[edgy laurel]

share your github

[rugged sail]

i used wxwidgets to build the frontend so thats why its so minimalistic

[low sorrel]

man cyberpunk 2077 looks so good

[rugged sail]

I put it through a stress test by uploading and downloading the 55GB Assassin's Creed .iso file, and it worked perfectly.

It divides the large file into small fragments and then uploads them individually to Telegram, 4 MB each. Then, to download it, it temporarily downloads each fragment and reassembles them into the final file that the user receives.

[rugged sail]

right thats why i need some feedback before uploading it to github

not asking you to use it

I'll explain the doubt I have now

The application integrates a file sharing system that allows sharing large files simply by generating an encrypted link containing the necessary information and credentials. The user wishing to download the file simply needs to provide the .link file

However, the information contained in that encrypted .link file cannot be made public because they are private tokens. Therefore, by encrypting them, only the application can download the file; that is the sole purpose

Then the .link is encrypted with the user providing their private key, and the application has a second obfuscated key embedded in the code to make it impossible for anyone to access the user's tokens knowing only the first key

This way, anyone can publicly share .links so that other users can download the files without compromising the security of their credentials

[lucid vault]

I plugged all the wires in the case to the motherboard except these 2

[edgy laurel]

left is a 4-pin PWM for a fan. right isn't clear without more information

where the go depends on where they come from (and more specific than "the case")

[lucid vault]

I think the first one might go here

[rugged sail]

If I make the code public, this layer of security is lost. That's my question: what should I do? What solution do you propose?

[indigo walrus]

Does this comply with Telegram's ToS? 👀

[edgy laurel]

The left is a 4-pin fan plug and that image is of a 4-pin fan header, but without knowing whats on the other end of that cable, we can't tell you to plug it in there.

[lucid vault]

The one on the right seems to be a pigtail like the other guy said earlier

[edgy laurel]

the connector alone doesn't tell the whole story, there is necessary context

[lucid vault]

The other end of the 4 pin are the case fans

[edgy laurel]

and these fans are presumably daisy chained together?

[lucid vault]

Yup

[rugged sail]

Clearly yes, only 4 MB files are being uploaded individually

[edgy laurel]

if so then that connector is likely what you'd plug into a motherboard fan header like the one you pictured. If they're just case fans, i'd use another one of the system fan headers though, not the one you pictured

What CPU cooler do you have?

[indigo walrus]

My only feedback is to make sure your app is compliant with the ToS. 😉 And open source it. Unless it's open source, there's no way I could believe your claims about encryption.

[lucid vault]

Assassin x 120 refined SE ARGB

[edgy laurel]

Its fan should be plugged into CPU_FAN in that picture

[rugged sail]

yes it is

[lucid vault]

It’s plugged into this cpu_fan1

[edgy laurel]

ok. plug the case fans in on one of these at the bottom

If what you're saying actually works, sharing retail game ISO's is considered piracy

[quaint osprey]

I’m fairly new to pc would anyone be willing to help me with my ssd now working

[rugged sail]

that's right

[edgy laurel]

If you have a second drive connected to this computer, Windows isn't seeing it. Take a non-cropped screenshot of the third image and also one of Device Manager with Disk Drives expanded

[rugged sail]

So the whole project could be considered morally and politically incorrect? Look, I simply saw a problem and found a solution. My goal is to make the flow of information smoother and less dependent on mandatory paid subscriptions

[pure garnet]

im sure the first thing i'm gonna do on my pc is run a random exe from a guy with the hackerman discord pfp

[edgy laurel]

Win-Shift-S, btw. Taking pictures of the screen is.. yeah don't

[rugged sail]

Maybe I'm not in the anti-system hacker group I thought I was in hahaha

[quaint osprey]

@edgy laurel

also love the name 343

[edgy laurel]

You are most definitely not. Read the discord ToS and the #rules channel

[rugged sail]

Okay, I'm sorry if I offended anyone or broke any rules

[pure garnet]

i'm assuming by now the only reason this exists is to download pirate games off telegram

which doesn't sound very anti system more just abusing a free host

[rugged sail]

I appreciate your sincere patience and support

[edgy laurel]

And they sound like chatgpt

[rugged sail]

thats right

[edgy laurel]

and device manager?

[rugged sail]

but if you look more closely it lets you upload any file literally ANY file with end to end encryption to telegram

[quaint osprey]

just shows one

[rugged sail]

thats the "anti-system" thing about it

[edgy laurel]

Ok then what sort of drive is this. Internal, external, M.2, etc..

[quaint osprey]

m.2

[edgy laurel]

What exact drive, what exact motherboard, and which M.2 slot are you using

[pure garnet]

it's either installed wrong or the lanes are allocated to something else for that slot

[merry stirrup]

i am not launching any exe from a random discord user

[quaint osprey]

i have the samsung 9100 pro nvme ssd and the msi pro b650s wifi motherboard

[pure garnet]

yeah you only flash bioses from em

[merry stirrup]

this is true

[pure garnet]

floppa i got 4k monitor coming

[merry stirrup]

im in your bios kyoko

[quaint osprey]

i’m using the second slot

[edgy laurel]

The 9100 is your boot drive, thats working. What is the drive that isn't showing up

[merry stirrup]

ooooh

[quaint osprey]

i have another 9100

[edgy laurel]

Oh

[pure garnet]

it has dual mode for 1080p 320 too

[merry stirrup]

oh fire

[hoary hatch]

Bros got 18200

[merry stirrup]

still doesnt quite beat my refresh somehow

[hoary hatch]

Is it 4K UW?

[rugged sail]

haha yeah thats wise

[hoary hatch]

<@&750150305383186585> I'm too sus of these files

[rugged sail]

okay Ill leave it here, it was a pleassure talking with you today

[pure garnet]

no just 27” 16:9

[merry stirrup]

27 4k? why no 32?

[pure garnet]

i was looking at some amazon one on bapcs and mike rec'd this one

[merry stirrup]

ah okay

[hoary hatch]

2160p240, 1080p320?

[pure garnet]

no 160

it's ips not oled, oled later™

[edgy laurel]

There shouldn't be any reason why one isn't working. Are they both detected in the BIOS? What happens if you swap their locations?

[merry stirrup]

whats with these weird refresh rates

[hoary hatch]

Oh kek that math makes more sense

[hoary hatch]

LCD

[pure garnet]

just how it's binned

[shell void]

xg32ucwmg is the only good woled monitor rn and i dont think kyoko wants to pay $1100

[merry stirrup]

what does that have to do with anything (srs)

[pure garnet]

i did not have $1100 for a monitor rn

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZWJG5GZ i got this one new idk why it links to used

[edgy laurel]

you don't need one thats $1100

[hoary hatch]

Are there any 240hz 4k LCDs?

[pure garnet]

i've spent like 1300 bucks in 3 months on computer shit so

[edgy laurel]

yes

[hoary hatch]

TIL

[pure garnet]

i'm gonna be closing my eyes on oled for awhile longer

[merry stirrup]

im more wondering why its not 144 or similar

a 160hz monitor is like seeing a ddr4-3466 kit

[shell void]

lg 27g850a is the most notable one

[pure garnet]

is that an hdmi 2.1 limit maybe

[merry stirrup]

isnt dsc like goated

[pure garnet]

idk

it has dp 1.4 as well

[merry stirrup]

interesting

[hoary hatch]

Anyways I went to the remnant of a better society today

[merry stirrup]

what makes oleds capable of higher refresh rate?

[shell void]

i imagine 160/165/180 etc are from overclocking the display controllers

[edgy laurel]

pink chrome wheels

[pure garnet]

they make a 32 inch model of the one i got but it's literally double the price

[hoary hatch]

I meant the blockbuster

[shell void]

nothing, there's no reason you couldnt put a 4k360hz controller on an ips panel

[quaint osprey]

i’ll check bios

[pure garnet]

michael do u wanna play valorant or are you done for the night

[shell void]

it's just nice on oled because you dont have to worry about overdrive tuning

perfect transitions always

[hoary hatch]

OMG it's a ford

[merry stirrup]

hm okay

[shell void]

FORD MF RANGER

[edgy laurel]

bro thats an explorer

[merry stirrup]

the way navy worded it made it seem like there was perhaps a reason oleds clock higher

[quaint osprey]

@edgy laurel

[pure garnet]

i've never seen an oled below 240hz

[hoary hatch]

Oh my that is a choice

[merry stirrup]

wat

[shell void]

there are some 4k165 oled monitors

[merry stirrup]

120hz and 144hz tvs all the time

[pure garnet]

like a desktop monitor at least

[shell void]

they’re just budget cope controllers

[pure garnet]

don't be timmy technical my fault gang

but like all the relevant ones i've seen are either 4k240 or 1440p240/360

[merry stirrup]

yeah mines 1440 360

[pure garnet]

1440p oled would just be me whining about the text 24/7

[edgy laurel]

well thats odd

[merry stirrup]

whats the problem?

[pure garnet]

i'm mostly excited to finally have a panel that my macbook tolerates

[hoary hatch]

It's so bad

[merry stirrup]

see if diskpart can deal with it

[edgy laurel]

sick floppa takes over

[merry stirrup]

so long as the user doesnt have anything important*

[merry stirrup]

no no no

a sick floppa suggests

[pure garnet]

sick floppa

[merry stirrup]

no tech support on sick days

[edgy laurel]

both in BIOS but..

[merry stirrup]

reseat? idk

[edgy laurel]

i'm willin to be diskpart won't see the second either

[hoary hatch]

Swap slots

[merry stirrup]

yeah not if its not seen at all

[pure garnet]

it's showing in the bios

[edgy laurel]

ya, i suggested swapping their slots

but if they're both showing in the BIOS..

[hoary hatch]

Oh did they do that already

[quaint osprey]

i already reseated it

[pure garnet]

do you have samsung magician installed

[quaint osprey]

yes i do

[edgy laurel]

I'd swap them anyway, maybe the other one is dead in another way

[pure garnet]

if not download that and see if it somehow finds both

[merry stirrup]

idk what would cause a drive to present in bios but not in windows other than drivers, but, ones already working

[edgy laurel]

its a real head scratcher. I'd still swap the M.2 slots, they're both direct CPU slots

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

what else can you really do

[merry stirrup]

maybe doa slot or somethin

[hoary hatch]

Or bad socket pins?

[edgy laurel]

drive could be dead in a way that still presents itself to the BIOS but not windows? I dunno

[hoary hatch]

Oh wait shit

[merry stirrup]

a floppa would think that both wouldnt be showing up

[hoary hatch]

It's in bios

Oh this is funky

[merry stirrup]

yeah it could just be dead but the controller? idk

[edgy laurel]

still wanna swap them for piece of mind and troubleshooting even if it doesn't make sense

[merry stirrup]

yeah

[hoary hatch]

So this is a windows moment?

[merry stirrup]

i think ive had this happen before but it was a sata drive that had reached its tbw

[edgy laurel]

both CPU slots

[hoary hatch]

Oh Intel had a real fucking Intel moment on Wednesday
They broke the ultra pure water system in the fab

[merry stirrup]

what does this entail

[merry stirrup]

is this a new drive or last ran when parked

[quaint osprey]

so i should swap my ssds what if my OS is on the main ssd and i move it to the other slot?

[edgy laurel]

it won't matter

[merry stirrup]

youll know quickly if its the slot that doesnt work lol

[edgy laurel]

that too

[merry stirrup]

wont hurt anything but your pc wouldnt make it to windows

[edgy laurel]

are these drives both brand new?

@quaint osprey

[quaint osprey]

like a month or two old

[edgy laurel]

but bought together?

[merry stirrup]

they were previously working together?

[quaint osprey]

yes bought together

yes

[edgy laurel]

oh

[merry stirrup]

peculiar

[edgy laurel]

so, run Samsung Magician

[merry stirrup]

do these drives have firmware issues?

[edgy laurel]

check if it A, sees both and if it does, B, has a firmware update available

[quaint osprey]

bro what

[edgy laurel]

dun dun dun

[merry stirrup]

kyoko the secret goat for suggesting this 5 minutes ago

[edgy laurel]

click update at the bottom

[edgy laurel]

welp

back to swapping them lol

can you run a diagnosis on them in Magician?

[quaint osprey]

welp ig i swap them back at yah in a minute

[pure garnet]

open crystal disk info before taking the pc apart

i don't think the connection or the slot is the issue

[quaint osprey]

i’ll run a. diagnostic scan real quick

[pure garnet]

i think windows just threw a random driver over one of the drives

[edgy laurel]

determine at the top which is which, then run Diagnostic Scan

[pure garnet]

the first one is the os drive

[merry stirrup]

samsung magician doesnt support oem drives right? let me see

[pure garnet]

it should open at least

[edgy laurel]

how do you know (i'm looking at my magician right now)

[pure garnet]

temp but also it says c local disk in the pic

[edgy laurel]

Oh, C:

[pure garnet]

the one that's hotter is probably the one in use

[edgy laurel]

you know what

[pure garnet]

send details tab of the drive

[edgy laurel]

^

drive details on the left

[edgy laurel]

why does that say Gen5

[pure garnet]

9100 pro is gen 5

[edgy laurel]

sure but the board isn't

[pure garnet]

okay open diskpart

i think the drive is just offline

[edgy laurel]

diskpart
listdisk

[quaint osprey]

the board isn’t but my tech guy made it so that the board thinks my gen 5 ssds are gen for so they run at half the speed

[edgy laurel]

if that shows both thats wild

your tech guy did what

[pure garnet]

i will never get over the sizeof magician by default

why is it so big

[quaint osprey]

okay wtf

[edgy laurel]

Uh, so that just showed up?

[pure garnet]

i think your problem might be whatever your tech guy did then

[quaint osprey]

yes

[edgy laurel]

it is huge

[pure garnet]

what board was it i wasn't reading chat

[edgy laurel]

its like its got scaling on in the app

[heavy spire]

The infamous tech guy at it again

[quaint osprey]

that was how he got them working in the first place and i had no issue before

[pure garnet]

some b650 boards have broken but not disabled gen 5 support

[edgy laurel]

MSI PRO B650-S WIFI

[quaint osprey]

only started happening like a few days or ago or three

[pure garnet]

yeah i would force gen 4 just in case

[edgy laurel]

https://download-2.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/PROB650-SWIFI.pdf

[pure garnet]

it does but the auto is just insane

[lucid vault]

Alright for some reason this feels like ima get yelled at or smth, but I mounted the gpu and wanna hear you guys’s thougts I guess

[edgy laurel]

commically large even at 4K 100%

[pure garnet]

what scaling do you use

[edgy laurel]

100%

[quaint osprey]

okay now it shows up here bro i swear if that happens again later

[pure garnet]

oh actually 4k 125% looks kinda good

i may use that instead of 150%

[edgy laurel]

27" yeah 100% ain't gonna work

but at 42" its perfect

(for me)

[pure garnet]

i have a 43 inch tv i could try

[edgy laurel]

We'd all like to know what your "tech guy" did

shouldn't of had to do anything at all to use those drives

[lucid vault]

Guys I think I did everything

[frank zealot]

Ram is in the wrong slots it looks like

You have 4 slots, right

[lucid vault]

Those are the ram slots

2

[pure garnet]

2 dimm slot board gang

[edgy laurel]

ya, 2dimmer

[lucid vault]

Here’s a pic from earlier

[edgy laurel]

see what i mean about the weird angles lol

[frank zealot]

Whelp, then that's right lol

[pure garnet]

low end boards and high end boards having the same feature except ones for cost savings

[edgy laurel]

I've been here long enough I know it when I see it!

[lucid vault]

I have rotated!

[edgy laurel]

in the realm of lightweight sports cars its the same. for the fast ones you pay more for less

[edgy laurel]

still not the right way up but i'm just messing with you. i just see it a lot

[pure garnet]

okay i have to ask, what did you install at this angle to even take this photo

[lucid vault]

Just the cpu

[pure garnet]

why

[lucid vault]

why not, I did it correctly

[pure garnet]

i mean if it works but

bro doing tricks with it

[lucid vault]

It’s my first time building, I’m not gonna get everything perfect

[edgy laurel]

is that a heatsink/cover for an M.2 wifi chip? thats new to me

wait, it has wifi antenna connectors on the rear i/o, where are the antenna cables

[pure garnet]

that seems like the most asrock thing ever

[pure garnet]

they’re in your render they just blended in

[edgy laurel]

yeah I see them at the top just not at the bottom near the card

[pure garnet]

zoom in

they’re there but small

[edgy laurel]

oh, i see

[lucid vault]

Yeah I was gonna send this

[quaint osprey]

he did something in bios to make my motherboard think that my gen 5 ssds are gen 4 cause that’s what my motherboard supports

[edgy laurel]

that was completely unnecessary. by default the board knows what PCIe gen the installed drive is and just runs at that speed.

[lucid vault]

I’m lwk scared to boot it up but let me get my monitor and keyboard ready

[pure garnet]

can you open magician again and go the details tab then let the mouse sit on the blue text

i think the last part of the line would say gen 4 but i just wanna make sure

[edgy laurel]

i mean, realistically the only thing he could have done is force Gen4 or lower instead of auto

[pure garnet]

okay samsung is just lying

[quaint osprey]

see they are running at half the speed

[pure garnet]

yeah nothing is wrong on that front the reporting thing is just

not accurate at all

[quaint osprey]

here’s what tech guy said

[edgy laurel]

didn't need to be switched off of auto

but switching it to Gen4 also shoudln't cause an issue

[quaint osprey]

so should i switch it back? what if something happens

yo could i add yall in case i have any more tech issues

[lucid vault]

I have power, no display yet

[edgy laurel]

for your monitor

[lucid vault]

It is, the monitor says, no hdmi1 signal for your device

[edgy laurel]

the classic problem seemingly every new builder faces

[pure garnet]

idk if that board has any debug leds or anything but

initial am5 boots can take up to 5 min

[edgy laurel]

that board does

we can see at least 3 of them in that pic

and the 4th if lit would probably be evident

no diag lights at all is weird, unless its booted and its just a display issue

something stupid like monitor on wrong input

[pallid marsh]

Would be funny if it's a bad cable

[lucid vault]

GUYS

[edgy laurel]

nice

[pure garnet]

another asrock uefi skin for the collection

[lucid vault]

Just had to unplug and replug the power supply

[edgy laurel]

lol i was just going to say, even that is better than the OCF

[lucid vault]

lowkey cool tho

[pure garnet]

bro mines banana yellow

[lucid vault]

2010 type ui

[edgy laurel]

damn

[pure garnet]

i don’t disagree

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/déjàvu-drift-anime-initial-d-car-gif-17211916

[pure garnet]

if asrock spent less time changing colors and background images we could have a sleek uefi like msis by now

[edgy laurel]

i'm jealous of that MSI bios

[pure garnet]

live mixer takes the cake for worst award to me

[edgy laurel]

dear lord

again, same thing but that wallpaper

[pure garnet]

the sonic wallpaper

[wraith steeple]

Let's just bring back Award BIOS

[edgy laurel]

naa

[wraith steeple]

D'ahhh

[pure garnet]

the silkscreen sonic is kinda cool at least

[wraith steeple]

though man what a WS this is... Game 7 going into the 10th

[edgy laurel]

dammit both ezmode

[indigo walrus]

I would love if we went back to ONE style of BIOS screen UI/UX design. Far easier to manage than every company having their own "special" implementation of the same settings, some buried in places I'd never think to look.

[pure garnet]

monkeys paw, it's mandated asrock

[edgy laurel]

oh god there is a white mode version

dont wanna be using that in the dark

[pure garnet]

yeah 90% of the people that go through the bios are cave dwellers

that has to be a flashbang to open

[edgy laurel]

they do have too many menus that are impossibly deep

[wraith steeple]

It at least tells you what's actually wrong instead of modern AMI be like "IDK azizi/azizti..... We can't tell you, exactly per say "

[edgy laurel]

without search, sometimes I can't find things I've been to before

fully disabling my iGPU is like 5 or 6 menus deep

[lucid vault]

Pffft

it’s chill if I turn it off and go to bed (I did the bios stuff) and install windows tmr right

[pure garnet]

yeah

[lucid vault]

Ty goat

[quaint osprey]

how the hell do i change my bios skin? is that even bios

[edgy laurel]

if thats even an option, and i've not seen it, it would be in there somewhere

[pure garnet]

it's based off the board you buy

like with asus the basic boards are blue and the strix is red

[quaint osprey]

i got the msi b650s pro wifi one

it lowkey looks ass

[low sorrel]

did msi go from click bios 5 to 10???

[lucid vault]

Yo this one is cool af

[low sorrel]

eh

[lucid vault]

I like space so I’m biosed

[wraith steeple]

[low sorrel]

ok boomer

[crimson widget]

Imagine a search bar

Maybe in 50 years we will get that

[indigo walrus]

A search bar is a good idea... if only all manufacturers would call the same settings the same thing across all models of motherboards. Otherwise it'll be like HDMI CEC all over again.

🤢 🤮

[crimson widget]

There has to be the great conference of 20 ancient programmers from the biggest companies on earth for this to happen

Some things are so easy but like

[wraith steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/listen-here-you-little-meme-you-little-shit-damn-you-damn-it-chicken-kiev-gif-25718782

/j

[crimson widget]

I guess we reached that point with industrialization that its very hard for some things to change

Since you would need a lot of people to come together for something basic to be changed

I guess you could have some company implement it in their own bios

But getting every company to do it would be difficult

[indigo walrus]

https://xkcd.com/927

xkcd: Standards

Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we've all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit.

[crimson widget]

Yep

I'm actually thinking about it

Its quite interesting, a simple search bar

Then I imagine the amount of people that it has to go through

Its probably +1000 people I would assume 🤔

I think that would be fair

[wraith steeple]

Oh usb...... Don't get me started on how ungodly convoluted and shit their naming schemes are

[crimson widget]

Unless there is like a few engineers who would be doing this then somehow all companies will just use the new version

[brisk eagle]

Standardized on mini or micro usb
How old is this

[indigo walrus]

old

[pure garnet]

the picture is probably from before the caption even

[slim solstice]

Wikipedia with dark mode enabled(beta)

[slim solstice]

The nitendo guys made a new connector. Instead of microb it's microc

For the devkit

[brisk jolt]

we could go all day slandering these corps and whatever bullshit they implemented

[little sequoia]

lets just say the current xkcd link is https://xkcd.com/3162/ lol

xkcd: Heart Mountain

Even geology papers about Heart Mountain are like, "Look, we all agree this 'volcanic gas earthquake hovercraft' thing seems like it can't possibly be right, but..."

[celest sapphire]

@pure garnet hi i want ask

[pure grail]

nah

[celest sapphire]

So i have 10TB hdd, and 2TB 990 pro samsung, 1 TB KINGSTONE

Which one I should, idk how to say it in English, put in my pc first?

[indigo walrus]

The 2TB Samsung 990 Pro, since that's the drive I would recommend using as your OS drive. Put in computer first, install Windows, get logged in to at least the Desktop, then put the other 2 drives into the computer.

[celest sapphire]

So 2TB will be the main card?

If I download game should I download on it?

Or on 1TB?

[indigo walrus]

I'ma be honest... don't trust that "KINGSTONE" drive with any data you can't easily re-create. (Though... this applies to all storage drives. Backup your important data.) It's just that no-name brand drives like the KINGSTONE are more prone to issues than quality drives.

[little sequoia]

wait is it supposed to sound similar to kingston lol

[celest sapphire]

It is

[indigo walrus]

Where you put your games is entirely up to you. I like to install frequently played games on my main M.2 NVMe SSD (same as my OS drive), and less frequently played games on my SATA SSD's or even my storage HDD's.

[little sequoia]

mom can we get an ssd pls
mom: we have ssd at home

[celest sapphire]

I don't remember the name

Kingston

It is kingston

Not stone

[zenith fog]

💀

[celest sapphire]

I often play Online game, combat online, battle game

[merry stirrup]

600$ and a kiss behind the local dennys sure

[green marsh]

how about a dude looking at you

[zenith fog]

Probably worth maybe 250 lol

[lethal topaz]

wait till he realizes it was worth 600 5 years ago

[zenith fog]

Right

Should I offer him 200

[lethal topaz]

thats generous

thats probably an i5 8400

[celest sapphire]

All I can do is half shawarma and coke from 2016

[lethal topaz]

dont tell me thats an optane drive too

[celest sapphire]

Serious I'm taking a risk

[zenith fog]

He immediately said no

[celest sapphire]

Go for 100$

[lethal topaz]

i literally got a pc exactly like that at a thrift store

[celest sapphire]

Crazy

[lethal topaz]

and parts of it are now in my media server (gpu only)

1060 is suprisingly capable at video encoding

[zenith fog]

Can’t make this up lmao

[lethal topaz]

i mean its possible it will sell but he does say need it gone asap

[green marsh]

say goodbye and move on. Possibly watch the listing as he slowly drops the price

[celest sapphire]

I mean he can

[green marsh]

he needs it asap for the ebike. But he won't sell it for enough to get the ebike

[celest sapphire]

If he fake it

[zenith fog]

Exactly

[celest sapphire]

Or he can sell it

But not for 600

[zenith fog]

To someone who doesn’t know anything about computers maybe

[lethal topaz]

that is unfortunately a LOT of people

[celest sapphire]

[lethal topaz]

this pc is some 12 year olds christmas gift 💔

[zenith fog]

Unfortunately

[celest sapphire]

I bet he can only make 100-300

[zenith fog]

I had struggled to sell a 5800x 3070 pc for 600 a while back

[celest sapphire]

I wish I lucky enough to buy a $1500 pc with only $100

[lethal topaz]

rage bait posting on market place must be a hell of a drug

[celest sapphire]

[green marsh]

that is my issue with my parts. I just don't want to sell stuff for as little as people offer in my region. That is why i still have 2950x threadripper around, or 3900x+1080 Ti+x570 system around

[zenith fog]

Funny thing is I bought it for 100 because the guy couldn’t get it to post

[lethal topaz]

"1200 OBO i know what i got"

[celest sapphire]

In the post is i5

[zenith fog]

He had the drive configured wrong and gave up and listed it for sale

[celest sapphire]

Your is i7

[merry stirrup]

yes. like that is the point of the post.

🙄

[zenith fog]

Made an easy 500 lol

few years ago i got 2500K + ASRock Fatal1ty P67 Professional for 50 euros because the seller said "does not support newer Windows 10 versions than 1907" (i think that was the version.

Got it, fixed the booting to Windows 10 issue. What was the problem ? The guy was using the launch BIOS 😄

[merry stirrup]

lol

[green marsh]

a BIOS which is not even listed on website anymore

he had version 1.60

or a Z87 board for 10 euros because "it was restarting randomly"

it never did it to me, so my guess is he had either a bad memory module or an USB device which was shorting the system

[merry stirrup]

or shit cooling solution

[zenith fog]

Guy had the drive in legacy instead of uefi mode iirc

So it wasn’t showing up in the bios as a bootable drive

[green marsh]

someone is selling an SF600 for 25 euros in my city. Wondering what is wrong with it 😄

also someone pulled out an "unused" Phantom 410 and trying to sell it for 60 euros

[merry stirrup]

lmfao

[green marsh]

not as weird as the last guy who was selling an unused Gigabyte X99 board

"i totally forgot i bought this once" 😄

another selling a 3060 12GB for 200 euros... "Never opened"

🤷‍♂️

[zenith fog]

It’s crazy 3070’s are going for 250 now

[green marsh]

i mean i get if you have an unused hard drive in company setting - you buy a stack of hard drives, keep few as cold spare and you never use them. But GPU, motherboard or case ? Nah, that is weird

[zenith fog]

I remember buying one for 500 a few years ago

[green marsh]

to be fair, 3060 12GB had a price go up due the LLM craze

it is semi-competent GPU with usable amount of VRAM for smaller projects

[lethal topaz]

i bought a 3080ti for 600$ in 2023

still my current gpu

[vocal plume]

I too bought a 3080ti for 500 bucks a few years ago

Love the card

[lethal topaz]

i read this like wilson from doctor house

[pure grail]

haters complain th has the same vram as 3060

[fluid heron]

is there a way to control the chipset fan on X570 motherboards? when I turn on my PC, it runs nice and quietly, with an the chipset fan having an rpm of around 2k, and then after running for a little while, it ramps up and gets loud, resulting in a noisy, high-pitched sound even though it isnt overheating

exact model is crosshair viii hero

[livid flame]

Probably in your bios

[topaz veldt]

yeah you can set a curve in bios or control via fancontrol

[fluid heron]

fancontrol has no control for the chipset fan. I also dont remember a setting for it in the bios

[edgy laurel]

Depends on the board. I've never seen my chipset fan exposed in my BIOS or HWiNFO

but i've also never heard/been bothered by it so it doesn't much matter

[clear pasture]

is there any problems with my fps or temperature when running minecraft with shaders

fps counter on bottom left

[livid flame]

That’s fine

It’s cooler than mine by about 3c

[edgy laurel]

I don't understand the question. You tell us.

[clear pasture]

is the temp good

is the fps good for a laptop 4060

[edgy laurel]

81c on a modern GPU? No

Oh its a laptop? then sure, i guess

[clear pasture]

96 procent usage

[livid flame]

On a laptop? Below 100c is a mighty fine temperature

[jaunty horizon]

itd be worrying if it was 90> but its completely normal

[edgy laurel]

Thats horrible for any desktop GPU. I see nearly 400W and rarely break 65C on a 4090

[clear pasture]

my lil brother has a hand me down laptop

radeon rx 450 keeping you big as hell

90 degrees c when playing roblox

[livid flame]

Try rdna3. That’s a standard average temperature. 80-85c

[clear pasture]

im also on the balanced battery profile

[livid flame]

Standard delta of 20-25c too for rdna3 (and 2)

[clear pasture]

the best preformance makes fans go brr brr 24/7 when on

even while idle

[edgy laurel]

gaming laptops are all sort of garbage in one way or another

[clear pasture]

wanna hear a strange thing abt my laptop?

it has 24 gigs of ram 2x 12g sticks

[livid flame]

5090 laptop which should really be called “an almost 5080 gpu” by desktop standards

The naming schemes are fucked tbh

[edgy laurel]

RTX 3000 series for example begins throttling at or around 83c.

[livid flame]

Should be one for laptops and one for desktops

[edgy laurel]

so whatever temps you're getting are fine as long as clocks aren't suffering

[clear pasture]

also is this too much temp for a battery

[edgy laurel]

and your ears can take the noise

[clear pasture]

eh my ears arent irratated

[edgy laurel]

presumably whatever graph that is is in the yellow/50% mark

[livid flame]

32c is fine for a battery

[clear pasture]

my parents are irrataded

[livid flame]

IIRC anything over 50c is when you need to worry for a batter on a laptop

And 60c+ is the danger zone

[clear pasture]

hi everyone it would be of great help if someone could tell me what to do.

so im trying to transfer all my content onto a new fresh iphone from an android but my android lcd screen is broken. what is the best way to transfer?

[jaunty horizon]

connect the phone to a monitor using usb c or something that can do the same thing

and transfer it

smart switch if its samsung

[carmine basin]

ok thank you!!

[lucid vault]

I googled some of them and that one’s silly

[vestal sky]

Hi all I’m going to be buying one of these, a m.2 to mini SAS… are they simply just plug and play? If I put it into my m.2 slot

[edgy laurel]

Yep. Assuming its a modern board the M.2 slot is just a PCIe slot in a different form factor

[brisk jolt]

5071*

[green marsh]

99% that is ASM1166 or JMicron SATA controller there

[vestal sky]

And this means?

[green marsh]

that it is literally same as SATA connectors on your motherboard. only difference is that this one uses an SFF-8087 to 4x SATA breakout cable instead of 4x SATA cable

[vestal sky]

And if it’s not will I have to get a pcie to m.2?

[vestal sky]

I see

[green marsh]

i say it is literally just this, but on M.2 connector form factor (and just one instead of two)

actually like this 😄

from the connector it is PCIe, to which you have an ASM1066 chip connected, which then is a 6-port SATA controller. And instead of doing 4x SATA connector, it uses SFF-8087 connector to save space

or to say in other ways, it is pretty much this, just using different connector on M.2 side to save space

(well, minus 2 SATA connectors, because SFF-8077 can only do 4)

it shows right there you're in the yellow range you're fine

My 1 year old oled monitor got a dead pixel is it fixable? 🙁

[pure garnet]

<@&750150305383186585> scam

[livid flame]

You can try and push it out. It’s red though brah. I don’t think that’s gonna work its way out

If it’s only 1 year may still be in warranty depending on where you live

[wise bear]

we pinged them at the same time in 2 diff channels

mods are probably like "WHY ITS SO EARLY GO AWAY"

[sacred forge]

feels like oled panels are bad. I'm very careful with it and its the 3rd monitor I return...

[wise bear]

oled is not bad lmao

[sacred forge]

Its my third monitor with the same issue

[wise bear]

so stop buying oled gaming monitors and get an oled tv that has vrr and allm

[sacred forge]

...

[wise bear]

I think it was @edgy laurel that said that oled gaming displays get less QA than oled tvs because of a more niche market

Or something to that extent

[edgy laurel]

i certainly feel like they suck more often

[sacred forge]

first I tried aoc oled, then asus, now samsung. so annoying

[edgy laurel]

(than tv's, but all anecdotal)

[wise bear]

doesn't aoc work with like, b-grade panels

I don't ever think I've seen them have a "premium" product

[edgy laurel]

if its a QD-OLED, then its Samsung Display

the asus could have also had a Samsung Display QD-OLED depending on the model

and obviously the Samsung does too

[wise bear]

thank you display man

[edgy laurel]

thats michael

he keeps so much shit in his head

[sacred forge]

the monitor i have now is Odyssey OLED G6 G60SD

[edgy laurel]

but all three of those monitors could have been the same panel

depending on the model and res/refresh

[wise bear]

wasn't there something about samsung's latest gaming monitors that had issues

or like, a group of their models

[sacred forge]

its 1440p 360hz

[edgy laurel]

other than just being scamsung I can't think of anything specific

I'd never consider them, ever

[wise bear]

I bought a vizio over a samsung and it was the best $400 I've ever spent

I love my tv

[pure garnet]

get 4k oled so you have enough pixels to not notice one down fr

[steel stream]

scamsung mentioned

i have been summoned

[pure garnet]

brother akn knows when the scam is afoot

s90d having worse hdr than my $170 tcl

[steel stream]

S90D 77" had pretty widespread PSU issues, so a Samsung product/display not being properly QA'd does not surprise me

[pure garnet]

is it low res monitor clearance day or something

[steel stream]

getting rid of all the poor people monitors

[pure garnet]

tuesday cannot come soon enough

i will be rid of the low res primary monitor

[steel stream]

oh what did you get?

[pure garnet]

just ips for now

xg27ucg

then when i have 32" woled money i will kick it to the side and have dual 4k

[steel stream]

hell yeah

[pure garnet]

i hate monitor names but i was close

[steel stream]

that's a ROG one right

[pure garnet]

yeah

[rich idol]

I'm currently trying to read the AM5 CPU pin map, the black squares marked as "VSS" are ground, correct?

[steel stream]

is it miniled or just standard backlight IPS

[pure garnet]

regular

my side monitors psu? or control board is going out

so i'm mostly upgrading just to replace that

it won't wake from suspend reliably anymore but it's also 6 years old

are coolermaster monitors any good?

[pure garnet]

i feel like you can probably get something better for not much more

[edgy laurel]

ya

[pure garnet]

since that's a 3 year old panel

[edgy laurel]

thats a old display, too

[pure garnet]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FKNFHZH9?th=1 idk if this in europe but double the zones and refresh for about the same price

[edgy laurel]

shame you can't link to it pre-filtered but https://www.displayninja.com/mini-led-monitor-list/

[rich idol]

It's the only IPS Mini-LED panel my local retailers carry that isn't a brand i've never heard of or an in-house brand with mixed reviews

if i order from amazon i can risk having to pay 80% of the total order's value in additional import fees

[edgy laurel]

yeah don't do that

[pure garnet]

is there a reason you want miniled specifically

[rich idol]

From what i could tell it would be the best choice for mixed gaming, photo editing and video editing that isn't oled

the only other IPS Mini-LED display i could find at my local retailers was some "xiaomi g pro 72i"

[pure garnet]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/xiaomi/g-pro-27i i mean

that's a good score i'd get that over the coolmaster

double the zones as well

[uncut spear]

does it have hdmi

[rich idol]

also half the price of the cooler master, which is why i was hesitant, when something is cheaper than i think it should be i tend to not fully trust it

[pure garnet]

xiaomi is not an unknown brand

[rich idol]

i'd never heard of it

[uncut spear]

they are only available in north korea

[rich idol]

then why does one of my local retailers carry it, lol

[pure garnet]

genuinely just a skill issue

[uncut spear]

they added the stock to capitalize on the western market

[uncut spear]

only 27 dollars

that's a steal

where do I buy this monitor

[edgy laurel]

yes, but won't do max refresh over it. DP only, the HDMI is a joke input

[uncut spear]

ohh okay thank you

but I don't know if my graphics card has displayport

cuz it's a a bit old

[rich idol]

My local retailers have the Xiaomi for 380 dollars, while the cooler master is almost 800 dollars

[edgy laurel]

what graphics card made in the last decade doesn't have DisplayPort

[pure garnet]

the cooler master is not worth 800 dollars

[uncut spear]

gtx 680

[pure garnet]

you're barely running the windows desktop with that thing

go buy a gpu before a monitor dawg

[uncut spear]

don't worry it runs very smooth

[edgy laurel]

thats 13 years old, you don't need a new monitor. You need a new GPU

[pure garnet]

and it also has a displayport port

[rare prawn]

And wost today all family care about is movie night at church lol it a DVD on a big screen look terrible and dad doesn't care how to respond this it looks terrible adn then say i am on my own for dinner

[rich idol]

I got a rtx fiddy seventi tai

[uncut spear]

that's the one I got

[rich idol]

it has a display port right there

[uncut spear]

Which one

[edgy laurel]

But its only DP 1.2, still can't run the display at max refresh

[rare prawn]

What about my question

[rich idol]

the bottom left port

[uncut spear]

Do you have to do a firmware update or what's up

[rich idol]

next to the hdmi

[uncut spear]

buy blu ray

[edgy laurel]

[slim pebble]

I will probably pick up a 32 inch OLED this coming Black Friday, even if I do burn it up in a few years. I hear it’s worth it.

dang I should really upgrade then

the GPU runs the games I play fine tho

santa claus i need a PG32UCDP under the tree

[rare prawn]

Dad doesn't want ti change church system so it only have a DVD driver in the mac computer say it good enough because he wanr to help homeless more

[edgy laurel]

should have upgraded a long time ago. that card probably can't even boot many modern games. its considered retro

[rich idol]

only reason i got a new GPU is cause my 1080 ti runs the games i play fine, it doesn't run the games i want to play fine

[uncut spear]

i don't really play lots of modern games

i only play half life 2 and cs source

and video rendering

[pure garnet]

only reason i got a new gpu is because i'd have been dumb to not buy michaels

[slim pebble]

That wasn’t dumb, it’s a nice card

[pure garnet]

yeah im saying it would've been dumb not to have gotten it

my 4070 was fine for what i do with my computer

god damn that is one inefficient card lmao (today)

something about power idk

[rich idol]

This one will be fine then?

[pure garnet]

i mean yeah i linked an in-depth review that mostly praised it

[rich idol]

fair

[civic reef]

Chose the MSI Maestro 300 as the headset I am buying, USB-C cable w/ a C to A adapter included

Actually focusing on stuff that'll affect my day to day experience instead of just components

[rich idol]

rtings doesn't appear to have a review for the cooler master one, but its 4k brother, but i think the only difference between those two is the refresh rate and resolution

[pure garnet]

at $800 the coolermaster is a nonstarter

it's 3 years old and was like a $400 monitor

[uncut spear]

nah idk about 4k gaming mate

1440p should be enough for everyone

[pure garnet]

save yourself guilty

[edgy laurel]

pain

[civic reef]

Beaten by a PCIe power card

[rich idol]

No i mean i could probably use the review of the 4K cooler master screen to get an idea of what the 1440p cooler master screen is like, as from what i can tell the only difference between the two is that the GP27Q is 1440p at 165Hz while the GP27U is 4K at 160Hz

I honestly wouldn't be caught dead with a 4K screen

[simple niche]

I am looking at installing a Sound Blaster audio card on my system. I am debating between a USB-based unit and a PCIe card. Yes, I do have a desktop AND a gaming laptop.

And my poor USB MP3+ Live is no longer supported.

[pure garnet]

i have the dx3 pro+

[rich idol]

I just got an audio interface that can easily be hooked up to an additional headphone amp if i really need more oomph, but the internal amp of the interface i got should be enough to power most headphones unless they're like 600 ohms or higher

[simple niche]

It will either be the X5 external DAC or the AE-9

[uncut spear]

I feel the aural bliss in the sound blaster in the computer bro

[rich idol]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKfS5zVfGBc

[simple niche]

My only complaint is you cannot output multiple audio streams to different outputs on the same card. I'll still have to use the onboard audio for a conference room PC at work, but that's ok. Call audio is usually compressed.

[edgy laurel]

The X5 is actually a pretty good product https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/creative-sound-blaster-x5-interface-review.46857/

[uncut spear]

https://www.bandicam.com/

[simple niche]

And I could take the X5 with me on the road to use with my Aorus XE-5 laptop.

[edgy laurel]

It does a lot, not just a DAC

its just huge

[uncut spear]

mine lets me do it

[devout ridge]

so a DAC+AMP combo

[uncut spear]

but it's integrated into the motherboard so mileage may vary

[pure garnet]

why would you ever want to carry that around with a laptop

[simple niche]

I can switch between streams, but the AE-7 will not let me simultaneously use the Speaker and Digital Audio outputs.

[uncut spear]

that's actually the coolest twitch point reward ever

[simple niche]

And the MP3+ Live still works with my college Dell Inspiron 17R.

[uncut spear]

why not get an audio interface with great dacs

[edgy laurel]

keep in mind you keep saying DAC but most of the things you're lilsting are multi-function devices, not just DAC's

[simple niche]

That's why the new PC I built for the conference room has the AE-7 in it.

[edgy laurel]

That X5 is a DAC, headphone amp, speaker pre-amp, DSP and more

[simple niche]

Eventually, I'll be using a Thunderbolt audio interface to run multiple audio channels and pass video to the media system.

[uncut spear]

the ae-7 is really good

oh yeah

you gotta put the DVD in the DVD slot

It a regular dvd

[uncut spear]

check the back

if you apply toothpaste to it upgrades it to 4k

[rare prawn]

Dad believe to keep bringing it up till this country is back yo way it suppose to be

[simple niche]

Yes, a regular DVD. If you write a DATA file to it instead of a MPEG2 video stream you can get up to 2 hours of 1080P video encoded by H264.

[uncut spear]

whatt you can do h.264 on a DVD

wow I learned something new today

[simple niche]

If you write it as a data DVD

[uncut spear]

Do you need to have like a special burner?

[simple niche]

Many DVD players are capable of decoding H264 files.

[rare prawn]

How many time do i have to say it a regular DVD that you get with move om it in store

[uncut spear]

what movie are you watching

[wraith steeple]

Are we really going down the "old better, new bad" road?

[uncut spear]

I don't think Matt is using tylenol. I think he is using alcohol.

[rare prawn]

Yes

[uncut spear]

maybe some of that vodka spilled on the dvd

I wouldn't mind having a VRAM-modded GTX 780 for my XP Gaming PC.

[uncut spear]

3gb of vram is enough

[wraith steeple]

Meh I prefer the VLB stuff

[uncut spear]

and 780??

[simple niche]

Yes. A 780.

[uncut spear]

that's way too overkill for xp

E8400 is super common

@uncut spear Is it funny at how dad doesn't care about poor quality

[simple niche]

I bet your dad keeps input audio levels low and then turns up the amplifier.

[uncut spear]

that's a good way to get some dynamic range

[simple niche]

Gotta raise the noise floor. XD

[uncut spear]

all of the noise floor

in fact let's test it out right now

[simple niche]

Hell, I haven't run a sound board consistently in over 10 years

[rare prawn]

It not dad it thr tech company church hired to run the sound system because they want someone to respond 24/7

Back in the old country in my younger days, Gaming Cafes in Damascus was the closest thing we got to own a rig (this was in the late 90s -early 2000s)

[uncut spear]

front of house got replaced by presets 😢

[uncut spear]

those gaming cafes sure were good

everyday little by little id steal a part from the computer

[uncut spear]

why didn't they hire someone to run the DVD system

[rich idol]

provided i can get it working

[wraith steeple]

Need for Speed was very popular. Also it had a surprisingly large gaming hub during Hafez' last years - Bashar's early years in power. Though keep in mind, it was more or less like how the USSR collapse as with Eastern Block countries were like, computers were very Absurdly expensive and consoles were even more of a rarity so own both was out of the question

[rare prawn]

They cheap dad even day if they stop make DVD movies he just give up

[uncut spear]

gotta pay for the Netflix subscription

use it as a tax write off

[rare prawn]

They don't want to stream it

It might be licensed or reliable when DVD look good enough and then use the change on why this country have problems and also every increase in quality of TV was my purchase Ike the TV sound system amd Blu-ray player lol it be a cheap 720 32 inch vizio TV with DVD combo drive amd vizio sound bar

[uncut spear]

[wraith steeple]

Yes but for back home, it was a combination of the two (especially since we got ours imported from Russia and China)

[uncut kettle]

oke

anybody else can hlep me please?

[uncut spear]

you need to get 100% keyboard for full gaming performance

[devout ridge]

analog soundboard gross

[uncut kettle]

i said i am new to keyboards. not new to computers

[uncut spear]

yeah 100% keyboard

that's my favorite

[uncut kettle]

that thing is too expensive here
most american brands get hit with a 90% import fee

[hard dew]

Get a one handed keyboard

[uncut kettle]

i just wanted to know are there any red flags

[uncut spear]

yes

You won't have the function keys

85% keyboard is the best one

[uncut kettle]

oh jesus

[green marsh]

i mean in 1994 i bought an used 286 for 10000 Slovak korunas. Which would be at the time $306 ? Lot of money for me, meh for most Europeans or Americans

[devout ridge]

100% keyboard are so dumb

70% or tenkeyless are the best

[uncut kettle]

i thought i saw the function keys
i didnt realise they are mixed with number row

i hate those kind of kbs

[uncut spear]

tkl is great as well

[simple niche]

I'm running an older Corsair 100

[lethal topaz]

96% my beloved

[uncut kettle]

I'm using ts

[lethal topaz]

the nipple

[uncut kettle]

i love it

[devout ridge]

way too much keyboard

no one uses the numpad for gaming anyways

[lethal topaz]

my lobster is too buttery!

[uncut kettle]

i just want function keys nothign else
which is the minimum size for that

no need for a numpad

[devout ridge]

More like my lobster is for some reason all over half my damn desk but i only eat half of it

[lethal topaz]

nah i love numpad because i do a lot of calculations and spreadsheets outside of gaming

[uncut kettle]

hmm thats definitely faster

[lethal topaz]

numpad also much nicer for pc pin

but 96% is best of both worlds cause its barely bigger than tkl

[devout ridge]

how often do you type in your pc pin where you need a whole ass numpad for it

[devout ridge]

quite a bit*

[lethal topaz]

no

[uncut kettle]

everytime you turn on youur pc?]

why is this happening

happens only when i'm on linux\ and not on windows

[lethal topaz]

i prefer 70% and 96% over any other keyboard format

they are just more efficient in space

i had a ruler nearby as well so you have scale pictured

[brave panther]

hey i am in the photo

[uncut kettle]

haha

[pure garnet]

this answers your question

[uncut kettle]

i thought someone would know a more detailed answer

[lethal topaz]

@devout ridge tkl vs 96%

[edgy laurel]

bad cable, incorrect refresh rate, screwed up/wrong drivers, who knows.. gotta troubleshoot

Answers don't just come out of no where. Those are called guesses

troubleshooting is required to diagnose a problem. aka, try things and note what changes

[devout ridge]

you can see how it’s not at the same level at the top, and that’s a quite spaced out tkl

[wraith steeple]

That PC is about in between 3-4x the monthly salary of a fairly well off profession during that time back in the old country in 94

[edgy laurel]

@uncut kettle you gotta chill with the spam/shit posting. called Mods on you once already and it won't take much longer for them to just read your post history (even when you delete it) and hit you with a mute/ban.

[lethal topaz]

its the standard tkl format. i like keyboards that dont have numpads but not tkl

[uncut kettle]

i didnt delete it lmao

i got warned

[edgy laurel]

good

[green marsh]

same. i only could afford it because of the insurance money from my broken arm 😄

[edgy laurel]

stop acting like a child

[uncut kettle]

i gotta control myself

im sorry

[lethal topaz]

though the magic of having two of them here is a second tkl for reference

[uncut kettle]

it was lyrics of a song by 2pac tho

[devout ridge]

self control happens before, not after saying stupid shit

[uncut kettle]

im sorry

i will try to make sure it doesnt happen again

[lethal topaz]

i like numpad so much i have a wireless one i use lol

[simple niche]

I just purchased the X5

[devout ridge]

wireless better, have it for when you need it, stow it when you don’t

[lethal topaz]

yeah thats my current conclusion

but the battery life is terrible, something to consider

[simple niche]

I use a number pad because I fly using only keyboard. That's how I dominated the Bespin Platforms.

[green marsh]

@wraith steeple broke it durring football twice, second time a year after first time, where the Ulna label points to, or a bit closer to the palm. Both bones 😄

(both times the left hand, so no harm done /s )

i remember playing dcs with my numpad but thats the only flying game ive played
