That's a PCIex1 connector
Ah what is its use
any PCIE card that uses a x1 interface
It functions identically to a standard PCIE x16 slot, it just has less bandwidth available
Ahh that makes sense so i can put something like a ssd adapter to it right but it wont be as fast
Thats cool i can use that as a secondary without having to remove my other m.2
Mhm
Well, double check it isn't shared with that m.2
Sometimes PCIE Slots can share bandwidth with the M.2, so if you use the PCIE slot it might disable the M.2
Should be in the motherboard manual
Could i use a 4 pin connector for a fan though?
I noticed i have a 4pin connecter on the other side
Or would i need an adapter for a molex
Or whatever is common
Molex fans have to use Molex, you should get 4 pin fans though
molex fans are loud, as they can only run at 100%
Just reminded me
I found an RGB Molex fan in my closet yesterday
Gonna hook it up and see what it's all about
Nevermind I don't have Molex
I mistook my PATA for Molex
you have molex, everyone does if its a custom PSU (not from an OEM)

the smell alone = trash bin
How would i go about with wiping a old Seagate ps4 hdd without the ps4 i don't have it
to get rid of it?
no reuse it's a 1t
pop it in a PC and boot off gparted live usb
delete all the partitions on it, reboot into Windows, format it
all they can do is disassemble and clean it
Aggressively
if it dies then oh well, better than smelling cat piss
use an igpu for web work and read books or something
Unofficial AMD FSR4 support for Radeon RX 7000 thanks to leaked files When AMD accidentally released the source code of FSR4, it included an option that modders quickly picked up and implemented where AMD had left it. This concerns the INT8 (8-bit integer) version of FSR4, which was mistakenly published. AMD rushed to remove the […]
Whats the point
there is none which is why AMD hasn’t done it themselves
RDNA3 was EOL two years after release
i feel bad for people who bought 7900XT and 7900XTX
Uuuhhh as an owner of one, I... Literally don't care about it anyway. Lol.
you can get improved image quality at native res (fsr 4 native >>> TAA) or better performance with upscaling
i would be pissed if i kept my 7900XTX
Question: are there any other sites aside from PCPP that you can see completed builds based on parts used?
Looking for more completed builds with black cases with all white parts (mobo,gpu, AIO) etc
youtube reviews etc
but if you mean with an official sorting option then no afaik
I’ve been all over YouTube looking for it. Not a fan of Reddit.
I am building this weekend, all white parts into a black Lian Li o11 compact and I was looking for some ideas/examples
lower than what?
does disk management in windows recognize it as a drive?
native i think lol
much lower than FSR3
not a fan of one of the largest repositories of information on the internet?
i don’t really like reddit either but i’m not opposed to using it
I don't post on reddit generally, but if I need to look shit up or reference things?
I'll absolutely use it
opposed to reddit for simply looking up pictures is the weirdest part
nothing offers what PCPP offers for picking key parts and seeing other builds built around it
I read reddit a bunch but I don't contribute
The saved posts on my reddit account are 99% 3d printing sff cases that I'll never get around to making
yeah i have a bunch of timing setups saved to “try” (never look at) in mine
Pretty much
err..
My original reddit account got banned
So now I'm on a non-verified burner
The ideological tilt of the platform and of the neck beard moderators is enough to keep me away.
I reported too many posts as spam and I got flagged for abusing the report system
weird flex, but you do you
I’m not so sure that’s a flex, I am just explaining since you asked.
garbage in, garbage out. you're in the wrong subs
That’s fair
or don't know how to place nice with other humans
Hey now
Some of those moderators stuff from alopecia
10 years lol
reddit is far too large and diversified to be labeled one thing.
I mean for years r/TheDonald was a thing
I miss good emotes. Anyone wanna buy me nitro
soon as I buy myself Nitro, I'll get it for you

Deal 🤝
your account is probably as old as the average tech chat one user
whatever the emotes are that show up when i click the button I use. I'm unaware of and frankly don't care how you use any others
at this point i don't scroll past frequently used
i just type emote names when i go to send them usually
I have multiple online accounts that are MUCH OLDER Than the majority of this server's users
my GMail is almost 20 years old

“amd is openly mocking intel” meanwhile AM4 was EOL three years ago
rereleasing the same r5 5600 cpu under five different names is not keeping the platform alive
marketing fud
@topaz veldt “X870E Aero Wood” might interest you for your white North
i imagine that’ll be white and wood
and no new core architectures since 5 years ago really
they just delayed the release of the 5800x3d by two years
damn, what a concept. needs more of that wood in the lower right and it would really be cool
everytime i try to do it the role just doesn’t show up in the list
I like it, and I don't normally like all white boards
i just don't auto fill a role and it works
just type it out and send
i think i used the role id last time i did it
the cover that says Gigabyte should be the same wood
ok damn
would the wood not be an insulator on top of the chipset
also thats gotta be a render
shhhhh
forgive me gigabyte I was not familar with your game
gigabyte has been slaughtering everyone else in the looks department
how does my pc crash so hard it logs me out of spotify
i wish they’d make an ATX normal layout 1dpc board with 10gb
gigabyte is just all about wild shit these days
barely even recognizable as a motherboard lol
there's one guy on the ocn forum rocking this board
I think with a FE card this would look hype
Am4 is older than 4th graders and is still getting updates 
i'd totally do that
would be even better with the piano black rtx 6000 pro blackwell but I think I will just stick with a 5090 FE
This just arrived the other day for a build this weekend
you got enough heatsink?
Gigabyte has been making some good looking boards the last few years/gens
I remember in the later 2010s gigabyte made some of the ugliest boards
MSI was pretty bad too
Then I guess they hired a bunch of designers around 2020 and it freaking worked
gigabyte can make the boards as pretty as they want but the software still sucks
not gigabyte but floppa and I discovered this last night. Crosshair VIII Impact has post code readout on the I/O shield
blew my mind
does it have it on the board too or just on the I/O?
just there
still pretty neat
Deepcool stuff is still against the law to sell right? Saw a local tech store still selling them lol
DTX! Why isn't DTX more popular? It's a better form
if they're still getting new stock, it's probably grey/black market
If it's old stock they had a bunch of it can be sold iirc
if you're gonna do it, do it right
the vast majority of ITX cases will fit DTX no problem.
I feel like it's a better formfactor than ITX
will they?
if the case has 2+ PCIE slots right there, yeah
and most non-sandwich style cases do
5600F
is a 5500
oh snap:
that is that chips entie purpose
hi
exactly one hour?
maybe it turned off for windows update or something, does it turn on? check event viewer
new to windows 11 can u tell me how
nvm
are you familiar with the concept of sleep mode
hey floppa remember that discussion about voltage specs yesterday
kyoko isnt
I don't think todays ipad kids are
gonna go buy a mac mini fr
or .85
trying 0.85 for 32/32 my chip sucks
😭
depends on cache and PCIE Generation
hi
5500 is crap cache and PCIE Gen 3
5600 is less crap, and PCIE Gen 4
so it might just be a really shitty 5600
no i’m well aware of the concept, msi isn’t
its vermeer ig
so its a really shitty 5600
nah ipad sleep after 5 minutes!
REALLY shitty
400mhz lower peak boost lmao
that would be cool, though my north is mesh side family room build I don't even see it
what is that even, 4.2?
@frank zealot tempted, but then at same time, not worth over 3900x/3700x/5700G i got in my X570/B550 boards 😄
welcome back skylake
haswell clocks are back
there are use cases, but... not 200 bucks worth
yeah bro
does unplugging the computer count as a cold boot
or am i gonna waste all day stabilizing something and it’ll break the following morning
i feel like yeah it counts
praying to gelsinger
at some point I feel like I'm going to buy this to try and print it:
https://www.gambody.com/premium/uss-enterprise-ncc-1701-d
okay WTF is going on in utah this month?
Lmaooo
its utah, what did you expect
not much, but not that
You should have expected that
if he did it at a museum, it'd be worth 50K
goddamn writing one handed is hard
writing is hard
Are x570 motherboards even worth it?
in 2025? AM4 is generally not worth it
no
unless you're buying used
Kk
Buying a platform that was "end of life'd" 4-5 years ago is not a smart move
Compared to what? No context?
Like generally today, cuz they are like 370 brand new for some reason in Germany
thats massively overpriced
you should try your hardest to get on AM5 instead of buying into AM4
if you have to get something like an i5 12600k and b760 board instead then that would still be preferable over AM4
even am5 is coming up on basically over soon too
but the esteemed moores law is dead said that im getting zen 7 on am5 in 2028-29 
MLID is gospel 🙏
mlid is about as reliable as my d2d overclock
i ordered a 20 pack of thermal paste last night
time to repaste everything i know of with a heatsink
5090
ROFL:
I tried to send a linkedin link to my GF over messenger?
Messenger blocked the links
that's some sus ass bullshit
linkedin is a terrorist organization u dodged a bullet there
apparently
surely they'll let us use am6 cpus on am5 mobos... right...

do you mean Zen 6?
AM6 shall retain AM4/5 cooler compatability and have twice the IHS size of am5
that'd be physically impossible
physically possible, completely idiotic
Nah AMD loves pulling the impossible
mission impossible
if you double the size of the IHS, the plates on CPU Coolers would be way too small
Iv given up trying to remember the naming schematic once they introduced the ai nonsense
5600F what
amd making their products worse so people can keep their old junk coolers longer
IHS thickness is what i meant lol
5600F is Vermeer with F moniker but Vermeer doesn't have iGPU anyway
then you're being lazy
AM4, AM5, AM6 are the socket
Zen 3, Zen 4, Zen 5, Zen 6 are the CPU Tech
https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-reveals-ryzen-5-5600f-cpu-extending-am4-platform-into-its-9th-year
Come on videocardz, releasing a downclocked version of a 5 year old CPU isn't extending the platform into the future

AMD’s AM4 socket was officially introduced for OEMs and system integrators in September 2016, alongside the Bristol Ridge APU. Few could have predicted that the socket would last this long and become one of the most important shifts […]
Then I hope zen 6 cpus are compatible with the am5 socket?
yes they are, AMD has already confirmed this
400mhz lower clock 😭
Damn that's nice, won't have to upgrade my mobo
i5 110 is too scary they had to respond
there asre rumors that Zen 7 might still be AM5?
But that won't be confirmed either way for at least another year or two
cant wait for youtubers to reccomend slamming them with voltage for normal 5600 clocks and then they just spontaneously combust
they'll put microscopic print that says they're not liable for damage
LGA1200 is a long life socket
if they were stable at 5600 speeds, they'd be 5600.
These are clearly borderline reject parts that barely work
we just got new cpus for it this year
huh
yeah dude 11700k to core i5 110
I'm surprised my 13600k at 1.8v didn't explode
Can't wait for the class action
1.8 what sensor
but they stopped making and selling lga 1200 boards years ago, so like... why
hwinfo
I still wanna know if it's newly fabbed silicon or if they found a bunch of old wafers or some shit
pretty sure intel still sells them to oems so i'd assume new silicon
they must have found some old shit, because why would they produce something that doesn't have supported hardware made anymore
Maybe partners had warehouses of unsold lga1200 boards
no wait im bad
based on retailers, it doesn't seem like it
but who knows
for a big after 12th released z590 boards were atr their lowest point i dont think they have anymore
mc was getting rid of an 11700k and z590 board for 300$
but bro "At this stage AMD is openly mocking Intel"
newegg was getting rid of z590 ocf for like 150$
(by rereleasing a 5 year old cpu for the fifth time)
😭
like what:
when intel does that people make fun of intel, when amd does it people praise amd
we should’ve all gotten $350 z890 ocfs
I've been making fun of AM4 life support for a while
everyone just mocked intel for rereleasing 10th gen which released at the same time as ryzen 5000
people would mock intel for rereleasing 12th gen :p
its just glaze from 3000 series still going
Alder Lake was the only LGA1700 series that wouldn't explode lol
that link is uh
pls trim link
oh man
testbed aio and game
and 265kf
fuck fuck fuck kyoko you are jorkin my chain here
lol
500 dollar Z890 board, jayzus
500$ board with a cpu sure lol
Shit game
still do 8k
taichi isnt anything special i wouldnt overpay for it https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.4817786
anything but releasing an actual ryzen 3 for AM5
the only reason i linked it is i thought it was the ocf
Icl no one's buying 4 cores anymore
fr
it’d make more entry level buyers come into AM5
Z890 Nova 🙏
i think my other friend has a riptide
I need haircut
Tomahawktuah
release a good priced 6 core
🤯
@topaz veldt
maybe if Zen 6 goes up to 12 cores per CCD
Ryzen 3's will have 6 cores
7500f xd
6x zen 5c core
i will be furious if amd cuts 70mm ccds in half to sell 6 cores
nvm nova
wasting a shit ton of silicon
165$
glorious 2nm silicon too
for real
don’t buy the aorus master either
Tomahawk, Unify-X, OCF, Apex, and Hero are the only boards that i would buy personally
it does but it seems to perform worse
yeah my -e was fine
prolly less support
peak mem speeds
Asrock Nova Z890
it probably has worse auto voltages and impedances
perhaps
it's also $460 rn which is just too close to the $580 of the Hero for me to care
if you find it for like $350 then valid it's a good board
brb pulling deal outta ass and buying 150$ -e
yeah if you dont care about the apex being white then that's the play
lowkey close
i dont want a white board
buying one for my wendy’s dumpster find bin 265k
never heard that one before caught me off guard
is slightly more guarantee and maybe faster shipping worth 100$
pretty sure it was core voltage. on my laptop rn but it was this thing
misread sensor
nah it’s b&h they’ll be closed for a random holiday the day you wanna order
lol
and it won’t go out till the following thursday
1 year hassle free bhphoto warranty sounds nice
if this was 1dpc it would be so goated
slap that bih in a white A3
was trying to find the image i posted here to be sure but i think it was pre channel separations
wake me up when there's a z790 encore on eBay that isnt pin damaged or hasnt had repaired pin damage
for $450 or less
overclocking is really fun and hes seeing the vision
he'll get that regardless be real
im waiting for the mpower for my return to am5 i think
ooh speaking of OC, i wonder if i can OC my 2690v4s
no
i don’t want a crappy board again
it’s still the best all around cpu
damn
single core turbo to allcore at most
idk if you can even do that
16XX xeons are unlocked before v4
i'll look at my bios to see if there's any options at all
yeah i plan on purchasing
its some rando hack hollon
ooh
yar har fiddly dee what the fuck be up my Gs
sup peyton
Mooooorning
goodnight for me xd
debating whetber I should go sell my 9070xt and just get myself the R3
yeah just a few hours away from goodnight
apparently its v3 only yeah
Why’s everyone have clippy as their pfp
wdym
e5 26xx v3 cpus can be forced to use allcore turbo
e5 16xx v3 cpus are fully unlocked
v4 cpus are all fully locked
R3?
moza R3 and a foldable wheel stand
ohhhhh
do it
other than for expedition 33 where my 5090 DNFs- its useless rn lmao
coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb moment
see
worlds most advanced plex card
you want the Asus B850M AYW OC
(it’s probably china only)
ayw is a lower product line than prime
safe disk validated 8800 on a 9800x3d and 10400 on an APU 
yes but that doesnt mean its going to be a board someone wants to use every day
yeah rn using the 5090 ice
i wouldn’t wanna daily a china board that’s fair
heresy sandwiched between greatness
i mean z790 aywoc has terrible io
honestly that’s fine
4 usb 2 and just wifi 6 no e is pretty L
yeah the wifi 6 is the only stinker on there
out of an oc class board theyre really fawkin you
but desktops should be wired anyway
real. can I plug in a keyboard and mouse, and maybe one more for a hub if necessary? ok i'm good
my mouse/mic/keyboard/audio are on an usb switch since i have 2 desktops
i just have the controller not on it bc i have no use for it on the other system
If I can get a FE to replace the 9070xt sitting on the sofa sure
interesting
Ill go list and see what offers i get first tbh
why not just run some software that lets u use both w/out swapping
ig this is just easier
bios twin
oh ur right
it has a little remote that sits on my desk
so i just hit the button and it swaps which pc they're plugged into
freakin nerd lives in his bios get a load of this guy
aside from still like the ~85% sleep rate this setup hasn't gave me issues
the computing setup
yeah i needed gear 2 to do homework
do u still need 1.15 vsoc for that
doubt it
okay good
Apparently, a rooted (not my word choice) LG C4 running Hyperion (from what I understand, open source Ambilight) and 80 LED's controlled by a esp32
i just never changed it because it doesn't matter
ooo thats cool
I always wanted "active" bias lighting like that
but the HDMI passthrough versions are problematic
there are others that use a camera to look at the screen
Govee has one, i think
oh its just the number you run realaasf
yeah i have 2 bios profiles saved
and then i just adjust off that for gear 1 or gear 2 setups
i never actually reset cmos and punch stuff in anymore
fair
i type in a lot but thats because i dont consider my setup for the edge done yet cause im a slacker
i have my 265k pc turned off rn for the real test
can it cold boot when i get done with homework
thought about this for the s90d, but i think it would be distracting for movies
i've ran prime at these speeds/voltage ranges long enough im not too worried about it failing for reasons other than the coldboot issues rn
byt it looks cool asf
yeah I'm worried it would be cool for like 15 minutes then get old fast
what's the point of bias lighting
Can’t say I’m a fan of iOS 26 so far
i saw them use it in scrapyard wars but that's the first time i've heard of it
They Windows 11 context menu’d almost every first party app
static bias lighting is quite nice in a dark room. you'd think it would be the opposite but gently lighting the rear of the display looks really nice
it looks cool, it’s good for eye health if watching in a dark room, and it improves perceived contrast if you’re using a lcd display with mediocre contrast
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/CvcgXL/gigabyte-b650-eagle-ax-atx-am5-motherboard-b650-eagle-ax is this a good price for this mobo or are there better alternatives
the active stuff, thats just for fun.
buying lightstrips for the vizio promptly
the apple tv color tuning thing was unironically a giant help
well that and setting the gamma to 2.2 or whatever i said before
found a pic of my old 4690k rig next to my Swan. I did fix them!
shit man that was like a decade ago
lol yup
i had lightstrips around my desk but i lost the controller thing
i just haven't peeled off the wall yet because my house has really bad paint
yeah I attached it to the edge of the desk instead

what will be better for 1440p gaming
7700xt or 9060xt 16g
7700xt is $30 cheaper than 9060xt 16g
9060xt
Well that happened.
but expensive and i less DP port
ur not gonna run 4 monitors in the first place are you
I never thought I’d be running 3 lol
u get 4gb more vram and FSR4
How many monitors, what's the usecase?
i already have 1 that I use as two and I will be adding a portrait
I’d be running 3 if i had more table space
add more
its the dell that can be split into 2 different monitors
ultrawide
and if the 3rd wasnt out with someone else rn
3? easier to say..
So technically if you get a second, you just have two with one just being double the width.
then whatever that line was
Alright, 9060 XT can handle all three of those then.
You also didn't quite answer the question on usecase.
I work
asked what would be better for gaming, got the answer, now is arguing over ports.
I think you did your job @random flame
On... What exactly?
complicated but thanks
cuz i did not checxk that 9060xt all models have only 3 display outs

yeah it's just kinda eh
like I see nothing of value added
there's some new stuff in battery info which I like but thats about it LOL
oh and they improved the photos app
every first party app has extra clicks to do the same shit now
I always used Google Photos anyway
I just think it looks like ass, no matter what you do
i dont get why they fucking devolved safari
instead of a click to view all tabs u need 2 clicks
i can't tell what is changed with the photos app but I don't manually open it
If you reduce transparency in accessibility options it looks a little better but it makes the keyboard look weird in some apps
Pretty sure Safari was already devolved in a way as is. Lol.
I use chrome lol
why is everything good always buried in Accessibility. I should have known
ok yeah that pisses me off, I wanted the improved reading from having a smaller bar but man, i can't easily access all tabs
i use safari for normal searching and brave for reading manga lmao
It’s not like the search function in settings is useful
Watch this
they added haptics to apple music? tf?
randy get off the internet
Its in display and text size
5090 ewaste
yeah i found it, its better
Thanks Apple, very cool.
I forgot they had eye and head tracking
the actual devs are probably getting real tired of this
but they've been tired of it for years
the game is obviously so visually advanced it was made for technology that doesn't exist yet
Like in Iron Man 2
does it actually look any more visually impressive than Cyberpunk fully cranked up?
I've been trying to stay away from any info since I do want to eventually play it
nah there's no way
it looks like bl3 but with the cel shading stripped
Whre the fuq is that
treasure hunt time
I cant find display & text size tf
Settings > Accessibility > Display and Text Size
everything useful is in Accessibility
i feel like liquid glass works much better with light mode
thats the whole point lol

this is crazy thats an apple ad
but battery usage information is way better now which is cool

i want to update to ios 26 but at the same time i dont want my battery to be even more cooked
im at like 78% health now
hold up, you know that Panels wallpaper app Marques got a lot of flack for a year or two ago?
I can think and make good jokes, sometimes
I use it, but just for the free shit. I just realized Justin Maller is featured in there.

I want to try using adaptive power in iOS 26
bro wtf is that gif in audio-tech, Someone throwing Sennheiser HD650s into the garbage?

debating staying on ios or going to samsung or something
the value of the base iphone 17 is undeniable
My experience with my s24+ and s21 have been alright
Samsung usb c ports appear to be made of glass though, or maybe i just suck
lol
I didnt even drop it very much this time
Still cacked
Had to buy a wireless charger
this is why i like lightning
i wont hold you even a little bit i think its a better connector
i couldnt care less about transfer speeds on my phone
my lightning port is unreliable so i don’t have any rose tinted glasses for lightning
lightning was power limited and usb2
absolutely fucking no was it a good connector
mines totally fine i just have to clean it every once and a while
I understand that tbh
The cords are so fragile with the stick but better cord death than port
Idk ive used one iphone ever, a 5s
Trade?
im gonna replace my battery when it hits 68% on my 14p xd
ive had the same iphone official cable since my iphone 7
its seen better days but dont fucking wrench on your cable and it wont break
genuine user error
I personally swing my phone around like a lasso when plugged in and still no issues
Unfortunatly i have awful fine motor control and drop things all the time
Much oopsie yanks
I run over it with a chair
power limited i see but at the same time i also feel like my phone charges fast enough
I ruin headphone cords and ports
i think the 12pm is like 32w charging or something? if thats not enough bro
he doesnt have anything above a fuckass 3080 or 7800xt
my bad, 20w
i can alr tell guys a lowballer
or 25w thru mag safe
sg pc flippers are the pinnacle of lowballing
Bros like me
loooolll
mag safe 🥀
yeah that extra 5w is lost through efficiency
i can feel the 600 sgd lowball for $900 sgd MSRP card
converted to heat
I hereby petition to change the meaning of "lowballer" to a short gangster
i charge my phone overnight
Seems reasonable for a used card
i have plugged in my phone to my pc for a backup maybe 3 times
I would do that icl
so usb 2 does not matter to me
How nice of them to make our phones hand warmers
i have applecare so i just let my battery cycle itself so i can get it swapped for $30 after 2 years
lol
instead of babying it and suffering to gain an extra year
I limit my phone to 80% max charge
Works fine
i just charge my phone once a day to 20% and usually I am good
i meant 80% whoops
20 PERCENT
small difference
i was gonna say you know you can turn on ultra low power mode like, whenever, right?
i honestly cant care less about my battery since its already at 75%
Usually unless im on it for hours watching youtube my phobe is fine
Maybe nedds charged by like 9pm
nah I don't ever turn on low power mode, limits my refresh rate to 60Hz
when it hits 68% its gettin swapped
straight fire
slayyy
they made all the labeling pink too thats so cute
wait did you just get a new phone
me with my old 5y/o 12 Pro Max with 92% battery health at trade in
why are you waiting so long
I like the purple of mine
205 cycles and 1% battery lost on my 16pro already :(
im at 86% and the second mine hits sub 80 im going to the store
i don't wanna look
nah this is someones upgrade for their work line
i have power banks and I dont stress it with mobile gaming as much now
however i will be soon
i dont have anything to do for the comptuer so its just oc stuff and whatnot
misc tech items can finally be purchased
spotify pls give me lossless already
a lot of projects can begin
work bought the pink one?
its someones wife's phone
only 24bit 44.1KHz 🥀
we have a policy wehre you can do a family plan thru work and get 3 lines
floppa boosting the tc2 economy
did pissmaster replace your .icc?
i have a 3 month apple music trial but nothing with lossless audio capability xd (idt airpods p2 are capable)
sell me all the things
yeah i'm fucking with things
tc2 will be booming
no it wasnt on my last pc, should i turn it off?
@merry stirrup see what i mean
yeah idk either, some people say it supports it but isn't it still just bluetooth
Hey guilty
this took days but yes i see your point
13 pro max with a battery replacement for 350 cad or 15 pro max for 550
i dont even know what audio devices support lossless audio
350 cad
im thinkin
as long as its in good physical condition
imho 13pm battery replacement
My desktop amp stuff does, but idk about any bluetooth stuff
you do you, all the power options are under your control. We have no idea what your PC did, for all we know it crashed. If it was a scheduled sleep, you can configure that or turn it off. All up to you, not us.
i want airpods 3
same
Pro 3
shit sounds nice af
Airpods 3 is a different thing
I wanna experience this all day transparency mode
my pro 2's have seen so much shit
fuck you nobody wants the non pro
yeah seems like Pro 2 doesn't have lossless according to rtings
been thru the washer
Holy ptsd
yeah airpods pro 3 doesn't even mention lossless audio
last week or 2 weeks ago when i was out with friends i just left them outside for like
a day in the rain
i was inebriated allegedly
ive heard mainly for wired, Im not sure if my apple DAC insures me to try it lmao, ill try it soon tho
the ambient audio mode and how it BONGs in my ear when it turns off after detecting me or someone else speaking is annoying as fuck on my WF-1000XM4's
yeah it's mostly wired, the DAC should do it
Kinda weird sound circle icl
buy the Pros 2 trust
also they're like 2 years old and barely last an hour now
nah it makes sense
I hate that I'm using Icl so much icl
yeah i'm going to for sure
higher low end cause theyre outside devices and earbuds
i meant 3 but yeah
AirPods Pro 2 are awesome
I mean the 5k peak is weird
the new ones
mine are aight
yeah im not sure about that i dont feel like my airpods lack sparkle
well now you can get more sparkle!
lol
Petition to call the pro 3 the new ones only until the pro 4s come out
my airpods pro 2 have been up for 2.5 years, will be 3 in december
Still has around 5 hrs battery life which is surprising
Thats going to be kinda sharp no?
That high a peak
AirPods Pro 3 have ✨ pizzaz ✨
i have bass reducer on tho cause i prefer to hear more of their boices and i listen to a lot of higher end voices
💀 im sure theyll be okay. I use my own eq when im in it that deep anyways
i use eq on desktop at least when i was using spotify
i eq my own damn voice for discord calls
The better noise cancellation on AirPods Pro 3 seems nice
I love active noise cancellation
i don't bother EQ for Airpods, but for my desktop headphones and speakers I def do
Im rocking a apple dac+bass booster with my IEMs xd
If I’m near traffic on the sidewalk I would absolutely turn it on
i just run apple dac and a usb-c extension
i've just kinda stopped having headphones in while walking around
I feel like you shouldn't be walking around with anc on
cry about it
ANC is so good in public like, my music fr be giving me the energy to walk faster
i feel liek you shouldnt be bothering me with airpods in
Gets hit by a car
I do put on transparency mode on when working though.
have been before its fine
And yes, you can wear AirPods at my job
I want to experience being able to just start having a conversation and not have to fumble with pulling them out, or waiting for it to tell me "Ambient mode.. ON"
not the boys first rodeo
I love using Airpods at the gym and people will ask me how many sets I have left and then I have to take out my airpods and say huh cause I did not hear them the first time
yeah i APP have adaptive transparency mode or whatever that works pretty well, except for wind and whistling
"HUUUUHHHH"
this is so real
so does it come in and out of ANC on its own?
the new ones
I absolutely love these new pedestrian things
or is it a deliberate action by tapping/swipping something
on airpods the gestures to swap the modes are really easy
8 call outs today fuck yeah
my Sony's detect me or someone speaking and pop out but its slow and annoying
Dude if you're not working in some form of infrastructure by the time you get a career going I will be very surprised
you can enable "Conversation Boost" which should automatically focus your airpods on the person speaking to you, as well as changing all sorts of transparency settings
Mac you having fun with your 4 hours of sleep?
omg mac go nap
ok. If anything I expect Apple to do all this better
He's been up since 2 his time
MAC GO NAP
That's what I said
it's been a while since I used it, I am not sure if it will switch from ANC to transparency, but I only have gen 1s so 🤷
No time to nap
I still have AirPods 2 in the home. They still work which is nice
Maybe I could sell them since no one is using them
Do people use normal airpods or is it just pros
I see people have airpods in but icl I can't tell the difference
Are they not all silicon?
reg airpods don't have tips
airpod pros do
also, there is no feature parity, some features are exclusively for Pro
Ew
Yes, the ICs and chips inside the APP are made from silicon, but not all AirPods have silicone tips
So are you just fucked if you have a different sized ear
shrugs
Curious to find out how they feel
which is great, as I prefer the foam tips but they wear out. foam filled silicone seems like a good idea
So jawa said wearing the tips tag in the tech tips server that he's curious on how the pro 3 tips feel compared to the pro 2 tips
Just the tips?
😁
neat
You could get 3rd party foam filled tips for the app2

"I paid for the whole clutch I'm gonna use the whole clutch"
i have sony XM4's now
Looks like that's also a thing
wdym?
Ok maybbeee I should just keep my iCloud Photos to optimize phone storage mode
i’m ready for tim’s tip
I was curious how much storage would take up if I selected download and keep originals
Storage went from 111 GB to like 253 GB
I am at 70GB of 128 used
teach me your ways
I have 256 GB of storage available so I still can’t slack
If I had 512 GB then maybe I could have some slack when it comes to storage
I'm at 110 of 128
I wanna factory reset my phone but passwords and citrix secure access
yeah not worth it
losing 2fa codes on accident cause you didnt back up ms auth or something sucks
I think I figured out why
lol
get that shit of your phone lol
I would never pirate switch roms
Never
why does snapchat have to take up almost 5GB of storage
Why is ffmpeg 29gb
wat
Yes
whats in your ffmpeg bro
why do you have a ffmpeg file on your phone
Its 29gb on my phone
That video was to big to upload to teams
Anyways
there you go
Even better
huge
Now clear yours
it was in fact still not cold boot stable @merry stirrup

How long have you been lurking worm
what behavior?>
if vnnaon is set too high it’ll either fail to boot or just be completely unstable
but i’m kinda burnt out on trying to diagnose it further to gain ~2ns in aida
Worm do I get iPhone 13 pro max for 350 with me having to replace the battery included, 15 with a new battery for 420 or 15 pro max for 550
15 with new battery for 420 is probs the sweet spot and should be a decent jump over the 13 one would think
its more effective to just learn/do tertiaries instead
200mhz on both isnt the end of the world and its a min max either way if your chip just wont do 34
rn im just gonna use the pc
Pro max for a slightly better processor would be a hard take at 550 130$ diffrence for a small performance jumps
well it's 400mhz on d2d vs my stable
Which one of my computers is the best:
HP EliteBook 840 G6, Intel i5-8265U with Intel UHD 620, 32 GB RAM (think DDR4), 1 TB SSD.
Medion Akoya E4200 D (MD8359), AMD Athlon II X4 640 and AMD Radeon HD6450 DirectX 11, 4 GB DDR3 RAM, 1 TB HDD.
Fujitsu Siemens T-Bird, Intel Pentium 4 Willamette, some Nvidia graphics card, 256 MB SDRAM, 80 GB HDD (am a bit unsure, think it is tho).
Some Highscreen stationary, Intel Pentium 100 MHz, 32 MB RAM (originally 16 MB, I believe), 1.2 GB HDD.
Only pros all the way sire, get that 120Hz
i'd get the 15pm for usb c
If the non pro doesnt have 120hz display that'd be a good factor if gaming
If it has more ram, a better screen, and more storage potentially myte be the route
I know i got my s25u for 700 ish and the s24u for 600ish
But 512gb storage 12gb ram, refresh rates/res etc made it a more viable price
I wonder if me asking for IMEI and battery health immediately is putting sellers off
Cuz I've messaged like 30 sellers and I've only gotten like 6 reponses
Should be fine battery health is kinda random but fair for apple things
Imei is pretty normal as well to double check if its stolen/carrier locked etc
yeah it's valid things to ask, the people selling probs just don't want to do it
the first one
and it’s probably ddr4 yeah
my mesages have went from hope your having a good day! blah blah blah to just whats the IMEI and battery health
100% 30 minutes ago.
it does have more ram yeah
welp
Every bit of ram matters in phones
joined a 30 minute meeting
i bet using the mic just killed it
6 gb ram on 12-14pro
its with my phone too, just listening to audiobooks
8gb ram on 15 pro
so you ready for the new ones
And then 12 GB of RAM iPhone 17 Pro
if Sony can send me some XM5's, i wouldn't complain
Obviously, lol, for their different eras the Highscreen one is definitely the best tho.
SCAMSUNG
sorry if I struck a nerve there, just breath
Dw, I will take any opportunity to dunk on them
fair
LG + Apple rumored to make the worlds best 42" 240Hz 6K tandem OLED glossy monitor
man, just posting bait and not a single nibble

we found a cute kitty on the streets with extra thumbs and now he’s ours

opposable thumbs means danger
stupid cat
stupid fricking cat
i don’t mind it
idiot
can someone recommend me a decent case fan? I need an extra exhaust fan

he’s got a cinnamon roll esk spiral on him
Just be careful theyll get theyll get their extra claw stuck and sometimes gotta helpem, sweet baby cinanabonnn kitty 
do u think there are other options? I have these on my aio and they are too loud, I don't need it to be super powerful
7680x4320 @ 240hz 42" glossy and bright as a G5. Can't quite think of anything better unless I just say somethign dumb like "well why not 12K?"
Got them thumpers
We know from proven testing they're not too loud, you just haven't properly configured your fan curve. Those fans probably don't need to go over 40% PWM duty on a consumer platform that just plays games and less intensive things.
And what they're probably doing is following a stock motherboard fan curve that has them hitting 80% at 65c or something stupid
my fan curves are set
Lol
god damnit
lmao
what about the p12 pwm?
Not correctly
Thats a fan that doesn't need to work hard at all on a low FPI consumer AIO rad
30% until like 85 degrees
What's different about the pro
my p12 pwm are quite resonant so I wonder if I should upgrade or buy noctua
also how tf does craigslist still exist
hes cute
it fills a niche
my mom hates cats
people do actually check craigslist for stuff believe it or not
it's so ugly
it'd be worse if it wasnt
I mean I do
craigslist with a modern reactjs ui? that would look horrible
give me hyperlinks or give me death
hyperlinks not a term thats used anymore?
text that you can click
????
yeah
fixes the hum issue iirc and also just a direct replacement
What is a hyperlink if not that
