I couldnt even grasp the idea of that kinda funds thats aloooot of paperwork and boxs and nopeee

[topaz veldt]

Don't worry she totally didn't invest based on her own voting

[young void]

Yeah insider trading is not suppose to be a thing idkkk

[topaz veldt]

16,000% yield in the market -- hedge funders would KILL for that, but she's just really lucky

[young void]

Smells fishhy

[topaz veldt]

[pure garnet]

is she better than reverse cramer

[young void]

Im not familiar but havent been much into politics lately always something crazy going on

[hoary hatch]

whats a cramer

[topaz veldt]

I am not gonna lie I feel bad about the RAM market right now... but also like..... profits up

[hoary hatch]

oh is it the mad money guy or whatever

[warped mountain]

For like a year there there was a tracker that would automatically trade stocks based on her and it was making a ton of money and then she made a bad trade that looked intentional and people lost a bunch of money and they stopped

[topaz veldt]

shes 37 years in to scamming the market

[pure garnet]

yeah jim cramer, just doing the opposite of what he does

[vestal granite]

i will say beef prices for me are perfectly normal, same as they have been since 2020

[topaz veldt]

they are higher here on some cuts, other cuts about the same

[warped mountain]

Yes, if you are a nand chip maker, I don't know how much money the packager are making.

[vestal granite]

for ground beef solid $8.99/lb, $5.99/lb if you buy the one with the label in spanish

[topaz veldt]

I buy decomms and resell

I have like 1,200 DIMMs I need to inventory

[hoary hatch]

holy shit beef is that expensive?

[vestal granite]

nobody buys the spanish label one around here but its distributed by the same company as the english label one just different packaging

[topaz veldt]

$5.99/liter

[warped mountain]

That very high for us. $2.99/lb would be more "normal"

[hoary hatch]

Y'all should try chicken thighs

[topaz veldt]

love em - cheap also

[warped mountain]

It's that expensive here!

[vestal granite]

idk like $4.99/lb is the lowest ive seen in my adult life and that was 2019

[hoary hatch]

I have no concept for beef prices
I stopped eating beef when I started college

thank you ASU dining halls for making me dislike beef

[young void]

Wonder how farmers are doing?

[vestal granite]

and that low price was when i was in NY which usually has their beef prices on the lower end of the spectrum

[hoary hatch]

okay I do eat beef, just not at home

actually steak and eggs sounds good rn

are there any diners open

[vestal granite]

northeast/new england i think has beef available for cheaper generally, probably just because its more densely populated up there

[hoary hatch]

I have no concept for densely populated

[young void]

XD whos the first guy lol

[topaz veldt]

just rando sweaty guy

[vestal granite]

its just up there u can drive 20 minutes and see people still but if u drive 20 minutes out of a town in TN you enter no mans land where its just farms

[warped mountain]

From my finance Discord here is from my most recent shopping trip ...

[hoary hatch]

fuck me I'd kill for in n out rn

[vestal granite]

thing is, i never buy anything full price for groceries

[hoary hatch]

love me tuna

[warped mountain]

Every single one of those was like a meltdown for me.

[vestal granite]

i only buy stuff on sale/discounted. like those cans of tuna theyll be put into a dollar store for 2/$1 at some point and ill scoop em up

[young void]

Had tuna casserole tonight lol

[hoary hatch]

take 2 cans of tuna: one skipjack, other regular. Add red onion, chives, scallions, cucumber, Dukes, and pickle relish

[warped mountain]

The goal was to buy enough georcies for a month, and be under $270 .... Needless to say it didn't happen

[hoary hatch]

delicious out of 10

[vestal granite]

u gotta find out the food chain for your local grocery stores. like for example my area the walmart sends all their hamburger buns and such to the dollar store at the end of the week when they get new hamburger buns and then its $1/12 buns and if im gonna use them sooner rather than later itll be perfectly fine

[topaz veldt]

why can't AI spell lol

[warped mountain]

Dukes? And what's skipjack?

[hoary hatch]

which AI is this

[vestal granite]

it just knows shapes it doesnt know what the shapes are yet

dukes is mayo

[warped mountain]

Ahh, I buy for the next 30 days.

[hoary hatch]

Dukes is some hick mayonnaise brand that works quite well in tuna salad
I use Kewpie for everything else buy dukes is so.....mayonaisey

Skipjack is a type of tuna that just tastes a bit more fishy

[vestal granite]

i go grocery store once a week to save money by finding all the saleses

[hoary hatch]

my communist grocer doesn't really do sales

[vestal granite]

but i try to alternate days so like one week its friday anotehr week its wednesday so im never at the same point in the rotation of foods

[topaz veldt]

Do you think the CEO of Slim Jim eats like 100 a day

[hoary hatch]

yeah this is an L

[vestal granite]

he fuckin better

[vestal granite]

ceo of jack links definitely eats beef jerky all day

has a little bowl of jerky on his desk instead of candies

[warped mountain]

Savage jerky is SOOOOO good

To bad

[vestal granite]

yes dukes is the best for sandwiches i swear on jehovah as my witness

[warped mountain]

A tiny bag of jerky is like $8 now

[hoary hatch]

#ad

[vestal granite]

see see see this is how u know i believe it

[warped mountain]

I saw it at Circle K and I literally bought it because of the WAN show and I was like oh my God this is so good!

[hoary hatch]

for american mayo dukes is pretty dope

[topaz veldt]

what if Circle K had its own brand of Jerky/

[hoary hatch]

guilty is right: kewpie is better

[hoary hatch]

bucees wannabe

[warped mountain]

They do I believe

[topaz veldt]

would it be Circle Jerky?

[vestal granite]

i dont know what circle K has other than coffee

and whats that yellow gas station with the yellow logo i like their coffee too

[hoary hatch]

where do you get circle cows

um

[warped mountain]

Up until last year they were doing pretty good on price balancing.. now they're just lost their mind $4 candy bars $5 energy drinks just 🫤

[topaz veldt]

Lululemon

[vestal granite]

i feel like thats actually close to the name of it

[hoary hatch]

how long will netflix let me be signed in until it realizes I am not on my parents network

[topaz veldt]

48 minutes

[hoary hatch]

shame

[pure garnet]

is it really that locked down now

[vestal granite]

yeah some gas stations fall, like 7/11 i would never actually buy things there other than their pizza because im a 7/11 pizza fan they cook it right there they got a pizza oven and everything

[hoary hatch]

I mostly use netflix as a recommendation on what to add to plex

[hoary hatch]

yes

[pure garnet]

wild

[vestal granite]

the low tier gas stations always have reasonably priced items like $0.99 energy drinks of unknown origins

[pure garnet]

so if i wanna watch netflix at work i need a 2nd plan?

[hoary hatch]

i only drink Ghost

[topaz veldt]

nah

[hoary hatch]

you should be working at work

[indigo walrus]

In that case, why not just subscribe to their Browse Endlessly plan?

[pure garnet]

brother 90% of my shift is downtime on my phone

[topaz veldt]

but what if you were dismembered?

[pure garnet]

like 40% of my activity here is while i’m on the clock

[vestal granite]

then u can get 10 more jobs

[hoary hatch]

there is a reason I have no interest to actually use netflix kek

[pure garnet]

hey that could happen if i decide to stick my foot in the router

[indigo walrus]

😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_Bm2WUYBxU

[hoary hatch]

netflix induces decision paralysis

[topaz veldt]

watch out for thos packets!

[vestal granite]

just roll a dices before opening the thing

[topaz veldt]

My wife and I watch this show like 4 nights a week

[vestal granite]

i like the onion cause it has layers

[topaz veldt]

what if it actually just has many wrappers

[vestal granite]

this can also be true

[topaz veldt]

like what if we found out that an onion is really like 22 individual vegetables

and we're eating 21 layers of trash

[vestal granite]

i would argue most of the layers of an onion are trash yes

like that first gummy layer fuck that one especially

thats only for soups i dont know why restaurants forget this

u only use that layer for soups

otherwise its just chewy

[topaz veldt]

i hate when you are CERTAIN you got the plastic bag layer off and then you bite into it and theres plastic bag layer still in it

thats why in my new kitchen I put in an "onion wall"

[vestal granite]

yeah you toss the onions behind the drywall like old razor blades in the 1900s

i guess the 1900s is pretty recent

[warped mountain]

I was looking for my Buccees video but I don't know where it's at lol

[topaz veldt]

you can see I have bene practicing more with white onions lately

[vestal granite]

buccees does not spark joy

[young void]

Some will call this art ||but the cleaning guy call this bull #$%^||

[topaz veldt]

either way make sure you wear goggles

[vestal granite]

if i wanted to wait in line for 30 minutes to get to the gas pump so i could wait in line for 30 minutes to pay for the gas inside because im not paying at the pump because thats a scam, i would just use that time to find a punch line to this joke instead

[topaz veldt]

You should take your car to a boat ramp and fill up with gas with the car backed into like 3' of water

[vestal granite]

well some cars can function temporarily as a boat

[topaz veldt]

like a 2013 Ford Focus

[vestal granite]

perhaps

[topaz veldt]

Can you imagine a 2,000 lb order of Slim Jims arriving and its just the casing they are in

[hoary hatch]

Onion

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

The BONE

[wraith steeple]

Yes?

[topaz veldt]

We have been visited by The BONE

[arctic bronze]

this looks like shit on the wall

someone really let it rip in the kitchen

[fervent elm]

https://tenor.com/view/bone-gif-9583965047034155743

[warped mountain]

Is this why y'all were saying more e-core on Mac were better? Because it doesn't use the p-cores?

[devout ridge]

It uses the E cores whenever it won't reduce performance, saves on battery

[warped mountain]

Isn't file extraction an all core workload normally? Or is that just windows

[devout ridge]

Can be an all core workload, depends on the type of file

[turbid locust]

Heated steering wheels might be top 3 inventions of mankind

[devout ridge]

REAL, It is truly beautiful when it's -12c outside

[warped mountain]

U don't need any heat, just leave the jacket and gloves on and drive

[turbid locust]

I’m sure some discord random knows what I need

[devout ridge]

Those are the words of someone who has not experienced a heated steeringwheel

[ripe needle]

We hate to see it

[hoary hatch]

Those are the words of someone who has never needed oven mitts to drive

[ripe needle]

This was one of my friends 😭

[devout ridge]

Correct, because i refuse to live in an oven (arizona)

[ripe needle]

I love the midwest

We do have the worst weather imaginable tho

Most bipolar weather

[gentle gale]

1ft of snow in chicago

gotta love the midwest

[ripe needle]

Next day itll be 300 degrees

[gentle gale]

yep

[ripe needle]

It’s impossible to live in the Midwest Thats why it’s so great

I regret dying my hair 😭

But it looks so good

[hoary hatch]

Y'all look what technology has accomplished

[ripe needle]

Now this is what we live for

[warped mountain]

It was /j

[buoyant hedge]

I just installed Reunion7 on my PC, and I love it. (in case you don't know, it's just Windows 10 LTSC IoT with a lot of themes to make it look and feel exactly like Windows 7, meaning it supports modern apps and it gets security updates until 2032).

I also installed the XP version on my Lenovo Thinkpad L440 (feels so weird running Microsoft Edge on something that looks and feels like XP).

[warped mountain]

The last 45 days I've spent $6,500 on legal fees. For a total of $15,000 in 14 months.

[raven citrus]

holy hell

[oak vector]

messy lease issues?

ohh and a lot of property I assume was stolen/broken or otherwise

[warped mountain]

Because I knew that she likes to lie and is not scared to lie under oath...

The property listed are only things that I had to walk through video of the day prior because my buddy literally called me and said "make a walk through video remember when she kicked me out and she stole all my stuff" (I didn't know about anything being stolen I knew about an Xbox being ran over.... ).

The list was also generated within 24 hours of discovery that things were missing (because I was in a court timeline) so I had to just focus on what was in the video then I knew was not there. There's approximately $6,000 of additional things that are missing that we're not in the walkthrough video so I did not include them.

Bear in mind at the time of the video was taken, I knew by law that she could not remove me from the property for a minimum of 45 days. I never thought that she would get this careless.

[oak vector]

oh man that's heartbreaking
I pray for you and your stuff 🙏

[warped mountain]

Thanks, my stuff is long gone.

[warped mountain]

Yeah

[oak vector]

any hopes of legal action getting anything back, even in money form?

[warped mountain]

That's what that is, that's the lawsuit

The handwritten is the response to that section of the countersuit.. I would share more but I use names and a bunch of places and I didn't want to deal with having to block everything

[oak vector]

that's actually gut wrenching, but, here's hope there's a good outcome, because that whole situation is beyond fucked.

[warped mountain]

Don't mind me .. just casually getting flash banged by Mini LED 💀. If this is ~1,000 nits, can you imagine OLED @1,000 nits 👀

[leaden dawn]

Damn I need a monitor that does that. Wild you can see the difference even through a camera through a non HDR screen. Or at least hard for me to think about

[warped mountain]

I genuinely have no idea what the actual nits are. Lenovo claims 1,000, everybody that's tested the display has gotten 549-600 at launch so maybe there was some kind of update?
But YEAH ITS WILD! I do suggest getting a system or monitor that has an actual HDR certification so the colors are correct. Otherwise it just ends up being really bright but really washed out or you end up with like weird yellow (iPhone style) skin tones.. my HP can do HDR on the OLED and it looks good but the colors are wrong because there is no HDR certification.

[warped mountain]

Yeah if it was a slower scene the camera would adjust his exposure but because it's not it just doesn't know what to do. I got texted and actually pink it's white. But the mini LEDs are so strong it confuses the camera sensor

[green marsh]

someone is few years late in trying to sell a mining rig

the cards aren't even worth the asking price (450e)

[lethal topaz]

zip ties and wood screws to hold them in 😂

[vast holly]

Damn can’t use it all for anything?

[lethal topaz]

no SLI so not like it would be ideal for AI

[green marsh]

sure you can, but i mean, he is trying to sell something like 8x RX580 8GB for 450 euros. The GPUs cost less than that and motherboard/pentium/single 4-8GB DDR4 is useless/worthless

[vast holly]

I meant like he could just use it to mine something a newer currency or something to make it worth while

Oh ahhhhh electricity bill too gotta consider that

[livid flame]

Selling so high because they made some money and think they’re still worth something

As they’re mining card I will give him 10 euro a card

Atleast he went to the effort to secure the cards on a wooden board. Fair play to them

[brave panther]

Does it include psu?

[green marsh]

probably, but still, it's just RX580's. And knowing people, it is one of those chinese explosive PSUs

[karmic folio]

beat this 6 rx 580s for 2k cad

[brave panther]

Either it is shitty chinesium or a nice corsair one, no in between

[echo hedge]

GUYSSS

[green marsh]

some EVGA ?

[echo hedge]

its coming todayyyyy

[green marsh]

basing it on

[karmic folio]

[brave panther]

I would offer 200 max

[echo hedge]

maybe i get a WD Blue Green?

[green marsh]

LOL

[naive stirrup]

What are your guys thoughts on the samsung odyssey g5 oled?

[livid flame]

My thoughts? It uses electricity to create light to show an image.

[lethal topaz]

depends on generation but it's a decent oled. i dont remember the price though, im sure its not the best value

[inland wind]

Hey if anyone knows a good tablet-like oscilloscope with a nice signal analyzer? Would really appreciate it. I will send you a cat pic if we end up getting it

[dense pelican]

why the fuck do so many second hand gpu sellers just upload a single photo of them holding the card or something similar lol? no benchmarks and no photos from any other angles either

[devout ridge]

why would a seller upload benchmarks?

[dense pelican]

What do you mean?

Atleast a furmark and gpu z

[devout ridge]

Furmark isn't a benchmark, gpuz is just a info tool

[dense pelican]

Well for the thermals why not?

[devout ridge]

That you can gather from reviews of that card, plus most sellers aren't super well informed on their card, or aren't willing to go through a whole process just to list their card

they put in the bare minimum to get it to sell

[dense pelican]

Yeah and it sucks right

[devout ridge]

Also furmark isn't indicative of actual thermal performance, it's basically just a power virus

[topaz veldt]

Because it's a second hand GPU not a purebred horse

[shell void]

[manic anchor]

do i need to worry about temps and dust if i have a negative pressure? given that most cases have 3 intake and 4 exhaust. I have a dusty environment btw.

[topaz veldt]

Jealous

[graceful marten]

Damn the quality... the frames... its so cool, going from an (now) old Xbox One S, to a 7600X with a 9060XT 16gb is... quite the jump!

[raven citrus]

i would still use my xbox one s but holy hell that cpu is complete dog shit

[hoary hatch]

Counts as spam maybe? They've posted it multiple times and no context

[hoary hatch]

Xbox One to any GPU in the last 10 years would be pretty significant

Okay aside from a GT1030 or whatever

However, yeah, XBONE to 9060xt is very significant upgrade

[graceful marten]

true

[graceful marten]

Nah that thing is done, it took atleast 5 minutes to load into ANY game except Roblox, but roblox took some sweet time aswell a few times. But like Assassin's Creed took atleast 10-15 minutes just to start and load into.

It was annoying

[oak vector]

If there’s dust in the environment
You have to worry about it in your pc
Unless it’s a completely sealed case with no intakes and no exhaust and no holes lmao

[graceful marten]

I still have the xbox, its in the corner for now until I know what I wanna do with it.

[hoary hatch]

My Xbox one s is still usable as a UHD Blu-ray player

[graceful marten]

Oh smart

[hoary hatch]

Although I bought it for that purpose

[oak vector]

I went from Xbox one s to r5 5600 and a 4060ti 8gb

[graceful marten]

I dont have any cds to use tho

[graceful marten]

Quite the jump aswell

[oak vector]

Honestly the Xbox was solid
But that cpu was so shite and it had a hdd in it

[hoary hatch]

It's 12 year old low end hardware

[graceful marten]

Oh so its the hdd that is squeeking

Makes sense

[hoary hatch]

Credit to game devs for squeezing every ounce of performance they could out of it

But still, discord aged low end hardware

[graceful marten]

Its actually crazy that games released in 2024 were playable on that shit

[oak vector]

Fr

[hoary hatch]

Yeah the jaguar CPUs in PS4/XBONE were terrible

[mighty marten]

not that big of a deal

[oak vector]

Honestly
Hot take
30fps on console just ain’t that bad if the game is right

[hoary hatch]

I played tons of 30 fps until I experienced 60 fps

[oak vector]

Like gta
Red dead
Even sim racing games
30fps was fine for me

[graceful marten]

When I had the xbox and no real thoughts of getting a gaming pc I was always asking myself why more games wouldn't be released to the xbox one s, and after looking at the specs of that junk, I fully understand why

[hoary hatch]

I can't go back to 30fps now

Even 60 is pain

My real minimum target is probably 90

[oak vector]

I can deal with 60fps as long as it isn’t on my main rig

[graceful marten]

Btw I capped the fps in AC Shadows to 60, because my monitor is still ass (dw I'm getting a new one) but it still displays 120+ in the corner? I know I cant see 120fps but is that just putting unnecessary strain on the system?

[oak vector]

Yeah 90 is about where it’s comfy
Anything less and it gets messy

[hoary hatch]

What does unnecessary strain mean

It's not like using the system to its full potential will cause it to combust

[graceful marten]

Uhhh like making it work too hard for something I cant see?

[hoary hatch]

Also more FPS = faster response time

[graceful marten]

No no I know that but still

[hoary hatch]

Work...too hard?
Blud do you know how computers work

[graceful marten]

No

Thats why I'm here to learn

I've never owned a pc in my life until this point

I've always had xbox up until now

[oak vector]

True that

[graceful marten]

So I really dont know how everything work, I know the basics like what they do but

[hoary hatch]

If your components get too warm they will self thermal throttle

[manic anchor]

thats why im asking, i have a dusty environment

[oak vector]

If there’s dust in the air
It’ll be in your rig 🙏

[graceful marten]

I noticed I dont have any intake fans at all in the front which is weird

[drifting remnant]

so what are the padlock icons mean

[graceful marten]

No clue

[manic anchor]

thx

do i need to worry about x16 gpu lanes dropping to x8 when i use the ssd slot closes to cpu? many boards have this problem. is it a problem for a 5080?

[brisk jolt]

unless your mobo has like 5 ssd slots and you go fill all of them, no.

[brittle trellis]

Bitlocker?

[drifting remnant]

ya

[manic anchor]

any suggestions on a good case then, how it loost is not a problem just not too big. the pc will be in a dusty environment yes.

That was the cheaper 217. I think the concept that was neat was the Lancool 4.

I doubt that Lancool 4 concept becomes reality

C9 left, C4 right. 42" panels are just kinda nerfed

this is C4 brightness for panels greater than 48"

[topaz veldt]

Apparently that one didn't send to @slim pebble yesterday

[hoary hatch]

Ohhh 42"

[steel stream]

that looks hella nice 5nail, jealous

[topaz veldt]

It's weird discord just popped it up now that it didn't send

[topaz veldt]

Was idling so the kids could say they wanted to swim and then spend 15 mins crying that they didn't want to swim lol

[steel stream]

Schrodingers swim

[odd sable]

Can we get more context?

[frank zealot]

Shockingly chonky heatsink for a 2.5g nic

[odd sable]

That's a quad 2.5g?

I didn't know quad 2.5s existed

[frank zealot]

yup. Reaktek chipset, so nothing special, but functional

[odd sable]

Understandable

[hoary hatch]

Heh....reaktek

[topaz veldt]

Kinda accurate

[odd sable]

I just didn't really get the why

Like, why not single 10g?

[frank zealot]

router

[odd sable]

Dual I can understand for that

But quad?

[topaz veldt]

Switch and router

Or MPIO etc

[frank zealot]

my router at home has 4 ethernet ports, and that's fine

and not adding an additional switch is a good thing for cable mess

.... I can't get the PCI Bracket off to put on the low profile one >.<

[odd sable]

Heh

I guess if you can avoid having a switch with that then fair enough

[hoary hatch]

I suppose it saves a little bit of mess/space compared to having a separate switch

I just have a dual 2.5gbe nic since I have switches for days

[whole coral]

Kind of annoying that my router is literally 2.5 Gigabit WAN and like 1 gig LAN

It’s an ISP-provided router though lol

[odd sable]

That's because WiFi

[frank zealot]

I legit can't get this off

[left ermine]

Guys im in a pickle.

[frank zealot]

RTFM

[whole coral]

Not sure when my ISP will do WiFi 7 routers. Maybe when they release DOCSIS 4.0

[left ermine]

Nomno

[whole coral]

My area isn’t doing DOCSIS since my ISP decided to do full fiber to the home

[left ermine]

Manual is not saving this shit

[steel stream]

#1027757333117415424 might then

[left ermine]

There is absolutely no clearance for the fan

[frank zealot]

you're just bad at this

[left ermine]

I literally just aaid

[odd sable]

Fan goes up a bit higher

[left ermine]

I have never built a pc before

[whole coral]

Doing 1.8 GHz over coaxial cable is challenging lmao. Imagine doing 3 GHz or so

[left ermine]

Ofc im not good

[frank zealot]

go learn, youtube has hundeds of instructional videos on how to do each of these things

[left ermine]

The ram sticks pushes the fan up so I cant install it

[frank zealot]

incorrect

[left ermine]

How the fuck is a tutorial gonna help that

[odd sable]

Just install the fan as bit higher

[frank zealot]

for starters: The clips are on backwards

Second: Move the fan up half an inch and you're done

[frank zealot]

yes, we know exactly what you're talking about, and you're just doing it wrong

[pure garnet]

does that say h310

hope that board was like 5 dollars

[wraith steeple]

[frank zealot]

Hey, look, RAM clearance

[frank zealot]

I don't want one, but it looks sick AF

If they make that, it will no longer be a 100-ish dollar lancool, that would require a price premium.

[merry stirrup]

wait this is real

[frank zealot]

.... how the fuck do these front fans mount:

[merry stirrup]

mobo tray is metal, good enough

[edgy laurel]

i've not bothered to look since computex but neither of them did (yet) at that point

[merry stirrup]

hmm okay ill buy it later then

fire

[edgy laurel]

just press fit into the hole in the glass, presumably. maybe a silicone gasket

[frank zealot]

this is an annoying AF level of proprietary

[edgy laurel]

i mean it was just a concept

[frank zealot]

"I'm gonna lay this glass down on my ceramic tile floor, and press fit the fans"

[pure garnet]

what is even the point of glass on the back

[frank zealot]

aesthetics

[pure garnet]

the black power supply yearns to be visible

[merry stirrup]

hey some people have rust supplies

[pure garnet]

true

the unpainted special

[frank zealot]

The Thermaltake White Label

the "Thermal-Tah-Kay"

[pure garnet]

killer quailty

[steel stream]

as in it's going to kill me right

[pure garnet]

50/50

[frank zealot]

jesus that onnly does 288w on +12V

That's hideously bad

do not run a GPU on that PSU

[pure garnet]

it doesn't even have pcie cables so i think we're safe on that front

[frank zealot]

molex to pcie exists

and PSU's like this are reasons why they shouldn't exist

[merry stirrup]

molex my secret goat if you have the dismay of adapting to pcie

molex is rated at a pretty decent 54w per connector

[frank zealot]

not when the PSU can't even do 300w on the 12v line lol

[merry stirrup]

i mean thats when you just throw the whole thing away

but i mean we had a machine (that i did not conjure) w/a rtx 4k on a molex to pcie adaptor on one of those hp psus

i dont even know how long it was in comission but it had to be like 3+ years

[slim pebble]

Looks beautiful out there, I hope it was as fun!

[pure garnet]

the sharks made a 1000w non modular power supply too

82+ 😭

[frank zealot]

even worse, it barely does 800w on 12V for a 1000W PSU

[steel stream]

https://videocardz.com/newz/redditors-quad-rtx-5090-gpu-dual-2400w-psu-rig-is-ready-to-benchmark-breakers-not-games

turn it on and run furmark

@steel stream when z890 asrock ocf

[steel stream]

if my Nova combusts then sure

[merry stirrup]

i know what i have to do but i dont know if i have the strength to do it

[steel stream]

I gotta start saving for NVL + 6080

and some NAS stuff

[merry stirrup]

so real man i got so much stuff lined up but i might have to take a minor break for personal reasons

[steel stream]

understandable

yeah i gotta slow my purchasing down

[frank zealot]

I've got a boatload of newegg credits banked, and i'm waiting to see what a 5080 Super looks like

if it's a 24GB Card? I might be sold.

assuming MSRP is close to 1K

[merry stirrup]

i just want a tv

just one pretty bright 4k oled tv

[pure garnet]

something something oled and bright something something

[merry stirrup]

something something hdr or something

[steel stream]

C5 is pretty good, but sucks you would have to go 55" minimum

[merry stirrup]

55 would be okay i just dont want another 65

[steel stream]

S90D is also a good viewing experience, it's just Scamsung, and idk who is selling them anymore

[merry stirrup]

its just a lil too big

[merry stirrup]

is the b5 good idk if thats expensive or not tbh

c5 is 1200$

[steel stream]

yeah it's decent

[merry stirrup]

at 899$ its certainly the cheapest option from BestBuy™

[pure garnet]

from where

[steel stream]

dark room viewing it would be pretty good

No open box?

[merry stirrup]

BestBuy™

c5 open box i think for 920

or a bravia for similar price but i havent evne heard of sony doing anything cool so idk

[steel stream]

Sony OLEDs are good but $$$

and i think only top end SKUs are worth it

[merry stirrup]

ah okay

im not interested in google tv really so thats fine

[steel stream]

C5 good

[merry stirrup]

okie ill wait around maybe till blackfriday and try to snipe an oled tv

[steel stream]

Gets past that 1000 nit mark which I think is dope

[merry stirrup]

that 950 excellent c5 seems legit

[steel stream]

yah

my excellent C4 42" was just a returned unit, I dont even think it was opened

[merry stirrup]

and if i dont use it as a tv ill make it a monitor somehow

[merry stirrup]

dayum

i get worried about oleds idk

i went to bed one day and woke up and my monitor was just sitting on the entire time and i tweaked out a little

i am also 50% sure its spamming the cleaning cycles more frequently than it used to

[steel stream]

shit happens, as long as you are somewhat conscious of it it will be fine

[steel stream]

the monitor cleaning cycles are always just annoying

[merry stirrup]

i do my best

[steel stream]

yeah it'll be fine

As for TV I would recommend C5 first, then S90D

[merry stirrup]

then b5?

[steel stream]

B5 if you get a good deal

[merry stirrup]

okie

ill update you whenever that happens

stuck between oled and new phone atm

[steel stream]

🫡

[merry stirrup]

🫡

[steel stream]

what you phone you on rn? 12 pro right?

[merry stirrup]

pro max yea

[steel stream]

hmm

[merry stirrup]

it has seen better days

[steel stream]

yeah that is a hard choice

[merry stirrup]

the back glass is shattered

[steel stream]

i'd probs go for the phone tbh

[merry stirrup]

like straight up deleted in some places

[merry stirrup]

yeah thats what im thinking

i dropped this phone one time and it got destroyed i was so sad

[shell void]

time for the flopmeister to cop a base model iphone 17

[merry stirrup]

25 ultra prolly

[steel stream]

true

[merry stirrup]

dont want a smalla screen

[shell void]

oh okay baller

[merry stirrup]

that or an iphone yeah

an s25 ultra from BB™ is 1k or something and that doesnt smell terrible

[pure garnet]

you need to buy a blue shirt

[merry stirrup]

im wearing one rn

[pure garnet]

apply to best buy, get the uniform, then quit

[merry stirrup]

i think i could just walk in and ask for one with how much i go there

"y'all think i can get one of your nametags and a shirt"

best buy regional promoter

[ripe needle]

Is the 5050m better than the 3050m?

[merry stirrup]

probably but less than you think

or its like 2x better and blows it out of the water

[pure garnet]

is 2 higher than 1

[steel stream]

I just walked out the door for class and realized I didn't want to go so I am back

[merry stirrup]

no in between

mobile gpus especially the lower end class are all a mixed bag of "how many times can we put the 2060 in a laptop"

[pure garnet]

4050 was closer to a 3060 mobile

[ripe needle]

I bought a laptop advertised to have a 3050 but i got a 5050 instead

[pure garnet]

so 5050 would logically be faster

[merry stirrup]

def faster but who knows by how much go find out

you got the good end of the stick

whoever got a 3050 instead is sad

my roomie had a similar scenario go down

[ripe needle]

I heard the 50 series for the laptop is really bottom of the barrell

[merry stirrup]

like XX50? yes

[ripe needle]

The 5090m is half as good as the 5090

[merry stirrup]

well so is the 4090m

3090m i dont think even existed lol

[devout ridge]

about 25% better

[merry stirrup]

30 series was the last of the MXM cards so nothing was good then

[devout ridge]

50% increase from 5090m to 5090, so about 2/3rds as good

[pure garnet]

i doubt that the 512bit bus would’ve done well on a mobile die

the memory alone eats half the power budget

[merry stirrup]

💀

[ripe needle]

Close enough

I thought it was a lot worse

[devout ridge]

1/2 ain’t all that close to 2/3

[ripe needle]

I cant wait to work outside all day

In freezing temps

[merry stirrup]

hah loser i get to fuck around withc omputers all day

[ripe needle]

Yesterday we had no snow and i wake up to 8 inches

[merry stirrup]

this is so fucking real man

[devout ridge]

i haven’t been to work in 2.5 weeks, went back yesterday and was in agony

first day back from a break is horrible

[steel stream]

work tomorrow wooo

[devout ridge]

my paycheck today was $0

paycheck of loss and despair

[merry stirrup]

bro look at this

straight up epoxy resin throughout

[devout ridge]

why is it goopy

[steel stream]

average ATC paycheck

[merry stirrup]

the whole pc has a layer of resin

[steel stream]

what da fuq

[devout ridge]

i’m disgusted

[merry stirrup]

i cannot open it

i REALLY tried

[devout ridge]

find who did it, and break their skull with the PC

[pure garnet]

obviously we know it's good but the central computers listing for the ocf looks so sketchy

[merry stirrup]

i even looked up the docs i was doing it right

[steel stream]

put it in the microwave to heat it up

[merry stirrup]

youre supposed to be able to pop this gray cover off with just a screwdriver

[steel stream]

how much is it again

[pure garnet]

330

[merry stirrup]

329, real cheap

[pure garnet]

cheapest place to stock it

399 elsewhere

[steel stream]

damn

[steel stream]

it obviously wants to stay sealed

[merry stirrup]

CLEARLY

i have 6 of them to play with though

2 rows of them

so this one is currently my sacrificial one

[devout ridge]

i love a good sacrificial PC

keeps the others in line, lets them know you mean business

[merry stirrup]

i LITERALLY threw it in the parking lot 6-7 times

[frank zealot]

lol, I just opened up a PCIE Slot with a drill

[ripe needle]

Beautiful

[frank zealot]

in a few minutes i'll be checking to see if it worked correctly

[devout ridge]

functionally opened it up, or destructively opened it up

[ripe needle]

My friend got paid for 1 hour of work when he worked 30 😭

[merry stirrup]

bro im just going for open at all

[frank zealot]

theoretically functionally.

[slim pebble]

I’m at 70ns memory latency, what’s the best timing to reduce that to 68 or so?

So close..

[steel stream]

you wanna get it to 67ns for best perf

[merry stirrup]

tRCD

tWR maybe could help

set that to 48 should do its magic

[slim pebble]

I was messing with that, and got a couple of failures to post 🤣😂

[merry stirrup]

tWR or RCD?

[slim pebble]

TRCD, I have dual rank memory

[merry stirrup]

whats it at right now? and memory speed?

[topaz veldt]

Single rank and apex

[slim pebble]

TRCD (read and write) is at 36. 96GB DDR5 6000 CL26, the good stuff

[merry stirrup]

yeah youre not going any lower

decrease your tertiaries

[slim pebble]

I’m using 54GB right now, I can’t do single rank 😂

[merry stirrup]

IM IN

you can see where they epoxied it

[devout ridge]

is that masking tape?

[merry stirrup]

yes

[devout ridge]

at least they didn’t epoxy first, think later

[merry stirrup]

getting some detailed photos

[wraith steeple]

The hell is that?

[wise bear]

time for ice soup

[devout ridge]

with shaved ice to top it off

i’m feeling fancy tonight

[merry stirrup]

an awful horrible epoxied computer that stole blood from me

[wise bear]

maybe a little salt and pepper if there's any left in the shaker

and a slice of wonderwhite bread for dessert

[merry stirrup]

how rude

[wraith steeple]

Ahh

I'm doing an LGR thing

[wise bear]

it looks like an industrial signage box

[merry stirrup]

this is basically me doing crd stuff

this is my own episode of little guys

[wise bear]

[merry stirrup]

since they have tape it’s not too hard to peel off

like it is but if i really wanted to i can get most of it off

[wraith steeple]

Waiting for muh DX2-66 to arrive

[edgy laurel]

so, what is it

what was it

[merry stirrup]

im sure it wouuld turn on

[wise bear]

who tapes over sealed io

[merry stirrup]

it is an ML340G something from onlogic

[merry stirrup]

its epoxied

[wise bear]

thats even fucking worse wtf

[merry stirrup]

this is why its destroyed

previous it admin did it

[wise bear]

OH is this the machine your boss epoxied

[wraith steeple]

It's a SX955 variant which supports WB so that's noice

[wise bear]

well its a good fucking thing they're previous

[merry stirrup]

you are hilarious if you think theres not 5 more

[pure garnet]

floppa having fun today

[wise bear]

I hate your coworkers

[wise bear]

like I genuinely hate whoever epoxied those machines

[merry stirrup]

this one is 4th gen, but close enough

[wise bear]

that is so overkill

[merry stirrup]

trust me bro i do too

i had to rip the machine in half

[wise bear]

call them back in and throw one at their face

[edgy laurel]

industrial, meant to deal with dirty environments. needs to be sealed

[wise bear]

tell them to fix it, and they're not getting paid for it

[wraith steeple]

flashbacks of 5nail memory video

[merry stirrup]

look what i did to the top cover ripping it off

it is safe to say the rest arent being opened any time soon probably

or i maybe got the hardest one

[merry stirrup]

nah theyre not sealed from the factory

im sure theyre design to be used from factory

the previous admin was just not smart

the machines were too slow and his idea was to fill it up with resin

because the dust clearly made the i3 haswell dual core slower

clearly. the dust that is not in the computer regardless

there was dust filters on the io and everything this was not needed

[wise bear]

This makes me angy

[merry stirrup]

my finger hurt

[wraith steeple]

To SCSI or not to SCSI

650w psu for a 5070? enough or no

[edgy laurel]

in most cases plenty

[solid pelican]

oh ok

is there a specific 5070 that you would recommend

[edgy laurel]

nope

[solid pelican]

ok

[wise bear]

@hoary hatch I really might move to hillsburrito or beaverton, this area is so neat

[pure garnet]

cheapest one

[solid pelican]

it doesnt matter that im in 1080p right even though the 5070 is more of a 1440p card would you still recommend it

[fringe vigil]

Tech issue buddy

[low sorrel]

why is it epoxied

[green marsh]

mPCIe ? cool, you can add NVMe then

[merry stirrup]

yes

[merry stirrup]

i assure you, the i3 4010u is not making anymore use of an NVME drive than it is with an mpcie drive

[green marsh]

you have wifi in mPCIe, so you can add more storage

[merry stirrup]

for what?

[green marsh]

for more storage 😄

[merry stirrup]

not quite the machine type i want to use

....for anything....at all...

it was epoxied shut

[green marsh]

and to be honest, using NVMe via mPCIe adapter on such system is all down to costs - NVMe with a $9 adapter is still cheaper than mSATA drives

[wise bear]

DUDE

what is with the uber delivery drivers up here being handsome as fuck

[autumn rain]

Uber delivery around here is mostly old guys, but they’re always super nice to me, so I can’t complain.

[low sorrel]

now wall mount it

[warped mountain]

I know windows 11 does weird things, do I need more RAM?

[autumn rain]

Interesting question, I built myself a small home lab with a Raspberry Pi and mini pc over the weekend because Geeekpi accidentally sent me two mini racks. I tried to send it back but they didn’t want it. What should I do with it? Linux test bench? I’ve used my pi for retro emulation and Steam Link up to the this point. I figure something new would be a nice challenge.

[wise bear]

16gb is pretty dinky in 2025

[merry stirrup]

you might, youre not quite out yet, but you also cant upgrade your ram

[autumn rain]

Still almost all of it being eaten up by just Windows seems off to me. I’d be curious to see what’s running in the background.

[merry stirrup]

not really a just him thing

[edgy laurel]

How do we know that?

[merry stirrup]

windows ram usage is dynamic and will take more depending on how much you have

it just depednds on a bazillion factors, it looks normal

[edgy laurel]

a picture of task manager alone says nothing. a picture showing all running processes, that would be useful

[merry stirrup]

i see users running out of ram on 16GB in office enviroment all da time

[dawn plover]

depends what you're using it for, but 16 is like the absolute minimum I'd recommend to anyone these days

[topaz veldt]

Bro gotta re-eval VMs

[wise bear]

24gb is minimum in 2025

[merry stirrup]

hey im just saying h32 is allegedly incredible btw

[wise bear]

why are you running chrome AND firefox

[warped mountain]

So no SS

[topaz veldt]

Omg I can't take it

[merry stirrup]

chrome, firefox and some random downloading program

throw edge in there

[warped mountain]

A personal chrome, work chrome, Firefox for add-ons that chrome banned.

[edgy laurel]

now that Startup tab, organized by Enabled

a couple years ago someone asked me about buying a work laptop and they showed me 8GB options and I was like hell no it's already outdated

[wise bear]

this guy is clinically insane

[warped mountain]

Above

[edgy laurel]

thats a lot of unnecessary things launching at boot

[merry stirrup]

probably would do good without these

[dawn plover]

I use Edge and Firefox sometimes bcs one browser for school stuff (Edge) and the other for everything else

[autumn rain]

Chrome eating ram for breakfast as usual

[wise bear]

browser accounts/profiles exists

[merry stirrup]

we're not going to talk about firefox using a similar amount / process

[steel stream]

no

[edgy laurel]

lol that chrome/ram thing is still a joke people make?

[wise bear]

yes lets run multiple different browser engines that won't be bad for performance

[merry stirrup]

and i fucking HATE it

yeah guys chrome eating so much ram its not like i have 17 tabs open or anything

[dawn plover]

yea but I've have web compatibility issues with Firefox for certain things (yes I do report it)

[warped mountain]

Only things I added was EA so I can play NFS via steam. And PDAnet for internet. Everything else is just how it came 😩

[merry stirrup]

hatred

[warped mountain]

Exactly how I have my chrome setup.

[low sorrel]

why do you use edge

[wise bear]

so stop using firefox too

[merry stirrup]

im at work

i use edge at work

[edgy laurel]

A good way to clean up a new system, or a slower system, is to go nuts disabling all but the essential there. Unless you absolutely need to starting up and consuming resources on first login, disable it. If you don't need it running immediately, disable it.

[low sorrel]

i mentally skipped the use and was very confused

[warped mountain]

I wish you could suspend and close, so you can pick up where you left off later

[merry stirrup]

stop projecting

[dawn plover]

oh yeah guys BTW can anyone tell me wtf the new Files, Calendar, and People apps are on Windows 11? I can't even open them without it asking me to sign into an account

[merry stirrup]

this guy doesnt know about efficiency mode

[warped mountain]

Lol, you saw what I pinged you and @ripe needle in last night? Um you asked for receipts, I printed them for you.

[merry stirrup]

im also sure theres an extension to put tabs to sleep

[autumn rain]

Dude I had a friend constantly complaining about his pc being slow, and when I checked it out he had over 200 tabs open in chrome and hadn’t restarted his pc in maybe a month 😭

[wise bear]

now it's just kinda pathetic that you're staying in the same place with that going on..

[warped mountain]

Need it for YouTube. Between pop out and blocker.

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel cleeter just put video out in watching mullet. You caught up?

[wise bear]

you pay for floatplane so pay for yt premium

[warped mountain]

Iirc only way to get Dolby vision streaming from Netflix you have to use edge 🤮

[dawn plover]

also they tried adding themselves to open on startup

[low sorrel]

you can download the netflix app

[edgy laurel]

na, won't be till tonight. I just know that it was a bit of a disaster and there were no real winners. between the weather and the constant oil downs from the xfwd class

[warped mountain]

I'm not staying there anymore

[dawn plover]

the Netflix app just uses Edge

[topaz veldt]

Ok can I tell you about mullet

[edgy laurel]

is this you bursting at the seams to share a secret LOL

[edgy laurel]

also yes lol

[topaz veldt]

No just super shitty rules imho

[warped mountain]

It's more expensive than FP, and Already at $69 subscription per month. (Nice) Also still doesn't solve the lack of popout issue

[topaz veldt]

They tried burning mullet down for like 2 mins at the stages and then starlet was like 6.18 vsullet 6.68... there's no way the car weighed right. They had them put like 600 lbs on mullet. Fucked rules.

[warped mountain]

Did they fix it so it actually works now? It didn't do DV previously.

Has been 20 minutes .....

[frank zealot]

DV?

[edgy laurel]

wow, more drama surrounding that staging BS. That caused some issues last year too. i'll have to check out the video

[warped mountain]

Dolby Vision

[frank zealot]

The app was never great, but it did work for me when I used it

ahhh, never tried dolby

[edgy laurel]

I doubt DV was ever working correctly in Windows no matter the app

[frank zealot]

Works about as well as HDR you say?

if anything, use a smart device app like built into the TV or chromecast

firestick, apple tv, etc..

[warped mountain]

I do want a module that can do smart view with Samsung, I guess the amazing windows one is out of production, and the prices are insane.

[wise bear]

this area in the spring has to be mega pretty

[low sorrel]

what the hell are these city names

beaverton seems like an amercian tv show trying to make up an canadian city

[slim pebble]

I will probably push it to 6400 C30 or C32 like you had it. Your 96GB kit was chefs kiss perfection for a workstation

[topaz veldt]

It had too much CPU dependency

[slim pebble]

You also have great bins on your Zen 5 CPU IMC, so it vibes. 😂

[solid pelican]

how much hotter would a 5070 dual fan run compared to my 3060

[devout ridge]

it depends

[solid pelican]

please explain

[devout ridge]

heatsink design and fan speed

[edgy laurel]

thats a difficult question to answer

without two cards in hand

170W TDP card and a 250W TDP card

[merry stirrup]

one has a bigger physical core than the other, different cooler designs, different fans

different stock thermal paste

different stock thermal pads

[slim pebble]

5070 is about 70 more watts TDP, or am I misremembering?

[devout ridge]

170 vs 250

so 80w

[edgy laurel]

are you asking about what the core will run at? can't answer that, lookup reviews (then take into account case, fans setup and ambient temp. hopefully you realize why people can't just give you a flat answer). Also it doesn't matter as long as its not throttling.

Or are you asking about heat generation in the room?

[warped mountain]

This is what I'm looking for a replacement for

[devout ridge]

google

[warped mountain]

Still stuck here, been 51 minutes now 🫤

[merry stirrup]

yeah it takes a while

[devout ridge]

microsoft office sucks

[warped mountain]

They dont exist anymore, I'm trying to find a like replacement. Apparently schools bought all the stock was left.

[devout ridge]

ebay

[edgy laurel]

is it Miracast?

there are plenty of 3rd party Miracast adapters out there, YMMV

[warped mountain]

It's $60 device...

WDA, and smart view.

[edgy laurel]

amazon has a bunch of miracast devices

honestly didn't know anyone actually used that

[solid pelican]

makes sense thank you

is 549$ usd a good price for a new 5070

[warped mountain]

Does Miracast, chrome cast, and cast from Windows device at 4k

[steel stream]

Remember that I had some Dolby Vision files not playing back properly when I had the S90D? Turns out it was the firestick

[warped mountain]

Yeah, you can mirror from your phone to your TV and you can have your windows display expand out as well when you need more space. And ofc Chromecast ability too

[edgy laurel]

shocked and appalled. what did you do to get them playing?

[solid pelican]

the 5070 has a 12 pin connector right?

[steel stream]

Got rid of the Dolby Vision metadata layer, so I have to do that again now since they still don't want to play

[warped mountain]

I was looking into that and apparently they have a bunch of issues with frame drops and poor resolution.

[solid pelican]

idk where to find the chart where i see the difference between a 5070 and 3060, can someone help me?

[turbid locust]

really weird way to say you don’t know how to use Google

[solid pelican]

like i look it up i want to find the chart with a bunch of the gpus, ive seen it in here before, and i just cant find it

[warped mountain]

Here is what I have found recommended on reddit, anyone have any experience with these?

[green marsh]

i used the cheap china 1080p ones, they work fine

[pallid marsh]

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/aoc-27-qd-oled-qhd-240hz-g-sync-compatible-03ms-gaming-monitor-black/JX9GSKP9H6I bought this the other day for $399 but it had no full screen plastic film just a yellow tag peel on the corner that was a perfect 1 inch rectangle

[green marsh]

also weird product of the day from Aliepxress

[karmic folio]

looks pretty normal to me

[steel stream]

open box?

[green marsh]

that is USB-C to NVMe adapter, to which they plugged NVMe to 5x SATA adapter

[pallid marsh]

New inbox

[steel stream]

wack

[gentle gale]

are you trying to cast to your tv? just download chrome and cast full screen if you use chromecast

[frank zealot]

that's just 2 products in one

[karmic folio]

[green marsh]

yes. But why would you want SATA data without SATA power... all pushed through USB ?

[pallid marsh]

And where i peeled it , it left a very sticky residue I cleaned with monitor cleaner

[steel stream]

nice

[green marsh]

(unless you are doing some ghetto home made DAS system)

[frank zealot]

I never said it made sense, just what it is.

[steel stream]

i think they forgot the peel

[pallid marsh]

My TCL tv had too many peels

[green marsh]

also these prices are getting out of hand

pretty much 31 euros for brand new RTL8127 10GBe card

[devout ridge]

i mean for a 10g rj45 that's not all that unreasonable

[green marsh]

except this uses like <2W power unlike the X540-T2

[merry stirrup]

quantum fiber has made its way

to my home

[green marsh]

also it is a modern NIC, so it supports stuff like ASPM

[fervent elm]

Out of hand as in too much or out of hand as in cheap?

[green marsh]

cheap

[fervent elm]

Ah
Out of hand usually means expensive

[hoary hatch]

It's gorgeous

[warped mountain]

I don't have anything right now, I no I want to mirror from my phone, not cast, and I would like to have the option to wirelessly extend my display when it makes sense.

[warped mountain]

4k?

[green marsh]

as i said, i got the 1080p versions. it is just two dongles, one is sender, other is receiver, they talk through whatever protocol and frequency they want, all you need is USB and HDMI on both sides, USB for power and HDMI for input or output

[warped mountain]

Oh I was looking for just the TV side like the 4K (30hz) WDA(USB for power and HDMI) , how would I dongle my phone? And still charge it at the same time.
#tech-chat-2 message

[green marsh]

that dongle is literally miracast which your tv has already

[topaz veldt]

If only my 5090 TUF OC weren't ded

[warped mountain]

It doesn't work properly, 15hz and major issues.

[green marsh]

and why do you think the issue is not in the source device (your phone) ?

[karmic folio]

[pallid marsh]

After making an account I contacted aoc support now I wait

[steel stream]

i wonder what they will do

[warped mountain]

Because it's a shitty TV

[warped mountain]

And it works fine at my buddies house, never gets blocky or anything, he has a 75 inch

[green marsh]

then get a Xiaomi Mi Box S 3rd gen or NVIDIA Shield as a receiver

[pallid marsh]

I just asked if it was supposed to have a full screen peel or just have a small 1 inch sticky rectangle, I hope they are as cool as TCL and let me keep it if the screen peel failed and send me a replacement

[warped mountain]

And it can mirror via smart view? Not cast, smart view?

[steel stream]

that would be awesome

free QD-OLED

[green marsh]

Smart View is Samsung brand name for Miracast dude

[warped mountain]

Okay, just as long at it isn't cast, because cast has ... Issues with useability

[left ermine]

Does anyone know what a connector labeled TKG 2510 is for?

[warped mountain]

This is why I wanted a 2-in-1, no room for a laptop with keyboard.

[green marsh]

you mean the 4-pin PWM fan header ? They go into the fan connectors

[hoary hatch]

Oh it's a cost down version of mine

[left ermine]

like SYS_FAN?

[green marsh]

and sorry, those are 3-pin non-PWM fan headers, and you plug them in a fan header of your choice

[left ermine]

I’m so confused now

My motherboard has a slot called SYS_FAN with 4 pins

But my cable only has three?

[proven cairn]

Hey chatters

[frank zealot]

I just got a baller 2FA Code:

886666

it's, like, extra devilish

[karmic folio]

[pure garnet]

your fan is not pwm so it doesn’t use a pwm pin

[steel stream]

Pulse Width Modulation 🐐

[pure garnet]

dc in the big 25 lowkey crazy but

this entire board is unc

[left ermine]

Ah ok, thanks guys

Weird cause it is a 2025 case 😭

Or well, 2020s

But manufactured in 2025

[green marsh]

and yes, if the connector looks like this, you can do the disgusting reverse option too

(as long as you got space next to it, which is not guaranteed)

[low sorrel]

am i the only one who leaves peels on stuff

[steel stream]

you monster

[spiral quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/big-eyed-cat-stare-cat-giant-eye-cat-gif-26545953

[vocal plume]

[low sorrel]

i actually take off the peel on one side

on screens

i think the back of my monitor still has it's peel on it

[young void]

Jerry do i know you in person?

[pure garnet]

why

are you saving it for the next owner

[low sorrel]

idk too lazy

i just wanna plug it in and play

[young void]

[low sorrel]

if it don't affect nothing what the point

[edgy laurel]

lol, i love this one. you hear it about guys buying collectible cars and parking them.

[low sorrel]

now the real question is do you cut your oranges into slices or peel it

[young void]

[oak vector]

Wrong
Eat it like an apple

[low sorrel]

wtf

[pure garnet]

literally tho
