[edgy laurel]

We can't tell you why that happens without extensive troubleshooting.

[outer lodge]

i think ill js buy a new power supply

and maybe cmos

[topaz veldt]

I had some discord prompt that sad same name new look or something

But I clicked out, wtf was it saying

[edgy laurel]

didn't we do that whole name update thing like 2 years ago

checking the patchnotes and I see this

I'd love this

whoa, wtf is vibing Wumpus

press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+W

[low sorrel]

how is this any different then how moderators can already bypass slow mode

[edgy laurel]

i don't know, i'm not a moderator

i'm just reading the latest patch notes

I can't get this to work

[low sorrel]

nerd

[edgy laurel]

Oh, it wasn't working on a forwarded video

it works on the original though

[cosmic gazelle]

man I can't really give the pa120 a hard time for its mounting system because this thing is cooling the 4790k during rdr2 gameplay at near silence

[pure garnet]

i would hope a 2 tower modern air cooler would handle 40w of heat

[topaz veldt]

lol yea

[cosmic gazelle]

i’ve just never focused a build on acoustics before and i’m surprised how quiet it is

i also have an aggressive fan curve on my main system lol

[shell void]

@pure garnet if i want trfc to work the same way that it has since am5 launch do i use "normal mode" in the new agesa?

[fringe vigil]

[granite dirge]

well this was a news story i wasnt expecting to read todday after a bllizzard https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2026/02/24/cocaine-levels-in-nantuckets-wastewater-are-growing-exponentially-no-one-is-sure-exactly-why

[edgy laurel]

well then

[pure garnet]

yeah

unless msi pushed another bios you're stuck in normal mode anyway

the agesa pre 1.3 on my board has no toggle like asus added

[granite dirge]

the more puzzling thing, is its an island...

[edgy laurel]

is that where you are? How bad did you get it up there

[granite dirge]

not exactaly where i am im a bit more north, i got 37 inches on top of the snow we allreadyd had, the piles are taller than my 58 inch self and were getting 2 more inches tonight

[edgy laurel]

DAMN

[gentle urchin]

getting 2 more inches tonight

[fringe vigil]

[topaz veldt]

@edgy laurel local friend selling an X870E Extreme for $300... should I

[granite dirge]

the snow piles literally melded with my hyundai ellantra in the back, because of the drift

[edgy laurel]

No

[topaz veldt]

Fineeee

[pure garnet]

if you sell one 9800x3d that covers the board and leaves you a 9800x3d to put in it

[topaz veldt]

yeah just no case or gpu or anything

I was thinking I could replace the X670E Hero with it

but I am using like 3 or 4 NVMe in that thing

I suspect the X870E Extreme has lame NVMe

[pallid marsh]

What type of surgery

[hoary hatch]

It's been a pretty mild winter over here. Not even a millimeter of snow. We did get like 30 minutes of hail though

[pallid marsh]

Utah skipped winter

[hoary hatch]

Pretty much what we did

[keen wigeon]

Colorado skipped it as well

We are going to burn. It will be the fires of hell all summer.

My camping spots 🙁

[pallid marsh]

https://www.fox13now.com/news/local-news/northern-utah/olympic-qualifying-events-moved-from-utah-due-to-lack-of-snow

[pallid marsh]

Keep the fires to your side of the Rockies not ours

[keen wigeon]

You’ll take fire and you’ll like it

[pallid marsh]

Noo

[keen wigeon]

Noooooooo

I guess I go overlanding in Utah this summer

[topaz veldt]

Anyone need a 9800X3D

[keen wigeon]

Beep beep I’ll live in my jeep

[pallid marsh]

For freeeee?

[keen wigeon]

Save it for later, put it in a potato chip bag.

[turbid locust]

explode the ocean

and explode any employee that complains about the schedule they literally made

explode New Jersey

[warped mountain]

seems like the best move right now?

• Raid 6 gonna use it for file backup /consolidation of the current 18 individual drives i have right now.
  most intensive thing will be media server, quality depends on host device/ upload speed.
  pairing with the router pictured.
• ISP router only has 1gig ports. getting that router,
  planning on NAS on 10gig port, ISP on first 2.5, then 2 left open for expansion, one 2.5 to my thunderbolt 4 dock for my 14 inch M4 Macbook 128GB I just ordered.
  add storage as pricing allows.
  calc shows 56TB on raid 6, i have 64TB data across those drives, hoping for some duplicates as i go through them.

any advise on tools to organize the media libraries?

oh i ordered 4 of those 28TB refirbs

[turbid locust]

significantly cheaper to build your own out of spare parts/cheap used parts

$1,500 diskless is wtf

[edgy laurel]

Mac remember who you're talking to

[turbid locust]

who tf is that

[teal orbit]

What the hell

gaming computer money on a NAS

[turbid locust]

Is $1500 even considered gaming computer money anymore

[devout ridge]

it is

[brisk jolt]

a professional idiot never satisfied with what they have

[turbid locust]

Fire

[turbid locust]

My pov is skewed

[merry stirrup]

guys.

[turbid locust]

iPhone autocorrect is just doing its own thing nowadays

[merry stirrup]

incredible news

my 13900KS works now

[turbid locust]

lol

[edgy laurel]

not the news i was hoping for

[merry stirrup]

i genuinely got away with my shitty soldering job

[turbid locust]

wtf did you solder on a cpu

[merry stirrup]

i knocked off a SMD on it at some point

[brisk jolt]

Did he solder steriods onto it?

[merry stirrup]

which i assume was why it didn’t work last time i tested it

so i found it in the case it was in and shittily resoldered it on

works.

you see ts

[topaz veldt]

oh...

[merry stirrup]

it’s securely placed i just did it like a dumbass

i’m going to redo it now that i know the cpu works lmao that’s so awesome

[brisk jolt]

He’s gonna push it 100mhz and its gonna explode again

[steel stream]

damn it not again

[topaz veldt]

Day 2 with "big" Mac Mini and I am not sure why I bought it

[granite dirge]

pretty sure not counting infllaated ram prices my pc is more than that?

[steel stream]

cause why not

it's like the box of cables everyone has, just in case

[pallid marsh]

Cheap ram pc

[warped mountain]

its $1,370. seemed inline for an 8 bay build no?
its got dual 10 gig nics, alder lake.

[pallid marsh]

You bought it to scalp/ resell when apples ram contracts runs out

[topaz veldt]

exactly

[brisk jolt]

Do we reckon the iphone 18 series would take a hit in price or have some compromises compared to this gen?

[pallid marsh]

Optiplex/Lenovo diy nas is so much cooler

[steel stream]

you know better than this, crystal ball

[brisk jolt]

Yeah you right

[pallid marsh]

If Samsung's galaxy mobile department got refused ram from Samsung memory department idk what apple will do

[steel stream]

or just get a Jonsbo N5, with standard atx parts

[warped mountain]

i saw this too, but though probably shouldn't support them
the 2nd one was cheaper, but rack mount, and ppl said it doesn't have enough useful feature.
thats all i saw from names i recgonized.

[shell void]

oh okay i wont bother updating to it then

[brisk jolt]

samsung people ran into their own samsung issues

[pallid marsh]

I'm so happy I'm not a data hoarder

[wraith steeple]

[steel stream]

I just need my movies

[brisk jolt]

when I am in a “not satisfied” competition and KoolCordell is my opp

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squidward-gif-26154670

[warped mountain]

this was the last DIY NAS build from late last year "purchased" is the HDD's isolated (not avail at that price anymore 🙁 )

[warped mountain]

i just posted that build

[pallid marsh]

I should set up like a 2tb nas for my parents family photos

[steel stream]

Immich is neat

[warped mountain]

wym?

[edgy laurel]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/375445211280572437/1047368639722029096/765334fd91b94dfbca3a6fe72e62eb06b24590c8c7daf2ee1e183768b376e589_1.gif.gif

[warped mountain]

it mostly pictures, music, family videos. i think only 8TB is movies, and 4TB is TV shows.

[warped mountain]

that build list was literally from tech 2 💀

[pallid marsh]

You have 150tb in raw hdds though....

[leaden dawn]

Oh I love this

[warped mountain]

but yeah $2,800 for DIY seemed ... excessive...

[leaden dawn]

Lenovo is the delorean of computers to me

[cosmic gazelle]

that psu alone is worth $50, shame i can’t go get it tn

[pallid marsh]

The cooler alone is almost $50

[leaden dawn]

Wym "can't confirm"

Where memory lol

[brisk jolt]

I gobbled it up

[warped mountain]

yeah, i have 18 drives to consolidate. and more importantly get if off of the M.2's so i can sell them for 15% over what i paid for them new ! (joking .... although 🤔)
i was gonna keep kicking it down the road and order another 2 4TB Samsung T7's or Lexar 790's in external enclosures .... but the price 😭
since prices will keep going up for at least through at least summer 2027 before stabilizing at the "new normal" then hover for 3+ years before supply starts to catch up ... i was like i kinda need to handle this NOW.

[devout ridge]

“worked when last used” yet no ram

[warped mountain]

sold for $20/ GB

[warped mountain]

i paid under $300 for each of my DIY portables to give you persprective ... in summer 2024

[leaden dawn]

Yk these companies are gonna landfill this hardware when they are done with it too

[brisk eagle]

i love being a data hoarder tbh

[warped mountain]

it also will cover backing up my phones, tablet, and M4 Max macbook. video foortage is large 🙁

[leaden dawn]

Struggle.

[wraith steeple]

My ripjwaws kit is now in the grand area (USD)

[steel stream]

sell sell sell!

[steel stream]

I've seen too many data hoarders try to back up all of wikipedia which is insane to me

[leaden dawn]

I'm going to eventually

[wraith steeple]

It's in my Intel rig (the one I'm typing from)

Although I could get over two grand from the total of DDR4 kits I have

[steel stream]

but why

[pallid marsh]

Sell before 2027

[brisk eagle]

its only like 50GB?

[devout ridge]

compressed, text only, it’s 24-28GB

[leaden dawn]

Yeah its not that big tbh. But my worry is updating it

[brisk eagle]

yea downloading all of wikipedia is on my to do list

[devout ridge]

if you add media, make that 24-28 petabytes

[brisk eagle]

you just get a service to do it for you

[brisk eagle]

well, yea

[devout ridge]

kidding, it’s only 540 terabytes for the media included, and full edit history version

[pallid marsh]

https://youtu.be/HQ_3g2hUCn4?si=-sYOVF0nvkgsdnjB this skit makes fun of those peoplewhat if the Internet dies I still need X thing!

[devout ridge]

downloading the text only version isn’t that crazy

you’re never actually gonna make use of it, but whatever

[leaden dawn]

I don't care about the internet dying. But uh.. Well.. Other than that I just think its neat lol

All the information literally at my fingertips

[devout ridge]

it’s tedious to actually make use of

it’s entirely unformatted text

[pallid marsh]

If only we had a physical version of Wikipedia in every school and city

[devout ridge]

uh, we don’t

[leaden dawn]

Yeah I'm not sure how well that holds these days

[steel stream]

idk, if we get to a point where offline wikipedia could be helpful, bigger fish to fry

[pallid marsh]

Well we sorta do

[devout ridge]

library gets you some of the way, but far from the comprehensive history of almost everything that wikipedia has

[leaden dawn]

Kiwix

[brisk jolt]

finna hit them with the “japan is bla bla bla electricity”

[wraith steeple]

We used to..... It was called Encarta (or at least it was as close as it got to it)

[pallid marsh]

I take it back the library won't have the ltt Linus hard R records

[brisk jolt]

Do they have the linus drop tip records?

[edgy laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/luke-lafr-wan-show-linus-tech-tips-ltt-wtf-gif-gif-27693908

[warped mountain]

But yeah I thought a simple NAS was the way to go when 8GB is now $130 for some reason ... Keep the build "basic" . The Intel i5 1235u isn't amazing, but should be powerful enough.

I have the Onn 4k streaming box so I am sure that CPU can handle lossless to whatever that quad-core can handle without dropping frames.

With only 5-8mbps upload speed (sometimes 40, depends on its mood), I don't imagine there will be much accessing it remotely

I did make sure that you can run a third party OS on the ugreen. So if needed I can do that.
It's more about consolidating my literal drawer of hard drives

12 in that drawer, 2 TB4 enclosures, 2 t7's. 3 10gbps m.2 enclosures, and the 8TB from my Intel laptop, 1TB from my new MBP, 1TB from my phone, and whatever the tablet holds ... Oh and dropping back down to free Google drive from the 2TB plan 💀

[brisk jolt]

can we get discord isnt a search engine here with the “why is there someone doing nas shit in my lga1954 leaks channel”

[warped mountain]

Nah, inflated purchase cost and inflated auction income is all part of the new hardware every 5 years calculation.

I really want the big Nvidia shield, but settled for the Temu version 💀💀.

[brisk eagle]

oh
hm

[devout ridge]

yeah

also it’s compressed, so you’d have to uncompress it to use it

[hoary hatch]

@edgy laurel what desk do you have

[edgy laurel]

the OG Ikea Galant L-desk, no longer sold

had it for like 13-14 years

[hoary hatch]

My roommate is shopping for a desk

And it's hard finding premium options that aren't $1400 standing desks

[edgy laurel]

Galants are all over FBM

at least near me. usually for free to $100 or so

large, built like a tank and (now) cheap

[cosmic gazelle]

just get a slab from uline lol

that’s what my family has always done

[vestal granite]

just get a flat door panel, put it on 2 sawhorses, and you already have a hole cut for cable management

[cosmic gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/jfk-clone-high-i-like-your-funny-words-magic-man-jack-black-gif-18659433

what is this “cablay management” you speak of

[vestal granite]

its where you put all of your cables in a rat nest out of view and tell people you can unplug stuff anytime you want

[edgy laurel]

the other secret for solid, large desks are kitchen tables

deep, too

[vestal granite]

thats true, you can even get a big ole stainless steel counter-height kitchen prep table

[cosmic gazelle]

you straight up aren’t finding better value than this

[vestal granite]

and you have a built in foot rest

foot shelf is what id call that

put a bunch of pillows n blanket n shit on that shelf then my feet can get all cozy on the foot shelf

[turbid locust]

How’d I just now find out BeQuiet makes mice lol

[vestal granite]

but not too many blankets or pillows because then im gonna FREAK OUT from my feet not being free

but i spent like $150 on each NSF stainless steel prep table for my kitchen and it was a pretty good move for the kitchen at least cause it adds so much counter space and stainless steel table is so easy to keep clean

and i could beat the fuck out of food and not worry about the table strength

[edgy laurel]

shit like this all over FBM. people mostly just want them gone since they take up so much room. less than $200 is common

[vestal granite]

didnt bring any tables in the move here though because i wanted to get all new stuffs to match my space properly

[vestal granite]

that is a fucking sick table if i had a pickup truck and a garage im getting that instantly

[edgy laurel]

yeah i kinda love it too lol

[steel stream]

wow that's nice

[vestal granite]

i want a garage just to put that table in it

[cosmic gazelle]

if i ever have the money im gonna find the case that has the smallest width while still accommodating my gpu, so I can put my case behind my monitors lol

[steel stream]

i like my desk, but thats a nice desk

[edgy laurel]

its a kitchen table but it'll work great as a desk

proof, the advertisement lol

[steel stream]

pretty sure that's the dimensions of my current desk

[vestal granite]

alternatively, embed your case halfway into the wall and have it roll out when you need to perform maintenance

[vestal granite]

its less cool now that i know its a premade table

[steel stream]

yeah 71x35 sounds right

[edgy laurel]

if you have a truck/big suv, fbm is a goldmine for cheap tables/desks that aren't shit

[steel stream]

I want a nice big butcher block desk in the future, that'll be mint

[vestal granite]

get a laundry-chute sized case and put your PC in the wall

[vestal granite]

i want a big butcher block table for my kitchen on wheels and i want to eat cheese and salami off of the butcher block table and olives

[steel stream]

that would be dope

feels very regal

[edgy laurel]

alright, back to giving A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms a go

[vestal granite]

and i want to demonstrate to everyone in a 4 block radius what tenderizing chicken means because these people ive seen them tenderize chicken they arent beating it to a pulp like youre supposed to, it should basically be shredded chicken that is held on by a thread of muscle fiber

so with that butcher block table i will pummel chicken into the fucking ground like im tamping soil for a driveway pour

[edgy laurel]

never change, pepe. never change

[steel stream]

i have not tenderized chicken at my apartment yet

[vestal granite]

i always feel bad (even in free-standing houses) when i tenderize meat loud as fuck on a shitty countertop cause it feels like a domestic disturbance

so i try to only do it on really solid surfaces

[steel stream]

when do you tenderize chicken?

[vestal granite]

you mean like time of day or

my rule growing up was that i will not disturb my neighbors unless it is between 12:00 and 7PM

so i keep that rule i think its a good rule, most places are like 10 -> 8 or something for noise or construction

[turbid locust]

Someone lmk when the superstrike is back in stock

[vestal granite]

ill let you know mac

[turbid locust]

thank you

[vestal granite]

i wont let him know i dont want him to buy that mouse

[turbid locust]

Oh

[vestal granite]

oh youre still here

[edgy laurel]

that was comedy

well done

[vestal granite]

one of these days im gonna write something, guilty, i swears it

[edgy laurel]

it'll be fantastic

that went into the archive

[turbid locust]

I’m becoming somewhat of a mouse junkie

I have 3 quite good gaming mice that I comfortably swap between

[vestal granite]

i dont like logitech receivers and i dont like their sensors because of the depth tracking being inarguably worse than steelseries

on account of it having no depth tracking

[turbid locust]

I don’t like Logitech either I just want to try the haptic stuff

Fully intend to return it

[vestal granite]

thats fair it does seem interesting to me

i feel like this is just the best marketing thing logitech has ever done

[steel stream]

I guess I phrased it wrong, but for what types of meals and dishes do you tenderize it

[turbid locust]

I don’t trust Logitech as a company anymore after having $300 worth of mice from them break

[steel stream]

BestBuy method!

[vestal granite]

usually when the chicken is breaded or when its in large pieces so like chicken francese, chicken parm, country fried steak stuff, chicken sammiches, etc

[steel stream]

ok yeah makes sense

[vestal granite]

it doesnt ever really hurt to tenderize chicken so i would just say do it wherever you can unless itll mess up the recipe (stuffed chicken breast type stuff you wouldnt)

[steel stream]

yuh

[turbid locust]

I just need Logitech to make a light gaming mouse that isn’t the superlight shape lmfao

The shape hasn’t changed in 6 years

[steel stream]

usually I just make chicken breast by butterflying it and calling it a day

[edgy laurel]

I prefered the shape of G703.. and proceeded to buy 3 of them after the first two broke

[turbid locust]

8 years if you include the g pro wireless

[edgy laurel]

same guts as the original g pro but in a right handed shape

[steel stream]

I think i've had my current superlight for maybe 2-3 years at this point? still no issues afaik

[turbid locust]

I don’t like asymmetrical mice

[turbid locust]

I had two break in 6 months back to back

[steel stream]

I can send you mine and see what happens

[turbid locust]

lol

frankly I don’t care for the shape anymore

[brisk jolt]

I used mine for like 6 months and passed it to my aunt lmao

[steel stream]

I quite like mine, but this is my first actual gaming mouse so i can't say too much

not enough experience with other things

[vestal granite]

i just found out that steelseries makes a modern mouse that isnt wired charging and uses batteries instead of micro-usb thats great i love that

i will swap back to steelseries once this mouse annoys me enough

[steel stream]

idk if i could go back to battery powered mice

[turbid locust]

def not that era is dead

dead when stuff like the Attack Shark R6 exists

[steel stream]

would only do it for like a work mouse or smth

[turbid locust]

I use a wired Dell OEM at work idgaf

[steel stream]

I've got some logitech BT which is goated

[vestal granite]

i feel like i have parkinsons when i use the dell oem mice that ive seen

cant fucking click on anything

[steel stream]

is that you michael j fox

[turbid locust]

I need like a docking station for my mice to keep em charged

[steel stream]

these bad boys rock

[turbid locust]

that’s the one

[steel stream]

they've got them at the engineering computer labs here

[vestal granite]

i was thinking you meant these

these SUCK

[steel stream]

yeah that looks terrible

a glossy mouse seems like a bad idea

shit would look like ass if you don't clean it regularly

[vestal granite]

you try to click and the movement of your index finger on the clicker moves the mouse away from what you were clicking because the weight distribution is all fucked up

[low sorrel]

what about the incott g23

[steel stream]

I got real sweaty hands, that would look like it was covered in fat after I used it

[turbid locust]

my hands get schweaty when I game so I wipe my mice religiously lol

[turbid locust]

never heard of it

[steel stream]

represent, truly a terrible problem

[low sorrel]

hotswap switches

[steel stream]

my hand sweat ruined the grip tape on my superlight

made it peel and fall apart

[edgy laurel]

dear lord, the intro of episode 2

[turbid locust]

hmm

[edgy laurel]

i cannot unsee this

[turbid locust]

I wanna try one of those cheaper Endgame Gear mice

like the XM2we

[steel stream]

I should watch, but I want to watch fallout season 2

[turbid locust]

I need to figure out my comfortable weight limit

[turbid locust]

I’ve been kinda spoiled by owning two sub 40g mice lol

[vestal granite]

my comfortable weight limit is 0.15kg

[turbid locust]

I think the G305 is about the max I could comfortably use

maybe a little less

[edgy laurel]

better off, unless you want this image seared into your memory

[grim fulcrum]

how big of a risk am i taking if i dont buy another 18tb right now

[steel stream]

we ball

[wraith steeple]

[edgy laurel]

damn thats a big box @shell void

dell sent one to wendell

[frank zealot]

Jesus

[shell void]

LA MONSTRA

i could imagine that being a good form factor for mr wendell, but he was an OG oled user

dude had like lg c8 or something

[edgy laurel]

yeah he's using it for multi-input

to replace an old 4K panel on the wall

[shell void]

oh holy multi pc

[frank zealot]

@civic reef
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1C7M4MCbg6/

Sodium and Potassium bullets

[edgy laurel]

he mentions 4x 1440p monitors in portrait, but even then this display has more horizontal resolution

If I was doing that setup, i wouldn't even use the hardware KVM functionality. More seamless with something like synergy or mouse without borders

mouse can just move between each input as if its all just one PC

[vestal granite]

this was hurting my brain cause of the orientation of everything

[low sorrel]

@merry stirrup wtf first time playing apex in like 6 years

why am i at the top

[vestal granite]

because it probly goes by your last performance

but then its like oh this guy hasnt played in a while lets put him up against brand new bot players so that he stays

skill-based matchmaking was only ever an algorithm to maximize user retention

[low sorrel]

i am getting shit on

[vestal granite]

the loading screen got you thinkin you was the shit but turns out you aint even the fart

[indigo walrus]

There's a non-zero 50% risk that a given storage device could fail at any time for any reason. 🤷 How much risk that means for you depends entirely on the value of the data you're storing on said storage device...

[indigo walrus]

Because you're just that good. I expect to see you in the champion squad.

[indigo walrus]

Dell should send one to me as well... for testing and verification purposes.

[livid flame]

Top tier pro-star Pubber. You the man Jerry, you are the man

[cosmic gazelle]

@turbid locust what would you set karhu utilization to on a fresh w11 install with 16gb total

[turbid locust]

wdym

[pure garnet]

use kguix instead and just set it to 95%

it'll handle the value allocation instead of memorizing a dumb number

[cosmic gazelle]

okay

[grim fulcrum]

its more or less expansion for me

there's some backups but mostly just linux ISOs

i can find a 18tb from china for about 200$

hc550 so its the same model that im currently running

the seagate currently in the array is the concerning one as it has quite some smart errors, but the other two is still good

either i put another parity in or expand the array by 18tb again

[merry stirrup]

alright yall my interview is tomorrow

[topaz veldt]

Nice glops

good luck

Doing IT schtuff?

[merry stirrup]

yah

tier 1 MSP, basically same stuff i was doing at my last job but not private

[pure garnet]

gl bro

[merry stirrup]

should hopefully have this in th ebag

job description was basically my resume

didnt have a ticket system at work tho so that'll be neat

nvl launch will in fact be mine

[topaz veldt]

CES 2027 they're saying

[merry stirrup]

gonna make me buy ryzen so im not bored

[merry stirrup]

so you have some form of lga 1700 yes?

i dont have extra DDR5, but since my KS works, i want to do something with it

[pure garnet]

yeah a few

[merry stirrup]

mkay

forgot im supposed to sell you a p620

[topaz veldt]

@low sorrel I did the harvester, this fucking guy kept looting my crab legs. Whatever, didn't say anything didn't complain.

BTW, can anyone of you can find a button to delete Windows.old in Windows 11?

[broken coyote]

right click press delete lol

[edgy laurel]

Its also available in Disk Cleanup as a "button"

if i'm understanding what you're asking

[supple wolf]

now you can't delete it

[broken coyote]

i can

[civic reef]

Why are CPUs getting so expensive?

12400Fs used to be $100

Now upto $150

[broken coyote]

uc

[supple wolf]

I have use 2 powershell command + delete then i can delete it

[broken coyote]

huh

[supple wolf]

latest canary channel version Windows 11

[edgy laurel]

If you aren't comfortable googling and trying out all the rescourses online for managing Windows.old, you probably shouldn't be running a pre-release operating system

[supple wolf]

because u only can delete a very small amount of file by previous methods

[supple wolf]

I am comfortable. but this time it really mads me

[broken coyote]

Use Sysinternals PsExec and run as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM?

[supple wolf]

Previously, i just use shift + delete

this time, i used it then i found that it still have 27 gb files which is not deleted

[edgy laurel]

use Disk Cleanup as previously suggested or just wipe and install a retail version of Windows.

[shell void]

what i really need is a 120v 2000W PSU

[supple wolf]

it did not show in disk cleanup

(i have a 120v 20a circuit in my bedroom)

[broken coyote]

u tried win safe mode?

maybe permission is bugged

[supple wolf]

https://www.wikihow.com/Delete-Windows.Old

I used the last method in this webpage

And i found that you cannot use RD as a fast way to delete files in powershell

[broken coyote]

try deleting it in Safe Mode (Win + R → msconfig → Boot → Safe boot → Minimal → OK → Reboot)

and then via disk cleanup and/or takeown

[supple wolf]

I have deleted it via my method

@edgy laurel another weird macOSism

I cannot adjust volume to the dac

[edgy laurel]

wouldn't that be by design if some sort or ASIO style communication is in use? As in there just a digital signal is being sent

[topaz veldt]

I mean.... 🤷‍♂️

but like... don't worky

apple supposed to be easy

[edgy laurel]

similar to exclusive mode in Windows

yeah but apple also has a stranglehold on the audio production scene, if there is one thing i'm sure they've got figured out its the audio processing chain

[topaz veldt]

they are so tuned up they won't let me change my volume lol

[edgy laurel]

ideally you wouldn't want OS level volume control interfering at all and have that all done at the amplifier level

ok yeah

[topaz veldt]

let me see

[topaz veldt]

A license to control my volume, oh shit

@edgy laurel when you see it

[hoary hatch]

Okay so I am very confused

There are 2 Ethernet ports in the walls of this new place, one on first floor, one on the second floor

The one on the first floor is a functional WAN connected to fibre ONT

The one on the second floor appears to be...dead?

[edgy laurel]

i'll be honest i'm not seeing it lol

[hoary hatch]

The landlord claims the second floor port was connected

[arctic bronze]

was it wired to be A and not B?

[hoary hatch]

Tell me how I can figure it out with this set of test equipment

[frank cypress]

whaaaaat surely you need 3000w

[arctic bronze]

well if they wired it to be type A you will need to have another type A wire to run it to the switch or else it wont work

[hoary hatch]

There is no switch

There is just a fibre box in the garage

[arctic bronze]

the router has a switch

[hoary hatch]

In supposed to plug the lan port of the router into the wall and do what exactly

[edgy laurel]

If all the cabling is home run to a single location, you just need to find the ends that correspond to each wall plug.

[devout ridge]

cutting it close on a 20a circuit

[arctic bronze]

yeah toners would make this much easier

[devout ridge]

code would only be 1920w max continuous load

[hoary hatch]

We've only located one WAN box

[topaz veldt]

look at mobo nvme writing... look at pump cover writing

[hoary hatch]

There's just a second mystery Ethernet port

[arctic bronze]

yeah bc of 80%

80% of 2400w

[devout ridge]

120*20=2,400*.8=1,920

[arctic bronze]

yup

[edgy laurel]

well yeah the board is inverted in that orientation. maybe the AIO logo can be flipped?

[topaz veldt]

So I ran the pump "rightside up" in that I ran it "upside down" -- matched to the board orientation. After a day, pump noise.

[arctic bronze]

bro, being able to get that in the next day is crazy lmao, it takes me at least 3 days to get my stuff in

[edgy laurel]

jeeze man, these "when you see it" things shouldn't need a backstory to figure out! 🤣

[hoary hatch]

@arctic bronze my guess is the different Ethernet ports in the house are hooked up to these boxes independently
One for ziply, one for Comcast

[topaz veldt]

just gotta use your noggin!

[hoary hatch]

Idk why they have 2

[topaz veldt]

upside down pump = noise, I would have thought it'd not matter

[hoary hatch]

Any millennials in the chat
Do cable TV boxes have coax connection and Ethernet connection?

[edgy laurel]

i didn't think it mattered

[topaz veldt]

Me either - everyone talks about how this BQ pump is silent, mine was most definitely not after like 12-24 hours

[edgy laurel]

at least not in an AIO

[arctic bronze]

Coax

[topaz veldt]

its prob fine in every orientation other than upside down

[arctic bronze]

Is the other end of that cable terminated

[hoary hatch]

There's a box that appears to have Ethernet with a security torx bit on it

My LTT screwdriver is at my old lease still

So the investigation is on hold

[arctic bronze]

Ah i see

[shell void]

i’ve only had four AIOs, but none of them had perceptibly silent pumps when set to 100%

but setting them to manual 50% fixes the problem and has no impact on performance

[topaz veldt]

this one is silent when not upside down

[arctic bronze]

Iv had 2, the first was not quiet and the new one is pretty quiet

[hoary hatch]

My guess is Ziply or Comcast, whomever came second, added their own Ethernet connection

[arctic bronze]

Maybe

[turbid locust]

Imagine

Literally every AIO I’ve owned is audible at 70%

Is this how we find out Mike has hearing loss

my LF3 is audible at 40% nowadays

[edgy laurel]

I still don't think i can hear the pump in my now nearly 5 year old EK360

the fans in that case I can hear as I realized i lost control of them moving to linux

and I never looked into how to manage fans plugged into an NZXT smart device v2 in linux

so 9 nzxt 120's just doing their own thing

[turbid locust]

[shell void]

the glossy clear plastic feels gross on my fingers

the lidar sensor+flash cutouts on the back also seem sloppy, and hairs sneak inside them

i’ve been running no case for a few days and i like it

the smooth rounded matte aluminum is more comfortable to hold than my 13 pro max was

[edgy laurel]

I took my phone out of the case yesterday for the first time since I got it. I still don't know how people use these phones naked

just by design it felt so unsteady keeping a grip on it, as nice as it is to use with no bezel

something weighty, slippery, and expensive isn't the kinda thing I wanna be carrying around without protection

[pure garnet]

my phone was cooler when i had no case on it but i dont wanna obliterate my phone at work

[shell void]

it’s different now

i don’t like holding my 13pm bare so i understand

17pm feels very different

it feels less premium, but it’s a lot more comfortable to hold

it’s a lot more rounded and feels a lot less slippery

[dawn oracle]

Still twitchy but ig will be

[teal orbit]

They will all shine eventually no matter what

[vestal granite]

you can be comfortable or you can be clean, never both.

[edgy laurel]

Your options are clean it, replace just the scroll wheel, or replace the mouse.

[vestal granite]

ok sometimes both

[reef lance]

I do that a lot too but you have to be careful, rubbing alcohol is bad for a lot of plastics and what not. I use to think you should clean a display with rubbing alcohol and I'm very fucking thankful I learned you're not supposed to do that before ever getting a nice display. It will fuck up the screen finish, especially gloss. I just figured rubber alcohol goes good with electronics must be what I should use to wipe down a screen, nope. This is the one case you're supposed to use fucking water. I miss the days of using Windex on my CRTs.

[dawn oracle]

Its pretty new mouse..

[teal orbit]

A lot of my cheap pbt keyvaps shined faster than abs funny enough, apparently the mixture makes it weaker

[dawn plover]

if the caps last a few extra years before getting shiny, I'll take it as a win

[edgy laurel]

doesn't change anything, why would it?

[vestal granite]

ive never had a keycap go shiny on me which is interesting because ive used a lot of different kinds of keycaps

[teal orbit]

Maybe you switch often enough to not wear out a single set?

[dawn oracle]

How do i even clean it? Try putting air in it? I dont even know how to change wheel either

[dawn plover]

I've definitely seen some really shiny older office keyboards (ABS)

[dawn oracle]

I thought it would be good for long time..thats why

[edgy laurel]

I can make ABS keycaps shiny in no time. PBT takes a little longer but i'm making progress on my current set

[dawn oracle]

it has half a year on it

[edgy laurel]

Anything can fail. You're aware of that, right?

[shell void]

i expect quarterly updates with photos of the wear on your keycaps similar to tim’s oled burn in videos

[dawn plover]

yeah mice should last for years, but doesn't mean it will

[teal orbit]

the doubleshot pbt keycaps on my rainy75 started shining in 2 months, gmk (abs) has been going like 8 months with barely perceptible shine

So quality may have an impact

[dawn oracle]

Yeah, whats good and cheap mouse? Rn i use Attack shark R1

[edgy laurel]

no idea other than G305

[reef lance]

I just took apart my keyboard (caps and switches) to get all the dust and shit out of it and wipe down the keycaps. I just wiped them off with Lysol wipes ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vestal granite]

define cheap

[dawn oracle]

Cheap...less then 50

[teal orbit]

Clorox wipes is an interesting one

[vestal granite]

steelseries rival 3 (gen 2), logitech g305

[reef lance]

Sorry I meant lysol

[dawn oracle]

thanks, ill check em out. Didnt know mouses can go bad in half a year lol.

[edgy laurel]

I do a deep clean at least one a year. All caps off, they get soaked in warm soapy water and individually scrubbed and left to dry. Then the keyboard itself gets full dusted and wiped down with alcohol around all the switches.

[vestal granite]

if you want wired these are alright, i use these as a backup mouse

[frank zealot]

yes, and to make it work the blades need to spin in opposite directions. Stacking two identical fans doesn't work at all

[teal orbit]

Additionally my stock gem80 keycaps have noticeable shine on the e, s, d keys after like 6 months-ish?

[vestal granite]

why you hitting esd keys so much

[teal orbit]

my least shined keycaps are somehow abs

[dawn oracle]

I use wireless, hate wire, its making it hard to play FPS games

[vestal granite]

you an esdf > wasd person?

[turbid locust]

I mean iso isn’t rubbing alcohol. I’ve never had any issues wiping my mouse, keyboard, etc. but yeah you’re right never use it on a display. My displays get a damp coffee filter

[reef lance]

Yeah unfortunately I'm out of rubbing alcohol at the moment. So I basically just used lysol wipes for the keycaps because I really just needed to get the dust off of them and then used a playing card and canned air to get anything else off

[teal orbit]

e is the most common letter and s/d are home row

[vestal granite]

@ grok put it in a bikini

is that what you wanted pepe

[teal orbit]

I think the pinky end of my hand doesn't permanently rest when typing and that might be why a doesn't have as much wear

[edgy laurel]

eh, kinda is. "rubbing alcohol" is just going to be iso and some level of water concentration.

[vestal granite]

what you guys know about 3wer

[vestal granite]

i dont know about it

[steel stream]

missing out

[vestal granite]

i use wasd for player 1 and then i use ijkl for player 2 at the same time and play browser games against myself to keep myself humble because i always lose when i play against myself

[outer basalt]

What do you guys think about AI art?

[steel stream]

no

[turbid locust]

word

[wise bear]

Overused.

[outer basalt]

...okay?

[edgy laurel]

shit, just like the last time you asked

[steel stream]

🤙

[outer basalt]

I went offline after I didn't get a response so I don't really know who replied if anyone did

[wise bear]

"what do you guys think about AI art"

is equivocal to

"Please yes-man me to justify me using AI tools to make money on art, taking away from actual artists"

[vestal granite]

the tools in photoshop are where i draw the line. you can use the "AI" tools in photoshop and ill be like okay thats fine cause that saves a lot of grunt work in editing

like background selection stuff thats all cool

[outer basalt]

I don't like ai image generators either I just was asking for thoughts and opinions 😭

[wise bear]

I've used ai like, twice to generate a fucking profile icon for a website. that's it

"Make me a cat flying a plane in a cartoony style, 256x256p"

[steel stream]

I've used AI to put my roommates in photos with certain people, that's about it

[vestal granite]

i see people in game development use it for placeholder icons for their UI elements which i think is an excellent use case

[outer basalt]

Yeah I think AI used in that way is the best, instead of just taking control and pumping out things it just assists the user with actions instead

[edgy laurel]

Telling a prompt what you want something to look like, or worse providing someone elses creative work to use as a base, then calling the result "art" is absolutely abhortent and deserves to be shat on.

IMO.

[vestal granite]

its not wrong, if you nuke the enemy you win

[reef lance]

https://tenor.com/view/gif-gif-19497435

[outer basalt]

Yeah I agree, I don't really know what's up with guys who call them AI artists honestly lol

[edgy laurel]

@shell void I wonder if this turns into a larger issue https://linustechtips.com/topic/1632773-5090-laptop-24gb-only-shows-16gb/

SKU adjustment without telling anyone? naa, couldn't be Nvidia

[outer basalt]

I think what makes art worth as much it does is the meaning behind it, who painted it, what's expression behind it, etc.

[edgy laurel]

that would be a scandal for sure. its gotta be some sorta mistake

[vestal granite]

how do you accidentally not include a gddr7 chip

[edgy laurel]

5090 Laptop should be a 24GB card

Yeah its GB203 but its advertised as 24GB

[pure garnet]

i send my sister random ai generated things from facebook messenger to annoy her

[reef lance]

Nah, Jensen the Great just decided to come in the night to repo a bit of your VRAM, it's in the ToS. Did you not read it?

[vestal granite]

i wonder if its like 4 4gbs or 8 2gbs or what the deal is with the gddr7

[edgy laurel]

Yeah I dunno. being a laptop we can't easily look at the PCB

wait, didn't GN teardown a laptop with a mobile 5090

[outer basalt]

I know modern art is seen kinda weird but the artists of those art just went in this direction because of cameras, before cams art was about replicating reality, after it became an way to express a feeling, museums actually value stuff based on background and what's the meaning of a painting instead of the "decorative" aspect of the painting (how it looks basically)

[outer basalt]

Mentioned modern art cuz I think it provides an framework for how art will be valued in the future as well with AI image generators

[edgy laurel]

Yes https://youtu.be/RmVpy6Vzpsc

[frank zealot]

hey guilty:
lololol

[edgy laurel]

too soon

[wise bear]

This irks me.

[frank zealot]

that's actually me pulling out a cane for that image.
from 2001:
https://www.overclockers.com/fan-stacking-myth-vs-reality/

[vestal granite]

so they couldve slapped a 5080 16gb in physically and then gave it 5090 vbios and it works because magic or something

[edgy laurel]

on to something

[steel stream]

that's good

[vestal granite]

cause 5080 mobile is 16gb and gb203

[frank zealot]

They really just need to use different naming for mobile gpu's.
They'll never match desktop, and it shouldn't sound like they do.

[edgy laurel]

yeah, though even that is so weird. Presumably these use different PCB's due to the VRAM configuration so I can't think of why there would be a mixup in the VBIOS flashing

[steel stream]

5080 desktop is 203 as well iirc

[edgy laurel]

but I guess stranger shit has happened

[outer basalt]

I'll get annoyed if same things were named differently like that lol

[steel stream]

yah 203

[frank zealot]

but they're not the same.
A mobile 5080 can't even pretend to keep up with a desktop 5080

[outer basalt]

I'm not talking about processing power, I'm talking about the core architecture and intent of it

[frank zealot]

intent?

Cuz there's already over a dozen (two?) cards that use this same architecture, all with different names.

[edgy laurel]

GB203 is in

[fringe vigil]

Hold up

[edgy laurel]

heyyyyy

[fringe vigil]

There’s only one hdmi in 4090?

[edgy laurel]

Depends on the model. I have 2

[fringe vigil]

I’m trying to connect my monitor aswell

But my hdmi is connected to my oled

[edgy laurel]

just use DP

[frank zealot]

too complicated, even though it's better

[fringe vigil]

Hmm yh okay

[vestal granite]

goes off line to QA or pcb inspection or something -> QA sees 16gb and autopilots brings it back to the wrong line if the laptop manufacturer has multiple performance tiers of same product. and the layout might be different for vram BUT theyd maybe want to unify as much production as possible so maybe on the 5080 model theres cooling for vram chips that arent there and it just fits for the sake of making it easier to assemble

[edgy laurel]

eh, depends

[frank zealot]

HDMI is for TVs, since it's an exceptional rarity for a TV to have DP

[vestal granite]

tldr past the PCB assembly the laptop assembly is probably all the same and maybe for flashing vbios and allat they rely on labels and someone fucked up their labels

[edgy laurel]

tl;dr so you think someone screwed up and there isn't some deception happening

[vestal granite]

well im just trying to find a universe where someone did fuck up and i think its possible but 5090 reading 16gb and still working i feel like is kind of weird considering the vbios mods u have to do to get custom vram amounts to work normally

[edgy laurel]

true

[shell void]

[edgy laurel]

I'm following that thread, just curious to see what happens

i suspect he won't get a proper explanation, just a replacement

[shell void]

it wouldn’t surprise me to see nvidia make a 5090m 16GB sku because of 3GB G7 supply shortages, but surely manufacturers would have to clarify that

[edgy laurel]

absolutley

if his listing had 24GB

[vestal granite]

do i want to eat hotdogs today guilty tell me tell me guilty do i want to eat hotdogs today

[edgy laurel]

replace with brats

[vestal granite]

hmmmm

[fringe vigil]

Why is there latency delay and missing icons on my oled monitor

But on my LG monitor it’s all there

[arctic bronze]

windows being windows

[arctic bronze]

bruh, its a bl 😭

[edgy laurel]

no idea. hard to troubleshoot from just that sentence over the internet. i was never 100% confident you had set it up correctly in the first place

like, you had a lot of settings that would have been grayed out if you were truly in PC mode

[fringe vigil]

Bro

My monitor is connected to dp, works great but both my monitor and oled is on

But there’s only the desktop screen and no icons on my oled

But my lg monitor it’s all working

[edgy laurel]

because the other monitor probably became the primary

just change it back.., same place you arrange them

[fringe vigil]

Okay

[edgy laurel]

right click desktop > Display settings

[arctic bronze]

have you tried just rebooting the pc?

like a full power cycle

[edgy laurel]

is my work setup cursed

[arctic bronze]

bro has the shaft setup

[edgy laurel]

1 is the laptop itself, off to the side

i work on 3 and 2 primarily

[turbid locust]

I think my boss is about to have an aneurysm

I’ve shouted too many Fallout New Vegas voicelines today I guess

[fringe vigil]

Omg why isn’t my speakers connecting now

I put the port in my monitor

[edgy laurel]

what audio device is windows set to use

[fringe vigil]

Ahh uh

Yeah fixed

yess

get your snoozies

Still cursed

wtf is with the laptop stand covering a corner of the middle display

i hate it

I wanna cry now

[edgy laurel]

ehhhhh

thanks guilty you made a grown woman cry

[edgy laurel]

the laptop stand is ass, i just need a better one

The one thing I like about W11 is that I can manually adjust audio for each program that's outputting sound

[edgy laurel]

the one thing

everything else sucks

[topaz veldt]

macOS cannot even adjust volume at all

[civic reef]

Wait what

Are we on the same page here?
I mean the 0-100% slider in the corner after you press the speaker icon

[topaz veldt]

Right - that doesn't work in macOS if youu use a USB audio source that doesn't specifically have support

[shell void]

6090 48GB 2304GB/s
6080 24GB 1152GB/s
6070 18GB 864GB/s

[civic reef]

Isn't that what the integrated audio driver is for

Providing basic control over audio no matter the specific device's drivers / software support

[edgy laurel]

its complicated

ideally you dont want to be doing digital volume control anyway

[fervent chasm]

Speaking of, is NVIDIA really going to go back a gen and produce it?

[topaz veldt]

but also sometimes you're not mastering dolby atmos movies and you just want to turn your music down

[fervent chasm]

It is nice that on Windows you dont have to rely on the app youre using to have a built in audio slider

[shell void]

i don’t see the point in producing last gen gen cards personally

[edgy laurel]

the same thing happens in Windows if you're using an ASIO driver

[fervent chasm]

Does the 50 series use different vram than 40? Maybe theres more supply/production of the vram 40 series uses

[shell void]

the rtx 5050 has both gddr6 (desktop) and gddr7 (mobile) variants

[vestal granite]

calling it right now, someday we're gonna get VRAM-less designs using all new super high tech technology ethernet to connect to the internet to lease vram from geforce now

[shell void]

the 5050 needs fewer g6 chips than the 3060 would and it outperforms it

idk why nvidia would keep making 3060s

[fervent chasm]

I was talking about 40 series

50 -> 40

[shell void]

50 series gpus can use gddr6 so it wouldn’t make sense to produce ada lovelace again either

blackwell is more die space efficient especially on the lower end gpus

i don’t think we’ll see any older gpus revived but i’m just making an educated guess

[pure garnet]

probably got a really good deal on the fab end since they still use 8nm for switch 2

[topaz veldt]

Hm

[fringe vigil]

60 9

Tee

[shell void]

12GB of GDDR6 costs more than GA106 xd

$8.50-16.00 for a single 1GB GDDR6 chip recently

[fervent chasm]

why does it say 8Gb? Is that the bandwidth for the chip?

[manic sigil]

Oh,2%,looks like just inflation

[shell void]

even if only half of the ~255 attempted GA106 cuts on a $5000 sammy wafer are adequate for a 3060 that’s still only $40/ea

and that’s assuming they pay the public $5000/wafer price and somehow only get 50% yield on a cut down sku with an old node

anyway the vram is more expensive than the gpu which is silly

[manic sigil]

Oh,ram yields that low

[cosmic gazelle]

the ud5h gets here in 30 minutes

we shall finally see if it works

[pure garnet]

@merry stirrup i’m at your favorite store

[cosmic gazelle]

hooters?

@pure garnet i don’t expect you to know the answer to this but i figured id ask. people online say best way to determine ddr3 frequency is just loosen primaries by 2 each and keep raising it until you crash. does that sound like a bad idea

[pure garnet]

ive never done it that way

i always just run mega loose timings to see what speed boots then tighten after

[cosmic gazelle]

isn’t that the same thing

[pure garnet]

at speeds that low probably

[odd sable]

8G(iga)b(it) capacity

fairly standard for ram ICs to be rated in bits, rather than bytes

they are commonly operated in parallel, so no one IC is responsible for a byte in memory

[topaz veldt]

My RAM ICs run at 8533 M/Ts

[reef lance]

I've thought about overclocking my ram but I just personally don't see a point to it. I don't feel like risking losing stability (and spending a bunch of time to test it) for a minimal performance increase. Maybe some day I'll get into it, I thought about it for awhile, but I'm just good for now. I'm fine with my 6600MT/s

[topaz veldt]

This is stock

[reef lance]

OH wait, really? I just hadn't seen a kit with such an odd number before

[merry stirrup]

BEST BUY

[topaz veldt]

🙂

[reef lance]

Fucking Mac Mini, lmao Okay, now it makes more sense.

I need to decide whether I want to get a Mac Mini or a Macbook later. I need to mess around with Mac OS.

[topaz veldt]

I have one of both

just for S&Gs really

[reef lance]

Yeah I might get both sometime, but I just mostly want to play around with some Mac OS stuff. I think I'm going to go with a Macbook just because it's self-contained, I don't have to use another display for it. Don't really feel like hooking it up to my TV, I can use my PC and the Macbook more easily that way with my current setup. I also like the idea of using it as a laptop for when I need one. Idk, we'll see. It will all depend on the prices and what I can find when I get a new job.

So right now it's one or the other

I've heard a lot of great shit about Mac Minis the past few years, though

[topaz veldt]

Mine is just on a USB switch and cabled to my monitor via USB-C so its the same setup my PCs are on

[reef lance]

Yeah I'm just not sure if I want to do that on my TV right now. We will see. I don't have a desk and monitor setup right now, unfortunately. Running everything off of my LG C3.
