[fickle yacht]

to install drivers for a 7900xtx, do i literally just install amd adrenaline

[turbid locust]

you go to the drivers page and download the 7900XTX drivers

[fickle yacht]

which leads me to the amd adreanline software

[turbid locust]

correct

[livid flame]

You don’t actually have to install adrenaline

Is this ECC? It has "P" in it, but when you look up the part number, nothing seem to indicate that. It's also 8-chip per side, rather than 9-chip per side
https://www.ebay.com/itm/376890355212

[topaz veldt]

Yes that is ECC

[proven saddle]

pink

[wicked kestrel]

people say its not ... yeah, definitely for the Hynix HMA41GU6AFR8N modules. That 8 chips is most easy indicator, I guess.
No idea why its still called "P". Its still 64 bit wide

[minor herald]

that cant be ecc there only 8 chips to rank

2133p is the timing bin

[topaz veldt]

It is because its for servers, 2133P is ECC. I have a few.

[wicked kestrel]

yo. but that is 18+1 chip per side. two groups of 9 chips, and a buffer

[topaz veldt]

those are 32GB

[minor herald]

regitered ram num num

[wicked kestrel]

is pretty cool my friend has two xeon v4 nodes that wouldnt mind some of that. I dont think he will part it for particular cheap though lol

[minor herald]

thats got to be like 30k right?

[wicked kestrel]

Not sure if it is LRDIMM or RDIMM, pricing is different

32GB per stick seem to be going for between $150 to $200, but a lot of people want $300
So he is sitting on easily 150 of them? Thats like $45K. Thats car money

[proven saddle]

bruh why they think a used ram is same as new ones

[wicked kestrel]

wait what
there is no more new DDR4 isnt it

Now like, the bet is on CXMT, apparently. Rumor has it pricing is below most western competitor by at least 20%, even on current nodes

but when someone intentionally bought some chinese branded memory to test they found out its hynix dies instead. so maybe it changes

but you know its bad when A=Tech is the cheap stuff

I love when my gen 5 drive is actually put to use and steam downloads disk usage hits 1.2 gbps

Then 5 seconds later it’s back to being as slow as my internet

[edgy laurel]

thats not putting a Gen5 drive to use. Thats not even putting a SATA SSD to use.

[fickle narwhal]

Rip

[edgy laurel]

Hell, a HDD is barely breaking a sweat

1.2Gb/s is absurdly slow when comparing against storage speeds

[fickle narwhal]

Am I being tricked by the bit/ bytes thing again

[edgy laurel]

1.2Gb/s is roughly 150MB/s

[frank zealot]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Fuck yourself, Microsoft

[edgy laurel]

Big B, little b, makes all the difference

[fickle narwhal]

Oh that fucking sucks

So the 180 Mbps download speed is really just ass

[frank zealot]

over 20MB/s

Which honestly why do you need more?

[fickle narwhal]

I’d don’t really I’m just bitching cause I got tricked again

[edgy laurel]

tricked?

[frank zealot]

Your lack of reading comprehension does not mean you got tricked

[fickle narwhal]

I get confused by the bit/ bytes thing constantly I never remember what means what when looking at the abbreviation

[fickle narwhal]

Okay nerd

[frank zealot]

ISPs have always advertised in Megabits, because bigger numbers better.

Even if almost nothing you look at in windows uses megabits

[fickle narwhal]

See it’s trying to trick me

[edgy laurel]

Thats not a trick

[frank zealot]

pretty soon it's gonna be a scam, too

[edgy laurel]

Network transfer talk is usually done in bits/s

traditionally

[fickle narwhal]

If using a different term that looks similar when abbreviated isn’t tricking then 1+1 doesn’t = 2

[edgy laurel]

No, because the speed is quite literally written out. If the user doesn't know how to read whats in front of them they'r enot being tricked, they're just unfamiliar or stupid

[fickle narwhal]

Well im stupid so I guess that solves that

[frank zealot]

It's written out plainly, and has been industry standard for decades

[edgy laurel]

yeah

note: i said unfamiliar or stupid

I didn't call you stupid

[fickle narwhal]

Yeah but I called my self stupid

[edgy laurel]

well thats on you lol

[frank zealot]

15GB/s = 120 Gb/s = 120,000 Mbit/second

Yeah, no, you're not doing that over your network.

[slim pebble]

Until the DRAM cache fills up. 🤣

[edgy laurel]

theoretically

[frank zealot]

jesus christ servers are ridiculous.

I just saw a quote for 34K for a 2x8c Xeon box with 64GB RAM

[edgy laurel]

I have no concept for if that is a lot or not

[frank zealot]

we need a minimum of 256, preferably 512GB RAM
And for a virtual host with 8+ virtual windows boxes? 16c ain't cutting it

[topaz veldt]

yeah it actually works the memory harder

[turbid locust]

He did. God damn it. OCF OP I guess.

Some useful voltage info though. @merry stirrup @pure garnet

[topaz veldt]

In the case of the SN8100 it never happens. It can sustain 14-15,000 MB/s without throttling or running out of cache for 600 seconds which is 8,400 GB of total data written. So you can write the entire 8TB NVMe and then some without the cache filling up.

[hoary hatch]

I'm gonna lose it

Why is our SharePoint on dial up speeds rn

[slim pebble]

Nice! I had no idea, my T700 would collapse after filling the DRAM and SLC cache.

Virginia is set to receive state income tax increase from 5.75% to 13.8% lol

their new governor campaigned on making things more affordable... but first, let me almost triple your income tax

[slim pebble]

What happened? Other than them passing legislation to reduce sentences on crimes like robbery and r***?

[topaz veldt]

They are banning gas leaf blowers

and increasing income tax to 13.8% lol

many such cases

so now all the teachers that voted for this whacko are losing it because they no longer get off lol

It fucking writes itself

Oh shit @low sorrel

[slim pebble]

Most of the people who voted for that will never see those tax rates. 13.8 is the top marginal rate for the highest earners

[topaz veldt]

5.75% is everything above $17000

apparently now that will be 13.8%... that's... almost everyone

[fringe vigil]

[cosmic gazelle]

it's not sold out at my location but i've heard it's sold out basically everywhere else

[mild sandal]

7500x3d? When in the world did that come out

They're adding x3d to anything now lmao

[slim pebble]

MC exclusive CPU I think.

It’s six core and a low clock speed, but for $300 combo? It’ll game.

[frank zealot]

that isn't listed online, so IDK

Throw in a cheap case and PSU, throw in a 9060 and you have a decent low end gaming PC

My MC in Tustin CA is sold out of it, but apparently some aren’t.

it was real https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/s/aqz54YbHFO

you’re replacing too many parts in that system to justify buying it tbh

I am mostly getting it for the ram, cpu, and board, which.. I can't even find otherwise lmao, and would've otherwise cost 150ish as just a combo

the pcie thing isnt really that much of an issue is it?

[pure garnet]

the one stick of ram isn’t worth it

[turbid locust]

nah i watched a video and that shit looked goofy ngl

it was awful

[fervent chasm]

like a 4090 only has a few percentage performance decrease with pcie gen 3 x16 than gen 4, unless youre getting high end cards later on

Also I think the red LED is just MSI shite?
Lemme check

today it really can, since most low-end gpu's are only x8 lanes now

i wouldn’t have 3.0 only going into 2026

it’s one of those if you have a board it’s fine but don’t buy one now

what is concord?

[leaden dawn]

Dead on arrival

[civic reef]

Okay yeah, I believe I should just keep my cash and get higher end AM4 later on

Since Kyoko pointed out something that I - in very idiotic fashion - completely forgot about, aka the board having PCIe 3.0 & 2.0, and the lacking storage options

I believe I should just wait until I can get the X570 & 5600x (both new) for around $200 combined

RAM will most definitely be used, though

I want one of those too

But I want the steam controller more lol

Dualsense my 🐐

[leaden dawn]

8bitdo doesn't even support linux

dualsense edge with tmr modules is my endgame controller

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/predator-arnold-schwarzenegger-hand-shake-arms-gif-3468629

[leaden dawn]

I have this, not the edge but I've ran that for 4 years

TMR is the best, also love adaptive triggers

[wraith steeple]

I'll never forget when I tried Dual sense (PS5 Controller) in Dolphin emulator on Wii Sports. I Mercy Ruled the CPU on Baseball after getting used to it

[steel stream]

(wired mode) is suprisingly really good for the wii sports games

[edgy laurel]

the Ultimate 2 has TMR sticks. charging dock, dedicated 2.4Ghz radio, trigger mode switches. honestly a great deal

[steel stream]

wireless isn't as good, but still a good time

[steel stream]

dualsense haptics and triggers just make it my favorite

[leaden dawn]

I have an Xbox 8bitdo pro 2 controller

Its good but its windows only software. And I can't bind the back buttons to anything that's not already on controller

[wraith steeple]

I was just floored to see it work wirelessly on Dolphin this well. Bowling and Golf were also playable. But don't think for a second about playing Tennis or Boxing this way

[edgy laurel]

the haptic feedback in ps stuff is the only thing I wish was more available

[leaden dawn]

Steam controller will have LRAs

[steel stream]

bowling is honestly really good with it

you justa kinda palm it

[steel stream]

what does LRA stand for?

l resiatance a

[leaden dawn]

Linear Resonant actuators

[steel stream]

ah, i was very wrong

[leaden dawn]

Motors that jump around instead of spin, like in modern phones (or iPhone 6/newer)

[steel stream]

I know like 2-3 years ago, xbox released a poll asking what features they should bring to their controllers (haptics and triggers were the most requested) and haven't done anything lol

[steel stream]

oh yeah just the dualsense stuff

[leaden dawn]

They have motors in their triggers

Which also don't work on Linux for some reason when Adaptive Triggers do

[pure garnet]

the 8bitdo controllers are nice but i just like the ps layout more

[leaden dawn]

Tbf I prefer xbox layout as well. At least marginally

Dualsense is just so good with TMR. And actually comfortable compared to predecessors

true

i mean nowadays learning a skill is easier but finding a client to sell it it to is a nightmare

there are always people who out bid you

[frank zealot]

taskrabbit

[woven adder]

on it thank you

[civic reef]

@frank zealot Turns out the red led is a led strip

[frank zealot]

Holy shit

He could not have described it worse lol

[civic reef]

I second that

Genuinely thought he was describing a POST LED as an aesthetic light 💔

[frank zealot]

Same

[civic reef]

Eitherway, not buying lmao

Keeping my cash to continue saving for le T14 G1

I thought he had an R5 2600 with it, but it's a 1400 💔

Would a 1400 even have that much better single core performance than a 4770

[frank zealot]

Not really

[hoary hatch]

No

Zen 1 didn't clock that well
Haswell clocked pretty good

But if it's a locked haswell, ehhhhh

[frank zealot]

The only real benefit of Zen1:
More cores and ddr4

If you jump to Z3? That's an improvement

[hoary hatch]

The Ryzen is unlocked but tbh idk how much you can push out of a r5 1400 over stock
If you already have the haswell, probably stick with that

[woven adder]

is there a noticeable differnce from switching to dd4 memory from dd3

[leaden dawn]

Yo you need to stop doubleposting

[civic reef]

Yeah I am just sticking with the Haswell 4770

Buying a Zen 2+ based laptop because that's higher on my priorities

Once I have the cash again, I am getting an X570 & 5600x

[brisk jolt]

my 265k is deadass just… dead or something

[turbid locust]

skill issue (my 9850X3D will be DOA)

[brisk jolt]

chief this is not a good intel first impression nor is it a good asus one

[pure garnet]

did you buy both of these new

[frank zealot]

considering you can't make the swap on the same CPU, it's kinda a moot question

[steel stream]

what's it doing

or not doing might be the better question

[frank zealot]

Will there be a noticable swap if I change out my CPU, RAM, and Motherboard?

I mean, probably? But it also depends on the CPU and RAM

[brisk jolt]

yes

[woven adder]

no no my question is different let me elaborate

[brisk jolt]

not booting
nor is it giving any USB devices power

[steel stream]

damn

[frank zealot]

PSU, CPU, or Board

That's a shitty set of parts to troubleshoot

[brisk jolt]

its def not the PSU

I cant test the board or CPU with other spare parts because lga 1851 one off platform

[woven adder]

so you remember we used to have hard drives they were slow switching to ssd was a differnece of night and day i was wondering is the same true for switching to ddr4?

ik it depends on cpu MB etc but still how big is the diiference actually

[steel stream]

almost impossible to say, but going off of the difference in R4 to R5 not the biggest deal

[frank zealot]

that's a very very very different swap

There is zero way to compare those

[woven adder]

ik

ik ddr4 is much better BUT

how much difference is visible to the eye?

[frank zealot]

DDR4 is better, but not like "holy shit show did I live without this" better

although if you're upgrading in 2026? Going to a DDR4 system is... probably a terrible idea

[woven adder]

bro have you seen ram prices and btw im still on ddr3

[frank zealot]

DDR4 has also gone up stupidly

your argument is pretty irrelevant

[woven adder]

maybe you didnt understand what i asked

let me rephrase for you

[frank zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-explain-sum-up-too-much-i-just-cant-princess-bride-gif-8939664

[vestal venture]

does sombody use librewolf?im having issues playing videos on streaming sites

[brisk jolt]

I feel like its VERY probable that the 265K is the one thats DOA

[vestal venture]

like i tried to google it but it didnt work

[brisk jolt]

i do indeed see debug lights when something isnt plugged right

[vestal venture]

yt is working fine tho

[steel stream]

could be some DRM protection issue

if this is something like netflix

[vestal venture]

i turned it on and no since it isnt a legal" one

[steel stream]

your site might just be having issues

[woven adder]

so lets say you have to processors very close in generation to each other one uses dd43 and the other uses ddr4 keeping everything else the same ideally how much difference would you notice browsing gaming and just using the pc like how much snappyness does the ddr4 add to the experiance?

[vestal venture]

ik but it works on firefox fine

[steel stream]

really not much

[vestal venture]

with adblocker

[frank zealot]

assuming you're on a decent SSD and the system isn't overloaded to shit, probably not a ton

[woven adder]

now you understand

[steel stream]

it's not exactly the same, but if you can read data you can interpolate

[steel stream]

we've understood from the beginning, the question is just hella illogical and not a good question

[pure garnet]

i mean alder gains like ~20% from ddr5 now

im gonna get my 265k out again i think, this bz video gives me hope

[woven adder]

hey at least my brain cells are working on something

[brisk jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/anger-inside-out-gif-12268326413793699462

fukass cpu

[steel stream]

eh

[woven adder]

what

[edgy laurel]

Its not useful to try and isolate the memory alone, hence why you're getting this response. The memory is just the default for whatever platform you're on.

Its just one piece of the puzzle, so to speak

[vivid kiln]

I had no idea the buyer protections on eBay were so insane. I sold a laptop there from 2023, and eBay forced a refund when the customer complained that it was past the one year warranty.

That’s insane.

[shell void]

this is gorgeous @topaz veldt

[wraith steeple]

[shell void]

similar to their Extreme board, but squished down to ATX

[topaz veldt]

To me it looks the same as the Hero no?

Has anyone seen Bzoids 9000 video yet? trying to transcribe some OCF shit into Apex bios entries

[wraith steeple]

Basically a more blacked out X870E Hero, yes

[topaz veldt]

I thought the Hero was already all the way black lol

[shell void]

10Gb NIC, dual CPU lane M.2, beefier primary M.2 heatsink, and the bolton ram fan are the main improvements

plus it’s more visually appealing

[wraith steeple]

Oh?

[pure garnet]

im watching it right now

the main thing was just sa 1.4v vddq 1.4v vdd2 1.4v

he had vdd at 1.55 for mem

[shell void]

holy glowup

the old hero looks cheap in comparison

[wraith steeple]

Extreme Obsolete

[shell void]

indubitably

this is basically an ATX extreme that looks nicer

[hoary hatch]

We are in dark times 😔

[topaz veldt]

the annoyance is that there is shit in ASUS vs. ASRock BIOS that doesn't line up in term or definition

some tertiaries

[topaz veldt]

bro hasn't even held either in hand. The Hero is not cheap in appearance or feel. The dark looks lower tier honestly.

[steel stream]

nah mate michael knows best

[shell void]

to me personally the X870E Hero is one of the ugliest Hero boards

i think the X670E Hero, and the X870E Dark Hero both look nicer

[topaz veldt]

bro owns a tomahawk

[steel stream]

he owns a hawk too huh?

[wraith steeple]

I owned a X570 DH at one point

[topaz veldt]

Apex is uglier than all, but the Hero > Dark Hero

[shell void]

in my opinion even the AM4 Hero looks nicer than the X870E Hero

[topaz veldt]

nah

in person the "chrome" looking spot on the Hero is not chrome at all

and the RGB IO shield is the best they've ever made

[wraith steeple]

I did not like how the X570 Formula used the m.2 mounting

[shell void]

i just quickly looked at Z590-Z890, and yeah the X870E OG is the least good looking IMO

[wraith steeple]

[shell void]

it’s not hideous or anything, it certainly looks better than the OCF

[wraith steeple]

why?

Why mount it this way?

[shell void]

but i don’t like any of this

the smooth black plastic looks cheap and the art on the bottom doesn’t look good to me

the I/O cover is nice, but that’s the only good part

[edgy laurel]

11 IoT evangalists need to show this poor guy how its done

[shell void]

why is bro using 1809

[edgy laurel]

guy is so lost

he certainly heard somewhere that its the best for gaming cause no bloat (probably)

[frank cypress]

ngl i don't like how either looks

[shell void]

you have to be on the 2020+ kernel to enable hardware accelerated gpu scheduling which is required for framegen

and programs are starting to demand you’re on 21H2 or newer

LTSC 21H2 is still a great experience but 1809 doesn’t make sense for a daily driver

[shell void]

what’s ur fav am5 board?

[wraith steeple]

From a feature standpoint on paper, the B850 AI Top looks nutty

[topaz veldt]

that's jsut it - its not plastic

[slim pebble]

You can barely see it with a GPU in there anyways

[slim pebble]

Right, that’s all metal

[topaz veldt]

yeah these people have no idea

you hold the Hero and its like holy shit

I wish the Hero was as good RAM OC as my Apex, I'd have kept it

[slim pebble]

You using your x870e hero again 5nail5?

[topaz veldt]

nah I sold it

Made no sense to have two black AM5 boards and an X670E Hero

[slim pebble]

I put my x670e hero into my kid’s computer

[topaz veldt]

yeah mine is in my family room pc

[slim pebble]

Along with the TUF 5090

[topaz veldt]

9800x3d / X670e Hero / 5090 Master

[slim pebble]

7950X3D/64GB CL26 ram/5090/2TB 990 PRO

[topaz veldt]

word mine has 48GB 6000 CL26

and like 8TB of NVMe lol

[slim pebble]

Made out of spare parts, wtf is wrong with us?

[topaz veldt]

Its just meant to be

[shell void]

i wonder if there’ll be a Z890 Apex Encore with the launch of the U9 290K+

[pure garnet]

who is the market for that though

[topaz veldt]

I hope not

Or if they do an encore let it be white ffs

[pure garnet]

the ocf seems to have won the people over already

[turbid locust]

ocf is ass for everything but mem apparently

BZ was ranting in hwbot about it earlier

[shell void]

i’m not buying it, but surely they’ll have some new boards for the refresh

yeah it’s a poorly timed launch but it’s nothing unusual for intel

Z590 and 11900K part two

[steel stream]

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-replaces-core-ultra-9-285k-premium-box-with-simpler-carton-design fall from grace

the core ultra "premium" packaging was so lackluster

[topaz veldt]

how so

[low sorrel]

mine mine mine mine mine mine mine

perfect for pvp

[pure garnet]

he doesn't like the bios

which is fair

[topaz veldt]

i never liked any asrock bios

[frank cypress]

terms of looks? proart x870e

[frank cypress]

will never live up to the aura of the silicon wafer packaging

or the dodecahedron

[steel stream]

idk how, but it's Lip Bu Tans fault somehow they got rid of it. it was awesome

[steel stream]

I prefer the wafer to dodecahedron tbh

[low sorrel]

why isn't it just a perma ban @topaz veldt

[leaden dawn]

Maybe it should be 6 months instead of 60 days ngl

[low sorrel]

nah fuck em perma ban cheaters

[edgy laurel]

they deserve it, but that seems fair for a paid game (to account for mistakes in detection)

free game? fuck em

[slim pebble]

Permanent ban would at least make the offender cough up real money for another game.

[low sorrel]

thats why you have an appeal system

[slim pebble]

There’s no disincentive for cheating with that three strike system. Like OK, I can cheat all I want, worst that happens is a 30 day time out if I get caught. Lol watch this!

[topaz veldt]

maybe false positives?

Warzone had a brutally strong ban, and I was wrongfully shadow banned so many times I almost threw the game out

[edgy laurel]

which is extra work for them. they have to find a balance

[slim pebble]

Your PC was probably running the game suspiciously fast 😂

[topaz veldt]

lol nah it was people needlessly reporting when they get pwned

You play a few rounds and get like 7-10 kills per round, 3 reports, you're going to find yourself in shadow ban lobbies

[low sorrel]

skill issue it's a paid game

[steel stream]

are those lobbies with other shadowbanned people or bots?

[steel stream]

i have been cheating everytime we play together

[low sorrel]

i've seen your gameplay thats cap

[steel stream]

wdym by that

[low sorrel]

you know what i mean by that

[edgy laurel]

that cut deep

[steel stream]

:(

I think the only games I have used cheats in are Roblox and Minecraft

the cognitive decline is real

[edgy laurel]

gameshark

[turbid locust]

@pure garnet Apex for OCF when

[steel stream]

i don't count "cheats" in singleplayer games really

[edgy laurel]

yeah I don'[t either. so many mods might as well be cheats

[steel stream]

i used soooo many cheats when I was younger playing pokemon on my laptop lol

[turbid locust]

jk ima wait for refresh and try another cpu. I’m not unconvinced it’s my cpu not happy

[steel stream]

wait are you gonna buy another ARL cpu

[turbid locust]

probably

[edgy laurel]

i'm getting flashbacks to this website I used to use back in ancient times that was like an archive for cheat codes and walkthroughs @topaz veldt do you know what i'm talking about. it was pretty universally known

[turbid locust]

I’m not really a 1 cpu per platform guy

I need more intel chips in general

[steel stream]

Mac you are like 2 purchases away from needing an excel to track everything

[low sorrel]

i cheated in my friends minecraft world when i was like 9

[turbid locust]

I already need one. I cannot remember what I have AM4 wise

[edgy laurel]

oh god what is just cheatcodes.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CheatCodes.com

[steel stream]

I used a website that was purple

[steel stream]

straight to hell

[edgy laurel]

that sounds familiar

[low sorrel]

i xrayed for diamonds

[steel stream]

how could you

[pure garnet]

when you feel like it

[steel stream]

yeah I can't remember the name but I remember the site

[edgy laurel]

gamefaqs, or cheatcc (cheatcodecentral)

[steel stream]

gamefaqs I think

[edgy laurel]

gamefaqs is purple now

[turbid locust]

#tech-chat-2 message

yeah that still will apply

aww yiss, can always count on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1kekozd/what_was_your_goto_cheat_code_website_way_back_in/

[steel stream]

bring back cheat codes

[edgy laurel]

now we just have console commands

and mods

[leaden dawn]

Some games have collectibles/checkboxes in menus

[steel stream]

we've fallen so far

[edgy laurel]

gamefaqs though had walkthroughs that I swear I remember printing out

or having my dad print them out

aww shit, is this going to be deepcool 2.0

https://hntrbrk.com/ubiquiti/

[steel stream]

I have scrolled too far https://www.reddit.com/r/delta/comments/1ql2nag/sky_lounge_seatac/

[edgy laurel]

Ubiquiti openly admits “we do not have any visibility” over purchases from its distributors, but legal experts told Hunterbrook that’s not a viable defense. U.S. export controls and sanctions operate on a strict liability basis — meaning, even unwitting violations are still violations. “Ignorance is not really a practical excuse, or rather, a legal excuse,” a former senior State Department sanctions official told Hunterbrook. A sanctions compliance lawyer added, “You, doing very little effort, were able to determine that it’s available for purchase by the Russian armed forces. … The company’s compliance team should be taking additional steps to prevent that.”

[steel stream]

ruh roh raggy

yeah that's not good

[edgy laurel]

yeah no, it isn't. will have to see how this develops. I'm not familiar with this particular outlet

[steel stream]

any legal experts in TC2?

[fervent chasm]

boom

[edgy laurel]

this guy seems thrilled

i agree with the first comment, something endering with it

[fervent chasm]

Ive got basically everything implemented can change between monitors and all that

[steel stream]

More chicken.

[edgy laurel]

looks slick

and just in browser (which I know was the point) so its neat

[fervent chasm]

yah almost done

I just have to polish it, maybe some other stuff

I added auth and everything now

you set a username and password on first startup on the host, and on the client you input, theres session management and all that so you dont have to re-login every time you load it

[brave panther]

hey you stole my domain

[fervent chasm]

"You just leaked your IP bro"

[edgy laurel]

is it just like a streaming video in that Esc will work to come out of fullscreen?

[brave panther]

[fervent chasm]

only if you hold it

so just clicking esc wont kick you out of fullscreen

[edgy laurel]

ok neat. thats only coming up because every single time I go to play with Moonlight I forget the key combo to come out of fullscreen

and i'm googling it on another PC

[fervent chasm]

CTRL SHIFT ALT Q

i think

[edgy laurel]

THANKS, i'll totally remember that lol

[fervent chasm]

at least i never changed it when using moonlight

[fervent chasm]

you dont have to remember the keys you get used to the crab pose you do with your fingers and remember it

Anyway, I told you guys id get it done

its been 2 months, but its almost ready

mother of fucking god

HOW HARD IS IT TO INSTALL THE MICROSOFT AUTHENTICATOR

They fucking give you a picture of the fucking app icon FFS PEOPLE USE YOUR EYES

[brave panther]

ah yes the 🖕 shortcut

[fervent chasm]

Someone else already added it directly into Sunshine right after I started once they saw what i was doing

so theres that

[edgy laurel]

so it can playback a sunshine stream?

[hoary hatch]

A lot of people in our org report that authenticator is completely broken for them

[brave panther]

inb4 they install that scam authentificator that is seo to hell and back instead of MS one

[edgy laurel]

also how does it run on a client

[hoary hatch]

I think I am one of them

[fervent chasm]

no, they built the client into sunshines web interface (someone made a fork called vibeshine where 99% of the development is ai) so theres no need for moonlight anymore

[hoary hatch]

Although installing it is trivial because it's installed by IT on our phones

[fervent chasm]

how does what run on a client

[edgy laurel]

client si... wait a minute. it doesn't. its a web stream, you just navigate to it

ohhhh

[fervent chasm]

yah the whole point was no need to install a new app on the client

[brave panther]

security zero lol

[edgy laurel]

right right ok

[fervent chasm]

since everyone has a browser

[frank zealot]

nope, they did that first

[frank zealot]

nope, that's not the problem
The problem is users can't fucking read

[fervent chasm]

you only need to port forward on the host, the web server port and some UDP ports for WebRTC

If you cant portfoward, you can use tailscsale which only adds like 1ms latency

[pallid marsh]

https://www.droid-life.com/2026/01/20/verizon-device-unlock-policy-365-days/ reminder to leave Verizon

[brave panther]

what about if it goes through relay server?

[pallid marsh]

1 year locked device

[leaden dawn]

Only authenticators that are worth using are ones you can export to qr or a json file if necessary imo

And aren't cloud based

[fervent chasm]

i dont think theres any free relay servers but that would be tcp no? adding a ton of latency

[steel stream]

what if I am already on verizon

[narrow gate]

[fervent chasm]

Im talking about TURN servers btw

[brave panther]

relay server is used in case P2P fails, its free for everyone but its slow

[fervent chasm]

you mean with tailscale?

[brave panther]

yes

[fervent chasm]

ah I didnt know that, idk i havent tested tailscale at all

but whats nice is tailscale also has a browser extension meaning you really dont need anything installed onto the client at all!

[steel stream]

https://videocardz.com/newz/gta-6-boxed-version-may-be-delayed-to-reduce-leak-risk

[frank zealot]

the steps for the authenticator are fucking laid out VERY VERY SIMPLY

Why can people NOT FUCKING READ

[fervent chasm]

you expect too much from people

[frank zealot]

Enter your E-Mail
Scan the QR Code

Isn't a fucking high bar

[fervent chasm]

not to you but the competency in tech of the average person is pretty low

[steel stream]

you'd be surprised

[frank zealot]

these are people who work on computers for the majority of their job

[pallid marsh]

If you bought a locked device ask them to unlock it then wait 365 days while still paying for their service to get it unlocked 😊

[brave panther]

people dont read shit

[fervent chasm]

ask me how I know, I tought our networking class for my teacher
the bar is stupid high even for people going into networking

[frank zealot]

no I wouldn't.

I've been asked "Where's the Enter key?"

There are TWO Enter Keys

[steel stream]

i hate to say it, but r/woosh

no I got it, but it's not quite the same lol

why it no workie

[hoary hatch]

I hope their keyboard uses the label Return for this question to ever make sense...

[hoary hatch]

This is the power Verizon gets to exert when there is no competition

[brave panther]

give them one of these

[hoary hatch]

And in my area Verizon is the best coverage

[hoary hatch]

Diabolical

i dont get it how you can work your entire life on computer and still type with pointer fingers

what was wrong with it?

[steel stream]

tf are they doing at the Philly Microcenter?

[low sorrel]

idk probably a 1060 or some shit

[steel stream]

oh dogshit

[hoary hatch]

I missed out on the outage completely, I'm very upset

[brave panther]

nah, older, it has two dvi

Real OG Cherry Blues, so you could be heard from the moon. Everything but the primary keys still weren't something I just could touch reliably from feel

[hoary hatch]

Actually I've not been affected by any of the Verizon issues in the last few years

And both my housemate's are Verizon and they get hit half the time

[edgy laurel]

yeah, i could type fine but as soon as I had to hit an F key or page down, there were mistakes

[hoary hatch]

I'm tired of being exceptional

[brave panther]

interesting, i use cherry reds and i like them very much

[edgy laurel]

reds are quiet

[brave panther]

quiet and linear

[edgy laurel]

blues in a 2011 spec mechanical board before they knew how to dampen things were LOUD

is this hwinfo?

[edgy laurel]

yes

[plush smelt]

ok i will ask ai how to find those

[edgy laurel]

what

[steel stream]

the pin currents? You need a compatibile card

[devout ridge]

i'm assuming they want to know per pin current readings, even though that's only available on select cards

[plush smelt]

oh yeah i figured

[edgy laurel]

you open HWiNFO's sensors tab and scroll down to your GPU. Unless you have an Astral 5080/5090, you're not going to see each pin reported there.

[plush smelt]

ohhhh alright then scrap that lol

I wanna buy a keyboard, any recommendation?

[steel stream]

something TMR

[pallid marsh]

Dumb Canadian smh

[plush smelt]

ok what about a headset(headphones) and a mic combo.

[topaz veldt]

jesus

what about refrigerator

[pallid marsh]

Buy them separate

[steel stream]

idk anything about headsets tbh

[plush smelt]

yeah that's the plan

[topaz veldt]

best toilet seat?

[pallid marsh]

Toto

[plush smelt]

yeah that too, since you mentioned it you know something about that?

[steel stream]

Sennheiser HD6XX + Shure SM7B

[edgy laurel]

reposting cause more people. nothing damning but curious if this moves any further. @topaz veldt (never heard of this site) https://hntrbrk.com/ubiquiti/

[plush smelt]

wth is that

[topaz veldt]

This could be a DeepCool type situ

[plush smelt]

I ain't made of money bruh 😭😭😭

Sennheiser HD6XX + Fifine t669

[topaz veldt]

same as DeepCool

[edgy laurel]

yeah, it seems there is some gray area there when it comes to responsibility post sale. seeing "ignorance isn't a viable defence" thrown around. Interested to see more info from actual legal pros, or if this goes anywhere at all

[plush smelt]

ok what about a 100$ for headset and 50$ for mic am willing to go to 170-175 but no more

[steel stream]

idk anything that low sorry

[topaz veldt]

Or if its even true. Or or, if its true and... intentional. Stuxnet?

[plush smelt]

damn, alright, thanks for trying

[pallid marsh]

Dont you dare come in a suv to pick up a normal up right refrigerator

[topaz veldt]

Do I look like the type to pick up my own appliances?

[steel stream]

i gotta go pick up a fridge in a smart car

[steel stream]

I thought you lifted them with one hand like superman

[topaz veldt]

I swipe a credit card and then go sit down

[steel stream]

lucky

[pallid marsh]

Hey plenty of rich folk come to my warehouse to pick up their own appliances and furniture so you never know

[topaz veldt]

Hard to fit a fridge in a Rolls Royce

[pallid marsh]

One guy came towing his boat

[topaz veldt]

Thats because he has a small boat

[pallid marsh]

Utah has small lakes

[steel stream]

idk if this is a poor person take but i don't care for rolls royce's very much

[steel stream]

you must have met the richest man in Utah

[pallid marsh]

I haven't met the leader of the Mormon church

[topaz veldt]

they are like daily drivers for uber rich

[steel stream]

yah i know the rich love them, but they just don't seem like exciting cars to me

[hoary hatch]

1. Definitely a poor person take
2. They're meant for being driven in, not for driving. If you fancy the idea of driving yourself, rolls isn't for you

[steel stream]

fair enough

makes sense

[hoary hatch]

I feel like Bentley is for driving

But I am also a poor

[edgy laurel]

Bentley is for driving, Rolls is for being driven

[pallid marsh]

Nah Toyota is for driving

A to b

[hoary hatch]

Thanks for saying it in so few words

[pallid marsh]

Both are for making mechanics rich

[steel stream]

Big Mechanic doesn't want you to know this

[hoary hatch]

Do I need to take my car to a mechanic for a 100k mile service
*I have no idea about cars. I am like a monkey figuring out how to hold a wrench

[steel stream]

the mechanics are more scared of you, than you are of them. Never forget that

[edgy laurel]

is there specifically a 100k mile service period in your owners manual? or ones before that that you skipped?

[hoary hatch]

Yeah I've never looked at it before last week

[pallid marsh]

Maybe for sparkplugs or transmission fluid

[edgy laurel]

there will be listed service periods with items that are checked/replaced

[edgy laurel]

there ya go

[hoary hatch]

I did spark plugs last year. It's the transmission I have no confidence in doing myself

[edgy laurel]

I'd yell at you for the pictures but then that guy will pop up and give me shit for not just turning my head

[pallid marsh]

Are you giving us the finger in the second pic?

[hoary hatch]

"lubricate all locks and hinges"
Yeah I don't think I'm going to do that

[pallid marsh]

After 31 years of minimal use my rear door hinges/locks got pretty stuck

[hoary hatch]

My car is 13 years

[steel stream]

my car hit's 13 this year I think

[hoary hatch]

I think I just need the drive belt and transmission fluid checked

[pallid marsh]

This year my car turns 32

[hoary hatch]

Oh and the blinker fluid
I'm still using the factory blinker fluid

[edgy laurel]

don't have lifetime blinker fluid?

[hoary hatch]

I'll have to check that warranty detail

[steel stream]

My buddies are on a Baja student club here and they always tell new rookies to get the blinker fluid lol

[pallid marsh]

The belt is easy to change yourself, unless your kia is like my mom's 2021 kia that has no fucking room next to it

[edgy laurel]

a classic

[hoary hatch]

I have no idea what makes a belt drive-worthy or replacement-worthy

[steel stream]

hop in pilot-vc and have 5nail help you out when doing it

[edgy laurel]

plenty of youtube videos for knowing what to look for in a belt

wear, cracks, etc..

[pallid marsh]

So much spare room in the engine bay and this is what room kia gives you

[steel stream]

look at that copper though!

[pallid marsh]

It's a $30 part and takes under 30 mins, could always just change it to be safe

[leaden dawn]

I'd assume cracking, loosening, stiffening and slipping could be ways

[pallid marsh]

Had to do mine twice after a month with a new belt my power steering pulley decided to die on the free way eating up my new belt

[topaz veldt]

gm 3100?

[pallid marsh]

Yesh

[topaz veldt]

god bless

[pallid marsh]

Not a sexy 3800 sadly

32 years old 140k miles and still going tho

Even survived me driving with no power steering pulley for 10 highway

[fleet marsh]

im getting a 9800x3d should be in this weekend. looking for a better air cooler for it. i was looking at the be quite! dark rock pro 5 because i like my pc quite. any recommendations ?

[topaz veldt]

way over kill but a good cooler

[topaz veldt]

If you want THE BEST air cooler, Noctua NH-D15 G2

Otherwise any Thermalright 140mm cooler will do the same

[steel stream]

the LeBron of Air coolers if you will

[fleet marsh]

performance is nice. but i prefer quite coolers overall

[steel stream]

NH-D15G2 is quite quiet

(any air cooler will be with a tune)

[pallid marsh]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hYxRsY/thermalright-peerless-assassin-120-se-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-pa120-se-d3 if you want the best value and don't care about 2-4c difference

[fleet marsh]

holy smokes ! thats a $180 cooler !!!!

[steel stream]

it is indeed

I need a second

[hoary hatch]

I really should have gotten my automotive maintenance merit badge smh

Also transmission is something I have no idea what to do about

[fleet marsh]

this one is pretty much the same ? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CL9W968Y/?coliid=I3ERVE70A7L8VA&colid=1UUDB1AVJVUOG&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1

[hoary hatch]

I've noticed it has done some very bad feeling shifts on occasion in the last few months

[steel stream]

yeah that'll be fine

[steel stream]

joever.

(idk anything about transmissions either)

[pallid marsh]

In automotive class in highschool we got taught tires and belt changes

[steel stream]

you had an automotive class?

[pallid marsh]

And wood shop

[steel stream]

we had a "stem" class, which involved some basic woodworking, hand tools, saws + hydraulics which was cool. No car related courses at all though

[pallid marsh]

Belts are dead easy just note/photo down how it's attached bring out your rachet pull back on the tensioner and slip it off, then slip the new one on

[pallid marsh]

We had a full wood shop and auto class with lifts tire rotation machines aliment machines etc etc

[plush smelt]

is this from msi afterburner?

[steel stream]

damn that's pretty cool

[pallid marsh]

Then we used the saw dust from the wood class for auto class that was next door for oil spills

[steel stream]

ingenious

[pure garnet]

i’m getting the ocf setup on a bench now @turbid locust

[arctic bronze]

@untold surge Heres the update on the actual project now

its still in a WIP

The stuff you type is also that font :D

[untold surge]

looks much better, trying to think how u could change the white boxe to fit the rest of the color better

[arctic bronze]

the main thing im thinking of is seeing if I can fill in some of that dead space

[arctic bronze]

i actually think the textbox color looks fine, its just a light brown, I could darken it some to see how that looks

but I dont want it too dark as it will then blend into the text

[untold surge]

yeah, the bright white doesn't match

[arctic bronze]

to me it actually fits well, ill try darker

[vestal granite]

textboxes wide for size of the parchment

[arctic bronze]

true, it do be a big boi, but I have so much dead space lmao

[vestal granite]

parchments always have dead space

they tore easily so the text was put away from the edges

[untold surge]

do u think it would be easy to round the edges of the boxes?

the boxes and color just seem like it is on top of the paper, not with the paper

[arctic bronze]

I ment for the screen, but yeah I agree

[vestal granite]

oh thats not dead space thats just future ad space

[topaz veldt]

next convo is about toasting oats

[hoary hatch]

Closest thing to automotive we had was technical theater

We did have live news and film production classes

[arctic bronze]

well its not suppose to look like its on the paper, its just a theme really, but if you could show me some examples id love to look at it and see what I can do

[steel stream]

idk how close that is tbh

[vestal granite]

less dead space than microsoft login

[hoary hatch]

Well it's not, but it's the only thing we had lol

[steel stream]

we also had a film development class

[fringe vigil]

Hi

[pallid marsh]

In Arizona?

[graceful marten]

Unsaveable? 🥲

[pallid marsh]

Yes

[hoary hatch]

Yes

[steel stream]

shits fucked

[arctic bronze]

its all ogre now

[fringe vigil]

how

[arctic bronze]

rage

[graceful marten]

idk

[hoary hatch]

Nice. There was a photography class but no idea if it was analog or digital or both

[vestal granite]

about as saveable as a shattered glass window

[untold surge]

looks better

[arctic bronze]

thanks for the feedback, I agree :D

[steel stream]

yeah we had photo too, wher you built your own B&W camera

[graceful marten]

Its a 34 inch curved 1440p aswell, oh well

We found it outside so most likely it was going to be broken but why not test 😃 No money spent 🤷‍♂️

[civic reef]

I was going to buy an XPG 2x8GB kit.. Shit was silly, had liquid in the Heatsink for cooling

The kit was only $55 too

Now.. Gone, reduced to atoms

For $50, the best I can get is 2x8gb 2666 black/green PCB, used

[merry stirrup]

yeah i kinda expected this from the sample size i’ve seen it’s 50/50 on if you do 8800 or 9000+

[low sorrel]

@merry stirrup im never alt tabbing again (side note it wouldn't let me leave the inventory for a while)

[pure garnet]

yeah mine still doesn’t want to

i have the ocf on my desk rn

[merry stirrup]

just bad timing lol you alt tabbed as the raid was stating

[pure garnet]

what’s the safe sa limit

[pallid marsh]

You are in too many servers

[pure garnet]

my posts fail so bad the post code drops out now

interesting

[fervent chasm]

ive been maxed out so long, and each time i wanna join anything new i gotta find a random one to leave

[merry stirrup]

wow an actual conversation with bz

[pure garnet]

i’m trying a different bios i can’t even get 8800 booting

[arctic bronze]

[pallid marsh]

[merry stirrup]
