and I have a free MacBook Pro 13" mid-2012
well I mean at least it's free
I did a bit of a maintenance like cleaning and replaced a broken SATA cable so now it runs great with a SSD

tame topaz Mar 31, 2019, 5:47 PM

Then again the phones that have that much RAM would be the price of a PC with that much RAM as well anyway

Old MacBook good MacBook

compact cloud Mar 31, 2019, 5:47 PM

yes it still has ports and (wow!) a SD card reader

And some parts still user repairable

compact cloud Mar 31, 2019, 5:48 PM

plus it was really easy to repair
I even replaced the keyboard because old one was sooo dirty
but replacing the keyboard is a nightmare, there are like 50+ little screws to unscrew

subtle hawk Mar 31, 2019, 5:48 PM

yes newer Apple products suck, they are so hard to repair

tame topaz Mar 31, 2019, 5:49 PM

I bought my PC at a bad time and now I regret it like hell

#

1060s and Radeon cards go for absolutely dirt cheap now

new iMac, for example, is glued. so you risk breaking a screen which costs like half the price
even if you take it apart and then back together and use a wrong adhesive the screen is going to fall off and you're going to waste the precious money

tame topaz Mar 31, 2019, 5:50 PM

Oh well, I'll just stick around for 3rd gen Ryzen I suppose

tame topaz Mar 31, 2019, 5:55 PM

#

DD5 1030 on the other hand gets GTX 750 levels of performance

#

At drastically lower TDP

compact cloud Mar 31, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

lets be honest here
1030 isn't for gaming
if it's not, then why even bother buying it? integrated GPUs are decent enough for office work or similiar to that
GTX 1050 is the bare minimum for gaming IMO (if we're talking about relatively recent NVIDIA GPUs)

My scanner sometimes gets angry and decides that a missed staple wont stop it, i want to know just how much force it takes to rip a paper off a staple with only shearing force

subtle hawk Apr 1, 2019, 3:54 PM

@severe falcon wtf kind of scanner do u have

#

it should have a glass surface that prevents the scanning sensor from directly interfacing

severe falcon Apr 1, 2019, 4:00 PM

#

Its the kind that feeds the papers through, and it actively prevents multiple pages from going through with brake rollers and apparently it had a bad day so it kept the stapled stack in place and ripped the first page off and fed it through, then it pulled the entire stack and the multifeed sensor yelled at me

#

Its only done it once

I can't compress files

If Windows says that I have enough RAM to compress 9 gigs of photos with as minimal of RAM as possible then I should be able to do it

you understand that it's not just copying the files into memory

it has to do calculations

and if it's a normal program it should be able to do it with any amount of memory

...fak

#

the more cores u allocate

#

the bigger the overhead becomes

#

and if the photos are in a JPG/JPEG format you're not gonna achieve anything

#

as they are already compressed

#

I'm just gonna normal it then

Download WinRar and endure the infinite 40 day trial entyLUL

subtle hawk Apr 5, 2019, 7:03 AM

#

I used cracked version of it
By that I mean I install the official version
Then add rarreg.key to the installation directory

#

like I can use the most powerful algo in 7zip and have 9 gigs of JPG pics

#

the most I'll be able to shave off is 400 MB

#

give or take

#

In Normal

#

in ultra

#

And I'm doing that

#

as I said

#

JPG is already compressed

#

I'm doing PNG v

#

PNG is similar

#

Just less compressed

#

nope

#

it's just lossless compression

#

Now I need to upload this 9 GB archive to a cloud drive to share
RIP my internet for 2 hours

#

Or more

#

PNG uses the DEFLATE algo for compression

#

which is very efficient

#

with a compression ratio of about 3:1

#

unlike JPG which is a lossy format with a ratio of aprox 15:1

#

What is causing this?

Before i know that "S.I.P" process, i was like irritate because i keep seeing the CPU number on that process goes above 90%

#

Until i realise that this process didn't eat up my CPU usage...

#

I was dumb back in the day .-.

severe falcon Apr 15, 2019, 4:01 PM

Yeah i thought it wasnt actually eating cpu stuff but it was also like the only thing that wasnt reading 0 cpu usage

Ey , my budget gaming monitor arrive

📎 IMG-20190418-WA0013.jpeg

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 11:51 AM

#

32 inch

#

budget

#

wat

#

Meanwhile here I am stuck with a 22 inch with no freesync

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 2:22 PM

#

i dont even know what freesync is and my 2 monitors arent the same size or resolution

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

@severe falcon AMD adaptive V-sync

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

so it just changes the monitors refresh rate to the framerate of the game?

#

sounds like a good way to charge an extra $100 on a monitor when you could just check the V-sync box in the game options kek

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

Yeah but Freesync eliminates the stutter and input lag seen in normal Vsync

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

i have never seen stutter or input lag in v-sync, mainly cuz v-sync is supposed to NOT stutter

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

It does surprsingly enough

#

Man, you're really behind in this sorta thing.

#

Nvidia has something similar called G-Sync

#

And they just recently announced that FreeSync monitors will support G-Sync as well to the rejoicing of many

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

i mean just from reading what it does, i think ill just stay with my cheap monitor that already works perfectly fine

#

i mean if V-sync stutters, then theres a problem, cuz its literally made so it doesnt stutter or tear

#

also changing the monitor's refresh rate sounds like ALOT of extra tech in the monitor to do that

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 2:45 PM

#

Surprisingly enough it's said that Freesync doesn't require special hardware

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 2:46 PM

#

big doubt

#

really big doubt

#

cuz no monitor ive ever had could change its refresh rate

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 2:46 PM

#

Nvidia settings allows you to overclock your refresh rate essentially

#

Success rate varies.

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

but wouldnt that be for Nvidia monitors only then?

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

I have an HP monitor

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 2:48 PM

#

i mean if the monitor has the capability to have a potentailly higher refresh rate than normal, why wouldnt they advertise that and milk the money from calling it gaming and overclocked?

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 2:49 PM

#

Again

#

The manufacturers have no intent of having their monitors go up their intended refresh rate

#

So you can really risk borking it

#

And how is refresh rate related here?

#

It's just fancy Vsync

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 2:51 PM

#

cuz vsync syncs the frame output of the graphics card to the refresh rate of the monitor

#

120 fps on a 60hz monitor means you will still only see 60 fps but your monitor has twice the number of frames to choose to display

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 2:52 PM

#

I mean it depends on the card's capability too

#

Even at lower framerate it still won't tear

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 2:52 PM

#

the refresh rate of the monitor doesnt change though

#

if your monitor is 60 hz, then 60 frames are drawn to the screen regardless of fps, so what was all that about nvidia overclocking refresh rates?

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 2:53 PM

#

The hell did you get that from

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 2:54 PM

#

cuz thats how monitors work?

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 2:54 PM

#

No like the overclocking refresh rates part

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 2:54 PM

📎 unknown.png

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 2:55 PM

#

Yeah I said it myself but it's unrelated

#

It's only because you brought it up

#

"also changing the monitor's refresh rate sounds like ALOT of extra tech in the monitor to do that"

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 2:57 PM

#

well yeah cuz id assume the machine doing the work would need a modification to do more work faster, rather than plugging a cord into it and somhow overclocking it with a graphics card

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 2:57 PM

#

It's plug and play

#

The monitor isn't running a higher refresh rate with this, you're getting it wrong

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 2:58 PM

#

ah ok, i figured somewhere along the line one of us got it wrong and it was me lol

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 2:59 PM

#

People say that this kind of stuff does make the game noticeably smoother.

#

Funny enough it's one of the reasons people would go for AMD

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 3:00 PM

#

yeah, but imma stick with nvidia cuz AMD burned their own bridge with me

#

i had two 2010 ATi cards running crossfire and had to DOWNGRADE to a 950 back before the 1000 series existed

#

~~then i tried switching back after i stopped playing the games that they had problems with and bricked my mobo~~

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 3:18 PM

#

Holy FUCK that's some cheap Optane.

📎 S90419-2218121.jpg

#

Less than 13 bucks. Sign me the fuck up

#

I mean yeah I have an AMD system

#

But PrimoCache seems to work though

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

I think im becoming a computer boomer, cuz i have no idea what optane is

#

Then again im running like 2 gens behind on literally everything on my comp

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

@severe falcon Optane is Intel's proprietary caching solution

#

Can make hard drives run like SSDs

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 4:00 PM

#

Excuse me?

#

I think i need that but i run amd cpus sandyCry

#

I at least need it for my OS hdd, my game ones dont need to go much faster yet

#

Though i need to go back to walmart and see if i can find a crazy deal on a big hdd again and buy a couple

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

Though

#

Again

#

PrimoCache seems to work wonders

#

Specialized tool that can turn your SSD into a cache to make your hard drive blazing fast

#

60 day trial, after that it's 30 bucks

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 4:05 PM

#

Wait so you need an ssd for it to work?

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 4:05 PM

#

Yeah

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 4:05 PM

#

Wait its a monthy payment thing?

#

Def not worth 30 a month

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

No it's 30 forever

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 4:07 PM

#

Oh then thats not bad

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 4:07 PM

#

You can also configure it to cache to RAM

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 4:08 PM

#

But the requirement of having an ssd kinda defeats the purpose for my os drive, so i guess it would be for the larger drives

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 4:08 PM

#

Yeah it's to accelerate bulk storage mostly

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 4:08 PM

#

I need that once i can afford to do a new build

#

And then im gonna abuse walmart being stupid

#

That or amazon, whichever is more stupid

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

Though that said

#

If you're going AMD

#

Starting with B450 AMD also has its own "bulk storage acceleration" gizmo built in

#

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 4:12 PM

I have an AM3 fx-6300 and there is a ryzen with almost the exact same specs and with a good price so im looking at that one

#

Though i think the ryzen has hyperthreading so itll run even better

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 4:12 PM

#

I think you're looking at the 2600?

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 4:13 PM

#

6 core, 3.5 ish Ghz, boosts to like 4.0?

#

Whatever ryzen that is

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

Ah, that's the R5 1600X

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 4:15 PM

#

Lemme look on newegg and see which one i found

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 4:15 PM

#

You might as well consider holding off a few more months to see if third gen Ryzen is any good

#

From the leaks: very.

#

But we don't know anything quite yet. They'll announce more in Computex.

#

Computex's always a very exciting time

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

Well after looking at them i might aswell get the r5 2600x

#

Same price as 1600x on newegg

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

Leaks indicate third gen Ryzen 5 might get eight cores

#

So we'll see I guess

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

See but i dont care about best processor, i want bang for buck

tame topaz Apr 19, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

That's exactly what third gen Ryzen's looking to be

#

8 core for not much more than current R5

severe falcon Apr 19, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

Yeah but i dont really wanna go over $200 on a cpu

i think it works on chrome, but it defaults to ie so idk if ive ever tested

stone wave Apr 23, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

dont they make some pretty bonkers SBC nowadays

#

like that LattePanda

severe falcon Apr 23, 2019, 8:08 PM

#

i would be fine if rpi 4 was just an rpi 3 with way more ram

#

1 gb is rough

stone wave Apr 23, 2019, 8:08 PM

#

if they make a new pi where the ethernet and USB bandwidth isnt shared that'd be great

#

but for 30 bucks or whatever i ain't complaining

severe falcon Apr 23, 2019, 8:11 PM

#

also give it the smart power thing where it can tell the power source to give it more amps

not using bootcamp?

severe falcon Apr 24, 2019, 3:38 AM

#

Aria he first learned what VM meant like 10 mins ago when i told him

#

so if you wanna tell him how to do it, the go ahead cuz i have no clue

flint bobcat Apr 24, 2019, 3:39 AM

#

:jerry:

#

but i think using bootcamp is the easiest solution

#

easiest, but not information rich entyLUL

Ah

flint bobcat Apr 24, 2019, 4:12 AM

if ya really want to learn about vm, its good to go the hard way

arch linux was a tough one entyLUL

So my computer is in a limbo state, i accidentky hit shutdown so i spammed esc, which i think does nothing, but then i told my computer to sleep and it went to sleep.

#

Is it gonna wake up and then instantly shutdown?

subtle hawk Apr 24, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

maybe

#

just wake it up and let it do its thing

severe falcon Apr 24, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

well it woke up and didnt shut down so either putting it to sleep stops the shutdown or spamming esc actually worked

valid acorn Apr 24, 2019, 11:57 PM

#

@severe falcon If you pressed esc before the shutdown, the computer just forces to close all the apps (incl. background apps).

#

If you command it to sleep, it will just sleep

#

its just that you feel like to you just booted up your computer

severe falcon Apr 24, 2019, 11:58 PM

#

well it seemed like it woke up just fine, wasnt running slow like when it starts

#

and after spamming esc, it did have quite a delay before going from desktop to shutdown screen, cuz usually i wouldnt have enough time to shutdown and then hit sleep

valid acorn Apr 24, 2019, 11:59 PM

#

^ thats normal

#

I always accidentally shutdown my laptop whenever I dont want to

severe falcon Apr 25, 2019, 12:01 AM

#

i think my OS HDD is finally showing its age with how slow the startup is

valid acorn Apr 25, 2019, 12:15 AM

#

Yeah

#

How old is your computer/HDD?

severe falcon Apr 25, 2019, 12:16 AM

#

ram is oldest component aside from drives at 6 years, OS HDD is a 250 GB so idk how old

#

it was my uncle's old drive 6 years ago so who knows how old it could be

flint bobcat Apr 25, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

anybody knows the differences of the many fiber optic connectors?

#

like rc, rt, fc, etc.

subtle hawk Apr 25, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

what about them

#

@flint bobcat which ones do u need for the test

#

I'm guessing the 6 main ones

flint bobcat Apr 25, 2019, 5:50 AM

#

rc, rt, fc, mj-rj

#

there is more

#

but im wondering what;s the differences in them

#

like do they do something specific?

subtle hawk Apr 25, 2019, 5:52 AM

#

you mean sc, st, fc, mj-rj

#

nothing

most often you'll encounter lc, E2000 and t-sc

flint bobcat Apr 25, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

hm ok

subtle hawk Apr 25, 2019, 6:03 AM

#

@flint bobcat if you really care about the nitty gritty of it

#

the different connectors have different signal loss

#

and reliability

flint bobcat Apr 25, 2019, 6:04 AM

#

oh?

#

thats interesting

subtle hawk Apr 25, 2019, 6:05 AM

#

as well as ease of installation

valid acorn Apr 25, 2019, 8:39 AM

#

I've heard of a CAT 7 LAN cable

#

From a friend of mine

#

And I don't believe it, since the expensive LAN cable is CAT 6

#

Which is useless, cuz it doesn't really matter (unless you compare CAT 5 and 5e)

A laptop thermal throttling

#

Is pretty much gameover right?

subtle hawk Apr 26, 2019, 5:19 AM

#

you mean it's normal

#

because almost any laptop out there thermal throttles

stable sonnet Apr 26, 2019, 5:20 AM

#

is it thermal throttling on low intensity tasks or something?

shadow valley Apr 26, 2019, 5:23 AM

Yah probably

Idk

#

But I'd like to try to remediate it

#

I've heard that the 1060 max q throttles

#

But not on the 1050ti

subtle hawk Apr 26, 2019, 5:26 AM

#

they all do

#

especially if it's a thin laptop

shadow valley Apr 26, 2019, 5:27 AM

#

Its a unit

stable sonnet Apr 26, 2019, 5:27 AM

#

I would be concerned if its thermal throttling while you're doing simple tasks like browsing the web or something

shadow valley Apr 26, 2019, 5:27 AM

#

Under load

#

But not even extreme load

stable sonnet Apr 26, 2019, 5:28 AM

#

but if its doing it while under load I wouldn't be too surprised

tame topaz Apr 26, 2019, 5:28 AM

Is 80-ish while just browsing the web normal?

shadow valley Apr 26, 2019, 5:28 AM

My laptop (which is actually a hand-me-down work laptop from dad) seems to be hitting the shitter

#

It flat out disconnects from the internet within minutes of booting

#

No wifi networks show up

subtle hawk Apr 26, 2019, 5:30 AM

#

sounds like a driver issue

tame topaz Apr 26, 2019, 5:30 AM

#

And ethernet doesn't work either

#

It still shows that it's connected but it won't connect

#

Troubleshooting can't detect the issue

shadow valley Apr 26, 2019, 5:31 AM

#

Driver or the hardware for it

stable sonnet Apr 26, 2019, 5:31 AM

#

probably drivers

tame topaz Apr 26, 2019, 5:31 AM

#

So the drivers just suddenly go kaput?
