[exotic cape]

fancy

[median warren]

Oh that makes sense

I shan't ever trust an autonomous vehicles

[latent gull]

......trains?

[exotic cape]

those suck

[latent gull]

sounds like thats a your notifications issue

[exotic cape]

its actually from Torky

[median warren]

Torky?

[exotic cape]

turkey

i found one in the wild

[median warren]

That god damn bus

[exotic cape]

thats the auto bus yeah

[median warren]

Hate it

[exotic cape]

its so tiny and cute

[latent gull]

is it at least electric?

...theyre called E-atak?

[exotic cape]

most likely

[latent gull]

no, they are

[exotic cape]

yep, EV

all licenseplates in norway that start with E is an EV

[median warren]

Good to know

[thorny saddle]

tc1 wtf

[deep musk]

What do you mean?

Tc1

[shadow condor]

What’s a great way to store photos easily me and my wife use iPhones but she sends a ton of snaps every day of our family what’s the best place to store these photos instead of our saved chat on snap

[ivory mountain]

WWW my dad got me airpod pro 3’s

[grizzled frost]

probably a couple hard drives in a raid array

[shadow condor]

ty brothaaaaaaaa

[forest lotus]

What shall I do with it I do not know

[deep musk]

Home server time

[jaunty apex]

Keychain

[forest lotus]

Home server part two time

I already have one.

[deep musk]

✨ Redundancy✨

[forest lotus]

Nah I'll probably put it to work as a Mc server unit or something

A xeon would be massively overkill to do network routing and stuff

A 2600k is already fairly overkill at that

I dont think of actually have enough networking traffic to even come close saturating half that CPU

[sharp ivy]

dear goodness no

new vex game dropped

[flat cliff]

Not gonna complain because dbrand, they sent me a replacement case (kickstand broke) and I think used priority shipping on a backordered product.

That said the micro fiber cloth got creased in shipping, is there a good way to uncrease it or something?

[grizzled frost]

how OCD are you

[flat cliff]

I'm not diagnosed but I may have that.

[deep musk]

You 100% def are ocd

[gleaming rose]

i was about to say like damn are you going to store it flat the whole time you have it?

[flat cliff]

I know I have ADHD at least and I'm prob on the spectrum (not diagnosed but my twin brother is but he is high functioning enough you can't just tell and I'm higher then him I think he had stuff at birth I didn't).

Maybe I also have some OCD as well.

[deep musk]

If you’re “true” twins you very probably are on the spectrum

[flat cliff]

Yeah we are identical and I've had enough people online ask me if I am. That said my parents always said that he had some birth problems neither of the rest of us (I'm a triplet) had and the reason we all were born early.

[deep musk]

(Autism isn’t caused by birth conditions or something like that, it’s genetically related)

[flat cliff]

But this is a bit TMI here.

[deep musk]

TMI?

[flat cliff]

I thought it was both idk, all I know is the same place that diagnosed the both of us with ADHD diagnosed him with autism.

[deep musk]

Yeah it’s unknown for the complete set of reasons for autism but it’s not due to something “physical” like missing air at birth or something like that

[fickle ivy]

Upgraded my masking tape to packing tape

[plain cypress]

Posts like that remind me why I'm happy to be an adult with money

[azure topaz]

yeah

[fickle ivy]

I honestly can't complain I got a new camera lens for free earlier

[bold olive]

your stayin till i damage you

[deep musk]

[maiden shuttle]

i paid for the whole laptop, im going to use the whole laptop

[deep musk]

[azure topaz]

why?

[empty quartz]

You’re not using the whole laptop

[deep musk]

Im sorry, are you raid zeroing that ssd with that hdd?

[maiden shuttle]

it says Raid, but its not using raid

its shitting itself

[deep musk]

Oh oki, was scared a bit

[empty quartz]

I paid for the ram, im gonna use the ram

[flat cliff]

I mean I know like at birth specifically idk let's just say there were 3 of us 2 of us developed fine the third one was why all of us got born early for a number of reasons and he had problems.

But enough about that this is not the right server to get into this. If I am on the spectrum its not as much as him because my parents visibly don't worry as much less people have made comments and the same place that diagnosed us both with ADHD (and we both went to the same appointments) diagnosed him with autism. That's all I know that and he is defiantly high functioning enough you can't tell from first impressions or anything. I don't worry about it or sweat it to to much even if some things I wished were changed. (I've tried so many medications the doctors just said look they don't worry on you, sorry to say it but you just gotta live with it and power though it man it rough).

That's all I have to say about it this is a tech server anyways.

So I'm done with the topic.

[deep musk]

Oki doki

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

[bold olive]

clumsy me doesn't want to bang on the tv

or scratch it while moving crap

[azure topaz]

so don’t. what does the plastic film that makes it look bad have to do with it

[deep musk]

I thought it was a leash

[flat cliff]

Its not that I don't like talking about it I just don't think this is the right server you know?

[deep musk]

Yeah, of course, no worries, I 100% understands

[fickle ivy]

I kinda paid for the whole laptop so I'm gonna kinda fully use the laptop

[flat cliff]

Do wish the meds worked though, been through enough the doctor just said look we can keep trying but I think you just don't respond to them. Its just rough.

[deep musk]

I had to have an adult dose when I was 8-10 for them to work, never really went up much since then (im not telling you to do this, I had to stay at the hospital for a week and they were monitoring every single best of my heart, I don’t ever regret doing that a single bit tho)

[flat cliff]

Maybe, I tried 3-4 when I was in elementary school and then higher doses in highschool of 1-3 other meds and still nothing. I could keep trying but its so slim odds...

[deep musk]

Yeah I feel you, there are some less common medications available, you could ask your doctor about them

[flat cliff]

Maybe, I feel like after 5-6 meds its like what are the odds the 7th is gonna stick.

I also moved and need a new primary care doctor so gotta find that and with the way my moms job is going insurance as well so I'd have to wait a while.

[deep musk]

There are some people for who weed works (not trying to get you on weed or anything, just saying there are some other different meds that are used)

[flat cliff]

I don't know if its even medically legal in the state and I got the type of parents it might as well not be if it is so that's out of the question.

[deep musk]

Yeah of course not saying that you should get weed either but that different meds do exist

[final thicket]

Does this qualify as tech chat

Jayz all but called it intentional drama 💀

[flat cliff]

Maybe and thanks for the chat. I just feel like if I had real options given how much I've been trying my old primary care doctor would have said something and I don't even have one right now. I think I'm just the edge case that has it rough. Thanks for the chat though, if I do iron out the micro fiber cloth crease is that gonna work? You can do that with those?

Meanwhile me trying to make a decent game. The simplified (overly) cpu designer doesn't quite look right as the years progress

Much fine tuning to do to make each era match as closely to real life ss possible. Both in the look and the resulting performance calculated.

[bright surge]

does any one have ANY idea what causes the MSI Mystic Light ARGB software to crap out randomly?

i will have my PC running, the lights set and working, but then, randomly, the motherboard controlled ones return to the RGB rainbow setting, and i have to restart MSI Center

or reapply the setting if said app, MSI Center is still running

[azure topaz]

solution is to use signal or open rgb

[bright surge]

or? perhapse if i dont want to instal ANOTHER software to control the lights, since i already HAVE to have this one?

[formal sonnet]

Or contact the developer of the problematic software, since they are responsible for their software. Not trying to be difficult but... given the sheer quantity of "RGB software broken" I've seen online, it really do be that bad. These companies are not QA testing their software and don't seem to care much after they've sold their products.

[bright surge]

i figured it wouldnt hurt to ask here, incase anyone had any experience

[azure topaz]

plenty of people have had bad experiences with specifically msi center yes

[bright surge]

there, are WAY to many LED control apps

[azure topaz]

i deal with them daily

[bright surge]

FUN

[formal sonnet]

Which is why you should ideally replace them all with a single, "universal" RGB control app.

[bright surge]

i DID see one POSSIBLE solution by googling this

[azure topaz]

i work at an si, msi center frequently makes us reinstall windows because it breaks

[bright surge]

tried signal, it did NOT like my fans

[bright surge]

oh, JOY

[azure topaz]

exactly

uninstall msi center and the msi center SDK after closing it fully then try signal or openrgb

[formal sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-i'm-right-you're-wrong-gif-11787518813849717138

"Is our software poorly written? NO it is the user and operating system that are wrong!"
-- Most companies that "develop" RGB software, probably.

[bright surge]

for now, it LOOKS like Dragon Center MIGHT have snuck in at some point, so seeing if i can find it, and unistal it with Revo

[azure topaz]

yeah we preinstall it on systems and when it doesnt want to work the quickest way to fix it is just reinstall windows

[woeful phoenix]

ChatGPT image v2 lowkey crazy

[azure topaz]

usually works

or sometimes it geniunely requires a cpu or ram swap

[bright surge]

revo didnt find it...

neither did windows, but LED Keeper 2 was present in my task manager

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

well, ONLY using MSI Center for Mystic Light, i PROBABLY could just remove it

and use signal in its place

[bright surge]

assuming signal either doesnt mess with my RAM and Fans, or works WITH them this time

[azure topaz]

try open rgb or similar

[bright surge]

if i could off load all 3 RGB apps, TT RGB Plus, Corsairs IQue, and MSI Mystic Light onto a single one, Signal, that WOULD be nice

[azure topaz]

asrock for future reference has decent argb software

its weird but it works all the time and will let you link most ram brands

[bright surge]

well, ill have to try and keep that in mind a decade or so from now when i build my NEXT daily driver PC, lol

[azure topaz]

lol

im weird and go through pcs usually once a year

[bright surge]

lol, fair

but considering current market prices, this one costing in the ball park of 7.5 to 8.5 grand, USD, you will understand me NOT wanting to have to replace it any time soon, LOL

[azure topaz]

well yeah

i dont spend that much money on puter i just buy toward my interests which is usually cpu and memory geared and not gpus

[bright surge]

lol

until the ramageddon, no singular component in this machine was over a grand, but MOST were in the ball park of 500, LOL

[azure topaz]

yeah my ram was cheaper cause i bought it when it was well cheaper

[bright surge]

same

even then, 96 gigs was ALOT

SIGNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

why u no see my Razer Base Station V2 Chroma...

[bold olive]

that's fairly priced for peripherals

[clear canyon]

Idk what currency that is or what it is to USD

But yall got hella inflation

[carmine quartz]

is Quadro RTX 4000 on par with 2060 or the 2070?

[bold olive]

brotha it's one Google search away

[clear canyon]

Did you not read what i said, i said idk what currency that is, how am i supposed to look something up when idk what it is

[bold olive]

and I have no idea why google would show a sponsored result by someone who stated it's not for sale

[bold olive]

just put rm xxxxx to usd

that simple

[bright surge]

now, i cant mind my MoBos onboard lights in Signal

just the ones from the headers

[raven scroll]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-drooling-patrick-star-spongebob-movie-drooling-slime-gif-525340425450564005

[bright surge]

oh GREAT, now signal wont even START, after a rebot to check some BIOS settings it was talking about...

[bright surge]

ugh

signal is, NOT working for me at all

so ima try open

welp, open RGB was NO help, it didnt even find the motherboard RGB...

[flat cliff]

What's a good quality cable tester and how much should I spend on it? I wanna buy a good one but I don't know what to get or at what price point to start because obviously a $10-12 one isn't it but I don't need $200+ either but I'm sure I could fins either on amazon if I tries hard enough.

[bright surge]

good luck with THAT rabbit hole

[flat cliff]

And any good options?

[sharp ivy]

Psu cable?

[bright surge]

that, i cant only that LTT has a video on the topic, and cable testers are BLOODY EXPENSIVE, and are NOT as simply as plug in and get a "good" or "bad" output

[flat cliff]

Like USB C or display and such.

[flat cliff]

I've seen some in YT videos that are that simple.

[sharp ivy]

oh

[flat cliff]

Like it would be nice of I can plug in an HDMI cable and be told yep 4k 120hz or 8k60 cable or yep this one is a decade old piece of (insert bad word bot gonna filter me for).

But I mostly just want to be able to say this USB cable is 2.0 this USB C cable is a low power one, this one does 240w, this one is thunderbolt and the likes. I don't have a 240w USB C port (and can devices even take that much over USB C? Like even macbook pros don't do a full 240w do they?) But I do have a 140w power bank so I can at least validate up to that much and I don't need see ever needing more that that many watts who would?

[flat cliff]

Yeah like not the fancy $2k+ big boxes but the USB stuff.

[queen crow]

Just got a used 1070... it's hitting 82°C under load. Shouldn't it be lower?

[bright surge]

the third party RGB control apps i know are NO BETTER than the manufacturers

[hexed tapir]

ew so many white names

[fickle ivy]

I've never seen viewing angles this bad before using this laptop

[fickle ivy]

Idk how I'm still a white name

My old account had regular and bread roll but I lost the password to it

[queen crow]

Hmm?

[hexed tapir]

you need to link your ltt account to your discord to get green name

[fickle ivy]

What

Since when

[hexed tapir]

like 2 years

[fickle ivy]

Bruh

I ain't doing allat

[bright surge]

vell, how dost one get a colored name?

[flat cliff]

Any good cable testers to get from Amazon?

[iron glen]

Hoddamn

I aint ever done that 😎

[ebon salmon]

is 80% charge on iphone good i was like expecting 100%

[whole garden]

Ew blue name

Green is better

[sacred trout]

Yes, it’s good. You don’t want to charge it too much because it can drain the battery’s life in the long run

[glad gulch]

Define charge

80% health? Or 80% in the battery gauge up top?

[ebon salmon]

battery percent

[glad gulch]

Oh that's fine. Unless the battery health is severely diminished.

[sacred trout]

I would’ve switched to Android, but my family members love Apple so we all got iPhones

[glad gulch]

I switched to an el cheapo android because it can run the work apps

It was the only device in my stash that could run said apps without being a laptop

[sacred trout]

Especially since I want to get my feet wet with Linux to eventually transition into an help desk role and building a home lab, Android would be way better

[glad gulch]

I give you, the most overkill clock ever

[glad gulch]

After successfully robbing some internal parts and chassis parts I was left with this parts machine that still functioned.

Currently it's on Vista with an ancient HDD and a single 2GB stick of RAM

[sacred trout]

That looks sick, I haven’t tinkered with my Samsung Chrome enough. Too bad Chromebooks are dookie for running IDEs

I can’t even get VS Code on the current one I have

[glad gulch]

Oh this is just stock Vista and a screensaver

My actual nice X61 is used as an e-reader

[sacred trout]

Nice

[queen crow]

Still wondering if 82c is normal for a gpu like 1070..
I never had a GPU. That was an upgrade from nothing to this.

[sacred trout]

From what I’ve read on Reddit, it shouldn’t be running above 80 C

[queen crow]

Hmm

I saw a few people saying it's normal

I tried messing with afterburner, reduced temps abit but caused crash in re2r

[sinful cobalt]

likely that the paste is just dried up since its a really old card

[sacred trout]

I was reading a thread earlier with this exact advice

The OP was saying their idle temp is 35c

[queen crow]

If that can fix it, I'll ask my friend. I think he can do it.

The dude who gave me the GPU was a friend. He said it was getting like 78/75 temps on RDR2.. but I don't think it was on full load, since his PC had a massive CPU bottleneck (an i5-4580)

I have the same CPU, but yeah... I got the GPU for a 580 price, and he just told me 'pay me when you can.'

[glad gulch]

Probably just needs to be repasted

[sinful cobalt]

if you combine a shitbox with a shitbox you still get a shitbox

[queen crow]

💀 🥀

[queen crow]

I will try

[sinful cobalt]

“chat the card no longer spins to life”

[glad gulch]

I thought you got a better one

Take the good parts from both to make one better shitbox

[glad gulch]

I mean if you're going to complain about this person's specs, go buy them new parts, not everyone can afford the latest

[sinful cobalt]

who said I was on the latest?

if you’re so benevolent how about you go do it yourself

[glad gulch]

I just wanted to point it out, jeez

Didn't know if it was just a comment, a diss, whatever

[sinful cobalt]

then dont talk to me like that going around and assuming shit

[glad gulch]

Discord sucks for tone context

How am I supposed to know, anyways, this server was the very same one that told me a long time ago to, and I quote, "go screw yourself" for running 2nd gen Intel

So excuse me for assuming people are gatekeepers

[sinful cobalt]

and am i the same person who told you that? no

[glad gulch]

Eh, nevermind

[sinful cobalt]

my only experience with 2nd gen intel was when my friend was going “WHY IS DISCORD EATING 50% OF MY CPU”

[glad gulch]

I know someone once told me some very unkind words when they asked what I was on and I replied with "i7-620M"

The internet is a strange place

[sinful cobalt]

idc what you’re already on
i only care if you are indeed planning to buy shitbox items that do not improve your performance at all and IS NOT FOR FUNSIES

[frail sequoia]

Im getting this lg soundbar and lg sub soon

[glad gulch]

I mean, that's fair enough, but I will raise the point that at the end of the day why care if it isn't your money or time being used?

[sinful cobalt]

the argument here is “if you’re already at rock bottom why are you trying to aim even lower”

you can say that yeah ion care if it isnt my money or time but its advice on how to improve your performance numbers

[queen crow]

I either had to choose between the RX 580 and the GTX 1070.
The RX 580 is kind of risky in the Iranian market. I've heard from a lot of people that they got that GPU and it died after two months.

I got the GTX 1070 for the same price from a close friend. I don't think that was a bad deal.

And again, I had been using no GPU before this. That was my first GPU. Going from not being able to run games to actually playing them.

[sinful cobalt]

you made the right choice the 1070 is 30% faster

but preferably I’d recommend a 2060 as a minimum

[queen crow]

Not sure if I'm getting that 30% on CPU-heavy games, but it will be decent enough in case I get a better motherboard and CPU.

[rigid fjord]

2060 super*

[sinful cobalt]

nah 2060 for the dlss4 entry point

[rigid fjord]

nah 2060 super because 1080 ti performance which is a little better than a 3060

[sinful cobalt]

dont think too much about bottlenecks in this region just get the most u can

[solar moat]

https://tenor.com/pGbyiOjveDw.gif

[gilded harness]

vega 56/64 my beloved

[rigid fjord]

only reason for a rx580 to die would be poor use of it by the previous owner, or it's been mined on so bad with a piss poor vbios set

[sinful cobalt]

yeah so funny story my guy’s vega 64 was bound for repaste by his brother and his brother lost the screws

[queen crow]

That GPU used to be cheap, and everyone was buying it.
Getting one that lasts more than three months is 50/50 here... it used to be like 3.5m tomans, but now it's 10m. I ain't risking my money on that GPU

[rigid fjord]

most where buying it for bitcoin mining

[sinful cobalt]

yeah i shouldve bought and mined bitcoin instead of drinking from the milk bottle

[stray portal]

is it normal for my pc to sorta wake up with all my apps open

like how i had it before but i shut it down then turned off the power cord

[shell cobalt]

This is amazing I did not know that my iphone 17 has better raw performance than my CPU in my PC

[restive plinth]

Windows?

[stray portal]

yes

[haughty compass]

Hey all, want to use a monitor stand as My mouse pad doesn't fit properly unless I stick it under my monitor which makes it crooked. I want to use a monitor arm but my desk has this back stopper than is really big but also used for cable management. Is there any way I can use a monitor arm?

[restive plinth]

There's an option in settings to restart apps which can be restarted when you boot back up again

[solar moat]

mac book neo using same cpu but due to solded 8GB of ram thats limiting/passmark is kind of falwed in few ways since many dont even load xmp and that drags score down

[solar moat]

wait 🤦 the iphone 16 used A18

holy shit it has 8MB of L2 cache to the Pcores

HOLY SHIT THE RAM ON IT

LPDDR5X 9600

it gets more ram badwidth then 9800x3d with 2x16GB of ddr5 8000

APPLE make cheap mini pc using that that can run linux

the A19 pro is crazy on the specs

lol no wonder why its using n2p the node that zen6 is rumerd to use

[frail sequoia]

Is that good or bad (im getting them fir free off my dad)

[sinful cobalt]

this is proven to be irrelevant because of how they’re used

[arctic kettle]

How much depth is there in that underhang?

There are arms that tighten from the top, so you don't need to worry about space too much.

Like this one.

As long as you have 12ish cm of depth you could probably go ahead and get one.

The one shown would be less than that even.

[rigid fjord]

yup, you could even modify the desk and arm for it depending on the desks thickness

[rigid fjord]

ther are bolt through options for monitor stands

[arctic kettle]

This too.

[rigid fjord]

@haughty compass

any clamp on monitor stand requires an 18mm thick desk as minimum

another style of how the bolt in version can look like

[arctic kettle]

That's good to know.

I have a 20mm and thought you could get thinner than 18.

[rigid fjord]

glass desks you want extra padding btw

[shadow epoch]

@arctic kettle

[rigid fjord]

you can go thinner but then you end up with the desk ttop flexing

[shadow epoch]

So its my cpu right that’s causing my pc to not boot up?

[rigid fjord]

well you have crap on the pins

[arctic kettle]

Yeah.

[shadow epoch]

Is that normal?

[rigid fjord]

no

[shadow epoch]

I used a brush and nothing is coming off

[rigid fjord]

iso alc bath

[arctic kettle]

I would get high concentration isopropyl alcohol.

[rigid fjord]

90-99% iso alc it

[rigid fjord]

tbf depending on the material, there's a good reason to why 18mm is the minimum for the clamp

primarily it's due to matierial flexing/bending

[shadow epoch]

This the one i got it doesnt list the % tho

[rigid fjord]

i'd presume that's something like 70%

[arctic kettle]

Is that a price tag or %?

[shadow epoch]

Def not

[rigid fjord]

neither dude, looks more like a batch number

[arctic kettle]

Fair enough.

I just know if I had unlabeled % I would write it on myself based off of what the listing/store said it was. (If a family member purchased it would make more sense.)

I have also seen someone selling some at a yard sale before.

[median warren]

Holy how old is that bottle

[rigid fjord]

old enough for you to call it dad

[gleaming meteor]

peecee

[haughty compass]

What do u yall think of my tech corner

[ivory mountain]

😊

Consumerism 😊😊😊

[median warren]

Literally

[wooden pasture]

Does someone know how to fix this?

I cant connect to the ethernet with my desktop

Im doing a network reset but dont k ow if it will work properly

Says that i could also uninstall them all and restart and thar forces the computer to install them properly

Lmao i fixed it with network reset

Now im curious on why this happened

[lapis furnace]

chat is this too much for a VM?
(my CPU - i5-9300H (yes its a laptop) - 4 cores and 8 logical cores, 32gigs RAM)

[rigid fjord]

install the correct drivers

[wooden pasture]

Manualy? Can find my pendrive

Now it apears connected but i dont have the internet

I think i might format the computer

[upper abyss]

why does OC on the 5070ti not do that much allat for less than 10% more than stock or something

[solar moat]

well just the way nvida shiped it

maybe due to cpu limited?

[worn willow]

Does linux support changing wallpallers

[solar moat]

yes

[solar moat]

7500 is avg for oc around 6500 is commen for stock

6000 and under is somthing wrong

[worn willow]

How

[rustic lynx]

How do I launch arena breakout infinite from steam Linux? When I click launch and then in the launcher I press launch it doesn't do anything, just closes the game

[upper abyss]

I mean same CPU clock as the top 1 leaderboard holder I also didnt optimize my stuff by closing everything but either way ill try to edit my curve maybe since its a very very simple one

[rustic lynx]

I need it for today it's important

[worn willow]

Proton

[rustic lynx]

I'm using it

The experimental one in steam settings

[solar moat]

i may daily ubunto but idk i not tryed

[rustic lynx]

ABI still doesn't work even with proton

Yeah when I press launch it crashes

Switched from experimental proton to the latest non experimental and it doesn't crash. Not just won't boot

[worn willow]

Try using older versions

[rustic lynx]

It says "running"

Okay

It just says "running" and doesn't show anything more

I'll install it on my dad's pc maybe cuz he has windows

Just to claim one important thing

I'll try older protons wait

What is proton hotfix? @worn willow

[worn willow]

Idk
Im windows user

[rustic lynx]

Oh alr

Still nothing on proton 8.0-4

[wooden pasture]

@rigid fjord Should i repair all install filed or just remove the old ones ? When installing new drivers with pen

Probably remove right

Maybe i will also update bios later after fixing this

[rustic lynx]

What is a partition table? When I try to make a bootable usb device my pc says the ISO doesn't have it

[rustic lynx]

On proton 8.0-4 it launches but with a network problem lol

[wooden pasture]

Yeah installing them with usb drive didnt work

[gaunt spade]

is this fixeable

[wooden pasture]

Even instaing new ontem drivers didnt fix

[elder quarry]

don't bother

"The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver.
For information on how to resolve this, please go to:

How do I solve this error? Cpu: ryzen 9950x3d
Gpu: 5080

[gilded harness]

Are you trying to install igpu driver?

[tidal geyser]

you have a nvidia gpu

why would you need anything from amd

[serene parrot]

Amd cpu?

[tidal geyser]

what about it

well eh

[serene parrot]

Graphics driver is for the igpu??

[tidal geyser]

game bar should already be setup out of the box

[serene parrot]

I disabled it

[serene parrot]

Idk what game bar is

[tidal geyser]

hold windows button and press g

its how your cpu detects if you are gaming and uses X3D ccd only for said game

im unsure if windows actually ships all the drivers you need or not for your cpu but that is installed first when you install adrenalin, amd is so funky

anyways if you disabled the igpu adrenalin aint gonna open due to well what is it meant to change

that part is only for managing amd gpu hardware

[serene parrot]

I see thanks

I thought it was for the cpu drivers or something

Like on windows you need drivers for everything xd

[wooden pasture]

Yeah im done updated bios ehternet doesnt work cant setup new pin without internet

I LOVE microslop

[rose sorrel]

what does arc mean ?

[tidal geyser]

"An arc is a curved shape, specifically a portion of a circle's circumference, or a sustained luminous electrical discharge. It refers to any curved path, a storyline's progression (character arc), or a "storyline" section in media. Synonyms include bend, curve, bow, and circle."

[rose sorrel]

i meant on hdmi my bad

[tidal geyser]

"HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) allows a single HDMI cable to send audio from a TV back to a soundbar or receiver, simplifying setups by eliminating optical cables. It supports surround sound (Dolby Digital, DTS) and enables TV remote volume control via HDMI-CEC. A high-speed HDMI cable (1.4 or higher) is required."

[rose sorrel]

on my tv i have ps5 plugged in to it that the best choice ?

my tbs hdmi is 1,4 or 2.0 but 60 hz

i want to upgrade lol to 120 hz

if not this week, its gonna be the same day next big steam sale is

[median warren]

I think you might be right

It is definitely around the corner

[median warren]

Huh

[lapis furnace]

its a VM dont worry

[median warren]

Thought so

[lapis furnace]

it looks dope so far

[abstract wigeon]

the people yearn for linux customisation

[median warren]

The Linux interface looks so much cleaner than windows like oml

[lapis furnace]

its not linux btw

[lapis furnace]

ikr

[median warren]

What is it then

[lapis furnace]

see the screenshot ig?

[median warren]

It's windows tf

I mean I thought you meant you're on Linux and running a windows vm

[lapis furnace]

im on windows 11 and running a windows 11 "26h1" VM

the ss is from the VM

[median warren]

But why

[lapis furnace]

why not

[median warren]

The interface just looked so Linux like

[lapis furnace]

yes its a custom ISO

[median warren]

Yeah fair enough, free will

[median warren]

I love it

[rustic lynx]

What's a partition table? Balena etcher showed that my windows ISO doesn't have it

[rustic lynx]

Bro what?

[median warren]

You know

I have no idea how you somehow make your situation worse day by day

[rustic lynx]

Bro what did I do this time. I wanna reinstall windows like

[median warren]

Like you've had I think over 10 people help you now but somehow it gets worse by each day that goes by

You need to stop touching things

[median warren]

I don't know what you did

[rustic lynx]

I just put the windows ISO into balena etcher and this

[median warren]

I haven't been here for the entire journey

[rustic lynx]

I didn't touch anything. Just reinstalling windows

I swear on god I didn't play with bios, setting or smth

[median warren]

You're just trying to reinstall windows right so why not just put the windows installer on a usb, shove it into the usb port and install it like everyone else

[rustic lynx]

I did it lol

[median warren]

I don't have enough knowledge on the subject to know what went wrong

[rustic lynx]

I booted from the usb and this

[median warren]

Yeah I have no idea

I mean to be fair

[rustic lynx]

It doesn't have drivers and I have to install drivers onto a flash drive and select them. Idk what drivers tho. Mobo? Or what

[median warren]

Windows does have a glitch where if you have multiple storage devices installed whilst you're trying to install windows, it will glitch out and not show up

[rustic lynx]

I'm not sure

[jaunty apex]

Damn how many rejects?

[median warren]

So try with just 1 storage device installed

[rustic lynx]

So I have to unplug my NVME..?

[median warren]

Google is your best friend

[rustic lynx]

Uh alr bro ig I can unplug it

[median warren]

Okay hang on

[rustic lynx]

Remove it not unplug*

[median warren]

What storages do you have installed

Like just 1 nvme or

[rustic lynx]

2 nvmes

500GB with Linux and 1TB and I'm trynna install the windows on the 1TB

[median warren]

Okay then try taking 1 out and only keep the nvme you want windows to install on, see if that helps

[rustic lynx]

Alr

[fallow yacht]

why did u even put the iso to balena etcher

[rustic lynx]

To make a bootable usb?

[fallow yacht]

1. rufus exists
2. if you have an existing windows 11 OS media creation tool is the best

[rustic lynx]

1. Balena is the same thing as Rufus
2. Media creation tool same thing as balena

[eternal tinsel]

guys can someone tell me is this malware? a shell command popped up for a sec on my screen

[fallow yacht]

where did u even get the iso

[rustic lynx]

The... Microsoft site...?

What are these questions

[fallow yacht]

nevermind i just checked again

was the error "we couldn't find your drives" or something?

[rustic lynx]

Install drivers

That's the error

How do I install if I don't have an operating system lol

[fallow yacht]

before clicking the install windows 11 click "previous version of setup first" because that's where i can be familiar with

[rustic lynx]

Huh

I can't install it cuz it shows I need to select a drive to install drivers lol

[fallow yacht]

when this window appears click the "previous version of setup" and try again

[rustic lynx]

Bro

[rustic lynx]

It won't put me into the screen cuz of this

[fallow yacht]

you mean that's what appeared when it like booted up?

[rustic lynx]

Yes... Booted from the usb

[fallow yacht]

very weird

[rustic lynx]

Yeah ik lol

[median warren]

Throw your pc into the bin, buy a prebuilt

[deep musk]

https://tenor.com/view/no-way-never-shake-head-schitts-creek-david-rose-gif-26023718

[fallow yacht]

@rustic lynx you have to disable VMD/IRST in the BIOS

[deep musk]

Oof

[deep musk]

Ohhh yeah, that’s an intel raid thingy

[fallow yacht]

fuck IRST tbh

[median warren]

Hi poignee

[fallow yacht]

had a similar issue before

[deep musk]

Yeah, bios raid stuff is weird

[deep musk]

Hewwwo

[median warren]

How's it going

[fallow yacht]

since VMD is enabled by default in the BIOS of my laptop once the battery is disconnected for too long I have to disable it again

apparently there's no seperate CMOS battery

[median warren]

That's dumb

[fallow yacht]

whaddya expect it's asus and cost cutting

[median warren]

Rarinth for the win, hope it works for George

[median warren]

Oh it's Asus? I forgive them, they're in search of incredible

They'll find it tho, I do trust them they'll find it one day

[fallow yacht]

i honestly didn't get his issue at first because mine was when the ISO was looking for drives, not immediately looking for drivers

[median warren]

It's windows what do you expect

It's got all sorts of weird quirks, called "features"

[fallow yacht]

mine was a reinstall

[median warren]

Ah fair

[deep musk]

Goody, ish

[median warren]

ISH?

Everything okay?

[deep musk]

Goody-ish, gotta cutting fucking apple tree branches all day long qwq (it’s sooooo fucking repetitive)

[median warren]

Do you get to keep the apples you harvest

[kindred halo]

Why do you hate InfraRed Search & Track?

[median warren]

Your reward is juicy apples

[fallow yacht]

sarcasm?

[kindred halo]

Yeah,,,,,
Should've put /s sorry

[deep musk]

Nope, only cutting branches to make apple growth more efficient, wait too early for apples

[median warren]

You've got your work cut out for you, you'll be finished eventually so just keep at it

[rustic lynx]

Okay

[deep musk]

I do get paid quite well (well enough to have enough money for my summer travel)

[rustic lynx]

I'll try

What is the VMD /IRST thing? @fallow yacht

I don't see it anywhere in the bios

[gaunt spade]

i fixed it it work

[fallow yacht]

if not that, anything resembling RAID?

[deep musk]

(Scale at the right bottom) (all the lines are trees (barely even started))

[rustic lynx]

I have a thing called VT-d

Let me search for raid

[deep musk]

There’s something like 5000 trees

[gaunt spade]

damn bro has apples

[fallow yacht]

what's ur motherboard

[median warren]

That's insane

[rustic lynx]

Gigabyte B660 gaming X DDR4

[median warren]

I'll give you some fans when you come to the UK as a reward for cutting apple trees

[deep musk]

Yes (I do get to drive around with “my” sxs cause it’s my grandparent’s neighbour orchard and I also take care of the 4wheelers and the side by sides)

[fallow yacht]

is there something called VMD?

[median warren]

That is pretty cool, I wouldn't mind doing a bit of offroading

[rustic lynx]

VM-d

No wait

It's VT-D not VM-D

It's disabled

[fallow yacht]

wait i found ur bios go to settings - io ports - sata and rst configuration

nvm it was an aorus board

[deep musk]

(They let me use one of the sxs as mine and do some light modding on it as long as I take care of the others correctly, do maintenance and repair them if needed for free (I like doing that so it’s basically a win-win with no down sides))

[fallow yacht]

but at least try

[rustic lynx]

I have VMD

[fallow yacht]

yep now save it try booting through USB now

[rustic lynx]

You mean enable it?

It was disabled

[fallow yacht]

...

[lapis furnace]

anyone want? giving ts for free

[rustic lynx]

Me

It's a joke yeah but worth a try

[deep musk]

Yeah, and my sxs is the sportiest one of all three (they are work oriented sxs) (they don’t like mine cause it’s too intense for them)

[fallow yacht]

man ur pc is very weird rn

[lapis furnace]

sure. only $999 shipping charges

[rustic lynx]

Ik

[deep musk]

The box?

[lapis furnace]

yes

[fallow yacht]

...maybe try turning it on first?

[rustic lynx]

Well the GPU itself is free so deal

[median warren]

The GPU can't be worth 30% of that

[rustic lynx]

Alr

[lapis furnace]

thats why the GPU itself is free

[deep musk]

Im down if you pay shipping

[median warren]

Ah makes sense, can I pay the shipping charges 1 dollar per month for 999 months

[teal sphinx]

what are some cheap and decent psu, no need for modular or anything fancy just reliable. looking for 3600+6700xt

[lapis furnace]

u better start an EMI

[teal sphinx]

my 500w psu is unsurprisingly a little unstable sometimes

[lapis furnace]

sure bud u real slick

[fallow yacht]

leave that for now and save i just wanna see if it changes anything

[median warren]

Course, I'm a businessman

[rustic lynx]

Alr

[sinful citrus]

Can somebody help me with turning on secure boot? I enabled secure boot. It's set to UEFI, CMS is disabled. The boot drive is GPT. In msinfo32 it says its UEFI and it still says that secure boot is not enabled. In the BIOS it also says that it's not active.

[rustic lynx]

It didn't do shit

[deep musk]

Yes, a decent 650 watt would be your best bet (check the psu tier list on the lab’s website)

[rustic lynx]

Wait give me 5 mins I gtg

[deep musk]

Did you save the changes made to the bios config?

[sinful citrus]

Yes.

[deep musk]

I guess you can retry

[sinful citrus]

I tried looking on google and it said stuff about install factory keys or whatever.

[sinful citrus]

I can't find anything like that

[teal sphinx]

honestly it seems so hard to determine the price of the psu from the tier list?

there are so many psu idk which one fits into my price bracketr

[deep musk]

Look for their price online I guess

[sinful cobalt]

you’re supposed to see your options and look at them on the tierlist not the other way round

[deep musk]

It can work that way too, that way you’re sure to know what tier they are before spending time and effort shopping for them

[sinful cobalt]

who is sorting for every good psu on the spl list then searching for them on the market/retail shops 💀

[teal sphinx]

Eh I am buying online

[sinful cobalt]

its 2026 the retailers should also have online shops

[rustic lynx]

So like what do I do @fallow yacht

[teal sphinx]

And they have like basically all the PSU

[deep musk]

You can choose a couple of good options and then look online which ones are easier to get, it’s like making a grocery shopping list then choosing which one you choose

[rustic lynx]

I can put the Mobo drivers on the pendrive with the iso on it right?

[deep musk]

Not all smaller shop have online stores

[sinful cobalt]

sort by what fits in ur budget

[deep musk]

maybe, you should try to put them on a second usb drive

[sinful cobalt]

they should at the very least have an online web for their pricelist

[fallow yacht]

probably, but first disable VMD again and uncheck the "hide incompatible drivers"

[rustic lynx]

Ion got one

[deep musk]

Yeah

[rustic lynx]

Alr

[deep musk]

Oh oki, you can try to see if it works

[rustic lynx]

So the motherboard drivers right?

What drivers? Serial I/O? @fallow yacht

Or what

[fallow yacht]

probably the intel vmd driver

[rustic lynx]

I can't put them on the pendrive

Says I have to format it

[sinful citrus]

Damn i didn't even do anything and now it says active in the bios and msinfo32

Thx i guess 🤷‍♂️

[rustic lynx]

Says I have to format the pendrive

I can put it on an SD card..

I'll put the drivers on the SD card

[deep musk]

[rustic lynx]

There are no VMD drivers

I'll jist install everything on the drive

RAID mode sata preinstall driver is that it?

[deep musk]

Try resetting the cmos it’s a shotgun method but might work

[rustic lynx]

.

Installed IO and RAID SATA thing. I'll see

[rustic lynx]

The drivers don't show up on the SD card for some reason. So the CMOS battery method now?

[fallow yacht]

uncheck "hide drivers incompatible" thing

[rustic lynx]

I did

And nothing

[fallow yacht]

try this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwjakbmyaxg

[empty quartz]

Ngl, something funny to me is how when people compare 120hz and 60hz, they use the same display. The problem with that is it will always look worse when you’re running half the refresh rate of a display. When you compare a 60hz display to a 120hz display, the different is less noticable

This is especially true on phones

[fallow yacht]

not for me tbh

60hz on a non pro iphone is the same as 60hz on a pro iphone

[empty quartz]

Running in “60hz” mode on my 16 pro max is alot more stuttery and less smooth than my 60hz iphone 12 and iphone 11 pro

16 pro max is 120hz vrr

[deep musk]

Yeah, worth a try

[empty quartz]

Well yeah

[peak anvil]

guys, i wanna play single player games on linux, and multiplayer games on windows, but i dont wanna keep reinstalling, and i dont want to lose my settings change everytime, what do i do

[empty quartz]

But why

Just keep it all on one OS

[peak anvil]

mostly performance and aesthetics

[empty quartz]

Thats like using a dirt bike for travelling with 2 people and a suv for driving on your own

Its stupid

[peak anvil]

makes no sense what you just said

[empty quartz]

Makes more sense than using linux for single player games, and windows for multiplayer

[peak anvil]

do you even know what happens when you play multiplayer on linux

[empty quartz]

Might as well just throw in macos into the mix

[peak anvil]

theres a high change the anti cheat could fire off

and get you banned

[empty quartz]

Then use windows

Not rocket science

[empty quartz]

Yes

[peak anvil]

ima just duel boot

no help at all

[empty quartz]

Happy to help

@fallow yacht i just noticed that samsung did not make a single visual change from the s22 ultra to the s25 ultra (other than size from the s24u to the s25u)

[fallow yacht]

yeah i know

[empty quartz]

And people say all the iphones look the same

[fallow yacht]

s24u to s25u was cutting corners (literally)

[empty quartz]

At least the 15pm and 16pm the whole phone is .1” larger diagonally

[steel umbra]

not going to mention regular s series

the main camera isn’t even good

like considering the price

[random junco]

why was this not the option in the first place

(after considering only windows)

[jaunty apex]

Naw.. They just won't let you join in the first place

And thats pretty well documented on areweanticheatyet

[stray portal]

This is the worst explanation ever

[empty quartz]

Typing on my phone vs typing on my ipad+external keyboard

[stray portal]

🤔

I dont like monkeytype tests because in real world scenarios you dont just type random stuff you know what you are going to type so you type it faster

Just like how when you speak you dont pause and think about the next word every time

[remote swallow]

i type pretty fast for someone who only uses their index fingers

mastered the old-man typing 😭

should've followed one of those typing courses back in 2007

can't type for shit on my iphone icl

[jaunty apex]

I feel the same for the most part NGL. Its a good data-entry benchmark if anything but you see the content initially before typing as well.

[random junco]

good point

also the different tests really vary depending on scenarios

i have 181wpm 100% for 10 words but then like 100wpm 90% for 30 seconds

[remote swallow]

i usually have about 98-105wpm 98% for a minute

[random junco]

i was a bit pissed when i beat my own record on a school computer and i wasnt logged in

[empty quartz]

I prefer accuracy over speed ngl

Im also at a disadvantage since im using a bluetooth keyboard on a 9 year old ipad while downloading a movie in the background

[remote swallow]

i just never learned to type with more than my index fingers

[empty quartz]

Proof?

Do monkeytest

[stray portal]

Kinda regret getting a laptop over a tablet, on a tablet i could have also played phone games and had better battery life

[random junco]

i never really "learnt" anyways

just used it

[stray portal]

Index finger typing is easy

[remote swallow]

index finger typing is slower tho

simply because of how far you have to move

but it's so ingrained in my muscle memory i can't unlearn it

[empty quartz]

Thats 30 seconds, not a minute

[stray portal]

Yeah same for me I dont think about it when i type but i dont use entire hand i find it harder

[glossy veldt]

oh we talking about typing

[stray portal]

I use more fingers but not all of the time

[glossy veldt]

i can use my entire left hand but my right is mid

lemme do a typing test rq

[empty quartz]

I still cannot get over how the 1st gen apple pencil charges 💀

[remote swallow]

you happy now

[empty quartz]

Yes

Thank you

[stray portal]

I think i mostly use index and middle fingers sometimes ring and thumbs

Im such a gamer i keep both thumbs on space 😔😔

Taking out the CMOS didn't do anything @deep musk

[glossy veldt]

oh my god bluetooth keyboard sucks SO MUCH

[remote swallow]

i think highest i've ever gotten was 127 or sumn in that range

and that was on a macbook keyboard

them shits are so nice to type on

[glossy veldt]

laptop keyboards are oddly really nice to type on

specially on 14" laptops

[remote swallow]

im a weird person anyway

[glossy veldt]

i might just have small fingers tho

[remote swallow]

i've always loved the feeling of membrane keyboard

my current keeb has boba u4 silent tactiles in it which just feel like membrane LOL

[glossy veldt]

my decomissioned mechanical keyboard is right next to me and between this piece of shit im using right now

i say that mechanical keyboards win

[remote swallow]

they do but i just make it feel like a membrane keeb

[deep musk]

Weird

[glossy veldt]

im using this piece of shit rn i bought it as a temporary replacement a couple of months ago

[remote swallow]

currently using Neo70 + Boba U4T Silents and PBS Modern Abacus keycaps

[rustic lynx]

What do I do now

Install a new iso and put it into balena?

[glossy veldt]

this mechanical keyboard was the one i always used it's a chinese brand so an entire row of keys just stopped working

[rustic lynx]

Maybe that's the issue

[deep musk]

Ngl, no idea (im working rn qwq)

[rustic lynx]

Alr

[remote swallow]

not able to upgrade to anything? idk where you live

[glossy veldt]

im planning on getting it fixed eventually

i really like the clanky keyboard

[remote swallow]

i have loads of old keyboard stuff i dont use but shippng would probably be crazy

[glossy veldt]

don't even consider shipping to argentina

if it reaches the destination taxes will eat me alive

[remote swallow]

what if i just say it cost nothin

[deep musk]

Redragon isn’t that bad, it’s not a top of the line brand but it’s not clapped to the ground

[glossy veldt]

mine must have been defective then

[remote swallow]

every person i've recommended one too has had their redragon keeb break within 2 years

[glossy veldt]

mine broke within months, lol

maybe a year

[remote swallow]

like either just random keystrokes not working or whatever weird shit

[proper gull]

You won't get compensated if it's stolen or lost

[deep musk]

Oof my three keyboards (that I also modded) never broke the oldest one is 5 years old, my two royalkludge did die on me after a year and a couple of months

[remote swallow]

yeah that's just my problem with those brands tho, it's hit or miss

[empty quartz]

Compared to keychron it is

[deep musk]

Yeah but the prices aren’t even close

[remote swallow]

keychron goes on sale LOADS

[sharp ivy]

My dollar store keyboard is coming up on having lasted me 2 years and it's still going strong

[remote swallow]

i think i have like 8 keyboards lying around all mechanical ones 😭

[empty quartz]

My old keyboard lasted me from december 2016 to 2025

[sharp ivy]

oooh nice

[empty quartz]

Logitech used to be fucking s tier for quality

[stray portal]

Clean your stuff bro 😭

[sharp ivy]

buh I can't find the bread rolls

[remote swallow]

logitech oh how i used to love you

a shell of its former self

[glossy veldt]

i maybe should

[glossy veldt]

but if you turn off the lights you don't see the dust

[stray portal]

I kinda downgraded from a nice thocky mechanical 60% keyboard to a razer huntsman mini with optical switches

But it also wasnt really a downgrade, the razer feels much more premium

[empty quartz]

Their switches are fucking tanks

[stray portal]

How does it even get like this

[sharp ivy]

Idunno but I cleaned it

I found this TV dumped on the side of the road

[stray portal]

Good

[proper gull]

Burn it with fire

[empty quartz]

Romer-g switches were incredibly reliable

[stray portal]

Old stuff should be cleaned and taken care off i hate people who throw tech in the garbage

no it works quite good and I beat HL:Uplink on it

has extremely good speakers

[stray portal]

Thats amazing

[sharp ivy]

forward facing and adjustable bass and such

[proper gull]

These sound like the words of someone that's not experienced good things yet

[stray portal]

It would go hard with an older style case

bro i found my logitech g502 after like 6 years in the attic after it was used to hell during my gaming addiction years

let me find the picture hold on

this poor mouse seen hell and back and probably all corners of my room out of rage

old photo but I found this monitor on the side of the road

Not even a bad monitor, 4k Dell Ultrasharp Studio that cost 1.5k USD new

[deep musk]

Holy shit

[sharp ivy]

[glossy veldt]

should i buy this

[sharp ivy]

just flickered a lot

[deep musk]

Yes

[deep musk]

Bad psu?

[sharp ivy]

but I left it on for 5 mins and it sorted itself out and hasn't had a single issue since

[glossy veldt]

i see goodies

[sharp ivy]

probably the most reliable monitor I own

[random junco]

i dont

[sharp ivy]

yes

[glossy veldt]

bro its got like 32 mb of ram

[sharp ivy]

yes

[glossy veldt]

[glossy veldt]

ooooooooh

[sharp ivy]

yeah 🙂

that comes from the I/O card with the blue PCB

[glossy veldt]

man i wanna get into old hardware so bad

my oldest piece of hardware is a 2005 compaq presario

[sharp ivy]

That's still cool

[glossy veldt]

but with this i think socket 7 or socket 5 pc i'll finally get into pre 2000's

[sharp ivy]

nice

[glossy veldt]

i'll need to get ps/2 keyboards and mouses tho

[sharp ivy]

do you have an old monitor to go with it?

[glossy veldt]

my main monitor already has vga

[iron glen]

is that a fish

[glossy veldt]

crt looks awesome but no i don't have on rn

[sharp ivy]

oh good it's new enough to have VGA

[sharp ivy]

noe

is my friend's sona

[glossy veldt]

i hope so

[sharp ivy]

as the test image when I was testing the monitor hooked up to an arduino

[iron glen]

mm
slightly musky, the bad kind

[sharp ivy]

eh?

[glossy veldt]

what?

[sharp ivy]

nardodragon

[iron glen]

[glossy veldt]

i can't quite make out from the video the guy sent me wht gpu it has

[sharp ivy]

you can probs run Half-Life: uplink

[remote swallow]

ominous glass of air

[sharp ivy]

I gotta keep myself oxygenated

[glossy veldt]

mmmm air

[iron glen]

i prefer flavored air

with a dash of chemicals

and a smidge of nicotine

[glossy veldt]

tried smoking once, pleugh

not sure how people can do it

[iron glen]

i see the concept but i dont see the vision

[sharp ivy]

I see the aftermath

[iron glen]

nuke it

[iron glen]

nasty

you should pressure wash that for good measure

[remote swallow]

now that is a bomb

[sharp ivy]

I did a full teardown, clean and rebuild

[remote swallow]

good

[remote swallow]

shit has propellors

[craggy cove]

h100i gtx :o

[covert peak]

Is image retention on a ips panel dangerous? or like does that mean its a bad panel

[deep musk]

Those look like my old ass thermaltake fans (mine are blue tho, not red)

[sullen lotus]

would it be feasible to buy a bluetooth transmitter to fix the bluetooth disconnection issue between my iphone 3gs and airpods pro 2

[deep musk]

maybe (I have no idea if you can use a Bluetooth adapter via the 30 pin) also the issue is probably the fact that your AirPods might be too new for your phone’s Bluetooth

[sullen lotus]

The bluetooth adapter’s being plugged into the 3gs headphone jack

[stray portal]

Why does my mouse look like this ive had it for less than a year

is this gamer goo

[tulip sparrow]

Friction rubbing off oils and skin and embedding them into the sides of the mouse

and maybe even some of the rubber rubbing off as well

Some peoples oils are higher in acid then others hence why some peoples mice wear out quicker then others

[craggy cove]

isopropyl alcohol + toothbrush if its like the gunk i had on a g502

or its just worn

[crystal palm]

Desperately want to downsize my gaming pc.. Currently on running an amd 5600 and 16gb of ddr4. I am looking at fractal terra, which would require a new mobo and psu.. At that point, worth getting a am5 motherboard and upgrading ram and cpu as well?

[remote swallow]

yes

you are a dirty filthy gamer

[rustic lynx]

And what if I put my NVME into the old pc with windows 11 and clone it and then put the nvme into my system? @deep musk

To avoid all of the errors

The windows 11 on that pc is quite new. Its like 2 weeks old

[flat cliff]

No idea what I'm doing but I want to buy a USB cable tester and if it does display cables as well that's good to.

Are they all just buy what looks good on Amazon or do I gotta know what I'm getting and if so what do I get?

[rustic lynx]

And I can't just put the disk from the old pc into the new one cuz it's a 120GB sata and it's failing

[deep musk]

Not a good I des to clone, use it to install windows on the nvme using that machine instead (cloning a drive from a different machine can lead to driver errors)

[rustic lynx]

Well I didn't install any drivers and I can delete them using a program and install new ones. It's worth a try

[deep musk]

Windows did install some

[rustic lynx]

I benchmarked my main before so I can benchmark it after I do it and see if it's any slower? Or stress test it. No?

I'll try it

The NVME is already in the pc

[upper agate]

So in my nas i have a huananmb b760m D5 motherboard. I tried using a 4800mhz ddr5 ram kit in it but I get a cpu and ram light. My 32gb ddr5 6000 kit works in it fine and the 16gb kit that dont work works in my other systems. Why wont the 16gb kit work with that particular motherboard. I think it has the latest bios because i did update it the end of last year but i cant confirm becuase the motherboard manufacturer site has been down

[median warren]

its still dirty

[deep musk]

Does the nas’s mobo support that “low” of a speed? (Also I sincerely suggest you to use as much ram as you can in your nas if you use zfs)

[median carbon]

mb

My gpu is artifacting and I only have $61

[deep musk]

Save up

[median carbon]

I am but it is artifacting bad

[restive plinth]

If it is just your boot partition that is gone, you can rebuild it using the installation usb

[kindred halo]

Check your monitor cable

[deep musk]

That too

[kindred halo]

Do you have integrated graphics on your CPU

[median carbon]

nah

[kindred halo]

What CPU

[kindred halo]

What CPU is it

[deep musk]

(Also you won’t do much with 61$, even if you want to replace the vram, the tools will cost you more than that)

[median carbon]

r5 3600

[restive plinth]

@rustic lynx

To rebuild a deleted EFI partition on Windows 11, boot from installation media, open Command Prompt (Shift+F10), and use diskpart to shrink the OS partition by 100MB, create a new FAT32 EFI partition, and assign a letter. Finally, use bcdboot to copy boot files from your Windows drive to the new partition to restore booting capability

I have accidentally deleted my EFI partition and doing this helped me recover my Windows 11.

[kindred halo]

Okay fair enough

[rustic lynx]

Already installed new windows

[kindred halo]

Well, do you have any other cables? Or another monitor?

Hell, even plugging into a TV works

[restive plinth]

That is another solution as well

[kindred halo]

What matters is an independent display & cable to verify that it's not your cable and/or display

[deep musk]

(Unless they only have a dp cable, I’ve seen like 1 tv with a dp port)

[median carbon]

no

the monitor and cable is brand new

[kindred halo]

TV should have an HDMI cable shipped with it, or the receiver

[kindred halo]

TV
Try that

[deep musk]

Doesn’t guarantee anything

[kindred halo]

What's this supposed to mean mate

[deep musk]

And? Plug it in a tv using said tv’s hdmi cable

[median carbon]

Hdmi port on the gpu is fried

[kindred halo]

What're you using to connect then rn

[deep musk]

How do you know?

[median carbon]

dp

[kindred halo]

DVI?

[kindred halo]

Oh

Well, are you completely sure that it's the HDMI port?

Could be your cable

[median carbon]

yeah

Im sure

[kindred halo]

How did you make sure

[median carbon]

Hdmi is working

It looks bad

[deep musk]

@median carbon just to make sure, what do you mean by artifacting and can you send a picture of it please?

[median carbon]

I can't I just unplugged the dp

But I had dots on the screen and lines would ocasionally appear

[deep musk]

From that description it might be a screen issue, what do you think @kindred halo?

But a picture will help us narrow down the source of the issue

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.androidauthority.com/router-ban-expands-to-hotspots-3660505/ sighs

[median carbon]

no screenshot

[deep musk]

Alright, so fucking phones and computers too since they can do that??

[deep musk]

Take a pic with your phone, we’ll be able to see the issue in a better way

[tulip sparrow]

If you read the TLDR section I posted you will see it clearly says PHONES ARE SAFE FOR NOW

[deep musk]

I think it’s a cable, monitor issue cause I don’t see any issues @kindred halo is it me or I don’t see anything?

[median carbon]

My screen keeps flickering

[deep musk]

Im on my data and can’t really go on websites due to the slow ass speed they usually time out

[deep musk]

From the vid you sent there’s no issues die to your gpu

[tulip sparrow]

I posted an image of the TLDR section like I normally do @deep musk

[deep musk]

Woups, da Sun made it disappear, just saw it

[deep musk]

That still doesn’t clarify the laptop part tho qwq

[tulip sparrow]

I normally post a TLDR summary and then the fuill article so that people can read it if they want

[deep musk]

Never seen such a fucking dumb “regulation” from a country

[tulip sparrow]

I assume that desktops and laptops are expemt similar to phjones for now

AKA any client based devices that just happen to have a hotspot feature but isn't advertised as such as likely fine for now

[deep musk]

Yeah, still a dumb ban ngl

[frigid topaz]

Man I miss the days where 8gb vram was good enough

[tulip sparrow]

even then 10gb-12gb should have been the bae minimun a few gens ago

[frigid topaz]

8gb is fine is most games but games like modded Arma reforger it definitely needs 12gb minimum

[tulip sparrow]

Modded VR on my 3070 Ti falls flat thanks to the 8GB of vram

[frigid topaz]

I got a 3070

In Arma reforger almost 9gb vram is being used even tho it's 8gb idk how

[tulip sparrow]

Trying to upgrade to anything better for VR is a pain in the wallet at this point in the time as I would need a 16GB 5070 Ti which is sitting at $1K+

VR loves nvidia far more then amd

[frigid topaz]

I almost got a deal of a life time rx 6900 16gb for like 200€

[tulip sparrow]

So instead I ended up picking up a Switch 2 with a couple of games for about $650 total

I got my 3070 Ti for $450 back when they were still going for $700+ brand new back during Covid/cryptominig

[deep musk]

@median carbon to test if it’s the monitor that is causing your issue try to plug something else than your pc in it, if it still looks bad/weird/etc it means it’s the monitor
