and wanted some rgb

[topaz veldt]

5200 CL46 is kinda peak

[burnt socket]

cl46

[brisk jolt]

I dont see 5200, I only see 5600 C46

Lowest are 4800, but they dont state the cas latency

[fringe vigil]

Joe

Long time bro

[burnt socket]

what

[fringe vigil]

Long time since I’ve seen you here bro

[oak vector]

hi jorj

[fringe vigil]

Sup bunny

[ripe flicker]

is this okay?

[edgy laurel]

No one will know much if anythign about that particular display but its advertised as a normal 1440p IPS so i'm sure its "fine"

[fringe vigil]

[edgy laurel]

what currency is that

[topaz veldt]

never seen that one

[edgy laurel]

TIL

[topaz veldt]

damn

[grim fulcrum]

It’s here and it’s massive god damn

[edgy laurel]

32" baby monitor 😉

[wise bear]

[fringe vigil]

42 is the new 32 buddy

[wise bear]

I've awoken, what dummy am I scolding today

[grim fulcrum]

id love to go higher, but my desk simply isnt big enough

im on 27 inch rn

32 is basically gonna take up all the space

[turbid locust]

My P2S jumpscaring me every print I stg

It does like the little vibration/resonance check at the start of every print and the sound it makes sounds a lot like stepper motors skipping and grinding

PTSD from other printers is crazy

[topaz veldt]

lol

my kids pushed my printer closer to the wall

and one day i went to print and it was like oh my god

[whole coral]

Thanks for reminding me. Need my coffee

[shell void]

[turbid locust]

I am attempting to print a relatively complicated G305 Shell mod. Would be the most difficult print i've done on it so far, and really the most difficult print ive done on any printer

[topaz veldt]

lol

it looks like hands

[turbid locust]

I need a 33g G305 bro

[topaz veldt]

I do not like G305

[turbid locust]

I like the shape it was always the weight I didnt care for

[topaz veldt]

have you seen acetone smoothing?

[turbid locust]

Stock G305 was the heaviest mouse I could still tolerate

[topaz veldt]

I think G305 is like 90g but the plastic felt so meh to me

[turbid locust]

I have but assuming this is successful i'll probably lightly sand and just paint the final product

[topaz veldt]

Is it PLA?

[turbid locust]

ya

at least for now

[topaz veldt]

sanding PLA always smeared

and sanding PETG and ABS is impossible

I use PETG almost exclusively these days

[turbid locust]

I like PETG

I want to try different filaments though. I'd prefer to have this done in something light but rigid

[frank zealot]

someone figured out how to integrate their Bambu printer into Home Assistant... that's actually pretty baller

I’ve just published my first Home Assistant automation blueprint for Bambu Lab printers. It sends print finished notifications, fault alerts, snapshots, and includes critical alert windows, all with photos to your phone.
The GitHub repo is now live and can be imported directly into Home Assistant.
Version 1 is now available and a V2 update is already planned.
Import or review it here:
https://github.com/HallyAus/homeassistant-bambu-blueprints

[topaz veldt]

I do like the matte PLAs

Its funny I deployed HASS and never really saw the need

I cut over to matter enabled everythings and Google Home automations does everything

[steel stream]

how goes the printing Mac

[fringe vigil]

Yh

Or you could wall mount

[turbid locust]

So far so good. Just started something pretty complicated though.

[edgy laurel]

no top story on videocardz this morning?

[topaz veldt]

damn guilty

[edgy laurel]

listen i just wait for akn to give us the morning update

[steel stream]

uhhh MSI claw Windows Xbox edition has 5% less ram usage compared to normal windows

[edgy laurel]

sick

[steel stream]

it's slim pickings this AM

Maybe during the akn nightly news we will have better stories

[topaz veldt]

Here's my morning update

[brisk jolt]

Your putting the TUF in there if im not wrong?

[topaz veldt]

Yeah, TUF OC is going in the top

[brisk jolt]

That things gonna be lit

[topaz veldt]

Its a "flipped" layout

[brisk jolt]

Hm, makes sense since you're watercooling it

[topaz veldt]

no no

[brisk jolt]

no?

[topaz veldt]

This is all air cooled

[brisk jolt]

Oh damn, didnt figure that the TUF could fit in normally

[topaz veldt]

Yeah TUF will fit with room to spare

its only 348mm

[brisk jolt]

Why for the flip though?

[topaz veldt]

5090 master did not fit by like 3-4mm

[topaz veldt]

So if you don't flip, you need tall feet

[steel stream]

ok looking good

[brisk jolt]

I see

[topaz veldt]

Flipped means the TUF OC fans will be facing up

so it draws cool air from above

It'll be spitting the hot air out the sides of the heat sink/case, the CPU is reversed

so the CPU is intaking from the rear and exhausting out the front

[brisk jolt]

Oh, so what you mean is the TUF will be drawing air from above instead of from the bottom?

[topaz veldt]

Yep!

[brisk jolt]

I thought it'd be like the formd T1's flip kit where it'd intake from the motherboard area- Which sacrifices the GPU temps for better CPU temps, my apologies

[topaz veldt]

Yeah this is not a sandwich setup

Its large enough that it fits together like a small ATX box

but you can flip the mobo internals so that the CPU is "low"

[brisk jolt]

Honestly, my T1 is gonna be sitting for like 2 years in total, unless I swap the CH160 inside

[topaz veldt]

Normie

The prob with that layout is the hot GPU exhaust from the front most fan will get sucked into the CPU cooler

and the bottom is a little suffocated - he has the slightly taller feet

[livid flame]

That’s tight like a lorry turning right

[edgy laurel]

that layout was popular with NR200's. they'd do rear intake so GPU and CPU exhaust out the top

but NR200 didn't have front fans so that can work too for exhaust

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I won't have a front fan either

but it'll exhaust thru the front from the CPU cooler push

and it won't matter much as both the GPU and the CPU intake from outside the case

[frank zealot]

It seems that MSI "made" the 5060 Inspire, and then promptly stopped making it.

it's a single fan 145mm long 5060

[brisk jolt]

very inspirative indeed

[frank zealot]

like that looks awesome

SO TINY

it's actually shorter than an ITX Board, so it'll fit in damned near anything

[topaz veldt]

I guess

[frank zealot]

but it clearly existed... for like a week?
I can't find any proof of it existing anymore.

[steel stream]

should have made it a 60 Ti with 16GB

[topaz veldt]

there is no GPU shortage

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/there-is-no-war-in-ba-sing-se-avatar-the-last-airbender-atla-no-war-there-is-no-war-gif-15884087966518847999

there is no DRAM price increase

[topaz veldt]

this is bad

Micro Center is down to ONE air cooled card, an Astral

[steel stream]

damn

[topaz veldt]

same with Miami

down to just the Astral

I am telling you... we're gonna hit a 5090 shortage

[wise bear]

that zotac card looks fugly

[topaz veldt]

holy wow

[steel stream]

wdym bro they're so easy to get

[topaz veldt]

Sharonville OH has a Master Ice....

$3100 lol

[wise bear]

Aaand 5nail is gonna buy another 5090

[topaz veldt]

No

[turbid locust]

just lmk boss

[topaz veldt]

Micro Center doesn't mark up

so a 5090 Master Ice at $3099... means...

[steel stream]

selection by me

MI

[topaz veldt]

5090 Master Ice was $2650 for like 2 months

Now MC has it for $3099

[shell void]

i am fine with it going back up to $3100 because i paid $3000

[topaz veldt]

It was $2999 at launch

I think we're gonna see GPU prices go up

[shell void]

hopefully

[steel stream]

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-gpus-may-cost-10-more

[turbid locust]

I enjoy the fact this no longer effects me

[shell void]

can’t wait to sell my 5090 for $4000 and then buy a 6090

[topaz veldt]

It will only help you

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/bernie-mac-soulmen-gif-7329975459026185223

[wise bear]

most kids nowadays dont deserve a nice pc

[topaz veldt]

Yeah - its going to hit it all I think

[steel stream]

yeah, gotta hope this silent vBios doesn't shit itself I guess

[topaz veldt]

You are warranty you're fine

[topaz veldt]

@steel stream did you reflash the original

[steel stream]

nah not yet

[wise bear]

spheroid lover

[steel stream]

which was the best one

[turbid locust]

I liked the Cherry Cola a lot

[topaz veldt]

@turbid locust I took this for ya'll in Miami

[turbid locust]

anyways I couldnt find the TUF receipt for some reason but this was Aug 15th

[topaz veldt]

Yeah dude and this is GONE

[wise bear]

costco next to microcenter, based

[turbid locust]

feeling really good about my $1999 TUF rn lmao

[topaz veldt]

That MC is in a weird spot not gonna lie

Its cool because its new, but its weird

[steel stream]

you've got peak machine now

[turbid locust]

I'm still on the 14900k for now

[steel stream]

ah

[topaz veldt]

This Miami MC ... the "front" is like the "back" of every other business

[steel stream]

yeah was about to ask about what you were dailying

[turbid locust]

265K doesnt go in the main rig until it behaves

[steel stream]

oh what's it doing

[turbid locust]

(I still cant ram tune intel)

[steel stream]

solution just get Floppa to do it for you

[wise bear]

thats pretty much how the bestbuy looks here

[topaz veldt]

thats so weird

[turbid locust]

tbh I think it's my ram kit but

[topaz veldt]

In PA we have standards

[turbid locust]

cause 5nail said his god kit wouldnt do 9k either

[topaz veldt]

my 6000 CL26?

[turbid locust]

mhm

[topaz veldt]

Yah - though I didn't spend a ton of time, but if it doesn't like 15min 9000 CL46 I am done

[turbid locust]

yeah ive had nothing go past 7% in karhu lol

I would really like to not buy ram rn

[topaz veldt]

Don't

[turbid locust]

I'm gonna try my green sticks at some point this week

[topaz veldt]

I would try them in my 265K but this mITX is.... no

[steel stream]

this is what ours look like

[turbid locust]

they're supposedly stable at higher freq according to hwbot fellas

[topaz veldt]

yeah ours is older than that one

[steel stream]

i'm not too sure when this one was built

[turbid locust]

random folks in the parking lot

[pure garnet]

i wish i copied this

[turbid locust]

Ive done too many platform swaps to throw whatever new thing I get into the main

[topaz veldt]

reams of paper, I assure you

[wise bear]

I hope some old fuck chased after the google car going "I DONT WANT MY PICTURE TAKEN"

[pure garnet]

i’m doing it with the am5 board since it’s new from retail but

if sleep doesn’t work i’m selling every pc i own and buying a mac studio

[topaz veldt]

I am really tempted to get an AM5 mITX and 9800X3D

[steel stream]

Yeah I am not too sure when MI MC was built

[wise bear]

So do it

get that AM D

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-one-eyebrow-raised-rock-staring-the-rock-gif-22113367

[topaz veldt]

buuuuuuuut then that means I cannot go GPU-less in this

[turbid locust]

Idk why you guys use sleep

[topaz veldt]

because it'll be plex also

[topaz veldt]

yeah same I don't get this

[turbid locust]

I’ve never even once willingly used sleep

[topaz veldt]

First thing I do is disable sleep, monitor off 3 mins

[turbid locust]

just shut your fuckin system down

[topaz veldt]

I only use sleep when I reinstall windows and forget to edit

[steel stream]

Shut Down or Hibernate

[topaz veldt]

fuck a hibernate

[wise bear]

fuck hibernate

[steel stream]

damn

my bad guys

[wise bear]

hibernate is a waste of ssd space

[steel stream]

I like it for my laptop

[wise bear]

"yes lets write the contents of ram to the disk"

[steel stream]

I hibernate laptop and shutdown my PC most the time

[frank zealot]

nearly 400 bucks for the "upgrade" to a liquid cooler

[wise bear]

powercfg hibernate off

[turbid locust]

I just don’t understand the mentality of using sleep on systems that cold boot in 13 seconds

[steel stream]

yeah but when I use sleep my laptop cooks itself to death because it decided to update in my bag

[wise bear]

so turn it off

[pure garnet]

hitting local on international waters leads to some fire ads

[steel stream]

holy shit

[wise bear]

WOW thats ai af

[steel stream]

please buy it

[pure garnet]

because it’s convenient to leave things open

[wise bear]

yeah but windows resume

[pure garnet]

if the b850 works i’ll be on 6000 mcr off but i’d prefer my pc fully functional

[wise bear]

why do you have 6000 mcr cds

[topaz veldt]

a local dude got that Astral LC in like April, totally new builder, first build, and managed to break the AIO

[frank zealot]

holy shit, HOW

[wise bear]

how tf do you break an aio

[topaz veldt]

tried to make push fans pull fans or something

and the connector to the AIO is proprietary and it like ripped off

[edgy laurel]

on a cruise and you're surfing fs ads. real tc2 user

[wise bear]

moron

[frank zealot]

facepalm

[pure garnet]

i actually haven’t listened to them much

[topaz veldt]

Do you like cruises? I can't do it

[frank zealot]

I like cruises with groups of people.
Not as a "this is a vacation for me"

[wise bear]

if you go on a cruise solo you are very alone

[topaz veldt]

I get like really frustrated and not claustrophobic but like pent up

[wise bear]

I get like that if I'm away from home for too long

[steel stream]

5nail urges to strut and dance around in an open field like a gazelle

he can not be contained

[topaz veldt]

There is no openness

I can't manspread like I need

[wise bear]

Manspread Manfred

[steel stream]

My grandpa named Manfred does not manspread actually

[topaz veldt]

I just feel like... "Hello fellow cabin prisoner - yes, which of 3 pre-fabricated eating facilities will we choose to walk a ridiculously long hallway to this evening?"

[steel stream]

"Which enrichment activity would you like to participate in this evening?"

[frank zealot]

I did a cruise at the start of 2020 with a few dozen Rocky Horror people, and it was a ball.

We performed the show in Internation Waters, as far as we know, it was a first.

[pure garnet]

not my ideal vacation but i’m with family

[wise bear]

cruise ships are kinda like retirement homes prove me wrong

oh, except there's kids

[topaz veldt]

"Hi - I want to go on a vacation on a boat that feels nothing like a boat. I want all of the inconveniences of Queens NY apartment living while on a boat that really resembles nothing of a boat. What are your wares?"

[steel stream]

wasn't there an older couple that actually just bought like a lifelong cruise pass or smth for their retirement

[pure garnet]

the onboard ship activities aren’t all that entertaining today but we’ll be in port for most of it this week

so right now i’m just doing whatever

[edgy laurel]

what i've learned are some people are just cruise people. its a lifestyle.

[pure garnet]

there’s a guy i met who’s done 52 cruises in 2 years

[topaz veldt]

it totally is- I can't

[steel stream]

what the fuck

[pure garnet]

he works remote and somehow does his work on this wifi

[frank zealot]

Some people have figured out how to live on cruise ships instead of retirement homes?

Apparently the pricing is fairly comprable....

[steel stream]

https://cruise.blog/2024/06/couple-booked-51-back-back-cruises-instead-retiring-nursing-home yeah where we go

[topaz veldt]

Its gross though

[edgy laurel]

thats kinda cool, actually

[topaz veldt]

Its like living in an airport

[wise bear]

God forbid someone gets sick

the whole boat gets sick

[topaz veldt]

enter the poop cruise

[edgy laurel]

and we know how that goes..

[wise bear]

Cruise ships are floating alcohol reserves & petri dishes

[pure garnet]

there’s no bacon

[topaz veldt]

lol

[wise bear]

yar har fiddly dee I got the squirts at sea

[hoary hatch]

Time to swim to shore

[pure garnet]

the bahamas are to my right

[frank zealot]

I pissed off the side of the cruise ship just to do it

[edgy laurel]

oh well might as well drop the life rafts at that point

[wise bear]

tkitch now owns the ocean

[grim fulcrum]

looks like my 4070 ti super cant do 2 4k displays with 1 1080p display

time to just do 2 4k displays then

[frank zealot]

for display or gaming

[grim fulcrum]

side display for the 1080p

but plugging both the 4k ultragear and 1080p msi both at 60 still flickers the 4k 240

[frank zealot]

you might need to bump down the bitrate slightly on one of the 4K, but it absolutely should

[wise bear]

my guy a 2080ti can handle 3 1080p displays, a 4k display, and a 1440 display without issue

[grim fulcrum]

hm whats the potential issue here then

[wise bear]

pebcak

[grim fulcrum]

potential cable issue or unlikely

[topaz veldt]

I am really fucking annoyed on this call

[wise bear]

https://tenor.com/view/young-bucks-gif-7266789149756718550

[edgy laurel]

5, are you sure about that?

[wise bear]

its what I ran for months..

[edgy laurel]

AFAIK, Nvidia has a hard limit on 4 displays

regardless of resolution

on consumer cards

[wise bear]

OH no u right one of the 1080ps was on the igpu

[grim fulcrum]

oh

[edgy laurel]

that makes sense

[grim fulcrum]

then i need to go get a hdmi then

[oak vector]

lmao poor 2080ti

[grim fulcrum]

rn i have dp only

[oak vector]

I love dp

[wise bear]

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel the NCase M3 is not that much bigger than a Terra overall

[edgy laurel]

ez

[oak vector]

noooooo

[edgy laurel]

thats huge lol

[fringe vigil]

What’s dp

[steel stream]

it's just too easy

[wise bear]

jorj omfg

[steel stream]

displayport

[oak vector]

DisplayPort… yup

[steel stream]

idk what these other lunatics are talking about

[fringe vigil]

I love dp too ngl

[wise bear]

Jorj you watch enough adult content to know what dp is

[oak vector]

LMAO

[fringe vigil]

I only use dp

[oak vector]

Nah this got me sobbing omg

[wise bear]

the only tail he chases is his own

[fringe vigil]

But when my oled comes then it’s HDMI

[steel stream]

you have to use HDMI with the C5

[fringe vigil]

Yes

[topaz veldt]

Its like 8mm longer and 50mm taller

[frank zealot]

why? Should be used to jorj gettin' clowned.
It's one of this chat's primary goals

[oak vector]

we love jorj tomfoolery

[wise bear]

Fuck jorj.

[oak vector]

[topaz veldt]

peyton thats rude

[wise bear]

That's not rude lmao

[topaz veldt]

its entirely rude

[oak vector]

but I don’t wanna

[wise bear]

Calling jorj short & bald is mean

(he is)

[oak vector]

rip

[frank zealot]

is jorj linus-sized?

[wise bear]

more cartman-esque

[wise bear]

You should also know by now that I very much dislike jorj.

[steel stream]

you're doing what?

[edgy laurel]

it doesn't come with a cable, so make sure you have an Ultra High Speed rated one

[fringe vigil]

I don’t think I do buddy

[pure garnet]

you might have to link him one

jorj isn’t very good at computer

[fringe vigil]

what about the one that comes with 4090

[steel stream]

yeah that'll probably be fine

[oak vector]

Idk I barely know the guy
But it seems he’s almost a meme in here lmao 😭

[fringe vigil]

Link me

[steel stream]

only one way to find out

[pure garnet]

what 4090 came with an hdmi cord

[frank zealot]

this is something i'll never understand:

Really good TVs / Displays not including two cables. (Three if they also use USB C)

[edgy laurel]

4090 doesn't come with an HDMI cable

[fringe vigil]

Link me bud

[wise bear]

I was gonna say I don't think I've ever seen a gpu come with video cables

[frank zealot]

AMAZON: HDMI 2.1 Cable <length>

[oak vector]

Petition for expensive tvs and projectors to come with long hdmi or dp cables

[edgy laurel]

I was in the MC parking lot about to leave with my C2 before I realized I didn't have a cable.

[frank zealot]

TV no
Projector? Maybe.

[oak vector]

I read mc as minecraft and got hella confused

[frank zealot]

But "Long" in relation to that is very personal, so there's no one right answer. So I get it.

[oak vector]

Yeah
A proper projector setup could need a comically long cable lmao

[steel stream]

you bought your C2 from MC?

[edgy laurel]

fucking amazon.co.uk still showing me USD prices

[edgy laurel]

yep

cheapest i'd seen that weekend so I made the pilgrimage

[steel stream]

should I offer 201

[steel stream]

gotta hop on that Best Buy open box (excellent) method

[wise bear]

offer $222.22

[oak vector]

I love lowballing old listings on eBay

[steel stream]

smth tells me imma get instant rejected

[wise bear]

oh so bid $333.33

[oak vector]

Lmfao

[steel stream]

nah i don't wanna pay more than 250

[pure garnet]

what is his list

[steel stream]

500

[pure garnet]

holy lowball

[wise bear]

for what

[steel stream]

Mac Pro 2019

[wise bear]

8 am gaming from linus doesn't surprise me

especially on a monday lmao

[steel stream]

8 core intel shitter just give it to me bastard

[wise bear]

you gotta pay the apple tax nerd

[steel stream]

I just want the chassis man

[pure garnet]

the 2019 max pro is already that low

[brittle trellis]

Check the timer on that... He's not playing it, it's left open somewhere

[pure garnet]

how old am i

[oak vector]

I love how he’s sent two messages here lmao 🔥

[wise bear]

linus doesn't care about us

elijah cares though

[steel stream]

please

[edgy laurel]

yo, that would be sick

[steel stream]

I would scrap the PA602 for that

[brittle trellis]

Peasant /s

[steel stream]

idk how I would mod it but I would

[edgy laurel]

it still seems to be missing any semblance of a motherboard tray but if you're buying that to build a PC, fabbing what you need should be a given

[pure garnet]

akn how do you plan on using this case

[oak vector]

[wise bear]

I think akn just wants an apple chassis

[steel stream]

yup

[steel stream]

nah I wanna mod it and make it support ATX

[wise bear]

get 3d printer

[oak vector]

Oh yeah peyton I’m trynna get my hands on a new scooter from alibaba

[wise bear]

and digital calipers

[edgy laurel]

that case even wtihout anything in it is a design and engineering work of art

[oak vector]

It goes something stupid like 40mph

[steel stream]

100%

[wise bear]

I should treat myself to new calipers tbh

[brittle trellis]

Only a suicidal person would ride this

[wise bear]

mitutoyo ftwww

[wise bear]

I've seen idiots going 60 on a highway on a scooter, shit's bonkers

[steel stream]

yeah the hardest part would be modding it but keeping the same elegance

[oak vector]

I shallnt make a joke about this but yes lol.

[brittle trellis]

Instant death if anything goes wrong

[wise bear]

yep!

[steel stream]

i've had two friends get into scooter accidents in the past 2 weeks

[brittle trellis]

Paint the road red

[steel stream]

they are so dangerous

[wise bear]

And this is why I ride an ebike with the proper lighting

I even have ✨ turn signals ✨

[brittle trellis]

There's no damn control on them, you just fall and get fucked

[oak vector]

I’ve fallen off going 30
Cos of how I fell I got away with just scratches
But 60 holy fuck

[wise bear]

dumb af tiny wheel headass dork

[steel stream]

yeah I've already fallen off one no thanks

[wise bear]

29" wheel ftw

[brittle trellis]

And probably some brain damage if you still want to not just ride one, but buy a fast one from china

[oak vector]

Also forgot to mention
The likely hood of me actually riding it that fast is quite unlikely
Like I probably won’t break 30, as I honestly need it more for its torque over actual speed lol

Honestly towing
I’d barely break 20mph

so there’s that.
Plus the range is nuts so that’s cool

[devout ridge]

towing what

[brittle trellis]

Towing on a scooter? This is some next level crazy

[wise bear]

people

[devout ridge]

oh wait shit it's a scooter

20mph at all is wild

[topaz veldt]

what am i missing

[devout ridge]

speed demon scooter

[oak vector]

Here is my current setup
Scooter goes like 27mph

[topaz veldt]

um

[oak vector]

epic trailer
My housemate goes in the back.
It’s very lit I promise

[steel stream]

i fear the moment we added seats to scooters we lost the plot

[oak vector]

I’m long gone

[topaz veldt]

I am out

[oak vector]

awww lmao I’m sorry 😭

[brittle trellis]

Just get a damn ebike

[oak vector]

e bikes are so heavily controlled here

[brittle trellis]

If you want to transport more than you can carry on a bike, get a damn car

I highly doubt that scooter is legal either

So just build an illegal ebike

[oak vector]

Great idea 🔥

[topaz veldt]

whose scooter is this

[oak vector]

mine
My housemate has one that goes 40mph

[devout ridge]

therealbilly

[topaz veldt]

approx how old are you

[steel stream]

6-7

[topaz veldt]

41

[brittle trellis]

Obtain decent hardtail mountain bike, put Bafang kit on it, overdrive the motor a couple thousand watts, have fun

[steel stream]

42?

[oak vector]

17

[topaz veldt]

OK, after 18, this becomes socially wtf to me

[devout ridge]

FUCK WRONG REPLY

[devout ridge]

-1?

[topaz veldt]

coworker of mine has a son who is like 22 and rides a scooter like this around as if its a car

[dawn plover]

I thought a lot of trails don't even allow ebikes?

[steel stream]

on college campuses they are huge

[brittle trellis]

Who tf mentioned anything about actual mountain biking?

[topaz veldt]

This is like suburb of philadelphia to work for an hour

[wise bear]

I literally do this with my bike

[steel stream]

wat

[topaz veldt]

yeah dude - its like... an hour long drive on a fucking e-scooter

[brittle trellis]

I mentioned using a hardtail mountain bike because they're a good base to build on

[oak vector]

Look there’s honestly something fun about it
No rego
No fuel cost
I know how to fix it inside and out

[dawn plover]

you said mountain bike idk 😭

[oak vector]

LMAO whattt 😭

[topaz veldt]

That's cool but then you have to like grow up too - you're riding a toy pulling a wagon

[steel stream]

ok yeah that's insane

[brittle trellis]

Pay more attention ☠️

[wise bear]

transportation is transportation

[dawn plover]

at what point are you better off buying an actual scooter

[topaz veldt]

Yeah we were talking and its like all things - culturally/socially the youths are like "this is fine - its fine to show up to work on an electric scooter with 12,000 miles on it"

[oak vector]

I honestly side with this

[topaz veldt]

Nah there's a point where you have to adult somewhat. Dude is riding a toy to job that pays enough to have at least a car if not a car AND a motorcycle

[brittle trellis]

Of course the borderline child that makes questionable decisions would

[topaz veldt]

Its an interesting intersection of social norms

[wise bear]

I mean, 18 is still a child tbh

[oak vector]

I need a motorbike license

[steel stream]

i'd much rather ride an ebike to work as opposed to an escooter

[topaz veldt]

It all started because my coworkers sons gf broke up with him

and I was like aw man I am sorry hopefully dude isn't taking it too hard

[steel stream]

insane mid life crisis at 22

[topaz veldt]

turns out the gf broke up with him because he can't drive her to dinner lol

[wise bear]

LMAO

[topaz veldt]

as an example

[brittle trellis]

[steel stream]

nah bro just get a wagon

[topaz veldt]

Why? because he rides a fucking scooter

[wise bear]

I can at least have a passenger on my bike

[oak vector]

I’m getting a car like next year so it’s not that big
It’s just a for now thing lmao

[topaz veldt]

The gf was nice, gave it time, dude makes like $70k lives at home, has no car

[steel stream]

even just a civic on FBM would be such a massive improvement

[brittle trellis]

I mean this in the most respectful way, if you show up on a bike, even if it has a proper passenger seat I am NOT getting on it. I will not sit on a bike I am not controlling

[topaz veldt]

But yeah corworker dad was like "I am concerned my sons like... outlook is that 'why would i get a car I have a scooter' and he doesn't realize like socially how immature it is" and I was like wow yeah I never considered that

[topaz veldt]

apparently the dude spends a shit ton of money to keep this fucking thing going, too

[steel stream]

emotional support escooter

yeah I can't imagine they are made for constant one hour trips

[topaz veldt]

Its just a wild thing and the coworker clearly thought this all thru and I agreed on almost every point its like dude how do you keep a relationship that you don't live with while literally "driving" to her apartment on a scooter

Apparently they dated for a year and she brought it up early on like hey like, I want to go places together

They literally arrive separately to places because he scoots lolol

[wise bear]

scooty puff jr

[topaz veldt]

Its like bro keep this girl but help this situation

she's clearly very fucking patient

[oak vector]

Okay I can kinda see where you’re coming from

I’m at school full time, have way too much going on, and have no reason for a car as work is a 10 min commute and school is a 10 minute walk.

But I get how earning that much and having a partner, yet still just having a scooter is a bit odd

[topaz veldt]

Thats why I said like after 18 it starts to matter lol

[hoary hatch]

As far as I am concerned, anyone born after 1999 is still a child

[brittle trellis]

Why didn't he just be the passenger in her car?

[wise bear]

agreed

[oak vector]

I’m not an eternal doofus
Only one for now hahaha

[topaz veldt]

I kind of wish we had e Scooters when I was in college, but like, thats it - on campus putting around

[brittle trellis]

Fuck you

[whole coral]

lol. I have a drivers license so I can drive but I don’t have a car

[topaz veldt]

She also didn't have a card, she borrows her families

[whole coral]

I would rather walk. Especially if it’s in the city

[wise bear]

you did, they were just shitty lead-acid razer scooters

[topaz veldt]

So she borrows a car and he was like "I don't need a car"

[topaz veldt]

Not even bud

[hoary hatch]

Love you

[wise bear]

now kiss

[steel stream]

I can buy booze

[topaz veldt]

I told my guy bro tell your son to go get that girl back because she's patient AF, make him get his shit togehter

[steel stream]

he's in love with the scooter not the girl

[topaz veldt]

He's in love with being a child

[steel stream]

yeah that too

[topaz veldt]

bro has a degree and a job

[brittle trellis]

He's clearly not seen how much fun you can have with a car

[topaz veldt]

He leave the house "See ya mom and dad!" and slams a fuckin hotwheels helment on an Hot Rods his eScooter 45 mins to work

[brittle trellis]

He's probably not ready for how much fun you can have with a car

[steel stream]

I want to buy some shitty beater so badly man

[wise bear]

THE FUCKING HELMET

[steel stream]

drive it off some sand dune or smth

[brittle trellis]

[hoary hatch]

Fastest car in the world
(When it's a rental)

[topaz veldt]

The dad reminds me of myself w/ my son like I'd have a hard time being liek "Dude, time to move on from Lightning McQueen underway..."

[oak vector]

Omfg this actually made me laugh so hard 😭 😭 🙏

[topaz veldt]

but like also he described when he'll be outside grilling and his son comes home down the hill on a fucking scooter lol he told me "There he comes... he does good work at a good job but he drives down the main fucking road of the neighborhood on a scooter it makes him looks so..... remedial" lol his word not mine

[steel stream]

there's a rising trend with people around 18 to mid twenties, where they say they are still just a child and don't know any better. Like yes you're still young, and inexperienced, but you're an adult and you can start acting like one

[topaz veldt]

Yeah thats the social/cultural struggle I am seeing

[steel stream]

Like it's good to still know how to have fun and stuff, but at the end of the day there are sacrifices that must be made, not all choices are easy

[topaz veldt]

I am a millenial by age but but my coworkers are like "you're a Gen X to us" lol - but if you're old enough to carry a rifle in war you can't take a girl out on an eScooter

[wise bear]

what if the girl also has a good job and a scooter

[limber void]

Dont let it go to your head /s

[hoary hatch]

I do wanna see 5nail perform e-scooter tricks

[wise bear]

HE DOES CARE

[oak vector]

See I know damn well legally I’m an adult
But I also know I gotta get my stuff together
Hence military application, buying a car, finally getting my license (cos there was a big delay in that)

[steel stream]

wow

[topaz veldt]

I mean there's people for people right

I’d watch it.

[wise bear]

but with high velocity sand and/or glass

[topaz veldt]

If you have ever operated a sand/bead blaster... there's times when you get a like.... solid 90 seconds of media and pressure flow and its just going well... those moments are bliss

[hoary hatch]

Well on call doesn't mean guaranteed to be called

I did work 6 hours last Christmas tho

[topaz veldt]

but have you ever soda blasted

[wise bear]

non

[hoary hatch]

I can't smh

[topaz veldt]

[topaz veldt]

thats what it tastes like when you breath lol

[wise bear]

..eugh

[steel stream]

yuck

[topaz veldt]

I prob have a pic

[wise bear]

how do you have a pic of how something tastes

how does that even work

[topaz veldt]

you will taste it just by me showing you it

@edgy laurel that HAS to go in the archive

[slim solstice]

Taste what now

[brittle trellis]

HR violation

[oak vector]

me when I taste the rainbow (snails showed me it)

[slim solstice]

Taste the magic smoke

[oak vector]

I love it when I get so little sleep it’s basically just a nap

[topaz veldt]

ha sleep

thats funny

[oak vector]

Gonna be doing my 13.5hr day tmr on a whole 3hrs sleep

[topaz veldt]

oh to be 18

If I am lucky I'll sleep for 4 hours in a night

up at 530, bed at midnight

bed just means "almost falling asleep until a small human comes and kicks me in the nards"

[oak vector]

Does it ever get better snails

[topaz veldt]

I am not sure

[oak vector]

sigh

[young void]

That was really the first time Elijahs visited tc2 😂 frigging goober

[topaz veldt]

I think you might be at its best to be honest

[slim solstice]

You have kids?

[wise bear]

It doesn't get better, you just get a little better at navigating your situation every day

[topaz veldt]

Yes 2

Wouldn't it be weirder if I said no

[brittle trellis]

It won't get better if you deprive yourself of sleep and work 13.5hr shifts

[topaz veldt]

"No I don't have kids - I pay small people to come into my room and kick me"

[oak vector]

I genuinely appreciate this lol 🫶

[slim solstice]

How many electronics are broken in your house?

[topaz veldt]

My children don't respect a lot of things, but they respect electronics

[oak vector]

My brain refuses to turn off
Like
I just lie there thinking and thinking it won’t shut up

[wise bear]

Do they respect a home-cooked meal

[oak vector]

[slim solstice]

Based on my supervison of kids and the high stress I receive when it happens a lot- oh neat I would respect your kids then if I meet them

[brittle trellis]

So you need an ADHD diagnosis

[topaz veldt]

yes - they love pot roast and stew and such

[oak vector]

oooo that’s a good start haha

kale salad goes hard with pecans and cranberry

[brittle trellis]

They're broken, throw them out

[slim solstice]

Is that a dolly or a engine remover thingy

[wise bear]

imagining the airborne dust is making me irl sneeze

[young void]

Whats this?

[topaz veldt]

look at the baking soda ground water lol

[slim solstice]

If you throw them out I'll pick them up

[oak vector]

I aim to be a parent like this haha
Something moderate, see if they like it, all goes well, upgrade it and let them learn along the way

@wise bear Before

i couldve added tofu but honestly the flavour of the pack isnt that strong

[slim solstice]

Yummy transmission

[brisk jolt]

im already halfway through

[slim solstice]

Which pack 🤔

[slim solstice]

Idc.

[topaz veldt]

The cool part is soda blasting does not etch/profile the material at all

[wise bear]

HOLY-

[oak vector]

I love living off of mi goreng noodles

[slim solstice]

Do you mean sand blasting?

[brisk jolt]

its just some chicken base

[wise bear]

so it's more of a surface removal tool like laser?

[topaz veldt]

No i mean soda blasting

[brittle trellis]

How long was the leaking rear main ignored for 💀

[oak vector]

Yeah she looks nice haha

[slim solstice]

Is that sand blasting but with baking soda?

[topaz veldt]

no - the baking soda is an abrasive but it breaks before the alumunm

[wise bear]

[slim solstice]

Sandpaper with less steps.

[topaz veldt]

its baking soda + water + pressure

but you literally taste baking soda

[wise bear]

Oh AND there's water in the stream?

[topaz veldt]

yes

its wet blasting

[wise bear]

Neat, didn't know that was a thing

[topaz veldt]

yeah its wild

[brittle trellis]

Put vinegar in the tank 😈

[topaz veldt]

Soda blasted

Thats a 240k mile cylinder head

[brittle trellis]

It's basically just an easier way to clean things

[topaz veldt]

well it makes a fucking MESS

but yeah it makes things clean quickly

The only downside.... you have to flush baking soda out of every port

[young void]

Valid seems worth it at least

[slim solstice]

Hair dryer.

[slim solstice]

Too rich.

[topaz veldt]

isn't that the goal

[slim pebble]

What’s the big difference between QD-OLED and WOLED? I’m confused, will one cause more eye strain than the other? What do you use for your work setup?

[topaz veldt]

people claim QD contributes to eye fatigue but I said its HORSE SHIT

[topaz veldt]

I use a QD-OLED all day long

WOLED is a white based backlight

[slim solstice]

You have kids. Isn't that called sucessful

[topaz veldt]

There's many ways to gauge success

[steel stream]

QD-OLED uses quantum dots to help improve color saturation and vibrancy, WOLED uses a white led subpixel to help improve brightness

[slim solstice]

Also do they really punch you in the nuts

[topaz veldt]

mostly its with their heels

[topaz veldt]

People say "blue light" escapes

but they ignore the part that there are polarizers, etc.

[steel stream]

Modern day tandem W-OLEDs are starting to match QD-OLED in color saturation/brightness, as well as having better lifespan and brightness

QD-OLEDs suffer from light raise in rooms (hard to notice except for pure black scenes or when the monitor is off) and can make blacks appear purple-y

ok imma hand you off to the resident expert

[topaz veldt]

lol

IMHO WOLED is brighter

[shell void]

qd-oled has less blue light leakage than w-oled because it has pure spectral power distribution from the quantum dots, but both of them have farrrrrrr less than any LCD, and blue light isnt known to cause eye strain anyway

at most itll affect your circadian rhythm a bit

[topaz veldt]

I hate cicadas anyway

fuckin creeps

[slim pebble]

Thank you both. I’m asking because there are three or four good OLED monitors on sale, and I don’t know the difference

[topaz veldt]

imho go see some

[steel stream]

yeah it's great. I only noticed a slight difference when watching something like Spiderman Across the spiderverse with S90D and G5. S90D colors were popping a little bit more it felt like, but G5 still was close and kicking ass

[edgy laurel]

spectral power distribution. guys describing occult magic

[topaz veldt]

Yeah like I said my G4 is too bright sometimes

[wise bear]

This girl pops up in my shorts feed at times and this bitch knows EXACTLY what she's doing
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tLEdudLSlQ0

[shell void]

@slim pebble
the main appreciable difference between qd-oled and w-oled for normal people is that qd-oled can display brighter colors, but room light causes the screen to wash out and get a magenta tint

[steel stream]

G5 needs to brighter!!!

[topaz veldt]

i worry you all have fucked up eyes

[steel stream]

nuh uh

Nah dude my kids watch our G4 at night and they, every night, ask if its "all the way down" and it is

[steel stream]

maybe my content is just super shittily mastered

[topaz veldt]

put on disney plus, watch bluey

its like I can watch the show on the wall behind us

[wise bear]

bluey is highkey a good show

[shell void]

i think it's just a difference of environment and fatigue

[steel stream]

ok yeah SDR content is pretty bright ngl

[shell void]

if it's midday then i could use a 1000nit macbook no problem, but i also turn my oled to 0% pixel brightness before bed

[topaz veldt]

but even 0% PB on G4 at 8PM is like wtf

[shell void]

yeah i also turn contrast to 0 pretty often because it still lights up the whole bedroom

[slim solstice]

I'm bored

[steel stream]

I gotta do some more dark room tuning

[topaz veldt]

how the F do people run rear-board NVMes

[wise bear]

yes

generally with a heatsink

[topaz veldt]

on the rear of a mITX?

[wise bear]

yeah if the cutout is big enough

[shell void]

id like to know how many people are actually running 4+ m.2 drives in a SFF PC

well i guess it's not really practical to have 2 on the front now that i look at this

mITX is a silly form factor tbh

hearing aids and cochlear implants and bone conduction are shit

[slim pebble]

Hearing loss I haven’t noticed, but you’ve actually already started losing hearing. There are high frequencies that you can no longer hear that you could as a teenager.

[turbid locust]

2nd shift was built for alcoholics

[topaz veldt]

Listen to my kids fight I assure you there are no high frequencies I cannot hear

[whole coral]

This

[topaz veldt]

My hearing is superb - almost too good - we had access points at the top of a two-story family room ceiling... and I could hear the coil whine/noise from them below. It freaked my wife out.

If she transferred a file I could hear it

she had me close my eyes and I could tell her exactly when she started moving data

[whole coral]

Higher frequency inner ear hair cells are more susceptible to damage

[brittle trellis]

My hearing is great
My processing? Not so good. But that's not an age thing

[slim pebble]

I mean sounds around 20K Hz. Most of us can’t hear that after age 16 or so.

[topaz veldt]

I hear 100 khz

[wise bear]

Dude I've got mega audio processing issues lmao

[shell void]

i’ve been testing it since about 14 and there hasn’t really been any change

[topaz veldt]

you have a lot of processing issues if we're being honest

[wise bear]

You're not wrong

[topaz veldt]

JUST KIDDING

[whole coral]

I just hope my tinnitus doesn’t keep getting worse

[topaz veldt]

drain it out

[whole coral]

Otherwise I will need to get a Lenire

[brittle trellis]

bit of the 'tism, a lot of the not paying attention disorder

[whole coral]

There’s actually already a cure for tinnitus. Sort of

[topaz veldt]

yeah you just drain the nitus out

G1/4 drain valve

[young void]

That the yellow fluid between joints?

[brittle trellis]

The tinnitus is only noticeable when someone makes you think about it

[topaz veldt]

I call that "mustard" in crabs so my kids don't freak out

[slim solstice]

Do you have that magic bmw finger volume control thingy

[wise bear]

If your joint fluid is yellow you have bigger medical issues

[young void]

Ive seen videos idk jazz about what they where doing

[slim solstice]

Yay

[young void]

Seen ear, and knees get drained via syring but idk the details

[topaz veldt]

"EW DAD WHAT IS THAT" its mustard, son
"Oh I love mustard"

[wise bear]
