technology

[severe falcon]

WHAT HELL YES

[tidal hill]

hybrid dual sim, similar to poco

but nokia 8.1 only launched in india

[severe falcon]

Wait no not dual sim i meant a seperate storage micro SD

[past bison]

almost all phones with dual sims lets you use a sd card instead if you arent using that second sim

[tidal hill]

^

[severe falcon]

Ohhhhhh

[tidal hill]

the second sim is the size of a microsd slot

[severe falcon]

See the last nokia i used was the lumia 635 and it just had a dedicated storage microSD slot

[tidal hill]

lumia... haven't heard that model name in years

[past bison]

last nokia i used was the lumia 1020, it only had a single sim slot and no sd card slot

[tidal hill]

well back then almost all android phones got micro sd slot

and a removeable back cover and battery!

[severe falcon]

Yeah but this was when nokia went windows

[tidal hill]

yeah they were like the most well known windows phone manufacturer

but windows phone users were already very rare

[severe falcon]

Yeah the appstore wasnt great but other than that i loved the OS

I think my most played game was in japanese and i had to guess what it was saying

[tidal hill]

when i was 6 my mom used a nokia cell phone and i loved playing snake on it

[mental coyote]

Screwed part is: Metro design style works for a touchscreen form factor.
MS just didn't have enough shit out for the app ecosystem to click.

[severe falcon]

My mom had a nokia cell phone that looked like a landline handset

[tidal hill]

damn could you even call that a handphone lol

[mental coyote]

And they were already battling uphill vs. Droid/Apple

[severe falcon]

Like not a rotary but when you pick up the wireless landline handset, thats what the cell phone looked like

[tidal hill]

kek

[severe falcon]

Im looking at this nokia 7.1 and i think im in love

[tidal hill]

your 3T is better tho

[severe falcon]

I have a samsung note 5

[tidal hill]

honestly anyone who made a 3T purchase in 2016 and is still using it now made the most out of their money

[ember crest]

Hello

~ヾ(・ω・)

[tidal hill]

hello

shit i meant your 3T not his

[severe falcon]

I think the nokia 7.1 is better by a bit in almost every way

To my note 5

[tidal hill]

that price doe

[mental coyote]

Micronization ain't cheap.

[severe falcon]

Yeah price wise the nokia 7.1 is a little over half what the note 5 costed

[mental coyote]

Some of what's in phones now is damn near laptop-level specs.

[ember crest]

My 8 year old laptop is significantly worse in everyway except storage to every phone now

[severe falcon]

I mean half its processor is a raspberry pi 3, which i use AS a laptop

[ember crest]

aaaa tech moves too quickly

[tidal hill]

same

my phone runs GTA SA and my oldest laptop can't

[tame topaz]

tfw new tech comes out months after you bought the older gen

[severe falcon]

Lemme hook it up to a dvd drive and install homeworlds, play it in 60 fps

[severe falcon]

Anyone know if its possible to send a message over lan from a pc to a phone and having it show, without the phone needing a special app?

[tame topaz]

Ooh baby EK Vardar for dirt cheap

Would you recommend using it as a general purpose PC fan?

[austere monolith]

I drew loss lines in an applet

[subtle hawk]

@tame topaz yes

vardars are good fans

[tame topaz]

Even when not mounting on a rad? @subtle hawk

[subtle hawk]

ye

[tame topaz]

Yeet

[severe falcon]

those look so good

[tame topaz]

They do.

And they're on big big sale too

From $26.65 down to four bucks.

How can I pass that up?

[severe falcon]

4 each?

[tame topaz]

Yes.

[severe falcon]

whats the rpm?

[tame topaz]

26 each orginally too

500-2200

[severe falcon]

jeez i think i paid like 10 each for my glowy ones

[tame topaz]

Also Vardar?

Braided 4-pin, mmm

[severe falcon]

no mine arent vardar

i think they may be rosewill, either that or some random brand

its been like 6 years since i got them

[tame topaz]

Cool

Gotta admit, those look much doper than they did in photos

[subtle hawk]

@severe falcon 10?

[severe falcon]

$10

[subtle hawk]

I dropped 40 for each of my RGB fans

[severe falcon]

mine are just solid red glow

[subtle hawk]

mine are LL series fans

[severe falcon]

i would have to rip off the front of my case to see what mine are so idk

[subtle hawk]

fair enough

[severe falcon]

oh mine are rosewill i just looke up my order history on newegg

also apparently i got one for free(?)

cuz they are $10 but i paid 30

idk its newegg maybe there was some kind of sale or something

[brave anchor]

astro headset is very cool, but sad is my country have no supplier

[tame topaz]

Installation complete

Yeah I know the unside of my computer is like a jungle of cables

And as for that unsightly white cable, that'll have to do for now since I have no way of extending it currently

[subtle hawk]

@tame topaz wouldn't it be better to hook up the top fan to that header?

[tame topaz]

My 3 RGB fans are running off of a hub

[subtle hawk]

[tame topaz]

And there's only 1 4-pin connector in my whole mobo

The hub controls the RGB

I am considering a mobo upgrade in the future however

[subtle hawk]

that is that

B350?

[tame topaz]

AB350M-HDV.

As barebones as it can get.

[subtle hawk]

yeah B350 boards are very lackluster

[tame topaz]

But I only got it because, once again, it's up for dirt cheap (probably clearance)

But hey at least I'm firmly on Team Red now

[subtle hawk]

Team Blue/Green here

but I have a Team Red build coming up for gf

[tame topaz]

Red/Green.

And fuck I think I installed the top fan the wrong way

[tame topaz]

But still, I do see a slight improvement so that's nice

Gonna have to readjust later tonight

[brave anchor]

Hmm

[severe falcon]

team full red over here i bathe in the glow of satan

[flint bobcat]

has anyone worked with the SDL2 library for game dev

[severe falcon]

i have a little bit

but only basics

[flint bobcat]

oh

cause i need help

[severe falcon]

well i can see if i can help

[flint bobcat]

well her is the basis

my images duplicate every time and eats up my ram

i dont know if i need them to put it in the game loop

[severe falcon]

what do you mean by duplicate?

[flint bobcat]

You know how SDL_Textures are a pointer

[severe falcon]

yeah

[flint bobcat]

lemme open up my program

So SDL_RenderCopy just puts it onto the window

I put this function into the game loop

its probably why it duplicates this much. But i have a destroytexture

[severe falcon]

well lets go over it, where is optimizedImageLoad from?

[flint bobcat]

in this same class

the optimizedImage is in the .h file

oh wait nvm

[severe falcon]

well im thinking the destroy texture part isnt actually destroying it

[flint bobcat]

hmm

so i should just use the built in delete

[severe falcon]

can you send the code for the RenderCopy function?

well im just trying to see if the Destroy can even find the optimizedImageLoad AFTER it goes through RenderCopy, cuz if not its destroying a blank variable and then the variable is given the image

[flint bobcat]

@severe falcon rendercopy is a built in SDL2 function

[severe falcon]

ah

[flint bobcat]

lemme get the wiki up

https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_RenderCopy

[severe falcon]

yeah its just im not seeing how optimizedImageLoad is in the scope of the Destroy

[flint bobcat]

[severe falcon]

its been a while since ive done SDL2 but from just a basic programming standpoint these are some issues i see

[flint bobcat]

Its alright

[severe falcon]

i barely even see languages anymore, all the good ones seem to have similar syntax

[flint bobcat]

so with what you said. oIL does not get get initialized, so it is always a null variable

the function just returns it

[severe falcon]

well its probably initialized, since its not giving some kind of error, but i dont think its actually getting the image

[flint bobcat]

oh, its originally set to NULL

in my .h file, its originally set NULL

[severe falcon]

its a pointer right?

[flint bobcat]

yeah

[severe falcon]

ok so maybe add a line before render copy when you have oIL point to returnLoadedImage() and then just put oIL in where rLI() is in the rendercopy arguments

[flint bobcat]

like this?

[severe falcon]

yeah

try that and see if it fixes

[flint bobcat]

nope

didn't work

it actually made it worse

[severe falcon]

oof

so everything is working right, but its just using alot of ram?

[flint bobcat]

it starts at about 30mb usage, and goes up like 3mb per seconds or two

[severe falcon]

and it doesnt stop?

[flint bobcat]

it does seem like memleak

ye it doesnt stop, Fire

[severe falcon]

huh its def a memleak but the problem is where

[flint bobcat]

I do call the function in a while loop, because it needs to be re rendered after the screen clears

I know that when i put it outside of the while loop, it stops eating up ram

[severe falcon]

just that specific function?

[flint bobcat]

yeah image create function

what's valgrind

brb, gotta clean the house for 5 min

[severe falcon]

yeah i cant really see whats causing the original issue

cuz rendercopy is just copying the texture to the render target

[flint bobcat]

it probably is

[severe falcon]

that could be the case but it appears to be freeing the old image so idk

[flint bobcat]

returnLoadedImage does get called in the createImage function

[severe falcon]

maybe try to bypass returnLoadedImage and just put a hardcoded image in there?

[flint bobcat]

here is my class

[severe falcon]

well first get rid of my failed idea with oIL

[flint bobcat]

got it, removed

i see

so instead of using

because it loads every time

in the loop

[severe falcon]

do you have it limited to a certain fps or is it just going as fast as possible?

[flint bobcat]

fast as possible

its in a while loop

[severe falcon]

and how big is the image youre loading?

[flint bobcat]

size is 567 KB

for the image

wait

one more thing

[severe falcon]

but its freeing that image each time in the returnLoadedImage() though

[flint bobcat]

the DestroyTexture does clear memory

but at the same time

it loads up again

thats what causes more ram usage

i think its loading faster than it is clearing

[severe falcon]

yeah it might just be it cant free fast enough

cuz if its only going up like 3 MB/s then it would seem to only be doing 6 fps if the image isnt clearing

[flint bobcat]

yeah looks like i need to readjust loading image function and cap frame rate

[severe falcon]

actually i dont think it needs to repeatedly call rendercopy, if you can just redraw

[flint bobcat]

there is no redraw

i think

[severe falcon]

ooof

[flint bobcat]

rendercopy just puts it on the screen

[severe falcon]

yeah i think we are at the limit of my knowledge on SDL, i've been using just bufferedImage and pixel stuff with java for a while now

[flint bobcat]

yeah i use that in my loop

[severe falcon]

oh i was just gonna run a test but then i dont have SDL2 library, oof me

cuz i have a tutorial code sample that has renderclear, rendercopy, and renderpresent all in the main loop, and im wondering why the renderclear is there

if it flushes the buffer

yeah it says do not assume the previous contents of the buffer are still there between calls to renderpresent

[flint bobcat]

LOL

i put the loading function outside

and it takes 1gb of memory

@severe falcon

[severe falcon]

WHAT

[flint bobcat]

[severe falcon]

SOMEONE PIN THAT AS THE DEFINITION OF BUG FIXING

[flint bobcat]

which one

[severe falcon]

and its supposed to use like what 20 at the most?

[flint bobcat]

yep

i think maybe that SDL_DestroyTexture destroys the loaded image also

[severe falcon]

i mean i dont think we can mess it up further

so just remove the destroy part and see what it does

[flint bobcat]

The console literally said: "Error: Insufficient memory"

[severe falcon]

and its not in the loop correct?

[flint bobcat]

after that whole program ran

the loading image is outside of the loop

[severe falcon]

how much ram do you have?

[flint bobcat]

8gb

[severe falcon]

WHAT

[flint bobcat]

i think if you keep it running

it will just eat up all your ram

this is a good virus

[severe falcon]

its a better virus than Arma 3

[flint bobcat]

treis to create a vn

creates virus instead

[severe falcon]

is this what its for a vn?

[flint bobcat]

an azur lane vn

[severe falcon]

i dont even know anymore

[flint bobcat]

LOL

[severe falcon]

how have we broken this

i mean idk how far youve gotten but i know java and how to use buffered images soo if it comes down to sdl is cursed we can still fix it

[flint bobcat]

kek

well another fix i can do is

remove them from the loop

and remove geometry rendering

because the only reason i neededto render the images in the loop because the geometry has to refresh

I have windows :^)

[severe falcon]

inb4 my raspberry pi sets on fire from that

[flint bobcat]

[severe falcon]

OH CRAP I LEFT IT IN THE CAR BRBR

34ms delay is ~30fps

well 16.6666....

yeah i go with 17 when i do 60 for my stuff

just to be a weirdo

also my pi is now safe from the cold

[flint bobcat]

added delay

still takes up memory

but slower

i added the 6ms delay

maybe i'll just remove the geometry rendering

[severe falcon]

i have SDL on my rpi but i think if i tried your code, i would run out of ram before the window popped up

[flint bobcat]

lol

ok

it seems that the current code

i resetted everything

and i did piece by piece

with nothing, the program runs at 11mb ram

two image caps the program to 40mb ram

[severe falcon]

what is it doing

[flint bobcat]

don't know

[severe falcon]

"This is so sad, arduino, play despacito."
8-bit megalovania

this is how i feel about this entire ordeal

[flint bobcat]

is this fine

because i took it out of the loop

i guess rendering it non stop in the loop was the problem all along

[severe falcon]

well ive found that no matter how small my program is, it always takes at least 25% cpu

even idling

[flint bobcat]

alright

this was a nice convo

got it fixed

[severe falcon]

so its good now

as a reward, here is a picture of unlimited power in the form of two credit cards

[flint bobcat]

yep

arduino uno and pi3?

[severe falcon]

yes

[flint bobcat]

[severe falcon]

and if christmas goes well, ill have a 2nd uno and a bunch of sensor things

[flint bobcat]

i use my pi for pihole

ad blocking

[severe falcon]

i currently dont have a use for my uno since my pi is basically my programming center

[flint bobcat]

yeah, i only use my uno with mechanical stuff

[severe falcon]

except its network chip completely died so it has not seen the internet in about 2 years

and since the pi doesnt have a clock battery, the time is never correct

[flint bobcat]

rip

[severe falcon]

tfw rpi 4 is at phone level of power with 4GB

[flint bobcat]

nice results

[severe falcon]

if she was centered on the screen id believe that was an in-game screenshot

[flint bobcat]

i should do that

[severe falcon]

cuz they start centered and then move over once another char exists

[flint bobcat]

oh yeah

urright

thanks cyan

there we go

wait

isnt the name tag area darker

i need an ig sc

[severe falcon]

yes

its darker

its also a duller blue for the whole text box if you are trying to match the game

imma send a screenie in a sec

[flint bobcat]

hmm ok

i need that font also

[severe falcon]

its like arial but they have the weird "g"

calibri light maybe?

[flint bobcat]

hmm ok

ill try that one

[severe falcon]

im more used to the g being the other way

[flint bobcat]

it is calibri

[severe falcon]

what the one you are using?

[flint bobcat]

ebrimabd

some wierd font name

[severe falcon]

does calibri fix the letter spacing problem?

[flint bobcat]

ye

something like this

but i need to change the name color

[severe falcon]

need the rgb? cuz its 169,245,72

[flint bobcat]

for what

the green?

@severe falcon

[severe falcon]

yeah

[flint bobcat]

👌

[severe falcon]

probably gonna have to just guess the textbox colors though, since its a slight gradient

[flint bobcat]

nice

looks like i got the UI down

[severe falcon]

oooh

now you just need that kinkytime art to sell the game

[flint bobcat]

what is kinkytime

[severe falcon]

the lewd time with enterprise

[flint bobcat]

👀

sorry man, no nsfw in this vn

[severe falcon]

i figured

[languid saddle]

It's time to update to W10 fellas

[flint bobcat]

i like how 70% of what you said was not included in that picture

btw, is that wallpaper engine

[severe falcon]

im sticking with my win7 until they eventually break it for money

[languid saddle]

Y e a h

Also, Megumi Kato

[flint bobcat]

i do feel like downgrading to win7 cause win10 has a shit ton of unused crap taking my ram

[languid saddle]

I have to download it on .ISO format cuz my W7 is cracked af with RemoveWAT

[severe falcon]

yeah win7 doesnt have a bunch of background things eating ram

he says at 4GB usage

[languid saddle]

Chrome tho

Chrome is a thot

[severe falcon]

yeah its def the chrom e that i have open

[languid saddle]

Same

W10 has some pros tho

[past bison]

[severe falcon]

look at my barely alive computer

with its 12/16 GB of ram

[past bison]

i could install another 32gb of ram into my pc if wanted to but then i would also have to reduce the mhz from 2133mhz on my dominator sticks

[flint bobcat]

i removed chrome

fuk that shit

[severe falcon]

pretty sure im still using 1600mhz

and with one dead i think thats the highest i can go

why is DDR3 still so expensive

shouldnt it have just plummeted by now?

[past bison]

ddr3 is still in a quite high demand for certain types of devices

and i think both samsung and hynix have switched over all its manufactory from ddr3 to ddr4 now

[severe falcon]

its still $30 for a single 4GB of DDR3 1600

so imma just save up for a new system

and college

[languid saddle]

Just Internet Explorer

Waifu > Ram eater

[quaint granite]

more and more online game stores are released

discord just announced that they will let developers get 90%

even more than epic games

more competition to steam i guess

but then steam has regional pricing

and thats why i'm sticking with it

about the above

windows 10 is optimized greatly

but you might have to manually remove the bloat

then again I am working for microsoft so it might just have been my bias

[severe falcon]

THEY HAVE AN INSIDER TO GET US TO CONVERT TO W10

[languid saddle]

[quaint granite]

w10 is a great product

and it automatically get your drivers in order as well

that wasnt the case in w7

[languid saddle]

But W7 feels

Living in 2009 is great

[wooden geyser]

Does using vpn affect your downloaded games

[broken ivy]

All i know is that VPN is only affects the internet speed...

[mental coyote]

Not like you can't just VM a windows for most stuff. Main reason to dualboot anymore's games.

[quaint granite]

linux sucks if you want to play games tho

unless you are booting up windows

[mental coyote]

Folks want a pc for more than just games. And linux is sucking less on the gaming front, piece by piece.

[quaint granite]

linux
gaming

what

are you living in a mirror world or sth

pick a game on steam randomly

and 90% chances that you are not going to be able to play it on linux\

[mental coyote]

Proton is a thing. And you obviously didn't read where I distinctly said "piece by piece."

Hell. Go back even 3-5 years, and shit was considerably worse.

[languid saddle]

Alternative to sfc /scannow is using it but with a direction of a installed windows right? I'm having some problems recovering specific dlls

[chilly spire]

is anyone playing this game with razer phone

[tame topaz]

So...

Vardar + optimal fan setup = 4C of temp reduction.

Awesome stuff.

[severe falcon]

brushed dust away from vents
2C of temp reduction

[tame topaz]

oof

[tame topaz]

So yeah memtest86

[severe falcon]

what does memtest do?

[tame topaz]

A bootable utility specializing in testing RAM for errors and stability.

You're gonna need an USB for that

[rocky quiver]

https://www.memtest86.com/technical.htm#win @severe falcon

[severe falcon]

been a while since i booted from usb, does it need to be blank?

[tame topaz]

Yes, you'll need to burn the contents onto there

Change the boot order or just select the USB as boot device from BIOS

Be sure you're plugging the USB in from the mobo's back IO

[rocky quiver]

hammer F10, F11, F12 and Del while booting and hope one of them gets you into the quickboot menu

[tame topaz]

Or F2

[severe falcon]

yeah

[tame topaz]

The download package includes a burn utility so you don't have to download one

[rocky quiver]

Lenovo laptops and PCs sometimes also use Enter.. because why not

[tame topaz]

Also don't download Plus; Plus hasn't been updated for a long time

The utility runs a series of 13 tests, taking around 15 minutes or longer in my experience

4 times

(you can cancel at any point)

[severe falcon]

welp see you in like 20 min

[tame topaz]

Recommended you do all 4 passes since errors can crop up any time

But just do 1 if you don't have the time

[rocky quiver]

doing it on servers with half a TB of ram is a lot of fun [insert image of skeleton in server room here]

[tame topaz]

oof

[severe falcon]

well i stopped it early because i saw it only said i have 12 GB, however my BIOS, OS, and MSI Afterburner can all detect i have 16, so i dont think it can help

also it was only going to test 12 G

[tame topaz]

But then again you suspected that your other sticks are gonna die soon after too

So might as well do it just to be sure

[severe falcon]

well i mean just based on i got them all at the same time

no idea what the MTTF on ram is but i had to send 2 back when i first got the ram cuz one was dead in the package, and now another has died 5/6 years later

[tame topaz]

Damn

[severe falcon]

i might do some checking to see which stick is dead my bets on the one without its heatsink

[tame topaz]

Good idea

And oh you're rocking unmatching sticks? Huh.

[severe falcon]

no they are all the same

but i had to remove a heatsink cuz my previous CPU heatsink was too big

and i have no idea where it put the ram's heatsink

[tame topaz]

I can feel the struggle even if I never had a heatsink that big

[severe falcon]

well it wasnt that big, but the ram's heatsink isnt flush with the top, it goes over quite a bit

[tame topaz]

Huh.

[severe falcon]

although the CPU heatsink was basically an engine block with a fan

[tame topaz]

What kind? Also what CPU?

[severe falcon]

AMD FX-6300

lemme tey to find the heatsink

[tame topaz]

Still pretty surprised at just how many people are stil rocking FX

[severe falcon]

its a great lil processor

[tame topaz]

Well hey, Team Red all the same huh?

[severe falcon]

but my whole system is at its limit so im waiting to do an entire new build

limit meaning i cant get newer parts to work with mobo

[tame topaz]

Stuck, eh?

I get ya.

What are you aiming for currently?

[severe falcon]

i mean i wont have the money for a few years cuz college and everything, but basically excatly the same but in the current generation

so AMD cpu, 16GB ram, nvidia graphics

might swing for two graphics cards though

my PSU is ready for 2 possibly 3, so rn its just idling for this system

[tame topaz]

What GPU do you have right now?

[severe falcon]

its a crappy GTX 950

i usd to have beautiful jet engine dual ATI cards that worked so well

[tame topaz]

Blower cards have always looked cool

Too bad Nvidia axed it in their Founders Editions

[severe falcon]

and then they kept crashing warthunder, the only game i was playing at the time

[tame topaz]

Also just a sidenote but dual cards are getting rather unfavorable unless you're going for used

High costs (especially with the RTX cards) and all that

[severe falcon]

i think ill just go with 2 lower 10 series

[tame topaz]

Or go AMD

No bridge required and support even on lower end cards

We'll have to see how their next gen cards do first tho

[severe falcon]

amd kinda burned its own bridge though

cuz the reason i finally got nvidia is that one week before just cause 3 came out, they dropped support for my ati cards and then my PREORDERED JC3 would go at 4 fps when i could do ultra rocket league at 60

[tame topaz]

Oh wow that sucks

[severe falcon]

yeah

[tame topaz]

Also I really should have found out more about the used market before pulling the trigger on the GT 730

[severe falcon]

my cards were from 2010, but i have a 2009 nvidia card that can still get all its drivers straight from nvidia

[tame topaz]

Could've easily bought an used 750 for the same price back then

But I don't care much about that anymore since I have my new rig for a good while now

R3 2200G and 1060 3 gig... sounds like silky smooth 1080p60

[severe falcon]

also couldnt find exact heatsink but heres something closeish

[tame topaz]

Though I do have to say mobo is rather limiting.
But hey, it was on sale; who am I to complain

Damn that thing has beef

AMD space heater jokes intensify

Glad AMD is doing so much better in the heat department now

[severe falcon]

but my precious ati card are probably dead now, LOOK AT THEIR GLORY

[tame topaz]

Damn that looks fine

[severe falcon]

also that old 2010 card has better cooling than my 2016 950

80% fan speed was loud

[tame topaz]

oofers

[severe falcon]

like i could hear it through the case, through my headphones

meanwhile my 950 at 100% idk what its even doing

i have to throttle it so it doesnt kill the processor from heat bleed

[tame topaz]

What is even that model

[severe falcon]

look at this ugly nvdia card

oh the model for the ati card is a radeon hd 5870, but its from sapphire

[tame topaz]

PNY hm? Cool.

[severe falcon]

yeah pny should stick to memory

cuz it has not done super well

[tame topaz]

Mine is this thing right here

Has a backplate, which is pretty freaking sweet

[severe falcon]

oooh

i think mine has a backplate

[tame topaz]

Do have to feel bad for my cousin

Bought a system with a 950 weeks before 1050 came out

[severe falcon]

oof

[tame topaz]

Also a Xeon E3

Aight, Imma bail for the night, pretty damn late

[severe falcon]

cya

[flint bobcat]

I had to fukin nuke my Cortana

It’s so stupid how when I try to remove Cortana, Microsoft takes control and doesn’t allow you to delete it

[severe falcon]

yeah i kinda feel like it would benefit them more if they let the user have full control and then charge for having to fix their stupidity

"i accidently deleted cortana" "thatll be $159.99"

[flint bobcat]

I also found out that Cortana uses Cain

Like why

[severe falcon]

cain?

[flint bobcat]

why give that to cortana

that doesnt make sense

[flint bobcat]

[mental coyote]

Hell. Why does using a Microsoft account put yer bitlocker key on their servers?

[severe falcon]

tfw you have "100 Mbps" internet

[mental coyote]

Mmmm. Tasty Arch.

[subtle hawk]

The difference between Nvidia’s constant barrage of driver updates and AMD’s lack thereof is stunning

I have a Vega in my tower and a 1060 in my laptop and my laptop always offers a new update at least thrice a month

Whereas my Radeon GPU is relaxing

[mental coyote]

Depends on which OS. AMD's been releasing new AMDGPU versions regularly, Linux-side.

[severe falcon]

my radeons will never get another update to fix all the games it cant work with

[subtle hawk]

Only time a radeon update ever only did mostly good was when Vulkan wasn’t running well on DOOM 2016 and New Colossus until a few updates fixed the initialization

[subtle hawk]

I had to restart once for each update

even for major ones

what kind of potato do u ha- wait

are you dual booting by chance

oh good lord

how did you set up the dual boot

do you have 2 separate bootloaders in EFI

or one in EFI and one in MBR

that's the win 7 and xp way

it doesn't

ur windows boot manager is royally fucked

that's why it's restarting without success

and they don't apply after update

because it can't patch the microcode

grub is preventing that

separate them

windows with WBM

and linux with whatever bootloader u want

both installed on the EFI boot partition

with secure boot enabled

and CSM disabled

this way they can do whatever they want

and not interfere with each other

[tame topaz]

I thought secure boot invalidates Linux entirely

[subtle hawk]

but you'll have to pick which to boot when you turn on the pc from the BIOS boot selector

@tame topaz unless you have the keys installed

which is like 4 commands

then rebuild the bootloader and you're good to go

mac UEFI BIOS is super neat

it'll detect what is available and if u have more than one valid boot point it will prompt you to pick

[tame topaz]

I have a spare 80 gig drive and feeling tempted to dual boot XP on there

Possible?

[subtle hawk]

XP and linux?

[tame topaz]

XP and 10

[subtle hawk]

yeah

[tame topaz]

Becaise I am a pleb

[subtle hawk]

but you might run into issues on w10

since you'll be booting into legacy mode

[tame topaz]

80 gig drive already has XP but is clearly running into BIOS-related issues

[subtle hawk]

unless you want to change 4 BIOS settings every timevyou want to boot XP

[tame topaz]

Jeez

[subtle hawk]

you're better off keeping it in a VM with direct pass through of devices

like the HDD

[tame topaz]

Elaborate?

[subtle hawk]

basically you give the VM full control over the device

and the host can't do anything about it

[tame topaz]

Well all I want to do on XP is to just fuck around anyway so bleh

[subtle hawk]

then you can just create a virtual disk

[tame topaz]

Tru

Now I have 2 spare 80 gigs, one IDE and one SATA just lying around

Asked it from the comp sci teacher for shits and giggles

[mental coyote]

Wow. I can't even imagine using a drive that small, anymore. My hecking music is 100 Gb and change, by itself.

Mbr holding grub, which chainloads windows = legacy mode trick.
UEFI uses an ESP (the 200 Mb Fat partition) to hold each OS's bootloader directly.

[tame topaz]

I don't get any of this, but I'm still interested

[mental coyote]

The "hard" part with some linux distros is if they don't have the signed bootloader.
then you'd have to disable secure boot.
Another potential issue is how yer OEM set the BIOS up. Sometimes, even a signed distro won't boot in anything but legacy, at first. Then you gotta redo GRUB from the
inside to account for it.
Frankly, just research yer machine, first. So you know what issues might crop up.

You partitioned in mbr style, didn't you?

[subtle hawk]

@mental coyote not really

if the keys are valid and the board is from a reputable brand you're all good

and yes in UEFI mode you have a ESP that has all the bootloaders, microcode and etc

when you POST you have to select the OS to boot then proceed to boot normally

[mental coyote]

Heh. All I can say to that is one situation that happened to me:
Last laptop, only distro that'd even boot in UEFI mode was Fedora. No such issue with this one.
(Mind you, that's laptops. At least for desktops, you pick yer own board to work with)

[subtle hawk]

@mental coyote had 3 laptops, all booted Arch, Debian and Ubuntu just fine

one of them had a dead 3D GPU

still worked

just had to tell the kernel to ignore the GPU mux circuit

[mental coyote]

Coulda just been that cheapass Toshi.

[subtle hawk]

probably

[mental coyote]

Never again do I buy their shit, mang.

[subtle hawk]

for laptops I only trust MSI, Asus, Acer (mid-high end), Microsoft, Apple and Dell

[mental coyote]

I used to dig HP, but fuck hardware whitelisting.

[brave anchor]

I like MSI design, but the price in my country is nono

[mental coyote]

Yer gonna give Grub a complex, sayin that.

[subtle hawk]

implying it doesn't have that one

[severe falcon]

at what point can i conclusively say my ISP is a filthy scumbag company who rips people off? advertised speed is 100 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up

[past bison]

should be when you have had around 80mbps or less for over 24 hours in a month that you can claim some money back, thats at least how it is in sweden

[severe falcon]

PFFT

ive never SEEN 80mbps

[subtle hawk]

wanna see them now?

[past bison]

my isp, telia, are marketing their internet in my area as 12-24mbps adsl, i get out ~13mbps on an average day, ~14mbps on a good one

[harsh fox]

That's really low

[severe falcon]

the highest ive seen, based on steam's download rate, is 35 mbps

[subtle hawk]

http://nyamato.ban-hammered.me/i/rfc3l.png

[past bison]

its adsl so it doesnt go above 24mbps unless you have one of the more advanced and expensive dsl connections like vdsl

[subtle hawk]

that's because the gaming LAN is limited to 200Mbits per device

meanwhile I'm trying to solve a god damn docker container problem

[severe falcon]

yeah when i was in college in another town i got even higher than that even though i shouldve only gotten 50mbps @subtle hawk

[subtle hawk]

i can push it over 1 GB/s transfer

but that would drain from the others

[languid saddle]

I'll have to stay until 2 AM and I have to wake up early tomorrow, help

[subtle hawk]

same

this is what I'm dealing with

http://nyamato.ban-hammered.me/i/f279h.png

I need to create that red arrow link

[languid saddle]

Gl, I'm just trying to install w10 clearing previously all my shit from w7 oof

Moved all the important things first to another HDD and made some captures from the 160+ programs i had installed

[subtle hawk]

http://nyamato.ban-hammered.me/i/hxs1i.png

[languid saddle]

[past bison]

right now, amd is just completely trolling both intel and nvidia with their product names

Just imagine if that happens

[severe falcon]

tfw buffering on 144p

[harsh fox]

Gtx 2050

[subtle hawk]

yes

GTX 2060 and 2050 are not RTX cards

only 2070 2080 and 2080 Ti

[harsh fox]

I didn't heard of that

[subtle hawk]

well TUL

[harsh fox]

And on your pic we can read RTX2060

[fickle crest]

Whats the diff. in RTX and GTX

Just more power?

[subtle hawk]

RTX cards have Ray Tracing technology baked into the GPU

GTX doesn't

[fickle crest]

Aaah ok

[languid saddle]

H e l p

I wanna go sleep but with fucking W10 is taking all my sleeping hours

[past bison]

then stop fucking w10 and go to sleep

[languid saddle]

Almost there

Tomorrow gonna setup everything but now just finish installation and preconfig and go to sleep 4 hours at least

[past bison]

i have never had any win10 installs take longer than ~30 minutes at most

[languid saddle]

I've been waiting 3 fucking hours to format a big ass HDD

[past bison]

though all of them have been on ssds or fresh, 6gbit 7200rpm hdds

[languid saddle]

Holy shit, atleast I hsve my 600 GB steam games

I can pass them easy if I have the data

[subtle hawk]

NVMe SSD for me

install is like 5-10 min

[languid saddle]

I've been living in 2009 for almost 8 years with W7 and some trashy HDDs lmao

[past bison]

took 15 minutes on my 2x 256gb 840 pro ssds in raid0

[subtle hawk]

then it's a long ass time waiting for cortana to speak or for the fuking introduction slideshow bullshit

"Hi. Welcome to ur new pc"

bitch get me to desktop now

[languid saddle]

Gn bois, 2 AM and I have to get up at 7

[subtle hawk]

3 AM

get up a 7

[past bison]

that slideshow... like... why did they even introduce that thing?

[languid saddle]

Rip

Anyways, I'll have to update it, 2016 build lmao

[mental coyote]

sata ssd, myself. not the highest end stuff, but worlds ahead of the 5400 rpm shitbucket the laptop came with.

[languid saddle]

Hell of windows, u p d a t e s

[severe falcon]

on win7 you can completely disable updates

[languid saddle]

Ikr

This motherfucker went from 100% to 19% wtf

[subtle hawk]

disables updates
gets wannacry'd

[languid saddle]

That's kinda scary for an early 2000s PC

[severe falcon]

well i got used to disabling updates since win7 would turn my laptop on in the middle of the night, where it was on the floor with its vent not able to get air and then update for a while

did i mention the laptop already had an overheating issue?

[mental coyote]

Never disable updates on a winbox. Way too much malware anal-reaming that OS.

[severe falcon]

still it was better than the win 8.1 update that happened to my friends' and teachers' laptops. it said "whippity woken, your built in wifi adapter is now broken"

[subtle hawk]

@mental coyote ex-fuking-actly

[mental coyote]

Only arguable exception is VM Windows, since you can just resume that fucker from a prior snapshot.

[severe falcon]

i mean i still update my win7 its just that i killed auto updating

so i just set it to update when im at work one day

instead of in the middle of playing a game

[severe falcon]

ok so tech people, i have a friend who has win 10 and after looking up the error code, that needs installation media to recover, it happens when the computer is booting up. Weird part is that we were both playing destiny 2 and talking on discord when it happened. Any ideas as to what couldve caused that? error code: 0xc000000e

[past bison]

repair windows

[severe falcon]

yeah i know how to fix it, but i was wondering more on HOW it happened considering its only supposed to appear when booting

[past bison]

some critical windows file got corrupted while the pc was in use

[severe falcon]

ah so suicidal computer it is

[severe falcon]

So i went over with a win 10 usb and uhhhh, after saying it needed the usb 20 mins ago it now just started up no problem. Am i a beacon of technological luck or is there something else behind the crash?

[past bison]

i dont know, maybe you are

[severe falcon]

First rule of fixing technology: nothing will make sense, just accept rng-sama's technical blessings

[past bison]

power cycling also often helps basic tech problems

there is a reason tech supports often suggest "have you tried turning it off and on again?"

[mental coyote]

True.

[severe falcon]

well see i told him that before i went over there and problem didnt go away

[vagrant yacht]

I see there's a little gold piece sticking out of my audio jack, is there anything I can do? I suspect it's the cause of various pairs of my headphones messing up on me

It appears to be coming out of the inside of the jack

[severe falcon]

can you send a picture of it?

[vagrant yacht]

I can try to get one later

When I return

[subtle hawk]

no it doesn't

that golden part is the ground of the jack

your headphones won't work without it

[vagrant yacht]

I don't see it sticking out of other things though

Is it possible it's damaged? My volume goes up randomly and the voice search turns on with seemingly any pair of headphones plugged in

It seems a small piece of it is sticking out more than it should

[subtle hawk]

that's probably because you use phone earbuds that have a damaged control

happened to me before

but headphone jacks are VERY hard to break

[severe falcon]

So im trying to solve an issue for a friend, his desktop randomly black screens and dies. I checked the event logs and it apparently happens right before the comp shuts down, in addition to the random times. Another friend said it might be psu related, any other ideas about what could be happening?

[brave anchor]

motherboard?

[subtle hawk]

@severe falcon yeah PSU looks like the problem

or APCI

[severe falcon]

Apci?

Well its random enough where i dont think its the apci, cuz oower draw doesnt seem to affect when it happens

Would having a beefier power supply than he needs contribute to the problem or does that not matter?

Or at least to psu problems in general

[subtle hawk]

@severe falcon

Beefier power supplies generally only help towards future upgrades if one is going to get more parts for their build that equate to more wattage consumption. An 80+ bronze rated 300W PSU should function the same as an 80+ bronze rated 600W PSU, for example. If this problem is most likely stemming from your power supply, then it all comes down to the quality of the individual unit and generally not its wattage. Better to have a "weaker" PSU that actually works than a more powerful one with questionable up times

[tame topaz]

Air 570 for dirt cheap, hoo boy

oh wait...

for me it was installing fuckin updates at night when pc is hibernated and i'm sleeping

so i wake up in the morning and turning pc on and all of open windows/programs/anything unsaved is gone

and i turned off that updates group policy that windows cannot wake my pc up from hibernation anymore

Wonder if an UV cathode is bright enough on its own

[subtle hawk]

Wallpaper engine is better than I expected

Friend gifted it to me yesterday, was surprised by how well it performs

Isn’t a resource hog either

[past bison]

because it almost shuts off completely when you you maximize a program

though it also depends on which wallpaper you are running, some are heavier on your machine than others

[severe falcon]

Anyone have experience with autohotkey or maybe scripting in general? Im running into a problem that i cant find anything about online

[proven forum]

win10 is wonderful restarts randomly when I have it doing something that takes a long time making me lose some or all progress

[broken ivy]

I accidentally Overclock my father's PC GPU -_-

I'm soo dead rn...

I deleted the driver after i disable the GPU on safe mode...
( the screen graphics goes glitching out which forcing me to unplug the power cable )

But after that, some part of the wallpaper screen color goes inverted, and i have to unplug the cable once more...
And when i boot it up, it just won't boot up to BIOS, it's stuck in powering mode ( the electric status from power supply dropped every 6 second, preventing some stable electric supplies to the motherboard for booting up to BIOS )

( you guys can ignore that if you want )

[subtle hawk]

the card will reset to factory if the OC is unstable

[broken ivy]

Is that actually bad or no?

And what is the meaning of it will reset to factory if it's unstable?

[tame topaz]

@broken ivy Meaning the card will go back to stock speeds if your overclock is unstable.

[broken ivy]

Is it?
Because when i accidentally overclock it and causes a graphical glitch ( like random pixel color block on screen ) i have to quickly unplugged the power cable because of my freakout reaction...
When i boot up, 2 minutes later,the screen got the same glitch, so i have to unplug it again, it happens 3 times...
So i decided to disable the GPU via Device manager on safe mode, and delete the driver, when i finish deleting it, some part of the screen got it colors inverted or turned into 8 bit color, so i unplug it one last time, when i try to boot up again, the PC won't boot up to BIOS, leaving a blank screen...
I put my ears closer to the PC when it's on, i hear that the eletric flow is stable ( by the sound of the fan ) suddenly went low then turns to normal ( the fan goes like power down, resulting a slower fan speed and quieter noise ) it happens non stop till I unplugged the power cable...

[mental coyote]

Thought you'd already went full Arch?

Drat.

[tame topaz]

Reboots when it wants?

How come I never get that?

And somehow I never get the "update while still working" thing like many still complain either

Probably because I never do the sort of work you do

Dammit this is like the second or third pair headphones I've broken this year

I don't get free software.
Never have, never will.

not that I've ever cared about privacy anyway

[subtle hawk]

that sounds like potato laptop with hard drive

[tame topaz]

This tee definitely wasn't well thought out.

[brave anchor]

Nothing wrong

[glossy panther]

[tame topaz]

T-shirt

Christmas

Can't you see anything wrong?

I mean at least they're kinda subtle about it so it's fine I s'pose.

[mental coyote]

Most heavy computer freaks ain't exactly "outside" people. t-shirt seems valid enough, imho

[past bison]

some people, like myself, like to keep my room/apartment cold and wear warm clothes instead of keeping it hot enough to only wear a tshirt

[broken ivy]

Does it actually really dangerous to increasing the MHZ of the GPU?

Cuz that's what I actually did to the GPU when i accidentally overclock it

[past bison]

increasing it too much maybe but todays gpus are smart enough to go into safe mode if it detects problems

[tame topaz]

@past bison If you don't know they accidentally borked their dad's GPU yesterday by OCing

Did you ever fix it though?

[broken ivy]

My curiosity is driving me to overclock it...

My dad is fixing it rn...

[tame topaz]

Is he angry?

[broken ivy]

No

I didn't tell him that i OC it...

I only tell about graphical glitch screen

[tame topaz]

First things first: what CPU is it?

[broken ivy]

Idk

I haven't check it...

[tame topaz]

So there's a chance it can't overclock at all

Depends on the motherboard as well.

[past bison]

it was the gpu, not cpu

[tame topaz]

Oh oof I read it wrong

Thought you decided to try the CPU this time

[broken ivy]

It's the GPU

I found overclock setting on the AMD catalyst

Control panel

[tame topaz]

AMD huh? Nice.

[broken ivy]

So my curiosity is telling to check it out

[past bison]

uninstalling gpu drivers should reset the gpu to stock speeds unless it flashed the bios to the new speeds

[broken ivy]

I already reinstall it...

Now my father is trying to unplug the GPU and check it's condition...

[past bison]

try using a driver cleaner such as ccleaner

there are other driver cleaners as well that are made for cleaning up just the gpu drivers

[broken ivy]

When the graphical glitch happen, i can't boot back into normal boot, since it will cause the glitch again, so i deactivate the GPU on safe mode first then i uninstall the GPU driver

[tame topaz]

Welp, the Vardar is in warranty now

Big oof

[broken ivy]

@tall plaza

Accidental OverClocking GPU

[tall plaza]

This is why I leave OCs to the professionals

[broken ivy]

I don't want to touch that OC feature again...

Ever

[tall plaza]

OCs are a gamble; high risk, high reward

[broken ivy]

By the time i tried to slide the MHZ thingy to the right...

And apply

It causing screen graphical glitch

Man, i was freak out on that time...

My instinct telling me to immediately unplug the power cable...

[tall plaza]

I got a virus once so I executed a purge of almost all my files though no "heavy" damage was sustained except my game data.

[broken ivy]

Oof

[full quartz]

hi im planning to buy a budget phone

what specs do i have to look for to run AL smoothly

[broken ivy]

Damn

Android 9 ._.

My phone only upgraded to Android 7 ._.

[full quartz]

android 7 cant run AL?

or maybe android 8

whats the difference 👀

[broken ivy]

No

I meant

My phone's can only upgrade to Android 7

[weak steeple]

@full quartz mine is using snapdragon 625
It's quite smooth, but sometimes it lags a bit
Overall it's playable

[full quartz]

not really familiar with these

but i guess android 7 is playable and android 9 is the goal

[weak steeple]

Android version doesn't affect performance, tho you might want to buy at least version 7 for future proofing

[full quartz]

hmm so is RAM the better one to look for?

4 gb ram is good?

[weak steeple]

4 gb ram is enough for now
What's most important in performance is the cpu specs
More ram only means more apps that you can open at the same time

[full quartz]

i see

[broken ivy]

I have not so good CPU

[full quartz]

so for cpu specs, any recommendations?

[weak steeple]

Snapdragon 660 or 636 is good budget cpu, an upgrade from snapdragon 625

If you have more budget, go for flagship specs (835, 845, or higher)

Dunno for equivalent of exynos, kirin, or mali
It's not as straightforward as snapdragon in naming

[full quartz]

yea about to ask that

cos im looking at kirin 659 rn dunno if thats good enough

[weak steeple]

Try watching the phone with said spec in youtube, it's easier to understand

[full quartz]

did some searching and yea they are saying kirin 659 is atleast better than snapdragon 626

so i guess thats fine

thanks!

hmm actually found another one with kirin 710

[brave anchor]

i still using my old old phone, Samsung S4

[tame topaz]

Android One, yeet

Tried out Pie on my dad's Nokia 6.1 and it looks and feels mighty fine.

[languid saddle]

Kirin 960 is at pair with Snapdragon 820 I think

[rocky quiver]

they didn't even bother putting an actual lid on the m7

[subtle hawk]

that's not a MacBook board that's for sure

[rocky quiver]

it's a dead GPD Win 2

there's glue and scribbles all over that board for some reason.. I think I got an actual prototype

[granite dagger]

Ay, may I ask
Can a stock Lenovo Ideapad 330 run emulator games?

That was one wild ride.

WOOOOOOOOOOO

[vagrant yacht]

How do I know if it's my headphones making my phone randomly switch volume and activate voice search or the port?

[tame topaz]

@vagrant yacht It is your headphones.

Happens when the wiring is screwed enough.

All my headphones that broke broke the same way.

[vagrant yacht]

Really? Damn

Sucks

[tame topaz]

Also can be caused by the actual plug

That can sometimes fix the issue as well.

[weak steeple]

@granite dagger what's the specs and what emulator? Searching on google shows multiple specs under the same name
Fyi my laptop is asus x450c with i3-3217U, 2GB RAM, and intel 4000HD
It can run handheld (gba, nds), ps1, and some ps2 games. Can't run android games

[granite dagger]

I'm referring to general emulators

[weak steeple]

I think it can, as my 5 years old laptop can run some of it too

[mental coyote]

Anything up to ps1 can be run by even a quad-arm phone. Yer lappy should be fine. PS2, you might need a bit more beef behind you.

[subtle hawk]

why emulate when you have the original hardware

[mental coyote]

Some folks lack it.

[subtle hawk]

my PS2 is still in mint condition

[mental coyote]

Ooooor, their games are scratched to fuck & back.

[subtle hawk]

totally didn't mod it

[granite dagger]

I dont have a PS2

couldve got my uncle's PS2, but he replaced it with a Xbox 360

like, goddamnit

[weak steeple]

Should be able to run some of ps2 games if your specs similar to mine

[fickle crest]

I have got 6 of them lel

2 slim and 4 normal ones

[severe falcon]

I have unlimited power, fear me

[subtle hawk]

but can u get gud

[severe falcon]

The screen mounted to the block of wood is a raspberry pi "laptop" i can make it do the same thing XD

[subtle hawk]

@severe falcon if you manage to edit the git binary to have a gud subcommand then props to you

[severe falcon]

oh wait, i forgot git was like a command

[subtle hawk]

yeah

it is

[severe falcon]

then i can do the same thing, with difficulty

[subtle hawk]

took me a bit till I git everything running

wasted half a day just for a meme

[severe falcon]

only problem is that i dont think the UNOs can communicate with both the pi and each other at the same time

[subtle hawk]

or can they

[severe falcon]

i mean they can, but they cant use the usb cables

[subtle hawk]

who say u need the USB cables

[severe falcon]

true but i only has one battery with the right cable

[subtle hawk]

what are even trying to make

[severe falcon]

i mean basically just mess around with all the things

first goal is remote control tic tac toe

cuz that actually seems doable

[subtle hawk]

for that I have my development box

has a rpi, uno and a ton of sensors and motors

and some proto boards

[severe falcon]

yeah i had an rpi and an uno with some ancient resistors and chips from an old kit, but now i have the new one to use with it

i could always steal the big lcd from my 3d printer if i wanted to

[subtle hawk]

make a CSGO bomb

with the 7 segment display and all that

[severe falcon]

you mean a brick of clay with some wire,s a keypad, and the display?

[subtle hawk]

yes

[severe falcon]

XD

[subtle hawk]

well technically that's C4

in its transportation wrapping

I had fun making one of those

requires a uno, a small buzzer, a 7 segment display and a keypad

oh and some styrofoam for the bulk of it

[severe falcon]

i dont think i have a buzzer, unless the ultrasonic thing can go low enough

[subtle hawk]

it can't

you need one of these

[severe falcon]

yeah unfortunately the old kit had the speaker built into it

[subtle hawk]

if you get a audio board as well then you can play the sound queues from the game

[severe falcon]

gonna dabble in some AI and then turn the pi and both unos into the MAGI from evangelion and have them decide everything for me

[subtle hawk]

or get a array of small and big pis and turn your entire home into a almost fully autonomous building

[severe falcon]

OH WAIT i do have buzzers, one active, one passive

whatever that means

wait is the passive one a mic?

[subtle hawk]

no

[severe falcon]

having a fully autonomous home without amazon or google listening to everything would be pretty good

[subtle hawk]

cough
