Spyware

[jaunty apex]

Controllers alone for valve have me sold

[drowsy isle]

but steam frame is a marginal upgrade from the meta quest 3 for probably double the price.

[restive plinth]

A wireless trackpad wouldn't cost as much right
And you could add something like the joystick controlling the mouse in PC mode

[drowsy isle]

Would much rather have oled displays

[remote swallow]

you clearly don't understand the value the steam frame brings then LMAO

[jaunty apex]

Depends on what you consider an upgrade.. Far as software goes...

[mint umbra]

Steamfrsme looks fsr more comfortable

[stray portal]

Steam frame is amazing but i have lost the magic of vr i dont like it anymore

[mint umbra]

The Meta head sets are uncomfortable af

[drowsy isle]

It's cool to be able to play PC games on the go and with the steam frame with maybe 1 hour of battery life sure, I usually just have my meta quest 3 at home connceted to my pc for pcvr

Have fun paying $1000 for an lcd headset

[mint umbra]

I really don't care if it's LCD or OLED

[stray portal]

I was avid vr user but its just a hassle putting them on and theres no good games anymore

[restive plinth]

Steam machine will be running only PC versions of the games right? Would a lot of gamers be willing to buy that over a PS5/ xbox just so that they can play gta 6 on day 1.

[jaunty apex]

Have fun with your locked down and buggy ecosystem?

[stray portal]

Most vr games nowadays feel like demos or unfinished

[drowsy isle]

yeah vr is a waste of money I have the quest 3 and it's fun for the first few weeks

but I have not used it in a long time

[mint umbra]

Also a update bricked my quest 2

[drowsy isle]

literally used it for a few weeks and never again

[jaunty apex]

.. And you're excited for their next product?

[remote swallow]

have fun paying 300$ for a lcd headset and then never using it again

[drowsy isle]

Well if it ends up being oled under $1000

[stray portal]

When i got my quest 2 it was fun i enjoyed it for years but then meta deleted my account for literally no reason and didnt respond to my appeal for over a year, and when they did they just lied and said it was fixed but it wasnt

Thats when i started to hate meta

[drowsy isle]

$500

[remote swallow]

then you still will not use it you numpty

[drowsy isle]

valve making their own vr headset will bring in more games vr might get better I do hope they drop an oled steam frame

[stray portal]

VR is a dead space imo, theres nothing to do and all the social aspects of it are almost gone

[jaunty apex]

Oled paperweight kekw

[remote swallow]

VR is too expensive for most people which is why it will never be a big market

[stray portal]

The world forgot about VR when AI became the new thing

[drowsy isle]

It's just not an upgrade from my meta quest 3 at all, faster processor, and the 2.4ghz is nice outside of that not to useful

[mint umbra]

Why matter if OLED if you only gunna use it for a couple of weeks

Lmao

[jaunty apex]

What's more headset performance to a pcvr user

A little bit of efficiency maybe?

[remote swallow]

tbh if i was gonna get a vr headset it'd probably end up being a bigscreen

[drowsy isle]

the 2.4ghz feature is nice if you don't have good wifi other than that not much of an upgrade at all

[remote swallow]

but as the market for VR is dying i see no point in it

[stray portal]

Something like a bigscreen beyond 2 is like peak since its so small you just put it on, but theres nothing to play

[restive plinth]

This is a bad year to release any of that. Anything that focuses on PC games alone won't sell well is what I think.

If they released it next year, with ram prices being lower (hopefully) and a few months before pc release of gta 6, it's going to be amazing.

[drowsy isle]

I'd just spend the money on something else, oled monitor, better gpu, anything else. VR is fun but can easily get boring

[mint umbra]

VR is on the way out

[stray portal]

Im trying to sell my psvr2 but i just got troll offers and unserious buyers (even when im selling it for really cheap, AND with the pc adaptor)

[remote swallow]

problem is Less people play VR > less game support VR/get made > repeat

[drowsy isle]

PC market going to be fucked for a while most of the ram hasn't even been made yet

[jaunty apex]

VR game marketing is also turbo asscheeks

Nobody does it

[stray portal]

Now looking back i couldve gotten an oled monitor for what I paid for my psvr2

[restive plinth]

VR is a very very niche area with very few users. It doesn't make sense for frequent gamers (with exceptions)

[mint umbra]

Cuz there is zero interest

[stray portal]

It was big but it died off

[remote swallow]

I want VR but i lowkey want that VR in one of those giant machines so i can run

[jaunty apex]

Mfw the "interest" from rec room and horizon worlds gets pushed to vrchat

[stray portal]

Vrchat is full of weird "people"

[mint umbra]

So is discord

[restive plinth]

It's still great for events and stuff where you could play something on it for a few minutes. For regular gaming? Nah

[jaunty apex]

Welcome to the internet

[drowsy isle]

The only game I've really played was beat saber on my quest 3 and a bit of half life alyx so I hardly even used my headset

[stray portal]

Rec room was decent until they became predatory atracting children

On top of that the devs were always stubborn, entitled and rude, so now their game is shutting down 😆

[remote swallow]

beatsaber is probably the only game i actually wanna play in VR fr

[jaunty apex]

Roblox still exists

[remote swallow]

roblox doesnt just exist

roblox is the biggest thing in the world

[stray portal]

Rec room was so shady it was crazy, now looking back everyone glazed the devs for no reason, one of the head devs told people to change their skin colors so the ad they were recording would look better

[stray portal]

Not for long, theyre making games be paid to publish to everyone you have to have a subscription

[remote swallow]

i think you forget

once you have the children hooked, you can charge whatever

[stray portal]

There wont be roblox anymore, there will be like 4 different versions for each age group

[jaunty apex]

S&box gonna kill them

I hope

[remote swallow]

S&box will not be nearly as popular as even Garry's Mod was.

[stray portal]

Rec room tried to copy roblox but forgot who made them their money, it is so funny

[jaunty apex]

.. Do I hope that?

[drowsy isle]

Its fun especially when you can easily clear expert+ levels

[stray portal]

They pushed away all their good players and were only left with children who didnt know how make games, so in turn the children stopped playing rec room because there was nothing to play

[jaunty apex]

Idk I just want Roblox restructured from the top down at least, and indie devs to be supported

[stray portal]

They also said they cant do lots of stuff because weird made up reasons, but then when game was dying they did the stuff the community was begging for for ages

Too little to late

Im so happy their game is shutting down, i actually was speaking to one of their teams a few years ago and i literally told them if you keep acting like this your game will die really soon

Guess who was right 😎 😎

[jaunty apex]

Not me

[sage ocean]

Can the 9950X3D run a 2x64 kit at 6000 MT/s (kit is rated for this) or should I keep it at 5600 MT/s

[cold skiff]

From seeing my kid play the categorisation of the games within Roblox, the overall search/favourite list etc. really needs work. The amount of duplicates/essentially the same game really spoils what they currently have and the ability to search for “the main” game and subcategorise that by people’s moderate tweaks or spins would be a great and easy start for the devs to do. Although that would definitely undermine some of the more popular spins on some games that are pulling more players than the main game they’re based on.

[rough salmon]

hmmmm what storage should i get for all my stuff, me and my gf are coming off USBs and just using google drive now

[cold skiff]

It does seem that any old shit can be released on Roblox. I don’t understand it well enough to know

[rough salmon]

roblox KIDS and select is gonna solve this issue

owners will have to pay £5 a month to have their games to show for under 16s, this is good so that theres no dublicate games, and like no condo games either since its gotta go through checks

[remote swallow]

soldier boy this depends on how much you use now, you can always upgrade later

[rough salmon]

rn its hitting the 15gb mark, maybe ill get the 100gb one and once thats full i get 200gb? good idea?

also u mentioned my boi

[iron glen]

Man what

[gilded harness]

what

[scarlet fiber]

Is there any settings that I can change in optiscaler to not get banned, bc I just use it for better fsr and play games like bf6 and arc raiders

[cold skiff]

If you’re using upscaling for those games you need a better gpu, to turn down settings or you’re a bit special

[solar moat]

i'ed be shcoked if it cant run ddr5 6000

i not realy seen any 32Gb ram oc

[sage ocean]

Doesn't the IMC trip out at higher capacities

[gilded harness]

hmmmm

Tempted to get OLED monitor but damn those mini led monitor looks interesting

[native path]

is this in baht?

i assume it is because it says thailand but i dont actually know

[gilded harness]

yeah

[stray portal]

Is this real

[native path]

how much is that monitor arm??? 😭

[gilded harness]

215 usd🥀

[gaunt spade]

son

[gilded harness]

its cheaper than in the US i assume

[gaunt spade]

i can buy 2 monitors and an arm for that price

[gilded harness]

i had it in my shopping cart cuz i used to own an ultrawide lol

[gilded harness]

true

[median warren]

I have the same monitor arm but it didn't cost me that much

I also bought it like a year or so ago

[gilded harness]

which one?

[median warren]

It was still expensive

The ergotron XL monitor arm

That's made for 34 inch monitors

[gilded harness]

oh i didnt read the "arm" LOL mb

[median warren]

It's the only monitor arm I found that can hold 34 inch heavy monitors with 0 shaking and stabley with good movement

[median warren]

Dw

[gaunt spade]

i wish i had a monitor arm

i have monitor on the table

[median warren]

I did too

I can relate to the pain, mostly just because they're quite flimsy

[sinful cobalt]

it should be able to unless you have an absolute ass imc

[solar moat]

not realy

[solar moat]

also maybe depending on your workload incress fclk/maybe try even faster ram/fix the timings

[gilded harness]

he loves it

[median warren]

Cute

[pliant edge]

finnally replaced the EK 360mm aio with a lian li 360. got the new one for 20 dollars from a local ewaste recylcer

where is the best place to get more of those lian li fans? i need a 120mm and a set of 140's

[gilded harness]

facebook marketplace?

i dont think its worth to get them if you don't have fish tank case

[pliant edge]

its worth for me so i have a set profile.

its only like 40-50 dollars in fans anyways. i was actually thinking about getting a new case with a non tinted side panel

[gilded harness]

try find them used

[median warren]

Why would you replace an ek aio with a Lian li one

[gilded harness]

^^ was gonna ask that

[gaunt spade]

i wish i had ewaste recycler

[median warren]

I'm sure you do somewhere

[gaunt spade]

no

[pliant edge]

becuase the ek was a piece of gabrage. i didnt have the right am4 brackets so i did a janky mount and it sucked.

[pliant edge]

if you ever need somthing just lmk im able to grab stuff for others and ship. i have a ebay storefront for reselling from there

[median warren]

That's the mount's fault then not the aio

[pliant edge]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/257396711040?
i just need these but in black. lol

[gilded harness]

get white case lo

[gaunt spade]

i need parts

[median warren]

I've thought about it tbh, and instead of going with an arctic lf3 aio I'm going with an ek nucleus(replacing the fans) for my 2nd pc

[solar moat]

2DPC ram

[median warren]

How much

[gilded harness]

i def need new set of fans too

[pliant edge]

shoot me a dm. and we can see if i can get what you need :)

[gilded harness]

my corsair fans kinda dying

[gaunt spade]

whats ur storefront

[median warren]

Mine too

[median warren]

Woah

[pliant edge]

i have a b650e asus rog board i need to get tested one of these days too. had like 6 bent pins but i only paid 5 dollars for it

[gaunt spade]

crazy

[pliant edge]

time to turn off rgb entirely

[gaunt spade]

selling?

[terse pewter]

nice deal

hope u get it working

[gilded harness]

yeah im going to disconnect those 3 fans

[pliant edge]

check your dm's

[brittle lichen]

yo any reccomendation for a nas case wich support atx board with 6 to 8 bays ?

[pliant edge]

hard drive bays? or like dvd drive bays

[brittle lichen]

hard drive bays

[deep musk]

Mostly 2000s case (a thermaltake armor lcs is insanely good for that)

[median warren]

Hi poignee

[pliant edge]

there isnt many case's left with hard drive slots. i think most of the corsairs are mim 2 drive cage's

[deep musk]

Hewowowowowwowo

[median warren]

How was the apple tree cutting

[deep musk]

(That’s my nas’s case)

[deep musk]

Long qwq (gotta continue today)

[deep musk]

Supports 11 drives

[median warren]

Good luckkk

[brittle lichen]

i know i'm stuck with an old antec case and cable management is horrible

[deep musk]

Thanksies

[pliant edge]

get something like this

[median warren]

Looks like a mini fridge/something that belongs in the kitchen

[brittle lichen]

what's the model number ?

[pliant edge]

just think youd be able to read and write all of your floppys in this bad boy

[gaunt spade]

where do you find these

[red light]

So what do you think of 128gb ddr4 ram?

[pliant edge]

i paid 50 cents a pound for it at the recylcer. they sell complete pc's without the storage for 50 cents a pound

sadly they have started selling anything newer then 6th gen intel for 3 dollars a pound. i somehow managed to get 32gbs of ddr4 for 50 cents a pound before they changed it to 3 dollars a pound

[median warren]

Insane deal

[deep musk]

My nas case

[median warren]

Like you've actually profited 100s

[median warren]

It's very 2003 vibe

[gaunt spade]

wish i had recycling in my country

[pliant edge]

this was like a month or two before the ram storage. i got 50 dollars for the ram 😢

[brittle lichen]

un can remove the disk from the front ?

[red light]

I think I might love 128gb ddr4 from 2014-2016

[deep musk]

It’s from that era (came with a 240 mil rad from the factory)

[red light]

That ram size is so cute

[pliant edge]

basically what i have but in the cheapo rgb corsair ram

[median warren]

They is pretty cool

[gaunt spade]

2400mhz

[deep musk]

Yes, it’s not a drive tho, it’s a 3.5” drive caddy, it’s the power button and reset switch and drive and power led

[deep musk]

Yesss

[brittle lichen]

oooooh i like that

[deep musk]

That ram must be at like the slowest ddr4 jedec speed

[deep musk]

It supports up to 11 hdd “natively” and 10 of them are “natively” cooled

[brittle lichen]

the fans are at the back of the drive ?

[deep musk]

The small caddy has the fan at the back (90 mm) and the 5.25 to 3.5 gets two 120 mm fans attached at the front of 7 hdd (in the front of the case)

[brittle lichen]

well i just need to find one now

its perfect

[deep musk]

There are some on eBay, I got mine on fb marketplace for 20 CAD (I had a massive luck and found it as a system in unknown state and got a whole amd athlon 64 x2 system with it for free (750 semi modular psu and a 650 ti 2gb)

[brittle lichen]

really good deal

[deep musk]

Yeah, I am missing a fan braquet but I’m gonna 3d print one and I had to replace the stock (20 years old) fans too but that’s to be expected

[stray plinth]

uh is this safe?

[deep musk]

No

Scam/virus thing

[bold olive]

pasting a command to harm hour computer

[brittle lichen]

yeah now that i think of it early 2000 thermaltake case are just full of hdd caddy like the spedo or the chaser

[deep musk]

Do not do that

[stray plinth]

im not gonna

[bold olive]

DO NOT do that.

[deep musk]

(A lot of early 2000s cases where made with a ton of hdd “caddy”)

[deep musk]

Good

[stray plinth]

turns out the site i was tryna go to is shut down now so it just redirects you to random sites now

[median warren]

What were you trying to do

[stray plinth]

i was trying to go to bonetome, for boneworks mods but they moved to thunderstore

[median warren]

Be careful

[deep musk]

Thunderstore to my knowledge, it’s been a long time since I used it, is safe

[brittle lichen]

true but most of them are a ppain in the ass to cable manage

[terse pewter]

yeah but its thunderstore

[warm anvil]

fucked around in my css to give myself a custom banner

cause im BROKE, only i can see it but thats fine

[deep musk]

Wait, that’s actually really neat

[warm anvil]

I edited it a bit cause it changed everyone's banner

Now it used a user id

.header__5be3e:has(img[src*="764516200948432896"]) [class^="banner"] {

Windows defender is trying to send the cache file from my nvidia drivers to microsoft

[pure trellis]

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/cyber-security/the-chernobyl-virus-turned-27-today-and-it-could-brick-your-pc-in-ways-modern-malware-cant

[keen walrus]

yo guys, could use some help

I've just built a pc, and during the windows installation after it said waitting for windows update to install screen went black,

after 5 minutes, I've shut down pc by button, turn it on. It went pass the bios logo and now its been about 15 minutes that its still black screen

[deep musk]

Reinstall windows

[keen walrus]

how would I do that?

[deep musk]

Like you did the first time?

[keen walrus]

I only inserted usb stick and it showed me the installation screen

btw I have MSI motherboard with lcd diagnostic screen on it, and it sits on 32 and in manual its this

it goes to 31 and 33 sometimes, like rn its 31 but usully it goes between those 3

[deep musk]

Go in the bios and put the usb drive in first in the boot order

[keen walrus]

boot priority?

[deep musk]

Yes

[open rock]

does ayone know of a good sbc with 8gb ram usbc power and a gb ethernet port for under $100

[deep musk]

Raspberry pie (i f I remember correctly the new gens uses usbc)

[open rock]

im ok with going up to 120 if it hase 16gb of ram

[keen walrus]

I've did that, I thought I did something wrong. So i disconnected everything except keyboard, turned it on again and I have this

I've pressed exit to windows

[open rock]

is it a desktop or laptop?

[keen walrus]

desktop

[open rock]

do u have important data

[keen walrus]

no, its first time installation

[open rock]

i sugest reinstalling then

[pallid cargo]

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ene.old - Win64/VulnDriver.WinIO.D

C:\Program Files\ASUS\Armoury Crate Service\SystemDevicePlugin\Driver\AsIO\AsIO3_64.sys

Hi, I get these flagged as potentially malicious, can I have the AW delete them or should I do something else

[open rock]

defender flags lots of stuff just quaritne them for now and googel if those gets fulsly flaged often

[median warren]

Of course it's armoury crate

That god for saken software, my god

[open rock]

also try flashing the cmos and making sure evrything is seted in properly

[pallid cargo]

yeah I hate this damned software

[median warren]

What do you use it for

I'm sure we can find a different program to replace it's use with

[pallid cargo]

mobo RGB.

How much harm can I cause if I ask ESET Nod32 to "clean" the sys32 driver?

(This is in hungarian, please translate)

[deep musk]

Use openrgb instead of armoury crate

[median warren]

Use signalrgb or open RGB, it will sync all of your RGB on all of your components

Then no need for 7 softwares just for rgb

[open rock]

use signal rgb or openrgb

[pallid cargo]

yes but how much harm can I do if I ask the AW to clean those

[deep musk]

No idea, might not be the best idea tho

[open rock]

@keen walrus are u comming right there?

[median warren]

Well by the looks of it, you're deleting armoury crate registries, which is fine but I'm not sure why system 32 drivers are there

Google what they do or ask ai tbh

And if you want to delete a software or any game or anything, use revo uninstaller for a deep scan and to remove ALL the files and registries along with it

[open rock]

when will the system icon for new server members go away?

[pallid cargo]

how trustable is this

[deep musk]

After like a week

[exotic swan]

hey guys

[pure trellis]

https://www.techpowerup.com/348530/apple-set-to-become-third-biggest-laptop-maker-this-year is dell struggling?

[median warren]

Yeah thought so, so basically:

[pallid cargo]

messed up then, had some sketchy software on my PC that was a genuine virus and just deleted the program files folder for it

[exotic swan]

is it normal for samsung to make your face look like a water painting? when ur taking a video with selfie cam

[median warren]

You'd be deleting the driver that's responsible for the lighting of the RGB and the armoury crate software, which is fine

It won't kill your pc

[median warren]

Not sure how you did that

[median warren]

There's too many factors here to consider

[open rock]

and even if it was smtimportant the worst is u would have to reinstall windows

[pallid cargo]

no thank you

[median warren]

Like, what phone, where you moving, where you shaking the camera, did you use a filter, is your lens clean, etc

[median warren]

It's very simple but you won't have to do that, you can get rid of those 2 things you showed earlier

[open rock]

if u find a virus id sugest backing your data up and reinstalling

[exotic swan]

i have the s21 and it does that when im still, i always make sure to clean my lens and use 0 filter

[median warren]

You mean the quality is bad or did it genuinely apply a water painting filter

[pallid cargo]

what the hell is this now

[median warren]

Hang on

[exotic swan]

the quality is horrible for uhd at 60 fps

[open rock]

what languge is that

[median warren]

Hungarian

[median warren]

I don't think that that's a dangerous file

Also what are you doing on your pc

[pallid cargo]

uhhh

gaming?

[median warren]

I don't have an anti virus and I'm fine personally

You don't really need one

[pallid cargo]

I'm rather stupid so I prefer having one

[open rock]

dont use a anti virus windows defender is good enof

[pallid cargo]

to be fair, it did alert me of some truly sketchy app

[deep musk]

I think your av is really fucking shit

[keen walrus]

I've tried to reinstall windows from recovery page but It wont do anything

I'll go to bios next

[median warren]

Yeah just the thing is, anti viruses won't prevent from smart viruses

[median warren]

Just delete armoury crate

[deep musk]

Or dumbass users

[jaunty apex]

ESET is one of the better ones I thought.

[open rock]

befor u do unplug the pc and remove the cmof battery

[pallid cargo]

I'm rather fine with ESET, yeah yeah some false positives but honest to god I'm blaming armoury crate

[deep musk]

Defender is the best one, it’s free and builtin

[open rock]

then short the cmos pins of leave it there for like 5 min

[median warren]

It is known to be one of the worst softwares

If you want to control RGB, just use either signalrgb or openrgb

[jaunty apex]

Defender is alright for most people

[median warren]

No need for anything else

Yeah

[open rock]

just dont install stupid shit and ul be fine

[jaunty apex]

Sometimes I'd recommend a scan from malwarebytes if you're sketched out but. If you were compromised I'll probably recommend a wipe sooner

[pallid cargo]

thats precisely what I did like 4 years ago, which is why I got the notifs in the first place

[open rock]

i was just about to say i did the same befor i swiched to linux (i use arch btw)

[pallid cargo]

something something "viddly youtube downloader" and something something luminati networks in the files of said downloader. I have no idea why I downloaded that shit but I do remember doing it

[jaunty apex]

ffmpreg

[open rock]

if u think u have a virus just reinstall windows

but back up your data first

[pallid cargo]

I have absolutely no intention of going through all this trouble

[frail sequoia]

What do yous think of the new wallpaper

[pallid cargo]

my PC isn't locked down or anything and it seems I had some israeli botnet thing on it for years so

[open rock]

@keen walrus make a thread on tech suport so u can be helped better without the other convorsations in the way

[open rock]

my ears

i hade it on max

[median warren]

Honestly if you just reinstall windows you'd be better off, just to make sure nothing bad is on it

[pallid cargo]

what

[frail sequoia]

Turn it down then 🤣

[jaunty apex]

Fun for the whole family

[pallid cargo]

I mean it seemed really old and i hadnt touched that app in years

[pallid cargo]

yes but I really don't want to go through all the trouble of reinstalling windows right now

[deep musk]

https://tenor.com/view/sealyx-naked-gun-the-naked-gun-facepalm-facepalm-meme-gif-11743768702765397589

[open rock]

@pallid cargo just back up your data and reinstall since ur inanyway reinstalling try out linux

[pallid cargo]

bro I have said like twice I don't want to reinstall

[open rock]

then just live with the virus

[median warren]

It usually takes about 20-30 minutes but I understand, just delete armoury crate and you should be fine

[pallid cargo]

as I'm scanning the PC again, it seems I managed to delete everything ESET flagged except the armoury crate shit

and I'm considering just living with that since I did update armoury

[open rock]

scaning does shit if the malwear hides

[median warren]

Just delete armoury crate and you'll be better off

[pallid cargo]

yes but this is some low level dumbass malware, if malware at all

[median warren]

If you want to control RGB just install signalrgb or openrgb

[open rock]

and delte all our rgb softwear and replace it with siganl rgb or openrgb

[pallid cargo]

one was the luminati networks thing, the other was some cracked game (yea ofc it was), both were deleted and it doesnt detect them anymore

[deep musk]

Low level stuff as way more access than “high level malware”

[open rock]

u probaly have like 50 viruses lol

[jaunty apex]

Never know how deep it goes

[open rock]

just reinstall it will also make your pc faster i presonaly hade to reinstall twice today i broke my arch

[pallid cargo]

I have nothing of value on this and I do not want to reinstall. Anything of value could have been stolen/hacked/taken months ago already ¯_(ツ)_/¯

this build is a clusterfuck of files no matter what, so I'd rather not spend the rest of my day untangling that

[open rock]

a virus can cuse phiscal damge to your pc u know

[deep musk]

People like you is the reason why “customer support” scams work

[vapid ibex]

Fiscal policy ahh spelling

[jaunty apex]

Ehh.. Those tend to be more targeted ngl

[pallid cargo]

not surprised you would say that, oh well. some (possibly false) positives is not gonna have me reinstalling my whole system

[open rock]

sorry about that english isnt my first languge and im dislexic

[pallid cargo]

I mean think about it, what stops for example this place from giving malicious advice?

[vapid ibex]

Oh mb lol

[open rock]

iv lost a gpu to a miner bofor

[median warren]

Why would we give you malicious advice

[open rock]

lmao

[jaunty apex]

Well at least when you post a Mr beast twitter ad we will know

[median warren]

Like we're genuinely here to help people

[deep musk]

Idk, since when does reinstalling windows can install a virus??

[median warren]

There's a forum just for tech support

[obtuse yew]

Ah yes because we get payed by the hour to feed you bullshit

[open rock]

what are the chances of 7 people all giving u the same malicuse advice and googel it its the best way to get rid of malwear

[deep musk]

You get paid?? Lucky bitch

[obtuse yew]

I get paid in linus coin

[deep musk]

Ohhhhh makes sense

[jaunty apex]

Some people make it their hobby

[pallid cargo]

yeah wouldn't be surprised, never had this acc breached so it's about time

[deep musk]

https://tenor.com/view/sealyx-naked-gun-the-naked-gun-facepalm-facepalm-meme-gif-11743768702765397589

[open rock]

1 linus coin = 15usd

[obtuse yew]

That is why I only get fractions of it

[pallid cargo]

dead ass I do not want to go through the trouble of reinstalling windows + all the gorzillion apps I have for something that I'm 90% sure is a non-issue

[obtuse yew]

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

[vapid ibex]

Some viruses can target the bios but that's very rare. Otherwise the virus could be backed up on one drive or smth and then reinstall itself

[deep musk]

True, but from what it looks like, this person very probably never uninstalled it

[open rock]

then dont if u want to lose preformance and maby loose your ceditcard info and maby damage your pc bc ur lazy the go for it

[jaunty apex]

Ive had my steam, discord and AWS compromised and ive been dailying Linux for 3 years now. (Haven't been compromised in over 3 years NOW but)

[pallid cargo]

You do not have to continue calling me stupid, you do not get paid for it and the chances of me changing my mind are still very low

[deep musk]

Don’t bring Chernobyl to this

[open rock]

what distro (i use arch btw)

[jaunty apex]

Even LTT got compromised lol

Cachy

[obtuse yew]

I've never had anything compromised because I stick to the google authentication app

[open rock]

i do i get paid in linux coind to

[jaunty apex]

I use Aegis. I like my security FOSS

[obtuse yew]

I should prolly put authentication on my war thunder account now that I think about it

[pallid cargo]

fair enough

[deep musk]

Yes

[vapid ibex]

I use Linux from scratch 🙂

[jaunty apex]

But I did have 2fa. They can bypass that with social engineering or cookie stealing

[vapid ibex]

Loonus

[pallid cargo]

is your advice to basically reinstall windows everytime I get some sort of positive from any more or less sketchy AW?

[obtuse yew]

It is actually beginning to become valuable

[median warren]

No, it's to reinstall windows, stop using an aw stick to Microsoft defender and don't download from any dodgy sources and use trusted software

[deep musk]

No, reinstall windows this time and only use defender instead of paying for something worse

[jaunty apex]

I'm more stringent about it now, I still highly encourage TOTP but not a silver bullet

[open rock]

no our advice is to reinstall bc u hade 2 flags and u playes cracked games

[deep musk]

Oof, yeah

[pallid cargo]

I have not used that game in god knows how many years, keep that in mind

[deep musk]

https://tenor.com/view/sealyx-naked-gun-the-naked-gun-facepalm-facepalm-meme-gif-11743768702765397589

[jaunty apex]

I wish warframe used TOTP

[median warren]

You know I love the contrast between tech chat 1 and tech chat 2, here it's viruses, windows, software and it's tech chat 2 it's literally about going bald and shaving nuts

[open rock]

doesnt mean shit the malwear got on when u installed it

[jaunty apex]

Warframe "HAS" 2fa but ive effectively never used it

[median warren]

I thought hunhow was going to be a Warframe reference

[keen walrus]

yo @open rock @deep musk just wanna let you know that I fixed the Issue simply by what poignee said. I just reinstall the windows by setting the usb with install as priority. Thanks both of you, now its installed

[vapid ibex]

Stop larping about viruses chat

[deep musk]

Glad it worked

[median warren]

Stop larping as a seal

[open rock]

im glad it works now if u need more help feel free to ask or dm me

[pallid cargo]

Feel free to take this as ragebait, however, what is the issue with using external AWs other than wasting money.

defender never put any warning/notification about the stuff I had installed, eset did. What harm can it cause to have an external AW other than defender, besides monetary loss

[open rock]

lol\

[pallid cargo]

yeah not gonna get a real explanation now either, am I?

[median warren]

It can conflict with Microsoft defender although rarely, I suppose that's 1 of the reasons not to have it and also because they're usually not needed as defender is enough

[jaunty apex]

Norton, Avast and the like existing, and background processes from them can take even more processing power

[median warren]

That too

[open rock]

do u even wach ltt

[median warren]

So it can take away performance from your CPU

[deep musk]

Defender does when there’s an actual potential issue, also when you install another av you have to disable defender

[pallid cargo]

oh okay, thank you this explains it clearly.

[median warren]

What the others said is also true, such as some minor performance loss

[open rock]

do u even wach ltt if u did ud know this stuff

[deep musk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKLTGoftJi8

[jaunty apex]

Norton and Avast is treated like malware as far as I'm concerned. ESET people say is good but I only really think of Malwarebytes to do a scan if needed

[pallid cargo]

no, I come in here once in a few months to get tech support, mostly because I have neither interest nor knowledge about tech stuff and this chat helps quicker than watching LTT.

[brittle lichen]

honestly eset and malwarebyte are good

[open rock]

wach some of them it will halp u alot and it is very entertaing

[open rock]

there good compaird to the rest but still bad

[brittle lichen]

i wouldn't say bad especially for malwarebyte since its free

[median warren]

Threatlocker is best in terms of the 0 trust policy, but its not for home use

[jaunty apex]

I just don't like malwarebytes spamming you with ads. I get it you need money and manual scans are free but still.

[open rock]

i do like malwear bites i often used its scaning feacher but not as a active antivirus

[brittle lichen]

yeah

[median warren]

Malwear bites

I'm not making fun of you btw, just funny

[open rock]

talkign about antivirus what can i use to do acasional scans on my linux pc not a active antivirus?

i know it a meme using a antivirus with linux

[jaunty apex]

Clamav but it only searches for Windows viruses really.

[open rock]

thanks it will halp with wine pacages and linux iso

[median warren]

Mmmm, wine

[open rock]

@pallid cargo so are u living with it or are u reinstalling

[median warren]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-wine-tired-cat-with-wine-gif-1106872935704015304

[jaunty apex]

Bros not reinstalling.

[open rock]

he prob doent know how and is to ashamed to tell us lol

[deep musk]

Dude will never reinstall

[pallid cargo]

Not RN cause I don't have my whole evening to spend on reorganizing my shit, + yes, as you mentioned, I don't know

about why I don't want to reinstall windows:

1. The installation I currently have is a clusterfuck since a decent chunk of files are ported from an old PC I had. All very disorganized and I have zero idea how or why it still even works.
2. My hardware is about to give up, so within months/a year I'll have to rebuild my PC anyway and do a fresh install.
3. I have no credit card/payment info on this.
4. Every file that was flagged, I have had for years without having anything happen. Which is a very naive take, however I don't have time atm to clean my garbage up.

may reinstall when I'm off for the year

[open rock]

then reinstalling will decluter and make it faster

alsodust your pc pls

[pallid cargo]

yes, it's dusted.

[open rock]

u sound like a person with a dusty pc

also a reinstall and reoganize only take a hour or 2 at most i do it often when distro hopping or breaing my install and myn is semi riced and evrything

[median warren]

1. Move all of your old files to an external SSD and keep it in that

2. It may give up but reinstalling it will give you a better experience and an overall faster one until you're done with it

3. No need for credit card for windows, you can get it for free with just 1 command line

4. Still a risk but as long as you're fine it, it is your choice

And I'm not trying to force you

Just explaining the advantages

[open rock]

wont moving it to a ssd also move the virus and thay sed that dont have imporatant stuff on there

[pallid cargo]

look man you really don't have to continue. Out of all 3 people in this convo you have so far been pretty much the least helpful. Yeah, I'm not listening to you, sure that's annoying, but I also don't assume things of either one of you here.

Oh and instantly telling me to reinstall and that I may as well install linux did not help whatsoever.

[open rock]

it will make it feel like a new pc

[median warren]

Thats a good point

[ionic ember]

man asks for help, gets hostile when help is offered

[pallid cargo]

yes but this is precisely what I don't want

[median warren]

No worries

[deep musk]

Indeed

[median warren]

Did you see our conversation about going bald

[jaunty apex]

I mean its kinda justified atp

[ionic ember]

bald by choice is very powerful tbf

[open rock]

bc it will stop u from getting your cards drianed lossing ur steam acount wasting our cpu on the antivirus and stop miners from breaking your pc as well as speed yp our internet if its a bot or worm malwrear

[pallid cargo]

alright, thank you

[median warren]

It is isn't it, how long do you think it would take to go bald on the entire body

[median warren]

Np, at the end of the day just do whatever you're comfortable with, I won't force you

[ionic ember]

not sure but shaving your head with an electric razor takes like 5 minutes

[open rock]

and if ur not going to listen to our advice y even ask or be on the discord if u dont wach ltt or care about tech

[pallid cargo]

which of the programs you recommended is better, signal or openrgb?

[median warren]

Speaking from experience or?

[median warren]

They're both pretty similar, so you can choose either one, both is good

[ionic ember]

oh no, I'm too much of a coward/have an intact hairline

[jaunty apex]

Signalrgb I'd imagine is put together nicer but its also proprietary iirc

[open rock]

siganal rgb is better for eas of use i onl euse open bc im on linux

[median warren]

If you have a good hairline then no need

[open rock]

this is such a fun discord ngl

[ionic ember]

but if you choose to be bald and have a good hairline? that's true power

[jaunty apex]

I'm still considering it

[median warren]

Yeah that's a chad move

[pallid cargo]

Because this is still a lot cheaper than asking an actual computer technician just to get told to do the same. I will take your advice about deleting armoury, I just don't want to reinstall my entire system right now

[ionic ember]

one of the guys in archspire is bald by choice and I respect the hell out of it

[median warren]

I might go bald now

[open rock]

so ur abusing the server to get people to help u and waste there time with your shit

[median warren]

I'll grow out a beard and go bald, literally flip my face upside down

[open rock]

bald+beard=chad

[deep musk]

It’s a server with a dual cpu config and two redundant psu, how can you be surprised it consumes 200 watts at idle??? https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1497967968758399086

i didnt see it was dual thats y i tought it was smt wierd

[deep musk]

Like, that’s a low draw for such a server

[deep musk]

Dual cpu and psu qwq

[median warren]

Me drawing towards the bottom of the canvas, because its a "low draw"

[deep musk]

Like how are they using that yet don’t realize what hardware it is

[deep musk]

[open rock]

holly nasa computer

[pallid cargo]

• #tech-chat-1
• asks for help about tech
• does not force anybody to help me and I don't believe I spammed the channel either
• Get shamed because I don't want to immidiately reinstall windows

I don't know if me asking for help because I'm not interested in tech, which is why I need help in the first place, is any abuse, but if yes, sure I'll leave, no problem

[median warren]

That's what poignee wants

Dual epyc, dual psu

[deep musk]

(Not really, it’s not even that powerful for a server ngl)

[open rock]

delete the antivirus and rgb tools tho and runn ctt win debloater be carfull tho

[pallid cargo]

I don't know what ctt debloater is.

Do any of you have the patience to assist me in deleting all my RGB shit and switching to signal, or should I just fuck off?

[open rock]

its better than myn 8gb ram and intel I7 4th gen i think i might be wrong on the gen tho

[open rock]

i do i would love to help

[deep musk]

Would be the dream but I can’t fit a dual psu system (and dual cpu) system in a “normal” atx case and I need it to be air cooled and I keep my hearing too

[deep musk]

It is but your system is very probably proportionally more efficient than that server

[median warren]

I don't see what the problem with having 10 80mm fans on 100% is. Just get used to wearing hearing protection whenever you enter within a 1 mile radius

[pallid cargo]

Alright, you did succeed in getting me to delete armoury atleast
so:

1. Do I delete armoury and the other programs first (I think I have armoury and icue) or do I install signal first
2. Do I delete said apps in the control panel uninstaller or somewhere else

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

[open rock]

@pallid cargo run this in your terminal as admin irm christitus.com/win | iex

[deep musk]

There’s a parent approval factor to keep in mind

[median warren]

That's gonna be a bit complex rn, and scary for them

You'd need to VC with them so they can stream

[pallid cargo]

what is this

[median warren]

Because Chris Titus tool can be intimidating to someone

[open rock]

good idea lets all hop on a vc together

[deep musk]

no

[open rock]

is there a vc on this chanel

[open rock]

not u

[deep musk]

Nope

[median warren]

Egy szoftver amivel minden be tudsz állítani és ki kapcsolni, olyan cuccokat amit alapból nem látsz, nagyon erős és jó, csak lehet hogy kicsit félelmetes először

[iron glen]

there is for floatplane iirc

[open rock]

Magyar volt az összes írás amikor küldted a screenshotot XD

[median warren]

Don't worry

[pallid cargo]

jaaa igen az segít 💀

[median warren]

Ja, back to English tho, cause rules

[pallid cargo]

yes no problem

I mean yeah I'd prefer not to immidiately start pasting stuff into the terminal with admin perms

[median warren]

Start at the basics, you've done 1 step already

[open rock]

samer

smart*

this one is safe tho i use it all the time

[pallid cargo]

I have nothing against VC though, I'll end up doxxing myself anyway

[open rock]

np i can dox u without a vc

i wont tho

[pallid cargo]

yes but I still don't know you, and despite me being too dumb to reinstall win10 I'm not gonna automatically listen to a strangers advice in a discord, especially when said advice is telling me to paste commands into cmd with admin perms.

[open rock]

i use wireguard and use my own server as a vpn i just need to set it up still

[iron glen]

oh great heavens im soiling my pants at the thought of getting my personal details leaked

Your precious DMS and discord account

[jaunty apex]

Good to know

[iron glen]

this is the most peacocking ive seen here i think

[open rock]

ok install signal rgb

[median warren]

I recently switched data SIM providers, right and I've got unlimited data now and priority coverage, so I'm just permanently on data now and 24/7 vpn

I will no longer connect to a WiFi network ever again

literally installs armoury crate

[open rock]

delte the others and set it up

[pallid cargo]

already had to allow some windows thing for signal to work

[median warren]

Yeah

That's okay

[jaunty apex]

its gonna take a bit but ok ill try

[pallid cargo]

actually don't bother, you'll doxx me very easily

[median warren]

Doxx him so we can report you and ban you

[pallid cargo]

no point in doing so since I'm active in other communities

[median warren]

Take the bait

[open rock]

im not that good i just tought since hes so bad at basic sequrity

[pallid cargo]

*security, and can you stop with the insults now?

[open rock]

that wasnt a instalt and im dislexic

ok can i help u further

[pallid cargo]

just because I do not immidiately reinstall windows does not mean I have the tech literacy of a 95 year old grandma

[median warren]

[open rock]

lol

[median warren]

Love me some gilfs

[pallid cargo]

1. How can I control my RGB individually (I wanna shut off the mobo and graphics card RGB)
2. Do i uninstall armoury and icue from the control panel uninstaller or something else

[open rock]

use revo unisataller for the others

[obtuse yew]

Signalrgb or openrgb

[pallid cargo]

signalrgb

[open rock]

hes on signal

can we do a vc and u share ur screen?

[pallid cargo]

not with you no, with tomi sure

[open rock]

thay should add a lounge on here ngl

[open rock]

y not with me

[jaunty apex]

No VCS here

Unless you pay money to luke

[pallid cargo]

because I do not entirely trust you due to the language used + basically constantly trying to pressure me into reinstalling or using stuff I have no knowledge of. Tomi atleast acknowledges my incompetence and converses me through that filter

[obtuse yew]

dm

krille

[open rock]

i dint pressure u i just adaminly insisted u reintall but ok

tomi show him the ctt debloat

[pallid cargo]

oh thanks

[open rock]

can i join the vc tho i want to hear what he tells u to do

[jaunty apex]

Lmao bro.

[open rock]

im curios lol

and u all can vouch that i didnt suges tanything malusios

[jaunty apex]

This feels like harassment and I'm not even on the receiving end

[open rock]

how?

[jaunty apex]

I know what CTT and Revo are, idk if I can vouch for Revo though I know its popular. Just not a tool I've used.

You're just too insistent. You can suggest something but you cant control what they do

[open rock]

thats fair im sorry if i made u feel presured krille

[pallid cargo]

Kean, you are helpful, but you asking if I'm sure I'm not stupid, repeatedly telling me to reinstall despite me saying I'd rather not do that and sending me instructions without any explanation whatsoever is defo not something that'll make me more comfortable having you guide me through doing anything else on my PC.

[open rock]

oh krille if u dont want to reinstall but u want to deblat run the following with cuasion O&Oshutup win10++ ctt debloat winaro tweaker bleach bit and revo unistaller

[open rock]

my apolagies ill try to be better and i undersatnd if u dont want my help

im sorry im used to very toxic discord channels

[open rock]

ask tomi to giud u throu those dont do it alone

[jaunty apex]

Citing (very recent ideally) reputable sources to videos you got these tools from might be more helpful. At least two of these are pretty advanced tools and can end up fucking up your system

[open rock]

good idea ill send them throug the ones i found

[pallid cargo]

does it work if I uninstall armoury from control panel, since I have no clue what revo is?

[jaunty apex]

I don't even recognize all of these

[pallid cargo]

and what should I do with logi G hub, I hate that damn software but need it for my headset

[open rock]

u can just uninsatll normaly revo is just a way of uninstalling it and all its depencys

[open rock]

googel alternitives for it

wach jayz tow cents on stuff u need for your pc it hase most of the softweasr i mensiond

[pallid cargo]

please type this in a coherent sentence

[open rock]

sorry im bad at that my bad

[pallid cargo]

I understand you are dyslexic but that is not understandable

[open rock]

sorry i know its bad its cuz im typing fast

[jaunty apex]

Jayztwocents YouTube channel has videos like "install this on your PC" or "top 5 tools I use" on his channel that talks about these things

[open rock]

the last part is about revo https://youtu.be/xyPY9_h4vZs?si=2MQvSXbB09uPevPO

[pallid cargo]

oh thank you

[open rock]

thats so much better than how i sed it lol

[pallid cargo]

alright, now the armoury crate warning is gone as well

only one I have left in the AW is about the ene.old driver

[open rock]

id also recomend unistalling ur antivirus and reactivation windows defender

also try running disk clean up

[pallid cargo]

so the private networks should be connected?

[open rock]

no thats fine probaly have your home network set as a public one

[pallid cargo]

I already have it like this on the other panel

[open rock]

that looks finwe to me

thats just your firewall tho not your anti virus

[jaunty apex]

You wanna be in windows settings for that, not control panel

[open rock]

henhow do u want to hop in a vc with them to help them ill help from texts

[pallid cargo]

is this file important whatsoever

yea VC is not required I'm almost done

[jaunty apex]

Egh. Damn latency.

[jaunty apex]

Unlikely? Why are you removing it

[open rock]

Dont just delete stuff

[pallid cargo]

because thats the one last thing being flagged as a safety risk. Contains vulnerable drivers

[open rock]

Just update ur drivers

[median warren]

Rule of thumb, if someone has a furry or fursona pfp, they'll give you the best tech advice ever

Listen to them

It means there probably a arch user

[pallid cargo]

already have

everything should be new

[open rock]

All of them cpu gpu mobo wifi

[jaunty apex]

Pack it in a zip and get rid of the main file I suppose, it won't be able to execute in there at least if it is malicious. On the off chance you do need it

[open rock]

Y in a zip?

[jaunty apex]

It won't execute unless invoked

[open rock]

Make a resore point befor u do all of this incase u break ur os

[open rock]

Smart

[pallid cargo]

when can I be sure that I don't need it? IE, if I remove it from the folder and PC runs fine, does that mean it wasnt needed?

I know from online that its for some RGB control

[open rock]

Probably just make a restore point befor

A restore point is a way to go back incase u break smt

[median warren]

Posting this in both tech channels, my mum's birthday is coming, she works a lot from home and is relatively tech savvy, any idea what I should get for her birthday? All ideas are welcome

[jaunty apex]

Yeah from what I was seeing it was for some peripheral/Human Interface Device but if everything works fine after removing it, shouldn't be an issue

[pallid cargo]

how can I make a whatever point that kean suggested?

[open rock]

A adapter to make a internial nvme or sata drive into a external one

[open rock]

Ill tel u now

[deep musk]

What’s your budget?

[open rock]

are u win 11 or 10?

[median warren]

She just had a company laptop as her work computer so I don't know if that'd be needed

[median warren]

£300

[open rock]

maby a sbc

thats always fun

[median warren]

SBC?

[deep musk]

Damn, nicey

[deep musk]

Single board computer

[median warren]

Ohh

[open rock]

like a rasbeary pie

[deep musk]

What are her hobbies?

[median warren]

What about a really nice keyboard

[open rock]

u cam use some of the nicer ones as a mine server and stuff

[median warren]

She needs a numpad

[median warren]

Uh honestly, she's been getting into knitting/sewing, and loves travelling

[deep musk]

If she has a desk setup that’s a great idea

[jaunty apex]

I never used restore points on windows unfortunately so i wouldn't know.

[open rock]

@pallid cargo do u use win 10 or 11 i want to sned a giud on how to make a restore point

[median warren]

Any recommendation for a keyboard with a numpad

[pallid cargo]

win11

[open rock]

ok ill send one thourg now

[jaunty apex]

I know how to fix things I broke on Windows, not how to prevent breaking things lol

No wonder I have so much issue

[deep musk]

Knitting material (I think, it’s yarn, not 100% sure) could be a nice touch too

[open rock]

https://youtu.be/Nm2EjpsOXms?si=UiahOW2vGVOzTwvs

[median warren]

I can squeeze that into the budget probably

[deep musk]

Linear or clicky switches? (Clicky makes more noise)

[open rock]

or thawky?

[median warren]

I don't think she minds that much, so any is okay

Numpad is a must tho

[open rock]

id sugest thawky its the best balance

[median warren]

No numpad, no use for her

[jaunty apex]

Thocc comes from linear

[open rock]

how about a custiom make your own keyboard kit u sed she like tech?

[median warren]

She's 54 and she has all of these old documentations of like being trained how to use a computer when they were so new only a few workplaces had them

Bro her typing speed in her prime was insane, she's putting all of you to shame

147

[deep musk]

Clicky are quite noisy so if she works in an office linear would be better for her neighbours

[open rock]

lol i cant type witout looking at the keyboar lol

[median warren]

Neighbours LMAO

[median warren]

Gotta learn buddy

[deep musk]

I was trying to find the right word for office “neighbours”

[open rock]

@pallid cargo hows it going did u get it right

[deep musk]

[median warren]

Oohh I thought you meant that it's so loud the neighbours over the walls can hear it

[open rock]

lol

[deep musk]

Noooo, although some might be

[median warren]

Send me some recommendations anyway, for all the options

Worse case I'll return it

[pallid cargo]

was doing somthing else

[median warren]

If she doesn't like it

[deep musk]

I’ll try (im guessing no anime decal?)

[open rock]

ok np do u feel comftrebel fo a vc now or still not if not its 100% fine it might just take a bit longer

[median warren]

No no

Thank you poignee, I can always count on you

One day I'll return the favour

[open rock]

ooo try ceramic swiches thay sound so nice

i mean keys

[deep musk]

No decal in general or some are oki? (If so which ones?)

[median warren]

No decals, she likes her keyboards clean

[jaunty apex]

Keychron is generally highly regarded

[median warren]

But other designs are fine

[median warren]

I was thinking of them too

[pallid cargo]

I created a system restore point and promptly had my AW delete the ene.old

[open rock]

maby like side profile letters that always looks supper clean

[deep musk]

@median warren if your mom likes Lego, there’s a Lego custom keyboard that arrives disassembled (I can try to find the link back if you want)

[deep musk]

Which color?

[pallid cargo]

absolutely nothing has changed so far. When can I see if deleting ene.old had any effect? PC works just as usual

[median warren]

Any colour is okay, her favourite colours are nature colours

[median warren]

Yes ofc

[open rock]

ok good do u want your anti virus or are u fine with deleting it and using the windows one

[pallid cargo]

I still want it

[open rock]

ok what one do u use

[pallid cargo]

but when should the effects of deleting ene.old take effect

ESET nod32, has worked great for me so far. Did remove all the malicious files when I ran it as admin

[open rock]

probably when u restart

[jaunty apex]

Reboot likely.

[open rock]

from what iv heard it one of the better ones (still bad tho)

if u like it stick with it

[deep musk]

They have a whole line up of Lego compatible keyboards (you can customize the “chassis/frame” with genuine Lego bricks and minifigurine https://kbdcraft.store/products/adam2-0

[open rock]

do u want to try bleach bit or ctt debloat

[median warren]

That's really cool, ilysm thank you

[open rock]

thats cool

[median warren]

I'm definitely giving you a small gift when I see you poignee

[open rock]

@pallid cargo did the reboot work?

guys i found out smt horabel

[pallid cargo]

yeah, rebooted and nothing is wrong

[gilded harness]

hmmm

[open rock]

999isnt divisibel by 33

[pallid cargo]

finally

[gilded harness]

idk what should i get between black or red mousepad for white desk

edgy setup

[open rock]

black

[open rock]

do u want to try using bleach bit or ctt debloat

[deep musk]

Not surprising math inventors were weirdos (im super sarcastic, this is a joke, im trying to be funey )

[pallid cargo]

I'm fine, thank you man

[open rock]

ok no problem if u need more help feel free to ask or dm

ill be nicer nex time

promis

[deep musk]

Red like blood’s colour (or white with blood drips, gotta crank the edginess slide to the max)

[median warren]

Blood has such a pretty colour

How do I she spoilers in text, is it with | ?

[manic raven]

this seems too good to be true can anyone find a catch? https://www.bestbuy.com/product/alienware-aw2726dm-27-qd-oled-qhd-240hz-0-03ms-freesync-premium-pro-gaming-monitor-with-hdr-hdmi-displayport-black/J3K4L6WZQ6

a oled for 350 bucks

[open rock]

i heard about this

[sinful cobalt]

its not uncommon nowadays also that model was released for that price

[jaunty apex]

||

[sinful cobalt]

granted its the shittiest of shit oled panels

[open rock]

its still better than ips tho

[manic raven]

how so? im new to oled idk what is good or not

was looking at that one or the hyperx oled

[sinful cobalt]

basically any glossy oled will beat any IPS/VA/TN screen

cheap oled so it’ll pale in comparison to other better models

[open rock]

crt is still the best tho

[stark flicker]

Any oled will beat any ips/va/TN *

Except for super high end mini led

[sinful cobalt]

if you willingly choose a matte oled frankly speaking I consider ur opinion to be entirely invalid

[open rock]

tn<va<ips<oled<miniled<crt

[stark flicker]

I did not but a matte oled is still leagues better, and yes I've tried them

And no most mini leds are worse than any oled

[open rock]

mat ones are only good on laptops and phones for the glear

[open rock]

realy?

[stark flicker]

I have a friend that had a glossy oled and switched to a matte one, on a desktop, his desk room was really annoying glare wise

It's still leagues better than anything non-oled/miniled

[open rock]

agreed my walet doesnt like them tho

[ionic ember]

I went from IPS to matte OLED and it's been great

[jaunty apex]

I love CRT but idk if I'd consider it better than a good Oled panel

[open rock]

crt is the goat

[stark flicker]

Yeah, I have one and friends had one it's just not comparable to any oled, even older low nits tv

Tho, a high end one can close the gap and be better in some use cases vs some oled

[sinful cobalt]

panels aside I can only see matte being nice for touchscreens other than that if you willingly choose matte I subject you to either skill issue or you just love to settle for less

[open rock]

the dual panel oled are realy nice

[stark flicker]

I understand not liking matte oled, I don't

But don't say it's worse than ips lol it's absolutely incomparable

[sinful cobalt]

most ips monitors are matte anyway kek

[stray portal]

Windows is really cool i like how even if i shut it down and turn off power cord it opens up what stuff i had open

[sinful cobalt]

infact like every IPS/VA/TN panel afaik is all matte

im not sure about miniled

[jaunty apex]

Linux can save session too.

[stark flicker]

Matte isn't the same on every screens same as glossy coating aren't the same everywhere

Modern high end matte coating can be really good, and yes if you do have glare it can be useful, it's a fact

But a good glossy will be better in an ideal scenario yes, however don't say matte oled is worse than ips lol it's not and not close

[open rock]

linux does that to and linux is far superior to windows

[stark flicker]

Panels aren't the coating, you can have any coating on it

But yes it's more common for desktop monitors to be matte, however glossy do exist

[stray portal]

Can it save it even when full shut down

[sinful cobalt]

i didnt say matte oled is worse than ips lol

[sharp ivy]

what about glass

[vapid ibex]

I love glossy monitors

[stray portal]

Ive never had any sort of hibernation work on linux, it only saves the things and reopens apps

[grizzled frost]

glossy great for desktop, matte best for laptop

[vapid ibex]

Coating sometimes ruins the image quality

[sharp ivy]

Glass monitor makes nice noise when tap fingers

[open rock]

u did it worgn then

[stray portal]

I dont mean that windows just reopens them i mean that it opens exactly how it was before

[stark flicker]

You said "any glossy oled will beat" which implied some matte oled do not beat, but yeah I may I over interpreted

[vapid ibex]

On KDE there is a session save

[flat cliff]

What's the worse keyswitch socket and does gatteron fit it? I've got an old red dragon board I'm concerting.

[open rock]

yes linux did that to it was on by defult on kde i hade to turn it off

i can even choose when i want to save it ot not

[jaunty apex]

I don't remember tbh, I don't use the feature. Think KDE has support for snapshotting but idk. As far as hibernation goes you generally want swap that's double the amount of memory you have installed for that to work

[sinful cobalt]

because my other argument is that matte is trash imo, therefore im not directly implicating matte oled is bad but only shaming the type of coating

[stray portal]

Yes ive used it and i know but what i mean is windows opens it exactly as it was

Kde just reopened them i think not exactly like it was

[vapid ibex]

Apples cinema displays are kinda cool looking

[sinful cobalt]

bcs iirc they use glossy

I dont remember a mac Ive used be matte

[vapid ibex]

Yep I like the glossy look. I wouldn't use it outside tho

[open rock]

it is exaclt like it was

[vapid ibex]

Like a matte screen would be way better outside

[jaunty apex]

I can test rn I think tbh

[sinful cobalt]

glossy anyday unless Im sitting somewhere where the sun is blasting the screen

or if im using a touchscreen device

[vapid ibex]

That's why for laptops matte is better. They are portable for a reason

[stray portal]

Hmm maybe i forgot

[sinful cobalt]

idk about you but I dont have the sun blasting my laptop wherever I sit

[stray portal]

Kde is super cool i think it would have it

[sinful cobalt]

Ive had that happen once and I just changed my seating in the class lol

[open rock]

u should try linux again

[vapid ibex]

Don't gotta be the sun can be indoor lighting. Depends where you work

[flat cliff]

?

[sinful cobalt]

theres hardly anything ive experienced that can beat the sun glaring directly at the screen, not unless your indoor lighting just really hates you

[stray portal]

Ive used it for a while i loved it and still do but my workflow kinda requires windows

Im still keeping up on it tho

[vapid ibex]

Could be a light bulb on top of u

[jaunty apex]

Yea actually don't think it saves session

[sinful cobalt]

skill issue just sit somewhere better away

[jaunty apex]

ah well

[open rock]

look how cool my task bar in arch looks\

[stray portal]

Also arch community is really toxic, i love the distro but the community sucks

[open rock]

true lol

[stray portal]

Next time ill stick to ubuntu or opensuse

[stark flicker]

It's situational, if you have heavy amount of glare you don't really have a choice...

[vapid ibex]

Lol sometimes you can't do that . Some classes require you to be seated in a specific place

[open rock]

dont use unbuntu use debian its better

[stray portal]

Opensuse is one of the best distros imo also made in europe 🇪🇺

[stark flicker]

Why? From my experience they've been super helpful

[stray portal]

Theyre helpful but they can be really bad too

Helpful but toxic 😔

[open rock]

there not that bad

im not toxic

i was a littel mean to kroliv or whatever his name was

[stray portal]

😪

[vapid ibex]

It's true I'm the most toxic person if you ask me how to use arch install I will eat your computer and spit it inside a volcano

[stark flicker]

I'm pretty sure most of the time when a community is big there will be toxic people and it's not really arch being more toxic than others

[deep musk]

If anyone wants to suffer with me: #cars message

[jaunty apex]

CachyOS people seem chill tbh

[open rock]

i dont like arch install it lets a whoul buch of laze and stipid people use arch and flood the wiki with them

[jaunty apex]

Yeah even mint feels like that to me

[open rock]

cuz there not real arch users

[stray portal]

Cachyos and endeavour are cool

[stark flicker]

CachyOS power users that will help people are basically arch user tbh

I've helped numerous people on cachy and I'm not a cachy user but a arch/nixos/rhel one (usually)

[open rock]

i recewntly used endever os and its just arch but bloated

[vapid ibex]

I could care less I use it. But I don't care about posting about what operating system I use... Ya no I really could care less it's just that windows doesn't allow me to use 160gb of ram on the home version and I don't really wanna pay so I just use Linux

[jaunty apex]

A lot of people argue otherwise and I get it, its driven by kernel patches and external repos but its still rolling fast enough to keep up with aur

[sinful cobalt]

still an issue of skill

[vapid ibex]

Wdym real arch users 😭 bro it's just an operating system

[open rock]

i do to but not for my fist install i break arch alot so i reinstall alot

[stray portal]

I also used it for peace for mind i am experienced in both OSes so if needed to i can use both

[stark flicker]

I haven't reinstalled my arch install once in 4 years of daily archlinux usage

[vapid ibex]

Welp as long as I can do my work I'm fine. Also really helpful that they upgraded it , back then it wasn't that good imo and had some bugs and issues

[open rock]

i do realy wierd stuff on my arch thats y it breaks so often

and im bad at using arch

[vapid ibex]

Anyone who reinstalls their operating system every month or so DOES NOT do actual work on it

[jaunty apex]

I struggled a bit with arch. I did get it installed on my own but it was still a pain. Endeavor didnt perform how I'd have liked ootb though this was around 2021 or so.. Cachyos coming from mint has an excellent OOBE and has been very stable and performant for me for the 6 months ive used it

[stray portal]

One thing i dislike about linux is that theres doubles of stuff like themes and icons, and the login cant access the user stuff only root.. so if you wanna do any ammount of customization you have to use the root folders anyway so the user folders are useless

[open rock]

evryone strugels with arch and now the arch install makes it realy easy

[stark flicker]

Well using arch is using Linux but as a power user so you can just say that you don't know a lot about Linux, yet, which is fine

Either you'll learn or don't care enough and fall back to something more streamlined, which is also fine

[deep musk]

Next os for me is nyarch

[open rock]

no i like the learing part thats y i break it so foten i like experamenting

[stark flicker]

Things are also way easier now than 5-6 years ago so that's something but yeah

[open rock]

i heard thats good

[stray portal]

Weird os for weird people

[jaunty apex]

Archinstall failed me enough for me to not bother

[stark flicker]

The basest OS is nixos anyway

[deep musk]

And im fucking proud to be weird

[jaunty apex]

I considered it before I used Mint tbh

[open rock]

nah mints ass it only good for beginers

[stray portal]

Rather than arch install a fella should just use endeavour

[open rock]

it one of those u only use for a bit to see if u like linux

[jaunty apex]

I love Mint. Its always been the most consistent for me

[bold kindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K55FpxzStHg so ''100*C operating temps as intended'' was a bit of a lie i guess, seems like that was a core cause of the recent instability and self destructs.

[stark flicker]

Never used it, never understood the appeal, always found people having more problems with it than without lol

[stray portal]

Mint isnt good for anybody its sloppy

[jaunty apex]

I said I tried endeavor, didn't perform how I wanted back then.

[stark flicker]

Endeavouros doesn't really have any appeal now that cachy is there

[open rock]

cashy is great

[stark flicker]

One thing for sure I see way way way way more Linux discussion here on LTT discord than a few years ago

[open rock]

me personaly i whould use linux based on another i prefer to start on the ones it is based on eg arch debian gentoo

[jaunty apex]

Eh arch purists maybe. But I don't see the point in that mindset beyond maintainer trust I suppose and in the name of knowing every config (which most users are gonna forget a week later)

[deep musk]

Hey, respect my grandparent’s os (I made them try a bunch of Linux distro and all 4 of them chose mint)

[open rock]

the year of linux is near

[ivory mountain]

its never happening, give up.

[open rock]

lol mint is good for people who dont understan teach that much

[jaunty apex]

I started with Raspbian, as far as I'm concerned, any entry to Linux is valid enough.

[open rock]

never linux is supirior and its comming up

[stark flicker]

What are you responding to?

One advantage of using pure arch vs one of its child is the fact that arch was here before and will be here after any of them

[jaunty apex]

Worst case on cachyos I can switch to official arch repos.

[deep musk]

You know Linux is the most used os world wide, right? Almost every single server uses Linux, android is a version of Linux, even fucking teslas uses Linux as a base

[jaunty apex]

Thats not not an option

[stark flicker]

Well, yeah that's neat indeed

I really like cachy, though I won't use it, it's a cool thing that happened to Linux

[open rock]

The only thing holding it back for desktop is compatibility once more developers embrace it, it will be the best os

[ivory mountain]

im completely aware and actively dual boot it

its never going to be the #1 consumer home OS, anyone who says it is is just coping

[stark flicker]

If I told you I bought a tesla and the fact they are using Linux was the biggest factor to me what would you say lol

[flat cliff]

?

[jaunty apex]

Wine is making strides. Far as anticheats go, thats another ordeal

[open rock]

Flatpak is also helping alot
