I’d never buy a TN in 2024
I wouldn’t buy a TN in 2010, for that matter.

[valid sky]

xD

Still better than those 1366x768 monitors

I might pick CRTs over them xD

Most of 1366x768 monitors are made so cheaply

[valid sky]

I'd go either IPS or OLED now

Since IPS caught to VA in terms of delay

Its OLED > IPS > VA > TN

TN in 2024 feels pointless yeah

[full moon]

I like how 27” 4k is like $400 but then 27” 5k is $2000

Fuckin absurd

[valid sky]

1080p is 120$ xD

1440p is 200-300$

[full moon]

I’m not gonna replace a perfectly good 1440p panel with another 1440p panel
That’s teenager logic

[valid sky]

Well

Idk if i should go 4k tho xD

My 1440p is semi-broken

4k 144hz is a bit pricey

4k will relief my CPU a little

[glossy patrol]

I have a very cheap 1440p95 27" IPS
When I get a mega monitor, I'm going to turn it vertical as a secondary

[valid sky]

Thats fine

[glossy patrol]

So annoyed the 9800X3D can't even be pre-ordered it's sold out so hard 😭

It's the most important piece to my upgrade

[valid sky]

Ofc

7800x3D got scalped so bad

Whoever couldn't get it, he couldnt even later xD

[glossy patrol]

Just sucks as I've been waiting for ages and then boom

[valid sky]

9800x3D might face the same fate

Just hope it wont xD

[glossy patrol]

I can still buy a new GPU, PSU
But the rest has to wait due to CPU 😔

[valid sky]

I have a feeling that used 7800x3D and 9800x3D prices once ppl upgrade will he in the floor xD

PSU get 850-1000W and forget about it

Unless you wont go high end

[glossy patrol]

Yeah, I'm gonna get a 1000W 2021 RMx

For like £120

[valid sky]

Great

I had to upgrade my 650w to 850w

When i upgraded my GPU

I usually alway hunt the used market

If there is good deal i try to talk

If not, i just keep scrolling xD

[hexed citrus]

oh it will for the first weeks

afterwards once supply catches to demand it'll normalize

I'm waiting to see the numbers on the 9950X3D to decide if I get that or 9800X3D

[glossy patrol]

Overclockers says pre-ordered are done until 2025 💀

[hexed citrus]

sounds about right

[hexed citrus]

you can get RAM, mobo, storage now

doe you'll be looking at a paperweight until the CPU is in

[glossy patrol]

Can't test RAM/mobo so the 30-days would be over by the time I get the CPU

[hexed citrus]

fair enough

that's partly the reason why I buy all parts in one fell swoop

you get to test all parts if smth is wrong

[valid sky]

I usually do that to used stuff

Since most sellers offer operational-3 days warranty

Operational = once its ON, you are on your own

New stuff its better to test them ASAP (unless its bought locally)

At least here Local sellers offer 1-3 years warranty

One of the reasons i prefer to buy monitors locally

Because if i used Amazon, etc..... RMA is long process

[hexed citrus]

I will probably also swap the monitors as well

but after PC the chair is getting swapped first

[valid sky]

I forgot about my PC Chair xD

I was forced to buy cheap chair due to budget issues

I will have to swap that asap xD

[hexed citrus]

the thing you sit in the most, never cheap out on that

[valid sky]

I would get ergonomic office chair

[hexed citrus]

I'm thinking of getting a herman miller chair

we have them at the office and they're hella comfy

[valid sky]

I rocked Ikea chair for 5 years until it broke down

[valid sky]

They are expensive af, but worth it

[hexed citrus]

exactly

expensive af but your back and ass will thank you for it

[valid sky]

Ofc

Might just get one on 4 months installments

Interest free

I just dont want to buy it at once and live in poverty for month xD

[hexed citrus]

I'll probably buy it in one go

[valid sky]

I can always save for one

A lot of my gear needs upgrade, but priorities are different

Headset, Microphone, Mouse and Keyboard are low priority

[hexed citrus]

the credit card has 2 months grace period so I can easily buy it whole and then just repay it in 2 installments

[valid sky]

Chair is probably high priority

We have a service that divides purchased on 4 months here

No interests

Same price most of the time

Never used that myself

[hexed citrus]

Klarna, PayPal and others have that option as well

[valid sky]

But if office chairs are high priority ofc i will invest in that

Chair and monitor are currently high priority

The rest are either new or work fine

[full moon]

I’ve been using the same chair for 7 years
It’s a good chair

Also chair prices are insane nowadays

[valid sky]

Even the cheapest markers sell them for 79472978$

Which is ugh...m

Might just DIY my next chair xD

[hexed citrus]

ergonomics are important

[valid sky]

1996 GMC Yukon Seat on a good base

Ppl do 24 hours rides on those MFs

[valid sky]

Gaming Chairs = no ergonomic and no good price xD

Gimmicky af

[hexed citrus]

p much

[valid sky]

There is local company that make good gaming chairs which are comfy af

But it comes at price too xD

Wouldn't pay 200$+ for a gaming chair tho

Ik some ppl who paid 600$ on one and regretted it

At 600$ i can get a 1996 Yukon Seat + base

And sleep on it if i want xD

For now, my priorities are Chair and Monitor

Then comes Keyboard, Mouse, Microphone and Audiophile headphones (which requires DAC/AMP)

The rest is ok

Idh all that cash go upgrade all that at once xD

[full moon]

If I’m going to spend a lot of money on a new office chair it’s just going to be a Herman Miller

[valid sky]

Ooooof

1000$+ chairs

[hexed citrus]

p much

[full moon]

Oh no no no you don’t buy them new

You let an office do that for you

And then buy them used when they go out of business

For 1/10th the price

[glossy patrol]

My chair was £80 from Amazon two years ago
I find it plenty even though I know it's not good
I never think to myself "oh this is a bit uncomfortable"

[hexed citrus]

not everyone lives in the US

[crystal sonnet]

Bros I'm having the fearful nvlddmkm.sys crash

Does this mean I need to start looking for a new graphics card?

[valid sky]

If it happened once

Ignore it until it happens again

[glossy patrol]

If it happens again, wipe drivers

[crystal sonnet]

already did

still hapens

even when I'm reinstalling with the studio driver

[glossy patrol]

Wiped with DDU?

[crystal sonnet]

bro the crash is very random.

Sometimes I get it in less than 10 minutes.

other times it can happen as long as 5 hours of play

[crystal sonnet]

Yep

[glossy patrol]

Hmm
Tried an older driver?

Like from a month ago

[crystal sonnet]

tried so yea, current iirc is 566, I tried 545

[hexed citrus]

also check if the GPU itself is okay

fans spinning, heatsink not clogged, board not damaged, PSU connector not melted

[crystal sonnet]

fan is dead, so I strapped a case fan laying around running around 1000 rpm.

temps are also fine, never go beyond 65-70 during game

[valid sky]

Thats not ignoreable

I clearly underestimated Xeon CPUs

Ik single core performance is shit

The CPU itself aint bad, but the marketing behind it ugh.....

[hexed citrus]

that's an ancient CPU

[valid sky]

Ik

The only advantage is its price and multi core performance for it

Finding good motherboard for it is challenging

Most mobos out there throttle it to 30-100w

Used costs like x20 times the price of the CPU xD

[glossy patrol]

Old motherboards are always worse than the CPUs themselves

[glossy patrol]

Guessing that happened way before this issue?

[valid sky]

The mobo that Xeon uses is Frankenstein mobo

Between X99 and H81

Luckily it was giving it full power

[valid sky]

You tried DDU, Reseating GPU, no overheating issue

When it works, is there coil whine sound?

[crystal sonnet]

yeap, already ran for 3 years without issue before

[crystal sonnet]

nop

[glossy patrol]

Whack. Outside of nuking Windows, it does look like it'd be a new GPU

Unless you have another system to test in

[crystal sonnet]

Guess I'll try to put in a friend's system to test it

[full moon]

wow thank for telling me how would I have ever known this information if you hadn't told me in the most smarmy condescending manner possible truly I didn't know that before now

[hexed citrus]

you're utmost welcome

[grizzled panther]

I realized that not everyone lives in the US when a $5 Steam Controller costed almost $600 (yes, 600, not 60) for someone else, somewhere in South America.

I still remember my GTX 1050 Ti case aswell. The GTX 1050 Ti was never near being a high end GPU, however it's still being sold like it's high end in my area. When I bought it, I paid the GTX 1080 price, pretty much.

[white obsidian]

framework 13 arrived. way early.

... waiting on memory and storage nao

[crystal sonnet]

wow, I found the top of the line 7000 series Threadripper sold at a price that you can buy a BYD EV, brand new

in my area

[full moon]

100% Brazil

[valid sky]

It was like this before in Saudi Arabia, until we got proper retailers

Some stuff are being sold at or near MSRP

GPUs are at least 10-15% over MSRP

Local shops are ripoff

GT 730 being sold NEW for 60$ wtf

i got it used with 500GB HDD for 20$ xD

At the end, my "broken" GTX 960 ended up working 🙂

Just crashing if it runs at stock core

[full moon]

If you want a real laugh, go look at top selling CPUs and GPUs on Amazon India

[valid sky]

CPU looks fine

But GPU tf

Old generation CPUs blending in the middle of normal CPUs xD

[valid sky]

CPU listing is tolerable, but GPU tf

Also so many unrelevant items

[full moon]

Saar

[valid sky]

Checked Saudi listing too, its expected af

Indian isnt xD

[grizzled panther]

I checked some prices and here's what I got...

(Prices in USD)
GTX 1050 Ti: $500
RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB: Over $1000
Ryzen 9 9950X: Over $3000
RTX 4090: Over $4000

No comment, honestly.

[full moon]

in comparison, here in Canada (converted to USD)
9950X: US$694
4060 Ti: US$480
4090: US$1956
1050 Ti: US$286

[valid sky]

And i thought prices in Saudi Arabia are outrageous

Converted from SAR to USD

9950x = 790$
4060 Ti = 485$
4090 = 2200$
1050Ti = 65$

Those are the cheapest prices

That 1050Ti is that cheap because its Chinese brand

GT 730 = 24$

[crystal sonnet]

Found a used one. Converted this is aaround $220 ish

[full moon]

Bro those are like C$400 used here

[crystal sonnet]

meanwhile the CPU I wanted is worth one month of my paycheck (this is around $350-ish, which is MSRP, but you know, considering the currency value in our economy)

Oh wait fuq that's still way above American MSRP

[crystal sonnet]

Yeah, this is a steal.
The store who is selling is also the same one I bought my 4790 bundle for 100 buck last year

120 plus RAM and shipping

[full moon]

I’ve saved up for dumber stuff

[valid sky]

Here around 250-300 USD used too ≈ (1000-1200 SAR)

400 USD (1500 SAR) is the RX 6800 range

[crystal sonnet]

btw, other shops listed the RX 6700 XT at around the same price Vordea mentioned.
I figure this is because they bought it in bulk or something then resell it after QC and did minor service like repasting

[valid sky]

I usually buy stuff used at below average prices

[valid sky]

Nice

[crystal sonnet]

like I can find the same Sapphire Nitro but an RX 580 for less than 100

[valid sky]

Sometimes they are mining used

If so, you will need to do further investigation

Where they undervolted and underclocked and used in cool environment

If so, buy it

Otherwise skip

I used mining GPU for 2.5 years without issues

[crystal sonnet]

iirc RDNA2s are way past the mining craze.
already asked the shop and they said it's a mix between mining and regular office uses.
This RX 6700 seems to be from mining

[valid sky]

If mining was done correctly and clocks are stable, sure its good deal

Especially memory didnt get overclocked / ran at stock for long time

RX 6000 series memory controller is quite sensitive

Maybe not RX 6950 XT

idk about the other 50 revisions controllers

[glossy patrol]

I wouldn't bother with the 9600X

Go 7000

Sadly not in the UK, but waiting for a review on this monitor
Wonder how it's so cheap with such a spec - where has it cut corners?

[hexed citrus]

curved
🤮

[glossy patrol]

Kinda hard to find non-curved at that size

I've never tried a curve but my next will most likely have a shallow one, so we'll see

[hexed citrus]

curved displays have a very specific viewing distance you have to be at

[white obsidian]

On the new system, waydroid is working pretty good. Can notice a lot more details in the art for sure

[valid sky]

Its available in Amazon SA

[valid sky]

There is flat 1440p 240Hz version of it

2684 SAR ≈ 716 USD

[glossy patrol]

That's not UK though 😔

[acoustic zealot]

Guys, I was just wondering. Is the global and JP ver of Azur Lane completely uncensored or are we censored?

Or is it just for CN that it's censored?

[grizzled panther]

EN and JP versions are the uncensored versions if you want to call them that way. CN version has more censorship.
Both EN and JP still have to comply with the App Store and Play Store policies. And this server has to comply with Discord's more strict policies aswell, which is why some skins are not allowed to be published here.

[acoustic zealot]

If I want to call it that way? So they're a bit censored?

Like is there a version that's even more unhinged then the one in global play store?

[grizzled panther]

If they're censored or not, I don't know. That is something only the developer would know. Maybe the game is exactly as they want it, or maybe they wish that the App Store and Play Store had less restrictions.

Azur Lane is limited by the App Store and Play Store. This is certain. Now, if the game is censored or not, that's hard to tell as we don't know how Manjuu imagines a perfect Azur Lane.

[acoustic zealot]

Aight, thanks for the answer bro

[acoustic zealot]

Also, there are some skins we can't send in DC? Is there a list?

[grizzled panther]

Yes, #rules message

However I don't know if the list is updated. In any case you should contact the red people on the right if you're not sure.

[acoustic zealot]

Aight, thanks

[valid sky]

Azur Lane aint available in Saudi store

I tried to make IG Purchase (because i have 50$ Voucher which is only valid in Saudi Arabia) i couldn't

My Saudi VISA card worked tho when i bought it via my US account xD

Not all Saudi VISAs accept US Stores

[full moon]

Chinese giant TCL has officially begun mass production of inkjet-printed OLED displays.
wot in tarnation

Too bad they're only 22" 4K

[ashen zodiac]

Any of these worth its price?

Canadian dollars btw

[hexed citrus]

the pro 13 inch 4th gen goes usually for 550$ USD

[ashen zodiac]

Other random shit

I'm considering the Thinkpad and Thinkstation

[hexed citrus]

you buying from a wholesale or smth?

[ashen zodiac]

The Thinkpad T14s is the one I got for work that I had to return, I have an X1 Carbon now.
The Thinkstation has specs for $250 CAD lol

I work at a school

They're selling off some old inventory

[hexed citrus]

uuuuuu

[ashen zodiac]

Basically stuff they replaced

I just know nothing about the Quadro P2200

Other than its a 75W card with 5GB GDDR5 lol

But I have a spare 1060 lol

[hexed citrus]

it's a okay-ish card

I run its older brother in a server for plex lol

[ashen zodiac]

The fact that it comes with an i9 is hilarious to me

and 1TB SSD

It's not guaranteed btw. Basically everyone enters to see if they get picked to buy it off the school at these prices

[hexed citrus]

the newer i9s are a joke

[ashen zodiac]

I think I gotta figure out the PSU spec

theres a 300W and 500W option

I assume its 500W because its got the GPU

[full moon]

It runs about as well as an RX570 for video games

[ashen zodiac]

heres my issue with RX cards

Idk where they rank in relation with eachother

With Nvidia it's obvious cause bigger number

[hexed citrus]

even there it's not rlly clear with Quadros

[hexed citrus]

Integrated Flight Test 6 launch T -10 min

[white obsidian]

Oooh flight 7 has the updated pizza slot

[hexed citrus]

I'm upgrading from 1080 Ti to 5090

Nvidia and AMD are on a race through time to see who can make the most confusing product model numbers

[ashen zodiac]

I mean with the basic gpus

its obvious with nvidia

with amd, BRO WHY IS 1 3 DIGITS AND 1 4 DIGITS

[full moon]

Except it’s not

[ashen zodiac]

AND WHY IS THE 3 DIGIT ONE GOOD THAN THE 4 DIGITS

[full moon]

Cause the 3 digit ones are a lot older. Think of it as being 0570.

[ashen zodiac]

yea but like

why did it go from 600

to 6000

[full moon]

Product number inflation, nvidia went back to 4 digit, so AMD did too.

[ashen zodiac]

Nvidia at least I understand
You got basic bitch 5XXX
Slightly better 5XXX Ti
Wherever the fuck a Super goes
Wherever the fuck a Ti Super goes
5XXX but the 2nd x is 1 digit higher.

[full moon]

Here’s one for you: 1600 series nvidia were lower end than 1000 series nvidia.

[ashen zodiac]

16 series does not exist to me

👍

[full moon]

16 series is newer than an RX 570.

They both do this all the fucking time since they’re almost as bad as the USB IF at naming stuff so I just use https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/ to get a general idea of where the card falls in performance and look closer if needed

Absolutely don’t look at just model numbers to determine performance

[white obsidian]

also 'Ryzen AI 300'

[full moon]

Look USB wins “worst naming scheme” award all years

[valid sky]

Well, good luck explaining that to non-tech savvy ppl xD

They will be like

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-star-spongebob-squarepants-wow-mindblown-gif-13169052

[full moon]

The funniest part is they’re all identical

From USB 3 onwards

[valid sky]

Yeah, USB1>USB3 was straightforward

After USB 3......

It became confusing

[grizzled panther]

NVIDIA probably won this the moment they decided to make the RTX 3050 6GB, successfully downgrading the old RTX 3050 8GB in every way they could and making the average non-tech person say "wow, an RTX card at an affordable price!"

[valid sky]

RTX 3050 6GB is as lame as GTX 1060 3GB

Even 8G at MSRP didnt make that much of sense

If someone has low budget, i dont ever recommend the 3050 6GB or even 8GB at its current price

[grizzled panther]

Pretty much.

[valid sky]

Also AMD GPUs prices here are inflated for no reason....

Also some ppl are disgusted from used stuff

In some countries where its gamble to buy used i understand

I just checked prices again

Its messed up

RTX 4060Ti 8G is cheaper than RX 7600 XT 16GB....

On average 7700 xt is same price as 4060Ti 16GB

[crystal sonnet]

strike that it's 500 quid brand new

[glossy patrol]

Yeah man it's awful
Especially when you're trying to explain or find out dock compatibility

[hexed citrus]

probably because they don't sell much

so the little stock they have is inflated to make higher margins

[valid sky]

Probably yeah

But they maintain their aftersell prices very well

Lets compare RX 6750 XT vs 3060Ti

RX 6750 XT New = 350-400$, Used = 250-300$

RTX 3060Ti = 400-450$ New, Used = 180-230$

AMD GPUs here dont lose value in the used market

But NVIDIA is better priced (expect that 3060Ti)

If AMD GPU loses 100$ in value overtime, NVIDIA loses like 200$

At least here

3090 is the most card that lost value

From 2000$ all the way to 600$

500ish$ 3090 is findable

[valid sky]

Yeah, the headache comes when you are looking for specific type of compatibility

Since iOS 15, Apple releases security updates for a year for the previous version.

the article you linked even mentions the iOS 17 patch

[white obsidian]

just make sure that you've accounted for the latest zero days. And tbh, I don't run safari or apple photos

[full moon]

man I super don't care about 0-days

[full moon]

oh nice apparently video scrubbing doesn't work like it used to anymore on the iOS 18 Photos app meaning I literally can't update it then cause I use that feature at work

amazing

[unborn oxide]

oh my god it works thank you

[hexed citrus]

the PC build is now officially started

bought everything besides GPU and CPU since they're not out yet

[glossy patrol]

I've decided to go for a 7600X instead of waiting for a 9800X3D

[glossy patrol]

Still going to go with a 7900XT, unnecessarily expensive/board/cooler/ect

Will set me up for upgrading to whatever AM5 last supports

[hexed citrus]

I have to wait for the 9950X3D, since the 5090 is coming out with it give or take

[glossy patrol]

(Cooler is supposed to be in both)

Going to wait a few more days, then I will order the CPU, board, RAM, cooler
And then GPU/PSU can wait

Will probably go with the X870E purely due to aesthetic

Because the VRMS, ect, don't really matter, even if I am going to OC

[hexed citrus]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/66R6XR

got some rlly good deals on black friday

[glossy patrol]

Sadly no major deals here besides a 7900XT that's 20% off, and the boards which arew 20% off (about)

400 for 1000W is kinda yikes, even if Titanium

[hexed citrus]

titanium tax is real

PSUs for some reason are not that much on sale

[glossy patrol]

Might save my GPU for Christmas

[glossy patrol]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/alienware-aw3225qf

Temptation to buy for like £800 is huge

[full moon]

If I’m spending that much on a monitor I’m just getting this https://www.samsung.com/ca/monitors/high-resolution/viewfinity-s9-27-inch-ls27c900panxza/

[glossy patrol]

Quite different purpose

[glossy patrol]

Ordered a Ryzen 5 7600, a B650 Aorus Elite AX V2, and 2x16GB of G.Ski Z5 Neo

Am so so hyped

GPU, PSU will come later
CPU cooler I may hold off until I upgrade my CPU in the future, as it was originally for looks anyways

[glossy patrol]

Ark Survival Ascended 😭

[glossy patrol]

Anybody knowledgeable on the differences between the 2021 and 2024 RMx?

[full moon]

The good PSU reviewers from back in the day are all retired now so the only way to know would be to open them up and compare them
Likely nothing major

[full moon]

over a quarter of iPhone users buy the Pro Max
costs as much as a used car btw

[hexed citrus]

if only you could get a car for that kinda money

[full moon]

I could definitely get a used car for how much a 1TB Pro Max costs here

C$2500

it wouldn't be a very good one, but it would be a car

[hexed citrus]

here you're lucky to get a Soviet bucket of bolts

[full moon]

recently saw a 2003 Corolla for $900 actually
I can only imagine how horrible condition the engine and frame must be for it to be that cheap

[glossy patrol]

Yeah... Getting knowledge on PSUs sucks
I know both are great units, just that the 2021 is a tad cheaper, by £20
Even if there's no real difference, may just buy the newer 2024 for the sake of it

[full moon]

but hey, $900

[glossy patrol]

Also 🔥
First CPU that I've bought and that isn't a 2nd hand freebie

[hexed citrus]

the wait for the 50 series and the other X3D chips is painful

2 months away but it feels like eternity

[glossy patrol]

Rumours say that only one CCD has the 3D for the 9900/9950X

[full moon]

isn't that how they did it for the others

oh and if you want to overspend on a PSU, Seasonic and Noctua have a deal for you: https://www.techpowerup.com/329184/noctua-and-seasonic-introduce-ultra-quiet-1600w-power-supply

a mere US$570

[full moon]

god the TDP numbers for 50 series proves Pascal was truly the greatest generation of GPUs nvidia ever made
5070 Ti is 300W
1080 Ti was only 250W, and the 1080 a mere 180W
the numbers just keep getting higher, how are we back at Thermi levels again already

[glossy patrol]

Yeah but I believe the hope was that 9th Gen wouldn't be the same as IIRC the 7900X3D was fairly meh due to it Vs the 7800X3D

[full moon]

Kopite7 claims that the SKU is now listed with 300W power, which is supposedly 50W more than RTX 5070 and 100W less than RTX 5080.
5080 is 400 fucking watts
Thermi is back baby, burn baby burn disco inferno

[hexed citrus]

you mean Fermi?

[full moon]

he doesn't know the Thermi meme

smh

[hexed citrus]

it's a terrible pun I refuse to acknowledge

[full moon]

https://i.redd.it/lqk63so7d6ly.jpg this got posted literally all the time on /g/ when the 590 first came out

and of course, the famous review:

the man who cooked a meal on a GTX 480

[hexed citrus]

5090 is 600W btw

[hexed citrus]

seen that video, it was great

[full moon]

is the 5090 a dual die or single die card?

cause like, if it's a dual GPU card, 600W just isn't that impressive

Powercolour already did an insane Radeon 295 back in the day

was like 675W

[hexed citrus]

single die

[full moon]

okay that's more impressive

[hexed citrus]

next gen will literally have a dedicated AC plug lmao

[full moon]

I don't care how much AI Jensen promises me, I'm not upgrading my PSU

[glossy patrol]

295X2 was sexy

[hexed citrus]

could very much be, we'll see how it does, still coping that we'll get 3D vcache for both CCDs

either that or AMD made some eldritch wizardry to get better perf out of 9950X3D

[full moon]

Got my RAM now
It's just board... And Amazon are taking the piss

It's literally in the next town over
I chose Thursday delivery
They're delivering it on Friday
... Why???

[full moon]

Amazon will delay deliveries if there’s not enough things scheduled to go to your area to send a truck. They’ll also push deliveries forward for the same reason.

It's about bundling, again.

We 1999 again

[ashen zodiac]

So

I won 2 MacBook Airs, an iPad 8th Gen, an iMac 27"

So far

COME ON IPAD PRO

GIVE ME AN IPAD PRO

[hexed citrus]

not bad

[ashen zodiac]

Head of IT was like

"Yeah the Thinkstation was a popular item."

Never told him I have 6 people helping me try to win it.

I'm inflating those odds lol

[ashen zodiac]

Too many people wanted the iPad Mini so IT is trying to reclaim out 5th gens for work and upgrade to 6th gen.

[white obsidian]

got the framework running w/ the thunderbolt dock, driving 2x 4k monitors. It all works, including azur lane ..

man some of the older art is really bad at that resolution

[ashen zodiac]

Yea you see the shitty smoke effect from how it's rendered in an emulator

That's why I use Samsung Dex. Let me phone do all the heavy work instead of my laptop.

Welp. I didn't get the desktop... I think. I have to contact my coworkers to see who got it.

[glossy patrol]

Motherboard comes today

So excited

[full moon]

update to Fedora 41
suddenly Waydroid works perfectly fine
what the fuck

[glossy patrol]

I think my OC has been reducing my performance

I'm scoring less than a 4th Gen mobile i7 with my 6800K

[hexed citrus]

well obv

you're pushing more voltage and current through the circuit

eventually it'll degrade

[glossy patrol]

No, I mean reducing my performance Vs stock

[hexed citrus]

that's what I meant, the silicone will degrade and performance even at stock will be worse

[glossy patrol]

Hm, we'll see... Doing some benchmarks stock now

[hexed citrus]

my 8700K also is degraded

[glossy patrol]

Stock vs OC

[full moon]

Why would you ever rent a PC

[hexed citrus]

another one bites the dust

[glossy patrol]

Anybody able to help?
Ryzen 5 7600
B650 Aorus Elite AX V2
2x16GB Trident Z5 Neo
Latest BIOS (also tried older BIOS)

I'm constantly stuck on DRAM LED
I have tried moving both modules to different board slots, waiting as long as 25 minutes before determining that board slot + module is not working
When the system first turns on, the RAM flickers instantly for a few milliseconds, goes dark, and then starts displaying it's RGB
I have resocketed my CPU multiple times and checked for damage pins

Any idea on how I could narrow it down to RAM, CPU or board?
I have no other DDR5/AM5 components, but have ordered new RAM for hopefully tomorrow, a different kit

[hexed citrus]

I'd contact gigabyte at this point

worst case you'll need to RMA the board

[glossy patrol]

You think it's board, not RAM?

Or even CPU?

[hexed citrus]

could be

I'd also check the socket for bent pins

and the 7600 is supported from the very first BIOS

[glossy patrol]

I'm gonna buy a new PSU, RMx 1000W 2024

Also thinking about a new SSD. Any opinions on the SN850X?

[full moon]

Pretty much 99% of SSDs are the same and performance differences are pretty much dick waving contests

As long as it has DRAM for the page tables it’ll perform fine

[glossy patrol]

I know

[odd juniper]

Prob don't need to ask this but have you tried just putting one module in? Also have you checked the manual in what slots you've to put them?

Also make sure you seat the ram properly normally you hear a click if you put it in place.

[glossy patrol]

Yeah, I spent hours and did everything but no luck
I have a new RAM kit coming hopefully today
And then tomorrow I have a new PSU coming (will make testing either)
Just hoping it isn't the board but is either the RAM or CPU

[odd juniper]

you already cleared the cmos?
Also keep in mind your 7600 can only run support up to 5200mhz ram speed.
Your ram is 6000mhz?

I assume you dont have xmp or amd expo shit on?

[glossy patrol]

Haven't been able to get into the BIOS, so XMP/EXPO can't be enabled
Tried clearing CMOS, multiple BIOS flashes

[hexed citrus]

it's a AMD CPU, did you put in any sort of HPU for display?

[glossy patrol]

Yes

Tried iGPU and dGPU

[glossy patrol]

The fact it's 6000MHz shouldn't be the issue right...?

Like even my 6800K boots with memory way out of spec

[odd juniper]

amd cpus are way more sensitive to higher clockspeeds. Which is why there are such low limits. it'll prob work but there isnt a guarantee

also i checked the manual you've the ram in the wrong slot

@glossy patrol

[glossy patrol]

I don't think that should matter at all no?

[odd juniper]

it does. mobos are verysensitive about the ram slot order.

[glossy patrol]

Guess I'll give it another try...

[odd juniper]

too bad your mobo doesnt have a debug header. else you would get a debug code instead

[glossy patrol]

My X99-A has a post-code display
I hate just LEDs

[odd juniper]

true but it helps with troubleshooting

unfortunately they only put them on expensive boards kind of a bummer

[hexed citrus]

unless you set XMP no it shouldn't

[odd juniper]

he said he resetted the cmos so xmp shouldnt be on no

i bet its the ram placement.

[glossy patrol]

A tried a lot of the basic stuff so I doubt I missed that but we'll see

[glossy patrol]

@odd juniper I think you were right and it makes me angry

[odd juniper]

dw seen those issues before

most problems of pc's always comes down to ram placement

[glossy patrol]

I genuinely did not know it worked like that for the newest platform. Never seen that before

[odd juniper]

in older pc's it was true it didnt matter that much

with the newer ones are just way more sensitive to that kind of thing

i mean it might work in another slot, but most of the time the mobo just gives up

at least you know now for next time

[glossy patrol]

Definitely good to onow

Welp
Time to return the 32GB kit I ordered to test lmao

[odd juniper]

[glossy patrol]

I could keep it as it's around the same spec
But I don't need 64GB, and them mismatching will be weird

[odd juniper]

you cant mismatch with ddr5 anyways.

its way more sensitive to that and you would theoratically run in quad channel already with 2 sticks

so if you need 64 gb just get 1 64gb stick of 2x 32gb which must be a set.

[hexed citrus]

you mean kit

[odd juniper]

ye

[glossy patrol]

Enabled CSM, now can't get back into my BIOS
RIP

Can't boot from my M.2 NVMe for some reason though it detects it

[hexed citrus]

do not use CSM

[glossy patrol]

Welp

I thought I'd give it a shot due to it not being able to boot into my SSD

'Tis now stuck in a loop though

Y it not bootable despite having OS

[odd juniper]

you didnt just move your ssd from one pc to another right?

you've to reinstall windows because it has different drivers etc.

which means you've to backup the files that you want to keep on your ssd first

[hexed citrus]

reinstall, don't just move it over

because you'll be carrying all that bloat over from the old pc

[glossy patrol]

I was going to tomorrow

I just wanted to get into my system today

Guess I'm going to Win 11

(I mean that unironically)

[hexed citrus]

yeah

[odd juniper]

I mean there is not really another option except linux w10 isnt supported anymore

[hexed citrus]

for better or for worse win11 is what is nowadays recommended

[odd juniper]

except if you've 30 bucks

[glossy patrol]

Yeah
I would've gone to it before but I quite literally could not get round the TPM and CPU requirement

[odd juniper]

you can

[glossy patrol]

I couldn't

[odd juniper]

rufus can do that with installing the iso on the usb

[glossy patrol]

Tried Rufus, registry edits, the lot

Always got hung up on CPU

[hexed citrus]

they made it A LOT more difficult to bypass

[odd juniper]

weird. had no issues with 6700hq

the most annoying one is the windows account bypass nowadays

before i could just put a fake email and it owuld give up on asking

i just want a local account man

[glossy patrol]

oobe\bypassnro at the WiFi selection screen

[odd juniper]

ye i know how to still bypass it

[glossy patrol]

It's a lifesaver man

Oh and get this
You are stuck with @outlook or @hotmail if you don't bypass and don't have Pro. Pro allows other email domains

So dumb

[odd juniper]

i mean windows home is severely limited

[glossy patrol]

RIP the key I had from my 2014 Optiplex

[odd juniper]

i use Windows 11 Pro for Workstations basically the same as w11 pro but with some extra features.
Also had no app ads

[glossy patrol]

At work we're strictly Pro for obvious reasons

Except when clients go out and buy Home machines on their own accord and we're like

[odd juniper]

else you cant bind it to a domain

well if they buy something themselves its their issue.

[glossy patrol]

Can't do Bitlocker either

[glossy patrol]

As in they're supposed to go through us, but don't
So we have to get them to return the laptop or convert it to Pro
Which doing remotely is always annoying

[odd juniper]

[glossy patrol]

Setting up Win 10 machines remotely is so, so much easier man

Just because there's less to fuck up

[odd juniper]

I mean why not set it up and then send it?

instead of the other way around

seems tedious

[glossy patrol]

It depends on the situation really
For example, we have a couple clients in the US. Not too practical to send to us and then to them
Or we just don't have the time
Or it's already been set up and then sent to them, but then in the future it needs rebuilding

To us first is always best though

If it's high priority, we do see about heading out to do it in person

[odd juniper]

hmm for rebuilding i would assume to do a policy deployment. Do the laptops not talk to a domain controller of some sort?

[glossy patrol]

Some clients do have DCs set up, ect, others not

Some have InTune, others not

Is a bit of a mess in all honesty

[odd juniper]

does sound liek that yeah. but if they pay well for the extra work ig its fine...

[glossy patrol]

In an ideal world, DCs can fuck off and everything is InTune

I won't claim to be too knowledgeable, but I really hate setups where you have a 365 AD-synced DC, and then also have like, a server for remote apps, ect ect
It's such a headache when things go wrong

Mostly due to my own lack of training though

[odd juniper]

I mean in the beginning you always have to learn from issues you haven't encountered before. But you can also prevent them for next time most of the times just make sure when doing big changes always to have a backup at hand or get a second opinion, because you never know.

[glossy patrol]

Flashback to Friday where I nearly knocked out a site's internet but thankfully it was just one AP in a location where it was redundant anyways
Printers man. Always printers 😭

[odd juniper]

gladly ive to do nothing with that. only made a powershell script once because a printer spooler kept getting stuck because they were sending a invalid request that the driver didnt supported.
So the script would just run a check if the file was empty and just dump it and restart.
Since previously they would manually dump it and reboot it

[glossy patrol]

Sigh, can't even reinstall Windows at this rate
No POST LEDs, but it keeps waking my monitor and putting it to sleep in a cycle, with no actual video output

[odd juniper]

just reset the cmos

or pull the battery itself out for a minute

just dont boot it with the drive it'll prob fuck things up

since you havent reformatted/ cleaned it yet

[glossy patrol]

Nah, in terms of my old drive, it shows the drive as connected but not as a bootable device and would send me to BIOS
I plugged in my Win 11 USB with the media creation tool and now it's doing this

Reset CMOS again and am hoping it takes me to BIOS

This motherboard hates me

[odd juniper]

cant you jsut press f12 when its booting up?

and then select the usb

[glossy patrol]

No

That USB has somehow fucked up my board. Can't even get into BIOS after a CMOS reset

[vagrant holly]

My guy just send it to gigabyte

You tried everything you could've on your own without breaking something except for removing the cmos battery, and I don't think that's the ticket

Send it back

Eh actually you could just try reseating the battery first

If that doesn't work, reseat the ram too, but if it doesn't boot to bios, I would just send it back

Also the USB should be plugged into the mobo IO, not the case, in every instance I built a PC, case interface doesn't work on first boot

[glossy patrol]

90 mins later
Finally into the USB

[odd juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/clapping-シュポガキ-blue-archive-tachibana-hikari-gif-2461334025905362779

[glossy patrol]

Nevermind, can't install to my SSD as it's apparently MBR 😭

[odd juniper]

well since you didnt wipe it you cant no

you've to reformat it first which will mean WIPING YOUR DATA

back it up first

[glossy patrol]

No, I don't care about the drive's contents

[odd juniper]

ah ok

just click the format button then

and remove every partition of that disk

[glossy patrol]

Not letting me and 800GB of the drive is gone from the install media

Ugh

[odd juniper]

you can always wipe it with diskpart

just be sure its the correct dirve

[hexed citrus]

wipe it and put a GPT partition table

worst case get a Linux live boot USB and use the linux tools

those won't ask 2nd questions

[odd juniper]

[glossy patrol]

Yeah I might have to do the Linux

[odd juniper]

shift + f10

diskpart

[glossy patrol]

I feel like a genuine idiot when this is literally my job and I hate it

[glossy patrol]

Wouldn't open

[odd juniper]

cmd won't open?

[glossy patrol]

Nop

[odd juniper]

are you in the setup screen?

show me a photo at what step you're

[glossy patrol]

Where it lists your partitions and which to install into
I'm out of it now
Going to try re-entering it for the third time

[odd juniper]

when you're at the selectionscreen of the language etc you should already be able to open it

[glossy patrol]

Should sums up the last of my 48h

[odd juniper]

I mean lets just say it hasnt failed me yet

and ive done numerous of installations

[glossy patrol]

Just need to get back into the USB. Gimme a bit
Will try Diskpart again once in

[odd juniper]

after that just type list disks select the disk you need
then type "select disk" with the disknumber you want to wipe.
for example select disk 1
and then type clean. It'll remove **everything **on that disk.

[glossy patrol]

Indeed it does

[odd juniper]

there is clean all too, but thats more useful for hdd's since it'll overwrite data too so it becomes unrecoverable.

[full moon]

I'd only use clean all on an SSD if it didn't support secure erase

[odd juniper]

yeah not required in this use case

[glossy patrol]

Taking a break until tomorrow for obvious reasons. Am very flustered

I should also have a new SSD tomorrow too
I didn't need it, but... It was on a good sale so said fuck it

Went with that SN850X

Oh and PSU
Went with the RMx Shift

[hexed citrus]

not bad, I'm gonna probably go with a seasonic 1300W

[glossy patrol]

I wanted 1000W for sure. Corsair RMx is just what I know and you can't really go wrong with one. Why Shift? Wanted something a bit fancy TBH

I have had a rat's nest for years
A modular PSU is going to be a game-changer

How much are you looking to spend on that 1300W?

[odd juniper]

Have received fsp hydro ti pro 1000w yesterday

[glossy patrol]

Jesus

[hexed citrus]

550$

@versed blade fuck them unit tests

such a pain in the ass to write

[ashen zodiac]

lol got a 2nd ipad gen 8

[glossy patrol]

Tell me your secrets

Anybody here knowledgeable on doorbells?

[white obsidian]

Linux is pretty usable these days, and amusungly, the soft tpm in QEMU works just fine even on an unsupported CPU

Never going W11 here, at least not outside of something sandboxed or a remote terminal. Needing to fight the OS vendor just to have a clean install is crap.

[odd juniper]

wdym fighting the os vendor? you mean licensing?

[white obsidian]

I mean needing to decruft it, MS randomly adding 'recommendations' and whatnot. Screw all that.

[odd juniper]

i use windows 11 pro for workstations so i dont have that issue

[grizzled panther]

Microsoft has been doing that for decades but for some reason YouTubers make it sound like such a trend started with Windows 11.

[hexed citrus]

this is still relevant btw

[white obsidian]

heh not really, win10/11 works fine in qemu (as does arcgis).

[white obsidian]

eh last time I had to mess with it was about a decade ago, and the only reason why I need to mess with it now is that MS has decided that a perfectly good i7-7700k w/ TMP2 isn't compatible for some reason.

[hexed citrus]

so why would I subject to the torture that is getting Linux UI components to work together

[white obsidian]

what torture?

[hexed citrus]

when if I need windows then I'll just use windows

[white obsidian]

easy enough and heck, the alternative would be a M4 Mac Pro tbh

[hexed citrus]

not go through herculean leaps to get it working just so I have some moral grandstanding

[white obsidian]

... what herculean leaps?

everything worked pretty much out of the box.

[glossy patrol]

Thanks for those who suffered through my moaning yesterday. In Windows now and just installing my shit

I'll then clone my drive over to my new one when I have it

[grizzled panther]

How to play Azur Lane on Windows:

1. Install emulator
2. Download game
3. Play

How to play Azur Lane on Linux:

1. Install Waydroid and fail
2. Install Anbox and fail
3. Downgrade the kernel because a random person on YouTube said Waydroid would work if you downgraded the kernel
4. Learn that your OS is now unbootable because you downgraded the kernel wrong
5. Reinstall Linux
6. Learn that Waydroid doesn't work on NVIDIA GPUs
7. Sell your NVIDIA GPU
8. Buy AMD GPU
9. Install AMD GPU and Waydroid
10. Waydroid still won't work so you give up and try Genymotion
11. Genymotion gives horrible performance
12. Give up and decide to install Windows
13. Get Ventoy and make a bootable Windows USB
14. "A media driver your computer needs is missing" during Windows installation
15. sudo kill me

[ashen zodiac]

Every time someone tells me "Just use Linux" and then they show me the amount of work I have to do to fucking open a program or basic tasks like moving a file, I rather have my fucking being collected and sold than deal with that fucking shit.

[hexed citrus]

exactly

People that say otherwise are coping

[glossy patrol]

I used Rufus to make a USB but for some reason it installed Norton 360 when I connected WiFi 🤮

[white obsidian]

Ehhhh mine was just the same as windows, tbh.

[white obsidian]

you mean hit command, type in the first few letters of the program name, hit enter?

[ashen zodiac]

Now why would I do all that when I can just double click on an icon and oh look it's open.

[grizzled panther]

It can never be the same as Windows because Bluestacks and similar don't exist for Linux.
Your only options for Linux are Waydroid, Anbox, Genymotion or VirtualBox and none of these are as simple as Windows counterparts.

[ashen zodiac]

My 2nd gripe with Linux. The community is so full of themselves holy shit. lol

[white obsidian]

eh I hate running icons on desktop, I mean I can do it via the menu icons too.

[glossy patrol]

R5 7600 stock Vs 6800K OC'd Vs 6800K stock (just some dirty benchmarks, nothing technical, using R23)

[white obsidian]

nice jump

[full moon]

tf you mean it’s literally the same as Windows out of all the cope on here I just read this is the worst one

[ashen zodiac]

So if I wanted to play Star Rail, explain the processes of installing it and running it step by step.

[full moon]

Step 1: Use https://github.com/an-anime-team/the-honkers-railway-launcher
Step 2: There is no step 2 you’re done.

[ashen zodiac]

So I have to use sketchy third party launcher.

Gotcha

[full moon]

sketchy
literally all the code is available to read right there

Skill issue

Which is more than can be said of any Windows Android emulator

[ashen zodiac]

Then why is it saying don't name it before Hoyo fixes it?

[full moon]

Because some companies don’t like people playing games on unapproved platforms.

You’re very lucky Yostar doesn’t care

[ashen zodiac]

I mean I wouldn't trust any third party launchers

[white obsidian]

qoo ?

[ashen zodiac]

Wow didnt mention I'd have to install a bunch of other stuff too.

[full moon]

That’s not installing anything

So you don’t use emulators, then.

[ashen zodiac]

No. I stopped using emulators when I found out I can run Samsung Dex on PC.

[full moon]

I stopped using emulators when I found out I can use an emulator instead

Guh

[ashen zodiac]

I wouldn't call Samsung Dex an emulator.

[full moon]

https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-dex-support-ends-3504306/ btw discontinued

That step is in place for the weirdos who don’t already have Flatpak installed

[ashen zodiac]

Well I mean yeah, isn't Android coming out with that feature now?

The ability to use your phone on PC

Like how Samsung and Apple have been for a while now

[full moon]

Dunno, I don’t pay attention to stuff like that

[ashen zodiac]

Holy fuck this is gonna take forever to install

Do I dare use my main account and risk a ban or just start a new account

[glossy patrol]

May need a remount

[white obsidian]

yipes that's warm

[mental coyote]

Orly

[glossy patrol]

Indeed
Going to remount and hope it helps

[odd juniper]

You forgot to uncheck in the bios that the Mobo can install 3rd party apps for you

[full moon]

Our fucking BIOSes ship with Malware now?

[ashen zodiac]

Woooooooow.... No...

[odd juniper]

Since they include "Norton 360" in the softwarelist of gigabyte yeah

It's that or my man used the app center but no sane person uses that

[odd juniper]

That's still horribly expensive

[ashen zodiac]

but its... 600 off.

[odd juniper]

[ashen zodiac]

im just looking for a cheap ssd and some cheap fans tbh lol

[odd juniper]

Saw some 4080s get prices of 2200 and they were already "30%" off

[ashen zodiac]

hold up newegg, what are you selling?

[full moon]

tbh if I’m getting an 8TB SSD I’m getting a used enterprise drive not a new consumer one

[ashen zodiac]

nvm

its usb chargers

[odd juniper]

Just plug it into yourself

[ashen zodiac]

man i should rip out this 1 loud ass fan

holy fuck

[odd juniper]

No scam at all

[ashen zodiac]

its actually starting to get on my nerves

[odd juniper]

Laptop?

[ashen zodiac]

comp

its an old cheap amazon 120mm fan i got for some extra exhaust

and its loud as shit lol

[odd juniper]

That's what you get for going cheap

Maybe lower the speed

By setting a fan profile

[ashen zodiac]

wow i learned my lesson

buys shitty fans again

but with LGBT lights

[odd juniper]

Still has shitty noise and complains again

[ashen zodiac]

Why am I even searching for deals?

sorts lowest to highest price

[odd juniper]

[odd juniper]

If you find a cheap noctua get that. which you wont

[odd juniper]

The fuck is a sama

[ashen zodiac]

goes to reviews

1 star AVOID.
Pros: Cheap

[odd juniper]

Buys cheap shit,
pros cheap
cons it's shit

[ashen zodiac]

$17.99 for 1 fan

lol

how about no

[odd juniper]

I said you wouldn't find a cheap ver of that

Maybe be quiet or arctic have some

[ashen zodiac]

ok fuck it

i rather have no fan

than listen to this 1 fan whine

[odd juniper]

Just blow on it

Or

[ashen zodiac]

no its loud as shit

lol

[odd juniper]

Lower the speed

So it's not as loud

[ashen zodiac]

oh

its not even spinning lol

[odd juniper]

🤨

So that's not even making the sound?

Did you forget to plug it in?

[ashen zodiac]

nah it just

makes a lot of sound

cause its dying

[odd juniper]

So the bearing is fucked

[ashen zodiac]

btw its funny cause when i just went to look at it

the 3 front fans that come with the case

the bottom one wasnt spinning

manually spin that sucker and it goes

the 2 on the top
the cheap fans

The left one wasnt spinning, spin it a bit, it goes

[odd juniper]

What kind of abomination PC you've rime

[ashen zodiac]

The one on the right, the loud boi, spins slow and loud, also goes fast then slows down a lot, also doesnt spin that fast when you manually spin it

i think she dead

[odd juniper]

Prob dead motor

[ashen zodiac]

meh i dont really care

[odd juniper]

Or it doesn't get enough power

[ashen zodiac]

UGH FIIIIIIIINE I'LL LOOK UP THE MANUAL

[odd juniper]

Manual?

[ashen zodiac]

huh which one is system 4...

[odd juniper]

Should be on your mobo

[ashen zodiac]

btw the 3 on the front is like

[odd juniper]

Called like sys 4

[ashen zodiac]

daisy chained

bro it's under my table

i aint looking at it

let me get le manuel

[odd juniper]

What u can do too is go into the bios

[ashen zodiac]

system 4 is the upper fan

wtf

go faster

boi

[odd juniper]

And manually set it to max speed

And listen how fast it goes

[ashen zodiac]

brb

i need to see what i did

says here 4 is spinning at 100 rpm and thats my top fan lol

[odd juniper]

What you even need this many fans for? Do you've a big GPU?

[ashen zodiac]

i like it cool

its 72 degrees right now

idk

lol

[odd juniper]

On your CPU?

Assuming that's a idle temp

[ashen zodiac]

oh

sys fan 5 pump

is

my front fans

lol

yea lemme change that to 2

[odd juniper]

What CPU youve again?

🤨

[ashen zodiac]

3600

hmm...

[odd juniper]

So you've a watercooled 3600 that's running 72c on idle

That ain't right

Is your aio still working?

[ashen zodiac]

who said its water

lol

i just plugged the fans in wrong

[odd juniper]

You said you had something connected to the pump

[odd juniper]

SMH

Still high temps though

For idle

My younger brother has a 3800x and that runs at 40c on idle with the AMD stock cooler

[ashen zodiac]

ok yea the fan has some like

vibration issues

lol

i mean

im running nikke

btw the 3 system fans are dasiy chained cause the case came with it

[odd juniper]

I mean if the same fans are daisychained no prob

[odd juniper]

It's not that intensive right? It's a fucking mobile game. Also your CPU only has a tdp of 65w not like it can cook itself to begin with.

[ashen zodiac]

meh

not worried

fuck the other 2 fans i'll pull em out one day

[odd juniper]

Actually wondering how dusty your fans are

Since it's under the table

[ashen zodiac]

very

👍

the filter is clean. i just cleaned it out

i dont really need top exhaust tbh

I just did it cause I had fans from my old comp

[odd juniper]

I mean the 3600 doesn't need that much airflow as long as it isn't clogged.

So as long as you have one intake and one out you should be fine

[ashen zodiac]

aight fans are expensive

hope you choke computer

👍

[odd juniper]

[white obsidian]

Yeesh. 4gb was 300 bux and that wasn't even black friday

[glossy patrol]

That's a setting? Wtf

https://www.theregister.com/2024/12/02/windows_11_market_share/

Windows 11 is so good the marketshare dropped last month

[grizzled panther]

https://time.com/12854/microsoft-to-take-windows-xp-off-life-support-despite-its-29-market-share/
https://www.statista.com/chart/2322/market-share-of-desktop-operating-systems/

Same story. Different Windows version.
Linux market share also dropped by the way. Not that they can drop much since they are a single digit still.

[hexed citrus]

until Linux becomes less of a "you need to be proficient with a command line" and more of a "2 clicks and you're good to go" that won't change

[full moon]

arguably Linux doesn't need to change since it's not trying to be accessible to people who don't know how to fix their own issues

but it's still a lot better than it was when I first tried it nearly 25 years ago

[hexed citrus]

now that's some prime Linux elitism and gatekeeping if I ever saw any

[full moon]

You say gatekeeping like it's a bad thing.

It's not elitism either.
