Snow

[vestal granite]

they better fix this snow shit fast

[low sorrel]

lots of rain

[topaz veldt]

I am thinking of putting a heater in the shed

[wise bear]

An small wood stove

[topaz veldt]

I would but I can't

[wise bear]

lame

[topaz veldt]

yeah

[whole coral]

There could be more snow here around Christmas

[topaz veldt]

but I have 60A 240v out there

[brave panther]

server rack?

[whole coral]

Tracking the next potential snow maker

[topaz veldt]

lol would be cool, but my back throbs thinking of it

[brave panther]

ai shack

[low sorrel]

why does hello kitty island adventure have denuvo

[topaz veldt]

only useful for like 5 months

[low sorrel]

how many people are really pirating hello kitty island adventure

[wise bear]

yes

[vestal granite]

depends, does it have denuvo

[brave panther]

you could install a small mini split

[vestal granite]

im not pirating it if it has denuvo

[topaz veldt]

I could

[vestal granite]

you could install a fire

[topaz veldt]

That'd make for 5 AC units on this property lol

[wise bear]

Could just do a wall heater

[low sorrel]

yes

[brave panther]

those have frost protection mode

[drifting garden]

would updating my bios hurt if i am getting 1% low stutters and poor frame syncing and pacing? just want to make sure updating my bios wont cause more issues

[topaz veldt]

There's really no insulation in there though

[vestal granite]

yeah those words make sense it wouldnt hurt

[topaz veldt]

I was thinking a like 2500-5000w infrared heater

[vestal granite]

alright, time to install a gas line for your shed

[steel stream]

just use your 5090s

[topaz veldt]

Namely because after running the snow blower the auger is iced up and melting for days and days

[topaz veldt]

its far though I could do propane

[topaz veldt]

1000w may not cut it

[wise bear]

theres a 2kw option

[topaz veldt]

Maybe like 3 of these? https://a.co/d/7jxpza9

[vestal granite]

$100 is suspiciously low

[brave panther]

yea idk

[vestal granite]

vegan heat

[topaz veldt]

yeah I have two 5kw versions of that in my garage

[wise bear]

its a resistive wall heater like

[slim pebble]

Heat it up with a couple of 5090s 5nail5

[wise bear]

its a coil with a thermostat it's not gonna be very expensive

[brave panther]

i dont like IR heaters
they make me hot and cold at the same time

[topaz veldt]

best case its like 600-800W

[topaz veldt]

Yah but if it were like 12' up

[slim pebble]

You have five of them though 🤣

[topaz veldt]

shed is.... 12x20 or 14x20 or so

[topaz veldt]

But I need some inside lol

[vestal granite]

when in doubt, heat it up with a lawnmower engine and a rube goldberg contraption to trickle gasoline into it from a giant tank that definitely wont combust randomly

[pallid marsh]

Should replace it with 5kw worth of ai or crypto mining hardware

[arctic bronze]

Lawnmower engine 🔥

[topaz veldt]

I brought the snow blower into my heated garage to de-ice and it pisses me off

[vestal granite]

motor

whateverchamacallit

[topaz veldt]

If renting out GPUs wasn't so shit

[drifting garden]

im checking my util when playing val and getting 1% low stutters is this all normal? im not familiar with util enough lol

[topaz veldt]

latest 5090 Master btw

[brave panther]

rent out ram

[vestal granite]

cold storage ram

[arctic bronze]

Gonna get stolen

[vestal granite]

high latency ram

[drifting garden]

are u chatting to me?

[vestal granite]

no

[drifting garden]

ok ok

[vestal granite]

i dont know who im talking to i just send messages like a firehose of thoughts

[brave panther]

i have headacke from powerbi, had 7 hours of training today and 14 more hours to go

[vestal granite]

Hard-Disk RAM, (h)DRAM for short (not swap)

[wise bear]

You should maybe clarify what you mean by "1% low stutters"

[vestal granite]

its worth mentioning that you will almost never get any useful information about stutters from task manager's performance numbers

[wise bear]

yeah that's.. pointless.

[brave panther]

infact having it opened will impact performance

[vestal granite]

its like checking your house thermostat to see if your oven's preheated

okay i cooked with that one that was a good one

sometimes i make those sentences and it doesnt make that much sense but that was perfect that was a perfect one big pat on the back for me, from me, with that one there

[drifting garden]

i made a whole reddit post on my situation its a bit complex

i can send u a linkif ur willing to read it but if not i totally get it

ive been trying to fix this for soo dang long smh

[wise bear]

I don't do reddit, sorry.

[drifting garden]

oh ok

[vestal granite]

is it in any specific game

[low sorrel]

You don't use Reddit?

[wise bear]

No, god no

[low sorrel]

I thought you of all people would use Reddit icl

[drifting garden]

pretty much my situation is i have a 4080s and 9800x3d and i build my pc in december last year and it was fine untill a few months ago when i noticed screen tearing and poor frame pacing. i turned on g sync + v sync to reduce the tearing and it worked but my 1% lows stutter now. also is worth mentioing that i play on QDOLED 360hz

[wise bear]

No I don't use fucking reddit lmao

[vestal granite]

thats gotta be rude

[drifting garden]

oh jeez whats wrong with reddit i jsut got it yesterday xD

[wise bear]

The only social media I have is fucking discord

[vestal granite]

i use reddit for local stuff only

[low sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/zaunvi-caitvitwt-gif-1251875630135871970

[wise bear]

It's a toxic playground of idiots and unintelligent shitposting

[edgy laurel]

Global framerate cap to 328 FPS https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1lokih2/putting_misconceptions_about_optimal_fps_caps/

[drifting garden]

aye guilty u remember me right LOL

[vestal granite]

like "oh this event is happening nearby" or "this store has a thing right now" etc

[low sorrel]

Inb4 no

[edgy laurel]

@drifting garden

[keen wigeon]

reddit is a nope from me as well so we stand together

[arctic bronze]

Same, only time i "use" it is to find a solution to my problem

[edgy laurel]

I'll never understand the reddit hate. It must be just people that use the default set of subs

[wise bear]

"the frontpage of the internet" yeah and it should be burned so we can get to world events/.

[low sorrel]

Hey r/bulidapcsales is nice

[drifting garden]

reading it rn

[drifting garden]

all games

[edgy laurel]

reddit is what you want it to be. join the wrong subs full of people you don't agree with, sure, you'll hate it. So don't

[wise bear]

Tumblr pre-yahoo was better than reddit

[vestal granite]

i think people forget its basically just a crappy easy to make forums thing, like i mentioned the local events stuff u cant really find alternatives to reddit for that other than nextdoor which is just complainers

[low sorrel]

Icl I find politics is too much on Reddit nowadays

[keen wigeon]

I don't use it because I don't have bandwidth to filter through a garbage barge

[pallid marsh]

X is way better /s

[arctic bronze]

I just dont use it, i dont use social media tbh, i only use discord

[low sorrel]

I don't wanna fucking read about John Redditors take on isreal-palaistine I just wanna look at funny memes

[vestal granite]

theres cool little niche subreddits i like like r/hotdogs its all about hotdogs man

[slim pebble]

That’s really clean.

[vestal granite]

thats the value in reddit not the memes or the politics

[arctic bronze]

Politics is a rabbit hole of negativity

[edgy laurel]

you've done the basics. DDU, XMP/EXPO off, various framerate caps, chipset driver updates, BIOS updates, windows fresh install, etc...

[hoary hatch]

I don't use social media
I only use social media

[low sorrel]

Well according to the Aussie government...

[wise bear]

Discord is better than facebook, or twitter, or reddit, or anyother stupid shit

[edgy laurel]

discord is just chatroom, its useless for anything else

[wise bear]

^

[arctic bronze]

I dont use conventional social media, i use discord mainly to play with friends or talk about motorcycles and sometimes tech

[drifting garden]

rn i have done amd chipset updates and thats it but i did a bit of other things u didnt mention. currently trying the reddit post u sent rn

[low sorrel]

I use Instagram as chat room aswell

[vestal granite]

politics is a big cia mind control experiment to drive us further apart before grand theft auto 6 becomes the catalyst for world war 3 so we all work the lithium mines to supply terminator 4 - J.C (john connor) with more sweet, succulent batteries

stock up on AA batteries now, folks. things are about to get bumpy.

personally ive got 15,000 batteries ready to go, its the currency of the future.

[random flame]

As an old Tumblr user, I agree. Lol.

[low sorrel]

Real question

[edgy laurel]

I hate that they try to make it as useful (permanent, indexable and searchable) as forums but it never will be

[vestal granite]

i store them in a cardboard box next to my matches and isopropyl alcohol and water heater

[low sorrel]

Who the fuck stocks up on non rechargeable AAs?

[vestal granite]

the terminator

[wise bear]

rechargable AAs generally suck ass

[edgy laurel]

i need two double AA's. my tv remote has needed them for like 3 months

[low sorrel]

I love rechargable AAs

[edgy laurel]

i'll never remember when i'm actually at the store

[wise bear]

they have a third of the capacity of a standard AA

[brave panther]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTJvdGcb7Fs

[low sorrel]

You know how many AAs I eouldnhave to go through for my quest 2 controllers

[vestal granite]

i use rechargable AAs for my mouse and nothing else cause everything else is usb-c rechargeable and will turn into an explosive pillow eventually and ill have to buy a new one

[hoary hatch]

I don't really use AAs anymore

[wise bear]

and if they're NiCd they're toxic as fuck and have very few recharge cycles before they're worthless

[hoary hatch]

My LG remote takes them I guess but it goes years on a set of bats

[arctic bronze]

Many ppl

[wise bear]

yeah I've got like 30

[arctic bronze]

Yeah

[wise bear]

mix of lithium and coppertop

[brave panther]

i use these, they are about 5$ per piece

[hoary hatch]

I have a replacement battery pack for my Xbox controller so I can use it with a charging dock

[wise bear]

Nope, don't trust em

[vestal granite]

ive got the ones that cause cancer but 75% of americans will have cancer by the time they die so

[keen wigeon]

these get so damn hot I had to recycle them

[arctic bronze]

Trust.

[hoary hatch]

My flashlight takes an 18650 with a micro USB port on it

[brave panther]

what
never had such issue

[arctic bronze]

18650 is goated

I have 6

[wise bear]

see an 18650 I understand but we don't need USB AA batteries

[edgy laurel]

AA's with Type C ports are funny to me

[keen wigeon]

the ones I had were so hot I could probably brand someone with them lol probably just the set I had

[vestal granite]

yeah i need to charge 4 batteries lemme get 4 fuckin cables

[drifting garden]

is it worth doing a windows fresh install without deleting files and keeping everything?

[low sorrel]

I just use these

[brave panther]

they are liion with integrated charger and buck converter to make them 1.5v

[wise bear]

[hoary hatch]

Why french

[edgy laurel]

No, its not. Especially for performance issues. Defeats the purpose.

[topaz veldt]

nah because rent varies - once Jan 1 hits I am dumping like 300 DIMMs worth

[drifting garden]

figured

[wise bear]

A little bit of deferment never hurt no taxman..

[vestal granite]

i use EBL rechargables i got for $10 for a pack of 4, lost one dont know where it went and one is in my mouse and the other 2 sit on the charger permanently

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/player-gamescage-fadel-battery-fursona-gif-20492223

[low sorrel]

Just do a usb stick reinstall

[brave panther]

https://tenor.com/view/stocks-crash-trading-busy-working-gif-16227323

[topaz veldt]

Yeah I need to get into next year

[brave panther]

after you dump

[topaz veldt]

lol let's see - I have a 50/50 record of hitting the right time

[drifting garden]

okay well the method used in that reddit post didnt work im still getting 1% low stutters so im gonna try updating my bios now is that a good idea? @edgy laurel

[low sorrel]

What capacity are the dimms

[pallid marsh]

I could've made like $20k if I bought 125 ddr5 32gb kits at $95 and sold them now

[wise bear]

what the fuck does 1% low stutters even MEAN

[low sorrel]

Real

[vestal granite]

stutter stutters

[drifting garden]

my 1% low stutters?

lmao

[edgy laurel]

not without doing some of the other things first

[vestal granite]

bad 1% lows

[wise bear]

What does that phrase mean. Explain that without using terminology.

[brave panther]

not as much as aaa with type c port on em

[potent wing]

thats

[wise bear]

What. Kind. Of stuttering.

[edgy laurel]

presumably means 1% lows are dropping very low and being felt

[potent wing]

gore of my comfort charachter

[vestal granite]

ok 40% of the battery is charger

[low sorrel]

Wtf

[drifting garden]

okay i feel like my issue is bad nvidia drivers bc like it wasnt always like this. i used to play and not have any issues. should i roll back to a driver that is known to be stabel or sum

[pallid marsh]

Me talking to cute women stutters?

[vestal granite]

whats next, coin batteries with USB-C chargers?

[potent wing]

AAA DC connections when?

[brave panther]

they also light up when charging

[topaz veldt]

lol - I picked up some lots of decomms I bought. The latest-ish one was $2500 on my part but came with 280 DIMMs of 32GB 2Rx4 2133-2400T. I should say that I bought it in October/Nov, picked up 3 weeks ago.

[low sorrel]

how can you stutter if you don't talk to them

[potent wing]

Do they also cost like alot

[wise bear]

I'm right here.

[vestal granite]

so much is wrong with this photo

[vestal granite]

[abstract tulip]

damn

[brave panther]

same price per battery as duracell rechargable nimh

[vestal granite]

in 1st image, left side needs to go down more

[wise bear]

Actually push the card into the slot.

[pallid marsh]

But it's only $17 for 1600mah!

[wise bear]

It locks in place.

[arctic bronze]

So much wasted space

[abstract tulip]

i tried but it wont go in any deeper

[wise bear]

It will.

[potent wing]

....dont

[arctic bronze]

Reinstall

[abstract tulip]

[vestal granite]

it pulls data from blog articles from spam websites who AI generate their content with the same AI

1600mah single use for $17 vs AliExpress rechargeable 10,000 mah for $4-12

[low sorrel]

me personally i ain't trusting aliexpress battery banks

[arctic bronze]

😭

[topaz veldt]

this was when i was troubleshooting that fucking GPU

[arctic bronze]

Yeah i understand that lol

[random flame]

Absolutely not, and whoever thought it was, I say if you know that yourself, prove it to them.

[topaz veldt]

lol it was like that date at which this PC was torn apart, so just got it back together today - feels good

[low sorrel]

why did you install 580.88 twice

[vestal granite]

i found a 10,000mAh rechargeable phone battery thing on the ground in philadelphia airport next to a gross chair i use it to charge my travel shaver (its a regular shaver that i travel with)

[potent wing]

msi saying the ubuntu installer is bad and saying security violation

[vestal granite]

you see, in philadelphia airport they have chairs from goodwill they put next to a bunch of windows which are cool you get a good view of the garbage on the tarmac (adds grip to the plane tires)

[vestal granite]

secure boot

Frantic version downloading

ik

[topaz veldt]

It is cool to see Toshibia/Kioxia has cool fab but fuuuuuck their firmware dept

[brave panther]

does anyone know why this psu is marketed as gold rated while box states cybernetics platinum?

on box i recieved it also says platinum

[topaz veldt]

Amazon mis list

RM1000e is plat

[brave panther]

on psu spreadsheet it is also "gold"

[topaz veldt]

I think there's discrepancy because it fails some Platinum but makes Cybernetics platinum

[vapid belfry]

Is 32gbs of ram not enough to play Star citizen and Ashes of creation? Could there be something off with my system? I get huge fps drops that last a minute or two on those games then come back to normal..

DDR4 btw

[topaz veldt]

its CLEAResult gold, Cybernetics Platinum

[arctic bronze]

64 is minimum

[topaz veldt]

@brave panther

[vapid belfry]

Is there anything I can do for now to lower memory usage on certain things? Or have my system priorotize memory for the game?

[arctic bronze]

Not play the game xd

[wise bear]

Windows will do that for you automatically.

[vapid belfry]

Never!

You're not going to take away my crack

[brave panther]

interesting, i was under impression that cybernetics score was more strict

[topaz veldt]

It is and its the most recent/up to date, but still people refer to 80plus

IMHO go by Cybernetics

[brave panther]

for me it will be even higher since i run it at 230v

[potent wing]

the best part of star citizen is getting a refund

[wise bear]

The best part of star citizen is never launching it and playing DCS instead.

[potent wing]

the best part is playing no mans sky instead

[vapid belfry]

Leave my scam games alone you mongrols

[topaz veldt]

fair enough

[wise bear]

no, actual planes are better

[pallid marsh]

I think I remember ltt talking about a PSU where it's labeled as gold but passed at platinum

[brave panther]

diffrence is staggering

[topaz veldt]

I mean not entirely

[low sorrel]

the best part of DCS is looking at the prices and saying ill buy it later

[young void]

[low sorrel]

i thought iwas looking at the weather for a second

[topaz veldt]

t-4-6

[young void]

Weird flexkey button mayhaps?

[topaz veldt]

yeah

[abstract tulip]

i managed to get my thing in the pcie but now the hole thing aint aligned to the bracket on my case

do i just leave it unscrewed and pray it doesnt fuck up

[young void]

It should fit in slots between the motherboard and case*

In the back then the front bracket should line up

[wise bear]

Yeah but I actually have money and don't care

get good

[pallid marsh]

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/power-supply-units/why-dont-the-ratings-of-corsair-psus-on-cybenetics-match-the-ratings-on-the-corsair-webstore/ Out of those 100 units, 15 reach a gold rating, but 85 actually reach the higher platinum rating.

Now, we COULD rate them at platinum and sell them at a higher price, but that would not be fair since 15% of people could get a worse product than they paid for. Instead, we do it the other way around so we know that everyone who buys one, will get one with that rating

[potent wing]

How did the Platinum and gold certs even become a thing

I wondered

[young void]

Efficiency is important on larger scales

[abstract tulip]

thats the thing it doesnt

is my case the problem

[pallid marsh]

@young void I'm ready for my brownies you baked the other day

[young void]

They are very rich and full of walnuts lol

[abstract tulip]

do i just find some way to beat my case up til the bracket reaches the bracket hole yhing on my gpu

[topaz veldt]

Government agencies

[young void]

https://tenor.com/view/cheers-brownies-gif-11396225

[pallid marsh]

Even better I love walnuts

[brave panther]

interesting

[young void]

Id try reseating it, but cant be sure as to why

[topaz veldt]

Hyte X50 is the first Hyte case I think is interesting

[abstract tulip]

is it fine if my gpu slightly bends more to the part with the bracket

[wise bear]

yes.

[abstract tulip]

or will that damage it

[wise bear]

Its fine.

[abstract tulip]

alr

[young void]

As long as it plugs in and is held up firmly to not damage the pcie slot*

[pallid marsh]

If you drive over speed bumps

Or pot holes

Speaking of pot holes I need to report one

[topaz veldt]

OK Jay did someting cool for once

[young void]

Huh oh jayz I see, wonder whats the top is for?

[topaz veldt]

top?

[young void]

Psu slot?, maybes. Ill put the vid on

[abstract tulip]

is it fine if i leave my gpu plugged in the pcie slot without plugging psu connectors to it

[topaz veldt]

PSU yes

[young void]

Just wont turn on* hehe

[young void]

Kinda neats ill give it a browse see whats up with it, only $160 ain't to shabby considering it gives color choices

He look like hes lost weight or just me?

[green marsh]

meanwhile Superflower a decade ago was selling a product called Golden King... With 80Plus Platinum rating. Cause why not

[random flame]

Oh boy...

[potent wing]

they could just ignore it

[random flame]

That depends on how intrusive the Copilot itself will be set to be.

Some smart features not only are hard to turn off, but they also can get in your face and even just act as a hindrance to using the tv at all, even when you attempt to ignore it.

[young void]

Rebar Causing issues?

[low sorrel]

didn't they remove google assisant eariler

[foggy sedge]

For my aio which one of those plugs is for the fan and for the pump (the white or black)

[pallid marsh]

Use your mobo manual

[foggy sedge]

Its like 2 pages and doesn’t talk about this

[pure garnet]

what board

[foggy sedge]

b550 gigabyte

I just took a gander lol

[pure garnet]

b550 what

there are 56 gigabyte b550 motherboards

You're just salty about the tv

[pallid marsh]

Samsung can't make good TVs

[shell void]

Montech X5 is still $40 at newegg

[hoary hatch]

They can make good tv hardware

[shell void]

with four preinstalled fans

[hoary hatch]

But tizen is ass

[steel stream]

they need to make the S90D not paper thin

[pallid marsh]

https://youtu.be/VvI0TtwsqX0?si=hVTfcQc8Norw9zKY they can't even make real mini led TVs

[turbid locust]

Part of climbing the corporate ladder is unintentionally hearing your bosses talk about spending your rent on sports betting

[steel stream]

you should be spending your rent on sports betting to be like them

[turbid locust]

real

it’s obviously they key to success

[hoary hatch]

Are these throwaway fans or usable

[wise bear]

yes

[hoary hatch]

Maybe the person buying a $40 case isn't that concerned with noisy fans tbh

[frank zealot]

fuck you fedex, WHY CAN'T YOU MAKE THIS EASIER

[wise bear]

because holiday logistics

everyone and their mom is buying things online

[frank zealot]

no, it's data downloads, they LITERALLY push out data at modem speeds

[hoary hatch]

My least favorite trend

Although the G5 is good

[steel stream]

G5 os moce amd sp;od

stroke

[hoary hatch]

Since it's designed for wall mounting, it is just a little thicker

[frank zealot]

my GF asked how long we have to keep the box from the TV.

My response "forever"

[steel stream]

G5 is nice and solid

[frank zealot]

"If we ever have to move, I need that box to move it."

[shell void]

fedex is easily my least favorite courier

[frank zealot]

From a business standpoint, Fedex is WAY better than the alternatives

[potent wing]

Nah I had a 32 gb 6000 cl30 kit but was running out of memory when running ai models on my 5090 so I went searching for ram and for some reason the price for the dominator kit had barley gone up so it was cheaper then any other kit bigger then 32 gb

i bought a vga2hdmi adapter and it works… well… above it’s spec

[turbid locust]

XRP is under $2 rn if you guys do funny crypto stuff

[south shuttle]

it advertises 1080p but it can do 2k (not qhd)

[frank zealot]

it does work. Does yours have the USB Cable for power?

[pure garnet]

i will say theming aside it’s nice having a functional am5 board again

my pc is boring and that’s wonderful

[south shuttle]

yes

as far as i know it is required on these cheap devices

[frank zealot]

Want to hear the dumbest monitor cable setup I've had to figure out?

[south shuttle]

i couldn’t find a vga2dp without paying some insane sums or using two converters or not being sure if they work because most of them are just dp2vga and not vga2dp

[frank zealot]

[Dumbest Fucking Server in existence] --> VGA Output --> VGA Splitter Box
--> [Port 1] 1080p monitor in the rack
--> [Port 2] VGA2HDMI Adapter --> HDMI + USB to Ethernet Adapter --> 75' Ethernet Cable --> HDMI + USB Receiver --> KVM --> Display / Keyboard out that they actually use

[south shuttle]

my head expllod

[low sorrel]

Why don't you have the board

[frank zealot]

Why, you ask, is this setup so patently monstrous and stupid?

Simple: Whatever bullshit custom OS the vendor puts on this box DOES NOT LET YOU SET A FUCKING SCREEN RESOLUTION AT THE GUI.

It literally just reads what the screen offers and uses that.

[turbid locust]

🤷‍♂️

I think my weird ass Amazon 8500G is gonna be here before the mpower

[frank zealot]

And for whatever reason a VGA -> Ethernet extender, or the HDMI Adapter to Ethernet Extender did NOT send any DID info (or whatever VGA Supports) back to the fucking box, so it ran at some bullshit like 1024 or 720P and was fucking painful to look at

so I HAD to add the VGA Splitter, so the monitor on Port 1 could tell the server "Run at 1080p" and not look like complete ass

[south shuttle]

retailers like to sell those junky adapters and splitters here that lock res to 720p

or don’t allow higher

and charge 3x for outdated and possibly already overpriced product

[frank zealot]

both adpaters I tried support 1440p or higher.
and they work fine at 1080

[south shuttle]

what are the models

[frank zealot]

for which part?

[south shuttle]

vga2hdmi

[frank zealot]

ahha, that probably caps at 1080, because IIRC VGA Caps there

VGA has shit bandwidth, so I doubt you'll get much higher without a CPU doing upscaling

[south shuttle]

2k should be the cap for vga

[low sorrel]

Real question why do we measure monitors in nits instead of lumens

[frank zealot]

2k30?

I haven't tried to run it above 1080, because that's the screens we have

[low sorrel]

Like I know what 1000 lumens is

But i don't actually know what 1000 nits is

[frank zealot]

but the adapters that went to ethernet specifically state higher support. (And up to 4K on the HDMI+USB -> Ethernet adapter)

[frank zealot]

Why not candella?

[low sorrel]

When measure monitors in candella

[south shuttle]

i believe it was 50 or 60hz and some wonky resolution above 1080p

[frank zealot]

It's a valid measure of brightness, so why not?

Because someone decided not to lol

[frank zealot]

1920x1200

aka: 1920 but in 16x10

[south shuttle]

not 1920

[frank zealot]

maybe 2048? But that's more of a "this exists on paper" res than anything people actually used

[hoary hatch]

[hoary hatch]

What makes it funny

[low sorrel]

We should bring back VGA

4k 240hz analog when

[turbid locust]

Cause it’s an APU and I can do 10000+MT/s lol

[south shuttle]

it still looks grain better on a 1440p display

[hoary hatch]

Why not 8700g

[south shuttle]

but better doesn’t mean not horrendous

[turbid locust]

because when you buy a cpu for funny screenshots you typically buy the cheapest that can do it

[hoary hatch]

Fair enough

[low sorrel]

Are you gonna sell the cpu after the funny screenshot

Is the 8600g Zen 4 or Zen 5

[south shuttle]

i prefer shoving 230v into the gpu

[frank zealot]

iirc all 8000's are zen4. They were out well before Z5

[south shuttle]

it’s better than undervolting bc undervolt is lame

my reason is bigger number better and smaller number worse

[frank zealot]

(although 8000's are their own part numbers, so they're weird. Phoenix and such naming schemes.)

[low sorrel]

Dude amds naming scheme pisses me the fuck off

[edgy laurel]

when in doubt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Ryzen_processors

[south shuttle]

zen 4 or combination of zen 4 and zen 4c

i think the 8600g is all zen 4 cores

and going lower is more zen 4c

which are basicly lame cores

[low sorrel]

Wow is there really no Zen 5 APUs

[edgy laurel]

not yet

[frank zealot]

not yet

[low sorrel]

Like I know we shit on the APUs but they get funny screenshots

[frank zealot]

AMD APUs lost a lot of their purpose after AMD added an iGPU to all their main line chips

[south shuttle]

le elitism yee

[frank zealot]

the APUs are absolute trash

[south shuttle]

u don’t need naww u need the latest rtx pro bw 6000 for word and spreadsheets

nobody cares about efficiency

fuck electricity, fuck nature you already bought a desktop

[low sorrel]

Athlon 200ge tho

[south shuttle]

those aliexpress mini pcs are interesting

considering ram pricing

[frank zealot]

and?
Now that AMD Chips have GPUs onboard normally... the APUs are ass-tier

the use-cases for AMD 8000 APUs is stupid narrow

[low sorrel]

I've just realized I've used an 8 core cpu for like 50% of my life now

[south shuttle]

the apus have much better igpus than the standardo cpus

[south shuttle]

it is

[frank zealot]

yes, and how many people buying all in one shitboxes care about the graphics?

[south shuttle]

i tried the igpus on 7000 and it was one of the worst experiences

i guess fine for word

but if you want to do… light or if you mention slightly moderate gaming the igpu ceases to exist

[low sorrel]

The market for those CPUs is my old econ/business/tech Ed/computer teacher

All he does is emulate some old console games

And web browsing

He's on like an old core 2 quad from way back in the day when he used to be into pcs

[frank zealot]

if you go to PS1 or older, the iGPU on ryzen 7000 or Intel will run that no problem generally

[south shuttle]

i guess for people that want a desktop for whatever reason, maybe they want expandable storage? or upgradability but need low end gpu + cpu

and efficiency

[low sorrel]

He wanted to do PS2 and Xbox fames

[south shuttle]

they’re also more space efficient as of desktops

you don’t have a dedicated card in your pc

[frank zealot]

Arrow Lake's iGPU is about on par with a 1050 TI

cuz Arc XE Cores

and if it's mobile, it's even better

[south shuttle]

the ryzen apus are tad better

[low sorrel]

He asked me about it all the back in my first year of highschool and was still asking about it last year

I wonder what he's thinking about it now that ram prices are through the roof

[random flame]

Gonna have to agree there too.

Hmmm... From what I know, most current day cpus and their igpus can handle emulating either of those two.

So apparently this seems to have happened.

[fringe vigil]

hi

[random flame]

And read at 375.

Like really, this is the side step for archival storage services to take up if they want something other than tape storage right now, and look at all it's capable of.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_Disc_Archive

It took years to get there, but with the right tech that was developed over time and had it all down without reinventing everything the industry started with.

[potent wing]

Why would we want storage that small

[random flame]

THAT is basically the thing to beat at this stage.

[potent wing]

Mfs would lose those drives rofl

[random flame]

Eh. It exists. That's about as much a reason Sony could probably give to be making it still.

[brave panther]

Issue with optical media is that it isn't suitable for long term archival due to data rot

[random flame]

Well, that's all forms of storage, each one having different lifespans.

[brave panther]

Lto passed it years ago

[potent wing]

wdym the cloud has infinite storage /s

[random flame]

I bet the cloud also uses tapes and discs too. Lol.

[whole coral]

Glass storage or DNA storage is cool though

[brave panther]

Discs - doubt it
Tape - yes

[potent wing]

let’s just store data on chips in our brains

[random flame]

Well I'm talking optical media in general, since that's technically what 5D glass was supposed to be.

[brave panther]

Lto 10 will have storage capacity of 40tb uncompressed, 100 compressed

[potent wing]

I mean

[random flame]

It's already obvious tapes still rule the roost.

[potent wing]

What is the biggest storage device can you even buy

Comerically

[topaz veldt]

like retail or what

seagate exos come 30TB

[potent wing]

But slow hard drive /s

[topaz veldt]

they are slow

[potent wing]

I’m still using a external ssd for storage sad

[random flame]

It's faster in speed than tape storage though, but then like... What can we say for long term storage with hdds compared to tapes and discs?

[potent wing]

What about SSDs?

[floral spear]

Is 4TB the standard now? Or still 2TB?

[brave panther]

E1.l goes up to 61tb
E3.l is at 240tb

[random flame]

AD was just for those who wanted something fast, but it stores less and has a lower lifespan.
LTO is the general standard and is usually the one everyone turns to as it's both cheaper and alread has tons of infrastructure to work with.

5D and DNA were basically supposed to unseat both in a way, though they're a long way off from being able to apparently.

So only four options exist (LTO, AD, HDD, and SSD), and only one of them is reliable enough (LTO) and the other one apparently lost development continuation last year too (AD).

[topaz veldt]

reliable enough?

[random flame]

I did reiterate that "all storage experiences data rot" earlier, so the one with the best storage infrastructure will be the one best maintained over the other.

[wise bear]

Bweh, what a shit nap

Ooh tape talk

[turbid locust]

[topaz veldt]

LTO has gone the way of the dodo

[random flame]

Which stemmed from this.
#tech-chat-2 message

[topaz veldt]

while not "dead and safe" HDD based backups are more "reliable" in that the data is far easier to actually verify in tact

that's why, for instance, Dell EMC Data Domain, etc., use HDD based backends

[random flame]

5D starting to catch up... Or at least will 10 years later. Lol.

[wise bear]

Oh we've been doing this for a decade in different formats lol

[topaz veldt]

they use VTL (virtual tape library) controls but its on disk

but you want to verify like 15TB compressed LTO7 data.... it'll take eons

[wise bear]

Vrrrrrrr

[topaz veldt]

nevermind like 30TB LTO19

LTO10*

[wise bear]

Biggus tapeus

[random flame]

Sooo what's this then?

[topaz veldt]

I think LTO10 only does like 200-300 MB/s

[topaz veldt]

Just because its produced doens't mean you should be using it

[potent wing]

Gbps speeds when

[topaz veldt]

on tape? never

the tape will literally fall apart

[wise bear]

I produce noxious gas after ingesting beans, doesn't mean we should use the methane to power my lawnmower

[topaz veldt]

write yourself 75TB of data to LTO10 at like 200-300 MB/s, you will never be able to verify it before the next backup window lol

[random flame]

I mean, I'd moreso agree if it were ODA because that one lost support and only stores up to 5.5 tb anyway, while requiring a more expensive build out compared to doing tapes or hdds.

[topaz veldt]

I will pay you $1,000 if you can find me a company that has petabyte scale data backing up to tape

[potent wing]

google

[topaz veldt]

nope

[wise bear]

Didn't IBM use one of those massive tape robots

[random flame]

It might not be that simple anymore to find out, at least accurately anyway.

[brave panther]

[wise bear]

Ooooo

[topaz veldt]

[topaz veldt]

LTO exists for small companies

[random flame]

And I wouldn't trust Google that much with these kinds of niche topics in terms of actually finding relevant information that's even up to date about it.

[topaz veldt]

you simply cannot write the data and verify it

and no backup is to be considered useful if its not tested

[random flame]

Fair point.

[brave panther]

[topaz veldt]

but I can't do it monday and then again tuesday

the other thing people forget is how impactful backups are on performance

[random flame]

Lol wut.

[topaz veldt]

so you cannot afford to have backups running for days

[turbid locust]

like you’d know anything about this, 5nail

[topaz veldt]

lol

[wise bear]

I get to go to Chinese buffet next week I'm excited

[brave panther]

Yep i was talking about archival data, not day to day backup

[random flame]

I went to one of the ones I hadn't been to in a while a few weeks ago.
Didn't feel ill or bloated afterwards for once. Lol.

[topaz veldt]

oof

[wise bear]

It's a new place up by my sister and it's huge so I'm stoked for some Peking duck and eggrolls

Oh my god and stir fry noods yesss

[topaz veldt]

I had to migrate VMs over to my synology while I reconfig'd my flash array

logging into a VM I am like wtf is it so slow

fuggin 10 gbps nfs over spinning disks

[odd sable]

assuming max (uncompressed) speed (400MB/s) and max uncompressed size (40TB), 28 hours to write, 28 hours to verify.
the better part of 3 days (particularly accounting for real world you aren't holding 400MB/s) isn't great, but if you are doing weekly backups to tape, there's enough time to write it out and verify before the next cycle starts.

[wise bear]

Did you get bitlocker boy sorted

[potent wing]

no

[odd sable]

but also seems he cant read, so, theres that

[wise bear]

Lmao

[random flame]

Lol whut.

[odd sable]

i told him to click "assign drive letter", apparently "change drive letter and paths" isn't close enough, or he didn't read the menu

though i was doing other things, so i missed when that was sent

[wise bear]

He's just one of those people who needs their hand held every step

[topaz veldt]

Except here's the minor issue - anyone who is required to have long term retention by law or insurance or other policy.... isn't doing weekly backups

LTO anything has not been viable for some time

[odd sable]

daily?

[topaz veldt]

At least daily

[random flame]

Just like with today's games that do so much handholding, instead of the stuff back then that were suitably difficult in a way that fosters you to adapt better.

[odd sable]

i mean, in that case, multiple drives?

[brave panther]

Blast from the past

[topaz veldt]

like.... hundreds?

Its not feasible

[odd sable]

if you are over 400MB/s of data generation on average, you're going to need multiple

[topaz veldt]

Also go ahead and keep an open snapshot for 28 hours on a highly transactional database 😐

[topaz veldt]

We are talking PB scale above, 400 MB/s is idle

[brave panther]

Transfer to flash, then dump to tape

[topaz veldt]

You'll have 400 MB/s in /var/log lol

[topaz veldt]

why wouldn't I just write to data domain?

[odd sable]

if you are at scales like that, then yes, maybe hundreds

but also, it really depends on how often you need backups taken to tape

i said weekly, but i dont mean weekly in general that'd be weekly to tape

you can absolutely use HDDs for the daily, and then dump a weekly to tape

[brave panther]

I need to check how much data does my logging generate

[topaz veldt]

if we dumped our HDD to tape we'd be continuously writing to tape

Tape is done-zo

[odd sable]

that seems like a reasonable way to use tape to me

[topaz veldt]

You prob don't have like 40 PB of active data

[odd sable]

no, but if i had a backup solution that was running 24/7, and finished as i needed to start a new one, but was cheap, seems fine to me

[potent wing]

Id just use a old mac for storage /s

[topaz veldt]

You would be constantly chasing start/end jobs

Trust me, I have lived having to architect around this shit

[fringe vigil]

jolly

[potent wing]

Shame on me, i own a extern hdd

[topaz veldt]

Tape is just not reliable compared to HDD based backup platforms today

[odd sable]

the thing id want to use tape for, over HDD or SSD, is long term backup

[random flame]

I think it's just not reliable for constant backups personally.

[odd sable]

ie: somewhere you shove the backups you keep for years

not the ones you keep for days, weeks, months

[topaz veldt]

Believe or not, our contractual obligations for long term retention... tape is not valid

I worked in pharma/healthcare - before that was defense - currently fintech. The only place that allowed 7 - 20 years on tape was DOD, but that was when LTO5 was huge.

Like 1 Gbps iSCSI was all the rage

Our production data environment is doing 25-35 GB/s in any given pod, 40 pods of that, our kick-out to data domain on HDD is like 200-300 GB/s sustained, LTO would never get there - it'd simply never finish, even in weeks.

[random flame]

D a m n

[topaz veldt]

we're just finishing implementing 400 and 800 Gbps switching

[random flame]

Yeah, I think it's just your current form of work then and anything similar where it doesn't make sense. Therefore, only edge cases will ever have reasons to keep using the external stuff like LTO or ODA at all and even then, I'm guessing those will eventually go away too at some point (they certainly do take a while though, that's for sure).

[topaz veldt]

LTO makes sense for your typical small medium business with like 100 - 500 VMs, maybe 150TB on disk and no high IO change rates.

but even then because the platform is so small, disk or flash based, hell cloud-based VTL setups would be cheaper and faster

[random flame]

And that's how I got to the conclusion of them taking a while to go, because all of those exists and are objectively better in various ways. Lol.

[topaz veldt]

just had my first crash on this 9950X3D rebuild lol

[edgy laurel]

define "reset my pc"

that could mean a number of things

[topaz veldt]

I am addicted to this cheese shop video/shorts

[potent bronze]

Went to settings - reset pc - deleted everything

[edgy laurel]

ok so the thing thats kinda pointless and not a proper reinstall. either way, BIOS isn't seeing a bootable volume.

[potent bronze]

Would i need to get a USB and install windows tool

[edgy laurel]

not entirely sure what you did but i'd be curious if the windows installer can see a drive to install to

[potent bronze]

Windows fished resetting and i put my name for my pc and it showed my background. I then powered down the pc

I have a rog strix b850i gaming mobo

[topaz veldt]

mitx?

[potent bronze]

Itx

[topaz veldt]

yeah i have the same one

[potent bronze]

And It has a yellow light on the mobo

[oak vector]

On my way to sign my new lease

[potent bronze]

Should I try resetting the ram

Re sitting **

[edgy laurel]

i can't see how that would have anything to do with a boot device

[topaz veldt]

yellow light is usually training no?

[wise bear]

Yellow submarineee

[edgy laurel]

i musta missed when we went from being in the BIOS to a post code

[wise bear]

[potent wing]

IN THE 90120

oh wrong one

[potent bronze]

I'll just turn off my pc and re-sit the ram

https://tenor.com/view/sup-gif-25972346

[potent bronze]

I reseated the ram and still. Nothing is showing up in the boot menu

Should I make a USB windows tool and go that way

@topaz veldt

Is there a specific USB port to put it in

What about if I accidentally clicked on clear cmos on the back of the mobo

[potent bronze]

Its yellow green.

[wise bear]

it cant be both lol

[potent bronze]

Check the picture

[wise bear]

where

A picture of the manual does not count.

[potent bronze]

@wise bear

[wise bear]

I JUST SAID

A picture of the manual. does not count.

Show us the actual damn led

[potent bronze]

I enabled the csm and now I get nothing on screen and light.

😭

[wise bear]

so disable csm, it doesn't need to be on

clear cmos

idk why you're just changing random bios settings

[potent bronze]

Can I click on clear cmos

Once the pc is on right?

[wise bear]

its either a button on your motherboard or you remove the little coin battery for a minute after unplugging power

if you can get into bios you can do it that way too

[potent bronze]

Got it.

It's a button for me

Do I need to hold it down?

[wise bear]

just press for a couple seconds

[potent bronze]

Let's see....

Im back in BIOS

I created a USB media tool of windows 11. Should I try it out??

@frank zealot

[pure garnet]

should you try the operating system you made the installer for? up to you man

[frank zealot]

What does this mean

Win11 is absolutely fine

[potent bronze]

Should I remove the 2nd drive?

Also, I did not remove the primary drive. Only the 2nd drive

[frank zealot]

I generally suggest only having one drive in for a windows install

[potent bronze]

Windows installed. I put my name for pc and password.

Once I saw my background screen I turned down pc. I did see updating when it was turning off

[frank zealot]

Uhhhh, so I'm lost

What are you actually asking

[potent bronze]

Let me start from the beginning.

1. I reset the whole pc. Went to settings - reset pc - deleted everything and ibalso asked for windows to be reinstalled.
2. Windows prompted me with name and password. Did that.
3. Turned off pc. While in black screen it said "updating"
4. Im in BIOS and cant see anything under boot priority

[frank zealot]

If the drive isn't visible in the bios there's a problem

Is it listed?

Not boot priority, but at all

[potent bronze]

In the latest photo I sent

[frank zealot]

970 evo?

[potent bronze]

Yes

I can post it again.

[frank zealot]

I'd try reinstalling off a usb

[potent bronze]

What does that mean?

[frank zealot]

Try reinstalling windows off a usb

[potent bronze]

Okay. It goes into a regular usb port??

[frank zealot]

Yes

Youtube a walk thru

Plenty exist

[potent bronze]

If I have a key should I put the key? On the video they click on it don't have a key?

[frank zealot]

You can put in the key later

Just pick the correct version

[potent bronze]

Its looking at my drives. Something is wrong with my Samsung drive

Disk 0 - not sure what that is. 15MB - i cant delete that. Why??

Then when I click on the disk 0 partition 1 it says this.

@frank zealot

If I exit this and put a new m.2 in my primary nvme slot. Can it do that?

I don't want to use my 4tb. I have that for my games only

[frank zealot]

Yeah, I wonder if the 970 is borked

Yes you can turn off the pc and replace the ssd

[potent bronze]

Okay.

[pure garnet]

delete the partition

then just click the unalloacted

you have no room to make an esp partiton or msr partition because of that partition

a windows drive has 3 partitons

[indigo walrus]

As Kyoko said, delete Disk 0 Partition 1 then select the resulting Disk 0 Unallocated Space and see if it will let you proceed. If it does not, please provide the error you receive.

[edgy laurel]

bro, arc raiders so good it brings Tfue out of retirement. screw boats and fishing, lets ride! 🤣

[potent bronze]

Changed my nvme for another one and installed windows 11. Once done going to see if I can delete thous partitions
