[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup my 9000 adventures aren’t going so hot again

[pallid marsh]

Why is your accuracy so ass and why is your friendly fire damage so high

[steel stream]

you know why

@low sorrel I can be on tomorrow night maybe

[pallid marsh]

Bad eye sight and low fps for the accuracy

[steel stream]

yeah jerry how does the game run

[pure garnet]

i don’t understand how it boots 9000, i downgrade the bios, it no longer boots 9000

[low sorrel]

bad

[pallid marsh]

We need to bully Jerry more so he upgrades his poor 3060

[pallid marsh]

Can you at least upgrade to a b580 until the ai bubble pops?

[steel stream]

i mean maybe they improved it in newer bioses

[pure garnet]

no the newer bios is worse

[steel stream]

yeah that works too ig

[fervent chasm]

oh wow I just successfully repair windows 11 from the installation usb for the first time

ive never have a successful repair with windows

it took me many hours

[uneven bane]

I love windows file explorer "File Explorer not responding"

[topaz veldt]

@noble spade do you have any non-default training settings

[low sorrel]

Snail you should hop on helldivers it's like arc raiders but PvE

Trust

[topaz veldt]

ehhh

[low sorrel]

@steel stream righttt

Totally the same

[steel stream]

maybe a little similar, but it is fun and I fuck with it

[uneven bane]

Helldivers is the shit didnt think I would like it but Im glad i was wrong

[topaz veldt]

I really like Arc right now

[steel stream]

they are cool GPUs

[uneven bane]

One of my friends has been playin a lot of Arc recently

[topaz veldt]

im max er'thing in Arc Raiders

and I am ready for more

[low sorrel]

Yeah we all know

[topaz veldt]

YOU DON'T KNOW

[pure garnet]

no

[topaz veldt]

i am glad nvl is near or i might buy an ocf

[steel stream]

just hold strong brother

[little bobcat]

Can someone recommend a good non-mechanical keyboard?

[topaz veldt]

lol what

[uneven bane]

why non mechanical?

[little bobcat]

I will white switches

I just want a quiet keyboard.

It can be mechanical

[topaz veldt]

how many keys

like... any info is appreciated

[little bobcat]

60-70% and so 100

100 dollar a little bit more is okay

[low sorrel]

tf is a 70% keyboard

[devout ridge]

squished tenkeyless iirc

[low sorrel]

thats 75%

[cosmic gazelle]

if you don’t use a tenkey keyboard i actively think less of you

[devout ridge]

tenkeyless minus a handful of extra keys, and nice and squished

[low sorrel]

thats 75%

[devout ridge]

“minus a handful of extra keys”

[little bobcat]

I meant 75

[uneven bane]

I cant stand smaller keyboards give me a 100% Ive also gotten used to having 6 macro keys as well

[low sorrel]

Theres a shit ton options in that price range im not going to lie

[cosmic gazelle]

finally someone with some sense

[low sorrel]

and they are all nearly the same

[cosmic gazelle]

100% keyboard is the only valid option

[low sorrel]

what about 75% and an addon keypad

[cosmic gazelle]

it’s like that meme but it’s “real keyboards” and “mental illnesses”

[uneven bane]

my response get a bigger desk

[cosmic gazelle]

why what’s the point

[low sorrel]

portable

also left side numpad

[cosmic gazelle]

why do you need to move a desktop

[low sorrel]

what if i want it to be laptop keyboard as well

[cosmic gazelle]

i’m thinking of this meme but in regards to keyboard sizes lol

[low sorrel]

fuck you

robertson is the best screw

and why is phillps slot in there

[cosmic gazelle]

square is technically the actual best i’m pretty sure

[uneven bane]

if i had an itx a smaller keyboard might by more usefull, but with an atx size case, full size is my go to. but Ive also got a bigger desk

[cosmic gazelle]

using a top numpad for windows pin is super dumb

[low sorrel]

Im so tempted to buy a numpad with a knob

not even for the numpad just for the knob

[cosmic gazelle]

you can just get a knob brah

[low sorrel]

looks ugly

[cosmic gazelle]

is using a 70% keyboard
“looks ugly”

[uneven bane]

I have Corsiar's k55 its a membrane but it was what I wanted at the time, and I've gotten way too used to the macro keys and the dedicated pause button

[low sorrel]

75%

[cosmic gazelle]

nicer membrane keyboards aren’t even that bad

like they aren’t GOOD but they’re fine

[low sorrel]

i just press fn+f8 to pause

i really want a knob tho for some reason

[cosmic gazelle]

media key logic lowkey sucks in windows anyways

[uneven bane]

I really want Corsair's K100 but man that price 360ish USD makes me think im happy with my current keyboard

[hoary hatch]

Opposite day?

Phillips and slotted are the worst

[hoary hatch]

K100....air?

Weird to say it but K100 regular is pretty outdated

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/jojo-siwa-dancing-gif-58547116925103501

[hoary hatch]

Posting her is just cheating if you're cringe posting

[pure garnet]

why would anyone pay close to $400 for corsair keyboard

[arctic bronze]

ngl, that dance she is hitting aint it man

[arctic bronze]

brand

[uneven bane]

Really, still better than the k55 I'm using, well probably

[arctic bronze]

also they prob dont know enough to get a good keyboard

[hoary hatch]

As a former Corsair employee, I couldn't tell ya

[hoary hatch]

If you're actually considering a Corsair board, k70 pro max is much better. New vanguard and galleon series are pretty decent

[uneven bane]

I dont I'll admit this one was a christmas present 2 years ago. Im so stupid when it comes to keyboards

[hoary hatch]

But the k100 is still "overpriced gaming RGB keyboard" era

[arctic bronze]

as a former multi trillionare, I can say that some people have pea brains and dont do research while others are just lacking any knowledge to do research

[hoary hatch]

K100 air is slim profile wireless. Much different product than k100

[steel stream]

this shit is $300????

broooo whatttttttttt

[hoary hatch]

I got mine for free

[steel stream]

it looks like it should be at most $30

[uneven bane]

Oh yeah Ive always said its to pricy for me like WAY to pricy

[arctic bronze]

at least its mechanical, not good mechanical but mechanical

[hoary hatch]

Buy used gamer keyboard on eBay after it depreciates 90% and give it a good cleaning. Should be a big upgrade from membrane

[steel stream]

it's still 300

I can get TMR or HE keyboards for like 150

[hoary hatch]

It's of a different era

[uneven bane]

The media keys and macro keys have become so ingraned in muscle memory that I'd like to find another keyboard with it but I might be SOL

[hoary hatch]

Surprised they still sell it

[steel stream]

still, 300 for smth that looks like that is nuts

[hoary hatch]

Also K55 series makes fuckin bank

Or it did in the past

Probably still does now

[arctic bronze]

oh ik, its an awful price for an awful keyboard

[hoary hatch]

Maybe they just have a few hundred left in the warehouse and forgot it existed and never updated the price

[steel stream]

it looks like the keyboards you see when searching up gaming keyboard on amazon

[livid flame]

Corsair, standard pricing

[hoary hatch]

How old were you in 2020

[steel stream]

nice try fed

14 though

[hoary hatch]

Bruh

2010s keyboard design was something else man

[low sorrel]

you can get better mechanicals for 30 bucks on aliexpress

[steel stream]

oh i know, I used a few

i had this logitech one it was interesting

[livid flame]

Razer in like 2010 was wild iirc

[arctic bronze]

if your bank account number was how much money you had, how much money would you have

[livid flame]

Was then or then about they got expensive af and Logitech started adding lcd screens to keyboards I think

no

[little bobcat]

What else?

[arctic bronze]

any "gaming" branded keyboard is gonna be over priced and dog shit

[low sorrel]

rainy 75

[uneven bane]

yeah the best keyboard is a random old dell one that absolutly refuses to die

[arctic bronze]

This is a much better keyboard: https://a.co/d/0bCrJFs6

I’m still waiting for a good holographic keyboard

I was promised this as soon as Jason Bourne came on to the tv screen

[low sorrel]

@steel stream

[arctic bronze]

i saw that

[arctic bronze]

[livid flame]

Great news today. Eni Aluko has announced her retirement from broadcasting.

[arctic bronze]

idk who that is

[low sorrel]

why does it stop 27s in wtffff

[arctic bronze]

true lmao

[little bobcat]

Is mesh worth it

[livid flame]

A British football pundit who stopped getting hired for saying dumb things and is now playing victim. She’s like, how can I put it. The anti-Oprah of TV

[arctic bronze]

for what usecase

[low sorrel]

i mean mesh doesn't exactly cost more

[little bobcat]

I live in a big house and i would do a mesh above and then an ethernet cable to my pc

From the mesh

[arctic bronze]

is there alot of traffic around ur house?

[livid flame]

He lives by the freeway

[arctic bronze]

like alot of wifi radios

[low sorrel]

@steel stream this one fr fr

[little bobcat]

No

[arctic bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-manhattan-gif-18899941

[arctic bronze]

its all black

there we go

[little bobcat]

No

[arctic bronze]

then it should be fine

[little bobcat]

Ok thank bro

[low sorrel]

why is it black for the first 2 seconds

[little bobcat]

Do you know good meshes?

[arctic bronze]

it was born that way

[arctic bronze]

unifi is a great brand

[little bobcat]

Ok thanks

[livid flame]

Creepa do you remember when these went big, for some reason?

[devout ridge]

Where i'm stopping today, quite a bit better than the XMP profile

[livid flame]

Corsair micron 2x48gb*?

[cosmic gazelle]

does zen 4 have noticeably different memory oc capability relative to zen 5

[low sorrel]

@steel stream

[turbid locust]

Only difference is that Zen 5 can do >8000 in gear 2

but that’s only because the ratios above 8000 are broken on Zen 4

[shell void]

no sir they use the same soc chiplet and therefore the same memory controllers

[arctic bronze]

Yeah, the stupid ergonomic designs lol

[merry stirrup]

okay i bought a china hot air station

[turbid locust]

do we trust xmp+rfc after like 45 min karhu

[merry stirrup]

[turbid locust]

yeah it’s rough

I wanna do a proper solder setup eventually but I have no reason to atm

[brisk eagle]

hyprland my beloved

[turbid locust]

sidenote Logitech released a $240 mouse and people are eating that shit up

[merry stirrup]

mod gpu

[brisk eagle]

sidenote to what

[turbid locust]

“We know our in house switches are dogshit so we made a mouse that doesn’t actually click” LMAOOOO

[turbid locust]

ya momma

[edgy laurel]

Superstrike? That thing is super interesting. I want one

[turbid locust]

It is interesting but not $240 interesting

[brisk eagle]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-speed-random-kid-random-kid-gif-10698606526004440975

[merry stirrup]

and its still just a superlight copy pasted

[turbid locust]

wait nvm it’s $180 who tf told me it was $240

[topaz veldt]

Gentlemen....

[turbid locust]

still expensive for what lmao

[merry stirrup]

i am good

[turbid locust]

[merry stirrup]

an evc would change your life

[rare prawn]

How to decide what headphones to get for my PC

[edgy laurel]

completely new tech. if its good, could be awesome.

[topaz veldt]

I am on that 800W shit

[merry stirrup]

yeah what about that 1.25v shit

[turbid locust]

ehhhhh idk about new. It’s been what MacBook trackpads have been doing for awhile lol

[pure garnet]

265k is -20fps in town

yeesh

[edgy laurel]

you know what I mean. There aren't any other standalone gaming mice with a clicking mechanism like that. customizable haptic feedback could be real cool. I guess i'm just not a hater

[turbid locust]

I’m not a hater either I just want Logitech to do something other than copy paste the same shape with some new gimmick every couple years lol

[edgy laurel]

what could they possibly do other than stuff like this

[brisk jolt]

them and razer just stick with safe designs

[edgy laurel]

there are hundreds of lightweight mice you can buy. boring. we've figured that out.

and the shape is popular so why change it

[turbid locust]

I’m not saying change it I’m saying make something new

like release a fingertip mouse

do some cool shit

[edgy laurel]

and sell like 5 of them?

[turbid locust]

optimum sells out of his design instantly

every drop

[edgy laurel]

fair point, though people would just hate because its logitech

[turbid locust]

probably but you’ll always have that

[edgy laurel]

speaking of what does it cost for one of his to the US again?

[turbid locust]

I’ve swapped mice probably 4 times in the last year and a half or so

[topaz veldt]

there we go

[turbid locust]

@shell void ordered one iirc

[topaz veldt]

[shrewd meadow]

Alienware causes me pain

Ive been sitting here for an hour trying to get a dust ball out of this fan, because alienware made this heatsink with a fan cover that I cant get off

[edgy laurel]

speaking of optimum i'm sure he'll have a video about this

[shell void]

lightning 1000w vbios works on the tuf pcb, but the wattage reading is inaccurate, and the air cooler fans will not all spin unless you disassemble it and plug in a splitter

[pallid marsh]

3dmark needs to update their estimated fps for games who plays BF V

[turbid locust]

yeah so what you’re saying is it doesn’t play nice

[shell void]

i mean if youre on water then it works fine aside from inaccurate wattage reading

snail could try it on his blocked tuf if he still has that

[turbid locust]

5090 gets limited to 450W and I sleep

5090 aka ram heater

[shell void]

real

it puts out enough heat to make my games crash if im running my 1.6vdd config on my 2r dimms

[low sorrel]

dude

one more point please

[turbid locust]

made my single rank H16A error 1.43v VDD

but tbf it was also basically no ram fan (side mount is too far) in an A3

[edgy laurel]

keep scrolling..?

[uneven bane]

god... the reason file explorer was stupid is because truenas stopped my vdev after i had to pull a drive out earlier

i didnt notice for a stupid amount of time due to all the drive lights being lit up

[shell void]

professional efficiency tip it's better to voltage limit instead of just dragging the power limit slider

youll get less power usage at all times instead of just when your gpu util is maxed out

it was like 50W less with a youtube video running RTX VSR

[marsh apex]

i swapped like 30 minutes ago

[brisk eagle]

ive been using it for a couple of weeks atp

[shell void]

our beloved 5090 wants to run up to 1.1v and max clock even at like 20% util which makes no sense and burns power

0.95v limit is goated

[pallid marsh]

So ram water cooling is back from the dead?!

[shell void]

ram watercooling never went out of style if youre a tryhard

though you can also just watercool your gpu with an exhaust rad and run a fan on your ram instead

[uneven bane]

truenas I love you 23000 years remaining on storage pool scrub, before it went down to 10 minutes

[shell void]

i paid $208 on dec. 6th and i still dont have the mouse

[edgy laurel]

Any indication that its shipped, at least?

[shell void]

it has not been shipped

[pure garnet]

bro donated to him

[edgy laurel]

well thats rough

[topaz veldt]

I cancelled mine, it said shipping March -May

[edgy laurel]

did it say that before purchasing?

[topaz veldt]

Yup

Well like at purchase

[shell void]

i got mine on launch day so theoretically ill have it in march but we shall see

[topaz veldt]

3-5 months for a 3d printed mouse is too much

[edgy laurel]

wonder how many of these he's making in a batch

[shell void]

iirc the first batch was 5000

[edgy laurel]

are they all still printed by him on those resin machines in his videos or is that outsourced

[topaz veldt]

I figured it would be like 2 months

[edgy laurel]

oh, well int hat case, can't be by him

[shell void]

i mean i think they can manage to make 5000 mice with like 6 printers and multiple employees in three months

[edgy laurel]

i guess when you factor in the time its taking, yeah I guess so

[shell void]

it is kinda ridiculous but it's not like i dont have other mice to use in the meantime

id like to try these haptic switches but i dont want a superlight

[cyan canopy]

Love a vi rating mouse

[edgy laurel]

I just want to experience this simply because its a new thing. maybe it'll suck, but it'll be interesting

[shell void]

thats how i feel as well

i dont have any interest in a superlight shaped mouse at all, but i want to try the new mouse switch tech

[turbid locust]

It’s only a matter of time before Razer or similar duplicate it

Have a hard time believing anybody will get me off my Pulsar though

[shell void]

boardzy said that the adjustment period was short and he prefers how they feel over normal mouse switches

i wouldnt be surprised if this just ends up being the new norm for a gaming mouse similar to how all keebs are HE or TMR now

[turbid locust]

the idea of a mouse that doesn’t click breaks my brain

[merry stirrup]

my superlight is modded to be silent

[turbid locust]

ok but you still have a tactile feel of the button going down

[merry stirrup]

it feels like a laptop

[edgy laurel]

the one review I read said there is definitely a bit of brain breaking adjustment but then it just "clicks". pun intended

[livid flame]

https://tenor.com/view/tap-click-mouse-clicky-gif-8891176

[merry stirrup]

i phone 8 homebutton mouse switches

[livid flame]

Genuinely sounds horrific that one

[shell void]

i liked the iphone 8 home button and the design of the 8 plus in general

[livid flame]

I did. However now my ugly mug opens my phone I really dislike that old button

[turbid locust]

besides I simply wouldn’t want a super strike cause it’s too expensive to be that heavy lmao

[shell void]

gotta wait for the chineseum version that weighs and costs half as much

[edgy laurel]

apple does some magical shit with haptic feedback. maybe experiencing that is why I find this interesting

[turbid locust]

I definitely find it interesting and I’m willing to try it, but I will not be buying one myself

if one of the homies grab one I’ll try it but no thanks

[steel stream]

bestbuy return method

[shell void]

id probably love the switches but i am not paying $180 for a mouse shape that i know i do not like

[turbid locust]

I don’t care for the superlight shape as it is. I used to like it until I found a shape I actually like lmao

Superlight feels like an egg

[shell void]

i think my fav mouse shape that ive tried so far was the coolermaster mm710

[turbid locust]

might do it lowk but lol

[edgy laurel]

yeah i'm not actually goingto buy it lol

[shell void]

i hit my peak in val on that mouse

[turbid locust]

My favorite shape is currently my Pulsar X2 Crazylight mini

it feels like a full size mouse but it’s not

35g of peak

I was on a Viper V2 Pro before this and I found it comfortable as well

[shell void]

looks solid

[pure garnet]

i might pick one up

[shell void]

if it was $80 instead of $130 id be down to try it

[pure garnet]

i keep going back to my viper v3 pro but

the fake switches seem interesting

[turbid locust]

I got mine for like $90 on Black Friday

[steel stream]

still not patched yet

[shell void]

[turbid locust]

I’ve only had one big return at BB so

[shell void]

do not try to do a scam return to BB in real life

when i returned my monitor the dude took it out of the box and plugged it in

[steel stream]

BB's greatest warrior

[pure garnet]

i returned my 12600k i bought in nj to my local store and they gave me the biggest look ever

but they took it back

[shell void]

i spent like 15 minutes trying to pack it as nicely as possible and he just dumps the contents on the ground

manhandles the panel and plugs it in at the register

[steel stream]

what a goat

i hope he has his picture on the wall somewhere

[shell void]

employee of the year surely

just dump the $1000 monitor that might not actually be broken straight on the ground

it was actually broken so it's fine but yeesh

[turbid locust]

you can return items for simply not liking it within 15 days

like “I didn’t like it” is a valid reason

[edgy laurel]

feed the open box deals for the rest of us

[turbid locust]

anyways both Best Buy’s in my city don’t have them anyway

because why would they have a product on launch

[steel stream]

without open box this C4 wouldn't be on my desk

[turbid locust]

I bought my C4 new like a man

[steel stream]

i was bummed. I found a badass Anker power bank, of one of the pricey huge ones at BB for a crazy deal. Turned out it was open box. Woulda been fine for me but it was going to be a gift

and I don't know if I can bring myself to gift something open box

[marsh apex]

This is what I got so far

Nothing groundbreaking I just gotta customize it more

[steel stream]

yeah I don't think I could either

[brisk eagle]

i never realized just how cool the keybinds are and how useful they are

[edgy laurel]

pretty sure it was this and it was something like $120

[brisk eagle]

all of the super commands

[steel stream]

damn

[shell void]

same

[marsh apex]

I still need to get used to it

It's really confusing rn I need to pull up the keybind cheat sheet every 2 seconds😭

[edgy laurel]

my C2 was also new from MC. last one

[marsh apex]

What was that spark guilty of

[turbid locust]

The super strikes sold out instantly on Amazon

[brisk eagle]

i learned it pretty quick
at least the ones i use

mostly theyre the same from windows

[marsh apex]

I'm using the hyde config rn

[brisk eagle]

and i was always using the keybinds on windows

[marsh apex]

I've never really used the key binds on any OS so this is a big switch for me

[edgy laurel]

[marsh apex]

I need to remind myself that we're currently at a point in time where Halo CE's story took place before people here were born

[steel stream]

Oh yeah I know of it but have never watched it

[edgy laurel]

Do you know how to spot a linux user?

[vestal granite]

hey tech-chat-2 how ar hang on someone just responded to my youtube comment from like 20 yrs ago

[brisk jolt]

Yeah you’ll see that they are a mental asylum patient-

[steel stream]

imma go comment on every single video guilty

[edgy laurel]

don't worry, i'm (clearly) historically bad and realizing someone commented

so I won't notice for 20 years

[leaden dawn]

CachyOS :>

[edgy laurel]

I genuinely have no idea what version of Vista that was.. wait did Core Duo even support 64bit?

[pure garnet]

same way you can find a weed smoker

[leaden dawn]

Ayy

[vestal granite]

i dunno if i believe youre a linux user, maybe a casual one like ubuntu one

[leaden dawn]

Ok

[pure garnet]

cachyos is a casual linux user

[edgy laurel]

@merry stirrup question

[leaden dawn]

I mean I run GrapheneOS if that's any indicator

[vestal granite]

what is cachyos i only use real operating systems like macintosh OS and microsoft windows OS and android linux OS and fedora linux OS

[merry stirrup]

i think so yeah

not too sure if it was that generation of core 2 tho

almost positive tho

[pure garnet]

arch for the normie gamer

[leaden dawn]

Its arch with realtime kernel/app optimizations basically

[vestal granite]

oh so its arch minus all the arch parts

[pure garnet]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

the funny part is my second PC is actually running Cachy. It was an experiment for linux on desktop that I do every few years. It mostly works

[merry stirrup]

okay yeah so core duo were 32 bit

[leaden dawn]

Also very user friendly ootb

[merry stirrup]

and core 2 duo is 64

[steel stream]

just reinstall windows

[pure garnet]

it's just yet another presetup arch derivative

[leaden dawn]

Essentially

[vestal granite]

that defeats the whole purpose of arch doesnt it

[merry stirrup]

what in the world do these options mean in relation to pretzel crust am i stuppid

[leaden dawn]

I've run normal arch before. Didn't get the performance I wanted but this was like 2021

[pure garnet]

floppa what is vdimm on ocf

[vestal granite]

arch people for the past 15yrs have been like oh u gotta use arch cause u have control over all the bits you put into it and now theyre out here removing all that

[merry stirrup]

probably vdd? idk

[edgy laurel]

Its started doign this thing where if I leave it on without touching it, i'll come back to it and the screen has dimmed and the whole system is locked up.

cba to troubleshoot it so Windows is probably going back on when I get around to it

[steel stream]

don't do cheese sauce

[merry stirrup]

vdimm is as it sounds yknow?

[steel stream]

do pizza sauce and pepperoni

[merry stirrup]

okay but explain im lost on what theyre saying

[leaden dawn]

You can do whatever you want. Its still arch. Not SteamOS

[merry stirrup]

okay thank you

[steel stream]

I am pretty sure it is talking about what sauce they will use on the pizza

[edgy laurel]

It also boots slower than my old Win11 install

[steel stream]

and then what topping

[merry stirrup]

where is my cheese

whateva

[steel stream]

ah damn rip

[steel stream]

i got pretzel crust before but it had cheese sauce and was not great. If you have pizza sauce and maybe cheese sauce on the side it would be goated

the acrtual pretzel crust part was good

[pure garnet]

figured but wasn't sure

no 9000 luck yet

[edgy laurel]

It was fun to experiement with gaming on linux, and Cachy does make it pretty easy but like.. i'm capable of figuring things out and doing research. The normies that think its a good idea to move to Linux "cause its the cool thing to do" are still going tohave a very bad time

[marsh apex]

Ello

[marsh apex]

I watched a Linux distro benchmark the other day

On most games cachy got more fps than bassite and nobara

[vestal granite]

bro just bro just get an LLM bro just get bro just get an an get an LLM bro just an LLM get one bro

[edgy laurel]

Like reading a wiki and copy pasting commands is beyond some of the people we deal with here every day

[marsh apex]

True

[vestal granite]

so what youre saying is take the step by step tutorial docs and ask an LLM to break it down into steps

[steel stream]

get the razer ai gf

[leaden dawn]

I mean some people pick it up pretty well. Kai, my friend I helped move to fedora.. Me as of 2 years ago now even though I do have prior experience

[edgy laurel]

in reality what this means is they just ask in discord channels how to do anything and everything

[steel stream]

pepe can you send me money so i can locally host my ai gf?

[vestal granite]

why do people always think i have money these days what changed in my psyche

[marsh apex]

I remember when I first joined this server and swapped to Fedora when I knew nothing about Linux and I was asking everyone how to use the d.deb file and I literally could not figure it out and everyone started bullying me😭

[steel stream]

idk

you just seem like the type of guy to fund that specific endeavor

[marsh apex]

Thats my girl bro back off

As proton advances I do think this will change

I think the drivers on intel and nvidia sides need to get a lot better as well

[vestal granite]

[marsh apex]

AMD drivers have been perfectly fine for years

[marsh apex]

[leaden dawn]

who needs context when i can randomly assert things with confidence

[vestal granite]

[devout ridge]

It's not ragebait if i'm genuinely a dumbass

[edgy laurel]

Ahh yes, the proper linux experience. Normal update on a stock install.

[vestal granite]

randomly depending on kernel version my thinkpads no longer connect to the internet

i have to skip some kernel versions and i dont know why

happens on every single thinkpad but with different models it varies the version

[steel stream]

my brother had to update his own kernel code because his webcam wasn't working

[leaden dawn]

Gotta start somewhere

[edgy laurel]

lol fuck that. Why do people do this to themselves. oh but i can cuuuuustomize it

[steel stream]

yeah he's customizing his own distro or something it's too much effort

[leaden dawn]

Not unlike me wanting a car as a project but still not having a license

[vestal granite]

they were right to bully you

[marsh apex]

Oh definitely

I was an idiot

[vestal granite]

thats like building a PC and not knowing where you install the CPU cooler you really oughta know that before you try to build a PC

Every day we get closer to me robbing a datacenter for ram

[marsh apex]

[edgy laurel]

meanwhile, everyone that shows up here when they get their parts

[pure garnet]

do i install drivers or just assume i dont need them

[vestal granite]

just rob prebuilt display models

[edgy laurel]

just wait until something doesn't work

[devout ridge]

nah i need ECC RDIMMs

supermicro doesn't do display models

[pure garnet]

well for starters, the web page for my board

[devout ridge]

is that fucking comic sans

Na, its totally ragebait (idk whats going on)

[edgy laurel]

what the actual fuck is that font

[marsh apex]

And I've been using cachyOS for about 20 days

[devout ridge]

I hate the insinuation that only 8 year old girls can write poems about unicorns

i use vivaldi browser and i use duckduckgo for searches, bing for image searches, and chrome google for free LLM questions

You're an edger, aren't you

wait,so was the point that the page isn't loading correctly

[steel stream]

idk what any of that is but that's neat

[pure garnet]

yeah

[edgy laurel]

ok this makes more sense now (i just loaded that same page lol)

[pure garnet]

i went to download my drivers

[devout ridge]

I genuinely believed that was the intended page formatting

[vestal granite]

wait if the page wasnt loading correctly was it using your default browser font which might be comic sans

[pure garnet]

and the page broke

[vestal granite]

https://giphy.com/gifs/dexter-zhko-doakes-car-meme-nKzw3gGy4HZ6Fj12j4

[edgy laurel]

weird cause I don't think those drivers would be involved with that issue

[steel stream]

i would get banned

[pure garnet]

refreshing fixed it

[vestal granite]

i was a die-hard edge fan but they havent done any meaningful updates in 8,000 years so

I'm good on firefox

[marsh apex]

Aight

[leaden dawn]

Keep my updates quick

[marsh apex]

It's in the aur

It's also pretty customizable

[leaden dawn]

Doesn't mean the maintainer will update it as soon as Firefox does

[marsh apex]

Thats true

It's Chromium based

What😭

[vestal granite]

if u store a URL to the linux git repo does that count

[leaden dawn]

http://tinycorelinux.net/

That'll fit on 10-12

[vestal granite]

do they make 10mb flash drives still

perhaps i could firewire 3 together

i recently bought some nice oven safe ceramic plates and i dont yet trust their oven safeness but theyre very nice plates i think everyone should have nice plates that should be a thing they teach you in school that nice plates are nice to have

and i got some forged 18/10 silverware which - same thing - they should teach people in schools about forged silverware

and i got some 100% cotton 410GSM dish towels which are sick they should also teach people in schools the difference between synthetic and natural fabrics

[brisk eagle]

why

im curious

what makes edge so good that people want to use it

[vestal granite]

they shook things up when chrome did nothing but slightly update the UI for a millenia

edge also uses WebView2 so if you, for example, run discord UWP the same browser engine instance is used for both which saves you like 500mb-1gb of memory in case that matters to you

[brisk eagle]

from when i tried it
it was just a ton of ads, a worse ui, a worse search engine,

[brisk eagle]

you can remove edge and keep webview2

its what i did

[vestal granite]

nice, so chrome has webview2 now?

[brisk eagle]

idk

[vestal granite]

well if they do then edge made them do that

[brisk eagle]

im on linux
and even when i was on windows i used waterfox (firefox fork)

[vestal granite]

which is why having edge in the market is great, makes chrome have to actually change things that suck

[brisk eagle]

i do like competition

with chrome vs edge (google vs microsoft) i cant really root for either side

[leaden dawn]

Edge is on linux

[brisk eagle]

3 people use it theres no way people would choose it

ig if you switch and you really like it and want to keep using it

[leaden dawn]

I've heard of people using it

Don't see the appeal myself but

[brisk eagle]

i just like the look, and functionality of, gecko based browsers so much more
tho i do know people that dont like it so theres a thing for everyone

[turbid locust]

I think browser wars in 2026 are funny

use whichever ones your favorite color

[brisk jolt]

Dude came in and started speaking f a c t s

[cosmic gazelle]

firefox is the only browser worth using that still supports ublock origin

kinda seals the deal for me

[marsh apex]

Chromes not broken why change it

[marsh apex]

True

[vestal granite]

why make better pizza when digiorno is fine

because you want better pizza

[marsh apex]

Sure but chrome isn't fine it's a pretty great browser compared to edge

[vestal granite]

i want better pizza. i will always want better pizza. just because the pizza right now is ok does not mean i dont want the pizza to get better

[edgy laurel]

I'll never get the ubo thing. Yeah, it worked. Then it didn't and ubo-lite took over, or adguard which i'm using now. I couldn't give two shits what extension is blocking the ads as long as they're blocked.

[marsh apex]

I'm hungry now

[low sorrel]

twitch ads

but then i found an extension that did that

[edgy laurel]

I wouldn't know, don't watch twitch

[low sorrel]

ubo lite doesn't block twitch ads which is annoying until you realize you can just go on the chrome web store and just find a twitch ad blocking extentsion

Ok i fell behind on alot of tech stuff this month from the looks of it because my friend mentioned the AOC AGON AG275UXM2 to me and I had zero clue what she was on about

[cosmic gazelle]

ubo community posts patches for websites that block blocking constantly

that’s the main perk

[vagrant cargo]

All ive seen in short research on AOC AGON AG275UXM2 is that it has dual mode however both the modes are 1440p abd 4k ?

That sounds neat

I heard its mini led personally though if it releases in uk im definitely getting the hkc m10 ultra

The specs on that are promising escpially for a mini led

that seems like too much for such and old system. usually what people are upgrading from

@turbid locust i tried the ocf 9000 profile and it just boots

still not a happy camper though

[low sorrel]

@pallid marsh

Thats not good

[topaz veldt]

Benchmarking is addictive. I got that 45.3K port royal and now I want 46K

[merry stirrup]

yeah i’m trying to win $40K

[pure garnet]

floppa have you touched iog/clk at all

[young void]

[turbid locust]

fire

[turbid locust]

what card

[pure garnet]

i can boot 9000 at 2 different voltage ranges but i can’t stress the ram or it instantly dies

is this chip just garbage

[turbid locust]

what IMC

[pure garnet]

1.4

[turbid locust]

1.45 time

[pure garnet]

doesn’t matter what i make it though

ocf boots at like 1.5 and it dies same way

[turbid locust]

I’ve only gotten mine like 2 hours kahru at 9K so lol

[pure garnet]

i haven’t gotten 1s

it just locks up on start

[turbid locust]

I think chasing 9K on ARL is the same vibe as 8000 on RPL

[young void]

Toastys

[pure garnet]

a 25m run is all it’s managed to complete

so basically run from cache and pretend ram is relevant

[pure garnet]

1.45v did nothing but the magic numbers i got from salty’s screenshot make it post every time

[turbid locust]

anyways

[topaz veldt]

Turn gdm off?

[turbid locust]

inviting instability for no real gain

ive never bothered fiddling with GDM

[pure garnet]

can i just send 48v to the imc and watch the cpu combust

that would be more entertaining than my 9k attempts

[pallid marsh]

even your 3060 agress its being over worked

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel https://youtube.com/shorts/5lv6yro1UaI?si=TPFKtHCt99WJhGCZ lol the ending

[pure garnet]

okay i lied 1.45v ram vddq makes the tower fall over

i’m gonna just load my profile and give up for today

the irony of a good amd cpu in a shit board and a shit intel cpu in a good board is so peak

[edgy laurel]

soon as he turned i sat up. ok here we go

invested in how this ends

peanut has been known to pop off

[turbid locust]

I needed quite high VDDQ to get 9K even functional

like 1.5+v

[pure garnet]

tx or ram

the ocf profiles blows like 1.53v into the tx but it didn't do anything in regards of stability

[turbid locust]

I think my 9K H24M was 1.45v IMC, TX, and ram VDDQ

H16A needed like 1.5v VDDQ

[pure garnet]

yeah i think my chip just disproves the seby 5 batch thing

[turbid locust]

I forget which you have

[pure garnet]

because regardless of voltage i throw at it things hopeless

h24m in it atm

[turbid locust]

sweetspot go hard

[pure garnet]

the voltages salty posted made posting more reliable but the chip just >dies the second i apply a load

[turbid locust]

I think my apex sets 1.55v ram VDDQ on the H24M 9K profile

[pure garnet]

it's possible neither of my dimms cope with 9000 but i find it hard to believe an 8000 low volt kit can't do 9000 even at loose timings

[turbid locust]

what xmp is it

[pure garnet]

8000 38-48-48-128 1.35v

[turbid locust]

what primaries are you running for 9K and what VDD

[pure garnet]

46-56-56-56-128

tried 1.55 and 1.45

[turbid locust]

hmm ok those should be fine

what SA voltage out of curiosity

[pure garnet]

i'll ask in hwbot when i have a way of phrasing it that doesn't sound im ready to throw the chip in the bin

tried anywhere from 1.4 to 1.5ish

[turbid locust]

try lower ngl

[pure garnet]

it’ll boot the ocf profile or the bz numbers but it just doesn’t do anything

the second it’s loaded my whole system locks up

[turbid locust]

shit do sweetspot like a mf ngl

[pure garnet]

jedec nvl looking more and more appealing

i will try more voltages tomorrow but if i can't get 9k working i'll just do gskill subs on 8600

[merry stirrup]

more concerned about getting frequency on my cpu

[arctic bronze]

128v

[brisk jolt]

we all need NVL and CUdimms

[merry stirrup]

i tbink i need a new big john machine

[hoary hatch]

Real talk

Hyper 212 or wraith max

Probably hyper 212

[uneven onyx]

great i am look for people to help in my tech support thing

[lone scarab]

well you gotta wait

[uneven onyx]

i know

[lone scarab]

there are already people helping?

[uneven onyx]

ya but dont enough

[lone scarab]

well thats all you get

people here arent getting paid to help ya

if you dont like their help then you can tell them to stop discussing in your post so they can help someone else

[livid flame]

You have over 180 replies and you’re asking for people to go help

[lone scarab]

they didnt help enough

according to him

[clear vigil]

quick important question

does my motherboard or cpu or cooler come with the backplate and all the screws

which one of them has those

[slender abyss]

Motherboard - backplate, screws, mounting mechanism (AMD)
CPU - none (see cooler)
Cooler - backplate, screws, mounting mechanism (if applicable)

The original manuals within the box will show you the diagrams of what the product contains

If you don't have them, the digital ones will do too

[clear vigil]

I'm taking apart my pc to sell the components I'm upgrading
and I'm worried I'll take off the backplate and the new cooler won't come with one and I'll be screwed

[slender abyss]

Oh, easy

Look at unboxing videos

Close-up shots in reviews posts / videos would help too

[brisk jolt]

CPU coolers comes with necessary backplates to fit onto the motherboard

[slender abyss]

Unless you're green-mobo oem

Some of the blue or black mobos don't come with backplates too

[brisk jolt]

New cooler will contain whats needed for each respective platform AMD/Intel including the backplate if their cooler requires so

[pallid marsh]

asus lookin ass

[clear vigil]

mine lowkey looks like that except it's biostar and it's z series

z690 chipset

you better believe it's an overclocking beast

[merry stirrup]

cookin

[clear vigil]

my pc feels effectively maxed at the moment except for the things that i won't purchase at ai prices

lacking better ssd and ram
and i guess my i5 could be an i7 with a better motherboard but the i5 14600kf is plenty for my rx 7900xt

so happy with upgrading my pc
will never own a laptop ever again

[brisk jolt]

9950x3d:
X870E Apex:
Gen 5 8TB ssds:
RTX PRO 6000 blackwell:
2x32GB 8000CL40 Vcolor oled ram:

[livid flame]

What even is this sentence. Lowkey means like quietly, silently, literally under the radar. You mean it looks the same, right? But then it looks different because it’s biostar not asus… right?

The whole sentence is a disaster

[clear vigil]

don't worry about it

words aren't real these days

six seveen

[livid flame]

You can go back to ZTT with those communication skills

[clear vigil]

so mad over a word it's not that serious chill out man

[clear vigil]

that's true but i don't have a use case for anything of that tier

my pc is maxed enough for me considering the current prices
hopefully it'll last like 5 years

[brisk jolt]

you just dont have big enough testicles

[clear vigil]

one would need to sell them for that kind of rig

yall have fun with that

[vestal granite]

oranges are tier 1 fruit

[merry stirrup]

@turbid locust what is your 2.5b 6c

@pure garnet you too

[young vapor]

does anyone know any less popular/not mainstream PC case companies i wanna explore my options

[brisk jolt]

formdt1

[young vapor]

ugh i really want like a minimalist case but my gpu is fucking massive

[brisk jolt]

what gpu

[young vapor]

mmmm 5090

[brisk jolt]

which 5090

[young vapor]

astral

[brisk jolt]

xikii ff07

[young vapor]

yeah i know i got this gpu super cheap as a kinda gift so i dont ACTUALLY have a bunch of money lol

[brisk jolt]

nah thats cap

astral is definitely on the expensive side of 5090s

[livid flame]

I always thought there should only be 1 SKU per AIB for the top range card tbh

Like if someone’s gonna buy the best, don’t give them the option to cheap out on the best sort of thing

Like different clock speeds on memory, ram etc. just seems so pointless in top tier

[merry stirrup]

happy with my results tonight

calling it on the benching after abotu 6 hours

[devout ridge]

floppa, i understand why you like ram OC now

[wraith steeple]

[topaz veldt]

No one likes ram oc

[winged mountain]

Hello i recently started up my old pc so my dad can play minecraft with me and my siblings.
Problem is i had removed the main hardrive to get more storage on my main pc, so had to reinstall windows on a usb windows 10 and the pc has been breaking/failing around 1-2 days after the windows install does anyone know why?

Its quite an old pc to ddr3

[edgy laurel]

No, no one knows why without considerably more detail, clarification and some time to troubleshoot. If you're prepared for that, post in #1027757333117415424

[winged mountain]

I got 1 detail which i thought might be the problem so when i start the pc the dram lights blinks red once which im guessing is not a good sign?

Ive also reseated the ram and defaulted bios settings but same light appears

[devout ridge]

Got it!

Just made a post there if anyone wants to check it out🙏🏻

[wraith steeple]

[shell void]

that helps explain how the dual tile cpu is able to put out 700W+

it’s going to be the coldest running and easiest to cool consumer cpu ever (wattage normalized)

[brisk jolt]

Trying to get 8600: The first challenge Im facing is voltages

Either that or this just doesnt like 8600

[steel stream]

so hype dude

[green marsh]

kinda annoyed by the result of the SODIMM DDR4 experiment... The adapter works just fine, but my memory modules are incompatible even when i run them at 2133 :D. the Kingston modules are dual rank, the SODIMM modules are single rank, result is 'we don't want to work together' 😄

[brisk jolt]

I dont think i can run 8600 without loosening or overvolting above 1.5v and running straight into heat problems

[shell void]

kinda funky that there’ll be numerous nova lake users that have more cores than they have ram though xD

can’t wait to see people running 2x16 on a 52 core cpu

[steel stream]

2x16 5600MHz

[shell void]

i wish that i had got some 64GB 2R 6400MT/s Hynix ECC UDIMMs before the kaboom

[fringe vigil]

SSD prices gone up too? Tf

[edgy laurel]

https://klipy.com/gifs/where-are-you-where-you-been

[brisk jolt]

Have you been living at the bikini bottom?

Damn, even 8600C52 1.52v doesnt boot

Ive tried 1.45 IMC and it seems to also have done nothing

[fringe vigil]

kinda but I never really needed a ssd so never looked

[steel stream]

Azerbaijan, same difference really

[brisk jolt]

are we fr rn is this not capable of 8400

[fringe vigil]

It’s not that funny lil bro 🥀

[steel stream]

sorry Jorj, won't happen again

[slim pebble]

It makes me glad that I did 😆

[shell void]

you got a 2x64gb 6400 ecc kit?

[slim pebble]

96GB C26 6000 kit, I should be able to set the timings to 6400/C28 at least no?

[untold kettle]

Hi guys. I built a gaming pc just before Covid started.

Motherboard - ASUs prime b450

Gpu- rtx 2060

Ram- Corsair vengeance ddr4 3200

CPU - ryzen 7 2700x

Ssd- 1tb

And I’ve been wondering how I could upgrade but I don’t know the path I would take to upgrade cause if I wanted ddr5 ram that means I need a new motherboard etc. what’s the best path to upgrade as time goes so I don’t have to splash cash all at once?

[shell void]

oh you’re talking about a standard 2x48 hynix non-ecc kit

yeah i’ve seen people run those at 7200 on arrow lake

[slim pebble]

Also what’s unclear: Are they making the dual compute tile 52 core chip bllc?

[steel stream]

I'd probs upgrade to some 5000 series CPU, and then get a better gpu

[steel stream]

supposedly yes

[untold kettle]

Do you think ddr4 ram is still okay

[slim pebble]

I’m there, especially if it’s the end of this year

[steel stream]

yeah it's fine

[steel stream]

rumored 288MB

[untold kettle]

Okay thank you
