[edgy laurel]

and have to add them back again

[turbid locust]

Nothings missing besides like… game bar I guess

[pure garnet]

install ltsc
run wsreset -i
install any uwp app you want from the ms store in 1 click

it's so peak

[turbid locust]

I install LTSC IOT, install Xbox app, and then im like… done

[pure garnet]

i disable the gamebar stuff in the registry but that's a personal choice of mine

[edgy laurel]

na, I'd like to start with somethign I know works. I want gamebar and all the user friendly stuff

[shell void]

wat user friendly stuff

[slim pebble]

No copilot stuff anywhere?

[shell void]

solitaire and candy crush saga?

[turbid locust]

Guilty you can use LTSC IOT just like Windows Home edition lmao

[wraith steeple]

Chip's Challenge too

[turbid locust]

oh yeah no copilot shit

[pure garnet]

it comes with nothin

[edgy laurel]

what is the actual benefit?

[pure garnet]

it's the best version of windows but they won't sell it to consumers because of that

[slim pebble]

No copilot No ads Less spying. It's the corporate/enterprise edition. Not the slop they expect the stupid peasants to use.

[turbid locust]

LTSC IOT is basically stock android but windows

[edgy laurel]

Gets the latest updates pefectly inline with normal Pro?

[topaz veldt]

I install Win 11 Pro and just run my script I wrote to uninstall crap, takes 12 secs. Done.

[pure garnet]

instead of debloating windows and it undoing it i get to start with a clean base and add the components i choose

[topaz veldt]

no

[pure garnet]

you get the minors but not the majors

[wraith steeple]

[edgy laurel]

sounds like linux, that sucks

[pure garnet]

it's frozen to 24h2

[turbid locust]

Oh. Yeah. I forget you’re like super neurotic about updates lol.

[topaz veldt]

yep and moving to 25h2, etc., is a reinstall

[pure garnet]

then when 26h2 comes out they'll probably cut a release on that

[edgy laurel]

ffff that

[topaz veldt]

Yup

Its dumb no one should be doing this

[pure garnet]

did they add anything of value to 25h2

[shell void]

i’ve not heard a single good thing about 25H2 so far

[turbid locust]

Personally I kinda love that it doesn’t try to push an update every 4 seconds

[topaz veldt]

I have not heard a single good thing about LTSC IOT

[pure garnet]

i've been on it since the day it came out

[turbid locust]

Because there’s nothing to complain about

[slim pebble]

I mean, you're probably reinstalling windows every year or so due to a major hardware upgrade no?

[edgy laurel]

Just gonna keep doing what i've been doing that works

[turbid locust]

same

[topaz veldt]

Because its all build-a-pc/tc1'ers who have no idea what they're actually installing

[edgy laurel]

Currently, this install is from 2022

[shell void]

i’m not happy with any version of 24H2 or 25H2 tbh because i run into MPO problems on all of my systems

[edgy laurel]

which is the longest i've ever gone

[turbid locust]

All I know is I didn’t have to worry about the “killing SSDs” update so… lol

[edgy laurel]

but nothing has broken yet

[topaz veldt]

Like people literally flex LTSC IOT as if its some sort of mensa mode.... when you can spend what, 3 minutes writing a powershell script to make anything you don't want in Win 11 home/pro the same or better

[turbid locust]

Yeah custom ISOs and debloat script bullshit

[turbid locust]

99.9999% of people are not doing this lmao

LTSC IOT is just… any other windows install but you don’t have to spend time uninstalling shit

[frank zealot]

Uninstalling parts on 10/11 is ezpz

[devout ridge]

i just used rufus to remove the shit like copilot and onedrive

[turbid locust]

it just… doesn’t come with shit

[topaz veldt]

You can literally have Gemini do it for you

[turbid locust]

LTSC IOT is Gen 1 Viper

no assists no bullshit

[topaz veldt]

And in a year you need to figure out reinstalling and saving all your data

[pure garnet]

that doesn't really bother me

[topaz veldt]

The very people who push it have no idea how to get out of it

[turbid locust]

non issue for a mf with a NAS

[topaz veldt]

I have a NAS I just value my time

[wraith steeple]

I don't keep any important data enough to care

[topaz veldt]

super spooky stuff

[turbid locust]

Idk I fucking love that LTSC IOT doesn’t update every 4 seconds

[shell void]

having a small partition with only your OS and drivers in it saves so much time later regardless of version

[topaz veldt]

Neither does Win11 bud

Like I dunno wtf you're doing that your shit is updating so much

[turbid locust]

idk man last time I was on a consumer iso that shit was updating every week

[frank zealot]

Ms literally has once a month updates unless a critical patch drops

Not counting defender

[edgy laurel]

patch tuesday.. its not every week

[turbid locust]

“This windows update killed some SSDs”
“This windows update made Nvidia GPUs underperform”

Literal non issue for me

[hoary hatch]

I update whenever I feel like it

[topaz veldt]

Imagine if there was a setting you could set to make every single update require approval

[frank zealot]

That update was a giant scare tactic. It wasn't actually what happened

[topaz veldt]

Me either lawl

[hoary hatch]

By that I mean I check for updates manually almost daily

[turbid locust]

idk all my OS related bullshit disappeared the moment I installed LTSC IOT

[pure garnet]

nothing was added in 25h2 that i need so im fine with not having it personally

[turbid locust]

I feel like I could run this install for 5 years

[topaz veldt]

Just beacuse 25H2 wasn't a build you need/wanted doesn't make LTSC IOT a good idea

[pure garnet]

if i gotta reinstall later nbd

[turbid locust]

standard windows feels like shit after like a year

[topaz veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/ben-jammins-who-will-tell-em-who-will-tell-him-who-will-tell-her-who-will-tell-them-gif-13802512768600566517

[edgy laurel]

it doesn't

(maybe if you're messy)

[frank zealot]

Huh?

[turbid locust]

besides are we pretending I don’t swap platforms every 6 months anyway

[hoary hatch]

If you actually used your OS instead of watching y-cruncher, you wouldn't notice anything

[turbid locust]

I… don’t?

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/ohhhhh-gif-20235380

[turbid locust]

ok all of you can fuck off lmao

why’s it fucking matter

[fringe vigil]

stay out of gaming guys

[edgy laurel]

❤️

[hoary hatch]

We're just messing with you

[frank zealot]

Ltsc is made for work environments where vendors refuse to update for new OSs

[topaz veldt]

Yep

Its not a feature, its a requirement

[turbid locust]

Linux stable release vibes

[topaz veldt]

lol - go google "Oracle Unbreakable Kernel"

[frank zealot]

Because some industry vendors are shiiiiit about updating software you pay 6 figures for

[turbid locust]

I think the conclusion here is that I actually don’t give a fuck what iso you use

[pure garnet]

i use mine everyday

[frank zealot]

I like 91% iso typically

[turbid locust]

Idk why were acting like it’s some cardinal sin to use LTSC IOT

[pure garnet]

i would be stripping stuff anyway, reinstalling isn't a big deal to me so i run ltsc

[turbid locust]

it’s fucking windows lmao

[hoary hatch]

Naw fam
You gotta get that semiconductor grade 100% iso

[pure garnet]

i've reinstalled windows like 5x this month so like

it's not a process im afraid of or thinks takes up much time

[pure garnet]

no more hardware swaps

[frank zealot]

So have I, but on 5+ computers lol

[topaz veldt]

Here's the other part - I don't give a shit that you can't run a powershell script 🙂

[turbid locust]

I just can’t remember the last time I actually cared about a windows update

[topaz veldt]

Do what you want just remember to tell the morons who can't figure out fan control that they can't upgrade their OS

[hoary hatch]

I remember going insiders to get WSL early

[turbid locust]

I don’t recommend it

I just use it

[hoary hatch]

I remember my insiders build GSODing 3 hours before a final exam

[turbid locust]

Well let me rephrase, I recommend LTSC IOT over some fuckass iso from “billbobXxXX69420” on the internet

[pure garnet]

computer for me = ltsc
computer for someone else = pro

[brisk jolt]

leme just casually order 6x2g duronauts which is way more than what ill be using

[frank zealot]

Normies don't need pro

[pure garnet]

i refuse to install home willingly

if im setting up windows pro is in the same iso

[frank zealot]

For JohnnyGamer it doesn't matter

[pure garnet]

but yes for 99% of people windows 11 home is fine

[hoary hatch]

I always install pro because I can

[pure garnet]

but if im reinstalling their operating system im installing pro

[topaz veldt]

I used to be on MSDN Technet running pre releases of shit

[hoary hatch]

I have 0 use of pro

[frank zealot]

I have a CoA for pro, so I use it

[turbid locust]

If I hit the start button and see Candy Crush I WILL have a psychotic episode

[hoary hatch]

But it looks nice in device info :)

[topaz veldt]

Literally not in pro

like just install a real OS

[turbid locust]

the context was home

[frank zealot]

I need to remote into his pc to install it now

[topaz veldt]

you're MGing shit anyway why are you installing home

[turbid locust]

IM NOT

this has to be ragebait

[topaz veldt]

So quit talking stupid

[turbid locust]

I’m grumpy at home with Covid and I’m being ragebaited

[topaz veldt]

We ain't here for stupid talk

[topaz veldt]

[turbid locust]

yay half my games don’t work anymore

[topaz veldt]

like literally I spend my days designing ways to make linux deployment easier and people think Arch is a good idea

[turbid locust]

arch is a good idea

[topaz veldt]

Its a fantastic idea

[turbid locust]

only way anyone should be installing Linux tbh

[topaz veldt]

Yes definitely

[turbid locust]

anything else is beta normie shit

[topaz veldt]

I just saved 120 of these from the trash bin

[turbid locust]

chump change

[topaz veldt]

I just need to find someone who wants a lot of 120 because I refuse to ship 1's and 2's on ebay

[pure garnet]

why not like lots of 20

[brisk jolt]

duronaut’s basically free

I have asked TG/derbauer to do like 10g-20g kits

[turbid locust]

thank you what a deal

we find out what random ass board MSI sent me tomorrow

[topaz veldt]

lol

[turbid locust]

what’s stopping me from keeping it

like in the email they asked to contact support about returning it but like lol

[turbid locust]

I miss Minecraft hunger games in like 2014

[topaz veldt]

If I keep my EK 5090 TUF block it means I can buy anothe r5090

[turbid locust]

5nail investing in 5090s to trade in for when the 6090 is 10K

[brisk jolt]

are you fucking kiddin me

[hoary hatch]

The new star wars game sounds interesting

@pure garnet if ur 3700x blows up in moms gaming pc ur head will be mine

jk but it'd be sad

[pure garnet]

it was free, as is

[merry stirrup]

that’s true (it also did 16 hours of cruncher and core cycler)

[pure garnet]

it was probably just the b550-i

considering the board died entirely

[topaz veldt]

🙁

I am freaking loving this SFF build

using it almost exclusively.. maybe I should just use it exclusively

[pure garnet]

all roads lead to am5

floppa would it be cope to run XMP on z890 until I get a manual tune done

[merry stirrup]

i just run 8k at my 9k subs and timings

might go to 8600 tho for fun

[turbid locust]

I wasn’t able to immediately get 9k stable in like a couple hours of tuning

but like it doesn’t instantly BSOD like it did on H16A

I had a run go like 13 mins in Karhu

But that’s it

[topaz veldt]

my 8000 CL40 2x24GB won't stabilize in mITX, but posted on OCN and people confirmed they have issues with that kit on AMD

[merry stirrup]

these guys cant get more than 64GB/s

what do you mean double the memory bandwidth

[turbid locust]

I may just go for an 8800 manual tune

[shell void]

this isnt for consumers

[turbid locust]

8800 was definitely working on H16A but it was being funny if I touched subs

[shell void]

it's HB-DIMM which is their answer for Intel's MRDIMM

[turbid locust]

like it didn’t wanna do 120ns tRFC

[topaz veldt]

They want to make DDDR5

[merry stirrup]

i read

[shell void]

i think zen 6 epyc can use mrdimm anyway so idk why they wanna make their own new standard

they could just mooch off of intel's development like always

[merry stirrup]

zen 7 is coming with a ddr3 memory controller

[topaz veldt]

yesss

40 channel DDR3 finally

[merry stirrup]

bust out your PSC and BBSE

[shell void]

flopper u gotta do ddr3 oc on a 9900K at some point

[merry stirrup]

its hard to find competent boards

i think uhhh asus z170 are the best d3 ocers for it

[shell void]

i have no idea

[merry stirrup]

Z170P-D3 if you see one cheapp ping me

[topaz veldt]

was Z170 really DDR3?

[merry stirrup]

yes up to 10th gen had ddr3 memory controller

[turbid locust]

@topaz veldt what were you saying about the 200S boost thing

[merry stirrup]

and technically some 11th gen but not desktop

[topaz veldt]

whatabout8it

[turbid locust]

Idk you said something about it before

[merry stirrup]

Z170 is 6/7th gen but can be modded for 8/9th support and by extension does d3 oc on a 9900k

[topaz veldt]

I used it

[topaz veldt]

I had a 6700K but I thought it was DDR4

[merry stirrup]

both

they all had d3 memory controllers

even some 11th gen mobile chips were so down bad they were DDR3L

what is wrong

oh thats just his weird lighting

[edgy laurel]

What is the physically smallest AM5 board that supports RDIMM's

[merry stirrup]

best bet is gonna be asrock

[shell void]

no am5 board supports rdimms

[merry stirrup]

like an asrock rack something or other

but also yeah you need unregistered ecc

[shell void]

if u mean unbuffered ecc then like floppa said there are some matx boards from asrock and asus

does your hair grow at a rate of a half foot per week or smth

[turbid locust]

LOWKEY

[shell void]

if i wanted to keep the sides and back short then i’d have to go twice a month too and that’s obnoxious

[turbid locust]

nah I just can’t stand it touching my ears or shirt collar

[shell void]

i like having uniformity longer hair tho it looks better on me

[steel stream]

I need hair on the sides of my head otherwise I look too square

[turbid locust]

my face is round so like that’s the goal

[steel stream]

my hair curls up too, so after a while it becomes afro-y

[turbid locust]

my hair is like as straight as it gets

[steel stream]

I had hella curly hair as a kid, it went straight in elementary/middle school, and then it went back to curly

[dawn plover]

Google Cardboard getting updates in 2025??

[vestal granite]

my hair is straight but ive got a lotta cowlicks in it

so its a battle of trying to make it a neater messy

or i just wear a hat if a hat is appropriate

[steel stream]

oh yeah I got hella cowlicks too

my hair is untameable

I am sadly not a big hat guy, I wish I was

[vestal granite]

i used to use pomade but i dont like any product in my hair that makes it hold shape, always does weird stuff

[steel stream]

au naturale

[vestal granite]

hair spray i get long straight strands of hair, pomade it just feels like my hair is greasy, mousse it just makes my hair too shiny

[steel stream]

My face is too rigid and sharp for hats

[steel stream]

see i've just never bothered using any of this

[vestal granite]

only thing i really do to my hair other than brushing it is i just - when i condition my hair (just whenever it gets frizzy which it takes about 1 week since the previous conditioning of it to get frizzy again) i just let it sit for a minute and rinse it out with cold water to lock the moisture in cause a barber told me to do that

[steel stream]

hmmmmm

i will try this barbers advice

[vestal granite]

warm water opens up the hair follicles -> u apply conditioner -> cold water to rinse and itll close up the hair follicles and trap that moisture in or something

like a shrinkydink in reverse

[frank zealot]

LOBO!!!!

[novel cobalt]

i see

in most ways they are not better

An app?

[devout ridge]

yes

it's a benchmark for storage devices

[vapid belfry]

Ok got a link?

[devout ridge]

https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskmark/

[vapid belfry]

Can I run this benchmark while the game is patching though?

[devout ridge]

yeah should be fine

[dawn plover]

depends on your hard drive speed

[devout ridge]

ssd, not a harddrive, and i'm bloody getting there

it's either a slow ass SSD, or it's the game being poorly compressed

[dawn plover]

some updates just take some time to install even on an SSD

an hour seems long but idk

[devout ridge]

hence why i've asked them to run crystaldiskmark

[vapid belfry]

Wizard you from Mtl?

[devout ridge]

run the benchmark, not just the info version

also did you have to pick the anime version...

[dawn plover]

ye not many people know what it means

[vapid belfry]

I wanted to spice things up

[vapid belfry]

Yeah im from there too

How do I run the benchmark?

[devout ridge]

function iirc

[devout ridge]

file maybe...?

been a minute since i actually used it

[vapid belfry]

Nope

[devout ridge]

oh run crystaldiskmark, not crystal diskinfo

[vapid belfry]

Ah I didnt download the right thing

[wicked summit]

PCIe 2.0?

[vapid belfry]

Whats the next step @devout ridge

[wicked summit]

your disk is also almost full so the speed won't be optimal

[devout ridge]

there should be a run button

[vapid belfry]

I clicked the green all button

[devout ridge]

give it a minute

[vapid belfry]

Copy

[devout ridge]

it has to setup the files for the test

[vapid belfry]

oops im testing the wrong drive

[devout ridge]

i’m mostly curious about the write speed

so lemme know what that turns out to be

[vapid belfry]

Gotcha, testing rn

Will my C drive being full affect my D drive speeds at all?

[devout ridge]

it shouldn’t

[vapid belfry]

kk

[devout ridge]

it’ll affect system responsiveness when it’s really full, but you’re not at that point quite yet

[vapid belfry]

Still testing

[devout ridge]

looks fine, probably just the game being compressed poorly

[vapid belfry]

I think its done?

Ok cool thanks for your help

[devout ridge]

happy to help

[vapid belfry]

[topaz veldt]

oh I am so far past that anymore

[limpid galleon]

Guys whats a good am4 cpu to upgrade to from ryzen 5 3600

[topaz veldt]

sigh

[limpid galleon]

Bro is second hand cpu good

Or pins bend more often

[topaz veldt]

Its as good as you think it is

its 2026 in a few days, AM4 is long, long dead

[limpid galleon]

Bro still theres good cpus for it

[topaz veldt]

Bro then why are you asking us

[limpid galleon]

I dont wanna do a whole mobo upgrade yet

I just dont know which is better

Or worth it

[topaz veldt]

what is the rest of the system

[shell void]

U9 290K+

[topaz veldt]

Already ordered one

[shell void]

AYYMD boards getting ready for 9850X3D etc

[limpid galleon]

3060ti 16gb ram

[shell void]

how many 9850X3D u buyin?

[topaz veldt]

at most 2

[devout ridge]

what is the 9850x3d under the hood?

[topaz veldt]

its a 9800X3D

[devout ridge]

what's different?

[topaz veldt]

boost

[limpid galleon]

Bro 🤣

[devout ridge]

so it's just a higher clocked 9800x3d but otherwise identical?

[topaz veldt]

Yep

[limpid galleon]

Ai image or what

[devout ridge]

what about that image makes you think it's ai?

[limpid galleon]

The yellowish tint

But ik isnt

[devout ridge]

it's a textured effect...

[limpid galleon]

Yeah i see it now

Am4 is still good until am6 bro

[proven saddle]

Im am4 on both pcs

[devout ridge]

if you already are on am4, sure, but you shouldn't be investing into it now

[limpid galleon]

Yeah true

Maybe when am6 mobos come out ill get one

[proven saddle]

Ye am5 still expensive bc of ram an such

[devout ridge]

i mean you really shouldn't be investing into any new PC build rn if you don't have to

ram prices make pretty much any pc prohibitively expensive

[limpid galleon]

So i should hold my 3600 for now

[proven saddle]

I dont need am5 performance

[devout ridge]

upgrade your PC all you want, just try to avoid buying ram

[proven saddle]

When does it end?

[limpid galleon]

Ok

[devout ridge]

at a point in time

[limpid galleon]

When the ai bubble pops

[devout ridge]

but then i'll be too poor to buy ram

[proven saddle]

Next day after Christmas

[devout ridge]

I wish

[proven saddle]

You not alone

Bit doesn't it takes time to restart the consumer side?

[devout ridge]

right when i wanted to upgrade my ddr4 servers with more ram it goes to the moon

guess my ddr3 server is getting 1tb instead

[proven saddle]

Like the gamestop

[devout ridge]

did you see the gamestop ad where they used the girl from the bestbuy ad?

[proven saddle]

Wat

What girl?

[brisk jolt]

hell yeah

[proven saddle]

And why

[devout ridge]

you know "riley" the girl that did the laptop ad that everyone fawned over

[proven saddle]

No

[devout ridge]

this girl

[proven saddle]

Holy neck

Look kinda like the samsung mascot with neck

And dyed hair?

[brisk jolt]

she has potential to be a F1 driver with that neck fr

[devout ridge]

she just has narrow shoulders, making her neck look longer in headshots

[limpid galleon]

Wouldnt the prices go down?

[devout ridge]

but i'd be out of a job, and thus not getting paid

[limpid galleon]

Ur job is ai?

[proven saddle]

Like the one roblox game

[proven saddle]

Prob server stuff

[devout ridge]

ai bubble gonna fuck every job

my day job is retail, but i also do volunteer theatrical lighting design work

[limpid galleon]

I honestly dont see how ai bubble popping will affect your job

[proven saddle]

Retail in a Wal-Mart or tiny ones?

[devout ridge]

you don't see how a mass economic recession would affect most jobs?

[devout ridge]

national chain, but smaller than walmart

think kroger

[proven saddle]

Nice

[limpid galleon]

I dont think im knowledgeable enough to discuss this topic

[proven saddle]

Is it same sice as Aldi?

[devout ridge]

not nice, corporate jobs suck

[devout ridge]

more or less

[limpid galleon]

Especially about us economics

[topaz veldt]

not true

[devout ridge]

essentially everything is directly or indirectly invested in the AI bubble

[topaz veldt]

You guys should read about Fiserv

[proven saddle]

Ah yes i forget that some us states doesnt have much staff rights

[devout ridge]

it's not even staff rights, i work lower management, so i deal with all the BS of upper and middle management, but also get blamed for what corporate does by the employees under me

[proven saddle]

😭

[devout ridge]

upper and middle management is mad that i can't make their BS policy work like it did in their daydream, the employees i manage are mad that i'm trying to follow corporate policy

[brisk jolt]

so real

[proven saddle]

Thats a fever dream

[devout ridge]

lower management is the worst position to be in, but it pays better than being a normal employee

[brisk jolt]

“if you think so easy how bout you come down do it urself”

[devout ridge]

90% of upper and middle management have never actually worked retail, or they did 40 years ago, so they don't understand how it actually works

[brisk jolt]

they just applied for the role with whatever shit they have other than 1st hand exprience

[proven saddle]

How is the chain even alive then ?

[devout ridge]

it works in cycles, management gets pissy and strict about bs policies, it stops working well and their revenue and customer satisfaction dips, so they ease back and it goes back up, repeat every 6 months

that's what happens when they care more about checking the box on an audit than actually caring about how well things run

[proven saddle]

Like waves

[devout ridge]

plus their BS policies mostly affect the low level employees and lower management, not the customers

they keep adding more and more thing cashiers are required to tell customers, it's at the point where it's practically 5 minutes of required conversation

[jaunty horizon]

Hi Guys

[devout ridge]

if you miss a single thing you get dinged on the audit

[proven saddle]

In Germany we just say maybe good afternoon or such and just go

5 sec talking if maybe

[devout ridge]

I have had someone in middle management genuinely complain that our audit scores are "so bad, worse than they've ever seen" then when i asked what it was they said "94%"

[proven saddle]

94 is still good

[wraith steeple]

"would you like a two year warranty on your bawls drink?"

[limpid galleon]

Just bought 2x 8gb ram for 40 off someone

[devout ridge]

what every cashier is required to say every transaction:
generic greeting
do you have a loyalty card
did you find everything alright (if they say they didn't, you have to help them find it)
generic small talk
tell them their total and ask them to round up, have to say the name of the charity every time
tell them how many loyalty points they made
tell them about our survey and their chance to win 500 dollars for filling it out
ask them if they need carry out to their car (even if the literally just have one tiny item)
then tell them have a great day and thank you for shopping at [insert generic store name]

[limpid galleon]

Good deal?

[devout ridge]

repeat about 300 times every day

[limpid galleon]

Sickening

Corporate Merica

[devout ridge]

it used to just be greeting, did you find everything, small talk, their total, have a good day

they even care about the exact verbiage used for some of those points

[wraith steeple]

The way it should be

https://tenor.com/view/merica-bald-eagle-eagle-america-american-gif-2277187416326490184

[brisk jolt]

its the same shit with ads

[devout ridge]

customers just get pissed off when we say every bit of the required lines

especially small transactions

[brisk jolt]

If anyone told me that I’d just ask to skip it lmao

[devout ridge]

like why do i have to ask a 16 year old kid who just bought a single pack of gum if they need carry out to their car

[wraith steeple]

Tipping culture is also

[brittle trellis]

Guillotines for the management, asap

[devout ridge]

Upper management, lower management has zero say in it

[brittle trellis]

Did I stutter?

[brisk jolt]

Upper management’s the one mainly full of bullshit

At least lower has ideas on what tf goes down there

[devout ridge]

middle management is a mixed bag, sometimes it's people who started out at the bottom and worked their way up so they understand everything, sometimes they got hired in as middle management

[brisk jolt]

Like holy shit just to please the audit we had to fake shit

Like I cant lie we were shitting numbers outta our ass

[devout ridge]

the amount of times i've forged signatures to pass an audit for work is incredible

and it's BS stuff that literally has zero effect on anything

[brisk jolt]

My senior literally autopilots the signatures and bullshit like

[devout ridge]

I literally sign my name on stuff 200 times a day, 99% of the time there's no reason to even sign it

basically every customer service based transaction i have, like a 2 dollar refund, requires minimum 2 signatures

mine and the customers, as well as a written reason for the refund

idk why i even have to sign, it's already tied to my PoS login

[wraith steeple]

In my local MC, it's an ongoing joke asking if we want warranties on miscellaneous items

[proven saddle]

The only thing that cashier says in Germany is if you have the loyalty card and the total price nothing else

[devout ridge]

the return policy is so relaxed at my store, if you aren't returning high theft items, you basically can get a refund for any reason

[wraith steeple]

Even drinks and candies

[devout ridge]

i've had customers walk up with a completely empty box of food and say "i didn't like it", they got a full refund and replacement

[proven saddle]

[topaz veldt]

Finally set up my DDR4 RAM test box

[oak vector]

Replacement got me smirking

[edgy laurel]

jumpscare friday

[wraith steeple]

"The customer is always right" as the old saying goes

[devout ridge]

It works for most retail stores

[proven saddle]

Once you eat it it isnt replaceable

[edgy laurel]

not only are those in adapters, there are 4 of them and they're 8GB SODIMMS

[brittle trellis]

IN MATTERS OF TASTE

[devout ridge]

"the customer is always right" is what we tell the customers, if you do some dumb shit we will judge you heavily once you leave

[oak vector]

I actually got shivers from that wtf

[brittle trellis]

otherwise the customer is always fucking wrong and should shut up before they get punched

[edgy laurel]

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1628440-ddr5-sodimm-in-desktop-with-adapter-testing-wip/

[wraith steeple]

Yep I don't miss that shit one bit

[devout ridge]

there are customers that come in regularly so they can find items that don't ring up right, so they get one for free

[wraith steeple]

I hated working retail in CS when I did

[oak vector]

Lmfao what 😭
Also am I reading that right
“@3200mhz”

I guess if it works it works though

[edgy laurel]

I'm not surprised that it works

[wraith steeple]

"The customer is always right" is one of the greatest bullshit quotes ever created

[brittle trellis]

Which would be 6400M/T

[devout ridge]

Because it's an incomplete quote

[edgy laurel]

No

[oak vector]

“The customer is always right”
Okay they can always walk right out my store

[fickle narwhal]

That right there is funny 😄

[edgy laurel]

He was able to achieve 4800M/T

[oak vector]

That’s…
Impressive

[edgy laurel]

actually, i lied. with 4x DIMM's 3200 was the max

4800 was with only 2

[fickle narwhal]

3200 mts is not the max on 4 dimms

[edgy laurel]

ffs thats a horrible setup. poor 9800x3d

[oak vector]

Ddr5 3200 goes so hard

[limpid galleon]

I bought 2x 8gb for €40

Good deal or scam

[brittle trellis]

For those dimms on that board with that CPU, it was clearly the max

[fickle narwhal]

Scam you shouldn’t have bought that

[oak vector]

OH YEAH
Forgot that was the cpu behind that tomfoolery lmao

[brittle trellis]

I'ma start slapping board manufacturers

[limpid galleon]

Why tho it sounds like a good deal

[fickle narwhal]

The statement did not clarify that exact setup so…

[brittle trellis]

Context buddy

Read things

[fickle narwhal]

It’s 16gb you would have been better off getting 1x16 and then another stick later

[wraith steeple]

Only for it to be bastardised and making the original quote obsolete

[limpid galleon]

Thats kinda true but isnt single channel slower?

I mean i already have 2x 8gb in my pc

[fickle narwhal]

Nah

[limpid galleon]

I have in slot 2 and 4

[fickle narwhal]

Then fair if you end up with 32gb

[wraith steeple]

Could be worse where in some places "The customer is God"

[limpid galleon]

Yeah and all my slots r filled

[fickle narwhal]

16gb just ain’t enough cause windows is so fucking hungry

[limpid galleon]

Exactly bro just by watching youtube it takes 8gb memory

[fickle narwhal]

Fuck you mark zuckerberg

[heavy mantle]

No?

[topaz veldt]

@wraith steeple my FTC Alphacool block came in

[heavy mantle]

well it really depends tbh

[floral spear]

At my old job in dominos the saying is "The customer is just an idiot who pays the company to force us to make pizzas to kill the time"

[devout ridge]

every cashier at my store is allowed to essentially give away up to about 10usd of product just to make a customer happy, anything greater and they have to get customer service permission, which we almost always give

[heavy mantle]

if you have ddr5 7000 or 8000 smthn like that then 16 gigs are not terrible at all

but like ddr3 1600 16 gigs thenn

[heavy mantle]

where?

[wraith steeple]

Don't doubt it. Again, I don't miss working retail one bit

[devout ridge]

kroger-type store

[heavy mantle]

ohh makes sence

[devout ridge]

though almost every grocery store has a similar policy

it's better to lose out on that small amount of profit than lose a customer

[limpid galleon]

Ddr4 3200mhz

[heavy mantle]

ehh

i mean its usable with lots of stuff disabled

[fickle narwhal]

Ddr5 3600mts 48gb x4

[heavy mantle]

but high mt/s ddr5 or lpddr5 is a life changer once you have it

[limpid galleon]

Damn bro

[loud tree]

Anyone here good with monitors, got a question regarding a Philips P-line 439P1. Is it any good? What would it be worth paying for one? Anyone got any ideas here? main usage, work.

[limpid galleon]

Im not that rich

[heavy mantle]

Its a okay 4k display

[fickle narwhal]

Tbh not a huge difference I have 24x2 at 7200 cl36 and it’s no difference over 6000 cl30

[heavy mantle]

if you are doing cad or smthn then yeah not bad i guess

[loud tree]

Might be able grab one for around 150$. What's your take on that

[proven saddle]

Rich

[heavy mantle]

any issues with it?

[brisk jolt]

I know

But another guy not here is

[loud tree]

New, unpacked still in the box. the company i work for has a couple that they are auctioning out

[heavy mantle]

it is quite notacble for me even between 8800 , 7200, 5600, and 7646 tbh

[heavy mantle]

sure

[steel stream]

as a purely work monitor it's fine, i would probs never use it for gaming though

[heavy mantle]

i mean go for it if you dont game

[loud tree]

Nah gaming is not suitable, mainly intended for work. Got a different one for the gaming setup

[heavy mantle]

yeah then thats not a bad deal

[loud tree]

Aight, thanks alot!

[fickle narwhal]

I guess I just don’t do the same stuff as you mostly just switched so I had more ram then gpu vram

[edgy laurel]

If its $150, its not likely to be in the realm of what we consider "good". But budget stuff has its place. Looks like a basic edge-lit VA business monitor, 60Hz. Likely going to be a smeary mess for gaming

4K and nearly 43" is nice

[fickle narwhal]

I am about to sell one of those kits lol trying to decide how much I should sell it for though

How much is a 16x2 CL26 kit new rn

click on the link and then check

[frosty granite]

Speaking about RAM prices? Yeah that couldnt be more true. I am still amazed at the fact that I got my Rig for 2500, given whats inside of it.

[brisk jolt]

cant find any

[frank zealot]

This one's a "deal" by today's standards

[frank zealot]

because CL26 is fuckoff uncommon at the best of times. (also kinda pointless)

[pure garnet]

$820 for the gskill godbins

[frosty granite]

O.o

[brisk jolt]

jesus fucking christ

it makes the $670 SGD i saw look cheap

[frosty granite]

Get the priest...

Well, depends on how many monitors your setup has and how big they are.

more than plenty if you ask me.

[brisk jolt]

I’d get 160 length if possible

you need to plan for future usecase+other stuff you’ll slap on

[shell void]

go deeper if possible

[brisk jolt]

my desk is 120x60 not my choice, it very barely gets the job done

[shell void]

only having 60cm (24 inches) of depth really limits what sizes of display that you can comfortably use, what speakers you could put on your desk, what pc cases could sit on your desk, etc

if you can fit and afford deeper than 60cm then it’s worth it

[brisk jolt]

its time to hustle

However you want to do man

[shell void]

i would try to get at least 80cm (32 inches) of depth

no as in depth

oh

honestly as big as will fit in your space and not look silly

you can never have too much desk

[pure garnet]

buy a sheet of plywood

and build a desk

[granite dirge]

So like what's a good price for a team group and a gskill 2x16gb ddr5 6000 kit to sell on marketplace and a 9600x

[edgy laurel]

lol @topaz veldt

nothing more reliable than a 10y/o 90k mile Maserati offered for $14k

[shell void]

idk what your space looks like or what gear you have

i’m using a 180x92cm desk and i wish i had more space still

[granite dirge]

Like 160$ per kit and for the CPU?

[shell void]

you can get a lot more than $160 for 32GB of Hynix D5

[wraith steeple]

One simply doesn't put reliable and Maserati in the same sentence

[vestal granite]

you could have just omitted the year & miles and the sentence still works

and the price

[topaz veldt]

hilarious

never would I in a million years

[topaz veldt]

can you come over and run a 3dmark stability test on a 5090 master for me then once its good can you swap an alphacool waterblcok on it, thanks i will give you $150

[topaz veldt]

you're selling?

[granite dirge]

2 kits of ddr5 600 2x16gb dimms and a 9600x CPU. Gonna be hitting my marketplace soon

My 2x32gb6000 kit works in my current system and these are literally in a bin of extra arctic fans and other tech odds and ends.

Slowly but surely

[hoary hatch]

Unfortunately the only one they can say is panther lake

So companies are using bots to reply to Twitter posts? I thought that's what unpaid social media interns were for

[oak vector]

Looks like I’ll be pulling an all nighter
AC ain’t working and I have no fan lmao

FINALLY completed this quest

[oak vector]

It was like 29c all day
And it’s still 20c at almost 4 in the morning

[frank zealot]

well, here's tens of thousands of dollars right now:

[frank zealot]

it was a little over 20f when I went to work this morning

-5 or 6 c give or take?

[oak vector]

and brick house moment
It holds heat like nothing else
And my room has no shade as it’s on the top floor, as well as being the sunniest side

I’m doomed

[devout ridge]

what if it just happens to go missing…

[oak vector]

I collected like 2 litres of water today from our leaking ac

Idk what it is
But smth is leaking in our garage
And it’s from the ac

[frank zealot]

If I was in the room with that at least a kit or two would be unaccounted for

[oak vector]

Toasty lmao

for the £1-1.2k budget it's an ideal gpu

[wise bear]

Literally me at the holiday chex mix bowl

[wraith steeple]

[granite dirge]

I can't wait to get out of shopping at my job... Working on getting through it with my mom... She wants to look at everything lol

[young void]

Hogwarts legacy free on epic games rn if any need

[wise bear]

Not surprised lol

fuck that bitch known as jk bowlingpin

"lets put in a token transgender character"

[young void]

I dont even know what that means fam

[hoary hatch]

I added it to my account but I will almost certainly never bother to download it

[wise bear]

have you ever heard of "token black person"

[hoary hatch]

I don't think I've ever played a game on epic

[young void]

Yes but its silly lol

[hoary hatch]

But I can't resist clicking on free items

It's a curse

[wise bear]

A "token" character is essentially there to be there for the diversity coin

[young void]

For a trans one im just imagining some dude or chick lol

Like how does one determine, seems silly

[pure garnet]

i bought it at launch and played through most of it

i had fun with it

[young void]

Im sure the game had alot of other things that could've been added/fixed

[wise bear]

They were added like halfway into development lmao, it's so stupid

"We need diversity!!1!" type shit

Anything that has JKR's stupid fucking poncey name on it can burn in a vat of acid

Fuck that bitch.

[young void]

Non the less ill take it the community it was aimed for it was not well recieved

[wise bear]

"transes only exist to invade women's spaces!!!"

Thanks now I'm literally afraid to use any public bathroom

[hoary hatch]

It doesn't seem like a game I am interested in

I may try it but I'd expect to get bored about 20 minutes in

And also if have to use it through epic which is a hurdle lmao

[young void]

I havent tried it yetss but eventually id like to. The ps2 and gba Harry potter where actually pretty fun

[wise bear]

I heard there's a lot of repetitive, mind-numbing combat

[wraith steeple]

I feel like an alien in even my birth country

[hoary hatch]

Oh maybe I'd enjoy it

[young void]

Nothing beats going to the forbidden section and getting a stronger spell

[wise bear]

Fucking mood, bestie

[whole coral]

Me too a little bit

Well in the USA especially given how much Trump doesn’t like immigrants

[oak vector]

Lmaoooo
I don’t feel like an alien in my country for the most part
Maybe in my state though

[wraith steeple]

Us folks on the spectrum are seen as lower than second class citizens in the Arab world

[young void]

My brother's disabled and if anyone ever treats him poorly I be standing by them like the undertaker

[whole coral]

I’m sorry about calling anyone an “alien” is just dehumanization

[wise bear]

nah I def feel like a fucking alien

[oak vector]

I’ve had an assessment done on me for ASD, but I have no diagnosis written on paper lols (due to it potentially affecting some things rn)

But yeah quite obvious, im quite on said spectrum

[wise bear]

Can the world give us autists a country to colonize and make better than the rest of the world pls

[wraith steeple]

In Iraq (where I originally hail from) because of my father being of Syrian origin, I couldn't even be a citizen

[oak vector]

Willing to bet it would be one of the most capable countries too

[wise bear]

We'd have the goofiest but most reliable military ever

throws grenade
dab

[oak vector]

Half the people in the military would barely even need training for their roles LOL

[wraith steeple]

So my murican born family is like "oh so that's why BassBone has a Syrian passport"

[wise bear]

how is it that MENA has such good looking food and pretty places but hate anyone that isn't just a boring-ass normal human

[oak vector]

“So you’ll just need to click that button”
“Oh nvm you’ve already started the plane and we’re ready to taxi, good job”

[wise bear]

PRETTY MUCH LOL

"Okay now just drop it into drive-"

"Oh we're already doing 60 in reverse and sideways"

[oak vector]

“So uh how do you know how to fly this plane so well”
smirks in 2000 hours of MSFS

[wise bear]

dealwithit sunglasses lower as the 13 year marker ticks over in DCS

[wraith steeple]

Because MENA leaders have small wee-wee egos and only like to be surrounded by yes-man

[brave panther]

“No microfiber beyond this mark”

[wise bear]

YES

[oak vector]

why do I want this autist country to be a thing now
PLEASE

[wise bear]

it'd be so good

we'd have the best internet

[wise bear]

this is mega gay :(

[oak vector]

Omg
All the trains
And trucks
And planes
And memes
And tanks
And helicopters
And submarines
And aircraft carriers
And sail boats
And cargo ships
😍 😍 😍 😍

[wise bear]

We'd have the best commerce/transport logistics

...cm?

[shell void]

yeah that's much more reasonable than the smaller one you were looking at previously

[wise bear]

"Train horns permitted outside of city limits. Enforced by aircraft."

[whole coral]

US infrastructure needs to look like Chinas ngl

[oak vector]

“How do you know how to reverse park this B Double trailer… it’s your first time driving”

“Ive got like 1500 hours in ATS don’t worry about it bro”

[whole coral]

China is just so far ahead in technology tbh

Singapore too

[oak vector]

Peyton I’ll talk to Anthony Albanese and I’ll see if we can buy Tasmania

[wise bear]

china may have tech but they have a royally fucked up govt

[wise bear]

nah lets buy out the cascadia bioregion

[whole coral]

That’s true

[shell void]

idk it's pretty based when they execute criminal business owners

[young void]

XD

[wise bear]

Dude alabama executed someone by firing squad recently

i think it was alabama

[oak vector]

oh WOW
That place is huge

Sounds like a deal

[heavy mantle]

what did the person do?

[oak vector]

Time to have airports in every city

[whole coral]

Im so glad executions today are “humane”. Relatively speaking atleast.

[wraith steeple]

Though with the regime in Syria gone, the rebuild looks promising. Coming back for a visit after all these years away is on my bucket list for sure. So I guess it's not all doom and gloom..... (Hopefully)

[wise bear]

You can google

[whole coral]

If you go to medieval times there was all sorts of torture before executions

Some of it very graphic

[wise bear]

the brass bull was horrid

[young void]

I like the one with the horses
