[frank zealot]

get better hardware

[green marsh]

oh well, not great power consumption, but better than no router 😄

[pure garnet]

you’d be better off buying more ram

[lone scarab]

i have? i just wanna make use of my old laptop?

[frank zealot]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Holy shit I saw that

[slim solstice]

Bro do you have some company router for it to draw that much wattage

[frank zealot]

512MB RAM? Are you high?

[slim solstice]

Atlasos

[lone scarab]

windows doesnt need 512 mb to run dumbass

[green marsh]

my N100 mini PC died, so i thew a Z87/4670S/16GB RAM system in it's place

[frank zealot]

If you want to break your windows, do it

[lone scarab]

doesnt make much difference

[slim solstice]

It's very bad experience with 512 mb

[slim solstice]

That's sad

[lone scarab]

never been in such a bad situation

[slim solstice]

It works fine

[low sorrel]

man this mac dock copy is using alot of ram icl

[slim solstice]

Ms teams for dock

[daring bridge]

ye ok right but i think 1 GB ram for Windows should be enough

[slim solstice]

Yuh

[lone scarab]

no

if you wanna stare at home screen

[frank zealot]

just install a decent distro and give it a try.

If you hate it? Install a different one.

Welcome to linux. Do some fuckin' leg work for yourself.

[slim solstice]

If you want 512mb go to windows xp

[slim solstice]

Real

[lone scarab]

makes sense

[low sorrel]

dude just install mint or something it's not that deep

[frank zealot]

Win7 ran on 512 just fine

[slim solstice]

I use a raspberry pi for my mc server and it works without a hitch

[lone scarab]

🥀

[slim solstice]

That too only 4gb ver

[green marsh]

hopefully it is really just CMOS battery being required and original being dead, but have to wait for them to arrive. If not, well, i will have to figure out what to do. But i have an working solution for now at least

[low sorrel]

how many people are on your raspberry pi server?

[daring bridge]

Nah windows PE

[slim solstice]

A working expensive solution 😭

[slim solstice]

Im trying to get the count to 15 but there's been 5 people max

[daring bridge]

i gtg eating now

[slim solstice]

5 at a time

[lone scarab]

ram?

[low sorrel]

why does reddit hide the upvotes and downvotes now

[slim solstice]

It's copying yt

[slim solstice]

Wat do you mean by ram?

[gentle urchin]

Windows NT 4.0 > 2000 > XP >the rest

[lone scarab]

how much ram does your raspberry pi have?

[slim solstice]

4

[lone scarab]

a lot

[slim solstice]

Not a lot for a server

[lone scarab]

not much when you have a whole ass os

[lone scarab]

you aint hosting a server for a lot of people

[slim solstice]

I use the gui version cuz the playit tunnel im using is very picky for autostart

[lone scarab]

mhm

[slim solstice]

Im hosting for up to 20 people

[lone scarab]

?

bet that shit cant handle that

[green marsh]

39W isn't that horrible tho. 24/365 usage would mean 54.7 euros cost for a whole year

[slim solstice]

Airtel blocks port forwarding

[lone scarab]

or you'r getting aternos performance

[lone scarab]

huh

what country are you in

[slim solstice]

I use mcsm so it's like aternos but you can't assign permission that is highly customised for people

[slim solstice]

India

[lone scarab]

makes sense

[lone scarab]

i said performance

does chunks load fast or

[slim solstice]

It loads well when ur not in creative mode

[lone scarab]

ok

hmmcrazy

can you host a mc server on a calculator

[gentle urchin]

RLcraft > Minecraft

[slim solstice]

Sure

Im using papermc

[gentle urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/rlcraft-minecraft-heart-gif-8672540794073321046

[lone scarab]

disagreed

[slim solstice]

So chaotic

[devout ridge]

RLCraft isn’t even meant to be actually played

[lone scarab]

tried many modpacks

[devout ridge]

it’s supposed to be a stupid modpack for youtube videos

[lone scarab]

nothing feels like vanilla minecraft

[south shuttle]

ngl the new items make vanilla mc feel like modded

[lone scarab]

people say mojang takes too long to release an update and there are modders that made so many mods

but does any of these pack feel like minecraft

to me no

[lone scarab]

🤔 hmm i see

like which one?

honestly i didnt like the sniffer

warden is eh

[devout ridge]

warden too strong of a boss, doesn’t make sense for the average player

[lone scarab]

frogs are good

[slim solstice]

Papermc is vanilla mc but with plugins so you can use stuff like voicechar

[lone scarab]

is it even a boss? no special drops

it summons so easily

[lone scarab]

papermc is supposed to be used for servers

it is for servers

[devout ridge]

papermc is a server hosting software

[south shuttle]

mace

[lone scarab]

there are many

[lone scarab]

that should be removed

[edgy laurel]

@steel stream watching cross, frostbolt and benny play arc raiders. forgot how insane the audio is

[lone scarab]

yes i agree it should not be in game

[fringe vigil]

You wanna jump on?

[lone scarab]

its too op

[edgy laurel]

not for a while. i'm "working" then dinner plans

[fringe vigil]

Okay

Dinner with a shawty?

[merry stirrup]

its a minecraft jar

paper in itself doesnt help you host servers

its just a better minecraft jar

lower ram usage plugin support allat

[lone scarab]

it helps connect multiple servers

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[shell void]

an unc that i know is selling his delidded 14900k and iceman direct die block

[pure garnet]

you need that an apex

[shell void]

i already have a 14900k >:(

i do need a cheap apex tho

[low sorrel]

This new broadcast agreement will see Apple TV host all Free Practice, Qualifying, Sprint sessions, and Grands Prix. Select races and all Free Practice sessions throughout the season will also be available to watch for free in the Apple TV app.

Does this mean you can watch some f1 races for free???

[topaz veldt]

@keen wigeon you around?

[low sorrel]

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/10/apple-and-nbcuniversal-introduce-the-apple-tv-and-peacock-bundle/

damn apple really wants to do bundles huh

[teal orbit]

Erm acktually papermc is an organization and Paper is a server hosting software

🤓

[teal orbit]

no that's velocity and/or bungeecord

[topaz veldt]

Oh shit I think I figured this out

[keen wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/you-called-terrence-meyers-murdoch-mysteries-what-do-you-want-what-is-it-gif-25026601

[lone scarab]

?

[teal orbit]

connecting multiple Minecraft servers together?

[lone scarab]

yeah

like hypixel

[merry stirrup]

chat remember these

[teal orbit]

yeah

[lone scarab]

not sure but isnt it papermc?

or something alternative like spigot

[teal orbit]

Paper is the Minecraft server software, hard fork of Spigot. but the reverse proxy load balancer that connects multiple Paper servers together into a network is velocity or bungeecord

[lone scarab]

interesting

[steel stream]

I can't play it at all this weekend :( But I was tuned into the same stream lol

[topaz veldt]

Any lightroom users here?

[clear pasture]

why does my laptop smell like nail polish when i boot it up after i come back from school but when i boot it up in the morning its no smell?

[low sorrel]

Because a person with nail polish was probably was near your laptop?

[clear pasture]

nuh uh

[low sorrel]

Also nail polish has a scent?

[clear pasture]

yeah

[pallid marsh]

Are you nose blind?

[low sorrel]

Yeah

I have a terrible sense of smell

[clear pasture]

that checks out

[pallid marsh]

We need to get you a nose job maybe it's not opened up enough

[low sorrel]

Idk I've never had both nostrils clear

I rarely even have 1

[pallid marsh]

Ask your free doctors if your nose is up-to-date

[low sorrel]

Idk they keep giving me drugs that work for 15 minutes

[shell void]

@merry stirrup you wish that you had even a sliver of the steez that this guy has

[fringe vigil]

your bday is march 8th omg

no way

[topaz veldt]

@shell void @steel stream @slim pebble I took a second before it gets like dusty and shit

[merry stirrup]

i think i also got to 3ghz

[shell void]

your best white build yet

[topaz veldt]

i think so

[shell void]

how do the temps look on that in cinebench?

[topaz veldt]

good quesh

[edgy laurel]

proving flexible tubing still works

[shell void]

i think soft looks better than hard almost all of the time

[edgy laurel]

agreed

[obsidian tartan]

wtf is this line

[pure garnet]

the scroll bar?

[obsidian tartan]

whatever passes throught it just splits

[obsidian tartan]

no

[topaz veldt]

not going to lie - getting decent soft line runs was HARDER than hardline

[obsidian tartan]

oh wait

it only shows from my monitor

[edgy laurel]

what line

[obsidian tartan]

rip then

my monitor is broken

[edgy laurel]

then your display is busted. verify

[merry stirrup]

one more showing

[edgy laurel]

does't @turbid locust have that too

[merry stirrup]

no cause his is now mine

[edgy laurel]

oh

[merry stirrup]

but i had a coworker make a case for it

[edgy laurel]

noice

[merry stirrup]

original:

[edgy laurel]

woulda been cool if it was in an angled case with a weighted bottom

[merry stirrup]

future revisions definitely possible

he was super excited to do anything for me lol

[shell void]

Ab

[obsidian tartan]

tf is this

[edgy laurel]

your display. as I said, verify

[obsidian tartan]

that doesnt always happens tho

first time

[edgy laurel]

ok

[merry stirrup]

means waiting for user input

[obsidian tartan]

turning it off and back on fixed it

👍

[merry stirrup]

sync issue or sumn

my secondary does that all the time

[topaz veldt]

We have to go-fund-me you a new hoodie

[obsidian tartan]

g sync is off tho

[merry stirrup]

i just love this hoodie, it’s from a tour

[pure garnet]

on our board it means not gonna post

[merry stirrup]

oh, L

[pure garnet]

15 -> c5 -> aB sits eternal

[fringe vigil]

jump on

[merry stirrup]

i mbot sure what codes are no post

q code was with coworker while he was making case yesterday

[turbid locust]

I have literally seen zero advertising for this game. I have only ever heard random people talking about it.

[pure garnet]

i need us mpower

[merry stirrup]

i’d buy it

[pure garnet]

oh it’s going in my daily for sure

[merry stirrup]

gross

i dislike amd

[pure garnet]

i wanna try and get 8400 on my 9800x3d

[merry stirrup]

that’s valid

[turbid locust]

Mine will live on the bench for awhile until I’m ready to swap back to AM5 for daily

[pure garnet]

the tommy doesn’t do any remarkable that the mpower won’t

especially now that i don’t have my x550 installed

[merry stirrup]

fair enough

mpower being matx makes me happy over my itx edge

[fringe vigil]

we did when it was first beta

[merry stirrup]

i have expansion slots wow

however. tell me how the edge has more nvme

tiny thing has 3 slots and the mpower only gets 2

[pure garnet]

b850 mpower has 4

[merry stirrup]

yeah cause they put one in the awkward space by the dimms

and the 3rd one already fit idk why it’s not there

silly board

[pure garnet]

and one on the back

interesting

[merry stirrup]

strange

[topaz veldt]

What in the royal ass is this

[shell void]

hes showing you up

[merry stirrup]

pov snail is bored so he makes fun of me for not spending an irrational amount of money on several motherboards

i mean what?

[topaz veldt]

Fun fact - at one point my parents lived like 3 miles from me and I ran long-range Bridgewave devices

[topaz veldt]

Just trying to understand wtf

[merry stirrup]

i’m positive you can read

[topaz veldt]

I cannot

[green marsh]

old board have weird design decisions sometimes

[sudden thunder]

Any suggestions? I am torn between FSP CMT218, Lancool 207, Lancool 216, Lancool 3, H5 and H7 Flow RGB 2024. Or maybe Gaming GT302?

[green marsh]

case choice is always very personal

[sudden thunder]

Taste/looks?

How about objectivity or it is up to price as well

[green marsh]

it's subjective

for example i hate the fishtank cases, yet 90% of people buy only those in current era 😄

[sudden thunder]

Well I am not buying one as I have an air cooler (correct me if I am wrong)

[rich idol]

Anyone here ever used the R9 9950X3D?

[sudden thunder]

Afaik they are better for water cooling

[green marsh]

no.

[sudden thunder]

At least O11D?

[green marsh]

fishtank are not superior or better than other cases in anything else but being able to "see more of it". If anything, fishtank cases usually have worse airflow

[sudden thunder]

Honestly I can either get one of these I said or wait for my brother to give me his CMT192

[shell void]

camm moment

[green marsh]

again, pick the one you like the most, we can't really decide for you which one you like the most subjectively 🙂

[sudden thunder]

H5 Flow looks better but Lancool 216 is objectively better 😶

[brave panther]

love it

[edgy laurel]

I love everything about it, but my slow unc status means i just get farmed in pvp

[hot fox]

i have a pretty reasonable budget
looking for a competitive gaming monitor
im looking for 240hz as thats what i can comfortably run
oled preferred

[fringe vigil]

ok buddy

[low sorrel]

btw gulity sprint quali was pretty good

[edgy laurel]

@shell void is XG27AQWMG just not available anywhere

or PG27AQWP-W, for that matter

[fringe vigil]

anyone?

[edgy laurel]

Actually does XG27AQWMG even exist

[edgy laurel]

load in with randoms

[jagged finch]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U8pWQL2qe26jO9tdJ68JL4piCXPQoiOvfhui0_-D7fk/

64bit internet to test

[shell void]

yes but it’s not available yet

that and the PG27AQWP are expected to be out at the end of the year

@steel stream @hoary hatch

[edgy laurel]

this stuff needs to have videos come out showing it off a month before release.. not a year before

just watched a short circuit on one of those two that came out 10 months ago

[shell void]

you must be talking about the top one

XG27AQDMG is old, XG27AQWMG is the one coming out in December

unfortunately the names are very similar

to make matters worse there’s also a XG27AQDMGR coming out soon lol

[edgy laurel]

dude, these names..

[wise bear]

Either I got really lucky, or my phone display is very calibrated when i was looking at the listing for the helmet

[edgy laurel]

why do monitor names always fucking suck

[topaz veldt]

Get your snail on

[edgy laurel]

master chief themed, nice

[shell void]

it would probably be better if aibs didn’t make 5 million versions of similar monitors

[wise bear]

omg i didnt even figure

[wise bear]

Wasn't what I was going for but now I kinda wanna go all-in

[shell void]

are the temps on the cpu and gpu looking good?

[edgy laurel]

it needs it

[wise bear]

its a good green, though!

I could do like, hard side cases

[edgy laurel]

ya that green is good

[wise bear]

and idk mount a paintball gun in the basket

warthog vibes

[edgy laurel]

117 decals

[wise bear]

or UNSC decals

maybe some alien blood splatter on the front

[topaz veldt]

fantabulous

[edgy laurel]

haha

[wise bear]

YES YES YES YES

[edgy laurel]

https://youtu.be/H11ENU0RQMY

[wise bear]

my bike is a little more gayer than a 117-themed harley

but I feel like we can make it work

[edgy laurel]

kinda sick actually. totally would ride

[wise bear]

samesies

I love my front fork bag too, because it doubles as a blunt self-defense weapon if needed

(its full of tools)

[edgy laurel]

i bet having heavy things in that location affect the steering feel

[wise bear]

Honestly no!

The whole bag weighs maybe 8lbs total

I also have it pretty snug against the fork itself so when you're doing hard turns or just swinging the handlebars around while stationary, you barely notice it's there

[topaz veldt]

could do without the army tank but the satin finish on heads and air intake i snice

[edgy laurel]

UNSC tho!

[wise bear]

blue headers are certainly a choice

[edgy laurel]

the what

[edgy laurel]

valve cover 😆

or rocker cover, i guess

while it looks cool I don't know what thats actuall referencing in the theme

[wise bear]

I don't know I'm not a mechanic :(

so wait then wtf is a header

I KNOW its a thing

[edgy laurel]

exhaust header

[pure garnet]

the first part of the exhaust

[wise bear]

Ohhhhhhh

[wise bear]

I'm mega dummy

[edgy laurel]

now that valve/rocker cover is sitting on top of the "head"

[wise bear]

Gotcha, okay

I always thought it was called an exhaust manifold

the header, that is

[edgy laurel]

it is, or can be

tbh i'm not sure what the or even if there is a true difference but typically you'll hear about stock cars having exhaust manifolds. usually cast iron. More like a bunch of short runners into a collective "manifold". But on the right where you have longer individual runners from each cylinder they're typically called headers

i guess the difference is just in how they collect into one. all into a common tube vs. individual runners collecting at the same point

you don't typically find full long tube headers on a stock car

[fringe vigil]

just sniped the sht outta a mf in arc

[teal orbit]

I think its a colloquial term to say stock vs aftermarket but I don't really know

I feel like that's how I usually see

[edgy laurel]

yeah i'm sure thats part of it

[teal orbit]

Then again people call Subaru intake's "unequal length headers" so idk

and those are like the one on the left

[edgy laurel]

flat engine stuff is goofy looking

[topaz veldt]

exhaust lol, nothing to do with the head per se

[teal orbit]

Its not even because of that I'm pretty sure

I thought they just do it because it sounds interesting

[edgy laurel]

yeah stock subie stuff is very unequal

[topaz veldt]

unequal sounds best

but it results in an "up pipe"

[edgy laurel]

not for sound, but for convenience and simplicity. the sound is a byproduct

[teal orbit]

sacrifice a few percent of all 3 horsepower

[topaz veldt]

and sound

A subaru with equal length sounds broken

[edgy laurel]

ya

[teal orbit]

yeah but you can put an equal length header in there

[topaz veldt]

A subaru with unequal is broken

And thats what makes it special

[teal orbit]

isn't that backwards

[edgy laurel]

equal length is even weirder

[topaz veldt]

they sound like they're trying to not be borken

[teal orbit]

I'm just gonna call them all manifolds because they all fold the man

[topaz veldt]

up pipe = lag

[teal orbit]

stock unequal length intake on a Toyota V6 🔥

[topaz veldt]

V6 should be illegal imho

[teal orbit]

blasphemy

Why do you say that

[topaz veldt]

because I have taste?

[turbid locust]

V6’s can be cool

[teal orbit]

what is the taste about hating an engine configured as a v6

[hoary hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/intel-pat-gelsinger-papa-computer-chip-gif-4422124117738847315

[hoary hatch]

How do you feel about 4cyl

[teal orbit]

Maybe if you hate VQ only then I can understand

[shell void]

v6 are my least favorite as well

[topaz veldt]

I have one

[teal orbit]

you're not invited to my birthday party

[hoary hatch]

I've only ever daily'd a V6 in high school

[topaz veldt]

4 Cyl require a turbo

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

v6 require a trashcan

[teal orbit]

v6 require nothing

1996 Lexus ES 300 uhhh some amount of liters

the Lexus number is the displacement up until the hybrids ruined everything

[hoary hatch]

It had shit mpg

But iirc it did have a 5 or 6 CD changer in the trunk 😎

[shell void]

theyre just boring big bro

[wise bear]

no tork all brap

nothing has any torque if I install a 1:50 final drive

the power curve is fine on the F20C though

no I was asking if you wanted to play bf6 on it, with me

[topaz veldt]

not right now - gotta do family

[jagged finch]

Yeah kidneys are good tho

[wise bear]

ayyyy thats good

[teal orbit]

Is this for certain because it sounds like it's just a possible theory

[wise bear]

google type 3 diabetes and get educated like i did

ha, biology jokes

Actually it glows like that Homer super tomacco jalahandro cigar 🌶️

[teal orbit]

because it seemed like you were saying definitively

[wise bear]

bbao you should then be able to extrapolate that I was making a silly statement in reference to "unofficial" terminology

I'm autistic, why am I the one explaining language to a normie

Confirmed

[raw zinc]

Anyone know why my PC just randomly freezes at random intervals, some days it doesnt even freeze, no bluescreen or anything its a complete freeze and my screen stays how it is until i restart it? Anyone know why this is happening?

[edgy laurel]

No, no one could know why that happening.

Requires troubleshooting

[raw zinc]

I did recently install a new graphics card

it didnt happen before it just started happenign after cthe change

my other gpu got fried cause of just long term use

[hoary hatch]

Bruh

[topaz veldt]

Sup

[wise bear]

reinstall your gpu drivers?..

[rich idol]

The RAM i ordered doesn't appear in my motherboard's compatibility list, should i return it and buy something that appears on the compatibility list instead?

[edgy laurel]

if its suitable speed, no

[frank cypress]

QVL is kinda useless anyways

[teal orbit]

if you see other rams at similar speeds on the compatibility list, i'd say it's got a pretty good chance of working just as well

[frank cypress]

just means they got it to boot on the board iirc

doesn't tell you what settings they use

hell it doesn't even mean it's necessarily stable afaik

[rich idol]

it's 2x32GB DDR5 6000MHz

[wise bear]

I am now the owner of a flashlight that can melt black plastic within seconds

holy shit

[edgy laurel]

6000CL30? its fine

[rich idol]

CL28

[edgy laurel]

even better

[rich idol]

ah, sweet

man it's ridiculous how there's 256gb kits on the market now

i don't even use the full 128gb i have most of the time but having 256gb for the funny would be nice

[frank cypress]

its just 60 hours of school (min) + work is kinda rough

also that 60 hours is the low end, if you don't put in hours yourself well

it's hard to get a job afterwards 😔

so it's recommended you pour as much time as you can at my school basically

[pure garnet]

60h of school? damn

i do like 3h of schoolwork a day and then spend the other 8 trying to do schoolwork without adhd meds

[frank cypress]

it's because my industry is very focused on skill and ability

Could someone help me diagnose a flashing PSU ?

Was watching a TV show pc just turned off . Like a blue screen but black. Completely off and un responsive . Won't turn back on . Only sign of life is this light on the PSU and another on the ethernet jack

Tried pulling cables, doing a power cycle, haven't tired the hairdryer trick BC it's 3am

[potent bobcat]

Try going to sleep and getting back at it

You don’t wanna make the mistake of being tired when handling that stuff

(From experience)

[placid juniper]

Yeh a sign to get to bed

[gentle urchin]

Guys, guys, remember having to wait for this message before being allowed to turn off your computer? :

[wraith steeple]

Yep

AT PSU moment

Our 94 build had this message whenever we would shut down

[topaz veldt]

I think it was my 286 or 386 that had a literal metal rod from the button up front to the PSU in back to turn it off

[teal orbit]

POV you haven't invented ACPI yet

[raw zinc]

anyone know after i had a complete pc freeze and restarted my pc was slow as fuck

like incredibly slow

also why does my bios settings open everytime i shutdown and restart??

[arctic bronze]

Either ur drive died or bios is configured wrong on boot setup

[raw zinc]

how do i fix this

bios

like i cant even open apps

they close immediatrly

[frank zealot]

Clearly your pc is fucked up and you need to figure out how/ what

[raw zinc]

now its just automatically fixed itself

bro what the fuck 😭

[frank zealot]

My point stands

[raw zinc]

ok but can you help me figure out the issue

my pc is just fine now for some reason

[analog skiff]

you never know when it will fuck up again so FLASH YO FREAKIN BIOS

newest ver

[raw zinc]

do u think its bios

i couldnt even open apps bro

and it just randomly auto fixed

[analog skiff]

it could be the bios

bc its the root of the problems

mate ive suffered that and i had to flash my bios

btw whats yo mobo

[raw zinc]

ill do it im doing a memory test rn

[analog skiff]

okay

[raw zinc]

ROG maximus

[analog skiff]

be sure to check yo bios settings

[raw zinc]

i loaded optimized defaults

ill flash it and hopefully it works

[analog skiff]

okay

i mean it should

[raw zinc]

so u had this same issue

random full freezes at random time

[analog skiff]

yep

[raw zinc]

ight

[analog skiff]

when did you reinstall windows last time

[raw zinc]

a hot minute ago

few months

i recently installed a new gpu cause my 2070 finally came to its end of its lifespan

now i have a 5060

[analog skiff]

bc ur supposed to do that every 5 to 6 months

[analog skiff]

sweet shit

im stuck on a iris xe

[raw zinc]

i see i got lucky tho price was alright

[analog skiff]

btw i get 300 fps on 24 chunks on that igpu

that thing is beffy

beefy*

[raw zinc]

thats good

its just my pc is getting these waves of problems

never had any issues until now but i guess its just how it is

[analog skiff]

heres the gpu info

[analog skiff]

yeah

i5 1335U how the fck is this shit holdin up

[raw zinc]

my 2070 held up a fight ngl

finally gave up tho

[analog skiff]

yeah

that shit was the diamond of gpu's

[low sorrel]

windows wheres my gpu

[clear pasture]

uhh basic display adapter moment??

[analog skiff]

nah cpu cores bein used as gpu cores ahh moment

[teal orbit]

I don't think it works like that

[fervent elm]

Broski has software rendering on

[green marsh]

i guess if the Minisforum mini PC won't be able to be fixed, i got a replacement from Acer for 167 euros without RAM. 2x2.5Gbe NIC too, so ideal for my router use case

(and a minor upgrade, this being N150)

bro I want to play

will it run on my 11900h + 3050 ti mobile hmm

[edgy laurel]

only one way to find out!

[wise bear]

jfc what game is that

[edgy laurel]

Arc Raiders. PvPvE extraction shooter

free weekend right now

[steel stream]

🫡

[edgy laurel]

its from a visual design, audio and atmosphere perspective

and for UE5, pretty damn polished

at least it was in the last tech test I played

[steel stream]

yeah it ran pretty well on my 4070 back in May

[brave panther]

I will try it this evening

[edgy laurel]

i love everything about it other than being ass at pvp

[wise bear]

MORE GAMES TO THE LIBRARYYY

(after it launches)

[steel stream]

october 30th

[wise bear]

I'll give it a bit after launch to see how it performs/plays

[steel stream]

I was getting like 4K60 with DLSS balanced and high settings on my 4070

[wise bear]

daaamb

[edgy laurel]

its like tarkov in that you have a "workshop" you upgrade and vendors to level. quests to go in and get things, etc..

[steel stream]

5070 Ti will probs have no issues

[wise bear]

dude i love my card

it does everything

[steel stream]

I tried to play a little yesterday, but after realizing I would need to play through the tutorial again I left for home

I think DLSS quality, 4K cranked settings 2XFG I was getting 180+ FPS?

in tutorial

[wise bear]

The bonus of running 50" less than 2' from your face with frame gen and dlss is that all the artifacting is in my periphery near the edges of the screen, I hardly notice it

[edgy laurel]

581.57 has an arc raiders profile

[turbid locust]

[edgy laurel]

yeah there is a small "battle pass" thats free for this test weekend

[wise bear]

i love the retro vibe

[steel stream]

jorj we gonna play together when it launches?

[fringe vigil]

this game gonna look pretty asf on oled

[edgy laurel]

it does

[fringe vigil]

woo

[edgy laurel]

the games audio though, its almost the most impressive part

[fringe vigil]

hmmm yh

[edgy laurel]

even the proximity chat

[steel stream]

laptop speakers go!

the machine sounds scasre me

omg they're coming earlyyyyy

[edgy laurel]

i've not seen any details (haven't looked) but i keep hearing that Embark allowed the machines to "train" their behavior with AI on their own.

so effectively they learned how to do what they do on their own

[wise bear]

thats dope af

[steel stream]

sweet

[wise bear]

actual pve ai

[steel stream]

I wonder if they used play test data for that

[edgy laurel]

https://medium.com/embarkstudios/transforming-animation-with-machine-learning-27ac694590c

[crude ruin]

Prty good deal I think...

[edgy laurel]

maybe it was just movement animations

[wise bear]

That's still so fucking cool

I wonder when we'll start doing that with humanoid characters, or having ai place object-accurate navmeshing or collision meshing

no more feet clipping into stairs gdi

[edgy laurel]

And seeing a self-taught, physics-based creature move and react to its surroundings, attempt to balance itself, and try to continue to move even when you throw stuff at it or take away a limb — just like you would expect it to — is really something. It gives rise to emergent gameplay — moments in games that even we as creators of the game could never have anticipated.

Ya thats neat. More of that kinda thinking in games are where AI could be sick.

[wise bear]

I'm so stoked for the future of game design

[crude ruin]

Also this

[crude ruin]

Thing is I actually use it

[wise bear]

shit's nutty w/ what creators do with it

[edgy laurel]

i'm sorry

[south shuttle]

UE5 gives you all the features, it’s the dev/publisher/etc. fault for not disabling/optimizing a ton of the features

[crude ruin]

I am trying to upgrade my Athlon II X4 640 PC from... An Athlon with 4 GB DDR3 to a better thing, and seeing as <40€ is cheap, I decided for that

[wise bear]

I j-

Why

just upgrade the whole-ass platform

[south shuttle]

also AAA devs are nowadays using less and i less clever visual tricks in games to hide imperfections

[fervent elm]

Idve saved up the like 150$ itd take to go am4

[wise bear]

yeah go shovel snow/rake leaves or something

make some cash, move to something meaningfully upgradeable

[edgy laurel]

something that actually feels like an upgrade

because that won't

[wise bear]

instead of a sidegrade

[fervent elm]

A 3600, b4/550, and 16gb of ram could be had for thus

[wise bear]

i would've gone 5000 series

[fervent elm]

Would a 50$ 5000 series be better?
Itd be sms like a 5500

[wise bear]

yes

[fervent elm]

For 30 more?
3600s are about 55$
Used

5500s are about 80
Hm
But in any case, at some point its better to save up and start over

i don’t need a better gpu than the 3090 so why would i upgrade

other than efficiency

[wise bear]

skull deformities like that actually happen! Usually it's a left/right deviation called a hemispherectomy- usually its done because of birth defects, or cancer

[vocal plume]

the only reason I'd even consider upgrading is if I wanted to get into running larger local llms

[south shuttle]

i will not pay $80 for an AAA that runs like shite on high end hardware from 2020

[potent bobcat]

Just got the R7 7700X and 32 GB of RAM! So excited to build my PC

The employee was saying that the R5 7600X3D would’ve been better for gaming

[pure garnet]

the employee isn’t wrong but it doesn’t matter

[potent bobcat]

R7 7700X still solos in general right

It was between the R5 7600X3D with an m-ATX and the R7 7700X with an ATX

That’s why I chose the latter

[brisk jolt]

X3D smokes in gaming, 7700 wins in heavy CPU workloads

[pure garnet]

realistically outside of edge cases it’ll be unlikely to be perceived

[shell void]

i also would take the 8 cores and full size board in that situation, but id probably go intel instead if i care about non-gaming performance value

[pure garnet]

all the big cpu comparisons are at 1080p with a 5090

so if you’re at a higher res and not buying a 5090 the gaps close

[potent bobcat]

I’ll be gaming at 1440p240 and recording and editing those footages (footages will be 60 fps)

So less CPU load

[pure garnet]

i don’t think you’ll notice much

[potent bobcat]

Mhm

[pure garnet]

x3d brainrot is real

[potent bobcat]

I assume the 7700X is way better for DaVinci Resolve Fusion stuff

[steel stream]

yeah

[potent bobcat]

Like video editing nodes

[steel stream]

8 cores vs 6 will be nicer

[potent bobcat]

I’m currently stuck with a 1080p60 monitor and office peripherals

I wouldn't say way better, but it's better

just wear gloves or smth bruh

[potent bobcat]

Don’t think that’s necessary

[brisk jolt]

it isnt

but it gives a protection against sharp parts and it isnt gonna get ur fingerprints on reflective stuff

[potent bobcat]

True

he got an eagle, what reflective stuff

[south shuttle]

reference 6000 > reference 7000

in looks

[potent bobcat]

I didn’t have enough anti-static wrap

just saying

[pure garnet]

those x1 slots have aura bro

[potent bobcat]

So I had to cut it up

[potent bobcat]

Wait wym what does eagle mean

[pure garnet]

it’s the name of your board

[brisk jolt]

honestly what even uses x1 nowadays

[potent bobcat]

Yeah but what’s bad about it

[pure garnet]

it’s fine, just not a crazy board to have the reflective stuff

[brisk jolt]

its just a very basic barebones board

it gets the job done

[potent bobcat]

Oh so just a matte surface that’s it

[crude ruin]

Mmmmmmm, too expensive, I'm broke

And it runs Mint well enough

Then I have my i5-8265U laptop, so I already have something that is better.

Just why not? It was 40€, it's nothing.

[low sorrel]

@edgy laurel WATCH THE SPRINT ABSOLUTE CINEMA

[crude ruin]

Besides, the Phenom II X4 945 usually goes for way higher than 15€, so that was a God damn steal

[crude ruin]

Oh, and I have started saving for that. I have that motherboard... I am a bit broke now, and I don't suppose you get CPU + PSU + RAM + storage that isn't HDD for 40€

[brisk jolt]

ewaste is not meaningfully upgradeable

[crude ruin]

This is what I have now, I don't know why ASUS needs to bundle a fucking m.2 expansion card

And again, what AM4 CPU do you get for <100€? For it to be meaningful.

Oh, and a PSU is normally around 50€, a good enough drive is more than 100€, a cooler is often more than 50€ if you don't want absolute dog shit.

[south shuttle]

5600/x, 5700x, 5700x3d, 5800x3d used

[brisk jolt]

tell me what cpu did u even get in the first place

[south shuttle]

used 5x00x3d under 100 may be hard to get tho

[crude ruin]

Yes.

[crude ruin]

For what?

[brisk jolt]

am4?

[crude ruin]

Oh, I have... The Pentium 100 MHz, the Pentium 4 Willamette, the Athlon II X4 640,the i5-8265U, and no AM4 CPU.

And I will go for the 7 5700G

Eventually

[brisk jolt]

oh so you just put on an absolute clownshow

[crude ruin]

Idk

[crude ruin]

When 🤨

[devout ridge]

this list of cpus is a clown show

they belong either in the trash, or maybe on display for nostalgia purposes

[brisk jolt]

like, in the past 12 minutes

[crude ruin]

Maybe

[wicked urchin]

the pentiums absolutely do not belong in the trash. thats retro by now

[pure garnet]

you’d need the homie discount for that

[brisk jolt]

AM4 does not have any meaningful upgrade unless you’re already on AM4 (motherboard and CPU already in hand)

[devout ridge]

it being retro doesn’t make it worth anything

[pure garnet]

the 5800x3d is like $300 used which is insane

[crude ruin]

I am proud that the PCs use original parts, exclusively.

[south shuttle]

just beg the npc until he gives it to you for 100

[edgy laurel]

original to what

[devout ridge]

what does “original parts” even mean in this context

[wicked urchin]

what i mean its useful for retro gaming. like there is genuinely still a purpose for those. doesnt mean they are valuable, but they dont belong in the trash either

[brisk jolt]

absolute cinema ❌
absolute clownshow ✅

[crude ruin]

The parts that the PCs shipped with, and they are fully operational

[edgy laurel]

out of production long ago, can't be bought new for sane pricing. Only exists used

[pure garnet]

i traded my 5800x3d for a 2070 super to transcode with

[devout ridge]

they aren’t, you can get all the performance out of modern platforms for emulation

[south shuttle]

fair value

[edgy laurel]

old doesn't automatically mean good, and just slapping the "retro" tag on it doesn't change anything.

[brisk jolt]

honestly unless you’re on a respectable usable functional CPU like a 7500f and above you should not be meddling at all with ewaste

[crude ruin]

Mate, back in the day they were expensive PCs, they are part of history. I am proud that they are fully operational. I use my Windows 95 machine almost daily.

[brisk jolt]

Its like someone down in the dumps looking for an even worse job instead of striving to get a betterone

[granite dirge]

its so annoying when websites have a limit of how many you can order of an item per order so you have to go an manually place more than one order.

[edgy laurel]

the only situation in which all that crap makes sense to play with is if you also have a machine from this decade capable of actually functioning with modern applications and you just tinker with the other stuff on the side.

[wise bear]

this is like hipster mentality

[crude ruin]

My Athlon II X4 640 PC does in fact run modern software, the only limiting factor is the HDD

[wise bear]

this is like taking an ibm x2 into starbucks

[wicked urchin]

just because you can play it with emulation doesnt mean its necessarily the best experience. its a "good enough" experience for most people, but if you want to experience the games as they were made, it often isnt good enough. so saying they arent good for anything isnt true. there is a reason why so many older consoles get hardware reimplementations via fpgas and its not just a "because we can"

[brisk jolt]

he is being nostalgia baited by absolutely nothing

[edgy laurel]

yeah and no one thinkgs thats cool or retro, you're just insane 😆

[wise bear]

or the people that take typewriters to coffee shops

like we get it, you didn't get enough attention from your parents

[wicked urchin]

yeah thats just cringe

[wise bear]

Give it to a museum for christ sake

[crude ruin]

Pentium 100 MHz, 16 MB RAM, 1.2 GB HDD

I love that machine

[brisk jolt]

similar energy ngl

[wise bear]

vaux, that you?

[wicked urchin]

absolutely. nobody should main such an ancient machine

[crude ruin]

I don't use any of my old machines as often as my laptop, that is still absolute shit.

[pure garnet]

it’s like the people on steam forms that whine about avx support being required

[crude ruin]

At least I run cities 2 on it...

[wise bear]

the fuck you can

oh your laptop

[crude ruin]

Yeah ;-;

Yet it's shit, 8th gen i5, UHD 620

[wise bear]

I misread & thought you ran cities 2 on the pentium

and i was like, LMAO HELL NO

[crude ruin]

Hell no, that's impossible

[wise bear]

my b, my b

still

bitch you's wild for dailying 100mhz

[crude ruin]

Though my Athlon PC runs most modern software, though I use Linux Mint on it since Windows 10 ran slow sf on that HDD

[brisk jolt]

my grandma runs faster than that

[crude ruin]

Yeah, I do... Kinda

[wise bear]

My grandma's ashes float faster than that tbh

[wicked urchin]

im quite sure a typical motherboard for a pentium 100mhz would not even support a large enough HDD to let you install cities skylines 2

[crude ruin]

Nope...

[brisk jolt]

my great grandma travelling at 0cm/s is faster than that

[crude ruin]

That's why optical drives exist

[wise bear]

optipoop

I shouldn't have eaten an edible at 10 in the morning oh no

[crude ruin]

This is pretty good performance coming from integrated graphics...

[wicked urchin]

the first time i built a pc without an optical drive was in 2010. as a backup i bought a usb dvd drive. ive never used it and havent seen it in 12 years

[crude ruin]

Solid 12 FPS while rendering hundreds of thousands of pieces of redstone dust

[crude ruin]

I used my USB optical drive... Not that long ago, I have 1100+ CDs and DVDs at home

[wise bear]

my server has a lil optical drive, I wanna set up a little automated baby vm that just rips whatever I put in the tray, transcodes it, and dumps it in the media pool

[crude ruin]

I can't afford a server...

[wise bear]

mine was freeeee

[crude ruin]

Lucky

[wise bear]

t'was left behind of my sister's ex and I was like, "mine now"

[crude ruin]

Maybe I can see if IKEA has some old server hardware that they will discard...

[wise bear]

(he was a massive tool)

[crude ruin]

Ooo

[crude ruin]

Since I live near one of IKEA's main hubs

[wicked urchin]

are they still working? because afaik many cds and dvds are approaching or exceeding their targeted life time. ive archived any optical media i had on my NAS and havent touched my collection in forever. pretty sure a lot of those would struggle to read by now

[crude ruin]

Yup, still on windows 11

[wicked urchin]

no i mean the discs

they dont last forever

[wise bear]

Ooh I should go to the thrift store and buy a bunch of old movies to hoard..

[crude ruin]

Ah, yeah, still working, have some from the 90s, those CD-R drives are durable

CD-RW are shit tho

[wicked urchin]

i doubt any CD-RW written during a time where it was still reasonable to use them, still work today

their lifetime is far far below a CD-R

[crude ruin]

Yeah

But all the CD-R discs we have at home are usable, only have minor scratches that can be corrected

[wicked urchin]

thats quite cool. dont really want to go back to using them, but still cool

[crude ruin]

Have some CD-Rs from the 80s

[wicked urchin]

its impressive no doubt

[brisk jolt]

[crude ruin]

Shut it. Any computer struggles loading hundreds of thousands of redstone components.

[brisk jolt]

yeah but ur trynna climb a slight hill in a 3 horsepower vehicle in that context

[crude ruin]

My laptop works with Cities 2 tho... Albeit the settings... Disgusting.

[brisk jolt]

[crude ruin]

Try to climb a 100% hill with any commercially viable car, good luck

45°

[brisk jolt]

so, a 90 degree hill

thats a wall

[crude ruin]

Wrong, a 100% is 45°

[brisk jolt]

yeah im not getting ur yap

[wicked urchin]

if thats the 45° hill youre willing to die on

[crude ruin]

% slope is metres elevation per 100 metres horizontal distance

[brisk jolt]

So, what you’re saying is that you’ve never been to any somewhat rural area with bigass slopes

[hoary hatch]

Naw

[crude ruin]

Bro, I live in a rural area with bug ass slopes. But any way slopes rarely exceed 20% on roads, rarely even 10%

[brisk jolt]

“any commercial car” gang i remember in malaysia there this one steep ass fuck slope I was doubting whether the fucking camry could climb it

Went up, full ass carpark.

[wicked urchin]

shouldve used the king of the road then: myvi

[brisk jolt]

yeah there were myvis there

[crude ruin]

How steep?

[wicked urchin]

theres always a myvi there, even if you think that it requires a hilux, is a pristine place noone has ever been and requires a lot of skill to even make it to that place. then theres still somehow a myvi parked already

[brisk jolt]

nothing I would see in singapore

also tf you want me to answer that question

That was like- fugging 10+ years ago

[wicked urchin]

about this steep: 🫲 🫱

[crude ruin]

Anyway at 45° any car loses traction.

[brisk jolt]

oh yeah its definitely in the 40 degree region
