[pure trellis]

at What I am looking at?

[winter lantern]

Only issue i ever had was my psu killinh itself

Name one thing in this image challenge

[craggy cove]

imagine spending 2500$ on this

[pure trellis]

That's not an issue, it's a problem

[craggy cove]

some people have way too much money

[rustic lynx]

Okay so why is the fucking exhaust fan plugged into the CPU OPT? Excuse me? Was a drunk when doing this pc 2 hours ago

[craggy cove]

ouch

[pure trellis]

I still don't know what that is

[winter lantern]

It was a bright sunny day too 😔

Like atleast make sense

[pure trellis]

Banana with duck tape sold for 11 million,come on, people

[deep musk]

Get an open air case they are really useful

[winter lantern]

I don't plan on upgrading unless I magically run into a gpu which happened both times

[rustic lynx]

Mystery of today. Why was the fan plugged into CPU OPT...

I was fucking high or what

[snow mauve]

so apparently i've been missing the boat and not really been doing anytihng on canvas

AI literally on the spot real time generating UI based off my feedback its great

[deep musk]

All that water

[winter lantern]

I lowkey accidentally ripped off the pcie lock in heard ill be fine

[deep musk]

Yeah, if only the lock is gone without damaging anything else

[tulip sparrow]

CACKLES Go right aheada nd rub that salt all you want into the wound https://www.destructoid.com/no-mans-sky-gets-literal-pokemon-mode-in-xeno-arena-update/

[craggy cove]

those are replacable

[craggy cove]

im all in on star citizen smh

[snow mauve]

i did this once too it'll be fine lol

[iron glen]

hi https

[sharp ivy]

I still needa replace my motherboard's bad caps

but I've used my pc a lot more and it runs completely fine so

[swift thorn]

i feel like I'm blind

[iron glen]

WHAT

[swift thorn]

which caps?

[swift thorn]

oh
oh god please don't use that

[sharp ivy]

power delivery :3

[swift thorn]

he's not secure you can't trust him

[sharp ivy]

it's ok my cpu only draws 92W

hehe

[swift thorn]

that's beyond the point
that cap is semi blown and they do all sorts of bs, including blowing up for no apparent reason whatsoever

[sharp ivy]

oh yes absolutely

I defs should fix it

but I keep forgetting

[swift thorn]

fix it now or ASAP before you potentially forget permanently

[iron glen]

RIP bozo
#packwatch

[sharp ivy]

the more immediate issue is probably my pc sometimes refusing to load windows

it seems to have gotten worse

it'll go onto the windows loading screen

[swift thorn]

oh my god
vaio

[sharp ivy]

I have 2 lol

this is my PCV-1122

[swift thorn]

now that's a name i haven't geard in a long long time

[sharp ivy]

and then I have an RC-310G

it's a good computer

[swift thorn]

wow, it still works, that was my first ever computer

[sharp ivy]

doesn't have any thermal issues

[sharp ivy]

epicc

[sharp ivy]

side panel is off in this vid cause I was fixing a ram issue

also I have a different right side monitor now

a better one

[swift thorn]

i remember getting it home and being all excited and when I turned it on for the first time, mine had that light in the front that you have on the vaio logo on the front and I literally was jumping up and down saying "LOOK THERE'S A LIGHT THE PC HAS A LIGHT HOW COOL IS THAT"

[sharp ivy]

🙂

that's super cool

[snow mauve]

oh man you giving me ptsd with the vaios

i was a dell repair tech in the dc area and sometimes would get the sony laptops i hated them

[sharp ivy]

ough

at least they're older ones

my MSI CR600 laptop is fantastic to work on

3 screws and then you can easily open the back cover

get access to the (socketed!) cpu, RAM, SSD/HDD, gpu, fan, motherboard, wifi card etc

[gritty panther]

my ASUS laptop when I upgraded SSD and RAM.

$230 4TB WD BLACK SN850X is just a distant memory in 2026

[sharp ivy]

oooh dual fan

[gritty panther]

it has vapor chamber cooling. not bad at all

[sharp ivy]

My MSI's SSD randomly died a bit over a month ago and I still haven't bought a replacement yet

[gritty panther]

it's a 2023 laptop. i see no reason to upgrade.

[sharp ivy]

the SSD I paid like $20 for is now much more expensive

[gritty panther]

I sat on it last year but it was fine. hopefully I dont break it anytime soon

😆

it marked up the screen a little but very minor (screen to keyboard squish)

[sharp ivy]

ooop

[snow mauve]

lol must be that time, i hear a neighbors lawn mower...

[deep musk]

Which time?

[sharp ivy]

I finally got some good photos of my Dell Optiplex 3020 SFF

[deep musk]

Yoooo siiiick what’s that gpu? (I collect gpu for fun and everything time I see one that looks interesting im curious)

[sharp ivy]

MSI GT 730 2gb

[sharp ivy]

thx 🙂

[deep musk]

Woah nicey, my closest cards are 650 ti 2gb and 710 (and 460 oc but shhhh, that’s too old to compare)

[deep musk]

I think I have the same cpu cooler in my server

[sharp ivy]

Very cool

460 OC 🔥

is the 460 an EVGA?

[sharp ivy]

it has taken a LOT of overclocking

to the point where I've broken the drivers twice

also the fan is wobble

sometimes

[sharp ivy]

Thermalright Assasin X 120 SE

[deep musk]

Unfortunately no, it’s a gigabyte, the 650 ti 2gb is an evga tho

[sharp ivy]

still super cool

is it a Windforce card?

[deep musk]

Almost, mine is the 90 variant

[deep musk]

I don’t think so, let me check

[sharp ivy]

ah ok

windforce might not have even been around when the 460 came out

[deep musk]

It’s this one exactly

[deep musk]

Just checked there seems to be some 460 wind force

[sharp ivy]

OOOOH yesss

I love that cooler design

[deep musk]

Yeshshshsh with the angles fans too

It looks great

[deep musk]

(In order 1080 from pny, 1030 for basic display output/debuging, 980 fe and a sata controller)

[deep musk]

In a really cool thermaltake armor lcs case @sharp ivy

[sharp ivy]

Woahhh

mega cool

[deep musk]

Yehshshshshhs

[sharp ivy]

I guess it's a game server?

judging by the beast of a graphics config

[north hill]

is the WDC PC SN520 SDAPNUW-256G-1006 a good NVMe M.2 SSD when paired with the WD_BLACK SN850X?

[deep musk]

I got it for 20 CAD on marketplace (came with a 750 semi modular psu and an outdated athlon 64 x2 system and the 650 ti)

[sharp ivy]

Oooh nice

[deep musk]

Yes, nas and vms (with game servers in the VMs)

[sharp ivy]

I got this case for $10CAD off marketplace

[deep musk]

And I needed GPUs for the VMs cause I didn’t want to have to use headless VMs

[deep musk]

Siiiiiiick

[snow mauve]

more should have said 'that time of the year' lol stuff starting to warm up

[deep musk]

Ohhh okiii, yeah was confuzled

[north hill]

@rigid fjord my GOAT, does this sound good for a month or two?

these are the specs and status of it

[rustic lynx]

The aio pump goes to? SYS FAN PUMP?

[stray holly]

Yep

[rustic lynx]

I plugged my fan there and I didn't realise so I had to plug my pump into the CPU fan lol

[stray holly]

Set pump to max in bios

[rustic lynx]

I'll swap it

Fan to sys fan pump to Sys fan pump

[true adder]

Holy openclaw is crazy

[snow mauve]

honestly a big reason for those header names has to do with how it reports in bios or other fan management software,

[rigid fjord]

it'll be fine for a couple of months from what i can see there

[snow mauve]

you dont HAVE to put your cpu aio in sysfan but it could impact how its managed

[ivory mountain]

bros taking a piss

[stray holly]

This is a kitten

This is the mom

[true adder]

Okay nvm ran out of usage

[iron glen]

You're one to talk
Oldie Mcoldstein

What are the danish doing in there

[exotic cape]

[stray portal]

Why is samsung discontinuing samsung messages

I just found out that it existed and im already angry

[exotic cape]

Because not enough people use it to maintain it.

And most people use either Google messages or a third party service.

[stray portal]

🤔

It makes sense why they dont have it in european markets then

Most people here use whatsapp not even the google messages so whats the point in having samsung messages

[rigid fjord]

depends on mobo, some treat a specific sys_fan/cha_fan to double up for aio pump/ custom loop pump instead

[formal sonnet]

What's the point in having Samsung Messages? Same as having Apple iMessage: vendor lock-in disguised as specialized features. (In fact, there was next to no reason for any company to develop their own custom SMS replacement when RCS has been around since 2008.)

[snow mauve]

yea sorry i should clarify, if you have a lot of spare headers others may work, but you may not get rgb, or your bios will report wrong location, etc. i think my 360mm is on "pump"

z790

[exotic cape]

Since I'm using a twin sim i cant activate RCS.
Super annoying.

[empty quartz]

My dog committed a war crime on my sense of smell

[mint trout]

Did you pay the cheese tax?

[fringe prairie]

isnt samsung messages just sms/rcs?

[rustic lynx]

Rate this spermalpaste after 5 years

Should've repasted it sooner

[serene elk]

Any recommendations?

[formal sonnet]

No idea. Probably. With special Samsung bits sprinkled on top.

[deep musk]

so like imessage, but less shit?

[rigid fjord]

guess what i learnt today dude

and this feels insanely stupid but is an actual fix

on a samsung galaxy s22/s22+/s22 ultra, you can fix it by massaging the phone

[sharp ivy]

turn your lights on to reduce eye strain

[deep musk]

yeshshshhshshsh

[azure topaz]

looks fine

[rustic lynx]

60 degrees idle and up to 85 at load

[azure topaz]

that is fine

[deep musk]

fine af

[vital seal]

so i managed to pickup a 1080 founders edition for the ripe price of 70 CAD in this market. i got super lucky. its used but works like a charm i wanna frame it
any ideas on what i should do with it?

[rustic lynx]

No it's kinda not

At least not what I want

I like my 30 at idle and 50 under load rn

[deep musk]

use it?

[rustic lynx]

Buy 3 more 1080s and quad sli

[vital seal]

i already have a 4070

[rustic lynx]

Uhh

[rustic lynx]

Flip it

[deep musk]

in a server?

[rustic lynx]

I doubt

[vital seal]

No the card is too pretty

[rustic lynx]

You do NOT need a 4070 in a server

1060 would be enough

[vital seal]

no not in a server

[rustic lynx]

That's what I thought

[vital seal]

nope 4070 is in my main rig.

[rustic lynx]

I can do 5$

And use your totally new 1080

Jk ofc

[vital seal]

mmmm im thinking 7$ and im in

[rustic lynx]

Shi bro bet

[vital seal]

wait nvm lol

[rustic lynx]

We already got a deal bro 😭

[vital seal]

geez in this economy

[rustic lynx]

Joeypants cool name

[rustic lynx]

Right

[vital seal]

thanks 🙏

[acoustic grotto]

Why does nobody consider random read and write when buying an SSD? I feel like im crazy for being the only one that weighed that when i bought some

[deep musk]

I meant putting it in a server

(The 1080)

[frail sequoia]

Loud ass dvd drive, just trying to rip my gta san andreas ps2 disk smh

[real wasp]

yo chat i bought a 1080 from second hand but it doesnt seem to post no display detected but its on

chat help me

[azure topaz]

nah

[azure topaz]

try a diff slot or something and port on the gpu

if not it’s probably dead in some way

[tepid pine]

Could I ask a question regarding my GPU?

I've run the AMD Adrenaline built in stress test and it always drops to nothing in the middle of it

[azure topaz]

“drops to nothing” what does that part mean

[tepid pine]

is this normal?

[azure topaz]

probably, don’t use the radeon stress test lol

[tepid pine]

well, my PC randomly turned off while under load and then turned on by itself

[azure topaz]

use other stress tests is what i’m saying

[tepid pine]

I got that but still

[azure topaz]

OCCT, 3dmark demo, furmark if you think it’s power supp, etc

[tepid pine]

I got the PSU 2years ago and it's a decent one

also went a bit above what I think my max power draw is for spikes

[azure topaz]

turning off then on under load sounds like power supply

[real wasp]

dont got another slot i have an mATx mobo

would this be a pcie slot problem? cuz my ram def works fine i have igpu

[ivory mountain]

floppa is old as hell man

[tepid pine]

I have a super loud coil whine and it interrupts and goes completely silent for a few milliseconds then back to being loud

[azure topaz]

i’m 19 lol

[azure topaz]

it could be, just test in another computer/board if you can

chances are the card is dead

[tepid pine]

guess I'm too old to fix my PC already

[ivory mountain]

unc

[real wasp]

tried it but my friend has a modular psu and of all things he doesnt have the pcie cable 😭

[azure topaz]

use your power supply bro

[tepid pine]

screen went black for 2 seconds then back on

[azure topaz]

gpu or power supply realistically

[tepid pine]

well, it did this a year ago

but it fixed itself out of nowhere and was fine for a year

now it's back

[azure topaz]

idk could’ve been drivers resetting

if the comp it rt turns fully off it’s probably pay

*psu

[ivory mountain]

floppa what qd oled do i get for my bday, 1440p 240

[tepid pine]

the week the warranty ended

I live in hell

[real wasp]

i am bro and my other mobo was fried so yea

[median warren]

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/34-asus-rog-swift-pg34wcdn-gaming-monitor-oled-3440x1440-360hz-003ms-freesync-premium-pro-hdmi-dp-us

ive been eyeing this up knowing i wont spend that much on a monitor, it is sexy tho

360hz qd oled 😫

[empty quartz]

Tbh, there’s only 1 old display tech that i want to get

[empty quartz]

Rookie numbers, my tv was 240hz more than that

[median warren]

how

what kind of tv is 700hz, what are you saying

[empty quartz]

600hz plasma 😩

[median warren]

oh yeah

[native path]

I’m eyeing a similar one but 27” QHD

[median warren]

i did the math wrong there, my bad

[median warren]

the bigger the monitor, the better the setup looks

im selling my 2nd monitor and going back to 1 monitor gaming gang

[empty quartz]

Plasma tv’s were much higher refresh rate, and even beat crt in pixel response time

[native path]

I have a 3070ti and don’t intend on buying a new gpu for like 5 years

[median warren]

gotta get me one of those

[median warren]

yeah thats fair enough

[empty quartz]

Good luck getting one that isnt burnt in, or is small

[native path]

Here I am sitting with 3 monitors and about to get another 😂😂

[median warren]

my main screen is a 1440p 34 inch 180hz monitor, not oled. And honestly, it feels like i have no space having 2 monitors, i think i like the clean look of just 1 big monitor more

[ivory mountain]

i gotta get off this 6900xt, fsr is so damn bad and the 6900xt is showing its age

[native path]

Granted I intend on giving my old monitor to my brother

[empty quartz]

They also output enough heat to warm a 1000sqft area

[median warren]

naaaah, for me i like the cleaner look, i am rearranging my setup tho tbf

[empty quartz]

Well mine did

[median warren]

do you want my 2nd monitor

[ivory mountain]

whats wrong with msi qd oleds? i see a lot of people saying theyre bad

[median warren]

i dont know anything about them being bad

[native path]

I’d like a big ultrawide but I click full screen too much and I really cba arranging each window individually to make it fit

[native path]

NO

[median warren]

wdym arranging each window

[median warren]

thats okay, ill use my mum's account and put it on fb marketplace

as i dont have fb myself

[empty quartz]

@median warren the thing about plasma’s they get bad image retention within a few minutes, and burn-in within a couple hours, plus they run hot

The 600hz is internal

[native path]

Moving a window to my 2nd screen and just clicking full screen seems way easier than moving it to one side of my big monitor then resizing it

[median warren]

everything has its downsides i suppose

didnt know that tho, learnt something new today

[empty quartz]

Yeah, they are better than crt’s though

[median warren]

it auto snaps tho? wdym

[empty quartz]

Much faster pixel response time though

[native path]

Am I missing something

[median warren]

example

[empty quartz]

That blinking is the 600hz

[native path]

Video doesn’t load gg

[median warren]

how

[median warren]

ive never experienced 600hz in person before, i wish i could

[empty quartz]

This doesnt capture it, i think i was doing 120fps camera

[median warren]

well, just wait maybe

[native path]

Well it loaded but it’s the same screen the whole video

[empty quartz]

@median warren 600hz internal refresh

[median warren]

yeah thats, thats not how its supposed to be

[median warren]

seizure warning, god damn

[empty quartz]

Its not visible to the naked eye

[median warren]

Yeah just on camera

[native path]

Well if it auto snaps I could look more into a huge ultrawide monitor

[median warren]

And a decent internet connection

[empty quartz]

Theres essentially 0 motion blur

[median warren]

Is there usually motion blur on most screens? I don't notice any, Im on 180hz myself

[empty quartz]

Use 240fps slow motion on your phone, and you’ll see it

[median warren]

Just try and see if force shutting down discord works

Cause the video, I think will convince you, the auto snap is really convenient

[median warren]

I will get myself a high refresh rate oled one of these days, it won't compare to the plasma TV but it'll be better

I think the most I'd spend on a monitor is £700

That's enough for a qd oled 240hz

But I guess prices are coming down

[native path]

Nah it’s cooked, tried downloading it and watching locally but no dice

[median warren]

🐟

You can probably find a YouTube video on it tbh

[native path]

Perhaps

Or maybe when I’m home 😂

[median warren]

That's also a good idea yeah lmao

[wet ember]

If streaming my desktop screen to my MacBook to use Windows-only software in class doesn't work, then I'm not sure what Windows laptop I want

I've tried using a VM but it's so damn slow with the software

[median warren]

Windows laptop and dual boot macos and windows lmao

[wet ember]

Why?

[median warren]

So when you need to use your windows only software you've got windows and when you need Mac only software you've got macos

Although I think I've just realised what you said mb

You could also just have 2 laptops

[grizzled frost]

why would you use macos on an x86 laptop

it's like running a mac, but with none of the benefits

[frail sequoia]

Hackintosh for the shits n giggles probs

[wet ember]

I don't have Mac only software to run. Just Windows only software for my auditing class

[median warren]

Oh right

Yeah then windows laptop it is, I personally have a Zenbook duo, I find them quite useful

[wet ember]

I'll try screen mirroring from my desktop PC first

[frail sequoia]

I have a thinkpad with a r5 5500u and 16gb ram and 2 nvme ssd

[rose stream]

How about a full DAW setup, with tons of plugins, on a RPi?

[native path]

VPN home then stream your pc screen easy

[frail sequoia]

Was wanting to do a headless mod or whatever its called to it to turn it into an emulation console but my dad won't let me so its an aio emulation console

[frail sequoia]

Wouldn't hamatchi be better than a vpn for that

[median warren]

I like your way of thinking

[median warren]

That cursed app

[native path]

Dunno but I vpn home to access my home server and I can stream my desktop without hiccups

[median warren]

Fucking hamachi holy shit, always reminds me of my 2015 Minecraft days with my friends online

[rose stream]

Turns out, a music guy tried it as one of two alternatives for considering leaving Windows.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaY23TSa4-0

[frail sequoia]

Hamatchi is probs older than me, I was born nearly 17 years ago back in '09

[native path]

My brother once sent my IP with an open port into a reddit thread asking for people to play with

[median warren]

Zerotier works really well too, I find that ZeroTier is a better hamachi

[median warren]

I don't know if hamachi is that old, but it sure is old

[median warren]

I hope you burnt him alive

[frail sequoia]

It was released in 2004

Its 5 years older than me

[median warren]

Actually just to make sure he understands the dangers of that, open a wound on his arm and then send him deep into the Amazon rainforest right when the air is the most humid

It's basically the equivalent

[rose stream]

I was honestly surprised anybody from the music world tried this, but then chose specifically to do an RPi setup for doing actual professional music tracks for his experiment.

[median warren]

I am 1 year older than hamachi, hamachi is oooolllddd

But there are better services now

There's also Minecraft mods which do exactly what hamachi does so there's no need for it

[frail sequoia]

Your 23?

[median warren]

Turning 23 in a month

[frail sequoia]

e4mc is server mod and is decent, essential is better though

[median warren]

Exactly what I wanted to mention

[frail sequoia]

I use essential most of the time unless im playing with a mate that uses cracked minecraft

[median warren]

I'm on my way to setting up a custom private Minecraft server for me and my pals, just need the pc for it tho cause it'll be quite intensive

Anyway I'm out, goodnight

[frail sequoia]

Bye bye

[native path]

I’ll open up a wound and send him to the upside down where demogorgans and smell blood

[wet ember]

Thank you Google for remote desktop

[gritty panther]

I use it all the time to remote into windows vm on my server

it works and it's free. that's a good combo

[wet ember]

LOOOOL am I dumb

This whole panic about me thinking I need to buy a Windows laptop for my auditing software to work properly is useless

I have a 2015 MacBook Pro sitting at home that can be dual booted with Windows

[vapid ibex]

Your pfp is revolting bro 😭

[wet ember]

Fr

[vapid ibex]

Put anything else

Idc if it's an anime girl just anything

[empty quartz]

@wet ember you’re corsair 1000d guy right?

Nvm

Its whesss

My apologies

[frail sequoia]

This is peak

[azure topaz]

a 360hz one

[ivory mountain]

Rather just buy an open box 1440p 280

[azure topaz]

okay but that’s worse

[ivory mountain]

Yeah its also half the price

[azure topaz]

then do that one brokie

[vapid ibex]

If anyone has an iPad. Get a keyboard case to use it to its full capacity

[ivory mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/larry-larry-baby-ai-baby-laughing-ai-baby-baby-gif-17394836155970552795

[azure topaz]

(real note idk, ask michael or akn)

[native path]

I tried this and didn’t enjoy it unfortunately

[grizzled frost]

wish apple wasn't such a bitch and made the ipad act like a mac in this mode

[valid canyon]

Well
iPad is not a Mac

[grizzled frost]

Same chip, screen, keyboard
is mac

[native path]

I wish Apple made their Magic Keyboard case detachable

[valid canyon]

People don’t use it as a Mac

[native path]

You’d be surprised

[grizzled frost]

yeah, cause apple flat out refuses to let you

also many people use their ipad as their laptop

[native path]

This would sell me on a $300 iPad case

[valid canyon]

Because the experience of swiping on a tiny screen to type out a document is miserable. By the time you get all the stuff you need to turn an iPad into a MacBook you might as well get a neo

And yes

[vapid ibex]

I actually enjoyed it now. Btw I think the lag Is because I am used to 180hz on my desktop so this feels "laggy" but it's just 60hz. I didn't opt for a Mac because I don't require it that much and I also don't have the budget for it. It's an M4 iPad air. I will be using it for documents and I also have an SD card reader which I can use to transport any files etc instead of relying on iCloud which is finicky on my Linux machine. Oh it's also great for media, put in a couple shows on a 256 SD card and it works great although one thing I do hate is the limited Foss availability on ios in general

[valid canyon]

Because it is a money stream

[native path]

“Get all the stuff” and it’s just a case

[valid canyon]

It’s a case and a mouse

And you’re left with a miserable experience

[vapid ibex]

This one is. It's a esr shift keyboard. IT WORKS SO GOOD. I can use different angles too and full protection for only 60 quid compared to apples 270 quid

[native path]

There isn’t a case out there that I enjoy (or at least when I looked 2 years ago), I want a detachable Magic Keyboard case. I don’t like the way the stand works on Logitech’s combo touch but it’s detachable

[native path]

Yeah but the way the Magic Keyboard case keeps the iPad up is genuinely way better

[vapid ibex]

Literally search esr shift keyboard

[native path]

It’s a keyboard and trackpad built into a case, which is fully detachable

[vapid ibex]

Check the esr combo 360? I think?

Still wayyy cheaper than what apple are selling

[fickle ivy]

Is this an insane deal?

[native path]

Yo these dudes have 100 cases which is it 😭

[vapid ibex]

Esr rebound

[native path]

Not really insane, $400 for a 240hz curved ultrawide VA panel

[fickle ivy]

That's $400 cad

[gritty panther]

no

[valid canyon]

I’d genuinely rather jump of a cliff than work on a touchpad

[native path]

So why would you get a Neo if you rather die than use a laptop

[vapid ibex]

I just think that apples magic keyboards are overpriced . The iPad air is 599. Apples magic keyboard is 270 quid. That's nearly the price of the iPad pro combined

[gritty panther]

you can't bring your beef desktop everywhere.

[vapid ibex]

U do realise u can carry a mouse with u

[native path]

Keyboard doesn’t appear to be detachable

[gritty panther]

they're decent enough that you can even make a docking setup whatever it's called for a full desktop experience.

[fickle ivy]

Why not

[valid canyon]

I can serf a laptop with me
That by the time I get everything I need will be just as heavy as a tablet with a case and a mouse but would be a fucking powerhouse that MacBook airs are lol

[vapid ibex]

Ye I think the esr shift is the best deal you can get then. I mean look I can't judge because I never once owned a laptop. And I would rather not carry one for simple tasks unless I need proper desktop applications which I would next year so I'm just getting on with this for now

[native path]

MacBook airs have a trackpad dude

[gritty panther]

it's an "ok" deal. I've seen better

[formal sonnet]

No. It's an ACER, and it's a VA panel.

[gritty panther]

VA is not exciting

[native path]

There’s better options out there

[native path]

+1 from someone a 27” curved VA panel, don’t do it

[vapid ibex]

What are we on about here

[native path]

Think it’s just ragebait

[gritty panther]

VA is fine. I have one just for sports stuff and anime. but OLED or atleast IPS in 2026

[fickle ivy]

Im fine with VA

[vapid ibex]

I have a 24 inch VA monitor. Does the job

[fickle ivy]

Im on a 27" 1440p 60hz VA rn

[gritty panther]

VA is fine but in 2026 it would be dumb to buy one

[vapid ibex]

Blacks better than IPS but smearing is not the best

[vapid ibex]

Don't think it's dumb depends on budget

[native path]

I’m fine with my VA panel as well but if I’m spending $400 CAD i’d want something better

[gritty panther]

not much savings tbh. there's other options that are better and same price

[vapid ibex]

I don't like IPS maybe because of the monitor I used before but the backlight bleeding doesn't look nice

[gritty panther]

display tech evolves. even cheap chinesium IPS monitors look really good now

but id rather get OLED 😄

or equivalent miniLED

[native path]

I got a 24” 144hz IPS display for like $75 usd brand new last month

[vapid ibex]

If I had the money I would but it's not a justifiable purchase rn. I think mini led might be a bit better

[gritty panther]

they compete with each other. it's like picking between two hot chicks. who cares they're both hot

😆

[vapid ibex]

One chick is more expensive

And I don't like expensive chicks

[deep musk]

just watched a 6 years old vid linus is praising a va panel qwq

[gritty panther]

I have a 2018 TV in the living room with quantum dot VA panel

[deep musk]

I'm sorry?

[gritty panther]

it looks decent in 2026 but I want an OLED tv soon

[vapid ibex]

Oled more expensive

[native path]

OLED TVs are great

[hardy cargo]

ive been looking into a new oled monitor to replace my ips panel, but i think i do too much work from home/browsing to have it make sense. or im just paranoid of burn in idk

[left dove]

samsung messages is being depricated FINALLY

[deep musk]

oh oki, thought you were making a sexist comment out of nowhere qwq

[gritty panther]

I've been wanting one for a few years now. VA 2018 TV still works. I have nowhere to put it. I have to dispose it if I upgrade.

[vapid ibex]

Oled TVs are a go to it's not even a comparison but monitors are different

[vapid ibex]

😭

[native path]

It’s something you gotta do eventually tbh

[deep musk]

it's a normal va panel 240 hz qwq

[left dove]

qled + mini led is also good

[gritty panther]

I know a lot of people that made 42" OLED 120hz+ LG TV's as their main display. all of them love it lol

[deep musk]

I knoooowww 😭 😭 😭

Nah if it’s not the best TV of all time I don’t even want it near my line of sight /s

We recently just got a QLED Samsung frame for our living room a couple months ago, it’s great

[gritty panther]

OLED is nice though

once you go (true) black. you never go back.

[vapid ibex]

Ya but that's Hella expensive. There's just some stuff I can't justify buying until I see an actual use case for them at a reasonable pricr. Like for example, I don't often watch content on my pc, I usually do it on my phone cuz it's more comfortable for my eyes personally, getting an oled wouldn't be that significant so it's user dependant. What I might do is get an asus (I think?) oled monitor I saw which is priced at 400 but it would probably be by the end of the year

[native path]

I’m always watching content but it’s usually on my 2nd monitor

Maybe I should upgrade that one to OLED instead of my main one 😂😂

[vapid ibex]

Content?

[native path]

YouTube, Netflix, whatever movie/show

[vapid ibex]

It said context so I was confused lol. But I use 1 monitor. Otherwise I don't end up doing shit when working and just browse

[native path]

[woeful wren]

im sure it is, but microcenter has good bundles for cpu, mobo, and ram saving me like 300 dollars

[solar moat]

yep ok

[woeful wren]

cpu, and gpu combo good tho?

[solar moat]

i'ed go 9600x and better gpu over 7700x but combo deal i gessing 7700x only option since no ones buys it otherwise

or maybe even 250k

[woeful wren]

they do have a 7 9700X for 50 bucks more

[solar moat]

9700x no one buys it due to being ass

[woeful wren]

oh gotcha

[solar moat]

amd R7 class on am5 where allways just ass vaule

they where way to much of price incress and games just where not any faster with 2 extra cores and slighty higher clocks

the ram in mine got upgraded

and its a dual core so

good performance

[winter lantern]

I got a new different gpu and only the hdmi works am I cooked

[woeful wren]

no 🙂

i dont think so

[winter lantern]

I mean it uses 1.4 so idk

[woeful wren]

well what refresh rates and/or resolution do u use

[winter lantern]

A weird one that uses 1.4

[woeful wren]

well i mean any display that uses hdmi 1.4 is most likely capped at 1080p 60hz, and thats the most hdmi 1.4 can do besides 4k 24hz

[winter lantern]

The display port should still work tho and just look bad

[winter lantern]

I ment dp

[woeful wren]

ohoh

okok wait just so I understand right, gpu with no working dp, and a weird display that uses dp?

or am i lost

[swift moss]

resistor army assembled

[grizzled frost]

why not just use higher rated capacitors?

[swift moss]

??

what do you think my resistors are for lol

[grizzled frost]

are they wired together, or are they their own thinga

[swift moss]

not every single one of them but yeah

[grizzled frost]

why wire multiple resistors together when you could use hire rated resistors

just trying to get a specific resistance value?

[gritty panther]

9700x bundle on microcenter is pretty decent

[swift moss]

ahh well see if you use a higher rated resistor what happens is 1000 volts arcs across it and vaporises it

[gritty panther]

that's my favorite CPU for friends/family

[grizzled frost]

That’s a thing that can happen???

[swift moss]

I am also able ot use 250V resistors since layering them in series makes it MUCH cheaper than buying extremely expensive, imprecise 1000V resistors

[swift moss]

voltage does arc, and it travels a lot easier through PCB substrate ,its called creepage

for my CAT II certification, i need at least 5mm+ of creepage and i'm running it quite close with 6.3mm resistors

[grizzled frost]

Higher impedance leads to the PCB being a less resistant path in comparison essentially?

[swift moss]

also 9.975Megaohm 1000V resistors are impossible to find

[grizzled frost]

Genuine questions, i’m extremely inexperienced

[swift moss]

?? what do you mean

higher impedance leads

[grizzled frost]

Like a higher impedance resistor would make the electricity seep through the PCB

Since in comparison the pcb is now a less resistant path

[winter lantern]

im using a 1070 what do i do

[swift moss]

no, also don't say resistors have impedance, they have resistance, impedance is bound to AC electricity

[snow mauve]

what's the ultimate project this plan is for? 🙂

[swift moss]

if i was doing 10V, it wouldn't matter if i used 10M or 5 2M resistors in fact 10M resistors usually more accurate since i don't have to account for 5 tolerances

[grizzled frost]

Understood, very inexperienced

[swift moss]

alg alg, impedance = L, resistance = R

this is basically dividing 1000V into 2.5V, my circuit

[grizzled frost]

i also have this question

[swift moss]

and all it needs to do is be precise and safe since i'm trying to squeeze 6.5 digits of accuracy out

[swift moss]

6.5 digit multimeter

[grizzled frost]

Oooh, very cool

[solar moat]

time to get 500 5V resisters and put them in serise to get needed voltage/resistance vaules needed

[swift moss]

and i can have shitty resistors since I can just calibrate the meter with good resistors and voltage sources later

[swift moss]

that is indeed a strategy

[grizzled frost]

dumb question, but is resistance additive or multiplicative

IE if i have two 100ohm resistors, i would then have 200ohms of resistance right?

[solar moat]

2 5ohm in serise is 10 ohm

but in parallel its 2.5 ohm

[grizzled frost]

“parial” meaning parallel?

[solar moat]

i cant read

[grizzled frost]

Good to know

the extent of my experience with designing electronics is fucking around with breadboards and LEDs

[solar moat]

and if there rated for 5V and you put them in serise you now got it good for 10V

[grizzled frost]

Also good to know, since previously i just hoped and prayed the resistors didn’t blow up

[solar moat]

also resistor have power rating

due to it will melt if you chuck 100W into a tiny one

[grizzled frost]

I did know that

and i also realized i was using resistors at twice their rated wattage

oh and LEDs at 1.5x their rated amperage

the bomb is wired nicely though

(not an actual bomb, just a fire hazard)

Hi Everyone, My HDD health is 9% and got 3120 bad sector there I've 4-5 years of 3D work. Right now can't move the data for some personal issues. If I turned off the power for my HDD unplug it from computer will it stop draining health until I purchase a new HDD to move those files?

[formal sonnet]

If you turn off the HDD, it will indeed stop wearing out the drive, however, it may also never boot up again. Depends on how damaged it is. The best time to backup your data was yesterday. The next best time to backup your data is today. The worst time to backup your data is when the data is bye-bye gone donzo due to storage drive failure.

[bright mica]

Wow, Now I'm so worried previously lost 3 years of work for hacker 5 years ago. And now disk failure.

Have no other options right now.

Thank you for your explanation.

[formal sonnet]

Welcome, and I don't say it to cause worry - just trying to be realistic about data loss, that's all. Hopefully the drive will keep working the next time you power it on when you're ready to copy files off it.

[bright mica]

I'm hoping for the same. Thanks for the words. God Bless you.

this is a high voltage divider

True, mb
However, high screentime in anything can and always has been a strong reason for developing symptoms similar to ADHD and has been studied for decades

So it like, barely matters

You don't have ADHD but develop as if you have ADHD lol

he still insists on the dram cache mentality

[fallow yacht]

oh hi haven't seen u before

[dapper light]

too much fragmented info, you end up wasting your time looking for non trash information than actually learning how it works.
same reason private tutoring is like some order of magnitude more effective than self study

[fallow yacht]

sometimes LLMs can mix in trash information

[rigid fjord]

while true, it also takes a bit of critical thinking, rather than just accepting what one source says

[dapper light]

though private tutoring is expensive, glad to have the privilege to have access to these back then :P

[fallow yacht]

good for you i just use pattern recognition

mostly in math

[dapper light]

being unable to focus studying due to ADHD, is entirely uncorrelated to that

[fallow yacht]

it just makes u not focus for so long but sometimes it just finds a way to do the same thing as efficient as possible

idk that's just me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

a little bit of this and a little bit of that but mainly gaming

[rigid fjord]

oh and distance from viewing the display

[fallow yacht]

how's it like?

[iron glen]

does this matter?
for my eyes yeah but performance wise

[rigid fjord]

it can affect the other 3 i just said about

[sleek ibex]

Literally this meme

Less about clarity in games, more about you can multitask better without scaling making everything cramped to kingdom come

[rigid fjord]

sucks when you're using it at over 27" and more than 4ft away

[iron glen]

i guess
my desk doesn't have much space(mainly because of the monitors) so im tryina find smth that isnt on my desk

[fallow yacht]

...maybe i should get diagnosed

[dapper light]

Hence why it's an all distance minimum

[iron glen]

did you know you can make lemonade out of pine needles along with soap and some other stuff

[rigid fjord]

meanwhile you could use 1080p at up to 24" or over 32" when either you're like 2-3 ft away or over 6ft away

[dapper light]

Yea sure if it's for single content stuff

1080p starts to suck when trying to multi task

[iron glen]

oh

[dapper light]

And you realize you're fucked by scaling

And nothing fits

[fallow yacht]

me at 1366x768

[dapper light]

Good luck trying to do a 4 window split on 1080p

Best you can do is 2 windows

[iron glen]

idk i found this thing, looks decent and at a decent price

[fallow yacht]

sounds like i need an new monitor

but who cares i rarely use a pc anyways

[iron glen]

well i tried but then i didn't like it so i got 2 1080p monitors

and now the take up over half of my desk

and one doesn't always work :/

I love you can tell when I'm talking to a younger employee

They're so Tik Tok pilled I have to speak at what feels like YT .25x speed because otherwise they can't focus on anything I say

[stoic nova]

Nah they're just stoned

You gotta learn to match other people's levels

[sinful cobalt]

I speak way too fast

like genuinely when im locked in im speaking at like 0.5x of eminem

[iron parcel]

I'm looking for a gpu and should I choose the 7600 or the 4060

Or the 5090

[fallow yacht]

guess who got yt premium

[rigid fjord]

nah, stoned peeps you can speak slower with and have multiple levels of conversations

literally about everything and nothing

[stoic nova]

But if you don't realize they're stoned youd be just like kazumi

[rigid fjord]

nah, you can tell stoned vs not stoned people

[stoic nova]

I know how to meet fellas on that wavelength if the need arises

It's like riding a bike

Haven't done it in years but you just don't forget how

[eternal cloak]

I am, that's the problem

I already talk slower for certain people

[eternal cloak]

Nah

[stoic nova]

If you turn down the BPM of rap does it make it opera?

[eternal cloak]

Nah

It makes a Ted Talk

[stoic nova]

That's fax

[sinful cobalt]

rtx pro 6000 blackwell or msi lightning z 5090

[solar moat]

just get cheapest 5090 its way better vaule then both

[sinful cobalt]

….

[solar moat]

or if you want loads of Vram b70

[iron parcel]

Just bought a broken dead completely torn 5090 for 10 bucks

Uncommon to see

[deep musk]

Finally got a pic of it

[deep musk]

I have two of them

[grizzled frost]

ancient GPU

[deep musk]

Yep, an obscure dell version of an Nvidia card, basically no info about it online

[jovial shard]

I discovered that the reason of my pc hanging and freezing is because of pcie lans are suffocating, removing the second nvme made everything work correctly
Knowing that this is a new nvme and i tried so many while also this is a new motherboard.. i maxxed it out 4 sata ssds.. 2 nvmes .. so gpu was not getting enough

Conclusion : sometimes you can just max out what's in paper

[deep musk]

You’re sure it’s the pcie lanes suffocating? Cause the bandwidth isn’t shared unlike pci, could be a power consumption issue

[west wagon]

guys, don't listen to 1440p glazers, the shit is insanely bad value... get a higher refresh rate or go oled at least...

[iron glen]

whats the point where i can't tell tell difference between refresh rates on a monitor?
180hz?

[west wagon]

above 400hz is where most people can't

[deep musk]

It’s pretty much different for everyone, but in general they higher you go, the less you’ll perceive the difference

[iron glen]

alr

[west wagon]

did not answer their question btw

[iron glen]

well it did

answered it really well actually

[deep musk]

So if you can, go to a store with monitors on display and look for the point where you stop feeling the difference

[west wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/хоумлендер-пацаны-мем-gif-15737410396202710969

[deep musk]

Forgot to add the second part of my answer

[deep musk]

For example some people can’t even feel the jump from 60 to 120-144

[winter lantern]

Theyre lowkey just ragebaiting

[sleek ibex]

Oh damn that's AGP

Oh derp NVM

[deep musk]

I have a riva tnt2 with agp

[sleek ibex]

I have a GeForce2 Pro 64MB AGP in my slot 1 build

[deep musk]

Yeah, that’s what I figured

[deep musk]

Nicey

[mint umbra]

Think I going back to windows

Linux is cool in all but too many inconveniences

[sleek ibex]

Pentium III 1.1GHz, 256MB ram, Aureal Vortex 2 PCI, and AWE64 Gold ISA running on Windows 98SE

[mint umbra]

I can't tell difference in like 100 Hz and 240 unless it's like super slowed down lol

[sleek ibex]

AOpen AX6BC Slot 1 motherboard

[deep musk]

Yeah, my mom can’t see the difference between 60 and 120 but get somehow motion sick if the lights flicker under 30-60hz

[grizzled frost]

there's a greater absolute difference in 30hz and 60hz than 60 and 120

[deep musk]

I wish I had an agp system to use my card with

[deep musk]

Yeah but to the point of being motion sick is wild to me

[grizzled frost]

some people are particularly sensitive

[west wagon]

that's 100% not possible, unless there's a medical condition in between

[deep musk]

My mom cannot feel it, she’s 45, so yes it is

[west wagon]

she's lying or just not caring

[deep musk]

Alright continue to live in your world, idc, it’s not cause you aren’t like that that no one is like that

[west wagon]

i'm gonna be a good puppy and write you how you're 100% wrong, with proof

[sleek ibex]

And i have my AWE64 Gold in there for whenever I play DOS games like Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, or Blood since Aureal Vortex 2's support for DOS sound wise is..... Ehhhh

[deep musk]

Damn, funy

[deep musk]

That’s a huge cooler, what’s the tdp of that chip?

[deep musk]

So the cpu is held more securely and at a hopefully closer to 0 degree angle

[grizzled frost]

39.5w

[deep musk]

Nice

[pure trellis]

So,why it's new?

[deep musk]

What do you mean? (English isn’t my first language 😅)

[grizzled frost]

You're very well spoken for english not being your first language

[deep musk]

I think it’s cause it’s the first time it’s gonna be used on consumer products

[grizzled frost]

The dual arm is supposed to help with some of the IHS bending

[pure trellis]

I guess,last 20 years doesn't exist

[deep musk]

Thanks, I’m from Quebec so we had to learn English at school (im still shit af at speaking tho)

[grizzled frost]

English is far from an easy language to learn given it's many rule sets based on word origin

[deep musk]

We never had a dual retention arm system on any intel cpu other than the older xeons

[deep musk]

Yeah, French is a hell hole for foreigners too

[pure trellis]

P3 limited edition had one

[grizzled frost]

I know a handful of phrases in french, and man is it not easy to learn

[deep musk]

Oh, didn’t know that, but it’s a limited edition so not that many were made/it wasn’t really as mainstream as the whole lineup like the next one

[native path]

I was put in school to learn mandarin for 8 years, I still don’t know it

[deep musk]

On older Xeons, if you aren’t used to it, it’s scary af due to the amount of pressure put on that cpu by the arms (so much so, you have to follow the sequence to make sure the pressure is properly applied)

[grizzled frost]

Yeah Older xeon arms are stiff

[west wagon]

your eyes and your brain work together to make up your vision, eyes detect light and the brain processes it.
since the brain does not function through a clock or a tickrate frequency and more in a continuous steady manner the vision is made by something called CFF or critical flicker fusion frequency, in simpler terms, how flicking lights get smoothen out into seemingly being continuous the faster they flicker.

that CFF is spoken into hz of course within a typical range of 10hz variation between people. average being 80hz (some 40hz electrical installation will look like blinking lights usually)
Age rarely matters enough to be meaningful to determine what screen has a higher refresh rate. would matter at much higher refresh rate in the 360 range.

psychophysical study from 2024 did show that on average the performance of the non gamers participants (in the proposed game) wasn't particularly affected above 60hz, 7 of the 26 tested stated that from 60hz and up felt much better
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.13027

subjectively speaking it is common sense to assume the extreme majority of the concerned clientele do feel a difference the higher they go in refresh rate otherwise there wouldn't be a market for high refresh rate monitors at all to begin with.
your statement saying you mother couldn't feel the difference between 60 and 144hz is in the very high chance due to contradiction mentality or a social/identity thing, like her not being involved into gaming enough and not wanting to be a part of it by undermining the difference she infact felt.

[west wagon]

@deep musk

[deep musk]

Yeah, really, the oem coolers too (especially the dell ones)

[forest lotus]

Seems my Nas is not very happy if I constantly shove gigabytes of reads and writes at it for an hour (the main storage drive is kinda dying so need to get a better one. My cache drive is fine)

[deep musk]

So you have 1 study to back up your claims?

[sleek ibex]

I like the 64 gold though I do plan on getting something like a DreamBlaster wavetable for the Aureal sound card. Will save the AWE card for another project when the time arrives

[west wagon]

i have more

[deep musk]

You know how you clearly tell when a tv show was filmed on 24 or on 60?

[west wagon]

@deep musk

[deep musk]

People sometimes don’t feel it

[west wagon]

that's another subject unrelated to it because 24hz conveins motion better to non acting viewers while 60 hz conveins more information and is more stimulating which applies better to gaming

[grizzled frost]

It really depends on the type of content

Less busy shots are less likely to have a noticeable difference based on fps

[west wagon]

people do feel it, 60hz movies was a thing for a super short time, people hated it they were overstimulated

[kindred halo]

Which Xeon socket?

[deep musk]

She might feel better performing but she doesn’t see the differences

[kindred halo]

I don't

[deep musk]

2011 (v1 v2 v3 v4)

[west wagon]

that's literally the definition of feeling and seeing a difference

[kindred halo]

I can only see the difference if both 24 & 60 are played

[kindred halo]

Socket 2011 had dual retention arms? That's interesting, never heard of that feature on it

[floral cosmos]

Hi everyone

[deep musk]

Yeah, but you’re talking about perceived performance based on frame rate, not perceived frame rates themselves, you think I managed to make my mom play a video game?

[west wagon]

i can tell you didn't read the 2nd study i sent just from that

[deep musk]

Yep, and it’s a horror show

[deep musk]

I did, the first sentences say self perceived performance is higher when a higher refresh rate was used

(Basically)

[west wagon]

it's deeper but the study is quite lengthy i can understand it takes time to read it all

[kindred halo]

Why?

[west wagon]

just cut some "chapters"

[deep musk]

I have one on my precision t3600, was weirded out to hell when I first put a cpu in that

[kindred halo]

Do you need to push both arms down at once

[deep musk]

No, there’s a sequence, one at time and it’s the opposite order to remove it than to install it

Gotta go cut some apple tree branches brb

[west wagon]

scarier thing is that the people actually don't see differences between 60 at 144hz are still able to drive a car and share a highway with everyone else while having an objectively far worse eye sight

[solar moat]

https://tenor.com/d0NQV41wK1B.gif

[gaunt spade]

they should die

[deep musk]

You understand that it’s a perception thing, not their brain or their eyes treating less information than the average? They receive the same visual informations, they just can’t feel the difference consciously

[gritty panther]

my GF and mom can't see the difference.I was so dissapointed

like really? come on

[deep musk]

Huh? You very probably know someone that can’t feel the difference

[gaunt spade]

yea

[deep musk]

Alr 🤷‍♀️

[gritty panther]

even in iphone/iOS. 120hz feels like butter. 60hz feels like crap. mom and gf can't tell the difference

[gaunt spade]

i guess bro

[gritty panther]

like it's night and day! I realized some people just don't care.

[west wagon]

on average there's an underlying issue because you have to genuinely far under average to not see any difference

[kindred halo]

Oh interesting
Tbh I'd take dual retention arms in that case

[west wagon]

yes exactly ! most people actually don't really pay attention to it and they uncounsciously undermine the difference

[gritty panther]

I was so dissapointed with both of them im not even kidding but it is what it is.

they dont need 120hz iphones at all

smh

[west wagon]

eh you can't expect people to give the same amount of interest you do in everything you know, as long as they're happy with a product like this most won't care about it
