[raw zinc]

do u have any ideas

[noble heath]

How does the cmos look like

[raw zinc]

im pretty sure most pc boxes have a reset cmos button

i have one anyways

[brisk jolt]

……

[devout ridge]

most motherboards released in the last few years on modern platforms*

[merry stirrup]

button? no, a header? yes

[brisk jolt]

we have some strays in here that belong in TC1

[merry stirrup]

or sometimes for some reason one or the other

no cmos clear header on my edge but there was a button

[devout ridge]

quick, say big words

[merry stirrup]

what is your tREFI?

[pure garnet]

5

guys i set all my timings to 1 why isn’t my pc posting

[merry stirrup]

5 clock cycles till you refresh i like your style

[green marsh]

no. as i said, it seems your storage doesn't work. Recheck cables is all i can say, if it is not an M.2 drive.

[merry stirrup]

99.9% of my time is spent refreshin 🔥

[sharp yoke]

Was looking to get speakers for a new TV and searched on FB marketplace, but I'm not entirely sure which is good and what isint. Are any of these good? (The sony one doesnt come with the power cord though)

[edgy laurel]

Lot to unpack here

[raw zinc]

so re check my external hard drive cables

[edgy laurel]

Those Onkyo's, what models? Assuming they're passive, you'll need a reciever to make use of them. Same goes for the Sony set though those look like some tiny cheapies and may be powered by the Sub. Again, no models so just guessing. The LG soundbar while not a high end model at least is a known entity

[steel stream]

@shell void

[sharp yoke]

Would it be enough for a like a big living room? I'm helping with looking around and setting it up for my parents

(The LG one)

[edgy laurel]

https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/reviews/lg/s80tr

if its just for your parents, i'm sure its sufficient and would be much less of a headache than dealing with those unknown bunches of speakers and having to buy a receiver. Surrounds and sub are both wireless too

[shell void]

ordered?

[steel stream]

yes sir

[green marsh]

again, you have an issue with your boot drive. Not external drives, not random stuff. Boot drive. Your drive has either no power or no data connection. Can't help you more than that

[steel stream]

S90D will be returned

imma try and sell the speaker and soundbar

[edgy laurel]

[surreal night]

Just got a £5,000 PC off FB Marketplace

Can’t wait for it ✌️

[sharp yoke]

When the sound system is set up, would it just use that and disable the built in speakers or would it work together?

[steel stream]

I was driving and saw the Slickdeals alert, pulled into a costco parking lot and ordered it right away

[edgy laurel]

I thought you said you got it, what are you waiting for

[steel stream]

it would disable the built in speakers

[surreal night]

I bought it it’s being delivered rn

Anyway wanna know the specs it’s a beast

[merry stirrup]

so this guy was just in tc1

[edgy laurel]

yeah it looks like low effort bait

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

ain't nobody impressed

[edgy laurel]

dedicated if you're checking slickdeals alerts while driving lol

I feel like you've single handidly bought more OLED's than anyone here

[steel stream]

get them sent to my watch and noticed it, I was not on my phone while driving i swear

[steel stream]

This will make 4 I think

wait 3

[edgy laurel]

maybe only Bubzyz

this would be 4, no?

[steel stream]

yeah

forgot the first s90d was from woot the second from costco

[edgy laurel]

monitor, C4, S90d, G5

[steel stream]

yeah true

I can't count damn

[pure garnet]

[topaz veldt]

[edgy laurel]

#tech-chat-2 message

[topaz veldt]

Oh

terrible monitor, not concerned

[edgy laurel]

lol i don't think its for a monitor

[merry stirrup]

is this whole tv gaming thing like on a c4 really it

[steel stream]

yes floppa upgrade

give in

[edgy laurel]

buy my 12k hour C2

[topaz veldt]

My G4 is already too bright, I don't need brighter

[steel stream]

movie nights about to go crazy

[merry stirrup]

i just fawkin bought this one but its lack of specific settings makes me sad so maybe ill just sell it for 350$ and buy something else

[topaz veldt]

Unless G5 upgrades to a real refresh rate I am not interested

[steel stream]

only 165

[merry stirrup]

and thats the other part

[topaz veldt]

Yeah wake me up when its 240

[merry stirrup]

i get a HUGE downgrade in refresh

[edgy laurel]

If Mac was here he'd tell you it wasn't a problem

[steel stream]

yeah this G5 is mostly for content consumption

[topaz veldt]

"That sounds like copium"

[steel stream]

I agree too tbh, but I am not as a comp gamer as Mac or Floppa

[pure garnet]

65 inch on a desk sounds miserable

[topaz veldt]

lol yeah

[pure garnet]

that’s a comfy tv size though

[edgy laurel]

everyone thinks you're putting it on your desk

[merry stirrup]

idk we'll see, its not like i think 120fps is bad but it is a noticable difference

[pure garnet]

no that’s how i know he isn’t

[merry stirrup]

from say 240 or 360

[topaz veldt]

the LG G5s have gotten cheap

[edgy laurel]

you gotta want the large format 4K experience

[merry stirrup]

very much from 360

[pure garnet]

unless akn had the table from the godfather longways for a desk

[merry stirrup]

i have it in my bedroom behind my desk

[shell void]

sweet you now have a better display than anyone else in tech chat 2

[pure garnet]

nah the gl83a would win fr

[shell void]

nah Mac wants 240Hz too

it’s nice for FPS games

[merry stirrup]

for some reason my kvm isnt working as a keybaord so im just stuck on my bios

[topaz veldt]

anyone who says they don't want 240 hz is just being dishonest

[shell void]

or hasn’t tried it

[topaz veldt]

and is dishonest as a result

[merry stirrup]

couldnt even start tests today

[topaz veldt]

LIARS - all of them

[edgy laurel]

well, no point in disagreeing i guess

[merry stirrup]

and i know my system isnt dead cause the temp is changing it just doesnt work 😭

[topaz veldt]

Whats the best OLED for a shed

[merry stirrup]

grow it yourself

[edgy laurel]

old, ratty G4's

[merry stirrup]

in the very same shed

[topaz veldt]

OK C2 boy

calm down now

[shell void]

move the g4 out to the shed and get a g5 for the living room

[edgy laurel]

the GOAT

[topaz veldt]

I will be sure to let my 7 y/o know his minecraft G4 5090 experience could be better

[merry stirrup]

LMAO

give me the drugs

[topaz veldt]

I want an 83"+

[merry stirrup]

id be down for this but not in my bedroom

the 65 is awsome (ive turned it on 1 time)

[topaz veldt]

We have another family room I am going to do as like a game room

[edgy laurel]

I need to know if RTX HDR works with Minecraft Java. @steel stream would know

[shell void]

that 5 gizzles, a bit rich for your blood init?

[topaz veldt]

they're only like $3900 now

The samsung outdoor jawn is a little ridiculous not going to lie

[shell void]

i’m still seeing $5300 for 83” G5

$5500 even

[merry stirrup]

my sister is going to cry

[topaz veldt]

ah 77 was $3900

$5k is fine I prob have it in paypal balance

[shell void]

the 83” pricing is so stupid because it’s barely larger

[topaz veldt]

I just don't really want 144-165 hz

[merry stirrup]

someone send me a kit of ram to sanity bin

[topaz veldt]

I only play seldomly on the G4 like Star Wars, Indiana type games

[steel stream]

RTX HDR no, SpecialK yes

[edgy laurel]

Oh interesting

[shell void]

pretty chip

[topaz veldt]

unfortunately hideous because of hock tan

[steel stream]

SpecialK works, but it has issues, I've had to reinstall a few times to get it to work

[fringe vigil]

Hungry

[shell void]

me (left) you (right)

[vagrant cargo]

Im trying the 980 8gb with out 5080 because I thought i heard something does this sound right to you guys

[topaz veldt]

you need to diet bro, got that type 2 showing

[merry stirrup]

not a video

bro sent us a picture of sound.

[vagrant cargo]

Wrong thing

Is the 980 whining? Slightly

[shell void]

would you rather lip bu tan, or hock tan?

[vagrant cargo]

I just cleaned it

[merry stirrup]

coil whine

[topaz veldt]

lip bu

hock tan creating a lot of stress in my life

[merry stirrup]

this is already fire

put it in my system guilty thanks

[vagrant cargo]

Would it be noticeable with the 5080 in there aswell? Also im curious with coil whine does it get worse the more a gpu does?

[merry stirrup]

i want one of the random asus sonar cards

[merry stirrup]

no, you didnt notice it for however long you owned the card before

more work=more whine

[edgy laurel]

i miss the sound of the relay click when you'd swap between headphones and pre-outs

[merry stirrup]

im not old idk what you just said to me

the only relay i hear click is inside psus

[vagrant cargo]

I only got it recently and last time I used it was quite some time ago so tbh not sure how it got coil whine since might be from storage or from when I moved apartments 4 times in 2 years

[merry stirrup]

it always had coilwhine is what im saying

[topaz veldt]

lol 98" DU8900F is only $1699

[merry stirrup]

the urge to take 10 13500s home and bin them all

[vagrant cargo]

Im gonna load up a game and do 1080p on high with lossless scaling and see how loud it gets

Tbh I wont be using the 980 for long my XFX Speedster Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB GDDR6 should be arriving tommorow or the day after, the guy i brought it from said he " will deliver it tommorow hopefully"

[steel stream]

scamsung

[topaz veldt]

I wish there was cool tech out

[merry stirrup]

type shit

[topaz veldt]

shit

[merry stirrup]

cpus too slow make htem faster

[edgy laurel]

i don't think that thing is very good

[topaz veldt]

prob not at 1699

My daughter is already trying to trick us

[proven saddle]

light

[edgy laurel]

practicing sneaking out

[topaz veldt]

im doomed

[edgy laurel]

you're in for it

[merry stirrup]

lock me away in someones attic and force me to bin bdie

[topaz veldt]

..

[steel stream]

nah shes totally in bed

[edgy laurel]

father to a teenage girl sounds like a lot of work, at least you have that to look forward to

[merry stirrup]

BOZO

[edgy laurel]

maybe not more work, but stress

[topaz veldt]

She's more put together than my son I already worry less

last night we were doing bed time routine, dreading they'd be up all night, and before we even did drink/snack before bed she goes "Dad, I want to go bed now" and just walked up stairs and tucked herself in and went to bed lol

[edgy laurel]

wow

[topaz veldt]

meanwhile her older brother was making up every excuse why he couldn't lay down

[edgy laurel]

and they say girls mature sooner

[fringe vigil]

Bruh

[wraith steeple]

[shell void]

if you like your G4 so much then buy the Asus XG32UCWMG

[topaz veldt]

where is that for sale

[shell void]

only newegg i think

[bronze mango]

What is ekwb short for again? Was it Exploitative Koolers With Bills, Extra Kash Wasted Badly or Evading Kountry Wide Bureau?

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thats-bait-tom-hardy-mad-max-gif-5055384

[merry stirrup]

[merry stirrup]

[merry stirrup]

[shell void]

if they put out 32” 5K qd-oled with a lil curve then i’m gonna be tempted

[merry stirrup]

[shell void]

even tho i hate qd oled

[pure garnet]

bros buying grape juice

[shell void]

you’d think id learn after trying it twice

[merry stirrup]

[pure garnet]

i want 32 4k but all the stuff out rn sucks

[shell void]

xg32ucwmg doesn’t suck

[topaz veldt]

Don't tempt me zillow

[pure garnet]

1080 480 for valorant

[shell void]

that was my thought

4k240 for everything except 2k480 for val

[merry stirrup]

1080 480 for val sounds good

but on a 32? idk

[wraith steeple]

[shell void]

it’s gonna look like shit but if you play better then whatevs

[merry stirrup]

or is it one of the dual mode thats smaller in the 1080p mode?

[shell void]

you can do fullscreen or windowed

[pure garnet]

that used to be my main display

[merry stirrup]

oh okay

id probably do windowed although id have to see it

[pure garnet]

my first desktop display was a 28 inch 768p tv then i upgraded to a 32 inch 1080p tv

[merry stirrup]

yeah i just dont like super low res

[shell void]

15.75” 1080p lul

[merry stirrup]

up until a while ago i had a tv in my room but it was a 32inch 1080p tv

basically not even a tv and i didnt even use it

[teal orbit]

what's the point of the curve

[merry stirrup]

just looked too blurry

[pure garnet]

i used the vizio for awhile but i got the cheap tcl to replace it

i only use it for shows though not monitor

[merry stirrup]

fairs

[shell void]

i used a 40” 1080p tv on a foldout plastic party table with a 750ti when i was 12-13

[merry stirrup]

that was when the 750ti was new you unc

[pure garnet]

folding table desk is meta

[merry stirrup]

im surrounded by old people

[pure garnet]

$2000 tv on the folding table

[merry stirrup]

LOL

make it one of the extra wobbly ones too

0$ on facebook marketplace table

[shell void]

me buying a 5090 and a $25 bedsheet set in the same order

[merry stirrup]

LMFAOOO

[pure garnet]

yeah i use amazon basic sheets

[merry stirrup]

i got some rando brand for mine lowkey its great i dont mind

[shell void]

i want some nicer bedsheets but i haven’t gone down the rabbit hole to know what’s good

@topaz veldt what do you have

[merry stirrup]

bedsheet enthusiast

[pure garnet]

the floppa special

i mean my pc does live on a $45 nightstand i got off amazon

[merry stirrup]

when shes getting like a 900$ computer for free i gotta cut corners somehow

[shell void]

i need to talk to a bedsheet and pillow enthusiast

[pure garnet]

and my tcl is on a prefab dresser too

i know one

[merry stirrup]

stupid bitch only paying for her case

[pure garnet]

she has $150 sheets

[merry stirrup]

thats wild

[shell void]

seems very reasonable

[pure garnet]

floppa sleeping on the couch for that one

[shell void]

i’d probably pay up to like $500 if i expected to keep them for a decade

[wraith steeple]

My requirements are the bare minimum

[low sorrel]

Like you

[pure garnet]

we built my desk with plywood

[shell void]

LOL

[topaz veldt]

im not sure my wife does that shit

[shell void]

worldwide! (jk fuck you french canadians)

[merry stirrup]

no she knows lol

i am being a decent brother and giving her a computer but rudely

[shell void]

can i text her

[low sorrel]

A bedsheet and pillow enthusiasts sounds like they do things... To their pillows

[pure garnet]

oh i thought terra was for your girlfriend

[merry stirrup]

she’s getting like a pretty banger computer for stardew valley

[pure garnet]

carry on then

[merry stirrup]

no my wife is gonna get the mpower and something else

or maybe the amd mpower

[topaz veldt]

she doesn't answer texts trust me

[merry stirrup]

one of these

[low sorrel]

Why are you giving your wife an mpower

Also since when did you have a wife

[merry stirrup]

she won’t get the KS, it’s delidded and too unreliable for that

[topaz veldt]

my wife got an mpower

[pure garnet]

my wife is gonna be using tuned ram

[merry stirrup]

she’s currently on 4000mhz ram and a 4.8ghz 5500, her entire rig is max oced

[shell void]

and then your mom gets a half functional slot powered turing workstation card

[merry stirrup]

nah that’s gonna go to peyton and im gonna buy mom. a 3060 or something

[pure garnet]

my mom gave me a $200 budget for her last pc

so i had to lowball some dude for the thinkpad she has

[merry stirrup]

my mom also did not pay for her computer

my sisters boyfriend only paid for the gpu

[shell void]

my mom doesn’t really have a computer because she’s not interested

she has an old i3 7100u laptop that she uses like twice a year

[topaz veldt]

to be fair your mom can't read

[merry stirrup]

i built every one of their pcs out of my parts

my mom plays call of duty

[low sorrel]

Battlefield 6

[merry stirrup]

and at 4k now, so it needs to actually be okay

[topaz veldt]

BF6 is just so spammy

[pure garnet]

my dad doesn’t own a computer but my mom uses her laptop for bills and stuff

[merry stirrup]

yeah

it is definitely an anomaly that my mom plays video games

[shell void]

i queue with her sometimes

[merry stirrup]

she’d beat me on a controller, she’s not even bad

[wraith steeple]

Computers basically ran in the family for me

[merry stirrup]

i literally can’t use a roller anymore but

[pure garnet]

we gotta get floppas mom on val

[merry stirrup]

yeah i bet

the geek squad

not best buy

[shell void]

no we can’t do that because i’d actually flirt with her

[low sorrel]

Speaking about tech and family

My brother asked me to fix his PC and guess what the problem was

[merry stirrup]

thermal paste

[elfin lava]

I'm looking for a wireless (2.4 GHz or Bluetooth) gaming keyboard with the ISO DE Layout, RGB and a 75% or 60% size that still has F-keys like F3 and so. It should be quiet, high-quality and under 100 € (in Germany) if possible. I also maybe would buy a used Keyboard

[merry stirrup]

😭she also can’t use a keyboard very well

she’s a roller player and refuses to swap

[low sorrel]

He had his monitor plugged into the motherboard instead of the GPU

[shell void]

shawty needs a ps5 for console valorant

[low sorrel]

It's on console now

[merry stirrup]

something something separate work from play

[pure garnet]

im surprised they didn't try and make a ps4 struggle copy

[merry stirrup]

i played it. it’s aim assist is so broken.

it’s so easy

[wraith steeple]

The family even had the OG PC from Big Blue and a PS/2

[merry stirrup]

3 back to back aces in an unrated on console

[pure garnet]

marvel rivals running at 1080p30 on the base ps4

[edgy laurel]

https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/aws-crash-causes-2000-smart-beds-to-overheat-and-get-stuck-upright-3272251/

[low sorrel]

Tbf you can back to back ace on a new account in unrated on pc

[edgy laurel]

not everything needs to be connected to the fucking internet

[low sorrel]

Yeah why is that even connected to AWS in the first place

[merry stirrup]

dawg i was the one driving

i’m ass on a roller

[shell void]

bro why do i need to ask bezos for permission to control my mattress?

[low sorrel]

Your ass in general

[merry stirrup]

you’re and nuhuh

let’s see that tile frenzy or anything tracking

[wraith steeple]

I don't remember what the PS/2 had but given the era, 386 or perhaps a 286 is most likely. It got retired a good bit before I came along on the computing hobby

[low sorrel]

I'm on a laptop with no mouse

[wraith steeple]

[merry stirrup]

track point gaming requires the most skill

[pure garnet]

why does your mattress have an app

i have one of those adjustable frames with a remote and even that feels too modern for a bed

[low sorrel]

Why do you even need a smart mattress

[merry stirrup]

so real

[low sorrel]

Fucking just lay down and sleep

[merry stirrup]

this is why cloud services being hosted by one guy prolly not a great idea

[pure garnet]

i don't even adjust mine

the only time i use the remote is to put the sheets on

[merry stirrup]

i can’t my bed is on fire and upright

[pure garnet]

i max out the head and feet setting so it sits in like a u shape

then once the sheets are on i hit reset and it's done

[low sorrel]

Tbh I do not understand adjustable mattresses in general

[pure garnet]

yo im playing with power

[low sorrel]

Speaking of mattresses why are all of the normal mattress stores have all of these way too soft mattresses

[teal orbit]

kyoko monolith eta wen

[pure garnet]

never bro

my infa is a tiny lil thinkcenter

[teal orbit]

Someone like you needs a 10 node kubernetes cluster

[merry stirrup]

1 processor

[topaz veldt]

ha 1 vcpu?

aws free tier

[pure garnet]

yeah it's a vm for my forensics class

[low sorrel]

what you majoring in?

[merry stirrup]

SWAMP IZZO

[topaz veldt]

how do you even run windows on 1 vcpu

[low sorrel]

not well i suppose

[merry stirrup]

on a single skylake vcpu

[topaz veldt]

something that bills hourly

[pure garnet]

it with a minor in cybersecurity

[teal orbit]

start computer

its no different because preemptive task scheduling exists 🧌

[topaz veldt]

huh

[teal orbit]

It runs the same as any other computer I am just being pretentious

[topaz veldt]

ok

but yeah 1 vcpu is horrid

[pure garnet]

yeah it's slow

i don't have a choice though so i just get up when i open something

[topaz veldt]

you can give it more

[pure garnet]

no i don't have a choice it's provisioned by the company that hosts the "lab"

[topaz veldt]

oh lol

[pure garnet]

i just connect and follow directions

[topaz veldt]

that is abusive behavior

[pure garnet]

the "best" infra i've had at uni was for the alpine builds and even that's still really old xeons

we had 20 cores of sandy power

[topaz veldt]

does the vm have internet?

[pure garnet]

yes

[green marsh]

what the hell. How is someone selling an "MSI X99A GODLIKE GAMING CARBON" in "new, unopened" condition. Did that person buy a board and never used it for some reason ? 😄

[topaz veldt]

you should use azure server migration and migrate the whole thing to your own azure tenant and give it real power

[topaz veldt]

I had that

[pure garnet]

it's a server 2019 install

same image from 2019 apparently

[topaz veldt]

@green marsh I bought an X99 Classified and never used it

[teal orbit]

run alpine Linux on your lab vm

[green marsh]

tho at 130 euros, it is not worth buying any X99 stuff

[bronze mango]

X99 is always overpriced

X299 is legitimately cheaper for some reason

[green marsh]

CPU vs motherboard supply. X99 has overabudance of CPUs (because Xeons), and "not enough" brand boards. X299 doesn't have Xeons, so nobody buys them

[proven saddle]

big mobo

[green marsh]

i actually wonder what will i do with my 2950x + X399 system. Using it as HTPC feels... wrong

[topaz veldt]

build I never got around to

[proven saddle]

Blue light and Big E

[topaz veldt]

rack mount who cares

[proven saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/marikiplier-e-meme-lord-farquaad-gif-22138504

[proven saddle]

much ram

[topaz veldt]

128GB was gonna be a good workstation

[proven saddle]

ddr4?

[topaz veldt]

ya

[shell void]

one of my fav msi boards

[green marsh]

i split 128GB from the 2950x into 64+64GB RAM - moved the Trident Z RGB 64GB kit to the 3900X and the rest (Ripjaws) remained with the 2950x

[turbid locust]

Any local excel wizards in here? About to lose my fkin mind

[bronze mango]

X99 also has this odd cult of people that think it's the cheapest platform ever cause 8c for like $10, so they buy a $300 mobo, when they could have got an 8c for x299 for $20 and an oc formula for like $100

[proven saddle]

Nice what you do with it?

[topaz veldt]

I never ended up building it, built something else

[bronze mango]

Just a strange group of special people who will pay anything to say they made a PC with a $10 8 core

[proven saddle]

hmm can you show?

[shell void]

you have to talk to someone who is actually employed to get some excel help

[proven saddle]

or a 22 core one

[green marsh]

i have two x99 systems - one is my old broken X99 Deluxe from 2014 which has half of RAM slots not working; the other was a 66 euro machinist E5-K9 board

[shell void]

employed people aren’t talking in TC2 during work hours

[green marsh]

also both with 18c/36t 2699v3's (was around 40 euros)

[turbid locust]

bro fkin shit don’t make sense

[shell void]

i’ve never even looked at it

[green marsh]

1366 setup being sold as "Retro" feels weird

[steel stream]

what are you doing

[pure garnet]

they made me open chrome on 1 vcpu

common man this is torture

[turbid locust]

I have a sheet with a bunch of dates for record and I want to highlight/fill the cells a certain color based on their proximity to today’s date

and like I’m doing it and it’s highlighting random shit

[green marsh]

also this guy trying to sell these forever... at first he was trying to sell the mobo + RAM + two 2699v3's in one package. I guess he finally sold the CPUs, so now he only sells "Intel Server S2600CW LGA2011-3 + SKHynix DDR4 1TB" 😄

[turbid locust]

had chatGPT make formulas for me to try and it’s also just highlighting random shit

[proven saddle]

tiny fan

[steel stream]

are your cells actual date values or text

[bronze mango]

Gpt is pretty horrid at math

[proven saddle]

one question

[bronze mango]

Especially for matrices

I noticed awhile ago it literally can't touch matrices without fucking up

But maybe 4 or 5 o are better

[turbid locust]

dates

[proven saddle]

WHere is Omni man

[steel stream]

what formulas are you using

[turbid locust]

fuckin all of em atp

[proven saddle]

i use alt f4

[turbid locust]

I’ve tried so many

they either change nothing, change everything, or change random shit

[steel stream]

let me see one of them?

[turbid locust]

This is the one that ChatGPT gave me and it did something but it wasn’t great

[steel stream]

Have you ever interacted with a similar Excel in the past? Could you just find that one and copy the formulas?

[turbid locust]

nah

[steel stream]

hmm

I think the only term you would want would be the "A1<=TODAY()+45"

[pure garnet]

what's it gotta do?

[steel stream]

no reason to check if A1>=TODAY(), if the value is A1 or some date in the future it will highlight no matter what

[pure garnet]

every day i open excel it wants to update

[steel stream]

#tech-chat-2 message

I think what I would try =(A1<=TODAY()+7) @turbid locust

[pure garnet]

that'll just report true or false

[steel stream]

that should get you dates that are within 7 days in the future

[steel stream]

True

idk how to do an excel formula that changes output, so you can do a different color

[turbid locust]

A1 being any row I want right

[pure garnet]

yeah

[turbid locust]

Like if I want column L it’s L1 yeah?

[pure garnet]

you'd probably have to do a range

LX:LY

[turbid locust]

yeah Row 1 is all text as headers

[teal orbit]

It's really good at diff eq

Everything else I've tried though it can't even get in the ballpark

[steel stream]

Oh fuck does LG G5 not come with stand?

[pure garnet]

no it does

nvm i got lied to

[steel stream]

Fuck

[pure garnet]

100 bucks for the stand

[turbid locust]

nada

[steel stream]

damn

[pure garnet]

errors or just doesn't work

[turbid locust]

doesn’t do anything lmao

[pure garnet]

add =AND to the front

[shell void]

you got the wall bracket version

thankfully pedestal vesa stands are cheap

[steel stream]

time to order a stand ig

[turbid locust]

nothin

[pure garnet]

huh

it's working on my copy of excel i just tried it

=AND(A2<=TODAY()+45)

[shell void]

65 G5 is 60LBs and 300x300 VESA

[low sorrel]

or mount it to your wall

[steel stream]

I rent

[shell void]

well i mean i guess you could just order the official stand too

[pure garnet]

if you got g5 money you got lose the deposit money

[shell void]

but a third party one will be half price

[low sorrel]

fuck your deposit

be a tenant from hell

[turbid locust]

I took the AND out and it did highlight something, just something completely irrelevant

[steel stream]

Imma go 3rd party, I like the LG stand, but shipping from LG store will be Nov 10th lol

[low sorrel]

also you bought a g5?

[steel stream]

yes

[low sorrel]

why is everyone getting oleds now :(

[steel stream]

If I can sell the soundbar it'll be a G5 for like $1000 😛

[pure garnet]

wait akn how is costco taking your s90d back

didn't you buy it months ago

[steel stream]

90 day return policy

i bought it 66 days ago

[pure garnet]

wild

[low sorrel]

costco is goated

[steel stream]

i don't even need the box

[low sorrel]

also remember always buy your apple shit through costco for free apple care

[steel stream]

This will be the 5th OLED display I've bought

[low sorrel]

wheres the other 4

[steel stream]

I've bought an MSI monitor, LG C4 42", S90D 65" from woot I returned, S90DD from costco which I will now also return, and finally the G5

[low sorrel]

oled from woot is kinda wild icl

[lone scarab]

wow

[steel stream]

yeah and it came broken lol

[low sorrel]

brb buying a lg g5 https://www.amazon.ca/LG-H850-32GB-Factory-Unlocked/dp/B01CDZYXXE

[steel stream]

bro that's such a good deal you gotta get it

[low sorrel]

wtf the lg g5 is is 3.5k cad???

[steel stream]

I got mine for $1700 😛

[low sorrel]

when 240hz oled tv

[topaz veldt]

exactly

[topaz veldt]

where did you get the G5 from

[low sorrel]

i want giant high refresh rate tv

[steel stream]

LG Partner store

[topaz veldt]

wtf does that mean

[steel stream]

basically it's a special store for students/college faculty, first responders, medical personnel that get bigger discounts and extra promo codes

forgot military/vets

[gaunt lava]

Building a budget nas- should I start with a used office machine or should I start from scratch?

[shell void]

oh i’m affiliated alright

[low sorrel]

hmmm is that a thing in canada

[steel stream]

only one way to find out

[low sorrel]

why thefuck is the lg partner store firewalled

[topaz veldt]

ah word - when I was at a big pharma company we had this uber deal with some LG/Samsung site

[low sorrel]

on this random library wifi

[steel stream]

lets the librarians get all the deals

[low sorrel]

seems like it's business only in canada :(

[topaz veldt]

oh ffs oracle linux you are an asshole

[low sorrel]

oh theres no returns?

[steel stream]

yeah you can get decent discounts if you fall into that category at most major brands

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I am lazy and so I usually just do Best Buy or Amazon or B&H

[gaunt lava]

NUC with DAS 🤔

[steel stream]

yeah I'd prefer amazon but oh well

[steel stream]

oh what?

[low sorrel]

nvm it's only if it's on discount

i can read

[steel stream]

so like everything on the site lol

[topaz veldt]

yeah

[low sorrel]

i've been trying to get a job at best buy so i can get an employee discount

[steel stream]

it probs won't be very good

[pure garnet]

the us one is pretty solid i thought

[steel stream]

it just varies from product to product

like 5%

[topaz veldt]

depends

back in high school i worked at circuit city (lol)

and the employee discounts were "at cost +x%"

and so our "at cost" on things like printers, cables, etc. were pretty good savings for employee discount

but PCs were not

[pure garnet]

yeah that’s what i’m thinking of

[low sorrel]

I know from my friend that intel cpus is just at cost +10%

[pure garnet]

like we have a ton of bestbuy house brand cables because we got them for cheap

[topaz veldt]

its prob not much cheaper than Micro Center

[low sorrel]

bitch i live in canada

[topaz veldt]

I used to get people USB Monster cables that were like $29.99 in store for like $5

[pure garnet]

canadian ebay is funny

[topaz veldt]

Canada is kind of funny overall

[pure garnet]

yeah we paid like 8 bucks an hdmi cable

and they'd want like 30 bucks retail

[topaz veldt]

Another awesome one was car audio

Which is why I liked the job in HS - a $1,000 video headunit was like $350

[low sorrel]

I think audio as an whole is probably the best for discounts i would assume

[topaz veldt]

this 285K machine is so damned pretty

[steel stream]

damn that is nice

[low sorrel]

i think i would still be too cheap to buy anything

[steel stream]

you must spend ALL your money

[topaz veldt]

absolutely

can't take it with you

[low sorrel]

no

[low sorrel]

i will write in my will i must be buried with my life savings :p

i have like 65k in my college savings account

[topaz veldt]

@steel stream an employee just sent me alink to a LG B5 on our partner site

[proven saddle]

Is college like uni or realschule?

[steel stream]

[steel stream]

[shell void]

77” oled is the move for a living room

[topaz veldt]

@shell void are either of these decent

[low sorrel]

also my grandmas cancer isn't spreading anymore :D

[steel stream]

Yeah I would rather do 77" but, take what you can get

[low sorrel]

they said it's to soon to say if it's reccision but it's looknig better

[low sorrel]

*slowing down massively

[shell void]

XG32UCWMG is the only W-OLED monitor that i can recommend

both of those have a nasty matte coating

[topaz veldt]

ah

[shell void]

it’s a shame because the bodies are so pretty

[young void]

When on it looks aight but Michael would know best on these

The lg ultragear out of the 3 4k 240 oleds ive tried was pretty nice but got a Samsung now

[pure garnet]

what about PG32UCDP

[shell void]

that’s matte too

[pure garnet]

[young void]

Yuss but I do like it more then the alienware

[pure garnet]

yeah lemme buy a monitor with deep blacks and then put a fuzzy coating on it

[shell void]

it’s a great panel but i just can’t blindly recommend it because of this finish

[young void]

Happens

[shell void]

if you like matte then go for it

[pure garnet]

a thousand dollars on a monitor

[shell void]

i think brother worm is the only handsome guy that i know who likes matte monitors

[pure garnet]

the catgirls better look fine as hell

[young void]

The alienware looked good but had a black screen issue after like a days use

[pallid marsh]

Only one monitor?!

[young void]

Yeah only space for a 32 on my desk at the moment

[low sorrel]

Yeah and

[young void]

With how busy ive been ive only really used my pc for benches

[pallid marsh]

Only poor Canadian children use one monitor

[low sorrel]

Fuck off

Also get on squad

[pallid marsh]

At work

For another 6.5 hours

[pallid marsh]

I only have 4 monitors

[low sorrel]

You work until 7:30???

[pallid marsh]

8:30

1-8:30

[low sorrel]

Then 7.5 hours

[low sorrel]

Is that why you get on squad at midnight

[pallid marsh]

8:30 mountain time is my official time I get off 8pm if no customers

[steel stream]

Oh I am gettind rid of the Scamsung S90D

[pallid marsh]

Fucking finally join the DV club

[low sorrel]

Yeah this guy bought a g5

And still single monitor

[steel stream]

yeahhh

[low sorrel]

Why not dual g5

[shell void]

gosh darn it man i just remembered that the witcher show is dead again

[steel stream]

About that....

[shell void]

i try not to think about it because it’s upsetting

[low sorrel]

Akn...

[steel stream]

I just forget about the show

[shell void]

i was gonna suggest watching the witcher because it has a nice dolby vision master on netflix

and then i remembered that they killed the show

[pallid marsh]

They should just rename it to The ciri since it's clearly all about her

[steel stream]

S1 was so good

[low sorrel]

Can I get one?

[steel stream]

nah the other one is for my dad

[autumn rain]

Having only played the games, I think I may keep it that way since the show is over

[pallid marsh]

Can you hook up both sound systems

[steel stream]

Imma sell my S90TR tbh

[low sorrel]

I was gonna ask if you could give you money and you send it to my Po box in point Roberts before I realized how that just doesn't work

[pallid marsh]

Could set it up for your PC

[low sorrel]

Akn get on battlefield

[pure garnet]

@shell void do you have any experience with buffing off a matte coating

i’m thinking of swapping my omen out for my m34wq but it has the worlds worst coating known to man on it

[steel stream]

eh

[shell void]

it’s not feasible

[steel stream]

I don't have it </3

[shell void]

it requires a buffing tool, takes a long time, and covers the screen in little scratches

[steel stream]

<@&750150305383186585>

[shell void]

display guy on youtube did that once

he also tried using 3M headlight restore wipes on a monitor and that sorta works, but it leaves streaks

[pure garnet]

pain

do i just give my grandma my spare 27 inch so it’s out of my closet

1440p 165 for facebook

[shell void]

grandma deserves 165Hz scrolling

[pure garnet]

she’s on 1080 144 rn

[steel stream]

damn gma be balling

[pure garnet]

might throw the 970 in that pc just to make sure it has enough bandwidth

[pure garnet]

nah she’s on my degraded delidded 6700k

i'm just trying to clean out my closet but like 90% of it is hardware

[shell void]

i pretend my closest doesn’t exist

it has like a 5 foot tall pile of random boxes and parts and cables and monitors and whatever else

there’s two dough monitors in there, one is broken

[pure garnet]

i have 3 drawers of cables, 2 monitors, and so many boxes

[steel stream]

I'd still like to try out a gorilla glass Dough tbh

[steel stream]

yeah I've got a satchel just full of cables

[shell void]

i happen to have one

[steel stream]

I'd like to try it, but not in the market lol

[pure garnet]

ship it to krums

only $900 in shipping both ways

[shell void]

with how they treated our last package it probably wouldn’t even work by the time that it got to you

[pure garnet]

mystery stains and rko box action

[steel stream]

build it yourself monitor

[pure garnet]

the ups guy was about 2 more drops from handing me the 5070ti box without packaging

[steel stream]

the UPS rule is if it opens due to "accidents" you can keep it

[pure garnet]

does the 32 word vomit have the dual mode

kinda interested in trying a monitor with that ngl

[frank zealot]

@edgy laurel did you find those fan screws?

[arctic bronze]

just got some really good news, Ill be graduating with "High honors", Im in around the top 10% of my entire school :D

[shell void]

XG32UCWMG? yeh it’s 4K240 and 2K480

[pure garnet]

oh 2k480

most of the ones i see are 1080 so that's neat

[shell void]

2K is 1080p

[pure garnet]

i thought we were going with the 1440p = 2k cope

[steel stream]

michael do you have any recommendations for a TV stand or just whatever tickles my fancy

[shell void]

i haven’t ever bought one

id look for a pedestal stand that has height and swivel adjustment

[pure garnet]

why does a 2k usd tv not come with the legs

[shell void]

it’s intended to be wall mounted and comes with a nice wall mount

[pure garnet]

yeah but it's like 4 dollars for feet

[pallid marsh]

Or Dolby vision

[pure garnet]

it's lg we're covered on that front

Broken panel' failing PSU or multiple dead pixels

[edgy laurel]

Yeah I posted the pic shortly after. I’m on my phone hold on

[steel stream]

77" S90D have had widespread PSU issues

[bronze mango]

It also can't interpret circuits in any concrete way

[edgy laurel]

This @frank zealot

[bronze mango]

No matter how many hints you give it

It can do the math for a circuit

But it can't figure out what a circuit does off pin outs or a diagram until you literally tell it

[edgy laurel]

Wait you replied to it!

[pallid marsh]

Wait i can still bully you for wasting time and money for buying the Samsung in the first place 😎

[steel stream]

:(

[edgy laurel]

I’m so confused

[pallid marsh]

Like how much stress, frustration and depression did your first scammy unit give you

[steel stream]

honestly the second gave me more

[pallid marsh]

Oh

[steel stream]

it was pretty clear to tell that the first one was fucked

the second one I actually have to interact with the TV and it's not great

[pallid marsh]

Poopy os?

[steel stream]

yeah, it's slow, the settings menu is slow and not organized great, has some issues switching from SDR to HDR content and vice versa

[hoary hatch]

OMG is this the Samsung mascot girl thing?
I forgot they did that. What a weird time

[lone scarab]

You can't physically connect a HDMI cord to the tv only the hub

[topaz veldt]

OK guys... quick question - you are an app team owner who put in an order for like.... 10 blades, but there are multiple datacenters. What is the most important thing to get right in terms of the order?

[steel stream]

it just has the one connect right

[steel stream]

Where to send the blades?

[topaz veldt]

YES

Bro calls me up

he's unhappy with some teams responses to getting his shit setup, ok fine, what is even the deal

yeah dude he sent the wrong # of blades to the wrong datacenter

"Can we just leave it there?"

Uh I don't care - but its $90k

[bronze mango]

Pov McChicken in a couple years. There won't be any special inflation, McDonald's is just wylin with prices.

[topaz veldt]

wat

[random flame]

Lol wut.

[bronze mango]

McChicken went up like 500% in price since covid

Literally like $1 to $5

[topaz veldt]

ok but this is a $90k blade server

not a mcchicken

[pallid marsh]

Wait I lied it has HDMI it's just the worst kind micro

[bronze mango]

Until McDonald's says 10% inflation justified a $90k McChicken 🤔

[steel stream]

You MUST use the oneconnect box

[topaz veldt]

I can't follow BIOOC

[bronze mango]

It's McDonald's math

[random flame]

I have no idea where this applies here, but okay. Lol.

[bronze mango]

$1×1.20=$5

$5×1.10=$90k

I am trying to fix a JMAKER JGAURORA A5S 3d printer for my robotics team
I just need to replace the touchscreen screen, 1 z-axis couplet, and the hotend
I dont know the exact model of the touchscreen screen or the hotend
If anyone can help me find them in stock I would really appreciate it

[wise bear]

have you tried contacting the manufacturer

or consider that this printer is so old it's OOP and it's time to figure out third party upgrades or buy a new printer

[rigid vapor]

I have and I haven’t got a response back.
I do know that it’s old but I still want to try to fix it.

[wise bear]

look into getting a third party mainboard so you can use different screens

but this means you'll probably have to create your own firmware for the new board

[molten iron]

Currently looking for an NUC pc that’s not too expensive. They’re literally only going to be on browsers, no applications, just a website and maybe some other chrome tabs. That’s it.

I need something that would be around $250 or less. Anyone know of any brands I should look out for? I’m new to this market.

[pure garnet]

just web browsing? buy a used thinkcenter tiny/optiplex micro imo

[molten iron]

KAMRUI seems to make some pretty cheap ones that seem to sell a lot.

I would prefer something newer so it may last longer

The current NUC that’s in use was dug-up and won’t be able to run windows 11 too well. It’s a 6th gen intel CPU.

You know, Lenovo is a good brand. Thank you @pure garnet

.. I feel like I could just 3d print it now that I think about it

Wow I feel dumb

[pallid marsh]

https://www.theverge.com/news/802610/anbernic-rg-nintendo-ds-dual-screen-handheld-emulator will you buy the ambernic ds emulator?

[leaden dawn]

damn. I mightve considered it years ago but the thor looks a lot better tbh

[pure garnet]

no i don't care for retro games

i also just have a ds already

[smoky orbit]

Throw this abomination in the garbage, a ds/3ds with two joysticks? (Yes I know about the circle pad pro, but we don’t talk about that here)

And that thing on the “new” 3ds isn’t a second joystick either, it’s nub like all those laptop ones

[sullen turret]

hey does anyone know id i should upgrade to windows 11?

[indigo walrus]

If your computer supports it and you want security updates, yes.

[sullen turret]

if i stay with windows 10 what will happen?

[indigo walrus]

You won't receive security updates, which means it's only a matter of time until a zero day exploit is released that Microsoft won't patch. You could enable ESU to receive 1 more year of updates if you plan to stay on Windows 10 for now, otherwise, upgrade time. https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/extended-security-updates?r=1

[wise bear]

the first thing i see from coopa is this shit

[low sorrel]

So my brother bought an OLED and uhhh

Any ideas

[wise bear]

reverse drill bit and pray

[low sorrel]

Also why is everyone getting an oled

[brisk jolt]

deserved

[fervent elm]

Theyve dropped in price
You can get a decent 1440 240 for like 500 now

[low sorrel]

Didn't work

[low sorrel]

Drill too weak

[pallid marsh]

[brisk jolt]

What the fu-

[low sorrel]

he gave up and is just using the stand that came wiith the monitor

shit loooks real good with hdr

ughhh

[whole coral]

More than 20% to satellite whyyyy

What a waste of money

[livid flame]

Gotta pay Elon somehow

[zenith apex]

except it isn't

satellite is the quickest and cheapest way to connect rural areas

[whole coral]

Satellite is not a competitor to fiber. I’m just gonna say that.

Starlink isn’t even symmetrical lmao

[zenith apex]

in an ideal world every edge of earth would be fiber

but this is not an ideal world

planting fiber is expensive
even more so on rural areas
because of distance AND low population

[livid flame]

In an ideal world satellite would provide fiber speeds as consistently

[whole coral]

So glad I live in a suburban area. Plenty of fiber here with another ISP ready to string up main fiber cables to the poles

[zenith apex]

like 5G is also slower than fiber

we're not gonna give fiber ports to phones and dismantle 5G towers

[livid flame]

We could

[zenith apex]

hell, delete WiFI

[livid flame]

Steve jobs could have sold that

[zenith apex]

everything should connect via ethernet

even your freaking earbud

[livid flame]

Jensen might be able to

[whole coral]

I truly think fiber will win in the future. It just trumps all other connections in speed, reliability and consistency

[zenith apex]

being the most expensive to install per residential unit too, and immobile

[livid flame]

Were you born after the year 2000?

[zenith apex]

plus all the red tapes of digging underground fiber

[livid flame]

Cause not understanding hardwired connection being king and thinking wireless solutions are trying to be faster is the sort of thing that generation would say

We using massive underwater cables to connect fucking continents…

[zenith apex]

what are you talking about

[livid flame]

What ando said

“I think fiber will win in the future”

[whole coral]

lol. Fiber can easily do 10 gigabit symmetrical speeds

[livid flame]

Yes… i don’t see your point.

[zenith apex]

"Everything should be fiber"

[livid flame]

Nova is bang on. It’s about accessibility not the best speed

Farmers will make you pay to dig up their land, more than you or any authority think it’s worth. Believe me on that

[zenith apex]

installing starlink in a rural home takes one 300 bucks terminal

[zenith apex]

and this yes

[livid flame]

You build in a city say 10k to close a road, 5k to dig install etc. a farmer? He can’t use that land for years if ever at all. £30k to dig up, £50k to install and £10k every year to rent the space the cable goes under his farm. The farmer knows their lands worth

[zenith apex]

that 20% on satellite will connect a heck a lot more residential units than giving it to fiber

[livid flame]

That’s generalising but yknow, across say a 40acre field? You’re gonna get charged massive from a farmer

In the uk some farmers have lost and others have won against court orders to install broadband fiber connections through their land.

[zenith apex]

basically a lot of people get pissed off

[livid flame]

Most companies come in and offer £100-150k to build and bury it deep enough it will never bother them. Almost always they turn it down, because they know their worth

[whole coral]

Ok so they can just stick to satellite and not get the best speeds then. Fine by me.

[zenith apex]

Out of Touch materialized right here

[livid flame]

I mean that’s a nicer way than I would put it

But yes I agree

Never let this man become in a position of government authority

I mean I couldn’t get DSL in the UK until like 5 years after 90% of the country. I was on 56k, I think the DSL was like 4mb by the time I could get it

I guess they should have cut my 56k service then huh?

[zenith apex]

let's give that 20% to fiber instead of satellite
because fuck 90% of homes that the 20% would've connected, at least the 10% gets gigabit

[livid flame]

Deffo someone born in the 00s to have the attitude that “as long as I’m okay I don’t care about others”

[brittle trellis]

Hardly. And there's fuck-all maintenance cost

[whole coral]

There was this that was released last year

[brittle trellis]

Any cost negative is completed outweighed by the benefits

[whole coral]

I would always choose a hardwired connection than a wireless connection

Unless you have really bad cable though then the pendulum does swing more towards Starlink

[brittle trellis]

New installations and even upgrades to cable should be banned. Rollout fiber or go brankrupt, kthnx.

When they're done they can sell the copper from the old cables

[whole coral]

Hybrid fiber coax can be pretty bad in rural areas

It does happen lmao.

People be stuck on ancient DOCSIS 2.0 and wonders why the service is so so bad

[pure garnet]

my cable lines are unused so i’ve turn them into moca now

[brittle trellis]

Also ban this bullshit marketing name

[random flame]

And yet, AT&T doesn't run fiber out here, except for aDSL backbone.

And from what the tech we got once to help resolve some issues months back, they might not ever do something about it for years to come either.

[whole coral]

DSL is rough

Experience is so dependent on distance from the central office

My job had DSL from Cox (they are in a rural area) and they got like 3 Mbps download speeds and 0.5 Mbps upload speeds. Cox finally ran fiber to the building earlier this year and it’s a complete game changer

[livid flame]

Looks as shit as I expected

[scarlet iron]

Yall think a minipc with a 65w power brick would handle a 65w tdp cpu if I'd replace the old 35w tdp cpu

Bought a minipc with a i5 7500T but I've got a regular i5 6400/6500 at home

Planning to turn it into a game server for Minecraft and others

[brisk jolt]

tis the time for intel to shit even more discounts and bundles 😂

[lone scarab]

no

or maybe yes

if mother board only supplies limited power for cpu

you can try

there will be something new we'll learn

[livid flame]

Do I think a 65w cpu is good for a 65w power brick? Nope… that’s not a good idea.
