Its an armv8 processor but the rpi OS is armv7 so it can only do armv7

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

lol

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

My samsung note 5 has 2 quadcores, one is quad a57 at 2.1 ghz, the other is quad a53 (rpi cpu) at 1.2 ghz

#

Rpi needs more ram though, 1 GB is not enough

#

Tried making a paint program and the fill bucket would always overflow the stack

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 4:51 PM

#

lol

#

My phone is kryo 260

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

Yeah qualcomm said kryo 260 is 40% better than a53 core for core

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

Also let me see if I can get it to emulate and run x86 windows program tomorrow 🤔

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 4:53 PM

#

But ive never had TOO much of an issue with my rpi going sloe

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

Me too

#

Until that keepass decryption

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

Not sure how possible this would be but if you did it with arm assembly, it would probably go alot faster if you optimize it

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

never tried arm assembly

#

some people said it's more complicated than x86 function wise

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

Well the naming conventions are far easier, and i didnt really have a problem with the functions

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 4:58 PM

#

I mean, it's RISC processor

#

what I said earlier is probably the way it handles opcodes or something

#

I can't remember

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:00 PM

#

Yeah but instead of the registers being called something like AX for the accumulator, its just R0 - R15 with some of them having some other ways to call them

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:00 PM

#

yeah

#

I'm still a bit confused with x86 registers

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:01 PM

#

Yeah arm was pretty fun in my assembly class, i did the hw like 6 days early just cuz i was bored

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:02 PM

#

also segment registers thing so it can address more than 16 bits back when it's 16-bit processor

#

nice

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:03 PM

#

Now im talking about armv7, armv8 is ALOT more complicated and they restricted your freedom heavily, but you also cant accidently freeze the whole cpu by messing with the program counter

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:04 PM

#

isn't armv8 uses a new AArch64 for 64 bit processors?

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:04 PM

#

But looking at the assembly that gcc makes, there seems to be alot of room for optimization on doing simple things

#

Yeah its 64 bit

#

You cannot access the PC in any way, the assembly code doesnt even have a name for it

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:06 PM

#

just like old 8-bit cpus

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

Yeah but armv7 lets you do whatever you want to PC

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

well, I'm more experienced with them more for assembly

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

If you wanna get into assembly, use marie sim, its a virtual assembly machine, i think its 8bit though

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

but I coded for z80 since 2014 thinkgb

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

Ah

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

z80 is very nice 8-bit cpu though

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

Though i think you could probably BUILD the marie sim machine with some electronics if you really wanted to, its not very complex, besides the control unit

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

it even has load/store architecture like RISCs

#

besides z80 I also wrote for 6502

#

but that cpu is really hard for beginners

#

it has 3 general purpose registers and tons of addressing modes

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

Yeah armv7 has 12 gp registers, although the 12th one is the stack pointer, so only 11 if youre using the stack

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

not 16?

#

with 15th as sp and 16th as pc

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

Yeah but usually you wouodnt want to use those as general purpose

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

ah I see

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:18 PM

#

Oh wait 12 are fully gp, and then theres SP, LP, PC, and CPSR

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:18 PM

#

yeah

#

it's one of processor that you have to manually save the call return pointer

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:19 PM

#

Yeah i believe thats with the LP right?

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

yes

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

Also just realized its 13 gp registers, as cpsr is the 17th register

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:21 PM

#

I was about to ask that

#

since I remember that its flags register is separated

#

hm direct access to pc register

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

Yeah i had to use it for one of the assignments, it was basically jumping to functions but you werent allowed to use the jump instruction

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

lol

#

why though

#

I only see the benefit for long jumps and jump tables

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:25 PM

#

Its been a while so i dont really remember the full assignment, but you couldnt jump normally to it for whatever reason

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

and you can do jump tables by using register indirect jump on the other cpus

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

We never got into multicore stuff

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

or even intentionally messing with the stack so it returns to the position you wanted to jump to

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:28 PM

#

I think it was conditional jumping where the jump target was in the middle of another function

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:28 PM

#

ah I see

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:29 PM

#

The programs were very easy, like 2 min on c++ and it was done kinda simple

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:31 PM

#

did you learn about using interrupts too

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:31 PM

#

Yeah but i dont think we used it for anything besides I/O

subtle hawk Jan 16, 2019, 5:32 PM

#

yeah it's mostly for I/O

#

or anything real-time

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:33 PM

#

I think it was r7 that determined whether it was reading or writing when you told it to iterrupt

severe falcon Jan 16, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

So ive been spamming python tutorials, but can you really not do ascii addition? Like adding 1 to the letter a to get the letter b?

subtle hawk Jan 17, 2019, 3:30 AM

#

b = chr(ord(a) + 1)

severe falcon Jan 17, 2019, 3:39 AM

#

oh

#

also that a needs quotes or it errors

severe falcon Jan 17, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

Today I Learned: python does not have an integer size, i just did 100! and it gave me an answer

subtle hawk Jan 17, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

it does

#

but python switches automatically to long int if you overflow

severe falcon Jan 17, 2019, 2:51 PM

#

Wait then can you overflow a long int?

subtle hawk Jan 17, 2019, 2:53 PM

#

technically yes

#

but realistically it's impossible

severe falcon Jan 17, 2019, 2:54 PM

#

Cuz 100! is a 525 bit number

subtle hawk Jan 17, 2019, 2:54 PM

#

yeah it will expand as long as you have space to hold it

#

There is no explicitly defined limit. The amount of available address space forms a practical limit.

#

@severe falcon

#

doe I wouldn't advise going there LeanderXD

severe falcon Jan 17, 2019, 2:56 PM

#

Ah ok so technically anything past i assume 4 bytes is a long int and it just expands

#

Oh gosh i hate having to put a : on all the if else statements

#

@subtle hawk see i thought you needed a weird language to do really long number math, one of my teachers asked us what the first digit of 400! was and then used Lisp to show us

subtle hawk Jan 17, 2019, 2:59 PM

#

lisp is made for that

#

that or matlab

#

or R

#

they're scientific langs

#

they can calculate stuff really efficiently

severe falcon Jan 17, 2019, 3:04 PM

#

Yeah i was looking at some builtin functions and found some that were optimized for very specific math, like pow(2,5,6) is the same as 2**5 % 6 but it runs faster

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

it looks like your nvidia went nazi

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

nvidia drivers

#

I wonder why people only lul at amd drivers, I used to have just as many issues with nvidia as I do now

mental coyote Jan 21, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

Same reason folk lul at amd in general: unfortunately, amd hasn't always been competitive in the business.

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

well amd stopped driver support for half the cards it was supporting literally one week before just cause 3 came out, and then had to make a massive overhaul to all its drivers because they couldnt run the game higher than 5 fps no matter how powerful they were. but the ones that they just dropped support for didnt get that update so i had to refund my JC3 that i preordered

#

so amd cards are fine, but the driver issues are the problem

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

only problem I've really run into so far is getting GCN 2 and older cards to have full support on linux, but then again I don't really play demanding games

#

also

preorder

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

it was the same price to preorder so i just did it

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

you're far more trusting of devs than I am

#

I would never preorder anymore, too easy to get burned

past bison Jan 21, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

i have an odd issue with my nvidia drivers, any driver version that isnt 399.24: will kill display output at random when in use.
with 399.24 it gives me a whea_uncorrectable_error bsod

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

well if the JC3 devs actually screwed something up, they wouldnt exist anymore, so its pretty safe to trust them

mental coyote Jan 21, 2019, 7:46 PM

#

Not always a guarantee. Ubisoft's been making shitshow game releases for years, they're still here.

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 7:48 PM

#

ubisoft, EA, bioware... the list goes on and on

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

well yeah but thats Ubisoft, not a game company that only makes just cause games

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

people don't care as much about quality as they used to

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

and considering that just cause has nvidia basically controlling them, id say they will try extra hard to be good

mental coyote Jan 21, 2019, 7:50 PM

#

So, fulgur. 4.20 kernel workin for you, assuming you mess with a Ryzen board at all?

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 7:50 PM

#

yep, not had any issues

mental coyote Jan 21, 2019, 7:51 PM

#

Hmmm. Must be this lappy's board, then. I get no X, on a 4.20 series.

#

Stepped back to 4.19 lts, for now ... since I know it works.

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 7:52 PM

#

hmm

#

I'm running wayland actually, but had no issues with the legacy X applications that don't support it yet

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 10:17 PM

#

so this is an rpi/linux question, my rpi no longer understands what the internet is, how do i install stuff on it now?

#

if it was windows, i would just download an installer and then put it on the rpi with a usb, but is there a way to do this with linux?

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

what do you mean 'no longer understands what the internet is'

#

what the hell did you do to the poor thing?

#

also what distro

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

one day it just cant use the internet, its like its network stuff isnt working correctly, it says its connecting to the network but it isnt actually getting internet. its raspian

#

its been almost a year since the last time "sudo apt-get update" has worked

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

gimme the result that ping -c 3 google.com returns

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

uhh lemme go get it real quick

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

but if we're talking a year out of date, there may not be an upgrade path anymore

#

most distros aren't like arch

#

what abot arch

#

who dares speak ill of it

#

I'm speaking positive

#

about how it always has an upgrade path

#

it's not a upgrade path

#

it's a rolling release OS

#

there is no "upgrade" or "versions"

#

only snapshots of packages

#

and that's why there's always a path

#

AkagiLul

#

which is only needed on the first install

#

but it also comes with the drawback of being on the bleeding edge

#

not everything will work

#

ye wouldn't recommend it to a newbie

#

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wants stability

#

stability is overrated

#

it's not

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

well a little technical difficulties, turns out my 6 ft usb cord isnt stable when it comes to power so it keeps killing it during start up, am finding another cord

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

stability is extremely important

#

@severe falcon a rpi can't do high draw on the USB outputs

#

6ft usb cord
excuse me what the fuck

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

its the charger for my wireless headphones so you can still use them while they charge

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

that's the point of the cable

#

use it with something that provides high amperage

#

a rpi doesn't draw much

#

so it won't be able to travel a long distance

#

you need something short

#

especially if you use a mobile power brick

#

^

#

those provide 5V at 1A

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

yeah i have a good short cable but the only open outlet is in a weird spot and the power brick is dead

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

jam it into a PC's usb port for now then

#

unless the quick charge protocol negotiates a higher amperage and/or voltage

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

also we just found a heisenbug w00t w00t

#

or not

#

apparently google.com was cached on chromium

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

why wouldn't it be cached

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

ok @subtle hawk the result of that command is ping: unknown host google.com

mental coyote Jan 21, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

I see someone woke up Yamato. AkagiLul

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:03 PM

#

I was awake all day

#

just sick

mental coyote Jan 21, 2019, 11:03 PM

#

I feel ya, man. Bitchin headcold since Friday.

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

it IS connected to the router

#

wait does the ping command work to the router?

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

try that next

#

ping -c 3 <ip_of_router>

#

probably because your DNS server crapped the bed

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

yamato what do you mean?

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

its possibly that dhcpcd isn't started either

#

so it can't resolve google.com to an IP

#

if that wasn't on it wouldn't be able to ping the router

#

which is why I'd like him to ping the router

#

and it's raspian

#

it's on by default

#

ye but he hasn't confirmed that he could ping the router

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

3 transmitted, 3 received, 0% PL, 2003 ms

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

told ya

#

also that's some potato cable u got there

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

its wifi

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

oh god

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

the built in rpi 3 wifi

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

that's some crowded wifi you got there

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

yeah i think it has like 8 devices it has to compete with

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

crowded frequencies more like

#

das what I meant

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

4 phones, 3 smart tvs, sometimes a ps4, and then my comp

mental coyote Jan 21, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

Bandwidth ... what's that?

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

plug those things in with cable

#

NotLikeMiya

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

cant use cable, they never ran it to any other room in the house

#

but i dont really have a problem with it that a cable could fix

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

then borrow someone's cable snake and run it yourself

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

trust me, it wont help that much

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

trust me, it will

#

2000ms delay is pretty bad

#

2 seconds for 3 pings? no worder it can't do anything

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:12 PM

#

well that was just the time it said at the end, the 3 times for the packets were 4.76, 4.68, 4.70 respectively

#

the avg rtt is 4.719 ms

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:13 PM

#

then where the hell did all that delay come from

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:13 PM

#

processing time?

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:14 PM

#

I know where that time comes from

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:14 PM

#

you want me to snap a pic with my phone?

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:14 PM

#

doe it's gonna take a while to explain why to took so long

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:15 PM

#

well maybe after we see if its possible to get internet to my pi

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:15 PM

#

I mean for a temporary solution you can always edit resolv.conf

#

now that we know it's just getting bad info for a dns server

#

won't change jack shit

#

the data still has to travel through wifi

#

and that 2 second delay can cause certain requests to time out

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

so rpis dont usually have this delay on wifi?

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:18 PM

#

duuh

#

mine has sub 1 ms pings with maybe a couple of ms aquisition time

#

doe mine is in an ideal environment

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:19 PM

#

welp i have quite a bit of time, so why is it getting the delay?

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:19 PM

#

I'm in an area with a relatively crowded band and it's still not 4

#

crowded frequency

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:19 PM

#

well no the 2s delay

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:19 PM

#

you have a lot of things on the same frequency

#

your wifi access point is absolute garbage

#

probably your too far from the AP or the walls are thick

#

or you have large metal objects in between

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:21 PM

#

...you do understand that the 2s delay is AFTER the pings came back right? the pings took less than 5ms to leave my pi, go to the router, get turned around, and go back to the pi

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:21 PM

#

I mean, point 2 is standard for most SOHO ap+router+switch combo

#

taking 5ms on wifi is 5x the norm

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

i was talking more about the 2003ms it took to do something that it was done with after 15 ms

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

it didn't take it 2 seconds to finish

#

it took it 2 seconds to start

#

^

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:23 PM

#

oh

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:23 PM

#

the actual pinging took like a couple of ms tops

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:23 PM

#

well my comp took an avg of 1 ms

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:23 PM

#

your pc has a giant antenna

#

the rpi doesn't

#

^

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:24 PM

#

Is this the giant antenna you are referring to?

📎 20190121_172458.jpg

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

it has a way bigger PCB antenna eched on it

#

compared to just the chip on the rpi

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

ok so is there a way to fix the dns problem?

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

yes

#

bring it closer to the AP

#

or use wire

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

but it USED to be able to use the internet

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

more devices were added

#

interference can change

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

and nothing about the wifi setup has changed

#

like its dealt with all these devices before

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

either in your home or around you

#

how far is the AP

#

from the pi

#

and how many walls does it have to punch

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:28 PM

#

uhh id say like 20-25 ft through 2-3 walls(rn idk if its going through the closet or the space between walls)

#

lemme go set it up near the router and see how fast the pings are

#

~~if only belkin made some linux drivers~~

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:31 PM

#

should be a lot better

#

why would you use that garbage

#

belkin is trash

#

most of their products use potato cheap chips

#

you want something good you look for Realtek or Intel chips

mental coyote Jan 21, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

Hmmm. Not even a driver you can use ndiswrapper on?

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

well i have a spare wifi adapter that has an even bigger antenna

#

also its now less than a foot away from the router and it has 100% PL

#

is there such a thing as too close?

#

well i moved it to like 4 ft away and still nothing

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:38 PM

#

is it even still connected?

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:38 PM

#

yeah it says connected on the wifi taskbar icon

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:39 PM

#

do an ip a

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:40 PM

#

just type ip a?

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:40 PM

#

ye, and lemme know what it says

#

in full

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:41 PM

#

ok i will say that im on the router's webpage thing and its recieving SOMETHING from it, but only like a byte per min

#

wtf phone

#

hold on

#

#

phone takes a 30 MB image and it isnt even the right way up

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

you said you connected another wifi adapter to it right?

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

no everything is the same as before, except i had to shut it down and plug it in in the other room

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

oh I misunderstood

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

yeah i was saying that i wish i could plug in another adapter

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:47 PM

#

but why the hell do you ahve 2 ipv4 addrs on that interface?

#

thinkspinner

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:47 PM

#

wtf is 10.11.37.145

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

another internal ip

#

I'm starting to suspect multiple dchp servers on your LAN now

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

yeah but what for? the other one is the ip from the router

#

but i dont think i can even have multiple with this router, it only lists one

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:51 PM

#

sudo systemctl status dhcpcd@wlan0

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:53 PM

#

Not found(no such file or directory)
Inactive(dead)

#

But now the ping works so wth

#

also its not any faster

subtle hawk Jan 21, 2019, 11:55 PM

#

I mean honestly

#

if you want to try and get this fixed with minimal effort and you don't care about loosing anything on the pi, I'd say just reinstall raspbian

#

if it's a year out of date, it might be difficult to find an upgrade path

#

still might not fix the wifi issue if there's a lot of noise, but hey

#

worth a shot

severe falcon Jan 21, 2019, 11:58 PM

#

yeah lemme see if i need to keep anything on here, i dont think theres anything but we'll see

#

good thing i still have my microSD adapter

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:03 AM

#

those multiple DHCP leases could be bcz of wifi repeaters

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:03 AM

#

dont have a repeater

#

the SD card seems to have hidden its true capacity as its only listed as 62 MB

#

is that gonna be a problem?

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:17 AM

#

nah

#

not if you're burning it to the sdcard with a proper tool

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:18 AM

#

uhhh theres a tool? is the tool with the raspian zip from the official website?

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:18 AM

#

(ideally dd if you have another linux desktop)

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:19 AM

#

no the pi is the only linux thing i have

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:20 AM

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md

Installing operating system images - Raspberry Pi Documentation

This section includes some simple guides to setting up the software on your Raspberry Pi. We recommend that beginners start by downloading and installing NOOBS.

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:20 AM

#

ah ok

#

now i wait for my slow internet to download the 1.8 GB zip file

mental coyote Jan 22, 2019, 12:22 AM

#

1.8 Gb, for a pi distro ... wow.

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:23 AM

#

well its the one with all the software for it, there were smaller ones but this is the only case where you would WANT the extra software

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:23 AM

#

if you say so

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:24 AM

#

well its all the programming stuff, so i get python, java, and gcc from the start

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:24 AM

#

always go minimal instal

#

no gui if that's an option

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:25 AM

#

i like the gui, cuz i use it mostly as a laptop and i need the gui for some stuff

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:25 AM

#

you can still do a lot better than GNOME or whatever shitty DE they put on it by default

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:25 AM

#

DE?

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:25 AM

#

desktop environment

#

for something like a pi, I'd suggest LXDE

mental coyote Jan 22, 2019, 12:26 AM

#

That kinda hardware, I'd prolly slap on openbox with a tint2 bar.

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:26 AM

#

or ye openbox if you're willing to configure

#

or i3 if you subscribe to the tiling wm meme

#

GWnanamiPuffyCheeks

mental coyote Jan 22, 2019, 12:27 AM

#

problem with LXDE is that it's not really dev'd anymore. LXDE/Razor-QT merged into LXQT years ago.

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:27 AM

#

ive been using the default raspian stuff for at least 3 years now so im too used to it at this point

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:29 AM

it's amazing

#

i dont think kolourpaint supports no mouse mode

#

~~it might tho~~

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:30 AM

#

well i3 can use a mouse, its just you hardly ever have to touch it

#

tiling wms are a godsend for laptops tbh

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:31 AM

ah i see

mental coyote Jan 22, 2019, 12:31 AM

#

I haven't touched the major tiling wms, tbh.

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:31 AM

#

but i dont think you understand how much of a laptop my pi is

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:32 AM

I technically don't run a wm at all, I run a tiling compositor

Tell you what. I forget the name of the company, but there's actually a $99 linux laptop making the rounds, recently.

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:38 AM

i guess the craziest thing ive done is the 7 fans in an ITX case that i currently use

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:38 AM

but what distro do they put on it

mental coyote Jan 22, 2019, 12:39 AM

#

Good question.

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:42 AM

i just realized that since my pi was able to connect to the router, i didnt need to install java on my mom's laptop to do UDP and TCP assignments longcryland

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:43 AM

#

I mean, tbqh I have something weirder than that pi less than 6 feet from me

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:44 AM

#

but does your pi have a $4 fan hapahazardly screwed to the back of its case?

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:44 AM

#

I don't have a case on my pi so no

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:44 AM

and did said fan steal the plastic part inside the pi's usb so that now only the prongs remain?

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 12:45 AM

#

KannaWut

#

what kinda chinese piece of crap was that fan?

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 12:46 AM

i mean it works perfectly fine, like i can use it, its just i can only use it with that broken usb cuz the plastic part is still in the fan's usb

and it actually works really well for cooling

btw @subtle hawk i reinstalled raspian and the wifi is now working just fine

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 2:51 AM

#

K, make sure to periodically run apt-get update and apt-get upgradeso you don't have security holes

#

Maybe once a month or so should be fine

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 2:52 AM

#

yeah i usually run it when i start it up, cuz the clock desyncs while its off

#

and for whatever reason, it wouldnt automatically adjust

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

So your ntp daemon isn't working

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 2:54 AM

#

or well wasnt working

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 2:59 AM

#

Just make sure to run both commads, since update only updates the package database, it doesn't update any of the packaged installed

#

That's what upgrade is for

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:01 AM

#

ok

#

i like how the default values for the temp warnings are 140 and 145 celsius, like the pi is even gonna work at that point

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:23 AM

#

actually i dont even know what the max recommended temp for the Cortex A-53 is

old isle Jan 22, 2019, 3:42 AM

#

Most processors shouldn't reach seventy degrees Celsius, those default values are ridiculous! ExasperatedUzume

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:43 AM

#

yeah amds are all 70 i think, intel can go higher though, my dell laoptop had its emergency thermal shutdown at 90

#

i found this out after my laptop kept turning off while playing terraria, looked at the logs and saw it reached 90 and then killed itself

old isle Jan 22, 2019, 3:50 AM

#

I am surprised it could handle, or at least, let itself get to 90, or even functioned at 90. Also that Terraria ran your laptop that hard. Guess it was an old or not terribly good one?
That's good to know that some can go past 70 it seems.

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:51 AM

#

well it was a 2010 that ran better than most do now at the same price of $500, but it only had integrated intel graphics, so the processor not only had to do all the processing of terraria, but also all of the graphics aswell, so it didnt like it too much(and the cooling was awful)

#

but it ran minecraft in unoptimised beta at at least 30 fps so it was good enough for me

old isle Jan 22, 2019, 3:54 AM

#

Hmmm, impressive!

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

yeah i wore the heck out of it, the oil from my skin where i rested my wrist to use the touchpad took the silver part off of the black plastic underneath

and now its in heaven without its hard drive

old isle Jan 22, 2019, 4:03 AM

Oof
I still keep an old XP machine around, off the Internet, that used to do things I don't know how it did on just 512 MB RAM. I keep it around just so I can still play SimCopter from time to time.

"AMDs are 70"
Uhh, maybe dog years ago, last I checked 70c was still a safe load / stress temp

@severe falcon it should show up in linux as well

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

Yeah but i dont have a way to get the url to login

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

you don't

#

access any website it should redirect you to the login page

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

It doesnt go to the page when i ooen my browser

#

Yeah it doesnt do that

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

then go blame the IT department

#

any normal setup should do that

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:13 PM

Yeah i have some time today so maybe ill do that

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:13 PM

linux is a pc

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:14 PM

it uses a guest fencing

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:15 PM

doe that's retarded

#

at uni we use 802.1X

way easier to set up and maintain

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:16 PM

Thats exactly what it uses

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:16 PM

the website login isn't 802.1X

60GHz only has 802.11 AD

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:19 PM

ur school are a bunch of cheapskates

#

I use ac

#

b/g/n hurts everyone on the network the moment some ancient hardware is connected

lol

#

5 GHz is bad in range as is

#

since it will operate on the lowest protocol compatible with everyone

so let's say everyone uses N

Well we did just get a brand new multi million dollar cpmp sci and business building

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:21 PM

it's meant for speed

Btw yamato i reinstalled raspian and now my pi isnt broken

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

@severe falcon What did you try using?

#

Windows IoT normal builds are ded for Pi3 Model B+

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

Oh its wifi was just borked completely, we had a whole thing debugging it yesterday

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

Use ethernet

#

It's easier

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

Cant

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

@severe falcon well the oldest trick in the books

#

reinstall

#

Then if it still doesn't work, hammer it

#

Even though I hammer stuff without reason

#

For science

#

Anyways

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:34 PM

#

Yeah, though once i get to class, i can tell you an even more infuriating thing about the comps at the new school building

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:35 PM

#

Which class you in?

#

sure

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:35 PM

#

Next one is vietnam war

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:35 PM

#

I'm in Std. VIII and vv

#

No more Vietnam flashbacks please

#

I've had enough from my phones

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

Ok im here now

#

So the way it worked at the old comp sci/engr building is that the comps would flash at some time everyday, so anything you had saved to your account would be lost. I think it was just a server account cuz you could switch comps the same day and still get your files

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

tomorrow going to get my C exam grade passed into my student ID and then I'll be helping out on a research project

#

Nice

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

Sounds intelligent right?

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

I'm 13 so don't ask me

#

sounds like a master server and some thin clients

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

Well at the new building, you have your account but i think it saves it locally on the machine but tied to your account and they dont flash daily

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:40 PM

#

huh

#

@subtle hawk fair warning, excessive showing off here isn't welcome

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:40 PM

#

So i can go into the computer lab, get on a certain computer, and my files are on my accounts desktop, but if i get on my account on the comp next to it, the files arent there

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:40 PM

#

kk

#

could also be multiple servers

#

so some are on one pc some on the other

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

Well it woukd have to be a diff server for all comps, cuz ive done this on 6 different comps

#

Although i havent tested if someone else can get on the comp and have all my stuff on their account thinkpitz

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 3:42 PM

#

Thonk

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

Im not dumb tho, its just my notepad++ and some html files from a project so they cant steal anything valuable

#

So i forgot my battery pack and there is literally only one outlet in this entire 160ft hallway and there isnt a bench near it

#

Kill me please

tame topaz Jan 22, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

oof

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 6:35 PM

#

sounds like a standard AD setup

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

So @subtle hawk it wont let me even attempt to connect to the secure wifi

📎 JPEG_20190122_131406.jpg

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

ur not supplying enough power

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 7:15 PM

#

Thats not the problem

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 7:15 PM

#

and what kind of wifi is that

#

it should let you

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 7:15 PM

#

Its the 802.1bgn thing, it said all staff and students can join it with their login info

#

Also idk what to do about the power thing, cuz it does this even when plugged into the wall. I think its cuz the power is split between the screen and the pi

#

Actually no its the stupid fan thats causing it

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

lol

#

the fan is drawing too much?

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

I mean it shouldnt, its a usb fan and i wouldnt think the pi would give the usbs more power than the pi itelf is getting

#

Can i physically tell my pi to only give the usb like 75% power?

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

it not giving them more than it's getting

#

if it was it wouldn't turn on

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 7:31 PM

#

I mean when i take the fan out it doesnt have a problem so its obviously prioritising the usb over itself

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 7:51 PM

#

Oh crap i forgot to get my screen brightness scripts from the old os

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 8:09 PM

#

I recommend using light

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 8:18 PM

#

???

subtle hawk Jan 22, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

for brightness control

severe falcon Jan 22, 2019, 9:17 PM

Ehh i like my 3 one line scripts, but i only ever need 1

Case in point: a holeless smartphone.

#

No notch, no headphone jack, no speakers, no USB port, no nothing.

#

Also no buttons nor SIM slot.

#

Essentially water resistant from the get go since there are absolutely no holes for water to enter

subtle hawk Jan 23, 2019, 11:43 AM

That would be something I guess

that is a interesting concept

mental coyote Jan 23, 2019, 11:51 AM

Hmmm. I don't mind the lack of a sim card. Those damn things honestly need to die off, imho.

subtle hawk Jan 23, 2019, 11:55 AM

Yep
F%$k bills

#

why would you need a SIM when phones already come with unique IDs

#

And Wi-Fi

tame topaz Jan 23, 2019, 12:32 PM

It uses eSIM.

#

And the physcal buttons are replaced by capacitive ones.

But Oppo really went overboard with their Super VOOC though, like Jesus

That thing charges quick

subtle hawk Jan 23, 2019, 12:45 PM

#

But it wasn't as fast as OPPOs

#

Yep

#

where the charger and the battery charging circuit decide on a higher output to charge the battery faster

tame topaz Jan 23, 2019, 12:46 PM

And yeah while the Royole FlexPai is kinda iffy in its implementation, at least they have bragging rights to be the first to have a foldable phone

When you set a variable equal to a for loop with an if statement to turn it into a list all on one line

only linux thing i have is my rpi

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:08 PM

#

I have a Pi as well

#

Wut's the board?

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:08 PM

#

3 B+ i think?

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:08 PM

#

Yolo

#

Me too

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:08 PM

#

i know its a 3 at least

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:09 PM

#

oof

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:09 PM

#

but currently its my programming comp, (if only it came with matlab though)

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:09 PM

#

Really, it's the nitty-gritty shell thing that is driving me off

mental coyote Jan 25, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

Secureboot's kinda eh, anyway. Not like you can't just disable usb/optical drive booting.

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

I use it for Windows 10 IoT and Kali

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

But eh, I've always wanted to learn DOS for lulz anyway so this is kinda similar I guess??

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

@tame topaz the shell thing is actually really good, youll use it more than you think

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

I know it's good

#

But man does it seem daunting as hell

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

for java/c/c++ i use the shell and gedit for my pseudo IDE

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

Uh wut

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

yeah cuz i enter 2 commands and then my program is compiled and running in a fraction of a second

#

instead of waiting for whatever slow IDE on my windows comp to attempt to compile my code

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

I'm assuming you already have to know coding for this?

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

Okay who agrees Windows Subsystem on Linus is a Pile of S@%t?

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

If distro is short for distribution then bistro is short for bistribution

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

i mean yeah you need to know coding to code, but the shell is just simple commands

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

And stuff

mental coyote Jan 25, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

I disagree, personally. WSL is actually ok, besides defaulting to a no-X install.

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

Try it in Insider Previews lol

mental coyote Jan 25, 2019, 3:17 PM

#

That's yer mistake. Expecting Insider Previews to work "optimally." And I say this as one of the pre-release Insiders, back when W10 was still in the works.

#

Really, the biggest problem in W10 is all the telemetry bullshit/forced updating.

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:17 PM

#

I am an Insider since it was first announced

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:18 PM

#

still on W7 over here lol

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:18 PM

#

I disable telemetry on first boot

#

And other stuff

#

I love to destroy registry lol

mental coyote Jan 25, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

Registry is such a pain, when it decides to be a bitch.

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:21 PM

#

Not for me

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:21 PM

#

Good lord I feel enlightened

#

And feel like an idiot at the same time

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:22 PM

#

Why do I have frogs on my Surface pro lol

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:22 PM

#

oof

#

But yeah this will take some getting used to

#

All these guides are complicated-sounding as hell and I don't like it

#

Windows pleb

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

also @tame topaz you cant beat wanting to get some software so you just type a one-line command and get it without having to go on the browser to find their page and then find the downloads and look for the right OS version

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

Installed W10 because free is free

#

Yeah I have heard of that functionality before

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

Microsoft can be best at everything
If only they listened to the right people

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

But hey, doing that prevents me from getting lazy

#

Not that I have any qualms with it

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

vv

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

the only problem that i have with my rpi is that the only battery i have for it claims its 4000mA but discharrges in like an hour when the rpi only draws like 1000

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:27 PM

#

oof

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:27 PM

#

lol

#

I run it on a 20000 mAh Power Bank
That's all

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

yeah i had a 10k but idk where it went, so ill probably get a bigger one soon

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

A power bank is good enough

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

and the 10k was actually 10k though, it worked so well

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

You lost it?

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

yeah

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

v

#

I love how my uncle got mad at his iPad Pro after he came back from the US lol
Those stuff I said before is what I said to my uncle

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

All the guides make the damn thing sound so complicated

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

guides for what?

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

Linux

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

like installing it or using it?

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

Using

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

i just treated it like windows and then looked up some shell commands

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

Like," installation files? What's that?"

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

link?

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

Eh I'm probably just being conservative

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:40 PM

#

basically i have never needed anything other than the apt-get stuff and some basic file commnads

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:40 PM

#

Hm.

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

some others that have more than just an rpi can probably tell you what you need to look at

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

Oh god

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:48 PM

#

when are we gonna get the rpi 4

#

tfw arm starts designing desktop cpus

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

@unborn flicker Your laptop has USB 3?

#

Try getting an Ethernet to USB adapter

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

~~my pc doesnt even have pcie 3~~

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

ok

#

Because it's Godly when done right

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

maybe rpi 4 will have seperate gpu for mor powa, though just an rpi 3 with more ram would be nice

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

I don't think it'll ever have one

#

Maybe a powerful SoC

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:00 PM

#

still dont know how my rpi does the things it does with only 1 GB ram

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

Well
It's not like more RAM is always necessary for a board worth $30~35

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

yeah but ive run out of memory before trying to do some neural network image processing

#

it didnt like that i gave it a physically impossible task

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:03 PM

#

Cortex-A57 based SoC with 2 GB RAM would be quality

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

i dont think they could keep it $35 could they?

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

If it's $50 then still good

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:05 PM

#

btw the impossible task was attempting to colorize b&w images

#

it kinda almost worked sorta

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:05 PM

#

Well then

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

but i did the algrithm wrong so it just hue shifted the whole image in the end, but it was close to the right hue

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

v

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 4:07 PM

#

Why does everyone here seem to have high end laptops

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:08 PM

#

I only had a 10 year old PC after going full 420 with money

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

This is my "high end" laptop

📎 20180808_221033.jpg

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

is that a Pi below?

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:10 PM

#

well its a pi but its on the back of the screen, the bottom part is just a block of wood and the hinge structure

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:10 PM

#

Ok

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 4:10 PM

#

oof

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:11 PM

#

i also gave it a fan, but the fan pulls so much power but it cools it so well so im conflicted

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:11 PM

#

I just put a bare heatsink v

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:12 PM

#

yeah i have a heatsink but doing the image processing it was getting up to 50 and while i know its meant for that, i just dont like it going past 40ish

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:13 PM

#

don't know why a watercooled 8700K can't get below 85 degrees with a 18% overclock lol

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

i remember attempting to auto overclock my fx 6300, and it went up to 4.408(.308 past its max boost) and then the BIOS refused to work

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:15 PM

#

The chip went nuts or wut?

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:15 PM

#

i just think it was unstable, we jumped the pins and then it worked fine when the OC reset

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

Good

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

am still using same processor

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

I hate jumpers v

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

my pc only has the processor and ram that i havent replaced

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

vv

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

but im gonna have to just get an entire new system cuz everything is a couple gens behind

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

Wut's your budget v?

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

0 right now cuz college

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

oh

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

yeah but i wont have to get a new PSU cua i still have my 750w beast from my old, twin power hungry ATI cards

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

ATI

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

yeah they were made in 2010 and both combined could probably have beaten a 980 easy

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:20 PM

#

Wasn't ATI bought out by AMD?

tame topaz Jan 25, 2019, 4:20 PM

#

And then it was unsupported.

#

They sucked ever since.

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:21 PM

#

no they supported it until 2015 when they dropped support for half the cards they were supporting

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:21 PM

#

vv

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

meanwhile nvidia still has support for the 2009 single slot card that i have

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

Yep

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

but this nvidia 950 that i have sucks, not power wise but like options wise, i cant do anything to its fan speeds normally, so i got msi afterburner to make it not overheat

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

950

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

oh it gets better, its made by PNY

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:24 PM

Well then
How long will it take to fry it?

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

hasnt fried for 3 years of constant use and a mobo swap

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 4:26 PM

#

I know I can fry it lol
Fried a GTX 1070 and somehow revived it as well

Also i might need some help with python cuz im trying to make a custom paint program

#

And i fear i will need help making it run faster with some of the things

subtle hawk Jan 25, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

sure thing

severe falcon Jan 25, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

One of the requirements i want is to do at least 5 point bezier curves, which is 10 calcs for several lines all in a precise loop

#

So i fear that it might get a little slow on my rpi if i try to make it update when i drag a point
