pokemon looks a lot better on the ti84 ce than it does on the gameboy advance sp

[polar prawn]

*lcd’s

[shell void]

the display is a lot better

[edgy laurel]

yeah

[polar prawn]

not the black and white ones those were probably lcds too though

i mean the color screens

[shell void]

iirc i have a white 84ce

[edgy laurel]

looks like there are builds available

[polar prawn]

huh

[edgy laurel]

ok why is this kinda sick

[steel stream]

they've started making them with matte plastic instead of gloss

[polar prawn]

that’s pretty fire

[edgy laurel]

I bet akn has that thing crunching numbers

really making it work

[steel stream]

oh yeah

[edgy laurel]

does the CE mean what I think it means?

[steel stream]

i have no idea what it stands for tbh

[edgy laurel]

I just think of Windows CE

[polar prawn]

color edition

[edgy laurel]

oh, yeah that probably makes more sense lol

Windows CE was like embedded Windows. tons of devices were built around it

ATMs, car infotainment

ran on anything, x86, arm, powerpc

[steel stream]

I just had an interview at Texas Instruments on Monday actually

bombed that shit lol

[steel stream]

fuck TI and their stupid calculators

[edgy laurel]

Noooo

[steel stream]

Jk i love mine

[steel stream]

it was "sales" (Field Applications Engineer) so I am not too bummed about not getting it

[edgy laurel]

go to HP

[steel stream]

maybe maybe

[pure garnet]

i liked my casio more

then i moved to ti for calc because learning the concept twice didn’t help

[edgy laurel]

is there really still a use for calculators like that today that can't all be done ona phone with the right software

[polar prawn]

wolframalpha.com

[edgy laurel]

or is dedicated hardware still better

[merry stirrup]

easier to just tell everyone to buy x thing than to rely on a website that could have potential service outages or be malware or misheard

[edgy laurel]

yeah I figured that still played a role

[merry stirrup]

software would be cool then you’re just telling everyone to buy whatever software

but i feel that’s no different

[edgy laurel]

don't need everyone on their personal phones in class anymore than they already are

[merry stirrup]

separating the calculator and computer is a good thing in an education scenario

yeah exactly

[edgy laurel]

makes sense

but I guess back to the technical aspect

[merry stirrup]

technically? nah i’m sure there’s better graphing software/just a website

[edgy laurel]

I don't know if there are any dedicated chips that do certain calculations better on dedicated calculators

[polar prawn]

it’s less distracting and puts you in a mental space or w/e that’s called

[merry stirrup]

we used desmos in school or whayever

[pure garnet]

standardized testing gets paid by ti iirc

to make you use their products on the test

[edgy laurel]

oh so its all a big racket

[hoary hatch]

Ayooooo

Casio just better

[hoary hatch]

NVM you suck

[hoary hatch]

The textbooks are written with tips and instructions for ti 83/84

Oh I did just triple ping I am sorry

[pure garnet]

i don’t care ab that

i sit in perma dnd bc the noise is annoying

[hoary hatch]

I uhhh

I think the only discord notifications I have are for DMs

[steel stream]

i like dedicated hardware simply because the buttons are so much easier and nicer compared to the phone

[steel stream]

nah they've switched the SAT at least to being online and using desmos

the big standarized test

[hoary hatch]

Maybe I'm old and stupid but if I needed to do a bunch of graphing I'd still use my actual graphing calculator

[edgy laurel]

tells ya something about what we lost

[steel stream]

if i do any math I use my graphing calculator

gotta convert base to milli? Whipping out that Ti-84 I stay STRAPPED

[steel stream]

phone is nice in a pinch as the base iOS calculator is not great, but a physical calculator is still so much better

[edgy laurel]

looks like there are a lot of calculator apps for iOS

this one even emulates a ti84 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/calculate84/id1459712793?platform=iphone

[topaz veldt]

Sick. Will do, I just got the last of the rug rats to leave lol

[steel stream]

yeah that's the one I downloaded

Oh I use that one when in a pinch as opposed to the iOS pre installed calculator is what I meant to say

[edgy laurel]

ohhh

[polar prawn]

mine lets me do fun stuff like solve integral(2x^2+2x,dx)-2x+5=17 for x in one line

[edgy laurel]

RIP

[fringe vigil]

sybau

[topaz veldt]

I'm thinking of buying another TUF OC and reselling whatever they send back for cheap

[steel stream]

can't solve an integral bud?

[fringe vigil]

yo snail wanna play arc

[topaz veldt]

I can't yet

Got like 6 more people to leave lol

[wise bear]

Man can barely solve his shawty problems

[topaz veldt]

The wine was flowing y'all

When the moms and dads are walking the neighborhood with yetis...

[polar prawn]

or it does multivariable calculus well too

[fringe vigil]

sybau this aint maths channel

[wise bear]

ok wine yeah great but what about the food

[polar prawn]

i’ve always been impressed with it for such a low powered device

[topaz veldt]

We had home made pepperoni roll, three home made meat lovers pizzas, a chick fil a strips catering order and I made chicken Caesar salad home made dressing

[wise bear]

fuck yes

[topaz veldt]

It was like 20 kids and 12 parents

[wise bear]

OH RIGHT its halloween

[topaz veldt]

Cannot WAIT for patio to be done

[wise bear]

I completely forgot

[topaz veldt]

Yup

We're picking out the stone tomorrow

[shell void]

dont crap on american semiconductor manufacturing you goon

[polar prawn]

one time I ate a platter and a half of chick fil a chicken minis at a programming competition because they were going to be thrown away and there was no fridge

[shell void]

TI fabs their own stuff in the USA

[polar prawn]

i looked it up and i’d ate 30k calories

[topaz veldt]

Worth it

[polar prawn]

oh yeah

[fringe vigil]

yummmmmmmmm

[topaz veldt]

It was a fav

The after trick or treating the kids had a multiplayer Minecraft fest

[zenith fog]

There’s no way

[edgy laurel]

man, how long ago was that where I cleaned my desk mat? I just dripped some tea on it

[fringe vigil]

snail do u stil go trick or treating?

[topaz veldt]

🤢

[shell void]

time for the towel burrito method

[edgy laurel]

it was just a few drips but still

[topaz veldt]

No I walk around with parent friends drinking beer and wine

[shell void]

[fringe vigil]

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/not-it-tina-fey-gif-8600020

[polar prawn]

i swear it was a full party platter and like half of another one I think 50 something of them

[steel stream]

mfs should have given me a job then

[shell void]

TI is one of the only good things to come out of Texas

[fringe vigil]

u better

[edgy laurel]

@topaz veldt i was looking up the trans he used and found one in a configuration you don't see often but its a common car. Take a guess

[zenith fog]

I’d guess more around 5k calories

[polar prawn]

oh it’s only 5k

[steel stream]

it's just setting Warm 50 and game optimizer mode

[edgy laurel]

you know if you squint that looks like a gun

[fringe vigil]

saturation?

[steel stream]

nah there's a color setting or smth

[edgy laurel]

no

[polar prawn]

huh idk where I got that number I was thinking about that the other day and thought 30k was completely absurd

i probably saw the calorie count of a chicken sandwich

[topaz veldt]

Porsche

[polar prawn]

instead of a mini

[low sorrel]

@shell void i have noticed a theme when i play valorant

[polar prawn]

*54

[low sorrel]

when i leave a game of bind and only a game of bind

[edgy laurel]

👎

[low sorrel]

my game crashes

[topaz veldt]

Hang on

[shell void]

peculiar

[edgy laurel]

I said super common, don't overthink it!

[topaz veldt]

Is that a torque tube

[edgy laurel]

also how would that be a Porsche with a torque tube lol

[topaz veldt]

Something awd

[edgy laurel]

nope

[topaz veldt]

951 bro wtf

[low sorrel]

happened like 5 times this week

[topaz veldt]

C6?

[edgy laurel]

ok ok i was thinking 911's but yes, Corvette!

[topaz veldt]

There we go

[edgy laurel]

they have transaxle's

[shell void]

youre washed snail it's over

[topaz veldt]

Yup but only after C4

[fringe vigil]

?

[edgy laurel]

ok sure but like

[low sorrel]

my ranked games have been going well

[topaz veldt]

I despise torque tubes

[edgy laurel]

who really cares before C4 lol

[fringe vigil]

gaming chat buddy

[shell void]

holyyyy

[topaz veldt]

C4 Dana 44 rear 💪

Don't you know what had a C4 rear?

[low sorrel]

ok buddy

[edgy laurel]

No, but being a transaxle thats confusing

[steel stream]

have you tried winning

[edgy laurel]

oh, AFTER C4

nevermind

[low sorrel]

what that

[topaz veldt]

No C4 wasnt

[steel stream]

idk

[topaz veldt]

My e30 was C4 swapped

[edgy laurel]

Oh yeah, ok you've said that.

[topaz veldt]

Yeah

A special hell

Doing 9.90s in like 2009

[edgy laurel]

Also this listing is funny, i can't tell if its a joke or real.

This kit will be 100% complete from end to end with a 10" quick change differential, custom DSS Level 5 Race axle shafts, custom torque tube with custom DSS shaft, shifter and many options, including bluetooth paddle shifting, automatic shifting after launch, rev matching on down shifts

[shell void]

snail you should buy three more 285Ks in hopes of getting SP95+ out of frustration because of the faulty 5090 TUF

[topaz veldt]

It's BT yeah

Also DSS (driveshaft shop) is what's in my E34

[edgy laurel]

5nail THATs what your E34 needs. A badass sequential

[topaz veldt]

I'm prob buying another 5090 TUF

[topaz veldt]

ZF8HP

[shell void]

but this is a perfect excuse for you to get an astral

[topaz veldt]

I was looking at Samsonas a bit ago but torque rating isn't great

[edgy laurel]

Hmmm ok but thats not as cool

[topaz veldt]

But then I need another water block

[shell void]

holy shi the white astral is $3400

[topaz veldt]

Yep

[shell void]

master ice down to $2650

[topaz veldt]

Yeaaaah

But then I need another water block

[shell void]

hopefully your 2nd tuf can play battlefield xd

[topaz veldt]

I'm thinking 5090 TUF OC with MC warranty lol

[edgy laurel]

sound plan

so fill me in real quick, you've only determined one card to be faulty to the best of your ability, yes?

[karmic folio]

pocket change

[shell void]

indubitably

[steel stream]

you fellers sure got some big pockets then

[fringe vigil]

my 4090 does everything a 5090 can do lol

[steel stream]

except MFG and VRAM intensive tasks

[edgy laurel]

i dunno about that second one

[steel stream]

well maybe not games but uh AI stuff surely

[polar prawn]

especially not ai stuff…

[steel stream]

So I suppose "except MFG and VRAM intensive tasks*"

[edgy laurel]

I mean, its a matter of scale. 24GB can do a fuckton compared to most cards out there. Have to have a little perspective

[steel stream]

oh yeah for sure

[polar prawn]

i mean it’s more than capable of doing a lot

[fringe vigil]

vram lol? no

[topaz veldt]

One min

[edgy laurel]

I got people talking about the LLM's they're runnning at home in this AI roundtable bullshit we're doing now

these poor guys are doing this stuff on laptops with 3060's

[polar prawn]

i went and saw one of the samsung s95f tvs with their new matte screens and damn they’re impressive

[edgy laurel]

you just commited a crime around these parts

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-beocord-no-lol-gif-24435520

[edgy laurel]

like, call the FBI

[steel stream]

if it ain't gloss, it ain't it boss

[polar prawn]

might have to cop one if they have a good deal since the reflections are bad on one of my TVs during the day

[steel stream]

and don't get me started on Scamsung

[edgy laurel]

Scamsung and matte in one sentence

[steel stream]

Just gotta make it to Tuesday 🙏

[polar prawn]

idk it isn’t a normal matte screen

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-blinded-flash-screaming-gif-21505041

[polar prawn]

i saw it in a very well lit store

[steel stream]

if you have S95F money you really should be getting an LG G5

why watch your content through a screen that looks like the toilet paper from a gas station bathroom

[fringe vigil]

50 cent

[polar prawn]

because it didn’t

[fringe vigil]

ak when your g5 68 inch coming

[steel stream]

tuesday

[polar prawn]

that’s why I looked at it in person

[fringe vigil]

are you parents gonna be mad that u bought it

[edgy laurel]

lol

[steel stream]

what they don't know doesn't hurt them (I ordered one for my dad too)

[polar prawn]

i have a C2 so I have something nice as a baseline to compare it to

[edgy laurel]

[polar prawn]

i don’t like qd-oled for monitor use really though

[merry stirrup]

i have picked up my setup/room

[polar prawn]

i determined that by my visit too

[steel stream]

matte and QD-OLED is just not a great combo, QD-OLED suffers from making blacks look purple in lighting, and the matte coating just isn't as good as matte

matte also suffers from a black raise, and you lose clarity in dark scenes

[edgy laurel]

I use that as my monitor and a number of others here use C4's. very popular option

[steel stream]

Jorj my dad is having his G5 shipped to my apartment so he can hide it from my mom till she gets out of the house for long enough so he can install it

[polar prawn]

i didn’t see a purple tint on their s95 but definitely on the other models

[wise bear]

WOW cyberpunk is pretty

[polar prawn]

i shined my flashlight at it and everything

[edgy laurel]

also I've been getting a "Your Magic Remote battery is low" for like 3 weeks now whenever I pickup the remote. I'm goign to see how long I can ignore that.

[wise bear]

why am i only just playing this game now

[topaz veldt]

So 2-3 weeks ago out of the blue I started getting directx crashes in warzone and BF6. But, everyone on reddit is posting issues also. I went down the oh shit it's a water block pressure issue and went installing and removing the block. Thought I was on to something but ultimately not. I put the stock cooler back on and installed it in my 9800X3D today. The card bombs at default clocks in Warzone, BF6, Star wars Outlaws. I changed nothing other than removing the 5090 master. I put the 5090 Master in the 9950X3D rigged like and it works flawless. The problem is the 5090 TUF OC also worked flawless after some fuckery, but the fact that I can launch Warzone one 5090 Master no issue, shutdown, swap 5090 TUF OC in, launch Warzone, rebuild shaders painfully slow, load the game, crash.... I can't think anything other than something is up with the GPU

[edgy laurel]

still on the battery that came in it from Jan 2023

[steel stream]

you also lose Dolby Vision on the samsungs, which has been a huge headache for me

especially if you self host files with DV layers

[edgy laurel]

Fucking hell, man.

[fringe vigil]

tf

[topaz veldt]

Yep

[polar prawn]

that’s the reason i don’t want it along with the price

the $530 48” b5 may be the move tbh but I am a little worried about reflections because that’s the most annoying thing with the current one

[topaz veldt]

But like the fucked up part is that I swapped the air cooler on put it in the 9800X3D and it worked for hours. So I put the water block back on and out it in the 9950X3D and it worked for hours. But now it's not working in two different PCs.

[pallid marsh]

Is it a surprise or did your mom not approve it?

[edgy laurel]

I got a little lost because you have multiple cards but I guess its narrowed down to just one

[steel stream]

she does not approve lol

but my poor dad has an edge lit IPS in the living room, it was time to upgrade

also tbf this is like TV number 5, Display #6 in the past year too lol

I will be taking a picture with all the TVs when they arrive

[edgy laurel]

roommates making jokes about all the boxes recently

[steel stream]

I can only open my door about half way now

[low sorrel]

coopa what cpu you have again

[pallid marsh]

When I got my mini led and showed it off with Moana playing my mom forced my dad to get a new tv even though they got a new basic LG just last year

[edgy laurel]

13900ks + 5070Ti?

[pallid marsh]

5700x3d and 5700xt

[topaz veldt]

Today I loaded warzone on 9800X3D 5090 Master running driver 571.57 it ran great no issues. Shut down, swap 5090 TUF OC in. DirectX crashes. Nvlmdrvm or whatever errors in event viewer

[proven cairn]

Hey tech-chat-2

[low sorrel]

[steel stream]

still gotta put a TV in here when it comes

[edgy laurel]

Damn. The new game crashing for lots of other people was not helping at all in this diagnosis

Ok

[topaz veldt]

Yep BF6 did it but so did SW Outlaws and Warzone every time

But the fact that the Master is fine 3 mins prior...

[fringe vigil]

kinda lit ngl

[steel stream]

ty ty, gotta get a lamp for it soonTM

[topaz veldt]

I got Warzone to not crash by doing a like -300 core and -500 mem

But it eventually crashed

[pallid marsh]

My 5700xt is supported with game ready drivers amd wants to implement....*

[steel stream]

but what about games you want

[pallid marsh]

Then I'm fucked

[edgy laurel]

[fringe vigil]

wtf for

[topaz veldt]

bro do you read here much

[edgy laurel]

lol

[fringe vigil]

sybau

[edgy laurel]

been asking him that for years

[rich idol]

Are the screw posts for EATX much different from regular ATX? mainly asking cause i'm eyeing an old server case, the stock motherboard is EATX and i was thinking of replacing it with a regular ATX, wondering if i can do that without modifying the case

[edgy laurel]

depends, E-ATX isn't a real standard

[rich idol]

ah, i see

[steel stream]

we need AI summaries of TC2

[edgy laurel]

so things could get complicated

[edgy laurel]

he still wouldn't read that lets be honest

[steel stream]

AI generated picture books of TC2?

[edgy laurel]

notice the "up to"

[topaz veldt]

yeah there's that other E-atx name

[edgy laurel]

like I have a board thats wider than ATX and advertised as EATX, but its not nearly that wide

[topaz veldt]

i forget it right now but its like....

[edgy laurel]

Its got a bunch of C's and EEB's in it

[merry stirrup]

ssi-CEB

[edgy laurel]

yeah that

[merry stirrup]

and SSI-EEB

[edgy laurel]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motherboard_form_factor#Tabular_information

[merry stirrup]

eatx just means anything bigger than normal atx

[topaz veldt]

yes ssi-ceb

i went to school with him

[rich idol]

I mean as long as the screw posts make the I/O line up with the slot on the case, then there shouldn't be too much issue, if have to grind off some posts to prevent shorting then so be it

[edgy laurel]

if you're talking about grinding off posts to prevent shorting you have all the skills you need to make it work

but if its like an old school server case, it may have some funky layouts

[rich idol]

it's a Dell T320

[edgy laurel]

depending on how old it is

[rich idol]

2013

[edgy laurel]

whoa, did your name just change

[merry stirrup]

its really nice using my computer normally

the last 3 weeks ive just been ram tuning

[edgy laurel]

why is this thing kinda boss looking

[merry stirrup]

cause it is boss

[steel stream]

my roommates are gone so I can crank my speakers and play Doom

yessir!

[merry stirrup]

and my Z2

[edgy laurel]

not the first person to put ATX parts in a T320

and there are many more google results where that came from

[rich idol]

I was thinking of running turenas on it, and also using something like jellyfin or plex on it for storing films. Problem is the stock motherboard automatically limits any IPGU in favour of the onboard matrox video adapter, and i don't wanna put a dedicated gpu in it if i can help it

[edgy laurel]

https://www.google.com/search?q=Dell+T320+case+%2B+ATX+motherboard

if its an Intel chip, iGPU is all you need

[rich idol]

yeah but the stock motherboard disables igpu completely with no option to enable it, hence me wanting to swap motherboards

[edgy laurel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/z4qefn/need_advice_on_repurposing_my_old_dell_t320/

as it turns out, lots of people have done this

looks good in there

people seem to like it, i bet the psus are good

[edgy laurel]

PSU's might need adapters, if you can use them at all

[merry stirrup]

yeah theyre cheap

its just normal server to atx stuff, guy has one in the image

[rich idol]

PSUs seem to use stock C13 power cables

[edgy laurel]

saw another one where the guy cut out the PSU cage to fit a normal ATX PSU

[merry stirrup]

probably didnt know how to adapt it

or didnt hve enough pcie plugs

idk i like my computer

[edgy laurel]

oh it looks like the PSU's slot into a backplane that has breakouts

[merry stirrup]

yes

[merry stirrup]

yesss

its adapted quite easily

[edgy laurel]

i like those tall boys when they're more squared off

[merry stirrup]

it was populat for mining, its common to buy dell psus and those boards as cheap high wattage high quality psus

[rich idol]

That's what i was planning, though i was thinking maybe a SFX as i probably wouldn't need a full size ATX power supply to power a NAS

[topaz veldt]

T620 or something

[edgy laurel]

oh sure, those exist yeah. but like, one that can be used in that specific case with those PSU's

[merry stirrup]

yeah im saying like specifically dell psus

[topaz veldt]

matches the coffee maker

[merry stirrup]

people buy shit like this:

[rich idol]

as it should

[edgy laurel]

google images returned it from T320 but maybe it is a T620

[wraith steeple]

Though the Colani cases were only available in Europe sadly. I love retro computing and custom Watercooling. Basically two extremes in the opposite directions

[merry stirrup]

adaptors themselves are cheap but you get it

[rich idol]

t320 is basically the same but slimmer and 8 drive bays instead of 16

[edgy laurel]

i'm concerned that they're dual PSU's

[merry stirrup]

why concerned?

[topaz veldt]

same shit really

[edgy laurel]

if you wanted to retain them, you'd need a breakout that supports both at the same time.

anyway, might be overcomplicating this but power will have to be considered

[rich idol]

I was thinking of getting a SFX power supply because of the size, granted it'll still be wider than the stock PSUs

[topaz veldt]

You can run a single in it

[edgy laurel]

are you comfortable with having to do some light fabrication to physically mount it?

[merry stirrup]

or jank

[rich idol]

both

[topaz veldt]

nom

[merry stirrup]

just pop rivets and set it there

[edgy laurel]

double sided tape.. SFX PSU's are tiny enough 😆

[merry stirrup]

yeah honestly i wouldnt be upset

its on the bottom anyways just dont shake the fucking thing

[edgy laurel]

actually

look at that pic again

[merry stirrup]

is that not it flipped?

[edgy laurel]

the writing on the stickers say no

[merry stirrup]

in this image its on the bottom

[rich idol]

If the PSU is light enough a 3D printed bracket could be enough, though if not i could outsource the manufacturing of a bracket to my high school, they can do sheet metal and CNC manufacturing

[edgy laurel]

i think that is flipped

[merry stirrup]

ohhh

[rich idol]

the hardware store i work at has double sided tape that's strong enough to hold up a 3kg sign

[edgy laurel]

input wattage.. is that from the machine itselfs perspective?

[rich idol]

actually it might be more more than 3KG, i just guesstimated

[edgy laurel]

3M VHB is no joke

[shell void]

a drop of superglue will hold a grown man

[rich idol]

i think it's basically the same thing as that just an "unnamed" version for the store i work at

it's just called "mounting tape" and is a 1mm thick gel-like thing

[edgy laurel]

@shell void badass, yes?

[wraith steeple]

You'd be surprised how strong this stuff is. I've seen folks use it to mount dual Heatkiller Tube Reservoirs, and those are built like tanks

[edgy laurel]

yeah, i wouldn't be surprised. I've used it too and its nuts

[rich idol]

I used it to mount some mosquito curtains in front of my door, i guarantee if i try to pull that off the paint will come off with it

[vestal granite]

i use this and my local neighborhood ants like to eat it

[rich idol]

tasty

[edgy laurel]

I think you got that mixed up pepe, its not fruit by the foot

[vestal granite]

fruit roll up

[edgy laurel]

na, fruit roll up was the more square one

[vestal granite]

oh

[merry stirrup]

theres like 60 out there

[edgy laurel]

american junk food from our childhood, @rich idol

[polar prawn]

what flavor is that

[vestal granite]

red

[polar prawn]

i remember strawberry and rainbow

not orange strawberry

[vestal granite]

i love the taste of red 40 actually

dont know what kind of awful health consequences it comes with but what i do know is that red tastes good

[rich idol]

But yeah, if i get an itty bitty PSU i can probably mount it with that stuff, it's rated for mounting in-door pipes and stuff and can withstand temperatures between -30 °C – +80 °C which i don't think a NAS will get anywhere near

[shell void]

it has an imposing presence

[vestal granite]

it looks like a peterbilt

[rich idol]

I'm familiar with american candies to some degree

i love peterbilt

I like them so much i bought American Truck Sim just to port the peterbilt models to Euro Truck Sim

[polar prawn]

the all red one isn’t even good but the rainbow one is fire

[rich idol]

But yeah reason i wanna build a NAS with a server case is cause of the easy access drive bays, and the case of the T320 in particular can even be opened without tools

[steel stream]

some people smoke crack, you can eat some Red 40

[vestal granite]

thats what im sayin

i dont smoke cigarettes i think i earned a bit of red 40

[edgy laurel]

this analogy can really take you places

[vestal granite]

i like these cinnamon hard candies

[shell void]

seed oil and food dye fearmongering is propagated by pseudoscience nutjobs

[steel stream]

if eating spoonfuls of nutella keeps me from doing heroin I'll do that

[steel stream]

it lets me get away with a lot tbh

[pallid marsh]

grandma?

[rich idol]

Thinking about how when raspberry candy was made some genius was like "it can't be red cause cherry and strawberry candy is red" and then they made it blue

[edgy laurel]

i'm thinking a PB and honey sandwich

[vestal granite]

yeah thats how i found out about them

[steel stream]

https://youtu.be/zMaTrgUKC1w

[vestal granite]

i love styrofoam too

[edgy laurel]

holy shit if I click to watch in inline I get an ad. i haven't seen ads on youtube in years

why did I do that

[vestal granite]

yeah i hate that so much

[grizzled lily]

best nzxt case?

[rich idol]

the flashbang

[steel stream]

anything else

[edgy laurel]

horrible flashbacks to the dark days

[steel stream]

for some reason they make ads abysmal on AppleTV

[rich idol]

Low key thinking of getting a router level adblocker so anything that's connected to my router just gets adblock

[grizzled lily]

should I get h7 flow for $99?

[steel stream]

like 60 second unskippable all the time

[edgy laurel]

@vestal granite while googling those fruit roll things I found this and i'm intrigued. ice cream inside a fruit roll up and then frozen again

[steel stream]

yeah it's aight

[vestal granite]

this is either amazing or awful

[rich idol]

holy united states, batman

[edgy laurel]

i can't think of a single reason it would be awful

[merry stirrup]

mfs seeing any sweet treet:

[vestal granite]

well fruit loops roll ups by the foot are sometimes kind of sour

[shell void]

holy gluttony

[vestal granite]

they should make this but ravioli instead of cannoli

[rich idol]

i was suddenly and violently reminded of the burger king bacon sundae

[steel stream]

I feel like you would like Spaghetti Eis

[grizzled lily]

best thermal paste?

[rich idol]

This shit is so american, not even burger king in my country servers this

[vestal granite]

must be fake, they would never give you whole bacon strips

[edgy laurel]

dear lord thats horrible

as an american i'm offended

[rich idol]

probably just was just for promo

[steel stream]

@vestal granite spaghetti eis

[vestal granite]

i would try this because i like bacon and i like sundaes so what i could do is just remove the bacon and then i have a normal sundae

[rich idol]

I learned about the bacon sundae from a fucking Accursed Farms video

[vestal granite]

what is this why does this look weird whats happening

the tomato sauce looks like strawberries

[rich idol]

it probably is

[vestal granite]

or perhaps elderberries

[steel stream]

vanilla ice cream put through a ricer to look like a pasta, then the sauce is strawberries with coconut flakes on top

[vestal granite]

i dont appreciate that

[rich idol]

It's just ice cream pressed through like a.. press thing to make it look like spaghetti

[rich idol]

yeah that

[vestal granite]

some things werent invented for a reason

[rich idol]

mods, make pepe eat spaghetti ice cream

[steel stream]

i like it, think it's a cool novelty

[edgy laurel]

i'd eat it

[rich idol]

now y'all eat the bacon sundae

[steel stream]

yeah I'd try it once

[vestal granite]

worst case you wash the ice cream off the bacon and u have plain bacon

[edgy laurel]

all probably too young to remember Dippin Dots

[vestal granite]

no i love dip n dots

[pallid marsh]

i had them last month

[steel stream]

yeah at the end of the day it's ice cream strawberry sauce and coconut

[steel stream]

nah i had them a few times growing up

[rich idol]

Idk if i'm too young, that shit just doesn't exist here

[vestal granite]

water park i used to go to as a kid (we just saved the wristbands and got in for free like every other week) had a dipndots stand

and snow cones it also had snow cones

[steel stream]

yeah super common at places like water parks or amusement parks I think

[edgy laurel]

Ice cream and LN2, what a perfect combo

[vestal granite]

sometimes when i see a dip n dots freezer at a store im tempted to spend $10 on a thing of dip n dots but i stand strong

[steel stream]

that cold shit? Yeah let's make it colder

[rich idol]

i miss shaved ice, a kiosk where i lived used to serve it, then the kiosk got closed and some time after that the popularity of shaved ice just died out, i don't know of any place in a 100 mile radius that sells shaved ice

[edgy laurel]

The confection is created by flash freezing ice cream mix in liquid nitrogen.

Also

Because the product requires storage at temperatures below −40 °C (−40 °F), it is not sold in most grocery stores, as most cannot meet such extreme cooling requirements.

[rich idol]

i can get slushies anywhere i want but it's not the same

[steel stream]

you ever think about how they make those spongebob or spiderman ice creams

[edgy laurel]

a mold?

[vestal granite]

i dont wanna know, the eyeballs are never in the right place so it must not be a very scientific process

[steel stream]

but how do you make such a mold that allows for different colors in very specifc parts

and it has to be frozen at the same time really

[vestal granite]

you just pump the colors in and pray it ends up fine

[edgy laurel]

Italian places still do it

[vestal granite]

italian places do it and usually specifically along rivers in cities

you can find stands with italian shaved ice

[steel stream]

it uses very precise freezing and pumping techniques, very similar to mixing rocket fuel

[vestal granite]

i like the lemon i always get the lemon flavor

[vestal granite]

our ancestors surely hate us

[steel stream]

yeah probably

[rich idol]

that's not within 100 miles

Hell that's not even within 500 miles

also that looks like a mickey mouse torture device

[steel stream]

yup

[rich idol]

the doohickey

[steel stream]

like you essentially have to freeze the solution the moment it touches, as well as feed it all properly

[edgy laurel]

step away from the computer

[steel stream]

just for this

[edgy laurel]

then back to it and crank Doom

[steel stream]

like this must have been like 100s of thousands of dollars to develop the mold

That looks like the ingredience of Swedish 88:an, but with the concept of Swedish version of that ice cream.

if you read the name of the ice creams above in reverse order, it's almost like that one song from Kanye West

[humble mirage]

Hey guys need a hand, I am running a 9070xt and am trying to change my stream output to 1080/1440 but all the videos are showing people changing the encoder setting but for some reason its not an option. Any ideas a way around this??

[lone scarab]

what does 88 mea

[gentle urchin]

it's named 88 because it was their 88:th product

[lone scarab]

oh

alright

what does nogger mean

[gentle urchin]

H is also the 8:th letter of the alphabet, so it is a bit sus name

[gentle urchin]

Just a fun play on the name of the ingredience Nougat

[burnt mortar]

yes

Sorry right when i tried to answer you I was in a cinema and my Connection went poof

the frametimes do be weird here, but the average overall does beat it with SAM

1080p with SAM = 82 FPS
1080p without SAM = 61 FPS
1440P with SAM = 65 FPS
1440P without SAM = 48.2 FPS
4K with SAM = 39 FPS
4K without SAM = 28 FPS

These results are for AC Valhalla (all max settings) tested in early October 2023 by myself on a 5800X + Radeon VII

could be the mixture of SAM and HBM2 that does this, but wouldn't know for sure

[dry tide]

If power is effectivly free (solar panels & cheap electric). Is their any benifit to using window's "power saving" & "high perfomance" on a integrated and dedicated gpu?

[devout ridge]

no

[dry tide]

Cool

[green marsh]

damn, did corsair kill their commander thingy lineup ?

i mean this

seems like they now only have iCue enabled parts, but everything has to be iCue, including the fans

i guess yes. so now i need to decide to either pick an used commander core xt for 30 euros, or find an alternative for a motherboard which doesn't have fan control outside of the CPU fan header

[edgy laurel]

don't you need icue to talk to the Commander series?

those were great if you used Corsair fans

stupid proprietary rgb plugs

[brave panther]

probably lost lots of popularity since you can achieve same for few bucks with arduino pro micro or ras pi pico

https://github.com/Legion2/CorsairLightingProtocol

[green marsh]

i talk about HW side. They killed off the generic series of controllers which could control 4-pin fans. Now you can only use iCue enabled parts through the special iCue cable

[edgy laurel]

I have a hard time believing that electronics hobbiest solution has any role in Corsair not selling it anymore

[green marsh]

this thingy

[edgy laurel]

Link, yeah.

I'm just saying those Commander units couldn't plug in ARGB from "generic" fans

without an adapter

[green marsh]

but i need it for normal fans, just for fan control. I guess i need to look at nzxt or buy their overpriced aquacomputer quadro/octo

[edgy laurel]

for that it would work yeah

I regret buying into the ecosystem and that mistake was 5 years ago but an old NZXT H210i came with one of their little "Smart Thing 2" hubs

in my older AM4 build that little thing has been great, i have to be honest

[humble dust]

Anybody here ever been stuck in a bios loop

[edgy laurel]

ARGB and PWM from 9 fans without a hiccup

[edgy laurel]

sure, and we troubleshoot whats preventing a boot, notably ensuring a proper boot device is found

[humble dust]

Do you know what might be causing this bios loop

[brave panther]

https://github.com/tjko/fanpico/wiki
if you want something diy

[green marsh]

i just want something "cheap" for an china X99 board. I have one aquaero 5 LT, but that has only one PWM header. I guess i will stay with that

[brave panther]

fixed fan speed, temp controlled or software controlled?

[green marsh]

software controlled

[edgy laurel]

that was the benefit of those "name brand" units

[green marsh]

i mean the aquaero 5 LT works. But it has 1 PWM + 3x3-pin, i don't want to use 3-pin fans if i can avoid it

[livid flame]

Well we have to know what changed to begin to understand what caused it

[brave panther]

everyting is just an fancy splitter
cant find anything good commercialy

[humble dust]

Well my power cut which happens often, sometimes the bios menu boots up when I turn it back on, this time however when I saved and quit it just loaded back into the bios menu

[edgy laurel]

smart device v2's do the job and as much crap as NZXT gets (and probably deserves) this thing has been nice. CAM never once gave me a problem and sat quietly in the system tray taking up almost no resources.

30 dollars. One project. And one dobut that it works. Also one session of begging to my father to buy the parts cuz I got mocked in class cuz they thought I could not do it

[civic reef]

What I this exactly

[green marsh]

mini pci-e to M.2 key M adapter

only PCI-E 2.0 x1, but still, allows old devices to have NVMe storage

in my case it would be to add storage to a device which only has mSATA and mPCIe. mSATA SSDs are expensive

this is an alternative, but oversized plus i need a PCIe adapter

[slim solstice]

This is amazing

Can I put a graphics card on this

[green marsh]

i would fear the poor SATA power cable, but yes. At very bad performance tho, PCI-E 2.0 x1 is super slow

[slim solstice]

But is it better than integrated graphics

[green marsh]

i wouldn't say that

[polar prawn]

that seems like such a pain in the ass to build in omg

[young void]

[young void]

Can watch Robey tech a few times. Or theres a few ltt vids as well. Or can do it step by step with manuals but that gets alittle hard on ones first go

[surreal night]

oki thanks

[young void]

Every part also has a YouTube video from inserting ram to the mobo

[surreal night]

also is GT 1030 good

[polar prawn]

no

[young void]

[surreal night]

oh

[slim solstice]

If your running on integrated graphics from the 2000-2019 group then yes

[surreal night]

I have an 11900K

[slim solstice]

The integrated graphics would most likely overpeeform the gtx

[surreal night]

okay

what should i get instead of 1030

like a 3050?

[slim solstice]

Wat ur budget

And what board ur using

The wattage of your psu

[surreal night]

holup lemme check

[polar prawn]

save up at least $300 I’d say for a GPU it’ll be the most important part

[slim solstice]

With that you can get a 4060

[surreal night]

that mobo

[slim solstice]

Should be enough

Psu wattage?

[green marsh]

i guess i will grab this one, even tho i would have prefered directly M.2 instead of PCIe slot, but oh well

[surreal night]

and a 800 watt psu

[polar prawn]

otherwise you’re just going to be wasting your money

[surreal night]

i have 1500 dolar for gpu

[devout ridge]

that’s not M.2

[slim solstice]

Looks more safe

[devout ridge]

oh that’s what you’re saying

[slim solstice]

Holy shit that's a 4090

[green marsh]

mPCIe to PCI-E x4@x1, then plug in PCIe x4 to NVMe adapter

[surreal night]

okay

jesus that’s convoluted

why is one number, two number, three number instead of 3 number pairings

[surreal night]

okay ill order it

[green marsh]

that is indian system for you

[polar prawn]

you don’t have a 4090 in that photo

[surreal night]

wha

[civic reef]

Fair enough

[slim solstice]

A 4090 is expensive

[polar prawn]

i see 5080 and 4070 ti…

[slim solstice]

A 4070 should do

[green marsh]

yay, found a replacement. Will also get the dumb china mini screwdriver number 279

[brave panther]

These are available

[green marsh]

not going to fit 😄

[slim solstice]

Do you want a 4090 ac voltage stabilizer

[slim solstice]

Best deal you should go with this

[polar prawn]

with that budget either go for a 4090, 5070 ti, or 9070 xt

[slim solstice]

But that screw standoff thing is very annoying

[brave panther]

Understandable

[slim solstice]

4090 out of budget

[green marsh]

it is mPCIe under mSATA inside a chasis like this (this is a newer version of what i have, but mostly the same)

[slim solstice]

Wtf there's a 4090 for 35 lakh

[polar prawn]

I’d go with a 5070 ti (don’t waste money and just get the cheapest mondel, more expensive ones are ripoffs especially on midrange cards)

[brave panther]

Does it even support nvme?

[slim solstice]

What is this sir?

[green marsh]

don't have to. You can boot NVMe on old systems using USB stick with rEFInd with NVMe driver

[slim solstice]

Do you know how to skip the boot picker?

[green marsh]

it was my old router mini PC. Had dual gigabit intel nic

[slim solstice]

Do you know how to skip the bootpicker tho. A router I gotta try that

[green marsh]

timeout numeric value Sets the timeout period in seconds. If 0, the timeout is disabled—rEFInd waits indefinitely for user input. If -1, rEFInd will normally boot immediately to the default selection; however, if a shortcut key (for instance, W for Windows) is pressed, that system will boot instead. If any other key is pressed, the menu will show with no timeout.

[slim solstice]

Is it same for clover? 🍀

i would say no

or maybe 0 is automatic, sorry

so -1 is no automatic, 0=automatic, >0 wait X seconds

[odd sable]

was? you replace it?

[brave panther]

Interesting so i can load up my dual 2011 system full of nvme drives if i dont boot from them

[green marsh]

yes, with one with 2x2.5Gbe https://www.notebookcheck.net/Minisforum-Venus-Series-UN100D-review-Mini-PC-for-office-tasks-with-Intel-N100-and-DDR5-RAM-starts-at-219-euros.848439.0.html

[odd sable]

understandable

[slim solstice]

Nice but it feels less luxurious

[green marsh]

you can do that even now. The rEFInd/Clover USB drive trick is needed only for booting. But i think you need to be booted in EFI mode to be able to use NVMe drives (maybe not, never tried it)

[slim solstice]

Pcie to nvme yeah

[modern reef]

Would love a response https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1434220590147047484 🙂

[slim solstice]

I'm doing that in my 2013 build rn

[green marsh]

N100, 16GB RAM, NVMe 2280, SATA, 2x2.5GBe

[slim solstice]

The outer body I mean

A relative could come and say ur pc is so ugly goah

We don't want that but it's your choice

[odd sable]

i boot my R730 off NVMe w/ rEFInd + clover's NVMe drive, works great

[slim solstice]

Assuming the relative does not know much about pc

[brave panther]

Nice, might buy 4x m.2 bifurcation card

[odd sable]

who gives a fuck?

[slim solstice]

But does it even support that?

[green marsh]

ironically the biggest issue with the minisforum mini PC is CMOS battery. If the battery is not present or low voltage, the mini PC refuses to POST at all. The Jetway mini PC or any other PC i know will boot without battery, they just lose settings

[slim solstice]

If it doesn't the alternative is ver expensive

[slim solstice]

That's sad

[odd sable]

i also use a minisfourm box as my router (MS-01), and its got the same issue, and it drains them quickly

my solution is to just not loose power, and have a bunch of the batteries on hand

[slim solstice]

But we do need time for a router for when the device syncs time with router

[slim solstice]

I have seen something on amazon that is a usb to coin batrey adapter. Just connect to to a wall socket or ups and ur good

[green marsh]

unfortunately i had to power it off, because the UPS powered itself off due the sealed accumulator being dead :D. Then i waited a week till i got the batteries. Ordered 5 at once

[odd sable]

yea, i got a pack of batteries when i got my MS-01, because i knew of the issue

the one time ive needed to power it off, battery was dead and i had to replace it

[brave panther]

Didnt know minisforums devices eats cr2032 batteries, nice to know

[odd sable]

some of them do

[green marsh]

i was afraid it was completely dead, but no, it worked with new battery. I wish it worked with no battery tho. I cut off the old leads from old battery, might connect it to a coin battery adapter and then i can use a normal CR2032

[slim solstice]

Did you try buying batteries that hold higher voltage or have you seen if there is any parasitic power draw

[odd sable]

afaik, the eating them problem has been fixed in newer revisions

[green marsh]

into something like

[odd sable]

but the posting issue, afaik, persists

[slim solstice]

That's what I said

[brave panther]

Time to install 18650

[slim solstice]

Oh wait I didnt

[green marsh]

UN100D is completely gone from their website, no new BIOS etc

[slim solstice]

What is a 18650?

[odd sable]

oh, i meant newer minisfourm devices in general

[brave panther]

Google it

[slim solstice]

Is this a chineese company?

[slim solstice]

A pcb ok

[green marsh]

the big friend

[odd sable]

afaik, the MS-A2 doesn't suffer from eating the battery

[slim solstice]

Oh my fucking god it's a bbc

[green marsh]

who is not chinese company these days

[brave panther]

Asml

[slim solstice]

I wonder why the chineese company wiped the item off it's website

[odd sable]

i should probably get something like that

[slim solstice]

Big black cell

[odd sable]

if nothing else to make the replacement easier

[green marsh]

because it is EOL

[odd sable]

"EOL"

[slim solstice]

Why would you buy a eol item

[brave panther]

If you remove it when its powered on does it cause issues?

[slim solstice]

Or is this your old one

[odd sable]

wasn't EOL when purchased?

also, EOL really just means end of support

[brave panther]

Thats eos

[slim solstice]

Dell website be like:-

[odd sable]

no idea, i dont open my router when its on

[green marsh]

sadly i will have to buy 5, they sell them in 5 pack for 2.7 euros 😄

[slim solstice]

Buy 20 don't be shy be like linus

Also did Linux get fired?

[odd sable]

no?

[green marsh]

or these for 10 pack for 37 cents, but meh, i prefer the first one

[slim solstice]

Oh good hes not

[odd sable]

i mean, id like to know how you'd go about firing a kernel

[slim solstice]

Pandroid can you do some soldering work?

[green marsh]

horrible soldering, but soldering 2 wires together should be easy

[brave panther]

Who cant

[slim solstice]

You could buy a power board usb wala

[green marsh]

i actually got one holder, but by mistake i oldered the 6V ones (for 2 batteries)

[odd sable]

heh

[green marsh]

it's a stupid CMOS battery. I will not do experiments with that

[slim solstice]

And then solder the terminals on your router to the power board and ask the power board to deliever the voltage of the coin battery viz usb c

[slim solstice]

Will cost you less over time

[odd sable]

how does that work when power goes out?

[green marsh]

nevermind. 0.39 euros in the place i will buy two UPS accumulators anyway

[brave panther]

The point is to have a battery when device is unplugged

[slim solstice]

Ups

[slim solstice]

Ups

And anyways the setting go away when the voltage goes low and he has to replace the battery

[odd sable]

you got a UPS that will last a week?

[brave panther]

https://tenor.com/view/dummy-stupid-facepalm-pat-a-mat-pat-and-mat-gif-6910481948240190607

One stubborn mf

[green marsh]

the debate is about a replacement for this

[devout ridge]

for a ras pi maybe

[slim solstice]

Wait what

You got one of those motherfuckers

[odd sable]

yea, thats on me, i set the bar too low

[green marsh]

the debate was about mini PCs dude 🙂

[odd sable]

i mean, wasn't really a debate, more just bitching

[green marsh]

mini PCs, laptops and even many mITX boards use these "dudes"

[slim solstice]

A pi 5 can be classified as a mini pc

[brave panther]

It wasn’t a debate until he made it

[slim solstice]

A mini pc that won't get corrosion from sitting in a dry and safe environment for years and won't catch on fire when pierced

[odd sable]

yea, and id like to see a pi 5 route 25gbps

[slim solstice]

Ever heard of a hat?

[odd sable]

its not fast enough to pull that off...

[brave panther]

I would like to see a ras pi installed with proxmox and couple of vm

[brave panther]

10x the speed

[odd sable]

i said 25gbps, not 2.5gbps

[slim solstice]

I would like a cheap mini pc from recent years do that

[green marsh]

well damn. There goes ZimaOS... while $29 for lifetime isn't a bad price, i can't be bothered to pay that for backup NAS

[slim solstice]

A mini pc that's not a small board but a modular board with ram and stuff

[slim solstice]

Oh wow you need a subscription to make ur board less not server

[odd sable]

whats zimaos?

[slim solstice]

Atleast it's a lifetime license

[slim solstice]

It's like rpios but for the zimaboard and costs money

[pure garnet]

do you just type whatever you feel like

[odd sable]

seems like

[pure garnet]

it's another nas os like truenas afaik

[odd sable]

zfs?

[green marsh]

NAS OS

[slim solstice]

A rpios can be also a nas os

[green marsh]

no, i think they use btrfs

[pure garnet]

so the answer to my question was yes then

[slim solstice]

Just 2-3 commands from installing docker to setting up a container

[edgy laurel]

they sell hardware too

[pure garnet]

i don't see zfs in their filesytem list

[odd sable]

oh eww, has btrfs fixed the write hole in raid 5/6?

[pure garnet]

https://www.zimaspace.com/docs/zimaos/Disk-Format-Supported

no xfs support at all is odd since that's upstreamed but not my project

[odd sable]

im surprised no zfs

[edgy laurel]

ZimaBoard 2, ZimeCube, ZimaBlade. Also CasaOS in addition to ZimaOS

[slim solstice]

They have a blade? How many can u fit in a 1u rack?

[edgy laurel]

Imagine if you could find out

[pure garnet]

“how many units fit in a 1 unit rack”

read that back

[slim solstice]

Oh that's fat

I thought it was like the raspberry pi 3rd party compute module thingy

I forgot the name of the item but it ends with blade

[edgy laurel]

it doesn't go in a rack

[green marsh]

i don't think anyone uses btrfs in anything more than raid0/1

[slim solstice]

It can go in a rack tho

[devout ridge]

you can fit about 4 in a 1u with some 3d printed brackets

[edgy laurel]

with that logic anything can go in a rack

[devout ridge]

not my image

[devout ridge]

that is to some extent the point of a rack

[slim solstice]

I like the color coded boards

Is that a jbod
