[kindred halo]

Also is there anything inherently wrong with it

As in, is it awful even for an XX50 or something??

I watched reviews of it at 100W and it seemed fine

[iron glen]

i wont get to do my finals on a computer but i wonder what it will be like to do an exam not on paper

[exotic cape]

about 400 people in a large conference hall, internet access but only to aprooved websites wich were 4 sites, including the exam site itself.
very stright no talking, phone has to be turned off and placed screen down on left side of desk along with id and exam paper.
and a bunch of other stright things

along with a 130$ fee

[iron glen]

one of my finals was similar except phone had to be turned off or on airplane mode and in your bag along with other electronics
if you're caught with electronics the people looking over you have the right to just take your paper and fail you, same if you're caught talking to others

[exotic cape]

and haing copilot installed can be counted as cheating and will disqualify you

[iron glen]

is copilot good now

[iron glen]

hoddamn
better have been worth it

[exotic cape]

any form of AI is a form of cheating and will result in DQ

[exotic cape]

thats the minus of doing it as a private person instead of doing it via school

[iron glen]

cant think of any exams here you can do privately

[exotic cape]

we have all exams, everything from norwegian to aviation theory exam

logitstics to medicine

[deep musk]

@kindred halo how are u today?

[kindred halo]

HIIIIIII

I am great honestly! Wbuu????

[deep musk]

Am goody too >w<

[kindred halo]

That's great to hear!!!! X3

[fallow yacht]

sup nerds

[kindred halo]

Also adding onto what I said in SalemTS

I am unfortunately not buying the Legion 5 I originally talked about </3

Out of stock!!!!

So, instead, buying the closest one in price

$60 more for a Legion 5i Pro 16IRX10
i7 14650HX, 16GB, 512GB, 5050, 1600p IPS

$1,196

No Thunderbolt or 20 Gigabit USB-C but it's fine!!!

[native path]

yay im home now with lasagna in the oven

[kindred halo]

Yummy :3c

[kindred halo]

LOL
Okay that's funny

[ionic ember]

I just got to work and I wish I was home with lasagna in the oven

[kindred halo]

Though should've gotten a Legion 1!!!!!

That one has an 8c CPU!!!! The Z1E!!!

[fallow yacht]

lasagna is fuckin delicious ngl

[native path]

i made 4 different batches of lasagna and froze it

now when i feel like lasgana i just throw a tray in the oven

[fallow yacht]

sounds like heaven

[deep musk]

Ohhhh, nicey, does it have usb pd? (Mine has 100w usb c pd, very useful for when I forget the charger but still want to charge it relatively fast)

[native path]

i cant wait to build up my tech bag

[sinful cobalt]

auramaxxing

[deep musk]

Doesn’t that i7 have a bunch of cores?

[kindred halo]

Yeah!! I am pretty sure it does 65-100W USB-PD??

[kindred halo]

Yeppppps x3
16 cores!!

[deep musk]

Ohhhh nicey

[deep musk]

Coolio

[kindred halo]

https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX10?M=83NN001UDP

Here's the exact model :3

Purchasing as early as tomorrow

[kindred halo]

Oh apparently it does 140W too but 140W requires Lenovo adapter

[deep musk]

Ohhh nicey, yeah I think that’s only via the powerbrick, I know the latest usbc pd can do more than 100watts but I have yet to see it implemented in a device

[kindred halo]

Yep, plus I wouldn't trust a standard wall adapter with more than 100W lol

Would be neat though when on the move, 100W charger for both laptop and phone

Ugh I am so excited!! I am finally getting a laptop after a year of planning and hesitating!!!!

[deep musk]

Yeah, same, I have yet to find a non sketchy 100watts pd charger that’s affordable

[carmine verge]

hello im in need of some advice on a pcie to sata3 adapter or solution for a NAS type build with a mobo that only has 4 sata3 ports.... i have a case that can fit 10 3.5inch drives and im probably going to fill it. im looking for value for money with reliability . cheaper the better HDD prices are hurting my soul

[grizzled frost]

LSI 8i HBA

[kindred halo]

Shonks 😭 I love that!!!!

[deep musk]

How many sata ports do you want? Do you need the full 10 ports rn or only later?

[kindred halo]

I can't even find 65W for less than like 50!!!

[deep musk]

Whaaaat

[kindred halo]

I managed to find a 45W adapter for $20 from Hoco, pretty decent charger

[deep musk]

Nicer

[kindred halo]

But 65W is just hard to find from reputable brands???

[grizzled frost]

8i = 8 sata ports (with the right cables)
16i = 16 sata ports (with the right cables)

[deep musk]

I used a laptop usbc charger for a while, don’t remember if it was 65 or 90 watts max

[kindred halo]

Oh nvm I just found a Lenovo travel adapter for $30 lol

[kindred halo]

Which laptop was it?

[carmine verge]

i have 4 on mobo so need 6 more , i have 6hdds ready to go in rn hopefully another 4 to order if i can find any in my country(no stock or priced like they are made of gold)

[deep musk]

I don’t remember, it was a random charger from my collection of random charger qwq

[deep musk]

You could get an hba card like @grizzled frost said or a pcie x1 to 6 sata port controller card

[kindred halo]

Oh fair x3

[deep musk]

Ngl, once a 180 watt or more usbc pd spec drops, im modding my laptop to use that instead it the barrel plug

[kindred halo]

Hmmm
Can your battery even safely accept 180W??

[native path]

its HBA time

[deep musk]

Yep, my laptop’s charger does 180watts

(It’s an i7-13700hx with a mobile 4060)

[kindred halo]

Oooh okay that's fair

[grizzled frost]

i wish macbooks had higher max power draws

i want my MBP to guzzle 200w if i feel so inclined

[kindred halo]

Yeah just changing the charging port itself if the V & I ratings are identical to the port you're changing to should be fine

[kindred halo]

What's the max draw on it

[grizzled frost]

Not 100% sure, but it's less than 70w since that's the biggest charger you can get

less than 70w total system draw

if i want my MBP to be the surface of the sun in my lap, i should be allowed to do that

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/kamen-ooo-putotyra-scanning-charge-gif-27193379

[kindred halo]

Wtf

Why so low

[grizzled frost]

Part of it is just the efficiency of the ARM architecture alongside unified memory

the memory and dies being so close allows for greater efficiency

but also part of it is apple being a little bitch and not wanting to give their consumers too much power so as to not poach their mac studio market

[native path]

Actually, the 16-inch MacBook Pro allows for power delivery up to approximately 140W when paired with compatible charging standards such as USB-C Power Delivery 3.1 or MagSafe, enabling efficient high-load performance and rapid battery charging while maintaining internal regulation that prevents exceeding this designed maximum input threshold (Apple, 2026).

[grizzled frost]

what about the 14in

[native path]

96W sir

[grizzled frost]

Good to know, since i'm buying one soon

[native path]

Base M5 MBP

[grizzled frost]

This is the specs i ended up going with

[native path]

Appears that only the M5 Pro and up have the High Power Mode

[grizzled frost]

Actually i should switch to the 96w then

[native path]

Yeah it's $20

For like a $2500 purchase, $20 seems negligible

[grizzled frost]

2600 in my case

[native path]

Wow my estimate was close

[grizzled frost]

Well base price, i get quite a few discounts for random things, but most people wouldn't

I'm buying it so I have a workhorse for College

[native path]

I mean it should be a choice whether you want a more portable 70W brick or a beefer 96W brick, but the price doesn't seem too bad tbh

What happened to windows?

[grizzled frost]

I opted for mac since i prefer the portability, battery life, and it has better software stability for the theatrical work i do

[native path]

I see, I wonder what kind of discounts I can get.

[grizzled frost]

If I need more raw horsepower like from an NVIDIA GPU, i can always remote into my desktop or one of my servers

[native path]

Bare minimum i'm getting the education discount, but I dunno if I can get anything more

[grizzled frost]

Yeah obviously i'm getting the education discount, i also get trade-in credit for my current mac, and i have a 150usd apple giftcard

[native path]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpu-drivers/apple-approves-drivers-that-let-amd-and-nvidia-egpus-run-on-mac-software-designed-for-ai-though-and-not-built-for-gaming

[grizzled frost]

that brings it down to about 2000usd

[grizzled frost]

I'm not bringing an E-GPU to a lecture hall

[native path]

Are you getting this in the summer with the back to school discount?

[grizzled frost]

I'm getting it this weekend

[native path]

It would be cool tho 😂

[native path]

Dang, enjoy

I'm still stuck between getting it this year or hoping there's OLED next year

Technically I don't need my macbook for another 3 years

[grizzled frost]

My current macbook would probably be okay for the first year of college, since it's mostly gen-eds, but i'd rather have it ahead of time for my theatrical work

my M3 MBA runs not so well when i change the render settings in vectorworks beyond potato settings

[native path]

Yeah I'm always +1 for getting stuff that you already need to get earlier, so the work you're going to do will feel nicer and more enjoyable

[grizzled frost]

I'm also lucky to be receiving most of the price as a gift from my Grandparents

My grandparents always have a policy that if it's for your education, they're happy to help

[native path]

I could've kept my Huawei Matebook 14 with no gpu for the first semester of school, or I could've got this cool beefy G14

I ended up getting the G14, but that piece of shit was so annoying throughout school

[native path]

My mom and stepdad has this as well, as I've aged it's less a "i'll just get it for you" thing and more of a they'll pay for part of it as long as I can afford the other half outright instead of a payment plan

[grizzled frost]

yeah, if it's a major purchase i'm expected to pay for a good part of it

[native path]

Within reason ofc if I can justify it

I sold my G14 for $750 SGD and that's sitting in a bank along with some other funds, I think theres about 1100 in there. Pretty much all of it came from my Mom and that's the chunk that's going to go to my next macbook

The rest will be paid for by me

[grizzled frost]

I'm the only grandchild that following in the footsteps of my relatives by going into engineering, so my grandparents are happy to help me in that pursuit

I'm a 4 generation legacy at the college i'm going to, specifically engineering

i have like 12 direct relative that all went to the school for various kinds of engineering

[native path]

Ah

[grizzled frost]

I do just have a genuine interest in engineering, i didn't get pressured into it

I'm doing specifically computer and electrical engineering

[native path]

I'm like 2nd generation into "tech" if my dad counts at all, he was a video game dev then eventually got into producing them instead

I want to get into computer engineering that sounds cool af

[grizzled frost]

My grandfather owned a Tech store in the 50's and 60's

Mostly HAM Radio stuff, but they sold a bit of everything

That's partly why i first got into tech, because he always had cool stuff around

[native path]

I wonder how tech stores in the 50s were

[grizzled frost]

Not nearly as cool as microcenter

[native path]

No 5090s?

Must've been a pretty shitty store

[native path]

Yeah my dad as well he always had the latest tech in the late 2000s and early 2010s

[grizzled frost]

They still have some old stock that they never got rid of, lots of HAM Radio shit

[native path]

Then I got into tech, and dove into cybersecurity

[grizzled frost]

Never cared much for HAM Radio, but they did a bit of everything

[native path]

Whats HAM Radio again

[grizzled frost]

Amateur Radio, basically you broadcast your own radio frequencies to communicate via voice with others

in the right conditions you can broadcast for a couple hundred miles with an at home antenna

Requires a license though

And there's almost no use nowadays

[native path]

This is a dumb question but is that what they were doing in stranger things 😂

[grizzled frost]

Never saw the show, but a google search seems to indicate yes

[native path]

i see

[warm saddle]

guys, is 83c in cinebench good for 9800x3d? I have arctic liquid freezer III pro 360 . In idle i have about 38c. I have stock cpu settings.

[grizzled frost]

Yes

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[warm saddle]

Shouldn’t i get lower with this AIO?

[median warren]

83 is good

It's also cinebench a benchmark that pushes CPUs to their limits and stresses them

[unkempt flume]

Does anyone thinks, a starlink flush with the window in the jet, will work ??

[median warren]

AIOs can only cool so much, and 83 is pretty good

[deep musk]

No, starling blocks connection if it moves too fast to force people to use the airplane version, which costs infinitely more than the regular version

[unkempt flume]

it's a 1000/months, for 50GB and 100/50Gb additionnal

No idea what it cost to get their internet at this time

[deep musk]

(The installation is the worst part, if I remember correctly, I think they said it was 250 000 just to install it in the plane)

[unkempt flume]

no but i mean like, just put the starlink next to the windows ?? if we can at least get internet on a normal starlink but in sky

at least to try it

[deep musk]

Yeah, that’s the thing starlink blocks the connection if the receiver moves too fast

[unkempt flume]

okay... sad we need starlink make collabs with LTT x) to test random stuff

So you can"t get starlink in a bugatti on german autobahn LOL because it will be to fast

[median warren]

Yes

Fun fact, fastest speed anyone has ever done on the autobahn was 273mph

In a Bugatti chiron

It's on YouTube

[sinful cobalt]

nah how the chip is designed its meant to be 80+

[unkempt flume]

yep i know 🙂

[median warren]

Bro was zooming

But it is not the fastest speed done in a production car

[gilded imp]

no

normal starlink roam will cutout at ~100mph

[median warren]

So tbh you could use it if you live on the road

Just don't drive above 100mph

Which is already basically 30mph above the speed limit in 99% of the world

[craggy cove]

just got my 65€ 2060 super and it was packaged shittily with newspapers

hope this works

worst part is i live in the same small city as the seller

and the shipping company took it to this citys distribution center, then to the capital's, and back to here???

the led doesnt work but ig thats par for the course for gigabyte gpus

[thin plover]

1000 usd for 50gb

[gilded imp]

if you can afford a million dollar jet then you can probably afford that

[thin plover]

what if I can only afford a decently fast car

[rigid fjord]

at least the 4050 performas the same as a 3060

[kindred talon]

hey guys

i got glass skates on my viper v3 pro but im staarting to regret it after reading that its bad for long term, but at the same time idk how to go back to my old ptfes as i dont have them anymore and are unsure on what ptfe skates are actually good / authentic for my mouse model

[craggy cove]

i mean just enjoy ur glass skates until theyre worn out

and skates n stuff is just preference mostly

[kindred talon]

tbf its more about the fact that it affects my mousepad, and to be honest with u im not tryna ruin it 😭 would really appreciate some names of actual good ptfes

[modest sandal]

guys should i put into pc with r5 5600 and 7800xt this 750w psu? There is now the msi mag 650w one, can i keep it there? I will sell one of these and the 750w one is more expensive so….

[craggy cove]

are you asking if 650w is enough for that? if so then the answer is yes

[craggy cove]

shit idk google "best mouse skates viper v3 pro reddit" and see like 20 different opinions completely contradicting each other

[kindred talon]

yeah man thats what i hate most

[craggy cove]

i prevent myself from upgrading peripherals by saying "im bad anyway"

and my current ones are adequate anyway

[kindred talon]

😭 see problem is this mouse came with the skates so yk i didnt really have a choice

[craggy cove]

damn

i changed them cause they were worn and the new esptiger ones wore even faster

probably cause i used it on a window sill for a while

oops

[craggy cove]

nvm openrgb fixed it

not gonna install gigabyte's garbage

[native path]

my back side button double clicks and thats the main driver of me wanting a new mouse

[craggy cove]

i dont know if my side buttons even work

i just straight up dont use them

[kindred talon]

lmfao

so u went from glass skates to another glass skate

or was it ptfe

[formal sonnet]

I've been happy with CorePad PTFE mouse skates for over 10 years, but I imagine any quality PTFE skate will be fine. They should be, otherwise they're not PTFE. 😉

[steel umbra]

You can buy replacement skates off aliexpress or buy a sheet and cut it yourself

If you don't care glass skates are mostly bad long term for the softer desk mat/ mouse pad

unless you have glass skates on a glass mouse pad

that'll destroy both of them quickly if you have any sort of dust laying around

[cosmic marsh]

3rf3rfr3de2dr3ft4lop

my aplogies

friend wrote it

[median warren]

Cleaning keyboard?

Oh okay, just punch them

[cosmic marsh]

no i will get beat

[median warren]

That's why you do the first blow and hit hard

[cosmic marsh]

nah its fine

[steel umbra]

Same applies for glass mouse pad and ptfe skates

the pad will abrade the skates

you can reduce how much by frequently cleaning both surfaces

[kindred talon]

@steel umbra @formal sonnet thank you guys!!

[kindred talon]

tbh i like ptfes, i just wanted to try out the glass skates but its not worth the trouble

[steel umbra]

I also prefer sticking to ptfe

I don't have to care about abrasion as much

When both soft surface bend around the dirt you get less abrasion

[kindred talon]

yep, i also try to clean my mousepad as much as i can and it just works out perfectly

[grizzled frost]

no, AM5 is very IHS limited

[tidal geyser]

take it off :3

[median warren]

Okay my clothes are off, what now

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/859423676457287730/1286737790322868365/2x-1.gif

[steel umbra]

High density as well

[south arrow]

Well, that escalated quickly

[kindred talon]

@steel umbra ig ill try out the esptiger ptfes since http mentioned it earlier

aliexpress is gonna be a hard option for me

[ionic ember]

I have a contact frame on my CPU just to aura farm

I don't think AM5 benefits from it to the same degree LGA does

[cold skiff]

This is the best one

It can benefit on certain AIOs

[south arrow]

Looks neat

[cold skiff]

Generally it just looks tidy

By benefit, I believe AIOs can get a 0.3-1c benefit at most

[ivory mountain]

it doesnt but it still looks cool

[ionic ember]

13th/14th gen Intel absolutely needs it but AM5 probably less so

[cold skiff]

It doesn’t need it at all

[ivory mountain]

lga 1700 mounting bends the IHS, it absolutely needs it

[ionic ember]

Intel's IHS for those generations was so botched that there's like a 20 degree drop with the contact frame

[cold skiff]

IIRC early on one of the brackets failed and motherboards were recalled during testing phase and they never got to consumer market. Think it was lotes design

The IHS started to buckle on the early motherboards but luckily, they never got out

[south arrow]

My 9950x3d on enhancement 1 (90c throttle) i hit 70c under shader comp and under 65c on both gpu and cpu for gaming

[cold skiff]

What is this magical enhancement 1

[south arrow]

Was having my wife test out hogwarts on uktra the other day. That game can eattt

[ionic ember]

Yeah I run a peerless assassin 120 on mine and I can't get it to throttle unless I hit it with prime95 specifically

[south arrow]

Same as eco mode level 1 or gigabytes level 1 just a thermal limit of 90c and allowing the cpu to boost accordingly within that range

Jay actually dropped a vid that goes in depth of all the functions the other day. Wich i can appreciate

[cold skiff]

It was a half video

[terse pewter]

but.. it still benefits from it?

[cold skiff]

He ignored settings he doesn’t understand

[south arrow]

Well tbf 95% of peeps shouldn't play with the other non mentioned functions. Pretty niche

[iron glen]

is IGN a credible source for gaming news?

[cold skiff]

Jay is pushing out so much poor content lately it’s a shame

I understand some is asked for in his discord so, not entirely his choice

[ionic ember]

Like 1-3 degrees maybe?

[south arrow]

Sometimes the things jay and Linus say make me suspect they hang with us in secret

[sleek ibex]

I only watch Jay for whenever Daniel sends him his future products that will later be available in the market

[terse pewter]

still better than 0 degrees

[cold skiff]

Linus alt account is Damocles

[south arrow]

Lmao

[ionic ember]

I watch Jay because I find him to be entertaining

[cold skiff]

That’s why he’s been doing Linux the last 2 months and failing

[south arrow]

Jay's cool I dig his stuff, every once in awhile see something neat

[sleek ibex]

Jay is an unofficial spokesperson for Singularity Computers

[iron glen]

yes, no, maybe?

[south arrow]

Gamer jesus is just losing it today xD

[cold skiff]

On a serious note, Linus could be Damocles in disguise. The content matches up with his discussions

[south arrow]

AMD didnt send that 9950x3d2 and his heart was broke

Soiledddd

[cold skiff]

Imma listen to the vid on my drive home

I can’t wait. He’s such a baby

[kindred halo]

@deep musk guess what!!!! X333

[ionic ember]

Chicken butt

[deep musk]

Whaaaaaaaa?

[kindred halo]

I found a store that doesn't need large downpayments, and does upto 36 months with only 7% yearly interest!!

[iron glen]

bravo

[deep musk]

Ohhhhh nicey

[kindred halo]

I am pretty sure now I can buy a better Legion 5 - a $1,334 one with a 5060, 14700HX, and 1600p OLED :3

Oh btw hruuu????!!

[cold skiff]

That sounds like a nice little laptop

[deep musk]

Am goody, u?

[deep musk]

Niiicey

[kindred halo]

That's great to hear!!!

[kindred halo]

Tyyyyy :3

[kindred halo]

It's pretty decent! 8P + 12E in the 14700HX, 16GB of 5600 CL46, 115W 5060, and a whole 80Wh battery!!

The top shell is aluminium, bottom is PC-ABS + 15% Talc

83LY000LUS is the model number

If possible I am buying it ASAP tomorrow, since I am getting paid later today

[deep musk]

I feel like you might be drooling rn (not saying this in a mean or weird way, juss trying to be funy)

[cold skiff]

It’s a shame laptop memory sucks tbh

Still good enough

[kindred halo]

Mmmm
Maybe LOL
(Not actually though, that's reserved for ThinkPads)

[deep musk]

X3

Facts

[kindred halo]

It kinda has to, with heat issues and such if they use better timings and speeds

[median warren]

He's salivating

[kindred halo]

X33333
Though genuinely this thing is worth drooling over LOL

[deep musk]

Yeah, true

[kindred halo]

It literally has an OLED screen!! The only thing I could complain about is the lack of thunderbolt 4 but that no issue at all!!!

[deep musk]

An oled on a “not 5000$ gaming laptop” is really coolio

[kindred halo]

It issss!!!! Full DCI-P3 colour range and HDR400 at 1600p!!! With a GPU powerful enough to drive that resolution fairly reliably!!!

I am so so so excited I can finally get a laptop soon <3

[deep musk]

When are your stickers and plushie coming?

[kindred halo]

I haven't ordered yet!!!

I don't think I can though, would arouse too much suspicion :<

[deep musk]

Ohhh oki, cause I was gonna say you could stick them on your laptop

[deep musk]

Aawww nuuu >.<

[kindred halo]

I wishhhhh

I was gonna stick them on alongside a few Loona stickers x3

[kindred halo]

One day though, I'll be able to!!

[deep musk]

Yayayayayayayayyaayayay

[kindred halo]

Once I move out atleast-

[deep musk]

Oh

[kindred halo]

Hoping to get the chance to once I am 18, should have atleast 1-3K in cash by then, and I could use education as an excuse to immigrate to Canada

I could also maaaybe manage to get citizenship during my studying there?

With a minimum wage job + the cash I bring I should possibly manage to land on my feet there?

[deep musk]

Yes, which province would you be among for?

[kindred halo]

Unsure, whichever I can get to easiest

Or closest to where I am accepted into uni lol

.. Or where the Canadian government plops me down, too many factors

[deep musk]

Quebec makes you take a French test cause we are meanies (we=the provincial gov) apparently

[kindred halo]

.. I don't speak French at all, except what I picked up locally because french is still a common second language in schools here

You'll find I am more "fluent" in German

Or, well, the main language
English!

[deep musk]

Yeah, all the other provinces are pretty nicey if you don’t speak French

[kindred halo]

Honestly I am just looking for wherever has the cheapest rent / general prices relative to the salaries ~w~

May visit Quebec though, I have a friend there

[stray portal]

French is a nice language its good quebec is preserving it

[median warren]

Bomb France

[deep musk]

Yehsshshshshsh

[kindred halo]

I hope they actually accept me for immigration though >~<

[deep musk]

Ontario can be quite nice, there are a bunch of francoontarien

[median warren]

If they don't you can always illegally smuggle yourself in

[kindred halo]

I don't think they'll actually believe that I am trans and would face prosecution here-

[kindred halo]

Francoontarien?

[exotic cape]

Yeah, fair.

[deep musk]

You should start as soon as you can, it can take from a couple months to five years (really rare tho, and international students have a priority for obvious reasons)

[median warren]

🤝

[deep musk]

French speaking ontarien (people living in Ontario, a mostly english speaking province)

[exotic cape]

France and french is useless, all they are good for is wine and pastries.

[kindred halo]

Well, would be a difficult journey, I need to find an immigration office to talk to first

[median warren]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[deep musk]

We have a website to make it easier (also the fact that liban is at war will help speed up the process)

[exotic cape]

Baguettes and cigarettes

[median warren]

Peugeot, Bugatti

[kindred halo]

@deep musk Lebanon is part of the special measures section!!!

[exotic cape]

Bugatti can stay, I take Peugeot

[deep musk]

Who wouldn’t believe you?

[odd marsh]

What color is your Bugatti

[median warren]

Peugeot used to have good cars, not the case recently

[median warren]

Lmao

[deep musk]

Special as in goody special or bad special?

[deep musk]

No, worst thing to do

[median warren]

I know I know

Do it for the adrenaline

https://tenor.com/view/cave-diver-cave-diver-cave-diving-gif-15292112185201810652

Reminds me of cave divers

[cold skiff]

You never see a fat cave diver

[median warren]

You've got a good point

They're all skinny or lean

[kindred halo]

Special as in they're monitoring the situation and trying to accommodate as many immigrants as they can

[deep musk]

Ohhh so that’s “goody” (parentheses cause of the current situation qwq)

[kindred halo]

Also I took an eligibility test on CanadaVisa+ but I had to put information in questions that were designed for adults

Like
"Have you completed high-school"
"Do you have any secondary education"

Technically no to both

I am still in school and not old enough for uni

[kindred halo]

Yeah I get it lol

Where else can I apply other than CanadaVisa+?

[deep musk]

Not sure, let me check

[deep musk]

You can check this one out https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada.html

[kindred halo]

Oh thank you

[kindred halo]

Okay this is pretty useful information, but I fear that I can't really apply for anything at the moment

At my age I will need a verified custodial figure, and proof that I have enough money to sustain myself in the country.

It's best if I contact an immigration office directly, as there're too many factors for me to reliably check any single box within these forms

Thank you though, your help is really appreciated :>

[rigid fjord]

and making people choke on words

[north hill]

does it look like the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 240 fits in here?

mounts are on the top and side

[daring crystal]

https://www.youtube.com/live/uqFDIR00Mwo?si=fwA0NpI1z8N789bz

[north hill]

@rigid fjord might you know?

[stray portal]

sometimes i just look around the windows and happy

weird that there hasnt been any updates recently

[wispy depot]

hello friends small question, im searching for like a wifi antenna thats compatible with my motherboard (Asrock B560M PRO) cuz i dont have cable, can anyone help me?

[dusk acorn]

Whats worse for the am5 x3d chip, single or four stick of ram?

[deep musk]

guess who's grandma is rocking a t430 with mint on it?

[deep musk]

single

[dusk acorn]

Why do people say 4 stick is bad?

[deep musk]

you can't run them at a high speed

[dusk acorn]

Can I ask what would the difference be between 1 vs 4 stick

[snow cedar]

run 2
its better
idk
most chips may use 2DIMMS per channel (2 channels exist)
thats 2 channels split into two for ram

config is
a1+a2
b1+b2
putting in only 1 stick in each channel gives the best performance

[iron glen]

what do you need help with?
finding the antenna or picking out the best antenna?

[snow cedar]

unless you're memory overclocking or something

[wispy depot]

eyy both if possible, i dont really know what to look for

[iron glen]

yesboss

[rigid fjord]

better chances of a thermalright aio fitting there

[rigid fjord]

4 sticks off ddr5 is going to be the worst any time

[north hill]

cooler arrives today, so...

this case fucking sucks

[stray portal]

Bradar why are you building in that case

[rigid fjord]

4 sticks

[north hill]

13 year old design that still gets sold somehow

[iron glen]

im not sure your motherboard supports that, this is your motherboard, right?

[stray portal]

Yeah having your first case be a stinky one can suck

I didnt get a bad one either but the standoffs broke and it was sad

[rigid fjord]

the issues become, either you get all the capacity but you will never see the advertised xmp profile speed, or you see half the capacity and still don't get the advertised speed

[iron glen]

@rigid fjord is there some way to get antennas on this thing?

also hi

[stray portal]

Cool guys get 1 ram stick and 3 dummy sticks

[rigid fjord]

@wispy depot if this is your mobo, then you don't have antenna's with it, you would need to get one of the wifi upgrade kits

[rigid fjord]

sup, and yes you can, but it means buying an upgrade kit

[iron glen]

oh i figured you can js buy a card for that

or are they the same thing

[rigid fjord]

it has an m.2 slot that's A + E keyed for wifi, you get an ax200/ax201/ax210/be200 kit and install it

[warm saddle]

why?

[deep musk]

Yes, use an m to e or a+e nvme adapter

[rigid fjord]

looks like this as the kit

[deep musk]

Or that

[iron glen]

that is weird looking

[rigid fjord]

nope, there is a specific slot for the m.2 wifi card to go in straight away

[deep musk]

Yeah, didn’t see that

[rigid fjord]

wifi cards nowadays are just a pcie to m.2 slot adapter with this fitted in

[iron glen]

wish the guy would respond ngl
i dont even know if thats his motherboard
jus the first thing that popped up when i searched "asrock b560m pro"

maybe he has the same motherboard as me and can have wifi antennas

[deep musk]

Not all of them, I have a bunch of pcie wifi cards that aren’t simply an m.2 adapter

[rigid fjord]

most of them are, the wifi card itself being hidden under the heatsink

like this

[deep musk]

One of mine: https://www.amazon.ca/TP-Link-AC600-PCIe-Archer-T2E/dp/B094T99RZ4/ref=asc_df_B094T99RZ4?mcid=1a2eb420699a3971a8d4ea32d02f1ebb&tag=googlemobshop-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=706841714549&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6962501961763342244&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9061030&hvtargid=pla-1394022098366&psc=1&hvocijid=6962501961763342244-B094T99RZ4-&hvexpln=0&gad_source=1

So, as previously stated, I have a bunch of “true” pcie wifi cards

[iron glen]

no offense but that looks like the same thing without the wires to me

[deep musk]

It basically is but it’s in another form factor

[iron glen]

oh

[gilded harness]

man i want this type of case again

unfortunately i couldnt find one that supports 360mm aio

or i havent dig deep enough

[deep musk]

The thermaltake armor lcs might fit one, it came with a 240 rad from the factory

It won’t be perfect but it might

[rigid fjord]

it kinda is, but also, if the mobo already has a m.2 slot for it specifically, take advantage of it

[gilded harness]

hmm interesting

my option rn is the um meshify 2 xl

[iron latch]

Hey guys buying a new cable for my aw3225qf (4k 240hz, qd-oled) my aw3225qf does 240hz but when I look at cables online they all claim like max only 120hz to 144hz at 4k

[plain cypress]

Displayport cable?

[iron latch]

yeah dp 1.4 dsc cable

[rigid fjord]

so you're after a newer spec'd DP cable then

[north hill]

i don't know...

[rigid fjord]

tbf that case is a perfect homebrew nas case

[plain cypress]

It should work if it isn't like the cheapest thing

[iron latch]

Im after a good quality one for my dp 1.4 for my aw3225qf cause my kitty chewed my other one that came with withe monitor xD

[north hill]

so is there any way of cramming that radiator in?

[rigid fjord]

time to lean to use some cable trunking

[plain cypress]

4k240 over DP1.4 (what the monitor supports) is doable using DSC

[rigid fjord]

removal of the optical drive tbh

[iron latch]

is that like cable hiding?

[rigid fjord]

yes

[plain cypress]

So you don't have to shell out for a UHBR20 or whatever cable
But don't get the $3.99 cable either

[rigid fjord]

if animal can't get at cable, cable no get destroyed

[north hill]

i believe it's riveted on

[iron latch]

I was looking at Club 3D from amazon

[rigid fjord]

it's not, it's using toolless mounting

literally twist and it puls off

[iron latch]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Club3D-CAC-2068-DisplayPort-Cable-6-56ft/dp/B0767F5DNR?th=1 something like this would deliver 4k 240hz over DSC?

[north hill]

wait, so you're saying that i shove it in there?

[plain cypress]

UK link rip

Yeah that's probably fine

[empty quartz]

Ngl, this trip in mexico that im on has shown me how dumb some americans are

[plain cypress]

Plus it's amazon so if it's flakey it is pretty easy to get your money back

[rigid fjord]

optical drive is going to be in the way of mounting the aio

[iron latch]

yeah sadly haha

[north hill]

plenty of room below it

[iron latch]

wait so uk link didn't open for you?

[tidal geyser]

poggers

[plain cypress]

I don't bother on mobile

[iron latch]

ah okey

[plain cypress]

Once the Amazon app got stuck in UK mode and it was annoying to find the switch back to Us mode

[rigid fjord]

arctic lf2, same rad same thickness of fan, still results in the optical drive having to be moved

the pump is what differs when it comes to the lf3

[north hill]

i mean the optical drive bay cannot be removed

[rigid fjord]

i said the drive itself not the bay ffs

[north hill]

and then where does the AIO get mounted?

[rigid fjord]

how can drive = bay ffs

[north hill]

i am very confused

[rigid fjord]

in the top of the case

rad mounts to the top naturally, and the pump gets mounted over the cpu

[north hill]

idk if theres enough clearance

might hit the RAM or mobo IO cover

[rigid fjord]

you'll have to see for that, the only clearance issue with be the vrm heatsink nothing else

[north hill]

it won't fit

man, who the hell decided that this case should still be manufactured and sold?

guess i need a new case then...

[deep musk]

Not all cases are designed to fit an aio

[north hill]

i have a terrible idea, but it might work for a bit

ziptie (or screw) the cooler into the right vent from the outside

i won't be able to have the side panel, but it will be mounted

just realized, are the WiFi antenna connectors meant to be bent like that?

[deep musk]

Yes, it’s so you can screw the antenna to them

[north hill]

so they're supposed to be angled downward?

[deep musk]

Ohhh that, idk, maybe, but it shouldn’t cause any issues

[snow cedar]

looks like your motherboard is not correctly screwed in
or your io shield is bent/ incorrectly mounted

[north hill]

something is wrong with this board

maybe that's why it's an open-box...

everything has gone wrong and i just don't know what to do now

[snow cedar]

might just require a spacer to fix this
seems to be an easy fix

[north hill]

case sucks, mobo may be defective, like, i don't have the money for this shit

oh yeah, the mobo is stuck in the case now cuz one of the spacers came loose

[snow cedar]

i suggest removing the motherboard
reseating it int he case

and keep the pc on a hard stable surface when you do so
doing it on a soft surface can also make it sit wonky if not correctly screwed in

[north hill]

it doesn't fit in the case

shield mounts collide with the case

[snow cedar]

hmm

can you show me the clearance
i wonder..... what can be done

[north hill]

an entirely new case

it fucking sucks

[south arrow]

Lian li 217, cooler master td500 v2 is good

[north hill]

2012 design that has been changed maybe twice

[south arrow]

Lots of space for activities

Of if just needing to put your aio in and it doesnt fit put it on top of the case

Not pretty but works

[deep musk]

New as in condition or new as in newly designed

[north hill]

both

[snow cedar]

sometimes you might get good deals of facebook marketplace
if you can post a few cases you choose, we can take a look for potential red flags, and help you out

[south arrow]

If one must

[snow cedar]

oh lol

aio on top

[south arrow]

I accidently ordered a 420mm and just sent it, said frig it

[north hill]

mobo still isn't mounted right

on mine

and there is literally no way of fixing it

[sharp ivy]

beautiful cable management or lack thereof

[north hill]

unless i remove the IO shield, which i don't know if i can do

[craggy cove]

it took me 3 hours to repaste and clean this gpu 🧠

[south arrow]

A local tech store may also install all the parts for 100$ or so inflation may have made it go up

[craggy cove]

i blame gigabytes weird ass shroud mounting mechanism not myself

[south arrow]

It was long ago

Just after this one

[snow cedar]

i mean
eh your radiator is easier to clean now

[craggy cove]

but hell yeah this 65€ 2060 super works

[limber tusk]

yoo guys, if someone can maybe help me really quick giving me his opinion #1496214743134769325

[snow cedar]

woah
thats a nice deal yo

[north hill]

i guess the question now is: can i run it without a case?

[craggy cove]

idk find one on sale and check psu tier list

[craggy cove]

there is always money for tech deals

[snow cedar]

what is that vga cable pluugeed into
air 👀
air gotta stream fps

[north hill]

until i can find a good one ofc

[craggy cove]

pigtail

[limber tusk]

yeah i'm following that one rn
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/htmlview#gid=931697732

[south arrow]

Then we had the 4080 super duos, was a fun time. Gas was cheap crypto was boomin

[limber tusk]

yoo btw i've got 4 brand new 4090 which got their ram and gpu haversted how much do u think i can sell it ?

[rigid fjord]

btw my case is from like 2010

[limber tusk]

like they are really brand new still got the plastic wrap on it and stuff

[craggy cove]

https://www.newegg.com/sama-p-series-atx-3-1-compatible-1200-w-80-plus-platinum-certified-power-supplies-p1200w-black/p/1HU-02S6-00072?item=1HU-02S6-00072

[limber tusk]

sama ?

[iron latch]

@plain cypress sorry again, but for my aw3225qf would you rec 1.4 dp or 2.1hdmi?

[limber tusk]

never heard of them

[craggy cove]

they make cases usually but its a tier, the oem is different anyway

odm idk

the factory that actually makes the thing

[rigid fjord]

it's not brand new at that point, and a gibbs slap is what you'd deserve for trying to sell them

[craggy cove]

man this 2060 super is so much quieter and cooler than my shitty old gainward lol

[deep musk]

You can pay people to take them

Im down to take one from you if you give me 50 CAD

[north hill]

guess mine is just terrible...

[deep musk]

How much was it and what’s the brand?

[craggy cove]

3 hours to clean and repaste but man it was worth it (im probably gonna sell it anyway)

[limber tusk]

j'suis de france donc ca sera pas donnée
l'envoie XD

[rigid fjord]

as for psu choice, montech or corsair have good 1200w psu's

[north hill]

$84.99 in 2023 and it's a Cooler Master N400

[limber tusk]

it's some gigabyte gaming oc 24gb

[north hill]

yes, i have had some of these parts since 2023

[rigid fjord]

rule #10

[true adder]

No not anymore he left

[deep musk]

Ayt, je t’en prend une si tu paye le shipping (no way que je paye pour une carcasse de 4090)

[limber tusk]

sowy

[deep musk]

Aren’t these made for nas?

[north hill]

tbh, i don't know

i can't resell it anymore

[rigid fjord]

nope but it's ideal for it

[north hill]

it just exists

[limber tusk]

go dm

[north hill]

y'know what, i'll run it for now and get a better case later

[deep musk]

We see the baby’s face you could have at least censored it for their privacy

[north hill]

AIO goes on top lmaoooo

[deep musk]

Yeah, like a lot of cases??

[north hill]

no no, on top

on top of the case

makes me think of this

[daring crystal]

Forgot my gf was texting me mb.

[north hill]

jank is who i am, so it will BE jank

[deep musk]

Don’t worry

Just be careful

[grizzled frost]

replace duck tape with gaff tape, and replace hammer with the nearest object that even remotely resembles a hammer, and it's perfect

[latent gull]

yes, yes, hammer is far too small

[grizzled frost]

wrenches make the best hammers

[latent gull]

when your in that stage, need something much heavier

[north hill]

BEEG hamer

[stone gazelle]

ok chat how do i merge these together?

[grizzled frost]

right click on the formatted space, select expand

[stone gazelle]

all it says when i right click is a button for help

rn the smaller spaces came as a result of cloning another old drive i had into this one

[grizzled frost]

These should be your options

[stone gazelle]

i'm telling you it's just this

[grizzled frost]

oh cause it's a protected partition

[plain cypress]

Monitors -> DP
TVs -> HDMI

[stone gazelle]

ok so what do i do

[craggy cove]

real professional

wtf do the fans even do except sag it?

[kindred talon]

@craggy cove im buying the ice v2 ptfe viper v3 skates from ur advice , i hope ts is good as the stocks 🙏

[grizzled frost]

you get real familiar with the command line

[molten patrol]

why is the 2 fans above the gpu

[craggy cove]

i had the v1 and they were better than my steelseries ones, gl

[craggy cove]

who knows

intakes from the backplate

[molten patrol]

might be some top tier engineering ig 🤔

[craggy cove]

sucks the heat right out idfk

[stone gazelle]

any tips? im genuinely losing my mind

[kindred talon]

thats a good sign, thanks 👍

[deep musk]

Use google on how to do stuff in the cli and practice

[stone gazelle]

💔 🥀

[grizzled frost]

Open a command line as an administrator,
Type: diskpart
Identify the disk by then saying: list disk
Select the disk: select disk [number]
List partitions: list partition
select the partition: select partition [number]
then extend partition: try extend size=, if that doesn't work then do extend size=5589020

Bear in mind it is quite easy to permanently destroy your data on the partition

[stone gazelle]

i just figured out and nuked it lmao

i still got the og cloned files so eh

[grizzled frost]

bro tells me this after i make a step by step guide

[stone gazelle]

i tried those steps bc i saw them online and shi still didnt work

no choice

[restive plinth]

Is Bitlocker or something enabled?

[stone gazelle]

no and that's what got me so confused

[grizzled frost]

Protected partition, not an encrypted partition

[kindred talon]

@craggy cove Hi there i just wanted to ask how u change skates out cuz i got this mouse with the skates already as i mentioned earlier

[stone gazelle]

should i just ctrl+x everything from the old drive to the new one now?

[grizzled frost]

Rip the fucker off, then throw the new one on

[stone gazelle]

proilly gonna sell it

[grizzled frost]

(they just use adhesive)

[kindred talon]

sounds about right 👍

[restive plinth]

Ahh okay
Does it have something to do with MBR and GPT?

[kindred talon]

i hear conflicting opinions saying use thiis method use that to not damage it

at this point idk what to follow

[grizzled frost]

maybe, idk

[grizzled frost]

you can use a bit of solvent to loosen the adhesive

Iso should work well

[restive plinth]

Is your PC still working?
You can probably format it again and use that space to play a 500GB game or something

[kindred talon]

would it reach it tho?

[stone gazelle]

all my SATA ports are already in use :(

also not doing gaming with HDDs

just for mass storage

[restive plinth]

ahh
I had the same issue in my home PC
I still have a CD drive at home for some reason, so I just disconnected that and I'm using a 2TB one for storing old pictures and stuff

[grizzled frost]

there's cracks

[glacial cliff]

Making progress on my work/school desk setup

[modest flame]

So my AIO pump's RGB lighting wont turn on since I swapped PSUs, but all my fans' lighting is working

You think maybe I knocked a header loose?

[deep musk]

Maybe

[fringe prairie]

new framework is actually pretty solid if you buy ram and ssd from somewhere else

[modest flame]

The pump itself is absolutely still working. If the AIO wasn't functioning, my i9-12900KF and all of its 240w of glory wouldve made that clear VERY quickly while I was gaming last night

[fringe prairie]

i’m a fan

[deep musk]

Rgb headers are different than the pump/fan ones

[modest flame]

It probably can't be the SATA connector

Since the other RGB is working

So it probably has to be a header, maybe knocked loose while I was plugging cables into the PSU

I'll reseat the headers on the controller and see if that does anything

[hexed tapir]

Water damage box is vibes

[latent gull]

monitors VGA

[kindred talon]

sounds good then, and then wipe it down again before installation im assuming?

[grizzled frost]

Mhm

let it dry fully before installation

[carmine yew]

eww analog

It annoys me that servers haven't changed to DP yet, and most still have fuckin' VGA ports

[kindred talon]

appreciate it 👍

[empty quartz]

Im glad i brought my 1tb micro sd

[grizzled frost]

cause it just works

[latent gull]

honestly i kinda love it cause vga just works. and every monitor in a workplace just has a vga on it, instead of trying to figure out which ports each monitor does or doesnt have, and which adapaters you need

[grizzled frost]

DP you have to faff about, VGA just fucking works

[latent gull]

honestly trying to set up peoples offices who primarily use laptops now is so fucking annoying, cause you never know what the USB ports actually support, and most laptops only have usb at this point

[carmine yew]

I've never had to faff with DP, assuming the cable wasn't bad

It's a server, it'll be DP 1.4 or 1.2 which every cable supports, and then you're just done

[latent gull]

only faffing about ive had to do with displayport is with adapters, cause sometimes the computer doesnt have it, sometimes the monitor doesnt have it

[deep musk]

Someone tried to argue that we could run out of ipv6 addresses due to “ai scams” and “virtual machines spoofing their ip”

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-sigh-gif-5895699729383201961

Im gonna crabs tf out

[carmine yew]

I mean: In theory it's potentially possible....

In reality, I don't think anything could possibly spin up that many fake instances of things at all

[deep musk]

Didn’t meant to say crab but fuck it im tolking either it

[rigid fjord]

vga can usually drama queen from time to time

[deep musk]

How are we even gonna use 2^(64) machines (virtual included) (the better notation;)

[carmine yew]

nobody said anything about USING
Just making up enough bullshit instances to soak IPs

[deep musk]

*at the same time

[carmine yew]

also: 2^32 is IPV4 not IPV6

[deep musk]

Yeah, but it would take so much dedication that it’s pretty impossible

[deep musk]

Woups, yeah, im a dumass

[hard parrot]

hmm, number

[deep musk]

Biiig number

[hard parrot]

I wonder whether it tastes like chocolate ice cream

[deep musk]

Huh?

[carmine yew]

it's definitely pistachio flavored

[hard parrot]

chocolate 💘

[deep musk]

Oh oki

[hard parrot]

mmm, pistacho ice cream

Y'all even wonder whether it's possible to ever be able to turn an atom of an X element into a Y element
I mean, in theory... That's probably possible, in the end, elements are just a bunch of tiny lego bricks so

[left dove]

apache request log

I am sent

[hard parrot]

For me it's only Telegram, Discord, and technically TikTok

[deep musk]

That’s called alchemy and it’s pretty impossible

[left dove]

I think you need to take an elective in chemistry kiddo

[hard parrot]

Imagine some centuries in future some scientist pulls a prank on his buddy and turns their device CPU into wood and then just "April fools!"

[left dove]

that..

what?

you can do that now

[hard parrot]

I mean literal wood

[deep musk]

For centuries people tried to turn lead into gold, never worked, never will

[left dove]

yeah you can put literal wood in a cpu socket

[deep musk]

They meant, by changing the atoms

[hard parrot]

No no I mean literally change the structue of CPU for it to turn into carbon rather than silica

[left dove]

I'm aware

Yes I am aware

but that's literally never going to be a thing lmao

reality isn't hogwarts lol

[deep musk]

Yeah, it’s called alchemy

[carmine yew]

That's called alchemy, and it's been done, but it's entirely impractical

[deep musk]

And it’s impossible

[hard parrot]

Cool

[carmine yew]

It's not impossible, it's actually been done.
They've turned Lead into Gold, IIRC with the Hadron

[left dove]

in the tiniest amounts ever, yes

[deep musk]

Not really, you need a particules accelerator and you can’t change anything into anything

[hard parrot]

yeah I know the world isn't hogwarts

[carmine yew]

https://www.home.cern/news/news/physics/alice-detects-conversion-lead-gold-lhc

[left dove]

and like i posted earlier, you can't just modify an atom's nucleus without creating some whack-ass unstable isotope

[deep musk]

Doing it one atom at a time is still considered impossible tbh

[left dove]

possible yes, practical no

[carmine yew]

It's been done. Full stop.

THEY DID IT.

[hard parrot]

I mean, it's practical if you're bored and wanna do something useless and cool

[left dove]

..

[hard parrot]

Only for that tho

for now

[deep musk]

Fuck the clankers, my body’s atoms are gonna be light years apart before I even begin to think about considering this shit “sentient”

[carmine yew]

reverse that, it cost many times more to get the output than it would have been to purchase the actual material

[left dove]

yes let me just go 10 stories down in the basement to my private particle accelerator

[hard parrot]

Yea exactly

[left dove]

Hhhhh.

[deep musk]

So you have a particules accelerator at home lying around?

[hard parrot]

lemme check

a bb gun doesn't count

[deep musk]

“Fork found in the kitchen” (trying to be funy, not a meany)

[deep musk]

Nor does a real gun, or hotwheel tracks

[carmine yew]

What about my hot wheels track with 2 dozen car boosters in a circle?

[left dove]

No.

well, maybe

[deep musk]

The speed boosters are capped

[stray portal]

Yes but way more expensive than the resulting gold is worth

[left dove]

yeah until you overvolt them

[stray portal]

Just watched a video on this lol

[hard parrot]

I mean, it does accelarate particles in a way

[carmine yew]

you can fix that with voltage

[deep musk]

Then they melt

[left dove]

not neccessarily

[carmine yew]

eventually yup

[deep musk]

Not even close

[left dove]

that's what pwm is for

[hard parrot]

How did my one single question start a discussion

[carmine yew]

we already covered that

[carmine yew]

bored nerds do shit

[deep musk]

You think those cheap ass motors have pwm?

[left dove]

help im back on my distributed multi voltage dc bus system bullshit again

[hard parrot]

Cool shit

[left dove]

you can still do pwm on dc.

[hexed tapir]

CAT

[left dove]

you know, pulsing the power

[kindred halo]

Who up accelerating they particle

[hard parrot]

I have a cat actually
I can upload in pets

[left dove]

at certain widths of a frame of time

kinda modulated by a controller of some sort

[hard parrot]

me

[carmine yew]

this is what I wake up to most mornings:

[deep musk]

Wait, yeah but at this point you should still get better motors, the little tiny one are too flimsy

[left dove]

That's not the pointtttt

[carmine yew]

that ain't love.

That's him psychicly screaming: "Hey, Fuckface! FEED ME NAO!"

[hard parrot]

not same :(

Oh my god why are they all stretched wtf

[deep musk]

Yes it is, even if you pulse the signal in a cheapo 5 volt motor, it’s gonna clap the floor real fast, no matter how fast the pulse is

[left dove]

More cat.

[hard parrot]

ok I'mma allow myself to send a cat too

[left dove]

look its me irl

[hard parrot]

just a quick question, how y'all would rate my capability of speaking in English

[left dove]

fine?

[carmine yew]

.... is this what we've come to today?
Do people actually think shit like this is real!??!

[hard parrot]

I'mma count that as a 8

[left dove]

yes

people are that fucking stupid, tk

you should know this by now

[carmine yew]

I do. Why have we not kicked off the nuclear winter yet?

[hard parrot]

Wait, what? You lying

[deep musk]

Alrighty time to make logic tests mandatory

[grizzled frost]

Logic tests never go well

[left dove]

somewhat rare genetic bloodtype mutation =/= aliens

[carmine yew]

something something.... green eyes?

[deep musk]

A basic one, one as dumb as “am I an alien if my blood is different yes or no?” If they say yes, then idk, they get a sticker they can put on their laptop or something idk

[grizzled frost]

The issue is that precedent that sets, it opens the door for more discriminatory logic tests

[deep musk]

Damn, forgor that, hmmmm, let me thimks

[carmine yew]

From Mile 4 of the Boston Marathon yesterday:

[hard parrot]

his back is not covered tho 🫪

[carmine yew]

minor detail

[deep musk]

You look backward when running?

[pulsar root]

With the new CEO, how do you guys think the company will move forward? Get worse or better, what say?

[latent gull]

no context of which ceo or company and also asking for a prediction of the future, what a message

[craggy cove]

tim apple?

[deep musk]

Probably apple

[fringe prairie]

probably apple lol

[latent gull]

and your predictions of the future?

[craggy cove]

anyways i love ptm7950

[deep musk]

I don’t give a shit about apple 🗣️

[hard parrot]

No no, it's simpier than that, I don't love to run
not because I want him to drop the sign, my legs simply hurt when I do for long

[iron glen]

Hi http

[craggy cove]

hello

[deep musk]

Ohhhhh

[craggy cove]

how did the thing go

[pulsar root]

Yes I meant Apple

[latent gull]

...then dont respond?

[iron glen]

Not bad

[deep musk]

When’s the newer, more secure version of you dropping?

[pulsar root]

I think it’s interesting they have a lead engineer as the new ceo

[hard parrot]

BUT if I were running, bro, I'd look back just for fun

[craggy cove]

when nova lake gets launched and intel has the best gaming cpu again

[deep musk]

X3 alrighty

[iron glen]

It was pretty easy, the hardest lart was the reading and bullshitting the entire essay

Im scared to think about the next one

Math 😨

[craggy cove]

2-3 years doing old versions of it and forget

in dagestan preferably

[hard parrot]

how old are you? (I'm not asking because of your fear of math)

[iron glen]

16
And im not afraid of math im afraid of the math final

[craggy cove]

is ezpz

[hard parrot]

Oh we're close in age, I'm 15 this year :D

[deep musk]

[stray portal]

What is a Geometric average

[iron glen]

Idfk dude

[iron glen]

I know what an arithmetic average is

Or how do you spell it

[stray portal]

Recently ive realised that education in other places stinks

[iron glen]

Same

[stray portal]

European school systems are more advanced than non eu or even american counter parts

[carmine yew]

given the fact that the new Neo is likely to become a MASSIVE hit in huge swaths of the market?
I think a new CEO's going to have an easy time keeping things going

[stray portal]

We learn things earlier and better

[craggy cove]

the french one seems like hell tho

[iron glen]

Today was a final, i did it. It was not difficult. People complaining about it are outing themselves as illiterate and unimaginative

[hard parrot]

You mean like:
X average = (x+...+x) ÷ amount of x

[deep musk]

“Fork found in the kitchen”

[craggy cove]

(me)

though i got like 75 in estonian, 90 in math and 99 in english iirc

[iron glen]

Yes

[hard parrot]

Not sure but I think that slavic non-eu are harder (Post soviet)

[craggy cove]

the 10 i lost in math was me being lazy

[pulsar root]

Yeah though I wonder if he has a mission to make more affordable products in future or focused on making more money

[iron glen]

My practices were 72 in Estonian, 10 in math (forgot my calculator) and 94 in english

[hard parrot]

What grading system do y'all have exactly?

[craggy cove]

u get 20 points for writing ur name and date correctly

[hard parrot]

Forgot the date, hm?

[deep musk]

You the 10 points that @craggy cove lost in math

[stray portal]

A geometric average is radical of a times b

[iron glen]

Usually you get a number from 1-5
1 being the worst and 5 being the best
But finals are in %

[craggy cove]

exams are 1-100, schools can use both numbers 1-5 (usually) and letters too

[iron glen]

Lol

[stray portal]

Yes former eastern bloc countries

[craggy cove]

idk some stupid stuff i dont remember

[iron glen]

My bum ass friend forgot his ID and phone at home so he couldn't write his social security number or whatever it is on the paper

[craggy cove]

you have that on the bus card too like bruh

i have that memorized because of smart id

[iron glen]

Do you?

[craggy cove]

well i suppose the designs are different but here we do

hm

[iron glen]

Ik its something something my birthday something something

[hard parrot]

In Ukraine we got 1-12 (I think that you can get 0/12, but not sure)
For exams... If school, then I think it's also 1-12, but an exam we call ZNO (I think) it's... 1-200? Not sure, I'm in 8th grade so I can't be a fully reliable source (Oh and we have 12 grades in school)

[deep musk]

1-200??? Whaaat? Qwq

[stray portal]

In romania we just have 1-10 and then in exams 1-100

[craggy cove]

why 12 lol

[iron glen]

We have 9, you have to study until you're 18 (until grade 12) since last year though
Before it was your choice to keep studying or become some street rat

[iron glen]

Probably a remnant from the USSR

here were technically 2 schools but you just graduated one and they instantly accepted you to the next if you were a local

[iron glen]

Still are, but now you actually have to be smart to get in

[craggy cove]

i legit forgot to apply to any other schools except the one i alr went to

that couldve ended horribly but i got in pretty easily

[stray portal]

Primary and secondary?

[iron glen]

I have applied to everywhere else but the local one

[hard parrot]

Exactly the same in Ukraine
Somewhere around 2018 we had a full education renovation and called it "Нова Українська Школа" (New Ukrainian School), and it introduced the new 12 grade system (it was 11 before so on average you left the school at 17)
Guess what? I got into school right when the new system was adapted :D

[iron glen]

I think so

[hard parrot]

my bad, just read if you're not lazy:

[stray portal]

I forgot google ai mode even exists i just use gemini

[hard parrot]

Pre 2018: 11 grades, can leave in 9th grade
After 2018: The same but now there's 12 grades

[torn girder]

isn't google's ai mode basically just gemini?

[iron glen]

It is gemini iirc

[deep musk]

Yep

[hard parrot]

I use it rarely too, it just usually gives a nice summary

[iron glen]

I even have it built into my phone

[torn girder]

I miss samsung's bixby tbh

[stray portal]

No, Google AI Mode and Gemini are not the same. Google AI Mode is a feature within Google Search that provides conversational, AI-powered answers, while Gemini is a more advanced AI model that powers various Google applications, including AI Mode.

[hard parrot]

Xiaomi?

[iron glen]

Nothing

[iron glen]

Pretty colors

[stray portal]

Bixby is still around but its really dumb

[hard parrot]

Oh
Well just gonna say that I also have it built in, POCO F7

[deep musk]

Ew

[torn girder]

uhhh... actually maybe they're different then?

[hard parrot]

Btw what do y'all think my name is (Really hard question)

[deep musk]

Don’t dox yourself

[iron glen]

I think its one of those "well yes, but no" things

[stray portal]

Why is gemini not avalible in romanian smh it can speak it

[hard parrot]

you can't do much with a first name

[valid fiber]

there goes my ram

[torn girder]

ayo real quick, has anyone here purchased a microcenter bundle

[deep musk]

Still not a great idea to just throw it around

[iron glen]

Unless your name is Gay Bowser

[deep musk]

I have purchased a couple of Canada computer bundle (basically the same thing)

[torn girder]

going tomorrow to get the 7800X3D bundle, but like... that "same" bundle was $499 with a B650 and Crucial ram. Now that bundle is $599 with a B850E and Corsair RGB ram. Is the $100 difference real worth it since it's a better motherboard and "technically" more expensive ram?

[stray portal]

Nvm it is avalible

But google assistant doesnt work for some reason? I swear it used to

[hard parrot]

y tho

[stray portal]

I hate companies that do this, like theyll happily take our money and spread their platforms here but wont properly support our language and region

[deep musk]

If you will take advantage of the features of the “better” mobo, yes if not, not really

[deep musk]

Cause it’s not a good thing to do

[torn girder]

here's the fun part, $699 gets me a X870, I would love to run a dual gpu pc again

[deep musk]

Ohhhh nicey, might be worth it then

[hard parrot]

Wait, now, I am NOT fucking kidding, my step-grandma was working in a tax thingy, and literally had a guy with a last name... "p#dor", which is an insult in Russian/Ukrainian/Etc. for a gay person (not exclusively towards them, can be used as a regular insult too)

[torn girder]

Hare reddit sometimes... there's so many instances of a 7800X3D bundle being cheaper than I'd thought

[craggy cove]

isnt x870 like b650e now

[iron glen]

I know what it means
Didnt know its a last name tho lmao

[deep musk]

Kinda, but it’s in the bundle so might as well

[torn girder]

Ok for reference, this is the current price and the motherboard upgrade

[craggy cove]

oh x870e

[hard parrot]

Poor guy was old enough to change it and yet he was walking around with it 😭
Either he doesn't care, or it's on purpose

[craggy cove]

well if you actually use it but stuff like fps will be the same

[deep musk]

Sell the mobo you won’t use (if you don’t need it as a backup or for another system)

[hard parrot]

And yet I'm refusing to elaborate and my nickname is ny name

:)

[torn girder]

they are all the exact same motherboard type, same ram and same cpu, but wildly different prices.

I really hope that yk... the $699 bundle is actually worth it hen

[hard parrot]

yoinks the bundle because holy cheap

[torn girder]

yeah that's fair too

[craggy cove]

well try to get the cheap price ig

no hurry with purchases

[torn girder]

tbh the ram alone is like $400

[craggy cove]

eh

[torn girder]

correction: I still hate AI

[hard parrot]

If you bought the same components but separately it'd be 1000 bucks (For me, at least)

GIMME THAT!!

[deep musk]

Me running a triple gpu setup in my server

[torn girder]

according to microcenter's stock, looks like it's $369.99 for the ram, so a whole ass 7800X3D (About $340) and an X870 (about $290) doesn't seem that bad

[deep musk]

(It’s a b550 board)

[torn girder]

wait what how are you running triple on an AM4

do you even have an SSD installed

[deep musk]

Yep

[hard parrot]

why is your nickname French

what a question huh

[deep musk]

The primary is in the first x16 slot, all the other stuff is in the x1 slots (unfortunately they didn’t put more lanes through the chipset (there’s a version of that board made by asus with at least one x4 slot instead of a x1)) (all of the slots uses a x16 physical slot but all of them except one are wired in x1)

[torn girder]

oh no wonder why, you're using the baby slots

[deep musk]

I’m Québécoise

[hard parrot]

i knew it

:D

[grizzled frost]

So the slightly better version of french
