[hoary hatch]

Doolcorkell is still at it, eh?

[topaz veldt]

I am glad its not just me

[wise bear]

what do you FUCKING MEAN an ssd can only do 200??

[warped mountain]

ahh, that was teh plan and use NAS enterprise drives that can handle the high frequency. 😅`

[pure garnet]

nas upgrade

[young void]

Just imagining swat geek squad now busting down doors to fix some dudes build

[hoary hatch]

He won't

[lethal topaz]

?

[pure garnet]

i’m just looking and laughing

[wise bear]

that "high frequency" is meant to be from neighboring drives, not being rattled while on the fucking road

[hoary hatch]

Sounds like insurance
Insurance is a scam

[pure garnet]

we’ve jumped more sharks than most movies

[brittle trellis]

They still won't handle it.

[lethal topaz]

insurance is a scam when they deny ur claim

[pure garnet]

mfw a pothole destroys my parity drive

[wise bear]

mfw anyone runs a hard drive array in a mobile situation

[warped mountain]

i run the AC so the fridge stays happy. in texas i had to run the propane generator. if my new truck gets her it can provide 1.5kw contunious to the trailer, so i wont have to run teh generator anymore! hoping to get rid of it and use taht space for storage.

[hoary hatch]

I've bought device protection once in my life and it wasn't worth it

[fringe vigil]

oh look at that, so i can get my C5 OLED for 849

thats a great price

[warped mountain]

thats what snail was saying i was like :/ but hey he does this for a living so i believ him.

[wise bear]

I don't run an enterprise environment and even I know that you ninny

why do you think they tell you to not move a hard drive arou nd while it's spun up??

[warped mountain]

i though teh helium ones didnt have this problem?

[wise bear]

WHAT???

[pure garnet]

[warped mountain]

because teh platters are liek levitating inside so they cant touch teh head?

[wise bear]

fucking leave.

[topaz veldt]

@wise bear SATA SSDs in a RAID6 with write penalty will be like 1/2 write speed at best, and if it goes over 80% pool utilization, even lower

[wise bear]

You have no idea what you're doing or what you're talking about

[pure garnet]

how did bro get a drivers license

[warped mountain]

wild we had 2.5 hdd and ipods with spinning disks . lol i never thought about that aspect until right now

[wise bear]

must be the banned bug spray that he's huffing

[topaz veldt]

DEET

[wise bear]

yeah but only 200mb/MB? doubtful.

[brittle trellis]

No??? The helium just allows them to spin faster

[wise bear]

*easier

helium has less friction than air

[brittle trellis]

yeah that

[pure garnet]

sata 3 is 600mb/2 300mb so yeah 200-250 sounds about right

[warped mountain]

look at this QLC bottle neck bringing my ststem to a crawl :/

[wise bear]

while in a raid array

[topaz veldt]

Definitely. 100% - there is a DOUBLE write penalty on RAID6

[wise bear]

oh right, double parity

[topaz veldt]

(we didn't even get to the write magnification aspects of parity based RAID on NAND devices...)

[young void]

Disk moving sounds,click click tttt

[brittle trellis]

And they died all the time

[wise bear]

the ipod classic hdd was so cool though

[young void]

They really had a little platter?

[dawn plover]

I have one of those; do people upgrade the HDDs in them?

[wise bear]

yes & yes

[merry stirrup]

yeah with cf cards

or sd cards

[young void]

Curiouss

[merry stirrup]

or msata ssds

[brittle trellis]

Upgrade? No
Replace with flash? Yes

[merry stirrup]

or nvme ssds

[dawn plover]

hmm I might look into this

[topaz veldt]

or SATADOM

[dawn plover]

still an upgrade I mean

[merry stirrup]

or fucking, idk, a cd rom drive or something, we're running out of options

[topaz veldt]

or a 4GB/s TB4 NAS with no network

[warped mountain]

i still cant believe they put this drive in a $1,700 mechine :/ the drive is teh limiter not lunar lake, shes sitting at 15% utilization ....

[pure garnet]

bro at this point he’s gonna just buy redbox machine and put his own blu rays in

[merry stirrup]

LOL

[wise bear]

who doesn't enjoy a serial dom?

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/eye-otter-rubbing-eyes-tired-irritated-gif-16638234

still going on

[topaz veldt]

ugh Eagles

[warped mountain]

i just wanted to move 1 TB of media as fast as i can now, didn't realize it wasn't possible/ weird.

[merry stirrup]

nas, infinite nas, but no network or, games, unlimited games but no games

[indigo tree]

I'm a Cereal Sub

[wise bear]

[warped mountain]

sorry about that

[merry stirrup]

snail did you have a z690 apex that only did 6000

[topaz veldt]

no i had no z690s

[pure garnet]

is it really that bad

[merry stirrup]

i didnt even know it was a thing, apparently theres bad batch z690 apexes that genuinely peak at 6000

[brittle trellis]

You wanted to do something you don't even need to do when you have a hundred TB of space in. Nas running plex

[fringe vigil]

my c5 gonna be good i hope

[merry stirrup]

no

[warped mountain]

i mean but plex wont work when im not home on teh wifi

[wise bear]

the c5 is already obsolete it's now best as a clay pigeon

[merry stirrup]

wahalli i think some did like 7200

[brittle trellis]

If your trailer has an internet connection, it'll work wherever you are as long as you have an internet connection

[warped mountain]

remember teh internet offered is 5mpbs 1mbps up for $105

so i chose to cancel it

[brittle trellis]

The fuck? Just get starlink at that point

[warped mountain]

they have data limits no?

or di dthat change?

[fringe vigil]

wdym no

[merry stirrup]

apparently 10k under ln2 but like a specific batch

lets look at a real bench

LOL 7800 wr 1b record on z690 apex

[brittle trellis]

If you're going somewhere where you won't have internet and won't be in your trailer, just transcode the movies you want to take into a suitable quality for the drive you'll be watching on, so it's a smaller file, and then download them

[merry stirrup]

@pure garnet the 7zip record is genuinely at 6k

[warped mountain]

i wonder how fast it is? you think its 5gig bidirectional?

[topaz veldt]

@fringe vigil I RMA'd my ASUS 5090 TUF OC and they are indicating they are replacing a part

[merry stirrup]

this guy has a 13900k on ln2 and only can hit 6k thats the bad batch apex right there

[fringe vigil]

nice im in the process of getting sent nvidia cables

[brittle trellis]

Fuck no lol, and why the fuck would you need that speed?

Streaming a movie is like 24mbps for 4K

[topaz veldt]

Nice - what did the GPU side of the connector look like btw

[warped mountain]

whats a good drive for lunar lake? this is Pcie Gen 4. would 9100 Samsung be too much. im annoyed how slow this is.

[topaz veldt]

bro this is like looking for water in a desert

[pure garnet]

more money then sense

[topaz veldt]

bro is in school

mom and dads money

[warped mountain]

does that convert to teh same as this?

[topaz veldt]

also who still thinks 9100 is good holy wow

[warped mountain]

MY money thank you. i worked hard to get here.

[fringe vigil]

it looked abit discolored i really dont know but the guy at nvidia said its fine or something

[warped mountain]

.... for my laptop ....

[topaz veldt]

do you have a pic?

[brittle trellis]

Mate you don't need full direct play quality when watching on a phone or laptop on the go

[fringe vigil]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1434990424677679256

[warped mountain]

ohh, yeah that's what's i was building for, same quality as local that's why i was asking what was a good CPU. 4k down sampled to 1440p by device. wouldn't i just watch on netflix / prime at 1080p at that point?

[topaz veldt]

Yeah these puppies have seen some heat

[brittle trellis]

Stop and think for a second.

[wise bear]

rip jorj's gpu

[warped mountain]

i know at 1440 you can only see half teh pixels of 4k .

[wise bear]

😔

[fringe vigil]

is it completley damaged or?

[topaz veldt]

Jorj got T30s though, solid

[warped mountain]

but teh bitrate stays teh same

[topaz veldt]

I mean its not the worst I hvae seen but its seen some shit

[brittle trellis]

1080 is half of 4k, not 1440

[merry stirrup]

1080 is 1/4 of 4k

[warped mountain]

???

[fringe vigil]

hmm idc about the color as long as it works fine with a new cable

[brittle trellis]

You do not need to stream full quality to your mobile devices. It is pointless. You will not notice a difference

[merry stirrup]

1920 (half of 3840), 1080( half of 2160)

=1/4 the pickles

[topaz veldt]

yeah start there and see

@fringe vigil i dunno what ASUS means with "It is currently in the process of parts replacement."

[warped mountain]

huh maybe its just youtube taht i can tell when its running 1440p vs 4k.

[brittle trellis]

Oops yeah, quarter of the actual pixels, half in the numbers

[fringe vigil]

them mfs trying to fix it

[brittle trellis]

No shit, YouTube bitrate sucks

[violet pike]

if I'm storing photos and video files etc. on a NAS and accessing them through an ipad then how much storage on the ipad do I actually need? only 256GB?

[wise bear]

get 512

[topaz veldt]

yeah just wish they'd say wtf is up - I saw no parts visually with issue - shared it on some forums all agreed. maybe a power stage wigged out or something. It had more coil whine than I recall and was obviously unstable

[torpid cargo]

be careful with this, my iPad hates my nas, files always crashes when I try to access it

[fringe vigil]

yh ask them

[topaz veldt]

Gonna wait to see what it comes back with

[young void]

Also update: went in today they waived my fee luckily got a court day for in a week. Great painn

[violet pike]

turns out I'd have to get 1TB minimum if I wanted the nano-texture glass

[wise bear]

yep

[wise bear]

did you do that stupid polygraph yet?

[violet pike]

or 16GB memory and a 10-core CPU

[pure garnet]

hope everything goes well worm

[brittle trellis]

4k transcoded to 1080p by Plex is still going to be better than Netflix 1080p

[young void]

Yeah the day they took her this last thursday and that was lame btw. They asked me the same questions like 8 times and I failed one question so dude antagonized me for the last hour and a half and tried to convince me I did something I didnt do

Then let me go home and then cps took her that night

[slim pebble]

Any word from ASUS yet?

[warped mountain]

yeah this 10gbps feels slow to me. i must be jaded AF

[brittle trellis]

Why pay for Netflix if you have a NAS full of movies

[young void]

Called the detective in charge he said theres nothing more I can do and he cant help me

[brittle trellis]

Like I said earlier, you just have no idea what you're doing

[pure garnet]

[brittle trellis]

Streaming a movie is not the same as transferring it between drives

[wise bear]

wait cps full-on took her??

[warped mountain]

its free

[young void]

Yeah this is the longest ive ever went without her

[wise bear]

jfc

[brittle trellis]

and how is it free?

[slim pebble]

Now you understand why I’m all ASUS now, my repaired motherboard has been amazing.

[warped mountain]

this is more of a 2 day load, but yeah

[young void]

Anyways ive been trying realll hard to distract myself cause otherwise im just dyin

[warped mountain]

included in my phoen plan

[brittle trellis]

So it's not free

You're just on a phone plan that costs too much

[topaz veldt]

lol bro this is my 3rd or 4th RMA with ASUS that has been painless, so far.

[wise bear]

how does this guy have a legal ability to drive

how did this guy pass high school

[warped mountain]

1080p on a 3.2k screen cant look that great, how is teh HDR/DV

[brittle trellis]

The fuck is 3.2k

[warped mountain]

no you cnat remove it

[brittle trellis]

Speak in non-madeup terms, thanks

[warped mountain]

2800X1800

its advertised as 3.2k OLED
]

[slim pebble]

I’m a convert, it’s worth a little extra for support that works

[dawn plover]

ok I just went down this rabbit hole and the most complicated part is actually opening up the iPod. Parts are available and there's tons of documentation about this, cool

[topaz veldt]

Yeah have had no issues so far - hope this one finishes up well also

[torpid cargo]

3.2k would be 3200x2000

[pure garnet]

eoe.works is where i got all the stuff for mine

[brittle trellis]

Even streamed 4k is like max 24mbps

My great copy of top gun maverick is 15mbps in original 4k, not transcoded

You have absolutely no reason to be watching full quality Bluray rips on your laptop

[topaz veldt]

lol i love that this convo is STILL going

[wise bear]

its been going for FOUR DAYS

[pure garnet]

my 4k dv copy of oppenheimer is 17.6mbps

only contribution i’m making

[hoary hatch]

Both of my laptop RMAs were pretty painless

Now, the fact that I've had to RMA both Asus laptops is not reassuring

[merry stirrup]

😭

[wraith steeple]

[violet pike]

I don't think the "apple products cost too much" discourse really sank in for me until I was filling in the specs I was looking for just now and ended up with a $3,000+ ipad @wise bear

[merry stirrup]

thast is still les than 4 gigabit

[torpid cargo]

true, a lot less lol he doesn't need anything close to it

[pure garnet]

no bro he wanted gigabyte

[warped mountain]

Whoops my bad 3k
14" diagonal, 3K (2880 x 1800), OLED, multitouch-enabled, 48-120 Hz, 0.2 ms response time, UWVA, edge-to-edge glass, HDR 500 nits

[warped mountain]

Why is it so small? Does it have surround sound, Dolby vision, etc?

[warped mountain]

👀 thats what I do tho 💀

[brittle trellis]

As already established. Yes you do, with your current stupid setup. You will not be doing this when you have a NAS and Plex running on it

You won't be doing this because it is stupid to do.

[torpid cargo]

I do this with plex lol

[brittle trellis]

No DV because not all the users have it

[warped mountain]

HDR10 then?

[warped mountain]

im im in teh RV wouldnt i just stream orignal quality to my laptop/ phone?

[pure garnet]

if you’re in the rv why not use a tv

[warped mountain]

like away from the RV maybe, but i get annoyed when things dont look life like

[brittle trellis]

If you're in the trailer, yeah, sure. Do whatever.

[warped mountain]

laptop screen is WAYYYYY better than RV screen

[pure garnet]

what

[brittle trellis]

Skill issue

[pure garnet]

buy a tv ????

[warped mountain]

th rv TV woudl make you cry... no bull shit

[brittle trellis]

But still at maximum Bluray quality, it's still like 100mbps max and that isn't an issue at all

Because you're streaming it, not transferring it and then watching it

[warped mountain]

know of any good 24 inch Mini LED / OLED tv's ? that are built well?

i have to change teh mount ... its not standard VESA for some reason

i was thinking maybe monitior?

[brittle trellis]

24 inch???

[warped mountain]

yes

[brittle trellis]

You need to rebuild the inside of that place if you don't have room for at least a 40 somewhere

Just get an OLED monitor

[warped mountain]

i mean i can put a 40 over the window in the dining area... but your gonna have to look kinda down to see it

[brittle trellis]

27 inch Samsung G8 or something

[warped mountain]

litertally what i am thinking TBH

[brittle trellis]

Ideally a 32-34 though

[warped mountain]

Tandem OLED made it to monitiors yet?

[warped mountain]

ill have to look but then it wil hnag over teh walkway i think. my 27 inch ROG IPS Swift looked liek it would BARELY fit

[brittle trellis]

21:9 even better so you're using the whole thing when watching movies

The 34 inch G8

Can't mount it hanging from the ceiling above the end of the bed?

[warped mountain]

No that's how u get into the bed 😭

[brittle trellis]

You should get a bigger trailer, this sounds like hell I've seen vans set up better

[warped mountain]

I have a picture somewhere

[young void]

https://tenor.com/view/j-o-r-g-e-gif-1785865943195498080

Lol what is thiss

[warped mountain]

No I don't have a picture , it's mostly full of cabinets for storage and whatnot

[edgy laurel]

thats not a thing. there is no market for high quality panels that small, especially no TV's. Not even any monitors that i'm aware of. 27" 1440, 27" 4K, 32" 4K, 34" 21:9 3440x1440 are your options.

[brittle trellis]

If I had to take a random guess, something Russianbadger made a while ago

[warped mountain]

Hmm probably 27 inch 4k OLED. Tempted to go mini LED, because sometimes the Sun comes through the skylight and hits it at the angle. Butt I don't want blooming.

[edgy laurel]

no you aren't

[fringe vigil]

im getting c5 so what you on about

[edgy laurel]

what does that have to do with you being an HDR enthusiast today

[fringe vigil]

bec im going to calibrate my c5 for hdr gaming and watching movies

I have the money /j

[torpid cargo]

I've been gone for a while

[edgy laurel]

not enough

[whole coral]

True

[hoary hatch]

Okay but like....LG WOLED is essentially this

[warped mountain]

I presume this is mini LED, but with less blooming?

[torpid cargo]

uhh no it's not

[edgy laurel]

no

[whole coral]

MicroLED is better than miniLED

[hoary hatch]

Is WOLED not 4 color strips

[edgy laurel]

and you haven't been looking at very good MiniLED panels if all you think about is blooming.

[whole coral]

But it’s more expensive to manufacture

[torpid cargo]

I almost got a microled tv. but price is just still a little too much

[livid flame]

NanoLED is the future

[hoary hatch]

Oh fuck is WOLED color filters

[warped mountain]

It's all my eyes are drawn to 😔😭 it sucks. Even on the MBP I noticed it without looking for it.

[edgy laurel]

MicroLED exists and is absurdly expensive. There is no LCD, the image is made up of literal micro RGB LED's

[warped mountain]

I think I just watch a lot of like dark and grungy scenes in movies and stuff.

[hoary hatch]

[warped mountain]

Huh . Could buy that or have two of my trucks and a year of fuel 👀

[warped mountain]

Don't worry they offer financing 💀

[steel stream]

bro teeny tiny

[warped mountain]

Just Klarna it 🤣

[brittle trellis]

@warped mountain https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mw6bBq this plus the 6 28TB drives will work great. the cpu should transcode your single Plex stream fine when not using original quality, and there's plenty of pcie for a GPU (if ever needed), HBA (for when you go beyond 6 drives), or network card if more speed is required in the future.

[steel stream]

there's a few

already

[dusty lotus]

microled are micro leds, miniled is an lcd with a fancy backlight

[whole coral]

I would honestly say MicroLED is closest to the perfect display

[torpid cargo]

the issue with microled right now is you can see the seams

[whole coral]

It comes at a big cost though

[torpid cargo]

other than cost of course

[warped mountain]

I'll be home in like 10 minutes and I'll take a peek at this I got to make sure that that case fits in one of the available areas.

[edgy laurel]

these MicroLED sets are bananas https://www.cseed.com/en.html

[brittle trellis]

It's basically your only option

*For the case

It's the smallest thing in stock with any real amount of drive bays

[pure garnet]

i would look into replacing it but meh it works

[steel stream]

yeah this was just epeen flex tbh

[pure garnet]

hdr matches so

[edgy laurel]

lemme see your Interstellar. trying to work something out, because these bitrates are higher than the raw Bluerays I have access too. Hope someone isn't just pumping bitrate for big files sizes to give the look of quality

[pure garnet]

doubt it's a colossal difference

[whole coral]

100,000 hours. Definitely possible

[steel stream]

some of mine are fan masters, but I get them from one specific person who i think does a pretty good job

[pure garnet]

i think i gotta replace this though

[edgy laurel]

My C2 is on 9-15 hours a day and has been since Jan 2023, its at ~12k hours. In 100k hours it will have outlived its usefulness and i'll have something else

[whole coral]

True

[steel stream]

trying to see if there is a way to disable DV on the G5 lol

[torpid cargo]

my interstellar is 66mbps direct rip

[steel stream]

just seems dim compared to HDR files I have

Tron Legacy looks good though

[edgy laurel]

yeah so the "premium" internal release only from my.. source..

DoVi/HDR10 is variable but ~38Mb/s

[steel stream]

damn

[edgy laurel]

includes the whole ffmpeg string and frame perfect source vs. encode PNG's for comparison

so its got me wondering is it actually bad? or is there some black magic going on here that he's able to tune it so well

[steel stream]

if there was an easy way to share my giant file I would and we could do some comparisons but

[torpid cargo]

I mean it doesn't actually have dolby vision most likely

[steel stream]

I think Interstellar blu-rays also don't have atmos

[young void]

Black magics

[torpid cargo]

yeah its 5.1

[whole coral]

Lmao imagine how expensive that would be

[thick tide]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/GGTM/saved/fbNPgs

[steel stream]

yeah mine has an atmos track up/fan mix

[whole coral]

NanoLED TV. Nano is smaller than Micro

[thick tide]

hows this

[steel stream]

which I enjoy so I don't mind

[edgy laurel]

there are multiple to choose from, i'm trying to not say too much but the people here don't fuck around. this particular one has the DTS-HD MA track

[steel stream]

oh i have not tried playing a DTS-HD MA track yet

[frank zealot]

See if you can save a bit extra to get the 16gb gpu

[edgy laurel]

HDR...........: Dolby Vision, dvhe.08.06, BL+RPU / HDR10

[torpid cargo]

I have that from the direct rip

[torpid cargo]

What I'm saying is the original doesn't have dolby vision

[frank zealot]

More and more titles today suffer with only 8gb

[steel stream]

I love when Plex's automatic quality is greater than the bitrate of the source file

[thick tide]

noted

[young void]

Hmmm

Shipped

[warped mountain]

And here is the 24 mounted.

[frank zealot]

Otherwise solid build overall

[edgy laurel]

thats the raw bd

[pure garnet]

wtf is a jensen tv bro

[thick tide]

sick

[steel stream]

well shit, Plex is playing my DTS HD MA files as stereo

[arctic bronze]

thats an old ass tv

[frank zealot]

I'm sure some people can nitpick, but it's solid overall

[thick tide]

no mobo issues? I had someone else say that ASRock had some problems

[edgy laurel]

at ~70Mb/s actually the video only track is 51Mb/s, straight from the BD

[pure garnet]

supposedly they do but at the same time nothing concrete has came from anyone reputable

[frank zealot]

Asrock is pretty good. There may be concerns with x3d chips, but you're not getting one

[warped mountain]

3 spaces
#2 is just above #1, but basically will have no regular access, and will be huffing dust/basement heat. #1 is long, but no Ventilation, can drill holes from #2 area
#3 I would prefer to keep the overall height below the door that way I can still have storage.

[pure garnet]

the only real reports are people on r/asrock

[low sorrel]

@merry stirrup I have officially corrupted my windows install

[warped mountain]

And number 3

[brisk jolt]

its still a relatively rare thing to happen

[steel stream]

Guess I gotta find a new rip of Baby Driver with atmos

[brisk jolt]

prob some gaps in the QC

[low sorrel]

7500f is the basically the same cpu for a bit less if you wanna save money

else you're chilling

[steel stream]

congrats. nice. happy for you.

hey what channel or space would be the best to ask upgrade based questions. havent changed my system since 2018 ?

[edgy laurel]

just lemme know 😉

ah thanks 🙂 !

[fringe vigil]

samsung E1720 cant wait to game on this

[steel stream]

I think I can manage to find one, but thanks lol

[torpid cargo]

Interstellar, seems close to yours

[steel stream]

Also Dolby Vision Vivid is the only one that matches HDR10 with DTM

[steel stream]

it pains me to run my TV like that

[edgy laurel]

is that a thing?

oh, it a TV setting

[steel stream]

Yeah, you know how you have game, filmmaker, standard, cinema when in HDR? DOlby Vision is the same

[edgy laurel]

Ahh, ok. clearly i've not taken much advantage of DV content

[steel stream]

but Dolby Vision filmmaker mode seems awfully dim

[edgy laurel]

on this display

[steel stream]

honestly don't recommend

[edgy laurel]

it didn't reset your pixel brightness?

[steel stream]

nah

[edgy laurel]

you know, end of the day, "optimal" only goes so far if you simply prefer it another way

[warped mountain]

Probably going into spot 2, I wonder if you can drill through the bottom to easily mount it 🤔

[low sorrel]

I've never seen anything in DV

[steel stream]

yeah lol

i'll keep it in filmmaker for standard HDR content, but I might switch between filmmaker and vivid for DV

[shell void]

you enjoying the dynamic tonemapping light cannon mode brother akn?

[steel stream]

(I should note I've turned off all bullshit stuff in vivid i can find)

[steel stream]

interstellar looks fucking great man

[shell void]

dont worry we might be able to replicate what you see on your G5 with monitors released in 2032 or something

yes

[low sorrel]

Oh shit

[torpid cargo]

I just want the Bravia 8 II in a bigger size

[low sorrel]

akn how much you wanna bet me just pressing the windows reset instead of trying to find my USB stick will cause me more headaches in the future

it doesnt seem like a defect

[low sorrel]

Uhh shits been at 99% for a good 5 minutes now

[pure garnet]

yeah bro it blew up

why is your mic at that level

[low sorrel]

Ah ok

[low sorrel]

I short

[pure garnet]

are you playing looking up at the monitor or something

[edgy laurel]

do you sit on the floor?

also that LED on the mic has to be distracting

[low sorrel]

No but seriously it's because I set it down to place my headset

[low sorrel]

It is

[torpid cargo]

it's only not HEDT cause it's primarily for gaming

[warped mountain]

oh dear
i guess bypassnro is gone on this installation build?

[low sorrel]

@wise bear what was that one desktop background you sent?

[low sorrel]

Oh figured it out you have to click work or school instead of personal

msi what is this lame ass dark pattern why do i have to hit cancel instead of next after i press the X

[dapper junco]

Oh yea, then domain join right?
This is now the new cmd route

[low sorrel]

Yep

anyone knows if tandem oled monitors is officially for sale yet?

[low sorrel]

@edgy laurel my windows is still fucked

[edgy laurel]

yes

[warped mountain]

I though the headlines said building PC was more expensive than the first BTC surge when it hit $30,000 ?

[low sorrel]

ugh shoulda done it the right way the first time

[dapper junco]

Yes, the LG one is on sale right now

[warped mountain]

Yes 1440p ones I saw at 27 inch

[dapper junco]

LG 27GX700A

[grim fulcrum]

hm interesting, maybe my local market doesnt have it yet then

pulled the plug on a qd oled yesterday, hopefully tandem oled doesnt come that fast

[edgy laurel]

Gigabyte MO27Q28G
Asus XG27AQWMG

I guess "for sale" is not quite accurate, you can't buy these in the US at least. elsewhere it seems you can get your hands on them

[warped mountain]

I wanna know how Lenovo gets DisplayHDR™ TrueBlack 1000 on their tandem, seems like everyone else can only achieve HDR true black 500

[grim fulcrum]

cant find those models sadly

maybe my local market just dont have it

saw the rog swift 1440p review and it looks kinda nice

the new 321URX i got probably will still be good but cant deny id like the 500hz

[dapper junco]

non US and EU markets usually got the new releases a while later

[grim fulcrum]

guess ill be waiting for my bonus for a bit more

[edgy laurel]

pretty much all laptops https://displayhdr.org/certified-products/#tab-true-black-1000

[dapper junco]

Like the LG tandem is also not on sale in my country as well, so yea, you gotta wait

[grim fulcrum]

alrighty thanks

ill enjoy my new qd oled in the meantime, upgrading from a 1440p VA 170hz

“We’re cutting Radeon”

I don't think I did?

[brittle trellis]

Then you've got the wrong list, not the last one I sent

[warped mountain]

Oh ok

[brittle trellis]

Oh eait

Weird, it loaded the wrong list the first time I clicked it

[warped mountain]

#tech-chat-2 message no?

[brittle trellis]

Also wrong hard drives

[warped mountain]

Will they not work? Seems like a pretty amazing deal vs refirb

[brittle trellis]

24tb for 250 is a bad deal and you'll have to expand more often

There is nothing wrong with the recert drives

[warped mountain]

Wait r they shingled?

[brittle trellis]

Bro it's not 2004

They're normal CMR drives

[warped mountain]

The ones I chose? Why were they the cheapest 24 TB?

[brittle trellis]

I'm talking about the 28tb drives

I do not recommend the 24tb drives, they're a waste of time and money. They're also barracuda, not even ironwolf or exos

[warped mountain]

Guess which one died @10 months then was replaced by a drive that lasted 6 ..

[shell void]

[brittle trellis]

There's are older than some people in this server

[turbid locust]

me when I buy random ahh drives and get surprised when they die

[brittle trellis]

They're all consumer barracuda drives

Exos is enterprise

[warped mountain]

Wym random? These were top of line at purchase

[hoary hatch]

Extreme ewaste

[brittle trellis]

Barracuda was never top of the line buddy

[warped mountain]

All right let me fix the list

[warped mountain]

The best offered in 2008 as far as size

[brittle trellis]

6 of the 28tb drives from the eBay listing I said. Nothing else.

[hoary hatch]

Barracuda 3tb
Essential for keeping your data """safe"""

[indigo walrus]

They're all Seagate drives, so my answer is "yes." 🤣 (I've been burned too many times by Seagate.)

[brittle trellis]

Best consumer drive maybe.

[shell void]

HGST was the king and then WD absorbed them so now WD is king

[hoary hatch]

I think Samsung HDD were also looked favorably upon

[shell void]

i still have a few 2TB HGST drives from 2012 that last i checked had zero smart errors

[warped mountain]

My white label WDS and my red label WD are doing amazing.

[shell void]

if only this prediction became true 🥀

[warped mountain]

Should I worry about this with the case being hard mounted?

[shell void]

ssds were so cheap in 2022-2023 and then kaboomed and havent come back down

[brittle trellis]

Don't hard mount it. Like I said earlier, make sure it's got some padding.

And also they're designed to run in servers with tens of them

In a rack with multiple more of the same server

[brittle trellis]

Case drive bays generally have rubber in the actual drive mounting, for the whole case itself, mount it with some rubber

[pure garnet]

guys i need a 45 ssd nas

10 minutes for a 50gb file is too long

jellyfin on my 7500t will probably take 30 min to process it anyway

[warped mountain]

Crazy that all this is only 35TB ... And the other 25TB is all SSD 💀

[arctic bronze]

same, all has to be at least 4tb each

[warped mountain]

Yo guys can someone help me

[warped mountain]

So in theory I can cut the bottom box out but then I lose that storage area and the bigger issue is I will never be able to reach the case because that is legitimately over 4 ft down... I could also say fuck it and put it in the actual basement though... That it's going to be a VERY hard life for the system, ambience could be over 120 F

Thank u so much bro

[ripe needle]

@young void how bad is it if my cpu melts my mobo vrms 😭

[frank zealot]

Most people asking for help on this server are beyond our help

[ripe needle]

I think thats been the issue with my pc

[frank zealot]

They can't under any remotely normal conditions

[ripe needle]

I have an i7-12700f and the mobo i have is only recommended for low end i5’s 😭

[frank zealot]

You're gonna throttle that cpu

[ripe needle]

What that mean?

[frank zealot]

Although the 12700 non-k isn't that high a power draw

[ripe needle]

Its genuinely what the prebuilt company put together 💀

I think the vrms are getting melted tho

[frank zealot]

What board

[ripe needle]

Not even the first time either

[young void]

You'd have to show us a pic in all seriousness

[ripe needle]

Asrock b660m-c (good luck finding information)

[young void]

Curious though

[edgy laurel]

https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/B660M-C/index.us.asp

[pure garnet]

lucky guilty

[young void]

Better then those ali boards miners where snagging

Then having the hardest time with lmao

[edgy laurel]

real lucky alright

[warped mountain]

17TB more here, then another 6TB in the Lenovo, and somewhere around here is a naked 2TB 980 Pro m.2.

So 60TB total, free space is 6TB across everything

[ripe needle]

I meant information not directly from Asrock

[frank zealot]

Tf

[ripe needle]

I dont even think its on the consumer market, i only see it in prebuilts

[frank zealot]

Oem boards exist, yes. This isn't news.

[ripe needle]

And it freaking sucks

[young void]

Amen

[ripe needle]

This is the second time ive had the same mobo die

[frank zealot]

That board does support the 12700

[ripe needle]

They replaced the old and it died

[ripe needle]

Maybe its memory incompatibility?

[frank zealot]

The 12700f is only a 65w part. It's not that power hungry

[ripe needle]

I mean it has to be the mobo right?

My pc wont even power on anymore 💀

[frank zealot]

Dunno, but you can't melt the vrm's.
They have a limit, and when you get to that, they stop making more power

[pure garnet]

it was sold retail

[frank zealot]

Or it's user error

[pure garnet]

7 phase vrm isn't melting with a 12700f that's just insanity

[ripe needle]

Doubt

[pure garnet]

i wouldn't run a 14900k on it but it would be fine

[ripe needle]

This is the second time its happened

[frank zealot]

You haven't made me confident that you're that good at this

[ripe needle]

I haven’t done anything to make it die tho 😭

[frank zealot]

They claim it will run a 14900ks lol

[warped mountain]

How hot can the environment be? She fits... Barely, obviously I'll have to move the wires and stuff.. my inverter upgrade were supposed to go down there.

[brisk jolt]

it will walk or run but it wont fly

[pure garnet]

it probably would at intel default settings

wouldn't run well but it would run

[ripe needle]

@frank zealot Would you like me to explain the scenario of what happened?

[frank zealot]

Nah, it'd cap out way before that lol

[warped mountain]

Final spot is the bottom of this closet . But she is gonna struggle to breath

[brisk jolt]

imagine if its just the mobo 24 pin coming loose on the PSU side

[ripe needle]

How would i check that?

[brisk jolt]

you push the cable in to the connections

ensuring that its snug

[warped mountain]

To make sure that I never EVER make this mistake again... This drive is total trash because it's QLC or because it doesn't have DRAM?

[young void]

Wait is AI giving me fomo rn lol

[warped mountain]

I just buy "pro" after my experience with this $600 POS

[young void]

Thats funnyyy got me with a sneaky

[ripe needle]

Its very snug

But how do i get to my psu?

[brisk jolt]

open the back panel

I found a dead fly 💀

ITS ALIVE

https://tenor.com/view/dexter-erik-king-james-doakes-surprise-motherfucker-surprise-gif-4719446

[brittle trellis]

Drill some holes then

It was gonna struggle to breathe in any of these spaces

[ripe needle]

I dont have a modular psu

I did find out i have a hard drive bay tho

[dapper junco]

It's QLC methinks
spec sheet said this still has dram cache

[low sorrel]

qvo is qlc afaik

[dapper junco]

Yep

[gentle gale]

it's qlc
good dramless drives are fine for 99% of people

[warped mountain]

Vent nest to the mattress, but ... That mean she's going to live her whole life with a bunch of clothes on top of her 🫤

[ripe needle]

Is bed bad place for tempered glass?

[warped mountain]

It's the QLC that makes it slow above 40% full?

[teal orbit]

are you planning on sleeping with your pc

[ripe needle]

Yes

[warped mountain]

Really?? Hmm if I remember correctly it has like a variable cash and as you fill the drive up that cash disappears and then you fault about 80 Meg per second write on a drive rated at 550 😬. Even if you're not just doing big disc rights you really can feel the lack of write speed. Especially if OS drive 💀

[dapper junco]

Yea it does

[teal orbit]

variable cash is called a stock market

[ripe needle]

Ugly ahh pc

[dapper junco]

but on the spec sheet it still has a physical 1gb lpddr4 cache

[ripe needle]

What are the chances its my psu and not mobo? 🤔

[warped mountain]

Question solo

This drive was determined to be QLC the other night, is that also why it's behaving like I typically see a dying drive? #tech-chat-2 message

[teal orbit]

wdym by melted

[warped mountain]

That makes sense the drive starts with almost 80 gigs of cash and then it just disappears. And yep falls to 140MB/s. I still can't believe that this drive was only $100 cheaper than the PRO.

Hell my my books from Best buy do 180 MB/s

[gentle gale]

yeah

[warped mountain]

Thanks

[dapper junco]

Yep, that sounds correct, tomshw's review noted the same behaviour

[warped mountain]

Okay, it was getting so bad I was actually getting like errors, like Discord crash three times it was bad.

[warped mountain]

Yep, though I wonder if they tested at 95% capacity cuz it definitely did not gain any cache back at that level.

[dapper junco]

lemme throw the review link for you, that's just the cap of the first test result

[warped mountain]

It's okay don't worry about it I won't buy another one in the future 💀

[dapper junco]

Yea, early QLC was really some horrid things

[warped mountain]

Well and according to my experience with my brand new laptop the modern ones aren't any better 😭

[dapper junco]

Understandable tbh

[warped mountain]

Micron 2400 ... In a $1,699 laptop ... Someone signed off on that 🤦

[pure garnet]

that's not that much by ultrabook standards

and yeah qlc isn't an issue for 90% of people

[warped mountain]

#tech-chat-2 message

This is it slowing to a crawl while web browsing, the system went a jello.

[warped mountain]

It's not really an ultra book tho.

Is this a "high quality" rip?

[teal orbit]

rip like from a blu ray?

[warped mountain]

Yesss we can call it that 😅

[teal orbit]

what

[warped mountain]

Sure

I am not able to confirm or deny the source at this time

[teal orbit]

the answer would change significantly if it was ripped from a streaming service...

[warped mountain]

Oh no from original source

[teal orbit]

i would say high quality would be whatever the source is, without reencoding it

[warped mountain]

Only thing I saw was 8 bit, when it should be 10 bit.

[teal orbit]

is it HDR?

8 bits is fine for sdr

[frank zealot]

24gb for 15 minutes is a shit ton of data

Basic blu ray disc's were only 25gb

So unless that source is 8k I have questions

[pure garnet]

what content is filmed in 60fps too

that looks like you had fun with the encoder settings more than anything

[ripe needle]

I fixed my pc

[warped mountain]

Oh whoops I got distracted, it's 5k go pro footage

Soo this drive is probably dead huh?

I don't think I wrote 600TB to it

This is WIERD, how do I get 2TB from a 1TB drive?

[ripe needle]

Either a defect or a drive pretending to be something its not

[warped mountain]

So it's out there trying to read this drive and explore for like 40 minutes.. it didn't but I don't remember killing this drive.. so I took it over to the mac and it immediately pulled up with the drives name since I custom name my drives.. now I'm back on Windows and I'm going to attempt to file transfer to it.

Unfortunately I'm using the HP so it's hard to tell if 20 MB/s is the HP drive read speed or the SSD dying

Unless this drive has way worse performance than I remember, this looks like the drive is dying to me?

Paused the file transfer, changed ports to the thunderbolt controller...

I don't know what to believe at this point

[warped mountain]

No way a USB 10Gbps port was the bottle neck

Pause transfer again swap drive back to 10 gig port. Running 300MB/s. Now I do have the drive naked so it might be getting a little bit warm on the chips

Gawd damnit, spoke too soon 🫤

Okay wtf is with this bipolor drive. Now we are getting closer to the 800-950 MB/s I expect.

[raven citrus]

could the amd bc-250 just fit into a regular pc

[brisk jolt]

sorry lads our 5090s are just entry level cards

[green marsh]

i guess for LLM you could say that 😄

i mean compared to A100 80GB or RTX A6000 with 48GB, the 5090 with 32GB is entry level /s

this is what he has

[livid flame]

Entry level 4k gaming

If ya need DLSS, ya entry level

[livid flame]

I prefer this one

[turbid locust]

Why did I wake up completely wide awake at 4am

been sitting here for an hour

[wraith steeple]

Just got home from work

[gaunt plinth]

First time?

[fervent elm]

Somebody just stepped on your grave

[wraith steeple]

[turbid locust]

unfortunately no it’s just that this usually happens at the start of the sleep and not towards the end

[gaunt plinth]

Mmm

[topaz veldt]

Had a few of those this week - waking up wide awake at like 330

[gaunt plinth]

I wake up at 3-5am if I go to sleep at 8-9pm

Cant say waking up at those times has actually felt good lately

[topaz veldt]

The earliest I could possibly go to bed is about 10, but often later as my kids usually have trouble staying asleep

[karmic folio]

10pm is wild

actually not really

fell asleep a few times on vacation before 10 but then ended up sleeping like 12 hours

[turbid locust]

I got home from work late, and then fell asleep around midnight

Woke up at 4am feeling more refreshed than any 8 hour sleep I’ve ever gotten

But I know I’m just gonna hard crash at 2pm today

[ripe needle]

Yo Mac

[turbid locust]

Yo Chase

[ripe needle]

Did i tell you that my pc died?

[turbid locust]

nope

[ripe needle]

Well i revived it yesterday

[turbid locust]

swag

[ripe needle]

The issue was the cmos battery slot sucked

And it was causing what i assumed is a short

[cloud barn]

i am wanting to upgrade my 3060 ti to a 5070 i can get slightly better deal on a gigabyte gaming oc vs an asus tuf oc. anyone have recommendation on this?

[turbid locust]

A 5070, for all intents and purposes, is a 5070

[brisk jolt]

wow really

[topaz veldt]

Is a 5070 that bad

Remember when the xx70 was like legit usable and only top tier went xx80 or 90

[livid flame]

Remember when your performance doubled going from top tier of one gen to bottom of the stack in the next gen?

Those were the days

[brittle trellis]

You must be ancient because that hasn't happened in any even remotely recent generation change

[solid pelican]

so my current psu does not have its own 16 pin connector for my gpu and im wondering what to do since the 5070 uses a 16 pin connector

[livid flame]

My first non pre-loaded game was DOOM floppy diskettes

Second was duke nukem

There are people in here who will remember further back than I

[livid flame]

Adapter cable for PCIe to 12vhpwr/6+2

[solid pelican]

does the gpu come with that?

[livid flame]

Probably need 3 separate cables / 6 connections but not sure for a 5070. Edit; just to clarify you will only use 3 of the connections. Cables should always come with 2 connections for pcie

IIRC AIBs still bundle it

[livid flame]

Tbh we had a BBC Nimbus at my school that we had to put a 5.25inch floppy in to load up Snake. That would have been amazing as a kid I bet

It’s probably the lowest spec conventional PC I have used.

[topaz veldt]

No i remember having to SLI shit lol

[livid flame]

I remember crossfire for my 4770s. Those were some fun days

I never tried SLI

[cloud barn]

@turbid locust thanks, you were extremely helpful

......

[topaz veldt]

I had tri and quad SLI

this was like GTX 275-285 days

then I got the GTX 295 Co-ops in SLI which were 2 GPUs on one PCB

So it was quad-SLI on 2 GPUs

[turbid locust]

I was being serious

you will have the exact same experience with either card

it does not matter

[cloud barn]

i know not all brands are equal lol

[edgy laurel]

Yes.

[solid pelican]

ok

[topaz veldt]

I just want to know how jorj smoked his FE cable

[green pecan]

is there a way to turn off rgb fans of my cpu cooler through general software?

[edgy laurel]

Is the RGB/ARGB of the cooler plugged into a header on the board?

[green pecan]

yes

[edgy laurel]

unplug it

[green pecan]

no other way?

[edgy laurel]

I mean, sure, you can mess around with OpenRGB or SignalRGB but thats the same result with more steps

[oak vector]

That turns the whole fan off 💔

[green pecan]

i know, I'm just too lazy to fiddle around the case

[edgy laurel]

If you don't want lights turned on, simply don't plug them in to begin with...

[green pecan]

i thought I'd like them

[oak vector]

Oh wait yeah Argb I forgor

[edgy laurel]

what

[oak vector]

Don’t mind me it’s late 😔

[edgy laurel]

its 8:30 in the morning here

[green pecan]

7pm

[turbid locust]

any of the known gpu brands pretty much are

none of the differences would matter on a 5070

[green pecan]

anyways, ty for this hope you have a pleasant day

[brittle trellis]

Unplugging the RGB header should not stop the fan from working...

If it does, you need fans that aren't stupid

[oak vector]

I know I know I forgot 🙏 😭

[edgy laurel]

what thermal paste should I get?

[turbid locust]

Guilty it’s not even 9am

[edgy laurel]

I aim to please

[fringe vigil]

❓

[frank zealot]

Will I bottleneck?

[edgy laurel]

ok now thats a low blow

[frank zealot]

If I buy a second GPU, can I use both?

[turbid locust]

Yes

[topaz veldt]

Guys quick, we have like 3 more hourse until NAS laptop guy comes online

[odd sable]

yes*

[frank zealot]

I need a 4GB/s NAS using 10 HDDs

[odd sable]

that is technically possible

so long as you dont need to do sync writes at 4GB/s, and have enough RAM to hold everything in the cache

[frank zealot]

Were you involved in this conversation yestday and prior?

[odd sable]

no

[lapis socket]

[odd sable]

i haven't been super active on discord for the last bit over a week while ive been in Europe

[gilded quail]

try a different hdmi cable?

[edgy laurel]

consider yourself lucky

[odd sable]

can i get a TLDR of what went down?

[lapis socket]

it does it on the dp cable too

[gilded quail]

What about on a different monitor?

[lapis socket]

other monitor is fine

[gilded quail]

Sounds like a monitor issue then.

[frank zealot]

dude wants a NAS that's accessible over thunderbolt, and is at least as fast as a 20gb/s thunderbolt SSD

Running 10 HDDs and can move hundreds of GB at a time

[odd sable]

"NAS ... over thunderbolt" doesn't work by itself

at best thats DAS

[frank zealot]

which we tried to say at least 50 times

[dawn plover]

are we still talking about this? omg

[gilded quail]

I power my nas directly to my electrical panel

[frank zealot]

at this point it's graduating to meme status

[dawn plover]

https://tenor.com/view/forrest-gump-tom-hanks-bearded-gif-11952701

[odd sable]

i wasn't here to see it, so, im mostly just hearing about the idiocy that went on

but you can get 10 HDDs to do 20gb/s, sequential, striped, dont try randoms

anyway, sounds like you had a fun time with an idiot

[edgy laurel]

You missed the week of trying to explain every little aspect of laptops to them

[odd sable]

heh

[edgy laurel]

and their agonizing decision on which to buy

[dawn plover]

I was barely there for the convo yesterday to be fair

[odd sable]

did they go with a macbook?

[odd sable]

ok, hear me out here, thundbolt to pcie to 100gbe to my NAS

[edgy laurel]

I think so? but they also kept taking pictures of the screen (can't figure out screenshots) of multiple windows laptops too so honestly who knows

[odd sable]

now, my NAS doesnt have 10HDDs, but that would technically be a 4GB/s (actually more) NAS over thunderbolt

[edgy laurel]

Its a student, they've got a collection of USB SSD's that are seemingly filled with movie files and for some reason they need to shuffle them around all the time. No one can figure out why.

[dawn plover]

massive homework folder? who knows lol

[brittle trellis]

Wanted, he was eventually educated and now seems to realise what he actually needs

[frank zealot]

it still took entirely too long to get there

if 10 tech people in a row tell you "That's not possible" maybe take a hint

[brittle trellis]

Tbh it didn't seem like y'all actually tried very hard for the first few days

[odd sable]

no comment

yes i actually use "homework" as my ZFS pool name, fight me

[frank zealot]

he claims to take hundreds of GB of video and photos annually.

[odd sable]

also, this was right after recreating my zfs pool, its actually got data on it now

[brittle trellis]

You're behind, it's just a very poorly managed Bluray rip collection

[fringe vigil]

Why’s my card metal all brown

[odd sable]

ripped by someone else, probably

[edgy laurel]

I know

[brittle trellis]

also student? They're definitely not a student

[frank zealot]

Student of the female form?

[edgy laurel]

They are, and discussed their classes many times last week

[topaz veldt]

You are missing the 9 days of laptop deliberation prior

[brittle trellis]

Interesting.... I missed that... They're not young, and clearly have money...

[edgy laurel]

its all a big mystery

[odd sable]

who was it? i may have caught some of this if its been the last 9 days

obv, dont ping

[brittle trellis]

koolcordell

[topaz veldt]

same person as the 4 GB/s NAS

[fringe vigil]

what do i put here in the nvidia email

[topaz veldt]

Your address

[fringe vigil]

no cus they ask my address below

[brittle trellis]

Your name

[fringe vigil]

ship to me mf

[odd sable]

yea, i think i did catch some of it

[fringe vigil]

no they asked that above

[edgy laurel]

maybe a larger screenshot so some context can be gathered

[edgy laurel]

thats still your name

don't overthink it

[fringe vigil]

nvidia cant even write

[topaz veldt]

bro its like.... mailing things 101 - you put your name and address

[whole coral]

Yeah. That’s easy

[fringe vigil]

well nvidia need to clearer

[topaz veldt]

Go ahead and let them know

[young void]

Basket cattt

[whole coral]

Verizon funding the Frontier deal. Not surprising

[fringe vigil]

sent

and they better hurry up and send me my stuff

[whole coral]

Not gonna lie I’m gonna be worried about what’s gonna happen after all these mergers and acquisitions

The Cox and Charter merge is a big one. $34.5B

[young void]

More monopoly probs

Higher pricesss, inner physchyy actin up

[whole coral]

Some people say the combined company could compete against Comcast better but honestly idk

[frank zealot]

monopolies don't benefit anyone but the people making money off monopolies.

[fringe vigil]

what has my life come to.. gaming on 30fps 1080p currently

[topaz veldt]

If its anything like the Broadcom VMware acquisition don't worry they'll literally screw everyone

[frank zealot]

isn't that the entire reason for the merger?

Screw everyone and make more money

[whole coral]

Cox has been a monopoly here since the 1980’s. I think they signed a franchise agreement with the cities so they had exclusive right-of-ways

[topaz veldt]

In the case of Broadcom it meant literally terminating existing contracts

AMD could never

[edgy laurel]

I like that the fan is inadvertently providing airflow over the GPU power connector

[topaz veldt]

You know... it wasn't until I took the AMD build apart that i noticed the dust on the cablemod cable cover and was like "oh that sucks" and then I thought "Actually... that doesn't suck"

[edgy laurel]

lol, yeah that can't hurt

[topaz veldt]

Yeah on one hand its semi hard to see the cable condition but on the other it surely helps keep the cable temp down

[whole coral]

Yep.

Also ISP monopolies naturally underinvest in their network
