that's the problem

And this one has a Z690 board that allows you to plonk a 13600K into it whenever you have the money for it

for 850

(And I'd argue it'd spank the TechRadar rig in literally any game benchmark you could want)

[elfin mural]

itx tho

[devout forum]

Prime Z790M-Plus brings it out to about the same price

Case is mATX anyway

[elfin mural]

one big issue with itx is only one pcie slot and m.2 slot tbh

matx would be better

[devout forum]

STRIX Z690-I GAMING WIFI is only 15 bucks more

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DMzR6D
This is 870 bucks and it spanks that TechRadar thing

Can't really fit an AMD platform for that tier GPU into the price sadly but

oh well

Try some other languages for awhile

[misty sparrow]

I can understand the AI not wanting to educate those under 18 about C++

it’s pretty complex

[devout forum]

you're right I am of stupid

but I can easily downgrade the mobo to B660 and get a good PSU in there

look I am not smart okay?

[devout forum]

I also wanted to put in a board that would allow later upgrades

[misty sparrow]

if you think you aren't smart, just know that there are people more unintelligent than you

[devout forum]

also also
I replaced the PSU like 3 times and probably forgot to readd the one I ended up choosing

[misty sparrow]

like kanye west

[devout forum]

that doesn't make me intelligent lmao

[misty sparrow]

at least you aren't him

[devout forum]

Knowing you're stupid doesn't make you smart

[misty sparrow]

it doesn't but i'm just saying there's always dumber people

if so you hit the channel name on the top and it opens the members list

[steel dagger]

Not sure what i did wrong but after applying 1720×1080 this is happening

Its doubling in the middle

Used CRU

Display scaling

[paper verge]

huh not bad

[cursive oasis]

Hey, can Laptop screens be replaced or fixed? A friend of mine dropped something on my gaming laptop and broke the screen

[paper verge]

yeah of course

[cursive oasis]

OK good

[paper verge]

open up the laptop

[cursive oasis]

Could they be upgraded replace a 1080p screen with a 1440p screen)?

[paper verge]

there should be a video on yt most likely

[paper verge]

no

[cursive oasis]

So in the case of my laptop having a 1080p 144hz screen, I HAVE to get another 1080p 144hz screen to replace it?

[paper verge]

i assume if the manufacturer uses a lower res maybe

[paper verge]

just go find the part number of your screen search it online and buy it

[rancid juniper]

huh, they look the same

yuzu dev got wrecked by Nintendo for paywalling yuzu updates for people who wanted to pirate TotK prerelease

gg RIP

[rancid juniper]

did nintendo win the case?

[unreal trail]

yes

[rancid juniper]

WAIT FR???

[unreal trail]

[rancid juniper]

are you cappin?

lemme check

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

thats insane

2.4Mil in fines

damn

https://www.polygon.com/24090351/nintendo-2-4-million-yuzu-switch-emulator-settlement-lawsuit#:~:text=Makers of Nintendo Switch emulator,source emulator just last week.

[rancid juniper]

@wary fjord Yuzu has lost

hopefully people got most yuzu builds and backed them up

i dunno if yuzu is even open source but thats CRAZY

they won

i mean it was obvious

☠️

[unreal trail]

thousands of people with no access to TotK to claim "I wuz emulating muh own backup lols" was playing it on yuzi before release. This case was ezpz for Nintendo.

[rancid juniper]

especially that patreon part

damn

oh well

hopefully ryujinx dont get into the mix

their emulator is well established/stable

[unreal trail]

hopefully people stop paywalling to update their emulators to play new releases for pirates who don't want to buy games

[rancid juniper]

this gives companies like nintendo an easy way to fight

these things supposed to be free

a community of devs can help build it

[unreal trail]

imaging the stupidity.. instead of paying the developer of the game, you pay some clown to code an emulator to play it instead

[weak cedar]

<company>
Deletes all user games

[rancid juniper]

😂

im still all for games being preserved

and nintendo have their share of trash decisions

and bs

[unreal trail]

preserved yes, but nobody deserves to play them for free out of some kind of spite

[rancid juniper]

you really cant stop them all

its inevitable

[weak cedar]

I only play them for free if I don't like the company

[rancid juniper]

however that doesn't mean they dont buy games

[unreal trail]

why do you play games from a company you dont like?

[weak cedar]

Hitman

[rancid juniper]

you can like what the DEVS put out but not the publisher is what he is talking about

[devout forum]

But emulating isn't piracy

[unreal trail]

in this case, it was being USED for piracy

[rancid juniper]

wow no kidding

but its not a tool for piracy

[unreal trail]

the excuse is tired and old lol

[devout forum]

Yeah like
Maybe if publishers and devs didn't make the experience of paying for games such dogcrap
People wouldn't pirate the games lmfao

Case in point

Denuvo

Is there anyone here that likes that utter piece of crap?

[unreal trail]

pls buy my game and play for a milliuon hours so my bitcoin miner is running on all your pcs

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[devout forum]

@unreal trail your pfp
Hand it over 🔫

I need to add it to my collection

[unreal trail]

AI drew it

[devout forum]

It looks like a KC character

[unreal trail]

it's Philia Felice from Tales of Destiny

[mortal grail]

this lasted like 3 days

[sage sluice]

Ai drew mine too

[rough zinc]

What will happen to yuzu for people who already have it installed?

[unreal trail]

Nintendo will send a loud flash animation of dancing russians to your PC

[sage sluice]

thatd be fire

[wary fjord]

but all emulator does that right? xD

its not for piracy

[mortal grail]

I was impressed Yuzu really thought they had something going against IP

[rough zinc]

Nintendos about to come after GBA emulators

[rancid juniper]

theyll be fine

[wary fjord]

ok one day all emulator vanish xD

[rancid juniper]

and since its the internet the latest build will be reposted multiple times

[wary fjord]

u cant play ur old games anymore

because ur machine broke

[rancid juniper]

also the switch's lifespan is literally over

[worn wave]

I mean if the developer in question only makes the game available on a crappy outdated handheld (still costs like $300 tho) that runs the game at 720p30fps... Emulator is the clear play

[unreal trail]

kek

[rancid juniper]

so you got tons of games to play on yuzu

really no big deal

lmao

[wary fjord]

ur physical machine has less lifespan

than emulator

🙂

[unreal trail]

not an excuse

[mortal grail]

Lawyer approved

[rancid juniper]

wild stuff doe XD

[wary fjord]

ryunjix next

rcps3 next

[rancid juniper]

watch, nintendo gonna go after ryujinx's ass

😂

[unreal trail]

nah Nintendo gonna go after netsticle next

[wary fjord]

i mean its not over

its open source

so under anon maintainer

can continue it

xD

[unreal trail]

but who is going to?

[wary fjord]

its not like its a sole dev who made yuzu alone

[rancid juniper]

you dont know what that anon person can do with the source code

[wary fjord]

they have tons

of devz

[rancid juniper]

well if you dont know coding

[unreal trail]

do you have a couple million ready in case Nintendo gets a case of itchy buttcrack?

[rancid juniper]

nintendo lawyers getting a high after this case

[sage sluice]

id pin that if i could

[rancid juniper]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[mighty hazel]

Wait is yuzu shutting down

[rancid juniper]

yes

[unreal trail]

yuzu and citra

are rip

[rancid juniper]

and no support for citra emulator

[wary fjord]

thats why its anon

[rancid juniper]

damn

[mighty hazel]

😭😭

[rancid juniper]

thats was a good 3ds emulator

no cap

[wary fjord]

u cant sue someone doesnt have any footprint in internet

[mighty hazel]

Common Nintendo L

[wary fjord]

xD

[unreal trail]

I admit I sold my 3DS and play OOT 3D on Citra with hi def textures

I have manhands and 3DS is too small for me

[rancid juniper]

its nice to play nintendo games at 4k

frfr

heck even on your phone

funny how nintendo is using an emulator themselves

hahahhah

Sony when they saw rpcs3:

[rough zinc]

Wonder if ryujinx will also end

[wary fjord]

might be next

they have same logic

one just written in c#

one written in c++

[rough zinc]

Nintendo is about to release their own emulator for $300

[wary fjord]

they do have their own emu for their old games

its on switch too

[mighty hazel]

49.99 per month

[rough zinc]

Switch emulator*

[wary fjord]

its subscription base too

[rough zinc]

Why am I not surprised

Here I am just emulating old games on my 3DS

Hacked 3DS FTW

[mighty hazel]

Aren’t there any yuzu alternatives

Or is that it 💀

[rough zinc]

There are

[wary fjord]

https://www.nintendo.com/us/switch/online/nintendo-switch-online/classic-games/

[rough zinc]

Ryujinx being one

[mighty hazel]

Ah

[rancid juniper]

ryujinx

[grand kernel]

unironically there would probably be a market for a $300 officially supported, flawless emulator

[mighty hazel]

Nintendo went after yuzu after they couldn’t get palworld 💀

[rancid juniper]

frick nintendo

lmao

[sage sluice]

if one system falls, another one will rise, this applies to emulators too

[grand kernel]

running switch games at 4k60

[rancid juniper]

well

[rough zinc]

I want 4k240

[rancid juniper]

takes time n effort

[sage sluice]

ofc

but people are persistent

[rancid juniper]

didnt nintendo pull that mario game years ago?

[wary fjord]

if switch aint that slow piece of crap

[rancid juniper]

forgot what they called it

but it was limited

[wary fjord]

emulator might take a while

xD

[rough zinc]

Switch one or mobile one?

[wary fjord]

theres some games to play at nice pc hardware

[grand kernel]

damn you gonna be dunking on kids in switch overwatch

[rancid juniper]

switch

it was this i think

[rough zinc]

Because there was super Mario run on iOS but you could only play the first level unless you paid like $10

[wary fjord]

haha

EA

[rancid juniper]

so trash

[mighty hazel]

Oh yeah I remember that one

[rough zinc]

Nintendo is just EA

[rancid juniper]

EA east

as i call it

[sage sluice]

nintendo is EA but for more casual players

[rancid juniper]

yea

[unreal trail]

nah at least Nintendo makes games

[mighty hazel]

EA sports it’s in the game, for an additional 19.99

[sage sluice]

true

not sitting on a boat and doing nothing simulator

[rancid juniper]

its funny how sega doesn't really care much about piracy or emulation

i mean yea they are incorporating drm practices in their latest games doe

lol

[unreal trail]

Sega is held up by arcade business in Japan

[sage sluice]

if i were a big company and people pirated my work id honestly be happy to at least know that the people who werent gonna buy my game at least get the chance to enjoy it

[rancid juniper]

iirc there was like a PS1 emulator that got wrecked by sony because it played on dreamcast

[sage sluice]

90% go through legal means regardless

[rancid juniper]

i dont even think sega intervened on that

that patreon money gonna save the yuzu devs

[unreal trail]

ah yes Bleemcast

[rancid juniper]

YES THIS

lol

[wary fjord]

if yuzu is a chinese they will get away on this xD

[rancid juniper]

the last yuzu build

hahahahah

[wary fjord]

massive devz layoff.. emulators being sued.. hmm whats next

[rancid juniper]

wow

2024 is off to an interesting start

i mean

3 months in

[unreal trail]

honestly, Peach's Showtime is about to outsell FF7 Rebirth

[wary fjord]

it does

[rancid juniper]

FF7 is limited to a $500 system

[wary fjord]

peach sucks she is a easy girl to kidnap xD like no cap.

[rancid juniper]

ofc that peach game gonna win

ez

[unreal trail]

lol

[wary fjord]

mario dint even get much compensation from dying over and over on the series

[rancid juniper]

honestly if i was mario, i would already give up on the third kidnapping

like damn bowser

if you want her so much then take her

😂

[wary fjord]

yeah have some serious talk with bowser

knock on his door

with beer on my hand

[mortal grail]

"What's she done for me, huh"

[wary fjord]

"we have to talk"

[rancid juniper]

heh

[mortal grail]

"I saving her every week from this-a castle"

[rancid juniper]

like dont you have anything else better to do?

[mortal grail]

"She could try to lock her doors no?"

[rancid juniper]

you keep leaving your son to kidnap peach

smh

[wary fjord]

does peach even has parents

[rancid juniper]

be a better father

[rancid juniper]

na she just managed to exist

✅

[wary fjord]

does peach parents says dont talk to strangers

i bet not xD

[mortal grail]

the peach lore gets more and more obscure

[wary fjord]

and she delacre shes a princess? on what land again i forgot

[mortal grail]

she just materialises as some mutation of an amoeba

[wary fjord]

is it mushroom kingdom or something xD

i forgot really the lore

[mortal grail]

bubbles up from the carpet into what we know was peach

[rancid juniper]

nintendo moment

[wary fjord]

hahahaa

[rancid juniper]

The LSD kingdom?

yes

[mortal grail]

she's just a T-cell virus that got lost in the mario universe

[rough zinc]

I should sue Nintendo for fun, come up with some random emotional damage, hire good lawyer and win

Ggez

[wary fjord]

xD do you know how much money to sue someone

i will not take that for fun

unless i get it free.. can that be free

sue someone for free

hmm

she a old hag

she dint age she probably dont die either

dont save her

xD

[rough zinc]

I know a guy who will do it cheaper, trust

[pliant berry]

then you get wrapped up in a lawsuit that lasts a decade or something

[rancid juniper]

😂

[unreal trail]

[wary fjord]

he sounds like yuzu is working for him xD

[pliant berry]

what... he is angry about losing support on windows 7?

[unreal trail]

thats what it looks like

[pliant berry]

why would you still be using win 7 though. nearly everyone dropped support for it and is a legitimate security concern now

[wary fjord]

the project will grow faster if they drop support on older machine.

[pliant berry]

yeah. no use wasting resources on supporting an operating system that even microsoft themselves no longer support

https://tenor.com/view/aunty-donna-mark-mark-bonanno-mark-banana-ooga-booga-gif-21575407

[steel dagger]

1720x1080

Display scaling

[misty sparrow]

this is still bad but not as bad as other subscriptions on the market

NSO is just child’s play in comparison…$20 a year? Pretty much a good deal

[worthy tapir]

Yuzu nooooo 😭😭😭

How will I play my pikmin at 1440P 60fps

[velvet summit]

Except every other console is sold at a loss, while the switch is sold at a net profit

[rancid juniper]

the yuzu online rooms is gone

oof

[misty sparrow]

eh to be fair that’s Sony’s and MS’s problem

trying to squeeze power in a $500 price tag console

really if they made it so that they make some income per console made instead of losing it they’d be better off

[velvet summit]

Wouldn't be competitive with PC gaming if it wasn't $500

Sell hardware for the low, sell the much easier to sell parts for more

[rancid juniper]

@unreal trail @wary fjord @mortal grail citra too???

[unreal trail]

yes

[rancid juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/emoji-gif-24664106

thats literally the best 3ds emulator

[unreal trail]

I sold my 3DS, and yes

OOT3D plays great on Citra usually

[rancid juniper]

the last citra build

[unreal trail]

rip

[misty sparrow]

really these guys are dying bc Nintendo is a big company and the legal costs just overwhelm them

[pliant berry]

So what does that mean? They just get no future updates?

[misty sparrow]

if they fought the legal costs they could probably win

[unreal trail]

they basically just gave Nintendo the money they scraped off people on patreon

[pliant berry]

Ahh

[unreal trail]

dont paywall your emulator yo

[rancid juniper]

the emulators are no more basically

if you have it already installed on your pc then fine

but no new builds

[pliant berry]

So yeah basically just whatever is left floating on the internet

[rancid juniper]

^^^

yep

[pliant berry]

Well that’s stupid. Thanks again nintendo for forcing people to buy bad products

[unreal trail]

I'm glad for PCSX2 though, only way I can play Tales of Destiny in English because Namco literally ignores fans when we ask for it to be localized

kinda like Mother 3

[rancid juniper]

and people ask why emulators are important

its things like this

companies either fail to
-add extra support to game

-localization issues

-pulling game off market sometimes too early

-hardware aging

[pliant berry]

There is also the issue of you can’t legally play the game if they don’t sell it

[misty sparrow]

they didn’t

it’s essentially a donation

[rancid juniper]

thats ryujinx

[misty sparrow]

Oh never mind then

[rancid juniper]

yuzu was more like early access

[unreal trail]

O

[rancid juniper]

that gave nintendo one of the many reasons to dunk on them

[unreal trail]

I'm making spaghett

[misty sparrow]

How are the Switch emulators any different from that PS3 emulator that also had a donate button, faced a similar lawsuit, and then won

[unreal trail]

Nintendo

[misty sparrow]

how is this different from those emulators that tell you to dump your own BIOS and keys

[unreal trail]

Sony doesn't have ninjas to come assassinate you

[rancid juniper]

for sega they allow fangames of all sorts but their ONLY rule is to not profit off it

very easy to follow

some did it and got taken down

rightfully so

[unreal trail]

imagine what kind of chaos Sega could create if they went after everyone who made a Sonic fangame

[pliant berry]

Yeah literally just the company behind it

[unreal trail]

[rancid juniper]

would be one of the most hated companies

LMAO

i mean they hired people who made the fangames to make sonic mania

a very good game

[unreal trail]

yep

but they got mad when it outperformed Sonic FOrces lol

[rancid juniper]

☠️

when the fans make games better than you

[misty sparrow]

Nintendo would probably take down an orphanage just because one kid is named Mario

[rancid juniper]

absolutely

[misty sparrow]

or if they put up drawings of Mario

[unreal trail]

Did they go after that kid who was buried in a Mario themed coffin?

[rancid juniper]

i thought that was spiderman or something

[rancid juniper]

...

[unreal trail]

[rancid juniper]

😂

[ancient swift]

If the rumors of Sony and Microsoft making a handheld are true, I really hope they don't aim too high. 720p OLED with a stable 60fps would be reasonable 😭

[young matrix]

90fps

[ancient swift]

That would be great. But I question the hardware they'd use + battery life.

[young matrix]

[Insert AMD APU here, probably RDNA3 + Zen4X3D] + 60hz power saving mode

would make a killer handheld

[ancient swift]

Like, the steam deck will rarely get 90fps at 800p. And AMD's igpu options haven't really improved that much.

[young matrix]

fair point

i feel like next gen it can improve

[tranquil pebble]

rip ig

[young matrix]

a good amount

[tranquil pebble]

Why would you refund it though?

[ancient swift]

Unless you increase the wattage but insert less than 1 hour battery

[young matrix]

nvidia also might be a good option for an apu

[rancid juniper]

i didnt, gamepass expired

[tranquil pebble]

oh, so Microsoft being crappy with error messages then

lol

[young matrix]

honestly the switch only runs so well because the first party titles are crazy optimized

[ancient swift]

I could see Microsoft switching to Nvidia

But not Sony. Sony does hardware emulation not software so they could have issues with compatibility.

[tranquil pebble]

I got to level 99 and killed the reaper 3 times so far

[rancid juniper]

yep

[rancid juniper]

bro didnt deserve this beatdown

😭

[ancient swift]

Theoretically Xbox could solve that with virtual console. Which is how the Xbox does backwards compatibility.

[young matrix]

sonys way of emulation is so backwards ass

[tranquil pebble]

Reaper is a decent income source in late game P3R

[young matrix]

i can understand why they dont do PS3 emulation

that stuff is a nightmare

ive tried

[tranquil pebble]

PS3 = Cell CPU which is cursed

[young matrix]

fr

[tranquil pebble]

Very very cursed CPU

[young matrix]

im playing P3P

:P

[rancid juniper]

rpcs3 creators are wizards

dunno how they do it

[young matrix]

yeah

[rancid juniper]

but i dont wanna know

lmao

[tranquil pebble]

Technology + wizard = hacker

[rancid juniper]

😂

[ancient swift]

Microsoft and Nintendo virtual console is literally just software emulation, similar to how we do it on PC.

[tranquil pebble]

I mean this kind of hacker, not the criminal kind

[ancient swift]

Microsoft has licensing issues, but Nintendos just stingy

[young matrix]

ik that

[ancient swift]

They could literally put their whole first party library on the switch and it'd work. But they won't

[young matrix]

i dont see the reason ps4 emulation doesnt work on ps5 tho tbh

[rancid juniper]

nintendo will never stop taking legal action against anyone

[ancient swift]

PlayStation has their CPU and GPU with a switch in it, to replicate the hardware of a PS4.

[rancid juniper]

meaning that it can run PS4 games natively?

something like what the PS3 fat can do with ps2?

[ancient swift]

Yeah, the PS5 is backwards compatible with the majority of PS4 games.

[ancient swift]

Correct

[rancid juniper]

nice

[young matrix]

honestly seems so stupid considering theyre both x86 consoles

[ancient swift]

The biggest issue being they don't get any of the improvements of the PS5 hardware including load times.

[young matrix]

like with the PS3 and before i can understand because those are proprietary archetectures

[rancid juniper]

maybe thats just the way the game was designed? idk?

[ancient swift]

Afaik, they run like the regular PS4. So not even the PS4 pro patches.

[young matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/little-big-planet-what-da-hell-little-big-planet-what-ayo-what-gif-13768843195184919620

[ancient swift]

Nah, cause the Xbox does get the better load times

[rancid juniper]

what i do know is that some xbox 360 games gets HD patches on series s and x

oh and 60fps patches too

[ancient swift]

Xbox original games too. Particularly KOTOR and Morrowind because the textures were already there in the files but they didn't use em.

[rancid juniper]

wow

[ancient swift]

But Sony is obsessed with hardware emulation which has its benefits. But not in this situation imo.

Similar to FPGA it offers the exact same performance as original hardware instead of emulation which can help with some hard to run games.

But the ones it really makes sense for they don't do it.

Ie; You can not run ps4 VR games on the PS5. Which is where it would make the most sense in a modern system.

[rancid juniper]

i really dont think sony cares about emulation unless maybe if it gets recent

like a working ps5 emulator of the sorts

🤔

[mortal grail]

well who can blame them

PS3 was such a tire fire for anti-emulation

Xbox 360 too

thanks for the avx512 system

[rancid juniper]

bruh x360 emulation still somewhat broken

[ancient swift]

Sony and Microsoft don't care about emulation because it doesn't hurt them as much as it hurts Nintendo in the long run.

[mortal grail]

PS3 is great until you realise it was the most ass backwards programming

[rancid juniper]

i think there are fewer people working on xenia so that probably makes sense

[mortal grail]

TBF

TBF

I feel like, albeit Nintendo is welcome to do AAA

[rancid juniper]

yea, nintendo knows that their big $$$ comes from their own games in their own system, PS and xbox on the other hand can just port games

[mortal grail]

I feel Nintendo shouldn't charge the same price as the handhelds in most situations

[ancient swift]

More ps3 games worth playing that were never ported to PC than Xbox 360 tbf

[rancid juniper]

fair...

[mortal grail]

this is double true if they continue with the switch imo

[ancient swift]

I want the switch 2. Not because I need it, but because I like handhelds

[rancid juniper]

i like ryujinx's UI glowup

[ancient swift]

Speaking of handhelds. Someone get the MSI claw and tell me how it is

[mortal grail]

I think switch 2 would be good

[rancid juniper]

watch someone hack the switch 2 within a week

[mortal grail]

would definitely sway me

[rancid juniper]

who knows what kind of hardware mess up nvidia would do

[ancient swift]

I wouldn't doubt it.

[rancid juniper]

ye lol

[mortal grail]

but charging like, $70 for a game on a 10 year old piece of hardware is insane to me 💀

[rancid juniper]

THIS

that hardware weak as hell

[mortal grail]

10 years old AND mobile

lolol

[young matrix]

tbh i feel like theyd discontinue og switch games once the new one comes out like they did with ds and 3ds

make them go digital or something

[mortal grail]

If the game is good, well, I'd swing the other way

but for most games I just don't care

[ancient swift]

The switch is the only console that could emulate itself

[rancid juniper]

💀

[ancient swift]

That's how much they underclocked it.

[mortal grail]

Like a really good zelda? oh yeah, $70

freaking

idk

what's a mid game

nintendogs? LOL

[ancient swift]

If you overclock it, it can run an emulator.

[mortal grail]

$20 MAX

[ancient swift]

I wanna get a modded switch

[rancid juniper]

pretty sure modded switch v1's are kinda expensive

[ancient swift]

It can emulate Xbox and PS2 as well 🥲

[rancid juniper]

at that point having a steamdeck is better

[ancient swift]

I have a V1 switch tbh but I don't use it.

[rancid juniper]

mod it bruh

lmao

[ancient swift]

I'm lazzzyyyy

[rancid juniper]

DEW IT

you can oc it and such

add custom backgrounds idk

[ancient swift]

And run android or Ubuntu

Where's the Nvidia shield portable modding community.

[rancid juniper]

look how much they selling for if you do hack it

XD

[ancient swift]

Lemme put Linux on it.

[rancid juniper]

bruh

[ancient swift]

That's the hard mod. Gotta sodder a mod chip in it

The other one you just need a jig

[sour falcon]

Yeah I peeled them off idk what I’m supposed to do with that information

Idk if that means they lied originally because if they were just reusing a box design they’d probably just change the specs prior

[mortal grail]

Fan testing is not standardised

and also really difficult

you could call it misleading...but also

kinda hard to call it a lie at the same time

[sour falcon]

Fan enough

[mortal grail]

💀

I'm not saying like "oh leave big company alone"

more so that the industry in general

numbers like that explain almost nothing

strong example

Corsair's worst fan, the LL120

90mm fan in a 120mm cage

60+CFM

Arctic P12's

arguably one of the best fans for price/perf

also

60+CFM

and if you check performance between these

one is WAY better

[sour falcon]

Is 40cfm bad

[elfin mural]

it's just a measurement without any standards

[sour falcon]

Ah

[proud jackal]

i have 9 of them

[mortal grail]

Getting rid of mine was the best thing I ever did

[elfin mural]

double L of corsair

[mortal grail]

Real

[random osprey]

oh felix, i was really debating on buying the corsair 2500d as my matx case and just have my mom and step dad buy me the wood panels but i found out that the case comes with no fans

case do look nice but no fans is crazy at $160

[mortal grail]

You thought Corsair was reasonable at their prices?

[tranquil pebble]

this game is funny sometimes

[random osprey]

the 4000d was

[mortal grail]

Ofc they won't add fans, cos other premium brands don't

[random osprey]

well, before the 4000d went up in price a little but was a good case for the price

[mortal grail]

They'll make you spend $500 on that iCue LINK system to boot

Imo it's good that it has no fans

Go and get actually competent fans

Like C12C-SW

[mortal grail]

The new budget choice from them is the 3000D and that does have fans

Like $60 or something

I often skip over it though as it's a bit of an awkward size

[random osprey]

theo, buy me the 2500d and ill buy some white fans from elsewhere

[elfin mural]

corsair 3000d exists?

[mortal grail]

Yes

Better deal than 4000D

Similar size

[elfin mural]

cool

[random osprey]

sadge, 2500d isnt on amazon except on the amazon uk storefront. couldve used some giftcard to try and get it to around $100

fractal design pop still on the list then for the pc

[mortal grail]

Pop >>>>>

[elfin mural]

pop has trash stock fans tho

[mortal grail]

They aren't trash

[random osprey]

the pop mini doesnt seem to have a non rgb version, only rgb fans

[mortal grail]

They're full range fans

But they're not pwm

That's the only thing

[elfin mural]

ah

[mortal grail]

The fractal prisma or whatever they're called are actually quite good

Download fancontrol app and the voltage issue no longer exists (they act like pwm)

[elfin mural]

i mean fair

i used fancontrol to control dc fans

[mortal grail]

Just grab a set of C12C's or P12's

Compared to the price of that corsair fishtank that's a pittance

Lol

[random osprey]

i might as well grab the fishtank then. the pop mini will have a random rgb button and ill just have 3 rgb fans sitting around if i swap them

[tranquil pebble]

https://kittenlabs.de/real-gaming-router/

lol

[random osprey]

bro i went to arctics website and legit thought they got awards from Buc-ee's

[rancid juniper]

RGB Tax

[random osprey]

arctic doesnt seem to have a 3 or 5 pack of the white p12's

so id have to buy every individual one that i need

$35 for 5 pack p12 or $30 for 2 white p12's

[rancid juniper]

OOF

honestly get these

[random osprey]

any no rgb

[rancid juniper]

got the black varients in my case (6 of them) and they go well

lemme check

[random osprey]

think single, no bundle

[mortal grail]

Never did

[random osprey]

cheaper tho compared to arctic

[mortal grail]

C12C white is cheaper than p12 singles iirc

[rancid juniper]

LOL

[mortal grail]

And better

$7 a fan

[rancid juniper]

you gotta get em single

yea

[mortal grail]

Yep

[random osprey]

alright, time to make changes to my pcpp list

[mortal grail]

They also have C12R

[random osprey]

not getting the fractal pop mini, getting the corsair fish tank

[mortal grail]

Which is reverse flow

Fans

[rancid juniper]

reverse flow?

[random osprey]

filling the fish tank with those tl c12's

[rancid juniper]

bruh im learning something new

[random osprey]

also yknow, also works out cause i have the white thermalright cpu cooler

[mortal grail]

You know the fans the expensive brands sell that make it so the cage is on the wrong side

So it looks visually nicer

C12R does that

[rancid juniper]

oh

[mortal grail]

C12C but reversed

[rancid juniper]

thats interesting

[mortal grail]

$7

They charge

Nothing

Hard to find though

[rancid juniper]

seriously, how do they make a profit?

[mortal grail]

By being goated

The goats before noctua

That's thermalright

[rancid juniper]

ig thats one way to look at it

literally all of my cooling on my pc is thermalright

[mortal grail]

Every time corsair sells a fan they make like 3000% profit

[rancid juniper]

CPU ILM
CPU Cooler
Thermalpaste - For gpu
Case fans

[mortal grail]

Thermalright like nah fam, ima keep it 💯 ong frfr

[rancid juniper]

yea

the airflow on my case is like 3x better than it was last time

my cpu remains 50-60c under load in games

[mortal grail]

Once you get good fans you can't go back

[rancid juniper]

and my gpu would hit like 65c max on core

[mortal grail]

Anyway it's time for me to go

Bai

[rancid juniper]

bye

[mortal grail]

[rancid juniper]

👌

[random osprey]

need 8 of these fans, about $60

[rancid juniper]

💀

[random osprey]

better than arctic. wouldve been about $120

well, like $130 cause tax

[rancid juniper]

☠️

[random osprey]

the corsair case can hold up to 11 but gonna do vertical mount so minus 3

[rancid juniper]

cool cool

[weak cedar]

Any desktop speakers to recommend?

I ruptured my eardrum so I can't use my headphones right now

[mortal grail]

Open backs on a desk

[weak cedar]

My ear is oozing and don't want that on my headphones

[obsidian berry]

Perhaps no sound?

Would be best

But considering your eardrum is busted I’d say any speaker would be Alr as long as it’s not too loud

[weak cedar]

Well playing dying light 2 sound helps 😅

[mortal grail]

I'd look at rtings to see if they have anything

I never look at stereo stuff

You probably want something more on the low end of frequency response for ear care

[weak cedar]

It should be healed in 4 weeks? Or something

It's basiccly a hole that we'll self heal

[obsidian berry]

I’m pretty sure your doctor said this, but don’t use ear plugs or anything. The pressure might mess with your ear

I’d use an earcup perhaps to dampen noise on thet one ear

[weak cedar]

I have a astro headset

But since my ear is oozing I don't want to get liquid earwax? On it

[obsidian berry]

Google said the oozing should stop in 2-3 days

But just avoid like loud noises

That caused your ear to rupture

[weak cedar]

It's why I'm looking for just computer speakers. Nothing $$$ but also not the 10.00 ones

[weak cedar]

Coughing 😅

[obsidian berry]

Damm, that sucks

[weak cedar]

It wasn't sound I had a ear infection and it got to point it blew after I coughed

Bright side. The pain went away 🙃 after a hole was made

[obsidian berry]

This one seems decent

[weak cedar]

I'll look into that later

Oh yeah one of those portable speakers might be really good

You can use that for travel later so won't feel like a loss

Benefitting mankind in a way ig

[sour falcon]

W h a t☠️

That is the WORST way to benefit mankind and honestly it’s more of a hinderance than a benefit

Would you want a doctor to treat you who cheated to pass their classes???

[obsidian berry]

I agree tbh, I’ve read some of my classmates post on discussions and it was obv ai

[sour falcon]

It’s terrible honestly

[obsidian berry]

I mean ai is very useful for research gathering, but just using it to do your assignments is harmful

[sour falcon]

100%

Like the person who came on here for help and mentioned about using gpt for help with diagnosis

Honestly that’s smart asf, I never would’ve thought of it

But stuff like homework and tests that are meant to test YOU? Yeah no honestly paper and pen/pencil needs to make a comeback. Or atleast some form of testing that won’t contribute to trash and such

[dusk knot]

No. We fight. We resist! Down with the automatons!

[obsidian berry]

I’ve used gpt before to read a medical chart for a uti for an assignment and it was pretty detailed honestly.

[sour falcon]

I’ve never used the prompts myself aside from a random photo generator my friend added to his server

[obsidian berry]

It brought up every medical term and possible diagnosis from the chart and actually provided good reasoning for a diagnosis

[dusk knot]

Watch out for the hallucinations that AI can generate

[sour falcon]

I’d say impressive but it is just searching the internet and copmpiling it

[sour falcon]

Lmfao

Snapchat has an AI and it’s behind time wise

[wary fjord]

ow chatgpt is old news try gemini

[obsidian berry]

Yea gpt is run on math but can’t solve math lol

[dusk knot]

Is it "smarter"?

[obsidian berry]

Bard is def more useful than gpt before the update for research just bc it could access the web

[wary fjord]

currently better than gpt right now

[sour falcon]

HAHAHA

[wary fjord]

because of token limitation

[sour falcon]

the 4090 still hasn’t been released yet as per Snapchats Ai response

[dusk knot]

I'll give it a try. Thanks (:

[wary fjord]

because the model is outdated 🙂

[dusk knot]

What's that?

[sour falcon]

Mhm

But it’s also weird

It confirms it can use Google, yet can’t search

[wary fjord]

gemini has google on its back

gpt

scrapped

gemini doesnt

it has the data

xD

[sour falcon]

Yeah that’s why it was racist lol

That’s hilarious honestly

[wary fjord]

xD

[dusk knot]

Racist? Lol?

[sour falcon]

Yeah apparently it was being racially biased

[dusk knot]

Hmmm

[wary fjord]

must be nice to have google data as your data set without scrapping it

[obsidian berry]

Bard is just google on steroids

[dusk knot]

Seriously, AI is only as bad as the people behind it..it's not intelligent or aware. Smh

[elfin mural]

damn

that data is fresh for free ai model

[dusk knot]

That's really really good

Or really bad

[elfin mural]

lol yeah

[sour falcon]

For now anyway

[elfin mural]

it gets things wrong still sometimes

and ai won't replace more intricate tasks tbf

it will make things easier or faster

[wary fjord]

xD @dusk knot

u can just talk it like this if u think hes wrong

[elfin mural]

but wholly replace em? not quite

[wary fjord]

ai responded back after reconfirming the data

[dusk knot]

Ah

[wary fjord]

u cant do that on gpt xD gemini gang

At least it learns and doesn't repeat the same mistakes over and over again even though I tell it is wrong 💀
