sugarless gum makes ur mouth salivate more and so it like pushes the acidity out

but its a science like chew sugarless gum 30 mins after eating or something

[merry stirrup]

ah

[steel stream]

I just go through gum so quickly

[vestal granite]

me too they need to makei t more expensive

$1.49 for a pack of gum im eating that shit in 1 sitting i swear to god

$11.49 for a pack of gum ill be more careful

[steel stream]

i gotta buy gum from costco again

[vestal granite]

i wonder if theres dental prescription gum

surely there is they have a prescription version of everything

theres like prescription toothpaste and mouthwash which is supposedly stuff that actually does something

[steel stream]

prescription deoderant

[fringe vigil]

Chum chompkins

[steel stream]

i also like gum when i take exams

[vestal granite]

luckily for me i dont have super bad BO genes, i just use normal old spice stuff and it works fine, i think people dont realize that new sweat doesnt smell and its only the old sweat knowmsayn so like if u shower after gym youre fine or if you dont stew in your sweat for 8 hrs youre fine

and then other times like blue collar professions its just unavoidable so dont even sweat it HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhahahaha

[steel stream]

i know it's bad but I use the aluminum stuff, it just works better

[vestal granite]

yeah i already drink from lead pipes, aluminum is NOT where im drawing the line

aluminum is like top 3 metals

[vestal granite]

japan just learned about smash burgers didnt they

[steel stream]

I use the Harry's stuff, old spice has too much of a negative connotation

[fervent chasm]

this is the same exact shit they sold at polish picnics

[steel stream]

god I love smashburgers

[topaz veldt]

@fringe vigil which toy made you crushed?

[vestal granite]

more surface is more flavor, FACT

[fringe vigil]

[vestal granite]

big hamburgers are only good when u have good burger meat and most places dont have good burger meat FACT

[topaz veldt]

Do you know what's amazing about our Micro Center?

[fervent chasm]

thats why you make ur own burgers

[steel stream]

if you say smash burgers im moving to philly

[steel stream]

Friend onion smashburgers are the best

[vestal granite]

sometimes life gives you $22.50 and a burger shop across the street and by golly you have to cross that street to get a $22 duck burger

[bitter oar]

Anyone got any good gaming pre builds to recommend

[steel stream]

Just beef, cheese, onion, and salt

[vestal granite]

oh theres a literal smashburger brand i thought smash burgers were just burgers you smash onto the griddle

[muted pasture]

i have this issue i think i tried almost everything to fix it but everytime i "fix" it my pc restarts and the problems occurs again i cant use my nvme 980 ssd m.2 slot card and i dont know if its a software or a hardware problem

[random flame]

[merry stirrup]

smashing burger

[fervent chasm]

that being said we dont really do burgers, just grill potatos, chicken wings, and steak

[steel stream]

smashburger by me closed down sadly, but that's dope

[fervent chasm]

shishkebobs sometimes

[vestal granite]

what ive been doin is i crank up the heat on my stove and then put a cast iron skillet on it then i put a slab of butter (i eat like 2 things a day because i dont do much physical activity other than i walk 4 miles a day so i gotta get my daily butter consumption in) and then i smash the burger onto the butter on the skillet

[hoary hatch]

Would be down for one rn

[steel stream]

I gotta clean my cast iron skilelt

I use stainless steel for my smashburgers rn

[vestal granite]

i dont know what the fuss is about with cast iron skillets everyones always talking about oh no dont use soap to clean it but ive been using soap my entire life and everyone i know who would make corn bread in their cast iron uses soap too

[hoary hatch]

I use soap it's fine

[steel stream]

pepe I bet you recognize game so Ill send you the best smashburger recipe hold on

[steel stream]

use soap without lye and it's fine

[vestal granite]

i just oil the pan after i clean it and it keeps it fine idk if thats how ur supposed to do it

[steel stream]

yeah that's it

https://youtu.be/u6ubttMQ2r0 fried onion smash burger is the way to go

[hoary hatch]

Jorj WHAT THE FUCK BRO

[vestal granite]

hmmm

[steel stream]

And for burger sauce it's just mayo, ketchup, mustard, hotsauce, and a bit of pickle juice and worcestershire sauce if you want

[steel stream]

if you make it at home it's still good enough

[vestal granite]

i know this dude is making good burgers just based on the mutton chops

[steel stream]

but you should make the pilgrimmage and let me know

[vestal granite]

wtf this is cheap

$12 for a double $7.50 for a single, no extra for cheese/toppings

[steel stream]

dope

you gotta go man

[merry stirrup]

literally same bro i’m gonna cry now

[steel stream]

make one for dinner boss

[random flame]

To be fair, if he mentioned something along the lines of the "V" word, then maybe that would've been more out of context than the other one. Lol.

[merry stirrup]

not sure if we have buns 😞

[steel stream]

https://tenor.com/view/no-the-office-michael-scott-scream-gif-16929305

now I want a smashburger fuck

[hoary hatch]

Is that what he meant

[random flame]

No, but it wouldn't have been any less out of context if he did.

[vestal granite]

and he uses potato rolls this guy is so goated

[steel stream]

I made the friend onion burger at home and it's so good

my roommates also like them

[edgy laurel]

don't eat your friends

[low sorrel]

but they're tasty

[faint shuttle]

no onion no pickle

[edgy laurel]

no friend

[low sorrel]

yes friend

i wanna eat my friends why can't i eat my friends

[edgy laurel]

also you crazy, give me all the onion and pickle

[low sorrel]

side note how do you make keyboard rgb brighter? ever sicne i've gotten this keyboard the rgb is dim af

[merry stirrup]

hella onion, 2 pickles

2 pickle chips*

[edgy laurel]

in the software or with keycommands in the manual, assuming its possible at all

[merry stirrup]

esp on a smash burga onions are so good

[faint shuttle]

fuck no

fuckkkkkk

[merry stirrup]

esp when they get that nice cook on em

i just really like onions i wont hold you

[edgy laurel]

I just ate giant green olives with garlic stuff in the middle out of a jar. We are not the same.

[merry stirrup]

never had a green olive

[low sorrel]

nevermind i just took off the keycaps on this keyboard and the switches are a very dark purple with a tiny hole for rgb

[merry stirrup]

i love normal olives however so

[low sorrel]

probably need to buy those see through switches then

with the clear tops

[merry stirrup]

i think i have those

[edgy laurel]

"shinethrough"

[faint shuttle]

both is fine, just not onion and pickle

[low sorrel]

is that the word

[merry stirrup]

what

the mix is great wdym

rather have both than just 1 or the other fs

[edgy laurel]

its the word i've seen used. there is a clear plastic base thats open through the lettering

[merry stirrup]

also your keyboard itself has a good amount to do with how well the lights shine thru the caps

you need northfacing leds or something iirc idk

could be south facing but that seems worse to me in my head

[low sorrel]

north facing

[merry stirrup]

mine r like dat

[low sorrel]

no like the switches themselves are opaque

[merry stirrup]

i fw the rainbow barf rgb affect more than i should

pretty colorss ooooo

[low sorrel]

and i would like to be able to see my keyboard at night

[merry stirrup]

just know where the buttons are

[low sorrel]

I do

[edgy laurel]

shinethrough just means the lettering is clear though the switch so the RGB shines.. through

[merry stirrup]

does anyone know why nvcp keeps overriding my display color settings back to default

its really pissing me off. i hate having to override my monitor to reference mode every boot

colors look substantially worse its not even worth considering ignoring it

[low sorrel]

are you talking about those keycaps where it can shine through the keycaps and it has the letter on it?

[pure garnet]

it didn’t stop until i reinstalled windows, try ddu

well also i stopped using nvapp beta

[edgy laurel]

i'm just talking about normal shine through keycaps

[merry stirrup]

eh fuck it why not try it

[low sorrel]

yeah i don't have those and i don

don't want that type of rgb

[edgy laurel]

there are also "pudding" style where the bottom portion of the keycap is translucent

[low sorrel]

like i want it to look something like this

[merry stirrup]

ok im trying this brb

[low sorrel]

but it's not bright enough

[merry stirrup]

fw this although basic

[edgy laurel]

ok so those aren't shinethrough at all

[edgy laurel]

i used to run those. it became a little much

[merry stirrup]

whelp didnt work alright

[low sorrel]

Yeah but the problem is my keyboard looks like this with the RGB on

I want to be able to see the rgb

[merry stirrup]

its also broad day

[merry stirrup]

it did it just took a second for nvidia to apply

[edgy laurel]

Kinda how mine is now and it’s fine, kinda stopped caring about the RGB.

[low sorrel]

Pulled down my black out curtains

[merry stirrup]

thats not bad

[edgy laurel]

i need a new set. will probably get along with new switches

these are PBT but still eventually get shiny

[low sorrel]

i heard hmx is all the rage right now

for switches

[edgy laurel]

never heard of em (but i also don't follow the scene)

[merry stirrup]

i like my creamy yellows

[edgy laurel]

i just google "popular tactile switches" and buy the one i see more than one person mention

[low sorrel]

yeah but i want it brighter

[low sorrel]

so i guess you have boba u4ts then

[edgy laurel]

in fact I do, actually.

and even these have started to not register inputs

in fact if you see me miss a space, thats why

sometimes I cba to fix it

[merry stirrup]

i only replaced my last ones cause theyd do the opposite 😭

double letter era floppa

[low sorrel]

remember before i got these keyboard?

[edgy laurel]

if I buy new switches, it will be the 4th set in this keyboard

wait.. i probably have some extras somewhere..

[low sorrel]

i wonder if theres dust in the hotswap pins

[merry stirrup]

2nd in mine

[low sorrel]

happened to my brother

[edgy laurel]

they're fine for like a year or 18 months then they start acting up

i think I just wear out peripherals

[low sorrel]

I've only had that happen once ever and that was the shitty logitech keyboard that i had

[edgy laurel]

my G502X i've worn down the rubber on the righthand side where your pinkie rests

[low sorrel]

it was like 4 years?

[edgy laurel]

Gorious Panda's, then Akko Lavender Purples, and now these Boba's

i should go find the extras and swap out my spacebar

[low sorrel]

oh yeah last time i looked into the scene people really liked gateron type rs because they had a very different feel from all the other tactiles

[edgy laurel]

yeah if I get new ones, i'm always down for something new

huh, is anyone else doing hotswap batteries?

[low sorrel]

thats fucking sick

[edgy laurel]

alternative to having to plug it in.. but that doesn't bother me

i plugged in my G502X last night when I was going to bed

[faint shuttle]

did they copied from ps1

[edgy laurel]

can't remember the last time I did it

[low sorrel]

maybe i like it because my superlight uses fucking micro usb

and i always have the find the one micro usb cable

[edgy laurel]

you don't keep the wire with some slack coiled up above your mousemat?

with the receiver plugged in?

I just unplug the receiver and plug the mouse in and use it wired for a bit if I have to. rarely do

[low sorrel]

not long enough

[faint shuttle]

once i play with wired, it feels heavy

[edgy laurel]

you feel it drag no matter how light

[fringe vigil]

look at all the games he has on desktop lol

[shell void]

dudes a real gamer

[lethal topaz]

it makes me want to throw the mouse when i play plugged in

love my mouse

[faint shuttle]

my mouse wheel is fucked, i dont know why

probably dust

[fringe vigil]

i mean he is a streamer so

[undone relic]

https://koriebonx98.github.io/Game.OS.Userdata/index.html

site I made for game database, accounts work, messaging and friends too

[turbid locust]

yeah I just do this like once a month

[young void]

[turbid locust]

people that complain about charging wireless mice are… interesting

[pure garnet]

my vipers battery is starting to get kinda worn but it's still like once a week max

i've had this mouse for about 2 years

i feel like i can't be mad about battery degradation 2 years into ownership

[turbid locust]

I need mice to get the same wireless charging that phones have

[brisk jolt]

My beast x max suffers with 3 days with pretty moderate use but tbf its light af

[pure garnet]

unc mouse

[brisk jolt]

Oh damn, 12th November 2024 for mine

[edgy laurel]

I don't think i'd accept having to charge once a month

i dunno, i'm used to going so long I can't remember the last time

[turbid locust]

lol

[brisk jolt]

the lion charges when it blinks red

[turbid locust]

real

[edgy laurel]

wait

I meant once a week. i already charge roughly once a month

[turbid locust]

The thing about my mice is they never die when I’m chillin

always in game lmao

[edgy laurel]

ahh see I notice the red blinking light well before that

its always when i get home from work it seems like

[turbid locust]

Crazylight’s light is on the bottom so lol

[edgy laurel]

well shit

yeah you just fucked i guess

[brisk jolt]

I want WLmouse beast x mini but using those uhh… HE or whatever

optical? idk whats the official tech name or its just rebranded HE or some shit

[edgy laurel]

mag mouse

[turbid locust]

yeah the moment it pump fakes the dying I just hot swap to either my R6 or Viper V2 Pro and then let it charge

[edgy laurel]

$145 and you get the coolest RX ever

[brisk jolt]

Im between a mini pro or a huan for my next mouse tbh

[fringe vigil]

[brisk jolt]

I think im gonna get a huan tbh

[edgy laurel]

ngl this is sick

[devout ridge]

I have it, it is sick

[turbid locust]

I don’t like holes where I touch

[brisk jolt]

Its gonna be nore of a travel mouse- I think i rather it be entirely solid

[pure garnet]

my usb hub is powered when the pc is off/sleeping so i genuinely don't mind just plugging it in after i finish playing on sunday

[brisk jolt]

Base mini or mini pro? (v1 or v2)

[edgy laurel]

yeah, I feelthe same when I have todo it so i getit

disclaimer about missing spaces, see previous switchtalk

[devout ridge]

i have to check, one sec

[edgy laurel]

idgaf

[devout ridge]

Mini Pro V1

[edgy laurel]

hmm, the sides having holes might bother me. the palm area is whatever

but look at the receiver Mac

[turbid locust]

lol

[devout ridge]

went from the G305 to this, and it's amazing

[wraith steeple]

[devout ridge]

I thought so too, but it don't notice it at all anymore

[edgy laurel]

thats quite a jump

[low sorrel]

like how many grams are they saving

[turbid locust]

G305 is quite fat for me nowadays but still plenty usable

[brisk jolt]

I really want either the mini pro or the huan but at the same time, those HE switched

[edgy laurel]

oh wait, you can order with solid sides

[devout ridge]

Very much so, and i am so happy i did

I went with OMRON opticals and they're really nice, no complaints, though i don't know how it compares to the Nihils

[turbid locust]

OMRON as a choice is nuts

[pure garnet]

i just got box black ink switches

[low sorrel]

what sensor does it have

[pure garnet]

because i tried to go cheap and daily mx blacks and the spring clanged like the taco bell ads everytime i hit a key

so i went for the nice ones this go around

[devout ridge]

Is there something wrong with them?

[wraith steeple]

I had to google what Omrons were

[turbid locust]

omrons are not durable

[edgy laurel]

its a company

[pure garnet]

well the ones in the logitech mice are undervolted too

so they are more likely to mess up

[turbid locust]

mm ok

[brisk jolt]

modern logitech versus long term use

[turbid locust]

I refuse to buy a high end Logitech mouse anymore

[low sorrel]

why are they undervolted

[edgy laurel]

whatever the fuck they were putting in G703 before it went optical was TRASH

i liked the shape so I kept buying it but killed the switches in 3 of them

[turbid locust]

I had back to back superlights with click and scroll issues

fuck logitech

[low sorrel]

i like the superlight 1 switches

they feel nice

[turbid locust]

mushy trash btw

[edgy laurel]

i'm fine with optical though. breaking a beam of light is more reliable than a mechanical contact

[low sorrel]

idk felt better then my friends superlight 2s

[turbid locust]

the best superlight I ever had was when mine broke and I swapped the switches and scroll encoder

With that being said the shape is still mid

[edgy laurel]

my first gaming mouse was the first gen 2013 Deathadder and that thing still isn't dead. one of the people that works for me is still using it today at the office.

[turbid locust]

I think I deadass used a Dell OEM mouse till like 2016 or some crazy shit

[wraith steeple]

Mine was an uhhhhhh

[edgy laurel]

elite?

[turbid locust]

nah uhh lemme try to find it

[edgy laurel]

also RIP Xtrac pads

Ripper XXL was the goat

[turbid locust]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/388824968277 one of these bad boys

[edgy laurel]

oh god, I hate that one. weirdly narrow

[turbid locust]

yeah lol

[edgy laurel]

wtf is that shape

[turbid locust]

that’s some peak

[low sorrel]

I had this thing for like 5 years

[edgy laurel]

is the picture making it look worse lol

[edgy laurel]

newer deathadder?

[low sorrel]

mamba elite

worked well

synapase can fuck off tho

[edgy laurel]

used M65 for a bit, was garbage. heavy as hell

[turbid locust]

I went from that Dell OEM to a G305 lol

Actually I think I had something between that but I don’t remember

[low sorrel]

still have it

[brisk jolt]

thats diabolical shaping

[wraith steeple]

My first was a PS/2 mouse

[random flame]

Oh that's literally what I'm still using too.

[low sorrel]

I had the weights on it for 3 years before I learned you can take them off

[edgy laurel]

jerry there are some pictures you don't put on the internet

gross lol

[random flame]

It already lost it's rubber thumb grip, due to the adhesive being unable to hold it anymore.

[low sorrel]

What

I said I had it not that I use it

Little bit of dust

[random flame]

Also, how on earth did you get so much that dust on that thing?

[low sorrel]

Been under my bed for 2 years

Back up mluse

[lethal topaz]

gpx in 2026??

gpx was quite good

i was angry logitech stopped innovating on it, then they released the super strike

[turbid locust]

I thought the superlight was my endgame mouse till I tried literally any other high end mouse from a different company

[lethal topaz]

i switched to pulsar x2cl

[low sorrel]

It works

[turbid locust]

GANG

[lethal topaz]

i am kinda down to try a fingertip mouse now

[low sorrel]

I will not buy a new mouse until this one stops working

[lethal topaz]

but dont want to drop some coin on it so i probably wont

[turbid locust]

I tried one I 3d printed and used G305 guts in and didn’t like it

[low sorrel]

I have no idea what the difference between fingertip and claw is and I'm too afraid to ask

[lethal topaz]

i weight modded my gpx and gave it to my friend. he loves it

its like 2 grams lighter than stock lol

[wraith steeple]

I think it was one of those generic ass Microsoft PS/2 mice to be more specific

[turbid locust]

After my first one broke, I got an RMA unit and modded the first one. Eventually wanted to try something new and gave the RMA new unit to my brother. His starting having issues as well, so I gave him the one I modded as well.

[lethal topaz]

my gpx actually had the battery come loose. but i didnt rma it i added a piece of tape inside

[turbid locust]

Click and scroll issues on both units for us

[edgy laurel]

rare? I flashed it with the tool Google provided when Stadia died to convert it to a normal Xinput BT controller.

I don't use it

[turbid locust]

That looks annoying to use

[lethal topaz]

gpx was actually goated if it didnt have the QC issues

[turbid locust]

It’s using symmetrical sticks without the ergonomics that make symmetrical sticks comfortable lmao

[edgy laurel]

the buttons and triggers are terrible

[lethal topaz]

yeah looks like it

[edgy laurel]

the D-pad buttons are digital clicky buttons

like they actually click

[lethal topaz]

im actually quite interested in the logitech superstrike though. if they make it work then it will actually be the new best tech

[brisk jolt]

it’ll die of death within the next year

https://tenor.com/view/mclaren-disastercals-gif-3549840301773162905

[edgy laurel]

na, it'll just be cloned for cheaper

[lethal topaz]

good

[edgy laurel]

i just wanna try it

[brisk jolt]

oh no cloned for cheaper’s gonna be in the next month or 2

[lethal topaz]

well it is patented so it will be tricky selling a clone in the us

[edgy laurel]

it'll be on aliexpress before long

[low sorrel]

I'm ready for the 45 dollar chinese copy

[lethal topaz]

180$ is tuff

if it was like, 120$ i would be so much more tempted to get it

[leaden oasis]

decent cooler for a 3900x?

[low sorrel]

Pa120

[leaden oasis]

I care about aesthetics a tiny bit

[brisk jolt]

this

[leaden oasis]

bro no!!!!

[shell void]

pick an AIO that you think looks nice in the largest size that fits in the top of your case as an exhaust

[leaden oasis]

any commendable brands?

[shell void]

it doesnt really matter because almost everything uses the same asetek style pump

thermalright is a safe cheap brand

[brisk jolt]

when in doubt just take the phantom spirit evo out

[shell void]

if you wanted to max out on aesthetics then id pick the Lian Li Hydroshift II LCD, but that costs more than your CPU does

[brisk jolt]

optimal

[leaden oasis]

👍 how do I know what my case would fit

[brisk jolt]

if its a matx case that basically fits every cpu cooler

[shell void]

the webpage for your case on the manufacturer's website should list radiator compatibility

[edgy laurel]

you look at its specs page

[brisk jolt]

squircle fan

[leaden oasis]

the top cooling bit?

[shell void]

so you would get a 360mm aio and put in the top of your case as exhaust

[brisk jolt]

I have a 360mm in the havn hs420 60mm gap looks funky

[edgy laurel]

bro it has 420 in the name

what were you thinking

[shell void]

setsuna brings great shame to his family

[brisk jolt]

reused from previous case

and arctic refuses to restock any 420mm lf3 pro in white

[edgy laurel]

which Phanteks case is this, exactly?

[shell void]

you know what you need to do bro

a custom loop for nova lake

go all out in the hs420 like god intended

[leaden oasis]

enthoo evolv

[brisk jolt]

inb4 I stuff that z990i U7 into another itx

[edgy laurel]

X2?

[leaden oasis]

tempered glass edition if that makes any difference

[leaden oasis]

no

[edgy laurel]

older then? not familiar with any other Evolv

[shell void]

yeh the old one

[leaden oasis]

yeah the old one

[shell void]

from back when pc hardware was more fun

[edgy laurel]

alright alright 😆

[leaden oasis]

damn I should paint mine black

[brisk jolt]

what the actual f

[wraith steeple]

Daniel of SC made a couple client builds in these

Heavily modified ofc

[edgy laurel]

just what people happened to choose i guess

[shell void]

i am begging nvidia to give us an update to RTX VSR with a better upscaling model and motion interpolation

either that or for youtube to support 120fps which is unlikely

[leaden oasis]

I have 2 fans up front, how would the fan setup change if I used them

2 intake up top?

where’d the link go.

[shell void]

you can leave those front fans alone

[wheat void]

top and front of what

[edgy laurel]

it was the wrong one. this is correct. https://pcpartpicker.com/builds/?using=NRvZxr#c=360

[shell void]

install a 360mm radiator up top

[leaden oasis]

is the piece with the fans the radiator? I’ve only used the stuff that comes in the box

[edgy laurel]

Thats your case with all 360 AIO's for a visual on how its often setup. Pretty basic. Front intake, top exhaust. Done.

[shell void]

im not sure i understand what you just said, but the AIO comes with everything you need including the fans

[edgy laurel]

michael i'm looking through those builds and LOL

[shell void]

okay that's kinda sick i cant lie

get a better chair and a single bigger monitor and youre chillin

[edgy laurel]

basically giant headphones at that point

[low sorrel]

What happens you crack the volume to 100?

[wraith steeple]

Or actually quite a few looking back on his earlier vids

[leaden oasis]

should the rest of the case be fine for Air if I used it for the radiator?

[edgy laurel]

I'm not entirely sure what you mean?

are you looking at the builds in that case with the rad up top?

[leaden oasis]

I think I’ll do this, thanks.

or would front be better?

[shell void]

top exhaust is optimal for an aio water cooler

you can leave your two front fans that you mentioned alone

just screw the new aio in up top

[leaden oasis]

would the fm360 be fine? I can’t find anyone saying anything about it in this server

[brisk jolt]

you cause an earthquake

[fringe vigil]

can i delete everything in this folder

the unwanted cache

[steel stream]

you have to do the burger in taht video i sent

[steel stream]

i swore i made a typo but couldnt see it

[wise bear]

just let windows manage the fuckin' folders

[turbid locust]

delete system32

[edgy laurel]

just looking out for your friends

[edgy laurel]

just run disk cleanup

click the button for system files, check all the boxes

[fringe vigil]

all selected

[edgy laurel]

yeah just do that, safer

[brisk jolt]

oof 289 sgd for the x2 superstrike

[zenith remnant]

Currently I have a i5 10400f. I play very heavy cpu game and my mother bored is only compatible with 10th gen cpus what would be the best cpu under 200 dollars to increase fps???

i hate how the only 8bitdo i can go pickup rn is a collab one

because all the ones in a pure dark colour are across the island

[turbid locust]

[edgy laurel]

Singapore? isn't the other side of the island like a 5 minute walk

[wraith steeple]

its still a chonky 40 minutes by car and 1 hour by public transport which i cant afford by how i need it now xd

[edgy laurel]

had to remind myself of the size by overlaying it on the area I live

by the looks of it I'd be crossing the whole island the long way twice every day lol

[steel stream]

[cosmic gazelle]

i'm going to cancel my order of this motherboard if the damn seller doesn't ship it tomorrow

i paid on monday he needs to get off his ass

i have the ud5h coming from goodwill but that means i have to figure out a full atx case solution which would be a bummer because i won't be able to fit it on my shelf

i could technically just do a test bench but idk where to find a selection of those

@edgy laurel if i don't plan on moving the system often and it's not going in a dusty area is there a specific reason NOT to use a test bench as a case for a secondary pc

besides that it's ugly

[edgy laurel]

cant' really think of any

[wheat void]

Meanwhile my overthinking ass only doing local listings in fear of not shipping out the same day as I get paid for it will have the cops kick down my doors

[cosmic gazelle]

well for me ebay gives me an explicit day i need to ship by and i ship 1 day before. that usually means the buyer pays sunday night and they get shipped tuesday

[wheat void]

I'd be stunned if its an actual seller and not just...a user selling something

[cosmic gazelle]

oh it's a seller he has a bunch of reviews bitching about him not shipping on time 😂

[wheat void]

you actually read the terms and conditions of this arrangement

its rarer and rarer to see actual sellers not have glowing reviews for quick shipping

[cosmic gazelle]

i'm actually kind of hoping he doesn't ship it because it's a hassle for me to return the case and fans i already bought, but i'm saving a boatload of money by just putting the ud5h on a test bed instead

[wheat void]

as I understand it, you can cancel as long as the shipping label has not* been made for a full refund without a case right?

[cosmic gazelle]

he hasn't even made a label so yeah

completely unresponsive

it's a little bit of a bummer just because i was looking forward to seeing how the silver soul 110 performs for such a tiny cooler, but i guess i'll just "have" to buy a regular pa120 instead 😂

[wheat void]

its kinda funny I think being a seller is a viable income but to be there you just need to ship things quickly

[cosmic gazelle]

100%, he has no clue when the next dude who wants that specific motherboard is gonna come around

you know it's bad when goodwill already shipped my motherboard @wheat void 😭

like this thing HAS to work right?

all original

[wheat void]

goodwill does ETAIL?!?!?

https://shopgoodwill.com/

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah some good stuff on there sometimes

[wheat void]

their inbound product flow is random shit piled in boxes unloaded from the trunk of a sedan

do workers cherry pick things at each branch or something

[cosmic gazelle]

i would imagine they look for known higher value items

[wheat void]

browsing this feel likes walking into a pawn shop I love it

[cosmic gazelle]

my local goodwill has a load of horse manure for their tech section so i bet ya all the good stuff goes to auction

[wheat void]

the electronics are more like antiquity but still fun

[hoary hatch]

I think it's somewhat new

[wheat void]

horse poo yea thats one way of saying it

lmfao

[cosmic gazelle]

they have so much junk that you either scroll forever or you do a custom search

[wheat void]

unless they have an amazon tier refund policy I couldnt buy something here with the expectation that it works

[cosmic gazelle]

i mean no one has amazon tier but i'm pretty sure their return policy isn't terrible if it's not in the condition you ordered it

[tropic idol]

hi so I just built a pc, mixed with used and new parts (I got the ram right before the shortage) 5800x, 6650XT, 16gb 3200mhz corsair dominator platinum ddr4, montech air 100 argb case, msi 650w psu, thermalight evo 120, 256gb nvme ssd, 500gb sata ssd 1tb wd blue hard drive, asrock b450m steel legend mobo, I got it all for 565 bucks did I overpay in any way or was the deals I snagged alright?

[cosmic gazelle]

that's not a horrible deal atm

i wouldn't say like deal of a lifetime but it's pretty decent

[tropic idol]

the 256gb sk hynix ssd was 12 bucks

so that was defo a bargain even if it is only a gen 3 nvme drive

works well enough for windows at least

[wheat void]

with that kinda budget its hard to expect much more

[tropic idol]

yeah In this market theres not much you can do, especially with ram and ssd prices going through the roof even on the used market

[cosmic gazelle]

if you don't have an idea why you'd notice the difference between gen 3 and gen 4 speeds, they're probably the same for you

[tropic idol]

ngl half my library is steam games from 2017 or before so I just slap them on the wd blue 1tb hdd cause honestly theyre basically all single player games and an extra 20 seconds to load smth aint exactly something to cry about

[cosmic gazelle]

yeah if i know a game's a bit older i'll just throw it on the hdd too

[tropic idol]

no weird ue5 loading stutters, no shader compilation, games were 90% of the time optimised was a beautiful time in gaming we all took for granted

[cosmic gazelle]

idk about that last part, i remember when rdr2 released 😂

people were like "a 2080 ti for max settings? another shitty rockstar port"

[tropic idol]

tbf rdr2 didnt come to pc till 2019 almost 2020

AC origins on the other hand

that was an ubisoft nightmare at the time

[nimble pike]

That's not bad

[cosmic gazelle]

got it for $40 shipped becuase no one else bid

[fringe vigil]

chip diddy chip

[tropic idol]

is a 1440p ips or mini led monitor better, only issue with a cheaper mini led monitor would be lack of dimming zones causing terrible haloing and blooming

[devout ridge]

depends

i wonder how many times i've responded to a question with "depends" in this server

[tropic idol]

lmao

[devout ridge]

43 times

[tropic idol]

depends on what though

[devout ridge]

Exact model, what you're playing on the monitor, personal preferences

[tropic idol]

well id like some form of depth in the shadows so basically good contrast which is the bonus of mini led over ips, I do play competetive shooters but sometimes I do just like kicking back and playing a single player story game

[devout ridge]

I'd look at reviews of specific monitor models and decide for yourself what you prefer

[edgy laurel]

Mini LED is a backlight tech, IPS is a panel tech. These aren't opposites to be compared. There are IPS panels with MiniLED backlights.

[hoary hatch]

Desperately trying to get rid of mine
Why does nobody want 8gb of ddr3

[edgy laurel]

MiniLED vs. maybe traditional edge-lit backlighting

[hoary hatch]

I was just about to type this

Mini LED backlight > traditional edge lit

[tropic idol]

well thank you for the education, but would you consider a mini led monitor over a traditional monitor then

I dont have the cash to jump to oled, but I want a nice middle ground

[edgy laurel]

Edge-lit LCD's are dead to me, so yes. However I went OLED 3 years ago.

[hoary hatch]

Mini LED backlighting is a good middle ground

[edgy laurel]

1440p 27" 240Hz OLED's are ~$370 right now

[hoary hatch]

🔫 hand over the link

[tropic idol]

thank you thats all I needed to know, is there any concern with how many dimming zones it should have for lets say a 27 inch display

nvm

[hoary hatch]

$390 with a $20 promo gift card

[tropic idol]

oled are 350-400

since when

[hoary hatch]

Since at least 2026/02/19

[tropic idol]

arent you a funny guy

[hoary hatch]

I try

[tropic idol]

[edgy laurel]

I mean when was that $399 deal everybody jumped on. early 2025?

[turbid locust]

awhile

Black Friday 2024

[edgy laurel]

oh damn

[brisk jolt]

I highk didnt know theres 280hz qdoleds

[cosmic gazelle]

is there anything better for air cooling than the pa120 that doesn't cost much more

[tropic idol]

is it worth double the money over a 240hz 1440p 27 inch mini led though

[edgy laurel]

they're all just 240Hz but the manufacturers are juicing up

[tropic idol]

cause where I live I can grab them for 210 ish

[turbid locust]

cause I got that $400 one Black Friday 2024 and then bought my C4 Feb 2025

[edgy laurel]

If thats good enough for you,thats fine. Your display is one if not the most important part of the total experience considering its ilterally what you look at.

[cosmic gazelle]

mac i have post ebay clarity and i'm canceling the gene order because the seller hasn't even made a label after 4 days, and gonna use the goodwill ud5h instead

[turbid locust]

fire

[cosmic gazelle]

unless it's busted for some reason

[tropic idol]

I have a 6650xt and 5800x pretty sure a $399 monitor is out of my price range

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gawfolk-Monitor-Computer-Monitors-Support/dp/B0FQPBV8TH/ref=sr_1_8_sspa?crid=WXPEAAGVVTXS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.YOG48Sg7Uf0jzSafmXdMv6KQ6AGTIRN9XpR_pja27EOGuxCyn3lcuX70W8dZ7QD0x1oKYs6Kvj_OynOgnOyvQUIznlc6lJ5lcZKqfuNw1Xytt38KGTDR5norzMzilNncEEo0hKnw7TaiYEaAAk_4CU2QSAYSsh3NmcFZw5TOkpaDpDG6B_wVEeaig3owXmul2DoY7WIynnXec1_3542SrRis8DwaDkEMF-u76pIwXqg.D-XtUIZkgTROPDttug55-un_1A_eplsXtANOzSwA9IU&dib_tag=se&keywords=1440p%2Boled&qid=1771558458&sprefix=1440p%2Bol%2Caps%2C300&sr=8-8-spons&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d7e5a2de-8759-4da3-993c-d11b6e3d217f&aref=uOI1M0NkO1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGY&th=1

surely this is bull

[cosmic gazelle]

you plan on gaming at 4k on a 6650?

[tropic idol]

no chance

I play at 1080 240hz rn

[edgy laurel]

I can't see prices on UK amazon

[tropic idol]

its 190

[tropic idol]

for a 4k 160hz dual mode

[cosmic gazelle]

uk amazon prices be like 10 willywonkers and a tip of your cap to the prime minister innit

[tropic idol]

ips monitor I dont want it

[edgy laurel]

I dunno, cheaping out on a monitor isn't something I'll ever do. it matters too much

[tropic idol]

Im irish smh

[tropic idol]

I wouldnt buy it I just feel like its sketchy

or the panel is horrendous

[cosmic gazelle]

i don't think i can use the expletives necessary to adapt my sentence to the way irish people talk

[wheat void]

monitors on amazon will do what they're advertised for long enough

but

do the math on just how many hours you'll stare a monitor

and try to realize sooner than later its worth the higher spec

[tropic idol]

I dont swear that much...

[cosmic gazelle]

least vulgar irish person, we found him

[tropic idol]

tbf even stubbing my toe ends in 100 swears

[tropic idol]

bad timing

[wheat void]

any monitor you stare at for long enough is gonna eventually look good, but when you realize what you gave up for thousands of hours cause you were impatient it hurts

[tropic idol]

to an extent I was raised well enough where my whole vocabulary dosent consistent of just vulgar language

I may be irish but I aint a tramp

[wheat void]

doesnt this kill the value of it entirely

if you stub your toe a little harder do you do 110 swears?

[tropic idol]

I swear less

Im in so much pain one swear suffices

[wheat void]

idk how to say it

but value your profanity

its more fun that way

other people will respect it more if its uncommon from you

[tropic idol]

well, tbf I swear alot, but I basically never drink alcohol so Im not that bad

I only swear extensively around my close friends

I dont swear barely ever outside of my own house in public

[wheat void]

ah so a colleague knows that an "oh fuck" is something real

you're clear

[cosmic gazelle]

just started a return for all the previous shit and a cancellation request for the gene

i will be saving $108.31 and be getting a significantly better cooler

can afford to buy some kickass ram too

[topaz veldt]

but why

[pure garnet]

why so much vdd?

[topaz veldt]

8000 CL36?

155 trfc

[pure garnet]

my h24m is 8000c38 1.35v which i’d assume is worse than your 6000c26

[topaz veldt]

IMHO there's a lot of vdd between 38 and 36 at 8000

my 8000 CL32 is 1.6

[pure garnet]

if it works it works, not like a fan won’t make up the difference

[topaz veldt]

it runs hot

its in SFF lol

[topaz veldt]

do you have a zentimings shot

[pure garnet]

not on hand for that setup no

for 8000 i always just used the patreon bz timings though

[topaz veldt]

this?

[pure garnet]

yeah

[pure garnet]

my old sticks

[topaz veldt]

what vdd/vddq

[pure garnet]

1.45v vdd/q/io for that iirc

i gave those sticks to my sister when i got the better kit

[topaz veldt]

its funny he says vddq auto

i have literally never done auto for that

[brisk jolt]

Just picked up a 8bitdo Ultimate 2

Unfortunately its not a colour I wanted but whatever

[pure garnet]

on msi it automatically just syncs the vdd value

so i’ve shot 1.65v vddio into my 7800x3d before

[topaz veldt]

same with asus

[vagrant cargo]

Its 5am on the uk cant sleep and now stuck thinking about when we might ever see holodecks or visual filters for entire rooms without needing vr or ar or mr glasses or headsets

Tbh a visual filter for a room and all yhe stuff in it would be awesome, I would change mine to a mixture of anime studio ghibli style and cyber punk

And come on who doesnt want to see holodecks become real imagine exploring your favourite games not with a console but in a fully immersive way

Imagine been in a holodeck been a space marines and fighting orks or aliens

[topaz veldt]

uhh ok

[wheat void]

because our current understanding of science cant let us break the rules of physics and bend light

it would be much easier to hack our brains directly to give the illusion of this

[topaz veldt]

@pure garnet loaded bz lazy 8000 and pulled vdd/q down to 1.4

[vagrant cargo]

I wonder actually apparently there is some stuff apparently from Sony or lighthouse works for walls only which can display artworks and stuff and tbh that would be kind of neat actually require lots of power but would be cool , imsgine your in your room gaming, and the wallpaper is just a display , I would set mine to either replicate walls from hp lovecrafts Miskatonic University or maybe have the walls replicate walls from the oldest house from the game control

[topaz veldt]

I think my 8000 CL38 tune that worked on 9800/9850X3D was just too low on VDDIO for this 9950X3D

[vagrant cargo]

Tbh main tech i think we could see pc wise at least yhe next 5 to 6 years is led display cases where yhe entire case minus a few areas is a led screen

[pure garnet]

possible

[vagrant cargo]

Tbh I just want a pc case where its mostly a led frame so I can the theme whenever

Alter the*

[brisk jolt]

nah id

[low sorrel]

I have a suspicion that these skintones might not be correct

[brisk jolt]

What if he came out of nuking the toilet?

y’never know

[wheat void]

its too bad that so much R&D goes into RGB and aesthetics of a device you use by not looking at it

[low sorrel]

he just got a really bad spray tan

[vagrant cargo]

I think with rgb you dont look at it but a pc case what can have a visual theme on it using a whole frame made of a led displays what are connected would be so much cooler

[edgy laurel]

The only time I've ever seen anyone want something like this is when you bring it up. No one wants this and frankly it would be cheesy as hell. If you want a display, just buy a display.

[vagrant cargo]

Tbh I would see more point in this than rgb

[edgy laurel]

The reason it doesn't exist is because no one would buy it and they know that.

A glowing box on your desk sounds downright awful

[vagrant cargo]

Tbh rgb is cheesy as hell and everyone wants that , the led displays on the case or majority of it would just add better visual flair than rgb can ever achieve in my opinion

[wheat void]

eh, maybe we're just being a cranky old men too jaded to dream

[edgy laurel]

Visual flair? For what?

[vagrant cargo]

Your set up

[edgy laurel]

My guy its a PC case, not a monitor.

[vagrant cargo]

Imagine it the pc case could have a cel shaded art style around yhe case or even if its done software wise you could buy new styles based on ip you like

[wheat void]

I hope the future of cases is something like this

[vagrant cargo]

So for example a case what replicates hp lovecrafts works like pickmans model

[edgy laurel]

You can do that already, its called a vinyl wrap. Costs 1/10 of the price, doesn't suck back power and put a glowing sun on your desk.

[wheat void]

a good pc is hot enough

[brisk jolt]

i believe in sff superiority

[edgy laurel]

You may want this but they'll sell like 5 of them, they'll show up in tiktok's to wow 14y/o's and then they'll die

[vagrant cargo]

And the tech route would improve that because you wouldn't need to change vinyl wrap it would all be handled software wise and displayed onto the frame what has led displays on them

[wheat void]

another deadly sin of hardware, software dependency

strike 3

[topaz veldt]

its crazy, "auto" is 1.47v

[wheat void]

ay guilty would you buy my hypothetical case

[vagrant cargo]

Tbh for me the main tech I wanna see is proper led display helmets closer ive seen been somewhat decent is qudi 2 however i wanna see the display in the entire front not segmented , tbh be handy in the uk as the uk goverment has slowly been using facial recognition cctv cameras, which is made worse given the goverment apparently will be using ai with it

I hate the uk so much at the moment

Every day the uk turns into real life black mirror

[brisk jolt]

it is impossible to underestimate you

[wheat void]

from the outside it would appear more like the dark ages. combat by blade

[vagrant cargo]

Tbh im curious if I buy a normal led mask at the moment if I would be arrested wearing it in public to avoid facial recognition cctv cameras

[wheat void]

in what way?

[brisk jolt]

every way possible

[vagrant cargo]

Nah we have that in the uk its called avoiding getting shanked in citys like London or Birmingham

[wheat void]

why the flattery

[brisk jolt]

[wheat void]

is this like, a grammar trap I fell into?

I havent even realized I fell

[brisk jolt]

do you need me to explain it to you

[wheat void]

you'll need to throw me that rope if I have fell into it cause im still pretty comfy down here

[brisk jolt]

No matter how low we put our expectations of you to be you’ll always find a way to go lower

[wheat void]

oh, I was just interpreting it like a binary

double negative baby, well done

I love these kinds of things

[storm hatch]

now that I can get the gpu fans to plug into normal headers what pcb should I shove in here the 5090 pcb is decently short a 960 dual fan pcb dont fit ill have to do a single fan pcb most likely

[edgy laurel]

https://imgur.com/AlqDsRK

those people that told you that was dumb were right

[storm hatch]

😭

I didnt pay anything for it so eh only cost so far is connectors

[edgy laurel]

it quite literally makes no sense. its an ugly cooler, upside down, pulling air away from the GPU thats actually real.

[storm hatch]

well that was just a test its getting its own pcb to go in my other computer

[edgy laurel]

Everything improves by removing it from the case

[storm hatch]

once I find a short board gpu that is decent ill see if I single fan 3060 works next

[pure garnet]

putting a 3060 into a 5090 ventus cooler might be the weirdest larp i’ve ever seen

[storm hatch]

I had a mini atx pc with a 3080 3 fan lmao its was so goofy it ran sorta hot but not bad

thing was a mess

[wheat void]

Is the angle of this photo making it look deceptively narrow? This looks like you could slide it under. Like, even a low height bed

[storm hatch]

it is only as big as the gpu no space behind the motherboard either

it was a wire noodle mess lol but that was how I bought it, lady had intermittent issues so they took it to micro center, micro center took it apart and returned it to here with most things only half screws and said they found nothing was wrong, so I did the same and found the psu wires for the gpu where melted

@brisk jolt @turbid locust so I've been raging at my PC for stuttering in FPS games...

2560x1600 165hz oled, Good CPU, 32GB RAM, and a dedicated 5060 GPU for under 1200 USD

[arctic bronze]

im just messin with ya

[frank zealot]

I'm thinking my boss wants a unicorn of a laptop:
Not underpowered (doesn't have to be super powerful, but not underpowered)
10-12 hours of /actual usage/ on battery
dgpu is a positive, but not necessarilly required

Running Win 11. Not a Mac

[fringe vigil]

Cus it’s just a little too late

[turbid locust]

flight diverted were so fucked

jk my 3 hour layover gonna fuckin carry fs

[hoary hatch]

Lol

Getting ads for Samsung Galaxy S26 ultra cases when the phone hasn't even been announced yet

[merry stirrup]

latest gen intel w/the new igpu

[hoary hatch]

10-12 hours + dGPU is gonna be fun to find

[brisk jolt]

X7 358H

[merry stirrup]

dgpu is a positive not a requirement so realistically who cares if the igpu is convieniently as strong as a typical cheap dgpu

[hoary hatch]

They should have got a heavily discounted 288V 32gb option just a few months ago

[merry stirrup]

1500 for an omnibook with an oled screen tbh thats p good

[hoary hatch]

NGL

I've wanted to try a Samsung Galaxy book for years, but their pricing has always been unreasonable

[merry stirrup]

their fancy chromebooks?

[hoary hatch]

No they are windows

[merry stirrup]

oh ok getting it confused for something else then

[hoary hatch]

There's also usually been some kind of compromise

Like they put OLED panels in their laptops early on
But they were 16:9 when 16:10 was getting popular

[merry stirrup]

yeah im seein that

[hoary hatch]

bruh they're still 16:9?

Who the fuck is in charge over there

[merry stirrup]

if the 5 is the latest, yes

[hoary hatch]

Galaxy books should just be windows clones of MacBooks with OLED panels

[merry stirrup]

its got a 256V so idk

[hoary hatch]

Book 6 is announced with panther lake

[merry stirrup]

[frank zealot]

I was poking around for panther, doesn't seem like many companies have adopted yet
at least on the business side of things

[pure garnet]

has anyone seen the minecraft people crying that their haswell igpus don’t support vulkan

[hoary hatch]

I'd go full smasnug if the laptop and tablet pricing was reasonable

i was talking about stuff like this

[hoary hatch]

Minecraft uses vulkan?!

[pure garnet]

they’re moving to it

[merry stirrup]

just swapped over yesterday, well announced

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/another-step-towards-vibrant-visuals-for-java-edition

lol

[hoary hatch]

I thought we didn't associate with poverty around here

Haswell in 2026 psh

Get outta here

[turbid locust]

BUT MY 1080TI

[merry stirrup]

powerbook players are cooked.

[pure garnet]

that supports vulkan

[hoary hatch]

Only 9 years old

[merry stirrup]

just not great cause it doesnt have async

[turbid locust]

oh word

[merry stirrup]

but it does in fact support vulkan yeah

[pure garnet]

i saw some dude rocking the hd 4600 mad he didn’t support it

[merry stirrup]

lmao

[pure garnet]

like bro 😭

[merry stirrup]

the GT 730 youre forced to buy to keep playing minecraft is a small price to pay

[turbid locust]

If you don’t own a 5090 you don’t deserve pc gaming fr

[hoary hatch]

They can keep running old versions of Minecraft

[frank zealot]

HAHA
BB Doesn't have Core Ultra Series 3 in their filters yet, despite having the laptops. >.<

[shell void]

dudes acting like you MUST play the latest version of minecraft on your 13 year old office PC

[merry stirrup]

oh lol

[turbid locust]

1.7.10 better anyways

[shell void]

you can play any older version that has more mod support and active servers anyway

[hoary hatch]

To be fair, best buy filtering sucks

[merry stirrup]

yeah that omni book at a first glance looks great tho

i fw the keyboard

my ubuntu desktop vm kept crashing yesterday and i couldnt figure out why

[merry stirrup]

i updated it and it stopped, guess ill never know

[pure garnet]

i will use my m1 pro 14” until the m10 pro

i just have very little use for a laptop rn

[shell void]

it's core ultra x7 king

[turbid locust]

Same. For now.

[shell void]

the two panther lake skus that youll want to look for if youre shopping for a premium thin and light are Ultra X7 358H, and Ultra X9 388H

[turbid locust]

I have a not so sudden interest in music production

but like might actually do something about said interest this time

[merry stirrup]

this guy so real

[shell void]

these both have the full cpu and gpu config with 32GB of ram

[pure garnet]

dj macintosh

[turbid locust]

type shit

[shell void]

the lower cost but still interesting option is the Ultra 5 338H which is 4p4e4lpe and 10xe3 instead of 4p8e4lpe and 12xe3

[turbid locust]

get me on a Yuno Miles track ASAP

[merry stirrup]

hed carry you and thats saying a lot

[turbid locust]

real

The real question is FL or Ableton

[merry stirrup]

i think no matter what you do just dont swap

[turbid locust]

Real

[pure garnet]

i don’t think you have enough estrogen for ableton

[turbid locust]

that’s the only advice I’ve been given

[merry stirrup]

programmer socks on the amazon list

[frank zealot]

sadly that chip doesn't come up with anything when I search.

On BB it pulls up projectors when I search 338H lol

[turbid locust]

Don’t assume my estrogen levels bro

[merry stirrup]

true

[hoary hatch]

Same
Technically my M1 MBA and zen2 ROG G14 are both due for upgrades but I barely use them

[shell void]

the curse of good hearing bro i can hear my mini fridge, ultrasonic humidifer, ceiling fan, and even the tiny fan in my belkin wireless charger

[merry stirrup]

wheres the pic of you holding the apex box, estrogen levels off the charts

[shell void]

yeah options are few right now

[pure garnet]

the 4050 in my g14 kinda aged like milk but i had no use for the 4060 or higher configs

[hoary hatch]

Ultrasonic humidifiers any good? I couldn't breathe the other day so I was contemplating a humidifier

[turbid locust]

aye fuck you

[hoary hatch]

My 2060 is fine when I remember it's a 2060

[shell void]

yes and no it's hard to say

[merry stirrup]

yeah this is honestly the best way to put it

[turbid locust]

errbody hit it with me hit the sea lion

[frank zealot]

What the fuck is this resolution>?
It's 16:10... but... the fuck?

[shell void]

it depends on how hard your tap water is and what kind of maintenance youre willing to tolerate

[pure garnet]

z890 soypex

[hoary hatch]

I'd rather have a g14 no dGPU just nice iGPU

[brisk jolt]

thats my shitty amd laptop res

[merry stirrup]

W ragebait on my part

[hoary hatch]

My tap water is pretty decent in Portland

And yeah I wouldn't care to keep buying distilled for it

I guess I would if I had to

[frank zealot]

that resolution is a problem.

2048x1280? rough

[shell void]

pros: small, nearly silent, cheaper, no need to buy filters

cons: calcium and magnesium in your tap water are shot out into the room leaving white dust around the unit, and those hard minerals will also leave a film of scale inside the unit if you dont flush and wipe it occasionally

if you have pretty soft tap water then give it a shot

[frank zealot]

Why would you make a 16" oled in 2048x1280?

Jesus christ. Just burn the panels instead, that's terrible.

[shell void]

evaporative units are more air friendly, but you have to buy new wicks, and theyre more annoying to move or fill up

[hoary hatch]

Hmmmm understood

I wonder if there is a way to actually check how hard my water is

[shell void]

ive thought about buying a countertop water distiller but it seems a bit crazy to me

[frank zealot]

you can buy water tests easily

[shell void]

they take 900W sustained over like 5 hours to produce 6L of distilled water from cold tap

im giving mine a go with just tap water and ill monitor how the dust and grime situation is first

i just got it yesterday because i got tired of static discharging and waking up with dry mouth

[slim pebble]

Still less power than your PC 😆

[frank zealot]

I wonder what this means for tech:
The Supreme Court just ruled that about half of Trump's tarriffs were illegal, and have to be stopped.
(And potentially paid back)

[shell void]

NUH UH

im a civilized gentleman i daily drive a 0.95v limit which puts me at like 300W on the 5090 with dlss performance

[turbid locust]

Michael you wackass bitch

ngl I expected that to get warshipped

[shell void]

[turbid locust]

Kinda funnier that it didn’t

[wise bear]

[brisk jolt]

I hooked up my ITX to the 4K tv with the bois- With raytracing and DLSS balanced it still looked HELLA nice

[shell void]

i have considered getting some cotton gloves to sleep with lotion on my hands

[shell void]

i believe it

i would probably use dlss ultra performance if i was gaming on the couch on a 4k tv

with the new preset l

[brisk jolt]

its a shame the TV is like, QLED but it was still very nice in picture quality, they were all actually stunned by it lol

[shell void]

what game were u playin?

[brisk jolt]

cyberpunk

[shell void]

[brisk jolt]

that 8bitdo ultimate 2 is also hella nice

[shell void]

im pretty happy with mine too aside from the fact that i shouldve got the other version that doesnt have swapped buttons

[brisk jolt]

my only regret is that i didnt discover and order one earlier to get a solid colour

[frank zealot]

I suggested she wait 2-3 months for 338H options to exist, and she's cool with that. She doesn't have much travelling planned this winter/spring

[shell void]

did you see the banana colored one? i was tempted to get that

[brisk jolt]

I needed one asap and i wasnt willing to spend another 2 hours in travel time

[shell void]

geez yeah i cant find a single U5 338H laptop

theyre probably not in a rush to put out cutdown lower margin skus

[turbid locust]

these airlines know how to keep me happy

I have been given a third bourbon

[shell void]

i didnt see that one; that's certainly one of the color options of all time

[frank zealot]

yeah I did see that.
Which is why I suggested waiting a bit

I suspect by may or june they'll exist

[shell void]

inshallah

that could end up being the golden sku for people that just want a competent laptop if they can price it aggressively

[wise bear]

i hate that every time i say/hear/see "mashallah" I thinked of allah as mashed potatoes

[frank zealot]

I'm less worried about the price since work's buying it. 😉

[shell void]

NO DONT MASH ALLAH

[wise bear]

LMAO

[brisk jolt]

If the stars align… Ill get a 358h and pass the 8945HS on

[shell void]

oh you might as well get a 358H or 388H then xD

[frank zealot]

I suspect the 338 will do better battery life

[shell void]

idk if we'll see 338H laptops with nice displays, keyboards, and 100WH batteries

perhaps we will, we shall see later

[frank zealot]

she's after 10+ hours of actual work time.
