[echo oriole]

i think i'd go for the logitech one

[winter ingot]

Nice

It really has the aesthetics

Oh wow that Designer keyboard looks clean

doesn't look like it has alot of travel but I could be wrong

[echo oriole]

do you know what companies are good for memory cards?

like micro sd

[crude oxide]

samsung

[echo oriole]

isn't sandisk also a good one

[edgy vine]

I have a SanDisk one for my Switch and that's still trucking very well

[echo oriole]

i want to get one but i dont know which gb i should get

[plucky sinew]

depends on what it’s for? is it for a camera? for a phone storage? for switch?
128 gb is usually the sweet spot for most of those

[finite oxide]

sandisk makes great SD cards its true

late to the discussion

but i agree with alan 128 gb is usually the best for stuff like phone storage

[echo oriole]

maybe tablet/phone

[echo oriole]

im thinking of getting a 256 GB one lol

[craggy ridge]

sandisk and samsung are good for both sd and micro sd cards

i hate any other samsung storage device but sd cards are good

[plucky sinew]

what storage device u hate from samsung?

[craggy ridge]

ssd

terrible

overheats really really easily unless u have a god tier heatsink

[crude oxide]

never had any issues with their m.2 nvmes

[craggy ridge]

on most mobos theyre no issue if theyre a primary drive (first ssd slot)

if you have multiple ssd slots then thats when it becomes a problem

[crude oxide]

yeah i got two lol

970 evo 500gb as boot, 980 1tb as storage

[craggy ridge]

nice

[crude oxide]

reminds me i should probably get a nas together since i cant fit any 2.5/3.5 drives

[craggy ridge]

me and my friend had to replace a 970 evo around the same time (he bought one for me when he got one)

cause was heat issues

maybe it's just a defective batch

[crude oxide]

mines probably due a replacement since its like 5 years old at this point

[craggy ridge]

but never going back to samsung after that

[plucky sinew]

oh i have a samsung external ssd but its like constantly plugged in to my pc by usb and yeah it Does overheat

i don’t use a samsung nvme so i would not know but my internal ssd 870 evo is fine in temperature

[north gull]

Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005)

what do i do

i'm using torrent rt

15.42/15.42 Gb but it flashes that error

[winter ingot]

Ohshit

[north gull]

nvm that I got another torrent app

but now it's showing different shit

[north gull]

oh my gfod if ckdinfally did it

[plucky sinew]

anyone with an iphone knows how to make a shortcut that triggers an alarm when there is a notification from a specific app?

or anyone knows how to make iphone notification sound longer than 1 sec?

[marsh osprey]

Encountered an "update failed" loop in discord PC rn. Did all the solutions suggested in the internet (even the uninstall/reinstall), doesn't work...

EDIT: nvm it worked thx guys hehe

[winter ingot]

@civic ember let's do it here

damn I really need make this channel alive

[civic ember]

answering your question from music making forum: i wanna have the ssd to store all my projects and (maybe) have my hdd as backup

[winter ingot]

Uhuh

What ports can you spare to fit this SSD on your PC/laptop

USB-C or just standard USB 3.1?

[civic ember]

i have usb-c

[winter ingot]

Nice

[civic ember]

i'm on mac

[winter ingot]

Does it Thunderb-

[civic ember]

yes

[winter ingot]

Oh that's even better

[civic ember]

tb3 supported

im pretty sure

[winter ingot]

I'll recommend the Samsung Soap

aka T7 Shield

[civic ember]

got itt

i was looking at a few other ones as well

i was looking at the samsung t5 and the uhh sandisk extreme

[winter ingot]

Oh yeah Sandisk E30

That's on the cheaper side but the speed should suffice

[civic ember]

on paper the t7 and sandisk look pretty much the same

i think i might go with the t7 though

[winter ingot]

Oe?

I am seeing the read/writes on the E30 is 550MB/s

while the Soap is upwards a gig

[civic ember]

oh i'm looking at the e61

[winter ingot]

Oh ok

[civic ember]

still gonna go with t7 though from what i've seen i feel like it's more forgiving if i drop it or whatever

[plucky sinew]

anyone familar with how to combine m4s files to mp4 using ffmpeg

[fathom star]

hi tech support

[fathom star]

my phone's screen keeps freezing so i have to restart it whenever that happrns

and i do not why

i think it might be a hardware problem

my dad says it's a problem with touch sensitivity but i increased it and it didn't help

[fathom star]

could also be a software problem

or a bug!

[north gull]

how old is the phone

[edgy vine]

and what exactly is the phone - that might also us diagnose

[fathom star]

two years old

is a samsung galaxy a72

[winter ingot]

Honestly never used ffmpeg but I think in your case, a video editing program might help

[winter ingot]

Which gen of A72?

actually disregard that question

What I would do is the usual clear caches

Does OneUI has their own "cleaner" app?

[fathom star]

oneUI?

[winter ingot]

Samsung''s skin is called OneUI

ontop of Android

I prefer referring OEM specific Android OSes in their respective skin names

Samsung = OneUI

ASUS = ZenUI (although this is very old I think)

Xiaomi/POCO/Blackshark = MIUI

Huawei/Honor = EMUI (now HarmonyOS)

[finite oxide]

uhhh i dont think so?

there is a optimization section in the settings if that counts

[winter ingot]

Oh okay

I was kinda thinking about running processes because A72 is not a slow phone at all

So if there's an inbuilt optimization app that maybe could help if you run it a few times

[plucky sinew]

hi

[ashen arrow]

hi

[plucky sinew]

anyone running bluestack 5 with windows 11
do u know how to run it with core isolation and memory integrety turned on in secruity setting on windows??

[crude oxide]

i tried running nox on w11 and it required turning off memory integrity

so there probably isnt a way

[plucky sinew]

yeah at first it required me to turn on virtualization in the bios to get bluestack to work, but it turned off a security setting of mine, i guess its not a big deal to have memory interity off?

[crude oxide]

its an anti malware thing. if you're sure you aren't gonna click the hot singles in your area ads then you're probably fine

[plucky sinew]

I change my input device on discord settings

but when i test input, it won't give me a feedback, but i clearly see a spike in the input sensitivity bar when I speak

rn the default input is my laptop's inbuilt mic

that one works

[olive dune]

the test is kinda broken sometimes but if you see it spike up then it works

[proper sand]

mine wasn't working earlier so i just completely closed and reopened discord and it worked again

[north gull]

oh wtf

after switching my input device

i stop hearing audio from vc

[balmy gust]

are you using a headphone/earphone with mic? or just a stand alone microphone?

and is it connected through usb or audio jack?

[north gull]

bluetooth earphones

[balmy gust]

only discord vc has no sound?

like you can here music/youtube/windows sounds? or you can't hear anything at all when you change input device

or maybe vc sound still playing on your speakers? windows doo doo with like the default communications settings

[winter ingot]

Oh

Bluetooth?

Nah

(I don't know why the hell they didn't fix this yet on ANY BLUETOOTH REVISION THEY DO but)

Bluetooth isn't a fan of loopback

As in, you trynna hear back what you speak in realtime

Aka monitoring.

No, unfortunately as of now I do not know any Bluetooth audio device that can do that no issues

And the architecture itself is to blame

I dunno why but like for some reason they left the mic part out when they wanna improve on Bluetooth audio technology

It's always the playback sound perfomance

Like we got THREE aptX

the normal aptX, aptX HD, and aptX LL

Budget devices will only have either one or two

Expens ones will have all three

And then it goes back to your PC/mobile device's BT controller

It's.....such a minor thing they had to improve and URGGHHH

Anyway I am getting triggered

@north gull it's better if your input device NOT the Bluetooth earphones

Otherwise everything you'll hear next is 3G call quality

eh, just put it in uncooked rice for a while

[finite oxide]

they look like very comfy pillows im sure its fine

[civic ember]

jump on it i dare you

[proven sundial]

wtf happened to that

[fluid roost]

the lithium battery cells look like they swelled

probably 100% usable still as long as they take the batteries out and just use it plugged in

[proven sundial]

i didn't know that when they said batteries swell, that they actually like... expand

that's super spooky

[proper sand]

youve never heard of spicy pillows?

that battery in thatpicture is about ready to explode.

[winter ingot]

Lithium batteries can expand if they're having a bad day

That's an unfortunately common problem with them

If you ever had an old iPod nano (the long slender ones) they're one of the common culprits of battery swell

[proper star]

It has been nearly 2 years now

u guys have Lithium Ion battery or Lithium Polymer battery?

[olive dune]

how can you see this

Hot Take 🔥: Windows 8/8.1 was the best combination of nostalgia and modernity. It was neither bloated like windows 10 and neither too old designed like windows 7/xp. It had the modern flat design with the nostalgia of windows 7 in the perfectly balanced amount. The only issue was the over-focus on tablets

[olive dune]

this is a very hot take

[crude oxide]

win10 is not what i’d call bloated

[proper sand]

windows 8 is probably the most hated windows

[olive dune]

it's hated precisely because it's the inbetween, neither the old stuff or the new design were fully there so it was just inconsistent mess

[proper sand]

even more than vista

[proper star]

it's hater because of the Windows touch implementation

and the moment u take out the start button away from the screen everyone panics

but Windows Vista is also better than Windows 7

just people had low end PCs running it during that time

[olive dune]

aint no way you just said that 💀

[crude oxide]

vista being a piece of shit had more to do with microsoft changing how drivers worked, meaning basically nothing from xp worked on vista

windows aero was using gpu stuff that no one had but you got around that at the time by turning it off

[proper star]

Microsoft does announced the minimum system requirements atleast to run Windows Vista right?

[proper star]

Try to run it on your system now, it works perfectly fine. It has issues because it was different from the windows versions used at that time

[olive dune]

that's irrelevant no one is going to use windows vista on a modern computer

[proper star]

just an example

[weak root]

does anyone understand setting up JUnit in VSCode

works in eclipse but don't like eclipse theme

[balmy gust]

#1042534575936647168 maybe

[weak root]

i think i figured it out theres missing interface in vscode

[plucky sinew]

anyone know if there is a way to link a pdf or image so people can view it when clicking the link and i can draw on the image and the link updates?

i was gonna try goodnotes but that requires the other user to have that app

i was also gonna try google docs but i cant figure a way to draw on it, its mostly text based

[weak root]

does anyone know how to disable the little blue popup in the corner of discord desktop

its always like some "try out ..."

[edgy vine]

Google Jamboard maybe?

Dunno if it supports pdf import tho

[plucky sinew]

oh hmm ill look into it, pic is fine too

thk

[finite oxide]

dont think you can

[plucky sinew]

is there an app or something that makes copy and paste, to only paste one thing and not change at all?

or a way to make a short cut to only paste one thing or one specific sentence?

[winter ingot]

to only paste one thing and not change at all
Not sure how you mean by this but whatever get stored in your clipboard should not change at all.

[plucky sinew]

so like i want my paste to paste only a specific sentence and no matter what i copy, the paste will still paste that one sentence

[crude oxide]

so like you press one key combination and it only ever pastes that one string?

[winter ingot]

Only copy that specific sentence then

[crude oxide]

sounds like you want a snippet manager then

[plucky sinew]

yes

[crude oxide]

autohotkey could do it but youd need to write the macro yourself

[plucky sinew]

there isnt an app tthat can do that or?

[crude oxide]

a text expander is probably what youre looking for

im sure theres a bunch around

so like you could type "ln" and the app would expand it out to loonatheworld for example

[plucky sinew]

oh autohotkey IS the app

ahh ok

ill google that up thk u

[weak root]

yeah autohotkey can do so much for you

kinda confusing to learn

I have mine set up so on the US keyboard layout pressing dollar twice gets me £

can definitely set up some good stuff to get you what you need

[proper star]

Nearby share beta is available for Windows now

[edgy vine]

seems to work okay enough from my testing atm
I was using the newly thing edge drop feature until now but this way can work off just bluetooth and doesn't use up onedrive storage

[plucky sinew]

r there anyways to download all videos or gif if the tweet has multiple gifs and tweets in it?

[olive dune]

misobot

[plucky sinew]

it aint working again thats why i asked for an alternative

[olive dune]

guess you have to do it manually if the api stopped giving videos again

[plucky sinew]

yeah i dont know how to do it manually, usually when i save a photo from a tweet with multiple photos, i can right click each photo and itd give me a diffrent url, but with videos and gifs they give me the same url

[olive dune]

oh hmm maybe inspect element can find the source

[echo oriole]

some of my photos are corrupted

does anyone know how to fix them

[edgy vine]

Do you know in what way or how they were corrupted? Do they just not open when you try or does an error come up etc.?

[echo oriole]

its not exactly corrupted

[edgy vine]

we're probably gonna need a little more detail to help you 😅
Do you mean like noise in the image then? dead pixels, etc.?

[echo oriole]

It's dead pixels

Like half of the photo is seeable

And the other half is not

[plucky sinew]

where is ur photos stored?

have u tried opening ur photos with a different program or device

[plucky sinew]

ok i tried inspecting element, im not finding anything or i just dont know how to use it properly

[edgy vine]

Sources tab could help too?

[proper star]

This pic is a nightmare every PC users go through, because one power cut is enough to ruin your day unless you have a UPS to backup

Enough to satisfy that the update was successful

Btw is it possible to install vBIOS for Legion laptops?

[winter ingot]

@dull scaffold only Chrome?

[dull scaffold]

nah other browsers too apparently

[winter ingot]

Okay uh

That dot should represent "space"

Or something else I forgot

But we treat it as special character for now

[near meadow]

aha! someone made an oopsie on the title but i would blame yt if that is not an actual emoji

[dull scaffold]

yeah im guessing its a space they didnt remove or something

[winter ingot]

I remember fixing this in Windows

[dull scaffold]

or maybe it logged alt gr as a character when they were switching kayboards

[winter ingot]

Maybe

[dull scaffold]

thats happened to me before in android studio

[winter ingot]

Do you have "Segoe UI Symbol" in your system?

Eh wait what am I kidding

That's Roboto

Hmm

Oh damn

Yeah that's not a system font but is a system issue

Sorry lefal I might be stumped

[dull scaffold]

yeah its not a big deal ill figure it out later

my system is on utf8 so it is a bit weird

[winter ingot]

I know I fixed this because we had to deal with my client's Microsoft Word showing boxes in places and it drove them crazy

[winter ingot]

Question

[sick river]

Tech support

[winter ingot]

Is it a bad idea to introduce a person who has no prior mech experience, XDA format?

Little context, this person has been using standard flat office keyboard all their life

Am thinking they deserve an upgrade

They also graduated from Oita University, so I was like, imma build them a mech with Japanese caps

Thing is, the barebones kit I could find within an acceptable price range is only north-facing so goodbye GMK/Cherry caps

But then, all the Japanese prints are either GMK, Cherry or non-standard profiles

So like

We're talking basic productivity flow, I don't want to give them an upgrade that they cannot use simply because the XDA or CSA layout is too foreign to them

@craggy ridge @olive dune

I am also not gonna change the board layout, they have been using full size ANSI, they should also receive full size ANSI, the transitioning should be seamless

[craggy ridge]

i have a full size cherry i like the feel of

also a cherry 60%

never really used anything other than cherry before

i have typed on an xda before tho and it sucked

i think logitech uses sa on some of their keyboards?

maybe its dsa

[winter ingot]

I see

I am trying to keep everything familiar, so either flat or OEM

But the Japanese caps are mostly Cherry, so far from what I can search at my local marketplace

I will also say that I have never experienced the "Cherry interference" since I've come to like OEM, but I am gonna go out of a whim and say, if it is your daily tool of productivity, it's gonna annoy you

[olive dune]

full size xda is gonna be so weird

[near meadow]

not really needing much technical support but just want an opinion on this. i removed the phone case from my old galaxy s10... trying to clean some dirt and saw that the side is a bit lose and i suspect it's battery expanding already

which explains the crappy battery life... should i replace it real soon or can i delay it for a month

budget vs usability i guess

[echo oriole]

what phone do you use currently?

if you have a current phone you use, then you could delay it?

[proper sand]

if you suspect a spicy pillow its always best to replace ASAP if you can

[balmy gust]

yeah that's a fire hazard

also by an old galaxy s10, you mean you've been not using it for a while, then this has been a known issue on samsung phones when they're stored and not used; the batteries expand

[echo oriole]

thats scary

[near meadow]

same phone s10 the bloating battery

[echo oriole]

oh, then definitely do it asap

[near meadow]

hmm i guess. better to spend now than have something troublesome in the future

[near meadow]

no i mean it's an old phone had it since release of s10

never had the chance to replace

ok i guess i'll go get something this weekend

thanks for the suggestions

[balmy gust]

yeah better get that checked either way

[fluid heron]

someones trying to brute force my acc with the 7 digit logins i think haha

i used to get 1 every so often but thats 8 while i was sleeping

[crude oxide]

see if your email comes up in haveibeenpwned

could be a new leak

[fluid heron]

most recent was the twitter one

other than that not since 2020

[crude oxide]

my spam is riddled with crypto stuff since the gemini leak

at least gmail catches it all

[fluid heron]

this isnt my spam currently

but it may end up there haha

im considering switching to a password manager for security

[crude oxide]

you dont use one already?

[fluid heron]

but i know one of them got hit so idk

[crude oxide]

ya dont use lastpass

i swapped to 1password

[fluid heron]

ah cool

i have an offer from nordpass

works out a little cheaper than 1password

[fluid heron]

how long is the setup with adding everything

[crude oxide]

uh that depends

what do you use now?

[fluid heron]

i dont have one currently kek

[crude oxide]

it would probably be easier to log out of everything

then log back in

and let it prompt to add to the manager

[fluid heron]

ah good idea

[crude oxide]

but then you should probably also change all your passwords to random ones

which is like 90% the point of using a manager

[fluid heron]

yep

[crude oxide]

i think 1password is only paid if you want to use mobile sync? i dont remember

[fluid heron]

i can get my account list from google so i'll just go through

[crude oxide]

im thinking about getting a yubikey too

since i have work stuff in mine

[fluid heron]

[fluid heron]

ok nord has a decent procedure for updating

[fluid heron]

all done

3 more attempts into my microsoft while i was doing that

[near meadow]

there's an offline password manager one where you can decide where to store the database

at work we use keepass at home i have keepassxc

then i store the password db in cloud like my onedrive so any changes gets synced to my phone as well

in case you don't trust online password managers

[olive dune]

use bitwarden its free and open source

[near meadow]

conscript reporting! upgraded as soon as i had the chance and traded in my old phone with what i suspect to be a spicy pillow

had a good deal for the trade in even tho it's got a missing power button and back case a tiny bit open (220 usd discount for the new phone)

[echo oriole]

What new phone did you get?

[near meadow]

s23+. paying with installment so the future me needs to work hard

would have settled for just s23 but i was surprised with the discount with the trade in

[sick river]

i rmbr when the s23 + first came out

i was looking at the us store

they were having an insane deal

basically the same price to get a s23+ as it was to get an s23

during the preorders

[echo oriole]

i want the s23 ultra :/

[plucky sinew]

@winter ingot do u know how to crop a sequence or a video without having black bars/area in priemere pro?

[winter ingot]

Set sequence target resolution first

Then crop under that

What aspect ratio are you trying to achieve?

[plucky sinew]

say something like this, the original video is like 1080x1920p
but u want to get rid of the black area and just crop that scene out, but u dont know what resolution it is

[winter ingot]

Oh

That's 16:9 confirmed

Just scale the clip

And then X Y transform it

[plucky sinew]

scaling only works if its landscape though, what if the clip is vertival

[winter ingot]

Original source is horizontal?

[plucky sinew]

like if it’s something like this, u can’t really scale to fit

can u?

[winter ingot]

Target aspect ratio?

[plucky sinew]

how would u do that?

[winter ingot]

It all depends on your target size

You want it to do that non standard square or to use the usual vertical 9:16

You have to set that first

[winter ingot]

If I eye it that's a 4:5

[plucky sinew]

ohh u can only guess?

[winter ingot]

Or you can math it

Depends

[plucky sinew]

why doesn’t priemere pro just have crop tool

[winter ingot]

I used 4:5 because that's what I see

So your sequence size should be 1280x1600

[winter ingot]

Because people do not export non standard crops

That'll break certain web players

And native video players

Standards are there for a reason, you can't just magically edit in 1280 x 1600 without having problems with legacy hardware

Of course, in today's terms that's irrelevant

But in the world of video, it doesn't make sense

[plucky sinew]

yeah the thing is i usually just keep changing the sequence settings to like 900 or 950 or 948, and just having to keep chaning untill it crops decently,but i feel there has to be an easier way

[winter ingot]

It's non standard

If you want a perfect non standard crop that's the struggle you have to face

[plucky sinew]

cause the image is. not standard

oofff

no other video editor that can crop better?

[winter ingot]

Ok before that

What you see right now, the original, is a simple rectangle mask

As such, there's the empty space for the editor to add on screen captions

That crop with the all the empty area is pretty easy to do

[winter ingot]

Now, I am assuming you want it to work like a photo editor?

Just shrink?

[plucky sinew]

yeah it’s easier to crop that way

[winter ingot]

The whole MPEG, AVI, DIVX, Quicktime standard etc would like a word with you

[plucky sinew]

turn this to this

[winter ingot]

You're basically breaking a number of video codec umbrella by requesting variable resolution while stream

It's just technically impossible

In short, no video editor would allow you to do that

Because that would break the rules

Video editing is but an endeavour

Marginally different world we talking here

So again, yes, you have to face the struggle

[winter ingot]

To get this, as I said, use my recommendation or math it out

[winter ingot]

I can actually explain why this is the case, if you are curious

[near meadow]

random but just in case anyone encounters it, i have a logitech mx master 2s connected using logitech unifying receiver and i started downloading a game on my switch, suddenly this kills the connectivity of my mouse and i think they're both using the same frequency which causes interference

tldr: downloading something on my switch causes lag/stutter on my logitech wireless mouse

[crude oxide]

change your switch to 5ghz wifi

assuming it/your network supports that

[near meadow]

it should. lemme try

i see that the issue is my 5g wifi is in control channel 149 which is not available for switch. is there a possible issue if i bump it down to 48?

[crude oxide]

should have an auto mode, no?

i dont actually know further than switching to 5ghz since 2.4 is congested

my pc gets like half its wifi speed on 2.4

[near meadow]

it has auto but it's currently 149 right now on my wifi, switch auto connects to 2.4 since the channel is lower than 149. i'll try experimenting later dropping the channel number

[proper sand]

you might have to re-add the network to your switch

as if it were a new network

[near meadow]

it auto connects to 2.4 even if readding. it's due to the channel being 149 for 5g so switch cannot detect it

[winter ingot]

For god sake I cannot find OEM japanese keycaps

So I want to solve this the other way

Paper Mod vs Washers vs Orings

Help me pick which

@olive dune @balmy gust

[olive dune]

solve what

[winter ingot]

Cherry cap interference

[balmy gust]

Guess the interference yeah

[winter ingot]

Literally all listings that I found are Cherry

I just need Japanese legends no fancy colour schemes

[balmy gust]

Honestly just get long pole stemmed switches lmao

[winter ingot]

That's actually what I was considering

I looked at Akko's

But their actuation force was hilariously low

[olive dune]

interference with what

leds?

remove leds

[balmy gust]

never really still tried cherry profile caps so I really can't make much comment on modding this

[winter ingot]

Caps

and housing

[olive dune]

wtf kinda keyboard doesnt work with cherry caps

[winter ingot]

North facing barebones board

See yes I can get south

But south is outta stock

I called the vendor "yo when's south full size comin" he replied "what are you, amateur"

BRO I AM that's why I am asking

[olive dune]

💀

what

i'd buy somethign else

[balmy gust]

swap to stronger springs. new mod unlocked

[winter ingot]

Within my budget, not that much

This build is for someone else

I think I explained it here but I want the transitioning from a standard office rubberdome to this build I am giving them a seamless transition

That's why I was so laser focused with OEM caps

Kits that I have found full size are all north facing

No issue there

The problem is the caps

[olive dune]

your problem is full size

[winter ingot]

I have found so many listing, but guess what, NONE of them are OEM

[balmy gust]

yeah, easiest bet for budget japanese legend keycaps are xda clones. but i really wouldn't recommend those unless you're used to flat keyboards like from laptops

I am not changing layout, this is meant to be someone elses

Like I said, 100% seamless transition, almost nothing should change from how they use their keyboard normally at work, except feel and look

WOB or BOW caps are much preferred, but OEM

i would try to convince them with a tkl lol

[balmy gust]

I think putting any extra small metal in your switches would make a high pitch sound, so gotta think about that with ball bearings/washers

[winter ingot]

Think a more viscous lube will remedy that

[winter ingot]

Oh wait no, not in the switch

in the keycap hole, according to this guide

[balmy gust]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/70om2d/modification_the_ball_bearing_mod_reducing_travel/

it's in the switch poles, it's still gonna be plastic hitting metal balls

[fluid heron]

has anyone got the s23?

[echo oriole]

nope, but i want it!

you're thinking of getting it?

[near meadow]

just got mine after the suspected spicy pillow of my previous s10

s23+ tho not the smaller brother

btw anyone use vlc to play 8k av1 files from youtube? i upgraded my video card and was testing stuff like games and playing 8k videos to see what changed and for some reason only vlc cannot play 8k av1 formats

playing the video in firefox is smooth, playing with window's new media player also works smoothly

[echo oriole]

how is it?

[near meadow]

maybe because it's brand new but it's great. slept with 100% battery woke up with 92%. i don't play games on it so just general apps but it's snappy. locked on 1 resolution so that's something to note

[echo oriole]

camera is good or nah?

[near meadow]

no more exynos in 23s afaik so it's probably why it's more power efficient. snappy as it is

camera is always ok but for that i think you need to compare on the reviews in yt. for me i'd say it's pretty good

[echo oriole]

oh

i need a good phone camera for the twice concert 🤣

[near meadow]

ah that... s23 ultra i heard is good. there's that one video of a girl group fansign i forgot who

and you'd think they're like only 20 meters away but they're aaaaaall the way to the back

[echo oriole]

oh

[near meadow]

except for the fake moon thing s23 ultra is really impressive it seems

[echo oriole]

thinking of getting it if i find a job

[near meadow]

ah it was newjeans minji zoom

[echo oriole]

oh

cool

[near meadow]

it was this but i swear i saw the gif version in twitter or something

[echo oriole]

oh cool

[near meadow]

anyone using hwinfo to track the cpu gpu temps?

I have it and im a bit confused cpu tctl is way higher than mobo cpu readong

[crude oxide]

i use msi afterburner but i have used hwinfo

screenshot it

[near meadow]

which one is correct? although now it's kinda similar but earlier before i reapply the thermal paste there's a difference

still the tctl is higher

is it fine to just refer to the mobo one or should i care about the top one

[crude oxide]

theyre different values https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/9drxgs/hwinfo64_cputctl_or_cputdie/

youre probably fine just referring to the motherboard sensor

[near meadow]

ok. somehow i have a crappy setting of the cpu / cooler / thermal paste earlier and it keeps idling at 70 tctl

[crude oxide]

yeah i need to clean my dust filter, started peaking high again

[near meadow]

blue screen happened and i went and reseated everything and reapplied

[crude oxide]

just opening chrome makes it jump to 75 and fans ramp up

[near meadow]

crazy

ok i'll keep the tctl graph then thanks!

[exotic pumice]

wanting to buy a new laptop. don’t know much about this topic, should i go macpro or an asus?

[echo oriole]

What would be more useful

And what operating system are you more familiar with

[exotic pumice]

want sth fast that could manage video editing programs and music production softwares

operating system wise hmm any

[echo oriole]

Macpro

Macpro is your best choice

[exotic pumice]

m1 would do the trick or should i go for m2?

[echo oriole]

Idk

I don't have a Mac

Depends on your budget

@winter ingot

Which chip would be better?

[near meadow]

video editing, there's final cut pro for mac and davinci resolve (free) for windows

dunno about music production stuff but i'm sure both have it as well

so you might want to consider other things like are you gaming as well? mac has less games so points for windows on that. but if you already have iphone or is invested in apple ecosystem then mac is better

[sick river]

Yea most daws work in mac, logics pretty good from the short amount of time I've used it

[winter ingot]

4k?

I mean do you edit 4k?

[exotic pumice]

yes i do

[winter ingot]

M1 Pro and up

16GB unified memory

or up

Sounds like overkill but I assume if you're handling footages from camera with intricate RAW/Logs that should be enough headroom

BUT

You must get a Thunderbolt hub

Any model you gonna buy, you're gonna run out of IO quick

Especially if you do a hybrid home desk setup

aka connecting with multimonitors, actual peripherals and NAS/DAS

[exotic pumice]

much appreciated @winter ingot

[near meadow]

i have like g skill tridents and i wanna try overclocking them. when i use xmp profile 1 on my msi mobo it's not really stable and keeps crashing my game. i tried to manually pump more voltage to 1.4 but suddenly pc won;t boot so i reset my bios

any easy way to overclock? is using memory try it good?

[crude oxide]

whats your cpu and motherboard

xmp is by design meant to "just work"

[near meadow]

ryzen 7 5800X and msi mpg x570 gaming plus

[crude oxide]

whats the specs on the ram

[near meadow]

ohh let me pull up the cpu z specs

[crude oxide]

so its running at 2100mhz rn which is probably stock

do you know what the kit is rated for?

[near meadow]

yup now it's stock since i just reset the bios earlier

[crude oxide]

iirc there should only be the options that the ram supports but im not 100% on that

[near meadow]

should be 3200 but let me find the box

says ddr4 3200 8gbx2

[crude oxide]

8x2?

[near meadow]

cl16-18-18-38 1.35v

[crude oxide]

you have 32gb

[near meadow]

yes

[crude oxide]

8x4 should be in quad channel, i think?

not dual

[near meadow]

oh did i mess up?

[crude oxide]

idk either way, are you sure its the ram causing issues when set to 3200?

ah nvm the motherboard only supports dual channel not quad

[near meadow]

when i bought these i didnt think about it but there's 4 sticks all the same stuff, and all of it populated the 4 slots

[near meadow]

i tried memory try it feature on the mobo and selected the one for 3200

[crude oxide]

there should be an option to just set xmp to 3200

shouldnt need to do the try it feature

[near meadow]

but maybe because i ramped up the voltage the same time it didn't load so i did not know which one broke it

[crude oxide]

yeah you shouldnt be touching the voltage

the whole point of xmp is that it just works lol

[near meadow]

ok let me try it. so xmp manually setting it to 3200. i used the auto xmp thing where there's only 2 profiles

profile 1 and 2 and 2 is supposedly the hardcore gamer thing and 1 for enthusiasts

1 is ok but crashes games

[crude oxide]

are you referring to "a-xmp"?

[near meadow]

yes that one

that was the first one i did

[crude oxide]

like this

[near meadow]

i set mine to profile 1 and it's ok if not gaming

[crude oxide]

ya thats probably why, your kit isnt meant for oc

3200 is like baseline gaming stuff, oc is like 4400mhz stuff

the baseline kits arent rated for doing much more than xmp

[near meadow]

oh then should i just do what you mentioned like xmp select 3200 and leave it alone?

[crude oxide]

yea

[near meadow]

ok let me try

thanks

[crude oxide]

i would check my own bios but yours is newer

mine just has a simple dram xmp setting

[near meadow]

i don't see where you can pick the xmp profile for 3000 3100 3200 etc so i went with a-xmp again but profile too since it just says 3200 which is the clockspeed i wanted anyways

trial with aida64 is over so i guess imma test with the game itself

[crude oxide]

keep hwinfo or something up while you do

see if the frequency is stable

[near meadow]

looking good so far. the profile one just crashes 2 mins into the game

thanks!

never bothered with RAM previously i just add them and leave it. the only thing i've overclocekd was the cpu because when something goes wrong i can always go to the bios. ram takes more effort to reset

[storm shore]

i've had this one problem with my monitors not connecting on startup making me have to restart my pc 2/3 times till it works. when waking up from sleep it always works fine.
today though, ive been messing with cables and just force shut down my pc many times till it finally turned on now. never been able to figure out why. u could say gpu, but no. i just noticed that i think it is with all my peripherals during those moments

oop i just blue screened havent had one in a very long time

it restarted after blue screen just to get another 3x in a row. now i just shutted it down. intresting...

[balmy gust]

maybe try booting in to safe mode to check if any of your drivers are wonky

[storm shore]

checked properties on everything with warning icons in device manager, but it is all just because of safe mode so should be good.
just gonna leave it in safe mode without network and see if it shuts down later on its own.
before i did this also disconnected power and just held the button for a minute

[near meadow]

we have the same thing. my monitor doesn't wake up immediately on boot and I think that's because of the display port

if you use the hdmi port it should respond faster

[storm shore]

nah i left it once for hours and it still wouldnt work. and it is all peripherals not just the monitors i only noticed today

[near meadow]

do you mean it's not really about the startup it just never works sometimes?

not sure about that then but my monitor is like the tuf one and it's plugged to the displayport and most of the time it won't wake up until it reaches windows

[storm shore]

yeah nothing just works no matter what until i force restart by holding power button

turned it on mormaly left it now for 10 mins untouched and looks good for now. gonna leave it like this till after dinner which is prob another 2hours.

[storm shore]

hmm, it seems battle net has lost the location of my game files of the client while all seem to still be installed

twitch.tv frequently needs a reload now, discord keeps restarting itself. idk what happening now

okay blue screened againg. it was fine during the 3 hours i left it behind, but moment i do stuff it crashes and now it just keeps repeating blue screens

[near meadow]

have you tried a different monitor just to see if it's really something in the pc?

[storm shore]

i am using 2 and it is both including my headser, mic, mouse and keyboard. no peripberals been working. i just did some optional windows updates, uninstalled some games, reinstalled my gpu drivers. now i played for an hour with no blue screen so hopefully it got fixed. although the problem ive been having for years on startup still exists. rn fixing blue screen is priority. if it happens againg ill put in my old ram and see if that is the issue.

[storm shore]

reinstalled drivers againg, underclocked gpu.
ive got red flashing light on case and cant find it meaning online. it is all just saying hdd activity, but mine has nothing to read nor have i seen this light before

[balmy gust]

did you rewire the case cables?

[storm shore]

no

havent looked inside

[storm shore]

checked inside everything is properly connected. also cleaned it up, but it was already fairly clean

[balmy gust]

i just thought that the led pins weren't connected before and you rewired things lol. 'cause you said you haven't seen those hdd leds before.

[storm shore]

ped light was blinking red. never seen it lit up before. it was already wired

only dont have my disk drive connected. no use for it

[balmy gust]

but yeah, i would have suggested to actually full re-install the operating system if the problem persists, especially if you don't have extra hardware to switch things up for troubleshooting

[storm shore]

am confident my hardware is fine. if anything it would be the ram, but dont believe it. tried getting the blue screen againg earlier but it didnt happen. trying to avoid reinstalling os and swapping ram.

[balmy gust]

I kinda read though that those led lights would generally light up, for whichever kind of storage you have(not just for hdd), so it was kinda weird you never saw it light up before

[storm shore]

idk. what ppl said it all sounds harmless so no clue

[balmy gust]

that's good progress then, i would say drivers must have really just when nuts, if even your peripherals don't work on start up.

[winter ingot]

Lake do you remember the stopcode?

[storm shore]

i got all screenshots

[winter ingot]

I think you're experiencing update fragmentation

[balmy gust]

or could be windows isn't properly shutting down, 'cause you said it doesn't happen when you use it from sleep

[winter ingot]

Oh the chance of it happening is greater when it was from a cold boot?

[storm shore]

it only happens on cold boot

[winter ingot]

Aha

Alright

[storm shore]

past year i have always used sleep and only shut down once a week for the sake of it

[winter ingot]

Does your board has onboard hardware diagnostics?

[storm shore]

mobo u mean? idk

[winter ingot]

Check

I think I may have experienced it on someone else's machine before

[storm shore]

just cleaned it with compressed air. waiting for it to soak in for a bit just incase

[winter ingot]

I am trying to rule out occasional loose cable

[balmy gust]

lmao i love windows. i do this before, now i tend to shut down my system 'cause my audio drivers go doodoo when i use my system from sleep

[winter ingot]

Which happened to another employee at my place

[storm shore]

higher chance for it to happen than not on cold boot. ussualy i only needed to force shutdown once or twice till it connected

it even happend with my old windows and hardware years ago

[winter ingot]

Hmm

That's true

But this frequent of a BSOD on cold boot mostly always from fragmented update

System Restore is running as usual?

[storm shore]

oh yeah this bsod is only since yesterday

[winter ingot]

Then an update happened

[storm shore]

probably because i force shut it down many many times

[storm shore]

this is?

i tested my drives and ram with cmd tests and the windows diagnostic thing. nothing from that

[winter ingot]

As in do you keep it doing restore points?

Actually that's a wrong question

Do you have a previous restore point?

[storm shore]

dont got spare drives to make a back up on

[winter ingot]

Nono that's not related to a drive backup

This is more versions and settings restore point

[storm shore]

never made one if it is done manually?

[winter ingot]

Oof

I mean usually if a program grants a registry modification

It should prompt to do a restore point

Have you encountered that prompt?

[storm shore]

never heard of it

[winter ingot]

Damn

Hmmm

Well

I really do try to avoid an OS reinstall

[storm shore]

is this a thing?

[winter ingot]

OH SHIT

Yes do that

See, there was a restore point

[storm shore]

it do be 8 months old

[winter ingot]

But before that

Eh?

[storm shore]

oh no nvm

[winter ingot]

No that's 2 days ago

[storm shore]

that is yesterday evening

[winter ingot]

Oh

[storm shore]

it is not old enough actually

[winter ingot]

So like

before the BSOD happened?

[storm shore]

it shows 9 pm

is not old enough

seems to have a 3day older one aswel

might wait to see if bsod happens againg now im on pc before doing this

[winter ingot]

Do the 8 June

[storm shore]

okay yeh ill just do it

[storm shore]

using a msi mpg x570 gaming plus. idk if it has one

read it takes 30-45mins, but that was quick

hmm, google chrome wont open, but every single other thing ive pressed on does

[winter ingot]

Any other browser in your PC?

[storm shore]

edge works fine

[winter ingot]

In the case of Chrome, think that got into the mess, reinstall should fix it granted you don't have 50 extensions installed

[storm shore]

my extensions

think bookmarks are account saved

[winter ingot]

Bookmarks are indeed account saved

[storm shore]

might aswel try out opera instead

[fluid heron]

Firefox!!!!

Firefox the goat

[near meadow]

i tend to avoid like early access upgrades in the OS just incase it's buggy it might kill my files or something

also i'm using the free macrium reflect to have something for a quick restore. it's similar to system restore but you can program it to be differential or a full backup

eg. full back up on sunday, your pc crashes today tuesday but you need the files you had monday as well, you restore the full backup plus you restore the differential from monday

[echo oriole]

hi, does anyone know how i can move my apps from my phone to my sd card?

[echo oriole]

also

my laptop keyboard has something stuck

in one of the slots and now its making weird nosises

[winter ingot]

Not possible since Android 7

[winter ingot]

Safest way is to open it up and remove the obstacle manually

[winter ingot]

Headscratcher moment

Whatever I do it just won't go past 0.78GHz

BIOS didn't say anything about CPU speed change

[balmy gust]

Probably the same problem you're having (same CPU): https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/laptop-i5-6300hq-cpu-suddenly-underclocking-stuck-at-0-78-ghz.2949019/
More detailed troubleshooting on a different cpu: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1274526-processor-speed-is-stuck-at-078ghz/

i'd try checking hwinfo first though if your cpu is actually throttling or not

[winter ingot]

This laptop is a rescue so I would suspect it's throttling if it's already hot

But the fans ain't spinning either

Turned power mode to best performance

I'll try doing some benchmarks see if that forces it to clock up

Probably starting with Unigine Heaven

Bro the fans did not move

I dunno what I did wrong, this is a fresh OS install

jeez

these frames

This laptop is pretty midrange for its time so if I can use it, I might as well use it as a main editing machine

It has better CPU, 6200U vs 6300HQ

No dGPU vs GTX960M

GTX960M

When I was a student I can only dream having this GPU

[balmy gust]

yeah probably a hardware issue. from what i read it's most likely a motherboard sensor issue, if it really isn't throttling from lack of airflow and cooling from the dead fans

[winter ingot]

Oh

I think I solved it

The battery is completely busted so rn it's on AC power

Something about Dell doing funky shit with power management

[winter ingot]

Yuh

I found a temporary solution that works

Throttlestop

Now fans spin

[winter ingot]

Alright

There's development on the laptop

After a few Windows updates, the CPU speed capping seems to have gone

And my battery somehow...works?

Like it charges

I am really getting lucky with this laptop despite it being a rescue

[winter ingot]

The keyboard is pretty awful feeling tho, I hate typing on these

[winter ingot]

@iron pendant how do I get the Android Subsystem again?

[iron pendant]

as in, getting the Google Play Games or the other way?

[winter ingot]

Probably both

[winter ingot]

Samsung

Irfan

he ded

[winter ingot]

I said Samsung

[clear fox]

huh

[winter ingot]

Samsung makes SSD

[clear fox]

no i mean

there must be some specification right

[storm shore]

depends on what the laptop can fit. besides that faster is always better

[clear fox]

ah

mine is an HDD with an SSD slot

so do i just get any random 2.5 inch ssd

[near meadow]

get a good one at least not just a random one 2.5 is cheaper than m.2 if you wanna save money

[winter ingot]

Need your CPU model

Full number

[clear fox]

how do i get that

[winter ingot]

System Information

[clear fox]

which is where

[winter ingot]

...

in System Information

Win + S

Type that

[winter ingot]

3200MHz max

However

And this is something you have to check

Can it fit DDR4L

DDR4 will run it no problem

[clear fox]

how do i do that

[winter ingot]

But say your only option is a DDR4L, you must check with your motherboard manufacturer

[winter ingot]

A specialist on site (aka you brought it to shop) will tell you immediately

[clear fox]

ah shit

[winter ingot]

But if you wanna look it up, try to find the correct board number for your country, because every country manufacturing code is different so in the case of Dell, you have to find an exactly similar Dell board number

[clear fox]

Too smol brained

[winter ingot]

Slight changes in the last digit can change everything

[clear fox]

is there a big difference if i go for 2666 instead of 3200

[winter ingot]

My laptop came with stock DDR3, and nowhere online said I can do DDR3L, until a specialist checked it

[winter ingot]

Can't say, never used either

But I imagine the increase is not that big

Most sources online do say the L designation is for low powered and that's true

But I've stumbled upon machines that do not boot because the stick was DDR3L instead of DDR3

anyone have a suggestion for a decent pc speakers? just enough to hear music in a room but not have neighbors complaining?

[winter ingot]

Take a look at Edifier R1280B

or the Edifier R33BT

I'd say bookshelf speakers are the best PC speakers you can have

Without going overkill

You could also go for a 2.1 setup and dial the sub to your liking

[near meadow]

thanks i'll list those down as well

@winter ingot (ik youre probably asleep but ping for visibilty)
recs for iem cables that dont break the bank? i dunno which ones are the scams

the cable that came with my kzs seems to have broken

[winter ingot]

Aight I am not asleep anymore lmao

Hmm

Actually first party KZ cables should be your choice to ensure compatibility

But if you wanna venture, first you have to check if your 2 pin format is 0.75mm or 0.78mm

Once you confirm that, you can look through the marketplace for anything that has 4-core or above

You should probably avoid this one tho

i.e. ones that tangle/made like this

But this is more personal preference, I don't like this type because they tangle too much

I'd look for something like this

[winter ingot]

This doesn't mean ones that look like this aren't available for higher quality

so its probably a slightly newer revision or they use a different oem for it

yeah i think the only difference is the colour

[clear fox]

Oh i didn't even notice the colour

[dull scaffold]

they have the same retail price, one of them just has a better deal

[clear fox]

aah

i see

[fluid heron]

anyone elses Microsoft account look like this?

its been a constant for over 2 months now

[storm shore]

i got continues requests to reset password. tldr someone with your mail is just continuosly trying to log in and find the pass

[fluid heron]

its so annoying

i get emails every day with the single use codes

[storm shore]

yeah same. nothing we can do about it

[crude oxide]

Wouldn’t that mean they have your password

[storm shore]

it is pretty much them requesting to log in a different way than the ussual way

[fluid heron]

think they hit forgot password and then this code is Microsofts workaround

[storm shore]

like using fingerprint instead of pin code on phone for example

[crude oxide]

Weird, never seen a single use code for resetting a password

[fluid heron]

theres never been a successful sign in other than me but its still worrying lmao

[storm shore]

quick google search mentions that a single use code is for a one time use literally. like if u try using it in a public location

[fluid heron]

so they have the password?

[storm shore]

doubt it

[fluid heron]

meh, updated it anyway just to see if it stops

[storm shore]

ussualy u always also get a mail about having logged in from a different ip-adress if they did

[fluid heron]

true

[olive dune]

yeah like 30 per day on my very first email

[fluid heron]

ah alright, that makes me feel better that its not just me

the emails make me worry hahaha

[olive dune]

i dont get any emails fortunately

[storm shore]

i apparantly also got this lol

[storm shore]

fyi, the email u gets also mentions that u can simply ignore it if u are not the one requesting it

wish you could geoblock the account

[near meadow]

interestingly mine is fine. do you have the 2 factor auth with microsoft authenticator?

i'm pretty sure i used my microsoft email for a ton of stuff like shopping sites

ah no lol so there's a ton of that on mine as well

you might run into issues with geoblocking if that ever was a thing like for example you go overseas and forget that you have it enabled and suddenly you cant access your outlook and stuff

[fluid heron]

yeah i have 2fa/mfa for anything I can at this point

and true but im only really gonna put it on the countries trying to get in, china/russia etc.

[near meadow]

i think the mfa is enough for now. nothing we can do since there's no country blocking allowed

[fluid heron]

yeah, I dont have tons on this account anymore, I do have Azure but most things have moved to my work accounts bc more free credits. Just feels worrying as theres still some connections

https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/cloudskillschallenge/ai/registration/2023?ocid=aisc23_CSC_skillsforaiblog_cnl anyone else want a special badge 😎

[crude oxide]

discord badge?

[fluid heron]

nah MS badge

and certificate i think

Once you complete a challenge, you will receive a Microsoft Learn AI Skills Challenge badge and certificate of completion

[crude oxide]

seems useless

investors are throwing millions at people just using the openai api

let alone anyone with "skills"

[fluid heron]

true, I've wanted to learn more about ML as i don't really touch on it at work so im just going through it slowly

[crude oxide]

ml is a little different to llms tho

[fluid heron]

yeah they give you options on what courses you can do

[crude oxide]

a lot of businesses are gonna get btfo when/if openai closes off their api

[fluid heron]

[crude oxide]

pinging a rest endpoint so much easier than setting up llama2 or something yourself

hi sorryyy does anyone know how to use adobe audition? its so difficult and i desperately need to know what my interviewee is saying in this one audio recording. the tutorials are so hard to follow compared to premiere pro. its for my thesis. if anyone is available please let me know, thank you!

[winter ingot]

Why Adobe Audition?

Can I know what exactly you are tasked to do?

[dull scaffold]

good news: new wire appears to have fixed the issue i was having

confusing news: old wire no longer has the issue i was having

technology amirite

[devout copper]

im so sorry for getting back so late! i tried other applications but it just doesnt really do much to fix the audio, they tend to have like premium packages for basic effects. some of the audio recording of my interviewees sound pretty bad, i wanna get rid of the sound of me typing, the wind, the background noise, and just anything to somehow make the audio as clear as possible. i tried fixing one audio in audition and its still bad but i can understand what the interviewee is saying.

[devout copper]

yayyy

[devout copper]

😭😭

[winter ingot]

What is the nature of the audio?

2 person interview?

Was it intentionally recorded in a noisy environment?

[devout copper]

yes there are two voices, me and the interviewee. but its mostly them because i only ask the questions and make sure the point theyre trying to say. hmm if you mean if i want the noise of the noisy environment then nooo.

[winter ingot]

hmm if that's the case there's really not much to do since the environment is unsatisfactory

However, if I may , I want to request the audio in question, see what we are looking at

[devout copper]

oh sure! i appreciate it, hold upp

ill send the gdrive link to u after u accept my friend request!

[echo oriole]

DK if you guys can tell but paint on my laptop has started to go...

Why's it doing that?

[proper star]

Hello

Can I put Gskill's Ram in my laptop which has a Kingston ram? Eventho the specs are the same?

[balmy gust]

do you mean putting 2 ram sticks with different brands, or just replacing the kingston one with a gskill?

[proper star]

2 Ram sticks with different brands but both of them has the same specs

[balmy gust]

technically you can

if the one you're gonna add is just lying around getting unused

but if you're gonna buy and upgrade, better get a ram kit, i guess

[proper star]

I was just gonna buy only one because don't wanna spend much money now

[balmy gust]

then i'd recommend looking for the same kingston model

[proper star]

That model is not available anymore but there is a new model with the same specs except it's pricey

[balmy gust]

yeah i mean if you don't really wanna spend more, you can try. but maybe looking for a second hand, kit would still be better

'cause i've had the experience of buying 2 solo sticks from the same manufacturer, but they wouldn't even run together lol

freaking ram sticks are funny man

[near meadow]

modern hardwares doesnt care much about the difference. if your tasks aren't too memory intensive/critical then it will work as expected. i think if you put a slower one it will it will follow the slowest speed. which is negligible to day to day use like browsing/working on powerpoints / documents / email

[near meadow]

this is weird. i think LTT made a test about ram difference but it should work regardless of the difference

[fathom star]

hey techies

how do i clean/dry my phones charging port

[dark idol]

prob just let it dry naturally or hair dryer it on low

dont charge it

[storm shore]

ussualy with some tweezers u carefully take out some of the dust inside it

[restive vessel]

Clean it with isopropyl/rubbing alcohol on the end of a cotton swab. Rubbing alcohol is safe on circuits.

It also dries very quickly

I wouldn't use tweezers on an iphone if that is what you are cleaning.

They in particular with the "lightning cable" connectors are not something I advise to touch as they can warrant an appointment at an apple care centre if done very hastily.

[crude oxide]

any thermal throttlers

[proper sand]

i wasnt thermal throttling but i did repaste my laptop last week (as well as clean the fans thoroughly) and im amazed at the difference it made

[crude oxide]

yeah thats the problem

i just did repaste

[proper sand]

[crude oxide]

i think my cooler fluid has dried up

or i fucked up screwing down the mount

in hindsight buying an sff nzxt h1 wasnt a good idea

[olive dune]

yeah that shouldn't happen

[crude oxide]

i probably shouldnt have just ordered a new nzxt h1

but its the best i can do that doesnt leave me without a pc for weeks

[olive dune]

[crude oxide]

ok yea just repasted again thinking i may have put too much

still overheating at idle

cool

[olive dune]

h1 is not exactly the best designed case

[crude oxide]

its actually ogre

gg

[zinc kestrel]

watercooled?

is the pump running? lol

[crude oxide]

yeah 140mm aio

idk can’t tell with the fan at 100% lol

[zinc kestrel]

usually you can feel coolant moving through it

pump dying is the most likely issue on aios

[crude oxide]

i think the pump is on the block and I can’t get to that when it’s all closed up

But I think you’re probably right, there’s a slight twitch in the pipes when it boots and then no feeling at all
