either

[native path]

was it working before?

[steady goblet]

yea in the morning

[south arrow]

Curious

[native path]

is it showing up in disk management?

[steady goblet]

no its not visable anymore Bios, disk managment i even downloaded crystal disk info and even that dint see it

[south arrow]

Id boot down carefully inspect the sata connection or the nvme pins and be sure where its seated or plugged in is also not damaged in any visible way then firmly reseat/plug in

Ought to do it

[steady goblet]

wouln't putting it into a portable Drive chasie do the same thing?

[south arrow]

Should* thats the curious part

[steady goblet]

when i booted my pc up after i had removed it got to the log in screen faster then the pause it did with it in
